y perspective at least) a splendid performance of I The floor was Open for qLEStionj-ng after 531B, :1. ~ole playing, President—designate Dr. P.M.

:ribute to the noble efforts of our. Student Union Ixecutive in upholding the necessary protocol which yoes' along with such visits. Student Union President, :eorge McGibbon, appeared satisfied for his opening tatenents to the general assembly, he felt quite at one at the ,

A number of things might account for that, I ,uppose. Specifically I would suggest'IWO which ppeared obviously related: (1) Mr. McGibbon' is now etting used to his position as president,-and 2) his highly favourable remarks concerning Dr. eincke's credentials, abilities and character were idhered to by a very limited crowd. A group comprised lainly of. the same partisan supporters who continue :0 care to all smdent assemblies.

Yet, one would do as well to leave that neither 1ere nor there. Let me first make a few caments on

)r. Meincke's address and then buzz off, oh. h 3,.

He admowledged on}?: a vague awareness of the problem the student body has faced in regard to the Landlord Tenant Act., But, for the most part, .thezquestions were specifically directed towards flue related problems he will face in moving into this new administrative

He presented a very short address to a very scant representation frcm within the student body. I Inclusive within his, talk was the suggestion that here at U.P.E.I. we have available the conditions allowing for very "warm" human relationships. (Just in "’ passing, he was later asked whether he had ever spent

a winter on P.E.I. To this he had to reply no. I got pOSltlon' . ‘ ‘ I the impression, however, that in the first instance, The question was raised concerning his teadiing his thoughts were not meant to be with environmental - r career. He affirmed that it is a "good way to stay Conditions) - i in tOuch with reality"(!!!) but was not sure if ‘ , ' his position would allomhim the time topermit its

He went on to state that he conSiders the continuance. He' hope that it would, "quality ofveducafion" at our university a very high. hwever_ - . "’* ' i . standard. , Linking this with the community, at large _ ' .» p..- ‘ I _ he stated that the university has to be sensitive to ' A11 in all; then; a very so—so meeting with. our SOCiEtY and n0t Situatea in an iSOlated tower 0f its new President. I do wish we could get over these own- We have to be a reSPOHSj-ble resource aid for the rigid formalities scneone feels we must adhere to

in these meetings, however. really, when you are ‘dealing with an assembly of 35 to 40 people, why

the hell do we need to address the others present through a microphone? It is my contention that things would becaie a hell of a lot freer in these- assemblies of ours if all the formal was cut a to a minim' um. .. g 3:: 1 .

I realize that order must be held! easy

does it on that argument O.K. Hopefully we're adaptable enough to speak out respectfulcf the others present. Mikes burn me —- even if these” . things are recorded. What's the to a formal program, on tape, if the . is so tight and melancholic that nothing ,mud‘i'fis stated or asked? One would do just as well to" sit

~ in front of the T.V. set at the Panther Lounge for the hour! Now really, Dr. P.M. Neincke — I don't even know what his first name is! '
