Lighting, safety werry women
OTTAWA. (CUP) — The ‘rising member of sexual assaults and incidents of sexual harassment on] Cana— dian campuses has forced many universities to offer women escort services and improve lighting.
Walk-home services are now offered at Carleton Uni- versity in_Ottaw and Wilfrid Laurier University in Water- loo. And McMaster Univer- sity- in Hamilton and the University of western Ontario in London both offer drive- home services at night.
Residence students at Carleton have compiled a list of 25 men who are willing to walk ‘women around the poorly lit campus. “The re- cent attack of a woman at the athletic centre was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” says residence-dweller Dianne Selt. ,
“What we’re stressing is that common sense is the pest preventative measure,” she says. “That’s where the walk- home service fits in.”
At Wilfrid Laurier, stu- dents .gather at a common meeting place and walk home together. The scheme has been operating since Sep
'tember.
The
McMaster student
council voted in September ‘
to spend $6080 on a drive- home service for students
who must stay on campus late at night. The van will have a two-way radio to en- sure contact' with campus security is maintained and it is expected the service will be used primarily by library staff and nurses.
At McGill University, new lights have been installed to help make the campus safer, but the physical plant manager says students must still realize McGiIl is not a safe place after dark.
“The important thing is to make people aware of the danger,” says AJ. Rostaing. “Some people are naive and this is a big metropolis.”
Carleton is not molestation- proof either, says walk-home organizer Marty O’Grady. “To improve safety on cam- pus, we need better lighting. But the cost factor will cause problems.”
At UPEI, Director of Physical Plant Don Coles says he’s waiting for new, brighter outdoor fixtures to arrive. ,
“After the new lighting is in place (possibly by the end of October), we’re planning a walk-through of the campus after dark to see where there's a need for extra. lights,” Coles says.
Nothing will be done until then, he explains, although
he’s noted himself how dark

When people hear of the upcoming Business School review, they may think that it issimply to decide if the 1980 decision was a good one - period. V A
However, much more will probably be involved. _
When the original decision to separate Business from the
Arts faculty came, not much -
research had been done to determine the ‘variety of alter- natives possible. according to some .1980 Senate members. At 'the‘October 30, 1980, meetin'g,‘"Dr. Wendell Mac-
Intyre is recorded as having _
said that alternatives had not been fully explored. Other members cited examples of what other universities have done, with regards to their Business programs. '
In a recent.intervi‘ew,-Dean v of Arts, Vemer Smithaam,.., , _ , ’ ' specialized to the pomt where

The Scholarship Fund Fair held September 29 at the Barn did “very well”, according to convener Marian Power. “We made almost $8,000,” said Power, adding the turnout
of 600 was lower than expected.
Everything was sold, but Power explains the figure is lower than last year’s $10,000 because the UPEI Women’s Com-. mittee, who sponsored the fair, decided not to hold the
usual auction this year.

According to the Univer- .
sity statistics for the spring semester of 1984, 924 regular students were. enrolled in business courses as opposed to 934 regular students en- rolled in psychology courses. One of the strongest argu- ments in. 1980 involved the Business program’s student population.
“The number of enrolment is a very poor basis for de- ciding on the administrative structure of the university. I wonder what people would "think if psychology decided to become a school of its own?’ says Smitheram.
This, and. other factors such as the relationship that exists now between Business and Arts, will be looked at in the review. Smitheram says, “The best thing they have done is that they haven’t

Before I speak, I’d like to say something. Douglas, thank you muchly for letting me drink most of your coffee every day. I couldn’t live without you, dear.
Now that recognition has been duly given to my life support system, let’s get down to the business of the week.

This week is dedicated to another restaurant review. Yippee. It’s time you heard about Charlottetown’s great

and Grey Room.
Pat’s greatest asset is the ‘
‘cli‘entele she attracts. People from- all walks of'life and backgrbunds step in for a bite of the great food, or just to .X3¥.~9Y‘3§..a easel. 99%? and

carrot cake. That carrot cake — sigh it’s like nothing you’ve ever kn0wn before.
Really, though, you could sit for hours taking in the marble soda fountain, the bottle and fan collections, and all that beautiful dark mohogany (not to mention the variety of people), and never tire of it.
Getting interested? I guess maybe I should tell you where it is, huh? Well, Pat’s is
- located on Richmond Street,
just across from the Con- federation Centre of the Arts.
Picture in your mind that .
its lunchtime. Pretend it is, if it isn’t. You say to your- self, “I’m hungry.” By ad- mitting to the desire you are halfway to satisfying and/or overcoming it.
Anyway, you get a bright idea, the first of the month. You frisk yourself, looking for some money. The; you remember: hey, I’m headed to Pat’s, I don’t need a whole lot of money.
so, you hop on your scooter (trike, Whatever) and away v09...s<>.-..¥es..ct9i§e
down University Avenue, saying to yourself, “Look out stomach, here comes the first real food in weeks.”
Now, you can have a pizza, and that’ll set you back $7.50 (if you get the works), or you can get breadsticks, they’ll cost you a measly dollar — you see, Pat’s takes pity on all peoplewho have to pay alimony.
In between the extremes, you can have your choice of sandwiches or subs, quiche, lasagna, or salads (try Louise’s Cheese salad, you get a veritable mountain of mozzarella). Then for dessert you get to have carrot cake, or whatever strikes your fancy. The coffee pot is bottomless. Thank God (see paragraph I for reason why).
,COme out of your reverie now. Pretend it’s supper —- I know I told you it was lunch- time, but don’t listen to me, what do I know anyway? I flunked the engineers Artsie Entrance Exam. 1 5 ~
As any self respecting busi- ness student would realize, Pres. $39.89,?! dines. is
somewhat greater than lunch-
time’s. Coffee’s still $.50 a cup(s), 2 skewers of surf and turf kabobs is $12.95. Every- thing else falls in between these two amounts. . Appetizers are standard favorities, leaning toward seafood. For entrees, you can choose pizza, any of a great variety of pasta dishes (for example, lasagna, veal parmi- giane, chicke cacciatore), steaks, a variety of seafood dishes, and some yummy salads. Desserts are just as tasty as lunchtime’s desserts. Pat’s staff is uper friendly. Ask them anything, they’ll try to help you get an answer (please confine yourself to certain limits, though
don’t expect them to under- "
stand why there are Third World and First World nations, and be able to give you a condensed dissertation over coffee).
S’alright? S’alright.
Well, I’m heartily sick of talking at you for this week. See you again next week, same time, same place.
