      many

      members
     
     
      complaining
      about
      the

      made
      it
      nearly
      impossible

      As
      of
      March
      14,
      some
      classes
     
     
      were
      moved
      to
      the

      construction
      times
      were
     
     
      changed

      find
      a
      compromise
      between
     
     
      construction
      workers
      and
      the
      UPEI
     
     
      population,
      ensuring
      the
      job
      gets
     
     
      completed
      and
      students
      get
      their
     
     
      money’s
      worth
      in
      tuition.

      13
      years
     
     
      ago
      said
      it
      was
      a
      combination
      of
      horrible
     
     
      conditions
      and
      the
      realization
      that
     
    
   
   
    
     
      increased
      tuition
      should
      mean
      increased

      smashing

      banging
      of

      “Those
      things
      I
      just
      said

      with
      the

      almost

      the
      amount

      this.

      response
      from
      Jackie
      MacPhail

      for
      the

      MacPhail
      also
      explained
      that
      a
      meeting
     
     
      was
      held
      with
      key
      people

      the
