      CIMN
      presented
      their
      ‘‘Plan
      of
     
     
      Action’’.
      The
      Plan
      of
      Action
      is
      a
     
     
      document
      which
      states
      a
      number
      of
     
     
      points
      that
      CIMN
      and
      the
      Student
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Union
      must
      follow
      in
      order
      to
      make
     
     
      CIMN
      an
      open
      air
      broadcasting

      would
      be
      available
      on
     
     
      open
      airways.
      As
      it
      stands
      now,
     
     
      CIMN
      is
      only
      available
      on
      AM
      in
     
     
      Bernardine

      The
      Plan
      of
      Action
      contained
     
     
      several
      points
      which
      Inman
      charac-
     
     
      terised
      as
      ‘‘disturbing’’,
      but
      none
     
     
      were
      more
      disturbing
      then
      the
      nego-
     
     
      tiations
      CIMN
      were
      holding
      with
      C.
     
     
      Reimer,
      a
      religious
      broadcaster.
     
     
      CIMN
      was
      negotiating
      with
      this
     
     
      organizations
      to
      air
      10
      hours
      per
     
     
      week
      of
      religious
      programming
      for
      a
     
     
      yearly
      fee
      of
      approximately
      $27,000.
     
     
      CIMN
      was
      planning
      to
      use
      their
     
     
      increased
      revenue
      to
      hire
      a
      full
      time
     
     
      station
      director.
      The
      disturbing
      part
     
     
      is
      the
      nature
      of
      some
      of
      C.
      Reimer’s
     
     
      broadcasting,
      which
      was
      described
     
     
      by
      Amanda
      Hill
      as
      ‘‘anti-abortion
     
     
      and
      homophobic’’.
      However,
      CIMN
     
     
      would
      have
      the
      option
      to
      chose
     
     
      which
      broadcasts
      they
      would
      air.
     
    

    
     
      While
      CIMN
      was
      not
      planning
     
     
      on
      broadcasting
      the
      particular
      pro-
     
     
      grams
      which
      were
      of
      a
      homophobic
     
     
      nature,
      support
      of
      a
      company
      that
     
     
      promotes
      this
      type
      of
      agenda
      remains
     
     
      disturbing
      to
      the
      Student
      Union
     
     
      Executive.
      Tara
      Inman
      stated
      ‘‘We
     
     
      were
      horrified
      to
      learn
      that
      CIMN
     
     
      was
      negotiating
      with
      such
      a
      com-
     
     
      pany,’’
      and
      Allin
      followed
      by
      saying
     
     
      **We
      were
      not
      aware

      C.
      Reimer.”’
     
    

    
     
      A
      further
      problem
      with
     
     
      CIMN’s
      Plan
      of
      Action
      is
      their
     
     
      proposed
      budget.
      According
      to
      Vice-
     
     
      President
      Operations
      Finley
      Martin,
     
     
      ‘*Some
      of
      their
      numbers
      just
      don’t
     
     
      fit.’’
      In
      response
      to
      budget
      questions,
     
     
      station
      manager
      Amanda
      Hill
      claims
     
     
      ‘*These
      are
      just
      some
      numbers

      more
      or

      Despite
      these
      setbacks,
      the
     
     
      CIMN
      executive
      is
      optimistic
      that
     
     
      the
      station
      will
      be
      able
      to
      go
      open
      air
     
     
      in
      the
      near
      future.

      the
      end
      of
     
     
      November
      1995,
      UPEI
      held
      a
      public
     
     
      bidding
      competition,
      somthing
      the
     
     
      university
      has
      not
      done
      in
      a
      number
      of
     
     
      years.
      This
      competition
      was
      held
      to
     
     
      decide
      who
      would
      service
      the
      vending
     
     
      machines
      on
      campus.
      Seaman’s
      and
     
     
      Western
      both
      submitted
      proposals,
      as
     
     
      well
      as
      another
      company,
      and
      Western
     
     
      won.
     
    

    
     
      Western
      Vending
      and
      Coca-Cola
     
     
      Canada
      submitted
      a
      joint
      proposal,
      with
     
    
   
   
    
     
      _
      Western
      handling
      the
      snacks
      and
     
    
   
   
    
     
      candies,
      and
      Coke
      supplying
      pop
      and
     
     
      Fruitopia
      beverages.
      One
      of
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      changes
      is
      having
      Coke
      and
      Pepsi
      in
      the
     
     
      same
      machine.
      Coke
      agreed
      to
      this
     
     
      change
      because
      Pepsi
      sells
      well
      on
     
     
      campus.
      What
      does
      all
      this
      mean
      to
      us,
     
     
      the
      students
      who
      feed
      these
      machines
     
     
      on
      an
      hourly
      basis
      during
      exams?
      More
     
     
      money!
      Isn’t
      that
      a
      first?!
      -
     
    

    
     
      Under
      the
      terms
      of
      the
      new
      three-
     
     
      year
      deal,
      UPEI
      makes
      more
      money
      by
     
     
      way
      of
      returns.
      The
      return
      rate
      in-
     
     
      creased
      thanks
      to
      the
      new
      contract,
      and
     
     
      the
      revenue
      from
      it
      goes
      directly
      into
     
     
      student
      funds.
      These
      funds
      include
      the
     
     
      Library
      Endowment
      Fund,
      and
      the
     
     
      Memorial
      Bursary
      Fund.
      With
      the
      new
     
     
      contract,
      UPEI
      can
      probably
      increase
     
     
      the
      amount
      of
      money
      in
      these
      funds,
      a
     
     
      big
      reason
      for
      the
      signing
      of
      Western
     
     
      Vending.
     
    

    
     
      So
      what
      happens
      to
      Seaman’s
     
     
      Beverages?
      ‘‘We
      consider
      Seaman’s
     
     
      Beverages
      and
      Rundell
      Seaman
      as
      good
     
     
      friends
      of
      the
      University.
      It
      was
      a
     
     
      difficult
      decision,
      but
      when
      it
      comes
      to
     
     
      business
      decisions,
      we
      have
      to
      deal
      in
     
     
      business,’
      said
      Blaine
      Jensen.
      ‘“‘It
      all
     
     
      comes
      down
      to
      how
      much
      money
      UPEI
     
     
      can
      make,
      and
      student
      services.’
     
    

    
     
      The
      sheets
      for
      comments
      on
      the
     
     
      vending
      machines
      go
      directly
      to
      West-
     
     
      ern
      Vending,
      and
      they
      appreciate
     
     
      student
      comments
      on
      how
      they
      are
     
     
      doing.
      This
      is
      apparently
      a
      new
      market
     
     
      for
      them,
      and
      they
      are
      interested
      in
     
     
      hearing
      from
      students.
      In
      all,
      it
      should
     
     
      be
      a
      good
      three
      years,
      and
      don’t
      be
     
     
      afraid
      to
      call
      for
      that
      lost
      loonie.
