      On
      Friday,
      March
      |
      I
      received
     
    

    
     
      a
      phone
      call
      from
      Wayne
      Collins
      of
     
     
      CBC
      Radio.
      Mr.
      Collins
      was
      enquir-
     
     
      ing
      about
      the
      Feb
      13
      issue
      of
      the
     
     
      Panther
      Prints.
      That
      is
      right
      folks,
      he
     
     
      was
      asking
      about
      the
      sexuality
      sup-
     
     
      plement.
      Apparently,
      a
      parent
      called
     
     
      the
      CBC
      to
      complain
      about
      the
     
     
      supplement.
      After
      speaking
      with
      Mr.
     
     
      Collins,
      I
      thought
      I
      should
      write
      this
     
     
      little
      piece
      to
      clarify
      some
      points.
     
    

    
     
      We
      have
      been
      told
      that
      many
     
    

    
     
      people
      have
      called
      the
      student
      union,
     
     
      the
      administration,
      and
      even
      the
     
     
      Catholic
      Women's
      League
      to
      com-
     
     
      plain
      about
      our
      paper.
      Logically,
      if
     
     
      one
      has
      a
      problem,
      one
      should
      com-
     
     
      plain
      directly
      to
      the
      source
      --
      in
      this
     
     
      case,
      the
      student
      newspaper.
      How-
     
     
      ever,
      our
      Office
      has
      received
      only
      a
     
     
      handful
      of
      complaints,
      which
      are
      all
     
     
      from
      parents
      and
      professors.
      Not
      one
     
     
      single
      student
      had
      made
      a
      complaint
     
     
      to
      this
      office
      as
      of
      press
      time
      this
     
     
      week.
      By
      the
      time
      individuals
      have
     
     
      reached
      university,
      they
      should
      be
     
     
      capable
      of
      deciding
      what
      material
      is
     
     
      suitable
      for
      them.
      While
      our
      paper
      is
     
     
      available
      to
      the
      general
      public,
      our
     
     
      target
      audience
      is
      the
      students
      of
      this
     
     
      community.
      It
      is
      to
      those
      students
      we
     
     
      are
      responsible.
     
    

    
     
      We
      at
      the
      Panther
      Prints
      stind
     
     
      firm
      behind
      what
      was
      printed
      in
      the
     
     
      February
      13
      issue.
      The
      sexuality
     
     
      supplement
      contained
      information
     
     
      which
      we
      felt
      to
      be
      educational,
     
     
      informative,
      and
      interesting
      to
      stu-
     
     
      dents.
      One
      supposedly
      controversial
     
     
      aspect
      of
      the
      supplement
      was
      the
     
     
      Co
     
    
   
   
    
     
        
     
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      This
      quiz
      was
      simply
      meant
      as
      an
     
     
      entertaining
      piece
      --
      a
      contrast
      to
     
     
      some
      of
      the
      serious
      issues
      contained
     
     
      within
      the
      supplement.
      One
      com-
     
     
      plaint
      was
      from
      a
      parent
      who
      stated
     
     
      that
      she
      would
      not
      allow
      her
      child
      to
     
     
      attend
      UPEI
      because
      of
      the
      material
     
     
      we
      printed.
      People
      with
      this
      view
     
     
      should
      skim
      other
      student
      publica-
     
     
      tions
      across
      the
      country;
      they
      would
     
    
   
   
    
     
      quickly
      find
      that
      our
      supplement
      was
      |
     
    
   
   
    
     
      mild
      in
      comparison.
     
     
      Yes,
      our
      supplement
      may
      have
     
    
   
   
    
     
      offended
      some
      people.
      To
      be
      honest,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      would
      rather
      offend
      the
      campus
     
     
      than
      have
      the
      paper
      be
      blandly
      read
     
     
      and
      thrown
      at
      the
      bottom
      of
      a
      bird-
     
     
      cage.
      One
      of
      the
      goals
      of
      any
      student
     
     
      publication
      is
      to
      stimulate
      discus-
     
     
      sion.
      At
      least
      people
      are
      finally
     
     
      discussing
      the
      Panther
      Prints,
      and
     
     
      what
      material
      we
      should
      be
      printing.
     
     
      So,
      what
      should
      readers
      be
      doing?
     
     
      Number
      one:
      call
      us
      to
      complain
      and
     
     
      offer
      some
      constructive
      criticism.
     
     
      Tell
      us
      what
      you
      did
      not
      like
      and
     
     
      why.
      We
      can
      then
      decide
      on
      publi-
     
     
      cation
      policies.
      Number
      two:
      tell
      us
     
     
      what
      you
      do
      want
      to
      see
      in
      the
      paper.
     
     
      Better
      yet,
      write
      something
      for
      us.
     
     
      Only
      with
      this
      kind
      of
      input
      can
      we
     
     
      become
      the
      paper
      you
      want
      to
      read.
     
     
      Any
      member
      of
      the
      university
      com-
     
     
      munity
      can
      submit
      to
      the
      paper.
     
     
      Finally,
      when
      you
      have
      some-
     
     
      thing
      to
      say
      about
      the
      student
      news-
     
     
      paper
      please
      call
      us,
      not
      the
      adminis-

      or
      the
      student
      union.
      Neither

      the
      content
      of
      the
      paper,
      and
      it
      is
     
     
      only
      through
      constructive
      criticism
