      mayo,
      no
      mustard,
      and
     
     
      not
      worth
      the
      $2.64

      I

      Food
      Services,
      I
      realize,
      is
      a
      business,
      but
      it
      can
      not
     
     
      be
      compared
      to
      a
      restaurant!
      Students
      can’t
      afford
     
     
      to
      go
      out
      to
      eat
      every
      day,
      thus
      a
      cafeteria
      should
     
     
      be
      accommodating
      to
      our
      needs.
      Unfortunately,
     
     
      UPEI’s
      doesn’t
      even
      come
      close.
      The
      product
      is
     
     
      cheaply
      and
      sparingly
      made,
      and
      highly
      over-priced
     
     
      (even
      after
      production
      and
      salaries).
      Talk
      about
     
     
      making
      a
      profit
      off
      students!!

      pardon
     
     
      the
      pun,
      but
      our
      complaints.
      keep

      Marriot,
      please
      take
      a
      look

      make

      are
      your
      only
     
     
      customers

      Dear
      Editor:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      In
      response
      to
      "National
      Campus
      News”
      re:
      the
     
     
      article
      about
      University
      of
      British
      Columbia’s
     
     
      student
      council
      president
      Kurt
      Preinsperg’s
     
     
      reprimand
      for
      his
      article
      offering
      tips
      on
      picking
      up
     
     
      women.
      From
      what
      I
      ascertained,
      Mr.
      Preinsperg
     
     
      probably
      merited
      this
      reprimand.
      It
      is
      difficult
      for
     
     
      me
      to
      Say
      this
      as
      his
      article
      was
      not
      printed
      in
      full
      -
     
     
      and
      it
      may
      be
      just
      as
      well
      (that
      it
      wasn’t),
      but
      he
     
     
      did
      portray
      both
      women
      and
      men
      in
      ill
      lights
      and
     
     
      that’s
      not
      fair.
      At
      least
      he
      suggested
      taking
      "no"
      as
     
     
      meaning
      "no”
      and
      accepting
      that
      as
      an
      answer.
      He
     
     
      did
      not
      suggest
      "kicking
      her
      teeth
      in"
      or
      "binding
     
     
      her
      and
      having
      your
      way,
      anyway"
      (reference
      to
     
     
      posters
      seen
      on
      University
      of
      Toronto
      campus).
      My
     
     
      point
      here,
      is
      that
      he
      may
      have
      been
      more
      tactful
     
     
      (and
      sympathetic)
      that
      he
      has
      been
      given
      credit
      for.
     
     
      He
      did,
      however,
      do
      some
      damage
      by
      portraying
     
     
      worien
      as
      "playthings"
      and
      men
      as
      "players".
      Women
     
     
      are
      NOT
      playthings
      and
      men
      are
      NOT
      players
      (nor
     
     
      are
      they
      playthings).
      His
      suggestion
      is
      insulting
      to
     
     
      all
      of
      us.

      Goodbye
      to
      the
      old,
      hello
      and
      welcome
      to

      UPEI’s
      student
      newspaper.
      This
      year,
      for
      the
      first
     
     
      time
      since
      my
      enrolment
      at
      UPEI
      (four
      years
      ago)
     
     
      I
      can
      show
      the

      friends
      from
     
     
      other
      universities
      WITH
      PRIDE.
      I
      know
      that
      I
     
     
      should
      not
      complain
      about
      anything
      that
      I
      did
     
     
      nothing
      to
      try
      to
      improve,
      but
      my
      purpose
      is
      not
      so
     
     
      much
      to
      knock
      previous
      publications,
      as
      to
      praise
     
     
      this
      year’s
      work.
      ;
     
    
   
   
    
     
      It’s
      nice
      to
      read
      about
      things
      that
      pertain
      to
      us
      as
     
     
      UPEI
      students.
      Although
      it’s
      also
      nice
      to
      know
     
     
      what’s
      happening
      at
      other
      universities,
      last
      year’s
     
     
      publication
      seemed
      to
      be

      the
      opportunity
      to
      read
      this,

      not
      at
      the
      expense
     
     
      of
      local
      content.
