     Dear Editor: . T 
     
     In reference to the UPEI- 
     
    
   
   
    
     SU Elections held" on March, 
     
    
   
   
    
     13th and 14th, I feel it is 
     
     my responsibility as Chief 
     
     Electoral Officer to clarify 
     
     v the duties of my position. 
     
    

    
     It is my responsibility to 
     
     follow Nomination ‘ and 
     
     Election Procedures as out- 
     
     lined in the UPEISU Con- 
     
     stitution, Article 16. In the 
     
     event that. any issue is not 
     
     stated in this article, it is then 
     
     my duty to make a decision 
     
    
   
   
    
     on my own to the best of my 
     
    
   
   
    
     ability. . _ 
     
     _ I would also like to bring 
     
    

    
     to attention the issueof the 
     
     disqualification of one of the 
     
     candidates, Kevin O’Brien, in 
     
     the said election. On Wed- 
     
     nesday, March 13th aformal 
     
     complaint was made tome by 
     
    
   
   
    
     a member of the Student, 
     
    
   
   
    
     union that a campaign poster 
     
     of his had been seen in the 
     
     cafeteria. I went ' to the 
     
     cafeteria and removed (the 
     
     poster. .. 
     
     I then informed-the candi- 
     
     date in question ‘ that the 
     
     poster had been found and 
     
     removed and that he was 
     
     ' officially disqualified. Article 
     
     16, section D, subsection 15 
     
     states, “All election posters 
     
     and .propoganda must be 
     
     removed and cease the night 
     
     (1,1:55 p.m.) before. the 
     
    
   
   
    
         
     
               
     
    
   
   
    
     March 29,1985.

     0n the same day, I was 
     
     'issued another formal com- 
     
     plaint that the same candi- 
     
     date was not an active 
     
     membr of the UPEISU, as he 
     
     was not a full-time student. 
     
     Article 16, section A, sub- 
     
     section 1 states, “Candidates 
     
     for office must be active 
     
     members of , the UPEISU.” 
     
    

    
     The issue was raised about 
     
     disqualification procedures. 
     
     There are no formal dis,- 
     
     qualification procedures out- 
     
     lined in the constitution, but 
     
     on the nomination form each 
     
     candidate signs it is stated 
     
     that, “... failure to abide by 
     
     every rule will result in im- 
     
     mediate disqualification.’ ’ 
     
    

    
     Upon opening the poll on 
     
     Thursday morning, the posi- 
     
     tion cf Vice-President Aca- 
     
     demic was removed from the 
     
     ballot. ~ 
     
    

    
     At this time I would like to 
     
     say to Kevin that I am sorry 
     
     for all that took place and 
     
     deeply regret what I had to 
     
     do. I know now that you do 
     
     understand and for that I 
     
     thank you. 
     
     I ' on Thursday when the 
     
     polls closed, I made ‘ the 
     
     announcement that I was de- 
     
    
   
   
    
     laying the counting of ballots. . 
     
    
   
   
    
     My reason for doing this” was 
     
     because I had been informed 
     
     that a petition was circulating

     to invalidate the election. I 
     
     delayed the counting of bal- 
     
     lots to find out if this peti- 
     
     tion was real and if in fact 
     
     the election was invalid. I did 
     
     not feel that it would be fair 
     
     to count ballots and announce 
     
     winners, only to have to call a 
     
     re—election later on. 
     
    

    
     I cannot help but feel that 
     
     I am somewhat to blame for 
     
     all that took place. I went 
     
     into the election not fully 
     
    
   
   
    
     understanding my position 
     
     and this may have been the 
     
     reason for much of what 
     
     happened. 
     
    

    
     In making my decision I“ 
     
     tried to take everyone’s views 
     
     into consideration and tried 
     
     to meet everyone halfway. I 
     
    
   
   
    
     ’ have discovered that this can- 
     
     not always be done. I would 
     
    
   
   
    
     like it know that I did not 
     
     consciously side with anyone, 
     
     but did my best to keep an

     Dear Editor, 
     
    

    
     I would like to express 
     
     thanks, on behalf of the 
     
     WUSC-UPEI Local Com- 
     
     mittee, for the overwhelming 
     
     support given us by the stu- 
     
     dents in last week’s refe- 
     
     rendum. 
     
    

    
     The fact that almost 87% 
     
     of the people who voted sup- 
     
     ported the referendum is an 
     
     indication of the concern that 
     
     we have at UPEI for our 
     
     fellow man. 
     
    

    
     The funds raised by this 
     
     student donation are the basis 
     
     by which UPEI will support 
     
     a refugee. This money by 
     
     itself is net sufficient, and 
     
     will be augmented by funds 
     
     raised from within the com- 
     
     munity. ‘ 
     
    

    
     It is expected that the com- 
     
     munity will much more re- 
     
     sponsive to a fund-raising 
     
     drive given that the students 
     
     have contributed about $3500. 
     
     This drive will begin-as soon 
     
    
   
   
    
     Newspaper 
     
    
   
   
    
     as the logistics can be worked 
     
     out. 
     
    

    
     WUSC-UPEI is also con- 
     
     sidering the implementation 
     
     of several other prOgrams in 
     
     the next six months. We will 
     
    
   
   
    
     make - attempts to ensure 
     
    
   
   
    
     that the students are kept 
     
     informed. 
     
    

    
     Any students wishing to 
     
     become involved should 
     
     check the newspaper for 
     
     times and dates of meetings, 
     
     or check with any member of 
     
     the Local Committee. 
     
    

    
     Everyone is welcome and 
     
     we encourage all students, to 
     
     give us suggestions. . 
     
    

    
     I would also like to than 
     
     all those who gave freely of 
     
     their time to work on the 
     
     campaign. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Sincerely

     In spite of all that has 
     
    
   
   
    
     happened, the situation was 
     
     not all bad. This has de- 
     
     finitely beer. a learning ex- 
     
     perience for me in many 
     
     ways, as I am sure it has been 
     
     for others. 
     
    

    
     There are a lot of people 
     
     who I would like to thank 
     
     for their support and en- 
     
     couragement; it- was much 
     
     needed and greatly appre- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ciated. I will not mention 
     
     names here but I do hope 
     
     you know who you are. I will 
     
     try to thank you all person- 
     
     ally in the near future, if I 
     
     have not done so already. 
     
    

    
     In c105ing I would like to 
     
     thank everyone, especially 
     
     the candidates, for their 
     
    
   
   
    
     patience and understanding. 
     
     And to my deputies, who

     — thanks, girls.
