      lottetown’s
      nightlife,
      despite
      recent
      allegations
     
    

    
     
      to
      the
      contrary,
      says
      UPEI
      SU
      president,
      Justin
     
     
      Douglas.
     
    

    
     
      Douglas
      was
      responding
      to
      two
      recent
      letters
      to
      the
     
     
      editor
      from
      a
      patron
      and
      a
      former
      staff
      member
      who
     
     
      say
      The
      Wave’s
      security
      is
      aggressive
      and
      play
      by
      its
     
     
      own
      rules.
     
    

    
     
      So
      far
      this
      academic
      school
      year,
      that
      has
      not
      been
     
     
      the
      case,
      Douglas
      assured.
     
    

    
     
      “I
      can’t
      speak
      for
      what
      happened
      in
      the
      past,
      but
      I
     
     
      can
      tell
      you
      that
      this
      year
      our
      staff
      has
      been
      excellent
     
     
      at
      maintaining
      and
      upholding
      the
      rules.”
     
    

    
     
      The
      Panther
      Post
      tracked
      down
      the
      author
      of
      a
      letter
     
     
      entitled
      “The
      Wave
      is
      just
      a
      group
      on
      friends”
      in
      the
     
     
      Feb.
      16
      issue.
     
    

    
     
      Jason
      MacDonald,
      a
      first
      year
      education
      student,
      said
     
     
      he
      was
      the
      head
      of
      The
      Wave’s
      security
      in
      2006-2007,
     
     
      a
      position
      he
      was
      offered
      after
      working
      a
      semester
      as
     
     
      a
      doorman.
     
    

    
     
      He
      said
      while
      in
      this
      position,
      he
      was
      very
      diligent
      to
     
     
      obey
      all
      rules
      put
      in
      place
      by
      the
      P.E.I.
      Liquor
      Control
     
     
      Commission
      (PEILCCC.)
      He
      said
      his
      strictness
      was
     
     
      something
      his
      co-workers
      didn’t
      respect.
     
    

    
     
      “They
      started
      noticing
      I
      wasn’t
      hiring
      their
      friends,
      I
     
     
      wouldn’t
      let
      them
      get
      drunk
      on
      the
      job,
      I
      wouldn’t
      let
     
     
      their
      underage
      friends
      in
      and
      I
      didn’t
      favour
      members
     
     
      of
      sports
      teams.”
     
    

    
     
      MacDonald
      claims
      the
      problem
      is
      that
      staff
      members
     
     
      generally
      form
      a
      clique,
      and
      often
      colluded
      to
      over-
     
     
      ride
      his
      decisions.
