     Gordon is a Junior, Polit- 
     
     ical Science Major who "haSj 
     
     developed a sense of pride 
     
     during the first two years 
     
     at UPEI." Through participaé 
     
     tion in Winter Carnival and 
     
     Octoberfest he "has develo— 
     
     ped an interest in community

     First, all candidates det— 
     
     ermine that the problems are'. 
     
     apathy, financial incompet- 
     
     ency, poor communication, 
     
     insufficient use of campus 
     
     media (Cadre, CSUR), student- 
     
     faculty gap, gap between SU 
     
     executive and committee he- 
     
     ads. And they are right. 
     
     However, in identifying the 
     
     symptoms, they have neglec— 
     
     ted the disease —— Capital- 
     
     Furthermore, but con-i 
     
     sistent with their shallow 
     
     insight -- they all propose 
     
     immediate solutions to the' 
     
     ~immediate prOblems. Granted 
     
     they Can see_poor usage of 
     
     funds and propose to clamp 
     
     down on this; but they must 
     
    
   
   
    
     you are an engineer: this 
     
    
   
   
    
     chair COllld be yours. 
     
    
   
   
    
     This is where you could find yourself if you become a 
     
     Maritime Engineering Officer in today’s Canadian Armed 
     
     Forces. The Master Engineering Control centre of one of our 
     
    
   
   
    
     new DDH 280 Destroyers. 
     
    
   
   
    
     No boilers. No stokers. No sweat! 
     
    

    
     The power within these beautiful ships comes from jet 
     
     turbine engines. The machinery that heats, cools. ventilates 
     
     and provides water throughout these ships is the latest. 
     
    

    
     Maritime Engineering Officers on these ships work 
     
     with some of the most sophisticated equipment in the 
     
     world...with expertly trained men who are as proud of 
     
     their work as they are of their ships. 
     
    

    
     . If you're studying engineering. think about 
     
     this Officer's job. it's a very special one. It Could 
     
     take you anywhere in the world!

     -The current problem which 
     
     Gordon sees area a ath , 
     
     which_he claims is the res- 
     
     ult of poor.communication:\ 
     
     lack of participation: and 
     
     lack of cammunity spirit° 
     
    

    
     Gordon was uncertain as to 
     
     how he would deal with this 
     
     with the exception perhaps 
     
     of strengthening the Student 
     
     Union's financial status. 
     
    

    
     In the realm of the finan— 
     
     cial, the problems are, ac- 
     
     cording to Gordon: wasted 
     
     expenditure: e.g. Cadre is, 
     
     as he sees it, not a real 
     
     newspaper: if it were it wo- 
     
     uld, he cIaims, make money 
     
     rather than operate at a lo- 
     
     ss as he claims it doe§7 so-

     rdon wants to alleviate this 
     
    
   
   
    
     .misspending of Student Union 
     
    
   
   
    
     funds. He does not state 
     
     specifically what procedure 
     
     he will implement to strai- 
     
     ghten out these financial 
     
    
   
   
    
     Aproblems. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Other problems Gordon sees 
     
     are: lack of co-operation 
     
     between Student Services and 
     
     Student Union -- he intends 
     
     to solve this through encou- 
     
     raged co—operatiOn. Reassess- 
     
     ment of Student Loan Act so 
     
     students will not have to . 
     
     borrow $1400. to qualify for 
     
     bursary. ' t ,

     ittees should be free to sp—- 
     
     end their money as they th— 
     
     ink necessary, however, if 
     
     they run out of funds.they 
     
     are to receive no more and

     I Gordon 
     
     Campbell can easily identify 
     
     the problems (at the super- 
     
    
   
   
    
     :ficial level) but gives you 
     
    
   
   
    
     the impression that he has 
     
     no ability to deal with the 
     
     responsibilities these prob- 
     
     lems imply. He is incompet- 
     
     ent in argument, uncertain, 
     
     and too easily persuaded to 
     
     assume a firm stand on an i
