He
      continues
      to
      stand
      by
      this
      position.
      ‘‘I
      don’t
      regret
      in
      any
     
     
      way,
      Shape,
      or
      form
      the
      stance
      I
      took.’’
      Gallant
      said
      many
     
     
      students
      had
      come
      to
      him
      with
      complaints
      against
      Arsenault,
     
     
      and
      that
      he
      felt
      his
      loyalties
      should
      lie
      with
      them,
      his
      constitu-
     
     
      ents,
      instead
      of
      Arsenault.
      ‘‘I
      wanted
      to
      bring
      it
      to
      a
      referen-
     
     
      dum,”’
      he
      said,
      “‘because
      it
      was
      students
      who
      came
      to
      me
      first
     
     
      and
      it’s
      they
      who
      should
      have
      their
      say.
      She
      [Tracy]
      had
      done
     
     
      enough
      both
      internally
      and
      externally
      that
      there
      was
      no
      way
      she
     
     
      should
      be
      representing
      student
      any
      more.’’
      Gallant
      also
      ex-
     
     
      pressed
      a
      general
      dissatisfaction
      with
      what
      he
      regarded
      as
     
     
      Arsenault’s
      undiplomatic
      approach
      to
      relations
      within
      Student
     
     
      Union,
      similar
      to
      complaints
      raised
      by
      CIMN
      Manager
      Todd
     
     
      King,
      whose
      commentary
      in
      the
      X-Press
      prompted
      the
      final
     
     
      round
      of
      questioning
      and
      pressure
      that
      led
      to
      Arsenault’s
      resig-
     
     
      nation.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Gallant
      says
      that
      his
      decision
      to
      resign
      was
      not
      a
      cop-out
      during
     
     
      all
      the
      pressure
      on
      the
      S.U.
      Executive,
      nor
      was
      it
      a
      selfish
     
     
      decision.
      ‘*I
      didn’t
      have
      one
      personal
      reason
      for
      wanting
      Tracy
     
     
      out.
      It
      would
      have
      been
      very
      easy
      to
      stay
      in
      the
      office.
      I
      have
     
     
      to
      get
      a
      student
      loan
      mew
      because
      I
      no
      longer
      have
      ajob.
      Itjust
     
     
      wasn’t
      right
      to
      be
      there.’
      He
      says
      he
      was
      proud
      of
      the
      action
     
     
      Council
      took
      to
      pressure
      Arsenault
      to
      answer
      for
      her
      actions,
      and
     
     
      feels
      that
      she
      resigned
      because
      she
      could
      not
      answer
      the
      changes
     
     
      against
      her
      satisfactorily
      when
      she
      was
      grilled
      during
      the
      last
     
     
      Student
      Council
      Meeting.
      ‘‘I
      really
      believe
      that
      she
      should’ve
     
     
      resigned
      long
      before
      this,’’
      Gallant
      says.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      There
      have
      been
      rumours
      of
      Gallant
      seeking
      re-election
      to
      his
     
     
      Position
      with
      Arsenault’
      s
      departure,
      an
      option
      that
      Gallant
      says
     
     
      he
      is
      still
      considering
      since
      he
      felt
      there
      was
      still
      much
      he
     
     
      wanted
      to
      accomplish
      in
      his
      position.
      Whether
      he
      will
      be
      given
     
     
      that
      opportunity
      remains
      to
      be
      seen.

      at

      Is
      this
      message
      put
      into
      practice
      on
      this
     
     
      campus?
     
    
   
   
    
     
      At
      UPEI,
      certain
      events
      held
      at
      the
      Barn
      are
      described
      as
      ‘‘Wet/
     
     
      Dry’’.
      This
      means
      that
      people
      under
      the
      legal
      drinking
      age
      are

      there,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      To
      ensure
      compliance
      when
      they
      enter
      the
      Barn,
      the
      under-19s

      large
      ‘‘D’’
      stamped
      on
      the
      back
      of
      their
      hands
      (as
      opposed
     
     
      to
      a
      wine
      glass
      for
      the
      legal-age

      Drys

      half
      of

      floor
     
     
      where
      the
      bar
      is
      located.
      They
      are
      kept
      on
      one
      side
      of
      a

      that

      in
      two
      .
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Many
      students
      have
      found
      this
      practice
      alienating
      in
      the
      past,
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      especially
      if
      there
      is
      a
      low
      turnout
      of
      dry
      people.
      Just
      a
      few
     
     
      people
      standing
      in
      one
      half
      of
      a
      building
      who
      are
      required
      to
      call
     
     
      over
      anyone
      they
      want
      to
      talk
      to
      from
      the
      wet
      side
      can
      feel
     
     
      alienated
      pretty
      quickly.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      Barn
      is
      the
      only
      spot
      on
      PEI
      permitted
      to
      admit
      dry
      people
     
     
      under
      any
      conditions.
      There
      has
      beena
      reluctance
      in
      the
      past
      to
     
     
      hold
      wet/dry
      events,
      however,
      as
      the
      Student
      Union
      and
      some
     
     
      other
      groups
      say
      that
      wet
      people
      attend
      in
      lower
      numbers
      when
     
     
      dry
      people
      are
      there.
      No
      explanations
      for
      this
      apparent
      boycott
     
     
      are
      forthcoming.
      There
      is
      no
      financial
      incentive
      either
      way
      for
     
     
      groups
      to
      hold
      events
      that
      are
      wet-only
      or
      wet/dry,
      as
      funds
      are
     
     
      raised
      from
      the
      door
      admissions.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      This
      year,
      the
      number
      of
      wet/dry
      events
      that
      the
      Barn
      is
      required
     
     
      to
      hold
      (three)
      has
      already
      been
      surpassed,
      with
      a
      great
      deal
      of
     
     
      success.
      This
      was
      mostly
      a
      financial
      decision,
      based
      on
      the
     
     
      usually
      large
      number
      of
      frosh
      this
      year
      (around
      eight
      hundred).
     
     
      No
      one
      can
      afford
      to
      alienate
      such
      a
      large
      percentage
      of
      the
     
     
      Student
      Body.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Next
      Week:
      So
      what
      sort
      of
      message
      is
      actually
      going
      out?

      Frosh
      saying?
