      the

      Apparently,
      the
      campus
      walls
      were
      starting
      to
      looka
     
     
      bit
      cluttered
      and
      were
      being
      damaged
      by
      the
      posters.
     
     
      Tape
      was
      sticking
      to
      the
      paint
      and
      pealing
      it
      off
      the
     
     
      walls.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Maintenance
      took
      down
      the
      posters
      and
      put
      them
     
     
      away.
      Owners
      were
      advised
      to
      talk
      to
      maintenance
      in
     
     
      each
      of
      the
      buildings
      to
      retrieve
      them.
      Next
      year,
     
     
      candidates
      will
      be
      advised
      that
      if
      their
      posters
      are
      not
     
     
      on

      discussion
      on
      racism
      in

      All
      of
      the
      panellists
      gave
      a
      description
      of
      what
      racisn
     
     
      means
      to
      them,
      and
      a
      bit
      of
      their
      history
      regarding
      —
     
     
      discrimination.
      After
      the
      initial
      speeches,
      the
      floor
     
     
      was
      opened
      to
      questions
      and
      comments.
      Some
      of
      the
     
     
      topics
      discussed
      were
      current
      education
      policies,
      :
     
     
      Affirmative
      Action,
      and

      small
      numberof
      visible
     
     
      minorities
      on
      P.E.I.,
      especially
      in
      the
      schools.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      goal
      of
      the
      panel
      was
      to
      promote
      awareness
      and
     
     
      further
      discussion.
      It
      is
      hoped
      that
      this
      discussion
      ©
     
     
      and
      awareness
      will
      help
      put
      an
      end
      to
      racism.
