     Ps the reality of Symposium A 
     
    
   
   
    
     '79 draws near, we the 
     
     Students for Symposium '79, 
     
     feel thata moment should be 
     
     taken to reflect upon the 
     
     many events leading up to 
     
     the actual Symposium. 
     
    

    
     From the struggles en- 
     
     countered in the first 
     
     organizatimal meetings in 
     
     September to the hectic 
     
     preparations of press 
     
     ccnferences and ptblicity 
     
     campaigns to the laborious 
     
     and careful planning of the 
     
     Symposium itself, there 
     
     have been a great many 
     
     lessms learned. Not the 
     
     least of these has been 
     
     the cotprehension of the 
     
     importance of team work 
     
     and dedication to an idea. 
     
    

    
     Also unveiled during our 
     
     preparatims were the 
     
     subtle workings of the 
     
     politics involved with 
     
     such an endeavour. , 
     
    

    
     I From the outset of ’the 
     
     idea of a symposium at 
     
    

    
     UPEI there has been a great 
     
     deal of positive response 
     
     from all quarters of. the. 
     
     cormunity but there has \ 
     
     also beam a degree of‘ 
     
     hesitation from certain 
     
     quarters. Any friction 
     
     which might arise from 
     
     these differing views tends 
     
     to demonstrate an integral 
     
    
   
   
    
     FOR 
     
    
   
   
    
     part of the Symposium - 
     
     that of an open sharing of 
     
     ideas. It is this sharing 
     
     of ideas which marksour 
     
     success as students and .. 
     
     individuals. 
     
    

    
     The very fact that our 
     
     committee has been drawn 
     
     together from various 
     
     departments within the 
     
     university is indication 
     
     of the importance and need 
     
     for such a sharing of ' 
     
     perspectives. For it is 
     
     from these differing 
     
     perspectives that a com- 
     
     prehensive View is adiieved, 
     
     one that is representative 
     
     of the majority. 
     
    

    
     It is this type of inter- 
     
     dlange whidm has marked 
     
     the development of 
     
     direction for the planning 
     
     of Symposium '79 and which 
     
     will determine tl'e overall 
     
     success of: the exercise. 
     
    

    
     The success to date of 
     
     Symposium '79 rests with 
     
     those pecple of our 
     
     community (University and 
     
    
   
   
    
     other) who have pledged and 
     
    
   
   
    
     given support to the idea ‘ 
     
     from the beginning. Nearly 
     
     everyone who has been 
     
     approached has been more. 
     
     than happy to help in any 
     
     way requested, again  
     
     the exceptim of one or two. 
     
     We extend thanks to the 
     
     Administration, in part-
