Dear
      Editor:
     
     
      In
      reference
      to
      the
      Maclean’s
      ranking:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Iam
      sure
      that
      the
      Maclean’s
      staff
      were
      gathering
      this
      informa-
     
     
      tion
      to
      show
      Canadians
      where
      our
      problems
      lie
      in
      our
      education.
     
     
      Iamalso
      sure
      they
      should
      have
      more
      thoroughly
      researched
      the
     
     
      ranking
      before
      printing
      this.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      It
      almost
      seems
      that
      they
      slander
      the
      smaller
      universities
      in
     
     
      sucha
      way
      that
      ‘‘Students
      who
      are
      unusually
      bright
      can
      go
      to
      the
     
     
      ‘bestschools.’’
      That’s
      alot
      of
      bullshit.
      Some
      of
      these
      brilliant
     
     
      students
      go
      through
      the
      large,
      crowded
      (three
      to
      four
      hundred
     
     
      students)
      classes,
      drinking
      and
      partying,
      and
      when
      they
      gradu-
     
     
      ate,
      they
      come
      outas
      cold,
      half-uncaring
      robots,
      sent
      through
     
     
      the
      best
      system
      to
      make
      money.
      You
      don’t
      have
      to
      have
      a
      95%
     
     
      average
      to
      be
      smart
      and
      wise.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      WeatU.P.E.I.
      should
      not
      listen
      to
      Maclean’s
      for
      the
      sole
      reason
     
     
      that
      they
      all
      don’t
      have
      too
      much
      concern
      about
      what
      damage
     
     
      they
      do
      to
      a
      learning
      environment.
      Are
      we
      to
      believe
      that
      we
     
     
      are
      ‘‘dumb’’
      because
      we
      have
      a
      small
      budget,
      small
      campus
      and
     
     
      aless
      than
      average
      amount
      of
      PhD
      professors
      on
      staff?
      No.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      We
      have
      a
      unique
      atmosphere
      here.
      We
      can
      talk
      with
      professors
     
     
      one-on-one
      because
      of
      our
      homey
      atmosphere
      and
      friendly
     
     
      attitude
      to
      our
      world,
      its
      problems
      and
      have
      caring
      answers
      to
     
     
      the
      world’s
      situations.
      Cheer
      up
      U.P.E.L.,
      they
      are
      just
      crazy.

      A
      Response
      to
      Jack
      D.
      Proud’s
      Take
      a
      Chance,
      Imaginations:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      No,
      Jack,
      Ican’t
      blame
      you
      for
      not
      telling
      anyone
      ‘cause
      I
      too
     
     
      suffer
      from
      your
      affliction
      which
      I
      choose
      to
      call
      ‘‘fear
      of
     
     
      rejection’’.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Fear
      of
      being
      rejected
      is
      one
      hard
      thing
      to
      overcome,
      especially
     
     
      being
      a
      male,
      I’m
      sure,
      but
      luckily
      I’m
      a
      woman
      so
      I
      don’t
      have
     
     
      to
      worry
      about
      it
      as
      much
      since
      I
      don’t
      ever
      make
      the
      first
      move,
     
     
      as
      a
      rule.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      However,
      I
      did
      once
      in
      the
      form
      of
      a
      letter
      and
      the
      damn
      thing
     
     
      ended
      up
      coming
      back
      to
      me
      but
      before
      it
      did,
      the
      guy
      asked
      me
     
     
      -
      out,
      anyway.
      It
      certainly
      was
      a
      strange
      coincidence,
      but
      what
     
     
      can
      I
      say?
      Atleast
      I
      tried.
      Unfortunately,
      he
      and
      I
      were
      not
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      ready
      for
      each
      other,
      not
      then,
      anyway.
      I’m
      holding
      onto
      the
     
     
      hope
      that
      we
      will
      give
      ourselves
      another
      try.
      I
      keep
      wanting
      to
     
     
      tell
      him
      how
      I
      feel,
      but
      like
      you,
      I’m
      scared
      --
      scared
      that
      he
      will
     
     
      kill
      our
      love
      for
      good.
      So
      what
      does
      a
      person
      do?
      Does
      he
      (or
     
     
      she)
      go
      for
      it
      or
      always
      wonder
      if
      ‘‘it’’
      could
      have
      been.
      By
      the
     
     
      way,
      Jack,
