charged?
      Have
      they
      found
      any
      suspects
      even?
      And,
      lastly,
     
     
      didn’t
      they
      break
      this
      annual
      house
      function
      up
      after
      the
     
     
      alleged
      assault
      was
      reported
      and
      send
      people
      on
      their
      merry
     
     
      way?
      I
      hesitate
      to
      call
      that
      excellent!
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Surely
      you
      must
      be
      over-reaching
      when
      you
      say
      everyone
     
     
      thinks
      all
      of
      you
      at
      Marion
      Hall
      are
      the
      culprits,
      although,
      I
     
     
      must
      say,
      if
      people
      are
      thinking
      in
      that
      mode,
      I
      suspect
      it
      is
     
     
      because
      of
      the
      amazing
      fact
      that
      ‘‘no
      one’’
      knows
      anything!
     
    

    
     
      I
      sincerely
      hope
      that
      no
      one
      is
      holding
      back
      any
      information
     
     
      at
      all
      for
      any
      reason,
      because
      whoever
      took
      part
      in
      this
      crime
     
     
      needs
      help.
      He
      or
      they
      need
      to
      be
      punished,
      and
      he
      or
      they
     
     
      need
      therapy
      --
      don’t
      you
      think?
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Sure,
      you
      state
      that
      everyone
      at
      Marion
      Hall
      was
      not
      in-
     
     
      volved
      and
      had
      ‘‘no
      part
      whatsoever.’’
      Well,
      unless
      you,
      at
     
     
      Marion
      Hall,
      know
      who
      did
      this,
      there
      is
      absolutely
      no
      way
     
     
      you
      can
      say
      that!
      I
      suspect
      that
      most
      of
      you,
      if
      not
      all
      are
      as
     
     
      upset
      as
      the
      rest
      of
      the
      campus,
      but
      the
      fact
      is
      that
      the
     
     
      ‘‘alleged’’
      rape
      took
      place
      in
      our
      home,
      so,
      indirectly,
     
     
      everyone
      will
      blame
      you
      people
      or
      your
      house
      until
      the
      real
     
     
      ‘*bad
      guys’’
      are
      found
      --
      which
      may
      be
      never.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      In
      that
      case,
      however,
      people
      will
      forget
      and
      other
      things
     
     
      will
      go
      on,
      including
      your
      annual
      house
      function.
      Everything
     
     
      will
      carry
      on
      the
      same
      except
      for
      the
      victim
      who
      will
      never
     
     
      forget.
      Sad
      but
      true.

      Dear
      Editor:
     
     
      Re:
      Impeachment
      of
      Tracey
      Arsenault
     
    
   
   
    
     
      In
      order
      to
      get
      off
      on
      the
      right
      foot,
      I
      want
      you
      to
      know
      that
      I
     
     
      don’t
      know
      Tracey
      Arsenault
      and
      I
      didn’t
      vote
      for
      her.
      In
     
     
      fact,
      prior
      to
      the
      public
      forum,
      I
      had
      never
      seen
      her
      before.
     
     
      People
      in
      our
      university
      are
      in
      a
      state
      of
      shock
      and
      they
      are
     
     
      tightfully
      angry
      at
      the
      way
      the
      sexual
      assault
      incident
      has
     
     
      been
      handled.
      However,
      I
      heard
      the
      President
      of
      the
      univer-
     
     
      Sity
      publicly
      apologize
      to
      Ms.
      Arsenault,
      because
      he
      did
      not
     
     
      inform
      her
      of
      the
      incident
      until
      sometime
      afterward.
      I
      then
     
     
      heard
      Ms.
      Arsenault
      state
      publicly
      that
      she
      used
      what
      she
     
     
      thought
      was
      good
      judgement
      when
      she
      withheld
      her
      formal
     
     
      Statement
      until
      the
      afternoon
      of
      September
      30.
      She
      also
     
     
      apologized
      to
      those
      of
      us
      who
      felt
      she
      should
      have
      handled
     
     
      things
      differently.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      My
      feeling
      on
      this
      matter
      is
      that
      Ms.
      Arsenault
      probably
      did
     
     
      what
      she
      thought
      best
      and,
      considering
      the
      precarious
      situa-
     
     
      tion
      the
      administration
      put
      her
      in,
      whatever
      decision
      she
     
     
      make
      would
      have
      been
      difficult
      and
      perceived
      by
      some
      as
     
     
      wrong.
      If
      her
      delay
      was,
      as
      she
      said,
      to
      gather
      as
      much
     
     
      'nformation
      as
      possible,
      then
      I
      applaud
      her
      delay.
      By
      that
     
     
      time
      enough
      rumour
      and
      heresay
      had
      been
      circulated
      around
     
     
      the
      university
      to
      warn
      everyone
      that
      the
      incident
      had
      taken
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Place.
      What
      we
      didn’t
      need
      was
      more
      inaccurate
      informa-
     
     
      tion,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      don’t
      believe
      it
      would
      be
      fair
      to
      anyone
      if
      Ms.
      Arsenault
     
     
      were
      to
      be
      impeached.
      If
      she
      is
      not
      equipped
      to
      do
      the
      job
     
     
      she
      was
      elected
      to
      do,
      it
      will
      be
      evident
      in
      the
      way
      she
     
     
      proceeds
      with
      the
      important
      matters
      which
      have
      been
     
     
      brought
      to
      light
      by
      this
      incident.
      If
      she
      is
      capable,
      who
     
     
      could
      possibly
      have
      more
      drive
      and
      motivation
      to
      push
      the
     
     
      administration
      to
      deal
      with
      the
      seriousness
      of
      an
      unsafe
     
     
      campus?
     
    
   
   
    
     
      In
      any
      event,
      what
      our
      student
      body
      needs
      now
      is
      to
      pull
     
     
      together
      and
      begin
      to
      take
      action
      to
      make
      our
      campus
      a
      safer
     
     
      place
      and,
      in
      so
      doing,
      begin
      to
      address
      the
      larger
      issue
      of
     
     
      violence
      against
      women
      and
      children.
      Serving
      Ms.
     
     
      Arsenault
      up
      as
      a
      sacrificial
      lamb
      will
      do
      little
      more
      than
     
     
      weaken
      the
      Student
      Union’s
      direct
      influence
      on
      the
      adminis-
     
     
      tration.
      Let
      her,
      no,
      make
      her
      prove
      herself
      worthy
      of
      the
     
     
      position
      to
      which
      she
      was
      elected.
