      Dear
      Editor:
     
    

    
     
      I
      am
      fed
      up
      with
      the
      ‘‘Fed-Up
      Women’’.
      If
     
     
      these
      women
      are
      concerned
      enough
      to
      lodge
     
     
      these
      complaints
      against
      UPEI,
      they
      should
      be
     
     
      adult
      enough
      to
      sign
      their
      names.
     
    

    
     
      There
      are
      several
      things
      in
      this
      column
      I
     
     
      would
      like
      to
      mention.
      First
      ofall,
      tuition
      only
     
     
      pays
      25%
      of
      the
      cost
      of
      running
      the
      university,
     
     
      and
      professors’
      salaries
      have
      little
      to
      do
      with
     
     
      tuition
      costs.
      So
      I
      don’t
      think
      we
      are
      paying
      the
     
     
      professors.
      Secondly,
      in
      reference
      to
      the
      state-
     
    
   
   
    
     
      ment
      ‘‘why
      doesn’t
      the
      professor
      ever
      tell
      us
     
     
      where
      we
      are
      in
      [the
      book]’’,
      why
      are
      you
     
    
   
   
    
     
      unable
      to
      look
      up
      references
      to
      class
      material
      in
     
     
      the
      book
      yourself?
      If
      you
      are
      paying
      $150
      for
     
     
      books
      (your
      figure
      of
      $400
      minus
      $249
      for
     
     
      tuition),
      these
      books
      must
      have
      tables
      of
      con-
     
     
      tents.
      Thirdly,
      in
      reference
      to
      the
      whining
      tone
     
     
      ‘of
      the
      entire
      piece,
      who
      do
      you
      think
      you
      are
      to
     
     
      decide
      that
      the
      profs
      ‘‘think
      they
      know
      more
     
     
      than
      the
      text’’?
     
    

    
     
      There
      are
      some
      valid
      points
      said
      in
      this
     
     
      piece,
      namely
      that
      a
      university
      education
      is
      too
     
     
      expensive
      for
      many
      people,
      there
      are
      some
     
     
      good
      profs,
      and
      a
      prof
      who
      could
      be
      thought
      of
     
     
      as
      a
      mentor
      would
      be
      an
      interesting
      idea.
      My
     
     
      point
      in
      all
      this
      is
      to
      say
      that
      the
      university
      is
     
     
      overcrowded
      and
      under-equipped.
      If
      the
      Fed-
     
     
      Up
      Womenare
      having
      this
      many
      problems
      with
     
     
      the
      system,
      maybe
      they
      should
      take
      some
      time
     
     
      off
      and
      open
      the
      system
      up
      to
      more
      mature
     
     
      students.

      The
      so-called
      ‘‘bridge
      to
      Hell’’
      you
      refer
      to
      in
     
     
      last
      week’s
      X-Press
      just
      so
      happens
      to
      be
      the
     
     
      path
      to
      a
      brighter
      future.
      As
      to
      this
      mystic
     
     
      “Island
      way
      of
      life’’,
      I
      say
      wake
      up
      and
      smell
     
     
      the
      coffee!
      If
      this
      ‘‘Island
      way’’
      means
      a
     
     
      chronic
      20%

      rate,
      thanks
      but
      no
     
     
      thanks!!!
      I’ve
      had
      it
      with
      editorials
      like
      last
     
     
      week’s
      and
      people
      who
      think
      they
      have
      all
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      knowledge
      on
      the
      link.
      This
      thing
      has
      been.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      studied
      to
      death,
      and
      I
      say:
      build
      it!!
     
    

    
     
      These
      so-called
      ‘‘Friends
      of
      the
      Island’’
      are
     
     
      NO
      friends
      as
      far
      as
      I’m
      concerned.
      If
      they
      want
     
     
      to
      live
      in
      isolation
      with
      their
      backward
      mystical
     
     
      idea
      that
      the
      world
      ceases
      to
      exist
      beyond
      pure,
     
     
      clean
      PEI,
      fine.
      But
      why
      should
      they
      dictate
