     Mr.-Editor: 
     
    

    
     Might I ask you very serious- 
     
     ly if you read the letters 
     
     you print? I feel sure that 
     
     you do not really wish to 
     
     take responsibility for 
     
    

    
     a letter which accuses the 
     
     faculty in general of drunk— 
     
     em driving, depriving their 
     
     children, neglecting not 
     
     only their homes but their 
     
     classes. and of being reg— 
     
     ularly drunk and incapable. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     On first floor Dalton). In 
     
    
   
   
    
     the second instance, some 
     
     drivers have driven their 
     
    
   
   
    
     cars onto the lawn and,'es-.' 
     
    
   
   
    
     pecially in this wet weats 
     
     her, the lawn is easily 
     
     torn up. , . 
     
     This is of direct conCern 
     
     to Junior MacLeod and his 
     
     gmen who brought this to 
     
     the Cadre's attention. It 
     
     is not only their concern 
     
     however; it is the concern 
     
    
   
   
    
     of us all, since we are all / 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     Do you~realize that these 
     
     are grave charges, obvious— 
     
     ly without foundation? You 
     
     will agree that the Faculty 
     
     as a whole is tolerant and 
     
     can take a joke as well as 
     
     anyone, but we will not 
     
     stand for unsubstantiated 
     
     comment which reflects on 
     
     our moral or professional 
     
    
   
   
    
     standing. 
     
     Yours truly, 
     
    
   
   
    
     A.I.R. Galloway 
     
     President Faculty Club 
     
    
   
   
    
     I Mr. Galloway:— 
     
    
   
   
    
     Indeed I do read the letters 
     
     we print. In the Sharon Creg— 
     
     ier instance I consulted her 
     
    
   
   
    
     personally about the letter 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     affected in one way or an- 
     
     other - bdth personally 
     
     and financially. However, 
     
     the problem of property 
     
     damage at U.P.E.I. is by 
     
     no means new - we are all 
     
     familiar with it. The que- 
     
     stion most appropriate is: 
     
     Why? ' 
     
    

    
     First of all, the studen— 
     
     ts at U.P.E.I. do not feel 
     
     a part of this institution; 
     
     and with good reason. Like 
     
     capitalist institutions in 
     
     our society, U.P3E.I. is 
     
     set up as a company whose 
     
     cqmmodity is "education". 
     
     You buy a degree as you 
     
     buy a car lisence - (you 
     
     must give token proof of 
     
     competence; however, this 
     
     is quite easy to feign). 
     
     However the administration 
     
     is the Egg; deer which 
     
     remains coldly aloof from I 
     
     the student except in fine 
     
     ancial matters. Not only ' 
     
     is there little or no chaa 
     
     llenge to excell academic- 
     
     ally (which is not just 
     
     the fault of this institu- 
     
     tion, but of all the soci- 
     
     al institutions the stude— 
     
     nt has passed through), th~gy 
     
     ere is no senSe of respon- 
     
     sibility or comMittment to 
     
     what he could otherwise ta- 
     
     ke a personal interest in - 
     
     his educative institution. 
     
    

    
     University is for degreesg, 
     
     degrees are or ood jobs; 
     
     jobs are for aquisition of 
     
     wealth, prestige, status, 
     
     etc.. So why bother as aca—\ 
     
     demic: when it is not seen 
     
    
   
   
    
     ~as important? 
     
    
   
   
    
     Unless U.F.E.I. cpmmences‘ 
     
     reconstruction with an eye 
     
     to human growth and dzeve- 
     
     lopment instead of as a 
     
     mere degree factory, it 
     
     will continue with these 
     
     stupid problems which re- 
     
     veal themselves as sympt- 
     
     oms of a capitalist disea— 
     
     se!

     that has you So upset. 
     
     Unfortunately you interpnar 
     
     ed the letter literally — as 
     
     she feared some Would: her 
     
     real intention was to pre- 
     
     sent an allegorical sequel 
     
     to the compulsory exams'is¥ 
     
     sue which is, in her mind, 
     
    

    
     a ridiculous issue. The 
     
    
   
   
    
     point is: if we are going to, 
     
    
   
   
    
     get upset and paternalis— 
     
     tic about students applying 
     
     for a permanent liquor 
     
     liscense, we must'not pra- 
     
     ctise diScriminationgby,igh 
     
     noring that there are other 
     
     groups,on campus who con- 
     
     sume alcohol who ought to 
     
     be subject to the same 
     
     criticisms. ' 
     
    

    
     It is understood of course 
     
     that no professorial, exec-
