      As
      you
      may
      remember
      from
      last
      week’s
      paper,
      I
      wrote
      an
      article
      on
     
     
      what
      MacLean
      ’s
      magazine
      had
      to
      say
      about
      UPEI
      in
      its
      ranking
      of
      Canadian
     
     
      universities.
      I
      also
      mentioned
      a
      survey
      that
      would
      be
      made
      available
      to
      the
     
     
      students
      of
      UPEI
      on
      what
      they
      thought
      about
      their
      university.
     
    

    
     
      As
      promised,
      here
      is
      the
      survey.

      it

      says
      it
      is?
     
     
      Why

      will
      not
      remain
      here
      long?

      Keeping
      in
      mind
      some
      of
      the
      statistics
      from
      MacLean’s,
      do
      you
     
     
      think
      UPEI’s
      monetary
      resources
      are
      being
      used
      properly,
      i.e.
      student-
     
     
      oriented?
     
    

    
     
      18.
      What
      areas
      do
      you
      think
      need
      immediate
      attention
      and
      improve-
     
     
      ment?
     
    
   
   
    
     
      19.
      Do
      you
      approve
      of
      the
      formation
      of
      a
      committee
      of
      students,
     
     
      separte
      from
      the
      Student
      Union,
      who
      will
      research
      and
      make
      suggestions
     
     
      and
      push
      for
      results,
      on
      behalf
      of
      students,
      for
      the
      improvement
      of
      UPEI?

      you

      on
      the
      committee?
     
    

    
     
      20.
      Do
      you
      think
      your
      degree
      from
      UPEI
      will
      be
      worth
      the
      time
      and
     
     
      money
      spent
      here
      when
      it
      comes
      time
      to
      hunt
      in
      the
      job
      market?
