     .During the academic year 
     
     ‘Of 1970—71 the issue of 
     
     liquor licensing at U.P.E. 
     
     I. was raised and, subseh' 
     
     quently suppressed by 
     
     the Liberal govern- _ 
     
     ment and Island citizen- 
     
     ry. It was thought at 
     
     the time that a liquor 
     
     licence would create ha- 
     
     voc on campus and 
     
     inevitably result in ’ 
     
     poor academic perform- 
     
     ance by the student: 
     
     furthermore, a law 
     
     currently in effect 
     
     prohibts any liquor outlet, 
     
     on or adjacent to any 
     
     educational institution. 
     
    

    
     Despite this however, 
     
     the Student Union did 
     
     suceed in obtaining a 
     
     licence for the weekly 
     
     Pig 'n Whistle. 
     
    

    
     The arguments put forth 
     
     by the government and 
     
     populace designed to 
     
     suppress this have not 
     
     held true, since no 
     
     student has forfieted 
     
     academically by the 
     
     presence of the Pig 
     
     'n Whistle on campus 
     
     certainly no more 
     
     than by the presence of 
     
     Gentleman Jim close by. 
     
    

    
     There are serious objec 
     
     tions to be raised re- 
     
     garding this attitude 
     
     on the part of the 
     
     government and populace. 
     
    

    
     Firstly: to legislate 
     
     on behalf of the student 
     
     without his consent is 
     
     to consider him irre- 
     
     sponsible and unable 
     
     to comport himself to 
     
     his own advantage, 
     
     thus perpetuating 
     
     those who may, in fact, 
     
     be irresponsible. It 
     
     is to undermine the 
     
     student's confidence in 
     
     himself — not only in 
     
     his ability to drink 
     
     moderately - but also 
     
     in all areas of his 
     
     life. The paternal- 
     
    

    
     _/istic attitude is by no 
     
     means conducive to 
     
    
   
   
    
     positive conduct and 
     
     attitude: thus the , 
     
     government and pop- 
     
    
   
   
    
         
     
    
   
   
    
     91 WI: > H 
     
     .25 only at» 
     
    
   
   
    
     ulace undermine their 
     
     own aSPirations for the 
     
     eventual outcome of those 
     
     they seem so concerned to 
     
     assist. Otherwise put: 
     
    
   
   
    
     their attitude is'contrae' 
     
    
   
   
    
     dictory. 
     
    

    
     Secondly: in lieu of 
     
     the above it becomes 
     
     obvious the existing laws 
     
     concerning liquor and 
     
     U.P.E.I. is no longer 
     
     practical. That is to say 
     
     the law no longer serves 
     
     our best interests. Now 
     
     this is precisely the 
     
     function of law. By means 
     
     of law we command our— 
     
     selves. To put it other- 
     
     wise: the law contradicts 
     
     itself. 
     
    

    
     Thirdly: A permanent 
     
    
   
   
    
     licence would enable they 
     
    
   
   
    
     Student Union to operate 
     
     a club (or bar) regularly 
     
     for six days per week. 
     
     Advantages: spirits 
     
     could be obtained at 
     
     minimum cost to the 
     
     student: the proceeds 
     
     could significantly 
     
     enhance Student Union 
     
     Treasury and thus enable 
     
     the Student Union to 
     
     create programs and bene- 
     
     fits which are otherwise 
     
     not possible due to 
     
     limited funds: the ktter 
     
     advantage would give the 
     
     student something more 
     
     than the spirits he con- 
     
     sumes. Otherwise stated: 
     
     he could benefit twice 
     
     from the same trans— 
     
     action. To‘make it clear: 
     
     not only does he receive 
     
     spirits from his origin- 
     
     al purpose (not to 
     
     mention the sociable 
     
     atmosphere in which he 
     
     may participate) but' 
     
    
   
   
    
     ; also contributes to his 
     
    
   
   
    
     Student Union so as to 
     
     have programs, etc., 
     
     which may benefit him. 
     
     Positive action to 
     
     obtain a permanent 
     
     licence rests with the 
     
     students themselves: so 
     
     the Student Union can 
     
     act on your behalf, 
     
     would you write or, 
     
     what is better, go in

     those who represent you. _\ 
     
     By all.means use the “ 
     
    
   
   
    
     "Cadre" as a medium of 
     
     expression if you wish. 
     
     However, the more re- 
     
     sponse we get the better 
     
     able.are we to decide 
     
     'which way to represent
