     What is security? How does 
     
     it function? Why do we need 
     
     it at U.P.E.I.? These are 
     
     questions, the answers to 
     
     which is necessary for 
     
     harmonious, co-existence 
     
     with each other at U.P.E.I. 
     
     Jonior McLeod, director of 
     
    
   
   
    
     security, has a few answers 
     
    
   
   
    
     for us. .

     An interview With "JuniOr? 
     
     McLeod, Director of Security 
     
    
   
   
    
     Stan Dalton: "What is the 
     
     functions of the security 
     
     department?" ' 
     
     Junior McLeod: "we are not 
     
     here to please students. But 
     
     we are here to maintain law 
     
     and order. None, if students 
     
     who are no different than 
     
     anyone else, and are living 
     
     on our university and stay- 
     
     ing in our residences, must 
     
     live by the law like anyone 
     
     else. " 
     
     (JuniOr went on to describe 
     
     the various ways in which his 
     
     men carry but their duties.) 
     
     Parking patrol: Other un- 
     
     iversities (though not all) 
     
     charge a fee for parking: 
     
     U.P.E.I° does not.Those who 
     
     are not students at U.P.E.I. 
     
    
   
   
    
     and are parked in our park- 
     
     ing lot, will be towed away 
     
     at the insistence,of Our 
     
     security force. "This is for 
     
     the students' protection" 
     
     Junior said. Emergency Alert: 
     
     at any time a student suffers 
     
     an injury or succumbs to a 
     
     disease\or injures himself 
     
     because of entoxication, or 
     
     drugs, the security men have 
     
     in the past, and will con— 
     
     tinue to, assist wherever I 
     
     possible. This is, again, for 
     
     the protection of the in- 
     
     dividual whether he be a 
     
     student, faculty member, or 
     
     non-academic employee. 
     
     Junior was somewhat sad- 
     
     dened because there are 
     
    

    
     many who look upon police 
     
    

    
     or security forces as hos- 
     
     tile, antagonistic forces 
     
     ,whereas, in fact, they eXr 
     
     ist for the protection of 
     
    

    
     the individual and his 
     
     society. 
     
    

    
     Junior and his men find 
     
     themselves in the imposs 
     
     sible position of being 
     
     the mediators between the 
     
     society and the individ— 
     
     ual through enforcing 
     
     those rules and regula- 
     
     tiOns necessary for the 
     
     maintenance of both. 
     
    

    
     It's easy for them to make 
     
     mistakes because they must 
     
     interpret, to the satis- 
     
     faction of both society and 
     
     the individual. Often, they 
     
     must interpret with little 
     
     time for reflection or to' 
     
     consult their book of rules. 
     
     What they do depends on 
     
     however, is that every in-

     MCLEOD- 
     
    
   
   
    
     diVidual at our university 
     
     exercise a good amount of 
     
     common sense with regards 
     
     to the property of others 
     
     and the university. 
     
    

    
     Security does not create 
     
     the laws, Junior explained, 
     
     "we enforce the rules of 
     
     the university and the laws 
     
     of society" often in cos 
     
     operation with other police 
     
     agencies such as the Char- 
     
     lottetown police force and 
     
     the R.C.M.P. 
     
    

    
     Although Junior spoke at 
     
     considerable length in our 
     
     interview, the substance of 
     
     his remarks point to the 
     
     fact that security is 293 
     
     out to get the student or 
     
     anyone else, indeed it is 
     
     quite the opposite: the 
     
     well—being of the individ— 
     
     ual is their prime concern 
     
     as well as the protection 
     
     of the institution itself. 
     
     Furthermore, security wants 
     
     to work with each member of 
     
     the community, not against 
     
    
   
   
    
     WOMEN UNITE! 
     
    
   
   
    
     On Friday, october 19, 
     
     there will be a meeting of 
     
     all women interested in 
     
     getting together with ' 
     
     other women. A number of us 
     
     would like to examine the 
     
     meaning of being a woman 
     
     today - what is expected 
     
     of us and what we would 
     
     like to be. Rather than 
     
     considering these ques— 
     
     tions individually, we are 
     
    
   
   
    
     -planning to exchange in- 
     
    
   
   
    
     formation and compare ex- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ,periences in the hope of 
     
    
   
   
    
     gaining greater perspect- 
     
     ive on our lives, find 
     
     encouragement and assist- 
     
     ance from women who share 
     
     our concerns, and in the 
     
     process, learn to develop 
     
     better friendships with 
     
     other women. In addition, 
     
     some of us are interested 
     
     in creating new oppor— 
     
     tunities for ourselves 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     him. Junior thinks each 
     
     of us is responsible for 
     
     the community: a respons— 
     
     ibility which is to the 
     
     advantage of each in the 
     
     long run., 
     
    

    
     He suggested some ways 
     
     this may come about: if 
     
     you notice anything you 
     
     conSider unusual, sontact 
     
     security: when you see 
     
     someone causing molicious 
     
     damage, whether of another 
     
     person or property, contact 
     
     security. If you lose some— 
     
     thing, or have found some— 
     
     thing (i.e. wallet, glasses, 
     
     etc) contact security. 
     
    

    
     On the whole, Junior was 
     
     quite concerned that we 
     
     realize security is there 
     
     for our protection and for 
     
     no other reason. L 
     
    

    
     Those of you who are un- 
     
     certain of how security 
     
     functions may speak any- 
     
     time with Junior or his 
     
     mendand they would be only 
     
     too3glad to tell you more.

     and each other. Courses in 
     
     automobile mechanics, 
     
     carpentry, household re— 
     
     pairs, or in women's hist— 
     
     éry, psychologh, sexuality 
     
     Amight be of interest to 
     
     many women. A birth cOntrol 
     
     -and abortion counselling 
     
     clinic could be started. 
     
     The possibilities are end— 
     
     less. 
     
    

    
     While the specific inter— 
     
     ests of each of us will 
     
    

    
     be different, we are hoping 
     
     that all women who see sone 
     
     purpose in meeting with 
     
     other women will come to
