      The
      results
      of
      the
      UPEI
      referen-
     
     
      dum
      to
      leave
      the
      Canadian
      Federation
     
     
      of
      Students
      have
      been
      overturned.
     
     
      After
      discovering
      that
      old
      voters
      lists
     
     
      were
      used,
      and
      that
      there
      was
      no
     
     
      secrecy
      at
      the
      booths,
      CFS
      wrote
      a
     
     
      letter
      to
      the
      Student
      Union
      threatening
     
     
      a
      legal
      suit
      if
      the
      results
      were
      to
      be
     
     
      used
      to
      break
      away
      from
      _
      the
     
     
      organization.
     
    

    
     
      By
      using
      an
      old
      voters
      list,
      and
     
     
      the
      lack
      of
      secrecy
      at
      the
      booths,
      the
     
     
      Student
      Union
      had
      used
      undemocratic
     
     
      methods.
      So
      the
      Student
      Union,
     
     
      disappointed,
      yet
      focused
      on
      being
      fair
     
     
      and
      also
      in
      the
      face
      of
      a
      lawsuit,
     
     
      overturned
      the
      results.
      After
      doing
      so,
     
     
      they
      adopted
      the
      Prince
      Edward
     
     
      Island
      Elections
      Act
      to
      ensure
      that
      the
     
     
      same
      mistakes
      do
      not
      happen
      again.
     
     
      The
      Student
      Union
      is
      allowed
      to
      hold
     
     
      another
      referendum
      in
      six
      months.
      On
     
     
      March
      8,
      six
      months
      notice
      was
      given
     
     
      to
      CFS,
      and
      so
      another
      referendum
     
     
      will
      probably
      be
      held
      in
      October
      of
      this
     
     
      year.
     
    

    
     
      There
      was
      much
      disturbance
     
     
      caused
      by
      the
      adoption
      of
      the
     
     
      Elections
      Act.
      Rumours
      flared
      that
     
     
      the
      Act
      had
      not
      even
      been
      read
      by
      the
     
     
      council
      before
      it
      was
      adopted.
      This,
     
     
      the
      Student
      Union
      admitted,
      was
      true,
     
     
      but
      as
      SU
      President
      Amber
      Allin
      said
     
     
      “There
      was
      no
      time,
      the
      act
      was
      an
     
     
      emergency
      measure
      to
      Get
      us
      through
     
     
      the
      next
      general
      election.”
     
    

    
     
      Another
      problem
      that
      peccls
     
     
      had
      with
      the
      Act
      was
      that
      much
      of
      it
     
     
      does
      not
      pertain
      to
      the
      University.
      In
     
     
      fact,
      some
      of
      it
      would
      discriminate
     
     
      against
      certain
      university
      students
      the
     
     
      right
      to
      vote.
      For
      example,
      the
      Act
     
     
      stipulates
      that
      the
      voter
      must
      be
     
     
      eighteen
      years
      of
      age
      or
      older
      to
      be
     
     
      eligible
      to
      vote.
      However,
      there
      are
     
    
   
   
    
     
      students
      at
      UPEI
      who
      are
      not
      eighteen
     
     
      years
      of
      age.
      The
      Student
      Union,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      however,
      maintained
      that
      this
      would
      -
     
    
   
   
    
     
      not
      cause
      a
      problem,
      as
      some
      things
      in
     
     
      the
      act
      could
      be
      changed
      to
      suit
      the
     
     
      needs
      of
      the
      university.
     
    

    
     
      Chris
      Burns,
      the
      Student
     
     
      Union’s
      ombudsperson,
      indicated
      that
     
     
      the
      Election
      Act
      will
      ensure
      secrecy
      at
     
     
      booths,
      and
      a
      good
      voters
      list.
      Burns
     
     
      also
      stated
      that
      “There
      were
      incredible
     
     
      inconsistencies
      between
      our
      constitu-
     
     
      tion
      and
      the
      election
      by-laws.”
      This,
     
     
      he
      explained,
      led
      to
      the
      undemocratic
     
     
      methods
      used
      in
      the
      last
      referendum.
     
    

    
     
      Allin
      said
      that
      the
      Student
     
     
      Union
      was
      very
      disappointed
      with
     
     
      forced
      overturn.
      However,
      she
      noted
     
     
      “The
      point
      is
      to
      do
      it
      right.
      It’s
      better
     
     
      to
      cut
      our
      losses
      now.
      .
      .
      We
      made
      a
     
    
   
   
    
     
      mistake
      and
      now
      we
      must
      fix
      it.”
      The
     
     
      PEI
      representative
      from
      CFS
      was
     
     
      unavailable
      for
      comment
      for
      this
      issue.

      But
      is
      it
     
     
      correct
      to
      exploit
      the
      professional
      role

      the

      however,
      some
      of
     
     
      the
      “winning”
      professors
      thought
      other-
     
     
      wise.
      Their
      initial
      reaction
      to
      the
     
     
      survey
      was
      first
      embarrassment,
      and
     
     
      then
      uncertainty
      as
      to
