      It
      was
      chilly
      outside,
      but
      a
      com-
     
     
      munity
      forum
      with
      MP
      Shawn
      Murphy
     
     
      gota
      little
      heated.
      A
      quaint
      audience
      sat
     
     
      quietly
      at
      first
      listening
      to
      the
      opening
     
     
      by
      Charlottetown’s
      MP
      as
      he
      repeat-
     
     
      edly
      said
      that
      “I
      am
      not
      hear
      to
      give
      a
     
     
      speech,
      I
      am
      here
      to
      listen
      to
      your
      con-
     
     
      cerns.”
      Also
      at
      the
      head
      of
      this
      meeting
     
     
      was
      Holland
      College
      Student
      Union
     
     
      President
      Jarod
      Colwill
      and
      sitting
      in
      for
     
     
      UPEI
      SU
      President,
      Clare
      Henderson,
     
     
      was
      SU
      VP,
      Mark
      O’Halloran.
      Both
     
     
      gentlemen
      voiced
      their
      concerns
      around
     
     
      the
      escalating
      financial
      difficulties
      for
     
     
      post
      secondary
      students.
     
    

    
     
      Shawn
      Murphy
      assured
      us
      that
     
     
      the
      government
      is
      taking
      strides
      in
      the
     
     
      right
      direction
      with
      improvements
      to
     
     
      taxes,
      scholarships
      and
      loans.
      “But
      Iam
     
     
      still
      not
      satisfied”’,
      he
      said.
      He
      contin-
     
     
      ued
      to
      stress
      that
      the
      millennium
      schol-
     
     
      arships
      should
      be
      revamped
      and
      based
     
     
      on
      need,
      not
      merit.
      It
      is
      an
      issue
      today
     
     
      that
      there
      are
      people
      that
      want
      to
      at-
     
     
      tend
      post
      secondary
      institutions
      but
      they
     
     
      cannot
      afford
      to
      do
      so.
      Murphy
      said
      that
     
     
      higher
      education
      should
      not
      become
      an
     
     
      elitist
      scenario
      as
      we
      have
      seen
      in
      the
     
     
      past.
      He
      informed
      us
      that
      “there
      are
     
     
      80%
      of
      people
      that
      do
      not
      attend
      uni-
     
     
      versity,
      and
      23%
      of
      those
      say
      that
      it
      is
     
     
      because
      of
      lack
      of
      resources.”
      To
     
     
      choose
      not
      to
      go
      to
      school
      is
      one
      mat-
     
     
      ter,
      but
      when
      a
      person
      wants
      to
      and
      the

      Shawn
      Murphy
      and
     
     
      Mark
      O'Halloran,
      Exec.
      VP
      UPEISU
      at
      Nov.
      10th’s
      Student
      Financing
      Forum.
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      means
      are
      not
      available,
      there
      is
      a
      seri-
     
     
      ous
      problem.
     
    

    
     
      Nearly
      all
      people
      in
      attendance
     
     
      voiced
      their
      concerns,
      ranging
      from
     
     
      loans,
      to
      E.I.
      benefits
      and
      scholarships.
     
     
      Though
      the
      forum
      was
      by
      no
      means
      an
     
     
      end
      to
      the
      ever
      growing
      problem
      of
     
     
      money
      (or
      lack
      thereof),
      I
      strongly
      feel
     
     
      that
      our
      MP
      is
      concerned
      and
      he
      is
      a
     
     
      vehicle
      by
      which
      our
      voices
      can
      be
     
     
      heard
      at
      the
      higher
      levels
      of
      government.
     
     
      He
      made
      no
      promises
      (hmm,
      is
      he
      RE-
     
     
      ALLY
      a
      politician????),
      but
      he
      was
      ada-
     
     
      mant
      in
      saying
      that
      he
      is
      concerned
     
     
      about
      our
      education
      and
      that
      it
      should
     
     
      be
      aconcern
      for
      the
      country
      as
      a
      whole.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      night
      was
      seemingly
      success-
     
     
      ful,
      the
      man
      took
      notes
      and
      all!
      The
      only
     
     
      dampness
      that
      is
      evident
      is
      the
      low
      turn
     
     
      out
      rate.
      Common
      all,
      [hear
      the
      bitching
     
     
      and
      complaining
      everywhere
      I
      turn,
      if
     
     
      we
      could
      all
      come
      together
      and
      have
      a
     
     
      voice
      as
      one,
      it
      will
      likely
      not
      fall
      on
      deaf
     
     
      ears
      as
      it
      has
      been
      doing.
      We
      need
      to
     
     
      stand
      up
      and
      express
      our
      concerns
      now
     
     
      before
      we
      are
      taken
      over
      by
      the
      elites
     
     
      amongst
      us.
      We
      should
      all
      have
      the
      op-
     
     
      portunity
      to
      further
      our
      education,
      and
     
     
      as
      Mark
      O’
      Halloran
      pointed
      out,
      our
     
     
      studies
      should
      be
      the
      most
      important
     
     
      thing,
      but
      most
      of
      us
      have
      at
      least
      one
     
     
      job
      to
      try
      to
      make
      ends
      meet,
      and
      our
     
     
      studies
      are
      often
      put
      aside.
