Letters
      To
      The
      Editor:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Dear
      Editor,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Asa
      former
      student
      of
      U.P.E.I.
      (class
      of
      °92),
      Ihave
      tried
      to
     
     
      follow
      the
      events
      that
      have
      occurred
      on
      campus.
      I
      wish
      to
     
     
      offer
      the
      following
      comments:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      1)
      The
      assault
      --
      When
      I
      heard
      of
      this
      I
      felt
      very
      sick.
      I
      was
     
     
      shocked
      and
      could
      not
      believe
      it
      happened.
      I
      also
      could
      not
     
     
      believe
      there
      was
      a
      cover
      up,
      and
      that
      the
      victim
      or
      her
     
     
      mother
      had
      to
      come
      forward
      in
      order
      for
      there
      to
      be
      action.
     
     
      It
      was
      a
      brave
      thing
      to
      do,
      and
      also
      the
      right
      thing.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      2)Student
      Council
      --
      As
      a
      former
      Arts
      Rep
      (91-92),
      [have
     
     
      some
      idea
      of
      how
      the
      Student
      Council
      works.
      I
      think
      Presi-
     
     
      dent
      Arsenault
      handled
      the
      incident
      very
      well.
      It
      is
      very
     
     
      important
      for
      people
      to
      act
      with
      reason
      and
      respond
      to
      facts
     
     
      --
      notrumour.
      If
      everyone
      responded
      with
      just
      emotion
      to
     
     
      rumours,
      then
      every
      time
      a
      National
      Enquirer
      came
      out
      some
     
     
      sort
      of
      responsible
      being
      would
      have
      to
      hold
      a
      meeting
      --
      the
     
     
      United
      Nations,
      the
      U.S.
      Congress,
      the
      National
      Elvis
     
     
      Sightings
      Committee.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      feel
      the
      petition
      that
      was
      started
      was
      very
      petty,
      immature
     
     
      and
      destructive.
      Instead
      of
      trying
      to
      blame
      everyone
      for
      the

      3)Libby
      Whelan
      --
      I
      cannot
      understand
      how
      you
      could
      find
     
     
      any
      connection
      between
      the
      sexual
      assault
      and
      the
      *‘Back-
     
     
      lash’’
      column.
      You
      might
      say
      because
      of
      the
      environment
     
     
      the
      column
      created
      --
      bull.
      Not
      once
      did
      the
      column
      condone
     
     
      any
      type
      of
      sexual
      aggression.
      It
      was
      not
      Peter
      and
      Joe
      that
      "
     
     
      made
      the
      attack
      on
      your
      character,
      or
      so
      it
      was
      alleged
      that
     
     
      such
      an
      attack
      was
      made.
      I
      do
      not
      know
      you
      personally,
      but
      I
     
     
      feel
      that
      you
      must
      have
      a
      boring
      life
      and
      a
      driving
      need
      for
     
     
      attention.
      You
      have
      grasped
      for
      straws
      in
      trying
      to
      finda
     
     
      connection
      and
      I
      feel
      it
      is
      a
      petty
      attempt
      to
      have
      the
      last
     
     
      word.
      To
      rephrase
      your
      second
      last
      sentence
      by
      leaning
      out
     
     
      two
      words
      --
      students:
      if
      you
      feel
      a
      professor
      or
      the
      material
     
     
      put
      forth
      is
      degrading
      please
      make
      your
      concerns
      known
      and
     
     
      issue
      a
      complaint.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      hope
      this
      very
      serious
      incident
      has
      alerted
      people
      to
      the
     
     
      dangers
      in
      our
      society.
      I
      hope
      the
      student
      body
      can
      come
     
     
      together
      and
      try
      and
      prevent
      this
      from
      ever
      happening
      again.
     
     
      I
      hope
      the
      administration
      and
      police
      can
      get
      their
      act
      to-
     
     
      gether,
      so
      when
      it
      does
      happen
      again,
      no
      cover-up
      will
      occur.

      You,

      To
      the
      students
      of
      Marion
      Hall
      in
      a
      not
      asked
      for
      response
      to
     
     
      your
      article:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Your
      annual
      house
      function
      may
      have
      been
      a
      success,
      but
      in
     
     
      light
      of
      the
      alleged
      assault
      that
      took
      place
      there
      on
      the
      same
     
     
      night,
      I
      truly
      do
      not
      understand
      how
      anyone
      could
      possible
     
     
      say
      it
      was
      successful?
      :
     
    

    
     
      I
      believe
      your
      policies
      were
      enforced,
      and
      I
      also
      believe
      that
     
     
      no
      doubt,
      unless
      there
      was
      going
      to
      be
      ten
      guards
      per
      floor,
     
     
      the
      scum
      and
      slime
      that
      ‘‘allegedly’’
      raped
      that
      poor
      woman
     
     
      would
      still
      have
      done
      it!
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Another
      thing,
      how
      can
      you
      possible
      say
      that
      U.P.E.I.
      didan
     
     
      excellent
      job
      on
      the
      investigation?
      Has
      anyone
      been
