      recommendations

      be
      able
      tolook
      at
      the
      President
      and
      say
      ‘‘Right,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I’m
      proud
      to

      this
      person’’.
     
    

    
     
      Also
      important
      is
      vision.
      Dr.
      Munro
     
     
      says
      *‘Not
      only
      should
      the
      new

      have

      going
      in
      the
     
     
      twenty-first
      century,
      but
      he
      or
      she
      should
      have
     
     
      avision
      for
      where
      this
      university
      is
      going.
      The
     
     
      new
      President
      should
      also
      have
      the
      skill
      to
     
     
      engage
      the
      rest

      Not
      surprisingly
      these
     
     
      characteristics
      also
      describe
      Dr.

      Eliot.

      This
      year
      we
      were
      approached
      by
      the
     
     
      EI
      Purchasing
      Department
      to
      have
      a
      space
     
    
   
   
    
     
      for
      Island
      Tel.
      The
      reason
      they
      wanted
      to
      set
     
     
      up
      was
      to
      allow
      students
      to
      sign
      up
      for
      their
     
     
      local
      service
      instead
      of
      having
      to
      go
      to
      the
     
     
      Island
      Tel
      building
      on
      Belvedere
      Avenue.
      We
     
     
      were
      also
      approached
      by
      Unitel
      to
      have
      a
      space
     
     
      to
      market
      their
      long
      distance
      service.
      We
     
     
      wanted
      to
      experiment
      with
      having
      Island
      Tel
     
     
      present
      to
      make
      things
      more
      convenient
      for
     
     
      students
      but
      we
      did
      not
      want
      to
      take
      sides
      in
      the
     
     
      competition
      between
      these
      two
      rivals.
      The
     
     
      bottom
      line
      on
      this
      is
      that
      we
      were
      hoping
      to
     
     
      provide
      an
      extra
      service
      to
      students.
     
    

    
     
      The
      other
      two
      incidents
      involved
      two
     
     
      other
      businesses
      in
      Charlottetown.
      The
      first
     
     
      one
      was
      in
      the
      morning
      with
      Little
      Christo’s.
     
     
      They
      were
      giving
      out
      cards
      at
      the
      front
      door
      of
     
     
      the
      sports
      centre.
      Employees
      of
      the
      sports
     
     
      centre
      pointed
      out
      their
      presence
      to
      us
      and
     
    
   
   
    
     
      asked
      us
      if
      they
      should
      or
      should
      not
      be
      there.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      spoke
      to
      the
      Little
      Christo’s
      representative
     
     
      and
      asked
      him
      if
      he
      would
      be
      willing
      to
      pay
      for
     
     
      the
      insertion
      fee
      to
      have
      his
      discount
      card
     
     
      inserted
      in
      the
      handbook
      under
      the
      same
      ar-
     
     
      rangement
      as
      the
      student
      SMT
      discount
      and
     
     
      the
      student
      magazine
      subscription
      offer.
      The
     
     
      offer
      was
      declined
      and
      the
      representative
      left.
     
    

    
     
      The
      second
      incident
      took
      place
      in
      the
     
     
      afternoon.
      The
      Student
      Union
      booth
      was
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      vacant
      for
      about
      thirty
      minutes
      at
      noon
      while
     
     
      the
      members
      of
      the
      student
      union
      executive
     
     
      working
      at
      the
      desk
      went
      for
      a
      quick
      lunch
     
     
      break.
      During
      that
      time
      students
      could
      just
     
     
      walk
      up
      and
      take
      a
      handbook
      from
      the
      stack
      left
     
     
      on
      the
      table.
      I
      returned
      to
      the
      booth
      at
      approxi-
     
     
      mately
      12:45
      to
      find
      someone
      inserting
      Play-
     
     
      house
      flyers
      in
      our
      handbook.
      This
      was
      being
     
     
      done
      without
      our
      consent.
      I
      asked
      the
      person
     
     
      to
      stop
      and
      suggested
      that
      they
      were
      not
     
     
      authorized
      to
      be
      there.
      We
      were
      busy
      that
     
     
      afternoon
      so
      I’m
      not
      sure
      if
      the
      guy
      left
      or
      not
     
     
      but
      we
      did
      not
      let
      him
      work
      from
      our
      desk.
     
     
      The
      Playhouse
      approached
      us
      about
      a
     
     
      week
      before
      registration
      to
      put
      inserts
      in
      the
     
     
      packages
      given
      out
      to
      all
      Frosh.
      We
      turned
     
     
      them
      down
      because
      most
      first-year
      students
      at
     
     
      UPEI
      are
      not
      of
      legal
      drinking
      age.
      We
      were
     
     
      not
      contacted
      by
      the
      Playhouse
      before
      registra-
     
     
      tion
      about
      having
      an
      insert
      in
      the
      handbook
     
     
      and
      this
      is
      no
      fault
      of
      the
      Student
      Union.
     
     
      During
      the
      last
      three
      weeks
      of
      August
      there
     
     
      were
      four
      people
      in
      our
      office
      daily
      9-5.
     
     
      Beyond
      this
      we
      have
      some
      major
      con-
     
     
      cerns
      with
      the
      ethics
      behind
      what
      took
      place
      on
     
     
      registration
      day.
      The
      Playhouse
      in
      our
      minds
     
     
      was
      essentially
      breaking
      the
      law.
      In
      our
      eyes
     
     
      they
      were
      giving
      out
      tickets
      for
      free
      beer.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Moreover
      they
      were
      not
      discriminating
      be-
     
     
      tween
      the
      people
      above
      19
      and
      those
      below.
     
    

    
     
      Finally,
      there
      is
      also
      a
      campus
      policy
     
     
      that
      the
      only
      bar
      allowed
      to
      advertise
      on
      cam-
     
     
      pus
      bulletin
      boards,
      and
      be
      promoted
      on
      cam-
     
     
      pus
      etc.
      is
      the
      Panther
      Lounge.
      The
      three
     
     
      exceptions
      to
      this
      are
      the
      Yearbook,
      the
      X-
     
     
      Press
      and,
      in
      other
      years,
      the
      Student
      Hand-
     
     
      book.
      The
      Student
      Union
      decided
      for
      reasons
     
     
      based
      on
      the
      GST
      that
      it
      was
      not
      worthwhile
     
     
      selling
      ads
      for
      the
      handbook
      this
      year.
      Besides
     
     
      that,
      the
      Student
      Union
      stopped
      selling
      adver-
     
     
      tisements
      of
      any
      kind
      to
      the
      Playhouse
      in
      1992
     
     
      when
      they
      did
      not
      pay
      for
      advertisements
      bought
     
     
      in
      September
      of
      that
      year
      and
      previously.
     
    

    
     
      I
      hope
      this
      helps
      to
      demonstrate
      that
     
     
      Shannon’s
      article
      was
      in
      fact
      researched
      and
     
     
      truthful.
      I
      found
      that
      it
      also
      questioned
      Student
     
     
      Union
      policies
      on
      this
      situation
      and
      we
      will
      be
     
     
      examining
      this
      along
      with
      the
      Registrar’s
      of-
     
     
      fice
      to
      come
      up
      with
      a
      set
      policy
      on
      business
      at
     
     
      registration
      day.
      We
      will
      be
