      I

      like
      to
      make
      a
      clarifi-
     
     
      cation
      regarding
      the
      article
      “Some-

      in

      The
      article
      in
      question
      was
      my
     
     
      personal
      opinion
      and
      was
      not
      in-
     
     
      tended
      to
      misinform
      readers.

      I
      have
      remained
      silent
      since
      my
     
    
   
   
    
     
      -
      resignation
      as
      manager
      from
      CIMN
      in
     
    
   
   
    
     
      January
      of
      this
      year.
      I
      made
      the
      decision
     
     
      to
      resign
      after
      realizing
      that
      my
      employ-
     
     
      ers
      (the
      Student
      Union
      Executive)
      had
     
     
      no
      confidence
      in
      my
      position
      and
      no
     
     
      respect
      for
      the
      past
      or
      present
      volun-
     
     
      teers,
      employees
      and
      students
      with
      a
     
     
      vested
      interest
      in
      the
      radio
      station.
      At
      the
     
     
      time
      there
      was
      little
      I
      could
      do
      to
      change
     
     
      the
      situation
      which
      was
      doomed
      to
     
     
      worsen.
      Perhaps
      now
      my
      protests
      will
     
     
      havea
      greater
      impact.
     
    

    
     
      In
      January,
      the
      Student
      Union
     
     
      Executive
      foreclosed
      all
      processes
     
     
      towards
      going
      FM
      and
      halted
      the
      order
     
     
      on
      FM
      equipment
      to
      which
      $10,000
      was
     
     
      allocated,
      an
      action
      which
      foreshadowed
     
     
      the
      recent
      turn
      of
      events.
      This
      decision
     
     
      was
      made
      without
      my
      consultation
      and
     
    
   
   
    
     
      despite
      my
      written
      and
      verbal
      requests
      to’
     
    
   
   
    
     
      meet
      and
      discuss
      their
      concerns.
      I
     
     
      considered
      myself
      to
      be
      well
      versed
      in
     
     
      the
      CIMN
      situation,
      however,
      my
     
     
      employers
      did
      not
      share
      the
      same
      view.
     
     
      That
      is
      why
      I
      resigned.
      At
      the
      UPEI
     
     
      Council
      meeting
      last
      Sunday,
      March
      24,
     
     
      Councilors
      voted
      to
      cut
      the
      CIMN
     
     
      budget
      completely
      for
      the
      1996-97
     
     
      school
      year.
      The
      actions
      and
      decisions
     
     
      of
      our
      elected
      student
      representatives
      left
     
     
      me
      shocked.
      They
      showed
      disregard
      for
     
     
      the
      outcry
      of
      support
      for
      CIMN
      made
     
    
   
   
    
     
      CIMN's
      former
      Manager
      Speaks
      oT
     
    
   
   
    
     
        
     
    
   
   
    
     
      by
      volunteers
      and
      students.
      Their
      refusal
     
     
      to
      negotiate
      proposals
      suggested
      in
      the
     
     
      "red
      book"
      was
      unjustified.
      The
      intent
      to
     
     
      have
      a
      closed
      meeting
      and
      a
      secret
      ballot
     
     
      was
      undemocratic.
      The
      Councilors
      have
     
     
      caused
      a
      scandal
      which
      is
      a
      disgrace
      to
     
     
      the
      University.
      The
      decision
      to
      cut
     
     
      funding
      to
      CIMN
      was
      obviously
      not
      in
     
     
      the
      long-term
      interests
      of
      the
      students,
      so
     
     
      I
      am
      left
      to
      wonder,
      who
      interests
      was
      it
     
     
      for?
     
    

    
     
      It
      saddens
      me
      to
      think
      that
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      -
      Student
      Council,
      representing
      the
     
    
   
   
    
     
      University
      and
      the
      student
      body,
      feel
      so
     
     
      superficially
      about
      complex
      problems.
     
     
      Their
      narrow-minded
      views
      and
      insensi-
     
     
      tivity
      is
      appalling.
      I
      believe
      that
      respect,
     
     
      communication,
      and
      cooperation
      are
     
    
   
   
    
     
      skills
      required
      when
      dealing
      with
      people
     
    
   
   
    
     
      at
      any
      level
      in
      society
      --
      this
      has
      not
     
     
      been
      my
      experience
      with
      the
      UPEI
     
     
      Student
      Union.
      The
      members
      of
      the
     
     
      Student
      Council
      have
      failed
      to
      live
      up
      to
     
     
      my
      expectations
      as
      a
      student
      of
      UPEI
     
     
      and
      as
      a
      supporter
      of
      CIMN.
      They
      have
     
     
      made
      hasty
      decisions
      based
      on
      personal
     
     
      prejudices
      and
      ignorance.
      These
      are
      not
     
     
      the
      kind
      of
      people
      that
      I
      want
      to
      have
      in
     
     
      my
      future
      governments
      or
      as
      my
      future
     
     
      employers.
