     By now, you must all be aware of our Student 
     
     Union's plans for next week's massive march on 
     
     the Provincial Building. The march is scheduled 
     
     in protest of proposed cutbacks in funding for 
     
     post-secondary education by the federal ’ 
     
     government. The Union should be unattended for 
     
     stid<ing out its neck and goading the student 
     
     body at UPEI into some form of action. 
     
    

    
     . Yet all this activity is somewhat puzzling, 
     
     partly because the student of the '80's is 
     
     notorious for his supposed apathy. Mostly, 
     
     however, one is intrigued by the interest in the 
     
     E.P.F. since the Union made it perfectly clear 
     
     last year that their policy was not to make 
     
     political stands. If that policy bothers you, 
     
     bear in mind that the Student Union is, at least 
     
     if not on paper then in reality, subject to the 
     
     whims and fancies of the‘nbre permanent powers— 
     
    

    
     ' that—be on this  Taking a political stand 
     
     could ruin the long hours of work our dear 
     
     university President has spent in trying to raise 
     
    

    
     ' a portion cf the vast sums of money necessary to 
     
     run an institution of higher learning. 
     
    

    
     Presumably the Student Union justifies its 
     
     current interest in the E.P.F. because of the 
     
     direct relation it bears to UPEI students. That 
     
     in  is birt'reluctance to broaden 4
