     Dear Peasant: 
     
    

    
     I resign my case. If you 
     
     want to pay 90¢ for a beer 
     
     when the price at the liq— 
     
     uor store is 27¢ then you 
     
     go right ahead. Those‘art- 
     
     icles were directed at all 
     
     bars in Charlottetown that 
     
     charge 90¢. Be my guest 
     
     you sucker. ‘ 
     
    

    
     L.C.M.F. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Mr. Editor: 
     
     I-will not waste space by 
     
     .commenting on you evaluah 
     
     tion of my character in 
     
     last week's Cadre, except 
     
     to say that the committee 
     
     members are more worthy of 
     
     the publicity. I would al— 
     
     so like to point out that 
     
     those who find difficulti— 
     
     es with Proposal C are not 
     
     thereby necessarily unhum— 
     
     'anitarian. Although I do 
     
     favour that proposal, the- 
     
     re are issues and problems 
     
     concerning it that should 
     
     be discussed. Is a dossier 
     
     more advantageous or prac— 
     
     tical than a transcript 
     
     of marks? Will such an in— 
     
     novative system be recogn- 
     
     ized by other institutions? 
     
     Is that a relevant issue? 
     
     What basic principles con— 
     
     cerning higher education 
     
     or what educational philo— 
     
     sophy would imply the acc— 
     
     eptance of one proposal 
     
     rather than another? And 
     
    
   
   
    
     so on. . 
     
     Joe Naylor 
     
    
   
   
    
     Dear Joe: 
     
    

    
     I agree that Proposal C 
     
    

    
     is not acceptable as it is: 
     
     however, I do not question 
     
     that it is a step in the 
     
     right direction. Proposal 
     
     C presupposes the existan— 
     
     ce of those principles, or 
     
     a philosophy of education, 
     
     necessary for its adoption. 
     
     Such principles, or phil— 
     
     osophy, is conspicuously 
     
     (and painfully) absent at 
     
     UPEI. 
     
    

    
     Thelneed for debate on 
     
     'this matter is manifest? 
     
     any further delay on this 
     
     matter cannot be justified.

     The following selective 
     
     bibliography compiled by 
     
     Richard Ellis, Reference 
     
     Librarian, is in response 
     
     to the request for materi- 
     
     als bearing on the questi- 
     
     on of final exams. An att— 
     
     empt to gain some objec- 
     
     tivity, to explore both 
     
     sides of the controversial 
     
     "EXAM" issue was made. 
     
     Some recent articles avai- 
     
     lable only on microfilm 
     
     were deleted. Perhaps this 
     
     bibliography may be of so-

     Dear Sir: 
     
    

    
     Please allow me to say 
     
     one or two words concern- 
     
     ing our library which is 
     
     now a "market place"° 
     
    

    
     In West Africa, e.g° Nig- 
     
     eria, the noisiest place 
     
     is always the market place. 
     
     In P.E.I° the noisiest 
     
     place is always the UPEI 
     
     library. ' 
     
    

    
     The UPEI library is a pl- 
     
     ace where guys and girls ’ 
     
     go to discuss their dating 
     
     projects, and in doing so,

     To'Prof. M.M. Rahman: 
     
     Perhaps it is a case of 
     
     mistaken identity? Perhaps 
     
    

    
     a case where 'A...rushed 
     
     in where...‘ not seeing 
     
     what could be‘seen, refus- 
     
     ing to see What he might 
     
     see and seeing only what 
     
     he wills to see. Perhaps, 
     
     after all, Professor, not 
     
     one, not twO, but three 
     
     informal fallacies in one 
     
     letter; a) 'begging the 
     
     question' b) 'adhominem' 
     
    

    
     ( a favourite) c) 'appeal 
     
     to authority' and a possi- 
     
     ble category mistake to 
     
     boot. 'Who is who?‘ and 
     
     'What is what?‘ Perhaps, 
     
    
   
   
    
     'however, I misjudged your 
     
    
   
   
    
     intent, perhaps you never 
     
     did want to be philosophi—
