Problems
      with
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      would
      like
      to
      complain
      about
      the
     
     
      copyright
      the
      University
      has
      on
      its
      name.
      I
     
     
      have
      been
      a
      loyal
      student
      of
      UPEI
      for
      four
     
     
      years,
      and
      am
      very
      proud
      to
      be
      attending
      UPEI,
     
     
      yet
      when
      I
      want
      to
      show
      of
      this
      pride
      by
      having
     
     
      t_shirts
      printed
      using
      the
      name
      of
      the
      univer-
     
     
      sity,
      I’m
      told
      I
      have
      to
      pay
      for
      that
      privilege.
     
     
      Allow
      me
      to
      explain.
     
    

    
     
      The
      HomeEconomics
      Society
      wishes
      to
     
     
      have
      T-shirts
      printed
      with
      UPEI
      HOME
      ECO-
     
     
      NOMICS
      SOCIETY
      on
      them,
      but
      if
      we
      do
      not
     
     
      place
      our
      order
      through
      the
      Bookstore
      we
      must
     
     
      get
      permission
      to
      use
      the
      UPEI
      name
      and
      pay
     
     
      asurcharge
      of
      7%.
      So,
      you
      say
      why
      not
      just
      go
     
     
      through
      the
      bookstore?
      Well,
      last
      year
      we
      did
     
     
      use
      the
      bookstore
      and
      at
      every
      turn
      we
      were
      met
     
     
      with
      a
      hassle
      and
      a
      mix-up
      in
      our
      order.
      The
     
     
      following
      is
      a
      copy
      of
      the
      letter
      we
      sent
      that
     
     
      detailed
      the
      problems
      we
      had.
      Copies
      of
      the
     
     
      letter
      were
      sent
      to
      Dennis
      Clough,
      President
     
     
      Eliot,
      and
      Russ
      Stewart
      last
      year
      and
      none
      of
     
     
      them
      dignified
      us
      with
      a
      response.

      Dear
      Mr.
      Clough,
     
    

    
     
      The
      Home
      Economics
      Society
      wishes
      to
      ex-
     
     
      press
      their
      displeasure
      and
      disappointment
      in
     
     
      the
      quality
      of
      service
      they
      have
      received
      from
     
     
      the
      U.P.E.I.
      Bookstore
      and
      the
      manager,
      Mr.
     
     
      Russ
      Stewart,
      regarding
      jacket
      and
      T-shirt
     
     
      orders
      that
      were
      placed
      in
      the
      fall
      of
      1993.
      We
     
     
      feel
      that
      as
      consumers
      we
      were
      treated
      in
      a
     
     
      condescending
      manner.
      The
      manager
      con-
     
     
      ducted
      himselfin
      an
      unprofessional
      manner
      in
     
     
      that
      orders
      were
      not
      recorded
      and
      documenta-
     
     
      tion
      of
      customers’
      wishes
      was
      not
      made.
     
    

    
     
      Our
      order
      was
      placed
      in
      the
      middle
      of
     
     
      October
      and
      Mr.
      Stewart
      told
      us
      we
      could
     
     
      expect
      delivery
      of
      the
      jackets
      within
      4-6
      weeks.
     
     
      We
      were
      quoted
      a
      maximum
      price
      of
      $
      85.00
     
     
      per
      jacket.
      Mr.
      Stewart
      did
      not
      ask
      for
      a
     
     
      deposit,
      didnot
      give
      us
      awritten
      receipt
      for
      our
     
     
      order,
      or
      price
      quote.
      About
      the
      fifth
      week
      we
     
     
      were
      informed
      that
      there
      would
      be
      a
      delay
      in
     
     
      the
      delivery
      of
      our
      jackets
      due
      to
      difficulty
      in
     
     
      the
      production
      of
      the
      specified
      design
      which
     
     
      we
      wanted
      on
      the
      front
      of
      our
      jackets.
      Mr.
     
     
      Stewart
      had
      lost
      all
      of
      the
      written
      information
     
     
      given
      to
      him
      by
      the
      society
      which
      included
     
     
      names,
      sizes,
      and
      a
      picture
      of
      our
      design.
      We
     
     
      had
      to
      re-copy
      the
      entire
      order
      including
      names,
     
     
      sizes,
      and
      a
      picture
      of
      our
      design
      for
      Mr.
     
     
      Stewart.
     
    

    
     
      During
      the
      next
      few
      weeks
      we
      ap-
     
     
      proached
      Mr.
      Stewart
      several
      times
      regarding
     
     
      the
      delay
      in
      delivery
      of
      our
      jackets
      and
      each
     
    
   
   
    
     
      SSS
     
    
   
   
    
     
      the
      Bookstore
     
    
   
   
    
     
      time
      we
      were
      given
      conflicting
      and
      vague
     
     
      information.
      We
      then
      proceeded
      to
      ask
      for
      the
     
     
      assistance
      of
      our
      staff
      advisor,
      Professor
      Sheri
     
     
      McBride.
      Professor
      McBride
      called
      the
      com-
     
     
      pany
      that
      supplied
      the
      Bookstore
      with
      the
     
     
      jackets.
      They
      said
      that
      they
      had
      been
      waiting
     
     
      for
      the
      return
      of
      the
      jackets
      after
      embroidery
     
     
      for
      reconstruction
      for
      6
      weeks!
      They
      also
      said
     
     
      that
      they
      had
      contacted
      Mr.
      Stewart
      several
     
     
      timesrequesting
      the
      jackets.
      Professor
      McBride
     
     
      then
      called
      Mr.
      Stewart
      who
      then
      stated
      the
     
     
      company
      doing
      the
      embroidery,
      (Images
      East),
     
     
      was
      very
      busy
      and
      the
      company
      then
      sent
      the
     
     
      jackets
      to
      the
      Island,
      (Elite
      Sportswear)
      and
     
     
      sent
      them
      later
      then
      they
      had
      stated.
      We
      feel,
     
     
      as
      consumers,
      that
      we
      shouldnothave
      to
      put
      up
     
     
      with
      this
      unprofessional
      conduct,
      confusion
     
     
      and
      misleading
      information.
      It
      is
      the
      respon-
     
     
      sibility
      of
      the
      company
      that
      the
      order
      was
     
     
      placed
      with
      to
      ensure
      the
      reliability
      and
      com-
     
     
      petency
      of
      the
      groups
      they
      deal
      with.
     
    

    
     
      Our
      problems
      continued
      regarding
      the
     
     
      unprofessional
      conduct
      by
      the
      Bookstore
      when
     
     
      we
      attempted
      to
      pay
      for
      the
      jackets.
      Mr.
     
     
      Stewart
      verbally
      said
      to
      Professor
      McBride
     
     
      that
      he
      would
      deduct
      $10
      off
      the
      price
      of
      each
     
     
      jacket
      because
      of
      the
      delay.
      We
      finally
      re-
     
     
      ceived
      our
      jackets
      the
      second
      week
      in
      Decem-
     
     
      ber
      which
      was
      two
      months
      after
      we
      had
      placed
     
     
      our
      order.
      We
      did
      not
      immediately
      receive
      a
     
     
      bill
      for
      the
      jackets
      and
      in
      January
      we
      had
      to
     
     
      directly
      request
      a
      bill
      from
      Mr.
      Stewart.
      The
     
     
      bill
      received
      was
      incorrect,
      as
      was
      the
      subse-
     
     
      quent
      bill.
      We
      once
      again
      asked
      Professor
      Mc
     
     
      Bride
      to
      look
      into
      this
      situation.
      After
      Profes-
     
     
      sor
      McBride
      met
      with
      Mr.
      Stewart
      on
      March
      2,
     
     
      we
      finally
      received
      acorrect
      bill.
      This
      was
      the
     
     
      Jirst
      formal
      written
      documentation
      we
      received
     
     
      regarding
      this
      order.
     
    

    
     
      In
      November
      of
      1993
      we
      placed
      an
     
     
      order
      for
      T-shirts
      for
      the
      Home
      Economics
     
     
      Society.
      We
      were
      told
      that
      we
      could
      expect
      the
     
     
      T-shirts
      to
      cost
      $6.50
      and
      they
      would
      be
     
     
      delivered
      four
      weeks
      from
      date
      oforder.
      Upon
     
     
      receiving
      the
      T-shirts
      in
      January
      of
      1994
      itwas
     
     
      discovered
      that
      the
      logo
      and
      printing
      re-
     
     
      quested
      was
      placed
      on
      the
      T-shirt
      incorrectly.
     
     
      When
      we
      ordered
      the
      T-shirts
      we
      told
      Mr.
     
     
      Stewart
      that
      we
      wanted
      the
      exact

      logo
      as
     
     
      on
      our
      jackets.
      We
      also
      requested
      that
      UPEI
     
     
      be
      placed
      in
      the
      center
      of
      the
      ring
      as
      per
      his
     
     
      recommendation.
      The
      color
      of
      the
      logo
      was
     
     
      supposed
      to
      be
      gold
      and
      white
      similar
      to
      the
     
     
      logo
      on
      the
      jackets.
      When
      we
      received
      the
      bill
     
     
      for
      the
      T-shirts
      Mr.
      Stewart
      charged
      us
      more
     
     
      than
      the
      original
      quote.
      After
      a
      long
      discus-
     
     
      sion
      with
      Mr.
      Stewart
      he
      gave
      us
      the
      option
      of
     
     
      cancelling
      our
      order,
      which
      we
      did.
     
    

    
     
      As
      students
      we
      feel
      that
      it
      is
      important
     
     
      to
      support
      the
      campus
      Bookstore
      but
      we
      should
     
    
   
   
    
     
      not
      have
      to
      deal
      with
      the
      stress
      caused
      by
      the
     
     
      inconveniences
      created
      by
      the
      Bookstore.
      We
     
     
      also
      feel
      that
      five
      months
      is
      a
      long
      time
      to
     
     
      complete
      such
      a
      transaction
      as
      a
      jacket
      order.
     
     
      We
      feel
      that
      there
      is
      a
      major
      communication
     
     
      problem
      between
      the
      Bookstore
      and
      its
      cus-
     
     
      tomers.
      Throughout
      our
      dealings
      with
      Mr.
     
     
      Stewart
      no
      written
      documentation
      was
      pro-
     
     
      vided
      for
      either
      order.
     
    

    
     
      If
      the
      Bookstore
      and
      Mr.
      Stewart
      hada
     
     
      proper
      documentation
      system
      and
      if
      receipts
     
     
      had
      been
      supplied,
      we
      feel
      that
      many
      of
      our
     
     
      problems
      might
      have
      been
      eliminated.
      We
     
     
      higklyrecommend
      that
      in
      the
      future,
      the
      Book-
     
     
      store
      develop
      and
      use
      an
      order
      form
      and
      a
     
     
      written
      contract.
      Since
      our
      initial
      problem
     
     
      with
      Mr.
      Stewart
      and
      the
      jacket
      order,
      we
      are
     
     
      recipients
      of
      condescending
      attitude
      from
      the
     
     
      majority
      of
      the
      staff:
      As
      students,
      who
      have
      to
     
     
      deal
      with
      the
      Bookstore
      to
      purchase
      texts
      and
     
     
      miscellaneous
      supplies,
      we
      should
      be
      able
      to
     
     
      feel
      comfortable
      upon
      entering
      the
      establish-

      should
      be
      treated
      withrespect
      and
     
     
      friendliness.
     
    

    
     
      Due
      to
      this
      unpleasant
      experience
      with
     
     
      the
      Bookstore
      and
      Mr.
      Stewart,
      we
      wish
      to
     
     
      inform
      you
      that
      we
      will
      no
      longer
      be

      with
      the
      Bookstore
      in
      the
      future.
      We
      are
     
     
      interested

      To
      avoid
      the
      hassles
      of
      last
      year
      we
     
     
      decided
      to
      go
      with
      another
      manufacturer,
     
     
      haven’t
      decided
      which
      one
      yet,
      but
      it
      wil
     
     
      be
      the
      company
      that
      handles
      orders
      f0
     
     
      bookstore).
      I
      talked
      to
      Murray
      Stevens
     
     
      the
      phone
      yesterday
      and
      was
      told
      that
      we
     
     
      to
      give
      him
      a
      request
      in
      writing
      that
      in
     
     
      why
      we
      want
      to
      use
      the
      name,
      what
      it
      iss
     
     
      to
      be
      used
      on,
      which
      group
      it
      is
      for,
      etc...
      |
     
     
      it
      is
      an
      outrage
      that
      a
      campus
      group
      mus
     
     
      to
      use
      the
      name
      of
      the
      institution
      that
      we
     
     
      good
      money
      to
      attend.
     
    

    
     
      I
      am
      interested
      in
      knowing
      if
      any¢
     
     
      groups
      have
      had
      past
      problems
      with

      Should
      I

      7%
      every
     
     
      I
      use
      the
      name
      in

      Should

      also
      pay
      a

      Perhaps
      I
      am
      being
      a
      bit
      picky
      about
     
     
      this,
      but
      I
      had
      trouble
      believing
      some
      of
      the
     
     
      points
      made
      in
      Mr.
      Peric’s
      editorial
      last
      issue.
     
     
      Apart
      from
      the
      fact
      that
      I
      refuse
      to
      be
      lumped
     
     
      together
      or
      classified
      as
      a
      ‘“North
      American’”’
     
     
      (sounds
      too
      much
      like
      Northern
      American),
      I
     
     
      object
      to
      the
      statement
      implying
      that
      the
      ac-
     
     
      cused
      has
      more
      rights
      than
      the
      victom.
      I
      admit
     
     
      to
      taking
      the
      unpopular
      side
      of
      the
      argument,
     
     
      but
      fear-mongering
      and
      out
      of
      proportion
      me-
     
     
      dia
      coverage
      have
      given
      rise
      to
      an
      unwarranted
     
     
      rash
      of
      paranoia.
     
    

    
     
      Our
      criminal
      system
      is
      so
      ludicrously
     
     
      different
      from
      our
      neighbour’s
      that
      I
      won’t
      go
     
     
      into
      the
      specifics.
      One
      of
      the
      biggest
      differ-
     
     
      ences
      is
      the
      absence
      (or
      at
      least
      downplaying)
     
     
      of
      trial
      by
      media.
      Whether
      you
      want
      to
      admit
     
     
      it
      or
      not,
      Paul
      Teale,
      John
      James
      Rooney,
      and
     
    
   
   
    
     
      even
      OJ
      Simpson
      are
      innocent
      until
      proven
      _
     
    
   
   
    
     
      guilty.
      No
      matter
      how
      many
      tabloids
      and
     
     
      newscasts
      disagree
      with
      this
      fact,
      they
      are
      still
     
     
      American
      or
      Canadian
      citizens
      and
      are
      enti-
     
    
   
   
    
     
      tled
      to
      the
      same
      rights
      as
      anyone
      else.
      F
     
     
      to
      acknowledge
      this
      could
      lead
      to
      gv
     
     
      suspicion,
      or
      even
      mob
      rule.
      Sure
      this
     
     
      like
      it
      favours
      the
      accused,
      but
      that
      is
      all
     
     
      she
      is:
      accused.
