      eing
      the
      managing
      editor
      of
      the
      Cadre
     
     
      his
      year
      is
      an
      honour.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      or
      the
      last
      three
      years
      I
      have
      been
     
     
      orking
      towards
      this.
      I
      graduated
      high
     
     
      chool
      and
      I
      knew
      I
      wanted
      to
      go
      to
     
     
      niversity
      right
      away
      to
      get
      it
      over
     
     
      ith.
      So
      I
      started
      at
      UPEI
      in
      the
      fall
     
     
      f
      2003
      as
      a
      student
      in
      the
      Print
      Me-
     
     
      ia
      program.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      This
      program
      requires
      me
      to
      complete
     
     
      one
      year
      at
      UPEI,
      two
      at
      Holland
      Col-
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Welcome
      From
      a
      New
      Editor
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      lege
      in
      the
      Journalism
      program
      where
     
     
      a
      diploma
      in
      Newspaper
      Reporting
     
     
      must
      be
      obtained
      and
      a
      final
      year
      at
     
     
      UPEI.
      That’s
      where
      I
      am
      now.
      So
     
     
      when
      I
      found
      out
      I’d
      be
      the
      managing
     
     
      editor
      of
      the
      Cadre,
      I
      was
      thrilled.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      am
      here
      to
      put
      my
      education
      in
      jour-
     
     
      nalism
      to
      work.
      Journalism
      isn’t
      a
      field
     
     
      of
      work
      people
      go
      into
      for
      the
      money,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      UPEI
      Student
      Union
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      because
      there
      isn’t
      any.
      It’s
      not
      about
     
     
      making
      a
      difference
      in
      the
      world,
      be-
     
     
      cause
      that
      rarely
      happens.
      It
      isn’t
     
     
      about
      the
      fame,
      because
      very
      few
      of
     
     
      us
      will
      make
      it
      in
      the
      big
      leagues
      and
     
     
      we
      will
      not
      become
      household
      names
     
     
      like
      Peter
      Mansbridge.
      It
      seems
      harsh,
     
     
      but
      these
      are
      the
      realities.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I’m
      in
      this
      because
      I
      love
      it
      and
      that’s
     
     
      really
      the
      only
      reason
      most
      journalists
     
     
      do
      it.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      This
      year,
      I
      hope
      to
      bring
      you
      guys
     
     
      some
      stories
      that
      really
      matter
      to
      you.
     
     
      If
      you
      see
      me
      around
      and
      I
      don’t
      look
     
     
      like
      ’m
      rushing
      to
      get
      to
      a
      class,
      let
     
     
      me
      know
      what
      you
      think
      and
      if
      you
     
     
      have
      any
      ideas,
      let
      me
      know.
