     The report called for a

     Unlike the Calgary 
     
     Conference of EducatiOn 
     
     Students, the meetings 
     
     held between the Educa- 
     
     tion Students and Faculty 
     
    
   
   
    
     r of U.P.E.I;, have prod— 
     
    
   
   
    
     uced little or no change. 
     
     It seems that the 
     
     Education Students at 
     
     U.P.E.I. are not inter— 
     
     ested in improving the 
     
     Education Department. 
     
     (This is evident by the 
     
     poor turn—out of the 
     
     meetings held fl weeks 
     
     ago). These,students are 
     
     interested in only one 
     
     thing: getting to Hell 
     
     out of U.P.E.l.? They 
     
     don't care about what 
     
     happens to those students 
     
     who will enter this Def 
     
     partment next september. 
     
     Unfortunately their 
     
     apathy will go with them 
     
     as they enter the teach— 
     
     ing profession. Their 
     
     apathy will contaminate 
     
     the schools and be pass- 
     
     ed on to the students 
     
     unfortunate enough to be 
     
     taught by these apathetic, 
     
    
   
   
    
     'unconcerned, suppoSed 
     
    
   
   
    
     teachers. These teachers 
     
     to be do not care now - 
     
     twill they care when they 
     
     become teachers? How 
     
     many students will these 
     
     teachers turn—off in the 
     
     courSe of their teaching 
     
     careers? 
     
    

    
     If you, the Education 
     
     Students don't like the 
     
     ,picture I've painted of 
     
    
   
   
    
     vyou and you don't like
