PHILIPSBURG, St. Maarten- The University of St. Martin (USM) will be hosting a presentation on the book "Six 4 Nine" written by Mr. Joseph Lake Jr. followed by a panel discussion.

Six 4 Nine is about the people of St. Martin, it argues that the Country and Collectivite´ are colonies that are not in the interest of the people of St. Martin.

The book champions independence as the main solution to the problems on the island.

A patriotic book is a cry, a critique, and a challenge; it tries in these three tonalities to convey the author's prophetic opinion on the current state of his society.

Mr. Lake's book, on the fate of Sint Maarten & Saint Martin after the constitutional changes can be judged thus, stated Dr. Francio Guadeloupe, USM's Interim President and Dean of Academics.

As is the case with all judgments in democratic societies it needs to be debated and discussed by a panel of experts and the wider public, USM has therefore invited Mr. Reynold Groeneveldt, Ms. Daniella Jeffry, Mr. Miguel De Weever and Mrs. Oldine Bryson-Pantophlet to give their views on the publication and in their opinion what is the fate of Country Sint Maarten and Collectivite´ Saint Martin.

The discussion will be moderated by Mr. Wim de Visser.

USM continues to contribute to educating the community as the island proceed with sustainable development and nation building, by hosting informative lectures open to the general public and its student body.

This event is scheduled for Thursday November 6th, 2014 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm in the USM Lecture Hall. USM welcomes the general public to participate in this discussion.
