m1Nov 14, 15 and 16.? ‘ trﬁfty—five UPEI students met at the Mt. St. Mﬂy's Residence in Char: lOttetown for the A.C.T. adult Christian Thinking) Weekend.._The weekend con— dﬁted of a series of for- ma1 talks presented by “udents on subjects rela— ted toga true Christian way oflife, followed by ﬂgormal group discussions althe subject matter,

“1h a few songs and a lot d humour blended in.

Hem our objective point g view the preceding is wsentially the format of am weekend. From a

mman and Christian view- wﬁnt, however, something fm:more intangible happ— de to the people invol- Vaion both an individual mm collective level.

When the weekend began mlFriday evening we were ather strangers or knew mm another without really hmwing about one another. mne girl, for inStance, mid she never realized Iwas a Christian. For a mmwnt I wondered if she meviously felt I was a mgan who danced around penilence to overcome the mxld. I never knew sher wasa vegetarian.) Now tothis writer's knowledge noone in the group had aw aspiration about fut- me sainthood, so, barring anunforeseen shortage of sﬁnts, it is fairly safe toassume the people in- vdyed were simply ordin— arystudents interested hmrobing deeper into Hm importance of Chris- timﬁty in their lives.

During the next few hmms of the initial meet— hm the group firmly, if' sﬂently, established the Ramral rule for the week-

end; allhuman barriers were to be taken down and individuals allowed to express their opinions freely without'fear of rejection. The result of this actmnn was unique, if not amazing. An actual community, in the truest sense of the word, was formed by virtual strang— Kers with the common goal of making the weekend a success for each individ- ual and the general comm- unity. h Individually each

' person had the same opp—

ortunity of learning something truly significant about themselves or their way of life in exchange for contributing compari- tively little in terms of time, energy, and thought. Some perplexing old quest— ions were answered and some new interesting questions raised, but generally, each individual left the week with a refreshed and str— engthened attitude towards Christ's role in their life. There was also a feeling left with the community in general. For this writer to try and express it is pointless, since one young lady beautifully expressed it during the weekend. "Our attitude

should be as true, living examples of God's love.

In this type of community we are sharing this weekend it is relatively easy to live and love in union with Christ. But what will happ-

' en when we leave this envir—

onment? It is much harder to fulfill our Christian committment when we are surrounded by others who are unaware oerod's loving influence in‘our lives or plainly just don't care.

Photo Club Sealed

On Thursday, Nov20, at 5pm the door to the photo club was sealed by the Student Union in reply to photo club proposals printed in the Cadre thatrweek.

The problems arose when the finance committee (budget committee) arbitr— arily decided photo club members were to earn $1,000 for the Union, while oper— ating on a budget reduced $300 from last year. Stu— dent Council passed that budget on Wednesday, and on the following Monday the club chairman and the yearbook editor passed in resignations. Later that same Monday, Ray Shalala brought in his proposal. Club members discussed"

that proposal and came to an agreement.

Sometime late Thursday or early Friday, one of the club members entered the darkroomto find a list of these pnposals in what app- eared to be a slightly altered form.

the darkroom being made in .one of the offices. Thursday, apparently while waiting for a reply to an ultimatum, several lockers in the darkroom were broken

open and member's peronal equipment removed. Also removed from the darkroom were some inoperative pieces of photo club equipment.

The final result of that "game",as an execu~ tive member termed itywas to dissolve the photo club, and possibly deprive the yearbook of pictures for this semester.

Apparently these actions were necessary for the executive to rea- lize how much of the club's operations actually depen— ded on member's personal equipment. Club members believe they were victor- ious, though at their own expense. The club is to be re—established next semester with new members and is to have new opera-
