Dear Mr. McQuaid:

The January 14 issue of the X-Press pub- lished a notice stating that ‘‘for the first time in many years Religious Services for Non-Roman Catholic members of the University commu- nity will be conducted on a weekly basis’.

I would like to inform your readers that the Unitarian Fellowship of P.E.I. has been holding regular services at the U.P.E.I. Chaplaincy Center since 1987 and we are very grateful to the University for allowing us to use this facil- ity. Several University faculty are long-stand- ing members of the Fellowship and we extend a sincere invitation to students and other faculty to attend and participate in the services which are held on Sundays at 10:30 a.m.. An interest- ing religious education program for children is also presented at that time.

Although most of our services are lay-led, we have recently contracted with a part-time minister, Rev. Don Rollins, who presents a service once a month, and we occasionally have ministers from other Unitarian congregations.

Unitarians believe in the freedom of reli- gious expression; all individuals are encour- aged to develop their own personal theology and to present openly their religious opinions without fear of censure. The development of the Unitarian movement has been traced to Europe in the 15th century, to Britain in the 16th, to the United States in the 18th and to Canada in the 19th century. There are now over 50 Unitarian congregations spread across Canada from the Maritimes to British Columbia.

I would appreciate it if you would publish the above in the next issue of the X-Press and I will contact your office during the week to see if we can make some arrangement to have a regular notice of our services included in each issue.

Sincerely,

Laura Mair

Publicity Chair,

Unitarian Fellowship of P.E.I.

FIFTEEN REASONS WHY THE MO- RONIC PERSON WHO WROTE ABOUT THE DETROIT RED WINGS IN THE JANUARY 14TH ISSUE OF THE X- PRESS WOULD REMAIN ANONY- MOUS.

1. Brian Murray has never had a team with as much talent as Detroit has this year, so you better watch out.

2. Detroit does not have a coach like Keenan or Burns. If these two guys are so good, why is one unemployed and the other in fourth place in the Norris division?

3. Konstantinov has ticked off too many guys in the league and you hate to see what Chicago is going to do to him the next time they play. Konstantinov is one of the best defensemen in the league, and as far as what Chicago is going to do with him, he would make any Black Hawk

4

~ eat his stick, including Stu Grimson.

4. Gerard is not getting enough ice time. That’s too bad. There are seventeen younger players than Gerard in Detroit right now. How’s that

saying go - ‘‘Out with the old and in with the.

new’’ - See ya, Mr.Gallant.

5. Detroit fans don’t give Steve enough respect. Whatever! Inarecent Detroit paper, Yzerman is said to be the ‘Winged God of Hockey.”’ Also, Mr. I-want-to-be-a-sports-writer, if Yzerman doesn’t get enough fan support, than why was he chosen to be the starting center at the All-Star game by the fans?

6. Detroit is not as tough as Chicago. Bobby Probert is tougher than the whole Chicago team. 7. Tim Cheveldae just doesn’t cut it with you. Last year, Chevy had four shutouts during the regular season, two in the playoffs, and he has had three already this year. Too bad he doesn’t cut it with you, but I am sure he cuts it with the Wings.

8. Red Wings give up way too many goals. | think you meant to say that they score way too many goals. They are second overall in the NHL with 202, 6 behind Vancouver, who is in first as of January 18, 1993.

9. Chicago and other Norris division teams have more seasoned, veteran players, more cup winners, etc. L.A. has more previous Stanley Cup winners playing for them and we don’t see the cup in L.A., do we??

10. McCrimmon and Howe never won a cup in Philly, and they will never win one in Detroit. McCrimmon won a cup with Calgary in 1989, and Iam sure Howe will give more than he ever has before, just for the fact he is now playing in the city where his father was a hero, and as far as them not winning a cup in Detroit, the only way that can happen is if they get traded before the year is over.

11. The Chuck Norris division and all your foolish talk about defense and pretending, why don’t you quit pretending you know something about hockey and write about figure skating or bowling?

12. Konstantinov dyes his hair. So what! What are you, attracted to Vladimir, or do you just want to be his hair dresser?

13. Detroit has a lousy .500 record in the Norris. Two years ago, Chicago won the Norris

and was beat out in the first round, the next year »

they had the same lousy .500 record and went all the way to the finals.

14. Ron McLean is usually wrong. | don’t know whose TV you are watching, but you had better tell them to get it repaired. Ron has a good hockey head on his shoulders. If he didn’t, he would have lost his job at CBC a long time ago. 15. Detroit screwed Gordie Howe and now there is a big, bad curse on the Wings. Just for the record, it was the NHLPA who screwed #9 and since you are so uninformed about things, NHLPA stands for National Hockey League Player’s Association. As for the curse, this is hockey, not baseball and the ‘*REDWINGS”’ are not the sucked-out ‘‘RED SOX’’.

Editor:

Iam writing this letter to express the dissat- isfaction of the U.P.E.I. Debating Society wit’ regards to your treatment of a notice submi’

- to the paper concerning one of our upc’ 5 “events. The article was submitted on h J,

January 18, 1993 at 11:30 AM. A ugh submitted before deadline, the article as not included in the paper. We were not noti sied that this omission was going to occur and did not discover the omission until Thursday evening when we picked up a copy of the newspaper.

The article was an advertisement of the annual debate between U.P.E.I. and Holland College. This event was sponsored by the St. Dunstan’s class of 1952 to commemorate the winning of the national championships by one of their debating teams. I am sure all students are familiar with the kind contributions made by the alumni of the two founding schools of U.P.E.L.,, and any recognition we can give to these benefactors is deserved.

As a sub-organization, the debating society has enough trouble attracting members. With- out the support of the editor of the student newspaper this task becomes almost impossi- ble. Most editors have only been too willing to help us publicize our society.

I do not know your reasons for omitting our article. There seems to be ample space in your paper for entertainment articles, so space was obviously not a determining factor. Is the student newspaper of U.P.E.I. only published for the purpose of entertainment, or is it pub- lished to inform as well as entertain? I would hope that it tries to accomplish both tasks. | have no complaint with the inclusion of articles submitted by paid staff members which review albums, comics, or any other entertainment media, but I would hope that this does no! preclude sponsoring of campus societies. Your attention to this serious (and embarrassing) oversight and mistreatment of the debating society would be appreciated.

Sincerely, Edward Lank, President, Debating Socie!)
