week

Universities from coast to coast will join in a week long celeb-ration this fall to mark the achievements of Canadian higher education. Nat- ional Universities Week (NUW) has been scheduled for October 2-8. The theme of the week is

. "We have the future in minds" and, while NUW is being billed

as a low-budget celebration, it is already generating a lot of enthusiasm on university campuses across the country. The purpose of the week is to demonstrate the essential role of Canadian universities in community,regional and national development. It will draw attention to the value of teaching', scholarship, research, and Qultupal and public servide activities , and 3111 emphasize university contriDUtiOHS 9° bUS1ne§£, industry and the economic life of canadian 3°01et¥z ’National Universities Week is a Joint endeaVOP 9f the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canaaa (AUCC), the Counicl of Western Canadian University Presidents (COWCUP), the Council of Ontario Universities (COU), the conference of Rectors and Principals of Quebec Universities (CREPUQ) and the Association of Atlantic Universities '(AAU). A National Coordination Committee, comprised of representatives of the five organizations, has been established to coordinate activities and toassist individual institutions in planning for the festivities. The committee is chaired by McGill University Princiapal David Johnston and University of British Columbia President-elect George Pedersen. Said Dr. Johnston, "We hope the week will foster a sense of pride on the part of the Canadian public in the notable accomplishments of our universities. The future well-being of our country is inextricably tied to the health of our higher education institutions. The economic and social development of our society _over the past several decades was due in large measure to work that began on our university campuses. We want to remind the public that the universities are an essential part of our community." Most NUW activities will take place on individual university campuses. Costs will be kept to a minumum by re-scheduling exhibits, public open houses and other events that might normally be held at other times in the year, to coincide with the Week. The four regional and provincial university associations will coordinate cooperative events within their jurisdictions and, with the AUCC, will plan Canada-wide activities.

SHINERAMA — A SUCCESS

RESOUNDING

The Freshmen class here at U.P.E.I. have taught all Upperclassmen a very valuable lesson, 'Hard work

rwill reap rewards'. All Freshmen who took

part in this year's Shinerama fundraising campaign are to be thanked for their hard work and long h°ur3 they put in on wedQﬁSday Sept. 7th.

U.P.E.I. enjoyed their most successful Shinerama campaign ever,

when the rresnmen demolished the old fundraising 7 record by

raising a phenomenal total

of $h,118.80. This unbelievable total could never have been achieved

without the help and desire of some 85 Freshmen who took. to the streets of Charlottetown and Summerside early in the morning and stuck there throughout the heat of the afternoon, on their quest of setting a Shinerama fundraising recorda

The Freshmen of '83 have shown the whole university Athat they have class. to put up- with everything that was dgne to them on Monday Sept?“/5th during their initiation, and then to come back and show such great support and effort is truly a show of class.

This year at U.P.E.I. is .the year of the Volunteer, and.the Freshmen class have set a great tone towards showing the rest of the university what volunteers can do. I' hope that everyone else, here at. U.P.E.I., and throughout the

province can take a look at the resultS‘ the Freshmen came up with, and get out

and volunteer some of their time and effort to anything that they feel worthwhile. There are many people behind the sceneS‘ Of this

year's "Shinerama-‘Campaign"e«l

who deserve recognition and my own personal thank .you. for their outstanding contribution to our effort. Without their help and dedication to the cause, this year's campaign ‘most certainly would not "have. been the resounding success
