of CIA recruiters on campus.

CIA representatives have re- cently drawn protestors at the University of Texas, Minne- sota, Oregon State, Massachu- setts-Amherst, Iowa, and Rhode Island, among other places.

“Tt seems like everywhere they go, they get protested,” said Tom Swan, president of the U.S. Student Association. “And it seems to be increasing. It could: be tied into the case of arms runner Eugene Hasenfus or Congress’s approval of the contras in Nicaragua.”

CIA spokesperson Sharon Foster said the agency visits “several hundred” campuses a year, but don’t keep tabs on how many protests greet their arrival. “We go where we are invited to talk with students

who have already expressed an interest,” she said.

Demonstrators say they want to inform students as much as protest the CIA’s presense. Ravi Jain, a University of Texas graduate student, said the CIA has been “very suc- cessful” in its signups “because of the kind of recruiting” the agency uses. “People still see the CIA as protecting . the American way of life. We have to go futher to change that mindset.”

A demonstration at the Uni- versity of Texas at Austin fol- lowed a speech by former CIA agent John Stockwell, who accused the CIA of manipulat- ing the press, overthrowing democracies, installing mili- tary dictators and preparing an American invasion of Nicaragua.

Some people think the’ place for ice is in a drink, but for the U.P.E.I. Business Society the place for ice is in the rink-U-P.B.2. Rink, that is.

Hoping for a clean sweep, teams will converge on the DiPieus ice surface on Friday afternoon, January 23 to take part in the annual Broomball tournament. Starting time is 1:00. Hope to see a good turn out to cheer the teams on.

It’s back to the ice on January 30 and 31. Six teams including Dalhousie, St. Mary’s, U.N.B., Blanchard Hall, and of course the winning team, the Business Society team will struggle for top honours. This will be THE event of Winter Carnival, so don’t miss it!

From the rinks to the drinks on che evening of Saturday, January 31 when we will hold what promises to be the greatest pub in U.P.E.I. history. The pub starts at nine and during the evening the awards , for the hockey tournament wiil be presented. Since all the hockey players who participated ir the tournament will be there, make sure you come too, and show them how U.P.E.I. can party!

Finally, congratulations are in order for the winning Policy grcup consisting of Karen Bishop, Doug Clow, Darryl Bradley, and Mark MacLeod, whose project was “Fish Waste For Bait”. ‘Congratulations for a job well done!
