Winter Season

By Sam Okello

Low, hovering clouds obscure the sun from the sight; The morning comes too late; too soon the night; From the sea cold winds with fury sweep, Criss-crossing thru forests and farms down the valleys; Snow emerges and brightens all things in its path, With frigid blast and all too wicked wrath,

Lakes and rivers are covered with ice,

And trees once garbed in green now naked stand, Mother nature seems unkind to this foresaken world, Nonetheless, it’s hard to believe Canadians go out and build snowmen, and ski and skate and play hockey: It’s fun to natives but but a shock to foreigners;

We helplessly remain indoors screaming

“It’s too cold and grim and white out there!” -~

There is more to endure than to enjoy.

Theme song for applicant to any major political party

(Based on ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World’, by

Tears for Fears.)

Verse I

Welcome to our Party,

There’s no turning back,

For we'll look while you sleep,

And we will find you

And make you act on your best behaviour; Turn your back on Mother Nature, for Everybody wants to rule Canada.

Verse ITI

It’s our old desire,

It’s our lack of remorse, Help us to decide ‘ How to make the

Most of freedom and of pleasure, for Nothing ever lasts forever, and

Everybody wants to rule Canada.

Verse III

There’s a room where the cops may find you, Stuffing ballots while the walls come tumbling down; If this happens we'll be right behind you,

So glad we almost made it,

So glad you had to blow it;

Everybody wants to rule Canada.

Verse IV

We can’t stand opposition,

And we hate the smell of controversy.

Everybody wants to rule Canada.

Say that you'll never, never, never leave us,

Or forsake us for another political party;

Everybody wants to rule Canada.

It’s all for freedom and for pleasure,

Nothing ever lasts forever,

Everybody wants to rule Canada. —Malcolm Gorrill

Blame Alcohol

LENNOXVILLE (CUP) — Almost a third of first-year students at Bishop’s Univer- sity failed a mandatory writ- ing test this Fall.

The writing test was taken this year by 526 stu- dents. Twenty-seven per cent failed. ;

“A lot of (students) don’t write very much in classes,” said Margaret Red- ding, director of the Writ- ing Proficiency Programme. “They accumulate marks on quizzes and mid-terms which only require short answers. The test catches most of them.”

Some students who took the test attributed the re- sults to drunkenness.

“It was a bad time in Frosh, Week,” said Anthony Milonas. “Everyone was half

drunk.”

“T failed. I was’ im- paired,” said Jeff Sprecker.

According to -a_ recent survey by Southam News, 8 per cent of Canadian univer- sity graduates are function- ally illiterate. .
