Organized crime and the Mafia have attained such widespread proportions in our day that it probably reaches even 1'11 01' PEI. Most people are aware of this. However,.not many would believe that a simi- liar organization existed two centuries ago."The Beg- gar's Opera" is the kind of living proof that will make you enjoy becoming a belie—

S‘taiflgeAlmost Set For Opening of ‘Tthe

ver. '

March 12 is the date set for the UPEi;premiere of V The Beggar's Opera". Terry Pratt and Carl Mathis have come up with an ori- ginal production promising catchy songs, biting satire,

'realistic history, and, best

of all, raunchy humor. The main set is being built un— der the supervision of An- drew Robb,and Alan Reesor

has his seven piece orches— tra tuned up and ready to go.

Too often.the people behind the scenes in a play get left out, so we feel it apprOpriate to give credit‘ where credit is due:-

Molly Howlett is Production Assistant, I .

Linda Peake is Stage Manager, Rita MacDonald is Costumer, Orville Lewis is Lighting

Re-read Policy Not All it’s Cracked Up To Be

Recently the policy of reereading exams was initia— ted and put into effect, Then, just to show students the consistancy‘of procedure at UPEI, it fell flat on its face.

Principally, this cons sistancy manifested itself when a student asked for a re—read of an exam,then f' found out, after.paying five dollars and wading through a lot of red tape, that the examfiitself was nowhere to be foufiQ.p,lk ' 4 .

One may ask : what ;. exactly is the procedure for obtaining a re—read? Firstly, one goes to the professor and tries to reason,flatter, or cajole with him/her. This inevit—‘ ably failing (most profes— sors are immune to any of the three), one must jog over to the registrar's office and fill out the official forms, pay the official $5.00, and then — spend a number of weeksk

Reflections on Elections

'Vote, it's your right' is

the order being given by many

people’these days. Thi§§§tou me, is the kind of attitfide: that creates the follower ' type of voter. Ifla person doesn't know who to vote for, then he certainly should not vote anyway just to exercise this right. If he wants to exercise this 'right' he should become more aware of the issues and candidatés in— voled, make a decision and vote on his own initiative. Why do seniors vote for council members who will not~ be representing them? I have never heard a close-to—accep— table arguement for this. Since, more and more,‘ it appears that the voters are‘often not satisfied with any of the candidates, why not make it necessary to get a majority of the votes cast (including absterrtions) to get elected. Unfortunately a major prOblem with this is administration of the elec+- tion Since in many, if not

more than his own advantage. If a person seems to have

Unfortunately, most people

who have thought about el- ections get a general opin— ion of them being useless «and a sense of helplessness.

‘pacing, biting one's nails, or smoking heavily;Theo— retically, if the paper or

‘exam is re—read and the

mark achieved is higher than the original, the student gets a refund} If the mark remains the same or is found to be lower, the $5.00 is forfeited. Of course, the stuient does not get the exam/ paper back, nor is he/she allowed to see it. _

Now, in the particu— lar case mentioned above, the professor had destroyed the exam. A good deal of 1 letter writing from and to the various people invol- ved revealed this ridicu- lous situation———ridiculous ‘because a professor is sup- posed to keep exams for at least six months, and only three months had passed.

The student did not'get‘

a re—read, was not refunded five dollars, and the lousy mark remained.

The Cadre salutes the hard work put out by these and the rest of the SOeplus people involved in the first production of the University Theatre Commit- tee. The Committee was set up last fall to combine the efforts of all UPEI drama- tists, thereby avoiding conflicts in funding (which came through the office of the Dean of Arts). Hopefully it will be starting a trad- ition of yearly productions.

To this writer, "The Beggar's Opera" seems, more than anything else, tricky

,in many varied ways.That '

goes for getting tickets too, as the G.Doug1as Steele Recital Hall has been chosen for the pre— sentations on March 12th, 13th, and 14th.Buy advance; the missus'll kill you if she misses this one.
