Hello frosh, how are things? It seems time is re- ally flying by. There is only slightly over three weeks of regular classes left! You will soon have completed your first year of univer- sity. I hope this year has been a good one for you, it certainly has for me. I have realy enjoyed attend- ing classes on a full time basis here at UPEI. I hope we can all keep a positive attitude about our upcom- ing exams. If we keep our heads together, I am sure we will all fair out very well when we get our final marks.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratu- late all of the freshman who made last semester’s DEANS list. You all did a great job and deserve a lot of credit. Hope- fully all kinds of freshman will make this semesters DEANS list as well. (mom was right when she named me Dean— that’s the clos- est to the list I am likely to get! ) At any rate I am sure lots of you will make it again.

Now that spring elec- tions are over and the candidates have been cho- sen for their respective po- I would like to stress the importance of getting to know these peo- ple. These are the peo- ple that will be represent- ing your interests on coun- cil. Do whatever it takes, hound them, pester them, even threaten them. Make sure that they know your After all it is

FROLICKING FRESHMAN

feedback I have been re- ceiving from freshman ie mostly been in the com- plaint dept. (that’s OK, I like complaints— they fire me up. ) One of the major complaints is about noise in the library. This seems to be a common com- plaint among students at all levels. I have already spoken to Merritt Crockett about this and other issues. Mr. - Crockett (the head li- brarian) has told me that he to is concerned about noise in the library. He says that the problem may also intensify as 200 vet stu- dents come in to the l- brary looking for silence. Mr. Crockett says that in the future the “super quiet area” of the library may be expanded. As for the present he suggests stu- dent co-operation is neces- sary for a quiet workspace. Perhaps we as freshman can set an example in this area. the next time we get the urge to talk maybe we can go to the lounge or to a hall- way.

Another couple of stu- dents came to me and ex- pressed that they thought there was a lack of activities outside those in the barn. I tend to agree with these students, there is not to much to do if you don’t feel like going to the barn. The situation is even worse for those freshman who are un- der the age of 18. The only thing I can suggest for now is to get involved in the re- vamped intramural sports program or maybe join one of the clubs on campus such as the UPEI debating club. the future goes I think things will im- prove in this area. With your help I would person-

not necessarily in the barn. Please, all freshman think hard and suggest your ideas to councillors or the exec- utive. Im sure we can do something. So thanks ev-

erybody for your feedback. I realy appreciate it. Please feel free to talk to me about

anything. And don’t forget to talk to any other coun-

cillors as well. Good. Inck im your, studies, and have happy week, ...

THE DRINKING AGE AND FRESHMAN

As you probably know, dur-

ing the last throne speech

it was mentioned that the drinking age may be raised to 19 here on PEL. This of course would affect a great

number of students who are_

now freshman. If the legis- lation were to come into ef- fect, alynost all frosh would be unable to attend events at the barn.

The student eines} has been slightly divided as to how they should respond to this section of the throne speech. It was decided however that council would forward a letter to the PEI legislature, noting the ef-

The endowments which distinguish the human race

from all other forms of life ,

are summed up in. what is known as the human spirit; the mind is its essen- tial quality. These endow- ments have enabled human- ity to build civilizations and to prosper materially. But such accomplishments alone have never satisfied the human spirit, whose mysterious nature inclines it towards transcendence, a reaching towards an invisi- ble realm, towards the ulti- mate reality, that unknow- able essence of essenses called God. The religions brought to mankind by a succession of spiritual lumi-

This doesn’t mean, that students under age could drink, but perhaps there may be a provision for the student union to hold events such as “wet and dry” pubs. A wet and dry pub has some areas designated “wet” (serving, liquor) and other areas “dry” (no liquor). This would allow any student

No serious attempts to set human affairs aright, to achieve world peace, can ig- nore religion. Man’s per- ception and practice of it are largely the stuff of his- tory. An eminent histo- rian described religion as a “faculty of human na- ture”. That the perver- sion of this faculty has con- tributed to much of the confusion in society and the conflicts in and between in- dividuals can hardly be de- nied. But neither can any fair-minded observer dis- count the prepondering in-

Writing of religion as a social force, Baha’u’llah said: “Religion is the great- est of all means for the es- tablishment of order in the world and for the peace- ful contentment of all that dwell therein.” Referring to the eclipse or corrup- tion of religion, he wrote” “Should the lamp of re- ligion be obscured, chaos and confusion will ensue, and the light of fairness, of justice, of tranquility and peace cease to shine.”
