I see we have a new title for the old column. Actua- lly, they're the same wor- ds but in different graph- lCS. Kinda nice...makes you feel wanted. We missed a week two/weeks ago beca- use there was no room, and then last week, our week before column went in, so
(we are in the process of trying to right things.
The old grandstand took a beating during the Acad- ia and St. Mary's games. All that noise and hopping around and stuff. The old structure almost wasn't up to the task, but it survi- ved. And about the mud... Pity poor Bernie Mullaly!
Mullaly is one of U.P.E.I.s
finest...a security cop. He was standing in the mud minding his own business during the SMU game, when a horde of delerious Pant- her fans decended from the

lantic cup conference sit- ting silently in the cafe— teria at supper after the Acadia game, while Mike Catini lead the revels in- to the night. Hee Hee Hee! Does one good after never coming within 35 points of Acadia in one's four years of varsity basketball. Ta- ke THAT, Axmen!!!
How would you feel if you were a university chaplain, and they ripped 5/6 of the pews out of your chapel? Rotten "they", they'll do it every'time! By the way, the pews in the chapel are what Ken MacNeill was tale
king about last week in that article about Sussex University (?). Could have been a secret plot by the Cadre proof readers, after Kenny had attacked E1 Edi- torio in the article above that one. But probably not.
That only happens in the movies and in Washington.
The Name the New Residen- ce Contest is moving along at the same pace as every- thing else around here. A . Apparently Moran and Came- mnhmefmmdemhoflmr (always knew they would), but they haven't found us. Wait'll next week!!!
The Boo of this week goes to every organization on campus (takes in a few fo- lks this time) for not ha-
ving the sense to check
,before they schedule some-
thing to see if anything else is going on. Last we- ek on one night at the sa- me time we had "The Taming of the Shrew" showing in Duffy, FOUR Student-Facul- ty Mixers, The Education Party and the Freshman Sk- ate. BOOOOO!1!!! to all of us responsible

stands around him, and st- arted doing a war dance in the mud. Splat splat Splat! Mullaly is now standing 4 under six inches of mud all over his body,and if he . doesn't move quickly (for him), he might be there for six months in a cast of mud° But Mullaly came through, and made the big effort to move six steps, and in the process shake some mud off him. In so doing, UPEI lost a big ch- ance for their firs comme- morate monument. What a statue he would have made!
, Sometimes we wish he hadn't moved.
And hurray for Mickey Pl- ace for getting his hat back. Could have blinded three or four people with the glare of the winter ' sun close upon us.
I'll always remember this football season, if only for the sight of the 15 Acadia delegates to the At-

Don Pridmore touched upon a very crucial subject in his criticism of controve- rsial articles. I won't attempt to cut him to shr- eds as he suspects might be the likelihood, merely some things he said.
In his comments upon edu- cational institutions and systems he claims the rea- son for the untenability of the "liberal doctrine" is its unrealistic assess- ment of man's character. Besides presenting this s supposed vieWpoint in a s snmewhat belittling way, he appeals to our inner acknowledgement that man's character, in spite of wh- at liberals claim, is "ob- viously" not good, implyi— ng it's on the bad side. One could point out the fact that man has managed to kill 110 million of his own kind in this century alone (thus far), making it appear that mankind is hopelessly homocidal,suic- idal and terricidal. Yet the question to me is not one of hazy ambiguities, such as "good" or "bad", or even of character or nature.
This subject is hopeless-
ly complex for one article, yet it'provides the key for
a whole host of perplexing social and individual ills which seem to defy unders- tanding or remedies. This is due, I may suggest, to a tendency to isolate a ‘ phenomenon and study it in itself. Or, daring to see it as a part of a system
or a system of systems, ta-
ke it to arbitrarily sele— cted bounds (usually based upon convenience). This ’

‘1ends to a simplicity, but [also to false solutions. In this particular case, the conclusions popular for the observation of ma- n's horrenddus talents is, as Don Pridmore suggests, in a non—specific charact- gg of man; or, as Konra Lorenz suggests, in an in- stinctive, agressive natu- 3g of man. However, beyond superficial appraisment, this tells us nothing nor offers usxany solution to a pressing need.
If one takes the problem of man's dominant tendency to destroy and follows it” to its logical limits, and
relates its various manif- estations (crime, social decay, advancing weaponry and death technologies, personal agressions, etc.), one senses an underlying unity to them. And this in- cludes the subject of edu- cation and the apparent NEED to externally motiva— te and instruct one needi- ng to learn. This unfortu- nately leads me to a some- what technical discussion. Science and technology”ho- lds in its possibilities not only Frankensteins, but a crucial tool for our Su- rvivalo The pessible key to our problem is to be f found in physics, or more specifically, in the seco- nd law of thermodynamics, under theory of entropy. This theory states simply that any (isolated) system tends to greater disorder over time. The complex re-~ verts to the simple, and more and more energy beco-‘ mes less and less usable.
