There was also the very prestigious Memorial Award that was given to a competing individual who showed the most sportsman-like conduct to his follow com- petitors though the support and encouragement that was shown. This award was proudly presented to Charles Dowling, who works with U.P.E.I.’s Security Department at Blanchard Hall.

But before things were over, there were some words mentioned that ‘‘Iron Haven Gym’’ located in Alberton, P.E.I. was planning and would like to be the host of another event like this one to be held sometime around March of 1992.

Congratulations and thanks to all the lifters and the supporters who showed up.

STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAMS

Now that we’ re getting back into the swing of things, it’s time to start seriously considering a student exchange program. Ifyou had at least a 70% average in 5 courses this past semester, your are an eligible candidate.

Just as areminder, we currently have four exchange options: Muskingum College (New Concord, Ohio), University of South Florida (Tampa, Florida), East- ern New Mexico University (Portales, New Mexico) and Dundee University (Dundee, Scotland). I also have information on some other universities which we may possibly be able to set up as exchange options for the future.

Anyone participating in an exchange [pays the regular U.P.E.I. tuition and residence fees. The only extra expenses are a $100 fee to participate, passport and visa fees (approximately $50 total) and still valid. So contrary to popular belief, one does not need bea millionaire to participate.

For more information, drop by Student Services to see me. My new hours are:

Monday and Wednesday 8:30-11:30a.m.

Friday 12:30-4:30 p.m.

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS IS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14.

Take it from me, a student exchange is an excellent opportunity. Don’t pass it up.

ACTION COMMITTEE PRO- POSING PLAN TO REMOVE RESTRICTIONS--

Charlottetown -- the ‘‘PVYn’’ Action Committee is drafting proposals to remove restrictions on the marketing of Prince Edward Island potatoes in North America. The Action Committee met on Tuesday, January 14 to continue its discussions on the eradica- tion program. The most important item on the agenda was proposal to replace the existing quarantine on Prince Edward Island seed potatoes which prohibits their planting in Canada and the U.S.A. with a man- agement plan for the PV Yn which include the estab- lishment of infected zoned. These ‘‘zones’’ would be similar in principal to the zones which are currently in existence for management of Bacterial Ring Rotin potatoes in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. Through the utilization of ‘*zones’’ which delineate areas of high risk for PV Yn in Prince Edward Island, it is proposed that any material which was produced outside these high risk zones and tested negative for PV Yn would be eligible for marketing anywhere in Canada and the U.S.A. with no restrictions. This proposal is being developed for the consideration of the Plant Protection Division of Agriculture Canada and is expected to be forwarded to Ottawa by Jan. 24, 1992.
