NOVEMBER 7, 1969 .

I By Rick Hancox

For those who have already approached me with leads for creative material, and for those with work in progress, I repeat the following:

This column is intended as a forum for Island writers, musicians, actors, film-makers, and artists, in which everyone is invited to submit written ma terial Whether it is creative or simply informative. For example, if you or your group is planning a play, a musical, a recital, a poetry reading, art exhibit, or film screening, submit the information to me IN WRITING and you will find the column extreme- 1y valuable as a bulletin board.

For thestudent body in general, I invite your comments and criticisms of films, art exhibits, plays, and poetry readings which will take place on and off campus, as well as your reactions to the opportunities —— or lack of them — in the crea- tive and performing arts in general. You are also welcome to criticize any material which appears in this column.

Write care of HURRY UP PLEASE IT’S TIME, 143 North River Road, City, or deliver writ- ten material to me in person. One thing I must stress, however, is that this page is open to all students and faculty. I do not intend to make it simply a private reflection of my own thoughts, nor to restrict it to the esoteric debates of a pr1v1leged few. However if your creative thoughts, critlcal comments, and bulletin notices are not written down on paper and DELIVERED to me, this W111 happen.

Union of the weakest develops strength

Not wisdom. Can all men, together, avenge

One of the leaves that have fallen in autumn? But the wise man avenges by building his city ‘

in snow.

‘ - MIXED MEDIA Confederation Art Gallery Director Moncrieftf

Williamson announced this week the Gallery Will '

be the scene for a “happening” sometime in Feb- ruary. Plans are now underway for the happening, and indications are it will be similar to the env1ron- mental experiments many other art galleries and universities are sponsoring throughout Canada this year. Mr. Williamson, whose U.P.E.I. Art Hlstory course has grown from 8 students just three years ago, to almost 50 now, said the Gallery should .be made available to university students 1n th1s 1n- formal way more often. “It especially would be interesting”, he said, “to see what our mus1c studs ents have to offer in relation to the Art students of Holland College”.

Mr. Williamson has already proved successful the informal use of the Art Gallery environment with Tuesday night’s poetry reading by John Rob- ert Colombo, during which the audience was invit- ed to sit on the carpet and relax. “In this way there was an intimate relationship with the poet and the audience”, said Mr. Williamson, “and the success of the venture leads me to believe we should do this more often.”

U.P.E.I. FILM SOCIETY

Finally in Prince Edward Island we have a University Film Society. No more W111 students be ¥est1icted~ to the Confederation Centre Film Soc- letY’s one foreign film a month. No longer must We put up with the F—grade Hollywood! puke the Capitol Theatre throws at us so often. No longer 510 We have to witness the kind of films which ex1st, 11} the first place, only because the name of a par- tlcul'ar star carries a certain amount of prestlge.

As students we can feel proud for what we halve accomplished: the UPEI Film Society was con- ceived by students and totally financed by stud- ents. For this reason non-students will be charged

an admission of one dollar and students will be'

let in free. All other students 50c.

The only exception will be a special week-end of. films Noyember 21-23, where the general public will be Oharged' an admission of $2.00 and studnets Wm be admitted at half-price. The gate returns W111

UNIVERSITY'OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

The Puerto Rican Goddess Thinks She’s Alone as She Rubs Her Thighs Beneath my Window ........ ..

(Let me cream all over your feathery down your feathery down all fuzzy and brown)

Take off your pants! Take off your pants!

The British are

Co‘ming Take off

Your pants let me

Grind your nipples and suck out the blood suck out the blood and swallow it down let me

Charge and. bombard with my throbbing

Hot tyrant

Until your belly becomes a

Fire hydrant let me

Grind and scrape til I hollow

Your spine let me

Ram and scream till my hydrant goes nuts

All creamng and squirting and jerking insant

Pumping the juice till it blows in your gusts

To the ends of your flesh

To the ends

Of

Your veins; _

You lie there

your full tummy touching mine like a feather.

You are a waterfall. Your belly is bubbling.

I am an icicle. My body is breaking.

Your body is boiling. Why are you shivering?
