Easier Examined

Dear Editor

Everyone realized the exam season is almost upon us, but I wonder if our university administration realizes that another season is upon us. The most important season in the Christian world, the Easter Season, is here. With the importance of this event, I feel the exam schedule should have been better composed. Although the university chapel is well staffed

. Apoihei’ic Dear Editor:

This is presently my 5th year at this university and never have I seen such poor response in students unwilling to get involved with the Student Union. It's a shame that the two most important positions on council be elected by aCclamation: the President and Treasurer for those of you that don't know or care.

Personally, I feel that they will do an adequate job, but should they fail, you have no One but yourselves to blame.

I for one would not like to see this happen.

and run, nothing short

of one's community and Family together at Easter is desired. With an exam on April 18th, only a few of the resident students will be able

to attend Easter worship with their families. One extra day would not have made that much difference to the exams, but think * of the differencein

Prerogative

because both the union and the university have a great deal of potential if you as students take advantage ' of what you have to work If apathy on this campus

continues to grow, the student body here is going to suffer. The union does more for you than provide a Main Event once every two weeks, but if you're willing to stand by and watch tuition, residence and other fees rise, then that's your prerogative

to Ontdo each other in, as.

they spend three-quarters of hour quibbling Over pay, while the disappearance of $425 in the first week of classes is breezed over in three minutes. the art of listening seems lost as soon as one enters the Barn

at 6:30 on Sunday evenings. concentration upon a thought to be presented excludes the current train of speech so that one perscn often repeats words just uttered by another body. one really begins to ponder the maturity

of people who spend three hours observing the antics

of a mouse trapped in a support post.

as for the executive itself - well, two out of three ‘ain't bad. to the untrained eye, "King" Brown and "Tight Wad" McAleer were the only mo bodies in activity down there in the Barn. Neil MacKenzie can owe thanks ‘ to David Brown and the Engineers for getting CIMN into the Library lounge and other obscure spots on campus. Sue Parlee seems to have quite adequately fulfilled the role of a socialite, but Imfortunately she was not elected for that job. it is a sad thought when one con— siders that the vice-:president spends more time at Gentleman Jim's than she does in the Barn.

despite balancing six courses and the job of treasurer, Johnny T. W. seems to have survived the year. granted, next year's treasurer will have more work to do as a result of the student union restructuring, he will still have a hard time filling Johnny's shoes. '

and as for Bram, well what can one say that hasn't already been said? you may bitch and complain all you want, but that guy has spent more time investigating the administration and faculty of this university than has any student of recent years. it is a damn shame that he will not be back next year to manifest some action. at least he has added some character to this place and boosted our image in other universities across the

country.

the Chairpersons of fallfest, winter carnival, and orientation, and the social committee all did their darndest to provide sate diversity at UPEI.
