One of the programs that has contributed most to the recent revival of CBC radio has been "This Country in the Morning." Peter Gzowski, long time co—host of the program has recently comr piled a fascinating melange of things that have in and around and on the program entitled (what else?) Peter
_Rospect-Uh...Duh?
I am utterly amazed at the total lack of re- spect shown in a suPposed— ly higher institution of ' learning. Surely students who are enroled at U.P.E.I. should have by now (beingw between the ages of 17—24) W gotten over their childish pranks of distruction and lack of respect for their fellow man, but ALAS such is not the case.
Just a few examples out of the very many vis—' ible signs of this child— ish, immaturity which oc- curs frequently at U.P.E. I.
The Barn —- some stu— dents feel a necessity to g create instant air condit- ioning so for lack of some— thing better to do, they put their fists through the walls. They also have be- come interior decorators at the Barn. Leather isn"t in this year (or so they'
say) so the leather is ripe ‘

in the Panther Lounge. An- other interesting revelat— ion is that the people who, are pool sharks insist on having a bit of a challenge,
_so they remove Cues, balls,
and tear the tables. However there are a few of us around who don't like air conditioning since winter is rapidly setting in and there are a few of us around who like leather even though it'iSfiltiin

Gzowski's Book About This Country in the Morning. This book deals with ev— erything, and I mean every- thing from recipes, close wine to plots for"The Great Canadian Novel", frOm word games to conversations with P.M.'s,-from songs to hop—' scotch, from hockey to letters from listeners.
and there are a few of us around who are not pool .sharks and who don't like added challenges in the
game. V Since the price of
books are so outrageously high - we have a "HELP YOURSELF TO BOOKS" service in the Cafeteria every meal‘ time. Students see a book they need lying unprotected by its owner - so they help themselves. Ever consider asking the person who owns it, if you may borrow it for a little while?~ You may justify your actions by stating your poverty. However, who isn't poor these days.
‘ Just one more example, I won't want to bore you. Memorial Hall — commonly known to all as THE ZOO and rightly so has decided to break a few windows in the door as you enter. This is understandable as animal' .cages can be so confining after you have been cooped up for awhile. I quéss they decided that some 7 outside air would help to remedy this situation.
V‘We also have ashtrays kick—_
ed off the walls by our frolicking but loveable animals. Oh yes — we must- n't forget about stealing. You know how fun loving apes likesto take things
-— - — so hold on to those
pocketbooks or whatever, apes will be apes.
Like its topical variety
v the emotional variety is
unparalleled. One article (can you call the show
\blurbs that make up this
book anything else) will — be jovial and happy, the next sad and drear, a third intense and thought, the next essentially meaningless. Meaningless, stripped of its negative connotations, is indeed, a word which
fmight be used to describe “the entire book. To quote
the author "there is no logical sequence...and A scattered throughout are little things that have no relationship whatever tor
,what they're near. But
then again in its very meaningless paradoxically, there is meaning if mean- ing (truth?) is beauty. For unlike almost any book I have ever read, this one evokes a feeling of being a literary collage and the beauty, the delight that
