,CARRELFEVERH

Picture this: 'a human ,snakechain that was so long that it rewrapped itself three times. That was the scene last Tuesday morning at the Robertson Library. It was not‘a pretty sight. Hundreds of ’ over-eager students were jumping at the opportunity to grab a second home. In case you were wonder- ing what the long line was about, those students were signing up for what is called a “cartel” (strange name, isn’t it?). A carrel. is one of those large yellow metallic boxes that you find all over the i library. _ i There are two types of carrels: Assigned cartels and

unassigned carrels. The as- '

signed carrels were signed out to the first 191 keeners who got up early on Registration Day. These people then swift- ‘ 1y took off to their new homes to “procure” a shelf, and to decorate it completely. The. unassigned carrels are for anybody’s use. There are ‘r 109 of them throughout the

library. You can find some of these carrcls near the maga- zine racks on the main floor, and there are even more up- ' stairs in thef‘flock of carrels”. There is presently a list of 54 people waiting for the assigned carrels. Therefore, if you don’t think that you will use your cartel; or if you don’t like it’s location; or if you have any other sort of obscure reason WHY you wouldn’t use your carrel:

please inform the library staff of your decision to give up

your cartel — better luck«:- 7 .

next semester!

For all of those people who

did get a cane] that they like; ’

cheer it up! Slap it with pic- tures of your favourite sport, your girl/boyfriend, Por- sches, koala bears, Ziggy, humourous signs, gorgeous girls/handsome guys, or even MILKll Happy cartels lead to happy students, which then leads to happy grades.

Before next semester go with some friends and scout ahead before registration day to find the cartels that you want. Anyone who has a carrel now will also have to re-register. This year, I came at 7:30 a.m., to the library and there were already twenty- five people in front of me, so use your judgement accord~ ingly for next semester. See

Scholarships are in jeopardy

Freshmen who backslide during their first year may run a higher risk next year of los-

"‘ing‘ their" f'tI‘I Intuition“

scholarships at UPEI.

A motion to raise .the average required by freshman students to retain their scholarships from 75% to 80% will be debated Friday by the university Senate.

“We really have no hard position on this," said Mike Hennessey. chair. of the Scholarship Committee, which proposed the motion after “two or three years of discussion".

About 90 scholarships are offered to incoming first-year students each fall. and about 30% of the recipients have averages between 75% and 8 ‘Iia in that year. said Hen- nessey.

In future. ifthe motion pas-

ses. those students will be out'

of luck.

“The first year of university is tough on freshmen. es- pecially those pressured to achieve high marks,” said Student Union President (iordon Cobb. ‘

He pointed to a section of the Scholarship Committee report on the proposal, which reads, “The marginal scholarship student and the late bloomer will suffer because of this.” v

The report also contained the following points in. sup- port of the raise in scholarship requirements:

I. Several additional scholarships will become available to students (from, other years) in the 85% category. .

2. in times of grade inflation, an average of 80% is not seen to be too high.

3. The higher requirement

marginal_students...and to the

top students to seek even higher marks."

Presently scholarships are awarded to' incoming freshmen on' the basis of high school marks. and. for the higher aWards. interviews.

If more scholarships were lost by freshman students after the first year, the money would be distributed among students in the same year.

There is no planned reduc- tion in the total amount of scholarship money available. under the new requirements.

Staff in the Registrar‘s of- fice are now compiling statistics on the number of

students who. after earning an averageof between 75"}; and 80“}: in the freshman year, raise their marks substantially in subsequent years.

If that percentage is high,

.student Senators say. they

will have proof that the extra leeway given freshmen is necessary, and will oppose the Scholarship Committee mo- tion.

And the reaction of one freshman student who’s on a scholarship that may be doomed?

“They can't do that. That's mean!"

Lost amid piles of altered images

Formed unconsciously out of desire, Searching inward, sifting through vestiges, The memories, remains, charred from the fire.

Reflecting — a time, a place, two lovers, Lost in a daze, a' fairytale romance; Shutting out the world, barring all others, We were the innocents, oh so entranc ed.

We, so young, so vibrant, ready to fight, Demanding our way without exception; So quickly our courage turned into fright. As we learned no one receives exemption.

And so life goes at its own little pace,

And I, I continue to shed my tears,

Each day I still yearn for your darling face, And cry more and more with each passing year.
