thought that we would give you suggestions on what to do in case you happen to fail your exams.

1) Book a flight to a remote island in the Pacific were there are no telephones and no mail service. Preferably, a place where there are cannibal tribes.

2) When the marks arrive in the mail, hide them and then claim that they must have gotten lost in the mail.

3) Claim that there is another student with the same name and that the Registrar’s Office must have gotten them mixed up.

4) Tell your parents that your pencil broke or your pen ran out halfway through the exam and therefore you could not finish the exam.

5) Tell them that you hung out too much with your artsy friends and that their conversation had a negative effect on your logical thinking process.

6) Blame it on the government and the economy. Everyone else does.

7) Tell them that universities no longer look at marks, they look at social experiences.

8) Invite several friends over who did worse than you when you break the news.

9) Tell them that doctors have discovered that you have a brain tumour and won’t have long to live.

10) Say to them, ‘‘I didn’t fail; the system failed me.”’

11) Incase you do pass, please tell us who you sat next to.

Quote of the week: You never catch on until after the test.

U.PE.I. Debating Teams Successful at Invitational

Welcome to the Ice Age and the dawn of a Tequila Sunrise. The UPEI Debating Club had a maximum blast at the Mt. A. Debating Invitational on November 20. It is actually quite the funny story.

Five UPEI teams competed: Trish Embleton and Garry MacDonald, Yvonne MacKean and Edward Lank, Janice Enman and Eric Chase, Andrew MacPherson and Amber Allin, and Darren Stretch and Ron MacDonald.

Trish Embleton and Edward Lank made it to the final round of the public speaking com- petition. Yvonne MacKean and Edward Lank made it to the final round in debating. Con- gratulations again, guys.

Originally, we were going to leave PEI on Saturday, but there was a grave storm. Late Friday night we mustered together. Most of us were working, so you can imagine what it was like mustering together like that. Not all of us could muster; Andrew couldn’t get off work in time. Around eleven pm we headed for Borden in our green van and in our green car. Green is the colour of the environmentally conscious, you know. Green is also the colour of the Little Mermaid’s shells, and I wore a green tie. We were down on the dock ready to get on the Boat, when all of a sudden Andrew walks by. Talk about dedication to the team. We were happy and quite surprised to see him.

We crashed in Aulac and all that was left was the one-star motel. We were too itchy to sleep so we ended up having pillow fights until

our bodies fell asleep for us. I in my body condom (sleepingbag) was ready for anything, more ready than Ron who shouted, ‘‘No! Garry, No!’’. Eric was brave enough to go for a Coke at the peak of the storm. He didn’t have a key to the room when he came back, and he ended up waking us so he could get back in.

The next morning we mustered at the Irving for breakfast before heading to Mt. A. Debating details are inside jokes, but I can tell you some of the great topics we faced: -You must eat Chunky Soup with a spoon, rather than a fork. -It’s better to be reincarnated as a cat than a dog. -Canadian school systems should control teen labour.

After the tournament Mt. A. was gracious enough to hold a little “‘reception’’ for us. We were all impressed with the hospitality and had a very good time. If anyone is interested in debating, our meetings are held on Tuesday evening in the Alumni Gym at 7-9 and Fridays in the Kelly Bldg at 1:30-2:30.

Next time we will be sure to take a camera, but a special thanks must be given to the artist’ who was able to capture the events in watercol- our.

The University of Prince Edward Island and the Women’s Centre Steering Committee cordially invite Faculty, Adminstration, Staff. and Students to a reception to mark the official opening of the University of Prince Edward Island Women’s Centre

Most people think there’s only one way to help the developing world. We have 26.

You'd be surprised at what 26 letters can do for people in developing countries. They can mean food security, good health and

job opportunities because they can provide knowledge and skills through education.
