Both teams displayed skillful argumentative skills but. the audience leaned toward the negative team, and by a show of hands judged Barry and Shel- ley as the winners. It was an enjoyable event due to the good natured and dramatic presen- tation of these brave debaters. The Committee wonld like to thank Rochelle Gallant acted as Moderator for the de- bate.

activities highlighted much of the week due to the high level of student participation, and triggered a lot of spirit on the campus. It is, however, the wish of the UPEI CFS .Com- that the
out of context
mittee event is not
taken and is viewed as it was intended a light-hearted display about se- rious funding problems that ex-
ist in almost all post-secondary
institutions across the country.
Many. people were involved in
these events and all deserve mention; although, due to lim- ited space we are only able to
note a few:
