terms and papers are due now. I’m so nervous that I can not sleep at all. My doctor says that I have ner- vous insomnia and says that it will go away in a week or two. Can you and the Big Guy help me out?

INSOMNIA CITY DEAR INSOMNIA;

What you require is to find a way to relax. The best way is to get down and pray or meditate. If this does not help you re- lax enough. try some sleep- ing pills. If none of these help, and there is no way you can sleep, get yourself a good boyfriend/girlfriend and invite them over for the night. You'll have a good time and if you are lucky you may fall asleep.

I’ve been brought up to believe that going to university was more than studying. I thought that you were supposed to have a good time above all else. How do you feel about this? Let’s take a poll.

UPEI is boring! And do you know why? Be- cause of you!

COUNTRIES BEYOND THE SEA

By Sam Okello

In Canada, there are various organizations that have shown concern for the conditions. of Third World refugees. A cou- ple of weeks ago, the World University Service of Canada (WUSC) spon- sored a tremendous dis- play of Caravan products at the Robertson Library Pit. Caravan, a Third World handicraft sale, was a prior- ity to help market refugee products. Such a market enables people develop pat- terns of self-reliance and meet basic needs in their struggle for political and economic self determina- tion. ;

The efforts ok those

who contributed towards :

this worthwhile project~ should not go unnoticed. It is crystal clear that the re- sponse from caring people on the Island is growing. It is resulted in UPEI faculty members and students vol- unteering in Third World Countries.

Some of these partici- pants are: Economics Pro- fessor, Walter Fobes, who while on sabbatical leave, taught at a Cooperative college in Tanzania; oth- ers are UPEI graduates, Carol Cameron, who was

in Swaziland, and Mark Smitheran, who was in Kenya. Ian Hogg is teach- ing at Technical School in Swaziland. Joe Byrne is in the Dominican Republic working on Youth for devel- opment project. These par- ticipants, and several oth- ers, have played an impor- tant role by contributing

their skills and efforts to in- -
