self.

UPEI does not offer any practical physical ed- ucation courses, my opinion, I think it should. As it is now, stu- dents wishing to engage in any physical fitness ,activ- ity must do so off cam- pus, such as joining an aer- obics class or a racquetball club. Rather than going through all this hassle, it would be more convenient if

Dear Editor,

First I want to say what a fine papet you have. It is great for the university.

My problem this week is the ‘no food or drink” rule in the library. A lot ignore it, my- self included. I suggest we get rid of the rule. can we study without en- ergy? clean up their mess, what

So, if the snow is in your. way PICK UP A SHOVEL - it won’t kill you.

As for the resulting puddles and slush from all of the warm weather we’ve been having:

What would you like the maintainance workers to do? Suck it up with straws?

The people who did work on snow removal this winter should be cheerfully thanked for the good work they did. How many of us would be willing to get up EARLY in the morning to plow away snow from a parking lot so that the peo- ple still in their warm beds will have a place to park af- ter yet another snowstorm.

Let’s try to help our maintainance workers stead of criticizing them.
