Winter Carnival ‘87 A tour of the festivities

by Rhonda Mclellan

“Sparkle sparkle, little twink

Who the hell you are I think

I’m not as drunk as thinkle peop I am I’ve only had ti mar-two-nies”

The dreaded test of sobriety is shown above. It was taught to me by my father (who graduated as an engineer) before I began my days at university. This test came in very handy during the week of the Winter Carnival at UPEI. My friend Sue came up from Ottawa for a visit and to partake in the planned activities. Needless to say, she didn’t think of Charlottetown or the univer- sity asa boring place... she actively participated in the festivities as if she was a pseudo-islander.

The first time she was on campus was on Superbow! Sunday when we watched the Giants (our hometown favorite) beat the Broncos without any problem. The next night was the Pandem- onium contest in the Panther Lounge which we had to miss due to the fact that studying was necessary for Tuesday classes.

After class was over on Tuesday night, we met in the Lounge for the wine and cheese “scene” that was scheduled for the students to meet the royalty. Then Michael O’Connor graced the stage with Irish folk tunes. The Lounge was full of people who were enthusiastic about the music and actively participated. The freshman representative was there to trick us all with his

trivia and to bring about a sense of team spirit among the freshman class (is that why they won so many of the trivia bonus tickets?). O’Connor came back out and played two more sets which ended off the evening in high spirits.

Wednesday night was to be the infamous Cabaret and Kloset Queen Competition but it was unfortunately canceled due to “technicalities beyond control”. This allowed us to save up our energy for the Main Event on Thursday night.

We came too late on Thursday to see the opening act for the Penguins. I did hear that this band played well and the crowd was impressed with the over all performance. I hope that I have another opportunity to hear from them again.

“And from Halifax, please welcome the Hopping Penguins’! This band which played ska-reggae based music attracted almost a full house at the Student Union Building on Thursday. The crowd was energetic and welcomed the band with a full dance floor soon after they opened. Though an interview was hoped for, these Penguins felt as if they were “on a mission of God”, as Andrew Lordley put it in simple words.

Musically, I found this band amazing... so different from the typical bands that usually play in PEI. I had heard nothing except for good reviews about the band, and they proved to be accurate. Unfortunately, the band lacked the professionalism during an interview off stage to be considered anything else but a small time band. Anyway, we had a good time despite their later idiocy, which proved that they were worth something.

Awakening on Friday morning had both Sue and I wondering how we’d ever manage in the pub crawl that was slated for that evening. Later that evening we found ourselves in the Lounge with about another one-hundred people who were listening to Stu MacWilliams explaining the rules.

We did well but failed to beat the winning team that managed to finish in only 55 minutes. Later we stuck around the Barn to watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show and also to watch the rest of the teams crawling in.

Since Sunday turned out to be a littlesnowy, Sue went homea day late filled with memories of her time in Charlottetown. She seemed to focus in on two words when asked of her stay... “exhi- larating and exhausting.”

And so, another carnival has ended but not forgotten. Many thanks go to Doug MacDonald for his hard work as Chairman of the Winter Carnival Committee. He and his Committee showed us that there is spirit at UPEL In all. the week can be summed up with one word; SUCCESSFUL.
