Psych club news
In September of 1987, the Psychology Club was ressurected from the grave it had occupied for several years. At that time, the active members had decided not to attempt to achieve the status of a “true” club in the eyes of the Student Union (this includes cre- ating a constitution and having it approved). Due to time com- mitments all around they choose to have a revolving executive who would share the responsibilities of each post. This worked well for most of the year and allowed the people involved to gain valuable experience in the running of such an organization.
This year, however, we feel the time has come to begin putting down roots. Many of the present members who have worked at keeping the club going will be graduating in May. Thus, it is important that this year’s
‘frosh, sophomores, and juniors
get involved in what goes on in the ground floor of Memorial. At the last meeting, held Monday, October 31st, it was decided that a group of five members, includ- ing one first-year student and one junior, would set about drawing up the club’s constitution. In addition, club executive nomina- tions and elections will be held during the next meeting, sched- uled for Monday, November 14th, in the Psychology Lounge.
Among the things which were discussed at the first meeting as projects for the year are a movie pub, a car wash in the spring,
a volleyball team, and club t- shirts. Other suggestions are wel- come, so come to the next meet- ing and get involved. We want to hear from you!
Students Attend Science Conference
This weekend, two students from the Math and Computer Science Department attended the APICS (Atlantic Provinces Council on Science) conference at TUNS. It started on Friday morn- ing with a programming compe- tition where Chris Vessey placed second out of almost forty par- ticipants. These participants in- cluded third, fourth and fifth year Computer Science majors from all over Atlantic Canada. These students were presented with four problems to solve in seven hours, at the end of which only fifteen had submitted solutions, six of which were accepted as the cor- rect solutions to the problems, and of those three had to be se- lected as the best solutions of those submitted.
The following day, the par- ticipants and the professors that accompanied them were invited to attend a series of informa- tional meetings intended to in- troduce new concepts to students and professors, such as new lan- guages, or research currently be- ing carried out, as well as to shed some more light on older concepts such as the coop program.
In all it was an informative and interesting weekend that al- lowed students from different uni- versities to share ideas and ex- periences, and for professors to meet old friends or make new ones. The two day conference was attended by students Chris Vessey and David MacKinnon
“and professors Wayne Cutcliffe
and Stephen Howard.

Dear Shit-for- Hirai:
After reading your letter, I myself experimented with my neighbour’s cat (which I can’t stand). After several tosses, I have concluded that if you throw a cat at a wall instead of the ground, it will not land on its feet. I found this to be the case whether or not I had stapled the bread to the cat’s back. As for the height, I found that above apout § stories, it didn’t matter whether the cat did in fact land on its feet.

Dear Horny,
I’m confused about the defi- nition of what an Artsie is. I thought an Artsie was a person who took Political Sciences, or a twit with a dick length less than 2 inches. However, after reading your page (View from the Top), I had the impression that all non- Science students were referred to as Artsies. Being a Buisness stu- dent (Frosh), I became worried. Please define for me what an Art- sie is, and if Iam one, is there any hope for me.

Dear Confused,
If I were a Business Frosh, I would be worried too. Face it “Permutation Face” you’re just another Artsie Scum. Sorry kid.
