left until final exams and 34 days -

1 am happy to report that my attendance at the Canadian Federation of Students Conference was successful. Along with deal- ing with the general business of the organization I had an op- portunity to participate in a meet- ing with a representative of the Canada Student Loans Plenary Group, this is the body that makes policy recommendations to the minister responsible.

CFS has an annual campaign addressing some issues of student concern. This year’s campaign is centered around “Student Aid" and government cutbacks of post secondary education. Watch for upcoming campaign news and highlights. Big in financial .aid news during the past week is, the Student Loan Appeals Board met and has decided to examine some areas of the Student Loan Pro- gram for possible change. 1f any- one has any definite thoughts on revisions to the program please drop by and talk to me as it will better help me identify areas that could be more effective to stu- dents.

MAPUS

What‘s New Besides Term Papers?

There was a potluck Wed.,

Nov. 20 in the Mapus Room at Bernardine Hall; which, by the way, is open all day to any part- time or mature students to study, relax, chat or eat lunch. You are more than welcome!!!

A presentation will be made to Student Union Sunday evening to make aware our Mapus concerns.

The Beaver-brook Foundation has given the University of New Brunswick $25,000.00 per year for 10 years to provide scholarships and awards for part-time students.

The current regulations and- time limit to complete a degree has been changed to read as follows —— Students are strongly

urged to complete their degree

requirements within 10 years from

the date of their first registration.

Students who do not complete. their degree(s) within a ten year period from the time they begin their university studies, will have their transcripts re—evaulated and are cautioned that courses over ten years old may be deemed inapproriate in a current degree program and may require sub- stitution. _

Mapus is still in need of class representatives. If you do not have one in your class and would like to keep in touch with us, please called Olive Bryanton at 566—3388 (w) or 675-3357 (h).

Often when people hear of the

Baha’i Faith they are reminded‘of ’

the persecutions in Iran which have been going on for the past 143 years. _The question often arises, why dOn’t the Baha’is fight back or recant their faith for a couple of hours. There is a limit- less amount of reasons why they (Baha’is) would rather endure the imprisonment, torture, and execu- tion, then recant.

It is different for each person. One explanation cannot be held true for the 20,000 plus Baha’is in Iran who have died. In view of this obstacle, the ABS at UPEI would like to offer the following as a possible explanation, or reason, however weak the attempt

'may be. ,

‘,Bahai

Baha’i: see that the world is slowly and painfully, but inevit— ably headed towards global unity. The source of this belief stems from the concept.of the way in whichGod acts in human affairs. The main motive force in the social and moralrevolution of the human race has been the succes- sive interventions of The Mes- sengers of God, who have tradi—

tionally been regarded as the founders of separate religions — Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Christ, Muhammand, for example — are seen by Baha’is as one in purpose and spirit. “This is the changless Faith of God, eternal in the past, eternal in the future.” If one takes a look at the evolution of human society, they would notice that it

has evolved from the concern being that of the family, to the tribe, and then to the nations as a result of the teachings and in- fluence of the Messengers. Baha’is see the next stage is that of the world being united. Baha’is also see that the intervention of God’s '

,Messengers has not ended, but has

continued with the coming of Baha’u’llah in Persia during the mid 1800’s. For Baha’is in Iran, ' or for that matter, throughout the world, to recant would be tant- amount to saying, “No, God boke His promise, He did not ful- fill His prophecies, He lied.”
