~ Life

On Friday, April 7th the Res- idence Life Committee held its fourth annual ‘No-Talent’ Show. This year’s show was true to its name, it definitely lacked talent.

There was a wide variety of acts, everything from Elvis imita- tions to the Rodeo Song. Some of the acts included:

— a Marian Hall version of the great Canadian game show ‘Talk About’, but some of the subjects they talked about left a lot to be desired.

- the Red Turtle Neck Gang from Bernardine Hall did their rendition of the song “The Second Stop’.

— La Femme R.A.’s strutted their stuff with Ray Charles in their lip sinc of ‘The Right Time’.

— both the R.A.’s at Bernar- dine and the House Committee at Marian had a bit of fun poked at them when the Bernardine Hall House Committee did their inter- pretation of a Marian Hall House Committee meeting and a R.A. rap song.

Blanchard Update

With the end of the school year, things at Blanchard Hall have also come to an end. the final Blanchard House Party was recently held with a great time being had by everyone who at- tended. Congratulations to Terry Doran who won $100 dollars in the Blanchard Draw.

In other news: Blanchard Hall Jackets and Sweatshirts have fi- nally arrived and can be picked up in Rm. 216. The costs are $18 for sweatshirts and $33 for jack- ets.

Elections are being held this’

week for House Committee Exec- utive for next year. Elections are Tuesday and winners will be an- nounced by Friday. -

The House Committee would like to thank everyone at Blan- chard for their support during the year. We would also like to thank the guys from Marian for the help with house parties and also Cathy Ronahan whose help we couldn’t have done without. Hopefully next year will be as successful as this year was.

EL a ee ee Report of the Debating Society VP

Several weeks ago, UPEI sent a debating team to the Cana- dian National Debating Tourna- ment at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario. This is the time of year when the Canadian university debating organization, CUSID, elects officials and de- cides on policy. As the represen- tative for UPEI, I cast our vote in the CUSID presidential election for Mr. Stephen Johnson, who was elected. Among his stated policies the private sector for uni- versity debating and the lowering of tournament registration fees, which many universities find pro- hibitive. He also expressed much

interest in helping Atlantic and Western regional universities to participate more in competition and governing CUSID. Canadian debating has long been oriented toward central Canada, and it is good to see a president express

these concerns. In speaking with representa-

tives from other “peripheral” uni- versities such as Memorial in Newfoundland, and the Univer- sity of Regina in Saskatchewan, I discovered that many of our con- cerns are shared by other univer- sity debating organizations. In particular, funding difficulties are almost universal, and there is

5 — the Shining Tap Dancers from Bernardine Hall. Though all of these acts were - very funny and entertaining, the following acts won the Hon- ourable Mentions: Truly Tasteless — Philip ‘Dog’ MacKenzie & Darren ‘Bob’ Chafe Absolutely No-Talent — ‘Wild Thing’ by Chuck & Slink Too Talented (to be in this show)- - Elvis ‘Alfred’ Presley & his sidekick Ron ‘Golden Fingers’ Wisman

Seniors/Graduates

The Senior Class “Copy Cats” Pub held on Thursday, April

6, was a wonderfully fun event. | Many people participated and

lots of blackmail pictures were taken. There is a little discrep- ancy about prizes — there were four t-shirts as prizes and Jen- nifer, the girl from “Copy Cats”, chose to pass them out at will. The prizes were never intended to be given in a first, second third order anyway.

Reminder: get your gradua- tion fees into the Registrar’s Of- fice before April 24, 1989 — De- gree $45.00, Diploma or Certifi- cate $10.00.

mit nominations and supporting

Residence

The overall winners for this event were the Sesame Street R.A.’s and their rendition of ‘Who are the People in your Neighborhood’. The members of this group included; Cathy as the lead vocalist (a bad one at that), Janice as a local pervert, Rob asa transvestite (you slut Rob), Nici and Anne as ladies of the evening, Cindy as a drug pusher, and Dave and Greg as our own residential gangsters. It must be noted that

Paul Madryga broke an all time record by entering an act in this

material to the Registrar’s Office by that date.

Terms of the award are as fol- lows:

This medal is awarded to a graduating student who has demonstrated to an outstand- ing degree qualities of scholarship and leadership within the Univer- sity community. Recommenda- tions for this award may be made by any member of the University community to the Awards Com- mittee. Winners of the Governor General’s Medals will not be eli- gible for this award.

the above-named award has been

extended to Friday, 14 April 1989. Application forms are available at the Registrar’s Office.

Special thanks should go out to our judges for this show; Jim ‘Dukie? MacDougall of the U.P.E.I. Security Force, Robert Bower of the Marriott Food Ser- vice at U.P.E.I., and some blond headed guy, Barry. Thanks to the emcees of the evening Don- ald ‘Don Won’ Gunning and Jackie ‘Big —’ Mosher and to all the other students, too numer-

consensus on the need for a strong voice from the Atlantic and the West in governing CUSID. On the official side, there was an interesting announcement of a proposal to send Canadian and American debaters to Poland to introduce debating to universities there. As well, there is interest in debating exchanges between the Soviet Union and Canada, which UPEI may be able to take part in.

In closing, I would like to return to the subject of fund- ing, which I mentioned earlier. The debating Society expresses its deep gratitude to the univer- sity administration, whose gener- ous support has eased our finaz- cial difficulties this year. I hope this report has interested you in debating at UPEI. I would like to reaffirm our invitation to all stu- dents to join the Debating Soci- ety.

Sincerely,

Bob Smith
