SOON, IT WILL be Spring Break - time to relax and get caught up on some of that work you let slide over the past 1 1/2 months that seemed to just fly by. Unfor- tunately, there are some peo- ple in Bernardine that just can’t make it home for the Break for various reasons. So

if you live close by, why not take’a friend home with you for a few days. You’d be suprised how much a change it is from being cooped up in Residence!!

As we speak now, there are probably a lot of peo- ple suffering from hangovers

Hall Happenings

by Sean MacIntosh

Although it has had its moments of illrepute, Mar- ian Hall is still a great place to live. If, that is, you can put up with a few things... Those wonderful things that we, the residents of Marian Hall, must put live with ev- ery day of our stay at the University of Prince Edward Island.

1) The broken toilet in the second floor girls wash- (It has been broken since an unfortunate acci- dent occurred on the 17th of October) The proper forms were filled out by the proper persons and yes the men from maintenance did come in one day last semester and look at the broken pieces ly- ing on the floor. But still it was not fixed.

room.

2) There is nothing more pleasant than going out into the hall during a power fail- ure to see that it is just as dark out there as it is in your room because the wonder- ful emergency lights that line the halls and stairwells are broken and have not worked in as long as anyone can re- member.

3) When its snowing out- side and the temperature is - 20 degrees, it is nice to know that your heat works. And that is the case with rooms

314 and 204. It has had the heat turned on full blast since the thermostat fell off the wall in September.

4) Down the hall from 314 (the ever heated room) is the never heated room. It contains the guys who wake up every morning with a cov- ering of frost on their beds. The one good thing about that room is that they don’t have to use a refrigerator.

6) The bathroom at the south bathroom on the sec- ond floor of the building has two showers. One with a shower curtain, one without. It sometimes gets embarrass- ing when the broken door on

and certain personages of the opposite sex walk by. Students at Marian Hall pay on an average of $2500 per semester for residence and tuition. This is a large amount of money for a stu- dent to pay. Especially if the conditions in which they live are as poor as they are at Marian. No matter how much they try, the residences cannot get anything done. They have tried forms, tele- phone calls and all else to get someone to do something about the above mentioned grievences and still nothing is fixed. What else can we do?!
