Its 3:00 in the morning and I can not sleep. Perhaps its the overriding sense of guilt felt from neglect of this column since December. After all, On The University Right. 15 o ten thlS campus' sole purveyor of truth and slayer of dragons. At least it is the only propagandist of truth which is just shy:of the Divine.

Much has taken place in the world since last this pen set forth from my desk (beneath my portrait of Bill Buckley) a message of gloom and docm, or another chapter in the ongoing saga of humankinds demise. Perhaps it is my insomnia- induced state of paranoia which now pervades my brain; but I feel that since December, the world has not became any more promising a piece of real estate in which to invest in 1981 than it was in 1980.

There were sate encouraging signs afoot: for example Ronald Reagan and a Republican Senate, with the G.O.P. but 26 1 seats short of a majority

in the U.S. House of

Representatives, promises

a more secure Iuture- if there remains any time to Secure a future- for the Free World over the next four years. 'Ihe rapid recovery of Jamaica from its socio—eccncmic and political malaise (con- tracted under the Marxist Michael Manle1l), due to the brillian efforts of Prime Minister Edward Seaga and the Jamaican labor Party, seems to be putting yet another nail into the already overburdened cOffin of deftmct socialism. If anyone 'is paying attention: British Prime Minister - Thatcher and German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt sounded the all-too silent anthem of Western unity

in opposition to Cammmist aggression — now if they in Moscow would only take us seriously!

Speaking of Moscow, let us now turn to the darker side of this winter's events: Red troops are still attempting to crush Islamic resistance in Afghanistan, and appear poised, ready to give similar assistance to its neighbour, Poland, as given in Hue past to East Gem‘anY: Hungary, Czech— oslavakia, and Afghanistan

For five centuries Poland has fought bravely for survival against Imperial Russians, Prussians, Austro-Hungarians, Stalinists, and Nazis, and the post war Soviet state. All those who hath dared seek Poland's demise, and will ever in the future seek ‘ EEE end, should learn from history— the brave Poles will live to play the "Polonaise" on their graves! In Red China, the "Gang of Four" trial has come

"Gang" was found guilty! Surprise, Surprise! - It seems the error of the "Great Proletarain Cultural Revolution" was their fault. - Shame, shame. Yet Mao hath been vindicated. Not being a god (like Ienin), it seems he committed sate "errors" himself in his autumn years; now he can rest in peace, or whatever it is that Camunists do once more dead than Res.

‘ However, for this critic, the most surprising and V enjoyable concert of winter carnival week was the U.P..E.I. Jazz Band's lbcital given

i last Sunday.

Under the direction of

iProf. Jim Mcmtgamery (who also doubled on the tram-

bone), the band gave us a‘

run down of some fine - sounding, traditional big band charts. Although the band's majority of tunes

were in the Basie/Nestico geneer the highlighted soloists made up for what could have been a less than exciting performance.

‘Marxist-Leninists, for now.

We have right here'in'North' America our own heat-hens in dire need of civilization. A prime candidate for this civilizing process is none other than Canada's own Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Dear, dear Pierre, what can we say? Item is such a paradox in a man who could enable Ganada with Charter and Constitution, such honorable intent, while running roughshcd over Canadian law; history, provincial sovereignty, and a whOle range of "minor" issues - like the opinions of the people who oppose the actions of a Government who would entrench their right to express their

Rowan Fitzgerald and Dennis Edell on rIlenors, Danny Reid on alto, John Barrett, Jamie Brehaut, and Perry "Mr. ' Chops" Williams on Trumpet. 'Ibny Reddin contributed sate exciting work on trombone, as did bassist , Roger Jabbour. ~ g .

I A’ most pleasant surprise was the (ladies in the group: Sue Nicholson on alto, Lynn Davidoff on baritone and Janice Dowling of Vibes. The latter, two were featured performers, Janice with "some fine vibes work on "ij Time" and Lynn with an extended version of the old Ellington” standard "Dcm't Get Armind Mich Anymore". \

For me the highlight of the evening' the lush sounding starfiard "1.191 Darlin' ". This chart was. org’inally a Count Basie - standard and the band's relaxed attitude (espec' ially the vibes) would do the old master proud.

We can all look for- ward to hearing this band ‘ a few more times before the year is out, because they do put m a show of high
