What UPEI needs now

Just a. few passing camments as the year draws to anend. Firstly, I would like to congratulate the premier of the province for affirmative action towards obtaing the vet college for UPEI. I'm afraid that may be the last chance for this university to survive our bumbling administrations efforts to bury it.

Perhaps our administration will realize what a competitive business running a university is and that the lifeblood of any university is it's professors and students. To attract the student body you have to realize and fill their need for recreational and leisure activites,as well as developing their intellect.

To this end may I suggest the acquisition of two important complexes which this university is sadly lacking.

Firstly, we need a student union building which is more than a name; one than houses the | student newspaper, the student radio station, the

Student cafeteria, the student lounge, and various |

student meeting rooms along with the offices of the student council. Secondly, a sports complex is sadly lacking here. We need a building to house a swimming pool, training rooms, gyms, a building that most modern high schools now have. For a high school student

who has. enjoyed this stimulating recreational atmosphere, to came to UPEI is like stepping back I'm sure that out in the private world there are many sponsors who would love to write off sare nasty taxes by contributing the necessary funds to build these camplexes.

May corrupt our highly susceptable minds by having their name flaunted samewhere in the building.

Last camments. Why is our music department dying? Is it because of the quality of the course, or attitudes of the professors? St. F.X. seems to have the right idea in that department. In two years their music department has grown to lo times the size of ours. Maybe it would not hurt to have a look at theirs.

Why are the humanities dying, in particular sociology and anthropology? The courses outlined in the calender look good, but where have all the professors gone? On sabbatical, you say, internal strife within the department? Maybe it's time for a strong administration to help our faltering departments find their feet again.

Hint to sociology departenmnt: united we stand." See you next year.

lets get our act together guys.

Of course, we must eliminate all those associated with the demon alcohol, as they

Attention Seniors

For those of you who didn’t make it to Thursday, here’s the scoop on what you missed:

As you may or may not have noticed, Heckbert Studio has al- ready been here to take grad pic- tures. If you missed them while they were here, you can make an appointment to see them at their studio on Grafton Street.

Boily’s Studio will be here sometime this month. A sign-up sheet is available if you are in- terested. this sheet is attached to the sign on the bulletin board outside the Pit in the Breezeway. You will be notified as to the date of Boily’s sittings and the sitting fee. :

Another event which has come and gone is Ring Day. If you missed getting a ring in September, don’t worry Josten’s will be back in January for an- other chance.

In regard to Senior week, the planning is underway. The CP Prince Edward has been booked for the ball on May 11, 1990. If any interested groups or persons want a room in the hotel the same night, I suggest you book soon.

Watch next weeks Gem for de- tails regarding the Senior Week 1990 Logo contest. I’m in the midst of getting a prize or two for some creative genius our there.

Anyone who has any ideas for Senior Week please fell free to drop us a note in the suggestion slot at the information desk in the Pit. We welcome any ideas to make this the best Senior Week yet.

Volunteers are needed to work the 50/50 at the Movie Pubs on Friday afternoons. If you’re will- ing to help out, fill our a volun:

teer file or talk to one of us dur- ing the wekk.

Thanks! and if you can’t sell them buy them.
