     The 1987 Bio Club 
     
     Christmas Party proved once 
     
     again the the- 
     
     ory that man evolved from 
     
     apes. The monkey business 
     
     involved a high consumption 
     
     of liquor, the exchange of dis- 
     
     gusting gifts, and the chance 
     
     to place requests early with 
     
     Booby Clause. Thanks to ev- 
     
     eryone who came and made 
     
     the party such a success. a 
     
     special thanks to Nathalie, 
     
     the brave hostess who was 
     
     so generous as to let us re- 
     
     live Vietnam in the comfort 
     
     of her home.

     Dr. Louis Hanic for his dili- 
     
     gent contribution to the mus- 
     
     sel toxin problem in eastern 
     
     PEI. Dr. Hanic has volun- 
     
     teered countless hours to re- 
     
     searching the cause of the 
     
     toin and was actually the 
     
     first person to determine it 
     
    
   
   
    
     was diatoms. He showed us 
     
     the true meaning of dedica- 
     
     tion to one’s profession and 
     
     set a good example for all Bi- 
     
     ology students.

     It was a pleasure to see 
     
     so many students take the 
     
     National Week of action se- 
     
     riously. UPEI, it has been 
     
     estimated, may be losing up 
     
     to two million dollars a year 
     
     in government funding with 
     
     the present system of trans- 
     
     fer payments. Any science 
     
     student will tell you that 
     
     this money could make a 
     
     great difference in the qual- 
     
     ity of laboratory equipment 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     Last weeks winning 
     
     entry for the Creative 
     
     Caption Contest came 
     
     from Iain Galoway: 
     
    
   
   
    
     “The girls quickly realize they don’t stand 
     
     a chance. They haven’t worked on their biceps 
     
    
   
   
    
     enough...” 
     
    
   
   
    
     ahd experimentation on this 
     
     campus. Many faculties 
     
     don’t feel the pinch as much 
     
     as the science faculty does 
     
     because equipment becomes 
     
     obsolete quickly in this high- 
     
     tech era. If our univer- 
     
     sity is to remain competative 
     
     ‘with other universities in ar- 
     
     eas of science, we must have 
     
     funding available to attract 
     
     and promote research. Who 
     
     knows? A cure for cancer 
     
     could be found by a student 
     
     from UPEI. ;
