      My
      name
       is_
      Ryan
     
     
      McCarville
      and
      I
      attend
      Bluefield
     
     
      High
      School,
      and
      plan
      on
      attending
     
     
      UPEI
      in
      the
      fall.
      This
      article
      is
      in
     
     
      support
      of
      a
      men’s
      volleyball
      team
     
     
      at
      UPEI.
      I
      have
      been
      playing
      vol-
     
     
      leyball
      throughout
      junior
      and
      senior
     
     
      high
      and
      play
      with
      the
      current
     
     
      Canada
      Games
      Training
      Team.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      On
      the
      Island,
      we
      have
     
     
      many
      skilled
      volleyball
      players
      who
     
     
      stay
      on
      the
      Island
      and
      are
      forced
      to
     
     
      stop
      playing
      after
      their
      high
      school
     
    
   
   
    
     
      careers
      are
      over,
      which
      is
      not
      some-
     
     
      thing
      I
      want
      to
      do.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Many
      men’s
      high
      school
     
     
      teams
      are
      some
      of
      the
      best
      in
     
     
      Atlantic
      Canada,
      and
      the
      Island
      has
     
     
      more
      than
      enough
      talented
      volley-
     
     
      ball
      players
      to
      have
      a
      team
      at
      UPEI.
     
     
      I
      believe
      that
      if
      there
      is
      a
      men’s
      vol-
     
     
      leyball
      team
      at
      UPEI,
      it
      will
      benefit
     
     
      not
      only

      a
      date
      Eager
      states:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Unless
      there
      is
      some
      —
     
     
      understanding
      otherwise,
      the
     
     
      fellow
      pays
      the
      expenses.
     
     
      When
      the
      fellow
      is
      paying
      for
     
     
      tickets
      or
      a
      meal,
      the
      girl
     
     
      should
      step
      aside.
      If
      the
      girl
      is
     
     
      Sharing
      the
      expenses,
      she
     
     
      Should
      give
      him
      her
      share
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Well,
      it
      seems
      we
      have
      a
      bit
      of
      a
      trend
      here.

      volley-
     
     
      ball
      (and
      the
      lack
      thereof)
      is
      an
      issue
      that
      has
      been
      discussed
      at
     
     
      length
      by
      some
      folks
      around
      the
      office,
      so,
      we'll
      be
      looking
      into
      it
     
     
      and
      hope
      to
      be
      able
      to
      do
      a
      story

      To
      whom
      it
      may
      concern:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      I
      am
      writing
      to
      promote
      the
     
     
      idea
      of
      having
      a
      university
      men’s
     
     
      volleyball
      team.
      Having
      a
      men’s
     
     
      volleyball
      team
      at
      the
      University
      of
     
     
      Prince
      Edward
      Island
      would
      be
      a
     
     
      great
      asset.
      It
      would
      increase
      the
     
     
      interest
      of
      more
      students
      by

      know
      for
      myself
      if
      UPEI
      would
     
     
      have
      had
      a
      team
      three
      years
      ago,
     
     
      my
      decision
      on
      which
      university
      to
     
     
      attend
      would
      of
      already
      been
      made
     
     
      up
      for
      me;
      I
      would
      have
      gone
      to
     
     
      UPEI.
      I
      know
      now
      of
      many
      men
     
     
      who
      would
      jump
      at
      the
      opportunity
     
     
      to
      play
      competitive

      is

      many

      Volleyball
      is
      an
      excellent
     
     
      team
      sport,
      helping
      individuals
     
     
      work
      together
      to
      perform
      in
      unity.
     
     
      Attitudes
      fostered
      from
      volleyball,
     
     
      affect
      other
      areas
      in
      people’s
      lives,
     
     
      teaching
      them
      to
      encourage
      and
     
     
      support
      others.
      In
      addition,
      volley-
     
     
      ball
      is

      students
      improve
      in
      their
     
     
      lives
      at
      UPEI.
      It
      is
      a
      proven
      fact
     
     
      that
      when
      people
      are
      more
      active,
     
     
      their
      educational
      performance
     
     
      increases.
      Given
      this,
      would
      not
      a
     
     
      men’s
      volleyball
