      If
      you
      give
      a
      human
      a
      writing
     
     
      implement,
      a
      writing
      surface
      and
     
     
      enough
      time,
      more
      often
      than
      not,
      said
     
     
      human
      will
      create
      something:
      a
      doo-
     
     
      dle.
      doodle
      -n.
      a
      drawing
      or
      mark
     
     
      made
      absent
      mindedly.
      Needless
      to
     
     
      say,
      with
      its
      abundance
      of
      paper,
      writ-
     
     
      ing
      implements,
      and
      absent
      minds,
     
     
      university
      is
      a
      hotbed
      of
      doodle
      activi-

      Everyday
      thousands
      of
      students
      at
     
     
      UPEI
      sit
      down
      in
      uncomfortable
     
     
      chair/desks
      (which
      we
      will
      call
      chesks
     
     
      for
      the
      sake
      of
      convenience)
      for
      any-
     
     
      where
      from
      forty-five
      minutes
      to
      three
     
     
      hours.
      This
      entire
      time
      is
      usually
      spent
     
     
      with
      pen
      or
      pencil
      in
      hand
      as
      we
     
     
      attempt
      to
      write
      down
      our
      professors'
     
     
      lecture
      verbatim.
     
    

    
     
      As
      good
      as
      our
      professors
      are
     
     
      here
      at
      UPEI,
      they
      cannot
      be
      expected
     
     
      to
      always
      keep
      our
      attention
      captured
     
     
      for
      the
      allotted
      time.
      If
      you
      sit
      in
      a
     
     
      chesk
      listening
      to
      one
      person
      talk
     
     
      about
      one
      subject
      for
      long
      enough,
     
     
      your
      mind
      will
      invariably
      wonder.
     
     
      That's
      what
      minds
      do,
      and
      it's
      pointless
     
     
      to
      fight
      it.
      So
      what
      do
      you
      do
      at
      times
     
     
      like
      this?
      You
      can
      take
      an
      unnecessary
     
     
      bathroom
      break.
      If
      you're
      a
      huge
      jerk
     
     
      lucky
      enough
      to
      be
      sitting
      next
      to
     
     
      another
      huge
      jerk,
      you
      can
      carry
      on
      a
     
     
      conversation
      in
      the
      middle
      of
      class,
     
     
      thereby
      revealing
      your
      mutual
      jerki-
     
     
      ness
      to
      all.
      But
      what
      most
      of
      us
      do
      is
     
     
      doodle.
     
    

    
     
      I'm
      not
      sure,
      but
      I
      think
      every-
     
     
      one
      probably
      doodles
      from
      time
      to
     
     
      time.
      They
      doodle
      on
      napkins,
     
     
      Styrofoam
      cups,
      phone
      books,
      and
     
     
      even
      on
      chesks.
      But
      what
      I
      am
      inter-
     
     
      ested
      in
      are
      margin
      doodles.
      The
      doo-
     
     
      dles
      which
      fill
      up
      the
      unused
      space
      in
     
     
      the
      notes
      which
      we
      take
      everyday.
     
     
      Whoever
      designed
      looseleaf
      paper
     
     
      knew
      what
      they
      were
      doing.
      That
      one
     
     
      inch
      of
      space
      on
      the
      side
      and
      top
      of
     
     
      our
      sheets
      is
      the
      perfect
      amount
      of
     
     
      room
      to
      let
      our
      pens
      and
      minds
      wander
     
     
      together.
     
    

    
     
      I
      save
      my
      notes
      for
      every
      class
     
     
      I
      take
      at
      UPEI,
      and
      one
      of
      the
      reasons
     
    
   
   
    
     
      for
      that
      is
      that
      I
      want
      to
      save
      my
      mar-
     
     
      gin
      doodles.
      It
      is
      my
      hope
      that
      there
     
     
      are
      others
      out
      there
      in
      the
      university
     
     
      community
      who
      also
      save
      and
      cherish
     
     
      there
      margin
      doodles.
      It
      is
      with
      this
     
     
      hope
      in
      mind
      that
      I
      and
      a
      small
      com-
     
     
      mittee
      have
      decided
      to
      put
      on
      an
     
     
      exhibit
      of
      UPEI
      student
      doodles
      called
     
     
      Margins.
      Professors
      can
      also
      submit:
     
     
      doodles.
     
    

    
     
      CALL
      FOR
      SUBMISSIONS
     
    

    
     
      Margins
      will
      not
      work
      unless
     
     
      we
      got
      lots
      of
      submissions.
      We
      are
      not
     
     
      looking
      for
      anything
      specific.
      The
      doo-
     
     
      dles
      can
      be
      large
      and
      elaborate
      or
     
     
      small
      and
      insignificant.
      They
      can
      be
     
     
      words,
      poetry,
      or
      stream
      of
      conscious-
     
     
      ness
      rambles.
      Our
      philosophy
      is,
      if
      you
     
     
      took
      the
      time
      to
      put
      it
      in
      your
      margin,
     
     
      it
      is
      of
      value,
      and
      should
      be
      displayed
     
     
      in
      this
      exhibit.
      The
      only
      criterion
      is
     
     
      that
      it
      was
      created
      while
      you
      were
      in
     
     
      class
      at
      UPEI.
      So
      go
      through
      your
     
     
      notes
      this
      semester,
      or
      from
      semesters
     
     
      past,
      and
      find
      your
      favourite
      doodles.
     
     
      You
      can
      submit
      as
      many
      as
      you
      like.
     
    

    
     
      The
      exhibit
      will
      be
      early
      next
     
     
      semester
      in
      the
      main
      corridor
      of
      the
     
     
      Student
      Centre,
      likely
      in
      February.
     
     
      Unfortunately
      there
      will
      only
      be
      two
     
     
      drop
      off
      points
      for
      submissions.
     
     
      However,
      these
      locations
      will
      be
     
     
      secure
      and
      ensure
      the
      safety
      of
      your
     
     
      valuable
      notes
      and
      doodles.
