     The construction is being carried out by 
     
     Williams, Murphy,&MacLeod of Summerside and 
     
     Charlottetown. There are four foremen, namely 
     
     Brendon Ostridge, Vernon Snow, Bill Hicken, 
     
     and Harry Yeo. In addition to this there are 
     
     also two competent timekeepers, Hal MacDonald 
     
    

    
     ‘and Dale Cooke. Construction began last fall 
     
     and is to be completed hopefully around the 
     
     end of November. The new building, located 
     
     next to the rink is to~COmpleted approximate- 
     
     1y by the end of September. This building will 
     
     serve as a storage depot as well as for a heat 
     
     ing plant. We may not appreciate the state the 
     
     Campus is presently in but there have been 
     
     many much needed improvements made or under- 
     
     way. The underground tunnels that have been 
     
     constructed are approximately one—half mile 
     
     long and connect every building on campus. 
     
     Much to the disappointment of we students, 
     
     tunnels are to be used by maintanance only. 
     
     Numerous sewers, manholes, electric pipelines, 
     
     steam pipes, water pipes, and sanitary pipes 
     
     have made their appearance on campus much to 
     
     our delight. Resident students will be glad to 
     
     hear there is a new heating system for the 
     
     campus as well as outdoor lighting. Believe it 
     
     or not the worst is over. The tunnels are al— 
     
     most completed and once they are the holes 
     
     will be eliminated; it is hoped this will be 
     
     done before the end of September. The stabal- 
     
     izing and paving of the new sidewalks is well 
     
     underway and just in time for the influx of 
     
     approximately 1400 boisterous students. 
     
    

    
     There is a_very solid reason behind all the 
     
     torn up ground— the more open areas there are 
     
     the more crews can work and the sooner the job 
     
     will be completed. At present, there are ap- 
     
     proximately 100 men employed and soon we will 
     
     appreciate what is being done. As an added in— 
     
     terest grass will be planted in the near fu- 
     
     ture and next Spring we should have a green 
     
     campus again! _

     UPEI will never look the same again! Judg- 
     
     ing by the disaster area that once served as 
     
    
   
   
    
     a campus, this theory seems more than logical. 
     
     Grass, now only a memory, has given way to 
     
     mounds of earth, piles of concrete slabs, pip- 
     
     ing, and road machines. The probability of 
     
     improvement appears distant at this point. 
     
    

    
     Returning students will be grateful for 
     
     (definitely) small mercies. Summer session 
     
     students also had to contend with various 
     
     trenches randomly dug throughout the campus. 
     
     'One careless second of inattention could land 
     
     you up to your neck in one of the pipelines. 
     
     Pig and Whistles provided numerous casualties 
     
     but it is known that even our very sober Se- 
     
     curity Police were found dangling 12 feet un- 
     
     der to their chagrin. These traps were mostly 
     
     obliterated last week, however- enrollment is 
     
     down as it is- no need to lose a few more! 
     
    

    
     Of no less importance than danger to life 
     
     and limb are the economic considerations of 
     
     all these improvements(?). The former parking 
     
    
   
   
    
     . lot in front of Marion and Bernadine Halls is 
     
    
   
   
    
     an excellent examplr.rnpproximately $1000 
     
     worth of good pavement was ripped up only to 
     
     be replaced by almost an equal amount designad 
     
     ted as sidewalks. It is not surprising , with 
     
     brilliant economical moves such as these, thai 
     
     /PEI is financially unstable— the situation 
     
     doesn't appear to be improving! 
     
    

    
     Nevertheless, amid this grim expanse, a few 
     
     readily noteable changes are evident. The new 
     
     parking lot (well behind campus) has reached 
     
     final completion— a blessing until it's time 
     
     to get out of the car and start the trek 
     
     through snow and ice to class. This, however, 
     
     is an unavoidable hazard! The rapid advance- 
     
     ment made on the new co—ed residence is of 
     
     no small importance as well. 
     
    

    
     But whatever the redeeming qualities of the 
     
     campus construction, I doubt if they will 
     
     count for much as students slip, slide, and 
     
     glide through rich red mud to class. May ev- 
     
     ery student possess gumrubbers, old clothes, 
     
     and an unfailing sense of humour!
