Well, the route makers must mean M. Sanderson -- trailer court at 2200 hours. The rest of the route fits in witha right for a left (another mistake.)

Thank goodness for my navigator being an Islander, she kna: where it was. Hate at last! Quidcly take the reading off the odcmeter. We made it! We ran a rally! What's this? A sttxlent police'says the rally was cancelled at l o'clod<. Fly? The secretary made a mistake in typing! So they écided to cancel the rally. “What a blow out! Here we have been on the road fran 1114 and it now was 1615 —- no notice on the radio to tell us (the cums who were still out) that the rally was called off -- no one even bothered to cone out and tell us. The people who made-the route could have estimated where we were, approximately. Yet, they let us continue. Yes,‘I was in the rally. Erratic that we (the navigator and I) did the course, But deflated that 'pitwasallinvain. All I can say is, that was my first rally and shall be the last I participate in for UPEI. If you, the organizers, do not have the guts to stand up to your responsibilities and state that the mistake was on your part instead_of passing the buck off on ‘ the secretary. (By the way that excuse is an old one, at least you could have had a better one.) Mistakes in typing ’—’- why were the not proof read? Why was the route not re—driven on Friday using the master sheet and the sheets of going to the rally driverS? It cost little, but tine and effort on your part.

Dear Editor _ At the last Student ' Council meeting, I sub- mitted my resignation as Speaker of the U.P.E.I. “ Student Union. My experience as Speaker has helped greatly in providing myself with a know— ledge of the workings and the problens of our Student Union. However, because impartiality is an essential component in the position of Speaker, I was unable to take an active role in the decision making process within our Union. It is for this ., reason, combined with a desire to becone more actively involved, that I resigned. In closing, I would just like to say, that it " has been a pleasure to serve the Student Union in the capacity of Speaker. Sincerely Yours .. - Alan Hilton Dear Mr. Editor After attending the Dal-U.P.E.I. basketball game last Saturday, I became so irate that I felt I had to give vent to my anger in your newspaper. A small mmber of so- called fans seated on the stage put on such a dis- - gusting exhibition, that if not arbarrassing them-s - selves personally, certainly enbarrased me as a U.P.E.I. student. 'Ihese people felt, apparently, that it was their perogative to give a running com- mentary on the physical condition, intellectual capacity, and sexual preference of everyone involved in the gene—- players,.officials, and even statisticians. A certain amount of this is to be expected and is, in fact, a comnon occurrence but it was car— ried to a completely uncalled for extrene. I'm sure these stu- dents realize that I am ’ referring to them since they definitely stood out in the crowd. I'd like to ask them if they think they are impres— sing sctneone or if they just like to hear . their own voices. Maybe I am being oversensitive, 'but if that is the case, ‘therearealarge nunber of oversensi- tive people who also witnessed the display of poor taste. I heard a lot of other fans (guys and girls) attach a few uncom- plementary names to cont'd p.6 Capt?» slllmumae Y ‘ OPEN TDAYS A'WEEK Monday -Thursday 950-2 an.
