      THIS
      GAME
      IS
      SILLY!
      A
      bunch
      of
      guys
     
     
      running
      up
      and
      down
      the
      field.
      Now
     
     
      what
      we
      need
      here
      is
      Water
      Polo!
      No,
     
     
      really.
      Think
      of
      it.
      The
      university
      could
     
     
      build
      us
      all
      a
      pool,
      it
      would
      probably
     
    
   
   
    
     
      cost
      about
      the
      same
      as
      forty
      football
      -
     
    
   
   
    
     
      jerseys,
      and
      then
      we
      would
      have
     
     
      another
      intervarsity
      sport
      that
      both
     
     
      men
      and
      women
      can
      play.
      Since
      water
     
     
      polo
      only
      consists
      ofa
      handful
      of
      players,
     
     
      the
      university
      would
      only
      have
      to
      buy
     
     
      a
      few
      pairs
      of
      briefs,
      a
      goal,
      and
      a
     
     
      rubber
      ball...
      Hey,
      they
      could
      just
      use
      a
     
     
      volleyball!
     
     
      This
      way,
      instead
      of
      having
      just
      forty
     
     
      people
      play
      one
      sport,
      they
      could
      have
     
     
      a
      team
      of
      ten
      or
      so...but,
      they
      could
     
     
      also
      use
      the
      pool
      to
      form
      an
      inexpensive
     
     
      swim
      team,
      play
      more
      intramurals,
      host
     
     
      swim
      meets.
      The
      list
      is
      endless.
      And
     
     
      even
      in
      the
      summer,
      where
      football
     
     
      jerseys
      and
      players
      don’t
      get
      much
     
     
      action,
      the
      pool
      could
      be
      a
      welcome
     
     
      home
      for
      many
      UPEI
      students.

      mean,
      like
      “ICEMAN”
      said,
      the
     
     
      NFL
      is
      on
      TV.
      You
      go
      home
      and
      see
     
     
      that.
      Water
      polo
      is
      never
      on
      TV...
      this
     
     
      would
      surely
      be
      a
      great
      change...and
      a
     
     
      less
      expensive
      one!

      X-Press,
     
    

    
     
      |
      would
      like
      to
      respond
      to
      a
      certain
     
     
      individual’s
      letter
      on
      school
      spirit
      here
     
     
      at
      U.P.E.1..
      It
      seems
      that
      this
      person
      is
     
     
      quite
      ignorant
      in
      a
      few
      areas
      where
      he

      obviously
      feels
      that
      he
      is
      quite
     
     
      knowledgeable.
     
    

    
     
      |
      am
      a
      soccer
      player,
      and
      |
      am
      very
     
     
      proud
      to
      play
      for
      the
      Panthers.
      Soccer
     
     
      is
      the
      only
      team
      sport
      that
      |
      am
     
     
      interested
      in,
      and
      yet,
      you
      will
      find
      me
     
     
      Out
      supporting
      other
      Panther
      squads
     
     
      such
      as
      basketball,
      hockey,
      volleyball,
     
     
      rugby
      and
      field
      hockey.
      Why?
      Simply
     
     
      put,
      |
      am
      proud
      to
      go
      to
      U.P.E.I.
      and
      |
     
     
      like
      to
      show
      my
      support
      for
      our
      teams,
     
     
      no
      matter
      what
      |
      think
      of
      a
      particular
     
     
      sport.
      In
      short,
      you
      could
      say
      that
      |
     
     
      know
      what
      it
      means
      to
      possess
      pride
      in
     
     
      one’s
      school.
     
    

    
     
      It
      would
      seem
      that
      some
      individuals
     
     
      don’t
      really
      understand
      what
      school
     
     
      spirit
      is
      all
      about.
      They
      would
      readily
     
     
      show
      support
      for
      one
      particular
      team,
     
     
      and
      not
      another.
      This
      is
      very
     
     
      hypocritical
      and
      odd
      to
      me.
      An
     
     
      institution
      is
      only
      as
      good,
      or
      bad,
      as
     
     
      the
      people
      attending,
      and
      the
      attitudes
     
     
      they
      bring
      with
      them.
      Some
      people’s
     
     
      attitudes
      here
      on
      campus
      are
      quite
     
     
      questionable
      and
      difficult
      to
     
     
      understand.
      Having
      lived
      on
      various
     
     
      parts
      of
      the
      globe,
      I
      can
      tell
      you
      that
      we
     
     
      are
      very
      fortunate
      to
      be
      able
      to
      attend
     
     
      such
      a
      school
      as
      ours.
      We
      have
      the
     
     
      potential
      to
      be
      one
      of
      the
      best
     
     
      universities
      in
      the
      country,
      and
      |
      believe
     
     
      we
      already
      are.
      We
      should
      be
      proud,
     
     
      even
      alittle
      bit
      arrogant,
      to
      say
      that
      we
     
     
      area
      student
      at
      such
      a
      unique
      university
     
     
      as
      U.P.E...
      Going
      to

      all
     
     
      sports,
      even
      if
      you
      don’t
      like
      the
      game,
     
     
      is
      an
      excellent
      way
      to
      show
      other
     
     
      universities
      how
      we
      feel
      about
     
     
      ourselves.

      everyone
      to
      go
     
     
      out

      some
      noise.
      Being
      a
     
    
   
   
    
     
      varsity
      athlete,
      |
      can
      say
      that
      support.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      from
      the

      body

      greatly
     
     
      appreciated,
      often

      the
      extra
     
     
      motivation
      needed
      to
      defeat
      our
     
     
      Opponents.
     
     
      |
      must
      also
      address
      the
      somewhat
     
     
      bashing
      comment
      made
      about
      soccer.
     
     
      Generally,
      |
      have
      found
      that
      people
     
     
      dislike
      soccer
      for
      two
      main
      reasons:
     
     
      envy,
      and
      a
      lack
      of
      understanding.
     
     
      Soccer
      requires
      incredible
     
     
      conditioning
      combined
      with
      superb
     
     
      coordination,
      and
      mental
      sharpness.
     
     
      Many
      people
      are
      amazed
      at
      what
      a
     
     
      soccer
      player
      can
      do
      with
      a
      ball
      by
      only
     
     
      using
      their
      feet
      and
      heads.
      Some
      feel
     
    
   
   
    
     
      frustrated
      and
      angry
      when
      they
      cannot
      ©
     
    
   
   
    
     
      do
      the
      same,
      and
      so
      they
      tend
      to
     
     
      ignore
      the
      game.
      Others
      fail
      to
      see
     
     
      that
      much
      of
      the
      game
      is
      a
      mental
     
     
      contest
      between
      two
      teams,
      much
      like
     
     
      a
      fast-paced
      game
      of
      chess.
      Elite
     
     
      athleticism
      alone
      does
      not
      make
      a
     
     
      good
      soccer
      player,
      as
      a
      player
      must
     
     
      acknowledge
      that
      every
      touch
      of
      the
     
     
      ball
      has
      infinite
      consequences
      on
      the
     
     
      eventual
      outcome
      of
      the
      match,
      thus
     
     
      making
      the
      game
      an
      intellectual
      as
      well
     
     
      as
      a
      physical
      examination.
     
    

    
     
      As
      far
      as
      its
      popularity
      goes,
      it’s
      the
     
     
      number
      one
      sport
      on
      the

      sporting
      event

      is,
     
     
      even
      bigger
      than
      the

      It

      held
      this
      year

      game
      of

      Why
      don’t
      you
      publish
      the

      intramural

      Lots
      of

      like

      standings,
      and
      I'm
     
     
      sure
      it
      wouldn’t
      take
      up

      Slimy
      stereotype?
     
     
      X-Press,
     
    

    
     
      There
      is
      a
      new
      poster
      on
      campus
     
     
      designed
      to
      raise
      awareness
      about
     
     
      sexual
      harassment
      against
      women.
      The
     
     
      poster
      has
      a
      rather
      large
      detailed
     
     
      picture
      of
      an
      earthworm
      and
      the
     
     
      caption
      reads,
      “For
      some
      life
     
     
      forms...sexual
      harassment
      is
      not
      an
     
     
      issue.”
      |
      see
      the
      decision
      to
      use
      an
     
     
      image
      of
      an
      earthworm
      as
      a
      deliberate
     
     
      attempt
      by
      the
      creators
      of
      this
      poster
     
     
      to
      compare
      men
      to
      the
      lowly
     
     
      earthworm
      in
      an
      unfavourable
      light.
     
     
      Ostensibly,
      the
      joke
      is
      that
      the
      worm
      is
     
     
      neither
      male
      nor
      female
      and
      therefore
     
     
      is
      exempt
      from
      sexual
      harassment.
     
     
      Besides
      being
      a
      weak
      joke,
      the
      image
      of
     
     
      the
      worm
      feeds
      the
      stereotype
      that
     
     
      most
      men
      primitively
      seek
      sex.
      It
      also
     
     
      discounts
      the
      possibility
      that
      those
     
    
   
   
    
     
      men
      who
      do
      harass
      women
      could
      have
     
     
      tragic
      histories
      which
      ultimately
      result
     
     
      in
      the
      victimization
      of
      women.
     
    

    
     
      The
      group
      who
      decided
      to
      advertise
     
     
      with
      this
      image
      must
      have
      been
      aware
     
     
      of
      the
      various
      ways
      this
      poster
      could
     
     
      have
      been
      interpreted,
      and
      |
      would
      like
     
     
      to
      know
      why
      they
      undermine
      their
     
     
      own
      just
      cause
      with
      such
      mindless
     
     
      action.
