Let me make it perfectly clear that the last remark was pure speculation, and based soley on REPEATED past performances. , Anyway, last Week's party is over just in time to prepare for the next one whid'l will be our Christmas y, and which will be I '. eld VERY SHORTLY. Last .year's event will be re- natbered fondly by all who attended. the par- ticularly touching mom- ent saw our own red— headed Santa with the fake accent trying to convince sweetyoung things to sit on his lap- as I recall, he spent a very lonely evening. Rtmair hath it that he may make“'a return appear- ance this year, so all fe— males will please be warned of the possible danger in- volVed . \ It's unfortunate, but due to scheduling problems which we're still trying to iron out, it is just possible that the party will have to be held during exam week, or, even worse, after exams when, theoretically, every— one has started the long trek home for the holidays. a We'd like your ideas on it - ‘if you have any preference between the two suggested titres, could you please leave a message with Freda Cox, in the main of— fice, and we'll see what we can do. I feel that I must inter- ject here with a repetition of a very ugly rimer which has reached my ears very recently. It seems that the Education Society has Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The opportunities have never been greater. For instance, the RCMP is accepting applications from both * And the salary scale has increased considerably. It starts at $13,500. per year ($260. weekly) with regular - increases to $19,000. ($365. weekly) in the first four years. If accepted as a member of the Force, you'll receive intensive training in all aspects of police work‘such as law, investigation, ‘ first aid and community relations. Then you'll be posted to a detachment where there's every chance to put your knowledge and talents to work; to earn . promotion and. equally _ important, be proud of what you’re doing for yourself and for Canada as a member of one of the finest police forces in the world. . So it you’re a Canadian citizen 18 or over and in good physical condition; think about a career with the RCMP. " Call or write . your nearest \ office or use‘the coupon. We'd like to tell you more; . le you've ever considereda career in law enforcement, now's the time to talk to the men and women, married and single.

Soc. in terms of spirit, drinking ability, overall intelligence, and all— round nice people. . IS un- ~ believably hilarious as it sounds, they have begun ill— fated attempts to prove their claims, including a challenge for Winter Car- 'nival's tug-of-war event. I can assume that they feel it necessary to issue this challenge at this early date because they know it will take them this long to get together enough people with the guts to take us on. Enough said. I noted, with very little amusement, the picture of the skunk beside this (30le, in one issue of this paper. I hope that the demented Sun-staffer con— cerned had a good laugh, and might I add that, for some editions of this paper the skunk would be more at home beside the main title on the front page. It has come to my attention that, recently, some of those people with whom I am ac—. ' ' quainted have taken to waiting with terror for each week's paper to cone out, for fear that I had mentioned their name in connection with some bi— zarre episode with which I had become familiar. I state publicly, here and now, that they are cor— rect in their fear — NO— ONE IS SAFE! On that note, I might mention that it's too bad that the Sun didn't have a photographer at the Trade Winds last Sat. night. Apparently, a couple of our hockey Panthers, who just happen to be business students made quite a spectacle of themselves. It's also tOO bad that they don't better equip cigarette machines 'for sleeping. Because Xmas is just around the corner, and I'm getting into the spirit(s) I will refrain ‘ from mentioning their names here . Speaking of the Xmas spirit, and being in a benevolent mood, I will give you all a present, and cut this ridi- Culous garble right here. Good luck on your finals, and have a good holiday. Ho, ho, ho.
