Beginning in high school, she has channelled her courses solely into sciences. She advises new\ students to U.P.E.I. to ’look'into_other_areas’that interest them. Geraldine. noted that labs make a big difference, when comparing 'science to other faculties.

'VICKIE\JOHNSTON SOPHOMORE - EDUCATION "The best preparation for university is to become involved in Senior High School," says Vickie, one of this year's Carnival Queen nominees’and our 'sole representative for the Education faculty. Before coming to U.P.E.I., Vickie considered several other uniVersities and chose U.P.E.I. above the rest. She reasoned that since this university offered-the degree she wanted, it was Unneces- sary to leave the Island to look elsewhere for it. It is obvious from the high marks she gives her faculty that her decision was a good one.’ Compared to other faculties, Education is a small one. This allows her to get to know the students and professors well. .She feels it is im— portant to develop good student/teacher relations to Iearn and later to teach. She thinks it makes for a happier stu— dent and it mightn't be available at other universitiesr The workload from the first year touches on everything and becomes. more'detailed.g It is practical with actual teaching hours from the first year on. ' ’ When the time comes fOr her-to decide at which level she will teach, ‘she will have a goOd foundation on which to base her deciSIOn. MIKE ROACH ' ~ VFRESHMEN s ENGINEERING‘ Mike finds the Engineering Society to be closely-knit I more so than any other ‘department. He socializes mainly with the members of his department at ac— tivities such as engin— eering pubs and ski trips. He doesnft know which branch of engineering he will enter. Mike feels the most important thing to know is how to study. He says only one-third of the enrolled students graduate from pre—engin- eering. He finds the work seasier because of the ‘good backgrOund in Chem— istry he got from Mr. Spenceley in Colonel Gray. JOANNE DEIGHAN FRESHMEN — BUSINESS 'JoAnn came to U.P.E.I. because she was unable to enter Holland College for training as a dental assis- tant.

JoAnn has Spent more time studying than actively participating socially” but doesn't think the workload is as heavy as she expected it would be. She has found it hard learning to sort out what is relevant in classes taught by lecture. CHRISTINE ANDERSON FRESHMEN — ARTS — MUSIC Christine decided to attend U.P.E.I. in order to cone tinue studying piano with Dr. Frances Gray. The workload for students in the music department is heavy but different than for any other degree. It is made up of physical practice(at least three .hours every day), rather than mental study.
