     Dear Editor 
     
    

    
     I would like to know 
     
     what the Sports Editor, Dar- 
     
     rell Cole has been up to for 
     
     the past 6 weeks. Since the 
     
     January 7th issue of the Gem 
     
     there has been no mention 
     
     of the UPEI Hockey Pan- 
     
     thers. Up until last weeks is- 
     
     sue, there was not even men- 
     
     tion of our nationally ranked 
     
     basketball teams. 
     
    

    
     You would expect the 
     
     University to get a_ lit- 
     
     tle excited considering the 
     
     Hockey Panthers are cur- 
     
     rently ranked # 1 in the” 
     
     country!! 
     
    

    
     It is bad enough that the 
     
     University cannot afford new 
     
     uniforms for the team, but 
     
     come on now. How about a 
     
     little support! 
     
    

    
     In case you didn’t hear, 
     
     the Hockey Panthers won 
     
    
   
   
    
     both games this past- week- 
     
     end over Mt. Allison 9-2 on 
     
     Friday evening, and 6-5 on 
     
     Sunday.

     EDITOR’S REPLY: It’s 
     
     kinda hard finding people on 
     
     campus to write sports. Dar- 
     
     rell Cole, our sports edi- 
     
     tor has been busy with his 
     
     courses and didn’t have time 
     
     to write. However, The Gem 
     
     welcomes Matthew Beards- 
     
     ley to its sportswriting staff, 
     
     so you can look forward to 
     
     more sports coverage. If 
     
     you are interested in helping 
     
     cover the sports or know of 
     
     anyone who may be, come 
     
     down and talk to us... we 
     
     need writers,
