      One
      of
      your

      favourite
      articles
      in
      the
     
     
      X-Press
      is
      back.
      That’s
      right,
      those
      three
      wild
     
     
      virls
      who
      love
      to
      pig
      out
      are
      back
      again
      to
     
     
      entice
      your
      pallet
      and
      empty
      your
      pocket-
     
     
      book.
      Last
      week
      I
      attended
      a
      staff
      party
      at
      the
     
     
      Magic
      Wok
      restaurant
      (Maypoint
      Plaza),
      and

      Plays
      Apothecaries?

      Yes,
      those
      rumours
      you
      heard
      floating
     
     
      around
      last
      week
      are
      true.
      Larry
      Gowan
      did
     
     
      indeed
      play
      Apothecaries
      last
      Wednesday
     
     
      night.
      He
      was
      good,
      darn
      good
      in
      fact.
      Of
     
     
      course
      I
      never
      actually
      got
      to
      see
      the
      man
     
     
      behind
      the
      voice
      because
      there
      was
      such
      a
     
     
      crowd
      in
      front
      of
      him.
      But
      that
      voice
      was
      quite
     
     
      enough
      for
      this
      world-weary
      reporter.
     
    

    
     
      Going
      in
      I
      was
      uncertain
      as
      to
      how
      the
     
     
      evening
      was
      going
      toproceed.
      After
      all
      Apoth-
     
     
      ecaries
      is
      a
      small
      alternative
      bar
      with
      little
     
     
      stage
      space
      for
      a
      star
      of
      Gowan’s
      calibre.
      To
     
     
      the
      credit
      of
      the
      bar
      they
      pulled
      it
      off,
      and
      a
     
     
      good
      time
      was
      had
      by
      most.
     
    

    
     
      Larry
      took
      the
      stage
      at
      about
      11:40
      and
     
     
      played
      for
      an
      hour
      and
      ten
      minutes.
      He
      sang
     
     
      all
      the
      old
      favourites
      and
      a
      few
      of
      his
      personal
     
     
      favourites
      which
      were
      never
      released
      as
      sin-
     
     
      gles.
      His
      voice
      has
      radically
      improved
      over
     
     
      recent
      years
      and
      the
      emotional
      content
      of
      the
     
     
      music
      is
      far
      more
      intense
      live.
     
    

    
     
      The
      concert
      went
      off
      with
      minimum
     
     
      difficulties.
      The
      crowd
      was
      into
      it
      and
      got
     
     
      downright
      mean
      if
      you
      tried
      to
      cut
      in
      front
      of
     
     
      them.
      So
      my
      companion
      and
      I
      sat
      at
      the
      back
     
     
      of
      the
      roomand
      listened
      to
      the
      beautiful
      sounds
     
     
      of
      the
      songs
      we
      grew
      up
      listening
      to.
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      What
      ety
      us
      off
      this
      week...
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      SUMMER
      COURSES:
      We
      registered
      for
      the
     
     
      course,
      paid
      the
      course,
      took
      the
      course,
      fin-
     
     
      ished
      the
      course.
      Sounds
      simple
      right?
      Wrong.
     
     
      Then
      we
      got
      the
      adjusted
      bill.
      How
      unfair!
      In
     
     
      real
      life,
      that
      would
      be
      like
      going
      to
      a
      restau-
     
     
      rant,
      eating
      a
      meal,
      and
      having
      them
      call
      you
     
     
      two
      weeks
      later
      to
      say
      that
      you
      owe
      more
     
     
      money.
      And
      what’s
      to
      say
      that
      UPEI
      won’t
      do
     
     
      it
      AGAIN.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      PERMISSION
      TO
      PAY
      LATE:
      Why
      is
      it
     
     
      that
      you
      still
      have
      to
      pay
      late
      fees
      when
      you
      get
     
     
      permission
      to
      pay
      late?
     
    
   
   
    
     
      STUDENT
      LOANS:
      Need
      we
      say
      more?
     
    
   
   
    
     
      COMPUTERS:
      What
      is
      with
      the
      e-mail
      lag...
     
     
      maybe
      this
      does
      stop
      some
      of
      the
      abusers,
      but
     
     
      what
      about
      those
      of
      us
      who
      are
      using
      e-mail
      for
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      it
      was
      so
      good
      I
      went
      back
      the
      next
      day
      for
     
     
      lunch.
      The
      food
      is
      good,
      not
      fabulous,
      but
      very
     
     
      good.
      The
      buffet
      has
      a
      varied
      selection
      and
      I’m
     
     
      happy
      to
      say
      that
      it
      varies
      from
      day
      to
      day.
      The
      |
     
     
      evening
      meal
      was
      a
      decent
      price
      $10.99,
      but
      if
     
     
      you
      really
      want
      some
      value
      for
      your
      money,
      go
     
    
   
   
    
     
      for
      lunch.
      It
      was
      only
      $6.99
      on
      Saturday.
      Did
     
     
      I
      mention
      that
      this
      is
      an
      all-you-can-eat
      buf-
     
     
      fet??
      That
      is
      correct,
      you
      can
      fill
      your
      plate(s)
     
     
      as
      many
      times
      as
      you
      like
      and
      then
      go
      back
      for
     
     
      dessert.
      If
      you’re
      a
      student
      ona
      budget
      like
      me,
     
     
      I
      would
      suggest
      starving
      yourself
      for
      the
      day
     
    
   
   
    
     
      legitimate
      reasons?
      Many
      professors
      and
      stu-
     
     
      dents
      communicate
      this
      way,
      and
      most
      of
      us
     
     
      cannot
      sit
      at
      a
      computer
      for
      1/2
      hour
      to
      await
     
     
      a
      response.
      Computer
      services
      should
      check
     
     
      some
      of
      the
      suggestions
      put
      out
      last
      year
      to
      stop
     
     
      abuses
      instead.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      MEN:
      This
      is
      Jennifers
      addition
      to
      the
      list.
     
     
      Maybe
      her
      e-mail
      signature
      will
      explain:
      ‘*Why
     
     
      are
      all
      the
      good
      men
      taken?
      And
      then
      she
     
     
      remembered
      there
      were
      no
      good
      men
      to
      begin
     
     
      with.’”
     
    
   
   
    
     
      THE
      CLASSROOM
      IN
      THE
      ALUMNI
     
     
      GYM:
      Who’sidea
      was
      that?
      A
      perfectly
      good
     
     
      gym
      was
      ruined,
      there
      must
      be
      room
      some-
     
     
      where
      else
      on
      campus.
      And
      its
      not
      as
      if
      its
      a
     
     
      great
      classroom
      either,
      voices
      echo,
      birds
      fly
     
     
      through,
      and
      to
      heat
      it
      the
      entire
      gym
      room
     
     
      must
      be
      heated
      regularly.
      Why
      not
      give
      the
     
     
      gym
      to
      a
      needy
      group
      like
      the
      theatre
      society,
     
     
      and
      find
      a
      classroom
      somewhere
      else.Thats
     
     
      what
      bugged
      us
      this
      week,
      if
      you
