     "Hey! are you going to the 
     
     Pig this week? I hear it 
     
    
   
   
    
     is going to be a good'time!“ , ‘ 
     
    
   
   
    
     This used to be a cormon 
     
     saying heard here at UPEI 
     
     each week. Thursday night ' 
     
     used to be the big night on 
     
     campus where everyone 
     
     would head down to the Barn 
     
     to go the Pig.'f Thursday 
     
     nights used to see the Barn 
     
     filled with people dancing, 
     
     sitting around talking to 
     
     friends, Orwhatever! 
     
     Thursday night used to be 
     
     the night to get out and 
     
     see your friends and . 
     
     socialize! But no more! 
     
    
   
   
    
     What has  Where 
     
     have the crowds gone? 
     
    
   
   
    
     I've been talking to 
     
     people and they have 
     
     never seen the place so 
     
     dead as in the past- few 
     
     weeks. Four years ago, 
     
     last year, even last 
     
     senester, saw crowds at 
     
     the Barn. What happened 
     
     to all those seniors who 
     
     used to attend every 
     
     event and those Freshmen 
     
     who never missed an event 
     
     in their first year? And 
     
     also the Sophomores and 
     
     Juniors, who used to get 
     
     out just as much” I 
     
    
   
   
    
     , [r 
     
    
   
   
    
     ‘ .s, 
     
    
   
   
    
     know it is the old coy 
     
     of student apathy, but 
     
     we want to know what is 
     
     wrong! Imagine what 
     
     UPEI would be like with— 
     
     out any SOCIAL IIFE! and 
     
     it is slowly getting that 
     
     way. ' 
     
    

    
     What weare trying to 
     
     do is find out what is 
     
     wrong. Below is a q‘lES-r;

     In the last two months 
     
     several rumours have 
     
     circulated concerning the 
     
     fiuture of Marian and 
     
     Bernadine Halls. Apparently 
     
     Marian Hall would again 
     
     become a Co-ed dorm and 
     
     one floor of Bernadine 
     
     Hall would be converted 
     
     into a male residence.
