DEAR JIM & TAMMY DEAR TAMMY; I’m a freshman here at UPEI and found, as ev- eryone else has, that mid- JIM & terms and papers are due now. I’m so nervous that I can not sleep at all. My doctor says that I have ner- vous insomnia and says that it will go away in a week or two. Can you and the Big Guy help me out? INSOMNIA CITY DEAR INSOMNIA; What you require is to find a way to relax. The best way is to get down and pray or meditate. If this does not help you re- lax enough. try some sleep- ing pills. If none of these help, and there is no way you can sleep, get yourself a good boyfriend/girlfriend and invite them over for the night. You'll have a good time and if you are lucky you may fall asleep. SMITH ZTE SMITH TOMORROW ‘S TECHNOLOGY AT YOUR TOUCH JUST WRITE FOR ANY COURSE....

Let me set the scene: the UPEI Team. Hockey good music blaring. the UPEI Panther. banners flying. permission to drink in a public place. Sound like a good time? It should have been. I’ve been brought up to believe that going to university was more than studying. I thought that you were supposed to have a good time above all else. How do you feel about this? Let’s take a poll. Where were you on Oct.14, 1987 at 8:00pm? Studying? At Jim’s? What's the story here? What is with you people? All of you peo- ple, that think UPEL is bor- ing and wish you were go- ing somewhere else. Well, UPEI is GRADUATES, ' boring and you should go somewhere else. some- where where showing your school spirit (what’s that?) is the preppy thing to do. Is anybody reading this? ‘Get organized. Get involved. It looks good on your resume. And you might have a good time and you might meet a few people. UPEI is boring! And do you know why? Be- cause of you! Because you can’t be bothered to go to something planned by one stupid individual. “There must be some people out of 2000 who will want to go to this stupid thing”, she thinks, stupidly. OK, fine. Yes, we'll keep plan- ning these things. We're not quite sure why. I don’t know what you people are doing. What are you Do- ing? Why aren't you going to the Barn? The prices are AND COUNTRIES BEYOND THE SEA By Sam Okello In Canada, there are various organizations that have shown concern for the conditions. of Third World refugees. A cou- ple of weeks ago, the World University Service of Canada (WUSC) spon- sored a tremendous dis- play of Caravan products at the Robertson Library Pit. Caravan, a Third World handicraft sale, was a prior- ity to help market refugee products. Such a market enables people develop pat- terns of self-reliance and meet basic needs in their struggle for political and economic self determina- tion. ; The efforts ok those who contributed towards : this worthwhile project~ should not go unnoticed. It is crystal clear that the re- sponse from caring people on the Island is growing. It is resulted in UPEI faculty members and students vol- unteering in Third World Countries. we I. must. confess - that : to communicate from one culture to an- other, particularly when the language is not one’s own native tongue, but acquired, as En- push is to me, can e cumbersome. Some of these partici- pants are: Economics Pro- fessor, Walter Fobes, who while on sabbatical leave, taught at a Cooperative college in Tanzania; oth- ers are UPEI graduates, Carol Cameron, who was in Swaziland, and Mark Smitheran, who was in Kenya. Ian Hogg is teach- ing at Technical School in Swaziland. Joe Byrne is in the Dominican Republic working on Youth for devel- opment project. These par- ticipants, and several oth- ers, have played an impor- tant role by contributing their skills and efforts to in- - ternational development. rs ae ee see, = ree FAS ieee es Se Consider living in one area wrought by civil war or regional conflict. Such is a problem fac- ing Third World refugees. Refugees are reflective of © the denial.of basic free- doms; physical safety of people; freedom from pros- ecution or civil war—all vi- olations deterring human rights development. No wonder that the im- | pact of the economics has socitragic consequences for refugees. These conse- quences have resulted in to an untold suffering in hu- man history.
