      Welcome
      back,
      folks.
      It’s
      another
      year
      of
      study-
     
     
      ing,
      The
      Barn,
      going
      to
      classes,
      The
      Barn,
      going
     
     
      to
      watch
      our
      sports
      teams,
      The
      Barn,
      hanging
     
     
      out
      in
      the
      pit,
      The
      Barn...Getting
      the
      picture
     
     
      yet?!
     
    

    
     
      Our
      year
      officially
      begins
      Thursday,
      Septem-
     
     
      ber
      9th
      with
      our
      first
      pub
      of
      the
      year.
      The
     
     
      Amazing
      Santini
      will
      be
      here
      putting
      a
      few
      of
      us
     
     
      intoa
      hypnotic
      trance
      and
      what
      will
      happen
      next
     
     
      is
      anybody's
      guess.
      (Last
      year,
      Billy
      Scantlebury
     
     
      gave
      birth
      to
      a
      chicken
      in
      front
      of
      two
      hundred
     
     
      people!)
     
    

    
     
      We
      hope
      everybody
      left
      Friday
      afternoons
     
     
      open
      because
      our
      famous
      movie
      pubs
      will
      be
     
     
      returning
      to
      the
      barn.
      Our
      first
      movie
      pub
      (Sept.
     
     
      10th)
      will
      feature
      “Alive”
      and
      “Nowhere
      to
     
     
      Run”.
     
    

    
     
      Make
      a
      day
      of
      it,
      because
      Friday
      night
      Bob
     
     
      Lambert
      will
      be
      rockin’
      the
      Barn.
      Bob
      is
     
     
      probably
      the
      best
      party
      around
      so
      make
      sure
     
     
      you're
      early
      for
      this
      one.
     
    

    
     
      As
      you
      drive
      by
      us
      at
      the
      barn,
      we
      hope
      that
     
     
      you'll
      notice
      our
      brand
      new
      purchase
      sitting
      on
     
     
      our
      roof.
      The
      Barn
      is
      now
      equipped
      with
      a
     
     
      satellite
      dish.
      We
      now
      have
      access
      to
      endless
     
     
      movies,
      sports
      and
      special
      events
      (a.k.a.
      WWF).
     
     
      Watch
      this
      space
      as
      we
      will
      be
      putting
      in
      a
      listing
     
     
      of
      what’s
      on

      week.
     
    

    
     
      Everyone
      here
      at
      the
      lounge
      is
      anxious

      see
      your
      smiling
      faces
      at
      the
      Barn
      -
      and
      don’t
     
     
      forget
      about
      our
      double-whammy
      Thursday
     
     
      and
      Friday

      We'll
      dispense
      with
      the
      small
      talk.
      Either
      you're
     
     
      backand
      not
      happy
      about
      it
      or
      you're
      new
      here
     
     
      and
      don’t
      know
      enough
      to
      be
      unhappy
      yet.
      If
     
     
      you've
      been
      here
      awhile
      and
      are
      happy
      to
      be
     
     
      back
      then
      you're
      either
      an
      arts
      student
      or
     
     
      you've
      been
      here
      too
      long
      and
      killed
      some
      brain
     
     
      cells.
     
    

    
     
      The
      next
      eight
      months
      are
      going
      to
      consist
     
     
      of
      long
      hours,
      late
      nights,
      and
      eating
      food
      with
     
     
      a
      longer
      half
      life
      than
      Uranium
      (when
      you
     
     
      remember
      to
      eat).
      Fortunately
      for
      you,
      we,
      the
     
     
      executive
      of
      the
      Biology
      Club,
      have
      been
      tire-
     
     
      lessly
      racking
      our
      brains
      since
      May
      trying
      to
     
     
      devise
      a
      plan
      of
      action
      for
      the
      coming
      year.
      We
     
     
      have
      several
      events
      planned
      and/or
      booked
     
     
      already
      including
      a
      party/camping
      trip
      planned
     
     
      for
      this
      weekend
      at
      Camp
      Riverdale--but
      more

      later.
     
    

    
     
      What
      is
      the
      Biology
      Club?
      It
      is
      an
      organiza-
     
     
      tion
      of
      students
      run
      primarily
      to
      provide
      the
     
     
      rest
      and
      relaxation
      Biology
      students
      crave
      after
     
     
      a
      week
      of
      12
      hour
      days
      in
      class
      and
      lab.
      We
     
     
      arrange
      pubs
      and
      parties
      for
      members
      as
      well
      as

      two
      channels,

      or
      even
      take
      a
      nap
      (the
      lounge

      in
      Duffy--go
      in

      and
      take

      Being

      zation
      associated
      with
      an
      institute
      of
      higher
     
     
      learning
      we
      are
      also
      able
      to
      provide
      students
     
     
      with
      old
      exams
      andtext
      books

      and
      studying.
      In
      addition
      this
      year
      we
      plan
      on
     
     
      sending
      groups
      of
      students
      to
      Fredericton,
      N.B.
     
     
      and
      Summerside
      for
      environmental
      conferences.
     
    

    
     
      Yes,
      you
      too
      can
      become
      a
      member
      of
      this
     
     
      exciting
      organization
      for
      only
      ten
      dollars.
      This
     
     
      money
      basically
      covers
      our
      start
      up
      for
      the
      year
     
     
      and
      enables
      us
      to
      throw
      the
      year’s
      first
      party.
     
     
      After
      that,
      fund-raising
      enables
      us
      to
      provide
     
     
      members
      with
      what
      turns
      out
      to
      be
      at
      least
      3
     
     
      times
      that
      value
      in
      complimentary
      drinks,
     
     
      munchies,
      and
      activities.
      Seeing
      as
      the
      Biology
     
     
      Club
      also
      has
      a
      stake
      in
      environmental
      concerns
     
     
      and
      many
      non-biology
      students
      are
      interested
      in
     
     
      the
      environment,

      YOU
      KNOW?
      :
     
     
      Canada
      has
      a
      worse
      record
      for
      protecting
      its
     
     
      forests
      than
      does
      Brazil.
      Brazil
      has
      protected
     
     
      9.4%
      of
      its
      rainforest
      while
      Canada
      has
      pro-
     
     
      tected
      only
      2.6%
      of
      its
      forests.
      Canada
      cuts
      its
     
     
      forests
      almost
      as
      fast
      as
      Brazil,
      which
      loses
      an
     
     
      acre
      every
      9
      seconds
      comparedto
      the
      loss
      of
      an
     
     
      acre
      of
      forest
      every
      12
      seconds
      in
      Canada.
     
     
      Canada’s
      forests
      are
      considered
      just
