      As
      many
      of
      you
      have
      noticed
     
     
      while
      walking
      the
      grounds
      of
      the
     
     
      university,
      there
      is
      quite
      a
      bit
      of
     
     
      construction
      underway
      all
      over
      campus.
     
     
      The
      most
      obvious
      construction
      is
      the
     
     
      new
      student
      residence,
      located
     
     
      immediately
      next
      to
      The
      Wanda
      Wyatt
     
     
      dining
      hall,
      across
      from
      KCI.
      This
      new
     
     
      residence
      will
      be
      five
      stories
      high
      and
     
     
      will
      feature
      an
      elevator
      for
      accessibility.
     
     
      Each
      suite
      will
      accommodate
      up
      to
      3
     
     
      students,
      and,
      unlike
      any
      of
      the
      other
     
     
      residence
      buildings,
      it
      will
      also
      be
     
     
      conveniently
      connected
      to
      the
      dining
     
     
      hall.
     
    

    
     
      Speaking
      on
      behalf
      of
      the
     
     
      residence
      department,
      Pam
      McGuigan,
     
     
      the
      Administrative
      Support
      person
      for
     
     
      Residence,
      Food
      and
      Conference
     
     
      Services,
      has
      expressed
      excitement
      at
     
     
      the
      addition
      of
      the
      new
      residence
     
     
      building.
     
    

    
     
      In
      addition
      to
      this
      new
     
     
      construction,
      upgrades
      were
      completed
     
     
      on
      Bernardine
      last
      summer,
      and
     
     
      Blanchard
      Hall
      is
      scheduled
      for
      its
     
     
      upgrade
      this
      summer.
      According
      to
     
     
      Pam
      McGuigan,
      “It
      is
      awesome
      to
      be
     
     
      able
      to
      offer
      such
      top
      quality
      residence
     
     
      housing
      to
      our
      students.
      Of
      course
      in
     
     
      the
      new
      building
      everything,
      including
     
     
      furniture,
      will
      be
      brand
      new,
      but
      there
     
     
      will
      also
      be
      some
      added
      features
      within
     
     
      the
      suites
      such
      as
      individual
      phone
      lines,
     
     
      televisions,
      double
      beds,
      and
     
     
      kitchenettes
      equipped
      with
      a
      fridge
      and
     
     
      microwave.
      And,
      although
      the
      other
     
     
      two
      residence
      buildings
      are
      not
      ‘new’,
     
     
      the
      recent
      renovations
      to
      Bernardine
     
     
      Hall,
      and
      those
      scheduled
      for
      Blanchard
     
     
      Hall
      during
      the
      summer
      of
      ‘05,
      will
     
     
      certainly
      bring
      those
      two
      buildings
      right
     
     
      up
      there
      in
      quality
      as
      well.
      By
     
     
      September
      ‘05,
      both
      Bernardine
      and
     
     
      Blanchard
      Halls
      with
      be
      upgraded
      with
     
     
      new
      paint,
      flooring,
      furniture,
      electrical
     
     
      upgrades,
      completely
      refurbished
     
    
   
   
    
     
      New
      Residence:
      Help
      Wanted
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      bathrooms,
      as
      well
      as
      kitchens
      in
     
     
      Blanchard
      Hall.
      Overall,
      all
      the
      three
     
     
      residence
      buildings
      will
      be
      right
      up
      there
     
     
      in
      the
      ranks
      of
      quality
      residence
      living.
     
     
      Each
      will
      be
      unique
      in
      style
      and
      will
     
     
      offer
      its
      own
      traditions,
      just
      as
      the
     
     
      residence
      life
      experience
      itself
      should.”
     
    

    
     
      While
      these
      upgrades
      mean
     
     
      that
      that
      all
      three
      buildings
      will
      be
      of
     
     
      essentially
      the
      same
      top
      quality,
      with
     
     
      new
      furnishings
      and
      extras,
      most
     
     
      students
      who
      were
      asked
      still
      said
      they
     
     
      would
      choose
      to
      live
      in
      the
      new
     
     
      residence
      building.
      All
      three
      residences
     
     
      include
      TV
      lounges,
      laundry
      facilities,
     
     
      cable
      TV,
      heat,
      hot
      water,
      local
     
     
      telephone,
      and
      electricity.
      ResNet
     
     
      internet
      connections
      are
      also
      available
     
     
      during
      the
      academic
      year
      for
      an
     
     
      additional
      fee.
     
    

    
     
      The
      new
      residence
      will
      house
     
     
      students
      on
      a
      first
      come
      first
      serve
      basis
     
     
      and
      it
      is
      a
      safe
      bet
      that
      it
      will
      fill
      up
      quite
     
     
      quickly.
      Even
      considering
      this
      fact,
      there
     
     
      is
      concern
      that
      the
      other
      two
     
     
      residences,
      Bernadine
      and
      Blanchard
     
     
      (Marian
      will
      not
      be
      used
      to
      house
     
     
      students
      next
      year),
      will
      have
      trouble
     
     
      attracting
      residents.
      While
      the
      loss
      of
     
     
      Marian
      will
      force
      its
      residents
      into
      other
     
     
      residences,
      the
      numbers
      don’t
      add
      up.
     
     
      Marian
      has
      fewer
      residents
      by
      far
      than
     
     
      the
      capacity
      of
      the
      new
      building,
      and
      is
     
     
      limited
      to
      men
      only.
      While
      UPEI
      does
     
     
      get
      new
      students
      every
      year
      who
      will
     
    
   
   
    
     
      contribute
      to
      filling
      these
      buildings,
      many
     
     
      residence
      occupants
      are
      of
      the
      opinion
     
     
      that
      there
      will
      be
      a
      significant
      lack
      of
     
     
      people
      who
      want
      to
      move
      into
     
     
      Bernadine
      and
      Blanchard.
      Based
      on
     
     
      informal
      interviews
      with
      students
      who
     
     
      live
      in
      residence
      there
      seem
      to
      be
      a
     
     
      number
      of
      occupants
      who
      will
      not
      be
     
     
      returning
      to
      residence
      at
      all;
      not
     
     
      because
      of
      the
      new
      building,
      but
      as
      a
     
     
      result
      of
      other
      factors.
     
    

    
     
      The
      residence
      planners
      have
     
     
      asked
      for
      feedback
      from
      all
      students
     
     
      (including
      those
      who
      don’t
      live
      in
     
     
      residence)
      regarding
      what
      you
      think
      the
     
     
      residences
      should
      have,
      or
      in
      what
     
     
      areas
      they
      could
      improve.
      They
      would
     
     
      like
      you
      to
      tell
      them,
      honestly,
      what
     
     
      would
      make
      you
      choose
      residence
     
     
      living.
      If
      you
      have
      lived
      there
      and
     
     
      moved
      out,
      they’d
      like
      to
      know
      what
     
     
      made
      you
      decide
      to
      leave.
      Any
     
     
      responses
      will
      be
      anonymous
      unless
     
     
      you
      ask
      otherwise,
      and
      no
      one
      will
      be
     
     
      forwarded
      junk
      mail
      of
      any
      kind.
     
     
      Whether
      you
      want
      to
      complain,
      argue,
     
     
      or
      praise
      the
      existing
      program
      the
     
     
      responses
      will
      help
      make
      the
      residences
     
     
      better
      for
      next
      year,
      especially
      if
      there
     
     
      are
      a
      lot
      of
      the
      same
      complaints
      or
     
     
      suggestions.

      Hopefully,
      with
      your
     
     
      suggestions,
      residence
      life
      will
      meet
      the
     
     
      needs
      of

      contest,
      the
      girls’
      record
      showed
      9-
     
     
      8.
     
    

    
     
      The
      next
      night,
      UPEI
      took
     
     
      another
      beating,
      but
      not
      without
      a
     
     
      fight:
      the
      score
      ended
      up
      at
      78-55.
     
     
      UCCB’s
      shooting
      record
      was
      58%
     
     
      in
      first
      half,
      plus
      a
      43-27
      lead
      over
     
     
      UPEI
      going
      into
      half
      time.
      UCCB’s
     
     
      defense
      kept
      persisting
      and
     
     
      unfortunately,
      it
      worked.
      UPEI
     
     
      played
      very,
      very
      hard
      and
      I’m
      sure
     
     
      they
