Thank-you Yearbook Staff Shinerama > Scrubba, scrubba, polish, polish. Shinerama is the campaign run each year by university students all over Canada to raise money to help fight cystic fibrosis. C.F. is a genetic disease, affecting the lungs and digestive system, which shows up in very young children, and the life expectancy for people with C.F. is now into their early 30’s. (This is in fact wonderful progress. As little as 15 years ago, the life expectancy was near 7 years of age.) UPEI has been one of the biggest fundraisers among Canadian uni- versities, despite our small size, with over $65,000 raised since 1977. To make this event successful, preparation over the course of the summer is necessary. We’re getting ready for this again this year. The Shinerama needs a chairperson who can call meetings, a publicity person who can let the media and the general public know that the event is coming up, and people interested in organizing liaisons with corporate groups in the community so that the committee can get places for the volunteers to stand and shine, as well as getting supplies for the campaign. In this campaign, first-year stu- dents come in at the beginning of the year and are fitted into a pre-organized cam- paign, but we need YOU to organize it. The Student Union and the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation have all the expertise you’ Il need to make this a success. Require- ments: Creativity, some ongoing enthusi- asm, and a smidgen of common sense. Resume type experience isn’t needed to join, but will be gained by participating. Call Betty at the Student Union (566-0530) for information and to sign up. We need all the various talents you might possess, so don’t be shy. The more people involved, the better you can use your talents.

Consequently, the Peer Helper Group has declared Wednesday, March 29 *Respect Day” Respect Ribbons will be passed out in the Robertson Library Breezeway from 9:30 am until 12:30 pm. These are meant to relay a message that “I’m okay and you're okay too.” To add to the atmosphere of good- will and friendship, balloons will be placed in several buildings around campus, which hopefully will remind us to reach out to others in a pleasant way. To make this occasion come alive and be more meaningful, we offer the fol- lowing suggestions: -- Say hello to a stranger -- Smile at people -- Give genuine compliments -- Listen well to what others have to say -- Be tolerant of other people’s beliefs and lifestyles -- Follow through on the commitments you make -- Pat yourself on the back for your strengths and accomplishments! So, come and get your respect rib- bon on March 29, and remember: *I’m okay, and you’re okay too.” 16 final issue of the year... X-press march 28, 1995
