So
      the
      women’s,
      and
      men’s
      team
     
     
      won
      on
      Sunday,
      wicked-good.

      The
      girls
      seemed
      very
      comfort-
     
     
      able
      around
      the
      ball,
      and
      confident
      in
      their
     
     
      attacks
      against
      UNB.
      They
      played
      hard
     
     
      defense,
      and
      were
      victim
      to
      some
      off
      calls.
     
     
      This
      was
      noted
      by
      the
      lady
      panthers
      head
     
     
      coach,
      who
      was
      losing
      her
      head
      at
      one
     
     
      point
      in
      the
      game.
      She
      accused
      the
      ref
      of
     
     
      not
      calling
      an
      intentional
      foul,
      and
      then
     
     
      went
      on
      to
      say
      that
      he
      had
      better
      start
      if
      he
     
     
      didn’t
      want
      to
      cause
      injury
      -
      she
      was
      livid.
     
    

    
     
      Walters
      had
      a
      very
      strong
      game,
     
     
      winning
      rebounds,
      and
      fighting
      her
      way
      to
     
     
      the
      basket
      on
      several
      occasions.
      Andrews,
     
     
      and
      Campbell
      lead
      the
      quick
      attacks,
      and
     
     
      Natasha
      Eadie,
      was
      eating
      up
      the
      passing
     
     
      lanes
      in
      the
      opposing
      teams
      end.
      The
      girls
     
    
   
   
    
     
        
     
    
   
   
    
     
      played
      great,
      and
      it
      seemed
      as
      though
      they
     
     
      were
      confident
      through
      out
      the
      whole
     
     
      game.
      It
      showed
      when
      some
      UPEI
      faces
      lit
     
     
      up
      with
      smiles,
      as
      faces
      should
      when
      play-
     
     
      ing
      a
      sport
      you
      love.
      Lindsey
      Coade
      had
      an
     
     
      excellent
      defensive
      game,

      from

      This
      game
     
     
      got
      messy
      at
      one
      point
      with
      high
      tenacity,
     
     
      elbows,
      and
      an
      attempt
      from
      a
      UNB
      player
     
     
      to
      strip
      the
      ball
      that
      looked
      more
      like
     
     
      attempted
      assault
      than
      any
      sport

      a

      PRESIDENT:
     
    

    
     
      talked
      about
      freeze
      tuition
      cam-
     
     
      paign.
      Although
      we
      were
      lacking
      in
     
     
      turnout
      from
      students
      and
      overwhelming
     
     
      apathy
      from
      the
      student
      body,
      we
      were
     
     
      able
      to
      accomplish
      our
      goals.
      For
      four
     
     
      days
      last
      week
      our
      plight
      was
      a
      focus
      of
     
     
      the
      media.
     
    

    
     
      We
      managed
      to
      catch
      the
     
     
      Minister

      Education
      both
      of
      guard
      and
     
     
      unprepared
      as
      she
      demonstrated
      that
      her
     
     
      knowledge
      of
      our
      plight
      was
      rather
      limit-
     
     
      ed.
      Our
      requests
      were
      also
      answered
      over
     
     
      last
      week

      so
      the
      whole
     
     
      gym
      just
      started
      singing.
      I
      have
      never
      expe-
     
     
      rienced
      something
      so
      patriotic
      (sniff,
      sniff).
     
     
      Now
      you
      may
      be
      thinking
      cheese,
      cheese,
     
     
      but
      I
      was
      glad
      to
      be
      a
      part
      of
      it,
      even
      if
      it
     
     
      was
      like
      something
      out
      of
      a
      PG
      movie.
     
    

    
     
      So
      back
      to
      the
      court,
      the
      game
     
     
      started
      with
      a
      burst
      of
      intensity
      from
      UPEI,
     
     
      a
      masked
      bandit
      ran
      into
      the
      gym,
      and
      shot
     
     
      4
      3-pointers,
      before
      anybody
      knew
      what
     
     
      was
      going
      on!
      Keirstead
      ya
      big
      dummy,
     
     
      don’t
      ya
      think
      you
      could
      of
      let
      them
      into
     
     
      the
      game
      just
      a
      little.
      Yes
      it
      was
      sweetness,
     
     
      and
      the
      game
      just
      steamed
      rolled
      from
     
     
      there.
      UPEI
      never
      looked
      back
      once,
      they
     
     
      were
      all
      so
      into
      this
      game.
      Reading
      plays
     
     
      was
      coming
      so
      easy
      to
      these
      guys,
      you
     
     
      could
      tell
      they
      were
      lovin
      it.
      The
      sounds
     
     
      from
      the
      court
      were
      halarious,
      jibs
      were
     
     
      being
      dished
      out,
      and
      taken.
      I
      know
      why
     
    
   
   
    
     
      since
      the
      last
      meeting
      of
      student
      council.
     
     
      Their
      financial
      situation
      has
      been
      one
      of
     
     
      the
      main
      topics
      that
      were
      discussed
      as
     
     
      they
      deal
      with
      their
      lack
      of
      funds
      until
      a
     
     
      new
      contract
      is
      formed.
     
    

    
     
      MAPUS
      also
      attempted
      activates
     
     
      such
      as
      attending
      a
      hockey
      game
      but
      tick-
     
     
      ets
      were
      sold
      out.

      The

      coasted
      easily
      to
      the
     
     
      first
      half.
     
    

    
     
      The
      second
      half
      was
      more
      of
      the

      couldn't
      get
     
     
      close
      to

      This
      probably
      gave
      way
     
     
      for
