To Write Right: Go to the “Write Place”!

It’s Essay and Exam Time, and the Writing Center is Here for You

Julie Bull Reporter

That was a mouthful! So what am I talking about right? Well here goes. Ever have an idea for a paper but it just doesn’t sound the way you want itto? Having a hard time keeping your verbs and nouns straight? Ever wish someone would just help you when your stuck? Well, rub my genie - your wish has come true! Honestly, I ain’t joking.

There is a place where you can go for help with your writing, and if that’s not good enough, listen to this- it’s free. Yeah, that is no typo! This service is free of charge! Socome on, what’s your excuse? I know, I bet you’re saying that it is intimidating to have some professional pick apart your paper. Well, here’s wish #2 - there are student tutors - just likeme and you that are available to help you. There, now you’ ve wasted 2 wishes on your genie but you’re still saying to yourself- “I don’t have time Mr Genie, they probably only are available when I’m busy”. Poosh (that’s my poor attempt at a genie granting a final wish!) the ‘write place’ is here for you at these convenient hours: Sunday to Thursday, 3-7 pm in the Pit (by the Math Help Centre) and Monday to Thursday, 10 am to 3 pm in the Teaching and Learning Centre Room 122 in the Library.

So what are you waiting for? I’ve granted your three wishes- can’t take it back now. I bet you’re wishing for a sexy partner, a great job andanice car, aren’t you? Well, I’ve already granted you wishes for a writing center, but I guarantee* that if you go there, you will get anything else you want.

*Guarantee only for help and improvement. Scoring with a hot guy/girl and the rest is up to you. Not liable for any misinformation.

THE CADRE @ 16

Canada Pageants searching for next Charlottetown Queen

A once ina lifetime opportunity is being offered to Charlottetown residents. The search is on for titleholders to represent their city at the National Canada Pageants gala affair. One candidate from each city or town throughout Canada will be selected. The local winner will become an ambassador for her area participating in local fall fairs, expos, parades, and other community events in her crown and sash. She then moves onto the national pageant which takes place in London, Ontario at the Wolf Performance Hall.

Canada Pageant Corporation offers women with opportunities for career advancement, networking, media exposure, and personal

development. The fact that the

competition is open to ages 7-56, —

makes this system very unique. Miss Teen Canada Scholarship is open to teens ages 13-19. Miss Canada Scholarship is open to women over 20 years of age. Mrs. Canada is open to married women, ages 21-56. The Canada Pageants’ system showcases the accomplishments of women and their commitment to community, family, education, and career. The Canadian winners go onto the Miss Teen, Miss, and Mrs. International competition in Chicago in July 2005.

Last year the pageant opened its doors to pre-teens with the Miss Preteen Canada competition for girls

ages 7-12. With a remarkable twist, the preteen competition calls for KIDS to be KIDS with a no make-up rule. Canada Pageants is not a conventional pageant system based on beauty, as 40- 50% of the total score is determined by interview about personal platform. Most contestants are not models and have no previous pageant experience featuring its’ well known slogan “ordinary girls doing extra-ordinary

things”.

Last year, Canada Pageants awarded over $100,000 in scholarships and prizes. Eighty-six women competed from across Canada and performed for a SOLD OUT crowd for both the Preliminaries and Finals. They enjoyed limousine transportation, red carpets, a press conference, autograph signings and more. In the two years that Canada Pageants Corporation has produced the pageants, it has had countless success stories. Miss Teen Canada 2002 was. offered a one year position at Walt Disney World and became the National Spokesperson for MADD (Mothers Against Drinking and Driving), Miss Teen Canada 2004 was on the cover of Cocoa Magazine, Miss Teen Toronto 2003 has published a book about her platform, and the reigning Miss Canada Scholarship has launched a nation wide speaking tour about Violence Prevention for Teens. Women are finding this system to open doors to their futures while many others have gone onto new career opportunities.

Charlottetown area titleholders will be announced December 30, — 2004. ts
