The Gem
Women's Studies at UPEI
4A committee of faculty and students has been asked to re- view current offerings in Women’s Studies and to formulate a five— year plan for Women’s Studies at UPEI. By the spring of 1990, the committee expects to com- plete its report, which will be for- warded to the appropriate aca- demic and budgetary planning committees ai the University.
To fulfill its mandate, the Committee is examining course outlines from existing Women’s Studies courses at UPEI and is researching the extent and nature of Women’s Studies courses at other universities in Canada. It
has also invited advice from fac-
ulty members at UPEI.
The Committee can not ad- equately prepare its plan with- out advice from students. For now the Committee would like to receive the following from in- terested students: a) informa-
tion and advice about the cur- rent state of Women’s Studies at UPEI; b) reactions to and advice about the “suggestions about the long term plans” which were in- cluded in the Committee’s terms of reference (see over).
Letters may be sent to any of the Committee’s members. They should be received by the Com- mittee no later than 26 January, 1990.
Members of the Committee are: Llewellyn Watson, Sociol- ogy and Anthropology; Chanda Stevenson, student; Estelle Red- din, Home Economics; Beth Per- cival, Psychology; Laurie Mur- phy, student; Roberta MacDon- ald, Business Administration; John Crossley, Political Studies.
Suggestions about Long Term Plans:
a) Should Women’s Studies be offered at all? Ifso what is the ra- tionale and how will such studies
relate to our Mission Statement and Goals?
b) If Women’s Studies should be offered, what is the most suit- able pattern for the curriculum:
— integrated elements of exist- ing courses in some or all disci- plines?
— independent courses?
— a coordinated sequence of courses?
— a minors program?
— a majors program?
c) If one of the options in b) is selected, a sketch of the cur- riculum should be developed in terms of goals for each element or course. Specific course descrip- tions could await approval of the report.
d) What is the most suitable administrative structure for the option(s) recommended by the Committee?
versity (over 100 to choose from) abroad. Save many dollars and pay UPEI tuition and fees... travel and see the sights ... sun... surf... ski-
ing???

Debating Society
Aristotle said, “ There are only two parts to a speech: You make a statement and you prov:: it.” This is the essence of debat- ing, producing logical arguments that your opponents can’t refute. On the converse, it is attacking the logical and evidential chinks in your opponents’ armor.
But debating is much more than this; it’s also thinking, act- ing, the thrill of competition, the glory of victory, the determina- tion that springs from defeat. Formal debate is complex, grace- ful and profound, while at the same time it is harsh, concrete and practical. It is one of the old- est activities of civilization, and a crucial right in modern democ- racies. You have an invitation to join us and train your mind
while developing skills in argu- mentation, analysis, and speech that will be a great asset to you whatever you do in life. You have
a chance to try your hand at the ancient art of public speaking and debating. Which controls almost every major facet of our society: government, law, and business, to name just the most obvious. Whether you are speaking in the House of Commons, addressing a jury, presenting a business report, defending your thesis, or just ar- guing with your spouse, the skill you develop with us will help you when you graduate.
Debating is an important and fun experience that you may never forget. It makes no dif- ference if you’ve never spoken in public before in your life; We are all learning and improving. De- bating is a difficult art, but one which is infinitely rewarding. Ev- eryone interested in finding out more about debating is encour- aged to attend our first meeting of the semester which will be held next Wednesday at 3:30 pm in Main 311 or call Bob Smith at 892-1646.

Rental Tips

AC
So ya swung a great deal to live in a townhouse? Now the only drawback is that you have to share it with seven other people.
Give yourself a pat on the back or a slap on the forehead depend- ing on whether or not your wis- dom and common sense was equal to that of Carleton’s Jim Kennelly, the university ombudsman.
Kennelly deals with about 125 cases a year when a student has problems with their landlord. Some of his pearls of wisdom:
- “A lot of people are finding the: cost of advertising expensive nowadays so many are posting notices on their front porch. So find a neighbourhood thot you’re interestedin, and just drive cr walk through.”
“When you're looxing at an apartment, look at the phone number. Phone the tenants back later...you can get maybe a more honest down-to-earth + n from the pecple living Lhere now.’
One of the most common corm. plaints Kennelly deais with is the failure of the iandiord to do re- pairs. Kennelly suggests writing any promised repairs into the lease.
“Tf it's on the lease and if you're recliy desperate, at least you have the grounds to ge to landlord-ten- art court and say the contract has been broken. -
