Who told me back last March that when I was President, I could do whatever wanted?

Oh, Gordon

Alumni campaign to raise

The Hon. Mr. Justice Mark R. MacGuigan has been named the honourary chairperson of the 1985 U.P.E.l Alumni Fund Rais- ing Campaign. I - As. a. graduate. purine;

St. Dunstan’s University, class of ’51 and a recipient of an honourary degree from U.P.E.I. in 1971, Mr. Mac— Guigan is a staunch supporter of the university. He recog—

nizes the important role the ,2 mni plays in university life. _ Mr. MacGuigan ex- , “The word ‘Alumnus’

CO" from the Latin verb for

Juan; . ‘t’ . (ale). ., The. same Wales» College, class oil .149, ..

verb gives rise to the adjec- tive ‘nourishing’ (almus, alma).

“What we received from S.D.U., P.W.C., or U.P.E.l. is our most valuable property our education.

“It is only fitting that we, who were so nourished, should now do some nourish- ing in return. We can never pay back everything we re- ceived, nor are we expected

...to... But we make a partial

return, by helping our uni- versity so that it can nourish others in turn.”

The objective of the 1985 Campaign is to raise $15,000. Donations to this fund will help alleviate the financial

The Great smartie Challenge

By Lori Anne Heckbert

This is it, this is well and truly it.

You may never see or hear

( from me again. If my uni-

verse unfolds as it shOuld, I

7 won’t be returning in the fall,

I’ll be leaving the paper and

the Island —- not the uni- verse, but close. However, let’s not get

maudlin shall we? We have, after all, had something of a rocky road, you and I.

For today let‘s live in today and worry about tomorrow when and if it ever comes.

And so, I have prepared with the help of a newly formed group calling .them- selves P.W.C.T.F.N.A.R. (that’s People Who Count Things For No Apparent Reason) a survey which re- quires no reader assistance; as you may remember, I tried one that did a couple months ago and got one lone reply — such apathy, tsk. V

Oh, the survey. It’s even got a name: it’s the Smartie Challengell

Now, keep in mind this is

only a-- tva box sample, be: mm with: s! ..

the Barn broke last Friday when the great Smartie Chal- lenge was going down.

These are the colors you can expect to find in a box of Smarties: dark brown, light brown, orange, green, violet, yellow, pink and red.

The quantities of each

color varied per box; never-'

theless, the total of smarties per box dud not vary —— kinda nice toknow you’re always gonna ge' 5.5 srmrties when you buy a cox, isn’t it?

We found that dark brown smarties are rm the whole - more plentiful, “ollowcd far back in the pack by pink,‘ and then red and green.

There were fewer yellow"

smarties on the whole than any other color — maybe you should save your yellow ones ’tilthéTast! ‘ V Whipping out my trusty Solar Lady calculator with the mauve buttons, 1 dis- cover that the chances of your obtaining a red smartie from a given box of smarties is equivalent to 13.6% each time you dive into the box. In contrast, your chances run .around 7.3% for pulling a

yellow smartie outa the box.

When we divided the smarties randomly a tongst the three of us (we were sort of hungry after our exertions on your behalf). we discovered our chances were fairly even-Steven of choosing

any particular color. You will ,

I trust, be happy to hear that I got the most red ones.

We considered sitting down and going into a philo- sophical dissertation on the colors chosen by the Smartie people, and why they appeal to persons with diverse psy- chologies, but by the time we decided whether or not to get into it, the smarties were all

I gone anyway. Incidentally we

made no conscious effort to eat the red ones last, although I personally recall saving 3 out of the 6 l gathered in .the random choice.

That’s it for the Smartie Challenge. I wish all of you luck in the coming exams. 1 hope some of your memories of Lifestyles will be fond, or at least short of blatantly antagonistic.

Do take care won’t you: Have a-swell summer.

J ' WUSC makes plans:

“No” to formality

By Michael Zinck The reg"‘r‘" WUSC local committee meeting took place in the Economics lounge. Thur-

sday March 28 at 6:30 p.m.

A new o;‘_"3'ary was ac— claimed, Michael Zinck, after Leo Chew“- resigned due to time con." rain” _

The local committee dis- cussed the serecuon of a new refugee and it was decided that the executive would make the final choice and then convey the results to the full local comrrittee.

Because the refugee appli- cation contains personal in- formation, it was felt this process should be kept to a small group.

The committee decided to work to keep the meetings free from formal motions except on issues of money and the striking of com— mittees. It was felt a free. wheeling atmosphere would

money

strain on the university com- munity.

Within the next week, Alumni members will receive a pledge card in the mail. /-‘

contribute to a better and more open meeting.

The committee is looking into hiring an organizer for one week to plan the WUSC publicity tour of PEI. The position would be paid ‘for by WUSC Ottawa. The publicity tour would spearhead a fund raising drive in the local com- munity and would provide the WUSC local committee with a higher level of com- munity visibility then it now has.

r Fund raising was also dis- cussed and it was decided to strike a committee to organ— ize activities over the sum- mer months. This is neces- sary, as WUSC must have all its funding in place to ‘over the cost of the new refugee arriving in late August. In addition, it was felt that a small committee would be more effective and better able to coordinate its activities than simply leaving it up to the members at large to meet and plan events.

telephon will be held on April 9, 10 and 11th. Volun- teers will be calling graduates to elicit their support.

Some short notes: it was agreed to set a quorum for the meetings, this agreed to be 2 executive members and 5 local members. This car. he changed, however if atteno ance at meetings should grov And, a chequing account with the I resruent and ltcd- surer as cosigners for the WUSC local committee will be set up at the Charlotte- town b"anch of Central and Eastern Trust.

The WUSC local commit- tee will investigate the pos- sibility ot gaining 'l'eir 1 sub— organizational status. Any student who may have reason to support or oppose this measure should contact the Student Union Council with their views.

The next WUSC meeting will be held Tuesday, April

9th at 6:30 p.m., in the Economics lounge on 4th floor Main.

Everyone is welcome to attend.

The theme of this year‘s. campaign is “Metting thr Challenge”. A contribution. of any size, is appreciated.

An April Carrel

By Brian MncLeod

A recent poll of carrels in the Robertson Library reveals a higher incidence of female nudity than male nudity.

On 44 of the 106 de- corated carrels, there were posters of very nude women, as opposed to 2 of very nude men. Partially nude women outnumbered partially nude men 51 to 32.

A women’s rights group, the Female Front, is seriously considering action. Plans in- clude boycotting the Robert- son Library and immediately establishing an Anti-Carrel— Porn Committee. (Names of organizers were unavailable at press time.)

Other findings of the sur- vey reveal a higher number of horse lovers than any other type of animal afficionadas. Cats followed closely (6 and 4 respectively), and also found were monkeys, mice, frogs, a gorilla, a kangaroo, a teddy bear, _a bird, a bat, a cow, and a zebra.

In the cartoon department,

. humor won an overwhelming

victory over fanatasy and political cartoons (68, 35, 15) Advertisements ran ram- pant in carrel beautification schemes. Beer was the most prominent commodity, while guns, guitars, and the Planet- arium seem to inspire some to study. ' During this time year, all students seem a little time- oriented, and this can be seen by the 101 well-marked calen- dars posted in plain sight.

from this study, you might ask? .

Well, the most evident fact substantiated by this scienti-

fic, empirical research i.» ln'dt all you carrel owners are a little cuckoo.
