ARCUP conference at St.F.X.

his weekend just past, Nov. 6-8, was the second regional

a. CUP conference of the year. St. Francis Xavier Univer

; sity was the host for this one, UPEI graciously hosted the

one last month. The winter-like weather of the weekend

couldn’t keep us ARCUPies down, we partied hard -- some of us

more than others -- and learned a little bittoo. The X-Press had

two delegates present, well, sometimes when I wasn’t running 45 minutes late.

The hot topic of this regional was, of course, CUP 55 in Decem- ber just outside Montreal. Topics covered this weekend in- cluded Women’s role in the media, minorities on staff, the new C+ contract proposal and all the usual information filled stuff covered these things. There were only three papers missing at this conference, those being The Watch, The Picaro (again) and The Queue. The next regional is tentatively scheduled for February 19-21 atthe Muse in Newfoundland. Ml
