War and peace

continued from page 4 in the open or in secret, by over half of the countries in the world. The technology exists and the re- sources are available. This is the reality. To say that nuclear wea- pons can be totally eliminated is a big lie. Everyone knows when spring returns, the nuclear flowers. will bloom again.

What the American and Soviet peoples really want is for their governments not to spend any more money on their already. over- stocked nuclear arsenals. For the rest of the people in the world, they probably couldn’t care less. It’s not their tax money being wasted on the nuclear arsenals.

Prince Edward Island is a peace- ful place. No wars have been

fought for over a century on our soil, but we cannot project our good fortune on the world, thus distorting the reality of the situa- tion. In a way, people on P.E.I. are equally vulnerable. ‘At present, farmers are in a serious financial crisis, and U.P.E.1. graduates are having difficulty finding decent jobs, In my opinion, the issue of youth unemployment, which is a gross waste of limited human resources, is far more important and relevant to the students of U.P.E.1. than the overinflated anxieties of so-called peace activists.

We all want peace. We also understand the danger of war — whether it be nuclear, chemical, biological, or conventional. But, we must be rational and sensible in our attitude and actions.

Carnival Instincts Dear Editor:

The justified concerns about poor turnouts at the Barn lately were certainly put to sleep this past Friday, as Student Spirit was very much alive in the Panther Lounge.

IT’S MCDONALD’S BIGGEST GAME EVER!

There are over 6 MILLION prizes worth over 8.6 MILLION DOLLARS available to be won. Your chances of winning are 1 in 11! So play,

enthusiasm was incredible and no one doubted a Panther win. They

" won and the people in the lounge

went wild. Most students stayed well after the game to celebrate and enjoy the positive attitude ‘within.

This would seem to be a great prelude to Winter Carnival week and like the Panthers, can one doubt the success of this Carnival? Congratulations should go to Karla Smallman, Brian Jackson and the committee for all their

preparations to make such a full week of events. It would seem there is a lot of spirit at UPEI — students just have to show it off a bit. Parker Grimmer Elections Dear Editor: On February Sth and 6th, there

THE NETTED GEM

It is called “In Search of a Sun” and it is presented by the Inter- varsity Christian Fellowship. The show includes a slide presentation of aspects of modern youth cul- ture accompanied by selections of modern music. Following there is a panel discussion on the meaning and impact of the presentation. The show was held last year with many students in attendance. All agreed it was very entertaining and thought provoking. I had the opportunity to serve on a panel for the discussion afterwards. Any student wishing to serve on the panel this year may contact me at the Barn or on the phone at 566-0398. All students are en- couraged to attend what promises to be an entertaining event.

But if Danny doesn’t change, it soon will

And, no, Danny won't make it.
