English 101 Scheduled to last day

by Ellen Perry ~

STUDENTS WANT TO KNOW why the exam for the mandatory English 101 course is held on the last day of exams.

Louise Gay, associate registrar, says it is scheduled this way so as to best ac- comodate students and pro- fessors alike. “Because some students in their senior year are taking 101 in combina- tion with their other courses, [this] wouln’t allow the 101 to go any earlier on the sched- ule”,says Gay. She says this reduces the chances of the English 101 exam conflicting with their other exams. Pro- fessors are also accomodated by putting English 101 on the last day, she says. Enroll- ment in this course is limited

to around 25 students and has a common exam, mak- ing the exams easier to mark. Because they take less time to mark they can be placed nearer to the deadline for submitting marks.

Gay says that the exam must be scheduled on a week- end or a night to accomodate part time students who may be working during the day.

Senate Happenings

Nancy Lovering

Hello! My name is Nancy Lovering, and I am one of the seven student rep- resentatives on the U.P.E.I. Senate. I will be writing a short article after every Sen- ate- meeting to inform the campus community of what is happening on the Senate. For anyone who is interested, complete Senate minutes are posted on bulletin boards in Robertson Library and out- side the bookstore.

The fourth Senate meet- ing for this academic year was held on Friday, Novem- ber 20. At the last meet- ing several problem areas, in- cluding drainage on campus paths and the possibility of an enterance from Mt. Ed- ward Road, had been men- tioned to the President. Dr. Eliot said these areas have been referred to the Build- ings and Grounds Commit- tee. = =

In the President’s Re-

that the Safety Committee will examine procedures fol- lowed during the recent cam- pus fire in order to see if the University was acting re- sponsibly with regard to the safety of students and staff. A special convocation will be held on Sunday, Novem- ber 29 to honor the 100 an- niversary of Lebonese set- tlemant on Prince Edward

Island. Besides the pre- sentation of honorary de- grees to two prominant mem- bers of the Lebanese commu- nity, Joe Ghiz and Doreen W. Kays. Students who have completed degrees this semester will be able to re- ceive them if they wish.

The Mission Statement Committee gave a report that the new calendar will be somewhat different than the present one. U.P.E.I. now has a mission statement, which will be published in the calendar. Much of the

Gay was reassuring when she said next December the English 101 exam will not be held on the last day. She said, that when English 101 falls on the last exam day one December she makes sure it doesn’t happen the follow- ing December. However this does not apply to April ex- ams, when the English 101 exam may again fall on the last day of exams.

Theatre Society “hams it up”

On Friday, November 27, as previously announced, the UPEI Theatre Society will be “hamming it up” in the library ‘Pit.’ under the mar- velous direction of our “head ham”, Terry Pratt, we will be letting the bacon fly as we present the short victo- rian farce “Box and Cox.”

Shelly Rob- bins and David Larsen (the ‘also starring’ hams) along with Terry Pratt are ready and eagerly awaiting Friday’s showing times of 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. we have been

*strutting our stuff’ in public rehearsals in the ’pit’ for past weeks and we will be well prepared to face the masses for the real thing by the time friday rolls around.

If you have seen us re- hearsing and maybe got a chuckle out of our still some- what rough hewn actions then just you wait. On opening day we will deliver polished timing never before seen in the history of the “Pat.” So be there, you won’t regret your decision. You may even enjoy yourself

enough to consider: joining our ‘Merry Troup’ for next term’s major production and do a little hamming of your own.

See you there, bring your funny-bone. Bring a friend. Bring the wife and_ kids. Bring the cat and dog, but bring yourself to the “Pit” on Friday, November 27. We’d hate to miss your smiling face.
