MAKE YOUR VOICE ' HEARD!

The funding cutbacks that are being proposed by the federal government will have grave con- sequences for students. $85 million is being cut from the Canada Summer Works Program; consequently, an estimated 750 jobs for PEl students won’t be there this summer.

What are we going to do about it?

it is imperative that we, as students, speak out against these cutbacks. Acting together, students have a powerful voice. ,

It is our intention to run a campaign against funding cutbacks. If you are interested in helping leave your name and phone numberatthe

Fluff Patrol on thejob

By Bob Stanley

Stuffed animals are found in almost every woman’s room on campus and in some men’s rooms too.

The problem is that they are being kidnapped and held for ransom not only at UPEI,

' but at every university across

the country. They are usually held for a food ransom con- sisting of a burger and fries.

The MO (that’s police talk, eh, for modus operandi) is always the same. They send some fluff and warn the

‘ owner that if the demands are

not met, he or she will never see the “friend” again. Since the MO is so similar

. across the country it is feared

that this is no light-hearted joke, but rather is a major ring which is making big bucks selling these used toys to places like carnivals where they are easily fenced. It is also possible that one of the restaurant chains is trying to boost sales by forcing stu-

dents to purchase food for

the ransom.

"What did you learn

to stop this menace. Here are some hints on

every _11 minutes in Canada Q. solving your own kidnapping,

With a value of about $10.00 per animal, this is third only to drugs and prostitution in the crime business.
