It will be used to form bursary which will be given \a deserving member of the ‘usic society. At the mo- ent, the financial assistance t students enrolled in the usic program is extremely nited, so this bursary is leatly needed. The play- hon is also a good chance T everyone to come and see

Well, here we are, in the midst of winter’s icy grip; with little to do but pray for an early spring. Yet, take heart fellow students fore Winter Carnival time is here! It is your responsibil- ity to avoid the dreariness

of winter, so come out of ©

your oblivious hibernation, and join with the History So- ciety in the celebration of winter’s splendor.

To all of you Scots out there, it is sincerely hoped that you al had a spectacular Robbie Burns Day last Mon- day. It will be our attempt in future to remind all of you of such similar notable days.

-At our last meeting, a quorum decided upon a coat of arms for the History Soci- ety. We hope soon to pro- duce it on Beer Mugs and Shirts in the near future.

Members of the society are now selling tickets ($1.00 each) for a complete set of Is- land Magazines. You don’t have to be a History Major to appreciate this valuable record of our Island’s her- itage; so be sure to purchase a ticket, ““‘when our canvasser calls on you!”

Gratitude is extended to all members who _ partici- pated in the worthy week of Affirmative Action. We

all hope that through such student effort - the “people in high places ”, will realize that more funding is neces- sary to ensure high calibre in our University’s future schol- arly pursuits. Congratulations are also due to those members who

“soundly” defeated the Mu- ;

sic Society on the weekend. Yet, we know that future matches may not prove as favorable for our side, even though this time, we were the best “tuned” for perfor- mance.
