      Dear
      Fellow
      Students;
     
    
   
   
    
     
      So,
      how
      goes
      the
      battle
      troops?
      Don’t
      get
      discour-
     
     
      aged
      -
      there’s
      only
      (depending
      when
      you
      read
      this)
     
     
      about
      57
      days
      to
      Christmas!!!
     
    
   
   
    
     
      We're
      as
      busy
      as
      little
      beavers
      down
      here
      at
      the
      barn!
     
     
      We're
      working
      on
      a
      few
      things,
      including
      our
      lobby-
     
     
      ing
      efforts
      directed
      towards
      obtaining
      safe
      passage
      on
     
     
      University
      Avenue
      and
      toward
      trying
      to
      keep
      the
     
     
      Canada
      Employment
      Center
      on
      campus
      open.
      Cur-
     
     
      rently,
      we
      have
      two
      petitions
      circulating
      -
      one
      to
      send
     
     
      to
      city
      council
      regarding
      the
      safe
      passage
      issue
      and
     
     
      one
      to
      send
      to
      Mr.
      Valcourt
      regarding
      the
      Canada
     
     
      Employment
      Centers.
      In
      addition,
      we
      continue
      our
     
     
      ‘Enough
      is
      Enough”’
      campaign
      to
      protest

      payments
      to

      Would
      you
      like
      to
      know
      what
      goes
      on
      in
      the
      basement
     
     
      of
      Marian
      Hall?
      Probably
      not,
      if
      you’ve
      seen
      what
     
     
      goes
      on
      in
      the
      rest
      of
      it,
      but
      the
      basement
      is
      different.
     
     
      It’s
      the
      home
      of
      the
      U.P.E.I.
      Day
      Care
      Centre.
      Along
     
     
      with
      director
      Holly
      Smith,
      five
      full-time
      staff
      pres-
     
     
      ently
      take
      care
      of
      32
      pre-school
      children.
      Children
      of
     
     
      students
      are
      usually
      given
      priority
      over
      those
      of
     
     
      faculty,
      staffand
      the
      general
      public,
      provided
      there’s
     
     
      a
      space
      available
      in
      the
      appropriate
      age
      group.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Each
      day
      is
      scheduled
      to
      include
      art
      activities,
      play,
     
     
      rest
      periods,
      stories,
      snacks,
      colouring
      and
      some
     
     
      classroom
      time
      for
      the
      older
      children.
      Every
      week,
     
     
      time
      is
      set
      aside
      for
      movies,
      music,
      use
      of
      U.P.E.I.’s
     
     
      gym,
      skating
      in
      the
      winter
      and
      field
      trips
      in
      the
      sum-
     
     
      mer.
      It’s
      alot
      more
      fun
      than
      going
      to
      university,
      and
     
     
      with
      no
      mid-terms
      either.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      Day
      Care
      Centre
      is
      funded
      by
      a
      grant
      from
      the
     
     
      Government,
      and
      by
      parents
      whose
      children
      attend.
     
     
      Since
      beginning
      work
      there,
      Holly
      has
      tried
      to
      gain
     
     
      for
      her
      staff
      the
      benefits
      other
      university
      workers
     
     
      automatically
      recieve,
      such
      as
      Medicare
      anda
      pension
     
     
      plan.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Also,
      Holly
      believes
      the
      centre
      would
      benefit
      enor-
     
     
      mously
      from
      larger
      premises,
      and
      although
      she
      is
     
     
      grateful
      to
      the
      university
      for
      providing
      the
      present
     
     
      site
      rent-free,
      and
      with
      no
      charge
      for
      heat
      and
      light,
     
     
      Marian
      Hall
      is
      perhaps
      not
      the
      best
      place
      for
      it.

      of
      the

      house
      party
      are
      often
     
     
      not
      the
      best
      thing
      to
      be
      seen
      by
      four
      year
      old
      eyes
      at
      8
     
     
      a.m.;
      neither
      does
      Holly
      feel
      that
      it’s
      fair
      to
      the
      guys
     
     
      watching
      T.V.
