Modern Languages at UPEI The Modern Languages Club in now off and running on UPEI campus and we’re looking for- ward to a great year. All UPEI students can come and join us and take part in any of our activities throughout the year. Some of the following activ- ities are already underway. French Lunches Buy your lunch at the UPEI cafeteria or brown bag it. We’re in the back room of the cafeteria. Come practice your French, tell a French joke, (laugh at others try- ing to speak French), be laughed at trying to speak French. It’s all in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. French Movies Every Wednesday evening at 7pm in Lecture Theatre A of the AVC. There is a French language movie shown to the public. Free admission. We are also planning a social evening in the near future. Look for details around campus. And we hope to travel to a franco- phone area during the February break. If you have any ideas for the MLC, or if you would like more information, drop by to see us on Wednesdays at the French Lunches, and keep an eye on the GEM. The Modern Language Club WUSC MEMBERS MEET by Sam Okello While many Canadians en- joy the fruits of a booming economy, developing countries have constantly suffered the twin calamities of internal conflict and draught. At a meeting held this week in the Main Building, participants of the World University Services of Canada (WUSC) discussed possible solutions to the prob- lems of the Third World Coun- tries. Among those who attended the meeting were WUSC Faculty Advisor, Dr. David Morrison and several other students. Morrison sug- gested a fund raising campaign geared to commemorate the Oc- tober 16th World Food Day. This is a day celebrated annually all over Canada and other countries to create awareness of the poverty which causes hunger. Page 14 “HIT ANY KEY TO CONTINUE” We finally have an interim yearbook staff and they’re ambi- tious and ready to go. One very important point, the yearbook doesn’t happen on its own. These people are looking for volunteers, there are lots of jobs to be done and this is a great way to get involved. If you are inter- ested in helping and/or learning, call Dawn at 566-5413 or leave a message at the Barn. Interim Yearbook Editor — Dawn Ambler Interim Yearbook Production Editor — Jim Macgrath Interim Yearbook Photographer — Stephen Bettles SSSSS Such a suggestion by Morri- son was responded to by the par- ticipants. They all agreed to per- form a fund raising activity on October 12th. The money raised as a result of this activity will be channeled through World Vision, a non-profit agency. In addition, World Vision will donate this money to Third World Countries to support vi- tal areas such as the food sector, water projects, and agriculture. Such a move is intended to pro- mote agriculture production and rural development in economi- cally poor countries. It is known that the Third World represents the poorest countries of the world. These countries are characterized by low per capita incomes, shorter life expectancies, small scale indus- trialization, and minimal health care systems. S S To better understand and de- velop a feeling for the poverty of developing countries, we should get involved as supporters of self- help community level projects. Such is the goal that WUSC strives to achieve. ‘The efforts of those who contribute towards this goal is highly appreciated. WUSC is a non-profit, non- governmental organization in- volving the Canadian Commu- nity in social and academic devel- opment at home and abroad. WUSC invites your inquiries or participation.

The de- bating society is flying. We have been holding impromptu debates weekly. Resolutions for the past . two weeks have been: 1) Be it re- solved that they salvation of the society lies in the Arts not the Sciences. 2) Be it resolved that progress is an illusion. We are using parliamentary style. De- bates are given 5-10 minutes to prepare. It is a terrific (as well as scary) experience to partici- pate. Intriging to watch. Anyone is welcome anytime. Unfortunately we will not be able to send teams to partici- pate in Queen’s University Gauis Ceasar Caligula Novice tourna- ment. Togas must be worn while de- bating and the resolution for pre- pared rounds is; be it resolved that I can resist everything ex- cept temptation. On the international level, if we increase our skill a bit I sup- pose we could attend the World Championship at Princeton this year. Also, the Canadian In- New Update ternational Debates Council is sending 4 debators from across Canada to Moscow for a se- ries of four debates concerning such issues as the value of the NATO and Warsaw pact alliances and the clash between individ- ual liberty and collective security. If sucessful, a debates congress will be proposed for January or February of 1989 to include many more Canadian students. Approximately 4 teams of 2 will attend the Dalhousie Inter- national October 28-30. There is still room for more. It’s a great chance to get your feet wet. The Sunday prior to the tour- nament at Dalhousie we are host- ing a Debating Workshop. The workshop will take place Sunday, October 23 at 10:30am—4:00pm in lecture theatre D at the Atlantic Veterinary College. There will be a small registration fee. Anyone and everyone is welcome, more on that next week. Have a big arguement this weekend. Join the Debating So- ciety for some more!
