Kornered On Kampus

By Dana Schwehr

| hope everyone had a
restful reading week,
and got lots of home-
work done, so you don’t
have to do it later. | know
| did. | went home for a
couple of days to visit
my family, and get some
work done. | came back,
expecting to use the
Internet from my apart-
ment to get some more
work done on Sunday
night. However, because
| live in Residence, | was
shocked to find out that
my Internet connection,
along with every other
Internet connection in
both of the buildings had
been cut off until further
notice. The night | came
back. | was unable to
access the Ugrad email
server. Unfortunately,
CTS had emailed the
notice of the cutoff to
everyone’s UNBC email
address. | had no clue
what was going on, and
was rather upset that |
couldn’t get my research
done. The next day there

It was dumb, because
some people had to do
work, and tere wern’t
enought computers for
everyone to do what
they wanted.

was still no Net, so |
went to the Housing
Office to see if they
knew what was going
on. After all, you have to
apply for an _ Internet
connection through the
Housing Office. The girl
there could only tell me
that the Net was down
because there had been
problems with band
width; too many people
doing things on the inter-
net had crashed the sys-
tem too many times, so
they were looking for
ways to fix the problem.
Until then, there would
be no_ Internet in
Residence. | was told
that it should only be
down for a couple of
days.

Several thoughts
crossed my mind. Why
didn’t they do this during
reading week, when no
one was here? The
Internet connection went
down on _- Sunday,

February 27. That is at
the end, when everyone
back

comes to

It suck because | could-
n’t access my Web CT
courses

Residence, and wants to
get the research infor-
mation that he or she
accumulated over
Reading Break. | am dis-
turbed that a service that
| am paying for can sud-
denly be revoked like
that, especially when |
have no idea how long it
is going to be gone for,
or if | will ever get it back.
The idea that everyone
has to. pay for the
actions of a few individu-
als is not a pleasant one.
Also, this adds more
stress to the computer
system at the school,
which is already over-
loaded at the best of
times. So, | thought that |
would ask the people of
UNBC what they thought
about this issue. After
all, it does affect every-
one, maybe not directly,
but if you need to use
the computers in the
UNBC computer labs,
you will know what |
mean.

Your quirky ways and quick
smile may have gotten you
this far, but form now on you
will need a little more than
that to get you through. |
suggest a new haircut and
some dance lessons.

This week you could win free
stuff, but I’m not allowed to
tell you how because that
would cause a malfunction in
the temporal rift valley con-
tinuum time frame thingy.

Scorpio

As you are searching for a
summer job just remember
to repeat to yourself, “I’m
good enough, smart
enough, and gosh darn it,
people like me.”

Taurus
It is important to remember
in life that the container may
be misleading. It’s what's
inside that counts. So next
time you see someone put a
Cool Whip container in the
microwave don’t laugh
because it may just contain
Stirfry.

Sagittarius

This is your week to explore
your abilities. Go for that
course you've been told
about in natural massage
arts. You know you want to.

Gemini

Don’t pack away your
galoshes just yet. You still
have another month of
school to wade through.

Capricorn

If you ever decide to travel
out of the country this is not
a good week. | see bad trav-
el things happening in the
next week. Just don’t do it. It
would be bad.

Cancer
Your creativity will be
stretched to its limits his
week as you try to figure out
how to make something edi-
ble out of a can of beets, two
radishes and a cup of flour.

Aquarius
You know that you are com-
fortable with yourself when
you are willing to dance all
by yourself at the bar... or on
the bus or in the street or
where ever you get the urge.

Leo
That annoying rattle in your
pocket should not be
ignored. Especially since it
is caused by the medication
you were supposed to take
yesterday.

Pisces
| suggest you lay off the cold
medication for a while. Your
glazed look during class is
starting to get on your pro-
fessors nerves.

Virgo
Be kind to things you cannot
understand and water your
house plants this week. They
will appreciate it.

they abuse it then it
should be taken away.
