unacademic, and sometimes terminally boring, element
down town. Students wouldn’t have to drive or take the |

instead of that

bus back to campus after drinking downtown. A bar |

would bring money into the university, as they do on |
other campuses, so that next year there might be some
money for needed programs. It would also provide a|
place for people to smoke in extreme weather. If the
administration still won’t support a bar maybe we could
get their support by banning men from it ( don’t laugh
this has worked in other cases).

Every other university in BC has a bar on, or extremely
near, campus and many colleges the size of UNBC gave
a bar on Campus, yet we have none. Hopefully the new
student government will work toward a bar on campus
to bring us into line with other institutions in BC.
Although you may have different problems or gripes
about our new university I urge you to make your views
known so that we can work for an improvement in the

near future. »

Edge —

volunteer some time to help
keep you afloat. As for now,
all I can do is send you the
enclosed token that I will
indicate that I am behind you.
Students need a forum that is
independent. I hope that you
can continue to fill that role.

To Whom It May Concern:

Here is my futile attempt at

strange and maybe not quite

interesting, but sine you’ve °

been complaining a lot lately
about the death of the paper,
I decided to attempt to write
something that just might
amuse someone. If you don’t
