PLAY-OFFS
START

APRIL 1 st.

And the Race was on in the first and only UNBC Great Mascot Contest.

However the results have yet to come in.

The application deadline

(March 10) has come and gone and now UNBC students are left to
‘ wonder what now? That is provided they even knew there was a contest
(if not SURPRISE!). The contest was opened to all members of the
general public. Entries were asked to include a rough illustration of the

* proposed mascot, along with a brief description it and its relevance to
UNBC. Because additional development and refinement of the winning

entry has to be done creativity was encouraged. That’s supposed to have
meant all of us creative people that can’t even draw a stick man actually
had a chance to win (Not Likely). Oh well there was no notable prize

anyway.

The mascot will be licensed to the UNBC Fitness Center, with revenues
being utilized to develop athletic/recreation programs and acquire

additional equipment and facilities. *

Do you like to get up early and
spend most of your free time on
a bus? If so, the trip to the
Western Canadian Association
of Geographers Conference was
for you! The UNBC Geography
Club along with the entire
Geography Department faculty
attended the conference in
Victoria March 3-4. Funding
for the Geography Club
registration and
accommodations came from
three 50/50 Raffles held over the
past few months.
Congratulations go to the winner
of the Valentine's Day draw,
Emily Gable, who won

March 15 cnpeat and

March 29 The Amazonia Estuary

Dr aie Petticrew,

$184.00!! Thanks to everyone
who supported the raffles, even
though you lost. We would also
like to thank the Geography
Department for letting us tag
along on their bus with the
VCR!

Academics from universities
throughout western Canada and

the western United States
‘attended in record numbers.
UNBC was very well
represented in the paper

presentations by our faculty;
those tireless, dedicated, happy,
brilliant, articulate, peerless, and

just all around — sparkling
examples of humanity that
wander the halls of this

institution. (Or lurk in the
comers, as the case may be).
So, for those of you who had to
wait for your midterm marks,
you spend 12 hours confined on
a bus listening to the mellow
tones of a slightly out of tune
acoustic guitar and 6 tone-deaf
warblers, and see how much
marking you get done!

For some, who were lucky
enough to get in, one of the high
points was the coastal
ecosystems tour.
Representatives from U Vic
zipped us out on teeny-tiny
Zodiacs to the Race Rocks
Ecological Reserve and we saw
Harbour Seals, an Elephant Seal,
Stellar and California Sea Lions,
various birds and one jellyfish!
Other wild adventures included
-a walking tour of residential (A
architecture, and an intimate #f
look behind the closed doors of
Victoria's Chinatown.
If any of this sounds inviting,
and you want to be part of next
year's trip, contact any
Geography Club member, or
your family therapist. Next
year,..Lethbridge??
