Residence II television
vanishes

By Dana Schwehr

During the early
morning hours of
September 30th, 1998,
the thirty-two inch tele-
vision set from the
Residence II common
lounge vanished mys-
teriously. The TV, prop-
erty of the UNBC
Housing Department
had been sitting in the
common lounge for
approximately four
years, in the same con-
dition, and had never
required anti-theft
measures. None of the
residents can believe
that their television
could have gone miss-
ing without someone
noticing, but somehow,
it did.

Due to the missing
television, and the fact
that all the pool cues

for the Res II pool table
need to be re-tipped,
the Common Lounge
has been shut down
until further notice.
This means that resi-
dents cannot use the
lounge for their floor
events, such as
potlucks or floor meet-
ings. Also, the cost for
a new TV will be taken
out of the damage
deposits of every resi-
dent in Res II, whether
or not they ever used
the common lounge.
The cost to the stu-
dents should be three
to five dollars, accord-
ing to Residence life
coordinator, Ali Geiger.
In the future, the
replacement TV will be
bolted down, and
deadbolts will be

added to both doors,
as the Residence |
lounge is set up. Also,
common lounge hours
will be more strictly
enforced, and no one
will be allowed in after
hours, which are
8:00am to 11:00pm.

On Wednesday, the
Residence Assistants
in Residences | and II
participated in a sched-
uled check of all win-
dow screens in the
buildings; this was
scheduled before the
TV was stolen, and had
nothing to do with the
fact that the TV was
stolen, according to
Geiger.

Of course, if the set
were to re-appear mys-
teriously, the residents
would not be charged

First Nations Art: A
Different Kind of Sale

By Nicole Larson

Diversity is the back-
bone of Canadian cul-
ture. There are people
living in Canada with
from origins around the
world. One of the major
groups on the Canadian
cultural landscape is the
First Nations communi-
ty. On October 2-4 the
fourth annual _ First
Nations’ Art Show and
Sale at the Native
Friendship Centre in
Prince George was
held. The sale show-

cased traditional Native
Arts, such as the Bark
Biting of Angelique
Levec and the leather
work of Heather Harris.

Along with the many
artistic creations there
was a_ performance
from the Rainbow
Dancers and _ singing
and story telling by local
First Nations artists.
This event showcased
many forms of creativity
and the diverse nature
of the Prince George

First Nations’ communi-
ty.

This was one of many
sales that showcase
local artists, but it had a
more distinctive tone
and flavor than many of
the craft sales and fairs
that are put on about
this time of year. For
those upset that they
missed the Art Show,
the gift shop at the
Native Friendship
Centre is open year
round.
