February 5, 2001 Can You Make a Difference? You Win Some, You Lose Some THERE IS A PROCESS occurring right here on cam- pus. It is a subtle and quiet one, almost undetectable by those who may choose to ignore it. But it is happening, in our minds and souls as we look about our surroundings and ask ourselves, “How did things come to be this way? Can things get better? How can | make a difference? Facing up to these ques- tions can be exceptionally daunting and intimidating. But herein also lies a process: that of researching the issues, bringing the important questions into the public realm, and then pressing for change. Left: Capilano and the Timberwolves in the opening tip-off An individual need not walk this path alone or bear sole responsibility for all its facets, but certainly, each and every- one of us can commit to keeping the process alive. For modern society, this movement began in the early days of the industrial revolu- tion where factory workers witnessing the destructive force of the burgeoning megamachine, would throw their tools into the cogs to protest its social effects. Today, the machine is far more elusive, and, on the sur- face, the tactics have changed, but the spirit has not. We can keep it alive by edu- cating ourselves, finding alternatives, and by using the forces of the megamachine against itself to expose the injustices and unsustainabili- ty of our industrial culture. As students, throughout his- tory we have proven to be an extremely important and potent political force. At this time in our lives we have access to _ information, resources, the media, and an inherent ability to capture the attention of our community using these advantages. A position that will be difficult to achieve ever again. Take the opportunity keep the process alive!

By: Mel Bostrom The women had a slow start on Friday, up against Langara College, a team with a record of 8 wins- 1 loss. With a quick first half, beset by fast offense by Langara and some key moments of defense. The lady Timberwolves tried to keep it close, pushing them- selves to the limit. Yet, one has to wonder if they were missing the quick offense and the height of Nicole Kerr and Laura Foster, respec- tively. Both are out with knee injuries, they suffered at a tournament over Christmas break. With a final score of 73-40 for Langara, the T- Wolves fell to 1 win - 9 loss- es. Leading scores for UNBC were Heather Hausot 11 pts, Lindsay Anderson 9 pts, Christina Neufeld 8 pts and Nicole Ross 5 pts. The men faired a bit better, with another good crowd at CNC to support them. The Timberwolves, who were 4-5 going into the game against Langara who were 5-4, started the game with an early lead. Langara did not score until 16:48 of the first half, but then they picked it up with some good defense as well as offense. Less than 3 minutes left in the first half, a blocked shot and a quick run down the court tied up the score at 34. UNBC kept it close with some solid defense and missed shots by Langara. By half time, UNBC lead Langara 40-37. UNBC went on to carry the lead, then Langara held the lead at 5:27 with 73-69. Less thana minute left and the score is tied at 86. Two time-outs and 30 seconds later, Langara won the game with 14.6 sec- onds left. The final score for the game was 88-86, Langara. Leading scores for UNBC were Dean.
