We just thought we would blast you a quick little missive from the depths of our office, letting you know what we've been doing at CFUR. So, without further ado. CFUR recently welcomed a new staff member, lan Gregg. lan joins Station Manager, Fraser Hayes, and Music Director, Jordan Tucker, as the Program Director. lan is in charge of deciding what plays on the air when, and what our volunteers get up to. He also deals Jasmine Kirk Copy Editor f you have been following along with Timberwolves Confessions on Facebook, you have probably noticed that UNBC has a whole lot of horny people. A major fear for students (new and old, undergrad and master’s) is that they will be swallowed up by academia, forget how fo talk to people, and become the dreaded forever- student. You finish one thing, and feel as though the next will CERTAINLY get you a job. “lam all done with my undergrad. |'ll just finish my master's really quick, and then employers will want me!” Before you know it, you're doing a post-doctorate in Antarctica with community members a lot. CFUR is more like chocolate-covered broccoli than ever before: lan has set in place a whole bunch of new ways to make your volunteer experience even more enjoyable and beneficial! lan has put together a whole whack of workshops and mini-seminars to better instruct new volunteers. At the end, they will come away with a whole wealth of radio knowledge to put in their heads and resumes. It's pretty swell. To welcome lan, y'all should come to the station and do volunteer work for him as a present. (the best place on earth for your research), and living with ten too many cats. Prince George definitely does not help the aspiring dater. The abysmal club scene (it can be hard to find a decent guy at the strippers!) and the seclusion on campus makes it a challenge to find yourself a significant other in your short time on campus. If you want some advice, you're probably reading the wrong author... but let's give it a shot! 1) Show off some dance skills! Whenever someone is selling tickets to something, and they are playing sweet tunes in the Winter Garden, whip out your dancing booty! If you get into a dance battle, even better! You are an Your Friendly Neighborhood CUR Fraser is heading up something really exciting: the Northern BC Audio Archive. Thanks to a grant from the Community Radio Fund of Canada, CFUR is embarking on the ambitious task of creating an archive of all the music produced in Prince George and surrounding areas of Northern BC. A panel has been created to oversee and advise on the process, consisting of talented folks such as musician Jeremy Stewart, The Citizen's Norm Coyn, and the CBC's Andrew Kurjata. Stay tuned for more information. And of course, the music department is chugging away all tickety-boo. If you ever want to take a look at what's playing on CFUR, check out our website or our charts at Earshot and CMJ online. The list below is not representative of what's charting.. look at it more like a recommended listen. Here's a top ten of recommended album-y ear candy for you: CFUR's Music Director's 10 Recommended Listens Of The (Bi) Week (aka: what's cluttering my iPod at the moment) Single and Ready to Flamingle animal looking for a mate, and even if it involves getting down on the floor and doing some weird twisty thing on your shoulder on a piece of cardboard, you need to prove your value to the opposite sex! 2) Hang out in original places. Eat alone a lot (preferably studying with headphones in) - it demonstrates to people that you want some companionship. Sit on the grass in the bus loop, particularly in winter! The third floor of the admin building has some great couches that are rarely used; a great place to eat lunch! 3) Shush people in the library. It demonstrates a respect for education, both yours and others. This works best on the first floor, or even behind the library on the couches! Someone else is probably glaring at those obnoxious people anyways, so if YOU are the one to stand up and tell them to shut it, you will have people fawning over you. You might need a stick to keep them away. 4) Practice alternative sports; competitive tree-climbing, uphill bathtub racing, boomerang throwing, or extreme ironing. Make sure you play solo - a team is just going to bog you down. While you're at it - talk about them all the time. Make that your primary focus. People are attracted to originality, so definitely let them know just how original you are. 5) Be original and compliment things like women’s hips, hairlines, ankles, and knuckles. They need to know that they are beautiful everywhere - be specific. If you're speaking to guys, make sure you compare them to others. Tell them about your ex who had the biggest arms - it will make him want to work harder for your attention. Last but not least, DON'T GIVE UP! Be persistent, and stay positive - surely you will meet the right person someday. Just because you're not going to be able to enter the real world until you finish your PhD at 40 doesn't mean you still can't head on down to the bar and meet a fine new partner.
