took the “late, late” bus on week nights? B O R FD 2

BY CHARLOTTE —

Are you just a little frustrated with the
bus service? Do wait up to an hour for
connections? Are you one who has to
leave your night classes early in order to
catch the 9:15 bus? Are you scrambling
for drives on weekends because the bus
Only runs until §:30 on Saturdays and not
at all on Sundays?! |'m going crazy! I'm
sure I'm not the only one. Although,
before | start bashing the bus service, |
want to say first that the bus drivers are
great. They are always very friendly and
helpful in getting connections the best
way they can. Compared to the bus
service in other places, | rate these bus
drivers the best.

Now | would like to make a small
correction in the schedule. The number
20, that does the night route. Well, on
top it reads Monday to

Saturday.... WRONG! It should read
Monday to Friday. One poor student,
thinking this was right, waited and
Waited and waited for that number 20
on Saturday at 9:16, but it didn’t come.
§0, a $12.00 taxi ride later, she was
finally home. INSANE!

Now were you one of the lucky ones that.

The one that leaves at 9:48pm? Well, if
you haven't seen all of Prince George yet,
you get a tour of the city for only a
dollar! Great price, but you've had a
long day of classes, papers, studying, and
it’s dark...you just want to go home! |
was the only person on it. The bus
driver and | had a great chat (for an
hour!) And she said that people that
take this bus once never take it again!
Well you better believe it lady!
UNBELIEVABLE!

§o what can we do? Well one person
can’t make a big difference in this
situation. Even if you don’t take the bus,
you may have to someday...help us out.
Student Services gave me a couple of
numbers to call where you can actually
talk to a HUMAN! Wow! it is NOT the
563-0071 where you hear: “Press 7 for
this and 2 for that and 3 for the other

OF MY MIND!!! You can get the numbers
at the newspaper office.

Okay, I'm calm now. We could have a
great bus service if we just get a few
minor problems worked out, enjoying
our trip to and from the University with
our friendly bus drivers!

Don't worry; we all get
bored sometimes. It’s a natural course of
having way to much energy, way too
much time on your hands, and way too
little to do. You could go to school and
study in the library for a about eight
hours straight, or you could go and hang
Out in the newspaper office like some of
Ws do. Or you could discover (or
rediscover) all of the fun possibilities of
your own home (or rez).

For starters, everybody
knows about Kraft Dinner (or the $.39
generic brand alternatives). You can
wander about your kitchen, searching
high and low, and you can put a little of
everything that you can find into the
Kraft Dinner pot. Whether or not you
actually EAT this little concoction is up to
you. | would recommend trying one
small bite, then proceeding to spit this
half-chewed bite into the nearest trash
recepticle. Or it might actually be
edible. You would have the added bonus
of something that resembles a meal,
even though you would lose the fun of
forcibly ejecting partially-masticated
macaroni product in a fit of nausea.

After that, you can try out a
wonderful recipe that is sure to brighten
Up your day: you take about three or
four packages of Jello mix, and put them
into a toilet. Stir it with something that
you have no urge to keep, and leave the
mix overnight. The next day, the Jello
should have set, leaving you with a toilet

- ow! full of solid gelatin. Green flavour

works best. Apparently, the whole mess
should in fact flush down the toilet,
Creating some plumbing problems. |
wouldn't know for sure. I've never done
anything dumb and senseless like that.
Honest! | got the recipe from a friend.
If it were to work, | would not
recommend doing it at home, as this
would make the plumbing problems
YOUR plumbing problems. Do it at some
public building or another. But not the
University, of course.

Still bored? Try to pay your
Mastercard bill with your Visa, and vice
versa. Or try calling a cab from Emerald
Taxi, and get him to take you to the PG.
Taxi dispatcher’s office. Or try to make
Coffee with nothing but and old T-shirt, a
saucepan, and a.cup. Or try beating

_ your head against a cement wall until

you pass out. The beating of the head
doesn’t kill much time, but being passed
out does. Or try getting passed out
through other means. Or try going into
a drug store, taking a box of condoms,
going to the counter, and asking for a
fitting room. Or try to write a stupid
article for the newspaper so that they
can fill up the empty space.
