Club Feature:
Security and
Intelligence club

by Jeremy Fung

| put on my James Bond
outfit, grabbed my martini
(shaken not stirred) and
headed for the weekly meet-
ing of the Security and
Intelligence Club. Having lit-
tle or no information on this
club | had no idea what to
expect. Rumours that they
were Canadian Security
Intelligence Service agents,
or a militia group from the
States turned out to be com-
pletely wrong. And here | was
sitting in my 007 outfit in the
middle of a group of normal
students.

Anyhow, the Security and
Intelligence Club is really an
academic study group. There
is a solid core of 8-10 people
who attend the regular
Monday: evening meetings,
with a further half-dozen
members on their contact list.
The meeting began with
organization; the group is a
socially oriented club and
they were planning a few
events such as a lasertag
night and a pub crawl. It then
progressed to a discussion of
recent events in the Security

and Intelligence world. The
term security and intelligence
is actually a catch-all phrase,
it includes defence, law, ter-
rorism, environmental degre-
dation, human rights, and
transnational organized
crime. This particular session
included some recent CIA
events as well as a little
debate on the Hell’s Angels.

The club members are gen-
erally interested in careers
involving law enforcement,
customs, or working with the
foreign service. They are well
versed in the goings on in the
Canadian system of security
and __ intelligence. Paul
Christian, the director, along
with several other members,
explained what CSIS and the
Communication Security
Establishment are, and what
they do. They also explained
the relation between these
services, and the groups in
the US and Britain.

Anyone who is interested in
getting in touch with the
group can email Paul at

The weekend of March 6,
the UNBC Men’s Rugby Club
traveled to Vancouver to play
three playoff rugby matches.
Twenty-five players and the
coach, Bob Ormond, left
Prince George on Friday
March 6. On Saturday we
played against Trinity
Western University, a private
university with a superior
rugby program, we fought a
hard battle. Unfortunately we
lost 42-12. This was our first
time on a field since our last
game back in October, so it
took us a half before we
were used to playing togeth-
er. By that time they had
taken advantage of our lack
of playing time, and they
took the lead. The assistant
coach of Trinity Western said
“UNBC is the hardest hitting

team that his squad has ever
faced.”

Sunday, March 8, at 8:00
AM, we met Douglas College
on the pitch. This was the
team that left us stranded in
Prince George last October,
so we were out for revenge.
Under wet conditions, we
played with great intensity
and defeated them 17-15.
This win is the first intercolle-
giate win for any UNBC
team, so we are very proud
of that fact. We beat them on
the ball almost every play;
we played a hard, disciplined
game, which was tough con-
sidering their sloppy, undisci-
plined game. For the first five
minutes of the game,
Douglas tried to rattle our
skin with penalty after penal-
ty, but we played UNBC

rugby and took advantage of
their fouls. Once Douglas
learned our game style, the
game became very close.
Our hooker Rob Boucier
played like a raging bull,
knocking Douglas players off
their feet every play. UNBC
played perfect rugby and all
of our players played with
their heart and soul. This
was a very deserving win.
That afternoon we played

Western Washington
University from Bellingham.
We played them in

Whiterock. The game was
close and hard fought, but
we left our energy on the
field at the Douglas game.
Exhaustion got the better of
us, in the last thirty minutes
they scored three tries to win
27-12.
