UNBC Student Makes Good

It's good to get involved in
your school. Student Erin
Kinghorn, a fourth year Po-
litical Science Student has
recently been awarded the
Scotia Bank Award of Ex-
cellence, a national prize
honouring a university or
college student who had
made an extrodinary contri-
bution to the school or com-
munity.

"I'm thrilled about it," she

said.
Kinghorn, who was nomi-
nated by the Social Pro-
grammer of Kwantlen Col-
lege, in Richmond, felt the
award was doubly impor-
tant because this is the
award's first year.

"It's nice to see UNBC is
setting standards at the na-
tional level."

"This is the first year the
award's been given out," she
added.

The award recognizes her

part in establishing the
UNBC Student Society. She
is now the Director of Social
and Promotion and does free
campus tours on Sundays.

Kinghorn was also ap-
pointed as one of 10 students
on a student advisory board
which will advise Scotia
bank on financial issues re-
lating to students.
Erin will be travelling to
Toronto to receive the award.

Notification of the award
was presented to her at the
recent National Conference
of the Canadian Organiza-
tion of Campus Activities
(COCA).

"I'm thrilled about it.
Think it's a huge honor," she
said.

Excellence,

Edge Editor. . . (?)

I must confess, I am not
an Edgy Editor, at least not
anymore. Too many poli-
tics. Now I just do the same
job without the nifty title.
Amazing how by my own
choice I chose to put up with
the same shit from the same
people issue after issue.
Production is one thing,
Editorial is another, and the
current editor's wages aren't
enough encouragement for
this UNBC student to put up
with the "freaks" that call
themselves newspaper
people. Unfortunately the
freaks aren't much different
than those calling them-
selves academics. At least
that's the case at this fine
learning institution. Both
parties seem more con-
cerned with making sure
their noses are brown and
they never venture into the
realm of the politically in-
correct. I say if you're go-

years of my life.

ing to assume the title take
the grief that goes with it. Of
the two titles I would rather
be considered an academic.
Imagine dedicating one's life
for the purpose of being
bright, wonderful, and excit-
ing. I am sure that one day
pigs will "really fly” and
someone will, with their the-
sis on the concept of creation
as seen in all five books of
the Hitchhikers Guide to the
Galaxy, pass. Sure. . . and
one day the Edge will be-
come a real paper with staff
writers and editors that actu-
ally do their work on time.
At least I am honest when I
say, "I don't think that's my
ideal way to spend the ‘best

Instead I choose to ponder
the thought that the next se-
rial killer could be sitting
next to me in English 300, or
even better that same person
could be looking back at me

Personally I think they are
just waiting to be asked some-
thing they actually know, so
they can shine for a moment
or two. After all that is a true
human inclination, one of
which even I a mere student
share. If you have a question
or comment why then damn-
it don't you just ask!

On that note, layout seems
to be lagging and another

or question about the way the

please recognize that this edi-
