AN ISSUE OF CHANGE

The New Year brings a
continuation of problem with
change.

Getting any that is.

In the past week the guys who
re-fill the ONLY bank machine
on campus seem to have taken
up a new address outside our
office. The UNBC bookstore/
cornerstore operations only
give change with a purchase,
the Registrar’s Office offers
change if you want to hop in
the seasonal line-up from
Hades and the good old change
machines still won’t accept all
of your bills,(although there
seems to be a remarkable
success ratio with breaking
toonies in half...) _

The result? People have been
coming quite steadily into the
newspaper office looking for
change. These desperate
individuals have expressed
their frustration with the
current situation.

So, how about a solution?

Suggestion one. Another
bank machine on campus?
Possibly a temporary solution,
but most bank machines hand
out twenty dollar bills. These

by Paul Berard
would result in the need for the
individual to make a purchase
on campus in order to receive
change. So, the addition of a
bank machine would result in
the need for a change machine
that accepts twenties.

Do you really want twenty
toonies?

Scenario two. A change
machine that actually accepts
twenties? This works, but how
large do you REALLY want to
make the coin storage area?
Given the number of
complaints that came into the
office in the past two weeks,
this solution would have given
out just under 1500.00 dollars.

That’s a really big storage
tray to accommodate that load.

These are just a couple of the
options that students have
brought to me, those who were
coherent enough in their mad
rage to make a comment, that
is. We here at Over The Edge
would like to hear you specific
edge on this issue, so feel free
to write us a letter. If there is
enough of a movement then the
inevitable will happen.

Change will come.

Eye on Campus:
A New Column

by Vince Yin oo

Hi, there! This is a new
column we’re working with in
a vain effort to gain a larger
readership for the school
paper. In this column, we get
someone with a tape recorder
(me) to go around campus to
ask about people’s opinions on
various issues On campus.
Unfortunately, the responses
were rather lukewarm. This
might be due to the following
reasons...

1: Nobody could think of
anything inventive to say.

2: People are really intimidated
by tape recorders.

3: People are really intimidated
by ME.

Y’know, #3 might be the case.

Must be because I had really
bad breath and everybody
knew it except me. Oh, well.
At least it reminds me to cut
back on the onions and garlic
on my next meal.

Being that nothing really
important happens in the first
two weeks of the semester
(that, and I could think of
anything better to ask), the Eye
on Campus asks...
