PHOTO BY STEPHANIE WILSON CFUR’s illustrious robot Furbot attempted to run for a NUGSS position, but as it is a robot and lacking human characteristics, its nomination form was denied. In order to kick some ass and represent for the more mechani- cally-inclined, Furbot advertised the Run Chico Run show that was supposed to be held on April 4th at Fyre. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled. THOMPSON RIVERS ace MBA MASTER of BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION -16-month program - new facilities - applied curriculum - networking + internationat exposure - beautiful surroundings Kamloops, BC Canada TS & ENTERTAINMENT License Problem Burns CFUR By KATHLEEN DE VERE NEWS EDITOR A last minute liquor license delay has forced GFUR to cancel a highly anticipated fundraising concert this week. The concert was originally sched- uled to take place on April 4 at new Prince George nightclub Fyre, and was to feature The Doers and Run Chico Run. The show was cancelled by CFUR on April | after Dave Mothus, owner of Fyre, called and informed the sta- tion that due to the club not having its liquor license, the radio station would have pay $500 dollars to rent the venue for the evening. According to Mothus, a hold-up- with the provincial government delayed the license, and the club could not officially open without it. CFUR was given the option to rent the club directly from the owners of the building, and bypass Fyre, for the cost of $500, however CFUR was unable to pay the fee or find an alter- nate venue in time, so the decision was made to cancel the concert. “T’m disappointed and sad,” said Bryndis Ogmundson, CFUR’s music director, and one of the concert’s organizers. “We were excited about the idea of a new venue in town that we could partner up with them for future shows, and give them a lot of exposure by talking about them on air as our venue of choice,” said Ogmundson. “I get a phone call Friday afternoon [from Fyre] saying we don’t have the license yet, and if you want the venue, we'd have to pay the owners $500... which we couldn’t afford. Dave was kind enough to say ‘if you want anoth- er venue, [’ll bring over my sound equipment,’ but there wasn’t time,” she explained. According to Mothus, he managed to arrange an alternate venue for the concert, and offered to bring his sound and bar equipment over to the venue for free, but by the time Mothus made the offer, CFUR had already phoned and let the bands know the show was cancelled. “T think he had good intentions, but he didn’t give us enough time,” explained Ogmundson. “I decided to cancel [the show] to give the bands some time to reschedule, to get the money back from the hotel rooms we booked for the bands, and to give peo- ple enough notice to change their plans.” There were just too many variables, she said, so CFUR decided to air on the side of caution in case an alternate venue did not come through. “Pm sorry that this mistake hap- pened,” said Mothus. “I did rent them an alternate venue and arranged for the stereo and the bar for new venue. I wasn't quick enough and I apologize. I hope this doesn’t reflect poorly on me as.a businessperson.” “I wish the best for them, but we don’t plan on doing shows there, which is too bad: because we were excited having a new venue in town and about doing shows with them,” said Ogmundson, So Long and Thanks for all the Fish Congratulations to Over the Edge staff members graduating in May 2005 Carolynne Burkholder EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Burkholder is graduatmg with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science.

MM CULTURE SHOCK Sub-Culture on the Go TRAVIS NIELSEN DISTRIBUTION MANAGER With the end of the school year fast approaching, many students are going home to work or... whatever. The sum- mertime is a grand adventure, It is with this grand adventure in mind that I begin to talk about my final sub-cul- ture for the year, the traveler. A mysterious group, travelers find themselves in strange and exotic places, enjoying the most amazing thing that the world has to offer: expe- rience in life, language, religion, mind, culture, and a plethora of other amaz- ing things, The traveler goes forward into the constantly changing world” and takes from it whatever he wishes to find. - However, the experiences and things that the traveler takes from the world around him or her is only part of their grandness; they are also grand storytellers, who tell their experiences to all who will listen. They do this in the hopes that people will be. awed and amazed at the. things the world has to offer, and maybe those who hear will be inspired to experience their own adventures. Another interesting thing is that travelers are usually collectors, but they do not collect things that are eas- ily found, instead they collect stories. The stories that they ‘hear from inter- esting and amazing people, are kept very dear to their hearts and minds. They collect them in journals or in books to tell to the whole world, or just for their own memories. Here at UNBC there are many peo- ple from different places, and even more that are travelers. They are often very open people. and enjoy telling their experiences to those who listen. You can. find many of these jovial characters in the Wintergarden, telling of their previous summers exploits and other interesting stories. These UNBC travelers understand that adventure is what the summer is about. They. would not miss it for all the money in the world, as it is their true passion, for they do not know life as the ties of ajob and responsibility to family. To the traveler, life is but sweet wanderlust. It is the taste of the exotic spices of India, or the sight of ancient Incan temples of Peru. It is certain that after experiencing the wonder that is the life of the trav- ele, you should never want anything ‘else, so as a way to end this academic year and start next year with the life and sight of a new person, I would suggest that you go out and travel this summer. You will not be disappointed.
