spending the measly two dollars was well worth it.

Honestly, | haven’t laughed that hard in a while. Watching an OCD, sex-obsessed chick hitting on a man convinced he’s Hitler... now that’s funny. Though the show is completely unscripted, it’s hard to tell, for the actors are quick witted and up for the challenge. And even when they slip up, it’s still hilarious. The only part that sucked was when the show was put to an end. | could’ve been there for another hour, easy.

The show is set up so there are five actors. One plays the referee and four compete to be the best improvisational comedian. The audience also plays a role. There are three judges chosen from the crowd, a scorekeeper, and a police chef to make sure everything is in order. The referee has a few games set up for the actors, however the audience chooses the sets, scenarios and character personalities. It’s quite interactive and fun.

This production company is looking for a challenge. They would like for students from UNBC to come together to form an Improv Club and compete against the professionals.

Hopefully, with enough support, they will be back in March and we can show them our stuff! Come on, drama students, wannabe comedians, and actors, do you think you have what it takes to win this challenge? Do you?!

CLUBS EDITOR

There are numerous clubs around campus from the Acapella Choir, which recently sung to folks as a “Valentine’s special,” to the Young New Democrats, which is a politically active group of young volunteers. Some clubs bring people together though hobbies, such as quilting, Magic cards, and video games, whereas other clubs work towards a goal, such as equality in terms of gender, race, and sexuality. Being involved is an important part of University life and a healthy social life in general. So, if you cannot find a club on campus that interests you, it is never too late to bring people together and start thinking up ideas for your own club.

Nugss.unbc.ca is a great resource for all your club, committee and event needs. The following how-to guide was adapted from that very site.

Here’s how to start your very own club on campus:

1) Check through the list of clubs to find out if your intended club is already made. If that’s the case, then it would probably be more logical to become a part of that club.

2) Pick atheme. Video games, cooking, something you're, hopefully, interested in.

3) Then, give itaname. Make sure it’s suiting. Don’t go around with a name like “Monkey Rangers” or “Killer Bimbos from Outer Space” when your club is involved in, | don’t know, saving endangered whales. That’s just confusing. The name should have something to do with the activity you will be participating in.

4) Pick up the “Clubs Package” from the NUGSS office or download it online.

5) Gather a membership list. To become a club recognized under NUGSS, you need signatures from 20 people and 2/3 have to be UNBC students.

6) Create a Constitution. Take a look at guideline samples. Every club has to have a mandate or common purpose to be approved by NUGSS and the constitution should state it.

7) Submit all the documents to the NUGSS office to the VP Student Affairs mailbox. 8) Sign up for a club hearing time on a sheet that will be available in the office. 9) Show up to the interview and know the mandate of your club.

10) Wait for approval or refusal.

Are you still uncertain as to whether or not you’d like to create your own club? There are many benefits to being a NUGSS approved club. You receive funding for club events, can photocopy up to twenty dollars worth of stuff per semester, receive a free locker, and so much more. Being a part of a club is wonderful. Meeting people with similar interests is great. So, there is no time to waste. Go, have fun. Get informed. Talk to NUGSS. Do something, man. Don't just sit there reading this article thinking “Oh, yeah. It would be pretty sweet to have a comic book club on campus,” go, get it done! Make it happen! Start a club!
