This
is
it,
folks.
This
is
the
last
issue
of
the
U.T.
season.
This
issue
is
also
my
last
(but
not
least,
right?)
issue
as
editor
of
The
Free
Press.
We
went
to
print
a
week
late
this
month
intentionally
-
to
allow
more
time
for
articles
and
student
submissions
to
be
collected.
I
think
you
will
find
this
issue
unique,
and
hopefully
pleasant
to
read.
This
thick,
twenty-page
issue
is
made
possible
by
all
the
teachers
and
students
who
sent
in
their
essays
and
articles.
I
found
them
a
joy
to
read,
and
I
hope
you
will
too.
It's
good
to
finally
see
student
input
in
a
student
newspaper.
I
hope
this
trend
continues
in
future
issues.
It's
good
to
see
the
last
of
the
snow
banks
withering
away
in
the
sun
and
rain.
Trees
are
starting
to
bud,
and
it's
time
to
start
planting
seeds
and
bulbs
for
the
upcoming
summer
months.
On
the
subject
of
spring,
it's
YARDWORK
SEASON
again.
Yard-work
season
is
the
time
of
year
when
everyone
in
the
Whole
World
who
has
a
yard
decides
(at
the
same
day)
to
clean
up
their
yard.
Everyone's
either
raking,
burning,
sweeping,
digging,
stacking
or
painting,
(or
all
of
the
above)
in
a
vain
attempt
to
make
their
yard
look
like
someone
cares,
now
that
the
clean,
protective
blanket
of
snow
is
gone.
And
what's
the
outcome
of
all
this
work?
Well,
aside
from
blisters
and
sore
muscles,
the
biggest,
most
gigantic
outcome
is:
GARBAGE.
Lots
and
lots
of
garbage.
Bags
upon
bags,
full
of
grass,
leaves,
and
whatever
else
was
lying
around
are
needed
to
be
disposed
of.
Naturally,
everyone
in
the
Whole
World
who
had
done
all
this
work,
and
who
had
filled
every
garbage
bag
to
the
tilt,
decided
at
the
SAME
TIME
to
haul
it
all
to
the
Munroe
Dumping
Station
on
Munroe
street,
Prince
George,
B.C.,
Canada.
I
don't
know
how
these
people
organized
it,
but
everyone
in
the
Whole
World
showed
up,
simultaneously,
at
the
SAME
TIME,
to
dump
their
huge
pickup
loads
of
trash
into
the
dumpsters.
One
could
imagine
the
vast
chaos
that
developed
when
the
Whole
World
was
there,
waiting
in
line.
The
whole
thing
would
have
had
to
be
planned
to
make
the
ordeal
any
more
organized.
Next
year,
if
I
have
to
take
a
load
to
the
dump
during
yardwork
season,
it'll
be
at
five
o'clock,
Sunday
morning.
This
past
week
has
been

and
cram"
time
for
the
U.T.
students,
who
are
desperately
preparing
for
final
exams
next
week.
A
U.T.
exam
schedule
is
included
near
the
end
of
this
issue.
I
find
it
very
disturbing
that
classes
are
still
in
session
the
week
before
exams,
i
understand
that
in
most
cases,
new
material
isn't
being
taught,
but
it
would
put
peoples'
minds
at
ease
knowing
that
they
weren't
responsible
for
showing
up
for
classes,
only
for
studying
for
exams.
It
would
be
nice
to
have
at
least
a
one-week
buffer
between
the
end
of
classes
and
the
beginning
of
exams.
The
only
good
thing
about
final
exams,
is
that
they
mark
the
end
of
school
for
another
year.
With
the
end
of
school
comes
the
beginning
of
summer
and
the
job
scene,
during
which
time
we
have
to
scrape
together
enough
money
for
next
year'
s
educational
experience.
With
that,
I
wish
all
you
U.T.
people
the
best
of
luck
on
your
exams,
and
have
an
excellent
summer.
Now
go
away.
