The
Native
Students
Club
by
Velda
Horning
At
the
beginning
of
the
academic
year
Doug
Brown
and
Joanne
Coombes,
the
Co-ordinator
and
the
Native
Student
Advisor
for
the
Native
Education
support
services
helped
set
up
and
organize
the
the
C.N.C.
Native
Students
Club.
Brown
and
Coombes
have
stepped
aside
and
let
us
run
things,
but
are
still
available
to
hep
us
sort
out
the
details
of
organizing
events.
If
a
Native
Student
needs
help
in
any
way,
both
Doug
Brown
and
Joanne
Coombes
are
very
easy
to
approach.
If
they
can't
help
you
they
usually
blow
who
can.
The
C.N.C.
Native
Students
Club
owes
these
tow
a
thank-you.
Now
to
get
on
about
the
Club.
The
purpose
of
the
Native
Students
Club
is
to
provide
the
Native
Students
with
an
opportunity
to
meet
other
Native
Students
(there
are
a
lot
of
people
from
out
of
town
in
the
Club).
We
have
a
members
from
Bella
Coola,
New
Aiyansh,
Manitoba,
Rivers
Inlet,
Fort
St.
James,
Burns
Lakc.you
get
the
idea.
The
Club
also
helps
us
organize
native
and
student
events
that
we
are
interested
in.
We
have
elected
;our
executive
body;
President
Jimmie
Glover,
Treasurer
Ben
Haizimsque
and
Secretary
Christine
Dawson.
As
you
can
I
have
appointed
myself
the
Public
Relations
person.
We
have
set
about
trying
to
bring
ihe
public
to
awareness
about
our
Club
and
hopefully
increase
membership.
We
are
operating
a
pretty
informally
right
now,
as
we
are
doing
our
best
to
improve
our
system.

So
far
we
have
been
getting
along
quite
well,
our
President
Jimmie
Glover
put
on
a
presentation
for
a
group
from
the
Tachee
reserve,
which
explained
what
our
Club
is
about
and
created
interest
in
our
plans.
Due
to
the
positive
reaction
to
Glover's
presentation,
we
will
be
holding
a
Luncheon
for
the
C.N.C.
faculty,
so
we
can
present
to
them
what
we
have
done
and
what
our
future
plans
are.
The
members
will
be
bringing
in
traditional
Native
foods.
We
will
also
be
holding;holding
a
Christmas
banquet
for
the
Native
people
in
the
area
(including
C.NC.
students).
Our
President
has
signed
up
for
a
team
for
the
snowball
competition
put
on
by
the
Students
Council.
We
have
started
our
Thursday
night
video
showing
at
7:00
pm
in
room
2-723,
which
we
have
twice
a
month.
We
are
also
planning
a
bake
sale.
The
Native
Education
Support
Services
has
reserved
room
2-723
from
12:00
to
4:30
pm
on
weekdays.
The
room
contains
a
computer
(donated
by
C.N.C.),
a
typewriter,
a
small
couch,
tables
to
work
on
projects
and
coffee
provided
by
the
Carrier
Sekani
Tribal
Council,
which
we
collect
a
donation
for
cream
and
sugar.
Often
you
will
find
students
in
our
drop-in
room,
but
if
you
don't
Joanne
Coombes
or
Doug
Brown
can
tell
you
about
our
club.
Watch
out
for
meetings
and

Silence
!
By
Jason
Richards
j
Silence
is
the
sound
of
nothingness
that
greets
"!
us
when
our
sense
of
hearing
registers
no
sensory
.
input.
Silence
is
familiar
to
us
all.
It
is
a
time'
when
our
brain
can
relax;
thoughts
can
flow
freely
and
uninhibited
into
our
conscious
awareness.
Silence
can
usually
be
found
where
intense
concentration
is
required,
such
as
in
tennis,-powerlifting,
chess,
operating
rooms,
and
the
list
goes
on.
Quiet
is
also
found
all
over
the
world,
form
Asia
to
Canada
and
in
places
where
coriglomerarions
of
books
are
found.
The
places
are
called
libraries.
Sadly
enough
this
world
wide
hush
has
not
found
its
way
into
the
library
at
CNC.
As
a
rule
the
CNC
library
is
a
place
to
socialize
rather
than
study.
It
is
a
place
to
research
what
happened
last
weekend
and
to
delve
into
current
school
gossip.
This
behavior
is
healthy
and
important
since
we
as
humans
are
social
creatures,
but
it
should
be
done
outside
the
confines
of
the
library.
If
students
want
to
socialize
they
should
go
to
the
cafeteria
where
the
environment
is
condusive
tp
such
activities.
Institutions
such
as
UBC,
U
Vic,
and
SFU,
all
have
quiet
libraries,
Is
it
because
the
administrators
of
these
schools
understand
that,
to
set
high
academic
standards,
the
library
should
be
a
place
of
silent
study?
Or
do
these
institutions
have
.qtiitjibraries
because
the
students
there
are
much
more
considerate
of
each
others
needs?
More
than
likely
it
is
fpr
both
these
reasons
that
there
is
not
a
constant
din
of
conversation
the
libraries
of
higher
institutions
of
learning.
The
CNC
library
should
be
a
quiet
environment
would
encourage
students
to
perform,
and
the
degree
to
which
students
perform
is
directly
related
to
the
marks
achieved
in
school.
Since
students,
on
the
whole,
try
so
hare
to
get
good
marks
wouldn't
itmake
sense
to
have
a
place
to
go
that
helps
student
to
get
better
grades?
A
place
that
would
giveCNC
students
and
edge,
markwise,
when
applying
to
larger
institutions?
The
fact
that
the
CNC
library
is
not
a
quiet
place
to
study
is
everyone's
problem.
But
it's
the
responsibility
of
the
librarians,
as
caretakers
to
enforce
the
age-old,
tradition
of
silence.
The
librarians
should
demand
that
students
respect
this
tradition
so
that
CNC
can
have
a
decent
library
in
which
to
study.
If
the
Librarians
do
not
have
the
power
to
enforce
silence
then
it
is
up
to
the
administration
to
give
them
the
power
to
make
the
library
a
viable
option
when
students
want
to
study.
The
library
at
CNC
is
and
exception
to
the
norm
when
it
comes
to
atmosphere
and
environment
Why?
This
question
is
one
that
must
be
answered
on
a
individual
basis.
Hopefully
in
answering
this
question,
you
will
try
to
make
a
difference
in
the
volume
level
at
our
library.
