On
February
7,
students
all
across
Canada
protested
the
planned
cutbacks
on
Social
programs.
Education
was
the
top
concern
for
CNC
and
UNBC
students.
Students
from
both
institutions
felt
that
with
the
cuts,
comes
the
death
of
our
Post
Secondary
Education.
Throughout
the
day,
students
expressed
their
anger
towards
these
cuts.
Starting
at
CNC,
students
piled
into
the
lecture
hall
to
express
their
feelings
to
our
local
MLA's.
Lois
Boone,
Len
Fox,
and
Chuck
Fraser
(Candidate
running
for
NDP),
were
present
to
answer
almost
any
questions.
During
the
question
period,
a
number
of
students
voiced
great
questions.
Unfortunately,
they
were
not
getting
any
straight
answers
from
our
local
MLA's.
Simone
Thaire,
a
CNC
student
commented
to
these
cuts
saying,
"They
shouldn't
be
jeopardizing
our
education,
by
cutting.
We
are
going
to
be
so
uneducated
that
we
will
not
know
enough
to
be
a
politician
or
a
dentist,
instead
we
will
be
working
lower
wage
jobs."
CNC
students
then
headed
up
to
UNBC
to
take
part
in
a
rally.
Due
to
the
misunderstanding,
UNBC
students
had
already
finished
their
rally.
A
bus
then
loaded
students
from
both
schools
to
take
them
to
the
Internet
Cafe
to
finish
their
protest.
There
was
a
lot
of
enthusiasm
amongst
the
students.
Some

JAGGED
LITTLE
PILL
K.Link
Alanis
Morsiette
has
infiltrated
the
music
world
once
again.
She's
back
with
an
absolute
vengeance.
Her
pulsating
voice
almost
cuts
right
through
you.
The
lyrics
to
her
songs
exhault
a
surprisingly
true
meaning.
Like
the
tune
"Ironic"
screams
the
ideals
of
Murphy's
Law
in
a
very
new-fashioned
way.
She's
dressed
down
to
a
grunge
look
and
changed
her
image
completely
from
a
few
years
ago.
On
an
interview
with
Muchmusic
she
states
"I
feel
like
I'm
doing
what
I
was
always
meant
to
do."
Her
CD
can
be
found
around
town
at
your
favorite
music
stores
for
under
20
bucks.

As
many
of
you
are
aware,
there
are
many
new
performers
out
there
in
the
music
industry
today.
I
was
looking
in
one
of
the
many
music
stores
painted
to
resemble
death,
a
petition
was
being
signed,
and
everyone
in
the
Cafe
was
holding
a
sign
protesting
the
cuts.
To
begin
the
rally,
a
funeral
service
was
offered
for
our
Post
Secondary
Education.
It
was
a
touching
ceremony,
that
ended
when
the
acting
minister
stopped
and
said
that
Post
Secondary
Education
was
not
dead
yet,
and
nor
will
they
let
it
die!
The
students
then
carried
the
coffin
representing
Post
Secondary
Educaton
around
the
downtown
area
letting
the
citizens
of
Prince
George
know
student's
feelings
on
the
cutbacks
in
our
education
system.
It
was
hard
not
to
miss;
about
150
students
took
to
the
streets,
and
even
stopped
traffic
to
get
their
message
across.
Students
of
CNC,
UNBC,
and
all
across
Canada
know
that
with
the
cutbacks
Post
Secondary
Education
will
be
costly.
With
the
cutbacks,
Canada's
Student
Loan
Program
and
Granting
will
disappear,
leaving
students
to
go
to
financial
institutions,
and
apply
for
local
bursaries
and
scholarships,
and
we
all
know
how
hard
it
is
to
get
those!!!!!!
This
was
one
of
many
protests
that
are
planned
to
let
the
Federal
Government
know
that
we
as
students
will
not
put
up
with
the
cuts
in
this
area.
If
you
would
like
more
information
on
the
cuts
and
how
they
affect
you
information
is
available
in
the
Student
Association
office.
here
in
Prince
George
the
other
day,
thinking
that
my
ears
could
stand
to
listen
to
some
new
and
exciting
tunes.
However,
I
couldn't
seem
to
find
anything
that
seemed
all
that
appealing
to
my
naked
eyes.
Yet
there
it
was,
a
new
CD
that
was
just
calling
my
name.
The
CD
was
titled
the
"1996
Grammy
Nominees"
and
it
seemed
to
have
a
lot
of
familiar
names
on
it.
So
I
thought
that
I
could
live
a
little
and
buy
it.
Now
keep
in
mind
that
my
CD
collection
mainly
contains
country,
and
I
am
not
one
that
is
all
that
much
up
to
change
in
a
great
hurry
especially
when
it
comes
to
my
eyes
and
ears.
But
I
figured
that
if
these
people
are
good
enough
for
a
Grammy
nomination
then
I
guess
they
can
be
good
enough
for
me
and
my
car.
Needless
to
say,
I
bought
the
CD
and
I
love
it.
I
think
I
have
just
found
a
new
favorite
song
(and
it's
not
country).
It's
"Kissed
by
a
Rose"
by
Seal,
many
of
you
have
probably
heard
this
song
many
many
times.
But
remember
my
collection
is
mainly
country,
so
I'm
just
new
this
kind
of
music.
This
CD
would
be
great
for
anyone,
it
has
a
great
selection
of
music.
Straight
from
the
heart
of
Country
to
the
ears
of
rock.
