Instead of the "dark days of winter"
opening we usually offer in February, this
issue the Zone presents the top 10 reasons
to celebrate the year’s second month.

10. January Bookstore lineups a thing of
the past; 9. brown haze over city displaced
by driving downpours; 8. real hockey
season starts in just 10 weeks; 7. you can
still wear baggy winter clothes over
calories gained during Christmas banquets
at your in-laws; 6. a new Inside!; 5. names
such as "Harding" and "Bobbitt" can now
be forgotten (we hope); 4. Ground Hog
Day and Valentine’s Day just 12 days
apart!; 3. "clearance", "sale" and
"everything must go" no longer heard;

2. you break habit of writing ‘1993’ on
your cheques; and Number 1. no one
remembers your new year’ sresolutions,
not even you!

Well done, Bobbie...

While far too many people over 29 shy
away from celebrating birthdays,
Consumer and Job Prep’s Bobbie Boehm
turns 65 this month and is inviting all her
friends to help her p-a-r-t-y. Bobbie clicks
the odometer on February 3 but will host a
get-together, complete with cake, on
February 4 at 4pm in the Douglas Room.

Marathon men and women...

Brian Morton of Student Services is
entering the Vancouver Marathon on May
8 and wants to get together for weekend
training with other Collegers interested in
running either the full or half marathon.
