DC EVACUATED
BY BOMB SCARE §[

PHONY BOMB THREAT
CALLS IN THE DOGS

Douglas College was the center
_ of activity on Thursday when New
Westminster Police and Fire Department
responded to a bomb scare and had to
evacuate the building.

Terry Leonard, head of facilities
and services at DC, said the bomb scare
was phoned in on the 911 emergency line
specifying that the bomb was
somewhere on the third floor.

As a result, police had to bring
in a police dog trained to sniff out
dangerous substances. After a two hour
search that revealed no bomb, the
building was re-opened.

Leonard also said that if students
left anything in the classrooms, they
could be claimed at the lost and found
at the main security office in the
concourse.

He also advised students that in
the event of another bomb scare or fire
drill, they should take all personal
belongings with them and immediately
leave the building.

Facilities and Services would
like to thank the building service
workers, security personnel and floor
wardens for a safe and efficient
evacuation.

BIKE EVENT TAKES 1,000
CYCLISTS AROUND BC

by Ian Johnson

1,000 cyclists travelling over
700 kilometres in seven days. -

This is TourBC, a brand new
cycle touring event being promoted by
Jason Kurylo, former Douglas College
student, Matthew Subotnick, OP News
Coordinator, and Rachel Young, a
current OP staff member.

Next June, TourBC will travel
through the Fraser Valley, Fraser
Canyon, and around Okanagan Lake.
The actual dates and stops will be
announced publicly November 15.

Modelled after Cycle Oregon,
Ride the Rockies, and Bike Ride Across
Georgia, three very successful rides in
the states, TourBC will break new
ground.

“This is the first event of this
type in Canada, to my knowledge. It’s
certainly the first of this type in BC,”
Subotnick said.

The riders camp nightly in seven
communities in BC. They bring their
own bike, clothes, and camping gear, and
TourBC will take care of everything else.

“We will have semi-trailers to
carry the gear from camp to camp. There
will be two rest stops along the route,
Sag wagons, as well as full logistic
support. All the cyclists have to do is
ride,” Subotnick said.

Rachel Young is responsible for
all the nightly stops. Though a challenge,

 

she feels excited by the opportunity.

“T think that planning where
1,200 people will eat and sleep for a
week is ‘fun’,” Young said.

“What makes TourBC so
special, is the host communities. We’ve
been working very closely with some
wonderful people from the towns we’ll
be staying in, and they’re sure to provide
real small-town hospitality for the
riders,” Subotnick said.

“They’re going to have the time
of their life, and they’re never going to
forget it. They’re going to come back
next year,” Young said.

“Tt hasn’t been decided yet, but
I’m hoping for a jazz night, a comedy
night, an awesome poetry night, a swing
night, and others. The final night will
be a huge gala with a champagne
shower,” Young said.

The ride will cost $595 per
person, and will include 23 meals, the
ride support, nightly entertainment, and
a few “surprises”.

“We’ve managed to keep the
price below most of the American
events, when you factor in the exchange
rate,” Subotnick said.

Those interested in registering
should contact TourBC at (604) 520-
3432, or write them at 204 - 37 Agnes
St, New Westminster, BC V3L 5G9.

DCSS ANNUAL GENERAL
MEETING HELD

by Abibi Bequila

The Douglas College Student
Society Annual General Meeting
(AGM) was held October 18. 140
students attended the meeting, more
than doubling the amount needed for
quorum

Society President Katrina
Lennax was “totally impressed” with
the turnout. Although a number of the
students were there because of the
threat of a strike by the teachers, Katrina
is still positive about the AGM.
“Students are taking initiative to find
out what is going on,” she said.

The Society audits for 1992-
1993 were passed at this year’s AGM.
As well, a motion to keep the same
auditor for the next 5 years was also
passed. In the past, each year’s AGM
has been to approve the audit and to
appoint the auditor for the upcoming
year. By appointing the auditor for 5
years, the Student Society no longer has
to have the auditor approved at each
year’s AGM.

The decision to contract out the
auditor for a period of 5 years is due in
part to last year’s AGM, which failed

to make quorum. That meeting was
rescheduled, and held in the school
cafeteria during lunch-hour. The audits
will still have to be passed each year,
but the Student Society no longer has to

wait on quorum before initiating the
year’s audit.

The Student Society will be
holding its next SGM next semester.
Students are encouraged to attend.
