It's April, time of late snow storms, scrap-
ing ice off windshields and hoping for
spring weather - if you live east of the
Rockies. For us living on the Coast it’s an-

side the Lower Mainland. To help you

campus.

merfield was besieged by reporters

while snacking on Bavarian Cream-laced
cake, Kummerfield said only nice things
about her department when pressed for
"dirt" by INside staff. Tougher still, she
stuck to her guns about turning 34 - again.
