Dear Other Press Collective: As an afro-canadian, I was completely offended by the sweepingly stereotypical and blatantly racist portrayal of “the suburban hipsta” in the comic strip “Ped”. Categorizations such as this one, whether they are done subconsciously or not, do nothing but assist in the concreting of the bigoted racially superior mentality that has become almost constitutionalized in North America inthelast200 years. I’mappalled that BE ete ee ‘socially aware as yourself would resort to hypocritical tactics such as theseinorder togaina few readers.

Scott McShane English Season Ends in Sudden Death Royal spikers lose fourth place in the game and 12 noon game) is at 3pm. BCCAA League to Malaspina Mariners by Elaine Leong Douglas College Women Royals were knocked out of provincial playoffs as they took a severe beating from the Malaspina Mariners. The starting line-up consisted of Joanna Horvath, Tami Kuehn, Marcie Sattler, Blyn McMullin, Donna Furlani and Daria Vandergraff. Though Malaspina took service first in Game 1, the Royals took no hesitation in taking a side-out witha brilliant play. For the frst three Douglas points, Malaspina could not hustle todig the ball after the Royals’ attack breached the Mariners’ blocks. ' Both teams seemed unable to handle the tips from the ition nor were they able to even serve the ball over the net. The lead for Douglas never exceeded five points but they did manage the attacks well. Unfortunately, the Mariners made quite a come-back to turn the game around to 11-9. Vandergraff attacked the ball and won side-out for at this point but lost it as the ball flew into the net from service. Though Douglas closed the margin in the score from 14-9 to 14- 12 (for the Mariners) the momentum had already shifted. In Game 2, Malaspina had started witha 4pointlead but Douglas made an incredible comeback, jumpingthescoreto7-4. TheMariners suffered from lack of hustling to good position, and net calls. In this game, the first offici (referee on the stand) was forced to call twore-servesas thesecond official (umpire) blew the whistle accidentally on two separate plays. He had a quick whistle but it did not work to his advantage as he had problems covering the net. Lorena Marshal, captain of the Mariners, took her jump-service abilities to good use. The Royals were startled by her powerful serves but continued fighting for the win. It was at this point that the Douglas fans decided to scream and yell while the Mariners were taki service. The first official was into a position of informing the as captain Joanna Horvath to keep the fans under control. (Captains hold this responsibility at the College level.) ae a: McMullin took service and she served tough to help bring in the win of 15-11 for Douglas. This was the last good thing they did. In Game 3, Marshal of the Mariners, who was the last player in her team’s service round asindicated on the score sheet, put her powerful jump-serves into work again and brought in the last six points for her team to win the game, 15-9. Game 4 showed the Mariners as the better prepared team. Each free ball they gaveto Douglas wasa minor loss but whenever, gave the Mariners a free ball, it was difficult for the Royals to take their minds off the small loss. Also the Royals could not adjust to the added pressure of ina’s hard . This extra a concentration made a in. match for the Royals as they lost 15- 11. Unfortunately, the Royals are left behind in the dust as the fifth ranked team in the BCCAA League.

Beware: Betrayal of Trust with Local Pharmasist Dear Other Press Collective: Figuring in to most of our lives are a number of people, or figures who we trust almost unquestioningly. Therearethe police, fire fighters, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, clergymen, even our childhood caregivers be they our parents or not. In recent years the news has been overflowing with stories of untrustworthy, indeed quite unsavory figures most of us were taught from early childhood to trust. Sexually abusive priests seem to head the list. Brutal, trigger happy police follow in a close second position. Doctors who seduce their patients are fairly common. Murderous nurses occasionally make the media scene. Fire fighters have an almost clean record, and who’s ever heard ofa harmacist? Ihave. The latter nearly sent me down the road toward certain death recently. Understand thatlamadrug addict. I am powerless over my addiction and given the “tools of the trade” I will certainly use them to the best of my advantage. Presentlegal restrictions prevent me from naming the “Doctor of Pharmacology” in question, or his placeofemployment.Ican, however, tell you that he practices his undeserved trade quite close to DouglasCollege’s New Westminster campus...you may have even dealt with him yourself. Unfortunately he is the head of his pharmacy. Let's hope he doesn’t deal out too much advice to his : What did this supposed professional dotodeservemy wrath? How did he come within a hair breadth of destroying me? Heissued me twice as much medication as the prescription my doctor ordered prescribed! Twice theamountof four mood altering drugs that my doctor ordered. Twice the number of pills my doctor felt safe prescribing me, a junkie, for a week’s time. You could say that the pusher gave mea hell of a good deal! If I were not an addict the pharmacist’s mistake might have made little or no difference. If! were a frail elderly woman his mistake might have killed me. Dead. However, I am anaddict. I have no control over my addiction. This “health professional,” and I use the term loosely, may have killed me too. Dead. Orat very least, awakened the dragon that sleeps inside me. Anonymous U.T. Arts WE, AT THE OTHER.
