Your hometown locally owned and operated newspaper Lack of sleeping quarters for visitors may kill some Winter Games events The Terrace 1991 Northern B.C. Winter Games may have to cancel some events if billeting homes are not found for participating athletes. Publicity chairman Maria Thom- sen announced last week that the Games billeting committee has recruited only 700 of the required 1,800 billet spaces for athletes in the Games, happening in carly February. - Thomsen says that events with the most athletes participating will have to be the first to go. Team . sports are, of course, on the top of the list. She elaborates, "A deci- sion will have to be made in early January if more billets aren’t forth- coming, We can’t have them (the athletes) come if there’s nowhere for them to stay. We have to be at the three-quarter point (1,350) by early January." | Billets need only basic accom- modation. The athtetes will arrive with their own sleeping bags and will be in Terrace for only three nights. Call the Games office at 635-1991 if you can offer your support.

Tt came from the special problems of sending our sons and daughters south all the time, of the need to recognize the dif- ferent needs of northerners, and of the need of: research for nor- thern questions and problems.”’ The legislation creating UN- BC also created special legisla- tion to give substance to the gov- ernment of the new university. ‘‘We have no alumni or con- vocation,”’ said Sadler, ‘“There- fore legislation will allow us to invite members of other alumni to join us and to allow unique powers to the people who creat- ed us, Thus from a line drawn approximately through 100 Mile House north, everyone who signed the original petition to create the university is invited to become a member of the first Convocation of UNBC. He said that letters will be sent to the original signers (‘‘and we hope the addresses are correct’’) to invite them to become mem- bers of the original convocation, and that advertisements will be placed. The creation of such a group is necessary for the election of a chancellor and all the business of running a university. It is anticipated that the first meeting will take place early in the new year and that the actual Convocation in all its splendour and colour will take place in late spring.

The properties listed are described by Parker as "surplus to government’s short-term and long-term needs", Copies are available through the Crown lands office in Smithers at 3726 Aifred Ave. or the Terrace Government Agent.
