Laff
Olympics
gives
NWCC
students
a break

Northwest Community Col-
lege recreation coordinator, Kim
Cordiero, was a little worse for
wear during the running of the
first ever NWCC Laff Olympics,

‘ but it was nothing compared to
her condition following the un-
scheduled Jello and whipped
cream fight that took place after
the event. She didn’t seem to
mind though. It was a lot of fun
— and it certainly seemed to do

" something to ease the pre-exam

tension felt by students.

The event began. with red-
faced students performing be-

Fire brigade

_ These events were followed by

the “Fire Brigade’ and it was
-here that the lack of.any sort of
rules became evident. -The first
team through did well passing

empty one. bucket into another,
but they apparently felt it was
‘too easy and the following team
should have a handicap. While
the following team was still en-
grossed in the paper clip search,
they quietly moved the two

buckets about 20 feet - further

apart.

‘The next event was the
‘Mummy Wrap’’. The idea here
was to see how many members

each team could wrap in toilet.

looked easy at first glance, but it
wasn’t. It was those §{* per-
forations — the paper kept
‘breaking and they had to start
over, and over, and over...
With the conclusion of the
Silly Circuit, teams moved onto
the Obstagiggle Course. In this
relay event individual team
members had to dive through a
cardboard tunnel, do six dis-
orienting circles at the Bat Spin,
_ make a rather dizzy run to four
chairs with bruise inflicting arms
and sit in each sequentially, hop
about 30 feet with a soccer ball
‘between the knees (several were

holding their bruised posterior .

by this time in the race), and
then stick thelr faces into pans
of whipped cream and Jello to
dunk for plastic whistles.

‘The event ended (the real
évent — before the Jello fight)
with the Helium Balloon. Here
everyone got to inhale a large

- dose of helium and then say,
_ peter Piper picked a peck of
pickles’, as fast as they could.
Needless to say, everyone
squeaked through this event.

Dunking for whistles during the Laff Olympics Obstagiggle
Race was a little messy, but it didn’t taste half bad. NWCC
student Joe Droil gave his all in this event, but It just wasn’t
quite enough to beat the competition.

Big race for bikers

It’s a big weekend for bicycle
tiders this weekend as com-
petitors aged 12 and older take
part in races to select zone seven
riders for the B.C. Summer
Games, and ride in a speed event
around George Little Memorial
Park.

David Weismiller of the Ter--

race Bicycle Club has arranged
two days of action, utilizing the
park block Sunday for a
30-minute (30-lap) race from the
library, west on Park Ave., then
north on Emerson and east on

_ Davis, and back to the start line

by going south on Kalum.

This ‘right-turn’ circuit was
approved at last week’s council
meeting, and will be arranged by
the club and RCMP.

The Saturday race is a long
one —. from Northwest Com-
munity College to Lakelse Lake
and back. This race will be used
to pick the zone team.

Weismillér said response to
the events has been excellent.
Riders are asked to be at the
respective starting lines at 9 a.m.
Races will get. underway at 10

o'clock.
