The following morning, February 17th, an additional 150 will be given to students starting at 8:00 a.m. They can be picked up from VLIB 019.
There is a one ticket limit per student.

If you can't make it, or the tickets have all been snatched up, tickets will go on sale at www.TicketsWest.com on Wednesday, February 16th. They are $11 in all.
As well, tickets can be purchased from Safeway TicketsWest outlets. The stores I can think of right off hand selling the tickets are the Salmon Creek, Hazel Dell and Cascade Park locations; I'm sure there are others in Vancouver, but these are the only locations I know for sure.

Typos happen in newspapers from time to time; what can I say but sorry and and a promise to try our best?
You got us -- thanks for pointing out our errors.
As well, the senators who stepped down were either unavailable for comment or unwilling to talk. We only have so many resources that we can use in trying to report the news, so we do the best with the time and staff we have.
thespiritsinme, we only have limited time and staffers onboard, but you seem particularly interested in tackling these issues. Are you interested in writing for us or helping out with copy editing?
Thanks
Matt
We would like to find out why they quit; it's just a matter of time, availability and that kind of thing.
There have been a number of vacancies this year (I can recall up to 8 or 9 right off the top of my head), and who knows how many came as a result of anything published in my newspaper. I know of at least a few that no longer attend campus, period.
Let's not perpetuate rumors and myths on this blog; if I knew the truths, I would publish them. But until you know something definitive and concrete that I don't, let's not spread rumors.
Also, don't equate homosexuality with drug use and gambling.
"I heard they quit because [...]"
You don't know for sure why all 8 or 9 (or 10? 11?) members of the senate this year have quit. A small number were named in the VanCougar article, and even their reasons for leaving are not for certain.
A rumor is an unverified piece of information you don't know to be completely true; in this case, you made it sound like all senators quitting left because of what was said in the VanCougar article or how they voted about giving money to the Queer Cougars. This is flat out untrue.
We report the facts, we don't print speculation or heresay. We didn't know the facts about why these senators are leaving; therefore, we didn't print the information.
I'm not deciding what is truth and what is rumor, simply saying that no one should post a comment about the senator vacancies without knowing the whole story.
Furthermore, I'm not going to get into a debate with you about homosexuality or anything along those lines; you clearly have your beliefs and are steadfast in their merits; that's fine, that's your opinion.
A fact is something verified to be "completely true." Interesting. If that's all you printed, your paper (all papers) would be blank. How many things are there that can be VERIFIED to be COMPLETELY TRUE. Everything is subjective because everything is everything is perceived by subjective individuals.
And do you really think your paper is completely free from "speculation."
And it seems to me that you're copping out on your journalistic responsibility. Investigate the situation. Don't just say, "We don't know." Newspapers find out.
Unless this is simply a publicity rag for the university.
And don't just reply like you have been, "Come do it yourself. Join up." Look, nobody forced you to take this job (you are being paid, right). You wanted to do this. So if someone points out where you're doing a half-assed job of investigating important events on the university (you know, like lots of senators quitting), don't just say, "Come and do it better if you can." Do you think real reporters say that when they are criticized?
Grow up!
We are not doing a half-assed job, and if you would beg to differ, I invite you to spend a couple weeks on the staff (whoops!).
We have a limited staff, no academic support and no journalism training. Therefore, we do the best with what we have, which isn't always much.
Because we aren't a class, turnover is always a problem. Very few, if any, reporters from other schools have joined up, so we're just doing as well as we can.
And, yes, nobody forced my hand here, and I wanted this job terribly. I love it, and I devote so much of my time to making it a good newspaper. I didn't take a summer break at all, and if I'm not in class or the cafeteria, you can ALWAYS find me in the office. I've heard dozens of compliments -- "the paper has never been better" is my personal favorite complimnet.
In that regard, I think I have succeeded; in fact, I would dare say that we exceeded everyone's expectations.
Without a formal class, academic support or newspaper training (beyond the two-week session in English 405 and the twice-yearly 4-hour boot camp session), there's only so much we can do.
We are limited in what we do and how much time we can devote to it. Feel free to ask our adviser about this, if you'd like - we are all pushing for academic support as early as next year. The paper has hit a ceiling without it, and everyone involved realizes this.
And a "real reporter" probably doesn't answer the way I have, but there are some different reasons. First, my reporters have other jobs, classes, families and all that good stuff, so it's not like they can dedicate their full-time presence to the paper, can they? People at the Columbian and Oregonian would surely investigate a rash of senators leaving the senate in Salem or Olympia, but those reporters are reporters full-time. We only have so much time and so many resources to devote to the paper. We do the best we can, but the only way to get better is to add interested, curious staffers.
Thanks for your interest - there are applications on the door if you would like to write for us.
