The CNCSU will be putting on a Trick or Eat event this Halloween. Trick or Eat is a food drive where, instead of trick-ortreating on Halloween, volunteers go doto-door to collect non-perishable goods for the food bank at the Students’ Union Office.

It’s that time of year again. The time when the dead rise from their graves and walk among the living to protest high tuition fees. This year marks the 4th anniversary of the event.

In the October 7th issue of The Confluence, Sean Miller was printed as the author of “My Best Girl.” The author should be credited as Sean Milton. Sorry for any confusion.

:-) :-)

The CNCSU food bank operates on a donation basis, and we take donations throughout the year. The food bank has been seeing a great deal of use this year, and we are having a difficult time keeping it stocked from week to week. If you can spare any non-perishable goods, please give what you can. If you are broke and hungry, take what you need, no questions asked.

Garett Svensen, Editor-in-Chief.

Throughout the year there are ongoing volunteer opportunities with CNCSU.

:-)

Show up at the SU office, room 1-303 around noon on Saturday, October 26th, for your signs and makeup. The walk starts around 1pm. Contact info@cncsu. ca for more information.

:-)

On the 31st, teams organize independently, and can go out at any time.

CNCSU will let registered teams know when and where to meet at the end of the event. Prizes will be awarded to those who get the most food items, for the best theme, etc. All donated food will go to the CNCSU food bank in the SU Office.

:-)

Volunteers are organized into teams centered around a driver. Teams can be any theme, and dress however they want -it is halloween after all. There are multiple teams registered already, and we would just like to know who is coming in advance. You can pick up a registration form from the CNCSU Office, and we ask that you register your team before October 30th.

Participants will be given signs and makeup. The walk follows a designated route down to Masich stadium, then back around to the college via Massey and Pine Centre, weather depending. Participants are encouraged to dress warmly, but zombie-esque. Be as creative as you like, but keep safety in mind. It is a long route and it runs next to several busy streets. Having a good set of shoes and unobstructed vision will save alot of grief.

THE CHILCOTIN WAR: A COLONIAL LEGACY

By Eric Depenau, CNCSU.

The Confluence - Arts

On Friday October 4th students from the CNC Quesnel Campus attended the grand opening of the Chilcotin War: A Colonial Legacy art exhibit at the Quesnel and district recreation center. The collection is available for viewing until the 26TH of

October. This event is the first of a series of outings to build student participation and community partnerships in Quesnel.

The collection’s influence:

Ann Nicholson is an artist living in Alexis Creek, BC. Since moving to the Chilcotin in 2004, she has learned that much of the social fabric of the area rests on the tragic and painful events of the 1864 Chilcotin war and the colonial years leading up to them.

She is herself familiar with colonialism and its capacity for social destruction from her upbringing in South Africa.

At art school in Johannesburg she became involved in the anti-apartheid struggle and as a result was jailed for three years. The Chilcotin war: A Colonial Legacy is a series of 16 paintings that has been shown in a number of galleries across BC.

Page 5

“It was 136 years ago that a handful of Tsilhqot'in war chiefs thwarted Victoria entrepreneur Alfred Waddington in his bid to build a road from the head of Bute Inlet on the coast to the Caribou goldfields -through the heart of Tsilhqot'in territory. On April 30, 1864, a group of Tsilhqot'in, led by Lhatsas'in attacked the roadbuilding crew.

This was the first, and bloodiest, in a series of confrontations that left 18 nonnative road builders, packers, and a settler dead. It became etched into the annals of B.C. history as "the Chilcotin Massacre."

A militia army under Chartres Brew, the new colony's chief of police, tried for three months to capture the warriors.

Expecting peace talks, they finally agreed to meet Brew. Instead, eight were shackled and taken to Quesnel. On October 26, 1864, Lhatsas'in and four comrades were hanged, their bodies buried beside the Fraser River.

A century and a quarter later, in 1993, a justice inquiry revisited the "massacre."

Judge Anthony Sarich heard how some Tsilhqot'in had been starved, threatened with smallpox, and assaulted. Tsilhqot'in leaders feared for the very survival of their people, which motivated the attacks.

The new verdict: "Lhatsas'in and his men had acted honourably, and were to be posthumously pardoned.”

Tai Chi and its Benefits

Walking speed decreases with age and research suggests that it may be associated with an increased risk of falling. In only one study, however, was it found that individuals who practiced tai chi walked significantly more steps than individuals who did not. Walking is clearly associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other chronic illness, and so if tai chi can improve walking, then it's certainly worth giving it a try.

BC Lions Introduce new Black Third Jersey

By Ryan Fournier, Contributor.

On August 17th the BC Lions Football Club had a surprise for the players when they were preparing to play the Calgary Stampeders at home. The players,

as well as the fans attending the game, had no idea about the surprise. The players got into their regular routine getting ready to head out onto the field at BC Place, wearing the usual orange home jerseys.

The Confluence - Sports

While the players where warming up for the game, the equipment staff got busy and started putting the new black third jerseys in the players locker room stalls.

When the players came back into the locker room they were shocked to see new gunmetal-black third jerseys. The players were excited to have the new jerseys unveiled to them. When they got onto the field everyone in the crowd was shocked to see the jerseys, the Stampeders were impressed by the look of the new Lions third jersey.

I didn’t really like the look of the jersey when I first saw it on TV. When I saw them up close, the ones the players worn on the field the night they played the Stampeders, I said, “WOW! They look awesome.”

Page 7

I just recently bought the jersey. I told my mom I wanted it for my Birthday, so she gave the money and I went to Jersey City and bought it. The jersey has been a really popular item for the Lions. Since it came out everybody has bought one. The Lions have only worn these jerseys twice and let me tell you they look awesome! I would recommend the jersey to anyone who is a fan, such as me.

Sunday Best Recordings

By Mike Brigade, Contributor.

I really hated “Porter.” Its chief conceit, that women in a mental health facility are characters from fiction like Snow The first I heard of the English duo was the video of their first single, “Thou Shalt White or Dorothy Gale is cliché as hell Always Kill,” which went semi-viral a few years back. It was a breath of sardonic air and insultingly dismissive of mental health in an increasingly stale market: Dan Le Sac’s cheery, uncomplicated beats provided a issues. I found the song disturbingly counterpoint to Pip’s unrelenting take on contemporary culture. Formatted as a list patriarchal as well, in stark contrast to the of commandments, ranging from “thou shalt not drink coke products” to “thou shalt no put artists upon ridiculous pedestals” to the titular “thou shalt always kill,” the song rest of the duo’s repertoire, which usually managed to simultaneously eviscerate today’s highly-conscious and fickle pop culture as takes up arms against marginalization. I it embraced it with a knowing smirk and a salute. I say all of this, because “Thou Shalt may be missing some irony, but the whole Always Kill” was my first impression of the duo, and in many ways “You Will See Me,” song reeks of intellectual laziness and mass-appeal focus. It feels rushed, it isn’t from their recently released “Repent, Replenish, Repeat,” evokes the same blend of clever, and brings down the quality of the earnest emotion and wink-and-nod self-awareness. album.

For such an angry song, on an album punctuated by dan le sac’s noisy, grimy, dubstepand-industrial-influenced beats, I found the song oddly moving and beautiful. Part of it Which is my chief complaint of the is Pip’s delivery: honest rage and angst at a lost love, tempered with a sense of his own album as a whole: the good tracks are great, but there is such a difference absurdity at not being able to get over it. It starts off with a subtle acknowledgement between the good tracks and the filler of ego, that the anonymous lover that propels the song couldn’t identify the speaker’s good qualities, and would see him get rich and famous alone. It soon swells to absurd, that it’s hard to listen to the whole thing desperate heights like, “I will make rivers run red in your anonymity,” as Pip’s delivery through. Overall, the album is still better than a lot of alternatives. For the most becomes more insistent, desperate for you to understand just how much he doesn’t part it’s smart, catchy, provocative and care about his lost love and will perform ludicrous acts to prove it. It’s a powerful passionate. I would recommend “Repent, piece, and dan le sac links it to their own success with a clean electronic sound that Replenish, Repeat” with some reservations evokes “Thou Shalt Always Kill” in a minor key. it if you’re into electronic music, hip-hop The rest of the album is okay. The singles “Stunner” and “Gold Teeth” have interesting or spoken word. It’s a mixed bag, and music, commentary on hip-hop and club culture, catchy choruses and quotable lines. is genuinely interesting in places, but is inconsistent in quality and doesn’t quite “Stunner” offers pragmatism and a realistic take on relationships and image.

October 21st 2013

As for the rest, well... “Stiff Upper Lip,” falls somewhere between didactic and dumb, i.e. “Fuck the stiff upper lip, pick up a brick,” and probably won’t motivate its slacktivist target to any kind of action, let alone the political violence encouraged by the song. “Terminal,” is okay, it’s more of a spoken word poem about a break up than a song though. It isn’t bad by any means, but I find myself skipping ahead after a less than a minute. “Nightbus Sleepers” and “Heroism” are similar in sound, and lack the musical polish or lyrical sophistication of other tracks. Pretty typical filler tracks, nothing offensive, but one track really stood out:

Album art for Repent, Replenish, Repeat.

“Gold Teeth” is a straight up rant against superficiality and conspicuous consumption. It has a tolerable dubstep drop and conventional polish that could see it snuck into a club rotation by accident. I imagine it would go over pretty decently until people started listening to the lyrics.

lot of Pip’s solo work, “Stunner” pushes critical thinking and self-reflection as important and desirable traits, minus a lot of the didacticism I felt from “Distraction Pieces,” Pip’s last solo album. Dan le sac’s track here is probably the best on the album too: heavy and noisy without being obnoxious.

Wisdom Teeth: The Gory Days

Two days later the blood began again to pour from my nose again. Back to the hospital I went and this time they cauterized it. Early the next morning, the blood began again and this time it was pouring from my nose, as well as trickling from my ears and dripping from my eyes. I happened to glance in the mirror only to be horrified that I looked like I was a character in a horror movie.

We immediately went to the hospital and the only solution was they had to pack my nose with a very long thin cotton pad. I screamed quite loud because it hurt a lot. I was also stoned on the drugs they gave me and all I wanted to do was fold doves out of paper cups.

The Ones of Dread

On your bed In dead of night Hidden in your blankets Looking left and right

On your bed In dead of night You will scream You will fight

They aren’t appearing As mother said They don’t exist The things of dread

The ones of dripping Black and red The ones whose limbs hang Surely dead

But then you see them Then they’re there Phasing from your closet Under desk, bed and chair.

From corpses And tattered cloaks From dark things That fear evokes

The ones you’ve seen But disbelieved The ones who fled from light Leaving you relieved

So say goodbye You know what’s next Their hands reach out Covering eyes mouth and neck

The ones you tell to go away But listen will they not The ones who stole your sister The ones of dread and rot

But this is not The end for you Even when Your time is due

Closer glide the things Your time is drawing near Trying not to struggle Lest they kill you here

Fear not young one For you’ll be back When lights go out You’ll get to snack
