NCtiOR Besides what went down Sept. II, this year has left a series of less-than-pleasant memories. We lost Joey Ramone and George Harrison. For local music fans, the loss of the D.l.Y.R.G. and the Blue Room as regular venues hurt, and now the Boat Df'.lgs will likely go the way of the dodo bird and Fred Durst's credibility. The Student Union Auditorium presented a boon to the scene. but was almost immediately damaged by knucklehead fans, causing Associated Students Presents to re-evaluate the direction of the new venue. Good things do come to an end, all the time, and people should be conscious of what they have while they still have it. We still have options in Chico, and it's important to wurk together, m)t only to m preserve what we have, but to create other avenues.

RACHEL BRILL ~ COpy EDITOR 11.1 For many Chico State University students, winter break is a chance to go home for the holidays. But for international students, getting ca home is not always easy, Samuel Muhai is from Kenya and hasn't gone home since he came to Chico State a year and a half ago. en He said he misses his family, but because Kenya is so far away, going home is difficult - not worth the trip for a five-week holiday. z "It's a hassle and very expensive to go home - about $2,000 round trip," he said. "If I was home, I would be celebrating with my family. Christmas is a special thing to me, being a Christian and all." Instead, Muhaisaid he will not do any­ thing special for the holidays. "I'm just gonna stay here and hang out," he said. Muhia will get a Christmas tree and put up lights in his house. He said knowing that he will go home to sec his family in June or July makes him feel better about being apart during the holidays. Until then he will depend on e-mail and phone calls.
