This device consists of four main parts which all work together to produce an outcome that is used everyday.
Starting from the outside, there is a rectangular case 12.5cm tall by 7cm wide with rounded corners. The edges around the perimeter are convex at a radius of 0.5cm.
There are two flat head screws holding the casing in place. They are 1cm in diameter and are placed 3cm right and 2cm up from the bottom left and 3cm right and 2cm down from the top left of the casing.
At the centre of the rectangle, there is a rectangular hole with a rectangular inner part 3cm wide and 6.5cm tall. It has rounded corners at a radius of 0.25cm.
In the inner rectangle there are two identical objects. Both of which are placed 1.5cm from the top and bottom and evenly spaced horizontally. These objects consist of two slots. The slot on the left is 1.5cm tall and the other is 1cm tall. Evenly spaced horizontally between the two slots and 0.5cm below the 1.5cm slot is a half circle slot with a diameter of 0.5cm.
Evenly between the two objects there are two rectangles: the top one is 1.5cm wide by 0.5cm tall with rounded edges, the other is 1cm wide by 0.5cm tall with square edges. The bigger of the two has the text “Reset” written on it, and the other has “Test” written on it. The text is written on the rectangles twice, once upright and once mirrored and reversed.
For the device to function it must have a connection to a local power plant and have its cavities plugged with a conductive metal. This device is used more then any appliance in a household.

Take a Stand for Lower Tuition
In the 21st century, education is the basis of life. Without education one cannot succeed. However, it’s getting to the point where one already has to be educated to afford education. The price of post secondary is becoming overwhelming and something has to be done.
While the government spends its hard earned tax dollars elsewhere, post secondary tuition keeps rising at alarming rates. It’s becoming hard to tell if the average student, without parental assistance, will be able to afford schooling in the upcoming years. With the minimum wage still at eight dollars an hour and rising living expenses, it doesn’t seem that students will get a break anytime soon.
On top of rising tuition cost, there are also non-optional fees including: an ever so useful $32.00 activity fee that on a engineering student’s schedule is about as handy as a full time job, a $63.01 development fee that could raise some eyebrows, and a fee of $7.32 for the Canadian Federation of Students.
If tuition wasn’t hassle enough, try buying the sometimes-required books. To put it lightly, if school was a phone bill then books would be the system access fees. Books are often forgotten about and rarely included in the tuition costs even though they can add up to a whopping five hundred dollars on a good day. With prices like these, the decision to buy the book becomes difficult and makes one question if the book is really needed.
Licking your wounds will numb the pain for now, but if you want a second go at the giant, stand up for lower tuition on Feb. 7 2007 and show them your thoughts on the matter. This demonstration is sponsored by the Canadian Federation of Students. For details, check out www.cfs.bc.ca.
