Instead of Updating Fir Building, CapU Administration Opts to Purchase Joe Walsh Signed Les Paul.

Posted on October 1, 2024September 28, 2024 by Kayla Price

When reached for comment, CapU President Paul Dangerfield said, “Uh oh, here comes a flock of wah-wah’s.”

Ah, the Capilano Fir building. Known for its old carpets, flickering fluorescent lights and occasional mold or dead bugs found in the windows. It’s a massive five floors tall each home to multiple academic disciplines, and each brought together by elevator lineups, odd wall paint colours, and lukewarm water stations.

 

Lucky for us students, our administration is listening to us. They’ve heard us call for well-needed building improvements and just recently spent tens of thousands of dollars winning a bidding war against the UBC and SFU Administrations to purchase the refinement of all refinements: A 1983 Gibson Les Paul Standard Tangerine Burst Guitar, signed by former Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh. If there’s one thing boomers in power love more than listening to students, it’s the Eagles!

On Friday 17, we hosted the Capilano Courier Awards with a very special guest speaker—Irwin Oostindie, former Courier crew member and winner of the 2025 CapU Alumni Awards! He shared about his journey as a student organizer and activist in the late 1980s, the role of print and media in knowledge mobilization, and what we can do as a student publication to join existing efforts to build Vancouver as an inclusive city.

In this episode, listen to Irwin talk about journalism, witnessing, and how to mobilize communities through storytelling and media.
