Ehren Klein, Derek Baker, Paul Klein and Raymond Johnston (1-r)make the ultimate display of school spirit Painted as a living symbol of our school, they distracted the Douglas team enough to allow UCFV to take control of the

game and achieve the ultimate victory. At any rate, the Ladies' and Mens' Basketball squads, along with these guys, deserve ultimate kudos for their selfless display of school spirit. For Cascade Basketball repot1, see Page 7.

A Raging Battle As I watched the glimmering waves, My mindfocused on the power of the sea. A battle raging on between the water and the distant shore. The waves.fighting their way to shore, only to take the never-ending journey once more. Yet, to me U was a peaceful serenity, compared to the busy lives people lead every day. It relaxed me and allowed my mind to wander, somewhere faraway .. Fighting with the waves, and dreaming of my way back to shore ..... . -Katrina Boyer

Jury's Still Out: Pay Parking "Benefit the environment" a reason to charge. By Monique Marchant The current topic of controversy on the Abbotsford and Chilliwack campuses is the plan to introduce pay parking. Although the method of implication has yet to be decided on one hundred percent, the fact that it is something that the board is going to go through with, however, is set in stone. A forum was held at the Abby campus on January 18 in the theatre, and approximately 75-100 people showed up, representing students, staff, faculty, and administration. Although many people protest the idea of pay parking it is, as Peter Jones said, "just a fact eflife that we have to live with." At the beginning of the forum, all people were given handouts outlining the various aspects of pay parking. One issue that they_attempted to explain was why UCFV is introducing pay parking. Numerous reasons were given. Service and security related to the parking lots need to be improved. This includes things such as. security patr9ls and lighting. Parking is a long-time, recognized problem here at UCFV, but the provincil government will not provide the funding needed to increase parking capacity. UCFV must find away to raise money on its own to do so. The final reason given was that it will benefit the environment by encouraging people to carpool, take the bus, ride a bike, or walk. The current pay parking proposal is as follows: Pay parking would be in effect from Monday to Saturday (inclusive), 8 a.m. to· 10 p.m.. ,there will be no charge for

parking on Sundays or public holidays. Students: Purchase a parking ticket for 50 cents a day. The ticket wil be valid for both the Chilliwack and Abbotsford campuses on the day that it is purchased. UCFV ·Employees: UCFV employees . who earn less than$35,000peryearwill be charged $7.50 per month for a parking pass. Employees who earn more than $35,000permonth will becharged$15 per month. Part-time employees who do not wish to purchase a monthly pass will be able to purchase a daily ticket for 50 cents. Carpooling: Students and employees will be encouraged to purchase a monthly car pool pass for $15. At least three people will be required to register for the pass. In return, car poolers will be guaranteed a parking spot at a good location. Visitor Parking: A number of parking spots will be disignated for short-term visitors. Parking meters in these locations will charge 50 cents per hour. Handicapped Parking: Parking will be free for vehicles with an approved handicapped sticker. Volunteer Parking: A number of people fri the community volunteer their time and energy to help students and departments. These people will not be charged for parking. Volunteer parking passes will be issued. None of this is yet final, other than the fact that we are going to have pay parking, whether we like it or not. If you question the methods by which it is going to be implimented, let yourself be heard. Questions and comments can be addressed to Norah Andrews by writen or spoken ,work. Let yourself be heard if you have a genuine concern or a potentially better idea.

The dotted line means a class for Keith Renfrey, the last UCFV Student with a registration time. Bryan Sikora Photo

Last, But A Class By Bryan Sikora 3:45 p.m., January 7th, 1994. Just another insignificant point on the dateline of time. But to UCFV student Keith Renfrey, this time meant he had the _ opportunity to register for classes. Renfrey had the dubious honor of being the very last student at UCFV with a registration time. The CASCADE caught up with Renfrey while he was waiting for his name to be announced. "I was slow getting here to get a spot," he said. The fact that over 5,000 students had already chosen their courses and knowing that he couldn't take any courses at the Chilliwack campus, Renfrey's

options were greatly reduced. "I had over 20 courses picked out. Only wanted one, though." After a 15-20 minute wait, the call came out "Keith Renfrey, is Keith Renfrey here?" We went up to the computer, and Renfrey started listing off his preferences. After several "Nope, it's full." statements, Renfrey finally heard what he wanted to: ''This one's got room." There was a match between a class Renfrey wanted and a class that had room. It was a good thing he only wanted one class, or we might have been there for a while. But when we walked away, Renfrey had his one class, and I had my story. Oh, and the class he got: Political Science 270.

PNEWS Food Festival No Crusty Affair Cascade provides pizza to all Staff Report

As the aroma of delicious pizza wafted through the Great Hall and beyond, taste buds were alerted and stomachs were drawn away from the usual cafeteria lunch. Gooey. Chewy. Cheap. That was the bottom line at the Huge Pizza Lunch on January 14. Over 75 people quickly gobbled up the simple, yet frugal fare, supplied by Express Pizza. Partial proceeds from the $2 meal of pizza and pop have been donated to the Food Bank by the CASCADE. The event was also a reminder to everyone about the big basketball game against Douglas that night, and to create some hype and spirit for the event. Everyone who consumed pizza and socialized with the lunchtime crowd in the Great Hall agreed it was a great success, so keep your eyes open for another one coming soon.

Eight first-year UCTV science and technology students have been named Canada Scholars for 1993/94. The Canada Scholars program recognizes excellence in science and/or technology. Three of the UCFV winners are general science students, three are studying computer information systems, and one is enrolled in the agriculture program. The scholarships are worth $2,500 per year for a potential total of $10,000 over four years if the recipient maintains a gradepointaverageof3.5% (B+)or better. Canada Scholars must take a full courseload with a t least 60% of their courses selected from an eligible science or technology-oriented discipline. The UCFV winners are science students Michael Brandsmer of Clearbrook, Jane Buker of Rosedale, and Nicole Nunnikhoven of Maple Ridge; computer information systems students Alan Bailwad of Maple Ridge, Julia-Ann

Krause of Chilliwack, Thomas Lavigne of Abbotsford,andJasonRobillardofVedder Crossing; and agriculture student Rebecca Paller of Chilliwack. "I was really happy when I heard about the scholarship," says Jane Buker. She plans to work hard to keep her grades up in order to maintain the scholarship. Currently enrolled in the two-year Associate in Science program, she is considering completing her bachelor's degree at UCFV and being one of the first graduates of the new Bachelor in Science program. Whatever she ends up pursuing, it will "definitely" involve science. "I love science," she explains. ''Ever since I was really little, I've been interested in any sort of experiment." Around seven percent of students enrolled in the science or technology programs earn Canada Scholarships each year. UCFV has been home to several Canada Scholars over the past several years.

The UCFV livestock judging team, comprised of agriculture students Cynthia Watson, William Clinging, Elizabeth Stolzenberg and Jason Maarbuis, joined 12 other teams judging 17 classes of livestock at the Toronto Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. Teams came from across Canada, with one from the U.S. This was the first UCFV team to go to the fair since 1991, and it was the four students' first judging competition. Wil'.iam Clinging led the team, placing 22nd out of 50 participants, with only 50 points separating him from the first-place winner. He tied for third place in boar evaluation, with teammates Cynthia

Watson and Elizabeth Stolzenberg a close nine points behind, and led the team to a third-place sheep team finish. Clinging, Watson,andStolzenberg also took part in the horse judging competition. Watson led the team to a fifth-place finish out of more than 20 teams. She also placed fifth in the individual part of the competition. . Travel money was raised by the students. UCFV paid the entry fee and the Student Society donated UCFV sweatshirts. The B.C. Institute of Agrologists also donated $250. The team is now looking forward to a competition at Lakeland College in Vermillion, Alberta in March, as well as a 4H intercollegiate judging competition at the Chilliwack campus .

. Things To Do: Wear a string bikini on a Stainnaster. Machine wash your silk dress. Add chlorine bleach to the coloured wash. Try getting away with murder. Bring pizza and beer to the intensive care unit. Load up on prunes before a hot date. Look on the Dark side. When the collection basket is passed to you, help yourself.

Checked Your Pulse Lately? This school is pathetic. It's apathetic. Oh I'm sorry did I interrupt your nap. Well excuse me. It's just that I'm tired of being one of the few who actually do something for this school. The students here amaze me. They complain but they don't do anything about it. Their excuse? Too busy with work/school/studies/ life. Hmm... To those communications students who intend on a career in journalism-we do have a student newspaper looking for writers. Student press is a great resume builder if nothing else. How do you think Pierre Burton or Allan Fotheringham got -their

And business students, how can I forget you? We do have a need for all sorts of business minded folk to come up with exceptional fund raising ideas. While no one is truly exempt, I realize that there

are a lot of people who do a lot outside of school. For that I applaud you. However, keep in mind next time you complain that nothing ever goes on that those of us planning your enjoyment here at school are time ,stretched too. Besides, attendance to the events we do plan is dismal (case in point-Simon B.Cotter and the Ski Movie). Get off your butt. It's a new year. Now's your chance.·

ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE

Vigil On Violence Opens Eyes By Doug Colby In December I completed a dizzying journey. A trip from ignorance to enlightenment, from skepticism to compassion. No kilometers were covered, no bags were packed, nor tickets purchased. This trip took place in one spot, and, after only 30 minutes, I'll never be the same again. The posters around campus had called for a candlelight vigil, a memorial for the 14 women murdered at Montreal's L'Ecole Poly-Technique in 1989. I find myself at the requi.ced place at 6:30 p.m., partly due to a journalistic commitment to my school paper, butmostly out of personal curiosity. I wanted to learn more about tl)e crime of violence against women, and I needed to know how I, as a man, will react to this reflection of a horrible reality. After all, it is my gender who perpetrates these crimes, which I know pathetically little. "It's good to see that men don't feel ostracized", vigil organizer Michelle Demers says as she surveys the huddled mass of bodies quietly remembering the

now infamous Montreal Massacre. She's right. Although this event illustrates the depths to which we, as men, can sink, numerous male mourners have come to offer their support.

"Behind closed doors everywhere, women are beaten, physically and mentally abused, and suffer." Speakers offer the crowd a vision of hope and understanding, and, oddly enough, after each speech I instinctively listen for applause, or cheering. But there is no applause on this night. There are no celebrations. It is a night to think, to identify, and most importantly, to remember. Some in the gathering feel as if society has moved backwards since Dec. 1989. Cheryl (last name withheld) works fortheR.C.M.P. victimservicesinMission, and painfully witnesses the results of

violence firsthand. If you think Abbotsford is known around B.C. only for it's farms, churches and wholesome living, then you're dead wrong. According to Cheryl, victim statistics "rate Abbotsford as having one of the highest percentages of spousal abuse in B.C." I cannot help but feel saddened by this fact. The problem, of course, is universal. Behind closed doors everywhere, women are beaten, physically and mentally abused, and suffer, Why? . Because, quite simply, they are women. I listen intently to the speeches, the statistics, the tales of horror. My mind drifts, and I think of my upbringing. No explicit violence, thankfully, but other more subtle images grip me. Hockey fights, male dominance, television female stereotypes. My palms become sweaty in the icy air of poignant reflection, and I am jolted back by Jean Ballard-Kent addressing the crowd. "If you' re not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem." ItisnowlateJanuary,andthewords

andimagesofthatnightstillresoundinmy head. I picture a place where violence is an everyday occurrence. Where an act as simple as walking to your car is met with fear and trepidation. A world where wives are beaten, and common dates tum into hellish nightmares. Before that night I never gave much thought to a world like that. Today, I realize it exists, and I am part of it. Ballard's statement rings in my head as well, and I know I have a choice to make. As you can see, my choice is made.

In memory of Kyle Coft, the Editorial Staff of the Cascade would like to remind everyone that drinking and driving only leaves victims behind. We extend our thoughts to the family and friends of Kyle.

Douglas Errors; Women Capitalize Lady Cascades knock-off Royals 61-47 Billed as the big game, the Lady Cascades powerhouse team met up with the Douglas College Royals, also ranked following the Men's game on January 14. Explosive action and a victory were expected by the small, but excited crowd that lined the bleachers of the Clearbrook Community Centre. And a victory was what they got as our outstanding women's team knocked off Douglas with an extraordinary 6147 victory. Although UCFV opened up an early lead, the half-time score teeter-tottered at 29-27 as Douglas came close to overtaking them. However, in the second half, UCFV pulled ahead, gaining 32 points to Douglas' 20. A tough defensive team, Douglas, none the less, made a lot of mistakes that our women were able to take advantage of. Led by top hoopsters Sue Parke with 17 points and Denise Rehman with 12 points, the victory was well deserved. Both teams are nationally ranked, with the Cascades at the #2 spot and the Royals at #8.

Douglas Outshoots Cascades UCFV Ball Tournament

The first game of the celebrated UCFV /Douglas Doubleheader at the Clearbrook Community Centre was held January 14. The Men's squad, taking on the opposing Douglas Royals, played a slow paced, even boring, game in an attempt to control Douglas. Although there were some commanding rejections on both sides, the game dragged on. Douglas began to pull

ahead in the second half as their outside shooters began sinking a succession of 3pointers. Some good work along the baseline and in the paint provided Douglas a 80-59 win over our Cascades. The shining lights of the UCFV team, Chris Spence with 21 points and Mark Wapples with 15 points, led the team in scoring.

ENTERTAINMENT

Here are our predictions for 1994 in the Wonderful World of Music: 1. A new album from The Cult- the Cult will re-emerge with a hot new album bringing them much success and popularity. 2. The Smashing Pumpkins are recognized as The Greatest Band of All Time. The Cult of the Smashed Pumpkin will arise and gain prominen,ce in our society. By the year 2000, churches dedicated to the worship of their music will exist and be frequented by all members of society. By the year 2010, the Canadian National Anthem will be discarded for a song written by the Smashing Pumpkins, at the request of the Prime Minister. 3. Henry Rollins hits the spotlight with his new album and movie 'The Chase" where he stars as a cop (yes, Henry Rollins a cop) beside Charlie Sheen. He will be recognized as the truly great man he is, and will win the next U.S. Presidential election. 4. BUZZ & SKEETER, along with their friend Smelly G will form a band, get signed by Nettwerkand become worshipped as Punk/Alternative icons, not unlike Kurt Cobain or Henry Rollins. 5. More shitty movies starring shitty rappers will come out, with tons of promotion and shitty soundtracks. 6. People will realize that political correctness is really FUCKING annoying, but there will always be certain people (eh, M.D.?) who continue to use it, and won't get laid.

Trouble in Loveland: Larry Ham and Tina Molnar (Romeo and Juliet) in the UCFV Theatre Production of Goodnight Desdemona (Goodmorning Juliet).

Shakespeare Modernized In Intimate UCFV Setting By Monique Marchant UCFV Theatre Department had declared the 1993-94 season as being one totally devoted to comedy, and Goodnight Desdemona(GoodMomingJuliet)laughs the audience through the second successful comedy of their season. The first act starts off in Constance's office at Queen's University. It is from here that she is transported to Othello's Citadel at Cyprus. In act two the action takes place at various locations in Verona. It may seem strange for a play to be situated in both modem day, existing places and cities of the past with the fictional set up of Shakespeare's plays, but the way in which Ann-Marie MacDonald has written her play it not only works, but with a little bit of imagination, it almost seems plausible. Constance is a bit of a strange character, and although she is extremely laughable, it is impossible not to sympathize with her. The audience learns the fate of her parakeet and dodges the mysterious contents of a small jar (until you go see it) when it gets flung towards them. Constance has devoted most of her life to studying Shakespeare and came to the conclusion that two of his plays, Othello and Romeo and Juliet, may actually have been comedies which he had stolen and changed into tragedies. It is this concept that the entire play is built upon as through a magical transformation of sorts, Constantine is transported into the plays. Using the UCFV Studio Theatre out at the Chilliwack campus· was a good

choice for this particular presentation. Because it is a small theatre the audience has the benefit of being up and close, seeing everything. It also gives the audience the sense of being a part of the production. The set of the production is rather simple, but it conveys the necessary images. An old wooden teachers desk and chair with a large garbage beside it serve to identify Constantine's office at Queen's University. The ancient cities of Shakespeare's plays are identified by a large, and I must admit, rather gruesome, statue in the style of those we study in Western Civilization type classes. - As seems to be tradition with the plays put on by UCFV theatre department, the acting was nothing short of tremendous. Lynne Wells did an excellent job of portraying the character of Constance. It would be far better for you to go see the performance than for me to try to describe it. The other four actors had the difficult job of playing multiple roles. Bruce Edwards, Larry Hamm, Tina Molnar, and Jeanette

Plant managed this task wonderfully, and the on going antics of all of the characters creates a fast paced hilarious play with lots of enthusiasm. Watch for Romeo andJuliet and their fight over Hector the turtle. I think that the ensuing situation is probably best described as "split custody." Also revealed in the play is the answer to Desdemona's question, "Is no one straight in Verona?" The lighting and sound greatly adds to the play, and the music varies from the style of the Gregorian chant to the song "Bad to the Bone." Because of the multiple roles played by the four of the five cast members of this play numerous quick changes are needed. This did not allow for elaborate costumes, but simple ones which were easily transformed. Issues which were looked at in this play are relative not only to Shakespeare's time, but also to ours. The cast and crew have done an excellent job of producing Ann-Marie MacDonald's play. It is nice to see a Canadian work being produced so successfully. I highly recommend that you go see this play. It's well worth your money. GOODNIGHT DESDEMONA (GOOD MORNING JULIET) by AnnMarie MacDonald. Presented by UCFV Theatre Department; January21-February 5; directed by Lee Purvis; assistant director ,and sound designer is Jan Elsted; set and lighting design by Jim Wenting; costume design by Heather Robertson; stage managed by Andrew Smith.

GOOD EATS WITH JILL

Blue Light Special

Inifinite Possibilities; Great Bagels, Too Benny's on Broadway doesn't do donuts. By Jill Bryant As most of my restaurant reviews have so far been local, and I know many of you try to spend as little time in Abbotsford as possible, I decied to spread my wings and eat further afield. This search led me to Benny's on Broadway in Vancouver - a favorite of the investigative reporting staff of the CASCADE. At first I was hesitant - a restaurant whose main menu iten is bagels? But I soon lamed- we're not talking just bagels here. Benny's has more than a dozen kinds of bagels, always freshly baked and ready, rangingfromPlainBoiledandSuper-Purist to Herb, Foccacia and even the infamous Burnt. Then they take these bagels and • cover, melt and~bak-ealmostanything you could imagine on it - from double cheese melts (try brie and dill cream cheese on herb) or tofu (yes, tofu, on Jack's Mandarin Tufu Patty San), to the Bagel Mex (cheddar, salsa, pickled chile peppers, crushed tortillas and avocado on whole wheat) and the traditional Lox on a Bagel. They also feature salads, soups, pretzels and a very tempting dessert menu. The atmosphere is very laid-back and friendly - to order, you wait in line and peruse the menu (if you don't already have a favourite), then you order and they take your name. ,You sit down at one of the candle-lit, quaintly crooked, wood tables and wait until they holler out your name. You holler back and they bring you your food. It's a great way to meet the people around you, which tends to happen anyways. I happened to meet an entertaining Scottish

guy, kilt and all, with as accent so thick I could barely understand him when he asked me the time. Apparently, if you come in on a weekend at about 2am. (they're open 24 hours), chances are you'll end up sharing the teensy tables with several strangers of varying nationalities - as you can see, the possibilities are endless when you eat at Benny's! Perhaps most imporantly, Benny's. is an establishment with a sense of humour - even reading through the menu invariably produces a few guffawas, especially when they themselves describe their sandwiches (bagelwiches?) as "weird but delicious", politically correct, "a hot, chewy, cheezy peice of business that might otherwise be arrested ..." Even their motto, "Benny's Hot Food No DQnuts" typifies their whole attitude. I think the mood of the place is summed up in the unique disclainer they - pu't on their bagels: 'There is nothing quite so perfect as a fond memory, especially one of a bagel haunt in your home town that was open all night etc. In Vancouver, we make Benny's bagels. Not Montreal bagels just like the - ones on rue St. Viatear. Nor like those found near some dump in Brooklyn. We make our bagels right here on the premises with natural ingredients and no preservatives. And we bake all day and night, small batches so you can be sure they're fresh. So the next time you go compatjng our bagels to your fond memories - be careful." I'm sure you'll be making some fond memories of your own here - so if you have the wheels to get to Vancouver, don't miss it!

Deep Thoughts --------------

By Madelaine Journal Entry Nov.25/93 p.92 It's funny the way some things that used to matter so much in our lives mean absolutely nothing later on in life. We never seem to accept that concept at the time when things matter, however. Perhaps, if people sat down and really thought about it, they would realize it's true. And if they (we) programmed it into our shunted brains, there would be a lot less arguing. When I'm thirty, I'll be lucky if I even remember the name of the boy who stood me up in grade twelve, let alone still hate him for it. I remember a couple years ago (eight) I spilt whiteout on my bedspread, and I was so worried about it. I felt guilty for days every time I saw the patch of pink material with the scraped off white stain. My mother was quite upset with me. Now the bedspread is long gone, probably bought

by someone at the Salvation Army. I can't even remember if my mother donated it or brought it to the dump. I wonder if the new owner (if any) thought about the stain. How could they know it's a whiteout stain? How could they know how much worry it caused me? They couldn't, that'sthewholepoint. Whocares! Who cares if your brother forgot your birthday, or if your friend forgot to invite you out on the weekend. One day in your life won't make a rat's ass worth of a difference twenty years from now. We might as well live happilrwhile we still live. Besides, we'll all be dead within the next century at the maximum, if not frozen in a liquid nitrogen bath for a few decades. If not sent to another dimension where time goes by slower. I have a new bedspread now, this one's nicer. I'll trynottoeverspill whiteout on it; but if I do, I will remind m yseif not to worry about it...if I remember.

Wet Your Whistle; But Don't D&D By Michelle Demers Alcohol. The fav beverage among the 20-something disenfranchised generation X. We consume it. We chug, sip, gulp, shoot, choke, slurp and on occasion puke it. Whole industries are based on our consumption of it. We each have a favfrom lite beer to red wine to a shot of J .D .. The commercials tell us we're cool. Counterattack tells us to call home. Our parents tell us to be responsible. We just want to drink. Our whole social life often centers -around the activity. With dinner. The bar/ club/pub. The party. The roadtrip. It's all around us. And the good stuff ain't cheap. That's where I come in. Certain beverage establishments around here seem to truly empathize with the plight of the student. They are a class unto their own. Their distinguishing feature? Their alcohol is cheap-often $1. So, save those loonies. Forget pay parking. Especially when parking off campus for a week can get you happy on a Friday night. So here it is. Michelle's semi-

complete list of places to wet your whistle. Submissions would be appreciated. MONDAY-China Beach. $1/ B**R : Langley. Never been-but hey what a way to start the week! TUESDAY-Steel Monkey. $1 highballs: Coquitlam. Get here early-like 8pm. It's packed. Semi- meat market. but none the less cheap. WEDNESDAY-Bryan's Bedroom : Matsqui. Intimate yet fun. Check with Jill to make reservations. THURSDAY-Tommy's in the Haney Hotel. $1 highballs: Maple Ridge. A MUST go to. Packed to the brim. Be there by 9. FRIDAY/SATURDAYEverywhere that's worth being at will have some sort of cheap alcohol. Special mention should be made about Chilliwack-Greg's and Annie's have cheap B**R and highballs all the time! Come to Room E242 for 1/2 price admission coupons for Annies. On a sports note- Paul, Ray, Ehren, and Derek are true heroes of this school and ought to be immortalized forever in blue and green. Thanks guys- and, hey, nice pees!

A More Reasonable Prerequisite Colleges and Universities A Two-part Essay on the Prerequisite System at UCFV

ByPeter S.S. Scholz Life is a very complex, fascinating, and enjoyable thing. Throughout it, every person is exposed to countless occurrences that add spice to their very existence. For many people, the expression of these happenings can only occur properly in the context of a particular ability or type of learning to which, more often than not, that individual finds him or herself attracted. Over time, that knowledge becomes the person's format of expression-a base to which they relate their experiences. It is natural and right that this should be; since in the pursuit of knowledge it spurs on people to look where no one haslooked and do what no one has done and is the ultimate source of human creativity. The future geologist can often be found on a rocky beach at the age of ten, the future pilot will often admire the aerodynamic curves on his plastic jet at a similarly young age. Of course, few people realize their inherent ability so young, and some never do, but everyone has it. It is not a coincidence that the juvenile boy

sucked into a street gang is unlikely to ever find his individual ability, due to the probably life-long domination imposed on bis psyche. Thus almost always every person will expand on their natural abilities to some degree, with or without external assistance. More often than not, however, a person's natural mode or modes of expression can be most easily assisted with a formalized learning institution such as a library, or far more importantly a school, especially a university. And herein lies a fundamental contradiction with normal university policies and the natural human condition. For many years I have studied geography. More specifically, I have studied the political and population (especially urban) sectors of human geography. I have not studied with textbooks. I have studied by examining every map that comes before me, reading and sometimes clipping every article I happen to come across dealing with the subject, and learning the interaction of the many different geographical phenomena by making multitudes of maps. In this way my knowledge of population and political geography hasjourneyed far beyond the

System

gatesofmentalknowledgeandhasentered the realm of emotional knowledge. I can feel how the urban expanses of Metro Vancouver seek to spread southeast towards Clearbrook. I can see my feelings were correct when I hear Surrey is the fastest growing municipality in Canada, when I see two arms of urbanity reaching

for out of Langley, one towards Vancouver, and the other towards Clearbrook, and when I see the largest quantity of growth in Abbotsford-Matsqui to be in the part of Clearbrook facing Vancouver.

Earlier this year I had a notion that I might have an idea of what I would like to be wlien I grow up. Nothing unusual about that, you might say, except that I'm of the age when most people have been grown up and doing whatever it is they wanted to do for quite some time. Wben I began to look at the career world I quickly realized that I would have to retrain if I wanted to do anything worthwhile. I had been a stay-at-borne mum for eighteen years, and I hadn't been in a classroom for over a quarter of a century! To say that I was nervous about returning to school would be an understatement-I was terrified! I could, after all, remember my school years well. My father was in the British Army, so I attended many different schools in many different countries, but the rules and regulations remained the same in all of them. The teachers never bad first names and rarely bad surnames either, they were simply Sir or Madam. They never bad a sense of humour, and were deadly aims with the blackboard eraser. Rumor bad it that the teachers actually lived in the basement of the school and didn't have a home life at all. No student was allowed to chew gum within a five mile radius of the school grounds. Clothes worn to school bad to be "appropriate"; this usually meant uniform, but when that was waived, girls always wore skirts or dresses and the boys dress pants, shirt and tie. The tee shirt had yet to be invented. Scuffed shoes could cause you to be ridiculed for a week by some sadistic master. If a boy's hair touched his collar _ he was simply suspended until the offending hair was removed. I never did well at school, partly due to the conditions but also partly due to my own indifference. After all, if a 'C'

would do, why slave away for a 'C+'? However, if I was to try to gain a degree I would have to attend university; there was nothing else for it, and therefore I would be forced to return to the classroom. I made my first tentative phone call to UCFV. I'm sure the lady at the other end of the line in registration wondered what she had done to deserve this idiot, but she never let on and kindly referred me to a counsellor. When I went to see him I felt sure be would fall off bis chair laughing at the thought of me trying to get a degree, but be didn't. From my first contact with UCFV everyone bas been so very encouragingandbelpful. Professors smile and even crack the odd joke. (come to think of it most of their jokes are odd!) In this my first semester, I have learned how to use the library. spent many happy hours in the writing center (battling with comma splices), burned the lines to the switchboard, bothered student services often and driven my Professors crazy with endless questions. Yet never once have I been rebuffed; everyone bas been so kind and patient. These last few months have been amongst the happiest of my life. I love college and I love learning. My fellow students are a wonderfully diverse group of people, refreshing, entertaining, and helpful. They are always willing to extend a helping band or lend a willing ear. Of course, none of this would've been possible without the loving support of my husband and family. They are encouraging when I am worried about an exam, and share in my excitement when I am learning something new. Oh, yes, and the girls always love it when I have more homework than them! So I guess the purpose of this essay is just to say thank-you to everyone for helping me, and for sharing with me the joysoflearning. Imaybelonginthetooth, but now I know - you ~ teach an old dog new tricks.

Special

Report

By Doug Colby, Michelle Demers, & Bryan Sikora In 1964 in Alaska, a magnitude 8.6 earthquake struck between Valdez and Anchorage, sending out massive tremors for well over 3 minutes. The force of the earthquake, equal to several thousand atomic bombs, sent tsunamis racing down the west coast of North America. One such tsunami, or tidal wave, killed twelve people on the beach at Crescent City California. Aftershocks were felt in Vancouver. The destruction was almost beyond comprehension. Could this catastrophe happen here in the Lower Mainland? Absolutely. In fact, most geologists agree that we're long overdue for the "big one", and each passing day just brings us a step closer. The south coast of B.C. is located on a subduction zone, where the Juan De Fuca plate is trying to squeeze under the North American plate. The Juan De Fuca plate is stuck, and immense pressure is building up. When this plate finally slips, the shift will cause an earthquake which most experts predict will be 8 to 9 on the Richter scale. Needless to say, there will be widespread loss of life and damage in the Lower. Mainland, Vancouver Island and Washington State. Of course, the Fraser Valley will be hard hit as well, with fires, crushed buildings and road damage just part of the scenario. But it isn't all bleak. The key, according to Provincial Emergency Program (PEP) coordinators, is preparedness. In Abbotsford-Matsqui, preparedness comes in the form of distinct organizations, regular meetings, pamphlet handouts and communications, all geared toward coping with, and surviving an earthquake. "We distribute pamphlets to libraries, and have a comprehensive plan, in coordination with the fire and police

departments. We also have a committee, with Municipal Emergency Directors from both Abbotsford and Matsqui." states Denaine Milette, acting coordinator for Emergency and Social Services in Matsqui. The director in Abbotsford is Don Bowen, while Doug Elliott is Matsqui's . In addition to these vital committees, ham radio operators and search and rescue personnel are ready in the event of a major emergency. When_ an earthquake does strike southwestern B.C., the people of Abbotsford-Matsqui will, at the very least, know their community leaders have a detailed plan in place. As for the individual citizen, the decision to stock up on water, food and blankets is a personal one. Something tells me it may be a wise one. Just ask a resident of L.A.

Being Prepared Is Key To Survival In the event of an earthquake or similar disaster; it is important to have a plan ready in advance. Don't rely on someone else to help you-there may not be anyone else to help. During the earthquake, it is most important to stay calm, stay put and get in an doorway or under a strong table to protect yourself. There are some things you can do in advance to better your chances in such a situation-like setting up an earthquake emergency kit, and having it in an accessible place, like a closet. Your kit should include: - temporary shelter or tent - sleeping bag or emergency blanket - flashlight with working batteries (check them occasionally) - transistor radio, with working batteries - non-perishable food items and bottled water to last 72 hours - first aid kit and medicines - good pair of shoes - water filter and anti-bacterial pills - toilet paper - money Remember to stay calm and try to lend a hand to others in need. Keeping a clear head is the only way to increase your chances of survival. You can also check the front of your phone book and other sources for more information.

Overdue Along some long-active faults, there are short, inactive segments called seismic gaps where earthquakes have not occurred for a long time. These gaps are widely thought to be the most likely sites for future earthquakes.

UCFV Earthquake Proc·edures In the event of an earthquake at University College of the Fraser ValleyBldg. A, building staff and students shall react in the following manner: 1) During the shaking, protect yourself by taking cover under a table, desk, or crouch against an interior wall (do not stand in a doorway because you become a silhouette for a shrapnel hazard). Do not stand under light fixtures, near book shelves, etc. If possible, predetermine a safe location to take cover in, prior to an earthquake. 2) Do not leave cover until instructed to do so.

3) After a major shock, evacuate the building as in a fire, if so directed by the Evacuation Control Officer. REMEMBER, additional shocks or tremors may occur. 4) Keepcalm. Donotrunoutdoors. Watch for falling debris or electrical wires when leaving the building. 5) Proceed to the designated assembly area in parking areas northeast of the building and in the park areas southeast of the building, as per Part 15 Floor Plans, if it is safe to do so. 6) If fire occurs, activate the nearest fire alarm pull station, as system may still be functional. 7) If qualified, render first-aid. If not qualified, assist those rendering/requiring first aid. 8) Report any missing persons to Instructors, as they will relay information to the Evacuation Control Officer. 9) Telephones are to be reserved for emergency use only.

Mel's Outdoor Adventures By Melanie Glaim The hike at Green Drop Lake was incredible. As hard as it is to get up on a foggy Sunday morning, we. had an enthusiastic group of six. The great thing about hiking is how fast one can make new friends. We started . out as strangers, and by the end of the day, we had plans together for the next week end. The hike started out as a fairly steep trail to the first lake; Lindeman. The terrain then became more varied with snowy rocks and icy bridges. We experienced all of our beautiful British Columbian weather; rain, hail, and snow. Once we reached GreenDrop Lake, there was fresh snow up to our knees. We parked on a fallen log and reflected on our accomplishmentsover lunch. We even had live entertainmentfrom local vocalist Scott M. (Soon to be the lead singer of Pearl Jam). After an attempt at a group singalong, we realized that not everyoneknows the words to the Brady Bunch theme song. We also had a breath-taking rendition of Kramer's famouslineby AndrewL.; 'These pretzels are making me thirsty." Sadly however, our own Jocelyn had to be excommunicated after 3 points for no-tie phrases. No worries though, she was permitted to rejoin the group after lunch.

Entering the Twilight Zone Talking tattoos with Artists Ronnie and Lori By Bob Kay As she pressed the gun against my back, my whole body went tense, and I thought to myself, there's no turning back now. The time had come to face my inner strength: my manhood. I felt like I was in the Twighlight Zone; yes that's it! I was in the Twighlight Zone. Twilight Zone Tattoos. This was my first time getting tattooed and I had a lot of questions about the procedure so I sat down with the artist's Lori and Ronnie to clear up a few questions that were stirring in my mind about tattoos.

BoB: First of all, people want to know right off the bat, is there any risk of getting AIDS from getting a tattoo? Can you catch Hepatitis? Infection? Does it hurt? What does it cost? Can it be removed if I don't like it? I'm here with Lori Chestnut, owner of the Twilight Zone Tattoos, and her partner, Ronnie Danicki. With these questions and more the interview started with Lori reassuring me that there has never been 'a single known case relating AIDS to tattooing, but she warns us that the chances of catching Hepatitis from someone who does not use the proper medical sterilization equipment is possible. The machine they use is called a steam Autoclave. It is certified by the Board of Health for sterilizing, killing and eliminating any and all traces of blood, mucus, organic material that cause Hepatitis B as well as HIV- (AIDS). They take extreme caution when administrating any and all tattoos. Ronnie also reassures us that there are a lot of fly by nights, so always be cautious and ask a lot of questions before getting tattooed. Now that that's out of the way , there's this question about pain. Is there a lot of pain involved?

Ronnie: The pain can totally depend on the person, and the attitude that person is in that day. Lori: Most people get worked up and psyche themselves out. It's annoying more than it is painful and most of the pain comes from the wiping of the blood; this makes the area raw and tender. Ronnie: Women have a higher tolerance for pain. They take the pain better than men. BoB: If I come in and I want a small, let's say a shoulder piece tattooed, does it cost a lot? And if you' re a tattooist can you make a lot of money at it? Lori: For the majority of the people that come in and want a tattoo, the price usually runs around 50 to 1OOdollarsfor something small, butfor some people that are into the art, the cost is irrelevant it means jack shit to them. As for income, let's put it this way: I gave up a $30,000 a year job to tattoo full time. That ought to give you some sense of how much money we make. Ronnie: It'sacontractforlife! Whenyou leave this earth, you leave with nothing but the art on your body. It's very inexpensive for something so permanent.

''Youcan't make mistakes; there's no erasing, no margin for error, none whatsoever." BoB: Speaking of permanent, someone comes in and has no idea, or some idea, of what they want Can you tattoo anything? Ronnie: A lot of people that come in usually have an idea about what they want, but when they get inside they see so much flash, so much array, so much shit on our walls, it's like "WOW ! I want that instead!" Lori: I'd say the majority of people that

come in think its a novelty. They want a tattoo so they hurry and pick something off the wall. We tattoo it, they like it, it looks great, and then they get the ''Tattoo Bug". The next thing you know they're back in to the shop saying "Man, ifl had of known it was going to be this addictive, I would have really planned it before I gotmyfirstpiece of artwork done." Ronnie: My first tattoo was done on impulse! BoB: How can someone go about getting involved in tattooing? Is there a school or some kind of course a person can take? Lori: No, there is not school or course available, but you can apprentice under another tattooist, or be self taught ( like myself ). It takes years to become a professional, though. The only thing that can help you is if you have some knowledge of art! Not everybody can pick up an eight ounce tool in their hand and, with such a delicate procedure, tattoo something so small , so detailed It's hard to explain. I'll tell you, you could be the greatest artist in the world, but if you can't handle the stress that's involved, you'll never make itasa tattooist Just to know that the work your doing is going to be on somebody's body for the rest of their lives is stressful. You can't make mistakes; there's no erasing, no margin for error, none whatsoever! Ronnie: That thought alone can be extremely stressful. BOB: Thank you, Ronnie and Lori, for your time and cooperation! You've answered a lot of questions I bad about the procedure of body art ( tattooing). If you're interested in getting tattooed, come down to their studio in Chilliwack and they will be more than happy to answer any and all questions you might have. Oh, by the way it does hurt. OUCH!!!!!

EAR TO THE GROUND

Top 20 Of The Stuff I Bought In 1993 By Dallas J. Look, I know that I'm supposed to be starting a George Gissing novel that should already be done by now but I'm not. In keeping with my great tradition of procrastination, my best of 1993 list is being done the night before the deadline of the second paper of 1994. This list does not include any live albums, compilations, cover albums, greatest hits, or soundtracks ...just new stuff. Hope that you disagree. (In Alphabetical Order)

Bootsauce-Sleeping

Bootie (Vertigo) :Alternative-rock-dance-funk which is so good that you don't deserve it Concrete Blonde-Mexican Moon (Capitol): A dark, scary, and appropriate finale for an underrated band. The Cranberries-Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? (Island): Stunning debut that puts that other band from Ireland to shame. Duran Duran-Duran Duran (EMI): Stop sneering, forget about the eighties, and listen to a band that has finally earned the right to be called that.

Ice Cube-Lethal Injection (Priority): Offensive, angry, and funky. One question: can I go to the concert even though I'm white? Ice-T -Home Invasion (Rhyme Syndicate): This one finally gothimkicked off his old label as he drops the political correctness and retains the title of "King of Rap." Billy Idol-Cyberpunk (Chrysalis): Concept albums are hard to accept; Billy achieved success in a finicky realm despite himself. Inxs-Full Moon, Dirty Hearts (Atlantic): A better album than you'd think as it seems that Michael Hutchence has more on bis mind this time thanjust getting laid. Jesus Jones-Perverse (Capitol): No live instruments and it has more depth than most technoalbums ...if only Mike Edwards wasn't such a prick. Living Colour-Stain (Epic): Smarter than Body Count, tighter than Bad Brains, better than you. DuffMcKagan-Believe In Me (Geffen): What's that noise? It's zit-faced rock n' roll! Shut up and enjoy it Nirvana-In Utero (DGC): Above the din, they prove that they're musicians. Believe

the hype. Odds- Bedbugs (Zoo): Why are men they way they are? This album provides more than divine insight-it provides selfjustification. Pearl Jam-Vs. (Epic): After Brendan O'Brien showed Stone Temple Pilots how todoagoodPearlJamimpressionlastyear, Pearl Jam is shown how to do a good Stone Temple Pilots impression. Get it anyway. Iggy Pop-American Caesar(Virgin): The innovator shows thathecan still do anything and look gross doing it Good music seems lost today: Fmd Iggy, find truth.

The

Pursuit

of Happiness--Tbe

Downward Road (Mercury): Catchy poprock filled with loss, self-hatred and sexual impotence. What more do you need? Radiohead-Pablo Honey (EMI): Noise and harmonies and the greatest single of all time,"Creep." .Tool-Undertow (Zoo): If this doesn't scare you, then you' re already dead. Paul Westerberg-14 Songs (Sire/ Reprise): SinceArtBergmanndidn'trelease an album this year, Paul gets bis spot Yo Yo-You Better Ask Somebody (Eastwest): She traded her Black Pearl for blunts and she can still kick your ass.

A Message FromYour U.C.F.V. Student Society We are comprised of IBREE, yes, 3, people trying to meet your demands. There is the P_resident,Jayce Henderson, who is very cute and cuddly, but extremely busy. Keeping track of everything is Brent Leith, Vice President, Societal Affairs, a.k.a. the Secretary. Wacky kind of guy, but there none the less. Once again, he's got a full life and is very busy. Lastly, the Treasurer, whose official title is Vice President,

Finance, is myself, Kevin Buchanan. I'm very devoted to many things, but committed to the Student Body. I'm also very busy. Despite being so busy, we have come together to best represent you, the Student Body, to the best of our abilities. We would like to offer you everything that you deserve: from social activities to representation on various UCFV committees. The following are a few items on our agenda which we would like you to know about.

Where Are We?

Meet Us!

Let's Meet!

Parking Issues.

Microwaves!

The UCFV Student Society office is located behind the red door of Room E244 in the E wing of the Abbotsford Campus. Our room is between the Pepsi machine and the Road Runner snack bar. As ourprevious location was assumed by the Cascade staff, we are often carousing around the E wing. Just whistle LOUDLY in the vicinity, and we might show up at your feet. Brent and myself, Kevin, are also quite often found in Finnegan's (alias: the library), the pub next door, in the case of an emergency. Jayce has a dual life, with onehalf being in Victoria.

EveryThursday,from 122 p.m., the Student Society, namely, Jayce, Brent, and myself will be available to talk, debate, answer, argue, discuss, alleviate, converse, prattle, dispute, plead and console your thoughts, ideas, concerns, complaints, and suggestions. We will be found in eitherouroffice,remember, Room E244, or E242, OR the E lounge.

The Student Society will be holding weekly meetings at our office (Room E244) for the continuation of the winter semester. We will be calling the meetings to order every Tuesday, at 4 p.m. in our office (Room E244). EVERYONE IS WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND!

Due to a number of requests, we will be looking into the negligent parking patrons in the designated Women's lots. In doing so, we wish to allevjate further aggravation encountered by our female members of the Student Body. In addition, we will be looking into the Women's parking lot in Chilliwack, or lack of. We want UCFV to be a safe place for everyone!

We are currently attempting to purchase and install microwaves for the use of the Student Body. These appliances are not to be used for warming your extremities on the coming freezing days, rather to make those cold cuts hot, re-heating yesterday's pizza, and melting the butter on those muffins. These microwaves will be placed on the Abbotsford and Chilliwack campus', as well as in the new Hope center. Now the rest of us can warm our buns like Mission has been doing.

Keep Fighting! _

Gastronomic Delights! In the near future, we plan on providing various food events to broaden your cultural tastes, if not your waistline. There will be an array of different foods from different cultures available for your tasting. Try it, you might like it!

As everyone knows, Pay Parking is the newest evil to UCFV Students. It is inevitably coming, much like taxes and death. At this point, we can only hope that land will soon be released from the Agricultural Land Reserve. We encourage you to carpool, walk, whatever it takes to avoid the new Parking Tax. We will not roll over on this issue until we are ALL satisfied!

Social Center We are currently attempting to convert the E Lounge in the Abbotsford campus to an active area for socializing. We plan to install entertainment equipmentforyourpleasure. The ELounge will become TI-IE place to relax, sit back and live student life to the fullest! Televised sporting events to guest speakers to even the ridiculous.

HELP! There are numerous committees of which we, the Student Body, are able to be heard. We only need YOU to volunteer three to four hours a month to represent the Student Body and voice our concerns. Let's put an end to this Apathy rumour!

Be a part of the NEW Revolution which is which play at the Clearbrook Community Center? Did happening! It doesn't take much. All you have to do you know that one of your requests has been heard: An is voice your thoughts and ideas to us and attend some Automated Teller Machine is on its way! of the planned activities.
