Thiessen said that he was "pleased with the ability of the students to work through a number of complex issues in the form of concrete proposals. That is particularly difficult given that a consensus was required."

Although the end results of the success of the October 26 Renewing and Reviewing Workshops may not be seen for a long time, it is possible to assess the workshops themselves and the processes which will be evolving from them.

Politics, Leaming Environment, Degree Options: 13 Recommendations from Students

Of particular interest to everyone was the Student Issues Workshop facilitated by Jaclyn Rea, David Thiessen, and Gwen Coates.

One of the resultsof the October26 workshopswas a list of recommendationswhich have already been collected and forwardedto the T.A.S.C.Force.

The Student Issues Workshop came up with a list of thirteenrecommendations.Three of them,numbersfour,five,and six,have been given to the StudentSocietyto be writtenup in the formofmorespecificrecommendations.Theserecommendations will then to be resubmittedto the T.A.S.C.Force.

The students in attendance of the Student Issues Workshop made the following recommendations:

Three issues were introduced to the 100 plus students who attended the morning session. They were politics, learning environment, and degree options. The afternoon sessionhad approximately42 people taking the ideas from the morning session and coming up with recommendations -- 13 in total.

West Council Names New Chairperson Clarence Giesbrecht appointed to Campus Chair position after Melanie Glaim's resignation

By Bryan Sikora The West Campus Council has named Clarence Giesbrecht to the position of West Campus Council Chairperson.

Replacing Melaine Glaim, who resigned October 25, Giesbrecht was appointed to the position at the November 1 meeting of the UCFV Student Society, according to the current by-laws.

"I think it's awesome - I'm.really looking forward to the challenge" of being the Chair, Giesbrecht said later.

The new appointee - a second-year science student - has many ideas which he hopes will improve student life at UCFV. "We're petitioning for the present library to be tumedintoaS.U.C. Hole-that's a Student Union Centre - when the new L.R.C. opens up. Also, a lot of ideas came out of the October 26 forum which must be acted upon."

The shadow of unprofessionalism stills cloaks the Student Society, but Giesbrecht won't have any of it.

"There was disrespect coming from the previous Chair, but that won't happen with me. There were some hard feelings between society members, but those are gone now."

"Our meetings will now have more structure and order, and we'll always keep

the door open but the onus is on students to come forth with their ideas."

Other West Council members seemed relieved to have a new Chair.

"There's a positive environment that's conducive to an effective and constructive year," Clare Goldman, West _Campus Member-at-Large says of the present atmosphere of the Society.

From Wilder to Wilde: Who's Next?

First play of the season is a success; an "earnest" effort at a comedy of manners

By Monique Marchant TI-IE IMPORTANCEOFBEING EARNEST by Oscar Wilde, 1894. Presented by UCFV Theatre Department; November 11-26, 1994; directed by Ian Fenwick; set design

by Astrid Beugeling; costume design by Jody Cameron; lighting designed by Frank Froese; stage managed by Maureen Sawasy. At the UCFV Studio Theatre, 45600 Airport Road, Chilliwack.

Derek Payne ........................ Lane Richard Peters ..................... Algermon Moncrieff Andrew Smith .................... .John Worthing, J.C. Margaret Rayworth .............Lady Bracknell Paula Antil .......................... Hon. Gwendolen Fairfax Ann Cooper .................... ....Miss Prism Erin Wells ........................... Cecily Cardew -Gordon Hamilton ................ Merriman Jim Servizi .......................... Rev. Canon Chasuble, D.D.

Once again the UCFV Theatre Department has managed not only to chose a popular play to open their season with, but also to do an excellent job of producing it.

1HE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST is a three-act play set in London, England and the Countryside in the year 1894. It satirizes the triviality and shallowness of people living in both the country and the town.

A comedy of manners can be a difficult style of play to work with. It is perhaps one of the few instances where an actor is more successful in their role if it is over-acted. The more exaggeration that there is, the better the play will be.

Of course this can be overdone, but the actors and actresses in this production did an excellent job of maintaining the balance necessary for this type of production.

The cast chosen for the roles of this first production of the year could not have played the parts better if they were the characters themselves.

One character that will remain the memories of everyone is that of Merriman played by Gordon Hamilton.

Although it is only a minor character, when he was on stage he had the attention, and laughter, of the entire audience. It takes a great deal of patience and skill to present a character who walks and talks like Merriman. A flicker of amusement briefly passed over the faces and danced in the eyes of many of the other actors as they tried to remain in character and not react along with the audience.

Miss Prism, played by Ann Cooper, is another character to watch. Her reactions to those around her are displayed so vividly in her facial expressions. Her skittish jumps and flittering about makes her character all the more real.

The character of Algermon Moncrieff, portrayed by Richard Peters, was very realistic. Or perhaps, being a comedy of manners, realistic is not the word that should be used. Peters seemed to be very relaxed in his role, carrying himself about the room in a confident manner. He exists as the character instead of acting.

Photo By Rick Mawsoo

Algermon Moncrieff, played by Richard Peters, makes an earnest attempt at winning the affections of Cecily Cardew, played by Erin Wells In Oscar WIide's The Importance of Being Earnest. For ticket Informationcall 795-2814.

Andrew Smith's soft spoken manner and wide open eyes filled with sincerity helped him to give a believable performance of John Worthing, also known as Jack in the country and Earnest in town. Even when he was angry he was still able to maintain the appearance of being "earnest."

Once again Paula Antil and Erin Wells take on the characters of the women in love. They seem to be much more comfortable on the stage this time as the Honorable Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew than they did in Thornton Wilder's play 1HE MATCHMAKER last autunm. They do a good job of presenting the young women of the town and country.

The set was very much suited to the period of time depicted in 1HE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, and it was well designed for the amount of space available to them in the Studio Theatre.

Perhaps one of the most unusual aspects of the play was the fact that the audience applauded the in-theatre scene

change which occurs between Acts two and three. It was done so well that it almost seemed to be another scene added on to the play Everyone on the set crew was dressed as either a butler or a maid from the period, and throughout the entire scene change they all kept in character. Even Merriman kept in character as he bumbled along, hurrying to get the job done in his hopelessly slow manner.

A comedy of manners, when well done, is guaranteed to be a success with audiences. The UCFV Theatre Department's production of Oscar Wilde's THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST is no exception.

On a note of interest: Last autumn the play was written

by Wilder. This year it is by a Wilde. Who's up fornext year, is there a Wild out there somewhere? Or perhaps there is some sort of subliminal message here about the theatre department...

Skiers, Boarders, Chillidogs, & Mt. Baker Over one hundred and sixty centimeters of snow brings earliest opening in 15 years

By Pete Hutchinson It is that time of year again when a young man or woman's fancy turns toward the heavens in search of the perfect ski hill.

With the recent cold weather and the regular amount of rain for the west coast most local ski hills are off to a flying start. Mt. Baker had it's earliest opening in fifteen years. They started full operation on November 5, and as of November 10 they had over 160 cm.

On a recent escape from the rain soaked lower mainland I journeyed up to this wonderful winter wonderland to regain my ski legs.

There was only one chair that was not in operation and this was due to a heavy

avalanche danger on Pan Face. Throughout the day you could hear the sound of explosives going off in the not so far distance.

The snow was typically heavy for this time of year but there was one difference on the mountain that made this absolute hell: the grooming of the runs was pathetic.

One would even have a hard time getting your turns back into shape. Even tucking and trying to maintain mach 2 was difficult because of the hard crud that the groomers left behind. So with a lot of psychotism and a little brains, I managed to find the old speed jumps and the 90' s that make you wish gravity would take a break while you're skiing.

As usual I toured off into the trees looking for the ultimate in air time only to

find the snow was so heavy that turning was only accomplished at high speeds and small ridges or by laying your ass out and bouncing back up after gravity had completed it's work.

In search of the usual air spots I found the only way to get air was to make it myself.

In light of this fact I spent the majority of my day building kickers and floaters and no, I will not tell you where I built them because past experience has shown me that some buttheads like to roll over the jumps or take their skis off and put three-foot boot holes into the arc of the jumps. The only way you will find these jumps is if you take me skiing and then, and only then, will you find the best air.

Oh, one more thing -- no boarders.

Sorry guys, I've already built one jump that

was destroyed by you fools that think big air is a whopping six inches. Mt. Baker seemed extremely swamped by these butt sliding, mogul ruining, wanna be KurtCobain freaks.

This infestation of boarders has had a serious detrimental effect on the mountain. Any run that used to be a glorious line of moguls is now nothing but sweeping three-foot trenches for it's entire length.

Over all, Mt. Baker is still Mt. Baker; lots of possibilities, great terrain, and a somewhat friendly staff. Snow conditions will only get better and their chillidogs couldn't get any worse.

So just remember, skiing is like sex: it never is~ bad.

See you fools up on the hills or just look up and I'll be flying over head.

This Sho-w Definitely Won't Change the World Love Affair flick a decent get-away from the rat-race of society.

By Candace Ribchester

I know what you are probably thinking, "Not another one of those pathetic movies where a man falls in love with a woman, tries to sweep her off her feet, succeeds, then fails, then succeeds again, and then they all live happily ever after".

Well, yeah, it is, but it is a good movie. Personally, I can't stand romance movies, and whatever possessed me to see it in the first place is beyond me, but I am actually glad I saw it.

As soon as the movie started I was engrossed. True, there is no intensely deep dialogue, and the only heart wrenching scenes are when ...well, at the end, but the movie has its own charm.

A lot of romance movies can make a person sick, especially if you are temporarily in-between a boyfriend/ girlfriend, or if you are still searching for that someone you can tolerate for any short amount of time, but Love Affair made me feel hopeful. I felt hope for everyone who has lost hope in the idea of love because it appears to be a myth to them.

Love Affair is a classic remade, and I am not sure how good the original was since I haven't seen it, but the new

version is likeable.

Of course the cast is glamorous and the scenery is divine, but the script is also somewhat uplifting. It does give hope to the idea of finding a true love.

The movie shows how cruddy someone's life is, then suddenly gives it a much needed change. In a lot of ways, the characters' lives on the screen are like normal people's lives. Their lives were bland and then they were spiced up.

This definitely isn't the years best movie, but it isn't the worst either. It doesn't have a message that will better the world, but for a change, it doesn't have a violent one that will worsen the world either.

Love Affair is a good escape film.

This is a movie that is good for both couples and single people seeing it with friends.

I don't think that it is only a movie that is good for girls, but I think that guys can see it too and enjoy it.

Love Affair is a definite option to see at the theaters, but one piece of advice: make sure you are in the mood for a semisappy movie and not a comedy or action.

I made that mistake when I went to see it and suffered for it.

Nice Guys (Wotnen) Do Finish Last

By Michelle Demers While considerable attention was/will be paid to the teams entrenched in the hard fought battle forgoldintheCCAA Women'sSoccer Nationals, one must not forget those teams that find themselves not on the medal podium.

In the case of the battle fought out at Bateman Park in the preceding week, three teams - despite their hard work and intensity - returned home without any hardware in their suitcases.

What they did return home with however, were new-found friendships, great memories and the pride that comes with knowing that your team is one of the top six women's collegiate soccer teams in Canada.

Take the team from St. Thomas University in New Brunswick, for example. Finishing up at the nationals in sixth place, this team traveled across five provinces to reassure themselves of their place near the top in women's collegiate soccer.

St. Thom's Tommies perhaps best embodied that spirit of fair play and sportspersonship that is often

absent in today's world of competitive sports.

These athletes and coaches were a breath offreshairina week of cheap shots, foul language and general bitchiness that permeated' the top teams in this tournament.

Talking with some of the St. Thomas players, they expressed their genuine pleasure of playing in the national tournament, regardless of the outcome.

Asking player Tanya AtkinsonWest - who played her final game of collegiate soccer in this tournament what the best part of the _tournament was for her, she simply stated that just being here was everything. The time spent in British Columbia, the people and the tournament will not soon be forgotten.

For this writer, it was a shame that St. Thomas could not be officially recognized for their positives attitudes and hard work, but alas, it was not to be.

What St. Thomas will be returning with to New Brunswick however, aside from the new tattoos (see front page), is a most- deserved pride for a job well done.

Hosting UCFV Women's soccer team places third in CCAA National Championship Stories By Bryan Sikora & Len Catling The UCFV Cascades women's soccer squad is No. 3 in the nation for the second year running. Beating Grant MacEwan College Griffins 2 -1 enabled the women to take home the bronze mdeals.

With both the Cascades and the Griffins finishing round-robin play with identical 1 - 1 records, the opportunity was theirs to meet in the Bronze medal match, held Saturday, Nov. 12 at Bateman Park.

With the rain finally letting up, this allowed the competitors to play soccer in relatively dry, yet very cold, conditions.

MacEwan and UCFV showed extreme patience in the first half, controlling the ball well, waiting for a scoring chance.

Both teams came out playing defensively, testing each other to find any potential weakness that could be exploited.

The majority of play occurred in the midfield, with the occasional poor scoring opportunity quickly being shutdown by the defenders.

It wasn't until midway through the second half that the tempo picked up. Sensing that time was wasting, and not wanting overtime, both teams began to pressure the opposing defenders. lnthe55thminute,MacEwansentaballdeepdownthe left side.

With the game tied 1 - 1, UCFV increased the pressure on MacEwan, hoping fo~.the winning goal.

The long and winding With a crowd of approximately 50 people watching the host UCFV Cascade team's first game, Lethbridge Community College (LCC) ~odiaks took the early initiative and jumped to a commanding 2 - 0 lead at the half, then went on to win 2 - 1 on Nov.9.

A mix-up in the UCFV defense in the 15th minute gave All-Canadian Millissa Smith the opportunity to steal the ball and beat UCFV keeper Rose Phillip-Stewart with a shot to the top-left corner of the goal, resulting in the first goal of the game.

The final Leth bridge tally came when Smith crossed the ball from the right side, with Alison Kanewisher one-timing it just underneath a diving Phillip-Stewart's outstretched arms.

LCC was extremely dominant through out the first 60 minutes, with UCFV making lazy passes and uninspired attacks.

The last 20 minutes belonged to UCFV, but it was too little too late. Good ball movement led to many potential scoring

With this win, UCFV placed third in the tournament, giving them the bronze medal, behind first place Lethbridge College Kodiaks, and second place Langara College Falcons.

chances, but the finish wasn't there, similar to UCFV regular season games.

Head Coach of UCFV, Tom Fast, said "nerves were our main enemy today.

Once we got over that, our play picked up and we started to take it to them. At this point, both teams were fairly even and neutralized each other."

UCFV's only goal came on a lob b:• Katherine Fast from 25 yards out that caught Lethbridge keeper Michelle Ratkai greatly out of position.

UCFV' s frustration began to show in the end, with many bard, uncontrolled tackles made against LCC. Sweeper Brenda Cooper of the LCC Kodiaks bad a superb game, thwarting many good UCFV scoring opportunities.

Head Coach of LCC Alvin Tietz commented "It was good for the team to win our first game."

"We started on fire in the first half, but as the game went on, we fizzled out. We should have buried them in the second half,

but little things started to go wrong - it was like a chain reaction."

Game Two UCFV made up for its disappointing showing against the Lethbridge Kodiakswith a well-rounded effort against Fanshawe CommunityCollegeFalconsofLondon, Ont., winning 2 - 1 on Nov. 10.

UCFV' s forwards and mid-fielders exhibited effective ball-control while their defenders were able to neutralize f ansbawe' s speedy attackers.

UCFV Head Coach Tom Fast said ''We played awesome. We really moved the ball well today and outworked them in all aspects of the game" ''The first goal broke things open for us. There was some luck involved with it, but we'll take it."

JoAnne Radcliffe opened the scoring when she sent a floating corner kick to the near post, which became a shot as it was bobbled over the goal line by the Fanshawe backstop when she became mixed up with a defender.

It paid off when Lisa Broad found the space and time to rocket a shot into the right corner from 7 yards out, giving the keeper little chance of reeling it in.

A turning point in the game occurred in the 56th minute when UCFV was awarded a penalty kick. Taken by Melanie Chernoff, Fanshawe keeper Melanie Moulton made a spectacular diving save to her right, knocking the ball past the post.

Minutes later, Fanshawe scored their only goal. Jennifer Granger recovered a UCFV tum-over 35 yards out from the goal, and flew in towards the goal where she , delivered a perfect shot past UCFV keeper Rose Phillip-Stewart's lower right.

This goal seemed to wake up the UCFV side as they dominated the final half hour of the match, searching, and eventually finding the winning goal.

West Chair's Message

How 'bout Your Own S.U.C. Hole?

For those of you who don't follow the rumour mill of Fraser Valley too closely, this may come as some what of a surprise.

Tuesday, November 1, your Student Society chose a new leader to take over at the helm.

A fearless man of impeccable virtue. A man with superhuman organizational skills who is able to plan incredible activities in the blink of an eye ... WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP! That man was the only one stupid enough on the Student Society to accept the position of Chair when Melanie Glaim stepped down.

I've met many of you, and to the rest, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Clarence Giesbrecht, a second year Biology student. Why did I take the job? Well, it's true that no one else wanted it, so what other reason do I need?

Seeing as how I'm a rookie at this sort of chairing stuff, I need your help. Us few tormented and overworked slaves in the Student Society all need your help. We need great ideas for stuff you want to see happen.

What do you think of turning the "old" library, when it moves, into a Student Union Centre? Your own, personal S.U.C. Hole? Adam Bodnar and Clare Goldman came up with that idea at Finnegan's.

Hey, in the S.U.C. Hole, maybe we could have our own beverage centre, with CHEAP liquids to satisfy your thirst.

We'll give the old library back when we get our own Student Union Building. Sounds like a good idea? We'll soon have a petition for you to sign here in our office.

We're also working on the idea of a trimester system. ,Any thoughts? Drop in and tell us.

Speaking of the office, it's located in E building, room 244 (between the pop machines and the snack bar).

It's open whenever someone's here. In case that's not good enough for you, we've also got office hours too.

Hours are posted on our door and around the school.

Many students expressed their concerns about the visibi I ity of the student society and their ab i Ii ty to communicate who and what they are and what they are doing.

A I though the Student Society may not be communicating to their fullest potential. neither are a I ot of the students.

The Student Society has open off ice hours on both the Abbotsford and Chi 11iwack campuses and their meetings are open to a 11 students, yet only a minuscule portion of the student body takes advantage of this.

Students are asking who the Student Society is. and the Student Society is asking who the students are. You have to meet ha I fway.

Don't complain unless you're wi 11ing to take a step in the right direction.

S.A.S.S. Who are you anyway?

Letters to Ed.

Wednesday, November 16, 1994

All

Buzz & Skeeter: Satire or something different?

Dear Ed.: This letter is regarding Buzz and Skeeter's "mega anti-women movement".

I really had no problem with it. I don't know of any woman who thinks of men as "oppressive, sexist, racist, macho bastards" for more then a day or two. I might live in a sheltered world, but then again, what I thought was satire might be a sign of something deeper.

I thought that what the aforementioned duo said of man-hating feminists also applies to

women-hating "masculinists": EVERYONE who is too hung up on hating the opposite sex "needs a big fucking enema"! I'm not mentioning names here. You know who you are.

Ifl'm wrong, if it's not a satire, then Buzz and Skeeterneed to be educated. They might even go so far as to seek professional help, and change their names.

If you're confused, look up the word "satire". It's listed as a word in my computer, and should also be in those big, thick books called dictionaries.

Tanya Kozak

Make use of a thesaurus next time.

Dear Ed.: On behalf of some of the students in our Human Services 120 class, I wish to express our deep disappointment and disillusionment with an article in The Cascade. The column was titled "Man-Hating Feminists".

We are disappointed and disillusioned to learn that part of our student fees fund a paper that would jeopardize the reputation of our college and make females feel degraded by association. We think our student fees can be put to more constructive and humanitarian causes within the college.

This column could have been written with more tact and less hostility toward feminists. If Buzz and Skeeter wish to make a strong point on any particular subject, we would suggest that they take the time with a thesaurus to utilize words other than the lewd, archaic and slang comments used to graphically illustrate the intellect of the writers.

Mary Boudreau

Ignorant tnessage Dear Ed.: First of all, if my student fees are funding such articles as Buzz and Skeeters article on feminism, I do not wish to fund a newspaper that condones such blatant sexist, homophobic, hate material.

As a woman and a proud feminist, not only is it offensive to me personally, but to all other pro-feminists. It disturbs me that at an institution of higher education, such narrow minded thinking takes place, and makes it to print!

from B&S The message it sends to students is frightening. We should all try to understand one another, not make ill-informed assumptions about a topic we know nothing about, to do so only perpetuates what already is a very real problem.

With the anniversary of the Montreal massacre approaching, I hope all students and faculty take the time to realize what an impact violence against women can have.

For Buzz and Skeeter. I have two words for you, misogynist pig!!

Aerin Barnes

Cascade has faculty member feeling disgust, sadness, and anger.

Dear Ed.: Today during a few minutes of reading I digested two items. One gave me some hope, though mingled with disappointment, while the other left me with disgust, sadness and some anger.

First I read the announcement of a conference to be held later in November in Vancouver on the topic of "Stopping the Violence." I was encouraged because some excellent speakers will be addressing some important topics, and a large audience is expected. My disappointment is that acts of violence have become so frequent, so commonplace, and that thousands of tax dollars must now be spent to support o few days talk about violence.

Then I read the UCFV "Cascade" of November 2, 1994, and was disgusted and angered that other tax dollars - students' activity fees are being used to implicitly promote violent activity and thinking. The offhand condoning in the piece entitled "Page Two" of carrying a straight edge razor in your boot, daily abuse of alcohol, the pulling out of a gun in all situations, shooting someone because they might look at you, shooting at cops, snorting cocaine and shooting heroin does not do a single thing to reduce the increasing frequency of acts of violence in society.

I would argue that such attempts at humour, shock or entertainment (I guess that's what it

was supposed to be) serve to massage minds into numbness towards violence, and for some, into the worldview that says, "Hey, violence is normal, everyone's doing it, everyone's talking (or writing about it) so what's the big deal once in awhile?!"

I do not accept that inclusion of the "Page Two" piece was validated because it was a take-off from a semisuccessful Hollywood movie. Do the editors of "The Cascade" wish to let Hollywood violence be the norm for our UCFV community culture?

What not exercise the freedom to be different, the freedom to resist the tendency towards violence in the media?

As well, I am disturbed by what seems to me to be an editorial fascination in "The Cascade" for photos representing the dark and the violent. Over the past year, numerous photographs in the "The Cascade" have depicted violence, including the cover photo of an exploded jack o' lantern in the November 2, 1994 issue.

I have heard the clich~ about "freedom of the press," but I think "freedom" is being abused in this non-subscription student newspaper.

Freedom of the press must be balanced by accountability to fee-paying students who have a set of community standards worth maintaining.

It is disappointing that the large number ofUCFV students who would prefer a different editorial direction remain quiet, when they

could become part of the editorial board for "The Cascade." (The editor lamented, in a conversation last week, the fact that more students do not participate in the production of the student newspaper.)

I wonder if students are aware that over $14,000 of their fees will be used this year to produce "The Cascade," and that students are the shareholders.

Students have the freedom to set a different course: collect a mere 50 student signatures, call an extraordinary meeting of the Student Society, and take action to head in different editorial directions.

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the November conference in Vancouver on "Stopping the Violence." However I believe that we all must attend to stopping the increasing amount of violence in our culture, particularly in the media. This belief contributes to my motivation to make these comments about "The Cascade," a publication too often containing material which runs counter to values I hold, and yet carries the name of the place where I work, and is part of the community where I live.

And a final thought: are there no law enforcement officers enrolled as students right nor who might wish to lodge a formal harassment complaint against "The Cascade" for material carried in the November 2 issue?

Now Us SIMPL V SUBLIME

And Now ... Buzz & Skeeter APOLOGIZE!

By Bryan Andrew Let me first say that the reason I am writing this is because I know of the furor that has arisen out of my article addressed to "Man-Hatini: feminists' - or rather~ women.

I would beg you all to read this knowing that I am sincere about what I am now writing, in this explanation and apology of the aforementioned article.

I have heard about what several people have taken out of the article; that I am sexist and an abusive person, but ~. this could not be further from the truth. I do, however, see what the furor is about.

In writing the article, it was never my intention to attack ( 1) feminism, (2) lesbianism, or (3) women in general.

The fact that it came out in this way was never my intention.

Whatl was trying todo was startle sexist women into realizing that man-hating is stupid. Unfortunately, due to my anger, the

shock-value took a drastically wrong turn into the area of offensiveness - severe offensiveness, and for this I must apologize.

It was (to make a big understatement) a massive error

"an action stemming from anger is almost always much more powerful and offensive than it was intended to be. " to write this article out of anger - for as anyone can tell you, an action stemming from anger is almost always much more powerful and offensive than it was intended to be.

Hey, wars have resulted from these situations (Don't worry, I won't be running foroffice any time ever.). The worst part is, it did get written, it did get printed, and yes, I will shoulder all of that blame.

My girlfriend, who has been repeatedly abused throughout her life, (and who is a feminist) has read my article.

She sees that the offense taken by many women is real. She is a 'survivor' (coined by Laura Davis, co-author of The Courage to Heal and author of Allies in Healing) and yet she still forgives me.

Why? Because she knows that I did not intend to slam feminism, women, or lesbianism. For her, this apology is enough. I however, realize that for some of you, it won't be.

Unfortunately, this piece of my conscience is all that lean give you. It will have to be enough.

And since it is possibly the most sincere piece I have ever written, if this doesn't do it, nothing will.

I do realize that the lion's share of abuse - mental, physical and sexual - in this world has been born out of men's anger, insecurities, fears, rage, etc. And trust me when I say that I abhor these actions just as much as you do.

It is almost prohibitive to stay in school long enough to get the education you need to ~ucceed.

Time to start all over again. Would it be better to go to school for those four months of summer? If so pay attention for notices telling you of a way to make your voice heard the way it counts the most "IN NUMBERS".

Don't let the government take away the one thing you need to succeed. SHOUT BACK!!

or Keeper of the Status Quo?

Canadians must decide whether to fund the military or increase humanitarian aid

By Ron Dart Canadians tend to see themselves as a middle power, a state historically concerned with peacekeeping and, at best, a peaceful kingdom.

We need, though, to uncover some of the hidden facts so we can see ourselves more clearly and honestly. The mirror of hard facts holds up to us the real picture of who we are rather than the comfortable but deceptive image of who we imagine ourselves to be.

Canada is the 13th largest military spender in the world; this places us in the top 10% of the more than 180 states around the world.

All of the states who ar-ethe top military spenders in the world belong, explicitly or implicitly, to the 1st world consortium, and they strive to protect 1st world interests against 3rd world resistance and challenge. It is difficult for a person born and bred in an imperial culture to understand how deeply the culture prejudices their perceptions ofinternational politics.

Canada's military budget is larger than the military budget of all the countries of South America combined. Our annual budget (12 million) is more than twice as large as the

"we are hawkish people, determined to protect rank and privilege in a feudal world order where 40,000 children . .. die each day of hunger related causes" entire annual peacekeeping budget of the United Nations.

There are those who argue that we need a military for peacekeeping and defense. But, at the present time, the Department of National Defense (DND) only spends 5.8% of its budget on peacekeeping; in short, peacekeeping is a rather marginal aspect of the Canadian military.

Does Canada need a large military budget for defence?

Canada is not a superpower and we need not spend as if we are amongst the military elite of the world. Canada is not at war, and we are not on the borders of potential or current wars.

Our military is not used to repress Canadian citizens (unlike 73 military controlled states around the world). We need, I suspect, to own up to the fact that we are hawkish people, determined to protect rank and privilege in a feudal world order where 40,000 children (under 6 yrs.) die each day of hunger related causes and, almost 2 billion people live in a state of absolute or relative poverty.

Canada, it can be easily argued, has not adopted a more balanced approach to international security since the end of the Cold War.The DND has not taken its share of budget cuts.

If we chose, as a people, to reroute military finances to humanitarian aid, development and justice issues, our public rhetoric might have more substance. But, given the fact we belong to a powerful 1st world consortium, we are not likely to sacrifice our privilege, for the least of these.

The military, it can be argued, exists to protect 1st world liberty when it collides with the longing of those who are weaker and poorer.

EAR TO THE GROUND

Author is Amused - Readers Beware The thumb is in position; don't make him use it or we ALL might be sorry

By Dallas J. It always amuses me when people take things too seriously, especially the things that I say. As of late, we all have been watching our words very carefully for fear of getting nailed for what could be called "unsavory subject material."

Hey, deserved ostracism or otherwise, we all should watch what we say, but it seems strange to me that people have nothing better to complain about than the fact that I described a scene from a recent movie or created a supplemental character profile list to go with that movie, as a joke.

I was told that I gave away the entire film of Pulp Fiction when I reviewed it in the last paper and that by doing so, I ruined the movie for others. The scene that I briefly described was to justify my praising of the

-

film since I personally cannot promote something without justification. Sorry, that is just me.

The scene is fantastic yet minimal in the frame of the entire film since there are approximately thirty different sup-plots in the work, and it seemed that it would be O.K. to describe it, so what are you complaining about?

Are you surprised that Jules kills a man in the end of the scene? What did you not understand when they were discussing the use of handguns versus shotguns before they went into the building? Did you tl_linkthat they were going in to trade their guns for the loot?

Get a grip. If this spoiled the movie for you, then you probably did not understand the whole film, so go see something else.

As for my list, violent actions result in violent ends for all who abuse power. This is

BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL

evident if you have seen Tarrantino's other films and I was merely playing off of the character types in his movies.

The list is basically an inside joke for those who have seen the movies; as for anyone else, of course it was not funny-you have not seen the films! I do not promote violence, I see it only as a way that certain people get things done and then suffer the consequences.

Besides, if anyone with a brain in their head and a glimmer of rational thought in their mind thought that all of those points led to a good time, then maybe a needle through the chest sounds like a fun weekend for them and the list was a moot point. Get over it.

Everybody knows that this is going nowhere.

O.K.. So I forgot to pay the electric bill and the Blue Light was shut off for a week. Forgive me but I was slightly busy/distracted/ drunk and subsequently my little space was filled up with something other than cheap cheery fun.

So, with the weather being the shits and your warm fuzzies looking increasingly more warm and fuzzy, may I suggest ways of combating the winter blahs suitable for that intimate gathering of you and that special someone or that less than intimate "hey I'm bored and it's raining so come over and hang/pig out with the girls/guys/gang"?

For starters, location is everything with "in" being the theme here. The closest your going to get to the great outdoors is the front door to pay the delivery person. Choose a house with the most comfortable TV. room with lots of cushions and maybe even a fireplace (especially if you are going the one on one route). It must big enough for the whole group and of course contain a TV. Next, you hav~ to focus on your appearance for the event. As mentioned before, warm fuzzies are de rigeurin a case like this but try and tailor the cl9Uiesto what you expect (hope?) to happen. And don't forget the slippers. Remember, comfort is everything.

optional.

Food and entertainment are next on the list. Food probably shouldn't be from any of the four major food groups because then it would be healthy and that is not part of the theme here.

Just a thought - curly fries, Coke, Hagen Daas Chocolate icecream, and extra strong vodka paralyzers are a particularly tasty combination.

Entertainment should reflect the agenda of "slacker" in a lazy boy. Videos fit this bill to the T. The Doors and Rattle and Hum go well with a music theme and of course, anything scary will do.

However, one must never forget the timelessness and always right for any setting movies of Quentin Tarantino. Especially those cozy nights for two.

To keep it cheap, steal from your parents fridge and always split the bill among friends or else they won't be your friends for much longer. I don't advise driving after an "in" evening but I do suggest you tum it into a sleep over. You '11wonder why you never did this before, especially if it's coed.

Deep Thoughts: the Real Meaning of Life conception is that at the moment every person is conceived, the only thing that acknowledges their existence is the chemical process that takes place in the woman's body.

Have you ever really thought about the concept of life In other words, when every individual is conceived, and how one would go about describing it? We define life as their existence is not known by anyone including their parents, the state of being alive, as opposed to being dead. including themselves.

In fact, their existence is not even But what really constitutes being alive? Having a acknowledged by the mother until pregnancy is suspected or heartbeat and oxygen intake? Or maybe it goes beyond that. confirmed.

What about having artificial respiration and heart Regarding my second alternative defining being alive beat, for example, by being hooked up to machines and possibly brain dead? Would you consider that being alive, as when the fetal brain is developed to a certain degree, it is hard to say when the brain would be sufficiently developed. dead, or would it fall into the category of borderline?

Another way we use the word life is to describe the How are we to know if and when the fetus' brain allows it the period during which one is alive. Here, we run into the same acknowledgment of its existence?

It is equally hard to define life as beginning at birth problem: is one alive at the moment of conception, or once the fetal brain is somewhat developed, or at the moment of because obviously there is a lot before that: the process of development, the fetus becoming the infant. birth?

Extremists may even go as far as saying that life begins It is somewhat hard for me to conceive of myself as for one when both the egg and sperm of one's composure being alive at a time during which I have no conscious exist, which would mean the time during which the mother's recollection. Not only that, but during a time in which no one sex cells differentiated (early in her life) and later on, when the has a recollection of my existence. sperm was generated.

But then one could ask whether both Obviously, (or maybe not so obvious) I do not sperm and egg must be in existence or simply the egg, or remember being born and being a baby. The furthest back I sperm. can reniember is when I was about two years old. I have a Another problem with this definition is that only half mental recollection, a single image of a green shag rug in a dim room, louvered saloon swinging doors and the people . the DNA of a human being would be in existence. Each sex cell would only have twenty-three chromosomes, so are we next door owning a big sheep dog.

Upon discussing this with my mother, I have discovered able to call that life?

I will not pursue these theoretical definitions of the that when we lived in Montreal, in 1978, our family room had that awful green shag carpet and saloon swinging doors and beginning oflife any further. What about life itself? There are the people next door owned a big sheep dog. Even though I so many different aspects of life, that describing it could be do not remember beyond that time, I can easily conceive of \ being alive before then. The reason for this is because my , CRIM mother, father, and grandparents were fully aware of my ' existence, since I was born. They can remember me when I can not remember myself.

The problem with defining life as the moment of

By Sarah McAlister

never-ending.

I would like to take a general, somewhat abstract view on life. It is like being on a stage. The curtain on this stage begins all the way down, and when you are conceived no one even knows there is something behind th'? curtain. When the conception is acknowledged, the curtain remains all the way down, but some people know that there is something behind it; although it cannot, in any sense be known.

At birth, the curtain lifts ever so slightly. You can only see a sliver of what's really out there. Whoever and whatever is watching you can only see a sliver of what you really are through the small amount the curtain is raised. Only things such as your sex and physical appearance at that point can be seen.

As your life progresses, the curtain is raised slowly, very slowly. People are still not able to see anything close to all of what you perceive yourself to be, and neither can you fully see any one else.

In fact, there will always be, throughout life, a tremendous restriction. This curtain makes you unable1Q see all and vice-versa, it disables anyone one from seeing all of you. It is only wen you die, during your last drop of life that your curtain is raised all the way up. That is you show. For at that moment you will have seen all you will ever see of being alive. Because that is when being alive, as we vaguely define the concept, is terminated.

The only show we really have is our death. What follows after that remains either to be discovered when we die, by each and every one of us, or never known.

By Pete Hutchinson Another Thursday, Another piss-up. Holy fuck. Call me an Alchy, I don't care it feels good!! If I had my way everyone would feel like this all the time. Buzzed to the point where the Id talks and reality floats in every direction opposite to where you are going.

Reality, where is it, what is it? Am I a realist? Why the hell should I take Philosophy class when I have beer. Fuck I should have my own philosophy class called "Philosophy 469, Pete's Philosophy"tuition 1 6-packofbeer a class. If you don't become a philosopher you become an alcoholic. Either way you get an "A".

Call me what you want, fuck I don't care. The people that matter know what I am really like, all the others can fuck themselves.

As I said to my roomy "Every minute you live is a minute you come closer to dying." So why live an existence of shit ass expectations of others? As the song says "who is fucking with my head?"

It must be those comic ass fuckers called patriots.

Their not Canadian though, Canadians are too cool for that shit, it is those bastards south of us who believe in an American Dream. Give it up, that went the way of Ben

Johnson's gold medal, right up the ass. If you believe that money is the answer to lifetime happiness, give your head a shake after you pull it out of your ass. Money Sucks!! It buys me beer and that is all it has to do! Although I know happiness ain't in the bottom of a beer bottle all the other things that bring me happiness are free and they are all inside of me.No one can give them to me. I don't take them either, I earn them.

The song sings "I ain't going to work for no soul sucking jerk."

I guess if you find happiness hoarding cash fine, then fuck you, but now take a step back and look around. I know I'll be stinking rich if I want to, but I find true happiness in being happy, stress ain't happy. Battling rush hour ain't happy. Paying revenue Canada thousands ain-'t happy.

O.K. money is a necessity, but it ain't the end all and be all. If you need cash to do something you enjoy, get it and do it. Don't think of 65 and a gold casket, because lightning strikes and a bus may jump a curb.

In the end I do not know, I just do not know.

Party on, be happy, don't praise at the alter of paper, live your life to the extent it was meant to be.

Write a book, solve a research problem, have a family of 9. Do what you want, just be happy.

Smile for fuck sake, or I will beat it into you.

More Trade or More Care?

Canada visits nations with horrendous and brutal humanity records

By Ron Dart Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the Humana Report and many other major human rights organizations, in their annual reports, have consistently ranked China and Indonesia as some of the worst states in the world when it comes to respecting and protecting civil and political rights.

It is somewhat ironic yet predictable that Canada, a state that prides itself on peacekeeping and upholding fundamental human rights, would travel to Asia, on its largest every trading mission, to court and further woo China and Indonesia on lucrative trade relations. Our Prime Minister and his dutiful acolytes have persistently ignored requests to meet with Amnesty International; none of the business executives or the delegation have sought information on

these brutal and violent states they are visiting.

When opportunities for expanded trade by our elected representatives and their business cohorts eclipse and ignore respect for human rights, we are, tragically, sacrificing, literally, thousands of lives to the Moloch of economic profit.

Sadder still, is the way many Canadians remain silent and docile while our leaders anesthetize their political conscience for a few extra coppers to fill their gilded coffers.

It is hypocritical of us, as a people, to criticize human rights violations in small states such as Cuba, Haiti, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Nicaragua while ignoring the more monstrous evils of China and Indonesia. When will we rouse ourselves from our insulated affluence and intellectual duplicity and ask ourselves hard questions about the meaning of consistent and equitable justice?
