Goldman, who is a third year Criminology student, said that there is not enough safety patrols to cover all the areaswhere students park, but also realizes that its unrealistic to have someone everywhere.

Barry Bompas, Director of Personnel and Head of . the Safety Walkers, acknowledges the fact that patrolling should be increased, but emphasized that it is not the job of the Safety Walkers.

"The Safety Walkers only escort people to their cars and are a visible presence in the parking lots," Bompas said. "They don't patrol, there .is.no necessity to have them

New Constitution Non-Issue for Students

By Bryan Sikora Hoping to involve the student body in the reconstruction of the Constitution, Student Society member Clare Goldman convened two meetings to discuss the ''new vision".

One meeting, at the Abbotsford campus on November 22, drew a total of 8 students - 4 of which were from the Student Society. The second meeting, held at the Chilliwack campus on November 24, had 9 students in attendance.

"I was very, verydisappointedin the attendance," Goldman said after the Abbotsford meeting. "It was well advertised,but I don't think that people·care. They are just not interested."

Yet students are interested in building and ,. establishingaStudentUnionBuilding(S.U.B.)atUCFV. A S.U.B. was one of many recommendationsput forth by students who attended'theOctober 26 Renewingand ReviewingWorkshop. lttroublesGoldmanthatstudentsarenotinterested in the mechanisms that will bring about a S.U.B. '"Ibis is seemingly boring stuff - the students don't wantto hear about it, but they'lljumpata building," said Goldman. "How can I present a proposal to the administrationas a representative of students if they're not willing to help build the groundworlc,and show support."

Acknowledging the fact that there is no central locationfor students to meet and find out what exactly is goingon withtheir government,Goldmanurges students to attend the next Constitution meeting, which will be held in January 1995.

As far as aS.U.B. and the Constitution,Goldman says "We can't have one without the other, but we need one to accomplish the other."

Does going to class in your bathrobe appeal to you? UCFV will be offering three courses "online" next semester.

You can work at home, on your own time, using your computer and modem. For more information call Patrick O'Brien at 853-7441 or 792-0025, local 4382, or Email obrien@ucfv.bc.ca.

Phone: 854-6188 or 852-6784

UCFV Press Release .

Does the idea of going to class in your bathrobe appeal to you? How about doing your schoolwork on your own time_, instead of rushing to lectures?

If your day-to-day life gets in the way of taking conventional courses and you're comfortable with a computer, the University College of the Fraser Valley's new online courses may be for you.

UCFV will offer three courses on computer this January as a pilot project funded by the provincial government's Skills Now initiative. Registration for the courses started November 21.

The courses to be offered in the pilot are Communications 225 (Advanced Business Communications), to be taught

by Wendy Burton; Computer Information Systems 360 (Information Systems in Organizationsand Society), to be taught by Patrick O'Brien; and Math 104 (Introductory Statistics), to be taught by Barry Garner.

"We want to lessen the need for

stude~ts and th~ i~tructor to commute to one site at one time m order to successfully offer a course," says O'Brien, who is coordinating the project. "Students will be able to upload and download their course materialand assignmentsby makinga threeminute phone call several times a week.

We'll still rely very much on textbooks and printed material as resources, but the discussion will take place via computer."

Students in the online courses will choose when to read the comments of the instructor and other students and when to respond - they won't be tied down by a schedule. Of course, there will still be deadlines for assignments. ''These courses are aimed at 'new majority' students - those with worlcand family responsibilities," says O'Brien. "It will be very time-flexible. If they want to do their work at midnight or on a Saturday morning, it's waiting for them."

For more information about the online courses, call Patric~ O'Brien at 8537441, local 4382, or e-mail him at Obrien@ucfv.be.ca.

L.R.C.·to S.U.C. at U.C.FN. t:

By D. -A. Colby Poetry readings? Cappuccino bar?

Video Games?

These are just a few of the suggestions made by members of the West CampusCouncil for activitiesin a proposed Student Union Centre.

Member-at-Large Clare Goldman envisions a "centre of cultural, intellectual and academic exchange," where UCFV students could meet and relax.

Goldmandevisedthe ideaalongwith Criminology student Adam Bodnar, add the idea was included in West Campus Chair Clarenc.e Giesbrecht's Society meeting notes.

She.seestheS.U.C.asan "accessible place", where clubs, groups, The Cascade, and the Student Society would all be under one roof.

Of course, as with most things at UCFV (where growing pains never seem to abate), thereisahitch. WherewouldS.U.C. be placed?

Simple, says Goldman, "we'llput it in the old L.R.C., when it moves into the new L.R.C. this Spring." · "It's already slated to hold offices, but a S.U.C. is of great importance. Look at U.B.C., S.F.U., B.C.I.T." To gain support for the S.U.C. Goldman plans to rally the student body to push the project ahead.

"I'd like to see it done by the end of the summer ('95),'' says Goldman, "and with enough student support, it could become a reality."

Other uses fortheS.U. Centre would be Pub nights, bulletin boards, study tables, filld meeting rooms.

UCFV Safe Walk Program Demystified Dean of Personnel Barry Bompas discusses the actual roles of the student Safety Patrol.

By Kara Dahl The SAFE WALK PROGRAM was put into effect in September of the 1994195 school year.

Its purpose is to provide a safe environment for women and men who are on the· campus during evening classes.

The Safety Pattol people are equipped with radios and jackets that make it obvious that they are part of the program. They can be seen in pairs, in the parking lots, in the hallways and at the entrances of the school.

If you haven't already been escorted by them out to your car, and would like to, all you have to do is ask one or call 855-9176 (Abbotsford) or 793-8176 (Chilliwack) to either pre-arrange a time to meet and request an immediate one.

The program is new and it seems to be working.

But with every program there are flaws, and when 3035 students are hired, there are some who are bound not to give 100 % • Either they don't understand their duties or just simply don't care enough to make any effort.

There has been some misunderstanding around campus about the SAFE WALK PROGRAM and its purpose.

In a recent interview with Barry Bompas, Dean of Personnel, he defined what role the Safety Patrol person plays. "fhere are two roles the patrollers have to play.

One, is to walk a person to their car if they were asked or called to do so," Bompas explained. ''The second is to observe the campus, inside and out, and·report any problems to the commissionaires." ·Bompas made it very clear that the role of a Safety Patrol person is to ensure a safe walk to one's car;

Finnegan~

not to deal directly with security problems.

It is asked that the employees of safety patrol walk through the building at least 3 or 4 times in an evening to make it obvious and clear to people that they are there.if $Omeone needs a hand and to be out front of the school when classes end so that they are there when people walk outside.

It is only a SAFE WALK PROGRAM that these students are a part of. They are not trained security and they cannot deal with any "the college can not problems themselves.

defeats the purpose; it creates not only 1 target for an attacker, but~ targets. · But by having women on the patrol puts other women who would like an escort at ease when they ask for one because they don't have to walk with a male patroller. That is why you see them in pairs, one male and one female. It is just a further step taken by the college to make sure that the students are comfortable, and safe.

afford to have 3035 professional security people, and that the college student program seems to be serving the main purpose quite efficiently."

Bompas states that the duty of "a Safety Patrol person is to radio a member of the Commissionaires (who is trained security) and walk away" if there is a problem, such as vandalism or fighting in the parking lots.

A Commissionaire, who is on campus all day and most of the evening, will then take measures to deal with the situation.

As to why there are students, rather than trained . security people, in such a position, Bompas stated that ''the college can not afford to have 30-35 professional security people, and that the college student program seems to be serving the main purpose quite efficiently."

The SAFE WALK PROGRAM is offered as a benefit to those who do not feel safe walking to their car by themselves. There were comm.ents by some students sta!ing that maybe having women on the safety patrol

Billiards

Ona whole, the Safety Pattol received nothing but good reviews. Students and faculty members seemed to be in agreement that the patrollers are out there and that they are doing their job.

This is the first semester that such a program has been run. According to Bompas the semester has gone quite well with more of a misunderstanding of job duties than anything.

On December 5th there will be a meeting of all safety workers to discuss and go over any problems or changes that they think need to be looked at. They will discuss how successful the semester was and will review what worked, and what didn't.

If you have any suggestions or changes that you would like to see in the next semester, send them to The Cascade, or drop them off at the administration office.

If you would like to be a Safety Patrol person yourself, leave your name and phone number at any UCFV reception desk.

Sports Cascades Open Season with Two Wins

A7

Sue Parke and Brandee Fort key in victories over Langara and Douglas.

By Bryan Sikora Blasting off in the first week of the B.C. College's Athletic Association basketball league, the UCFV Cascades have achieved a 2-0 record.

Opening with a 85-49 win over the Langara College Falcons in Vancouver, the Cascades began their hunt for the B.C. Championship on the right side of the scoreboard.

Leading the Cascades were Sue Parke, 19 points, and Denise Rehman, with 14 points. Parke also led the team with .14 rebounds.

Despite a weak Langara team, Head Coach of the Cascades Sandy Chambers was pleased with the victory, being the first.game of the season.

Chambers was concerned, though, 'With the ability of the team to remain focused.

"It was hard to keep our intensity up against "Fort decided to another team that's not as strong," she said. "The first half of the game was played well. But we were take control and fighting to keep it together in the second." that changed the .

Taking on the Douglas College Royals the game, turning it in following night (Nov. 19) at the Clearbrook Community Centre, the Cascades had to battle for our favour." their 62-50 victory.

With less· than 5 minutes remaining, UCFV -UCFVCoach broke the game open when Nicole Schubert and Sandy Chambers Carol Vinson scored consecutively. From that point on, UCFV stepped up their play and did not look back, going on to record their second win of the season.

Chipping in the game-high 20 points was UCFV' s Sue Parlee, while Brandee Fort contributed 10 points. Vinson had 7 helpers and pulled down 7 boards.

"Parke had an awesome game! She was all over: diving for balls, on the inside, on the outside." Coach Sandy Chambers said.

The first half was a different story, as both teams started play as if it were a pickup game at the local gym. Rushed plays and forced passing by both teams resulted in poor execution around the hoop during the majority of the first. half. As the game proceeded, the players settled down, and began to play college ball.

The second half opened with UCFV leading 31-30, and a new strategy for the Castades. ' "We switched to a 2-3 zone defence in the second half. It changed their [Douglas] tempo, shutting down their offense," Chambers said.

Shut down Douglas' offense it did, as the Cascades outscored them 31-20 in the second. Frustration could clearly be seen as Douglas' coaches and bench complained loudly about various non-calls by the officials late in the second.

"I'm happy to beat them by 12. There was great intensity shown by everyone, but there were too many turnovers."

Brandee Fort had a tremendous game, and Chambers credits her for the second half improvement. "f ~rt was apprehensive about playing with an hyper-extended elbow. She was really timid in the first, but played really well in the second. Fort decided to take conttol

Foul Call Fouls· Cascades Injuries still nagging Cascades, who open the 1994/95 season going O-2

By Bryan Sikora

Under the watchful eye of a Dougals defender, Sean Colina takes the ball upcourt in the Cascades 82-76 loss tothe Royals. Colina ended the game with 13 points, while the Cascade.team has yet to put a mark under the win column in its first two league garftes.

Mark one up for the officials.

With 24 seconds remaining on the clock, a controversial out-of-bounds call gave ball possession to the Douglas College Royals, who went on to win 82-76, Saturday evening against the UCFV Cascades.

Trailing only by two, Cascade forward Sean Colina was called for intentional shooting the ball out-of-bounds, allowing the Royals to gain possession, and score two consecutive baskets.

"It was a crucial time for that call, but it didn't break the game for us." Cascade Coach Mike McNeill said.

Chris Spence ended the game with 18 points, followed by Sean Colina with 13. For the Royals, fourth year veteran Chad Caldwell lead all scorers with 20 points. · In a physical first half that featured some great fast breaks, foul trouble and defensive breakdowns which enabled Douglas to end the firsthalfleading the Cascades by 6.

The Cascades regrouped in the second, and came out fighting. Tying the game early, it was a see-saw battle until lack of discipline by the Cascades permitted the Royals to edge ahead, and finally take the lead to the final whistle. · Coach McNeill was.,happy with the play of the Cascades, although we can expect to see an improvement in the team as injuries heal.

"They worked hard. I saw some good things out there tonight. We read them better, but we' re still not executing well. We've been hurt, but tonight was a great effort."

Expect to see the Cascades in top game condition with a full roster near Christmas.

In previous league action, the Cascades lost to the Langara College Falcons 74-53 on Nov. 18.

Next home game for both the Men and Women Cascades is December 2 against the UniversityCollegeoftheCaribou Sun Demons (Kami oops). Opening tip-off is at 6pm at the Clearbrook Community Centre.

FuimosTras La Vida, Fuimos Sirae La Paz - We struggle

for life, we struggle

for peace.

■ By Melanie Glaim This phrase was among many that were chanted outside of the Guatemalan Consulate in Vancouver_onThursday November 17, 1994.

Just over 50 people gathered for a vigil voicing the incident of November 10th in Guatemala City, Guatemala: 8 people are dead (2 are university students), 78 people are injured (23 from gun wounds), and "approximately" 90 are being detained. All this due to an increase in bus fares.

People were killed and injured by the police and bus companies. Protesters, rioting bus riders, bystanders and even police were among the victims.

The main protest was at the University of San Carlos, where protesting students were attacked by armed gunmen using tear gas, on behalf of the bus line companies. The institution has been autonomous for 15 years, and this has been the first illegal violation to date.

There was also a demonstration by members of the Union Federation of Food ands Allied W o.r k er s u I.TA·I FESTRAS) I protesting I the abuse of I a street child bythepolice.

Ed itoria I~~~~~~~~~~~ Safety Walker Not a Small Responsibility

If you area student at The University park their car in the cafeteria.

There has been some complaints College of the Fraser Valley, and you are and rumors going about campus that wondering how to get that seemingly great job of patrolling the cafeteria and the people on Safety Patrol are not the halls during evening classes, all you knights with shining flashlights we once have to do is stand in a really long line thought they were. up. We all seem to want that job! .

You will see them (maybe) as you It seems so easy doesn't it? leave your night class, but whether or not they are in the Carrying your very lounge or on the own flashlight and "A Safety Walker is responsible for front steps waiting walkie-talkie, the safety of others, therefore must to be of help, an wearing a Safety be willing and able to take that depends on who is Patrol vest, sitting responsibility on. Those who don't working that night. in the Great Hall and will soon enough be weeded out of This is a getting paid for it. the system." · Of course, if problem. There are those people who are dedicated and we all went to Barry Bompas (Dean of professional and take their job seriously, Personnel) and gave him this job but then there are those who lack the description, he would remind us that if we want to have our flashlight and Safety professionalism that is needed for such Patrol vest too, we would have to do an a job.

People who deal with the public entirely different job than the one we must realize that there are eyes have seen a few others doing. everywhere.

When someone sees We would have to escort people · out to their cars and make our presence something that isn't acceptable to theril, or to the role of·a safety patrol member, known in and around the campus parking there are bound to be complaints made. lots.

Students at UCFV take their safety We would generally have to be seriously and it is a great pleasure to outside, considering no one has yet to

know that if the need be, there is a member of the Safety Walkers available to walk you to your car~ Bob Davies, who is a member of the Safety Patrol and a student at UCFV, emphasized that it is simply the attitude that one takes into a job that shows how successful one will be at that job.

A Safety Walker needs a confident, yet positive attitude. A Safety Walker is responsible for the safety of others, therefore must be willing and able to take that responsibility on. Those who don't will soon enough be weeded out of the system.

If you, too, have been noticing that the Safety Walkers are not doing their public duty, write The Cascade a letter and let us know.

Or, if you think that Safe Walk program is great, or a particular Safety Walker has done or is doing a great job, tell us about it.

This is a service for the whole student body, notjustthosewho needed an extra night job.

Only a few can ruin the reputation of the Safety Patrol, but it only takes a few vocal people to fix it.

West Chair's Messa£e East Chair's Message The first semester is almost over, and in a summary to date we have seen our up and down points.

However, despite all of the commotion that has been going on in the first four months we have yet to solve the oldest question at FVC / UCFV, and that is, ''What can we, your student government, do to stimulate interest in such things as activities or, . the current con.,titutional debates?"

Am I correct in assuming that the average student at UCFV attends class, buys a Coke, goes home, and simply forgets about school? I would hope that there is at least one student not affiliated with either the student society or the Cascade that has legitimate concern with issues regarding students.. Note that SASS is excluded from this dermition of a concerned student(s) due to their lack of objectivity.

On both campuses you can find our office hours either outside the actual office (Abby local 4613 Chwk· 2825) or through the Cascade (local 4529). Myself, I've heard enough interest on both campuses by students regarding student issues.

This is a good start, at least I know that there is some interest out there, the next step is to get you out to attend a meeting / event.

Just to give you a few ideas to think about, what should be in your constitution? Would you like to see a Student Union Building, if so where?

What will it take to attract and keep a strong student government?

If you have questions, comments etc ••.about these, for example, or any other matter, do stop by. There is no sense complaining about what we do or don't do if you don't participate.

Just to throw a cliche at you borrowed from a good friend ''If yo,. are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.''

The fight with Email continues When I joined the Student Society, a couple of people told me about this new fangled tl1ing on the computer (called Email) that I could use to get mail and stuff. Cool. I thought I'd learn how to use it and then I, too, could be connected with the cosmos.

How hard could it be? It's only a computer tl1ing,right? Wrong. I dragged Graydon Mah (the Computer Services guy) into our office at least ten times so he could explain to me what I was doing wrong. As my official fight back against Email, and computer anxiety in general, I'm going to draw, BY HAND, my daily encounter with Email. (Besides, who wants to read some boring message?)

Letters to Ed. Student Union Building a Waste of Taxpayer's Dollars Dear Ed.:

Our unesteemed new West Campus Chairman has, as a way to show us all how many muscles he can flex, come up with a wonderful new idea: turn the library, once it moves, into a StudentUnion Centre,or "SUC" hole. . Well, let me.say, IBIS IDEA SUCKS! We all know that a student union building or centre means, in not so many words: a pub.

It's bad enough that the student union has to crab and complain constantlyaboutstuffnobodyelse even cares about, and then call the entire student body apatheticwhen it doesn't respond to the call to arms, and then be so fraught with tensions that the West

Campus Chairwoman has to resign for reasons no one outside the union ·· understands, but this is gong (sic) way too far!

By puttinga pub in the former library, just outside the entrance to UCFV, the first thing anyone sees entering,includinga supervisorfrom the Ministryof AdvancedEducation, is a place ·for the consumption of alcohol! Pubs and pool tables and lounges and dart boards and video game machines- this is where the West Campus Chair wants to put people's' tax dollars and students' tuition fees!

For those students who don't enjoy walkingto Finnegan'sfor lunch andafterclassdrinks, tough.I' diather see tax and tuitiondollars go to more

classes and classrooms, higher fees for instructors, and more offices for instructorsthan_havepeople vomitting in the bathroom.

And, whilel'matit,anentirely seperate student union building is just the same thing as the library proposal, only bigger and stupider.

Bigger, because it would cost millions to build.

Stupider, because the Abbotsford campus has extremely limitedproperty, and future classroom buildings are vastly more important than a pub and lounge for those few students who like wasting time in the drink, but don't like walkingdown the block to the bar.

Open-tninded discussion bet-ween differing spiritual beliefs a must Dear Ed.:

In response to Christopher Klassen' s letter to the editorandVincentChand's"TheMissingLinc"datedNov. 2...

First of all, I would like to suggest that,all students take Philosophy 100, or basic-critical thinking.

I think we as students would be better off if we were

able to discuss topics using the same basic fundamental reasoningtechniques.Much ignorancecouldbe transformed to productive discussion.

Mr. Klassen has missed the point of my arguement I was merely stating that there was something wrong with society when killing is justifiable because it falls under the . heading of ''religioous warfare".

Hindus and Sikhs, Protestants and Catholics, the killing continues because of differences in fundamental 1 beliefs.

I have not attended a Christian Club meeting, but I ·am in favour of open-minded discussion. I am constantly looking for intellectual discussion, especially regarding religion, and perhaps the Christian Club would like to facilitate such a discussion for people of varying spiritual

beliefs.

I'd like to reiterate my previous comments for Mr. Chand.I suggestedthat we shouldall be open-mindedto the world's diverse spiritual beliefs.

I think you are missing the point when you suggest that the.politicalregimes of Stalin, Hitler.and Hussein fall in the category of spiritual theories.

Furthermore, I personally believe that no one can justify saying others' opinions are wrong and your own are are absolutely correct We are free to believe in Communism, Fascism, Atheism, Protestantism or anything else we please.

Actions are what we may be weary of, especially when it involves murder like the regimes of th~ previously mentioned dictators.

But we connot stop and we should not stop people from believing what they desire. · And this is where we will always di!\agree,because many strongly religious people believe thatI their own religion is the religion and their religious God :is the God, and that this world would be much better qff if everyone were a believer of their religion. · ,Nolan Webb

Are YOU willing to take responsibilty,_· Mr. Webb?

Dear Ed.: Reading the responses to the October 5 Buzz and Skeeter column, I came across another interesting issue under "Still can't rewrite history".

Since other writers, notably Jean BallardKent and Cheryl St. Denis have replied so ably to the first topic, I will take a stab at responding to the second.

My reason for being prompted to respond is that I am myself a Christian. Now that fact does not require my converting others, orsupplyingmiracles, or labelling others as "sinners" ,or condoning those who use their religious affiliation as a springboard to politics. But it does require me to be aware of what is going on around me.

And although lam glad Nolan Webb is of the opinion that ''we should be responsible for our actions", I would hope he he does not limit this to Christians.

If he is serious about Christians being responsible for the past actions of other Christians, may I ask whether he, being a Canadian, is willing to bear the responsibility of past generations of Canadians? ff he is, perhaps he would like to start with the massive federal debt. At $20,000 per head, there are a number of newborns who may wish to have a few words with Mr. Webb.

Then there is our abysmal record when it ,comes .to our environment. We create garbage as though there is no tomorrow •· by our actions virtually guaranteeing the same.

And even though we know that motor vehicle accidents cause more death, more personal, and more property damage than any other crime, we as Canadians are willing to swallow the drivel that cars are indispensible.

We conveniently fail to educate school children that General Motors, Mack Truck and several other companies bought out and retired the transportation systems of major U.S. cities in the 1930s 40s ( from H YouLoveThisPlanet).

As a citizen of our fine North American continent, is Mr. Webb intersted in taking i:esponsibility? I hope so. It's his air.that continues to be adversely affected.

So what's my point anyway ?·I guess it's not too far from the point I see generated by the dialogue in the Buzz and Skeeter issue.

H the powers-that-be can foster differences - whether that be sex, sexual orientation, race, religion, language, or ethnic origin - they keep our attention averted from their own individual shenanigans.

How about we truly take some responsibility for the actions of our so- called leaders ? Although it's great to have someone else doing both driving and navigating, one has to very sure of that other person.

For decades Canadians have been asleep in the passenger seat while our supposed leaders have driven us far of course.

While they continue to dole out ihe dough, invariably skimming lots of gravy for themselves, we continue to fight among ourselves.

It's well past time for change. Trust me, we will be held responsible.

En te rta in me nt ~~~~~~~ EAR TO THE GROUND

'

Pure Cult is Pure Rock and Roll If the concept of rock 'n' roll has slipped your memory, grab The Cult's newest release

By Dallas J. Minister of Multi-Media Sex, Drugs, and Violence Haveyou all got it out of your systems? Have all you cookie cutter people out there allowed your brains to stop rattling around in your lonely and vacant heads? Are you scared that I will write another list?

Well, fear no more because I have decided that I want to be called (ahem) 'The Minister of Multi-Media Sex,Drugs, and Violence" and that way, if the title bothers' YOIJ,you do not have to read my column. Deal with it Also, one of our wonderful ''major" papers of the Fraser Valley has decided to start publishing a column about music, concerts, and culture called (wait for it) "Ear to The Ground!" Excuse me? Have I been here longer, writing under that very moniler, just to have some other Chombattacomerollinginandmunchonmygreenpastures?

I think not Their selling point is that she is in her twenties.

Big deal. Same here. Expect a formal complaint.Gato.

Enoughof that. let us get down to the dirt.the roots, and at last. the seed of this dispatch - (no, not hatred, addiction, and the occasional hand-jive) - music.

It seems to me that many of us have forgotten how to rock and roll. We all know how to grunge,mosh, bogue, slam, jump, slide, and bump, but we have lost sight of the wonderfulmirage called rock and roll.

Yourememberrock androll,do younot? Remember that gripping and simultaneous head-heart-crotch combinationthatmade you flail aroundlikean idiot and not care? No? Here is your chance to feel like a goof again, for the first time! The Cult have released their sixth full-leflgth album(notincludingtheirhits package,PureCult(Beggars Banquet)and have experienced a rebirth.

Simply entitled The Cult (Beggars Banquet), the album is everything that rock and roll should be, with the

band finally reaching the potential that it always had lying within the core members, Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy.

The Cult have always been enigmatic innovators that never seemed to receive the credit for their ingenuity.

Leading the artsy-punkmovement into the acid-flashback phase, through the junk and blues rock stage, and landing · on the stadiumrock level, the band seemed to have run the

"Leading the artsy-punk movement into the acid-fla,shback phase, through the junk and blues rock stage, and hlnding on the stadium rock levet the band seemed to have run the edge into the mainstream" edge into the mainstreamand, consequently,left itself with nowhere to go.

What to do? The answer was to shave their heads, go back to Vancouver,team up with Bob Rock again, and shine with something new. ·· The new album d~s indeed shine with an intensity that overpowers their previous works due partially to its unexpectednature. There is a very raw quality to the sound of guitars combined with Astbury's voice (which is not merely a vocal, it is now an instrument)that is and has been The Cult's trademarkfor years. The new rhythm section is their best ever and the band has now embraced technology by allowing swirling over-dubs and even (dare I say it) techno. Do not be frightened - the new found love of computers does not dominate but instead, it broadens the band's potential and horizons.

Openingup the album is "Gone,"boasting "So your anger didn't carry you too far / What do you expect

anyway," as it lulls you with grums and piano and kicks your teeth in with a savage guitar riff.

As Astbury has found his new spiritually,he slams his past and others who continue to live by drugs and denial but offers hope with, "I later understoodabout my attitudes I I never thought I'd get that gone." The music swells and crashes as we experience the transformation from the old into the new.

Static guitar scaleslead into "Coming Down (Drug Tongue)," a tale of realization and fear as Astbury despairs inside amuse and a funkybass-line. The desire to disappear inside anotherwhile knowingthat you wouldnot survive is evident in the seductivechorus of "You baptize me/I don't wannadrown." Texturedguitarsand soundeffectscombine to make this song their best single since "She Sells Sanctuary."

The Cult is one of the best albums of this year due to more than the depth of the music, but also the depth of the subjectsthat it covers. "Black Sun" questionsthe end to the I cycle of violence caused by child abuse, while "Sacred Life" concernsitselfwith the destructionof idols, the purity of life, and what it is that keeps the rages of despair away.

Astbury manages to pull off these songs with both lyrical and vocal conviction that few bands could conceive and fewer still could match.

But for out and out rock and roll insanity, songs like "Be free" and "Star" cannot be duplicated. Both of which are the reason that you would buy The Cult's albums in the first place, but it is the latter that sports a fabulous techno bridge ending with an explosiop that is now one of my favorite moments in the history of singles.

When Astburyhollers, "I believe in liberation,"it is an invitationfor all of his paganbrothers and sisters to come together? However you want to swing it, it is an invitation to get down, to swagger, and yes, to rock and roll. I will expect to see you there.

Word.search? Sheer Crap!

By Nolan Webb

A review?

A few thoughts on. ..

Last Issues Word Search: The last time I remember actually completing a word search I think I was around the age of seven and even then it was a tremendouswaste of time. Now I see that The Cascadeis wastingprecious space and editingcolumns for length, while at the same time printing a damned word search.

Moreover, what lower primate, who calls themself a University student. spent time creating this? Sheer Crap!

"Old Man on the Comer" A great first effort from another Fraser Valley band. The album is well recorded, as the sound is tight and the band itself is well focused. They show great influence from the latest wave of basic, straight-forward rock successes like CollectiveSoulandCandlebox. The vocals veer towards a Black Crows influence and the best track is easily 'Thinking about Her."

WAY,

Here's Some more Reviews: WINGNUTS(Strange Bird):This Cd starts with a great little blues influenced ditty entitled "AOL". The rest of the Cd is what I would class as acoustic rock. Although manybandslackoriginality,theseguysdon't.

They'regreat musiciansand every song has somethingto offer. Althoughthe music is a bit mellow, the tempo picks upin some of the songs. I really enjoyedit. If you're ilito the music (soft rock) you'll enjoy these guys.

TREBLE CHARGER (NC17): There's been quite a buzz about this band and I've consistentlyseenit mentionedinmanymusic publicationsso I thoughtI'd give it a-listen.

AlthoughI can saythatthis Cd soundsgood, there's not much to distinguishit from other bands of the like. They sound like many other Ontario bands, such as Hhead. _ I'm really just sick of all the hype abouteasternbands,itjust seemsthat all the bands that are the rage of the moment in the industry sound the same and are just really boring. A great exampleis all those crappy Atlantic bands iike Sloan and all of their buddiesfromHalifaxorwhateverbolethey're from. Theyseem-tobe sellinglots of records and they all soundthe same. They might as well be the same band, save all of us a lotof noise pollution. So I'd describe TREBLE CHARGERwiththecatchallphraseCollage alternative rock. It bored.me, I coulch1't listen to one whole song.

Now Us In Search of True Beauty

By Danielle Sohn One of the most serious problems of mine is gaining we~ht. I don't know why.

Every night before I go to sleep, I look in the mfrror and grab the flesh ofmy face. I feel terrible.

Again I gained some we~ht in recent days. In spite of myself, some miserable sounds come out my throat, ''Woo •••" For a long time now I have been wondering why it is so easy for me to be fat. Inmy opinion, there are three reasons.

First, I am too lazy. My behavior is always one step slower than normal people. I an always late for class and do my homework on the morning it's due •.

Second, I eat too much without thinking of the results. Sometimes I don't feel full until the dishes are empty. To be honest, almost every day I do my homework in the cafeteria. I like sugary cookies, cream, candy, and deep, deep chocolate bars. I know it will help me to become like "Roseanne" when I eat those.

Buttheappetiteismuchstrongerthanmy patience.

Finally, I don't exercise. As it gets colder,Idon'twanttogooutsidetorunor even walk. I spend most of my time in my small, choky room, sitting in my chair, or just lying in bed. I really need some more active-movement. · Froman opposite viewpoint, I have

wondered why I need to worry about it, and why I want to be thin. Of course, it is not good to be skinny for health reasons.

But the. uiain reason is because of ·" men ••Do you wonder people, specifically why women use make-up and have such a greedy concern for their beauty? I think it's because women want to attract men's gaze.

If a woman wears. a very tight mini-skirt, all men's eyes turn towards her. She will probably enjoy that.

What the hell is a man? It's not fair. In the same way, men also want to have a good-looking body because of women. But women are a lot more serious and conscious about it.

I am very nervous about getting fat. I don't olivea··boyfriend, though.

That lllt?anslam thinking about men who can watch me somewhere. I hate that feeling, but it is true. I weigh 2 kg more now than two weeks i.go. · Actually, when I came upon some : Korean guys, they said to me, ''Man, your face is swollen. What's going on? Wow. Look at Danielle's thigh. It is fatter than mine."

Can you imagine my feelings at that time? I am not mature enough to ignore their jokes.

I respect the kind of woman who is able to ignore that vanity and concentrate on only her own matters. That woman is a really beautiful person.

I believe that most beautiful woman

who attracts people has a deep mind and a good attitude. If she has a beautiful nature, it will appear in her face, her looks.

I want to be that kind of woman.

To be like that, I have to make an effort, be diligent, be patient, and exercise. it sounds hard, but I will do it.

Maybe, someday, women and men will realize what true beauty is.

"Thanks, Canada

II

I am Sinisha, an ESL student at UCFV. My wife, two daughters, ages 11 and 3, and I camefromYugoslaviaonMay31,1994. My familyand I are one of many people who are thankful to Canada and Canadiansat this time.

In much of the world today there is strife, war, famine, disease, lies, and bad people where the rule is ''might is right". Itis very hard to find a country which is free of all these problems.

Along time ago,you did not need to look to other borders.Since1867,manypeoplehavecometoCanada.

It had to be someth_inggood_which drew all of those peopletochooseCanada: peace,space,equal opportunity for a new beginning (or all people, no discrimination, religiousfreedom,and so on. One sheet of paper is not enougf!to express all the good things about Canada.

Aboveall,Canadais one of thegreatestcountries in the world. My family and I are discoveringthis fact each day. We have lived in Canada for five months now,and we are enjoyingeach new day. Canadaseems to follow the second part of a Chinese proverb, "If you giveone fish to a hungryman, you feedhim for one day, but if you teach him to fish, you feed him all his life."

Before we came to Canada, someone told me that Canada was a very cold place because it's so far north. I answered, "Why should almost thirty million people choose to live there?"

My first impression on arrival was, "Oh, my God, how could youhave so many wonderfulpeople in one place." Canadais like a big oasis in the desert. All people seem so kind and there is so much energy and warmth.

At this time I would like to take this opportunity to expressmy deepestgratitudeto Canada,to Canadians for all things they have done for my family and me and to UCFV for being able to take English courses here.

''She w-asgoing -to be an Engineer''

By Jean Ballard-Kent On Dec. 6, we commemorate the lives of fourteen engineering students who were murdered at L'Ecole Polytechniquein 1989.

These women were murdered because one man beleived feminist women, such as those enrolled in. engineering, had ruined his life.. Perhaps they were also murderedbecause the killerhad grownup in a society were . violenceagainstwomen is an everyday,and often accepted, occurrence.

It is for this reason that we use December 6th to remember all women who are victimsof violence- those who aresurvivors and those who are not.

Research shows that one in six Canadian women is batteredby the man with whom she lives;in each of the past five years, approximatelyone hundred Canadian women have died of domestic violence. One women in three will be sexually assaulted during her life; in fact, a' woman is rapedin Canada every 17minutes.

Most of the violence the women have experienced is violenceby males;an actof male violenceagainstwomen occurs every 6 minutes in Canada and half are in broad daylight. Last year alone, over one million Canadian women were victims of violence.

The violence in our streets, in our schools, in our homes, creates a world where people live in fear.

For women it alters the feeling of the night and our

environment Some women organize their lives aroundthe threatof violence- unable to enjoy a solitarywalk at chlsk on a snowy evening;unable to enjoy the pleasuresof nature on an isolated trail; even, for some, unable to enjoy the solitude and security in their own home.

When women do participate in solitaryor late night activities, they risk being blanm should they become victims ofviolence.

Violence is a chosen response, and society must become serious about chosing to end violence. Fnding violencebegins.wheneach and every one of us speaks out against violence. It begins when we teach our childrennot to solve their problems with their fists; when we tell our friend that wife battering is a criminal offence; when we report the child abuser; when we respect the word "NO" ori a date; when we walk away from the movie or sports event in which violence .isaccepted and even encou.raged.

As we remember women who have been victimsof violence, think about what you can do to help stop the violence. Then do it.

Thisanicle iswrittenin thememoryof thefollowing womenwho died in theMontrealMassacre,December6, 1989: Genevieve Bergeron, Helen Colgan, Nathalie Croteau,BarbaraDaigneault,Anne-MarieEdward,Maud Havierruck, BarbaraKlueviik-Widajewick, MaryseLeclair, Marsye Laganier,Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, MicheleRichard,Annie St. Arneault,Anne Turcotte.

Or'Crime COritf 01?

Let's look at the mind that pulls the trigger, not the weapon itself.

By Jim Hills Since Marc Lepine murdered 14 female students at Montreal's L'Ecole Polytechique, the debate has raged on: criminal control versus gun control.

At that time the Justice Minister, Kim Campbell, felt great pressure to do something about violent crime, and she responded with Bill C-80 and Bill C-17.

Campbell's intent was "to keep guns out of the hands of criminals while allowing bunters and hobbyists to pursue their pastimes with minimal interference".

The new regulations included: rigorous screening of the Firearms AcquisitionCertificate (FAC) applicants, increased restriction. and prohibition of certain weapons, limits on magazine capacity, and specific storage procedures.

Critics argue that gun regulation won't reduce the occurrences of violent crime: David Tomelson, president of the National Firearms Association, recently remarked that " what the governmentdoes with it's gun control law is give a criminal an absoluteguaranteeof his personalsafety while he is robbing and murdering."

Now, Canada's new Justice Minister, Allen Rock,has stated: "we are going to have a gun control package this fall and it is going to be substantial": Rock is considering: banning all handguns, expanding registrationrequirements·to all guns, and limiting the sale of ammunition to peopl.eaged 18 years and older.

Two problematicissu~s.arise: 1) _can the justice system realistically

regulate the flow of guns in Canada?

2) will gun control result in crime control?

Canada's proximity to one of the worldslargest arms producers complicates gun control. The Canada - US border is a double-edgedsword.

When the US .tried to enforce prohibition, it made alcohol smuggling extremelyprofitable, and Canadian spirits flowed south to meet the demand. Mo~ recently, when cigarette taxes in Canada made tobacco smuggling profitable, smuggling was rampant;"in 1993an estimated $1.4 thousand million in tax revenueswerelost,over25%of all cigarettes in Canada were contraband."

Evennow as I write (Oct. 24, 1994), BCTV's NewsHourFinalis reporting that Canadiansare smugglinglarge amountsof illicit fireworks into Canada for resale at ten times the cost.

It is likely that as weapon use and ownership in Canada becomes more and morerestricted,gunsmugglingwill increase proportionatelyas illicitentrepreneursrush tocapitalizeoninflatedprices,andincreased demand.

In the words of Metropolitan .

Toronto Police Association president, ArthurLymer,''people who want a gun will

be able to get one..., especially when you have a country to the south of us that doesn't have controls."

It's interesting to note that Rock appears to accept without question the assumptionthat guns cause violent crime.

SociologistAlbertK. Cohen Deviance and Controlwrites: Identical firearms can be used to kill deer in season, or deer, policemen, and estr:anged spouses out of it is season. It is one of themost fundamental and pervasive dilemmas of social life that all legitimate power, whether over . things or people, can~ used to implement or to violate social nom1s.

If reducingthe occurrenceof violent crime is desired by Canadians, it seems more appropriate or intelligent for the governmentto investigate why people use "implements... to violate social nom1s," instead of forcing its public to give up certain implements. It must be more important for society to now how to avoid raising more Marc Lepines, than it is to worry about where they'll pick up their next tool/weapon.

Robert:K.Mertenarguesthat "crime is a symptom of the dissociation, or gap, between culturally prescribed aspirations ·and the socially structured avenues for

realizingthoseaspirations." In otherwords, if you don't have access to the means to achieve the "culturally prescribed" goals you may resort to crime.

Hackler notes that education is an "accepted institutionalized means" of achieving wealth -- a common goal in America. As schooling is expensive, poverty plays a role in this "gap."

Opportunity Structuralists claim that "if legitimate opportunities are blocked, the next step may be to search for illegal success...", and if both ·legitimate and illegitimate opportunities are blocked, ''violence and drugs may be the only things left."

Maybe in the interests of reducing violent crime, Rock ought to look at restricting Lloyd Axworthy's plan to implementthe reduction of federal transfer payments, and Martin's plan to reduce government programs, in that these implements may cause more random acts of senselessviolencein thenext twodecades than ~e can possibly be prepared for. · Axworthy's plan will help UJ1dermineprogram universality through under-funding, and focus on "target" orientedprograms directed at the poor; this process, according to Linda Mcquaig, will "stigmatize the poor ... [and lead] to resentment on the part of those who pay taxes and receive no benefits."

If it's the "universality" of socia-1 programs that narrow the "gap" between the ''means" and the "goals", in Canadian society, maybe gun control isn't the cure for violent crime at alf ·

the Victory

Chanukah; eight days of celebration and rededication.

By Alon Kemp1er Chanukah (ha-nu-kah) is a holiday that is observed for eight days to commemorate the his.toric victory of the Maccabeans following a three year uprising against the ruling AssyrianGreek regime. This regime conspired to 0 0 0 0 impose restrictions against Jewish religious practices and values.

This struggle culminated with the recapture of the Temple oOerusalem in 165 B.C.E. and the restoration of its --traditional Jewish service.

They cleaned up the temple and had to relight the eternal light with holy oil to.be able to recommence traditional services, but there was only a one day supply of oil left and it took eight days to make more. They lit Menorah despite this shortage and the oil miraculously kept the flame alight for the eight days it took to make the oil.

Chanukah means dedication and refers to the

rededication of the temple to the service of God after it had been defiled with pagan images and practices.

The Chanukah Menorah is an eight- branched · candelabrum with an additional place for the shanash, or service,candle. The victory alsorestored 0 Jewish political sovereignty over the land. bl 0 0 0 Chanukah begins on 25 Kislev (Jewish calendar) which begins this year on November 27th and continues to December 5th.

On the first night, one candle is lit from right to left, and so on through the eighth night, when the entire Menorah is lit.

Basically, it's an eight day party (dinner, singing, dancing). During Chanukah, Jews remember their fight for freedom and the rededication of the temple.

So if you know any Jewish people, give them a big hug and wish them a Happy Chanukah!

Or does it simply arrive with the first sign of winter? With finals, registration, and Xmas creeping up, everyone is busy trying to make ends meet and keep up with the never-ending piles of homework.

When you've got an emptywallet ant the dreaded "winter blaahs" hibernate. Hey, bears do it! Sure, they tend to be a little grumpy if you stumble upon them unexpectedly, but can you blame them? Or better yet, grab you parka and hit the road. Getting stranded on the side of a road during a blizzard is always a fun way to spend the weekend.

(Remember you don't have any money for gas.) Tsk, Tsk. May I have a drum roll please...This is Madame Leotta saying "Adieu". The crystal ball has rolled off the table, onto the floor. (Or was that the whiskey bottle?) Oh, heck something's gone wrong somewhere. Show's over.
