How To Avoid The Ha·ssle of Pay Parking

The parking services of the University College of the Fraser Valley have a few suggestions for those people who wish to avoid parking headaches. Below is a list of alternatives available to students who want to avoid the aggravation of waiting in line and the need to have constant pocket change for the yellow ticket dispensers in the student parking lots: ♦

Two churches have been reserved as FREE UCFV overflow parking; these are located at the comer ofMcCallum Rd. and King Rd., and the comer of King Rd. and Mackenzie Rd.

♦

Parking is FREE along King Rd., as well as Mackenzie Rd. However, please be aware of the parking signs that indicate where it is legal to park. Violation of these parking regulations will result in ticketing and towing charges by the Municipality.

♦

There is a five-day parking pass available to students which can be purchased at both the Abbotsford or Chilliwack Campus Bookstores. The cost for these are $5.00

♦

Carpool Match-List Application forms are available at Parking Services (Call 4542).

These are available for students who are seeking to carpool with other students. A list will be generated to help students find car-poolers who have similar schedules.

♦

There are subsidized Transit Passes available to students which can be obtained from both the Abbotsford and Chilliwack Campus Bookstores.

For More Information contact the Parking Services (B244) at Local 4542.

Thank You.

UCFV President A dynasty has come to an end at UCFV. An academic dynasty that is.

During the in-camera session of UCFVs August 27th Board meeting, Dr. Peter Jones submitted his resignation from post as president of the college. This news comes after ten years in the top job - ten years which have clearly been a. period of metamorphosis for this institution.

Reaction to the news?

Widespread shock. Jones did note, in a letter to his colleagues, that this decision should not come as a complete surprise to those who know him well; yet, students, faculty, and board members alike seem to have been taken offguard. In fact, after receiving Jones' resignation, the board promptly and unanimously asked him to reconsider. However, one week later Df. Jone~ st~nds by his decision. · In his letter, Jones confesses the primary reason for his resignation: At 59, he wants to return to teaching before official retirement.

Moreover, during an interview with the Cascade, Jones expressed his feeling that the institution needs a new leader as it enters a new phase of its existence. UCFVs expected acceptance into the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) this October will confirm the credibility of its university degrees and signal the completion of the transition from college to university-college.

Jones explained that "some people are best as leaders during periods of rapid growth and change, while others have skills more suited to times of stability." He sees himself as the former but feels the university-college now needs the latter. Furthermore, with a largely new board in place, Jones insists there may not be a better time for fresh minds to plot a fresh course.

Looking back over the past ten years, there's no

shortage of large projects and creative initiatives that have changed the face of UCFV forever. Yet, when asked what he sees as the greatest success of his team, Jones didn't hesitate: "What I think we've been successful at, and what I think makes us unique ... is that we've managed to go through a period of such rapid change, while still maintaining a climate of reasonableness." In an age of special interest groups, Jones claims, this place has been an oasis of cooperation and non-factionalism.

Supporters maintain this is a hallmark of Jones' style: face challenges with open discussions, creativity, and cooperation - not polarization and trench warfare.

It is this type of attitude, reflects Jones, " that has enabled us to avoid many of the growing pains experienced by other- institutions during similar periods of change.' 1 Another success of Jones' "decade at the controls" is the ties built with the communities which UCF.V serves.

The Clearbrook Technical Center and the Heritage Park joint project are the most obvious exampies of these ties. However, the University-College has made countless other, albeit less high-profile, connections with groups in the community. For example, at UCFV's last convocation Chief Stephen Point gave a drum to the College on behalf of the Sto:lo Nations to be used as our own version of the "university mase."

This gift is only the latest step in an ongoing relationship between UCFVand the Fraser Valley band. Perhaps the latest community project at UCFV is the Women's Center. This exciting new initiative has brought various Fraser Valley women's groups on campus as resources to the College.

In addition to creating ties in our own community, UCFV with Jones as president has built strong inter-

In fact, Jones himself spent a year teaching in Japan as part of an exchange in an ongoing inter-institutional relationship.

LeRoi Jenkins Corruption and incompetence; flagstones of Western government and indeed, local student government. Gather round y'all, because incompetence is the topic of this tale, and it all ends up in the lap of the present Student Union.

The current vice-president internal of the 1997 Student Union owes the student body an explanation-or two thousand dollars. A business deal. went bad within the Student Union and the entire student body has just been ripped off. Sound interesting? Read on ...The whole fucked-up fiasco

The Library wishes to thank the students at UCFV for the $25,000 we have received this year from student fees, and which we will use to increases Library hours to provide additional access for students.

The money allows us to increase the Abbotsford Library opening hours by 6.5 hours per week, and the Chilliwack Library hours by 4.5 hours per week, for the period from the beginning of the term until the end of exams.

Last year we monitored student use of the Library carefully, and we also paid attention to student feedback, in order to determine when the Library was most heavily used.

We have tried to use this information to determine where we could most effectively increase the Library hours this year, and thus benefit the maximum number of students.

The Abbotsford Library hours will be: Mon-Thurs 8:00am - 10:00pm Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm Saturday 10:00 am - 4:00 pm The Chilliwack Library hours will be: Mon-Thurs 8:00 am - 9:30 pm Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm Saturday 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

A copy of Kleisinger's proposal broke down the project's costs: -120 hours of research at $10.00/hour -50 hours of compilation time -$300.oo worth of miscellaneous expenses.

The 95/96 Union approved the proposal and granted Kleisinger her initial one-thousand dollars, with the agreement that five-hundred would be granted at a mid-point, begins with a proposal with the remaining halfbrought forth to the Stugrand being received on dent Union on December completion of the project.

I was apmember's inexperience proached by Paul Becker, with legalities and rules. a former Union member She proposed a manual (in fact a voting member that would aid in day to of the very Union that day operations. It was approved the proposal), SUS For Dummies. Cori who hajj enough of the was a problem solver for a fact that Kleisinger had price, and that would be effectively walked off with the cool 2 g's. two-thousand dollars. He

felt that the past three years of the Student Union's handling of the matter was "utterly pathetic and banal...we gave her the student's money and she gave us jack shit." According to other Union sources, who pref erred to remain unnamed, Kleisinger did not honor the agreement of bi-monthly progress reports and yet was still given the remaining funds. Becker requested an update at a meeting last Winter semester and the Student Union recognized Kleisinger's actions as being remiss. And the ball was dropped there.

"This is the fundamental problem," Becker said. "No one has the initiative to recognize two things: 1. Cori ripped us off and 2. We allowed Cori to rip off tHe student body. So we screwed up, last year's union screwed up and this year's union will probably let the matter slide on ... " So far the 97 /98 Union has allowed Kleisinger to take a leave of absence until the spring of 98. Hinmm, could she be avoiding the inevitable.

The Abbotsford Library hours are longer than those in Chilliwack to reflect the greater number of students in Abbotsford.

We did look at increasing hours even more during exam times, as both UBC and SFU do.

But our statistics show that fewer students actually used the Library during exams than at other times during the term.

This is probably because UCFV does not have residences on campus.

We also considered increasing Saturday hours substantially, but again, Saturday has proven to be our least busy day. Also, much of the activity is generated by public use, rather than by students.

We have tried to provide the maximum benefit to the maximum number of students with the funds available. However, we appreciate that there may be some students who will not find these particular additional hours helpful, and we would like to hear from you to see if anything can be done. We are always willing to look at ways of meeting your needs, if we can possibly do so.

Lisa Chew "People may or may not say what they mean . .. but they always say something designed to get what they want."

-David Mamet When the publicity package for "Sexual Perversity in Chicago" came sliding under The Cascade office door, how could I help but be intrigued-likely due to those same voyeuristic tendencies in us all that have enticed you into reading this article. This play by David Mamet was playing at the Vancouver Fringe Festival, produced, directed, and acted by exUCFV students ... the perfect theatre article for The Cascade's first issue and a good excuse for me to get a comp.

Sexual Perversity was a play that provoked me, confused me and pissed me off. I read Mamet's play in about an hour and immediately decided that I hated it. The characters seemed stereotyped, shallow and lacking in anything that connected with me. Bernie, the asshole, objectifier of women, had not a single redeeming quality, while Joan, the bitter feminist lacked

'Entertainment

Pl any of the positive qualities of a strong woman. Deborah and Danny were the other two characters and while their affair lies ai the center of the play, both characters came across as weak and underdeveloped.

I grumbled my way into Vancouver on Friday evening, grabbed a Hooch at the WISE Hall bar and settled down in a decidedly exhausted and unimpressed mood. The Hooch quickly combined with my empty stomach to raise my spirits somewhat.

The set seemed nondescript in the dull pre-action lighting; but the large futon bed still grabbed the audience's attention as central to the setting. No doubt this play

is about sexuality and· the set unhesitatingly underlined this.

(The play began promptly and I laughed and laughed along with many of the others in the audience.) Theatre is like that, sometimes it is an iconoclast, catching you completely offguard.

The play consists of a series of vignettes highlighting conversations between various combinations of the four characters. The staging worked very well to accommodate the fast pace and change of location. In fact, the group even won a stage design award at the Kelowna Drama Festival this summer. The musical score for this production has also

Page 5

won accolades, as it is all original compositions by Broek Bosma.

The actors are all members of Saucy Eye productions, a company that was formed in order to stage this play at the UCFV Director's Festival last May. The actors are Kasey Kieler, Dena Ashbaugh, Eleanor Spooner, and Scott Tremblay.

Each of these actors had a demanding role and was quite capable at their task. Tre~blay however, stole the show as Bernie and perhaps his acting, combined with the direction of Andrew Smith, are what made me suddenly able to find sympathy and depth in Bernie's character.

I still don't like this play, but I thoroughly enjoyed the many conversations I had with others about it. I also enjoyed watching the successful ex UCFV students perform it and engage me in this plays themes, hence the contradictions within me, regarding this play. I do think that this play is lacking in accuracy and depth of development for the female characters, but it is still worth _seeing sometime.

"Taxi, sir?" the porter inquired as I stumbled out of the Club Rio. Of course, a taxi! I needed a taxi in the most obvious way-there was no way I could walk back to my room. It was at least a kilometre away and the air was warm enough to make me sweat just standing; a walk might kill me.

Mind you, the amount of alcohol in my system might have been the main reason I was sweating-but I didn't want to think about that for the time being. No, a ride home was of real importance.

Besides, I was in Vegas, and no one walks

here. That is why half the tourists are fatter than Marlon Brando.

The cab pulled up and I fell into the back seat.

"Take me to the Imperial Palace please" I managed as I dug into my coat for the cigar I had bought earlier.

It was hand-made in the very shop that boxing great George Foreman and Joe Frazier had stood and smoked fat stogies, perhaps contemplating the ever-approaching next fight. That or the big-ass wad of cash sitting in their pocket. They probably tip everyone, I thought to myself, which would necessitate the large roll of bills. In Vegas, its hip to tip everywhere you go, as if you have money coming out of your ass.

The tipping act can be overplayed and quite hard on the wallet v.-he·" you really involve yourself. For instance, during a i1ab1tuctl

walk from my room down to the ground floor and across the casino gaming area in search of the bar with The Special, hidden costs began to develop. The Special was an ice cold bottle of Corona for a dollaran unbeatable deal-but after a few routine trips I soon realized that my beer score wasn't so great. After tipping Leon the bellhop (who always had a scoop on the hot-spots for the evening), Maurice the slots manager (who would tell you where not to play slots because someone always lucks out and drains machines, leaving it useless to the pocket-change gambler), and giving the bartender a tip for grabbing me yet-another cheap beer, The Special became less than special. A perfect example of Las Vegas economics: a $1 beer will inevitably cost $4. There is

no way to win in Las Vegas.

"That'll be eight dollars, sir." I gave the driver a ten and told him to keep the change, not out of courtesy but more because I didn't want to have to wait.

And of course there was the tipping act to maintain.

As I moved through the casino I got yet another chance to see people paying to get drunk on weak booze, while losing their c,ash. I guess that's the beauty and attraction of gambling; my friend Abe told me that he had a good time getting drunk at the $20 bet table, and it only cost him $1000 (American funds) .... of course, he budgeted for that. I budgeted for a $10 loss and I was already nearing $8.50, thus my habit of buying cheap beer and retiring to my room.

Tonight was no different than last ... NEXT PAGE...

Lap dancing ..... now where did that sound familiar? Oh yeah, now I recalled where it had come up. My first evening in Vegas had been filled with crazy stories but none more frightening than the events of Han's vacation. Hans is a young guy out of Vancouver who had arrived a day before me. He hadn't slept a wink when I saw him, which meant that he had been awake for a solid 30 hours or so. Hans was down big time and had retreated for the strip joints. Enticed by his limo driver to tour the full range of review, Hans ended up in a nasty establishment where women ac-

The only thing that changes are the amount of tourist types; the kind of people that walk through the gaming areas and occasionally stop to watch some person lose their children's college funds. Look dear, that

I suppose some people gamble actually believing that they might win. I spied one such individual through my smoked, goldframe glasses. Every serious gambler has one universal characteristic: a casual slump ,in the body accompanied by half-shut eyes that scan the room.

These types don't even blink when they get 'up' (a loose gambling term indicating profit). They also fail to wince when they get 'down', most likely because they spend most of their time down wondering when they will actually get up. I push myself through the gaming area before my ' I-can -be- a -wi nn er-tootheory' filtered through the alcoholic haze I had developed since taking off from Vancouver International.

As the glowing gold Coronas came into focus, I inevitably ran fnto Willis, who always knew the best machine to waste my quarters on (I swear to God Mr. Becker a guy won $2000 here this morning!).

Amnesty International Jamie Hellewell More than half the member states of the United Nations imprison their citizens for their political or religious beliefs, and torture, "disappearances," and executions are widespread.

These practices violate human rights, as proclaimed by the United Nations in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and must be stopped.

They can be. In country after country, an evergrowing number of persons are taking actions to stop human rights violations and prevent their future reoccurrence.

Through their efforts, Amnesty International is demonstrating that the world can change, even against overwhelming odds. Work together with us for change.

The protection of human rights may seem to be an overwhelming task. It is, and every individual's contribution is needed. The more voices there are, the stronger the message. There are now more than one million Amnesty members and supporters in 150 countries working on behalf of thousands of victims of human rights violations.

Deciding to do nothing is a decision in favour of the continuation of these crimes. The words of Martin Luther King Jr. ( 1963) are worth considering: "This generation will have to repent, not merely for the hateful... actions of the bad people, but also for the appalling silence of the good people." Add your voice to ours.

Amnesty International is a worldwide movement independent of any government, political grouping, economic interest or religious creed.

Love Affair With The Arrow Is Off Target Ron Dart

The canceling of the Avro Arrow in 1959 must be set within a much broader historic and political context.

There is too much uncritical nostalgia and glassy-eyed sentimentalism about the Arrow these days.

In short, we desperately need much more solid critical and investigative journalism - and much less description.

John Diefenbaker came to power in 1957 with his "time to change" agenda.

The Liberals had been in the driver's for 22 years.

Diefenbaker, being the last of the Red Tories, stood for a firm-footed Canadian nationalism, an anti-Bay Street continental corporatism and a substantive suspicion of American imperialism.

In fact, Diefenbaker was given the green light by Canadians because he realized, unless Canadians did something soon, American corporations would convert Canada into a colony and branch plant; this, of course, would s·everely limit how Canada would be able to shape its future.

They

The St. Laurent-CD. Howe Liberals (like our modern Liberals-Conservatives-Reformers) longed to turn Canada into a corporate dancing bear of the U.S.A.; Diefenbaker dared to differ, and Canadians had the courage to back his nationalist vision.

The formal establishment of NORAD in 1958 caused Diefenbaker some concern. The canceling of the Arrow in 1959 (a St. Laurent C.D. Howe) and the refusal , by Diefenbaker, to uncritically back Kennedy in the 1962 Cuban Missile crisis raised Kennedy's ire.

The Diefenbaker-Kennedy relationship was one of the low-points of CanadianAmerican history.

The federal election of 1963 was fought over whether Pearson would genuflect before Kennedy on bringing warheads for Bomarc missiles into

In need of some fresh air to clear the cobwebs and some caffeine to kickstart the day, J ventured to a local coffee shop to do some reading and some people watching.

At a nearby table sat 4 middle-aged ladies, laughing and sharing anecdotes of the week past and plans for the one upcoming ... sharing the camaraderie of a morning spent around a cup of coffee. I didn't pay much heed to them as I went about my reading, until the tone of their conversation dropped an octave .. you know the one, the one that inherently indicates the topic being discussed ought not to be. I distracted myself from my book and lent half an ear to what was being said.

"I don't have a problem with it, but it's their public displays of affection that bother me," she said as the group leaned forward in earnest, "I don't like to see such displays even from straight people."

Inclusionary language only works when all can agree to adhere to the ideology behind it and, unfortunately, most of the population can't.

"I don't believe these people when they claim to have no choice in determining their own sexuality ..." offered one lady, "I mean, we all have choices as to who we spend our time or sleep with."

I was tempted to ask her who she spent her time with and with whom she lay beside in pleasure, but that's none of my business. Who am I to need to know what goes on in the beds of others in this community? I couldn't help but wonder what dark, perverse skeletons filled the collective closets that sat around that table ... perhaps actions in heterosexuality are permissible as an extension of carnal pleasure: allowed only to those subjected to the laws of our nature that forces us to procreate or perish.

CARPOOL INFORMATION

Did you know that With a group of two or more people, you can share the costs of commuting and eliminate the hassles of parking? Carpools are assigned priority parking, and parking fees are lower for carpools (in fact, with a four-person pool, parking is free at UCFV!).

The first step in getting a carpool is to find a group of people who live near each other and who share similar schedules. If you are having difficulty with this first step, we might be able to help.

Pick up a Carpool Matchlist Application from Parking Services, fill it out and we'll enter the information onto our computer database and send you a matchlist once enough data has been gathered. We might not be able to provide you with a matchlist right away -- for example, if we don't get a lot of applicants, or if you live in a low-population area -- but you will receive one as soon as it is available.

CARPOOL MATCHLIST APPLICATION Jnfonnation on this fonn will be kept strictly confidential and will be used only for the purposes of matching people for ca,poo'/s. Prospective matches will be given only your work and/or home phone number(s).

Liam Roherts The world simply would not be complete this week without the death of Princess Diana being discussed in every possible medium known to western civilization ... this includes t.v., radio, internet conference sites, Morse code, those navy flag signal things, and of course, the beautiful Cascade. After all, while the concept of the British monarchy doesn't have much of a sentimental attachment with much of the collegiate generation, there is something very disturbing about her death. At least, that's the case for me. Putting my finger on the reasons for feeling that way is hard, and I can't really understand why the death of one celebrity who I never even met could shake me so strongly.

This is a question that a lot of people around the world are asking themselves as well, so I feel like I'm in a great company of confused weirdos.

There has been the obvious connection made to the untimely death of JFK assassinated in the I 960's. It's that old infamous question: "Where were you when you heard that Kennedy had been shot????"

magazine, and not really real. It is that disaffection we have for all celebrities, we don't realize that they actually exist beyond the talk shows and entertainment rags and such crap. Her death, however, nailed home the fact that she was alive, and wasn't just a sad story in a tabloid.

The death of Mother Theresa just days later hasn't been nearly as well-covered in the news, as the wake of Diana's death is still so fresh. But, I think we all realize that she is a similar example of the world losing one of the few people who got into the dirt and changed the order of things. It doesn't seem as tragic though, does it? Mother Theresa was old, and accomplished, and had been ill, so it's not as sad. Also, Mother Theresa was rarely plastered topless on tabloids at every supermarket in the world ... so we didn't know her quite as well. Is that what it comes down to? Our superficial knowledge of celebrity causes us to feel like we know them. While Mother Theresa had done more for charity than Diana had managed to, Diana is the one who had her 1-ifestory in our faces every time we went down to buy nachos at the comer store. So, is the world mourning

the great loss, or just missing her familiarity? It's like a movie with a sad ending, but do we even realize that it has happened in reality?

In any case, this could really be one of those events that changes the world. It is a point in history we will all remember, but if it's going to be an actual tumingpoint. .. ifs hard to say. Her death could inspire someone to take up her causes, maybe even someone in the royal family, or perhaps not. This will be the gauge for why we mourn her death. If the monarchy and the public take greater interests in helping the less fortunate to honor her memory, then maybe it is because we know we really will miss what she did, and we know we do need people like her.

On the other hand, it may fade into memory as a sad ending to a sad story. and the world will just have to do without. The newspapers will resume printing other stories, soccer matches in England will start up again ... If we mourn her even without the media spotlight on the tragedy, that is when we know it has actually affected us deeply.

'Till then, I'll still be confused as to why I'm one of the sad masses.
