Golden raspberries in

War
By John Volmers
The bombing of a civilian shelter in Iraq has been met with shock and horror across the world.
Hollywood is buzzing once again with the announcement of this year’s Acadamy Award nominations. Not to be outdone, the nominations for the 11th annual Golden Raspberry Awards have also been announced. These awards, better known as Razzies, are given to actors and filmakers who have bombed both critically and commer-

"such categories as worst film, worst actor, worst actress, worst new star and... well you get the idea. Of course many people probably think that some of these pompous stars who become Razzie winners need a blow to their inflated egos. But the whole concept of critics going through the trouble of nominating, choosing and awarding an actor with a gold statue for the sole purpose of thumbing ^eir nose at him or her is childish, stupid and downright petty. To give the foundation some credit, they usually manage to find bad enough films to nominate. This year’s most-nominated film is Bo Derek’s Ghosts Can’t Do It. Other nominees include foul- mouthed Andrew Dice Qay, Prince (for his less-than-classic Purple Rain sequel. Graffiti Bridge) and Sylvester Stallone, whose incoherent gmnting at the end of the second Ram bo film is enough to give an acting coach an ulcer.

the loss.
Whatever the reason, the sad fact is that this is war and in war usually the innocent are the victims. Instead of condemning U.S. forces, it must be remembered that Iraq was given months to get out of Kuwait, while Hussein scoffed. It must also be remembered that Canada is a member of the United Nations and we must support this war regardless of who the victims are. If people want to blame someone for this senseless violence they should blame Hussein. Maybe now the people of Iraq will stand up and try to overthrow their leader before any more of their people are put in an early grave.

Substance would be nice There were some surprises nations for the 63rd annual
this
year with the nomi-
Academy Awards. But
Kevin Costner’s epic western. Dances with Wolves, no surprise. Somewhat peculiar was the nomination of Ghost for best picture of the year. The film may have been a surprising box-office hit but that should not be strong enough merit to win the film a nomination for best picture. However, good as it may have been, some qualities were missing to put it on the same level as the other films nominated in that category. Some films are meant to be popular and financially more successful than others at the box office while others are to be creative successes and nominated for awards. There is no question that Dances with Wolves, Good Fellas and Awakenings are some of the finest films fo the year and deserve the nomination for best picture. And then there is The Godfather, Part III which could
not be left out, after all. The Godfather won best picture in 1972 and The Godfather, Part II in 1974. With that
may be in the third part’s favor. Another unusual occurrence was Julia Roberts nom-
track record, the odds
collecting 12 nominations;
The Razzies, however, also like to attack less worthy prey. This year for example, the foundation has found itself fit to nominate Mickey Rouilce and George C. Scott for worst actor as well as Melanie Griffith and Bette Midler for worst actress. Granted Rourke’s performance in last year’s Wild Orchids can be considered weak at best, and George C. Scott must have been seriously suffering in the financial department to agree to star in Exorcist 111. But have the Razzies forgotten Rourke’s wonderful performances in such films as Diner, The Pope of Greenwich Village and Year of the Dragon? And how could Scott ever be considered a possibility for worst actor of the year? Does a man who won an Acadamy award for the 1970 film Patton deserve this dishonor? If the Razzie people really want to find the worst movies and actors of the year, they should take a trip down to their local video store and look at the hundreds of films that weren’t even released to theatres because they were so bad. If they did that, however, they wouldn’t get the chance to bash celebreties and receive the unwarranted amount of attention the press gives them each year. So is that the real reason for the Razzies? Someone’s sad plea for attention? Or are they a product of jealous minds?failed writers and actors anxious to attack a star at the first possible chance they get? To make it in Hollywood an actor has to be tough skinned and be able to take criticism. But the Razzies aren’t criticizing they’re attacking. If not for the sake of the performers, (who probably take this insult with a grain of salt) then for the people who have to sit through John Tesh and Mary Hart gleefully announcing the winners on Entertainment Tonight, or for the journalist whose story gets cut in order to make room for the list of nominations, will someone please teU The Golden Raspberry Award Foundation that they’re just not funny.

Some concern has been expressed on campus that “Pieton” is too far away from pedestrian traffic to be fully appreciated. Many staff and students have never had a close look at the work. Of a number of suggestions for relocating the statue the most popular seems to be at the crossing of paths in the woods, central to the Doon campus.

Dear Editor, The article “Working class needs daycare too” Jan. 21 was interesting and quite true of problems facing many people today. However, the article did not specify where the money will or should come from to pay for subsidized daycare.
Let’s face it. The well-to-do should pay full fare, the lower mid-
dle class should pay dependant on
income, and be partly subsidized if necessary. The lower income earners (the people struggling) should be fully subsidized. But the point of my letter, not addressed in the article is: where is this money going to come from? Obviously our governments. But let’s all keep in mind that when our taxes are increased to cover this and
