Father Des Wilson speaks with David Thiessen on the Irish situation The following is a short interview taken last week with Father Des Wilson. Fr. Des Wilson was a curate in West Belfast from 1966 1975. He resigned from clerical positions in 1975 because he disagreed with the church authorities position regarding the use of church resources on the poverty stricken situation of Northern Ireland. He helped found an adult education centre, independent of the church and political parties, within the local community, and he works there now.

He was awarded the Pax Christi Peace Prize in 1975 and received an honorary award in Peace Studies from Manhattan College in 1976.

Last week we were - with special thanks to Ron Dart, very privileged to have him with usat U.C.F.V., and to hear his call for a return to Irish roots: social, political, and religious.

First of all, how has your trip been, and where exactly have you gone?

I am pleased with the trip in the sense that while traveling through New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Washington, Seattle, and now Vancouver, the truth about Ireland is finally beginning to seep

Father Des Wilson, frustrated by British control of Ireland, spreads his message throughout North America

out. Human Rights organizations are finally beginning to accurately portray our struggle, and are beginning to understand the immense hurdles we must overcome.

Yet there seems to be a general atmosphere around here that things in Ireland are

considerably better than they used to be. How would you respond to an assertion like that.

Well that certainly depends on what is meant by the phrase "used to be". If you go back to the mideighteenth century when we lost 4 million people, literally half our Cont. on Page 3

population, in a mere ten years, due to mass starvation through economic imperialist policies, as well as forced immigration, yes things are much better. But if we look at the last thirty years the answer is certainly no. The war has gotten more severe and more sophisticated. In recent months the intensity of the killings has been extremely severe.

Whywould you say the last thirty years? What happened thirty years ago that can be so·strongly contrasted with what is happening today?

Well in the 1960's it really looked like the civil rights movement would succeed in Ireland.

The Nationalists in the 1960's all banded together - Catholic and Protestant, right wing and left wing - to demand basic human rights within the existing system, but within a few years this dream was shattered through myriads of bombs and bullets. Since then, every minor appearance ofa breakthrough means increased killings and the death squads, squads paid for and tramed by the British Intelligence Service and secret societies like the Orange

Lodges, appear in force. In the mid seventies the British government relented somewhat and created a slightly more democratic parliamentary system whereby the amount ofvotes one received, at least theoretically, entitled them to participate to the same degree in the system. But even this was brought downby a conspiracy between British Intelligence Services and the military. Theparliamentarychange, in fact, lasted for less than a year.

We now know that this conspiracy was designed to destroy Harold Wilson's Labour Party. This is generally accepted by everyone.

How was it brought down?

Well most of it was done in secret, but the killings, particularly in 1974, were extremely severe. Both Dublin and Monaghon were severely bombed, killing many, many people.

Plastic bullets were also introduced, supposedly "safe" for shooting into crowds of demonstrators. Yet since that time over 120 Irish have been killed with these "plastic"bullets, 14 of which have been young children.

Certainly, the sheer brutality of this period was a factor in bringing down

Award-winning films to be shown at Ab\,y campus More than -5,000 mountain enthusiasts make then annual trek to Banff each November to view the best mountain and adventure films from around the world and mingle with the greats from the climbing community. For those who can't make it to the Banff Festival of Mountain Films, there is an alternative. The best films from each year's festival go on a world tour immediately following the event in Banff.

The"BestoftheFestival"World Tour will be screened at the University College of the Fraser Valley's Abbotsford campus on Friday, December 3 from 7 - 10pm.

Outdoor enthusiasts and film buffs will find ample fare ranging from mountaineering, base jumping, paras ailing, and kayaking to environmental, wilderness, and historical mountaineering films.

"The Banff Festival is one of

the world's premier mountain film festivals," says Ron Coreau, UCFV Continuing Education coordinator.

"This event epitomizes the spirit of adventure which molintains have come to symbolize. We're really excited about bringing the world tour to Abbotsford."

120films will competethis year for five awards. An international jury will determine the best films in four categories: Climbing, Mountain Sports, Mountain Environment and Grand Prize. The audience will decide the winner of the People's Choice Award.

Admissions for the Banff Festival Mountain Films ""Best of the Festival" World Tour is $12. Preregistration is requested as seating in the theatre is limited.

this agreement.

Have there been other agreements reached?

In the mid 1980's an Anglo/ Irish agreement was reached between the London government and the Dublin government. It was agreed that the Irish government could-theoretically- intervene in all matters con®ming the governing of theN.E. Thistreaty,anlnternational

Treaty, is still in existence. But once again the death squads came out in force,killing many innocent civilians, and . imprisoning many others.

Throughout every possible advance, killings are becoming more random and more severe. For example, when Sinn Fein began to emerge in the 1980's as a possible non-military alternative Republican opposition, Cont. on Page 6

The Admissions and Standards . Committee is contemplating changing the order of registration so that the following is the order: . ·· 1.

3. Students coritinuingfrom a semester within the previous calendar year who do not have higher qualifications and are eligible to continue in their programs.

4. New students and students

returning after an absence of more than one year who do not have higher qualifications.

5. Ifpermittedbytheprogram, students who do not meet the minimum requirements to continue in their programs. Seats may be reserved for students in this group in skills courses that would help them succeed.

Witl\in each of these groups, the order.will be based.upon your student number. Reserved seats will be held retardless · ofthe timethe students who are entitled 'to th~m register. :; \' .· · ·..

Cont. from Page 3 the death squads came out in force and killed many of the Sinn Fein. It does not seem to matter, as far as. killings are concerned, how we oppose the British occupation oflreland. In fact the brutality, and serious unreasonableness, of the English regime is the legitimating force behind the IRA. In their minds, military opposition is the only thing the English government will listen to. To them, almost 900 years of "peaceful" resistance has gotten nowhere. To them, a war necessitates the use of force.

As a woman in the '90's; I have· learned 'to live with · feat, always anticipating iin attacker to jump out o( the bushes. That course taught me to live with caution in where I go and what I do, but the fear was replaced with a great feeling of strength and self-confidence in what I can do. I believe that self-defense should be taught to everyone, probably at the high-school Q.ge.

I know there are many women out there who feel as I did; that they would be helpless if attacked.

I strongly recommend to ithem, and any woman regardless of Q.ge or physical ability, to take a self-defense course if you get the chance. The experience and knowledge gained are priceless, and you will come away feeling like so much more than a vi~m waiting to happen.

Well the fact of the matter is that IRA activities that began in 1971 are the only activities that ever get publicized. The reality is that military opposition is a very small part of the Irish resistance effort.

The vast majority of it is attempted through democratic channels. The example of the 1960's, where simply basic human rights were being struggled for, within the system that presently existed, and still many of the protesters were killed, is not an isolated incident. Most of the work for political and economic change today is done through non-military

methods, and non-military demonstrators are still being routinely killed, tortured, and imprisoned. In fact, one of the biggest problems facing any form of Irish resistance to English domination is that virtually any Irish can be picked up, detained, and held for days, often tortured, with no legal rights at all.

This kind of system has always been present. ·

When these people that are detained go to court, what happens then?

The court system is simply atrocious. It would never be seen as legitimate in any democratic system.

Many judges are appointed through their membership in secret societies like the Orange Lodges. The evidence neededtogetaconvictionissoflimsy that virtually every lawyer recommends pleading guiJty in the hope of getting their client a lighter sentence. Virtually anyone can be convicted of anything. There are many, many people in jail that did not commit the crime they were convicted of. Everyone knows this: lawyers, clergy, press, and politicians. Everyone simply accepts this as a fact.

What are your thoughts on the future of Ireland?

I am very optimistic. I strongly believe we are in the last chapter of

British control in the North of Ireland. The John ·Hume (Labour Party) and Gerry Adams (Republican movement) talks are certainly evidence of this. Between them they have created a formula a for peace.

No one knows the details, but clearly it would involve a serious dissolution of British control. Although with the advent of these talks the death squads were right away out on the streets, and more killings occurred, we were nevertheless optimistic. We are learning· more and more about internal divisions within the English hierarchy. We now know that in the beginning of the 1970's the British were thinking of withdrawing frQm all, or part of the North, but for some reasonitwasneverpursued.

Butthe beginning of the end came when ten men died during a hunger strike in the 1980's. That was a turning point in the sense that the people's determination was shown to be so strong that the British government begantorealizeitcouldnotdominate the Irish forever. A government simply cannot keep on being unjust forever.

Bow would you care to close this?

Well, there is a saying in Ireland that goes back a very, very long way: "Long runs the fox, but eventually it is caught." Although I simply detest fox-hunts, I think it is a fitting motif.

EN TE RTAI NM ENT There's No Place Like Hoine For The Holidays As the Christmas season closes in upon us and friends and family return from far_oft'places like UBC, I realized that you, faithful reader, may be looking for a tried and true establishment in which to schmooze your significant other or reunite with old buds. I also realized that, as usual during the Christmas season, you may be short on the cash necessary to provide the five-star meal you desire. Fortunately for you, I have the perfect solutionHome. No, not a new restaurant with a dumb name, but the actual place you inhabit or return to every year around this time. Where else can you determine the menu, the atmosphere and the company without actually buying the restaurant?

The fare will cost you only as much as the grocery store charges, and going grocery shopping is always an adventure. Be it simple (Kraft Dinner doesn't count) or exotic (Chez Jill recently featured rotini .with seafood Alfredo sauce-thanks girls; and guys, we hope you enjoyed it because you're cooking next time!), never undere_stimate the value of a home-cooked meal. People will travel · hundreds of I miles simply to get a taste of home cookin'. Besides, food always tastes better when you cook it yourself.

The essence of eating at home

~~~~~PA~· GE,

is not simply eating, it is dining, which necessitates a certain atmosphere; Don't think of it as merely your house. Do a theme night!

Decorate! Play opera on Italian night or Beethoven on German night! Use candles or track lighting or firelight!

The possibilities are endless if you use your imagination! It's amazing what a little creativity can do to an average dining room.

The company is completely up to you-after all, it is your house.

Invite everyone you know for an open house, or just a few intimate friends for a candlelight dinner. The right company can make or break a dinner party, so choose wisely to ensure the right mix of people (what I'm trying to say is don't invite two mortal enemies-it can really screw up an evening, not to mention the cutlery and plates that might get thrown).

And always remember that if you are having wine with dinner to nominate a designated driver for the ride home.

After all, spending time with friends and family is the true essence of Christmas, and I'm not just talking the big turkey feast on the 25th.

Instead of taking the gang out to a restaurant over the holidays why not make them a real dinner at home-it's cheaper and will probably be more appreciated.

So my Christmas wish for all of you is that you each have at least one great home-cooked meal over the holidays.

Merry Eating!

I'd like to talk about an issue of importancewhenconsideringthe Canadian music scene: Independent Music. Take into account the fact that only a very small percentage of Canadian musicians have a majororeven minor record deal. Therefore thevastmajorityofCanucktalentlieslargely unknownand unheard of except for in their immediate markets. So when this talent becomes known to someone in a different area of the province or country. these musicians rely almost solely on word of mouth. It is for this reason that when I review independent bands, I will include their addresses. I fully encourage you to write and support this music, as this is where the new talent crop ·lies. While popularlabelbands from Torontowill often not even return, indies will always greet you appreciatively,sometimes even with a phone call!

Importance of Culture Highlighted ,in Said's Latest Work CJllSDW'EBook Review by Ron Dart global history. The Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Macedonian, Chinese, Roman or Spanish empires were relatively insignificant, both in duration and global dominance, compared with the imperial reach of France, England and the United States. A substantial amount has been done on the economic, political, educational and military aspects of empires; the genius of Said's Culture and Imperialism is the way he clearly highlights how culture plays a significant role in buttressing the interests of an imperial world view.

Said is mostly concerned with how English and French culture pundits undergirded and legitimated the substantive aspects of their empires. Said argues that it is one thing for intellectuals to critique the aberrations, nostalgia or emerging bourgeois attitudes within their cultures; many of these progressive intellectuals, though, stoutly defended the supremacy of their culture when it confronted another culture (or they were just silent about the conquests). In France, Tocqueville and Camus, in their different ways, justified and supported the colonization of Algeria. In England, Kipling, Ruskin, Carlyle, Arnold, and Mill, from different perspectives, were opposed to or hesitant about criticizing the white man's burden in India and other colonies.

CULTURE ill DIPF.RIALISM El)\:VARD

\Y. SAID l

Culture and Imperialism (1993) Edward Said The foundation of Empire is Art and Science. Remove them or Degrade them and the Empire is no more. Empire follows Art and not vice versa as Englishmen suppose. - William Blake Europeans controlled a third of the globe by 1800, two-thirds by 1878 and over four-fifths by 1914. The extensive and sprawling reach of Western imperialism, throughout the nineteenth and most of the twentieth century, is one of the most astounding facts in all human and

These priests of culture, Said insists, played a crucial role in insuring the vision of their culture was predominant Said divided Culture and Imperialism into four distinct yet intersecting chapters.

Section one discusses the overlapping territories and intertwined histories of the 1st and 3rd worlds, the industrial and developing states.

Said clearly points out how it is important to know the history and the role culture has played in colonization.

Section two builds on the stark and often brutal reality of colonization; Said moves on in this section to argue that the conquest of the 3rd world would have been impossible without the consolidating vision of 1st world culture. It was the imperial servants of culture that argued for 1st world supremacy, and it was these scribes of culture who saw it as their responsibility and obligation to civilize the inhabitants of the conquered territories.

Section three looks at the resistance and opposition, initially from within these third world cultures (reactively from 1st world

intellectuals), to their imperial masters.

Said argues, in this important section, that when the colonized cultures retrieved, revisited and consciously remembered their ancient narratives, the myths of the 1st world began to dissolve. Section four concludes by examining the possibilities, through culture, of resisting domination in the future. Said is certainly not a naive optimist, but he does believe history has an openness to it, and this means freedom from domination hinges on how freedom is used in the present tense.

This is the source of Said' s hope: the use of human freedom, through culture, to construct a better and different future.

Said's predominant concern in Culture and Imperialism is the way culture can be both used and abused. Said, in this superb work and companion toOrientalism (1978), draws from a rich I and diverse interdisciplinary background. Culture and Imperialism, whether or not we accept all the arguments, will challenge us to think in a more thorough and comprehensive way about the relationships between imperialism and culture, and potential ways to resist such a marriage.

Baldwin, Kidman Get Off With MALICE

SIMPLY SUBLIME

By Buzz & Skeeter We'veallseen(orfelt)itbefore: driving down the road, having a good timewhenithappens-thatTHUMPTHUMP-THUMP sound that exists wherever high-school rap wannabe pukes hangout.

Or maybe, on a Tuesday, you decide to go to the Cineplex Odeon, to enjoy a movie, some popcorn, and hopefully something even more appetizing later that evening. Again, that ever so familiar THUMP-THUMP-THUMP, which, of course, just fits in with the sight of countless hordes of pre- and post-pubescent, rap-wannabe high school pukes and their 20 lbs. of makeup-per-face girlfriends, just lingering outside the theatre. Where's a massmurderer with a fully automatic AR15 when you need one?

So, you're saying, so what?

Yeah, they're annoying, but so what?

Well we hate it, and that's cause enough. First of all, they all drive souped-up Civics or Sprints, and the really cool ones have lowered trucks.

They look like those god-damned El Caminos! Can'tgetarealoneanymore, so make your own. Then put five billion dollars of stereo equipment into your car/truck/El Camino wannabe and crank out dance and rap.

Why? I mean, it's not even good dan~e or rap. Apache Indian!

Whodunit keeps you guessing til the end.

Whoop! Hot as vindilu curry, baby!

You suck! And that dance crap. Tag Team singing Whoomp, There It Is! What a joke! Real musicians are starving while these synthesizers rebels (NOT!) are getting money for that crap. Piss off. Dance music is for dancing to, and if you want real dance music, (notthatAceofBasscrap) goto Graceland. Feast on that. Of course that's a bit too alternative for your average hip hop rap wannabe cheeseeating high school boy.

So the next time one of them passes you, roll down the window, crank up something heavy, pull up to them, laugh and then run them off the god-damned road. If you can, send a picture of the wreck to the CASCADE office addressed to Buzz & Skeeter.

Leave your name and number and we'll bring you a reward.

By Colleen Mah Definition of malice: the direct intention or desire.to harm others; evil intent. This Castle Rock Entertainment film, starring Alec Baldwin, Nicole Kidman and Bill Pullman is a suspenseful thriller, thoroughly corrupted with "malicious intent."

The story begins with a husband and wife (Pullman & Kidman), happily Ii ving in the "teacher-marries-student" scenario.

Pullman plays a quiet, spineless husband who teaches at the local college. Although he has the spirit of a jellyfish, he has his morals intact, and manages to catch a psycho killer on the rampage. Kidman on the other hand, volunteers her time working with children, and generally dominates the couple's relationship.

Sugar and spice, and all that's nice, right? Well the fact is that this little lady's got more up her sleeve, than you could ever imagine. But all hell does not break loose, until an old schoolmate moves in. This is, of course, none other than Alec Baldwin.

Baldwin manages to charm everyone with his charismatic qualities, and egotistical God-complex. The storyline jumps around a lot, but it's worth the effort to keep up with it. I don't want to give away too much for those who haven't seen it, but Pullman learns a lot about his wife in amatterof days. And she ain't just "sugar and spice." Pullman manages to shed the jellyfish syndrome, and by the end of

the movie I guarantee that you'll be proud of him.

I must admit that I was rather skeptical at first of seeing this movie.

My former impression of Nicole Kidman was that she was simply a Tom Cruise coat hanger, in other words her acting abilities were "zip." After seeing MALICE, my opinion has totally changed. Forget Tom Cruise, thiswoman'sgoingplaces! Shecomes across as a first-class bitch. As Pullman's wife, you'll hate her. As an actress, you'll think she's great.

The only problem I encountered with this movie was the rating. In the United States, MALICE is restricted.

Here in Canada, it is fourteen years.

There was far more than "occasional" nudity and "suggestive" scenes. Sure, you can see this stuff all in a days worth of TV, but if we're going to rate them, let's do it right. Otherwise, what's the point?

I had an "expert" see the show with me, D. Lagan, Assistant Manager, TowneCinema4. Healsothoughtthat the rating was too slack as well.

Besides this minor fact, I found the movie MALICE to be one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.

My advice? Rent it. It's worth the money.. And the lingering camera shotofBaldwin'sbuttisaniceaddition as well.

identify the disease as a primarily gay disease. What gives here? Anal sex is medically recognized as the No. 1 way to transmit the disease, followed by using infected needles at No. 2.

The Laboratory Centre for Disease Control reports that of all the A.I.D.S. cases reported in Canada, homosexuals, bisexuals, and drug users make up 84% of that total.

Heterosexual partners make up 4%.

The facts are in: A.I.D.S. is primarily a gay disease. Yet the mighty A.I.D.S. P.R. machine continues to propagate the semi-true idea that "Anyone can get A.I.D.S. Anyone."

The B.C. Lung Association, in comparison, states that "Anyone can get lung cancer. Anyone." The medical community has shown a definite link between smoking and lung cancer.

Smokers are told of the risks frankly; so to it should be about A.I.D.S. But all we get are convoluted messages and watered~down facts.

"The virus doesn't care about age, sex, or race," one pamP.hlet reads.

Th.is messag~ shrewdly ignores the fact that A.I.D.S. in Canada is very much a gay 'dise,ase chiefly spread through anal sex. , .

disease, cancer, diabetes, drunk driving, or even suicide. Despite what the A. I.D.S. P.R. mact\ine has spit out, there are greater killers out there that we should be more concerned about.

Just look at the number of women who have died of breast cancer since the first A.I.D.S. case was diagnosed in Canada: 60,000.

To make matters even more dubious, close to 50% of this funding for A.I.D.S. doesn't even go anywhere near research, epidemiological monitoring, or direct care, treatment and support of persons with A.I.D.S. Some examples are rather amusing. $35,000 of your tax dollars paid for a six-month puppet road show calledPuppetswithAIDSTour. Totally educational, right. And the show was even imported from South Africa! $50,000- again your tax dollars - went to a group whose purpose was to promote "safer sex" among homosexuals who "frequent saunas" in Montreal. Interesting. And these are just a few of the expenditures o'f the great A.I.D.S. campaign!

An Angus Reid poll recently showed that 75% of those polled think thatA.I.D.S. funding should be a higher priority for the Canadian government.

Television, radio, magazine and literarycontentfromsouthof the border fills our collectivepsyche, forming a frameworkwith which we judge our own culturalyield.

Ofcourse,this phenomenonhas been well documented,and the debate rages on.

Thereal questionbegs,why wouldwe wantto compete(or compare)withthe American cultural vacuum, on their terms? To compete with Hollywood for example,is to acknowledgeit as a cultural entity worth emulating. Of course,thisis ridicu~ous, as Hollywood is a cultural wastelancl~ which churns

our countlessformulaic,insipid films every year, with the only apparent motive being profit. It is a distinct victory of the art of business over the businessof art.

Canadais slowlycarvingour its place as a fertile breeding ground for artists, filmakers, poets, musicians, writers, etc. The new breed of Canadianartistsare motivated by a desiretounderstand their country, their fellowcitizens,and ho.~fa,:}!{! indeed theirculture.

For the most part, monetarygains are simply not part of the scenario. Canadiansneed to turn theirattentiontotheseartists,musicians etc. who choose to practice their craft at home.

The CASCADE Welcomes Letters To Ed. All Letters must be typed and double spaced, and include your name, phone# and studeQt#.

All Letters will be published verbatim.

Dear Ed.: In respon~e to Rpse Sone's response. to_ "Human Interest?", Nov.17 ,i_~sue;·t ~u,~t begin by thanking her for responding. She is· th.e only person who has thought the issues presented jmport@t enough to . respond, and for this I am extremely sincere.in my gratitude ..

Some of · her comments, however, beg.a number ofquestions.

For starters, why is it~ if we are really "thinking Christians", that the ecumenical ..Church today simply accepts, without any serious opposition, the deadlines of the structureddomination all around it?

Although there may well be, in Rose's circle, a lot of "thinking Christians", Christianity today, as a body of believers, has basically become a civil religion. Few Christians today recognize that Christianity was built upon the Jewish prophetic tradition (prophets like Jeremiah, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Micah, and particularily Jesus), a tradition that seriously challenged all structures of domination. tntimately, what the depth of the Christian tradition will reveal is that authentic Christianity will never seperate the inner search for personal peace fromthe quest for ju-stice in th~ political sphete: The· Church today, with someexceptions, has turned ever more inward, refusing to acknowled,e its serious obligations to the political realm it has been "placed" in.

Moreover, althoush it is posaible that I may be 10mewhat paranoid, whatis absolutely certain is that this paranoia ii JIil mediainduced. . If anytbina, the exact opposite is true. One quick look at Canada's serious role in the Indonesian slaqhter of the E. Timorese, and the virtual media blackout surroundin, it, will reveal that it is not media eupration that should cause concern, but media ignorance, or, in some casea, media agenda-setting.

The fact of the matter is that we have inherited a system that dictates local activities have serious ripple effects around the world, more often than not, · seriously horrific effects.

Correspondingly, the plight of the millions suffering aroundthe world today cannot begin to be addressed through, in your words, "seeing people through". This is in no way meant to denigrate the personal, local, reespondsibilities we as humans have. I have volunteer tutored, spent summers counselling at children's camps, been actively involved with Amnesty International, and have, together with my wife, two very young children. Believe me, I recognize what "seeing people through" means, and this approach is usually, when available, the best approach to take.

The problem is that this approach is

Dear Ed, A reply to Cheryl.

My response to your initial letter was in no way meant as a personal attack. My intention was not to belittle or question your motives, it was to question your use of the english language.

While you yourself appear to be a secure lesbian, your target audience may not be and that is why I will maintain that your use of the word "dyke" is perhaps less helpful to your cause. In fact "dyke" could be identified as an inhibitor.

As well, I ask of you to jµstify the use of "herstory" and "wimmin" for "history" and women". Again, I plead this is a case of semantics and not ofany real consequenceto anyone.

Wearefightingthesamebattle for women. A battle whose lines shouldn't divide us by who we choose to love.

We are still women. And to that end I hope you and any other interested individuals will me celebrate the living and remember the dead on December 6. The anniversary of the Montreal Massacre.

Lady Cascades Puininel Cotnpetition, Finish Third Despite Going Undefeated UCFV Dominates Soccer Pitch at Malaspina

By Jeff Tisdale The Lady Cascades had a date with destiny in the second week of November. They were on their way to their first National Tournament to play against teams from across the country.

The first match of the tourney for the Lady Cascades was against the Sherbrooke College Voluntaires of Quebec. 1bey could not have met a tougher opponent in the first round. The Voluntaires were ranked number two in the nation all year and entered the tournament seeded as the number one team.

The first twenty y minutes was not a very typical one for both sides, perhaps due to surging adrenaline or plain nervousness. Both squads had numerous mental. lapses and executed poorly. There were even reports of Coach Tom Past's hair greying and falling out by the second. However, as the game progressed the tempo smoothed out and the flow of play was dominated by UCFV, as is evident in there 27 - 12 shots on goal advantage. Yet when this game ended something weird happened to the final score: it failed to change from the opening whistle. What this meant to those other teams who were set to play UCFV was not weird, but in fact it was-typical - they were scared.

The next day, Thursday, was a bye for UCFV. Soccer still weighed heavy on their minds as they watched the Voluntaires pummel an Alberta club 4 - 0. Because the format of the tournament was dictated on total goals scored, UCFV needed a margin of victory of four goals if they planned to keep pace with the Quebec side.

Friday meant that it was game day and as LA Raider boss Al Davis once put it, '1ust win baby" was the order of the day. The game was a much more wide open affair with the

Lady Cascades dominating the play from the get go. UCFV played the Alberta team like a drum, banging in goal after goal. Lisa Broad, Nicole Goertzen and Bianca Wilkinson (twice) etched their names on the scorer's sheet next "goal scored by ... " They had reached their goal, when, with only a few minutes remaining in the game, IT happened. An Alberta player was seriously injured resulting in a lengthy delay in the game. Suddenly the enormous momentum that UCFV had built up was gone and Alberta managed to squeak one past Cascade keeper Rose Phillip-Stewart. 1beir four goal lead was gone and so was any chance of playing in the championship game. 1be feeling among the players was as if they had been kicked in the stomach.

The UCFV ladies could easily have folded and not focused on their next game because it was not the game which they had set out to bein. Naturally, theywouldhavenopart of this scenario, because it does not matter who they are playing or what they are playing for, these ladies play to win. As a result, they had to settle for a chance to win the bronze medal.

The rival this time was the Falcons of Fanshaw College in Ontario. Displaying their true character ~d grit, the Cascades spanked them 5 - 0. Mona Meyles, Jo-anne Radcliff, Terri Wethersett and Lisa Broad (twice) scored the goals for the Cascades.

They finished the National Championship tourney undefeated and outscored their opponents 9 - 1. It was only the incredible performance of the Quebec side which kept them out of the championship game.

This was a great finish to an incredible season. Just to play in the Nationals is quite a feat, and to come home with a medal around yom neck is a bonus.

Congratulations on a wonderful season; you all were great ambassadors for UCFV.

CHRISTMAS~~~~~~~ Tis The Season To Party

Wild and wonderful

By Monique Marchant

Christmas is just a few weeks away, and for students it brings a brief, but much needed, break frqm the insanity of what the end of the fall semester brings. All students are familiar with the ingredients of what we are served. A couple of final papers, a long forgotten but recently re-discoveredproject, a few final exams, or four, or five ...

Never fear, sanity is just around the corner. December 17 is the last possible day for exams and then we are free until January 10.

What you do with this period of sanity 'is up to you, but chances are that sometime between Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day, you will change itto insanity. Go forit, you deserve it. Have fun, be wild and crazy, do something silly (but remain responsible at all times, of course).

Some people have a difficult time getting into the spirit of Christmas.

If you're one of these people, then have I got an idea for you. It is fun, requires absolutely no talent, can be done with any number of friends, and is cheap. Go Christmas Caroling!

Yes, I'm serious. And don't say that you can't sing, because it

ways with which to share the Christmas joy

honestly doesn't matter. People look for good sports in carolers, not professional singers. The Christmas spirit puts some sort of spell on the ears of the audience of carolers where everything sounds good, so go forit! The best way to recuperate is hot chocolate!

One thing that is almost always on the mind of a student is how to balance their budget. The concept of keeping within a budget can be completely. destroyed by Christmas gift buying. If you have a group of friends who will all be buyinggiftsforeachother,it'sgoing to get quite costly. This is where the excuse to have a party comes in.

There are two ways in which this problem can be solved. The first way is to have everyone drawanameoutofahat. The name that they draw is the person for whom they buy a gift. To make things fair, a price range should be agreed upon. It should also be decided on as a group whether or not labels saying who the present is from should be put on. Make sure, though, that they say who they are to! Then someone has a party where everyone gets to open their gifts.

The second way of dealing with this problem is, in my opinion, alotmore fun, althoughafriend has described it as being "cruel." First

of all, a price range is agreed upon for buying gifts. Any range can be used, buta$5-$8limithasproduced some of the best gifts in my experience, and has also resulted in excellent bargain buys. Keeping within the deiced range, everyone goes and buys a gift. If it is a group of men and women, the gift must be unisex. The gifts are wrapped, but not labeled.

Next is everyone's favorite part: throw a party. Sometime during the party, everyone draws a number, with the numbers corresponding to the number of people present. The person with #1 goes to.the tree and chooses a gift, then opens it. Person #2 can either

By Shirzad A. & David Thiessen

" I n 1848 Henry David Thoreau coined the phrase "Civil Disobedience"; he used it as a title for an essay he wrote to explain why he had for several years refused to pay his taxes. This essay was to have a profound affect upon many politically conscious people throughout the nineteenth and twentieth century, two of the more famous people deeply moved ·to action by the essay were Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. In the essay, Thoreau strongly asserted the need for a people to resist injustice when their own government is perpetuating the injustice. Essentially, he was asking the question "who is really a criminal", one of the single most important questions the world has everfaced. Whoisreallyacriminal?

Who is really a terrorist? .. These questions must be asked if we are ever going to claim that democracy is our goal.

Thus when we are faced with an utterly disgusting cartoon - like the one reproduced here - ( above. right, Vancouver Sun, Nov .10), how are we to respond? Somehow so many writers (cartoonists), - many of them, by the way, American seem to conveniently forget that Ireland is still being "colonized" today. Yet at the very same time, every fourth of July, Americans celebrate their "freedom struggle" in 1776 from the ''tyranny" of the English empire. In 1775, a year before the American Revolution began, Patrick Henry, in a passionate plea to Congress TO SEP ARA TE FROM ENGLAND, cried these words: "GenHemen may cry, Peace, Peace, but there is no peace ... Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others take, but as for me, give me liberty or death!" And this, from not a "colonizW" but a "colonizE..R" !

And we wonder why the Irish continue to struggle?

Ireland was the first (900 years ago) colony of England and it is the last. People in Ireland today who speak out against the oppression of even the most basic political and civil rights (the vast majority of them protestnon-violently)arefaced with imprisonment, torture, and other forms of serious human rights violations, without any legal protection whatsoever. The average English police officer has the legal right to search, confine, and arrest anyone he thinks.might be involved

in activities that threaten "national interest". This we simply never hear about. We constantly hear about IRA activities, but when do we hear that in the last 10 months at least 41 Irish civilians were killed, 73 attempted killings, and 31 bombing campaigns, all by the hands of English "loyalists".

We are constantly told this is a religious struggle (somehow this is supposed to make us ignore it) when in reality it is a serious struggle by England to maintain power. Peace, if England really wanted it, could have come a long time ago.

The same can be said for the Kurdish situation. For over seventy years they have been bombarded (literally) from four sides simultaneously. Throughout these years the Kurds have been beaten, tortured, had their villages literally bulldozed to the ground, napalmed (despite the fact chemical warfare

was banned by the U .N .) and children tortured in front of their parents' eyes. Where were these wonderfully talented cartoonists then? A few weeks ago a number of Kurdish activists bombed several Turkish embassies. For the first time the Kurds took their struggle outside the land of their oppressors (in reality, though, the embassies are owned by the oppressors). Their reward: Hundreds of Kurdish killed, families left homeless, wives and children left without husbands, and many, many tortured. Do we really think they did not know these would be repercussions? If we are at all serious about understanding what these things mean we must question why the Kurds - or the Irish - would subject themselves to this kind of reprisal. We must also seriously question why, after years of Turkish oppression, after they killed thousands of innocent civilian Kurds (many of which were mere children),

were there no "cartoons" depicting their actions. The reason is they are our good clients, and they are home to a huge American military base.

The Economistcalls them "a solid democracy, ready to enter the 'New' NATO." This, quite honestly, is vulgar and disgusting.

In Somalia, an effort that began as a U .N. humanitarian effort has turned into an effort by the U.S.A. to "get their man". They have been so embarrassed globally that all efforts to help the Somalians have been forgotten in an effort to save face.

This would make an excellent cartoon, yet non appears. The Baltic fiasco, by being very different than the others depicted in this cartoon, serves to think the Irish and Kurdish struggle to grotesque notion of expansion and aggression. Thus the average reader will connect actual Serbian "rape" and "plunder" with the activities of actual freedom fighters. I talso serves, however, to tie a much more "factual" link: the fact that the United States of America is involved in every single one of these events. This, if nothing else, must raise some eyebrows., E S S E N T I A L L Y-, HOWEVER, WE ARE NOT WRITING THIS TO CONDONE VIOLENCE. What we are demanding is that if we are ever going to talk about these struggles, or any others like them, IT MUST BEDONEINCONfEXT! Anything else, and it is hard to overstress this, will lead -us dangerously close to seriously wcivil obedience. It was St. Augustine, in the 5th. century A.D., that wrote: Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale ... [A] King asked [a pirate], "what is your idea, in infesting the sea?" And the pirate answered with uninhibited insolence, ''The same as yours, in infesting the earth!

But because I do it with a tiny craft I am called a pirate; because you have a mighty navy, you are called an emperor".

We thought another cartoon might suggest a more "real" reality.

The Irish or Kurdish activist plants a bomb; we call them terrorists.

The United States drops TWO bloody atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, wreaking unfathomable anguish on hundreds of thousands of innocent mothers and children and farmers, and we merely call them victors? Something here is horribly wrong.
