CHil.LIW ACK- More than $20 million bas been awarded for major construction attheChilliwackandAbbotsfordcampuses of the University College of the Fraser Valley as part of the BC 21 economic initiative, Skills, Training and Labour Minister Dah Miller announced Tuesday, Feb. 1.

Miller and his Parliamentary Secretary Dennis Streifel, MLA for Mission-Kent, unveiled displays of the two new buildings during a news conference at the University College of the Fraser Valley Chilliwack campus.

The Chilliwack Multi-purpose Complex will include a performing arts theatre, cafeteria, student services area, classrooms, science and computer laboratories and a bookstore.

.

The Abbotsford Learning Centre, now under construction, will house a library, a tutorial centre for writing and mathematics, and multi-media centre and an electronic classroom. ''The Fraser Valley is the fastest growing region in this province," said Miller. "Our government has made a commitment to ensuring the needs of all students in this dynamic region are being met."

"In addition to these new projects, two child care centres are nearing completion, one on theChilliwack campus and one on the Abbotsford campus," said Streifel. "All projects demonstrate a longterm goal of the government's BC 21 strategy; by helping parents, particularly single parents, to attend post-secondary education and training, the government helps to ensure that they will have the skills necessary to support their families."

Learning Center offers technology, -with a vie-w

By Doug Colby The library at the University College of the Fraser Valley has been growing along with the rest of the insitution, so much so that it will be moving to a brand new building in 1995.

Construction has begun on a new 48 900 sq. ft. library at U.C.F.V. Abby Campus. Located on the eastern side of the E building lounge, the state-of-the-art facility will boast a teleconferencing room, and a library orientation classroom.

But the new Leaming Center, designed by James KM Cheng Architects, will be more than a traditional library. In addition to housing books, journals, and audio/video material, it will also be home to writing and math centers, where students will go for help in those subjects.

The building is slated for completion sometime near April 1995, 61 weeks from now. Cost of the project is estimated ast $10.8 million.

Betty Harris, Head Librarian at Abby Campus, is excited about the new project. She notes "the main thing will be space, but it will also be a high tech electronic-type facility. Not only will we have an adequate collection here, but we will provide access to all the other resources

of other libraries, and the Internet.

Eventually, our goal is to keep it open 18 hours a day so that students can come in when the rest of the campus is

dosed."

The Internet is a big part of the new "information highway", and it will be available right here at Abby.

The Abby library will also set a new standard with "quiet study rooms", "group study rooms", and, as Harris says, "a special study area for students with disabilities".

"The Leaming Center is a nice expression of the quantitative growth that UCFV is undergoing."- said UCFV President Peter Jones.

Chilliwack Campus is getting a shiny new library of their own, which will also be a state-of-the-art facility.

Architectural plans for the Abby library show a two story structure, with a massive curved glass wall facing the mountains, and a possible atrium style circular front entrance, going up to the second story ceilini And of course there will also be books, somewhere in the ambitious undertaking.

The next building slated for construction in Abbotsford is a$1 0million, 3 storey, 66,000 sq. ft. classroom block.

Pay-parking commences Feb.14

By Bryan Sikora The long-awaited payparking hasfinally arrived ... sort of. As everyone discovered February 1, no ticket machinescould be found on campus from which to take our money in return for parking stubs.

The signs explaining that in order to park on campus, a parking ticket would be required under threat ofbeing towed have been installed.

They were covered in plastic bags, which Bryan Sikon Photo had been ripped off a few signs.

These hooded signs will be revealed February 14.

This caused some commotion Happy Valentines Day, UCFV students between students and faculty.

Official word is that the been post-poned until February 14, 1994. Happy starting date for the pay parking Valentine's Day!" hasbeen pushed back.

ABE students respond to changing communities theme In keeping with the UCFV theme for 93/IJ4, students in ABE English classes on the Abbotsford campus have adopted "Our Changing Communities" as their theme for reading, discussing, and researching in this year's studies.

Instructors Trudy Archie and Heather Stewart have encouraged their students to choose novels with a community theme, to discuss community issues, and to become better acquainted with their own Fraser Valley communities.

Stewart was especially impressed by the efforts and quality of the following

iberal education as hegemony ...

By Ron Dart Modern education is a system of imposed ignorance.

-N. Chomsky After many centuries of theological imperialism, we have now had three centuries of an even more aggressive 'scientific imperialism~ and the result is a degree of bewilderment and disorientation.

-F. Schumacher We are in danger of forgetting, and such an oblivion-quite apart from the contents themselves that could be lostwould mean that, humanly speaking, we would deprive ourselves of one dimension, the dimension of depth in human existence. For memory and depth are thf! same, or rather, depth cannot be reached by people except through remembrance.

-Hannah Arendt The liberal idea of education emerged at a period of western history when the west was reassessing its tradition.

Many 'enlightenment' thinkers viewed themselves as poised on the cusp of unfolding history; the 'dark ages' were behind, and the dawn of a new and better era was about to appear. The dominant creed of the time was shaped by science, and the scientific elite of the time bad the greatest faith in such notions as objectivity, value free knowledge, empirical reason and facts. Four axial truths stepped forth at this time, and each of these assumptions guide us today. First, European culture was perceived as the centre and apex of human history. Second, history as a fount of accumulated wisdom was dismissed as irrelevant; history as progress was in fashion.

Third, religion bad to be excommunicated from the new world (Voltaire, Marx, Freud, Nietzsche) or domesticated (Hobbes, Locke, Lessing, Rousseau). Fourth, science (pure and applied) linked up with the state and industry to form the new messianic Trinity. · Modemeducationbas,predictably, internalized these strategic values, and in doingso,manufactureditsownhegemonic and imperial standards. The institutional infrastructure of liberal education is authoritarian and rigidly hierarchical, and this approach to learning gives the green light (and ample funding) to certain kinds of knowledge and a flashing yellow light or red light to lesser or inferior types of knowledge. The fact that science is the unquestioned captain on the ship of modem liberal education has meant, on the one hand, we suffer from a severe case of cultural amnesia (science is a-historical)

and, on the other hand, science predefines what is and is not acceptable and valid knowledge. The priests of science have created their own pyramid of knowledge, and whatever does not accord with the canon is either exorcised or minimized.

The hierarchy of liberal education looks like this, and the greenbacks are handed out according to where a discipline is placed on the new chain of being.

Natural Sciences Social Sciences Humanities Philosophy Religious Studies Excluded: Theology Contemplation The authoritarian nature of liberal education has not led to an opening of the mind; in fact, we live in an era of increasing ignorance. The bard sciences have set the standard, and for most of the 20th century, the social sciences and humanities have tried to justify their existence within, the criteria set by the natural sciences.

Economics, of course, plays a crucial role in all this. It is ironic that science, although in principle claiming to be open-minded, has subordinated or banished many areas of learning within its imperial domain.

This is understandable, though, when we realize that more than 9 5 % of all science is applied (not pure or philosophical) and an estimated .65-70% of science is a docile servant of the military. When scientists with a conscience, like Sakharov, Einstein or Pauling rebel against this assigned role, they are quickly marginalized.

Important texts in the philosophy of science such as M. Polyani's Personal Knowledge: Towards a Post-Critical Philosophy (1958) and T. Kuhn's The Structure of Scieniijic Revolutions (1970) have clearly articulated the personal, perspectival, and tentative nature of authentic science. Tl\e ominous link between science, technology and the development industry has been painstakingly probed in A. Nandy's Science, Hegemony and Violence: A RequiemforModemity(I988)andScience, Development and Violence (1992), by C. Alvares, and Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology (1993) by Neil Postman; such books as the above clearly prove that science is subjective, laden withvalues and serves vested interests. The notion that science stands above and beyond the fray is a position that only the most gullible' and naive can believe.

Modern liberal education is authoritarian and hierarchical, but it is also consciously fragmentary. Disciplines often operate independent of one another, and the modem cult of specialization has created a more sophisticated sport of 'cloistered virtue.' This obstinate refusal of many academics to sally forth into the bigger questions of interdisciplinary learning has had a disastrous impact on the significance

"The disturbing fact that science dominates the educational landscape has meant, when funds are distributed . .. .. science sets the agenda. " and meaning of learning. F. Bacon, a founder of science in the 16th century, insisted that scientists .should not concern themselves with how their research was going to be used. Bacon further argued, in NewAtlantis, that a scientific elite, in the service of the king, should rule the new world that was emerging in the 16th-17th 1century. The cutting of the thread between knowledge and wisdom led to the fisherman's know of knowledge and power. Bacon and Machiavelli were the supreme apologists of this position, an most forms of modem science continue to keep the know tight. A cautious study of More's !.1wma (1516), Mackiavelli's ~ ~ (1513) and Bacon's NewAtlantis (1626) clear1y hig~lights how More clung tightly to the notion that knowledge must be put in the service of wisdom, whereas Machiavelli and Bacon anticipated a world of science, power, the state and industry.

The lives of these three men, also reveals how ideas impact the exacting demands of realpolitik. · The disturbing fact that science dominates the educational landscape has meant, when funds are distributed and knowledge disbursed, science sets the agenda. A survey of any university in the west (funding, courses taught, staff in departments) clearly demonstrates that the humanities, philosophy and religious studies, for example, have been, increasingly so, banished to the outskirts of the modern world; they are forced, like the poor man, to beg for scraps from the rich man's table. These facts should alert

us to the agenda (not so hidden), glaring prejudices and hegemonic nature of modem liberal education.

European culture, in the Enlightenment, decided to hitch its destiny to science, and in doing so, much hidden knowledge has been discovered, but much wisdom has been lost, buried or forgotten.

When cultures or knowledge, foreign to the west, question the hegemony of liberal education, the reply is usually some insignificant token to mute criticisms; the structure, though, remains intact.

Although liberalism claims to be concerned about pluralism and tolerance, this defense is only true on secondary or tertiary issues; on substantive or primary issues, liberalism will not negotiate or tolerate any challenge to the hegemony of science, state security, 1stworld dominance of a feudal world order and the messianic role of industry. Science, the state and industry quickly link affectionate hands to form a barricade against any and all intruders, and liberal education plays its dutiful role in echoing the values of its master.

In conclusion, liberal education as hegemony is about knowledge as power rather than knowledge as wisdom.

Liberalism, rhetoric aside, is not about freedom, equality, solidarity, conscience and reason; it is about the power of the state, science and industry to redefine and reshape our intellectual an physical environment. Unfortunately, education, rather that being a gadfly in this process, has played the role as a cheerleader.

Will a gymnasium be the answer?

It's been over three and a half years since I was part of an ecstatic, jump-up-and-scream school crowd.

Many times I have cheered on community teams, from the Abbotsford Airforce (footQall) to the Vancouver Canucks (hockey). But it was the spring of 1990 that I last cheered on my school's sports squads.

That is, until Saturday, the 29th of January.

The UCFV Cascades were playing the Trinity Western University's Spartans. The men's and women's basketball teams were playing their usual doubleheader.

I arrived at the beginning of the men's game. The Lady Cascadeshad earlier beaten the

Lady Spartans.

The crowd had a distinct buzz about it as they awaited the opening tip-off.

During the first half, I took a few photographs for the CASCADE. Leaving my courtside position, I took a seat in the stands.

By this time, the Spartans had rallied from a moderate deficit to make the remaining minute or so a teeter-totter event.

The crowd was crazy.

Every play caused the crowd to rise to its feet; screaming; shouting; stomping their feet.

The collective adrenalin of the fans began pumping as the seconds ticked away. 4 ... 3 . . . 2 ... 1 .. one last shot, which

rimmed out ••• 0. The game was over; the score: 69 - 68.

The crowd went berserk.

They swarmed the floor and congratulated their team.

Unfortunately, I could not join them.

The last shot was one from our own #24, Mark Wapples.

We had lost.

The intense crowd was Trinity's own, as this game was played in the home gymnasium of T.W.U. It was an incredible sight.

Something I had hoped to see at our own home-court games.

But this is not to be. The "Apathy Syndrome" has found a willing and compatible host here at UCFV, and the surrounding

community.

The vast majority of students don't care, therefore the local media don't care.

Is there a cure to .this contagious disease? Peoplesay if we get our own gym, then the spirit will rise. I certainly hope so, because it's rather sickening attending a school that has almost no spirit!

A big hand, though, to those dedicated people who make their way to these school events. They know who they are, and everyone involved with the Athletics Department, Activities, and the CASCADE thanks them and congratulates them! '

Unlikely love in unlikely places

By Doug Colby Nietsche had it all wrong.

Love is dead.

No pulse.

No vital signs.

With apologies to the other fine scribes who grace the pages of this issue with their talk of so-called love and all the ompanying detri~s. I find it is all an · lusion; a mere reflection of our deepest pes and desires.

In a world full of Bobbits, ardings, Jacksons, Television, Bosnianerbs conflicts, and Jeffrey Dahlmers, ove is cast off as an ephemeral entity. If

love is the glue which holds the house together, how can you ignore the leaky plumbing, faulty electrical and lack of insulation. At least in the sense of Valentines Day. Why celebrate Valentines day?

Well naturally because our consumerdriven, corporation-governed, morally bankrupt society tells us to.

Once a year, it is imperative to tell your significant other that you love him/her, buy flowers, extravagant gifts and dinner, because this keeps our consumer society going. Especially if you use your credit card.

What about the other 364 1/4 days? Well, a Canadian divorce rate

currently in tl!e 50% range answers that query. The situation isn't all bleak, however. Sometimes I find instances of pure, real love in the most unlikely places.

For instance there was the little boy in East Vancouver who walked into the Downtown Eastside Residents building, and with a smile on his face, and no false motives in his heart, handed over his prized coin bank, simply because there were people who needed it more than him.

Or the Olympic Bobsledder in war torn Sarajevo, who works out every single day in a gutted high-rise, while gun shots and mortar explosions threaten a few feet outside. He is trapped in the city, and the chances are slim to none that he will

survive his attempt to escape from the city, as he makes a run for the border, on foot. But he will try, regardless.

Then there was the man in Los Angeles who single handedly rescued seven people from the rubble of a collapsed apartment building. He did it, he said, becausehehadtoo. For him, there was no other option.

These are examples of love. Love for humanity, love for life, love for your

neighbor.

It's funny, but we don't have a special day for these people. But it's just as well, considering it would probably be sponsored by Coke and feature a Geraldo special.

Think about it, if I knew anything (if I could at least fool anyone into thinking I knew anything) about the topic, would I be sitting here, dwelling on albums, and living vicariously through the words of another?

NO! I'd be with some nubile young woman who bas no opinions about penis size. But enough of all this ... What is assembled before you is a list of points that occur in a common relationship, and the songs which correspond.

once again we are forced to face issues of relationships and love. What exactly this bas to do with Canadian music, I have no bloody idea. Most love songs, Canadian or otherwise, are usually pathetically lame (i.e. all Rod Stewart, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Meat Loaf, most Paul McCartney songs, and especially Michael Bolton).

Most of these performers just have to throw the words love, baby, or heart in a song and they've wrapped up another #1 bit It's not the quality of the singing that is the problem with most of their songs, but the total lack of heart. By this, I mean that you can bear the line, " I'd die for you"

Cl

only so many times before you become numb to all those consistently sappy singers. To contrast, I'd like to recommend a couple of obscure songs thatreally have some meaning: Leonard Cohen's"Suzanne",andTom Cochrane's "All the King's Men." It's nice to bear songs that sound like they've come from actual experiences.

Sorry, no reviews this issue, as my wallet is still suffering from post-Christmas depression. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone special!

Blue Light Special

Special day means cookies, bubblebath

By Michelle Demers If you choose to believe all the hype-apparently Valentine's Day is around the comer.

A day to celebrate love, life, attraction and commitment Particularly with the individual upon who you bestow these wonderful traits.

Forthoseofuswhochoosetottavel through life solo, this holiday sucks. Who says you have to have someone in your life? What's wrong with buying yourself flowers and chocolates?

Evenifinarelationship-whybuy (lowers and chocolates?

Both are expensive and very disposable-not something you care to characterize your relationship as.

As for public confessions of love and affection-bow especially personal, especially when thousands of people drive by the billboanl you rented for the occasion.

For single people like me, this holiday is the chance to indulge ourselves guilt free-a quiet candlelight dinner,

breakfast in bed, a bubble bath. What we want when we want it This also means no tacky lingerie, no cheesy love songs and no cheap perfume.

And even if we choose to end our solo journey we still are exempt from the sucky celebrations-we send our Valentines aoonymously!

So on Feb. 14 celebrate your day yourway. Becreative! Befromtheheart.

For those cynics out there take heart-it ·only lasts 24 hours.

Michelle's hints for last minute cheapValentines: 1.

Make your Valentines yourself-it's much more romantic.

2. Send dried flowers-they last longer and fall under the romantic/ Victorian category.

3. Instead of a dozen roses and chocolates why not send a bouquet of a dozen chocolate chip cookies-Cookies

By George are particularly delicious.

4. Rather than an expensive dinner-how about a picnic? See Good Eats With Jill for details.

Free information session·s!

On Wednesday, February 16th, representatives from U.Vic., U.B.C., S.F.U., S.F.U.-P.D.P Program, T.W.U., B.C.I.T., and the University of Northern B.C. will be here. They will be at the Abbotsford Campus form 8:30 am. to 12:00 p.m. and the Cbilliwack Campus from 1:30 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. to speak to interested students about their institutions.

The four major areas of interest are: Arts; Education; Business and

RHINO

Commerce; and Science/ Applied Science/ Kinesiology. The four areas for B.C.I.T. are Health; Engineering; Trades; and Business. The .four times have been staggered so the students will be able to attend more than one session of their choice at different institutions.

tudent gallery displays wealth of talent A newcomer to fine art, (such as myself), may be stopped in his tracks, ■ Story by Doug Colby and challenged to talce a ■ Photos by Bryan Sikora closer look into the divergent expressions and minute detail which radiate from a series of prints and paintings on display in the Abby Fine Art Gallery (A 132). We are seduced by the neorealist images of human anatomy, which force us to observe, to question, and, ultimately, to discover a logical reference point for self-understanding.

Faculty advisor Bruce Pashak encouraged his students to utilize mixed media to create a figurative image, which in turn would create a new aesthetic, by recognition of the materials on their own.

The artists are 2nd year painting and printmaking students, who have chosen a subtle use of charcoal, pencils, erasers (a unique effect), black and white paint, and some recycled paper, put to an interesting use.

Overall, a dynamic and intriguing mix of exhibits, it is an excellent introduction to fine art for the artistic layman. Give it a try.

SIMPLY SUBLIME

GOOD EATS WITH JILL

Old-£ ashioned picnic serves up natural ambiance If love be the food of the soul ..

By Jill Bryant Valentine's Day is coming up, and

onthis day of kitschy cuteness, you will of course be schmoozing your significant other over some type of meal. Many of you will be wondering which restaurant would be appropriate for this activity, whichisof course why you are consulting this column. Totellyou the truth, I don't know if any mere restaurant can fit the bill on this occasion.

Therefore, I would liketopresentanalternative:TheRomantic Picnic.

When planning apicnic(and unless you are a totally spontaneous, fly-by-theseat-of-your-pants kind of couple, a good picnic talres planning), there arethree major considerations-what to eat, where to eat, and what to do other than eat In the first category. the possibilities are endless and therefore one must consider tastes, styles and preferences. There are some tried and true favorites, such as fried chicken, potato salad/coleslaw and biscuits (all are great homemade, but Col. Saunders also offers a reasonable alternative); or PB&J sandwiches, apples, chips and chocolate milk. If that sounds too much like a 10-

year-old' s brown bagger, you could always go a little more classy. Some favorites in this department include a baguette (the French bakery on Granville Island makes the very best; thanks M.), some brie ( that'sakindofcheeseforthoseofyouwho think culture is something that grows in a petri dish), pate, crackers and caviar, champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries. Ifyou do drink champagne or wine, don• t forget those little plastic wine glasseschampagne flutes are much too civilized (not to mention breakable) for a picnic, but drinking out of the bottle just doesn •t do it for the romance thing. For those back-tonature types, try trail mix (the kind with the Smarties), granola bars, S'mores, fruit salad and Gatorade. Or do the Roman thing-bring bunches of grapes to feed to your loved one (togas are optional). Then there's my personal favorite-a pint of Haagen Daz and two spoons (simple but effective).

Now for where to eat There are lots of romantic picnic spots around this area. but these are a few of my suggestions: the boardwalk on Mill Lake (gi:eat stargazing on a clear night, eh, B ?), Hogan Park, a private spot on the grounds of the monastery near Mission, a quiet enclave

"you should have a backup indoor spot picked out ... even· just at home in front of a-roaring fire.''

on the Chehalis River, Whitecliff Park in North Vancouver (go out onto the island to see the sea lions), Cultus Lake (an abundance of picnic table, and it's almost deserted this time of year), the beach at White Rock,thepieratSteveston, Harrison Lake, any playground with swings, or for the slightly more daring, go to a golf course at night and have the whole place, manicured lawns and all to yourselves.

Just don• t attract too much attention or you might get arrested for trespassing.

Now, we all know that the weather in February isn't all that predictable in B.C., so you should have a backup indoor spot picked out too • Some of the best are the mini-golf courses at Wonderland (try the cave on theJungleGolf course) or even just at home in front of a roaring fire.

Now for the final considerationwhat to do other than eat (I realize that this may be a wasted effort considering the spirit of the occasion and all, but a few suggestions anyways): read poetry (written by yourself or others); play chess, checkers, cards, Frisbee, etc.; talk about your childhood, dreams, most embarrassing moment, etc. However, if talking just isn •t on your mind at this moment, I'm sure you can think of something else to keep you busy! Don't forget to tell your significant other how much they mean to you, and may your Valentine's Day be.-filled with perfect, sunny picnic weather (but if not, just bring a reaily big umbrella). Keep an eye out for Cupid ...

By Buzz & Skeeter Oh, it's Valentine's Day, so I'm supposed to write about love. LOVE. What a shitty concept. I mean what the fuck do I know about love? As far as I've figured out, you spend a few· bucks on dinner, movies, and condoms and then get laid in the back of your car, in some park, a telephone booth, whatever's handy. No complaints-it works for me!

Butdon'tgetmewrong. Valentine's Day, I know, is notjustaboutlove, but also about appreciating the ones you want to love. Thus, I shall take this opportunity to write about music babes thatl would like to be with this Valentine's Day. First on the list is Kim Deal of the Breeders. Since I was a little teenage nerd listening to the Pixies, I've always loved Kim Deal. I still do, and in fact, I want her to have my children. Kim, I'll be your Divine Hammer!

Next is Kim's friend Tanya Donnelly, of Belly. Wow. One of the coolest concerts I've ever seen, and since then, I've had a crush on her about 8 inches long.

Then there is the only politically correct woman I'd ever want to be with, Sinead O'Connor. A Goddess amongst mortal women. What more need I say?

And don' tforget that great Canadian (no, notk.d. lang), Sarah McLaughlin. Oh, how I'd love to show her my appreciation for her music.

NextisJulianaHatfield. Quel babe!

Evan, move over ... here comes SKEETER! I'm ready, I'm willing and I'm able. And I want Juliana naked on my table.

And finally D'arcy, the bass player from the Smashing Pumpkins. Her and James Iha (guitarist of the same band) broke up last year, thus leaving room for this musical maniac.

Well, I could probably go on at length about more rock babes, but my hand is getting sore just thinking about those six ... So until next time folks, listen to me, cool music and if someone insists on you being politically correct just say "Hey man-RJCK OFF!

He does, she does Fascinating facts about Valentine's Day Although St. Valentine's Day is a well-established American holiday, little is know about the man after whom the day is named. Here are some answers to questions about St. Valentine and his day: Who was St. Valentine?

Valentine was a priest and physician who live in Rome during the third century. At that time, Christianity was a persecuted faith and Valentine was imprisoned. Whenhewouldnotrecant his faith, Valentine was putto death on .

February 14.

How did Valentine become the patron saint of lovers?

According to legend, when Valentine was a priest in Rome, Emperor Claudius II ordered young men not to marry, believing if they did not have wives, they would be more willing to go to war. Moved by compassion for the young lovers, Valentine married them secretly.

Why is February 14 associated with romance?

February 15 was the date set aside to honor the Roman god, Lupercus. On that day, young women would write love notes and deposit them in a large urn. Toe young men would take the notes out and then court the women whose messages they had drawn.

When Christianity became the official religion of Rome, the church merged theRomanholidaywiththemartyrdom of St. Valentine on February 14.

How did St. Valentine's Day spread to the U.S.?

Valentines came to the U.S. with the earliest English settlers.

John Winthrop, governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, wrote his wife: "February 14, 1629, Thou must be my Valentine."

Who sold the first commercial American valentines?

Esther A. Howland ·of Worcester, Mass., developed the first cards in 1847. That year, she sold an amazing $5,000 worth of cards. · Her fancy valentines made St. Valentine's Day very popular.

Soon · other manufacturers were making cards.

How many Valentine's Day cards are sold annually?

In 1993, one billion Valentine's Day cards were sold.

M.D. Mel

By A. Hewson Roy, Mark,Ed, Don, Jeff.

What do these names have in common? They were all guys I talked to on the Chatline.

Yes, that's right, in the name of investigative journalism, this intrepid reporter called Vancouver's "Foremost telephone Chatline."

You know, the ones you read about in the classified section or on the· back page of the weeklies? TheChatline where girls call free? (Yes that's rightgirls call for free. Like I'm going to pay for this pleasure-NOT! So much for equality.)

So I dialed. Make sure you have toll-free calling to Vancouver or else you'll have major toll charges.

The first voice to answer was the computer welcoming me to Vancouver's Chatline and encouraging me to record my introduction. An introduction thatis screened by the live operators to make sure a) that you are actually able to talk b) that you are over 18and female c) that your voice is suitable to make all those men continue to pay through the nose to hear you giggle.

After recording my introduction: 22 year old University student and hey-let's chat, I got to the best part of the whole call-the other introductions.

For this portion of the show you need a touch tone phone.

For the next half an hour I got to peruse the ads sending responses or blocking out annoying ads ("Hey girls, looking for some excitement on line or off. Let'sconnectandmaybegetbusy!").

Some of the adswere funny and sincere, but most were pathetic attempts at pick-ups. (Hey Don, I don't date truckers, especially 50 year old ones).

The caller actually was intelligent. We talked about politics and although he was a Presto-supporter he

actually seemed nice.

Before I had the chance to ask him why he called the Chatline (from Chilliwack no less!) , we were cut off-either he forgot to keep those quarters plugging or our conversation wasn't spicy enough for Big Brother.

So here I am, my ear getting numb without hearing what I assumed would be coming. That's right, after a half an hour no one had once talked dirty tome.

Was I disappointed? Not after Roy. Roy introduced himself as "an exciting black man who liked to party."

Who could resist that?

After introducing myself as a law-student at UBC and first time caller, Roy introduced me to his 8 3/4" and his desire to lick me allover. YaOK. Yes please, over the phone no less. Needless to say I hung up. I heard what I was expecting and a lot that I wasn •t.

It made for an interesting Sunday night but Chatlines aren't something I'd recommend to those guys on a budget-it can get expensive ($25 for 10 minutes).

As well, callers are tempted to get you to call them at home-not if you don't want to pay or if you don't want them to know your phone number (call display).

Apparently, theChatlineicalled has upwards of 1000 different male. callers a day- that's some serious coin. It makes you wonder about what kind of men are living around here.

Considering that there• s at least 7 chat lines, it won't be a small number.

Once was enough for me. I prefer to see the guys I'm chatting with. This experience will make me look twice at the guy sitting next to me on the bus.

Ifyoueverrunintoaguynamed Marie "with darlc hair, superb body, and a wonderful Italian physique," say hi from me and tell him if his mama can't make manicotti - then he• s no Italian.

"Roy introduced me to his 8 3/4 inches · and his desire to lick me all over. "

May all your hikes be sunny!

All Letters will be published verbatim.

Sitcoms & Dinosaurs Dear Editor: I wonder at David Thiessen's surprise (in the Jan. 12 "Human Interest") that more concern is generated when an issue hi ts an individual in the pocket book.

From my perch of 44 long years, it appears that self-interest is the prime motivator of thehumananimal-self-interestthatoften ignores others' rights.

I used to believe that parents, at least, would try to ensure the future of their children. Now I have finally had to accept that the 20th century parent, unlike the agrarian counterpart, has little need to ensure the health and long life of his/her offspring. The miracles of our modemday technology render the caring child obsolete. Why bother dealing with the environment respectfully and with thought for the future?

The private vehicle has become our almost constant companion, a private · and political resource-drain. That our dependence on it is costing future generations both clean air and their protection from the sun is an inconvenient aside. If we continue to be as singleminded as we presently appear, we may even be able to ensure the extinction of our kind.

Andconsideringthemajorartform of the last couple generations has been the sitcom, I wonder if it will be all that great

a loss. Interesting thoug~the dinosaur at least had the excuse of a small brain cavity.

• • •••••••••••••••••• Good Canadian, Good Government Dear Editor: It is with great concern that I read an article in the Province newspaper on Wednesday Jan. 19, 1994. A column in thebusinesssection,entitledSmartMoney,

by Brian Lewis, told of a significant incident that happened at 8:58 a.m. that day.

Our national debt clock hit 500 billion dollars. Let me repeat that for the sakeofreinforcement. $500,000,000,000!

Last time I checked, that was more money thanmostof us can physically comprehend.

Thatmeans that everyman, woman, and child in this country is in the hole more than $18,000.

Mr. Lewis points out some interesting facts about this sum of money: -"converted to $100 bills, you could pave the Trans-Canada Highway from here to Ottawa, or, laid end-to-end, the same bills would stretch to the moon and back.

-It's enough to buy every B.C. family a $280,000 house, with enough left over for

furniture.

The forecast $45 billion deficit this year that will be tacked on to the debt is enough to pay the salaries and expenses of 450,000 sleeping senators in Ottawa.

(What a horrible thought!)

And, if the deficit were eliminated, the average Canadian worker could see his or her taxes reduced by more than $3,600 per year. (What a lovely thought!)"

"It's now ticking away at a rate of $1,427 per second, $85,600 per minute, and $123 million per day."

I don't know how this situation makes other Canadians feel, but I am not exactly happy with this trend. I am ready to fight this problem.

Not that I am going to start sending cheques to Ottawa, but I am ready to · accept spending cuts, and I am ready to see the government putmymoney towards the debt.

For those readers who do not understand how this debt has came to be, let me explain. Every working Canadian earns a certain amount of money each year. Out of that income, the government takes taxes (income, GST, PST, etc.) All the taxes are the government's revenue.

With that revenue, our government runs all of its social programs, administrative duties, pays exorbitant salaries, pays exorbitant pensions, and basically attempts to organize our country in a fashion in which we, the Canadian citizens, really don't have much say.

The problem that has been escalating over past years; is that the government is spending more on Canada than it is receiving in revenue.

This situation is called deficit, and every year

this deficit is added on to our debt. Now that we are clear on that, let's go on.

Thi~ year, another $45 billion deficit will be added on to the National Debt.

That makes it $545,000,000,000. I guess that our government must be doing a horrible job, right? WRONG! Our governments, past and present, want to fight the debt, but they continually run into a major opposition: the Canadian citizen.

Every one of us had something to say about the Goods and Services Tax. This tax is hated by the majority. But, guess what? We needed it. Many will argue that there are alternate methods of taxation, but that doesn't matter, the GST is here, so deal with it. If some kind of tax had not been implemented, we would be farther in the hole than we are now, and that's not an acceptable option.

I believe that when the next federal budget is released, we are going to see a lot of spending cuts or freezes, and of course, there will be a large number of Canadians who object. It's time we stop objecting to spending cuts and increased taxes. We can't go on putting ourselves in debt farther and farther. We must accept the reality that we owe a huge sum of Ihoney, and it's time that we fight it.

I am very proud to be Canadian, and I want the future of my country to be one that continues to make me proud. If you want to be proud of your country, pleaseaccepttherealityandimportanceof this escalating crisis, and let our government fight the debt in a responsible manner.

Part T-wo: A More Reasonable Prerequisite Systetn for Colleges and Universities A Two-part Esay on the Pre-requisite System at UCFV, Continued From The January 27th Cascade

ByPeter S.S. Scholz I could feel the ttemendous pressures of history and culture straining against every edge of the old USSR and knew that the union has no hope of survival. I look with fascination at how people move across the land like a wonderful dance, and how much the shapes of the urban areas of cities are like the stars-growing, expanding, living, dying. I then realized how wonderful it would be to have some part in the growth of these stars, so I began mapping high-speed rail networks, and I superimposed new roads and highways on existing metropolitan areas to allow for easy transit in those cities that I felt were soon to expand greatly. I could see plainly I had an ability that could give me an exceedingly satisfying lifeandassistmany others as well, but it needed to be more carefully channeled, it needed to be developed and expanded by knowledge I could not possibly get by myself-hence

lllliversity. Great was my disappointment when I entered the classroom of the introductory human geography course, the prerequisite to all future human geography courses and was taught the definition of "human geography", "city", and ''metropolitan area". I said iO myself, "I know this."

My natural mode of expression is so strong that my heart will skip a beat at the simple sight of a large city. And with or without the support of a parent or sibling, with or without the help of a formalized institution like a school or a library, with or without the acceptance of society in general, I will continue to develop my ability. But never did I even consider the possibility that university would be a detriment, an obstacle, a useless repetition of what I had already done. Therefore, I wanted out. '"Ibis course is a waste of my time," I said. "I've taught myself everything in it."

"Garbage!"

I was told by a councilor. '"There is no such thing as wasted learning."

"But I'm not learning anything, so this course is a waste of my time and energy!"

"Yeah, right," was the implied reply.

I was curtly offered to withdraw and lose all my money, or challenge the course by taking the final exam- and get standin~, but no grade and no credits and

"Students should be able to ... challenge the universal knowledge content of introductory university courses ... " I

still lose all my money. To minimize my losses (the final exam is based a third on questions relating to specific things seen on field trips and in-class movies), I stayed fully in the course and have to date received three 100 percents, one 96 percent, and have wasted three hours a week on classes, library research, and assignments for 10 weeks. Meanwhile, the courses dealing with social geography, and other things that get interesting, have proceeded without _ me. In the field that provides me with my natural form- of expression my first experience has been having my ability forced down and rejected to make room for students from fashion design who are taking this course as filler!

The prerequisite system is to blame.

Many people who have taught themselves about their mode of expression must waste their time in this manner. I know a woman who has taught herself, while raising children, to the third-year level of the

humanities by just reading books, and is now essentially shut out of the university since she would have had to waste at least two years with stuff she already knows.

The message from the universities: either learn it entirely from us or do not learn it, period. This message even extends to dealing with high schools, since many first -year university courses are basically just extended reviews of grade twelve subjects - the student who has taken a year of physical geography in grade twelve must repeat that course with a year of introductory physical geography at the university level.

Students should be able to, at no more than even cost (somewhere around the $35 dollars, based on what the Open University charges for exam transfers), challenge the universal knowledge content of introductory university courses at the first- and second-year levels, much like with math and English placement tests.

Then, if they pass with a reasonable grade, they can bypass the introductory course and should receive one or one-and-a-half credits for the work they have put into selfteaching. This would insure that the injusticedonetomeandpresumablymany other people·can be avoided. In addition, this would decrease the strain on the resources of many universities by not forcing students to take introductory courses they do not need.

Never should the first reaction of a student in a course be "I know this."

Mel's Outdoor Adventures

Toilet caper • reina1ns unsolved

By Melanie Glaim This weeks trip was to the U.B.C. Research Forest in Vancouver. It was great for mountain biking, but the hiking was pretty arid. It was more like a stroll through the forest. But hey ...that's how we learn; trial and error.

All and all, it was an extremely safe trip, with Joslyn making everyone wear seat belts. As she says, "It's the law!!"

We finish the day off perfectly with a bash at my house. By the way, if anyone knows the whereabouts of "I don't know", "I didn't do it", or "It was those other guys", please let us know.

My toilet was mysteriously plugged, and we've narrowed it down to those three suspects. Besides our plumbing problems, we engaged in a red-neck dress up party. We were going to go to the Alder Inn looking like the Dukes of Hazard, but we got side tracked.

The next hike is to Look Out Peale in Harrison. If you're interested, give us a call. Oh yah, malce sure you check out our pictures at the entrance to the A building in Abbotsford (by the Great Hall). You can see for your self how much fun we have.

" . . . how many times . do we get to cheer for a hometown champion?"

There have been numerous stories of athletes who have sustained major injuries and battled back to beat the odds and to keep playing.

In recent years the names of Joe Montana, Wayne Gretzky and Michael Jordan have become synonymous to these personal battles. And in each instance these athletes have pushed themselves to the limit and have succeeded.

This story of tragedy and triumph has a chapter in it by former DW Poppy grad, and current UCFV basketball player Danielle Moe. Danielle is currently in her second year for the Lady Cascades basketball team. The first year is one which she • rather forget. wobld .

It was in the first year of play which she blew out her knee. This was quite an unexpected shock to her after playing virtually injury-free while at DW Poppy and also with the BC Team of under 16, under 17, and under 19.

Some athletes may have decided to pack it in and concentrate more on other pursuits. However, this would not be the case for Danielle.

She put in a lot of effort this past summer in rehabilitating the knee to the point that Moe is now able to return to playing her regular shift.

Along the way her hard work ethic and restored.confidence in her abilities has rubbed off on her team mates, and at press time, your UCFV Lady Cascades were the number one ranked collegiate team in Western Canada. They are also ranked number two in the nation.

Each game they play in they not only win,'they win big. They dominate in every game, and have a good crack at being the national champs.

Fornow,Moeadmits that"wehave

to go into each game knowing that the other teams (in our league) want to knock us off, just because we are number one."

Danielle seems to dig a little deeper in coming up with a strong effort on both sides of the ball when playing against arch nemesis, Douglas College. · The reason being, as Moe states, is ''because it's been such a good rivalry over the years. They always seem to save their best games for us, which I don't mind because it's a good test for us to keep motivated to win." · Ironically, Danielle, who not only wears #13, but sports a very mean pair of black basketball shoes, is not a very superstitious person.

When asked about the two "coincidences", she jokingly replied "Well, as for #13, I picked it up when I was at a rookie camp for the BC team and it kind of stuck, because before then I was always #24. The black shoes I had never even thought about before. I wore them this year because they are unique and felt comfortable."

Danielle and the rest of the Lady.

Cascades would like to see more students come out to games, because after all, how many times do we get to cheer for a hometown champion?

In an age of symbolism, perhaps Danielle's style of play could best be compared to her description of those black basketball shoes, comfortable and confident with the role she is playing, yet doing so in her own unique way.

Despite a critical knee injury, luck #13 Danielle Moe has been able to keep one step ahead of her competition.

Western H.N.I.C. ,viewers shafted again

By Bryan ~ikora What is with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation these days?

How many weeks in a row now has the CBCdecidedtobroadcastaTorontoMaple Leafs game on Hockey Night in Toronto, er, Canada?

I sat down one Saturday night to enjoy a game, but who do I see playing .. . Toronto, against Winterpeg.

Great potential for an exciting hockey game, if you are 90 years old with a serious heart condition that is not to be subjected to any excitement The game was a sleeper. The Doug Gilmour road-show and propaganda machine was at its best, but who really cares. Don Cherry and the rest of those CBC mouthpieces should take a look at Sergei Fedorov, who I feel is the best twoway player in the NHL. After 3 hours of trying to stay awake, I'd had enough! The CBC had really pissed me off. The other game that they could have broadcast was theFloridaMontreal game. We could have watched the Florida Panthers take it to the Hahs, in the Montreal Forum.

The Panthers, one of the League's new expansion teams, is flirting with a play-off spot. Walking into the Forum with Jolin Vanbiesbrook playing like the MVP he is, the Panthers game would have

~

been much more interesting.

Hind-sight is great, isn't it. The Bieser stopped43 shots to lead the Panthers to a 5-2 win over the defending Stanley 'Cup champions. With great discipline, the Panthers raced out to a 3-0 lead, then we could have watched, if the CBC wasn't so Toronto-biased, the Canadiens score 2 goals in the third period, to make it close.

The final in the Panthers game was 5-2; a Panther win in the Forum! The final in the Toronto game was 5-1, but I had to wipe the 'sleep' from my eyes.

For things to change, one would have to assume that fans in each hockey city are loyal to the respective city's teams.

Another given would be that the fans only want to see the best hockey possible.

This is what the CBC should do: REGIONALIZE. The Toronto-Winterpeg game should have been shown in those regions. The Florida-Montreal game should be shown in Quebec.

This is where the CBC should take its head out of the sand and actually use it The rest of the country wants to watch the best hockey possible, based on the above assumptions. Why not look at the two match-ups and decide which one to broadcast to the other regions? Look for two teams that are playing good hockey and the rest is history.

Florida was playing well, as was Montreal. Toronto also was playing well,

but Winterpeg is, and always will be Winterpeg: non-players in the NHL. V anbeisbrook: is on fire, as was Patrick Roy (Islanders game excluded).

Florida hasn't lost to Montreal inprevious meetings in this their freshman year.

Montreal had something to play for, as did Florida.

So wake up, CBC. The world does not revolve around Toronto, but hockey plays a large part of our world. We just want to see quality hockey from various Canadian teams.

CRIM NEWS

Info ban examined Fair tri_al,or right to know facts

By Clare G. There's one thing I like about writing for a newspaper. I don't have to endlessly reference what I say, as is required for school papers.

It means I have certain amount of freedom to express my views, to be critical of various organization, social institutions, practices, and even people without lending justification for that point of view other than that it is my own point of view.

This is called freedom of speech and freedom of the press and, despite the limitations of libel and slander, these days pretty well anything goes.

But, yes, the big BlIT: I cannot condone or support the recent furor over the ban on publication of the Karla Homolka trial.

I have debated this with friends in criminal justice, in the newspaper business, and those who are just plain old ordinary Joe Blow Canadians, who all ague that this ban infringes on our freedoms outlined in the Charter. Now here comes the reasons list, my reasons.

Number one: What about Paul Teale's right to a fair trial? I know many argue how-prospective jurors in Ontario can not be affected by information published or broadcasted in B.C., but what about things such as satellite TV, Info Net, telephones. Everyone has access to satellite TV, whether it is in their own home or at the local bar, and the publicity generated by this trial will no doubt send people scurrying to the nearest TV. _ That fact aside, computer bulletin boards and even the plain old telephone, means John Jr. or Aunt Bertha can easily disseminate information to the relatives or anyone with a modem in the eastern provinces. So, very easily the integrity of the trial can be jeopardized.

Reason number two: What about the victims' families? Is it really necessary to jeopardize the trial of this man-monster to satisfy a sick voyeuristic need so often found in supposed normal Canadians? Do we really need to splash the gory details of what was, in all likelihood, a violent death full of horrifying sexual torture, across the continent? Can we offer these victims at least some dignity in death, and their families some peace of mind, that this man-monster will go to jail for a very, very long time, or do we-want him to use the Charter in a perverse manner and legally escape justice? Is it really necessary to publish the horrifying details of an agonizing death by sexual torture? Oh, sorry, I forgot. Sex sells.

Reason three: Have we become so shallow and greedy for the sensational that we can't wait the six months until the trial is over to ooh and aah and vomit over the gory details? I am appalled.

I really don't find it necessary for my peace of mind to know that people like Paul Teale really exist on this planet. I don't need him made into some antihero with his own collector card and a movie to .know that he does exist. I've heard the media's reasons for lifting the ban, freedom of this and that, to examine the competence of the police and justice system, to see if Karla Homolka got off easy, etc., etc.

The fourth reason is in questioning if we will get the truth or just a pumped up version crltical of every aspect of police investigation and the justice system.

Considering that our media seems to think that negative news sells, I doubt we will get a positive story about a tight investigation that caught a brutal manmonster, or a justice system that is doing everything to make sure this man-monster doesn't get off on a technicality.

Oh, and whataboutKarlaHomolka only getting 12 years for manslaughter she' s an eye witness and probably the only witness, a very valuable commodity in a murder trial. Yes, she must have pied the charges down, but there are several legal defences she could have used to get off i.e.. battered wife syndrome, duress, insanity. Whyrisklosinghertestimonyby charging her with first degree murder and watching her get a conviction on manslaughter anyway, or worse case scenario, get off?

There's many of you who will disagree, but there are as many reasons to continue the ban as there are to lift the ban.

I support it.,for legal reasons and for purely human reasons. I don't want to see this bastard get off and I don't get any satisfaction reading about the misery one human being can inflict on another.

Instead of being righteously indignant because we can't find out sooner rather than later the gory details, we _should . be appalled at the perverse feeding frenzy and sensationalism dressed up in the protection of the Charter, and we should applaud a justice system that is doing everything to lock him up and throw away the key!
