Balancing books and ·managing learning By Monique Marchant In the last issue of the CASCADE there was a news story regarding the new class scheduling which is to be implemented in the Fall of 1994. At the time, Dr. Peter Jones, the President of the University Collese of the Fraser Valley, was unavailable for comments.
''There's a lotmore to education than time in the classroom." The revisions in the timetable will open up three new blocks a day. Added to the already existing ones, this will resit in a total of nine time blocks a day. There will also be some classes offered on Saturday
mornings. Spaces to allow for these new time blocks were created by taking twenty · minutes off of each class as the current schedule stands, decreasing class time by twe~ty percent. Classes will be offered twice a week, each session being one hour and twenty minutes long. This timetable suggests that there will no longer be any once a week, three hour courses offered, but Peter Jones says "as far as I know that's still possible." The teachershavebeengiventheoptionoftaking what is called "the fourth hour" if the time is needed to teach the material for specific subjects. The budget for the 1994195 academic year will be out by the beginning of April. Not until then will it be know for sure whether or not there will be an increase in the tuition at UCFV. When asked how he justified shorter classes costing the same amount, if not
UCFV student w-ins indigenous peoples aw-ard UCFV student David Joyce of Chilliwack is one often students from B.C. to receive a special $2000 provincial scholarship marking the International Year of the World's lndigenous People. Joyce, whoisofTsimshianancestry, is a second-year arts student andmemberof the Tzeachten band. He says he initially came to college to "get out of the rain." "I had been worldng in construction in zero-degree freezing rain picking up cold, heavy steel with my bare hands, and I decided that there had to be more to life than that" After a few months at UCFV, he had experienced several surprises. "I was pleasantly sruprised a the supportive atmosphere at this institution. The level of respectgiventomeenhancedmyself-esteem and fostered an ability to ask questions. I was also surprised with myself. I had been an average student in high school - I didn't pay much attention to mmy studies - but after a few months, I had real confidence in my abilities." Besides maintaining an excellent scholastic record at UCFV, Joyce has been involved in community and campus activities aimed at First Nations cultural awareness and appreciation. He helped to
coordinate the Medicine Wheel, a spiritual gathering of over 700native and non-native people in Mission last fall. He is also involved with circle meetings and with helping the elders of his community. He· has participated in leadership training at UCFV, and has become involved with the leadership of the First Nations Empowerment Student Society. He is also one of the founders of Four Directions, a magazine written for and by First Nations students at UCFV. Joyce says that broadening his awareness while at UCFV has helped to shape his personal philosophy. "I've decided that all one can do is set an example. In the future I hope to set a good one, and encourage non-Natives to go beyond the stereotypes and ask questions that acknowledge the many dimensions of the First Nations people." After sampling many subjects at UCFV, particularily anthropology, geography, and agriculture. Joyce phms to pursue a Native Studies degree at the Saskatchewan Indian Federated Colleges, which are affiliated with the University of Regina He plans to eventually move back toB.C.

The tour will explore the landscape, literature, and theatreofF.ngland andScotland with experienced guides from UCFV. It is sponsored by the Theatre, English,·and Geography departments.
more, Peter Jones responded by saying that "we have to find some way to balance the books." He also said, however, that the new
"We have to find some way to balance the books. " classes would be accompanied by additional funding from the government Many concerns have been raised in regards to the ability to teach the students all the material which is required by particular programs in a shorter amount of time. Jones pointed out that the curiculum is not set in stone, that "education isn't a static sort of thing," and that shorter class times will "challenge the instructors." Both the instructors and their students will have
to find a different approach as to "how to manage learning." In regards to the shorter classroom times, Peter Jones stated that "there is a lot more to education than time in the classroom." A final concern surrounding the new class scheduling is the method by which it was implemented. It had, however, been. "on the table" at board meetings since November, so it did not appear all of a sudden, overnight. "There wasn't any formal consoltation" with the general student population. The students would have had some input into this, but there have not been any students interested in going to these meetings,orthoseofmanyothercommittees either.

NEWS~=========~
Students to provide safety patrols for U CFV cainpuses A new safety patrol program will appear at UCFV campuses in Chilliwack and Abbotsford this spring. The new student safety patrol is a direct response to growing concern for student and employee safety on campuses everywhere. "Ensuring personal safety is a very serious concern for·all institutions," said Dr. Peter Jones. "By implementing a Student Safety Patrol at UC~ we believe we will be taking a very positive and effective step to ensure that everyone on campus can feel more comfortable and secure." Under the program UCFV students will be hired to patrol parking lots and other outdoor areas during weekday evenings. They will also assist in the campus Walksafe Program, which provides an escort to vehicles during evening hours, and perform a "watch and report" duty by noting and reporting any suspicious behaviour or immediately reporting any need for help. The idea for a safety patrol program started with UCFV Personal Safety committee, which includes students and employees. Committee chair Steve Yap said the Student Safety Patrol will go a long ways to help students and employees feel more secure. "The committee believes that this is an excellent way to improve the level of safety and security on campus," said Yap. "In addition it ,willhelp raise the general

awareness of safety issues, because students themselves will be involved in helping to address this serious issue." Student patrollers will work in pairs, and may include male and female students. They will be equipped with two-way radios to communicate with other UCFV security personnel. They will be highly visible in brightly coloured jackets, and they will be trained in basic security procedures. Currently, both main UCFV campuses have a professional security person on duty. The student patrollers will add an extra . element of awareness and help act as a deterrent to any unwelcome behaviour or activities. The overall objective for the program is to provide security and visibility to alleviate the fear of walking to vehicles during evening hours. It will also act as a deterent to theft and vandalism on campus. In addition, Student Patrollers are expected to play a role in providing directions and information for visitors and provide back-up assistance during special events or emergencies.
Student Patrollers will be recruited §!OOn for the c9ming year. When fully operational, as many as 16 students will be employed on a part-time basis to cover four hour shifts on both main campuses. Funding for the Student Safety Patrol will come from the new pay parking program.

really good to us. We did three shows there. Every place is different. Thunder Bay is starting to get gOQd for us. Winnipeg is starting to come around. Alberta is a complete dead zone. Edmonton is starting to come around now but Calgary is dead and the clubs hate us. The club, The Republik just won't book us for some reason. It's fairly conservative there, so we prefer just to steer clear of there.
It's been about a year and a half now since Peel was released. It's been quite a su~ Wereyouexpecting it? Sure, I guess we were. When you put out something, you always think it's going to do well, or you wouldn't be in the business. Is success affecting you at all? When you say success, what does that really mean?
Tell me about a new album. The new album's the big thing right now. We really want to get that out. We're starting to write right now. We're going to try to book some studio time and a producer. Hopefully we'll get into the studio by mid-March or April, and we're doing another tour in June across Canada again. I guess it's a lot easier to tour in
People know who you are._ Well, some people do. Not everybody does. I don't know, we still can't pay the bills if that means anything. We'restillnotmakingmoney atall. We'rejustsortapaying for costs that we incur, which are probably high.
the summer. It was so cold on the way out, I couldn't believe it. Atleastthirtyfive days of the tour were below twenty to thirty degrees ... We had our share of interesting things. We had wipeouts, I've got some stitches on my chin ... and fights on stage ... That kind of thing ... Destroying our U-Hauls. So people actually know our music out your way? There• s a lot of people interested. Where do you like playing in Vancouver? The Town Pump is like our second home. And the Commodore's always fun. The music business is kind of seedy, isn't
How well have you been taken outside of Canada? We haven't ventured too far out. It's sort of released in Europe. Our distributor sold a few hundred copies, mostly in Germany. A few dance clubs are playing our tracks in Germany. We get some fan letters from Japan. In the States actually, we're starting to chart in the colleges. Our song, 'Mel!lory Fade' is starting to do well down there. That's our next big thing, to try and get distribution elsewhere.
Have you had any major label interest? Yah, we were negotiating with a couple labels. We just about did a big deal with Attic/MCA. When it came down to it, their paper, their contract was just so bad that we said forget it We tried getting.it close to where we wanted it We spent about two months going t,ack and forth with lawyers, but it ended up being that we dido' t want to sign to a company like that for basically the rest of our careers.

You were probably also thinking about your musical integrity?
Definitely European music, everything from Beatles to PinkFloyd, to 2.eppelin, U2, and the Clash.
Definitely. When they started to talk to us, they were really open to, you know, "you guys can do whatever you want" but we found that when we got into it, they were trying to shape us already. Like, "these two songs are a bit too much like this, maybe you could try doing this". Just subtly, even before we signed anything. So we said "Fuck You."
What do you think of the local indie scene? It's getting really good.
Do you like any bands in particular? Damnthe Diva, and there's bands like Moist. What kind of stuff did you listen to that
Tell me about your recent tour with The Odds. It was really good. All of The Odds shows were packed, completely sold out. A lot of Universities, playing for a lot of young people.
it? Is it ever. Especially in the States. Any album that gets played on the radio, you have to pay out about $100,000 on average persong just to radio promoters and DJ's in the main centres that have a lot of control. I've heard stories about how they used to get records and in the sleeves there used to be money and bags of coke and stuff to play them.
It must have helped, touring with The Odds. Especially in the Prairies, where we're not really well known, and they are. And then on the way back we did our own gigs and a lot of people came back to see us.
Where's your interest located? Out here, and in Ontario.
When can we expect the new album?

I won't deny my cynicism going to see this film. Put on by the Christian club, the Jesus Film is the screen version of the Gospel of Luke, the life and times of Jesus Christ. At times rather dry, this· film lent itselfto a betterunderstanding of thisbiblical hero. Informative and illuminating, I'm sure that the 20 or so people there were not disappointed.

U
nwanted sexual attt:ntion, sexual solicitation or other sexually oriented remarks or behaviors: inappropriate sexually suggestive language, innuendoes, jokes or body language; persistent unwanted questions or comments of a sexual nature; inappropriate display of sexual pictures or materials-all these are examples of sexual harassment, and all are covered by UCFV's sexual harassment policy. If your didn't know that UCFV actually had a sexual harassment policy, don't be surprised-they don't exactly make it very widely known. With the exception of a few pamphlets available outside the Registration office or in Student Services, very little information is widely available on it. In search of the actual policy, I visited both Student Services and the main desk in the Library before I actually unearthed a copy (with the help of the library staff). For you information, it's Section 510.04 in UCFV' s Policy Manual, found in the reference section. It is also ( I found out later) available in the President's Office (A301). The policy greeted me with the introduction that "Sexual harassment violates fundamental rights, personaldignity and personal integrity." It goes on to define sexualharassmentas above, and lays out the actual procedure for resolving a complaint To begin a complaint, a written or oral complaint should be brought to the President. The procedures for resolution set out in the policy are informal consultation, formal mediation and formal investigation. Informal consultation involves discussion between the President, the harasser and the harassee. A mutually

party, but only with the consent of both. The mediator, agreed upon by both parties, has no power to actually punish the harasser but will strive to find a resolution that is agreeable to both parties. A formal investigation is undertaken by the Investigative Committee. Thisfour-memberpanel, appointed by the President and representative of all facets of UCFV from management on down, hashad training "in the process and dynamics of dealing with sexual harassment." The Committee interviews all persons involved in the complaint, including wiblesses to alleged harassment They then recommend 'appropriate discipline and remedies to the President." However, the policy has no 'safety valve' if the

issment violates ights, personal ,.sonalintegrity" fusmt Peter Jones agreed that there is no alternative person defined in the policy, but, he stated, in actuality, that the President has a moral responsibility to remove him/herself from the investigation and turn the matter over to the Board of Directors. Dr. Jones also informed me that the whole policy process hasnever had to have been used since it's development in 1991. None of the complaints received in accordance with this policy have ever progressed past the informal consultation phase. Most times, the alleged harassment was simply a case of misunderstanding or insensitivity on the part of the harasser, and sometimes of the harassee. This by no means undermines the importance of this policy and the punishment it allows. Most importantly, this policy protects the complainant (or respondent if the complaint is found to be unjustified) from further harassment, discrimination, trauma, or reprise as a result of the complaint (or response).
Although currently the deadline to submit a complaint and/or request for mediation or formal investigation is six months past the date of the last alleged incident of harassment, President Peter Jones is considering asking the Board to change this to either a longer time limit, or to no limit at all. This is due to the apparent and supposed hesitation of victims to report harassment while they are still attending a class or program within UCFV. The point to remember is that the sexual harassment policy is set up to help the victim (while still allowing room to determine if the complaint is unjustified). Every effort is made to make the investigation as non-traumatizing as possible, and to maintain the confidentiality of both parties. There is no reason in this day and age that anyone, male or female, student or faculty, should experience sexual harassment of any form. As the pamphlet says, being aware of the effect of our actions and willing to modify them when they effect others is important. You can help make a difference by being aware of how your attitudes and actions can constitute or condone harassment, speaking out against harassment, refusing to laugh at harassment disguised as humour and offering support to anyone being harassed. If your feel you're being sexually harassed, help in stopping the harassment is as easy as contacting the President's Office. You don't have to put up with sexual harassment, because the tools to help you are there. Don't be afraid to take advantage of them-they're there for your protection.

he Saratoga Chip It all began innocently enough 141 years ago in a small New York restaurant. It was an accident. She didn't mean to drop it into the hot oil. It just happened ...
■ By
Monique Marchant
T
hebirthofthePotatoChipwas an accidental one; not planned at all. A little restaurant called Moon's Place in Lake Saratoga, New York, was where it all began. Moon's Place employed a husband and wife team as waiter and cook. One day while the wife was cutting up the potatoes to make french fries, a small sliver of potato fell into the cooking oil. Her husband fished it out and ate it. This is how the first Potato Chip was made, way back in 1853. After the accidental bath of the potato in the boiling oil, the husband had his wife prepare him this new delicacy regularly.
One day the owner of Moon's Place tried one of the fried slivers. They hit the spot and he dubbed them the "Saratoga Chip." They then started to serve them in the restaurant, making Moon's Place and the Saratoga Chip widely known. ~ For years the Saratoga Chip was prepared only by the wife who worked at Moon's Place. It wasn't until 1925 that the first company was formed. That little restaurant in Lake Saratoga, New York, was the birthplace of over 370 companies. The Saratoga Chip is now commonly known as the Potato Chip.
Not only has_ the name changed, but over the years the simple process of dipping potato slices into boiling cooking oil has become a long and complicated one. The potatoes used are inspected numerous times, from the field to the packaged results. They are washed, cut, cooked, salted, and packed by precision instruments that, along with the continuous inspections that they are constantly undergoing, will ensure the quality of the final product. Chips are no longer "chips". They are now potato chips, tortilla chips, natcho chips, cornchips, etc.
The original potato chip is now referred to as "Regular" or "Plain" Potato Chips. Some of the "non-regular" potato chips are: salt and vinegar, ketchup, bar-b-que, cajun, sour cream and onion, cheddar cheese, dill pickle, pizza, parmessan, lasagna, smokey bacon, cool ranch, and zesty cheese, to name a few. By having all thes exotic flavors, the necessity for having chip dips has been eliminated. Chip dips are more commonly used as vegetable dips. So there you have it. Toe evolution of the Saratoga Chip.

he International Studies depamnent is presenting the photography exhibit "Rites and Rituals: Fiestas in Peru" from March 28 to April 15 in the UCFV Library at the Abbotsford Campus. The photographs are by Stephen Sumner, a Professor of Art and Chair of the Faculty of Art at the University of Tulsa. He has done extensive photographic work in Central and South America and has received several awards for his work in promoting multi-cultural diversity. The Fiesta in Peru, says International Studies instructor Colin Ridgewell, "defines the native people of Peruas a community." "The Central American native comnumity is cmrently under threat from everyone from the military to missionaries, and the fiesta, which is the major celebartion fo the peasants hard year, celebrates the traditional native community." As Stephen sumner writes in his introduction to the collection: "For me, as photographer, thefiesta becomes a collage

of endless fleeting images - a humanand spiritual condition unique unto itself." By bringing this exhibition to UCFV, Colin RidgeweU hopes that those who see the pictures will be able to make links between the plight of the natives both in Peru and in North America, and to realire that people have similar concerns in all parts of the world. The very idea of the International Studies program, according to Ridgewell is to "internationaliu the curiculum, to foster greater understanding of humankind and the world in general." In broadening the students horirons, International Studies hopes to help the students to be better able to compete in the new world economy. This photography exhibit is only the first step in a long process of developing worldwide awareness. Ridgewell hopes to bring another exhibit, this time from Guatemala, to. UCFV in the fall.

ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE
hat good old days? ■ By
Doug Colby
Recently
I listened as an older acquaintance commented about a return to the "good-old-days."He yearned for the simple times (I assumed he meant the period in North American history between the 1920'sand 19(i()'s)when,ashe said, "There were plenty of good jobs for those willing to worlc, and people were honest and had values." Ah, the good-old-days, I thought. Setting aside the notion that many people
envision the history of human kind as only the last 80 odd years, I tried to remember some of the highlights of this golden epoch. Well, there was race riots and segregation throughout the southern US. Devastating depression, widespread poverty, and dustbowl farm land from Saskatchewan to Arkansas. Or how about the Cuban missile crisis,SenatorMcCartby,orQuebec'sFLQ? Riots outside the MontrealForum and Kent State University, and let's not forget the
Studebaker and the Edsel. And of course no one stood up to child abuse, incest, date rape, or spousal abuse. Then again, society was still a comfortable distance from this "informationage" nonsense,a phenomenon which is trying its damndest to further alienate people from each other and create an illiterate class of cocoon people. I supposetherehas neverbeen "good old days" and a "golden age". There's
1910,1920,1930,1940,1950,1960,1970,1980,J994
been some not bad old days, but mostly we just struggle through our existence to make the journey more bearable. We are constantly reminded of our mistakes and short comings, but somehow we always find a way to lessen someoneelse's burden, to be selfless in the face of despair. Each age has had good and bad points. The trick is to improve the one you live in, while you can, and learn from the past.

On 10 February 1994,Jose Teixeira Castilho was detained without a warrant in Eldorado doCarajas by tow civil policemen who drove him to the town of Maraba. In Marabaa judge then decreedhis "temporary imprisonment" for five days. The trade unionist "temporary detention was extended by the judge in unclear circumstance, since the judge himself was absent from Maraba until 17 February. By March 11994 Jose Teixeira Castilho had been in detention for 20 days and no charges had brought against him. Lawyersrepresentinghim havebeen refused access to informationabout the caseagainst him.
Peasants members and leaders of rural trade unions in Para state have been
targetsof death threats, assaults,abductions and killing in the context of land disputes with local landowners. While Amnesty International takes no position on land disputes, the organization is concerned and persistent impunity for killings of trade unionist which has in turn left them increasingly vulnerable to attacks on their
lives. At the same time state police forces have participated in violent evictions of peasants from land they claim. On many occasions this has involved arbitrary detention, ill-treatment, and sometimes torture. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Please send courteously worded letters including the following points: -expressingconcern for the health of Jose Teixeira Castillio, detained in the regional police station of Maraba since 10 February, and urging that he be given full access to medical treatment for Hansen's disease including access to a doctor or hospital if necessary. -expressing concern that the trade unionist has been detained without charge for 20 days, and urging that he should either be charged with recognized criminal offenses or released from custody immediately. -expressing concern at previous death threats and attempts on the life of Jose TeixeiraCastilho,urginga full investigation into the authors of these assaults, that those

Editorial Well, the deadline for the submission of applications for Student Society positions has come and gone, and to our knowledge, not one person has wanted to be nominated. _What is it about the people in this school who bitch and whine that their Student Society is useless (which we tend to agree with) and then when their chance appears, no one will come forward to do anything about it. You can bitch and whine all you want, but
if you--yes, I'm speaking to you-won't do anything to change the status quo, then you're as hypocritical as the present (and usually absent) Student Society members. We've all heard the old saying "if you' re not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." That's true enough around here. The problem is the apathetic wheezing and snivelling population of this school who like to complain a lot but do very little about it_.
The solution is the few dedicated and spirited individuals who work their tails off to bring you the things that are supposed to characterize what student life is all about- fun events, sports, and this student newspaper. Hats off to people involved in Activities, Athletics and anyone else who tries to foster some kind of school spirit around here. As for the rest of you--you complain about the Student Society this year?
Keep your heads stuck in the sand, and you'll have a hell of a lot more to complain about next year if we don't even have a Student Societyl On a happier note, kudos to the Lady Cascades Basketball Team - SILVER MEDAL WINNERSat the C.C.A.A. Nationals in Leth bridge last week. These women deserve our ultimate congratulations on a fantastic season and a great finsh. We're very proud of them alll

I would like to make a retractionregarding the quote you made on the February 16 article on CommunityKitchens. The quote was "people who start up in the program who are unemployed.usuallyfind work within 6 months." I was actually quotingLaura Kalina.a dieticianand author in Kamloops who bas been very successful
in promoting Community Kitchens. I was trying to point out that Community Kitchens can be a very positive experience in a person's life. Besides this retraction, I was very pleased with the article you wrote. Thank you. Sincerely, Lori Bahnman Community Kitchem Coordinator
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Dear Editor: Lift your bead up from your studies
and take moment to consider the impact of a monumental decision made by UCFV managementearly this year. As we already know, beginning Sept 94, classes will be shortenedby twentyminutes to make room for an additional block each day, also Saturdaymorning classes will be added. Proponents of the timetablechange argue that it is necessary to accommodate an enormous number of new students applying to this institution. A positive aspect of this decision, they argue, is that the first-time student at UCFV will have availabilityand flexibilityof courses. Even limited time in those courses is better than no accessat all. Underthis plan, classrooms presently empty on the Abbotsford, Cbilliwack and Mission campuses will be fullyutilized.This, alongwiththeadditional block, will better serve students with more timeoptions.Bybeingable to accommodate more students, this change better fulfills UCFV's mandate as a community institution. However, as students, we are concerned with this decision. How does thisaffect the qualityof theeducationUCFV provides?UCFV is sayingthatinstructional time and classroom discussion and interaction are less important than before. We will be, in effect, losing 20% of
instructionaltime yet paying the same fee; is this fair? Is this a violationof themandate as a teaching institution and not a profit motivated facility? We fell this timetable change is not necessary.We proposebetteruseofMission and Cbilliwack campuses; neither is being usedto its fullpotential. Also,team-teachers couldalleviateextraworldoadfor instructors and, in tum, create larger class sizes to fill empty desks. Becausethe decisionaffectsall of us for better or for worse we believe strongly that we should have been consulted. Why wasn't this proposal publicly discussed? Those of us who feel that this choice is for the worse are hoping that, as occurred with the reduction of parking prices, our voice will make a difference.

Spring Semester-is this really a change for the better? Maybe it is-for those who can afford it. In response to student demand and lack of government funding, UCFV is offeringa springsemesteron a costrecovery basis. Past intersessions offered fewer courses,yet tuition fees remained the same as other semesters. Should we not be concerned about the precedentsbeing set by cost-recovery? Advocates of the cost recovery say no. They argue spring semester will help alleviateenrollmentpressures. Further, by taking advantage of the spring semester, studentsmay be able to completeprograms sooner and reduce education related costs. We fear strong enrollmentmay lead the government to believe students are willing and able to pay higher education costs. Future budgets may include cost recoveryin funding formulas. If education
is moving towards a user-pay system, like Medicare, will students of the future be denied access to advancededucationdue to lack of funding? Our concern is that students who cannot afford the higher fees will be left behind. It appears that only when money talks that government listens. Is this really a change for the better?

GOOD EAI'S \VITH JILL
Eats is eats when hunger strikes Braving the cafeteria at UCFV By Jill Bryant Considering the item of year it is, with midterms, papers and the thoughts of finals coming out of our ears and other bodily orifices, I figured that many people would have neither the lime nor the inclination to actually go out for a meal. And if you're spending even near as many homs in the library as I am.you may have already discovered the location of this GOOD EATS. Yes, friends and neighbors, I am speaking of our beloved Cafeteria. Some people may argue tllat the Cafeteria doesn't fit under the category of "good" eats, but let's face it, when you're doing library research or in the middle of that extremely snore-able Tuesday night class and you get the munchies - what choice do you have? When it comes to institution food (read into that what you want), eats is eats. The caf sells two different types of food - that that fits under the category "munchies" and that that fits under the category "almost real food". There are (I found to my surprise, being mostly a dweller of the E lounge, and very rarely venturing down to the cafeteria) some rich people out there who, instead of brown bagging it, actually but a real hot meal for lunch in the cafeteria. The menu offers a surprising rang of short order items, as well as breakfast and lunch specials (a question here though what in hell is a nacho fish burger?). For the more health-conscious, there arealso salads and sandwiches. We're not talking gourmet here- in fact, I onceovemeard someone say that it takes talent to make food that bland, but the food that I've eaten there is always
passably good (and this from the palate of the guru of good eats). As for the class-break munchy-typc foods, and impressive array of chocolate bars, chips, baked goods.juices and coffees awaits you. A sure-fired way to survive a boring class(speaking from experience here) is iced tea and Smarties. The iced tea is strong and full of sugar,and you can play little games with the Smarties - line them up according to colour, make pretty picrures, · flick them ai the person in front of you ... thepossibilities are endless. Knock yourself out! The ambiance is, well, a little sparse to say the least. Tables and plastic chairs, linoleum ...the cafeteria is something of a major faux pas in the world of interior decorating. I say jazz it up! Try some curtains, a little eclectic art on the walls, some interesting floor covering! Even a little background music would lighten it up a bit - but then I am speaking in an ideal world, where things like adding a little character wouldn't mean that tuition goes up. Oh well, at least it's clean - and you can recycle your bottles there. You can usually find a friend or acquaintance to eat with, or take a table to yourself, spread out your junk and srudy or read the CASCADE (a very popular read in these parts). The cafeteria, as the hub of social life within UCFV (well, at least until the sun comes out and we can move outside). offers. a viable alternative source of gastronomic satisfaction and social leisure right on campus. So until we get a Srudent Union Building, or a sbldent pub (or both), our choices are limited in this direction. The food may not be great, but it's quick, cheap and available - now get back to those books.

BLUE RODEO: Five Days In July -After getting past the initial 'country' stereotype that Blue Rodeo gets stuck with far too often I found an amazing band. Sure some of it has a strong country influence, but you only have to hear 'Hasn't Hit Me Yet' or '5Days in May' to discover.a whole new musical direction. But what really stands out on this album is the use of duets. I challenge anyone tonameaduetthatdoesn't pale in comparison to Greg Keelor and Sarah Mcl..achlan's 'What Is This Love' and also 'Dark Angel'. Now I'm no fan of Sarah McLachlan, but this is simply amazing. VARGA: Prototype - Powerful, angry. violent, anti-establishment, metalrock is the best way to describe this band. Check out 'Freeze Don't Move' (and the remix), 'Greed', and 'Bring The Hammer Down•. Give it a try, because it will satisfy your eternal violent urges. MONSTER VOODOO MACHINE: State Voodoo/ State ControlThis sblff is basically industrial speed-rock noise. The opening track, 'Get On With It' is good but the rest is basically pointless, monotonous garbage. It's also interesting to note that this band has neither the standard MAPL symbol that most Canadian bands have on theirreleasesnoraCanadianmailing address. Hey, that's odd, Canadian artists trying to pass as American. INDIE SP01LIGHT MOIST: Silver- You don't have to bother trying to remember the name of this band, you• re going to hear a lot more in the future on this Vancouver group. They are quite simply the hottest band on the scene right now. 'Push' is deservedly gaining a lot of momenrum as the first single, and 'Believe Me' and 'Freaky Be Beautiful" are sure to follow successfully.
CROPDUSTERS: Dust Covered Truth - This Ontario band is self-described
as "electric when it has to be, acoustic when it should be". They've got a great sound, roughly in the same ballpark as theSkydiggersandBlueRodeo. ~ This, their first CD project, is well-balanced and clean, with a distinctive nice flavour. A sure bet as a hit is 'Another Hard Lesson', and other great tunes ~ include 'Ten Miles High' and 'Desperate Man'. Give them a shout at 2 W estran Rd., ~ Amherstview, ONT K7N 1R9

fl""
SUBTRACTOR: Gus - This is the kind of music that iskeeping Canada's independent scene at its blissful best This music is great, alternative-styled, no-bullshit rock-and-roll with strong vocal poured over top. Highlights include 'Weak', 'Tangled', and 'Dream Alone'. 3017 Queen St East, #E-6, Toronto, MIN 1A5 HANK'S HALLUCINATION: Crocodile Tears - This Hamilton band represents a different kind of rock, there's a bit of everything put together here. Their base and drums groove while the guitar and vocals lay down a solid umbrella of energy. The biggest ear-catcher on this disc is definitely 'Desperate Times' with its unstoppable rhythm ~d vocal inspired by the homeless. 58 Aikman Ave. Hamilton, ONT. L8M 1P7 DBS: Catch 22 - I first encountered this band at a recent all-ages concert. They weren't playing, but I overheard the lead singer plugging the band. I said I'd review their stuff in exchange for their tape ...What struck me at first with this band was how high-quality the recording was, and also the fact that these guys are all fourteen and this istheirsecondrecording! These North Van punkers really know how to play. They beat the pants off any of the local punk bands; hands down. Quality tunes include 'Won't Forget', 'Solitaire' and 'The Political Song'. Give these guys a chance because you won't find anyone that comes even close to being as industrious as them. 1185 Kilmer Rd., N. Vancouver, BC

Musical talent still exists & Your liver for a bottle of Vodka and a hooker By Buzz & Skeeter
hHead - Fireman I guess you could say that this is one of those bands to come out of the "postSeattle grunge scene" - if I had to classify this band, which I have to do because of tlle way the music industry is set up. They're great. They really are. It's not just three-cord distortion and feedback . rock - there is actual musical talent in this . band. A couple of songs remind me somewhat of Nirvana's first undertaking, Bleach, but this band - in the "grunge rock" world is pretty fresh. All in all, a great album from an upand-coming Canadian band worth spending money on.
And now, for more of the same ... Okay, so here it is. I recently read yes, I can read - that it is actually good for our health to consume up to 26 drinks a week. It actually prevents heart disease and aids longevity. Who cares about our livers, man. Our hearts will be strong, and that's what counts. I mean, you can have a liver transplant anywhere. Hell, they're doing them in Siberia for a bottle of Vodka and a hooker. So here's my plan. First option: Don't drink fro Sunday to Thursday, then you get 13 drinks on Friday AND Saturday. Good Deal. Or, you could have one or two a night fro Sunday to Thursday, for those of us who find it hard to abstain from for that long, then divide the rest up on the weekend. Either way, you can't lose. Happy Partying!

The.true-voice of our generation Nine Inch N-nils- The Downward Spiral (N othingffVT /lnterscope Records) By Dallas
J.
You're naked in a cold room. You're hunched over on your knees with your arms wrapped around yourself as if you have just been kicked in the stomach. You start to scream, eyes closed, in the cement room. If you have ever felt like (or done?) this, then chances are pretty good that the angst in your screaming would be
thought that, "your god is dead and no one cares, if there is a hell I will see you there." Reznor has not only continued to create lyrics that sting, but he has also stretched his musical and vocal boundaries. The vocal simplicity of "Piggy", the piano in ''March of the Pigs", and the harmonies in "closer" are far beyond anything in Reznor' s other work and even further beyond the abilities of other industrial bands.
EAR TO THE GROUND equivalent to the lyrics of _Nine Inch Nails' founder, Trent Reznor. Come to think of it, your screaming can probably be heard in the background to "The Becoming", one of the many new and exceedingly worthwhile tracks on The Downward Spiral. The album was two years in the making since NIN' s last EP in 1992, Broken, and it is more than worth the wait. · Reznor is a professional in the field of industrial music and although this may only be his second full-length album, Nine Inch Nails is both a pillar and forerunner of this hard-cO!e genre. Kicking off the album with a beating is "Mr. SelfDestruct", a detailing of the tortures that sex, religion, drugs, and violence hold with the ultimate realization that it is all your own fault. Religion is again questioned in "Heresy" which offers the consoling
Those wishing to hear an unrelenting wall of noise will not be dissatisfied, for this style is present, but there is a sophisticated interweaving of the silence and the noise that lulls you into passivity and then pummels you into submission. J.T. Jr. once told me that Trent Reznor was "the true voice of our generation." I almost agree with him. T he fascination of being both the oppressor ("Big Man with a Gun") and the oppressed ("Reptile"), and wanting to do everything while wanting to do nothing is present throughout the music of Nine Inch Nails. The problem lies with those who do not "get" the music and find contentment far too easily. I guess the create the buffer zone that maintains the radio-friendly bands and the suits keep their position, while we bounce around in
Morning mix-up When going.to school becomes a habit By Sinda Chicoice Terry woke up with a jolt, "Oh my goodness, I'm going to be late!" Getting ready and racing to the highway, she cursed herself, "I'm late, how could I sleep in?" Being careful and watching out for cops she entered through the exit. The major disadvantage of attending classes in Chilliwack and living in Hope is having to get up 45 minutes earlier in the rooming for a half hour drive. Driving faster than ' she should, Terry slowed down a bit, just in case there were any cops on the road. Looking at the dashboard, she received a downfall she didn't expect. She had no gas! "Damn car," she cursed to her gas-guzzler, although she half-heartedly felt lucky, she could still tum off at the Silver Creek exit.
Ten minutes later she was back on track. Terry knew that no matter how fast she drove, she would be about 15 minutes late. There weren't very many cars on the!road and she was glad about Just as she hit the Laidlaw Bluffs, the sun started to peer over the mountains, blinding her. As she swerved from lane to lane she was sure the cars behind her thought that she was drunk, and a part of her wished she was. Terry got to the college and just as she predicted she was 15 minutes late. There was something strange though. There were no cars in the parking lot and there was no human life to be seen. Looking down at her calendar, she discovered that she wasn't late for class. It was Saturday! Terry was late for work, back in Hope!
