DYKES ON THE DYKE

By Anonymous

There's a quiet. dnl'k place down by lhe Fraser River dyke where my girl friend ,1ndI go ,1fter ,1d,lte. We can watch the lights of the airport reflected on the water· anu ~l!c cute little duckies lloating amidst the tall reeds. but we dun·t. We'rc _just like every other couple in love - we sometimes have deep discussions while we're parked by the riverbank, but must uf the time nut. We ur·en't the only ones whu like tu park out by the river, so, once in a while, we get another car that pulls 11ppretty close tu ours and we notice the couple inside stop whatever they're doing to stare ut us, ·'Glilly, Bob. I think there's two girls in that car!" "Uy George, Stella, I think you're right'"

Usually if we stare back at th1,:m.they' II be embarrassed cnough to peel thcir noscs off their window and mind their own business, but there's no accounting for what some people will do, A few months ago we were lucky enough to find a spot by the dyke with nu other cars parked nearby. and it was a good thing. tun, becuuse it wasn't one of those 'talking' days. We had only been therc a few minutes, when a bright light blinded us, I turned to see who was there. and it was a police officer. flashing the high benms at us, What a way to be interrupted! The officer drove closely past our car. went up the road a way, and drove pnst us again, flashing the high beams. Damn cops. But we're yuung. and it didn't take 11s long to get back to whcre we were, and soon the clothing started !lying, Soon enough, the grey c.:ir interior was reminisi.:cnt of a fiuing room at La Scnza, complete with plush recliner seats. Bright lights flashed across our eyes and we fro:t.c. My girlfriend. who's almost blind without her glasses, looked up and said, ''Looks like a white forerunner,"

We didn't pay attentinn to it, and moments Ii.lier were inlcrruptcd with a loud banging on our window. = Sitting up, 1 noticed the white forerunner hnd a cherry on top, and an appropriate string of epithets left my lips. Scats moved into the full and upright position, zippers zipped, and buttons wouldn't button, I grabbed my jacket and pulled it on, wondering where the hell my shirt was, My girlfriend rolled down the steamy window halfway, and squinted at the officer, who promptly noticed my bra dangling off the gearshift. "Everything OK in hcre?" An enlightened smile registered on his face, as his flashlight panned over the garment littered interior. ''Oh yes, officer, we're just tnlking," We waited until the officer got into his vehicle before we cracked up. We laughed until we cried, and then we kissed. It was less than ten minutes later when the next police car showed up. The officer that came by after the third one seemed really cager to patrol the Fraser River dyke, and didn't wait five minutes until ofter his coworker left to come by and "check" on us. After assuring that freckle-faced young officer that We were fine. we decided that the good citizens of our town wouldn't have enough police protection for the night until we went tu our respective homes. So much for being just another young couple in love,

AN INTERVIEWWITH Ex-SUS PRESIDENT,MARK DELADURANTE

By Beth Kelleher

"There's a lot of political in-fighting and back-stabbing, and when I found I couldn't change it It just wasn't what I thought it was going to be," explains exSUS president, Mark DeLadurantaye.

Since DeLadurantayc 's abrupt resignation from the SUS on January 25th, he's had three weeks to contemplate the turmoil he's left behinu and wonder what's next. both for himself and fur the tumultuous world of UCFV student politics.

DeLadurantayc claims hejoined the Student union Soi.:iety following the 'llrge to be involved' after ,1 recruitment meeting in Chilliwack in spring 2000. After operating in the capacity of Vice President Internal under Crysial Clements, DeLadurantaye ran against Clements fur SUS President in the Fall of 200 I. Despite the fav()ri ng of Clements at the voting polls, DeLadurantaye won the position due to a regulations dispute regurding Cle111en1s' apparent failure to rcmuvc all of her campuign po~tcrs pri11rto th<:elei.:tion.

During his short stint in the presidency, DcLaurantayc had three 'pct projects:' the introduction of a second readings policy, the finishing and furnishing of the new student activities center, as well as the ongoing goal of increasing student involvement in the SUS none of which he was able to sec to completion or fulfillment. "But [even knowing what I do now] I'd do it all again," he claims, "though there arc a few things I'd do diffcrently."

ln retrospect, DeLadurantc remembers times when "I didn't speak up when I should have." Though he recalls those in the i.:untext uf failure tu understand his role and a joh description - r,articularly as Vice President Internal - not to solely to agree and implement the discussions made in council, but also to think through, and advise on p()licics, motions and ideas being brought to the table.

DeLadurantaye's resignation followed a sticky situation in lhe SUS involving $4000 from September's DisOrientation even whii.:h remained unrc1.:oni.:ilcd by SUS Dir·ei.:tor ur East Campus. Ross Martin. DeLadurantaye was a key figure in instigat-

ing an investigation and eventually called the police against the majority phone-tree vote of council. This action prompted a motion to imr,each Mark, which was defeated 5-for, 5-against I-abstaining. however seeing the results of the motion illuminated to the SUS president what he now believes to be the SUS true colours. "It would seem that they arc a group of people more loyal to their own burcaueracy than to fundamental ethical principles," suggests DeLadurante. "I ike when you take money, it must be justified or returned it!"

DcLadurantayc admils to having personal conflicts with both former SUS Vice President External (nuw acting President), Dave Burnie. and former SUS Director, Leah Cote. He comments that, ''too a certain extent it will always be personal our jobs were all about people." a interesting thought - and ultimately a unique position to have been in by sorneone who is rnore detail and task oriented, us evidenced by his excitement over mechanics and biology. Huving given his best hand to the position, DcLauuramayc now recognizes thc advantages and disndvantagcs of the position as well as his own strengths and flaws

to fill it. Personal discrepancies with Burnie aside, DeLadurantaye's words of wisdom for the next president are simple, "Just don't let them [the organization, the university, .ind the council bureaucracy J push you around!"

When asked to comment on this 'sticky circumstances' surrounding his resignation, the room was silent for u moment in anticipation und contemplative thought before DeLadurantaye's bold remark, "I iend to stand for what J belief and don't back down!"

What's next for our ex-president?

lronieally enough, the former lead representative for the Student Union Society is now conternplating a position critiquing them.

The Toque student newspaper - perpetuatur of the "anti-Student Uniformity Society" attitude - has offered DeLadurantaye position in both AD-Sales as well as a position as their General Manager, which he is seriously i.:onsidering, while focusing on his stutlies in the short-term meantime. DcLadurantayc is a third year Biology student and hopes to transfer to pre-Medicine in Kingston, Ontario in the fall or 2002.

In light of six academic ycurs under the prnvinciul tuition fn:cze, and current uncertainty regarding the future of tuition rates at UCFV and throughout the province. the op1ions for offsetting the cutbacks tire liinited.

"Education is expensive enough now, that it is ol"icn necessary to work full-time outsidt of sthool and participation in WnrkS1udy just in order to maintain balanctd monetarily" maintains Natalie Bergamin, a fourth year M/\CS studenl.

'CAMP CAMPBELL' BRINGS PROTEST TO B.C. LEGISLATURE

By Kevin Groves, The Mnnlet

VJCTORI/\ (CUP) - Victoria activists camped oul on the B.C. government's doorstep since Feb. 6 may soon b<;?forced off the land.

Nearly 40 members of "Camp Campbell.'' a grnup of protesters angry with the province's stance on education and social programs, uwokc Tuesday morning to a Victoria police officer stating they muy soon remove the campers. A meeting was cal led and campers came together lo decide on what action they will take in a confrontation with police.

''We called everyone and their dog and now there's lots of media here," suid camp member Shune Culder. "Now we're just waiting to see if the police are going to make a move."

Calder added he doesn't know if the campers will soon be removed or not. Other campers agreed that a confrontation is imminent.

"Now that the media are here they're hanging around, which is making me very nervous because they may know something I don't." said camper Mary Conquest. "This could be an incentive for

the cops to close this down, so I'm worried there could be arrests."

It is illegal to camp on the legislature lawn and if arn.:sted campers could face fines of $2,000, Conquest said.

A spokesperson for Victoria police added there arc no lirm plans LU remove the carnpc1·sbut said that eventually they will have to go.

Passersby who stopped to stare at the campers were generally sympathetic with their attempts to draw attention to Lht: provincial government's t:uls to social pro• grams in B.C.

The campers said they were there 10 draw attention to a broad range of issues, including deregulated tuition and housing problems.

"A lot of people here don't have a home and live on the streets. so they're on the fronl lines and are going to suffer the most," Conquest s,1id. "Lots of people have asked us if this will be effective and we don't know, but we've got to Lry."

The campers hope to stay on the legislature lawn until a scheduled general strike on Feb. 23.

B.C. OPENS DOOR TO FEE HIKES

By Sarah MacNeill Morrison, Ubyssey

VANCOUVER (CUP) -The B.C. government announced Monday it will no longer regulate college and university tuition fees, pulling an end to a six-year legislated fee freeze and giving universities authority to increase fees to any level they wish.

The province's Advanced Education Minister Shirley Bond acknowledged that most stu<lents wanted the government to keep fees fro1,cn but said doing so was "not realistic."

Although student grnups had predicted the government would allow institutions to raise fees, most said they were stunned by yesterday's announcement.

"We firmly believe the government should play a rcgulato• ry role in education," said Erfan Kazemi, president of the student association at the University of British Columbia. 'Tm disappointed and alarmed that there's no regulation."

Kazemi said the deregulation of fees in Ontario has proven unsuccessful and shouldn't be repeated in B.C. Fees have soared in a number of post-secondary progrnms in Onwrio since the province's Conservative government deregulated tuition fees in professional and graduute programs in 1998.

Summer Mcfadyen. B.C. chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS), said the government's announcement sends a clear message to students that colleges and universities arc a place for the wealthy.

But Bond said the province will continue to provide assistance through projects such as the student loans progrnm.

"[t's a challenge for students, but we believe that sllldcnts should invest in their post-secondary education." said Bond. "Our government already helps just about 70,000 students a year and we're going to continue to help those students in need."

The province's faculty associations are calling on the government lo guarantee that no student will be prevented from attendini.: a 8.C. university becausethey are unable to afford tuition.

talking about to government for a number of years now, and whul I um encouraged by is the recognition of the autonomy of the boards of governors at each of the universities tu address the issue of tuition.''

"It's u mmtcr now LO be decided and developed locally. and r think thm's the right place to do it," said Brian Sullivan. a UBC vice-president.

"The announcement was, from the university s point nf' view, a welcome vote of confidence in the ability of in~titutions to work with their communities to come up with nn approach to setting tuition that's fair and will help n~~urc the quality we all need," Sullivan added.

Robert Clift, executive director of the Confederation of Rumours had circulated that Bond would make a dedsion University Faculty Associations tif B.C. said he felt it wns unfair for the province to shift the burden nf' a funding short-fall onto the shoulders of students.

But according to Don Avison. president nf B.C.'s University Presidents' Council, an end to the tuition-fee freeze will benefit students.

Avison said he fell tuition levels were best decideJ ul the university level. where boards, students. senatesand faculties could discuss the issue.

"It's certainly a positive announcement from the perspective of the University Presidents' Council," said Avison. ''This is an issue thm the university presidents huve been

RATE YOUR PROFESSORS

By Nicole Pecenka

Do you best remember one Professor out of your entire college experience'! Did he or she stick out as the best instructor ever, easily explaining the most difficult concepts, stimulating your interest in the subject matter? Or, was he/she just plain hot? If any of these apply to you and you want others to know of your experiences, l would strongly recommend visiting ratemyprofessors.ca.

This site allows you to write up reviews of all your professors, be them good, bad, average. and/or gorgeous. There is a section where write-ups are available for the scrutiny of others. Few UCFV students have visited this site, as only 47 instructors were listed. Of the 8 instructors I have experienced at UCFV so far, only one was listed (as a good teacher, by the way).

The ratings on this site are not necessarily accurate, however. If one stu• dent in JOOis upset and writes in to the site negatively, that is not exactly an accurate representation of the entire class.

The SUS has attempted to implement a student database in the past, which would list professors by teaching style, so students may choose teachers compatible with their learning style. Unfortunately, although the questionnaire was widely distributed (look at pages 3 and 4 in your student handbook), the SUS received a grand total of 1 response,so didn't do anything with it.

If selecting instructors by teaching styles is something of interest to you, and you would like to "llesh out" the web site information, please do. The address is: rntemyprufcssars.cu.

If you think that the SUS should start a database of its own for the benefit of students, drop into the SUS office and give them your opinions.

All else asi<le, this web site is an amusing way to waste an afternoon.

LIFESTYLESAND SPORTS OLYMPICS

IN REVIEW

By Shannon Loewen

As of 11, 02. 2002

February 11th was certainly a turbulent day for Canada at the winier Olympics. First Jeremy Wotherspoon tripped and fell in the first I 00 meters of the men's 500m speed skate, and then the Canadians were completely swept out of the medals in the men's half pipe.

However, the most tragic event of the day occurred at the Salt Lake Ice center when the long progrnrn for pairs' figure skating was held. Silver medallists David Pelltier and Jamie Sale skated a !lawless performance: one that had the crowd weeping and cheering in their scats. fndeed as one reporter said, their rendition of 'Love Story' was "dusted with gold."

The Gold medallists Anton Sikharulidzc and Elena Berezhraya however stumbled and wobbled at least twice in their performance, and though they certainly skated beautifully it was lacking somewhat of the nuidity and passion exhibited by the Canadian couple. Indeed it was plain to sec that Bcrezhraya and Sikharulidze wm.: fighting for every jump and move,

So what gives? What was going through the minds of those judges? These questions arc

on the lips of every Canadian. There is one word that can possibly explain this whole mess. It is a word that is found at the very heart of the murky and r.:omplicat• ed world of figure skating. This word is pol• itics.

rt is well known lhal Russia has dominated the world of figure skating, pairs' skating in particular. ln the past 44 years they have won 10 gold medals, only losing once in 1960to a Canadian couple. Now they add an I I th medal to their collection - but is it a medal fairly earned'!

One of the sadder facts of figure skating is that the judges tend to gather in a group and judge one nationality over another. These blocks have taken championships away from those who truly deserve it to satisfy political demands, ln my opinion, to allow such demands to prevail over hard work un<l incredibly beautiful performance is both maddening and tragic.

It has also been argued lhat Sale and Pelletier lost the gold metal due to their pro• gram not being as technically difficult as their Russian counterparts. Though indeed the Russian program was slightly harder, the implementation of it was nawcd and wooden - the Canadian implementation was

A "NEW" OLYMPICSPORT

By Nicole Pecenka

Skeleton. This seems a rather ominous title for a competitive sport conducted at "breakneck'' speed, but that's the na111e. The Oly111piccommittee seems eager to add a new sport with every Olympiad. This year. skeleton has been intro• duced tu the schedule or events. along with first-ti mer women's bobsled.

Skeleton is basically the luge upside down and backwards, l'vc always refen·ed to this us "sledding,·• but maybe that's just me. fmagine this: instead of

hurtling down an icy chute at I JO km/h feet first on your back (luge), skeleton is hurtling down lhat same icy chttle at a comparable speed face first on your stonIach. Personally, if 11ml a choir.:cbetween crushing into a wall anu shattering my legs or ernshing into a wall and shattering my neck, I'd have lo go with the legs.

Skeleton's name is derived from bnck in the I 800's when a new sled design came out that was skeletul in appearance; the name stuck. The sport of skeleton has been i.lround over 100 years. originating in St. Moritz, I wonder if a 5 lb hunk ol' metal could move quite so fasl in 1889'? This is the first Olympiad for skeleton since the winter Olympics of 1948, Good luck tu Canada's skeleton competitors. You're braver souls than J.

nor. ll was. in a word, perfect. But perhaps it shouldn't have been a surprise. One could have almost regarded the crash of Sale into Siklrnrulidzc <luring the practice skate as an omen. The Russian dynasty and the Canadian competition met in a bang that night but the Russian remained standing while the Canadian did not. II is hard to say.

However. none of this mess is the fault of any of the skaters. They did their best. I for one would like Lo know the judges' reason• ing behind the way they marked; so would many others. Perhaps then the sting would be less great.

In other news,

Joyfully the Canadian women's hockey team mopped the floor with Kazakhstan 7 to 0 and the men's and women's curling teams beat Great Britain and Sweden respectively. It's just getting started folks.

Also the Cascade is seeing about getting an interview with Abbotsford's Olympian Alanna Kraus. She's p.irlicipating in lhc women's speed skating 500m. IOOOm,and I 500m and also the 3000m speed skatin!;\ relay. We will update you as the situation develops.
