InternationalDevelopment Primary Focus of Week Activities held Feb. 6-10 at Abbotsford campus give a 'hands on' approach to development

By Monique Marchant Shining through UCFV's apathetic student body, the International Club and the International Education Department(IED) focused their spotlight on International Developmentweek.

The weekof February6-10, saw a series of activities that appealed to both the cultural and intellectual tastes of people at UCFV. Jordanka Tomkova, a founding member of the International Club, played a large role in organizing the week's activities.

"One of the mandatesof the club is to bring attention toand promote internationaldevelopment,"Tomkovasaid.

"By giving students activities to do, it makes it more real, and facts become realities."

Monday was the kickoff for the International Year of Tolerance. To help UCFV celebrate, marimba player AlejandroRuizplayed in the Great Hall over the lunchhour for the studentswho were gatheredthere or just passingby.

Guillermo Gernandez, a student political activist from Guatemala spoke in two of Ron Dart's classes. He talked to interested students about human rights violations and the basic history of Guatemala.

Tuesday was supposed to be a debate between Ian McAskill,the EconomicsDepartmentHead of UCFV, and Scott Fast, a Political Science instructor. The topic was "Development - Business vs~Ethics." Even though the philosophiesof thesetwomen differ somewhat,they agreed on many things which were discussed.

Linda Toews from the IED thought that this was a positive occurrence. She said that "it's good for the studentsto see that even though those philosophicalbiases differso much, they agreed on a lot." Ittumed outto be two lecturesfollowedby a questionandanswerperiodinvolving the 30 or so people who attended.

On Wednesday the opportunity was presented for

studentsto participatein a workshop. Groups of3-4 people took on the role of being a government and develop a country. Through co-operationand discussion they had to solveproblemsthat governmentsdeal with everyday. They got a taste of what it is like to be a world leader as they discussed things such as what they need to import, agriculture, population control, religion, women's issues, goals and objectives, self-sufficiency, and the overall responsibilitybehind looking after 23.8 million people.

The International Club got together with World University Services Canada on Thursday and presented a slide show. It portrayed students' experiences in developmentwork in the Philippines and Zimbabwe.

Guest speakerIsabellaGalhos was brought into the Abbotsford campus theatre on Friday. She is a student

refugee from East Timor. The International Club and AmnestyInternational had her gjve a first hand view of the on going crisis in East Timor.

One activity which was ongoing throughout the week was the Crafts of the World sale. The MCC set up a booth with self-help crafts. They had a very successful week of sales. Toews said that "they like the fact that it gives them the chance to tell people about the stores."

"I thought the week went great. The International Club studentsworkedreally hard and were committedto it.

Comingfrom the students,that's what makes it work," said Toews, the InternationalClub sponsor.

"It was even better than we expected. The whole week went beyond our expectations," a jubilant Tomkova said at the conclusion of the week.

New Pay-Parking Proposal Passes on Semester Passes

By Bryan Sikora

Out, damn wheel lock. But taking the threat of having your vehicle towed.

After Execu-ParkParking Ltd. was allegedly served a "fundamentalbreach of contract," U. C. Fraser Valley is planning to reintroduce pay parking - this time operated by UCFV. "The earliest we could reinstatepay parking is six to eight weeks, because it wouldtake that long to get the equipmentin place, if our proposal is accepted," said Norah Andrew, Dean of Administration and Finance at UCFV. The UCFV Board must approve the proposal before it can be implemented.

Detailsof the new parkingproposal are much the same as the previous system, the only difference being the absence of 1ts place will be

Forums to be held to gather student input on administration of pay-parking system. wheellocks. In its place, towingwill be the methodof enforcingthepaymentof parking violation notices (PVN's).

"We have to use tows for some parking violations, fire lanes being a good example," Andrew said. "Also, a wheel locked car can't be left overnight, and we are trying to keep the process as simple as possible."

"However, we don't want to tow anyone, and our past experience is that towing can'be kept to a minimum."

The daily charge will remain at 50 cents, with no opportunity to purchase semesterparkingpasses. Andrew said that many other institutionswere looked at, but the ideaof parkingpasseswerenot included

in this current proposal.

"Our model is similar to S.F.U. and Okanagan(UniversityCollege) except that we won't havepasses," she said. "The cost is about the same, and since we have a real shortageof parking on Abbotsford,we felt that passes would create more problems."

She noted that it would be difficult to administerthe passes in such a way that the parkinglots would neither be empty, or too full.

Other points in the latest parking proposal include: ■ metered/ticket parking for visitors; max. 2hours ■ carpoolparkingspots,withfeesranging fromfree, forfourpersonspervehicle,to $30

for two personsper vehicle ■ free parking for people disabilities ■ free parking for volunteers/guestsof UCFV ■ free parking for motorcycles and bicycles, in designatedareas ■ a UCFV Parking Appeal committee consisting of staff and students.

The revenue created from pay parking will go towards maintaining the lots, after operating expenses are paid, Andrew told The Cascade. The remainder will be earmarked for general operating revenues.

Open forums will be held on both campuses to discuss this proposal. . It will be held in Abbotsford on February20at 12:30p.m.inroomA100, by the cafeteria. Chilliwackcampus will host the forum February 21 at noon in room Agll4.

Education in B.C. received a big boost on February 2.

The province of B .C. announced that it will inject $1OOmilliontowardsthe construction of a new technical university, serving 3,300 students.

Thenew facility,to be built in Cloverdale, will help meet the demands of the growing Fraser Valley population, which will double in the next 30 years to 1.4 million.

Opening in 1999, theschoolisaresultof many studies that have concluded that there is an urgentneed for betteraccess to post secondary education. Presently, the region's postsecondary participation rate is less than twothirds the B.C. average.

It will offer applied degrees, as the changing needs of the labour force have made graduateswith applieddegrees veryemployable. ''Through expanded access to education, students will gain relevant work skills, learn advanced technology and prepare for employmentin the labourmarkets of the future," PremierMike Harcourtsaid in a release. "That's what applied studies is all about."

Assisting in the development of the asyet unnamed institution will be representatives from U. C. Fraser Valley, as well as Kwantlen University College and B.C.I.T. Working in cooperationwillensurethat theprogramsoffered at the new school will complement the existing and planned programs at other facilities.

Over the past 4 years, U. C. Fraser Valley and Kwantlen College have received over $130 million for capital spending.

Free Papers Banished Regional Library Board tosses out gay & lesbian mag.

By Bryan Sikora

The paper is off the shelf and back in the closet.

But joining the gay and lesbian publicationXtra! Westthis time are other informative papers, such as the Abbotsford Times, the Christian Info News and the Georgia Strait.

In a bid to ''protect our children" from the sexually explicit personal advertisements found in Xtra! West, the Fraser Valley Regional Library Board (FVRLB) voted to ban all free "commercial" publications that contain advertisements and promote products or services.

At the FVRLB meeting held Feb. 8 in the Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, members voted 9-4 to remove all free "commercial" publications from its free distribution shelves. A crowd of over 60 concerned citizens attended the meeting to hear the final decision, along with many media types. · The issue of banning Extra! West arose when a reader complained about the sexually explicit personal advertisements featured in the publication. It was thought that because the newspaperwas in the freedistribution shelves, children may have been able to read the material.

At the University College of the

Finnegan~ Billiards &Games Room Just above the Pub

Fraser Valley,Extra!West is not available at either the campus libraries or the bookstores, as is the case with many other free publications.

Betty Harris, director of library services at UCFV's libraries, said that she isn't aware of any requests for Extra! West at any of the campus libraries.

When asked about the FVRLB's ban on free commercial publications, she immediately responded "librariansare, in general, opposed to censorship in any form, in principle."

"I don't know of any instance here at UCFV where a free publication has been objected to," Harris said. "We actually encourage one computer magazine to be dropped off." · Presently,UCFV'slibrarydoes not have a policy concerning objectionable

free material available through the libraries, with Harris stating that there hasn't been a need for one in the past.

"There is a policy that deals with objections to material in our.collection," she added. "It's only been used once, though, when a parent objected to a children's book. That's the only official complaint we've received."

If a situation were to arise concerninga freepublicationin thelibrary, Harris told The Cascade that she would discuss the matter with the UCFV Student Society and others in the UCFV community to formulate a plan.

Mission Accomplished A new UCFV campus will finally be calling Mission home in the fall of 19%.

After five years of planningand politicking,the "MissionJoint Project" will open in Septemberof next year, much to the joy of UCFV President Peter Jones. ''This will help the future of UCFV by better serving an important growing community,"Jones said. "In this business, you always have to be thinking about ten years ahead of present."

The project, in cooperationwith the municipalityof Mission, SchoolDistrictNo. 75 (Mission), and UCFV, will have an integrated learning centre, including a high school, a universitycollege campus, and community cultural and recreational facilities.

Thefirstphaseof thenewcampuswillopenwith250full timeequivalents(FIE' s),which amountsto about400 individualstudents- more thantwicethe numberofUCFV studentsnow at the MissionCentre.

Con cert Review ==================

The Cramps

Philip Borsos' work will continue to live on in The Grey Fox and Far From Home.

By Jolayne Marsh Arriving in time to catch the opening band is an important part of a Commodore Ballroom show. Last Thursday, January 19, I made my way to the big city for the Cramps show, and luckily remembered that I should allow time to find a decent seat and get a drink before the opener took the stage. I was rewarded well for my forethought.

The seats at the Commodore, for those of you who have never witnessed it for yourselves, are plentiful. The Ballroom's monstrous (and shall I remind you, notoriously bouncy) dance floor is flanked by tables on the floor level and more are just steps higher.

At the back there is another level, raised well above the main bar, which is where I found a seat. The view of the stage from there is high enough that you can see over the heads of moshers to the band, and these seats seem to fill last, so you can nearly always find a good one.

There is also another bar, in case you feel inclined to pay $4.25 of your hard-won loan money on one of a limited selection of domestic bottled beer, and can't wait fot the server to remember they are on shift.

Getting on with it, the opener for the show was a laugh.

Lick the Pole they were called, and their lyrical theme was something of a drunk atjuvie hall with incarcerated teenagej whores.

Two little trollops, displaying blond wigs, tu-tus and cleavage, were the singers, or rather, scene-stealing howlers.

They were not so musically inclined as a couple of inebriated chimps, but sexier. Pouting, taunting the audience, groping themselves and each other, they got the attention of the bar.'

God, I love punk fans! Highlight of their performance was a. cover of the Beck song "(Everyone's Out to Get You), Motherfucker."

After that, it is hard to imagine a band grabbing the• audience's attention, but Doo Rag (possibly Dew Rag) came on and the dance floor filled immediately. These guys were, amazing!

Their sound was some kind of high RPM hillbilly music, done of one guitar and a drum. They looked like a couple of yokels, in John Deere caps and snap-button shirts.

The drummer was especially remarkable. Seated up front next to the guitarist on some very low stool, he beat at his drum under his chair, arms flailing out to his side in al furious, tribal wail. Their sound didn't change much throughout, but it never got tiresome in the 40 or so minutes they played.

The Cramps came to a roar of the audience and I decided to take leave of my seat and get a closer look. Led by Lux Interior, wearing shiny, black, skin-hugging latex and patent pumps, they were a non-stop joyride in a stolen Thunderbird. Nothing surprising, as they have been performing live for many years and have become known for Lux' s stage antics and guitarist Poison Ivy's sexy stand-offishness.

Lux, aging and now cleaned up (it has been said,) has lost some of his youthful vigor and creepy, lusty appeal. I guess years of touring and drug abuseshouldshow somewhere.

My own experience of him was heightened when he kicked my beer (though nearly empty) off the speaker I was pressed into and pushed a few of us out of the way to climb over our. heads to the top of the speaker tower. ' The vampy-looking crowd seemed to be old fans, since the new hit (with MuchMusic rotation video, etc.)

"Ultratwist" from their new album Flamejob,was not nearly as well received as their classic hits like "Garbageman" (one of my favorites, from the Bad Musicfor Bad People album.)

If the old saying is true, I guess I can't say that I witnessed the Cramps at all (If you remember the Cramps, you weren't there!) Although this has been said about many other live performances ( the Dead, the Doors, among others) it seemed to be especially true for the Cramps, if the glazed looks in the eyes of the audience members is any indicator. · So next time (hopefully there will be another tour in a couple years) I plan to get myself good and unbalanced beforehand.

Then perhaps I can say that I have truly experienced the Cramps live.

By Jolayne Marsh Vancouverfilmgoershavelostamajorcontributor to the local, and national, film world.

Philip Borsos, 41, died this past week of complications resulting from a long battle with leukemia.

His works are well respected and have been influential to other prominent Canadian film makers, including Vancouver's Atom Egoyan (Exotica, The

Adjuster).

His best known, TheGreyFox, released in 1983, was awarded numerous Genie awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Foreign Actor (Richard Farnsworth), and Best Screenplay. His currently running family film, Far FromHome: TheAdventuresof Yellow Dog , has received glowing reports from critics and fans alike.

His style, like his personality, was unmistakable.

Madeleine Harqin, UCFV faculty member, who had known Borsos for 18 years and worked with him on The Grey Fox, was happy to give me a few minutes for an interview.

When asked whether he had been easy to work with, Hardin pointed out that she'd never met a film director who was easy to get along with.

"He was very demanding. But he had a good soul, and a good humanity. You never minded."

She described his as "uncommonly focused, with the most penetrating eyes, like two black coals .."

Far From Home, Madeleine told me enthusiastically, was a perfect characterization of the triumph of an 11-yearold boy and his dog. No saccharine Disney plots or beautiful high-paid actors,just believable characters.

"He was true to the family and to childhood, and made a picture which was about real people," which was

Borsos' hallmark. She said he elevated the mundane to an art form.

TheGrey Fox was a brilliant depiction of Bill Miner, the Gentleman Bandit, released from San Quentin in 1904 after 30 years of incarceration.

Richard Farnsworth(nominatedforanOscarforhisperformance in Comes a Horseman),was perfect as Miner, with a sparkle in his eye and a dignified demeanor. Hardin remarked when it was release that "a lot of us thought it was the beginning of good movies in Canada."

Borsos' career as a film maker started with the trio of Canadian industrial documentaries Cooperage, Spartree,and Nails. He created an affecting correlation between the trade workers of yesterday and the factory production lines of today, and the loss of the human element to manufacturing. , TheGreyFox could be said to follow this theme, placing a stagecoach robber into the twentieth century, where he has no choice but to adapt his skills for train robbery.

After the success of TheGrey Fox, Borsos went south of the border to make a two films oflesserrenown, Mean Streets(1984) and One Magic Christmas(1985).

VancouverSun movie critic, Peter Birnie, in discussing One Magic Christmas,said that "it was not standard movie fluff, it had a dark edge for a Christmas movie."

In 1993, he returned to Canada and attempted Dr. Bethune,a co-production with a Chinese production house, which he eventually lost creative control of, having difficulties with star Donald Sutherland, financial troubles, and problems with the Chinese government.

When his illness began to get the better of him in the production of Far FromHome,hehad to give up the final edit to 20-year old collaborator and friend Peter O'Brien.

Phillip Borsos left an indelible mark on the face of Canadian film making.

TheGreyFox is available at IMS, andFar From Home,now playing at theCineplex Odeon in Abbotsford (the matinees on Saturday and Sunday), is one movie that we should all feel lucky to see. Take your kids, or even a date, to areal 'feel-good' movie, which everyone will enjoy. · And then you can say you've seen a film by this remarkable man, and you'll truly be sorry he's gone.

RANTS, RAVES, & ASSORTED REVIEWS

Stupidity and lgnoranc·eAbound.

By Nolan Webb Recently a friend noted that he spotted a lone male in the middle of the road yelling and screaming while waving a sign that read "No More Taxes." What on earth does this accomplish? Let's take this one step further and generalize to the majority of protests.

The majority of protesters can't discern the facts of their particular issue from the emotions in their heads.

For every one educated and well-informed protester there , are at least a dozen boneheads letting their emotions run wild while fulfilling their own innate desire for affiliation.

The educated and well-informed protester realizes that there must be a proposed solution if there is a problem with an existing condition. To merely yell at the top of your lungs at ·ambivalent pedestrians or motorists that you despise this particular politician or this particular proposition is to shoehorn yourself with the rest of the "trailer-park politicians" who holler that the country would be better off if there were no taxes orno immigratio~ or no tuition hikes whatsoever.

An excellent example of this is the recent protests regarding proposed education-spending cutbacks that would likely increase tuition. Throughout all of the time spent yelling up and down hallways occupied by students who were often attempting to accomplish something, and spent listening to the speakers in the Great Hall, I heard only two possible solutions: to tax the rich, and to cut

other government spending. These options are proposed with such generality and emptiness that it can only be seen as ignorance.

Those who might have actually accomplished something regarding this protest would have been writing letters and collecting signatures to overturn these potential policies, or attempting to get in touch with local MP' s.

Standing in the middle of the road waving your emotional arms and your solution-less signs at innocent citizens is only asking for someone to swear at you or accidentally hit you. It's a wonder someone wasn't killed with this kind of stupidity.

It's time to come to the realization that we as ordinary Canadians must find solutions for our financial problems, or leave them up to the politicians that represent us. The politicians in this country are aware that no-one wants to be taxed and at the same time no-one wants their social programs cut back at all.

Do you honestly believe the myth that politicians think that most students, pensioners, welfare recipients, and the unemployed can afford to take large decreases in benefits without having their lives drastically changed?

Time to wake up and smell the coffee you hoarsethroated idiots. The government is forced by their job criteria to whole-heartedly face the scariest reality of all, a reality that most of the general public never has to realistically think about, that a country in huge debt is a country set for demise.

Ride the Cutting Edge Ginger s Chris Hooper speaks on resur:rection, computers~ & • music.

By Nolan Webb Recently I had the chance to chat with a member of Nettwerk's Ginger, the orphaned child of the Grapes of Wrath breakup of a couple of years.

I know there's probably a few of you who have had your heads stuck in the piles of manure and hay that still haven't heard whathappened. ltseemstheGrapes monster got too big for itself and, as Chris says, "we had stopped playing music for the sake of playing music."

So Chris and his brother Tom parted ways with third member Kevin Kane and Ginger has emerged, while Kane hasn't been spotted in months (although he is rumored to be working on a solo project).

While this new direction meant a temporary break from the piles of awards and the packed arenas of their past, it also offered a breath of fresh air.

"It's really cool sincewe' ve been p_laying packed little bars.

We treat it like a new band and hopefully we can make it exciting

Playing on the technological highway, Ginger has released their latest album in a CD-ROM format.

for everyone else," says Hooper.

This excitement has more than spilled over to the music community, undoubtedly because theirnew, rawer sound has enabled them to touch new people with their music.

The band's first singles, "Solid Ground" and "Earth Revolves Around You" have received great support fro the radio

and music video industries and gigs across the country have been phenomenal.

But for the music industry people and for fans everywhere, the next most exciting thing after Ginger's rise from the ashes is the fact that this album is available in a CD ROM format.

As Hooper honestly mentions, "Atfirstwedidn'tknow

what we could do with it. We knew nothing about it. But we quick! y came to the realization that we could do anything we wanted with it."

So the CD itself consists of the entire recorded audio album, as well as an abundance of additional information.

Included in the package are full music videos for the singles, studio footage, still

photos and complete bio information.

Hooper suggests what will soon become fact: "It is going to be a standard for the industry."

Hopefully the innovativeness ofNettwerk and the unique talent of Ginger will continue to ride the cutting edge of music entertainment.

By Dallas J. Minister of Multi-Media, Sex, Drugs, and Violence The human condition is a strange thing: over time, it makes necessities out of luxuries. . For example, I did not submit an article for the last paper since my computer had died. Could I not just go to the office of The Cascadeand simply type an article there?

Could I not go to my partner's house and use her computer to whip up something for my column? At the very least, could I not just write something freehand and be done with it?

In two words: NOWAY! I sold what was left of my soul to Future Shop and got a powerful and gratuitous system that I do not know how to use. I will have revenge on myself, yet.

Anyway, I am here and so are you, so let us not try to make things worse, O.K.?

Before I went insane and wasted everything, I went and saw John Singleton's Higher learning.

It was not a bad show on the surface (kind of like an after-school special with swearing and violence), but it occurred tome afterwards that Singleton uses the same

heavy-handed formula here that he used in his other films, while trying to direct the music at a different audience.

Being a university student that has gone to this institution longer than God, I know when I am being preached at and I am also familiar with this type of story.

Yes, we all know that being prejudicial and racist is bad but why does this movie depend so much on stereotypes? Is it so that the characters are easy to identify because there is not enough time to establish real identities for the fact that the movie is trying to do too much?

Is it true that all white males are either drunken, redneck, date-rapists, or dejected, skinhead Nazi's, with the occasional annoying S.N.A.G. (Sensitive New-Age Guy)? Sorry, Singleton, I am none of the above.

Of course, the real disgust should be directed at the audience that I shared the theatre with. Groans and sounds 'of dissatisfaction were beard throughout the crowd when the scenes where one student explores their bisexuality were shown. This made me very aware that the experiment was no longer on the wall, it was in the audience.

Throwing stereotypes on the screen and then telling the audience to relate, to

open up, to understand what's going to happen. The characters have to seem to be flesh to the audience, instead of twodimensional, in order for them to learn to accept and appreciate the differences in everyone.

Do not interpret this as the "I want to love everyone" - type sentiment (I shall leave that to the SNAG's), this is just a message to other film makers who want to move fast and wide: save the sweep for an action movie, these are people that we're talking about.

As I mentioned before, I now have no money. Thankfully, I have my significant other to keep me sane: she bought me the soundtrack to Higher Learning (550 Music/ Epic). The soundtrack, too, moves fast and wide.

Apart from the outstanding tracks by Ice Cube, Rage Against The Machine, and Liz Phair, the whole piece tries to be so diversified that there is no possibility of unity. You will find yourself skipping over several of the thirteen songs just to find the three that you like. Of course, those three are really good, so take your chances.

O.K., that is it. I will be back next issue ifl can fine some money to buy another CD. Until then, question the knowledge that says, "Qi>estion the knowledge." C-Ya!

Maximum Sentences A Must An open letter t9 the Judge who will preside over an upcoming D. U. I.case: Another beer, another life.

After a night of drinking, Abbotsford resident Michael Shawn Peters, 23, was driving home when he allegedly ran a red light in his Chevy truck.

At precisely the same moment, though, 24-year-old Sherri Bell was on her way through the same intersection.

The result was devastating: Bell - a heart transplant recipient - was quickly and violently taken away from us. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Once again, another drunk driver kills while behind the wheel of the vehicle. It happens more often than the mass media cares to report. You see it yourself in your courtroom day in and day out.

The general public has seen enough, and is saying "No more" to driving while under the influence of alcohol.

There are numerous groups and organizations that encourage using alternate methods of traveling, not drinking, using designated drivers; everything that keeps impaired drivers off our roads.

But drinking and driving still happens,

and people still get murdered.

Meanwhile, Peters will, if he does what's in his best interest, hire an expensive attorney to weave a web of technicalities that will hopefully get him off the charge that has been laid against him.

The case will go before our justice system, where you will hear the evidence about the case and ultimately decide the innocence or guilt of Peters. If. found guilty, another hearing will determine the sentence that will be given to the defendant.

This is where you, and the judicial system fail us. It is time for you, Hon. Judge, to listen to the public and set an example: throw the book at this killer! In this specific case, Peters could receive a maximum of 14 years behind bars. Send him away for 14 years. The laws are there - use them before another person is the victim of a drunk driver.

Next time, it could be your wife or husband, son or daughter who is the victim, like Bell. For their sake, execute your power, Hon. Judge, and use your wisdom to do the right thing.

Letters to Ed.

Who s Fault was it?

1

Dear Ed.: I was watching T.V. this morning with my Oma. Oma is the German equivalent of Grandmother. We were watching a special on the Holocaust. As watched I was stricken by one thing in particular; the commentator illustrated how the German's master plan was to destroy all Jewish prisoners and so on. I glanced at my Oma and saw the expressive I had seen so many times before. Pain.

The problem I have with this report was it was incorrect and fallacious. My Oma was living inGermanyduringthewar. MyOpafoughtonthe Russian front in the middle of a Siberian winter.

I submit to anyone reading this: they had no plans to kill Jewish people. They had no idea what was going on in all the death camps.

My Opa was drafted, as was required of all German youths, to serve two years in the German army. He had just finished his two years when the war began. He was forced to stay another six years. My Oma lived at home with her sisters where they farmed. When the elections came they were allowed to vote- for Hitler. They weren't given much choice in the matter. Hitler bullied his way into the German state and that is a fact.

Not once did Opa hate Jewish people. He only did what he was told- he fought for his

country. He didn't know what was happening in the death camps.

Yet when you watch most presentations on the Holocaust we were told it was the Germans who committed these horrible acts. It was not the German's, it was the Nazi's. I define a Nazi as anyone who supported what occurred in the death camps knowingly. I charge these well thought out programs with the fallacy of Guilt by Association. My Opa couldn't help what was going on. My Oma was just a girl in a society where the woman's place was in the kitchen.

I implore anyone who cares to listen, the holocaust was ultimately wrong and needs to be remembered for all time, but please do not assume all Germans that lived through the war are guilty.

If that occurs our society will become a place in which everyone is guilty of something. We can see this occurring with the Airborne Regiment and how it has caused a filter to be cast over our eyes regarding the Canadian Forces.

As a single white male I guess I'm not supposed to feel upset because of how this society is completely my doing, but I do. I mourn the victims of the Holocaust but I will tell my children that they can be proud of their heritage because my family tried to do what so many today do not realize- they tried to live through the war.

Apathy for the Rich & Pathetic Dear Ed.: To all the students who droveexceedingl y fast through our student information line, I hope you have wealthy parents other wise you might not be able to afford your loan payments for your nice new cars.

I would like to thank student union president for helping set up the P.A. system, even though he did not have the moral fiber to join the rest of the student union members on the information line. Thanks for the "apathy" Clarence!!!!!

I would also like to comment on the mysterious disappearanceof some of our tuition fee increase protest signs.

The removal of these..signs was unjustified, and formal action will be taken against the people who committed this crime.

Straight from the X-Files is "The Case of the Missing Mega-Phone" that mysteriously disappeared after the Student Union had reserved it. I have a funny suspicion that the mysterious and very seldom seen "P.J. Munster" knows the whereabouts of this Mega-Phone.

I would also like to thank the faculty for supportingus and the services people for bringing us coffee. We all greatly appreciatedit. Thanks!!

There will be a big "Get Well Soon Card" for Lyn Savage, on the wall outside the Student Union Office in the 'E' building, please sign this card. (We will also be collecting spare change for get-well flowers for her.)

In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that: EDUCATION IS NOT A PRIVILEGE IT IS A RIGHT. Robin Price

The new Learning Resource Centre provides an interesting perspective of itself. The Abbotsford library witl begin moving into the new facility at the end of the Winter semester.

- Solomon A Story by Ron Dart There once lived a woman and her hawk. They lived in a small village in the Alps. The village was a quiet and peaceful place, the people worked hard and throughout the canton it was known as the most productive and efficient village.

As time went on, some people began to complain about the woman and her hawk.

She spent most of her days sitting on a rocky crag with her hawk, gazing out over the village, producing nothing, seemingly oblivious to the needs of the people. Soon, more and more people began to complain, because they thought the woman was lazy, and they insisted that she was not contributing to the welfare of the community. The woman tried to protest, but she was not listened to. The people

resented feeding the hawk with funds from the common purse, because it, like the woman, appeared to be doing nothing.

A committee was formed, and they voted to banish the woman and her hawk, unless they reformed their ways and acted like the rest of the people. A letter was sent to her, stamped with the official seal of the village and the canton, and the next day at dawn, the woman and the hawk left.

A few years passed, and life in the village continued as usual. But five. years after the woman left, most of the people in the alpine village died. A disease carried by an army of rodents had crawled into every chalet, infecting parents and cpildren alike.

The moment the woman and the hawk left the village, the rodents knew they could begin to enter it without being seen or stopped. ·

Abbotsford Provincial By-election

,A Question of Ethics · By Ryan Warawa

I'm sure that the paramedics won't mind you singing a chorus or two of "Close To You" in the ambulance.

Hopefully you didn't forget, on that great "day ofluuuv," the other people whom we hold near and dear to our hearts: FRIENDS! The ones who will be right there with us till the bitter end.

So grab a handful of red-hots and tell your best friend bow much you appreciate him/her always being there for you. Don't be shy or afraid to get a little bit mushy.

(It was V-Day, they'll understand).

And lastly, in this materialistic day and age, I would like to point out that it is not al ways the largest box of chocolates or the biggest bouquet of roses that shows the greatest affection.

So for all you budding Romeo's and/or Juliet's who neglected to give something to your sweetie, I suggest looking into your heart, rather than into your wallet to find the way(s) to express how you feel.

With a provincial byelection right around the corner in Abbotsford; I would like to pose a question: is it ethical for a candidate to run for a riding in which they don't live in?

This became a big issue in last year's provincial by-election in Vancouver-Quilchenna and Matsqui. Gordon Campbell, the

By Vincent Chand UCFV Student Linc Have you ever had an idol? Someone you looked to and said: "Someday that will be me." I think we all have and still do.

Whether real or imagined, we all have some sort of image on our minds of what we want to accomplish, and who we want to become. In fact, we spend a majority of our time and energy striving for our ideals. For some the effort will take a lifetime, others may reach their satisfaction sooner; but however long the journey, the desire to complete it motivates all that we do, and becomes the focus of our deepest needs.

If we are to complete this journey though, it is important for us to grasp the truth that there is no shame or loss in being in need. For those of us who were raised to be strong and independent, neediness is an often frightening condition that we will do almost anything to avoid.

The need to constantly feel firmly in command of our destiny and successful in all that we attempt is something ingrained into us by a culture which places far more value on what you possess and what you do,

winner in the Vancouver byelection, lived in a different riding.

The same issue arose to a greater extent in Matsqui, when it was found out that a majority of the candidates didn't even live in the riding of Matsqui.

Grace McCarthy, the Social Credit leader at the~inie, ..

than who you are as a human being. Ours is a culture based on symbols of success (materialism), and the ability to influence outcomes and accomplish goals (power). It prevents us from pursuing those very things that are most important in life: relationships where we can love unconditionally, know intimately, and share vulnerably without fear of repression.

This is the sort of relationship that people were intended to have, both with each other, and with God. It is only because of our stubborn self-will, and desire for control and influence that the majority ofus are not experiencing the kind of total relationship, and consequent abundant life, that God desires for us. Whether by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, most of us try to reach for our ideals on the strength of our own merits alone.

God has an ideal in mind for each one of us, and it involves a personal relationship with Him through Jesus Christ.

We all may have our own ideals, but what we really need is to discover the perfect ideal, and to actively seek it, always mindful of what is truly important in life.

was heavily criticized as a "parachute candidate."

The Reform BC leader at the time, Ron Gamble, didn't live in the riding either. Finally, the liberal winner, Mike de Jong, lived in the Abbotsford riding.

Is it ethical or fair for these winners to not even live in tlie ridings which they

represent? Ultimately, it is up to the voters to decide the answer!

I personally have no problem with a candidate not living in the riding, just as long as they WILL represent their constituents' concerns in Victoria if elected! It's up to us all to decide!

Echo

. .... ,,.··~,.~

ff I was to die I'd die alone .••

I fear being unknown.

I fear for my being ordinary.

Each night draws coldly close to me and calls for me to tell my story.

And I have so little to say but that which I've heard: once the sights and sounds have left me, /am empty.

Hear my silent echo of tears on the stillness of night.

I brave the darknesses that hide me from those who would know me.

An albatross flying so beautifully but dreading the end of flight, a kingfisher diving and wondering whether or not to return to air, a blind man collapsed within and refusing to hear a writer with a conscience a God refuting his worshippers.

I applaud the sleepwalkers I applaud those who have only one dream over and over.

Blessed are those who take each day in turn saving for vacations, kissing their brides ...

Damned are those with no prayers and no resumes, damned is me for writing blasphemy and innuendo and believing all an none of it.

I wish to be a rainmaker bringing tears to the eyes of the unknowns causing emotions in all those who are ordinary wishing no contact for fear of critic;ism fear of misunderstanding on my part fear of finding more flaws then I've already countered fear of being as different as the rest ...

And dying all the, same and taking all with me ...

Each stem has thorns; pricks to defend beauty.
