Consider this scenario: Quebec holds another referendum on sovereignty. Only this time the federal government decide to take a much "tougher" stance on unity. Peaceful demonstrators march down a street in Montreal carrying banners and chanting pro-sovereignty slogans. The group of 200 hundred people arrive in the foyer of a downtown hotel bellowing "Qui!" Suddenly the demonstrators are locked into the foyer by the RCMP who proceed to fire warning shots and shoot rubber bullets into the crowd. The crowd panics. People try to 'escape the shots by breaking windows and climbing out, but many are sliced by the glass. Some of the "oui" supporters manage to escape; however, 48 are arrested and brought to the RCMP jail for interrogation. Only the nightmare doesn't end there. While in jail, the detainees are refused medical attention and contact with family.
Moreover, over the next few days most of the prisoners are subjected to illtreatment and beatings. In fact, eleven of the prisoners are so badly beaten they are later taken to a nearby hospital for emergency medical treatment. All this is confirmed by the two members of the Canadian Human Rights Commission who visit the prison. Yet, nothing is done. Seventeen of the demonstrators now face charges under "hate sowing" laws, though all reports prove that the demonstration was a peaceful political statement. No police officers involved in the human rights abuses are investigated or charged. Sound outrageous and unlikely? We would never allow that to happen, you reassure yourself. Well it did happen. No, not in Canada but in East Timor. A country invaded by Indonesia in the midseventies which has seen its population cut in half by military-run genocide.
Half. That's hundreds of thousands of human beings murdered. The scenario I just described really happened; pro-independence East Timorese youths really were shot at, arrested, beaten, and charged for participating in a peaceful demonstration on March 23rd of this year. They really are still waiting in the prison where they were violently assaulted (as confirmed by two members of Indonesia's Human Rights Commission).

Ken Dinnery President Student Union Society Letter To The Editor: I am writing in regard to the "Take Back the Night" rally and march scheduled for September 25th, 1997. While I support this event and the message it sends, that it is far and away time our society confront the issue of violence against women. I feel compelled to state my dismay and sadness in nregard to the fact that the event organizers seem unwilling to acknowlede the fact that such an important issue cuts across the lines of gender. As a child, I was a victim of abuse for years. I have vivid memories of lying in bed at night, in the dark, praying with all of my heartthat the bedroom door wouldn't openuntil morning. Of deperately trying to understand what I had done "this

Moments which seem like an eternity ago, but are really only a few weeks old. I am brought back to the days of summer. AHH! summer, it never comes soon enough or stays long enough. But summer isn't what it used to be. Gone are the times when summer meant family picnics and camping trips. Gone are the summers of our childhood when you could spend the whole day building a fort only to take it down and re-locate the next day. Gone are the summers when playing baseball and building cities and roads in the sand was your only commitment. Gone are the da s of
go-seek, and Saturday morning cartoons. Here and now are the summers when we fight for jobs to survive and pay for that never ending debt of tuition. The summers we spend worrying about making enough money to pay the rent, but not too much because we need that student loan. I learnt two important lessons from working this summer. The first lesson came after working at a garden centre wholesaler for a month. I learnt that I hate plants. The second was a more subtle lesson and I learnt it from a group of four and five year old kids. I had the pleasure of working for the cities daycamps.

Rest assured, being a male does not lesson in any way the effects of being a victim. Yet the organizers of the march in question, in their refusal to acknowledge that there are men out there who want to march, or to allow them that opportunity not as 'guardians', but as citizens opposed to violence against women (or anyone, for that matter), are sending a message that victims who do not fit a certain profile are second class victims. And that is wrong. It is time that we, as a society, say NO to violence and abuse. That we stop factionalizing ourselves and work together to achieve a common goal that will benefit all of us. Until we do, we are destined to failure. Name withheld by request
contribute together. The point of the march is for women to take back the night and feel safe, confident, and comfortable walking without a male present which would explain why men are not allowed to march with the women. If men want to show their support they are allowed to participate in the rally. Just not the march.
Thank you for your letter. You raise a very good point about the upcoming "Take Back the Night " rally. It is important to see both sides of the issue. On one hand the women are trying to create a sense of security and solidarity. While, unfortunatly at the same time they are segregating· men and women and losing the effort that both men and women can

& The Trivial: Recent Changes to Student Assistance Good,
•1~,ir--m-ie_H_e1-1e-w"""'.e1~1 -----,,
As has become the habit of our current provincial government, Glen Clark and Paul Ramsey recently made another public (media) announcement regarding education. The topic of this most recent proclamation: changes to student loan policy. Some of what they had to say was important and some of it was a waste of breath. But, fear not debt ridden scholars everything announced was good (even if slightly trivial). What you do need to worry about is what was left "unannounced." Sort of like when someone tells you they have good news and bad news. Only in this case-you're only told the good news and left to discover the bad news yourself. So what's the good news? Students who are single parents now have an additional year to complete their studies and still be eligible for loan remission Clearly this. brings loan policy more in line with the realities of being a single parent ana a student. Rather then being expected to complete their studies at the same pace as other students or suffer the consequences (heavier debt load), single parents now have a more sensitive loan procedure. On this point, the ministry has taken a substantial step towards improving student assistance in B.C. universities and colleges. Another positive change to the loan procedure is that students may now access information about their student loans 24hrs/day via the in tern et. These files will be updated daily and only be accessible to the students to whom they belong. So what's the trivial news? (Feel free to skip this paragraph). The government is planning to study ways to use the internet to accept financial applications; there are plans for sometime in the year 2000 to toughen criteria for student loans for private universities; and

last but not least, there is a test project to determine whether electronic enrollment might save students some time in the loan application process. I will admit that these changes might actually make the loan process slightly more efficient. However, I have no idea why Premier Clark and Mr. Ramsey included most of it in their public announcement. Perhaps they really believe it is ground breaking news. After all, my two year old nephew is convinced the world will wan to know he's learned to use the potty. it could be genuine naivete. Or maybe (more likely) the ministry of education wants to convince us its doing a better job than it really is. If they can't deliver enough quality they'll try fooling us with quantity. Next they will be informing us - via public announcement that they are replacing all their staplers with paper clips (clearly saving money and the environment with the reusable stationary). NowfortheBadnews. As you probably already know if you have student loans, the amount of money you can earn ( above a certain basic level) will reduce the amount of loan you are eligible for. Consequently, if you were to earn $200 more than this set level, you would be entitled to correspondingly fewer dollars in loan. The unan-

If you have been to Sevenoaks Shopping Centre lately you may have noticed an eye-catching poster in the display window of the Body Shop. The title reads: "There are three million women in the world who don't look like supermodels and only eight who do." If you did notice the poster, chances are it wasn't the title that first caught your eye. The focus of the poster is a plastic Barbie-type doll, completely naked, beautifully made up, and gracefully reclined on a sofa. True to the image of Barbie, she has a glossy mane of long blonde hair, a glamorous face, flawless make up, and an expression of pleasant surprise. But one look at this doll will tell you she is not the Barbie we have known. She has put on a few pounds. OK, more than a few. Upon closer observation, you will notice that Barbie has not only gained weight, she's also lost some height. This Barbie looks to be the human equivalent of 165 pounds and about five feet, four inches - a sharp contrast to the classic tall, thin Barbie we are used to. After fully

No this isn't a typo and no I'm not on crack. As I psyched myself up for a new semester of classes I couldn't shake the dreadful realization that the beginning of September bears more than a passing resemblance to the beginning of January. We don't generally ascribe special status to September 1st, but when you think about it, it really is the beginning of a 'new year'. Aside from the obvious similarities that both months start a new year (one in time, the other in academia), there are also parallels in both mood and attitude. As I walk the halls in my
new school gear there seems to me a mood of new beginnings, of 'clean slatedness', of another chance to prove I can get my assignments in to the writing centre before they are due. The same lightness of being seems to be reflected evrywhere I look. Students not yet burdened by due dates or reading assignments. Students still possessing the patience afforded them by a summer away, brave the long line-ups with a cheerful (in most cases) demeanor. Students having emerged from the Financial Aid Office, suppressing the exulation of an artifically bloated bank account, scurry
out of the building before somebody changes their mind ... Our attitude on September 1st also resembles that of its wintery counterpart. We make plans and promises to ourselves. We dutifully fill out all our assignment due dates and commitments into our shiny new (and free) agendas. We resolve to take great notes with highlighters and everything - and go to all our classes. We resolve. Ah yes, resolutions. What new year's ritual would be complete without them? We resolve to exersise our bodies like we doour minds. We resolve to eat better, to optimize ourattentiveness in
In our criticism of Barbie we should remember that, after all, she is only plastic. If little girls grow up thinking they must be tall, thin, and voluptuous to be beautiful, it isn't because Barbie whispered it in their ears. What we need is not only a fatter Barbie, we need a more accepting society. Let women be fat, let them be thin, and let them be somewhere in between, but let them be happy with themselves. If Ruby could embody a happy woman, one with goals, common sense, and interests other than flaunting countless glamorous outfits and a landslide of pink accessories, she might be a more suitable representative of Today's ideal woman.
class. We resolve not to drink so much damn coffee (HA!). And why not? I have long thought that, at least in the life of a student, September is an easier month to start new routines. I say if you are going to start a new workout regime or diet it has more of a chance at longevity if started in September. Yeah September, when you don't have the cold temperatures or resolution crushing holiday leftovers to contend with; a renegade chocolate Santa could break even the most dedicated. Academically this is also true. Just remember kids: 'habits started at the beginning have a better chance of winning'. So what point am I trying to make with all of this? I don't know. I just wanted to wish you a happy new year. Happy New Year. fishbone

During the summer, audiences across North America were wowed by the awesome splendor and moving climaxes of Carl Sagan's blockbuster, Contact. I was fortunate enough to be a part of this mass and walked away with a new wave of optimism for the future, even though I knew that the spectacle that I had witnessed was entirely fictional - the musings of one of the most pre-eminent astronomers of all time. However, as with all good things that eventually come to an end, this movie left me wanting more. . . for I knew also that it had · been based on Sagan's book, and I wondered what could have been possibly cut to give space to the film.

Ellie herself is widely altered, as is her past: her mother is still alive, but remarried, Ellie's relations to both her Dad and men in general reach tensions that the movie never deals with. The voice of the legitimate author also carries a different weight, as Sagan delves into details that may be deemed almost excessive at points, carried by humour that occasionally goes over like a gold balloon. Also, I found that the inspiration of hope that I received from the movie isn't present at the end of the novel, although what's been substituted is a lot more realistic. Overall, I'd say that the Contact story is 'the best I've read - and seen - in a long, long time. Those who haven't been subjected to it are in for a rewarding experience if they pick up either of its forms.
TH£·..WIFCHl=S ~Rf=W 11 mes Pede Nowadays, amidst the modem day bustle, I occasionally take time to sift through the glut of flyers and formula fiction that greet my eyes to find an absorbing fantasy novel . . . something fresh, something untried - occasionally something familiar. For what is a fantasy novel but something akin to one's own fantasies, a book of strange and foreign events, yet one able to form a connection? As of late, I have been able to find such a novel: It is The Witches Brew by Terry Brooks. The Witches Brew is the most recent of five books describing the fate of the Kingdom of Landover and its ruler, Ben Holiday. Ben was a common businessman in our world until he was taken to desperation by a bout of bad luck and answered an ad for the position of Landover's King. Once through the doorway of "faire mists" into this mysterious world, he found his life to be irrevocably changed, and has since then accepted his role and responsibility as the protector of its people. In this latest installment of the saga, we witness the development of Holiday's daughter, Mistaya. Although conceived in Landover, Mistaya draws strength from her lineage in three worlds - one from each of her parents and one borrowed from faire soil - and strug-
gles to cope with this fact along with the usual trials of growing up. When her father receives a chal1en ge from an imposing black night, who claims to wield powers from beyond the mists, Mistaya is sent off to safety with the court scribe (a soft-coated Wheaten terrier named Abernathy) and wizard (known as Questor Thews). All three vanish without a trace. Terry Brooks' distinctive style and creative flair bring life to a people and realm touch only before by a pleasant night's dreaming. He conjures up vividly detailed images in the mind of his readers and crafts a story both engaging and fluid. In fact, if I were to raise a complaint about this book at all, I'd say it can be too detailed: A lot of the first chapters assume that one's never read a Landover book before and are devoted to recounting what has happened in previous books. However, by that same token, anyone starting late in the series can enjoy The Witches Brew just as much as those who have read the others. Other works by the same author include his starring series about the Land of Shannara and its following series about the Scions of Shannara. The other books of the Landover series are named Magic Kingdom For Sale - Sold!, The Black Unicom, Wizard At Large, and The Tangle Box.

SUS FROM Student Union Society Marion C. Tansey, Interim Vice-President Internal Throughout the past two weeks, the buzz of handing out student handbooks and stamping brochures for the Scavenger Hunt has now been replaced with other issues. Students frequently ask: "what do you (the Student Union Society) do?"This is best answered with "name something". In just one week (with half the manpower it generally takes to operate effectively), energies have been spent resolving an issue from three governments ago, completing our strategic plan for this term, preparing for bielections and the semi-annual general meeting, filling committees so that the student advocacy involvement is inclusive, and maintaining communication between administration, faculty, staff and students. Here's how things are going so far, and this is written not only to inform you of who we are, but also where we are going this year. We encourage you to consider bringing some of your expertise/talent to the current council. Who we are: First and Foremost is our omnipotent advisor, Tami Mclellan, who brings continuity to the work within the SUS. Last April, the Student Body voted Ken Dinnery (Criminal Justice student, 4th year) as President of the Student Union Society, following a year's term as Vice President External; Cori Kleisinger as~Vice President Internal (who is not a student this term - therefore the position is open for the October 7 & 8th election); and Stephaine Martin (General Studies) who is our Director of Finance for the second year. Two student rep-
resentatives have agreed to stand in as interim W's:namely, Marion C. Tansey ~Adult Education Dept, 4th year & interim VP Internal) who was imported from the Okanagan two years ago; and Gary Smith (Science & Technology & VP External) who brings us student concerns from Chilliwack. In addition, the following depart men ts are being rep resented by: Shawn Stetsko and Johanna Charlton (Arts Program), Jane Lee, Kim E v a n s

ideology and has adopted what we will refer to as an Operating philosophy for this year. It's called a Dignity Test and reads as follows: We will treat our UCFVcommunity (student, faculty, staff, administration) with dignity, rendering student advocacy service marked by courtesy and competence". The intent of this TEST is personal and individual: after every communication, we hope the answer to "Did I pass the TEST?' is "yes!". Our successes may vary from day to 0

this is what but wearestriving towards.
Where we are going:
Financial Issues: Our Director of Finance (Stephaine Martin) informs us that Five Highschool scholarships were awarded for the 1997 /98 term to Meagan Thumath, Sarah Dennis, Melissa Evans, Anne Williams, and Rupi Sidhu. One Returning Student scholarship was awarded to Lisa Chew. You helped pay for these ($3,000). Also, four Emergency Grants have been awarded so far. Thank you; a portion of your student fees helps to fund these & other programs. Thanks to Stephaine, your Student Handbooks have a fundraising card. Don't lose it! Anyone can use this card: your landlord/lady, mother/father, friend, etc. Call Cheam Travel to book your flights and a percentage of the moneys will come to the Student Union. Your card also entitles you to a 20% discount off parking at the Vancouver International Airport's Park 'n Fly; 20% off parts and labour at His Shop in Abbotsford, and 10% off bagels and sandwiches at Bagel Street (Salish Plaza in Chilliwack). Watch our bulletin board for other company discounts. If you know of anyone who has a business and would like to add their company names to this list, have them contact Stephaine Martin at S.U.S. (864-4613).

Reflecting on the commitment the UCFV Board of Governors has extended to the student body by way of the Student Ideology (found on the back of the student handbook), the current student union council voted to reciprocate with the following
Atti
days (April 4 and September 13) to identify priorities for this term. Five INTERNALpriorities were identified for this term and will be presented for discussion at the September 23 Student Union Meeting (at the Chilliwackcampus, 1 pm in the SUS meeting room). All interested students are invited to attend. The proposed priorities are: 1. We will promote the Student Union Society and its mandate within our community (addressing issues that are governmental, societal, financial and educational). 2. We will balance the budget. 3. We will each fulfill our obligations to the students we represent. 4. We will set the groundwork for a radio station. 5. We will be an awesome fundraising machine. We would welcome your involvement and your ideas!

To All Our Sisters, Well our technical difficulties have almost all been resolved and our door is open. Remember that we are operating on volunteer hours so please if you drop by and no one is around try back a little later. Our hours will be posted on our door. Enough technical stuff - let's get down to what is going on. We are encouraging women to take out membership with our centre. The cost is minimal on a sliding scale ($5 - $10) or if you can donate more we will accept it. This is a nonprofit organization so all membership fees go back into the centre. And if you are asking yourself "why would I take out a membership?" The answer lies within our vision statement. Our vision is: To redress the imbalance of social inequity by addressing issues of women's empowerment and education. The purpose of the Centre is to provide
support, encouragement, and access for women. And if that is not enough, stop by for a guided tour. Next on our list is the Take Back the Night event. It is happening on September 25 at Abbotsford Centennial Park, by the outdoor pool. Be there by 6 PM. All women are encouraged to attend. You are allowed to bring your children. Sorry guys this walk is to empower women, so although we welcome your support, you will not be welcome to walk with us. There will be terrific live entertainment and wonderful guest speakers. We look forward to seeing all our sisters there! Another upcoming event that we are very excited about is the Clothesline Project. Look for this to take place on our campus October 16th. For further details please contact the Centre. A note about our opening celebration: it will take place on
December 5th. We welcome al women to attend. For furthe information or if you would like to be involved in assisting in th organizing of this event pleas contact the Centre, drop by, o you can phone 853 - 7441 an leave a message for us. Just to remind you, all wome are welcome to our Centre. Thi Centre was created out of a rec ognized need to our commu nity. It is a place where wome can be without fear of being wh they are. Finally, I just want to take moment to reflect upon the re cent deaths of the two wome who died in Summerland an most recently, the woman an her four children who were slai in the Comox/Courtney area.
