"And now, a taste of things to come!" -Liu Kane opening battle of Mortal Kombat
I spent this past weekend watching the men's basketball team compete against the Capilano Blues and the Langara College Falcolns. This year the league seems quite competitive, as both games were basically tooth and nail down to the bittersweet end. Unfortunately for our boys, the ball didn't drop during a few crucial shots, and a plague of bad passes robbed them of both victories both nights. But man does this team have some skillz! Take for instance the second year guard Tyson Boult. This guy comes out every game ferocious, ready to chomp, ready_ to rock and ready to score. Boult has definitely taken his game to a new level and I don't think I will get to see much of him on the bench; this kid came to play. Just like Chad Yarwood, who can block the living hell out of many an opponent's shot. This weekend featured many a Spalding tattoo at the hands of Yarwood. As well) Yarwood has started opening up in the shooting department, taking the shots he wouldn't have a year before good things to come from this guy. Back on the court is the rapid-action point guard Greg Falk. Falk has made an astonishing recovery from his torn ACL injury that left him watching the games from the bench last year. Falk means to burn every man that steps in his way, and his return was summed up this weekend when he stole the ball and hauled ass away from any pursuants. He jumped up and finished strong, giving his team a fighting chance in the twilight moments of the Langara match-up.
A newcomer to the team, but already proving his worth is the muscle-bound Mike Pascoe. Pascoe has strong drives to the hoop, and his pre-game dunk show can be impressive. Of course, hard playing and the name Mark Neill are basically synonymous, and this weekend I saw Mark find his game returning to him, after coming off an ankle injury that left him waiting around the court. Neill is a menace on defense, and a few more matches will see the man
from, and that is leadership by example. Expect to see this guy maintain his 17 + average all season. And of course, no basketball column by Paul Becker would be complete without taking some time to discuss my main man, Steve "Moxy" Cavenaugh, who is literally on fire. Friday night saw a massive scoring drive by Cavenaugh as Capilano simply couldn't touch him. He finished in the high thirties-somewhere around 3 7 points and had an all round. As Moxy ran down the court and drained yet another three I heard Lionel Richie come into my head, and he was wailing "ALLnight long, all night long." Cavanagh is finishing up this year, and I hope that anyone with a taste for ball will sit their asses down at a Cascade's home game to check out a solid performance by a solid playeranything less would be a waste. With all the talent on this team, and I've only mentionned half the team, its suprising that the guys lost this weekend, but they did. Both games were heart breakers, but I think, and hope, that the losses have also pissed the team off enough that perhaps they'll pull up their socks in the last half of the next game. This is where they lost both games this weekend; as though they got over-confidant and let their guard down. The result was a few points defecit, which performing at new levels of in a league as competitve as the CCAA basically means an L inscary. With all the show time and stead of a W.

Year!
With finals fast approaching nothing good seems to be happening. Paper after paper, exam after exam. Every wakening moment is spent studying. Every sleeping moment is spent subconsciously worrying. Believe it or not there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It's dim, but it's there; it's the Christmas break and it's just around the corner. Put aside the capitalist, commercial aspect, the lines of screeching kids waiting to see a gluttonous Santa, the traffic jams, the malls, the Christmas decorations 2 months before the actual holiday, and the hype to get the perfect gift and believe it or not you have a time of relaxation. A time to kick back and enjoy family and friends. A time to curl up on the couch and read your favorite book or watch the snow fall. The holidays has many different meanings for many people. But nothing is better than the holidays for forgetting your scholastic worries. So during these last few weeks of the semester try to avoid the burnout and think of what lies ahead. A time of rest and a blank page. A new year that needs to be written and an old one that needs to be remembered. Since this is the last issue of this semester I just wanted to wish everyone good luck on finals, best wishes over the holidays, and a Happy New Year. See you in 1998. Donna Lovett Editor in Chief

The Abbotsford-Sumas Aquifer is an underground water source which supplies water to industries, businesses, farms, the Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery, and 105,000 Canadian and USresidents. Water easily infiltrates the sandy soil above the aquifer, and replenishes the water supply. If chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, auto fluids) are present on the land surface, they also leach into the ground water. In some aquifers, a layer of clay in the soil can stop chemicals before they enter the ground water. Unfortunately, the Abbotsford-Sumas aquifer doesn't have that protective layer, leaving the ground water open to contaminants.

The lecture and workshop titles "Discourse of Death and Desire in the Western Culture". "Gender and Cultural Theory" and "Shakespeare, Intellectual History and Wishful Theory" convinced me to brave the traffic to U.B.C. The presenter was Jonathan Dollimore, Professor of English Studies at the University of Sussex in England, and in Vancouver as the Cecil & Ida Green visiting Professor. Going by the ideas and energy evident at the three lectures. Professor Dollimore wasn't about to waste the price of his plane ticket. He told his rapt audiences that intellectual thought has gone the way of the supermarket. He also connected the expansionist nature of western culture with a fascination of death. Dollimore gave evidence that our society both loathes and is preoccupied with death in intellectual and artistic terms- to the point that it has become our modern-day obscenity. He said that tragedy is such a popular art form because it does a good job of sanctifying chronic failure, allowing redemption to be sought through suffering and death. Through slides of skeleton statues and skull watches, he showed that society did not always chose to cover up the inevitable. What romanticism decided to ignore, Freud recog-
nized as humanity's death drive. Dollimore told us that accepting death is crucial and inseparable to the activity of knowing. Warning that as a society becomes more civilized, it also becomes more vulnerable, Dollimore encouraged his fellow academics to take a jaunt from the ivory tower towards a greater involvement in political policy making. He made it clear that he has lost patience with a facile humanism that separates itself from both history and responsibility-the idea that art transcends politics is not Professor Dollimore's cup of tea. When asked to elaborate on "wishful theory", Dollimore told us it was the feel-good theory that changed with convenience: an ostentatious performance that remains in fashion for a while before disappearing. He said that recognizing the inabilities within the dominant of any culture is not new, and pretending to subvert can be simply a convenient filtering of reality. In Dollimore's opinion, radical thought loses potency when it remains comfortably within that which it wants to escape. Dollimore argued for theory that does not ignore intellectual history, and a cultural politics that strives to understand differences. He said to believe in what we write, even while recognizing we may be wrong.
MODELPARLIAMENT
Iltvan Warawa
Are you a young Liberal, Reformer, New Democrat, or Progressive Conservative? Do you support one of these four parties? Interested in learning more about the parliamentary system and the Canadian Government? Wishing to improve your debating or public speaking skills? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then the Universities' Model Parliament (UMP) may be what you're looking for! The 24th sitting of the UMP Society will be conducted from January 8 to 11, 1998. Young Liberals, Reformers, New Democrats, and Progressive Conservative from UBC, SFU, UVic, UCFV, and other universities use the legislative assembly in Victoria for the weekend. During the day, students discuss policy, debate resolutions, improve their speaking skills, and learn about how the Canadian Government is run. In the evening, students from all parties get together and socialize.
Registration before January 1 is only $165. This includes three nights accommodation at the prestigious Clarion Grand Pacific Hotel, which is located right beside the legislative buildings. Also included in the price is a formal banquet, held on the Saturday evening. The 1998 UMP sitting will see the return of a minority Liberal government, with Reform and New Democrats tied as official opposition. The number of seats each party gets is determined through polling at UBC, SFU, and UVic in October. The three large universities (UBC, SFU, and UVic) each send a subst,an tial number of students ever year. This coming year it would to see more UCFV students attend UMP.

TheFiveStepsof Student Politics
elamie
Hellewell
It's always surprised me how militant student politics can become. Maybe that's what drives people to it - no longer satisfied with their fix of violence from Hockey Night in Canada. Anyway, being involved myself for a number of years at UCFV has lead to a number of conclusions, learned of course the hard way: by making mistakes. What is it that makes student politics so brutal, so often? How does it become such a cesspool of polarization and trench warfare? And don't think I'm asking particularly about UCFV, we're probably less-bad than most. In most student societies empechments, backroom dealings, embezzlement, court battles, and violent party politics are the norm rather than the exception. What drives this beast? How can differences become so pronounced as to frag-
ment the student leaders into "down-and-dirty" warring factions? In my opinion it doesn't usually happen overnight, but is the result of a process. This process can be broken down into a series of steps: STEP#1: Idealism. For the most part students are willing to cooperate in the beginning. You haven't yet formed negative stereotypes about the people you're working with, they haven't screwed you, and you haven't screwed them. Recognizing no one can do it all on their own, you agree to work with the others. STEP#2: Conflict. Inevitably in human relationships, and especially in politics, conflicts will occur: conflicting needs, goals, or ideas. Now there a number of ways you can react to conflict. First, you can retreat from action entirely. Frustrated, you can pretend the problem doesn't exist. The second and least common reaction

is to swallow your pride and respond creatively. But the response which is most characteristic of student politics is all out warfare. STEP#3: Factionalism. Having opted for the third response, individuals begin to ally themselves with one group or the other. Real (honest) communication and cooperation between the sides begins to break down. STEP#4: Party Before Principle. By now, the issue or issues which started the conflict are secondary. Individuals see themselves as members of their respective group before seeing themselves as individuals. Each group believes the other is always, and at every opportunity, out to get them. They oppose anything the other group tries to do, and support unreservedly, uncritically what individuals within their own group do. STEP#S: Absolute Polarization. This is the height of party politics, only the evil of the other group is noticed and pointed out, and only the good in your own. Any mistakes by your party can be explained away as a mistake-with-goodintention. All the other's errors are considered calculated and intentional. Any apparent good they do is "just a ploy" or "hypocritical." At this point reconciliation is next to impossible since empathy is dead. Only a facade of being open and reasonable remains so that we convince others (and perhaps ourselves?) that we are making an effort to cooperate; it's the other group that is the problem. But this empty empathy is only a mask for full blown stereotype. It is this inner stereotype that will continue to fan the flame of conflict, thought we may pretend to be polite. Perhaps this is what is meant by "civil war"? In fact, tripping up the other group often takes up more of your time than taking steps toward positive steps toward change yourself. Everyone becomes a critic, but very few still do anything positive and proactive. Content to give our particular description of the problem, we stop trying to solve it. We simply hold up our banners, take up our guns, and wage war.

The weekend of November 8th and 9th marked the second annual Rookie weekend in Prince George for UCFVs women's and men's basketball teams. In the grand tradition of last years initiation rights,the women's rookies were given 'special outfits' and performed a dance at half time of the guys game. This years contestants: Erin Lee, Brianna Askew, Dawn Sedgman, Holly McLeod, Meredith Underell, and Leanne Kiley. Leanne lead the pack onto center court at the College of New Caledonia in Prince George in a sweater dress and high tops. Courageous fashion sense or victim of the early 80's? You make the call. Holly McLeod born and raised in good old Prince George was a hometown favorite as she strutted her stuff in a fabulous pink sequence number and Erin Lee kept up the tradition of the acid washed jean dress and brought back the robot that Lindsay Fennell perfected the year before. Brianna Askew was in her glory, this was her moment to shine (she actually had to be told to change out of her lovely librarian sweater and skirt combo). Meredith Underell had a few moves no one had seen before as she worked her purple and white jump suit (don't worry Meredith it's not that see through). And lastly there was Dawn Sedgman who glided across the court in a beautiful early 80's pink prom gown. Let me tell you I have not seen that much rouge and blue eye shadow since Tiffany' big mall concert. But needless to say the girls did a fabulous job and brought the crowd to their feet wJth a tear jerking rendition of the Saturday Night Live club guys. Way to go ladies! Not to leave anyone out, on the injured list was rookies Carly Brogan and Becky Popeniuk. Don't worry, they'll get theirs. G i r 1 Power!
I■an MacCaskell The Cascade Ladies have every right to walk proud down the lonely and desolate halls of UCFV this past week. Finishing their season with a tie verses Douglas College and a win over the athletically challenged squad from the Okanagan, the ladies found themselves in the B.C.Colleges Athletic Association soccer championships. On Friday, the women met the tough and undefeated University College of the Cariboo in t
Oops! David seems to have forgotten his sock frightening too many people. Basically it is a round robin tournament played on an uneven playing field (watch out for prickle bushes) where an orange is thrown onto the field by the referee and has to be brought back, in their teeth, to the ref. No hands allowed, anything goes. Soundsinnocentenough, right? Picture this if ydu will. The official uniform is one solitary sock. Use your imagination, I'm sure not much is needed. I should add that this is a very private event, at night, in the dark, with only the other UCFV men's players to witness it. What they failed to realize was that there is about a 10 ft gap from the bushes to the hotel in which a window on the 3 floor over looks. So after the game as the boys sprinted back to the hotel at 2 in the morning, in Prince George's freezing weather, they looked up to find the majority of the women's team cheering them on. Although the girls did not see the

Both teams bat t 1e d hard, but it only took one goal to clinch a berth into the finals and that came from the right foot of Amy "spark-plug" Folka, leaving keeper Brenda Brennen to earn the well deserved shutout. It was the third year in a row the Cascades met Cariboo in the provincial semi-finals, but it was the first time they had won. In the gold medal game on Saturday, they played the topranked team in the country, Capilano Blues at BCIT. The girls fell 2-0 to the tough and talented Capilano Blues, earning the silver medal for their efforts. UCFV fullback Colleen Taylor won the tour-

Is Music Dead? I) lark
Schuster
Recently as I was scanning the bulletin board for used books on Building B's second floor (near the Biology lab), I stumbled upon an eye catching poster entitled "Popular Music is Dead" . Upon reading this very anti-pop music piece of propaganda , it became apparent to me that whoever had the urge to write this piece was raising an important issue facing our "so-called" generation (Which we don't have a name for yet ... ) in the way of music. While the article suggested that these types of purely synthetic pieces of music are controlled in large part by the big music companies who try to fill a void when they see one, it is this accommodation for groups in society which it feels can be "exploited" . They are namely the all boy and girl bands which have been perfectly crafted by the record companies for young teenagers , who are seen as a

need in the market. Just watch Much Music, the nation's only answer for what's assumed hot and what's not, to see adult dance groups like those sly, Backstreet Boys, or that supposed exploitive "girl-power" band the Spice· Girls. They are everywhere, and they are for that reason the one's the music industry recruits to fill such niche markets, which it sees as profitable and in the end effect that will make them money. Among the aspects which the article spews out are things like " Our ears are slowly becoming corrupted by sonic waves of pure filth and evil sent out by the likes of supposedly "Good" radio stations ... " and makes reference to such no-talent groups like "Aqua" and "Ace of Base" as "exploiting today's youth culture for every penny that they have." You might not agree with these statements, but wasn't it groups like the New Kids on the Block or Kriss Kross for example which had attained mass following because of a couple cleverly crafted pieces and then simply fizzled away in
the world of popular music? Where are they today?
The article goes on condemning the true machine of the record industry, the media, as the "evil demigod" who it accuses of bringing us, the consuming public, these poor excuses of bands. While many radio stations are only after the elusive rating, which in turn can bring them more advertisement revenue, it's important to note that not all radio stations out there run on this method. When was the last time you switched on your radio set and tuned into non-profit radio stations like 102.7 FM Co-op radio in Vancouver, SFU's campus radio station, CJSFon 93.9 FM, or finally 89.3 FM Western Washington's campus radio station? I did not mention UCFV's excuse for a "supposed" radio station, which has been mulled around for some time now, but which is as I hear, still being considered??? Is this true??? These non mainstream stations are a refreshing change from the everyday mumbling of CFOX and 295.3
FM, and in some instances are much more in tune with what students want to hear! Of course the ulterior motive of the article is to "Buy quality! Buy independent!", which is something which we all come across when we hear up and coming young artists who have not been signed by the record companies. Our problem then is getting a hold of these CD's, which can be a difficult task at times! So, the distribution networks of the record companies are a definite advantage, when compared to the sometime lack lustre distribution efforts of small independent record labels. But overall, if the quality of the music is to the peoples liking, they will eventually get signed. But until then, the under-exposure which these bands face, prove that they are the real artists, in comparison to the made-up pop groups which are out there! So, beware of Mariah Carey and "hope they stop playing "Barbie Girl!!!" POP HAS TO STOP

Turtle's Educational Review: The Phantom Tollbooth IJames Pede This review concerns a book that is a personal favorite of mine: The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster. Although it is by no means a new novel, I would argue that it is timeless- a source of entertainment"for both young and old. The story's focus fixes on a young boy named Milo who, as hard as he tries, can not see the sense in learning( or doesn't try, one is apt to argue). He's
'Entertainment willing to resign himself to yet another dreary afternoon, to his surprise he is introduced to the Phantom Tollbooth, which has somehow been parcel posted directly to his room. Finding few excuses not to, Milo sets the Tollbooth up and follows its instructions ... and is instantly transported to the mysterious land of Wisdom, where words and numbers are not just concepts and life itself is abstract. Before he knows it, Milo becomes swept up in a mission to return Rhyme and Reason to this bizarre new world. As an aid is this seemingly impossible task, he is accompanied by the faithful watchdog Tock, who's half dog, half clock, and the impossible Humbug, who takes any side that is least disagree-

Dakona is a four piece band consisting of two guitar players, Scott (lead) and Ryan (rhythm), a bassist (Kris) and a drummer (John). The lead voqtls are performed by Ryan with backup from Scott and Kris. Dakona is a local band based out of Abbotsford/ Langley who have been playing together since February. The band has toured British Columbia and played as far south, as Idaho.'

The inhabitants of these areas are incredibly eccentric, but each has something to teach Milo-and the reader. This book is offered as a study material for elementary students, but there are many things contained in its writings that children would often miss. Mr.Juster tells a truly absorbing story, in which characters, places and events are animated. However, there's a lot of thought and wry humour woven into the fabric of the settings and people: For example, consider the Sea of Knowledge in which many swim, but often come out of dry. Norton Juster is best known for The Phantom Tollbooth, but fans of his work may also want to read The Dot and The Line, which can be found at http:// www. mind spring. com/ ~laughingcrow/ Autumn/ DotAndLine.html.

Turtle's Review Crichton's
Mystic
Travels When I saw a copy of Michael Crichton's new paperback, Travels, at the Chilliwack library, I jumped at the chance to sign it out. I mean , here is the author who gave us The Andromeda Strain, The Great Train Robbery, Jurassic Park and Sphere, and now there's Travels, which is essentially his
biography. That's right-This is his Life's Story. Who wouldn't want to know how a successful writer ticks? Mr. Crichton breaks his narrative into two main sections. The first deals with his life as a med student. The second part, which justifies the title better than the first, tells of his excursions into places both local and abroad. In the beginning, we are introduced to Young Michael, who is ascending the ranks of the medical ladder, although hesitantly. Crichton is quick to introduce us to his perceived failings in the doctoral industry ... His feelings of helplessness when helping people even in the face of the medicinal advances he's lived through. He speaks of cruelties and mistakes he's observed and performed respectively, and muses that ultimately it may be that the focus of medicine is in the wrong place: Humans believe too much in physical ailments, he thinks, when it's entirely possible that the true cause of many pains is in the mind. He makes a good case for it, too, though it's questionable as to what this train of thought is developing into. It appears he's preparing us for his second section. Into the next part, Crichton's feelings of uselessness in the medical field have urged him to turn more towards his favourite pastime, writing. He gains a surprising amount of success from The Andromeda Strain, but as the years wear on he still feels empty and decides to go exploring. He fulfills the classic dream of exploring, indeed, as he regales us with tales about his hike up Kilimanjaro, his run-in with an elephant in Africa, and his life as a "ferengi" (outsider) in the Asian mountain chains. However, Michael Crichton is also big on spiritual exploration. Aura sightings, readings, past life regressions, entities (sort of a modern day exorcism), astral projection ... He does 'em all. These episodes make for fascinating reading, but not easy reading. I'm not opposed to psychic phenomena ... just incredibly cautious. The subject is a religious minefield, and who knows who (or what) can take one for a ride once one boards the ghostly roller coaster? Yet, Michael's accounts are mind opening. I recommend this novel as well-written "non-fiction".
