The end of a cycle •s approaching as l face graduatio1 this year and it has caused me to reflect qui e intensely on my time here, my future, who I have become and who I want to be.
But little bitterness add up to an overall env'ronment of hatred and it is th·s bitter hateful pettinesses in one individual that is the root of the mass hatred that results in acts of atrocity such as genocide, sys ematized rapes, torture, and murder. I guess I just hope hat the little part that I would like t~ play in reducing acts of hatred in this world will manifest itself in me during my final year here as a concerted effort at loving those who I rub up again t every single day. Perhaps you'll give i a shot also.

South East Asia has been a geographical area that has suddenly become rather influential in my life. One of my broth rs has lived there for three years and has no plans to return anytime soon. My ther brother is on his way back there to work, party, and "experience life'' for an ind terminate period of ,~=-----·me. My best friend returned not too long ago from several months of traveling there. Even my parents have applied for teaching jobs there. This all appears so incredibly innocuou enough, but what lays beneath the surface? My brothers and along with most tourists, have all visited the notoriou Kao an Road area of Bangkok to entertain themselves with the bizarre ping pong tricks and lady-men of the sex shows. Do they know that literally thousands of Northern Burmese tribeswomen are raped (often repeatedly and systematically) and beaten into submission then sold into this sex trade as a tactic of warfare and genocide in "Myanmar"? Do they know that the i'Giraffe Women" (Padaung tribal women who use copper coil lto h• '-'~==•=:«,,•:••:>.?, • :; < w,:.;..~w~~,~•~;½(Y.:,~:s:t~«..~:i Ij" i! -~ ~Z: M _,, i give the effect of elongated necks) who they gawk at like zoo animals are often kept as prison rs in the tourist '1 villages" of northern Thailand? No, they probably don't know and wouldn't know how to react if they did. This is the sort of information ha you just might learn here at UCFV this year and you may even be so impressed by the injustice of it all that you want to do something about it. Groups like An1nesty International are a great place to start. But I would suggest hat an even better place to start is within your own heart and community. Having a bleeding hear for a people who thousands of mil s away i pretty simple really. But loving that driver who flipped you the flnge on your way into the parking lot this morning, or that annoying student who has to ask one last question before the class can be dismissed, or the individual who cut in line at the bookstore because they think they have some kind of special rights beyond the rest of us These people are much harder to love.

UCFV has been a place that has introduced me to many many international issues and ideas and almost as many different ways of approaching them. Mostly what I have learned has deeply depressed me about the human condition and left me grappling in my inability to change the world.

Regina Dalton IJ Saturday August first started out to be a pretty good day for me. [t was a beautiful sunny afternoon and J was heading to an uncle and aunt's 50th wedding anniversary. Then I made the mistake of listening to the news on the radio. There was a blurb about Surrey's City Manager having his contract terminated a year early with a golden handshake to the tune of $226,000. [ suppose [ should have some sympathy for the guy. After all, how easy will it be for him to find another job? But not to worry. Apparently he already has one: for the city of Hamilton in Ontario. This last year has been fife With reports about senior management types hospital administrators, university brass, etc.- negotiating handsome good-bye deals, and then slipping into another very well~paidposition. One can almost admire the speed at Which these people move. Yet at the same time 1 wonder about the accountability of those who first sign the sweetheart deals, and then find the job has to be ended before the contract expires. Or then there's the case of John Stubbs, SFU's president who made the decision on his own to leave!. Yet he still gets over $300,000 in compensation. And the publi watchdog who checked out this rich package said generous as it was all guidelines were followed. I doubt this a.naly is surprised anyone. [ did manage to put all these musings aside while I ate and drank with like-minded relatives. But on relaxing with The Vancouver Sl!n later that evening, my eyes fell on two articles that stretched. my patience once more. The first was llNDP veteran gets ICBC }oh" In the article we are informed that Bob Williams will chair the ICBC board. He apparently gets $4000 a year, and then $500 for each board meeting (10 per year) and $S00 for each committee meeting (quantity unknown) attended. Now you

~- IPaul F. Becker ·~-. " men have no pleasure in keeping company where there is no power to overawe them all.'' -Thomas Hobbes August __ 1998, Tuesday night: I'm spread-eagled across the hood of a cop car. He had taken away my shoes, Jooking for pot, and thus I was trying not to move, as I didn't want to get my socks dirty. The city was in credibly hot and dusty despite its location on the Pacific Ocean, and the streets operated as dirt magnets, blackened more by human use, then the tar and gravel cocktail they consisted of. I was in town visiting my cousin Gene, a tattooed, pierced and mouthy character who was somewhat responsible for my present situation. Gene had no real respect for authority, as he hadn't committed any offense other than being cheeky with them. As the cop's partner searched his pockets, .Gene repeatedly stated "You ain't gonna find anything on me man, this is just harassment. 11 We had been driving around in search of a theatre that was playing something worth paying for, when the police had flashed their cherries at us. We pulled over and after the routine check Gene bitterly asked if ''We could now proceed on wlth our nocturnal activities?" The cop took offense and thus, we were hauled out "
for a detailed search, just in case Gene's marijuana leaf shirt was an indicator of more than simple admiration for THt culture. I mumbled something about the legality of searching our persons, but the blank stare I received on]y undermined any resolve I had about they could and could not do. The bastards had me in a situation where I wasn't sure of myself, so I went with the my first general rule: Comply and wait for the moment to strike, or run if necessary. This absurd situation occurred right on a main street, not in some back alley. Passers-by di.dn't even glance at the sight of a 6' 4 ape being sprawled across the hood of a police car. This was, after all, Victoria. Victoria, the capital of British Co1umbia has busy summers, full of tourists who come to see the beautiful buildings, the Pacific ocean, whales, and of course, Parliament. Earlier in the day, my little sister had pointed to the building and asked me what it was. I replied "Oh, that's where we pay people to be indecisive, untrustworthy and useless."
The province's capital is a beautiful place, all political cynicism aside, as one can walk around its relatively small downtown and pick up anything from a 'Canada Kicks Ass' t-shirt to a stuffed mountie (the latter, I would suggest, is fully useful as a punching bag). The locals are a bit snide, but act quite civilized towards the hordes of visitors that clog their city each day. However, the militant police force does cause quite a stir of emotion in the locals, as they feel that its behaviour is totalitarian in most cases. I had heard about, and now, laying across the hood of the pig-mobile, began to understand the fear and loathing felt by young Victorians with regards to the police. This overwhelming and influen~ tial neurotic condition has created a sub-culture of defiance amongst locals. In direct contrast to the beautiful and dat ct architecture of Victoria is a group of individuals, like my cousin Gene, who have everything (and everything is indeed all encompassing in this case) pierced and/or tattooed. The eff ct of this phenomena is paradoxical. Tourists come to see beauty, and a symbol of the nation's civilization, which they do. But at the foot of these buildings are a group of young men and women, scarred with aggressive looking body art and various pierced appendages. These new citizens spit on the sidewalk and sneer at anyone resembling the establishment. The tourists are tolerated, only because they have no real role in the culture war going on in the streets; tourists are simply the audience to which the drama unfolds. It is interesting indeed that the province's capital, a symbolic centre of civilization, is the site of such a war.
