Cascade has begun its autonomy drive. We are currently dratting a constitution for the Cascade Publications Society and endeavoring to set up the necessary structures to operate independently of the Student Union Society.

ing money out of the Student Union's budget the Cascade Publications Society will collect a student levy. The Cascade will no longer be subject to a fluctuating budget from the Student Union Society .

Autonomy also means that the Cascade Editor-in-Chief will be responsible to the Cascade Publications Society Board of Directors. Instead of the editor-in-chief being hired and responsible to the Student Union Society. This in itself is a problematic relationship. If the editor-in-chief is hired and responsible to the SUS,then the Cascade is really responsible to the SUSin both content and finances. How can the editor-inchief ever criticize the boss and expect to continue on?

Autonomy isthe next step in the development of the Cascade. In 1993, the Student's Society drafted a new constitution in their drive to solidify their position as the voice Qf the students at the university college.

Dear Lolita: We are totally disappointed that your article showed a re-occurring bias. Why is it that whenever we are shown how to improve our sex lives, it is always assumed that we are having sex with a man? Been there, done that. It's time for something new. How about demonstrating good sex sans penis. Get it?

Lesbian sex!! Not a new idea. How about it? Eagerly awaiting.

Betty and Veronica.

Writing for a student press is one of the only opportunities for students to express themselves. I don't find it at all astonishing that many writers would choose to use a pseudonym, especially when dealing with controversial topics. For those driven by curiosity,who pout that pseudonyms are for writers who are afraid of the world or ashamed of their work, I say bollix.

A pseudonym is more than a name, it is a voice - for the writers who brave the world and say what they have to say, even when the world won't let them.

Dear Betty and Veronica, So sorry that you aren't enjoying the column, or at least aren't benefiting from it. Since you've already 'been there, done that', then I know you are aware that there are a lot of men out there, and there are also a lot of women. A good column is useless if it doesn't have readership.

Toappeal to both male and female readers, heterosexual topics are the way to go. Although one issue was dedicated solely to the men ("Getting to Know Your Prostate" vol 6. issue 5.), it is true that I haven't appeased the women out there yet. Again very sorry, and I will keep your requests in mind when writing in the future.

Sidonie Gabrielle Claudine Colette, wrote first under her husbands name, and in her greatest triumph simply, "Colette". Colette was a young girl of the bourgeoisie in turn of the century France with ambition and the instinct to know there was more to life than being a wife. Even girls with ambition fall in love, usually with successful scandalous men from the city.

Despite her family's reservations, Colette married her first husband Henri Gauthier-Villars when she was just twenty and moved to Paris.

"Yeah, man, I gotta concur," added in the Chief, avoiding eye contact.

"Yeah, I know," I agreed halfheartedly, "but I've got something else upstairs." I tapped my noggin so my surly, overworked boss might not tear it off.

confrontation for Henri, in a meeting with his publishers, she exposed him as a fraud and demanded respect for her work.

After a divorce in 1907, Colette continued to write. She worked as an actress, had countless affairs with women, and married two more times.

A month after her second marriage failed, Colette was vacationing with Henri, a writer himself - although a her (newly divorced) husband's son. consistently poor one, encouraged Although much of Colette's work was Colette to write. He encouraged her semi-autobiographical, this affair was to write of her school memories, the a case of life imitating art. Cheri, her racier the better.

Scandal follows quickly when writing eroticism, and Colette never shied away from a chance in the limelight.

As an actress, Colette would again find herself in the heart of scandal, as she dared to bare a breast on stage in an appearance of La Chair.

In another production, a pantomime written by one of her lovers, the Marquise de Belboef (Missy) scandalized Paris,by casting two women (Colette and Missy) as lovers in the lead roles.

to a few through out her career, and more publicly in her later years. In 1945 she was the second woman elected to the Academie Goncourt.

Despite her acclaim as a journalist, critic, playwright and actress, as an erotic novelist, Colette never had the respect a good writer deserved. Due to the fact that she never took a large public claim to her work.

Colette wouldn't stand for her work to be credited to her husband, but rather to the persona she created. It was only with the freedom granted by the pseudonym, that theater and literature was blessed with the works of the erotic novels penned under the name Colette. ~

not be placed upon free speech because they take the responsibility of deciding what is right or wrong away from the individual. Limitations curtail individual responsibilityand place it in the hands of, what Curtis Weiss termed in last week's article on child pornography, the "Morality Police."

In his article Mr. Weiss expressed his disagreement with a recent court ruling dealing with possession of child pornography. I am writing this article to express my disagreement with the fact that this case went to court in the first place. We are individuals; we are capable of making our own decisions about what to read. Why should we forfeit this freedom and put it into the hands of an elite? As Plato might ask:

an exhilarating display of African culture, students were enthralled with a music and dance celebration. At noon on Wednesday, February l 0th in the cafeteria at the Abbotsford campus we were honoured by the presence of Fana Soro, former member of the National Ballet of the Ivory Coast. He hosted a passionate session of interactive song and dance · using numerous instruments indigenous to his homeland. One such instrument isthe balafon, a wooden xylophone for which Soro's talent is widely known.

He recently moved to Vancouver after touring internationally with the ballet for nine years and spending another seven years performing independently throughout Europe as a highly acclaimed percussionist and dancer. Soro currently plays Wifh numerous bands and musicians such as the Guinean afro-fusion band Alpha Yaya Diallo, Bafing, the Cuban jazz pianist Kathy Kidd and her group, Kongo Mambo, the West African troupe Morang, and Dido Morris and his group, The Royal Drummers.

The embrace of culture experienced that day is unusual in a community with little cross-cultural awareness. · The average Abbotsfordian's idea of a cultural experience is ordering in Chinese food and· watching a dubbed Jackie Chan movie. ~

The Velvet Underground &Nico, 1967

At a time when Sonny & Cher were . blah, blah, blah-ing about peace, love and understanding, The Velvets explored themes of sado-maochism and heavy drug abuse. They also gain points for not using the word 'groovy' even though it was 1967.

Most songs will make you want to change your wardrobe to all black, while "Sunday Morning" issweet and melodic. Thisisthe closest you'll ever get to Andy Warhol's Factory.

"Rumours" Fleetwood Mac, 1977

"Rumours" confirmed my suspicion that there exists no cooler a sound than late seventies disco rock. Hey man, I grew up with this record. It's part of my life soundtrack. I am as biased as hell! Check out Dreams, The Chain, and Gold Dust Women to experience Fleetwood Mac's timelessness. (While this review was dreamily produced by the editor-in-chief, the copy editor is willing to forfeit a limb over the hand of Stevie Nicks.)

"Legend" Credence Clearwater Revival

The 8th Wonder of the World - a disc of songs that somehow, through some strange occurrence, are known word-for-word by so many.

Could it be the characteristic scotch -voice of John Fogerty? Songs like "Up Around the Bend" and "Proud Mary" are great to blare on August roadtrips, or rainy days when you need down-home, good-time music.

KT "Harvest" Neil Young, 1972

-

"Harvest" is the album that secured Neil Young among the Rock and Roll elite (if that's not a contradiction in terms). Young commented that this was his finest album, although it brought him to the middle of the road. "That soon becama a bore, so I headed for the ditch." Truly,this album is for those who are being, rather than becoming.

KB

Bob Marley and the Wailers

"Legend" isa collection of Marley:s best reggae. During his twenty year career, Marley became known for his ability to touch the emotions of many people. He has become an idol to his countrymen and beyond. Songs like "Redemption Song," "Get Up, Stand Up," and "Buffalo Soldier," make it easy to understand why so many loved him. This album is one of the classics and no music collection would be complete without it. DH

"The Birth of the Cool" Miles Davis, 1949

In jazz, as in other music, some things are of their time, some ahead of it, while others simply know no time at all. The Miles Davis Nonet was a product of a specific time and place, but it was decades ahead of its time. Thisrecord inspired a . number of jazz developments that followed and took their lead from it. Then, as now, the sound of Miles Davis is something transcendent, something perfect.

CB

"White Rabbit & Other Hits" Jefferson Airplane, 1965

"Pack Up The Plantation" Tom Petty, 1985

The epitome of the crazed psychedelic scene in the late l 960's San Francisco, the Jefferson Airplane's unique blend of rock, folk and electric blues was the sound of the 'flower power' generation. Exploring youthful rebellion, mind expansion, and bold new ideas, even today Jefferson Airplane's music remains bold and frenetic.

CB

Maybe the greatest live album ever produced, "Pack Up the Plantation" is filled with great songs most of us have never heard played to death on the radio. Do girls screw you up? Tom understands.

Rollup a big fatty, pour a couple ounces of hard liquor in a dirty glass, and crank the fourth trdck. "Breakdown" is simply, well, intoxicating.

Pashak tried to describe how our only sense of who we are within our culture is in relation to what is vogue at the time.

Pashak wer.it on to describe how in the sixties many male Caucasian artists championed such notions'as racism and sexism.

Thursday, February 4th I visited the "Realm of Desire", a concept which Bruce Pashak has been dealing with for many of his recent works.

The show consists of a group of paintings by Pashak, a professional artist who has taught painting for four and half years within the Visual Arts program at the Abbotsford Campus of UCFV.

WEST VANCOUVER.

Both of Pashak's portraits of dogs contain abstract elements, which again play into the notion of how he defines himself. Pashak is part of the Pop culture, whether or not he follows it or pushes its boundaries. The intent of these massive profiles of dogs was said by Pashak to be a replacement element - just one of many obsessions within our society. The concept entails how common elements of nearly every household such as the dog, can act as a substitute for such social necessities as a family, a career, or a certain valued way of life. Replacement objects can act as automatic fillersfor the voids existing in our lives. The solid graphic objects with the paintings replace section which were initially part of the subject, in these two cases, a dog. The abstract elements within the dog portraits em-

phasize the fact that he is discussing the specific use of these objects as replacements for voids in our lives.

In Pashak's continuing discussion with his student, he highlighted the fact that it is essential to be able to talk about your work with honesty, while still leaving an element of rn\Jc+An, IA/ith th A lorirls

I congratulate the students on their success in this show. Most of the works had a very strong link in intent. The work of these second term students illustrates the energy and vitality they feel. about their choice of studies. In many of the works I can see strong signs of their talent and devotion to the medium of photography. As these students pursue their studiesand careers, one of the "SL!" most essential elements that can elevate their work to another level is the amount of effort given to the presentation. ~

Wow, what a backwards. shocker.

The plot ....ummmm ....well. ...from the few times it reared it's ugly head, it looked like a bad rendition of the old youth-against-authority story. Varsity Blues was billed as a comedy so I'll review it as one. The movie represents everything about Americans that we make fun of: football, guns, big noisy trucks, and gratuitous sex, and of course, Texas.

The East Texastown of West Canaan has an obsession with the local high school football team, the Coyotes.

The team has been coached to twenty-two division titles by the same crusty old fossil,coach Bud Kilmer(Jon Voight) who likesthings done hisway.

The Coyotes are on the way to their twenty-third title when the star

As for the comedy, it's subtle humour.

They want us to see through the stupid sight gags to see the big joke.

That joke being the fact that we shelled out good money to see a ridiculous plot, bad acting and the overall stupidity of a story about high school sports in the good 'ol U.S.of A However, everyone likes to laugh at the misfortune of others; this tendency is not lost in Varsity Blues. We get to see the utter humiliation of Jon Voight, at one time one of the biggest names in Hollywood, now reduced to playing a lame role in an even lamer movie. Thismovie is truly funny if you get the biggest joke of all: it's a social commentary on the state of our generation.

In the immortal words of Mr. T, "I pity de too." ~ .

Itwasn't going to be easy. We would have to take liquor, devastating scenery, two hardened, cynical journalists, and lots of really loud, suburban pseudo-punk and somehow, someway turn it into a story.

It started with a local rock n' roll promoter and the prospect of college students, wallets full of someone else's money, eager to consume pop culture.

Nickelback was opening for the Headstones. We knew little about this strange thing they call rock, we thought we should investigate. The promoter wanted publicity. We wanted in.

We were told that we could talk to Nickelback, but we were to have no access for photos or interviews with the featured act the Headstones. Translation: "You college schmucks can talk to the opening act but forget about Hugh Dillon." Dillon, the Mickey Rourke looka-like lead-singer of the Headstones, is being propositioned by Hollywood, and he's way too cool for the Cascade.

We arrived late, missing our first opportunity to talk to the opening act, Nickelback. These northern Albertan guys sound like they spend their spare time splitting granite with their guitars, in tune. When lead singer Chad asked if anyone had the first Nickelback release, the crowd affirmed loudly that these guys had definitely been over the Rockies. I would have a chance to talk to Chad later, and he turned out to be a solid, down to Earth guy. They played until about ten-thirty, and set the tone for the crowd in a big way.

After slamming around a bit to the heavy chords of Nickelback, it was time to get to work. I went straight to the bar. With supplies in hand I approached the promoter to again try and talk my way backstage, and Hugh Dillon. "No," was the only response. The deviant in me began immediately looking for a way in. The back door of the bar was covered by large, burly, antijournalist fascists. A students's budget does not exactly allow for standard music industry persuasion, so I went back inside to spend my money on beer.

I had at least one connection among the staff at the bar, and I thought this person might be able to help. I was shown to the green room where the Headstones would be getting ready. Again, large neanderthal literary critics were waiting to stop me.

I thought to myself, "Don't these guys know that we're from the Cascade? I mean, Rolling Stone doesn't get the interviews that we get! Don't the Headstones want to be famous?"

My question was answered when a huge uproar from the crowd announced the entrance of the Headstones. I thought that I might as well do some research before their set started.

I went straight to the bar. Maybe I would get my chance after the show.

After researching the latest in ale, our camera man and I joined the throng and prepared to lose ourselves amongst the immanent frenzy. Kevin, our camera man, is a photographic zealot and has been known to throw around entire crowds just to get hisshot.

He had been told not to take any photos, but I could see the righteous fire burning in his eyes. He was breathing heavily, and his breath reeked of film developer. I knew something was going to happen. I was informed by one of the bouncers that I couldn't be on the dance floor with my beer. I retreated around behind the bouncer to the other side of the floor where he couldn't see me. From my vantage point I could see Kevin pulsating to the opening chords of the Headstones. His camera hand was twitching, and I knew he was going to lose it.

in between sets and had barricaded themselves in the green room.

I passed the time doing a bodylanguage interview with a particular honey-haired swirl. The band came back on and I realized that I might as well enjoy the rest of the show. I had rarely even considered the Headstones' music before that night. I probably never will again.

"Tellme about the Kerouac film."

(Dillon had appeared in a little known flick called Curtis's Charm based on a story by Jack Kerouac) "Kerouac?" he eyed me with mistrust. "You want to know about Kerouac?"

He was about to continue when a woman came up to him and he lost interest in me. He spoke a few words to her, dismissed her, and continued to sign a few autographs. I was reminded by the toady about my lack of female genitalia. Hugh Dillon smiled at me and nodded, confirming my sexual status.

Despite this the band is very well rehearsed, and they put on a frenetic, two-hundred and forty volt performance (I think Hugh Dillon usesthis same voltage to style his hair). Come to think of it, Hugh Dillon is completely rehearsed. It is unfortunate that his hand I persisted, "So that's what it's is locked in that hex sign. It looked like about, chicks for free?" he was frustrated at his inability to pick his nose.

Heather Robertson comes to us with a wealth of experience and knowledge - "please give her a warm welcome. The Ombudsmun Office is located in Room A35 l on Abbotsford Campus and (temporarily) in EI OI on Chilliwack Campus. Office hours will be posted at the SUS Offices on each campu~ and at UCFV Reception in Mission.

in

The gym building will soon be a reality with Architecture Selection interviews starting in March. We are looking forward to offering a proposal to run the food kiosk in the gym building - this could mean more avenues for students groups to raise funds and more work study positions available for UCFV students. And what ever happened to that student space issue? ...we hear that the dim bulb has been replaced and that student groups can now breath a bit easier ...let's hope that this is NOT just another rumor!

Student Association Awareness Week ------------• Student Association Awareness Week is brought to UCFV by Jill Harrison in Student Events. This takes place Feb. 22, 23 and 24.

Student Associations, Groups and Clubs will proudly display their stuff in the Great Hall on these days with entertainment galore in the Cafeteria. (Keep your ears opened for the Radio Station Information booth) Everyone is encouraged to stop by and meet the Ombudsmun ' and some of the most active students at UCFV, sign up for a club, or at the very least, throw your name in the hat to win some great door prizes.

That two day break that we have been brainwashed into believing is Spring Break starts on Feb. 25 - so, be sure to visit the Drug and Alcohol Awareness Table and Safe Break Table.

An Orientation Table will be available for any students who are interested in being a part of Orientation 1999-2000.

SUS EIeCtIOnS I

It is that time of year again. All positions on the SUS Council are up for grabs. March 8 is when the nomination period is officially open - March 15 is the closing. Nominee list will be posted on March 18 and an All Candidates Forum is scheduled for March 19. Voting takes place on both Abby and Chwk Campuses on March 23, 24, and 25. Watch the walls for details or stop by one of the SUS offices for more info.

Nominee packages will be available from either office by March 8.

HOW PISSED OFF ARE YOU? I suppose it is not enough to charge students $12. 50 for a library and tech. fee (then reduce library hours and have computer labs that might work) then charge students 6% of their tuition on top (this includes: the infamous Activities fee which in reality is an Athletics fee - why don't they want us to know this??, the SUS fee, the Legacy fee, the insurance fee ....have I missed any?) ...after this I suppose it makes sense to start charging us wealthy students for the privilege of graduating. After all, it is not like we haven't paid enough for our educations. (Note: please look to page 8 of the 1998-99 UCFV Calendar where it states: "a fee for graduation may be instituted" ...who decided?, for what reason? ...and when exactly were they going to tell us?) Don't forget to apply to graduate by April 1, 1999.

Human Rights Awareness Week HRAW was, in our opinion, overall a huge success. Most events were well attended - it is interesting to note that NO ONE showed up to the Students Rights fDUiscussionf·a···hmmtmS... t at

To Jeff Cuvilier - for all the work he did to get more student lounge areas with furniture.

More conversation and relaxation space is definitely a contribution to student life. Thanks also to UCFV for providing the furniture. (Although the seats may not be that comfortable it is a start in the right direction ...and after all, we do have that student insurance policy that we have been payiQg into for years to cover the cost of preparation H.)

Fact: you can purchase tickets for the shuttle bus without prescheduling your ride. You can also still register to become a driver and ride for free (free? ...what's that?) The shuttle bus is offered as a trial service.

a better deal for students? Let us know. Here's an idea .... how about all revenues from all video games, pool tables and pop machines gets split equally between all registered students associations/groups/clubs? Just a thought.

If you are new here you might be saying "What red tape at UCFV?". If you are a UCFV Lifer you are probably saying "Oh yeah, Red Tape!". The SUS voted at their Feb. 12 meeting to temporarily adopt 'Red Tape' as the official symbol of· unity among Student Association, Groups and Clubs.

What the hell does that mean? ...continue reading.

It means that the SUS, Student Associations, Groups and Clubs will stand united against the evil tyranny of the red tapeexclusivity contract-nickel and dime students to death regime. It means that we will unite to find an end to the red tape any student group has to face in trying to set up and maintain a club, group or association. If you support this peaceful protest, pick up your red tape at the SUS booth during Student Association Awareness Week and wear it proudly .

We

are in the late stages of a war on drugs that is now claiming about one victim a day in Vancouver. In BritishColumbia, the leading cause of death for adults aged 30 to 49 isoverdose from injection drug use. Something needs to be done.

Canada's Criminal Code is flawed. Arresting a drug addict does not cure him. Drug addicts need to be treated for their addictions.

..

:,"'

'

In Switzerland, medically prescribed heroin was shown to be effective for treating street heroin addicts. The use of prescribed heroin as maintenance for opiate (heroin, morphine, and codeine) addiction isthe next logical step in demilitarising Canada's failed war on drugs. Prescribing heroin could improve the health and life conditions of heroin addicts and, at the same time, reduce the socio-economic costs associated with addiction.

The logic behind heroin prescription is simple: when an addict is supplied with the drugs to which she is addicted, the need to commit crime is lessened (Most addicts are not criminals by nature, but become addicted and then find they need to support an expensive .habit. Crime becomes the only means possible to support their addictions).A prescription heroin program is not the cure for heroin addiction.

An addict who is given heroin from the government is still an addict. However, if an addict is forced-on a daily basis-to be in contact with health care providers (the nurses administering the prescriptions), he will know where to seek assistance when he decides to deal with his addiction. This is of vital impo,rtance.

From my own experience of living in the Downtown Eastside, I know that most addicts do not realise that there are treatment options available.

Most drug addicts in Vancouver's skid row district have simply resigned themselves to the fact that they are junkies. They expect to one day die of an overdose and find peace.

Program for the Medical Prescription of Narcotics, Zurich Institute for Social and Preventative Medicine a.t the University of Zurich, 1997.

I. Income from illegal and semi-legal activities decreased dramatically: 10% as opposed to 59% originally.

II. Both the number of offenders and the number of criminal offences decreased by about 60% during the first six months of treatment (according to information obtained directly from the patients and from police records).

Ill. The participants' housing-situation rapidly improved and stabilised (in particular, there were no longer any homeless).

IV Fitnessfor work improved considerably. Those with permanent employment more than doubled (from 14% to 32%), and the number of unemployed fell by more than a half (from 44%to 20%).

The remainder lived on benefits, irregular employment or were engaged in housework.

V Debts during the treatment period were constantly and substantially reduced.

VI. A third of patients who, on admission, were dependent on welfare required no further support; On the other hand, others turned to welfare support as a result of the loss of illicit income.

VII. Contact with drug dependants and the drug scene declined massively, but was not adequately replaced by new social contacts during the observation period. ~

If you're conc:erned about the Year 2000 Bug...

No one has all the answers.

But we can help.

Your computer When the year 2000 rolls around, your personal computer could get confused.

It could start to read the year 2000 as the year 1900. Essentially, that's the Millennium Bug. Lots of other electronic devices could catch it too, but your computer is the most vulnerable.

Hardware, software, operating systems, data - all could be affected. So could printers, modems, and scanners. We can show you how to test your computer for possible Year 2000 difficulties. And we can help you to find out which products and suppliers are Bug-free.

Your finances Canada's banks, other deposit-taking institutions and related organizations such as VISA, MasterCard, and the lnterac Association expect to have their technology fully prepared. They are developing back-up systems and contingency plans to deal with any unforeseen events. If you have questions, you should contact your financial institution.

Your household appliances You probably don't have to worry about your appliances. The Bug will hit only those that depend on dates to work properly. If you can unplug an appliance and then turn it back on without

having to reset anything, it should be OK. None of your equipment should stop working altogether. But timing devices · could be a problem on some \(CRs, fax machines, security alarms, digital thermostats, answering machines, and video and digital cameras. We can help you to get Year2000 information supplied by appliance retailers and manufacturers.

Your car Manufacturers say it is highly unlikely that the Bug will cause car problems.

We can show you what several of the -major car manufacturers have to say about the Bug and their products.

Don't wait until you have a problem to begin finding out about the Year 2000 Bug. Start now! Watch for the Millennium Bug Homecheck guide in your mailbox. For more information call:

Live Music The Mahones & Pleasure Wednesday, February 24

Wednesday the twenty-fourth of February will see another couple of great Canadian bands come to play our tiny burg. At Animals on Wednesday night, Pleasure, a Vancouver based group will open for the Celticcharged college-favorite, The Mahones.

Pleasure rele.psed their debut album 'Joyologist' this past March from their own Ear Art Studios with Mike Plotnikoff (Cranberries, Kiss,INXS)handling the mix. If ·~onic melody' makes any sense to you ot alt Pleasure will give you an ear and mindful.

The main act the Mahones is from Kingston, Ontario, and if you know anything about college music, the name Kingston alone should get you to the show. Hmmm ....do we know any other incredible Canadian bands out of Kingston? Maybe one or two. The Mahones are presently promoting their third album, 'The Hellfire Club Sessions.' The name of the album comes to us straight out of Irish Folklore. The Hellfire Club was a society. of monks in the 1700's who are more famous for debauchery, orgies, and gambling than piety. I can only say that I will be there to support this tradition. My Irish mother would be so proud.
