MEDlAWHORE

We nre medin whon:s here at the Cascndc. The Cascade is finc1n1:edby your student f'ccs, via the SUS. and by private industry. The SUS nrc a bunch of tightwnus. H\!lp support those that support you; buy ::-tuft' from the people who advertise in the Cascade because they support our wacky blend of pornography and jnurnnlisrn. Speaking of money, we have some 4ues• tions that you should ask your SUS repre• scntativc.

/\1 the beginning or the year we all raid our student fee~. Thai money came C'"l tn ahout three hundred thousand dollars. Out of that big wad of cash the student union is spending about a hundred thOLJ· snnd dollars in salaries, including mine. Is thn1 whnt you wanted when you paiu your fees? Personally, I think you wanted 10 raise the salaries uf Cascade employees. These pust couple of week~ there were 1wo attempt~ to get student involvement in the SUS. both ldl like Opr,1h1111 heels.

Anyway. hc1e i~ our sccnnd isw~ it's better than 1hi: first. Some of the staff felt uncornl'ortahle with the hrcu~t on last issue so I won't he able to put another nn until I fire them. If you lil--c breast~ like I like hrcusts let me know and I'll put nnothcr one on.

CASCADEOFFENDS$EVEN

Tt hns come to my aucntion that The Toque is talking shit about the Cascade and the SUS. In his editorial Kris Lind tattled on some past SUS indiscretions. He has his opinion, l have mine.

The C'ast:ade hus been obsessed with autonomy fur as long as I have been a pa11 of it. Cascade autonomy has its good sides and bad. Cascade autonumy will ullow us to gel linnnces directly from st11den1fee~ and not through the student union. l ndependcncc ii. cool: it makes LI!\ able tn spend mnncy with virtually no accountability (kinda like what till' SUS i$ doing

WELCOME BACK

this year). A version of this was tried last year; the Cascade went over budget by about ten thousand dollars. To give you some perspective, our entire annual budget is only thil'teen thousand. That budget is only a starting point we ulso get ad sales from the local community and from Campus Plus. Since the Cascade has always taken in less than it has spent, it is hard 10 believe that the SUS would use us as o cash cow.

Cascade members mainruin editorial control over their own work. Nobody l'rom the SUS hus had any editorial control over the Cascade so far this year. We have a giant photo uf n musturbuting walrus on the office wall, office censor• ship has not been a problem here. N()whcrc in my. or any other stuff, member's contract is there the termination clause that Kris claimed in the Toque's first i:,sue. The reason that we hnd such trouble getting our first issue but this year was because last years Cascade employees locked up tlw Cascade's computer system and quit.

Kris, if you want to bnsh the SUS be my guest, but don't bad talk the Cnscade.

THESTUDENTUNION$0ClETY:ANOUTSIDER'$VIEW

by Crystcl Clements

Huving been associated with the st1 1dent union quite closely for the pusl three years, I l'ind myself' looking back fondly at all or the positives the SUS has accomplished. I would like to inform the siudenls or the good and the bad of the Student Union Society.

The Good: -they have put all employees on contract (including Cascade writers which lead lo a month delay in issues) so that the society (of which UCFV students are members) will nor be legally liable for any students acting

outsitle policy who don't have a contract.

This reduces YOUR risk of being sued.

-They hnve signed a Studenl Activity Centre contract lhal ensures students will have priority ucccss IO the new Cc11trc/Gym.

-They have got plans to increase the size or their offices so servicc1i arc more visible and accessible.

Editor.~Note: The SUS plans In take one of the Cascade's two offices, they already look our gcttn blaster and our gond, comfy chair.

-They give out many emergency student grants to UCFY students.

-They arc continually petitioning for

Whul is up with the l:ick of pnrking spucei,'! We have u new parking lot oncl still tllm:'s no parking avuilable. The church is fu 11.by Fi 1111egan ·s is packed, by D building there sceI11sto never have a spot nvailable, antl the rrunt Women's parking 101 is full two minutes after someone leavei,. Tuesday and Thursdny night classes must have a lot of women in them because 1hu1 parking lot is always full. Conslllntly I see women walking over tu Finncgan·s llown that dark street just to get to their cars.

1 have a request, either get a security guurd to patrol the po1en1iully problem areas. or place more emergency po ts in these areas. WonH.:n at this university shouldn·t have to rake unnecessary risks ju ·t to go home, or arrive for that matter. Abo, 1 sec men going 10 their cars in the women's parking lot lifter seven. Mind you men who have classes frot11 five until seven shouldn't have to run out to their cars to move them, but more post• ings or thc design.11edwomen's parking lot shou Id be madc.

Many of the parking lots eould be made safer if only the visibility wasn·t horrible. The teacher's parkiug lot by D building could use a light or two, We do have women teachers too. I come from a tow11 where women were taken off the street and never found. This problem shouldn't have a chance of surfacing here at UCPV. The studenrs should be safo to walk to Iheir cars. Carpooling i • for saving gas. Walking in groups is for saving stutlenls.

The times, they are a chang111·. /\11d you can't smell the bittcrsweel winds ur change more than in good old Ottawa. as rough new laws concerning terrorism are pa sec.l. lhc military is calh.:d out to help out in the uuacks 011 Afghanistan, and lhe police nrc given extensive new powers to ferret out all who threaten national und internationol security. Even our Justicc Minister. Anne M<:Ldlun has aid she'll co11sider~xtrnditing people suspected of terrorism, even ir they face torture or the dewh penally in other countries. Some Canadians arc already saying that this goes too far, 1ha1enough civil libcrtic.s that wc Canadinns cherish have been removed. Some say just the opposite. But the 111ainthing to consider is thar this isn '1 over yet - not by a long shot. Oh yeah, there's a lot more waiting in the wings.

It sccm~ that 1-lalloween has comc early, because we are faced with u ghost frn111 our own grimy political past. Brian Mulroney is back with a vengcancc, and advising thc Bush administration on us, or more importantly our government and his bitter long time political rivnl. Jean Chretien. He and the Bush clan gel along so well together, you couldn't tell they weren't one big happy family. Both favor harmonizatinn and intesrution of CJnada with the United States on a variety of fronts: economic, military, law. Even the adoption of a vague North American perinictcr. And Mulroncy, with his

loathing or Chretien nnd what he stanu:. for, will use his cnn,1den1hlc inlluence within the Bush administnninn to get it. Signs or that pushing can he seen even now. Mulro11ey's activities. including suspected lcnk. tn the rncJiu, huvc amused the ire nf the fJrime Ministcr·s office to the point that one highly rankcJ official shuut• ed, ''Can you believe this! What is Mulroney doingT Jt i:<a /o.ignor ht1w much inlluencc Mlllroney has :ind what the Prin1e Minster and his supporters rhink of it. Mulroncy opinion of Chre1ien is no secret. I le certainly has no love for the Prime Minister who he once termcll ll stumblcbum•·. and h.is soid that Cltrclicn's actions concerning terrorism were 100 slow anu weak in n;sponse to September 11, 13utin the end he gut what he and Bush wanleu all along: compliance from Canada to such an extent that Canaua is assisting in the seeking .in<l eliininuting ur tcrr(lrist targets in Afghanisrnn, a11dp11s•

~ihlc assistance when lht: military frn;w, :.wings l'rn111Afghanistan t\, nev. tuIget), in Iraq anll Yemen.

Such stmng-,1rming must have Chretien scei11g red. Mr. Chretien. though a rrcc trader and suppmter or globulizHlio11. is u very strong advncnle of Carwdi,111:-.uvcrcignty (Ind national value~. /\11clwith the ide11of continental union being pursued ferociously by U.S. Republicans, panics to the right such as the Alliance, an<l even so,nc of his own libcrnls under the leader:.hip of Paul Martin, Chretien hns his work cut out for him. The union nf Canad.i and the United States is snmething Chretien will figh1 tooth and nail against. \Jot only because it nies in the foce of his nwn belicrs, but it's an idca that came not from him, but l'ro11t rivals or the Mulroney brethren.

Thttt·s why while under Chretien·s watch, the border may bend. but it may not break. I k will ,wt allow it.

A someone new to U FV. I was anx ious to get my hands on a swdent paper lo set what others were thinking, anti lo feel u sense of connection With other stutlcnts in this unfamiliar college cnvironnie111.Artcr suffering a drought of interesting student-oriented reauing material, I grntcrully picked up The Cascade on Ocwbcr I oth and proceeded t<) plough through it. After the lirst page, however, 1 ran into difficulty.

publication being "a little late" In the mission statement right beside his note, it states that the Cascade is a twice month• ly publication That would mean that it wa!> nnt a little late, but two editions behind.

Second, Mr. Clark supposes that we would not wnnt lo rush hi1n and make him ncrvou!;. While nerves arc entirely l'orgivable and people were likely most gracious in waiting for the year's first publication, I would think that he would try to avoid such a slapdash prc!>cntalion us this.

STUDENT$STRANDEDFORHOLIDAY$

by Ray Critch, The Muse

ST. JOHN'S, Nfld. (CUP) - Airlirle cutbacks and jit1ery trnvelers has Travel CUTS, the national student travel ngency, worried over the coming holiday rush.

Studcnl lruvcl is normally booked far in udvam:c of the holiday season.The agency, which is operated by the Canadian Federation of Students, said snles were brisk leading up to the Sept. 11 am1cks in the U.S. Since the atlacks. sales have plummeted.

Flight uvuilability bus .ilso dr'icd up. leaving some worried there won't be enough nights to get students hnme rl)r the holidays.

Because there are only so mnny discounted seats on a plane, cost will be anorher worry this season. In a press release, Rod Hurd, president of Travel CUTS said: ''The uirl i ncs arc offering rcwer seats at the r,rices students are used to paying."

To help students. Travel CUTS is smrting n free travel requesr registry.

Robert Wooden. regional marketing manager for Travel CUT sny!; staff wi.:rt.:sent to different universities to find out how many students were looking tu travel und where.

He says if students want to go hoine for Christmas, they had better bnok now.

Wi1u run th1: meetini;?

The meeting begun as any, hy calling to order ut I 0:05 Wc<lncsduy. October I 0, 200 t. Thn~e who u1ter1dedDave Burnie, acting President, Jo~e U1,c:itegui. Puhl ii; lnformnti0n Officer, Jon.ithan Resler, General .Studies Representntivc We~t. Jennifer Rath, Al'ts and Applied :irts Representative. and Tummy Mclellan. the Office Manager nnd Advi!>Clr.

This meeting was the sr1111ens any you would expect except for the l,1ck of purticipation. Students cithcr didn't know nhnut this meeting ur·didn't cn,·e. Except rnrmyself us a student on behalf of the Cascade, then: was no one th1;:rcon behalf or the students. The meeting wailed for thirty minute~ before beginning.

They don't get paid'!

Editorial note: Al tlte meeting they voted themselves a $15001111011thraise, te11 time.r more than the total Cascade salary.

or all the points brought up in the meeting. one comes to mind. The fact that the tudenl Council to do the work, and don't get puid. The Financinl Report has been adjusted t0 allow a salary for the executives in the council. These students work twenty-five hours or mme a week Lo make sure thnt our school has the students in mind. Duve Burnie: brought up this poim nntl l ug,·eewitl1 the fact th..tt the student council is lloing u job und should gt:l pnid fnr it. They arc full time stude1,ts who !lave to hllld u full time job ror money. and then have tn come to scl1ool to wnrk.

The Student Union Society talked about 1l1e,ninutes fmn1 the lust meeting. They discussed some points brought up in the last meeting. Talked about the budget and whar they plan 10 do in terms of the Cascade, contingency planning. paying the SUS. expenses, and the possibility of planning a bush after this school year.

Who showed up'!

The point thnt w:is repemed a lot was thut I was the only student there. The council IC\Okedfor people tu oppose them but I had nothing to say. Quota for these rnccting is around 69 people. when ii cmne tu Vllling time I had no problems saying yes. The 1necti11ghad complete ugrccmcnt in all issues.

The council did ask for the word to go out on thc~c meetings and asks the students to check the SUS door for a list 111g of the meetings or just around the school. Notification of these meetings is available for the swdents and it's up to you to stand up for yourst:I f.

Who loves Halloween?

The SUS is planning to have a Pumpkin Carving contest on 1he 30th. so they ask tilul you sign up your teams in advanced. Plus the SUS is handing out chocolate bars tu a11yoncin costume on the 31st. Su get in the mood and get your costumes out for Al I Hullows Eve. I' II be in costume will you?

What Els1o '!

Other points !hut were br()ught up for thought was. getting another bank machine (a cheaper one). Finally gelling interact in the cni'eterin. Gtming another change machine since there is only one by the c.ifeteri,1. Looking into another print card nrnchine and p111ti11g it in D building. The fact that the SUS personal only get 15cents per km when they trnvel should he increused a11dweighed on the gas prices. Plus, other such ideas as lonking into the working or non working situution with 111cnew careteria nutnage111ent.

How can I help?

Al. o. I ask that i r you have any problems or questions for the SUS please come to the next meeting, check bulli.:tin boards for local listings. Plu~. you cun Hlsn uddn.;ssyrn,r cnrnplnint). directly\<) 1hc StJSm:rnwrntl in their office five dayu1

CERTAINLYNOTCNN

by Adrian Sinclai,

Sitting in the ~econd row or the standing morn only theatre, I was roasting like leftover Thar1ks£ivini; turkey, it was Octoher 16th, and oil eyes were forward, waiting for the "Forum 011 Terrorism" to begin.

For those of us sick of seeing the world through the lens or ()nc mega new corporation. the UCFV President's Lecture Series was a welcome event. The wide ranging views on terrorism expressed by the pan• elists were a welcome change from the orciinarily nurrow perspective of our mass media.

With a title like "rorum on Terrorism," the event almost guaranteed il pu<.:kcdtheatre lwcrflowing with penple. The hoards began to file in arter 6:00pm and the seals wcn.: filled hefore 7:00. In a strnnge twist of rate, the topic of te1rorism was selected for UCFV's October lecture before the events of September 11th. The fortuitous selec\ion of the topic was not lost on the audience as they solemnly found their seats. Soon al'ter 7:00,

Skip Bassfortl. ucrv president, intrnduced the forum's moderator. Dr. Peter Jones. Junes, being the former president or UCFV. sec111edright at home behintl thc podium as he introduced the live panelists.

Jeremy Spincllove, dressed in a suit and wearing a thuughtful cxpression, was the first lo addre the pm:kctl house .Jeremy is co-author of a new book entitled "Temirism Today: the Past. the Present, and Future," Spindlove's life expericm;c has given him a unique first hand view on terroris111.He was n Security Manager for British Airways in the Middle East during the I970's and 80's and served as n Oritish police officer in the 1960's involved in investigating IRA tenw allttcks.

/\llempting lo describe the mindset of America prior to the attacks, Spindlovc speculated that Americans saw rhemselves in what he calls "Fortress America." where there is a moat protecting them on all sides. America's medieval castle was toppled when the World Trade Center was atta<:kecl. Al'tt:r this tragedy, a worldwide war un terrorism was declared by the United States. Spindlove helieves that the problem with this situation is that the war on terrorism did not start on Sept 111h.but has been raging for over a century throughout thl! world. He pointed to examples nf terrorism in Ireland. lsruel. Lebanon, and Syri;i, America. he observed. did nnt ~cc terrorism as a worldwide problem unti I it wus effected. Mtisl of Spindlove's repmrks were informative a11cl yct not exceeuingly controversial.

In this way he providetl a l'avorublc in1roJuctio11 tlI the tnrit: whik staying relatively objective with hii- views.

NL·xt lo speak was Darryl Plecns. a 1:riminal Justice Professor whn ha, bCl!II teaching 01 UCFV since I 979. and l'l..'.ci.:111winner of the ucr,v Teaching Excelleni.;e Award. Throughn11t his prcsen tnt ion he was l!ngaging anti thought provnki ng. Fron, Plecas, we were given many sla• 1is1icsnnd a broad base of issues linked lo the problem of tl.!rrnri,m. He first addressed Canadian immigration policy. cIung America's desire w have C.mada to tighkn up nur boarder. This. America believes, will limit terrorists from entering North /\meric;i. Ple1:as<:ompletely disagrees with this ill-conceived notion and poin1s to the

necessity of C;111udacontinlling its open door policy. He rail5 against the "tl1elting pot model," stating that one in six Canadians arc lirst generation. This diversity is act11.illy our best weapon against terrorism when you 1:onsider that immigrants in Canada have a 50% lower crime rate th;in non-immigrants. It i~ interesting to note that, historically, scape-goating minorities during a time of national panic is nothing new.

Plecas provides further ince11tivcfor main• taining a welcoming immigration policy by contrasting Canada against countries with closed-door policies. He states fro111personal experience that the 1:ottn• tries he has visited with strict boarders nnd excessively tight security have very little in the way of freedom. At one point in his travels. he had lo pass through 50 police officers armed with assault ri Iles just to get lo a meeting. Tf we tighten our bonrdcrs anc.l begin to sncri fice SOlllC civic rights to corn• bat terrorism. it cciuld lead to a police stme. He sees this as 11n-Canadian, and I tend to agree.

Followini:; his very appropriate und well-spoken defense of Canndu's immigru• tion policy, he venIured forward untl offered a concrete way of fighting terrorism. First of all, I would like to congratulate him on actually taking a stab at this, since it is mu<:h easier to hypothesi:z:eabout problems than to solve them.

Although I thoroughly agreed with Darryl Plet:as's views on immigration, I found myself taking issue with the steps he recomn1e11cledwe take to solve the terror problem. Hi.: proposed two things Canada should do if we are to 1:ornbat terrorism. First, we should in,provc and expand our national intelligence servi1:e. (No specific agency wus mentioned but he was probably referring to SIS a11dthe RCMP.) With increased resources and funding. these organizations woulcl better track down terrorists hiding in Canada.

Docs this seem contradictory? In his defcnse of Canada's immigration policy, he spoke of the slippery slope of tightening security at the expense of individual freedoms. lncrl!asing CSIS's ability to gather inforniation on Canadians could be seen as one step clown that slippery slope. His second proposed manner of fighting terrorism was more palatable. He believes that if we focus 011 fighting "Narco-tcrrorism," then we can address a root cause of the problem. In order to finance successful terror campaigns, a terrorisL group must have u sufficient cash tlow.

Plecas has found that the terrorists' method of choice for raising funds for terrorist actions is the growing, producing, and dealing, of nar<:otics. He site~ that 67% of Ihe world's heroin comes from Afghnnista11. He argues that if we eliminate the financial strength oi' a terrorist group. 1hen they cease to be a threat. Yes, this could work. but America has been fighting "The war on drugs" domestically and internationully for years, and their success has been very limited at best.

Laurie Parsons was the third speaker of the evening. She is a member of the Women's Resource Society of the Fraser Valley and has recently completed a fundraising project to support women in Afghanistan. During her succinct and fiery presentation. Parsonspointed out a lillle talked about angle to the terrorism debate.

"P<1rtof whal seems to he fuelling our justi• fication for the war in Afghanistan is a moral superiority. This moral superiorily is evident in the way we compare rights for women in Canada with the rights for women in Afghanistan." 1lere she sees J'cel!i it is unacceptable to use 1he suffering of Afghan women ,1s pawns in the political game of war. She observes that Afgh1111 women's rights arc trnly being considered to bolster America's moral justification for war. I .astly. he points out the sad irony

that. "in one breath, women are described as 'poor victims of the Taliban regime,· and in the very next breath, as 'collateral damage."' Parsons raised valid questions about the war in Afghanistan, and her comments 1:enainly added to the wide range of perspectives offered at this forum.

'!'he :,;econd last presenter was Ron Dart. Currently a professor of political science and world religions at UCFY, he is also the former Middle East coordinator for Amnesty lmcrnational. As he stepped up to the podium, sporting an intricately knit pullover, he appeared composed and focussetl.

He began, as all the panclists did, by expressing his grief and sorrow over the events of September 11th. He made it dear that, "the attack on America (was) an unacceptable act of terrorism and the work of cowards." He then slated that we must examine the other side of the events of September 11th_ "We mu l ask why Amerii.;u would be attacked. how do other nations in other parts of the work! feel nbout the USA, anti why is there such negative reelings in many parts or thll world (toward the USA)?"

Ron Datt, then gut to the meat and potatoes of his prt'scntation. as he drew the jammed theatre's attention to the track record and history or Amel'ica's actions in other parts of' the world since WWJI. To uvoid being hypocritical, he says, we n1ust apply the same standards to America's actions as we would to other countries. Dar1 went 011 to chronicle 16 different CIA operations in which it is estimmed that the USA is accountable for over eight million deaths. Exnrnples would include East Timor, where the USA supplied the Indonesian army with weapons to slaughter 200.000 Tim()rese peuple in 1975, and the Dominican Republic where 3000 were killed when the CIA toppled the Government. Other cxnmplcs included operations in Indochina, and Angola where millions were killed due to US involvement.

Following this sobering barrage of /\merican iniquities he clared us to look at both sides and ask who arc the real terrorists and why are the deaths of people in the USA "worthy of much attcntion but those who are outside the imperial center not as worthy."

In his conclusion he asks us as Canadian, not to blindly follow the US into what lte culls an "imperial war that is more about defending American hurt and pain than standing for truth. goodness. and benllty.'·

Dart then finishes by saying that Canada should, i11stcad,act as a restraining con• ~cience to the empire to the South.

Although Dan, like Parsons. offered no concrete solutions or ways to curb terrorism in the world, he, also like Parsons, gave those in attendance an eye opener of a presCtllalion. He pulled this off with a thoroughly re. enrched commentary on Alllcri<:un foreign policy and an unflinching look at its subsequent effects.

The la t :speaker was Ac.lnan Habib, a partner with the Baker Newby law firm in Chilliwack. He is a dual citizc11 of the United States and Canada and has been legal advisor to the BC Muslim Association, Canadiun Islamic trust Foundation, Islamic Cooperative Mousing Corporation and many other related organizations.

Wearing a sui1 and black tie, he dove right

into the pool of ideas surrounding September 11th. Specilically addressing the world's recent focus on the faith called Islam. Habib states that the Septernbcr attacks were allegedly done by thosc "call• ing themselves Muslims in order to fulfil Lhe commandments of God " Following this. he clearly stated thut there is no basis in the Islamic faith to support these auacks. Citing verse from the Koran, ", Anyone that kills any person, unless it be a person guilty of murder or treason, Should be looked IJPOII as if hi! had killed all humanity " -Chapter 5 v. 32.

He believes that our response to thcsi! attacks should be based upon principles of justice hy punishing the guilty and by wiping out the rnot causes of terrorism. I le goes on to wnrn u~ against responding with our own brnnd of extremism, noting the recent attacks on Sikh temples and mosques, and the labeling of Ca11adiunsand Americans as unpatriotic based on the fact that they are different. ln~tead or sowing discord bi:twccn coun• tries. (waging war). Habib suggests we need to engage in a clialogue betwecn civilizations about our common humanity. To facilitate this dialogue, n more equitable internalionnl law system must be put in place that docs not favor stronger countries over wcakcr ones. J\s well he argues that we should "tic aid to trade improvements in human rights," and "intervene against governments that take power through undemocratic means."

Out of all the presenters that evening, Adnan Habib's call for a more glohal perspective to address the question of terrorism seemed to be the most reasonable answer. The actions he advocated to combat terrorism all had a cornmon thread linking them together. The importance of eliminating the unequal distribution of power and resources, which block a true dialogue between nations. I think that Adnan Habib would agree that the~e i11equalitiesarc the root problems thfll must be addressed, Until there is an adequntc :-hift to a more global p~n.:eptivc. the threat of to:rrorism will continlH.:tu exist.

/\!right, boys. I am going to ,alk to you about your favourite body part, But T'm not going to tell you if size matters, und I'm not going tu analyze what you do with it and why. I hope you are proud of it regardless or sit.e, shape, colour, abilities, and of course whether you are •· heathed" or not. To be or not to be circumcised. that is the question. While it is a common practice in Judaism and Islam, I am not addressing cir. cumcision for the sake of religion. I am talking about the other reasons newborn boys arc subjected to this unnecess.1ry procedure. Why are almost 80% of North American males walking around without foreskin'! J\nd why are some people, both women and men, buying into th(: myth that a circumcised penis is "normal"?

During my enrly teenage yeurs, before I had even seen a real live penis. r was asking various guy acqunintunces, "Arc you circumcised'?" I thought it was quite a shocking thing lo say and I loved 10 watch as they wnuld squirm in their white Guessjeans. Wanting to scc111"norm.1I". the answer was usually "of course I'm circumcised. isn't every guy?''

Unfortunately, yes. in North American socicty there Is an obsession with thc cin.:umcised peni,. The statistics are put;,fing: only 20% of thc mules on this planet are circumcbed. while a whopping 80% nl North A1i1cricnns have had their toques removed forever. What freakin' coLlc of "normulcy'' are we following'! The fact is this: it', not neccs ary. Do ynu know anything about the foreskin bei-ides the fact thnt some guys have it and some don't'! 1--lowabout that the foreskin contains thousands of highly sensitive sensory receptors called Meissner corpuscles? (Don't you love the word cQrpuscles'? Why would you want tu get rid of them'?) The foreskin hns 20,000 nerve endings which account for one third of the penis' sexual perceptivi1y: it protects your ultrnsensitive head. and bu~icully gives you morc sexual pleasure and if there's one thing every guy would agree 011, it's that more sexual pleasure is n goor.l thing.

Of Cl>urse,you had no say when you were born if yuu wuuld go under the knife, which is u shame, I think most newborns, if they could talk, would not suy, "Oh. yes! Please take that scalpel and slice away at iny most sensitive ureajust so r can look like daddy!"

More likely, they would lill their diupers in terror shouting "don ·1 you dare come near me with that thing, you self-righteou:. sadist!"

Yet the cycle of circu111cisinnhus been repeated generation after generation. The need lo look ''ju~l like cvcryone else'', tlH.: false bdief that it is cleaner, and just plain ignorance on tile part of moms, perpetuates its practice. I think more women are aware now

you Jo thnt. too?

that 11'snot necessary, und I hope all you women who plan to huvc children one day will research this. Think wisely for your mule chit drcn before consenting le) circumcision; ju:.t bccau:,e your husband hus a c;ircut11c;iscdpc;nis - and that's what you think a penis shnuId look Ii ke dnei- not 111enn your snn should be clippeu anc.J snipped ton. Jn fni.:I. v.hcn I clid an informal survey nf 1he males I know. and 1 asked them tn explain their c:in.:u1m:i~cdm~mhcr,, the nverwhelnting nn~wer wa,. "well. because my dad is." J\nd likely. they too will blindly cairy 011 the family traditilll1 because that's what has been done before. And if the family tradition was 111axe a pinky or shavi! off a nipple:. would

I guess it's eviLlem now thnl I um pro-f'ot'eskin. I think it is a wonderful thing and I hope no hooded guy is walking arnuncl today wishing he were circumcised, Re prond of your foreskin! It is thc mighty protector - to observe it); abilities is just so compel Ii ng. If you' vc never seen the way an erect penis emerges from that sheath. growing like a grun<l tower as it exposes its beautiful bulbous head, or the way it slowly shrinks its way back into its protective shell like a shy li11lc one-eyed 111nn,then you havcn't seen C)neof the most fascinating thing~ that tht: rnun·s body can do. And to all you guys who arc c:ircurnciscd, well, love your penis just as much. as 1'111sure you do anyway. I just hope you think twice if you are faced with the decision 10circumcise your C)wnchild.

Think l'or yourselves pcople. I think the greatest ability in life is lo have un open mind. This means nol judging pcoplc for the things they were born with. Nuture must have given n1alcs a f"ori!skin for a reason. When I asked one circumcised male friend what he thought of natural penises. he snid. "They're gross. They look funny." Oh, is it all ;1boul aesthetics then'? Is that why some women nre going under the knife 10get cos• mctic surgery pel'formc<l on their labia'! Who is selling this standard for what looks good in this ).O~icty? Maybe we l!hould all go nut and get liposuction. implants, get carved am.I sliced until we dnn"l "l1,nk funny" anymorc. 13ulthat's unoth• er article.

What you do with your body is your choice; just remember that when it is time fo,·)'lJII to dr.:cidcwhnt's right for the b11dy of nnothcr, the most loving thing ynll 1:ould do for your new• born liulc boy is to leave his penb alone.

Back when I was four. I was forced to dress up for Halloween. My PreKindergurten clilss was having a Halloween party: 1 eventually got inlcl the spirit and dressed up as u little prim;ess. My older sister Moy was an Indian and my older brother was a pinne. Seconds before the picture was hot I looked nway. I thought I heard someone call my mlme. This photo was ruined because of me. So says my cntirc fornily, ul' course they were just joking but to a four years old it wasn't that funny. I asked my brother about this photo anrJ all he can think about is the fort I let out berore entering the house that night. My brother, ''l t was a ripper fort and lasted about a minute."

When I was six, I dressed up as o swpid bunny und I hakd it. I ran and hic.Jin my classroom so that no one woulJ find me but a pink rabbit with stupid ears is hard tt) miss. And to this day I have no idea what those stupid lluwcrs in my hands arc. Ar<:n't rabbit:. supposed tu hnve two front teeth? I didn't have any, at the time. At least 1 wus warm enough to go out without a jacket in St. Catharines, Ontario.

Some people are able to invest a great deal or time ar1umom:y in their Hallowe'en costumes, l'ully prepare<l to <lress as medieval peasants or aristocracy, mys1icnl creatures or super heroes. But, far more do not have the energy or resources 1ha1 allow for such elaborate outfits. This nwjorily need not dispense with the activities altogether. howcvcr, as there are hundreds of possible costumes that one can create in less than an

hour if necessary,costing little to nothing at all. Just inventory your <1vailableresources, go shopping if ncccssnry, und get cremive.

Obviously, you WHJll 10 take inventory because knowing your available resources can save you time and money. For instance. a trench coat and a hm could be a complete privme eye costume. A lab wa1 is a good beginning for a mad scientist. Sports equipment can turn you into 1he a1hlc1e of your choice. Plain pajamas and u large stuffed animnl can transform you into nn oversi7ed toddler.

The General Manager (GM) will be i11cht1rgc of generating more revenue so 1hesociety's funding shifts from 99% (now) from stude111sfees, to as low as 40% from swdcnt fees and the resl froni other revenue; exp,rnd SUS services for tuJcnls, and more. The GM position i n0t a new idea: universities 1hat have a guod general manager have us liule n 33% from student fees und the rest frun, other revenues.

Sense Field's Tonight and Forever is a fresh allempl al the reality-rock sound Sense Field has been aiming al for years. After a nnme diange, a genre re-oricnta• tion and 2 entry-level rt:eurds in the mid9o·s, it seems that this may be the ,1lbum to give: Sense Field their identity. The album ·s theme examines the reality or the rough road of love and IQSS, The band's sound has always been "Heavily influenced by D.C. hnrdcore and West Coast punk," (Chris Evc:nson, Sc:nsc Field, Guitur) but, although that is still evident in this. their third album, it proves to be an effort lO distini;uish themselves from their genres of inspiration. "Fun Never Ends" bursts forth with a short but intense instrumental feuding into a powerful and evocative punk-ballad. Tracks Two and Three offer softer interludes of soul-insights, preceding the forceful and resonunt altitude of "Beatlc's Song" and, less so of "Emc:rgcncy Exit. The album's lyrical combination of soulful introspection and powerful external imploring lyric:s echo of sincere reflection and deliver an effect that inspires thought and reaction. The corre-

sponding intense mix of somber guitar intervals (Chris Evenwn). dynamic urumbeats. and background synthe6izer put Tot1i[d1tand Forever on the progressive. modern rock and roll map. For those searching for un album Lo go against the grain of the complacent idealisn1, both in librello nnd sound. Sense Field's Trmi8ht and Forever is a must-listen!

COMFORTEAGLEREVIEW CAKE

By - James Clark Universal/ MCA

"l'h~ world has been exposed to all sorts of irrt:vcrent rock and roll for decades. But few gave us irrelevunce as irrelevant as Frank Zappa did. I will now disi.:uss the latest offering from Cake: Comfort Eagle.

Those familiars with cake will nlrt:ady be well nquntinted with their particulnr blend of silliness. '!'heir ongs, although catchy and horny, have always had some im:redibly nonsensical lyrics. Of course these lyrics nre only slightly less silly than our garden-variety rock. The Eagle however is a slight departure: from this trend, in songs

like "Symphony in C" and "Shol't Skirt. Long facket". I can vaguely discern some kind of ml.lssagebut it's still u silly cmc.

Cake music has also grown a lit1le less eclectic and is now bordering on garage band funk. I suppose that one can only make fun of the mainstream until one joins it.

THE1NFAMOU$ PEN REVIEW

by - James Clo, k

One of the crnziest movies of the last year that no one watched deserve~ a second look on video. Me111e1110,Christopher Nolan's crime thriller nbout an absent-minded avenger is the climax of the evolution of those geeky cut and paste art movies that came along ancr Pulp Fiction. You will need the second look, stop. rewind and then a third to rl·ally get the l'ull picture, Actually, since this movic is told back to frnnt rewint.1 is a pretty gootl idea.

Imagine not remembering the first line of this article. yes I know my writing is easily forgettablr•. ''Lenny" (Guy Pearce) has just that problem. The last memory that he has is of his wife's murder and his "incident'', Since then he hasn't been able w generntc new memories. The only way he elln keep his past alive and focus on his goals is to tattoo no11.:s10 himself' t1tross his body. Sworn tu fi11dhis wil\:'s killer, he hus trnckcd llown John G. nr was it .lun1es· 1 Along the name he meets up with •·N;:itnlie" (Carrie-Anne Moss) who is either helping or using him. and Teddy. or is he John G?

This movic is not just special editing. catchy nnd great acting: you al. o gee to laugh al someone's unusual handicap.

The ren review for this week will be on a Taiwanese Laser pen. The foe! that it was rnadc; in Taiwan makes us all think h must be chenp junk, very trne. Aside from the fac,;tthat its writing can be bent by a 49 cent Die pen, the batteries Me near impossible lo llnd in Canada. The pen also comes with numerous detachable lenses that change the shape of the lasers into stars, butterflies and other such useless things. Why people thought it would be useful nr fun to hHvt H portable light butterfly I just don't know. These pens became popular for about a wt!ek in the early 90's, now they j11s1make you wont to hit those annoying people who have them.

For a hcari-stopping, horrificd-scream"cvnking, nonSlllp thriller, John Dahl's Joyride is the movie rccom• mendation of the week. Released Octoher 5th. 2001, after several delays nnd postponements, it is worth the more Ihn11the yeHrlong wuil. Paul Walker pluys Lewis Thomas, a college sllldent llriving across the cow1Iry to pick up his romantic interest "Venna·• (Lcelee Sobieski) from her college for a rnad-trip lrornc. Alo11g the wuy Thomas retrieves his mischievous older brother, ''Fuller" (Steve :lalm) who goads Thomas into playing a CB-radio prnnk on a lonely trucker. What neither of

them counted on i!- the extent lo which the truckcr, known only by his CB-code name. Rusty Nnil, will gn for reven1,:con thc threesome. He jeopardizes the eludei.J romantic hopes and expectations of Lewis und Venna and their hnpes for a carefree adventure whihi irnpcriling the safi.:ty and live nil three for the vengeance of a sµini:-chilling voice. Although, :.ornewhut preJictuble in theme and premise, Joyride is packed with edge-ofyour-seat suspense und shock 1ha1lcnve:, you nail biting through to the final scene. My only thumbs down is it'~ abrupt and seemingly incomplete "sequel-ready" ending; however. it's not the conclusion the viewer expects. so I won't spoil it for you.

A HOP, A SKIP, A JUMP,ANDA STUMBLE

ff 11rstimpression~ arc uny indications or future relations, then the UCFV CascaJc~ have this season in the bag. In their first encounters on till· court. both the women and the men claimed lirst plucc.:at the.: Capilano Blues lnvitatinnnl Tournnn1cnt on Octllber 5- 7 with 11n111aIchedsweep of 3-0, The men follow.eel that ur with a scrimmage* against the UBC' ThunJerbirds at Ul3C, anu the women nn exhibition game against Langaru. in Vunrnuvcr on the I Ith. Both teams had a intc.:r-lcaugc date with the SFU Clan on O1,;tobcr 12th. which tinishcd with both the men uncl women going home with the smaller share or the poims. The.: men kept the Clan in close check most or the game. but lost their edge in the ecom.l half to lose 90- 77, The women, dominmcd from the jump ball by the stronger members of the Clnn, never picked up and lost u heart-wrenching 98-27. And while rnost would cringe ,ind say the tc.:ainhad lots to work oil, UCFV Athletic Dircewr had only 10 say thnt she "didn't expect the teams LO win". hut felt "it's good pra1,;tice."

Regardless of the exhibition results. both teams look forward to promising seasons within their own lc.:aguc.

Thc.:UCFV Cascades

Buth u.:amshave a balance ol' hard veterans and rookies. ,naking them strung con• lc.:nJcrsfor provincial and national medals. Here's the breakdown

Women:

After their silver medal at the CCAA National tournament in Calgary last year. there have been a few changes to the women's roster. Gone are would be 4th year player Rachel Peters, who graduated her program in June and have since moved on from basketball, Annie Krygsvcld, Nicole Hill, and Amelia Sandoe. Filling thc.: gaps arc some recognizable names in term of Indies high school basketball. Jamie Born, cousin of current tean, member Cassie Born. joins the team frorn Sardis

We would like to give a special welcome back to Tanya Campbell, who return to the noor this season after an unl'or1una11~lln-court accident at the beginning of last season which benched her for the rst ol' the season.

Coach Sandy Chambers is back in her I 0th year as head coach of the cascades and Assistant coach Carolyne Martinez is hack in her second season. Returning manager Lynds:.iy Byle ancl trainer Takaaki (Taki) Niwa corn• plcte the team.

Men:

A disappoinIing 3rd pluce finish in the province held back a dearly superior tc.:am from the NaIinnal Tournament lu:-t season. Noncthcless, wiIh most of th~ MlntC players an<l u ft:w new recruits, Ihi~ year's team looks wnngcr than ever. Missing from the roster will hi.! veternn Jamie Arrnslrnng, Sc:.inHnrner, Mark Turner.

Local tulent i.s thc.:name.:of the game, and with p! ycrs like Kyle Morton (Brookswnnd Secondary. Langky), Matt Turner (MEI, but lived in Mission), and high scho1JIstar Mutt 'l'heis~en (Rick Hansen Secondary, /\bborsfon.J}, the team looks bc.:lter than ever. Mike Lee, SOilof Coach Pat Lee, hopes to make the team in lime for the scond half or the season, and Aaron Wells. although on the roster, will be sitting out the first few games of the prc-sc.:asondue to treatment for a knee problem.

From the rumor mill: There are ruInnrs of AllCanadian Wayne Jones retuning for the second half ot the sc::ion in Febrnory. We'll have to wait and sec.

Pal Lee returns in his 7th year as head coach. and Tom Anti! remain Assistant Coach for another year. Both have high expectations for the men, and all look forward to an excellent showing by both leams.

Exhibition: a game played in regular format (2 twenty• minute halves or 4 ten- minute quarters) where a ~core it kept.
