the Ubyssey Birds win again, page 8 A Trojan Special Free condoms for all By KINGA KRISTON The Trojan horse came to the AMS barbeque Friday but it was filled with condoms, not soldiers. As part of a publicity stunt to promote AIDS awareness, several students dressed as gladiators threw 10,000 condoms and AIDS pamphlets from a truck built into a huge horse. "Not everyone is going to go to a lecture about safe sex but a lot of people go to a barbeque, so this is a good way to get to any unaware people," said AMS director of administration Tim Bird, one of the horse's masterminds. The condoms, not surprisingly, were Trojans: "Only the best for UBC students? said Bird. Most of the students at the barbeque reacted favorably to the stunt, agreeing with Bird that it was a funny and clever way to bring safe sex into the open. But not all barbeque participants were amused. "They are insulting these peole's intelligence...I think everyone here is aware of the disease," said one woman who wanted to be identified as Patricia. "Everyone knows where to buy them if they really want them," she said. The awareness exercise cost $1,450 of AMS funds. "We tried to get a donation from companies but they refused? said finance director Don Isaak, another of the horse's creators. But Bird said the stunt was not too expensive. "We got the next best deal on condoms at fourteen cents each instead of the nineteen cents wholesale." "It's hard to put a price on an awareness stunt. Many people entering the university are often uneducated and sheltered about safe sex and it's the responsibility of older students to educate them," Bird said. "You have to approach different people in different ways, and many of the people at the barbeq ue appreciated the humor. The people who would have negative views about this are not the people we were trying to reach." "If even one out of twenty people read the literature then it will have been worth it," said Bird. K.D. LANG HAS that twang steva chan photo TIM BIRD IN past life as Greek warrior J. lyaN photo Conference draws fire from students By ROSS McLAREN The anti-apartheid group at UBC has withdrawn their endorsement of the Parallel Commonwealth Conference and other student anti-apartheid groups may follow. The UBC Students for a Free Southern Africa objects that the African National Congress and the South West Africa Peoples Organization were the only African liberation movements invited to speak at the National Conference closing meeting. Other liberation movements, including the Pan Africanist Congress, the Black Consciousness Movement, and the South West African National Union, were Vol. 70, No. 3 denied that privilege. "The decision to invite the ANC and SWAPO was a racist one because it gives the impression that South Africans support one liberation movement," said Michael Moeti, UBC SFSA member. "It undermines the right of people to decide freely what sort of government they want in S.A.," Moeti said. But John Graham of Oxfam disagrees. "It is clear that the ANC and SWAPO are legitimate representatives. Only people from rival groups (in South Africa) do not see that," he said. "Some groups are working with Michael (Moeti) against the conference but it will have no impact." "These guys don't represent broad groups of people. These groups formed themselves to speak" for the individuals, said Graham. Although the UBC SFSA will not boycott the conference, other student anti-apartheid groups will decide in the coming weeks whether or not to participate. Bethuel Mujetenga, president of the B.C. Student Coalition Against Apartheid, said that "several anti-apartheid groups are prepared to take serious action — either by boycotting the conference or protesting at the conference itself." Mujetenga refused to identify these groups but said they had approached the B.C. SCAA to boycott the conference and he said that the B.C. SCAA would decide on a course of action September 22. The student anti-apartheid groups are angry at the Canadian Council for International Cooperation because it was their decision, later approved by the Anti-Apartheid Network, to invite only the ANC and SWAPO. Although the AAN co-sponsors the conference, the CCIC contributed $100,000 and had exclusive control over the National Conference's program. According to John Weir, B.C. Federation of Labor representative on the AAN, "the one who pays the shot has more to say." But Moeti said that the conference is illegal because a nonprofit agency organized a partisan conference with government money. "If I decided to take legal action against the CCIC, I have no doubt I'd win because the CCIC has violated the spirit of their constitution," said Moeti. The conference is to be amajor media event to promote the anti- apartheid movement in Canada. Speakers at the conference will include Kenneth Kaunda, president of the Organization of African Unity, Alan Boesak, chair United Democratic Front, and Robert Mugabe, president of Zimbabwe.

Burnaby, B.C. Hfi 299-5794 ™™ Two makes one By MICHAEL SMART The AMS Students' Council resolved last week to "express concern" over current proposals to divide Point Grey riding in two. Although the motion did not mention political parties, AMS External Affairs Coordinator Caroline Rigg said that it is directed at the recommendations of the local Social Credit riding association, which would lump UBC residence students with voters in the affluent Dunbar and Kerrisdale neighbourhoods, and separate them from other students living in the Kitsilano area. Rigg supports instead the proposal of Point Grey New Democrats, which would include the UBC residences with voters in Kitsilano and the northern half of the present riding. "The NDP proposal makes most sense to me," Rigg said. "We assume there are a lot of students living in Kits — those people should be voting for the same candidates as students at UBC." The two party's proposals were presented to the Royal Commission on Election Bounda* ries during August. The commission has been mandated by the provincial government to split in two Point Grey and all other dual- member ridings in British Columbia. Council member Byron Berry, who seconded the motion in council, expressed pessimism about influencing the final decision on Point Grey's boundaries. He suggested the royal commission, which isa quasi-judicial body autonomous from the government, will likely be biased toward the governing Socred party, and would therefore draw the boundaries to undermine the electoral voice of students. "The commission is not what you would call independent," Berry said. "The Socreds lost a seat in Point Grey in the last election, and they'll do whatever it can to get it back." Rigg said the AMS would attempt to influence the decision by lobbying Point Grey's two sitting MLAs, Socred Kim Campbell and New Democrat Darlene Marzari. She is also considering submitting a brief to the royal commission, she said.

BOOKSTORE ByMARY McALISTER Three delegates to last month's YWCA World Council meeting presented their views on "development with justice" at a reception held at the Vancouver YWCA Thursday night. "We don't want what is called Band Aid, we want aid that will help solve the root cause of the problems? said Kate Parks, Council delegate from Ghana. Some of the most serious of these problems were described by a delegate from South Africa who will be called Margaret. Her real name cannot be used for fear of government recriminations upon her return. The YWCA in her township decided to take action against the number of children who are being detained in South Africa. "Our estimate is 25,000 children. We embarked on a campaign called 'Free the Children'" she said. They produced t-shirts and stickers and began educating people in the townships. "But then the government banned the t- shirts so that they couldn't be worn" she said. The campaign and the money invested in it was lost after the government prohibited discussion of the detention of children. . Margaret herself is in danger of being detained when she returns. "The State of Emergency means you can be taken at any time if the government suspects you of being an activist. They will take you and keep you in detention for maybe four or six months without a lawyer or an explanation" she said. Margaret brought a strong recommendation to the Council to support international sanctions against South Africa. "We become very bitter at countries like Britain and the United States who have a lot of invest ment in South Africa (and don't want to divest)," she said. "We are not going to suffer from sanctions and disinvestment from South Africa. We are already dead so you can't kill a dead person." Margaret endorsed sanctions as the only peaceful way to promote change in South Africa, but she sugested that young blacks in South Africa no longer have the patience for these methods. "The youth are prepared to die and they are using stones to fight against the guns," she said. All three women were optimistic about the outcome of the Council Meeting. Pauline Mackay, a delegate from New Zealand, said Networking was the most beneficial part of the Council. She described how a Native Canadian delegate and an indigenous woman from New Zealand, met at the Council and shared many concerns that they di- covered they had in common. "The big myth in New Zealand is that they have the greatest race relations in the world," said Mackay. Her local YWCA is part of a movement to encourage a closer analysis of New Zealand's colonial history. Elate Parks described how the five priorities at the conference - health, environment, peace, human rights, and refugees - are all linked together with economic development. "In Ghana, our development is linked up with the whole world," said Parks. The price of cocoa, Ghana's main product, is determined by the world market so the economic impact is out of the hands of the Ghanians. "We cannot run away from the fact that economic development is tied up with personal development," Parks said. i ; i'.v F*"*4 RACCOON JUMBO DAYPACK An extra large daypack with full length two-way zipper opening, three zippered outside pockets. 8 oz.

AMS vice president Jody Woodland said the vote had to be held in conjunction with the barbecue because ten per cent of the active members of the society must be present in order to amend the constitution. "If I held a Special General Meeting by itself nobody would come," said Woodland. The changes were "basically innocuous and dull," said Woodland. "The only significant amendment was one that I hope no one would, argue with - that was enshrining the AMS student bursary fund in the constitution and by-laws." "I suppose (the practice of hold ing a vote at a party) has potential for abuse - certainly I could have been more thorough in advertising it," said Woodland. But he thinks the vote was fair. "There was notice of the meeting given and there was enough time for those interested to read the posted amendments" since they were posted at the end of August, he said. When asked why the amendments were not read aloud before the vote, Woodland said, "it would have taken 12-15 minutes to read the six pages of amendments and it would have turned into a joke, illiciting boos and hisses (from the students)."

We danced a lot, drank a lot, and had a rollicking good time. But a lot of people left the party muttering about having voted for some amendments they knew nothing about. It's too bad the AMS didn't take more time to think about it because the idea was really rather good. It was one of the few ways to reach quorum on minor constitutional changes. No student would turn out to vote on the rewording of bylaw 999.75. And the constitution did need some cleaning. The motions that passed will make the constitution more readable and therefore more accessible to students. And those who claim that democracy was further battered by not having the motions read aloud are kidding themselves. To expect people to vote knowledgeably on motions yelled over a microphone for 15 minutes is ludicrous. More likely Jody Woodland would have been yanked off the stage. The motives behind the AMS actions were probably pure, but their method weren't. A minimum of poorly distributed posters and miserable advertisingleft the AMS open to charges of undemocratic action. Few people at the concrt knew there was going to be a vote, and few noticed the lists of resolutions tacked inconspicuously to the fence. It looked a lot like Council was trying to pull a fast one on the students without anyone noticing. As it turned out, the resolutions dealt with fairly insignificant "housekeeping" motions, making small changes to the wording of some of the bylaws. But for all anyone knew the motion was to impeach the entire council. It's a scary idea.

The roles are all competently performed and believable. One weakness in the work is Skateboard, who was less well defined than the other characters. Also, there were enough instances when the house was totally dark that in the final blackout, the audience didn't know the play had ended. These two points aside, Eliot in Purgatory is worthy of a viewing. DELIGHTFUL PURGATORY By KATHY CHUNG A bureaucratic doctor and a cop chase after John Lennon for writing graffitti on the walls of a subway. Meanwhile, T.S. Eliot trades insults with Hamlet, whom he had once criticized in an essay. They engage in a duel with swords. Later on, they are joined by John Lennon, who challenges Eliot to a poetry contest. A young woman called Skateboard is enlisted to help Hamlet judge the poems. Are we in purgatory or underground in a post-nuclear Vancouver? Who will win the poetry contest? Will our four intrepid friends triumph over the forces of authority and find an exit from this strange netherland? This is Eliot in Purgatory, a play which is a mixture of comedy and commentary. Playful jabs and pokes are aimed at: nuclear arms, popular music (and a certain popular musical), the mindlessness of bureaucracy and famous persons. It is fun and delightful; alkthe more so because most of us, especially students, are emminently To fringe or not to fringe AUGUST 19 TUITION WAIVERS - A FESTERING SORE Calling tuition waivers for faculty offspring "grossly unfair," graduate representative Kurt Prein- spurg urged fellow council members to voice their protest during the council meeting of August 19. Council voted to circulate a petition during the month of September which called for faculty and administration to "reconsider the issue of tuition waivers for faculty offspring." Tuition waivers were part of a wage agreement package passed this summer. THE BOTTOMLESS POCKET Director of finance Don Isaak was authorized to spend another $10,000 on a PMT camera "to augment the current Desk Top Publishing equipment." Isaak said the switch-over to in-house publishing equipment will save the AMS over $60,000 this year. Running tally of money spent to date: $46,000. EQUITY In an effort to bring honoraria levels at UBC in line with those at other colleges and universities across the country, council directed budget committee to under take a review of all levels of honoraria and present their findings as part of their budget proposal at the jnext council meeting. SEPTEMBER 9 'COUNCIL JAMS OUT Council decided to "voice its concern" rather than take positive action on a motion which might divide the university vote. A motion forwarded by UBC student Freyja Bergthorson which suggested alternative boundaries for the Point Grey riding was toned down to read "that Students Council voice its concern with the Point Grey riding with regards to the proposed division and its apparent splitting up of the student electorate." Graduate representative Phil Bennet said the division of boundaries was dividing the vote of people with "student-like" concerns, but council wanted more information before supporting the motion wholeheartedly. MORE JOBS UBC may soon become part of a national student employment network if the federal government commits funding to a computer system at the University of Saskatchewan. Last week the University of Saskatchewan asked Council to include UBC on a list of schools interested in a system which could match up students and employers across the country and help battle regional isolation. Start-up costs are being sought from the government and operation costs would be paid by participating colleges and universities.

Ballyhooed to be a running game because of the U.S. ruleslfour downs), the first Shrum Bowl in five years was anything but that for an air-inclined UBC team. Both teams opened their offensive sets with a series of running plays that were stalled by each respective defense. The change in tactics that ultimately decided the game came half way through the first half when head coach Frank Smith shelved the running plays in favor of the pass. "We tried to establish a running game, but we were forced to go to the air more than planned," said the game's most valuable player, Mike Bellafontaine. And go to the air they did. Quarterback Jordan Gagner fired passes with a marksman's preci si on to his trio of wide receivers, Bellafontaine, Todd Wickman, and Craig Keller. Gagner threw inside routes, outside routes, and the long ball to accumulate 215 passing yards - a total that would have been significantly higher were it not for several catches called back after holding infractions and several catchable passes that were dropped. The first UBC touchdown came late in the second quarter when running back Mark Petros, the human bulldozer, ploughed through two SFU linemen to score. The touchdown, in combination with superlative first half defence, gave the 'Birds the emotional fire required to carry them through the second half.

Although it was the offence who scored all the points, the UBC defence must be credited for their stingy performance. The Thunderbird defensive line gave up a meagre 38 yards to Orviile Lee and the highly touted Simon Fraser rushing game. Ron Huryn, alone, penetrated the Simon Frazer front line numerous times and registered a game high of three quarterback sacks. And when SFU quarterback Darrvn Trainor did get any lofting ambitions there were the likes of defensive backs Jordan Leith and Terry Ai nge to deny the passes. The UBC defence limited SFU to a total offence of only 137 yards. The win puts the Thunderbirds at 3 - 0 for the season, and extends their club winning streak to a record 11 consecutive wins. HORSE DIES BY TOM KAWESKI UBC fans' expectations were dashed by the forced dismantling of the fabled Trojan Horse Saturday at the Shrum Bowl. "The police were worried that it might cause a riot," said Tim Bird, AMS director of administration and co-creator of the quadriped. The Horse, which first appeared at the AMS barbecue distributing free condoms, was brought to Swangard Stadium to excite spectators. "We had really big plans of going in with this big Trojan Horse...and driving (it) around the stadium," said Bird. Bird and his partner Don Isaak, AIMS director of finance, arrived at the gate with their creation only to be met by unenthused police, who ordered it destroyed. The RCMP were afraid that the presence of the Horse, standing 30 feet tall, might so inflame the SFU fans that they "would come running from the stands to try to tear it down" said Bird. Bird protested that they brought it only to get school spirit off the ground for the coming year. Isaak and Bird spent the next hour and a half dismantling their creation which took them a week and a half of twelve-hour days to erect. "We didn't even get to watch the game till the last few minutes? said Bird.
