theUbysiy TUESDAY 26 OCTOBER, 1993 A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE CANADIAN UNIVERSITY PRESS VOLUME 76. ISSUE 12 FINDING WALDO IN MY PANTS SINCE 1918 Liberal landslide leaves losers lollygagging Campbell crushed, Chretien crowned, McLaughlin minimized, Manning miraculous, Bouchard buoyant, Hurtig hushed by Rick Hiebert, Mike Kitchen and Tessa Moon Ted McWhinney cruised to an easy 57 percent victory in Vancouver Quadra as a Liberal steamroller crushed the Tories in last nighf s federal election. McWhinney succeeds John Turner as the MP for UBCs federal riding. Until his election, McWhinney was a political science professor at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby. He is an obvious frontrunner for the constitutional affairs ministry. The riding has been solidly Liberal since 1984 and McWhinney had lots of help last night from voters on campus. According to the results, McWhinney easily carried all the polls on campus. UBCs new MP will be one of 177 Liberals forming a Liberal majority government. The Bloc Quebecois came next with 54 and may form the official opposition. The Reform party swept western Canada with 52 seats. The NDP held on with nine seats and the Progressive Conser- /atdve caucus will consist of two MPs, the lowest in party history. McWhinney was unavailable for comment last night, but Tracy Golub,presidentofthe UBC Young Liberals, was understandably elated. "We were really well organized. We brought McWhinney out and got students to see and meet him," Golub said. "He's an academic. He lives in the riding and understands what students are going through being an SFU professor," she said. "I really think that hell be looking out for us." Meanwhile, at the Kim Campbell "victory celebrations" downtown, Tories were drowning their sorrows. It was quiet and sombre. The Tories gave up a brave cheer of "Kim Kim Kim" before their leader mounted the platform to speak. "Canadian democracy has spo- o_Ug Q-HI MA CHIA-NIEN PHOTO ken loudly and clearly. I have received their judgement with disappointment, but without reservation," Campbell said. "I share with my colleagues the disappointment with tonight's results," she said. "I believe profoundly in the principles and future of our party- We begin the process of renewal and rebuilding. "Success was not ours tonight, but it can be ours tomorrow. There are many Canadians who look to us to articulate their vision of our country. "The Conservative party is an important force. Our day in the sun will come again, that I promise you! Consider yourselves hugged," she concluded. The head of the UBC Young Tories, Mark Mcwhinney, was one unhappy camper. "I'm really disappointed. Kim really represented change. The Tories had a whole new slate of candidates. She came out and said we're not going to have unemployment down until the year 2000. That's true. Deficit reduction should take priority. "Jean Chretien did not let the public know the whole truth. At least Campbell is honest," he said. Christian ministry zealots shaft The OK Phoenix bv Taivo Evard W _ _ _ ... „ ... ......... by Taivo Evard Okanagan University College's (OUC) student newspaper, The Phoenix, has been forced to operate with all but $1 of their 1993 student funding thanks to the zealousness of the University Christian Ministry. At the OUC Student Association Annual General Meeting (AGM) last May, both The Phoenix and OUC radio station's budgets were reduced to $1 apiece. Traditionally a poorly attended meeting, the UCM stackedthe AGM and put forth and passed a motion to all but eliminate the budgets. The UCM, a long-time opponent of The Phoenix, was inflamed after seeing the pink triangle issue—which concerns various expressions of sexuality. However, council members on the student association are "friendly for the most part to the idea ofthe paper," said managing editor Mitch Cooper, "and what they've done is cement media on campus institutionally" by creat- Martlet soars into financial autonomy by Taivo Evard After running unsuccessfully for autonomy over the past twelve years, University of Victoria's The Martlet finally achieved financial autonomy in their mi d-October student referendum. The Martlet's co-editor Dave Clements commented on past referenda, "usually voter turnout is really low...but people turned out in droves to turn us down." Commenting on The Martlet's most recent autonomy effort, Clements said that "it was weird." The Martlet's planned referendum autonomy drive was abandoned earlier this term after an offer from the Students Union (SU) to include the autonomy question, as well as funding increases for certain society groups, in an amalgamated SU student-levy increase proposal of $8.50 per semester. The SU has been experiencing financial difficulties, and Clements believes that the SU tacitly silenced key student society groups, like the student paper, to curtail opposition to the fee increase by includ- ingi'undingincreasesfor these student groups in the proposal. "In a sense, we were bought off by the student society," Clements said. While Clementsadmittedthat their autonomy success can likely be attributed to the combined referendum proposal, he lamented that "we weren't as critical as possible [in addressing the issue ofthe fee increase]. We gave air time to opposition...but fortunately there was no official 'no' side rep." He pointed out that most students are aware that the SU is in dire financial shape, and that opposing the referendum would have only hurt the society. The Martlet has had editorial autonomy for five years, and receives a student levy of $2.75 per semester from a full-time equivalent of 12-13,000 students. Mathew Martin: he's our man, if he can't. by Sara Martin Mayoral candidate and ex- Ubyssey staffer Matthew Martin turned offhis Monday morning cartoons to be interviewed by The Ubyssey. Martin, the only openly gay candidate ofthe 23 candidates running for mayor, first decided to run for mayor because he thought it would be fun; "because it was there and because I can," he said. "Then I thought I could make some issues, gay and lesbian issues, and that city hall is the wrong color. It should be pink," Martin said. Martin believes schools should be more active in i ssues such as gay andlesbian awareness and safe sex education. "Lots of work has to done in schools, such as condoms in bath rooms and safe sex education," Martin said. He would also require school councillors to have "sensitivity training on LGB [lesbian gay bisexual] issues." Martin stresses the need for more HIV education in the heterosexual community, stating that "it's now heterosexual women who are most at risk." As part of his go-green plan, Martin said he would convert the downtown core to pedestrians only, increase public transit, discourage single car occupancy, increase levies on taxes for road use and improve and increase bike paths both for recreation and commuter purposes. Martin also offered solutions for the "big problem" of social housing which includes rent caps, ten ants taking part in housing maintenance, and encouraging developers to build affordable housing through zoning. Martin sees policing as a "major important issue" and claims Vancouver needs more "proactive rather than reactive policing." "Reactive police reacts to a crime while proactive police are visible and active within the com- muriity,"Martinsaid. He explained that having police visible on the streets, especially in the west end, will act as a deterrent whereas right now police are active only after a crime by answering 911 calls. "Reactive is like a band-aid while proactive is prevention. It's like taking vitamins before you get a cold instead of after," said Martin. Martin, who worked at the Ubyssey 91-93, is now a waiter at the "glamorous" Rock Cafe and intends to keephisjob on weekendsif he is elected mayor. ing a student mediafunding group, which includes representatives from council. The media funding group was set up to evaluate applications from student publications and distribute monies. Added to the fall AGM was a motion to finance the media funding group through a student levy of $2.50 per semester. Cooper cited difficulties in maintaining quorum at the AGM, that being one percent of student population, or 50 people, because some students had to go to classes or had previous plans. "Our student population islaid back...almost to the point of being pathetically apathetic," Cooper said. The motion was passed, but unfortunately funding was not maderetroactive,meaningthatThe Phoenix remains financially strapped with no funding until next September. "This makes us very much hinged to interests of our advertisers," said Cooper, as advertising revenue is the paper's only income. The monetary woes have meant the paper "flexes and bends like a reed in the wind." The increased stress associated with the $ 1 budget "makes for a tough situation,"as even incidentals such as office supplies pose a problem. The Phoenix used to be published bi-weekly, but has had to cut back to once a month, if possible. Cooper said that The Phoenix contemplated shelving the paper and starting fresh in September, because "we're never sure there'll be an issue." Closing the paper would entail re-establishing The Phoenix next fall, a difficult task at the best of times. As for the future ofthe paper, Cooper said "we still plan a sexuality issue, actually more of a gender issue, that many won't want to listen to." > THE UBYSSEY Classifieds CLASSIFIEDS TUESDAY 26 OCTOBER 1993 ft ales: AMS card I r — J lines, iJ.lj; additional lines Co cents.

Reform took only one seat in Ontario while the Liberals secured the remaining 98. However, Reform swept the west with 24 out of 32 seats in BC and all but two seats in Alberta. Here's a hint at what the future holds: by Pat Micelli TORONTO (CUP) — A Reform Party candidate was forced to jump ship and abandon his election campaign this week after students exposed his racially offensive opinions. Toronto-area candidate John Beck resigned an hour after angry York University students confronted Reform. Leader Preston Manningatacampus speech, quoting racist remarks that had been attributed to Beck in various newspapers. They think Tm nuts, but Tve had no breakdown. They asked me to resign, so I resigned," Beck told reporters the next day. During the confrontation at York's Osgoode Hall law school, Manning brushed offYork student Alex Ng's initial demand that Reform executive expel Beck from the party for telling the Financial Post he felt like a member of a minority because he spoke English. But third-year law student Cindy Lauer presented more damning evidence from an interview with York's student paper Excalibur, which had hit the stands that morn ing. "You said Reform policy on immigration is non-racist. How would you respond to the following quotes?" Lauer asked Manning before reading out Beck's comments. In the interview, Beck responded to Excalibur reporters' questions about his views on native self-governmentby saying: "We came here and took their land from them. I feel that's what [immigrants] are doing to us... they will overpower us. "Look at the Natives, they're very messed up. That's what's hap- peningtous. We're all beinghooked on booze and drugs and we're goi ng to end up just like the Indians." He also said some immigrants are bringing "death and destruction to the people." Manning said the statements were inconsistent with Reform Party policy, but withheld his judgment of Beck, saying the press was not always trustworthy. However, news spread quickly that Excalibur had the interview taped, andan hour later Beck pulled out ofthe race amidst nation-wide controversy. Lauer said she was surprised it happened so fast and got so much publicity. "I thought, OK, maybe it'll make the insi de pages in a local newspaper—I didn'texpect it to be the first item on prime-time news." Excalibur's news editor Sheldon Ford, one ofthe students who interviewed Beck, was also taken off guard. Mayoral smorgasbord by Bob Main After 25 October the next big decision for the people of Vancouver, including many UBC students, is the 20 November civic election. Libby Davies, Phillip Owen, Bob Seeman and 20 others have declared themselves candi dates for a mayoral election that could have alargerimpactonthedaily lives of Vancouver resi dents than the federal election. Bob Seeman wants to get civic politics away from the party affiliations which he believes stagnate decision making. He wants city hall to be a place for quick catalyst decisions based on organization and logic rather than on polarized party lines. Libby Davies sees a Cope (Coalition of progressive electors) majority as enough of a change from the Non-Partisan Association dominated council "to ensure that Vancouver stays livable and doesn't become smog city." Establishing bike, bus and carpool lanes is a priority for both Davies and Seeman. Phillip Owenlooksatchanges from present policy with skepticism. He wants to know where the money will come from for the lanes and said to "ask Libby about bus lanes in Marpole," which he opposes. "Why should we put in a lane that helps Richmond commuters when the merchants on Granville street need the lanes for parking?", Owen said. "Bullshit! That's absolute bullshit!", Davies responded. "The lane is for Vancouver commuters on the second busiest bus line in the city: the Gran ville/Victoria. The lane was thrown out because a few merchants on one side ofthe street would lose 30 parking spaces for a couple hours a day. Some of them have parking in the back and the large Safeway lot is right there." Davies also said that she feels Owen's insensitivity to other parts to the lower mai nland—in this case Richmond—is cause for concern and typical of politicians who are only worried about their political lives. "I think he doesn't give two hoots about these regional issues. I am very commi tted to them." She is a member of the GVRD and the Transit Commision—a combination she believes could be rewarding for the entire lower mainland. Davies fears that the denial of the lane on Granville could start a trend which would make it much harder to put lanes in elsewhere, such as Broadway, a 50,000 people per day route which includes a heavy load to UBC. The merchants on Broadway and 10th avenues will have the same complaints as the Granville merchants, but there are more of them. She is worried that if council backed down to 30 merchantsit will immediately back down to a higher number. Seeman is fan of rapid transit first to Coquitlam and then to Richmond, believing that the future numbers will warrant the lines. He favours the Cambie route over Arbutus for the Richmond line and proposesre zoning the adjacent land to fund it. Owen wants to know whether Seeman has spoken with the line's potential neighbors to see whether they want the line there and whether they want their land re zoned. Davies would like to see as much done with buses as possible before committi ng to having a transit line putin anywhere. She added that "unfortunately some people will not take a bus. Rapid transit is the Cadillac of commuting and may be necessary to get certain people out of their single occupancy vehicles," Davies said. Seeman wants to see a lot of "I was surprised he would say such blatantly racist statements, knowing that he was being taped. I assumed he was going to get into trouble or try to deny it, but I di dn't expect it to blow up this big," he said. Reform Party members are eager to distance themselves from Beck's views. When asked if the protesters were justified in their actions, University of Toronto's Reform party president Daniel Proussalidis said they were. "I'm glad they did it. I don't want him." "His opinions simply don't jive with the party or its policy," he added. Proussalidis said Beck slipped through because he didn't let on about his views until recently. "He had never made any mention beforehand that he had such wacko ideas. We don't want to be used that way." Beck is not the only questionable candidate the party has had to purge. In April, the party nullified former Tory MP John Gamble's nomination as a Toronto-area Reform candidate because ofunspeci- fied right-wing views and his dealings with controversial teacher Paul Fromm" who wasbeinginves- tigated by education officials for links to neo-Nazi groups, according to a Canadian Press article at the time. Members ofthe Toronto-based racist group Heritage Front endorsed Gamble at the nomination meeting, although Gamble said in the article that he had never met their leader, Wolfgang Droege, before he showed up at the meeting. And a recent Globe and Mail article features Reform candidates presently running "who have dabbled with western separatism, others who believe it would be best if women stayed home to look after their children, and others who think immigrants are a drain on society." Critics say it reflects badly on the party that it attracts such candidates. "[The party] is not going to come out and say they're racist. Yet they're tapping into racist undercurrents that exist in certain segments of our society," said Ng. Yorkstudentcouncil president Jeff Zoeller, who helped organize the protest, said that Beck's resignation and the publicity surrounding it is "the most amazing win we've had in a long time. It's great that such a small group of students could affect a national election." Writers berate Customs censors by Christopher Taylor MONTREAL (CUP) — In a rare move against a western industrialized nation, the International PEN writer's union has condemned the seizure of books by Canada Customs as a serious violation of the right to free speech. Passed at PEN'S 60th International Congress in September in Galicia, Spain, the resolution not only criticizes Canada Customs' actions, but also "calls on the government of Canada to dismantle the system which permits such seizures to take place." "I wish it meant we were goi ng to see some real changes," said Nancy Flemming ofthe Book and Periodical Council of Canada. "As it is, it means we are embarrassed in front ofthe world." The resolution on behalf of PEN's 12,000 members comes after seven years in which the government has stepped up border seizures of works considered obscene. In that time, Canada Customs has detained a prodigious 5000 books a nd periodicals, largely destined for gay and lesbian bookstores. Following on their distinguished tradition ofbanning James Joyce and D.H. Lawrence, Canada Customshas recently held up books by such figures as pro-censorship feminist Andrea Dworkin and femi - nist academic bell hooks. The consequences of the detentions—whose destinations have included such dens of sin as the University of Waterloo bookstore rezoning. He believes that the "illegal suite problem" could be solved by simply making illegal suites legal and either bringing them up to code or relaxing the code. Owen wants Seeman to know that council has been legalizing suites for a couple of years and would continue to do so if he wins. and Le Dernier Mot, a highbrow bookshop in Montreal—are manifold. "Any small publishing companies or distributors—gay and lesbian, feminist, new age—are hard- pressed," said Jackie Manthome, executive director of PEN Canada. She cited the case of Inland Books in New Haven, Connecticut, whose detained shipments in May, at 470 kilograms, represented one ofthe largest detentions in the history of Canada Customs. "It could cause Inland and others to evaluate whether they want to deal with Canadian booksellers," said Manthome. "It could also lead to self-censorship, in terms of what booksellers are willing to carry." Any hope of a policy shift under Kim Campbell died with her reorganization ofthe cabinet, which will move Canada Customs from the Ministry of Revenue to the Ministry of Public Security. "The shift is interesting, just as it's interesting that they moved Immigration to Public Security," said Manthome. "It shows a certain mindset on the part of the government." PEN's resolution comes on the heels of that of the International Bookseller's Federation, whose General Assembly adopted a similar declaration in Belgium on 15 June. But while PEN will continue to publicize its resolution, particularly after the 25 October election, their attention will now turn to the Little Sisters case. The Vancouver bookstore is challenging the government's constitutional right to detain books and periodicals, prior to their having been found to violate a Canadian law. On 27 September, the government was granted its third delay, on the grounds that three years was insufficient time to prepare its case. Slated to testify for Little Sisters on behalf of PEN were such Canadian luminaries as Pierre Berton, Timothy Findley and Governor General's Award winner Nino Ricci. Given another delay of up to a year, it is unlikely that the conservatives will undergo a sudden ideological change—or that opposition parties will force the issue onto the national agenda. "Having been waging this battle for five years, I have no faith that even a resolution from International PEN will have an effect," said Flemming. "The only thing that will make a difference is a court judgment, and now that's been delayed once again." /*Findleyat\ Little « ^ Sister's ^ %benefit^** <3anad5an author Itonothy B1n*r^lKan» WMteheadappearedatabenefifc for Lifts* Sister's Gay and Les* bian Bookstore at the Zunl Cafe last Sunday.

This is the third time the case has been adjourned, The Crownbroughtina new lawyer in the past month to take over handling of the case, who is apparently working closely with the former lawyer, Deva stressed that the Crown has already had over two and a half years to prepare. Little Sister's has been getting financial support from two other bookstores serving Canada's queer commurdties» Glad Day in Toronto and 1'Androgene in Montreal. Deva projects that a further $100,000 to $200,000 will be required to cover the court and preparation time, cost of transporting wit-* nesses and other expenses, "We will probably have to raise funds beyond our small, beleagured community," said Deva. However, he stressed that the BC Civil liberties Association is on board for the court fight. He also added that a new government might have a different attitude the day after the election.

TUESDAY 26 OCTOBER 1993 THE UBYSSEY Perspective Being a woman is dangerous to one's health by Sandy Wilson Women often feel uncomfortable in their doctor's office. They maybe reluctant to discuss a problem for fear of sounding like a "complainer." They may feel they won't be believed or heard, or perhaps they just can not understand medical jargon. These feelings are not part of their imagination. Medical language, therapy and communication may be gender biased. This bias is covert and insidious, and it may result in consequences not fully understood by the female patient. For example, a female patient may feel depressed after the birth of her child. It is true that hormones play a part in this condition, but so might facts like her husband workinglonger hours at the office, or the patient missing the companionship of her colleagues at her old job. She may be diagnosed with "postpartum depression." Socioeconomic details in her life are not really a part of this diag- nosis.Perhapslabellingherwith "husband goes vacant" is more descriptive as a label. Regardless, sheislabelled as pathological, and this adds to her previous problems. Perhaps sheis now placed on medication. Now that this "problematic" and "medicated" woman is labelled, society can dismiss the complex problem of women's inequality. Medication is expressive. Dulling one's ability to learn and to use coping strategies effectively, it keeps this woman from being assertive, angry, and "heard" in a patriarchal world. Better that women complain of feeling "drowsy, dopey or depressed," as history has described us, than to make demands for equal child rearing practices. It is not just diagnosis that contribute to poor health and bad feeling, for women in health care—gender bias is re- flectedin medical language and communication as well. In 1971, Ruth Cooperstock, a sociologist in Canada, interviewed doctors and had them describe the "typi cal complaining patient." Of these physicians, 72 percent referred to the female patient. A more in-depth analysis of this data revealed gender problems with communication. Men, it was found, tend to describe their symptoms, while women describe their symptoms and "explain how they make her feel." The notion of "complaining" was linked to "expression of feelings." This fact reflects a subjective interpretation of the word "complaining." Perhaps a feminist reading would conclude that men withdraw while women open up when discussing health concerns. The point is, if doctors think men are "describing" when they are, in fact suicidal, andthatwomen are "complaining" when they are just "describing", incorrect treatment will follow. Gender bias in diagnoses, language and communication make being female hazardous to your health. Besides gender bias infiltrations in medicine, women may be subjected to paternalism in the office visit. Medical paternalism may be an unconscious process for physicians. Women, particularly womenin or leaving abusive relationships, will not find paternalism helpful. The task these women are trying to achieve is a "reclaiming of autonomy." Feminists suggest a cooperative relaitionship between physician and patient. Words like "it will be okay, dear", or "111 make your decisions" do not satisfy the developmental needs of these women. In fact the physician who is in a controlling position will signify the woman's abuser, whether or not this is realistic. Past feelings of fear and helplessness will recur in the victims. Physicians may write "on welfare", "sexually promiscuous" or "wearing no make-up" on the chart. These practices reflect sexist, class values. They reinforce patriarchal agendas from out therein therestoftheworldratherthan promote a woman's health. The media, your mother, father and women friends may be equally guilty in the social construction of medicine by using language that does not reflect a health self-concept for the female. For example, women themselves often use the phrase "on the rag" to describe menstruation. A mother who explains that "down there" is "whatever" is not giving words to name her daughter's experience. A girl with no name for her clitoris can only relate to this part of her body through mystery and fear. Perhaps she will disassociate and not relate to it at all. A young girl who hears that some pharmacy com- panyhasapillwhich will "cure" her of menstrual cramps, is set up to feel badly about her body. With the advance of AIDS, now more than ever, young teenage girls need words to describe their body parts accurately. They need words to manage the imbalances between men and women when they negotiate sex. Words are as important as contraception! Words express, create, and empower women. For example, women who believe the uterus is an integral part of their psychological and physical makeup feel less pain giving birth than women who believe the uterus is an involuntary muscle. Alcoholics Anonymous has known the value of words. Alcoholics Anonymous clients begin their meetings stating, "I am an alcoholic". The rhetoric transforms them. It says, "-because I take up this present space with these words, I claim what I am, I end tiie denial of the past. I commit to something new." Women * must believe, themselves. If words and labels do not match their experience in a health care setting, they must be retracted, resisted and reformed by themselves. Take back those things, words and labels that do not belong.

Finding Spirit of Place dydy VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL ■AlliEfillE|iV|||:i9|:illIl::. Authors Ward and Davis are both cultural-and to some degree, religious- -explorers. Their travels and spiritual quests made for an evening of contemplation, containing bo A a denial of anthropocentrism, and a plea for bio-diversity and an understanding of geospiritualism and animism in cultures rich with plant knowledge and intimate with their environment. Ward made a valiant attempt to describe the spiritual traditions of Tibetan Buddhists, and their perception of spirituality. He discussed the implications of dealing with something as minute as a flea being an equal planetary denizen. He also discussed the many Indiginous Peoples of the Americas who make no distinction between the animate and the inanimate, because, "to heal yourself, you have to move through sacred geogra- phy." Ward dealt with a question about the Dalai Lama sayingthat he was the last in the line of Lamas. If for instance the Dalai Lama merely did not confer with his priestly retinue on his deathbed, that alone would break a tradition of centuries and make it next to impossible to locate his next reincarnation. Davis quoted a Voodoo enthusiast as saying "Trie whites sit in church and talk about God, the [Indigenous Peoples of The Americas] chew plants and talk to God, but we dance in the temple and become Gods." He also pointed out that when mythologist extraordinaire Joseph Campbell was asked if there was any country in the New World where people actually practised their religion, he responded, "Haiti". Davis described Voodoo practitioners as being in dread of death not as a finality but* as a stage in which their 'ti bon ange (good little angel) could be taken over by someone else's spirit in the year-and-a-day that their spirit would wander after death. Davis characterised the US as a surrealistic society. For an example, he gave the "grieving rooms" in schools in Washington, D.C., which are places where students can be taken to be consoled about having friends shot or killed by handguns. "Of course, you could try to do something about the handguns", he said shaking his head, "but that's a Canadian view. After this enchanting evening's experience, I found myself musing, "too bad it wasn't a wine & cheese, so I could entitle my piece 'Of Buddha & Gouda,' or a demonstration of Haitian Voodoo by turning an audience member into a zombie so I could entitle its You'll Do For Voodoo.'" a^v^c^ * Supijidg AROUND the World between COVERS by Tanya Storr Seven writers from many parts of the planet gathered on Thursday night to share their insights on the global village. During the evening, their words took us to rainforests in Brazil, barracks in Czechoslovakia, and to the 1698 th meeting of a literary society in India, among other wild and wonderful places.

Her poems ranged from a biting satire about her experience of crossing the US-Canadian border to a beautiful prayer called "Eagle Poem." Vikram Seth, author of the novel A Suitable Boy read from his 1349-page saga detailing the life of a family in India in the early 50's. Seth's numerous writing style made him a great hit with the audience, and he promised us that his book wouldn't break our pocketbook, but it may break our wrists. Canadian authors Carol Shields and Thomas King both explored the subject of sex and marriage in their novels. Shield's The Stone Diaries examines the life of a woman stuck in an unsatisfying marriage, while King's protagonist in Green Grass, Running Water has two lovers because she is afraid of commitment. Both authors managed to be both humourous and disturbingly realistic. Josef Skvorecky immigrated to Canada after the Soviet takeover of Czechoslovakia in 1968. His reading took us behind the scenes in a Czechoslovakian army barrack, where the soldiers had only one two-month-old copy of The Armoured Fist for reading material. Although Skvorecky's strong Czech accent was at times difficult to understand, he successfully conveyed his premise that there is no room for creativity and individuality in a totalitarian regime. Tei Yamashita, A Japanese-American writer who is married to a Brazilian, read to a background accompaniment of Brazilian music. She told us that the largest community of Japanese people outside of Japan reside in Brazil, and that she spent 10 years following their stories. She denounced clearcutting of the rainforest, and labelled one Brazilian state, "the world's largest market for chainsaws." Canadian writer Greme Gibson read from his latest novel Gentleman Death, His reading revealed his strong talent for creating character and setting a scene. Lines such as "Her face convulsed like a skin of water coming to aboil" were very visually expressive. I almost felt I was sitting in die kitchen with his characters as he described their movements and conversation. "The Global Village" was an ambitious event to pull off, considering the great variety of writers present, and the organizers did it in style. Although we only got a quick glimpse of each writer's talent, we walked away curious to leam more. by Simon Matifasevic "I'll have a Manhattan," he said. "Coffee," I said. Josef Skvorecky looked at me with eyes that have seen Nazis. They are the kind of eyes that make you want to look away. But you can't Honest Czech eyes that reflect a soul tempered by the rigors of life in a country first occupied by tiie Nazis and then crushed by Commmunists. We sat in the lounge at the Granville Island Hotel, his Manhattanglowing orange in the soft afternoon light. His soft hands wrapped the glass and he sipped slowly, softly, without sound. He smiled. I smiled. I asked about how he started writing. He explained that when he was young he was sick and couldn't participate in sports for about a year. He read. Then, at the age of nine, he started writing. The whole time we spoke he looked me in the eyes. He asked if there was anything he could get me. He suggested a Manhattan. I explained that there was a jazz thing I had to do later that night and that I would probably drink there. He was embarassed when I told him how brilliant I thought he was. He told me that the biggest problem he had whim he was starting out was dialogue. Good dialogue is difficult to write. Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms was an inspiration-dialogue didn't have to be preachy or relate pertinent information. It was most realistic when it was about nothing in particular. The way people really speak He carefully lifted tiie glass and replaced it on the napkin. He spoke softly. His voice barely reaching my hungry ears. He seemed suprised I wasn't asking him tiie usual reporter questions. He wondered if I would have enough for the article. I reassured him. The waiter came back. Another coffee please. Make that two. I told him that I would like to be a professional writer. He looked at me with those writer eyes. He knew what it was like. I saw the memories there. In his eyes. He enjoyed writing the detective stories. It was easy and it was hard. He had to use both parts of his mind. Creative, for atmosphere and tone. Logic, for plot and details. It was fun though. Read Raymond Chandler. Excellent writer. Not great logic but beautiful style and great reading. He drank his coffee in small sips. Little bits of caffeine. Holding the cup like it would break, he told me about a Chaplin film where Chaplin playing an aristocrat ends up doing television because there is nothing else he can do. Chaplin screws up the commercials but they end up being an unbelievable. One of the Writer's Festival people came to tell him his ride was ready when he was. He nodded acknowledgement. The messenger left He apologized. I told him there was no reason to. He explained that he wanted to rest before his reading later that night I stood up too quickly. He rose slowly moving the mass of his wisdom and his years. We walked slowly. Slight limp. Out in the sunshine we walked toward the Writer's Festival headquarters. He said it was nice to meet me.

I had been there for all of two minutes when suddenly I'm agreeing to skip my evening class, and instead, cover the Buffalo Tom show at the Town Pump that night And I ask you—with my best rhetorical grin—why? Don't get me wrong, I like Buffalo Tom—it's just not the kind of show I go out of my way for, especially when it compromises my . dream of becoming an educated service clerk, waiter, or whatever it is that B A grads do out there in the big world beyond university. Buffalo Tom w/ Betty Serveerte MOSH 'N STOMP The Town Pump 20 October Anyway, I swallowed this litde moral dilemma, and dutifully set off for the Pump to interview singer/ guitarist Paul Janowitz about the tour and the new album Big Red Letter Day. "Without a doubt we're happy with this record. In contrast to the other albums, there's less that we wanted to change afterwards. I think it's because we've gotten better at recording, but also because we've had a lot more time just to get things right. "With all die studio time we had there wasn't really much excuse to let things go, and dren say afterwards, "Shit, we should have fixed this, or done that,' which is something we've done in the past I like to think that we're progressing. It would be weird UBC Bookstore Presents FRANK OGDEN Canada's roremost ruturist and author or The Last Book You II Ever Read, speaking on the electronic ruture or the printed word. $24.95 MacFarlane, Walter & Ross Free event at the UBC Bookstore at 12:30 pm on Friday, October 29tn.

We've been touring with these two bands (Holland's Betty Serveerte and The Verlaines, who— without visas—couldn't get up to the show) and I love both bands musically, so the vibes are great "Most shows have been selling out It's early in the recdrd so we didn't really expect much, but the reaction has been really solid." And solid, as far as the show went, is as good a word as any to describe the band's performance. Or, how about tight Or honest Though they were a little rough starting, the band soon caught the rhythm and played a solidly frenetic show. The sold-out crowd was certainly appreciative, warming up to a steady bop as the concert progressed, I wonder if a good or bad performance would have mattered to the already- converted, uncritical crowd They had paid their bucks, and they were going to enjoy the show. (With, of course, the obligatory mini-mosh developing, complete with swimmers.) Another reason to explain such a happy crowd may well have been because of Betty Serveerte. This Dutch quartet, in the absence of the Verlaines, played a great extra-long Opening set They certainly rivalled Buffalo Tom's tightness, and also threw in some great drawn out wailin* guitar to give the evening a little bit of—how you say—an edge. Voguing to FrUVOUS by Ruta Fluxgold Moxy Fruvous are one talented bunch of guys—they can harmonize like nobody else that I know. This band has been corn-pared to the Barenaked Ladies, but other than the fact that both are from Canada, the two have virtually nothing in common. Fruvous relies on then- voices to entertain, and entertain they do. Moxy Fruvous HARMONIC BLISS Vogue Theatre 20 October Moxy Fruvous is a band with very strong politically correct viewpoints. Almost every song has a message, ranging from "Lazy Boy" (an anti-TV song) to "War in the Gulf." Even though these song have the potential to turn you off of Fruvous, they don't because the harmony of their voices entrances you and the lyrics are written in such a way that make you chuckle at the same time it makes you think. To see Moxy Fruvous live is to really experience the full talent of this band. Fruvous got their start busking in various cities around Canada and their experience in live performance really makes a difference in their shows. The band punctated their lyrics with props and kept us entertained during the songs with litde skits and dialogues. They also sang the crowd pleaser, "Green Eggs and Ham" to which the dnimmer/vocalist Jean and accordion player/vocalist Dave acted out the lyrics in full costume. They parodied themselves when they sang a grunge version of their first hit, "King of Spain" for an encore to show that they really are stupid for not capitalizing on the trend, as one comment made by a band "character" pointed out. The best part of the concert came at the end of the show. To those of you that have never been to the Vogue, you really must go, it has the best acoustics of any concert hall in this city. This was -probably the reason why Moxy Fruvous sounded so good when for their last song they sang a cappella and off-mike "GulfWar Song." There are few things that I can criticize about this show. First are the seats in the Vogue. They have not yet been replaced and really stand out in the newly refurbished venue. The other thing that really got on my nerves was the amount of do-do-do in the lyrics of the songs. They sound nice and all but when you hear a few too many, they become as annoying as. a mosquito's buzzing. When Moxy Fruvous comes back into town (and they will) I advise anyone who likes the band's tape to go and see them live—it's ten times better in person. Even if you remotely like this band, you'll have a great time because they put so much effort into pleasing the audience that the music almost takes a back seat Spearman jazzes with high heavy kick by Simon Matijasevic Fucking intense. I thought this was going to be some boring "muzak" jazz. I was totally wrong. These guys were fanatstic. My friend Dave and I got there a little early. We sat We talked. We got a litde bored. Dave suggested beer. I couldn't agree more. So we waited and sipped bur beer. Glen Spearman Double Trio JAZZY ARTICULATIONS Glass Slipper 21 October The show started half an hour late. Five minutes into it, I decided that I could have sat there drinking beer for a year and it still would have been worth it Did I like it? Fuck, yes. This music was unreal. It was better than real. The Glen Spearman Double Trio are incredibly talented musicians playing music that makes the rest of us look like a bunch of idiots. I couldn't get over it. I'm hooked. It was like drugs. The first one's free. But now I'm a junkie. I'll pay through through the nose. The sextet is the result of joining two trios: Glenn Spearman's regular trio, which includes drummer Donald Robinson and bassist Ben Lindgren and the group Room consisiting of saxophonist Larry Ochs, keyboardist Chris Brown, and percussionist Willy Winant I had never been to a live jazz show before. I'd heard tapes. But this was different For me it was like a baptism by fire. They got up on stage and just went like nuts. Being a jazz virgin and all it was a little difficult for me to figure out just what the hell was going on at first But when I did. Oh baby. Percussionist Willy Winant deserves special mention. This guy is wild. He has more energy than a dozen super-charged Energizer bunnies. He was bahing and smashing all night long. I was getting tired just lifting my pint of beer. Boom. Boom. Boom. It was excellent He was totally out of control. The whole group was incomparable. The way that the different sounds and textures within the group itself blended together to make a completely unique sound was beautiful. It was really unreal. I can't tell you how cool this was. If you ever have an opportunity to hear these guys live, do it. You won't regret it. I promise. TUESDAY 26 OCTOBER 1993 THE UBYSSEY Perspective Campus paper waste measured in reams, not sheets bv Gwylim Blackburn UBC uses a lot of paper. Aside from our notes and essays, books and handouts, the campus itself blows with paper—literally. This does not seem entirely necessary. The two main forms of paper we see on campus are advertisements and newspapers. The ads, posted on walls, doors, desks, benches, bicycle, cars, and trees, range from ballets to beer gardens and they are s wampingin their numbers. The regular student papers sit in doorways, hallways, and cafeterias. Stopping to really notice this, one might ask, "Why so much?". This answer is simple for Tom Brasseur a staff member at the Peak, SFU student paper, which publishes 10 000 copiesaweek,"10000isamagic number; most papers are like that—they have to set a minimum rate for the ads people." "Our best pick-up," said Brasseur, "would be 9500 with 500 to spare." Of those that are picked up, a few end upin the elusive recyclingbags, most in the more common garbage pails, and the rest are "dispersed" here and there. Graham Cook, news coordinator at The Ubyssey, said, "It just becomes much cheaper to print more once you go above a specific level." Forads, the purposeis simple. They wish to be seen and therefore clutter the specialized bulletin boards in the SUB. Carole Forsythe the AMS coordinator of external affairs pins up ads in the typical drown-all-othera style, on an oppressively messy and bright SUB board.This event is in one week, but I know that I will have to post them again on Wednesday," Forsythe said. "Before, I used to care [about paper use]. Now I just do it," she said. Aside from a monthly clearing of SUB bulletin boards, expired ads are rarely removed; old ads simply build up or fall off. A five-week study at SFU concluded that students pick up more news papers if the paper pile is bigger and brighter. The story appears the same for ads; the ones that scream in hoards of psychedelic colours are the most noticed. Is there an optimistic side to high paper use on campus? Well, recycling comforts us, even if it is not the whole solution, and it seems that at least most of the student papers collect and recycle unclaimed "oldies". A more obvious and frequently bypassed question is, again, "Why so much paper use?". Ryan McCuaig, student council representative on the publication board for the three AMS funded papers, The Ubyssey, Pow, and Perspectives, questioned if we really do need several student papers each with its own special outlook. "The Ubyssey and Pow Where have all the lefties gone? by Kevin Carl Someone told me to write this editorial to the music ofwhere have all the flowers gone", replacing flowers with left-handed desks. But, unfortunately that is impossible. Why is that do you ask? Because there was never any left- handed desks to begin with. As left-handed individuals why is it in the advanced age of technology that we live we are forced to use right-handed technology. How many of you have sat in right-handed desks to write a three hour exam? And, when finished you leave knowing that if you had not been cramped over to the right for the last three hours your performance on the exam would have been much better. Never mind sitting for fifteen cramped hours of contact time in right-handed desks a week. When I was accepted at the University of British Columbia, I was proud, excited, and overwhelmed with the fact that I would be attending one of most recognized institutions in Canada. You must know how saddened I was when I arrived to find out that an establishment that is held in such high esteem across our fine nation forgot about the left-handed students enrolled in its programs. If the programs offered at the university are supposed to be equal opportunity courses once you are accepted into the program, for to be accepted you must have the grade point average ofacceptance, then why must left-handed students put up with the extra pressure of using aright-handed desk? We have been accepted, so where does thejustice lie? I truly believed that we left the dark ages a long time ago. Teachers no longer remove the pencil from the left hand of students and place it in the right. Although, this did happen to me when I was in grade one and two in 1963 and 64. Now the elementary level of education strives for the students individuality, stat- people. Well if this is the case we must have right people running the administration of this university because they definitely have no cre- president, I would have to say that a racial injustice is being over- ative skills, and obviously do not want left-handed people to be successful because there are no LEFT- HANDED DESKS. If there are any, I have seen very few, most of them are broken or defaced in some way. Legs broken, arms missing, scarred or marked up beyond use. Last semester I came to the campus two hours early to a final exam, knowingthat I would spend at least half an hour trying to locate a desk. Everyone knows that the classes are locked duringexam time. Do you know it took me one and a half hours to find a LEFT- HANDED DESK' Administration and President Strangeway please answer me this, why should I or any other left-handed student have to spend that much time worrying about something that should be there? A very simple equation would show the administration and the president that at least twenty percent of the universities population is left-handed. Seeing as how these facilities are not being provided by the administration and the looked on this campus and must come to an end. This is why I am calling all LEFT-HANDED PEOPLE to rise to the occasion, we have been smitten by the right-handed world for the last time. WE WANT LEFT- HANDED DESKS IN ALL CLASSROOMS, TWENTY PERCENT OF THE DESKS, AS WELL, WE WANT THEM DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE CLASSROOM IN PROPER FASHION, NOT JUST STUCKFIVEINAROW AS IN ROOM B205 OFBUCHANAN BUILDING. These are not demands, yet but they are a request from people who write with their left hand, is it so difficult to understand that the world does not revolve around the right-handed members of society. We are here, and we are here to stay. ALL YOU SOUTHPAWS OUT THERE RAISE YOUR LEFT HAND. THIS IS YOUR ISSUE, PLEASE GET INVOLVED. WRITE THE PAPER OR IF YOU FEEL STRONGLY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AS I DO, PLEASE CONTACT ME THROUGH THE PAPER. L.E.F.T. [for instance] used to be one but, people have different interests, squabbles occur, and a split results," McCuaig said. However many people read four or five different papers. Though numerous papers available on campus let each of us create our own ultimate reading combination, we contrast other campus' such as SFU, where The Peak has served a wide range of readers for 65 years. Similarly, perhaps fewer posted ads, in the correct places would counter the run- away-traineffectthatdevelops i n the ad verti si ng anarchy that we currently use, as well as make a smaller job of then collecting the old ones. As always, turning to scrutinize ourselves is more difficult. Readers, writers, and just people, must demand less. After all, the paper that you hold was made for you, as were the ads, coupon books, newsletters, discount binder paper, Student Handbook, glossy subscriptions, and all the 'Welcome to UBC, student #9936609509372" letters that we have all received. 1 Non- Traditional Students' Network Every Friday 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. SUB North Plaza, Room 61A ram: Drop in for coffee or tea.

The hangover will continue for the next five years and it will be worse than having consumed twenty beers. All those Canadians who thought they were merely registering their anger by voting Reform and Bloc Quebecois will wake up to find Frankenstein's monster living in one corner of their backyard and a gargoyle chained in the opposite Bloc. Change can be good. Perhaps it is best that the Bloc Quebecois and Reform parties have obtained such status, for now they can only begin to reveal their true natures. Sure, every Western Canadian grumbles about Quebec, but are they really prepared to have them leave Canada? Do Quebecers really believe that the Bloc is the best thing for their province or have they just opened Pandora's box? What does the West expect from the Reform party? People in this region claim to hate politicians but what else can you call those Reform candidates who are now elected as official members of parliament? Are they still the farmers of Alberta? Now that they have become the "grassroots, moral conscience of parliament" they will no longer be able to merely throw out slogans—they may actually have to provide their voters with something of substance. A tour of the parliamentary library may have some merit to the new honourable members. How will time change the new parties? Their policies may bend like Liberals on a fence being blown in a hard wind. Brian Mulroney did an about face on his position concerni ng free trade: "Don't talk to me about free trade. ... All that would happen with that kind of concept wouldbe the boys cranking up their plants in the United States in the bad times and shutting their entire branch plants in Canada. It's bad enough as it is." Brian Mulroney 1983. Will the Reform party's math improve? It seems only yesterday Bill McArthur, Reform party candidate for Vancouver Quadra, was able to multiply six times three and get nineteen. Will they suddenly realize the three years that they need to reduce the deficit is actually in dog years? Or that reducing the number of immigrants will suddenly increase the percentage of Canadians that are unemployed? Perhaps British Columbians and Albertans were expecting magic from the Reform party. Why were they not as convinced by the Natural Law Party? They, in fact, had more to offer: they claimed to be able to reduce the deficit without increasing our stress level. What more could any Canadian wish for? Canadians have never been very demanding. They willingly accept most politicians as their representatives as long as they are thought of once in a while. As Humphrey Bogart once said to a girl from Saskatoon in Across the Pacific (1942) on being a happy Canuck: "There's a Canadian for you. You let them take oif their clothes and they're happy." But that is only a foreigner's opinion. According to Pierre Berton "ACanadianis somebody who knows how to make love in a canoe." Let's hope the Bloc and Reform don't rock the boat before the end. the Ubyssey 26 October 1993 Tha Ubyssey la a founding nwmbor ot Canadian Univarsity Press The Ubyssey is published Tuesdays and Fridays by the Alma Mater Society of the University of British Columbia.

If someone were to ask you what "O.T." is what would you say? (No, the answer is not over-time). October 25- 29 is National Occupational Therapy Week which represents a time to expose our ignorance and ask, "What is O.T., anyway?". Occupational Therapy, a division in the School of Rehabilitation Sciences, is a health care profession concerned with increasing the independence and quality of life of people with physical and/or mental disabilities. Through the use of carefully selected activities, adaptive aids, environmental adaptations, education and task analysis, an occupational therapist focuses on improving functioning in the areas of self-care, work andleisure. The profession is diverse, serving clients of all ages in various settings including hospitals, community programs, schools, private practice and rehabilitation centres. So, what does an occupational therapist actually do? An O.T. can work with a boy who has lost an arm and teach him to use prosthesis so he can play hockey with his friends, get dressed independently, and do his school work. An O.T. can work with a woman with multiple sclerosis and teach her energy conservation techniques to manage her fatigue, andhelp her family to cope with the psychological stress. An O.T. can also work with a widowed, elderly man who is depressed, unable to look after himself and losing contact with others, to help him identify ways to maintain social relations with other people and develop the skills to become more independent. This is just a small sample of what O.T. is all about. If you are interested in more information, come to the occupational therapy booth in I.R.C. during O.T. week. You may even win a prize! So...when our roving video reporters approach you in I.R.C. and ask you "What is O.T., anyway?" what will you say? Karen Gilbert OT 3 Tania Percy OT 2 Give a hoot, Don't pollute I would like to commend you on Sarah O'Donnell's timely article on UBC's incinerator dilemma, and clarify one of the issues raised. The article left the false impression that UBC voluntarily put the replacement project on hold. In January 1993 the Ministry of Advanced Education, and the Ministry of Environment withdrew funding for the project and ordered UBC to stop the project, pending a report from the Waste Reduction Commission. We are still awaiting that report. In August the Ministry of Environment issued its polluter's list citing UBC. The irony is, the same bureaucracy that will not let us clean up our act, is now chastising us for not doing so. This is a very frustrating situation for many members of the University and surrounding community who have spent up to 5 years in developing a comprehensive hazardous waste reduction and management plan. Our first priority at UBC is to minimize waste, and waste that can not be eliminated at source must be managed in the most environmentally responsible manner possible. Lets all keep in mind the impact our activities have on the environment, and reduce our lab waste as much as possible. Sincerely, Randy Alexander Manager Hazardous Waste Minimization Supplemental sin Supplemental examinations have long provided students with the chance to improve on final examinations which, for whatever reason, were less satisfactory when first written. Given the various restrictions under which supplementals could be written, this opportunity for bettering a poor final grade was created to help a student who was otherwise doing satisfactorily. Last year, the Faculty of Science eliminated thi s privilege for its students, and this year, the Faculty of Arts wishes to do the same. Whether you have, in the past, used this supplemental privilege of simply wish to express your opinion on this matter, I want to hear from you.

Fear and loathing: on the campaign trail '93 by Sean Fleming I generally restrict my discussions of political matters to Friday nights with friends over a beer, but some ofthe statements made by our potential Prime Ministers in the recent leadership debate have annoyed me sufficiently to speak out. A number of the things they sai d were remarkably stupid, ignorant, or deliberately misleading, but I was most disgusted by their comments regarding gun control and capital punishment during a question period dedicated to the issue of crime. Mr. Chretien, Mr. Bouchard, and Ms. MacLaughlin all made very simplistic, brief, and polifi- cally correct comments advocating the removal of firearms from private owner-ship. Mr. Chretien's statement, while the most mild, is my personal favorite. I cannot recall the exact wording of it, but it was a Chretienesque remark which wentsomethingverymuch like this: "Yeah, hunting, that is OK, but for me, I don't think people should be allowed to carry handguns." This was said in the context of a discussion proposing tighter gun controls, the implication then clearly being that Mr. Chretien is under the impression that Canadians are presently permitted to roam the streets fully aimed, and he believes this practice should be stopped. I have some news for Mr. Chretien: for all practical purposes, it has been illegal to carry a handgun in this country since 1977. There are some exceptions, consisting of individuals who are deemed to require a handgun for self defense on the job. However, the vast majority of handgun owners are restricted by law to transporting their firearms only to and from a firing range. At no time is any non-police officer permitted to carry a concealed weapon. How can we trust this man to conceive of and implement fair and effective firearms legislationifhe doesn't know what the law actually is? Ms. MacLaughlin and Mr. Bouchard did not make any such specific and indisputably wrong comments, but their hand-waving dismissal ofthe rights of firearms owners and their suggestion, without any discussion whatsoever of the details, that the presence of guns in the public domain is a fundamental cause of crime in our society do not repre- sentthe well-considered opinions we have arighttoexpect from our potential leaders. These were reactionary, knee-jerk responses to a complicated issue with far- reaching implications. Several basic questions need to be answered. Which is more important, a potential reduction in the rate of violent crime, or the personal rights and freedoms of many thousands of Canadians who choose to own firearms of some description? Are these concerns compatible? Are you willing to give up the means to defend yourself and your family ad equately, trusting the police and courts to be able to not only punish crime but to effectively prevent it? How much control are you prepared to give to the state in order for it to fulfill that role? Would you prefer to believe that this is your life and it is both your responsibility and your right to defend it? Would that only lead to anarchy? And on a more technical level, just what are the facts about legally acquired guns and crime? We are discussing Canadian societal norms and behaviour. Arguments and statistics that apply to Los Angeles or Washington, BC or the backwoods of Arkansas just don't work here. We are very different from the Americans in some ways— and especially so when guns are the topic of discussion. Firearms legislation doesn't grab the headlines in Canada like the deficit and unemployment do, but it is an issue which raises some fundamental questions about what we want our society to be, how optimistic you are about essential human nature, and what role government should play in our lives. Regardless of your views on the matter, it requires a more complete andintelligentresponse from our leadership candidates than what we got in the debate. At the other end ofthe political spectrum, we have Mr. Manning. He suggested in the debate that a referendum be held concerning the return of capital punishment. This is even worse than the remarks of the others. Never has there ever been any kind of definitive evidence that capital punishment is an effective deterrent. It is nothing more than institutionalized revenge and murder. A nation that has a death penalty in anything other than wartime conditions consists of a society of barbarians. The remarks of the others satisfied typical standards of mindless political correctness; Mr. Manning's corresponded to a special redneck political correctness. Ms. Campbell seemed to be almost incapable of uttering a sentence which did not include the word "deficit". It is somewhat difficult to combine "guns" or "capital punishment" with "deficit" in a logically constructed sentence, so she didn't have much of anything to say about these issues. But I think Mr. Manning doesn't really believe in capital punishment. Nor do I think that the others firmly believe in gun control. Their positions on these issues are based on what will get them votes. And it is this—the proposition on national television that civil liberties, and in Mr. Manning's case, the right to life itself, be voided, not out of ideology but simply to acquire political power—it is this that sickens me. But the worst part is that they will only say these things if people buy it. The average Canadian knows so little, and cares so little, that maybe we even deserve leaders like this.

A Lie of the Mind THEATRE playwright: Sam Shepard dir. Ron Chartier Vancouver Little Theatre until 30 October This disjointed midwestem slice of life, a Shepard staple, involves two families linked by a wifebeating son in one and his victim in the other, his wife, who he has irreversibly impaired. Shepard's plays are offered as social criticism rather than glorifying commentary, with A Lie ofthe Mind demonstrating the impunity with which spousal assault is dealt, as family members would rather ignore subjects too painful to discuss. Insanity is presented as being inherited through upbringing, evident in the anal quirks of the parents eminaling from their children. History also plays a key role in determining the | present, as the circular nature of repeating breakdowns travels down the family tree. While most of the women are presented as feeble-minded, the men are equally distasteful—the old dying misogynist and his young prodigy, his son. Indeed, there is a strong sense of uncontrollable aggression amongst the male characters, each using violence as their only means of communication. A Lie ofthe Mind follows along the same vein as Sam Peckinpah's film Straw Dogs, often referred to as "the first fascist work of art." Each probes deep into the male psyche, examining violence as an ever-present force in the male decision-making process. A minimalistic set, a slow twanging guitar in scene interludes, and clouds of dust roaring off the chesterfield helped give the play a southwestern American flair. In judging a Shepard performance, Ihe players must stand up to a much more harsher reviewer's pen as his plays are unanimously golden. To single out a single player in this production, however, would certainly be unfair. Efforts to pick apart the set drew heartfelt applause, a standing are also fruidess, as the curtain call ovation from some.
