Friday, January 30,1987\n228-2301\nStrai^way calls for student outcry\nBy JENNIFER EYALL\nUBC president David Strangway\nsays he is fighting hard to increase\ngovernment funding for universities\nbut students must cry out too if\nchanges are to be made.\n\"If there were 5,000 students\nhere today it would have helped,\"\nStrangway told 50 students who\ncame to hear him speak at SUB\nauditorium about UBC's four per\ncent tuition hike.\nLater he said he was disappointed\nby the turnout.\n\"One of the reasons I was willing\nto come today was because I wanted\na real outcry on these (funding)\nissues,\" said Strangway. \"This is\nthe time to make sure the people\nout there fully understand the issues\nwe face.\"\nWhen asked after the forum if he\nwanted to spur students on to pro\ntest, Strangway said, \"that's why I\ncame here.\"\nStrangway said the university ad-,\nministration has been extra active\nthis year in fighting against cutbacks and doubted the possibility of\ngetting any more funds from the\ngovernment.\nHe said the administration is\nunder intense pressure to keep\nfaculty at UBC and maintain\nfacilities. A tuition increase is\nStudents protest fee hike\nBy ALLISON FELKER\nA small but vocal group of\nstudents worried about UBC's tuition fee hike staged a protest inside\nthe board of governors meeting\nThursday.\nAbout 25 students, angry about\nthe board's decision to impose a\nfour per cent increase to tuition\nfees, which are now among the\nhighest in Canada, voiced their concerns to board members about the\nincreasing financial burdens placed\nupon students.\nRobbie Fleming, a member of\nUBC's New Democratic club, said\nit is impossible to run a first class\nuniversity on a \"third class\nbudget.\" He compared the board's\nrelations with the provincial\ngovernment to Neville\nChamberlain's appeasement policy\nin World War Two.\n\"I'd like to see the (BOG) refuse\nto raise fees,\" he said.\nAlicia Barsallo, a member of\nStudents for a Democratic University, said \"the board moves the\nPell thews race en\nIt will be a fight to the finish as Rebecca Nevraumont and Blair\nLongley race neek-and-neck in the third annual Alma Mater\npresidential burger poll in the Pit Pub.\nLongley is quickly catching up with Nevraumont who held the lead\nTuesday with 44 votes.\nAs of 5:00 p.m. Thursday, out of a total 308 burgers sold to date,\n157 were Nevraumont burgers while 151 were purchased in the name\nof Longley.\nBut Pit kitchen supervisor Bruce Michael, formally in charge of\ntallying daily sales, said apathy is still the dominant factor.\n\"We're only selling 90 presidential burgers a day compared with\n300 regular burgers?' he said.\nLast year, apathy burgers took 60 per cent of total burgers sold.\nMichael Said the burgers were not included in this year's poll to force\nstudents to take a stand on the issue one way or the other.\n\"The numbers indicate that students couldn't care less about this\nelection?'he said.\nWhen contacted Thursday, Nevramont said: \"Many people view\nthe AMS with humor and Blair provides them with that outlet.\" She\ndid not comment farther on the poll, whieh Michael claims has accurately reflected the previous years' winners.\nuniversity but it doesn't show any\nconcern for the students of the\nuniversity.\"\nBoard chair Bill Sauder assured\nthe group that the board has worked hard with the government to obtain additional funding. \"I can't\nemphasize that enough,\" he said.\nAlma Mater Society president\nSimon Seshadri, said he was unhappy with the way students staged the\nprotest, saying they created a poor\nimage with the board.\n\"Do students honestly think that\nby coming in and hurling\nobscenities at the board that they\nwill listen? He added the board\ndoesn't have a choice in raising tuition fees because it must balance the\nuniversity's budget. \"The students\nshould petition Victoria, not the\nboard,\" said Seshadri.\nAMS presidential candidate Blair\nLongley, assuming the role of what\nhe called a Socred, told students to\n\"piss off and die.\"\n\"All we care about is out big corporations,\" said Longley.\nAfter the meeting, the protestors\nformed a group called The Student\nCoalition for an Accessible Education. A speaker for\" the group,\nMichael Moeti, said the groups' objective is to actively obtain universally accessible education for\nstudents by raising money to assist\nwith tuition fees, housing, transportation and food.\nnecessary to preserve the quality of\nthe university, he said.\n\"One ought to realize that as\ncosts increase then so must the\nsource of revenue (government funding and tuition) increase. The simple fact is that costs continue to\nrise.\"\nA few hours after Strangway's\naddress, the board of governors approved the four per cent hike in a\nclosed meeting, which was preceded\nby a student protest.\nWith the newly-imposed increase,\ntuition fees will account for about\n15.2 per cent of the university's\noperating budget.\nStrangway said the percentage is\nreasonable.\n\"It's almost exactly the same as\nthe rest of Canada with the exception of Quebec.\"\nAlma Mater Society president\nSimon Seshadri also expressed\ndisappointment that so few students\ncame to hear Strangway speak.\n\"Tuition fees are an issue on\ncampus and more (students) should\nhave come out to voice their\ndispleasure if that's what they're\nfeeling,\" he said.\nSeshadri said taken by itself, four\nper cent is not unreasonable. But\ntaken together with the past increases, it adds up considerably, he\nsaid.\n\"Council felt that a four per cent\nincrease was reasonable,\" said\nSeshadri. \"It's inflationary and\nthat's happening everywhere.\"\nMarzari attacks Socreds\nBy ROSS McLAREN\nThe New Democratic Party's Advanced Education critic lashed out\nat the provincial government\nWednesday for its continuing\nfailure to meet the needs of post-\nsecondary students.\nDarlene Marzari, speaking in\nSUB, attacked the government's\nposition on tuition fee increases,\nstudent aid and government funding for universities.\nMarzari said the latest four per\ncent tuition fee increase at UBC is\ninevitable but tragic because the\ncost of an education will double in\nthe next six years.\n\"Four per cent is not a bad increase but the cumulative effect is\nindicative of the government's\ndesire to cut back on enrolment\",\nshe said.\nStudent aid is another area where\nthe government has failed to meet\nthe needs of students, said Marzari.\n\"Premier Vander Zalm's goal is\nfor parents and their children to\nsave together for university. This\nattitude won't lead to greater accessibility,\" she said.\nStudents are being cut off from\nuniversity because there are no\ngrants, impossible loan loads and\ninaccessibility to humanities\ncourses, she added.\nUBC political science professor\nMike Wallace agreed problems exist\nin the Arts.\n\"Students are being cheated. I\nhave 150 people in one of my classes\nand no T.A.'s,\" he said.\nBetween 1979 and 1982, Wallace\nsaid, International Relations enrolment grew from approximately 30\nto 180 students with no increase in\nstaff. \"Every course in our department is full,\" he said.\nMarzari said the provincial\ngovernment should not interfere\nwith university autonomy.\n\"There is a lot of political interference with the courses universities can offer.\" She said community college courses do not\nreflect what the communities want\nbut provincial policy on job creation.\n\"I don't know if Stan Hagen (the\nminister for Advanced Education)\nis going to fight for more funding\nor for the down-sizing of universities. We will have to wait for the\nthrone speech,\" she said.

With a half life of 1660\nyears, Pinnegar said it would take\n16,600 years before exposed\nRadium 226 would be safe to\nhuman life.\nWhile small deposits of uranium\ndot the province, Pinnegar said the\nmajor commercial sites were in the\nOkanagan, the Omineca-Peace\nRiver country and in the far north\nnear Atlin.\nThe University Health and Safety Committee\nTask Force on\nOCCUPATIONAL STRESS\nis soliciting submissions from Faculty and Staff\non situations of stress contributing to\naccidents, illness or increased absenteeism\nat the University.\nWritten submissions should be sent to the\nOccupational Health and Safety Office\n209-A Old Administration Building\nCampus Mail\nShow your support for UBC's very own\nRICK HANSEN\nMan in MotionWorld Tour\nFriday February 6th\n12:35 pm\nS.U.B.

Public Interest\nResearch Group survey.\nThe major offenders are professors when graduate students are\ninvolved, and other students for\nundergrads.\nThe survey of 444 women found\n235 have been subjected to at least\none incident of sexual harassment\nor sexual assault, as defined by the\nsurvey's authors. The incidents consisted mainly of sexual harassment\nin the form of discriminatory\nremarks and inappropriate staring\nand leering at their bodies.\nSixteen women reported incidents\nof sexual assault, and 49 reported\ninappropriate advances suggesting\nsexual intimacy.\nThe survey sample of about 10\nper cent of the women students on\ncampus is considered statistically\naccurate and can be extrapolated to\nthe whole female campus population, according to sociology professor Ellen Gee.\nAccording to B.C. PIRG, the findings indicate need for a campus-\nwide policy to address the problem,\nand an ongoing campaign to raise\nawareness among the university\ncommunity. The survey showed\nthat only 48 women recognized\ntheir experience as sexual harassment.\n\"Discriminatory remarks aren't\nthe same as someone sticking his\nhand down a woman's shirt,\" said\nresearch co-ordinator Dorrie\nNagler. \"But the fact that those\nstatements can be made in a\nclassroom setting and nobody says\nno, indicates that it's permissible\nand okay \u00E2\u0080\u0094 and it is definitely not\nokay.\"\n\"This is the first hard data we've\nseen about SFU,\" said Blakely,\nwho also chairs an ad hoc committee on sexual harassment. \"It proves the anecdotes we've heard are\nreally true.\"\nBlakely said although she expected the results for undergrads,\nshe was quite shocked at the\nstatistics for graduate students.\nThe survey also found that 98\nstudents, approximately one in five,\nlimit their activities for fear of sexual harassment or assault or\nbecause of a previous experience of\neither.\nNew program viewed with caution\nBy EVELYN JACOB\nPremier Bill Vander Zalm's plans\nfor a new province-wide sex education program in public schools was\nwelcomed with caution by the director of AIDS Vancouver Thursday.\nBob Tivey said he is hesitant to\ngive full support to the program\nbecause of Vander Zalm's statement that his own moral views\ncould influence what is taught. The\npremier said previously that teenage\nstudents should avoid sex to prevent\ncontacting Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.\n\"I want to respect people's\nreligious beliefs but at the same\ntime this (AIDS) is a major public\nhealth concern. Students have a\nright to information, and it is\ncriminal not to give it them,\" said\nTivey.\nThe program \u00E2\u0080\u0094 which will include education on the dangers and\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 malcolm pearson photo\nTHE INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD of Tools, Local rF78, on East Mall during their latest strike action.

But we don't want it to\nhappen again. Another rock concert would definitely damage the\nfloor again,\" he said.\nRobert Morford, head of UBC's\nphysical education department who\nis responsible for the gym floor,\nsaid after a meeting last week with\nphysical plant, he has decided to\ncontinue the ban on rock concerts.\n\"The Open House banquet and\nrock concerts have very different\nset-ups. I think the banquet is mostly a question of putting up tables,\"\nhe said.\nBut Bruce Paisley, AMS concert\ndirector, said there is no difference\nbetween the events. He concedes\nthe floor was not built for concerts,\nbut questioned why it could be used\nfor convocation.\n\"We could have had Robin\nWilliams. They (the physical education department) refused me. It's\njust a seating show. How could they\nhave graduation?\"\nHe denied Haller's assertion that\na fork-lift had been used in concert\nset-up, and questioned how\nPhysical Plant can be certain the\ndamage was caused by concerts.\n\"The heaviest part of concert\nequipment is the speakers, and they\nwere nowhere near the centre of the\nfloor where the damage is,\" said\nPaisley.\nPaisley also said the gym floor\nwas flooded in September and that\nthe damage might have been caused\nby water weight.\nJamie Collins, AMS director of\nfinance, said concerts may be more\ndamaging to the floor than other\nevents, but said the physical education department \"has never liked\nconcerts and the damage to the\nfloor gives them a solid rationale to\nrefuse them.\"\nHe said when he heard about the\ndamage in September, he told both\nthe department of physical education and Physical Plant that the\nAMS would invest in upgrading the\nfloor to allow \"multi-uses for the\nfacility.\"\n\"They never called me,\" he said.\nHaller said he had not heard of\nthe AMS offer. When asked what\nhe thought of the idea, he said\n\"that's not their perogative.\"\nprevention of AIDS \u00E2\u0080\u0094 will follow a\nmonth long survey conducted by\nthe ministries of health and education and is expected to be implemented this fall.\nTivey said he has not received\ndetails of the program, but that it\nshould be formulated in consultation with health officials, and be\nuniform for school districts across\nthe province. He said he is opposed\nto individual districts creating their\nown procedures.\n\"There may be a conservative\ngroup that could pressure a district\nnot to talk about condoms,\" said\nTivey. \"We don't want watered-\ndown programs.\"\nAl Sjerdal, a counsellor at Vancouver's Magee High School, said\nthe school system has a responsibility to inform students about the\ndangers of the disease.\n\"If you're teaching a kid to\ndrive, then you should warn them\nabout the danger areas.\"\nAlthough AIDS education has\nnot been a priority of the school's\nsex education program, Sjerdal said\nstudents discuss the problems\nassociated with the virus openly and\nin a casual atmosphere.\nA four-year UBC study on the\ntransmission of AIDS showed that\nB.C. has the highest number of\nAIDS cases per capita in the country.\nMartin Schechter, assistant professor of epidemeology who headed\nthe study, said Thursday education is \"the only way\" for people to\nprevent the transmission of the\nAIDS virus.\nHe welcomed the premier's new\nsex education program, saying it\nshould be introduced as quickly as\npossible.\n\"If we act now and decisively in\neducating the population, we could\navoid a disaster,\" said Schechter.\nTivey said AIDS Vancouver is\npreparing educational guidelines on\nthe disease for submission to the\nprovincial government.\nHe said he is encouraged that\npeople are becoming more aware of\nthe problems associated with AIDS\nand that parents are calling for\ngreater discussion on the issue.\n\"They're saying I want my kid to\nlive.\"\nCFS report shows aid program in crisis\nBy SVETOZAR KONTIC\nB.C.'s student aid program is\ncompletely inadequate, according\nto a recently released report from\nThe Canadian Federation of\nStudents.\nThe task force report, compiled\nwith input from college and university administrators, students, and\nbankers, said the provincial government is not doing enough to help\nB.C. students. The report was\nbroken down into several major\ncategories:\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Economic barriers\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Debt loads\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Repayment and default on loans\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Lack of government funding\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Awards reflecting achievement\nrather than need\nCFS researcher Roseanne Moran\nsaid the main economic barriers to\nstudents are the cost of living, high\ntuition fees, low wages and high\nunemployment.\n\"One out of every five B.C.\nstudents did not find work at the\nheight of Expo last year so we're\nquite concerned about the future,\"\nshe said.\nMoran said more students attending Douglas College are applying\nfor student aid than for admission.\nShe said the elimination of the\nbursary program in 1984 has\ncreated skyrocketing debt loads for\nstudents.\nThe average student debt load for\nan eight month term in 1981 was\n$1,356, which jumped to $3,102 in\n1985, an increase of more than 130\nper cent.\nJames Rae, assistant deputy\nminister to Stan Hagen, the\nminister of advanced education and\njob training, refused to comment\non the report. Hagen was out of the\nprovince and unavailable for comment.\nDarlene Marzari, New\nDemocratic Party critic for advanced education, said the provincial\ngovernment will react eventually.\n\"We'll be looking for some\nmodest proposals (from the\nSocreds) but nothing comprehensive enough to address the cutbacks\nin university funding,\" she said.\nMoran said the provincial\ngovernment has been doing a lot of\ntalking about loan remissions but it\njust isn't helping enough.\nShe said students are being forced\ninto an untenable situation because\nthey are not getting enough information about their loans. Page 4\nTHE UBYSSEY\nFriday, January 30, 1987\nIncitement\nPresident Strangway made a good point yesterday when he said that \"a real outcry is needed to\ndeal with the whole set of (university) funding issues.\" After all, why should the government take\nstudents' concerns seriously when most students don't even express those concerns?\nDr. Strangway was justifiably disappointed when only a handful of students showed up to discuss\nthe proposed tuition hike in what he had hoped would be an open dialogue between students and the\nadministration. The message came across loud and clear: students aren't interested in being involved\nin the administration of the university, and they don't worry about tuition fees.\nIs it really true that students don't care what happens to B.C. universities, or even to their own hard-\nearned money? It seems unlikely. More probably our apparent apathy is due to a belief that the government and our administration don't care what we think or say, and that we are powerless to effect\nchange.\nBesides, we might argue, we elected the Alma Mater Society to represent us to the government and\nto the university administration; communicating our problems is their responsibility. They know the\nproblems faced by students \u00E2\u0080\u0094 they have the facts, they have the power; why should we have to stage\nmass protests to get our message across?\nUnfortunately the AMS is not fighting very hard to address current funding issues. It often takes a\nmass student protest to convince even them to take a stance on an issue (i.e. the proposed boycott of\nSouth African products).\nSo it looks like it's up to us to voice our own concerns.\nThat could be a good thing. If students are unhappy about inadequate funding, meagre student aid\nprograms, limited accessibility, and rising tuition fees, there is probably no more effective way to express that displeasure than a good old-fashioned unified protest movement. Just like in Beijing.\nHopefully the newly formed Students for Universally Accessible Education are planning to organize\nsuch a campaign, uniting all the different views on campus in a single cause: self-preservation.\nHopefully the students will shed their apathy and rally to the cause.\nWe use this space often enough to complain about the inadequacies in post-secondary education. .\n.you're probably tired of hearing it. This week we want to strike a more positive note and encourage\nstudents to fight against the government policies that threaten to destroy our university.\nWe endorse Dr. Strangway's call for students to cry out against funding cuts.\nfr-JEMifR V*no\u00C2\u00A3K?ALrv\\nFop All wh^t\n*S?\ni \u00E2\u0080\u00A2< x\nCAROUSEL\nDirection & Choreography Musical Direction by\nNORMAN LEGGATT DAVID SMITH\nJANUARY 29 \u00E2\u0080\u0094 FEBRUARY 7\nUBC OLD AUDITORIUM 8 P.M.\nTICKETS: $6.00 Students/Seniors AMS Box Office\n$8.00 Adults 228-5656/228-6902\nTRUE CHROME AT THIS PRICE!\nLarry's Not Kidding!!\nEXTRA 10% OFF\nWITH AMS CARD\nI Ii\nCASE OF 10\n$25\n2053 WEST 41st AVE.\nVANCOUVER\n/aware nTTs7 263-0878\nplayfulness, anger and gentleness\nalong the way.\nThis work also has just the right\namount of humour as the\nmischievous child struggles from\nthe beginning and finally succeeds\nin getting into her sister's lipstick.\nThe TIDE dancers dive into pure\ndrama with Casting The First Stone\nwhich presents a long drawn out\nbuy potent insight into sex and\nreligion.

Together they are\nout to break traditional forms of\nexpression in poetry and extend the\nrealm of that poetry and its influences into the community at\nlarge.\ninterview\nWith Adeena Karasick, Kedrick\nJames, and Wreford Miller,\nThree poets who perform as, and\nedit a periodical called,\nANERCA\nThe three formed ANERCA last\nFebruary in response to what they\nsaw as a narrow-minded view of the\nphysical qualities of words and\nsounds in contemporary poetry.\nThey began a small press company\nin James' basement, to publish people who, because of their alternative\nideas, had difficulty getting\npublished in other magazines.\n\"We became totally disgruntled\nbecause we weren't allowed to explore the meanings of the poems,\"\nsays James, explaining the frustration he, Miller and Karasick experienced in searching for a forum\nto express their own approaches to\npoetry, \"We wanted poetry to take\non the feel of the word through a\ncollapse of narrative structure.\"\nMiller further explains the\ngroup's approach, \"The elements\nof logical stories are subverted in\norder to point out where other\nelements can take the reader. The\nproblem is it doesn't work for all\npeople. The images must be thought\nMILLER, JAMES, KARASICK . . . challenging poetry in perodical and performance.\nRebel poets on campus\non and interpreted by the individual, so it poses more of a\nchallenge.\"\nJames adds, \"It's an obsessive\nthing. The whole page is a moving\npicture upon which you try to\nsculpture words.\"\nIn performance, ANERCA takes\na \"proprioceptive\" approach to\npoetry says Karasick, which enables\nthe audience to take the reception\nof the consciousness of words and\ntheir images through the body.\nWhen reading live, as at The\nWestern Front on January 22, all\nthree artists like to theatricize their\nwork, exploring various sounds and\ntextures to encourage the audience\nnot only to make pictures by hearing, but by feeling also. What they\nlack in technique, stemming from\ntheir inexperience, they more than\nmake up for in enthusiasm.\nAlthough ANERCA receives support from the Vancouver community at large, and have received submissions from as far away as India,\nChina, and Hong Kong, they have\nreceived no funding for their project from UBC. The university's\nresponse to their ideas has been\nlukewarm at best, they say.\n\"The academic field tends to\ncommend us on our energy, but\nthey are not really condoning what\nwe are tying to do,\" says James.\nThe publications and public performances are entirely the work of\nthe poets themselves. Determined\nand dedicated, they have completely immersed themselves in their\nwork, as writers, editors, and performers.\nThe three members of ANERCA\n8**.-\nBy The Sea\nSurf n Ski\nCONTEST\nYour fantasy can come true.\nGRAND PRIZE\nTrip for two\nto Hawaii\n3 WEEKLY DRAWS\nFor APEX ALPINE\nSki Package\nWinning can be easy...

They are inspired,\nthey say, by such artists as bill\nbissett, bp Nichol, Louis Zukofsky,\nand Charles Olson.\nAn expansion into other conceptual visual experiments involving\nmime and theatre might be a\nnatural course to follow. But all\nthree artists say they'd like to stick\nto poetry at least for the moment.\n\"We'd just like to continue\nwriting, while exploring the boundaries of what writing can mean.\nWe don't see an end to it. It's very\nimportant to us to keep reading in\nfront of an audience though. Poetry\nbegan as an oral tradition, a release\nof energy. We want to work back to\nthat concept,\" Karasick says.\nANERCA is now only beginning\nto see beyond the walls that restrict\ncontemporary writing. Their innovative style of art appears to be\nforging a new road for progressive\npoetry in the future.\nTo receive more information, to\nget a hold of an issue, or to submit\nyour own work, write to ANERCA,\n3989 Arbutus St., Vancouver, B.C.\nV6J 4T2.\nUBC\nTCK\nH E\nX-C-E \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 L- L-E-N\nE AT E\niY\nFREE BUR6\n%\nTHE GOOD DEAL IS YOUR LEAST EXPENSIVE BURGER IS FREE WHEN\nTWO ARE ORDERED.

Yeah, I've heard\nof him \u00E2\u0080\u0094 hot blues guitarist, right?\nBut his shows are kinda lightweight\nand repetitive, aren't they?\"\nmusic\nColin James\nThe Town Pump\nJanuary 27, 28\nNot anymore. At the Town\nPump last weekend, Colin James\nadded some new numbers and\naltered some old ones to overcome\nthe problems his sets used to have.\nDon't worry, James still plays\nthat 50's-style country-blues like\nfew others can. James and his band\nhave mastered that music and made\nit the foundation of their shows.\nHowever, James has finally\nfound the courage to take some\nrisks, to stray outside his established territory. All the numbers in his\nset had a bluesy sound, but some\ndrew their material from other\nmusical styles.\nFor instance, Why'd Ya Hurt had\na distinct reggae rhythm \u00E2\u0080\u0094 quite a\nchange from the usual basic blues\nthe band plays. Other tunes like\nBreakin',and Big Chef had a jazzy,\nbig city sound to them; they contrasted well with the more rural\nsound of James' other^numbers.\nJames also played some slower\nblues tunes, like Hard Luck and the\nbeautiful, poignant Baton Rouge,\nwith a lot of soul. James has started\nto feel his songs as well as play\nthem.\nThe variety James added to his\nset gave the blues numbers greater\nimpact; they no longer sound the\nsame. James and company can fly\nthrough hard, raucous blues like I\nHear You Knock or Ridin' Moon,\nor bounce through the light, fun\nnumbers like Mighty, A Little Bit,\nand She's Tough.\nWith his biggest problems solved,\nJames is certainly on the verge of a\nmajor breakthrough, especially if\nhe keeps his talented band together.\nThe rhythm section (Darrel Mayes\non drums, Mark Weston on bass)\nprovides the power for this unit,\nand demonstrates some unique\ntalents in their soles. Johnny Ferreira on sax may turn out to be just\nas much of a draw as James \u00E2\u0080\u0094 not\nonly is he technically astounding, he\nalso pours his soul into his instrument.\nThe whole band gave an infectious mood to the proceedings \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthey all looked like they were having the time of their lives. The only\nexception was Rick Hopkins on\nkeyboards. Then again, if you were\nso far down in the mix that no one\ncould hear you, you might not be\nthe life of the party either.\nColin James could always keep\nhis audiences in rapture purely on\ntechnique \u00E2\u0080\u0094 for about fifteen\nminutes. Now, thanks to some\nmaturity (at the ripe old age of 22)\nand a lot of stage experience, James\nfinally knows how to handle an audience.\nJAMES\naudiences kept in rapture.\nMozarf s enduring marriage\nDENNIS PETERSON, SWENSON,\nsiderable depth and substance.\nBy CHRIS FRASER\nBased on the second play in\nBeaumorchais' Figaro triology,\nMozart's opera is often considered\nthe pinnacle of the \"opera buffa\"\ngenre. On the surface this is true:\nwith many uproarious comic interludes and nonsensical plot convolutions, it chronicles the efforts\nof the irrepressible Figaro to marry\nhis beloved Susanna in the face of\ninnumerable obstacles.\nHowever, this vision of the opera\nreveals only a fragment of its content, because it both ignores the\nsocial and political implications it\nhad when first performed, and\ntends to trivialize Mozart's insight\nWILLIAM SHIMELL.\ncon-\ninto the common experiences and\npassions which are essential to the\ndefining of our human identities.\nFortunately, director David\nWalsh has avoided the limitations\nof a purely \"opera buffa\" interpretation of Mozart's Figaro. The\nresult is an excellent production,\nwith considerable depth and\nsubstance, without sacrificing the\n\"opera buffa's\" appealing light\ncomedy.\nThe social and political overtones\nof the opera are emphasized well by\nthe production. The guileful out-\nmanouevering of Count Almaviva\nby his servant Figaro, and his wife,\nwere unheard of events in the\npatriarchal feudalism of eighteenth\ncentury Vienna. Mozart's score\nstrengthens this rebellious message\nof the plot by giving bolder, more\npowerful arias to Figaro, and much\nmore exquisite melodicarias to\nCountess Almaviva and Susanna,\nleaving the Count arias which are\npleasant enough, but in comparison\nto those of the other leads, lack\ncharacter and intensity.\nDirector Walsh cleverly augments\nthis theme and the fate of the Count\nby having him stoop awkwardly\nbeneath a ladder during his ' 'grand\nentrance\" on stage in Act I.\nMozart's score bursts with\ngenius.

This clearly is\nintended to suggest the conflicts\nand other interactions stemming\nfrom the interplay of these timeless\nemotional themes which are as relevant today as they were in Mozart's\ntime.\nTo be successful, this demanding\nmusical communication requires\noutstanding musicians. This is exactly what is provided by conductor\nKees Bakels and the orchestra.
