That is\nwhy'Caddy1 is such a challenge.\nTd like to investigate these accounts and see what is behind\nthe mystery,\" LeBlond said.\n'Caddy* is a \"sea monster\",\nor rather a \"Cadbc-rosaurus\",\nnamed after Cadboro Bay on\nVancouver Island, where many\nsightings of the alleged creature have taken place, especially\nin the 1920s and 1930s.\nCaddy, if it is real, is a\ncousin ofthe Loch Ness Monster\nofScotlandandOgopogoofLake\nOkanagan. The creature is a\ncrypt-id\", which is a zoological\nterm for a animal that could\nexist, but is still \"hidden\" as\nevidence for its existence is inconclusive.\nLeBlond and Ed Bousfield,\na researcher for the Royal BC\nMuseum in Victoria, are looking into accountsof Caddy's \"existence\" and have co-written an\nacademic paperon Caddy, which\nthey will present at a joint conference \u00C2\u00ABthe Canadian and\nAmerij\u00C2\u00BBj|'SoiJaetiae of Zoology in\nVanca&wMtt* month. No research psgl#i* jaanaed,^%y\nhope to enwmra-fflt-Bsctwt^ifeaat\nthe possible creature.\n\"We are basically reviewing\nthe evidence and we summarize\nwhat weThink of the sightings,\"\nLeBlond said. \"I can't say the creature definitely exists, but the evidence that we have here for the\nCadborosaurus is much more complete than that for the existence of\nthe Loch Ness Monster and\nOgopogo.\"\n\"All photos and sightings of\nthe Loch Ness Monster are rather\nfuzzy in details, while for Caddy,\nwe have enough of a description\nthat we can surmise what it looks\nlike and its lifestyle, if it is real.\nThere are more sightings and better ones at close range with details\nof anatomical features,\" he said.\nLeBlond has been researching the Cadborosaurus as a hobby\nsince the early \91Q\u00C2\u00A3XX..\n\"I don't think Ij^Bjigmy\ntime... This reseaWh ilfnot only\nfun, it also has a serious purpose. I\nhope that by asking enough pertinent questions, we can find more\nevidence to perhaps tiling this\ncreature into the realm \u00C2\u00ABf|(Nrtllly,*i\nhe said.\n\"Who knows what might be\nthere? One doesnt have to say\nwhether a creature definitely exists before speculating on the merits of what sort of evidence is there\nand what you still need.\"\nEd Bousfield, who co-wrote\nthe paper with LeBlond,isaformer\nresearcher with the National Museum of Ottawa. Now retired and\nworking part-time at the Royal\nBCMuseum,hisinterestin Caddy\nbegan several years ago when researching fossils in Yoho National\nPark.\npictures have so many details ofthe\nsurrounding area that it is improbable they were faked.\nThe whale had swallowed what\nBousfield believes to be a young\nCadborosaurus. Ithad a small horse\nor camel shaped head, with ridges\nbehind its head. The creature had\nfour flippers and a forked tail.\nThen in 1968, whaling captain\nor dead.\nIn their paper, Bousfield and\nLeBlond describe adult\nCadborosauruses, assuming they\nexist, as follows: Caddy is 40-50\nfeet long and weighs two to three\ntons. It has a small head, with a\nseven to 14 foot neck covered with\nhair like coconut fibres. Its head\nmay have two small horns above\nHe found an unusual fossil\nthere of a tiny animal that was a\ncross between a worm and a\nshrimp, with an elephantine trunk\nthat ended in a claw like a pair of\npliers.\nBousfield thought he had\ncome up with a possible relative to\nthe famous Loch Ness Monster,\nand decided to follow up on it. He\neventually found no ties between\nthe two cryptids, but in the process came across a large file of old\nnewspaper clippings on Caddy that\na former curator of the Royal BC\nMuseum had compiled.\n\"I was hooked,\" Bousfield said.\n\"The material was like manna from\nheaven for a researcher. It posed a\nvery interesting problem, namely\nwhat is this creature, if it exists,\nand how can we find out more\nabout it?\"\nThere have been dozens of\nsightings of Caddy in the past\ncouple of centuries and a creature *\nlike C&dffc appears in west coast\nNative folMWe. Two significant\nsightings of 'faddy were by whal-\ne\u00C2\u00ABiniK^|j\u00C2\u00BBli\u00C2\u00A7J968, according to\ngreat the Naden\nrbour l&aling station in the\nQueen Charlotte Islands opened\nup the stomach of a sperm whale.\nInside they found an odd creature\nthat none of them had ever seen\nbefore. Two photos of the 10 foot\nsea animal were taken, and the\nWilliam Hagelund was fishing in\nthe Gulf Islands when he captured\na small unknown animal in his net.\nThe animal, possibly a baby\nCadborosaurus, was 16 inches long,\nabout 1 to 11/2 inches in diameter.\nIt had a three inch long head, with\na hooked upper jaw and tiny teeth.\nIt had plate scales, and skin that\nwas black and brown on the top of\nthe body and yellow with fuzz on\nthe bottom.\nHagelund felt sorry for the\ncreature, which was thrashing\naround in a bucket full of water on\nthe deck. So he released it back into\nthe water. Hegelund was the last\nperson to capture a \"Caddy\", alive\nand behind the eyes, which are\nlarge and luminous. Its trunk is\nbigger than its neck and tail, and\nithasfour flippers. Its tail is forked\nlike a whale's.\nCaddy swims at about\nmiles per hour, according to\ncouple who were driving ale\nOregon coastline in early\nand were surprised to find a\n\"Caddy\" swimming parallel to,\ntheir car in the ocean. X something that will\nCaddy eats small, fast-swim- whtl-^ I feel,\" he\nming fishes, shrimp and squid*\njudging by the type of neck ftfMl\nhead that it has. It lives deep in\nthe ocean, usually below 1,000\nfeet, which is probably why, if it\nexists, it is hard to spot. It would be\nable to breathe underwater.\nBousfield points to the patterns\nof sightings as significant. Of the\nsightings he has compiled, 73 per cent\nof summer sightings (from April to\nSeptember) were in the Strait of\nGeorgia and Gulf Islands, while 69\nper cent of winter sightings (from\nOctober to March) were near the outer\ncoasts of Vancouver Island, Oregon and Washington.\n\"This implies that we have creatures that are moving from place\nto place from season to season. If\nthese are sightings oflogs, as some\nhave suggested, then we have logs\nthat are migrating,\" Bousfield\nsaid.\nTm flabbergasted that this creature has defied scientific investigation for all this time. Nobody\nhas pursued it. Unfortunately, fear\nof ridicule has resulted in a lack of\nserious scientific attention to why\nthese sightings have taken place,\"\nhe said.\nOf course, any story about a creature like a Cadborosaurus requires\ncomments from scientists other\nthan LeBlond. Just try to find one\nthat will talk, however.\nZoology, Biology and Oceanography faculties from SPUin Burnaby\nto the University of California at\nLos Angeles, were sayingthatthey\n\"dont have anybody\" in their faculty that could discuss whether\nCaddy exists or not last week.\nThe reaction of a receptionist at\nthe University of Washington in\nSeattle was typical. \"There's nobody here who cares about those\nlittle creatures, dear.\"\nLeBlond admits that he is occasionally teased about his hobby, but\nsays most scientists understand his\nscientific interest in the\nCadborosaurus phenomenon.\n\"Scientists are willing to explore\nues like this. Science is often an\nJoration of the mysterious and\nown.

They wish they are what\nthey aren't and what, incidentally, they believe the other is.\nThe movie drips with irony.\nThey both dread their annual\ndinner, while at the same time\nbelieving that the other is\neagerly anticipating the meeting.\nThey receive the same advice\nfrom the same psychiatrist about\nLensibly, Jane and Antonia are\nopposite*. Arriving at the\npsychiatrists, we see Antonia\u00E2\u0080\u0094\ntall, blonde, immaculate and\nsleek, she exudes success.\nLeaving the psychiatrist's, we\nsee Jane. With her heavy glasses\nand fuzzy hair, she is a nonconformist who is tiie antithesis\nof sleek. But, beneath these\nsuperficial differences, their\nsimilarities become apparent to\nthe audience.\nThey see each other through\nthe distortion of their own egos,\nsimplifying tiie other to epitomize what they lack. By contrast,\nwe see the two of them as\ncomplex. The simple structure\nand the obvious parallels\nunderscore their complexity and\ncontribute to the humour ofthe\nfilm.\n\"Antonia and Jane\" is a light\nbut substantial movie filled with\nsmart and engaging humour.\nNeil Diamond\nDouglas Ferris\nDiamond, a 24 carat rocker!\nSo I was sitting in my local\nafter the Neil Diamond concert\nand John said that the first time\nhe'd heard \"Cracklin' Rosie\", he'd\nbeen taking a crap.

Why are you\nlaughing at me? I mean, I didn't\nexpect punkers to stage dive but\nI wouldn't have been surprised to\nhave seen stacks of fainted baby-\nboomers around the stage.\nMaia and I had stood outside\nselling-I guess they call it\nscalping- \"if you go into labour\nduring the performance you'll\nneed an extra ticket\". \"Really?\",\nhe asked. \"No\", I said (you're not\neven pregnant).\nHe sang the first song he\never wrote and Maia said \"Check\nout those hips!\", the woman next\nto her giggled giving her a look\nas if to say \"thafs why we're\nhere honey\".

He sang\nPlay Me, and we noticed a\nwoman three rows away from\nthe stage goggling him with her\nbinoculars. The audience sang\nalong, screamed or smiled\nindulgently at the stage. The\nwoman with the binoculars just\nkept staring at him. He asked,\n\"Are you ready?\", the crowd\nscreamed, \"Yes\" but I secretly\nknew that he was singing to me\nalone.

Blasioli tracks the\nefforts of a number of New York\nbased paparazzi, the folks who\njump out from behind potted\npalms and snap pictures of a\npreening Madonna.\nNo one can argue that\ncelebrities and the media dont\nneed each other (few would even\nsuggest that they dont deserve\neach other); however, you've got\nto wonder what possesses people\nto act this way. To his credit,\nBlasioli doesn't judge either his\nsubjects or his subject's subjects.\nHis camera gazes evenly at\nMichael J. Fox, his wife and\nbaby running for their lives from\nthe pack of cameras and at the\nincreasingly pathetic Sally\nKirkland who provides a\ndissertation on how to position\nher creaking zaftig frame for\nmaximum effect (vava voom)\n\"There's not a lot of actresses\naround who have my overt\nsensuality.\"\nThe paparazzi themselves\ncome in many varieties, from the\ncooly professional US magazine\nphotographer to the aggressive\nhustler and freelancer Victor\nMalafronte, by far the most\ncompelling figure in the film\n(this guy complains when he\naccidentally gets a shot of Spike\nLee, \"You cant even give his\npicture away.\") We follow\nWine and Love On The Rocks.

The crowd\nswayed drunkenly back and\nforth to Song Sung Blue and\nMoney Talks, screaming their\nadoration to the very end. On the\nway home we paid a fan(atic) a\nquarter to look at his programme\nwhile he bitched about the duet\nof You Dont Bring Me Flowers\nbecause his back up singer\nwasn't the woman the song was\nwritten about.\nI looked around the table\nand everyone was looking away,\nno longer listening to me (damn\nthem), except for Ken who asked\nwhere he appeared in this\nreview.

Fraternity\nNational Offices have all issued\npolicy statements to their members\nstating that violence against women\nwill not be tolerated. This refusal to\ntolerate violence against others dates\nback to the 1950's, when James Dean\nwas thrown out of Sigma Nu at UCLA\nfor provoking a fight with a female\nparty guest.\nA Fraternity is more than a\nhouse of men throwing parties. It is\ncomposed of students working for\nscholarship and philanthropy. It is\nan atmosphere that challenges each\nindividual to personal success, and\nthe proof of this can be seen in alumni\nmembership. Since the Civil War, 17\nofthe 23 UJ3. Presidents have been\naffiliated with Greek Letter Societies. MacKenzie King was a Kappa\nAlpha, and Lester Pearson was a\nmember of Delta Upsilon. Sam\nDonaldson is a Kappa Sigma, as is\nBob Dole. Neil Armstrong is a Phi\nDelta Theta. Archibald Leach,\nthree time Pulitzer prize winner,\nis a Psi Upsilon member. Leomard\nBernstein is a Zeta Beta Tau.\nNathanial Hawthorne and Howard\nJohnson are DEKES. James Brady\nand David Letterman are both\nSigma Chi.\nIn her letter, Ms. Foran refers\nto having been repeatedly sexually\nharassed, at \"various Fraternity\nSocial Events.\"\nIf you have had a problem, at\nany event on campus, contact the\npolice, because this behaviour is\nillegal, and blame the individual.\nGeneralization is a dangerous\nthing, because it breeds prejudice.\nNot all Fraternities are the same,\nbecause they are made up of individuals, and it is an individual you\nhad a problem with, and not his\nNational Fraternal affiliation. I\nquestion your motivation; you say\nthat you were repeatedly the victim of \"unwanted sexual\ncontact...agressive and frightening.\" Why then did you keep going\nback? I question the validity of\nyour accusations based on this,\nand the fact that you don't specify\nwhen these attacks occurred.\nI too have attended many Fraternity functions over the years,\nwhere I have drunk much cheap\nbeer, met some great friends (male\nand female), and met my husband\nand I haven't witnessed the\nbehaviour you describe.\nKristin Danfbrth Yates\nClassical Studies 3\n\v*****ts\n(GUZD)\nBANDS START AT 9:30 PM\nALWAYS FREE TO\nUBC STUDENTS\nFOR MORE INFO CALL\n822-6273\nSV.\nyv*\n. y^z\nyw>^*. y&\nyv<\n<**JL~\nPhantoms\nfrom Toronto\nStigmata\nWindwalker\nJho Nek Bhone\nfrom Victoria\nTwo Left Feet\n6/THE UBYSSEY\nNovember 3,1992 *%*&%\nOregon citizens face vote on homophobic legislation\nby DavU Chaney with Yukie\nKurahashi\nPORTLAND\u00E2\u0080\u0094Oregon citizens\nvote today on Measure Nine, an\namendment to the Oregon state\nconstitution which would declare\nhomosexual behaviour and any\npositive references to homosexuality \"abnormal, wrong, unnatural\nand perverse.''\nProposed by the ultraright-\nwing Oregon Citizens Alliance,\nMeasure Nine, if passed, will ban\ncivil liberties on the basis of sexual\norientation, public libraries will be\nforced to remove materials deemed\n\"perverse,\" and all new book acquisitions would have to follow the\nsame guidelines.\nIn addition, all government\nagencies and public schools will be\nrequired to take active measures\nto discourage homosexual\nbehaviour and education about\nhomosexuality, union contracts\nwith nondiscrimination clauses on\nsexual orientation will be invali-\ndated, AIDS clinics couldbe closed,\nand homosexual individuals could\nbe denied use of'pnblic facilities\nbased solely on their sexual orientation.\nAccording to David Smith, a\npsychiatrist at Oregon Health and\nSciences University medical school,\n\"Measure Nine would cause censorship of factual medical information [taught] at the medical\nschool.\"\nLawrence Hartman, president\nofthe American Psychiatric Association, wrote, Theballotmeasure\nis extraordinarily biased and\nclearly designed not to educate but\nto mislead and scare readers. Ifs\nnot just non-science, but flagrant\nanti-science.\"\nThe wording of Measure Nine\nThe major components ofthe\nconstitutional amendment proposed in Measure Nine are as follows:\n(1) This state shall not recognize any\ncategorical provision such as 'sexual\norientaiion/'sexual preference,' and\nsimilar phrases that includes homosexuality, pedophilia, sadism or\nmasochism...\n(2) State, regional and local governments and their properties and\nmonies shall not be used to promote, encourage or facilitate homosexuality, pedophilia, sadism or\nmasochism.\n(3) State, regional and local governments and their departments,\nagencies and other entities, including specifically the State Department of Higher Education and the\npublic schools, shall assist in setting\na standard for Oregon's youth that\nrecognizes homosexuality,\npedophilia, sadism and masochism\nas abnormal, wrong, unnatural and\nperverse and that these behaviours\nare to be discouraged and avoided.\nThe language ofthe measure\nis at once broad and unclear. The\nOCA's deliberate association of\nhomosexual behaviour with\npedophilia, which is a felony in\nOregon, has voters confused despite evidence that there is proportionately less pedophilia among\nhomosexual men than among heterosexual men.\nThe breadth of statement of\nthe proposed amendment has Oregon lawyers scrambling to determine just how liberally it might be\ninterpreted. Recently, the board of\ngovernors ofthe Oregon State Bar\nCommission issued a resolution\nopposing Measure Nine.\nEven as the OCA harps on the\nhorrors of homosexuality, they\nclaim not to be prejudiced against\npeople who are homosexual; they\nclaim, rather, that they support\nequality by means of denying \"special\" rights.\nIn a very real sense, the \"special\" rights that would be denied\ngays, lesbians and bisexuals by\nMeasure Nine would include\nhousing, employment, and eating\nin public restaurants.\nPrograms to be banned\nunder Measure Nine\nAmong the projects that would\nbe banned under Measure Nine\nare the counseling programs in\nsome Oregon schools which help\nstudents cope with emerging confusion about gender roles. These\nprojects have had notable success\nin precluding major depression and\nsuicide in high school age homosexuals, both of which are significantly more common among young\ngays and lesbians than among\nyoung heterosexuals.\nUnder the terms of Measure\nNine, school counselors would be\nrequired to inform students\nstruggling with sexual identity that\nhomosexual tendencies are \"unnatural and perverse,\" and would\nhave to denounce any positive exploration of homosexuality.\n-**\u00E2\u0080\u00A2-\nIn a very real sense, the\n\"special\" rights that\nwould be denied gays,\nlesbians and bisexuals\nby Measure Nine would\ninclude housing,\nemployment, and eating\nin public restaurants.\nBooks such as The Color\nPurple, TheRedBadgeofCourage,\nHans Christian Anderson's Fairy\nTales, The Pink Triangle: the Nazi\nWar Against Homosexuals, and\nsuch publications such as\nPortland's Just Out and Twist\nwould be banned from schools and\npublic libraries on the basis of thei r\npositive depiction of, or references\nto homosexuality.\nActivities intended to \"discourage\" homosexuality would be\nencouraged and promoted.\nOpposition to Measure Nine\nNo on Nine Committee organizer Scott Nakagawa suggested\nthat the necessarily reactive nature of his group's efforts appear to\n\"mirror whatthey say\u00E2\u0080\u0094thatis, that\nwe do want gay rights, not democratic civil rights.\"\nPeggy Norman, head of the\nNo on Nine effort, said \"Oregon is\nso tolerant that we allow people on\nthe fringe to have a big effect on\nthe debate. No one tells anyone\nthat their ideas are uncomfortable.\"\nPortland, with its urban\nsprawl, has become thoroughly\nembroiled in the controversy surrounding Measure Nine. The proliferation of pink triangles, buttons, bumperstickers and signs\nsaying \"No on 9,\" \"Hate is not a\nfamily value,\" and \"Straight, but\nnot narrow\" shows a surprising\npolitical involvement on the parts\nofPortlanders.\nUp to 10,000 people have been\ngathering in downtown Portland\nevery weekend for more than a\nmonth for rallies and speeches\nprotesting Measure Nine.\nThe Portland State University administration, in an unexpected show of political conviction,\nhas vowed civil disobedience in the\nevent that Measure Nine passes.\nAlso among the prominent\nopponents of Measure Nine are\nthe public libraries. For the past\nmonth, the Portland Central Library has featured a large display\non the censorship that will probably occur if the measure is passed.\nThe members of the Oregon\nLibrary Association have been\namong the staunchest and most\nsteadfast opponents of Measure\nNine since its announcement. Friday, October 23rd, thousands of\nlibrarians from across the state\ngathered with supporters in Portland to march through downtown\nPortland to the central library.\nPresidential hopeful Bill\nClinton, however, disappointed\nvoters opposed to Nine by refusing\nto wear a \"No on 9\" button and by\nfailing to mention the measure in\nhis public speech. Reverend Jesse\nJackson, on the other hand, vehemently denounced the measure\nduring his campaign to support\nthe Democratic party.\nViolence and vandalism\nPortland police report a 20 per\ncent increase in unprovoked at\ntacks on bi- and homosexuals since\nthe inception ofthe Measure Nine\ncontroversy, but independent\ngroups estimate an increase of up\nto 300 per cent.\nVandalism to the headquarters of the Campaign for a Hate-\nfree Oregon on June 9th was mentioned only briefly in the news and\nwas buried in a small article on\ncontinued on page 8\nH t I\nWe invite you to join us for our series\nof Fall events featuring:\nNOV 4: Brian Foley for EFI on the \"Importance of Surge\nProtection\" featuring \"Triple Crown Warranty\"\n(Tuesday) Jackie Haliburton of Angel Hand Painted Fashion will be\nNOV 10: giving a fabric painting demonstration\nNOV 18: Linda Svendsen on her new book Marine Life,\n& Jerry Newman on his book Sudden Proclamation\nNOV 2 5: Customer Appreciation Day 1992\nFree gift wrapping service,\nrefreshments and 10% off\nselected items.\nJC^vents are held at UBC Bookstore,\nWednesdays at 12:30 pm.\nRefreshments will be available.\nBOOKSTORE\n6200 University Boulevard tr 822-2665\n-kXi\nPREPARATION FOR FIRST-YEAR ENGLISH\n& THE LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY INDEX (LPI)\nThe University Writing Centre offers one-term non-credit courses in writing to\nstudents who wish to enrol in first-year English courses but who have yet to achieve\na level 5 or 6 on the Language Proficiency Index (LFI).
