" Brandt warns arms race spells 1980s danger\nBy TOM HAWTHORN\nThe world will face serious\ncatastrophes in the 1980s if\ndetente fails between the U.S. and\nthe Soviet Union, Willy Brandt,\nSocialist International president\nand former West German\nchancellor, said Friday.\n\"If mankind wants to survive in\nthe 1980s without serious\ncatastrophes, it cannot go on as it\nhas done in the past. Just imagine\nwhat the outcome would be if\narms expenditures, which at the\nmoment stand at over $400 billion\n.a year, were to double or even\ntriple in real terms,\" Brandt told\nover 200 delegates to the Socialist\nInternational gathering in\nVancouver on the weekend.\n\"The two nuclear world powers\ncarry a particular responsibility in\nthe field of armament policy.\nThey are called upon to be the\npeacemakers of armament control\nand arms limitation. They will\nhave to live up to this role more\nadequately than they have done\nup to the present.\"\nBrandt said the coming of a\nnew cold war between East and\nWest could plunge the world into\na period of dangerous confrontation.\n\"Efforts which have been made\nfor years to reach agreement in\nthe field of strategic arms\nlimitation policy between these\ntwo countries have so far met with\nlimited success,\" he said.\nBrandt also called for the\nratification of SALT II (Strategic\nArms Limitation Talks)\nagreements to stabliize the\nmilitary security situation in\nEurope.\n\"A very critical fact is the\nincreasing development of arms\nthat are not included in either\nthe negotiations between the\nnuclear world powers or in the\nVienna talks. This increases the\nrisk that, although we might reach\na certain amount of limitation of\ntroops and arms on the one hand,\nthere might be an increase in\narmaments in other channels.\"\nPeace must be the overriding\nissue in the world because \"the\nconsequences of a great war are\nalmost beyond imagination,\" he\nsaid.\nBrandt, 64, was unanimously\nre-elected president of the\nSocialist International and will\nserve until 1980. Bernt Carlsson\nwas reelected general secretary.\nThe three-day congress was\nheld at the Hyatt-Regency in\ndowntown Vancouver. The\ncongress was the social\ndemocrats' 14th and the first\nheld outside of Europe in over a\ncentury.\nBrandt warned that the fate of\nThird World nations depended on\nthe realization of peace and the\nlimitations of arms development\nand expenditures.\nSee page 3: DETENTE .\nTHC UBYSSEY\nVol. LXI, No. 24 VANCOUVER, B.C., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1978\n228-2301\nTimber baron\njoins council\nAH CANT BELIEVE we et the whole thang, drawls Atlanta Rhythm Section bassist Paul Goddard, left, to drummer Dean Daughtry.

Now\nit's the government. What does\nsome city dwelling civil, servant\nknow about Indian kinds living in\nthe bush?\" he asked 100 people in\nScarfe 100.\nThomas, former Manitoba\nregional education director, said he\nreturned to the Peguis Indian\nreserve near Winnipeg because he\n\"couldn't stand the present system\nany longer.\"\n\"In the provincial school system\nresources are based on the\ngovernment's idea of a balanced\nbudget. There is no sound\norganization at all. Selection of\npersonnel does not fit the native\nchild's needs,\" he said.\n\"There are no guidance\nprograms, no career counselling\ncourses. After a while you get tired\nof hammering politicians and civil\nservants in the head and decide it\nwould be easier to run things\nyourself.\"\nWhen he arrived at the Peguis\nreserve school, Thomas said he\ndiscovered a child who had been in\ngrade one for four years without\nreceiving any help. He later found\nthis was a common occurrence and\ncontinued through later grades.\n\"The government attitude\ntoward native education, especially\nin remote areas, seemed to be that if\nit was out of sight it was out of\nmind,\" he said.\nThomas said there used to be 50\nper cent attendance at the Peguis\nschool but since a program was\nintroduced to make the school more\nresponsive to native needs, attendance has risen to 80 per cent.\n\"We even have kids from other\nschools in the area wanting to come\nto Peguis now,\" he said.\nThomas traced the rise in concern\nfor native education to the overall\nrise in interest shown by native\npeople for their own problems.\n\"I was an aculturated Indian. I\ncouldn't even speak the language of\nmy parents because we weren't\nallowed to speak Cree in school,\"\nhe said. \"But I could never forget\nthat I was an Indian either because I\nwas always reminded damn soon\nthat I was.\"\nHe said it was older Indian\npeople who created an awareness\nwithin the native community that\nIndian\ncome.\nproblems could be over-\n\"They pointed out to us that we\nhave been around as a culture for\n40,000 years and that if we have\nsurvived this long we should be able\nto overcome the dilemmas we are\nfacing now. We have the inherent\nability to overcome our problems if\nwe use our wisdom and build on\nour heritage,\" he said.\nFormer deputy education\nminister Neil Perry and lumber\nbaron John Hetherington have\nbeen appointed to the Universities\nCouncil of B.C.\nThe appointment of Perry and\nHetherington is a positive step\ntowards greater university community involvement, according to\ncouncil chairman Bill Gibson.\n\"Up until now I've had no other\nacademics on the board. I'm very\nglad to have these people on the\nboard, I'll tell you,\" Gibson said\nMonday.\nIn a telephone interview from\nVictoria, Perry gave a simple explanation of the functions of\nUCBC.\n\"We will meet from time to time,\nand the general plan is to be the\nintermediary body between the\ngovernment and the university. We\ndiscuss the budget planning which\ngoes to the provincial government,\" he said Monday.\nSince he has spent so much tine\nin higher education, Perry said he\nthinks he will be a useful council\nmember.\nPerry has a long track record in\neducation and economics involvement. He set up the University\nof Victoria's school of public\nadministration, was dean cf\ncommerce and business at UBC,\nacting vice president of UBC in\n1963, an economist for the Bank of\nAbyssinia and the Bank of International Settlements and served\nin the federal treasury.\nHetherington, son-in-law of the\nlate John Buchanan, also has past\nassociations with the university. A\nUBC engineering graduate, he is an\nalumni association executive officer\nand has been involved with many\nfund-raising activities for students.\nHe is the current president of a\nwholesale lumber company, Ralph\nS. Plant limited. He is also former\npresident of the Canadian Forestry\nAssociation, which promotes\nstudent interest in forestry-related\njobs.\nNDP heavy TKOs Regina Tory boss\nREGINA (CUP) \u00E2\u0080\u0094 Saskatchewan Conservative party leader Dick Collver, whose Tories\nwere knocked out by the NDP in last month's\nelections, has been the recipient of a second, more\nphysical TKO.\nAccording to reports, Collver was dropped to the\nground by a roundhouse punch from an NDP\ncabinet minister after Collver allegedly called him a\n\"lying cunt.\"\nWes Robbins, the senior member of the Allan\nBlakeney cabinet, was walking through the\nlegislature buildings in Regina last week when he\ncame upon Collver, who was allegedly berating a\ncommissionaire who works in the buildings.\nAccording to reports Robbins told Collver that if\nhe could not deport himself in a more dignified\nmanner he should leave the building. Robbins and\nhis wife then left but Collver followed them out en\nthe steps of the legislature.\nIn the discussion that followed Collver called\nRobbins a \"lying cunt\". Robbins, who is much older\nthan Collver, punched him in the face, knocking him\nto the ground.\nCollver has been noted in the past for his erratic\nbehavior and statements.

This was so not\nbecause the political left has suddenly\nbecome one big happy family, but because\nthe International's leadership simply wanted\nto appear so.\nThe left has always been labeled as\nfractious. Its history is one of deep\nphilosophical splits, of a plethora of parties\nwith almost identical names and, to non-\nsocialists, almost imperceptible differences in\npolitical views.\nThe Socialist International, in fact, is a\nproduct of the 1919 split of the world\nsocialist movement into the Communist\nInternational and the social democratic\nmovement.\nActually, the left is no more disunited than\nany other patch of the political spectrum, but\nthe media, by nature business ventures and\nthus essentially antagonistic to the anti-\ncapitalist movement, have emphasized and\nexploited the left's splits and downplayed the\ndifferences of the political right.\nBut the fractured image has hurt the social\ndemocratic movement, a situation which\nInternational president Willy Brandt is\ndetermined to remedy. Consequently, the\nCongress was specifically designed as a\ndemonstration of solidarity among the\nworld's social democratic parties.\nRich nations\nare hypocritical\n- Olof Palme\nBy DICK BALE\nHypocritical western nations continue to\nsupport South Africa's apartheid regime\nfinancially while publically condemning the\ncountry's racist policies, Olof Palme, leader\nof the Swedish Social Democratic Party, said .\nSaturday.\n\"There has always been great hypocrisy in\nthe rich industrialized countries between our\ndeclared condemnation of apartheid and the\nconcrete relations that we still maintain with\nPretoria,\" said Palme.\nArms exports, capital investments and\nloans, transferrals of technology and the flow\nBRANDT ... SI president\nof mercenaries into South Africa must be\nstopped, he said.\nPalme also said it was necessary to increase\nthe support to Angola, Zambia, Botswana,\nMozambique and Tanzania and to rebel\norganizations in southern Africa.\nThe South West African People's\nOrganization made \"far-reaching and\nsubstantive concessions\" in its recent\nnegotiations for an independent Namibia, he\nadded.\nPalme condemned the \"intransigence and\narrogance\" of the Vorster government in its\nrejection of the UN proposals, but pointed\nout that the South African government's actions are defined in the context of what actions the Western powers will accept.\nHe charged that the \"internal solution\nadopted in Zimbabwe by the Ian Smith\nregime was a \"complete fiasco.\"\nSee page 9: BLACK\nApart from the congress's one blemish \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nwhen Cypriot delegate Vassos Lyssarides\nimpassionately opposed the Turkish\nRepublican People's Party's membership\napplication \u00E2\u0080\u0094 Brandt was successful. The\nVancouver congress, the first the\norganization has held outside Europe, was\ndull, dull, dull.\nThe congress officially had debates on the\nworld economy, multinational corporations,\nhuman rights, terrorism and disarmament,\nbut the resolution that was to come out of\nthese discussions was written long before the\nfirst delegate checked into the tasteless\nopulent Hyatt. It was available in written\nform from the first day of the congress.\nThe \"debates\" consisted of little more\nthan a long series of speeches that varied in\nlength and quality but hardly in content.\nBrilliant in their identification of the world's\nproblems and the evils of capitalism, they all\nrefused to address the subject that would\nhave caused the only dissent at the congress:\nhow to bring about socialism.\nIn fact, the speeches were aimed less at the\nother delegates than at the speaker's home\naudience.\nPeter O'Malley, assistant to NDP federal\nleader Ed Broadbent, said the conference\nhelped weaker social democratic parties by\nletting them associate with stronger, more\nsuccessful ones such as that of former\nGerman Chancellor Brandt; Olof Palme,\nwhose party is sure to regain power in\nSOCIALIST INTERNATIONAL LOGO . . . peace and development theme\n'Detente essential'\nFrom page 1\n\"If every industrialized nation, independent of its historic tradition and its\nactual social constitution, were to feel itself\nresponsible for an equalization between\nNorth and South and were it to have this\nresponsibility reflected in its policy, the\npreconditions for a solution to the problems\nwe are facing would be improved.\"\nMilitary despotism and the suppression of\nliberty will not solve any of the problems\nfaced by Latin American countries, and there\nhas to be a respect for sovereign rights and an\nelimination of international interference into\nindividual nation's domestic affairs, he\nadded.\n\"We wish to be useful companions in their\neffort to open up their nation's ways towards\ndemocracy and social stability.\n\"It is not inappropriate for me to remind\nyou that, to some extent, the way in which\nWashington makes its influence felt is still\nimportant,\" he said.\nBrandt said the world's democratic\nsocialists supported African struggles for\nindependence and welcomed their efforts to\ndo so despite outside interventions. Africa\nmust be kept free of power-political rivalries,\nhe added.\n\"Up to now it has not been possible to free\nNamibia and Zimbabwe from colonial\noppression and to provide them with access\nto the community of independent states.\n\"In South Africa itself, a backward-looking\nreglime is attempting to extend the system of\nracial discrimination. Nobody who is\ndevoted to our common values can stand idly\nby while human rights are disregarded openly\nand in a systematic manner.\"\nBrandt, a Nobel peace prize winner,\nresigned as West German chancellor in 1974\nin the midst of a spy scandal.\nB.C. opposition leader Dave Barrett told\nthe opening session of the congress the NDP\nplanned to reorganize the welfare system and\nto control the expenditures of big government in Canada.\n\"We look to more equitable taxation and\nthe more efficient and productive use of all\ncommunity resources, including the agencies\nof government,\" he said.\n\"It is becoming increasingly evident that\nbig government is not democratic socialist\ngovernment.\nSee page 9: BARRETT\nSweden after a brief hiatus, and Francois\nMitterand, leader of France's powerful\nSocialist party.\nFinnish delegate Paavo Lipponen says the\nInternational's highest priority is to widen its\nmembership and to establish strong ties\nwithin the world's social democratic parties.\n\"It is not a movement that has a centralized policy on world questions, or\nregional questions,\" he says. \"It is a\nmovement of likeminded parties, which can\nsubscribe to certain principles.\" No\napologies for the fact that those principles\nare breathtakingly broad.\n\"If you compare us to the Communist\nworld movement, they have very serious\nproblems,\" Lipponen continues. \"Their\nhistory has been a history of centralized\nproblems. This can lead to an alienation of\nthe parties from the movement, and today\nthe Communist movement is having difficulties.\"\nSome delegates, such as British Labor MP\nIan Mikardo, think the movement would\nbenefit if a little heat were injected into the\ncongress proceedings.\n\"This is not a conference,\" Mikardo says.\n\"The object of a conference is to confer, and\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 there has been no conferring, no differences\nof opinion have been presented at this\ncongress.\" He criticized \"this idiotic idea\nthat every party has to agree on everything,\"\nand said he is lobbying for a change in the\ncongress format so the next one, in 1980, can\nbe more of a working session than the public\nrelations excercise the Vancouver congress\nturned out to be.\nLewis calls\nfor support\nfor guerillas\nBy KATHY FORD\nSocialists should actively support freedom\nfighters, even when they use terrorist tactics\nto achieve that freedom, speakers at the 14th\nSocialist International congress agreed.\nFormer federal NDP leader David Lewis\ntold the 250 delegates and observers Sunday\nthat the International could and should play\na role in educating people about atrocities\ntaking place in the world so they will be\nroused to act against atrocious acts.\nAnd an Italian socialist said terrorism in\nthe form of guerilla warfare is useful in\nmobilizing people.\nBROADBENT . . . defends guerillas\nLewis said that too often people turn a\nblind eye on repression and injustice because\nthey are not personally involved.\n\"An effective call to arms by this International and coordinated campaigns of\neducation and of aid to those fighting for\nfreedom would be a signal for action in many\nparts of the world,\" he said.\nLewis said that, although people often\nreact \"with horror to racism rampant in\nAfrica, to the denial of rights to ... dissidents\nin the Soviet Union, trade unionists and\nothers, to the inhuman treatment visited on\npopular leaders in Chile, Nacaragua and\nother dictatorships,\" it is difficult to rouse\nthem to action.\"\nAnd it is definite action which is needed,\naccording to Lewis, not just another conference on human rights that ultimately\nachieves nothing.\nSee page 12: TERROR Pag* 4\nTHE UBYSSEY\nTuesday, November 7, 1978\nWards the way for city\nAlthough this year's mayoralty election promises to be a tight race all the\nway to the wire and although the battle\nfor the remaining 10 seats on council\nfeatures many colorful politicians, the\nmost important aspect of this year's trek\nto the polls will be the outcome of the\nplebiscite on whether to institute a ward\nsystem for the election of civic politicians.\nAlthough the poll is merely of an advisory nature (council can ignore the\nelectorate's wishes in this issue if they\nchoose), the change from an at-large\nsystem to a ward or area representation\nset-up will have a profound effect on\ncivic government and experience in\nother Canadian cities indicates the\nchange will be an improvement.\nThe principal advantage of course,\nwill be to return some sort of representation, the cornerstone of any democracy,\nto the majority (66 per cent) of Vancouverites who live east of Cambie.\nAlthough the western half of Vancouver\nhas a lower population, the mayor and\nall but two aldermen live west of Cambie.\nOne of the reasons for the disparity in\nrepresentation is that west-side Vancouverites display a greater tendency to\nvote. Coupled with this is the\npredominance of professionals and\nbusiness people in civic politics who can\nafford the expensive campaigns\nnecessary to be elected city-wide. They\nseem to have a marked preference for\nwest-side living.\nThe ward proposal, which is nothing\nmore elaborate than the riding system\ncurrently used by the federal, provincial\nand most major city governments, will\nalso mean an end to the circuses Vancouver biennially suffers.\nThe large number of seats available on\ncity council, school board and the park\nboard ensures such a large number of\ncandidates that most voters are resigned\nto vote on the basis of name recognition\nrather than a solid analysis of the respective candidates' positions.\nWell over 100 candidates will be vying\nfor civic posts in the Nov. 15 election.\nThe system ensures that a high\npercentage of incumbent politicians will\nbe re-elected and may partly account for\nthe eagerness of mayor Jack Volrich and\naldermen Warnett Kennedy and\nMarguerite Ford to preserve the status\nquo.\nThe disparity in representation between west and east is very evident in\nthe quality of services provided to the\nrespective areas.\nThe park board is a perfect example.\nAccording to former city planner William\nBuholzer, the Point Grey community has\n5.87 acres of park for every 1,000\nresidents while the Grandview-\nWoodiand area in the eastern part of\nVancouver gets by with 0.91 acres per\n1,000 residents. This is not including\nmajor parts such as Jericho, the University Endowment Lands and Stanley\nPark, which are all considered to be city-\nwide parks by the park board.\nThe school board provides more examples. The cleanest and most well-\nequipped schools with lower student-\nteacher ratio are to be found on the west\nside. This was no accident but the direct\nresult of the type of people elected to\nthe school board.\nThe current school board has one\nrepresentative from east Vancouver with\nseven coming from the west side. The\nninth. Bill Brown, lives in North Vancouver.\nA further advantage of the ward\nsystem is that it will encourage a less expensive and more personal style of election campaigning. Experience in other\ncities has shown that breaking the city\nup into ridings encourages more door-\nto-door campaigning and all-candidates'\nmeetings, rather than the expensive\nmedia blitzes so common now.\nVoters under a ward system, also\nhave a specific person to contact at city\nhall when they are concerned or angry\nabout something. Under the current\nsystem, which of 10 aldermen or the\nmayor does one call?\nA ward system will also encourage the\nelection of aldermen who live in the area\nthey want to represent and who thus\nunderstand the particular interests and\nconcerns of their area.\nFinally, charges have been made by\nsome opponents of a ward system, that\nit will open the door to the socialist\nhordes.\nThese comments, often made, again,\nby alderman Kennedy, are falacious.\nFor example, alderman Harry Rankin,\na small-c communist, thrives well under\nthe current system often topping the\naldermanic polls.\nLeft-wing alderman Darlene Marzari\nenjoys considerable support from the\nwest side and the right-wing Nonpartisan Association has traditionally\ndone well on the east side.\nThe move to introduce ward-based\nelections is simply common sense.\nSense which Vancouver has been long\nin coming to.\nLetters\nPrinshaw prances on poor people\nI have never before been tempted\nto write a letter to a paper, but\nElliot Prinshaw's letter of Nov. 2\nand his previous one have really got\nmy hackles up.\nFirst, family allowance cheques.\nSo he used them for beer money on\nhis yacht. Isn't that nice. He implies\nthat if he doesn't need the money,\nno one else does. Has he ever\nthought what it is like for those who\nmust save those cheques to buy a\nwinter coat (no, not a mink one;\nmore like Army and Navy surplus)\nor just to have enough to eat? I\nreally doubt he has.\nNext, let's consider government\nsubsidies for education. Please, go\nahead and pay an extra $2,000\ntuition. That will leave all the more\nmoney for those who can't afford\nwhat we pay now. I don't suppose\nMr. Prinshaw has ever had to work\nhis ass off all summer just to pay\ntuition and take a job all term to\npay room and board?

You were born with\nthe silver spoon in your mouth.\nGreat, you were one of the lucky\nones and I'm not knocking you for\nthat. What I am knocking you for is\nyour narrowmindedness. You make\na comment about Jana Horn's\nintelligence. At least give her credit\nfor seeing both sides of the\nargument. I, personally, suspect\nyou of \"less than adequate intelligence\" if you can't see this\nsimple fact. In today's society, the\n\"noble\" pursuit of money needs a\ngood education and a good\neducation costs money, lots of it. If\nyou and others like yourself can\nafford it, great! Others, the \"lazy\"\npoor, need help.\nIf we followed your reasoning,\npoor would get poorer, and the rich\nwould get richer, and somehow, I\ndon't think that is what our\nCanadian society is all about.\nLinda Bott\nscience 1\nFilmsoc perverts repulse\nIt has come to my attention that\nthe film Everything You Always\nWanted to Know About Sex but\nWere Afraid to Ask is being shown\non Tuesday and Wednesday nights.\n(Having eyes, it was hard for me to\nmiss the several thousand posters\naround campus). As a morally\nconcerned student citizen, I must\nprotest the showing of this trash at\nthe university. Although I have\nbeen here only a few months, I have\nbeen astounded by the kind of\ndegradative film put before the\nstudent body by the Film Society\nand other clubs. In efforts to raise\nfunds, these people bring in such\ncrassly commercial films as Reefer\nMadness and Flesh Gordon, where\nthe baring of nipples and very\nlarge breasts is carried out to such\nexcess that 30 minutes into the film\none eventually regards them as part\nof the furniture. One would have\nthought that exposure to higher\nculture at a university would have\nraised the tastes of these people\nabove the gutter, but no. This\nexploitation of the well-rounded\nfemale figure and man's second\nmost powerful drive has no artistically or socially redeeming\nvalue at all. Indeed, in a university\nsuch as this, where whole departments consist of puerile minds at\nimpressionable ages (i.e. civil\nengineering), such material can\neven prove to be socially destructive\nin the future. It seems to me that\nthe only one profiting from such a\ntasteless movie as EYWTKASB-\nWATA are its mercenary sponsors,\nwho redirect the flow of the\neconomy from the pockets of\nperverts to the coffers of such\ncretins as themselves, creating such\nshort term financial benefit as they\nsee necessary. I sincerely hope that\nthe projectionists from the\nmushroom cellar that masquerades\nas a film society will refuse to show\nthis film, but on the basis of past\nperformance, that is highly\nunlikely. Perhaps a boycott of SUB\nTheatre at 7:00 on Tuesday and\nWednesday is in order, but again\njudging from the past behaviour\nrather (ajpathetic student body,\nthat, too, is improbable.\nIs there no decency left in this\nblack hole?

DJ with disco madness\n\"City Sugar\" warns of\nan unscrupulous media\nBy PETER MENYASZ\nCity Sugar is not an average comedy. As a\nmatter of fact it is difficult to call it a comedy\nat all. It has plenty of humorous points, but\nthere is an underlying theme that is deadly\nserious.\nThe plot centres around two areas. The\nprimary focus of attention is Leonard Brazil,\na disc jockey in the English city of Leicester.\nBrazil is portrayed as the musical guru of the\ncity, with an audience spread across all age\ngroups. He is tough, biting, hard on his\nsubordinates and flashy on the air.\n\"City Sugar\"\nWritten by Stephen Poliakoff.\nDirected by Ray Michel.\nAt Citystage until Nov. 18.\nThe other focus of attention is on two young\nBritish girls and how they follow Brazil's program and the ridiculous \"contest of the century\" that he invents. Nicola and Susan are\nemployees in a supermarket where their every\nmove is observed by cameras. They are\ntypical young people of limited ambition and\nability.\nFrom the beginning of the play, it is easy to\nsee that Leonard Brazil is not an average\nhappy-go-lucky D.J. A bitter side of his\nnature begins to surface. He abuses his sound\nengineer, Rex, for trying to imitate the\nfamous Brazil style and seems to fear Rex's\nambitions toward his own job.\nConflict occurs between Brazil and \"big\nJohn\" the news announcer. Brazil finds the\nnews constantly depressing, and does his best\nto disrupt \"big John's\" newscasts.\nBrazil is dissatisfied with today's world,\nand today's music in particular. He prefers to\nplay music from the late sixties, and shows\nhis disgust for the new music that he is required to play by throwing the records and\nverbally abusing them.\nThe focal point of the play is the \"contest\nof the century\" that Brazil invents as a hype\nfor a rock band. The grand prize is a\nweekend in London with a member of the\nband.\nThe contest provides a platform from\nwhich Brazil can ridicule the music that he\nhates and abuse the people that listen to it.\nAngela Davies becomes obsessed by the\ncontest. She has already won a record in a\nprevious contest and while she was on the air,\na relationship began between her and\nLeonard Brazil.\nBrazil divides the contest into three stages,\nmaking each stage more ridiculous, and he is\namazed that his listeners comply with his\ndemands. He helps Angela through the contest up to the grand finale that takes place in\nthe studio.\nThe D.J. has an ulterior motive for\nAngela's presence in the contest. Fantasizing\nher as his \"average devotee\" he is determined to abuse her as much as is possible to see if\nshe is as mindless as he suspects that all of his\nlisteners are.\nThe acting is superb throughout with standout performances by Tom McBeath as\nLeonard Brazil and Kim Seary as Nicola\nDavies. There are many complicated passages\nin the script, but under the direction of Ray\nMichal, the whole play moves smoothly from\nscene to scene.\nCombined with the informal surroundings\nof the Citystage theatre, the skill of the actors\ndraw the audience into the play and making\nits message unmistakably noticed and strongly felt.\nIt is not difficult to understand playwright\nStephen Poliakoff's disillusionment with\ntoday's music and the generation of\nteenagers that listen to it in a semmingly\nmindless state. City Sugar serves as a warning of what the media is capable of doing to\nour minds if it is unscrupulous and we are\nunknowing.\nPAGE 1\nArt Society shares\nBy MAYO MORAN\nIn the studio below the Helen Pitt Gallery\nnine of more than sixty members of the\nWomen's Inter-Art Society share a working\nand creating space. In spite of the pipes, low\nceilings and derelict hotel above, the studio is\nanything but depressing. The walls are\ncovered with everything from huge canvasses\nto lilc colored jute. Sketches, sculptures and\npuppets abound.\nIf a person's surroundings are any\nreflection of their personality, then the\nwomen of the Inter-Art Society are lively and\ninventive.\nThe Society which is currently having its\nthird show at the Helen Pitt Gallery, has\nbeen in existence for just over three years.\nVisual art is the predominant genre, although\nalmost every form of art enjoys some\nrepresentation. Included in the Inter-Art\nsociety's membership are film makers,\nmusicians, poets and writers, as well as\npainters, photographers, weavers, and other\nvisual artists.\nHowever, despite the diverse mediums, all\nof the artists share a serious dedication to\ntheir art. The Women's Inter-Art Society is a\nplace for devoted artists, not occasional\ndabblers.\nIn the words of the artists themselves, \"It\nprovides a support community\". This is\nespecially essential for female artists for a\nnumber of reasons.\nOne of the primary reasons is that a very\nlarge percentage of the female artists are not\nable to devote the majority of their time or\nenergy to their art. Frequently they have\nother demanding roles to fulfill, such as\nworker, mother, wife, waitress, etc. As a\nresult, the people with whom they regularly\ninteract have neither understanding nor\nguidance for these women as artists.\nOther problems that arise for women\nartists are the difficulties in finding a place to\nexhibit their work and the much\nmythologized artist's chronic lack of funds.\nIn many ways this economic problem is\nmore severe for the female artist, since\nwomen lack access to many occupations\nwhere substantial amounts of money can be\nearned in a short period of time. The female\nartist gets jobs which are often time-\nconsuming and poorly paid.\nThe support community which the\nWomen's Inter-Art Society provides relates\nspecifically to these and other problems\nexperienced by the female artists. Interaction\nwith group members in the studio and the\ninformal critique sessions provide many\nartists with guidance which they would\notherwise lack. Another very important\naspect of the society both in artistic and\neconomic terms, is the annual art show at the\nHelen Pitt Gallery.\nAt this show, every member is permitted to\nexhibit at least one piece of their work.\nHowever, as a result of limited space, it is\nnecessary to make a choice as to which\nsecondary pieces will be entere in the show.\nThis choice is made by a panel of judges who\nare independent of the society.\nEach artist is allowed to enter a maximum\nHELEN PITT GALLERY ... the s\nZindel play survive\nBy KERRY REGIER\nIt is a tribute to Paul Zindel's ability as a\nplaywright that despite last week's shoddy\nproduction at Studio 58, the depth and\npower of Man in the Moon Marigolds shone\nthrough.\n- Marigolds is a play concerned with a\ndepraved mother who hates everything\nMAN IN THE MOON MARIGOLDS\naround her and ruins the lives of her twc\ndaughters and the nanny who lives with\nthem.\nThe youngest daughter is Tillie, a\npromising young high-school scientist who\neventually wins a science fair with the project\nfrom which the play derives its title.\nHer sister Ruth is an unstable person who\nin the past has had a nervous breakdown and\nfits, and is driven again into another fit by\nher hateful and self-seeking mother, Beatrice\nwho cares nothing for her daughters.\n\"The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in thi\nMoon Marigolds\"\nwritten by Paul Zindel\nDirected by Allan Gray\nAt Langara Studio 58 until November 18\nTillie is to present her science project at the\nschool fair and the principal invites her to\nattend.

This is not to suggest that\ne show is predominantly feminist. The\nter-Art Society is for female artists in\nneral, rather than an exclusive haven\nminists who use their art as a medium for\n)litical or social commentary.\nMost of the genres of visual art were\npresented, along with some examples of\neativity in traditionally female sectors such\ntextile crafts, which have all too often\n:en ignored as art forms.\nThe female body was one of the most\nequent subjects of the artists. Sometimes\niked, but never displayed por-\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094geof wheelwright photo\niteness of female consciousness\nnographically, women were shown giving\nbirth, playing baseball and just generally\nradiating.\nIt is interesting to note that the only exhibit\nwhich was predominantly male was a pottery\nscenario which made a powerful comment on\nthe forces of fascism, sexism and capitalism\nin situations such as the one in Chile.\nAs a whole, the show maintained a high\nlevel of quality throughout. Some of the\nmore unusual pieces in the show were the\nmulti-media works, fabric art and pottery\nscenarios.\nOne question which comes to mind in\nconsidering a show such as the Women's\nInter-Art Society show is, \"Why women's\nart? Isn't art, art?\" It seems possible to make\nthe case that art should go beyond the\nphysical barriers of sex. So, why not just art\nin general, why differentiate?\nThe current show of the society makes it\nquite clear just why that distinction is so\nnecessary. One of the striking features of the\nshow is the unusual occurrence of the female\nbody in the art as something other than a\nsexual or maternal symbol.\nPerhaps then we will be lead to wonder\njust what \"art in general\" means. It seems\nthat all too often it has been art by, for and\nabout, men. So, \"art in general\" is actually\nmuch closer to being men's art than people's\nart. Therefore, perhaps work by the female\nartist is more aptly called women's art.\nAnother important aspect of this issue, is\nthat the distinction between \"men's\" and\n\"women's\" art often goes much deeper than\na mere question of semantics. \"Women's\"\nart as the show illustrates, has its own subtle\nbreed of humor, in many cases, its own\ndistinctive beauty.\nIt shouldn't be amazing that \"women's\"\nart is different. Such a large part of the whole\nstruggle for the liberation of women has been\nfocussed on the liberation and assertion of\nthe female consciousness. Women's art is a\nreflection of that different consciousness, a\nperspective from the other side of human\nexistence.\nThe Women's Inter-Art Society and their\nshow is a celebration of that consciousness,\nnot always feminist, but in some basic way,\nalways female.\n)rces her mother to take her place and stay\nome.\nBeatrice is bitter and while she is at home,\nie kills Ruth's pet rabbit and the death\nrings about Ruth's final collapse.\nDespite some enormous cuts in the\nialogue, the play hung together reasonably\nell.\nThe cast was headed by a convincing Tillie,\nlayed by Elinor Stobbs. This difficult role\ndth few lines is a problem in terms of\nharacter development, but Stobbs's subtle\nestures and strong stage presence succeeded\nlore than adequately.\nIn one memorable moment, Ruth insults\neatrice, and Tillie's reproachful stare\nansfixes her with a power rarely seen even\nmong the greatest actors.\nBut from here it (is mostly downhill,\nlabrielle Jones as Ruth was sloppy and\nnpracticed. At no time was she convincing\ns a high school student.\nMaggie Bellmaine's portrayal of Nanny\n'as ridiculous, though this is a role that\nould be played with great power and\nignity, despite Beatrice's continual jibes,\nellmaine's quick jerky motions were more\nharacteristic of a young college student than\ndecrepit old hag.\nCarol Byron failed completely as Beatrice\nto convince one that she was the distracted\nmother of two children. What she did convey\nwas a lack of rehearsal, and a lack of study\nof her character. Several times she stumbled\nover her lines and rushed through her part as\nif she had just been given it at the last\nmoment.\nThe entire production seemed rushed. It\noften seemed that the cast was trying to end\nthe play as soon as possible so they could get\nhome to watch Mary Tyler Moore.\nWhile some fine ideas were presented\nunder Gray's direction, there was sloppiness\nand failure. One example was when a\nflashlight was used in a scene in the darkened\nhouse. Ruth wakes up screaming from a\nnightmare and Beatrice tries to comfort her.\nBut the flashlight was allowed to blind the\naudience and it did.\nThe production came across as a high-\nschool play with a big budget, a nice theatre,\nand a gum-chewing, giggling audience to\ncomplete the scenario. Again, it is one facet\nof Paul Zindel's genius that despite Gray's\nradical surgery and thorough drubbing,\nMarigolds still left one with a sense of having\nparticipated in a profound and rich\nexperience.\nAtlanta Rhythm Section\nscores success at UBC\nBy GLEN SCHAEFFER\nRhett Butler would have loved it.\nAtlanta Rhythm Section's southern charm\nwarmed their War Memorial Gym audience\nSunday as they delivered a short but well-\nreceived set of their own kind of rock and\nroll alternative.\nTheir southern roots are hard to trace in\nsingles like \"So Into You\" and \"Imaginary\nLover\", as in the studio their Georgia boogie\nis often superseded by a cool sophistication.\nHowever, on stage ARS is like a night in\nMacon county.\nThe show started with two genuine\nsouthern rockers, the first was a cut from the\nRock and Roll Alternative album and the\nsecond, a song called Large Time, from their\nlatest album.\nThe influence of southern bands like\nLynard Skynard and the Allman Brothers is\nclearly evident in these songs, but that influence also made itself felt in the renditions\nof ARS's technically polished singles.\nThe normally subdued \"I'm Not Gonna\nLet It Bother Me Tonight\" was punched up\nwith smoking lead guitar licks which turned\nsong into the quintessence of Georgia\nraunch.\nTha band's stage energy is no accident. It's\nthe result of a lesson learned through seven\nyears of relative obscurity. As guitarist J.R.\nCobb puts it, \"You gotta take the music to\nthe people.\"\nTheir stage show emphasises the earthy\nqualities of their songs. By way of introduction for So Into You, lead singer\nRonnie Hammond shouts, \"Y'all better take\nyour honey and hold her tight 'cause this\nsong's about luhv.\"\nHowever, Sunday's concert had several\nflaws. It was disappointingly brief. Atlanta\nRhythm Section is trying too hard to sell\nthemselves. Their UBC date was in the\nmiddle of a gruelling touring schedule that\nhas had them on the road for over a month.\nThe night before their War Memorial Gym\nshow they played in Medford, Oregon. On\nSunday they drove up from Seattle, and did\nfour interviews before the concert. After the\nconcert, they did two or three more interviews. It almost seems as though the\nconcert itself was just something to kill time\nbetween interviews.\nThe brevity of the concert was certainly\nnot due to a shortage of material as ARS\nhave seven albums to their credit. It is also\nRONNIE HAMMOND\nbewildering that for an encore they did two\nsongs that weren't their own material, Rocky\nRaccoon and Long Tall Sally.\nWhile they did a competent job of both\nsongs, it would have been to their benefit to\nhave played more of their own material.\nSome confusion arose before the concert\nas to the back-up band. Originally the\nconcert promoter Isle of Man productions\nhad arranged to have Paul Davis play.\nDavis currently has a single out called\nSweet Life and was described by Isle of Man\nas an \"up and coming\" artist.\nDavis cancelled at the last minute,\nhowever, and the promoter replaced him\nwith Mose Jones, who are doing the\nAmerican leg of the tour with ARS.\nMose Jones are best described as an \"out\nand going\" band. They played a set that\nseemed excruciatingly long and their\ndeparture was greeted with relief. Needless to\nsay they did not do an encore.\nThe main fault with the evening, then, was\nthat Mose Jones played too long and Atlanta\nRhythm Section did not play long enough.\nARS showed a side of themselves that is\nnot heard on AM radio and a side listeners\nwould like to hear more of. On their singles\nthey sometimes bear a favorable resemblence\nto Steely Dan while their live sound has a\nmore potent flavor.\nTheir next album may bring this sound to\nARS fans. Drummer Robert Nix said the\nband hopes to take advantage of their live\nappeal be recording one side of the next\nalbum in concert and doing the other side live\nin the studio. Judging from audience reation\nat Sunday's concert, this next album may be\ntheir most successful effort yet.\nsloppy production\nATLANTA RHYTHM SECTION\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094geof wheelwright photo\nbold band with a big beat\nTuesday, November 7, 1978\nTHE UBYSSEY\nPage Tuesday, 2 Page 8\nTHE UBYSSEY\nTuesday, November 7, 1978\nHot flashes\nThe thrill oi a\ntoga party?\nBruce Jenner, eat your heart out.\nAny UBC shlocky jocks with blatant Animal House tendencies can\nstrut their stuff in a battle of brawn\non Wednesday at 11 a.m., west of\nSUB.

Born of necessity\nand/or political expediency, these\nprograms in themselves do not\nanswer the needs of the people.\nThey have failed to bring about any\nreal redistribution of wealth.\n\"In some cases, they have helped\nto create a sub-class of idle and\ndependent workers as well as an\nacceptance of unemployment that is\nentirely consistent with the most\ncynical goals of monopoly\ncapitalism,\" he said.\nFederal NDP leader Ed\nBroadbent said multinational\ncorporations were responsible for\nCanada's poof employment and\nresearch record.\n\"Foreign direct investment in\nCanada has been growing for\ndecades, it isn't a passing phase,\"\nhe said. \"Foreign multinational\nownership is the central reality of\nthe Canadian economy.\n\"The result has been increasing\nproblems and a reduced capacity to\nrespond to them. Perhaps for more\nthan any other industrial nation in\nthe world, economic decisions\ncentral to our future are made\noutside of our borders.\"\nBroadbent said the influx of\nmultinationals has also retarded the\nexpansion of research and\ndevelopment facilities in Canada.\nAnd multinationals exercise\ndecisive bargaining advantage with\nnational governments, because of\ntheir ability to make major\n'Black Africans might revolt'\nFrom page 3\n\"It came in a form designed to\nguarantee continued white\ndominance of the country,\" he\nsaid.\nAs a result of the exclusion of the\nPatriotic Front, the war has not\nended but escalated, he added.\nPalme expressed fear that the\nbacktracking of the cornered white\nminority leaders and the\ndeteriorating conditions for the\nblack majorities will force a violent\nrevolution.\nBut he expressed hope that the\nimposition of stricter international\nsanctions and pressure from the\nWest will leave room for negotiations.\nThe discussion on South Africa\nwas a special sub-theme of the conference, related to the areas of\nhuman rights ai\d the world\neconomy. Multinational corporations were singled out for their\ncynical bottom line policies in\nsouthern Africa and their lack of\nregard for the more human dimensions of economics.\nLionel Jospin, speaking for the\nFrench Parti Socialiste, described\nracial segregation as \"an extreme\nform of capitalistic exploitation of\nman by man in perfectly preserved\ncolonial structures.\"\nHe blamed rich mining resources\nand large profit margins from the\nhighly exploited labor force for the\nincreasing and irresistable flow of\ninvestment capital to Africa.\nITS ELECTION TIME\nIN THE BIG CITYI\nALL CANDIDATES\nMEETINGS\nNOV. 8th\nNOV. 9th\nNOV. 10th\nNOV. 14th\nPARKS BOARD\nSCHOOL BOARD]\nALDERMANIC\nMAYORALTY\n12:30 SUB\nCONVERSATION PIT\nOrganized by the A.M.S.\nhair studio inc.\nUNISEX HAIRSTYLES\nFOR APPOINTMENT\nmaster charge\nL!58\n224-1922\n224-9116\nVISA\n5784 University (Nexf to Bank of Commerce)\neconomic decisions, he said.\n\"If Canada tries to increase its\ntax take and employment from\nnickel extraction, INCO (International Nickel) simply threatens\nto expand elsewhere. Third World\ngovernments are even more\nvulnerable to these threats.\n\"The result is that a private\ncompany, by playing off country\nagainst country, can considerably\nincrease its share of the overall\nbenefits that should in fact belong\nto the people of the countries in\nwhich the resources are located.\"\n\"ONE OF THE BEST PICTURES\nOF THE YEAR:\nTIME MAGAZINE\nPG <\u00C2\u00AE>\nThurs, Sun 7:00\nFri, Sat 7:00 & 9:30\n$1.00\nSUB theatre\nNORRCS\n*** MOVING ANOTj^\nSI TRANSFER LTD. _F^\n\u00C2\u00BBST0RASE\nBig or\nSmall Jobs\nReasonable\nRates\n2060 W. 10th\nVancouver\n732-9898\nALSO GARAGES,\nBASEMENTS & YARDS\n\u00C2\u00A3kk\nStudent Administrative\nCommission\n1978-1979\nApplications will be received for the\nposition of:\nCOMMISSIONER OF S.A.C.\nat the A.M.S.
