" THE UBYSSEY\nVol.LXVIII,l\lo.4\nVancouv\nFriday, September 20,1985\ncVl>-\n228-2301\nWomen challenge Hollywood\nAs the scene unfolds a slight\nfigure appears pacing to and fro\nbehind iron bars. Her perfectly\npencil-lined eyes are full of resignation. When the camera pulls back\nwe see the woman in full view - her\nhair is slightly mussed, her lips full\nand red, her thin wet dress clinging\nto her body.\nA sudden hope registers in her\neyes as she spots a man in the\ndistance. Her protector, her man,\nher reason for living. The Hero.\nFighting off the enemy, he frees\nher from her captors. The damsel in\ndistress is safe in his strong arms.\nHis brave soul, his strong body, his\nrescue mission.\nHis noble deed does not go\nunrewarded. He carries her - his\ntrophy - off into the sunset. End of\nscene.\nBut as this scene, typical of the\nportrayal of women in mainstream\nfilm and video, closes, other scenes\nare just beginning. Scenes of\nwomen created by women, who are\ntrying to define women's own images through the camera's lens.\nIn the last 20 years women have\nbegun to challenge the images of\nwomen offered by Hollywood\nfilms. These images of woman as\nwhore, woman as Madonna, and\nwoman as helpless child have served\nto control and limit the real lives of\nwomen. Today, feminists are taking\nup the challenge and working outside the mainstream film and video\nindustry to create a feminist alternative.\nFor Karen Fainman, a feminist\nfilmmaker in Halifax, creating new\nimages means also dealing with the\nproblems women have had trying to\ncreate a voice in the past.\n\"1 dealt with a lot of women and\nsilence. I wanted to build a\nlanguage beyond silence. I was tired\nof not being able to speak,\" says\nFainman. Using the feminist slogan\n- \"The personal is political\" - as her\nguide, Fainman uses her own experiences as a woman in a male-\ndominated and male-defined society as a base for her films.\n\"Often in my films I contrast the\noutside objective world by juxtaposing my personal experience in\nrelation to this.\"\nTradition, Fainman's most recent\nvideo, places questions about\nwomen's changing role in society\nagainst the traditional values of\nJewish culture.\nWith the soundtrack of the Fiddler on the Roof playing in the\nbackground, a woman scrawls\nquestions such as \"Why do 1 have\nto go to the Synagogue? on pieces\nof paper.\nThis personal-is-political style of\nwomen's filmmaking truly began\nwith the \"Second Wave\" of\nfeminism in the 60's.\nIn the 1960s women began to\norganize film and video centres as a\nmeans of creating and distributing\nthese women-make films. Women\nin Focus in Vancouver, Cinema\nWomen in London England and\nWoman Make Movies in New York\nwere all born in this period. The\nwoman involved in these centres\ntried to develop their own films based on how women see themselves\nand society.\nIn 1974 the National Film Board\nof Canada created Studio-D, an\nEnglish women's branch of the film\nboard. Within the film board itself\nwomen occupied less than one-sixth\nof all creative positions and even\nELIZABETH DONOVAN\nCANADIAN UNIVERSITY PRESS\nless occupied positions with creative\nauthority. Studio-D had as its purpose to reach out to women filmmakers and technicians with offers\nof apprenticeships, assistance in\nproducing independent films and\ntechnical training programmes.\nGaining technical experience is\nstill the biggest barrier for women\nwho want to make films.\nPat Kipping, a feminist and filmmaker living in Halifax, says she\ndecided in 1976 that there were far\ntoo few women with any technical\nexperience working in film and actively sought training. In her four\nyears as a freelance film technician\nshe says she was often the only\nwoman working on a set.\n\"It was uncomfortable\nsometimes\", she recalls. \"I really\nmissed working with women then.\nBut it is so important for women to\ndevelop skills in all areas of film, so\nthat if a woman wants to make a\nfilm from beginning to end then she\ncan draw on the talents of other\nwomen.\"\nIn Halifax women have orjpriiz-\ned a, local version of Studio-t) to\ncombat the problems women have\nworking in mainstream film co-ops.\nAlthough the group, Women in\nFilm, is only a year old, it already\nhas ten active members.\nThe members of Women in Film\nare trying to share skills within the\ngroup so that it will be possible for\nthem to produce their own indepen\ndent films. Even this method of\nteaching through sharing hasn't\nsolved all the problems. When they\nfind that no one in the group knows\nhow to do a particular task it\nbecomes necessary to bring in men\nto give workshops.\n\"It's hard for men to relinquish\ntheir reign of power but we are not\ngoing to reject the expertise that\nmen have and can contribute, since\nmen still have had the support and\ntraining,\" says Maxine Tynes, one\nmember of the group.\nMen's stranglehold on filmmaking skills comes from a history of\nmale domination of the film industry. According to the Directors'\nGuild of America, of the 7,332\nfilms produced in the United States\nbetween 1949 and 1979, only 14\nwere directed by women. Canada's\nown record isn't any better. Between 1968 and 1980, of the 260\nfilms made with Canadian Film\nDevelopment Corporation funding,\nonly 11 were directed by women.\nPractical considerations aside,\nwomen filmmakers ofketi have a\ndifferent philosophy from men\nabout film and video productions.\nLiz McDougal, a feminist video\nartist in Halifax, says she doesn't\nsee making videos as an end in\nitself, but more as a political tool.\nMcDougal's commitment to\ngrassroots activism is reflected in\nher video about MUMS, Mothers\nUnited for Metro Shelter, a group\nof single mothers without perma\nnent housing. MUMS is organized\non a collective, non-executive basis.\nWorking with these groups gives\nMcDougal a more supportive base\nfor her feminist perspective than\ntraditionally structured groups.\n\"The male-stream [mainstream]\nhas a whole hierarchy of roles\nwithin it,\" she says. \"Feminists try\nto have an egalitarian or non-\nhierarchical structure.\"\nMcDougal says video is less expensive than film and as a result\nmore accessible to political\ngrassroots groups.\nThe relatively low cost makes it\npossible for feminists with limited\nfinancial resources to make videos.\nThe distinguishing difference between women-centred and male-\nstream film and video is emphasis\non process versus product, says\nMcDougal.\n\"Many feminist films/videos are\nnon-slick productions. Women\nwant to concentrate on the process\nand pay less homage to the form.\"\nMcDougal doesn't just talk about\nher feminist politics - she practises\nthem.. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0/};!(\nIn her video of the Debert peace\nprotest organized by women, she\nrecruited women who never\noperated video equipment before.\nFor some of these women, working\nwith technical equipment was a\nchance to de-mystify the operation\nof these machines.\nFeminists are also challenging the\nmyth of \"objectivity\" in\nmainstream film-making, which\ntries to balance \"both sides of the\nstory\" by distancing itself from the\ntopic.\nFor McDougal it is important to\nbe subjective.\n\"1 try to connect personally.\nWith the work I'm doing with the\npeace movement, 1 analyse my position to those women as one of those\nwomen,\" she says.\nOne American film that reflects a\nfeminist structure both in\nphilosophy and structure is Rosie\nthe Riveter. The film challenges the\nhistorical image of women, showing\nhow much influence the media had\nin determining the image of women\nduring the years of the Second\nWorld War.\nRosie the Riveter shows how\nwomen formed the backbone of the\nship building industry for the war,\nbut once the men returned from\nfighting, women were targets of a\nhuge propaganda campaign to\nmove them back into the home. The\nfilm's structure allowed women to\ntell their stories through first person\nrecollection.\nSays McDougal, \"Dwing the war\nthe images of women you saw were\nstrong - always shown holding a\nshovel. But these images were ordained by the state, and later conveniently changes. Women were never\nreally given the power.\"\nBoth Maxine Tynes and Judith\nPenner share McDougal's subjective approach to film making.\nSee page 2: WOMEN Page 2\nTHE UBYSSEY\nFriday, September 20, 1985\nWomen redefine old values with new films and videos\nFrom page 1\nThese women are making films\nwhich touch them personally. And\nthrough film they are recognizing\nwomen's valuable contributions to\nsociety. For Tynes, a black Nova\nScotian poet, this means remembering the struggles of black women in\nNova Scotia while growing up.\n\"My first film is about a little\nblack girls in Dartmouth who learns\nsomething about herself and the\nhistory of black women. Every day\nshe hears women around her saying\nthey are 'In Service'. And for a little\nchild this has romantic connotations until she discovers that 'In\nService' means menial, hard\ndomestic labour.\"\nWhile Tynes came of age during\nthe '60's and options were opened\nfor her, she remembers that for her\nsisters who matured during the 50's\nmany of the doors were closed.\n\"Many of the women around me\nwere still doing domestic labour\nthen, and this really affected me,\"\nshe says.\nTyne's message is not only a\nwomen's message. She hopes her involvement in the film medium will\nmake it easier for others in the\nblack community to work in film.\nJudith Penner is a writer experimenting with a film that\ntouches her personally. Her subject\nis an 83 year old friend who led a\ndynamic and active life, yet doesn't\nconsider herself successful.\n\"My friend considers herself a\nfailure, which is common for\nwomen from her generation\nbecause of their lack of support\ngroups. The film is an attempt to\nredefine success\", she says.\nPenner says success is usually\nmeasured in male terms like the\namount of power or money one has\naccumulated. She doesn't agree\nwith this definition and hopes to\nconvey this in the film by\nhighlighting her older companion's\nstrengths and talents.\nThis redefining of values continues, with the widening of a\nfeminist film and video network.\nOther feminists involved in filmmaking are presenting women in\npowerful and active roles, challenging the stereotypical blonde bomb\nshell image and replacing it with\nreal women: single mothers, community activists, explorers, and\nsisters. Together with these women,\nfeminist film and video makers are\ncreating another language to\ndescribe their reality.\nDr. Kenneth W.

PASIN\nSome UBC students won't be lining up anxiously for 15,000 temporary jobs at Expo 86 because the\nwages are low and they think Expo\nis a waste of public money.\nBut others say they will apply for\na job at Expo which began accepting applications Tuesday through\nselect Canada Employment Centres.\nCynthia Meagher, unclassified 5,\nsaid Thursday she would not apply\nfor a job at Expo based on principle.\n\"It is just a waste of good money\nthat could be better spent on such\nthings as education,\" she said.\nNorm Ravvin, arts 5, said he will\nconsider applying but added he\ndoesn't find the Expo spirit appealing. \"It would be a rather big embarrassment to work there,\" Ravvin said.\nRoger MacDonald, geology 3,\nsaid he thinks he probably has a job\nlined up next summer but even if he\ndidn't he would likely not apply at\nExpo because the wages are low.\nExpo itself will be hiring only\n5,000 people for the six month\ntransportation fair \u00E2\u0080\u0094 the majority\nof these jobs will be skilled, higher\npaying positions.\nThe other 10,000 people will be\nhired through the pavilions of the\nvarious participating countries and\ncorporations. These will be mainly\nentry-level positions including hosts\nand starting at $4 to $5 an hour.\nExpo spokesperson Bard Philley\nsaid very few jobs will be in supervisory capacities and most will be\nless skilled jobs such as concession\nstand work.\nFilling the 15,000 jobs is the\nlargest mass hiring in B.C. history\nand will provide many students\nsummer jobs, Philley said. Actual\nhiring, he added, does not begin until December.\nHeather MacNeill, science 1, said\nshe will apply although she feels Expo is too extravagant.\n\"I would have to get another\njob,\" she said, \"but my previous\njobs were at that wage level, so it\ndoesn't really bother me.\"\nMike Holmes, pharmacy 3, said\nhe won't apply for a job, because he\nneeds a practical position in his\nfield. But he thought Expo will provide the community with much\nneeded growth.\n\"Coming from Kamloops, where\nthere's nothing going on, the\ngrowth here is tremendous, and\ndepending on the type of job, the\nwages are probably comparable to\nthe private sector.\"\nJanice King, sociology 4, s?id Expo is patronizing the unemployed\nand using them as political pawns.\n\"I don't like to feel as if I am being\nused, so I am not going to apply,\"\nsaid King.\nCouncil opens\nCUSC discussion\nStudent council defeated a motion Wednesday night to approve in\nprinciple a national student\norganization which limited discussion to student issues in its mandate.\nAMS president Glenna Chestnutt\nwho supported the motion said the\nCoalition of University student\ncouncils would limit discussions to\nissues concerning student fees,\nacademic standards and accessibility.\n\"It has a mandate for student\nissues so we don't talk about El\nSalvador or anything else like\nthat,\" she said.\nThe new coalition organized by\nthe University of Alberta will limit\nmembership to universities with a\nminimun 7,500 student enrolment.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2'They're (the U of A) very conservative like our campus,\" she added.\nArts representative Barbara\nWaldern opposed the motion and\nsaid the coalition was elitist, and\nadded the restricted mandate for\ndiscussion in its constitution would\nstifle discussion.\n\"Students have all the major problems of the day on their minds,\"\nshe said.\nGraduate student representative\nPhil Bennett agreed that the mandate was \"narrow\".\n\"If 50 per cent of the people want\nto talk about El Salvador then, they\nthink it's important,\" he said.\nCouncil struck a committee to\nlook further into CUSC after\ndefeating the motion supporting it\nin principle.\n\u00C2\u00BB * *\nCouncil tabled a motion to put\nup notices in the student union\nbuilding informing students that\nsome products were being sold from\ncompanies holding investments in\nSouth Africa.\nVice president Jonathon Mercer\nsaid the motion was a \"first step\"\nin opposing something \"we should\nnot condone.\n\"We're still wet behind the ears\non this situation,\" he said.\nLaw representative Tim Holmes\nsaid, \"If we inform people we start\ndiscussion.\"\nMercer said council should consider a boycott of products from\ncompanies which invest in South\nAfrica, \"If thy (students) come to\nus with a petition.\"\nThe motion was tabled to be\nreworded more precisely.\nAMS administration director\nSimon Seshadri said he was making\nprogress in efforts to liberalize the\nrules on charitable status for student liquor functions.\nHe said meetings with the liquor\ncontrol board in Victoria had gone\nwell.\nSeshadri said a major letter\nwriting campaign he wants to\norganize might have some effect in\nrelaxing the rules.\nHe said the AMS used book store\nwas successful this year, selling over\n$60,000 worth of books.\n\"The lineups have been longer\nthan at the UBC bookstore,\" he\nsaid.\nSeshadri referred to a story in the\nUbyssey about McGraw Hill\npublishers increasing the frequency\nof new editions in order to destroy\nthe used book market, saying he\nplans to start a petition opposing\nthe plan.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 ed photo\nGET A BALANCED education by going to UBC and riding around on a unicycle. The engineers are working on a\npowered model for Expo but no one has mustered the nerve to ride it yet. The high cost of riding the buses is making students try anything in the rush to attend classes but most prefer more wheels for comfort, safety and convenience. Philosophers are trying to resolve their difficulties with the two wheeled unicycle.\nUofR board bans student referendum boycott\nREGINA (CUP) \u00E2\u0080\u0094 The University of Regina's board of governors\nhas overturned a student referendum calling for a boycott of\nCarling-O'Keefe products.\nAlthough the board gave\n\"freedom of choice\" as the reason\nfor its decision, the university pub's\nliquor licence could be revoked if\nthe boycott were approved.\n\"The liquor licensing law says\nholders of the license can't\ndiscriminate between brands,\" said\nStu Mann U of R vice president of\nfinances and services.\nBarry Hicks, chief inspector of\nSaskatchwan's liquor commission,\nconfirmed that a Carling's boycott\nwould be against the law.\n\"You're expected to handle all\nDTUC lives on in Kootenay school\nThe Kootenay School of Writing\nis starting again this fall offering\ncourses like those offered at the\nformer David Thompson University\nCentre.Their workshops in Journalism are now accepted as transfer\ncredits at UBC, Selkirk College and\nat the University of Victoria.\nThe KSW was established as an\nindependent, non-profit school,\nsaid school staff member Gary\nWhitehead.\n\"Our objective is to service and\nestablish a community of writers in\nVancouver,\" he said. \"It seems like\nwhen we were up at OTUC there\nwas a community of writers sticking\ntogether, working, writing . . . then\nwe came down to Vancouver and\nthe first thing we saw was a lack of\ncommunity.\"\nThe school aims to replace the\ncentre, closed by the provincial\ngovernment in May, 1984. At the\nformer centre students could take\nfirst and second year classes from\nSelkirk College and third and\nfourth year classes from the Univ.\nof Victoria. Graduates received a\nbachelor of fine arts.\n\"Then the government closed the\ncentre. They way it was economic\nreasons but they also say it was\npolitical reasons - they want to centralize education in the Lower\nMainland,\" said Whitehead.\nThe school is currently funded\nmainly by student fees, funds from\nthe Vancouver Community Arts\nCouncil and Chevron. A $15,000\ngrant from the Canada Council is\nused to finance office operations\nand a full time staff member.\nLast year the school was voluntarily run \u00E2\u0080\u0094 \"a labour of love,\"\nsaid Whitehead. Although most\ncourses have not begun yet approximately 180 students are registered.\nThe school is expecting more\nstudents because their brochure was\ndistributed later than usual this\nyear. The deadline for registration\nfor classes beginning this week has\nbeen extended.\nthree major brands unless there is\nample evidence one brand is unpopular,\" Hicks said. \"The intent\nis, any products that are normally\nrequested by the patrons are expected to be on hand in reasonable\nquantities.\"\nStudent Council President Brian\nBelinsky disagreed with the board's\ndecision even though he was publicly opposed to boycotting Carling's.\n\"I stood up for the students, but\nnow, to me, the whole question of a\nboycott is redundant. I think it's my\nposition to let the students know it's\na dead issue,\" Belinsky said. \"This\nis what it comes down to \u00E2\u0080\u0094 do you\nwant a bar or a boycott?\"\nU of R student Lori Stinson, who\nhelped organize the referendum,,\ndid not think a boycott would be\nthat drastic. Stinson said the whole\nissue could have gone through legal\nchannels to get government permission to boycott Carling products.\n\"Right from the very beginning\nour plan of action was to approach\nthe liquor commission and they\ncould have made us an exception,\"\nStinson said. \"It is possible to do\nthat.\"\nThe Board action killed any\npossibilty of getting permission, she\nsaid.\n\"I don't know if they were misinformed or just morally bankrupt,\"\nStinson said.\nThe Board investigated licensing\nlaws before it made the decision but\ndid not ask the liquor commission if\nany exception could be made for the\nUofR.\n\"Quite honestly, we never posed\nthe question to the liquor licensing\ncommission,\" said Mann.\n\"I would guess that by next year\nmost universities would have a\nboycott in place,\" Stinson said. \"If\nthe U of R doesn't, it will be\nsomething to be ashamed of.\"\nBecause of their parent companies' business interests in South\nAfrica, a boycott of all products\nproduced by Carling O'Keefe was\nestablished by a student's referendum at the U of R this summer. The\nstated intent of the referendum was\nto have all Carling O'Keefe products withdrawn from sale at the\ncampus pub.\nUBC Alma Mater society\nstudents council as of yet has not\ntaken a stand on the issue of apartheid in South Africa.

He\nproposes universities eliminate tuition fees and make bursaries\navailable to all students.\nPete Wheeland spent two years\nresearching the proposal. The free\neducation system he envisions is\ncalled POET - Post Obligatory\nEducation Tax. Wheeland brought\nthe proposal to the New Democratic\nParty \u00E2\u0080\u0094 Quebec's founding convention last week.\nIn a document called \"Leaping\nthe barriers to post-obligatory\neducation,\" Wheeland outlines his\nformula for POET.\n\"Every student who enters the\npost-secondary education system\nshall begin paying a special tax one\nyear after finding her/his first job,\"\nhe said. \"This tax shall amount to\nno more than two per cent of\nher/his gross earnings and shall be\npaid for a fixed term of three years\nfor every one year spent in a post-\nsecondary institution.\"\nThe revenue from POET will pay\nfor education for all entering post-\nsecondary institutions and will provide an all bursary financial aid program instead of the loans and bursary programs which exist today.\n\"It seemed so simple, I couldn't\nbelieve nobody had thought of it\nbefore\" Wheeland said, \"I've spent\nthe last two years trying to blow\nholes into it and inviting others to\ntry as well but so far nobody has\nbeen able to do it.\"\nAt the convention someone tried.\nIt was suggested that society be taxed in general to pay for free post-\nsecondary education as we do for\nprimary and secondary education.\nAnother suggestion was to tax\nemployers who benefit from the\nskills students get in school.\nWheeland responded to the\ncriticisms and suggestions in an interview after the convention.\n\"I find it hard to convince the\nmajority of people to pay more for\neducation when the people benefitting are from the middle and upper\nclasses,\" he said. \"Right now the\nbulk of revenue to pay for education comes from the lower classes.\"\n\"When we have the perfect world\nand the perfect tax system that does\nan adequate job of redistributing\nwealth - 100 years from now - we\nmight be able to support as a single\nsociety a free education system and\nan adequate financial aid\nprogram,\" he said.\n\"Assuming we believe that intelligence is not a function of class\"\nhe said, \"we must ask ourselves\nwhy persons from the lower\neconomic strata are so under-\nrepresented in our post-secondary\neducational system.\"\nAre tuition fees the problem?\nYes, Wheeland answers.\nHe also cited two major problems\nwith the loans and bursaris program: The loans portion of financial aid acts as a disincentive to app-\nOntario classes\ncrowded this year\nTORONTO (CUP) \u00E2\u0080\u0094 First year\nuniversity classes across Ontario\npromise to be more crowded than\never this year as enrolment is up\neven more than last year's record\nlevel.\nFigures compiled as of Aug. 14\nby the Council of Ontario Universities show 1.1 per cent more\nstudents have enrolled in first-year\nprograms.\nOf the 70,520 people who applied\nto the Ontario universities application centre, more than 39,000 \u00E2\u0080\u0094 55\nper cent \u00E2\u0080\u0094 had accepted offers of\nadmission by Aug. 14. However,\nCOU official Grant Clarke said it is\nimpossible to know how many were\nrejected (because of a lack of space\nor failure to qualify) and how many\ndecided to go outside the province\nto drop their university plans\naltogether.\nly for such aid, and the eligibility\ncriteria leave many needy students\nwithout any, or enough financial\naid.\nThe NDPQ is sending his proposal to its council for re-working.\nWheeland expects it will be adopted\nafter that.\n\"This isn't a stall tactic,\" he\nsaid. \"We simply don't have\nenough concrete evidence (about\nthe companies) and I believed there\nwas a problem with the wording in\nthe present motion, which is why it\nwas tabled.\n\"I don't think the extra two\nweeks will hurt and it wil give us a\nchance to formulate a more precise\nand effective motion instead of going into it half baked.\"\nMercer said there are no plans to\ntake any direct action against any of\nthe companies, such as removing\nbeer or cigarettes from UBC shelves\nbecause council did not believe it\nwould be the most effective strategy\nin the long run. He added that he\nwas not sure students would support such a motion.\n\"This is a moral issue and it's\nsomething that the students\nthemselves have to decide and voice\ntheir opinions on,\" said Mercer. He\nadded that more input is needed\nfrom the student body to take direct\naction.\nMercer said he believed most\nstudents on campus were not aware\nof the connection between the companies and the South African\ngovernment, or if they were they\nwere not vocalizing their concern.\n\"Sales have not slumped, and as\nwe're an elected body of the\nstudents we need their input before\nwe can act. We welcome any kind\nof feed back on this issue,\" Mercer\nsaid.\nMercer added that pressure on\ncampus against these companies\nwas slight and although South\nAfrica had been in the news for\nsome time, graduate student Ed\nWishnow submitted the first official complaint at the Wednesday\nmeeting.\nCarling O'Keefe and Rothman's\nhave financial ties with the Rem-\nbrant Group, a South African corporation which has the majority of\nits shares on the Johannesburg\nstock exchange.\nMore parking tickets planned\nBy DAVE PASIN\nU.B.C. students can expect continued rigourous enforcement of\nparking regulations, the supervisor\nof traffic and parking said Thursday.\nThe enforcement procedures will\ninclude ticketing and towing of illegally parked cars.\n\"The preferred lots will be receiving the most attention for the first\nfew weeks of classes, as they seem\nto be the ones with the greatest problems,\" said, John Smithman adding A-lol will be strictly patrolled.\nSmithman said the first two or\nthree weeks of classes are the most\nhectic for students using the parking lots.\nAMS fobs progressed\nThe race by the five Alma Mater Society executives to complete\ntheir summer jobs by the September first deadline was not a photo\nfinish in 1985.\nFinance director Jamie Collins was basically on track in his summer schedule with the exception of bringing down the budget in time\nfor the new school year.\n\"I am embarrassed to admit the budget is not complete,\" he said.\n\"I wasn't tough enough on club budget standards and ended up doing more work on it (the budget).\"\nCollins said he is comforted by the fact this year's budget has not\npassed last year's late approval date yet.\nVice-president Jonathan Mercer said he completed his tasks except\nfor a slide show project he was working on with the AMS archivist.\nCoordinator of external affairs Duncan Stewart managed to complete one of his five projects which was to enable post secondary\neducation students to purchase concession bus farecard. Stewart\nsaid he is now close to getting the bus passes.\nDirector of administration Simon Seshadri said he \"almost entirely\" completed his summer mandate except for bicycle storage and\nhandicapped access projects. He attributed the lateness of these projects to delayed responses from the university to his funding requests.\nPresident Glenna Chesnutt said she completed \"all\" of her summer projects. \"I know that others did not finish all of theirs but\nthey still did an incredible amount of work,\" she said.\nAMS hiring committee chair Nicci Ricci, who was in charge of\ndealing with hiring the executives for the summer, has said there were\nno stipulations in the hirings allowing for dealing with incomplete or\nlate projects.\n\"The enforcement and the\nstudents becoming more aware of\nthe parking regulations should\nresult in the parking situation easing over the next few weeks,\" he\nsaid.\nSmithman said if students find\ntheir lot full, they should report to\nthe L-Lot kiosk or the traffic and\nsecurity office to be assigned a new\ntemporary parking space.\nWhile this solution may not be\nacceptable to some students, he\nhoped that they would understand\nand cooperate.\nB-lot enforcement has not started\n\"but expects increased enforcement\nto begin within the next two\nweeks,\" said Smithman. \"It is expected that students know the parking regulations and follow them.\"\nThe paving of B Lot has eased the\nparking situation there considerably, said Smithman.\nHe said the improvements have\nmade the lot more organized, safer\nand easier accessed.\n\"In fact, we have recieved several\ncompliments from students on the\nimprovements.\"\n\"B Lot is greatly improved, but\nthe parking stalls are too small,\nespecially if you have a big car\"\nsaid commerce student Zita\nLiszkay.\nHer comments were echoed by\nother students like Cameron J.\nJohnston, engineering, 4.\n\"B-lot is greatly improved over\nlast year but the spaces are too\nsmall and there seems to be much\nwasted space.

In the first place it\nwas biased in the extreme; secondly\nit contains many harmful misquotations; and thirdly and finally it is, in\nseveral instances, factually wrong,\neither by mistake or deliberate\nomission.\nThe article asserts that one executive member has not completed\nhis job proposal, and that that executive is the Coordinator of External Affairs. As far as it goes, this is\naccurate. But the article fails to\nmention that three other exec.\nmembers did not complete their\nsummer job proposal by September\n1.\nMy situation, therefore, is far\nfrom unique. The non-completion\nof these projects does not in any\nway reflect poorly on the individuals on the executive. In my\nopinion they all did an outstanding\njob over the summer, and the missing of an arbitrary and irrelevant\ndeadline should not affect the\nperception of excellent performances.\nThe reporter misinterpreted my\ncomments twice in the article. My\ndescription of the summer hiring of\nthe excutive as a \"legal fiction\" is\nmore comprehensible when considered in context. I was referring to\nthe underlying purpose of hiring the\nexec, which is not so much for the\ncompletion of specific summer projects as it is for the providing of a\nsalary for those in executive positions. This salary concept is consistent with the policy of other university student societies in Canada.\nThe second mistake is far more\nserious. The reporter completely\nreversed the intent of my comments. At no time did I suggest that\nthe executive should not work for\nthe society during the summer. In\nfact, I have recently been publically\nsuggesting that all executive must\nwork for the society for an entire\nyear, including the summer months\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 at a reduced rate of pay.\nI feel that his story is sufficiently\nbiased and inaccurate that I would\nask the Ubyssey for an article that\nsets the record straight.\nDuncan Stewart\nCoordinator of External Affairs\nANY QUESTIONS\nON LAST PAY'S\nCHEMISTRY\nLECTURE 1\nYEAH.

Salt-Water Moon beams, charms\nBy C. P. KAPTY\nThe salt-water moon hovers\nglowing in the mid-July sky, and\nbeams beneficently down upon the\ntwo Newfoundland lovers, Jacob\nMercer and Mary Snow. This moon\nencapsulates the substance of David\nFrench's third work in the Mercer\nTrilogy, Salt-Water Moon.\nThe moon has always been a symbol of romantic love, and saltwater, rather than blood, runs in\nthe veins of the two characters who\nhail from Coley's Point, Newfoundland, a small fishing village\non the eastern seaboard.\nSalt-Water Moon\nBy David French\npresented by the\nVancouver Playhouse\nAt the Waterfront Theatre\nThe production is charming from\nthe minute you enter the theatre\nproper. The set is a cross between\nDisneyland and Newfoundland,\nand fairytales spring to mind even\nbefore the actors enter the stage.\nNot that the actors in any way\nlessen the atmosphere of true love\nand happy endings, to the contrary\nwe are presented with two almost\nperfect lovers. Jacob and Mary, as\nplayed by Brian Mulligan and Leslie\nJones, are a handsome pair with\nhandsome manners, and wonderful\ntste in vintage clothing. Jacob's tie,\nin particular, is worthy of note.\nThis \"love story\", as it has been\nsub-titled by the Playhouse, is very\nsimple in plot. Jacob returns to Coley's Point after a year away in\nToronto to claim the girl he left\nwithout a goodbye one year before.\nJacob's herculean task is to wrest\nMary from the greasy grasp of the\nlocal milksop teacher who has been\nsniffing at her door since the moment Jacob left a year ago.\nThe stew is thickened by the\nrevelation that Jacob left in the first\nplace because of the shaming of his\nfather by the father of Jacob's\nrival. Mary is torn between material\ncomforts and a home of her own,\noffered to her by the school teacher,\nJerome, and the passion and\nromance of real love that is hers if\nshe chooses our hero Jacob. Gasp\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094 what will Mary decide?\nWhich brings us to the least\nsatisfactory part of the evening's\nentertainment. The ending. Like all\ngood westerns, the- hero comes\nriding up, like Tom Mix on his\nblack stallion Tony, sweeps up the\nbride in his heavily muscled arms,\nsneers at the cowering bridegroom,\nand rides off into the evening. Of\ncourse, this is a Canadian play, so\nthe scenario is more likely to include the likes of Dudley Doright,\nthe RCMPman, who always gets his\nman, in this case, his woman.\nThe acting, however, cannot be\nfaulted. Brian Mulligan is more\nthan what you would expect for a\nNewfoundland fisherman, fortunately, and endows the role with a\nwith and charm that is fully half the\nattraction of the play. Leslie Jones\nplays Mary Snow sometimes too\nliterally \u00E2\u0080\u0094 white and pure as the\ndriven snow, Mary \u00E2\u0080\u0094 and has a\ntendency to put too much emphasis\nupon gazing at the stars, but has\nsome lovely, fiery moments in\nwhich she puts the cocky Jacob in\nhis well deserved place.\nAs a piece of literature, the play's\n:>r\ncentral weakness is the simplistic attitudes of the author and his\ncharacters towards the questions of\nlife on this planet. The play's\ngreatest strength is the oozing\ncharm with which the story is told.\nThe Playhouse production is\nfaithful, nearly to the letter, to the\nauthor's script, and therefore both\nweakness and strength can be properly laid at the author's door.\nAs an evening's entertainment,\nthere are only two requirements for\nthe theater-goer to get his or her fif\nteen cents worth. Firstly, take along\neither a Newfoundland/English dictionary, or a Newfoundlander to\ntranslate, and secondly, be\nprepared for a bewitching, moon-\nfilled spectacle best taken with a\ndash of salt-water.\nJACOB . . . wants Mary back\nTattooed Woman requires irrational look\nBy EVELYN JACOB\nAs I sifted through the final\npages of Marian Engel's The Tat-\ntoed Woman, I was left with the impression that I had read 192 pages\nof the private lives of a select group\nof people which meant little, if\nnothing to me. In fact, I thought\nher collection of short stories to be\ntoo far removed from the reader,\nwhich made them painfully tedious.\nBut as I lay back and let her\nstories sink into the dark caverns of\nthe unconscious, I suddenly realized\nwhat Engel was doing.\nI thought of the events of my own\nlife \u00E2\u0080\u0094 events that would be trivial\nand meaningless to others, but were\nfor me, profound and unforgetable\nmoments. At this point, I finally\nunderstood what Wordsworth once\ncalled those \"little spots of time,\"\nthe unique and yet transitory\nflashes of life. Engel's characters\ntoo, have experiences; tell stories\nwhich are highly personal, paradoxical, and sometimes absurd. But\ntheir own hurts and joys we experience quickly; the stories they\ntell, are as important as our own.\nThe wonderful thing about\nEngel's writing is that she has the\nability to make human feelings concrete: in Share and Share Alike, for\nexample, her character tells us that\n\"happiness\" is like \"unpolluted\nair: you forget what is is like when\nit's gone.\nA much more physical example\nof this is found in her title story,\nThe Tattooed Woman. Here, a\nmiddle-aged woman is caught between a past generation and the\ndemands of a newer, harder world.\nTo deal with her pain, she engraves\nstars into her arms with razor\nblades: these scars become the living proof of personal suffering\nwhich we are made to see and feel.\nEngel's aim, no doubt, is to touch\nthe unconstrained, that most\nvulnerable strand of our emotions.\nAlthough Engel's short stories\nstand on their own, there is, nevertheless, a variety of themes which\ndraw them together: the notion of\nbeing trapped within an unfulfilled\nlife; the never-ending conflict bet\nween man and woman; and most\nsignificantly, the pain of being different. Engel admits that \"it is\neasier to live without an imagination.\"\nAs a human being and writer,\nEngel was unconventional indeed,\nand her characters reflect the\nparadox of what it means to be un-\ntraditional. In The Life of Bernard\nOrge, Engel's character tries\ndesperately to fit into society by\nbuying a new nose; however she is,\nironically, fired by her employer\nbecause he doesn't approve of her\n\"new look.\"\nWithin Engel's humanistic and\nsociological concerns lies a disturbing sense of anger \u00E2\u0080\u0094 a contempt for\nlost youth, lost identity, and the\nstereotyping of women. While some\nof her characters come to terms\nwith these conflicts, others do not.\nIn the end, Engel puts forth the\nphilosophy that we should always\nbe free to follow our own dreams\nand aspirations rather than the\nwishes of family, friends, and\npsychiatrists. She delightfully portrays this in Gemini, Gemino. But\nat the same time, Engel never permits us to forget who we are:\nforever children in adult clothing.\nEngel is able, in her short stores,\nto draw and quickly immerse the\nreader into the lives and conflicts of\nher characters. In the small space\nthat she has to work with, Engel\nsucceeds as an artist of the short\nstory form. Some of her stories,\nhowever, such as Can I Have Found\nA Better Love Than You?, tend to\nbury their subjects in rambling,\n\"Proustian\" paragraphs. In addition, the shattering of the linear\nplot line in which the reader may\nbecome lost from time to time, may\nprove rather disconcerting.\nBut in order to experience the\nmost of Engel's works, one must\ngive oneself up to the irrational,\nwhich remains a constant reminder\nof humanity itself.\nMarian Engel died this year- of\ncancer at age 51. She will be sorely\nmissed by the Canadian literary\ncommunity and undeniably by the\nworld at large. reviews\nreviews\nWomen react through art\nDance performance\nlacks vital energy\nSerious Experimental Dance and\nMusic [EDAM] watchers know that\nFriday's show at the Queen\nElizabeth Playhouse was not quite\nup to par but it was an exciting\nevening of dance and music.\nThe main problems with the show\nwere lack of energy in a few of the\npieces - one dancer fixed his hair\ntwice during a duet; and a sense in\nplaces that the show was not quite\n\"tight\", one of three new works\nthat was introduced, Cybernetic\nSolitude, a structured improvisation by Jay Hirabayashi, incorporates the Edam Movement Sensitive Sound System.\nA camera set in the ceiling\ntransmitted the dancer's\nmovements to a synthesizer programmed by Douglas Collinge and\nStephen Parkinson. Each movement of Hirabayashi's triggered a\nsound, ranging from extremely high\nbell-sounds to bass drums. In this\nway, the dancer can create a sound\naccompaniment that completely\ncomplements the dance.\nUnlike some other technology-\nstruck groups, Edam kept the\nequipment off the stage - unless you\nread the program carefully, you did\nnot realize that the sound was actually triggered by Hirabayashi's\nmovements. That is because Edam\nsees the system as,a tool for expression, but the art is the dance itself.\nHirabayashi did play with the\nsystem, though, causing a few\nhilarious moments when he tried to\nmove, and make a sound.\nIn all, this piece fell short of my\nexpectations \u00E2\u0080\u0094 I felt that more\ncould have been done to make the\nwork more interesting, aurally and\nvisually, but this is a new\ntechnology, only four sounds were\nprogrammed into the system, and\nthe dance was improvised.\nAnother new piece was\nLabyrinth, choreographed by\nRobert Desrosiers. It featured Lola\nMacLaughlin in a crazy white suit\nthat looked like a cross between a\nrobot, a fairy and a shell-fish. She\nwas at the mercy of the music, full\no.f fast changes which had her marching, being chased, swimming like\na blowfish, and going down with\nthe ship behind a box, to re-emerge\nin a martial-looking headpiece, to\nsounds of gun-fire and explosions.\nShe walked slowly to the front of\nthe stage, clapping together reflective boxes on her hands, and slowly\nbowed grandly several times as the\ncurtains closed.\nTwo of my favorite pieces of the\nevening were choreographed by\nBarbara Bourget. One, Impending\nDeath, was a 1982 work that had\nher, feet rooted to one spot, dancing with only her upper body. She\nconveyed a sense of strength and\ncalm, and seemed to be gathering\nthe earth to her, so the message\nabout death was only that it is inevitable, so we might as well live as\nbest we can.\nThe other was the finale of the\nnight, entitled The Hopes of the\nBald. It dealt with themes of alienation. A dancer, Sandra Acton, who\nfor some reason reminded me of\nSissy Spacek [she has that same\nquality of otherness that Spacek\nhad in Carrie] was at first out of\nsync with the three other female\ndancers and the one male [Jay\nHirabayashi].

Its power does not rise from\nits lot, its theme, or its political\nideology, but from the immediacy\nand depth of the confrontations it\nplaces on the screen. The film has\nthe rare ability to draw viewers out\nof themselves, and strand them\nsomewhere amidst the conflicts that\nconcern the movie's characters.\nA Woman In Flames\nat the Vancouver East Cinema\n3290 Commercial\nDirector and screenwriter Robert\nvan Ackeren builds these conflicts\naround issues that have been topical\nand contentious since the sixties.\nBut he does this without being explicitly political, and his comment\non sexual politics and the state of\nEuropean bourgeois mores is sharp\nwithout being heavy-handed.\nThe central figures in A Woman\nin Flames are two high-class prostitutes \u00E2\u0080\u0094 one male, one female \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nwho try to maintain their personal\nintimacy alongside their business\npartnership, which has them each\nentertaining tricks in their rather\nSi!\n^************************* =\nC't^Wv Proudly presents\nPLATINUM BLONDE\nIhe ALIEN SHORES TOUR\nwith Special Guests\nORPHAN\nSunday Sept 29 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 7:30 pm\nUBC War Memorial Gym\nTix: VTC/CBO and all usual outlets.\nInfo 280-4411 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Charge by Phone 280-4444\nProduced by MCM\nswank flat, turned split-level\nbordello.\nVan Ackeren does not play this\nsituation for laughs or cheap thrills.\nThe Johns that visit Eva are unnervingly perverse in their desire to be\nbound and mistreated. And the\nwomen who visit Chris are not\nstereotypic but pathetic and\ndesperate in their need for affection. Van Ackeren uses misdirected\nsexual energy as the barometer for\nthe unhappiness and flabbiness he\nsees in bourgeois society. In an affluent middle-class society peopled\nwith women who are sick 'Vf\nperversion at home\" and men\nwhose skewed self image leads them\nto pay more the worse they are\ntreated.\nEva and Chris appear at first to\nhave the good fortune of a ready\nmarket and a relationship with\nenough' respect to ward off\njealousy.\nBut van Ackeren denies them\nsuch heroic status. A sort of emotional anarchy \u00E2\u0080\u0094 stirred by affluence, jealously and more\nmisdirected sexual energy \u00E2\u0080\u0094 embroils them in a climax that makes\nthe film's title more than a\nthrowaway phrase.\nVan Ackeren mercifully declines\nto philosophize or to imagine any\nsolutions for the chaos he depicts..\nAnd his film never becomes gloomy\nor accusing. Though it is about confrontation and abuse, A Woman in\nFlames is an enticing film, like a\nblack mass with some irresistible\ncenter.\n59\nBy LAURA BUSHEIKIN\n\"VoiceOver\", at the Contemporary Art Gallery, is an exhibition\nof the works of three self-professed\n'feminist' artists. As the title indicates, the three artists use words\nas well as images in their art.\nIngrid Koenig's charcoal drawings of women artists and \"cultural\nworkers\" (as they are described in\nthe catalogue) were conceived in\nreaction to the male domination of\nthe world of art throughout history.\nUnder each drawing is a paragraph\ndescribing the subject. There is also\na series of panels interspersed between the drawings with a text by\nKoenig expressing her feelings\nabout being a woman artist.\nThe drawings are strong and\nlikable. Especially memorable are\nthe drawings of Lillian Allen and\nMurisia Bociurkiw. These are full\nof the strength and energy of their\nsubjects, as well as the obvious love\nand admiration the artist feels for\nthem. They are a joy and an inspiration to behold.\nKoenig, unfortunately, is a better\nartist than she is a writer. The texts\ndescribing each subject fail to\nengage the reader's emotions or to\nilluminate the pictures. Each text\nbegins with a long list of the subject's accomplishments; these lists\nare so long and full of jargon that\nthey alienate, rather than impress,\nthe reader. The panels of personal\nnarrative are generally unimpressive, except for the first which\ndeals with the role (or rather lack of\nit) of women in the history of art.\nBecause the written information\nis there, we must react to it. Unfortunately this interferes with rather\nthan enhances our appreciation of\nthe pictures.\nKoenig writes that \"In every\nphase of-our daily life we are engaged in warfare\"; since she believes\nthis, there is little doubt that every\nphase of her life will become a state\nof warfare. Her words are negative\nand destructive whereas her art is\npositive and constructive.\nKati Campbell's exhibits are\nphotographic constructions. \"Corpus: desperate mutations\" is a\nseries of box-like frames containing\nphotos of mouths behind fragments\nof printed text. The catalogue explains that Campbell is \"distancing\nwhat we know from what we want\nto know . . . The female voice\nyearns to articulate its \"fictive identity\" and name itself ...\"...\nHmm . . . Indeed . . . Well, perhaps\nthis is interesting as a sort of mental\ntease, but that is all.\nFrench film festival examines\nsociety at the end of its tether\n*\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2*\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2*\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2**\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2*\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2*\u00E2\u0080\u00A2*\u00E2\u0080\u00A2*****\nBy RONALD STEWART\nFrench society, before, during, and after World War Two\nwas quite different from what many people think.\nTwo French films shown Saturday by Pacific Cinematheque as part of its series France Before and After the Second\nWorld War proved this. The films are also two of the most\nimportant and fascinating works in the history of French\nfilm.\nLa Regie du Jeu\nDirected by Jean Renoir\nHiroshima, Mon Amour\nDirected by Alain Resnais\nAt the Pacific Cinematheque\nThe first, La Regie du Jeu (The Rules of the Game, 1939),\nwas directed by Jean Renoir. Renoir took a conventional\ncomedy of manners, complete with multiple love triangles\nand mistaken identities, and twisted it for the purpose of\nsocial criticism.\nAs Cinematheque programming director Mark Harris said\nin his introductory remarks, the film explores \"a society at\nthe end of its tether\" and \"captures the spirit of the age\".\nThe film's critical edge is so sharp that it caused political\nriots in Paris when the film was first released.\nThe reason for this uproar is obvious. The characters,\nCampbell's other piece,\n\"Possessed, Possession\" is a series\nof photos depicting a woman's\nreaction to a peeping-tom. She\nhangs a series of signs out of her\nwindow with such messages as,\n\"We know who you are: we watch\nyou ... we know your every move,\nwhen you operate, IT IS YOU\nWHO IS BEING WATCHED\",\nand \"YOU'LL PAY FOR IT, YOU\nPRICK!\" Here we have a healthy,\nassertive, and humorous outpouring of anger. As the title suggests\n(the two words are actually printed\none on top of the other) the tables\nhave truly been turned on this man;\nhis secret spying has been made\nblatantly public. Still, the work's\nvalue is more like that of a comic\nstrip, which it indeed resembles,\nthan a lasting piece of art.\nAmy Jones's work consists of\nthree lifesize mother-and-child\n.figures set on a stage. The figures\nare white and shrouded in drapery.\nThis, as well as the simple stage setting, is reminiscent of classical\nstatues. The figures have their own\nquiet eloquence, which renders unnecessary any direct, verbal, intellectual statement. There is a\nrecorded conversation which\nemanates from within the figures;\nthe voices seem to be talking about\nlife and motherhood, but the sound\nis muffled and unclear.\nThese sculptures convey both the\npredicament and the strength of\nwomen. The figures are faceless,\nstifled, and hidden by their clothes,\njust as women are hidden and trapped by the expectations and limitations of society. They stand alone,\non a bare stage, with their children;\njust as women, especially those with\nchildren, are relegated to the\nsidelines of society. Yet they stand\nproudly upright, their chins\nuplifted, facing forward, displaying\na confident strength and courage.\nThe fact that they are speaking,\neven though it is mostly unintelligible, is nice \u00E2\u0080\u0094 we realize with a sort\naristocrat and servant alike, go through the motions in their\nrelationships with each other and the world; none are certain\nof their feelings, they merely feel impelled to play the game.\nRenoir reinforces the chaos with kinetic camerawork and\nthe alienation with deep focus shots isolating characters\nwithin the frame. Renoir was one of the first directors to effectively use comedy for commentary was well as entertainment.\nHiroshima, Mon Amour [Hiroshima, My Love, 1959],\ndirected by Alain Resnais, was one of the first French new\nwave films.\nThe screenplay by novelist Margeurite Duras examines the\nexperiences of two lovers scarred by the war: a Japanese architect (Eiji Okada) whose family died in Hiroshima, and a\nFrench actress (Emmanuelle Riva) who fell in love with a\nGerman soldier.\nResnais makes the audience feel for the characters in spite\nof their moral ambiguity (both are married as well). He also\nuses inserts (later a hallmark of new wave cinema) to symbolically bind people, memories, and places. Resnais cuts\nbetween shots of the lovers entwined and the survivors of\nHiroshima; the architect and the dead soldier; and\nHiroshima and the actress' hometown in France.\nIn this way, the film explores the ambiguous effects of\ntime and place on memory and feeling. The constantly shifting narrative and thematic perspectives make this film enthralling and stirring.\nMEREDITH BELL. . .feminist artist\nof surprise that they have\nsomething to say. Here our expectations that a sculpture should be\nsilent is much like society's expectations 'that women have nothing to\nsay.\nThese are by far the best pieces of\nthe show. Here, ideas and aesthetics\nblend harmoniously. One needn't\nknow that one is seeing a feminist\nart show to absorb a sensitive and\nrelevant statement about women.\nThis statement is inherent within\nthe artwork itself.\nPolitical/feminist art works best\nwhen the artwork embodies, rather\nthan explains, or makes statements\nabout, the artist's beliefs. Otherwise, the politics interfere with the\nart, and the art does not necessarily\nilluminate the politics.\nS\"\nI WANT YOU\nto\nJOIN A CLUB TODAY!!\nGet Involved\nCLUBS'DAYS!\n\u00C2\u00A9\ni\nMonday, Sept. 23 & Tuesday, Sept. 24\nSTUDENT UNION BUILDING\nFirst and Second Floors\u00E2\u0080\u00949 a.m. to 4 p.m,\nrA\nPage Friday 2\nTHE UBYSSEY\nFriday, September 20, 1985\nTHE UBYSSEY\nPage Friday 3 reviews\nTalking heads offer sparcer, more traditional album\nBy TONY ROBERTS\nDavid Byrne, the prophet of\nparanoia and brains behind the\nTalking Heads has.left the world of\ndrugs and psycho killers to\ndiscover, of all things, babies.\nOn Little Creatures, the Talking\nHeads' sixth studio album, the\nband has abandoned the African-\ninfluenced rhythms for a sparser\nmore traditional sound.\nThe songs from Creatures are\nsimple melodies but usually contain\nsome curious twist, either musically\nor lyrically.

Of\nthe approximately 275 students in\ncentres she manages, about 225 are\nin buildings which will have to be\nabandoned by 1987.\n\"Parents who are paying $300 to $500 a\nmonth for daycare cannot raise enough to\nbuild a new building. \"\nwhen construction starts this fall on\na new student family housing\ndevelopment on the site. The housing project will replace 20 existing\nunits with 164 new ones with up to\n216 more children, not all of whom\nwill use daycare.\nAnother Acadia co-supervisor,\nJames Hutchinson, also likes the\ndaycare building he works in, one\nof several in the same area to the\nsoutheast of campus. He appreciates the custom work such as\nhalf walls and other play areas\nwhich parents have built over the\nyears but still wants to see it replaced.\n\"They're falling to pieces,\" he\nsays. \"It would be nice to have new\nbuildings.\"\nUBC Daycare coordinator Mab\nOloman looks after 11 separate\ndaycare units including four centres\nfor children 18 months to three\nyears old, five for ages three to five,\na pre-school for three to four year\nShe describes the cooperative\nmanagement and separate individual identity of the facilities as a\ncrucial factor. \"I'm concerned that\nwe maintain that individuality,\"\nshe says.\n\"That's the reason why some of\nthem are considered the best in the\ncity,\" she says. \"Our staff are very\ngood and they like working here;\nthere is a low turnover.\"\nShe adds the location by the endowment lands is ideal for bud and\ntadpole hunting expeditions which\nenrich the day for children.\nShe has her own list of problems\nwith the existing facility, starting\nwith the plumbing which has no\npressure. \"You can't clean your\nhands and brush your teeth at the\nsame time,\" she says.\nLast December the staff in some\nof the daycares found rats eating\nthe corners off the.mats, added\nOloman. She says she is \"really\ngrateful to the AMS for taking up\nthe challenge of (raising funds for)\ndaycare,\" adding she hopes other\nparts of the campus such as alumni\nand staff will help.\n\"Parents who are paying\n$30O-$5OO a month for daycare cannot raise enough to build a new\nbuilding,\" she says.\nHolubitsky says the current push\nfor new daycare buildings started\nafter 1983 when the fire marshal\ngave the buildings a \"five year only\nextension\" following $200,000 in\nwork to bring them closer to fire\ncode.\nDaycare first appeared at UBC in\n1967 when parents set the precedent\nof forming a non-profit society\nunder the provincial childcare act\ncalled UBC Kindercare Society.\nThis was followed by Acadia, Units\nI and II, Canada Goose, Tillicum,\nSummer of '73, Lilliput, and Pen-\ntacare daycares and finally University Hill after school care, founded\nin 1976.\n\"Since 1976 no new daycare\nfacilities have started on campus\neven though the need has continued\nto grow. There has been a move to\nbuild more daycare ever since\nthen,\" he says, adding for the last\nseveral years UBC daycare has been\ncompletely full with a long waiting\nlist equal to the number of spaces.\nFor the moment he is sticking to\nfundraising to replace the existing\ndaycare.\n\"What we are trying to do is\nwithin a limited budget of $1\nmillion replace all the existing\nfacilities in the simplest construction that will be fully functional,\"\nhe says, adding money for expansion can be raised later.\nSee page 12: DAYCARE\nJOIN THE\nUBC\nSKI\nCLUB\nCome and Visit Us on Clubs Days or in SUB 210\nand get . . .\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 cheap accomodation at\nWhistler\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 discounts on ski tickets\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 discounts at local ski\nstores\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 beer gardens\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 fun and frolic\nINTERESTED IN CA EMPLOYMENT?\nARTHUR ANDERSEN & CO. is seeking 1986 graduates\nfor Vancouver and all other offices of the Firm.

By law each 18 months to\nthree years unit must have no more\nthan 12 children and at least three\nstaff and each over three unit can\nhave 25 children and four professional staff.\nThe law won't allow more than\nthree units to be joined together\nand Kingsmill says he wants to keep\nall the units separate so they can\nmaintain their individual identity.\nHe wants to maintain the involvement of parents in the management\nof their own daycare. If the\nbuilding is \"like an institution it\npromotes an attitude that whenever\nthere's anything wrong you just\nlook to the big caretaker,\" he says.\nOne plan he mentioned is to\ncreate a street pattern through the\nsite with different buildings along\nthe way.\n\"We could develop one house as\na town hall . . . another as a fire station in an environment that is a safe\nreplica of the real thing.\"\nKingsmill doesn't see starting immediately and points out no final\ndesign decisions have been reached.\nAlumni Association executive\ndirector Dan Spinner said he is\ndelighted with the daycare proposal\nand his organization is quite interested in the project but wouldn't\ndecide exactly what to do until a\ncommittee meeting this month.\nHe said he had received a letter of\nencouragement about supporting\ndaycare from President pro-tem\nRobert Smith but added it would be\nbetter if users and connected bodies\nsuch as faculty and staff chipped in.\n\"It's a lot easier for us to raise\nmoney when we know the users are\ncontributing,\" Spinner says.\nFaculty association president\nSidney Mindess said his association\nsupported the principle of providing money to fund daycare but\nwouldn't be committing any funds.\n\"It's not one of the highest\npriorities we have as a faculty\nassociation,\" he said. \"We are not\ndoing anything on it.\"\nDaycare committee chair Neil\nRisebrough, UBC associate vice-\npresident student services, says\n\"within two months we should have\nthe final (funding) committments\nthat we need.\"\n\"If it wasn't for the students taking the initiative here then we would\nbe having a very difficult time.\"\nHe says he is certain alternate\nfacilities can be found for the\nAcadia daycare when they lose their\nbuilding in the fall.\nHe pointed out UBC has the\nlargest daycare of any university in\nCanada.\nGraham, a child at Acadia\ndaycare, said he likes the saws, the\nhammers and the wood axe at the\ncentre.\nHis mother said, \"I'm really sad\nthis building is doomed,\" adding\nshe had only been associated with\nAcadia for a few months and was\nvery impressed.\nCHILD. . .patrolling daycare\na\nQtsJtSTOJOjy^\nAlmost a litre\nof that dear*, smooth\ntaste in an all new aluminum can.

Page 16\nTHE UBYSSEY\nFriday, September 20, 1985\nTime to explain art\nBy DAVID McCULLUM\nOn Tuesday evening, CBC radio\nfeatured a program on performance\nart \u00E2\u0080\u0094 a recent phenomenon in New\nYork where people get up on stage\nin nightclubs, and, as they put it,\n\"do their own thing\".\nA featured performance of the\nevening the reporter attended was a\nBritish gentleman who appeared in\nfront of the intrigued spectators\ndressed in his underpants and sporting a steel bowl strapped to his\nchest. As he banged loudly on his\nbowl with a spoon, he introduced\nthe members of his family. Each\nfamily member was a doll, produced magically from his underwear.\n\"1 keep my family in my underpants because I can't afford a\nbackpack.\"\n(freestyle)\nWho are we to judge, but c'mon;\nthat's entertainment?\nAnother performer was\nAmerican social commentator Annie Liebowitz. She figured she\ncould entertain the masses by\nreading portions of her new book,\nand then answering questions. People asked if she played tennis, and\nwhat newspaper she reads (pretty\nhigh-brow crowds they get in\nManhattan).\n\"1 read the National Enquirer,\"\nsaid Liebowitz. \"It's as accurate as\nany other paper in America and the\nnewsprint doesn't come off in your\nhands.\"\nI bet some people laughed for\nweeks. Not everybody, though.\n\"What'd you think?\" asked the\nintrepid reporter.\n\"It's awful,\" replied an obviously pissed off woman.\n\"What're you going to do?\" said\nthe reporter.\n\"Leave\" she said.\nWait a minute here. Think about\nthat one for a moment. How many\nmovies have you seen this year that\nleft you feeling cheated, nauseous,\nor worse? How many of them did\nyou walk out of? Not one, I'll bet (I\nknow I sat through them all, even\nTeen Wolf).\nWhy is this so? What makes us\nthe celluloid sheep willing to watch\n120 minutes of pure garbage,\nprivilege? Shouldn't we do\nsomething about this?\nNow I'm the first one to admit\nthat voting with one's feet doesn't\ndo a thing to get one's money back\nfrom the greedy or grubby hands\nof the theatre chains (who by the\nway, must have larger profits than\nthe oil companies we all love to\nhate), but imagine the reaction of\nthe management when they open up\nthe doors to the cinematic cubicle\nthey have the nerve to call a theatre,\nand find . . . Empty seats. That's\nwhat these movies (and sporting\nevents and musical performances et\ncetera) demand. In fact, they're\nfairly crying out for consumer\navoidance.\nIf you're fed up with the quality\nof much of the entertainment offered up for our ever-decreasing\nbuck, do what I plan to do when the\nnext Porky's sequel is released: vote\nwith my feet.\nDavid McCullum is an energetic\nnew Ubyssey staffer who is mad as\nhell and isn 't going to take second-\nrate entertainment anymore.\nRegister NOW with the\nUBC DANCE CLUB\nand enjoy\nMeeting People \u00E2\u0080\u0094 Learning to.dance \u00E2\u0080\u0094 Lessons\ntaught by professionals \u00E2\u0080\u0094 monthly parties \u00E2\u0080\u0094 and\nmuch more.\nat LOW, LOW Prices!!\nContact: UBC Dance Club-Upper SUB (228-3248)\nJOIN THE FUN!!!\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2Free Jive Lessons, Friday, September 20, 27 at 12:30 p.m.\nSUB PARTY ROOM\nSTUDENT SPECIAL\n20% OFF\nTHE REGULAR PRICES\nOF ALL MERCHANDISE\nIN THE STORE.\nWith a copy of this ad\nor the presentation of\nan AMS Card.\nBig savings on hockey equipment, soccer boots, racquets, running wear,\nsports bags, day packs, etc. etc. etc.\nat\nCOMMUNITY SPORTS\n3615 West Broadway\n733-1612\nOPEN SUNDA YS NOON TO 5:00 P.M.\nTHIS OFFER EXPIRES SEPT. 30/85\nf UPA) - Grey Soviet tanks rotted into the Persian Gotf yesterday, tending the greenback U.S. dollar \u00E2\u0080\u0094 along with aft gray Western currency \u00E2\u0080\u0094 to eft-time lows.\nRiot* ensued in New York between Week* end whites and grey*, in Los Angela* between Hispanic* and whites greys.
