Every weekend they peer\nthrough the city classifieds and queue up.\nThey have several dozen competitors in the first\nhours ofthe next business day. The positions are usually\nsnatched up immediately with shrewd employers\ncontrolling the market\nAfter a hard search, one UBC student last summer\nsettled for the oddest of jobs. First he was a pillow staffer.\nThen a telephone stacker and finally, like several thousand\nuniversity students, a tree planter. His experience failed\nto develop his computer science career.\nHe resorted to a temporary agency, an employment\npimp who takes a cut for hooking him up with one of their\nclients.\nOnly minimum-wage McJobs, enough for room-\nand-board, remain plentiful for university students and\nmore than often, they are only part-time.\nA McJob may earn a student $3,600 but an independent\nstudent would need at least $ 11,000 to devote a year of full-\ntime school. UBC's financial services may lend a maximum\nof about $7200 to an independent But ironically, they define\nan independent as someone who has graduated from high\nschool for four years, a time period when most students have\nfinished university. Those who are n ot deemed independent\neven though they live away from home, receive far less.\nTiie lucky students are those who have already worked a\njob for a long duration.\nChristina Pao, 21, a UBC 4th year international relations\nstudent spent the last three summers tracing lost mail for a\nlocal courier. S he earned $ 10 an hour, a wage considered high\nfor a university student\n\"It was the worst department in the world,\" Pao said.\n\"Once a funeral service called about missing ashes.\"\nPao's father helped pay for her tuition. For seven hours a\nweek Pao teaches piano lessons to a dozen students to help pay\nfor her $280 a month rent at Gage Towers.\nWhen she graduates, the Master of Business\nAdministration hopeful is considering leaving the country\nlike many of her peers. She believes her career fortune may lie\nin Hong Kong.\n\"My friends tell me if I've got a degree and I have\nCanadian citizenship, I've got good chances.\"\nIn Vancouver, even university prodigies are finding\nit tough to secure full-time employment\nFourth-year UBC arts straight-A trilingual scholarship\nstudent Athena Chan, 21, supports herself by teaching\npiano every Saturday charging $24 an hour. But the\nmoney she makes part-time cannot cover the Gage tower\nresident's expenses and she must borrow from both her\nparents. She cannot find a full-time job.\nSaid Chan: \"Compared with other people I'm very\nlucky to be able to teach piano,\" said Chan who frequently\nvolunteers for community services.\nMany students are finding that career-oriented jobs\nequate to low or no wages. But they still must think of then-\ncareers.\nSoon to study Mandarin at UBC, Devina\nBalhadoorsingh 3rd year UBC social work student has\nsigned two one-year contracts to volunteer, one for the\nRCMP's victim support services and one for Richmond\ncrisis line. Her two supervisors each offer 60 hours of free\ntraining whereas some others require a volunteer to pay\nfor training.\nSee dream jobs page 5 Tuesday, February 23,1993\nPOW\n\bl. 75, No. 37\nI CLASSIFIED \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 822-3978\nCLASSIFIED ADVERTISING\nRates: AMS cardholders-3 lines $3.

Hwang\nfollowed the advice, rewrote FOB\n(Fresh Off the Boat) and had\nstudents perform it in his\ndormitory.\nHe sent the script to the\nNational Playwrights' Conference\nfor the Eugene O'Neill Theatre\nCenter in Connecticut, reknown\nfor its new plays. The next year,\n1979, Hwang got his break. The\ntheatre group loved FOB and\nHwang was catapulted into\nliterary stardom.\nThe media immediately\npegged an unprepared Hwang as a\nliterary spokesperson for Asian-\nAmericans, even though he was\nstill ambivalent about his own\nethnicity. His role models were\nprimarily Caucasian.\nFOB starred John Lone, who\nbroke onto the film industry in\nBernardo Bertolucci's The Last\nEmperor. It opened at New York's\nPublic Threatre in 1980 and won\nHwang and Lone Obie awards.\nThe play examines the\nassimilation barriers that\nimmigrants contend with in an\nunfamiliar society. FOB is about a\nyoung, rich newcomer from Hong\nKong who clashes culturally with\nhis Chinese-American cousins.\nHwang's interests focused on\nunderstanding the Chinese\nidentity. He once viewed being\nChinese as a \"minor detail, like\nhaving red hair.\" He told the New\nYork Times: \"I never got a lot in\nschool to contradict that.\"\nAccording to Hwang, his parents\ndid not inspire him to learn about\n<&>\nmm\n<&\n- -<<*x\nKWEDGf\n1 PIZZA CO.

He lived an upper-\nmiddle class life in San Gabriel,\nCalifornia, relatively sheltered\nfrom racial tensions.\nIt was not until he entered a\nSam Shepard theatre workshop in\n1978 that he explored his\nsupressed Chinese identity and\nfinished FOB. The play itself\nreceived mixed reactions from the\nAsian-American community and\nHwang told the New York Times:\n\"This is a community that is\ngenerally not represented well at\nall on the stage, in the media, et\ncetera. So on those few occasions\nwhen something comes along\neverybody feels obligated to make\nsure that it represents his own\nHwang \\npoint of view\u00E2\u0080\u0094and of course no\nartist can do that..\"\nHe followed FOB with\nlackluster plays such as The\nDance and the Railroad (1981),\nand Family Devotions and Rich\nRelations.\nIt was not until M. Butterfly's\n1988 Broadway production that he\nemerged as a leading playwright\nin the US. The production broke\nconventions in commercial theatre\nwith the use of Chinese opera and\na fusion of Lucia Hwang's\nmusical score and Puccini's\nMadama Butterfly.\nThe play is based on a\nbizarre tale that was told in the\nNew York Times in 1986 about\nBernard Boursicot, an ex-French\ndiplomat who had an affair with\nBeijing opera star Shi Peipu, a\nChinese spy.

Young\nmaster Wong Fei-hong, dressed in white for his morality and\nvirginity, is naive and irresponsible. His three teachers are\ndevoted to the upkeep his family's name, as promised at their\nmaster's and his father's deathbed. Kung Fu and medicine are\ntheir specialities. Wong, however, is a lazy undeserving\nstudent whose only skill is cooking. The villagers believe him\nto be the master and his mentors the disciples.\nA black clad rival, Ken Shek, is your usual one-\ndimensional villain. The more the public hates him the more\nhe despises Wong and seeks to prove his supremacy. Ken\nShek later teams up with an even worse villain, Indiana Jones,\nwho offers him money for selling retailing opium and firearms.\nJones is a Chinese stereotype, a historical composite sketch of\na Caucasian: round sunglasses wearing American with a bad\nattitude and a mind for deceit; an instigator of drugs, guns, and\nrape. Needless to say, this alliance backfires on Shek.\nUndeniably, there are some comical scenes but many are\nat the expense of the two women who are suppressed subplot\ncharacters. The film lacks substance, the use of a formula plot\nleaves little for surprise. The ending revolves around the\ntypically redundant hero story. The unwilling protagonist\nmust duel, against all odds, the much more powerful villain.\nMovies are changed every Thursday but call to confirm\n(688-3868). Don'tbother if you can't understand Cantonese,\nit's a recording.\nThe new coming and the old lingering\nBY WANDA CHOW\nBEIJING\u00E2\u0080\u0094In a guided tour of China we were being fed\nimages through rose-coloured glasses.\nArmy and police officers were everywhere guarding\nTiananmen Square and even at intervals along isolated stretches\nof highway.\nBut soon our pink glasses were shattered when at our\ngovernment-run hotel police swarmed our national guide. She\nhad complained of filling outyet another streamofbureaucratic\npaper. The bureau didn't appreciate it The hotel staff called\nthe cops.\nThere seems to be also a separate set of rules for\ngovernment officials.\nAt Xian our airplane tickets were refused owing to a\ngovernment convention which needed extra tickets.\nThough life has been easier in China, where a quarter of\nthe world's people live, strict rules are still enforced. The\ninfamous one-child per family policy, a government tool for\npopulation control, can cause a salary reduction if violated\nespecially in the cities. In the rural areas, the rule is slightly\nmore flexible for a male-oriented labour demand: If the first\nchild is female, the fam ily may have another in five years time.\nIf it is boy, no more children are allowed.\nEven more difficult, at marriage a couple is issued a card\nstating the year they may have a child. A \"premature\" birth is\npunishable with a $ 1250 fine. Keep in mind our national guide\nearns $40 a month, a good wage here.\nThe streets are tidied by human sweepers. Most people\nare still state-employed although by paying higher taxes, a\ncitizen may acquire a business permit.\nIn America, the middle-class dream was once a house and\ntwo cars. In China, the dream is first a refrigerator, then a TV\nand hopefully, a car. Houses are unthinkable but, with higher\nsalaries, many own flats. However, vacancy rates are so low\nthat even when couples divorce, they continue to live together.\nWhile imported goods like electronic equipment are\nincreasingly available they remain prohibitively expensive.\nAnd Chinese-made handicrafts and cigarettes are so limited in\nproduction that their sales are reserved for tourists in \"friendship\nstores.\" Locals haggle for foreign currency which enables\nthem to legally by domestic products.\nLife may be easier in China, but easier is a relative.\nISRAEL FILM FROM PACE 11\t\nEither way, the film provides misleading, pat answers\nto questions that are both socially and politically complex.\nThe fact that Mr. Goldf arbs' friend from Canada\u00E2\u0080\u0094who\nleft Israel to seek his fortune in America\u00E2\u0080\u0094is depicted as a\npathetic, untrustworthy con artist is also disturbing. His\neventual betrayal of the Goldfarbs is quite obviously intended\nto be symbolic of his \"betrayal\" of Israel.\nWhile Over the Ocean is interesting and somewhat\nprovocative, it fails the crucial test While it could have taken\nrisks, it doesn't\nOver the Ocean was presented by Hillel House as part\nof Israel Week, which continues until Friday. ArabAwarenes\nWeek and Israel week run concurrently through until Friday.\nLook out for scheduled events.\nHWANG FROM PAGE 7\nBoursicourt, Peipu was also a man.\nHwang depicts the diplomat as deluding himself into\nbelieving that the Asian singer was a 'butterfly'\u00E2\u0080\u0094a\nsubmissive Oriental woman. He uses the butterfly as a\nmetaphor for the West's attitude toward Asia, whereby the\nformer views itself as a masculine power and views the\nlatter as submissive and feminine.\nThe notion of a weak East and a powerful West\ninspired Pierre Loti's 1888 novel Madame Chrysantheme\nand John Luther Long's 1898 short story Madame Butterfly\n(upon which Puccini's Opera is based). Both stories depict\na beautiful geisha in love with a white visitor and dies for\nhim out of devotion.\nIn a particularly moving scene from M. Butterfly,\nSong Liling (the Butterfly) challenges Gallimard (Hwang's\ndiplomat): \"What would you say if a blonde homecoming\nqueen fell in love with a short Japanese businessman? He\ntreats her cruelly, then goes home for three years, during\nwhich time she prays to his picture and turns down\nmarriage from a young Kennedy. Then, when she learns he\nhas remarried, she kills herself. Now, I believe you would\nconsider this girl to be a deranged idiot, correct? But\nbecause it is an Oriental who kills herself for an\nAmerican\u00E2\u0080\u0094ah!\u00E2\u0080\u0094you find it beautiful.\"\nAfter winning a Tony award for M. Butterfly, Hwang\nre-entered public life by fronting opposition against\nCameron Mackintosh's Broadway hit Miss Saigon.\nMackintosh had imported a Caucasian actor, Jonathan\nPryce, from Britain to play an Asian lead.\nMiss Saigon also plays upon the the Madama\nButterfly concept, depicting a romance between an\nAmerican soldier and a Vietnamese bargirl during the fall\nof Saigon. Hwang's vocal opposition prompted the Actors'\nEquity union to prohibit Pryce from performing.\nBut when Miss Saigon's director threatened to\nclose the US run, the decision was reversed. Hwang wrote\nthat the rage expressed by Asian-American actors was the\nresult of years of Asians being \"caricatured or passed over\non our stages and, lata-, screens, since European\ncolonization of Asia.\" He argued that Asians only played\nstereotypes such as \"the crafty Oriental\" epitomized by Dr.\nFu Manchu and exotic myths like in Coleridge's poem\n\"KublaKhan.\"\nAsian men were, thus, depicted as lacking\nsexuality and power. Asian actors were restricted to either\nsubmissive servant or evil enemy roles.

The daughter\nlistens to Elvis records, the mother cooks lousy meatloaf, and\nthe father dreams of being a real; estate contractor.\nBut all of these things and these dreams aren't quite\nenough to keep the family happy.\nThe father is especially restless. His new 'home' is far\nfrom perfect His daughter is running around with a local\nhood, die tax collectors want to audit his store...\nSo, Mr. Goldfarb decides to move to Toronto to try\nagain. After all, if you are going to live the American dream,\nshouldn't you do it in America?\nHaimke is the one character that seems to dream of\nsomething more meaningful than cars, homes and money.\nHehasawide-eyed,innocentlovefor Israel. He absolutely\ndreads leaving for Canada and, at one point, he even runs away\nin protest\nHaimke worships the memory of his dead uncle, a\nforma* paratrooper who died \"defending\" the state of Israel,\nand he looks up to his mother's brother, the \"Social-Zionist\"\nwho works a small livestock farm somewhere in the\ncountryside. He too want to be a paratrooper, to \"defend\" his\ncountry, and to claim his own plot of the Israeli frontier.\nThis is where the film falters;. Haimke's innocent\npatriotism and desire to serve in his; country's army goes\nvirtually unexamined. Over the Ocean presents us with all of\nthe romance and none of the horrors of how the state of Israel\nwas established and settled.\nStrangely, the war which claimed the life of Haimke's\nuncle seems to be a world away from the Goldfarbs' \"petit-\nbourgeois\" existence. It is only when die family vists the dead\nuncle's grave that they seem to be at all in touch with the\nreality that surrounds them.\nIn the end, the Goldfarbs decide: to stay in Israel. This\nmay be interpreted as an act of commitment to the Jewish state\nor, perhaps, a realization that they cannot run away from their\nproblems. , _\nSee page 10\nON THE BOULEVARD\ns3\u00C2\u00B0\u00C2\u00B0 off cuts\ns1500 off perms\nwith presentation of this ad\n5784 University Boulevard\nHair Care Services\nEsthetician\nSuntanning Special\n10 sessions for 29'\nExpires March 30/93\nPhone 224-1922\n224-9116\nGALLERY POSITIONS\n STUDENT\nROW foR.
