THE UBYSSEY .Vol. LXIX, No. JO 2 Vancouver, B.C. Friday, November 28,1986 228-230V Hetero week motives questioned By SCOT MacDONALD Insecure heterosexuals rejoice, next week's Heterosexuality Week is for you. Organizers say the week is just a joke and not meant to offend anyone. Patrick Kirkwood, a Sigma Chi fraternity member, said "we're just promoting heterosexuality but we have nothing against gays and lesbians." He went on to say he hoped by having a week to "help heterosexuals who may not be confident with their sexual beliefs" it would help decrease the tension created by Gays and Lesbians' Pride week. The week, organized by members of Sigma Chi, was originally set up for "parody affect" with a format "indentical to the Gays and Lesbian's Pride week" explained Kirkwood. He said that he "desperately wants to avoid bad feelings between" heterosexuals and homosexuals. Doug Bryson, assistant co-ordinator of the week, said the week was set up to "celebrate heterosexuality". The week will start off with Born to Breed buttons sold in SUB on Monday, December 1, jeans day on Wednesday, and a dance on Friday night in the SUB ballroom. Scott Beveridge, vice-president of the Gays and Lesbians of UBC, said "originally I thought it was funny." He supported a week to "bring up topics and feelings that heterosexuals feel are important." Beveridge said he is "afraid of a small percentage of the population who will take it the wrong way and will use it to foster anti-gay feelings." Beveridge said "we (Gays and Lesbians) are a minority" and he wanted to avoid any conflict because "we'll get the heat." Brent Lymer, Inter-Fraternity president, said "at first I thought it was funny but it has gotten out of hand." Although the week seemed to be backed by Sigma Chi Fraternity, he said it is "not an official function of Sigma Chi." Although Lymer represents 10 fraternaties and over 1,300 people, Kirkwood said that Lymer is an "individual" and has "no input" into the H week program. He stressed that although Sigma Chi may be associated with the week, "it is meant to represent and encompass the whole campus" and all heterosexuals. Kirkwood said his fraternity Sigma Chi, does not use sexual orientation as an issue to determine acceptance of members. "We don't discriminate and we don't choose by it," he said. The promoters of H week also appear to be behind the Fight back THESE MEN ARE heterosexual — straight UBC women can breathe a sigh of relief. Jennifer lyall photo Wilfred Laurier faculty divest By The Canadian University Press and The Ubyssey Staff More than $880,000 of the Wilfrid Laurier University faculty association's pension fund is invested in with holdings in the apartheid nation of South Africa, faculty recently learned. The response was swift. They immediately voted to divest at a Nov. 12 meeting. The motion called on trustees to divest of $252,000 in Seagram's Company Ltd., $188,000 in Rothmans, $183,000 in Cominco Ltd., and $157,000 in General Electric. In addition, faculty passed a motion to initiate discussion with the student union with a view to jointly participating in more "concrete action", said association president Paul Albright. Student union president Brian Thompson said he would welcome any initiative from faculty. Political Science professor John Redekop suggests funding scholarships for black South African students, tenable at Laurier. Albright said faculty were led to advocate divestment by their consciences. "Whether this will speed the process of dismantling apartheid is where honest men can differ," he said. Last year, UBC's Board of Governors indicated it had $1 million from its $90 million endowment fund in six companies that have ties with South Africa. It also reported it had $717,000 from its $90 million staff pension fund in three companies with interests in Pretoria. The Board voted in October to sell its shares in two of the companies but left the door open for future investments. The university's Anti-apartheid group has labelled the board's measures as "token divestment," and says it will not be satisfied with anything short of total divestment. Wilfred Laurier sociology and Anthropology professor Andrew Lyons said there is a "lack of awareness here and in North America about South Africa." Lyons, who is active in the anti- apartheid movement, noted Laurier offers only one course on Africa. "It's only offered (every) couple of years, and until recently had very low enrollment," Lyons said. Albright stressed discussion of the issue focused on what more the association could do other than a "showy display for the public eye." Lyons said he was pleased by the divestiture, but added it is only part of "a vast public process". Albright cautioned however that the resolution may not be necessarily binding on the trustees who administer the fund. Dorothy posters which appeared last week in SUB. These refer to the Gays and Lesbians' "Surrender Dorothy" dance held on Nov. 22. Beveridge said the posters were "a good response to a good publicity campaign" on the Gays and Lesbian's part. Some members of the Gays and Lesbians Club liked the idea of H week but feared it would get out of hand. Roger Mostad, a club member said H week is "alright but I'm afraid of what's gonna happen." He added it would be "great if it doesn't get out of hand" but that the Gays and Lesbians would have "more fun" during their week. Both the backers of H week, some of whom are Sigma Chi men, and the Gays and Lesbians, said they want to avoid conflict. Students gyped By PATTI FLATHER Thousands of UBC students may (have participated in several illegal pyramid schemes that began in September, with investments ranging from a case of beer to $500 and the lure being an 800 per cent profit to help pay tuition and living costs. The RCMP and some students who have refused to participate warn that seven of every eight people lose in such schemes, and that anyone who enters now is almost certain to lose. "Students by and large don't have a lot of money," said University RCMP Sgt. Don Schlecker. "It hits the students where they're most vulnerable." Students said the schemes are spread by word of mouth through friends and a student residence representative said cash has been exchanged in meetings at Sedgewick Library and Gage Towers among other places. Gage Community Council president Duane Mackie said he knows many students involved in pyramids, and was approached by someone in his own faculty, commerce, to attend a meeting. Mackie said he knows at least six students who. entered the schemes early, when the turnover was only five or six days, and made large profits. But, he said, as more students have become involved in the schemes, which expand exponentially as each new investor tries to bring eight others in, the schemes are starting to fall apart because the field of students has been saturated. One history student who paid $500 into a pyramid, with the promise of a $4,000 profit, said he is Marzari wins recount Although it will not be official until Friday at 4:30 p.m., NDP candidate Darlene Marzari has once again been found the winner of the second Point Grey seat. The recount was filed by the Social Credit Party on November 13' after Marzari defeated incumbent Pat McGeer by just 40 votes. After the recount, completed yesterday, the margin of victory was 55 votes. When contacted by phone on Thursday Marzari said she wanted "To thank th* UBC students for finding the poll and for waiting in the horrendous iine-ups. I knew it was the university poll and section 80 ballots that put me where I am," she said. The riding was previously heW for"24 year? by Pat McGeer. When asked if he he would consider running in three years time Pat McGeer said, "Who knows what the future holds?" The Social Credit Party can appeal to the Supreme Court for another recount no later than 4:30 p.m. Friday. still waiting for the money he thought would help finance his tuition and living costs. The student, who asked not to be identified, said he knows of at least one other $500 pyramid and several $100 ones. Another part-time student who entered a $500 pyramid off-campus in the first week of school said she was living from month to month worrying about paying bills and being able to buy clothes for her lover's children. The woman, who also requested •her name not be used, said she thought the scheme would be fun and could not fail. She said she attended meetings every other evening with as many as 70 people, all "totally hyped." Her school work began to suffer. "I couldn't get to sleep I was so excited," she said. But when things started to go wrong, "people started getting really furious with each other. Money does funny things to people." When her pyramid collapsed, the student was lucky — her money was returned. She said most people in her pyramid really needed the money, for tuition or a mortgage. "The people who are interested in pyramid schemes are the same people who buy lottery tickets, the people who have no hope of getting a little money," she said in an interview. David DeRosa, science 2, said he and roommate John Landis, president of UBC's Social Credit club, have had phone calls in the last three weeks from friends they haven't heard from in a long time asking them to join pyramids. "It's a good way to lose friendships," said DeRosa, who was contacted by students at Langara College and BCIT as well as at UBC. DeRosa said one friend in a beer pyramid put in one case of beer and ended up with 16 cases, adding that the liquor pyramids do not bother him as much. The University RCMP have received only one complaint about UBC pyramids, which has been passed on to the Vancouver police's commercial crime section, said Sgt. Schlecker. The schemes, illegal under section 19 of the Criminal Code, are difficult to prosecute, he said, because victims are embarrassed and reluctant to go to police, and because of the sheer numbers of people involved in tracking pyramid organizers. Page 2 THE UBYSSEY Friday, November 28,1986 Cutbacks will hurt handicapped By ALLISON FELKER The B.C. Coalition ofthe Disabled, an advocacy support group for disabled people, has launched a much-needed fundraising campaign to combat cutbacks. "There has been a turndown of support services", said Margaret Birrell, executive director of the Vancouver-based coalition. "Premier Bill Vander Zalm has said he does not believe in funding, direct lobbying, or advocacy groups. He doesn't realize we're lobbying for issues, not against parties," she said. Some of the issues the coalition is currently lobbying for are improved accessibility, affordable housing, and better transportation for the disabled. The coalition is also concerned about the federal government's new drug patent policy and its effect on disabled people who need medicine. Started in 1977, the coalition The Ubyssey NEEDS photographers TRUE CHROME AT THIS PRICE! Larry's Not Kidding!! EXTRA 10% OFF WIWAMSdCARDl CASE OF 10 *25 2053 WEST 41st AVE.

The campaign goal is $15,000. "The organisation is very costly — we need the extra money for publicity and for educational activities," Birrell said. The coalition also acts as an information and referral centre, and this service suffers without adequate funding. The campaign for funding is an experiment in telemarketing. This includes sending letters throughout B.C. to increase awareness of the coalition and asking for funding, Birrell said. Peter Carver, chairperson of the coalition board said, "restraint has definitely hit us hard. We are not favored with provincial government funding." Carver, who is confined to a wheel chair because of arthritis, added that restraint has hurt "the in dependent living" of the disabled. Carver uses homemaking services, and said that some people can no longer afford such help. Another problem for the disabled is the attitude of some non-disabled people. "There is a degree of frustration in meeting these barriers, especially in obtaining employment. People don't realize that a physical disability has nothing to do with working ability," Carver said. /pirns CHRISTMAS FAIR November 24 - December 19, 1986 SUB Main Concourse Display Area BHB' ENGLISH COMPOSITION TEST SEMINAR ii HOW TO PASS" SUB BALLROOM Guest Speaker: Ms. Nancy Horsman WF.DNKSDAY, DKCKMBKR 3 12:30 Please be seated early.

Bishop's University stops funding LENNOXVILLE (CUP) — The student council at Bishop's University has set precedent in Quebec by deciding to fund a political club on campus. John Ryan, president of the Young Liberals Club, successfully presented a request for funding at a recent council meeting even though all club budgets were approved last spring. The funding will come from the — vanier cup committee photo . . . while tears flowed from the eyes of Western Mustang players on the bench — they came so close to winning it all. contingency funds of the council's budget. The motion was to approve $50 immediately and another $25 in January. "(The funding) broke the long held precedent of the student council which said that political clubs would not be given student funding," said Mark Taylor, a council representative. "Both the NDP and Conservative clubs were turned down before . . . The student council acted in haste without proper judgement." But Ryan argued that although a precedent has been set, the council's constitution does not specifically state that political clubs cannot be funded. Council president Chris LeClair said funding a political club should not be confused with funding a political party. None of the money the Liberal club receives will go to the Liberal party or be used to support candidates in election. "We're funding political involvement, not an entity with a strict ideology," he said. No other university in Quebec fund political clubs on campus, according to the largest student organization, l'Association Na- tionale des Edudiantes du Quebec. McGill and Concordia universities in Montreal both recognize political clubs, but do not fund them or provide office space. "There are so many political and religious groups, we couldn't afford to fund them all," said McGill council vice-president Lindsay Glassco. "It's setting dangerous precedent at Bishop's. They'll have to set limits or they could be approached by anybody in the future." Concordia council co-president Scott White said funding a club is the same as funding the actual party. "If it happened here, it would damage our credibility by favouring one party over another. We weren't elected to be spokespeople for any political party," he said. Racism gets boot The B.C. Federation of Labour has launched an anti-racism campaign with the assistance of the federal government. Federation leader Art Kube said that every time there is an economic downturn, considerable fear is aroused by racists and bigots, resulting in attacks on visible minorities. "We are trying to build a bulward within the trade union movement to oppose and eradicate racism," said Kube. The federation's plan is to develop human rights committees and labour councils to plug into the human rights network, said Kube. "Adjustment committees would implement hiring policies designed to overcome systemic discrimination", said Kube. The campaign will be conducted within the trade union movement and in homes, said Kube. "Racism is anti-worker and it destroys the solidarity of workers" said Kube. The campaign will be concerned with raising worker awareness to the damage racism does, said Kube. He said the campaign is necessary for many reasons, but, in particular because of the elimination of the human rights commission and the human rights branch. "We are filling a vacuum that is largely the responsibility of the provincial government", said Kube. The federal government is assisting the campaign financially, added Kube. Watson defies accusations By ROSS McLAREN Papers and files are scattered across the posh Kitsilano apartment, home to the Sea Shepherd organization. On the walls hang oil paintings of Sea Shepherd, her rainbow striped funnel and hull becons against the greyness of the canvas. Outside it is raining, a typical Vancouver day. Inside Paul Watson sits dry in a canvas deck chair, calm and composed, ready to spread his gospel. Immediately, the conversation turns to Iceland — Reykjavik, and the sinking of the whaling ships. Watson says that what happened at Reykjavik was not a protest action but a policing action, in accordance with international law. Icelanders, Watson says, kill whales despite the International Whaling Commissions' moratorium on all hunting of whales. Iceland, however, continues to kill over 200 whales a year, ostensibly for research purposes. Calling Sea Shepherd "the un- nofficial policing body of the IWC," Watson says the destruction of private property will continue if whaling nations continue to disregard international law. At Reykjavik in November, two environmental activists, in an operation coordinated by Watson, scuttled two of Iceland's four whaling ships and destroyed computers and machinery in a whaling processing station. These destructive acts have gained Watson the label of terrorist, a name that does not bother him. Watson says the former U.S. Am bassador to the United Nations, Jeanne Kirkpatrick, defines terrorism as someone who deliberately sets out to maim or to kill another person; since Sea Shepherd did not set out to harm life, he says we cannot be labelled terrorists. Sea Shepherd, Watson says, does everything possible to insure that their operations will not injure any people. Watson says, "no weapons and no explosives can be taken on these operations; as well, these activists cannot resist arrest and must be prepared to accept responsibility for their actions." These precautions, however, have not prevented Sea Shepherd from incuring the wrath of the civil authorities. B.C.

It is frequently amusing to watch people profess their sexual preferences in public. Humour may also come as a parody. These are some justifications given for H week, or Heterosexual week, organized by some members of Sigma-Chi. On the other hand, groups at whom humour appears to be directed at may feel threatened. What some people feel is light and amusing, others find hard and threatening. H week seems to parody the gays and lesbians week that is held to educate and show pride, because homosexuals are frequently oppressed and attacked in our society. The organizers have said the week is to help heterosexuals be "confident with their sexual beliefs". This is ridiculous, even funny. They also say the event is to help "decrease the tensions created by Gays and Lesbians Pride Week". This explanation is unfortunately much closer to the truth. It is hard not to conclude homophobia plays a part in this event. H week may have been organized with good intentions as well; however, these things always have a way of "getting out of hand". The Gays and Lesbians Club has suffered vandalism and had their mail destroyed. The original fun H week now has some overly enthused Heteros calling for a Heterosexual club, presumably some feel a need to be confident of a homosexual-free club. H week has, perhaps inadvertently, given credibility to the. homophobic voice. It is a bad idea. ^H.nl "It's my parents. Quick, help me think of something heterosexual to say.' H and Gay weeks aim to educate Bazaar in SUB sickens The shopping mall status of the SUB makes me sick. The student body has elected AMS representatives who had promised to rid us of this problem. The SUB is supported by student fees and should be used for the benefit of students, not of outside profiteers. There are two main problems caused by the use of SUB space by business. The mOst obvious of these is their assault on the student's right to the exchange of ideas and information through the various clubs Take a stance To elaborate on Devinder Pannu's courageous statement made at the Indo-Canadian function last week (Ubyssey Fri. 21), I think her main point is that you can have the best of both worlds — the Eastern traditional as well as the Western modern one. You can retain the rich cultural heritage of the Indian community — the art, music and language, but reassess (if not dispose of) the oppressive traditions such as blind submission to authority and marriage involving coercion. Instead, Western values that encourage autonomy, as Devinder points out can help young Indo- Canadians make their own decisions affecting their lives. And after all, isn't that what university is for? To teach us how to think freely and evaluate society's values constantly? Isn't it time for young Indo- Canadians to take a stance? Shelina INeallani law 1 on campus that are prevented from setting up literature tables for lack of room. The second is the assault on the student's right to a place of re-creation and conversation free from the noise and distraction of the marketplace. Students don't need Oakridge Centre re-created in their livingroom. Students don't want this, as evidenced by last years AMS elections. Then why does it continue? The AMS representatives should hold to their election promises and remove the bazaar. I challenge our vice-president to keep to her proclamation still visible on the few remaining campaign posters. We haven't forgotten why we elected you. Greg Beatch graduate studies It has come to our attention that more and more people on campus are taking "H" week in the wrong spirit. As representatives of both groups in question, we feel it is important to make clear our views and our mutual support for two original ideas, namely 'Lesbian/Gay Pride Week' and 'Heterosexual Week'. The purpose behind Lesbian/Gay Pride Week is to bring to the public eye issues of human rights regardless of sexual orientation and the denial of those rights, to foster understanding of homosexual lifestyles in the community, and to generally make aware that homosexual men and women are proud of their sexual outlook. As a minority that, at present, is not guaranteed basic human rights in the Charter of Rights, homosexuals feel the need to keep publicizing and educating people about violence and prejudice feelings directed towards them. Everyone has problems to deal with, and that includes heterosexuals in general as well. Nothing is more critical in society than the sexual issues we all face. These conflicts and problems often are left alone until they grow to immense proportions and disrupt personal lives and those of other people. Heterosexual week is designed as a forum to bring these problems to the forefront of the campus community. By providing this week, heterosexuals are given a positive atmosphere to address any underlying feelings, frustrations and sexual insecurities. Heterosexual Week is Jesus not Lord We completely agree with the comment made by the Jewish Students' Federation in that whoever posted the sign "Jesus is Lord over UBC" had no right to speak on the behalf of the entire UBC student population. However, we disagree that an analogy can be drawn between the phrases "Jesus is Lord Over You" and "Allah is God Over You". Allah is not a "God of the Muslims" to the exclusion of all others — rather, "Allah" is the name given to God in Arabic. In English, it's God. Is anything lost or changed? Devinder Pannu Shelina Neallani graduate studies law 1 Opposing principles fuel cold war When considering the issue of peace or war, armament or disarmament, one must first consider the essence of the opposing forces. The Soviet Union is a totalitarian country, in theory and in practice. Its government holds total control over the lives of its people and those in the countries it takes over; it disposes of these lives as it sees fit. The United States is based, at least, on its principles, on its Constitution, which upholds certain inalienable individual rights because of fundamental human nature.

"Yeah, if it's really so easy how come only David Ferman is successful?" Peter Berlin asked Nancy Rempel. Brad Newcombe felt obliged to mention hearing rumours about Ronald Stewart. "But that's all of them," said Cassandra Freeman. "Yup, the rest of us are frustrated and obsessed with it," observed Jennifer Lyall. "It's actually quite sad." So when Michael Groberman suggested an orgy was in order, Allison Felker and Victor Wong were happy to jump on the bandwagon, dragging with them Scot Macdonald and Anya Waite, respectively. Ross McLaren wouldn't come because he was in love h'ith himself, and Patti Flather preferred to go home early; but fellow sufferers Steve Chan and malcolm Pearson pnte-ed in enthusiastically. from oppression by other individuals or by the government. The American and Soviet principles are fundamental enemies of each other; Individualism and Collectivism are at war, with no peace possible. Once this fundamental war has been recognized, the next issue concerns how one should defend one's principles of freedom and therefore life against a system that is devoted to their abrogation. Should you try to eliminate your own most powerful weapon, for whatever reason, hope that your enemy will do as much, and then seek brotherhood? No. No brotherhood is possible among fundamental enemies. Letting down one's guard against a devout, incompatible enemy is suicide. One must first try to eliminate those fundamental principles and practices which threaten one's life, and then let down one's guard if one wishes. If you value your life, but are not committed to any principle by which to live it, I urge you to consider that surrendering to the principles on which the Soviet Union is based is surrendering your life. In any struggle between two opposing forces, the one which is fanatically committed to oppression is going to win over an equally powerful enemy which is halfheartedly committed to freedom. If your standard is your life and your freedom, and your enemy is equipped with a weapon of any kind, whether a nuclear bomb, a cannon, a gun, or a knife, then your total security of preserving those values is impossible. But every additional bit of defensive and offensive guard can only add to that security. For those pragmatists who can only see two countries and a lot of big guns on each side, I offer a more pragmatic truth: there exists the principles of the United States and the principles and practices of the Soviet Union. Stephan Weaver applied science not designed to put down or slander the homosexuals at UBC, or anywhere else; it is promoting Heterosexuality. We both feel that humour is a vital outlet to get these points across, and it is important that we support each other and laugh with each other. The Blue Jeans Day is a perfect example. The point of the day is not to try and distinguish who's heterosexual or homosexual on campus, but to remind ourselves that we actually cannot tell, and that it really doesn't matter. However, there exists a small percentage of people who will use either or both campaigns to justify violence and hatred. We have felt it on both sides, in the forms of negative feelings directed towards the "H" week organizers, and the increased hostility directed against Gays/Lesbians of UBC and Gay Pride Week. Violence is something neither of us wish to see come about from either campaign. We wish to be aware of the difference and let each other speak with a strong, fair voice, with each other's support. As long as we both take it as that, we do not wish to see Heterosexual Week become a cynical backlash against homosexuals on campus. All events during the week are nonviolent and promoted in a positive manner. We condemn any violence aimed at Gays and Lesbians, and the Gay and Lesbian service organization at UBC. Please enjoy the week, but keep it in the right perspective. Gays and Lesbians are the minority in this issue, and it is important that their position be taken seriously. But also the freedom to speak as a member of the minority or the majority must be taken seriously. Let's just let both be, and support each other decently.

These paid positions are not expected to include work presently be ing done by volunteers.

Charlene Hawthorne Coord., Students Helping Students Friday, November 28,1986 THE UBYSSEY Page 5 Heterosexuals silly By RONALD STEWART What will those wacky fraternities think up next? Sigma Chi fraternity has organized Heterosexual Week, in response to the Pride Week and the "Surrender Dorothy" Dance by Gays and Lesbians UBC. A parody, in other words. Very funny. Funny, that is, until you realize the real reasons behind this little escapade. GLUBC holds their week to call attention to a minority group which has been persecuted, slandered, and hated by the majority for some time. The men of Sigma Chi feel that Heterosexuals have their rights as well, which of course they do. Heterosexuals constitute the majority, and always will; thus their rights are insured. Gays and Lesbians, a minority, have no such guarantee; like Orientals and Jews, they must constantly watch for and fight against abuses of their rights. But the heterosexual organizers of this event feel threatened. Why? Because some homosexuals stand up for their rights once a year? They feel that homosexuals are promoting their lifestyle. They are. Unless homosexuality becomes accepted as a viable alternative, gays and lesbians will always be persecuted. However, promoting a lifestyle does not mean one is trying to win new converts. When other minorities hold a heritage festival, they do not want other people to join their culture, merely to appreciate and understand it. The Heterosexual Week organizers obviously feel their sexuality is threatened. Deep down, they think homosexuals want everyone to be like them, and they don't want to be that way. They may even disapprove of homosexuality. If these people feel threatened by homosexuals, then they're obviously afraid of them. Fear and misunderstanding, its cause, breed hatred, which can only lead to the tension the men of Sigma Chi claim they want to avoid. Heterosexuality Week is a cute idea. It would be funny if Gay Pride Week was not needed, if homosexuals had their rights guaranteed by law. But homosexuals are still a hated, underprivileged group in our society. They face a long, uphill battle to earn the rights and respect they deserve. Tasteless jokes like Heterosexuality Week do nothing but hinder their cause.

He was, in his way, very particular on matters of taste. "Southern things have their place" he would say "and that place is not here!' I guess what he meant was that light and airy and sweet things are fine and good, if that's what you like, but that here in the North a thing must be more substantial. Finely crafted, smooth and sturdy. It must be something you can put your hands around. Yukon Jack did not believe in comfort for comfort's sake, he saw no point to it.

Ontario M8Z 5P1 Page 6 THE UBYSSEY Friday, Nove Thomas unlike anybody else By PETER BERLIN All the rock-show conventions were gently turned upside-down and then given a quizzical shake at the Town Pump on Saturday night as one of the pop world's great eccentrics ran through his bag of tricks. He mixed his dreamy singing with occasional spoken monologues as he encouraged the audience to imagine that they were following him into English Bay and then under water to look at the fish. Then, after five engrossing, entertaining minutes, Thomas began to tease the audience with a discussion of the problems of ending a rock song without slipping into melodramatic and insincere emotional rock cliches. Although he imbues everything music Dave Thomas The Town Pump November 22 For a start there are few rock bands that consist of just a bassist and an accordion-playing vocalist. And Dave Thomas doesn't look much like your average superstar pinup. He's more like Dylan Thomas with puppy fat. He described himself in his bizarre opening song as a "Fat pink blob" and later on as a Ralph Cramden lookalike, though he plays his role altogether more benignly than Jackie Gleason did. Most importantly Thomas writes songs completely unlike anybody else does, and then performs them in a highly idiosyncratic style. Fat Pink Blob at the Bottom of the Sea set the tone for the evening. With Terry Mulligan supplying a muscular, bass riff Thomas went on a stream-of-consciousness, dreamlike discussion of what it would be to be a fat pink blob at the bottom of the sea. DAVE THOMAS . . . fat. pink, blob DANCING FREE By CASSANDRA FREEMAN If you expect a happy ending, or an ending at all, or if you expect to find a clear purpose behind dance works you would have been disappointed by the Judith Marcuse Repetory Dance Company's performance Saturday night. Because this company refuses to give easy answers. Its artists are much too free and sophisticated for that. Freedom and complexity wove their way through all of the pieces chosen by Artistic Director Judith Marcuse in different ways. In Big Shouders by Lar Lubavitch, each of the nine dancers becomes one part of several different pieces of machinery. dance Judith Marcuse Repertory Dance Company Queen Elizabeth Theatre November 21, 22 Their bodies move in original and unexpected ways as they push, pull and lift each other into a series of geometric patterns. This work is free from with his own distinctive style there are echoes of others. His whining, yet tuneful vocals call to mind Captain Beefheart, the unstructured, insistent songs sound like those of Berthold Brecht and Kurt Weill. But his choice of subject matter is all his own. Thomas rounded off the set with a protest song on behalf of dinosaurs, which he insisted have been the victims of cruel stereotyping by the media. The song contained a couplet of which Thomas was justly proud: "Has the short end of the sticks been given archeopteryx?" he asked. For an encore Thomas performed a brutal cover version of Sloop John B. The song was made famous by the Beach Boys who turned it into a cheery singalong number, but Thomas brought out the unpleasantness of the lyrics which tell a tale of childhood terror in the face of drunkeness, violence and the cops. When Thomas sang "This is the worst trip I've ever been on," it was clear he meant it and felt it. male/female stereotypes as the women do their share of lifting and shifting men into precise and often precarious links and balances. In And the Angels Sing, choreographer Ginette Laurin allows her dancers, in bare feet suits and cocktail dresses, moments of humour and playfulness. But just when you think a romance is about to begin the mood is interrupted by awkward or disturbing actions. The women are swung around by the neck in helicopter spins, tossed callously from one man to the other. In one situation, one man is actually pushed off the stage by the other three. Danny Grossman's choreography in Tryptich is as profound as it is free from convention. Throughout the piece, Betsy Carson, Eric Rochin and Aaron Shields barely budge from their initial' positions centerstage, expressing their plight through endless patterns of jerky contorted movements. They cringe and cower to the sounds of a nightmarish symphony score until the end of the piece when they struggle but fail to free themselves of their oversized dark brown suits which symbolically im- prosion their individuality. It is a powerful portrayal of personal oppression. Many times during Judith Mar- cuse's works, Cortege and Time Out, there are a series of steps that personify the word freedom. Time Out is a playful piece where the eight dancers shed their winter clothes and inhibitions, warming up to Senegalese tribal and reggae rhythms. There are sharp, quick jumps and bounces mixed in with free flowing movements all performed with energy and style, but it is Andrea Lougheed who captures the mischievous spirit Carefree as she skips, hops and bounces through her solo with non-stop energy and joyful defiance. Marcuse's dancers took each piece of choreography and made it their own, and it was their effortless and natural looking interpretations that ultimately made the evening a success. DOW rood cycle. Keaton comments B> RICK HUBERT Silent film comic Buster Keaton lived in a strange universe of his own making and the Vancouver East Cinema has been offering guided tours of it during its Buster Keaton film festival this month. Keaton, one of the most popular film comedians of the 20's, doesn't telegraph his humour as so many comedians do today. Nothing works properly in his world yet Keaton takes it in his stride, his stony face a mute comment on the insane world around him. the hilarious results of this problem, there are other fine touches, such as the church full of brides, brought there by an ad Keaton's friends put in the newspaper, who chase Keaton through Los Angeles, a football game, a corn field and a beekeeper's yard — wiping out everything in their path. There is also the classic sequence where Keaton dodges an avalance of falling rocks. Needless to say, Keaton gets married just in the nick of time. film Two b Buster Keaton Festival Vancouver East Cinema November 17, 18, 24, 25 The Vancouver East Cinema presents some of Keatons best films in a manner befitting their style. A bouncy, nickleodeon style soundtrack has been added to the films and film archivist Raymond Rohauer, who now owns the rights to Keaton's films, has done an excellent job of preserving them so that they look good even today. The film Go West, although not one of Keaton's best, is still bizarre and quite funny. Keaton appears as Friendless, a man wholly out of synch with the world around him, who goes to the West to seek his fortune. There, he poses as the complete cowboy, walking bowleg- ged when around his fellow ran- chhands and packing a deadly cap pistol. Keaton has an unusual love interest in this film, the cow Brown Eyes, and they spend the film looking out for each other. After many misadventures, including Keaton stampeding a herd of cattle through the streets of Los Angeles to the slaughter house, the owner of the ranch, grateful to Keaton, promises him anything he wants. Keaton points behind him towards his daughter and says "I want her," surprising both the owner and the audience when he leads Brown Eyes out from behind the daughter. Together again for good, Keaton and Brown Eyes ride off into the sunset in the back seat of the owner's Model T. Seven Changes, a 1925 feature, was my favorite film of the night. Keaton, in order to inherit $7 million, must get married by 7 o'clock that evening. Thinking that the women he loves has rejected him, Keaton starts proposing to everything wearing a skirt, including a Scottsman. Aside from By TONY ROBERTS On August 2, 1979, Sid Vicious, former Bass player for the Sex Pistols was found dead in his New York apartment, the victim of a massive heroin overdose. Sid was awaiting trial for the stabbing death of his girlfriend Nancy Spungen, killed two months earlier. film Sid and Nancy Directed by Alex Cox The Bay Theatre For those of you who thought Sid Vicious was a real neat guy, think again. Sid was neither a spokesman for a nihilistic generation or a WEBB, OLDEN ■nber28, 1986 THE UBYSSEY Page 7 Bypass your brain By MICHAEL GROBERMAN There will be another living playwright on the Frederic Wood stage, and blood and guts at the mouth of hell down in the basement, next week in the theatre department. And they're free. The Death of Pilate is in the Dorothy Somerset Studio, at the back of the theatre building, next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at noon, for free. Masters directing student, and veteran actor of over 100 Frederic Wood productions (including the spear in Lear five years ago), Bruce Dow offers direction to the > medieval one-act, The Death of [ Pilate, in the Dorothy Somerset [ Studio. Performances are next i Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday \\ at noon. Dow, explaining the obvious, indicates that Pilate is one of the last plays in the Cornish Rood Cycle. Explaining his choice of play, Dow says, "I was attracted by the contradictions in the script; of seeing blood-lust manifesting itself as an institutionalized worship." Blood? "It's quite bloody . . . hopefully to some purpose." Dow, now 23, completed his acting degree two years ago, feeling disillusioned. "My interests went beyond just my part." Now he's into sets, lights, line-coaching, and stage positioning of actors: "It's one thing to put people on stage in a kitchen, but if you adjust that so where they stand goes beyond where they stand, that's when you get art." There are no kitchen scenes in the Death of Pilate. A former directing student herself, Catherine Caines, now a prof, is putting up a show on the main stage next Wednesday to Saturday at 8 p.m. She says she was "approached" by a keener group of bored, but talented, fourth year theatre students. She couldn't resist, "They're doing Michel Tremblay," she explains. The one-act play, Forever Yours, Marie Lou, is by Quebec playwright Michel Tremblay. Caines loves Tremblay. "If I could write," she says, "I would write what this man writes. He bypasses my brain and I respond with my guts." Forever Yours, Marie Lou is on the Freddy Wood stage next Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m., for free. Caines describes the play as "very funny. Tremblay makes you laugh, then he kicks you in the belly while you're laughing." She is excited at directing a play that she feels will move people, "I think theatre is meant to reach out and touch people. I want the audience to go away knowing more, feeling more, and not talk about so and so's performance, or the set." TANJA, JESSICA, MICHAEL . . . the Forever cast minus Kathleen, who refuses to be photographed. rn losers face oblivion socially aware anarchist. He was not even a musician. Sid Vicious was an ignorant, violent clod manipulated by personalities which he followed blindly. Sid and Nancy, Alex (Repo Man) Cox's latest film, is a brutally realistic portrayal of two stupid people doomed to face the consequences of their own destructive vices in a world beyond their understanding. Against the backdrop of the London punk explosion of 1977, the Sex Pistols' imminent decay parallels the beginning of Nancy and Sid's slide into oblivion. Sid was chosen as the Sex Pistols' bassist by Malcolm McLaren, the band's manager, because he represented the ugly, destructive o born losers. side of punk, an element McLaren knew was a guaranteed money maker. John Lydon, the band's singer, also known as Johnny Rotten, saw Sid as the perfect replacement because he could be easily manipulated to wreak havoc and disorder. Yet Sid's complete musical incompetence and increasingly destructive acts soon became a source of irritation for the band and McLaren. It's a disturbing film. Nancy, a screaming schitzoid heroin addict, meets Sid shortly after his joining the Sex Pistols. A few days later, Nancy injects Sid with his first dose of smack. That evening is a vomit drenched view of drugged sex, and a premonition of the self abuse that is to follow. Heroin becomes the common tie that binds them. Sid and Nancy protrays two born losers indulging in their own world of easy drugs and suicidal tendencies. It is a realationship that decays towards inevitable death. In one pathetically funny scene, Sid storms out on Nancy, who pleads pathologically: "What about the farewell drugs?" The acting is absolutely first rate. Gary Oldman (Sid) and Chloe Webb (Nancy), are at once gritty and exhaustingly repulsive as the doomed couple. David Hayman is hilariously exploitive as manager McLaren, the self-styled swindler ("Sid's more than just a bass player, he's a fabulous disaster!"). Yet it's Andrew Schofield's performance as John Lydon that justifies the price of admission. Combining just the right elements of arrogance, humour, and cynical snide, Schofield is splendid as Johnny Rotten. There is a problem with Sid and Nancy however, that exists despite the superb performances of Oldman and Webb. Nancy is so self-destructive and parasitical, and Sid so stupid and easily led, that it's virtually impossible to sympathize with either character. But maybe that is the point. In their lack of self-respect, they revile our sympathies. It may be a slight personal bias, but the most interesting and worthwhile aspect of the film is the rise and fall of the Sex Pistols themselves. Whether or not you hate 'em, it's an undeniable fact that the Sex Pistols liberated an enormous amount of creative energy and pointed music in a completely new direction. Perhaps this can be seen as the best anti-drug film of the year. Because "This," as John Lydon would say, "IS NOT A LOVE SONG." SHATNER, SPOCK ... in 1986. Whale search By VICTOR WONG Twenty years ago, North America first saw the United Federation Starship Enterprise, boldly going "where no man has gone before." Now, on the 20th anniversary of Star Trek, Harve Bennett and Leonard Nimoy have brought the crew of the Enterprise full circle. film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Directed by Leonard Nimoy at the Stanley If you remember the last Trek movie. The Search for Spock, the Star Trek universe appeared to be thrown into chaos. Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) and his crew were now renegades, the Enterprise was destroyed, and Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy), who had just been resurrected from the dead, still didn't quite have all his marbles in place. To fix things up — that is, to restore the plotline to the status quo — Bennett and Nimoy decided to send a cigarette to menace Earth — or at least, that's what the big ship draining power from passing star- ships looks like. The ship is sending messages to humpback whales currently in residence on earth and the transmissions are wrecking Earth's atmosphere. The problem is, humpback whales became extinct, 200 years before. Since Kirk and crew are enroute to Earth to face charges stemming from the third movie, they're the only ones in a position to save the planet. And the crew arrives at a solution: use the Klingon Bird of Prey (the ship on which they are travelling) to fire themselves back to 1986, grab two humpback whales, come back, and have the whales tell the enemy ship, via whale-song to shut up (Greenpeace is going to love this movie). Simple, right? Well, there are complications. Scotty (James Doohan) has to build a whale tank, so he goes to a San Francisco plastics shop and has trouble with the shop's computer (it doesn't talk). Chekov (Walter Koenig) has to borrow some radiation from a nuclear powered carrier (ironically, the real U.S.S. Enterprise) to stablize the Bird of Prey's engines. Dr. McCoy (DeForrest Kelley) has to go to a hospital (he calls the surgeon a barbarian in the operating room). Kirk and Spock have to ride a bus to a nearby institute to get the whales (Spock doesn't know what "exact change" means). And the marine biologist who has the whales (Catherine Hicks) won't let them go. It looks like the film cast and crew had a lot of fun shooting in modern-day San Francisco, and it shows. According to Time magazine, no one in the city proper recognized the cast in costume; apparently they regarded the garb as normal for San Francisco. The sense of "family" among the cast is very strong. There is a touch of humour in the main characters' performances, suggesting that Nimoy and Bennett must have had considerable input from cast members who, after all, do know what their characters are like. Like the third Trek film, this is obviously a movie meant for the die-hard Trek fan; unlike the third Trek film, non-fans can get in on the fun. I do have some complaints. The music (by Leonard Roseman) struck me as being much too serious for the overall tone of this film; much of it is unmemorable. The ending sequence, emotionally, is a letdown. And the introduction of a new Starship Enterprise (yes, it's back, the hull number is NCC- 1701A) is irrelevant to the story. But what the hell. This is, for the most part, a fun movie to watch. And you're supposed to have fun on an anniversary. Gutsy jazz duo sparks By ANYA WAITE Pendulum, a jazz duo of piano and vibraphone, piled rhythm and style into a potpourri of gutsy, humorous playing. As soon as Ted Piltzecker and Jim Hodgkinson came grinning on stage, it was obvious that their personalities, not just their music, would run the show. music Pendulum, jazz duo Vancouver Playhouse November 23 They jumped right into their first number, a swinging piece by Chick Corea called Armando's Rhumba. Piltzecker hammered away at the vibraphone with indulgent pizzaz, throwing out enigmatic little smiles as he danced and sang along with the vibraphone, a beautiful instrument with a soft, ringing tone. Hodgkinson had an interesting combination of lovely classical technique and a relaxed jazz flair; a quieter, almost serious image beside Ted Piltzecker bounding around behind his own flailing mallets. But there was a spark of crazy humour between them that seemed to draw them together. These two most expressive of per- cussion instruments blended beautifully, in finely-tuned performances of everything from Fats' Waller to the Beatles. They turned out Ain't Misbehavin' in a great syncopated flow of traditional jazz, a super sense of style, and relaxed, laughing rhythm. Great rhythm. Yet when they tackled Debussy's First Arabesque, they managed its great calm well, and Round Midnight, a soft blues piece played as a solo by Hodgkinson, came off as almost a virtuoso performance. They spiced the evening with humorous anecdotes and people's comments during their extensive travels as a duo: "I've never seen a styrofoam before t" But despite their casual verve, they were absolutely precise, and carved every nuance of the music with meticulous care. And with soul. They let the tones of piano and vibraphone ring long, for instance, hanging and blending in the air long after a piece was over. Their own compositions were perhaps the most intriguing. Hodgkinson's melodious, swinging ballads, were great /contrast to PJItzecfcer's peppery rhythms and wild gesticulation. They were hilarious. And they played great jazz. This Pendulum swings to one amazing beat. Page 8 THE UBYSSEY Friday, November 28,1986 Watson defends sinkings From page 3 charges should be laid against Watson. Watson, though, is unconcerned. "In Canada, they can only charge me with conspiring to commit a crime in another country. But that cannot be proven as there was no telephone or mail correspondence in Canada, or from Canada, with the activists who went to Iceland," he says. Watson also thinks Smith had personal reasons for wanting to charge Watson. Smith, Watson believes, was embarassed by Watson during the last wolf kill campaign in B.C. Legal problems are not new to Watson. In 1981, Sea Shepherd invaded Russian territory to film illegal Russian whaling activities. After being pursued and then threatened by Soviet navy vessels, Sea Shepherd escaped and presented it's information to a grateful IWC organization. Watson also struck earlier in 1979. Sea Shepherd rammed, not once but twice, the pirate whaler Sierra. After being repaired in Lisbon harbour, the Sierra was sunk in April 1980 by Sea Shepherd activists without injury. The Sea Shepherd was responsible that year for the sinking of the Spanish whalers Isba I and Isba II, also without injury. Closer to home, Watson has been criticized by Greenpeace for destroying years of environmental success in the whaling field with his radical actions. Watson shrugs off the attacks and in turn accuses Greenpeace of "bureaucratic conservatism". Organizations like Greenpeace, Watson says, have a vested interest in the continuation of whaling. Without the money generated by anti-whaling campaigns ($50 million in the U.S. last year), these people would be out of work. Therefore, says Watson, these groups, specifically Greenpeace, do not vigorously oppose whaling. Watson adds, "not one single Greenpeace campaign has ever saved a whale". The need for effective environmental protection, Watson says, is greater now than in the past. Citing the Global 2000 report, a report on world conditions in the year 2000, Watson says one quarter of all plant and animal life will be extinct by the year 2000. We are losing valuable serial crops and medicines before they have been discovered, he says. The radicals, he charges, are those who are destroying the planet for nothing but profit. It is because Watson sees the world in such simple terms that he is complacent about the destruction of private property. Life, he says, is more important than proterty. Sea shepherd, Watson says, breaks civil law only in the face of a higher, universal law, that is the right to life. History, Watson says, will vindicate him and his cause. REID'S ART MATERIALS LTD.

Page 12 THE UBYSSEY Friday, November 28,1986 Carleton engineers apologize for insulting paper OTTAWA (CUP) — Carleton University's student engineering society escaped with little more than a hand slap at a recent council meeting, following a month-long review of the society's policies, actions and structure. A review board was established to investigate charges that the society was violating the council's constitution by distributing sexist, racist and homophobic material on campus. The board in a 16-page report concluded the society violated the constitution by distributing its newspaper The Orifice and several hundred copies of a banned Labatt's Breweries poster, both of which were deemed sexist. Although the council's constitution states de-certification or withdrawal of all council funding and resources may occur if a society violates the constitution, another council committee chose a milder option of binding the society to follow a set of recommendations. As a result of the ruling, the society must drop all social events that show a "direct or indirect intent to harm any individual or property," establish an editorial board for its newspaper, and take recommendations from a board of experts" on how to achieve journalistic professionalism. The review board concluded the society has been "run irresponsibly," and called its "control over its actions and accoun tability . . . severely lacking." Review board member Paul Edgecombe said the decision was not strong enough, calling it a "white-wash" which did not match the board's conclusions. "The complaint (that The Orifice violated council's constitution) still stands unacted upon. That's the bottom line," he said. But review board member Amy Heron said the engineering society executive showed a willingness to co-operate. "When we started out I think we all wanted de-certification — every one of us was really out for blood," she said. "But as the review went on, most of us changed our minds." In a letter to The Charlatan, Carleton's campus-wide student newspaper, the society's executive apologized to "the gay community at Carleton, and in particular, to the gay students in engineering," for comments made in The Orifice. earl's earl's earl's 10th ave./trimble #222-1342 mexican days dec. 1-5 fashion show dec. 7 .,„„„„ Sun.-Thurs. 11:30 a.m.-11:00 p.m./Fri. & Sat. 11:30 a.m.-midnight SUMMER EMPLOYMENT—C.A.

All resumes will be acknowledged. Campus interviews will be held in mid-January. Additional information is available at the UBC Canada Employment Office. Highlights of Changes to 1987 Autoplan Effective January 1,1987 Liability Limits For the majority, increases will be under $25. About a quarter of a million will pay between $26 and $50 more. For about 5,000 commercial vehicles with larger premiums than private passenger cars, the increase will be over $50. For many motorists, an increase inThird Party Legal Liability premiums will be offset to some extent by a reduction in the cost of Collision coverage. Those who do not carry Collision will be most affected by the premium increases. A limit of $15 million Third Party Legal Liability is now available for all vehicles. Weekly Payments Increase The weekly "No-Fault" payments for disability or death increase from $130 to $145 for victims of accidents occurring on or after January 1, 1987. Weekly dependent survivor payments increase from $30 to $35 for victims of accidents occurring on or after January 1, 1987. Equipment of a Motor Vehicle Revised coverage will apply to new and renewal policies issued on or after January 1, 1987 for most private passenger and light commercial vehicles. Attached equipment supplied by or available from the vehicle manufacturer is automatically covered with no dollar limit. Coverage for equipment not supplied by or available from the vehicle manufacturer has dollar limits: • a $500 limit applies to coverage for permanently attached sound and communication equipment; • a $ 1,000 limit applies to coverage for any other permanently attached equipment. e.g., special paint finish and canopies. Where it is of benefit to the motorist, the new additional coverage will also apply to existing 1986 policies for accidents occurring on or after January 1, 1987.
