Speaking to a civic election forum in Law 169 Friday, Rankin ripped apart the right- wing members of city council with a series of deadly one-liners and a delivery that Henny Youngman could envy. "We've had long discussions in council over infinitesimal issues — because that's all they can understand. Some of them can't even read," Rankin cracked about the Non- Partisan Association members who dominate council. Rankin said NPA council candidate Ar- mand Konig, Vancouver's former fire chief, has claimed he would introduce a disaster plan for the city if elected. "I said," Rankin continued deadpan, "we already have the disaster — an NPA council. Now we need a plan." Rankin, a lawyer who described himself as the city's longest "surviving" council member, used humor to attack the NPA's lack of action in providing low-cost cooperative housing. "Some people speak of social housing as if it were a social disease — the clap," he said to laughs from the ISO people attending. He also joked about the proposed downtown sports stadium. "People say to me: 'What about the stadium, Mr. Rankin?' I say what about the god damned stadium? When we get a team in this city maybe we should get a stadium." Also speaking at the forum, sponsored by UBC's Law Union, were Mike Harcourt, candidate for mayor and current councillor, and Bruce Eriksen, a council candidate and president of the Downtown Eastside Residents Association. Author Stan Persky was also slated to speak but was unable to appear. Rankin and Eriksen are Committee of Progressive Electors candidates, while Harcourt is an independent. Eriksen took a more serious approach in attacking the current NPA and The Electors Action Movement council members. He charged that council has been undemocratic by refusing to implement a ward system despite a majority vote in favor of it in the 1978 civic election. "We do have a sort of ward system though," Eriksen said. "West Point Grey, Shaughnessy and Kerrisdale are all represented on council but the rest of us don't have a voice." He said a ward system would ensure each neighborhood would have representation on council. Currently most council members are from Vancouver's west side, which has a proportionately higher voter turnout in civic elections than the east side. Eriksen said the NPA's nomination of Konig, who is a resident of West Vancouver, shows the party's arrogance towards city voters.

Lower floor of SUB is favorite place for "bailers" to find out about sociology of hustlers, physics of angles, Newton's laws of action and reaction, and other arts and sciences. Many graduates cite SUB pool hall is place where they learned only valuable part of education: how to work shape, hooks and top end of table against suckers from commerce 1. Pool, whether on felt or in water, is a great way to take mind off mid-terms. "One student survey" hit The recently approved media survey was "poorly" done and should have been left to the media liaison committee, the Alma Mater Society external affairs coordinator said Monday. Student council granted $750 on Oct. 22 to commerce representative Bruce Cheng who will conduct a survey on the two campus media, CITR and The Ubyssey. Cheng will also receive credit in a commerce course carrying the survey out. "The AMS should have let the media liaison committee do the survey," Allan Soltis said. (Part of the newly formed committee's mandate was to examine and carry out if necessary a proposed clubs supplement to The Ubyssey and a media survey.) "It's a one student survey," he said. "It's not asking all the questions that have to be answered." The media liaison committee will have to issue another survey, he said. It will cover the questions of autonomy and separate funding for campus media as well as many of the questions in Cheng's survey. Student senator Chris Niwinski is also highly critical of the survey. "The survey should have come from the media liaison committee," he said Monday. "What I object to is I do not approve of using council funds and council sanctioned projects to be assigned to course credit," Niwinski said. "Politically, the student council has done the survey poorly, especially as the media liaison committee was just approved," said Soltis. "The timing of the matter was inappropriate." "It might have something to do with the fact that one half of the council members had left the meeting when the survey was approved," he said. The survey will be used only as an information document, Niwinski said. "I would hope CITR and The Ubyssey would use the survey results on their own initiative," he said. "The council may make some recommendations, but the media can take it or leave it," Niwinski said. The survey will act as a starting point for discussion, and nothing more, he said. AMS muddles fee hike fight Confusion and uncertainty continue to muddle the issue of tuition fee increases as the board of governors' meeting which will decide the extent of fee hikes looms ever closer. Thirteen people attended a public meeting to discuss AMS battle tactics against the 13 per cent fee increases proposed for next year. The meeting, held Friday in SUB 260, had only been announced that morning in The Ubyssey. Nigel Brownlow, chair of the external affairs subcommittee against tuition fee increases and organizer of the meeting, used suggestions from the meeting to compile a report which will go before the next board meeting Nov. 4. Brownlow wrote the report over the weekend and it has already been submitted to the board secretary and is destined to appear, as it stands, in the package for the next board meeting. But some student politicians are upset that no one had the opportunity to examine the report before it was submitted. "I think it's unfortunate that student council or the external affairs office didn't have the chance to look at the report before it went to the board," student board repre sentative John Pellizon said Monday. He said that due to grammatical and typing errors, and misinformation which appeared in Brownlow's report, student senator Chris Niwinski is rewriting the report and it will also go before the board. "It's unfortunate the board looks at two reports," Pellizon said. The report opposes a 13 per cent tuition fee increase on the grounds that it is unfair at a time in which students face rising costs of attending university, that there is no foreseeable increase in student aid, that it would drive students away from UBC, and that student comments and information have not been taken into consideration by the board. The report requests the board to table consideration of tuition fee increases until next month's meeting. Pellizon doubted that the issue would be tabled. "The board is made up businessmen and faculty members. The context in which they operate is when they want something done, it gets done," he said. But Alma Mater Society president Bruce Armstrong said he feels the issue will be tabled, and that a 13 per cent increase will not take place because it is unfair and will drive students away from UBC. Tuition proposal axes autonomy The ministry of education's new college funding proposal is a direct attack on the autonomy of community colleges, the vice-president internal of the Capilano College student society said Monday. "The new funding proposal is a really searing attack on college autonomy," said Steve Howard. "They (the ministry of education) are dictating to the colleges what the tuition fees should be in a very discreet sense. "The ministry is saying, if you don't charge this tuition fee, you're going to be short this amount of money." The proposal intends to equalize balancing grants for college operating revenues across the province. But colleges which receive a lower balancing grant in the future will have to increase their revenues, which will result in either a tuition increase or cutbacks in services. Howard said he expects the tuition increases will prevent people from continuing with their education at Capilano. "The colleges basically have no choice but to raise tuition fees because of the lack of government funding. Either they raise tuition fees or they have to cut back staff," said Steve Shallhorn, B.C. Federation of Students spokesperson. "Colleges haven't been getting much money lately so they're pretty close to the bone. There isn't much fat left to cut," he said. Last March 12,000 students sent postcards to the ministry asking for such a study, Shallhorn said. Douglas College president Reg Pridham has not heard of the ministry's proposed increases. "Our board sets the tuition fees and we've considered it (fee increases) but we haven't had an increase in a number of years," Pridham said. "We have not had a directive from the minister for that kind of increase."

Harcourt turned in a low-key performance by comparison but managed to get in a few shots at the NPA and mayor Jack Volrich. The planned Transpo '86 transportation fair, he said, is a chance to "show off the worst transit system in North America and the worst housing situation in Canada." Calling the NPA members "city Socreds" for their support of provincial Social Credit party policy, Harcourt also criticized them for not implementing a ward system. "We need a ward system so you don't need a computer to figure out who to vote for out of 120 candidates," he said. Although Harcourt appeared SPEED READING!

COPE did not nominate a candidate for mayor for the civic election this year in order to avoid splitting the vote and destroying Harcourt's chances of winning. Harcourt seemed uncomfortable when law student Paisley Woodward questioned his support for council's tough new anti-poster bylaw that has been attacked by a large coalition of community groups as restricting their freedom to convey information cheaply to the public.

He looked sheepish when one audience member yelled: "Don't forget there's little old men too," to laughs and cheers. Rankin, who also voted in favor of the bylaw, remained silent but Eriksen said he does not agree with the measure. "They sell bus shelter ads and bus bench ads but if you want to put up a political message you can't," he said. Eriksen added that it was ridiculous for council to be concerned about the annual $15,000 clean-up bill for posters when it cost taxpayers $500,000 a year to pick up drunks downtown. Free sex advice.

Human Rights Commissioner told a group of 15 in SUB 130 Friday. Jane Sprout said according to a B.C. Federation of Labor survey 90, per cent of women in the work force consider sexual harassment a serious problem. "The feelings that women have are of shame, guilt, fear of reprisals or losing their jobs. It affects your work," she said. "Sexual harassment can be rape and an excellent example of that is the Pappajohn case." (A real estate agent, selling a house to George Pappajohn agreed to visit his home to discuss a busi ness arrangement and there she was bound, gagged and raped.) "The majority of women handle it by ignoring it. Every woman tries that at first. Women don't ask to be degraded or physically hurt," she said. Many women try directly confronting their harassers but in a lot of cases it is futile, she said. She added that women invite sexual harassment by their dress or behavior is a myth. "There is the idea that the woman is at fault and that women invite it by their dress." Women are put in a double bind as they are often required to dress attractively to get and keep their jobs and "then we're accused of inviting sex." Sprout said many women fail to report sexual harassment for fear of reprisals and many who do report incidents experience unfair work evaluations, no promotions, or cool behavior. Harassment can include women being forced to hear jokes degrading women, "accidental" touching, staring at a woman's breasts, and being asked for a date whose refusal equals the end of a possible promotion, she said. If women experience sexual harassment there are several steps they can take, she said. If a woman is going to tell her supervisor she should keep records of her harassment, Sprout said. "Talk to your co- No concern over iees, aid The AMS has sent a report to the board of governors describing the plight of students who cannot cope with next year's planned 13 per cent tuition fee hike. But although the report says student aid is no longer adequate, student council learned Wednesday few students will come forward to register complaints. * » * Students may shudder when they pay their fees or grumble as they try to live on student loans, but board of governors representative Anthony Dickinson says he can't find any who want to complain to him.

Council voted to hold a public meeting Friday at 3:30 p.m. for student input on the board's proposed 13 per cent tuition fee hike. The meeting will be used by the subcom- AMS hesitates on AOSC withdrawal By NANCY CAMPBELL The Alma Mater Society is reconsidering its decision to withdraw from the Association of Student Councils, AMS external affairs coordinator Allan Soltis said Monday. Delegates from UBC and five other universities stormed out of the final plenary session of AOSC Oct. 19 over a matter of "freedom of choice." The delegates were against the concept of legislating members of AOSC and the National Union of Students, who are not members of both organizations, to commit themselves to a referendum to join the other. AMS president Bruce Armstrong wants to retain the freedom of choice to join either the political or service side of the new student organization which will be formed as a result of the merger. "Everyone is looking at us because we have the second largest Canadian Universities Travel Service (CUTS) office in Canada," Soltis said. (CUTS is a subsidiary organization of AOSC.) "UBC is one of the main spokes of the organization. If we pull out we could ultimately destroy AOSC," he said. A phone survey of the other universities which left the AOSC meeting showed that most were adopting a "wait and see" attitude and wanted to see what UBC's decision was first, Soltis said. Should UBC withdraw from AOSC the CUTS service could be terminated, Soltis said. And if that happens, CUTS offices at the universities of Alberta and Saskatchewan could be seriously affected. "It will be a very serious blow to CUTS to lose one of their offices," Soltis said. Soltis has scheduled a special meeting for Oct. 29 at 6:30 p.m. in the student council chambers. The six UBC delegates will give their report on the AOSC conference, and their recommendations. "We will discuss the AOSC conference and its ramifications as well as the CUTS office and UBC's involvement with NUS and the B.C. Students' Federation," said Soltis. Representatives from BCSF, NUS and AOSC will be at the meeting. Chapelas to mediate The B.C. labor relations board has appointed John Chapelas to mediate contract negotiations between the UBC teaching assistants union and the university administration, UBC employee relations director Bob Grant said Monday. Preliminary negotiations are scheduled to start this morning at 9:30 at the.provincial labor standards office in Burnaby, Grant said. Chapelas is unknown to either side and it is anticipated that most of today's bargaining session will involve familiarizing the mediator with the respective positions of the two parties. Neither side is happy with the location of the negotiations. "It would be better for the people concerned if the meetings could be held at UBC," Grant said Monday. "Going out to Burnaby is a bit of a burden on the TAs." Grant said he expected the mediation process to last three or four weeks. "But if we could get three or four days of negotiation in a row we could get it all settled," he added. mittee to provide material for a report which will be forwarded to BoG Monday. Plans to be discussed include the conversion of the SUB second floor courtyard into a drinking lounge and club offices, and the construction of an underground mall extending out from SUB under Mclnnes field. AMS president Bruce Armstrong withdrew the south side centre project from the motion on public forums because of opposition to the centre from agriculture and forestry students. The south side centre plans are to be re-evaluated and presented to council at a later date, he said. * * • Programs committee in its report to council noted that there have been no public announcements on campus of the cancellation of the Bob Marley and the Wailers concert which was to be held in War Memorial gym on Sunday. The concert was cancelled because of Marley's illness, which is rumored to be a rare and fatal form of cancer. Marley is now in New Mexico for an indefinite time receiving treatment. » * * Chris Niwinski, in his senate report, said there are several complaints about the inadequacy of student appeal procedures against academic decisions. He called for council and student input into an investigation of academic appeal procedures, saying the students he has spoken to have not found them to be effective. Marty Lund, chairperson of the AMS Discovery Park committee, reported on the success of public meetings on the-proposed research park in Burnaby, where the municipal council has decided to review its decision to change zoning laws to accommodate the facility. Lund said similar meetings at UBC would be beneficial and suggested work begin immediately on organizing them. • * * Bruce Cheng announced that the commerce undergraduate society will be holding Career Opportunities Days from Wednesday to Friday this week. Various corporations, including Xerox, IBM and Noranda will have representatives available in SUB for students of all faculties to talk to. workers because if you're being harassed usually others are too. Also it's easier for the supervisor to dismiss one woman than eight." "The thing you've got to realize is, don't expect justice. The chances of your getting justice are pretty small." When a woman goes to the B.C. Human Rights branch and makes a complaint an officer will investigate the situation, she said. The officer talks to the co-workers, other harassed women, then to the employer, she said. The employer has to have the opportunity to rectify the situation, she added. "The employer could say 'gee I never knew this happened,' and all you could get is the boss to talk to the harasser and say this won't happen again." LISTEN KIDS, have I got a deal for you, smirks travelling used history salesman. "How to torture cats for fun and profit" was main theme of snappy sales talk, but don't do it too often says Robert Darnton, because it embarrasses bourgeois. (See story below.) Bourgeois humiliated by great cat massacre A great cat massacre of 17th century Paris was symbolic of workers' frustration with their living conditions, a Princeton University historian said Monday. The story of the massacre comes from a 200-page autobiography written by an apprentice in a Parisian printing shop, Robert Darnton told 20 people in Buch. 202. The workers in this printing shop were forced to eat rotten meat, sleep under the roof where they were kept awake by alley cats howling, and generally led a hard life, he said. One worker decided to tease the master by howling under his window like an alley cat, waking him at the time when his employees began work, Darnton added. To relieve the problem; the master asked his wife to tell the workers to get rid of the cats and his wife warned the men not to harm her pet cat, Le Gris, said Darnton. He added the workers grabbed their tools from the print shop and Le Gris was the first to face death; the massacred alley cats were piled in the courtyard, tried and hanged, Darnton added. Provoked by a feeling of injustice and disparity between the life of the workers and their master the act was intended to "humiliate the bourgeois." "There's a lot of hatred, (and that) isn't too strong a word. Bosses ordered the workers in batches. They treated them as things." Resentment sprang from a tendency in the second half of the 17th century to eliminate the small trade shops and it became difficult for apprentices to become masters, he said. Cats played an important part in French folklore; they were associated with the devil and witches, he said. The French believed "if you meet a cat at night, beat it. If you suffer a bad fall, cut off a tomcat's tail and suck the blood." "The torturing of animals, particularly of cats, was popular. You can find examples of this tendency everywhere in folklore. There was nothing unusual about the ritual killing of cats." Cats were considered vehicles of magic but French folklore attaches special association of cats with sexuality, he said. "Really the cats served as a way to stage a dirty joke." By killing the mistress' cat, Le. Gris, the workers were calling the woman a witch and a slut. "There's a lot more at stake than the simple dispatching of cats," said Darnton.

Plenty off time Tuition fees don't seem to both the Alma Mater Society too much. At least, not enough to get really worried about them. The AMS says it didn't have much warning about the board of governor's proposed 13 per cent fee hike. They claim they only heard about it at last month's board meeting. Yet it was a year last May that the board decided not to raise the fees for 1980-81 and warned there would be a hike coming early this fall. This was in line with an earlier decision to index tuition fees to a percentage of not less than 10 per cent of UBC's operating costs, a policy which has yet to be implemented in practice. There's no excuse for the AMS to now say they had no idea the tuition fee increase was coming. And if they indeed argue they had no idea what was going on before the board meeting in the first week of October, then surely there was enough time for the executive to meet its responsibilities and mobilize publicity and student council or executive participation for the farce of a public meeting that took place Friday. Instead, the meeting was given no publicity by the AMS. A dozen students took part. Of these, there was only one AMS executive member: Al Soltis, the external affairs coordinator. The others, it seems, felt the only public meeting concerning tuition fees before the matter was decided on by the board, and imposed on the students who make up the AMS, was not worth the trouble. We can sympathize with the AMS executive. Perhaps their excellent summer jobs spent supposedly serving the students on the AMS payroll made them feel an extra $80 shelled out to the university next year was not a significant sum. Or perhaps they were too busy planning how to spend such large amounts of students' money that they simply overlooked such a small thing as a tuition fee hike. At other campuses, including Simon Fraser University's, there are standing committees on matters that affect students — such as student aid, housing and tuition fee hikes. At UBC, there is the subcommittee to deal with tuition fee raises; it was formed this month and, if all goes as the board wants which it probably will, it will be disbanded next month. The fight against tuition fees by the Socreds on the second floor of SUB has been a joke. The only thing to do now is to call for the students themselves to fight. The board of governors is meeting Nov. 4 to decide whether the fees you pay should go up 13 per cent next year. Go up to the AMS offices in the northwest corner of the second floor of SUB and ask what they intend to do about it. Then ask where to go on Tuesday a week from today. If students council and its executive won't do it, we will just have to do it ourselves. Sexism A letter arrives from a reader who advocates sexual harassment of women as part of what another reader calls 'a Swiftian proposal.' Then comes another from a teaching assistant who claims an issue such as sexual harassment is irrelevant to union negotiations. We are forced to hold our laughter on the former and our applause on the latter because we hear, in today's issue of The Ubyssey, that 90 per cent of women in the labor force consider sexual harassment a serious problem. Both letters, in the uncouth words of a former editor, "suck the big turd." Sexual harassment of women on the job is neither a joke nor is it irrelevant. It is the uncivilized result of a slave- master mentality that has dogged employees in general and women in particular. In this time of increasing female participation in the work force, sexual harassment is of central importance. To some men such matters may not loom too large as problems society must face. But then, many of those men haven't applied for jobs where the chances are good they'll be expected to be buggered by someone. The problems women face in our society in trying to be recognized as full-fledged first class citizens are tragic, not comic. Only the most insensitive of anachronistic human beings could see them as unimportant. *. **4t ' V* V */"«'■• v" -;*<.. ' - -<.?g ;- Metten's points against TAU picked apart In a recent letter to The Ubyssey A. W. F. Metten offered his opinion of the TA Union's contract demands. A TA Union may well be "unique" among unions (although ours is not the only union of teaching assistants) but I am not interested in arguing the merits of organized labor here. Rather I would simply comment, point by point, on Matten's opinions. (1) Medical/Dental coverage. Matten seems to think that because some fulltime workers have not gained this coverage, then neither should part-time workers. Regardless of the merit (if any) of this argument the point to be considered is this: Life below the poverty line is never easy, especially if one becomes ill or injured. Medical cover- Satire misunderstood Following the letter by Robert Johnson in the Oct. 23 Ubyssey, the Ubyssey staff added a little note asking if Mr. Johnson's letter would be as funny if "woman" were replaced by "black," "Oriental," etc., thereby revealing that they had missed the point. The letter is obviously a satire along the lines of Swift's Modest Proposal, in which Swift took the role of a very logical, cold-hearted gentleman who proposed ending the Irish famine by serving the children of the poor to the rich as food. Now does anyone honestly believe that Swift, even in his heart of hearts, really thought that this was the solution? Undoubtedly it is what he thought was happening in a figurative sense, and he attempted to get his outrage across to other people. Although Mr. Johnson is not quite in Swift's league, what he seems to have done is create a little satire which not only mocks some men's attitudes towards women, but points out one problem of the feminist movement, of which any one who has done any reading will be aware. The letter would not be as "funny" if "woman" were replaced by "black," "Oriental," or "commerce student" (nice touch, that), because there are no members of these groups (so far as I am aware) actively campaigning to keep themselves in a subjugated state. But there is a fairly large, or at least vocal, group of women who are campaigning precisely to keep the role assigned to them in Mr. Johnson's satire. Why they are doing it is another question entirely, but there is no doubt that they exist. If I have been mistaken about the intent of Mr. Johnson's letter, and it was really just a blatant case of male chauvinist piggery, let me assure him that I do apologize for taking it out of context, and missing the point myself so completely. Certainly I would not want to embarrass anybody with unnecessary comparisons to Swift. John Burgess graduate studies age is more of a necessity for the poor than the rich. In addition, medical insurance premiums form a larger percentage of our pay than most. Is it unreasonable to ask our employer to help defray this cost? (2) Academic freedom. I am sorry to see that Metten takes "freedom of speech" to be a "hazy catch phrase." Eastern bloc academics do not find their governments' response to the exercise of such freedom "nebulous." But, of course, we are not living in the east. If there is no threat to such freedoms here, why object to this statement of principle? And if there is such a threat, then there is all the more reason for its inclusion. (3) Sexual harassment. Contrary to Matten's opinion, there are no "laws already existing in the labor relations code" which speak to this issue. Inclusion of this clause in our contract will make it unique (and no doubt the envy of many workers who must put up with harassment daily). The university, by the way, agrees with our definition of sexual harassment, and with the grievance procedure outlined in the contract. This makes their reasons for its exclusion all the more mysterious. Are they afraid we will set an example which the secretaries and clerical workers might follow? (4) Equality between faculties. Until Metten can convince me that teaching an introductory chemistry lab is intrinsically more difficult than teaching an introductory phil osophy or English section, I will stand for the TAU's demand of equal pay for equal work. One further point needs to be raised here. Metten seems to think that a demand for "poverty line" wages is "excessive." May I remind him that our "hourly" work as TAs, markers and tutors is not all we are being paid for — nor all that we are contributing to this university. Jonathan Katz philosophy TA U thanks Metten On behalf of the TA Union, I would like to thank Mr. Metten for his comments on our negotiating position, as expressed in The Ubyssey Oct. 23. The TAU, since its inception a year and a half ago, has been actively seeking input from UBC's TAs, markers and tutors in order that we may formulate a bargaining proposal that accurately reflects the needs and aspirations of the employees we represent. At present, we have every reason to believe that our contract proposals do in fact have the support of our membership. For example, our last general meeting, on Sept. 30, voted unanimously to give our negotiating committee a mandate to negotiate a sexual harassment article. The principle of an academic freedom article was supported by all members present but one. We realize that there are some TAs, like Mr. Metten, who are happy with the status quo, and who believe our bargaining demands are excessive. Obviously, however, the union's prime responsibility is toward its own members. Any complaints about our performance are certain to be taken seriously if they came from within. Therefore, we invite Mr. Metten and other non-members to join the union, come to our meetings, ask questions, discuss issues, and vote according to their conscience. Our phone number is 228-4883, and our next general meeting is this Thursday, Oct. 30 at 12:30 p.m., in the Grad Centre garden room.

Tuesday, October 28,1980 THE U BYS S EY Page 5 'Stalin protected USSR minorities' A recent letter confused the stand of the Bolsheviks with the crimes of the renegades to Marxism-Leninism, Khruschev and Brezhnev. Under the genuinely revolutionary leadership of Lenin and Stalin, the rights of the national minority peoples in the Soviet Union were safeguarded. Their cultures were protected, their right to be educated in their mother tongues insured, and in many cases the government assisted in the alphabetization of their language and thus recorded and preserved them, so near were they to extinction under the great Russian chauvinism of the czars. Your correspondent pointed out that in the 1930s Ukrainian school children studied Russian for only two hours a day, and the rest of their studies were in Ukrainian. This was a correct policy which has been reversed, and the chauvinism of the czars restored. Albania furnishes a contemporary example of the correct Marxist- Leninist attitude toward national minorities. There, the Greek minority is guaranteed the right to be educated in Greek, and to speak Greek, no matter where they live in Albania. The right of the Greek minority to dress in their traditional PANGO-PANGO (UNS) — Denizens of this tiny island kingdom were shocked and dismayed today to learn that several hairy puce blorgs had abandoned the Daily Blah, a respected journal of irresponsible opinion and libel, to agents of Pathetic Jest, a subsidiary of Chompsem Newspapers. The erstwhile scribes were reported to have joined the Hash Rebels, a local religious cult that actively promotes tooth decay. manner, and to observe their customs is not only guaranteed, the government of Albania actively encourages the exercise of these rights. Contrast this stand with the Canadian government which has committed genocide against the native people, and trampled underfoot the culture of the peoples recruited from many lands to colonize Canada. In times of crisis, the Canadian government has moved from the "mere" denigration of their culture to open physical attacks and deportations, as in the case of the Chinese, the Japanese, and the East Indian peoples. The Canadian government has a history of trampling in the dirt the national customs of peoples, in an effort to turn Canadians into a ho mogenized collection with a plastic, McDonald's, consumerist culture. Your reader is wrong to assert that Hardial Bains and CPC(M-L) support the great Russian chauvinism of Brezhnev and his gang.

Tuesday, October 28,1980 THE UBYSSEY Page 7 Terminal City avoids cliche By LAWRENCE PANYCH Psychological exploration, so often cliched and pathetically self- indulgent, can be risky business for serious artists. While they might be perfectly well intentioned when spilling their guts in public, we the audience may be able to muster nothing more than a yawn in appreciation. It is refreshing to find a group of artists who manage to maintain some balance when dwelling on the internal. Vancouver's Terminal City Dance is such a group. In a series of intimate evenings which began last weekend at the Western Front Lodge they open a few doors into some of the darker corners of the subconscious and invite us to open a few of our own. Why it is exactly that Terminal City is able to avoid the previously mentioned pitfalls is difficult to pinpoint. Perhaps it is because of their ability to give some universal quality to their very personal statements. We are not expected to sit passively by and watch but are constantly invited and even challenged to wed their experiences to our own. The company's style involves the defining of a new reality through artful compositions of movement and sound and careful use of the performance space. Space and time are distorted to create a nightmarish or even 'stoned' sort of sensation which draws us deep into our own subconscious. Terminal City Dance Western Front Lodge nightly at 8:30 In the first piece of the program, Cantus, two of the musician- dancers, Terry Hunter and Savannah Walling, are stationed in front of two opened doors at the back of the studio and perform a fascinating composition of chants, scattered phrases and percussion composed for them by Michael Baker. Dancer-choreographer Karen Rimmer, meanwhile is yanked about by this domineering and inexplicable fracas shouting at her from the darker recesses. It is not simply a view of one individual's chaotic and irrational mind. It is perhaps an honest look at the process which underlies most of human motivation. In Creature, choreographed and danced by Terry Hunter, we are treated to a kind of ritualistic dance of an enormous eight or ten legged insect-like being. The superb structure designed by Hunter and Evelyn Roth gives the piece much of its arresting quality. Hunter has mounted various sized drums at the end of each of the legs which he beats in a steadily increasing tempo. As the piece ends the creature approaches to within inches of the audience, towering above the spectators sitting on the floor. The lights go down. There is silence and IT IS THERE standing in the dark above LITHESOME LIMBS . . . challenge audience. usl For a brief moment we experience a chill as we descend into a world of insects and other multiple legged creatures. We the observers are now the observed. Undoubtedly another reason for the success of Terminal City Dance in holding audience attention is their frequent punctuation of pieces with bits of humor. In the last work of the program, Time Piece, the artists, true to their style, concern themselves with deep psychological questions but in a way which is imaginative and fun. This work contains some pleasant surprises for the unsuspecting audience. The creations of Terminal City Dance are integrated performance pieces. The artists are musicians and actors as well as dancers. Movement taken by itself is simple and not particularly notable. This is, one would think, a criticism given that the group calls itself a dance company. But then Terminal City Dance is different and the title of dance company is overly restrictive for a group to whom the concept is of prime importance. B-52s and assorted flora and fauna strafe Commodore in music blitz By ROSS BURNETT Zany is a term usually used to describe Monty Python but the B-52s were certainly that and more last Monday night at the Commodore Ballroom. From dress straight out of Archie comics to insane dance steps, the B-52s were like live specimens from the inner sleeve of Led Zeppelin's Presence. The lights went down and out bounced five cool cats who started the party rolling with the erotic Lava from the first album. From this things got only better as 6060-842, 52 girls. Devil in My Car, Private Idaho, Dance This Mess Around, Quiche Lorraine and Rock Lobster were all performed as only the B-52s could: Cindy beating the bongoes and screaming hysterically, Keith pounding away on a sur prisingly sparse drum kit, Fred singing and dancing, Kate keeping her 88s and massive coiffure straight and Ricky like a statue, picking strings. Ricky was truly amazing, concentrating on his guitar he didn't look up at the audience once. He changed guitars almost every song. Quiche Lorraine was one of the many highlights. This is a neat little number about a dark green, two inch high poodle who runs away with a great dane. It is typical of the B-52s bizarre themes. Their lyrics are, well, zany. From their biggest hit. Rock Lobster, we have: We were at the beach Everybody had matching towels Somebody went under a dock There they saw a rock It wasn't a rock It was a rock lobsterl The music is a combination of drums, organs and tinny guitar producing a fast and furious rhythm, sometimes repetitious, but seldom boring. The B-52s take nothing seriously. .They make no great social comment. They barely touch on the age-old boy-girl theme and when they do strange things happen. From their first album is 6060-842, a song about a telephone number from a bathroom wall. A young lady is trying to connect with to meet a man of her dreams. On the second album is Strobe Light in which a young chap tells his girlfriend (over the phone again) the things he's going to do to her when they make love under the strobe light. "I'm going to kiss your pineapple!" These are the most straightforward songs. Few groups have tried to imitate the B-52s — few would be able to. Not many contemporary song writers are able to detach themselves from reality and be just downright iooney the way the B-52s are. Perhaps they caught the new wave bandwagon at precisely the right moment, half a year sooner or later and they may have been laughed right out of the record company's office. The group did not sprout up overnight though, they became a sensation in Georgia (not Nebraska) then the East Coast before striking gold with Rock Lobster. Initiation After a much too short set, the party troopers returned for three encore numbers and many more groovy dance steps, leaving the pseudo punks and trendy new wavers howling for more. A lot of them probably went to the Gardens Tuesday night for another dose. One of the encore songs was 53 Miles West of Venus. This only has one line (you guessed it), repeated umpteen times. Good clean fun. The backup band Monday night was a local group The Singing Cowboys. While their songs tended to sound somewhat similar the group needs only to iron out a few kinks (like their name) to be yet another great band spawned in our fair city. Their bassist by the way is simply excellent. Page 8 THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, October 28,1980 'Birds, Dinos stack on top By SCOTT McDONALD The Canadian West University soccer season has ended and they do not know who won. The University of Calgary and UBC both ended their season tied for first place but because this has never happened before league officials do not know how to break the tie. The 'Birds played one of their best games of the season Saturday when they defeated the University of Saskatchewan Huskies 5-0. On Friday Calgary played to a 0-0 tie with the University of Edmonton. Executives of the league will be discussing possible solutions today. They will have several methods of doing this. They could look at the results of the games that the teams played against each other. By using this method Calgary would come out ahead by virtue of their having taken three out of a possible four points from UBC. But if goals for and against are looked at then UBC would come out the winner. Needless to say the respective athletic offices are both pushing for the tie- breaking system that would favor their school. The Canadian Soccer Association has been contacted and has suggested that the two teams hold a playoff to decide the league champion. 'Bird coach Joe Johnson said that one of the reasons that the 'Birds played so well was that team captain Eric Jones was back after being sidelined with a broken ankle. The steadying influence of Jones on the fullback line was very apparent as the 'Birds earned their third shutout of the season. Also back from injury was 'keeper Ben Becker who played a steady game. Johnson said that because Becker was not tested seriously by the Huskies it was a good day for him to come back. Gordy Johnson once again led the 'Birds by scoring two goals. Johnson is now the league scoring champion with nine goals over the eight-game season. Rookie Joel Johnson also scored twice and midfielder Randy Coutts rounded out the scoring. Johnson was particularly effective in penetrating from his wing position and is showing promise of developing into a prolific scorer capable of replacing the graduating Gord Johnson as team scoring leader. Coach Johnson said that he hopes the soccer league will "take a page out of basketball's book" and institute a playoff system. Tettes hit the top By JO-ANNE FALKINER The CWUAA season is over and all is well with the field hockey Thunderettes. In the third and final tournament played this weekend in Victoria, UBC won three out of four games and are once again Canada West champions. In the first game of the tournament UBC defeated the University of Calgary 4-0. Janis Wilson scored two goals for UBC while Anne Crofts and Sue Macdonald each netted one. Dana Sinclair scored all three Thunderette goals in the second game when the University of Alberta went down 3-1. In the game against the University of Saskatchewan Crofts added two goals to her total. A single by Arlyn Copithorne left the final score at 3-1. Once again the University of Victoria was UBC's toughest competition. The Thunderettes were unable to get on the scoreboard and went down 1-0 to the Vikettes. This was the Thunderettes first loss of the season and did not affect their position in the league. UBC finished with 38 points, well ahead of second place UVic with 33.5 The Thunderettes travel to Toronto Nov. 6 for the Canadian national championships. ( 'Bird droppings J The UBC Thunderbird hockey team knocked off the Kamloops Cowboys twice in the weekend Senior Hockey League exhibition matches. On Sunday night the 'Birds had to score late in the third period to clip the Cowboys 6-5. Saturday, UBC had an easier time, downing Kamloops 8-2. In volleyball the Thunderettes travelled to Oregon to take part in the Portland State invitational this weekend. The Thunderettes won every game.

Friday night the 'Birds defeated the Saskatchewan Huskies 14-0, but Saturday the Calgary Dinosaurs racked up a win against the University of Alberta Golden Bears and edged UBC out of the playoffs. In the UBC-Saskatchewan game, played in the rain before 200 fans at Thunderbird stadium, the 'Birds secondary made all the difference. UBC's secondary, one of the best in Canadian college football, intercepted three passes, including one by Laurent DesLauriers with 8:20 to play and the Huskies deep in UBC territory. That interception ef fectively killed any hopes the Huskies may have had. Turnovers played a crucial role. Four minutes into the game Pat Cantner recovered a Huskie fumble on the Saskatchewan 11-yard line which set up a 26-yard field goal by Ken Munro. Another fumble by Huskie QB Ron Morris on his own 32 led to UBC's only touchdown. 'Bird quarterback Dave Thistle plunged into the end zone on a one-yard dive. The conversion by Ken Munro left it 10-0. The 'Birds got another safety at 8:28 of the second quarter when Munro missed a 26-yard field goal, and then put their final two points on the board when a snap from centre soared over punter Paul Hickie's head and into the Huskies' end zone. The win kept UBC alive in the WIFL playoff race with a 3-3-1 record, one point behind second-place Calgary. Had the Dinosaurs gone down to the league-leading University of Alberta Golden Bears on Saturday, UBC would have clinched the second and final playoff spot. However, the Dinos toppled the Bears 41-33 in Edmonton Saturday and eliminated the 'Birds from playoff contention. The 'Birds end their season next Saturday when they come up against the Dinosaurs in Calgary. \\3». Halloween Masks Posters — Prints 738-2311 3209 W.
