David Orchard, chair of the Citizens Concerned about Free Trade said, "Canadians are being asked to go to a polling booth and vote on a document that no Canadian has yet seen and will not see. "Not only is there no final legal text, there is no final text at all. All we have is this unsigned report and there is no binding commitment to the written text at all." The published text does not meanmuchjOrchardsaid, because the Charlottetown accord contains 60 items yet to be negotiated by the first ministers. Orchard shared the concern* of other opponents of the accord that ratifying the Charlottetown accord will not dispel but rather confound the "constitutional wrangling." "If they get a yes vote then the premiers and Mulroney can go back and complete their mangling ofthe constitution, and there will never be a chance to vote in the final text, because there won't bea second referendum. Nobody has told us what is wrong with the current constitution let alone the necessity of entirely rewriting the law ofthe land." The Union ofBC Indian Chiefs and CCAFT are joined in the *NO' camp by the Native Women's Association of Canada who argued in the Supreme Court in August that the constitutional process was undemocratic. The court ruled that the constitutional process violated the Charter Right to freedom of expression by denying the Native women's group a seat atthe constitutional talks. A court injunction lodged by NWAC to stop the referendum has been stalled to allow input on the matter from the four recognized Native groups. Barbara Wyss, vice-president ofthe NWAC affiliated BC Native Women's Society, said the four Native groups support the accord because they helped create it. The main contention against the accord held by NWAC and other women's groups is that the accord substantially weakens the Charter Rights of disadvantaged groups. UBCIC president Saul Terry said the accord is a blueprint for David Orchard speaks out against free trade and the Charlottetown Accord. ELA|NE Griffith photo the extinguishing of land rights and treaty rights. "What is being put forward is a termination policy, and inherent self-government is the vehicle to sell this termination. We are being asked to give up our land and live under the law of Canada and then negotiate it back in bits and pieces." "The referendum process is unlawful and doesn't give full information regarding the proposal. Even on that basis it must be rejected," Terry said. Orchard, who worked with Manitoba MLA. Elijah Harper in defeating the Meech Lake Accord, said the new constitutional deal will broaden the wealth gap among the provinces. The Charlottetown accord allows the provinces to opt out with compensation from federal programs, leaving each province to replace them without standards to regulate the programs across the country, he said. "We believe that [the Charlottetown accord] will lead to ten balkanized provinces, not a unified country at all. Combined with the Free Trade Agreement this document will weaken the East-West ties that hold the country together, and it will lead to the dissolution of Canada." Orchard said the no side has a "David versus Goliath" contest with government's Yes campaign. He said the federal government's $7 million advertising campaign will be "polluting the airwaves" and predicts that by mid-October all television-viewing audiences will have been exposed to 13 referendum commercials in one week. Turner predicts students to vote Yes by Rick Hiebert John Turner predicted yesterday that Canadian students will strongly vote Yes in the constitutional referendum later this month. "I think they will vote yes, more than Canadians as a whole will," the Liberal MP for Vancouver-Quadra (UBC's federal riding) said after a speech in SUB yesterday. "It will be very close nationally, but I would guess that there is a strong Yes majority on campuses. You'll see a solid Yes there." Turner, the former head ofthe national Liberal party and a former Prime Minister, may be biased, however. He is one of the more prominent Yes supporters in BC, and has travelled with Esquimalt NDP MP Dave Barrett to speak in support of the Charlottetown accord. "I do think that students at universities will vote Yes, not necessarily because I am a Yes supporter, but because that is what I am picking up from speaking to them," he said. "I feel that students are smarter than people in general, they are more careful to read and think and ask good questions. They are more likely to read the constitutional documents and understand why this is a good deal, without being swayed," Turner said. "Ifound, duringthelastfederal election, that it was students who were mostly likely to have studied the US-Canada free trade agreement. Fm finding that of the students I speak to about the constitution. They have thought about the issues," he said. In his speech, Turner called the deal "a typical historical Canadian compromise," eliciting a little laughter from the audience. Although he's not in favour of national referenda (he deems them contrary to the "British political tradition"), he says the referendum will "give the public a chance to endorse a united Canada." "I don't think it's a bad deal and I think BC came out very well," Turner said. "Everyone engaged in give and take, and there were no winners and losers." "This country has gone through a self-flagelation in recent years with this [constitutional] debate," he said. "The consequences of a No vote are not going to be academic, they are going to be real. I predict that if Canadians vote No, they'll wake up the next morning saying What have we done to ourselves?"" He did not feel comfortable in predicting what would happen if Canadians voted down the accord, he said in an interview conducted after speech. But during his speech he sai d he feared that international investors would pull funds from a Canada they deemed unstable politically. He said he thought BC Premier Mike Harcourt, widely derided for.not sticking up for BC's interests, was a positive force at the negotiations, and that was also how the Ottawa, Ontario and Quebec delegations to the constitutional talks felt. Turner also suggested that voters pass judgement on the proposed accord, and not the politicians bringing the deal forward. "I never thought I would ever say this, but he is the only Prime Minister we have," he said. "You can always get Mulroney or Harcourt later at the ballot box. Separate that from this issue." Native education explored by Lucho van Isschot First Nations educators are calling for a more human, more spiritual approach to teaching. The 1992 Mokakit Conference on First Nations education held at UBC last week, however, was about much more than education—it was also about ways of knowing, and about incorporating First Nations' philosophies into academic research. Akeynote address was made by UBC alumnus Ethel Gardener, who is going to Harvard to continue her studies in education at the doctoral level. She said, "Heart and spirit are very important, and very much a part of thiB conference— in just about every aspect ofthe conference that I participated in." Gardener emphasized the importance of incorporating spirituality and emotion into scientific research in particular. "We have talked a lot about science, and about spirit and love in science. If we don't get those things back into science, weVe doomed," Gardener warned. Another keynote speaker, Carl Urion, a Metis instructor from the University of Calgary, spoke urgently about the need for autonomy and integrity in Firet Nations education. He said, "Despite tremendous advances in research in Native education in the past 20 years, we are still in a state of crisis. And our crisis is deepening." Urion said in order to overcome this crisis it is necessary to train more First Nations teach ers. He also said that First Na- tdons communities be permitted to run their own schools is imperative. "Our job, I think, is to research operational and educational programs that emphasize teaching from the heart," he said. *We can't deal with [the issues of] autonomyandintegrity in Bim ply political and social terms," he concluded, "because we could build the greatest political systems and social structures and still not survive as a people." Several hundred people from New Zealand, North and Central America came to participate in the three-day conference. Among the many other speakers featured at Mokakit was Oscar Kawagley, who discussed issues of concern to First Nations educators in Alaska. Jennie Joe, a Navajo physician, made a presentation on health and Fi rst Nations peoples entitled "American Indian Concepts of Wellness and Unwellness." There were too many other excellent speakers and presentations at the conference to mention. . Gardener described the conference as a "booster shot" to First Nations people working in education.

Studio 58, Langara Campus October 1-18 AIDS enters the movie because it has to, lending a depth and credibility to a less than deserving film. An exploration of alternative sexual practices runs parallel to the wham-bam-thanks- now-get-lost sex that predominates. One character uses telephone sex hotlines to get off, but when one of his partners suggests that they meet to consummate their conversation', he hangs up. One of the truly original scenes in the film is a mini-classic of voyeurism in which three people watch each other masturbate, each in his/her separate apartment: the ultimate in safe sex. While there is some cynical commentary on the young artsy-hip scene (one character explains that he's an artist because "it's a good way to make a lot of money"), it is mainly a non-editorialized trip down a chain of sexual connections. AIDS then takes one participant and we begin to count back and see how many people have been infected. The links in the chain present a very scary understanding ofthe disease's domino effect. AIDS becomes the final, brutal judgement of our generation's hedonism. Director Temistocles Lopez has created an interesting series of vignettes; however, the dialogue is so scrappy that, although _ it has its moments, the film fails to be truly stimulating, sidestepping its potential for new insight into sex in the 90s as it skirts the issue of AIDS.

Profiles.of alternative media outlets around North America suggest that Chomsky's dissident view is not as isolated as the mainstream media would have us think. Chomsky's belief in the power of "ordinary people to realize the truth, and to fight against oppressive institutions, provides some hope that we can all follow a course of "intellectual self-defense".

His live show was an impersonal, rehearsed feature medio issue, presentation. Its only spice was his teasing the crowd by tearing his shirt, then turning off the lights. The only encore produced two more songs, and that same feeling of emptiness. The only consolation was the fact that I heard his moan louder than I had ever heard it before. It turned the steamy arena into a shivering wasteland of melancholy tremors. The entire crowd seemed to shiver in unison as his moan turned their spines into jello. There aren't many people that can do that to me, I guess that is what makes Morrissey what he is. That haunting voice channeled all that depressed energy into an audio projection. It was a deeply moving experience, but his music is a personal music experience; listen at home. November 6th). the illegal market diver the protests ofthe young people. •• The play contains a good deal of sexist language. One character, Lucia, is loaded with . negative energy and associated with such faults as materialism, Americanism and even (oh no) premarital sex. She is constantly reviled by male Characters, with lines like, "You're a slut, Lucia." One hesitates to say whether this represents unprocessed sexism or a mimetic description of sexism. One wants to give the woman playwright the benefit of the doubt. However, the production itself highlights the abuse while refusing to focus on Lucia's resources in the face of attack and is thus very sexist. The play is mostly about "normal people," no doubt to show the effects of male politics on "average citizens" in true scientifico-journalism fashion. Everyone in this piay has a job they really care about, everyone is heterosexual, and no one is alienated from the drug rituals of their culture, , Ultimately, hampered by its own gender and class politics, this political" play doesn't get very far. by Colin Maycock Religious zealots of all stripes will not like this film. Civilized people will. VANCOUVER FILM FESTIVAL ANGEL OF FIRE (Mexico) Hollywood theatre Directed by Dana Rotberg Ostensibly, Angel of Fire illustrates the impossibility of redemption for the perpetrators of mortal sins. On this level it depicts a bleak reality in which the sinners are punished beyond the call of justice by the inexorable progress of events, overseen (presumably) by a vengeful God. The narrative concerns Alma, a young performer in a circus/brothel (suggestively called Fantasy) who is impregnated by her father the clown. She leaves (Fab-0 running away from the circus) and quickly joins a travelling religious troupe. Led by a matriarch and her son, who she feels is a prophet, the religious show moves through the apocalyptic landscape of the squatter settlements on the outskirts of a city, collecting names and adding them to the Book ofthe Righteous (for a price). The Prophet, Sacramento, falls in love/lust with Alma, and recognizing the impropriety of his desire, engages in all manner of suitably auto- flagellatory rites. Alma miscarries due to the brutality ofthe matriarch's purification rites and is quickly returned to the circus (ah, the return ofthe prodigal child). In this way the film questions the viewers' notions of sin, and by extension, right and wrong. On the one hand, there are the representatives ofthe holy order praying for and preying upon the outcasts and the weak— the ones who truly deserve to have a heaven to go to—and on the other, there are the midgets, the clowns, the whores and other symbols ofthe fallen and damned. Yet, which is worse? The apparently consensual union of daughter and father or the sadistic excesses perpetrated by the matriarch on and through her son in the name of righteousness. One could argue that both the father and mother are the real sinners and that the children merely serve as vessels that suffer the ultimate consequences of their respective elders' wrongs. Either way, and with the finesse of a truly delightful tragedy, the main protagonists die: Sacramento slits his wrists and ends up spread-eagled across his workbench—what a superb tableau: Christ crucified by his own desire—and Alma in the inferno ofthe burning big top. So there you have it. Angel of Fire is a fine film with a wicked sense of humour. Yes, although it does deal with some major and potentially turgid themes, it maintains a sense of proportion via its liberal application of vicious ironies that deflate not only the characters' aspirations but those ofthe film.
