Documents obtained by The Ubyssey show proof of allegations from distribution of free beer at an unlicensed arts function and sponsorship of poorly attended concerts to the tune of $3,000 to refusal to contribute to charity during arts week. But arts representative Bob Staley denied the charges and said the documents are a "vicious attack directed at the AUS." "It's obvious they have got their facts distorted. If they had put in the amount of energy they put into complaining and harassing the AUS it would have been a more successful (arts) week." Staley added the $380 dinner is "an old AUS tradition" for the seven-member executive. "It has been a tradition that when the old executive leaves the new executive holds a dinner for them. It was for more than seven people." The document also shows the AUS gave away free beer at an unlicensed beer garden at the expense of society members. "We did it and we don't feel any remorse about it. It was just a good event and I don't think there's anything wrong with that," said Staley. But he agreed as charged, the executive did not make copies of a new arts constitution available to members until the day it was voted on. "It would have been a disturbance to students to present them with an incomplete and unfinished draft of the constitution." But he added the executive was willing to discuss the constitution changes with any interested AUS member. "It wasn't a secret attempt to hide something." Charges that $350 was allocated for "security" at a dance are also true, said Staley. "But the money wasn't spent. As with things in arts week we allocated for more money than we spent to have a margin of error in case of emergency," he said. "The best example of that was the (dance) hall. We allocated $1,000 but we only spent $270." But arts representative Jack Hittrich said the $350 was not allocated for security at the dance. THE UBYSSEY Vol. LXII, No.fff tt Vancouver, B.C.

Burnaby plans useless public forum By GEOF WHEELWRIGHT The general public will be allowed to comment on the provincial government's Discovery Parks scheme for the first time next month, although the government is already assuming they will approve the plan. Burnaby residents will be invited to a public hearing April 15 on a planned research park near the B.C. Institute of Technology, despite the fact the government has already allocated $10 million for the construction of a multi-tenant industrial research facility there. But Burnaby mayor Dave Mer- cier said the public hearing can still affect the fate of the park's zoning application. He said the govern- TA vote closes today UBC teaching assistants began voting yesterday in their first bid for union certification amid charges the vote was poorly publicized and the poll inconveniently located. One TA, who refused to be identified, said there were few posters on campus detailing the Buch. 164 location of the poll. "There was a massive amount of publicity telling you to vote yes, and there were few signs telling you where the polling station was," said the student. "The applied sciences are at the other end of campus and those TAs might have problems finding the place. It's been shown that the professional schools are not for the union." But at least one TA from the mathematics department said he was happy with the voting arrangements. There was a slow but steady turnout yesterday and organizers are hoping the rest of the 1,000 TAs on campus will vote today. ment approved the assignment of the money for the site because Bur- naby's planning department assured them the zoning application would likely pass. Discovery Parks Inc. has to get Burnaby council's approval to re- zone the BCIT site to accommodate the light industry planned in con- juction with research at that park. Mercier said the planning department told the Socred government six months ago the zoning application would be approved. "If they hadn't set is aside then (in this year's budget), they would have had to delay it a year," said Mercier. He said his greatest concern about the park is the public's possible reaction to it. "I'll be concerned if anyone over-reacts to the industrial content of the proposed operation," said Mercier. He added that the proposed light industry in the park would be "nothing of a magniture that would cause anyone any concern." According to a report presented to Bur naby council that industry is currently slated to include: • electronic and electrical products such as transistors, semiconductors, small computers and compact communication devices; • optical, fiber optical, and photographic products and equipment; • scientific and professional instruments for measurement, data recording, monitoring, simulation and evaluation of information; • laser technology and ulta- sound products (depending on the clear definition and assured safety of such endeavors); • small scale telecommunications and satellite applications; and • nuclear physics products "depending on the clear definition and assured safety of such proposals." Mercier said the park will start productive spin-off industries for the surrounding municipality. "The spin-off development is the key to See page 3: PARK Spring fever has found the Alma Mater Society. Members of the AMS external affairs office and the B.C. Students' Federation have buried the hatchet with a new agreement on future cooperation they hope will prevent fiascos such as last week's tuition hike protest in Victoria. AMS external affairs coordinator Al Soltis met with BCSF chair Malcolm Elliott Thursday to discuss ways the society and BCSF can work more closely in the future. "We're going to work with BCSF," said Soltis. "We're all going for the same thing. We can use them and they can use us." Both Soltis and Elliott said increased cooperation between the AMS and the federation might be mutually beneficial. "We're duplicating a lot of our work," Elliott said. Soltis said he and Elliott also discussed the delegation UBC is sending to Victoria next week to voice concerns about increased tuition fees. Elliott said he hopes UBC's delegation can complement BCSF's previous efforts. UBC did not send official representation to a BCSF demonstration in Victoria last week because Soltis said he did not have adequate time to prepare for the protest. "We're UBC and that means we should be doing stuff with class," said Soltis. "We don't want to send bullshit over (to Victoria)." Soltis added he is seriously considering a fall referendum to ask UBC students to join the National Union of Students or BCSF. Similar referendums in recent years have failed because they did not meet quorum. Soltis said UBC students have a general misunderstanding of BCSF. "A lot of people think they're just a bunch of radical longhairs," he said. "But they're not a paper giant or tin gold." But Elliott said his chief concern is to fight tuition increases, not solicit UBC's membership in BCSF. "The issue is student aid — it's fucked," he said. Although UBC has never officially been a member of BCSF it has sent representatives to many federation conferences. Soltis said communication problems are part of the reason the AMS has not been well- informed of BCSF activities in the past. He said he hopes to examine UBC's increased involvement with BCSF and NUS this summer while determining student opinion. "Anyone who wants to can become involved," said Soltis. "We've got to have people with \\ar\\ing opinions." He said he expects to get some "flak" at next week's student council meeting about the planned See page 3 UBC THE UBYSSEY Friday, March 21,1980 Spring Sale Continues HURRY ONLY 1-2-3-4-5 OF-A-KIND & SOME DISPLAY MODELS ALL ITEMS CARRY FULL GUARANTEES HUNDREDS OF UNADVERTISED SPECIALS 0»D nioixnE-erc CAR STEREO SUPER STEREO SYSTEMS KPX-9500 In-Dash Supertuner & Cassette Deck With DolDy RhodM Prlca $319.95 KPX-9000 In-Dash AM/FM Supertuner Cassette Deck $289.00 KPX-600 Under Dash FM Supertuner Cassette Deck $199.00 KP-88G Under Dash Cassette Deck With Dolby $179.96 KP-66G Under Dash Cassette Deck $149.95 Required tor above OM-40 Amplifier 20 W/CH (For UM With Super Systems) . . $74.95 OM-120 Amplifier 60 W/CH (For Uaa With Super Systems) $147.00 IN-DASH CASSETTES KE-5000 AM/FM Supertuner, Electrohome Tuning - Cassette Digital Frequency and Clock Dolby FM & Tape CR02 Tape Selector, P.NS Scan & Seek $419.96 KP-8500 AM/FM Supertuner, and Cassette With Dolby North American Cars $249.96 KP-0005 AM/FM Supertuner and Cassette North American Cars $239.96 KP-8000 AM/FM Supertuner, and Cassette European Cars $249.96 KP-5005 AM/FM Supertuner and Cassette $189.00 KP-575 Cassette Auto Reverse With Automatic Tape Slack Cancellor under dash $149.00 KP-373 Cassette - Auto Replay u/dash $129.96 KP-272 Cassette Deck under dash $99.96 CAR STEREO SPEAKERS SURFACE MOUNTING RHODES PRICE PER PAIR TS-5 6" Convertible Mount $ 24.95 TS-35 6" - 40 Watt Max Input $ 44.00 TS-X6 2-Way Passive Radiator $119.95 TS-X9 2-Way Deluxe $219.95 With More Spectacular Savings!

Kane will gef 'trial by board' UBC professor Julius Kane's second appeal to the university's board of governors will be held in a trial-like atmosphere, a former board member said Thursday. "They'll be more like a jury," said George Hermanson. "The whole thing has to be proceeded on at another level." Hermanson said the board must exercise extreme caution in reconsidering the appeal because the previous decision was overturned due to a procedure technicality. The Supreme Court of Canada reversed the board's decision on Kane's appeal of a three-month suspension for alleged improper use of university facilities. In its decision the court said the board's hearing of the appeal was unfair because administration president Doug Kenny, who recommended the suspension, was present during the board's deliberation. Hermanson said half of the board members who considered the orignal Kane appeal are no longer on the board. But he added the current board should uphold Kane's suspension. "There was no ambiguity on the evidence that was presented to the board," he said. "It's important for the board not to reverse its decision." And Hermanson said a decision by the current board to uphold Kane's appeal will not necessarily reflect badly on Kenny's integrity in suspending the animal resource ecology professor. "This board might overrule it," Hermanson said. "Personally I wouldn't see that as a criticism of his (Kenny's) judgement." David Roberts, the lawyer who will represent Kane in his appeal, refused to comment on any new evidence he has to give the board. "To be frank, I'd rather not talk about it," he said. But he said the appeal will be taken to the board's April 8 meeting. UBC's board of governors is getting a low price for its Rockwoods Estate because it did not put the property on the public market, a North Vancouver real estate agent charged Thursday. Getting appraisals on the public market would have been the "more realistic way to do it," said Grouse Realty agent Syd Foster. This approach is the common way to achieve a good selling price, he added. Instead, UBC remained secretive about the deal and when interviewed, major West Vancouver realtors said they were unaware of the existence of the estate or that it was being sold. UBC's current average selling price for a lot on the estate is $58,000, although the average price for waterfront lots is $120,000 and regular lots $80,000, a Permanent realtor said Thursday. Board member George Morfitt said he did not want to discuss the transaction. "It's a private matter of the board of governors. I don't think it's a public matter. It was discussed in a private session." Although West Vancouver realtors claim that the lots are underpriced, UBC spokesman Al Hunter said the board's action is justified. "The board is not a developer," he said. "It has tried for the last five years to utilize the property and has decided to sell it." UBC spokesman Brant Ducey said in a CBC radio interview Thursday that original plans for the property's development were a good idea in 1959 but with "today's economic restraints" they are not feasible. UBC has made several offers during the last five years to develop the site according to deed terms, but a committee appointed to supervise the property rejected them. Development proposals included a training facility for students, a MPs are overworked, says McGill professor Canada's House of Commons is too small and overworked to be an efficient body, a visiting McGill political scientist said Thursday. The concept of proportional representation to correct the pro- MALLORY . . . new option blem is interesting, James Mallory told 60 people in Buch. 104. But he added the idea would be difficult to implement and hard for people to accept. "Canada dismisses it (propor tional representation) as a fad," said Mallory. But he added that because there are no elected Liberal members of the federal cabinet west of Manitoba, people might reconsider the option of proportional representation. Mallory said many Canadians still compare proportional representation to the third and fourth French republics, in which the reins of government changed hands every three or four weeks. The appointment of members at large to parliament, as recommended in Quebec Liberal leader Claude Ryan's "beige paper", would present a partial solution to the parliament's current problems, he said. Mallory said although the House of Commons currently has no input or output, turning it "upside down and inside out" would be entirely too disruptive and destructive to allow the body to function as it had before. He said any major parliamentary and representational changes must be gradual and incremental to become effective. Mallory jokingly suggested reduction of the size of MP's chairs would allow greater representation in the House. He said parliament will eventually change with more innovations such as the broadcast of parliamentary debates, which Mallory said has improved its members' general manners. — kevin finnegan photo "I'VE GOT ITI We'll put a roof over it, say it's sauna equipped, and rent it to students for a criminally high monthly rate," exclaim housing department officials hopeful for promotion when boss Michael Davis returns from Japan.

UBC has failed to maintain the buildings on the site and the West Vancouver municipality has threatened to demolish some buildings even after repairs. As a result, the board had the property appraised last year and decided to sell the property to Cressey Developments Corp. for approximately $1.1 million, said Hunter. Last year the property was appraised at $900,000. The property committee, appointed by donor Maj.-Gen. Victor Odium, is not opposed to the sale but has not said it favors the transaction, said Ducey. Odium once considered subdividing the property himself, he added. In 1959, 4.77 acres of waterfront property near Whytecliffe Park in West Vancouver were given to UBC through a deed of gift by Odium. It was to be used for "the promotion of intimate and intensive studies in the field of fine arts, letters and world affairs, and for specially approved student activities," according to the document, which also included a provision for sale. Proceeds from the land sale will go towards the university after payments are made to the Union Theological College and Vancouver's St. Andrews Wesley United Church. UBC wants lion's share from BCSF From page 1 cooperation between UBC and BCSF. "Some other officers won't be too appreciative," he said. Elliott said UBC's membership in BCSF could add much support to voicing student concerns because it is B.C.'s largest post-secondary institution. He said UBC representatives would have equal say in BCSF policy making. "If their position is coherently presented, then the delegates have the responsibility to evaluate that position," Elliott said. Soltis said information provided by BCSF would be helpful, but added that UBC representation would have to reflect the fact UBC would provide BCSF with about half their budget under current fee guidelines. Park scheme 'open-ended' From page 1 the whole thing. It should help Burnaby become the technological research centre for Canada," he said. But a Simon Fraser University research park committee spokeswoman said the proposal for the Willingdon (BCIT) site was unspecific and open-ended. Bobbie Moyls said the definitions and guarantees regarding laser and nuclear production were inadequate and vague. She said ;he success of the Burnaby public hearings will set a precedent for (development of the) other four research parks in the province. "If BCIT accepted this one (park format) then tht others will too." But Discovery Parks Inc. spokesman Don Larsen said Tuesday the hearings were essentially a formality as part of the rezoning process and related little to the situation at UBC of SFU.

Now, the legal system has finally stepped in where administration angels have previously refused to tread. The dismissal of University of Ottawa biology professor Rudi Strickler for making "unwanted sexual advances" had brought a bit of reality and justice into the situation. When a board of arbitration upheld that dismissal, favor-seeking instructors across Canada suffered a sharp curtailment of their activities. A woman member of that board of arbitration was so intrigued by the problem she is undertaking a study of sexual harassment in the classroom. Norma Bowen said she feared the actual problem of sexual harassment "would be lost in the subsequent dispute between the professor and the administration" should a complaint ever be made. Mind you, UBC's administration would blithely deny such a problem exists in this Valhalla on the west coast. But any woman student could tell them they are either ignorant or lying. And woman students should do just that. Tell the administration the problem does exist. Tell them the name of the offending professor.

AUS executive This is a brief description of how to not get involved in one of the most controversial and strange phenomenas in our society: CULTS. The point of this article is to explain the most simple and uncomplicated method of dealing with cults: when you meet one or more friendly, genuine and happy people who show you an interesting and entertaining time and invite you to dinner, don't go. Unfortunately I did. Two years later I was kidnapped and "deprogrammed" and had a chance to do some objective A traveller's $200 a day guide to American cults perspectives research. One of the acknowledged authorities in the field, Dr. Hardat Sukhdeo, said given 10 days of undivided attention a cult can gain effective mind control over anyone. Incredible notion, eh? WHY WORRY? The reason for the recent concern about cults is they are capable of doing and have done much harm. One can argue philisophically, like Voltaire, that "Liberty of thought is the freedom of the soul." Or one can argue the more practical aspects: many people return from the experience physically or emotionally scarred. There are numerous cases of ex-cult members not being able to cope with their former job or school. And there is the considerable anguish caused, on the part of involved friends or family, who are rejected as being "evil and satanic". TRAVELLER main target WHAT IS A CULT? This is not a doctoral thesis attempting to explicitly describe the phenomena; that is quite difficult. A frequently used definition is: "An elitist, totalitarian society of obsessively devoted individuals, subjected to psychologically coercive recruitment and indoctrination techniques, practising rejection and/or hatred for the rest of society (particularly family and friends)." For two years that was me. There is considerable grey area in defining a "cult", but the emphasis of this article is on the acknowledged groups. The Unification Church (Moonies), Hare Krishnas, Children of God, and the Way Ministry are clearly cults in that they isolate their membership, exclude non-believers and practice deceit in their recruitment. Who Are They Looking For? Who is it they are likely to recruit? People like you. The people recruiters usually work for are 20-30 years old, presently single with some college education and have a couple of days free. I had attended two years at UBC and was travelling through the states en route to Europe to meet a friend. I was wandering around Chinatown, seeing the sights, in San Francisco, when I bumped into two women who were also wandering around Chinatown. They were both in their late twenties and we talked about San Francisco and Haight- Ashbury and chatted generally for perhaps an hour. It was around six o'clock. There "happened" to be an opera-hours dinner in the communal house where they lived (in Nob Hill) and they invited me over. At dinner there were about 30 people, more than half cult members I later understood, and a good time was had by all. There was lots of good food, entertainment and a short talk. Someone described what this commune, called the Creative Community Project, was doing for the Bay Area with organic farming and free food distribution. There was also a slide show of the "land": a beautiful 500 acre farm in the grape growing hills north of San Francisco. This was followed by an incredible invitation: everyone was leaving tonight for a two day retreat on the land. It cost, just $25 and the bus was waiting outside. The enthusiasm and sincerity of the members was amazing, especially considering precisely the same procedure happens every evening. The farm experience was more like a seemingly spontaneous workshop. There were talks and walks and fun and games. Two days rapidly stretched to a week, by which time I had made friends with It took three months before I realized I was a Moonie' many people already in the cult. I could still not get a clear description of the organization but after seven days I realized there was some religion involved. One week stretched into three with the same weekly format and it was at this point I first heard that some of what we heard were teachings of a Rev. Moon. I did not return to San Francisco for four weeks, and it was all of three months before I realized I was a fully fledged member of the Unification Church (a Moonie). At this point I was so accustomed to the group and my fellow workers that it hardly mattered. How Could This Happen? How do people become "brainwashed"? Where was the evil genius who was manipulating people like me into this state of highly increased suggestibility? Actually all my friends and fellow workers were "true-believers". In most cults only a small percentage of highly placed people are corrupt and fully realize and explain the situation. The rest of the members are completely sincere in believing they have found the "truth" and the way to save the world. They are using the techniques of mind control unconsciously on each other and themselves. This includes things like isolation, peer group pressure, games, guilt from past life, sleep deprivation etc. Robert Lifton in Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism documents the identical techniques used by the North Koreans in their civil war. While I was in the cult I spent eight months in the Bay Area recruiting people and helping them join. This often included spending two to four weeks with a new member as their "spiritual parent" I then went fundraising for 16 months in the southern states. We worked out of a Ford van in teams of seven or eight, and averaged $100-$200 per person per day. In the two years in the cult I averaged 4-5 hours sleep and contributed over $80,000 to the organization. Where Were My Folks? My friends and family, wrote and visited but the problem is far outside the normal stream of North American experience. I retained my previous sense of humor, I was lucid and coherent and seemed to be enjoying myself. I was also completely dedicated to an organization that was blatantly corrupt and whose theology culminated in the military defence of South Korea. My family had arguments like "If he thinks he's happy, what right do we have to impose our lifestyle on someone else?"; "He's over 21, he has the right to do what he likes". Thomas Jefferson was aware of the problem 200 years ago. "There can be no freedom of religion without freedom of mind." Eventually my family decided I should have the opportunity to see a different side of the "Moonies", and it was obvious that where I was MOON . . . cult's main man I did not have the chance. The services of "deprogrammer" Galen Kelly were obtained to rescue me. Deprogramming is a very poor description of what the process is, which is simply trying to objectively and unemotionally discuss the cult phenomena. However, it is more difficult to talk to a hard-core cult member than most people. The controversial part of the process started with a very professional kidnapping. When I was grabbed I immediately knew what the intention behind it was, as my father and brother were present. We arrived at a motel and I was told what was to happen. Galen was going to discuss two things with me: 1) the documented evidence on mind control, it's historical precepts and how it works, and, (2) controversy about the Unification Church and government documents and congressional hearings attesting to its corruption. It is important to note that our discussion did not touch upon theological or philosophic grounds, or beliefs in general, in fact it seems more beneficial to discuss psychology rather than religion when investigating cults. Public awareness is the most effective weapon against cults. There are various types of legislation being attempted, but the issues are very complex and volatile. It is straight-forward, and in some ways sad, but the way to thwart the groups is to simply not accept this type of dinner invitation.

What is at issue is our assumptions about the nature of the world and how our understandings are formed by them. It is clear from both the secular and the religious respondents that we hold competing world perspectives. Furthermore, it is the primacy of these assumptions for our understanding which has created the furore. People get upset because they see their basic assumptions being questioned, yet they are not aware that this is what is happen ing. Because of this ongoing debate I wish to take this opportunity to address these more primary issues directly. The responses, both secular and religious, begin from one of two different assumptions — the legalist or the essentialist. In order that we might be clear about these perspectives, let us first look at their manifestation within the religious tradition, and secondly within the secular tradition. In the legalist perspective there is a set of "givens" about God's truth. These are understood either literally, from the Bible; or authoritatively, as revealed in the historical teachings of the church. When a question is raised we seek the answer, either directly from the Bible, or through the interpretations given us by the church. The extreme is proof-texting which dissolves into literalism without regard to the context or the historical circumstances. Not all of my critics do that. But these are distinctions of degree, not kind. In the essentialist perspective the principle of fixity is carried one step further. They affirm that the "givens" are mutable but that the essential message (kerygma) is not. A US squandering big bucks It seems that the arts undergraduate society can't hold a fair and proper election: the last attempt was declared illegal by student court, due to serious irregularities (such as trying to elect four reps rather than the correct three). What a farce the "election" was too: the president of the AUS admitted to pulling down certain candidates' legal election posters; people (as I said) were allowed to vote for four candidates; and five non-arts students cast illegal ballots in an election that ended in a tie for third place. You know, this really isn't too surprising; it looks as though there is a lot of crap stagnating in Buch. 10?. Just add this election to a long list of arts executive accomplishments: • giving away free beer at an unlicensed arts bear garden (which we paid for); • blowing $700 on a punk concert on Feb. 28 that only about SO people attended (which we paid for); » attempting to shove a new (and corrupt) arts constitution through which was released to the students on the day on which it was to be voted on; • allocating $330 for "security" to a dance that had sold two tickets four days prior to the event (tickets were eventually, being* given away because they couldn't be sold ... oh, and the band cost $850); • total so far: more than $3,000 on punk concerts with low (very) attendance (i.e. 50 people); • spending several more hundreds of dollars to fly that plane-with-banner around campus for one hour to announce an expensive "arts week" that was at best "noticealjle;" • spending $380 for an arts executive private dinner at the Harvest Eating House in exclusive North Vancouver (seven-member exec . . . guess whose money it is?); • then saying they "couldn't afford" a charitable donation during "arts week," etc., etc., etc. How come we only have $2,500 of the original arts $9,000 left this year, you ask? You'd have to take a guess, 'cause there are no minutes of executive meetings available, no budget yet submitted this year, no strict office hours, no competence, lots of gall, etc., etc. Fortunately, there will probably be another arts election to elect council reps this month, and we thought that you should bear these facts in mind when (and if) you vote. ...

Once one begins to qualify an unchangeable principle, all such principles are open to qualification. The essentialist seeks to grasp the essence of religion itself. There is a fresh understanding which is faithful to an unchanged essence. Both positions bring to the present something fixed and settled in the distant past. This I reject. The present both informs and transforms us. In other words, the issues of the present point us toward a deeper understanding of the past and our relation to it. This is not to say that the answers we seek lie in the past, but rather, that the past demonstrates to us potential processes of resolution for present difficulties. Likewise, present processes of resolution become part of the repository for the future. Furthermore, through interaction in the present with insights from other disciplines and perspectives our religious understanding is deepened. In the essentialist perspective, it is our behaviour which is the "given" and hence mutable by present culture but our essence, which is unchanging, is our human nature. Unfortunately this leaves us with a human nature incapable of transformation. Furthermore, our attempts to discover the essence of human nature can only be achieved by unnecessarily splitting human understanding into knowledge (accessible through scientific investigation) and wisdom (sought through reference to art, literature, music, religion, and the occult). Here again, both positions bring to the present something fixed and settled in the distant past. Again, I reject this. Human nature (consciousness) is being transformed in the present, as it has been in the past, and as it shall be evermore. Our understanding of this necessitates a unity of knowledge and wisdom. For me, the source of this unity of understanding rests in the legitimate hypothesis that meaning assumes (a la H abermas) a wholeness to reality. Our modern scientific consciousness precludes our experience of reality in this way. We experience reality as fragments of this whole and thereby fail to see their relationships, one with the other. It is the power of these unacknowledged assumptions, and the ways in which they inform our positions, which has been the subject of the debate in these pages. As Socrates tells us: "The unexamined life is not worth living." We hold that the unexamined assumption is not worth holding. Here we stand. We can do no other. George Hermanson campus minister and free-lance heretic W5 apology for racism doesn 9t swing it at all I am writing to you on behalf of the UBC subcommittee of the ad hoc committee against W5. We would like to correct certain misper- ceptions that may have resulted from your report "W5 apologizes for racist report" and editorial in the Tuesday, March 18 issue of The Ubyssey. It is the position of the ad hoc committee that the W5 "apology" of March 16 does not constitute a full apology for the racist content of their report The Campus Giveaway. W5 has admitted that it was wrong in using the figure 100,000 foreign students in Canada, and that this figure included visa students, landed immigrants and students on special permits. This is a positive sign but W5 has still not addressed the major issue — that of racism. The ad hoc committee believes that their program not only distorted certain statistics but that it was also fundamentally racist. Whether or not this program was deliberately racist is not the point. By showing oriental faces whenever the word "foreigner" was used, the effect of the W5 program was to suggest that all Canadians of Asian origin, in particular Chinese-Canadians, are foreigners. By extension, the W5 position was that any non-white, non-Anglo Saxon community in this country is foreign and should not enjoy the same rights and privileges, as so-called "Canadians." In this context, W5's statement that "it was never our intention in doing the program to give offence to any Canadian community: W5 sincerely regrets any offence that may have been unintentionally given to the Chinese-Canadian community," does not constitute an apology. The ad hoc committee's demands remain: 1) a full public apology from CTV for the racist content of their program, and equal time to repair some of the damage that has already been done; 2) the establishment of a mechanism to insure that no broadcaster may air a similar kind of program, directed against any ethnic or national group, in the future; and, 3) the education of the Canadian people on the contribution of Chinese-Canadians, and other ethnic groups, towards the building of this country. W5 has not "fully" apologized. Its offer to give the Chinese community "its fair say" on this issue does not constitute equal time. Therefore, the ad hoc committee against W5 will continue its activities until all of our demands have been met. Tim Stanley UBC subcommittee ad hoc committee against WS Library looking for the right formula Students proved last week that the library is near and dear to their hearts. Organizers of the library survey were flabbergasted and delighted by the number of questionnaires they were able to distribute, particularly to students. In fact, most of the original printing of 7,000 was consumed on Monday, March 10, the first day of the survey, and a second printing of 5,000, produced with the cooperation of UBC's copy and duplicating centre, barely lasted through to Sunday, March 16. The large number of questionnaires completed, now over 5,000, indicates that if was well received and not too long or difficult to complete — someone even suggested it become an annual event. Analysis has begun, but will not be completed until the fall, especially with the unanticipated large response. Completed questionnaires continue to come in. If you still have a blank, it's not too late to join the rush — complete it and turn it in to any branch of the library or send it to the address at the end of each questionnaire. The library appreciates the time and effort spent by so many people in completing the questionnaire. Results will be published in the fall and their influence should be apparent in the library soon thereafter. For further information, contact me at 228-4363.

The road .>*.,. ,%>.■ .-,-..--•- v- >m:'-m% \\the roadl Talking the bus an adventure By STEVE McCLURE To embark upon a course of adventure is a risky business nowadays. Political instability effectively cuts off much of the world from the intrepid adventurer's travel itinerary. Recent events in Afghanistan and Iran make it impossible to take the overland trek from Istanbul to Katmandu. Travel through central America is increasingly dicey as political turmoil builds in the unstable regimes that have until now maintained their grip in the subcontinent. And soon the area around Pittsburgh will no doubt be added to the list of places to avoid as the coming dark age creeps towards Bethlehem Steel, waiting to be born. Thus we who want to see more of the world than the four or five walls around us, feel thwarted as we abandon hopeful plans to see the world. But there is no reason to despair. There lies a whole world out there just waiting to be explored. A completely different dimension of enjoyment and pleasure that too many of us pass over blindly. I refer of course to the wonderful entity known as the B.C. Hydro bus system. Ah yes, the many happy hours that I've spent on the legendary buses of B.C. Hydro will remain forever etched in my mind as some of the most interesting and informative times I've ever had. Some will sniff at this point and mutter dark things about underdeveloped social lives and the like but we true fans of Mother Hydro know better. We are the true believers, the ones who know in our hearts that B.C. Hydro has your best interests at heart, even if it means having to pay ever- increasing fares while service deteriorates steadily. I myself can remember the halycon years of B.C. Electric, Hydro's privately owned precursor. Everything was the same except the name. The same buses, the same routes, and to a large extent, the same old bunch of drivers, many of whom were doubtless driving the burghers of Vancouver up and down and through the town when the city had only one street. Some of the drivers haven't really changed their driving habits since then and late at night you can often hear some of the more senior among them calling out the names of long-forgotten streets in between reminiscences of The Old Days. Usually you meet these characters at about 3 a.m. on the last Granville bus as it follows another Granville bus back to the garage at 41st and Oak. Rather than be impolite one feels compelled to listen to the stories and opinions of these patriarchs of public transit. And frequently ifs worth it as new light is shed upon the history of the city and the state of the world at large. The danger in doing this is that you may well become part of that special breed that have to sit right up at the front and harass the driver endlessly with stupid questions about bus timetables and how many axles the new models have. These people are a serious nuisance and should not be dismissed as idle cranks. They can spoil an otherwise enjoyable bus ride. The serious busman or buswoman does not let such distractions bother him or her. Adequately provisioned and in a keen frame of mind buspeople are well equipped to deal with the harsh realities of hydro travel. One should first know where one is going. Or better still, you can let the transit system take you where it will. By increasing the random element in your personal travel equation you will add to the pleasure of your trip. One resourceful tinned fruit collectors' club in Burnaby does just this and has not been heard from for several years. So stock up before you set out. Take a map and some bedding (you try sleeping on those cold benches at the Kootenay loop) as well as all thle food you can possibly carry on your back since the serious busperson is well aware of the near impossibility of finding anything edible while the bus is moving. Believe me, ifs been tried, but with sad results. One group of enterprising buspeople developed an elaborate system of hand off s out by the the Burger King on the south Delta route. Tragedy ensued however when a side of fries were mistaken for a terrorisf s projectile and the whole Delta police force maced the bus and its occupants. Once ready, the busperson should think of the first obstacle that he or she will have to deal with, namely the fare collection box. Volumes have been written on how to circumvent this most pernicious form of authority, but all the wisdom of the experts can be summed up in the phrase "spin your change and move your ass." The driver must be made to be thoroughly confused as to exactly how much money one has deposited in the fare box. And by displaying a firm and quiet confidence the seasoned busperson can easily parry the stinging accusations of ripping off the transit system that the driver may hurl at him or her. Once past this hurdle you may want to recline in one of the comfortable cattle stalls so thoroughly provided by the faceless bureaucrats at B.C. Hydro. Rather than bring your own reading matter it is advisable instead to peruse the pages of the Buzzer, the paper that predicted the Chicago fire 80 years after it happened. Or so I have been led to believe by one of the senior editors at that august publication, an old- style European gentleman who was accidentally shipped to Canada with a cargo of fla from his native Tyrolia. Of course whether you read the Buzzer depends in large part on which route you have chosen. Those who elect to travel the scenic Kingsway route will no doubt prefer to stare vacantly out the window at the used- car lots and burger joints that litter this surreal landscape. More boring routes such as 41st deserve little attention and should be used only if you have to go from one scenic district to another. My personal favorite among the many splendiferous bus routes offered by B.C. Hydro is the justly famous Spanish Banks run; Why this route exists is a mystery. No one ever uses it except Panamanian tourists and the relatives of bus drivers. In summer one an always find the lucky stiff who gets this plum of routes stretched out on the beach attended by a coterie of hydro groupies and other fauning admirers. A far cry from the parallel hell that is the Broadway bus at rush hour. A pressing mass of human flesh and the cries if infants, maniacs, and Buzzer fans makes this run resemble nothing so much as he last circle of hell. Only for the truly adventurous. Don't worry about transfers. The experienced busperson can easily negotiate this minor obstacle by convincing the driver he is a foreign diplomat on a mission of mercy or a high government official. Mailmen have been getting away with this one for years. Complaints about bus travel are many and varied. Some dislike the constant stopping and starting while others groan about the infrequent and irregular service that those in outlying areas especially are well acquainted with. The loyal busperson, who has probably spent half of his or her life on the buses, is not one to gripe though, and remains calm in the firm conviction that the public transit system of which he or she comprises the organic component is the best this side of Spuzzum. Onther* Neal, Jack By STEVE McCLURE Heart Beat is like a long home movie. If you know who the people in the movie are and why they are doing the things they do, then it's all great fun as you watch familiar faces ham it up in front of the camera. If, on the other hand, you haven't read the works of Jack Kerouac and don't have the foggiest notion of who Dean Moriarty is, then you might be alternately amused and mystified by the antics of the two beat generation heroes as they make their way through the wonderful world of the 1950's. The Whitmanesque character of Jack Kerouac is played by John Heard in a disinterested and aloof manner that suggests a certain lack of interest in the proceedings on his part. Heart Beat Directed by John Byrum Capitol 6 Heard acts in a wooden and forced manner and his performance gives us little insight into the complex character of Kerouac. We see a side of Kerouac that is lonely and dispossessed, not the impulsive and reckless adventurer that we usually associate with the author of On the Road. Instead we are treated to visions of Kerouac and cohort Neal Cassady at home as they try to figure out their unique menage a trois with Cassady's wife Carolyn. They regret their lost youth and attempt to remain free and mobile in a suburban America that is about as far from the open road as possible. Sissy Spacek, as Carolyn, is the star of Heart Beat since the story is based upon her autobiography. The story concentrates on the domestic arrangements the three attempt BUSPERSON . . . thinks before plunging in Leave ho By DOUG J.

Great Expeditions is the brainchild of two Vancouver born-and-bred globetrotters, Brodie Harrington and Lawrence Buser. Each of them has travelled extensively throughout some of the more exotic regions of the world, and any particular issue might find one of them exploring a live volcano in Guatemala, or diving off the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Page Friday 2 THE UBYSSEY Friday, March 21, 1980 \\the road\\ ii; :»■ ad with , Carolyn to establish and these scenes are generally well done. It is the repetition of these domestic interludes that slows the film down. Unless you know about the characters beforehand ifs difficult to understand what all the fuss is about, because Cassady and Kerouac seem so, well, normal. They carry on in an interesting way, occasionally making great pronouncements about Art and how the novel's going but we are left in the dark about their years on the road and all the experiences that led a person such as Kerouac to pursue his artistic goal so singlemindedly. Director John Byrum choses a low key style for this film and while perhaps a valid choice the slow pacing makes Heart Beat rather tedious at times. Even the scenes in the jazz clubs seem contrived and forced. The world of bebop and beats is seen in cold retrospect, from the vantage point of suburbia where calm and boredom reign supreme. Kerouac and Cassady are two tired and burned out men who've exhausted their bodies and their imaginations. There is little left of their former selves and you begin to wonder why Byrum focuses on this period instead of on the glory days immediately after the war when everything seemed free for the taking. Byrum has elected to film a careful character study of three people as they reluctantly approach middle age. This is understandable since the film is based on Carolyn's autobiography, but unfortunately Heart Beat fails for the most part even on this level and what we are left with is a miidly interesting period piece. If you like Kerouac, you'll probably enjoy Heart Beat, but don't expect too much. Space travel strange By DANIEL MOON Mother's still raving about her honeymoon in Niagara Falls. High school friends praise the tranquility of Tierra del Fuego and plan ahead for a junket in Katmandu. In today's get up and go society it seems like everyone is packing up their tents for an exotic and usually expensive holiday. If you're tired of hearing about everybody else's wonderful trip and wishing you could explore unspoiled terrain then Cosmos Travel has just the ticket. With the recent deregulation in fare schedules Cosmos now offers students cut rate trips that are literally out of this world. The Rigel III package is the lowest priced tour in the Student Summer 1980 lineup. Breakfast is included in the three week holiday that features a view apartment, guided excursions into the steaming local jungles and even pills to counteract the sudden changes in air pressure.

Friday, March 21, 1980 THE UBYSSEY Page Friday 3 Imusicl Orchestra vs. choir in Bach By KERRY REGIER Bach's Mass in B Minor, performed last weekend by the Cantata Singers, contained some delights, but was marred by some difficulties which could have been avoided. One of the delights was the choral singing. The Vancouver Cantata Singers are an amateur choir led by James Fankhauser, and have a fine local reputation which their clear diction and good ensemble maintained, despite some small ensemble problems caused by too fast pacing in some of the faster sections. The soloists were illustrations of extremes, from Bruce Pullan's superbly controlled tenor to alto Phyllis Mailing, who should have been taking lessons from the choral altos. It was the orchestra that gave the biggest disappointment. Only the single bass player seemed to enjoy his work; the rest might as well have been postal clerks for all their enthusiam. That this annoyed conductor Fankhauser was evident in his eloquent and intense left-hand gestures demanding attention from the orchestra, which were studir ously ignored by the latter. These are principally members of the Vancouver Symphony, with a few UBC professors and freelancers added, all professionals. The choir was all amateur, and yet it was resplendent with a vitality and strength which the highly paid orchestra utterly failed to display. This is inexcusable. More rehearsal time would have helped technical flaws like wrong notes, bad intonation, and so on, but the complete lack of interest which was evident on the face of nearly every instrumentalist cannot be lightly passed over. A clarinetist friend said to me Monday night (in a different context, but still applicable) that he must have played Beethoven's Seventh Symphony a thousand times in his life, but he always approaches it freshly, as if it was the first time he had seen it. So he is never bored by the music. The VSO musicians, by contrast, played as though it were just another dull job to get over with, and then go home to watch Johnny Carson. The Cantata Singers have given very successful concerts in the past with the amateur Vancouver Philharmonic. Perhaps they would do well to return to them. Dylan makes commitment to Jesus music By GLEN DOWNIE It was a slow train coming, but Dylan has found Jesus. And here in Canada Bruce Cockburn is convinced that joy will find a way, and has made a Christian morality explicit in his own folk-rooted, jazz-tinged music. A few years ago, some would have argued that rock and the Rock of Ages were poles apart. But now some highly-respected artists are suggesting otherwise, and their music is inviting audiences to make a similar reconsideration. Quite apart from the critical judgement the listener will make when he examines the lyrics closely, the phenomenon itself needs to be put in some perspective before its significance can be fully appreciated. For many fans of contemporary music, such out-front Christian commitment comes as a shock. Politics, science and existential philosophy have contributed to a wide-spread agnosticism among the young, and to many, a religiously-based moral code is an archaic oddity. Furthermore, having regarded music primarily as entertainment, they have neither expected or demanded a statement. of faith from musicians. Pop music, played by the young to the young, has generally reflected a narrow self-interest in its themes. Love No time for lunchbreaks among stars From PF 3 the state of the universe. They're too busy going places. Life as we know it, they say, is short so make the most of it. So don't expect to relax or even sleep on this holiday where lunchbreaks are measured in milliseconds. Cosmos Travel can accomodate any budget and they specialize in the special needs of distraught students. Leave Victoria and Seattle to the unimaginative and the unadventurous and let Cosmos beam you out this summer on the holiday of a lifetime. songs of one type or another comprise the bulk of mainstream pop, with the occasional song of social commentary aimed at such large and easy targets as war, politics and the materialistic values of the older generation. Pop has lacked the will or ability to express any philosophy or faith other than a faith in the music itself, and its level or moral or social awareness has been frequently parodied by the motto: Peace, Love and Dope. Harder-edged rock, as practiced by The Who and The Rolling Stones, has expressed a more biting social criticism. But even here, despite frequent flashes of wit and insight, the most potent attacks were not in the lyrics but in the music itself, and in the performing style. Since the swivelling hips of Elvis Presley first shocked and offended parents, rockers have conveyed a virtually indiscriminant opposition to current social morality through their stage manner. And punk, which combined savagery of lyric and sound with the dog-collar approach in fashion, is simply updating that tradition. But long before punk, or even rock, was born, folk was the music of social criticism. And it is out of the folk tradition that both Dylan and Cockburn come. They bring with them a folk music sense of priorities, which values the sung word above theatrics and excessive volume as a means of making a musical statement. The folk movement has always been identified as left of center in political terms. But few folk artists become widely heard in the mainstream of popular music, and fewer still have ever identified religion as the source of their social morality. In doing so, at the risk of losing a portion of their audience, Dylan and Cockburn have demonstrated an honesty and commitment that sets them apart from most other musicians. They are also distinct from those few musicians and public figures who have made their religious faith public. For their's is not the emotional Bible- belt Christianity of country and western music. Nor is it the politically prudent righteousness of Jimmy Carter. The dubious intellectual respectability of these other forms of faith may well cast a shadow over the Dylan-Cockburn conversions in the minds of some fans and critics, but the strength and vigor of recent music by both men has allayed the suspicion of at least a good percentage of their record-buying and concert-going public. If the quality of the music continues to increase, the newfound faith may well come to be seen as the committed expression of two socially-concerned artists, and as the outgrowth of many years of sincere and careful searching. By comparison, the often bally- hooed relevance of many rock and punk bands may begin to appear on the level once attributed to MAD magazine and Salinger's Catcher in the Rye — as a young person's game of 'spot the phoney' in the adult world. Without denigrating the importance of this stage in the development of a personal morality, the task of suggesting an alternative, a different philosophical model, requires a different level of maturity. It is one that most pop musicians have not and will not trouble themselves to achieve. Some will question, with some justification perhaps, whether this is part of a musician's responsibili ty. Other more cynical types will simply be content as long as there is money to be made in acting out their own, and their audience's, inarticulate anger at society. What the rock press has to ofen ignored is that the majority of pop music is pitched at or below the intellectual and philosophical level of its audience. It is only the rare artists — Dylan and Cockburn are certainly two — who challenge their audiences to catch up to them in their thinking, rather than merely supplying what their fans want. singer, and takes attendance at a particular concert, or admiration for a particular artist as sufficient demonstration of social concern. No artist can or should do for his audience what those individuals can and should do for themselves. And, make no mistake, the conversions of Dylan and Cockburn are as much motivated by the goal of personal, as social, salvation. But with a serf-effacement rare in the music business, these serious and talented poet-singers are pointing But the expectations audiences have of even a rare artist must be tempered with realism. Dylan's career, in particular, has testified to the fact that no artist can be the social conscience for his generation. It is his role only to express his own conscience, and perhaps in so doing to prick the consciences of others. But neither Dylan or any other artist can be expected to provide answers, solve social problems, or singlehandely transform the ideals sung about into social realities. It is a lazy audience that shifts the moral burden onto the beyond their own music to the source of their strength and energy, and they are inviting their audiences to look beyond the music too. For the music-lover who follows the rock star in search of spiritual sustenance can all-too-often burn out as the stars themselves do — overstimulated and undernourished. There are sources of moral and spiritual renewal even deeper and richer than music. By rooting social conscience in a religious commitment, Dylan and Cockburn have demonstrated that they have found one such source. Page Friday 4 THE UBYSSEY Friday, March 21,1980 \\the road\\ Boy, have we got a deal for you By JERRY SWANSON Jack was the one that inspired me. Not Kerouac, but a guy who picked me up on the Yellowhead going toward Edmonton in a rundown Volkswagen. It was a functional car. No back seat, no heat, no radio. I started singing Everybody's Talkin' to keep my mind off the wind and rain coming up through the floor. Singing aloud is a habit you pick up hitching that's hard to break. "Tom Northcott," muttered the driver. "That asshole." It turned out Jack had once been a session guitarist and had also spent some time touring with Northcott in some forgotten age. It was while touring he had gotten into dealing on the road. Those were the days, he told me, when dealers worked for their profit. Nowadays it's mules, telephones and teletypes. No one leaves home or strays too far from their electronic umbilical cord. Information and instructions come in and go out and all the real dealing is done by someone else. What happened to Jack was he was told if he took a load of chemical bliss to the next stop on the tour, he could make a substantial return for his trouble. It worked so well he did it again. After three trips as a mule he quit the tour and went at it full time. He described how he would go to the airline ticket counter and buy $2,000 or $3,000 worth of tickets at the beginning of the month. At the end of the month he would cash in the ones he hadn't used and start over again. "In six months I made over a quarter of a million," he said. I pointed out to him the condition of his car and the fact he'd borrowed money from me for a cup of coffee. "Hell, I said I made a quarter of a million, not that I kept it. I got off the plane one day after the six months and had just enough to take a bus back home. I guess there's a lot of people who owe me a lot of money, wherever they are. scoutmasters and deranged drug runners. The economic principle was the simplest and oldest of them all. Buy low, then take the merchandise to a place where you can sell high. And I already had a handle on such a scam. The first stop was Vancouver where I made some contacts, parked the car in front of a friend's house and took passage on a ferry to the Queen Charlottes. I was three months early for the season, but I knew a man to whom the cycles of nature meant nothing. With hfm mushrooms were def- ^0*°' "The main thing was doing it, not getting rich. I always wondered if you went into a bar and ordered drinks for the house whether everyone would stand up and cheer just like in the westerns." "Do they?" I asked. "They do," Jack said. Thus it was I embarked on my own journey through drug darkness simply out of mistrust of Jack. I didn't believe people would raise themselves out of drunken ennui to cheer a benefactor and I wanted to find out. I wasn't ambitious enough to try the aerial route so I did the next best thing. In Edmonton I sold the several white cards of blotter LSD I had secreted on my person. Rather than just hitch back to Vancouver to live off my ill-gotten gains for a while, I invested in the famous smuggler's 'invisible' car: a 1967 Chevrolet Bel Air station wagon, favored by suburban families. initely a year-round occupation. I found him in a sort of root cellar under a fishing lodge in Sandspit, coffins piled up around him. In the coffins were thousands of B.C.'s famous psilocybin mushrooms growing, growing. Twenty-eight dollars an ounce in Sandspit, $250 an ounce in Montreal. Soon I was back in Vancouver, planning my itinerary. First up to the Peace River area with some herbal leaf, mostly just to give me something to smoke on the road. Then some more LSD to Edmonton and Regina. Finally to Montreal and start a clean trip back to several creditors who would be waiting with baited breath and baseball bats for news of my adventures. I soon found out why Jack had bought tickets for everywhere without specific plans. Flexibility is the key. It was a hitcher in Hope who told me if I wanted to take grass in to the northern Interior, I would be a fool not to take advantage of the prices in the East Kootenay. He was right. And in the Peace River area I was told about an LSD manufacturer in Prince Rupert who could do something about my dwindling supplies which would fill my orders in Edmonton but leave Regina dry. As well as making several husky Saskatchewan boys unhappy. There are very few ways to get to Montreal without going through Saskatchewan and almost all of them involve international borders. Bad news. So it was back to Prince Rupert. Of course, I let it slip to the kitchen chemist (actually he worked out of the back room of a gas station) what the whole trip was headed for. He reached forward and gripped my arm. "Only two short hours away by ferry I can find you enough mushrooms to fill that goddamn junkheap to the gunwhales and triple your profit," he hissed. With some misgivings, I took on a partner. I shouldn't have worried. These were already dried, capped and ready to go where the spare tire usually does. But we had run into a cash flow problem. Despite the potential riches we had to our respective names, we were close to being broke. We left my own mushrooms to be capped and to provide security on the future transaction. I didn't dare go back to Vancouver so it was another East Kootenay to Peace River run, with a side trip to Edmonton to get rid of as much LSD as possible. The delay was actually a stroke of luck. By the time we got back to Rupert, preparation for the new season was already under way and the price of succulent hallucinogenic fungi was dropping fast. It would soon drop in Montreal as well. It was time to get on the road in our musty smelling wagon and move fast. Things were finally looking up when we hit Saskatchewan. We had just made the residents of Regina ecstatically happy for an average of nine hours each and we felt it was time for a day or two off. Our happy cruise around town lasted about 40 minutes before the Bel Air gave out a scream like a skag freak in the twentieth hour of cold turkey and spilled most of its transmission all over the legislative buildings parking lot. Some very nice fellows in bright red jackets helped us push the pig into a parking space and I still think it was my losing control of my bowels that hid the overpowering smell of moldering mushrooms. While we were negotiating with our prairie friends for a hideous '55 Ford pickup, one of them slyly mentioned the unusually low prices for local white lightning: 85 per cent alcohol at $5 a quart, $3 in bulk. I might have resisted but my Prince Rupert partner had become obsessed. "Do you know what I can get for that in the logging camps?" he hissed. Never listen to a snake, or even a man that sounds like one. However, as he pointed out, with have taken place if it weren't for the all-too-easy availability of hallucinogens in the back, under the seat, on the dashboard and constantly soaking through my skin under my fingernails. My Prince Rupert partner wasn't much better. If he had been he probably would have talked me out of stopping in Toronto to see if the cocaine market was soft enough to make it worthwhile to score some for the seller's market on the west coast. The real idiocy of it is I don't know anyone in Toronto, save some half-forgotten relatives. Neither did my partner. Yet fortune was still smiling on us. To my somehwat embarrassed surprise, my 17-year-old cousin was well in the know. After she'd spent a while bitching about the heat trying to close down the massage parlor she owned on Yonge Street Strip, she told us, sure, she could get us all the snow we wanted. Certainly more than we could come close to affording. At last we were drawing close to the goal, even if we had about enough money for one greasy cheeseburger each. After a little over three months, the ease with which we distributed our bit of B.C. among the Quebecois was an anticlimax. We had barely begun to sample a bit of Montreal's nightlife, no more than a few week's worth, when my Prince Rupert partner remembered. "For fuck's sake, wake up," he screamed in my ear one morning a pickup we could easily carry everything. If we hurried, we could make it out to Montreal and be back before most of the men Were out of the camps. To our stock of fungi we added several cases of closely- packed mason jars. It was somewhere around this time that I realized I was undergoing a transformation. I was turning into a greasy cheeseburger. This metamorphosis perhaps wouldn't NIGHTMARE . . . eight hours in Boondocks, Ont. bus depot when such an act was utterly evil. "The camps will be closing up in five daysl" We still had about 150 quarts of white lightning to get rid of. There was only one way to handle the situation. As we drove nonstop at the pickup's steady 55 mph pace, my cousin's Toronto cocaine steadily dwindled. We made it to Vancouver just in time to put my partner on a plane north. The last of our ready cash went on 200 lbs. worth of excess baggage marked Glass: Fragile. A month or so later I received about enough money from Prince Rupert to ensure the continuing health of my kneecaps and elbows. It was good news since my supply of cocaine bribes had run out. The pickup brought just enough money to buy a pound of East Kootenay homegrown. As I smoked it I considered the ultimate satisfaction of knowing whether they really do stand up and cheer when you order a round for the house. Hell, in Montreal, they'll dance for hours. Friday, March 21, 1980 THE UBYSSEY Page Friday 5 xmusicx Highs and lows with VSO By KERRY REGIER Pinches Zukerman conducted the Vancouver Symphony on Monday night in an enjoyable, but seriously flawed concert. Zukerman is a violinist, not a conductor, and he should spend less time being a trendy young leader of orchestras, and more time playing his violin. As a violinist he is lively, energetic, and always fresh and warm. As a conductor he has little technical expertise, and simply cannot balance an orchestra to highlight the fine details that make the difference between a decent conductor, like Akiyama, and a great conductor like Colin Davis. Monday's program began with a Vivaldi violin concerto, which should have been very good, but as Zukerman both conducted and played the violin solo, he did not have adequate control over the relatively large body of strings in the concerto, and the ensemble playing of the VSO suffered enormously. By contrast, Zukerman's playful style and the fact that he is well liked personally by most of the orchestra did lend the performance a life and sparkle which VSO baroque performances usually lack. This was followed by Dvorak's Wind Serenade, a small work for woodwinds, cello, and bass. It really had no place in a symphony concert; why should sixty musicians be kept standing in the wings while a few woodwind players tootle away on a bit of music that isn't really intrinsically interesting? It did receive a good performance though, with all players giving a good ensemble and smooth, even tone, with Zukerman encountering few problems with this simple work. The second half of the program was the Beethoven Fourth Symphony. Here is a work that depends for success on a light and delicate humour; Zukerman failed in this. ZUKERMAN . . • should leave baton at home His approach was too muscular, in the manner of the massive Third and Fifth Symphonies, an approach entirely inappropriate to this much gentler work. This heavy approach led to an obscuring of all the delightful little details of inner orchestration that are the foundation of this symphony. The result was an interesting performance, good tunes and so on, but hardly memorable. Zukerman, as I said, is a violinist and not a conductor. Too many musicians are lured by the attractions of fame to put aside their instruments and conduct instead. Rostropovich, Fischer-Dieskau, and a few others come to mind. With some, like Fischer-Dieskau, it is excusable; his voice is beginning to age, and he has to make a living. Zukerman has no excuse. He is a mediocre conductor, of which there are hundreds about; but he is a tremendous violinist, and I hope that next time he visits this city, it is as a violinist. Cockburn finds spirituality By GLEN DOWNIE Bruce Cockburn appeared in concert at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre last Friday night, and proved to an enthusiastic crowd that commitment to Christ and commitment to good music need not be mutually exclusive. Those who may have feared a sermon between every song, or ushers asking 'Have you been saved?' before showing them their seats, soon found themselves put at ease. Cockburn's personal manner is as gentle and friendly as it has always been, and he wasn't about to do a Billy Graham routing on anyone. Backed by a fine trio of bass, violin and percussion, Cockburn let his music demonstrate the strength of his inspiration. And demonstrate it did. The concert opened with one of Cockburn's polished guitar instrumental, which confirmed his reputation as one of the finest folk guitarists in North America. Then, with his trio behind him, he launched into a succession of recent songs, including several from his latest album. Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws, and others that have yet to be recorded. Lyrically, they expressed a deep sensitivity to the spirit-crushing tensions of modern urban life. The city, says Cockburn, can be a "concrete vortex" that sucks in all our best energies and gives us back little more than loneliness and paranoia. Like a scene from The Warriors, one verse described how the city after dark "seems to break down into tribes"; another gave us a vivid image of "black kids working out kung-fu moves", convinced that "if you don't want to be the horse's hoofprints, you've got to be the hooves". Human misery is everywhere around us, Cockburn shows us, and only those who turn away can avoid seeing it and hearing it. "You hear that sound, it's like hammers, only small?" he asks in the song Incandescent Blue. "It's what the people's heads say when they beat them against the wall." With his excellent instrumental resources, Cockburn was also able to reflect the harsh music of the city. The clanging guitar strings, crashing drums and symbols and the dark brooding bass matched the discord out of which we try to create a sense of harmony. Most effective of all, though, was the violin which, like a buffeted human soul, alternately screamed in frenzy and whimpered in pain. But what consistently rescued Cockburn's vision from becoming one of total despair was his very determined and very joyful hope. Although each new headline convinces him that we are "watching the fraying rope get closer to breaking", Cockburn affirms that "joy will find a way". And here again, Cockburn's faith shows itself to be no naive or simplistic fundamentalism. He offers no glib answers and hides in none of the born-again cliches. "I am a loner," he says in one of his newest songs, "with a loner's point of view", and that point of view doesn't allow him to slip comfortably into any ready- made doctrine. The Christian faith that infuses each song is as intensely personal one, one that faces directly the real conflicts of values that rock the world daily. The song "I'm a Loner" brings together for Cockburn visions of Teheran and the woman he loves, and the disturbing and the uplifting are recognized as part of the same anguished reality in which we live. Here is one Christian who is not offering himself the simple consolations of personal piety. And the audience last Friday obviously recognized that integrity, and respected Cockburn for it. Through a very full evening, they listened to his musical statement of faith; and they responded warmly to it, bringing him back for two encores before they were ready to leave. And he, for his part gave himself without forcing anything on anyone. As he admitted in one of his encores No Footprints: "Through these channels — words — I want to touch you/Touch you deep down where you live/Not for power, but because I love you". The audience in the Queen E. that night wanted him to do just that — and Bruce Cockburn did. PANGO-PANGO (UNS) - Rioting erupted in the streets of this tiny island kingdom yesterday. Sources report that the incumbemt wimp led his ship unto the rocks, and in the mutiny and violence that followed it was every scribe for himself. After much valiant struggle and many screamed curses hurled by all sides, the smoke cleared. Production of the principal product of this wimpdom, used-to-be (a rare carcinogen and emetic), continued with only minor interruptions and a vile mess to clean up afterwards.

On Monday, April 14th, over 3,000 members of the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences will descend from chauffeur-driven limousines and float into the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the Los Angeles Music Centre to honour the supposed best of the year 1979. Over the years, the Oscar has become the most coveted award in the film entertainment industry. A win in one of the major categories can mean additional millions at the box-office. For that reason, the major studios spend millions promoting their films and sometimes go as far as determining the category a performer will be nominated in. In categories where a performer's position is questionable, promotions can make a big difference. In 1977, it happened with Vanessa Redgrave for the movie Julia, 20th Century Fox went out of its way to ensure that Redgrave would capture the best supporting nomination and not the best actress nomination so as to ensure that she would not be competing with Jane Fonda for the same film. It's happened again this year with the Meryl Streep nomination for Kramer vs. Kramer. Streep was an obvious female leading performer in Kramer yet she has been nominated in the supporting category. There is no doubt that will mean a certain win for Streep. If she had been nominated in the best actress category, it would have meant a fierce battle with Sally Field for Norma Rae. Streep will win and co-star Jane Alexander (a more deserving contender for Kramer vs. Kramer considering the category) will lose. This year, Kramer vs. Kramer seems to have it made in the Best Picture category. So far, the film has captured the New York Circle of Critics Award, the Los Angeles Circle of Critics Award and the Golden Globe Award. Kramer does not deserve to win, considering that it is competing with the monumental Apocalypse Now. A no-win for Apocalypse Now seems to more against its director than for the picture itself. Coppola is not very well regarded these days and for that insane reason alone, Apocalypse Now will suffer. But there is no doubt that Apocalypse Now is the film that has the best chance for knocking Kramer vs. Kramer from its high pedestal. Chances are slim for All That Jazz, Breaking Away and Norma Rae. The reaction to All That Jazz has been mixed at best. Instead of Kramer vs. Kramer, I would like to see Breaking Away win if Apocalypse Now doesn't make it. But the momentum is not with Breaking Away. Norma Rae can be struck from the list. There are three notable absentees from the best picture nominations. The most notable is Woody Allen's Manhattan, proclaimed as a masterpiece by Time Magazine, among others. The oversight is appalling. The second film is Milos Foreman's Hair, a better musical than All That Jazz; a true celebration that was ignored. Even Hal Ashby's Being There would have sufficed. It's been a long time since I've seen an essentially one- joke storyline carried off so brilliantly. Alas, one can only hope for the things that might have been and despair. Best Picture of the Year: Prediction: Kramer vs. Kramer. Preference: Apocalypse Now. There is little competition for the Best Actor award. Dustin Hoffman seems to be the winner for Kramer vs. Kramer. Peter Sellers gave a better quality performance in Being There but it is unlikely that Sellers will win his second nomination for Best Actor. Al Pacino (. . . And Justice for All) will lose his fifth nomination; so will Roy Scheider for All That Jazz, his second nomination and first in this category; and Jack Lemmon for The China Syndrome. Lemmon won in 1973 for Save The Tiger; he has been nominated five times before. The most glaring oversight from the best actor category is Martin Sheen for Apocalypse Now. Sheen is the most deserving of all from this list. A shame. Best Performance by an actor in a Leading Role: Prediction: Dustin Hoffman (Kramer vs. Kramer) Preference: Peter Sellers (Being There). Sally Field (Norma Rae) has the best actress award all wrapped up. She has walked off with awards from Cannes, New York, Los Angeles and the Foreign Press Association (Golden Globe). Jill Clayburgh, nominated this year for Starting Over, should have won last year for An Unmarried Woman. This year, a nomination for Luna would have been a better choice. No votes for Jane Fonda (The China Syndrome), Marsha Mason (Chapter Two) and Bette Midler (The Rose). Best performance by an actress in a leading role: Prediction: Sally Field (Norma Rae). Preference: Sally Field (Norma Rae). The supporting actor award is hard to predict.' Melvyn Douglas (Being There) and Robert Duvall (Apocalypse Now) seem to be in the forefront. Justin Henry deserves an award for his role in Kramer vs. Kramer. Mickey Rooney might win, as this is his fourth nomination, but I doubt it. Frederic Forrest (The Rose) will not win. Ignored: Paul Dooley for Breaking Away. Best performance by an actor in a supporting role: Prediction: Melvyn Douglas (Being There) or Robert Duvall (Apocalypse Now). Preference: Justin Henry (Kramer vs. Kramer) ;r Melvyn Douglas (Being There! The best supporting actress category is the easiest to call. Meryl Streep might as well start rehearsing her acceptance speech. Barbara Barrie (Breaking Away), Candice Bergen (Starting Over) and Mariel Hemingway (Manhattan) will be surprises at best. Most sadly of all, Jane Alexander will not win the award she deserves. Best performance by an actress by an actress in a" supporting role: Prediction: Meryl Streep (Kramer vs. Kramer). Perference: Jane Alexander (Kramer vs. Kramer). I predict a win for Steve Tesich for his extraordinary Breaking Away script over Robert Alan Arthur and Bob Fosse, All That Jazz; Valerie Curtin and Barry Levinson, . . . And Justice For All; Mike Gray, T.S. Cook and James Bridges, The China Syndrome. My preference is Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman for their witty Manhattan script. The category is: Best Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen. The competition for the Best Screenplay Based on Another Medium is between John Milius and Francis Coppola (Apocalypse Now) and Robert Benton (Kramer vs. Kramer). I give the former contenders the edge over Benton; Francis Veber, Edouard Molinaro, Marcello Danon and Jean Poiret (La All That Jazz just razzamatazz \\\\. Apocalypse Now: Working against the tide Cage Aux Folles); Allan Burns (A Little Romance); and Irving Ravetch and Harriet Frank, Jr. (Norma Rae). Other predictions and preferences: Best Foreign Language Film of the Year: The Tin Drum (Federal Republic of Germany). Shared the Golden Palm with Apocalypse Now at Cannes. Best Achievement in Cinematography: Apocalypse Now, Vittorio Storaro. Best Achievement in Costume Design: Albert Wolsky (All That Jazz). Best Achievement in Art Direction: Apocalypse Now, Dean Tavoularis and Angelo Graham (Art Direction); George R. Nelson (Set Decoration). Best Achievement in Documentary Films: Best Boy (Ira Wohl, producer). Short Subjects: Paul Robeson: Tribute to an Artist (Janus Films, Inc.). Best Achievement in film editing: Richard Marks, Walter Murch, Gerald B. Greenberg and Lisa Fruchtman (Apocalypse Now). Could be anybody's bag. Best Original Score: Star Trek- The Motion Picture, Jerry Goldsmith. Best Original Score and Its Adaptation (Or Best Adaptation Score): All That Jazz, adaptation score by Ralph Burns. Best Original Song: The Rainbow Connection (The Muppet Movie), music and lyrics by Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher. Best Achievement in Sound: Walter Murch, Mark Berger, Richard Beggs and Nat Boxer (Apocalypse Now). Best Achievement in Visual Effects: Alien or Star Trek — The Motion Picture. If Apocalypse Now loses Best Picture, Coppola might find himself with a Best Director award. The punches will come from Robert Benton who has already won the Director's Guild Award for Kramer vs. Kramer. I have doubts about Bob Fosse's chances (All That Jazz); Peter Yates (Breaking Away); and Edouard Molinaro (La Cage Aux Folles). Woody Allen (Manhattan) and Hal Ashby (Being There), not to mention Milos Forman (Hair), were ignored. The following accolades have already been announced for: Alec Guiness — honorary award; Ray Stark — Irving Thalberg award; Alan Spelt — Sound Effects Editor (for The Black Stallion); Robert Benjamin (deceased) — Jean Her- sholt Humanitarian award; Hal Elias (Academy tresurer) — special Oscar. Dustin Hoffman will be present this time at the Awards ceremony. In the past, Hoffman has boycotted the Academy Awards because he feels it's not right for actors to compete with each other for diverse performances. On the recent Gold Globe awards telecast, Hoffman said awards are "silly". You can bet your bottom dollar that he will personally accept the award for Best Actor this year, make the same speech and get applause from the audience. It's always risky business to predict the Academy Awards. Tht unforseen Annie Hall sweep in 1978 is a case in point. This year it might be Kramer vs. Kramer. Or maybe Apocalypse Now. Or, All That Jazz Friday, March 21, 1980 THE UBYSSEY Page Friday 7 \\drama\\ Janus loses the only game in town By VERNE McDONALD The Only Game In Town is a simple play: heroes and villains, winners and losers. The heroes are Joe and Fran, compulsive gambling piano player and Las Vegas chorus girl, searching for love. The villain is Lockwood, ruthless immoral businessman and evil stereotype. He's a winner just as surely as Joe and Fran are losers. The Only Game In Town directed by Mark Acheson Janus Theatre Another villain is Frank D. Gilroy, playwright without imagination. The above rather uninteresting romantic triangle is so fragile an excuse for a plot it doesn't even last past intermission and the play ends up relying on the dubious idea that Joe and Fran are interesting all by themselves. The heroes are David Ackridge as Joe and Lisa Troniak as Fran. Playing off each other with the seeming ease that only comes with hard work, they work their thin material into entertaining comedy. Other heroes are Jack Crowston as Lockwood, also doing an excellent job on a poorly thought-out part, and especially Mark Acheson, the director. Acheson, recognizing that the play can only fail as drama, has concentrated on the slightly black humor. The superficiality of the characters and plot is ignored and made to become the framework it should be in this comedy of manners. Others have failed at this apparently simple task. Warren Beatty and Elizabeth Taylor, back in their million dollar minimum days, played The Only Game In Town and managed to drain away all but a vestige of its humor.

The CX210 makes no compromises in this area thanks to a super-stable FG servo transort motor that keeps wow and flutter to a minimum from the beginning to the end of every reel. You'll get optimum performance with a wide range of tapes with independent bias and EQ selectors that precisely match the decks record/playback characteristics to those of the tape used.
