HONGKONG — On the streets women's breasts leap from the covers of countless soft porn magazines at hawker's newstands, competing with Time magazine and the Asian Wall Street Journal. ri -J- a In the classified telephone directory there are 22 pages of prostitution ads under the escort heading, and 13 pages of massage ads. One agency is called "Young Girl Escorts" while another promises "Asian and Western young girls." It is not surprising that it took a steering group of the Hongkong Council of Women several years of lobbying government and private groups before they had enough money to establish a resource centre for women's development. "It took us a long time to get recognition for a need," says Fanny Cheung at the official opening Jan. 25 of Hongkong's first women's centre. Cheung chairs the women's centre committee and teaches psychology at Hongkong's Chinese University. But some funding has come through — from the Hongkong government, which also arranged the location, from the American Women's Association, from a German organization called Bread for the World and from others. Cheung says Hongkong has a high standard of living compared with other Asian cities. The women's centre was turned down for funds from the United Nations because it is not considered a 'developing' nation. But Cheung adds: "Resources do not reach women as such." "Hongkong is a densely packed, heavily industrialised and urbanised city," reads a blackboard display at the centre opening. "It is a place where east meets west and where cultural conflicts arise. Women face a tremendous amount of pressure: on the one hand the traditional Asian family is dying, on the other, the modern Western support system is not fully established." Cheung says it took years for the government to even admit that some women were being physically abused. There is one shelter for battered women in crowded Hongkong, which has a population of 5.5 million. The shelter, Harmony House, opened in 1985. It was sponsored by another steering group of the council, and is now supported with government funding. The government is scheduled to open another shelter this year. The women's centre began a crisis telephone counselling service in 1981. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Chinese-speaking volunteers take the calls. The centre has a fulltime worker, Tai Sau Wai, a recent university graduate interested in working with women. Tai says in the three months since she started work, she has been surprised at how many telephone calls are from battered women. There are more than 200 women's groups in Hongkong but communications between them are poor. Among the most outspoken is the Chinese-language Association for the Advancement of Feminism, while other groups are more traditional and quiet. The women's centre hopes to increase networking between groups. Located in a Kowloon public housing estate, the centre is easily accessible by subway. It has a fledgling resource library with titles in Chinese and English, including classics from Simone de Beauvoir, Betty Friedman, and others. There is a private counselling room and a childcare room — the latter is bare because the centre lacks money to furnish it. A health clinic is also planned. Women involved with the centre say it is necessary because Hongkong women are still disadvantaged at home and in the workplace. Many women work outside the home but they are expected to perform a dual role, doing all housework as well. Few workers are unionized, par- See page 2: WOMEN HONGKONG—Wong Kwai- wan was brought to Hongkong from China when she was four years old. It was 1947. China was in ruins. The brutal 14-year Japanese occupation had ended but China was torn by the civil war between the Communists and the Kuomintang. Starving families sold their children. Kwai-wan and her siblings begged for a living in the streets of Hongkong. Before long her younger and older sisters had died of starvation. The shy, neatly dressed woman is the key speaker at the recent official opening of Hongkong's first women's centre. She is introduced to the small gathering as a role model for Hongkong women, kwai- wan is modest, though, as she talks See page 2: SONS Page 2 THE UBYSSE \\>il~>Vi Qjfo Friday, March 7, 1986 Sons valued more than daughters From page 1 about her life and how she became active working for tenants' rights. "My mother valued sons more than daughters," she says, speaking in the Chinese dialect of Cantonese, with an interpreter present. "I never had any chance of going to school." Sons are still strongly favored in China, and female infanticide still occurs. Kwai-wan's surviving older brother made it to school. But when Kwai-wan was 11 she became an amah, or servant, for a family. When she was 14 she joined a factory. Her co-workers at the factory encouraged her to study. Kwai-wan can read but not write. "I still have a sense of inferiority," she says. Kwai-wan knew her husband for two years before marrying him when she was 17. She thought she had a good husband and had high hopes for life. But although Kwai-wan met her Women shafted From page 1 ticularly in the crucial textiles sector where women predominate. Piecework is common. Employers advertising jobs almost always specify the sex, race, and age of the suitable employee, with Chinese women being offered the lowest paying jobs with less opportunity for advancement. Some ads include requests that the female applicant be attractive. In the media the unequal role of women is rarely addressed and treated frivolously when it is. For example, the major Enlish-language newspaper here, the South China Morning Post, printed an article on the women's centre in the children's section, alongside stories about pets and schoolchildren. Fanny Cheung and a colleague are completing research comparing the support systems of working class women who do participate in the community with those who don't. Cheung thinks the main problems facing Hongkong women are "lack of confidence that they can do something and lack of social support for them to come out and doit." husband in a community group, once married he opposed her involvements outside the home. By the time she had three children she had totally stopped these activities. Kwai-wan was unhappy. She worked fulltime. She played mah- jong, a game using tiles that can be heard in any Hongkong home during leisure hours, in all her spare time. Her husband started drinking. By age 25 Kwai-wan had four children, in 1963. She made three suicide attempts that year. Three years later was the turning point for Kwai-wan, when government social workers came to her public housing estate. Hongkong's housing estates have to be seen to be believed — ugly skyscrapers full of small apartments which house thousands of people. Most Hongkong people live on such estates. The alternative for more than 500,000 people here is squatter huts. Kwai-wan complained about living conditions on her estate: 40 households had to share two simple public washrooms with squat toilets, and there were nine people living in her 200-square-foot apartment. Residents held a general meeting. Kwai-wan and other housewives emerged as representatives of the resettlement estate. Kwai-wan says after this she was encouraged by one particular social worker. Although the worker was Christian and she herself is Buddhist, Kwai-wan says "she was able to give me a sense of mean- ingfulness in life." Kwai-wan began receiving family counselling. Her husband refused. He was unemployed for long periods of time and still overdrank. He also objected to sending the children to school. He wanted them to make money by selling dim sum, Cantonese food commonly eaten for breakfast and lunch. Kwai-wan says she was also physically abused by her husband. "I would grin and bear it," she says now. Instead of leaving her husband, Kwai-wan and the children tried to explain her activities to him. She says he did become more tolerant. In 1977 the government social agency recognised Kwai-wan's potential as a community leader and hired her as an assistant social worker. The same year her husband died, and she pulled herself through another emotional and financial crisis. Kwai-wan says she felt insecure as an assistant social worker because she lacked professional experience. But the families she dealt with and other social workers identified with her informal approach. She continued the job for eight years. Kwai-wan says through her example other women in resettlement estates became active, starting their own tenants rights groups. One woman is now an elected district board member. Kwai-wan describes one campaign when the Royal Hongkong Jockey Club wanted to set up a betting office in a housing estate. Residents were opposed. Kwai- wan and other tenants conducted an assessment study on resident opinions, with the help of a statistician. The proposal was defeated.

In 1983 Kwai-wan ran for elected office as a district board member, one of the few positions in Hongkong chosen by direct elections. Her children, now aged between 15 and 25, fully supported her. "It's not only men's responsibility and right to participate in politics," she says. Few women in Hongkong hold high-level positions. Kwai-wan says she feels that although she is in middle age she is still growing as a person. She lost her election bid but plans to run again. for Men & Women SHAMPOO, CUT, BLOWDRY 9.95 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (reg. 12.95) 3621 W. 4th A ve. 733-3831 mm nominations ma NOW OPEN FOR APPOINTMENTS TO Thunderbird Winter Sports Centre Management Board Aquatic Centre Management Board and Student Representatives on the following Presidential Advisory Committees: Child Care Services Concerns of the Handicapped Food Services Advisory International House Board of Directors Land Use Committee Men's Athletics Safety, Security & Fire Prevention Student Placement Student Services Student Union Building Traffic & Parking United Way Campaign Walter H.

Results from the questionairre — distributed to engineering students yesterday and today — may decide the future of the contentious ride says Doug Martin, Engineering Undergraduate Society presidentelect. "We would like to get a base from which to make future decisions on the matter," says Martin. "With all the hassles and controversy that has taken place in the last while we need a perspective." Under the threat of severe sanctions from engineering faculty president Axel Meisen, the EUS broke more than 30 years of tradition and did not parade a nude woman on horseback through campus. The society, however, stirred administration ire when it staged a private stripshow in a campus building. The poll, which must be filled and submitted by today, asks engineers what sex they are, if they have ever participated in the Godiva Ride, whether they wished to see the ride or the "exotic dance" portion continue, and if they wanted the EUS to provide separate funding for the annual event. Ballot boxes were posted at CEME, McLeod and the Computer Science building. Results from the election are private and no indication of public release has been given. "This is a private poll among UBC engineers and we do not feel any need to publicize the results," said Martin. Axel Meisen, UBC applied science dean, said he supported the referendum. "I think the students have full right to consult in some formal kind of manner concerning the issue." Jamie Andrews, a member of the coalition against sexism on campus Blacks earn less By DALBIR TIWANA Individuals should decide how and where they will invest their money, said the general secretary for the Federation of Transvaal Woman in South Africa Thursday. Jessica Duarte, a member of the Federation which is an affiliate of the United Democratic Front, said although she opposes apartheid which is, "a system of institutionalized racism which was developed and decreed law ... to ensure the wealthy would remain wealthy," she cannot talk directly on the effects of divestment because to do so would be a "treasonable act." Instead Duarte focused her talk to about 100 people in SUB auditorium on the current economic situation in S.A. Duarte said multinational corporations there "exploit cheap labor" and use a system of racism to gain profits. Black South Africans currently earn about three dollars per hour for the same jobs Canadians would earn $13 to $16 dollars per hour for. It is only now in 1986 that the mining industry is beginning to negotiate for minimum wage, said Duarte. About 99 per cent of the black people in South Africa work for very low wage jobs and don't "contribute to decision-making policy" she said and added South African employers defend this by saying the pay is decided by qualifications — higher pay for higher skills. Duarte said black people are by the above argument kept from getting the education needed to gain the skills for higher-wage jobs. The United Democratic Front, an anti-apartheid group demands the S.A. gov't establish national democracy, right of free speech, and the right of free association. Duarte says the South African government has "all the right P.R. approach" to pacify outsiders. Duarte said the government's P.R. is a "blatant lie" and leaves people outside the country "completely confused" of the situation in South Africa. Duarte said a "polarization" of the white working class to the conservative right wing occurs every time the anti-apartheid campaign is strengthened. This class is unwilling to give up their many material possessions gained as a result of apartheid she said. "South Africa's export income does not go back into the country for development but to the pockets of employers." Said Duarte: "the majority of the white people just don't actually think of (the apartheid) situation at all." They see (the) South African government as protecting their needs and support them on the basis of that, she said. The anti-apartheid campaign is working, said Duarte. "I don't think it will take another 30 years. . . (the complete abolishment of apartheid) will happen when it happens." said, "In the past the EUS have not necessarily been official representatives of the people." UBC engineers were happy about the idea and results of the election. Engineer Pat Cruickshank said, "I think it should be held. I don't see how Lady Godiva really hurt anyone. The election is a good way to begin the campaign and I will say yes on the ballot." Engineer Rick Morrow said, "It's good to find out what the people think. A lot of people were writing down comments so they were interested. Most people are far too reluctant to comment on the issue and this is one way we can find out." Doug Martins said, "I am not offering any opinions on the Godiva Ride myself. I am not commenting on the issue, only the fact that we are holding a debate referendum." 4fi£ —edward mou photo "WHAT IS ALL of this garbage?" says man walking in rain.

Jewett urges letter campaign By JUDITH REES-THOMAS Overwhelming public input convinced Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's not to sign an agreement with the United States on the Star Wars program last fall, NDP external affairs critic Pauline Jewett said. Guards hired; vandalism cited The Alma Mater Society hopes a tighter student union building security policy and the hiring of additional security guards will protect SUB furniture and offices from the clutches of vandals. Martin Cocking, AMS director of administration blamed the recent increase in SUB vandalism on the greater volumes of bookings in the building on weekends. Youths hanging out near the games room on skateboards have been responsible for the recent rash on false fire alarms he added. SUB proctor Dennis Ackland Snow said couches have been torn in the coversation pit, notice boards have been vandalized and offices have been broken into. He added many incidents have involved liquor and drugs for which the RCMP had to be called in. Under the new security policy, those 16 years of age and under will be prohibited from loitering in SUB after 9:30 p.m. unless accompanied by an AMS card holder or adult. The Student administrative council also hopes to hire three part-time employees to patrol the building Wednesday evenings. Their wages will be recovered through a sur charge to be levied on future bookings. Cocking said similar policies have been established in the past but there has not been a need for enforcement until recently. "The youth problem seems to happen in cycles," he said. Speaking to about 80 people at Robson Square Tuesday night, Jewett urged Canadians to write Mulroney to oppose renewal of the North American Air Defense Command agreement. "We need to get the message to the Prime Minister that his gut feelings were right in September, and to please consult them again," she said. Jewett said of those who spoke to the standing parliamentary committee on SDI last summer, 89 per cent were against Canadian participation in Star Wars. "There is no doubt at all. . . that input influenced the Mulroney government who had originally been very keen to have government- to-government co-operation." AMS gives company free ad One per cent of foreign service examination candidates get jobs in the diplomatic corps. But the Alma Mater Society sponsored a lecture Wednesday promoting an $85 "How to succeed in the 1986 foreign service competition" seminar this Sunday. "I'm just surprised. I've never heard of this sort of thing," Hugh Hiscox, public service commission of Canada regional director, said Thursday. In 1982-83, the latest year with complete figures, 4,447 people wrote the exam. Of that number, 640 were interviewed, but only 25 actually got jobs with the foreign service, according to public service figures. The exam was cancelled in 1983-84 and last October. AMS president Simon Seshadri said the society sponsorship of the seminar — providing free advertising worth $110 in the Ubyssey and free use of a room in SUB — originated with last year's president Glenna Chestnutt. He said the AMS sponsored the event because the firm offering the seminar, Foreign Service Examination and Career Counselling, Inc., has a student discount off their regular $120 fee. She said classified military research cannot occur in Canada without an government-to- government agreement. If the strategic defence initiative is approved, NORAD would be an essential ingredient in active ballistic missile defence she said. It is significant that a clause prohibiting Canadian participation in an active ballistic missile defence arrangement was quietly dropped when the agreement was last renewed in 1981. Jewett said that the more activity would break the existing ABM treaty. Cliff Andstein, Canadian Federation of Labor secretary treasurer, who also spoke at the meeting, said the labor movement is committed to a non-nuclear defence posture. He said that while there is some disagreement within the movement, the federation is convinced SDI would not make any impact on unemployment in Canada, adding research into armaments is capital- intensive, not labor-intensive. "The SDI proposal is absolute insanity and it is important that we as Canadians not participate in that insanity." Jewett's talk was organized by End the Arms Race, sponsors of Vancouver's Walk for Peace and co-sponsors of this year's Peace Festival, to be held April 24 to 27. Page 4 THE UBYSSEY Friday, March 7, 1986 Listen Letters Macdonald and Mussoc shirk their duty; Groberman absolved Having seen the UBC Musical Theatre Society's production of Fiddler on the Roof, and having read both Michael Groberman's review of said production and the MUSSOC president's response to said review (Ubyssey, Feb. 28), I feel a personal obligation to offer my own disinterested opinion. Mr. Groberman's unrelenting criticism of Grace Macdonald's direction and choreography caused me more than once to shift uncomfortably in my seat as I read the Feb. 7th issue of the Ubyssey. From an editorial point of view, it might have been more diplomatic to remove one or two of the 12. scathing references to Miss Macdonald (by name); but the Ubyssey staffers deemed such a mollification unnecessary. As a result, we the Valentines day leaves something to be desired In the 4/March/86 Ubyssey, Liz Robertson and Mary Desbrisay have suggested that Valentine's day be the "one day out of 365" reserved for "words of romance and love". May I suggest that the 13th/14th of February might better be reserved for the commemoration of the 1945 fire-bombing of Dresden, which left about 135,000 people dead, most of them civilians? Perhaps the contemplation of this anniversary will give us a better appreciation of just how precious life is. Jonathan Thornburg grad student, astronomy readers were treated to something not often found in the everyday realm of theatre criticism: a heartfelt, honest appraisal of a production, and not a milky, pseudo- intellectual discourse on everything but the production. In fact, I should like to thank Mr. Groberman for expressing in words the outrage I felt as I watched the deft emasculation of perhaps the most vibrant, powerful, and inspiring work of the musical theatre genre. Nobody is demanding perfection, but one would hope that even the most unprofessional company mounting a production of "Fiddler . . ." would take it upon itself to convey the depth and range of human feeling that it has to offer. MUSSOC — usually renowned for its professionalism — took it upon itself to offer nothing more than snazzy dancing and good singing; they utterly disregarded the play as a whole. And Mr. Groberman was saying simply, albeit adamantly, that the responsibility for this reprehensible carelessness falls rightfully upon the director's shoulders. Grace Macdonald just happened to be the director. There was nothing in the review to suggest, as Mr. Quan puts it, "the critic's hatred of Miss Macdonald." Moreover, I found it quite distasteful that Mr. Quan should have used his letter, primarily designed for hostile purposes, as a medium through which to thank Miss Macdonald for her 34 years of dedication to MUSSOC. Not only does this unfairly insinuate that Mr. Groberman had intended to cast aspersions on Miss Macdonald's past work, it makes one question the sincerity of MUSSOC's gratitude. Finally: Mr. Quan's contention — that it was the responsibility of the reviewer to acquaint himself with Jerome Robbins' Broadway choreography of "Fiddler ..." — is nothing short of laughable. Isn't the whole point of restaging a show for the umpteenth time to make an original contribution to it, and let it stand on its own merits? In any case, even if Miss Macdonald did judge the original choreography too good to alter, it was then her duty to justify the startling inconsistencies and ambiguities which Mr. Groberman pointed to in his critique. She did not, and thereby succeeded in insulting the artistic conscience of at least two members of her audience. Stefan Winfield arts 4 Tommorrow, March 8 is International Women's Day. It is a day to look at how far the women's movement has progressed. We can now cast our own vote. And it is socially acceptable to choose between the home and a career or to have both. Women are coming close to achieving equality in many areas, but one area that often goes unrecognized is in daily conversation. According to author Dale Spender we should all be recording our daily conversations. Especially when both men and women are present. The results may surprise you. Spender's research revealed, that men do most of the talking, interrupt more than women do, and tend to determine the topic of conversation. Her findings can be proven by examining ratio of men to women in politics, the media, and education. A career move can only be successful if a woman feels free to express herself on an equal basis with men, without being labelled domineering. Listening is an important way to understand group dynamics. It's an important way to learn. But listening without an equal participation in discussion will only lead to mental stagnation. International Women's Day should be a reminder to both men and women to monitor what they say, and when they say it. Buying votes Rumor has it post-secondary education minister Russ Fraser announced doubling of student aid funding yesterday. Oddly enough, his secretary had not to have heard of the announcement — what stellar organization the man has backing him. And the Socreds have instituted a $110-million "educational excellence fund" for universities, colleges and schools mere weeks ago. And, lets drink to their good health, they have announced more money for hospitals and medical care. Not even the traditional Socred forte — roadbuilding — has been neglected; there's money for that too. Of course, the kiddies aren't left out either. They are being treated to funding for trips to Expo '86 (with money formerly devoted tofield trips, but who's counting). Could there possibly be a provincial election in the works. We need only look for a decrease in the sales tax to know for sure. Letters New fund a rip off The February 11, 1986 announcement of the Socred Governments' $110 million fund for "Excellence in Education" sounds at first like a windfall for post-secondary education. On closer analysis, however, it doesn't come close to the $330 million cut from the budget for operating costs since 1982. Only a small portion of the total fund is available to cover operating costs of existing institutions, with the larger share going to "special initiatives". Allocations from the fund are to be made by Cabinet on a "merit" basis, in effect giving the executive of the Government more control in directing funding, and moving towards further centralization of the education system. (The question of democratically elected College Boards vs. Socred appointees becomes irrelevant as the government moves towards full control of all aspects of education.) These "Special Initiatives" may be legitimate undertakings, (such as small business development, and advisory services to entrepeneurs) but these are essentially economic rather than educational activities and should therefore be funded as such, rather than with "scarce education dollars". It is vital to realize that to the 'average man on the street', the $110 million 'increase' would appear to be a lot of money invested in education, and another indication that Uncle Bill cares. It is up to all students who are concerned about the quality and accessibility of B.C.s' poorly funded universities to let the public know that the new "Educating for Excellence" is simply a program designed to channel what will be called education funds into non-educational activities.

The Ubyssey's position was made even clearer Feb. 25 in- an editorial addressed to Doug Collins: 'You suggest that there are right reasons and wrong reasons for a man's penis to become erect . . . But can you not appreciate the subjectivity of that experience?"

By this, Filmsoc is apparently implying that they consider the one sanction that has been imposed on the EUS to be unjust. I remind the readers that this sanction is the one which prevents the EUS, as a body, from booking rooms on University property. In my understanding, it was imposed by the Administration in direct response to the use, by the EUS, of an unbooked room on University property, for an event which they told the Administration was not going to be held. In light of this fact, I wonder if we could get some clarification from Filmsoc and the AMS on whether this is their official position on the subject.

The Democratic Women's Union works for the unity of all working women and women students to fight side by side with progressive and democratic men to oppose imperialism and imperialist war, to make the rich pay for the crises and I used to write coherently in full sentences, with no grammatical errors, and I never misquoted anyone. Then I joined The Ubyssey. My life will never be the same. - Bert Smegg Ubyssey Fashion Editor to put an end to all forms of exploitation and oppression in order to achieve the full equality and freedom of all working people. This was the tradition established by the founder of International Women's Day, Clara Zetkin, the outstanding German communist woman organizer and co-fighter of Lenin against imperialism and imperialist war. Today anti-imperialist women of B.C. are preoccupied with the struggle against war preparations of the United States and Soviet Union, and their military alliances, NATO ant the Warsaw Pact. Women are also organizing against mass unemployment, education cutbacks, increasing impoverishment and so on with the main aim of making the rich pay for the crisis of the capitalist system. Women also struggle against racism and chauvism being promoted, especially in B.C. where the East Indian community is under attack, as a especially in B.C. where the East Indian community is under attack, as a way to divide the people. All these problems are inherent in the imperial system. A handful of wealthy oligarchs dominate powerful and aggressive states and openly plunder the people's of the world. This system leads to the double exploitation of women and to the triple exploitation of immigrants. Although much money and effort has been spent to divert the struggles of women away from this goal of abolishing the imperialist system, and to set up all sorts of "women's issues" and even present men as the "enemy", such diversions have not been able to silence the voice of revolutionary and democratic women. Such women continue to fight shoulder to shoulder with men for the emancipation of the entire working class and people as the precondition for the emancipation of women. This tradition will be marked with bright red flags and banners this March 8th. I invite all democratic women and men students to join the Democratic Women's Union in celebrating the 75th Anniversary of International Women's Day on Saturday; March 8 at 1 p.m. at 14th and Commercial, and at the Britannia Community Centre at 3 p.m. Barbara Waldern unclassified student UBC students, but the Ubyssey's lucid statement of the equality of sexual preferences commits the Ubyssey to defending the right of these persons to celebrate their sexuality by openly dominating consenting naked women. Doubtless some student elements would label this "strange" or "queer" or "perverted". If so, perhaps the Ubyssey could run a Macho Special issue to educate the public about macho sexual styles. If, on the other hand, the Ubyssey believes that there really is something intrinsically morally wrong with some forms of sex between consenting adults, I would be extremely interested to hear what it is. I have devoted much thought to this question, but am inclined to agree with the editorial cited that it is intrinsically a matter of taste, not morality. The best compromise theory would seem to be that while there is nothing intrinsically wrong with macho sexuality, it contingently has bad consequences in that it encourages participants to oscillate between aggression and submission in all their daily interactions with other persons. If habitual power inequality in personal relations proves, as seems likely, to lead on balance to harm and unhappiness, then this would constitute a good reason for asking macho types to stay in the closet. The engineers are therefore to be applauded for having their strip show behind closed doors, where only those who enjoy such things are exposed to them. Even so, if the Ubyssey is right that sexual preferences are purely subjective, then engineers should no more be criticized for liking strip shows and naked women on horses than should lesbians for liking other women. Even if no woman would consent to be dominated, this would not show that there was anything wrong with a man's desiring to dominate women. It would only be wrong for him to act on his desire. Analogously, even if there were only one gay man on earth, so that no man would consent to be his lover, this would not show that the gay man was wrong to desire other men. It is courageous of the Ubyssey to confront sexual issues and take a stand on them regardless of the public opinion. However, the principle of the equality of sexual preferences is a Pandora's Box — I suspect that some Ubyssey staffers will not feel at all comfortable with some of the clear implications of their current stand. I look forward to evolution in the Ubyssey's position on sexual preferences. Nick Sleigh philosophy 9 Is Canada a "greatpower"? I would like to address a letter of Mark Fettes, "Rethink NORAD," (Ubyssey, Mar. 4). First of all, I would like to remind him that the Tories recently brought out a Green paper on Foreign Policy that only emerged after extensive public debate and input; this Paper is to be used as a basis for a more thorough revaluation of our foreign policy soon to be tabled. But not to be wholly negative, I have to agree with him concerning Dyer's program, "The Defence of Canada." I, like him, watched the show with great interest. However, I differ on several points. Specifically, I cannot agree that Canada "acquired the habits of thoughts of a Great Power" near the end of World War II; if Mr. Fettes would examine the speeches and statements of any of the politicians or External Affairs officers of that era, he'll see that they all recognized the limitations placed upon Canadian freedom of action and thus worked within those limitations. Indeed, Canada's input at the San Francisco Conference in 1945, that was organized to draft the Charter of the UN, is the epitomy of the realization of Canada's stature as a Middle Power. Furthermore, Mr. Fettes' statement concerning NATO — that Canada's commitment to it was "almost a reflex action" — is totally misleading. Canada, in fact, was the first nation to propose the formation of such a body, in the fall of 1947 — a year and a half before the North Atlantic Treaty was signed. And over that period, from 1947-49, the Canadians were probably the most active initiators of ideas in the negotiations. They recognized that Canada needed to push for such an alliance in order to best promote Canada's interests. Also, I have to again differ with him concerning his claim ' that Canada's participation in NATO has never been debated. Actually, this subject was one of the most frequently discussed issues in political and academic fora during the 1960's; it has remained an active issue of debate today. However, agreement has obviously been achieved on the question of Canada most effectively asserting its limited influence by remaining within this and other alliances. This is evidenced by the fact that the Mulroney government has begun, albeit in small measure, to reemphasize Canada's commitment to her alliances, a commitment that had been somewhat curtailed by the Trudeau government because it did question the viability of Canadian involvement. I would have to say that I myself feel that Canada can best advance its own interests by maintaining its participation in as many diverse international organizations as possible. Finally, I would like to end by saying that I will definitely watch the remaining two episodes of Dyer's program in order to see his perspective on Canada's present role in international affairs. Also, I would like to read the brief that his group has put together. If he would like to discuss this topic with me, he can contact me through the International Relations Students' Association.

Avenue Friday, March 7,1986 THE UBYSSEY Page 7 DO Lessing examines the prisons in our minds By CAMILE DIONNE Nineteen-eighty four was two years ago but according to Doris Lessing the threat of government mind control is still with us. In her latest book, "Prisons We Chose to Live Inside," Lessing examines the ways we have had our thinking manipulated by groups around us, especially by governments and priesthoods' Lessing uses graphic examples from her own life growing up in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwa) to illustrate her points. "Prisons" opens with a humorous story about a farmer in southern Rhodesia shortly after world war two. He had a prize bull which killed its twelve year old keeper. The farmer decided that the bull was a murderer and deserved to die. He had the bull executed for the crime of murder. Lessing uses this as one example of how easily we revert to primitive ideas and behaviours. Lessing's book is a collection of five CBC lectures she gave in October 1985 on the ways people have been manipulated throughout history. She sees in people a tendency to follow the beliefs of the group and to be easily swayed by propaganda and rhetoric. According to Lessing we are all brainwashed to some extent by religions, political ideologies or groups we are part of. She sees in humanity a tendency to see things in a black and white, right and wrong, us and them manner. Lessing examines the strategies used by governments and churches to control the thoughts of the people. She sees the dynamics of the group to be the most powerful force in society. Lessing sees the "soft sciences" — psychology, sociology and social sciences, as well as history, as the key to understanding how we are manipulated. She also feels that children should be educated to recognize this manipulation. Lessing sees the greatest benefit of a democratic society as the freedom to examine what is done to us, although our thinking is confused by governments, who use trained public relation experts. We can then use our knowledge of what is happening, to in some way stand against the almost irresistable force of the opinions of the group. At times I found Lessing wandering in her presentation. However, she somehow always ended up at her destination however obscure the path. Prisons We Choose to Live Inside is provocative and it challenges the reader to think about the things we have accepted without question, good and evil, right and wrong. Lessing's book is interesting reading and leaves one with new ideas and perceptions of society to chew on. CARMEN is a powerful, skillful, beautiful film By ROSANNA DITMARS Carmen, the film, has received deserved universal acclaim. To make things even more tricky the genre of "opera film" has not been sufficiently developed to allow for extensive comparison between Carmen and other films of its type (La Traviata being a fortunate exception). The idea of adapting opera to film is essentially a good one and ideally can enhance both art forms. However, the inherent problem in such an adaption is there are certain elements of opera so inately theatrical that they often seem artificial and staged in a cinematic context. Hence a few ludicrous scenarios such as Micaela perched precariously on a mountainside, singing to Don Jose that his mother is dying, while his fellow bandits sit calmly drinking wine around a fire. Carmen directed by Francesco Rossi at the Vancouver East Theatre Despite this problem there are still several advantages to presenting an opera on screen. The visual reality of the opera is greatly enhanced as the film-maker can paint a much more vivid picture of its historical and cultural context then could ever be done in a theatre. In this respect Rossi performs admirably. The scenery is breathtaking and the settings of Seville and the bull ring are historically accurate and strikingly beautiful. At times his crowd scenes seem to melt into warm-colored impressionist paintings full of light and movement. At other times nature is awesome and all-powerful; huge caverns gape like the very jaws of romantic fate as Carmen and her friends read their tarot-card fortunes. In fact the film's three hours are immersed in powerful imagery, beginning with the initial slow motion close- up of a wounded, bleeding bull reeling in a ring and ending with several beautiful gypsy women, weeping over the dying Carmen. Cinematographer Pasqualino De Santis' artistic prowess is undisputed as are choreographer Antonio Gaddis' magnifi cent folk dances, which provide the film with a wonderful rhythmic vitality. Placido Domingo delivers a solid performance as Don Jose and effectively portrays the soldier-turned criminal's insane love for Carmen. His strong but subtle vocal performance is emotionally powerful and complements Migenes Johnson's knock-em dead, overdramatic style. Actually, apart from a few moments of lagging action, Migenes Johnson's performance which often borders on melodrama, is the only thing that really bothers me about the film. It's true that she does have an incredible voice and screen presence and that the gypsy, Carmencita (Mignes Johnson, she of flared nostrils and curly hair) is a character that must be played strongly, but Migenes Johnson's portrayal sometimes borders on caricature. She struts around in the La Boheme sequence with jutting hips and flashing eyes, playing "la femme en rouge" for all its worth. In fact, her sensuality is so emphatically displayed that it makes you want to stand up in the theatre and yell, "Will someone please tell that woman to keep her skirt down!" Of course the fault lies not entirely with Migenes Johnson, but also with the original opera by Bizet in which the female characters are one dimensional to the point of allegory. Carmen comes to represent evil incarnate, a femme fatale who traps men with her charms and drags them down to her base level. Hence Don Jose turns to a life of crime when he falls in love with her. Micaela, in contrast, is all innocence and purity, a young blond girl who wears a blue frock and crucifix and prays to God for protection from Carmen. However Faith Eschen's effective portrayal of Micaela is successful and somehow less grating than Migenes Johnson's, despite her character's sugar coatedness. All in all, Rossi's Carmen is a powerful, skillfully crafted film, whose visual beauty more than compensates for its occasional dramatic lapses. wo® Allen soys enjoy life in his most mature film yet By DUNCAN STEWART If Woody Allen was ever asked what he wanted to do when he grew up, he probably would have said Hannah and Her Sisters. Hannah and Her Sisters directed by Woody Allen at the Bay Theatre "Hannah" is Allen's most recent release, and it shows genuine filmmaking maturity. If Annie Hall and Manhattan are Woody Allen posing cinematic questions, then Hannah and Her Sisters shows he has found some of the answers. It is also one of his least neurotic and pessimistic films. This is not to say that the movie is recognizable as a Woody Allen film. It contains many of the elements that have made his other movies so enjoyable. The film opens and closes with family Thanksgiving dinners, set three years apart. The title characters are Hannah (Mia Farrow), and her sisters, Lee (Barbara Hershey) and Holly (Dianne Wiest). Lee is a beautiful and vulnerable type who attracts the eye (and some other parts) of Han nah's husband, Elliot (Michael Caine), even though she is already living with an isolated and moody artist, Frederich (Max von Sydow). The third sister, Holly, fights over an attractive architect with her friend (Carrie Fisher). They spend ten minutes together in his car, each of the two friend;, trying to pick a route home that will get them dropped off last. Woody Allen plays Hannah's ex-husband, Mickey Sax, a paranoid hypochondriac. His greatest fear (hope?) occurs when he finds out he may really have a brain tumor. Watching Mickey neurotically wallow in self-pity shows that Woody Allen still has a talent for making the tragic hilarious. Mickey eventually discovers that he is not going to die, at least not right away, and encouraged by his brush with mortality, sets out to find a religion. To far from stoic reaction of his Jewish parents, he tries Catholicism. Returning from his conversion, he dumps a grocery bag onto the table revealing a spiritual sandwich: a crucifix, mayonnaise and Wonder bread. Through all of the romantic entanglements and personal crises of her family, Hannah remains calm and self-assured. In fact, it is Hannah's independence from her husband that drives Elliot to have an affair with Lee. He feels that Hannah could live just as well without him, and he needs a woman who needs him. All of the actors play their roles flawlessly. Dianne Wiest plays a perfect drug-using, unstable flake. Max von Sydow is wonderfully disdainful as an artist who will not sell his work to a rock star who wants a painting to cover up wall space and match his living room color scheme. The best performances, however, come from Michael Caine and Barbara Hershey. They convey genuine sexual tension, and give new life to the over-used adulterous comedic situations. The writing is up to the usual Allen standards. Of course, Woody gets to deliver most of the good one-liners. Commenting on Nietz- clie's view that man will repeat his life over and over again, Mickey complains, "That means I'd have to sit through the Ice Capades again." A date where the conservative Mickey spends time in a punk bar is compared, unfavourably, with the Nuremberg trials. Woody Allen uses interesting devices to get the audience's attention. He divides the movie into segmented chapters by beginning each scene with title projected on the screen. These titles are usually a line from that scene, but they are very effective in creating the appropriate mood for what follows. Allen also sub-divides the movie with music. Each couple is shown with specific background music. For example, whenever Elliot and Lee are alone together, classical music is setting the mood. Jazz and big band music are used for other scenes. The only complaint I had about the movie was a scene where Hannah's parents (Maureen O'Sullivan and Lloyd Nolan) fight. The sole point of the scene seems to be a spurious and shallow attempt to create "rounded" characters. It does not advance the plot of the movie or explain the main characters' motivations in any way. The movie's conclusion, arrived at by Mickey, is "just enjoy life while it lasts." Not original, but true enough and I too encourage people to enjoy this phase of Woody Allen's filmmaking while it lasts. inn**1*10"1 By JENNIFER LYALL Three hundred pounds of jiggling, gyrating fat falling out of a leopard-skin bodysuit while making overtly suggestive gestures with a microphone. It sounds gross, but really ... it was Divine. Divine is a three-hundred-pound transvestite who first entered the limelight in the seventies starring in fringe? cult? weird? movies including Pink Flamingoes and Female Trouble, and has since earned a living and a cult following from her (his?) lewd and crude movies and stage extravaganzas. Originally scheduled to perform at the Luv-A- Fair on February 19, she finally made it on Wednesday, explaining, "I couldn't have crawled here two weeks ago. Someone tried to poison me. I think it was Alexis; she hates me because I'm more beautiful than she is." She belched, she made lewd gestures with her microphone, she made jokes about the Pope's foreskin, she asked the audience, "You want to fuck me, don't you?" The whole thing was so completely tasteless, that I felt a bit guilty for liking it so much. In between the jokes and the belches, Divine managed to sing (screech? lip-synch?) her way through a number of raunchy songs with decidedly off-color lyrics such as "I'm not so tight but that's all right", accompanied with hip swivels that made Elvis look like Lawrence Welk. Throughout the show she maintained a lively, to say the least, banter with the audience, exclusively on the subject of her and their sexual interests and preferences. And wow, does she ever know how to dress. Skin-tight bodysuit, brizzy white wig, and positively frightening makeup including long false eyelashes to flutter at the audience. Her hair was reminiscent of Tina Turner gone berserk — "I must have left it in the socket too long tonight," she joked. With her stomach protruding from her sleazy leopardskin suit she looked a bit like a lard jellybean on legs. And Divine wasn't the only unusual looking person there, either, as she was quick to point out. "What is this, Hallowe'en?" she demanded. "I get paid to dress like this. What's their excuse?" Divine is not into being polite. So if it was so tasteless, why did I like it? Perhaps I just have a sick sense of humor. I occasionally enjoy hearing people make jokes about things most people won't talk about; such uninhibitedness can be refreshing. Divine treats sex, which most of us take to serious, as a colossal joke_. She has guts. The only real problem I had with this show was its price - $13, and Divine was only on stage for about thirty-five minutes. That comes to about $25 an hour. Even Divine herself knew it was a rip-off. "I'm assholing all the way to the bank," she said. -neil lucente photo DIVINE . . .looks down, looks out, and looks back up again Page 8 T(1EUBT95CT- Friday, March 7, 1986 Beaudry tells of transition By SARAH MILLIN The occupation of Vancouver's transition house is now over. Women occupied the house after the provincial government cut funding and have now left with assurances from city council that the house will be staffed 24 hours a day, provide legal advice for women seeking refuge, and provide child care. Battered Women by Micheline Beaudry published by Black Rose Books Most news coverage does not explain the history of transition houses, government funding and its effects on the houses, nor the important political basis of the houses. Battered Women by Micheline Beaudry examines the history of shelter for women, particularly in Quebec, and an overview of the transition house movement in Europe, where it originated, and elsewhere in Canada. Beaudry is well qualified to write the book, holding a master's degree in social work and nearly ten years involvement with transition houses in Quebec. The term "battered women" is younger than the feminist movement. The problem was first recognized by feminists, Beaudry says. After all, the first feminists were housewives. This is reflected by the shelters they created for women. "In seeking help and support, the women whose plight is most desperate — battered women — have thus chosen a familiar and anonymous background for combatting violence: the house, the home. They have reclaimed possession of the home and turned it into a place of action, and thus a public, political space," Beaudry writes. In Quebec and Europe, women who set up transition houses wanted the space to be used as a public forum for a problem previously considered private. Women at the houses are/were encouraged to discuss the issue and other things as part of a push to help them regain their confidence. All transition houses deal with the media to increase awareness of domestic violence. The fact houses are used as a refuge for women as well as public forum has been labeled deviant by society. Certainly it is rare for a place that is usually a form of isolation for women and a quiet one, at that to be thus used. But as Beaudry writes, the home is what women who have set up these services knew best as well as being a more familiar place for the women using the home. Although the needs of women are first, transition houses usually provide services for children. Beaudry details in one section of the book the different services offered by various shelters and the politics and policies behind the services. Beaudry recounts how as the house in Quebec became more dependent on government funding, the internal structure of some transition shelters became more bureaucratic and removed from the origins of women helping other women. Beaudry points out the irony of the governments funding something they chose to ignore for years and as deviant even when they fund them as evident by their policy. The bureaucracy has been created by the government funding, Beaudry writes. Whatever the structure of the transition house, no woman leaves one feeling helpless and isolated. Anyone who doubts the value of transition houses should read Beaudry's clear and complete book. im NOMINATIONS NOW 0IH OPEN FOR Appointments to BUDGET COMMITTEE OMBUDSPERSON and EDITOR, INSIDE UBC 1986-87 Nominations close Applications 4 p.m., Friday, March 21 Available SUB 238 ROCK & ROLL SEMINAR What is the Truth about Rock & Roll?

The Minister of State (Youth) has been spared the budget axe, but no specific budget has been allocated, unlike the other junior ministry under the secretary of state, the Ministry of State (Multiculturalism), which does have a budget. The government allocated $5.5 million to wind down Katimavik, the youth volunteer programme cut last month. The estimates say the other $14.2 million of Katimavik's regular budget has been "reallocated to new government initiatives and priorities." But these priorities aren't spelled out anywhere in the report. The budget of the citizenship development programme, which one treasury board official said includes most of the Ministry of Youth's spending money, will drop from $24.3 million in 1985-86 to $10 million in 1986-87. The government will save another $6.8 million because there is no money being spent this year on youth projects. Last year the government spent $12 million to celebrate International Year of Youth. The total personnel in the Secretary of State will decrease by 139 full time jobs. A hastily drawn-up memo to CUP from Minister Andree Champagne's press secretary, Caroline Carel, lists loan guarantees for small businesses, measures to help farmers, an increase in the Child Tax Credit, the Refundable Sales Tax Credit, and support to university based research and development as budget measures that will benefit' youth. But none of these measures are administered by the Ministry of Youth. Youth critic Howard McCurdy (NDP - Windsor-Walderville) is not impressed. "They (the government) have managed to write a whole budget with the only specific mention of youth being the elimination of a programme, he said. "It does not bode well for a ministry whose portfolio virtually empty." Barb Donaldson, chair of the Canadian Federation of Students, agreed. "It's incredible that two reports come out in one week stressing the problems of youth unemployment, that 700,000 young people in Canada are unemployed or underemployed" and the budget doesn't mention it, she said. McCurdy and Donaldson con- curr: there is no reason for the ministry of youth to exist. Since there is no money for Champagne to spend, her remain ing role is to be an advocate for youth in the Cabinet. "She's not even doing that," Donaldson said. Carel disagrees. "As the advocate of youth within the federal government," Carel writes, "Champagne is confident that the 1986 budget and its associated measures . . . will be of short-term benefit to Canadian youth. "Over the longer term, the aims of deficit reduction and sustained growth will return Canada to its status as a land of hope and prosperity." i UBC HE EAT E RY 1 FREE BURGER THE GOOD DEAL IS YOUR LEAST EXPENSIVE BURGER IS FREE WHEN TWO ARE ORDERED.
