The Cy
Posties picket in SUB jam
McMaster seeks student support
by Warren Ferguson
The university community has a role to play in exerting pressure on politicians to maintain of a strong public sector for Canadians.
That was the message delivered by Greg McMaster, president of the local office of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers during an infor- mation picket held Tuesday after- noon in SUB.
Picketers handed out leaflets to students outside the SUB postal franchise. The leaflets outlined some of the issues of the postal strike, in particular postal station closures, door-to-door service, and quality service.
“What is at stake is keeping the post office alive in Canada. We want people to join with us in de- fending the public postal system in Canada, and to tell their MPs to oppose back-to-work legislation if it comes down,” said McMaster.
One of greatest concerns, accord- ing to McMaster, is the selling of post office franchises to the private sector.
“Most of these operations are a sideline for private business, whose main interest is the profit in selling
toothpaste,and magazines. Their primary-interest is notin providing postal service, it is a way of getting people into their store to buy other things,” he said.
McMaster also said that postal franchises are part of a strategy by Canada Post to make the service by union workers seem inadequate.
“They allow franchises to open all they want, and we are not al- lowed to do so. Thus, people think
: that the service is better here. A deliberate policy by Canada Post to
understaff the existing offices makes the service looks poor in compari- son,” he said.
The picketers said that they would continue their campaign until franchises are closed, and postal stations reopened.
Maggie Ip, manager of the SUB post office franchise, admitted that the postal strike hurt business a few weeks ago, but the picket on cam- pus had little effect.
“In the first couple of days there was a bit of a slow-down. People didn’t know if the service was run- ning. Now, (the picket) doesn’t really effect us, everything is run- ning normal,” she said.

Guaranteed place for aboriginal students
by Warren Ferguson
The University of Alberta Board of Governors has adopted a policy that will ensure greater access to university education for aboriginal students.
The policy was outlined in the Quinquennial Review of Quota Pro- grams 1989-90 dated September 6, and will ensure that a definite number of placesin quota programs will be reserved for aboriginal stu- dents, provided applicants meet minimum admission standards.
The new policy sets outa five per cent guarantee for aboriginal stu-
dents in quota programs. The in- troduction of this programis being welcomed by native educatorsand students alike.
Reinhild Boehm, Director of the Native Student Services on cam- pus, believes that this measure is making access to education more equitable.
“Tt redresses the injustice and imbalance in the system. It re- dresses an a situation that has historically disfavoured native people, andis balancing thescale,” she said.
Boehm said that the educational

system in many reserves and in the North is failing to produce native graduates.
“Something is happening in the system itself that is preventing na- tive students from getting to the highest grades and subjects. Many of the reserves go up to only grade eight,” she said.
Boehm described a high school in the North where the drop-out rate is atits highest. She said that of a group of 82 grade ten students registered in all the science sub- jects, only four continued their studies through grade12.
Since the introduction of the quota system, there has been a “to- tal magnetism” that draws native students to the U of A, according to Boehm.
“At least we see the applications, where we would not haveseenthem before. They would have been lost inthe pool. Now, applications from all over the country are coming.”
Despite the advantages of thenew policy, Boehm warns that it may act like a double-edged sword. Ab- original students may be seen as receiving preferential treatment by the university.
“There are extremely bright na

success.

for 91-92
by Karen Unland
The Students’ Union is not printing any more 1991-92 Stu- dent Handbooks, even though all of the books have been distributed and students are asking for more.
All of the 15 000 handbooks that were printed were distributed by volunteers during registration week.
SU vp internal Katrina Haymond was surprised that all the handbooks are gone.
“I never thought this would happen in a million years.”
According to Haymond, there were thousands of handbooks left over in 1990-91. Asa result, the SU ordered 2000 fewer books than last year.
Printing 15 000 handbooks cost theSU just over $50000. Haymond said that the printer, Ronald’s Printing, will charge $12 000 for the next 1000 copies ordered.
“T’d love to beable to give hand- books to the people who want them... but for $12 0001 just can’t.”
Student Handbook co-editor Rachel Sanders said that hand- books were left over last year be- cause they were late being printed and not all were available on reg- istration day.
“They should have realized that we were getting them out on time this year.”
No more handbooks
SU ordered 2000 fewer than last year
Sanders was disappointed that no more handbooks are being printed.
“It’s really annoying because the students pay for their handbooks and it’s very much in demand this year.”
Kathleen Walsh, director of in- formation services, found out on Wednesday that the SU was out of handbooks.
“We've been telling people to wait four to six weeks.”
Walsh said that the situation is unfortunate but unavoidable.
“It would have beennice to have known from Day One... but it wouldn’t have been fair to make the decision [not to print more] arbitrarily, without going to the Building Services Board.”
Haymond chairs the Building Services Board . She said that the board was not willing to spend $12 000 for the extra copies. As a result, Haymond will recommend to the SU executive that no more handbooks be printed.
Students have been bombard- ing the SU Information Desks with requests for handbooks. Accord- ing to SUB info desk clerk Brad Johner, there have been quite a few disappointed students.
“Td say there’s been about one person per minute coming up to ask me.”

Local reaction To Soviet disintegration
Opinions vary considerably on the fate of the Slavic world
by Karen Unland
Recentevents in the Soviet Union have inspired a wide range of opin- ions on campus.
Serhii Plokhy is a professor from Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine who is teaching at the University of Alberta this semester. He was in Moscow at the time ofthe coup thattemporarily dislodged Gorbachev from power. Plokhy said that he was afraid at first, but soon realized that the takeover by Soviet hardliners could not last.
“My first idea was that the coup was successful. But then I walked around the central park in Moscow and I saw the announcements on the wall of the streets. There were xeroxes of the letter signed by Yeltsin and written by other lead- ers of the Soviet Government. It

was written that it was a takeover, that it was an anti-constitutional act, and a lot of people gathered and read this... and the militia were going around and nothing hap- pened.”
Plokhy said that he could tell by the way that the coup leaders spoke
“Communism is through and socialism is struggling. It's been dealt a huge blow and the only people that don't know that are the NDP."
in their press conference that the takeover would not last.
“Isaw how they were not sure of themselves. They didn’t feel... on safeground. Peopleunderstood that the coup wasn’t constitutional.”
Back in Canada, the ever-chang- ing face of the Soviet Union chal- lenges students and professors to keep up with current events.
Professor David Marplessaid that although history does not change, the way it is taught does in light of recent events.
“The perspective changes if the system is no longer in place.”
Plokhy said that the upheaval over the summer has increased in- terest among students.
“Through these events they are also more interested... in the his-
tory of the Soviet Union, the history of the nationality question, the his- tory of church/state relations.”
Professor Andriy Nahachewsky of the department of Slavicand East European Studies said that even in his field of Ukrainian folklore, the dynamic nature of the Soviet Union affects his lectures.
“T’ve had to add the phrase ‘until about three weeks ago’ about a hundred times in my lecture.”
Marples recently published a study of Ukraine between 1985 and 1990. He says that scholars should not worry about being instantly out- of-date when writing about the Soviet Union.

“Keeping abreast of events is the job of the journalists, not the aca- demics.”
Professor of Soviet politics Max E. Mote agreed that it is hard to keep up.
“I’m just constantly revising and updating the material... You get it out of the New York Times.”
Despite the reliance on journalists to keep track of events, Mote has not been satisfied with media cov- erage.
“Our media could have sought out people with real expertise.... There is not much attempt to get a really deep look at things.”
Opinions on the future of com- munism vary widely. According to Mote, the political system is dead.
“Communism is through and socialism is struggling. It’s been dealt a huge blow and the only people that don’t know that are the NDP.”
Michael Joyce, an active member of a Marxist-Leninist study group oncampuslast year, said that recent events have been misinterpreted. “Effectively communism is dead. [The Soviet Union] madeanattempt at socialism and it never even made that.... Capitalism is thriving and fucking up all over the place.”
Joyce said that the Soviet system should notbe completely dismissed.
“Amazing advances were made under Lenin and Stalin... they went from a peasant farming society to
an industrial society... after that that was it.”
Joyce says that Marxism could and should survive.
“The spirit of ‘brotherly love’ is still there and that’s basically what Marxism was— working for the common good.”
Marples said that the end of the USSR does not mean the end of communism.
“It is wrong to see everything as the failure [of communism] or the victory of capitalism....It is the end of a totalitarian system that was opposed by force.”
The disintegration of the Soviet Union and the consequent inde- pendence of the republics is of par- ticular interest to the large Ukrai- nian population in Alberta.
Nahachewsky said that things will get worse in Ukraine before they get better, but that indepen- dence is necessary to solve the republic’s economic woes.
"Capitalism is thriving and fucking up all over the place."
“The most important issue is that people need to live better.”
Plokhy favoured a union of more decentralized republics with smaller governments.
“It seems to me that these local governments, local soviets, which were elected during‘ the first real democratic elections in the Soviet Union, they will be rather effective in their attempts to escape from this very dangerous situation.”
He warned against complete in- dependence however.
“It's possible to be independent in political or cultural affairs but not economic.”
Mote praised Canadian officials for recognizing the independence of the republics.
“T admire Mulroney for what he did. Bush had his reasons for going slowly... he wants to see some kind of union preserved for the sake of stability.”

AFL protests pension plan
by Karen Unland
Members of the Non-Academic Staff Association at the U of A will be marching on the Legislature on Thursday. They will be participat- ing in a demonstration organized by the Alberta Federation of Labour to protest changes to the govern- ment pension plan.
Kevin Warner of NASA said that Treasurer Dick Johnson’s plan to increase employee and employer contributions to pensions plans is unacceptable.
“We didn’t think it was particu- larly fair... that the people that are currently employed working for the people should have to pay for the past mistakes of the government.”
Warner said that NASA may consider taking the Alberta gov- ernment to court for breach of contract.
“We've offered to allow the University to join in with us... if we were to engage in a lawsuit.”
NASA has arranged for a bus to transport protesters to the Legisla- ture. The bus leaves at 11:45 from the bus stop on the corner of 87th Avenue and 114th Street.

Ag Eng holds on for one more year
Students fear that professors will leave
by Sharon Sood
Although it was cut by the Uni- versity of Alberta this summer, the department of Agricultural Engi- neering has students and a budget for this year, according to the department’s director, Jeremy Leonard.
“The department will run as regular for this academic year, but we will be preparing a plan of how the department will be wound down, and will cease to exist as of March 1992.”
The final decision to drop the program was approved by Minister of Advanced Education John Gogo and passed by the Board of Gover- nors during the summer. However, Leonard was unable to attend this meeting, as it took place while he was on holidays. Heis not sure why this meeting took place in his ab- sence.
“I was promised that nothing would happen while I was away.”
Leonard said that his greatest concern is for the students in the program. He stresses the impor-
tance of being able to give the stu- dents what they came for.
“The university has an obliga- tion to maintain standards, how- ever it obviously will not beas good or ideal due to the current situation not being very attractive for mem- bers on staff.”
Scott Hoover, vice president of
“Nobody knows what is going on, and if we don't have a department who are we answerable to?"
First year Ag Eng student Jayne Cheyney
the Agricultural Engineering Club, also expressed concern over the quality of education that the stu- dents may be receiving.
“Professors would naturally want job security and could be looking elsewhere.”

until the 1996-97 school year to ob- tain a degree. However, there will be no Agricultural Engineering de- partment after March 1992 to ad- minister the approximately 30 students now enroled.
“Nobody knows what is going on, and if we don’t have a depart- ment who are we answerable to?” said first year Agricultural Engi- neering student Jayne Cheyney.
Cheyney will be one of the last to receive a degree in this program.
As for the effects on the Univer- sity, Hoover could not see an im- mediate impact on campus, but pointed out the importantareas that Agricultural Engineering does af- fect.
“We may not be big, butthat does not mean we are unimportant, es- pecially in areas of research and technology in agriculture.”
Agricultural engineers specialize in designing agricultural buildings and machines. They are also in- volved in water management and soil conservation.

Staff cuts force changes at Cameron
by Richard Mapa
There have been extensive changes at Cameron Library this year to deal with staff cuts made during the summer.
Returning students in the Facul- ties of Science, Engineering, and Medicine came back this term to find to a number of changes:
e The Science and Technology Library has moved its service op- erations from the second floor to the first.
e The Science and Technology Reference Services, Reference books, Current Periodicals, CD - ROMs, and Microforms have been moved from the second to the first floor. Also, there is no longer a second floor Reference Desk.
e The Telephone books for the United States and Canada, formerly located on Cameron’s first floor, are now on the second floor of Rutherford North.
e Non-Scientific dictionaries also have moved to Rutherford North’s second floor.
e Library fines may now be paid at the Circulation Desks of all the major libraries on campus. Previ- ously, fines could be settled only at Cameron Library.
The University Calendars, Re- serve Reading room, and IRC col- lections are still on Cameron’s first floor.
Sandy Campbell, Cameron’s reference librarian since 1981, said that most of the changes happened in order to increase staff efficiency. Because of recent staff losses across the entire U of A library system, the University’s Library Administra- tion felt it necessary to merge Sci- ence and Technology’s service op- erations with services already on Cameron’s first floor. This way, li- brarians can still field all sections of Cameron withoutinconvenience to

students.
Since the renovations took place, the smaller Cameron staff has been re-trained, and now operates from one vantage point in the library.
Campbell said that although the

Cameron Library has lost some personnel, Cameron staff have ad- justed exceptionally well and stu- dents will soon get the service they’re used to.

Be patient Campbell said that she would like to see more money come in to the University libraries to fund su- perior CD - ROM systems, and Medical Sciences and Humanities journal collections. She said that the prices have risen dramatically within the last five years. Campbell said thatan off-campus library storage facility, called the East Point Facility, is in the works, pending funds. When finally es- tablished, East Point will house all lesser-used material such as out- dated computer science or medical data, thus taking some pressure off the overcrowded storage facility already existing at Cameron.
New bar hours oroposed
by Warren Ferguson
Bars oncampus may extend their operating hours an extra two hours each night in an effort to curb drinking and driving, according to Students Union vp external Randy Boissonnault.
“We would like to extend the liquor licence to keep our students and potentially our problems on campus. If westopserving students at midnight, many of them may get into a car and go somewhere else until two in the morning,” said Boissonnault.
“Our argument is that once stu- dents get off campus, they can pose problems for the community-at- large, or themselves. If we extend bar hours, there won’t be the same incentive to party somewhereelse.”
Boissonnault said that the move would reduce drinking and driving, injuries and death. Longer hours would also reduce the university's liability in these cases.
Deliberations between theSU, the Board of Governors and the ALCB are ongoing. The ALCB hasalready approved the move, and is waiting for the Board of Governors to com- plete its review.
This move would affect the three SU owned establishments on cam- pus-- Deweys, RATT, and the Power Plant.

U of A students privileged
AsIsitat my deskin my room on campus, my textbooks lined up in front of me, I get excited at the prospect of the coming school year. I strongly feel the imminent op- portunity learn and grow. I am thankful to be here.
Iread and hear many complaints that tuitionis too high, studentloans insufficient and budget cuts so horrendous as to make, so it would seem, progress impossible. I am saddened by the tone ofantagonism in these voices.
I was born in Alberta, received a degree from York University in Toronto, and travelled, taught and studied around the world. My marriage having ended, Isuddenly found myself needing to retrain. Three-year programs in my area of interest could be found in England,
Israel or the United States. Each one of these would have cost multiple thousands of dollars per tem. Health insurance rates would have been astronomical in some cases. I sim- ply could not afford foreign study at this time.
I found an excellent alternative here at the University of Alberta. I applied for student loans. My province, my country, came through forme. Tuitionis affordable for me and I will have enough to live. Not only is health insurance comprehensive and cheap, I can even receive a subsidy on my pre- miums. Despite budget cuts, re- sources and facilities unimaginable in many other countries (or regions of Canada for that matter) areat my fingertips.
One cannot be made to see one’s
affluence or culture in perspective, I believe, without the education of travel. Therefore I can understand that some students may complain. To tell they should feel lucky or blessed is like hearing Grandpa comparing depression hardships with today; the concept just does not register easily. I for one do realize our privileges. I feel lucky and blessed. lam grateful to bea Uof A undergrad. Thanks to all those responsible for enabling me to be here. Best wishes to all members of the U of A staff in their respective responsibilities this year. P.S.

Last month the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the rape shield law, dealing another blow to Canadian women’s fightagainst violence. Only recently have women found thestrength to speak out against their attackers without fear of condemnation or blame. Less than ten years ago, the courts took a step in aiding this progres- sion by drafting a law that pro- hibited lawyers from probing into the sexual histories of women during rape trials. This effectively put an end to the use of women’s sexual behaviour as a legal excuse for rape.
The courts, however, are re- gressing. Thestriking down of this law indicates the Supreme Court’s belief that a women’s sexuality is in some manner connected with her rape. Rape is not a sexual act, it
is a violent act. To suggest thata woman’s past sexual behaviour somehow causes such an outra- geous violation of her rights is contemptible.
Justice Beverly McLachlin uses thin and far-fetched examples to support the casting out of the rape shield law. Her suggestion, for example, thata woman’s past
sexual history could be used as evidence that her alleged attacker had an “honest but mistaken belief that the woman consented to have sex” is ludicrous. This implies that a woman’s previous consent gives aman just cause to believe that her present “no” really means “yes” after all.
Womenare being forced to think twice before bringing their attack- ers to court. Therisk of facing public humiliation and condemnation for their private behaviour may cause many women to back away from pressing rape charges.
Although Canadian society is now generally accepting of women’s sexual behaviour, the personal biases of sexist judges may lead to discrimination against sexually experienced women. And
itis these judges who are entrusted with the decision to accept past sexual behaviour as acmissible evidence during a trial. We only need to look ata few recent cases to see the irony of the situation. In February of 1989, Judge Ken Peters commented that sometimes all a woman needsisa “slap inthe face,” and that suchanassault may notbe considered “unreasonable force” at all. In June of 1990 Justice Mark de Weerdt of the Northwest Terri- tories’ Supreme Court decided that awoman’s “offensive” t-shirt gave her husband just cause for assault and subsequently gave the mana light sentence. If one judge finds a t-shirt just provocation for a beat- ing, it is highly likely that another will find promiscuity just provo- cation for rape.
It is outrageous that women should beleftat themercy of judges during rape trials. Without the protection of the rape shield law, women are vulnerable to the ram- pant sexism in the courts. Instead of striking down the rape shield provision, thejustice systemshould be examining their own weak- nessesand failures. Only after these arerealized and corrected will there be justice for Canadian women.

Gateway wallows in filth
I have been a regular reader for many years. Even though I have graduated, I still pick up and enjoy the Gateway. However, I was an- noyed with the Sept. 10th issue. There was too much obscene lan- guage.
I do not want to oppress “free speech”; if people choose to use vulgarities, that is their choice. However, I feel that the University of Alberta is an institute of higher learning, not gutter linguistics. As such, your paper should demon-

The university is the place where professors do research and teach- ing and where students receive proper training from them. Ev- erybody should remember this basic fact. However stingy the government may bein funding the university system, every govern- ment does know the key functions universities do on society. No ad- vanced society could exist without a university.
This spring a scandalous event took place in Tokyo. It was dis- covered that a dozen first-year students cheated in theiradmission to Meiji University. The rich par- ents hired substitutes who wrote exams on behalf of their beloved kids. The amount of money each of them paid is simply incredible, C$100,000! Brokers fattened their private purse and gave a bonus of about C$3,000 for every success to students who took exams in place of cheaters. After the police in- vestigation, those brokers, who had been working officially in the registrar's office of the university,

What? No watches?
I noticed that on campus people may purchase food, beverages, paper, pens, (academic support equipment), clothes, alcohol and erotica. Oddly enough, nowhere

and one fourth-year student at Meiji, who had been playing a bridging role between the brokers and the substitutes, were criminally charged on top of their dismissal and expulsion from the university. Those substitutes who wrote exams were thrown out of their different schools (Meiji, St Paul, Keio, and Waseda). The twelve students who were expecting their diploma the following spring all forfeited a promising career that their good school names would have guaran- teed them. As a matter of course, those who snuck in were justifiably expelled from Meiji University. Why does this kind of incident occurin Japan? Itis simply because it’s very tough to get into universi- ties. On the other hand, it’s not very difficult to get through uni- versities until graduation, once you arein. Thus, you only have to getin by whatever means to earn a uni- versity degree and to get a good job with this degree. Students receive very meagre training for theamount of money payable as tuition fees.
They virtually purchase university degrees along with four-year-long leisure time by being protected from a hard, real life outside the campus. Askidsarespoiled,soare professors. They never have to worry about something like teaching evaluation. Easy profes- sors enjoy popularity among stu- dents, whoshoparound for courses they can get credits for with mini- mal work.
I can assure you that students at the U of A are getting a very good training for low tuition in the in- ternational standard. You should take advantage of what you are offered. Of course, academic work is npot everything ina campus life. You should gain all sorts of non- academic experience to become more mature. However, study isat the centre of student life. Work hard by picking the right courses taught by the right profs. Have a fruitful academic year!

Steve Notley expressed an opin- ion in his editorial in September 10th Gateway which is fairly un- common in our hide-bound Bible Belt of the North. He has the un- conventional idea that free speech is a principle and that the market- place of images and ideas should not be restricted to things which everyone is comfortable with.
Bravo. Inthis era, peopleseem to beable to get away with all kinds of intellectual sloppiness. You see things like people making the logi- cal leap from “you can’t yell ‘Fire’ in a crowded theatre” to “they
Censorshio must fail
shouldn't be allowed to run those pictures of GWAR in the Gateway.” Because free speech represents freedom of thought, the enshrine- ment of this principle represents the difference between a dictator- ship anda free country. And, tomy mind, this country is so close to the dictatorship of ‘Christian ideal’, ‘family values’, and welfare-state altruism thatany censoriousaction in the name of ‘morality’ (read ‘Christian ethics’) upsets me—even if it is ‘only’ the Gateway.
I have a pet theory that the look of the Gateway—the ideas ex- pressed in it and the editorial policy—reflects the future of the intellectual mainstream. for better or for worse some of you are going to be cultural leaders twenty or thirty years from now - journalists,
authors, church leaders, politicians, artists, and musicians. Believe it.
That’s why the Gateway has an importance beyond its ostensible roleas the campus newspaper. The clamour which comes up whenever anything controversial is printed therein is discouraging.
Itis crucial that the Gateway have as open an editorial policy as pos- sible. the university is a public in- stitution, heavily funded by the forcible extortion of funds from productive individuals. That isn’t a moral judgement—everything is funded by the same means nowa- days. I’m not sure exactly how the paper is funded, but even if it is financially self-sufficient, it carries the seal of that self-same Univer- sity. There are no competing “Offi- cial Students’ Newspapers” on
campus. We must not compound the crime of funding education by means of forcible taxation with the crime of excluding certain minor- ity opinions from an official organ of that institution.
Particularly troublesome is the nature of the anti-free-speech opinions. For the most part, they dispense completely with express- ing their own ideas in defense of censoring their opponents. Char- acterizing a racist or anti-homo- sexual opinion as “dangerous” or “unworthy” does not defeat it. Stating that an opinion does not require rational refutation pre- empts free discussion and is ex- ceedingly dangerous. Few are up- set when the technique is used against rednecks and fag-bashers, but we have seen those who said

that middle-class heterosexuals who don’ tabuseintravenous drugs weren't at high risk from AIDS characterized as “homophobic” (since they claimed that AIDS “dis- criminated” against homosexual sex practices). As a result, the po- litically correct media were able to work the heterosexual public into a panic over the epidemic which they said was “breaking into” the heterosexual population. This has not happened, but the condom manufacturers are alla lot richer. It is frightfully easy for discussions of morality to spread to affect politics and science in this way when the prevailing attitudeis that wemust be ‘protected’ fromcertain ideas. Bad ideas cannot be beaten by censorship; they must be coun- tered by better ideas.

THE SAVIOR OF ALL THE WORLD By Roger Mortis
“The abuse of the mental health of private citizens by this society’s so-called “saints insurgical gowns” is a crisis of such monumental proportions that I don’t have the words to”
“T CAN’T STAND INTOLER-
“When I woke up this morning, I hought to myself, “If my got- darned cat would stop weaving these baskets made of fish intestines, I could fi- nally get some sleep and stop worrying about all this soviet coup nonsense and how it relates to whether Madonna really ever did have // lesbian secks.” ’
How do these statements relate to each other? They don’t. At least, not on the surface. But I find that themoreI pursue the meaning of the TAO, that eastern concept of the unity ofall spiritual and natural forces in the universe, the more I become at one with the inherent humanity of my goldfish, Schmeke, which is what this article is really about.
Schmeke, my. goldfish, was once a large and beautifully free roaming sea creature who scoured the ocean depths, pursuing his daily plankton and musing over concepts icthyaurum. One day I had my face down in the water, playing with sweet and humble creatures of the sea as my boat bobbed in the waves and the fruit of Poseidon’s manhood washed its foamy self up on Gaea’s shores (or was it a Tuesday) when suddenly my saline-blurred vision focussed lustily on the perky breasts and sultry backside of Schmeke. Now, I know what you're
thinking: fish don’t have breasts. When I say breasts, I must really ask that you suspend your disbe- lief, because Schmeke maintained some type of xenobiological appa- ratus on his tiny torso that approxi- mated human mammaries. While it is true that I had rarely been attracted to fish in the past (except that swordfish on Monty’s wall. Oh! Istill walk strange when I think of it) I thought, “My, what lovely breasts. I must possess that fish as my very Own, and we shall live in concubinatory bliss for the length of days.”
With a testosterone maddened lunge, I emit- ted myself through the inky depths from the lofty refuge of the BLT-like boat, and ejaculated a mighty scream, 1 v7 which is what Isounded like under water, asI tried toscream “Melanie Griffith,” whichis what I tended to yell whenever I ejaculated orally. But from out of nowhere, unex- pectedly and suddenly, without warning, before I knew it, a beam of pure energy lifted me and Schmeke (whose name I was soon to learn) and into a waiting space craft nestled safely at apogee, just beyond Sherwood Asteroid. I got out of the transport chamber to find a gelatinous and tentacled crea- ture with a transparent mem- brane surrounding its gooey interior, inside of which was suspended dozens of beating organs, each one apparently a replica of Patrick McGoohan’s head.

I asked of it, “Hear, now. What want you, creature of the cosmic ooze?”
It said to me that I must return to earth to keep Schmeke (whose name I then learned) in a special forcefield that looked exactly like a fishbowl, for Schmeke is the dreaded Beastof Armaggedon, whosereign of destruction o’er the universe was fore- cast as grim, grey Ragnarok, the end of thingsand the culmination ofsweeps week. Ina blinding flash, [looked in my trousers to see myself engulfed with leeches, and when I awoke, I found myself pondering the unponderable, the mysterious, Sphinxian question to end all inquiry:

The Maltese Bodkin
at the Chinook Theatre written by David Belke directed by Patricia Stiles
by Gabino Vidal Travassos
Call me an asshole, but as much as I love Whyte Avenue during the summer, I avoid it during the week of the Fringe. I mean, there’s only so many trendy shitbags and cute families I can stand in a lifetime, and going to the Fringe is like a saccharine rush that makes you all sweaty and obnoxious. The only performance I managed to catch, by request, was Rabbit Dance, which was an amazing one-woman dance-comedy-horror show. Sure, I wanted to see others, but that meantrubbing elbows with thea lot of people and not being allowed to hit them (oh, the book sale was cool, and the onion cakes). So, look what I missed.
The Maltese Bodkin. It sold out every day of the Fringe, made the cut to the pick of the Fringe. and sold out there. So, now, the Chinook Theatre has picked them up for three weeks starting this Friday. They’re expected to do well on their own, whichis a major coup fora play written and produced in Edmonton. Word of mouth and very favourable reviews kept the Maltese Bodkin packed. I doubt they’Il live up to the label of “cult classic” that the Sun gave it—a phrase that made William Davidson blush—but considering the premise of the show, it is entirely possible.
Call me anasshole, but Ihave no idea who William Davidson is. Even today after I met
outstanding opening to new Alberta _ Ballet season
Alberta Ballet
Silver Anniversary Gala Jubilee Auditorium September 7th, 1991
by Robert McCarthy
Reflecting the elements of life that are forever oscillating within a constant state of change, the Alberta Ballet perfectly executed a retrospective of their initial twenty-five years through seasonal imagery that echoed the development within. _ As the opening notes of the “Onegin Waltz” filled the house, the evening assumed an air of celebration. The chorus of dancers magically transformed a balletic waltz intoa graceful ode to the beauty of classical ballet. Following a brief narrative, “The Balcony Scene” from Romeo and Juliet portrayed the delicacies of love as tenderly as any art form may. Within thesoft shades of spring Evelyn Hart and Rex Harrington unearthed a pas ex deux that touched the very heart of love.
Thenarrativeand theeveningitselfslipped from the foundations of the Company, the springtime of Alberta Ballet, into the reaches ofsummer. There were congratulatory mes- sages from notable politicians, an additive to any wonderful evening, and even a mes- sage from our mayor, a woman with the cultural refinement of a sewer rat. Despite these unwanted intrusions, the evening pro- gressed with an easy flow with the retro- spective recited with warmth and humour by Walter Kaasa. “Lyric Dances” concluded the first portion of the programme with wonderful choreography from Artistic Di-
rector Ali Pourfarrokh and continued excel- lence from dancers Jay Brooker and Barbara Moore. A ballet with hypnotic depth, “Lyric Dance”surrounded every sense with ten- der, sweeping movements and a unity of grace that encapsulated the assembly. The sheer perfection of the opening dances dis- played Alberta Ballet’s mastery in perform- ing classical and neo-classical ballet; the bril- liance of the Edmonton Symphony Orches- tra in their performance of the Tchaikovsky waltz, and the familiar Prokofiev piece from Romeo and Juliet, breathed life into art itself.
Following an intermission that displayed the pathetically incompetant flowing in full colour—those who belittle beauty by insist- ing upon the display of clip-on bow ties due to their inability to properly create a but- terfly—the Alberta Ballet continued the programme with “Liberté Tempéree”, the evening’s initial example of modern dance. Presumably the depths of this art form may only be fully appreciated following intense schooling; visually the ballet appeared to focus on numerous dancers rushing madly into the arms of nowhere.
The haunting themes of Debussey pro- vided an autumnal setting for the penultimate ballet of the evening, "Nuages", which again featured a pas ex deux from Evelyn Hart and Rex Harrington. The deli- cacy with which Hart eased into each bal- ance created.a form of elegance powerful enough to evoke tears. Upon accepting a congratulatory bouquet Hart tossed the flowers into the orchestra, completing a most gracious performance with the most grace-
ful gesture of the evening.
To conclude the metaphor the Alberta Ballet performed its signature ballet, Ravel’s “Bolero”. Reflecting the growing intensity within the score, the dancers probed their way through the myriad emotions that exist within the art of dance. The performance touched upon the very soul of ballet, and as the entire assembly rose to its feet upon the powerful conclusion, founding member Ruth Carse’s vision of a world class ballet company had been realized.
The deadline for subscriptions to a season of baletic excellence is September 27, 1991.....The National Ballet of Canada per- form Merry Widow later this month on the 29th and 30th of September, and Alberta Ballet perform the satirical, contemporary ballet, Carmina Burana November Istand 2nd at the Jubilee Auditorium.

him in Dooies for a beer and a burrito I still have no idea who he is. I happened to have missed him in “Boy’s Life’, at the Phoenix, and I didn’t see him at the Stage West when he was there with the Maytag Repairman, and he has been acting forover ten years, but I missed all these. Well, I’ll put an end to that ; this weekend, if I can get in.
So, I was going to mention the plot, and here it is: a drawling ‘40’s detective finds himself in the seventeeth century trying to figure out what this bodkin he finds means to everyone. He is accompanied by a musi- cian from both eras (Chris Helman on sax and Bill Damur on lute) and has to muddle his way through most of the Shakespeare characters, including Rosencrantz, Horatio, and Richard the Third. Even Puck (?). Some similarites to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead are apparent, but not imposing, as this is a mystery with a twist.
And. There’s a scene that was cut from the Fringe show that will be included in their performance at the Chinook. An entire nine minute scene that was clipped. The whole thing.
But you know what the best part is? The best part is that the play was written by David Belke, the brother of Muc and Bunt Belke, formerly of S.N.F.U. and now with the Wheat Chiefs! Isn’t that great! (Actually, this is my only personal tie to this play considering I hate the Fringe and I didn’t know who William was,)
So, it’s very film noir detective/ Elizedethan spoof. William Davidson inter- acts with the other characters like a nail puncturing balloons, and murders Shakespeare quotes with his Brooklyn/ Chicago mafia accent. Tickets are $12.00, and the show, which happens to be only one of two plays running in Edmonton this month, ends soon. See you there.

bob's your uncle returns
Bob’s Your Uncle at the Bronx Tuesday, September 17
by Gabino Vidal Travassos
This summer I saw an ad in the Georgia Straight (the Vancouver entertainment magazine) that declared that Bob’s Your Uncle was doing a gig at The Town Pump sans their spastic frontperson—Sook-Yin Lee—and were sadly called The Bob’s, and they rana photo of the groupasa whole with Sook-Yin cruelly cut out. Imean, what would Midnight Oil be like without a big goofy bald guy dancing like a tree, or Jerry Jerry and the Sons of Rhythm Orchestra without a sleazy looking Jerry ina slick suit mugging to the audience? Take away Sook-Yin and her tube (she plays this six foot tube like it’s a horn) and her box of strange percussic treasures, remove her bird whistle and her cow bell, and what’s left. A great voice, well sure, and she dances, okay, but, whatever, she'll be here.
Last time they travelled all the way from Vancouver to Edmonton I managed to catch BYU at the Power Plant, where there was no room on the dance floor and Sook-Yin and Bernie Radelfinger sold stuff after the show (including their own Bob’s Your Uncle comic book!). Two years ago they were picked up by Capitol Records, with the release of Tale Of Two Legs, which, as good as it is, is nowhere near as exciting as their live per- formance. I mean, any band that manages to strand the themesong to Spiderman between cabaret-style torch song and maximum land speed must be given some credit.
Tickets are $6.00 and should be available at the door (but don’t blame me if they’re
not). Coincidentally, the same price as the Shuffle Demons, who play next Thursday.

Conceivably, if you peered inside my opened head you’d probably see absolutely nothing that would remotely resemble artis- tic knowledge or expertise. Afterwards, you would probably smile dryly, close my head and, with some sardonic grace, walk away
wondering how I could possibly be quali- fied to express legitimate opinions on art. Well, if you please, read the above quotation thatis provided. Yes, the justificationis weak. Yes, the reasoning is unadorned. Yet it is inherently true, thus this review on the artis somewhat justified.
The Lasting Impressions show is a special exhibition of folio prints produced by fac- ulty and students in the Division of Printmaking and is intended to raise money for the Printmaking division of Department of Art and Design through the sale of dis-
tinctive print portfolios. Since there were plenty of artists presenting their work and

Couple (Ben Wong, woodcut/etching)— The stark black triangle reminds one of the ancient ziggurats. Strength through sim- plicity.
Ember Shadows (Liz Ingram, etching/ mezzotent)—A Kafkaesque experience.
Untitled (Charlene Olsen, etching)—Ter- rific clash of discordant angles and con- structs.
The Willer’s Nemesis (Mark Bovey, litho- silkscreen)—Might be mistakenly dismissed as cartoonish until the frenetic nature of the background composition is taken into ac- count. Thematically competent.
Male Psyche Jamie Cranfield, photoscreen print)—Preplexing and cool.
Transformation: Line Moves Toward Form (Michelle Lavoie, collagraph)—A sinewy, tight exploration into the dark roots and seed pods of the human condition. (I can’t believe I wrote that)

“What the hell is wrong with my face?" "Your face? What about mine?"
POISON at the Princess Theatre directed by Todd Haynes
by Alok Singh
“The whole world is dying of fright.” So begins Poison, the first full length feature film by director Todd Haynes. His previous work wasa short film, “Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story,” which used an all star cast of barbie-dolls. This highly experimental film achieved top honors (and outrage) at the Sundance Film Festival forindependent film- makers. Poison is a highly wound and often confusing picture. Figuring out what the heck it was about was no small feat. This is the sort of film that is destined to perplex, disturb, and anger a lot of people, many of whom you'll find at your local KKK meet- ing. Upon viewing this film, the only defi- nite thing Ican say aboutitis that this picture is not for the meek of heart.
/F UEKONS
HEAVEN\SENT
Poisonis actually three independent short vignettes. Homo is the story of John Broom, an inmate in the 40’s who falls in love with another inmate. Hero is about a young boy, Richie Beacon, who shoots his father and leaps outa window. The third story, Horror, is about a medical experiment gone wrong. Each feature is shot in a unique style and Haynes constantly switches from one short to the next, allowing the audience only a brief glimps of each story. The prison scenes of Homo are shot in low-key lighting while the reformschool flashback scenes are filmed with a dreamy fairy tale effect. Hero uses a series of interviews with Richie’s mom, teachers, neighbours, and classmates to re- veal an increasingly disturbing portrait of child abuse and wife-beating. Horror uses all the cheesy effects and blaring sound- track familiar to Robby-the-robot fans to tell the story of a scientist with a bizarre and highly contagious sex disease.

The only commonality in all these shorts is a depiction of societal and sexual decay. The overtly homosexual themes of Homo are shown to become twisted in the oppres- sive and cruel world of prison life. These men, many of whom are strongly attracted to one another are only able to show their affections through violence. Thus Broomcan only make love to the object of his desires under the guise of rape for fear of being labeled a faggot. As Hero unravels, the sad truth behind a strange kid’s behavior. A glaring headline in Horror, “Leper Sex Killer On The Loose,” is a blatant comment on societies views on homosexuals with AIDS.
Poison takes some time to understand and when you do, you probably won’t be smiling. All three shorts portray a dark commentary on society’s heavy handed moral attitudes and how these views victim- ize the characters concerned. The film has some pretty intense scenes. One shot had some reviewers leaving the theater at the Sundance Festival. Thescene had a groupoof youths shooting saliva and phlegm into the forced-open mouth of another. If you go to movies expecting to feel good, this flick is not for you. If you liked Pretty Woman, than you wont like Poison. If you think the PMRC is a fantastic idea, than this movie isn’t for you, either. I left the theater a little queasy, a bit disturbed, and greatly effected. If you’re like me, than this is exactly how you like to feel after a good picture.

Five quarterbacks will dress for Friday’s game, although Wilkinson is tight-lipped about who willstart.
Freshman quarterback Ted Everson has started the Bears’ opening two games. Wilkinson states that no matter who starts Friday, no fewer than three quar- terbacks will see some throwing time.
One of those pivots, rookie Shane Forwick, played all but three series during the Bears’ last game against the University of Manitoba Bisons.
The Bears lost 29-12.
“It’s a learning experience right now. Last week, I took a lot of punishment which was good in a sense because I got to play quite a

however, the Oilers organization seems to be quickly sinking in the National Hockey League salary quagmire. The term titan need no longer apply.
On the other side is the Univer- sity of Alberta Golden Bears - a team who in the CIAU hockey world indeed deserve the titan label from
a talent standpoint, just not from the physical stature standpoint.
At least, not up against the Oil- ers.

Golden Bear head coach Bill Moores echoed Yewchuk’s senti- ment.

The Bears under Moores hope also that the fans represent them- selves well. Moores, however, feels that the uniqueness of the match, as well as notoriety of the two teams, especially the Oilers, have made this particular night a staple for all interested Edmonton hockey

“The visibility of the game each year grows more and more,” Moores said. “They have a couple of draft picks who people want to see, and then also the games have shown tobe good in the past. People are showing more interest.”
And interesting should be what all involved get. Expect only the best hockey action from two teams who traditionally have done their very best.

Alumni brings home Bears
by Jay O'Neill
When the University of Alberta Golden Bear football team takes the field for its 1991 home opener, there will bea few pats on the back in the stands.
“Well, I think there will be a sense of relief that we're actually going to doit,” said Dave Rowand, Golden Bear Alumni president. “There will also be a sense of re- ward ifit does come off as we think it could and should.”
When the Department of Ath- letics axed the football program last January 14 due to deficit cuts, it was the Alumni that stepped for-
Bear - Dino shuttle service to Clark:
SUB prior to gametime $6 (includes game ticket)
ward to save the team.
Their initial goal was to raise the $300,000 to guarantee the team would play in the 91 and ’92 sea- sons. Rowand says that the Alumni has not yet reached that figure, but they have raised more than $168,000.
“We’reabout two-thirds to three- quarters the way to our initial goal if things are on budget,” Rowand said. “And that’s without really hitting the business community.”
Rowand stated that the Alumni will make a major announcement at Friday’s game regarding their fund-raising plans in the corporate community.
“I think we are looking for businesses that are established," Rowand said. "Businesses that are long term in town and that feel there is value to the community for this kind of a program."
He hopes this will have signifi- cant results for the long-term sta- bility of the program and the cre- ation of an endowment fund.
Rowand understands that fund- raising alone will not putspectators in the stands. Promotion and mar-

keting are the two areas where the Alumni can create an atmosphere that will attract fans.
“T think there is a recognition that in order to have a successful program you have to make people aware of what you've got to mar- ket,” Rowand said. "I think that the joint marketing efforts between what the University's doing, what the Alumni are doing, and the fact that the media are interested in the story has really raised the visibility of the program.”
For Friday's game, the Alumniis going into the bars and lounges
around campus putting up game posters and giving shirts to the staff advertising the game. The Student’s Union and the Kappa Sigma fraternity have set up a bus that will take fans from SUB to Clark Stadium and back. The cost of the bus ride is six dollars which includes a game ticket. There will also bea both beer concession and a food concession at the football game itself.
As well, the Alumni and the University have set upa post-game dance at Dinwoodie featuring Jr. Gone Wild. The first 625 fans into

WARNING
The Student Union Council meeting Tuesday evening turned up some important facts on the progression of the Golden Bear and Panda legacy fund. It seems that since its inception last year,a large number of students who areinvolved inathletic programs have chosen to commit them- selves to University of Alberta education. Hence, the result of the fund’s implementation has been beneficial to not just the Athletics’ department, but to the entire institution.

The finale of the Golden Bear Junior Invitational wraps up at 2 p-m. on Sunday with the two best tournament teams taking part. Taking part in the 1991 Junior Invitational are the St. Albert Saints, the Fort Saskatchewan Traders, and the Sherwood Park Crusaders as well as a Golden Bear representative team made up of junior age players. All three off-campus teams are in the Alberta Junior Hockey League with the Traders being the 1990- 91 North Division champions.
the game will be able to exchange the game ticket for a coupon that will enable them to get into the dance for free.
“Hopefully with that kind of package plus the fact the team is playing Calgary, willattracta fairly decent crowd,” Rowand said.
This '91 home opener brings with it a sense of excitement and opti- mism, but Rowand knows it is
going to be a long process.
“We knew this was going to bea difficult year, a transition year. Just getting the team back on the field was a real win for everybody. There’s a lot of rebuilding to do and there’s a lot of change that’s going to take place. We think ulti- mately, it will be a very successful program. It’s just going to take time.”

Field hockey Pandas go Hog wild
Panda pair Down Under on Canadian Olympic qualifying club
by A.K. Khullar
“What mighty contests arise from trivial things.”
Inalllikelihood, Alexander Pope (1688-1744) probably never saw a field hockey game, butnonetheless hissense of prophecy is remarkable. Trivial could describe the state of the University of Alberta Panda field hockey team in the scheme of sport on campus, but starting to- morrow with the York University / University of Toronto Invitational at Lampart Stadium in Hogtown, all that could well be changed ina hurry.
“Tt turned out great for all the teams who’ve entered,” said head coach Dru Marshall, who doubles as an assistant coach on Canada’s
National team. “It’s the biggest pre- season tourney that has been held in a long time as it involves all three conferences (in the CIAU).”
The prospects for the tournament look bright. Seven teams will compete in this pre-season tune- up including hosts York Yeowomen and U of T Blues, as well as the Guelph Gryphons, Waterloo Warriors, Manitoba Bisons, UNB Red Devils and, of course, the Pandas. Inrecent years, the Pandas have often battled the Guelph and Waterloo squads for wild-card spots in the CIAU play- offs. The additional look at each team in their final two tourney games could prove invaluable in the late stages of the season.
This 3000 mile journey is obvi- ously quite big for the generally stay-at-home Pandas who rarely venture beyond the competitive confines of the Canada West con- ference..
“This is really quite big,” Marshall said. “We normally don’t travel far for games. Themoney we got from the (Golden Bear and Panda Applied) legacy fund has proved to be a real boon for the program.”
The above fund grants money to the University’s sports’ teams de- pending on size, status, and/or need. As field hockey is not one of the more voracious sports on campus, funds granted to the team have beensmall. That changed this
past year as their application for increased funds was accepted and the above tourney was organized, chiefly on the iniative of the Pan- das field hockey program.
In ’91, the Pandas are a young team with only 5 returnees from last year’s squad. Also missing for the first part of the campaign are stars Tara Croxford and Heather Jones who havemade the Canadian Olympic team that is currently training in Australia. Team Canada is gearing up for the qualifying tourney for the ‘92 games in Barcelona. Only five of 12 squads will advance to the eight team competition in Barcelona, three of which have already qualified (Holland, a perennial powerhouse
in womens’ field hockey, Austra- lia, and Spain).
Twelve teams will vie for the remaining five spots in New Zealand in October. Losing two key members of one’s team to a higher level of competition has to hurt, but it speaks well of the cali- bre of the Panda field hockey pro- gram in general. Marshall, how- ever, is understandably low-key about the upcoming tourney. °
“It doesn’t really matter if we win, we’re just here to get some experience.”
Even though it is exhibition, the team of 15 is set and ready to jet over to Hogtown today with their first two tests tomorrow. Four more games will follow.
I guess every young person dreams, once they have found their niche in life, to follow in the footsteps of those who succeed them.
Last fall I had the chance to spend time (how I wanted more) withsports writerand broadcaster Dick Beddoes. I was talking to him about his latest book. Hockey’s Greatest Stories, he called it. While the book is far from the greatest I have ever read, the author was by far one of the greatest sports’ media spectacles this country has ever seen.
More often than not, Dick Beddoes was larger than the story he covered.
Even as far back as his days at
the University of Alberta, writing sports for a tiny campus newspa- per known as, Beddoes had his trademark fedora and snappy clothes that separated himself from the conservatism of the time.
He quit school, said he didn’t likeit because his calling was sports and there were better things to do, and moved to the east looking for fame and fortune. He found both, landing himself a columnist posi- tion with the Globe and Mail.
Those times, he would tell me, wereaseasy as stealing candy from a baby - living life on a press pass, staying in the best hotels, eating good food, and writing whatever the hell he felt like.
But writing was not the only
Dick and I:
former Gateway editor leaves fond memories
thing that Beddoes was good at. His boisterous presence was much soughtafterin broadcasting as well.
Asaresult, Dick Beddoes, media giant, was born. This would be a four decade long love affair with anarea of the media, sports, that he called a playpen.
He was fired from his job at the Globe (never would tell me why), but continued to work on a Don Cherry’s Grapevine-like sports program out of CHCH television in Hamilton. Watching Beddoes work his craft, I was introduced to Bobby Orr, Guy Lafleur, and Glen Michibata (he plays tennis).
It wasn’t the athletes that made the show, but Beddoes. His cut to the bone wit, those suits, that hat,
those questions. . .good watching for a young kid from northern Alberta who one day hoped to be like the grand master.
Ithink Beddoes’ big message was just to have fun. Our discussion even touched on Milli Vanilli (Beddoes was much too opinion- ated to talk about just sports). He said that if the two mousse kings could lip-synch their way to fame and fortune, then why couldn’t he get a group together and call the troupe the Stubborn Stains?
His message was not to take this merry-go-round called life too se- riously and you will be fine. Live on the edge.
Beddoes did just that until he died August 25th of liver cancer.
Before he left the tiny room at CJSR, a room he transformed into a big playground, he signed my copy of stories:
“Thanks for having me at the sta- tion where I started calling Golden Bear games. Down with Davenport and up with the Stubborn Stains...”
If at the gates of some cloudy cocktail bar in the sky Harold Ballard, his old friend, was to say, “Dick, before you get a drink, tell me, did you help anyone down there?” He can safely say yes, be- cause I will never forget the talk we had. I learned that whether or not I make it in this field, it ulti- mately won’t matter if it isn't fun.
Sit back and have a drink, Dick, you have earned it.

Kick Bears christen 91 season in B.C.

Len Vickery hopes the road is good to him this weekend. The University of Alberta Golden Bear soccer coach needs it to be in order to get set for a quick start out of the gate in the 1991 Canada West sea- son.
This weekend, Vickery and the Golden Bears travel to Vancouver to begin their exhibition season with three games..Capiiano Col- lege, the Calgary Dinosaurs, and the UBC Thunderbirds will chal- lenge a young, inexperienced Bears’ squad who will be without two of last year’s top players, defenseman Burk Kaiser and for- ward Murray David. Kaiser is awaiting arthroscopic surgery on his foot that could make him doubtful for the season opener, September 20th in Calgary. David, in the meantime, is completing his stint with the Canadian Soccer League’s Nova Scotia Clippers,

who have back-to-back playoff games against the North York Rockets this weekend.
Despite the missing players, Vickery is optimistic about the team’s challenge this weekend.
“It gives us a chance to look at some of the younger players and give them some experience that they can take into next weekend’s opener.”
As well as new players, this year’s edition has several new as- sistant coaches. Sean Fleming, a former Golden Bearand staff coach at several national soccer camps, joins the staff along with Dave Phillips. A former player ofnational level talent, Phillips also brings ball experience and leadership to the staff.

the long run.
“We want to establish ties with the Alumni so they can become more involved with the current team.”
This weekend’s games are criti- cal for the Bears if they want to get off to the fast start that they will need to stay ahead of tough com- petition in Canada West.
“Hopefully, this weekend will bring the team together, give us some high caliber competition, and allow us to make final evaluations on players,” Vickery said.
Having only had a couple of practices to date, this weekend’s games will goa long ways towards determining the fate of this year’s team.
The Bears’ home opener is on Friday, October 4 (kickoff at 2 p-m.) against the UBC T'birds. All games are played at the Faculte Saint Jean fields located at 8406-91 Street.
soccer Pandas invade the Far North Classic
by Bob Hall
The University of Alberta Pan- das’ soccer team is back at it hard for the 1991 season. This weekend, they willbe playing in their second exhibition tournament in as many weeks.
It is off to Vancouver to play in the somewhatbizarresounding Far North Classic. Put on by Simon Fraser University, the six team tourney will consist of the Pandas, the UBC Thunderbirds, and three teams from American Universities. Since Simon Fraser plays in the N.A.LA. (American Athletics) the name “Far North” seems appro- priate.
It is the first time Pandas’ coach Tracy David and the squad have made the trip to this tournament. And after going to the final last weekend in.the University of Calgary Invitational, coach David
rates their chances as “very good” for this weekend.
As for the regular season, it will kick off in Calgary on Friday, Sep- tember 21. By then, final cuts will be made and the ladies will be ready.
“It’s not unrealistic for us to win (the national championship),” an optimistic David said, “but we must keep everyone healthy.”
With the addition of CIAU All- Canadian Sandy Faulkner from Memorial University in New- foundland, and therest of last year’s teamreturning, coach David hopes to improve on the ’90 second place finish.
“Calgary is going to be tough,” David said judging from last weekend’s tournament in Cowtown. “Wecan’tloseone game because of the playoff system, we can’t even tie.”

Lindros: like all other ordinary superstars
The biggest headline these days (besides the Postal Workers’ strike,
the Public Service Alliance strike,-
and the massive Oilers walkout) is Eric Lindros. The other day, my mother asked “Who the %@#$! is this Lindros character?” (I’m paraphrasing). My brother Rick told her and then responded that he was adamantly opposed to Lindros’ actions . I found myself in the curious position of having to defend Eric Lindros.
Previous to this, I had taken the common stand of hating Lindros for his hold-out against the Que- bec Nordiques. After much thought, however, I soon realized thatheis simply doing whata lot of NHLersare doing. If Mark Messier, > Andy Moog, Paul Coffey, Jimmy Carson (hmm...alotof Oilers here), and Pat Lafontaine can request a move, why shouldn’t Lindros be allowed to do the same? By looking at recent developments, Lindros should be entitled to the same right as these other players. And those who say he hasn’t yet proven himself haven’t been watching the Canada Cup. There he is on the same ice as Gretzky and Messier. He managed to impress Mike Keenan enough to beat out Yzerman and Sakic for a spot on the team. There is no doubt that he
can play with the pros.
Eric Lindros has demonstrated remarkable resiliency for a mere eighteen year old. A simple(?) contract dispute has been turned into a debate over French nation- alism. The situation couldn’t be more perfect for the Quebec media. All-Canadian (ie: Anglophone) boy spurns French-Canada. Sacre Bleu! The Quebec media has interpreted his every word and movement as an affront to the French culture (despite the fact that Lindros has said that he doesn’t mind Montreal - the media seems to ignore that).
Over the weekend, Steve Smith said that he had reservations re- garding trade rumours of him and Kevin Lowe being traded to Que- bec. Yet no one batted an eyelash.
The Nordiques themselves can- not really be faulted for the furor. Understandably, the Nordiques management have their hands tied. Not drafting Lindros (despite his assertation of not signing with Quebec) would have beena stupid move, since he was easily the best player in the draft. On the off- chance that they did sign him, the fiscal constraints would have been enormous as well. What some people don’t know is that ace Nordiques centre Joe Sakic has a clause in his contract which stipu-
lates that he be the highest paid .
player on the team. So if the team pays Lindros the reputed (but highly doubtful) three million dollar price tag being bandied around, then they would have to pay Sakic three million and one. The longer the hold-out lasts, the
better the team looks (and the worse Lindros looks). Perhaps the general public (and especially the Quebec media) should give Lindros some slack. Since junior hockey, Lindros has been under the microscope. The media have increased the pressure
on him. He has taken a stand, and is sticking to it under the most try- ing of circumstances. He deserves some respect for that. Hopefully, the non-furor of Monday’s hockey game shows that perhaps some semblance of common sense and understanding exists.
