Left off Voting List

Students Face Possible Eviction

VANCOUVER (CUP) -­Enumerators listing voters for a municipal referendum on housing left off thousands of students and Chinese Canadians, according to five civic election candidates filing suit against the city.

November's election ballot includes a question gauging Vancouverites' opinion of a 20-year-old law banning the "secondary suite", defined as a house subdivided into two or more homes -- such as a homeowner renting out his basement.

And residents -- including a large number of students -- will be evicted as early as December in wards which favour the law, says New Democratic Party civic candidate David Levi.

"I think it is crucial for students to know the mayor has said wherever the vote comes up as "no" for illegal suites, they are planning to start immediate evictions," says Levi.

Students Stand Against Apartheid JOHANNESBURG (CUP) -­

Police forces walked in as some 4,000 assembled here on the campus of the University of Witswatersrand to hear Winnie Mandela discuss the white elections in South Africa, May 4 last year.

The outdoor meeting was banned 10 minutes before it was to start and 129 academic staff and students were detained following an afternoon of violence and tear gassing. In protest Wits and the University of Cape Town closed on election day, May 6.

In the face of National Party apartheid rule, it has not been easy for South African Universities to maintain academic freedom and autonomy, given the extension to the University Education Act which enforces racial seperation.

Passed in 1959 despite a massive campaign in which 7,500 faculty members and students marched in protests in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Grahamstown. the Act has led to the establishment of seperate black schools, forcing universities that wish to remain "open" to black students to seek special ministerial approval.

In their stand against apartheid, the open universities of South Africa -- the universities of Cape Town and of Natal and Rhodes University -- have refused to discriminate on the grounds of race in the admission of students and the appointment of staff.

Despite the Act, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of black students at the open universities. In 1976, 5.6 per cent of the students at Wits, UCT and Natal were black. In 1987, there were 21.3 per cent black students.

The increase is a result of a relaxation in the need to obtain 11inisterial permission as well as the schools' comittment to non-

racism. To compensate for the educational inequalities of apartheid, programs for disadvantaged students have also been provided.

Open universities are part of the movement for a democratic South Africa. A number of white students who have little direct experience or knowledge of apartheid and the conditions in black townships are made aware of the issues through contacts with black students and the activities of the National Union of South African Students.

Widespread student protest at open universities by both black and white students stem from such an awareness of the discriminatory nature of South African society.

P.W. Botha's failed stralegy of "reform apartheid" and the imposition of the state of emergency in July 1985 increased the student protest at the open universities. The protests are usually spontaneous and peaceful, but are portrayed in state­controlled ·media as violent. Conflict is often sparked by police incursions on to campus.

The nationwide student protests in late April and May of 1987 received international media coverage. These protests were directed towards the international media simply because the South African Government failed to be moved. These protests provoked strong counter-reactions such as the use of birdshot at UCT and police dogs at Rhodes.

The state's response to student protests has traditionally centred on harassing and detaining student leaders -- a number of academic staff and students are currently detained without charge.

Such measures have resulted in a lack of direction within student politics and create a climate of fear. Street ·. marches are no longer permitted. There has been a

growing sophistication in police c0ntrol through the use of helicopters, the monitoring of protests with cameras and the use of informers and agents provocateurs.

Nevertheless, the government believes these measures are insufficient to control the rising tide of student protest. National Education Minister F.W. de Klerk, imposed regulations universities must follow to obtain government subsidies -- which constitute about 80 per cent of their funding.

The new regulations stipulate university councils must prevent the staff and students from using university property for "the promotion of the aims of any u11lawful organization" and "the promotion support of organizing of any boycott action" against any film, product, article or educational institution.

Similarly, staff and students not permitted to support civi

disobedience or to encourage members of the public to strike or stay away from work.University councils are requested to inform the Minister of Education and Culture of any incident of unrest or disruption on their campuses within 21 days and to say what steps have been taken to deal with it. The minister then notifies the univesity if the step taken are adequate-- if not. the minister may cut the university's subsidy.

Although Afrikaans univer~ities have expressed a willingness to live with the conditions. open univesities have rejected them.

To protest, Wits. UCT. Natal and the University of Western Cape held general assemb~ies in October 1987. At Wits over(S.OOO people attended the general assembly, which was followed by an academic procession. At UCT some 4.000 members of the

university showed up to show their support.

The immediate threat of the regulations seems to have passed when the Cape and Natal Supreme Courts ruled earlier this year the minister does not have the power to cut university subsidies in thi~ manner. However. the government could simply introduce new legislation to override these judgements.

Whatever happens. the outbreak of student protests at the open universities cannot be solved by order and discipline -- for the protests spring from indignation with a government that denie~ freedom of association and i~ unwilling to relinguish state power to the majority.

Women's University Dumps Morgentaler From Agenda

HALIFAX (CUP)-- The only women's university in Canada will not be welcoming Dr. Henry Morgentaler as he embarks on a tour of the Atlantic provinces.

Mount Saint Vincent University student councillor Kelly Fisher tentatively booked Morgcntaler. the controversial physician who operates abortion clinics, f_g.r a_n appearance on Oct. 20. But after negative comments from students and staff. Fisher abandoned the project.

The university. located just outside of Halifax, is a non­denominational institution with Catholic roots and a student population made up of 80 per cent women.

Fisher said the first sign of opposition came from an ein the university's public relations office.

"She brought up a lot of good points, saying that it wouldn't look good for the school, it being a traditional Catholic school," said Fisher.

The employee declined to comment, saying she did not reflect the policy of the department.

Fisher next went to the administration, to arrange for the school auditorium's moveable dividers to be removed.

The physical plant employees indicated they "couldn't promise the walls would come down."

Administrator Anne Eade cites a simple explanation: "That's because one of the walls is broken.

WHO? Who do you want to govern Canada?

That's a serious question. On November 21, Canadians will answer.

Brian Mulroney and the Progressive Conser­vative government understand that the world around us is changing, and that our challenge is to manage global change to Canada's benefit. Since 1984, the P.C.,government has put Canada on a solid footing.

Who has more at stake than Canada's youth?

Before you vote, consider the facts.

LEADERSHIP Since the P.C. Government was elected, the youth unemployment rqte has fallen from 18.3% to 12.2%. This progress must continue.

COURAGE The P.C. government has led the western world in taking a firm stand against the Apartheid regime in South Africa._

VISION The P.C. government has produced Canada's first Environmental Protection Act, which carries harsh penalties for polluters.

These are some of the issues which concern young Canadians. In four years, Brian Mulroney and his government have made great progress. Support the P.C. government, and the progress will continue.

Who should we elect? · The P.C. Government.

WHO ELSE!

We have no direction from administration."

Fisher decided not to press the issue. "We're trying to keep peace with the administration."

She also found many students were less than enthusiastic about the idea of having Morgentaler on campus. "When I went around asking people, they weren't so much interested in what Dr. Morgen taler had to say, they were more interested in the controversy he'd cause."

Student council president Paul Card supported Morgentaler's visit. "I think the university is a place where people should have broad enough minds to listen to one side of the story," he said. "There are obviously some narrow minded people within the university."

Drunken Students Improve

(Source: The Campus) LENNOXVILLE, Que. (CUP)

-- First year students at Bishop's University are more literate than last year's bunch - or perhaps simply less drunk.

Almost a third of Bishop's 526-strong first year class failed a compulsory literacy test last year. This year 15 percent failed .

The tests are held in the middle of orientation week activities and many students last year said they were drunk when they wrote the exam.

Students are asked to write a simple, 400-word essay on a general topic .

Bishop's requires all students to pass the test before they can graduate. Students that fail must take a remedial writing course.

Tory Record On Nuclear

Weapons, Disarmament

TORY RECORD ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS, DISARMAMENT

By James Young Vancouver (CUP)-- Following

his election victory in September 1984, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney SIJliled his broad trademark smile and spoke in the smooth, carefully modulated tones that would become even more familiar over the next four years. With Mila at his side, the Prime Minister modestly congratulated Canadians on their choice, and launched into a theme that he had used frequently during the campaign.

"There is no cause more urgent and more necessary for your government than the reduction of the threat of war and to further the cause of peace," intoned Mulroney, acknowledging the tremendous responsibility the nuclear age had thrust upon its leaders.

The Prime Minister went on to remind his audience that peacemaking was a Canadian tradition.

Brian Mulroney doesn't talk so much about peace these days. Well into the 1988 election campaign, neither Mulroney nor his Defence Minister Perrin Beatty will agree to a televised debate on the country's defence policies.

In fact, when peace activists recently tried to question Mulroney on Canada's proposed

Students Face Eviction

when they realize the evictions could start so early."

Levi points out there are 85,000 fewer names on this voters' list compared to the 1986 version.

Muriel Honey. an official at the mayors office, says the plebiscite is nothing more than an opinion poll. "It is not a binding decision. There would be a consultant and a series of hearings before anything happened."

Levi estimates there are 20 to 30,000 illegal suites in the city, many of them located in East Vancouver, a section of town with large numbers of students and tenants of Chinese ethnicity who weren't properly notified about voter registration.

"People were left off the voter's list. but it wasn · t random -­students in particularly. Most of them finish school around April or May, then go off to do whatever jobs they have to do. But registration started at the end of April," said Levi.

There are 30,000 post-secondary students in Vancouver and there is no way of calculating how many live in illegal suites. The city's vacancy rate is currently less than one per cent.

"If you have any kind of mass eviction, we are talking about massive rental increases. And you know for students it is already hard enough to find housing," said the NDPcandidate. "Ifyouevictall the people in illegal suites, you'll have to put them in apartment buildings. And people ... will have to decide if they want to have an apartment building next door to house students."

.University of British Columbia student council president Tim Bird feels the issue is important and urged all students to register. He indicates however student housing is not one of the council's ptiorities.

Fatigu.e ·and You By Liana DiMarco

Is it physical? Emotional? Biological? Psychological? Exactly what is fatigue?

One thing is certain; fatigue is real and we all experience it. Nancy, for example, is more than a medical secretary. She is a domestic engineer, a mother of three, a counsellor, a social convenor, a travel agent, a teacher and much more. If there were more than 24-hours in a day, she might be able to get some restful sleep. .... ··-

The Canadian College Dictionary defines fatigue as the condition of being very tired as a result of physical or mental exertion, a loss of energy, lessened activity, and a decreased response to stimulation. Women desribe it as the ultimate frustration.

In her book,Women and ~. Dr. Holly Atkinson discusses the elements in today's world which contribute to excessive fatigue in women. They are stress, allergies, excessive dieting, PMS, careers and families to list just a few.

But wait! There is help. The best way to fight and decrease constant tiredness is to learn to recognize your personal fatigue symptoms. Some women experience more physical symptoms, while others will feel more mental symptoms.

main symptoms and their correlation to other factors, you need to develop new ways to cope with exhaustion, identify the factors in your life causing it and decide what to do in order to promote a life free of chronic fatigue.

Physically, there are a few steps you can take to boost up your energy. Food not only affects the chemicals in the brain; it is also our source of fuel, essential minerals and vitamins. A deficency of carbohydrates will starve the energy-producing machinery in cells throughout the entire body, thus resulting in fatigue.

The most important sources of energy needed by the body are minerals. They are lost daily and must be replaced to avoid mineral deficency. There are 20 minerals known to be needed in the diet and are most readily accessible in fresh, unprocessed foods. These minerals include major electrolytes such as potassium and trace elemnets such as cobalt.

The body also requires vitamins to regulate the metabolic proc~sses. A deficiency or excess of vitamins can result in mental or physical weakness.

A great way to boost your physical energy is exercise. The more fit you are, the more you are capable of without feeling tired. Exercise builds more energy producing machinery, fights the fatigue-causing processes, speeds

up the metabolic rate as well as slowing aging, preventing disease and prolonging life.

One important factor many women overlook is mental health. Some of the internal and external conflicts which contribute to mental anguish are discrimination, low self-esteem, and excessive nuturing. The nuturing role is tiring in itself but conflict about playing the traditional role is exhausting. Women's aspirations and ideals have changed but for the most,

their unconscious mind is still behind a generation. Caring about others is a great strength but it can become a weakness. If women fail in their attempts to nuture, it can lead to dissatisfaction, boredom and chronic tiredness.

These types of conflicts can be resolved by learning how to balance pleasure and mastery of your life. To do this it is necessary to boost your own ego, develop your identity, resolve conflicts and balance your life.

Remember, fatigue can be a sign of a more serious problem. You may be affected by allergies, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, blood disorders or endocrine disorders. Get a physical check-up, talk to your doctor and rest your body and mind.

An excellent source of detailed information on the causes, treatments and dealing with fatigue, is a paperback edition of Women and Fati~ue.

Enrollment Rises Again Reprinted from the C.I.E.A.

Newsletter Thisis the second consecutive

year of substantial increasesin post-secondary enrollment. Enrollments at B.C.'s colleges reached record highs last year, increasing nearly I 0%, according to newly availabledata from the Ministry of Advanced EducationandJob Training. And Colleges around the province are reporting even greater enrollment increases this year.

Ministry statistics show that in 1987/88 over 54,280 students

enrolled at B.C.'s fifteen colleges. That's up 9.6% from the 1986/87 figure. The greatest increases were in university transfer courses - up 14.6% - and college preparatory programs - up 16.3%. College enrollment was at an all time high last year, but the record didn't stand long.

Enrollment at Colleges this Fall is even higher. Colleges are reporting increases in enrollment of up to 20%. Registrations in September increased 16% at Capilano College, 12% at Douglas College and Kwant len College,

and 20% at East Kootenay College. While firm enrollment figures for this Fall will not be in for some time, it is already clear that more students than ever before are attending B.C.'s colleges.

This Fall B.C. institutions again faced the task of coping with a rapidly growing number of students with less than rapidly growing resources. In spite of the Ministry's announcement of $8.32 million to fund additional spaces at colleges. demand for post­secondary education outstripped supply.

Fascist Federal Statute Oppresses Our Right To Be Drunk

Robert Gough

by Spiff Jones

Why is our society determined we will vote sober?

By federal law it is not legal to sell liquor until 8 pm on election night. Apparently this is so the electorate can make a thoughtful, rational descision in the poll booth. Right.

Let's get down to brass tacks here. Consider our choices in the upcoming federal election. Done? Okay, who wants to vote for any of these bums sober? I personally don't think any amount of alcohol abuse (which I am more than capable of) will make any of them seem palatable. However, it would give me. an excuse for my actions, i.e. "Well, sure I voted for Turner, but I was pissed out of my brain at the time." In fact, if I was to drink

The advent of the '80's: a new game played by those with money, power, and fifty secretaries, that allows Megacorporations to purchase virtually everything on the Earth. The various oil companies are either owned by OPEC or Exxon (the oil conglomerate of America). These in turn, own very many other companies. For example, Sega is owned by Tonka, which is owned by Hoffman-LaRoche, which is owned by Exxon! Who, I wonder,

owns Mcdonalds, and thus owns "over 60 billion" people? How about Canadian Tire? Woodwards? Capitol Records? Coke? Coke owns Columbia Pictures! Pepsi? Pepsi was the 2nd soft drink in the U.S.S.R! Where next? Are the boy scouts really a front for the CIA? Or is our PM really in league with the Flat Earthers? The OP slavebeaters of the whims of the Administration? My point? Beware the machines of ignorance; don't read the papers; don't watch any news; THEY ARE WATCHING!

enough it is entirely possible the next day I wouldn't remember who I voted for at all, which is kind of a nice thought.

Here's another reason to be in favour of election day drinking. As it currently stands, there is no real suspense involved in an election. We all have a pretty good idea of who's going to win well in advance. Widespread alcohol abuse on the day in question will put the suspense back into politics. Election results will actually be exciting to watch as the 'drunken vote' begins to elevate obscure candidates into competition with the major parties. The Rhinocerous Party could conceiveably form the next federal government! I could be elected King! Sorry, I got carried away there.

Another thing . Isn't this law an infringement upon my rights? As a 20-year old Canadian citizen, I have the right to be intoxicated whenever I want, as long as I'm not endangering someone else. It's in the constitution or something. Of course, you could argue that by voting Rhino I am endangering others. But hey, that's my perogative.

In light of the preceding article, I feel it is highly likely the federal government will change this questionable law. However, in case they don't do so in time for this election, let me take a moment or so to advise readers to procure their liquor supply in advance. And remember, a vote for the Rhino party is a vote to eliminate indecent exposure laws.

Free Trade, How Will It Affect Canada and the United States

Militarily. by Ernie Regehr

.,. ··-Military production firms in

Canada fear "free trade" will not give them increased access to the gigantic US military market. Others worry it will tie Canadian military industry more tightly into the American military economy -­and, therefore, tie Canada more tightly into American security policy. Both concerns need attention.

While negotiators (at time of writing) continue to haggle over the finishing touches to a legal text for the Canada/US free trade arrangements, the US Pentagon and Congress are increasingly interested in reducing Canadian military sales to the US --despite the Canada/US Defense Production Sharing Arrangements (DSPA) . In what the Financial Post described as "one of its more glaring gaps," the proposed deal "failed to expand -- or secure -­Canada's decades-old special access to Washington's defense budget, this year worth nearly US $300 billion." On top of that, the Pentagon, under pressure of Congress, is reviewing its current practices of buying military components from Canada and elsewhere. US deficit- cutting means pressures on Pentagon spending, and Congress wants to keep. as much possible of that spending at home -- there are currently I 0 separate legislative proposals before it which would restrict Canadian military sales to the US.

The proposed free trade agreement will not touch this element of US protectionism. And that, in tum, may increase the political price to Canada of maintaining access to the US military market. Access to that market has always had a political price. During the nuclear weapons debate of the early 1960s, the Air Industries Association of Canada argued in favour of accepting nuclear weapons in Canada on grounds this would solidify access to the US military market. "We cannot," said the AIAC president of the day, "go on expecting Washington to take politically difficult decisions that face us. If we don't take nuclear arms we must be prepared to face the consequences."

The point was Canadian access to the US military market is a "break", a privilege perhaps that comes in a spirit of co- operation that must be reciprocated. Twenty years later the AIAC was making the same point with regard to "Star Wars". They said the government's failure to provide active support to the Strategic

Defense Initiative meant Canadian firms were being locked out of the SDI market. The Pentagon, they said, is "bitter" and has closed the door on Canadian SOl contracts (although not completely). And even though Canada is currently

answer will be when the request comes?

but it could add some new ones.

running a substantial military trade deficit with Washington, a US lobbyist told the Financial Post, "Canadian firms still have to expect to lobby hard for every contract they get in Washington ."

Without guaranteed access to the US military market, Canada must constantly negotiate (or lobby for) ~uch access. And to negotiate you have to have something to throw into a deal -­the two prominent Canadian offerings being a) increased Canadian military purchases in the US, and b) political co-operation. Canada has been providing both of these for a long time, in a variety of way.

The US buys military commodities in Canada neither out of altruism nor necessity, but out of self interest. Part of it is simply cost-cutting external competitors, Canadian. European, or Japanese, encourage American firms to control costs as well. In the long run, however, the American~ see military production co-operation as integral to military policy co-operation. US support for the DSPA has been premised primarily on the need for .a continental approach to defense, and, as the AIAC already knew in the 1960's, continued access to the US market rests on a continuing spirit of co-operation. Referring to Canada's concern over the Pentagon's review of imports, the F ina ncial Post says " Ottawa believes Canada should have been exempted from the review because of its special and deep-rooted tradition of close military co-operation with the US .... "

The more determined Congress becomes in reserving the US military market for American firms, the greater wi II be the political price "of securing continued Canadian access to the same market. Shared defense production that is based on a spirit of policy co- operation is unlikely to suffer much nonco-operation from the junior partner. Past Cunadian co-operation has included, notably, cruise missile testing. If a continued market for Canadian military products is related to testing the next generation of cruise missiles (stealth and supersonic), is there any doubt what the Canadian

balance" on military trade, which means extensive Canadian purchases in the US. American influence over Canadian procurement, and over the military roles filled by this equipment, is well documented . The equipment itself comes with military roles and policies built in, and through that with political assumptions about military threats -- when you stock your Armed Forces with American equipment, you also equip them with American perceptions of threat.

Added to this is the fact that an industry oriented primarily toward the American market inevitably contributes to the full range of American military equipment -­which in tum means that Canadian industry develops a stake in continued American deployments and may very well blunt Canadian political opposition to those same weapons (e.g. the cruise missile, the MX missile, the Minuteman missile and so on). Finally. the development of a significant military production industry in Canada that is oriented, not to production for Canada. but to export markets, inevitably leads to efforts to reduce dependence on a single market, the Pentagon. and to efforts to diversify by pursuing sales in the third world more aggressively -- giving Canada a growing stake in the international arms trade.

A free trade agreement will not reduce any of these political costs, but it might add others -- the inter-church coalition on global economic issues, GATT-Fly, suggests two.

A free trade deal that provides the US with equal access to Canadian natural resources will not only deplete those resources. without an opportunity for Canadian supply management to protect future Canadian needs, but it will make Canadian resources key strategic resources of the US and mobilize them in support of America's conventional and nuclear arsenals. Secondly. a free trade agreement could add pressures to make military production central to Canadian industrial strategy. While the agreement will in general view government subsidies to industry (say, as a means of attracting

industry to less industrial regions of the country) as unfair competition, and thus prohibit such subsidies. support to military industries will be an exception. In order to assure a defense industry capacity, both sides will reserve the right of public intervention on military industries. particularly the right to subsidize them. If this is so, it could mean that when the federal government contemplates regional industrial incentives. the only instrument available will be

the subsidization of military industries -- resulting in a built-in prejudice toward using military production as an instrument of an industrial strategy. Thus it would be perfectly acceptable to subsidize Litton Industries to move to Nova Scotia to produce antiaircraft weapons components, but it would not be acceptable to subsidize Sydney Steel Corporation to diversify the civilian economy of the Atlantic region .

If you had had the chance to see U2 live at the filming of Rattle and Hum. having only to pay 5 bucks American for seats in the 13th row .centre stage. you would have gone. right? Yes. You would have. I didn't. I would have had to reschedule my flight from Arizona. re-arranged my ride from Toucson to Tempe. and found a place to sleep for that extra night. O.K .. I should have gone.

I know now that I should have gone because I just saw the movie. here in Vancouver at the Stanley Theatre.

The best part about the film is how well the band's individual. separate personalities are portrayed. Bono. the Edge. Larry and Adam are just regular guys who just happen to have become mega- stars. An example of this is how surprisingly silent Bono is through-out the interview sequences. You'd think he'd be the one to do all the band's talking. since this is usually the case with major rock bands: the lead singer is the most visible. so he can do the talking. That isn't the case with l!2. Bono asks."ls film expensive?".

and that's it. The rest of the band gets to have their say. Another bonus: only when the band is onstage does politics enter the picture, otherwise. the film is devoted to showing U2 as they rehearse with B.B.King, or touring Graceland, recording at Sun Studios in Memphis, or just being a bunch 0 'fun guys.

The live sequences are absolutely electric, and it is easy to see why U2 has reached the height they have. Bono reaches into you, pulls you out of yourself with his impassioned singing. U2 may not be one of the best bands in the world, but they inspire something in their audience,in themselves even. that makes up for any lacks they may have.

The movie is shot entirely in black and white. transfering to color only during the live performance. which may be a minorcomlaint. If you like U2,you will probably love the movie, so go see it and indulge. If you're one of the doubters. one of the surprising many who think U2 is too big for their breeches, with egos to match, then maybe you should go see this movie too: it'll certainly change your mind.

The script, by Samuel and Bella Spewack, adds another dimension to the Shakespearian theme by following the tempestuous offstage love affair between the

Being a cashier there, or even a cook, is very good experience, and employers respect people who are willing tb tolerate being a slave. Besides, the wages you'd be making would force you to stay on at your parent's house, and you could HIDE from the REAL WORLD, pretending that life is just like high school, where you can get by with a dumb grin on your face.

look Forward to Next Time. Illuminating Memories

Artist Faye Logie is compelled to draw people into her house- or into any house. To the Port Moody artist, the house contains the warmth and security of childhood, the mysteries of past inhabitant's lives

and the keys to the present. In the last two years, Logie, 35, has worked on a series of oil paintings and collages entitled House Works,- a study of

both the physical house in which she was raised and the "dream house," a sense of inwardness or self-exploration. Her new series centres solely on two elememts of the home: the fireplace and the lamp. It is this collection, entitled Fire

and Light, that Logie is showing at Douglas College throughout November. The exhibit consists of five or six large oil-on-canvas pieces which will inspire viewers to search their own memories.

Logie's fascination with the house and its images wastriggered by the death of her parents. Her personal loss, and her decision to purchaseher parents' home and live there, sent her on an exploration of her own past as she recalls it as a child and how she sees it now.

One of her first reactions to living as an adult in the home where she grew up was a fear and awe of the basement."That was Dad'sspace ... you weren't supposed to go there," shesays.The awakened ties with the past brought on by exploring the basement opened her mind and her eyes to the realization of the strength and significance of a house.

Her House Works series allows her to do some searching. "It's almost an exploration of childhood agian," she says. "''m relating it through the eyt<s of a child, and come away concluding something."

The principle elements in her Douglas College showing, the lamp and the fireplace, have central themes. They represent warmth and comfort for both physical and spiritual needs. These images also give a sense of daydreaming, which in tum ignite imagination and memories.

The specific objects she's chosen for her works have notonly personalmeaningbutalso go beyond her ownexperiences and mcrmories. They are shared objects in the sense they are elements familiar to all who inhabit homes and create their own memories there.

"The objects are familiar and done to the point of realism. They are identifiable," she says, adding, however, that with close examination, each viewer's memories will be stimulated.

The exhibit at Douglas College is Logie's sixth single exhibit. She has held other showings in Vancouver, Richmond, Yictoia and at Banff Centre School. It runs to December 5 in the Douglas College Theatre Foyer Gallery and the Library.

JOHN TURNER: ''The Mulroney trade deal would radically change the kind of Canada we believe in. Change the way we look at ourselves, the way we think about ourselves and the way we are. I'm not going to allow Brian Mulroney to sell out our birthright as a nation. I'm not going to let him reverse 120 years of history that made us unique and different. I'm not going to let Brian Mulroney destroy the Canadian dream.

And that's why this is more than an election, it's your future. On November 21, vote Liberal. .,.,
