Unfit For Office? By GLEN KORSTROM

Incoming SFSS president Christy Clark was almost prevented from taking office this week.

Clark failed to pay her election fine by the deadline established by the electoral standing committee (ESC). She could be deemed a stu­dent in bad standing with the stu­dent society and therefore constitu­tionally ineligible to begin her term as president starting May 1.

Fines were levied as a result of unity candidate Steve Vanagas handing out copies of the Liberie newspaper during the voting period of last Spring's elections. Liberie contained a column written by Van­agas promoting the unity slate.

"I'm a student, I'm not made of money"

—Clark

Due to this incident, all unity forum rep candidates were fined ten dollars and all executive candidates were fined sixty dollars.

" I 'm a student, I 'm not made of money" Clark complained.

Clark delved into the SFSS Con­stitution, and Rule.s and Standing Orders to argue her defence. "They have to give people thirty days from the date the notice is mailed accord­ing to R6.5 of the Rules and Stand­ing Orders."

Letters informing unity candi­dates of their fines were mailed on April 11, but candidates were only given until April 30 before the letter said they would be deemed mem­bers in bad standing with the soci­ety.

Clark paid her fine on May 8.

"It was simply a case of them not doing their homework," said former unity candidate Gerald Christenson, referring to the ESC not giving candidates the required amount of time to pay their fines.

Resource Coordinator Steven Howard said during Monday's SFSS executive meeting that the bylaw Clark quoted from referred to forum and not the ESC. The ESC is a subhisions made by the ESC is paramount to having a political party in government try to control the decisions of Elections Canada.

"The ESC only has a responsibil­ity to give candidates a reasonable length of time to pay their fines and if the winners take office on May 1, it is reasonable to expect the fines to be paid by that time."

Clark countered that, "Just as Elections Canada is bound by exist­ing Canadian Laws, so is the ESC bound by SFSS rules. For the ESC to believe they can act outside the rules is clearly an abuse of power."

Many forum members specu­lated on the vagueness of the regu­lations.

"You can interpret the [rules] in any direction you choose

—Wahl

" I f you take a good look at all of the rules that apply to all of this, you can interpret them in any direc­tion you choose" former forum chair Tom Wahl commented.

Clark admitted that the forum policy on this issue was "muddy".

A precedent was set last year of candidates paying their fines late and yet being able to keep their elected positions on forum.

" I paid late last year," Clark maintains. "A lot of people paid late and they were able to keep their seats I know that for sure."

Citing past forum reps Mike Shaw and Gord Dumka, Clark con­tinued her defence by saying that if the ESC was going to ignore pre­cedent then their integrity could be called into question.

History rep Nikos Harris thinks "the matter can only be resolved through clarification of present rules or enactment of new ones if the old rules are deemed adequate."

Though clearly marked as a one way route, the road that feeds the mall parking lots and bus routes is frequently taken for access down the mountain by careless drivers.

This tends to happen at night, and is probably the result of excessive drinking and/or macho thrill seeking. The results to date have been nothing more than few cars being run off the road.

Eventually someone is going to be seriously injured. The solution: University officials have already blanketed the area

with "WRONG W A Y " signs. There is little chance that a sober driver can misinterpret the road for a two way route. Those who do are obviously too drunk or foolhardy to worry about the welfare of others.

In American campgrounds, devices have been installed to prevent drivers from using the maze-like roadways for racing. Bolted into the width of the road, they consist of a yellow steel plate with hinged, saw-like teeth.

When a vehicle passes over these teeth in the correct direction, they fold into the plate and form a smooth roadbed. But when a vehicle attempts to go the wrong way, the teeth stay up and cut into the offending vehicle's tires. These traps are clearly marked with signs saying 'ONE WAY - SEVERE TIRE D A M A G E " . The University needs to install such devices in order to correct this very dangerous situation. S T A L A C T I T E S Due to leaks in Rotunda area, stalactites of melting cement have formed on the roof above the bus loading area. These have been here for several years and have been growing continuously larger. It is only a matter of time ti l l they break off, possibly injuring somebody. Let's leave such dangers to the spelunkers of the world. Solution: The university should get the appropriate department of maintenance to remove these spears.

Ex-Pres Paul: Honoured Member

The winged avenger is on permanent

By RACHEL G O D D U

Paul Mendes, former student so­ciety president, is a lifetime honour-ary member of forum, the new forum decided at its first meeting Wednesday.

According to Stephen Howard, student society resource coor­dinator, only two other people, former SFU president George Pederson and former SFSS presi­dent Rob Clif t , have been granted this privilege.

Philosophy forum rep Gary Hack proposed the motion which set off a round of discussion as to whether Mendes' contributions were truly outstanding and merited such an honour.

Understandably some new forum reps felt unable to make a judgement on this matter.

Eventually forum voted in favour o f the motion, citing Mendes' dedication and hard work over three years as an executive member o f forum, particularly his involvement in the Freeze the Fees Campaign.

Forum also voted in favour o f two major capital outlays: micro­computers for the student society costing $14,355 and a new photo­copier valued at $10,250 to replace one that died recently.

By NICOLE LAU RENDEAU and BRADLEY CHARLES CAIRNS

"Before I went to El Salvador, I didn't do anything. I was just the typical guy who liked to drink a fair bit on the week-ends, had a summer job and went to university. But I was overwhelmed by the apathy of those around me, to the point that I thought 'well, forget it'. I couldn't get any sense of satisfaction from doing anything here." E. F. D.

O n Tuesday, May 16th, the Central America-SFU student Alliance

(CASFUSA) will be hosting a former student of the U of Mani-returned from El Salvador in January. He was wounded in a grenade attack by the Military Forces in the village.

Fox-Decent's story starts in 1987, when he made the decision of joining an international aid organization, so he could con­cretely work toward the cessation of human right violations in El Salvador.

On May 1st, as Fox-Decent and his Canadian co-worker Vrsnick were sitting on a bus, Barrera appeared again. He stopped the vehicle, pulled the men off and took them away. Then he threat­ened that he was going to kill them. Evan remembered that the only way out was to show no sign of weakness. So he and Vrsnick stood still, terrorized, but stoic. The corporal eventually let them go.

Shortly after that a grenade exposed in Panchimilama, killing a village official and injuring four people, one of whom was Fox-Decent.

HISTORY

E l Salvador ("the Saviour") is one of the many Latin-American countries where

the exploitation of peasants by white 'conquerors' has been con­tinuous throughout the last four centuries.

Since 1932, thousands of people have 'disappeared', and have been detained by the military. Guests speakers at the recent Conference of the Disappeared, hosted at SFU,

In the meantime the corporal kept firing his M16 over the detainees' heads.

Most of these organizations require specific training in special­ized fields, so Evan was dis­couraged quite a few times.

Finally he ran into Chrizpaz, the Organization of Christians for Peace in El Salvador. In September '87, he and two friends thus headed down South, where they first learned Spanish and undertook an orientation program preparing them for the task ahead.

Then they were sent to Pan­chimilama, a small village where refugees flee to when escaping army raids.

There the three Candians helped with the crops. Salvadorean young men are not numerous in Pan chimilama, since they are either killed or recruited in the army, so Evan and his friends were most welcome. Also, an international presence in a threatened area always offers protection to the people.

One Sunday however, Evan was surprised by a man "who had no shirt, and had red bumbs all over his body". The man explained that he had been molested by corporal Oscar Barrera, a Civil Defense soldier. As he and two companeros were walking down the road, Barrera stopped them and forced them to lie on an anthill for over an hour. In the meantime the corporal kept firing his M16 past the detainees heads.

After hearing the man's account, Fox-Decent convinced the three Salvadoreans to report Barrera to the American Embassy. The men did so, but their action merely resulted in the corporal's relocation to another area. There was no trial, nor any apparent intention of prosecution.

repeatedly spoke of "genocide" and of the "complicity of the US government".

According to Fox-Decent, human right violations had reached such an appalling level by 1984 that Church leaders were saying, 'Aren't they going to run out of bodies?' •

The University of Manitoba student newspaper reports: "The civilian government has no control over the military. Recently, evi­dence emerged that children were being kidnapped and killed for their organs. It was initially blamed on the rebel forces, but a human rights commission discovered that it was being run by high-ranking military officials. The case was brought to trial, and the one judge

"Aren't they going to run out of bodies?

who had the courage to try to prosecute them was assassinated."

The F M L N , the leading leftist rebel group, tries to organize peasants and to defend them against mil i tary attacks. The victory of the right wing party ARENA at the last 'democratic' elections has resulted in an increase in the number of death squads, and the F M L N has had to multiply its attacks against the military bases. The Salvadoreans are tired of this most recent civil war, which has been going on for eight years. A l l they want is to be able to rebuild the country, and to enjoy a peaceful life.

Evan fox-Decent

STUDENTS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!

T he example of Evan Fox-Decent and of many other Canadian and American

students (like Phil Tamega, from SFU, now living in Honduras), who decide to leave a comfortable lifestyle to play an active part in the global struggle for justice, is thought-provoking. There is some thing more to life than what we see and perceive in our immediate surroundings. There is more to it than the dream of a "perfect life", framed by the '9-to-5, three weeks holiday' model we are trained to crave for.

All over North America, students are being increasingly sensitized to the problem of their oppressed peers around the world, and they are taking action.

The Central America-SFU Student Alliance is looking for people who are willing to dedicate a bit of time and energy to help students in Central America. Look for our table on Club's Day, and sign up as a member. We will let you know of our plans for the next few months.

In the meantime, please attend the presentation TUESDAY M A Y 16TH, IN AQ 3149, AT 12:30 PM. You will meet Evan, who will answer your questions and co-present a video that was recently produced in Vancouver by the Canadian Foundation to aid El Salvador.

Linda Perry, who was part oi the crew, will also talk about the filming of the documentary in Santa Marta, where refugees are returning after years of exile, and she will give information about

the ongoing projects of the Foun­dation.

Fox-Decent is not defeated. He is hoping to enter the medical school in Winnipeg, and to return to El Salvador with this new skill. The Canadian refugee support worker is still under cultural shock. " I was out last night at a bar and the band was playing. They went on a big spiel complaining about Autopac rates. I just thought 'Jesus Christ, 99% of the world would just dream about having to complain about Autopac."

We can heal this tortured and agonizing culture

True. It is hard to get the right information through the regular media. This is why associating with like-mined individuals to find out 'what's really going on' is so important. In order to help correct this unjust system, people are needed: us. We must inform ourselves, voice our opinions, and work toward a real change. Our position as Canadians is privileged due to our social freedom, so we must cooperate to help bring forth safety to our fellow university students, as well as for all the people living under oppressive regimes, so we can heal this tortured and agonizing culture.

PAGE 4 THE PEAK MAY 11. 1989 NEWS Rents on the Rise?

By NIKOS HARRIS

Students could be facing in­creased campus costs once again depending on the outcome of the next Board of Governor's meeting.

There is presently a motion be­fore the Board to increase the rents for Louis Riel House by 30$ a month, and 30$ a semester at the McTaggart-Cowan, Madge Hogarth and Shell residences.

The proposed increase, an­nounced during last semester's final exam period, is based on a market survey of rent increases in the surrounding Bumaby area.

The proposal is meeting stern op­position on campus. There has been

a strong, we 11-organized campaign in the residences to compile peti­tions and letter writing campaigns to voice their opposition to BOG over the proposal. Diana Schroeder, vice-president

of the Louis Riel Tenants Associa­tion, opposes the increase on a vari­ety of grounds.

She feels it is not only based on an unfair and inaccurate survey in­formation, but is also creating an unfair "disparity in the amount of increases between resident build­ings."

Schroeder also worries about the impact the proposal will have on families in the residences, who are already facing an average extra $60 per month for campus daycare. "For some students," Schroeder says, "the increases will mean that 50% of their incomes wil l go to rent."

The Simon Fraser Student Soci­ety has struck a committee to inves­tigate the situation, and take action to oppose the proposal i f it deems the increases unfair for campus re­sidents.

SFSS President Christy Clarke feels the increases, whether they are just market trends or not, should be implemented.

"Campus residents are con­stantly facing higher daycare, tui­tion, and food costs, and any further increases in their expenses cannot be tolerated," says Clarke.

BoG will be making a decision on the matter at their May 23rd meeting.

NEWS Quebec Students Face the end of Tuition Freeze.

By CHRIS LAWSON M O N T R E A L (CUP) — Quebec's tuition fee freeze is sacrificing re­search excel lence for accessible mediocrity, business leaders say.

Pierre Lortie, president of one of Quebec's largest supermarket

' chains, urged about 1,200 business leaders at a recent Montreal Chamber of Commerce meeting to start a "large pressure movement to correct underfunding."

"The current policy favours mediocrity, rather than supporting conditions essential for achieving excel lence in research," he said, re­ferring to Quebec's tuition fees which have been frozen since 1968.

According to a study by two Uni-versite de Montreal professors,

> only about 15 per cent of Canada's "star" researchers work in Quebec while 4 5 . 8 per cent work in On­tario.

The studies, presented to a recent provincial summit on high technol­ogy, said researchers stayed away from cash-starved Quebec univer­sities.

Lortie said the province should inject $225 million over three years into university funding and that Quebec's two "real" research in­stitutions, the Universite de Montreal and McGill , should be the main beneficiaries.

Lottie's speech comes on the heels of a similar effort by Serge Saucier. Saucier, head of a large Quebec marketing firm and presi­dent of the Universite de Montreal's Ecole des hautes etudes commer-ciales , said tuition fees should be raised to the Canadian average.

"To maintain tuition fees at their current level under the pretext of equal access to university is the best way to condemn all universities to mediocrity," he told the Chamber

of Commerce in November. Almost 150 business leaders,

many of whom sit on Quebec uni­versity boards of governors, also signed an open letter to Liberal Pre­mier Robert Bourassa asking for a tuition fee hike, along with an in­crease in financial aid to students.

"There's a price to pay for excel­lence, but we're convinced that in the long term," the letter read, "it would be infinitely more expensive to condemn our universities to mediocrity."

According to education ministry statistics, 50 per cent of Quebec's roughly 100,000 full-time univer­sity students receive no financial aid.

Of those who do, 46 per cent receive only loans — average $ 2 , 3 0 0 . About half are awarded bur­saries. Of these, 60 per cent get less than $ 3 , 0 0 0 and only six per cent pocket more than $ 5 , 0 0 0 .

According to a 1986 education ministry study, an average Quebec-university student lives on $5 ,255 if living at home, $8 ,016 if living on their own.

Less than 15 percent of full-time students receive loans and bursaries in excess of $ 5 , 0 0 0 .

Leaders of Quebec's student fed­eration say tuition fees are a false solution to the problems of univer­sity underfunding.

"There's no reason to believe the province will actually use the money from the fee hike to improve the quality of education," said Jean Pierre Paquet, a researcher for the Association national des etudiantes et etudiants du Quebec.

A study done by the Ontario Fed­eration of Students showed that while Ontario tuition fees have kept pace with inflation, the provincial government has reduced operating grants.

"Tuition fee hikes are the govern­ment's cue to reduce their funding," Paquet said.

Tuition fees account for about $100 million — seven per cent — of the provincial budget for univer­sities.

-According to Quebec statistics, government subsidies per student decreased in constant dollars by 68 per cent from 1978 to 1985.

"Business has always wanted to reap the benefits of an educated so­ciety," Paquet said, "But they re­fuse to pay for the costs them­selves ."

Quebec Liberal policy is to gradually raise tuition to the Cana­dian average, while increasing loans and bursaries, should they win the next provincial election.

By POPPY BARN Everybody has heard the story

of how Ralph Nader became in­terested in consumer advocacy when his mother Rose Nader re­fused to let him eat weiners. "Who knows what they put into those things", she told him. So he decided to find out.

But fewer people realize that Nader was also responsible for the creation of campus-based public in­terest research groups (PIRG's) in the early 1970's. "To tie student's education to social issues", BC PIRG tells us.

There are now over 125 PIRG's in North America, with 10 of them in Canada. In the States, all PIRG's are joined by a national umbrella organization which deals more with national issues, but such a structure does not yet exist in Canada.

"We would like to see that [a national organization] happening in Canada as well", said David Sims, chair of the local BC PIRG board, "but it would take a fair bit of effort from people to bring that together."

The SFU BC PIRG recently had a planning retreat to discuss priority issues.

"Right now our priority issues are recycling and hazardous wastes—waste management," said Sims.

One important area of current study is household wastes. "We've just been looking at the whole range of products people just dump down the drain or throw in the garbage," said Sims. "Thirty per cent of the hazardous waste being-generated in BC is from households and small business people specifically excluded from hazardous waste legislation."

The positive response to BC PIRG's spring referendum means PIRG will now be a mure democra­tic organization

"The referendum v\ as lo change the local constitution lo make elec­tion to the board ot directors coin­cide with student societ\ elections. This vull make it less costly, and it seems people vull he more in­terested in that ><>n of ihing at that t ime." S n i i v S.IKI

ARTS & REVIEW

Lou Reed - New York Sire/Warner Bros.

Lou Reed has made a social comment album that could be the best album of the year. In New York Reed has painted a smoky picture of the American urban ghetto using greys and drab whites and the occasional blood red. Probably best known for his album and title track "Take a Walk on the Wildside" (And the black girls sing/Doo-de-doo-de-doo) and for songwriting Lou Reed has finally broken into airplay with his first single off the lp. "Dirty Boulevard" in which he laments a Hispanic boy's inevita­ble spiral into drug dealing.

Although neck deep in cynicism New York does not suffer from a lack of melody. Un­like the plain mutterings of Tracy Chapman (forgive me) these New York stories are car­ried on with memorable melodies, underlin­ing the fact that Lou Reed is just as good a musician as he is a storyteller.

A mammoth 14 song collection Reed rec­ommends that it be listened to "in one 58 minute sitting, as though it were a book or a movie." Every song is faultless although "There is no time" a hard rocking tirade, seems out of place. The first track, "Romeo and Juliette" is a beautiful tale, beginning the story of a Hispanic couple romancing in desperate surroundings. "The Last Great American Whale" is a contemporary fable with NRA members, racists, and Indians as the main characters. "Good Evening Mr. Waldheim" blasts the hypocritical speeches

of politicians, with Jesse Jackson and the Pope as targets.

As a songwriter Reed is superior in the use of his words, each sentence a biting remark visually exciting. "Romeo Rod­riguez squares hisjbed gives off a stink then smells her perfume, in his eyes." His brutal lyrics have, at one time, the shock of a gunshot, and then the exactness of a knife. "Sam was lyin' in the jungle/agent orange spread against the sky like marmalade."

The music is excellent. Relying on a spare band; 2 guitars, bass, drums, Lou Reed or­chestrates the twisting harmonies to make each song a distinct statement of its own. But in New York there is no compromising good music for a good statement, each com­pliments the other perfectly.

The Proclaimers -Sunshine on Leith (Chrysalis/MCA)

Gorgeous, with guts. The Proclaimers are Craig and Charlie

Ried, twins from Scotland who belt out the oomph of raw life through thick working class accents.

They emerged last year from the noise of northern acid house nausea (thanks to The Housemartins) with a churning melodic trip through traditional/folk-rock, a sound that wraps you up in thudding realism like so many fish n' chips.

Example: "Cap in Hand" is a riled-up offense of apathy and fatalism, yet surprises you with the honesty of lines like " I can tell the difference 'tween margarine and but­ter /1 can say Saskatchewan without starting to stutter..."

"My Old Friend the Blues" is a Steve Earle cover, a slide guitar dreamer to slowly slip into a stupor alongside, while the teeth gritting sorrows of "What do You Do?" toast the realities of Thatcher's dream; " I painted fight on.factories/But they closed the fac­tories down pal/I want to find out where the hearts gone/Find out where the nerves gone".

It's so clean, powerful, raw, and thought provoking it can't be real. Filtering thick harmonies through a do-it-yourself attitude, this is folk for a land gradually tearing itself apart from the inside. You get the message with a grinning thump about the head.

—James Glavt

The Pogues - Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah 12" (Island/MCA) Booming.

Shane and friends keep reminding you that getting piss-faced drunk and hitting things over your head is still the key to real satisfaction.

The cover is a nasty stab at psychedelic revivalists, with gory looking eyeballs and a horrible screaming red wash colour sleeve. Joke, stupid.

Oh, the song is a lot of fun. Seven mi­nutes or so.

4 : Robyn Hitchcock n' the Egyptians - Queen Elvis (A&M)

"Hi! This is Ben Queezywog from the Washington Embalmer. Is it true that you're a bit weird?"

The return of Robyn, as expected (or not), :is painfully good. This follow up to Globe : :of Frogs doles out the magical mix of psychadelia and poppy rock with the same :frosty finesse and chocolate charm. What ::makes the sound as appealing as it is? four ^possibilities...

1) Anything taken wildly out of context : and put where it doesn't belong is very im­portant.

2) Lyrically, the man offers something : that cannot be compared to all that many. : Longing to be inside the circulatory system : of the Queen is a good example.

3) Humor. " I know who wrote the book of love / It was a fool / A slobbering fool with a speech defect..."

3) You can dance to (most of) it. Throw in the bonus guitar help from

• REM's Peter Buck, a sprinkling of neuroses and plenty o' liner notes and you've got a package fit for more than wrapping fish and

: chips. "Not if I can help it mate", he grunted and

•hung up.) I f there were no wondrously insane, the

world would implode. Before lunchtime. —James Glave

Fine Young Cannibals - The Raw and the Cooked (I.R.S/MCA)

Roland Gift is just that. You already know the cannibals are

geniuses as a result of their mega single "She Drives Me Crazy", no doubt one of the smoothest soul-pop ditties to emerge from England so far this year. The album contains ten such wonders, and begs the musical question; how much of this can you take standing still?

I f you resemble a human, the answer is never. The shaken up mix of 50's soul ("As Hard as it Is", 'Tell me What") and modern dance ("She Drives Me", "Don't Look Back") proves that when you put raw and cooked on one plate, the result is anything but lukewarm.

This LP wil l save the world. From Wet Wet Wet and affiliated musical mucous. Be­lieve it, then receive it.

—James Glave

XTC - Oranges and Lemons (Virgin/A&M)

What? Do I hear accusations directed to­ward Mr. Partridge of being too "sentimen­tal" and "sleepily nostalgic"? Oh, dear, he's writing about his father and his childhood again isn't he...

Actually, yes and no. The double LP is terrific, wistful at times, thumping at others.

"The Mayor of Simpleton" and "Merely a Man" are the oomph to the grooves, the former being a melody minded working class anthem of love and the latter being an ode to "lifting humanity higher".

An affectionate ode to the penis can also be found, as Partridge muses "I 'd like to take you out and show you 'round the world". Bet you'll be hearing THAT one on commercial radio. Unoffensive, unpretenti­ous, and funky.

Oranges and Lemons tastes tart and sweet, as Partridge wrestles with a few blis­ters in the closet of the mind ("Chalkhills and Children", "Cynical Days") and inter­rupts to jumps on life's trampoline for a bit ("The Loving").

"Welcome to a garden of earthly delights/ Welcome to a billion Arabian Nights". Close the door behind you, it's awfully cold in here.

—James Glave

The Go-Betweens - 16 Lovers Lane (Beg­gars Banquet/Polygram)

I f I was to listen to "intelligent love song" based pop at it's most insipidly sappy, this would be the one. Sadly, 16 Lovers Lane is a pale follow up to the corrugated creativejrcolour painting. You've put hun­dreds of hours of effort into presenting and perfecting the hues of red and warm oranges, immaculate blendings of emotion' laden colour. Then cry all over it, washing the shades into one generic mess, with a few bright spots. This is the effect. This is the result.

Those few bright spots are in the driving "Love Goes On!" and "Quiet Heart" which sounds vaguely like U2's "With or Without You"

The album is good in that it challenges the tripe of love- pop with lyrics like "Yes my world's tumbling stone by stone to the ground/Please take out the garbage", but loses it in the picture as a whole (I 'm carry­ing this analogy too far...) in being too... uh, blah.

He shut the manuscript in his desk for two years because he didn't want anything to do with it. Then, after it sold more books than any of his other novels, Stevie decided to write the screenplay.

The book was okay, as I remembered. I don't remember squeezing the Coke in my hand until it burst and sprayed all over the three front rows when I read the paperback. I certainly didn't choke on my popcorn turn­ing the pages. Stephen King writes like a demon but I didn't remember this book about zombies and cats as anything excit-

So, let's get past the hokey plot. Young doctor, beautiful wife, tow nice kids, and a cat that looks like muppet set up in a nice New England country house to get away from the city. There's nothing wrong with the house—it's the surroundings that bring down the property values. First, you have a funny looking neighbor played by Fred Gwynn (Herman Munster). Second, you have a killer road with tanker trucks barrel­ing down it every five minutes like they escaped off the set of Maximum Overdrive. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, there's a pet semet­ary in the back lot. No, it's not pet cemetery as in Erol Morris' Gates of Heaven, it's Pet Semetary as in a creepy wooded place where generations of kids have buried their dogs, cats, goldfish...people. But that's not too special. I mean, everybody's got a buried hamster underneath Mom's roses, right?

There's a place beyond the semetaryThat used to be a Micmac Indian burial ground. The ground has some neat properties Tike you plant your dog and the next morning Lassie comes back oozing pus and blood, but alive nevertheless. Kind of like Bel-Air and the Reagans.

The predictable happens. One day the country doctor has to peel his daughter's frozen cat off the roadside. Score one for the speeding trucks. But daddy loves his daughter so much he can't bear to tell her that the kitty's dead. So he hikes up the burial ground and plants the cat.

And the cat comes back, the very next day.

Everything is fine except that the cat stinks, and gets really, really mean.

It could have ended right there. So far, director Mary Lambert has given us a couple of false scares, but scares that drive girls to the theatre next door. Okay, so far. Most people are thinking, Cujo but with Garfield. Relax, it was nothing so lame.

A few days later, in a truly horrible scene, the doctor's baby chases a trailing kite onto the killer road. Right on cue a big two ton tanker"truck (how's that for a tongue twis­ter?) rolls down the hill . This scene had the whole audience in a coma until the next shock. You can guess what happens next. Zombie babies from hell.

The plot was predictable but the suspence was as sharp as a knife. There was a lot of (tasteful) gore to make the audience groan in disgust. The acting, however, was just adequate. Fred Gwynn's southern twang was convincing but Denise Crosby's (the doctor's wife) cardboard emotion was pain­ful to say the least. She should have stayed

jin Starfleet uniform, where acting isn't such la requirement (Don't worry, she dies—and 'comes back).

It was the baby and the scalpel that really made me i l l but not because it was poorly done—I'll always leap for cover whenever I hear that baby's laugh. It was the exploi­tation. I mean, what mother or father would let their child be used in such a disgustingly terrifying movie? Can you teach a kid to act like a psycho? Or does the kid think it's all a game chasing people around with a bloody scalpel in his hand? This brutal movie probably convinced a lot of prospec­tive parents to review their plans. (Come to think of it, this movie would make a good abortion plug. Uh oh, I can hear Yvonne scream.)

Excuse me whilst I throw up.

Psssst! Wanna hear a little secret? We've been telling you for a long time but you aint listening. So, one more time, we'll tell it to you straight. The Peak'll pay for your date.

Oh, we won't pay your bus fare or tip the waiter and we sure as hell won't find you a date but there's a little something we can do. We'll get you into the theatre-movies-acts-danceshows-screenings-festivals-artshows-concerts-readings-workshops absolutely free. All you have to do is

W R I T E F O R P E A K ARTS AND R E V I E W .

You see, for a long time now, there's been an evil crew of people in The Peak who've been trying to keep this a secret. So, while the masses have been paying $6.50 to see a movie or $7.00 to get into a play these evil people have been walking in, absolutely free. This isn't to say that they don't earn their invitations - they're all good writers ; people like D.K., R.Y., and R.B. - they're just evil.

But now it's summer and most of these people are away for vacation or burnt out. Now's your chance! Come to the first A&R staff meeting and meet James and myself, the summer coordinators, and we'll show you the works. We'll set you up for a movie, play, or dance event and all you have to do is tell our readers what you think.

We donTcare if you think this record i S H I T T Y or that you really D I G the Dead Milkmen - as long as you tell others what you THINK. If you can write worth the ink in your pen we want you.

And by the way, there's no sexual dis­crimination in our section but I hear that Mars Needs Women.

MOVIES I dunno, James. Why does it seem that

all the blockbuster movies come out in the summer? Could it be that more people have more time to see them? Well, we got the Batman movie everyone's talking about with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson. Of course, we're all waiting to see if Indy 3: The Last Crusade will make it big. And you just can't forget those old fogies in one piece spandex suits in Star Trek V. Neither can you ignore the Ghostbusters in their second movie. Plus there's a dozen little flicks that won't have line-ups. Gee, James, it occurs to me that all these are movies waiting for writers.

Matthew Sweet - Earth (A&M) Cool! I don't know where this guy came from,

but he's got it; that intangible feeling of where and how things in music fall into place without cliche or claptrap.

If I had to think of a comparison I'd say a nasal Bryan Ferry who invites the B-52's Kate Pierson over to play in his thumping and swinging sandbox. Cruising in his pretty little vixen!

Sweet takes you for a swim in rhythm guitar sentiments, refreshingly close to home in outlook and grooving in suave (yet not overproduced!) melodies.

Run with it.

MAY 11,1989 THE PEAK PAGE 9 LETTERS CJIV

In response to a recent article and numerous letters regarding the (ir)responsibility of SFU's campus newspaper, namely The Peak. Apart from being the typi­cal banal crap that is to be ex­pected on the front page of The Peak, the article by Corrilee Fox violates some basic principles of journalism.

Objective reporting aimed at informing the student body should be a top priority. As a former pro­gram director of CJIV I can say first hand that the accusations of sexist and bias management is lud­icrous. The role of women in the station is exactly the same as men. Any female can run for any posi­tion and there are no restrictions whatsoever on who can do what. I found that females in the station were as good, if not better at doing the same things as males and the p r e s e n t f e m a l e b o a r d member and news director are doing excellent jobs.

It is true that most of the man­agement is male but they are dem­ocratically elected by the board which in turn is democratically elected by the members at large. Corrinna Cooke's complaints about certain members appear to be nothing more than unreasona­ble personal attacks at those with whom she could not get along with. Unfortunately this is a part of life and has nothing to do with the fact that CJIV is hard working unit run by dedicated people.

The damage to CJIV may al­ready have been done and I would like to say that regardless of whether the referendum passes to increase CJIV's funding, we at CJIV will continue to provide an open forum of music and infor­mation to the campus and the community.

I would like to add that The Peak receives about $100 000 per year (funded by the students) yet they still continue to fail in provid­ing factual and informative journ­alism. 1 suggest that The Peak receive the same kind of visible criticism that CJIV received as they are both funded by the students.

Tim Walker CJIV member and SFU student

Thanks To all those students who voted

for me in the election, I wish to thank you whole-heartedly. I es­pecially would like to thank Katie and Natalia for all their help with the posters.

To those candidates who were elected, congratulations. To those candidates who did not make it, commiserations.

I look forward to working with the new Forum, and I hope, that together, we can address the issues of importance that face all stu­dents here at S.F.U.

Mark Sanderson Geography Forum Rep.

Blah Before leaving this place I'd like

to slide past The Peak editor's block and sneak in a few sugges­tions for campus reform.

l)I'd buy a new bank machine! I'd be happy to bus down to the Lougheed Mall maching except I need the SFU machine for bus

fare. Eating would be nice, too (contrary to public belief, students do not always bring their Brat-pack lunchpails). Lower the muz­zle velocity on the card return! I should not have to catch it. Also, expand the options—maybe a cheque deposit and a few new lan­guages. How come whenever I use French my money gets stolen?

2) Alert students that there are numerous free phones on the cam­pus and even more vacated wal-ljacks, so bring a cordless phone and go shopping. I did!

3) Put instructions on all micro­waves—it's difficult to work with smoke. My activity fee does not cover radiation sickness and there are better seasonings than Stron-tim 90. How about something clever like a time-to-cook guide so that I don't have to memorize the one at home. It is exhausting try­ing to pry macaroni from the walls of a stubborn oven, let alone open­ing an oven door to discover that your cherished bowl of green pea soup has vapourized. Confidence-building measoures in the event of microwave meltdown should also be forthcoming.

4) Put freshly-frozen chocolate eclairs back in the main concourse vending machine. The emaciated variant in the Pub has a half-life of about two hours before gangrene and rigor mortis set in. 5)Concession card discounts are surely overdue, but what about concessison stamps? It costs me more to send a letter to a loved one than it does to buy two duotangs, and foodstamps are only good on watermelons.

6) It is a wise suggestion from student X for toilet paper transfers from the downtown campus, but don't store them on the book­shelves. They're hard to write on and most students use their hands.

7) We have a 'Say it to Saywell'-why not a 'Mouth off to Mendes'. I have nothing to say, but perhaps

others do in the appropriate set­ting.

8) Why don't 77K- Peak wear press badges so we have some­thing to aim at when we're beng informed on? I kid about The Peak, but really, they're a wonder­ful bunch of cartoonists. Seriously, The Peak should expand to other mountaintops, perhaps Mt. Gari­baldi or somewhere in the Urals.

9) Now that CJIV almost has an FM Hcence, why doesn't some­body give them a playlist? Any­thing but Cycle Sluts From Hell and Cocaine Snot Groove. Since they've discovered that their rati­onales are almost identical, why not quit the cussing and cooper­ate. The Peak publishes the play-list and CJIV broadcasts a Peak six o'clock newsminute , prefera­bly concerning public accounta­bility of the playlist.

10) The tri-annual Peak Impos-ter Issue is the most politically ribald collection of quiche since 'De Sade and Non- Violence.' Why not publish it every week with a few placebos to keep us guessing as to which is the more real?

11) For the Images Theatre, 'focus' is not a philisophical ques­tion. Debate is required only to define what the syncopated hic­cups of the film projector consti­tutes a SlideShow. Splicing exper­

iments should be conducted at home.

12) 1 have only three questions about the library. Why doesn't the money contributed to the Reserves' fines for the two hour period from 8-10 in the morning for books otherwise due at 10:00 am entitle one to become a corporate share­holder? Has anyone ever been ejected from their library seat for being AWOL longer than 15 min­utes? Is the library patron who keeps lobbing books out the fourth floor window only to have them backboard into the Smythrite the same person who sleeps in the book return?

13) While I'm at it, I think the Hansen brothers and Old Time hockey is the best thing ever to happen to this campus. I just hope you guys don't fart in church. Come on over for a round of rol-lerball anyday and bring your women. Afterwards we'll pop back a few brewskies and swap stories about skating in circles to the accompaniment of singing violins as the opposing goaltender's nerve endings are wriggling on the ice.

Anyhow, other suggestions by like-minded people are welcome but please don't rdbut entry N4. Chocolate eclairs are one of the few things left that do not punch a hole in the ozone layer.

f JUMP FOR JOLLY

Lana Jolly wil l try to become the first woman to sweep six at the NAIA District I-Track & Field Championships Friday and Satur­day at Coquitlam Town Centre.

The 21-year-old Simon Fraser University long jumper has her eye on an unprecedented six gold med­als at the meet. She is the favorite to win and break her own district record in the long jump, win the triple jump and the 100 metre hur­dles. Jolly is seeded second in the 100 metres and along with her team­mates, is favored to win the sprint medley and 4x100 metre relay.

" I should win three gold medals for sure (long jump and relays) and I think I've got a pretty good chance at the others," says Jolly.

The most gold medals won at a district championship is the five Clan sprinter Lori Ewing ran away with at last year's meet. She won three relays and the 100 and 200 metres.

"Winning six gold medals isn't as important to me right now as doing well at nationals," says Jolly. "But years from now I ' l l look back and I ' l l remember this meet, and whether or not I win four, five or six golds, it will be special to me."

Jolly is a shoe-in to win the long jump. She was Canadian Junior Na­tional champion and ranked fourth in the country in 1986, before a series of leg injuries and then a rare spinal stress fracture—the result of overtraining—knocked her from the top of her game.

A new training program, one that places less wear and tear on her body, has her again reaching lengths that earned her the label of Canada's most promising young jumper.

Two weeks ago she leaped 5.96 metres, breaking her own SFU re­cord and falling just 13 centimeters short of the personal best she achieved as a high school senior at Brocklehurst Secondary in Kam-loops.

" I was really working hard, doing weights and running all winter and then at the first meet of the season (1987) I collapsed after my first jump—I couldn't stand up," says Jolly. " I had worked too hard in training and my body broke down."

The doctor prescribed a year of rest to remedy her spine and Clan coach Zenon Smiechowski de­signed the new training program. Now she practices long jumping without ever leaving her feet.

"The only time I ever jump is at a meet," says Jolly, "otherwise I work on the components of jump­ing—my approach and speed."

"We changed her thinking a lot," says Smiechowski. "Before Lana was too focused on the technique of long jumping, forgetting that it was still an athletic event. Now we've geared her training to sprints and hurdles and she's developed into a more dynamic, explosive jumper."

"Although her specialty is the long jump, her athletic ability is such that she can compete and win in the other events," says Smiechowski.

Senior Clan captain Sasha Nagy is vying for his third District 1 title in the 800 metres, one of the feature races during Saturday's finals.j the NAIA National Championships a year ago, Nagy won district titles in 1986 and 1987. He finished sec­ond to teammate Andrew Dawson in a photo finish in 1987.

He is also top seeded to win the 1500 metre title. Clan notes - Sev­eral dignitaries and MLA's wil l be on hand for the grand opening of Coquitlam Town Centre Park. The ceremonies begin Friday at 6:00 pm...Ticket prices are two dollars Friday and four dollars Satur­day... SFU faculty and students are admitted free Friday.
