Garneau destruction nears
by Peter Michalyshyn
Students’ Council cautiously endorsed a North Garneau stu- dent housing plan at its meeting
_ Tuesday night.
The “tentative proposal,” dubbed plan “G,” would: see housing built in a ‘horse-shoe’ shape along 87 Avenue, 110 Street, and the biock bordered by 90 Avenue and Saskatchewan Drive.
All but 13 of 85 houses now standing on those sites would be destroyed, with land inside the ‘horse-shoe’ left for future academic use.
Councillors were skeptical about the presentation of the plan by Gail Brown, Chairperson of the Steering Committee for Garneau Student Housing. _
Commerce rep Phil Soper said the interior assessment of homes in North Garneau had been done by telephone; architects
looked inside just three houses for reference, he said.
“They would ask Ray Bolduc (the maintenance super- visor for North Garneau) about the interior conditions of specific houses,” Soper said.
“He (Bolduc) said himself he hadn't been in some of the houses for over a year,” said Soper.
Lambvcr and Vaitkunas also did. an exterior audit of North Garneau, noting architectural value as well as general condition; they even counted all the trees in the neighborhood. :
Soper said he wanted a more thorough interior assessment of homes in the area to see if they ~ couldr’t be renovated, but Brown says that would take too long.
“We can’t slow it down (the student housing proposal) to get that kind of information,’ she said.

sity of Winnipeg collegiate stu- dent was recently asked to leave the room during a film studies class because the teacher “didn’t want a homosexual in the room.”
Dave Dueck, the teacher, said he didn’t want the other students in the class to associate the gay student, Greg Cymenko, with the guest lecturer.
Cymenko, who is head of the University of Winnipeg Gay
The Dean was concerned that the incident could “be blown out of by pe Our school is one of the finest inthe nation. We have always tried to understand and co-operate with different groups. I wouldn’t want anything like this to taint what is a very good institution.”
Vanderstoel said he would immediately investigate the com- plaint of Cymenko.
“Clearly we're not going to keep all the houses of value,” she said.
Council also objected to a planned 500 car parkade in the Southeast corner of North Gar- neau, particularly after Brown admitted it would not be used for neighborhood residents.
“We're going to mow down ©
homes and put in.a parking lot they (residents) won't even be able to use. I think it’s just ridiculous,” Soper said.
SU President Nolan Astley noted that the university already has blueprints to build a parkade on a present parking lot directly south of the Fine Arts Building.
But Brown said the North Garneau parkade proposal is a result of the university's policy to
put parking on the campus periphery. “Clearly there's direction
given to us on these things,” she said, adding she personally dislik-
ed the idea of the parkadein North |
Garneau.
The parkade would rise a half level above ground, with tennis courts built on top of it. The low profile matches the proposal’s attempt to preserve the integrity
of North Garneau, according to —
Brown. :
“We were very concerned about maintaining the character of (North) Garneau,” Brown said; referring to such housing features as balcomes, bay windows and street entrances to multi-unit three-story buildings.
If this proposal is accepted by the Facilities Planning Com- mittee and the Board of Gover- nors (B of G) Building Com- mittee. (and ultimately B of G itself), the buildings could be finished by early June 1983, in

Dueck then told Cymenko he was not wanted in the class because he was a homosexual. “I was trying to protect the guest lecturer,’ Dueck later said. “T feel that if Greg Cymenko, who is gay, sat beside the lecturer, the
class might think the lecturer was ~
also a homosexual. I didn’t think it would be fair to the lecturer.”
Dueck also said, “I don’t mind a person being gay. I feel sorry for them because I know they are not going to be as happy and as satisfied as I am.”
_ Dueck said he is not against homosexuals. “But I do think they (homosexuals) encourage other’ people to take the gay habit.”
Cymenko has protested to the Dean of Collegiate, John Vanderstoel. The Dean assured Cymenko that “if discrimination
- took place, appropriate action will
be taken. I'll have to discuss it with Dueck in depth.” -
Vanderstoel said Dueck is a staunch Mennonite and thus is not in favor of propogating homosex- uality.
Vanderstoel added - that Dueck’s religious beliefs would be taken- into account when the matter is discussed with Dueck. Vanderstoel said the collegiate’s policy on religion has been ‘pasically neutral’ and commented, “Perhaps the teacher involved didn’t understand that he was being discriminatory.”
Letters have been sent to all residents affected by the proposal warning them they may be evicted at the end of the university year in April, Brown said.

U of A staff and students continue to face risks from exposure to dangerous drugs and chemicals, while the university drags its feet on reform of its safety operation, according to the Non-Academic Staff Association (NASA).
Last week NASA quit the President's Advisory Committee on Occupational Health and Safety to protest the administration's reluctance to appoint a professional Health and Safety Director with broad powers to correct unsafe conditions in labs and storage areas.
“Dangerous chemicals~4nd drugs are a major problem on this campus,” said NASA general manager George Walker last week. “That's the worst time bomb around here. We dont know and nobody knows how many
carcinogens there are around here, for exam- -
ple.”
“We want an independent Occupational Health and Safety division, with full authority to force compliance with regulations,” said NASA research officer Ian Fraser. “...he wouldn’t be overruled by a dean or a department chairman.”
NASA has been lobbying the President's Committee for some time to set up sucha division. They have not done so yet.
“If there's resistance to giving safety a higher priority, then the committee can’t doa thing,” said Fraser. “...and there’s always resistance.
“The first time this came up was six years ago.” -
Health and Safety officials cannot make recommendations, but they are not,binding;
deans or department chairmen can overrule them.
University officials this week discounted the seriousness of NASA’s complaints.
“NASA’s a little bit frustrated,’ said committee chairman Wes Randall. University vice-president Lorne Leitch agreed. “I think they're frustrated,” he said.
Neither was willing to admit that the problem is serious.
“I’m not convinced there are dangerous conditions we are unaware of,” Leitch said.
Nor was either convinced that a strong and independent Health and Safety Division was necessary.
“It depends on the extent of authority of this individual (the director), said Leitch. “You can’t have a czar... There has to be some kind of check and balance mechanisin.”
Randall agreed: “If an individual were appointed without an understanding of how the university community operates, then that would be a disappointing appointment.
Someone who wanted to extend the current legislation to the limit might possibly raise hostility in the university community... whereas an individual who would work along and seek a consensus would find that he or she would be more successful. :
“With the right person, I would be in favor of the position.”
But Fraser was unimpressed with this.
“Someone who won't step on too many toes is what he’s talking about,” he said. “We've been saying we don’t. want a diplomat, we want a safety man. Any time you give someone the power to change things, you're going to have conflict.” .
_ University president Myer Horowitz said
this week that he has asked Leitch to review the matter and report to him.
__ “I’m concerned that they felt they had to withdraw from the committee. I hope they're
wrong (about problems with university officials)... they may be right.”
Godiva editors scolded
by Geoff McMaster
Students’ Council has voted in favor of a motion to censure the editorial board of the’ Godiva.
The censure will involve sending a letter of condemnation to those responsible for the publication of pornographic material that appeared in the paper during Engineering Week. ;
Paul Cumming, who proposed the
motion, said at Tuesday's meeting “The Students’ Union has a responsibility over university publications” and that it should do something to prevent a similar occurrence in the future. ‘
In a debate before the final vote, councillors from the engineering faculty expressed their opposition to the motiori. |

Plague of ‘superbunnies’
(ZNS) — And you thought “The Creature that Ate New York” was just a movie.
The British Magazine Undercurrents reports that giant rabbits are plaguing the British nuclear industry.
“These dreaded creatures — immune to poison, as big as hares, and bold as brass — are running amok at British Nuclear Fuels Ltd’s Capenhurst enrichment plant and at the adjacent electricity council research center.”
The superbunnies are munching on the grass at the disposal site and seem to be thriving on it, the magazine says. “The only way of getting rid of them is to get ina rifle-toting assassin to carry out a cull every year or two.
First nuclear reactor
SASKATOON (CUP) — The Saskatchewan government has moved another step closer to aquiring the province's first nuclear reactor, according to the University of Saskatchewan student newspaper the Sheaf.
- The Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB) has given approval to a reactor location at the northern end of the University of Saskachewan campus.
However, the final licence to operate the reactor is still pending approval according to W.H. Husband, an official of the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC).
One of the purposes of the reactor, according to the SRC, will be to detect radioactivity in uranium ore samples on a commercial basis.
The first “client” for the reactor will be the Cluff Lake Mining Company, which is 80 percent owned by the giant European multi- national AMOK and 20 percent owned by the Saskatchewan government. The company is currently mining uranium on a large scale in Northern Saskatchewan and workers there have tecently . accused the mining operators of running roughshod over health and safety regulations.
Before the reactor can be installed the SRC says it must conform to certain restrictions—one of which is strict security plans. Most times, the reactor will be under AECL supervision, but when it is not, the U of S security office will monitor radiation levels.

professors according to Patricio
Lanfranco, President of the Cultural Association of the Un- iversity of Chile (ACU).
“Only one point of view is permitted in Chile today,” he said
to an audience of sixty in SUB _
theatre yesterday at noon.
“The junta is trying to look good internationally, but it isn’t respecting human rights in any way, shape, or form,” Lanfranco said, referring toGeneral Augusto Pinochet's eight year old military regime.
For example, four student leaders were sent into exile for organizing a tribute to the founder of the first Chilean university. Another student leader, Patricia Torres,- has been constantly persecuted by the police and faces the continual danger of either exile or outright expulsion, Lan- franco said.

“Many of the faculties most important to social development of the country will just not be there because they are not money faculties,’ Lanfranco said.
And Canadian private business is directly involved in Chile. The Bank of Nova Scotia has lent $14.1 million directly to the junta, and Noranda Mines is looking for backers for a $350 million investment plan in Chile.
“The governments of the United States and Canada haven't appeared to be commited to the junta, but the corporations and the banks have done a lot of investing. It only helps to shore up a regime that is very oppressive,’ Lanfran- co said.
Before the 1973 coup, univer- sities operated on three basic principles of . participation,
autonomy and pluralism. These.
concepts broke down when Pinochet's junta seized power, he said. ;
Canada Student Loans retain their interest-free status until six months after the student ceases being a full-time student. If the loan is not paid off by then, interest is charged.
Under the present system, the interest rate is tied to the six month average yield on Govern- ment of Canada bonds, currently about 13 percent. The bankers are proposing that it be the prime rate

“We have moved back literal- ly decades... the degree of knowledge a person has is con- trolled,” said Lanfranco. ~
The ACU was formed in 1977 by engineering students in an effort to preserve cultural heritage and freedom of expres- sion. Since then they have actively protested the oppresive terrorist policies of the junta.
Lanfranco doesn’t. rule out the possibility of resorting to violence in the fight against the regime.
“Chileans today aren’t going to discount any route that will lead to the liberation of their country.”
Lanfranco said that the harder Chileans work, ‘the shorter will be the time between the Chile today and the Chile that will once again be in the hands of the people tommorrow.”

They have now concluded that students, like most people, deal. with whichever bank is closest to them. This failure to build “brand loyalty ” among students is also the reason so many low-profit campus bank branches have been shut down in recent years.

‘EDITORIAL —
U.S. mental block
Finally, the whole sorry debacle of the American hostages
in Iran is over. This, thankfully, also signals an end to the
biased, ethnocentric and distorted news reporting coming
from American and Canadian networks and newspapers.
I feel sorry, not because of the plight of the hostages, but because the American people are no closer now than they ever were to understanding the roots of the resentment and even hatred inspired by their presence in any part of the world.
Instead, they blithely skip along, assuming their moral superiority and demonstrating their righteous arrogance and indignation at anyone who questions the suitability of the American Way of Life for their country. They elect presidents, not because they support human rights (the alleged cornerstone of American democracy) but because they support “friends,” like the Shah in Iran, the dictators in Chile and El Salvador and the puppets in Vietnam.
When Iran deposed the Shah and took the hostages there was at least the hope that Americans would gain some insight into the reasons behind the discontent sweeping across the Third World, and the Middle East in particular. Iranians of all classes supported the revolution, directly or tacitly, because they saw it-as the necessary first step in ridding themselves of the vise-like control exercised over their society and culture by imposed values and alien traditions. ~ :
The upheavals in Iran were not and are not the exclusive workings of a pack of wild-eyed, bearded fanatics. Instead, the mullahs. represent the only stable element in Iranian society, and it was to these symbols of tradition that people turned wholeheartedly for rescue from the ravages of rapid moder-
nization,

More specifically, what the Shah and most other U.S: backed Third World rulers wanted was the facade of Westernization without the values and traditions that go with it. Row upon row of shiny fighter planes, modern shopping malls and air conditioned high rises may be nice, but they do absolutely nothing to alleviate the suffering of the mass of peasants in most nations. These trappings simply entrench the autocratic elites, allowing them to exploit their own people. ;
It is these trampled masses who know the USS. only perceives their land as a means to their own self-serving ends. These include maintaining the status quo power structure to facilitate the exploitation of people and’ resources, and fulfulling so-called “strategic needs.” They see clearly that they are treated as nothing more than pawns, and they don’t like it.
So they take the only action possible; they strike out at the visible symbols of American power and influence — they chant slogans, they plant bombs, and they take hostages.
Of course, violence against foreigners cannot be condoned. However, the response of the militant students was aot an irrational anomaly, but the predictable result of American policy. Unless Americans shed their childlike naivete and acknowledge the forces of change in the world, they will find themselves more and more often in situations similar to the one they have just escaped from.

Can't you hear the music?
It never fails. Every year I have to either write or phone in to complain of your unbelievable léthargy in covering the events sponsored by our own university artistic community.
Some assume that Gateway is a university paper conceived and run by the people of this institution: It has been believed, (wrongly, too), that the Gateway is a comprehensive media vehicle for the reporting of the various events on campus.
The Department ot Music does in fact exist and has been responsible for some very fine concerts in just about every musical field which the Western Hemisphere. offers. Symphony, chamber music, rock ’n’ roll, big and small band jazz,C & W, R &B, electronic, folk; all these and from every period known from early medieval” to the present are to be heard: The Department is met often with good critical acclaim — not here it seems.
I look in the Gateway and see pages of basketball, Golden Bears, coach interviews and the like, but no mention of some of the best music played in town — right here on campus. Either you don’t carea damn about the musical life here or you don’t know anything about music. Your painful lack of coverage — even bad coverage — leads me to believe both cases. It must be that you wouldn’t know music even if it came up and bit you on the ass.
If the Gateway can claim or ever hope to be the paper of the university. community, then its primary responsibility is not the review of the Good Brothers at SUB, or whatever, but for the many gigs the Music Department works so hard to present to its in- the-dark university fellows.

From the bottom up
Engineering Week is sexist, but it is because the event is so well deere that it gets at- tacked. The poster-tearing ac- tivists on this campus are obvious- ly too lazy to seek out and destroy subtle, ever-present discrimina- tion.
The -participants in Engineering Week acknowledge what sexism there is and’ no one feels pressured into or downgrad- ed by what they have chosen to do. Yet, there are situations where people have no choice in the matter, such as sexual harassment, rape; or work conditions.
Sexist ideas exist in the media, schools, everywhere. We have been brought up believing them; they are acceptable. If the article in the Godiva had been racist rather than sexist, it would have been front page news from
here to Toronto and legal action
would have been severe.
The article was a mistake, but what led to its being written anywhere are the inherent at- titudes of society. They go un- noticed until a spectacular appearance in something like the Godiva. aes
Banning Engineering Week
would create defensiveness and.
hostility. It would be treating the symptoms of a ed entrenched disease, the roots of which go back to classical times. The solution is not token activism, but change — from the bottom up.
Until the accepted forms of:
sexism, that would be too radical to call sexism, are eradicated, nothing will change. Armchair
activists who must have their: -causes thrust into their faces will
never succeed in improving the position of people in society. It makes one wonder if- they really want to.
As I was reading the article entitled “The Experts’Favorites of 1980” I could not help becoming considerably indignant towards the attitude of the writers (or so- called “experts”). I feel the off- the-cuff remarks of Messrs. Kosowan and Brown concerning certain Edmonton radio stations and staff, and topics such as “biggest jerks and embarassments of the year” are quite out of line.
As one’s own choice of music is highly personal, expressions of

I, as a reader, have to trust the author's sole use of expertise in writing such an article, and upon failure to do so (as these gentlemen have done) I would seriously question the so- called “expert” nametag attached to their positions. Thus, I find this article most useful at my backdoor, underneath my snowboots. Beverly Demchuk Science III

The world is about to be assailed witha particularly nauseating dees of American jingoism: an inauguration and the return of the hostages will be too much provocation for some people to resist.
Already the flags are waving and the cries of “nuke the ayatollah” aré sounding. And Reagan is promising “an era of national renewal.” é
What concerns me about this apparent resurgence of nationalism in the United States is embodied in Reagan’s statement; what precisely is Reagan planning to renew? What if he means America’s erstwhile place in world affairs? If this is indeed his, meaning, El Salvador could very well be Vietnam, 1980s style.
It is conventional wisdom to believe that after the U.S.’s withdrawal from Vietnam, and itsembroilment in the Watergate scandals, the nation went through a period of intense self-doubt and questioning — a sort of national existential delimma. Whether or ‘not this was the case, any hesitancy the American people may have felt over the wholesale interference in other nations’ affairs has been dispelled by the hostage-taking.
Americans are apparently ready to take up the white man’s burden again, and this readiness carries with it serious threats to world peace and other nations’ integrity. It isn’t logical to blame this militarism on Reagan, either; it was quite apparent during Carter’s term, although he refused to embody it in the way Reagan undoubtedly will.
It is not patriotism to which I am objecting. Patriotism is not militarism, nor is it nationalism. The belief that one’s own country

and culture are intrinsically valuable and worth defending is relatively harmless. An American citizen's feeling that his is a great country, and the best place in the world to live, may seem odd to someone who doesn’t share the belief, but it doesn’t interfere with the sceptic at all. 4
Patriotism and rationalism mayco-exist in a single brain.. Nationalism and rationalism cannot. I hasten to explain whatI mean by nationalism — it is the desire to inflict one’s way of life and culture on innocent bystanders,’ such as Vietnamese people. As George Orwell pointed out, one can be nationalistic about countries or ideology. It is an attitude of mind which precludes reason and encourages closed-mindedness. : as
And it is an attitude of mind Reagan’s election and the release of
the hostages will exacerbate in many Americans. HK

Another said in reference to the Gateway, “My personal feel- iing is... this Student Council better iclean its own house before run- ining around cleaning everyone else’s houses.”
Ninette Gironella, who final- ly voted in favor of the motion during a roll call vote, was originally opposed to it, claiming the issue had been adequately “dragged out’.
“The Godiva on the whole I don’t see as sexist or por- nographic,” she said, adding that ‘she viewed the warning on the front page of the issue as sufficient to justify publication of the material within it.
SU president Nolan Astley, concerned that the Students’
Union “has an image to keep up,”
asked ESS president Kelly Scott what kind of discipline would be initiated by the engineering facul- ty itself.
Scott replied, “The in- dividuals will be disciplined by ourselves and within the faculty.” He went on, however,to explain that he did not have any real control over the editorial board of the Godiva but would either change or remove the paper if the editors continued to behave in an irresponsible manner.
Only four of the 27 coun- cillors finally voted against the motion, three of whom were engineering students.

POINTED STICKS: Perfect Youth (Quintessence QLP002)
Rock ‘n’ Roll used to be a lot of fun. It's nice to see that some of the young people today have rediscovered this, and such a thing really comes through on the debut album recorded by Vancouver's Pointed Sticks. I say this realizing full well how pretentious that last sentence sounds - the fact is a surprising number of people in their late twenties neither understand nor appreciate rock ‘n’ roll as it’s played in the 80s. This is a pity, as the so-called ‘New Wave’ is really nothing more than a return to the sixties.
Perfect Youth (Quintessence QLP002) is a real giggle-a lot of fun to listen to. The musical richness coming from an essentially spare arrangement is part of that legacy ee earlier times. The lyrics have more snap to them, though, and this serves the band well.
There are no bad songs on Perfect Youth and several quite good ones. Never does the music fall into- that common trap - the sin of repetitiv ness
‘Nick Jones, who pulls most ot the song- writing weight, has crafted some good pop songs, and has had the sense to keep things relatively simple, not taking himself too seriously. He even shows (though he may be reluctant to accept the compliment) a good grasp of the theory of The Hook.
_ At times, though, Jones’ whiny tenor grates on the nerves. The album’s best moments come with the harmonies. Likewise the band sounds best when it plays in tight ensemble; there are no musical egos being stroked here.
The emergence of bands such as The Sticks and Doug and the Slugs from the depths of the Vancouver Pub n’ Club scene bodes well (we hope) for the Canadian recording scene, and forces the Central Establishment to pay more
attention to Vancouver as a musical and _
recording centre. The independent attitude of the West Coast permeates Perfect Youth; in turn this record sends breath of something fresh into Canadian music.
BLONDIE: Autoamerican - (Chrysalis CHE 1290)
Turn the album on, and suddenly you're listening to what could be a new sound track for Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. By the time Exropa is over, you're convinced that Autoamerican (Chrysalis CHE 1290) is not even a typical po record, much less a typical Blondie record.
In some ways, Europa is a miniature of the album as a whole. It’s bold and

different, and takes Blondie in entirely new directions. It's also cold and mechanical, and, ultimately, impersonal. And through it all, Deborah Harry-glides serenely - at a time when serenity is the - last thing the song, the band, or the album need.
Harry's passionless performance is what brings the curtain down on Autoamerican. The album thrusts in’so many different directions that, without a unifying central factor, it might as well be the 101 Strings doing a pastiche of the Beatles. Debby Harry should be the unifying factor; unfortunately, she isn’t.
Credit is certainly deserved for the choice of material. The songs range from the urban Sturm and. Drang of Europa through the calypso of The Tide is High to the Cole Porteresque Here’s Looking at You. An air of jaded sophistication is just right for the latter tune; unfortunately, that’s all Harry has to offer, and the air very quickly becomes stale.
Autoamerican isa significant depar- ture for Blondie, just as Remain in Light was for the Talking Heads. Untortunate- ly, instead of loosening up, as did the Heads, Blondie gives a tighter perfor- mance. It’s almost as if the band as an © entity had doubts about the album from the start.
STYX Paradise Theatre (A & M SP-3719)
The members of Styx take themselves and their music vety serious- ly. I suppose somebody has to. I myself find it hard to listen to this Chicago band without becoming either hysterical or nauseous.
Styx has just released a new album entitled Paradise Theatre (A : M SP- 3719). It is apparently a concept album, built up around the 30 year history of the Chicago moviehouse of the same name. Just what the concept is remains unclear, though. Is the Paradise Theatre really America? Are we then the audience, watching the decline of a super-power? Or is it all just an excuse for some fancy
cover-art?

Whatever the answer (or whatever the question, for that matter), you can bet that it'll be delivered in the typical Styx style - which is to say, the typical Supertramp style. Why peole continue to put up with Dennis DeYoung’s Plastic Apocalypse is beyond me - especially when the original is so accessible and (if you avoid Paris) so much better.
DeYoung displays little originality or wit in his compositions - only a little talent for mouthing platitudes. How can you take seriously a man describing his woman's putting up with numerous failings and indescretions, who sums it all up by saying “I guess that’s the way it goes, the way that it goes.” Further, all the production wizardry in the world (and
there is some decent work here) can’t cover for a sound that is fundamentally hollow at ‘the base.
Sell me to Barbara Streisand. Force me to attempt to have an intelligent conversation with a group of Barry Manilow fans. Take my Kodachrome away. Anything, only please don’t make me sit through another Styx album. I beg you.
NEXT WEEK: Okay, so I didn’t get Steeleye Span in this time. It just needs a bit more work, that’s all. I can only listen to British pseudo-folk music for so long before I break out in hives. Maybe I'll have the review done by next week. Is that all right?

Engineering Week | | Sexism, aggression and oppression
SAbs!
This is the second part of the post- Engineering Week interviews. Britt Griffin is a first year U of A law student and a volunteer at the Rape Crisis Centre. by Nina Miller Gateway: What do you think of the article that was printed in the Godtva? Griffin: The article is definitely child pornography. I think it reflects a parallel. trend in society of escalating sex exploita- tion and violence against women and sex exploitation and violence against children. It’s all on the same continuum. Gateway: Do you think that somebody with the remotest sense of responsibility would have printed that article unless they thought it reflected to some degree the general tone of Engineering Week and would therefore be acceptable? Griffin: First of all, to reply to the line that it got in there by mistake, I don’t think anyone is going to believe that. The article was not all that inconsistent as it very much follows from the kinds of things engineers have done in the past. I was not suprised - it was shocking in that the content was really offensive but. it wasn't like it came out of nowhere. Gateway: What is your definition of' sexism? Griffin: I would say sexism reflects a male ideology which suggests women are
inferior and deserving of oppression.. It -
sets up two very.distinct and polarized roles, men being the aggressive, domi- nant hunter mentality and women being the female passive and submissive mentality. I think sexism very much engenders the notion of misogyny, which is the hatred of women.
Gateway: What do you think it means to
call somebody a sexist? Griffin: I guess I use the term sexist in two ways; one is to describe people who
_ express an indifference, a lack of concern
and an ignorance of the issues concerning women. But sexism on a more profound level engenders an entire attitude and ideology about the way the world should be and how the relationship between men and women should be. I think when I would call someone sexist, and would do so with a very serious tone, what I would mean is that they manifest hatred towards women or towards the things women represent. I think what the ideology of sexism does is, sets women in a role defined by men, forces women into that role, and then holds women in contempt for it.. For example, women are taught ‘from a very young age to be attractive.
They have to wear high heels, tight clothes, or whatever happens to be the ‘style, and yet often you see men ridiculing ‘women for wearing high heels and not being able to walk in them or for wearing ‘too much makeup. And so women are always caught in a double bind. What men do is say, “women have to be a certain way, since we run the:world and can make them be that way,.afid then we hold them in contempt for it.” Stemming from this is man’s perception of his sexuality. I think women have an easier time defining their sexuality because
there are two very obvious things that
make us women; we can have children and we menstruate. Men can often only identify their sexuality in reference to women and therefore women become mirror images of how men _ judge themselves. If women don't do it properly men get mad and I think this is partly what causes sexism. Men want women to reflect back to them a favorable view of what men should be like and what men should be like is dictated by an ideology which says men should be tough
“and in control and sexually aggressive.
Gateway: Do you think parts of Engineering Week are sexist? If so, why? Sculptures?
Griffin; | think the one thing I noticed
about some of the ice sculptures is the use _
of sex to portray situations which are humiliating and disgusting. It seems to me we do that in our language as well. All our swear words and language of violence and aggression is sexual. The same thing happens in Engineering Week; sex is aged: as the channel to express a lot of
different kinds of things. They might be commenting on some political situation but the ice sculpture that was torn down shows that they use sex to express it. The message there was sexuality in an ultimately humiliating, embarrasing, and disgusting situation.
Gateway: The songs?
Griffin: Well, after reading the Godiva song the thing that hit me was the talk about her “white hide.“ I thought, “of course,” hunters go out and catch animals and take their hide and that very much sums up the whole mentality of these activities. Men getting together, having very boisterous boyish activities centered around this very static, passive, beautiful woman. It is very primitive in that it is like men going out on the hunt and having all these games together and
Griffin: I would suggest that kicklines represent standard tradition of women being there to entertain men and to be beautiful. For some women involved I’m sure there is the positive feedback of male approval for their female bodies but I don’t know what else could be displayed there except a women’s body. Andi think that is a really fragmented approach to females.
Gateway: Queen contest?
Griffin: The Queen contest is very interesting. The Queen contest, and all the other kinds of beauty contests like that play very interesting roles in dealing with women and how they relate to each other. What happens is men say, “if you want our approval you have to compete against each other.” It sets up a division among women. It not only divides

coming back and having women as the trophy. The “white hide” really makes clear women is a trophy and so does the fact that the engineering club gets points for their Queen.
. Gateway: The Godiva paper?
Griffin: Well, I don’t think there is any doubt about the factthat the Godiva is sexist. It reflects, again, a continuing degree of sexism. The article on child molesting was as far as they were willing
to push it this time around. But] think a:
lot of the jokes and cartoons are really offensive. They are standard tacky, anti- women Playboy-type fare that are dis- missed as good fun but ultimately hold women in ridicule. The bodies of women are charicatures of what women really look like or represent what men would like them to look like.

women who compete against each other but separates different kinds of women, so that the princesses are really isolated from the women who are feminists. There is never a cohesiveness of women allowed. Whereas, Engineering Week represents a very archetypal example of male bonding, but not allowed for the women, who are kept apart by the male bodyguards.
Gateway: Do you favor equal rights for women?
Griffin: Equal rights is not enough: We have to begin to-understand that being a feminist or being liberated doesn’t mean being like a man. We do not merely want the opportunities men have. We do not want to share male privilege and partake of a system that is ultimately bound to oppress somebody. The aim of feminism, for me, is a new value system, one not

centered on aggression, competition or ego. It is not enough for women to struggle merely to become like the men who formerly oppressed them. © Gateway: Why do you think the ratio of | women in engineering is not increasing at the same rate as it is in other faculties (for example medicine and law)? Griffin: I think in part, at least on the surface, the Engineering Faculty is the last bastion of male dominance. And for _ that reason it may be unappealing to women. Also, the reason so many women especially went into the field of law was to instigate social change in relation to. women and that was one of the best ways to do it. Medicine, in part, has also played that role, because there are some fun- damental medical and women in health issues that could be solved by women entering the medical field.’ Gateway: Do you think the general attitude of the engineering faculty towards women is conducive to in- creasing. the ratio of women in the faculty? ” Griffin:No, I don’t. It would sure keep me out if I was interested in going into engineering... I think their attitude suggests that women in the faculty havea very token stature and it is a stature that is in a very precarious position. Because, for a woman in engineering it must be very difficult to be in a faculty with that many men. The pressure must be incredible. I think it is very brave of women to go through it but I just hope that in the future enough women will come into the faculty to make it worth womens while to take a stand. I think right now women in the faculty might very well be in too much jeopardy to take a stand because the peer pressure would be enormous. Gateway: Do you think the current attitudes of engineers towards women are perpetuating the.role of women as a second class citizen? Griffin: Oh, for sure, and not only as second class citizens, but as the mere objects of male sexual attention. Gateway: Why do you think so many people outside the faculty are upset by Engineering Week.? Griffin: I think Engineering Week presents a very visible example of sexism. Sexism is so pervasive and so widespread that it’s difficult to deal/with on a day to day basis. It becomes very tiring, very overwhelming. But if you all of a sudden have this thing dropped in your lap, this huge enormous chaotic week - it becomes very easy to single it out and take objection to it. Also, because it happens on a university campus, and it’s been said, ~ universities are supposed to be an _atmosphere where there is progessive thought and some sort of cultural awareness, this just flies in the face of that. It’s very much of anembarrassment to people involved with the university community that there are still people around who have attitudes toward women that are just reprehensible. .

Bears and Dinosaurs
fight: for first place
The Calgary Dinosaurs make their first appearance of the season in Varsity Rink this weekend to battle the Golden Bears for the top spot in the Canada West standings. After play last weekend the two teams are tied for first with Calgary having one game in hand.
In four meetings this year, all in Calgary, the Bears and the Dinosaurs have each won twice. Alberta took both its games by 6-2
scores while Calgary won 6-5 and 7-6,both in overtime.
Calgary always seems to play better in Varsity Rink than they do at home. Last year they won four of six games on the Bears’ home ice — including two straight wins in the Canada West playoffs. The biggest problem with the Dinosaurs in games against the Bears this year has been consisten- cy. They have trouble playing two good games back to back.
Hockey gals split in NALHL play -
by Sandy Gusnowski The U of A Women’s Hockey Team has returned for the second half of their season with a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and determination. Asa result of their consistent
performance in the first half of:
the year, the team managed to secure a position in Division B’ in the Northern Alberta Ladies Hockey League. The U of A Women’s Hockey Team are confi- dent their intense efforts and eagerness will provide the in-
spiration necessary for their advancement into the atte scheduled for early March.
The U of A Women’s Team played their first game this term, Sunday, January 11 at Donnan Shell Arena. The U of A opened up by scoring two goals in the first period. Gwen Krook scored early in the first and leading team scorer Jo Hutzul quickly followed _ suit with another goal. The team
. continued pressing in the second period for a,third and final goal as Jo Hutzul scored her second of the night. The women put forth an earnest effort but relinquished their lead early in the third period to lose to the Chestnuts by a final score of 5 - 3. :
The team got their plays clicking Friday at Varsity Arena. They bounced back from their loss to shut-out Stony Plain 4 - 0. Tracy David ignited the scoring fuse for the U of A by scoring her second goal of the year late in the first period. Gwen Krook went on to score early in the second for the only goal of the period. The U of A continued to apply pressure early in the third with a goal by Marie
Hughes. They concluded with a
fourth and final goal late in the
third by defenseman Carolyn
Jones, her first goal of the year. Shelly Vetesse made her first
appearance in net Friday for the U
ot A. She began her goalie career rather impressively with the shut- out victory. The team has manag- ed two shut-outs this year, the first by Bonnie Kaplan.
The U of A Women’s Hockey Team play two away games this weekend. Saturday at 8:00 p.m.
against the Chestnuts at Crestwood Arena and on Sunday at 5:15-p.m. against Spruce Grove at Calahoo Arena.
With UBC out of the running — they've won just twice in thirteen starts — a real race has developed in Canada West hockey for the first time in many years. Several years back the regular season was just a warm-up for the Bears on their way to the Nationals.
Since the race is so close this year, the Bears may not even know how the playoff situation stands before they head to Spain for the Winter Universiade. Saskatchewan and Calgary play on the February 27-28 weekend in the final series of the year, five days after the Bears depart, and that may decide who makes the top two and who finishes first.
On the subject of Spain, seven countries have entered the hockey competition. Besides Canada, teams from Finland, Japan, Bulgaria, West Germany, Korea, and Spain will compete. Only one, Finland, has any reputa- tion as a hockey power.
BEAR FACTS: ‘
Tuesday night at NAIT the
Bears defeated the Alberta College
Allstars 8-5. Perry Zapernick,
Chris Helland and Jim Lomas all had two goals for the Bears. Terry Clark’s. 3.21 goals against average leads the league. Terry Lescisin, with a bad knee, is the only question mark for the Calgary series.

LDS retains title in IM basketball
by Garnet DuGray
Some things just never change. The same holds true with the past couple’ of men’s in- tramural Division I basketball championships. This year’s con- test was much similar to that of a year ago as the LDS. squad retained their title in a hard fought 40-34 win over Law. L.DS. led 18-11 at the half as Bob McCue led all scorers with 12 points while Yorny of Law chipped in 11 for the losers. In Division II action, Law got some revenge as they downed the Wrecking Crew 35- 24. Leading scorers were not available at this time. Finally, in Division III, the Wrecking Crew came up with a big win over 9th Mac as they trounced their residence rivals by a 35-13 score after leading 21-2 at the half. Dale Hawken of the Crew led all scorers with 11 points while Al Gatenby of 9th Mac hooped 7 oints for the losers
Keeping with men’s basket- ball, the 3-on-3 competition wraps up tonight (Thursday) in the main gym. This is your last chance to come and see some fine basketball. In men’s bowling, the times for the Saturday/Sunday bowl-off this Super Bowl weekend, January 24 and 25, will be posted on the men’s info board or check with your unit manager.
If the Drillers can play indoors soccer then so can the men’s intramurals. But ours is a different game. No boards to collect rebounds off of anda larger playing - surface down at the Kinsmen fieldhouse. The double elimination tourney will be run in the evenings anywhere from 7 - 11:30 p.m. with the exception of Sunday, February 1, when the games will be played from 8 a.m. - 12 noon. The tourney begins on Monday, January 26, and runs until the third week of February. A
_ final date has not yet been decided upon.
Another popular men’s event that runs in the fieldhouse as well is the field hockey clinic and tourney. The tourney runs from .8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 31, with a 15 minute clinic preceding each team’s first game. The men’s curling bonspiel will be run in a double-knockout style from’ Mon- day, February 2 February 8 in the SUB rink with the exception of Thursday. The weeknight matches will run between 5 - 11 p.m. while the weekend contests are slated for 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Deadline for entries into field hockey and curling are by one p.m. on Tuesday, January 27 in the men’s office. As well that date is the entry deadline for the men’s volleyball league. This Leas volleyball will be preceded
a seeding tournament on
hursday, February 5 and Mon- day, February 9, in the MainGym in order to balance each league. The schedule runs from Tuesday, February 10 to Thursday, March
to “Sunday,
12 — playoffs.
Don't forget, any of you that signed up for the Men’s, Women’s or Co-Rec badminton tourney, that the schedule will be out shortly as the tourney will run on, Tuesdays and Thursdays, January 29 to February 12 from 7:30 - 10:30 p.m. in the Education Gym. Co-rec innertube waterpolo con- tinues this week, so come out and splash around with some good old innertube fun. Social Dance begins on Wednesday, January 28 and runs every Wednesday even-
ing from 7:30 - 10:30 p.m. in the _
Dance Gym until February 18. In women’s sports, the 3-on- 3 basketball competition con- tinues this week and next wrap- ping up on Thursday, January 29
Skiers 1m
by Karl-Ann Quinlan
In spite of tough opposition the Bears ski team is achieving good results. In the sharply competitive Alberta Ski Circus the Bears’ performance has been improving with each event.
For example, last weekend at ‘a Paskapoo‘A’ race, the Bears’ Mark Stein skiied to a 7th place Saturday and a 5th Sunday. In addition, Magic Johnstone reached a 12th
Sunday. The event featured Alber- ta’s finest racers and included °
recent Pontiac Cup winner Gord Perry.
_ Needless to say Stein’s com- ment that the race was “incredibly close” seems justified because the six racers finishing behind Stein
in Sunday's first heat were separated by merely .7 seconds. Stein declares, “This is the most competitive racing I’ve seen in Alberta,” and “You can’t make big errors or you're out.” Stein's runs Sunday involved “no major mistakes, just little stuff’ and he
credited Bears coach Bruce Wilson .
for diagnosing small errors that did occur. -
in the Main Gym. The women’s squash tourney got under way last evening (Wednesday) with some excellent competition and wraps up next Wednesday, January 28. The women are also into the curling fun as their bonspiel will
run this Saturday, January 24, from 1 - 6 p.m. in the SUB rink. Deadline for this funspiel is today, Thursday, January 22 by 2 p.m. in’ the women’s office. So hurry out there and put together a foursome for this Saturday afternoon.
Last weekend the intramural department sponsored a squash clinic. Twenty-eight players from beginner to intermediate showed up to learn the intricacies of the game.
roving
The importance of correcting .
small errors belies the fact four or
five people could win any event: Notably these top racers are generally the older ones who have the emotional stability to be consistent. Racing demands a great deal of concentration and this pressure often proves too much for younger competitors. Stein himself states, “Emotionally I put everything I had in it.... I did as best as I can do it”. Bess
‘In all, the Bears are begin- ning to put training and racing together and will likely peak late in February. Magic Johnstone's performance is sharpening and slalom ace Ted Redmond will return to the circuit for the. January 30 Alberta Cup event. When Redmond returns to the slopes he will, as usual, vie with Stein for top rankings.
Optimistically Stein hopes for a win at the Alberta Cup event to be held at Mt. Norquay. Other Bears in the Alberta Cup events, Rigger Matishak and Karl Wilberg; have recently improved their rankings and will also be aiming for good results.
