The University - of Alberta MAKE OUR DAY? LETHBRIDGE MLA CLINT DUNFORD NAMED NEW ADVANCED ED MINISTER by Tim Shoults Alberta’s universities have a | new front man after an entire school | year of speculation. Lethbridge MLA Clint Dunford was appointed Wednesday by premier Ralph Klein as Alberta’s new minister of Advanced Education and Career New AECD minister Clint Dunford Development, the department which oversees Alberta’s colleges and universities. Dunford replaces retiring minister Jack Ady, who did not run in the provincial election on March 11. Dunford, 54, is a graduate of the University of Calgary with a BA in economics. He has worked as a businessman and consultant in southern Alberta for the last 25 years in the tire and oilpatch industries. Dunford was first elected to the Legislature in June 1993 in the riding of Lethbridge West and has served on several government committees as a backbencher, including Rural Development, Public Affairs and the Heritage Fund. This is his first appointment to a cabinet post. “Y'm the first [Advanced Education] minister in a while to have a degree—I don’t know whether that’s good or bad,” said Dunford. Dunford claims his expertise as a self-employed consultant has more to do with career development than advanced education. But “We certainly won't sacrifice anything on the advanced education side,” he added. The new minister has a unique perspective on student loans since they he had some of his own to pay off less than ten years ago. He went back to school as an English major at the University of Lethbridge in 1986 during a lull in business at his consulting firm. “I did one semester, and then my business got busier, so then I had to go back to my business and start paying back my student loans, and that was a pain in the ass,” said Dunford. Dunford said he was receptive to students’ demands for a greater voice in university affairs. “I’m prepared to listen to any reasonable proposition that students might make on it.” “IT believe that as we ask students to invest more in their education, students should begin to talk very openly and get into a very public debate.” Dunford said he had no official position yet on calls from U of A student leaders to increase student representation on the Board of Governors, the U of A’s highest governing body. “That's something I'll have to be briefed on.” Dunford also said he wanted to “establish a relationship” with student leaders and even talk to ordinary students. “Certainly I have a respect for student leaders because they, like me are elected ... 1 would never usurp them, but] hope to find the opportunity here [to visit university students] in Edmonton,” he said. However, he supports the government's long-standing target of raising tuition to make up 30 per cent of the University’s general operating revenue. “I support going to the 30 per cent, but I have some empathy in how fast we have to get there.” The nomination came as a surprise to student leaders, who were expecting a cabinet veteran such as Education minister Gary Mar or Energy minister Steve West to be named to the post. Students’ Union president Garett Poston said, “I’m very surprised by the appointment.” “T don’t know anything about him, and we're in the process of setting up a meeting with him.” Dunford will be sworn in by Lt- Gov. Bud Olsen on Monday, April 7, said it a 6 The Official Students'Newspaper since 1910 CWd Please recycle this newspaper Volume 86, Issue 45 Thursday, March 27, 1997 Jaroslaw Malanowski Third-year University of Alberta Education student Stephen Girosh holds his head in amazement as a customer disagrees with the Safeway picketers at the Garneau Safeway on Wednesday afternoon. Making Garneau Safe for students Grocery strike having an impact on student workers and shoppers by Rose Yewchuk and Chris Miller The atmosphere at the Garneau Safeway on 109 St. and Whyte Avenue was visibly tense on Wednesday as shoppers averted their eyes and hurried past the clusters of picketing workers. There were few shoppers in the store and the parking lot was less than half full during the traditional shopping rush hour of 5-6 pm. “All the tills should be packed and there should be lineups all the way back,” said Stephanie Schrader, a single mother and striking Safeway worker. She said that the day’s picketing had been uneventful, with plenty of support from honking cars. “T have sympathy for the people working too,” she added. “Take this one girl who went in today: she’s 5 months pregnant, she’s a student, her husband’s a student—what is she supposed to do? It’s hard on everybody.” Picketing workers estimated that between 55 and 70 per cent of the Garneau Safeway staff are students. Public relations spokesperson for Canada Safeway Betty Kellse was unable to estimate how many students Safeway employs, but she said that students make an important contribution to the stores. “They're a vital part of our organization. You often talk to people and they say Safeway put me through [school],” she said. There were several students present at the Safeway to picket the store or do their shopping. Striking Safeway worker and third-year Business student Luana Patarau expressed her disappointment with Safeway management. “All I know is I get four hours a week and | can’t even pay for parking at the University. There’s nothing I can do, I guess—just look for another job,” she said. Patarau added that she was getting 20 hours a week when she started last September but has seen her shifts cut back over the past few months. Third-year Arts student Allison Farrants chose to shop at the Garneau Safeway out of opposition to the strike. “I have a friend who works at Safeway and she disagrees with this but she’s forced to go on strike. I don’t agree with it at all. I’m going to shop here regardless of the strike,” she said. First-year Science student Adam Chipiuk said that he was striking to protest the company’s treatment of its staff. “We support it because we have to help out the full-time workers—they saved the company so much. The company’s making $125 million, the CEO’s making $22 million, and we're making 6 dollars an hour, four hours a week.” Kellse said that Safeway has presented a final offer to its employees. “The negotiations are at a rather crucial point early next week, because that’s when our employees will vote on our final offer.” “We feel fairly confident the offer is fair and the employees will accept it,” she said. Kellse explained that all employees would receive a signing bonus of $400 for part-time workers and $1000 for full-time workers. In addition, there would be wage increases over the next five years. Edmonton employees will vote on Monday and Calgary employees on Tuesday. The offer will be accepted if 51 per cent of employees approve it.

(IDC) has given the University a gift of $2.5 million dollars. But in what form? A grant? A really big cheese wheel? Nope. The faculty of science is getting $2.5 million worth of software. The software is state-of-the-art technology used to interpret well logs, which are created when geologists drill wire lines and take readings from the rocks to search for mineral resources. The deal includes a database containing many well logs which will be updated with readings from future well logs. The gift will bring petroleum and reservoir engineers up to speed with current technology. Brian Jones, the head of the geology department at the U of A, is glad IDC brought their gift here since the University couldn’t afford to purchase this software for themselves. “Given the way that things are progressing these days, and especally the cost of doing these things, if we wish to maintain top- rate training for students, and top- rate research, we may have no options but to do this sort of thing,” said Jones. But the gift will also benefit IDC. Jim Durward, president and CEO of IDC, thinks that his company’s donation will lead to purchases of his software programs once students graduate and start working in thir field. “[Once students] are fully familiar with your products and learn to rely on them, they tend to rely on them into the future.” Jones did not believe that the students ... donation will set a precedent for corporate control of research. He felt that instead, the gift would push the University to the forefront of current ° practical and research technology. “Absolutely not. This is an example of a corporation entering into a partnership with the University that allows us to teach and train our students with modern equipment.” “The problem we face with this as a University is that there is no way we could ever hope to equip our labs with this database or these ie These are the tools that > a THE LOUISE MCKINNEY | STUDENT AWARDS OFFICE UPCOMING COMPETITIONS Data-sharing madness Jaroslaw Malanowski Geology students move into high-tech learning with the new Datashare software gift.

When asked if the threat of corporations dictating research with funding was possible, Jones said that the University should be cautious. “There is always potential in anything, but I think it is up to the University, and the departments in particular, to make sure that this does not happen. We have to make sure that the partnerships are entered in the fashion we entered this one,” said Jones.

Poston intends to build on his connections made as SU president to spread the athletics message to the community. “I know the frats, I know the faculty associations , and I can use these connections to promote athletics on campus,” he said. Poston, who has been a fixture at U of A athletics events as SU president for the last two years, wants to use the role to create a more visible role for athletics on campus. “We'd like to boost attendance,” he said. The newly-created position within the department was students [living at Michener Park].” Housing and Food Services Director David Bruch said this is being corrected but the waiting lists mean there is no space for a prayer room. “The reason why Michener Park exists is to provide accommodation to university students. If we have a waiting list of students to get in there, we think it’s quite wrong of us to be using the units for other purposes.” He added non-students won’t be able to stay at Michener Park much longer as 15 or 16 eviction notices will be sent today. Most of these residents were students at one time, but room will have to be made for incoming students, Bruch said.

Poston does not have any clearly defined plans for action yet. He will be doing most of his planning during the summer months in time for the kickoff of varsity athletics with football in August. The wage Poston will be paid in the new position has not yet been decided, nor does he know if he will be following the teams on road trips. “But the position is part- time,” said Poston, who has two years left to complete in his degree after serving three years on the SU executive. Poston said he would endeavor to teach fans to sing the U of A Cheer Song with as much spirit as he has inspired at Students’ Council meetings. “One time a group of about 30 of us stood up and started singing it and the rest of the crowd was looking at us like, ‘what are you doing?’” Poston said laughing.

But Bruch noted that Muslims at Michener Park make up a small portion of the population. “To the best of our knowledge, based on the number of people who signed the petition, we're talking about eight per cent of the population.” gateway Thursday, March 27,1997 Page 5 Oh, not again...

Recently, more films have been emerging in which women are cast alongside men in promi- nent, interesting roles.

A failure to oblige can be interpreted as a se- rious social depravation.” —Dinesh D'Souza, from “The End of Racism” At the last General Faculties Council Meeting, on March 24, a proposal was put forth by the Faculties of Education, Arts and Physical Education & Recreation and the School of Native Studies on the establishment of three new combined Degree Programs. One of those three new pro- posed Programs is the Bachelor of Arts (Na- tive Studies) / Bachelor of Education Five-Year Combined Program. The rationale behind the proposed program is that the program will allow students in- terested in the area of Native Education to undergo a high level of specialization in their area of study (Native Studies), while still be- ing trained to become teachers. At first glance, the program sounds excellent; who could ar- gue with students learning more about their area of interest? But wait, there’s more. In the proposal put forward by the School of Native Studies, under section 1A 15.10.2, it states that “[to] correct an historic dis- advantage, preference will be given to applicants of Native ancestry.” This statement is re- ally saying two things: A) his- torically, Natives have been dis- advantaged and discriminated against, and B) that to rectify the historical discrimination against Native peoples, discrimination will be used to the advantage of Native applicants to the pro- posed program. In the eyes of the School of Native Studies, appar- ently, point A seems to justify point B. Now it seems to me that no one should put up a big fight against the statement that Native peoples have been “historically disadvantaged.” It is a historical fact that Native peoples have been discriminated against in the past, and that this practice still exists in many sectors of our so- ciety. To wish to change that practice is a noble cause, and a morally right one. But the ques- tion must be asked: why is this statement needed in the Univer- sity Calendar Admission Re- quirement preamble? What does a historical disadvantage have to do specifically with admittance policies? Apparently, to some, quite a lot. But is seems that the real motivation behind the state- ment “historically disadvan- taged” is a political agenda, a motivation that is vastly differ- ent from the traditional reason for the existence of Departments and Programs: higher learning. The question must be asked: since when had it been the role of Departments and Programs in Universities and other areas of higher learning to advocate spe- cific political agendas and rectify historical grievances? Should the Department of History declare in its admission preamble that white males are the source of all evil throughout history? The idea is preposterous: the role of a University and its Faculties and Departments is to impassionately engage in the ex- changing of ideas in a quest for truth. That is all. The School of Native Studies has overstepped the boundaries of academic dis- cretion in the wording of its Na- tive Studies/ Education com- bined program admission re- quirements, and damaged the credibility of the program in the process. A good idea has been tainted by a questionable agenda. The second question that must be asked is whether or not point A of the admission pream- ble justifies point B of the pream- ble. That is to say, do historical injustices upon aboriginal peo- ple, and discrimination against them, justify discrimination in - return against the descendants of those groups who have histori- cally been in power? It says very clearly in the preamble that “prefer- ence will be given to applicants of Native ancestry,” which makes it very clear that the program desires one group of people over another. How can the School of Native Stud- ies accuse others of “historical disadvan- tage” and discrimina- tion against Native peoples, and then turn around and defend in the program preamble what has come to be known as “reverse discrimina- tion?” It is a hypocritical posi- tion, and a logically erroneous one at that. An old saying applies to the question of reverse dis- crimination: two wrongs do not make a right.

Whatever hap- pened to the idea of hard work and no hand-outs? It seems to me that all the School of Native Studies is doing in its preferen- tial treatment toward Native stu- dents is harming those that they wish to help. What the School should be doing is telling Native people that work and discipline will help alleviate the problems of the past that are still present, not demands for retribution.

Six Depron of Separati by John Guare — at the Timms ‘Conte March 27—-April 6 Professional actor, director, play- wright—28 years ago, Tom Wood was none of these; he was, in fact, a third year BFA student, graduating from the Univer- sity of Alberta and fretting about his un- certain future. “I've been walking around campus, trying to imagine myself 28 years ago,” says Wood. “A lot has changed.” In the course of directing the current Studio Theatre production of Six Degrees Blue Jordan Cook and the eres : at the Commercial Hotel March 27—-29 __ Get ready, Edniontin: the Blueschild is coming back to town! Jordan Cook, the 13-year-old from Saskatoon who has played with greats like James Cotton and toured with Colin “The kid used to be a novelty act. Now he and his band are serious musicians.” James and Big Sugar, will be playing the Commercial Hotel this weekend. The last two times Jordan performed here, he was backed by bands led by vet- eran bluesmen Big Dave MacLean of Win- nipeg and Harpdog Brown of Vancouver. This time, he will bring his own band of youngsters from Saskatoon, the Blues Boys. It’s a Stevie-Ray-Vaughan style power trio, with Jordan on guitar and vocals, S.J., 14, on bass, and Danny, 13, on drums. Jordan has been playing with Danny for six years and with S.J. for three. Jordan plays incandescent guitar and sings with real feeling. It’s a shock to see of Separation, however, Wood has ob- served that some things never change— the third year BFAs are still “exhausted, fed up, excited...they feel like brothers and sisters who’ve been to hell and back again.” Despite their woes, Wood has nothing but praise for the class. “I’ve only been working with them a few weeks but I’ve become very very attached to them. They’re talented and genuinely good peo- ple.” Speaking of talent, Tom Wood has come a long way since his graduation in 1972. After getting his first professional gig with the Citadel, Wood moved west and joined the Vancouver playhouse, playing, among other things, Alan Strand someone so small and so delicate belt out down-in-the-al- ley blues. While he sings and solos, music seems to flow out of his entire body: he’s dancing, stamping, gyrating, grimacing, strolling the bandstand, wandering through the dance floor. He clearly loves the blues. Jordan spends most of his time as a student in grade eight in Saskatoon, where he is known as He can only come here because of the Easter long weekend. He gets to tour in the summer, and played a biker convention in Nanaimo and the Yale Hotel in Vancouver Mozart.” last August. Every week, however, he rules the Saturday jam ses- sion at Bud’s on Broadway, the blues bar in Saskatoon played by touring bands. For two years or so bands passing through Saskatoon have been saying, “The kid used to be a novelty act. Now he and his band are se- rious musicians.” He and the Blues Boys put out a cas- sette a year and a half ago and are about to release a CD. Jordan has performed on several TV shows, including the CBC show Mid-day, and a feature on him ap- peared on the CBC Newsworld network last year. Jordan has a big following in Edmon- ton, so get there early if you want to let the bse times roll. entertainment Entertainment Editor: Scott Sharplin 492-7052 BACK WHERE IT ALL BEGAN in Peter Shaffer’s Equus. He also spent a few years at the Stratford and Shaw Festivals, be- fore returning to Edmonton in the 80s and helping to create a_ truly amazing theatrical phenomenon: the early years of the Phoenix Theatre. Under Artistic Di- rector Bob Baker, Wood bowled Ed- monton over with his performances in Torch Song Tril- ogy and Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You, and his fabulously success- ful playwriting de- but, B-MOVIE, the Play. After leaving the Phoenix, Wood has also appeared in hits like Breaking the Code, La Béte, and, most recently, Tony Kushner’s Angels in America, Parts 1 and 2. “I cried when I heard about the Phoe- nix last month,” says Wood, referring to the theatre company’s recent demise due to fiscal strain. “It filled a very specific niche in the community here ... it was the only theatre in Canada that allowed me to take the sort of chances I took.” How- ever, his outlook on the Edmonton theat- rical community in general couldn’t be better. “I’ve worked in almost every city in Canada ... I’ve found that Edmonton has always had the most remarkable thea- tre community. There’s less back-biting, less politics ... more of a real feeling of sharing.” In general, Wood feels that Canada’s Jaroslaw Malanowski “the blues So, like, important ineneaion be in lertainment volunteers and readers alike: day's Gateway, | ran a photo of a sculpture attributed to Jill Fisher.

In last Thurs- : theatrical scene is shaky, at best. His new play, Claptrap, examines the phenomenon of British imperialism in Canadian thea- tre, and Canada’s seemingly inexorable inferiority complex. “If we could realize it, we would understand that we have the best of both worlds—a bit of method act- ing, a bit of British technique,” observes Wood about the status of Canadian drama. But “there are a lot of British bul- lies” who dominate the theatrical scene— and “importing American musicals cast with American actors” doesn’t help the situation, either. “We can’t seem to recognize talent un- less it’s been approved by the British or the Americans—our own artists get ig- nored,” Wood points out that French-Ca- nadian culture doesn’t seem to have the same problem. “They don’t have Paris constantly peering over their shoulder; they really do have to make their own culture. We have to look at that example, as a nation,” Issues about art resonate through John Guare’s Six Degrees of Separation, which opens at the Timms Centre this week. Wood has nothing but admiration for the play: “It’s so accessible and funny...but it creeps up on you”—a trait which, ac- cording to Wood, denotes a “master play- wright” at work. At its heart, says Wood, the play is about things that intersect—a clash between the world of insulated apartments and urban decay on the streets. “It’s a weird little piece,” confesses Wood, “it’s like three different plays. One play is about the art world...another un- folds a bit like a PBS mystery...and the last is a beautiful drama hinging on one woman’s epiphany.” He also points out, for those who have seen the movie ver- sion of Six Degrees, that “it is a much bet- ter play than it is a movie.

Dekes are a rebellious group of men in spirit with an easy going, friendly attitude. Dekes have maintained a tight bond in their brotherhood and developed a strong tradition at its core. Dekes are lead- ers, individuals, and most of all, friends from the heart, forever. Over the next four months, the Dekes will be looking for some new men to join their fraternity in the coming year.

The way it reflected underneath the Gateway's fluorescent lights gave me goosebumps. “But what about the music?” Well, the music on Eating February is sung by foxy Julie Daniels. She sounds a bit like the singer from Evé’s Plum, if this:helps any. Or Bif Naked, minus the screaming. She sounds both intense and melodic as her voice whirls around a backdrop of faultless pop-rock en- ergy. The first track is, “You are Here”, which blends Julie’s voice and Johnny Haro’s drums perfectly. “I’m Insane” is a slower tune that shows off what gentle riffs the two guitarists can produce.

Singing just a few of the songs from his new release Clint East Woody Allen Alda, Bee jumped from originals to covers with the greatest of ease. His version of “Sunglasses At Night” made it listenable and the Guess Who’s “American Woman” was slow and lounge noir. He sang to all the ladies in the house, including the wait staff. He serenaded one waitress with “You Put The Babe In Baby,” sounding somewhat like a dirty old man singing about her ass. Before the en- core, he launched into a stylish version of the “Love Boat Theme.” Besides the gig being sponsored by Smirnoff Vodka and offering scratch and win cards to win a trip to Vegas with Jaymz Bee, being able to witness a living legend live made the evening charming and so memo- rable.

And I want you to listen, and I want you to believe me, and I want you to agree with me.” What was the one thing? “Go for it.” Kugler went for it. The result is Northern Light's pro- duction of a renowned Canadian playwright’s exploration of death and ritual, creation and desecration, art and life. The play premiered in Vancouver one year ago, but Kugler’s production is a brand | new version, with a new character, about 60 pages cut and other sections rewrit- ten, and new musical ac- companiment bya live gui- tar player, Ellen McIlwaine. “A lot of the plays we know all seem like the same story,” explains Kugler, when asked about the distinctive- ness of True Mummy, “But I would be willing to give money back to anyone who could tell me, after the first half of this play, where the story was going.” In other words, it’s like nothing you've seen before. Melinda Sutton’s set de- sign reflects that: the play is performed upon an enormous mound of dirt, surrounded by runic stone tablets and overseen by an Egyptian Princess perched on a tower. “We've tried to transform the entirety of the Arts Barns into a sacred place,” says Kugler. Questions about the sacred and the profane wrap themselves around Cone’s script like strips of gauze around Boris Karloff. “The play is a discussion—a dialec- tic between creation and desecration,” says Kugler. “Is it mandatory to desecreate in order to create? If we try to fulfil our own needs, do we have to step on other people’s hopes and dreams?” The title of the piece comes from an artistic term fora veneer-like substance derived from the cremated remains of Egyptian mummies and RORTHERN LIteset TNRATRE 8 p.m.- Coolest Gat's W CENTRE S¢ a COpy...

Don Kugler is certainly no stranger to risk-taking. In 1993, when Kugler became artistic director of Northern Light Theatre, he began his tenure with a reworking of Thomas Middleton’s Jacobean drama Women Beware Women, garnering an unprecedented eight Sterling Award nominations. Since then, he’s continued to challenge and entice audiences with daring, extraordinary theatre. But perhaps his biggest risk was in approaching Cone to do True Mummy. “I'd read the script, and I called up Tom and said ‘Tom, I'd like to do this, but there’s too much to it.’ ]envisioned a leaner, meaner play inside of it.” In June, Kugler flew to Ottawa, and over the course of four days, he and Cone stripped 60 pages off — [rue Mummy, resulting in a relentless, 50- minute piece of lean, mean theatre. “I realized our work there was really reflecting the ideas in the play,” recalls Kugler, “in trying to create this piece, we’re tearing the play apart—but I know we're going to create a better one.” After the revisions, Kugler had to backtrack a little. “I wanted to give the audience a bit more breath between scenes, to let them take it all in.” So he started looking for a musician whose sound and image would complement the play. In a bar in Banff, he discovered Ellen Mcllwaine, a slide guitarist whose experience extends as far back as Woodstock (the first one). “I told her we were doing a play, and asked her if she knew anything about creation and desecration. She said “Oh yeah!’” Mcllwaine’s musical role in the play will underscore the stories of three modem creators and destroyers, played by Brian Taylor, Jill Dyck and Stephanie Wolfe, and the nar- rative of the Egyptial Princess played by Jessica Carmichael. The play runs until April 6 in the Open Space of the Arts Barns, 10330 84 Ave., Tuesday to Sunday at 8:00 p.m. Tick- ets for $14 for students, or Pay What You Can on Sunday. tainment!

The triangle in André Techine’s Thieves also involves two women with a man as an outsider, but it is no frothy, Billy Baldwin romp. Juliette is a two-bit perfume shoplifter who gets busted by Alex (Auteuil), the same cop who threw her brother in the slammer for “borrowing” cars. Alex lets Juliette go, and doesn’t give her a second thought until months later, when he sees her on the street. She seduces him. They go to a hotel room. They have sex. Right in front of an open window, I might add. They meet several times a week in vari- ous hotel rooms for passionless trysts. Alex doesn’t think much of Juliette until she tells him about her philosophy pro- fessor, Marie (Deneuve), who also turns out to be her lover. Now, knowing this, Alex finds Juliette much more tantalizing. It is at this point that Juliette disap- pears, on the run from a botched car heist with her newly released brother, Jimmy. Alex can’t track her down, so he starts sit- ting in on Marie’s classes to catch a glimpse of why Juliette is in love with this woman. Alex steadily falls in love with Marie, yet neither of them can get their minds off the troubled Juliette. The film is divided into different nar- ratives with characters telling the story from their own point of view. There are also titles inserted between sequences to make the audience aware of what is hap- pening at what moment in time. Unfortu- nately, the whole thing comes off like a second-rate Goddard rip-off. I kept think- ing while watching it that I’m glad I’m not a film major anymore, because this is the sort of emetic drivel they made us watch. All the characters talk with such little ex- pression in their faces that I’m left won- dering where the French school of acting is, and when I can bomb it. Thieves is a typical French film; all talk, no action. Cheque, please! : Chris Whitley oe Jerra Incognita — Work/Sony Chris Whitley’s latest release has some quieter folky numbers like those on his acous- tic debut album Living with the Law, which was produced by Daniel Lanois. Terra Incognita also features a few straight-ahead rock num- bers like those on Din of Ecstasy, his second album. But this time around, Whitley adds a new dimension to his third album by experimenting with the psychedelic. Several songs like “Aerial” and “Still Point” incorporate circular disco grooves and dis- torted electric guitars. They form quite an interesting marriage with Whitley’s unique vocals. Whitley’s voice is soulful, but never strained. His voice actually sounds kind of sedated at times. But crooning over the driving disco beat, his drawling voice mesmerizes you instead of putting you to sleep. The words and music of “Still Point” gel perfectly in asomewhat absurdist statement. Whitley keeps repeating the line “still point of the moving world” over and over again like a broken record, but at the same time, the pulsing disco rhythm keeps doing its own thing. Then you realize that Whitley's voice embodies the “still point,” and the funky disco pattern ends up being the “moving world.” Oooooo, how clever. A lot of critics have praised Whitley for being a great lyri- cist, but Whitley is really more stream-of-conscious than pro- found. It’s not really the lyrics that make Whitley's music hnis Whitley memorable. It’s his unique way of tucking them into perfectly fit- ting pockets of sound. Verses tend to be repeti- tive, but they work very well with Whitley’s cir- cular rhythm patterns. Terra Incognita is a di- verse, interesting album by an artist who defi- nitely has a style of his SRA INCDOMITA Good Times Had By All!!

Full of fighting, royalty and blood, it’s a play that would’ve certainly pleased its origi- nal 16th century audience, but hardly one of Shakespeare’s pre-eminent works, and quite tedious to read. Watching this play I was re- minded that Shakespeare isn’t meant to be read, and experiencing this play in the proper medium proved to be most entertaining. Henry IV is the story of two exceptional young men who hold the destiny of all of England in their hands. Prince Hal (Mark Meer) is a rebellious young prince who must mend his ways (and his relationship with his father) and become a hero. Lord Hotspur (Keath Thome) is the anti-hero who leads a rebellion to usurp the king. This all takes place in the forbidding court of Henry IV (John Sproule) and there is much clashing of rela- tionships, identity, and swords. cere es THE BARD The ingenious design of the set, created by David Belke, leant itself well to the hur- ried tramping of the agitated actors. John Sproule was admirable and comfortable in his role of Henry IV and was very convincing as aking. Keath Tome played a frenzied Hotspur with all the passion necessary to the role— one tended to expect him to start foa ing at the mouth at any mo- Moen ft. Falstaff was brilliantly acted by Glenn Nel- son, whose portrayal of the rousing fool was both hilari- ous and touching. Mark Meer gave the most remarkable per- formance as Prince Hal. Meer’s anger was nothing short of terrifying—one of his glares surely enough to stop the hearts of his en- emies.

And a spe- cial mention to Vanessa Porteous for her feisty performance as Lady Percy. Effective lighting and great costuming (how do they do that on their limited budget?) added to this play, as did excellent direction. While there were scenes in the play which, when read, are monotonous, Hudson was able to bring them to life. Though there were slow moments in the first act, the second act went by incredibly quickly and the fight scene was superior.

The university career of fifth- year University of Alberta Golden Bear Paul Strand has been a story of perseverance and determination. In the last three years Strand has stepped to the forefront making himself visible as a team leader in the Golden Bears dressing room and an offensive leader on the ice. With a total of 161 Canada West points Strand sits tied for fifth in Golden Bears Canada West career scoring, Strand also has 242 overall points to rank fifth in Golden Bears overall scoring. “The career that I had here is beyond what I expected,” said Strand. However, all 242 points were hard earned. In fact, in 1991-92, their first crack at the Golden Bears line-up, Strand and close friend and Golden Bear teammate Daryn Krywko were cut. Strand returned to the Fort Saskatchewan Traders of the AJHL and improved his game, the next year Strand gave it another shot and the rest is history. “[Getting cut] is tough to get used to, but if you can’t get something out of it ... then you shouldn’t be playing the sport, you shouldn't be in life for Christ’s sake,” said Strand. In Strand’s rookie season he was used sparingly as the team captured the U of A’s 38th Canada West title and returned to the CIAU championship. Although he saw little ice time and the team fell in the semi-finals to the Acadia Axemen Strand took a great deal away from the experience. “T've often said to Daryn that , that year was probably the best year of hockey I’ve ever had I never even played,” said Strand. “I remember the final game that got us into nationals, there was about 10 minutes left in the third and we were up by two goals, or what not, and | knew I wasn’t going to see the ice and I took off my helmet, took off my gloves, and I got on the bench and started cheering. I was just so happy, it was like; ‘this is the team, this is what I’ve always wanted to be part of, everybody believing that they had to make a sacrifice’.” Strand always expected to Sports Editor: Wade Tymchak 492-506 Strand says farewell return to the CIAU championship on an annual basis, it would be four years before the Golden Bears could make a failed bid for the University Cup. “Tt pissed me off that we didn’t win and I said; ‘we got to do better next year’ and we set the sights right there ... and it didn’t quite turn out the way | wanted it the next couple seasons,” said Strand. In those four years the legendary Bill Moores passed the coaching reigns on to Peter Esdale in 1994-95 and the program deteriorated in that year. The Bears posted a losing record and missed the playoffs, two things that rarely happen at the University of Alberta. “That was a year that | think shouldn’t have happened,” said Strand. “It didn’t have to be that way, the personnel we had and the players and the coaching, it did not have to end that way.” However, for Strand the Esdale year was his coming out year as a leader both in the dressing room and on the ice. Following the terrible tragedy that was the Esdale year the Golden Bears rebounded in 95-96 to post the second best the second best record in Canada West under another new head coach, Rob Daum. “] gained more confidence in my third year,” said Strand. Strand led the team with 44 points in 95-96, but the thankful resurrection of the Golden Bears program was punctuated witha dark event. In March of 1996 Paul Strand’s close friend and Golden Bear teammate Mark Goodkey was killed in a recreational hockey tournament. The loss of Goodkey was devastating to Strand and the result was that he gained a new appreciation for life and for living. “You change your perspective a little bit whenever anything like that happens,” said Strand. “I think I just came to enjoy a lot of things more. It may be acliché, but it does put things in perspective. You got to enjoy stuff while you can.” The other effect that the loss of Goodkey had on Strand is that it motivated him and _ his teammates to new heights. Ever so quietly, Mark Goodkey’s File Photo/Wade Tymchak Paul Strand (#16) dedicated five years to a program that cut him the first year he volunteered his services. death was used a_ silent motivator for this year and the results were amazing. The Bears again finished second in Canada West, were ranked number one in the CIAU, won the U of A’s 39th conference title, and earned a trip to the national tournament in Toronto. “TGoodkey’s death] gave a little motivation, gave a little camaraderie,” said Strand. The Bears fell 4-3 in overtime to the University of New Brunswick in the CIAU semi- finals to cap off Paul Strand’s U of A career. The loss was devastating to the Golden Bears assistant captain and was one of only a few regrets that he had in his five years as a Golden Bear. “Tt honestly has not quite hit yet,” said Strand, “the fact that I have left here after five years without getting [a CIAU title].” Through it all Strand has accomplished more than he planned. He became a better person and a better player. “Every time I knew I was coming to camp the next year ... I wanted always to take that next step,” said Strand. “I knew that what I had the year before wasn’t necessarily going to be good enough and I had to make myself better. The difference in myself as a player is 180 from what it was in the first year.” From here Strand goes to Detroit to play for Team CIAU in the first World University Hockey Challenge against Team NCAA. After that showcase event Strand returns for the U of A’s Coior Night and his last hurrah as a U of A athlete. From there Strand takes his perseverance and determination to whatever organization will have him.

The University of Alberta tennis team, consisting largely of first-year players, came within an inch of defeating York University, whose team includes many former NCAA players for the University Cup in Toronto. The University Cup features the top team from Western Canada versus the top team from Eastern Canada and is sponsored by Tennis Canada. Freshman phenom, Brendan Storey, played well in the first singles match, defeating Jason Pun of York in two straight sets. “I'd never played in a team competition like this before Westerns. The University Cup was probably the highest level of team competition I’ve ever played before,” said Storey. The second match also went considerably well, with Alberta’s Bryce Southworth downing Flavio Vanacore of York by scores of 6-2 and 6-2. The winning streak continued, with the U of A’s Adam Merrick dusting off James Weatherall 3-6, 6- 3 and 6-4. Then the momentum changed and York took over the singles competition. Ben Horcica, Corey Stewart and Kevin Longworth all dropped hard- fought matches to their adversaries from York. This put the teams into a tie with the doubles events yet to begin. Things looked good off the start, with Storey and Southworth pair from the U of A put forth victorious. And then came the switc again. The doubles teams of Merric O’Connor both went down to th pairs from York, giving York th tournament, five matches to four. Overall, the team was extremel impressed with their play. “We weren't expecting to maki it that close. From last year we’v lost four of our top six players t graduation,” said Stewart.

The : strong showing and came up and Stewart, and Horcica and : behind their considerably older opponent, York University was expecting to walk over the defending national champions from Alberta. “They were really surprised and shocked. It was nice, even though we didn’t win, just to see the look on their faces and how surprised they were. They were getting pretty nervous at the end,” Stewart said. Next year the University Cup will be contested in the west and 1998 may mark the inaugural year for tennis as a CIAU sanctioned sport.

NATIONAL GRADUATE REGISTER ad | Canada http://ngr.schoolnet.ca * gateway Thursday, March 27, 1997 Page 17 Well here we are with a blank page to fill, and no ideas to speak of. So let's talk about.a game where most of the players are blank and have no ideas — baseball. Anyway, we apologize in advance for this article. If anything offends you, stuff a sock in it. And if you liked it, then you probably need psychiatric help. Lord knows we do. A: Why are we writing about a a Yee The new baseball order sport that is more corrupt than the Lyndon Johnson administration? W: Well... because I like 1950’s baseball. A: 1950's eh, well that explains your wardrobe. Yeah, I used to love this game, but when crappy players get more money than the GNP of small African countries, something’s wrong. I guess I'll watch the playoffs though. So who’s going to be in the post-season, Fuckwaldo? W: I see you’ve once again improved your vocabulary with Reader's Digest, but it’s too bad your eyesight hasn’t improved. If your brain was half as intelligent as mine you’d see my picks under my picture. So what do you think of them you lobotomized monkey? A: Your brain? Isn’t that thing floating in formaldehyde after you traded it for a Pat LaFontaine rookie card because you said, “I need no brain no more, since I got hooked on phonics.” I guess I missed the picks up top. Let’s start with the NL, the Expos and Astros? Have you been hanging out in Ponoka lately? W: If you weren't trying to stick a banana up your ass you'd see the NL Central is weak and the Reds line-up is deeper than three Cardinal hitters and two wannabe pitchers. As for the Expos, Felipe Alou is like David Copperfield, he can make something out of nothing. A: Umm, you know if you’d stop beating yourself up with that ruler, you'd notice that La Russa can manage a bit. The Reds are a great team, if you sent their current roster ina time machine to 1990. And like Across from the Garneau Theatre on 109th Street Garneau Theatre 109th St. 82(Whyte) Ave. he i Whe he * Limit One Coupon Per Customer Per Day ee ee ee ee eee ee ee ee ke ee ete eS eee ee oa the Expos too, but Felipe can’t out manage the Fort Knox—um, I mean Florida Marlins who had one of the best pitchers in the league last year (Brown), and bought all-stars Alex Fernandez, Alou, and Bonilla. W: 1990 my ass!!! But at least you underwent a short spike in intelligence because we both agreed about the last two NL rounds. Unfortunately, I see that the intelligence spike didn’t last long. How in could you not pick the Yanks to win the AL East? A: Whoa there, Lord of Lameness. The only way the Yankees will win is if they spend another $50 million on players that are worth one-fourth of that. The only reason they won the World Series last year is that Bobby Cox can’t manage and Atlanta likes to drop easy fly balls in 0-0 games. Petite was a one year wonder and the Yankee clubhouse now has as much dissension as a typical Kremlin meeting. Put it together and you have a overpriced, overrated team that goes nowhere. The Orioles have dumped the big earring wearing plugs like Bonilla, replacing them with character players like Key and Bordick. They will easily take out Team Evil in the AL East. W: Granted I picked the Yankees out of some demented sense of loyalty, funny you'd think that would have been destroyed at the Gateway. Anyway, Baltimore's good, but they have a way of choking. I have about as much faith in the Orioles as I do in your ability to stand upright, and if you think Baltimore’s going to the series you forgot about Cleveland, Chicago, and Seattle, didn’t you? A: So did you dipshit, when you picked the Yankees. Lost your short term memory again, did you? I told you that glue sticks were bad for your health, especially when you started eating them. Baltimore has a little something important that the other three teams don’t—it’s called pitching. Cleveland’s reliever died in a fiery boat—er oops that was the old one—will be in jail visiting with some guy named Bubba by mid- season. So suck me. W: Yeah, Ill suck you when I win the World Series. Speaking of which, who do you and your band of baseball elves have planned to win the World Series... Mexico? A: After a tough clutch NLCS win over the Dodgers, Atlanta will try in vain to choke again in the World Series. This time, with Lofton the Braves have some clutch defense to go with the god-like pitching of Maddux, Smoltz, and Glavine. Still they are good at choking, so it'll take them seven games to beat Baltimore. W: Blah, blah, blah, I love Atlanta, blah, blah, blah, I want to have Greg Maddux’s love child, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, Atlanta is good at choking and they’ll do it again. They lost to NY last year, they'll do it again, in seven games this time. So as “Wild Thing” Vaughn said, “Blow me ump!!!” A: Wade, the only thing you blow is goats. I said choke a lot, not love. How do you get love out of choke? Never mind, I don’t want to know that answer. Anyway, yeah I like the Braves, but at least I don’t bend over a chair at the sight of Pinstripes and a Yankees insignia. W: You know what, it doesn’t matter because nobody gives a flying fuck about this article. A: Tymchak, quit being such a doorknob. You know damn well that nobody on campus givesa rat's ass about the whole paper anymore.
