Vancouver will definitely be CY targ By JANICE IRVING

The sound is so loud and the one megaton ground burst missile could have exploded on campus instead of its target of Vancouver Inter- national Airport.

Every window in Gage Towers shatters simultaneously as the buildings crumple in upon themselves.

A student lies in the nearby parking lot - huge shards of shattered glass protruding from her body.

Others were crushed by the Buchanan Tower as it fell.

SUB is a concrete heap, like every other building on campus, except the wooden ones - they are on fire from the distant heat surge.

Another student, suffering second-degree burns screams when he discovers he has been blinded from watching the blast.

Black smoke rises from the South part of the burning Endowment Lands.

Another distant explosion from Vancouver Harbour resounds as a one megaton air burst destroys most of the lower mainland, from UBC to Simon Fraser University.

A hurricane-like wind whips dust and radioac- tive debris everywhere.

There is another explosion as a half megaton air burst hits Port Moody and Coquitlam.

In a matter of minutes, 90per cent of thepeo- ple in the lower mainland are dead or dying. On campus, about 60 per cent of the popula-

tion Is dead. The city of Vancouver is smouldering rubble. This is only the first assault of World War 111.

Crawford Killian is a man with a manuscript

- but no publisher. The writer, columnist and Capilano Col1t:gc:

professor, has writen a manuscript called ]YO Man’s Land, about Canada in the Third World War.

Kilian has successfully published several science fiction novels as well as last year’; “School Wars”, an analysis of the education system in B.C., but editors won’t publish No Man’s Land because it’s “too grim” says Kilian.

He says he wrote the manuscript in an attempt to replace Canadian’s fears about war with facts.

Vancouver would be h i t by about 2% megatons, which is the equivalent of almost 200 Hiroshimas, according to Kilian’s research.

B.C. post-nuclear war survivors of the f iht strike would live in small communities far. from any industrial centres because these would btz destroyed, he say!;.

“. . .They would have to make B.C. unable to sustain a large population with an industrid economy. That means destroying its agricultum, forests, mines and manufacturing as well as the greatest possible rlumber of its most highly sk;il‘- ed people,” Kilian wrote in a 1985 Province newspaper story.

He says the war would end only when b’oth combatants - the U.S. and the Soviets are unable to continue fighting.

“Missile warfare is based on the use it o r lose it theory,” he says, because if missiles are not launched in the first seven minutes, they never will be.

Hit by a total of 10 megatons, B.C. could be considered “lucky” when compared to it’s si!jtt r U.S. coastal city, Los Angeles, which wculd. be

ple, a set of bolts attached to valves in the plant’s primary cooling system came loose, rattled through the reactor and were never found.

Oleksiak said the N reactor was the last of nine plutonium produc- tion plants still operating at the 570 square mile Hanford nuclear reser- vation, located near the junction of the Yakima and Columbia rivers in southeastern Washington.

The complex manufactured the plutonium for the Nagasaki bomb and over 60 per cent of the nation’s plutonium since then, she said.

Oleksiak documented a number of other accidents at the Hanford

radioact ive f luid during the plutonium-uranium separation pro- cess in the 1970s.

Oleksiak said Hanford still seems the favored choice in the current selection of a dump site for over 70,000 tonnes of nuclear waste, although the combination of waste storage and plutonium processing facilities is a deadly one.

“One parallel occurred in the Urals in the Soviet Union in 1958, when there was a huge explosion in- volving plutonium processing facilities and radioactive waste storage. We don’t know a lot about that accident, but we d o know that

complex including the release of plutonium oxide in 1984 and the spill of over 1,500,000 litres of

the plutonium processing plant was built as a copy, pipe by pipe, of the extraction plant at Hanford.”

Candidates rated By BRAD NEWCOMBE

A campaign to allow every voter in B.C. to grade each candidate in the next federal election according to where he or she stands on peace and disarmament issues is under- way.

Thirty thousand “peace vote” pledge cards have been distributed to B.C. residents by a coalition of B.C. peace groups and more are be- ing printed.

The ‘Peace Vote’ Pledge Cam- paign is part of an election strategy to highlight disarmament issues and to pressure politicians to take a stand on nuclear issues said vice- president of End The Arms Race, Shana Lambert.

The grassroots movement is co- sponsored by End The Arms Race, a coalition of 320 peace support groups in B.C., including UBC’s Students for Peace and Mutual Disarmament, and the Coalition of Riding Committees.

Everyone who signs the pledge cards will receive a detailed account

et in W Ill hit by 251 megatons, Kilian says.

“Survivors would have no water, no electrici- ty and little food,” Kilian writes. “Many would be severely burned, maimed, and in shock. Those exposed to lethal doses of fallout (debris from the explosions) would die within two or three days. Those with less severe doses would suffer vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms. With adequate care they would recover, but with weakened immune systems and a strong chance of developing cancer.

Vancouver and its surrounding mountains would be destroyed in a firestorm which could cause a nuclear winter, or in B.C.’s case, a “nuclear autumn,” says Kilian. This would be less severe than the intense cold the rest of the continent would endure.

But, Killian says B.C. would suffer violent hurricanes, acid and radioactive rain, con- taminating virtually all fresh water.

Society as we know it would be gone, he says, and survivors would exist in feudal conditions, struggling to survive.

Some local peace organizations have recently expressed concern about the increased number of U.S. warships which visit Vancouver.

Kilian says even if Vancovuer does not become a U.S. naval base it will be at risk.

“We’d still be a target.” The only way a nuclear holocaust can be

avoided is if Canadians banc together and lobby the Federal government to stop all activities that promote war, including the manufacture and sale of plutonium, he says.

“We must put steady pressure on our politi- cians if we are to survive this,” he says. “We can’t afford to blindly follow the Americans anymore.”

of federal candidates’ positions on the presence of ships carrying nuclear warheads in Canadian waters, NATO low-level flight testing of bombers in Labrador, continued testing of the cruise missile, Canada’s participation in Star Wars and a comprehensive nuclear weapons test ban.

“We are putting in place a struc- ture through which the peace move- ment can operate and channel its concerns,” said Lambert.

The campaign was launched in April 1986 following the September Walk for Peace, a door-to-door canvass which took place in Van- couver to raise awareness of nuclear issues. The group initiating the campaign is non-partisan and “will never tell anyone how to vote,” said Lambert.

By receiving federal ministers responses to the cards, and knowing the stance of opposition candidates, citizens will be able to vote in- telligently in the next federal elec- tion and encourage the Canadian government to adopt policies con- sistent with the goals of End The Arms Race, said Lambert.

The campaign also seeks to press for the reduction and eventual ’ elimination of all nuclear weapons and the money saved will be diverted to fund human needs in- stead.

Thomas Perry Sr., a UBC pro- fessor in the faculty of medicine and a campaign volunteer, is active in the Vancouver-Quadra riding moni tor ing what Oppos i t ion Leader John Turner ‘says or doesn’t say’ on peace issues. H e gives Turner almost “zero marks” on any issue relating to peace and disarmament.

The local Vancouver riding com- mittee involved in the “peace vote” campaign has met with Turner on several occasions, and Perry said Turner has said on record he sup- portes the testing of the cruise missile. He has also held back on in- sisting Canada urge the U.S. to stop nuclear weapons testing and res- pond positively to the Soviet con- cessions on test bans proposed at Reykjavik.

The “peace vote” campaign in- volves many volunteers and needs broad public support because, “the prevention of nuclear war should be t h e p r i m a r y i s s u e f o r a l l Canadians,” said Perry.

He believes that it is “criminal” that billions of dollars are being wasted on arms while people suffer around the world, including the thousands of families in B.C. who rely on food banks to survive.

Uranium mining protested By ROSS McLAREN

B.C. environment groups say they will protest if B.C. uranium ex- ploration starts again next spring after a seven-year moratorium.

Uranium mining will be brought up next month when a government task force meets mining industry of- ficials to discuss ways to revitalize the ailing industry, said Jake Banky, B.C. government com- munication branch director.

B u t e n v i r o n m e n t a l g r o u p s haven’t been invited to participate in the task force with the B.C. Min- ing Associations the Coal Associa- tion of B.C. and the B.C. and Yukon Chamber of Mines.

Uranium exploration in B.C. was discontinued seven years ago when citizen groups in the Interior and national environmental groups like Greenpeace and the Sierra club pro- tested.

T h e g o u p s s a i d e x i s t i n g technology was not capable of preventing uranium in tailing ponds from “leeching” into rivers and lakes used for drinking water.

Katy Madsen, a Sierra club

member involved in the 1979 pro- test, said the Kelowna Health Unit found abnormally high levels of radiation in Kelowna’s drinking water after several companies drill- ed for uranium near Kelowna’s watershed.

Then-premier Bill Bennett ap- plied the moratorium as a result.

“It is clearly the mood of the people of this province that they are not prepared to live with uranium mining,” he said at the time.

Now that the moratorium is near its end, the mining industry is pushing for uranium exploration.

Jack Patterson, managing direc- tor of the B.C. and Yukon Chamber of Mines, said the moratorium was a mistake that put B.C. mining back ten years.

“Uranium mining is as safe as driving a car. If the conditions are safe, if the car is safe, and safe drivers are on the road, there will be no accidents,” he said.

Student DroDoses new agenda - By RICK HIEBERT

Robert Sanzalone, a third year Arts major, is running for a posi- tion on the Vancouver School Board in the November 15 municipal election. The Non- Partisan Association candidate wants to increase education fun- ding, help reform the School Board and promote a city-wide high school student council.

“I’d like to reuresent a different

I I part of the community - the students,” Sanzalone said. A stu- dent perspective would be a “dif- ferent perspective and, 1 think, a valuable one.”

Sanzalone, who ran as an in- dependent for the School Board in 1984, said “1 observed that there was definitely a need for more money. Teachers weren’t screaming for nothing.” There was something wrong with that policy, he said.

~

“ I think there’s more funding needed, but you can’t get il the way COPE (the Committee of Pro- gressive Electors) w a m to do it,” said Sanzalone.

“If you’re going ‘to sit and scream at someone, !,ou’rc not go- ing to get anything achieved. But i f you can sit down and negotiate, say ‘look, this is why we need more,’ then maybe !‘ou might get somewhere,” he said

~

“W - Sanzalone said the confronta-

tional approach of the COPE ma- jority on the School Board led the Socreds to dissolve i t in 1985.

Sanzalone argues for reform of the Vancouver School Board: -“The administrative element of the Van- couver School Board is top heavy, and there’s a lot of inefficiencies in the administration. We want to fun- nel all resources to the classroom.”

He said an NPA controlled

Students Allied for Vancouver Education, the high school group concerned with education restraint.

“Most of the people, most of the students involved with SAVE are sons or daughters or friends of, i t they aren’t people who are bery closely related to, COPE. They’re like the COPE farm team,” he said.

Sanzalone commented on the School Board would examine this administrative problem and “ i f we find it necessary, we’ll streamline i t . ”

Sanzalone also likes the idea of a city-wide student council, with one representative, probably the student council presldent, from each of the city’s 18 high schools. This council, said Sanzalone, could give students a forum to discuss education issues and would ‘help guarantee student

planned city-wide student con- ference on education planned by SAVE for November 13.

“The reason why they are putting it (the conference) together is to legitimatize themselves and their own policies. They’re not represen- tative of the student’s opinions at all. They’re going to go to the media and say “this is what the students of Vancouver think, but it’s not.”

Carling ties kept By CORINNE BJORGE

A motion to sever business ties w i t h C a r l i n g O ’ K e e f e a n d Rothmans products because of their South American connections was defeated Wednesday by student council.

The motLon, which required a Iwo-thirds majority to pass, was defeated 2313. AMS director of finance Jamie Collins said Carling sales in the Pit Pub and Gallery Lounge are about $270,000 a year - 30 per cent of total bar sales.

AMS president Simon Seashadri has said that council makes deci- sions that affect students as students while apartheid affects students as people.

Michael Moeti of Students for a Free South Africa, said he was ap- palled by council’s decision not to boycott Carling.

“They took no account of the outside world”, he said. “They seemed mor” pre-occupied in how it would hurt themselves.”

By JOHN GUSHUE Canadian University Press

OTTAWA (CUP) - The U.S. government is pushing for comple- tion of Strategic Defence Initiative research, despite protests from the world research community, say some researchers.

David Parnas, the University of Victoria computer scientist who became a celebrity last year when he resigned from a panel advising on SDI software, says the U.S. govern- ment is awarding Star Wars con- tracts to most any researcher, regardless of their qualifications.

“They’re supporting a lot of se- cond rate work. I’ve had some in- sight into the work (so far), and it’s quite second rate,” said Parnas, now at Queen’s University in Kingston.

Although many prominent scien- tists have denounced Star Wars as unfeasible, and in many cases im- moral, Parnas said the Reagan ad- ministration “has studiously ig- nored” anti-SDI petitions.

Parnas resigned from the ad- visory panel saying it is impossible to design software that will match the Pentagon’s demands for first- time success.

“We have never had software that works completely the first time that it’s used,” said Parnas.

“And there’s no way that this software would work on the first time, and there wouldn’t be a se-

cond time,” he said. Petitions against SDI were cir-

culated last year on several Cana- dian campuses, including McMaster, Waterloo and British Columbia. Researchers at McGill recently sign- ed a petition to refuse SDI funding.

The Mulroney government decid- ed a year ago that although Canada would not participate directly in the program, Canadian researchers and businesses were eligible to compete for lucrative Star Wars grants.

However, John Hepburn, a laser specialist who signed the petition at the University of Waterloo, fears the petition did little to affect government military policy.

“They were well received in the academic community, but they weren’t (by government),” said Hepburn. “I think they were put in a box and left there.”

Hepburn doubts there is much Star Wars research in Canada. “I’d be surprised if nobody (in Canada) had any money, but I’d be more surprised if there’s a lot of money here,” he said.

But Hepburn said if there is Star Wars money in Canada, it is due more to the poor status of research here than opposition to the pro- gram.

“Why should they bother with Canadian universities? They’re fall- ing apart. They’d do better with the Americans or the Japanese,” said Hepburn.

action”. But a handout from Students for

a Free South Africa says that the argument against making a moral choice was “silly.” It says in- dividual students did not have freedom to choose which breweries the Pit deals with.

Council member Phil Ross said the debate centres on who the AMS chooses to do business with.

“Retail sales is n& an a moral act,” he said.

A count of faculty represen- tatives who had approached their constituents on the question of a boycott showed the majority were against AMS approval of the rno- tion.

Moeti said that the constituent vote against the motion was due to a lack of information.

“We were not invited to par- ticipate in discussions by the representatives,” he said.

Seshadri disagreed. “At this time they (the faculties) got as balanced a view as they’re going to get. They’re pretty indicative of the views on campus. . .I’m surprised that Moeti said that considering that he was quite ready to have council vote on it at the previous meeting without all the information in front o f them,” said Seshadri.

Council passed a separate motion condemning apartheid and con- sidered a motion to send $500 to South Africa through the Inrerna- tional Defence and Aid Fund which gives ass is tance to pol i t ical prisoners and their families.

Several council members backed the motion as a more concrete ac- tion than economic sanctions.

But John Graham, Oxfam of- ficial, said economic sanctions were more important than giving $500.

Moeti agreed. “What is $500 going to d o when

you prop up a company (like Carl- ing),” he said. ”It’s an insult to the oppressed in South Africa.”

The decision to send $500 was tabled by council until further research could be done into the fund.

Council also passed a motion to hold a referendum in the issue dur- ing the student elections on January 28-30. The referendum will ask students to vote on a boycott of Carling and Rothmans’ products. It will require a quorum of ten per cent of the students, with a 50.1 per cent majority vote.

Moeti said he was optimistic the referendum would show students support a boycott.

Seshadri said that the result of the referendum would depend a lot on the voter turnout. “It seems that in emotional votes like this, holding the referendum with the election will give a better voter turnout and a more representative view of cam- pus.”

Peace Despite Canada’s claim to be a nuclear

weapons free country, our harbours continue to be invaded by American ships, often nuclear powered and carrying nuclear arms.

There are two reasons to be alarmed about this. The first is the possibility of an accident. U.S. submarines coming into B.C.’s harbours are powered by nuclear reactors slightly less than one-tenth the size of the one at Chernobyl.

What‘s more, these reactors are uncontained since it is unfeasible for a submarine to carry enough concrete to make an encasement.

Nuclear reactors are prone to meltdowns, and there is no reason that what happened at Three Mile Island and at Chernobyl could not soon be happening in Vancouver.

What is even more disturbing, is that by allow- ing U.S. warships into our harbours, we are assisting the development of American first strike capability. Right now, all that stands bet- ween the USA and a successful first strike is

Soviet missile carrying submarines which would retain the ability to strike even after the USSR itself was incapacitated.

But U.S. submarines in Nanoose Bay and Vancouver Island are now perfecting tactical weapons which would enable them to track down and destroy Soviet subs, facilitiating a U.S. first strike.

The Canadian government has a policy which bans nuclear weapons from the country. There is no reason why American warships should be allowed to contravene this policy.

Admitting nuclear armed ships and sub- marines while claiming to be a nuclear weapons freestate is nothing short of hypocrisy.

Canadian lives are endangered, and the arms race is being promoted because our government lacks the conviction to enforce its policies. If Canada‘s decision to be free of nuclear weapons was serious, ships carrying nuclear weapons would not be tolerated in our harbours.

CASC cops out on cruddy smut in Pit Pub Coalition Against Sexism on

Campus, where hast thou gone?

That bastion of righteousness which we have come to trust to de- fend our interests in all matters con- cerning truth, justice, dnd the academic way (not to mention pro- tect US from all things sexist and degrading) , appears to have deserted us in this, our greatest hour of need.

Why, just last night 1 happened by the SUB, looking forward to a much needed (though not entirely deserved) frosty cool one, when my unprepared senses were assaulted by an heinous act against humanity. I t was (you guessed i t ) “ladies night” on camaus!

As I stood before the door of’the of fending es tab l i shment my thoughts alternated between ill-

dignation (from being barred from entry merely because of my sex) and horror (as I contemplated the dep- ths to which some poor, defenseless m a l e s t r i p p e r s M e r e b e i n g degraded). Why, the wene prac- tically demanded intervention by those stalwart Crusaders Against

Smut and Crud. Surely, I thought, such a scene of

wanton immorality and human degradation would justify interven- tion by CASC on behalf of those unfortunates who might stumble in- advertently upon the place, or those who derive profit or pleasure from the unfolding display.

Was it just last year, I asked myself, that the above group suc- cessfully campaigned in the (perma- nent?) cancellation of a certain equestrian event, held annually by that irreverent mob, the engineers?

Surely this latest display, taking place in similar public place, should also merit the same fierce opposi- tion?

Apparently not, my ideals were dismayed to admit. Perhaps i t was the choice i n location which spared Wednesday’s festivities from the brunt o f CASC’s wrath. After all, a horse-and motor-cade dox 11 Slain Mall is far more visible and accessi- ble by those who might blunder upon the offending sight.

Pity the poor fool who ic unfor- tunate enough t o stumble into the

path of the parade, oblivious to the sounds of band and crowd alike as he walks, perhaps engrossed in a book of medieval English history.

How shocked he would be to “accidentaly” push his way through the throng (traditionally one of the largest during the academic year) just in time to glimpse the back of a professional

stripper, likely as not to be at least partially clad against the cold. The mind boggles.

Likewise, the poor waif being abused on the horse bears no resemblance to the much more ac- ceptable entertainment on display in the warm interior of the SUB, the closed door to which now stood before me.

Illusions shattered, 1 sadly shuffl- ed off to more moral climes, while an inescapable conclusion formed disturbingly in my mind: perhaps CASC was not after all the objec- tive crusader persuing tirelessly all affronts to man’s dignity. I guess there ain’t no such thing as a hero no more. Kon Byres

Race faces feces and the future hly recent research into the past

history of the Chariot Race has revealed some interesting facts which have been unknown for years. According to newspaper ar- ticles and photographs, the first Chariot Race occurred in 1952 along the Main Mall. I t was initially an event that raised money for various charities. The race proceed- ed without undue violence and no feces thrown around. Since then, people have almost lost arms, broke legs, had their faces blown apart by

fire crackers, and suffered from concussions. Before this the Chariot Race was a respected event, and many people participated besides Engineers. The race used to be a part of homecoming and was encouraged by faculty and ad- ministration alike. This is not the case today. Over the years the Chariot Race has deteriorated into obscurity and is ignored by univer- sity administration and many students.

For all of you who may be wondering, how did the feces get in- corporated into the race? The Ag- gies were responsible for bringing feces in to the race in the late 1950s. It is unfortunate that such a unique race among Canadian universities has been degraded to the low level that it is at today. I think its time that we all re-evaluate what sort of public image we would like to por- tray the true “tradition” of the Chariot Race. I would like to sug- gest a Charity Chariot Race for Rick Hansen. I think its about time that councils at this university take the initiative and help Science to restore the Chariot Race to its former respected state. Anyone from any faculty wishing further in- formation on history of Chariot Races, or anyone interested in help- ing to organize this worthy cause, please see Brian Pataky in the SUS office in CPAX.

an interview with Nicola Cavendish By MICHAEL GROBERMAN

N icola Cavendish explains that direc- tor Brian Bedford “saw me do this 15 year old disturbed girl and decid- ed I’d be perfect for the maid.”

The Vancouver actress was of- fered the role in a Broadway pro- duction of Blithe Spirit, opposite Geraldine Page and Richard Chamberlain, set to open this winter.. The offer was made eight months ago, but she did not make a

Painting and sculpture merge By SHARON KNAPP

Yvonne Parent’s Carousel pro- ject mesmerized the crowd at its opening at the Pitt Gallery on Tues. day. The almost lifesize red carousel features 16 large reindeer cutouts moving backwards, while the deer reflected in the band of mirrors at the carousel’s centre, move forward at a graceful gallop.

.. gallery Carousel Project By Yvonne Parent Pitt International Galleries until November 22

It’s a fact of animation, and the c o n t r a d i c t i o n s b e t w e e n t h e backwards and forwards motion fit into Parent’s intentions for the piece.

She explained, ‘‘I wanted to say something optimistic this .time, since most of my previous work has been pretty bleak, so I used the carousel, which is the epitome of optimism and sweetness.

“The reindeer represent the con- tradictions we find around us; we can’t escape our past, it’s part of our moving forwards. Even when we’re going through a bad cycle, repeating old patterns, life keeps on going. The reindeer, which are wild animals, also recall the seasonal. cycles .”

The highlight of the evening was Parent’s use of strobe lights on the piece. Suddenly, the cutouts and the reflections both appeared to be

moving forwards in their separate directions, and sent giant shadows racing around the walls of the gallery.

Parent was inspired by Edward Muybridge’s 19th century motion studies. With the help of a series of cameras, Muybridge won a bet by proving that at one point in the gallop, all four horses’ hooves leave the ground.

Muybridge went on to record a series of motion studies of people and animals, including reindeer. The photos were f requent ly mounted on cardboard cylinders called zootropes. When spun, they created the illusion of movement.

Why reindeer on a carousel? “I’ve been using reindeer in my art for the last five years,” said Parent, “For some people, deer are a sexual reference. Myself, I find it easy to identify with the deer. They’re very easy to personify.”

While Parent began as a painter, she started to explore the area bet- ween painting and sculpture in 1984 with several lifesize origami deer made frbm tarpaper. The Explora- tions Grant she received from the Canada Council the following year allowed her to continue her ex- periments.

In Carousel, black and white paint blend on the reindeer’s flat plywood bodies in a way that recalls sketching practices. The gallery walls continue the black and white theme with figure studies from Greek mythology, which Parent discovered was prominent in the carousel’s early history.

Painting and sculpture merge in the carousel’s mirrors; the muted

greys provide a perfect backdrop for the crisp outlines of the moving deer.

In addition ‘to the Carousel Pro- ject, an unusual installation of David Pan’s African influenced paintings and sculpture and Jim Campbell’s painted bas reliefs have also opened at the Pitt. This com- bination provides the strongest showing at the Pitt, since last sum- mer, and it’s .worth a visit before it closes November 22.

decision inti1 two weeks ago. The thought of going to Broad-

way was not immediately appealing. “I like greenery, I like to be able to say, ‘fuck this, 1 need to get out of here ...’ What I’m apdrehen- sive about is that six and a half months in New York will cause a small sort of schism in me, like a crack in the plaster at the top of my brain.”

Cavendish grew up in the Okanagan, leaving home to find herself at UBC. She found theatre instead.

Four years and one degree later, she got work with a short-lived young company at the Vancouver Playhouse.

After years as a Playhouse regular, Cavendish embarked on a new career as a writer: North Shore Live, which she wrote and perform- ed with Tom Wood in 1981.

Cavendish lefi Vancouver to take the role of Eliza Dolittle in the Shaw Festival’s Pygmalion in 1982. More Shaw shows followed. She is currently a regular cast member of C.B.C.’s Red Serge Wives.

Last Christmas, the Arts Club produced It’s Snowing on Saltspr- ing, written by Nicola Cavendish. It will be restaged this Christmas.

Tomorrow night, Cavendish opens in David King’s new comedy, Life Skills, at the Firehall Theatre. It is a two-person comedy in which the actors play many different characters, “It feels like a hundred million characters - a jillion characters.

“I’ve done that sort of thing

before, and I’m getting old.” But she does like the play. Referr-

ing to writer and co-star David King, she says, “He’s a much more cerebral person than I am. He’s very funny, very clever. There’s a psycholbgy woven between the lines of his work.”

Although she does not find New York particularily entincing, she is amused at the size of the salaries on Broadway. “The Sex Tips cast is m a k i n g $230 a w e e k o f f Broadway,” she says referring to the Vancouver play which has been playing for over a month in New York.

She describes the role she would play in Blithe Spirit, “The play is this big,” she says, stretching her arms far apart, “and my part is this big,” she holds index finger close to a thumb. ‘‘I’ll make $1350 a week (pause) American - put that in big bold letters.” . There are two things Cavendish

wants to do “before I go to my grave or am content LO sell apples without the need to perform.” She wants to perform the one-woman show she is writing, and she wants to work in London. “If this oppor- tunity had been in London, I would have decided like that.” She snaps her fingers.

‘‘I was sitting in the bar at the Princeton Hotel,’’ she recalls, “and I was talking to this stranger. I ask- ed him what he did. He asked me what I did, and we started to gab. I told him about New York. I didn’t want to go. The love of Broadway wasn’t there. It’s not a goal, and it means leaving the man I live with. He answered, ‘Don’t be silly, little girl. This will be the opportunity of a lifetime. It’ll be over before you want it to be, and then you’ll be back home.”

If you’re in New York this spr- ing, look for Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit starring Richard Chamberlain, Geraldine Page, and. . .Nicola Cavendish.

PORTRAIT OF THE artist with her wooden reindeer.

By PETER BERLIN Five minutes into Round Mid-

night Dexter Gordon and a small, high-class band launch into a distinctive treatment of one of the most famous film tunes of all.

Round Midnight Directed by Bertrand Tavernier film

Capitol 6 ~

They play As Time Goes By with a s t y l e a n d s t r u c t u r e t h a t foreshadows the way Bertrand Tavernier, the director, handles the whole film.

The musicians t o y . with the familiar tune, playing tantilizing chunks of the melody just as Taver- nier plays with the structure of the movie. Their arrangement is dominated by the warm’, unhurried and medidative tenor saxophone of Gordon just as the whole leisurely, affectionate film is dominated by his playing and acting.

Tavernier and his cast and musi- cians don’t just love jazz, they cap- ture its essence in the film without ever losing sight of its darker shadings.

The film, set in the late ’5Os, tells the simple tale of , a n aging, alcoholic musician, Dale Gordon who quits New York for one last roll of the dice in Paris, which at the time was a haven for black musi- cians. There, he settles in a hotel filled with black American musi- cians presided over by the matriarch Buttercup, Lanette McKee.

She holds the money from his concerts and keeps a careful eye on him. But although she locks him in his room, she can’t protect him from himself.

Gordon’s playing attracts the at- tention of a penniless French il- lustrator Francis (Francois Clujet) for whom jazz has been an inspira- tion. Francis rescues Dale from the jails and hospitals where he often ends up, takes him in and cries over his bed when he thinks Dale is on the point of death. That love in- spires the musician to renounce drink and write music again.

But the story, though it is impor- tant and moving, is only half of the movie. It serves to bracket and enhance the many long jazz numbers lovingly filmed in smokey recreations of the cellar jazz clubs of the era..

Suddenly, as if driven by a fierce necessity, Nieto’s feet strike the floor beating out a series of in- tricate Spanish rhythms. These per- cussive notes burst out sharp and clear despite the rubbery protective floor covering that inhibits much of the sound. The power of Nieto’s steps are felt through. the seats of the audience nearby and they watch entranced, pulled into the drama of the moment.

In Cafe de Chinitas it is the two women in the company, Maria Ber- mudez and La Romera, who release the spirit of flamenco. Wearing the traditional frilled flamenco dress and the authentic anguished expres- sion of the flamenco dancer, Ber- mudez moves with energy and elegance, her upper body held pro- udly above her often feverish foot- work.

Next, led by Bermudez and Nieto’s driving rhythmic clapping La Romera’s solo slowly builds up into a chaotic flurry of heels and full white skirts. But. while Romera’s interpretation is pas- sionate and invigorating her foot- work lacks the clarity of the other dancers.

The rest of the,play is a flashback as he reads Anne’s diary for the first time.

Robin Stevan is excitable, hyper, extroverted, and slightly obnoxious as the thirteen year-old Anne,

She is unlike anyone who would keep so thoughtful a diary as that from which the play takes its title.

Voice-overs of Anne reciting passages from her diary are out of character for the girl who can’t sit still and often says things without thinking. Robin Stevan is a talented actress. Her comedy is funny, her e x p l o s i o n s o f r a g e c l e a r l y developed, her experience of a new sexual awareness, poignant. But she never incorporates these facets into one character. She plays the mo- ment but not the part.

Stevan’s problem is not her abili- ty to act, but her ability to create a character, and one consistant with the text. One would have thought that director William Davis would have exercised some control over his title character.

The result i s an unever comedy with heavy, dramatic; scenes interspersed - scenes which are effective unto themselves, but which are incongruent with the comedy.

Donald’B. Scarrow’s set, another realistic monster in the Playhouse tradition, misses an essential thematic point’: these people feel confined. Indeed, living in an attic with seven other people, albeit a spacious attic, for two years, must be a claustrophobic experience. We have no sense of limited space in t h e spacious four-room condo that stretches across the Playhouse stage. .

The set also thrusts too far for- ward. During the diary excerpt voice-overs, the Playhouse curtain is lowered, and minor set changes occured. There was much human- curtain contact as the technical crew squeezed between the set and the curtain, The moving curtain was distracting.

Spook the subs By LEAH MALKINSON

Victoria, where it was to be armed with nuclear weapons. Protestors believe Bangor is close enough that any explosions or leaks would have devastating consequences for Vic- toria.

“The Trident’s passing through the Juan de Fuca Strait is a danger

the Warships Club and the Greater Victoria Nuclear Disarmament Group organized the ‘Danse Macabre,’ an event used in the Mid- dle Ages t o dispel the Plague, to protest the passing of the seventh Trident Submarine, the USS Alaska, through the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The ceremony was a “rais- ing.of the spirits of horror at the evil presence in our waters” and held in conjunction with an American Ground Zero Protest near Bangor, Washington, the Alaska’s destination.

The Alaska passed through the Strait of Juan de Fuca on its way to the Trident Base at Bangor, Washington, only 50 miles from

The USS Alaska is an Ohio class long-range ballistic missile sub- marine. It is 560 feet (or two foot- ball fields) in length and when arm- ed, carries 24 Trident I missiles.

War toys are no fun says peace activist By PATRICIA FOSTER

Little Billy’s He-Man toy is not just creating fun, it is promoting violent behaviour, a Vancouver peace activist said yesterday.

He-Man is one of many war toys that distort childrens’ views of reali- ty and make them more violent, s a y s H e l e n S p i e g e l m a n . Spiegelman’s group, Families for

Peace, has launched a campaign to raise public awareness about the dangers involved in letting children play with war toys and watch war toy cartoons, like He-Man and Rambo.

The campaign is being advertised across Canada by both the Cana- dian Peace Alliance and the B.C. Peace Network.

Spiegelman point’; to children between four and eight years old as the age group “probably the most susceptible” to the negative effects of war toys and cartoons.

Spiegelman isn’t cmvinced “pro- social” cartoons designed to show children that violence is wrong overcome the violent': of other pro- grams.

“They’re trying to lard this violence wirh preaching . . . The bottom line is still violence,” she said.

Families for Peace, run cornplete- ly by volunteers, has prepared “war toy free-zone” kits for parents. Each kit contains a form letter, ad- dresses of war toy manufacturers, and a “war toy free zone” sign for

a child’s playroom and a petition. Spiegelman said she plans to pre-

sent the petitions to the Toy Trade Fair in January of 1987 at Toronto. She said her aim is to “alert manufacturers and distributors that there is consumer concern and that (people) would prefer to buy more constructive toys.”
