Ask just about any current or former UCFV student, and they will tell you that this institution's greatest strength is its teachers and support staff. You will get testimony after testimony about instructors who bend over backwards to serve their students and provide highlevel, personalized education. Almost across the board there is a students-first approach. You know Dr. Jekyl, let me introduce you to Mr. Hyde. The Fctculty and Staff Association (FSA) is the union which represents all the employees at UCFV. Admittedly, its a necessary association with an important function. However, I think its about time for a / close look at this union from a student perspective. I'm convinced that most students would be quite surprised to learn how a large group of altruistic and dedicated individuals can so quickly change shape when they ·oin together in their FSA. In · ct , I suspect many students be a little disturbed. If you you left bullies behind at chool, take a close look SA. e bring you back in time to your grade school cafeteria, waiting in line for lunch. Everyone rushed to the line to try get a good position thereby securing a dessert or at least avoiding getting stuck with an asparagus-peanut butter sandwich. An understandable motivation. Some days you got a good spot, other times you didn't. But there was one group that always got to the front of the line, regardless how late they arrived - the bullies. They could just push their way to the front of the line and no one would stop them on account of their big muscles and hard fists. As a result, if the cafeteria was

ever short of a particular food item, you could be sure it wasn't the bullies who would suffer. All right, back to the present at UCFV. As most of you probably know, funding to postsecondary education in general and to UCFV in particular has been cut considerably over the past few years. The result has been that our university has had to take measures to either cut spending or somehow increase revenue. Thus the rather contentious budget discussions. Like the cafeteria lunch line, everyone scrambles to get to the front of the line to make sure their interests are protected. Enter the bully: the FSA. This entity exercises enormous influence over how the budget will be balanced and who will get what. Skeptical? Consider this evidence: 1. While UCFV has faced repeated shortfalls in funding over the past few years, salaries of FSAmembers have increased every single year by at least 1.8%. The result is that "salaries" take up a larger and larger piece of a shrinking budget. 2. Tuition, on the other hand, was raised several times in the same time period as a "necessary measure" (prior to the freeze). 3. Even after the freeze, more and more of the budget shortfalls have been made up by students through ancillary fees: the Library and Technology fee, the composition placement test fee, increased parking fees, the computer skills placement test fee, the math placement test fee, etc. I know of a few more myself; I wonder how many others there are that I haven't heard about. Meanwhile, no such fees are charges of faculty or staff, who enjoy private computers, free photocopying, free use of technology, free use of library services, free parking etc., etc. I say "free," but I mean free for them. As students we are the ones who subsidize them. Let's walk back down memory alley, this time we'll

Dear Editor, I want to thank the Cascade staff for tackeling the controversial issues surrounding relationships and sex, despite the taboos our society often places on these issues. However I feel compelled to note my dissatisfaction with ·your "Ask Alice'' column. ' I think this is a potentially excellent medium to answer questions about sex which we would all like to ask but don't dare. For example, in the last issue of the Cascade, some interesting questions were asked which could have lead to some important discussions. Instead Alice provided "answers" - if you can even call them that - which I felt were very inappropriate for a number of reasons: She did not provide a thorough factual answer to the rather technical question
Than Valentine's Day ... What is the first thing that comes to your mind in the month of February? If you are a functioning human in our commercial society you are probably thinking of the up and coming day of hearts ... Valentines Day. A fun day, but honestly why do we need one day out of the year -to tell our significant others . how we feel. Shouldn't we do that the other 364 days as well. Now I'm not a romantic cynic, but it is seriously over-rated. I wonder what the card and chocolate companies would do if we boycotted the holiday? With the scent of roses in the air and the taste of the chocolate aphrodisiac on the tongue a much important holiday is being over looked. The month of February is more than just a day of hearts and roses. It is a month of remembering. February is Black History month and unfortunately it is the shortest month of the year and has to share the days w·ith.-the commerdalized sweetness of Valentines.
one gentleman asked about masturbation; instead she ridiculed him for his behavior. Similarly she attacked another questioner who seemed to be in genuine turmoil over issues of safe sex in his relationship.

If this column is just a joke, don't waste the space - or at least make it funny. - Alex Vandenhoofd

A Socialist In the Valley?? f"II
Chris Bolster
II through
From the collaborative efforts of the Politics/Philosophy, English and Economics departments, the former leader of the federal New Democratic Party and human rights advocate, Ed Broadbent, spoke on the issues of social justice and citizenship to a standing room only theatre last Wednesday night. Ed Broadbent has had a distinguished career as an academic, politician, and human rights advocate. In 1968, Mr. Broadbent was elected to parliament as MP for Oshawa, and from 197 5 to 1989 he led the NDP. In 1990 to 1996, he served as the founding president of the Montreal-based International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development. He spent the 1996-1 997 academic year as a visiting fellow at Oxford University. Most recently, Mr. Broadbent was appointed J.S. Woodsworth chair in the humanities at Simon Fraser University and lectures on democracy, human rights and citizenship. t-.1r. Broadbent's lecture focused first, on the rise of the welfare state as a means of protecting and fostering the social and economic rights of people and second, on the crippling deconstruction of the welfare state though the neo-conservative politics of the 1980s. As a student, Ed Broadbent was influenced hy Albert Camus, who thought that if human beings are to he free, society must be democratic, but if humans are to be really free, they must have economic rights. For Mr. Broadbent, the welfare state is the institution that can best protect this idea. The welfare state arose in the post-war era as people from all sides of the political spectrum demanded social rights. Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill argued that laissezfaire capitalism had contributed to depression and war. Through this arose a move to legislate and institutionalize universal social rights. i.e. education and health care In addition to the legislating of social rights, the government was empowered to ensure virtually full employment through the management of the economy. The democratic socialist position is one that does not necessarily want to nationalize the economy, rather the position holds that there is room for a "free" market and the government should take only a regulatory role. However, the market alone should not shape our society, rather the freedom provided
social rights and responsibilities should serve as a means to realize what it is to be human and thus create a society which reflects this realization. The rise of neoconservativism in the 1980s with Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Brian Mulroney marked the beginning of the fall of the welfare state. The fall was marked by a change in the rising importance of perverted self-interest over the ideal of social citizenship. The original notion of self-interest consisted in the idea that an individual would act in a manner that would serve his/her interests, but the result of the action would not he at the overall cost of the society; the idea of commonwealth. One key assumption is that competition is a driving force of the "free'' market. However, more and more, we see the consolidation of power and interests in the hands of fewer and fewer. The merger of the Royal Bank and the Bank of tvlontreal is an example of this. Commonwealth has been replaced with greed and social Darwinism. The attack on the welfare state has been leveled towards the protection of social and economic rights because these are seen as a barrier to the individual pursuit of gain. Social concerns that once occupied the public square have been reduced to private matters, dealt with in private households. In addition to the shift in ideas around social citizenship, there has also been a shift in what we think the welfare actually is. We now have this conception of the welfare state as being "for the poor". With the exception of the United States, the welfare state has historically been an institution that provided services "for all". The end of Mr. Broadbent's presentatiqn offered six practical solutions to the problems at hand. In spite of the influence of right-wing think tanks, ordinary people still hold the values of the social welfare state and it will be through strong political leadership that the huge rise in neoconservativism will be countered. 1) Politicians must speak of our public needs and duties (our social and economic rights) and through this process expose neo-conservativism for what it is. 2)People _must take up obligations to work and employers must provide opportunities to work.
3 )Increasing inequalities of tax burdens must be reversed. ( rapid fall of corporate and rich tax and rise of middle and lower classes taxes. 4)To retain social rights, all citizens must be prepared to pay high taxes as the price of a civilized society. 5 )There must be a better informed debate of the welfare state. For example there is misleading ideas that the welfare state reduces competitiveness. In reality, social needs must be purchased whether it be public or private. The welfare state actually makes a country a more attractive place to invest and live because companies do not have to offer expensive medical plans. 6)Political leadership must deal with the negative effects of globalization on the welfare state. To check the increase in corporate power and the chaotic flow of capital that undermines the stability of economies. This could be achieved through international regulation of the global economy, like what happened nationally at the height of the welfare state in the sixties. -credit to Jamie Hellewell for insightful and profound notes.

WHY

ENG.
105
wonder how anyone could pass a course that allegedly teaches you to write better. Anyone who takes this course must have been functionally illiterate in the first place, or feel terribly ripped off after they get their B- and move on. Then what is going on? If we leave with the same skills as we have when we go in, what did we learn? Might there be a problem with the course? As I pondered this, I thought I might be a good person to tackle this issue, since I have taken the class twice (OK, one and a half; I dropped it the first time because the prof was a weenie). OK, Keith, so what's the problem? Well, first off, it's pretty boring. I've found myself counting how often my instructor said "OK" in a single block ( 7 6). All right, so this was only one particular instructor, but the class is still a yawner. Seriously, who cares about all the so called rules of writing. You know, two clauses gotta be joined by a conjunction or something like that. Who the hell cares? All the theory in the world isn't gonna make someone a great writer. All the theory in the world isn't gonna make someone a great anything. Can you see super stud Rico Suave reading some sex manual, "in, out, repeat if necessary"? But it isn't just that. Take, for example, the Norton Reader
we all have. What edition do you have? I've got the 8th revised or something. I went to a used bookstore and found a "shorter second edition" copyright 1965. About75%ofthose essays are in my 1993 edition, and I do recall going to the bookstore, when they actually stocked the texts we need, and paying about $42.50. The used copy was two and a quarter. So Norton's screwing you and me and Lord knows how many other undergrads to the tune of about 40 bucks. My point isn't that we're getting shafted or that getting the shaft is wrong we all know that. tv1ypoint is that most of the stuff we are reading is pretty tired. Martin Luther King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail," as good as it is, has been reduced to little more than a tired cliche. Lastly, and this is the kicker, all the passion is taken out of formal writing. When you are reading or writing do you care where the conjunction is when you really don't give a rat's ass about the subject? There is so much structure that you miss the passion, the desire of what the author has about his or her subject. Even the "his or her" in the previous sentence is a concession to the politically correct which Eng. 105 might tell you is proper, but only serves to make sentences wordy and awkward. So where do you learn to write? How would I know, I'm no Shakespeare, right? But let me suggest two things. First, get a hold of an essay from George Orwell called "Politics and the
English Language." (Predictably, you won't find it in the Norton Reader.) I know this is contrary to what I wrote earlier, but it's a good read because he tells you what not to do, and uses examples from notable published authors to do so. Orwell's writing, on the other hand, is remarkably clear. Enough so, in fact, that he can communicate complex political issues to the most mediocre high school student. Secondly, write for fun and see how it goes. Yeah, OK, writing isn't all that fun, but it is a great way to release frustrations without having to kick cats or swear at cops or something like that. So what are you gonna do with what you wrote? You could just file it in a journal or diary, but I think Christ used a parable to describe the ills of hiding talents under a rock or the like. Actually, the Cascade is a great place to submit a piece writing. I mean, they will print anything. Just pick up an issue from a few years back. If you are lucky, you might get some feedback, and people will tell you what they think of your writing. This beats the heck out or your instructor tearing it apart with a red pen, doesn't it? In closing, I realize the writing style I employ is sorta colloquial, but that just serves to show you I didn't learn a thing in Eng. 105 either. But here I am risking very little to have an opportunity to test my abilities. Try writing and tell me what you think. Your Eng. 105 instructor might be impressed ...
there is no equality between the groups. The decision-making structure is set up in such a way that it empowers the FSA as bully and disempowers students. Again, allow me to present the evidence: On every committee, council, and board you will find that the overwhelming majority of the committee members are FSAmembers. For example, the 32-member University College Council (UCC), which is perhaps the most powerful decisionmaking body at UCFV, consists of 18 FSA members and only 6 potential students. This is indicative of the UCFV's entire committee structure. This, despite the fact that students vastly outnumber any of the other constituent groups! The easy response to this problem is that students aren't interested in getting involved: they don't even fill all the spots already offered. While its true that even the limited number of spots available to students are often left empty, it may not be because they are less interested then FSA members. Ken Dinnery, president of the UCFV Student's Union notes that "its one thing to have the right to sit on a decision-making body, but its another to be able to act on that right." He sites a number of barriers to students
getting involved. One is that faculty and staff earn release time or are paid for much of their time spent working on committees; whereas students must simply find time to volunteer amongst their numerous other pressures and commitments. Another is that few students really know about the opportunities to get involved or to voce their opinions; faculty and staff members have mailboxes and newsletters and department meetings to keep everyone informed and to ensure their interests are being forwarded. Another reason student representation can never compete with FSA representation is that students are here for a much shorter time. FSA members come to the table with a clear understanding of the history of the institution and its structure. Thus when they need to push an issue they know not only how the system works, but also how to work the system. In addition, a lot of the real decision-making is make in informal conversations before it ever comes to the committee. Relationships between FSAmembers and administration built up over years of working together creates an informal decisionmaking and lobbying process between "allies." Because of
their transitory nature, students are not part of this informal "old academics network." One final way the FSA acts as a bully is in the way it defends its members. Compare: Students who feel they've been wronged have to face deans, complaint processes, and appeal boards virtually alone; only a handful of hard-working, overworked individuals like SUS members or Cheryl Dahl are available to advocate for students. Launch a complaint against a faculty member and face an army of grievance chairs, FSA advocates, and lengthy time-consuming procedures. Its time for a radical shift at this institution. The FSA must recognize it is not like other unions in that it does not operate in a simple employee-employer environment. A university is different because it also has students - students who must be heard, empowered, and not bullied. FSA members must consider whether many of their victories are in fac::t also their student's defeats.
DON'T WORK ''Ii Keith Brandsma A few days ago I picked up a book report a fellow student wrote. I wanted to see what themes she had explored and which were worth writing about. Since I thought the book itself was fairly useless as a piece of literature, I was curious about what someone else thought of it. But no matter, I was reading this paper and it was simply packed with errors. Not that the material was wrong; I really didn't care about that. It was poorly written, wordy, and had enough commas to pack a Boy George hit. I thought, "Didn't this chick take English 105 ?" You all know what Eng. 105 is right? It's the class you get to take after you pass your CPT, which shows you are bright enough to avoid taking Eng. 101. (I can't imagine how boring that would be. And they say pot kills brain cells ... ) I mean, wouldn't a fourth year humanities student have to take this as a pre-req. for getting this far? Of course. The fact is, I took Eng. 105 as well, and I'm no Shakespeare. But where would one find a piece of writing this poor and think it was worth imitating? Doesn't Eng. 105 teach you anything? This, I guess, is the point of my tirade. I've seen, and written, enough crap that makes me

Arguments about fairness go on for a while, but these are ultimately futile since its the bully who decides how its going to be. No one dares to disagree. Unfortunately for the other team, the bully, of course, makes the rules so that they give his team an advantage. Have you ever wondered who makes the decisions on the running of UCFV? The truth is that most policies, rules, programs, and decisions are formulated in committees. Who's on those committees? Answer: a combination of students, faculty and staff, and administration. This sounds fair enough, but if we look a little closer we see that

Dear Alice, !desperately need your help. There's 2 girls who are friends whom I've been hanging out with lately. Both of them are really great and I have a really good time with both of them. The problem is that I can't decide who I'd rather be with!! Double Dater Dear DD, Well, gee, I guess you're in quite a dilemma now aren't you? Get real!! You seem to be under the assumption that both of these girls would like to be with you, and although I feel you may be a little on the conceited side, I'll tell you what I think. Which one attracts you most? Explore your feelings a little deeper ok pal? If you're sincere and honest, I believe you can pursue a relationship with one without getting in between their friendship (assuming everyone's working at a fair level of maturity). Don't becocky, just be true to
Dear Alice, I've recently quit smoking and I've gained almost 20 pounds. I don't have much of a problem with the weight gain but my girlfriend has been nagging me to lose weight. She says it's affecting oursex life and she's not as attracted to me as she used to be. The fact is I'm more active than before I quit smoking. I don't like her attitude, but I don't want to lose her either, what should I do? A Little More Tolove Dear A Little More, Congrats to you my friend for kicking the habit and pursuing the dream of healthy lungs! Sounds like you may be headed into Chubbsville, but yet you don't seem too perturbed by that fact. Like you said, you're more active and you feel good. Ask yourself; why would my so calledlover care more about my appearance than my health? In loving relationships, I do believe it's said to be that couples support and encourage one another. Sounds likeyou 're getting more nagging than support. Screw her, you know you have to do what's best for you.Just be proud of your accomplishment and hope that she'll come around. If not, then so be it. I'm sure there's plenty of chicks around who would rather see youslurp a milkshake than light up a smoke!

worthwhile enough but scoring was pathetic,, as the Cascades busted their asses to get down to the offensive end only to run right back scoreless. Shots weren't on, post-ups bounced out when they should have been in and fouls were expected when they should have been ' hoped for. It was sad, and I think the men's ambivalence at the end of the game was a simple pose that all of us try on once and a while(If your team loses you always figure that you did your best, and that the loss was just simply someone else). Harsh words from a guy that stands around knowipg little, and asking less, but I think that down deep inside the real men on the team know that they have to, step up. Neal Cranna finished with 11 points, 17 rebounds. Steve Cavanagh had 21 points, 9 rebounds. Chad Yarwood had 9 points, 13 rebounds. Ben Bauman and Rana Gill had 4 points each, Bauman finishing with 7 rebounds. These were the top scorers. 'Nuff said. I don't think that the Cascades are going to let themselves sail down in this slump (both men and women). But I do think that if both teams want to perform during playoffs, they cannot afford to wait until the first round to show up. Excellence requires repetition. Both teams are capable, and they should expect no less of themselves.

Rep Due to some difficulties arranging the last SUS Report in the Cascade, the last section was omitted. To start off this report are Stephaine .tvlartin's closing remarks: Regarding the display rack that was donated by the people at Carlson Wagonlit, it will be on display in or around the Great Hall. The rack will hold tonnes of information regarding this fundraising program, the Student Union Society, and other campus groups/ activities. We will be holding another Semi-Annual General tv1eeting that is to take place [\,Jarch 4th and possibly carried over to T\Iarch 11th in Chilliwack, room 13114 & 13115, from 1:30 pm3:30 pm. More information on this will be given in later reports, as well as posters will be posted throughout the school.
Our collection of books is growing! Sisters in Crime, an anthology of short stories edited by Marilyn Wallace, including such favourite mystery writers as Sara Paretsky, Marcia Muller, and Sue Grafton, is just one of the many books of the mystery genre that are available for members to borrow at the Women's Centre. As well, feminist classics such as Mary O'Brien's Jhe Politics of Reproduction, or an anthology of articles from "Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society", titled Feminist Theory: A Critique of Ideology , are available to the student of feminism as political theory.

Designs for a New Millennium at UCFV Fashion Alumni/Faculty Show

Cutting edge designs and creativity will be highlighted at the first annual UCFV Fashion Design Alumni/Faculty show, to be held Friday, February 20, in the cafeteria at the Abbotsford campus. This is a fundraising event for the Fashion Design program's graduation show. The evening starts with a 7 p.m. reception. The show itself will begin at 8 p.m., and will feature 14 alumni designers and seven faculty members. "Each designer that we will be featuring is successful in the industry and has their own unique design style," says Fashion Design program head Judy Hurley. "Items in the show will range from basic marketable outfits made from natural and high-tech synthetic fabrics to out-of-this-world one-of-a-kind pieces constructed from handcrafted woven, knitted, or surface design material." The feature designers graduated from UCFV as far back as 1986 and as recently
Women. Work & Worship in the United Church of Canada , or Shoulder to Shoulder, a historical portrait of the early suffragettes in Britain (contains marvelous photos and poster reproductions) and Never Done: Three Centuries of Women's Work in Canada. Also on our shelves are novels by feminist writers such as Marilyn French, Rita T\lae Brown, and science fiction writer Sherry Tepper. In fact, Tepper's recent book Gibbon's Decline and Fall, is the first choice for discussion at our Women's Centre Book Club. We will be meeting on Monday, r:ebruary 23rd to discuss this book.
(You can purchase a copy at the UCFV Bookstore.) In the self-help category, a book I personally found helpful is Susan Jeffer's Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway. And of interest to those women who prefer· to manage their own wellness and healthcare are such titles as You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay, and three titles in the Our Bodies. Ourselves series by the Boston Women's Healthbook Collective. Come by and check us out Monday to Friday, between 10:00 and 2:00 (we are open "by appointment or by chance" other times), and join us every Friday, from 11:30 to 1:30 for our brown-bag potluck lunches. Coffee and tea is on us!
For those not yet familiar with us, the Association of History students was created to help build a sense of community among history students and to strengthen the lines of communication between the History Department and students. Our email is now up and running and anyone interested in getting on our mailing list can email the system manager "majordomo" and request to subscribe to AHS. Last Wednesday Ron Dart and the Political Science department brought Ed Broadbent, former NDP leader in to speak
about his vision of the social welfare state. He reminded us of its underlying principles, some of which we've seemingly forgotten in this era of neo-conservatism. Mr. Broadbent spoke to a packed house and AHS would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mr. Broadbent and Ron Dart. Food for thought: "healthcare is a cost no matter who bears it."

Categories for the show include lingerie, evening wear, sportswear, club wear, kids wear, casual and formal day wear, and the ever popular wearable art section. As a special feature the designers were invited to visualize and produce an outfit based on the theme of "The New Millennium and Beyond". t-.1any designers met the challenge and the results will comprise the finale of Fashioned after Fashion. Tickets for Fashioned after Fashion are $20, and include appetizers, a beverage, and a no-host bar.

See Me Through the Storm Cec
Reaching out my hands, my spirit penetrates the battle weariness within, like kisses of a melancholy lover on my skin, drawing out the need within me. Questioning again for the cause of understanding, risking further pain. I'm praying for the sun and feeling caught out in the rain. The promise is whispered in my ear, like a hand that wipes away a tear. When will I feel the pain no more. Please lord help see me through the Storm. Please help me through these emotions, that wake my soul and spirit that's been bottled up all these years. I'll make my bed in heaven, please help me Make it to the shore, sometimes I feel so lost and forlorn. The promise of a way to heaven's door. Oh promise me lord to see me through the storm.

Two comments relevant to your reading any further: If you've had enough of the Clinton affair (or lack thereof), you're going to want to give this opinion piece a miss. And if you do read past the first paragraph, this one time you'll really want to remember that every sentence could start with "In my opinion." So just in case anyone is still with me, I'll jump right in. Media reporting on this latest diversion of the rich and famous appears to be more than slightly biased towards Clinton and against the woman (actually women) involved. My point is not to sound like a raving feminist here (nor deny that I may actually be one). It is quite possible that if a person of privilege in this case was a woman, she would come off looking a tad more righteous than the male clerk. However, who would you rather be in this scenario? Clinton, who appears to lie barely short of being both a victim and the best thing that has happened to the free world since Kennedy? Or Lewinsky, who has been labeled tramp and trollop for the crime of trying to get to someone of power and privilege? I know how I'd answer.
