:Gay and lesbia n literature censored by Rebecca Bisho p
Censorship comes in man y forms, including the law and economics . On Monday, as part of th e Celebration 90 Cultural events , gay and lesbian writers spok e about the censorship of thei r words . Allan Hollinghurst, a gay writer from England, spoke of th e British Government repeatedl y appealing court decisions whic h favour of bookstores or writers "t o force groups into economic failure " even though the government "ha s no hope in hell of winning . " Jane Rule, a Canadian writer , spoke about the active role Canada Customs takes in keepin g material deemed offensive out o f the country . Their guide lines ar e based on the criminal code . "We, as a literary country, ar e giving those people authority t o decide what we will and will not read," Rule said . She began her discussion b y w`► describing a third year student in her English 100 class, who wa s r "obviously going to fail a thir d time", who asked her to write a recommendation for him to get a job . He was applying to Canad a Customs. "Most of Canadian writer's books have to be reshipped bac k into Canada," she said . "We our selves are susceptible to our ow n (Canada) Customs . " Stacy Allison, of the Custom s Assessment Division, said : "Mate rials are detained on a regula r basis . If (the border guards) can -
not make a determination at the border, then (the material) will be detained for re-determination. " "Some materials may be detained by the border until someon e has the time to asses the material," Allison said, "at which poin t it may be couriered to the owner. " If materials are determined t o be "obscene pornography, "Alliso n said, "(people) can either hav e them exported, surrender them t o us, or have them destroyed ." Canada Customs burns mate rials that are labeled as obscene . There is a time period of 9 0 days for an appeal to be made . I f one does appeal the border guard s decision, it goes to the Custom s Assessment Division . Furthe r appeals go to Ottawa . " In areas where there are commercial shipments, (customs ) will do pre-reviews," Allison said . "For example Playboy will sen d copies for pre-review, which will be marked for obscenities or wil l be approved . Playboy would the n re-submit copies with changes fo r approval . " Jim Deva of Little Sister s Book and Art Emporium, a gay and lesbian book store in Vancou ver, said, "we have had ongoin g problems since we opened seve n and a half years ago." "Well over $10,000 worth of books have been seized and destroyed up to this point, " Deva said . "We call it seized, they call i t detained . Its a silly word . " " Our main beef is the prejudi cial manner in which our book store has been treated . If this were happening to a store like Duthies,

Vancouver protest send s message to Muironey by Mark Nielson

STEI N FEST
With more than 100 supporters behind them, three nativ e leaders made their concern s known regarding the Mohawk blockade in Oka, Quebec to th e department of Indian affairs i n Vancouver on Wednesday. "We're wondering if there's going to be more bloodshed- if th e army is going to be sent in there, " Ron Dan, of the Vancouver Support Group for the Mohawk Natio n and Aboriginal Rights and Title s said after meeting with a department official . "We want the minister to ge t involved in the Mohawk situation , and we also want recognition of aboriginal rights and title," h e said . Dan, and two others met with Mike Sakamoto, B .C . region direc tor of self government for about a n hour after the supporters, carrying placards and shouting slogans , staged a march on department offices . The march was organized in response to Quebec premie r Robert Bourassa' s ultimatu m demanding that the Mohawk s start negotiations by Wednesday . After rallying at Robso n Square for about an hour, th e group, which appeared to b e mostly non-native, made it's way
down Robson and Georgia streets to the indian affairs offices . Marchers chanted slogan s like "cops out of Oka" and "th e whole world is watching" and car ried signs saying "stop apartheid in Canada" and "every nation has a right to defend their land. " Half-way through the march , the group stopped at the government offices on Georgia, where Dan addressed the crowd . "We want to let the general population know that what has been going on in Canada for 120 years has also been going on i n B .C ., and that the government i s threatening aboriginal lan d claims," he said . "B .C . is Indian land as far a s we're concerned . " Dan said native leaders als o support the Mohawk nation's struggle to gain their sovereignty, as well as aboriginal rights for native people across Canada . "We hope that Tom Siddo n knows we 're watching him, because we are sick of all this cultural genocide," he said . "It's been 120 years and we want recognition of aborigina l rights now ." He also told the onlooker s that the army is now patrollin g around the Mohawk reserve, an d that "we want to tell them to get out of there . "
The march then continued on through city streets to the department of Indian affairs offices on Alberni street, where a securit y guard prevented them from getting into the building. At that time, a group of abou t five people, wearing bandanas t o hide their faces, started stampin g the windows with their hands , covered in blood-like red paint . An anonymous caller late r phoned The Ubyssey offices to say that "the non-native warriors for aboriginal rights" took responsibility for the act . No one was arrested, al though Vancouver police officer s briefly showed up at the scene, a s did camera crews and reporter s from local television stations . After meeting with three protestors, Sakamoto said there isn ' t much that he can do beyond relaying the message to his superiors . " There 's a process going on that involves the native leaders , the federal government, the department of Indian affairs, and the province and that's the way we're going, " Sakamoto said . A spokesperson, who woul d not reveal his name, said that i f the army does move in on the Mohawk reserve, another rally will take place. "We will bring the war to Vancouver," he said .
Team New York makes their entrance at the opening of Celebration '90 in B .C . Place Stadium .
then it would have stopped lon g ago, " he said . " It just happens to our bookstore . " Canada Customs are give n guidelines from the federal government based on the criminal code for determining what materi als are acceptable, and which ar e not. It is up to the discretion of th e customs officials to determin e what shipments will be checke d and whether they contravene obscenity laws or not . A woman who identified. her self as a past employee at Gladday books, a gay and lesbian bookstor e in Toronto, said magazines com e into the country with photos an d text blacked out . It was the onl y way for the materials to be allowe d into the country . She alleged the Torontobookstore was singled out by customs— they "detained" materials jus t because of the address they wer e being mailed to.
Development halte d by Brenda Wong
The Hampton Place development has been halted for wan t of prospective developers . UBC Real Estate Corporation (UBCREC) has delayed development of one of two lots a t Hampton Place on Wesbroo k Mall and West 16th Avenue . Initially, the two sites wer e open to legal tender for biddin g to real estate developing firms . UBCREC, however, has decided only the. mixed townhouse an d condominium site will go ahea d with the drawing up of buildin g designs . The firm of Thames Cour t purchased the 99 year land leas e in order to build 28 condominiums and 58 townhouses . UBCREC has plans to develop up to five storey building s on an as-of-yet unsold parcel of
land . UBCREC president Mark Betteridge said, "(We ' re) not sur e when we will proceed with thi s (project) as interest rates ar e high ." Betteridge would not speculate on any future plans for open ing up bids again, because of th e uncertainty of the economy . UBCREC has ten lots of lan d at Hampton Place to complete i n a time frame of six years whic h will bring in an estimated $ 3 million a year "for capital and endowment purposes" from th e proceeds of market housing sales . Three developments of hig h rise rental units have been mad e a low priority as its construction is slated for 1993 . Thames Court is expected to begin construction in September.

The university had been removing asbestos from its building s for about seven years now, ;starting out by chipping away the asbestos that had been sprayed o n ceilings and walls . The Studen t Union Building, Watson said, was one of the first major projects . Since then, workers hav e moved onto more mundane an d out-of-the-way projects . Neverthe less, Watson said a point is made o f notifying everybody who works i n the building of what is going on . As well, the work area is constantl y monitored. Levels of asbestos have never surpassed safety standards during the removal process and Watson said most concern has arise n because people don ' t know enough about it .

Campbell seek s spirituality by Isobel Simpson

~jARY E
David Campbell is a gentle , reflective person . According to hi s manager, he is well respected as a man of peace and eloquence. Campbell is an Arawak who was born in Guyana, but has spent much of his life in Canada . Through his music he vividly ex presses his perceptions on a wid e range of environmental and human rights issues . Last Saturday he performed at the Stein Valley Festival an d shared some of his thoughts on the global situation . Campbell is very concerne d that materialism is the thrust o f society . "From the time we are kids, we are taught that the only game in the universe is the mate rial one, and some of us know that it isn't ." However, Campbell is optimistic that consciousness is wid ening with respect to the Earth . "This is the make or break time for us human beings . I believe there i s time for us to regroup and liv e together as we should ." Campbell believes that the solution to today's environmental
problems includes a rejection o f our consumer-oriented society . "We must look beyond the culture we live in . We have enormous potentials, but we're taught to ex ploit those that make us ear n money. Our approach to life is on e of taming instead of respecting th e wild. " In an interview after his performance, Campbell suggeste d that looking within ourselves will allow us to achieve our true poten ti.al,both as individuals and as a society . 'When we open up our inner selves, our daily life is full of the riches of existence. We shoul d learn how to be more, how to live i n the here and now," he said . "Too often we are burdened with guilt from the past and worries of th e future. " "We must teach our kids to use their inner potentials . The earthly environment is only a mirror of our inner lives . It is goo d to do those external things, but we must look at our value systems," Campbell said . "Until we do, al l the blue boxes in the world won' t help us ."

This yea r ' s Stein Festival wil l be held sea-side rather than on the Mt . Currie Rodeo Grounds north of Whistler . Festival organizers were responding to threats by Pemberton residents to put up blockade s which might prevent festival goers from reaching the Rode o grounds . The Tswwassen Reserve, just to the south of the causeway to the ferry terminal, is the new location of the Festival . There were worries that traffic to the festival might create serious traffic problems for the ferry terminal .

Free camping will also be available on reserve fields . When asked if the venu e change was resulting in cancella tions, Brown said that one to tw o cancellations come in every week , but the numbers are not significant . Thisyear's festival is attempt ing to be garbage free by encourag ing people to bring their own cups, plates, and cutlery . The organizer s intend to recycle again this year by providing bins for separatin g materials and composting .

The Indian blockades throughout th e country and the defeat of th e Meech Lake Accord has em- 4, powered natives . "We've come to a time where we must resolve these problems," said Mile s Richardson of the Haida Na- ,or tion . Richardson's theme was ech-, + oed consistently throughou t the festival by many speakers . Some emphasized hop e and confidence, others pride -.*• and determination . "Don't just sit around and s enjoy the music here . Our live s are on the line," said Donn a Goodleaf, a spokesperson fo r the Mohawks . "We will not give in to Canada or the United States," added Goodleaf. Criticism was leveled at 1n the many levels of governmen t by those who addressed th e crowd . "The policies have becom e sacred and they have forgotten 'that we are people," said Chief Fraser Andrew of th e Stl'alt'imx nation . "Have w e become too comfortable in thi s democracy?," he asked . "Th e democracy has become diluted . The democracy is our responsibility ." sr Messages of support fo r the Mohawks' stand near Oka , Quebec were frequent an d passionate . "We'd like to say thank you ' " to the Mohawk people, for they > < do it for all of us," said Andrew . "We all have to dig deep to understand what those people , our Mohawk brothers and sisters, are feeling," sai d Richardson . August 9, 1990

"Like what are you sup posed to do in Toronto whe n you don't have anywhere to sleep," said Keith . They ended up playing one booking i n Toronto for free . "Up until the last tour, Greg used to book the gigs himself," said Dym E. Tree . They have recently aquired a new manager : Atkinson said the Gulf Island communities were thei r favorite to play. "We just go t back from Quadra . It was an al l ages show. They gave us good food and a place to sleep," sh e said. Roots lyrics could not be heard clearly that night at th e Commodore . The band's verbal messages were fuzzy, but th e ever danceable (bounceable ) music spoke clearly to th e body. "We didn't get to do a soun d check," said Dym E . Tree, admitting the inaudibility di d disturb them . The old Roots Roundup tapes don't have the same in tensity as their live shows . There is not only a lack of vis ual stimulus, but the ferocity o f the music seems toned down . Roots agreed . "When you're in the studi o it's sterile," said Rose . "It's (studio recording) like
another instrument one mus t learn how to play - one unit being the whole band," said Dym E . Tree . Rose explained that track s are laid down separately in th e recording studio, with the bas e and drums recording their bit s first. " I don't get to hear the : whole thing until eight months down the road . On the stage you get instant feedback," sai d Rose. "I think our last tape sounds way better, " said Dy m E. Tree . "In the studio we don' t jump around like we do on stage — we're trying to get the notes right," said Rose . "Maybe I should jump around in th e studio ." "You should go play at 86th Street," said Atkinson . "Oh, that place sucks ." "But they've got a good (sound) system ." "They tried to beat Greg up ." `Whey tried to beat up everyone," said a woman wh o wasa friend of the band . I asked Rose if he was play ingon the Scottish theme with his tartan beret over wild re d hair. `This is my family tartan — I play on my roots theme yo u know, because this is Root s Roundup," Rose said . Pausing, he wiped his wet forehead. "No, I play on the sweaty theme ."

Celebration '90 has come under fire, again . This time the attack comes from inside the lesbain an d gay community . Some participants and organizers of events are angry with the steering committee for acts of censorship . To put it bluntly the steering committee of Celebration '90 ha s censored itself inorder to avoid controversy . Celebration `90 supposed to be about empowering gay s and lesbians. But instead it has bowed to pressure to clean up th e image of the games . The case of Queers in Art, a bazaar for various types o f art work, ranging from t'shirts to tatoos, is a clear example . The steering committee changed the name to the Artisan s Market at the last minute because the word `queer' wa s deemed to be deroagatory . But derogatory to whom ? The artists' aim in naming the market Queers in Ar t was to reclaim the word . To give it a non-derogatory meaning for themselves . The word is only derogatory because we give it tha t meaning . By accepting it as a word aimed with malice th e derogatory meaning is only strenghtened . The word i s further alienated from the those who want to reclaim it . One Big Lesbian Party, an evening of entertainment exclusively performed by lesbians, similarly had its nam e altered to Women all Night Long . This because the wor d lesbian was deemed exclusionary . What the organizers seem to have over looked is that the word gay usually refers to men, hence we refer to gay s and lesbians. Gay, as in the Gay Games III is likewis e exclusionary. Events that are running parallel to Celebration 90, bu t are unconnected have been much bolder and indeed effec tive in supporting and showing homosexual culture o r sensibilities . The worst case of self-censorship, however, must be th e posters for Celebration '90 that we have all seen at the bu s shelters . The bright smiling faces, happy people are repre sented in full colour, but the words gay, lesbian, bisexual , dyke, fag, or queer are not mentioned or seen once . The reasons are worse yet. Seaboard Advertising, a Jimmy Pattison company, offered a 75 percent discount on the ads if the word GAY was NOT mentioned . If you are willing to sell your indentity then how are you going to figh t to give it its rightful place in society?

But that is how many people have described hell, and thi s was a kind of living hell . 50 degrees and getting hotter. I looked over my shoulder and glanced at the other men in my platoon and looke d them over carefully . It was harder to recognize their features beneath the anti-chemical gear that we were wearing . Our point man , Joe Altwasser, was skudling along at a merry pace, under the conditions, about fifty feet in front of us. Against the barren terrai n of this desert, we stood out like a blot of ink on paper . Following behind him, were John Gray and Bauhbbe , who even as the sun bea t down upon their brows, were sinking further into a pit of despair, hopelessness, and insanity. Cradling their M-16's lovingly, Sergeants Paul Dayson and Martin Chester were thinking about thei r loved ones left behind: Rebecca Fraser and Brenda Wong, respectively . I was next in line, walking beside my childhood friend and second-in-command : Steve Chan . Hao Li was dogging our heels, caressing his M-60 while his subservient aide, Dave Weih wa s loading up a string ofbullets . Suddenly, before I was finished with m y crew, the air was filled with a hail of bullets, and a few of my peopl e went down . I looked quickly and noticed Isobel Simpson, Mark Nielson, and John Lambert had been cut down . Our medics, Ted Aussem and Ernie Stelzer were attempting to remedy the situatio n with their attention . Our phone man, Don Mah, was radioing bas e while war journalist David Loh was shooting pictures . With my peripheral vision I noticed Peter `the bomber' Lankester was riggin g up the LAW's and RPG 's, while Lyanne Evans was layingdown cover fire as he scrambled into position . But 'God' was with us, in a big way. A squadron of fighters flew by our position and went on strafing run s and dropped a few bombs . We took care of the rest . After th e opposition was cleaned up, I led my platoon over the rise, and marched the rest of the way back to base, and a few hours later w e were all down at a bar in downtown Boise, talking over another day of desert training in mid-state Idaho .

There is an tion when it becomes alternative however, we can
do nothing, hope someone else will handle it and then simply await the inevitabl e — Global Destruction!! ! I understand that the office space which Global Developments applied for was allocated to a counselling centre . I have no problem with this allocation by the Board as it is wel l within their jurisdiction to do so fo r whateve r reasons they see fit . I won der though about the nee d for the counselling centre to be in a high density, high ex posure location for a coupl e of reasons . One is that whe n one finds they are in need of counselling for whateve r reason they would rathe r have a low profile and no t have to walk into an offic e where a good number of people (and friends) coul d recognize then (no one like s to admit they can't handle a situation on their own) . Another reason is tha t when people know they have a problem they usually seek the assistance they need and therefore will locate the proper counsellin g facilities. Whereas, as was quite evident through th e engineers fiasco, that many people do not even under stand that problems exist , or if they do understand th e problems, they do not understand their severity . Thus the need for high expo sure, to let the students know of the problems an d provide them with informa tion on ways they can ge t involved to help solve them . As the AMS Board has already decided not to have any further discussions on the allocation of office space , I think it would be a good idea to put the question to
the students through the already proposed fall referendum so that the student s themselves can decide how important it is to them that UBC establish a progressive group such as Global Developments . If they vote it to be a worthy enough cause to warrant a high profile an d uplift UBC's tarnished image somewhat, then that i s how it should be . You may ask ; "Why should we provide Global Developments with an y special consideration or in formation space? " To this I answer; "If yo u do not give them their small request and the Society folds without being give n the greatly needed support of the AMS Board, then th e situation stays the sam e here at UBC . This woul d mean that we fail as a responsible, well respecte d educational institute t o make the educational changes necessary to adap t to the future developments of our planet . If we fail t o promote understanding and awareness here in our smal l UBC community then ther e is very little chance as future leaders that we wil l ever be able to handle th e situation on a global scale . If we do not begin to have a global society working to ward a sustainable environment, as soon as possible, al l the facts support the conclu sion that our planet wil l cease to support life as we know it, what other society within the SUB is workin g toward the salvation of humanity on this planet? Thi s is why they need the specia l privileges . . . .because they have a special task! "
As I sit here I canno t help but think of the atrocity that has been committed o n the other side of the globe . No, I am not talking abou t Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. That was completely justified . For years Kuwait, under the control of the evil empire of the United States

Militancy on the rise in Vancouve r by Martin Cheste r
•r

t
In the past months, or even weeks, Vancouver has been trans formed into a massive stage for militant activity . Where once the most active Vancouver became was the annual yuppie retro-fashion show/ peace walk, the city has recentl y been bursting at its seams with a variety of political protests . Yesterday about one hundre d people turned out to a noon hou r march on the Indian Affairs office on Alberni . Just a few weeks ago a couple hundred gave up there sandwiches in the sun to listen t o native leaders speak on the Ok a blockades and show their suppor t for the Mohawks in Quebec . ACT-UP, the militant grou p calling for the rights of people wit h AIDS, has finally organized a chapter in Vancouver. The group' s first demonstration took the for m of a die-in on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery last Wednesday. With their reputation fo r large, vocal and active protests, do not expect ACT-UP Vancouver to be silent. They have existed for just a short while and have al ready staged one dramatic event; ACT-UP has the promise of a whole lot more . Finally, Vancouver has hi t the big time in the housing struggle . Vancouver now has a squatting community, smal l though it may be . A stretch of houses on Frances Street in Eas t Vancouver is home to what i s touted as the largest squat i n Canada . Now that the squatting
movement has taken root, expec t it to expand as the available, in expensive housing disappears . These are simply the most vocal of the protest groups . Al l around the city, in all sorts o f social groups, from senior citize n groups protesting the destruction of Kitsalano apartment building s to environmental groups organized by West Vancouver home makers . What is perhaps most interesting, though, is the wide sprea d support these groups are receiving from the public . I stood, watching a rally on Burrard street bridge two weeks ago. A predominantly non-indigenous group of protestors carrying banners and chanting "cops out of Oka " held up traffic to distribute leaflets, during rus h hour, but yet few commuters were upset . A few yelled at and cursed the protestors for blocking traffi c or chastised them for supporting the natives, but for the most part the rally had public support . Bankers in their BMWs an d business owners in their Jag convertibles, stopped, called out support, honked their approval an d accepted the protestor's leaflets . The question is, why is thi s happening all of a sudden i n peaceful, apathetic Vancouver ? Throughout the eighties , politics in Canada have bee n changing . Governments have been altering their focus more and more towards economics and away from human concerns . Citizens have taken a back seat to the
mighty buck . Developers hav e been given free reign becaus e they create jobs. People have fought by legal means, and the legal means hav e failed them . They have writte n letters, but their letters hav e been ignored . They have shouted , but their calls have fallen on dea f ears . So what is the option ? The only option is to broaden their focus and protest . Bring the power of public opinion to bear on politicians and force change . Once frustration has set i n all it takes is a spark to ignit e militant protests . In the case of Vancouver the spark has come from two places : the Mohawk protests in Quebec and from the Frances Street squatters . The Mohawks have taught frustrated Canadians all acros s the country that there is an optio n to the legal means . Extra-legal activity can force the government's hand . The squatters have given a focus to neophyte militants . At the core of many of these group s you will likely find one of th e squatters, many of whom are veteran protestors . The combination of the frustration of a decade of money obsessed governments and the ex ample given by the natives at Oka have created a new face for politics in Vancouver . Only time will tell if this radi calism will influence voting patterns in future elections.

HE Stanley Jordan Tri o dazzled the jazz crowd a t the Commodore Ballroom with some soaring melodies an d incredibly quick paced fusion las t Thursday . Born in Chicago, Stanle y Jordan has become, at the relatively young age of 31, one of North America's premier jaz z guitarists . MUSIC Stanley Jordan Tri o The Commodore Ballroo m August 2 Whether he ' s playing a solo rendition of "Autumn Leaves " coaxing the notes from hi s guitar, or swaying and tappin g his foot in time to the rhythms of his trio' s fast and furious fusion tunes, Jordan cuts an impressiv e stage . At several points in th e concert, Jordan would play th e stationary guitar already set u p on stage, as well as the one slun g over his shoulder . The trio played a marathon concert of two fifty-minute sets , exhausting their entire repertory . Self-effacing and modest , Jordan rarely spoke and when h e did, he only had words of praise for his bandmates drummer

Tony Campbell and bassis t Charnett Moffatt . Campbell literally had a wall of drums at his disposal , but to his credit, his solo did not merely boom out the sound . Instead, he used his drums sparingly to simulate a smal l ball spinning around a roulette , and even added chimes intermittently. Constantly grinning, Moffatt seemed to enjoy himself immensely as he incited th e audience to clap rhythmically to guitarist Jordan . Moffatt was a true crowd pleaser with his amazin g technique of whacking the bass with the side of his han d for a strange thumping effect . Several times during th e second set, the audience spontaneously stood and clapped wildl y with praise . One of the highlights of the evening was Jordan playing a searing and soulful version o f Marvin Gaye's "What's Coin' On" . Of Jordan's segue into a rendition of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven", Mike Coury, who was in the audience , said, "He (Jordan) did it way better than they (Led Zepplin ) could ever have . " Most of the audienc e appeared to enjoy Jordan' s recent work in fusion more tha n his solo efforts .
