SU refunding course packs

by Tim Shoults

If that course pack you paid $45.00 for seemed a little too much, it probably was.

Over 3,000 students have received partial refunds from the University Bookstore in the last two days asa result of overpriced course packs. The SU took over production of the coursepacks from the Bookstore last month.

Course packs are collections of text excerpts and other materials designed specifically for U of A courses.

the University Bookstore, agreed that there was confusion due to the hasty transition. “Everybody’s looking bad on this thing when every effort has been made to make it work right,” he said.

Some of the price increases from the old course packs were exceptional. Ron Swan, a second- year Agriculture student, noticed that his coursepack for the second term of his Chemistry lab cost almost three times the amount of the identical course pack which was produced and sold by the Bookstore in September.

“Everybody’s looking bad on this thing when every effort has been made to make it work right.”

considerably higher than course packs from last term due partly to an excessive Bookstore markup on top of the SU’s price. The new technology also caused some course packs to be much more expensive than others due to the low number of copies produced.

As a result, the SU announced this week that refunds will be given on a large number of course packs, ranging from $0.65 to $29.15 depending on the course. A complete list of the refunds available on course packs is found on page 12 of today’s Gateway.

“In the long term, prices will be considerably lower ... this refund is to fix the problem right now,” said Students’ Union president Garett Poston. He stated that the SU was unaware of the large price differences between the old and the new course packs until they were on the shelves at the Bookstore.

Another problem was the fact that the contract between the University and the SU to produce course packs was not finalized until late last month, which caused some rushing in the preparation of the course packs. “There was really a state of confusion between us and the Bookstore,” said Poston.

Bill Quick, assistant director of

According to Quick, the overpricing in that particular case was due to an inventory error. The Bookstore informed the SU that extra course packs had to be produced for the course when several hundred of the old course packs were available. The Bookstore will refund the difference between the price of last term’s course pack and the course pack and absorb the loss.

In the instance of the other refunds based on the SU’s re- pricing, it will be the SU who absorbs the majority of the costs. Quick said that as of Wednesday over 3,000 refunds of an undetermined amount of money had been given to students by the Bookstore.

Quick suggested that the new technology used by the SU to create course packs has resulted in some unavoidably higher prices for students. “They're using different technology, and that different technology was significantly more expensive.”

But according to Poston, the problems with the course packs are only growing pains, and the system should be functioning well by September. “We acknowledged that this January would only be a trial

run for us,” said Poston.

“The whole reason we got into the course packs in the first place was to provide higher-quality, lower-cost course packs for students... that’s still going to be the outcome, sooner rather than later,” said Poston.

But Swan thinks that the confusion is proof that the SU is more concerned with profit than with lower-cost materials for students. “They're saying it'll be cheaper next year ... I don’t see how it’s ever going to be cheaper for the student.”

Refunds are available to students who purchased course packs at the higher prices (before January 13) until Friday, January 24 at the Bookstore refund area on the lower level of SUB.

Giving birth is no picnic for anyone, but childbirth may be even more traumatic for minority women, according to graduate student Denise Spitzer.

Spitzer spoke on Friday at a ad ‘ seminar at the U of A. In her igre : ; Past ‘ . 4 ae ie Ret. : . presentation, entitled “Invisible bas bodies: minority women, hospitals, and the childbirth experience,” Spitzer explained that for minority women, the experience of giving birth is often clouded with feelings of loss of control, alienation, frustration, and fear.

In her research, Spitzer interviewed First Nations, Indo- Canadian, Vietnamese-Canadian, and European-Canadian women, as well as obstetric nurses who interact with women from. ethnic backgrounds. She found that communication barriers were a major issue. For many of the women she spoke with, “when they were in labour... they really felt they wanted to speak their native language, even though they spoke English,” so that trying to express their needs to hospital staff was difficult and frustrating. Further stress was added if the woman’s family members did not speak English, since she often felt a responsibility to translate explanations of what was happening, in order to alleviate their fears.

The ordeal of childbirth is especially frightening for a woman who is not proficient in English, because :she is deprived of information about procedures; this can lead to.distrust of hospital staff, Spitzer cited the example.of women

whose “babies are taken away. Maybe they’re being taken for tests but [the mothers] have no way of knowing.”

Language also affected the women’s treatment by nurses, “many [of whom] observed that they and their colleagues would avoid patients that they have a communication barrier with,” said Spitzer. Other problems that nurses faced were due to cultural differences. Spitzer explained that

Communication complicates childbirth for minority women

childbirth experience less threatening for minority women. The Royal Alexandra Hospital, where almost all babies in Edmonton are delivered, has just received funding to hire a woman who speaks Cree or other aboriginal languages, to work with pregnant First Nations women. Spitzer said she is heartened by this step, and stressed that “having someone there who can act as a cultural broker is important to both client and staff.”

The ordeal of childbirth is especially frightening for a woman who is not proficient in English, because she is deprived of information about procedures; this can lead to distrust of hospital staff. Spitzer cited the example of women whose “babies are taken away. Maybe they’re being taken for tests but [the mothers] have no way of knowing.

“generally the nurses try to be aware of cultural practices, but some admitted discomfort” with certain behaviours, especially those that conflicted with conventional hospital practices, such as Vietnamese-Canadians’ belief that they should avoid showering and washing their hair after giving birth. Many of the women Spitzer spoke with had experienced racism during their hospital stay. They “felt that European-Canadians received prompter and kinder assistance,” and when the patient’s behaviour conflicted with hospital rules— having a large group of family members at her bedside, for example—“the admonishments the woman received resonated strongly with stereotypes.” 5 cj One. woman.even reported being called a “dirty Indian” by a hospital employee. However, Spitzer reported that “stereotyping and racist behaviour were revealed to me as a two-way street,” as some women of ethnic background treated nurses with little respect.

Spitzer said that her study has helped raise awareness in several institutions, but suggested that community-based programs should also be initiated, where mothers could receive prenatal to postpartum support from women with similar experiences. As health- care restructuring shifts the focus of recovery from hospitals to the home, community support is necessary for many women who have just given birth, especially recent immigrants who are isolated from the assistance they would traditionally receive from their mothers and extended families,

In the past five years, the length of hospital stay for a mother and her

newborn has decreased from three

days to 24 hours—a length of time; that nurses feel is insufficient to! educate new mothers about breast feeding, nutrition, and other health concerns. Nurses have less time to spend with patients, and minority women, who often pose an additional challenge to a nurse’s ability to communicate information to her, may be suffering most, she said.

Attendance down

| at athletic events

by Chris Miller

There’s no shortage of action in university sports—the only thing missing is the roar of the crowd.

Rob Daum, head coach for the Golden Bears hockey team, said declining attendance at home s| games this year has been a | disappointment.

“I don’t think there’s any question our attendance hasn't been as good as we’re accustomed to,” he said Tuesday. “If you have a lot of people in the stands who are boisterous, it definitely gives [the team] a boost.”

According to the U of A Athletics and _ Recreation department, there have been an average of 500 people per home game, down from about 700 per game last year. Previous years have seen better attendence, Daum said.

“I know when I played here in the late 70s and early 80s, attendance was good,” he said. “I don’t think the team has. changed in the past couple of years, so there have got to be some outside influences.”

He said the appearance of the Edmonton Ice WHL team may be one possibility. Daum also said there was less promotion of the Bears on Edmonton radio stations this year. “I think university sports in general tend to get left out.”

But empty seats haven’t changed the team’s attitude toward the game, he said.

n “|The players] give 100 per cent g| every time. If you work hard, you'd ‘| like to show that to as many people {| as you can.”

is the best in all things,” he said. “It would be nice for [students] to want to support their university, whether it be sports events, or theatre or whatever.”

While there was some good support at the start of the season, including the first game which drew 1,200 fans, Wilkinson ‘said he was disappointed the crowds didn’t keep coming back. “I thought that [for] our first two games, the crowds were pretty good. Our third game, when we were three-and-one, really surprised me... usually if they don’t come out, it might be because [the team] is losing.”

“It’s a matter of starting a new experience and making that part of your life,” he said. “I think they’d like the calibre of ball. Even if your team isn’t winning, it’s probably still going to be a good game.”

With the close of another year my hopes ina united Canada have been renewed. You may scoff at that statement if you consider that during the last few months of 1996 English was outlawed on business signs in Quebec. Regardless of this, I have these hopes after hearing of how Lucien Bouchard has decided to take a “softer” approach to the language laws issue (which almost cost him his leadership), his deci- sion to accompany the “Team Canada” tours and the new francophone Quebec political party formed to promote unity, and Michel Gauthier announcing a leadership convention in March.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think this issue is over, far from it. I also don’t think that Bouchard received a visit from the “ ghost of Christmas present” foretelling a cultural and economic disaster in Christmas’ to come if Quebec sepa- rates. I am not that naive.

I do think that there may be winds of change to come, not just chinooks, but possible changes of hearts caused by a loss of faith in the benefits of sovereignty. But, this cannot happen without us Anglo- Canadians. I know we have it in

Consider that with tuition set at $3,000 per year, students obtaining a BA in four years (often very diffi- cult to do for most students who increasingly have to work part-time to make ends meet) will face at mini- mum a $12,000 debt upon gradua- tion. At the end of four years, the total bill for that BA will be $16,192 -- not taking into account the inter- est rate charged by Student Loans during the four months the student has off each summer.

us, I have seen, felt, and continue to feel the emotion that is possible for change. Canadians can’t give up, the emotion is not dead. My first hand experience with this emotion only confirms this. When I heard about Robert Bourassa’s death this past fall, I was overcome with sadness at the loss of a great Cana- dian. I didn’t know him personally or even know all of his | accomplishments, but I knew of his struggle against cancer, and that he ; could be credited with helping keep Canada together.

His death reminded me of how.

remote the separation issue seems here in Alberta, and I contrasted that attitude with what I saw this past summer in Montreal, the city that kept our country united. It was Montreal that allowed the “No” side a wafer-thin victory a year ago in the Quebec referendum.

I spent five weeks in Montreal at a language exchange program during the summer. For the first time I was confronted with the is- sue of Separation. I had always been adamant about being a Fed- eralist, but in the West our removal

My mom’s parting advice came to mind, “Nicole, you keep your views to yourself, you hear? You're in a foreign land!” At the time I thought she was delusional.

And that is exactly what it felt like; a foreign land. There was a different language, a different cul- ture, a different way of life, and a different attitude. But, I was still in

Canada, I was still at home, and although it wasn’t my home by definition as the place my family and I reside, it was still home. Que- bec was as much “home” as an Inuit community in the N.W.T. or a mining town in the Maritimes. This was Canada, and it won’t be Canada without Quebec.

The verbal attacks I heard against Canada infuriated me; they cut to my core, and I took them as personal offences. But when the French-Canadian lead- ers in our group didn’t even stand up during the national anthem at the Expos’ game, I saw every shade of red. I wanted to spit in their faces (how un-Canadian!), but I was stopped by the fear of

being booted out of the program, and the thought of my mom’s hor- ror at my actions.

Anger can lead to indifference or indifference can cause anger; it is almost a chicken and egg debate. We have all heard or even said things like: “just let them go, we'll see how long they'll survive.” I’m not sure which attitude is worse,

but at least anger is an opinion. And I say this not just because that is how I reacted.

Didn’t these young separatists realize that it is our differences in this country that are our strength and uniqueness? They should unite us, not divide us. Yes, Quebecois are distinct, as are the indigenous peoples, and every group of immigrants who came to this land. We must celebrate our multiculturalism, glorifying the fact that there is not just one face of Canada, or of Quebec. Perogies, salmon, poutine and spuds are as different as the Rockies, prairies, Arctic, and shield. Robert Bourassa knew that, and he fought for it.

Contrary to public opinion, Quebec is too rich a place to lose. Robert Bourassa fought a long, dif- ficult battle against cancer, and he finally lost. Let’s not lose the battle with Separatist Quebec through indifference; or become like a war torn Yugoslavia. I’ve had emotion and now so must you!

This is the final article in my series on hemp. Here I look at the seeds and health benefits of hemp in comparison to the ordi- nary flax plant.

Hemp and flax both produce valuable oilseeds. The hemp ad- vocates brag that hemp seed is second only to soy beans in pro- tein content at about 19 to 24 per- cent. Technically that may be true if you take into account that it is tied for second with legumes and several other oilseeds in- cluding flax. The oil of these seeds is particularly important. Hemp is about 25 to 35 percent oil whereas flax is about 35 to 44 percent oil making flax the supe- rior source. Of this oil, 80 per- cent is unsaturated in hemp (which some advocates say is the highest of any seed), and 90 per- cent is unsaturated in flax, mak- ing flax the healthier choice. The taste is about the same for both. Linseed oil (flax seed oil as a byproduct of the linen industry) is usually more bitter although its nutritional value is the same.

Unlike hemp seed which is

rather expensive, flax seed is one of the least expensive seeds around. Pricecheck: 2 lbs bag of hemp seeds at the True North Hemp Co. - $10; 2 Ibs of bulk or- ganically grown brown flax seed across the street at Terra Foods - $2. And, unlike the hemp seeds,

the flax doesn’t have a warning on it saying, “Important: float to remove rocks”.

Hemp oil is often used for paints, varnishes, and other oil based products. Flax seed oil (and linseed oil) is also used for paints, varnishes and several other oil based products — in-

cluding linoleum (named after linseed oil). Both oils have nearly identical uses, give or take a few products on either side.

The unsaturated fats in these oils are particularly important to health. Hemp advocates often like to point out the medicinal benefits of smoking marijuana, particularly in cases of cancer and MS. Marijuana is really only effective as a pain killer and per- haps as an anti-nauseant, and does nothing towards actually curing or preventing diseases. These unsaturated fats, however, may actually help prevent or even cure them.

Hemp and flax oils contain two essential unsaturated fatty acids: linolenic acid (omega3) and linoleic acid (omega6). Ac- cording to some research, an Q3:Q6 ratio of roughly 0.7:1 will actually prevent the formation of malignant tumors and reduce the size of existing ones. The same research suggests that to much Q6 may actually promote cancer. The diets of wild terrestrial mammals, Paleolithic humans, and cultures where’cancer rates

Another advantage of flax seed oil over hemp seed oil is price. Pricecheck: 238ml bottle of hemp seed oil at the True North Hemp Co. - $28; 270 ml bottle of flax seed oil at Terra Foods- $7.

Finally, a gum can be ex- tracted from flax seeds. This gum can be used as a natural food additive in making ice cream and soda pop. Vegetar- ians may find it interesting that flax gum can also be used as an egg white substitute (although it lacks the leavening effect). I have read that since the gum is contained within the seed itself, ground flax seed can also be used. No similar product can be obtained from hemp.

I didn’t search high and low for a champion; flax was really one of the first ones that came to mind.

THROUGH THE LENS

Getting bored of the same old routine? The Group of Several, a local group of artistic photographers, has something for you. The group exhibits some of the freshest work to come out of Edmonton yet. Whether young or old, this is an exhibit that should not be missed. The visit to Profiles Gallery is well worth the drive out to St. Albert.

The Group of Several is a dedicated group of local photographers with various back- grounds. With a range of styles, from photojournalistic to the more avant-garde, the members of the group present some of their best work for sale and viewing pleasure.

The exhibit at Profiles, a relatively small gallery, is a collection of work ranging from three: to five pieces by each photographer. Each work is unique in its materials, format and, most importantly, in the message they deliver.

One of the photographers on exhibit, Randall Raiche, uses existing light and super- high-speed black and white film to produce his signature grainy style. Raiche’s pictures,

revealing. Raiche has an interesting ability to involve the viewer right in the picture. Through his images, he evokes the sense of sound and motion. One can almost sme} the coffee at the café in “Playlet #9.” His work can be most closely compared to the modern- ist photographer Brassai.

Another member of the group, Delbert Kostura, uses Polaroid image transfer for a series of photos which he calls “June 10, 1931.” Kostura also has on display a very interest- ing photo called “Lilith.” “Lilith’s” composi- tion and hand colouring is quite criginal. “Lilith” portrays the grace and beauty of a dancer, while maintaining the notion of move- ment through slow shutter speeds.

Artistic photography has been around since the invention of the camera obscura, but like any medium in the visual arts, the style keeps on changing. Through mastering the technical aspects of the camera, the Group of Several has been able to push the envelope on conventional photography. As Bob Todrick (one of the group’s members) states in his in-

troduction, “I stopped waiting for the deci- sive moment and decided to concentrate on how I felt about the world around me through my photographs.” Todrick has a display at the Gallery entitled “Breasts.”

Other photographs on display were by Collin Orthner, who has been published in Life magazine, and features a series on the movement of water; Jim Ainsle, whose work with medium format infrared is technically and artistically spectacular; Micheal Bayans, whose photograph of a street in Amsterdam called “Pillars Perspective” is the strongest

Heads, joys,

If you have plans this Friday, you may wish to change them and take a little trip down to the Convention Centre. At a show presented in part by the U of A Engineers’ Society, people will be treated to an evening of entertainment, courtesy of the Headstones, Killjoys and the Bloody Chicletts.

Headstones fans will be happy to see the Ontario-based rockers in Edmonton once again, bringing their brand of aggressive, hard hitting rock and roll. The Headstones have been busy of late, with one of their projects being the film Hard Core Logo, in which lead singer Hugh Dillon played the title character.

The band is also coming out with a new al- bum this March, and Edmontonians will al- most surely be treated to a preview of many of the new songs.

The Killjoys are currently on a Western Canadian tour and will be joining the Head- stones for this, their third show of the tour. Gene, the drummer from the Killjoys was kind enough to take some time to answer a few questions over the phone. While the com- bination of the pop-rock music of the Killjoys and the Headstones’ heavier style seems somewhat awkward, it apparently works out quite well. “We did a show with them this summer at Sunfest ... we wondered the same thing, but it actually worked out really well, and gave both bands the chance to draw on different crowds.” The Killjoys have played with the Headstones several times now, and they are looking forward to playing with them

photograph of the exhibit; Tracy Grabowski, whose style in self-portraiture is comparable to Joyce Neimanas, and whose colour selec- tion is like that of Harry Callahan; Brad Callihoo, who incorporates full frame print- ing and exceptional tonal ranges in his series on native life at Peerless Lake; and John Huising, whose images of hands evoke thought and discussion in true postmodernist fashion.

Robert Frank, a late twentieth century avant-garde artist, said it best: “There is one thing the photograph must contain: the hu-

manity of the moment. This kind of photog- raphy is realism. But realism is not enough— there has to be vision and the two together can make a good photograph. It is difficult to describe this thin line where matter ends and mind begins.” The photographers of the group of several have successfully melded the two to present an intriguing exhibit.

again. Apparently, the band didn’t even know about the Headstones until they checked their tour schedule, and were surprised to see the Convention Centre listed on a series of club shows.

This is the third tour in half a year for the three friends from Hamilton, and they are looking forward to it. The band is playing about a 60/40 mix of songs from their new album Gimme Five and their old one, Starry. Songs should include past hits “Dana” and “Today I Hate Everyone” as well as their most recent single, “Soaked.” Their next single, “Look like Me,” has a claymation video in the works, which will apparently hold true to its title. Gene informed me, “[They] just spent the last little while checking things out, mak- ing sure the faces matched up.”

The Killjoys tour will take them from Winnipeg to Vancouver, and all the major cit-

ies in between, including one in Grande Prai- rie. “That show should be interesting; we did one there before, and it was really good, they don’t get many shows up there are really happy when someone comes.”

Along for the ride are the Bloody Chicletts, whose name stems from a term when you punch someone and knock their teeth out. Their current single, “She's a Freak,” is also getting a fair bit of airtime, and I would recommend not showing up late and miss- ing their set. Doors to the show openat 8 p.m., and the bands will probably get underway between 9 and 10. Tickets are $16 after serv- ice charges and are available at information booths on campus and through Ticketmaster. This is one show you definitely want to check out, you will not be disappointed

DULL PORTRAIT

Campion’s new period piece out of tune (unlike The Piano)

Jane Campion’s The Portrait of A Lady is as stiff and dry as a still life. It is a cold and banal period film with little emotional content and a baffling array of characters who come and go seem- ingly at random. On the whole the act- ing is quite good, though it does not come anywhere near being good enough to save this film from medioc- rity.

Nicole Kidman plays Isabelle Archer, an independent American woman visiting her cousins in Britain. She is an independent woman because she has refused marriage proposals from a variety of suitors, including Mr. Goodwood, who has followed her from the United States, and now in the UK she has to fend off Lord Warburton. To aid her in her quest to remain single and travel, her cousin Ralph (Martin Donovan) talks his dying father into leaving her a fortune in his will. Ralph is also in love with Isabelle, but as he has consumption he knows he cannot be a proper husband to her, so he wishes to aid her in any way possible. Also aiding her in her quest to remain free, or so Isabelle believes, is another American ex-patriot, Madame Merle, played wonderfully by Barbara Hershey. Actually all Madame Merle wants is to set up Isabelle with her “friend” Osmond (John Malkovich). Osmond wants to marry Isabelle for her money, and $0 he'can’add her to’his art collection.

The film plods along, and at no time do you feel sympathetic for Isabelle or her plight, anc even though she is supposed to be a smart and independent women, she comes across as naive and somewhat dim half of the time. Her character is ab- solutely enveloped by Osmond in a love- less marriage, and if she were half of the character she was meant to be in the film, she never would have stood for it. In the end it is up to Ralph, Goodwood and Warburton to help her. Kidman does well in the role for what it allows her to do, which is mostly burst into tears. I wish I had kept a running count of how many times she cries; it is near a dozen or so. The film’s best performances come from Malkovich and Hershey, though.

As Osmond, Malkovich reprises the role of glossy veneered creep which he began with Dangerous Liasons. The fact that he can make C'smond, who is fundamentally simi-

lar to Valmont into a different character is a credit to his acting ability. Osmond is a con- trol freak, and Malkovich is carefully re- strained in a role which could have been played much bigger.

being a one dimensional character and is the only character in the film who under- goes any sort of transformation, even though we are never allowed to see the end result of her change which is a seri- ous omission from the movie.

The rest of the cast is adequate. Their characters’ random appearances leave a bad taste though, and this probably stems from the editing of the book into screenplay format.

Campion makes some odd directoral choices, some of which work, others do not. First of all, even though the film is set in the Victorian era (1872), Campion opens with a shot of modern girls, ending on one listen- ing to a portable CD player. Other sty- listic choices include the use of an an- tique camera to record travel se- quences, which actually works quite well, and a couple of fantasy se- quences, and a token nude shot of Kidman. Also, for a film which is about two and a half hours long, it ends rather abruptly, changing the ending slightly from the novel, and leaving a lot of questions.

In the end, The Portrait of A Lady is just not an engaging film. You do not care about what happens to the protagonist; which you must to make any movie watchable. As far as period films go, this will make you appreci- ate Merchant Ivory movies all the more. Save this for the dollar theater, and if you are desperate for a period film, wait for Ridicule, which is com-

Victoria is the top team in the conference.

Four of their players are ranked in the top 20 in scoring.

Oh no, there’s no pressure.

Victoria has four of the top 20 scorers in the conference and are a threat from anywhere on the court. Eric Hinrichsen, Pat Cannon, Aaron Olsen and Seth Adler are all scoring well this year for Victoria, In addition, Victoria also has a great inside game with Cannon and Hinrichsen leading the conference in rebounds.

“| think we learned from last weekend that you can be over prepared. We’re just coming into this weekend knowing that we have to work hard ... not come out flat like we did last weekend,” said Golden Bear Max Darrah.

However, although they don’t want to over-prepare, the Bears have to keep in mind who they are facing.

“This weekend is probably the most important weekend of the year so far,” said Golden Bear Mike Smith.

With a chance to move up in the standings the Bears are also going to have to be at the top of their game this weekend.

“They have a press that gives a lot of teams a lot of trouble. The

team in the country,” said U of A team captain Jeff Collier.

However, this is by no means a mismatch. The Bears are one of the few teams that can present a real challenge to the Vikes.

“We're not a shabby team either, we are one of the best teams in the country too,” said Collier.

Regardless of which team emerges victorious _ this weekend, both games will undoubtedly be close. As two of the most talented teams in the country battle it out, the rest of the CIAU should be paying close attention, because chances are one or both of these teams will be challenging for the national title this year.

Oh no, there’s no pressure at all, not at all. Yeah, right.

weekends ago and then winning two overtime victories over the University of Saskatchewan you thought the University of Alberta Golden Bears hockey team would get a chance to relax. But, this weekend in Vancouver against the last place team in the CWUAA West Division, University of British Columbia, they are still up against the wall.

“All the weekends from here on in are big weekends. You can’t relax in this league, for a second. If you relax you lose,” said Bears head coach Rob Daum.

“With Calgary losing a game to Regina and with the schedule that they [Calgary] have there’s still a chance, if we can keep winning, to finish in first place. We're going to need some help from some other teams, but Calgary’s schedule lends itself to the possibility of that happening,” said Daum

Bears have already put that tournament in the past are looking towards the future, as far ahead as the playoffs.

Myden visits UofA for CWUAA fi nals

by Wade Tymchak

At the Olympics silver was good enough for him, but at the CWUAA swimming championship meet the University of Calgary’s Curtis Myden won't be satisfied with anything but gold. From the sounds of it he should have no trouble satisfying his metallic appetite.

“There will be guys who will be competitive in some races with him, but I think he’s pretty much going to win his events. I can’t see anyone really challenging him, but stranger things have happened,” said U of A head coach Deb Sigaty.

Although from the sounds of it the other men attending the championship hosted by the U of A in the West Pool won’t be that much of a challenge to Myden in truth there are a number of quality swimmers. Victoria’s Dino Verbrugge, British Columbia’s Dustin Hersee, Calgary’s Chris Renaud, and Alberta’s Collin Sood and Michael Knight aren’t going to allow Myden to be the only hero. Sood and Knight should also make the U of A a top-three competitor.

“We should be top-three in both [men’s and women’s]. On the men’s side ... Calgary and BC both have really strong teams, they both have Olympians from the last Olympic Games on their teams which we don’t have. But, we do have quite a bit of depth and we have some guys who are going to place in the top- three. So, we'll be in there for sure

. and I think we should be competitive,” said Sigaty.

The Pandas swim team should also make a decent showing, especially with the presence of women’s swimming giant Sabrina Wilson on the team. Any showing the women put up should bode well for nationals considering the

sastzigth of competition in Canada West.

“Canada West is, judging from the last rankings, the strongest [conference]. This is probably some

of the aitaiaes swimming right now in Canada,” said Sigaty.

At this level no one will be satisfied with anything less than gold, evenif they are facing Myden.

Nation wide conspiracy

by Denise Fernandes

It is a grand conspiracy.

Over the past month the University of Alberta Pandas volleyball team has missed a road game and a tournament because of the bad weather. It seems that other teams, in order to avoid being destroyed by the Pandas, have the roads and airports closed to prevent the Pandas from bulldozing through.

This weekend the Pandas will get some game experience when they host the Panda Classic from Jan. 17-19. This tournament will involve the University of Saskatchewan Huskies, the University of Regina Cougars, the University of Winnipeg Wesmen, the University of Toronto Varsity

Blues and will also give the Pandas a chance to test out their new image. .

“We've had about six weeks off, “ said the Pandas Shandra Doran, “[but] it’s rough in the gym all the time.”

The Pandas expect to come out of this tournament with nothing less than before.

“We're =“ to win,” said Doran.

“T think we can win and it’s good to play more matches,” added the Pandas Mirka Pribylova.

Pandas head coach Laurie Eisler has adopted the philosophy that even the great ones need a challenge as she altered the offence to make it faster. Either that or she wants to spend less time in the gym

and more time enjoying the weather.

“We have to play harder, If we pass better we can do that. It’s good that she [Eisler] is doing this. We have to improve,” said Pribylova.

Improve? Really? Ask the Pandas victims and they certainly won't agree.

“We have a fabulous setter, great hitters so we have the advantage over other teams,” said Doran.

With the Pandas deciding to speed up their game, and with the winter weather showing signs of going far, far away (hopefully), the competition better start relying on something other than the weather to ae the Pandas out of their

outdoors as appealing as cod liver oil there is only one place for the University of Alberta Pandas field hockey team to turn, the gym. After a disastrous CIAU championship tournament in Victoria at the beginning of November the Pandas field hockey team returns to the spotlight, or at least to the Sports pages of the Gateway. This weekend the Pandas will play host to the University of Alberta Indoor Field Hockey Tournament, a competition that is destined for some great competition. “The two Alumni teams are very good’..: and the team from

"Saskatchewan will have a couple of ex-Olympians on it,” said Pandas head coach Dru Marshall.

The tournament will be attended by the U of A, two University of Calgary teams, a Saskatchewan team, an Alberta Under-18 team, a Saskatchewan Senior team, a U of A Alumni team, and a U of C Alumni team.

For the university teams and the Alberta Under-18 team this will be a great opportunity for the coaches to work on the technical aspect of the game with the players. With the confined spaces, highly skilled players, and fast pace only perfection will prevail.

“We use indoor for a number of different reasons, but the primary one is to hone their [the player’s]

technical skills,” said Marshall. “Indoor is a great game in that it works on close teamwork in very close in situations and you really have to be technically proficient to play it.”

Having the opportunity to work on the technical aspect of the players’ games is one of the benefits of holding an indoor tournament, but it also allows the players to have some fun. The game is exciting, different, and carries with it none of the pressure that the CIAU season and championship do.

“Our main goal is just to go out and have some fun. It’s an exciting game and they enjoy playing it and it’s a little bit different,” said Marshall.

Ah, fun on the floor.
