W hat is the allure of Miami Vice? Why does ac- tor Don Johnson need two bodyguards to fend off groupies when he goes out to eat in Miami?

Wow has this show overcome its in- auspicious start (it languished in the bottom half of the Neilsen ratings in the first ten months when it ran head to head with Falcon Cresr on Friday nights) to achieve perennial

.I . top-ten finishes, 15 Emmy nominations and four Emmy awards? It also captures the highest percentage of male viewers age 18-54 of any show on the air excer)t Monday Night Football? How has

NBC president Brandon Tartikoff,

hard-boiled detectives in a sort of surrogate family with Castiilo as the head. They a11 will go to extraordinary lengths to help each other and to help other human beings. They’re knights in shining armor. Crockett i s even dressed in white.”

The code these detectives foliow is akin to Bushido, says Klovan, Bushido was the name given to the code of honour followed by Japan’s Samurai warriors.

“Bushido - in its strictest inter- pretation - means ‘code of knighthood’,” says Klovan. “The Samurai lived and died by Bushido. They were indifferent to pain or death, loyal only to the overlord. This is quite similar to the kind of dedication practised by the seven Ckettx‘tives in Miami Vice. In every show, there is always some mystical reference to Vietnam, C a m M i a or Southeast Asia. Crockett was with the 1st Air Cavalry in Vietaam and CatiUo worked for “The Com- pany” {probably CIA) in Thailand, CmWia and Ems.

“Castitlo provides a good exam- pie of wht Bushido is. in one show, aaually titled ‘Bushido’, CastiUo finds oat that a friend of his turned outIaw. But Castillo has nu moral & l e m a . ‘I can’t k t you walk,’ he tells fhe Friend, ’It’s my duty. It’s what f am.’ This kind of dedication w t & l y goes beyond the hard- bo#& detective and into Samurai ethics.”

Another contributing factor to the show’s innovative look is its music. “UsWly in television,” says Klovan, “music k used reinforce the action of, say, a Iove scene ur B dmse scene. In m i Vioe it is used to comment &the directly or ironically on the action, like the chorus in ancient. Greek theatre, For a m p l e , in one show over a shootout involving Crockett, Tubbs and a gangster, we can hear the Clash singing ‘No Peace in the Western World.’ The lyric comments directly on the action and this creates emotional excitement.”

Miami Vice’s musical score is notable also for its use of original songs, not cheap made-for-TV imitations. If necessary, executive pro- ducer Michael Mann wiIl spend $10,00 per episode just to acquire the rights to an original work. Ac- cording to Harpers Magazine, the budget of a single episode of Miami Vice is greater than the entire annual budget of the real vice squad in Miami.

“The visual style of Miami Vice,” says Klovan, “has its roots in the expressionist elements of the later films of the West German d i r ec to r , t he l a t e Werne r Fassbinder.” In Fassbinder’s later films, the whole Screen is awash in flamingo pink and cobalt blue neon, the predominant colors of Miami Vice. But where Fassbinder’s wurM was very grimy and seedy, Miami Vice is, in see 2: VICE

Morning: Take a shower with Don. Then help him do his hair.

Afternoon: Drive around in the Ferrari with Don.

Evening: Do tons of coke and have the big pork fest with Don.

From page 1 Klovan’s words, “more streamlined for a cooler colour and a jazzier look.”

Miami Vice’s visual style is in- teresting for the dichotomy it creates. The world of Miami is a very polished one. (Before shooting night scenes, for example, the streets are watered down to get a nice smooth reflection of moonlight off the pavement.) Yet underneath this glittering world of polished s t ree ts and winking pas te l nightclubs are sleazy degenerate dope dealers and outlaws. The set- ting for the show has been ap- propriately coined ‘glitter-sleaze’.

There is one very strict rule on the Miami Vice set and that is ‘no earth tones.’ Pastel shades are definitely the rule and anything red or brown is strictly taboo. “One of the reasons for this,” said Klovan, “is to reinforce the dream-like quality of the show.”

Another appealing aspect to the programme is its quick, rock video- like editing.

“Miami Vice is the first show to use rock video-like editing,” said Klovan. “In conventional television every shot must either reveal character or advance the plot. It is

linear narrative. Every shot must be self-explanatory so that if you leave the room for a few minutes, you can still follow the few strands of plot when you return. It’s like Dallas. Every three months or so I watch 15 minutes of it. Don’t ask me why, but in those minutes I’m caught up in everything that’s going on. The techniques of TV restrict the range of choices. Since every shot must be self-explanatory, one show is pretty much like the other.”

“Miami Vice is quite different. It’s told in non-linear fashion. Like Flashdance, gaps are left in the story. Each scene does not necessarily build on the preceding one. And after the first ten minutes the story doesn’t give you a lot of exposition. If you miss the first few moments of the show, you’re lost.

“The scenes themselves con- tradict the edicts of television. Usually the TV scene is a complete entity unto itself. There is a beginn- ing and a middle and an end. Not so in Miami Vice. The viewer will enter a scene in the middle and leave before the end. Miami Vice likes to do this. I t likes to challenge you. I t throws you into the middle of something and lets you figure i t out. Also the quick editing from one

scene to another gives the impres- sion of a dream.

The knock on Miami Vice has been style and sound at the expense of storyline, but Klovan does not see this as legitimate criticism.

“Miami Vice’s audience doesn’t read. It wants images and emotion and energy rather than plot or words.”

Although he applauds Miami Vice for the innovative use of visual and aural techniques, he also sees the show’s success in the context of television just keeping up with the times.

“Forty years ago,” he said, “the television screen was very small, as was the speaker. Because of this, the producers didn’t bother with composition or mise-en-scene and paid little attention to the music score. Today, though, the screens are much larger, the picture is better, and you can hook your television set up to speakers the size of a refrigerator. But television has refused to adapt. Their visual style is forty years out-of-date. Miami Vice is alluring and powerful because it uses modern techniques to present an ancient theme. I can’t wait to see the number of imitations i t will spawn.”

event,” Srivastava said CASC was “disappointed” that no specific sanctions were detailed.

“If we don’t know what the sanctions will be, we fear the event will happen again.”

Both Strangway and Meisen could not be reached for comment.

According to some engineering students, the undergraduates themselves have no say in the organization and continuation of the tradition.

“It is all up to EUS.” said one student who asked not to be iden- tified. “Once we vote them into office, they become like a government.”

Alfred Fischer, University of Vic- toria acting engineering dean, said the ride is in “bad taste”.

“It should never have been acceptable, and certainly not in 1986.” he said.

Fisher said the administration does not want UVIC engineers to

even think about holding a similar event.

Terry Hunt, Canadian Federa- tion of Students pacific region chair said the term “Peeping Tom” parade was accurately coined by CASC.

“Personally, I think it’s a sexist event,” he said.

absense of gravity, possibly leading to a method of separating different cell types.

On the ground solutions don’t completely separate because the lighter liquid floats on the heavier.

The medical profession currently uses chemotherapy and radiation to kill cancer cells, but this method also kills healthy cells, said Brooks. if doctors could separate the good cells from the bad, then they could kill only the bad cells and put the good ones back into the body, he added.

“But this is a very long way off, and would be only one of the many applications of the cell separation procedures,” said Brooks.

The explosion of the “Challenger has further delayed such a medical breakthrough. The experiment was scheduled to fly again in about six months, but this will not be possible with the N.A.S.A. slowdown, he said.

“The best they could do now is three-quarters as fast as the previous year, because they only have three of their four space shuttles left,” said Brooks.

The experiments started ten years ago when Brooks approached N.A.S.A. with his ideas.

“They were interested in experiments that would specifically be aided by performance in space,” he said, adding N.A.S.A. funded the project alone until three months ago, when Canada became involved.

It is illegal for N.A.S.A. to supp- ly funds to Canadian researchers, so most of the work is done by a small team at the Health Sciences University in Portland, Oregon, he said.

Brooks received his PhD from HSU and presently has an adjunct appointment there.

The only other Canadian who has worked on the project is Jim Van Alstine. He recently got his PhD in experimental pathology under Brooks and is now at work on the project in Huntsville, Alabama.

“Space science is not like doing regular science,” said Brooks. “It is very expensive, and slow to produce results. You have to have pretty special kinds of problems, other- wise they get solved in the interim.”

P E T E R B O R O U G H , O N T . (CUP)-Trent University students want to rename the- university’s Bata Library because of the Bata company’s investments in South Africa.

Six hundred students, out of 3,000 registered, signed a petition circulated by the South Africa Ac- tion Committee demanding the board of governors change the library’s name.

Besides supporting the apartheid regime in South Africa, Bata has considerable investments in other developing countries such as Chile and Indonesia.

Some want the library to be renamed the Stephen Biko Memorial Library to honour the black student activist who was kill- ed in a South African prison on Sept. 12, 1977.

Trent students should not increase the company’s profile by allowing the building to be named after company head Thomas Bata, said Richard Hamilton, a fourth year sociology student.

“We are fundamentally opposed to honoring a man with that kind of corporate profile,” Hamilton said.

The library was named after Bata because he organised a library fundraising campaign and donated large sums of money to the university. Bata now sits as an honourary member of Trent’s board of governors.

Susan Wheeler, Trent’s commun- ciations director, said the university is not able to reveal how much money Bata donated to the library.

The students’ petition is being considered by the social responsibility committee of the university senate. Student senator Chris Wig- gins said he expects opposition based on practical, not ideological, grounds.

A decision to change the name of the library must be approved by the senate and board of governors and be discussed by the appropriate committees of both bodies.

Should the board not act soon, the committee plans a boycott of the library, a candlelight vigil and civil disobedience, he said.

Basil Baker, secretary of Bata Limited, said he is surprised students do not understand how the company is actually helping end apartheid by working within South Africa.

“I’ve been associated with this organisation for 35 years and I’ve seen some amazing things this company has done. The company is doing the same in South Africa as they are doing in developing countries around the world,” Baker said.

Bata employs 3,200 black workers in its South African manufacturing plants but the workers at these plants make less than subsistence income, according to Canadians Concerned About

U of A students flunk writing test EDMONTON (CUP) - The

university informed fifteen university of Alberta students over the . Christmas holidays that their registrations have been cancelled because they did not write the Alberta Writing Competency Test.

Seven students wrote and passed last week, and then registered, but eight others are out of the university for good.

Five hundred-and-three U of A students registered in 1985 and ’84 who have written and flunked the test were in danger of expulsion from the school. The U of A senate decided to give them until April 1986 to pass the test.

Caroline Nevin, U of A student council vice-president, said the

council has no plans to intervene on the students’ behalf.

“If they wish to challenge it in court, we’d probably back them,” Nevin said.

Nevin said she has recommended some changes to the test to benefit students, and also said the senate should accept other proof of writing competence like a passing grade in a full English course or a pass on the Test of English as a Foreign Language, which international students have to pass before studying in Canada.

“The exam itself is stressful and detracts from most students’ performance. An English course is a better reflection of their abilities,” Nevin said.

Southern Africa, a Toronto lobby group.

CCASA member Joanne Nayman said Bata receives large grants from the South African government to locate there.

“It’s hardly a situation which Bata can turn around and try to change the system,” she said. “Bata is in there profitting from apartheid.”

The company has consistently refused to allow its workers to join unions. In 1982, Bata refused to meet with a textile union that had

name signed up hundreds of workers and fired those involved with organis- ing. Workers at the time made between 60 and 117 rand per month. Subsistence income at the time was 236 rand per month per average family.

But the student council, which has its office in the library, has not waited for official approval. The council’s address is listed in the Canadian Federation of Students’ national students council directory as the “Biko Library, Trent Univer- sity.”

Chickens fall from EDMONTON (CUP) - Two

University of Alberta agriculture students will appear in provincial court Feb. 20 in connection with the death of five chickens during the university’s engineering week.

Reginald Shandro and Earl Greenhogh were among five students who, acting independently of their faculty society tossed a bag of chicken feathers followed by live chickens off the second floor balcony in the student union building during a noon engineering week rally.

“They thought they would flutter down, but they fell like rocks,” said director of campus security Doug Langevin .

They thought the chickens would l k d safely because chickens are capable of flying short distances.

The chickens were bought from a local farmer. “We told him it was engineering week and that wewere going to use the chickens in a prank against them,” the students said. “He said he didn’t like engineers either.”

The chickens were “halfdead”, said engineering students’ society executive Dale Hildebrand. “Two of them couldn’t even lift their beaks off the ground.”

The engineering students running the event disposed of the chickens by wringing their necks and tossing them into a dumpster, Hildebrand said.

Greenhogh and Shandro are charged under section 402 of the Criminal Code with willfully caus- ing unnecessary pain, suffering or

injury to an animal or bird. The maximum penalty is a $500 fine or six months in jail.

“We didn’t want to hurt anybody or the chickens,” the two said. The stunt was organized “in order to maintain the ongoing rivalry between the aggies and engineers.” they said.

Physics 110 students are getting worse at physics - only 55 per cent of them passed the Christmas exam this year, compared with an average of 70 per cent in past years.

“The performance this year is not as good as in the last two years,” said physics department head D. Llewelyn Williams.

Williams said he was “not very happy with the sudden change in performance of a large number of students.”

“If it became a trend we’d start seriously worrying,” he said.

Betty Howard, who is in charge of Physics 110, said it was difficult to determine the cause of the decline.

“The students were not as well prepared perhaps,” she said. “Each year students have more trouble with elementary physics.”

Both Williams and Howard thought the poor showing could be due to the fact the exam was written on the last day of an intensive exam period.

Howard said declining performance is also a problem in first year math courses.


Alternative ride proposed I would like to make an in-

teresting proposal vis a vis the Lady Godiva issue. This proposal was suggested to me by an intelligent, independent lady friend. As with myself, she finds the Godiva issue rather inane. But she feels that if the women opposed to the Godiva ride want to do something signifi- cant, they should stage their own ride, with a naked male. I thought this was hilarious, but upon further contemplation, I figure she’s right.

Why don’t all the protestors get together, and go for it?

Don’t tell me that sexism, regardless of the gender, is wrong; therefore a male ride is not the in- tention behind the opposition. Just do it and note what kind of protest occurs from the male population. I doubt if there would be much, if any opposition from us. We can usually take a poke thrown at us, and come out laughing.

I know, I know what the next rebuttal is: women have been abus- ed and mistreated in our society since “Quest for Fire” times, the Godiva ride further symbolizes this abuse, and since men have not -been exploited as such, of course they’ll get a laugh out of a male ride, it’s no threat to their ego or dominance, directly or symbolically. Hell, that’s the way it should be! Neither ride

should be considered a threat to anything, and one should laugh, regardless of sex. There are more important and constructive issues that should be concentrated on. Take the ride, or rides for what they are, purely external fun and foolishness! But don’t ask me to get up on the horse . . . Hire a male stripper, that’s his job.

Summer students get reprieve OTTAWA (CUP) - The

Treasury Board came through with an 1 lth hour reprieve for university students last week, when it voted to allocate $7.5 million to ’ federal departments for summer student hiring. Last year the department got $10 million to hire students, but the budget had been eliminated in the announcement of student summer job creation programmes just before Christmas.

The government, now expects 3,600 students will work in federal ministries this summer, the same number as last year. And Career- Oriented Student Employment ap- plication forms for the programme,

are moving like hotcakes at the Canada Employment Centre on campuses across the country.

But the Canadian Federation of Students is worried the government might be juggling money to replace full-time employees with the summer students. Because of “person- year decontrol”, ministries are being encouraged to find extra money

the expense of others. A total of $30 million from employment and im- migration is going to Statistics Canada, providing StatsCan hires students to fill more than half of the 45,000 jobs available on the 1986 census.

“Traditionally the census is done by retired people or housewives,” said Sandra Kearns, public relations

officer at Employment and Im- migration. But now students will be given priority.

“Now we’re supposed to be glad, that we’re taking away jobs from other unemployed people,’’ said CFS chair Barb Donaldson.

There are other problems for students who want to work for the census. The training date at

Queen’s University in Kingston is April 11, right in the midd.le of Queen’s students’ exam period.

And most census jobs end half- way through the summer. “It’s completely criminal that students will take this $6,800 on census work and, having passed up other ,jobs, will find themselves out of work by mid-June.” Donaldson said.

Berger seeks solutions By KENNETH SALLITT

In 1971 the U.S. Congress passed the Native Land Claims Settlement Act. Forty-four million acres of Alaskan Territory and nearly a billion dollars was transferred to the native population in the form of shares of stock in village and regional corporations. In 1992 the stoclk goes public, the land can be taxed and the native peoples stand to lose control of it, and with it, their culture.

Village Journey By Thomas Berger New York: Hill and Wang, 1985

-

The Settlement Act has been an attempt by the U.S. government to bring the native peoples of Alaska into the mainstream of American life by forcing them to become corporate citizens and manage their land and its assets as a business ven- ture.. Few of the corporations have made money, many have been en- mired in litigation and poor investments, some are bankrupt. Often the beneficiaries of the native

corporat ions are non-nat ive employees, advisors and lawyers. The collaboration of the corporations with oil concerns has raised the poss ib i l i ty tha t se l f - determination may be compromised by the politics of oil.

Thomas Berger, who is professor of law at UBC has become something of a hero in the north. Between 1974-1977 he headed the enquiry that recommended a moratorium on the shipment of gas by pipeline down the Mackenzie valley. This study provided many of the models for land-use and occupancy studies across the north. In 1979 he headed a commission which looked into Indian and Inuit health care.

In 1983 Berger was commissioned by the Inuit Circumpolar Con- f e rence t o hea r t e s t imony throughout Alaska on the effects of the Settlement Act. “Village Journey” is a presentation of some of the testimony and Berger’s analysis of the dilemmas facing the Inuit, Aleut and Indians of Alaska apd indigenous peoples in general:

enforced assimilation into colonial society, the imposition of alien mores and the replacement of hun- ting, fishing and gathering subsistence systems by artificial economies.

Berger has perceptively inter- preted the concerns and priorities of the native peoples, particularly those in the outlying areas, hence the title of the book. He has also clearly documented how the settlement act once hailed as enlightened legislation, has provided the

.framework for what might be the greatest misappropriation of land in history.

His recommendations support native self-determination, a radical reassessment of the concepts of land and natural resource owner- ship and the establishment of tribal governments to replace the corporations in the administration of land and stock. While Berger himself has no legislative power in Alaska, his recommendations may influence Congress to forestall a clearly preventable tragedy.

feeding the machine twenty cents each day for the 122 regular days of school. Two dimes, not likely. We can expect to pay a quarter, which raises the fee to $30. But currently -we can park in B-lot all year for $24, that means at twenty cents the fee becomes $73, a 67% increase, unless of course we pay seven cents a day.

Cost aside, what about the reasoning the new parking system will reduce congestion in the morn- ings? Well what about the new line ups caused by people fumbling for change, caught without quarters, waiting to be let out at 4:30 or 5:00? This system is currently in use at Douglas College, where it has prov- ed to be anything but a traffic mover. As for the gate closing when B-lot is full, what about the person who discovers that there are no spaces wide enough, or that another car has taken up two spaces? Remember how people packed at Christmas?

How can the board of governors feel justified in spending $lOO,OOO on a system that will be more a hindrance than an asset. A $lOO,OOO that could be used to hire much needed T.A.s, or used for loans, bursaries and scholarships.

(Self-respecting men and women, Jan. 21) were taken completely out of context and represented to mean something quite different from what they were intended to. Maybe these women have an axe to grind and deliberate- ly misrepresented my comments; more likely they simply did not understand what I meant.

What I have to say to them is this. Maybe you four do not feel that your feelings or opinions have ever been repressed: many people feel that way. Many others, men and women both, do not (and not only in engineering). Yes, I have met some of the female engineering

students at UBC. And I have heard some of them complain that they feel threatened, afraid to express their feelings for fear of ridicule and ostracism. If you four have never felt this way, more power to you. Maybe you were sufficiently well conditioned as children that you have never felt any need to say or do things that would make men (or women) who have stereotyped ideas about how women should behave feel threatened. Or maybe you just don’t give a damn. But accept that some people feel differently from you: from the hostile tone of your letter I suspect that this is something that you find rather difficult.

B-lot has seen a lot of im- provements recently, new lights are going up, the dusty gravel was pav- ed over and lines were painted, albeit the parking spaces are a tad too narrow. B-lot is still a bargain even at $30.00, but not at $91.25 (one year at 25 cents).

The best thing to do, and the cheapest, would be to scrap the whole project. A few dollars lost is better than $1OO,OOO wasted. If this is not feasible to the board of governors, the least they could do would be to issue magnetic strip keys to each user. Each key would plug into the gate machine to allow passage, either in or out for regular users, occasional users could still pay by change.

Esperanto Increasingly the business com-

munity needs people trained in foreign languages in order to effec- tively compete in the international marketplace, in countries such as Germany, Japan and China where, for all their good will towards English, people know that it is the buyers who determine the condi- tions. Suppliers who serve in the language of the consumers have the best chance for making a sale. As Germany and Japan have become economic powers in their own right, English, as the language of the U.S., has lost its monopoly as the international language of business.

Learning a foreign language, however, is easier said than done, because learning a language to any reasonable degree of fluency means learning a different variant of a system so intrinsic to our lives that it seems almost as “natural” as walking. Thus, high motivation is required.

Most students surely do not study foreign languages at UBC for love of foreign cultures so it is important to give the students a feeling that learning the foreign language is a pleasurable experience, while teaching important grammatical concepts so that students end up speaking the language in a socially acceptable way.

One way of easing students into a foreign language is by first presenting to them concisely a language whose grammatical constructs are very clear and which is related both to the learner’s own language and to the “target” language. For cen- turies Latin was used to introduce speakers of English to other languages, but there are a number of problems with using Latin as an introductory language.

Firstly, its large system of con- jugations and declensions is bulky

We’re talking about Canadian phones and the fallacy of private phone calls.

The Law Reform Commission of Canada said yesterday police wiretaps are 20 times as common in Canada as they are in the United States.

At the same time deputy prime minister Erid Neilsen has admitted to listening to closed Liberal caucus meetings during the Diefenbaker years. Is nothing sacred?

We have to wonder about trust in our supposedly free society when the police, who are charged with protecting citizens, clandestinely eavesdrop on them instead.

They are noted for their broad definition of what is a threat to society, often including disarmament and social reform organizations in their “hit lists.”

So, if the official opposition was spied upon by man now our unofficial prime minister, how can any member of the university community involved in political agitation, however benign, assume their activities are private from a judicially approved police surveillance operation.

They can’t, and neithercan any other Canadian. This is a sad comment on our society. The government and the judicial system should interfere with our right to communicate privately only under the most grave cir- cumstances, and certainly not as often as they do now.

course offered at SFU and very irregular, which tends to overwhelm the English speaker rather than give him/her a pleasurable introduction to foreign language and secondly, the community of fluent speakers of Latin is so small that there is little point in the student making the great effort to reach fluency in Latin.

In recent years, however, innovative educators in countries as diverse as Germany, Yugoslavia, Brazil and China have been trying another “introductory” language, Esperanto, with great success. Esperanto presents its grammatical concepts clearly and without excep- tion and its word stock is related not only to languages such as English, French and Spanish but also to German and Russian.

Thanks to its regularity it is relatively easy to learn, which means that, with proper study, students can learn to use it for conversation, letter-writing and reading in much shorter time than would be necessary to reach the same level in

another language. This means: a) the student quick- ’

ly sees that learning a foreign language need not be hard (and this positive attitude will greatly ease the learning of another foreign language) and b) many people (with diverse interests) already speak it fluently, so that it is worthwhile continuing the study of Esperanto to communicate in the community of Esperanto-speakers (Esperan- tists).

The Esperantists of UBC would like to share the opportunity to learn Esperanto with others and are therefore, in cooperation with the SFU Esperanto Club, sponsoring an intensive course designed to give learners a basic competence in Esperanto. This course will be held at SFU on the weekend of Feb. 1 & 2 (9 a.m.-4 p.m. both days). Details are available from the Esperanto Information Centre, tel. 298-6019.

Wednesday will turn out to be day that some people will remember the rest of their lives, and will always remember where they were when they first heard the news. I don’t know about you, but I felt that way. That explosion meant a lot more to me than seven lives or the destruction of a billion dollar piece of technology. I wonder why . . .

I spent my first hours that morning watching the television footage, trying to find some sense in that minute and a half. Time after time I heard the words of the tower, heard the shuttle commander respond, then watched those tiny flames creep up the hul l .

following, but the whole thing makes some kind of sense if you believe that mankind was not meant to leave earth. If we are being presumptuous, and some God or Gods disapprove of what we are doing, what better way of showing it? Those films of the disaster show an annihilation that was so swift and so complete that one can almost im- agine a divine hand of retribution closing about the shuttle.

Even if such is not the case, the shuttle launches to which we had grown so accustomed are not perfect. While I knew that technology could not be failure- proof, 1 subconsciously believed that nothing could go wrong with the shuttle. It may have been foolish, but I believed in the shuttle and in technology. The atomic bomb must have caused similar feelings to those alive in 1945. But all I know is that the explosion of the shuttle brought an end to an ultimate belief in science.

Other shuttles will leave our planet, and technology will rise to new heights and accomplishments. I do believe that humanity’s destiny transcends one very small planet, and that our accomplishments will number more than destruction and hatred. But the failure of the shuttle makes that a little harder to believe than before. Apollo 11 left a message on the moon that stands as the highest ideal that we can aspire to. “We came in peace for all mankind.” Challenger hasn’t changed that ideal, it has just made it more difficult to reach. And maybe that’s the biggest tragedy of the episode. Maybe that’s why I want to go out and hit something . . .

Parking numbers I am writing with regard to your

recent article on B-lot parkjng fees in the Tues., Jan. 21 issue. Fmt, the current parking fee is $32 px year, not the $24 stated in the artide. The $24 was the cost last year, thlls there was a 33% increase in the last year.

Secondly, the estimate of future cost, $24 is grossly understated. Some of the coin boxes to control the B-lot gates have been installed. The coin boxes have spaces to insert 2 quarters. Thus the cost will be either 25c or 5Oc per day,

A typical undergraduate using B-lot 150 days per year will pay $37.50 or $75 for the privilege. A graduate student who uses B-lot 300 days per year will pay $75 or $150. Therefore, the suggestion in your article that "students who park on a regular basis will spend approx- imately $24 during the school year," is a gross understatement of the true cost. At 25c per day undergraduates will be facing an 180% increase next year, and graduate students will be faced with up to 234% increase.

The statement that parking fees have yet to be decided kpon is patently false. The action 'If con- trolling parking through coin operated gates dictates that the charge will be either 25c or 5Oc per day, with the 5Oc being unlikely. I hope!
