What caused the massive upturn in interest and support? Organ- izers attributed it to an up- swing in awareness on the part of the general public on the consequences of the arms race. The massive demonstrat- ions in Europe during the aut- umn and fall of 1981 seemed to be the sparf that set Vanc- ouver aflame. Their high pro- file in the media seemed break many peoples complacency. 30,000 people walked for peace last April. At this years march, to be held April 23, the . End the Arms Race Commit- tee hopes to beat that figure. Judging by the increasing lev- el of popular resistance to the arms esculation in Washing- ton and Moscow, this will pro- bably not be difficult. Between now and April 23, the group plans a number of fund raising activities. Tenat- ively scheduled for mid-March is a seawall run. This would be a competitive event with an entry fee and prizes. A numb- er of film showings, dances, and concerts are also in the works, though not much bey- ond the planning stage.

Stujf | To Prove You Are Equal MONTREAL (CUP) **Some- times I want to strangle mt teachers.’’ that succinct com- ment comes a Dawson College science student who says that woman studying in a tradit- ionally male-dominated area still face attitudinal problems, including those of their instr- uctors. Judy, a pure and applied science student, said many male teachers constantly refer to men in the class for an- swers and don’t recognize women when they want to talk. It’s really frustrating when you know the answer and you know you're not going to be called on for it,’’ she said. Men who make sexist jokes about women claim they are — all in good fun and don’t mean anything, she added. But ‘‘I can’t understand why men ex- pect me to take their jokes in stride. Why dol have to change?”’ She said people rarely claim that jokes about blacks or Jews don’t mean anything, but women are expected to laugh off exploitive jokes. Lisa, a medical technology student at Dawson, said attit- udes are improving among younger students, and several women in pure and applied science programs agreed more of the problems came from older students and teachers. ‘I definitely think the mec- hanical tech. department is getting better,’’ said Lisa. “First-year students are a lot. more level-headed. They’re here to become technicians.’’ But she said the job market is another story. When she applied for a job working underground at Bom- bardier, which makes trains for Montreal’s subway sys- tem, she did not write her full name to avoid discrimination. “Even before I opened my mouth, the interveiwer said ‘we can’t hire you because we have no women’s washrooms.’ But Lisa does not support feminism. ‘‘The better way is to prove that you are equal and little by little they’ ll change.”’ Parking Woes by Vic Cromarty _ It seems that there is still not a single reserved space for handicapped parking Despite the high ideals that have been spoken lately with regard to our college’s access- ability to this very important minority, nothing has been done.

Hours 4 P.M. - 12 Midnight even Days a Week 522-8010 Since the beginning of this semester the maximum park- ing fee has risen to a dollar and a half, twice the original. rate. According to West Gray- don, Dizector of the Physical Plant and Services at Douglas College, the new rate has been ‘set even before the new build- — ing was opened. Said Gray- don, ‘‘The seventy-five cent maximum, and the period of free parking during the tran- sition between buildings was really a favor to the students. As we didn’t have all the ma- chinery and parking services operational until the begin- ning of this semester, we felt that the reduced rate was the proper thing to have.”’ As far as the rest of the semester is concerned, the fol- lowing rates willapply to the facility: From 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. $0.50 an hour to a daily max- imum of $1.50 ; From 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. A flat charge of $0:00 applies reguardless of time parked past two hours Parking passes are also av- ailable for twelve dollars a month.
