of Argentina in the Falkland
Island dispute. She has also
ignored the US pipeline

sanctions against the USSR.

The fact is that there are
more men in positions of
power than there are women,
so when the question of
national security and
national self-interest arise,
you are as likely to see the
women in power inviting
each other over for tea as you
are to see Reagan and

’ Breshnev resolving their
problems over a beer.

It is human nature to be
aggressive and to protect, at
all costs, what is yours. It is
human nature, not only men.

Imperialism’ with the defeat

If women want to be treated

as equal then they dare not
arrogantly rise above the fact
that they too are aggressive
and can make mistakes.

I have seen some pretty
aggressive women in my
time and this ‘pushiness’
would not dissappear if they
were put into power. They
would fight for what was
theirs, just as men do. War
is a reality, and women are

no more capable than men of _

reducing the armed conflict
in this world.

The concepts of interna-
tional relations, diplomacy,
and conflict are too complex
for even the best leader or
political scientist to fully
comprehend; whether they

“Brian Pharez

be male or female. on

If women think that they
could do any better in run-
ning this world than men, I
have to throw my head back
and laugh. They’re living in
the most illustrious fool’s
paradise.

Lottery Tickets

I was shocked when I read
in your paper that the Stu-
dent Society of Douglas Col-
lege is planning to sell
lottery tickets. I believe that
the sale of lottery tickets is
politically incorrect, being a
form of taxation, and I feel
that it is stealing from the
poorest of the poor: stu-
dents. The chances of win-
ning a lottery are so low, you
could spend a million before
winning it. I also believe that
students should not have
lottery tickets endorced by
their student society; shoved
in their faces as if it were
some alternative to the econ-
omic hardships they are now
facing. With money in short
supply, students should be
encouraged to spend their
money wisely, rather than on
something as frivolous as
lottery tickets.

kVanted: a well-educated

no criminal record.

This attractive advertise-
ment appeared recently in
the Province. Many ‘well-
educated travel-hungry
students answered, cons-
tantly ringing the phone
of an unidentified resthome.

There, a woman employee
cruelly burst the hopes of
any unemployed caller.
‘Forget it, it just forget it!”’
she chuckled. A psychiatric
patient with apparent del-
usions of grandeur had sub-
mitted the ad. Highly learn-
ed, dejected students prob-
ably satisfied themselves

WITH THIS ANSWER.

A call some days later met
with a more secretive but
apologetic response. Anot-
her unidentified female
answered this time; she was

was a mistake. Yes, it

had been submitted by a
mental patient. “‘Alot of

say that it was n

Financial Aid

The Financial Aid Office
has seen a 40per cent in-
crease in applications for
student aid this fall. Because
we are having trouble keep-
ing up with the volume of
applications, we will be clos-
ing the office one morning
per week in order that we can
devote the time solely to
processing assistance appli-
cations. Our new hours are
as follows:

Monday, Tuesday, Wed-
nesday, Friday 8:30-4:40.

Thursday 1:00-4:30.

Student Services Clerks in
the Counselling Centre will
be available to take mes-
sages and answer quick
questions for Financial Aid
during those times that the
office is closed. In addition
we will be open one evening
per week which will vary so
that we can accomodate stu-
dents who have regular eve-
ning classes. The Financial
Aid Officer is also available,
by appointment only, on the
Winslow Campus on Wed-
nesdays.

For information on eve-
ning appointments, or to
book appointments, call 521-
4851, local 282.:
