However, unless I was deliberately misled by industry spokesmen, most foam cups made in ‘Canada today (no information on cups imported from UCS,, like the Dart line...) are in faet not blown with CFC's. Cups to watch out for are the. ‘thinner, almost translucent foam eups usually decorated in ugly colours, and often found at places like MeDonalds, and other criminal establishments However, just because these cups (2 “safe” kinds are Lily's Trophy line, and the Canada Cup line) are ozone-friendly, doesn’t mean microbes like ‘em. Best to go with Mr. Barth’s suggestion and bring your own cup. Incidently, paper cups, while in theory bio- degradable, have been found over a decade after their disposal, perfectly preserved in the depth of a land. (Coffee's bad for you anyway.

Literature Correction Department Dear Planet, In response to Sandra Lockwood's report on. the Writer’s Festival held this past fall, I would like to make a correction. Psychic or What?! bpNichol, who was paid tribute to on the last day of the Festival, did not die “last year” aa stated in the article. He died on September 25, 1988, five days short of his 44th birthday. Given the fact that he is probably the greatest, poot this country has ever known, I would have hhoped that more care would have been taken in acknowledging his death. yours truly, Zoya Niechoda ‘Mr. Picasso wishes to channel a response through Madame Avanti to Mme.

Tn addition, we ask that you seriously consider making this course, with Ms, Diamond as Instructor, a regular offering in the College's curriculum. We make these requests for the following reasons: 1. We would like the course to be offered this ‘Spring as.a continuation ofthe Fall course for reasons of continuity, and because, having covered the necessary groundwork, ie. Intro, we are now ‘prepared to deal with more complex isues in more etal 2, With Landon MacKenzie on leave this Spring, there may be no offering, in terms of a course on feminist perspectives. Both Ms. Diamond's and Ms. MacKenzie’ classes wore fll this Fall Term, indicating a strong demand for these courses. '3._ Approximately 10% of the College's student body are women and we feel a permanent ‘women's studies course is appropriate asi is deemed so in other higher educational institutions, og. Simon Frasor University 4. The work of feminist theoreticians working in the areas of psychoanalytic theory, critical theory and postmodernist theory (to name a few) is on the vanguard in terms of redefining and changing our ways of seeing. It is frustrating and hhard work to inform oneself about these issues by ‘oneself, 0. knowing where to start, what's available, what’s important and whats not important to read. Therefore, we feel extremely fortunate in having someone of Sara Diamond's stature and intelligence as our instructor. Mi Diamond is both aetive and respected for her work on a national and international level, and we feel she would be a definite asset to the College ‘We can't emphasize strongly enough our wanting your postive consideration in the renewal and continuation of Ms. Diamond's contract. We feel this course isan important and erucial area of endeavour for all artists. ‘Thank you for your time and consideration.
