Page 2 Planet of the Arts Planet of the Arts presents The Cheap Issue. A highly original idea, we’ ve decided to compile the best post-Expo- depression deals for student-type incomes. We’ ve had a lot of value-for-your-money help in fact-finding for all the latest in cheap eats, treats, tricks, flicks, and thrills (check your nearest centre-spread for details). Also, we ran into a bargain-basement rock-bottom cheaper-by-the-dozen deal on hyphens and have decided, in these tough-economic-times to use-’em-up. Cheap — and we’ll stake our reputations on it. News is that Richard Weigand(hip N.Y.C. art director) is going to be here on March 10th to help out with the Planet, so get your articles and graphics in right away. Further, melt-down at the Editorial Core has left us with one Editor less. Ian has decided to spend more time on his work — artistic and otherwise. Dry those tears though, Ian has promised to remain as a regular contributor, so still you’ll get your fair share of Verchére. e = AAS Dear Editors: Re: The de-inventoried A.V. equipment being thrown into the Smithrite (Thursday, Jan. 29). [ am currently researching the whole matter to see what can be done to prevent such things from happening in the future. It is my opinion that any items from any department which are being thrown out should first be offered to students. Any help in gathering information would be greatly appreciated. Shon Franks S.S. Secretary The Editors Editors Note: We would liked to apologize to Agustin Luviano Cardero for the accidental re-arranging of his article The Music is Too Loud in the January issue. Theatre Proposal Dear Editors, Here is a proposal for the Emily Carr College of Art and Design Theatre Club. I would like to see a noon-hour society in which students and staff could enjoy play readings, acting demonstrations, and informal theatrical presentations. Some areas of interest could include puppet theatre, street theatre, opera, modern and ancient theatre, international folk theatre. Visitors from all or any of these areas could give short presentations and lead discussions for the enjoyment and edification of the whole College community. Club members could, for example, present a radio play, getting some professional advice from C.B.C. radio technicians. We could have a presentation on Punch and Judy shows, for instance, and could even mount one. Theatre relates to all our studies and interests and this sort of club could provide a useful adjunct to curriculum as well as being just plain fun for all participants. What do you think? Come to Room 260 at 12:15 PM, Tuesday, March 3 to help plan a schedule for the next three months. Hugh Foulds Dear Editors, The question of censorship is always a tough one, especially when art is censored. There are extremists, though, who would say porno flicks are an art form in their own right. A few weeks ago I went to a stag party (and you all thought this was a extinct ritual) to make some extra money, bar-tending. The stag was true art~heavy- smoking, beer-drinking, card-playing male specimens. They could not afford a stripper so they had a video monitor going with porno flicks. Interesting titles like “Barbie and the Zulu Tribe” ,““Never Satiated” and “Abuse Me I’m Yours” abounded. I was bored since most of the guys grabbed their own beers and very few drank liquor (“No thanks, I’m driving”). After watching about five minutes of Barbie “enjoying” an African tribe I got even more bored. It was all the same. Being the devilish imp I’ve always been, I went over and pressed the fast-forward button. Suddenly Barbie and the Zulu men became these oversexed hamsters. Actions speeded up looked so ridiculous. It demonostrated how boring sex on these videos really is. At first the men thought it was quite funny but then they told me to stop it because it was sick. Comments like “Who got these stupid videos anyway” and “God, that makes sex look pathetic” echoed throughout the room. As the night progressed, Zen contemplations developed. Some vowed celibacy while others vowed never to waste their money on porno flicks. I wonder what would have happened had I played the video in reverse. There are ways to change minds (or to control hormones) without censorship. Jerry Stochansky Foundation To: ECCAD Students who assisted in distributing Faculty Evaluation questionnaires during the Fall Semester 1986. We would like to express our appreciation for the valuable assistance provided by students selected by instructors, or who volunteered their time, to assist in the distribution of Faculty Evaluation Student Questionnaires during the last week of November 1986. The conscientious way in which these questionnaires were handled was most appreciated and enabled this procedure to be completed with the least disruption to classes possible. When it becomes necessary to conduct evaluations for some instructors during the spring semester it is our hope that students will once again assist us.
