; '", ahorna" ,ale irk their
'final week ofpreparation for
three nights entertaining.
Thie lovely musical, has
plenty of •'down h.gine
country" talent throughout
1i:it.
As the ,pressure mounts,
everyone is doing his best at
the practices. The music and
singing sounds beautiful as
the " • characters rehearse
famous, songs stick as, Oh,
What A Beautiful Mornin
and The Surrey With the
Fringe on Top. There are
also special talents demon-
strated in 'tap-dancing and
ballot. r
The ehiaractere are coming
alive in these hard-working,
diami-lqving students, even
though butterflies are be-
coming an epidemic.
This play, full of romance,
music and comedy, is, sure to
be enjoyed; by all because the
students, after many months
of practice, are ready to per-
form their best.:.

In My Opinion
Vietnamese refugees
By Aileen Underwood
Is Canada being invaded
by a plague of freeloaders
who will in the future infest
our society, fill jobs that
should have been mine, and
burp gas that should have
been in mycar?
As more and more Viet-
namese continue to find re-
fuge in' the stream of
Canadian existence, several
Canadians, feeling threaten-
ed, have echoed this ques-
tion. Are we being fair to
ourselves? What impact will
this course of action have on
our future? Doesn't our

BOOK REVIEW
CHATEAU d'ARMOUR
By Rebecca Wratten
This book is ,a Harlequin
Romance, but it isone of the
best - in my opinion. It is
about a journalist, Jesa-
mine, who fell inlove with
the grandson of the man she
was interviewing. The
setting was in France.
Jesamine was supposed to
write a story on anold family
of nobility. It -took her the
duration of the book to figure
out her feelings for Paul,
who wag -handsome with eyes
that gave her butterflies

every time she was cauent in
hisgaze.
He "thiriks'she' is meddling,
after ' catching her in his
mother's tomb (the only way
into the tomb was through a
secret passageway). Jesa-
mine happens to be out for a
walk in the gardens and once
more comes across the little
chapel where Paul's mother
is buried. Of course Paul also
happens to be out for a walk,
so J,esamine has to hide in
the passageway. This time
she has no light and is forced
to stumble along in the dark-
ness. She ends up falling into
Paul's bedroom.
Meanwhile he has re-
turned to find her crying in
his room. He won't let her
leave until he has kissed her.
But then her jealous partner,
Jerry, comes looking for her.
Paul accuses her of using
him and they break up, but
fate brings them back to-
gether. In the end Paul
marries her.
I would suggest not
reading the book, even

cause this review is pretty

THE VEILS
Their heads are bent•low
As they anproach the shelter:,

to the snow heavens
Not one cheek welcomes
the wet cleansing.
There is always a hood
to cover the tight curls.
To shield the black lashes,
and unnaturally pink cheeks.
Ara, they afraid
the snow will melt away
Their carefully -made masks
to reveal a face
Cleansed from the poison,
beautifully plain,
And oh, so honest?

country have enough .prob-
lems as is?
For so many, the • number
one argument in all of this is
"us" our future, our lives,
our country. Sitting' on our
free and comforting oasis ''in
a worldbf upset aridturnioil;
it has become so easy just to
vainly sit and deny the exis-
tence of . millions of starving
people across the Pacific.
Still, to others, questions
involving our welfare never
enter the mind, but rather
questions , of " the refugees'
welfare.: Culture shock, cli-
matic shock, Canada shock
— can the newcomers take
it? In supporting their
migration -to Canada would
we actually be setting in
motion a whole new down-
ward destiny? And really,
when we consider the
millions of starving refugees
in crowded camps through-
out south-east _ Asia, would
• the freeing of 'one family be
anything more than a drop in
the bucket?
What if you were a
member of that "one
family" facing the stark
reality that you cannot
migrate to Canada because
you have been labelled "just
a drop in the bucket"? The
thought is frightening.
The subject of the validity
of sponsoring refugee
families in Canada is long,
emotional and complex. I
could (and have upon occa-
sion) talked for hours about
the subject.
Strange — I always end up
in the same place. Always I
find myself surveying one of
the starkest contrasts I have
ever known. I see myself, a
typical Canadian youth
surrounded by my taken -for -
granted world of freedom,
comfort and identity, know-
ing that tomorrow I can still
go home, watch TV, ride my
horse and, if I choose, pre-
tend my island is all that
exists.
And beside this pastel
blend of my life I see un-
counted, nameless faces,_
standing in line, hands out-
stretched waiting for daily
ration's. I see a mother cry-
ing ,because her son has
simply disappeared. I see
faces that have forgotten
how to smile, minds that
have forgotten how to live,
but simply to exist — if that.
And suddenly, I cease to seek
answers; finally as i look
once more to this forgotten
picture of reality, I can at
last realize there never were
any questions.

A LONELY EXPEDITION
A cold and windy night
Creates an illusion of fright,
No more the sparkling sun
To remind one of past fun.
The chill and fes r of an un-

Will never posses a humorous

Beneath the depths of a dark

No one would find the strength
to remain.
