THEATRE SEASON SET TO KICK OFF The first production of 1984 for the David Thompson University Centre theatre department is Bertolt Brecht's classic theatre parable The Good Person of Setzvan, with Valerie Laub playing the dual role of the loving Shen Teh and the ruthless alter personality of Shui-Ta. The play opens at 8 p.m. Jan. 27 in Studio 80 on the Nelson campus, and will continue under Jane Heyman's direction until Feb. 1. “The good person of the play's title is a generous, loving mother who gives unsparingly of her time to her child and her thbors,” said theatre department instructor Tell SI ‘ “For her, virtue is the natural way; she doesn't want to be good, she simply is good. But in order to sustain herself and her child she is forced to adopt an alter personality — a ruthless, cold, efficient business person. “Yet they aré one and the same. For the good one to live, the evil one must live also. Brecht asks us to consider if it is possible for anyone, anywhere to practice a life of evil.” ‘The Good Person of Setauan is Brecht’s most popular play. It was completed in 1941 while he was exiled in Finland from his native Germany then in the throes of war, a Bi Saedherate thak rte _ ‘FE was first performed in Switzerland by whieh time Brecht and his actress wife. Helene Weigel were in America. Brecht finally saw it produced in’Frankfurt in 1952, four years before his death. “The modern master of what he came to call ‘epic theatre,’ Brecht single-handedly led the last great revolution in our theatre,” said Schreiber. “Audiences ought not to be encouraged to sympathize with the characters on stage, rather they should understand the of the ch " plights and consider the moral effect upon their own lives. “Hamlet, for Brecht, would have been an even greater play had it helped us better understand feelings of inadequacy, and not simply be overwhelmed with sympathy for Hamlet,” he said. A unique feature of this production will be the use of face masks created by visual arts faculty member Seja Stevenson and student Jacquie Reed, and original music composed by DTUC music stud under the guid: of goodness when survival depends upon a willingness to be | faculty member Bruce Davis and played by an orchestra made up of faculty and TION . .

Ministry tf Bduestion ebnotinsed DTUC, operated since 1979 jointly by the U it Victoria and Castlegar’s Selkirk College, would affect 60 DTUC Director Dr. Richard Pearce was quick to point out that about 500 students would be affected, as well as 100 full- and part-time employees, First-year DTUC student Linda James, 31, came to Nelson from Vancouver Island with a daughter to attend ! financi losses are the facility ef- the cOnimunity advisory committee NDP leader Dave Barrett both came out in favor the centre: Ina Jan. 17 letter to Jack Colbert, Selkirk College board chairmin, and to Howard Petch, University of Vietoria advisory served notice that it opposes the decision to close DTUC. 4 “We protest the decision to close this centre ‘from an DTUC’s unique School of Writing. Her decision to attend DTUC meant leaving behind an older daughter with James’ ex-husband. Formerly she was able to visit her other daughter each day. But James felt it worthwhile to come to DTUC as the writing program allows her to combine both practical and creative writing skills. She said she thus can earn money thorugh freelancing while attending school. James, who has a degree in social work, said she felt a job as a social worker last year in order to escape “gov- ernment bureaucracy “Now here I am stuck in the middle of more govern- ment bureaucracy. This area is an NDP pocket and the government is just making us suffer with this political decision to shut down DTUC.” James said she plans to fight to keep DTUC open. “] put a really big investment into coming here and I am really angry about the closure. I gave up a lot and it cost me a lot to move here. I can't afford now to move home. And there is nowhere else in the province or the country that I can get the second year of this two-year program.” Rick Gomez, 42, is head of DTUC’s visual arts department. He is another person committed to fighting the government's decision. He, too, is faced by problems of relocation and unemployment. Gomez gave up a job at the University of Regina three years ago to come to Nelson. Now, he said, he is forced to “pull up roots and try to sell a house on a market that’s already flooded in an area of high unemployment.” Gomes said he came to DTUC eager to work at an interdisciplinary studies. that is i in “In other universities this is almost impossible,” he said. Gomez pointed out that in September 1983 B.C. Education Minister Jack Heinrich and B.C. Universities Minister Pat McGeer confirmed that DTUC would con- of the tinue, of a positive facility's first four years of operation. “Now, three months later, it's a no-go,” Gomez said. “This is a gross mistake. DTUC is in the proc Oe growing. To say at this point that it's a failure is silly.” NDP stands up for DTUC Proposed closure of David Thompson University Centre won't be taken lying down by logal members of the New Democratic Party. While NDP MP Lyle Kris- tiansen sends telexes to the premier and cabinet minis- ters, the local NDP organ- ization is preparing on emer- gency resolution to be pre- sented to its upcoming lead- ership convention. Meeting in Nelson last Sunday, the Nelson-Creston NDP riding association de- cided it will ask the May convention to renew the party pledge for a full four-year university in tht city. Still in effect since 1977 when the Social Credit gov- ernment ended Notre Dame University, the NDP party policy. pledges, “. . . the es- tablishment of an autono- mous four-year Interior uni- versity at Nelson, and that this public Interior univer- sity be provided with an an- nual-and continuous funding of not less than $5 million.” Also at its Jan. 15 meeting, the NDP executive declared that it will co-ordinate with the DTUC Action Committee in fighting the closure, and further will call on all dele- gates to the NDP provincial council to support continu- ation of DTUC. In Ottawa, meanwhile, MP Lyle Kristiansen telexed Premier Bill Bennett and ministers Jaek Heinrich and Pat McGeer, calling on them to keep previous commit- ments to DTUC and to the people of Nelson. “Your decision betrays their trust and their sacri- fices, and deals a serious and totally unwarranted blow not only to the students, faculty, staff and administration of the centre, but to the very heart of the entire city of Nelson and to the West Kootenay region,” Kristian- sen said in his message. “The decision not only flies in the face of recent (Sept. 21/83) written assurances, by your ministers Heinrich and McGeer, but puts the lie to the assurances of good faith given by yourself and. Mr, McGeer during your June 1/77 visit to the city of Nel- son.” lained Jim Crawford, eommi- ttee chairman. “Nowhere in the Interior’ can students acquire degrees, diplomas and certificates in the Fine and Performing Arts and Education.” He said “destroying” the centre will remove access to the programs by local, regional and Interior students. Crawford said the committee is “appalled. and profoundly shocked” by the closure. He pointed out that the DTUC operating budget “is just over one percent of the allocation made to the Universities Council for University Programs” for B.C. “Surely this is not an unreasonable request,” he said. Crawford added in the letter that the closure ‘simply shows that the government's message to the West Kootenay and the Interior is clear: “We are second-class citizens.” The letter closed by recommending that the Selkirk College board and University of Victoria continue programs at DTUC and fight for the preservation of the centre. Thursday, Barrett announced that the NDP will “work to re-establish the David Thompson University Centre.” Barrett said in a prepared release that party policy and the NDP caucus are behing the DTUC “as an important contribution to our education system and our citizens in the Interior.” j "We are elated,” said Gary Shaw. “It is an indication the board's primary concern is for the students. “By passing the motion requesting the government its decision to close DTUC, the board has helped boost students’ morale which has suffered since the decision to shut down the centre. “On behalf of the student society, we are grateful to the _ board for tackling a very difficult issue in an open forum 80 that’ all views could be aired epenly, and for making a courageous decision in support of DTUC.” Selkirk offers 90 courses Courses ranging from trades and business to health and general interest, credit and non-credit courses are among the many offernings available this winter through Continuing Education at Sel kirk College in Castlegar. More than 90 courses cov ering subjects such as com. puters, languages, typing, women’s programs, career planning and mine manage- ment are included in the academic courses in A ue He pledged that an NDP government would lish a university campus at Nelson “because our, people in the Interior should have the same opportunity of pursuing their education without the cost and disruption of moving to an urban centre in every case.” Barrett charged that the government's “obsession” for centralizing and cutting back “people setvices” now seems to be aimed at wiping out the relatively small rural campuses in "Finally, the president of DTUC'’s student society praised the decision by the college board to ask the government to reverse its decision to close the centre ata Tuesday open meeting.
