Wright is going, her typewriter will one day be a collector's item. Her first novel, Neighbours, earned a literary prize in Alberta. Her second, The Favorite, won critical praise, particularly in the United States. But her third fictional accomplishment, 30 months in the making, betters anything the Burnaby, B.C. novelist has written before. Among Friends is a sensitive, quiet study of three women living in Calgary whose wanderings are slow, insular and often tormented. Leona is a 33-year-old reporter and assignment editor with a daily newspaper. She lives alone in an apartment that gives little comfort. He days consist of clockwork movement back and forth to her job, her pleasures of scotch and cigarettes, her thoughts of an hi IGNORED BY CHILD Emily is 60, employed by what she considers to be a somewhat shoddy weekly ne . She, too, lives alone, a widow ignored by her only ehild. When she is laid off she keeps the news to herself and spends days writing letters that are seldom completed. _ Marion, 37, is Emily's niece. At the start of the book, she is an employee of the newspaper where Leona works. But she soon quits her job, impulsively buys a house and decides to make a living writing freelance articles. On the surface, Marion appears more settled and content than either Leona or Emily. But it slowly becomes apparent that she is possibly the most troubled of all, unable to come to terms with the death of a mother she was never outwardly fond of, unable to accept the affections of the people who care for her the most. The best parts of this novel, in which the three characters manage ultimately to reconcile some of their conflicts, are the gentle pictures it presents, imagemlikely 10 One chapter, for instance, takes us into Emily's apartment, where she sits, absent-mindedly, behind a humming electric typewriter. Her attention turns to vase of roses, surrounded at the base by a pool of petals. TOUCHES PETALS “She picked up a handful of petals and closed her fingers around them and opened her hand. The petals were slightly creased, but as she watched them, they slowly uncreased; they didn’t seem to realize that they were detached from their flower and close to death.” Another similarly poignant image comes near the end of the boom when Marion is helping her father sort through her mother’s things: old photographs, a high school album, a secretaril school diploma. Her father is helplessly consumed by memory, detailing bits and pieces of the past to a daughter who can react only with bitterness. LOTTERY In Toronto, the Thoinpeot!

It explores how children deal with a world full of mon- sters, divorce, broken homes and mommies and daddies who love them one minute and seem like insensitive boobs the next. Secret World, to be broad- cast at 8 p.m. EDT, is on early so parents will have their homework on the living room floor in front of them. Besides offering a panel of experts on bringing up baby, the show boasts actor John Ritter as host and is spiced by the likes of Shelley Duvall, Ruth Gordon, Joan Lunden, the Smothers Bro- thers, Sally Struthers and Mr. T. Secret World succeeds best when it stays with the kids and their simple look at life. It does not dismiss childlike behaviour simply because it is housed in a child. The show's opening song says, “Just look at the world through the eyes of the child that was you.” And that’s the MUSIC IS 'NIHILISTIC’ their future has been wiped out by the adults and there's nothing for it but the turn-on of heavy metal music,” she said in an interview.

Organizers want the Pope on schedule as he visits 13 cities from coast to coast Sept. 9-20, attracting hugh crowds. That means air, land and water travel arrangements raged to a fine edge, coupled with secrecy-cloaked security measures that are as close to fail-safe as possible. ¥ STAGE DRY RUN Although ‘planned literally to the minute, with a practice run in August to iron out tiny wrinkles, the tour’s schedule may face its major disruption from Pope John Paul's own penchant for the impromptu. “The Pope is his own man,” says a member of the federal group:in charge of the logistics of the visit, with a small sigh of resignation. But Maj. Jim Dale said the group — anticipating papal spontaneity — has alternative plans ready if the Pope or the weather disrupt the original schedule. That schedule, fermenting since last October, is now mostly in place but it will be open to fine-tuning as the countdown looms. CLOSE AIRPORTS Arriving at Quebee City just before noon Sunday aboard a chartered Alitalia flight direct from Rome, the Pope received the gala welcome normally accorded visiting heads of state. Ste-Foy airport, like all 11 airports he will use in Canada, was closed to other flights while the Pope's plane landed and his party disembarks. That's a norman procedure for head-of-state visits, Lyon said, and in this case, a necessity. Not only will it tighten security at the critical transfer points betwen plane and ground transportation, but it will limit the potential confusion of “having hundreds of little pilots up in the air” trying for a close glipmse of the papal plane.

Brule said planners have tried to avoid rush hours and to minimize traffic tie-ups, “but we didn’t always have a choice. “We only have him in Canada for 12 days and it’s a big country.” The slow-speed (15 kilometres an hour) motoreades will include a popemobile — a shiny white truck with a bullet-proof see-through bubble on the back — that will carry the Pope visibly but safely through throngs of spec- tators. Crowd-control officers will keep people off the road- ways while closer to the cathedrals where the Pope will leave the: popemobile, ropes or barricades will hold crowds back. 3 WANOCOUVER (CP) — Enrolment at many British post-secondary tional educa institutions, which Columbia's has-imcreased dramatically for years, has stalled. Faced with tuition increases, an all-ioan student aid program, high unemployment and an every-increasing cost of living, students are no longer lining up in record numbers to into the province's universities, community colleges ‘technical institutes. ‘At many institutions enrolment is holding steady or even rising slightly. But at others, it's gone down and there are few instances of the sharp ii i have figures indicate enrolment will be up by five to 10 per this year from last year. BC, Insti of reported every fall for the past few years. The most dramatic example of the current trend is at the University of Victoria, where there are 450 fewer full- and part-time first-year students than the 2,049 enrolled last year. “Three years ago, we had a 17-per-cent increase in year one,” said university president Howard Petch. “That was so big am increase that for the last three years we tried to hold it ecomstant because physically we couldn't handle any further increase.” Petch said the overall enrolment drop of 2.4 per cent will have little impact on the university this year. He attributed the decline to the fact that the university has always had a high proportion of rural students (last year, it was about 48 per cent of the enrolment), who have the when they attend DOWN THIS YEAR At the University of B.C., where enrolment jumped seven per cent last fall, information officer Al Hunter said overall enrolment is down by about one per cent from what it was at this time last year. That adds up to about 300 fewer students than the 26,000 enrolled at UBC by this point last year, but Hunter said registration is continuing and it is possible the figures will end up the same for both years. At Simon Fraser University, which had a 3.3-per-cent increase in undergraduate enrolment last year, information officer Ken Mennell said the expectation is that enrolment will remain static or decrease slightly. At North Vancouver's Capilano College, where en rolment jumped by more than five per cent last year, information officer Bil} Little said this year’s will said is elimbed by 10 per cent.
