In a remarkable af­ front to student apathy, hun­ dreds of umbrella-toting stu­ dents, faculty and staff from UBC, Langara College and lo­ cal high schools braved the rain last Friday to 'Trek for Educa­ tion' and fight cutbacks to post- secondary education. A group of about 150 trek­ kers met at Connaught Park in Kitsilano, grew to over 800 people en route and walked to UBC to send the government a message that students will not bear the weight of cuts to fed­ eral transfer payments. "It was pouring rain and we had 1,000 people trekking up to UBC.

She hadn't even seen The Doors yet. Ending a twenty-three—year career rates as a mild reaction compared to the effect two or three hours alone in a dark room with an Oliver Stone film has had on some folks: The Turks reviled him for what they perceived to be the negative stereotypes in Mid- night Express. Chinese-Americans organized nation- wide protests and boycotts over the racism in Year of the Dragon. And the Cubans put out the unwelcome mat in Miami due to the sadism in Scarface. And those were just his screenplays. His early directorial efforts were no more popular-1981's The Hand was a low-budget horror pic about a severed mitt with murderous tendencies that one critic found so offensive, he immediately hailed Stone as the Antichrist of moviemaking.

  • Screening the LAPD
    1 Screening the L.A.P.D.: Cinematic Representations of Policing and Discourses of Law Enforcement in Los Angeles, 1948-2003. by Robert Bevan University College London Ph.D. Thesis 2 Declaration I, Robert Bevan, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Thesis Abstract This thesis examines cinematic representations of the L.A.P.D. within the context of discourses of law enforcement in Los Angeles and contends that these feature films constitute a significant strand within such discourse. This contention, which is based upon the various identifiable ways in which the films engage with contemporary issues, acknowledges that the nature of such engagement is constrained by the need to produce a commercially viable fictional entertainment. In four main chronological segments, I argue that it is also influenced by the increasing ethnic and gendered diversity of film-makers, by their growing freedom to screen even the most sensitive issues and by the changing racial and spatial politics of Los Angeles. In the 1940s and 1950s, the major studios were prepared to illustrate some disputed matters, such as wire-tapping, but represented L.A.P.D. officers as white paragons of virtue and ignored their fractious relationships with minority communities. In the aftermath of the Watts riot of 1965, racial tensions were more difficult to ignore and, under a more liberal censorship regime, film-makers―led by two independent African American directors―began to depict instances of police racism and brutality.
