As the Greenpeace society is the only environmental Society on campus we have a big job to spread environmental awareness so this week, in particular through the Bare Facts pullout and the Fayre in the union on Wednesday we are trying to put across our messages. The Greenpeace society, being affiliated to the national Greenpeace group helps with some of the national campaigns such as: THORP - which is a new nuclear reprocessing plant, Greenpeace has just been in die High court trying to gain a public inquiry in the opening of the plant for plutonium testing; or the Boycott Norway campaign trying to stop the Norwegians whaling, which they are doing in deflance of the International Whaling Commission. We have also recendy done an Action sponsored swîm, which was very successful. As well as the national campaigns we are interested in what other green groups get up to and have been actively involved in helping in the battle against the Mil link in East London. There is a national conférence for the Green Student Network in Manchester which we are going to. Then on campus we are trying to get the recycling scheme (set up last year) going across campus and our other big aim is to get the union and then the university to have an environmental policy as there is none at the moment! So if you are at ail curious about what we do and why we do it, come along to the events we are putting on and find out more.

Sweden is an example of this, wiüi two thirds of the land area coveied by forests of spruce, pine and birch. mey also have a thriving paper hidustry. Swedish companies felling trees have to (by law) replace every felled tree with a new sapling. Considering it takes about a hundred years for a sapling to mature into a tree that is ready to be felled the management is never-ending. The cycle goes on and on - a new siq)ling is planted, an old tree is harvested.

The industry has been computerised in the last fîfty yeitfs and instead of woodcutters living in small communities dose to the forest it is now only necessary to have one man with the aid of a computer to fell the trees. m e modem machinery enables trees to be felled, stripped of their branches and cut into logs in the matter of a few seconds. The computer helps the driver to decide how best to cut up the tree leaving no wastage.

Almost half the trees felled are tumed into paper or paper products, one of Sweden's largest producers being S torà, mey own over one and a half millicm hectares of forest in Sweden. While they fell a large area of forest, some parts are left in üieir natural state providing homes for an abundance of wildlife. mey are also experimenting on fmding the best habitat for species. For example some species of insect and fungi thrive in areas that have recently been bunit; so Stora have been buniing small patches of cleared land to see if these species will colonise the area and thrive in it.

The good news is diat we have a hot film to take its place : "Consenting Adults". Instead of a tense, acdon-packed thriller, you can see a diriller of a different type.

The ORI offering diis week is "In the Line of Pire", starring Clint Eastwood in a more clean-shaven role. He plays Secret Service Agent Frank Horrigan who is protector of die President of die United States which, fortunately for Americans, is as dose as Clint is ever likely to get to die Presidency. Clint has to deal widi a psychopaüiic president-basher, and is haunted by die memory of not being able to save John F. Kennedy 30 years previously. This is a gripping thriller which was nominated for several Oscars - make sure you don't miss it.

The Arts Cinema is showing "Orlando", a British film based upon the book of the same name by Virginia Woolf. It follows die Ufe story of a man bom into Elizabedian England who lives for 400 years, and changes imo a woman.The story is told in a series of episodes, each widi its own dieme - love, poetry and politìcs to name a few. Make sure you get your dckets for this highly enjoyable fihn. Our apologies to our disappointed members. Until next week,

Thomas the Cat.

AT THE MOVIES With Pete 'n' Phil

Odeon, Epsom Road - Friday 18 February for 7 Days

Sci*6di 1 * Screen 2 : MRS DOUBTFIRE (12) FREE WILLY (U)

ikely to be one of the best comedies of the year, this gnoring the obvious title jokes, this is the heart-warm- -ihas the miuvellous Robin Williams as an immature Iing (or some would say sickly) everyday story of a boy actor who, heartbroken at losing access to his kids during and his whale. Having problems at home and feeling his divorce, dons a dress and uses his skills to become the trapped, Jesse strikes up a relationship with an imprisoned eponymous, formidable, Scottish housekeeper, Mrs killer whale (as you do) and, recognising the whale's Doubtfire; in whose name he lands ajob in his ex-wife's plight as a reflection of his own, he naturally decides to house. If you ignore the fact that his wife must have the free the beast and prove a point to all those horrible adults. brains of a guppy not to recognise her husband in drag James Jason Richter is actually pretty good as Jesse, this is a terrific comedy with some wonderful set pieces although some of the older actors let the side down, and and, of course, Robin Williams. Okay, it is too long, but the movie does become too sentimental and slushy. How- director Chris Columbus (who did "Home Alone") is wise ever, those that like this type of thing will probably enjoy enough to trust his actors and just let them go. it and find themselves sniffing back their tears.
