See you around. Kevin Whibley Obscene Photo of Vie & Rohan Marì( S. Williams ^ ^ FEATURE Do The Whales Still Need You ?
Svein Serck-Hanssen, Bare Facts 28th May 1993, is quite right that Minke whales are not at present endangered or is he? Perhaps we should look at the system used to control whaling.
The Intemational Whaling Commission says In its 1946 Convention that its decisions must be i>ased on scientific findings", and it employs its own board of scientists to this purpose. This is good; it allov^ those in favour of whaling to argue that Ihe scientists say it's okay so it must be", and it allows the rest of us a non-emotive, non-moralistic line along which to reason.
So the v/halers follow only scientifically determined guidelines -great. Well, it should be, but there are ttiree main problems. i) Firstly, the IWC has a long history of failing to adopt the recommendations of its own scientists. (For instance, although the move was strongly advised by their scientists, it took them nine years to abolish tiie misleading Blue Whale Unit (which was used to specify an annual "blue whale equivalent" catch limit without specifying species of whale and not, therefore, protecting the more endangered species).) ii) Secondly, the whaling nations frequently go against the ruling of the IWC, despite the fact that they themselves established the Commission. The IWC has no power to force its member states to adhere to its ruling. This is illustrated notably by Norway's recent decision to openly resume commercial whaling, and their observed use of non-explosive harpoons although the IWC and (says Svein) Norway have banned them as inhumane. iii) And thirdly, as Mr. Serck-Hanssen pointed out, our only method of establishing suitable catch limits is by knowledge of the whale populations. But how accurate is our knowledge of the populations of Minkes for example? Well Svein quoted an Antarctic population of 750 000 Minkes but other sources give very different estimates. The Hunting of The Whale" (Jeremy Cherfas, Penguin) tells how the IWC catch limit for Minkes was reduced by 37% in 1984 due to the reduction in the "IWC scientists' best estimate" of the population from 405 300 to only 258 300.
At the very least this tells us that scientists cannot accurately predict populations and that our whole basis for setting catch limits is highly inaccurate. The mathematical models used topredict populations are constantly being revised to allow for previously unconsidered fac- tors. Each time, the estimate decreases. In the meantime, what are we doing to the v/hale stocks?
So, to recap, the whaling nations base their actions on scientific e\^dence but: i) they do not necessarily obey the IWC. ii) the IWC does not necessarily follow its scientific Reeling : The latest designer T-shirt exclaims advice. Save A Whale - Harpoon a Norwegian. Iii) the "scientific evidence" (if it isn't ignored)is often Not very fair on our Norwegian students, I feel. grossly Inaccurate anyway. Picture kindly by Garth Gibbs, Daily Mirror Newspaper
So where does that leave the Minkes? Quite possibly in the same situation as all the other species of whales v^ich were hunted according to scientific advice and are barely "alive to tell the tale". Norway, no doubt, is all too well aware of how much wealthier its whaling industry could be if Blue virale populations were still large. So Intensely aware thatthe more astute among its engineering students can even distinguish a Blue whale (26m long, 105 tonnes)fi-om it s "identical twin" the Minke (8m, 6 tonnes). Well done.
To reiterate the point that slaughter in v/haling is inhumane, a cow has to be killed In 17 seconds (and as Svein pointed out, is unconclous throughout this time). The death of a (fully conscious) Minke takes at least 17 times longer, and has been known to take more than 112 times longer in Norweigan v^aling operations. If scientists consider this too inhumane for land mammals, why should it be acceptable in v^aling?
Perhaps then the logical reason not to continue v/haling is that we don't know what we're doing, we dont need to do it, and we're sure as hell not doing it properly.

Rob Jackson Mari( Williams 8 FEATURE March Against Racist Murders
On Thut^ay 22 April, 18 year old Stephen Lawrence was brutally attacked and murdered by a gang of six racists in Eltham SE London. Last July Ruhullah Aramarsh died following a similarly vicious attack outside his home in Croydon. These killings were not isolated incidents but part of a rising tide of racist violence which has seen at least nine people murdered in this country since the beginning of 1992. Many thousands more suffer abuse and harassment, and the problem is getting worse.
This pattern is repeated elsewhere in Europe. In Germany for example, the number of attacks increased tenfold in 1991, and doubled again last year. Only last week, five Turks died in an arson attack, including two girls aged four and nine. At the same time, support for extreme right wing political parties is growing alarmingly - the Fascist National Front took over 12% of the vote in recent French elections. Thankfully the Nazis do not have the same prominence in this country at present but that doesnl mean we should be complacent - support forthe far right British National Party and the National Front may be very limited, but it is on the increase. This is a very worrying trend- the huge escalation in racist violence in Greenwich and Bexley since the BNP moved their headquarters there in 1989 can surely be no coincidence.
To protest against this rising tide of racist violence, and in particular the murders of Ruhullah Aramesh and Stephen Lawrence, the Anti- Racist Alliance has organised a national demonstration to take place in Croydon on Saturday 12 June. Show your opposition to racism ( and have a fun day in sunny Croydon l)by coming along on the march. MEET IN UNION FOYER 10 am SAT 12 JUNE See you there!

These are mushrooms with hallucinogenic properties, which can be found in the UK. These mushrooms can be eaten fresh, brewed as a tea, or dried. The effects are similar to those of LSD, although the strength is variable. By far the biggest danger is in identifying the correct mushrooms; failure to do this may mean that the mushrooms are poisonous, and may cause death. DRUGWISE
