Foggy future

The quality of education in the "state of Humber" is quickly deteriorating. The recent faculty cutbacks are a clear indication of the foggy future of Humberites. Education is being compromised to save a few dollars, and probably unknown to most students, Humber didn't exactly start this fiscal year ahead of the game. The school's fmanciaJ situation in September was not much better, but it's nothing a little creative accounting couldn't cure.

The Board of Governors complained about a minimal 1 .2 per cent from the province and how the increase barely covered the inflation rate, which at the time, hovered around five per cent. Letters to the Editor: But, even with the small increase, the college still managed to function.

Poor Talkback Will you be supporting teachers in their fight excuse against cutbacks at the upcoming rally on March 14? Why or why not? for sports by Sue-Anne Battersby

We interrupt your program for this important news flash. It's happened again. Another cancelled intramural event. This year, Humber's excuse for an intramural program has been in shambles. Jim Biaiek, the person responsible for the intramurals, has been lacksadaisical in his attempts to create a consistent venue for Humber's part-time athletes. Consider his sorry record for this year.

by Vicki Wirkkunen The frightening vision of the future penned by Margaret Atwood in The Handmaid's Tale has been worked into a wonderful screen adaption. So often this is a transition that p does not meet with success. However, the movie version of The Handmaid's Tale is excellent, regardless of whether or not the viewer has already read the novel. The story is set in a future near to our time where there are no sci- entific nor technological advances in our society that jump out at the viewer. The only difference in the way the world works, is in the political sphere.

Society as we know it has been taken over by a group which bases its ideals on radical puritan ethics. Because of nuclear accidents and pollution, few women are able to bear children and society has become a place of a strict social order.

humiliating role

A female who passes a fertility test becomes a handmaid, assigned to a Commander to bear him a child. The Commanders are the ruling elite. Those who refuse to submit to the humiliating role of handmaid have another option — being sent to colonies designed to clean up toxic waste until death claims them. The tale is that of a woman named Kate (Natasha Richard- son).
