Do you know how many evenings I have spent doing marriage counselling with friends because I couldn't stand to see them fighting? They go home happy, having ventilated their anger, while my husband rants and raves at me for ignoring him all night. You wouldn't believe the number of frilly bridesmaid dresses I have had to purchase just because I can never tell people that I don't want to be their friend anymore. I'm the kind of person who can't enjoy watching com petitive sports because I feel so sorry for the loser. During Skate Canada, I thought I'd have heart failure every time a performer fell. I wanted to take each one of them in my arms and coo: "Don't worrry, there'll be another time." The "Miss Canada Pageant" really wore me out. I trembled when each contestant, especially Miss Manitoba, our new beauty queen, attempted the "question period". I detest conflict so much that before I was married I accepted dates from men I didn't like rather than disturb their peace of mind by refusing. On the first date, I just acted as obnoxiously as I could to ensure that they wouldn't call back.

Canadian poet Helene Rosenthal was caught reading some of her poetry at the New West. campus on Wednesday Nov. 8 Record review BY DAN SULLIVAN Pinion Staff Writer After two mediocre albums, the rock group Styx's latest A&M Records release, Pieces of Eight, is a welcome return to the style and excellence of Equinox, the album that first rocketed the group to stardom three years ago. Pieces of Eight can best be described as progressive rock music, which is conveyed brilliantly to the listener. The music and lyrics are highlighted by the unmistak able Styx sound: The opening track is titled Great White Hope, and this song sets the stage for a 35-minute musical journey. In contrast, the next two tracks, I'm Ok and Sing for the Day, which are slower than the first song, are good examples ofthe group's versatility. The final track on side one begins with a haunting prelude called The Message, which continually builds iri vigor and finally explodes into the opening bar of Lords of the Ring. The first three tracks on side two of the album are all very powerful and the percussion sound Styx achieves on these three songs is particularly noteworthy. The title trach is the only song that is musically weak on an other wise top-rate album. If you enjoy scintillating vocal and instrumental harmony, you will find Pieces ofEight a gem.

If it is any consolation to CT fans, Heaven Tonight is the best of Trick's albums, but it still remains miles behind the rest ofthe pack. ·WEIGHT LOSS Nothing very original about this LP, but it should make a mild splash with the teeny-boppers. ·CENTRE Canadian singer-composer Gordon Lightfoot has com piled some of his greatest hits on the new album, Gord's Gold. ·call The songs on this album have been re-recorded and 7011 Elmbridge, although they differ slightly from the originals, the songs Now Richmond, B.C. retain the qualities that made them hits in the beginning. Those who appreciate Lightfoot's style will treasure this 278·3831 two-record collection which includes the hits Sundown, Bitter Green, and If I Could Read Your Mind. Lightfoot's tribute to the Canadian railroad, Canadian Railroad Trilogy, is redone better than the original. Simply relating to the music or listening to the poetic lyrics of the songs on Gord's Gold, is an enlightening way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy afternoon.
