The Red River College's newspaper ector January 28, 2002 Princess Street project on target for fall

By Natalie Pona

ed River College's Princess Street pro- Rject is on schedule, and the first students are slated to start classes there this fall. "We're moving ahead very quickly and it's right on schedule," said Dave Williamson, RRC's representative to the project and the college's Dean of Business and Applied Arts. The 225,000 square foot campus will cost $31.5 million, money from the provincial government. Programming and equipment will be paid for by tuition and the College Expansion Initiative, a provincial government undertaking that funds new college programs. • Construction on the William block, a.k.a. Phase 1 of three, was started last April. The William buildings, 315 and 321, are going to house 350 students from the Creative Arts programs next September, including Graphic arts, Creative Communications, and the new Digital Multimedia program. "'Ate William block is being totally refurbished," Williamson explained. "All the woodwork is being cleaned-up, the brick is being sandblasted ... its a lovely building." Phase 2 of construction, scheduled to be done by fall 2003, focuses on the Princess building, a structure that housed the first Winnipeg Grain Exchange. During Phase 2 construction, Creative Arts classes will take place in the finished William block. "No one has actually said noise from the construction is a The future Princess St. climate controlled atrium, not quite ready as of today, but slated for opening potential problem," Williamson 2004. said in an interview.

RRC had a semester system, Also, the longer summer could mean time for eight week but changed it to a trimester system about 20 years ago. summer courses at RRC. "Our key decision -criteria was does the change benefit the students, instructors, and employees of the program?" Thomson said. The Senior Academic Committee, appointed last fall, is considering changing the academic year to two 16 week terms, a semester system, divid- ed by the December holiday break. The year would begin around Sept. 1, and finish at the end of April. Thomson said that the committee is also looking into a possible break week in February, similar to the University of Winnipeg's Reading Week. Robyn Beninger, a second year Business Administration student, said that RRC's shift to the semester system would be a good idea. "I find Red River has a really long year," she said. Beninger explained that one benefit of changing the system would be the improved odds of land- ing a summer job. "We don't even have a chance out there. A lot of summer jobs are gone by June." The semester system will be put to the test next September at the new Princess Street campus. Dave Williamson, RRC's representative to the Princess Street project, explained that the semester system brings RRC "in line" with other colleges and universities. "The plan at this point is the semester system. There's a committee working very hard to make the change possible," he said. The Creative Arts students, who will be the first at the William Avenue building of the campus, are scheduled to convert from the trimester system, a change that the S.A.C. is investigating for all Business and Applied Arts programs in 2003.

The Projector union• January 28,2002 Picking on the Fat Girl

'm more offended by axe murder than teenaged hard-ons. Maybe it's just me. I saw Fat Girl last week. It's the French movie by Inotorious bad-girl director Catherine Breillat. The film was banned in Ontario. Censors were offended because it had some underaged sex and nudity. Breillat has a reputation for sex and nudity; she's recognized for her "daring exploration of female sexuality" in films like Fat Girl. The gist of the plot is two sisters, Anais, 13, and Elena, 15, are on vacation with their parents. The elder, Elena, meets and loses her virginity to a law student whom she meets in a restaurant. Through all of the discussion about this film's failings and arguments for why it should be banned everywhere else in Canada, I learned that the Ontario censors had qualms about two scenes: one showing two teenagers having sex, and the other involving the rape of Anais, the title fat girl. As I watched Fat Girl, I admit I was a little uncomfortable sec ing naked kids and their awakening sexuality. It was unusual, but only because it was so realistic It was everyone's first sexual experience, generally speaking, right down to the "if you don't have sex with me I'm going to have to find a girl who will" bull- shit. In any case, though I felt uneasy, the only thing that separated most of this film from Hollywood movies was that the actors were a couple of years short of legal. I guess Breillat could've chosen young looking adults, then Fat Girl would have slid past Ontario censors. NOTE: If you want to see this film, stop reading this review, because I'm going to reveal the ending. But, if you're interested in why this movie should really have raised questions, read on. Amidst all of the controversy about some immature unclothed bodies, what I haven't heard anything about is Fat Girl's con- dusion. Sure, I've heard about the rape scene, but not the violence that preceded it. So anyway, after Elena loses her virginity to the sleaze bag law student, mom finds out, and plans to take the two girls home.

1. True. The name Islam simply means "Self-surrender to the Will of God." A Muslim is a follower of this faith. Muslims have two major sources from which they derive their religious teachings. The first is a book known as "the Quran," the direct Revelation of God to His last Prophet, Muhammad. The second source is the collected sayings and pronouncements of the Prophet which are complimentary to the Revelation. These are known as "the Hadith."

2. False. Muslims do not worship Muhammad. The Quran states that Muhammad is no more than one of God's many Messengers such as Moses, Solomon, or Jesus Christ. The only special status that Muhammad has is that he is considered the last of God's messengers. Muhammad lived in sixth century Arabia.

3. False. Allah is simply Arabic for "the God," which is understood to mean "the God Abraham." Arabic speaking Jews and Christians would also use the word "Allah" when making any reference to God.

4. False. The Five Pillars of Islam are the foundation of Muslim life. The First Pillar of Islam or the chief Pillar is the belief in the Oneness of God. The other four of Islam's Five Pillars are all action oriented. They are fasting, daily prayers, charity, and pilgrimage to Mecca.

5. False. Only 1/5 of the world's 1.2 billion Muslims are Arab. The majority of the world's Muslims are Asian.

The Forgettable Decade

Review:

That 80's Show

Fox

By Mikki Sluce hat 80's Show premiered last night... disappointing at best. While That 70's Show is effortlessly funny, the writers and producers of T this show totally miss the mark. In a misguided attempt to make you laugh they cram as many clichés as possible into one half hour, more than anyone can stand. Numerous Miami Vice cracks, the worst hair I've seen outside of a Flock of Seagulls video, and enough tacky jewelry to make the Material Girl herself cry. Maybe I'm too young to be nostalgic for this show, but I've cracked myself up at Hyde, Fez and the rest of the gang and I know I am definitely too young for that era. Without a decent story line or characters you can really get into, That 80's Show will bottom out faster than Dead or Alive's singing career (remember, "you spin me right round baby..."). You can only laugh at skinny ties, Reaganomics, and catch lines like "where's the beef?" so many times before you switch the channel. PHOTO COURTESY OF FOX. Most people I know are still trying to forget the 80's. The show feebly touches on the bisexuality of one of the characters (who happens to be one of the Sweet Valley fun to being a 'Slave 4 U' and cursing my IBM Pentium 4 with broadband capabilities High twins..a cruel twist of fate?) .
