      According
      to
      Bill
      Dunphy
      of
      the
      Toronto
      Sun,
      one
      of
      a
     
     
      few
      journalists
      who
      specialize
      in
      investigating
      neo-Nazi
      groups,
     
     
      hate
      groups
      entered
      the
      music
      business
      specifically
      to
      capture
     
     
      ayoung
      audience
      and
      draw
      them
      in.
      They
      realize
      thata
      teenager
     
     
      playing
      a
      tape
      will
      hear
      the
      same
      song
      several
      times
      in
      a
      day
      or
     
     
      week.
     
    

    
     
      “*They
      entered
      the
      music
      business
      because
      they
      believe
     
     
      rock
      music
      is
      the
      key
      to
      the
      minds
      of
      young
      people.
      They
     
     
      believe
      it
      can
      drive
      the
      message
      home
      much
      better
      than
      a
     
     
      leaflet.
      They
      use
      music
      for
      thesame
      reason
      that
      beer
      companies
     
     
      use
      rock
      music;
      it’s
      a
      way
      of
      selling
      a
      message
      and
      a
      product.”’
     
    

    
     
      Kinsella
      agrees,
      but
      adds
      the
      appeal
      is
      also
      in
      the
     
     
      package
      presented
      with
      the
      music.
      Kinsella
      says
      hate
      groups
     
     
      exploit
      the
      adolescent
      need
      to
      rebel,
      their
      need
      to
      feel
      distinct.
     
     
      They
      very
      effectively
      capitalize
      on
      things
      that
      adoles-
     
     
      cents
      need:
      a
      uniform,
      a
      hierarchy,
      a
      secret
      society.
      They
      have
     
     
      something
      separate
      from
      the
      adult
      established
      world.’’
     
    

    
     
      The
      hate
      groups
      have
      formed
      their
      own
      record
      label,
     
     
      Resistance
      Records.
      The
      label
      is
      run
      by
      former
      head
      of
      the
     
     
      white
      supremacist
      Church
      ofthe
      Creator,
      white-power
      skinhead
     
     
      George
      Burdi.
     
    

    
     
      Burdi,
      who
      also
      goes
      by
      the
      name
      Eric
      Hawthorne,
      is
      the
     
     
      lead
      singer
      of
      the
      hate
      rock
      group
      RaHoWa,
      a
      contraction
      for
     
     
      Racial
      Holy
      War.
      RaHoWa’ssongs
      have
      titles
      suchas
      ‘‘Lets
      Go
     
     
      Coon
      Hunting
      Tonight’’
      and
      ‘“These

      Stomping
      Jews.”’
     
    

    
     
      The
      label
      is
      operated
      out
      of
      Detroit
      to
      avoid
      Canadian
     
     
      hate
      laws,
      says
      Richard
      Berman

      B’nai
      Brith
      League

      ”’They
      don’t
      want
      to
      get
      into
      trouble
      with

      hate
      laws.
     
     
      It’s
      illegal
      here,
      but
      totally
      legal
      there,’’
      Berman
      says.
      ‘“The
     
     
      hate
      is
      unbelievable
      in
      these
      songs.
      I
      deal
      with
      neo-Nazi
     
     
      propaganda

      but
      listening
      to
      it
      [this
      music]
      makes
      me
     
     
      sick.””

      Dunphy
      also
      says
      the
      hate
      groups
      publish
      a
      slickly-
     
     
      produced
      fanzine,
      called
      Resistance,
      that
      skirts

      being
      published
      in

      by
      being
      distributed
      secretly.
     
    

    
     
      "It’s
      being

      Dear
      Editor,
     
     
      Thad
      an
      experience
      a
      short
      time
      ago
      that
      prompted
      me
      to
      write
      this
      letter,
      as
      I
      feel
      I
      have
      been
      treated
      unfairly
      without
      good
      reason.
     
     
      I
      feel
      my
      rights
      as
      a
      student
      of
      this
      university
      were
      denied.
     
    

    
     
      On
      Thursday
      morning,
      February
      2,
      a
      good
      friend
      of
      mine
      (she
      doesn’t
      want
      to
      be
      involved)
      and
      I
      arrived
      on
      campus
      with
     
     
      breakfast
      and
      books
      in
      hand.
      We
      had
      some
      work
      to
      get
      done
      before
      our
      8:30
      classes.
      Knowing
      that
      the
      library
      was
      not
      yet
      open,
     
     
      and
      not
      wanting
      to
      work
      and
      eat
      in
      the
      smoke
      filled
      noise
      of
      the
      pit,
      we
      decided
      to
      stop
      in
      at
      the
      nearby
      nursing
      lounge
      located
     
     
      in
      Steele
      building.
      We
      entered
      the
      lounge
      ignoring
      the
      questionable
      sign
      (which
      had
      always
      bothered
      me
      since
      I
      first
      laid
      eyes
     
     
      on
      it),
      which
      says
      that
      the
      lounge
      is
      ‘‘for
      nursing
      students
      only.’
      We
      figured
      that
      we
      would
      be
      interupting
      no
      one,
      as
      we
      were
     
     
      the
      only
      people
      in
      the
      area
      at
      the
      time.
      We
      enjoyed
      our
      breakfast
      and
      promptly
      tidied
      our
      mess
      and
      began
      our
      work.
      It
      was
      around
     
     
      7:55a.m.
      when
      we
      were
      approached
      by
      a
      young
      woman
      whom
      I
      am
      assuming
      was
      a
      university
      student,
      much
      like
      we
      were,
      and
     
     
      was
      probably
      in
      the
      nursing
      program.
      She
      claimed
      that
      she
      ‘‘...didn’t
      want
      to
      be
      rude’’
      when
      she
      told
      us
      we
      had
      had
      to
      leave
      the
     
     
      lounge
      (the
      building
      too
      perhaps
      ?).
      Obviously,
      she
      did
      not
      recognize
      us
      as
      fellow
      nursing
      students,
      and
      this
      was
      sufficient
      grounds,
     
     
      in
      her
      mind,
      to
      kick
      us
      out.
      Not
      wanting
      to
      cause
      a
      scene,
      we
      left
      without
      asking
      for
      futher
      explanation.
      We
      left
      not
      knowing
      what,
     
     
      if
      any,
      university
      rules
      and
      regulations
      we
      had
      supposedly
      just
      broken.
      I
      was
      rather
      disgusted
      at
      the
      entire
      episode,
      and
      felt
      I
      had
     
     
      to
      do
      something.
     
    

    
     
      Some
      of
      you
      out
      there
      may
      be
      wondering
      what
      the
      big
      fuss
      is
      about.
      Why
      not
      let
      the
      nurses
      have
      that
      lounge
      in
      Steele
     
     
      building
      exclusively
      for
      themselves
      ?
      The
      fact
      is,
      this
      is
      a
      matter
      of
      principle.
      You
      really
      have
      to
      have
      something
      like
      this
      happen
     
     
      to
      you
      before
      you
      can
      understand
      what
      I
      am
      saying.
      Students
      have
      rights
      that

      with
      paying
      to
      attend
      this
      institution.
      From
     
     
      this
      point
      on,
      I
      must
      make
      a
      few
      assumptions.
      If
      I
      were
      taking
      this
      case
      to
      court,
      I
      would
      investigate
      and
      research
      the
      rules
      and
     
     
      regulations
      of
      this
      institution
      more
      thoroughly.
      Fact
      is,
      I
      don’t
      have
      the
      time
      right
      now.
      Six
      courses
      is
      enough.
      Besides,
      this
      isn’t
     
     
      court,
      only
      a
      letter
      to
      the
      editor.

      Firstly,
      I
      assume
      that
      the
      nursing
      lounge
      (one
      of
      the
      newest
      and
      most
      modern
      on
      campus)
      was
      paid
      for,
      in
      part,
      by
      all
      of
     
     
      our
      tuitions.
      Not
      just
      by
      nursing
      students.
      Secondly,
      I
      am
      assuming
      that
      all
      undergraduate
      students
      at
      UPEI,
      regardless
      of
      their
     
     
      field
      of
      study,
      have
      equal
      access
      to
      all
      university
      buildings
      and
      lounges,
      with
      a
      few
      exceptions:
      laboratories
      and
      classes
      in
      session.
     
     
      In
      the
      first
      example,
      laboratories
      are
      filled
      with
      deadly
      toxins
      and
      chemicals
      which
      would
      be
      very
      harmful
      to
      a
      person
      being
     
     
      unfamiliar
      with
      that
      environment,
      therefore
      the
      student
      is
      denied
      access
      for
      reasons
      of
      safety.
      If
      someone
      were
      to
      enter
      a
      classroom
     
     
      when
      a
      class
      was
      in
      session,
      the
      intruder
      would
      be
      disrupting
      the
      class,
      and
      therefore
      be
      directly
      interfering
      with
      the
      paid
      education
     
     
      of
      his
      or
      her
      fellow
      students.
      In
      both
      of
      these
      situations,
      there
      is
      proper
      and
      sufficient
      justification
      for
      restricting
      some
      students
     
     
      access.
      However,
      it
      is
      a
      lounge
      that
      I
      am
      talking
      about.
      A
      lounge
      is
      a
      place
      where
      students
      may
      talk
      freely
      and
      fix
      a
      bite
      to
      eat.
     
     
      These
      areas
      ought
      to
      be
      available
      to
      all
      students
      in
      all
      faculties.
     
    

    
     
      In
      summary,
      I
      feel
      that
      the
      sign
      outside
      the
      nurses
      lounge
      is
      inappropriate
      and
      lacking
      in
      explanation,
      and
      ought
      to
      be
     
     
      removed
      for
      these
      reasons.
      The
      rights
      of
      students
      should
      be
      taken
      very
      seriously,
      and
      if
      we
      don’t
      stand
      up
      for
      them,
      who
      will?
     
     
      So,
      if
      someone
      out
      there
      can
      give
      me
      documented
      reasons,
      why
      students
      of
      other
      diciplines
      cannot
      use
      this
      lounge,
      I
      will
      rest
     
     
      my
      case
      and
      write
      another
      letter
      apoligizing
      for
      my
      ignorance.
      However,
      if
      the
      only
      reason
      is
      that
      of
      selfishness,
      I
      will
      make
      every
     
     
      effort
      to
      have
      that
      sign
      removed.
      Thanks
      for
      listening,
      and
      feel
      free
      to
      contacte
      me
      if
      you
      have
      any
      comments.

      With

      Kinsella
      agrees,

      Choking

      a
      Turkey
      Dinner
      bone...
     
    
   
   
    
     
      As
      a
      true
      Otaku
      (Anime
      Fan),
      I
      find
      myself
      drawn
      to
      comment
      on
      Trent’s
      Jan.
      31st
      Turkey
      Dinner
      focusing
      on
      the
      Fist
      of
      the
     
     
      NorthStar.
      The
      review
      is
      about
      as
      good
      as
      the
      movie,
      which
      is
      to
      say
      that
      it
      smells
      like
      red
      cheddar
      turned
      white.
     
    

    
     
      Ken
      is
      the
      Fist
      of
      the
      NorthStar,
      a
      title
      inheritied
      from
      his
      father.
      The
      Fist
      is
      a
      kind
      of
      protector
      guy/ruler
      of
      an
      area.
      In
     
     
      this
      case,
      the
      area
      known
      as
      the
      NorthStar.
      He
      has
      the
      world
      setting
      right,
      but
      the
      report
      of
      the
      plot
      is
      off.
      There
      is
      a
      motovating
     
     
      factor
      behind
      Ken’s
      wandering,
      which
      is
      that
      Shin
      stole
      his
      girlfriend
      Julia
      (one
      of
      the
      only
      gardeners
      left,
      and
      as
      such
      is
      one
      of
     
     
      the
      only
      hopes
      of
      the
      world
      ever
      recovering)
      and
      took
      off
      with
      her.
     
    

    
     
      Shin
      was
      once
      a
      good
      friend
      of
      Ken’s,
      but
      isn’t
      any
      longer.
      It
      is
      Shin
      that
      almost
      kills
      Ken
      and
      leaves
      him
      to
      die,
      not
      one
     
     
      of
      his
      brothers
      as
      Trent
      claimed.
      Although
      I
      have
      to
      admit,
      with
      all
      the
      He-Man
      bodymolds
      it
      is
      sometimes
      hard
      to
      tell
      who
      is
     
     
      who.
      After
      leaving
      Ken
      to
      die,
      Shin
      takes
      off
      with
      Julia,
      and
      Ken’s
      two
      (not
      three)
      brothers,
      who
      were
      watching
      the
      fight,
      talk.
     
     
      Ral,
      the
      eldest,
      goes
      off
      to
      kill
      their
      father
      and
      destroy
      their
      training
      hall
      to
      prove
      that
      he
      is
      the
      new
      Fist
      of
      the
      Northstar.
      Jacky
     
     
      goes
      and
      takes
      the
      unconscious
      Ken
      and
      tosses
      him
      down
      a
      convienently
      located
      ravene
      and
      then
      collapses
      part
      of
      the
      cliff
      down
     
     
      after
      him.
      The
      ravine
      is
      supposed
      to
      be
      miles
      deep,
      I
      think,
      but
      the
      distance
      proportions
      are
      so
      bad
      there
      is
      no
      telling.
     
    

    
     
      The
      episode
      of
      the
      kids
