Artworks teen danc

Last week Zap asked you if
16-year-olds should be allowed
to vote. There were quite a few
calls and the balance came up
as 60% against giving the vote
to 16-year-olds and 40% for it.

I don’t agree. Danny

set for next weekend

NORTH SHORE youth are in-
vited to an Oct. 4 dance that,
if successful, will be the first of
a Series of teen dances.

Rosemary Johnsen of Art-
works: The Event says posters
publicizing the North Van
District Centennial-sponsored
event are being posted in the 11
different North Shore high
schools.

Five hundred tickets are
available to the ‘‘dry’’ dance
which will be held in the gym-
nasium of RecCentre
Delbrook, 600 W. Queens,
North Vancouver and will
feature a music video wall
show.

If the event proves popular,
dances could be held every six
weeks.

Johnsen says the eventual
goal of Artworks: The Event is
10 organize an annual youth
acts festival that would include
performances as weil as profes-
sionally-taught performing arts
workshops in the schools.

Tickets to the Friday, Oct. 4
dance, which runs from 8:15 to
11:30 p.m., cost $6 in advance,
$7 at the door. They are avail-
able at Silver Disc in Capilano
Mall, Westbeach at 820 Marine
Dr., North Vancouver, and at
Kelly’s in Park Royal.

I don't believe you should be
allowed to vote at 16, you're
just barely allowed to drive so
there’s no point in voting.

¥ GOT a chance to see Terminator Z recently and as I left
the theatre I really did not know what to think.

When I look back at it now I
realize that it was actually not a
bad movie. But that had to do
with the fact that I was critical
~nough and aware enough to see
its downfalls.

The main one is its incredible
violence. Of course, anyone seeing
Terminator 2 should expect that. !
guess it was the squeals of delight
from the four-year-old boy behind
me that I found disturbing.
Responsible parents? I think not.

The underlying thing, though,
was the pure escapism that the
movie offered and forced upon
the viewer. By that J] mean that
whether you wanted to be, you
were sucked into it. It’s not that
often that I leave a movie theatre

a robot.

In a time where violence is more
and more portrayed as a spectacle,
simply something to be entertain-
ed by, I found this to be scary.
The movie stuck the viewer in the
middle of this fast-paced action
and senseless killing. By doing so
one was de-sensitized and actually
entertained by ail the destruction.

Another case in point: the Gulf
War. A war where not a single
American casualty was displayed
in the media. A war where ‘“‘the
enemy’’ was not human but sim-
ply a blip on the radar screen.

Terminator 2: scary escapism

The same sort of downplaying
of violence occurred at the PNE
this summer where one shooting
gallery at the midway offered a
live target to practice your skills
on.

Pretty disgusting if you ask me.

('m glad I saw Terminator 2,
believe it or not. It gives me a
better picture of what sort of
brainwashing I’m up against.
