Pop vs. Pope
Q: How do you incur the wrath of the New York Roman Catholic
Archdiocese and get yourself blacklisted by NBC?
A: Cover Bob Marley’ssong, War, and finish by holding up a picture
of the Pope as you draw out the last word of the song-"evil." Then, just to
be sure everyone has gotten the point, rip up the photo and firmly state,
"Fight the real enemy.”
by Angus Adair
The Pope's been hit. The bullet-
proof Pope mobile failed to protect
him from an Irish woman who has
good reason to oppose him and the
organization for which he stands.
Irish Catholic kids are killed every
day in the firestorm of Northern
Ireland. Rather than oppose the
holocaust taking place in Northern
Ireland, the Pope visits with Kurt
Waldheim, infamous from the
holocaust of Nazi Germany.
The Pope is also the head of one
of thelargest patriachal organizations
in the world which has been
consistently critiscized for it’s
numerous stands against women
throu; thistory, including present
day. His stands against gays could
easily be seen to constitute, at least
homophobia and at most blatant
persecution of gays.

DC Royals Women's Soccer Team Crushed by Capilano
by Elaine Leong
The Douglas College Royals
Women’s Soccer Team came face to
face with Capilano College Blues,
ranked Sth in the Province.
Douglas was taken to the
defense, struggling to stop the mid-
field and the wings of Capilano. The
challenge contributed to the
unsuccessful attempts of Danielle
Dumaresq and Jennifer Branco,
assisted by the team, as they tried to
push the play to the offensive to
score.
There was better ball handling
by the Blues and they pressured the
Royals on defense, breaking through
to shoot the initial goal of the game.

team into playing as individuals.

the Blues scored once again.
The Blues loosened their

offenses, but not enough to stop two
more goals being scored by Capilano.
Douglas’ coach Dan Jones
commented, “Weneed toconcentrate
on team cohesiveness. We have a

“We've had only two losses so

Royals Men's Soccer Sing the Blues against Capilano
by Elaine Leong
Douglas Men’sSoccer Team took
on defending CCAA National
Champions Capilano College Blues
on Saturday.
The game was tight on defense
yee teams. Shawn Webb and
int Rodgers played well in mid-
field, stealing the ball away from the
College Blues several times.
Shouts and voices worked to
bring each team together. in good
teamwork.
An attempt to score was made
when Gord Lakovic passed the ball
to Chris Clemett who assisted Nick
Tassoneinthetry, withinten minutes
into the game.
Around the twenty-minute
mark, Joseph Nakhla, assisted by
Klint Rodgers, attempted toscore for
Douglas College again.
Unfortunately, both attempts were
foiled by the Capilano goalie.
It was a struggle between what
seemed to be two evenly matched
teams.
As Capilano took their turns in
attempt for goal, Douglas’ goalie
enjoyed one of his better games while
blocking all shots madeby Capilano.
The game slowed in pace and
the ball continued traveling up and
down thefield. No goals werescored
or even attempted.
Capilano took a run on a break
away shot. Thanks to Nathan Erker
and Craig Draper that goal never
took place thus leaving the score at0-
0.
However, in the 80th minute,
Capilano scored, winning the game
1-0.
CoachMike Williams had many
comments on the game about his
satisfaction with the team play.
“It was the best game we played
this season,” Williams said. “I was
really happy with it. All of the guys
were playing asa really good team.”
