PM at the nor ot In. ttuthtttmt Open “one” to Friday 9:00 am to 6:00 pm You can count the thousands of dedicated soccer players, fans and officials in this city among those around the world saddened, shocked and disgusted at the tragedy in Brussels last week that saw 38 people killed in a spectator riot prior to the European Cup final between Liverpool of England and J uventus of Turin, Italy. Clearly documented on British TV for everyone to see, and just as clearly the fault of blatant hooliganism on the part of crazed British supporters, the disaster is the blackest of black marks that have plagued the world's most popular' sport in recent years. . Incidences of unruly behaviour have been commonplace in soccer stadia for years, predominantly in Great Britain but certainly not exclusive to that corner of the globe. Those of us in North America not aware of the intensity each match can fuel have tended to treat stories of mob scenes and spectator injury and death with passive indifference; after viewing with horror last week's bloody massacre, that can no longer be the case. It is time measures are taken to eliminate such actions at these events; legislative steps have already been taken banning English clubs indefinitely from European competi- tion, a move accepted by English officials as deserved, while they attempt to put their house back in order. Other, more concrete and visible measures must be taken as well, to improve security and warn spectators that continued hooliganism will simply not be tolerated. Certainly easier said than done, the message must be loyally obeyed, lest further incidences of violent fanaticism continue to flare uncontrolled. The last resort, of course, would be to ban all spectators from matches, but what a sad commentary on the state of society, and a move that couldn't guarantee violence wouldn't just move to the streets instead. We in North America shouldn't resort to tilting back our chairs and throwing stones from our glass houses, either. The image all too quickly comes to mind of drunken, disorderly conduct following Toroto Argonauts Grey Cup victory in 1983; of that same team's season ticket sales slumping because real fans refuse to sit amongst polluted slobs; of the scene in a baseball playoff where Chris Chambliss of New York Yankees had to throw punches to escape the mob at Yankee Stadium celebrating his game-winning homer; of Detroit Tiger management as recent as several weeks ago closing the entire centre field bleachers, home of the most rabid fans in baseball, until those fans appreciated that loyal support is one thing, widescale rowdyism doused in obscene behaviour quite an- other. #2222 ‘ ti' , l " imm8ll , - - _ .

Sure, if they lose, it's a shame. But far more of a shame is that sport for sport sake is being ruined by a few, who care nothing for the real fans, nor the game, but only for themselves. No, the sport of soccer is not the only one needing to clean up its spectator act. But right now, because of actions of a few thousand idiots (actions foreseen days before game time), the sport of millions wears the blackest of black eyes. Here's hoping time and understanding heals the wound - quickly. _ - _ - - - .. I i LCP, l a Farenough Publisher: Paul Winkle Manager: Bill Karges Editor: Rick Campbell Humans, though not as tenacious and puma seful as the ant, nor as busy as the bee, have much in common with them. Ants, of course, can't swim. Or they can, but they can't hold their noses when they go under. so they drown. Who'd want to he an apt? _ Beei. on the other hand, can fly, and we can't. But they are unable to jump. even to a conclusion. and we can, so that evens out., We don't have the single~mindedness of ants. They know where they are going, o, what tl are doing. We don't. We go wandering about a get squashed. They do too, of course, but at least they were headed somewhere. Bees bumble, but never on the scale that we do. They zero in on a flower. We stagger into a cactus. They go, "Vrooom, vrooomo'" We flood our motors and go, "Ka-whuek, ka-Whunck. ka- t-----tt is written There are other similarities and differences, none of whicl§ prove that humans are superior. Ants don’t have sexual hang-ups. They know that they are workers, or soldiers or whatever. Humans don't, half the time, know whether they are punched, bored, or kicked in with a frozen Bees also know who and where they are. Like us, they have a Queen, but theirs doesn't have to consult the Labor Party before deciding what)o do about unemployment. She wipes" out the workers. That automatically creates new jobs. Imagine a world in which bees had un- employment insurance. You'd not only have a bee in your bonnet but a bee in your bum, your brain and your bra. Unlike us, ants don't worry about their ants, We have poor aunts who must be kept under cover, rich aunts who must be toadied to, and crazy aunts who threaten to come and stay with Bees don't bother much about other bees. They just buzz about, sucking honey. What a life. They have no rotten kids, frigid wives, drunken husbands, goofy grandchildren, aged parents. So far. it looks as though we've got the short end of the stick, and the ants and the bees are in clover. But there's one thing that drags them down to our level. We all live in cells. You didn't know this? You say humans have free will? You think we can call the shots. be masters of our own destiny. choose between good and evil, live as long as we like. so to heaven or hell, decide what to have for dinner? Nonsense.

But they are cells __ - A, We wake up in the same cell, after nightmares about being in a cell, and proceed to a smaller cell where we peer at ourselves, shake our heads gioomiiy and remove various normal blessings. Can you imagine a bee shaving his God-given whiskers? At night, we niove from the TV cell to the cell with the platform where we, for no reason, expect to go to sleep. __ - A Then we romp down through a vertical cell with no windows to another cell with orange juice and coffee. Ants and bees get spilled sugar and honey. No coffee. no tea. no caffeine prob- lems. Next, we leave this cell for a mobile one, with FM radio. window wipers, and automatic knees, legs, windows. Meanwhile. the ants and the bees go about their business. getting exercise, fresh air and a keen curiosity about what's going to happen today. _ _ We know nothing new is going to happen today. We go to a big cell, where ladies type in a little cell within a bigger cell. We pick up our little cellular pieces from the ladies and go off to our individual cells, where we spend the entire day convincing other people that they should be happy to even have a cell. Sometimes we are happy. We go to a big cell and browse around, humming and snuming things and touching the untouchables. But it ends all too soon. We are brought to a tiny cell, where a young woman punches out some tentacles that drag us back to the big cell, where the Queen Bee informs us that we have no taste. no common sense. and less intelligence than a bee or an ant. Someday, humans will stop gossiping about each other. Ants don‘t. Someday humans will stop stinging each other. Bees duet, except when you has them. Sonieday Humans will stop asking. "Why?" The word is not in the vocabulary of ants and But humans must have a can. If they dort't, the theme song of the Tweetty-tirst Century might well be, "My cell is your cell. Your cell is my cell. And our cell is our cell ..." On the other hand, perhaps we are not lost in the cells. Ants can multiply. but they cart't divide. Bees can but, but they cart beam. - Maybe there's a future for u, lf we can just get out of thooecells.
