For a million Chileans exiled

Of Quilapayun is both the re-

group’s aims is to preserve the art
they created.

“Pinochet fears it because it
expresses the unconquerable spirt
of the people. And despite the
repression, we maintain our ties
with the artists still in Chile.”

Quilapayun was on its fourth
international tour when the mili-
tary overthrew the Allende gov-
ernment in 1973 and, added Od-

do, ‘‘we knew we couldn’t go.

back.’? Now the group is based in
Paris.

Since 1973 the group has ac-
quired a larger purpose, seeing It-
self, in Parada’s words, ‘“‘not only
as a preserver and continuator of
Chilean culture, but of all Latin
American culture, trying through
that culture to spread an under-
standing of Latin American as-
pirations in our awakening con-
tinent.”’

Even the name the group chose
for itself, Quilapayun, derived
from an Araucanian Indian word
meaning ‘‘three bearded ones,”’ is
part of the new culture. “In the
sixties the beard came to be asso-
ciated with democracy, progress,
socialism,”? Parada explained,
‘and it has its own symbolism.”’

The poetry of Pablo Neruda.
and the songs of Victor Jara, the
group’s first artistic director, were
blended in superb musical ar-
rangements, uniquein their use of
such Latin American instruments
as the quena and zamponas, in
Quilapayun’s two-hour program
at the Orpheum. For the audi-
ence, grateful to the sponsors,
Canadians for Democracy in
Chile, the performance was all
too short and it was reluctant to

let them go. — Hal Griffin

Manpower
cuts hurt
unemployed

Jean Greatbatch, Vancouver
Status of Women, writes: Man-
power cuts affect everyone. who
cannot afford to pay for their own
training. Living expenses, the
course fee and in some cases tools
and protective clothing, now must
all be paid for.

-Do you care that men, women,
native people, minorities, the dis-
abled, ex-prisoners, ex-mental pa-
tients and our children who drop
out of high school can no longer get
financial help from Manpower to
enable them to get the upgrading
and training needed to land a job?
The training system was never
great, but it was all there was.

These are only some of the cam-
puses hit: Vancouver Vocational
Institute, over 300 seats cut; Burna-
by Provincial Vocational institute,
over 300 seats cut; Maple Ridge
Provincial Vociational Institute,
over 300 seats cut; Malispina Col-
lege, over 200 seats cut.

Some of the courses have been
dropped completely because no
one can afford to fill the seats and
consequently fill the quota.

We are asking for your help in
promoting, funding and sending a
representative to our forum on
Manpower Training cuts, Nov. 13,
7 p.m., in the Robson Square Me-
dia Centre. The forum is sponsored
by the VSW, the B.C. Student Fed-
eration and Women in Trades.
