Government announces grant, funding cutbacks by Ken Imprint
Bryson staff
University students may no longer receive Ontario grants, universities will not receive the funding increases they were promised last year, and tuition will increase by seven per cent next year, the Ontariogovernmentannouncedlast Thursday, November 26. Richard Allen, Minister of Universities and Colleges, revealed that the grant portion of theOntarioStudent ’ Assistment Program (OSAP) will be dropped in favour of a loans-only sys tern. Beginning in September 1993, then, Ontario students will have more money available to them for loans but next to none for grants. Available loan money will be increased by $130 million to $800 million and students will be required to take the maximum $5,570 loan before qualifying for any grant money. The maximum a student may receive is $6,570, so at most students are eligable for a $1,000 grant in the most extreme cases. Ontario Treasurer Floyd Laughren also annouficed last Thure day that although uw funding for ‘93/94 will not change, universities and colleges will not receive the two per cent inJ crease in funding for the ‘94 /95. Instead, there will be a one-percent increase in funds to the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. How thi6 will affect the funding levels of individual universities or exactly where this increase will end up, is not vet clear, however. dLaughrkn also revealed that tuition will rise $132, a seven-percent increase, next year. Universities were previously expecting a five per cent increase in tuition keaction to these announcements have been mixed, however. UW Federation of Students President Dave Martin, while admitting that the grant cuts will hurt low-income students, believes that in terms of money available, the new situation will be better.

The Dana Porter Library was evactuated earlier this week due to a fire scare. On Tuesday afternoon, while students and staff quietly went about their business at the library, the main fire alarm control panel registered a pulled fire alarm on one of the first to third floors. Subsequently, the building was evacuated while security and fire departments were called in. Fire Wardens and firefighters entered the building to search out the cause of the alarm while students and staff gathered by the front steps. Eventually, the all clear was given and the library was re-opened for business. The cause of the alarm, however, was not to be found on any of the first three floors, said Lorraine Beattie, the Coordinator of Admisnistrative Services at the Dana Porter. The problem arose out of the renovations underway on the fifth floor. A contract worker connected or disconnected something that shouldn’t have been, Beattie said. This oversight, coupled with the malfunctioning of the control panel, which registered the problem on the wrong floor, caused all the confusion.

He also stated that the Fed will push for a higher ceiling on student loans, so that in some cases students could receive more than the $6, 570 - up to “nine or ten thousand.” Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) President Ken Craft, however, believes that cuts in grant availability will mean great decreases in accessible education. “I can see five to ten per cent of students dropping out next year because they simply can’t afford to go to university,” Craft

The trial of several women arrested last summer at topless rallies began on November 23 and continued to November 24 to hear all of the women plead not guilty. Toronto lawyer Clayton Ruby is defending the five adult women charged, as he thinks it is an important constitutional issuk When_~inauirine as to exactly what ‘part “of the female breast is considered “indecent” to expose, Clayton found no one able to provide an adequate response. “I cross-examined the . senior police officer about that,” said the lawyer, “and he wasn’t really able to say, but the fact is in practice that the police decide.” “The problem with that being the case is that when you charge women only, and not men, there is an implication that women’sbreasts are somehow dirty, or it’s somehow wrong to have them where others can see them,” he continued. “There is also the implication
that women’s breasts are always sexual, as opposed to being sexual when they want them to be sexual. Women should not be responsible for what somebody else wants to think about their breasts, least of all some cop.” The rallies last summer were in support of Gwen Jacob, a 21-year-

Farcical apology for homophobic banner Anderson stuff
In response to the uproar created last week due to an unauthorized Math Society election banner hung in the main entrance to the Math and Computer Building, the group responsible have issued a subdued letter of outright apology to the Math Society, Gay and Lesbian Liberation of Waterloo (GLLOW), the Computer Science Club, and the University of Waterloo. “We, the creators of mathBOOZE, would like to publicly apologize to any and all individuals or groups which we may have offended during the life of our publication. We would especially like to apologize to GLLOW, the CSC, and ma thSOC,” the letter said. MathBOOZE, the name the group has chosen to be identified with, has published a number of satirical newsletters aimed at MathNews, the official newsletter of the Math Society. Each MathBOOZE “issue” is filled with brainless immaturity and displays an unhealthy disrespect for women, homosexuals, and students in general. The Math Society first became aware of MathBooze in October but no official response was made until the renegade group placed a banner in the Mathand Computer building declaring “Vote MathBOOZE - or be a big fag.” The situation came to light when a member of GLLOW sent an electronic mail letter of protest to the Math Society. Farcical confusion followed as the Math Society lacked the “proper equipment” to take the banner down. As a result it remained in place over the weekend until Plant Operation officials could remove it on Monday, almost three days after the initial complaint. In an act of belated restitution, coming after weeks of shameless and idiotic behaviour, the responsible individuals write “mathBOOZE was created as a joke and has ended as a disgrace to the Faculty of Mathematics and to the University of Waterloo.” None of the responsible members had the integrity or decency to sign their names to either the newsletters they published or the letter of apology, preferring the safe haven of anonymity.
TheFederationofStudentspresented a sunshine financial statement and passed a passle of bylaw changes last Thursday, November 26 at its annual general meeting in the Great Hall of the Campus Centre. The financial statement for the fiscal year ending April 30, 1992 proved what many suspected about former Vice-President, Operations and Finance Steve Millard: that he was a miracle-worker. In his year as VPOF, the Federation showed a bduget turn-around of more than $530,000.

The effect of their apology is, unfortunately, both ludicrous and minimal, wrapped inside their faceless identity. One of the sham posters placed by the group statesd “If elected, we promise to . . . Lower the cutoff entrance mark to 70 per cent for women. If you’ve got more, you can’t get in.” This is heavily laced with pitiful irony coming only one week before the White Ribbon Campaign was set to begin across the country. In a time when archaic attitudes of homophobia and sexism are being fought on every corner, it is sad to
At the end of the previous fiscal year, 1990-91, under the steady hand Tess Sliwinski, the Feds spent $4,269,607 and brought in only $3,946,783, a loss of $322,824. Only one year later, the Feds were able to slash their expenses to $3,774,047 and boost their revenue slightly to $3,982,347 for a net revenue of
The largest drop in expenses during Millard’s year occurred under the category of cost of goods sold (other), which dove from $1,132,588 to $962,507, a difference of over $170,000, The Board and Commission expense plummeted almost $100,000 from $249,082 to $149,847. Salaries and wages were cut back over $80,000 from $923,617 to $813,103. The revenue side of the ledger was led by bar sales, which rose from $1,453,680 in 1990-91 to $1,630,215 in 1991-92. The cash position of the Federation, in terms of bank indebtedness, also had a six-figure turnaround: from $261,523 in the red to $51,513 in the black. One by-law amendment was withdrawn at the meeting, one concerning Article VII, J of By-Law 1. All of the other by-law amendments published in the November 20 edition of Imprint were ratified without incident.

Kalbfleisch, Dean of Mathematics, plan to meet to discuss what course of action should be followed by the Math Society and the Math Faculty. If they are content with the anonymous apology note, they will be sending a dangerous and damaging signal to their membership ayd the universitjr community. A group like Ma&Booze should have to do more than just produce a blank apology note as a sign of their remorse.

This week, I received a special message from Street Legal’s Eric Peterson in the mail. He wants me to donate money to the White Ribbon Campaign’s “December Fund,” money being collected to educate men on the issue of violence against women. Corresponding to the third anniversary of the Montreal Massacre, the Campaign tells me that it needs my money to finance distribution of white ribbons to more and more Canadian men. indeed, Peterson’s associates enclosed two white ribbons, one for me and one that I should give to another man. The Campaign targeted me, presumably, because I am the editor of a student newspaper and would be able to use my editorial control over the paper to help publicize the Campaign. The fact that I am writing about this at all means that this assumption is a good one. Also, as a member of the university community, it is a safe bet that l am inclined to agree that education of men is the driving force behind changing society’s attitudes toward women. I can appreciate the sentiment, but it still irks me that an organization supported by Canadian celebrities like Peterson is asking me for cash while so many support programs for women are being woefully underfunded. This is especially ironic when the politicians responsible for slashing . funding from social programs -actually help- battered women escape from financial dependence upon abusive partners -- are the same men who have solemnly donned white ribbons this week and will na doubt flock to memorial services this weekend. Thus, if I have a few dollars to donate to a worthy cause this Christmas, why the hell should the White Ribbon Campaign be the benefactor of my meagre resources? A more appropriate target for my donation may be services that support battered women, such as Anselma House or the Sexual Assault Support Centre. Of course, these are institutions which are treating symptoms of men’s violence, while education attempts to treat the problem at its root. Shouldn’t I, therefore, still consider education to be the best longterm solution? This belief rests on one quite shaky pillar: the premise that distribution of white ribbons constitutes education. As a female Imprint staff-member pointed out to me when we were discussing this issue, a man is capable of wearing a white ribbon for six days and going home each night and abusing his wife and children. That is at the root of the White Ribbon Campaign’s weakness: the fact that a ribbon is only a symbol and can therefore be manipulated and lied about. A man can also attend church each Sunday and be a community leader and return home each night to abuse his family. This realization does not solve the debate of which thing more deserves my Christmas donation and my attention all year round, the root cause or the symptom. Clearly, the symptoms of violence against women are so widespread that we cannot simply ignore them and allow the battered women of today to take the brunt of society’s apathy while men take their time being educated about this issue. This Christmas, cut back on your giftbuying excess and pay to the order of Ansclma House or some other support organization.

Wh.ite ribbons aren’t enough I
Are you wearing a white ribbon today? So what do you do when your co-workers or friends ask you what the ribbon is for, and they laugh and ask you how many chicks you’ve picked up because of it? How many of you would follow that comment up? Would you chuckle and laugh it off with them? Or would you say “Violence against women isn’t funny. This is a serious problem, why don’t you learn more about it?” The White Ribbon Campaign, the most prominent of men’s group’s that support women’s issues, have mounted their second annual campaign to educate the ’ public about the prevalence of male violence against women. It coincides with the anniversary of the Montreal Massacre -- the most serious and dramatic display of violence against women in recent years, but no more important than the every day spouse-beatings, rapes, and killings that occur all the time. The White Ribbon Campaign started as a show of male support and understanding for the issue of ending violence against women; after all, if it’s men doing the violence, men should also do something about stopping it, right? I’m glad . . . in fact, delighted, that many of my male friends and many of the men that I see on campus feel strongly enough about the issue to wear white ribbons. Really, so happy, despite the fact that the White Ribbon Campaign was instantly accepted by the media as a driving force in the fight to end violence against women (so what have rape crisis centres and women’s shelters been doing for the last 20 years?), despite the fact that this particular group is now considered to be statistical experts on violence against women (what about rape crisis centres, women’s shelters, etc, etc) and also despite the fact that the White Ribbon Campaign was in existence for several months before

suspect them of abuse; I don’t know how many of you will be able to translate passive symbolism into social activism. It’ll be easy for you to bask in the grateful smiles and encouraging thanks that you’ll get from the women around you - and we will thank you, because after all, we’ve been begging for years for men to listen up and take notice of violence against women -- but please do us the couitesy of going beyond the feel-good symbolism, and do something tangible, something that women will really appreciate. Tell the men around you to stop joking about it -- violence against women is not funny. . Don’t remain silent when you suspect someone you know is being abusive. Get involved. He’s more likely to listen to you that to television commercials or magazine ads. Donate old clothes or books or toys or money (and lots of it) to a women’s shelter; violence doesn’t only affect women, but also their daughters and sons. . Don’t limit your activities to one week in December -- this kind of stuff happens all year ‘round. Please feel free to attend either of these on-campus activities today: the UW Women’s Centre (CC 217) Open House, “Remembering Montreal,” featuring videos, resources, coffee and doughnuts, and an Anselma House clothing drive (there’s your chance) and also commemorative readings and song at 4:00 p.m. As well, the Federation of Students is presenting a memorial service at 590 pm in St. Jerome’s College, Siegfried Hall. White Ribbons will be distributed on campus at Villages One and Two, Renison College and St. Jerome’s College. Show up alone, or better yet, bring a friend. lust be there.

they even bofhmed to liaise with existing women’s groups, or to ask for their opinions on how to fight violence against women. But it’s okay, really, I’m glad. Really. Back to my point: it’s so easy to support the symbol, and easier still ignore the cause.

Forum Reason is its own tyranny To
the
editor,
Of course it was clear that Mr. Thompson’s ~ssic,) article two weeks ago was about intolerance, however whatever the downfalls of organized religion may be (in this case the Catholic church) it does not excuse Mr. Thompson from using the same sort of intolerant attitude. In my listing of the better side of the Catholic church I was not excusing its abuses of human rights, but rather presenting a wider picture of the Catholic church (a point Mr. Thompson seemed to miss). The tone of his rhetoric is as caustic and intolerant as any zealot, religious or otherwise. If we are to point to a better way of living as we approach the next millennium then we must avoid falling into the same patterns of thinking and speaking which gave rise to human rights abuses in the past. Mr. Thompson may have educated us on the sins of the Catholic church, but his rhetoric does nothing to point to a new way. I know how difficult it is to change one’s way of thinking and speaking. Mr. Thompson has done his best to research past article and letters I have written for the Imprint and point out my rhetorical failings (thank you Dave for the reminder). However, my past failings does not prevent me from trying to achieve a balance in both my analysis and critique of the issues around me. Finally, intolerance of a person’s rights and freedoms is repugnant. Whether that intolerance is fermented in a religious context or in some other makes little difference to those who are oppressed. Reason, like any ideology, creates its own tyranny when its believers exclude all other forms of thinking. The ideology of reason may be a superior form of belief in substance, but its form is no different than organized religion’s I see and even appreciate some of the substance of Mr. Thompson’s article on the Catholic church, but the form leaves much to be desired.

editor,
Mental abuse is as real as physical abuse, but is worse because the scars and bruises can’t be seen. It can happen to anyone and by anyone, but the abuser is usually someone that you love because a stranger you can walk away from. It’s so easy for everyone to say “Why do you take that? Why don’t you leave?” I used to think that way -- I don’t anymore. The abuse word starts gradually -- a condescending here, an insult there. You shrug it off, try to justify it to others by attributing it to some outside cause such as a bad day at work or something went wrong with the car. You don’t look others in the eye when you say that because you don’t want to see the look of distrust. He apologizes later anyway so that makes it alright -- sort of. Then it begins to get more frequent. He’s upset if the housework isn’t done, or if something else gets neglected because everytime you begin what he wanted you to do he has something that needs to be done “immediately”. He screams about priorities and begins the guilt trips. He stopped apologizing a long time ago. By this time you can’t get out because you can’t see a way out. Perhaps there are concrete obligations, but the biggest obligation is the guilt. You still make excuses for him, and if he’s upset about something that wasn’t your fault, you have developed the frame of mind that there must have been something else somewhere

because sleep eludes you, and when you do sleep you have nightmares. You lose weight because the knots in your stomach are so tight you aren’t hungry anyway. Your attention span becomes that of a beast that has been broken and you stop even attempting to look good. Decisions are impossible to make because even when you do make them they are likely to be “wrong” even if they are right. You have bags under your eyes that the Glad man or Hefty would pay good money for, none of your clothes fit and your nerves are shot because of all the caffeine you’ve pumped into yourself in the hope of finding enough adrenaline to slug through even getting out of bed. You become depressed. You consider yourself lucky and think that it’s going to be a great day if he even acknowledges your presence in his bed in the morning and didn’t come to bed the night before screaming at you about something even though you were asleep. You cry over commercials -- even the funny ones and the serious ones just about kill you. Perhaps even suicide enters your thoughts. Your family thinks at first you’ve brought this on yourself and to go lie in the bed that you’ve made. It’s all your fault they think - until a long time later when there is not possible way that it all could be caused by something that you did, Is it your fault???? NO!!! I’m 21 and about to graduate from university. The man I loved and agreed to marry was kind, loving and wonderful at first. Then he “changed”. He began to mentally abuse me not long after we announced our engagement and moved in together. The physical abuse entered the picture eventually. For almost 2 years I almost lost everything -- including my mind. But for the wisdom and unmoving support of my family I would still be locked in the relationship unaware that it was abusive. I have found the joys of friendship and a wonderful relationship again and I am also seeking counselling. I will recover. No one deserves to be abused. I wish I had known that a long, long time ago.

editor,
I would like to respond to the letter of Eric E. Hoepp in the November 27,1992 issue of Imprint. I realize that he was insulted and of course that was improper, but he should not have grouped all University shop employees in the same ‘indifferent’ category. I myself work at the Bookstore, and I do not believe that I or any of my colleagues (also including the Gift Shop) are ‘indifferent’ to customers. Also, the managers here do have business sense, and would never insult a customer. Maybe Mr. Hoepp was not referring to the Bookstore, but it certainly seemed like he was including the entire campus in his letter. I would suggest that in the future, he should be more specific when he chooses to voice complaints regarding service at the University shops. @xpeline 3A English

During the past year, the Waterloo FEDS has been working with members from Student Unions of four other Universities in Ontario and representing Waterloo students in what they have called a rational voice regarding the funding of PostSecondary Education. In the process they have removed your representation at the provincial and national levels of the two student organizations that are presently
of
recognized by the present provincial and federal governments. Several weeks ago, the Waterloo Feds in conjunction with these other student unions have released a document tinder the name the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance, outlining a proposal for funding of post-secondary education by the provincial government. In this document they call for the government to raise tuition 30%, increase transfer payments 80% and to change the current OSAP system (which is not so current anymore) to a total loan system. Your executive has done all of this claiming that they are repraenting all Waterloo students. However, I find it difficult to believe that if posed the question, that Waterloo students along with the rest of the students in Ontario would support the ideas contained in the document. I hope therefore that you, the students of Waterloo, will speak out against the actions taken by the Waterloo Feds which will inevitably lead to the entrenchment of post-secondary education in our society as an elitist and inaccessible institution. Yours in student solidarity, Cctssundra President Lakehead

Leave prejudices the door To the
at
Over the past few weeks I have witnessed a number of potentially belligerent incidences among some of the cultural groups on campus. It saddens me to see people in a university community expressing hostility towards one another. In a utopia the inhabitants would leave their prejudices at the door. I am happy that our campus has not succumb to the violence that other campuses in ‘Ontario have been exposed to recently. To say we are not heading in this direction may be misleading. One of the Federation of Students’ mandates is to respect the opinions of all those who respect the rights of others. As a result of hostility there has been unauthorized posters put up by a non-sanctioned group on campus. This group has somehow obtained a copy of our stamp, and for this reason the poster is being overlooked by the people who monitor our boards. To see them up offends me personally (because I screen all posters) but not nearly as much as it offends the groups at which these posters have been targeted. There will be people that argue with me about my naivety towards these beliefs and atrocities. They may very well be right, I can not truly feel the hurt, pain and anguish they feel. I suppose my view is similar to that of a young infant watching its parents fight for the first time, and not understanding the yelling and screaming. It upsets me to see people acting on aggression, instilled by their parents and generations long past. It is not the role of the Feds to take a stand on issues concerning cultural, ethnic, or religious beliefs, but rather to respect the uniqueness of each group. Is it too much to ask that we co-exist in peace? As a diverse group of people we should be able to come together as students and appreciate the differences that make us all unique.

end of the game and this guy decided he didn’t have time to go to the washroom so he took a piss onto the bar wall. How could anyone be so idiotic! This event brought not only himself down (assuming that an event of this type was his first) but he also brought the leadership image portrayed by the Feds down. This was a party for supposedly the leaders of the school community, if he is a leader I would certainly not like to meet his followers. The service personnel do not need to put up with this kind of shit, there job was hard enough serving up a meal for close to 450 people. This person knows who he is and if you thought you could get away with it, think again. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who saw you and who now knows what you did you pig!

the
editor,
On Sunday, November 29, the Federation of Students held their annual Christmas dinner in Fed Hall. Being part of the Feds, I went and I was having a really good time until I was in an extremely uncomfortable situation. A guy around the age of 25 was standing by the bar with his buddies watching the Grey Cup Game. He suddenly undid his pants and promptly pissed on the bar wall commenting that the bathroom was too far away and the game was still on. Needless to say, I was disgusted. I left the situation knowing full well that I could do nothing about it. If I had told a bartender, they would have just thrown him out, that’s all. The poor Federation Hall staff had to clean up his mess. I want this person to know that it wasn’t just his buddies who saw. About 5 or 10 others witnessed your gross act. But, I think that you really don’t give a shit what I or others think. Guys like you pride yourself by being noticed. All I can say is that I hope that when you’re in a bar sometime, someone pisses on you, you big pile of worthless shit. You deserve what you get.

Villages say thanks To
the
editor,
Two weekends ago was a recordbreaking weekend for those in Village One and Two. Thursday, November 19 was the wrap-up day for the Villages’ fundraising for Anselma House. This concluded with a Guinness world record setting by a Don in Village Two. Marnie Soloneka, with the support of many residents, pushed herself to set a new world record for aerobic stepping in one hour. Her final count was 2,698 steps after 60 minutes, shattering the previous record of 1,467 steps by more than a thousand. The following night saw another record broken during the Benefit SemiFormal. All previous attendance records were broken when 805 people took part in the glamorous ending of our fundraising campaign. With good food on the menu and Glider providing the music, the night was a great success. One of the more important events that

occurred Friday night was the drawing of the winning B.S.F. raffle tickets. The firstplace winner of a trip for two to Daytona is Dean Philipchuck of Village One. The second prize consisting of four Via Rail passes was won by Guy Carleton of Village Two. The third prize, a colour TV, was won by Hilda Lee in Village One. A Raleigh hybrid mountain bike was the fourth prize and it was won by Ev Courtney of Mississauga.
It seems strange to me to write an article on how Christianity began on earth. It seems strange because much of the history of the Christian church seems to have had little to do with peace and good will among people. Instead, I see a faith which has been tarnished with intolerance, large-scale cultural destruction and incredible bloodshed. I see the witch hunts in Europe, the Inquisition, the Crusades and the conquest of the Americas. It is not difficult to become overwhelmed by the horrors and atrocities which have been committed by human beings against each other in the name of religion. It is not difficult to feel ashamed of such a heritage, and I can understand the tendency to want to reject it entirely. A5 a Christian, Christmas is a time which forces me to ask many questions and to search for the true meaning behind the Christmas story. This questioning reflects a deep yearning to find the relevance of the message to today’s world, as well as a strong desire to be moved to acts of love, kindness and charity. Such acts seem to embody what Christmas is all about, for the story tells of God’s gift to the world of the child, Jesus Christ. From this act arises the tradition of giving gifts to friends and family, often as a way of saying “I love you,” or to express appreciation. But how many of us follow the example of God’s giving, in which we also give to the poor, the powerless, to
of a child those who cannot repay our gifts? Is not this kind of giving also an integral part of the true meaning of Christmas? The need is clear and strongly felt in these days of growing demand at food banks, and a shortage of beds in women’s shelters -- one of the few places our society provides to protect the victims of domestic violence. In the Christmas story, an angel is sent to shepherds to proclaim the good news of the birth of Jesus. I wonder to whom God would send the angel today? I wonder if it would be to students, professionals, or religious people. Or would it be to the poor, perhaps even to prostitutes or the “bums” who live on the street? The message of Christmas is supposed to be one of hope and great joy. It is a message which should bring reconciliation among ail peoples, especially Christians, who often focus so strongly on differences instead of on that which unites us. The message of peace and good will is one which needs to be heard in this world of ours, a world which struggles with wars, terrorist activities and difficult economic conditions. God said it two thousand years ago by sending a baby into the humblest of conditions. As Christmas approaches this year, how will we say it? t3ruce

Don’t want to read Peter Brown’s personal opinions. -- I like the serious look and approach without being condescending or overbearing. It carries an atmosphere of shared interests. -- Your coverage is too biased; most of your ‘articles’ should be called opinion columns or commentaries.

-- What about weekty satirical column?” 0” Fireside guy rambles a bit And tell him that cigars smell. 3. Pete Brown sounds like a big whiner. (Not that there isn’t a lot to whine about) and Atwal is off the pretentious-o-meter. -- Occasional whiffs of the editors not liking criticism but they do seem very fair, -- The opinion articles are poor, must be more carefully thought out.
Arts: -- Too many record reviews. How about some film reviews -- from Princess, UW Film Society? mmI question the usefulness of booklrecord/film reviews . . . esp, in a written form -- opinions of these are a very personal thing! -- Needs much more mainstream -- but I don’t care what you did before and after the show. -- Try to broaden your audience by reviewing different types of music, more films. -- Some of your “rating guide” can be “sick” (I am not some tight-ass concerned with “decency”, but what’s the point? mmPerson(s) who writes “Arts Rating Guide” should see a professional for help! mmI’m a big film fan, but I can’t seem to be able to find any useful film information in the Imprint. How about showing what movies are playing? -0 I feel that the content of this section does not appeal to the majority of the student body, but if the only people who want to write are into alternative music, so be it - It would be good to make people more aware of what concerts are coming, not only those which.have been. mmNeed more record reviews of Canadian bands. -- The Arts Rating Guide is the most morbid, disturbing set of five sentences, It serves only to bring down the reputation of the paper. Idon’t find it humourous in the least. -- Focus too strong on EP-length discs, not always a favourite way to spend money. -- This is the best part of the paper!

NOTVALIDWITHANY OTHEROFFERS
Last Thursday, November 26, the NDP government at Queen’s Park announced its latest attempts to rectify the massive deficit problem that they helped to aggravate. The result? The Ministry of Colleges and Universities reneged on their 1991 promise of a two-percent increase in transfer payments for the following three fiscal years, and the eliminated the grant portion of OSAP, routing the money into more loans instead. The immediate impact of this is a seven-per-cent rise in tuition: your basic tuition fee will rise by $66 a term to $963. Of course, OSAP will “cover” this, said Minister of Colleges and Universities Richard Allen - until you graduate that is, at which point you’ll have to cover it all yourself. Gone are the days when you could count on receiving part loan, part grant; now you will just receive a loan(probably euual to the totalvou received befoie), unless you get more than $5,570 a year. If that’s the case, you would only have to pay back the first $5,570. The rest is courtesy of the government, up to an absolute maximum of $6,570. Worried that you won’t be able to pay it all back once you graduate? Don’t worry -- the government is thinking of installing an “incomecontingent” loan repayment scheme. Sounds good, right? After all, this is the system that OUSA (the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance), our Feds, and numerous other groups have been pleading for. Except that the government’s help will extend only for 18 months after graduation, giving you (debt)loads of time to pay back that maximum debt of, what? $22,280? (four years times $5270/ year). There are mitigating factors, of course. The amount of money available for OSAP loans has increased from $668 million to $800 million, so more people can get more loan money. There are a large number of bursaries and special grants for people with “special needs”: people including single parents, Aboriginals, and francophones. And don’t worry about the increase in tuition, because “OSAP will cover the . . . increases.” Wow. Imagine that: the govemmentwillloanyouthemoney to pay the higher fees they are extracting from you. The justification for this, Richard Allen would quickly point out, is the tight fiscal times Ontario is in, referring to the steadily decreasing revenues of the province as the culprit. I “[There J is no way we can continue” to fund the universities as they have been in the past, he said. Besides, the Federal government has “drastically capped” the transfer funds to the province, depriving them of $3.5 billion that they had planned on. The logical inference, he feels, is to “engage [the universities] in activities” to help plan for
less money. Allen refused to predict what the future may bring for OSAP or transfer payments. Themoney “isn’t there, won’t be there next year, [or in] the foreseeable future,” so it is pointless to try to project. The transfer payments will increase by two per cent next year as promised. The following year, however, there will be only a one-percent increase instead of the expec ted two per cent. “We never give to each institution an unspecified block of money . there are different ‘envelopes,’ we call them,” he said. These envelopes, such as Northern Grants, Bilingual Grants, and funds based on the number of Arts and Science students enrolled at the institution, determine how much money they receive. The
toward income contingent isequally inexcusable. Coming from an organization which advocates zero tuition fees in a time when the rest of the student organization world want the opposite, however, these comments don’t hold much weight. To quote a noted authority on the issue: the OFSneeds to enter into the “universe of accep table possibilities.” But then again, the only thing which interested Ken Craft more than the fact that OUSA supports income contingent loans, is the fact that Imprint editor-inchief (that noted authority) Peter Brown supports OUSA for being within that said universe. While we would agree that OUSA is being slightly (but just slightly) more realistic in dealing with the government than the OE, we do see difficulties with income contingent loans. In the same way that Richard Allen attempts to calm our fearsofnotbeingable to afford school by the glossy statement ‘QSAP will cover it,” things seem all to0 pretty __ when OUSA tells us that income contingent loans will allow you to repay your loans as you are able to. What OUSA fails to point out is that you will not have a choice to take loans or not. Certainly there will be the possibility for students to pay their tuition up front, but with the mammoth (approximately 25 per cent) tuition increases across the board which would accompany this repayment plan, nobody (certainly not us) will be able to afford tuition in the first place. You can pay back your loan at your leisure, but you’ll be damned if you don’t want a loan in the first place. The only option left, if you are to escape your debt, will be to go on welfare for the 15 years the government gives you to pay back your loan. Perhaps the most interesting entertaining aspect of the whole shift in funding methods is the way everybody is patting themselves on the back for their leadership. Last week, UW president elect James Downey praised OUSA as “true student leadership” for taking initiative in presenting a workable funding model for Ontario students. Never mind the fact that the Council of Ontario Universities (the official university administration organization) also proposed the same plan. Never mind the fact that the new plan would see students pay substantially more for their education. Never mind the fact that the government will be loaning the vast majority of students this money, with interest, to pay for said education. Think about this: “Students are finally presenting realistic, workable solutions, and we’re pleased to see the government responding,” Rick Martin of OUSA has said. Boy, we students sure are smart for playing into the hands of the university administration and the government. Now we’re getting somewhere. where can we sign up?
Let% all pat ourselves on the back, we’re doing a great job. Three cheersfor OUSA, OFS, the -NDP! _- - -

universities must compete for the money, and, as Allen put it, “at the end of the day you tally everything up,” dividing the funds according to the various needs universities can convince the government that they have. Allen was also quick to point out that the government still covers about 80 per cent of the cost of a universityeducation.“[T]henotion that there are no grants tends to disguise at least the notion, or hide the fact that the government is by far the biggest contributor to [a university education].” He readily admits that there will be higher tuition fees, but maintains that the increases amount to a rise of “less than two per cent” in their total costs at university, and would not in any way discourage students from attending. “The amount of debt that an individual might build up on average would be higher, but your global cap is still the same, so you can’t incur more debt than you have now,” he said. Federation President Dave Martin disagrees with Allen about the impact of the higher tuition. He feels that the removal of OSAP grants “places the burden on lowincome students,” though it is probably better for middle-income students. To help students, the Feds will “continue to work on” gaining “automatic,” full-tuition loans for students, regardless of their need. They will also push for a reinstatement of grants from the government, and a raise in the “cap” on OSAP aid from the current $6,570 to between $9,000 anti $10,000 for “an average student.” Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) president Ken Craft, on the other hand, sees the government’s actions as completely inexcusable. “We
[the OFS]
are completely
shocked and appalled by the NDP’s unprecedented assault on accessible quality education,” he said, adding that the government’s moves

Hawks, hockey
swoop on Warriors
UW wins Sunday chaser over Lancers and drops to number three in nation by Peter Brown Imprint sp0rts With hindsight, Don McKee’s comments before last Thursday night’s tilt between the Warrior hockey squad and cross-town rival Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks seem eerily prescient. “It’ll come down to the team with the special teams winning the game,” Waterloo’s head coach said. Laurier downed the Warriors 7-5 last Friday night, powered by a 4-1 second period that saw Waterloo squander a pair of two-man advantages (the second even had stretch of 20 seconds when one of the three WLU defenders had no stick). True, Waterloo did have two power-play goals to Laurier’s one, but they should have had a lot more, with WLU being penalized 19 times to Waterloo’s 13. The anticipated offensive showdown started to emerge in the third period, with each team scoring three times. Rebounding from their first loss of the season, Waterloo skated to a flat 7-4 win over the Windsor Lancers on Sunday afternoon to bring their record to 8-1-1, now three points behind the OUAA West-leading Guelph Gryphons, who throttled the UQTR Les Patriotes 10-3 on Saturday. The Hawks, with their 7-3-O record, lie three points back of Waterloo and are tied with the Western Mustangs (6-2-2). Team-leading scorer John Spoltore paced the Hawk attack with
a hat trick, including two thirdperiod markers that put the game away. With four points on the night, Spoltore vaulted past UW’s Troy Stephens to become the OUAA’s leading scorer. Barry Young opened the scoring for Waterloo with a power-play goal seven minutes into the game, set up by Steve Schaefer and Greg Allen. Waterloo’s slim lead survived until 50 seconds into the second period, when Laurier captain Mark McCreary evened it up at 1-1. UW jumped ahead again five minutes later when Dean MacDonald fed John Williams, who battered the puck home. Laurier replied with three straight goals to take a 42 lead into the final frame. The third period saw the offensive explosion continue, with Laurier scoring early again, this time 48 seconds after the opening whistle. Waterloo pulled within two goals again only 38 seconds later as team scoring leader Stephens got the marker, assisted by Steve Schaefer and Greg Allen. ’ Again, the see-saw battle turned in favour of the Hawks as Spoltore netted his second goal of the period, his third of the game. The Hawks looked as though they would cruise to victory leading 6-3 with under seven minutes remaining, but the Warriors were determined to make it interesting. UW’s Cory Keenan scored on the power play with 614 left to play and Jason Mervyn added another
with only 3% remaining, to pull the Warriors within one goal. Less than a minute later, Don M~onnell put the game away for the Hawks for the final 7-5. Sunday afternoon, Waterloo’s John Wynne got the puck rolling, scoring on Windsor only one minute intothefirstperiod.Wynneassisted on three other Waterloo goals in this game. The Lancers’ Kevin Forrest answered only seconds later to tie the game. Jason Mervyn’s power-play marker at 3:25 put TJW ahead for good and Waterloo went on to outscore the Lancers in each period (3-2,2-l, and 2-l). Keenan’s goal and two assists gave him four points on the weekend and earned him UW’s male athlete of the week award. Mervyn had hyo goals and an assist, while Steve Woods added one of each as well. Waterloo finished off the fall portion of the 1992-93 campaign last night in Toronto against the 4-30 York Yeomen. They next see action in the new year when they travel to Prince Edward Island for an exhibition tournament. Their next league games come on the road against two strong OUAA East teams: the 7-3-O Ottawa Gee Gees on Saturday, January 9 and the 3-32 UQTR Les Patriotes. After visiting the division-leading Gryphs on January 14, the team returns home to Columbia Icefield on Sunday, January 17 to play the Badgers of Brock (2 p.m.).

Kraemer, a two-time OWIAA all-star, is being honoured for her play in the Athenas’ 46-34 victory over the visiting Guelph Gryphons. As usual, she was a key player both offensively and defensively. She was the tbp scoring Athena with 13 points, recording seven of the team’s ten steals, and pulling down 11 rebounds, a category in which she remains the over-all team leader. The Athenas, now 3 -1 in league play, will train in Florida over the Christmas break in preparation for their home doubleheader against Lakehead on Friday, January 8 and Saturday, Ji)nuary 9,1993.

Waterlot: I bids farewell to gridiron saviours by Rich imprint
be the same without the athleticism and persistent determination of Tom Chartier or the intense, emphatic leadership of Jeff Lake, You could argue that the departure of graduating players is a factor for most sports teams every year. But with the likes of Chartier, Lake, Futyer, DePalma, and Daughton, this also marks the end of an era in Warrior football. These players, under the coaching tutelage of Dave “Tuffy” Knight, saved a &umbling
Nickal spofts
Only one thing would please Warrior football stars Tom Chartier and Jeff Lake more than the hardware they collected at last Thursday’s Warrior football banquet. And that bne thing is a chance to play in the Canadian Football League. Both players have proven themselves as two of the top players in the nation over the past five years. Char tier, a three time All-Canadian tailback, rushed for over 1,000 yards in two consecutive seasons and finished his five-year tenure at Waterloo as the all-time leading rusher in OUAA conference history. Meanwhile, Lake, a unanimous OUAA first-teamall-star linebacker in 1991 and 1992, led the Warriors in tackles in each of the last two seasons and displayed an intensity for the game never before seen on Waterloo turf. Shockingly, both players were somehow overlooked in the CFL draft last winter, but are eligible to be picked up as free agents by any of the eight clubs for training camps this coming June. Getting back to the banquet itself, Lake took Warrior football Most Valuable Player honours, capping off a season in which he led the team with a career high 61 tackles (43 of those unassisted) in just seven games. The 6’0” 230 Ibs London native also amassed 11 QB sacks, 6 hurries, and 17 assists. “I felt that Jeff deserved this more than anybody,” said Waterloo head coach Dave “Tuffy” Knight after the banquet. “Laker played extremely well, especially in the big games. The bigger the game, the bigger he came out with outstanding plays.” Meanwhile, Chartier, a 5’10” 195 lbs pint-sized powerhouse from Oshawa, received the Coaches Award for leadership and contribution both on and off the field. This award was voted on by the Warrior coaching staff. In his final

year with the Warriors, Chartier surpassed Andy Cecchini as the top career rusher in OUAA conference history, setting a new precedence of 3,437 yards on 578 carries, averaging almost six yards per run.. Third-year defensive end Brad Harris captured the Doug Shuh Award as the Warrior Outstanding Lineman. The6’6” 230 lbs. Innisdale High School product from Barrie led all linemen in tackles and assists this past season, despite having to play four of the seven games with a cast on his arm. Rookie of the Year honours went to wide receiver Adrian Theme. He led all receivers with 212 yards on 11 receptions, averaging 19.3 yards per catch. The 6’1” 170 Ibs native of Montreal finished second in kick return yardage (145) and third in all-purpose yardage (365).
The evening marked the end of many fine football careers at Waterloo for those players who have played out all five years of their eligibility in CIAU football. Among the departing veterans is two-time
first-team all-star safety Steve Futyer, who finished second on the team in tackles in 1991 and 1992. The hometown St. Jeromes High School Product anchored one of the best secondary units in the CIAU. Also leaving is nose tackle Ross DePalma. He started in all of his five years here at Waterloo, moving from defensive end to the nose position in his final year. DePalma wasamong thetearnleadersinsacks this season. Mississauga native Greg Daughton was instrumental in revitalizing a previously porous offensive line. Despite his tremendous size (6’4”, 235 lbs), Daughton had the mobility and hands to prove himself at the tight end position in his fifth year. Mike Raynard transferred to Waterloo after two years at EdinboroughPA as an NCAA Division II All-American. Raynard finished second in punting in the CIAU in 1991 and second in the OUAA in 1992, achieving0UAA second-team all-star status both seasons. The dressing room just won’t

Campus As the end of term has arrived, C-R programs have ended and it is now time for final reports and stats. Instructional Programs by Laura Donnelly Cqordinator
Report
The instructional programs went very well this term. Tennis, squash, skating, and self-defense all had a full number of participants. As the term was ending, fewer participants showed, which was unfortunate. I hope everyone was pleased with their lessons, and I hope to see more people participating in the winter term. Great work guys! Special PrQjectS by Robin Modler CQQrdinatOr The fall series of L.I.F.E. narswentsmoothlyandparticipants

Recreation learned a lot about fitness and their general well-being. Two of the four seminars were body measurement workshops which gave the participant a chart of their body mass index, waist to hip ratio, and skinfold measurements. We also had a nutrition seminar in October where a dietitian discussed healthy eating both to lose weight and to assist in training. In November, we held a foot care seminar. We would like to thank everyone who turned out to support the program. See you next term for another series of seminars.

Results
Strong spirit and ahighlevelof competition characterized intramural ice hockey this year. A total of 40 teams squared off in six divisions; one division of ‘A’ league teams, four divisions of ‘B’ league teams and one division of ‘C’ league teams. Each team had five league games to show their stuff and earn a playoff berth. The playoffs consisted of a single knockout format with the highest ranking team or teams receiving bye to the second round. ‘A‘ and ‘C’ league teams faced
Men’s Volleyball Report by Tarnmy Webster Convenor This season has been a smash. With the exception of a few scheduling glitches, all went well. We had a total of 40 teams in two leagues. No one seemed to pick up on my bizarre humour for naming the leagues as volleyballs, but that’s okay. The champs this year are as
off against divisional rivals while in the ‘B‘ league the teams where ranked from 1 to 36. When the dust had settled, ArcticTundraemergedas’A’league champions defeating the Bandits 41 in a hard-fought, action-packed thriller at the Columbia Icefield. In the top ‘B’ division Sigma Chi won in rather disappointing fashion by default over Moist. Sigma Chi pulled the upset of the year however, by defeating the heavily favoured Dawson Dawgs in a shoot out in first-round action. ‘B2’ division was won decisively by the Molson Monkey Spankers as they crushed Aretinafovea 3-O. Division ‘B3’ was another hard fought battle as the Redmen skinned the Clime&s 4-1. The final match up between ‘8’ level teams saw Don’s Cherry’s squaring off against the Codsquad. The result was doomsday for the Godsquad as Don’s Cherry’s reigned supreme with a 6-4 victory. ‘C’ league action heated up with thecloselymatchedI%spuckerstak-
ing on the Old Jersey Devils and as the wee hours of the morning approached, so did victory for the Paspuckers as they triumphed 2-l. Another rough and tumble Intramural Ice Hockey season has come to an end. I hope to see you all next term. Good luck to everyone with exams and may Santa fill the opposing teams net with pucks!

Oh,.You Exhibitionist PJ Harvey 7ke op??a Huuse November 29,1992
It was an incredible relief to watch someone whohad something of relevance to communicate. It is that relief that must have led to the ecstatic yell from within the pit at the Opera House, “Outstanding...” Harvey and ‘her work embody a definite androgynous feel and attitude. She grew up in a small English town, the only girl around for miles. In her songs she is able to question as passionately, the male experience as she is the female experience. She is sarcastic about both, but never diminishes or degrades either reality.

Polly Jean Harvey could not be more contrary to the image she masterfully presents in the song “Dress”. As the song progresses, the woman is left empty trying to please a man. She should have gone to the show on Sunday night. She would have been left anything but empty. Harvey is simple, direct and straightforward. She walked through the front door of the @era House, through the crowd and on stage. simple and no fuss. With an occasional shy smile shared with the audience, and her band members, drummer Rob Ellis, and bassist Stephen Vaugh, Harvey delivered an hypnotic performance. The stage was bare. She did not jump, move, dance, writhe on the floor she stood, played her guitar and sang. It was incredible. I lay it all at your and.. .He said Sheela-NaGig exhibitionist In an interview

I stumble in and in/You fit me with thoseangel wings..,/Come on boys let’s push it hard.../Victory... P.J. Harvey’s performance, supporting their first release Dry, was focused and brilliant, not unlike the release itself. They only played one set, and although we all waited and made noise through the roadies taking apart the stage, one set was perfect. In retrospect, it seemed a part of the straightforward nature of Harvey and the band. “come

tions that matched, if not surpassed the intensity Harvey felt listening to Cave, Dylan or Patti Smith. In the same Spin article she cites Smith’s delivery as what characterized her performance, and it was Harvey’s delivery that distinguished her from everyone, including Patti Smith.
Another set would have been analogous to looking through Madonna’s Sex, unnecessary. P. J. Harvey does not need such “additives” to distinguish their performance from others or categorize it as brilliant. How could jhat not be relieving, astonishing, and, “outstanding...”
Darlings and Danish Delight Droves Mary’s Danish w/ The Darling Buds The Born Melter November 30,1992 by 8ernad Kearney Imprint staff It seemed fated. Last Monday night’s double bill of L.A.‘s Mary’s Danish and Welsh band The Darling Buds was very nearly a no go. Gretchen Seager, one half of the vocal section for Mary’s Danish was suffering terribly from a lingering cold which had forced off the stage after only three songs in TO last Saturday night. Add to this poor ticket sales for the gig here in Waterloo, and you pretty much had all the ingredients for a big fat cancellation. Thankfully, this was not to be the case. The Monday night of the last week of classes is not exactly waterfront property in the big Florida real esta te of concert dates. I’m more surprised that no one attended the show with textbook in hand. Needless to say the turnout was. . . well, intimate. Marking their debut in Canada this tour, Waterloo was privy to The Darling Buds’ second ever Canadian performance. Erotica is their third and most recent recording, and the one from which they sampled heavily. It is rare that an opening act can enjoy the sight of people dancing to their music, instead of witnessing it by looking

over their shoulders as they leave and the DJ kicks in. Partly through the set, the I3uds finagled their way into the hearts of Wedding Present and New Order fans alike, when in mid-song, they segued into “Kennedy” and since I’m not a New Order fan, who gives a twopenny fuck what else.

through Canada sometime in the spring, so keep your hot buns crossed. To anyone in attendance, Mary’s Danish clearly had their work cut out for them. And work they did. There was dancin’-aplenty from start to finish as Gretchenand Julie Ritter traded and combined vocals to swoon theaudience with cherubic melody, heavenly and celestial. On an extensjve
tour in support of their latest, American Standard, they quickly proved that they were anything bu t. Mary’s Danish may be from Los Angeles, but musically, their sound does little more than sample very lightly from the grunge and hyper funk the West coast has become famous for. Opting more for a straight ahead rock sound, they handily managed to switch to and fro in tempos without losing energy and atmosphere. Leaving pretension where it belongs, LA, the sextet, opted to play on rather than exit stage and wait for the well deserved encore cheer. On the album, “Sister Shade” isan eight minute track, 100% Grade A Beef material for self indulgent solos, in a live context. It’s always a bad sign when the lead singers leave the stage to sit down on the sides. Well, thankfully it fell shy of selfindulgence thanks to the genuine and animated playfulness of guitarists David King and Louis Gutierrez, bassist Christopher Scott Wagner and drummer James Bradley Jr. It is rare that you get a double bill to complement, even rarer to find that you enjoyed both bands equally. Monday was just such a night. Then I woke up in a cold, beading sweat. At the forefront my shrinking brain, the image

of my English prof paper cutting my dilated pupils with my overdue

This is is, the last hip haps of the year. 1’11 try and fill you in on the shows in and around campus {as if you’re going, study weasels) and hopefully wrap up the year without any smarminess (well there’ll probd ably be a little). Tonight, the Volcano kicks off its series of Friday night concerts with ska favts Skaface. December 1 lth it’s Look People, December 18th Forgotten Rebels, and on Saturday December 26th it’s a “Boxing Day Blow-Out” with Homecoming champions Bourbon Tabernacle Choir. Look for the ad in this week’s Imprint for $2.00 off the admission price. Hopefully the Volcano will be successful in their attempts to promote local/indie bands and promote the areas music scene, giving bands like Out of This Came That and. WarWagon a chance to show their stuff to a wider audience. In Toronto, new aggro-flavour of the month Kyuss get set to rock the Rivoli with Monster Voodo Machine. Those who like their music loud and loud get there early. Meat Best Manifesto roll into town Sunday at the Opera House. After cancelling a date already, their legions of fans will be glad to see them make a triumphant return off a highly successful world tour. Orbital and Ultramarine are the lucky openers. Jesus Lizard and Arc Welder are at the Opera House next Friday, hopefully I’ll have the $$ and the time to see ‘em. Well, at least Arc Welder whose latest single “Raleigh” has been on my heavy rotation list for some time. For those who like their music bland and uninspiring, EMF will bk at the Opera House tomorrow, with WHAT? With WHO? It’s Teknicolor Raincoats! Well howdya like that! You figure they’d give us a bit more warning than that. I mean, when was the last time the ‘Coats played in fair T.O.? Well, we’ll just have to wait with baited breath until the ‘Coafs make their way back to this side of the street. In case you didn’t guess I was being sarcastic. I’ve yet to see a fucking NOW that doesn’t have the Teknicoior Raincoats opening for someone. Tuesday December lSth, Bob Dylan’s son-in-law Peter Himmelman plays at the El Mocambo. Monday December 2 lst, gangsta-tuff-muthas Body Count featuring IceT play Ticketmaster with Exodus, D.R.1 and Pro-Pain. Word. Hindu hate gods the CroMags play the Opera House on December 4th with Lizard and next heirs to the Beastie Boys throne, the wickedly vicious, viciously wicked Yet Another Posse. From what I hear, every girl wants to do them. There are lots of other shows coming,up locally and in Toronto. Check a copy of NOW or the Bombshelter, or the new CKMS guide (I’ve only got the old one.) I don’t have time for this shit, you can look up some
of the bands in other papers too, ya know. Fuck, that’s it. I’ve had it. I auit.

Ice-T takes out the Trash see the new Disney movie Dad? No going to see way, we’re Motherfucking Ice T.) The show started off with four white guys from Pickering who in one word were shit (hard not to use expletives when reviewing Ice T). Imagine if you will a horrific accident where the members of Barenaked Ladies had all of the talent sucked out of them (some might argue that god took care of that), then they were to learn how to become hip hop artists from K-Tel’s “How to Rap” video, that’s what these guys looked and sounded Iike. Next the Syndicate Sniper Donald D came out to warm up the crown for the Syndics te leader. With Evil E on the wheels of steel the enthusiastic crowd started to test the strength of the walls suxrounding the dancefloor and the breaking point of the bouncers. Donald D put on an impressive show highlighting material from his only release and previewing songs from his upcoming release.

D/ Yet Another Posse Trasheteriu, Guelph November Z&l992
by Frank Seglenieks Imprint Staff
It was destined to be a strange evening last Thursday at the Trasheteria: Why was Ice T, who last year sold out the Concert Hall in TO, playing a place that is comparable in size to my bathroom (mind you I have a pretty large ‘lathroom)? Why was the concert only announced a week before? Why is the tour only stopping at Guelph and London? Would it be Ice T as a rapper or with his hardcore band Bodycount? Would anybody be shot? Waiting in line for the second show I got to see the crowd which attended the all-ages earlier show. It was certainly all ages, in particular a father with his son who couldn’t be more than 7 years old. (Can I go
The mosf notable being “CIA (Crack an anti drug song in America)“, about how drugs ruin the lives of people in America. After a short break, Ice T came out and in a foreshadowing of what was to come, his mike didn’t work, ruining his dramatic entrance. He quickly recovered from this inconvenience and went through some of his older hits. The songs were often broken up by equipment failure which lead to Ice T filling the time with spoken word, a good concept, unfortunately as his microphone was on the fritz, only the first 10 people in the audience probably got to hear all of his wisdom. One interlude I did hear, had Ice T saying that any fan of his wouldn’t have an Arrested Development tape in their car. This act has recently gotten down on gangster rappers like Ice T, NWA and Public Enemy for being so negative, Ice T countered by saying that he just writes about what he experiences, if he sees violence in his life, then that is what he has to write about. only one song was played from Ice T’s upcoming released Home Invasion, unfortunate as it would havebeen a logical forum to present his new stuff. As well, the evening was broken up when Evil E came out and rapped for a song while Ice T handled the DJ duties. The dancefloor was a madhouse, I saw two fights break out and a few people forcefully ejected from the bar, and I probably missed a few. The area in front of the stage is very small at the Trash and the more than sold out crowd wanted to get as close as they could, it is easv to see whv temDers would flare.

I hope everybody who was up there was prepared to. be cruShed. The evening ended with Ice T doing a couple of numbers from his latest release Original Gangster, the title track and “New Jack Hustler”, with the final song being “Colours” from the movie of the same title.

cially disappointing was that Evil E started to play “Peel the Caps Back” (one of my favourites) when the turntables went out, when he got it working again Ice T said let’s not do that song tonight. For everybody who were heartbroken that Bodycount didn’t play, you’ll get your chance when they play in Toronto in December.

The Kitchener-Waterloo music is experiencing a boom presthanks in part to Phil’s GrandPlace’s ongoing Wednesday roster of live bands. The latest artists to perform at Phil’s were the Groove Daddys and Paul MacLeod, both of whom used the occasion to launch new cassettes. MacLeod’s is called ?&tart, and he combined its eight tracks with a handful of others, including a cover of Echo & the Bunnymen’s “Ocean Rain.” Those familiar withMacLeod’s work heard the favourites “Sunday,” “Wonderful Colour” and “Green Shoes” in conjunction with the new songs “Campbell’s Summer,” “Local Bus” and “Stuart.” Disappointingly, “Story and Song” was omitted from both the concert and the cassette. MacLeod’s set lasted for about an hour, and he reappeared later to scene ently, son’s night
add accordion to the Groove Daddys’ “Expensive Suits.” The Groove Daddys have established a following similar to that of the Grateful Dead in terms of loyalty. Their fans truly appreciate the musicianship of guitarist Rob Szabo, bassist Paddy Flynn and drummer Jeff Cowell, and always seem to be having fun d’ancing in front of the stage. In my opinion, Flynn’s bass best characterizes the band, but one fan said the vocals, guitar and drums are equally as important. In any case, Flynn sounded crisp and clean as he thumped away funkily. Their cassette is entitled All the bastards you can shakea stickat...LIVE and the highlights of their set, aside from the aforementioned “Expensive Suits,” were “My Home” and the staple, “Superstition.” For the paltry admission price of $3, it was possible to drive the melancholy out of mid-week while supporting two deserving acts. And for another $10 (the selling price of each of their cassettes), it was possible to take a little piece of them home. Good gig.

Ministry Maple Leaf Gardens December lst, 1992 by Vince Kozma imprint staff Fresh from my body, on to the ice. The puck drops here. Alien Jourgensen took his favourite position (missionary) on stage and broughthis Ministry to the Gardens on this, the first day of the month. With his power and drive he drilled the audience with the fast paced action we have all come to expect from this once Japan wannabe group. I must admit, I was kinda crazed and psychotic as a result of a ticket mess at the door and I looked around the Garden’s floor, just wanting to find something to complain about. There were your typical Ministry fans, typical Gardens bouncers and a typical stage. I couldn’t even complain about the cigarette smoke because compared to what I normally encounter in the Gardens, there was next to nothing. Then it hit me, something was missing. My heart started to beat a little faster, I looked carefully through the crowd. The corners of my mouth tightened and my left eyebrow raised. My ticket said I

More importantly, Chris Connelly of the Revolting Cocks appeared perform the lead in “TV II” and several other songs. His voice didn’t unintentionally break once during the set. It was just so thrilling. The fire breather added the final touch to the evening, in that everybody loves a Barbecue, especially if its human flesh. Serves him right for spitting mint flavoured lighter fluid over the audience. 1 don’t have a clue as to what Paul Barker thought of Toronto because he just stood there and played and stood there and played and stood there and played...Mr. Jourgensen seemed to enjoy himself enough, as did the crowd. He wasn’t very chatty, but he isn’t a chatty guy (he was also coming from his gig in Detroit). No big speeches on politics or morals, he came to play and that is what he did. The show lasted just over an hour and a half and seemed to be enjoyed by all. The pit people found the event uplifting and the pushers couldn’t have been happier. A friend once told me that Alien Jourgensen has the heart of a small boy, and that he keeps it on one of the speakers. Well on December 1”’ he poured it out to the crowd, now will someone tell me how to get it out of my hair!

A penny for the Guy? Grant McLennan The orange London, U.K. Thursday November 5th, 1992 by Trevor BIuir special to Imprint “Remember, remember, The fijith uf November; gunpowder, treason and plot; ‘tis well ‘tis not forgot.” Guy Fawkes day, 1992, London, England. Every firework exploding in the night, in our eyes, ears and blood is a mental spark, descendant of a dream of passion that will not out. And what frustration did Fawkes release when they found him and his gunpowder under Parliament where soon would sit King, Queen, Prince and a full House of Lords? From that frustration. . .of course! Reincarnation! And so as I wound my way toward Parliament that fateful night, to fulfil a four hundred year prophecy, little did I know that my fate in turn would be commandeered by another captain. A beggar hands me a paper; G.W. McLennan, ex of the GoBetweens is about to do a one-off solo acoustic gig in the East End. Sod the prophecy! It is now time to party. With McLennan’s back catalogue of Go-Betweens material, not to mention last year’s superb solo debut Watershed, I’m sure the packed-in crowd at the Orange would’ve been more than content for a run through of the recent, the ancient and loved. Historical reference: Toronto, December 15th, 1991 (where, opening for Lloyd Cole, Grant and other Go-Between Robert Forester did just that: a sublime run-through of their individual and collaborative histories.) Just shy of twenty songs in an hour and a half, McLennan spent almost half his time showcasing excellent new material from the forthcoming FirebDy LP. Uncertain song titles include “What Went Ball”, “KickWrong? “, “Fireman’s
ing Song“, “A Tip From Me,” and theastonishing”RiddleintheRain”. Opening the show with the first three of the aforementioned, the crowd wasreceptive,intune,shouting requests for the solo work and sui-prisinglynot Go-Between’s stuff. A single release appears to have been delayed but if my hunch of “What went Wrong?” is right you should order your copy today : McLennan at the height of his songwriting powers. Another new song began something like, “I love my honey so much/I’ve got stings all over my body/I rolled around with her in clover/Until it felt like poison ivy.” As well as the sublime, McLennan with his rhymes covers the delightfully ridiculous bases as well. “Devil’s Eye” from GoBetweens swansong 16 Lovers Lane was a surprise as was “Providence”
,
(from the Jack Frost collaboration with the Church’s Steve Kilbey) and a 15-second tape of “Anarchy in the UK” to preface the encores! You have to admire someone that can get up in front of a few hundred people with only anacoustic guitar and play a solid heart felt entertaining show. At one point, McLennan encouraged the audience to sing along with him on thechorus”Washyourself in the waters of love, ” promising “You’ll feel real good if you do, and I’ll feel even better.” No-one did. Grant got through, regardless, finally raising both arms as if to embrace the crowd. As it grew silent he matter of factly urged: “do it!” And that’s the sort of thing that gets you through. And Fireboy is at the top of my wish-list.

personal reflection. The entire album is a commanding tour-de-force, blending potent vocal stylings with the thrilling crunch of a tight three piece outfit.Therearen’treallyany catchy hooks or memorable riffs, the appeal comes from the ability to assimilate or at least understand the emotional stress of Harvey’s voice, and the reflection of that stress in the music. Harvey on guitar is no less stunning. Her blues background is reflected in the honest attempts to carve out a niche for herself rather than depending upon what’s already been done.

With vocals as powerful as the emotions she sings about, Polly Harvey is heralded as the knew voice of the alternative scene. Musically, the band provides a solid back up to Harvey’s intense, passionate songwriting. She’s been called the 90s answer to Patti Smith. Wrong on two counts. First of all, Patti Smith isn’t a question, secondly, Harvey’s unique vocal style infects her words with a stronger melodic style than Smith’s She works more in the realm of a “traditional” (if anything about Harvey can be considered traditional} singer\ songwriter than the free-verse of Smith. Her debut album Dq is an emotional rollercoaster ride. She moves from the finger-pointing of * 3h My Lover” to the commonplace melodrama of “Dress”. She is

Her guitar is a machine for her to prop up the candid cry of her voice. The slow throbbing sound of her instrument is perfectly offset by her singing, the two play against each other for a balanced climax of style and content most singer/ songwriters can only dream of. moving and poignant on tracks like “Oh My Lover”, yet in perhaps the album’s best track “Sheila-Na-Gig”, she manages to keep up with the heart-altering bass of Stephen Vaughan, her own screamified guitar and the onslaught of Robert Ellis’ drums.
Her direct first person narratives gets the point of her lyrics straight across. There’s no vagueness in appropriated lines like “I’m gonna wash that man right outta my hair“, or in the accusatq Dry, a simple line like “You leave me dry” opens up the possibility of
Formula writing is dead as far as PJ Harvey is concerned, and one can only hope that her next outing with Steve Albini will be able to match the power she has created, and that, it seems, only she can harness.

Back to the Garden is the second in a series of tribute albums by Canadian bands of “great” Canadian artists. And like the Bruce Cockbum album of last year, this .*z+llection suffers from boring, if not lame covers. Apparently, finding “Canadian” artists to pay tribute to was too difficult, and Intrepid records settled on foni Mitchell. Sure, she was born in Canada, but she left for the USA 25 years ago, which makes her about as “Canadian” as Neil Young. There’s little on this album that suggests the artists involved really like Mitchell’s material. Lorraine Scott takes the vibrancy right out of “Big Yellow T&i”, and turns it into sugary mall music. Similarly, former CFNY DJ Hal Harbour’s techno-crap band Funky Bummer, proves you can mold any song to fit the Nineties aesthetic, but that doesn’ttikeitinteresting.Noteven Sloan’s cover of “A Case of You“ rises above the mediocrity of this .olease. Intrepid has promised more tribute albums in the future. Perhaps someone should tell them imitation isn’t the greatest form of flattery. And with imitations as poor as these, I wouldn’t be surprised if Mitchell sued for slander.

I think the title says it all. With an attitude like that, they have to be cool. This is Skatenigs’ first full length release. Previous material consisted of a 12” single on Wax Trax. These guys come out of Chicago’s industrial scene, with ties on the technical side to Revolting Cocks
and Pigface. If your have already become sick of the new Ministry, then this is a good substitute. Thevocals sound almost identical to Alien Jourgensen, although some songs are rap-like: The music is obviously in the Ministry fashion-practically a rip-off. However, some tracks are slower, and less thrashy/industrial. The bass line and guitar riffs are nearly identical to Revco or Ministry. The sampling goes from average to bordering on the hilarious, such as in “Horny for Evil,” which starts out with a guy calling his mother and asking her to talk dirty to him. She hangs up. “Poundsauce” is the most intense track. Heavy guitar riffs, assorted samples, and underwater-
sounding distortion combine to make anyone want to slam themselves into a wall when hearing this. However Ican’t help but think of “Thieves” or “So What?” when doing so; it sounds just like Ministry. Who cares? It kicks ass. These guys don’t have the world’s greatest talent show going, nor any real originality. They have obviously displayed their desire to be just like Ministry, or something like that, and have done it well. A few tracks are more toward the funky side, but end up sounding like the Chili Peppers. In “Loudspeaker,” the irony hits you in the face when

Well these guys are better than Collision, but there are certain similarities which I feel obligated to point out. Like Collision, the Dysfunctions are second hand clones in a pre-established genre of music. Whereas Collision are that rockin’ band that you might hear in some Q-107 Battle of the Bands contest, the Dysfunctions are that Can-Con filling band that you might hear on C.K.M.S. Unlike Collision, the Dysfunctions had the courtesy to print their lyrics over the black and white photo of the band. They deal with important social issues like the plight of women and native peoples and the environment. They are fairly uninspired, see if you notice a pattern to the lyrics that I have chosen from five of (nearly half) the songs off Torn. I.“I BELIEVE IN MOTHER NATURE/I BELIEVE IN THE ALL/I BELIEVE IN MY DIRECTION/WHEN I HEAR MY MOTHER GALL.” 2. “I HAVE SEEN IT IN THE COUNTRY/I HAVE SEEN IT ON THE TOWN/I HAVE SEEN IT 1N THE SUBURBS/I HAVE SEEN IT ALL AROUND.” 3.“SHE SHINES WITH SENSIBILITY/SHE SAVOURS SENSUALITY/SHEOOZESSEXUALITY~ SHE LOVESTHEONE SHE ACHES TO BE.” 4.“1 LOST MY SOUL, I SOLD IT WHOLE/I LOST MY SPACE IN TIME/I LOST MY GRIP ON THE REAL WORLD/I FINALLY LOST MY MIND.” 5. “CITY HIGH RISE, CITY STREET/CITY SWELLS BENEATH MY FEET/CITY BREATI-IING, CITY HEATJCITY SMELLS & KILLS FOR MEAT,” Notice any pattern? alright I’ll do one more but it’s your last chance, we’ll have covered half the album! 6”SOMETHING IN THE REASON/SOMETHING IN THE RHYME/SOMETHING IN THE SEASONS/SOMETHING OUT OF TIME.” Anyonewhoisaregularreader of theToronto Sun’s “PoetsCorner” shouldhavespotted thesimilarities in the songs right away. The Dysfuntions can be commended for their environmentally friendly policy of recycling words. Musically, the Dysfunctions have that Canadian folk-rocky/ earth-muffin kind of sound. They are reminiscent of Spirit of the West, Andrew Cash and that thar sort of thang. The Dysfunctions come from Montreal. The Dysfunctions look like R.E.M. The Dysfunctions mention the Greenpeace Foundation. There are lots of bands just like them. Oh, they’re
far from
the worst
band that I have ever heard (right now I feel like giving that honour to Collision) they’re just really boring.

It’s been nearly two years since the 10,000 Maniacs released any new material. Leader and vocalist NatalieMerchantspentherfreetime travelling around the world, and working in a homeless women’s shelter in New York City. The time off had its requisite positive effects if Our Time in Eden is any indication. The Maniacs’ latest release, an evolutionary rather than revolutionary step, is nevertheless one of the
The Maniacs spelt the Eighties toiling in the shadow of jangly guitar bands without ever sounding like any bands R.E.M. spawned. Merchant continues to eke out her own musical existence, creating accessible pop-like songs without the stupid and mindless lyrics often associated with pop music. Staying away from rhymes and silly refrain, the Maniacs craft some of the most beautiful and intelligent songs of the year. Merchant’s political beliefs are evident everywhere, but they exist at a personal level, and are never preachy nor woodenly ideological.
“Candy Everybody Wants”, a song driven by the horns of Maceo Parker and Pee Wee Ellis. Horns are also featured on the Merchant penned “Few and Far Between”, a song about dealing with emotional baggage, that sounds reminiscent of Sixties Stax recordings, In contrast, “Stockton Gala Days”, “Jezebel”,and “How You’ve Grown” all resonate with the warmth and lushness strings can add to a recording.

Black and white photos, rain and a spacious studios with large windows and a piano are the images I hear in her music. Yes, I said hear Nicky Holland’s songs are like pictures, they create clear visual images in my head, as an artist would, but she is a musician. That means that her songs are powerful and create a warm and comfortable atmosphere which is mellow and subtle but not boring. Mood is the dominant element of her music and it sets the tone for the rest of her songs. If you needed music for a dinner party then this CD is perfect with a bottle of wine and a pot of
Lyrics on this album are powerfulandmovingbuttheydon’tknock you over the head. They are subtle and the topics she discusses vary from failed romances and the reasons why to family and friendships. Piano is featured in all the songs and she makes use of more interesting instruments like trumpets, string arrangements and congas. Her voice suits the instruments perfectly, allowing the two elements to make beautiful music together. She never
overpowers the music and it does not overpower her. Holland is a true musician, you can hear her experience in the music, which flows so naturally. When music sounds this easy to make, the musician must be doing something right. It’s just a delight to listen to at any time of the day or night but it’s perfect for relaxing. Definitely put this CD on your Christman list, and if you haven’t been naughty, then maybe Santa will be nice.

1 guess it’s sort of a shame that it took this long, basically 130 years, for a half decent Canadian band to come along. Yes, I’m skipping over Rush and The Guess Who, Blue Rodeo, etc. etc. Not that they’re all that bad, well I always thought Rush sucked, but they just never did anything for me. Out of my generation basically. There’s no reason for me to listen to the whinings and pinings of thirty years old. Give me the whinings and pinings of twenty year olds dammit. Personally, I think the blame lies with people like me. Take my/ Bernard’s CASBY review. I’m sure that doesn’t foster better relations among Canadian artists, but then I can’t take all the blame.

Dylan’s albums are isolated works, and do not work together to show the progression of an artist. They represent him at very specific points of time. This is more true of hislaterworks,butholds just as true for his material before J&n We&y Hurding. It’s impossible to tell from Planet Waves that he was moving towards something as accusatory, moving and emotionally charged as Blood on fhe Tracks. Likewise, there was no forewaring of Slow Rain Coming in Street Legal. Such is the case with Good As I Been to You. Nothing he’s done in the 80s (or since the early 60s for that case) could prepare his legions for this solo acoustic outing. He hasn’t recorded a solo acoustic album since 1964’s Anothm side of Bob Dylan. More than this, he presents thirteen covers of traditional folk songs. Some will say that this is simply Dylan covering boring old standards in a rather unimaginative way. That’s much more true of something like Nick Cave’s Kicking Against the Pricks. On Gsod As I Been To You, D@n is singing like he actually cares -something he’s been accused of not doing on his recent efforts. He’s singing the songs like he’s got an interest in them. He respects them and their authors, and he wants to do the best job he can. This seems like more consideration than he gives his own work.
they have, and I can’t even play a musical instrument. See while I haven’t made a positive contribution, they’ve made one hell of a negative impact, so overall, I’ve done more, by doing less. See, that’s what I mean. I can’t help it, it’s just the power of the rant. I can’t control it, I’m just an empty vessel, but when that kind of shit happens, my cup runneth over. Well, finally a band I can stand up on a table for and say “I Iike Sloan, and I don’t care who knows it!“. Formed a little over 18th months ago, Sloan have basically proven that when it comes to influences from Chicago, New York, Seattle, and Liverpool, Canadians can take the best of four worlds, blend them together and create a sound unique enough not to be considered derivative, yet structured and (dare I say) comfortable to the extent that they fit into that whole “Alternative” thing. Smeared is a perfect example, at least half the tracks, “Marcus S a i d ‘I , ” S u g a r t u n e II, “Underwhelmed”, “Lemonzinger” and several others are simply wonderful pop songs comparable to any British or American guitar bands. The greatest thing about this band, is that they, and labelmates NirvanaandSonicYbuth,havebeen Traditional folk songs tend to have traditional themes - love, betrayal revenge, the fact that life is tough, love, betrayal, you get the idea. While the themes may not be new, the life that Dylan infects them with is. There’s an ability Dylan has, which is one of his fortes, to use his voice as a medium for the songs’ emotions on a purely visceral level. The long ballads on the album such as “Frankie and Albert”, “Black Jack Davey”, or “Arthur McBride” demonstrate where Dylan derived a style he later developed in songs like “BQots of Spanish Leather” or “Lily Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts”. With an economical use of
words, a full story with vivid characters and realistic situations is presented with passionate singing making it all the more believable, and genuine. This is a warning for those who can only barely stand Dylan’s voice: the harmonica is sparse, and the guitar carries the melody on about half the tracks. Songs like “Sittin’ on top of the World” is built around his voice. The guitar plays pretty much the same riff over and over. His voice is the centrepiece (as it is on most
if not alt of the songs on the album) so those who find his voice

able to maintain an air of insecurity and unprofessionalism amid the fact that Sloan are the only Canadian band to be signed to THE DAVID GEFFEN COMPANY. The hype surrounding the band seems to have had much more of an effect on their audience than it has had on the band themselves. Live, the band manages to extend the songs to their natural breadth. “Marcus Said” seems fairly unrestrained on the album, but live, it takes on an entirely new form. Unhindered by the size of one’s stereo, they can joyfully put some more originality to the tracks and have fun doing it. If Sloan can keep their heads about them and ignore the coming backlash, they undoubtedly have a future wi th them. Besides their own success, they no doubt playeda part in assissting fellow East-coasters Eric’s Trip in obtaining their record deal with Sub-Pop.

devotion, this album has definitely raised my respect and expectations for Dylan. Very, very few artists could pull something like -this off, In many ways, it’s a reminder that he was here before most if not all the musiciansaround today. Hedoesn’t need to follow anyone and the last thing he wants is anyone to follow in his footsteps. With Good As I Been To You, Dylan shows that he has the room now to do what he wants without expectations being levelled against him. The album has the ability to create a sombre emotional mood which for me, is fascinating - that a voice on a recording can actually instill and communicate emotions. Like I said, it’s hard to tell where he’s going from here. There’s no way to tell, but it’s hard not to conjecture that this may be a deep breath he’s, taking to remind him where he’s from so that he can more deeply focus on where he’s going. No body, least of all me is expecting or wanting another Highway 61, it just wouldn’t work, but to hope for another burst of creativity which inspired that album is every Dylan fan’s wish. One thing is for sure, he very probably will never release another album like this. A reminder like this should be savoured and appreciated as a musical interlude, as it

back in the late sixNew York reporter, in typically leftist fashion, pressed Elvis Presley for his opinion on American participation in the Vietnam War. Presley’s response, at once both nervous and deft, raised an interesting dilemma: despite the counterculture-voicings of fellow celebrities, his own preference was to keep personal convictions to himself. He was, afterall, “just an entertainer”. Obviously, Elvis never heard about Rush Limbaugh. Rushton Limbaugh (the Third) is nothing less than an American 1phenomenon. His award-winning xyationally syndics ted radio- talk show (over 530 stations and 13 million listeners) has made him the most popular American radio perties, a strident

sonality since the invention of television. In the past year he’s been featured extensively on CBS’s 60 Minutes and in a substantial Vanity Fair spread. Time and Newsweek artitles have made him a household name in the States, (if altogether anonymous hire), and his “Rush To Excellence” tour of speaking engagements regularly packs multithousand seat arenas. As if he wasn’t already the busiest man in showbiz, he’s now got a nationally syndicated daily TV show, (in addition to the daily radio show), and he’s just released his first book -- the brilliant The Way Things Ought To Be. It’s already an instant bestseller in the States and provides conclusive evidence that should George Bush have employed Limbaugh as the Republican’s election campaign director, as was widely recommended, the presidency would’ve been a lock. Limbaugh’s legacy might be the very redefinition of the term “entertainer” which he has always maintained is his bottom line. He is, in turns and at once, a comedian, an economist, and a social scientist.

respond to radical hypocrisy and expose it. He possesses a deep and not-wholly unfounded belief that the United States is the greatest nation in the history of the world. As such, he will not let special interests, whose objectives go against his conservative ideology, go unchallenged. Well aware of the fallout he often produces, Limbaugh has long encouraged his new audiences to grant him a six-week trial period whereby his thoughts and rhetoric can be more easily delineated from his characteristic performance of satirical bluster which typically infuriates his “compassionate” opponents. Alas, in lieu of the six-weeks grace, The Way Things Ought To Be makes for a great substitute. It’s style is very similar to his radio show, (minus the commercials), and such is the ease of the man’s communicative talents that one is inclined to believe it was transcribed verbally and edited later. The book is structured in chapters that permit Limbaugh to expound uponhis conservative idealism as it relates to popular left-wing political movements such as environmentalism, animal rights activ-
perception, (hot-air specialists like Michelle Landsberg and Geoff revere are still raging on about the “staggering poverty of the eighties”), that the rich got richer and the poor poorer is demonstrated to be nothing short of a complete scam, for in reality, the gap between the rich and poor in America achally narrowed - not expanded -- under Reagan. Furthermore, all studies, even the ones undertakenby Democrat-controlled Congressional commissions,’ clearly indicate that the American lower classes gained significantly higher income, paid less taxes, received more public funding, and faced far less unemployment under Reagan than was ever the case under Jimmy Carter’s Democrat Administration: “For the left to condemn these across-theboard improvements by labeling them as greed is tantamount to saying that they are opposed to prosperity for the poor and middle classes if the wealthy also happen to benefit.” Limbaugh argues persuasively that such tactics are all part of of a greater agenda at work, one that actively attempts to usurp the very principles upon which America was created.
His book’s advisory puts it more bluntly: “All (on&) needs to know is that I am a conservative, and as such, I am politically incorrect”. Detractors will doubtless vouch to that but insist that Limbaugh’s particular brand of firebrand “entertainment” is proof that fascism sells in spades. The most savage critics, (whom he designates “Communists, Socialis ts, Environmentalist Wackos, Feminazis, Liberal Demoera 6, Militant Vegetarians, Animal Rights Extremists, Liberal Elitists”) have frequently called him, in response, “The Most Dangerous Man In America”.

this often disturbing novel. This struggle to define themselves leads them down many dark paths. For example, Claudine, the novel’s protagonist, is obsessed with wanting “to takethebad-boyartistmythaway frommen.” She snorts coke. She wishes her life were better, but she continually puts her energy into things that are soul-destroying and painful. She gets involved with Cohn who hurts her again and again. “In Colin’s worldview,” Corbeil writes, “all women, no matter their origins, were middle-class. That was his ace, the most important card in his seduction deck. He could pull the ground from under any woman’s feet by saying middIe-class. They all crumpled after that.” Claudine finds herself many times on the edge of her sanity and is constantly trying to establish a sense of herself which is strong and independent of Cohn, her mother, father and sister. One of the novel’s strengths is that it explores the parents’ relationship from before their marriage right Up to the current action in the novel. This allows the reader to place Claudine’s problems in the context of her parents’ relationship and to see how the struggle of hope over misery rolls itself over from generation to generation.

288 pp, $24.95 by Michael Bryson Imprint staff In Voice-Over, Carole Corbeil deals directly with two issues that ought to concern every Canadian alive and thinking today and one issue that goes back to the beginning of time. The two contemporary issues are the dominance of the angle culture within Canada and the dominance of men in Western history, the other - and certainly the more important issue - is what it means to be alive and thinking in a very confusing world. Voice-Over reveals the Montreal of the 1950s and the Toronto of the 1980s. It is the story of two sisters born into a working class family in Montreal. They are French. Their parents’ marriage falls apart. Their mother marries a wealthy English man. Now they have money and a future with many options, but they have lost their identity. “Imperceptibly, and Corbeil writes: slowly, they grew to hate what they had been, to feel shame in the shadow that wealth and Anglo certainty threw on their frittered history. In that world, they met the most perfect disdain money could buy. It hit them just at the moment when their bodies were blazing with hormonal needs to belong.” The sisters’ loss of identity is the centre of
