Fed elections, CFS referendum draw near

Last year, the students of the University of Waterloo voted to secede from the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS). Now we are again faced with a decision, are we going to remain a member of the OFS parent organization, the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS). The question is to be put to a referendum that will be held in conjunction with the Federation of Students executive elections. The CFS was founded in 1981 by a group of national and provincial organizations including the National Union of Students, the Association of Student Councils, and the provincial student groups from Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Saskatchewan. At its founding, it was decided that the mandate of CFS was to be, “to organise students on a demoera tic, cooperative basis in advancing our interests, to ensure the effective use and distribution of the resources of the student movement,” and ultimately to create “a system of post-secondary education which is accessible to all, which is of high quality,whichisnationallyplanned, which recognizes the legitimacy of student representation, and the validity of student rights.” Those quotes are taken from the preamble of CFS’ constitution, laws, rules and regulations bore presentation from across Canada. According to Fed statistics, an approximate one third of Canada’s universities, about 70 in total, are currently members of CFS. This represents approximately one quarter of Canada’s student population. The governing body of the CFS is constructed like this: at the top, there is a three-member executive
8IationalGraduateCounciLandone representative of Canadian aboriginal students. All these positions are filled by students who are elected by all CFS members in a plenary session. In each province, the CFS has a provincial component which is a non-independent sub-organization. A university that is a member of the provincial affiliate is, by CFS rules, automatically a member of CFS. Individual universities voice their opinions through their provincial affiliate. Proposals and motions made by the member universities are taken to a general meeting of the membership where it is decided whether those issues merit further attention. Those passed by the general meeting are handed on to the

The Federation of Students executive election campaign will officially commence on Sunday, January 32 at 12 p.m. when candidates will be permitted to post up their campaign material around campus Voting polls for the election will be open on Tuesday, February 9 and Wednesday, February 10. All students can exercise their right to vote and participate in the selection of a new president, vice-president, university affairs, and vice-president, operations and finance. The position of president currently occupied by Dave Martin will be replaced by one of five nominees: Catherine Coleman, Kate Rush forth, Gregory Zografos, Dietmar Kubasta, and Lisa Yeo. Five other candidates: Erick Homier, Jimmy Rocchetta, George Van Nooten, Rob McGeachy and Andrew Allan Ross will battle it out for the position of VPOF presently held by Brent McDermott. SueCrack will have to give up her position of VPUA to one of the three candidates running for her position: Sharon Flood, Dave Kruis, or. Rick Kush. During the campaign week, the Federation of Students will be organizing three public forums so the candidates can present their ideas to the students, and it is a good opportunity to get the facts straight from the candidates themselves.

of the CFS.
Simpli3 issues may be voted on right there, more complicated ones are passed on to specific sub-committees for further debate and modification. These sub-committees each
specialize in a certain area, ie. budget committee, minority rights, etc. After these committees are finished examining the motion, it is returned to the closing plenary session where it is voted on by the membership. Here in Ontario, the system of provincial affiliation mentioned earlier is slightly different than in the other provinces of Canada. The OFS is in fact not a non-independent affiliate of CFS, rather it is an incorporated body all its own. Despite this, it still acts as the CFs-ontario, the Ontario affiliate of CFS (in fact, CFS-O is a trade name owned by OFS). According to the Feds and the ‘vote no’ committee, this has created a rather unique difficulty for the University of Waterloo. For further

Dance students take on AHS to save department by Ken

Bryson St@
U Guelph gets new prez’ Frcwn
Students of the UW Dance Department have begun the fight of their academic lives: that to save their department from the budget crunching university. The Dance Department has been in jeopardy since it was announced two weeks ago that, due to a shrinking budget, a proposal to eliminate the department will be put forward at the Faculty Council meeting today. While the Applied H&lth Sciences Dean Bob Norman has admitted the loss of the Dance Department would be “terrible,” his proposal would see no more Dance majors accepted next fall with the current students receiving their de. grees. After all 83 Dance students have completed their degrees the department would cease to exist. Today’s Dance students, however, are not interested in earning degrees from a department that won’t exist beyond their studies there. Dance Student Association (DSA) President KirstenUpolko and Vice-president Katie Cornell are working hard, along with all other Dance students, to inform the university community of their plight. For four days of this last week they have presented their cause at a display set up in the Campus Cenire. A petition is circulating which Cornell hopes to have 1000 signatures on by today. Also a “Save the Dance department dance,” is beinp: planned ior Fed Hall next Thurg

They also plan to meet with the opposition critics from both the Liberal and PC parties. With government support they hope to influence the university administration or even receive extra government funding. Although the DSA met with Dean Norman last Friday and received a “blanket” guarantee that their degrees would be protected, they still plan on attending and presenting their case to the Faculty Council meeting today. Beside President Opolko, Julie Ellis will speak on behalf of the Federation of Students. For their part, the university is maintaining that, though the loss of

Mordechai Rozanski, 46, will become the sixth president and vicechancellor of the University of Guelph. “I am very pleased to announce that the university’s board of governors today approved the unanimous recommendation of the presidential search committee,” said board chair Bill Brock on January 22. TheappointmentiseffectiveMay 1,19!?3. A Canadian from Montreal, Rozanski is a respected historian and strong academic administrator. He is currently provost and vice president for academic affairs at Wagner College in Stanten Island, NY. He holds a BA in history from McGill University and a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in Chinese and Asian history and American-East Asian relations. He has published widely on ChineseAmerican relations and international education and has a strong commitment to teaching. “We developed criteria for a presidentafterconsultationwiththe university community and are confident that Dr. Rozanski fully meets these requirements,” said Brock. The criteria included a president who is a respected scholar, has senior administrative experience, can develop a sense of teamwork, trust and mutual support within
the university, understands the current fiscal reality and can make difficult decisions. Most recently the president designate has shown strong academic leadership Qt Wagner College, a liberal arts college with 1,500 undergraduate and graduate stud&s, said Brock. He led the development of an academic master plan and redesign of the core curriculum in liberal arts, internationalized the currkulum, developed programs to improve access for educationally and socially disadvantaged students, and met budget goals. From 1986 to 1990, as dean of the college of Liberal Arts and subsequently vice-president for academic affairs at Fairleigh Dickenson University in New Jersey, Rozinski initiated a strategic planning process that led to consolidation of programs and strengthening of priority academic programs and research. A comprehensive university, FDU has 13,ooO undergraduate and graduate students of three campuses. The presidential search committee was struck in May 1992, after President Brian Segal announced his resignation. It was made up of representatives from the university’sboard of governors, faculty, students and professional staff. -

from The University of Waterloo has established a bursary fund in memory of David Zaharchuk, slain early last New Year’s Day on campus. The first award is expected to be made by next fall to a graduate student in financial need with a good academic standing. Donations can be sent to the bursary fund via UW’s office of development. Tax receipts will be issued for contributions exceeding $5, “We have consulted with David Zaharchuk’s parents and his wife and it was agreed that the bursary should be set up for graduate students from any faculty at the University of Waterloo,” reports David Burns, dean of engineering. Before his death, .Zaharchuk, a graduate student in chemical engineering, was completing his PhD thesis in metallurgy, which focused on a new process for the rapid drying of iron ore pellets.

The fur trade in Northern Ontario has had an enormous impact on the ecology in the region, says University of Waterloo Prof. Roger Suffling. In a major paper, the geographer says the arrival of the fur traders ensued in benefits and drawbacks for the native Ojibwa people in northwest Ontario. His paper was presented earlier this month at a symposium of the Institute of British Geographers in England. The downside included over-hunting, epidemics, human-set forest fires and alcoholrelated deaths. Nevertheless, the population continued to grow.His research team examined about 30,000 journal entries by the local trading post of the Hudson Bay’s Company. The records chronicle varied aspects of human life, as well as the weather and ecology. House, now a hunting and fishing lodge The trading post - Old Osnaburgh operated from 1786 until the 1940s. It was nearly wiped out in the famine of 1816-1818, when crops failed because of climatic change caused by volcanic eruption in Indonesia. Sarajevo

When you think about people working in the social justice and environmental fields, you don’t necessarily think about administration, hiring, staff supervision, planning and budgeting. Maybe you imagine someone taking a stand on an issue, waving a placard, cleaning a stream, helping to build an accessible home, lobbying for equal rights, or one of many-other different, visible activities. There are many of these active, concerned people who are visible, but many also who work behind the scenes, arranging events, setting up training for their groups, networking with other groups, and providing continuity. Both are necessary to make an organization work.

The dean of mechanical engineering at the University of Sarajevo is spending winter here to marshal support for his beleaguered institution. Emin Kulic, holding a visiting professorship at the University of Waterloo, hopes to spark immediate aid and then long-term co-operation from Canadian universities. He obtained a M.Sc. and PhD from UW in the 1970s. His university, the largest in ravaged Bosnia-Herzegovina, has been so battle-scarred that not a single building has escaped severe damage or destruction. As well, research files, library books and lab equipment have either been destroyed or plundered. Despite the ordeal, the university continues to function by means of small group discussions often held at faculty homes. The university remains a non-political and nonnational organization as defined by its governing statute. Kulic says he seeks relief - food, medicine and clothing - to help his university colleagues survive. In addition, he wants used research and lab equipment, plus books and periodicals. Over the long haul, Kulic plans to forge faculty and student exchange programs with Canada and other countries, import successful Canadian programs such as the co-op (work-study) system, and organize seminars, symposia and workshops.

If you come from an age-long Waterloo family, you can explore your roots at the University of Waterloo’s library. A database of local historical records has been mounted as a “test site” in the library’s rare book room. Its official name: the Waterloo Regional History Bibliography. It contains almost 4,500 references to books, booklets, theses, journal articles and book chapters relating to the history of settlement and development in Waterloo County to 1972, when regional government was introduced. Employing special software, the database was created by the library’s Waterloo regional project team between May 1991 and November 1992. Researchers, including family-tree buffs, can use and comment on the database over the next several months.

Architects, archeologists, and enaineers Rome. To do this, an artist and aichitect named Rafael recognized the need for precise measuring equipment and wrote a letter to the Pope describing one of the first transits mentioned in history. All the examples centred on Rome as Haldenby’s research lies in the areas of Mediterranean archaeology of which he obviously has an acute knowledge. They all showed how archaeology and architecture need each other in order to achieve full understanding of a subject. The last example described the different methods of mapping the city which progressed from the oblique airborne view to the vertical plan view and finally to an underground view showing theconstruction material of the various buildings. All these maps showed what the people who drew them were interested in. The lecture series takes a holiday for a while to let everybody concentrate on school, the next talk will be given on March 2 again at 11:30 a.m. in Arts Lecture 113. The talk will be entitled “Are Our Engineering Graduates Ready for the ’90s Type of Work?” and will be given by Ms. Nabila Yousef the director of Pickering Engineering and Construction Services.
by Frank Seglenieks Imprint stuff Last Tuesday, the second lecture this term in the series entitled “Bridging the Gap - Understanding the Human Dimension,” a series designed to expose engineering s tudents to non-technical issues, was held. In this talk, Dr. Eric Haldenby, the director of the UW School of Architecture, discussed “Architecture, Archaeology, Measure and Machine: Four chapters in a history of design.” To begin, Haldenby described how in one aspect of his research he studies the layout of ancient civilizations using modem technology. This was an example of how today’s science can aid in finding out about our past. A search for past culture was a recurring theme in that he stated we cannot believe that we are separated from the past but indeed are connected to it. He then went through four examples of how someone’s desire to know about the past somehow affected the technological advances of the day. For instance, during the Renaissance age, there was a desire to reconstruct the buildings of antiquity which lay in ruins around

The legitimacy of religion’s role as moral authority in both individuals’ lives and society as a whole will be argued at Wilfrid Laurier Univeristy on Monday, February 1. The debate - “It’s my choice..& is it?” - will launch a week of investigative seminars examining Christianity that is being sponsored by Laurier Christion Fellowship. “The purpose of the debate is to encourage people to examine just what should govern human behaviour, ” says Cindi Bauman, president of the 150 member campus club. “We also want to invite people to look beyond the immediate and
to challenge the assumptions behind their daily lives.” Arguing that religion is simply a by-product of morality will be Jan Narveson, a professor of philosophy at the University of Waterloo. John Franklin, a professor of philosophy at the Ontario Bible Co&e ‘in Toronto, will present the case thatmorality has its proper foundation in religion, rather than individual choice based upon humanism. John Redekop, a professor of political science at WLU, noted churchman, and commentator, will serve as moderator. The debate will begin at 7 pm in the Turret on the third floor of the Student Union Building.
Genocide of Muslims in Bosnia, says lecturer by Paul Godkin rpecid to lmpfint Last Thursday Muslim clergyman Mohammad Al’Aasi Imam of the Washington Mosque and a current researcher in the area of International Muslim politics, delivered an insightful and thought provoking lecture on the status of Muslims in Bosnia. The lecture was dklivered to a packed room in the Davis Centre, at the invitation of the Muslim Student’s Association. Al’Aasi spoke for approxima tely 90 minutes, during which time hi . described Serbian atrocities against Bosnian people. He went into considerable detail describing how many of the more than 150,000 Bosnians killed in the past year have been massacred cold-bloodedly in what would be considered nothing less than genocide aimed at Muslim Bosnia. He described how men, women and children have been taken out of their homes and systematically gunned down in mass groups by Serbian soldiers. In what were prob-
ably the most compelling moments of his lecture. Al’Aasi told his attentive audience of Serbian troops being ordered by their commanders to rape Bosnian women and use the threat of rape as a military tactic to take control of resisting cornmunities. It is estimated that 80,000 women have already been raped, in most cases by multiple men which means a horrifying percentage of Serbian military must be involved. Al’Aasi argued that the genocidal aspect of this conflict has been badly neglected by the Western
Nations. The result was “massacres and holocaust,” according to’ AI’Aasi. In his opinion, the media wishes to cover the conflict as a story of civil war rather than one of a struggle for democracy and self determination. Al’Aasi did not hold back any punchesinhisattackonthewestern govemmentsrelativeinactionin this area. He questioned why a no-fly zone could not be established as it has been in Iraq. If the UN is truly motivated by humanitarian concerns as it apparently is in Somalia, then why suchan impotent policy in Yugoslav&? His explanation was that it is not in the interests of Western democracies and in particular the United States to provide aid to Muslims. The former Soviet Union used to process 11.8 million barrels of oil a day. As we move away from a bipolar world we see this oil coming under the control of different faction. Three quarters of the oil in Central Asia is now in predominantly Muslim regions Mr Al’Aasi asserts that if Muslimsgetself-determinationinBosnia then they will inevitably want it in Central Asia which puts the control

media. As an example he described how 5,000 Bosnians were herded into a gaseous mine and incinerated, The story was not a major media outfit in the West. Al’Aasi attributes this neglect to the media’s reluctance to confuse the issues in Yugoslavia. Ten months ago, the people of Bosnia voted to have an independent Bosnia and were recognized by the United
of a vast amount of the world’s oil under Islam. Al’Aasi went as far to say that Western intervention in Somalia is largely the result of a fear that an Islamic government would have eventually emerged in this area. In his opinion the level of starvation and human tragedy in Mozambique and Madagascar has made them a veritable hell on Earth. “Why then,” he asked, “do we now hear about Somalia. . . which pales in comparison.” In answering his own question he simply stated that “If Islam takes control of this region, oil in the gulf and Central Asia no longer becomes a commodity within th&.S control )
. [They therefore wish to] reiirange political order within the area.” One quote in particular seems to epitomize the tone of his lecture, “Western people hate Islam more than they like democracy.” Although it must be conceded that AI’Aasi’s analysis was at times one dimensional and had an obvious personal bias, his attempts to reveal an anti-Muslim conspiracy are worthy of consideration and certainly not unfounded.

With demise off dance, UW will lose inuch more than $100,000 The following leUe7 was writ&n by four UW dance students to Bob Norman, dean uf applied health sciences and copied to UW president Doug Wright and various membms of the media. lie AHS faculty council will decide the fate of the dance department in a meeting scheduled for this afiernoon at 2:30 p.m. in Math and Computer building room 2065. lf the cuuticil votes to phase out the department, the decision goes before the University Senate 0~ F&runty 15. We are aware that the faculty council of applied health sciences has decided that, as of its next meeting, the dance department will be sacrificed for the sake of saving merely $100,000. This is not a large sum considering the high figures rhat the University of Waterloo works with. By writing this letter, we hope to make you aware of the general implications and effects of such a drastic decision. It hasn’t come entirely as a surprise to us, given the inconsistent background of the faculty and the overwhelming computer and engineering mentality that prevails at this university. However, a successful program such as this one, which is generating more and more interest each year, should not be hastily cut for such a small sum. Although a lot of people on this campus don’t even know that a joint ’ program exists between the National Ballet School (N.B.S.) and the Univerity of Waterloo,. the program is known internationally,and the reputation of its fine graduates is known from coast to coast in this country. The University of Waterloo is very fortunate to be afiliated with such a prestigious institution as the National Ballet School. It is one of the top three professional ballet schools in the world, along with the Kirov School in St. Petersberg and the Royal Ballet School in London. In fact, the ballet school could not afford to risk its reputation by associating with anything less and that certainly says 3 than excellence, something about the quality of this pro: gram. It would be a shame for the university to cut its ties with N.B.S.; perhaps this would be reflected in the 1994 Macleans poll. Before the joint program came into existence, it was felt that even with the outstanding reputation held by N.B.S. within the dance world, the addition of an Honours BA. would open up to the graduates b more career possibilities. When the Ontario Ministry of Education approved the introduction of dance into the public schools, affiliation with a university became necessary so that the ministry could hire such high quality teachers. When the N.B.S. annual auditions were held in Waterloo in 1987, Carole Chadwick vice-president of N.B.S., made Dr. Ruth Priddle aware of the need for such a program. Dr. Priddle is a pioneer of the dance department at Waterloo, and because of the enthusiasm of these two professionals the dream of the joint program came true. Now other universities have become more interested in the program, even those without a dance department Carole Chadwick says that she would be sorry to see the program cut at Waterloo, but N.BS, is still hopeful that this will not happen. She believes that the program has been very successful and that the graduates are coming out with an excellent education. Like Miss Chadwick, we too are still hopeful that the program will survive. While were were at the N.B.S., we were, on more than one occasion, frightened by the threat of closure due to a deficit in excess of a million dollars. The support of the public and the realization of the importance of art and culture always resulted in the provision of the necessary funds from one source or another. Those who have already graduated from the joint program have all gone on to exciting careers in many different arenas. In fact, the four of us who have completed the
N.B.S, portion of the program all have very diverse goals and interests. Susan Walker of Chatham, Ontario, took a year before combing to Waterloo to study Flamenco dancing in Spain. This has become the focus of her teaching. Shelley Prain of Comox, B.C., is also pursuing studies in history and plans to go on to teacher’s college. Naomi Koers df Parksville, B.C., is interested in t.hq aspects of private studio teaching as well as dance therapy. Andrea Webster of Saint John, N.B,, is also interested in studio teaching and would like to complete a minor in philosophy in hopes of opening the doors to graduate school. As you can see, in spite of our common background, the joint program with UW presents us with endless possibilities that we would not otherwise have. It is too bad that, although the interest of the students currently at N.B.S. is greater than it has ever been, your decision may take away from the assets that we have so fortunately had access to. This academic/ professional program is the only one of its kind in North America. Now that we have made clear the importance of the program and the possible effects of your decision, we should explain to you the general implications. Many of the other deaprtments at this university focus ’ on careers that fulfill the basic essentials of today’s lifestyle. There is a difference, however, between existence and life; the arts are what make this difference. The industrial artS deal with the well-being of the body; the fine arts are concerned with the well-being of the mind and the soul. Do you realize what you are saying by cutting dance from the faculty of Applied Health
Studies? Just take a moment to tty and picture your life without the fine or “unnecessary” arts. If you can even conceive of this, we feel great pity for you. As Karen Kain explained in her letter to’the editor of the Toronto Scar, in times of utter demtion, other countries have realized the necessity of ati and culture in ‘boosting the morale of the people and making the difficult dmes easier to bear. An article by lsabelle Vincent (Globe and Mail, February 7, I99 I) quotes OISE director Walter Pitman: “We want to change the attitude of educators and make them realize that we are serious about the arts and its relation to global competition. . Exposing students to the arts not only fosters >creativity in problem solving but builds a value system essential to grappling with wider issues such as the environmental crisis.” Is this decision based, as your memo stated, purely on financial problems? It seems that $ IOO,OOO should not be a lot of money to the only faculty on campus that offers a computer lab without charg& for time and paper. We question whether or not you have truly looked for alternatives. If the decision is being based on whether or not dance fits the requirements of the AHS faculty, watch out Rec. and Leisure Studies; you’re next We hope, however, that we have been able to show to you that dance does in fact affect the health and well-being of everyone involved. From the four year old dance student in class on Saturday morning to the senior citizen in the audience of a beautiful .and breathtaking performance, dance can offer relief from the difficulties of these rough economic times,
thereby increasing the quality of their lives. We wonder how much knowledge you have about the dance department and, indeed, about dance in general. We challenge you to follow one of us around campus for a week We don’t simply “flit around on our toes” anymore than a Rec. major does nothing but “pump iron and take steroids.” Scientifically, dance involves anatomy and an understanding of the mechanics of the human body; mathematically, it is moving geometry; spiritually, like religion, it can help in the fulfillment of the self; intellectually, it is philosophy in motion. If, as John Ruskin stated, “Art is the expression of the soul of the people,” by cutting this program and devaluing art, what are you saying about the value of a human soul? We, as dancers and therefore artists, + are survivors. No matter what happens we will come out on top. In the end, what you will lose along with this program will far outweigh $100,000. With its current reputation as the number one comprehensive universiv in Canada, even if AHS passes this proposal, we do not want to believe that the senate of UW wil! necessarily h&e the same ignorance of ‘the implications put forth by this decision. In the event that the worst scenario should come about and the dance department be cut, will the university and the rest of its clients be satisfied with a reputation of concern for only the computerized and mechanical aspects of existence, or would they rather be seen as human beings who place great value on the quality of life?

If ignorance is bliss, then Waterloo must be ecstatic “What do you do in dance?” As a third year dance maior, I’ve been asked this question countless numbers of times. Contrary to popular belief, we do not sit around all day long in a studio, turning around on our toes. We take five academic courses (I have textbooks, assignments and tests to prove it) and two technique classes per term, bringing our grand total to seven courses per term, averaging out to about 22 to 25 hours a week. On top of that, if we are involved in the school show, we rehearse anywhere from 3 to 12 hours of our own free time. I am tired of answering this question ,and am often tempted to retaliate with “What do you do in math? Engineering? Kin? English? etc.” - but I am not that ignorant. Ignorance is one of the reasons that the dance department is in jeopardy right now. Faculty has told us that the phaseout is purely for economic reasons. However, we (dance majors) cannot help but take this as a personal insult to ourselves as well as to the content of the program. It is as if we are being told that our program obviously is not worthy enough to besaved and that we do not learn anything important to society. The dance program at Waterloo is the only one of its kind in Canada (perhaps even in North America) that offers a specific stream in developmental teaching considerations. Those of us in the developmental stream are the dance teachers of today. We already teach many of the faculty’s children and wiIl teach our fellow students’ children in the future.
This program gives us essential information about child development, specifi&y in the dance environment. This information allows injury-free training that will prevent turnout and chronic knee problems and take into account the physical limitations of the body. We have lutowledge of how to find postural deviations such as scoliosis, kyphosis, and Iordosis and how to correct these if they are due to muscular tibalantes and not structural in nature. W must be doing something right if the National Ballet School teacher training program chose us, over the closer and more convenient York or Ryerson;with whom to have a joint program. NBS, by the way, happens to have a world reputation for producing excellent ballet dancers. Who would you rather have teaching your daughter: an airhead who decides to open her own studio because she had fun in a two-week jazzercize class (this happens quite often in the dance world) or a grad.uate of a degree program specializing in children’s physical and mental development? Although the majority of us are in the developmental stream, there are some students in documentation or dance notation - which is the written recording of movement and is sometimes used in physiotherapy clinics - and some, but not a large num&r, are in the performance/ choreographic stream. 1 In the performance stream, UW gives dancers the opportunity to work with, prominent
Canadian
choreographers
such
as Susan Cash and Judith Miller. Student choreographers have a chance to benefit from their knowledge and experience, as
well as the opportunity to create works with others without hatig to pay them. The courses we take are not bird &urses, as many of you think and feel the need to inform us about consistently. We take anatomy, anatomy applied to dance, psychology, english, kinesiology, history, philosophy, music, etc. As for teque classes, they are not easy; they are quite mentally and physicaIIy demanding. If you don’t believe me, I challenge you to come and take one. There are complex exercises given to us, involving specific actions in the head, shoulders, torso, hips, pelvis, legs, knees, ankles, and feet, plus movement dynamics, direction and travel distance, which we must learn, perfect, and perform in a total of four classes. Then we start all over again. This ignorance does not exist only in students (it’s not entirely their fault), but also occurs in faculty members. An example of this occurred this year when a dance major was told, after the professor discovered what her major was that “Fere would be homework in this course.” I guess all of the readings and assignments I’ve completed over the past t& years have really been for my own pleasure! This article was not written for any purposes of whining or complaining, but in the hopes that, since the pending faculty decision hangs ominously over our heads, students will understand and know what it is that we do in dance. If you don’t know by the end of this article, I hope you have quick reflexes to duck my right hook when you ask “What

Not only must I write using “one” in reference to any person, but I must use the “he/she” form in order to remain genderneutral and unbiased. Now I hear professors saying “history - oh - and hmtory.” Pardon? What sense does “herstory” make? Very little. If we are going to pick on every word in the language, we may as well begin over agian and revamp the language straight from Latin to make it genderneutral and yet logical and sensible enough so that we are still able to communicate with each other. Yet this is only the first step in creating a gender-n+al society. The second step was seen last summer in living colour on the Peace Bridge (thanks Gwen!). We, as wompn, must become comfortable enough with ourselves to realize, understand and accept the fact that our society was based originally on a patriarchal value system. But now, we are smarter and more aware, and we can surpass what our ancestors did before us. We can transcend this petty nitpicking over words and work instead to change the internal philosophy of society. We must look at our past to understand the reasons for our actions now. To negate history is to negate where we came from. To quibble over the language is to reduce our method of communication to nothing more than garbage. I challenge any and all feminists to admit to themselves whether or not they are, pardon&e pun, man enough to say, “I accept that we came from a patriarchal society, but that, without attacking something as necessary as language, I can overcome the original philosophy and prejudices of that society. I will attempt to spread the philosophy that a22 are equal and have equal opportunities and that each individual has power over his or her own life without being oppressed. I will live by this philosophy myself, uncompromisingly and without hypocrisy. Can you say this? I can. I am a wottllln. I am proud to be a part of the human race, with its rich history.

Please can someone give me a real review of Robert Palmer’s new album, Don’t Explain, as the last one I read was hardly a critical review? I do not own a Robert Palmer album and probably never will, but Sandy Atwal’s review of the album in the January 15 Imprint read more like an underground high school newspaper manifesto than a literate criticism. In other words - enough swearing, already! I hope “this dumb motherfucker” would be able to criticize more than the people who may buy this album, and realize that there is more to any album than the quality of the singer’s voice. Production, musical arrangement (especially as this is an album of covers), and recording quality are a few things Mr. Atwal may want to focus on the next time he reviews an album. Any Joe off the street can swear to make a point. I dare Mr. Atwal to try to write his next review and maybe talk about the music instead of

In response to your article “Skaters strike it rich at York,” I wish to extend my congratulations to the team; however, your article contained what I and other former team members might consider a major error and insult. In all the excitement, it has been forgotten that in 1988 the team won gold in the varsity final! By my math, that was 5 yars ago this spring. Your article says it’s been over 7 years since a team gold has been won, As a former team member, I know how important that finals gold is. Although I wasn’t on the team that year, many of the girls who were on the team were my friends in the following years. I think you owe them the honor of an apology. Sincefely

Welcome Waterloo! TO the
to
editor,
As a visitor to this university from a rival school, the University of Western Ontario, I would like to express my disgust and feeling of extreme repugnance for the cutthroat practices of the UW security department and Speedy Towing. My visit to the campus was specifically for the purpose of investigating a graduate program, which required that I park in the most convenient parking lot. After discovering that this lot was full and being unaware of the location of other lots or of pertinent buildings on campus, I stopped my car, with hazards on, at the most extreme and unobtrusive edge of the bus inlet in front of Needles Hall so that I could obtain a campus map. I was in the building for approximately four minutes when, to my horror, I saw a tow truck driving away with my car. After stepping away for only four minutes and receiving no written warning, I was left shivering and devoid of my belongings, with only a map in hand. What kind of establishment allows such piracy and questionable business practices - so desperate to earn a minimal storage fee per vehicle that it forgoes the ultimate consequences of its actions, including the fist impressions of potential graduate students, professors, etc.? Needless to say, after my fervent protests, the UW security department would not reverse its decision and received my payment of $35.31 with the stubtle undertones of “Thank you and come again” Diune
insiders, accuse you Friendly Feds of misrepresenting you. While other letters to the editor, and Peter Brown’s editorial have done a good job of deflating the rhetoric, it is time that someone discussed its source, CFS. As one of the students Waterloo sent to the last CFS National Conference, I would like to put a few things into perspective for you. The reasons why these letters are so anti-OUSA are two-fold. The first reason is almost farcical, Tuition fees, are “evil.” This was not said once, but repeatedly during the opening caucus of Qntario schools. OUSA’s proposal does not call for the absolute elimination of tuition fees, so it is automatically pigeonholed as wrong. Not unworkable, not logicany flawed, but morally wrong. The second reason is that thegovernment the Globe and Mail, the Council of Ontario Universities and all three political parties have demonstrated positive responses to OUSA. CFS has been around for God knows how long, collecting $60 000 a year from Waterloo alone, calling for O-tuition, guaranteed minimum income for students all funded by increasing * corporated taxes by 3% (and you can see the progress your investment bought in this area); and now a’group of students, spending only peanuts really, has found a palatable plan to make the cost of University bearable through a revamped student aid system, while simultaneously improving the quality of education. This proposal is beneficial to students, but “evil.“Both the National Chair-elect and the National Deputy Chair-elect condemned OUSA during their election speeches without having read the document! One other misrepresentation I should like to correct is that CFS is “the national student movement.” To me, a true national movement would represent at least a simple majority of Canadian students. CFS membership accounts for about 25% of Post-Secondary Education students in Canada. Beyond that, a large proportion of. the delegates at the Conference, which supposedly sets this year’s agenda, were unelected by their schools as a whole. Does this “national student movement” sound representative to you? The radical closedmindedness of the delegates who “represent” students would shame their so-called con&uents. The final point I have to make is that the CFS receives $60 Ooo a year from you. Read the CFS-Yes and CFS-No literature, attend the Forums, and ask yourself if your money might be better spent. f Duvid Bewe3A Pollticql SciencefAppkd
OUSA misrepresentatiori To the
editor,
What is this OUSA stuff? Do these people really expect students to pay 30% more tuition per year? Why would we, we’re not going to get anything more for this money. Our classes are overcrowded, our equipment is outdated and we aren’t safe on campus. If our money was going to go to fixing some of these things then I might be talked into it. But it’s not - the student just assumes a greater financial burden, and the government gets to save a few dollars. Where have the OUSA people been keeping their heads, in the sand or in someone’s ****?

Keeping abreast of the issues by Sheenu

Most thinking people in the world today would agree that women are denied many basic human rights. One right women are denied in many different ways is the right to our own bodies. It seems like a very basic thing, but as Chantal Daigle can tell you, your body is not your own if you are female. Any victim of rape or domestic violence can tell you the same. So can Gwen Jacob, and so can I. On the first anniversary of Gwen Jacob’s arrest, I and five other women were arrested for protesting an inequality in the law regarding exposing our chests in public. Nowhere in the criminal code does it state that women should not appear shirtless in public. No man was arrested at that rally for doing so, although there were many willing victims. The police were out to arrest women for challenging a law that is outdated and sexist. It is an interesting thing that,,while men are considered mature enough to be able to read social cues that tell them when to wear a shirt and when not to, women have to be controlled by the “discretion” of the arresting officer. However you may feel about the exposure of the female chest in public, you have to admit that this is sexism at its finest. Some men have argued in letters to Imprint that this law protects women from

sexual harassment. But, even if a man does firid that he is aroused by a woman% breasts, is he obliged, by some as yet undiscovered biological mechanism, to behave in a rude manner, or can he learn to separate his aesthetic/sexual response from a pattern of abusive sexist behaviour? If males want to support this issue, challenge this myth that men are inherently rude to women on the street. It can only make you look good. As for women, I think that taking our shirts off can only have good results. It will destroy once and for all the beauty myth that is fostered by only seeing women with “ideal breasts.” Most of us don’t look like the women in beer ads, and we should be proud of this. Bone-thin models with fake breasts are the unusual ones, not the average female, who is currently being made to feel like a freak: The current uproar over breast implants should be sufficient to prove my point, and may signal the beginning of accepting ourselves as we are (the alternative being to poison ourselves with Dow chemicals). Human rights are basically about the . inherent dignity and worth of individuals. ’ If women were treated as if we were valuable because of our unique humanity and not because of our conformity to a beauty myth, I think women would be much closer to realizing our full potential as human beings.

OUSA calls for partnership funding by Davycf Funk and special to Imprint
Dave
Mutiin
The Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance recently presented to government a proposal for a new basis for the funding of universities. In doing so, they have taken a comprehensive approach, considering past trends, current financial constraints, and goals for future revitalization of our universities. S&e 1972, total per student funding to Ontario% universities has decreased by over 30 per cent. In fact, over the 12 years prior to 1990, this has amounted to a decline of $475 million. Students continue to face a disturbing erosion of the quality of their education at universities and colleges throughout the province: lecture halls remain overcrowded, libraries are stripped down, laboratories are ill-equipped, and student faculty ratios continue to rise beyond already unacceptable levels. Chronic underfunding has produced a second-rate system which cannot provide the kinds of graduates necessary to succeed in an increasingly competitive global environment. Examples of the deteriorated learning environment facing Ontario’s university students are too easily found. The proposed elimination of the dance department within the AHS faculty is a shocking example that we are facing here at the University of Waterloo. Cutbacks have resulted in severe constraints on the budgets of faculties. Such cuts’are unacceptable and shed much light on the crisis situation that our institutions are encountering. As courses throughout the province are being cut and faculty appointments fail to keep pace with enrolment rates, class sizes are reaching mammoth proportions like one class at the University of Toronto with an enrolment of 2000. Compared internationally, universities in Ontario receive 25 per cent less revenue per student than public institutions in the United States. Provincial comparisons show that Ontario ranks ninth in government support for post-secondary education in Canada and has seen a decrease in its share of provincial budgetary expenditures of nearly 31 per cent, amounting to a $530million loss. The students of Waterlod have been aware of the need to maintain both a high quality of education and student life. This is demonstrated through the many studentrun endowment funds that have been established recently on this campus. Waterloo leads the way and as a result has received criticism from other student groups, including CFS and OFS. They believe that these routes should not be pursued by students; they claim that we are giving in to the administration by finding proactive solutions such as these. Any realistic and workable solution must extend beyond the simple demand for more money. Recovery can only begin with a firm commitment to a fair and equitable funding structure. It follows that the long term development and support of postsecondary education is a responsibility to be shared by all stakeholders, including students, government, and the private
sector. If we are to affect any improvements in the quality of our education, all stakeholders must increase their contributions to the post-secondary system. Trends and benchmarks in university funding, including those outlined in this article, confirm the need for an injection of approximately $360 million to revitalize our failing education system. The OUSA proposal establishes an equal contribution from government and students of $160 million and a further $40 million from the private sector. The student contribution would result in an increase of $200, a 10 per cent increase, for every full-time student for deach of three years. Such increases are not unrealistic in light of the fact that we have already seen tuition fees rise by seven per cent in each of the past two years. As society as a whole benefits from a strong education system, government has a responsibility to increase its contributions as well. Concurrent with a phased increase in tuition, 0USA calls for an increase in government transfers of $200 per full-time student for each of three years, This represents an eight per cent increase in the government’s commitment and equals the $160 million student contribution. By way of comparison students currently pay for approximately 18 per cent of the cost of their education as opposed to the 75 per cent borne by government. The private sector clearly receives substantial benefit from the highly educated graduates of a quality university system, in this respect they play a role in the partnership and OUSA has recommended that $40 million be raised from the private sector. This may be accomplished by implementation of a system of corporate educational training levies. Firms of a . certain minimum size would be required to contribute by supporting education in a way that may be most beneficial to them. This could mean sending their own employees to training sessions, sponsoring students or donations to educational institutions. An additional source of revenue comes through the active pursuit of university based research initiatives, particularly private sector research contracts and the continued support for the widely acclaimed Centres of Excellence and University Research Incentive Fund programs. The acceptance of a strictly regulated increase in tuition as OUSA has proposed translates into a firm partnership between government, students and the private sector. It provides a badly needed infusion of $360 million, injects substantial dollars for student loans, grants and targeted bursaries, and represents a crucial step . towards a secure future. If we do not implement such reforms through an effective student aid program and a partnership funding agreement, the quality of our educational system will continue to decline. We must together with all the players involved in order to provide the best possible solutions. Da yd Funk is chair of the Federation Students’ Board of External Aflairs.

Part four of the NAFTA series
Nafta and Canadian Culture. by Scott Marratto special to imprint
Back in December, I was invited to come and-share some of my music and reflections on social and cultural activism with students at a Cambridge secondary school. In one of the classrooms, I noticed that an earlier guest, recording artist Gregory Hoskins of Gregory Hoskins and the Stickpeople, had signed his name on a wall along with the words, “Remember where you came from!” In that statement, I believe Greg Hoskins articulated the very deepest meaning of the act of artistic creation. Art and culture remind us of our origins, of our identity. Culture situates our personal lives in the context of a larger history and reminds us that we are both inheritors of a tradition and creative agents in an unfolding historic destiny.
the resources and technology to completely saturate our cultural market to such an extent that Canadian artists invariably must “make it” in the U.S. in order to achieve recognition in their own country. The effects of this situation are painfully apparent. In the Canadian music industry, 12 foreign firms bring in 90 per cent of the revenues yet produce only 33 per cent of music deemed Canadian content; foreign book publishers earn 60 per cent of the revenues yet publish 20 per cent of Canadian books, and in film-making, foreign firms rake in 90 per cent of the revenues for producing five per cent of Canadian films (Stothart: 90: 6).
is little surprise in this when you consider that it was corporations and their government allies, and certainly not artists, who drew up the blueprints for this deal.
viable in the global market. If we accept that human beings are simply economic units searching heedlessly for the means to achieve a kind of secure, comfortable, non-reflectiye bliss, then by all means let us cast our cultural legacy into the melting pot. ForgivemeifIdonotseethings thatway. I am not prepared to see the pages of the NAFTA laid over the corpse of a once vital Canadian artistic heritage. And I am not prepared to see the birthright of future Canadians frittered away by a generation s@icken with the wonder of unbridled progress and technological ecstasy. In the beginning of his 1972 collection of poems, More Poems for the People, Milton Acorn writes, “These poems may be used free of charge by anyone serving the cause of Canadian independence and the cause of working people in any country” (Acorn:72), and so, to conclude, I intend to do just that: “A spell both ancestors and descendants marvel at - the spell of bourgeoisdom made us fritter away/ Our chances for freedom. Now in this age tormented/ Like a pIanet beset by cotiets, when the bourgeoisie’s/ Twisting on its seat of crime; let’s hustle them/ Off the world. In the face of Empires and/Their pompous Liberals, their bullying experts,/ Make sure the People rule here - Ourselves our own way.” (Acom:72;14)
Refusing the Culture of Amnesia To say that culture is the multi-faceted expression of a people’s identity and that the artist, therefore, is a kind of guardian to the memory of the people is not to suggest that authentic culture will automatically exist where a nation or a people exists. It is also not to suggest that local culture can be made redundant by the teaching of official history

Waterloo was outscored 19-10 in the last 10 minutes of the dismal but hard and fast-played first half, which saw the Warriors fighting an early lead by the Hawks. The battle continued in the beginning of the second half with the Hawks maintaining their margin for the first seven minutes.

It is amazing how the performance of a team reflects the calibre of its opposition. And the Black Plague volleyball Warriors can attest to that. After a fine fourth-place performance at the prestigious Dalhousie Invita tional Tournament this past weekend, Waterloo wiped the home-court floor with the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks on Wednesday night 3-1 (15-6,13-15, 15-7,15-7). UW head coach Scott Shantz was optimistic about the win. “We play well in a high-quality tournament, come back and it brushes off in tonight’s win,” he said. “Our defence and blocking went up another notch and now we’re in top form in time for the playoffs.” Power hitter Rene Holt and offside hitter Jon Tenthorey paced the win with 22 and 21 points respectively. Although lower in the stats figures, Perry Strauss stole the show, blocking, digging, and attacking at the net with a vengeance. He led the team in stuffs with four, a!most singlehandedly shutting down the Laurier middle attack. But the dominating victory by the Plague wasn’t without its flaws as Shantz was quick to point out. “We still have that problem of being in the lead, run&g up our . score to 10 points and then hitting the panic button,” said Shantz. “We’ve lost games because of it and we’ve got to learn to shake it.” After buiIding a 7-2 kad in game two, the Warriors let it slip through their hands and lost 15-13.

On January 23 and 24, the Athena indoor field hockey team swept all of their opponents in the York Invitational Tournament. Assistant coach Janet MacPherson, filling in for coach McCrae, was optimistic that the ten veteran players who composed the weekend’s team would put in a good showing, and she was not disappointed. In their first match, against York’s B-team, the Athenas were pleasantly surprised at their performance. Linda Mowat dominated the court, scoring all three of Waterloo’s goals, powering over defencemen and goalies alike. York was only able to score on a penalty shot, given the strong defensive play of Lisa Howell, Patti Crawford, Montse Sanzsole, and Cathy Reilly. Chalk up a win and two points for Waterloo. Btioyed by their play in the first match, Waterloo was more than ready for Western. Despite the Purple Satan’s “unique” brand of hockey, the Athenas were in control of the game.

But the Warriors soon left the Hawks behind in another three minutes of domination during which time they put five points between them and Laurier. Poor time management left the Hawks short of time-outs with over five minutes left on the clock. Laurier pulled to within one point, but that was as close as they got as Waterloo racked up another six points in a row. Waterloo clinched the win with free throws scoring seven of their last we points from the charity stripe with the final score standing at 74-66.

Sunday morning was another rough one for the Athenas. Inconsistent refereeing and liberal interpretations of new guidelines made for difficult play. Althoughnot as welldefined as the previous day, it was passing and communication that gave the Athenas the lead. Dietrich was \good for two goals, while Mowat and May Lynn Quan tallied a single goal each. Queen’s managed two goals of their own, but at the whistle, it was Waterloo 4-2. Up against Guelph for the last game of the tournament, the Athenas were tired but determined to round out their winning weekend. It was their fastest-moving game of the weekend. Goalie Jen Murray was a demon on the circle edge. Rushes by Athena wingers and midfield were barely turned back by Guelph’s weak defence. An interception by Reilly turned into a goal, and,after being denied (despite hurdling the goalie), midfielder Carol Ferguson made good for her first varsity goal. Miscommunication in the Athena defence resulted in a solitary Cuelph goal, late in the second half. Waterloo was able to hold the score to 2-l as the final-minutes ran out.

The 1993 Mike Moser Memorial Awards will be presented at half-time at the Warrior-Western OUAAbasketballgame to be played in UW’s PAC tomorrow, Saturday, January 30. The game begins at 2 p.m. The Athenas will play Westem at 12:OO noon. The Mike Moser Memorial Awards are named after the late Mike Moser. Moser was a member of the Warrior basketball team at the time of his sudden death from an infection on January 12, 1975, while the Warriors were on an exhibition trip to Florida. Moser was also a member of Canada’s national basketball team. The CIAU recognized his outstanding contribution to the game of basketball by naming its annual award for most valuable university basketball player in the country for him. He was the trophy’s first recipient, posthumously, in 1975. An endowment was established in 1975, and the proceeds are awarded annually to “third, or fourth year students in financial need who have an exemplary academic’ record and who have achieved a high level of accomplishment in extracurricular activities.” Donations to the fund may be made to either Joanne Wade, care of the Uw Registrar’s office, or to Paul Condon, care of the UW athletic department. Receipts will be issued for all amounts over $10.00. The Mike Moser Memorial Fund is administered by a commit-
tee of university personnel, chaired by Dr. Neil Widmeyer of UW’s kinesiology department. Other members of the committee are Federation of Students vice-president, university affairs Sue Crack, athletics director Wally Delahey, coordinator of men’s interuniversity athletics Don McCrae, and student awards officer Joanne Wade. The 1993 recipients are: Michael Fullerton Fullerton is a fourth-year civil engineering student originally from Montreal. He has been a member of the Warrior volleyball team for four years, not an easy task given his participation in the co-op program. DuriAg his third and fourth work terms, Fullerton has commuted daily from Toronto. The Warriors have benefitted from his dedication; for the past three years, the Warriors have participated in the CIAU championship, earning the right by virtue of their performance in the OUAA. He is now team captain and, in that position, leads the team with his maturity and his tremendous work ethic. Christopher Moore Moore is a fourth-year applied health sciences student originally from Borden, Ontario, in his fourth season as a member of the Warriors basketball team. After winning two. athlete of the year awards at Base Borden Collegiate, he was named the Warrior rookie of the year in his first season with the team. Moore has been co-captain of the Warriors for the past two years;
he is one of the team’s leading rebounders and a consistent scorer with the team. Additionally, he raises the level of team play through his hard work, encouragement, and unselfish contribution, to the team. Damen Snyder Snyder is a third-year mathematics student and a member of the Warrior hockey team. Following graduation from Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute in Kitchener, he played hockey for the “Big Red” while attending Cornell University. Since joining the Warriors three years ago, Snyder has enjoyed considerable success. In his first year with the Warriors, he received the coach’s award for commitment and dedication, and he wa8 third in team scoring. Last season Snyder moved up to second in team scoring, was named a 2nd team OUAA all star, and was voted the team’s most valuable player. He is currently serving as the Warriors’ captain.

After making the trek down University Avenue for a two-day swim meet, the Athena and Warrior swim teams returned with two second-place honours. Carletonand Wilfrid Laurier University’s squads were easily silenced, but Laurentian’s big guns were heard in each and every event, claiming almost half of the available points. Head coach Brian Cartlidge was pleased with the results, emphasizing that his swimmers were concentrating on their techniques and their off-events. “We have seen a general trend of dropping times in the swimmers‘ off-events,” Cartlidge said. “This is what we are looking for, as well as goodsw immhg style and strategy. ” Cartlidge is not expecting similar drops in the swimmers’ best events until their Ontario championships in the middle of February. “Their on-events are still tired from all the work we’ve been doing . . . they’re not sharp yet.” The regime over the next few weeks will include a two week ‘taper’, during which the practices become gradually shorter and faster, acclimating the swimmers to fast racing. “After taper, the drop in onevents should match the drop in

sits alone in second place in the OUAA West division at 6-3 while the Golden Hawks fall to 5-4. McMaster is still atop the division at 8-1. Western (4-4), Windsor (PEi), Brock (3-6), and Guelph (l-8) are all fighting for a playoff spot. The top four teams in the division go to post-season play. The Dalhousie Invitational, which took place in Halifax, Nova Scotia, boasted some of the highest calibnz of varsity volleyball in the country. Of the eight teams participating, four were nationally ranked teams: the Manitoba Bisons (ranked fourth in the CIAU), the Montreal Carabins (5th), the DaIhousie Tigers (9th), and the York Yeomen (10th). Waterloo finished a respectable fourth, losing to the hosts in the bronze medal game 3-O (16-14,X& 13,15-10) in a 75 minute marathon. Interestingly enough, the champi-
off-events we’vebeen seeing lately,” Cartlidge said. “They’ll be sharp.” Rookie Amy Jarvis had another successful meet, bringing home one first and four second-place finishes. Two of her second-place finishes came from her fiery 1:08.74 100 fly on Friday, and her blistering 1:10.08 100 back on Saturday. Veteran Sheryl Slater was second in the 200 back, followed by Trish Felszegi in third, and put all of the strokes together to capture a first in the 400 IM. Felszegi swam her best 100 back so far this year, in 1:12.23, which was also good for third. Melissa Williams and Sheryl Slater finished 2-3 in the 200 breast, as did Williams and Jen Beatty in the 100. Williams’ 547.37 400 IM seized another third for the Athenas. Corrie Powell turned in two best times for the season; one in her second-place finish in the 100 free, and the other for a third in the 50. Powell also swam the 100 fly to third place. Felszegi’s backstroke, Williams’breaststroke, Jarvis’s butterfly and Powell’s freestyle combined to bring home first place in the women’s 4-by-50 medley relay. The Warriors also smothered Carleton and WLU, but lost to Laurentian’s men in spite of several great performances, most notably from athlete of the week Ian Hunt.
Hunt brought home three firsts and a second by swimming “wellexecuted races,” Cartlidge said. Hunt’s 59.05 100 fly, and 24.96 50 free were each about a second short of making the CTAU cut-offs -standards he hopes to make at ,?UAAchampionships inFebruary. His solid 2102.16 200 free rounded out his hat-trick of firsts, and his 1:04.44 100 back was good for second, which was followed closely by Terry Boyko in third. Boyko found third again moments later, after a seasonal best 56.84 in the 100 free. After a steady 17:34.67 mile (1,500 metre freestyle) late Friday night, veteran Jason Krupp swam to another third-place finish on Saturday morning in the 200 free, clocking an impressive 2:0X06. Mark Goodwin and Dave Schneiderman finished 2-3 in the 200 breast, and Schneiderman found another third pIace in the 400 IM.

The Warriors showed an intensitynotyetseenthisseason.They finished the weekend with a sparkling 43 per cent team kill efficiency over five matches. In some matches earlier this season, not one Warrior hit that number. Tenthorey topped all UW scorers with 101 points in the three day event, while Holt followed close behind with 86 points.

::::. : ‘.
Imp: IfllWsfudents vote#o stay with CFS, what are the consequencesfor #he universi#y and the sfudmts, as you see them? G: I think the consequences for staying in CFS are mainly that we will be burdened with the troubles of CFS. The problem with CFS, as we see it, is that education is not the number one priority - which we believeitshouldbe.Oneoftheproblems within CFS is that we’re looking at a 50 per cent fee increase, if it’s approved by the students, of our contribution to CFS, raising our feesfrom!§60,0OOto$90,UOO.Aswell, its going to give us a conflicting mandate because, with our involvement with OUSA, we have CFS sort of condemning OUSA, going after OUSA. Meanwhile, we have our students’ council and our students working towards OUSA. It’s going to be a very conflicting mandate. Imp: I’ve been told #hat part of the problem with CFS is thaf staying with it also ties us again back with QFS, due to regulations. What does t)rrzt mean? G: I-Iow it works is OFS is an affiliation of CFS. OF5 will also sometimes go under the name CFSO, or Canadian Federation of Students, Ontario component. According to the CFS by-laws, all schools in Ontario are part of the Ontario component. The conflict right now is that there are several schools that are part of OFS that are not part of CFS. We’re the only school that is part of CFS but not part of OFS. As OFS becomes more the Ontario component of CFS, we’re going to be looking at being forced to rejoin OFS, which is an organization our studentsvoted to withdraw from. Also, a structural problem right now is that University of Waterloo students are being denied their vote for their provincial representative on the national executive of CFS because that executive also sits on the OFS board, so they denied us our vote as to who that representative would be, and that’s coming within CFS and OFS. So we’re going to be continuing to be placed in that position where we’re almost left out of the Ontario involvement of CFS, and restricted fromour nationalinvolvement because the person at the top represent us at the national level is not being voted on by us. Imp: Is it #rue tha# part ofour membership fee will be going fo OFS? G: Yes. One of the at the last November ing was, I beIieve, membership fee Ontario would be

to stop it now. Imp: So you dofeel that OUSA is a key
G: The committee itself has no official stand on where that $2 should go. I think every member probably :ir’, has a different position about wher$,..l that $2 should go, but it’s not ar@.:* official stand that we’ve taken, say-., +., ing that it should go elsewhere. ,Y .:,.> D: I think it’s just important to realize that it’s a large sum of money, and that the student should have a called for it -- the Council did, yes, say where some of the money goes, I will agree to that - but certainly if it doesn’t go to CFS membership. there was not a call from the general
derstand what politicking has to do with it. There’s politicking in students’ council, and student politics. p: Well, the problem is, #hey say, S is paying too much attention fo non-student related issues, to positions on events in Burma and things like when they should be concentrating on studen# loans in Canada, efc. thuf
T: Well, I think we need a better definition of what a non-student oriented issue is. And exactly what they feel . . . could you ask the question again, actually?
T: Okay, well, I think that for $2 per student per term, well they’re raising it to $3 per student per term. CFS is a very strong and very powerful lobbying voice for students it resulted in no GST on tuition or residence fees. It offers help in student aid, in increasing and improving access to student aid, in fighting the new decision regarding the CEAP. CFS also helps to improve the chances for summer jobs for students. CFS has a service organization, it’s got the international student card, if anybody’s ever done any travelling they know what a good service that is, it’s got SWAP, a national student health plan, there’s CFSNET, the SWAP program, the Canadian Programming Service which gives any Student government access to speakers, performers like Meryn Cadell, speakers like Stephen Lewis and Judy Rebick. That’s very basic, and obviously if people want more information they can come and talk to us. Those are just some of the basic thiigs CFS does for us. So b+ically, it is a valid contribution to every student’s education. We get rid of CFS and we end up joining OUSA and our tuition fees rise incredibly. I t’s a completely different lifestyle for everyone.
T: L&-huh,

in its favour, at thi&%, are its services. CFS is a good organization for smaller schools that don’t have the budget to provide these services for themselves. They have the CanadianProgramming Service; the Waterloo Feds have their own fulltime programming service. They haveanationalhealthplan;wehave insurance companies approaching us to give us our own health plan, which we’re currently running, and we’re saving money by not paying another bureaucracy to administer it. I think another problem, in respect to membership, is the internal conflict that is within CFS right now. At the November general meeting, two provincial and national executive members, so the provincial representa tive for Ontario and the provincial representative for Alberta, resigned at that meeting, as well as the entire executive of the National Graduate Council, which is part of CFS, (they) resigned at that meeting as well. D: Actually, in a number figure, CFS only represents a little less that 2.5 per cent of the actual post-secondaryeducationpopulationofstudents across Canada, that’s not a very large number to be saying they represent the national student movement.
OFS &&@a~; tht as it-sfands right now we have no voice with CFS. T: I they ously they make

T: Well no, that’s wrong’ I’d like to talk to the person who said that and clarify that, that’s completely . . . that’s not correct. Either you, and this is not against you, either you have your facts wrong or somebody from the Feds has their facts wrong. Imp: 7% comes from both #he ‘No’ side and Dave Martin and #he Federation of Studen#s. T: Well let’s say that Dave Martin and the Federation of Students are basically representing the ‘No’ side. I’d really like to question Dave Martin on that because the Feds do have a vote at CFS and obviously he’s taking it as a personal affront, and he shouldn’t. He should get on

Finance is a key issue for Kruis and his team-mates. Cutbacks are occurring across the board yet the government hasn’t considered UW’s higher operating costs because of its Co-op program. He asserts the ten other existing Co-op schools and UW could form an alliance ‘to lobby the government for increased funding. Along with lobbying the government, Kruis believes a UW corporate grant system sponsored by local businesses, bursaries and fundraising could be established to balance current cutbacks. He contends,% is essential to have a good relationship with the cornmu; nity. to gain the interest of outside funding.” Kruis believes one of his greatest strengths is his “willingness to accept everyone’s ideas”. He maintains it is sometimes a cha3lenge to find a happy medium between satisfying everyone and getting a project to take direction but, “at least everything will be taken into consideration and the end result will be ahead”.

His background includes experience as a Village Don, a member of various SCP committees, S tudent Council Representative for Renison College, varied involvement with Campus Recreation, and is currently Chair of the Accessibility Committee. He stated that these experiences have helped improve his communication and interpersonal skills, which he believes relate directly to the position of vice-president, university affairs. If elected, he would like the Federation to have more of an open-door policy toward students. One of his weaknesses, he conceded, is that he often tries to take on too many projects at once. If elected, though, Kush would like to make the Federation’s services and businesses more visible, and try to generally improve the quality of student life.

Pointing out that students spend a great deal of money off-campus, Homier stated that one of his goals was to keep student money on-campus, so it can be funnelled back into othe student needs and concerns.

On the issue of visibility Ross points out that it is particularly important to inform first year students of the services the Feds provide since many students aren’t aware of all the services available to them.

Fourth year student, Jimmy views fiscal Rocchetta, efficiency,(no deficit spending) as a top priority. Running for VP. Operation &Finance, Rocchetta would like to continue but also improve the current financial operations. According to Rocchetta,“many of the programs we have in place are excellent but they aren’t being used to their full potential”. Rocchetta has been an active Fed member holding positions of Chairperson Board of Communications, and Federation Related Events Volunteer (ie.:Orientation, Winterfest, Homecoming, Campusfest, Cultural Caravan). His work with the federation has familiarized him with the internal

On safety, Kate feels that seminars could educate students on safety in addition to all the tangible steps that have been taken to improve security on campus. Along with Rob and Dave, Kate would like to establish a Peer Advice and Resource Centre that would provide a central referral base “to address the needs of students who don’t know where to go for the information they need”. This would especially assist those first year students living off campus, and would include the student helpline. Cooperative Education is an area that Kate feels could use some restructuring to update the system with advances made by other co-op universities, such as implementing a computerized system that would improve the system’s efficiency for students.

Rocchetta speculates the move of the Fed office to the new Student Centre, that will increase its visibility, will be a positive one. He would like to make the Fed Office as unimposing and accessible as possible emphasizing the image of the “friendly feds”. 0pening up the lines of communica tion between students both on and off-campus and the federation is vital. Rocchetta asserts, “students pay a mandatory fee to the Federation of Students and they should be kept well informed so they can get full benefit of their funds.” If Rocchetta could be reincarnated as anyone it would be former 1991-92 VPOF, Steve Millard. Steve Millard was a well liked and effective leader and he turned around the Federation budget from in the red to its current no deficit situation.

In the 60-m sprint, Taite finished fourth in the event’s “B” final with a personal best (pb) of 8.07 seconds. First-year Athenas Sarah Brown and Judith Leroy raced to the 1,500-m finish in personal best times of 5.03 and 5.06, placing them fourth and seventh respectively. In men’s competition, high jumper Karl Zabjeck took the gold by clearing the bar with a jump of 2.08 m. Team-mate Jeff Miller ole vaulted to tie his personal g est height of 4.65 m and placed second overall. Another commendable performance was that of sprinter Chris Bastie, who took first place in the 60-m “B” final in 7.23 seconds (pb).

The Athena volleyball team is 3-l in ames played in 1993,. but they sti 7 1 have an overall record of 4-6. However, the team has been playing better of late, especially in the fifth game of five-game matches. Last weekend, they travelled to Thunder Bay and split a doubleheader with theleague-leading Lad Nor’Westers to keep their playoff K apes alive. Currently, the Athenas are two points out of a three-way tie for fourth place in the OWIAA West, having a game in hand on those two teams. In the first match of the

The Can-Am meet on Saturday, January 23 included teams from not only the top Ontario universities but also high calibre U.S. college teams from,as far away as Ohio State. Among the top performances for Waterloo was a personal best time recorded by Jonathan Cressman, who went 8:41.2 in the 3000-m, taking a comfortable setond place.

outings. Ken Macleod, Brent Curry, Dave Richardson, and Chris Buchanan rounded out the team. Gary Pluim blew a ski after the first kilometre and couldn’t finish his race. The men finished third out of 9 teams behind Carleton and Queen’s, Sunday’s 2O-km skating technique race was shortened to 10 km for the men and 5 km for the women. This probably had a lot to do with the fact that it was pouring rain. Is it really mild this winter or do we just have bad luck? The major competition of the day was to see who would be the last in the van for the trip back to Waterloo as the team didn’t want to get hypothermia standing around in wet clothing. Race result’s weren’t out b the time the team left. B pecial thanks goes out to Ron Howden for waxing everyone’s skis on Saturday and Trevor Stewart who was unable to make the tri but sent along some power mu Pfins. This weekend will find the team ra@ng at Hardwood Hills and Horseshoe Valley.
split for volleyball doubleheader last Friday, Waterloo was ,able to execute their game plan, consisting of stopping Lakehead’s big middle hitter Kelly Breutigam, who leads many of ‘the OWIAA offensive categories. Of particular note was Waterloo’s Carren Hall who recorded 14 blocks, mostly on Breutigam, and was able to pass Breutigam’s difficult spike serve. Even Lakehead coachclaude Lapre said “we served too soft on them and served too many to Carren Hall.” Scores in the matches were 156,9-15,15-11,15-17, and 15-9. In the fourth game, Waterloo was down 14-8 but came back to tie a game they would ultimately lose; The

On Sunday, January 24, approximately 20 University of Waterloo students participated in the first of five wheelchair recreation sessions for the winter term. Physically disabled students, able-bodied friends, and some Ret Pals played Wheelchair rugby. The game of wheelchair rugby has originated in Canada for quadriplegics.

Squash Tournament Finals by Krlsta Mitchell Last weekend Campus Recreation hosted the Winter 1993 Squash Tournament. We had a great turn out and same very impressive, but stressful matches. The standings were as follows: Advanced Level: First place was won by Will Akkerman but not after a hell of a fight with second place competitor Richard Straka.

Ackerman however won the final game with final score 8-10,9-1,2-9,9-4,10-K Bat@ players displayed outstanding stamina arid skill. Congratulations to both of you! Also honourable mention to third place winner Sean Burkett. Intermediate Level: Ron Khurana came out on top after facing some stiff competition from second place winner Dave Janega. Khurana slid by with a 3-9,1-9,96,9-3,9-4 final score. Great games guys! Honourable mention toPIavin D’Souza, a close third place winner! Beginner Level: Costas Conitis stole the show only after a close fight from second place winner PanelTerek. Conitis defeated Terek by the score of 9-1,7-9,9-O and 9-f. Thanks to everyone for coming out! Hope to see you all again next year!

OWIAAs by Jennifer Smith Imprint sports
The Athena curling team won two of three games this past weekend at the OWIAA East/West Crossover Bonspiel in Toronto to earn a berth in the Ontario championships in February. In their first game against Laurentian, the women curlers took a strong lead and went on to win 94. Again attaining an early lead, they defeated Queen’s by a 10-5 margin. Struggling against Toronto, the Athenas dropped their third game 7-5. The three wins, combined with the 5-O performance at the West Sectionals, qualify the Athenas for the OWIAA provincial finals February 20 and 21 at the Brantford Golf and Country Club. In Warrior curling action, despite their ardent effort, the men were one win short of qualifying for the OUAA provincial finals. They dropped their first game to McMaster 7-1, were defeated by Laurentian 9-2, and fell to Trent 5-2. The Queen’s curlers defeated the Warriors 7-5 and Toronto outscored them 7-3.

The University of Waterloo has chosen Carren Hall, a fourth-year kinesiology student, as female athlete of the week. Hall was instrumental in the Athenas’ efforts this week, as the team took two of three matches. On Wednesday, Hall demonstrated why she is currently ranked fifth in number of blocks in Ontario. She recorded 14 stuff blocks, 14 digs, and 23 attacks as the Athenas defeated McMaster three games to two (8-15,15-3,11-E, 15-12,15-12). Hall, the Athenas’ co-captain, continued todominateatLakehead.

, CRASH AND BURN Crash Vegas BOf?ZbShdt~~
January by Peter Imprint
22,1993
Brown Sea ff
Theheatandenergyofapacked Bombshelter pub did not do much to inspire the Crash Vegas#,as they strolled through an %&minute set last Friday night. The Toronto group, fronted by lead vocalist Michelle McAdorey, rendered the material from their debut LP Red Earth competently and their new stuff was certainly intriguing, but they seemed to be treating this show too much like a warmup for their upcoming tour and forgetting that a real, live audience was present. The band hasn’t released any studio material,in three years, but their local popularity, combined with the Federation of Students’ “Free Before 9” policy, meant that the joint was jammed. I’m talkin’, first-rock-‘n’-roll-night-of-the-term jammed. I’ve found McAdorey to be a distant live performer in a larger, theatre setting, but she usually makes a concerted effort to establish a rapport with an audience in a smaller, bar venue. Not so Friday. Though friendly enough, McAdorey, guitarist Colin Cripps, and the rest of the band seemed like
they were sounding themselves out in a studio. Not a promising sign for a band that has taken a year to record their latest LP, due out in March. Their lack of enthusiasm was made worse by the slightly briefer than usual set. Not coming on until about 11:40 p.m., they played until about 12:50 a.m. and returned for a short, two-song encore. They interspersed material from Red Earth -- “Inside Out,” “When the Sky is Falling Down,” “Down to the Wire” -- with their newer stuff. Notable among those were “Nothing Ever Happened,” “Way Too Fast, ” “Please Don’t Ask Me How I Feel,” “Keep It to Myself,” “1,800Days.” Notable because that pretty much itemizes the whole show (see comments above about brief set). To be fair, the Vegas delivered crowd favourites “Inside Out” and “Down to the Wire” with intensity and plenty of groove, but that’s the minimum you expect from band when they are performing songs they’ve done a million times before. A late saving grace came when they finished off their encore with a fast-paced version of the Velvets’ “can’t Stand It Anymore.” Kitchener-Waterloo’s own Groove Daddies opened the show with a 50-minute set charactized by funky bass and guitar grooves, but forgettable vocals. As eerily predicted by Frank “Johnny Canuck”

Nuclear Ned’s nearly .Normal Ned’s Atomic Dustbin Concert Hall, Toronto Monday, Jan. 25,1993 by Kenton Augerman Imprint stuff
What a difference three months makes. Playing to a sold-out, predominantly teenaged crowd at the Concert Hall Monday night, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin were everything they weren’t at the Spectrum last October -- confident, energetic, polished and brilliant. Fans who braved the frigid weather outside and the stifling, sauna-like heat inside were amply rewarded with a 75-minute spectacle rife with strobe lights, flying hair and bass. And what bass! Alex and Mat (the band has two bassists), who get lost in the mix at times on the Stourbridge quintet’s latest release, Are YOU Normal?, came to the fore qnd then some in this live setting. Ln fact, by show’s end, their loud, repetitive pounding induced aural pain. The bassists’ fervor was matched by the other three members. Dan’s drumming elevated “Swallowing Air,” giving it life it doesn‘t have on Are You Normal?.
Did you miss.

intensity during ‘TSelfish,” most notably when he screamed, “Wake the fuck up!” (not that the audience needed a wake up call). The balanced playlist contributed to the excellence of the show. Selections from Are -You Normal? were well mixed with tracks from the band’s previous CD, God FOB&~ (the God FocUer tracks brought the biggest response horn those in attendance). “Not Sleeping Around,” the first single from Are YOU Normal?, was the second song played, ensuring a blistering beginning. It was sandwiched between “Suave and Suffocated” and “Until You Find Out.” The Neds started fast and never looked back. A pleasant surprise was the additionofanewsong,“Prostrate,” to the band’s repertoire. It came across well, evidently having been reheared to some degree. I look forward to hearing it again in the future. This performance more than redeems the Neds for last October%. Here’s hoping the band returns in another three months (or, more realistically, after their next CD is released) and finds a way to improve even more. But that’s going to be difficult.

Gil Scott-Heron appearing at The Phoenix, TOTO& Tuesday, February 2nd by Dave imprint
Fisher staff
It’s been a number of years since the legendary Gil Scott-Heron was last seen around these parts, but this coming Tuesday offers the rare experience to witness in-theflesh one of music’s truly sharpest wits. Although over twenty years in the business have left ,him a fringe curiosity at best, Scott-Heron’s star may yet be on the rise. With the Successes of the Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy and other politically-conscious rap and hip-hop acts, his status as a Frogenitor for many of today’s musical wordsmiths have been getting more and more of a solid workout.
It’s a respect that’s been long overdue. Born in Chicago in 1949 and raised in rural Tennessee, Scott-Heron honed his penetrating characteristic verbal skills on the streets of the Fronx. After receiving an English degree from Lincoln and a Masters from John Hopkins University, (for Creative Writing), Scott-Heron had two novels and a book of poetry published, (Niggw Factby, The Vulture, and Small Tulkat 225th and Lenox), befare he even procured his first recording contract. Despite his training as*a gifted pianist, however, his earliest recordings were ostensibly straight readings of his barbed and incisive poetry. Later teaming up with likeminded music producer Brian Jackson, his subsequent explorations (such as the acclaimed albums Winter In America and Soufh Africa To South Carolina) began to musically compliment his literary excursions and cement his unique artistic persona.

OK, so here it is - Ice Cube’s latest rage against the world. AS this album blasts out of this’ stereo, one can’t help but feel that it’s all been done before. It seems that many rap albums follow the same type of format. You know how it is: couple of boasting bad-asss songs interspersed with interview inserts and Malcolm X speech samples. PC types of songs displaying some sort of sensitivity to women and promoting safe sex are followed by sexist “bitch” and homophobic “faggot” tunes. . Of course, no Ice Cube album ! would be complete without a few slurs against other races while moaning about how white America treats blacks. And, heaven forbid, not including a few songs boasing your prowess with a Gatt or an AK as you drive around your war zone of a neighbourhood. The police provide obvious lyrical inspiration, especially in our post-Rodney King video world. Formula? Yes, but a proven
one. It’s hard to fault I& Cube and others who follow this plan, because it works so well. All you’ve got to do to sell and make a million is to follow the step-by-step pattern provided above. While new and innovative rappers, like Arrested Development or the Disposable I-Ieroes, have received critical acclaim and solid sales figures, it seems that the hard-ass rappers who elicit frothing-a t-the-mouth and throughthe-ceiling-sales. With The Predator, His Royal Ice-ness shows his knowledge of
the game with all of the aforementioned topics. This’is his third fulllength solo release and he was the key member of NWA, during their heyday. Whether you’ve been a fan for a while or were just exposed to him at last summer’s Lollapalooza concert, you should already know what’s in store on the an Ice Cube recording. And is that such a bad thing? Obviously not for those who need some sort of controversial, bass heavy, offensive, but yes, formulaic music in their lives. For those in this category, The Predator is a must. Captain America had chosen in emulation of the American icon for freedom and$stice. Captian America were no threat to them. r However, when Captain America became popular, the monster, with its big, green eyes became very jealous, and wanted their name back. So the monster used its best weapon against the brave Captain America. It sued them. Captain America fought valiently, dodging subpoenas left and right, but soon was overcome by the big monster called Marvel Comics. Marvel Comics took the name back to its cave in New York city,but they couldn’t take the spirit of the band. The band, still together, still fighting, was now nameless. Because a group must have a name, the leader of the band, whose name was Eugene Kelly, took it upon himself to name the band Eugenius, a pun on his name, and the word genius. He thought he was very clever. As Eugenius, they released their first album. It was called Ooma!.~~ma. It was an okay album, but it really wasn’t an album at all, It was a repackaging of their first
Montreal poet/novelist/ singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen has released yet another album titled T7ze Future. Production credits lie not only with Cohen but also with his present live-in lover, actress Rebecca De Mornay. ’ We will assume that she suffices as an adequate scape goat for the overall mundane quality that this new album offers. More than likely, lovers from Cohen’s past have served as inspirational feed for the growth of his creativity. It is simple to come to this conclusion as much of his poetry, particularly his love poems, are full of powerful images that are nothing less than brilliant. I may be pretentious in my twisted deductive reasoning and it may not even be logical. On the other hand, I may have hit the nail ofi the head. Whatever the case may be, I can always lean back on my neurotic tendancy to fall victim to denial. No one likes to watch a mentor fall from grace and I am no different. Of the nine tracks, “Tacoma Trailer” being the onIy instrumental, is a truly beautiful piece and is one of the best on the album. Cohen is the writer of all songs with the exception of “Be for Real” (Frederick Knight) and “Always” (Irving Berlin). Why he has recorded covers of these songs remains a mystery, as neither are exceptionally striking and much of Cohen’s own ingenius writing is still unrecorded. Although he is not renowned as a talentd vocalist and his voice remains unnappealing to some, he continues to enchant fans with his droning murmurs. The slower ballads carryan elusive hypnotic qual-

by Lunce Munion Imprint Staff Who told these guys they merit a greatest-hits collection? Ten years ago they had one decent song that was also a minor hit: “Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)“-more like “ Byrds Fly,” haw har. Anyway, this 1992 compilation serves to remind us that the Icicle Works actually 1 have still been recording throughout all these intervening years. It also serves to cast the Icicle Works in a pretty cynical light. By collecting their “best” work of the past decade, this release makes their career seem like an increasingly des-
perate search for that magical hit number two. When Byrdsy guitar pop didn’t work out, they tried new gambits, ranging from AOR rock (“Evangelin&” -“Understanding Jane”) to MOR pseudofunk (“The Kiss Off”)the only thing these songs had in common was their bland failure to convince. There’s even a song called “Up Here in the North of England” dated 1986-now, didn’t the Dream Academy have their big hit “Life in a Northern Town” in the fall of ‘85? Hmmm.. . “Birds Fly” is about the only thing worth hearing on this record. The other early stuff might have been exciting in its time, but sounds hopelessly generic in 1992. And the later work displays bloated arrangements, unimaginative writing, and intolerable lyrics. One hit does not a career make. How come nobody’s content to just be a one-fit wonder anymore?
The Lovemongers are a four piece band featuring Anne and Nancy Wilson of Heart and two of their friends performing four cover songs. In the publicity sheet accompanying the CD, a Lovemonger is described as a “person who makes music purely for the love of it, an artist who fights hard not to make it an institution. It’s someone who goes up onstage in a turtle-neck sweater, or whatever piece of clothing they happen to wake up in.“ It’s
(4) 3. They know three chords and they can’t sing. (+?) 4. They don’t cover any 70’s hard rock bands.(+2)And maybe best of all, they exude a punk spirit and political anger in songs like “Anarchy and “New World Order”. On the oiher hand, they’re stoopid. Sure, “Lose yourself completely in the idle worship of Elvira” is modestly funny, but “Miss Belgium should’ve taken it” is adolescently dumb. Not that adolescence is necessarily stupid, it’s just that after 11 years, you’d think
the band would grow up. Afterall, no musical growth leaves you with plenty of cliches. And when any musical format becomes cliched, (and 1 think punk is now full of cliches) it becomes as lame as all those golden oldies shows. And anyone who looks back fondly on their youth as “great musical days” will be listening to classic rock stations in,the near future. That all said, I still thi.nk the band’s version of The Bay City Rollers’ “Saturday Night” is a hoot, as is “Hated the 80’s”.

1 go over it almost every week, but today’s “alternative” music is about as interesting as classic rock. So, when we get in a release with a punk pedigree, it’s time to celebrate.(Sort of) Okay, so punk’s kind of old news, but it’s the music that meant most to me when growing up.

Canadians worth their weig-ht in The Stopwatch Gang by Greg Weston Macmillan Canada, 361 pp., $27.95 by Ken

.
Bryson stuff
The Stopwatch gang were the ’ best bank robbers in American history, routinely stealingmoremoney than most robbers would in a lifetime. Stephen Reid, Paddy Mitchell, and Lionel Wright, three affable men from Ottawa, yes they’re Canadian, began robbing American banks in the mid 1970s, after escaping from the Canadian prisons they were serving time in for their “great gold robbery”, The great gold robbery landed the gang five solid gold bricks from Dorval Airport in April of 1974, not to mention 20 years in jail: their informant at the airport snitched. Five years and three separate prison escapes later, the gang was once again reunited in Florida to begin their lives as bank robbers. With fake identifications, put together with the help of a library book, a manual on how to hot-wire cars, photocopied frcm another library book, and a stopwatch to time their robberies, the gang set out across the states robbing banks whenever their cash got low. A typical robbery found the - gang charging into the bank, having cased the place for weeks down
to the detail of knowing even the exact timing of stoplights along all possible getaway routes, vaylting over the counter, taking the money, and retreating to the getaway car, all within 90 seconds. The police had no time to even get to the bank before the gang was long gone, leaving next to no leads+ Of course all robberies did not go according to schedule: if it could go wrong, it probably would. From leaving behind and having to retrieve a briefcase containing an Uzi submachine gun, to charging the doors of a bank closed for a state holiday, the Stopwatch gang had its share of foul ups. For all their planning and attention paid t? detail, Paddy Mitchell once found himself staring down the barrel of his own gun, nabbed by a zealous customer, only to snatch the gun back as the trigger was pulled. The secret: never load the first two chambers during a robbery. The StopwatchGang were truly amazing at what they did. They managed to rob over 120 banks in two years without ever firing their guns. No one was ever killed or inj,ured; the gang went in, got the cash, and left, plain and simple, until they got caught. But you’ll have to read the book to find out how that happened. Author Greg Weston, an investigative reporter for the Ottawa Citizen, has moulded an incredible
Reservoir
Cogs
account of three incredible persons lives as bank robbers and over-all nice guys. Weston has interviewed countless persons having had contact with the gang during their robbery sprees, sorted through endless FBI files on the gang, and met with the gang members on a number of occasions to compile their story. Weston tells not only the sto-
&es of the actual robberies, but also delves into the personal Iives of the gang from the time they became involved with each other until the book was written. What he has created is more gripping than most fictional aecounts of anything; it is’an authenticroadbook that makes Dean Moriarty and Sal Paradise look like hermits. The most incredible fact of the book is that it is all true. From the accounts of each perilous jailbreak to the friends and lovers the gang made along the way, it all happened. While any type of climax the book might have lies in the capture of the gang members, the story continues beyond itself in the life on Paddy Mitchell, still on the loose and the third most wanted man in America. Of the other members, Lionel Wright turned down a parole board hearing in favour of his

series of mys tery fiction.
Jury,
an inspector at Scotland Yard, lives in modem-day England, and the novels feature a curiously-named local pub as a location and the title of each. A forever-recurring character like fury, however, is bound to become worn-out and tired sooner or later; instead of squeezing a few more years of life out of him, Grimes made the wise choice of taking a break from her regular formula and trying something new. The result is The End of The Pier, a fresh novel with a cast of brand new characters and set, for a change, in America. Maud Chadwick, living alone in a small, sleepy new England village, plays friend and confidante to Sheriff Sam DeGheyn; together they try to crack the identity of a killer who stalks local women. They suspect that a man convicted of two of the four crimes is innocent, and despite Sam’s constant petitions to the mayor and the neighbouring sheriff, they can’t convince anyone that the murders are the work of one person, still unidentified.
reason and discourse, rather than running around with magnifying glasses and tweezers. The apparent passivity of the detection process highlights the over-active brutality of the murderer; the tension between the two elements serves remarkably well to boost suspense. (Made the hair on my fuzzy slippers stand up, I tell ya.) - Vze End of the Pier marks a new direction for Grimes, with a more reflective tone and a much more fluid style.

Last year Madonna hustled her erotic voice with her album, Erotica, and prostituded her sexuality with her picture book, Sex. Now, the blonde bombshell attempts to sell both in MGM’s body tingler, Body Df Evidence; a film that‘s all tongue and cheek because it has no body of plot. The preview of the movie styl-
ishly paints the movie to be half courtroom drama and half erotic thriller. But after seeing the actual motion picture, the painting becomes one whole farce. Madonna has tricked the public again (well, me at least), showing that sex sells in the nineties. The performer/ actress ceases to have any limits on how far she will express herself. Body qf Evidence justifies this statement. Madonna stars in this erotic epic as Rebecca Carlson, a woman on trial for murdering a middleaged businessman in hopes to receive
the large sum of money he had left her in his will. Willem Dafoe plays Frank Dulaney, Rebecca’s lawyers and a man that believes her to be innocent. Innocence, however, is virtually nonexistent in this piece of celluloid for lechery dominates the screen. While the film continues to roll onward, Rebecca and Frank begin to roll on top of each otherfrokards, backwards; you name the position and they do it. The plot sounds lurid, but it really isn’t. It’s not even original. One doesn’t need to be an ana-
lyst to know that Body o~Eu; f#ence is remeniscent of Basic Instinct. In fact, the films are notably built from the same
