It would depend on the price ofgoing to the park. Ij Dave Tsao price weren’t a Electrical Engineering; problem, I would U3 check it out. But what’s the percent of the risk involved?
I don’t think so, because it is really dangerous, since youl don’t know what exact conditions they lived in. You don’t know what to expect if you bring them back. Are they going to survive? What sort ofconditions would they live in? What sort ofquality of life would they have? Maybe they would have to live in labs all their lives. You can't bring back their natural environment, so I don’t think it would work.
Yes. For medicinalpurposes... more optionsfor biomedicine. We’d have more options in everythingfrom ecology to what we could do with the animals that were extinct and what they were usedfor, but I wouldn’t want to bring back any thing that was disruptive to ourpresent ecosystem.

complaint by the students is the lack in vari ety of food dur ing mealtime. Last week, roast beef was served three days in a row in the cafe terias.
This year several hundred stu dents were assigned rooms in McGill residences. They quickly realized that their rooms would be tiny and the food would be an experience. Nothing, however, could have prepared them for the way in which the food program is being carried out. Mastering the new cafeteria rules designed by the McGill Food Services will be as difficult and tiresome as some of their first year courses being taken. The cafeteria rules are such that a person is only allowed a certain amount of hot food, juices and bread per meal. The restrictions are enforced to the point that students have had food and drinks taken off their plate because it was not condusive to the rules. Certain things such as cere al, soft drinks, water and salad are unlimited. Susan Campbell, McGill Food Services manager, realizes that the system is not perfect. There are many constraints on the system, such as the labour union contract and physical resources. The facilities are very outdated, especially within the service part of

the cafeteria. They continue, despite these problems, to provide efficient service. "We examine the food situa tion continually, were open to feedback and we try to do what we can within the limits," states Campbell. There are several complaints that the students have with food services. People are still eating poorly, despite the "specially pre pared nutritional meals." They eat what is put before them, namely the unlimited carbonated bever ages and huge amounts of carbo hydrates. This does not allow
room for such needed nutritional sources such as protein and juices. Juices, for instance, can only be consumed limitedly, counting as a dessert in the rez food ‘rules’. Jamie Desjardins is a swim mer on the McGill varsity swim team. After meals, he often has to return to his room and have more food because he is not getting the nutrients that he requires to per form athletically. Further, he often has to take two entrees and there fore forego dessert. "If I didn’t have a fridge in my room, I wouldn’t be comfort able living off what Bishop

I don’t think people should be cloned. Especially, importantfigures from the past... if you cloned George Washington, what he would say, what his clone would say of todays society would obviously have huge effects, because he is so well-respected. What he says of todays society may effect everything that we think about todays society. Although he is in the past, he’sfrom that era. He doesn’t know about this world. . No, absolutely not.

included in their meal plan. There is no such deal at McGill. Another issue is availability. At McGill, the cafeterias are not open all day, but rather, the meals are only provided at specific times. Many students cannot make these times due to class or athletics. Perhaps the strangest rule at the cafeteria concerns the unlimit ed beverages. Students can drink as much water and pop as they want, but they can only drink from the cups provided in the cafe terias. Rebecca Switzer, a varsity field hockey player in residence, com plains that after her field hockey practice she is not able to fill up her water bottle. She has to use the tiny glasses provided by the cafeteria. Switzer finds this situa tion frustrating because she needs to have water after practice. The tiny glasses can hardly quench her thirst, especially after running up the mountain for practice. "I feel it’s unfair that I’m not allowed to fill my water bottle," she explains. "It usually takes me six cups of water to quench my thirst."

half-decade, N ic k l3 , the only consistent member o f the band, brings his selfdescribed American Psychobilly style to disconcerting new heights in this fol low-up to 1999’s self-titled debut. N ic k l3 stands by his distinct brand o f punk-rockabilly, rendering Tiger Army II: Power of Moonlite an almost twangy affair. In fact, if one lis tens to “W hen Night Comes Down” carefully, one can almost hear the sound o f Johnny Cash flipping the bird. He even manages to enlist his former 924 Gilman Street co-inhabitants into his punky-western party, the strangest example o f which being Rancid’s Lars Frederiksen showing o ff his question ably apt slide-guitar skills on the tide

track. Granted, the nostalgic inklings are som etimes amusing for their kitsch value, as on 1950s-era rock punch-ballad “Cupid’s Arrow”. But N ic k l3 takes it one step too far on “In the Orchard”, a painful spaghetti-fest that sticks a spur in the side o f an otherwise decent record. Tiger Army’s cheesy advocacy not only makes for some nasty musical surprises, but it also does a great disserv ice to the band’s sound in general. G eoff Kresge’s use o f the upright bass (instead o f the quick-fire electric bass that carries most blistering East Bay music along) does make for a more pure and charac teristically rockabilly feel. However, its acoustic thinness, when combined with a high-tone guitar sound, leave it to N ic k l3 ’s almost em otionless vocal delivery to bear the weight o f the songs and the entire album ends up sounding a bit too sedate. To cloud matters further, the dark leanings that secured Tiger Army an opening slot on Stoker-core kings T.S.O.L.’s recent summer tour occa

sionally surface mid-song. The excellent but schizophrenic “Annabel Lee” starts o ff in croony reminiscence, only to lapse into spooky etherea, com plete with backing vocals by A.F.I. caterwauler Davey Havok. Also, despite his pledged allegiance to a psychobillia, N ic k l3 ’s punk roots likewise manage to poke through via tracks like “Towards Destiny” and “F.T.W.”, infusing a more traditional ‘let’s go’ energy, serving as a common albeit thin linking thread, and saving the record. Although Tiger Army II: Power of Moonlite is a collection o f undoubtedly good music, it lacks the cohesiveness to make it stand out as a good album. N ic k l3 and his Tiger Army have yet to establish a proper sound and earn their stripes.

Lead king Maxi Browne couldn’t sing his way out o f his make-up case, his cohorts couldn’t seem to keep their levels under ‘one-more-than-ten’, and the whole lot o f them could bloody well care less.
The McGill Tribune, Tuesday, S e p t e m b e r 25, 2001 Earlier this summer, the band released its debut, Vibrate You, unleash ing a solid and merciless onslaught o f sensory offence upon Europe. The pro duction work on the album builds a brilliantly dense wall o f sound that arsewags along to shamelessly grandiose catchiness. This consistent grind o f melodic distortion is topped o ff by squirmily-offensive subject matter that leaves listeners running for the Javex. To rub more glitter into these chaos-inflict ed wounds, King Adora delivers the whole ordeal sounding like an American band trying to be British, all the while exuding too much pandemonium to be glam and too much prettiness to be punk. Still, there is m ethod to King Adoras madness. Musically, the album does bludgeon the listener with an almost sadistic enthusiasm, but it also leaves room for clever subtleties, such as the blended trumpet harmony o f “Smoulder” or the occasional shining electronic loop. Also, amidst odes to shirt-lifting and asphyxia, Browne’s lyrics occasionally don a thought-pro voking wit. “Big Isn’t Beautiful,” the band’s paean to anorexia whose promo video was shot in a Soho skin shop win dow, stoked a flurry o f controversy upon its European release, only to be mysteriously let alone when the biased public discovered it was written from a male perspective. Expansive guitar fuzz and boys wearing kohl. Yes, it has all been done before, but it has not been done lately. In a music industry full o f sickening sac charine, Vibrate You is a welcome patch o f bitter hedonism whose creators regard their alcoholism as a pastime, not a vice. King Adora, I adore ya. - Leah K. Nchama
Seba Ewa! Tinder Records This is my first time listening to Seba and I have got to say that I am impressed. Although some o f the album comes o ff as a little kitschy—like the soft-pop French stations that your chain-smoking Aunt Brigitte listens to, overall it is strong. Seba is the family name o f Algerian musicians who used to entertain their villages with wild tales and musical instruments and the album resonates with this love o f music. You have got to admire a man who com bines James Brown funk with Arabic rhythms and French vocals as he does on ‘M ’Sirda.’ The sheer range o f musi cal influences is amazing with turntabalism, guitars, flutes, and traditional Algerian drum and string influences all combined together. This approach does occasionally fail, however, as a few tracks seem to be overworked. Nonetheless, I appreciate any man who makes his own beats and just plays for the sheer love o f music. Give it a spin. -Jeremy Morris Plastiscene
Seeing Stars Plastiscene’s album Seeing Stars, released in August 1998, was the band’s first full-length C D . In their song ‘Up or D ow n,’ they mention a psychedelic sound, which is perhaps a good way o f describing their music. The sound is somewhere between rock, pop and alternative, with a clear 60s influences as well as a British influence (not sur prising with a lead singer from Britain). There is evident inspiration from the Beatles, particularly the beginning o f the song ‘Tim es D on’t Change.’ Though their music tends to have a unique core sound, they mix elements
o f different styles o f music into different songs. ‘She Goes O n,’ for instance, opens with an interesting orchestral arrangement. T he m usic combines many different elem ents, including acoustic guitar, distorted electric guitar, keyboard/organ, and light percussion. The vocals have good (though some what repetitive) melodies, and occasion al harmonies. The lead singer’s voice also has an interesting sound quality. The excessive use o f second-person in Plastiscene’s lyrics create a bizarre sort o f story-like conversational tone. The lyrics o f this album tend to point out contrasts, like tangible everyday life with intangible expanses o f outer space, or like the average person with Superman. It has interesting qualities, and would likely appeal to a wide range o f listeners.
David W ilcox, but avoids W ilcox’s sometimes-corny lyrics by maintaining instruments-only arrangement. Dawson also sidesteps the repetition that’s an annoying hallmark o f much folk music by writing labyrinthine tunes which lilt their way through theme after theme. But the songs here are symmetrical and concise; the new sections never get out o f hand and the restatement is always close at hand. Dawson inflects his rootsinspired music with contemporary and international flavors: from a little subtle dissonance on “Low Road” to a South American flavor (via early Paul Simon, perhaps) on “Zigzag City.” His fingerpicking technique is immaculate and his utter mastery o f traditional, slide, and Hawaiian guitars is breathtaking. He has an uncanny ability to have his way with a massive, deep-throated steel gui tar as if it were a banjo (cf. Tim Reynolds). Just listening to this music will probably drive any aspiring guitarist to tears. Start planning right now to be at Zubot and Dawson’s show here in Montreal on October 20th at Maison de la Frontenac. -Matt Frassica Moral Panic Whispers from Qu-Appelle Independently released
-Marianna Horn Alost everyone who listens to this Kristi Stassinopoulou Echotropia Tinder Records —860962 Krisi Stassinopoulou creates an album full o f introspection by blending new age with folk-inspired jazz music, genuinely creating a feeling o f ‘sound turned around’ (the literal translation o f the album title). Although ‘Stassinopoulou’ can be a mouthful, her lyrics are regrettably simplified due to the Greek-English translation featured in the C D jacket. I’m not suggesting that her lyrics resemble the complexity o f Pauly Shore’s com edy routine; I merely hope that her verbal styling is as multi-leveled as her musical arrange ments. Stassinopoulou successfully combines Eurobeat mixes with ancient Balkan polyrhythms to create a unique sound that can only be described as a calming sort o f fiery energy. She does not discriminate against any instrument on this album, incorporating such- eth nic elements as the zournas and tsoumbous with the electric guitar and saxo phone, all while using her haunting yet soulful voice to complete this exotic package. All o f these elements lead me to declare that Echotropia is a celebra tion o f life and nature that (by ignoring the anglicized C D insert) can be appre ciated by ajl. -Jaclyn Schwartzman Steve Dawson “Bug Parade” Black Hen Music, September 2001 Has the O, Brother Where Art soundtrack been worn thin through excessive spinning in your C D changer? Are you thirsting for more ‘old-timey’ tunes to jangle up your working week? Perhaps it’s time to investigate a more contemporary inter pretation o f the American roots genre. Steve Dawson delivers all the folksy goods on his first solo release, Bug Parade. Yes, that’s Steve Dawson, one half o f Vancouver’s roots duo Zubot and Dawson. The majority o f songs here are originals, “vicious little tunes,” Dawson says, which had been “flying around in my head for a few years now.” And vicious they are, viciously catchy. Daw son’s sentim ental songwriting recalls that o f American folk singer

to cross the border from th e States C D reponds with: “This is really, really bad.” Others give puzzled looks, or flinch, or make various other facial con tortions. Moral Panic’s Whispers from Qu’Appelle is not an album that will make many critics’ top ten lists. They are a now-defunct punk band from Regina, and this was their first and only full-length recording. It isn’t difficult to see why.'The production value is not particularly good, the album jacket has spelling mistakes, and lead singer Colin H ’s voice is thin and he tends to resort to harsh animal sounds for essentially the entire album. But hey, if you’re into a sound reminiscent o f wild boars mat ing, this is the album for yo'u! Moral Panic does, however, have a certain raw energy. The guitar is hard hitting and powerful, and the band deserves credit for promoting social reform. They bring up important issues like Native land disputes, socialism, and the moral decay they associate with cap italism. Their lyrics are full o f intense teenage angst, and they pepper the tracks with chants, sound bites from political figures and tight little guitar hooks. But as hard as they try, they sim ply aren’t Rage Against the Machine. They give an overall impression o f bored Saskatchewan teens messing around in the basement and taking themselves far too seriously. The pic tures on their website are Polaroids o f gangly, raw-boned farm kids dressed up as, uh, gay cowboys. The first track, ‘Trynottothink,’ is possibly the best, but it still gives a weak overall impression. Give the band credit for trying to rebel a little in a region dominated by coun try twang, but their album is, unfortu nately, a disappointment. -Lise Bondy
