’
Only four of the 12 candidates in next Monday’s municipal elections bothered to come to’ the all-candidates meeting in the Campus Centre yesterday. The reasons for this would be interesting to know, considering that th.ere are enough eligible voters at UW to elect a mayor. There has never been a heavy student turnout in municipal elections (only a few - hundred voted last time), and this may be a primary reason. Candidates feel that they have nothing to gain by wooing the students. The consequences of voter apathy at UW are severe. The local government has a history of insensitivity toward students,especially in the areas of housing, transporta-

tion and social services. Councillors prohably experience a great feeling of security in that no matter how hard they hit the students, they will not have to account to them at election time. It is time to put the fear of the student electorate into the heart of city council. Only then will it acknowledge the value, both economic and cultural, of the student

A student turnout of a few thousand would open a lot of eyes and ears in the local government. Then, perhaps, the next all-candidat-es meeting at UW would see all of t‘he candidates. Nick Redding

which concerned volunteerism within the Federation. This editorial stated that, “The Federation is being fiscally irresponsible by paying more people more money for what used to be done by volunteers.“, stating as an example that, “Council extended the full-time position of Birth Control Centre co-ordinator for an extra two (i.e. the position was months.” established for three months in all.) I feel that it is unfair to call this temporary co-ordinator’s position a “fiscal irresponsibility” - the Birth Control Centre is certainly one of the best examples of volunteeri‘Sm within the Federation. It has remained open continuously for the past eleven years without pa&l staff, offering free and confidential help to students as well as the community. (Besides birth control, we also deal with unp.lanned pregnancy, VD, or any other sexual issue.) The hiring of a co-ordinator was made necessary by the unexpected loss, last spring, of most of our trained volunteers, through graduation, new jobs, etc. These dedicated people had shared the task of coordination, giving from 6 to 30 hours per week of their free

time, in addition to being fulltime students. These people also shared the job of training new volunteers each fall term, to ensure our continued existence as a Federation service. However, in July '78 it became clear that I would be the only trained volunteer remaining in September. Therefore I approached council, asking for the establishment of a full-time paid position, so that I could set up and run the fall '78 training program for new volunteers. An integral part of this training program is on-the-job experience with an “old volunteer”. Since I was the only such volunteer iemaining, this required me to be in the office on a fulltime basis. Only after completingour s-month training program are volunteers qualified to work in the office alone. We presently have twelve very committed and enthusiastic trainees. If their training program had been cut short by the discontinuation of the co-ordinator’s position, they would in all probability have been deprived of a very unique and important chance to do volunteer work. Surely three month’s salary is not an exorbitant amount for the Federation to spend, when balanced against 11 years of solid volunteerism and a healthy outlook for its continuing in years to come.

Fed buses I thought
unreIiable that it was about
time someone warned the poor students who are foolish enough to rely on the Fed buses. I have beep using the service every week this term
except one, and I can see just how regularly they are screwed up. Last Sunday night, at least 20 people were left waiting in Toronto when the school bus did not show up. This is a rather regular occurence. On the 2 occasions I did buy the school bus ticket it did not show. Once I got a ride on the coach, once I stood on the trip to Waterloo. I guess even that’s better than waiting in Toronto as they had to Sunday. Also, on at least 2 occasions the Friday 11:30 coach was late. A 20 minute wait in the rain was the result of one. The buses are frequently late in arriving at their destination so don’t count on any precise meeting time if you’re going to be picked up (in the transportation sense, of course). Let me offer some hints to the less aware students. Gray Coach leaves Islington at 8:46 and gets to UW at 9:45 which is somewhat faster than the Fed buses. lo:05 and lo:46 buses get here at 12:2O if you decide to try to get here anyway. The
lo:05 is a milk route, you might
as well wait for the other one. Check G.C. schedules if you want to get on at Bay, there are better seats if you can do this. Take note that-many Kitchener buses stop running where you
want this late. School buses ar,e screwed up far more often so it is probably worth your while to spend the extra money for the coach. This is no guarantee, thsugh, as some people with school bus tickets rode home on the coach last week while people with coach tickets had to find another way home. If the difference in cost, 2 or 3 dollars, makes it worth taking the Fed buses then by all means do so. I do. Be warned that you sometimes have to stand on Gray coach too. But at least they will send for another bus for a large crowd and their tickets are good later if you want to wait. The Feds dare put on theirs that there are no refunds although I have not tried to get my money back after these foulups. Where is the trouble? Last year the service ran reasonably well. Are the Feds screwing up the bookings ? I’m sure that there are some disgruntled “standees” who would like to see this person removedi Is it
United Trails? There are other charters available and I’m sure students wouldn’t mind paying an extra quarter for a guaranteed, quick ride home. I for one hate paying the robber barons at Gray Coach 75 cents more than last year (4.95 now) so please straighten out a valuable student service. Stew! Peters
Editorialist
Pompous
The Federation’s budget is in pretty good shape. In fact the only item that is experiencing an overrun is entertainment. It is a perennial problem and I believe the reason is because everybody and their brother had their finger in the proverbial entertainment pie. A full time programmer is a reality at most large universities resulting ,in a very cohesive and break-even program. It is about time we had that professional attitude at Waterloo. I have avoided engaging in a written debate with either paper. I felt that it was counter productive, but so much mud has been thrown in my direction lately that a response is in order. During the summer I felt quite alone lacking a cohesive and working executive and council. When no one is up here working I tend to slack it, but if there is energy and work being generated I become quite vigorous myself. That situation has changed particularly with the election of Mark McGuire as vice-president and Asad Mohammed as External affairs
and Andrij Molodecky as Bent chairmen. These three are putting a lot of their own energies into the Federation which makes me perform more responsibly. This administration is stronger than it ever has been, so two things. Ciaran O’Donnell, editorialist for the Imprint, is a pompous, arrogant reporter who tends to sensationalize figures and occurrences for the sake of being controversial. Your negative attitudes have no , ’ constructive value and you only Succeed in further alienating the already apathetic students from the Federation. As far as the chevron goes, remember, mud thrown is ground lost. I am proud to be involved with the Federation and sad that more of you aren’t. Rick Smit

’ Fed buses unreliable? The Federation of Students’ bus service linking the campus with the Islington Ave. subway station in Toronto is becoming unreliable according to many of its regular users. The service, operated by United Trails, consists of a coach and a school bus with fares costing $3.10 and $2 respectively for a one-way trip. The buses depart from the campus on Friday afternoons and leave from Brewers’ Retail on the corner of Islington and Bloor Sunday evenings at approximately 9 Pm. According to Steven Peters, a second year chemistry, student, the bus service has definitely eroded in comparison to last years service. Peters added,. “The big problem is on the Sunday night return trip. The school
bus frequently does not show up leaving people stranded.” Furthermore, “the problem is worse for those who are not permanent residents of Toronto.” According to Guy Middleton, a Village Two student, on one Friday afternoon, a bus was cancelled without notice due to poor ticket sales. An unidentified female student tried to get a refund this week after she was stranded in Tornto by a driver. Apparently, he promised to return to Toronto after completing his initial run to Waterloo and pick up students who could not get rides on the 9 pm departure. She said he told them to wait until 11:30 pm that night, but never returned. Federation vice-president Mark McGuire told Imprint
News Shorts Babysitters

Supply
Students with children are having a hard time getting away from them due to an apparent shortage of sitters who work for reasonable rates. Maryanne Bowden, the Grad Club’s administrative assistant, told Imprint that she receives numerous requests for babysitters but is unable to help for lack of them. The Grad Club maintains lists of people who offer services at reasonable rates, such as typists. Bowden explained that commercial sitting services charge about $20 per day, which is beyond most students’ finances. A reasonable rate for students would be between $1.50 and $2.50 per hour. Bowden said she would like to see the range of service referrals by the Grad Club expanded to include other tasks such as looking after homes when the occupants are away. Anyone interested in supplying such services (especially babysitting) should contact the Grad Club during office hours. 1

that there are two possible reasons for the poor’service. “Either Luise and Lance Othmer, who work for the federation arranging bookings did not arrange for two buses, or the two buses were arranged for but Lischmann (the bus line) only provided one,” he said. He added that there would be some kind of investigation into what had gone wrong, since problems had occurred two weeks in a row. Both he and Peters agreed that the buses provide students with a valuable service. Peters said “It has been a lifesaver at times. I would like to see the service improve to a reliable level.” Leonard Darwen
Chevron The Engineering Society is circulating a petition this week calling for a referendum on the future of the Chevron, UW’s official student newspaper. The petition has already obtained the signatures necessary and the referendum will probably be held at the end of the month. Under federation bylaws, the signatures of five percent (approximately 800 students) of UW students are required before a referendum is called. By 4 pm on Tuesday, the first day of the petition, over one thousand signatures had been collected. The petition reads “Should the Chevron, as constituted November 30, 1978 (be it incorporated or not incorporated), continue to be the official student newspaper of the University of Waterloo retaining its current office space in the campus centre, and current student levy.” “The results of this referendum are to become effective on January 1, 1979.

An all-candidates meeting for next Monday’s city elections, held yesterday in the Campus Centre great hall, drew only four of the 12 people running for the Waterloo council. One to the candidates, Doreen Thomas, left after making a short speech leaving WLU student Mike Sutherland, Walter McLean and Mary Jane Mewhinney to answer questions from the audience. The -~~_ candidates _-~~~------ -- ~~~mentioned housing and transportation as issues affecting students in the Waterloo community. Thomas said that public transit in Kitchener-Waterloo is “extremely poor” and claimed that she has never seen it as bad elsewhere. 4 Thomas did not say how the service in KW could be improved, and left before she could be asked. Her election material states that she believes in “tight control of expenditures.” Asked if students should receive discount rates on the buses, McLean said that it would not increase usage, Mewhinney said that she doesn’t think students should be singled out for additional subsidy, and Sutherland agreed that some type of assistance is desirable. McLean said that parking on campus is so cheap that there is not enough incentive to use buses. He feels that this is the cause of Kitchener Transit’s problems. On housing, Mewhinney said that homeowners are
discouraged from renting to students because of zoning restrictions and the fact that rental income is taxable. She feels that loosening the regulations would increase the number of places available to students -near the universities.

# Music pxgrme President Burt Matthew’s announcement at the genera1 faculty and staff meeting of October 24 that the UW music programme will be eliminated next year has left the 150 people involved in the programme somewhat less than overjoyed. In a mass interview con-ducted after the regular Tuesday night choir practice Nov. 7, the people directly affected by the cut back voiced the unanimous opinion that music was a valuable asset to the university, and most cer_tainly not an asset to be lost so lightly. Comments of “a school needs music,” “Concerts are one more interesting feature of the university” and “It’s a way-just to get tbgether” attested to the
Ess
popularity and usefulness of music at UW. Engineering student Alan Bath made a poignant footnote to the comments, saying “A university is supposed to be an academic and cultural centre for students
axed
and the community music makes university something more than physics and engineering.” Dana Bell-Smith added, “It’s going to piss me off having nowhere to go Tuesday nights.”

In 14 years of UW’s 20 year history, the extracurricular music programme has offered a concert choir, a band, a stage band, and a symphony orchestra. As of next June, the programme director, !Alfred Kunz, will ‘be dismissed from that position. Currently, the UW administration pays Mr. Kunz’s salary, and the Federation provides more than $5,000 in cash flow plus a $500 subsidy to keep mnsic in the air. If Kunz’s salary is taken into account, the programme is “nowhere close to supporting itself,” although the operating budget itself over the years has rarely shown a deficit, Matthews says.

The Imprint invites students who are working in scientific and technical fields of interest to write science features. However, please discuss the topic with the science editor first. Please leave outlines in ahe Imprint mail box in the Federation office. The history of telecomNorth munications in America has been one of continuous innoyation and invention as telephone companies kept pace with ever-growing demand. The importance of R & D to the communications industry is such that for many years, Bell Telephone Labs in New Jersey has been a leader in electronics research (the transistor, the laser, etc).
of light over optical fibers became feasible, touc?ling off redoubled interest in the new technology worldwide.
Curiously enough however, a recent discovery which must be ranked among the most significant in the field of communicaAlexander tions since Graham Bell first got a busy signal was made not at BTL, but at Corning Glass Works.
But how does a fiber optics communication system work? Very simply, a modulated light beam is produced by varying the power supplied to a light emitting diode, or, in more sophisticated systems, a solid state laser. The light beam, carrying the desired information, is conducted along an optical fiber to a photodiode. At the photodiode, the light signal is reconverted to an electrical signal which can then be passed to the user by conventional display or speaker technology.
There, in 1970, workers succeeded in making thin fibers of glass of such high purity*that light could travel through 1 kilometre of fiber with only a 20 decibel loss in intensity. With this discovery, long distance communication by transmission
Light is conducted along the optical fiber by a series of internal reflections. The fiber is conStructed with a glass core which has an index of refraction slightly greater than that of the cladding. Total internal reflection occurs at the interface between the core and
the cladding, provided the angle of incidence of the light is greater than some hinimal value. In this way, optical fibers can conduct light around sharp bends and over long distances. Since there is a sharp discontinuity in the index profile of the fiber (between the two layers) it is referred to as a “step index” fiber. More advanced fibers are constructed with a graded index profile. That is, the refractive index of the core glass decreases in a roughly parabolic manner with distance from the center of the core. Light rays may be envi.sioned as curving back towards the center of the fiber, rather than reflecting in a specular manner from the core-cladding interface. Graded index fibers were first developed in Japan by the Nippon Sheet Glass Co. Their “self-focussing” feature gives them a higher transmission capacity than step’ index fibers. ’
(Everything you’% heard about BRADOR is true.) _
Although this basic technology has been around for a while, two major drawbacks - coupling and connections - have withheld its implementation. Fouplings are units which produce two output signals from one input. These have been realized recently by fusing the fibers, so that the inner cores are in contact. Connectors have not required any breakthrough, but have been made pq,ssible by precision fabrication. To permit proper transmission, both a flawless surface and a near-perfect alignment are needed. Some readers may be wondering what advantage there could be in converting an electrical signal to an optical one for transmission, when the same signal could be transmitttid by conventional means over copper cables. The advantages are numerous. The most important one is that optical transmission systems have a much higher
1 ..
bandwidth that the most advanced copper cables. They can carry more information over a given distance, or thesame arnount of information over a longer distance. This means a cost saving in situations where large amounts of information must be transmitted over long distances. The best example is a telephone trunkline between two switching centers in a large dity. The trunkline carries all calls from one district of the city to another. Typically, a trunkline must be able to transmit thousands of telephone calls at the same time. Fiber optics is so well suited to this application that an optical trunkline has already been installed by Bell Canada in Montreal. The more publicized fiber optic installation in Chicago (you may have seen a television commercial) was also a trunkline. Closer to home, another type of trunkline is now being installed in London, Ont. The line will be used by a cable TV company to bring twelve TV channels and several FM signals from a microwave receiving tower to the cable TV distribution center. (A television channel occupies 1000 times the bandwidth of a j\ telephone call.) The London trunk system is being installed by a new Canadian firm, Canstar Communications, in partnership with Harris ,Telecommunications of Florida. A second advantage of optical transmission systems over copper cables stems from the fact that glass fibers do not conduct electricity. High external electromagnetic flux will not induce currents iti an optical transmission line which would result in noise at the receiving end. Such electrically noisy environments are found at electric power stations, where fiber optics have already been put to work in monitoring and control functions. Copper cables {previously used in these environments had to be extensively shielded, at high cost. The insulating quality of optical fibers is also important in cases where it is desirable to isolate electronic equipment from damaging high voltages. For this reason, as well as for their high bandwidth, optical fibers will’*see wide use in computer mainframes and in mainframelinks. A to-peripheral number of fiber optic manufacturers have developed fiber optic cable aimed directly at the computer market.- A leader is 3M, who supplies flat optical cable with factory mounted optical trpnsmitters and receivers $hich can be plugged directly into a printed circuit board (PCB). Hewlett-Packard and Honeywell have also developed optical transmitter and receiver modules (made up of a photodiode or an LED and the requisite cir-
cuitry) on a single chip which can also be mounted onaPCB. In the more distant future, it may be possible to manipulate the optical signals themselves in order to perform logic and storage functions without conversion to electrical signals. A third advantage of fiber optics is that the thin glass fibers are three to five times lighter than copper wires. While this makes most installations much easier, it is of special importance to the aircraft industry. A United States Air Force study recently showed that each pound (.454 Kg) saved in the design of an aircraft was worth $1000 in fuel savings over the life of the aircraft. This saving was more than enough to justify use of fiber optics in all control and monitoring functions in airplanes. There are also many special applications of fiber optic technology. Some fascinating pictures have been taken Secently with endoscopes - small bundles of optical fibers which are small enough to be inserted into the body without harm. Endoscopes have also been a boon to doctors attempting to diagnose disorders of the* digestive tract, etc. ITT, not to be outdone by AT&T, have released a TV commercial of their own. It describes a fiber optic communication which can monitor 16 Llife signs in a diver many feet lYelow the surface. Since the optical fiber cable is so small, it does not inconvenience the diver while adding greatly to his safety. The application of fiber optics which is probably of most interest to readers has been recently demonstrated in Japan. Exploring the “wired city” concept, the Japanese have used the high bandwidth of optical fibers to bring interactive cable TV into the home. Housewives can actually shop by TV, and office workers need not commute to the city core. Admittedly, the wired city is a thing of the distant future. But fiber optics will ultimately make them possible. Since 1970, when the 20 dB/km barrier was first broken, fiber optics have come a long way. Attenuation losses have been pushed lower and lower untilfthey now approach the fundamental limit set by Rayleigh scattering. Today, production fibers are available with attenuation less than 4dB/km. Although R&D will continue, fiber optics are now well into the process of moving from the lab to the field. The went which best marks the end of the research-only era in fiber optics is the recent recognition of K. C. Kao. Dr. Kao, who is credited with predicting in 1968 that 20 dB/km or better fibers could be made, was awarded a Nobel prize this year for his work in fiber optics. Les Coles

heard that it is more difficult to believe in evolution than in creation. As an engineer, I have confidence in the second law of thermodynamics which states that energy flows basically in o>e direction and consethat matter quently approaches slowly a final state from which there is no return. I appears that matter had a beginning as it will definitely have a final state. Another interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics is that the universe moves from a state of higher order to a more random state. The hypothesis of evolution requires the reverse. I believe in God’s creation as it described in the Bible: In the beginning God created heaven and earth, then light, then the firmament, then grass, the herbs and trees, then the stars, then fish and fowl, then beast and cattle and finally man in His image. Thus, creation means abrupt introduction of new species, for which ample evidence exists. The continuity aspect of an evolution is crucial for the hypothesis of evolution, but has never been proven because of the still missing links. Dr. J. Schroeder Professor of Civil Engineering

Censorship
It was printed in boldface under Letters in the Imprint of Nov. 2, 1978 that my last response to B. Calvert’s response was not printed, as the Imprint staff felt that the debate on determinism had gone on long enough and that it had turned into a lengthy personal dialogue. It-was also stated that the letters by me and B. Calvert on this topic will not be printed and in particular a shortened version submitted by me will not be piinted. This action of the Imprint represents in my opinion “aviolation of free expression of opinion. The Chevron has to date printed all my letters to feedback, even though some dialogues were quite long. If the Imprint wants to restore my confidence in its proper professing of freedom of the press, it should print my last response to B. Calvert of Oct. 24 in full and give Mr. Calvert a chance to reply. I had stated in my last response, that I will not discuss determinism with Mr. Calvert any further and gave fhe reasons for it. Dr. J. Schroeder

The lean-Francois Paillard Chamber Orchestra is coming to UW! If that raises but a few eyebrows, that would be a sad, but hardly surprising situation, for the cries of “Carlos who?” and “Anton who?” still ring in my memory from the Montoy2 and Kuerti concerts. Paillard’s predicament is more serious, for, though this is possibly one of the three finest chamber or&estras in the world, the others being the Academy of St Martin’s-in-th>e-Fields and the Concentus Musicus of Vienna, there are shockingly few recordings available in the country of Paillard performances. One record, though, including an intensely moving performance of the Canon in D by Pachelbel, has justly become a classical bestseller in North America. Another, more recent, recording of Jean-Baptiste Lully’s Te Deum seems to have also made some impact. Whereas the Concentus Musicus is famous for its performances “authentic” of Baroque music, and the Academy has a reputation for amazing versatility, playing even 20th century works, the Paillard Orchestra is renowned for its precision and sumptuous textures: their performances of Baroque music are almost &Romantic in nature, which may not please the cognoscenti, but this can be very satisfying indeed. Their concert will begin with a selection of French Renaissance, Baroque and Romantic music - the latter two by Rameau and Roussel, respectively - and the second half will consist of three concerti by Antonio Vivaldi, the Venetian priest of the early 18th century,

“The Dark Design” is‘the most recent book by Philip Jose Farmer;one of the most original and imaginative of today’s science fiction writers. This is the third volume in his tremendously popular Riverworld series, preceded by the earlier novels, “To Your Scattered Bodies Go”, a Hugo award winner, and “The Fabulous Riverboat”. / As both these earlier novels were first published in 1972, the sequel has been eagerly awaited.

A group of scientists find the fossilized hand of a Gill Man along the banks of the Amazon River. Retprning to the Amazon with better equipment, the research squad locate much more than they had wished for, in the form of the living amphibian, The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Presented in 3-D, this classic 1954 monster movie throws spears, bodies, and debris (and the usual damsel in distress, with whom the creature eventually absconds) at its audience. The creature himself is a (relatively speaking) fine work of craft. His he.ad-totoe rubber suit is the most plausible costume the fifties created; his actions and sure footedness in the environment appear quite credible. And what about those lips?! “The Creature” will be playing in the Humanities Theatre at 8:00 pm on Thursday, November 9th. Mike Longfield

Bowie/Stage
,
_ As a long-time David *Bowie freak, I’ve managed, to follow him through his countless metamorphoses without too much trouble, but lately, it’s been getting more difficult. His latest offering is Stage, a double live album. Most of the material is fairly recent, (2 songs from Station to Station, 4 from Low, 5 from Heroes), with Fame and 5 songs from Ziggy Stardust thrown in. Bowie performs the songs from Low and Heroes with much more conviction than on the studio albums; he seems to be comfortable with them now, whereas on the original albums, he seemed to be making them up as he went along. His voice is in very good condition, especially on Ziggy Stardust material, and all the words come out very clearly, since his accent has almost disappeared. But there’s something missing on this album. It’s forgettable, which is very unlike Bowie. The influence of Eno, Kraftwerk, and others ‘has managed to rob his music of its originality. ‘There’s nothing here that even comes close to albums like The Man Who Sold the World or Diamond Dogs. The problem lies in the material itself, not in the way it’s played, since Bowie is technically at his best here. The songs from Low and Heroes are simple and mechanical; the lyrics seem chosen almost at random. You get a succession of quick images instead of a complete, sustained vision like Ziggy Stardust or Diamond Dogs, where even the album cover was part of the story. Bowie sings with the same detachment. There’s nothing of the passion of songs like Cygnet Committee or Rock’n Roll Suicide. It’s very precise, calculated, and dull. This a’lbum crystallizes what Bowie has been doing for the past three years or so, and in that sense it’s valuable. The songs from Ziggy Stardust show how much he’s changed. In a live show, like his concert in Toronto last May, Bowie can carry off his music, even make you believe it’s really good. But on record, there’s no excitement; nothing ties it all together. It comes out sounding bland. It seems Bowie has given up trying to shock people, which is sad. He was so good at it. The man who -sold the
world has become the man who’s too busy selling albums to thinkeof anything else. In the cover photo, Bowie looks healthy, cheerful, and even nice. I never thought the word -“nice” would apply to David Bowie. It’s a terrible disappointment. Lori Farnham

When I checked the credits to see which unknown studio musicians backed up the young lady, I came across the names of Bob Andrews, Andrew Bodnar, Steve Goulding, Brinsley Schwarz, and if that doesn’t give it away, Graham Parker, Nick Lowe, and a backup vocal ensemble called the “Rumourettes” - yeah, now we know what Graham Parker and the Rumour did with the time they bought by releasing a live album. I don’t know how Miss Carter got mixed up with them, but somehow some of the brightest lights in the English New Wave movement help out on this album. OK, so I overcame my initial reaction and decided to give the disc a spin. You’d

She’s made a distinct effort to keep away from that style: at least one of the songs (“I Once Knew Love”) has instrumentation that even Jackson Browne would have grafted pedal steel guitar onto. It’s not here. This is a finely crafted pop album. Carlene’s voice is both powerful and passionate, deeper and richer than one would expect. She has taken material from several songwriters, including two of her own compositions, and also plays a bit of piano and acoustic guitar. And best of all, the music is just great: now catchy, now pensive, now heartfelt. This album/deserves to break in the biggest way. Look out, Linda Ronstadt. Prabhakar Ragde
Lougarou Garolou From its beginnings as “Lougarou” (in English, “werewolf”) this band has combined traditional French Canadian and French folk tunes with modern rock arrangements. Like many successful French Canadian musical groups, Garolou tours the province of Quebec widely; playing CEGEP’s, small theatres and hockey rinks, as well as major Montreal gigs. Other stops have included French parts of Ontario and New Brunswick, but as yet the group has not ventured into Englishspeaking centres of the country. The first album the band produced was released in 1976 and was simply titled “Lougarou”. Band members then were Marc Lalonde bn bass, with lead vocals; Michel Lalonde on acoustic guitar, with lead vocals; Michel Deguire on drums; George Antoniak on electric guitar with vocals; and Steven Naylo’r on piano and synthesizer . The songs ranged from a California-style arrangement of “Ah, toi Belle Hirondelle! ” to Jethro Tulllike guitar and piano arrangements largely influenced by the group’s piano player, Steven Naylor. He contributed the only original composition, “Eclipse”, which is a solid instrumental piece. Other solid arrangements may be found in “La Belle Francoise” and “A la Claire Fontaine” both illustrating haunting and yet soaring guitar and

piano passages. Lighter songs in better known French Canadian folk arrangements are “Dis j Moi, Charles” and “Un Bon Matin”. Lead vocals by brothers Marc and Michel Lalonde may be a bit disconcerting at first, but tend to grow on the listener. A fine performance on violin from guest fiddler Robert Lalonde can be heard on the “A la Claire Fontaine” cut. ‘This was an impressive first effort for a band little known outside Quebec and border areas. _ After the first album’s release and a subsequent tour, the band ran into some legal wrangles with a law> suit brought against them by the Quebec folk-dance troup, “Loup Garou”. The latter won its case and the band was forced to change its name to Garolou. This also delayed recording of the group’s second album. Finally they started recording their album in February of this year and came up with an excellent album ‘released soon after and titled simply “Garolou”. Naylor and Antoniak left and were replaced with Quebecers Gilles Beaudoin on guitar and Reginald Guay on keyboards. Again, Robert “Bobby” Lalonde guested on violin for the sessions. Songs were again drawn from traditional French Canadian and French folk repertoir. The guitar work of Gilles Beaudoin is excellent throughout the album, where every cut but one is solid, but most notable are “Aux Illinois”, “La Complainte du Mar&ha1 Biron” and “Germaine”. Vocals are

McGill, Toronto, Waterloo and the number one ranked St. Francis Xavier X-men will be present. conference Atlantic teams which dominated the and rrational rankings championships last year, should again dominate this year as an extension of their eligibility rules has permitted last year’s fourth-year players to remain and has also allowed old-timers such as Mickey Fox to return for one more year. Mickey, who played for St. Mary’s a few years ago, has returned to last year’s national champions. For the past two years Fox has been playing for the Halifax senior team which knocked off Estonia in the final minute (Fox scored the winner himself) of last year’s senior championship game. His performance at that was awetournament inspiring, so much so that one is inclined to wonder how any one can be ranked ,ahead of SMU (which is officially ranked behind York and SFX).

The Warriors were led by Seymour Hadwen who played conservatively but managed 18 points against an intimidating line of defenders. Pat Brill-Edwards, showing unexpected shooting poise, and Doug Vance contributed 13 apiece. ‘Waterloo coach Don McCrae provided plenty of time for all 14 players (including five rookies) to get on the floor. In addition to Hadwen, Brill-Edwards and Vance, Steve Garrett, Ron
Graham, Leon Passmore and Jim Commerford played well and look to be in line for busy seasons. Traditionally the McCrae system sees 7 or 8 players from a team of 11 or 12 getting most of the playing time. It is, of course, too early to tell, but it would appear that these 7 will make up most of the team nucleus. One would imagine McCrae to be looking towards Tom Fugedi or Richard Kurtz for extra muscle and scoring power under the boards, and towards his rookies for an extra point guard, perhaps one with some outside scoring potential.

The UW Hockey Team continued its pre-season play this past weekend as they journeyed to Ohio State University. The Warriors played two exhibition games, losing them both by scores of 10-2 and 10-4. Despite the losses, Coach McKillop was happy with the performance of his team. It was a good workout for the players, and it gave the coach a chance to observe some of the rookies. Unfortunately, it was an expensive trip, four of the team’s players sustaining injuries. However, McKillop is hoping that they will all see action again soon.

in semi-finals
The UW Soccer team concluded play for the season, as they were defeated by Laurentian in the semifinals. The game was a sudden death playoff, and the loss ended the Warriors’ hopes for an Ontario championship. The season was a tough one for Waterloo, with many disappointments. However, the team should be congratulated for their strong effort and fine soccer throughout the season.

21-3
The UW Rugby Team played their final game of the season on Saturday, defeating the University of Toronto 21-3. The win gave the Warriors a 5 and 3 record. However, it was not enough for a playoff spot, and Guelph and Queen’s will battle for the championship. The seconds also won, 13-9, giving them a 6 and 3 record. Although the Warriors regular play is finished, the University of Waterloo will be sending a team to the seven aside tournament on Saturdai. This is a different aspect of rugby play, but is attended by most universities in Ontario. Waterloo won the tournament in 1975. The Rugby team has learned that one of their players, Murray McCormick, has been chosen by the Ontario Rugby Union fo try out for a tearn that will be touring east Africa. This is a real honour and indicates the caliber of players at Waterloo.

Both teams showed consistency and stamina in the playoffs and they deserved to win. On Monday, October 30th the four semifinals took place. In a thrilling game St, Jeromes squeezed out the Greeks by a 2-1 margin, and C.S.A.I. bent Dirty Feet 3-2 after over-time. In the B league, Conrad Grebel were lucky to beat Systems United with only a one goal margin and Chem ‘79 upsetted Mech Mats by 2-1. The finals were played at Seagram’s Stadium the following night.

cblleges a near close, it becomes apparent that those teams who consider themselves ineligible for playoff action, may not show up for their remaining games. It is hoped that these teams consider their existence at these games, a potential threat for upsetting both the teams in their respective division and the league in general. Only six teams remain undefeated. In the A league, the Straight Shooters (3-O) and South D (S-O), have outscored their opposition 1\8-9 and 30-14 respectively. Shear Force (2-O-1), Ed Dirigibles (3-O), Math A (2-O-2), Math B (4-O), and South D (4-O) are consist’ent winners in the B league.

Soggy South beats out Kin Killers Wednesday, the week before last, ‘was the Women’s Intramural Flag Football Finals on the Village Green. The weather was just rotten, windy *and rainy, but that didn’t stop the Kin Killers and South Quad V2 Macho Broads from coming out in full force. Other masochists standing out in the rain included dons Terry (SB), Katina (SC), Rob (WA), Bob (Coach, SA) and various other crazy fans from South. The game looked like the Kin Killers had it in the bag as they forged ahead in the first five minutes with a touchdown. The South team looked fairly depressed until the fans boosted their sagging spirits and an interception was caught for a touchdown and a convert. After the Kin Killers made another six points and held off South until five plays from the end, when South caught the ball in the endzone and sewed up the game 13-12. The rest is history. This is the fourth year in a row South Quad has won the women’s flag football, and they are one happy_^ bunch - _ot soggy fans and tootball players.
