mpri. Imprint is an editorially independent student newspgper published by the Journalsim Club, a club within the Federation of Students, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario. It is solely dependent on advertising revenue for its financing. Imprint publishes every Thursday; mail should be addressed to “The Journalism Club, i=C 140”. We are typeset by Dumont Press Graphix; paste-up is done on campus.

It’s great to see everyone back, rested up from all that Christmas debauchery and ready for some good hard work, at least for a week or two, while New Year’s resolutions are still in vogue. By popular demand, there is no decadence in this issue. I am told that people are sick and tired of it. (For some good clean fun, come down and see us sometime.) Contributors to this issue were: Stephen Coates, John McKay, Ian Mackenzie, Peter Bain, Leslie Gostick, Sylvia Hannigan, Carole Marks, 0. M. Nierstrasz, Nick Redding, Ciaran O’Donnell, John W. Bast, Randy Barkman, Doug Harrison, Mark McGuire, Leonard .Darwen, Mark Winnett, the Karl Friederich Gauss Foundation, Jordan Klapman, Diane Mark, Liz Rootham, and me. . .Lori Farnham. l

1 Editorial .Nine months ago, the Journalism Club was formed for the primary purpose of publishing a new student newspaper, now named Imprint. Those who* started the paper had at least one thing in common: they felt Th& Chevron was a lost cause. It was seen as being dominated by a small, political clique and those who had worked on the-paper knew that it was not internally democratic. Our first meeting was preceded by several months of violent conflict within The Chevron staff, which was split over the direction and policies of the paper. Although the initiative for a new paper was taken by students who had never worked for The Chevron, many of the. dissenting Chevron staff realized that this was the only remaining option and joined the effort. Subsequent events have vindicated the rationale for forming Imprint. Last

Letters

’

Don’t be a passive observer during your stay at UW. Express your opinion in our pages, and experience the power of the printed word. Make that point that everybody else is missing! Tell the high and mighty Imprint that its reporting stunk of this and that, and that we should be covering things that have previously been missed. Drop us a line to keep us iri line. Complain about views-that were expressed in a previous letter so that others can complain about yoiur views. Be inventive. Don‘t be afraid, we won’t condemn your opinion.

November 30, 5091 students voted almost 5-1 to cut off The Chevron’s official status, student fee and office space. The referendum drew the largest turnout in 10 years. Last Tuesday, the Canadian Uniyersity Press (CUP) expelled The Chevron for repeated violation of CUP’s principles of staff democracy. The demise of‘The Chevron’s status at UW and in CUP opens doors for the development of Imprint. Lack of office space, student funding and national advertising (the latter provided by CUP) meant that many of our issues had to be 12 page skeletons, and we enter the winter term pith a $2000 deficit. Now, Imprint has the use of part of The Chevron’s old offices in CC 140 and we have applied to become a prospective member of CUP, which in addition to advertising provides contact w.ith and news

from other campuses across Canada. We will attempt to obtain student support for a separate, refundable newspaper fee. Although The Chevron spent all of the regular students’ fees for the fall and winter terms in a single term, we will attempt to obtain the winter term co-op fees to help us out of our deficit position. These fees (less the refunded portion) will be held in trust by the federatidn until students decide what should be done with them. UW students need and deserve a good student newspaper which is open to all views, which reflects student life and which deals seriously and objectively with major issues facing students. They need a paper which welcomes humour in its content. They need a paper which provides an enjoyable learning experience for students who wish to contribute, whether they as-

pire to professional journalism or not. With student participation and support, Imprint can fulfil1 that function. We need people to take photos, research features, do production, help with administration and contribute to debate. We need coverage of everything that happens around campus, and anything off-campus that affects UW students. If you would like to help build Imprint into a good student newspaper, drop by our office in CC 140. If you have skills, we need them. If you don’t, we want to teach them to you. Even if you don’t want to work on the paper, you can help us by contributing your ideas and opinions, by talking about us to your friends. Imprint has a bright future, so come and try it - you’ll like it. Ciaran O’Donnell Nick Redding

Features There seems to be a lot of things going on at UW that go unreported but remain of interest to many students. You might know of something from an essay- you are writing, or from research you’re doing. Or possibly from some organisation you belong to. If you know of some interesting topic from science, to Kitchener-Waterloo comtiunity to environmental issues, to religion, or anything, then think about compiling information for a feature. (Keep photos and graphics in mind for good presentation). ’

Entertainment If you are a culture-nut in a@ particular field of activities on our campus (dance, opera, classical music, rock concert:, theatre, big band, etc.) then you might be interested in reviewing an on campus production. We are also very interested in movie and record buffs to do reviews. And who isn’t a movie buff? Try it, and tell Clyde Gilmore and Peter Goddard to jump in a lake.

Prose, and

Other

Feeling creative, and iti need of an outlet for your artistic abilities? Then produce! Imprint is looking for your poetry, short short stories, and graphics. You don’t have to be in arts either, according to a recent study that showed thate<en math. and: erigipeerjng studetits had cert&n ‘&-&tie$bilities. Mail your stuff to Imprint, CC 140 or drop in and hc?:-k-1it to us.

If you’re into accounting, or selling ads, or distributing papers, or just making friends, then come out and join the Imprint. Help make it a student paper utilizing all of our talents while getting some education, satisfaction, and fun in the process.

News.

Possibly you know of some scandal on campus. Or want us to cover some eve:It. Phone or visit us. Or better still, report on it yourself. Besides news-copy, Imprint is iilterested in investigative-journalism in topics oi tident interests.

The Imprint’s sports coverage is only as good as you make it. Si’)=,rts. is a priority on our campus, and so it should be in Imprint. If you’re interested, we’re interested. Write sports.

-Arts students will- have yet another degree requirement to fulfil1 next year following the approval, at the Dec. 18 Senate meeting, of the “Group C” requirement. . The proposal that Arts students be required to pass one full credit from a pool of courses that have been designated as Canadian Studies was forwarded from the,Nov. 14 meeting of the Arts Faculty Council (AFC). The matter has seen strong debate at all stages of its development, and has taken a year to reach Senate. Following the narrow passage of the requirement at the AFC meeting (43 to 38), several letters critical of the motion were published in the Gazette. A petition to block the approval of the proposal was circulated prior to the Senate meeting. The petition, signed by 79 members of the Arts Faculty, stated that the requirement as it then stood was unsatisfactory. It claimed the requirement would probably be repealed or extensively altered at the Jan. 9 AFC meeting, and it would be pointless. for Senate to approve

UW may have a prestigious new chancellor this year - if senate nominee Josef Kates accepts the job. Kates was nominated by Senate at a confidential session oftheir December meeting. If he accepts, the official announcement will be made at the Senate meeting later this month. ’ Kates was chairman of the Science Council for Canada, the government’s advisory body on science planning, from 1975 to recently. The chancellor is a figurehead whose only function to award degrees at convocation. However, chancellors can be important in other areas which they define, including fund-raising for the university. Carl Pollock, UW’s former chancellor and a local industrial magnate, died last August. As Science council chairman, Kates lobbied for Canadian “technological soveriegnty.” He argued for private Canadian ownership of high and medium technology industry. Kates has been a supporter of closer research liasons between government, business and the universities. Ciaran O’Donnell

Chevron The Chevron was expelled from the Canadian University Press (CUP) during the 41st Annual Conference in Edmonton this year, for violation of the CUP Statement of Principles concerning staff democracy. The Chevron had been a member of CUP since 1962. Of the 47 papers represented at the conference, 37voted to expel The Chevron, eight abstained and one voted with The Chevron against expulsion. Imprint’s application for prospective membership in CUP was ttirned down at the conference, but the membership mandated the CUP national executive to “look into the status of Imprint, with particular attention to the relation between Imprint and the Federation of Students” and decide on prospective membership “not before March 31, 1979.” The Chevron’s official status, student funding and office allocation was removed, effective January 1, 1979, by a referendum last term which drew the highest’ voter turnout in ten years. Of 5091 voters, 82 per cent decided against The Chevron. The expulsion of The Chevron came after a reevaluation of the evidence submitted to the CUP investigation commission last term, not on the basis of the referendum. The commission concluded that there has been harrassment of Chevron staff by other staffers, but decided that the paper was not in violation of the “letter” of the CUP Statement of Principles. However, the CUP executive and the membership commission reported “The, conclusively evidence proves that harrassment was systematic. It served to subdue any voices of dis-

The Chevron is now located in downtown Waterloo, and Imprint has provisional use of CC 140 until the students’ council meeting Thursday when the offices will be divided amongst various\% media groups on campus. The Chevron left behind dossiers on certain staffers who have left the paper.The dossiers listed their expres-

ebb in winter the end of the three-we& refund period, these refunds *will climb from their current level of 1.5% to somewhere around the 7% level recorded last term. OPIRG reported that only forty students, or less than 1% of the student body, had requested refunds by Monday afternoon. Students wishing to collect this $2.00 fee may do so at the OPIRG office in room 226 of the Physics building. Similarly, very few students have requested the $2.50 CKMS fee. Although these r’efunds were distribtited from an office on the main campus last week, for the remaining two weeks of the refund ’ period they must be obtained directly from CKMS at %the Bauer warehouse. A substantial drop in the number of SciSoc fee refunds so-far this term is attributed by Vice-president Sharon Harris to the greater financial security of cq-op students as combared to regular students. As of Monday only twenty-five students had obtained the $2.00 refund from the SciSoc office in Biology 1, room .2 53. Only returning co-op Geography students are entitled to refunds from the Environmental Studies Society this term, and lit-

To Solve

Cash-Flow

Problem

The Journalism Club, publisher of Imprint, recently negotiated a $6000 loan from the Canadian Imperial BankDf Commerce to alleviate a cash flow problem, caused by Imprint advertisers‘who are slow to pay. Imprint relies entirely on advertising revenue for financing. The loan, which costs one-half per cent above the prime interest rate (presently 12 per cent), is guaranteed by the Federation of Students. This means that the federation will be liable for the debt should the Jour,nalism Club default. However, if the club defaults, the federation will receive all outstanding ad-’ vertising revenue and other assets of the paper. The loan is for an indefinite period of time, with Imprint paying interest each month and repaying principal whenever possible.

Schroeder

amuses

When I read ,tie letter to Imprint from Dr. Schroeder, on Richard Leakey’s ipaleoanthropology lecture, my first reaction was astonishment followed by aIn_usement. One often takes it for granted that serious fundamentalism is very rarely found either in be1ie;ers c&r the age of eight, or outside isolated areas where media, roads, and twentieth century books don’t reach. Such a notion is mistaken. Intelligence and specialized education are in no way guarantees that a given person &ill be devoid of prejudices, fallacious or wishful thinking especially if outside his specialisation. In fact there are instances of men who are utterly brilliant in their own field, but who cling to and indulge in absurd bits of dogma. If one’s mental capacity is low, he will believe something, sometimes arbitrarily, and that - will - be - that as far as h&s concerned. Often, he or she will be unable to grasp counter - arguments. But if one’s IQ is very high, his arguments and justifications will be more cotiplicated and consistent, but he. won’t be exempt from error and seeing what he wants to see. In the words of Poul Anderson, he simply “builds higher ca!tles on higher clouds”. Sometimes, others will be unable to refute him, however perverse and contradictory the position, if he is a wizard at arguing. One of the more obvious inconsistencies of fundamentalism is taking the creation theory as absolute and sac-

With the

rosanct truth (and truth with a sense of emotional awe and reverence) with neither experience nor evidence to even suggest it, and then flatly denying evolution and disregarding or composing excuses for any evidence which suggests or can be more readily explained by it (without a myriad of groundunverifiable less or qualifications).They are also continuing to fight a battle that had long ago been fought, lost, and ended, as most of their side and all the other side have left for other campaigns. This leads us to Dr. Schroeder’s letters (Imprint, Nov. 9 and 30). Because evolution of a series of generations of beings tends t&eoretically toward increased order, he leaps to the highly questionable conclusion that this violates the second law thermodynamics. Surely, a professor of civil engineering kriows better than that. Schroeder has overlooked an essential point so obvious and within therelementary modynamics, that without that premise, the second law is “violated” by many known processes, such as growth, crystal formation, freezing, gravitation, and so on. Suppose we try an experiment by melting ten grams of lead at 600 Kelvin. Then we dump it in water (100 grams) at 200 Kelvin in an ideally insulated calorimeter, measure the final temperature, and calculate the initial entropy of each substance - state and the Tinal entorpy of both (expressed in Joules per Kelvin). Considering the lead only, order of atoms has increased and entropy has decreased, but the lead here is an open system, and if we consider the whole closed system, the lead and water within an absolutely insulated calorimeter, the total microscopic:, order has decreased, and whether we simplify the calculations by assuming constant specific heat capacity values, or use statistical mechanics, to calculate total thermal energy and specific heat as functions of temperature, the results still imply the same facts : that entropy in the lead decreased, but total or net entropy increased. So it is with all closed systems: while entropy decreases or can decrease in open systems - a freezing puddle, a crystal growing from solution, a growing organism, or evolution of a species - total entropy of the

universe or a closed system increases. But “Schroederian” theory denies a decrease in entropy in any system simply because the universe is a closed system;and so, presumably, we are all suffering hallucinations when we see the processes I’ve listed above. * But entropy as interpreted by Schroeder is not only taken out of context, but irrelevant to the main causes of subtle and gradual evolutionary changes as they accumulate: diversity of individual organisms, and survival of the fittest and best reproducing. For example, areas of Africa had been plagued with locusts until DDT took care of that problem for a few years. But a few locusts survived because they happened to have a higher threshold of lethal DDT poisoning due to chance diversity in their genetic make-up. They reproduced to more resistant hoards of locusts, and the more numerous survivors of later DDT attacks reproduced until most of them were unaffected by DDT. Creation theory completely ignores such facts and insiSts that species never change. But it is well known and well recorded that people were measurably shorter and smaller in ancient times than in modern times. Believers in the creation theory will always have pat answers and suddenly appearing qualifications for every piece of evidence in favor of evolution, biology, and cosmology. Creation theory ma5 have been written as a legend, and not at first intended as a literalistic dogma, until used later as a justification for one nation attacking, conquering, and dominating others. It certainly has been used for that purpose later on, by Sptiish conquistadors, Crusaders, and North American settlers. Jon E. Leeson Science

Electrical pulses emitted by athe probe produce observable muscle twitches if applied to motor/sensory nerves. Varying the voltage allows the operator to accurately locate the nerve while producing only mild twitches. Electrical pulses applied to purely sensory nerves produce no twitches, but the patient feels a tingling sensation allowing the operator to precisely locate the nerve. Purely sensory nerves cannot be located in this manner if the patient is under general anesthesia. However, visual positioning, which requires surface surgery, can be used instead.

coveries show promise in the fight to rid mankind of this ‘age-old source of headaches. Cryoanalgesia is a nonchemical method of longterm pain control that blocks the flow of pain by short-term localized freezing of the particular nerve. A self-contained unit to perform cryoanalgesia, which 1 can be performed in outpatient clinics, is being marketed in England by Spembly Ltd., which played a major role in developing the technique. The other discovery, produced by the combined research of two doctors and*a = pharmacologist, is a detailed understanding of the ’ way in which opiates morphine, codein and heroin etc. - block pain in the human body. With this knowledge, researchers hope to be able to develop non-addictive pain relievers. An alternative to drugs, cryoanalgesia can be performed under local anes- (thesia, although a general anesthesia is sometimes needed for apprehensive patients. First, the nerve is located by either direct vis-

located, the cryoprobe is used to freeze the nerve. Nitrous oxide, under a pressure of 600 psi is expanded within the probe head, freezing the tip to -60 degrees Celsius and creating a small iceball around the nerve. The nerve is thawed to 0 degrees, then refrozen for a second tw‘o-minute interval. A thermocouple in the cryoprobe monitors the temoerature.

“The pain just melts away” This freezing causes localized reversible nerve damage. While frozen, all nerve impulses are blocked, making use of this technique for nerves controlling vital organs rather unwise. However, once thawed, motor and sensory transmission is amazingly restored despite the damagewhich blocks the pain. Cryoanalgesia* was recently tested on a group of 64 patients in England, suggering from a variety of long-term sources of pain, 52 of which obtained com-

success. In contrast, the research into opiate -chemistry has yet to produce any testready results at all. However, in the last five years, the previously unknown pharmacology of narcotics within the human body has come to be fairly well understood. In 1973, Dr. Solomen Snyder discovered that the pain-carrying nerves in the brain and spinal column contained specific sites on which the opiates must locate to block the flow of

pain. He went on to map these receptor locations on the different components within the brain. Two years later, Dr. Hans Kosterlitz and John Hughes, a pharmacologist, discovered and isolated two compounds, later found to be present in all vertebrates, which are produced by the body to bind to these sites, and na,med them enkephalins. Scientists now believe that opiates’ inhibit the natural production of enke$halins, which explains their highly addictive properties. The high concentration of enkephalin sites on the amygdala, which plays a major role in regulating a person’s emotions, explains the effects of narcotics on + emotions. Continuing research on enkephalins may soon yield non-addictive pain relievers. Other research goals are enkephalin assisted methods for addiction withdrawal, and treatment of emotionally disturbed patients. Stephen W. Coates

The KARL FRIEDRICH GAUSS Founda. tion has released a report groposing a solution to the housing’shortages which have been reported in other media. The proposed student residence is to be called Student Village 4, recognizing the existence of Village 3 in the Lakeshore Village area. The Foundation released its report, in response to the concern expressed in several articles in the Chevron and the Gazette during the summer and fall of 1974. In-that year a tent city organized by the Federation of Students lasted into October, before the last of its residents found proper accommodations. The report was originally written in April 1975, but its release was ignored until recently. Commenting on this delay, Goz Lyv, who is the hd-Hoc Chairperson of the Village 4 Organ, said, “About the only thing that would happen is that the costs would have to be doubled to account for inflation.” The response of the Administration to the prop&al when questioned by Misprint was encouraging but some concern was expressed. Academic Vice-President Tom Brzustowski felt that the size was slightly excessive, but that at the estimated price (the original figure of $458 million), the residence was cheap at the price. Brzustowski felt that there would be few objections to the project by the Math Faculty. “It would put them in the shadows” he said, adding that this would be particularily true in the afternoons. He had several suggestions however, about possiblti improvements to the design. By reversing the building and having the parking above ground and the residence floors underground, heating and exterior maintenance costs would be greatly reduced. He also suggested that by having the food drop down a sEaft from a ground level kitchen to the dining areas below, the transit time would be reduced and so the amount of cooling will be reduced. The time taken for food to go up to the floors, ,he thought, would result in cold food, especially in the upper floors. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE VILLAGE 4 REPORT: - The structure of Village 4 will be completed in two stages. The first stage will be a 68-storey structur.e. A second stage anticipated to be built between 1996 and 1998 will add 29 floors for a total of 97 stories, - Tutors’ houses will be incorporated in the design and will sit on top of the 97 residence floors. Also on top of the building will be the Warden’s Penthouse. - Total capacity of the Village will be 23,280 students. - A Great Hall directly below the warden’s Penthouse will hold 16,000 people and provide a living-room atmosphere for the residents. - A variety of living situations will be provided. These will include singles, doubles, and some apartments, as well as experimental non-co-ed houses, overcrowded houses misanthropes - The.residences wil,l be built as four essentially distinct buildings or quads, arranged in a pattern similar to Place VilleMarie in Montrea). The quads will be attached to a ‘quint’, the central core. - Parking for the students will be provided by a 13-level underground garage with a capacity of 19,526 cars. - Each quad will be identified by its compass direction and each floor by a colour -(e.g. orange, fuchsia). The colour names will be used only for introducing people to the system, but general use will be by coloured spots. A budget of $23,000 has been allowed for the implementation of fourcolour ability for all on-campus typewriters so that colour codes may be typed directly. - In a visionary move, space’has been provided for a future rapid-transit station in Village 4. - Total cost of Village 4 will be only $458 million (now $916 million; ed.). Expected grants are $19.6 million from the Federal Government and $4500 from the Provincial Government. -- A combination of a $194.83 surcharge per term on tuition fees for the next ,112 years and a realistic rate for the village residences will let the University own the residence outright by 2162. Residence fees for i

Village 4 were estimated at $8,794 per term which allowed for inflation through to the year 2000. Food A new procedure will be adopted to prevent overcrowding of facilities, as now occurs in Villages 1 and 2. Like the earlier villages, residents will eat in additional dining halls. Each resident’s ID card will allow that student access-into his/her dining hall only within a specified 3 minute range for any one meal. For example, at supper time, the resident of North Dun-38 would be required to enter the dining hall on Quint Dun-38 between 5:41 and 5:44 PM. He/she would proceed to the entrance turnstile and present his/her ID card to the computer terminal. If it were the correct time (with a 30 second leeway) the student would be admitted to the dining area.

changed. All he/she will have to do is fill in a “Request to Change Meal Entrance Time Form (5-75)” and distribute appropriate copies to Administrative Services, Food Services, the Village Office and the Warden four days in advance, keeping one copy for him/herself. Transportation Facilities A structure with the size and population of Village 4 will need advanced transportation facilities so that moving about the building does not put too much of a strain on the student. 1. Access Within Village 4 a. elevators: There will be 132 high speed elevators: 16 serving each quad, 64 serving the Quint (16 for each Quint lobby), and 4 serving the Tutor’s Pod/Warden’s Penthou& complex. Each elevator will stop at only 6 floors, plus the lobby; each house will have a single elevator serving it. This will mean ,that a Villager will be assured of an elevator no matter how busy the system is. b. slides: At each of the eight projecting corners of Village 4 will be a large spiral slide. Each slide will have eight lanes, constructed of high-impact teflon-coated plastic, and will be enclosed in a climate-controlled plexiglass cylinder. Every 10 metres the ridges separating each lane will have “flippers” similar to those in’pinball machines. When switched on, either left or right, they will shunt a student riding onethe slide into the lane next to him/her. Controlled-by a minicomputer located in the lobby, these flippers will prevent collisions, and provide safe, efficient travel for the student. -

The Great Hall Each dining hall will be circular in shape, and, driven by a 3 watt motor, will revolve once every half hour about a central core. In order to prevent motion sickAt the bottom of each slide, in the lobness, the floor will be slightly tilted in the bies, a high speed burlap mat retrieval sysshape of a paraboloid in order that the net tem will eliminate the need for residents to acceleration vector points directly down.

Metal detectors will be same roads that now exist in the area (with placed at all exits to cut down on the loss of minor re-alignments). Cars will be accomcutlery and dishes (Village 4 china and modated in the Villpe 4 underground glasses will have metal strips embedded in parking garage.

A special bus terminal for’the Number 7 &lain Line will be constructed outside the North Lobby. For the convenience and protection of villagers, $23,000 has been allocated to move the present bus shelter outside the Faculty Club to its new location at the Village 4 terminal. c. high speed subway: The Village 4 Organ has recognized the advantages of using rapid transit as a viable alternative to the car. The proposed rapid transit line will be a high speed subway loop with stops at Village 2, Village 4, Village 1, Mathematics, Science, Engineering, Arts and the Church Colleges. -Estimated cost of this subway is $295 million. d. helicopter: To accommodate distinguished visitors and emergency hospital patients, a heliport will be construdted atop the Warden’s Penthouse. Security 1. The Principle of Limited Access As experience has shown, past damages to the Villages are invariably caused by non-Villagefs. With this in mind, Village 4 will adopt the principle of limited access. This system will be based on a wholly new identification card to be used by 911 students at the Univefsity. Entrance to Village 4 will be restricted to Village 4 residents only. A villager will only be allowed access to the elevator to his/her house, his/her room and the common living areas in his/her house, including lounges, study areas and washrooms. Any villager desiring to visit a friend’s room in his/her own house need only ask his/her don for a “Temporary Entrance ID Card”. Each don will be supplied with three such cards. Visiting a resident of another house merely involves filling out a J “Request to Visit Form (4-75)“‘. It is anticipated that this new feature will help to reduce costs to the Village by further reducing damages. Every door, entrance and turnstile in Village 4 will be equipped with a special spectroscope/computer terminal. Such a terminal will alow a stu‘dent to pass only if his/her thumb print matches that on the ID* card. His/her house colour spot will also be checked by the spectroscope. Any attempt to bypass the scanner without verification will result in the immediate sounding of an alarm alerting security, and the locking of that door and all possible escape routes. 2. New Security Office With such a large population, Village 4 will certainly need its own Security miniforce. With this in rnied, a special branch of Security will be located in the Quint lobby. Security will have access to all doors, . elevators and stairs. Special doors located in the stairwells between the Quint and adjacent quad houses will be av&lable,only to Security ‘so that a trip to the lobby and back up will be avoided. Officers will also be allowed to use any elevator in the up or down direction. These measures will greatly aid Security’s prptection role,

But what does this have to do with you, you ask. You aren’t even a young man, * and if you were they’d probably make it illegal. Is there any cure for the dreaded blight which has swept our nation and, as if that weren’t bad enough, hidden all the dust under the carpet over in the corner by the cabinet marked “Vast Wasteland”. And if so, why didn’t the last sentence end wi.th a question mark! Like the last one? Remember, “Caveat which means Pre-emptor,” “Beware of television specials” in any language but this. I suppose you’re probably wondering why I’m telling you all this. So am I. But perhaps, just perhaps it has to do with FASS. FASS?

Administration, Staff and Students! So what? So What! Yes, so what? Well, supposing I told you that FASS is the oldest organization on the UW campus. Supposing I told you that every year FASS puts on a musical, satirical and occasionally funny show in the Theatre of the Arts during the first week in February. Supposing I told you that this year it’s appearing at 8:00 P.M. on January 31, February 1 and February 3, and at 7:OO and 10:00 p.m. on February 2. Supposing I told you that it may be the funniest thing you’ll see on campus this term, unless John Cleese accepts a professorship in the Kinesiology department. Supposing I tell you that Wednesday night FASS audiences are traditionally the first people on campus to know the winner of the presidential elections (the Chief Returning Officer is notified shortly afterwards). Supposing I -did all that. Would you care,? But I guess that’s a question only this IBM Selectric can answer. And it’s not Steve Hull talking.

For the first time in recorded history, the federation lost money on a pub with Liverpool. The pub was held last Thursday at the Waterloo Motor Inn, and with attendance by about 300 people the federation lost $850. The loss will be shared by MathSoc, which co-sponsored the event. As usual, Liverpool received an enthusiastic response to their Beatles material, keeping the dance floor full. They played one set bf original material, which has improved technically but still lacks inspiration. Board of Entertainment [BENT) co-ordinator Denise Donlon blamed the foul weather and a competing pub in the Villages for the low attendance. BENT decidedlast term to move its pubs from the South Campus Hall to the ., Waterloo Motor Inn because of the rental and cleanup charges (totalling $185) at the former location. However, the Waterlo: Motor Inn will not give BENT any ‘of the profits from bar sales unless prices are increased. The prices are presently comparable to those at the South Campus Hall. . As a result, admission prices at the new, location will be higher ($3.25 for the Liverpool pub, compared to a past price of $2.50). . Donlon thinks that for a poorly-attended pub, the losses will not be as great at the Waterloo Motor Inn because the wages of the bar staff are not charged against the bar sales. At the South Campus Hall, low bar sales mean that the sponsor must pay for the bar staff.

The next pub scheduled at the Waterloo Motor Inn is on January 18, with Harbinger. Admission is $3.25. Nick Redding

‘Body snatched * “The Invasion of the Body Snatchers” is back for the second time. The original was filmed in 1956, and has become something of a Sci-Fi film classic. I dotibt that this “updated” version with Donald Sutherland in the lead role will prove to be as memorable, but it manages to be both entertaining and unusually innovative - something one doesn’t expect in too huge doses from Hollywood these days. The skeleton of the original screenplay is hardly recognizable here, so it’s best to start afresh: Sutherland is Matthew Bennell, a Public Health Inspector in modern-day San Franscisco. A colleague of his called Elizabeth (Brooke Adams) tells him that her boyfriend isn’t himself; h-e’s an imposter! (“I know it sounds crazy, but. . .“) This happens shortly after large numbers of unidentifiable orange flowers are discovered growing like parasites on other plants. More people begin to act strangely, emotionless, as though there were a conspiracy of zombies, and finally friends of Matthew find one of the Body S,natchers - a humanoid that assumes the
