Impri Imprint is an editorially independent student newspaper published by the Journalsim Club, a club within the Federation of Students, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario. It is solely dependent on adveftising revenue for its financing. Imprint publishes every Thursday; mail should be addressed to “The Journalism Club, CC 140”. We are typeset by Dumont Press Graphix; paste-up is done on campus.
Editorial When Harry Parrott was minister of Colleges and Universities, he occasionally justified his regressive policies by harking back to “the good old days” when he was a student of dentistry and life was really tough. His successor, Dr. Bette Stephenson, has yet to say how tough it was for her as a student, but speaking at the University of Guelph Tuesday she proved to be at least as naive as Parrot. Asked how universities can maintain quality with an increase in grants of only 4.95 per cent for 1979-80, she said it will take “belt-tightening and imagination.” But Stephenson has no idea where the cutbacks should be applied: when asked this, she proclaimed that spending in the 1960's was “lavish” and the result of a “magnanimous” attitude towards education. She repeatedly suggested “thrift” as a policy for afflicted institutions to follow. Stephenson seems to ignore the seven years of cutbacks in post-secondary education funding that started in 1972. The
glorious 1960’s ended a long time ago, and there is no fat left to be trimmed from Ontario’s universities. Of course, she was unable to nave any specific areas of restraint in university spending that would not affect quality or accessibility, for which she claims Ontario is “second to none” and intends to maintain. Stephenson went on to claim there is no direct relationship between funding and the quality of education. While funding does not guarantee quality, cutbacks in funding certainly reduce quality. Accord-
ing to the Ontario Council of University Faculty Associations, the recent funding announcement means layoffs for as many as 50(! Ontario faculty (see Imprint, Jan. 9). This will bring larger classes and less time for students to consult with faculty, and the inevitable result is a lowering of the quality of education. Perhaps the most damning moment for Stephenson came when she said differential fees for foreign students are justified because most of these students are financed by their home governments, which

can afford to pay. She was contradicted by Donald Amichand, Guelph’s foreign student advisor, who said at least 400 of Guelph’s 600 visa students do not receive scholarship support; they are financed privately. Stephenson has a lot to learn if she wants to be remembered in a kind light. At present, she is taking Ontario down the same road as did Harry Parrot, to the eventual decline of the quality and accessibility to post-secondary education in the province. Nick Redding

Co-op placements Co-op job placements for this winter term were one of the best yet. Only 13 students of 3,026 (3.3%) remained without jobs as of Jan 3 1, according to figures released by the director of Co-ordination and Placement, Ray Weiser. The placement rate was better for all faculties this year as compared to last year. The number of students left unplaced in Engineering was half that of last year. These figures are even more encouraging considering that the number of co-op students has increased over last year, while the total enrollment at UW has dropped slightly. When asked why the placement rate was so much
better over last year Weiser said that, “Last year more students were admitted (to co-op) than was possible to place.” He said the, “Coordinators are getting more efficient, better at finding jobs.” He explained further that jobs do not appear instantaneously, “what’s developing this year is last year’s efforts”. Weiser gave an explanation as to why some students were not placed: “The location demands for some jobs are difficult, and some students, for health or other reasons, are unplaceable. ” He added that “some students are too demanding, and that others can’t compete with their peers.” He stated that in the end emp-

The Arts Faculty Council (AFC) rescinded its Nov. 14 motion to implement a “Group C” (Canadian studies) requirement Jan. 9. It recommended that the matter “be referred to a Dean’s committee for extensive study”. The Senate, which previously instituted the Nov. 14 motion, will discuss the matter Feb. 19. If Senate follows the recommendation and reverses the decision, a Canadian studies credit will not be a degree requirement for incoming Arts students next fall. It is too late to omit the requirement from the 1979-80 Calendar, regardless of whether it is operative. The controversial Nov. 14 motion was passed at a one hour meeting by a 43-38 vote. Arts faculty members are motivated by various interests in the Canadian studies decision.

The questioner pressed Stephenson for details on where universities can cutback without affecting the quality of education.

Don Baker, history prof and school trustee, spoke in favour of the requirement “repeating arguments that were heard on this floor before.” Canada is “adjacent to a very large giant &hich dominates much of our culture. You have an identity problem.” Jan Narveson, of the philosophy department, argued that “It is quite wrong to suppose that a necessary condition for being an educated man is that you know something about your society. ” Prof. Davis, of history, deflated both arguments by saying the Group C requirement is “only window dressing without any meaningful content. It fails to insure any knowledge of anything Canadian.” The AFC hopes that a further study will state what the Group C requirement is supposed to accomplish and will clarify the criteria for choosing courses.

loyers may not be impressed with the selection available, when only a few students are left to be placed. The faculty with the greatest proportionate number of unplaced students (11%) was in Human Kinetics and Leisure Studies (HKLS), traditionally the most difficult faculty to find jobs for. Because of current government cutbacks, HKLS had further difficulty, as many placements in the faculty are in the public sector. In first year co-op, 10 perce_nt did not find jobs. Employers prefer students with some work expbrience.
OSAP : ‘Impossible’ The number of students applying for OSAP grants this semester dropped to 624 from 791 last year at this time, a decline of over 20%. Many students who applied for an appeal or review as early as last August are still awaiting word from the Ministry of colleges and Universities. The Ministry has been in disarray since the new OSAP guidelines were announced last year. Bill Clarkson, in charge of Statistics -at the Ministry w& asked. tihy theie has been such a decline in applicatibns. “The stricter requirements have eliminated people who didn’t need it, fewer abuses have been reported than ever before,” he said. However, when Dave Reynolds, Assistant Awards officer for UW was asked the same question he said: “This is the first year that students and parents have had to open up their entire lives.” This was in reference to application requirements that force students and their parents to make a statement of assets and to allow the Ministry to examine their income tax returns. Further he said, “A large number of students are not willing to take out loans.” The Ministry has had difficulties in processing applications this last school year. The computer program that has been designed to edit applications, to speed turn-around time, has had a few ‘bugs’ in it. There are 26 students at UW who applied early last year, and still have not received word on their applications. The University has waived their tuition and residence fees until the Ministry processes their applications. The students have, been allowed emergency loans to cover books and day to day expenses. The Ministry has given UW advances on it’s government subsidies in order to compensate for the lost revenue to the University. However, the Ministry has been so busy trying to deal with normal applications that they have had little, if any, time to deal with appeals and reviews. Some

wishes to de-emphasize university education, Stephenson said the idea that one needs a university education for a satisfying ,career should be dispelled. She cited increasing enrolment in Community Colleges and a decrease in university enrolment as evidence that interest in universi ty education is waning. Stephenson did not address the increased financial burden on university students caused by fee hikes and changes in assistance programs. Asked by University of Guelph’s foreign student advisor, Donald Amichand, if the differential fees for visa students are justified in her opinion, Stephenson said input from taxpayers suggests that those who can pay a large portion of their education costs should do
so. e Stephenson said a brief from the Ontario Federation of Students. (OFS) claims differential fees mean Canada is not fulfilling its international obligations and domestic nked for foreign students. She claimed OFS has valid arguments, if their information is correct. But she denied that there are indications of the truth of OFS’s assumptions. Stephenson also claimed that most visa students are supported by their home governments, which can afford-to pay the differential fees. Arnichand countered that at the University of Guelph, more than 400 of the 600 visa students do not receive financial assistance from a government agency. Nihk Redding

Reviews raise eyebrows Debate on the first 29 of the 110 recommendations in the Long Range Planning Committee’s report to Senate Monday revealed controversy over only a few of the recommendations. The 89 page report is the result of a year and a half of study by the committee, chaired by vice-president academic Tom Brzustowski. The committee considered reports from six subcommittees and from each department and faculty on campus in arriving at their recommendations for policy during U%V’s third decade. Opinion was sharply dir vided on a proposed “Office of University Liaison,” intended to provide information to people outside the university concerning activities on campus. Members of the long range planning committee defended the recommendation by citing a subcommittee report suggesting that people in the area know very little about the activities available to them at UW. However, it seems unlikely that the recommendation will be accepted, since many senators believe that existing information services make the proposed office redundant. A recommendation that
performance of the academic departments and programs be reviewed every ten years, and that four be reviewed annually, was sharply criticized. It was pointed out that such reviews are time consuming and expensive when done internally. It seems probable that only those departments and programs not reviewed by external agencies, such as the Ontario Council of Graduate Studies and the Advisory Committee on Academic Planning, will be reviewed by the university itself in the next decade. Among the recommendations that were not debated
are one suggesting the establishment of an Award for Distinguished Scholarship for professors, and another suggesting stricter rules for the firing of underachieving faculty members. In ‘other business, Presi-dent Burt Matthews announced the appointment of Dr. Josef Kates as new Chancellor of the university. He also informed senate that, as expected, UW’s income will rise by approximately 5% next year, and that the budget should be ready on schedule for senate approval at the March meeting. John

The agenda includes reports on the Ontario Graduate Association (OGA), graduate support at UW and the club’s financial situation. The most recent audit of the Grad Club shows an annual surplus of only $200, compared to as much as $10,000 in recent years. Grad Club treasurer Norman Fry told Imprint that recent changes in the staff structure will reduce salary costs by about $6000 in future years. In addition, the club has $30,000 in long-term investments, the result of high earnings from 1974-76.
Chinese
New
Year
Coming
Kung Hey Fat Choy! It is a common greeting line used in the Chinese New Year. January 25-27, the Chinese Student Associations of University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University celebrate the new year, the year of Sheep (Ram). The new year’s day is January 28 and the celebration is called “Chinese Cultural Festival.” The two CSA’s cordially invite all staff and students to enjoy the new year celebrations with the Chinese students. The three-day celebration will have an exhibition of Chin#ese paintings, a photographic display on recent development in China and workshops and a bazaar held at the Campus Centre. January 26, in the evening, there will be movies and entertainment. For more information, read the posters around campus or call Mr. Winky Yiu, 886-6087 or Ms. Phyllis Choi, 886-0228. The Chinese Cultural Festival is sponsored by the Federation of Students of UW and the Student Union of WLU.
What do you thinkof the upcoming 5% tuition fee increase? . By Peter Gatis ad Peter Bain
Gary Hicks 3rd year HKLS It’s just further emphasis that university is for the rich. Personally I can’t see myself going to university next year to finish off because I’m not going to have enough money. I’ll have to take a year off to work. A tuition increase certainly doesn’t help that situation, and I know many other students are in the same position.
Lori Donhldson 1st year Arts I was-really shocked. I can’t afford it. But it’s not as drastic as it could be, when you think about it. It goes along with the cost of living increases. You have to expect it. It’s the price of books that’s going to kill me.

Lecturesm to exarnine Recently, there have been signs of the declining position of the Canadian economy. Inflation has continued unabated, unemployment has approached record levels and the Canadian dollar has plummeted to unprecedented lows. In an attempt to understand some of the problems faced by the economy, OPIRG (the Ontario Public Interest Group)is planning a four part series focusing on the Canadian economy. The series will attempt to examine some of the underlying factors affecting the Canadian situation and shed some light on the future direction for Canada. The first event will be a historical look at the Cana-
dian economy by Wallace Clement, a well known author and professor at McMaster University. Clement will examine the contradictory position of Canada as both a “developed” and “underdecountry, and atveloped” tempt to expose some of the of the present roots economic crisis. Two weeks later, a talk will be given by James Laxer, an outspoken critic of Canada’s dependence on the United States. Laxer has been highly critical of Canadian resource PolicY and, In Partitular, the sale of* ..T our energy resources to the United States. He will focus his talk on the auto pact, a major

feature of the Canadian economy, and US-Canadian trade relations. Next, Henri Aubin, author of City For Sale, will discuss the role of the multinational corporations in Canada. Aubin will focus on Canadian cities and land . ,development. Concluding the series will be a panel discussion on the much discussed proposals for a Canadian “Industrial Strategy”. Politicians, labour, academics and business persons have all been struggling with the question of the future role of Canadian industry in a 1 ., world economy. Various research institutions, political parties and
individuals have attempted to formulate policies to ensure the long term stability of the Canadian economy. The majority of these strategies call for Canadian specialization in various economic sectors, such as electronics or mine 1. machinery. , Although the participants for this panel have not been finalized, it is hoped that representatives from government, research organizations, labour and business will attend.

emphasize academic path - there is no direct input from alumni in non-academic fields. As a result, university programs are inherently biased towards the academic side, often containing an excess of theoretical and thenature-of-the-discipline courses. This problem manifests itself in many diverse ways. To begin with, research is intrinsically linked to graduate programs, which are the real pride of the universities. As evidence to this, in past calendars, the Science faculty used to boast that “the majority of the graduates in Honours programs in Science un.dertake some post-graduate study”. One can compare this to
jobs,
claims made by community colleges, of high placements (often over 90%) in the work force. UW makes no such claims. Perhaps the actual placement figures would be particularly embarrassing, and would scare away potential undergraduates, which provide the universities’ breadand-butter income, but perhaps the universities’ top brass considers it beneath them. In a first year brochure produced by the Math faculty, a claim is made that “the university is, or tries to be, a community of scholars”. Such a high-nosed position leaves little room for job preparation. One glaring example of the effects of this research-

first, education-second policy can be found in the Biology department. Despite a student petition in 1974, the faculty of this department resisted the creation of a co-op program in biology for some time. When it was finally implemented, the faculty introduced several distortions by eliminating summer teaching terms, to prevent interference with the’ir research programs, even though such interference would be minimal. These are just a few examples illustrating how exclusively important the University of Waterloo faculty think research is. But let’s look at the facts: in the 1977 - 78 fiscal year, $7,558,000 entered the university through research contracts and grants. However, student tuition and BIU grants amounted to $61,471,000. If the former was considered income (it presently isn’t) the two sources would comprise 10.5 and 85.5 percent of the total, respectively. Now these facts speak for themselves: the primary purpose of a university is student education - research is entirely secondary. In addition to the effects of such a university policy upon students currently in attendance, the effects upon students seeking post graduate employment must also be considered. With the present situation of high unemployment, an education overly biased towards the theoretical end can only hinder the graduates’ search for jobs. Unfortunately, by the time they realize this, they have become alumni, and for them, it’s too late. This problem will not be solved quickly or easily. Although it would be an advantage to the university to hire industrially experienced people (with a few
degrees) for future faculty appointments instead of graduates who are still drying the ink on their multivolumed PhD’s, such a thought is just too much for most of our faculty committees. Because it is the wellentrenched academians who currently do the hiring, this problem is, in fact, selfperpetuating. The only way to alleviate this problem is to have direct student and indusinto the trial input decision-making processes. Although some students and citizens do sit on the senate and board of governors, they have no real input to the design of the course curriculums, even though these bodies must give the final approval. These two top bodies are primarily concerned with matters pertaining to the university as a whole. Consequently, when curriculums reach these’ bodies, they are accompanied by thick reports and their authors, who have carefully pre-thought the answers to all the quesand few, if any, tions, changes are ever made. The non-academic input is needed at the department faculty level where the planning and program preparation is done. It is on these committees where students and industrial representatives must sit, and provide their input. Such a dramatic change in the direction of post secondary education is not very likely to occur in the next few years. But given the fact that the taxpayers and the students are the two largest sources of income to the universities, more input from these two groups can only be beneficial. Steven

Entre-Six
Dance. company Ideally, a dance company which combines modern and classical techniques should take the best from both genres to create a unique form which transcends categories such as “traditional” and “modern”. Unfortunately, Entre-Six, a Montreal-based company which performed with Karen Kain and Frank Augustyn at the Humanities Theatre January 6 and 12, did not always seem comfortable with the mixture of traditionalism and modernism it advocates. “Excursions”, billed as “a juxtaposition of classicism and athleticism”, began dramatically, with all of the company’s eight dancers involved in fast-moving sequences. Cartwheels, walkovers, and gymnastic lifts were used effectively at first. ‘Costumes, in shades of coral, red, and fuschia, were subtle and well-suited to the music by Benjamin Britten.
However, the work was much too long. Toward the end, the innovation which characterized the first few moments was lost, and the dancers seemed to be repeating earlier movements. “Dances Formal and Light-Hearted,” a new work recently premiered in Montreal, was little more successful. Costumes (high boots, short hunting jackets, riding crops) suggested an 18th century hunting party. Many of the-movements were comical or even ludicrous. Prancing about like horses, the company drew a few laughs, but the dancers themselves seemed unsure whether the work was to be serious or comic. The audience was also rather bewildered, seeing amusing gestures performed in a very serious manner. Even Kain and Augustyn couldn’t save this particular dance. For many, the high point
A country “Hockey as a metaphor for Canadian history.” That’s Rick Salutin’s explanation for his award’ winning play “Les Canadiens,” performed Tuesday at the Humanities Theatre. Seven actors - six men and one woman - play a variety of roles, including hockey players, coaches, ticket-sellers and fans. Throughout the play, there is a strong sense of history. On the scoreboard, in the place of the usual reckoning of how much time remains in the period, dates and headlines are printed, referring to important events, in the history of Canada and Les Canadiens. The first act features appearances by such historical figures as John A. MatDonald. Wolfe, in his white wig and hockey uniform, cursing Montcalm at the top of his lungs, seems particularly out of place. Generally, this act is too long and moves too slowly, except for its dramatic closing. Headlines about protest and riot in Quebec flash ac-
mixture of the evening was “Flower Festival in Genzano,” a grand pas de deux by Kain and Augustyn. This is a light, classic - exuberant, and graceful. The audience responded enthusiastically to Kain and Augustyn, who seemed to be enjoying themselves very much during the dance. In “Nonetto,” music by Bohuslav Martinu emphasized the contrast between two pas de deux. The first, danced by Andrea Davidson and Pierre Lemay, was delicate, light-hearted, and romantic, while the other, pairing Kain and Augustyn, was more passionate and darker in mood.
doesn’t when Entre-Six appeared at UW in November of 1977, and has not lost its appeal. In fact, it is much more successful than Gradus’ more recent works. As in 1977, comic ballet intended mainly for children is one of the company’s strong points. Gradus shows his imagination and sense of humour in “Excerpts, ” a series of short sequences involving animals. Simple but evocative costumes suggested birds, which fought over a shiny
giraffes, and object, elephants. The dancers used their bodies effectively to mimic the movements of the animals they portrayed. The work was a hit with adults as well. Overall, Entre-Six seems to have lost some of its fire since its last performance at UW, which was much more dramatic and original. Technically, the company is good. The flaw lies in the works themselves. One can’t help comparing Entre-Six to Les Grands Bal-
lets Canadiens, who ended their Oct. 25 performance here with the stunning “Seven Deadly Sins,” or to the dramatic intensity of the “Rite of Spring” as performed by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet - Nov. 21. Entre-Six has nothing of this calibre to offer. Their performance was disappointing, considering their past achievements and the critical acclaim they have received. Lori

ross the scoreboard; sirens scream, and then the scoreboard reads “War Measures Act Declared,” just before the lights go out. The action of the second act takes place on November 15, 1976, the day of the victory of the Parti Quebecois in Quebec. Salutin is at his best portraying the confusion of the Anglophone Canadiens, who are against separatism and don’t understand why Francophones are so happy about Levesque’s victory. The players’ idealism and team feeling are also touching, without being corny. Interventions by contemporary figures such Lise (Appellez-moi Lise”) Payette, the talk-show hostess, and Mme.

It’s true that Hungarian folk music has always been under the special influence of the music of its most troubled ethnic group. But there also exists a very definite border-line between the two. The structuring of Rajko’s programme made this distinction very clear. The first part included original Hungarian folk music, songs and dances (except the popular arrangements of Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody” and some “Hungarian Dances” by Brahms). This part was dominated by various kinds of Hungarian dances [the famous “csardas” and Huszar dances). The harmony between song-dance-costume was impressive (later representing a different part on Hungary’s fold-art map). The ensemble not only played the background music for the dancers: they were acting and dancing with them. The second part brought the original Gypsy material. In their colourful Gypsy costumes the Rajkos really
seemed to enjoy what they were doing (and so did the enthusiastic audience). Two highlights marked this second half of the programme. The first was the impressive performance of a young boy (age 7) in the role of the “primash” (meaning “leading violinist”), He represented the “social function” of the company, mentioned above: each year a special selection committee travels Hungary seraching for talented Gypsy children. The lucky ones are then sent to special music schools and later to tionservatories. Their edu-’ cation is financed by the state. The performance of “Lark”, one of the most famous pieces of Gypsy’ music, highlighted the entire evening.

le Insight, a series of photographic essays focusing on the effects of social service programs on the people they serve, opened last Thursday at the UW Arts Centre Gallerv, Modern Languages building. The collection of photographs is presented as a series of six “vignettes” into the lives of handicapped people, and is at times hauntinglv nersonal. The f&t’of the essays deals with a wheelchairbound young man and shows how the availability of transportation, through the buses of the K-W Project Lift, enables him to get out
in the world. Thanks to Project Lift, he can do his own shopping, laundry and other things he would otherwise be dependent on other people to do for him. It also makes it possible for him to go to community centres for exercise recreation and the companionship of other people, unavailable to "Shut-ins" . Other exhibits include the daily life of a blind senior citizen, as she lives at home, works in a factory and enjoys the company of other seniors, and scenes from a home for handicap-
ped children and several others. In case you’re thinking this is yet another collection of dreary photographs whose only purpose is to shock you into feeling guilty about your lack of a handicap, forget it! This is a very optimistic and uplifting show. ft moves you, to be sure, but transmits a feeling of happiness that these people are able to enjoy their lives so much despite their disability.

For those of you who like happy endings, however, there is one, but it is inconclusive. They end up right back where they began. Nowhere. The major flaw with the film is the script-writing. The story rehashes old material without a fresh presentation or any pertinent new insights. Dialogue is bad. At one point, Travolta compliments Tomlin on her cooking by calling the meal “well-prepared”. How many punk street kids talk like that? Another piece of dialogue that reduced the audience first to muffled giggles, then outright laughter was Tomlin’s continued murmuring of “Oh, Strip!” The reason for the laughter was that every time she said it, he complied. (Off camera, of course!) The final disappointment with the film was Tomlin herself. It seemed ironic that she took the things she tears to pieces in her humour seriously. She could have salvaged the film if she had tried. The material was so ridiculous, that with a little tongue-in-cheek flair and Tomlin’s ‘got it’, Moment by Moment could have become a first rate comedy. Instead, it was played as a serious drama, and it fell flat on its face. The film is a definite waste of talent, time, and money. Karen

The Arts Queen Jazz After getting the impression from their last two albums that Queen was a bunch of conceited, pompmoneyous, insincere, hungry bastards (an impression that was strengthened by their recent Toronto- appearance), I’m happy to report that Jazz has changed my mind about them a little bit.
While not as good as any of their first four albums, it is far superior to either of the last two. One of the reasons this album succeeds as much as it does is because Roy Thomas Baker has returned to produce again (incidentally, he produced the excellant Cars album) after the group produced themselves for two albums. Jazz has that definitive Queen sound, particularly in the area of the guitars, that has been lacking since Night At The Opera.

Now,” it’s easy to take, because you know he’s just spoofing and having fun. “Fat Bottomed Girls” and “Bicycle Race,” along with the enclosed poster of the nude bicycle race (and screw the cries of sexism, this is fun) also show the band’s sense of humour. “Bicycle Race” deserves classic status if only because it mentions Rolls Royce, Star Wars, Peter Pan, Superman and Watergate all-- in one song.
The establishment of sense of humour tends to lend credibility to other emotions. Consequently, I

not much more than a reT hash of the album’s other songs. . He could go a long way towards writing better songs if he didn’t start them all with a drum beat.
Jazz has several good rockers too; John Deacon’s “If You Can’t Beat Them” should be almost as good as “We Are The Champions” for singing at parties, and Brian May’s “Dead On Time” is reminiscent of stuff like “Brighton Rock” or “Stone Cold Crazy”, which means it’s excellent. This album is, unfortunately, not without its excesses and filler. Mercurv’s “Mustapha” is a noisy mess that has him jabbering in yet another unintelligible language, and his “Let Me Entertain You” is only slightly less ridiculous than its title suggests.
The verdict: better than A Day At The Races or News Of The World and reasonable listenable. Yet I have the feeling that most people won’t like it, because most people don’t care much about humour and subtlety on rock records.

The Honourable Schoolboy is a lengthy book, including many plot twists.The settings are varied, as Jerry Westerby visits Hong Kong, Cambodia and other asian countries in the course of his investigations. However, le Carre is not a writer from the James Bond school. He shows the suffering and despair prevalent in these countries, and the unpleasantness of life as a spy. These fascinating insights combine with the complex plot to give a truiy superb book, of interest to all readers. Neil Campbell

the Waterloo attack, while Rick Nickelchok, Waterloo’s goaltender, put in a solid performance to register his first University career shut-out. The Warriors did not fare so well in two tough exhibition games last week. In a match-up with the top team in the province the Warriors were defeated 3-1 by the University of Toronto. Waterloo also succumbed to a strong York team, 6-3.

With a 3-2-3 record, Waterloo is still a contender in a league where only a few points separate all the teams. But Coach McKillop is still not content with his team’s performance.’ Despite a strong effort, the team’s offense is not scoring the goals necessary for a winning season. McKillop has instituted some line changes in ‘an effort to design an offense that will produce, and possibly turn the tide for the Warriors. Unfortunately, the team’s roster was weakened last week when John Campbell, captain and star defenseman for the team, was sidelined for the year with a leg injury. The Warriors now enter \ the second half of their season, with their next home game on January 28. Warrior right Winger Ton Shaw last week. Da& Trahair

they could have worked a lot harder. Scoring for the Wanderers were Cathy Cumming, assisted by Jan Card; Mary Campbell, unassisted; Liz Wood, aided by Helen Mackey and Jane Larkworthy; and Larkworthy netted one, with help from Liz Wood., The Wanderers’ big win was against Milverton last Saturday night as they beat them 6-O. This assures Waterloo of a play-off spot, and eliminates Milverton as a potential threat to their positioning. Waterloo opened the scoring in the second period on a goal by Helen Mackev, assisted bv Marv Camnhilj. _ d
Defenseperson Beth Kewley scored on a rising wrist shot from the point, on a pass from Liz Wood, and Mary Campbell added another from the slot, on a pass from Jan Card. Jane Larkworthy scored two goals, assisted by Beth Kewley on the first one, and Jan Card on the second. Donna

Milverton did not score, thanks to the great saves made by goalie Lynn Preston and the excellent allround play of the rest of the team not in the penalty box!

Then it ‘s off to New Hamburg on SSunday to play at 3 pm in a very important game to better determine play-off Eipots. Mary
