Hite
audience
immature
On Feb. 15, the audience at the Humanities Theatre was given the opportunity to listen to Robin Tyler, a feminist comic, and Shere Hite, author of The Hite Report, a survey on female sexuality. I was in that audience and found that the atmosphere was surprisingly hostile, the questions asked were often immature and there definite trace of was a homophobia in the air. I don’t think many in the audience were ready to hear what was being said by either Robin Tyler or Shere Hite. The audience eagerly grasped the opporutnity - to scream the “naughty” word FUCK in a public place but they were unwilling to accept Shere Hite’s redefinition of sex. Instead of exploring the liberating benefits of this new definition of sex (i.e. being aware of having the right to create one’s own orgasm, as does the male, during intercourse), the women questioned Shere Hite on her use of profits made from the sale of the book (irrelevant) and charged her with being evasive. Besides being utterlyrude to a guest lecturer, these women were being evasive themselves as well as suspiciously defensive and negative. Was it Robin Tyler’s declaration of being a lesbian which began this hostile reaction (shown only by the women) completely inappropriate to the content of Shere Hite’s lecture or to her own conduct? I wish I could apologize to Shere Hite for the provincail responses made by some members of the audience and I agree with the man who ,thanked Shere Hite for being a pioneer in the new frontier of equality.

Energy
Issues
There were a-number of issues that were not raised by the article on the speaker from Atomic Energy of Canada, Ltd. (Feb. 6). Most of the article only dealt with the storage and processing of nuclear wastes. Some of the nuclear wastes can be recycled by extracting the plutonium, one of the radioactive by-products of the fission reaction; this plutonium can then be used as fuel again. However, this plutonium can also be used to make an atomic bomb. Ontario Hydro may not have plans to build a bomb (not anyway) but intentionally, there are other people who might be tempted. The AECL is currently having some success in selling its CANDU reactor to other countries but, unfortunately, is not very fussy about who buys them (or how they are bought). Two of the customers are right-wing dictatorships that are close to being at war with their neighbouring ’ countries, namely Argentina and South Korea. India has already exploded an atomic device using waste material from a CANDU reactor that it bought. As more nations buy this reactor, the chance increases that some of them will start adding atomic
Shere
bombs to their military stockpiles and thus threaten the nuclear stalemate that the superpowers have achieved. Wherever a CANDU reactor exists, there will always be the pos$bility that someone else besides a government will construct a bomb. There have been a couple of examples of people with little technical backgrounds who have tried to put together bombs and all that they lacked to prove that it could be done was fissionable materials such as plutonium. Couple this with the stories of nuclear wastes that have been lost, possibly stolen, and you have the potential for a ransom threat of grudge settlement, the likes of which has never been seen before. Even in Canada, this dangerous possibility exists. The government will be forced to increase its security of the whole nuclear system. Wastes will have to be protected at every stage of their travels to and from the reprocessing plants and to their final resting place (whenever they figure that out). In the United States, some of the private power companies have established their own politce forces and intelligence networks. The job of these intelligence (sic) agents will be to

keep track of people who object to nuclear power, like myself. Increased police surveillance is concomitant with the centralization of the power distribution network that going nuclear entails. Nuclear power plants are massive installations that require massive inputs of capital to finance and require transmission lines marching across the countryside to dis/ tribute the electricity. Before the government takes us any further down the hard path towards nuclear energy, people should seriously start questioning a) what dangers are involved with this path, b) if we really need all the energy that they are predicting and c) bif other methods of obtaining energy could be implemented. I’m sure that the government and corporations which stand to benefit would rather that we left our reasoning faculties at home (or in the classroom) but we really shouldn’t make it so easy for them. Is this where we want our money from taxes and electricity bills to go to? The populations of two European countries, when given the chance, rejected the nuclear option and a third, Switzerland, will be voting soon a proposal to grant “local populations veto power over nuclear installations in their neighbourhoods” (Globe and Mail, Feb. 15). What would happen if we could make that choice? Stu Vickars
Stones
February
fan shocked
There is a revolution going on in Iran, Ottawa is talking about decriminalizing marijuana - and nobody knows who discovered the Rolling Stones!!! In Leonard Darwen’s review of Kate Bush’s Lionheart album, he claimed to the masses that Andrew Powell brought us the Stones. Brian Jones must have rolled over in his grave. Andrew Loog Oldham was the mastermind who brought us the Stones. Alayne McGregor stated that Imprint was “rarely biased or inaccurate . . .” This proves the point for one and for all; what does she know? I am not condemning Leonard, because everybody makes mistakes, but as a serious Rolling Stones fan I was stunned and shocked. This never would have made it into the Chevron. Chris Bannon Arts
Evolution
and Science
In his letter to the Imprint of Feb.’ 15, '79, Mr. J.E. Leeson quotes my letter of Nov. 30, '78 and Jan. 18 '79, which I will designate as (1) and (2) respectively, and concludes: “He claimed the law of decay applies everywhere in the universe. I countered that if increased order is disallowed everywhere then no organism can grow, nothing can freeze in winter, and crystals can not form; so he responds that he doesn’t deny increased order in every system, which means that evolution is not impossible if given a mechanism (general statistical law) of survival of the fittest”. In my letters, I have discussed the materialistic hypothesis of evolution of the world, consisting of an evo_lution of the cosmos and of life first from dead matter and then towards complex life. My statement in (1) about the law of decay was made in connection with evolution of the cosmos from chaos. I was simply trying to point out that matter left to itself decays, i.e., becomes more random in time. I can not see how one can conclude from this that I deny any increase in order everywhere especially as I indicated in (1) in connection with evolution of life and also stated in (2)) that in case of local addition of energy a continuous ordering of random atoms and molecules to very complex forms is improbable. I considered the particular condition of local addition of energy considered to be necessary for evolution of life and this rules out freezing and crystallization. Also, even though living organisms grow they decay in time. The probability of evolution of primitive living cells from dead matter has been discussed by the creationist Wilder-Smith in his book “Man’s Origin, Man’s Destiny”. He states, that in accordance with evolution the protein metabolic motor has to evolve by chance in a nonliving medium by chemical evolution, and the evolutionist Blum writes in his book “Time’s Arrow and Evolution:“ “The spontaneous formation of a polypeptide of the size of the smallest known proteins seems beyond all probability.” 1 The Bible teaches that God
New
created the universe and living organisms. This view is scientifically sound as it discards the improbable existence of matter and life through random processes. I have also raised the question in (1)) can living molecules continue to increase their own . order to very complex forms and stated that this is also improbable. After a protein motor exists it extracts energy from the surroundings and produces higher order by reproducing itself which is growth. But can this motor evolve by chance to the complexity of a plant or of the body of an animal and have the capacity to reproduce a plant or an animal? This. is improbable as the processes postulated for evolution are basically random and nature shows a tendency towards randomness. I have stated for example in (2) that mutations and chages in the environment are random and that survival contains a random element. It is even more important to realize that evolution towards complex life does not even qualify as an hypothesis of the experiential sciences, which require a direct verification of an hypothesis by data. As evolution is postulated to have taken place over millions of years, any direct verification of this hypothesis by data is imEvolution is depossible. finitely not an hypothesis of the exact sciences, which require a direct experimental proof for a mathematically formulated hypothesis. However, there is not even indirect evidence for the transitional aspect of evolution as the missing links have not been found to date. The evolutionist Eldredge stated in accordance with K-W Record of Nov. 9, 78, that distinctive transitorial types of creatures probably never existed and he proposes an alternative evolution theory which postulates sporadic leaps. Any man can be in error, but evolution appears to be based on too many errors. Variations within each kind of species are abundant and the Bible teaches that God created plants yielding seed after its kind, each animal after its kind, but man in His own image, Genesis 1. There is plenty of evidence for this. J. Schroeder ’

News ‘Fire victims Six UW students and two WLU students involved in a February 12 fire in 117 Albert Street are now taking their landlord to court. They lost approximately $16,000 worth of voluables. Few have insurance to cover their losses. Federation Presidentelect Mark McGuire has told the eight students that Federation lawyer Gary Flaxbard will prosecute for them. The Federation is also helping two of the students financially. Complaints from the residents range from poor conditions in the house to an alleged illegal collection of $550 in advance rent. The fire was discovered by UW student Peter Toffler in the basement of the house

tectors often because the students w’ould “steal batteries for their calculators”. The students asked for other things to be fixed in the house on Matthews’ Sunday visit. Resident Dave Bray said Matthews told them he would have a person come in the next day. Bray said Matthews asked if anyone would be in the next day, to which the students responded, “No one should be around.” Toffler described the house as “a hole”. He claimed that Matthews would go to auctions and buy “$10.00 stoves”. He said that the oven in the stove did not work in the fall term, and that the eight students had to cook on the one element that worked.

to TO in jeopardy
The weekly United Trails coach service to Toronto that Waterloo students have had since 1976 is in jeopardy this term due to the opposition of the Gray Coach line. Today, United Trails was to go to court to apply for renewal of their licence. Mark McGuire, new fed president, told Imprint he plans to be there with eight student witnesses and a over four petition of hundred names stating the service is necessary. There has been trouble ever since the federation began chartering coaches for the Toronto trips. The

at 8:55 a.m. Toffler woke the two remaining students on the upper floors, went to his attic room and “passed out” for up to a minute due to black smoke: “I just got out of there-moments before the place blew up.” The landlord of 117 Albert is Murray Matthews, President of the Waterloo North Provincial Conservative Association. The house, like 128 Albert and 91 Willow is registered under Matthews’ wife’s name. The day before the fire, Matthews removed a lock from the door leading to the fire escape and replaced the battery in one smoke detector. All but the basement detector were then working at the time of the fire. Matthews said he checked the de-
service is used by three to four hundred students each week. Four buses are sent out on Friday and one returns on Sunday night. If ticket sales are insufficient, the buses can be cancelled. United Trails has been fined by the Ministry of Transport a number of times. Waterloo County Court has ruled that the weekly chartered trips are a recurring service. According to the Public Vehicle’s Act, “No licensee shall operate chartered trips in such a manner as to constitute a recurring service.” This law is designed to
protect regular carriers, such as Gray Coach, who are required to provide service according to a predetermined schedule, even if passenger demand on a given day does not justify the trip. Gray Coach has contacted the university administration and United Trails. It has agreed not to oppose the extension of the United Trails licence in court, which would result in the withdrawal of the Toronto bus service. In wants

double rent for three months. Two are out one month’s rent, one is out $50, and another two lost nothing. He said they left to avoid paying the extra $550 lump sum. Matthews says the students did not pay anything for the winter term and that six of the eight paid nothing for the fall term over their $220 deposit. “This house is a firetrap”, according to first year computer science student Jonathan Schaeffer who is now paying rent to students he says are paying double rent. There is no fire escape from the attic, no smoke detectors and no extinguishers. The gas company ’ sent a memo September 17 stating that a furnace vent was “too close to combustible material”. There is bare electrical wiring in at least one room. A wall has been knocked out in the basement to allow for another bedroom. There is also plaster falling from the ceiling, mice in the house, and six inch wide steps leading to the attic room instead of the regulation eight inches. MacKenzie said the “conditions weren’t that bad in the fall term”. Matthews admitted the house is a mess: “Students just wrecked the place”. He said the reason he did not upgrade the house to meet the safety standards was because the students did not pay the rent. He said he was planning to recondition the house next year. MacKenzie said he got the impression that Matthews was trying to get as much \ money as he could out of the house before he lost ownership. “He couldn’t make his mortgage payments”, Mackenzie said. Dave Bray said the students of 117 Albert were visited in January by a lawyer p who claimed to represent the first mortgage holder of the house. “He told us that they were going to try to foreclosure”. ‘ ‘The lawyer said Matthews didn’t pay his last three months mortgage.” Nothing happened after this. Matthews said he was unaware of an attempt at foreclosure. The representatives of the first mortgage holder, Amy, Appleby, and Brennan said his client refused comment on the matter and wished to remain anonymous. Randy Barkman

Radio conference Between 80 and 100 representatives of campus radio stations across the province will be in Waterloo the first weekend of March for the second annual ORCO conference. y ORCO stands for the Ontario Radio Campus Organization, which has been in existence for just over a year. It was formed last spring for two reasons: to give campus radio a means to exchange ideas and programming, and to set up an organization which could be used to lobby the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

On Feb. 20 the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) held a public hearing in Kitchener to consider renewal applications by radio and television in the licensees Kitchener-Waterloo area. One of the applications the CRTC considered was an application by CKMS to renew its FM broadcasting licence. The CKMS application was a non-appearing item, which meant that representatives of the station did not have to attend the hearing to answer questions. CKMS was originally granted an FM licence on Sept. 2, 1977 after a public 1, ..,,:,, -.re-.n l-,,lrl ;r, T,,nn ltxLl.111# wa3 1lGlu. 111 Ju+rG

1977. The licence granted was for 18 months, which meant that it would come up for renewal at the same time as the licences of the rest of the radio stations in this area. Licences usually cover a three year time period. CKMS-FM is optimistic about its renewal application. The only intervention received from the public for the application was positive and the CRTC did not ask the station to send representatives to the hearing. The CRTC will probably be issuing public announcements within a month outlining its decisions on the applications considered at the meeting.

The proposal would have required majority approyal in any municipality within 20 miles of a proposed nuclear site. It would have also required retroactive approval by the Swiss federal parliament, for the four nuclear installations currently operating inside Switzerland. The proposal was put on the plebiscite, despite rejection by the parliament, after citizen’s groups . gathered 120,000 signatures on a petition. A proposal outlawing nuclear energy won a plebiscite in Austria last November.

Hite wants more sexual options, Our culture’s “whole idea of sex” must be “reevaluated” to fit into our changing society, Shere Hite, author of the “Hite.Report, ” stated in a lecture on campus last Thursday night. Traditionally, the only sequence of sexual activity which is widely considered in this culture to be “right, correct and normal” is the fixed, institutionalized pattern of heterosexual intercourse foreplay, vaginal penetration and male orgasm. Hite called this a “sexist definition of sex” which sees the woman as being “loving ,” and “helping” the man to have an orgasm, but never having one herself. “Men have the right always to have an orgasm, whereas for women it hasn’t been considered that important,” Hite said. She links female passivity and “helpfulness” in sex to other aspects of women’s lives, including low status and earnings in the job market. Traditionally, women have not had control over the frequency of sex, especially within marriage. Not having the right to contraception and abortion also limits women’s control over their bodies. “I am advocating that women take power over their own bodies and their own sexual lives,” Hite said. This includes women’s right to orgasm whenever they want one. In her survey, Hite found that only 30 per cent of women could achieve orgasm during sexual intercourse. She said “The question is not why the other women do not orgasm during intercourse, but why does our culture expect that they will?” “Women do not have a problem having orgasms,” Hite said. Her study revealed that 82 per cent of the 3000 women who replied did or could masturbate and that 95 per cent of those women achieved orgasm “every time they wanted to.”

Controller’s
The problem arises because society has difficulty accepting “how it is that women have orgasms, namely through clitoral or vulva1 stimulation rather than through intercourse.” Hite said “Women are not dependent on men for ,orgasms,” as the questions about masturbation revealed, but “in sex they are taught to act as if they were.” She cited the traditional feeling that women’s bodies belong to a man as the cause of their reluctance to touch themselves when they are with someone else. “Women should have the freedom to make our own orgasms at the time we want rather than feeling that we always have to followlthe man’s lead,” Hite said. She added that this would also relieve the tension in men, who may feel that orgasms are something they have to “give to” women and are therefore under great pressure to produce. Until about 3,000 years ago, heterosexual intercourse was seen as only one of many forms of physical relations. But when the Hebrews returned from exile in Babylon, they needed to produce many children to work the land and fight against invaders. . They then initiated laws which made heterosexual intercourse the only accepted form of sexual contact. According to Hite, this “rigid reproduction pattern” is now outdated. Large families are no longer necessary, so the political and economic reasons for restricting sexuality no longer are valid. What is now needed is a general acceptance that this “institutionalized pattern” is not the only alternative. “This definition of sex belongs to a world view that is passed, or passing,” Hite said. “We need a new, open-ended definition of sexuality. 9’ Hite emphasizes that her book is a. “forum for people to speak out,” and not a

Classics singer Last Saturday and Sunday, February 17 and 18, Forrester, the Maureen contralto, world-famous appeared at the Humanities Theatre to two full houses. . The event was fairly large-scale,with the K-W Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Raffi Armenian, three accompanied,, by choirs: the Kitchener Bach Choir, the K-W Philharmonic Choir and the WLU Singers. _ Before I go on, I must warn the reader that I was ’ stuck right up front, just a few feet behind the conducl tor. As a result, the problems inherent in the already “unusual” acoustics of the Humanities Theatre were compounded by the distorting effects of the strings drowning out the choir at times. This was most noticeable in the first piece selected, the Te Deum in C by Haydn. The choir and orchestra sounded not quite together a few times, but I have no way of knowing whether that was their fault or mine. At any rate, the other pieces on the program did not show this problem.

The UW Repertory Dance company presents its annual concert next week. It will feature works by several faculty members and also by students Chris Bauman, Lilli Battaglia, Dianne Chapitis, and Marilyn Ellis.
The evening’s program moved up through the centuries, going next to two works by Brahms, and, after the intermission, works by each of Gustav Mahler and Claude Debussy, two opposed early Twentieth Century’composers. The first Brahms work was Nanie, a short piece similar in moo_d and concept to Brahms’ German Rewhich rebelled quiem, against the fear and terror in the Requiem of Roman Catholic Liturgy.
Carousel, a dance group for children, will perform the piece “Which Wiz is Witch,” choreographed by Deardra King. The show will feature a mixture of many dance styles - jazz, modern ballet, comedy, and contemporary dance. March 1 and 2 in the Humanities Theatre.

In the sixties, Baldry played with then-unknown Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger in different short-lived bands in England. He was the one who advised Reginald Dwight to change his name to Elton John. Somehow, Baldry never reached the peak of success the other three did. No one is quite sure why, although the eclectic nature of Baldry’s music, combining acoustic and electrified blues with rock ‘n’ roll, may have had something to do with it. ‘) Ray Sealey, a Canadian guitarist, is be coming to Waterloo March 3: Sealey studied in Canada, the United States and France with Alice Artzt and Alexandre Lagoya.

The Arts The Clash ‘em Enough Rope Elvis Costello Armed Forces Depending on your point of view, new wave music is either a joy or a nuisance because it makes you sit up and listen. The music may be stark and primitive, but with the best of the new wave, the lyrics are of prime importance, and if you don’t take the time to figure ‘em out, you’ve missed the point. Unlike the music of artists (?) like Barry Manilow, Styx, Foreigner, the Bee Gees, etc., you have to put something into it to get something out. Which means that for the unthinking, apathetic, middle-of-theroad, easychair majority, punk and new wave music is something to be ignored. Who wants to have to think about something as trivial and unimportant as a stupid record? Give
Which brings us to the new albums. one bv The Clash and Elvis Costello. In case you’ve never heard of them, The Clash are the heirs of the title made vacant by the demise of the Sex Pistols (whatever title that may be). Give LEm Enough Rope is their second album. What is initially attractive about Give ‘Em Enough Rope is its relentless energy; like the Sex Pistols, The Clash’s music is driven by a good rhythm section and a raw, ragged guitar. Unlike Never Mind the Bollocks, this album has a little musical variety; there’s a wonderful sax solo in “Drug Stabbing Time,” a piano once or twice, and other non-punk things like solos, breaks, and vocal harmonies. With the possible exception of “Cheapskate,” the driving energy never lets up. The vocals, which suggest the Sex Pistols, Mott the Hoople, and occasionally, the Beatles, range from average to hilariously mediocre, but this isn’t really a criticism. I mean, for those of us who are bathtub rock stars with a two note range, its nice to be able to sing an entire album, and not even have to worry about being on key. While this album will certainly be useful as music to blow away winter blues, it’s the lyrics of Give ‘Em Enough Rope that make it
fascinating. I’ve been working at deciphering these lyrics for about a week (the mix is so rough that half the time you can’t hear the vocals, let alone understand them) and I think I’m about one tenth of the way there. The fruit of a week’s diligent labour: “Safe European Home”, a song about a trip to a place “Where every white face is an invitation to robbery” about which the singer decides it’s better to stay at home where his ass and his wallet are not in danger. This is ironically followed by “English Civil War,” a song based on the old American song about the civil war (“When Johriny comes marching home again. . . .“). If you’ve ever sang “The. ants go marching two by two, hurrah . . .” to this tune, you just have to hear this song. “Julie’s Been Working In the Drug Squad” is a delightful, humou!rous tune with an Ian Hunter-ish warble about those everpresent narcs lurking among us. The story line of “Stay Free” you’ve heard before (compare it with Tom Robinson’s “Martin,” for example), but its almost sentimental presentation of adolescent friendship and what happens to it is inspiring in a strange way. Though you wonder if the losers in the song can “stay free”, it’s a nice thought. As for the other six songs, I’m still working on them, but they do look promising. Not much else you can say about this one; it’s a great album, and the only reason you shouldn’t run right out and buy it is that it’s only available in Canada as an import at the moment, so unless you’re willing to fork out nine bucks, you may have to hang on for a while. In the mean time, you can listen to my copy. Give me a call and we’ll have a Clash party, and peel the paint off the neighbour’s doors again.
Records Forces has only been out for three weeks, copies with the EP are becoming hard to find. Which is too bad, because the EP is great. On one side is a version of “Watching the Detectives” from his first album, on which he discovers unintentional feedback, distortion, and how to play his guitar with his face, all in a
mere six minutes. On the other side is a compelling, dramatic version of “Alison,” also from My Aim Is True, and a different version of a song called “Accidents Will Happen” which appears on the album itself. Great stuff. Besides the elephants pictured on the back cover, the highlight of the album is the only non-Costello composition, Nick Lowe’s “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding.” It has enormous potential for wimpdom and self-parody, but destroys any possibility of it with its thumping bass, scratchy guitar and drums unlike anything.you’ve ever heard before - they define the word thunder. Costello’s vocal is positively inspired. The other eleven sofngs

were all written by Costello, and as a group they’re more commercial sounding than his past work, perhaps because of a fuller production.

ability to-evoke many ideas and interpretations from very few words, and it’s too bad there isn’t much more of it. As previously mentioned, the twelve tracks are pleasant and listenable, but they’re not memorable. And while nobody ever claimed Elvis Costello wasn’t derivative, I’m a bit concerned that the guitar in “Two Little Hitlers” sounds like a direct cop from David Bowie’s “Diamond Dogs,” and the guitar in “Party Girl” likewise sounds much like the Beatles “You Never Give Me Your Money” . Armed Forces will likely depolarize the Costello lovers and haters to some extent, and undoubtedly the critics will love it. Meanwhile, Mr. Costello will continue to climb to new
One doesn’t feel the same urgency to listen to what he has to say as one does with, for example, The Clash, The Jam, or either of his other albums. At worst, the lyrics are shallow, and at best, he just playing with words. Perhaps it’s my hangup, but I just can’t be bothered to really listen to this stuff. The album’s lyrical highlight -is “Chemistry Class,” in which he says, “You got a chemistry class/I want a piece of your” - and just when you ‘want him to rhyme it, he says, “mind.” Later, he asks his partner, “Are you ready for the final” (a nice small-talk line) but then he adds another two meanings by tacking on the word “solution.” It’s a great example of his

heights (you know you’ve made it when Weekend Magazine does an article on you). Still, I can’t help but think that there’s something missing from this album. If you don’t happen to share my fanaticism for interesting lyrics, chances are you’ll like Armed Forces. It’s a little more mainstream than either of his past two albums (especially the first), and if you were put off by him at first, this might convert you.

Waterloo finished sixth, only 44 seconds behind the University of Ottawa and 55 seconds behind the hosts from Carlton. , The differences were ac: cumulated over four hours of race time.
