This quarter-century issue is dedicated to our ex-editor Nick Redding. Nick’s energy was largely responsible for transforming this paper from an idea into reality last summer. Since then, he devoted most of his time to the paper, at the expense of his schoolwork. This week, however, schoolwork and job commitments caught up with him and he was forced to resign to catch up. Working with Nick on this issue were Herman Night, Leonard Dan&n, Prabhakar Ragde, Len Farnham, Hugo Morns, Doug Harrison, Coleen Harrington, David Trahair, Sandra Ford, Stephen W.

J#ditorial,

A referendum has been set for March 21 asking students of Imprint can have a refundable fee of $1.75 per student per term. Could Imprint survive without a student fee? The following breakdown of Imprint revenue and expenditure shows that a substantial deficit will accumulate if student funding is not obtained. Imp&-it already has a deficit of $4000, and without a student fee, the deficit will SOW bY $12~400 Per Year* This projected loss assumes that no salaried positions are created, the only form of personnel expenditures being advertising commission. A student fee will produce a balanced budget for Imprint, and will also allow for \ salaried staff. The accompanying table summarizes the financial scenario with and without a student fee.

$54,400

The largest expense incurred by Imprint comes from typesetting and printing. A twelve-page issue of Imprint costs, on average, $1100 to typeset and print. A student fee will allow for larger issues, and production expenses in this case would be $69,000 per year.

$56,000

The only possible sources of income for Imprint are advertising revenue and student fees. Without a fee, we estimate Imprint can generate $55,000 per year in local advertising revenue, and collect $12,000 from Youthstream, a national advertising network. With a student fee, Imprint can expect a

The staff member says he was fired last Friday for losing his keys. Rotering says he lost his keys in a Needles Hall washroom ~Tuesday, February 27.

Asked whether anyone else’had been fired for losing their keys in the past several years he said * “I think that there has been,” but said he couldn’t remember the specific case. Asked whether any staff had lost their keys, and had not been fired, he said again that comment was inappropriate at present. He admitted “certainly,there’s keys lost every day” but said that “in plant operations, we have a pretty good record.” Rotering was hired on a temporary basis for the winter, and is not a member of the CUPE local, although he pays union dues.

Campus stations meet

Radio

network

Representatives of about 60 campus radio stations from across Ontario met here last weekend. The conference agenda included discussion of an, Ontario sports network, and revenue-raising for non-profit radio. On Friday, a general discussion was held between station representatives and CRTC officials

concerning alternative sources of revenue. Most campus stations are denied any kind of advertising revenue.

CRTC officials have reportedly been too busy to discuss this with the stations, since they have major issues such as payTV to worry about. However, they agreed to discuss the issue if the sta-

tions continued the government.

lobby

The stations have hired a researcher, Mike Wessler, former Station manager of CFMU at Carleton, to write a handbook on how the different stations in Ontario have raised funds, and to determine ways of receiving grants. from the government or charitable foundations.

The stations have come close to a solid agreement I on an Ontario sports network for hockey, football, and basketball. Such a network would either allow the visiting team’s station to broadcast the game at its campus, or allow a game of the week to be broadcast at several universities. This was already done to a limited extent last year. Ron Reeder

Press

Imprint became a member of a nationwide organization of Canadian university and community college newspapers Monday night, .after a decision by the Canadian University Press (CUP) executive to admit the paper earlier than had been planned. A motion favouring immediate admission passed without opposition at the Ontario region CUP conference held in Toronto two weeks ago. Delegates to the national CUP conference in Edmonton at Christmas had voted not to admit Imprint “before March 31, 1979.” The executive decided to go against this motion on the recomme;ndation of ORCUP, and of two out of the bther three CUP- region presidents. The ORCUP motion was seen as a gesture of support for Imprint in the March 21st fee referendum. CUP membership allows access to national advertising, and allows Imprint to share stories with papers across Canad+ Imprint’s membership in the organization is prospective, and subject to ratification and review next Christmas.

UW’s latest artistic marvel, the Modein Languages bronze boar, was a guest of honour at the engineers’ iron-ring ceremony last Thursday night. A high placed and usually reliable engineering source tol’d Imprint that the boar was present at the door, greeting initiates to the exclusive initiation ceremony. The boar left a note at ML saying “Arts is a bore - I’m off to the Loretto pub.” The pub was sponsored by engineering and included a delegation from the Loretto nursing college in Toronto. The big pig appears to have recovered from its weekendcarousing. It was back on show in Modern Languages Tuesday morning. Imprint has also learned that Rick Smit’s presidential emblem, an office barber chair disappeared the night Mark McGuire officially became president. It has been replaced by a toilet seat. The same engineering source alleged that the faculty has discovered a method for transforming barber chairs into- toilet seats, lead into gold, and water into wine.

maintained a favourableresponse to their demands for educational opportunities because their demands did not challenge the Victorian concept of women. The legislature agreed to allow women admission to the University of Toronto, the right of voting for school trustees, and in 1872, Ontario passed the first Married Women’s Property Act in Canada. However,‘despite support from Liberal John Waters and their active petition campaign in the 1880's, suffrage was not favourably received mainly because of the anti-Victoria image it perpetrated and the small size of the movement, making it difficult to provide sufficient political pressure. The acceptance of women’s suffrage was slow in Ontario, .but it was quite successful in the Prairie Provinces because of the support they received from

from major interest groups including the Grain Growers Association of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and the United Farmers of Alberta. The central figure in the Prairie Province’s movement for the “Persons Case” was Emily Murphy, a journalist and social service worker who, in 1916, was appointed police magistrate for Edmonton. She was responsible for the discovery that in the BNA Act women were not recognized as per-

Porter says he feels that the centre is at a crisis point and may be forced to close if it cannot hire a part-time co-ordinator.

The Federation paid a co-ordinator’s full time salary of $160 a week, as a measure, for temporary part of the fall term.

The important thing in deducting tuition fees from income is to choose the proper year for making the deduction. Students may deduct tuition fees either on a calendar year or school year basis, as long as the basis selected begins in the year for which you are filing . There are many factors which influence the basis you select. Let us first look at students in the regular program. A first year student in a regular full time program may claim either 4 months tuition or 8 months tuition. If they deducted on the school year basis, the student would not be able to deduct any tuition fees upon graduation when they would hopefully enter the , work force for eight months. This assumes the basis selected is applied consistently based on the rationale that summer earnings will

imp0 increase or remain constant over the period of study. Two factors would thus indicate the student would be better off deducting tuition fees on a calendar year basis: 1. Income in first year would not likely be so high as to require deduction of tuition fees for the winter term 2. Income in the graduating year would likely be so high as to be taxable. Assuming the student deducts tuition fees on a calendar year basis, he would make an explanatory note and attach the receipt provided by the university to his return. In the following year he would deduct the remaining half of the first year’s tuition and refer the tax people to the receipt in last year’s file. Thus, regular students should consider when they -want to be able to claim the last half of their final year’s

t when deduct tuition.. Regular students who entered university in 1978 should consider deducting tuition fees on a calendar year basis if this brings their taxable income below $2310.00. With few -exceptions, there is no benefit in further reducing taxable income below $2310. Because at this point or less there is no federal or provincial income tax pav-able and there is no adverse effect on your Ontario tax credits. The case of students in the co-op program at Water+ loo is slightly different. It becomes much more important to plan ahead so that you can deduct eight months tuition against eight months of work. The example below illustrates the result of not claiming all of the available tuition fees. Student X follows the stream below: Net federal tax is $9.00 and Ontario tax is $135.90

Consider the scenario: It’s late March and you’re in your final year with less than a month to go before you hit the streets with a BA firmly clutched in your hands. One problem: you really haven’t been working this term. Two papers due in a week-anda-half and a first sentence hasn’t passed .’ from pen to paper. You chew your nails and drink a lot thinking about it. As you shuffle through to class on an anxietyridden day, a notice on a bulletin board catches your eye: Essay Services ) Prompt Delivery with a phone number attached. A moral dilemma? Increasingly now, business for “term paper mills” is booming.,Once an alternative available only to those with money to burn, prices are now well within the reach of the average student. For the uninitiated, term paper mills are part of a growing phenomenon known within the university milieu as academic plagiarism. Defined as the “submission, for grading, of written work that is not the product of one’s own intellectual,activity,” plagiarism is a matter of concern to the entire academic community. Plagiarism is not particular to the seventies. There are, however, a number of recent developments to the problem. Interviewing students for this feature, we found an overwhelming majority only too ready to offer rationalizations in defence of -plagiarism. The moral question, *they said, must be viewed within the context of present academic realities. - , There are several factors contributing to the recent shift in attitudes. The’ first is connected with the tight job market resulting from Canada’s recent economic stagnation. Students are much more careerconscious that they were ten years ago. The desire to acquire a good liberal arts education has been subordinated to tailoring a degree to fit employers’ needs. The second factor is the change in education ‘policy caused by increased enrollments in the Faculty of Arts. Students are now processed rather than educated. The notion of the teaching staff monitoring students’ intellectual growth is largely a luxury of the past. In large classes, a student’s contact with an instructor is often limited to a TA. The student/TA relationship does very little to curb the feeling of, alienation. TAs have their own academic work and are often responsible for a large number of students. The third element is the muchpublicized illiteracy of today’s student. First year university students are expected to know how to research and write a term paper, yet high schools and colleges are graduating pupils lacking those basic skills. Consequently, a common phenomenon among freshmen is a sense of despera. tion when confronted with paper assignments and firm deadlines. The last element is the undue emphasis placed on grades. With the decline of a “personal education”, marks have become the exclusive means of monitorihg academic activity of the student. It is argued, from the perspective of the academic staff, that exams are a valuable tool in the learning .process for they give the pupil a clear indication of areas of weakness. From the student’s perspective, however, exams serve only to indicate in what areas he/she did not- cram enough. Cramming, or learningby rote, is superficial learning.. Understanding, as opposed to mere memorization, is a product of analysis, guidance and time. It is not something that can be bought, sold or bargained for. The use of grades as a mechanism for assessing progress has affected the role of the term paper in the-educational system. Where once the professor not only graded the final work but provided a guiding force

ment accompanying the mark on the last page. The result of the change in students’ attitudes and university grading methods has been the growth of plagiarism. Buying, selling or trading term papers is much more acceptable and widespread an activity than it has ever been. There are basically two ways in which students acquire term papers. The first is the *‘institutional method”: so-called “term paper mills”. ’ Today’s “research companies”, as they prefer to be known, can be found in every major North American city. The majority of their work is undergraduate (especially 1st and 2nd year, says a Toronto-based firm) term papers. They provide either customwritten or catalogued work, and guarantee at least a passing grade. Custom written work costs twice as much as catalogued papers. A Los Angeles firm offers custom-written papers for $6.75 a page with seven page minim,um and catalogued work.for only $3.50 a page. In contrast, a Toronto company offers a custom-written, fifteen page paper for $10. The reporter was assured, however, that this was a “special deal” and that normal rates were double the price quoted. Both companies assure the purchaser that custom-written work will not be resold. The cheaper, catalogued work is a more attractive alternative to undergraduates. The McGill Daily wrote to a Los Angeles company asking for their catalogue and within a week a copy arrived. The topics”. Subjects catalogue lists “10,000 range from existentialism to exchange _ theory, and everything in between. The Toronto firm, and one that operated in Montreal last year have equally comprehensive catalogues. Many of the catalogues tailor their topics to the local university’s courses. 3 , Who writes for “term paper mills”? Mostly people with MAs although there are a few PhDs, says the Toronto firm. A Daily reporter, posing as a jobless MA in 1 need of work, contacted the Toronto company and was greeted enthusiastically. The manager told the Daily reporter it was the “busy season” and that writers were needed badly. He offered a starting salary of $3.00 per page with work to begin im: mediately. For additional incentive he said several writers were currently earning up to $450 per week. The term paper mills have managed to protect themselves from legal prosecution by calling themselves “research comThey reqeire all their clients to panies”; sign a form stating that material purchased will be used only for research and reference purposes. Some companies further protect their interests by using paper with a visible water mark, forcing the purchaser to retype the work. There are also more informal ways for students to acquire term papers; trading, borrowing, or stealing them. According to virtually everyone who has studied plagiarism, most plagiarism occurs this way. The majority of students have had some contact with this dimension, either in the form of using one’s older sibling’s paper or having a submitted work stolen from a hallway where an unthinking professor had left it for distribution. Such an incident occurred recently at McGill. A professor left graded papers outside his office and within minutes they _ were stolen. Students are often unaware that their work has been plagiarized. A classroom acquaintance asking to view a paper for an evening is not likely to arouse suspicion. In addition, not many students keep a careful accounting of all the papers they have ever written. For the determined plagiarist the system is wide open. “With a little skill it is possible to plagiarize in an infinite number of ways,” says Professor .Harry Anderson of McGill’s English, Department. It is a pervasive problem and students and professors are often unwilling to ret- , ognize that they-have been victims or participants in’*an act of plagiarism. “People don’t want to confront the issue,” says McGill Professor G. Piggott. Nobody is able to determine how large the problem is, he says, so plagiarism is just not discussed. I Susan Bandler Rick Boychuk of”‘the McGill Daily

Sealey too silent, but technically excellent * Classical guitarist Ray Sealey performed Saturday at the Humanities Theatre. He put on an excellent performance: his repertoire was made up of songs ranging from the Renaissance and Baroque through the Classical, Romantic and Modern periods. He began his performance with soft music which created a tranquil atmosphere. Then the tempo steadily gained force from song to song. The most innovative piece of music was Ray Sealey’s own, entitled “New York.” With the use of an elec-

tronic device, the only prop he used throughout the production, he was able to create a fast tempo comparable to the fast pace of-life today. The South American waltzes, Mazurka and Bacarolle, were traditional Viennese style in threequarter time;‘however, this beat was transposed into various other tempos creating a very light and happy mood. Ray demonstrates consistent high quality in all his compositions:. his production was free from technical error. Throughout the perfor-

mance, his interbretation of the music seemed to reflect his own introverted personality, as was shown by his lack bf rapport with the audience. This was the only shortcoming of his performance; the audience was extremely attentive .-when he introduced each song, but seemed to be looking for something more than just an intrgduction. This, however, can be overlooked as part of his professional style. Ray Sealey is certainly one of Canada’s best. classical guitarists. Coleen HarPington ‘r

To be ,sure, the book is a tragicomedy, filled with black humour. Yet it is not in the same class as Vonnegut’s “TheSirens of Titan”, in which one is never fooled into believing that its events are happening or will ever happen. The coarse or shallow reader may think this novel is a perverse cruelty, filled with meaningless sex and violence. There is a lot of both the latter categories: an incredibly bloody rape in the fragment we see of “The World According to Benshaver” (Garp’s third novel), assorted shootings, slashings, adulteries, and even a scene where a character suffers amputation as a result of oral sex in a car hit from behind (I’ve always wondered how to .

Ultravox of Romance

Ultravox sings ’ a wild brand of new wave relying heavily on distorted noise.’ Systems of Romance is just that. Noise. Yet it is coherently presented. They like to experiment with their product changing their style every few songs to add a breath of fresh air to their music. Example: Quiet Man is perhaps the first new wave disco‘ tune to evolve from the trend of funkifying rock, i.e. Miss You by the Rolling Stones. Ultravox relies heavily on treated guitars .and synthesizers’to give their songs a spacey sound. Someone Else’s Clothes is a typical medium-paced rocker. All of a sudden, the bridge joining the first and second halves of the song transcends into a wild flurry of sounds. Ultravox is definitely futuristic music, similar to yet lacking the Devo’s, cynicism. “Ultravox” means beyond voices. The name reflects their attitude. They are not beyond voices, just beyond their time. A must for you folks who want to rush into the 80’s in a hurry. Leonard Darweu Dire Straits Q: To make it big in today’s music scene you must be talented? A: False. ’ Q: Then if talent isn’t needed what is the main ingredient for success?

The above three questions sum up the necessary formula to achieve success in today’s music industry. Not often a band comes along that sells itself on its music alone. And when it does many people are left won dering how could such a thing happen (especially those people associated with record companies). 1 This truly is a unique phenomenon.

Nonetheless, Straits is pleasing to the ear, and it’s music as an artform. Speaking of art, the album jacket is reflective of the product Dire Straits want to share with us.

Lynn Marshall placed 3rd in the 200 free, 4th in the 50 free and 5th in the 100. Avril Peaker placed 4th in the 200 free and 5th in the 50 free. Rookie Chris Treleaven placed 3rd in the 100 back strdke and 4th in the 200 back stroke. Kristen Feldman placed 4th in the 100 back and 6th in the 200 back. Consolation finalists included Danielle Forsyth in the 800 free 100 back and Karen Stewart in the 100 breastroke. Other fine individual performances were made by Cathie Coulson, Norma Wilkie and Lynn McVey. They gained valuable points in the relay swims. The 800 relay of Kirsten Feldman Lyn Marshall took the bronze medal. The medley r&lay of Danielle Forsyth, Karen Stewart, Kirsten Feldman and Norma Wilkie placed 6th. The Athenas are looking forward to a good season next year as only Karen Stewart and Jane Goodyear are leaving. This was the strongest placing in the team’s history. Y ‘D.-KC. Hosensk@y

SportsThe Warriors swim team has done it again. For the third straight year in a row, they have defeated U of T by a slim margin to secure the national title,. This year, the “Blues” had been considered the favourite because, as Toronto co-coach Byron Macdonald stated “we’ve got the talent, depth and driving to knock off Waterloo.” The three day meet last weekend started slowly for the Warriors. After relinquishing second and fourth spots to the Toronto squad in the 100 metre freestyle, Warrior rookie Alan Swanston took top honours in a closely contested 200 metre Individual Medley event, defeating John Van Burren from Dalhousie, later named as co-winner of outstanding swimmer of the meet. In the last event of the day, Swanston teamed with Brown, rookies Steve Stephen Nenadov, and cap-
