University of Waterloo crest enters a new era of validity ’ The university Senate has just accepted a new University of Waterloo crest. The crest displays an endearing likeness to the Wild Boar statue located in the Modern Languages building. The boar supplants the more traditional three lions raMpant, gules (red), that adorned the previ, ous crest. The chevron sable (black) yemains but is hidden behind the boar. “We were a little embarrassed by the chevron” said Senate Vice-chairman Tom Brzuwiskii. “The red colouring on the crest also proved to be an area of disagreement, so we settled on pink l”nstead.” a But why the boar ? “Well we were considering silhouette of the Red Worm sculpture”, Brzzunkthe senate chambers were awaski said, “until blown up by a few bright, but irate, young students. “Outside of a graphic of Laurel creek with a three inch layer of scum riding its s&face, we couldn’t come up with any other identifying. UW symbols. Somebody suggested a Groat Cluster,but that idea was shot down immediately. “Anyways, it is rumoured that the last word-that disenfranchised President Burnt MathNEWS said before he died (see story inside) was ‘ROSE-BOAR’. Nobody in senate really knew what it meant, but we figured that it must have been of some significance to him. Who knows? It might be the hey needed to the understanding of the man.”

The Undeath: Fatalities due to lack of safety-control on pop-can lids skyrocketed last year, with over 300% more accidental deaths resulting from lacerations received while trying to open a new-fangled soda-pop container. Patents Canada reports that new pop-can lids are invented at a rate of about OX= a week. Most inflict wounds that are fatal if surgery is not immediately available. Fiat Lux: Iri a move to save even ,more energy, UW’s Physical Resources Group will remove all the 1igIit bulbs across campus. “Removing half of them was so successful that we decided to go al! the way,” explained UW Secretariat, Jack Brownshirt. Blatant Filler: Groat clusters contain 398% more protein than the avei-age banana skin.

Fine Arts professor, Virgil Burnout, declared Senate’s decision to be “All Right!” “The boar is a helicon to all those who gloat on it”, he said. “It is neither elephantine nor graceful; it therefore becomes a marriage of the hinds.” Burnout wasunavailable for further comment as he was in a hurry to attend a display of Toenail Sculpture in Oshawa. The old university motto, which accompanied the crest, consisted of the Latin inscription, Concordia Cum Veritate: In Harmony with Truth. The Senate felt that it was “high time” for the university to live up to the motto, and, therefore, propptly got rid of it. The meaning of the new inscription was not explained but Glossette editor Red Crimson believes it can be translated: University is a Bit Screwed, but he wasn’t sure. Senate was concerned that the engineers might run off with the crest, Brezwicki reported. But outgoing EngSoc president Blazer Cutthroat claimed there would be little chance of it happening: “After you’ve moved the Math and Computer building and placed it on top of the Central Ser-vices building, stealing a crest would be an anticlimax.” The new crest will be available next month on leather jackets, but Campus Centre Shop sales woman Rose Pawthorn isn’t ordering many. “Would you want to walk around campus with a pig on your jacket?“, Pawthorn was heard to say.

Why hasn’t anybody done anything? By the time this letter is printed it will be too late. I will have succeeded in uncovering and bringing to its knees the most nefarious state-organized attack on the minds of our youth this country has ever witnessed. Have you ever wondered why there are no decent, inexpensive restaurants in the UW area? Why there are no wellstocked, convenient food-stores within walking distance of campus? Why Food Services insists -on maintaining its monopoly, yet steadfastly refuses to carry health-foods, like groat-clusters? . That’s right, buddy, you guessed it! Food Services is actually an R.C.M.P. plot to poison the already malnourished mind and body of the student whose true function is revolution: the overthrow of junk-culture! By carrying food no more nutritious than lardburgers and stale Yorkshire pudding, Food Services is attempting, and succeeding to undermine student alertness. But it is not too late to be saved. I first noticed the symptams when partaking in the Carnal act of hickeying. I correctly analysed the sudden rush of excitement I experienced as a result of the first taste of real nourishment I had been exposed to since I had arrived at university. t

As a progressive and dynamic thinker, I feel I must add my voice to the swelling ranks of those who have jumped on the bandwagon to condemn, vehemently, the rampant illiteracy of the undergraduate population, partic.ularly the proclivity to string along a series of rambling, unconnected thoughts into sentences so unbelievably long and fraught with abstruse verbiage that it’s a pain to read them, especially as by the time you arrive at the end the meaning has been entirely lost in the length and obscurity of the verbosity 7 not to mention the pitiful grammatical construction, and call it a sentence. This is hardly surprising. The quintessence of errant pedagogic pedantry, for example the English Illiteracy Exam, seems to be to reduce the simplest proposition to pure sesquipedalean drivel, which, as I would have it, is the mark of an educated man inculcated indelibly on his brain. As, for the undergrads, the lot of them have to learn there is nothing mystifying about writing a decent term paper. Given a proper thesis, the matter is simplicity itself: the meaning of the thesis arises from the formulation of sentences depending partly on the factual basis of the thesis and partly on the contribution, both to the construction and explanatory purpose of the essay, that is made by the propositions which it expresses. And another thing-they put too damn much sugar in everything these days. Ken Bedwetter \ P.S. I just saw an orangutan.
Academic excellence discussed in letter My esteemed colleague, Professor J.R. Worthwood,, I feel, is inaccurate when he says that academic excellence is on the decline in Western society. To quote Goldfarb: “Academic excellence is not on the decline in Western society.” Therefore, I can only conclude, Mr. know-it-all Worthwood, that you either have not read Goldfarb or are inequipped with supporting evidence, such as I have given, and are providing merely yourself as proof that academic excellence is waning. Goldfarb did not mention anything similar to: “Academic excellence might be on the decline” or “. . . is on the decline” so just where do you get off anyways? Just because you have tenure and are paid more than me yes much more, Worthwood as you know - and your wife and car are in less need of repair than mine, does not mean h, t t d you are SMARTER than ME!

Glossette celebrates tenth anniversary with pension plan and 11 Kllionth comma Zany Engineers pull clever practical joke The Engineering students surprised the UW campus yesterday morning when it was discovered that the Math and Computer building was not resting on its usual site. After several hours of intensive searching, Campus Security officers located the building perched on top pf the Central Stores smokestack. **It’s all in-the spirit of good, clean university fun, so no charges will be laid against any of the bright, young, Engineering students responsible,” reported Les Cunning of Campus Security in a Glossette telephone interview. “This picking-up-and-hiding-large-objects habit of theirs is going a little too far, though,” he continued, “so we’re giving them-a stern reprimand and an empty warning.” Bill Fjords, Dean of Mathematics complained about the disruption and about the risk to the valuable I’BM 360/75 worth at least $63.12 on a resale basis.
The Glossette celebrated our tenth aniversary 3 days ago. We started publishing as a.newspaper March 26, 1969. Since then, we have published 400 issues: 3.000 pages; 43,903,328 words: 45,662,078 letters and I I ,003,260 commas, or counting this sentence, I 1,003, 268 commas. Hopefully, our secretary didn’t miscount. (Make that 11,003,27l). We were called Admininews in 1969 and a few days before we published, pranksters at the student newspaper, the Chevrite, came out with a brilliant _fraud called the Gazette which most readers thought was the genuine article. History repeats itself! Yesterday, ten years later, rascals from the student newspaper, Misprint, came out with another brilliant- parody of the Glossette. still called the Gazette, (a little unoriginal), and most readers thought it was the original article too. We’ve changed a lot over the years.
Our first editor, Bob Written, -though still writing for the Glossette, is working from a different office. Our current editor, Red Crimson, has edited the paper for 6 years but the terms of his pension plan have changed. We’ve covered all the news. Our investigative reporting, aided with key use of the telephone, has uncovered an exploded ventilation fan, and changeovers for the position of Arts dean.

Outside of the weekly visit from UW secretariat, Jack Brownshirt, with his butane lighter, the Glocsette is editorially independent from the administration. One time we did have to recall an entire issue when we ran a story on soggy subs sold at Food Service outlets, but we learned our lesson and there have been no problems since.

PWz acts decisively* In a shocking move, Burnt MathNEWS, former UW President, passed away early Tuesday morning. The tragic act of death should not have been a surprise since MathNEWS gave notice of his intent to die at last week’s Administration Council Meeting & Polka Party held at Irate Needless Hall. Council deity Ayatullah Diefenbaker laughed off the -procedural faux pas by explaining that there were several other pressing items on the agenda. “There were several other pressing items on the agenda, but since I am merely a fictional character invented solely to make light of the UW Administration, I can think of none. This-illustrates my ineptitude in a most scandalous fashion, think I. Ha ha, did I ever pull a boner. Ha ha ha,” commented Diefenbaker in a telephone interview with the Glossette. The Submission of Preregistered Expiration has allegedly been misfiled at the Department of Coordination and Replacement, having been mistaken for one of thousands of job resumes in the building. Thus MathNEWS is, and shall, forevermore remain unavailable for comment. Fiscal and Financial Fuhrer Bruce Golightly said in a Glossette telephone interview that MathNEWS’ body was found in his office Tuesday morning. “He had been fired the day before for ,losing his keys,; and he had been ordered to clean out his office. We found his Dictaphone still running in the morning, repeating MathNEWS last word: ‘ROSEBOAR’.” The tape on the Dictaphone proved to be a recording of all of MathNEWS recent speeches,. transcripts of which were found near the brand-new shredder. “It would appear that ‘Burnt literally bored himself to death,” postulated Golightly. “it was probably all for the best. As part of the.cutbacks scheme to phase out Ad*ministration, MathNEWS was slated to be replaced by an computerized IBM Selectric typewriter. “He hasn’t been himself since PRG cancelled that order for magnetic paperclips he was so keen on getting.” Golightly then cast his eyes to the floor. While crying, Golightly burst into tears and wept, sobbing, “We probably won’t see his like for a dog’s age. I’ll always hold dear to my heart the day he made it to work during the Blizzard of ‘78. I knew that he felt vindictive, having ig. nored all of them and kept the campus open during the storm. “I don’t think I’ll ever _ forget the triumphant look on his weatherbeaten face as he gathered himself to his full ’ height, arched his hoar-frost encrusted brow, and looking me straight in the eye; said, “Hi, Bruce.

The issue of cutbacks became- a’ federa1 one at an on-campus luncheon sponsored by the Pervasive Derivatives last Tuesday, March 27. PC 1leader and prime ministerial hopeful Joe Clerk unveiled plans for the “s.ubsidization, emancipation and general making-better-ness of our institutions of higher learning.” The well-known and oft-confused politician was speaking at a public meeting and luncheon in the elegant “Chateau au Sud de Campus” restaurant and patisserie at UW. Clerk’s speech was preceded by some commotion when, before Clerk’s arrival, an orangutan jumped onto the lectum and began shrieking and hurling chunks of excrement at the attentive diners. Confusion was compounded when Clerk finally showed up, and the audience realized that the tardy MP was not yet speaking. After the ape had been lured away by bright young students who offered it handfuls of groat-clusters, Clerk outlined his four-point plan: 1. The immediate institution of Conservative Arts programs at all Canadian universities 2. The abolishment of all tuition fees and guaranteed minimum $10,000 sub. sidies for all graduate students 3. Unconditional tenure for all faculty, administration and staff, excepl in instances of utmost gravity (loss ol keys etc.) 4. A “beer’allowance” of $25 per week for all full-time students. When asked how the alleged government would intend to subsidize these programs, Clerk attempted to shrug, knocking over his water pitcher in the process. Press’aids present at Clerk’s talk revealed that Clerk is preparing for the ensuing election by taking charisma lessons from well-known American politician, debaucher and potential assassination victim Ted Venery, while Clerk’s ‘wife, Moron McLeer has al ready started to wear tight jeans, carry around Nikons with unnecessary extra lens attachments, and write foi Harlequin Books.
Thar’s gold in them thar Bell&, Is there a revolution of the antiquated marking system in the offing? The bane of students and teachers alike may be coming in for a major overhaul if Professor Giuseppe Calco-Pirite of the English department \ has his way. ln a telephone interview with the G!ossette, Calco-Pyrite complained that the meaning of university grades has deteriorated uncontrollably* ovei the past ten years. “A mark of B or B minus just isn’t worth anything anymore. Too many high marks are being shovelled out. “My scheme boasts sheer elegant simplicity only a little short of earthshaking genius. Markers would simply reverse the present scheme of marking by changing A to F, F to A and so on. “The benelits would be intuitively obvious to anyone with a peanut for a brain;” he continued. “The new sys0tern will effectively eliminate grade inflation and produce the sort of grade , _
distribution that statisticians have been hypothesizing for years.” Calco-Pyrite became concerned about the present marking system last year when he realized that students were receiving a preponderance of As that threw off the bell curve. “Not only does this cheapen the value of an A for the students, but it tends to undermine the validity of the entire system, and it also screws up a considerable amount of statistical theory. Reversing all the marks would remedy the situation nicely.” Eff Minus, Dean of the Arts Faculty, scoffed at Calco-Pyrite’s suggestion. “It would require an incredible amount of work. To reverse the marking scheme, professors would have to throw bundles of papers up the stairs. The physical strain could prove fatal in some cases.” Calco-Pyrite defended his scheme, explaining, “An average student who puts a fair amount of work into an
essay and gets a grade that would disgrace his family name will panic and really crack down on his next assign ment. Of course he will fail miserably. “In a state of emotional despair, he will be desperate enough to seek extra help,. attend every lecture, and read, read, read, hoping to pull up his mark. Needless to say, if he survives this ordeal, he will know his subject inside out and still have pathetic grades. The professor, on the other hand, will have a beautiful old-fashioned distribution of grades. ‘&Few students are brilliant enough *to flunk right out, but most are good enough that the prospect of it will scare them into working like dogs.” The idea came to Caico-Pyrite while he was relaxing in a snowbank by the - Faculty Club, enjoying a bottle of Aqua-Velva. “If the concept catches on, Waterloo could get a reputation as a really tough school. Anyone with an 1Q over 160 wouldn’t be able to cut it.” 7
Surprise search of Burnt’s office sheds no light It has been disclosed by Vice President Tom Brstoccolli that the. office of late UW President Burnt Math7 NEWS was raided by the R.C.M.P. yesterday. Inquisitor-Detective Arnold DeMeaner of the Kitchener Detachment of the force told the Glossette in a telephone interview that there was no specific reason for the raid, which took .place the day after MathNEWS died, listening to tapes of his old speeches. “We were just curious, that’s all. We certainly didn’t have any reason to suspect that MathNEWS might have any ties to organised crime, or that he might be their link to ‘certain subversive leftist elements-on campus bent on destroying everything that we hold sacred. Honest. “And even if we did, we certainly couldn’t tell anyone - not that there’s anything to hide, or course .” DeMeaner was surprised to learn that MathNEWS had passed on early the previous morning. “Oh,” he said. “I guess that sure makes us look silly, doesn’t it?” _ When asked what R.C.M.P. agents found in the office, DeMeaner replied, “Nothing was found. Literally nothing. “The entire office was completely empty. No desk, no filing cabinets, no stuffed animals, no jacuzzi, no glass jars filled with groat-clusters, no coffeemaker, no maps of New Zealand, no Group of Seven art reproductions, no beanbag chairs, no spider plants in cute missha,pen ceramic pots made by public school-age children, no copies of the ‘National Enquirer’ - in short, none of the things that one would expect to find in the office of a busy executive. “And there were no traces of cocaine found in MathNEWS’ coat-pocket. Especially since his coat-pocket wasn’t there.” Bright young student reporter, Brian GrapefruitTang oft he Misprint, who arrived minutes after the raid took place, pointed out that the office was actually empty. “This is illogical and highly suspicious,” he suggested to De Meaner and accused De Meaner of attempt. ing to cover up R.C.M.P. involvement in MathNEWS’ mysterious death.” DeMeanei told Grapefruit-Tang to “Blow it out your shorts. crumburn,.” Grapefruit-Tang’s car was later found to be parked too close to an unmarked oiivegreen van outside the Administration building, and it was impounded by Campus Security until further notice..

UW wins award High interest rates in th’e international investment world mean UW will balance its budget this year aftei: . all. The university’s Fiscal and Financial Fuhrer, Bruce Golightly, told the senate last week, “interest from investments in third-world dictatorships will earn UW about $3 million this year.” Dividend income is up because of the tense international situation, explained Golightly. With wars in Indochina and racial strife in Africa, “the market is. ideal for short-term military investment,” he said. In a telephone interview with the Glossette he confided the university is now taking in 30 to 40 per cent in overnight investments (mainly to fly-by-night arms runners) and up to 50 per cent on interest in military coups in the third world. “As a rough guesstimate,” Golightly postulated that UW r;ffectively owned an army of about fourteenthousand strong across the world. “We’re thinking of issuing special jackets bearitig the new UW crest for our soldiers abroad. ’ ’ Golightly added that UW’s new international fundraisiig campaign flushed well with the Poltical Science co-op program that sends bright, young students to incite revolutions in underdeveloped countries. (See story page 3. ) The money invested is not surplus,’ explained Golightly; UW has no big*endowment. Tuition fees from regular studi=nts are collected only once each fall but are spent gradually over the entire ybar. “In the mean time,” explained Golightly, -“the money is put to profitable use funding miscellaneous ‘self-interest groups’.” Some people have expressed concern over UW’s involvement with the future of politically volatile countries. “All the money goes into prime money-market countered Golightly. “UW does not involve paper,” itself with ttie politics of the matter.” Neve_rtheless, one small South American state ex- ’ pressed its appreciation to UW for its in-tervention in a recent rebellion by awarding its coveted “Hitler Cross”. The iron cross is adorned with oak leaves a?d groat-clusters.
Tactical nuclear device threatens elephants Security officials yesterday averted an apparent plot to sabotage UW’s Food Services Plant. Les Cunning of Campus Security r’eported, “A thin, spider-like creature was found skulking about the building. When we approached him he vanished inside the plant. .&About once a month some nut tries to get inside to play a practical joke by putting meat in thk hamburgers, or something stupid like that. so we followed him inside. It’s lucky we did. because he had one of those ‘do-ityourself’ mini plutonium bombs from Heathkit, and he was about to blow us ail sky-high.” Security officers defused
the bomb just in time. The saboteur has not been identified. “When we asked him who he was, he just kept repeat‘No name, no ing, name. . .‘,” explained Cunnmg. “We’re lucky we stopped h)m from destroying the /plant. It would have put a big dent in Elephant Week, because Food Services was preparing a great big batch of simulated groat-clusfers at the time. . “The poor guy was in pretty bad shape -just skin and bones, so we’ve been fattening him up qn Food Services Yorkshire Pudding.

Here’s a picture passed on to us from the stu.dent newspaper Misprint which said it couldn’t print it because they had “a policy against sexism”.

Student interrogated as headline is padded to fill every last,bit of available space, like Losing your Student Identification Card can be no cup of tea. First-year General Arts student, Karl Friedrich Kowplowkapotchnik found that out last week when he misplaced his. “I never realized it before,” explained Karl, ‘bbut it’s just like a ‘Who Card’ you don’t really need it unless you don’t have one.” Karl first noticed that that his card was missing over a week ago, on Tuesday, March 20, when he tried to check a book out of the Arts Library. “It was the nineteenth-century cl&sic, ‘You Can Do It’ by Immanuel Kant. I needed it for my Phil 101 course. I couldn’t buy a copy because my father won’t allow ‘Commie Pinko Homosexual Yid’ literature in the house.

Bright young students in tasteful newspaper Those of you who were on campus yesterday may have noticed bundles of newspapers that bore a,striking resemblance to the Glossette, lying in strategic locations around the university. Don’t be fooled. If you take closer look at the frond cover, you’ll realize that what’you actually read was a clever ptrody of the Glossette called the “Gazette”. The faked eight-page Gazette was conceived atid produced by the bright young staff of Misprint, the year-qld student newspaper that won financial support in a referendum last week. Three weeks ago Misprint came out with a centerspread parody of the K-W S-tracgor Cassette, which the$ called the “K-W Record” ! . The tasteful, witty front cover boasted a picture of two female students sitting in last week’s sunshine. The cutline aTtached to the photograph referred to “person-watching:’ and “boy-watching”. We at the Glossette office all had a hearty chuckle over that one! More good fun was found inside, where notices from the secretariat announced a whole bunch of hilarious meetings, and desks, chairs, bicycles and so on were advertised as being for sale from Central Stores. We really split our sides, though, w.hen we reai about students facing charges of “being drunk while driving at the start or end of their studies”. “The drunken driver is a danger to society, but it’s not seen that way by the system,” says a judge in the page three story. The bright, young Misprinters delved into black humour on the next page, with their devastating parable about the

Karl was again pursued by Security officials, and an exciting car chase ensued, which resulted in the destruction of a disabled K-W Transit vehicle, a migrating Red Tundra Worm and one green Campus Cop Car. “When I got home, I found my ,Student Identification Card lying on top of my old Sunday School reader, ‘next to my picture of mom, just where I left it last Monday night when I had my glass of milk before I went to bed promptly at nine-o’clock. Boy, did I ever-feel silly.”

Well, Mr. Crimsqn isn’t called “Red” for nothing. And it’d be too obvious having one of the them profs handling it or the boys in Biology for that matter. Have you ever looked closely at the tomato plants in the greenhouse? Columbian tomatoes. Chungaaaaaaa !!!!! You have no idea how hard it is to type in a stream of consciousness fashion when the typewriter has no exclamation marks. You see, there’s periods (. . . . . . . ) and apostrophes ( rltrlll) but no exlamation marks (!!!!!!!). Aha!! So how, you cleverly ask, did they just appear’? Well;a little trick I learned when I did my Doctorate at Harvard (oops, I shouldn’t say that, or you might be able to deduce who I am) was that if you put down a period, like this. and then backspace, like thisyou’ll (iguess you couldn’t see the backspace, but you’ll note that the-next word wasn’t separated from the first, due in fact to the backspace) be in such a position (missionary?) (Ed. Note: I should apologize for the appearance of that joke twice in this issue (see Positions Avoidable). I was at a loss to see how to replace it (“doggy” seems so lame), but let me asssure you ‘that it will be temporarily retired from our active joke file until it regains its delightful freshness - say about four days) that, by simply typing an apostrophe, like this’ you’ll have synthesized an exclamation mark, like this.’ damn, i forgot the backspace. Of course you never see my typescript, since the typesetter completely digests it and spits out pretty copy, which is why I have to. keep finding it each week with opulent verbiage, as it would digest me if i didn’t. But still, the bit about exclamation marks.! (dammit again!. shit??) is totally irrelevant, which is how i feel, like. Do you realize that we are halfway through this article, and we haven’t yet used the word “redoubtable”‘? I hope you’re impressed at my self-control. Anyvi/ay, back to the subject of drugs. Oar regretat missing the shipment of March 16 was considerably intensified when we lost our stash (inside that big, floppy hat that we are always seen inhaling from) and had to bum roaches for the rest of the week. Rumour has it that Alfie was giving complimentary shotguns to partyers. His last name isn’t Lungs for nothing. ‘Speaking of Alfie, we’re very sorry to see him go. He was certainly a man to deal with, if you catch my drift. -His only fault was that he was forever losing large quantities of dope. He regularly misplaced dime bags and even ounces. They say ’ that the axe fell when Burnt fbund out he had lost a few keys. It’s strange that he’d be concerned about a thing like that. All pe ever smokes is rolled-up copies of one of the’-societies’ newspapers. oh wow man i swear i just saw an orangptan swing past my office up here in HH - oops. I must be coming dow.n. Somebody else saw it too. I suppose it’s time to snort some more groat-clusters. You know, from a Utilitai-ianistic point of view, groat-clusters are definitely where it’s at. None of this cheap Arts Lecture cocaine that would be better used to whiten your coffee. None of that free-and-legal grass in the Psych building, either. The researchers just give you thk stems and seeds and save the rest for themselves. I bet every bright, young student I can almost see through the tiny, inacc-essible windows in my office would give a group of silver fourpenny coins in order to samply just one groat-cluster. (Ed.

.Pretzels and 4. a hydrophobia inspired new way to sweat -Anyone can do it. Everyone should. So says Dr. Bertrand Nerk, a kindly. UW kinesiology -- -professor, wh9 is noone in particular. He’s been no-one in particular for fifteen years. His pitiful claim to fame is that he is the originator and perpetrator of a new craze on campus - combination running and yoga: This is nothing actually newsworthy, but we’re long on space- this week.Besides, you may have seen a contorted assemblageof arms and legs traversing the ring road at spekd, and wondered what it was. It was Dr. Nerk. . If you’re curious, he can be fo’und any morning at nine o’clock hopping up and down the Dana Porter Arts Library stairs. As we found him, one leg was gracefully thrown over his shoulder, the shin twisted laterally such that he could grip his baby toe delicately between his teeth. At the same time, his arms rotated rapidly at the elbows in a shoveling motion. He wore no clothes. The entire effect was a pleasing euphony of movement. ’ “This thing is really catching on,” ‘reports Dr. Nerk. “About nineteen progressive people have, with my help, f0rmed.a club, and laymen frequently ask what I am trying to pull.” Dr. Nerk has been imitating a pretzel for years, but running at the same time is a recent innovation. “I was at home in the backyard practising the difficult ramrod blam (both ankles crossed behind the neck) when a rabid dog sprang at me from a tree. Without thinking to untie myself, I ran like a rabid dog was after me. It didn’t take.long before I realized I was ontQ a great exercise. The rabid dog is a nice touch, but not necessary.” The beginner is well advised to take it easy at first, lest one land heavily on the road. Nerk’s advise: don’t trip in front of a bus. And train only under expert supervision. / “The beginner must realize he is totally incompetent, and must pay me an exorbitant sum’ of money to, tell him , what to do. This is the only way.”
,But, Dr. Nerk says, running and yoga will benefit anyone who cares to try it. “Running and yoga is a real all-round exercise, building strength, stamina, flexibility, and tolerance for pain. “It,develops a healthy fanatical jock mentality, %a real appreciation of the rich, clean smell of sweat.” He elaborated t hat running and Yoga must be included in any lifestyle with any pretense of ade quacy, and that those who ignore this warning will Pay dearly. “Once again I must emphasize that to do it at all properly, you must pay me to get my invaluable instruction.”
Armpits up to scratch Last Saturday the Mech Eng Armpits battled with the St. Paul’s Pacifists in the Intramural hockey championship game, and .butchered them. The final Score -was 55-O. The game started with prayer-service by St. Paul’s while the Armpits-&mped pails of corn syrup over the _Pacifists. The Pacifists had some difficultymoving the puck after this. Mech Eng then scored heavily after throwing computer card confetti into the Pacifists’ eyes. St. Paul’s brought the puck to centre ice and courteously passed the puck to a Mech Eng player who seemed to want it. In gratitude, the Mech Eng player knocked him down with his stick and skated over his face. The Armpit then went on to score and kill the goalie. Meanwhile, in a great defensive move, the Armpits were checking their opponents in the far corner. The Pacifists thanked them and turned in order to have their other sides chkcked. As the Pacifists bled in the corner, the Armpits gang attacked the Pacifists’ new goalie and made him swallow his leg pads. Needless-to-say, the Armpits scored frequently after this. After the game they were served refreshments by those Pacifists with all four limbs still attached c to their bodies.
.FASS replaces parties vv.ith par&line: . cheezies are {out FASS has seen the light, according to Nella !Nai, newly-appointed head scriptwriter for next year’s FASS ‘80 The annual satirical revue about campus life is going to change its colours, “and drop its sycophantic role of catering to the wishes of the administration,” !Nai told the Glossette in a telephone interview. “No more of this ‘anti-student’ stuff. We’re going all out to expose the rich, and how they shift the burden of cutbacks onto the backs of the oppressed student. “It was Dave Garter-belt’s review that did it,” he continued. Garterbelt was the editor of the recently disenfranchised C hevrite, which now publishes from downtown Waterloo. “We, all felt jusi awful after reading his review. We hadn’t realized how mean we were being to the engineers and all. I guess we were just mystifying the,issueS.” Jim Hedgetrmmer, director for FASS ‘80, said that next year’s show will consist of dramatizations of the Free Chevrite struggle interspersed with readings from “My Struggle”, by Albania’s Enver Hoxha. “There won? be any of the traditional decadence and counter-re’volutionary pacifist material. It only serves to divide thk students.”
o,,
We asked Hedgetrmmer if the new line that the FASS company was adopting didn’t conflitit with tht: spirit of the group’s name, which stands for Faculty, Administration, Staffand Students. “Yeah,” he said, “but we’re going to change all that. It’s the Staff and Students who are always the underdogs, so we’re going to shorten the name to SS.” !Nai also guaranteed that; “We’ll make sure this time that a certain Board of Pubs chairperson and Misprint contributor who will go unnamed won’t be onk of the main scriptwriters. It’s really great to have Dave around-to point out the really rabid reactionaries who will go to any length to subvert our purpose. “It sure took us a long time to figure out that audiences weren’t laughing with us but at us. Once we weed out all the misfits we’ll be back on our feet again.” Hedgetrmmer pointed out, “There’s just one thing we’ll be sure not .t’o change. We took note of the fact that Dave really liked Pseudomoto’s hunchbacked jig and Henry Morgan Light’s pegleg jive, so we’re planning to have lots of dancing cripples.” !Nai agreed; “I understand Dye really gets off on that sort of thing.”
Red Crimson edits out the controversy’ Editing the administration’s Glossette can be a difficult job for a selfrespecting newspaper man. On the one hand he has to maintain a true sense of objectivity, while on the other, he knows he’ll lose his job if he does. This, however, does not seem to present a problem for ,Glossette editor Red Crimson. “Just because I am hired and paid by the administration, does not mean
I Will compromise on journalistic standirds’ ’ , Crimson said during a recent press conference. “I will do my utmost to promote the University when it excels, and to conveniently ignore any of its failings” he added later at a meeting with Vice President Pedantic Tom Britscoldski. Friends say that Crimson does not see any paradox in this mainly “because his brain hasn’t worked for the last 6 years. ” What does Crimson like doing the most as editor of the Glossette? “I think that I get the most satisfaction from typing out the Faculty Changes every week. ‘My favourite one went something like this: ‘S.C. Johnson, Professor in the Dept. of Computer Science, commencing July 1, 1978 and terminating June 30, 1979.’ With such information, I feel that I am honestly contributing to society.” Friends also say that Crimson is “a little bit on the dull side.” Looking back over the past 6 years Crimson has been editing the Glossette, Crimson fondly remembers what he Cbnsiders to be his finest news story: “You see, UW used to have this sculpture on campus that looked Iike a big red worm, you see, and, but, th’en it was taken away, and then later on, sometime later, you see, UW got a new sculpture on campus: this big breeze boar, and, uh, we wrote a story on it, uh, yeah.” Friends agree that Crimson’s favourite story was “The big boar.” Crimsbn is a dedicated worker, working for you in his rather plush Glossette offices. If you’re up early --enough you might see him bicycling to work. He says he likes to bike to work since ‘*the exercise helps the circulation by pumping oxygen to the * brain. ’ ’ Friends say that Crimson needs all the oxygen in the brain that he can get.
