Editorial The recent decision by the student Federation Executive to book the band Battered Wives for a Fed pub in October demonstrates a lack of taste and good judgement. The decision was made at a hastily called executive meeting after Denise Donlon, Board of Entertainment (BENT) programmer, requested that they rule on bringing the band in because “I don’t want to get all the flack.” Going to the executive for a decision should mean that more than the normal considerations which determine whether or not a band is hired are involved. Wellreasoned judgement and not just a desire to please students and make a profit is a duty of all elected student officials. And yet despite some consideration of the moral question involved, the main discussion centered on information presented by which clearDonlon - information ly favoured the hiring of the band. Donlon told president Mark McGuire, vice-president Peter Wigglesworth, and board of commun. ications chairperson Steve Conolly that the band’s album is selling well in Thee Record Store and that there_ fore the expected “draw” would be worth the money the band would
cost. -She also stated that the alternatives (Ray Materick, Ernie Smith and the Roots Revival, or Tuxedo Max) would not, in her opinion, draw as well. The executive agreed with her. Wigglesworth told Imprint that he would endorse the hiring of any band that would draw well. And McGuire said “From the little I know about the band, it (the name] is only a promotion gimmick. They don’t advocate battering wives.” It would appear that the executive’s judgement was mercenary to say the least. The acts which Donlon mentioned as alternatives might not draw as well (better planning might have offered more alternatives) but at least those entertainers set .out to earn their publicity honestly. Battered Wives are apparently well aware that ample publicity can be obtained by the flippant use of a handle (and logo: a fist pounding through a heart) that makes battered women everywhere cringe every time it is inflicted upon them. Statistics show that the uency of wife abuse is higher child abuse. But for reasons finance and fear of reprisal battered women are unable summon the courage to flee
freqthan of many to their
homes or call the police (who are’ often reluctant to act). Nevertheless, no fewer than 119 women sought help from Women in Transition (formerly Abused Wives Task Force) in Kitchener in a six month period. This must be considered the tip of a very large iceburg. A local woman, a former battered wife who is active at Anselma House (where battered women can go for safe shelter and help) said “It’s a mockery; the band is making a joke of a situation that is no joke.” She has a point; a joke is a joke but the exploitation for profit of a tragic, and to a large extent helpless, minority group reeks of a regressive, narrow and sadistic I mentality. Diane Mark Smith, board of and! education vice-chairperson founding member of the UW Women’s Interest Group has said that “the name Battered Wives encourages the group’s audiences to have a posi,tive attitude about violence done to women.” Last year, when promoters bowed to public pressure and threatened to drop the band as the front act for Elvis Costello in Toronto unless they dropped ‘Battered from their name, the band quickly acquiecsed. The obvious reason was money, not
principle since the name was later restored. They also dropped it from their album sleeve, but not from any subsequent live-performance publicity. Obviously, they know that’ people buy albums after seeing an act. Donlon herself requested that the band’s logo not appear on Fed posters advertising the event. Apparently she feels this half-measure sufficient. Last October the National Union of Students made an extensive examination of the group’s name, logo and the social impact of their music and as a result sent a letter to all members (the Federation is one) requesting them to refuse to hire the band. At lat Monday’s BENT meeting the Engineering, Science and Math societies, and the Arts student union all declined the opportunity to co-sponsor the event. To give this band the chance to earn more publicity and money is nothing short of endorsing its callow opportunism. Protests should be directed to Fed president Mark McGuire who has state,d that ultimate responsibility lies with him. If the-Federation persists in its decision to allow the band to perform here, students should boycott (read: ignore) the event.

-.?Rewsi _Women’s The Women’s Interest Group and the International Students Organization (ISA) are now recognized student groups at UW. Both were recognized at the Board of Entertainment (BENT) committee meeting last Monday. BENT is responsible for pubs, clubs and activities lof the Federation. Smith, Dianne Mark spokesperson for the Women’s Interest Group, was there to apply to the committee for official recognition. The basic aims of the group, noted Smith, are discussion and problem solving. Topics covered wiil be divisions in society, discrimination and university life, with the emphasis on special circumstances involving women.

Most BENT members got into the act, questioning the goals and such things as possible budgeting for the proposed club. A motion to recognize was put forth, and passed with unanimous consent. The new group will meet weekly. Check the boards in the CC for times. The emphasis will be put on participation. Also of note was the ratification vote for the ISA, which was suspended (see Imprint - July 17/79) and subsequently reinstated on Sept.11 (see _rmprint - Sept. 21/793 by Federation president Mark %lCGUiX and BENT chair-

When questioned about the move, McGuire stated that “substantial changes have taken place in the organization (ISA).” They were also having difficulty booking a room in the CC without club status. Representatives of the ISA were resentful over the “wrong” and “illegal” expulsion last summer and expressed wishes to have the Federation leave their internal policies to them in all cases, but still invited McGuire and the BENT representatives to future ISA meetings. The vote passed by a 3-0 tally with two abstentioys, a narrow majority. There are some problems concerning their financing yet to be worked out, pending the submis-.. sion of a budget.

The Maranatha Christian Society’s application was tabled until an executive representative can meet with BENT. The possibility of having a florist/plant service on campus was also _ discussed. Future pubs at the Water10.0 Motor Inn were mentioned including Teenage Head with ESS, Battered Wives, Fat Shadows from Ottawa and Helix, a local group.

At the beginning of Sunday’s meeting Brigid Rowe, ISA president apologised, saying the CSA’s name appeared by mistake. The meeting began with one of the Vietnamese, who was introduced as Carl, telling the meeting about his experiences escaping from Vietnam. He told the meeting that he first escaped to Chin6 and then managed to leave China by boat. He was quite critical of China’s actions with respect to the refugees, claiming that they .had urged the refugees to leave Vietnam sb as to score propaganda points. After Carl finished his story, discussion was opened up to the floor. Psychology Professor Doug Wahlsten was the
first to speak. He denounced both Vietnam and China for their roles in the problem. He claimed that neither country was socialist or communist, but rather fascist. He then began to draw parallels between Canada and Vietnam, claiming that work camps had existed in Canada in the same as they do now in Vietnam. Another speakef got ‘up and introduced the idea that the refugees were being forced out because they were ethnic Chinese who had brought racism upon themselves because they had owned all the property in the previous regime, “much like *the Jews in Germany in the thirties.” Others branded the refugees as ‘counter-revolutionaries’ or stated that they needed to be educated i-n politics so that they would not leave their country.

t Political discussion predominated at a public discussion on the ‘boat people’ sponsored by the International Students Association, ’ Sunday night. This was to the disappointment and disgust of the ISA’s invited guests, two Vietnamese refugees who had told the meeting of their experiences. After the meeting had proceeded for some time they stated through their interpreter that they had been led to believe that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss methods to help relieve the suffering currently taking place in Southeast Asia. The meeting was originally billed as being cosponsored ?vith the Chinese Student Association. According to George Chu, CSA preiident, this was because of a misunderstanding. He had originally agreed to book the room for the ISA while they were suspended, but
It was at this point that the Vietnamese became dissatisfied with the discussions taking place and asked that the meeting return to discussing the very real problems of the refugees left in Asia. A discussion then ensued as to the best way of helping the refugees. Wahlsten and others thought that the best way to help the refugees was to support armed revolutionary movements. Others felt that a resolution condemning the Canadian and American governments and demanding that the U.S. and Canada take all of the refugees was the proper course. It was pointed out that the refugees in Canada require winter clothing and one person attending the meeting offered to help by supplying a number of winter coats. Frank Morison

Back to Front One of the more interesting facets of journalism is watching stories develop from minor, back-page fillers to front page banner-headline extravaganzas. Unfortunately, it isn’t easy for reader to determine the average precisely which story is in which stage of development. Co,nsider this clipping, dated April 5, 1979, from the Town Tattler column of the Lindstadt Daily Rag: Early this afternoon, a metal worker in South Lindstadt put down his materials, turned off his lathe and walked out of Kissinger Tool and Die. Alfred Kronstedder, when questioned as to why he would commit such a rash act, muttered something about “rights of the individual in a mechanized world” and “a desire to opt out of the system”. Early this morning, however, .Kronstedder was back on the job, with,‘as his co-w,orkers were quick to point out, both eyes blackened and many nastylooking gashes about his head and shoulders. Obviously, he and Mrs. Kronstedder had a long discussion on the rights of the individual... To all appearances, this snipit of gossip is of no importance. In fact, it was of no importance, except of course, as the precurser to the following story, which appeared on the City Stories page of the Rag three months later:
voted 3-2 in favor of declaring bankruptcy. The city had been in financial difficulty for the past month. When asked for a comment on the situation, Ronald Maxwell III declined to say anything. Sources within the Council, however, have confirmed the rumour that Maxwell, its Chairman, blames Alfred Kronstedder and the Citizens Against Taxation (CAT). Kronstedder, on the other hand, was all too happy to speak out. “I didn’t see,” he said, “why I ’ should be forced ‘to pay for things which I don’t use. I mean, it ain’t right.” He went on to discuss the rights of the individual in a mechanized world and detailed his desire to opt out of the system. When asked if he had ever received benefits from any sponsored program, Kronstedder stated that he had been receiving Veteran’s Insurance for over fifteen years. Making one’s task all the more difficult is the fact that the two stories may not, at first, appear to have anything in common. By the time events are important enough to merit space on the front page, they may have no visible connection with each other. Observe what happens six months later:

pension funds, the army and the government itself, which will be forced to fire over 30,000 of its employees. “The CAT (Citizens Against Taxes) is definitely to blame,” Congressman Phil Debbins stated at a press conference this afternoon. (For details of CAT, see story on page 2.) “It makes me sad,” he added, “to think that such a radical movement began in my home state.” The CAT is believed to have started somewhere in New York, perhaps around Buffalo or Lindstadt. Alfred Kronstedder, President ’ of the nation-wide movement, was overjoyed at the news. “This is a great day,” he said in a press release from CAT headquarters, “for all of us who have fought so long against the excesses of government.’ He then restated \ the movement’s stand for the rights of theeindividual in a , mechanized world and against those who do not feel the need to opt out of the system.

Most stories, once they have reached the front page, soon fade from the public’s memory, back through the pages until they disappear completely. This story, which is somewhat different, may continue to make the front page for a month or more (or, at any rate, until the existing social fabric. of the country,crumbles). In any case, it is easier to follow the decline of a story than its rise.

McGuire judge Francis Costello of Waterloo County Court ruled on Tuesday that Federation. president Mark McGuire’s rent is $450 monthly as of September, not $350 plus six percent as McGuire had claimed. Landlord Terry Good had asked the Court for a ruling on the matter since he claimed that the rent was $450. McGuire, who had been paying $350 under two consecutive leases from January to August, had argued that $450 was more than the six percent increase allowed by the law. The argument centered around the unusual setup of the two leases which both stated that the rent was $450, but also contained appendices which rebated $100 monthly to the lessees. Good claimed under oath that he had done this “out of the goodness of my heart”. He said
SJW groups The Federation of Students held a mini conference at the Waterloo Motor Inn ’ Sunday afternoon. The purposes of the conference were two-fold. One was to acquaint members of the Federation executive, student’s council and other elected representatives to services on campus and to present fall programming. The second yas to’let the heads of various groups in administration, societies, clubs and village executive meet with the heads of the Federation. One of themain themes of the meeting was that of cutbacks in provincial funding for universities. Almost all groups present were feeling the effects of budgets that wereunable to keep up with inflation. Refering to inter-faculty disputes over percentage increases, Federation President Mark McGuire cautioned the heads of the groups not to “train our guns on ourselves when the problems were not started here.” Rather, he and many others thought that students should petition the provincial government for more money. Professor Dubey, of the faculty association, emphasized that while enrolment at the university as a whole is down about one hundred students this year, some departments, particularly mathematics, are filled to capacity and are actually turning away students due to- lack of resources. He suggested that some money in the university budget be diverted to a “money pool’! which these overenrolled depart-
ments could use so as to help them expand to meet the increased demand. The extra tuition from these students who would otherwise be turned away could then hel-p to replenish this pool of money. Also present were Bruce Moran and Linda Davenport of Health Services.
loses rent case that the tenants who had lived there previous to McGuire’s tenancy had paid $450 and had leased the premises for one year, commencing September 1978. However, Good said, they “had some problems with themselves” and he allowed them to leave in December 1978. Under cross examination by Randy Martin, counsel for McGuire, Good said “I had some problems with the (previous) tenants.” Martin asked Judge Costello for a one week adjournment in order to gather and submit evidence refuting Good’s statement that the previous tenants had paid $450, but the request was denied. Costello’s ruling was ‘that the $100 rebate given McGuire each month did not alter the fact that the rent stated in the lease was $450; since the lease and the rebate period ended at

the end of August 1979, the rent for September would be $450. “I wish it could have been worked out out of court” Good said after the court proceedings, “Maybe it would have been a better deal for him (McGuire) .” Martin had argued that under the Residential Tenancy Act the rent actually required to be given ($350) should constitute the legal rent. The whole issue became a public one on September 6 after Good posted copies of “Notice of early termination by landlord for non-payment” on UW cam. pus.

A consultant working for the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) independently of the UW Federation also recommended Confederation Life for student health insurance, citing not just financial reasons but range and flexibility of the plan. Other department and society heads reported on a variety of activities and the engineering society was pleased to say that the dredging of the Health Services duck pond by engineering frosh cleared away a lot of debris and will be done as a service to the university again next year.

News Shorts U of T Class of 700 Due to Cutbacks TORONTO - When professor J.B. Gilmore looks for a glimmer of understanding in the eyes of his Psychology’900 class he has a big job to undertake. That’s because there are 1,400 eyes on him. The University of Toronto, in an attempt to cope with insufficient funding at the university, has put about 700 students in Gilmore’s Thursday morning class. Peter Galway, students’ administra: tive council education commissioner,, said the size of the class is frustrating and ridiculous but there is little hope of changing the situation now. Harvey Cooper, arts and science student’s union executive assistant, said the class will have a “circus environment” and that such large classes make “a farce of education”. U of T president James Ham is worried that huge classes at universities could become the rule rather than the exception if continued underfunding of universities takes place. “What must worry us is to what extent classes like this become common experience,” said Ham. “It’s intolerable that a person’s university experience be dominated by classes that large.” Gilmore says some students in the class of 700 will be unhappy with the crowding but he believes the majority will be satisfied. He says no difficulties are foreseen in communicating with the students in the class.
Cutbacks in Britain: Increased Fees for Foreign Students LONDON - England’s 85,000 foreign students, including 1,000 Canadians, could be paying the full cost of their studies - $4,080 to $5,440 a year - if the Conservative government has its way. Foreign students are currently facing a tuition increase this term of between $350 and $830 but this increase still leaves the government paying 60 per cent. Tuition fees for foreign undergraduates in England this fall are about $2,550, up from last year’s $1,900, while postgraduates will be hit with fees of about $3,300, compared to last year’s $2,500. Currently the government pays 60 per cent of the cost of foreign students’ studies but the Conservatives are looking for a way out of spending the estimated $225 million a year. The government has also announced that the annual grant to universities and colleges will be cut by $18 million dollars this year and that grants to Great Britiain’s research councils will be cut by $10 million. Education department spokespersons of plans to eliminate say reports the foreign student subsidies are “pure speculation”.
Judge’ Exonerates Yiie University in Sexual Harrassment Case NEW HAVEN, CONN. - After a seven-month wait for a verdict, a U.S. judge has ruled in Yale University’s favour, dismissing a suit filed by a woman student who was sexually harrassed by a Yale professor. Price and five other Yale undergraduates filed suit in 1977, charging that Yale had failed’ to provide adequate grievance procedu&s for sexual harrassment cases, and had therefore violated Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX prohibits schools receiving federal aid from discriminating of the basis of sex. If the court had found Yale had in fact violated Title IX strictures, the university could have lost all its federal funding. Judge Ellen Burns ruled that Yale professor Raymond Duvall, who is no longer at Yale, did not propose to give Price, one of his students, an “A” in return for sexual favours and a “C” if she refused. Price, who is now a law student at the University of California at Berkeiey, got a “6”. In an eight-page decision Burns agreed that Yale’s grievance procedures had been ad hoc and inadequate, but that Price had suffered no direct damage as the result. The-decision was termed “thorough-. going gutlessness” by Linda Hoaglurid, one of Price’s lawyers. Added legal assistant Phyllis Cracker, “What we are trying to prove is that this is about harrassment, not about Pamela’s grade.” Lawyers for former student Pamela Price said that they will file an appeal in the controversial case. ’
U.S. Expects Increase Post-Secondary ’ Enrolment
in
WASHINGTON - While Canadian educators predict a levelling off and eventual decline in college and university enrolment, U.S. post-secondary education enrolment is expected to rise slightly this fall. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) also says it expects the full and part-time faculty members’ ranks to swell to 830,000 from the 820,000 level of last fall. NCES reports an increase of more than 100,600 registrations over last year’s enrolment; 11.4 million are expected to register this fall. But NCES still expects precipitous drops in college enrolment in the 1980s and early 1990s. Enrolment in the U.S. fell a drastic nine per cent in 1976 but has stabilized since then, with only a one to two per cent variance. However elementary school enrolment has d’eclined every year since 1970. Colleges and universities will feel the results when the 1970s first-graders reach age 18 in 1982 and 1983.
CUP Shorts; Ancient World Art Replicas On Display at UW Fine quality replicas of some of the great creations from the world of the ancient Greeks, have been collected by the Department of Classical Studies and its members at the University of Waterloo. These pieces have been organized for a display by the department in co-operation with the LJW Arts Centre Gallery and can ‘be seen in the showcases of the Modern
Languages building from October 3 to 31. The foundations of Western art and architecture were laid by the ancient inhabitants of the Aegea,n area, who, by 2000 B.C. were already skilled in painting, metalwork, sculpture and other arts. From the Bronze Age (30001100 B.C.) to the Hellenistic era of the fourth century B.C., Aegean peoples experimented with various art forms and created individual masterpieces which are today the pride of the
world’s great museums. The high quality replica enables students of antiquity to come into contact with some of these otherwise unavailable masterpieces. The displays in the Modern Languages building will provide an opportunity for all who are fascinated by the ancient world to view some of the key works of art from the past. Included are examples of Minoan and Mycenaean painted pottery, stonework, metalwork, and wall painting. The ensuing “Geometric Age” (1100-800 B.C.) is represented by pottery, as is the vibrant “Archaic Age” (800-500 B.C.) which saw the rise of the famous Greek black-figure painting. Examples of sculpture represent the Classical period (LOO300 B.C.), while the small-scale replica of the Stoa of Attalus in the Athenian Agora reflects the expansive Hellenistic Age (300-100 B.C.)
Polish Children’s Art Exhibition at UW Gallery In celebration of the International Year of the Child, the UW Arts Centre Gallery at the University of Waterloo will be showing an exhibition of Polish Children’s Art commencing October 4 and continuing until November 4. The exhibition includes and woodcuts and is paintings sponsored by the Consul General of the Polish People’s Republic. There will be an informal opening on October 4 at 4 p.m. There is no admission charge to the opening or the gallery show. There will be 140 pieces in the UW Arts Centre Gallery show, chosen from several hundreds of works that have been brought to Canada by the Polish diplomatic and consular missions in honour of 1979, the International Year of the Child. The works were created by Polish children aged three to sixteen and were selected through a nation-wide competition held in 1978 and run by the Ministry of Education of the Polish People’s Republic. The paintings and woodcuts show a wide ranging variety of themes from the Polish homeland, and what is surprising, many themes from North America such as Indians, big city scenes, Eskimos and more, which these children have learned about through pictures, stories, etc. The Gallery is usually closed on Statuatory Holidays, but special family viewing ’ hours have been arranged for this exhibition on Thanksgiving Sunday’ and Monday, October 7 and 8 from 2 to 5 p.m.

Village One Electipns
.
Neil Payne, of East Two, was newly elected Village One Council President last Monday, September 24. Payne polled 179 votes, while his rival, Jeremy Pegg of West Three gained 11% The election was a confused affair, particularly for the frosh, who received little advance notice. Nominations for the president closed at midnight, Sunday September 23, and the polls were open between 430 and 6:30 pm on the Monday. There was little time for campaigning. Village elections are customarilly held in the preceeding march for the fall term, but the winter ‘79 council failed to organize them. A new election is held in january for the winter '80 . term, at which Payne may stand for reelection. Spring - term elections are held in May. The first Council meeting this term will be this Sunday, September 30 at 10:00 pm. Payne will forward the name of James A. Griffiths to Council for ratification as vice-president. The rest of Payne’s executive will be ratified at the same meeting. Village Council is the representative of the students living in the, Village, and as such, deals with the Administration, established rules of conduct, co-ordinates student activities, and administers the student fund.
ES
gets tiew building
Toronto architects Moffat, Moffat and Kinoshita have been appointed to design a new building for the University of Waterloo’s Faculty of Environmental Studies. The building will replace some 40,000 square feet of rented space in offcampus buildings on Phillip Street in Waterloo. Budget
for the building
is $2,025,000
(in-1981 dollars). It will be financed by capital funds now on hand and a bank loan, with the bank loan payments to be made from funds that would haver been use d to pay for the rented space be made from funds that would have been used to pay for the rented space. UW has not built a new building since 1974, following a freeze on building grants by the provincial government. Since then space has been rented in light industrialbuildings near the university to house departments affected by the ongoing growth in activity at UW. Construction of the new building (Environmental Studies 2) is expected to begin in mid-1980, with occupancy #planned for the fall of 1981. \ It will house, all facilities of the School of Architecture, the School of Urban and Regional Planning’s planning studio, a graphics centre and graphics lab, a computer facility and the offices of the dean of the faculty, Dr. Gordon Nelson, who is chairman of the building committee. In addition it will provide 5,000 square feet of studio space for the Faculty of Arts’ fine arts department, which is also now located on Phillip Street. Three locations, di adjacent to the present Environmental Studies building, are being studied as a building site for the new structure.

10 lies in 9 sentences To the editor, In your September 3rd issue you ran an unsigned story on the International Students Association. In the short 6 sentence story you manage-to pack at least 10 lies (and about 5 “half truths”). You must congratulate yourselves as 9 lies in 10 sentences is even one above average for your normal performance. Let me begin to refute the major lies. Lie No. 1: “There has been a battle within the International Students Association (ISA) for the past couple of years as different international groups have tried to do battle with the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) bloc within the group.” What you fail to mention is that all attempts to split the ISA have come from the Federation of Students and the administration who have continueously attempted to split the ISA, Furthermore, not one “international group” has declared its opposition to ISA or tired to do battle with it (or within it), On the contrary many groups have condemned all attempts to split the organization. Lie No. 2: “First it was members of the African Students Association anh then it was members of the Indian Students Association” (who did battle within the ISA). This is a notorious lie. 1)Neither organization has ever discussed or taken a stand against ISA or any activity of ISA; 2)Many individual members of both the African Students Association and- the Indian Students Association are members of the International Students Association. 3)Further, it was only one member of the African Students Association who was within ISA who opposed the association. He agreed with the Federation cancelling rooms for an ISA dinner in December 77 and no one in a 9 member executive agreed with him. This person then stood for election at an ISA General Assembly and had 7 supporters. Than he and his supporters seeing that they were outnumbered left the meeting. And further the person who won the election for president was Aberra Makonen (20-o0), a member of the African Students Association. Lie No. 3: The battles are such that many of the International Stuclubs such as the Chinese dent Students Association do not take part in the ISA”. First, no club as such is a member of the ISA. Chinese students have taken an active part in the ISA and there have been Chinese students on the ISA executive continueously for the past 3 . years. Furthermore the CSA as a whole endorsed an ISA statement with 5 other national clubs on the immigration act and the-ISA and CSA executives collaborated in writing their respective statements against differential fees for foreign students. (And this happened in the past couple of years when their were these ‘big battles’) And even further, many members of the CSA are also members of the ISA, including the president himself! Lie No. 4: You than come out asgreat democrats and claim that the former president didn‘t want elections in the summer term because “less students were on campus.” This is a total fabrication! The former president did not want elections because he wanted to paralyze ISA; because he supported the federation expulsion. In fact by the July 26 general assembly the ISA had signed up more members than it had had for several years. Those elections took place during the semester and according to the ISA constitution. But how do you great democrats at Imprint explain the fact that your elections were held on August 5 after all classes and exams had ended? Great Democrats how is it that your former editors could claim that you had a 80 staff members; but only 6 voting staff show up
3 to your staff meeting to elect 4 positions? Let me skip the other lies andget to your last sentence. “The ISA ceased to be recognized club soon after the majority of the ISA had concluded that it had betrayed the International students by disregarding the purposes of the association.” This fabrication was not even given by the federation when McGuire arbitrarly suspended the ISA. In fact no one had heard it until Imprint “reported it”! When ISA was suspended no members of ISA even knew that there was a meeting to suspend it! Furthermore, no general assembly, . no executive meeting, no nationals club - “no majority (let alone minority) ever called for it to be suspended, or supported it’s suspension. On the contrary the majority of the ISA have rallied to have it reinstated. The lies and distortions of, the events surrounding the ISA indeed the whole journalistic “style” of this news article would make Goebbels proud! Salah Bachir ’
Student
employees
denied
back
pay
To the editor, Why have students been denied their retroactive pay by the university? To derive an acceptable answer to this question, one must examine matters relevant to both sides of the issue, consequently, the following is presented. The official agreement between the university and the union clearly establishes several important criteria: Initially, Article 1)Recognition and scope, affirms l)that the university approves and recognizes the union as the sole bargaining agent for specific “regular employees,” 2)that a “regular employee” is one who works in excess of twenty-two hours per week and “whose appointment is for more than five months”in any single period of employment, 8)that the word “employee” or “employees” whenever used in the agreement “will apply only toregular employees,” and 4)that a “temporary employee” is any employee who normally works in exe-ess of twenty-two hours per week but who “works not more than five months” in any single period of employment. Here, since student summer employees do not work five months, it can be concluded that they are temporary not regular employees; also, that “temporary student employees”are therefor not part of “the regular employee bargaining unit.” However, temporary student employees have been represented and agreements have been achieved on their behalf with the/university. Article 5) union security and dues checkoff, provides further imp,ortant clarification. Section 2) declares that “all regular bargaining unit employees” must pay union dues. In comparison, section 5) asserts that the university agrees to *deduct from specific “temporary employees” an amount equal ‘to 80% of the monthly union dues paid by “regular bargaining ‘unit employees.” Thus, the ‘university clearly appears to have acknowledged that the union is not only the bargaining agent for temporary employees but also, and more importantly, that “temporary employees have been. bargained for as a separate unit” from “the regular bargaining unit.” This is further affirmed by the fact that “student temporary employees” receive 80% of the trades helpers’ pay rate rather than just the basic standard wage; this is a direct result of the unionbargainingfor“student temporary employees” as a separate unit/classification from “regular employees.” With this brief background analysis, the issue of retroactive pay and t-he involved parties’ positions can now be addressed directly. The university states it has a one page memorandum/supplementary agreement with the union on retroactive pay. Also, that this agreement defines who will and who willnot receive retroactive pay, in that it states that those “employees” who are still employed on the date of ratification will receive it and those who are not - will not. Here the university’s stated position is that since student “temporary employees” are no longer employed - they will not receive retroactive pay. The rationale presented for this agreement and position is that
\ “employees” no difficult to locate.

agreement does not include us, 3)the validity of said memorandum is questionable: it has not been ratified nor signed, and 4)the university’s rationale, namely, “we would be difficult to ‘locate,” appears unusual; unusual because ad-’ dresses to which our cheques were to be mailed were given to our supervisor, and also, the university will be issuing T4 forms for income tax purposes. Consequently, we have acted in the following manner: l)we have -signed and are processing a formalgreivance throughthe union’s chief steward” 2) the elected student senator has been contacted re our receiving his assistance, and 8)the president of the federation has been requested to intervene on our behalf. In conclusion, we present the following: It is interesting for us to note that the university management is very much like students; that is human - and subject to misinterpretation/misunderstanding and error. Consequently, reasonable humans resolve such situations through amicable negotiation. This, however, does require realization of such factors bv0 all uarties. I Therefore, do we resolve matters reasonably or otherwise?
The union’s position is quite different. John Kearsley, Chief Union Steward/ Executive Member/Member of the Union Bargaining Team, states as follows: 1) The supplementary agreement relates specifically to “regular employees”; in fact, student temporary employees were not even entered into the negotiation discussions on this matter, and therefore, the supplemental agreement has no effect on the “student temporary employees,“2)the supplemental agreement was not presented at the union ratification meeting, and thus, was not ratified, 3)at the joint university management/union executive meeting for signing the agreement, the memorandum/supplemental agreement was not presented for signatures; hence, it was not and still is not signed, 4)as Chief Union Steward he will assist in the formation of and present grieviences on behalf of the student temporary employees, 5)he will request the union’s lawyer be directed to act if the issue becomes a legal dispute, and 6)he will assist in any other way possible. Since I, Larry Smylie, have been designatediauthorized to speak/act for our student summer paint crew at Village 1, I can now set forth ourposition; that is, we have a right to our retroactive pay and we intend to receiveit. Our arguments are: 1)precedents; A)difficulty was encountered by student painters three years past in receiving retroactive pay but this was “they were paid!,” and B)last resolved; year we received it without difficulty, 2)theuniversity/unionagreement withits explicitly stated definitions of employee, regular employee, and temporary employee, clearly establishes that the wording of the memorandum/supplementary

Chief among these applications are real-time process control and wordprocessing systems. A brief explanation of each is in order. Real-time process control generally c.-involves using a micro to continuously monitor changing processes, and issue signals to devices that control the process. A simple example would be a home-heating system. A temperaturesensing device is connected to the giving it the ability to L microprocessor, measure the temperature of the building on a continuous basis. If the building gets too warm, the micro sends a signal to the building’s heat<ing system telling it to shut down. If the building becomes too cool, a signal is sent to turn the heating system back on. In a sense the microprocessor is acting as a thermostat, but there is an important difference. Because it is in fact a’ small computer, this “thermostat” can be programmed to maintain the building at

Such an “intelligent thermostat” would be only a small part of a much larger, more sophisticated home computer system,. Such a system would regulate lights’; air conditioners, and countless other appliances all around the house, all under the control of the microprocessors. -+IThe other major application of micros \is in the field of word processing. “Word is a general term for the processing” entire process . of entering, editing, proofreading and formatting any kind of textual information. “Textual Jnformation” can be anything from a shopping list to an essay, a phone book to a magazine article. Word processing systems allow you to sit in front of a computer terminal, entering text just as if you were in front of a typewriter, and then edit what you see before you are satisfied. A few simple instructions to the system allows you to format the output however you wish, and to print up as many copies of it-as you need. Such systems are already available.

Friday,
Wilcox
Perhaps it was his idea of a cheap trick to hurl upon us a somewhat demented imitation of Rick Neilson (that’s Neilson, not Nelson, no “Garden Parties”, please). But when ;lyou get right down to it, he was probably suffering from gas pains, as a result of the pizza he consumed,\before the show, at Frank Vetere’s. .Let’s try and look at all
the possibilities,
shall we?
Whatever the case, it was very difficult to discern whether Wilcox was fretting his
Strat, or if it was fretting him. It looked a little like hand-to-neck combat between a shaven lion and a demonic Fender. Yet back to the point at hand, David Wilcox, now minus the Teddy Bears, has acquired two new stiffs to fill the musical gaps in his one-minstrel show. However, I do believe the two deserve Juno Awards for simply being able to synchronize their feeble contributions with Wilcox’s maniacal lead solos. Unimpressed, you say? No, not really. I personally think David Wilcox is a reasonably fine axe-picker, but as far as composing and vocalizing, well, let’s just say that he has his own ideas of what constitutes a good song, and more importantly, what doesn’t. Wilcox cooks (and I use that word loosely) with somewhat strange ingredients and serves them up in a similiar fashion. Those compositions of his own design, including his most renowned piece, “Bad Apple”, are half-assed attempts at best, falling in the Zappa-Warhol rock/philosophy
category,

you might say.
However, it was the blues numbers which proved to be the devastation of the night. His cover of B.B. King’s, “Turn Me Loose”, turned out to the the exception, as his Muddy Waters-inspired numbers moved along incredibly slowly. Wilcox asks, no, he demands that his

time.
However, after listening to the first song, which must have been one of his least popular, one had to wonder if he’d be going uphill from there or very far down. Inaudible lyrics did nothing to rectify the situation, nor did Burton’s rather grotesque attempts at being sexy. Let’s face it, the man is no Gino Vanelli. Nevertheless, soon to come was “Timeless Love,“after whichadefinite rapport with the audience was established. Introductions of the 5-piece backup band followed “ITm Scared”, during whit h a definite oneness was harboured. Cummings introduced himself as “the hardened criminal,” a sarcastic reference to his recent charge for possession of marijuana, and it was thefirst time that any of his real feelings were displayed so directly. From then on, the audience seems toget into the music more than ever before. ‘The highlight of the evening was, without a doubt, the medley of “Guess Who” hits. Nostalgia will always rule, it seems. Musically, the concert was a success, if one is able to overlook the less than adequate quality of the sound system. But Cummings can sing, and his talents at the piano were displayed in numerous numbers, particularly “Dream of a Child.” Lead guitarist Jack Daniels was a pleasure to listen to, as was Henry Small on violin, the only two solo performers other than Cummings himself. Visually also, success was evident. Although Cummings does not go out of his way in this area, any further effort would be unnecessary, and would perhaps even ruin

Truthfully now, how can one thoroughly assess the musical prowess of an axe-man whose facial expressions mimic those of a hapless canine who has just learned it’s time to be fixed (snip, snip)? Could it have been the uncontrollable symptoms of some recurring form of apoplexy, passed down through the foliage of the .Wilcox familytree, which gave rise to the spasmodic, sometimes moronic contortions of his face?

statement? Furthermore, what does it really mean? In terms of our society& general, and most importantly,. our generation, experience is what counts; the experience of being, of perceiving and of feeling. “It’s been real” is a common adage, and honesty is stressedinall situations. It is these types of emotions which have the ability to create universality and if anything in this world can create the emotions to begin with, music can. Keeping in mind these few concepts, I am here to review Burton Cummings. A lengthy introduction is hardly necessary. The man is far from unknown. A former member of The Guess Who , Burton went: on his own and released his first album, entitled simply Burton Cummings, in 1975, from which the track entitled “Stand Tall” was released as the single that brought him. individual success. Subsequent albums are My Own Way to Rock, released in 1977, and Dream of a Child, released in 1978, from which Burton has had at least three addition hits. During the past few months, he has been busy with his 1979 tour, including such nearby stops as the CNE, Hamilton Place, and of course; the University of Waterloo. September 22, 7:30 PM: the PAC is virtually surrounded by bodies waiting for the doors to be opened. One wonders how ample room can be found, and yet, an hour later, the worry is gone; everyone is seated. Cummings started off as well as anyone .

reasons behind it were left unclear; however, the action was enough to get a reaction. And reaction which leads to introspection is the mark of any worthwhile experience. Cummings ended with another of his hit songs, “My Back Yard,” leaving his first hit for his first callback. Yet it was not enough. Only after two more songs and another callback was the crowd near ’ to being
satisfied, and Cummings allowed to leave a reduced number of demands for more.
I said before that music is a universal language. It creates unity, whether by identical introspection within members of any given populace or simply by those members getting into the same thing at the same time.

This is essential to him as he obviously feels (for what reasons I cannot imagine) that his ditties warrant this type ‘of meticulous observation. Unfortunately, the Ball Room boozers at the Waterloo Motor Inn appeared more concerned with beer bottles, bust-lines and bumping on the dance floor. David Wilcox,has been around for some
time now, bounding around the Toronto and vicinity nightclub/university circuit, so why, in the name of power chords, does he insist on using a $1.98 sound system? It’s disgraceful, sinful, to even think about transmitting the scream of a tortured Strat (or a Les Paul for that matter) through a monitor that couldn’t handle the “snap” of a wet tea-towel against unprotected flesh.

despised. Critics, on the whole, have treated Zeppelin as an on-again, off-again romance, alternating between rave reviews and almost vicious attacks. Even selfproclaimed fans seem split on some of Led Zeppelin’s other works. It is a often-debated issue among fans and critics, for instance, as to whether the last studio album, Presence, was their best album ever or their most dismal effort yet. The newly released In Through the Out Door promises to attract the same degree of mixed emotions as Presence did. The reason isn’t really hard to see. In Through the Out Door in many respects is simply an extension of the style displayed in the previous album, though based more heavily on the blues roots that are essentially the band’s greatest strengths. Presence abandoned the often self-indulgent style present in parts of Physical Graffiti and the commercial leaning of the two albums preceding that, and was able to maintain an uneasy balance between hard and progressive rock. In Through the Out Door maintains this balance with less difficulty while still
evening proved a successful financial endeavour for the Feds (they didn’t lose any money), a good time for the beaut‘iful boozers in attendance, and as far as David Wilcox, well, let me (do you have any choice) quote a line from one of his songs, “A little chunk of you goes a long, long way.” Better things wait in store with Michael Quatro. M. Drew Cook
exploring several different styles from bluegrass (“Hot Dog”) to straight blues (“I’m Gonna Crawl”). Presence also saw the emergence of Robert Plant as a reasonably competent lyricist on songs such as “Achilles’ Last Stand” and “Hots on for Nowhere” and In Through the Out Door takes that trend one step further with songs such as “Fool in the Rain” and “All My Love”.
no! Everybody had a great time. The Ball Room was packed. The dance floor was in
continual use. Beer consumption was high, as was much of the audience and, well, there were even times when people actually looked up and took notice of Mr. / Entertainer himself. There was one song (so as not to be confused with Rex Reed), “Hot, Hot Papa” (as far as I can tell, a Wilcox original), that .really rocked the house down. Honestly, it was a tightly-spun, ace-hard rocker with trip-hammer guitar riffs that would have sent the Page himself into tantrums of infantile envy, well almost. The high point of the evening proved to be a Stratocaster banjo impersonation that sent every bluegrass spooner in the room into convulsions of orgasmic delight. One the whole, David Wilcox provided some good dancing tunes and even turned a few heads in appreciation,

“pure”
Th& remaining songs range from straight hard rock (“In the Evening”) to some very imaginative progressive material like “Carouselambra” and “South Bound Saurez”. . The beauty of this album lies mainly in the successful unionof technical excellence and creative genius unlike any previous attempt. Jimmy Page’s guitar work reached its height on Presence and on In Through the Out .Door it seems just that much better.
Plant’s distinctive vocals and vitality seem none the worse for wear after the tragic car crash in Northern Africa last year and the resulting absence from performing. In fact, on songs such as “All My Love” (which was written about his son, who died in the accident) Plant sings with deeper conviction and more vivid emotion than he hasin recent memory. Even the remaining members of the band, John E3onham and John Paul Jones, though traditionally occupying a secondary position to Plant and Page, play a greater roie in both the production and performance of the album. In Through the Out Door can be simply described as a somewhat more precise version of Presence. Of course, there is much more to it than that, but for the indecisive and the uninformed this will have to do: if you like Presence, you will most likely enjoy In Through the Out Door; but if it really wasn’t your cup of tea, then chances are this won’t be either. Yet with Led Zeppelin, as with other firmlyestablished groups like The Stones and The Who, even if the material itself does not particularly strike your fancy, the pure talent involved is enough to justify the purchase.

The Dalart Trio, although only three years old, has already achieved a reputation a; Canada’s finest Piano Trio. Previous to its formation, each of its members was a highly acclaimed musician in his own right: William Tritt, the- pianist, was a national first prize winner in the CBC Talent Festival in 1971, and went on to establish an international career as a concert artist. More recently, the violinist, took top Philippe Djokic, honours in the same festival in 1977. William Valleau, the cellist, was principal cellist of the prestigious McGill Chamber Orchestra and the Cincinatti Chamber Orchestra, among -others. The three are now on the faculty of music vat Dalhousie University, but their performing career increasingly takes them all over the country and abroad. The Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber Music Society is proud to present the Dalart in a program which will include Haydn’s C Major Trio (No. Z), Mendelssohn’s C Minor Trio, No. 2 (Op. 66), and the Ives Trio. The Dalart’s performances of Haydn and Mendelssohn have received glowing reviews- from the critics, who are unanimous in their praise both of the trio’s exuberance, and ‘its ensemble - which is reputed to be really quite exceptional in the scherzo of the Mendelssohn. The Ives, by contrast, is a

The Arts Seduction
with/humour
The story of-how a good man can become corrupted in the upper echelons of the facist, racist, totalitarian false democracy of the United States is, I am sure, how some pundits would describe the story of The Seduction ofJoe Tynan. That would be over-simplification though, a stupid wouldn’t it? Rather, the film starring Alan Alda, Barbara Harris and Meryl Streep, is about how men and women who wield power and must make important decisions under pressure can become victims of their own confused priorities. _
-
Alan Alda’s Tynan is an up-and-coming New York senator who must try to keep his life in order while attempting to handle his responsibilities as a legislator and as a family man. He also has to deal with the political realities of “getting clout and keeping it.” It becomes difficult for him to keep his responsibilities in proper perspective in the environment ~of Washington where men refer to themselves in the third person and daily-make decisions that will affect millions. Tynan is also confronted with the orgiastic candystore setting of the Washington social scene. Public officials who are expected to produce studies, reports and legislation find that almost anything that they desire to consume is available to them. They can gorge themselves. Watch out for how devouring food and sex and devouring food and making political decisions become enrneshed in this film. While attending a political social gathering Tynan states, perhaps facetiously, that for dinner there is a chicken salad in the shape of the state of Louisiana. Senator Tynan becomes seduced by his power, a desire for more and by administrative advisors who convince him that he can reach the top and help him to work out the semi-ethical techniques that he will use to get there. He begins to censor his family, seemingly measuring comments they may make in the number of votes he could gain or lose as a
but l&is
result of them. He stops paying attention to his wife and his troubled daughter. Rather than choosing issues that he is truly concerned about to discuss with the press, he chooses issues that will give him the best political and popular mileage. Tynan composes short speeches and form letters that are encoded on a computer that can fill in the appropriate blanks on the form. His signatures are written by a machine. Tynan begins to become a machine politician. His extra-marital sexual affair is not the only seduction in the film. It is born partly out of true affection and partly out of his simply beginning to lose track of the possible consequences oi, his actions. The conflicts involved in Tynan’s political, domestic and sexual life are the meat of the film. These conflicts come to a head when he decides to run for leadership of the Democratic party. Alan Alda’s script for The Seducrion of ’ Joe Tynan is eloquently written and spiced with humour. Aida has avoided the obligatory overly explicit love scenes of recent films in favour of some humourous verbal bedroom communication. He avoids

By now most of the new shows have premiered and everyone has had a chance to judge the TV season. There are twenty new shows this fall. Some are good, some are so-so, and a few are downright awful! Last year, twenty-two new shows premiered in the fall. Only three (Taxi, Mork and Mindy, and Vegas) still survive. With any luck, more than that will make it this year. You may ask “why do they all fail?” The reason is The Neilsens,the official TV rating system. About 1100 families across the USA have a little device on their TV that records what show they are watching at any given moment. The more sets which are tuned to any particular show, the more popular the show supposedly is. Fine and dandy, except for two things. First, these 1100 or so families collectively number about 4000 people, and, if you really look closely at it, this means that 4000 people decide what 275 million people will watch. So- if these people all share one peculiar piece of bad taste and like a certain program, it will be a hit even though nobody else watches it. Second, they pick TV addicts for rating shows. The Neilsen people want the sets ON. (If a family watches only a few hours a week of TV, why bother using them for ratings? These people will watch anything, (just about) and will watch something that requires little thought, is visually appealing, and satisfies everybody. What it boils down to is that, for a large percentage of the shows anyway, the good shows (Kaz, Swords of Justice) get cancelled while shows of questionable quality (Charlie’s Angels, Happy Days) are on top. To sum it all up, I am not doing a column where I go on and on about the hits; I am pointing out shows that have quality.

Here are two of them: is on Monday at 8 on ABC. The title is the call-signal for a Los Angeles County Sherriff’s Rescue Squad. Remember Emergency? They stuck to cities. 240Robert does rescues out in the boonies, so to speak: the forest, the mountains, the beaches. John Bennett Perry and Mark Harmon star as (respectively) T.R. “Trap” Applegate and Rob Thibodeaux, “Thib.” They man the road vehicle, a large four-wheel drive. Joanna Cassidy is also there as Morgan Fairchild, the helicopter pilot. She and Trap had “something going” back at the police academy, and memories of this provide a good interplay between the two of them. The rescues in the show are the usual potpourri of minor disasters, but the scerery is great! It’s worth watching.

Buck Rogers is another show that may make it. Remember the movie from last spring? It was originally supposed to be a TV show, and this is it. Gil Gerard is in the title role; he was an astronaut in 1987 who, while on a mission somewhere in the solar system, gets frozen solid for about 500 years until he is picked up by a warship from the evil Draconian empire. The Draconians think he’s a spy from Earth. They interrogate him, get nothing, so they send him down to earth. Earth since then has changed somewhat. About the year 2000 it was nearly destroyed, but still, in 2491 a few pockets of civilization remain. Buck lands in one of them and is immediately arrested as a Draconian spy. He gets out of that, and the show picks up where the movie left off: twentieth-century man in a twenty-fifth century earth. The show can be seen Thursday at 8:OO pm on NBC. Next week: more reviews.

in tension
moralizing, telling his story ina straightforward manner. Oh yes - the script does contain some subtle and some not-so-subtle similarities between Joe Tynan and Edward Kennedy, but who cares? Director Jerry Schatzberg has done his job reasonably well. Canadian audiences may not appreciate the Americana that he has injected into the film. During the opening few shots one feels as though one is living in a Norman Rockwell painting. Schatzberg does avoid creating too many cliches like this one. What prevents Joe Tynan from becoming a better film is that not enough tension is communicated to the audience. One observes the deterioration of Tynan but somehow it misses making you really angry or depressed or disgusted. This is largely due to the laid-back acting style of Alan Alda, which seems to have rubbed off on Barbara Harris, who plays his wife. There is a difference between being comfortable in a role and relaxed in front of cameras, and looking like you’re on Valium. As a leading man, Alda lacks the quiet energy of a Jack Nicholson or a Robert DeNiro. ~

Alda and Harris should have borrowed some energy from Meryl Streep and Rip Torn. Streep gives the best performance in the film. As a political lawyer and as Tynan’s illicit lover, she is at once an effectual woman of action and a warm human being. Streep, along with Rip Torn, who plays an over-sexed “good old boy” senator, add a very welcome touch of vibrancy to the film. Although the film lacks the impact that one might expect after seeing the hyped-up advertising it was given, it is still worth seeing. Alda’s script and Schatzberg’s direction do a pretty good job of chronicling some of the good and bad aspects of political life and of those involved in it. They manage to present goodness without too much flag-waving and corruption without preaching. Comedy and dramatic plot are blended well. The Seduction of Joe Tynan is not a remake of Advise and Consent and neither is it an efisode of Hawkeye Pierce goes to Washington. I recommend it. The Seduction of Joe Tynan is now playing at the Odeon Hyland cinema in Kitchener. Dan Kay -

surprise, they did not change the title of the film. Even the casual observer will notice by now that I have been waiting for this film for quite a while. The desire for a new creation from the slightly-unbalanced minds of Messrs. Cleese, Chapman, Gilliam, Idle, Jones and Palin was only intensified by the nausea induced by the Terry Gilliam atrocity Jabberwocky, as was the fear that the Pythons might have lost their uncanny knack for making the mundane preposterous. The anticipation almost became intolerable when an on-location interview with the Pythons was shown on television two months ago. To put it another way, I was goin’ out of my bleedin’ tree waiting to see this film. Perhaps this waiting had some adverse effect on my first viewing of it. I don’t really know, but I do know that I was sadly disappointed. Not wishing to summarily condemn the film, I went back a second time. To my delight, the film seemed far better, though not as good as the other Python movies. There are hilarious scenes in the film. The title credits are classic Python, accompanied by a James Bond-style title song performed by Shirley Bassey in classic Goldfinger style that would have reduced the audience to tears if the projectionist had thought to turn up the volume to an audible level. The question “What do you do when the hero is falling to his death from a high tower and the movie’s only half over?” was answered as only the Pythons would think
of answering it, in the best sthrowaway routine of the whole film. The scenes in , which Brian becomes an unwilling messiah are also distinctively Python creations. Unfortunately, it takes an awful lot of good material to fill out a two-hour film, and the Pythons don’t seem to have quite enough. Perhaps the problem lies in the plot. There is one. That’s the problem. The TV show was always a compendium of sketches with perhaps some unlikely thread of continuity running through it. The first movie, And Now For Something Complete/y Different, was a collection of the best sketches from the first season. The second film, Monty Python and the Ho/y
Grail
(Monti
Python
ik den Ho/i Gralen),
had a plot, but a plot which was perfect for the Python style: a central quest to act as an unlikely thread of continuity (of course) for a series of short adventures. Life of Brian is different. There is a small number of central characters whose story is continuous, if unconventional. It is perhaps admirable that the Pythons have attempted to integrate the funny business into the plot. It is, however, disheartening to see that the plot got the better of them. At the worst times - and I shudder to think of them humour is actually dropped completely for the sake of advancing the plot. But at the \ best times the opposite happens, and you know that you’re back in Python territory. The film is currently playing down at the Cinema in Kitchener. Don’t hesitate to ask the projectionist to turn up the volume. . + Steve Hull.

Flannery O’Connor wrote short stories in a short life. Although gaining an increasing reputation as one of the great American writers, her works remain largely unknown due to her limited output and her predominantly Southern Catholic content. O’Connor did not believe any biographies would be written about her life because she spent most of it between her front porch and the chicken coop. Hardly glamourous. But fascinating. A friend, writer Sally Fitzgerald, has affectionately, yet astutely, collected O’Connor’s letters to friends and publishers and placed them in a thoroughly enjoyable and delightful collection .entitled A Habit of Being. O’Conner wrote excellent short stories, collected in Everything that Rises Must Converge and in her two novels Wise Blood and The Violent Bear it Away. Her output was small because of her great concern for perfection but more extensively, because of a debilitating disease known as lupus erythematopus which allowed her only a few short hours a day to write and confined her to her mother’s farm, Andalusia, in Milledgeville Georgia. The disease eventually claimed her life in 1964. She was 39. Although the lupus cut short the life of a very important American writer and limited her output, it is also responsible fur this biography. Limited to her mother’s farm with thirty peacocks (to whom she was devoted) Flannery wrote letters as easily and as often as we might phone our friends. Discussions which might have been lost are preserved intact in her letters. It is these extended conversational discussions which make this collection of letters fascinating. From them emerges an intensive study of -O’Connor’s character rather than a narrative of life crowded with incident. O’Connor drew her life’s ellipse around two focal points, her Catholicism and her Southernness, to which she clung tena-

ciously, fusing them together into an inseparable. unit. She believed that, “The Southern writer can outwrite anybody in the country because he has the Bible and a little history.” Her works, reflecting her sedentdry life, are suffused by this sense of place. Her Catholicism pervades her stories, especially in the themes of redemption and revelation, yet it is often lost on the
able to read theologians and to criticize them intelligently. To a ’ correspondent known to the reader only as “A,” O’Connor expounds and argues theology sensitively and thoughtfully. One must compliment editor Fitzgerald on the extensive range of letters she has selected. We are given a complete view of O’Connor, not a one-sided one. Theology is
Protestant or secular reader because her cultural symbols and metaphors are too different. Within her letters her strong faith and opinions are unmistakable. O’Connor was an articulate spokesman for her Catholicism, although she was vocal only in her stories. Hers was a thoughtful religion. Not only was she a Christian but she also was
discussed but she isnot limited to the topic. To different friends O’Connor wrote of different interests. For example, she writes affectionately and humourously to activist writer Maryat Lee. Others she teases, still others she chides and others she tells of her life on the farm. Only through reading the entire collection can one get a full grip on her character. Each friend brings out a different

facet of her personality. If for nothing else, read this book for amusement. O’Connor was a wit. She gives us an overriding impression of a love of life and the sheer fun of being. The world of the absurd, delighted her keen sense of observation. Once in hospital after surgery, she wrote a note about one of her nurses: “She told all- the time about what a good nurse she was. Her favourite grammatical construction was “it were.” She said she treated everybody alike whether it were a person with money or a black nigger...I seldom know in any given circumstances whether the Lord is giving me a reward or a punishment. She didn’t know she was funny and it was agony to laugh and I reckon she increased my pain about 100%. She delighted to send her friends samples of letters from men proposing to her after she had written a story entitled “A Good Man is Hard to Find. ” O’Connor was, in her words, an “innocent speller.” Editor Fitzgerald has fortunately seen fit to retain her spelling errors, adding great light-heartedness to the tone of the letters. O’Connor emerges as a witty, intelligent and observant woman, very little concerned with herself or with aggrandizing her achievements. Although very critical of her own works, she refused to let her correspondence be dominated by evaluation and praise of them. (As an encouragement to English students, it might be noted that she had little patience with professors who constantly imposed unintended symbolic meanings onto her works). Far from being preoccupied with her privative illness or with her genius, she could detachedly accept them and make light of both. Brilliance and modesty are an unbeatable combination. Celia

On a beautiful, cloudless autumn Sunday in Woodside Park, a hurricane arrived. Its name was the Laurentian Voyageurs, and when the debris had cleared, they had left the Waterloo Warriors at the short end of a 4-0 score. Only last week, in a tournament in Sudbury, the Warriors fought Laurentian to a O-O draw before losing by only 5-4 in a shootout. Winning coach Greg Zorbas thought that both teams had something to prove - Waterloo, that the game was not a fluke; Laurentian, that they were as good as their defendingchampion status would indicate. Striker Louis Nagy, voted outstanding player in the recent World Junior Championships, scored the fir3t goal - on a sloppy devensive play - when a free kick from about 25 yards out bounced to him in front of the net. Just five minutes earlier, they had had a goal nullified by an offside call. Throughout the game there were some questionable calls and non-calls by the referee. Both coaches seemed to have plenty of re’ason to squirm. Zorbas and his assistant were cautioned early on for roaming up and down the side-lines, while a number plays were of rough missed. Two yellow cards were handed out in the course of the game, both to the Voyageurs, and both for

seemingly innocuous actions. In the 25th minute, Winston Hackett hit for the second goal -off the post after a corner kick. Hackett played a strong game throughout the ninety minutes. Ivan Zanatta and Nagy rounded out the scoring, all in the first half. Zanattaput it in on another mix-up in the goal area, while Nagy hit a crossing shot with a perfect flying header past goalie Rod Flavell. Flafell was replaced by Gord Harri s in the second half, but the game was, by then, lost. Waterloo tightened up defensively but were still ineffective on the offence. Laurentian seems to have well-balanced the same attack that won the championship for them last year. They admit that competition will be fierce this year, and the Warriors will be their biggest opposition, owing to their strong performance in the Sudbury tournament. Warrior coach Ron Cooper admitted even before the game was over that he considered it lost and was looking towards tReir next game against Guelph. Wednesday night. “It’s a basic game -get to the ball first, pass it first, shoot it and score. But when they score four in the first half..,” commented Cooper. He also believed that his team iust “wasn’t up for this one.” Mark D’Gabriel

This week, most of the intramural activities got underway. Nearly all of the programs show a great increase iii registration. Some teams were even turned away because of space limitations. With greater numbers, there is also an increased demand for officials. The IM department provides training and clinics for their officials, and experts are brought in from the community to. help with the training. There is still room for officials in flag football and basketball. The standards of the officials are increasing every year. A resource library in the IM office is available to all officials for the clarification of rules and their interpretation. According to, many sources, the IM department should have top level officials within three years. They look good in all areas, and are dedicated to the spirit of intramurals. So as not to waste game time, one referee even went so far as to jump into Columbia Lake after an errant soccerr ball. Team entries for the competitive leagues have increased. The IM department is surprised that they were able to accommodate as many teams as they have. Leagues that started competition this .week include women’s and men’s flag football, soccer, basketball, bal hockey, and the Engineering floor hockey* In the soccer A league, defending champs St. Jerome’s, will face tough fights from some teams. Entries, in the B league have increased to 14 teams. Women’s flag football has increased to four divisions of four teams each. Some teams were turned away due to lack of field i space. Football and basketball have 46 and 37 teams respectively in their B leagues. This number of
teams is incredibly difficultg to schedule. The biggest problem facing the IM department is always space limitations. All facilities are being used to capacity. For broomball and hockey, there is never sufficient ice time for all teams who want to play. It has taken two years to arrange for one extra hour of gym time on Sunday nights for basketball. Co-ret volleyball saw one of the biggest turnouts ever for opening night last Thursday. Most courts played with nine a side, and everybody really enjoyed themselves. Sunday night Innertube Waterpolo was also very successful. It’s a very wet and exhausting, but fun, game. Racquetball and advanced disco have been added as new instructional courses this term. Relatively new, dancefit enjoys much popularity. In its second year, the equestrian club is becoming very popular. Most of the senior memberrs have their own horses, and the club provides instruction for beginners. The Outer’s club has doubled its membership
over last year to 90. Members plan various trips throughout the year, and get discounts on outdoor equipment through the club. Skating is very popular, and is usually filled up. The club works with the professionals from the Rink-in-the-Park in Waterloo Park. Some of the hockey referrees take figure skating to improve their skills. Surprisingly this *year, the table tennis club is having problems getting members.‘ The gymnastics, fencing, curling, skiing, rugby, and sailing clubs include and are usually run by the varsity teams for that sport. They also provide instruction for beginners. Drop-in badminton is one of the most popular events. The 15 or 16 courts in the gym are always full. Individual activities are gaining in popularity too. -The pool is always full during recreational swims. More and more women are using the weight room. This could be due to a greater interest in fitness, and to a lot less hesitancy to go into the room,

Waterloo is in Tier 1 of a two tier system. Only the top two teams of Tier 1 go to the CIAU championships. Last year the Athenas were in third place. The top three teamsin the Ontario standings are guaranteed a position for the Ontario playoffs. The fourth team is decided in the Tier I & II playoffs. This gives _ the lower placed teams the opportunity to make the OWIAU’s, despite their position. The structure makes for a highly competitive league. All teams are going for the top two positions. Kemp doesn’t foresee any easy games. University of Guelph is the prime opposition this year.
