And there was darkness, and there was light; the flRh Imprint.

Liz Wood, surrounded by Dianne Ritza, John W. Bast, Sylvia Hannigan, Jacob Arseneault, Bernie Roehl, Lori Farnham, B. Rootham and Tom McAnulty, her fs@hful disciples, spread the word from up on high. (Mark D’Gabriel and Marg Sanderson tried to climb the mountain, but were cancelled due to lack of interest.

Perhaps next week...) Before them were spread the Seven Tribes of Mike, each adding its own flavour to the festival.

The Tribe of News, which counted Brigid Ilowe, Glenn St. Germain, Stu Dollar, Barb Wolfe, Gaye Currie, Kathy Hw and Fran Helpert among its members, contributed the base upon which the ritual sacrifices were to be held Arts, represented

by Jason Mitchell, Peter Soheffel, Coral Andrew& Michael Thomas, and M. Drew Cook, choreographed the dances which George VasFlidaq ’ Wilf Noordermeer, Murray McCormick, Sports Tribesmen, performed.

Photography, an offshoot of Arts and News, made certain that the apocalyptic events were recorded for posterity (much thanks to David Trahair, Ed Zurawski, Vincent Forbes). Paste up artists (who are noted for their insomnia) kept the skg from falling, or so Brian Dorion, Jane Harding and Mike Shupe would have us believe. The Tribe of Typesetters, Mike’s personal favourites, were well represented

by Libby Savage, Celio Geiger, Leslie Treseden, Lisa Tripp, Mary Mitchell, Nickie Banner and Judy, the Fir&Named One. Lonely Malcolm Murrqy represented a sorely depleted Tribe of Graphics (the war goes not well). And last, but not least, there but for the grace of Mike, go I, Ira Nay-man, a contributor to many fait&s, but alonely atheist idealist. Oh, well. Thanks Dumont, Crystal.

Editorial the right to live. The other 85% would not understand the concept of fundamental human right!

Nevertheless, in our culture, it is understood that you can deny any one any rights, but you can’t let someone actually starve to death. During the depression, when wandering souls implored the pantries of the less humble, there was always some amount of food forthcoming, regardless of the motivating emotions geherosity, pity, self-righteous scorn.

You can’t let someone starve to death, but one is, of course, free to starve. Life can go on despite the poorest of diets.

One’has to give up such business as health, intelligence, and longevity, but life crawls forward.

It is through the use of moral gymnastics that we are able to draw our lines at one place rather than another; that we are able to become alarmed when, through some disaster, a people is without any food at all; that we are complacent when, through some divinely-ordered situation, people are left to struggle through malnutrition, their children vulnerable to disease and mental retardation.

The line that is drawn between malnourishment and nourishment is, of course, an economic one. One has enough money to buy sufficient food, or one doesn’t, one has enough land

I’ve been told recently that there are some 7,000 meals a day served in the Village, 49,000 meals per week, some ridiculous number served every year.

To what end, one might rudely inquire?

Food of course, is at least, a biological necessity, and beyond that, it is a source of controversy.

The controversy includes arguments, pro and con, about the quality of food, the effects of food additives upon the human body, the way food is grown, the way food is cooked, the way it is sold, distributed, the way it is packaged.

Food is used as a weapon by the countries of wealth to manipulate the countries df starvation; it is used (as in the case of the Can-Am Auto Pact) to trade for industrial favours; it is used to improve one’s balance of payments, to justify one’s railway system; it is used to improve one’s health, to justify the employment of thousands of civil servants, to use up to 20% of our income, and to break one’s diet. Oh yes, it is also used to make money.

Whiie food may be many things to many people it is at least one thing to everyone - food, the stuff of which we are made, the stuff to which, in its absence we will return.

If everyone in the world were asked, if there were one fundamental human right, what would it be, 15% of the population would say the right to eat, You

(capital) to grow sufficient food or one doesn’t.

It is estimated that some 15% of the population of this country is malnourished. Some of them are native peoples living in remote regions - the people of the deer, of Northern Alberta, of small reserves everywhere - some are the poor of urban and rural areas, some are the middle class of ample but poorly selected diet. For most of the malnourished, the cause is economic.

But economics is politics, and politics is big business, (or vice versa) and all three are food. And it is here that the decision as to where to draw the line is made. The line is in flux however, as forces push it this way and that; the boards of directors and shareholders of the corporations pull it and hardly anyone manages to push it back. It is a setting for antagonists, farmers versus consumers, supermarket chains versus independents.

Someone once coined the slogan, food for people not profit.

(Someone else coined the phrase, eat the rich, but we’ll leave that for another breakfast.)

The thought behind this slogan was that people should not be the pawns in the fiscal chess game of agribusiness.

That they are, increasingly, is thanks, no doubt, to the emergence of the elite of the super-corporations, t,he multinationals whose quarterly reports decide the fate of

the starving in the third world, the size of the anchovy catch off the coast of Peru, the price of grapefruits in the local Zehr’s store, the number of people in this country who can afford proper nourishment.

The politics of such decisions are as subtle as cheap cologne. The bottom line is profit. Profit can be made at the cost of human life, at the expense of human misery. The frightening thing is that it all appears to be justified.

But it does hit home (it may not if you!re eating one of those 7,000 meals in the Village until you pay your residence fees).

We are the pampered, the affluent, the progeny of the middle classes, but we still pay grocery bills even if we don’t have to worry about starvation in Central America, or farmers forced off the land. We still must deal with pre-packaged carcinogens and subliminal invitations to destroy our bowel m.ovements. In short, we are part of the concerted campaign to get as much as possible out of our pockets in exchange for almost nothing.

We are caught up in the politics of food, caught in the midst of turbulent forces.

Some of the forces do not need describing; they are obvious.

Imprint’s centrespread feature this week draws attention to at least one of the antagonists involved -the Supermarkets.

We offer this and invite your further analysis. acsltP Arseneault

’ -*‘System

The Ontario Council oA University Affairs (OCIJA), a body appointed by the provincial government as an impartial advisory agency, last week released its report on Ontario’s universities’ financial status.

Titled “System on the Brink”, it outlines some frightening

possibilities for the near future of post-secondary education.

Chris McKillip, chairperson of the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) said after the report’s release, “For years we have been waiting for a frank and comprehensive assessment of the damage done

r

\

The Board of E?Gertainment [BENT) meeting of October 9 lasted longer than usual. The major item on the agenda was the decision concerning whether or not to give club status to the Maranatha Ministries group.

The Maranatha Ministries is a religious organization It which is “charismatic.” recognizes the Bible as being entirely the truth; The 700 Club and ZOO Hunt2ey St. are examples of charismatic television shows.

The issue on hand concerned whether there was sufficient interest in the group to warrant club status, and whether club status was actuallyneeded

by Maranatha.

There are several collegiate Maranatha groups in the world; Oxford University in England has one, as do several American colleges. There is already a Maranatha group of sorts at UW, .but whether club status is needed started an hour-long debate which led to discussion of ethics.

Being a charity group, Maranatha would not need funding by the Federation of Students, and it was stated by a Maranatha member present that they would cover any monetary losses instead of having the

Federation take care of it.

Club status would simply serve to have Maranatha recognized as a club.

Sue Rosenberg, chair‘person of BENT, said that -“it may set a dangerous precedent, giving club status to a religious group we know little about.”

This was stated at the end of a long discussion of this, when it was pointed out that the issue concerned whether club status was warranted.

When a motion was made to give club status to Maranatha, the four voting members abstained, and a second motion put the Maranatha question in the hands of the Student Council.

The Maranatha Ministries group, it was noted, is sponsoring the Dan Peek concert at the Humanities Theatre on October 14.

The only other ite.m on the agend.a was a discussion about the BENT boycott on using South Campus Hall for activities, due to high costs. BENT will meet with Bill Deeks of Administration Services in t’he near future to discuss the matter. Meanwhile, the boycott will continue.

He added, “We welcome the Council to the ranks of those who have been voicing this concern.”

According to the document, Ontario universities rank near the bottom in grant increasessmaller than anywhere but Manitoba.

In fact, the increase has been as little as half the rate of inflation.

Faculty salaries have not kept up either, and as many as 2,700 positions many as 2,700 positions may have to be cut by 1983, as well as some non-academic staff.

Library acquisitions havebeen cut to only 6QY0of their value in 1973. The Council also stated that “The prospect looms that in a very few years, the universities may have neither the people nor the tools to maintain an adequate research base. The gains of the past 25 years are slipping away.”

“The report makes it clear that no matter which way the universities turn, they will be unable to provide first-class education with a fourth-class budget”, McKillip warned.

The P.S. Ross report, released earlier this year, outlines three alternatives for the uni-

By centralizing tote room and laundry facilities in the Physical Activities Complex (PAC) and introducing a new “token” system non‘for student and student users, the Athletic Advisory Board has taken a step towards making PAC operations more efficient and hope to save money in the long run, says Carl Totzke, Director of Athletics. , The individual entrances to the male” and female changing rooms have been combined so now only one tote room needs to be manned. New laundry machines, which are computer controlled, have been installed and these are supervised from the one tote room. _ Renovation costs for the changes amounting to a. bout $20,000 will be recovered in two years from savings on personnel costs and improved efficiency.

While no tote room attendants have beenlayedoff to accomodate the changes. some attrition has occured - the Athletic Department hasn’t replaced the two attendents who retired recently.

Fees for faculty and staff to use the PAC facilities been raised to have $46/year (without lockers) or $60/year (with lockers).

Last year the fees were $20 respectively. and $30 Spouses and children of users are permitted to use the facilities from 1-4 pm on Sundays but must be accompanied by the fee paying user.

All eligible users of the PAC are given “tokens” -a small plastic disc the size of a silver dollar.

These tokens must be presented to the tote room’ attendent before using the facility and a to we1 and a “wrist band” is given out in exchange.

make up the difference. Thes first is to allow the universities to have “fee airtonomy”---the ability to raise tuition at will. This would lead to’ a “bargain basement” university system where quality education would not exist, it is felt. The second would entail universities charging more for different programs, (for

example, medical school). The third and most attractive alternative, would be to have tuition indexed according to increases in the cost of living-but only as long as ministry grants increase by a comparable amount.

The Council of Ontario Universities (COU), believes that the universities of Ontario do indeed stand on the brink of a decline which

threatens the existence of the entire university system.

COU meetings between university presidents and Premier Davis have so far proved unproductive since no rapid change is forthcoming.

A report on the COU’s recent meeting with the Premier will be up for discussion at the UW Senate meeting this Monday.

sit wanted to be sure that the service would not noticeably affect ridership on its own buses, and also wanted the bus stops only on campus.

This would ensure that only students would ride the shuttle.

On October 2, theuniversity had a meeting with KW Transit regarding the shuttle.

It was noted that although there was no effect on the ridership of K-W Transit buses, the shuttle had insufficient ridership to warrant an extension of the trial run.

Ridership averaged about 575 per week for the first three weeks of the service.

Tuesdays and Thursdays were more popular with riders than the other days; rainy days also showed an increase of ridership.

Still, according to Director of Administrative Services, Bill Deeks, the shuttle was losing money - up to $60 per day.

The trial run will end when October 19, and asked whether there will be another trial run, Decks said “probably not.” However, he added that there may be a three-week trial run in January. If this is the case, the fare will be higher, about 35~. Deeks said that the service is worth a second try, since in winter more people would take the shuttle.

The defecit caused by the service will be shared between UW and WLU. The shuttle runs from the WLU Library along Seagram Drive to UW, along

the west half of the Ring Road and on to the Bauer Warehouse.

On the return trip the shuttle goes past the Student Villages.

One complete trip takes one half hour.

The general student view of the service is good. There are students who use it to get from one university to the other, but a lot of students use is for other reasons. People take it from theUWcampustotheKingUniversity area, from campus to the Bauer Warehouse, or even from Needles Hall to the Villages.

One popular use of the shuttle is to get from the Bauer Warehouse to the main campus. Just north of the warehouse are the subdivisions of Sunnydale and Lakeshore Village, where a large number of UW students reside.

Taking the shuttle provides a more direct way into the campus (as opposed to a K-W Transit bus), and eliminates a long walk.

Joanne Kenzie, a third-year math student, dislikes the long walk along the back road past the Optometry building, especially in winter. “The cornfields are flat, and the wind blows straight over the fields,” she said. “It gets really cold at times.”

Jane Knibbs, a first year math student, agreed, and added that taking the city bus is “more expensive and takes longer.”

At the moment, the question of whether the shuttle will return is undecided.

Glenn St-Germain

575 Der week insufficient

The Intercampus shuttle will no longer be running, effective October 22. The shuttle, designed to provide a quick, economical means of getting from UW to Wilfred Laurier University (WLU) and back, was running on a trial basis until October 19. It is being cancelled due to insufficient ridership.

The service was planned last summer by the two universities and Kitchener-Waterloo Transit.

There are approximately 3,000 students who have courses at both universities; the shuttle service hoped to provide a reliable, inexpensive means to get from one to the other. campus Kitchener-Waterloo Tran-

efficiency the token is returned to the user upon receipt of the towel and wrist band.

This system saves time, says Totzke, since the tote room attendants no longer have to rifle through a large stack of I.D. cards but can return any token.

A lost token will cost the user $10.00.

The wrist bands must be worn at all times in thePAC and persons without one will be shown the door.

Even though attendants haven’t begun to physically throw ineligible users out, “that’s what’s supposed to happen if they refuse to leave,” Totzke declared. At present campus security is only “slightly involved” and the city police may also get into the act if there is a big problem, he added.

Figures aren’t available yet to determine if the new system has affected the number of non-students paying to use the PAC.

8f

Quite a few universities have similar schemes to crack down on ineligible users, Totzke explained.

Wilfred Laurier, for example, locks the doors to their gym and mans only one entrance, at which users must show the required identification to enter. But this isn’t very efficient since someone already inside can easily open another door an-d allow people to enter. In any case WLU doesn’t face the pressures of a large amount of users as UW does, he added.

He summed up the motivation behind the new system as “an accumulation of good sense, efficiency and financial savings.”

He assures students that while the wrist bands are “not sterile” they are about as hygenic as the towels given out and receive a similar hot water wash.

screamed from a third floor window, “Is the release and total pardon of all political prisoners now in American jails. We feel that this can best be accomplished by...”

Dean Olson looked across the parking lot at Jacob Maudlin, Lindstadt’s Chief of Police, with a what-inhell-is-he-talking-about look.

“Burt,” he said finally, ineffectually trying to remain dignified while talking through a bullhorn, “the Governor has no intentiqn of coming out here, so why don’t you cut out this silliness and tell me what you really want?”

Diehard stopped talking and dropped the blinds of the window.

A confused debate seemed to rage within for a moment, before Diehard’s pudgy features could once again be seen through the pane.

“Then we shall postpone that irequest,” Diehard continued.

“For another protest.

We do this in the spirit of fair play and...”

Olson sighed to himself as Diehard continued in his vain attempt at extricating himself from his demand.

“Bring Sam and’ Harold,” he told Maudlin.

“I’m afraid that we are going to need them.”

k By Monday, the situation had become cyitical: the students had completely taken over the administraJion offices.

Unrest had been brewing at Lindstadt College for more than a month, ever since the college administfation announced further fee hikes for the following term. A student referendum condemned the action as “unilateral, highly unnecessary and not very nice”.

Further aggravating the student opinion was the fact that the administration, as administrations will, totally ignored the student referendum.

This action more than any other, drew the battle lines.

On Friday afternoon, the battle was entered. Burt Diehard, President of the Student’s Action Committee, and a group of his feliow committee members and other sympathizers entered the building and hid-themselves aivay in its washrooms.

There they stayed until early Sunday morning, at which time they barricaded the outer doors, established a watch rotation and set up a list of demands which were shouted out to Dean Olson and many \ of Lindstadt’s finest the following afternoon.

“What we would like,” Diehard

Off Maudlin went.

“What we are firmly committed to,” Diehard was just getting around to saying, “is the establishment of an investigatory committee on Administration practices.”

“There are means whereby you could have affected this aim without resorting to this,” Olson pointed out.

“What do you think you have to gain by it?”

“I didn’t want the message to get lo‘st in bureaucratic red tape,” Diehard responded.

“I wanted the plight of students to be ‘realized by society.

Injustice is being done here, and...” As he rambled on about irresponsiblity, Maudlin came up alongside Olson and told him that the two men he wanted had arrived.

Olson smiled under his moustache.

“You sound to me like a radical,” he said, cutting Diehard off in midoration.

“Damn- right!”

Diehard replied.

“You believe that we should totally change the fabric of modern society,” Olson asked, “which is, on many core issues, basically corrupt and unchangeable?”

“Uhh,- yeah.”

Diehard said, much less sure of himself.

“Aren’t you aware that that sort, of thing died out with the ‘60’s?” the Dean asked, adding: “You’re ten years behind the times.”

“Just like everything else i?

Lindstadt!”

Diehard shouted.

Now, what he said was perfectly true, but it wasn’t designed to win Burt any friends in Lindstadt.

In fact, it only served to firm the resolve of Dean Olson (who immediately stopped smiling) to the course of action which he had decided to take.

“I’ve asked a couple of my friends to come and have a talk with you,” the Dean said, and, illiciting no response from above, continued: “They were about your age in the ‘60’s. They have a lot to say about ‘radicals’.”

Seeing that Diehard had no, intention of responding, Dean Olson motioned to the men and Sam stepped towards him. With difficulty, the man, who shook very badly, took the speaker and began talking into it.

“Yeah,” he said, “I’m Sam and I was a hippie in the ‘60’s. The proudest day of my life was finding out that I had made Richard Nixon’s enemies list. As soon as I heard that, I went out and got stoned. It felt good.

“Then something happened.

Feds started hassling my parents, you know. And my girlfriend.

Currie and Wolfe here. If you happened to miss our introductory column, CHEW, we ask you to follow our weekly investigation into the UW co-op system.

This week CHEW was exposed to an after-hours view of one facet of the coop administration.

It seems that some faculty members share scepticism regarding the ability of some coordinators, though given their positions they are less vocal than students.

This came to light at a recent arts co-op cocktail soiree where students, faculty, and co-op administration gathered.

One professor revealed a questionable co-op related incident involving a co-ordinator.

CHEW went to investigate.

A subsequent interview with the professor in question proved conclusive; the evidence showed that CHEW’s suspicions were warranted.

The interviewee restricted his formal answers to harmless opinions and glossed over other matters.

not. I’ve just kind of drifted around these past few years...”

“What do you want?”

Diehard insisted.

“Well,” the man continued, not appearing to hurry his story any, “I’ve tempered my desire to become a member of the ‘establishment’with my belief that there would be others to continue the fight. I held out knowing that if I fell, others would take my place.”

His face clouded.

“But nobody has taken my place. I don’t hear about protests any more...It’s as if nobody cares, y’know...”

Dean Olson took the bullhorn from him. “Your generation is complacent,” he told Diehard.

“You- ,play-act at having a social conscience, but you wouldn’t know a vitally important issue if I personally had a poster campaign to promote it!”

Before Diehard had a chance to respond, Harold stepped up and took the speaker.

“You probably wouldn’t know it to look at me,” he said, by way of apologizing for his suit and tie, “but I was a radical intellectual ten years ago. I used to attend rallies and protests and wrote all sorts of articles in our papers against ‘the establishment.’

I leaned far enough towards communism to believe that the glorious revolution was about to take place. .It didn’t.

“And one day I found that I was going to have to leave university and enter the real world. I was told that I was going to have to get a job, for one thing. So, I did. I’m now a happily married C.A. with a wife and two kids...”

“You sold out!” Diehard screamed.

“I grew up,” Harold replied, a little self-consciously.

“The system has its faults, sure, but there are ways of correcting these faults without necessarily destroying what is good...”

“Protest,” Diehard gruffly insisted: “Yes,” the Dean responded, “protest, well-o_rganized and with a definite purpose, has a place in society.

You don’t appear to satisfy either qualification.”

No move could be detected at the window.

“Don’t you see that you’ve been condemned by your own peers,” Olson continued.

“Protests of this nature are simply not done any more. You are an anachronism, Burt .”

“Never!”

Burt Diehard shouted. His voice \didn’t hold as much conviction as he had intended, for he noticed that many of his most trusted people were leaving the building.

It was only a matter of minutes before the administration took back control of its building, the uprising having been totally routed.

When confronted’ with past disagreeable tactics of certain arts coordinators, we-received confirmation of this from the professor.

Unfortunatelyall criticisms tiere strictly off the record.

We question this “covering-of-ass approach”, seemingly characteristic of typical *bureaucrats.

Will the inquiring minds of UW coop students tolerate the closedmouthed approach reflected in the attitude of the spokesperson of at least one faculty member concerning problems within the system?

Surely all co-op students want an open and responsive administr’ation.

But we need your feedback.

Our match has been lighted but we have no dynam,ite.

We are confident that response from all levels within the co-operative system will provide reform.

Write CHEW, c/o Imprint, Campus Centre Room 140, University of Waterloo, or call us at 885-1660 Thursdays from 2:30 to 5:00 p.m.

waits e There was a “boat people sponsorship” meeting Tuesday evening at the Campus Centre in CC 135.

The group, which calls itself UniWat Sponsorship Group, was organized

by Lowe1 Aranoff, I<uluk Liu and Bradd Hart.

Although the members of the group are either UW staff, students or faculty, their group is not connected to the University of Waterloo in any other way.

According to UniWat, president Burt Matthews thinks that the issue is too political to directly involve the university.

UniWat already has raised over $10,000 in pledges from about 50 This will go sponsors. towards sponsoring two families of about six people each. Since the cost is about $2,500 to $3,000 per family, there should be a substantial surplus. they may use this to sponsor a third family or sponsor two larger families.

Although UniWat ap-

plied to Canada Immigration for sponsoring in mid-.August, the families have not yet arrived.

This is because the immigration department has received far more applications than anticipated-about $18,000 so far. Whereas the delay may have been four weeks half a year ago, it is now between three and four months, although private groups like Uni.Wat and churches get priority.

Thus UniWat’s two families may not arrive in Canada until December.

Still, critics of those who would help the boat people have pointed out that people who can pay huge ambunts to leave, and in gold, cannot really be so downtrodden.

Tim Little, Lifeline, from Operation replied that different people save money in different ways.

We do so with bank accounts, the Ind,o-Chinese with gold.

This money is often the life savings of these people.

e

They are not, he added, the very rich.

Those people escaped right after the fall of Saigon, in April 1975.

The refugees now, he added, are “as full a crosssection of society as that found in Canada.”

The group also had harsh words for the National Citizen’s Coalition’s full page advertisement which appeared in the Globe and Mail some time ago. the advertisement erroneously stated that every Vietnainese refugee could (and would) sponsor 15 additional refugees.

If true, Canada, would have the entire population of Southeast Asia within her borders before long.

Little added .that some people have always opposed immigration throughout history.

The issue of the boat people is nothing new in that respect.

He said such people are a “vociferous, misinformed minority.”

Waterloo, Oct. 2 - UW’s Board of Governors formally approved a constitution for the Waterloo Centre for Process Development (WCPD) in early October.

UW announced its intention to establish such a centre after being assured of $1 million of financial support over a five year period, from the federal government.

The centre is expected, in time, to be selfsupporting.

Major purpose of the WCPD is to provide pilot-scale testing for chemical engineering inventions; that is, to fill a gap between smallscale lab experiments which show that- such-and-such a process will work and a full-scale production facility.

The centre is interested in the inventions of researchers on the UW campus, on others campuses, in industry...wherever they may be found.

The new constitution sets up the WCPD as a largely autonomous body with its own board of direct-. .. . 1 . n ors. 'l'he directors include tour representatives of the universitv, two from government,(one of who”m must represent the federal government’s Department of Industry, Trade and Commerce) and four from business and industrv.

g-cutbacks “Betore the Boards of Education and External Relations (BEER) can be successful, they must have the co-operation and spirit of the student body and faculty,” Chairperson of Education Diana Clarke said at the BEER meeting on October 9. BEER needs the students to group together since education “is in danger” with increased -fees and decreasing quality.

Because of the imposing cutbacks which the University faces, as well as limited research money and lack of new equipment, University in the future years may provide an education for the financially able only.

BEER is.in part responsible for responding to the

political actions affecting the University (such as cutbacks and education matters.)

In actuality, BEER is often responsible for the fair treatment of students.

BEER has organized and will arrange many campaigns in the near future to help curb these cutbacks.

All these campaigns, such as the post-card campaign, Cutbacks Hurt Our Children (CHOC). rally in late October and the mass lobby in November will hopefully bring the problems into the public eye.

Counselling Services increased by 10 per cent in 1978/79 over the previous year, the new 1979/80 budget for Counselling Services has been cut by $40,000 - the equivalent of two fulltime counselling staff.

For students this will likely mean a further reduction in the services available and a probable “waiting list condition ,in intense months”, Jack Williams, Director of Counselling Services told Imprint.

Counselling Services was previously hit with a 30.5 per cent budget cut during 1974 - 76 and among those programs which recently received the axe were a skills training program for university staff and a counselling program for couples. The Study Skills program for students will continue to be offered, Williams assured.

Thirty-five to fifty of studen-ts who use Counselling Service8 seek vocational and career guidance while the other 50 per cent want counselling for personal concerns “one of the concerns is finances,” said Williams.

Many international students go to the International Student Office (ISO) with this problem. not been spared, _ The IS0-- has _ however.

wage dispute x~ /

Students The issue of retroactive pay for last sGmmer’s paint crews (temporary staff] in Students’ Villages 1 and 2 seems far from dead. It appears that a new twist in the case may take place * late this week or early next.

The matter came about when CUPE local 793 ratified their bargaining, agreement, valid for two yea.rs, on Septemper 10.

Since the workers had been without a contract since July 1: it was agreed that retroactive pay would be given back to that date.

However, in a supplemental memorandum attached to the contract, it was stated that such pay would only be received by “those employed at the time of ratification”.

It is this memo which has caused the controversy.

According to paint crew spokesman Larry Smylie, this memo is not in accordance with regular practice and the Administration’s rationale that the temporary workers would be “too difficult to locate” is ridiculous.

The memo also doesn’t apply, says Smylie, - since it was ratified by neither local 793 or the Board of Governors, and therefore is not valid, . Director of personnel E. Lucy noted that the sup. plementary memo is entirely standard procedure in such cases and that he intends “to follow the same procedure in #future years”.

He replied that Smylie’s

claims that crews in the last two contract years (1975, 1977) received retroactive pay are true because “they were employed when the contract was ratified then”.

However, the same case as this year occurred in 1973, and no such pay was offered to the crews, Lucy blamedthelatbdate of the ratification on two factors.

First, there were two other CUPE strikes in the area, and the university local was awaiting their outcomes; and secondly, that a conciliatpry did not appear until mid-August.

Both of these delays were legitimate, he felt.

It was also argued by Smylie that the union is obviously bargaining for the temporary employees as well as permanent staff, since 80 per cent of the value of union dues is deducted from the temporary staff’s payandsince they receive the same increase as negotiated when there is one. Lucy replied that, although temporary ‘staff are not covered by CUPE, he tries to be consistent with all his employees and that 80 per cent union dues clause is standard in many places in Ontario,. but he “would like to see the clause regarding studentspayinguniogdues taken out”.

Upon notificat#n of the situatioh, Federation President Mark McGuire was quick to respond.

founding a women’s political party. Since then, more meetings have been held to discuss the form which the party’s constitution will take.

“A political party, to exist in Canada, needs to have 2,000 signatures,” sayssmith, “and we are still working on collecting those.”

When asked whether they intend to sponsor a candidate in the next election, Smith said that although it was still too soon to know, they were not necessarily interested in running a candidate.

“The problem with backing candidates is that once they are elected, they have to adapt to the existing political structure in order to succeed, and this adaptationprevents them from dedicating themselves to feminist concerns,” said Smith.

“We’re not so much interested in fitting in with the existing structure,” said Aagar, “as we are in redefining politics.” For instance, he suggested, the way in which you live your life is more important thanthe“who did you vote for?” question.

pay tying the temporary staff to the protection of the union and would like to see it strengthened to a fully working, regular relationship. Af$er calling a quick meeting of the various society presidents last Friday, a resolution was passed unanimously stating: “Be it resolved that we (society presidents and McGuire) support the temporary employees in their efforts to recieve back pay retroactive to July 1, 1979 and furthermore, be it resolved that we recognize the importance of union membership for temporary employees.”

Neither Lucy nor University President B.C. Matthews had a comment on the resolution. .

CUPE local President John Kearsley, at a local executive meeting Tuesday night, had a resolution passed which also backed the students in their fight for the back pay due to the fact that they do pay the__ union fees. .The executive unanimously decided to allow the union lawyer to be used by Smylie’s group.

When asked about the possibility of a court battle to obtain money, Smylie replied that the students had given him a mandate to take ‘the issue “as far as is necessary”.

However, director Lucy stated that Smylie has no sound technical grounds - and he insists on arguing on a technical basis”. The issue has yet to be resolved.

“Up to now,” begins the paper The Feminist Party of Canada: Why Now, “the Women’s Movement in Canada, in its relation to government, has acted as a prod and irritant: by means of caucuses, coalitions, committees; writing briefs, making presentations, demonstratir,g, electing a few women all this in a context of male dominated and defined politics.”

What the Feminist Party of Canada (FPC) would like to do now, according to Debbie Smith, is to “redefine politics from a feminist perspective”.

“What we are-not interested in,” she adds “is becoming involved in a power struggle.”

“We are not out to ‘overthrow men’ or establish any hier*archy of the sexes,” said Smith.

The FPC’s Sam Aagar agreed. “we don’t want to exchange a male--dominated society for a female-dominated one,” he said, “‘but rather, we’d like to see egalitarianism.”

The party itself is still in its developmental stages. 7% original Hart House meeting, held on February 11, 1979, was called for the purpose of

According to Smith and Aagar, the FPC would like to provide a unifying force for varibus feminist groups. The Women Against Nuclear Technology was given as one example of a subgroup for which the FPC would like to provide a forum for discussion.

When asked whether the _group had had any problems with the use of the word “Feminist” in their party name from other feminist organizations, Smith replied that to her- knowledge they had not.

“Feminism, as used by the FPC, is used to describe a new view of human reality,” she said,“but it is not used to exclude men.”

“I am annoyed,” maintained Aagar, “with people who think feminism is only for women. “ “One can be a male feminist,” he said.

The commission, which is responsible for allotting provincial government funds to the three universities and .St. Boniface College and for approving new academic programs, previously had two university professors among its members.

James Skinner, a Brandon University history professor and Fred Tufford, a Portage La Prairie businessman, were the two commission members fired early. Their terms were to run until July, 1980.

Other appointments include that of the secretary to Brandon-Souris Conservative MP Walter Dinsdale, an industrial vicepresident, a land developer, a realtor and a lawyer.

The new appointments by the Sterling 1Lyon cabinet leave the board with a “decidedly, big business orientation.”

WINNIPEG - The Canadian Council of Education Ministers will push for greater input into the Canada Student Loans Program before decisions are made, Pat McGeer, council chairperson, said Sept. 25.

However, despite a lengthy brief outlining studentaidconcer& from the National Union of Students (NUS] and 30 telegrams from individual student associations, the council made no other mention of student aid in a summary of their Winnipeg conference.

McGeer did propose that a special subcommittee be established to consider national groups’ presentation for inclusion on the meeting agendas. In Ottawa NUS spokesperson LenTaylor said the proposal is afirst steptowards student representation to the cduncil but is not adequate by itself.

Rob Lauer, NUS representative at the Winnipeg press conference, said he was skeptical about the council’s claim that time constraints prevented the cpuncil from meeting with NUS. “We applied five weeks in advance for inclusion on this meeting’s agenda.

CALGARY - In the hopes of enticing a greater percentage of Alberta high school grads to university, University of Calgary president Norman Wagner has proposed the establishment of a provincially administered $10 million annual scholarship fund to minister of advanced education and manpower, Jim Horsman.

His proposal, made in Edmonton on September 26, would require an endowment of $100 million from the $5 billion heritage trust fund that would subsequently generate $10 million annually in interest for the actual scholarships.

Rather than importing a large portion of our skilled people, Wagner holds that the provinc act now to encourage more young blbertans to train for these positions, “Alberta is in the middle of a fantastic development period and is experiencing a great shortage of skilled manpower in all fields, including the humanities,” Wagner said.

“Situated in a wealthy_ - province as we are presents us with the opportunitv to take initiative in research and development projects.”

Wagner added, “We are succeeding in getting that message across to the government, hut we must convince young people that research is an attractive ambition hence the scholarship program.”

Nova Scotia - No Statistics on Student Emplqyment HALIFAX Government sources could not confirm if summer programs for students had been accelerated and the premier’s office admitted, there were no provincial government records being kept concerning student employment.

Nova Scotia premier John Buchanan had promised to “gear-up” student employment programs to over 3,000 students who marched on Province House to protest government funding cuts and increased tuition fees last March.

Karen Mann, spokesperson for the provincial department of development’s job creation program, the province’s largest employment program, said “We hired 3,000 people last summer but not all of them were students.”

No figures are available on the number of students hired and the ’ only breakdown was by age, she said.

Positions on Job Creation Projects ranged from $2.75 per hour for unskilled labour to $3.25 for skilled labour.

No one can give exact figures because the jobs just did not emerge, said Mike McNeil, Spokesperson for the Students Union of-Nova Scotia, (SUNS).

“The government let students down again,” he said. “‘There were nowhere near enough jobs.”

A spokesperson for the federal department of manpower and immigration said preliminary indications are, of the - approximately 23,000 students who re&stered with manpower last summer only about 11,000 found jobs. This was an increase of about 12 per cent, the spokesperson said, but Nova Scotia still has one of the worst student unemployment rates in the country.

Women35 Interest

ipUP stresses action

!

The newly formed Women’s Interest Group met last Wednesday in the world room of the Campus Centre to explore issues such as leadership, assertiveness and possible future directions of the group.

The organization grew out of small discussion groups which had met to talk about some of the common problems enccuntered on campus, with special emphasis on those of women.

At a recent Board of Entertainment (BENT) meeting, th-e Women’s Interest Group was given official recognition by the Federation of Students (‘see Imprint, September 28, 1979).

Diane Mark Smith expressed her pleasure at the growth in the numbers attending the meeting, especially since the grotip is as yet very new.

After a brief report on the activities ,of the Women’s Caucus at the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) conference, Smith asked for input from those who were present at the meeting.

“These meetings are for the people who attend,” she said, “and we need to know the kind of topics that members are interested in talking about.”

Much of the ensuing discussion concerned the way in which the group would be organized.

“The purpose of these meetings,” said ‘Smith, “is to give University of Waterloo women an opportunity to discuss their own perceptions of equal rights in education, as well as in social and legal matters, while taking into account that each women has her own &ewpoint”.

It was also noted that until the size of the group appeared to warrant a formal executive, an intermediate leader could be appointed.

A co-ordinator, rather than a president, seemed to be preferable, stated Smith.

Proposals for a seminar on thk issue of rape was followed enthusiastic discussion the concerning possibility of securing adequate lighting for the areas on campus in which sexual attacks have been known to occur.

The production of a women’s handbook, the obtaining of speakers on issues of interest to women, and the running of assertiveness and self- defence workshops were additional topics of concern proposed bj; the members.

A dinner meeting (“potluck-bring food”) is planned for 4:30 in the World Room of the Campus Centre on Wednesday of the upcoming week.

Science

Friday,

With a bang or a whimper?

Th

nd is Near!

Last week, w’e dealt with the birth and first few momen@ of the universe. While we have no way of avoiding it, some time in the future all this won’t be here. And neither will you. The prophet of doom is theorized as coming in any variety of forms.

Unfortunately, science has stayed away from this morbid subject for the most part, so we will have to use some of the more popular speculation among scientists (and science fiction writers).

In Arthur C. Clarke’s The Nine Billion Names of God, it is thought that Man’s sole purpose on earth is to deduce all the possible names for God. Once this is accomplished, with the aid of a supercomputer, the stars begin to wink out one by one. Such fanciful speculation is fine, but some writers use serious science as a basis for their particular brand of fiction.

In Larry Niven’s A World Out of Time, the entire universe is being suckedintoa tremendous black hole at the centre of the universe.

Weird as this seems, it just may be our possible demise.

Astronomers have identified an object they think is a black hole with a mass

The

equivalent to z million times the sun’s mass, in the centre of a galaxy in the Virgo cluster, some 60 million light years away.

There are al-so photographs of “exploding galaxies.”

Could this be the explanation for them?

Another possibility for explosions of this magnitude could be massive chain reactions.

Because of the small relative distance between stars in the core of a galaxy, two going supernova (the death explosion of a star) at the same time (roughly within a century of one another) could start a chain of similar explosions in more stable stars close by.

The effect would spread outward from the core, eventually through the galaxy.

By the way, this is not science-fiction.

Whole galaxies going up near one another could presumably have the same effect on that scale.

Two other possibilities for our demise have been derived from current scientific theory.

One has to do with the Big Bang theory (see Imprint-Sept.

28/79Science).

The theory, relies on the fact that we exist in a universe undergoing constant expansion, which will some day reach its limit.

Letters Letters appearing in Imprint will be published as soon after their arrival as space permits.

Letters will not be copyedited. Letters should be a maximum of 700 words.

Letters longer than 700 words will be edited in the event of the author’s absence, by the Imprint staff.

Letters should be addressed to Imprint, Room 140, Campus Centre, University of Waterloo.

They should be typed and must contain the phone number and address of the author. Letters may not be printed if the paper cannot verify authorship.

The Editor, The Sept. 28 editorial concerning the upcoming Battered Wives Fed. pub demonstrates the mentality which has destroyed the spirit and social life of fhis university.

The editor admits that the booking of this band would ensure a successful pub - both in terms of BENT making money and of attendance.

However, the. editor claims that the name of this band is not acceptable, and that they have a “regressive, narrow, and sadistic mentality.”

No proof is offered that this band promotes wife-beating; only the opinions of two women are presented.

It is not stated whether or not these women have seen or heard the band, nor whether the editor has any first-hand knowledge of them.

We contend that it is the editor of Imprint that is narrow-minded.

Anyone who has seen them perform knows that they are a typical new wave band. By virtue of their performances neither Idi Amin (although they 1 do they support sing ‘Doing the Uganda Stomp’) or Anarchy (a Sex Pistols tune).

It is more likely that the editor’s dislike for the Battered Wives stems from his/her narrow-minded opinion of ‘Punk Rock’.

Why was Teenage Head an acceptable band, when their name has connotations of ‘immoral’ sex acts between underage persons?

By the way, the Teenage Head concert was one of the most enjoyed cosponsored

by U of W in recent years.

If the choice of performers at U of W pubs is limited to middle-of-the-road bands who try ts pleme everybody, history will repeat itself. U of W pubs will one again become boring, poorlyattended, and will lose money.

We would urge BENT to remain openminded and continue to use their recently re-discovered intelligence.

Book bands that will draw students and make money.

Beg to Differ The Editor, I beg to differ with Imprint’s Sept. 21 review of the Bob Seg&ini pub.

I was one of the button-laden and suited-up punks at the pub and I, along with many friends with similar musical tastes, do not wish to be included in the ranks of those who enjoyed the show. The band was bored and boring. The music they played (Segarini’s, that is) is not terribly interesting to begin with’and the 200 (or were there more??) musicians on. stage only served to make the tunes sound like mud. The band was so dull that many people (including the group of ten or so that I was with) left after the first set.

Segarini cares little for the wishes of the audience as is shown by his reponse of “You’re worthless!” to a friend of mine who requested that he play something better.

On a more positive note, it is great to see some taste being shown by BENT in its selection of pub bands. Teenage Head and the Battered Wives are excellent choices and hopefully the response to these two bands will encourage the Federation to bring in other Toronto area new wave/ punk groups such as The Mods, The Vilestones, and Waterloo’s own well respected punks, The Bricks.

Perhaps, with a little effort, it would be possible to feature a group like The Jam or the Buzzcocks when they come toToronto.

We almost had Elvis last year - why not The Clash now???

End

The speculation on what happens at this point is diverse, one of the bestknown examples being described in James Blish’s The Triumph of Time. At the precise moment, matter and antimatter universes (not as much pure fiction as it was thought fifteen years ago) touch, to create an instant of chaos in which one universe becomes the other and vice versa and everything in both are simultaneously annihilated.

However, astrophysicists presently deduce no noticeable difference at the point of no motion. In an instant, everything will begin to reverse its course, and sail to the universal point where everything will begin again, with that tremendous explosion of genesis.

But this raises some disturbing questions.

For one thing, objects found to be as much as 13 billion light years away are receding at speeds approaching a quarter of the speed of light (300,000 kilometres or 186,000 miles per second) and are accelerating.

Just how is that great a velocity going to be checked and reversed?

And for that matter, even if it was reversed, what would happen?

Token Complaint The Editor, There are many ways to describe the new “effidient” token system currently being used at the Physical Activities Complex (PAC).

If you have not tried out our new system of access to the change rooms, it’s worth doing just to say you did and never will again. After one try it becomes painfully obvious that the person responsible for the system does not have to use it.

Controlled access is .a good idea, as it prevents unauthorized users from using th PAC. But why should the change rooms be as secure as the Pickering jnuclear plant?

I have two specific complaints.

One, why do we need a level of security which requires everyone to wear an identification band which is, at best, a nuisance?

Does not controlled single access to the change rooms provide a “reasonable” level of security for allowing the proper people free and easy use of these facilities?

Two, why are we being forced to carry ,yet another piece of identification?

At least if we must, let it be one which fits in with the rest of our cards. The current tokens are so small they are hard tofindin your wallet and easy to lose elsewhere.

Since students pay in part for the PAC powers to be salarie,s why can’t we be a voice of sanity and decide how much security we want?

While retaining the single access concept, I would personally suggest a simple show me your student card and burn the sweat band level of security.

One advantage of this level of security is its convenience for the users. We can obtain a towel if we wish and not have to lug around a towel and ID/sweatband we don’t want.

A second advantage is the cost of washing towels for every single person who enters the change rooms would undoubtably be reduced.

Finally, while he above two advantages, this solution would still retain a “reasonable” amount of security for a university physical activities complex, ensuring the majority of its users legitimately belong there.

he Suede Chews The Editor, While on the campus of the University of Waterloo during the Thanksgiving weekend, I happened to pick up what definitely appeared to be the Oktoberfest

e

1s Would you and I and everything else just reverse itself, so that history would repeat in reverse order? No one knows.

A very probable finale has to do with the thermodynamic theory of entropy.

Entropy deals with the eventual rundown condition of a system. Imagine all the energy in the universe (biological, mechanical, etc.) in the form of a waterfall.

When thelast bit of energy has gone over the falls, so that all of it is at the same level, nothing could happen. There has to be a difference in energy potentials for work to be created. Once all heat and energy is at the same potential level (“evenly distributed”) throughout the universe, no work or motion could take place.

This is appropriately termed the “Heat of the Universe”.

Such demises as described here are generally very long term affairs.

Even the end of the sun is at least 5 billion years away.

The most conservative estimate for the end of the universe is at least 40 billion years from now, so don’t go -off buying insurance against Heat Death.

edition of the Imprint.

I rummaged through its pages looking for interesting tidbits with which I could fashion the opinion that indeed the Imprint was a ‘*newspaper”.

Turning to a page, which first appeared innocent under the title of “Access”, I found a new opinion column of somewhat harder news value than to which I was accustomed.

I wish to congratulate both the Imprint and the author of “CHEW”for what appears to be a step forward in the development of a good campus newspaper.

To those who skipped over this as just “another man’s opinion”, I wish to draw your attention to this column for it is long in coming.

As a columnist for the Environmental Studies News, under the title “ED loo%“, I have often taken time to reflect on my experiences with Co-op Geography.

I have written about the frustrations of the program and have reeived response.

I have been, in a sense, “cruel to be kind” (as I feel any critic must).

Yet there must be something said for a less “cruel” approach.

I am warning those who think they can use the press to blow off steam without just cause.

Anyone who attacks while on weak ground, anyone who uses the press to feed the fires of ill-will, anyone who is guilty of “yellow journalism” will find that they not only hurt their “cause” but impair the abilities of the column when there are injustices to be righted.

Journalistic criticism is a two edged sword-and those who abuse it can expect to have their fingers cut.

I hope, on the other hand, that I havenot deterred those who have legitimate “beefs” from airing them. I just hope that they find time to discuss their problems with their co-ordinator before going to the press. He is essentially there to help you, despite any rumours to the contrary, and maybe what seems an injustice to you is just a misunderstanding caused by the all too human process of jumping to conclusions.

To those behind the concept of “CHEW”, I wish you success and hope that you are up to the task that is ahead. To thoseincoordination, I hope that you can accept the criticism in the spirit that it is offered, with the hope of making the system as humah and flexible as possible without imperilling its abilities to operate under the tough days ahead. Finally, to my coordinator, thank you for your help withal1 the problems ’ Fave encountered and the projects 1 have undertaken.

I wish you better days ahead.

Food system subverts J

Food is an issue that has drawn increasing attention of late. Newspapers and other media- forms are packed with stories on rising prices, declining nutritional quality, hunger and starvation in many areas of the world. Close examination of these issues reveal that the problems associated with food are not of a technical nature but relate directly to the structure and control of the food system.

It is a food system that, in the last few decades, has become radically transformed in a way that does not meet the needs of people. The production and distribution of food are increasingly being taken out of the hands of independent owners, family farms and home kitchens and becoming centralized into what are known as agribusiness companies. These are companies which are involved in some aspect of food production, and who pursue activities relating to food just as they would mineral extraction or auto manufacture.

In other words, food is being produced for profit not for people.

the problems associated with food are not of a technical nature but relate directly to the structure and control of the food system.

This is not to suggest that profit is bad.

However the goal of profit maximization ’ and the pursuit of strategies to increase profits have had a distorting effect on the way food is produced, distributed and consumed.

These distortions relate to consumers being overcharged and manipulated; they relate to farmers being forced off the land; they relate to the inability of third world people to feed themselves; they relate to workers losing their jobs; they relate to the deterioration in food quality and the adulteration of our food supply with chemicals whose long-term effects on the human organism may be disastrous.

In fact it is these distortions which constitute what is called the present food crisis.

The supermarket is a doorway into the world of agribusiness.

On the supermarket shelves are the products of agribusiness and behind their labels is the story of what has’ been, and is happening to our food system.

I would like now to examine stories.

some of these

promotion, cost reductions (not price reductions), automation and the search for cheap materials, government deals and so on. Consumers, rather than benefiting in an oligopoly market, end up footing the bill.

On the shelves of the supermarket there are approximately 10,000 items, 10,000 possible choices which can be made. The soup shelf should convince us however we don’t have much‘choice.

In the canned soup section Campbell’s controls 70% of the market while in the dried soup section Lipton controls 70%. Both of these companies are what are known as multiproduct conglomerates.

Lipton for instance is owned by Unilever, the world’s largest agribusiness firm with 800 companies in 75 In addition to Lipton sbup, countries.

Unilever products include Sunlight soap, Lifebuoy, Pepsodent, Imperial and a host of others including Shopsy’s and A & W driveins. Campbell’s on the other hand produces Swanson, Bounty, France-American, Pepperidge Farm and V-8 juice. It is possible therefore, for someone to do an entire week’s shopping, selecting products from all over Canada and the world and yet buy from only a few powerful agribusiness firms.

Canadian farmers, Mexican peasants sacrificed for multinational’s bottom line - profit.

Increasingly Canadians are faced with a declining self sufficiency in food production.

More and more of our food products are being imported even though we could be producing them here. Importing food is not good for the Canadian economy and it isn’t good for most countries that’ export it.

Canned vegetables are a good example. In Canada between 1961 - 1974, 90 fruit and vegetable plants closed down largely as a consequence of rising imports.

To import means having a place to import from. Often this means the third world.

Throughout -the sixties and seventies transnational agribusiness has been engaged in a massive expansion program in Latin America and other third world countries.

The expansion has caused severe problems in countries which now grow food we used to grow here. For instance not long ago the Bajio Valley in JMexico was used to grow food for the

These persons dressed like nurses are the sales staff of the companies who provide free samples to new mothers, hospitals ant community clinics in a successful attempt to

Mexican people. Now companies such as De1 Monte, Campbell’s and General Foods control the valley and have reshaped the agricultural base to growing sweet corn, asparagus and peas in place of grains and beans once. used to feed the Mexican people. The consequences number among them, loss of jobs and potential foodproducing land in Canada, as well as he loss of land for local Mexican farmers, and for many of the poor, starvation.

This campaign has resulted in increased sales and profits for the companies involved. It has also however, resulted in a significant increase in infant mortality and malnutrition, leading some African hospitals to diagnose children as suffering from Lactogen Syndrome, a condition of malnourish ment named after one of Nestle’s products.

Despite this consequence, the companies still spend millions of dollars each year in advertising and hospital giveaway packs.*

Recently the Health Protection Branch of the Federal Dept. of Health and Welfare undertook a survey of the sugar content of certain cereals. It found that cereals such as Apple Jacks, Sugar Pops, Boo Berry, Count Chocula and Frankenberry up to 54% sugar by weight. By comparison a Sara Lee chocolate cake is about 36% sugar. Asked by the Health Protection Branch to voluntarily include sugar concentrations on the packages the companies responded with an emphatic NO. The first responsibility of food manufacturers should be to produce wholesome food at reasonable prices. They have failed in this responsi, bility.

An economy based on consumption needs consumers and this economic truism has led baby food companies to move into third world countries.

In their search for

Millions of dollars are spent each year on advertising to convince us that supermarkets are fiercely competing with one another. At first glance this claim seems plausible. Last year there were over 22,000 supermarkets in Canada. These 22,000 supermarkets were organized into approximately 20 chains. This evidence would suggest that the food retail sector is competitive, yet a closer look reveals that of the 20 chains seven are controlled by the Weston Corporation.

In fact, in Ontario, four chains - Weston, Dominion, Steinbergs and A & P - control 86% of all supermarket outlets.

let them drink Coke.

During the 1960’s agribusiness companies changed our diets. For instance consumption of potato chips increased by 83% and the consumption of carbonated beverages increased by 70%. At the same c time consumption of milk, fresh fruits and vegetables declined drastically. One of the prime movers of these changes was CocaCola whose jingle I’d like to buy the world a , Coke can be interpreted as I’d like to sell the world a Coke. The promotion of non- ’ nutritious Coke and Fanta in Canada and‘. throughout the world only serves to exacerbate the problems of malnutrition.

Yet the above statistics reveal that in the retail sector (and there are similar statistics for other aspects of the food industry) the market is controlled by a few large and powerful corporations.

When, as in this case, a few firms control the market we have an oligopoly or shared monopoly. Companies, instead of competing with each other on the basis of quality and price, compete in less significant ways such as advertising and

ets can 20 years of research behind Pringles is an attempt to satisfy consumer demand. He was quoted as saying “With the existing product the housewife was getting 25% of the product crumbled or broken.

The packages were bulky and difficult to handle”. Fortune, a prominent business journal, quickly editorialized, “the development of Pringles is a classic case of recognizing a need in a consumer market,

“Most shoppers are definitely the underdogs in the supermarket money game”, reports Bill Oldfield, head of the UW Library Cataloguing Department.

The shopper is an amateur against highly paid professionals.

The professionals make all the rules and every game is played in their arena. The game is played without effective referees and the shopper plays without equipment.

Shoppers are like hockey players entering a weekly game without sticks or skates or knowledge of the rules. “‘Do you know that 50% of all supermarket purchases are impulse purchases?. . . that 60% of all shoppers do not make shopping lists, let alone stick to them? Or that it’s almost impossible to remember the prices on all but a few of the hundreds of products purchased over the weeks?”

“Supermarkets know it”, states Oldfield.

“In fact, supermarkets know a great deal more about us than we know about them.

And this costs us, because the score in this game is kept in dollars.”

“The first requirement”, to know the rules.”

The idea that consumers are worried about some broken chips in a bulky 4 ounce package, is stretching the limits of reasonable concern.

The real reason Pringles were developed was to satisfy corporate needs by overcoming some of the marketing problems of conventional potato chips. Since Pringles are stacked in solid containers, they can be shipped across the country, thereby allow-

says Oldfield, “is

Oldfield makes the point about supermarket competition.

“Oh, sure they’re competitive, in everything but price. Most stores make great efforts to match their shelf or regular prices with those of the competition.... to the point where they frequently send checkers into other stores, to ensure the prices are the same. Its important to see through the myths portrayed by the various supermarkets which they hope will develop customer loyalty. You know...The Price is Right, Everyday Low Prices, etc. It’s all image. In fact, a study was commissioned . by one supermarket chain of 4 others to compare the prices on 200 items. This chain’s own survey revealed that the largest difference in cost for all 200 items was 96e while the smallest was 2c. .. .lmagine, 96q over five fierce competitors.. . .you couldn’t get that much harmony from the Dionne quints.”

Supermarkets practice “balanced selling”. Simply stated it means where they give you 2(c here, they get you for a dollar somewhere else. To quote Edward Brand’s, Modern Supermarket Operations, the bible of supermarket merchandising: “The merchandising manager works with the buyers to obtain traffic-building specials for the stores and to plan related, as well as nonrelated, high margin items to promote in order to offset the loss of margin dollars on the price specials.

“Balanced selling is the process wherein the overall sales of a store are planned to obtain maximum profits.”

Supermarkets operate with the knowledge that the majority of shoppers remember prices on only a minimum number of the products they purchase over the weeks. The huge range of products, the variety of sizes, multiple offers (i.e. 3 for 79c versus 2 for 59q) and price juggling by the stores further confuse the pjcture in’ an attempt to make comparative shopping almost an impossibility.

During a period of inflation, supermarkets have an added advantage; people expect prices to rise.

ing Procter and Gamble to move in on local potato chip manufacturers.

They make national advertising of potato chips possible for the first time. In fact $5.4 million was spent advertising Pringles in 1973. They can sit on a shelf for at least a year without going stale and they question seriously who it is all being done for?

As we can see, the food system is increasingly controlled

by Transnational Agribusiness companies. Under their influence food production distribution and consumption have been radically transformed. If we are to solve food problems at home as well as relieve hunger abroad we must come face to face with the power of these agribusiness firms.

Edward Brand though, warns supermarket managers to be circumspect when juggling prices lest they be found out. If the price on B staple product, like milk, butter or bread goes up, we are prepared in advance, with banner headlines, “Wheat Prices Increase, Bread Prices to Follow”. If the price of a product goes down, we seldom see it reflected in prices and if it is it’s called a “special”.

“Specials are by far the supermarket’s most effective ‘come on’ to get shoppers into their particular stores”, says Oldfield.

Specials are traffic builders for the supermarkets.

Their primary purpose is to get you into their store. The specials must, therefore, be popular items regularly used by the majority of families.

Similarly, manufacturers must periodically raise the

profile of their products to maintain their share of the market. And the manufacturers pay for this privilege. “One year, a particular supermarket chain made more money selling shelving space and offering manufacturer’s promotions than they did in the sale of groceries.”

Since specials must be popular items and manufacturers must periodically raise the profile of their products, the result is that every 3 to 4 weeks almost all the products any family requires are available at “Best Buy” prices. This fact has been confirmed by research across the country. But specials are not always special. Forty cents off a product overpriced by a dollar is not a good deal. And in house specials are not always advertised.

Impulse is the shoppers worst enemy, of course and all supermarkets spare no effort or expense to exploit this fact. A modern supermarket carries in the neighbourhood of 8,000 items. Only the most disciplined shopper can trek down carefully designed aisles, past tables, and displays, to hunt out his or her choices from amongst the maze, and not succumb to impulse. Even if successful, junior has probably knuckled onto a pack of candy left carefully at knee level by the management.

“I can visualize the supermarket manager up late at night pondering the perfect spot to ambush the unaware shopper with a ‘Twinkies’ display thereby promoting one more impulse sale of a high margin item”, says Oldfield.

Bl*t, according to Oldfield, there are ways to avoid the common traps of the supermarket.

One, which has been developed by Oldfield, is called the Master Market Package.

Says Oldfield, “now shoppers can enter the game knowing the rules and fully equipped. The result is a 15 to 30% weekly reduction on an individual family’s grocery bills.

The Market Master Package also tells each shopper which chain store is best for them to shop in, any particular week.

Because of the excess of store outlets, costing us 4F out of every shopping dollar, there is no reason to patronize a single store week in week out. In some cases, it is even convenient to shop in more than one store in a single week. There are no local friendly stores, merely huge corporations attempting to project the image of a friendly local store.

“The feeling of impotence in the face of big business and big government can overwhelm the individual”, says Oldfield.

“The feeling is that nothing can be done; pay the price and carry on. But it’s not true! The individual can gain some control particularly in the area of groceries, which has been calculated as requiring 21% of the average family budget.”

BENWICKS

The Market Master package, at least makes the game fair by providing the rules and even more important the necessary equipment.

The package is available from Bill Oldfield for $8 plus tax at 168 Samuel St. in Kitchener. He hastens to add that if you’re not satisfied, return it in 30 days for a full refund.

The shopping package grew out of personal needs. “I underestimated the cost of an addition to my house by a mere 150%“, says Oldfield, “while my friend gave up the luxury of a salary to return to school. When we realized that even minimum savings could be translated into the equivalent of 65 free cases of beer a year, we thdught others might be interested.”

“The Market Master Pat kage”, says Oldfield, “is the result of extensive research into supermarket merchandising techniques.”

Most of the strategies used by supermarkets to record healthy profits are turned in favour of the shopper. The system has been tested in Victoria, B.C., Vancouver, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg, North Bay, Ottawa and Kitchener-Waterloo.

The result is a consistent 15 to 30% reduction in grocery costs: without bulk purchases, without no-name products, without co-op shopping, without collecting coupons, and definitely without altering the diet as to quantity or quality. The savings is achieved right at the checkout counter.

Market Master is based upori “Best Price Purchasing”.

Simply stated “If the price is NOT right, avoid buying it”. The package provides the necessary information in a convenient form, to help the shopper imak& the right purchasing decisions.

The Market Master package provides a shopping list and reference price information on all the products any famijy regularly pure hases. The list, flexibly geared to each family’s individual purchasing habits, means the shopping is done in the home without the subtle or not so subtle help of the supermarket.

But, even with lists, impulse purchasing is still a factor in any trip to the supermarket.

The shopper equipped with “best price” information on all the products, regularly purchased, knows when “the price is right”.

A “Best Price Purchasing Table” included in the package and conveniently located in the front of the binder allows the shopper to determine the percentage overpayment as compared to the “Best price” information on any impulse purchase. “Knowing you’re paying 40% more than you should and knowing that in a week or two it will be available at a “best price” is a strong incentive to resist any impulse”, says Oldfield.

exhibit

The first thing that strikes your eye when you enter the Arts Centre gallery is the explosion of colour from all directions. This month’s exhibit, a series of 120 drawings and 20 woodcuts by Polish children, touring Canada in honour of the International Year of the Child, draws viewers in with its brightness and enthusiasm.

Since the works on display were created

by Polish children ranging from ages three to sixteen, there is an evormous disparity in technical ability and in vision.

The young children’s paintings, some with enormous round heads overpowering tiny bodies, legs beginning on the outside of skirts, a grandstand that looks like a vertical gay sea, are full of “faults” but charming in their simplicity and their view - from a very different perspective - of the “adult” world.

Many of the children are remarkably talented for their age. A couple of

landscapes by young teenagers beat some of the works adult artists try to sell at huge prices.

Typically, the children are mainly interested in portraying themselves and their daily lives. Snowmen, village and farm scenes, folk dances in native costumes, doctors, animals, Marketplaces, sports and landscapes are popular themes.

Obviously the children were told the exhibit would tour Canada. Many of the pictures relate to our country - with some surprises.

Like some Americans, Polish children seem to believe that Canada is full of Indians. There are numerous pictures of , Indians, with and without feather headdresses.

One, by an 11 year old, simply entitled “Canada” shows a group of Indians dancing around in front of round, thatched houses and a arove of Dalm trees. There are also a

Last Thursday’s concert by the visiting Dalart Trio was an evening dominated by hymns and scherzi. The peculiar mix was not the result of any evangelical fervor on their part, though, but was due rather to a somewhat unusual program, which had as its high point the Trio (1904/1911) by Charles Ives.

Preceding the Ives, however, was the Haydn Trio no. 27 in C Major, with which the Dalart opened the program. It was at once clear that here was an exceptionally fine ensemble-in both senses. The trio played with a coordination no less remarkable for its balance than its precision, and with a strength and energy well suited to Papa Haydn’s own musical style.

All these interpretive virtues they brought to the Ives as well. It is a remarkable work, at once playful and didactic, musically convincing and yet oddly verbal. As a whole, the didactic, verbal elements predominateone gets the impression that for Ives, writing this Trio was less a case of finding a medium which afforded the requisite artistic release than an exercise in pushing the form, and music in general, to its most extreme limits.

And perhaps beyond. This is not so much a reflection on the piece’s atonal qualities-though for its time it was highly atonal. It is more a structtiral consideration, pertaining especially to the first movement.

Here we have two initially distinct duos: first one between the cello and piano, then one between violin and piano, and then both are played simultaneously.

Despite the highly competent perform’ance by the Dalart, one was left wondering where the trio of the Trio had got to. And I suggest that this may have been just what Ives intended.

The second movement, t.sicrj (an acronym for ‘this scherzo is a joke’) is compounded of a number of New England songs and hymn. tunes, and it certainly is funny. The string players were apparently busy enough that smiles had to be saved for the break

between movements, but pianist Tritt, whose fluid technique would seem to be equal to the most strenuous demands, was _ clearly enjoying himself throughout.

As were some members of the audience, though there again most saved their chuckles until the movement was over. But again one wonders: how many composers (other than Victor Borge and P.D.Q. Bach) write to make listeners laugh? Ives’ primary

communicative medium here seems to be ideas, and only incidentally music.

Which brings us to the third movement, with its Mahlerian harmonies and stunning “Rock of Ages” coda. Although easily the most “musical’‘-and moving-movement of the work, one still at times sees Ives smirking from behind the score. A musicological rather than a musical point is being . made.

.

The second half of the program was something of a let-down after the first. The Dalart’s highly-touted Mendelssohn (no. 2 in C Minor, Op. 66, whose last movement contains yet another hymn tune-“Old One Hundred,“Lmore or less) although as enthusiastic as we had bee0 led to expect, lacked the intensity and drive which the piece requires if it is really going to take off.

(Djokic, the violinist, used too little vibrato for one thing). This was especially true of the first and last movements, though even the scherzo suffered to some extent.

It was the first real indication that the Trio is still a very young one; its predominant qualities,-ensemble, strength of musical . conception, and balance-will undoubtedly take it far. But it has yet to acquire the subtlety, flexibility and range of expression which will make it a truly great trio. It is worth noting that, like another reviewer, I found myself comparing the Dalart to the famous Beaux Arts Trio, especially with regard to precision and strength-and although the younger trio d&es not quite measure up the the older, it says something that at this stage they fit naturally into that comparison class.

As an encore, the Trio played the scherzo from the first Mendelssohn Trio, Op. 49.

While certainly a crowd-pleaser, and clearly cpmpetently negotiated, it sounded in places as though it hadn’t been rehearsed much in the very recent past. Another indication that the ensemble still has some growing and settling in to do. But with glowing prospects.

Overall it was an exc!eptiolaally fine\ c oncert. The flaws were flaws which one wouldn’t notice in a trio ol lesser stature.

We look forward with interest to hearing from this Trio againsoon, and very definitely in the years to come.

after Time-

Every work of art begins with the word, the original idea in the mind of the original artist. Michelangelo, for instance, sees the bare Sistine Chapel, imagines what it would look like with a few dabs of paint and goes on to create a masterpiece. Beethoven, unable to get eight tiny notes out of his head, writes his fifth symphony.

The word behind the film Time After Time may not, at first, appear to be the basis of a successful film: H. G. Wells actually creates a time machine with which he travels to present-day San Francisco on the trail of the original Jack the Ripper.’ In fact, you might expect a film with such a premise to be quite childish (“Haven’t I seen this in a B movie somewhere before?“).

If you can suspend your disbelief, however, Time After Time will prove to be a most entertaining way to spend a couple of hours.

by Nicholas Meyer The screenplay, (whose major accomplishment to date is the novel cum movie The Seven-Per-Cent Solution), derives most of its humour from the clash between nineteenth and twentieth centuries. One of Wells’ first encounters in 1979 is with a band of chanting, bald, whiterobed members of the Hare Krishna sect.

The jokes, which remain fresh throughout, are not generally condescending.

Meyer treats the audience intelligently.

- The story contains much thought-

turns on the television set and switches channels from one scene of violence to another, including cartoons and professional sports.

What does this say about television?

What does this say about us? ’ The acting, considering the nature of the story, is remarkably good. Malcom McDowell as Wells effectively conveys the problems of a man thrown into a totally alien environment.

McDowell resists the temptation to overplay his part, coming up with an’ affecting, plausible performance.

David Warner as Jack is also noteworthy.

Jack is a civilized man who commits violent, uncivilized acts. This does not affect the quality of his reasoning (as witness his confrontation with Wells). Warner’s Ripper, for the most part, retains this veneer of respectability which, ultimately, makes him a much more menacing figure.

Mary Steenburgen, the other principle, is a bit too shrill. She tries to stay away from the stereotypical ‘liberated _woman’ with varied success throughout the film. Unfortunately the ending of the movie revolves around this character. When she decides to return with Wells to his time, one wonders what happened to all her ‘liberation’. The least satisfying part of the film is the ending.

Which is too bad, for Nicholas Meyer, who directed as well as wrote the screenplay, has a winning film to his credit.

It’s Moore at his zaniest as he scorches his feet while vacationing on Mexican sands, and is piggybacked to douse skin and chagrin via Bloody Marys while sandwiched between two morons at a waterly cocktail party... . ..And it’s Moore at his wittiest shooting the breeze at the friendly neighborhood bartender and guzzling double brandies galore, as Sam’s absence makes his heart grow fonder and the long-distance ‘piss off George’ via mother and son makes his brandy passion stronger.. .

George, of course, finds her breathtaking and through Blake Edwards camera-teasing slow-motion sequences wants to make love to her, a la From Here to Eternity...

Bo Derek is a visual goddess, not an actress, but Edwards through a tasteful, sophisticated script, gives Derek credibility.

Will this luscious hot number and the distinguished virtuoso make beautiful music together?

Blake Edwards’ wit was in the right direction using Henry Mancini and Dudley Moor-es musical genius plus Moore’s great comic talent combined with Julie Andrews sarcastic sweetness. So if you want laughs and wit galore, count on seeing 10. It’s worth finding the answer.

Jethro Tuli ” Stormwatch ’ My heart beats a little faster than usual.

The excitement builds up inside of me as my grubby little fingers tear-at the wrapping of this newly acquired package.

It wasn’t Christmas, heck, it wasn’t even December, but some wonderful person (me) .had decided to give Pete (me again) this present and I couldn’t wait to see (well, hear, actually) what was inside. Storrn’watch, the newest album by Jethro Tull, had been released the day before, and here.1 was with a copy of my very own.

“Big deal,” you say. “It’s only an album.”

Only an album! How dare you! That’s like saying that Humphrey Bogart is “only an actor” or that Walter Payton is “just a football player”. (If by this time you get the opinion that am a big Tull fan, you win a kewpie doll. not, go back and start reading over,again. II!thought I had better warn you of this situation before continuing). ., Stormwatch is instantly recognizable as a Tull album both visually and aurally. The face of Ian Anderson graces the front cover (for those of you not familiar with the visage of Mr. Anderson, the words “Jethro Tullr’ appear in the upper left hand corner), his gloved hands holding a pair of binoculars to his eyes. Reflected in the lenses of the binocs is the image of an off-shore oil rig. Ice clinging to his beard, Ian ‘gives the impression of an Arctic explorer. The back cover shows a giant polar bear walking over what appears to be a large oil refining ! complex.

“Stormwatch”-

Musically, this album is quite different from the two previous studio releases, Songs From the Wood and Heavy Horses.

These two were fairly mellow compared to some of the earlier work. Success has given Ian Anderson the luxury of being a gentleman farmer on his own country estate, and this accounts for the musical changes. In the early days, Ian did his writing on airplanes and in hotels, and the fury and energy of the fast life on the road was the inspiration for the best of ;Tull’s recorded work, from Benefit through to Passion Flay.

Stormwatch is in between these two sides of the musical character of Jethro Tull.

There is some stuff that could have been on Horses, but there are other songs reminiscient of Thick as a Brick or Passion Play.

This album contains its share of surprises.

John Glascock, who joined the band asbass player in-11976, plays on only three tracks, with Anderson performing the rest of the bass chores. Earlier this year, John had to have heart surgery, and needed to, take a long rest away from the music-biz. Ian’s bass playing is no threat to Chris Squire, but he makes up for that by establishing a very close musical union with the drummer and (Note: Tull’s new bass _ guitar player. guitarist, Dave Pegg, formerly with Fairport Convention, made his debut at their concert in Toronto last Friday). .

The rest of the band is the same as it has been for a number of years and they are as, good as ever. I’m sure that I am one of the few people in the world that believes that Martin Barre (guitar), Barriemore Barlow

(drums), John Evan (piano, organ), and David Palmer (synthesizers and orchestral arrangements) are as important to the group concept of Jethro Tull as Ian Anderson is. (But that doesn’t make me any less of a fan of Ian’s. It would be impossible to convince me that he is ‘not the most talented person involved in popular music. , But enough of my personal prejudices, and back to the matter at hand). ’/ There are two cuts on-the album that I really stand out, “Dark Ages” and “Flying Dutchman.”

Both cuts are fairly lengthy (9 and 8 minutes respectively) and they are full of Jethro Tull trademarks.

Quick changes of tempo and. instrumentation, slick guitar lines that bite at the s&me time, rolling percussion tracks (Barrie Barlow is one of the few musicians whose drum solos have held my interest for their entirety) and some of the best flute playing that Ian has done in a~ few years.

.

fipr

flute playing one would hear at a symphony , concert.

At their concert in T.O. last week, Jethro Tull presented this new material very well, and the band seemed to be having more fun than when I saw them last year. With New Wave getting most of the attention these /’ days, it sure is nice to see that some of the “Old Wavers” still have what it takes: lots of talent and the ability to make people happy with these talents. Jethro Tull is one such group, and they are going toabe tops in my books for a long, long time. **_, Peter Scheffel

This is not to say that the rest of the album is any less representative of the Tull sound.

In fact, it is a bit more so in some ways.

There k a song on Stormwatch that was not written by Ian Anderson!

The last studio / album to have that distinction was the very first one, This Was, and Ian is the only one ’ left in the group from that time. The song-in _ question is “Elegy”, an instrumental written

The Heartbreakers - Live At Max’s Kansas City I met Janet at the Teenage Head pub. ’ Janet is a pretty open-minded person, and seemed to like Teenage Head. Janet would .. not like the Heartbreakers, and neither will you, unless you don’t have both oars in the water. _ The Heartbreakers (no relation to ,Tom Petty) are led-by Johnny Thunders, whose career since the demise of the great but before-their-time New York Dolls has gone nowhere.

Since 1975, Thunders has released one solo album, (So.Alone) and one with the Heartbreakers, (Lamf) neither of which got any attention. Most of the songs on Live at Max’s ,Kansas City, recorded last fall at the infamous New York club/dive, are from those two albums. .

So much for history. Get to the point.

O.K., the point is that this record sucks more so than a Hoover upright vacuum cleaner, and with a lot less personality.

But let’s give credit where credit is due, because this record is useful for one reason - it’s a perfect representation of the worst bar band you’ve ever seen in your life. Every mistake you’ve ever seen a band make, all the reasons why you’d get up and leave during the first set, are on this record.

The ghost of the New York Dolls sound . floats in and out on this record - Thunders occasionally gets in a.few good licks - but the rest of the band can barely play or sing; the drummer starts the second side of the record by playing the wrong song, and-they have to stop and start over again. The vocals on their ,hatchet job of the contours: “Do You Love Me” are so off-key it makes you cringe.

The rest of the songs aren’t performed much better.. The amps hum loudly between songs, and there’s a considerableamount of feedback.

Twice there are complaints from a band member , that his monitor isn’t working, and -once someone shrieks an obscenity after getting ajshock from his microphone. ’ The audience’s participation on this record is wonderfully non-existent; aside from a few drunken screams and some insult trading with the band, there’s not much in the way of response.

Clapping is L heard very infrequently.

In true bar band style, the band plays an encore when it’s

obvious the audience would be quite happy if they would just go home. The album’s highlight - ironically, and unintentionally funny-one - occurs near the end of the second last number. Thunders says to the audience in a drunken New York slur, “Now, if everybody.. .everybody turns over all their tables...when all the tables are turned ober, we’ll play a few more songs.”

The audience responds with complete silence. When the band does start to play the audience replies by their encore, throwing beer glasses. Now that’s a live record! _ Despite all the criticisms of the record, I suggest you buy it for the following reasons: 1) Unless you happen to be the proud owner of Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music, you may have difficulty in deciding which album you own <is the worst, a situation which no doubt causes you considerable. anguish. By buying the Heartbreakers Live at Max’s Kansas City, there will be no doubt in your mind. And, because it’s a U.S. import and it’ll cost you eight or nine bucks, it may also qualify as biggest ripoff too, unless of course you own the soundtrack from Sgt. Peppers’ Lonely Hearts Club Band, in which case you’ve been shafted

worse, even if you won it on a phone-in radio O.K.,soI’vehadmyfun.Inallseriousness, contest. ’ this is a big ripoff, Live at Max’s Kansas City 2) If you happen to be into refinishing has thirteen tight, energetic rock’n’roll furniture, this will peel off paint a lot more J numbers that are ruined by a drunken, efficiently than anything else. If you’re doing . sloppy band that insists on introducing half a lot of furniture, this may also be more of them with the word “fuck”. All the songs, economical; enough polystrippa to do a and the between song raps (and insults) are small chest of drawers is $1.69, so-this will full of profanity, and while it’s amusing on easily pay for itself. Fumes don’t get ya first listening to hear all this on vinyl, the stoned either. novelty soon wears off, and the band is 3) Ya know that clown nextqoor who’s exposed for what it is - a mindless, -always playing the Blue’s Brothers, Styx, 1 talentless bunch of idiots. While a recent Billy Joel and all that other stuff you can’t letter to the editor stated that one of’punk’s stand? This record is guaranteed to quiet aims was to be offensive (quite true - a him down. Might even get him to move. couple of years ago) this record never rises fi Even if you like what he plays, this record up to the level of being offensive - it’s just will surely make you a winner when playing plain stupid.

Deller

- “Could you do an interview with FM?,” the prima donna handing out the weekly assignments growled. “Sure, why not? I go to University, I should be able to talk this guy into orbits of befuddlement, ‘cause we ’ all know that rock ‘n rollers have a collective IQ. lower than that of the produce at your local supermarket .$’ Martin Deller, percussionist and syn, thesizer master,for the band FM, made this interviewer feel more out of place than a narc at a NORML conference: First rule of thumb: never, under any Icircumstances, confuse the relationship of a rock musician with his agent. The agent works for ?he musician. The agent packs his bags at the, musician’s request, and the two are seen together only if they happen to be Siamese twins.

Second point: do .not, I repeat, do not TELL a rock musician he is signed under one recording label when in fact he is signed under another. This misinformation tends to &use the rock musician to heat up, to become thoroughly annoyed and to utter nasty remarks concerning your eligibility to the human race.

Deller is one of 3 members of FM, a band with a distinctly different approach to rock (at least in comparison with the majority of acts coming out of T.O.), an access which leaves them open to blatant, unjustifiable analogies to bands such as Genesis and the now defunct King Crimson.

The musical style of FM dwells somewhere in the world of rock with a universal message; The lyrics are the poetic creations of Cameron Hawkins, and his inspiration appears to come from feelings he harbours deep inside himself. If you’re into labels you might

classify FM’s music as “esoteric rock with a science fiction twist.”

The now and then denizens of the Toronto rock circuit, bands like Triumph, Streetheart and Goddo adhere to the fundamentals outlined by “go-for-thethroat” rock’n roll, while even the more , “personalized” bands like Webster, Zon and Rush steer only slightly astray from the well ‘travelled paths of “routine rock,” the kind of . music you can relate to because the story line or the driving guitar riffs send you into ecstacy, a state of rock ‘n roll sublimity.

FM, then, as Deller puts it, “is riding the crest of a different wave, a departure from the norm.” This music, somehow, appeals to the inner senses, or at least attempts to.

recent album, Black Noise), are all quite capable, according to Deller, of putting out solo albums and, indeed, if the material becomes available and the inspiration is impassioned, the artists will follow this path.

This seems somewhat contrary to the rock’n roll adage, “All for one, and one for all,” (bet you didn’t know that was a rock maxim), yet when you fully understand the idea that conflict keeps the band together, well, it somehow seems to make sense.

“Since strong people have strong ideas, conflict makes-us a good band,” says Deller.

FM might not be everyone’s brand of rock, but then again, everyone couldn’t fit into the humanities theatre.

M Drew Cook

The beauty of the compositions lies in their tonal relationships, their synchronous melodies, the- perfect timing and the abstract nature of the thoughts and images conjured up; in short, the songs are the offspring of three minds, three separate beings, each offering some part of himself so that, as Deller puts it, .“the band becomes bigger than any one of us.”

Golden An encouraging start turned into a discouraging finish as the Laurier Golden Hawks downed the Waterloo Warriors 32-6 in last Saturday’s football contest.

The Golden Hawks now sport a 5-0 record and deservedly are ranked number one in the country.

The Warriors are afflicted with a 1-4 record, and are, for all intents and purposes, eliminated from post-season action.

Waterloo kicker, Mike Karpow, struck first for the Warriors, putting the team ahead 3-offor the first and last time. After the first half, the score was 10-3 for Laurier; there was still hope.

Then the rain began to fall and so did the hopes for an upset. The Laurier offence glided through the

Before the contest, -Warrior coach Wally Delahey made severalobservations: “The game will be a real toughie. I still feel that if we play up to our capabilities and if we eliminate the glaring mistakes, that we can play with any team in The eliminathe league.” tion of glaring mistakes is a good idea, unfortunately it was not accomplished in this game.

The glaring mistakes, inexperience and injuries have all contributed to the team’s losing season. Rob was lost to theWarriors for the remainder of the season, having injured his knee in lastweek’s game against Guelph. Logan joins four other War-

strong team, York has three national team players, as well as the coach and assisstant coach from the national team. McCrae predicts that York will finish in first or second place in the OWIAU’s, which will carry them to the nationals.

York scored their three goals in the first 15 minutes

of the second half. Waterloo, usually very strong defensively, was unable to thwart the offensive moves of the York forwards.

team shows in early meet

On September 29, the first track and field meet of the season was held at Queen’s University.

It proved to be a fine day for the Waterloo squad,, who showed good overall depth and balance, including several sparkling individual performances.

The men’s team finished third with 118 points, beaten only by Queen’s (142) and Toronto (127). The women despite their small numbers, finished a respectable fourth among the seven teams present.

On the field, Larry Atkinson, who is currently on a work term in Toronto, threw well to finish first in the discus andsecondinthe shot put events.

Norman Myrie also captured a first in tKe triple jump.

Pole vaulters Jim Balesha (Jth), Stan Adamson and Kevin Negus put up a fine effort, despite the completelack of vaulting facilities here at Waterloo.

Other field athletes were Pat Moran in the javelin, Scott Amos and Lynn Robinson in the long jump, ‘and Sue Cohen, a discus thrower and fourth year Kinesiology student who doubles as the team’s trainer!

Many of the track competitors also came away with fine results.

Bruce Harris, who is also a co-op student working in Toronto, was

d uncontested as he won the 3000 meter steeplechase.

He then came back two hours later to place third in the 5000 meter run.In the women’s 3000 meter race, Sheela Khandkar ran well despite having shin splints, and placed second.

Lisa Amsden, helped by a summer training with the Timmins Porcupines Track Club, ran a fine 400 meter race to win in 58.4. Alison Ojala, a first year math student, was third in the same event, and then came back to finish fourth in the 200 meter dash. very Waterloo looks strong in the men’s sprints, where KW native Ed Neeland finished second, Nick Bolton third and sometimes long jumper Norm Myrie only half a step behind in the 100 meter sprint. In the 200, Neeland again captured second, with Bolton, Scott Amos and Barry Sales less than a second behind. In an exciting 4 x 100 meter relay, Neeland, Bolton, Myrie and Sales put together a speedy 43.8, beating their nearest competitor by over 15 meters.

In the middle distance events, Wilf Noordermeer ran personal bests in the 800 meter (1:59.9) and 1500 meter (4:12.3) to.. place respectably in both races.

Hamilton native Bill Brierley also competed in the

1500 and 5000 meter events.

There is gooddepthin the 400 meter distance this with Brian Burke, year, Dave Strachan, Dave Wylie and Barrie Sales all looking strong, while Burke and Tom Fitzgerald (a recent father!) ran smoothly in the 400 meter hurdles.

In the last event of the day, Strachan, Burke, Wylie and Bolton ran a courageous race to finish second in the men’s 4 x 400 meter relay.

Next week’s meet in Hamilton should be very exciting and competitive as all athletes vie for an opportunity to compete in the Ontario finals on October 20. Coach Les Roberts feels that this is one of the strongest teams Waterloo has had in several years.

The first game saw the team of Cathy Cowal, Celeste Neoh, Liz Bradley, Jeane Layton and Cathy Locke concen trate their efforts on stopping Nancy McCaIlum.

The 2A team keyed on Cathy Locke who was playing the centre slot.

Cathy seemed to block every shot that XJV aimed at her. Behind some superb spiking

by Cathy, ,Kin 2A jumped off to a surprising 4-0 lead.

After twenty minutes of some of the most outstanding volleyball seen in this gym in a long time, Sue Jewells, of Token XJV, guided her team from a lo14 deficit to a 16-14 win.

Those twenty minutes of play saw some unforgetable gymnastic and areobatic manoeuvres.

Sue combined with Jewells, Jane Gellaty and Leslie Jones on numerous occasions to produce some fine team work.

On the other side of the net q Liz Bradlehr.

Cathy Cowal and Jeanti Layton consistently (:iilllt’ up with some outstanding defensive saves.

Game two saw the lead change hands on numerous occasions, The Token XJV side saw Sue Jewe 1s take command early, making some diving, behind the back spikes.

But Kin 2A replied with Cathy Locke.

With Cathy blocking shot after shot, Celeste Neoh would combine with Liz and Jeane to consistently apply pressure on the XJV team.

The combination of Vicky Smith, Sue and Nancy saw Vicki connect on some fancy displays of ball handlings to tie the game at 10-10. But the younger KIN team, who were not to be bullied, bounced back to win the game 15-11.

This result leaves both teams tied for first place as the Reccers and Bax’s Bombers failed to make an appearance.

We extend our admiration to Lori Stephen who was willing to take on Fenns Playpen singlehanded in the name of Bax’s Bombers.

B league saw many defaults on Tuesday night. As a result the strong Conrad Grebel team finished first in division one and South Sea took top honours in division two.
