Is th; ‘world going fanatic?
The Editor, Reading your editorial of Friday, November 30,1979 I now feel more strongly that there is a genuine effort to misinform and stupify the students here through publication of Imprint to enhance human de_cadence. Your paragraphs are full with biased statements and sometimes arbitrary ones. Referring to your’claim that people all over the world condemned the Iranian takeover of embassy, your mistake or intention is to equate countries’ governments‘ and their people. The fact is that the majority of the countries in the world are ruled by puppet regimes which are mostly supported by the socalled “free” western governments with the U.S. government leading in front. In fact, contrary to your aforementioned claim, people in Pakistan, Turkey, Philipine, Thailand, Kuwait, Lebanon, Syria,_Iraq, Lybia, Bangladesh, India, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, the emirates in the Persian Gulf, and more countries supported %he Iranian cause by protesting against the U.S. imperialism in the streets in front of American embassies which represent the government of the U.S. which in turn is representing the interests of multinational corporations, but not the interests of the American people. Any responsible journalist must report incidents involving two or more parties from the viewpoint of all p-arties involved and leave the analysis to the reader. Your arbitrary reporting and #analysis would only indicate your bias and short-sightedness. The Iranian people have been struggling, fighting, and suffering for about a century to achieve independence and self-rule. In all the struggles, the progressive religious leaders played a significant role mobilizing and organizing the people. All the efforts of‘the Iranians have been ruled by the foreign imperialism and espionage activities except the last great revolution. Iran’s last struggle

before this revolution headed by National Front Leader Dr. Mohammad Mosaddegh ended up with nationalization of oil which was looted by British companies and the escape of the Shah. Mosaddegh was a moderate man with nationalistic ideas. He put his trust on the American government to support him. Instead the west boycotted buying Iran’s oil, and the CIA staged a coup with the help of the shah’s lackeys and CIA agents in Iran to overthrow Mosaddegh and install the shah back. This time the CIA and Israel’s secret police Mossad established and trained a.&ecret police named SAVA,K in Iran which for 25 years repressed intellectuals and tortured the best of the Iranian people. During this quarter of a century people were ‘even afraid of their own relatives and friends suspecting them of being a SAVAK agent. From 1953 to 1979, the ye’ar of glorious Iranian revolution, it is estimated that” 100,000 people were killed and hundreds of thousands were disabled. When you see the crowd in the street of Tehran furious and angry against the American Government, you should realize that the majority of them probably have had one of their relatives killed or injured. by the shaf who was strongly supported, by the American government. Moreover, the economy of Iran became a dependent economy on the west and the agriculture was ignored to be destroyed at the expense of so-called modernization. What kind of modernizationis this where the country&as around 70 percent of the population illiterate and yet the shah was spending over 50 percent of the national budget on military which, by the way, was being used to crush any national movement in the Persian Gulf and Africa against the American imperialism. Taking the so-called “American diplomats” as hostages in Iran by the students is a clear outcry of a nation who has been tricked and fooled by the imperialist actions not only the U.S. ones. This act is not an act of radicals but the act of the best of the students in Iran who have the support of an overwhelming majority of Iranians. The revolution in Iran is the greatest 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 60. 61.

revolution on earth in the sense that every class in Iran both supported the revolution and was active in bringing it about. There was no revolution in the world which had both of these features. I believe the revolution in Iran belongs to everyone in the world. We are all responsible to protect and support this revolution from any outside interference and foreign interests. We and generations after US can study the results of this revolution and human beings in general will learn more and know more about themselves upon the \ outcome of the revolution. There are going to be more revolutions and struggles in the world in our lifetime and newspapers like Imprint will repeatedly wonder why the world is going fanatic?

Iran takes the biscuit
L
The Editor, Imprint’s publication last week, presumably in full+f the lengthy and confused letter from Porviz Rahbasor “answering” your editorial of November 3rd on Iran really takes t,he biscuit. One almost feels that it should be unethical to give someone quite so much rope to hang themselves. One is tempted to ask just what the writer is doing studying in the western system he seems so distasteful of, and to question specific points raised in his letter. However, ultimately no matter what the rights or wrongs of the particular situation, one

Parasites unwanted
+ *_
The Editor, At the University of Waterloo, we have a problem. Our problem can’t be solved by an economist, a doctor; a minister, financial advisor or even a lawyer. The only type of person who could possibly help us is a trained parasitologist. Why? Because we have parasites, lots of them, clinging and hanging off of this campus like a leech to a swimmer’s leg. By and far away, the list is topped off by a group of ancient parasites - the Chevroids. ” Like most parasites, these ones wili’not leave their host until it dies or until the host knowingly takes steps to rid itself of them. Well the University of Waterloo will not die soon and so unless it does something fast it will be plagued continuously by the timeless, boring and useless antics of the parasitic C hevroids. Analogies aside, what the hell does the Chevron, Chevron club etc. (whatever) think it is? To the majority.(vast) it is a once a week joke, a chance to laugh at- the red ink and general waste of newsprint and t,ype. These people have been declared unwanted by an 82% majority of voters during a referendum on their status. They are now so totally into trying to ‘tunnel’ their way back into campus life through infiltration of the Federation of Students that they cannot see the further joke they are making of themselves. Do they really think that the candy coating name ‘Chevron Club’ hides the real truth that these people, despite their lovely club constitution etc., are none other than the same pack of AIA policy spouting timewasters that intend to have the unwanted ‘Chevron’ reinstated as the official student newspaper, collect a student levy and regain office space in CC140?

TA’s on
York, Ryerson TORONTO (CUP) - Officials at two Toronto postsecondary instit‘utions will have their hands full in the weeks to comeif certain parttime instructors and tutorial assistants see their proposed strike actions materialize, Members of York University’s Graduate Assistance bA?sociation (GAA), representing 750 York tutorial assistants, have voted to begin a walkout Monday. Januaby 21. Further negotiations scheduled for January 18, however, could lead to a last-minute settlement. University officials and the GAA are guarded in their optimism about Friday’s meeting. D.J. Mitchell, chief university negotiator, said of the upcoming meeting, “I hope ,we settle.” GAA chairperson Michael Michie remarked Tuesday that he is “sure that there will be movement?, but cautions, “We don’t expect things to be handed us on a platter.” According to the GAA, about 80% of the 200 ballots cast last weekend were in favour of strike action, but the voting turnout represents less than a third of the 750-member union, and it is unclear whether a strike vote will have the support of the entire GAA membership. If, at the Friday meeting, university representatives do not show“movement on all substantial issues” in the minds of the GAA executive, a walkout will begin January 21. It was decided at last Wednesday’s GAA meeting that a strike would continue for a week to be followed by a return to work for another week. If after the week of January 28 there is still no progress, then the GAA will start a walkout of indefinite length. Key issues separating the GAA and ‘k’ork Administration are job security, academic
freedom, maternity leave and wages. At Ryerson Polytechpical Institute, members oftheGraduate Assistance Association (GAA) who have been negotiating with the Institute during the last five months represents about 240 part-time and ses‘sional workers, who voted overwhelmingly to ta’ke strike action at the beginning of FebruaryiftheInstituteandthe Association can’t come to an agreement following four months of negotiation and one month in conciliation. GAA President Debby Littman said in a recent interview that, “Unless something significant happens we will strike.” Both the GAA and the Institute say they are willing to resume negotiations, but no meetings are planned. At present, sessional instructors are paid and hired on a 9 or4 and a half month contract with little guarantee that they will be rehired the following year. The GAA is asking for a 22.6% wage increase, giving theni 85% of an RFA salary, and a clear! seniority clause. Ryerson President Walter Pitman, during a recent interview, said that theGAA, which was certified at Ryerson two years ago, was designed so that instructors could be easily let go* “We realized a number of years ago that cutbacks would be inevitable because there would be fewer and fewer studentsentering the education system. We can no longer give assurances of jobs. It’s a rational response. We bring out people who supplement the system and are not permanent.
the GAA, according to YUFA Chairperson Al Stauffer. “‘In that sense,” declared St auffer, “we are giving them moral support.” But he indicated that sympathy strike is out of the question-since the union is not in a legal position to strike.

Stephenson
OTTAWA (CUP) -More than 600 angry Carleton University students got a chance to ask Colleges and Universities Miriister Bette Stephenson questions about the government’s tuitibn fee increase, in a “bearpit” meeting Tuesday. Stephenson stood her ground as student after student assailed provincial cutbacks of postsecondary education funding and a 7.5% tuition fee increase to be implemented in 1980-81. The increase, announced on December 31, will be complemented by an additional fee increase of up to 10% to be introduced at the discretion of the individual institutions. “How can you standin front of us and defend what you and the Conservative government have done to the funding of the universities?” asked one student, exasperated by Stephenson’s stonewalling of student questions. But Stephenson refused to get upset, despite the lengthy Reactions from the full tim_e staff of the two institutions has cheering and applause at the question, and restated her polibeen mixed. cies on education funding.

Right at the present time (post-secondary education funding) will not meet the level of inflation.” Anne McGrath, University of Ottawa student President, introduced herself in French, and then *continued, “Now I’m going to switch to English, because I know you don’t understand French. And I’m not very sure you understand English. “What you call ‘modifications’, I call ‘tuition fee increases’; what you call ‘accessibility’, I call ‘streaming’; and what you call ‘challenges’, I call ‘obstacles’,“she said, referring to phrases Stephenson had used in her answers to questions. The student audience erupted into several ‘minutes of applause when McGrath finished. Another student questioned Stephenson’s claims that the province could not afford to spend more on education and mentioned the large profits of the multi-national paper companies operatingin Ontario. “It seems to me a good idea to c& excessive profits of the corporations instead of cutting education funding,” he said: “It

Fines up to $1000 a day could be incurred by any RFA member who refuses to cross a picket line and $10,000 a day against the Association under the Labour Relations Act, according to Byram.
seems to me you and your governTent are too damn s&red of big business.” “I’m not damn scared of anybody,” Stephenson retorted in her only show of anger. Another student charged that giving the option of increasing fees to individual institutions was “nothing but a cheap and cynical political trick to blame high fees on the universities.” When Stephens& replied that the move was in answer to a request of the Ontario Council on University Affairs (OCUA), the student asked why the government only followed some OCUA recommendations (OCUA, the Ministry’s official advisor? body, had recommended an increase in university funding that would cover inflation this year, but the Ministry granted only’a 7.2% hike). The Ministry was also criticised for refusing to increase the weekly living allowance of students on the Ontario Student Assistance PFogram (OSAP). OCUA has recommended an increase to $80per week from the present $65. “How do you expect students to make ends meet?” one ques-
. tioner demanded. “I do hope we’re going to be doing something with it,” said Stephenson, adding that student aid. funds already being provided are “not inconsiderable”, to groans from the audience. A representative of the Carl& ton Engineering Students told the Minister that the Civil Engineering d6partment faces the loss of accreditation by the Professional Engineering Association because funding cuts have reduced facilities and increased the student-teacher ratio. He said the department was given only two years to rectify the situation. “Oh, really?” replied Stephenson, who then said the Engineers should take up their c6mplaints with the university administration, because it is their responsibility for directly funding the faculties. Carleton student President Kirk Falconer summed up the feelings of students after the meeting. “It’s a big crock. The provincial government has not demonstrated a real financial commitment to universities. The fact is that we do not need more ‘imagination’. We need more money.”

Every so often a columnist is tempted to step out from behind his facade of pseudo-intellectual wit and actually say what he feels on the issues of the day. This can be hard on the reader who has turned to’ his place expecting fun and . frivolity, but well, an era has just passed into history, and I feel the need to comment directly on it. It has been said that a man can be known by his enemies. If this is so, can it be any less true that a reporter can be known by the events which he covers? I think not. If such is the case, the 1970’s have brought us a great deal by which to measure ourselves. Pierre Trudeau, for instance, Canada’s own answer to the Brillo Pad. What kind of a decade would it have been without the “October Crisis” or “Wage and Price Controls” or even “Fuddle-duddle”?

Then, too, the American troike of Nixon, Ford and Carter were always good for a laugh or two (oops, story or two). Remember Watergate? Perhaps not, but many journalists were made because of it. And, of course, whenever things in Washington were kind of slow, good old Gerry would be there to bump his head on the door of an airplane or bean somebody with a golf ball. These were men! (Men? the walls echo back. I ignore it.) Politics, however, was only one area of creative reportage: who could forget the night Meat Loaf fell off ,a stage in Vancouver? Or, for that matter, his appearance in what some critics claim to be the best movie of the decade, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Talk about mobility: he got around faster than a Bat Out Of Hell!

I grant you, there were some more serious moments to the decade. We should have been able to tell way back in the first year of it, the opening chapter, as it were. That was when the Beatles broke up (neat trick: wonder if God could have done it). From then on, the flower children and their entire movement seemed to wilt, as if their source of nourishment had been forever taken away from them. But, think of the challenges! Think of all those moon landings or the adventure of Skylab or the Enterprise Space Shuttle. Man was taking those first stumbling step Where No Man Had Gone Before (oh, yes, Star Trek-The Motion Picture was also released). The mind boggles to think what science is going to come up with next (they say that within the next decade a practical cure to death by natural causes will be developed). There were some disappointments, of course: both John Wayne and Norman Rockwell died (at the rate the world is going, it is either going to have to grow some new proponents of Our Way Of Life or adopt a new way of life). The Arabs and the Israelis signed a peace treaty (no more junkets to the Middle East). The war in Vietnam ended for America, only to be resurrected in a series of films on the subject. The price of gold continued to go up, as did the price of oil; on the other hand, people still questioned the existence of God (if He isn’t dead, perhaps He has run out of energy). It was an exhilarating time to be alive, a time when our wildest dreamsbecame reality. I doubt that the 1980's will be anywhere near as interesting; but, then again, that’s what I said in 1969 about the '70's.

to Matthews
- Next move is up After long hours of work and research, the CCB budget sub-committee must sit back and await UW President Burt Matthews’reply to their recommendations regarding budget cuts. The - final draft of the letter to the which outlines President, how the proposed $5,000 cut in salaries would affect the operation of the Campus Centre, was submitted to the J Board at last Tuesday’s meeting. The letter to Dr. Matthews is lengthy but thorough. It points out exactly what effect salary cuts would have on CC services, and stresses the advantages of drawing from the Enrichment Fund (Games Room profits) instead to meet the -.. budget reductions. The letter provides an itemized account of what turnkey shifts would have to be deleted, what savings would result from these ~cuts, and the corresponding consequences. The first shift to be deleted would be during the second, third, and fourth week of August (assuming classes and exams are over at this time) reducing the salaries by a possible $1400. But the consequences are already r numerous: drastic reduction ‘of service and no time to fulfil1 duties such as security checks, Andy banking; no extra person to cover numerous housing inquiries; a lack of organization and preparation time for the oncoming school term. The other shifts to be cut first would be the holidays, including Christmas week, ’ reducing the salaries another $600. But the CCB stresses that ‘Ithis time of year can be expecially diffi-
cult for people who cannot go home” and that service during Christmas is “invaluable.” The results of the above cuts would generate an approximate saving of $2,000. “Beyond this,” states the board in the letter, “a major and severe reduction in service and/or closing the building would be necessary to accommodate a cut of $5,000." Because the turnkeys are also partially responsible for security in the building, the board is also concerned about potential vandalism if staff diminished. Security officer sill Rowe states in a letter to the president that they are “often alerted by turnkey,s” of potential,vandals, and that“some security will be lost” if shifts were cut. Summing the effects of cutting shifts, the board claims that “there are serious difficulties with each of the cuts presented, ones that would significantly affect service and the reputation of the Campus Centre, not to mention the university.” alterAs a “preferable native, and a sound and responsible course of action to follow” the board re<commends that- the budget cut be subsidized from the Games Room fund. Even though the prices in the Games Room are the lowest in Kitchener-Waterloo, the Board expects to earn a surplus of between $12~000 and $15,000 each year. This means’ that even after the deduction of $5,000 (last year’s budget cut) the.Board is still between $7,0b0 and $10,000 clear for this year’s budget cuts. , Judy Carter, member of
the swb-committee, calls the letter “a plain and clear plea to subsidize from the Games Room.” The Board’s unanimous decision to approve the letter, along with supporting letters from Bill Rowe, Sue Minas of Counselling Services, and pub manager Rita Schneider, indicate that the CCB has strong backing for their recommendations. Schneider made a particularly strong statement in herletter, which’drew loud consent from the BoarFmembers at themeeting: “The CC is practically the only area where the students can interact socially. Since this university is so deficient in this area compared to other universities, I cannot see why you would consider cutting back a service that is necessary to UW students.” Few items be-sides the budget were discussed at the meeting. Joyce Pickard was elected vice-chairman of the Board. Pickard’s first move was to have the position’s title changed to vice-chairperson, which passed easily. Yet another item of interest was a request for allotment of space in the Campus Centre for a proposed counselling service called PEERS (Peer Encounters in Essential Referral Services). This new group of non-professional 11 1-X“ counsellors nope TO proviue‘-Ilistening, attending and empathetic services and skills while generating support and a sense of belonging.” The ,CCB feels that such a service could be complementary to the counselling services at the turnkey desk, and will study the possibility of providing a room for PEERS.

demand to be reinstated ai the official student . newspaper at the University of Wateiloo, however, ,the Federation charter-holds no provision for the official paper, only an official paper. Well there is an official paper at the moment, democratically voted in, and if we are /to have another one it would have to be of a lot ’ higher quality than the Chevron is, a lot higher. A quick glance through the,Chevron and it is hard to believe that this so called newspaper is anything more than an organ for reporting what happened to poor little Larry Hannant at student council meetings, and an occasional story about some revolution in outer cuwumbaland. This papepis supposed to defend the basic interests of the students, but the only thing it defends is the basic interests of the Chevron club. In its last issue, out of 8 pages carrying news, (not including sports), the Chevroids only managed to tabulate 1% pages of news other than that concerning the Chevron’s recent bid for dlub status. Only 4 out
of 14 articles concerned other events and three of these dwelt on some type of revolution. This left one article that might have held some promise, but no, it turned out to be a completely unbiased but boring look at a 3% enrolment drop at UW. I ask you, is this a student newspaper? The so-called news either concerns one small group of communist sympathizers who .parasitize this camp;us or some tribe of cutthroats on the other side of the world. Also in the last issue all they did was spout off about antidemocrats when their obvious and admit&d political sympathies encompass any and every process other than democracy as we know it. Let’s toss these parasites and soon, they are a giant pain in the ass, dealing with their * repeated (and fruitless) efforts to reinstate themselves on campus costs us money. Throw them out on their little RED EARS!!! . * John Stevens Arts, Year 3

Acid rain: the invisible Excerpts from the Interim Report to the Ontario Legislature of the Standing Resources Development Committee which heard testimony from the Ontario Environment Ministry, Federal government scientists, Onfario university scien fists, public interest groups, and the International Nickel Company (INCO). The Committee-heard testimony in February 1979 and presented this Report in June of 1979.
What
is Acid
dain?
The root of the problem is atmospheric contamination by sulphur and nitrogenoxides, which combine with moisture in the air to form dilute sulphuric and nitric acids. Acidity is determined by hydrogen ion concentration. It is measured on-the pH scale which runs from 0 to 14. Solutions with a pH of 7 are neutral, those with a pH of less than 7 are acidic. Because it is-an inverse log scale, a one unit decrease in pH means a ten-fold increase in acidity. Slightly acidic normal precipitation has a pH of about 5.6. Very heavily acidified precipitation - a pH of 3.0 or less - is 400 times more acidic than normal precipitation. The mean pH of precipitation in the Muskoka-Haliburton region is between 3.95 and 4.38, although “events” with a pH as low as 2.97 have been measured. These figures are as bad as or worse than those for similar areas of Scandinavia and New England that are recognized to have suffered severe environmental damage due to acidic precipitation. The major source of sulphur dioxides are primary or secondary metal smelters and coalburning thermal-electric power stations.
s What
areas
are affected?
Precipitation acidity is probably highest in southern and south-central Ontario, where much of the precipitation comes from air masses that have passed over industrial 1sources of sulphur and nitrogen oxides in both the US and Ontario. Not all parts of Ontario are equally susceptible to environmental damage from acidic precipitation. Areas with limestone bedrock or deep soil and gravel overburden a are able to neutralize or buffer the acids falling on them. But much of central and northern Ontario lies on the Canadian Shield T an area with insoluble Precambrian bedrock and usually thin overburden that has little buffering capacity. (See Map.) Because of the long distance transport factor, there is no doubt that a considerable proportion and perhaps most of the precipitation acidity affecting Ontario is the product of ,emissions from northeastern United States. There is general agreement that some portion of the oxides emitted in Ontario are contributing to precipitation acidity outside the province. (See Box.)
y Sources Sulphur
consumption. ‘In general a pH decline to 5.5 endangers most species, usually because of reproductive failure. A decline to 4.5 will kill remaining or restocked adult fish, largely due to problems with calcium and sodium metabolisms. Lake trout are unable to reproduce successfully when water pH falls below 6.0 and the few eggs that do hatch release severely deformed young. Invertebrates and other organisms down the foodchain (cragfish, clams, snails, etc.) also die off. “The Swedish experience is that lakes look like they’ve got Astroturf on the bottom when you’ve finished.” Moreover, there is general agreement that a very serious threat to .Ontario’s soils and vegetation is present, particularly to commercial forests.
WPZRG - When did you first become Minister of theInuironment? Parrott - August 8,1978. WPZRG - When was it you realized the seriousness of the acid rain problem? Parrott - About October, November (197i). Acid’rain was a word to me basically before that, as it is to a lot of people who are even very vocal on it. ,But still you know it-is a very complex issue. It’s one that isn’t terribly well understood and people can be pretty vocal without knowing. I don’t mean to be cynical about that, it’s just there are very strong emotions on it, and 1understandthat;buttheproblemwithsomany issues in the environment is they are complex and emotional. I think I ‘thought what everybody else thought. We have an INCO problem, that’s where it all starts. That’s where it has for everybody. But you wind up realizir.2 that we have got an ACID RAIN problem. They are related but let me tell you they are not one and the same. I wish people understood the acid rain problem.
Solutions The Committee recommended two main solutions: J) abatement of pollutant emissions and 2) artificial maintenance of affected areas through remedial treatment, ai a short-term time-buying measure (for example, “liming” of some lakes to neutralize the acidity). Abatement technology was emphasized as the only long-term solution.; International cooperation was deemed vital. It was also suggested that a large international market existed for abatement technology and that.it would be a good growth industry for Canada to embark on, with environment and employment benefits. In summary the Report said: Ontario as a pre-eminent potential victim of acidification and as a leader in scientific expertise in the field, has a responsibility to exert as much pressure as possible and to demonstrate firm commitment to achieving and implementing an effective international abatement agreement.
“The last thing... this govern ment can afford right now is an INCO control order promised ...and not kept. It would destroy us completely. ‘? WPIRG - Why then was theJ?KOcontrollin~ order rescinded? Parrott - It’s hard for me to tell you why someone else did something at that stage oft he game. I think they realized that the 750 order was not possible and I don’t think many people believe that the 750 is technically possible today. Well, when I became Minister, we have

during spring snow melts and fall rains. Often shock loadings occur during fish spawning or hatching periods, preventing reproduction. 2) Rising heavy metal concentrations: Nickel, copper, zine, lead, aluminum and manganese concentrations in lakes subject to acidic precipitation are many times higher. Many .of these metal contaminants originate from industrial emissions and are brought by the same precipitation that brings acidity. These concentrations are often high enough to be toxic to fish. In cases where neither the acidity nor the heavy metal levels are toxic by themselves, the combination can be deadly. Surviving fish are frequently unfit for human

Those lakes with a good buffering capacity (ability to maintain a stable,pH by neutralizing hydrogen ions) are located where the limestone bedrock is present. Those lakes lying on the P&Cambrian Shield (which was scraped almost bare by glaciation) have little ability to buffer. Continued exposure to acidic precipitation in these watersheds gradually reduces buffering capacities until they are either *entirely depleted or insufficient to neutralize the acids as quickly as they are deposited. When the buffering capacities are lost, water acidity increases rapidly past the point beyond which most kinds of aquatic life are no’ longer able to survive. Ini a drainage basin, headwater lakes are most susceptible because their incoming waters have least exposure to buffering action by soils and sediments. They can become more acidic within a few years. Lakes in the middle of a susceptible watershed may last a decade and lakes lying on sizable deposits of glacial sediments can hold out for a long time. There are susceptible lakes subject to highly acidic precipitation in Sweden, Scotland, Norway, New York State, Nova Scotia, Maine and Ontario. In Sweden, where the precipitation is slightly less acidic than it is in southcentral Ontario, 10,000 of the country’s 90,000 lakes have already been lost to acidity. It is estimated that within 20 years 50,000 Swedish lakes will be acidic. In the Adirondack recreational region of New York State, half of the lakes above 600 metres elevation are now acidic and barren of fish. In Ontario 140 lakes, mostl,y in the Sudbury region, have been acidified. Ministry of Environment scientists estimate that a further 48,500 lakes “will not be able to tolerate for any extended period ‘of time continuing acid inputs.” The problem of lake acidity is complicated by two additional factors: 1) shock loadings: large quantities of acidified water flowing into lakes and causing temporary high acid levels during spring snow melts and fall rains often

The Minister has said in his interview that cleaning up only Ontario will not solve the acid rain problem. The figures above make that abundantly clear. The main problem is the fact that so many different areas in the US are involved. The committee recommended that an international conference be convened involving the Ontario and federal governments and the governments from all states affected, to study abatement technology and-other possible solutions. It also recommended that an international transboundary agreement on emission control be obtained. 3

beginning Taking into consideration the fact that, Hellfield is pretty much..an unknown quantity in this area (the band hasn’t played in K-W for about a year and a half) and-Friday’s weather wasn’t great, the Arts Student Union sponsored pub was fairly successful. ASU treasurer Drew Ken said he was pleased with the turnout - over 200 people over the course of the evening. Kent said the only thing that he found disappointing was that more Arts students didn’t attend, since the pub was specifically designed for them. The pubbudgeted to lose $l,OOO-was-put on as a gift for-Arts students since there was a considerable amount of money left over from last term’s budget. ASU members got in free. Segarini’s performance was only his second since coming back from a Christmas break, and he wasn’t in his best form. The band played three 45 minute sets,of good rock’n’roll; guitarist Michael St. Denis was particularly aggressive, and drummer Mark Bronsqn was impressive also, especially during his thundering introduction to “‘Demographics.” Segarini himself had no better than an average night. At times he appeared to be merely going through the motions of performing, and many of his movements, mannerisms and in-between song chats came across as pompous and overdone. Though some of it was genuinely funny, Segarini’s humour drew little response from the crowd. The fact that the dance floor didn’t get a big workout and that a group in one corner of the room spent half their evening building the Great Wall of China out of plastic cups were telling signs of the frontman’s performance. Despite whatever fault one
For live rock’n’roll fans’ in the UW community last week was a good one - pubs on two consecutive nights. Veteran Bob Segarini and band returned. for the second time this year and played to a packed house at Waterloo Motor Inn last Thursday night. ,Friday night saw Toronto’s up-and-coming Hellfield play to a reasonably large audience at South Campus Hall. Segarini was co-sponsored by the Federation and Conestoga College. BENT programmer Denise Donlon said that she expected the pub to make several hundred dollars, since turnout was fairly high.

might find with Segarini, the evening has to be considered a success. Hellfield’s performance showed both the band’s immense talents and its shortcomings. Much of their material seems to point out that they have limited themselves to a certain style-well executed, powerful mid-70’s rock’n’roll that’s very professional but not too memorable. On the other hand, a few of their songs-“Too Long,” “Caroline,” “The Night Music” and-“Tell Me Are You Listening” which are, not coincidentally, their singles-seem to embody everything that makes a cla&ic rock song: nice vocal harmonies, a simple but memorable melody pushed along by good riffs.. Mitch Hellfield, Singer he’s only inches taller than a fire hydrant, was a commanding figure onstage, and he performed with sincerity and an energy that was confined by only the size of the stage itself. His voice, the texture*of which lies somewhere between poured concrete and a rhinocerous’ ass, has an incredible range and strength. Rick Lamb on keyboards and guitar was also impressive because of his versatility. Mitch Hellfield calls his group a basic rock’n’roll band that’s out to have fun, and despite whatever new music may be in vogue, be it punk, power pop, country or reggae, there will
always be an audience for the type of music that Hellfield played last Friday. No; I wouldn’t predict stardom for this group, but since the current line-up has only been together for four months, they can only get better. Whether you happen to agree with Mitch Hellfield about what basic rock’n’roll is or not, you’ll have to admit that Hellfield is very good at what they do. If they happen to be at a bar in the area in the near future. be sure to check ‘em out. J&n Mitchell M. Drew

20/20 (Portrait) The Beat (Columbia) The Inmates - First Offence (Polydor) The Only Ones - Special View (Epic) The Headboys (RSO)
One of the most encouraging developments that has c6me about over the last three years as a resu1.t of-the punk/new wave/power pop movement is the number of bands that have gotten record contracts and..exposure that may not have done so, say, five‘years ago. An up and coming band has a better chance of being heard at this point in time than at any other in recent memory. Despite the fact that these five albums are getting some promotion and airplay, they’ll probably be a3 popular as a fart in an elevator, considering the public’s reluctance to pick up on anything new. Which is a shame, ‘cause most of this is pretty fine stuff. _ 20/20 is the most likely of this lot to succeed. Memorable name, tight, catch pop songs with lots of nice harmoniqs, strong guitar and sharp synthesizer jabs here and there for texture. A few songs lean a little too close to Klaatu, Cheap Trick or the Knack, but ‘most of.the album is distinctive and uniform, and there are no disruptive, hokey ballads. Classic line about being fried: “So come take 3 walk down shy street/With your head up by the phone lines.” Note of warning: Don’t play side one with your turntable out of sight, because there are some syhthesizer noises on a couple of songs that’11 make you swear a fieldmotise is having sex with your tonearm. Overall, a terrific pop record, both for what it delivers and for what it ’ promises for the future. . . \
Stones. Their debut album, iir-st Offence,‘is full of raw, rockin’ hand clappers. Backed by the horn section ffom Graham Parker’s Rumour, they stomp through eleven impressive songs, mixing originals with classic> like “The Walk”and “Dirty Water.” As good as th,is record sounds, they’d probably be just killers in a bar,‘and if they ever come ahywhere near here (like the El Mocambo) count me in, White’ R&B at its raunchy best. Special Vieiij is a collection of songs from the Only Ones first two albums pltis an early single. Singer Peter Perrett a’nd band play mid 60:ish pop songs; Perrett, especially on side one, sounds very much like the old Ray Davies of the Kinks, or, if that doesn’t mean anything to you, how about a pre-pubescent Al Stewart on downers? Your opinion of -Perrett’s voice will determine whether or not you find this record appealing; the music is pleasant, simple stuff that occasionally rqcks out, but his singing - it’s somehow melodic and monotonous simultaneously, and his phrasing is rather drawn out - takes some getting used to. Classic song: “Another Girl, Another Planet” with classic line: “You get under my skin/I don’t find it irritating.” The song is also available on Epic’s Permanent ’ Wave coltection. Despite -their outfits, the Headboys have about as much to do with new wave as the Boston Pops. Sometimes they sound like a heavy-metal band, sometimes like Genesis, sometimes like techno-experimental rock a la Alan Parsons, sometimes like r-inky dink Freddie Mercury. Mostly they sound confused. I’ve no doubt they have the potential to make good records-the urgent vocals, racing car guitar and stately keyboards of “The Shape of Things to Come” makes for a terrific songbut this album is too-diversified and too eJ coptrived. Maybe next tiine. , As a group, these five albums are an encouraging lot, and they may be indicative of what’s in store for the 80’s. Look out dinosaur+ *_ -, .-..UP :. -,\ Jason Mitchell ‘%

The Boomtown Rats The Fine Art of Surfacing (Mercury)
Back when Steve Simels of Stereo Review called the Boomtown Rats’ first alb.um the best rot k ‘n’ roll he’d heard in a long time, I obtained a sopy and found it to be a pleasant but distant echo of the energetic new music that bands like Tuff Darts were beginning to generate.

Guitarist Kim Mitchell said in a recent newspaper article that he felt pressured because of the growinsgap between what he wants to do and what his business managers think will sell. Live Magnetic Air is. proof positive that those who pull the strings have Kim and band schmiggies; _ by . their . collective c. I. . c ,a the song selection is awtul (though caretully calculated to represent all four studio albums), the playing is competent but uninspired and the production isn’t great. The only question which remains to be anstiered is whether Max will put out a whole album of “Let Go .the Line”s and become rich and boring, or give up the Big Bucks in favour of artistic freedom, more Max Lunacy and a return to great rock’n’roii. Stay tuned. Jason Mitchell

The cover of the Beat’s debut album might lead you to believe.that they are cousins of the Ramones, not an all together silly notion. Led by Paul Cbllins, they sound somewhat like a hard rocking Stones: powerful, no frills, no pretentions, simple, and with a fascination for women. “Differ&t Kind of Girl” for example, sounds a lot like Mick and the boys, especially since the guitar break was lifted almost note,for nqte from “Time Waits For No One.” For people who like the Knack but didn’t like their misogynist smirking, or people who always wished the Ramones had just slightly higher IQs. A good, danceable pop/rock record.

Graeme Card Dorothea’s Dream *> (Change)
Graeme Card, of Humphrey and the Dumptrucks fame, has just -released his latest album called Dorothea’sI Dream. The album
cover labels the record as a score for an unfilmed movie in blatant hope that someone will film the story. I doubt anyone will. Musically and vocally the poetic development of a mystical Indian legend is ratheyinteresting, but the poetry is too vague and is metaphysical without direction. Each song is related to the’ others but there is no coherence to them. This folk albuy is easy to listen to but I couldn’t imagine watching a movie based upon this preexistant score. Card has talent but seems to want to remain obscure. Ceilid Geiger Elton John Vicfiti of Love WC4

I’
Elton John has been arotind for F long time,. ’ churning out album after album. Most h&e been goo to excellent. However, his latest, Victim of I oue, is an exception. Nearly every artist in every musical field has jumped on the disco bandwagon to either revitaiize a sagging career, start a new career, or just be trendy. It put Rod Stewart, Barry Mafiilow, &I the Roiling Stones back on the top of the charts, and aided the careers of non.disco groups such as Blondie. Elton John falls into the last category: Victim of Love seems to be an attempt at disco for its own sake. One problem: he’s about a year late. Disco is fading fast into the background, with new wave taking its place. So why is Elton doing this album now? Basicall what we have here is seven nonstop disco songs, strung together with the same incessant beat. The beat wasn’t added I’ after the rest was recorded, as wi&ome disco ’ , songs. It was the base of the, music. The instrumentals are bland and tonimaginative, but this is not serious because they’re halfgrowned out by the beat. This is especially evident on “Johnny B. Goode,” the long-timeago ChuckBerry hit. The melody is twisted out of shape almost beyond recognition to fit the disco beat. Vocals seer-h to be an aft&thought, faded, completely submerged. The songs run together as well, so that one gets non-stop music. The problem is that they all sound the same. I detected the change from “Warm Love in a Cold’ World” to “Born Bad” only when I heard a change in- lyrics and different background chprds. The whole album is almost featureless. A regular pop #album in Elton’s usual st)le with maybe a disco song for bandwagon’s sake would have been much be!ter. As it turns out, the only victim of Victim Of Love. is the one who buys this album. Glenn St-Germain

MncAuLny’s Everyone takes pictures these days. So many people dabble in photography (and force friends to suffer through the resulting albums and slide shows) that it’s not taken serious as painting and sculpture are. The current show of works by three photographers at the Arts Centre gallery shows some of the traps-and some of the potential-of this art. Gee Wong’s colour photos are initially the most appealing ones in the exhibit, with their brilliant, true tones and their attractive mounting., However, they are also the least \ original. His subjects-a snow-covered fence, birch trees, a pile of lobster traps, a lighthouse on a hill above flowery fields-recall greeting cards and Hallmark calendars with photos of “The Sea” or “Canadian Scenes”. There are exceptions, of course. One shot of a window with a misty, other-world view seems to be taken from inside and outside at the viewer . must once, raising questions resolve for himself. Wong’s closeups of plants-moss and rocks, fungi on a tree stump, and others- are cool and sparkling with stars of dew. One photo of a lighthouse high above a rocky beach is memorable for the forms of the rocks themselves, sensuous like curled-up bodies. But too often Wong’s pictures opt for the easy, the traditional, the expected, like the lovely sailboat on the silver sea with the silver sky behind it. Great stuff,if you’re a fan of National Geographic magazine, ’ but not particularly new. In his gum bichromate photos, Tom Butterfield creates a vision of- the Maritimes, the sea and the land, that is all his own. This chemical process transforms the photos he has taken, tinting them with the delicate illogical colours of a dream. Some of his photos are like beautiful water colours. One features a view of the sea taken from a ship. The railing is blue, the-sky green, the sea green, rose, yellow. The tints are fresh, delicate yet glowing. Like a

good painting, they suggest a different world, or at least anew way of looking at the old one. The best of Butterfield’s photographs are beautiful, lyrical, tender. But sometimes he goes too far. The pastel colours are too pretty, too syrupy, in some of the photos. The horsedrawn cart passing the old weathered house strikes a false, sentimental note, like a corny moment in a children’s story or sad songs about the good old days. The most effective collection overall is Jack MacAulay’s black and white exhibit. His photographs of trees are stark and eloquent, never trying too hard to please. One in

Not only are there problems existing between the English and French speaking peoples of Canada but many problems exist between Canada’s urban, immigrant majority and her native peoples. The question is “When does a person stop being an immigrant and start being a native?” Whitedog/Cpt’s Dunce, performed last *Thursday in the Modern Languages Theatre by members of Guelph’s Theatre Max and members of the Whitedog Reserve, was an attempt to communicate an aspect of the Indian problem to a highly sympathetic audience. As informative communication the play succeeded; most of the audience left the

Being the premiere performance one could expect loose. edges and problems. The. 4 greatest problem was the script. It simply had no dramatic direction. Worse, it was heavyhanded and too information oriented. At one point the journalist, Hilary, read for about five minutes from an article she had written. We learned a lot but it was boring. Except for a few token gestures toward characterization the actors -were’ most often merely mouthpieces for information. Hampered by such a script the actors could do little. They seemed stilted and uncomfortable, delivering their lines too slowly and with little conviction. They seemed to have an only superficial rapoire with each other.
in parts Only Brenda Cambell as Janet, the disillusioned and confused nurse, was convincing and attracted empathy. Mercury poisoning is an emotional subject. It is also a Canadian issue. One of the strengths of this play was its distinct Canadian content. Jibes at the government are always appreciated. A great deal of humour and sensitivity went into the creation of this play. although partially a soapbox issue, mercury poisoning was handled with insight without extreme partisanship. The problem was presented as a human rather than political one; the audience was not inundated with pat criticisms and answers but was presented with many sides of a perplexing problem. Whitedog/Cat’s Dance asks some fundamental questions. Do we care? Do we care about the third world which is in our own backyard? What are we going to do to help ’ solve the problem? Plays such as this one help us learn what the problem is. Information is the first step to a solution. I would hope that thisc play could be reworked into dramatic form to more powerfully inspire concern for Canada’s native people. Celia Geiger

basket, a fur rug, a beaded lamp and curtains and a picture of a vampish-looking woman hanging on the wall. There is nobody there, but the photo seems full of a presence, like a story broken off in the middle. It would be easy to imagine this picture as part of a film, the characters on the other side of the room as the camera lingered for a moment on a few of their possessions. A photo like this one makes the viewer dream, fills his head with images and suggests to him far more than he really sees, as true art should. Lori Farnham
theatre overwhelmed by information and insightful social comment. But as theatre the evening failed. Didacticism pushed drama into the background. The plot of the play is simple and compelling. A recreation worker and his journalist girlfriend visit Whitedog for the first annual powwow. While there they meet whites and natives and observe theeffects of mercury poisoning from water pollution. There is great dramatic potential here but it is sadly lost.

Whenever Liona Boyd performs, popular phrases surround her. At intermission and in the Humanities Theatre last Monday night phrases taken from, her record albums and press releases, such as “First Lady of the Guitar” and “flair for brilliance” were thick as flies. It has been a long time since ‘something original has been said about Miss Boyd, not that I am going to change that situation. The problem with Liona Boyd’s performances, as well as her recordings, is that they lack sponteneity. In one sense this is great. The audience expects and receives a performance of wonderful technical precision and control. On the other hand, her concerts lack freshness, like the cliches which follow her. The classical g&ar is a very intimate instrument. In &any ways it is a limited instrument. In order to put together a varied programme many pieces must be transposed for the guitar because of the shortage of original works for it. The two most notable examples of these in the concert were Bach’s “Air on a G String,” originally for violin, and Beethoven’s first movement of the “Mgonlight

achieves
Sonata” which is a composition for the piano. Although Miss Boyd played both of these works with great ability and care, the pieces should remain in the domain of their originally intenged instruments. The guitar cannot evoke the emotion of the piano or the nostaigic and sentimental qualities of the violin. Without these attempts to introduce new material into her repertoire for the guitar the concert would not have shown off the *versatility of the instrument or of Miss Boyd’s skill as well as it did. The popular standbys too, were a must. post enthusiastically received by the full house was the aching and romantic study in the tremolo, “Recuerdos de la Alhambra,” by the acclaimed nineteenth century composer Francisco Tarrega. Tarrega’s “Gran Jota de Concierto,” a very witty piece based on variations of a Spanish dance even managed to raise occassional chuckles. Another exquisitely performed classic was the delicate “Cation de la Hilanderq’” by Paraguayan composer Agustin Barrios. Miss Boyd has risen to such high world standing that many quitar works are written especially for her. The concert provided ample -

Last Friday night the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra performed its first concert of the new decade. The near capacity house was treated to a Pops concert along suwrnatural themes. Although .it wasn’t Mallowe’en, the wind and strange weather experienced on Friday made the concert, as conductor Raffi Armenian said, quite appropriate to the season. The highlight of the evening was Franz Liszt’s “Totentanz, The Danc.e for the Dead.” What marked this selection out for distinction was the enthusiastic and exhausting contribution of guest pianist Monica Gaylord. Miss Gaylord amply met the great emotional and technical requirements of the work. Liszt was himself a &-eat and renowned pianist who composed frenzied, dramatic shop-pieces for himself. Gaylord was certainly up to his acclaimed standards, playing the twenty-nine variations on a Gregorian chant with wonderful moodiness and excitement. Well supported by the accompanying orchestra, Gaylord, dressed in stunning red velvet, beautifully played a very lively dance for the dead. My greatest question about the-evening was why Miss Gaylord was used only for one of the six offerings. Having -gone through the expense and time required t? bring her to Waterloo for three evetiings of concerts on the we-eked, why was she not given a more prominent role in, the concert? This problem was especially perplexing during the last piece. The composer of “Totentanz”, Franz Liszt,

also wrote the “Mephisto Walt<‘,‘and he wrote it specifically for the piano. Having demonstrated a masterful knowledge of Liszt, it would have been quite appropriate for Miss - Gaylord to addifionally perform in a work written for the piano. As performed in an orchestrated version, the “Mephisto Waltz”, based on a scene from Goethe’s Faust, had the energy and seductive violence necessary to the piece but was lacking because of the absense of the distinctive flavour of the piano. Of particular note in fhe program was the first offering which was the “Overture” from Verdi’s opera, La Forza Del Dest’ino. The overture summarized the themes of the “absolutely ridiculous story.” Although the opera is not one of Verdi’s greatest or most famous, it is very typical of his work. Verdiwas very fond of using sweetly straining, lyrical violins, an element which the orchestra’s fine string section beautifully emphasized. Partly because of Verdi’s overlapping and repetitive themes, the orchestra displayed its greatest unity and cooperation. Each section of the orchestra blended into the canvas in complimentary colours in truly dramatic style. Although the evening dentred around eery and devilish themes, the performance was always relaxed. Raffi Armenian’s introductions to each of the works were often hilariously funny. With the help of his high spirited orchestra he might, in a pinch, substitute for Victor Borge. Celia

sampling of these, but unfortuately Canadian Milton Barnes’ “Fantasy for Guitar”, based on #“Land of the Silver Birch” was not included. Particularly outstanding were two works, “Blues” and “Capriccio”, which were composed by Godfrey Ridout who was a music professor at U of T, where Miss Boyd studied. Very rapid and demanding works, they were both particularly interesting because they required extensive plucking of the strings with the left hand. It is impossibl6 to come away from a Boyd concert without an appreciation for Liona Boyd’s great talent -and dedication. Her standards are very high.

disappoints
The Wilfred Laurier Drama Club, for its first presentation in a number of years, chose The Mousetrap, Agatha Christie’s widely acclaimed murder mystery. All that needs to be said about the play itself is that they chose well. The, production, on the other hand, was merely acceptable, with a’ couple of bright lights. Debi McKay and Darren Laing, for instance, as Mr. and Mrs. Ralston, the owners of Monkswell Manor Guest House, have moments where the believability of their characters breaks down. Dave Gent’s Paravicini is too comical to be sinister. On a more positive note, Gerry McBride was wondeful as the high-strung Christopher
Wren. Although he has a hard time portraying Christopher in the second act, when he comes under suspicion of murder and the play becomes serious, when the character is played for humour, it is delightful. Donna Fisher, as the icy Mrs. Boyle, is also quite impressive. Hampering the production were the’ poor acoustics of the WLU Theatre Auditorium, which gobbled up some of the lines from each of the actors and actresses. Better projection might have helped, but I think the theatre was to blame. All in all, although there were a number of high points, the production of The Mousetrap wasn’t as good as it could have been. Ira Nayman \I Y

“I’ve never had a team that started like this”, saidwarrior basketball coach Don McCrae before Wednesday’s game against Guelph. . On Saturday, Waterloo had been blown out at Windsor 84-62, their second successive ’ league loss; they had followed a familiar pattern, taking a one point lead after twentv minutes, then succumbing to the Lancers’ aggressive pressure defence in the second half. 1 As McCrae analyzed that loss, he could have been describing almost any Warrior

game since a loss to Carleton in the Naismith Classic twmonths ago: ‘We have the desire to do well, our theoretical preparation seems OK, and.we play well early in the game; then when things get tense at crucial times, when we have to get backto elementary play, the fundamentals, we can’t do it and break down totally. We covered that stuff in class, but obviously we didn’t learn it. ‘We need a lift”, he added. ‘We have to string four or five good games together, whether we win them or not.” While this department has no

imp rov-e, desire to paint black skies blue, it seems he may have got his wish in a 61-55 loss to the Gryphons. Despite the loss, it was a creditable performance. The Warriors displayed a tough defence which had been notably absent recently, and forced Guelph into numerousturnovers. McCrae attributed this to “improved concentration”. The defensive effort was almost enough to beat a team which may be the best in the OUAA west. The Gryphons boast five solid starters, effective bench strength, and a new coach, Gib Chapman, who won a national title at Acadia several years ago. Offensively, the Warriors have some problems. They attpmpted to slow the pace of the game against the quicker Gryphonsand for the most part, the strategy worked. They shot well enough (52%) but were beset by turnovers at the most inopportune times (in the closing minutes of both halves). When the crucial baskets needed to be scored in the final four minutes, it was Rick Dundas, Tom Heslip, and ‘Mike Sesto who scoredthem to expand a one point Guelph lead into nine. Most of these scores resulted from Waterloo turnovers. ‘We were very hesitant. We faced token pressure but wedealt with it like it was maximum pressure”, McCrae commented. Seymour , Hadwen, rounding into form after a serves of injuries, played a strong game, scored a team-leading 16 points (he also had 16 against Windsor), and set up at least five other baskets before fouling out.
