In 1&‘2 the Ontario Federation of Student’s (OFS) was formed for the purpose of giving post-secondary students in Ontario a stronger voice through a central organization, and the ability to share information. Just prior to its formation, there had been a $100 tuition fee increase and no visible way to fight it. -_ ,To ensure that,OFS did not become a bureaucracy too willing to spend freely, one of its bylaws states that a student fee increase shall only be permissable once every five years, OFS has not haq a fee increase since 1975, when it was raised to 75 cents per 4 month term from 40 cents. While inflation and operating costs have risen dramaticallg since then, the OFS budget has had to remain relatively stationary, thus depriving it of man’? tools necessary to do an adequate job for the studentsit represents. Some increase in revenue has been reflected / from the rises in student enrollment. In the future however, enrollment will drop as the effects of the demographic bulge created by the post-war “baby boom” tail off. This means OFS’s revenue, already inadequate, will drop. For this reason, and also, more particularly, to augment some services and institute others, OFS is asking for a student fee increase of 75 cents tb$1.50. This increase would be achieved by having enough individual /

student unions approve it be referendum. UW is holding its referendum on January 30, in conjunction with the student Federation election. Among new services offered would be a permanent office where an Information Barik would be housed for use by all members, a business manager to establish a student credit union, health plan for students, and cooperative stores, and a bilingual researcher and translator. Several of these improvements would offer substantial savings to students if implemented, (The credit union for example would be able to lend students money at lower interest rates.) The Special Committee on Resources and Planning (SCRAP) report which recommended the improved services and fee increase worked long and hard before last-fall’s conference to come up with what it considered the absolute minimum amount fees could be raised if OFS was to continue to be a respected and effective stu d;ent voice in Ontario. After an exhausting plenary session, the SCRAP report passed unanimously, a totally unexpected development. After seemingly endless questions and probings, all the delegations at the conference concurred with SCRAP’s contention that the fee increase was absolutely necessary. Although SCRAP had asked for $2.00, a vigilent plenary lowered it to $1.59, by

eliminating some recommendations it felt would have to wait in the interests of economy. Fully half of the revenue from the increase would go to relieve the financial burden imposed by inflation and costs, while the rest wguld go to improving services. The ability to improve what it can offer to students is of paramount importance to the future existence of OFS, and to the post-secondary stude’nts in this province. Hard times lie ahead for us. We should have no illusions about that. An OFS with insufficient funds cannot do the job students need done. An improved and thriving OFS enthusiastically supported by students can continue to do the research and lobbying, provide the information we need to achieve our goals and have the resource; to handle the problems of the future. OFS is working for accessibility to post-secondary education (the right to receive an education regardless of income) and the maintaining of the quality of that ecfucatioo through adequate government funding, not continual tuition fee hikes and diversion of government funds to other recipients such as industry. Support of your provincial student represe’ntatives ensures an active student voice now and a chance at an education for future students. On January 30th you have to decide if that is worth $1.50 of your money. v 1 Liz Wood

The first Federation President&l candidates forum, which was supposed to have taken place on Wednesday, January 23, did take place on Thursday, January 24. There were noticably fewer people at the one which was held,possibly because it was held an hour earlier. The reason the forum was not held as scheduled was that a podium/microphone was not available, rind no member of the election comittee could be found. The candidates were, naturally, disappointed, but, without the microphone, there was little chance that candidates would be hegrd in the Great Hall of the Campus Centre. Ben Benninge-r was the first candidate to speak at, the forum. He said that he felt the tuition fee increase of 7.5% was realistic when inflation was approximately 8.8%, that the University of Waterloo should remain in the Ontkrio Federation of Students and that a new pub isn’t feasible with the

The number of members will have dropped, a:cording to prediction?, from ~48,.@0 to 119,000 (see Imprint, Jan. 11, 1980). The proposed fee increase, if ratified, will do more than lift OFS out of its present financial doldrums, however.

made several recommendations for an improved OFS which would offer more services, have a permanent home, and create a structured undergraduate commission. At this meeting, Chairperson Chris McKillop stressed that the question was not so much about money as it was about what kind of OFS the students wanted to see in the future (s%e Imprint, October 5, 1979). The ammended SCRAP report was passed at the confbrence unanimously, after Federation President Mark McGuire told the plenary that it could support the recommendations of the SCRAP report, or “watch OFSeyapourate in the next two years.” Approximately half of the proposed fee increase will be used to cw with inflatio? and the declining enrolment’s negative influence on the OFS budget.

Province-wide health plan, co-op stores and warehousing for students With this type of widened resource availability, Clarke feels, OFS will be able to deal more effectively with student issues. “With the $1.50 fee OFS will be given the financial autonomy to establish the permanence of the organization as a force to contend with. The government will have to take us seriously as a student voice.” “If OFS hadn’t made the’ stude@ wishes known through a strong programme of lobbying,” Clarke said, “we feel that the tuition increase could have been double or even triple what it is today.” The referendum must be ratified by two thirds of the students of Ontario. If it is successful, the higher fees will go into effect in September 01 1980. If the OFS referendum is
accepted generally, but rejected by the University of Waterloo, UW’s membership in OFS will lapse. There is, however, some recourse to a failed referendum. Anot her referendum can be held before fall of 1981. The referendum is being held in conjunction with the pre’sidential election in order to increase the returns, said the Federation office, and to save over a thousand dollars on the cost of postage‘ and envelopes. The Universiti of Waterloo will be the first OFS member , to hold its fee referend6m. The polls will be open from 9:3,Oam to 4:30pm. ID cards must be presented to vote.

present system of refundable fees. Benninger came out in favour of spreading orientation throughout the campus (instead of restricting it to one tent) and creating a student lobby! reseakch group to make suggestions to Waterloo Transit on the new bus routes which would aid students in Waterloo. On the issue of campus safety, Benninger suggested that students should set up a fund to pay for the lighting at Minota and Hagey embarass the administration into returning the money to the students. Neil Freeman later questioned the effectiveness of this policy, but Benninger stuck to it. Neil Freeman, the next candidate to speak, was against both the 10% optionalfee increase and the 7.5% fee increase. He pointed out that the government Emergency Loan Fund was dry and it was only January, and that students would be asked to pay more for residence and
coricentrates
higher co-op fees. He told everyone that the OFS must pursue confrontation in its dealings for the. students, that it should not simply “talk” to the gdvernment. He also believed that the Federation should pressure the Waterloo City Council into providing-good housing. Jim Mackle began by pointing out that the President was only one man, and that the power lay width the students, that a strong student voice was important. He also stated that the feeincrease would, by the time he took office, have been ih effect for over a month, and that the time to let University President Burt Matthews know how students feel about such increases is now. Responding to the need for better housing, Mackle proposed the formation of a Housing Qffice to co-ordinate student placement. When
questioned about this by Neil Freeman, Mackle stated that the University facilities in this area had been hard hit by cutbacks and, since they were not doing the job acceptably, should be, in part, aided-by some funding by the students. He also suggested a fee referral service. Heather Robertson, quoting from-a pamphlet which she circulated before the forum, stated her four point pr,ogramme: 1) fight the tuition fee increase by refusing to pay it; 2) vote NO on the fee increase t-o the Ontario Federation of Students; 3) give more money and assistance to student clubs and services on campus and spend less money on extravagant concerts and pubs, and; 4) pay close attention to n-ational and international affairs. On the subject of tuition fee increases, Robertson insisted that, whereas_- the
on cutbacks fees will go up, income will not’, aggravating an already intolerable situation. The onus to pay these increases should come from multinational corpsorations, she feels, who will, through the co-op programme, be getting relatively cheap labour, and be training workmen. The multinationals can, of course, afford to pay. Some differing opinions were expressed during the ‘question period. The question ‘6f graduate students having representation on the Federation even though they do nbt pay Fed fees was asked of all the candidates. Freeman felt that the grad situation was “not a -leadership question”, Robertson pointed out that the “grads are faced with cutbacks (as are all the other students) and should stay”, Benninger said that “those who pay fees should make the decisions” tind that the grads should not have representation, and Mackle stated that
“after grads would into.”
four years of study, deserve a vote; fees have to be looked
“We must clean up at home before we worry about elsewhere,” Mackle said on the subject of the Federation’s involvement in international issues. Benninger felt that the “Federation should be concerned with student issues” while Robertson argued that “this sort of thing does affect Canadian students.” Freeman repeated. the sentiment that’ we should “clean up our own back yard.” The next forums are to be held on Friday January 25 at lo:30 am in the Math Lounge, Monday January 28 at lo:30 am in the Humanities coffee shop, and Tuesday January 29 at noon in the Pollock building lounge.

Obituary Deceased Friday, January 25, 1980 in its third week of consciousness since recovering from a coma which began in October. Born in September, 1979, it suffered a difficult birth. After three weeks, it lapsed into coma, diagnosed as terminal lack of interest. Many UW and WLU students came to know‘and love the shuttle, and did not wish to see euthanasia employed. The parents, Mr. Bill Deeks of Administration Services and Mr. Cliff Bilyea of WLU Purchasing Services, decided likewise. Specialists toiled ceaselessly until the child was revived January 2. The disease, hoilvever, finally/ran its course, and the shuttle died Friday afternoon I’ at 1 pm. Funeral services have not been scheduled as yet. Costs incurred in medical expenses are approximately $3000 in total and will be split between the parents. A second child has not been ruled out, but is not likely in the near-future, according to step-

Moral? A writer is hesitant, these days, to write a story with a moral; they seem to have go,,pe completely out of style. They are decidedly passe. Out. As forihis story in particular, well, the moral could be that you shouldn’t ask for a recombinant DNA machine just because all the other kids on/She block are getting one. Or, perhaps you should think twice before you ask your father for the keys to the/flying saucer. Perhaps both. Maybe neither. The story may s&ply be attempting to point out that parents are people just like you or I’, have problems just like you or I and have strengths just like you or I. Or maybe not. I certainly c@t be asked what the moral of the story is; I merely wrote it. It’s yours now.

Stephen Gelb, a spokesman for the Toronto Committee for the Liberation of Southern Africa (TCLSAC) met with students onTuesday afternoon for an informal Brown Bag Seminar sponsored by WPIRG to explain apartheid in South Africa and the relevence of the issue for Canadians. Explaining the nature of apartheid, Gelb stated that the system was set up to maintain the repression of the black population which comprises more than 80% of the South African population. The Botha government, which belongs to the Nationalist Party that has ruled since 1948, actively supports apartheid as its basic governmental policy because the black population supplies almost all of the country’s industrial and manual labour. The denial of political and human rights to the blacks is necessary to the white government because it wishes to keep wages as low as possible, to maintain a sufficient supply of labour and to reap the highest profits possible. The Nationalist government has tightened its control and suppression of the blacks through two major legal means: the Parse Law and cheap labour laws. The Parse Laws ensure the complete control of black labourers. These laws have est ablished homelands for the

CUP Briefs Bill to Merge Minist&s
Ontario Dies
TORONTO - The bill to merge Ontario’s Ministry of Colleges and Universities with the Ministry of Education, Bill 91, died when the provincial legislature recessed for Christmas. But the ministries have already been effectively merged, according to. Chris McKillop, chairperson of’ the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS). Dr. Bette Stephenson has been responsible for both ministries since August 1978 and both ministries ’ have had the same deputy minister, H.K. Fisher, since have February 1979. “The ministries been merged in the short term,” McKillop said, “but in the long term things may be different as a result of what was said at the hearings. The legislature’s justice committee held hearings last spring and fall to. sound out public reaction-to the merger bill. The hearings turned into an open forum on the state of education in ‘the province under the Conservative government’s restraint -program. When the committee wished to prepare a report on the merger bill and the hearings for the legislature, the Conservative government insistel+bn established procedure which permits a committee only to pass a bill onto the legislature for third (and final) reading, refuse to pass it on, or pass it on in an amended form. The committee, in which the Conservatives are a minority, then refused to send-the bill on to the legislature, so it died in committee.Stephenson may re-introduce the bill when the next session convenes in either late February or early March.
Nuclear Power: Coming In on a Pencil and Paper Clip NORTH ANNA, VA. (ZNS) - Some people think of pencils and paper clips as office supplies, but in at least one US nuclear power plant they are used as emergency tools in the control room. Federal inspectors report that operations crews at the Virginia Power and Electric Company nuclear power plant at North Anna used a paper clip and a pencil to deliberately jam an emergency switch which had malfunctioned. According to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the switch - which controlled a water tank connected to the plant’s emergency cooling system remained jammed for about a month. About 20 workers at the plant are said to have known about the make-shift emergency switch repair, y-et none of them did anything about it. The commission also- discovered that workers in that same plant had simply disconnected a system designed to vent radioactive gas, rather than repair the system, after it had malfunctioned. The NRC says it has decided against fining the plant operators for the two violations. The plant operators have been fined mqre than $120,000 for previous operating errors.
Ontario’s 90,000 community college students are faced with a tuition fee increase of 16 per cent next spring. Community college students at present pay tuition fees of $345. Extra fees are added to the tuition figure depending on the course involved. Next year community college students will pay a flat tuition fee of $400 that will include all f incidentals. Norman Williams, chairman ‘of the Ontairo Council of Regents, the body that administers the province’s 22 community colleges, said that community college students will welcome the flat rate covering such-extras as laboratory fees and supplies. He also welcomed the 7.5 per cent increase in gov_ernment . grants to the community colleges. “It’s recognition that the community colleges are performing their role,” said Williams.
Thieves Seize Golden Oppdktunity at U of T of Toronto TORONTO - Universitv dental students are up la root canal without a paddle after thieves took advantage of a golden opportunity. More than $10,000 worth of gold alloy, used by the dental students for making crowns, was stolen Jan. 15 from locked classroom drawers. With gold prices still soaring the opportunity to make an easy dollar apparently was too good to pass up for the thieves, who police believe had keys to the room and the safekeeping drawers. According to the police, the gold alloy was not insured. Unfortunately for the dental students, the loss means more than a delay in the cavity filling business - each student must personally purchase the half ounce of gold alloy he or she uses in the program.
U of T Students Fear the worst
Student leaders at the University of Toronto have predicted that University of T\oronto president, Dr. James Ham, will propose tuition increases for the university beyond the general 7.5 per cent increase announced by the provincial government on December 31. Under Ontario’s new tuition system each individual institution has the right to add up to ten per cent to provincially set tuition levels. Predictions of higher fees at the University of Toronto are based on Ham’s remarks before the fee increase was announced. Ham said he favoured a tuition increase. to the point where students pay twenty per cent of their own education costs. “I have always believed that, provided student support is adequate, it is not unreasonable for students to pay higher fees,” Ham remarked, “However, I would think that to pay fifty per cent, for instance, would be ridiculous.” Ham does not advocate an immediate rise to twenty per cent. “It is a long term figure,” he said, nor is a fee increase of more than 7.5 per cent before the governing council. Ham countered arguments that differOntario Community College ences in fees among universities wuld create an education marketplace by Students Hit with Tuition * pointing out that in the United States Increase differences in tuition fees among universities are quite common. Ham’s TORONTO - University students were remark on whether or not fee increases was “If fees in not the only group affected by the tuition / would hurt enrolment announced by Minister of certain areas were raised more than 7.5 increase Education and Colleges and Univerper cent, I don’t think that alone would have a significant efect.” sities, Dr. Bette Stephenson.

A good solid fifteen minutes go by while his mind operates on two levels at once, trying to fit the concert into the scheme of things even reversal he is holding up the whole bloody while continuing to be a part of it.

But his schizophrenia is half * with the music. The oscillations never quite immediate, as real as it’s going to get, no reach a level where they threaten to take out escape needed here, and as the Clash go into the whole bank of seats, damped as they are White Riot he snaps fully back to-what’s by friction with the blonde in front and the this? the,audience is swarming up onto the sideways motion of his old co-support (her stage, disappearing behind the amplifiers, damnable hair now whipping across his face footlights flickering like loose teeth, Strummer as she shakes ‘her head and body), immersing m-omentarily eclipsed but swinging a few herself in the sound as the Clash bounce times with the mike stand emerging again, from song to song, remarkably together, crouching low to shut out the pressing wouldintroductions nonexistent or brief, swapping be vocalists grasping at him, is the drummer guitar and vocal duties about, dashing from still there? w’hen did the music end? sTde to side through the occasional explosion All he knows is that the lights come up and everyone up there mills around sheepishly, of spit from the cretins at the front as though . their lives depend’on it.

But J. is already ten feet up the aisle-
’ Sten Gu ns in Knightsbridge Prabhakar The B-Girls had yielded the stage: four young ladies who could neither play nor 1 sing, though he had managed to fall in love with the bass player by the end of the second number. They were succeeded by the Undertones: pjagued by equipment problems, he had watched genuine anger slowly supplant the mock rage, that was de rigueur at these performances, spreading across the lead singer’s face until in disgust he made a chopping motion with his mike hand and stomped off, to ba followed sheepishly by the rest of the band. The crowd, unnoticed during all that, had flowed down into the aisles framing the front orchestra section, just behind J. and himself, who,,in a fit of instinctive action, had sprung for two empty seats in said section as soon as the lights had gone down. He knows that if he looks back he will see a solid wall of people commencing six inches behind his ears, constraining and directing his vision strajght ahead, across the chosen few actually sitting, to the squat, sedate stage of the O’Keefe Centre. He has just about gotten over the nervous, creeping horror that had insinuated itself during the twenty-four minutes he waited out in front of the building for J. and his ticket, walking back and forth through the lights and grey pillars, past the footman standing aloof from the leather-and-safetypin punks starting to collect at the entrance. It was the BI test in a series of almost trivial paranoias that had begun inflicting, themselves from the moment he received J.‘s letter informing him of the concert, in the middle of the week, two hundred and fifty miles away from where he worked and lived. After running through half-a-dozen scenarios in his head, dropping hours here and there, confusing transit times, costs, and sick leave days, he sat down with a pad of graph paper N and concluded that*if he worked late Monday and Tuesday, left at noon on Wednesday and replaced Thursday with Sunday he could make it. Over the weekend he built up a huge complex argument justifying it all, but his boss agreed right away, and some ten hours ago he pulled out of the parking garage into the noonhour traffic. About two o’clock, on the 401 somewhere west of Kingston, he became convinced that he had turned the wrong way off 16 and was odometer-flicking his way towards La Belle Province. He fought down the mounting urge to turn back for nearly half an hour, until he-, reached the turnoff for the Thousand Islands ’ Parkway and felt the impotent fury drain out of him like a fulfilled capacitance as the calm waters of the St. Lawrence rose into. view on the left. He questioned it then, and he is questioning it now, hemmed in by the masses on three sides and the aftertaste of . two mediocre warm-up acts on the fourth, when his train of thought is derailed by the lights going off. It would end in a predetermined conclusion, anyway: that he-is going to turn twenty the next day (just a vagary of our numerical system, he is quick to’say to people who congratulate him, though inside he dreads it with an uncontrollable instinct) and once in a whilehe has to make these grandiose gestures, reaffirm his anti-Establishment ideals (good Christ, at a thousand a month it was getting harder) by making a musical hrctlji to see one of the latest last hopes of rock’n’roll in one of the Enemy’s most opulent temples. It would stop there, shying away from the Biblical images, the moneychangers and the Messiah, and he gladly drops the whole rationale: as the spotlights start circling the crowd like lean hawks, they rise to the rest of their feet, and the Clash take the stage. , ’ Safe Europa~t I-tonte it is (witty little number, not among the ones he plays in the morning to drive out the six-thirty pearly light, but the bne he plays to novices as part of an ongoing .proselytization, “plying” as J. puts it, subtle as a Jehovah’s Witness) and he cannot see anything but the occasional head of hair crisscrossing the stage set too close to the floor. So he leaps onto his seat (conscience, all horn-rimmed glasses and carefullytrimmed beard, interjects briefly-the O’Keefe, man, the’O’KPPf+-the seduce”d spirit of the ‘60’s gone sour, banished in an instant) and then onto the armrests, where he is a good half-a-head taller than anyone else in the crowd, discounting the effect of the floor-as it gracefully sweeps back and up in a semi-parabola, trying to get out with its dignity intact. Crouching down a bit in order not to appear so conspicuous, he can still see down to the guitars of Strummer, Jones’et al-they are wearing-stylish and not at all pu& clothing, short, neat hair, only the bass player looking like he couldn’t make it into grad school. For maybe thirty seconds, during the guitar bridge, a neural short-circuit leaves him wondering, and then-of course-these are

He tries to watch their technique, but keeps getting drawn back to their faces, already grimacing with the effort, putting their energy into the music instead of aiming it out at the audience. As the first number ends he looks back to see if anyone looks angry enough at his obstruction to pull him down, and notices, in front of the dim neighbourhood of people not even trying to see, three young ladies (jean-jacketed, and at least one of them with hair that had been 1tickling him all the way through the second act-Christ, he had muttered to J., if she does that one more time I’m going to pull her down on top of me) craning their necks, trying to see-hell, he thinks, be a good socialist youth, and reaches back to help them over into and Bnto his row\of seats-one, two, three, crushing his coat and clipboard (notes? you expected to be able to take notes?) somewhere down in the recesses below, ‘orming a precarious small community aloft Nith the music.

On the fourth wall hangs the mirror that hangs the image that murders the spirit of you and your unshapely little body. The light allows no hiding placeyou find your face in that ever reflecting shadow-that accusingly’ truthful light makes you meet your wrinkles and unpeachy perfect skin which seems so loosely drawn around those sunken eye sockets. The rags you dump’yourself into aren’t your own-they make you feel unassembled-“abnormal’‘-you don’t fit that perfect size 5.

Ben Benninger
2. I am presently Co-ordinator of KW Pollution Probe and also Director of the Waterloo‘ Chapter of the Solar Energy Society of Canada. These positions have helped me develop organizational and communication skills which would be an asset should I be elected President. ’ My involvement as a member of the Federation’s Board of Education and External Relations have given me an insight into the workings of the Federation of Students and how it relates to other student groups and the Provincial Government. Of equal signifidance is my enthusiasm to work for the students of this university.
Provincial Government has announced a 7.2% increase in Government grants to Universities and a corresponding tuition hike of 7.5%. Every campus will have the option of raising tuition a further 10%. At Monday night’s Senate meeting Dr. Matthewsannounced his decision to recommend to the Board of Governors that tuition at U of W be increased across the bbard by.7.5% with an additonal hike of $39.00 for only Optometry students. The fees for this program $856.78 will then be the sirme as those for Engineering and Architecture. J feel that this increase for Optometry is unjustified especially since these students are not eligible for OSAP grants for at least their last year of study, they must also spend large sums of money on expensive text books and equipment. ’ There was very little pressure on UW this year to take advantage of the optional 10% increase in fees since an increase in Government grants of only 4.6% had been anticipated. The danger lies in the next
5. I strongly suggest that UW stay in the Ontario Federation of Students. The $0.75 per term increase is the first in 5 years and will be the only one for the next 5 years. It should be noted that more than half of the fee increase is to cope with inflation and declining enrollment. My involvement with the Board of Education and External Relations has provided me with a better -understanding ofi th& need for a properly funded Provincial student voice. 6. My immediate consideration would be to see that all Council seats are filled so that every Faculty is properly represented. I propose that a list of both University and Federation committees be ‘published and distributed, this would ehcourage students to participate in such bodies as food, housing, bookstore, and parking committees, .to mention only a few. The Federation has a 1oW student profile, often students don’t participate because they are simply not aware of what the Federatipn has to offer. Stronger efforts should be made ’ to inform and encourage students as to how to become involved.
3. I would see to it that students would be actively represented on the decision making Campus Centre Board. I would also investigate the possibility of the construction of a new pub. I don’t support the $5000 salary reduction for the turnkeys proposed by Dr. Matthews. Such a reduction would result in drastically reduced services or the closing of the CC during certain times. I suggest that $5000 in question be derived from the recently announced government grants which were larger than the University had anticipated. Since the CC is an integral part of this campus reductions in service to the students would not be tolerated. 4. I would hold the improvement of student services in high priority. Beginning with Orientation, I propose that it be revised so that different areas of campus would host various activities. To compliment this a new mini-calendar could be made available to every student, providing information on’ campus activities. KW transit is currently revamping tze City bus system. I would encourage-more student involvement through research and lobbying for a better, more convenient service to the UW community. Housing is a continual problem at UW. Students should be made more aw’are of
.
7. Yes, I certainly support continuing offcampus pubs. The main reason for this action lies in .the fact fhat the South Campus Hall is a visual and acoustic disaster. The pillars and varying ceiling height detract greatly from any productions held there. Furthermore, set up time is considerably restricted; such is not the case with other facilities such as the Waterloo Motor Inn. According to our Programmer clean up and damage costs are higher at South Campus Hall than off&campus. These negative aspects of SCH combined with the favourable arrangement which the Federation presently has with the Waterloo Motor Inn make it practical to holdpubs offcampus.
2. Are you in Favour of the optional 10% frlii against it? 2. What experience do you have and why do 3. What will you do to improve the Campus coming out of’the turnkeys’ salaries? If not, 4. WouJd you do anything to improve studer 5. Should UW stay in OFS? Is the 75 cent in involvement in OFS?6. What would you do to get students involv 7.

However, I do support the ‘use of the PAC for concerts. The establishment of the Programmer as a- permanent position will certainly be an asset in attracting big name bands to this campus. 8. The budget should allow for more funds to be set aside for the development of UW ‘stddent services under the Vice President’s position. Consideration shold be given to donating more funds to the emergency loan fund (Ginny Lee Fund). It is difficult to predict year to year the budget (due to refundable fees), but I would work to ensure the budget accurately reflect what money has been allotted to the Federation’s activities. 9. Yes, I would certainly provide aid for students living off-campus. This point ties in closely with that of the provision of expanded student services. For example, the / Federation shold encourage the formation of Tenants Associations through local resource groups. Information and workshops could be provided regarding off-campus housing and the laws governing such accommoL. dations. I also sugggest lobbying the Jocal government to impose a minimum standards I housing bylaw, and proper enforcement. As mentioned, input into student transit would be given high priority. I further propose that a UW student car pool be formed to assist students who live offcampus. Finally, the Federation should consider means by which to improve the student profile in KW such as through a liaison commit&e with local governments. Ben Benninger
\ With. rising food prices, rent, books, transportation costs, etc., the last thing we need is another tuitionhike. Although the Ontario government has already OK’ed the raise and the university board of governors will have reached their decision on the hike before I would take office, I hope not to let the issue die. Before my term would start this would be a month old issue but I-plan to-continue a strong voice of dispproval for these actions. Realistically however, if something is not dohe at present my disapproval will be of little consequence as these proposals will be law by that time. However, a strong stand will assure these administrative bodies that we won’t accept these things too easily.

I am running for this position be&use I havehad enjoyable experiences in the past with student -government. These experifrom friends have ences and advice prompted me to run. I cannot and I will not promise anything short of trying my best. Your tuitions won’t go dqwn, yo’ur houses won’t be cleaner, and the beer won’t taste better just because I am in office. YOU will, however, have a person that is working for -your better interests to the best of ‘my ability. I won’t burden the federation with petty issues of little consequence to you the student, and I won’t take any shit from people trying td make me do so. If you give me the chance I’ll do my best. , Jim Mackle
2. I have been a member of the Kinesiology Students Association for four years now and I have served in varying c_gpacities. In past I have been Kin Social Rep, planning and preparing Kin Pqbs and other social activities. I have served as class rep for second and third year and have experience in that aspect. I represented our student body as a member of the Faculty Council and the Faculty Planning Committee. I have been Men’s Intramural Rep for one term and I am. presently the co-cgairperson of the KSA. All of these posltlons have enhanced my administrative ability and I am confident of myself in all these areas. Not only have I dealt with the students of Kinesiology but I have had experience with the whole student bpdy during this term and last while working as a Turnkey. During last term I was a member of the following Turnkey Committees: Cinema Gratis, Ping Pong tournament and the Interviewing Committee. My experiences working for the students as a turnkey have been very* enjoyable and I hope to continue them as your student president.
I thihk it is obvious that any student would oppose a tuition fee increase with the. financial burden we face. Being a student with no outside support I have had to work part time this year and I have often found it hard to make ends meet.
3. I have been a turnkey for this term and last term and I believe the Campus Centre is run very effectively. As President I would not attempt directly to improve the Campus in any qther way other than attempting to increase the power the

4. There are several student services I would attempt to improve. Housing at U of W is in rough shape and as such I would like to hire a student housing officer to offer his assistance in finding housing for those unable to get to campus before the start of classes. This person would also develop with the students’ help a landlord referral system to avoid bad landlords and poor housing. I would also propose a referendum to give the students the chance to answer the question “Why the hell don’t we have a good campus pub. 7” Those in favour of a Pub could show this by suppor‘ting a Pub fee. I realize this is essentially a tuition hike but it would give the student body a chance to put an end to this often heard complaint. /. 5. If U of W is to atte*mpt to change some of the present educational inadequacies they will require--province and country wide support. The best way to achieve this collective bargaining power is to support the provincial body established for just that. _

Campus Centre Board has over their own affairs. By doing this I would give the ability to improve to a group I think are very competent and able $0 make very kffective improvements. In regards to the $5000.00 budget cut, I attended the Campus Centre Board meeting where their proposals on this matter were discussed. I believe their solutions are excellent, but the decision is still in Burt Matthews’ (University President) hands. They suggested that the money come from CC revenue, primarily from the games room, and not out of Turnkey salaries. Our reasoning for this is that it would decrease the quantity/ and quality of services provided by the Turnkeys. From personal experience I have good, reason to back this stand and ,at the moment the most effective action I could take wquld be to ask you, the students, to voice your concern for the Campus Centre cutbacks to Dr. Mathews in the form of letters. A concerned appeal from the students wou\d make all the difference in the woyld. ‘I’

The 75~ increase is of little co&equence if collectively it will improve the organization determined to better the I believe with the students’ status. increased asssts the OFS can increase their research staff and their operating efficiency and achieve the above goals. 6. Involvement is a personal choice and as such I would do nothing to coax or bribe the students into involvement. However, I would attempt to make the Federation as accessible as possible to those students showing an interest and I would heartily encourage any involvement at all. Socially speaking, I would work with the Board of Entertainment in assuring the best poss- _ ible entertainmen; available and make sure the students are aware. of coming activities. 7. With the present facilities on campus and the prices an-d hassle involved there is little choice but to hold live entertainment pubs off campus. Although South Campus Hall is often used it is severely limited in that it lacks adequate facilities for the group, the electrical layout is poorand the acoustics are hurting badly. Waterloo Motor Inn has provided facilities that are too good to refuse, the rooms for the group are excellent, and the electrical systems a<d acoustics are much better. Plus, there are less charges involved and the profit is usually much higher as we receive a greater percent. I am totally in favour of more name bands that are possible to attract, such as Max Webster, Harmonium. 8. As of now I have to hpnestly say I am not that familiar with the amount of money going to each club so I cannot take a stand on this issue. I assure you, however, that clubs wisely and effectively using their budgets and requiring more will be strongly considered for increases. On the topic of the budget, I must again admit that I am not familiar enough with the figures to make decisions as to h’ow to improve the budge+ or whether or not it even needs improvement. I will, however, closely review the budget and give ,contihued on page 14

The University of Waterloo is a relatively new and modern university which may not have set establi shed traditions b ut is in the process of developing a heritage of its own. The Federation of Students is more stable now that it has been for quite some time, which gives us the opportunity to improve on its ability to serve students and build on that which is good at this university. - There are many problems that face students today, which create unnecessary ’ burdens on top of our educational responsibilities. The most recent of fhese problems is the thought of tuition fees increasing by a maximum of 17.5% in September. T-he government has announced a province-wide fee increase of 7.5% and has given the individual universities the option of increasing fees an additional 10%. Any such discretionary increase in fees will break down the province wide tuition scheme in which all universities have approximately the same fee structure.. The outcome of this dis~ cretionary action would be universities placing tuition ata fixed percentage of the education cost, which would rise with inflation. Waterloo, which has strong demand for its programs, would be able to move to this fee structure but would be disregarding the principle of equal accessibility and a system based . on 1 what students can, reasonably afford. It is hard enough on the student right now. It is not even the end of January and the Emergency Student Loan Funds are dry. For these reasons, I support the Ontario
.
1. Any tuition increase is unjust. While tuitioi fees are on the upswing, the real income of, students is not. For most students the 7.5 percent tuition increase will come into effect in September. The way to defeat this and the 10 percent optional increase for universities is to refuse to pay any fee increase during registration. We should begin work on our campus now and encourage other campuses across Ontario to participate in a fee-strike with us. 2. A good student president not only needs experience but- a practical program to defend students’ interests and fight the tuition fee increases and cutbacks in education spending. My campus experience includes the following: secretary to the hnvironmental Studies Society (1976); secretary to the Board of Entertainment (1976); Campus Centre Board Rep (19751976); Student Awards Committee Rep (1976-1977); Students’ Council Rep for Environmental Studies (1976-1977); activist for fhe free chevron (1976-1977); Chevron staff member (1977-present); and Chevron Club meFber (1980). My experience in student politics coupled with my program.will provide good leadership for students at UW. 3. The Campus Centre provides g useful student service. The Board is run as a department by the administration and therefore will be hit by cutbacks in educations as other departments. But students should run the Campus Centre and should be able to determine how money will be disbursed. 1 am in favour of allowing the turnkeys to use any profits from the games room _-.to subsidize their cutbacks. 4. I propose that student services be given more money to increase and expand their programs. The bus service, 1.egal resource centre, and Fed- flicks ,provide a good ‘service to students and/ they should be upgraded. 5. The Ontario Federation of Students is a sell-out brganization. Over the past eight years it has done nothing for students
Federatiti’n of Student’s fee increas’e. Students must remain united in the difficult times ahead, but OFS, the Fedxation, and the Societies must play a more active role on cutbacks. I propose that the Board of External Relations, the Committee of Society Presidents, Imprint and all other campus groups take a more active role in promoting upward communication on all aspects of cutbacks to ensure that OFS and the Federation will take the direction which best serves the student interest. Housing has always been a problem and has become increasingly worse, for students in the past year due to a number of fires. You may wonder why it is a problem when you consider the fact that the city of Waterloo and its residents be’nefit greatly in economic terms free the influx of st’udents at two universities. But the City persists in allowing individuals to rent accommodation which does not meet fire department and public health standards. This is especially true of rooming houses where a student is only one of a number of residents and is rarely successful in disputing a complaint wit% his landlord through the proper channels. Landlords are well aware of this fact which leaves the student defenseless. Sure, th_e-City has bylaws regarding this type of accommodation, but the onus is on the landlord to provide proper housing. The City of Waterloo prefers not to get involved in any landlord-tenant disputes, which means it is not prepared to enforce housing bylaws. - I propose that the Federation of Students increase its services in this area to off campus students. To do this, the leadership of the Federation should make Waterloo City Council aware of the m-any problems and general discontent of students concerning housing in an effort to make the city fulfil1 its obligation by licensing rooming houses. The Federation must also convince our housing office to keep substandard houses and bad landlords off the housing lists until such time as the landlord has rectified the problems with the proper city officials. The Campus Centre is our student Fentre and serves as the focal point of our
other than research and analyze pending tuition increases, and beg the government to stop cutbacks. They discourage student strikes andademonstrations and insist that we leave everything up to them - and thereby take the initiative out of our hands. I don’t think we should give OFS one single penny.
6.. Students
currently aren’t involved in the Federation because it does nothing other than provide a few services. The hacks in- the Federation have is&ted themselves (from the .student population and have become a very bureaucratic clique. Once the Federation actively takes up the defence of the’students ggainst 6 attacks from the governmenf, students will naturally become more involved in the Federation. . 7. It is ideal that pubs be held on campus, however, until the adminiaration decides to reduce the cost of renting the facilities at South Campus Hall, it seems only wise to rent off-campus facilities that are not only cheaper but better. 8. The campus clubs have not only been afflicted by an extensive decrease in their budgets; but they are constantly being harassed by the Federation. The Federation is forever meddling in their affairs. I feel that the Federation should relinquish some of its dictatorial control and allow the clubs to freely run good entertainment and other programs on campus. More often than not the dances and pubs sponsored by the various clubs are run more efficiently and are better attended than the Federation’s extravanganzas. 9. Off-campus students can be a/ssisted by the Federation in the form of better s&vices. The Federation could dffer an efficient housing service at the beginning of each term; assist off-campus students with any landlord/tenant problems: and where possible provide a shuttle bus service to areas that have large student concentrationsI eg. Sunnydale. I am running for UW Federation president on a four-point program: 1) We should fight the pending tuition *
Student commu_nity. It is the only building on campus that students can in any way call their own. In the late sixties, students worked hard to ensure their control of the buiding. Over the past decade the Campus Centre Board has made decisions on its services and functions. The present problem, which all students should be concerned with, is that the Campus Centre Board’s decision making power is being fundamentally interfered with by University President Burt Matthews. He is insisting that the CC cut back by $5000.00, which should come directly out df the turnkeys’ salaries. The CCB has acknowledged that it is not abdve cutbacks but that it can afford to make up this amount through the profits from the has rejected games room. Dr. Matthews fhis solution. ’ If $5000.00 is to come o& of, the turnkeys’ salaries, the building will have to’ be closed over the Christmas break and, the three week period between the summer and fall terms. It is vital that the CC remain open during these periods in --order to provide services-to students who are returning to the city in order to find a place to live and get settled. This cutback will also mean a reduction in daytime services and/._or &sing the building at night, which totally disregards the community centre aspect of the CC. Its functions should not be dictated by economics, especially when the CCB is willing to pay the $5,000 to ensure that the CC remains open. Before anyone starts talking about building a new pub and h&ding a refekendum to decide whether or not there can be a compulsory pub fee, the Federation students must fully support the efforts of the Campus Centre Board to exercise their decisionmaking power. We, as students, must decide the destiny of the Campus Centre, not the administratidn. Students must also realize that the administration will ultimately decide, whether or not ariy new buildings will be built. It is highly unlikely that they will favour such a move. ‘Therefore we must reaffirm our control of the Campus Centre and -then look towards a re-negotiation of space.
hike by refusing to pay it. 2) We should vote NO on the fee increaseto the student sell-outs in Ontario Federation of Students. 3) The Federation should give more money and assistance to student clubs and services on campus and spend less money on extravagant concerts an-d pubs. 4) We should pay close attention io national and international affairs. The Federation should take pas-itions against the cuts in unemployment benefits, the war preparations of the world superpowers and other matters of great importance to our future. As students we face anumber of serious problems next year which call for a very active respotise by the Federation. A tuition hike of at ‘least 7.5% or higher will most probably come into effect in May. According to the Ontario government, this hike is needed to meet the higher costs of education. I know, costs are going up, but most of us simply can’t afford to pay more. We aren’t to blame for inflation, and we shouldn’t have to pay for it. The big multinationals, like the oil monopolies with their high profits, should pay a lot more! for t/he education of students, because many studentslater become their employees. The big multinationals benefit the most from educated students and can afford to pay.Currently, they only pay 11 percent, of the educational costs while students and their parents are payng close to 60%. The main question thqugh is HOW we can fight the hike. A big demonstration at Queen’s Park would be good, but we couldn’t win sim ly by raising our voices. We have- to ta %e action to change the situation. I think ,that we can defeat the hike by refusing to pay-it at registration time; just pay last year’s amount. B enough students at -UW and across Ontario hold a fee-hike strike, the government will have to yield. If elected, - I will work to organize a successful strike against the fee hike. The Ontario Federation of Students pretends to oppose the cutbacks and tuition hike, but all they ever actually do is attend tea parties with government offiL
Although there may not be a strong. senge of community among U of W students, we nevertheless are a community. Many diffuse interests have come together through the positive lead of the Board of Entertainment. It has created a co-operative spirit among the Federation societies and other groups. I do not feel entertainment should be a priority for the President because the Federation has the sevices of a competent full-time entertainment co-ordinator. To increase this co-operative spirit, I recommend that the Board of Education follow BENT’s lead to further educational activities. This move should be reflected in the Federation’s budget so that societies and the Federation can work together to bring to campus interesting and rele_vant speakers. I feel that I am a candidate worthy of your support, for many reasons. I am currently the President of the Arts Student Union and &as Treasurer in 1978-79. These continued on page 14

cials and MPPs and tell everyone they’re staging a lobby. They say: “Leave everything to us, don’t do anything on your own” and then ask us to pay for it. Then , they go around saying that the government has its “blinders on” and doesn’t realize how cutbacks hurt students. The government is well aware of how cutbacks hurt students - they have all the records. 1,don’t think we should give these sell-outs another peony. Their line on cutbacks merely assists the government. ” The operations of the Federation need to be reformed: Most of all, student clubs should be given morF>money to support their activities, and less money should be spent on extravagant entertainment. The Fedkration interference in the internal affairs of c-lubs’should cease, and all clubs should be treated on an equal basis. This means tha$ the Federation should recogl nize the Chevron club and any other club that is run democratically. In addition, the continued

The definite highlight of the eveningiand what most people came to hear, was principal cellist I’fan Williams who was the soloist in Benjamin Britten’s “Symphony for Violoncello and Orchestra, op.68.” Although a work for a solo instrument supported by a full orchestra is normally called a concerto, Britten denoted the work as a symphony to stress the unity of the instruments rather than the competition between the cello and the orchestra. Williams was simply superb.

ymphony’ wThe most questionable offerins was the first, Bach’s infinished “Art of the Fugue,” which was his last composition before he died in 1750. Bach had not indicated the instruments to be used in the piece. As orchestrated from a piano duet by conductor bffi Armenian and as played by the Stratford Ensemble which made up the core of the orchestra, the brief piece was surprisingly unsatisfying. The ensemble didn’t seem to know,wh$ to do with it. The horns were consistently harsh and the stringed instruments were weak and thin. The flowing counterpoint, so typical of Bach,, was lost under the stress of uncertainty. Although Armenian produced an interest’ing blend of instruments, his direction was dragging and heavy.

MermaidTheat,re’s \ It can be very -informative to listen to audience reactions to a play during intermission and when the show is over. This time, everyone was saying either “I loved it, it was so different,” or “Well, it was different, you have to say that for it” in delighted or dubious t&es. Like most “new, ” “innovative” works, the Mermaid Theatre’s production of The Nayig&or, a puppet play- for adults, has its when everything meshes and moments, charms the viewer and moments of incredible ~ tedium. The play, written by Evelyn Garbary and directed by Felix Mirbt, tells the story of St. Brendan’s 6th century voyage from Ireland to the “Promised Land of the Saints” Newfoundland, of all places. No one is sure if this voyage ever really took place or whether it is just a legend, but in any case this account of it is well-written and contains enough background material to inform viewers without’ overwhelming them 4th dates and names. The main problem with the script, though, is the lack of suspense and tension. It’s really just an itiner@ of the islands visited 05 the way to the Promised Land. The monks meet with many dangers, none of which seem real. The show ends with a wimper too, trailing aimlessly off at Brenaan’s death. The production is just over an hour and a half long, including intermission, but seems longer because the time is not always used properly. I overheard someone say he liked &e second act twice as much as the first because it was half as long. The large puppets used in the play &e striking. About three feet tall, they are made from polyurethane foam and driftwood. In their long coarse robes, with beaky-nosed, craggy faces, Brendan and his monks loo% like little men carved from rock. Unlike traditional, Punch and Judy type puppets, these arenoe? controlled by invisible puppeteers, but rather- by a group- of actors who take turns manipulating the puppets, singing,, narrating the story and providing music and sound effects. The actors, one woman and seven men, animate the puppets with great skill. The monks’ movements usually manage to look convincing despite the fact that the audience can always see- the actors’ arms moving to control t&m. Besides singing and narrating, these, talented actors take turns acting out the characters met along the way - devils, sea monsters, hilarious giant mice, the ghost of Judas Iscariot. Like the old TV show “Story Theatre,” th2 Mermaid uses very few props. A dog who really is a devil is suggested by a head and a shapeless red cloth body. Crates become rocks, banquet tables, monsters. Often these suggestions-are as convincing as a stage full of real objects would be. It’s hard to find fault with any of the actors: all are highly polished in mine, singing and acting. Most of the difficulties lie with the script. It’s irreverant humour is charming in scenes like the one where a monk throws the contents of his (invisible) wine glass at a clumsy servant, or where another monk, unable to scale a rocky slope, kneels and prays and then floats ever so

For iost of last Friday’s KW Symphony concert at Hagey Hall the audience was at a loss to know how to respond. The first half of the pragramme, according to conductor “is experimental, to j inRaff i Armenian, trigue you.” Whether or not it - was intriguing is difficult to judge. Without a _ doubt the audience was surprised and puzzle-d; the music was novel.

As rumours of the famed Listowel Lemur hung in the air this week, FASS amateurs and veterans alike took turns at enticing it into their nets. Methods included (I to R) the“Look, there’sa hairy macaw in thatgibbet!“, my hip again and I’ll blow this “I’ve just eaten my thumb. I”, and “Dislocate ’ , leech whistle!” approaches, but whbt finally got it was the announcement that FASS ‘80 will hit th9 Theatre of the Arts this Feb. 6,7,8 and 9 with its production, “Days of Futljre FASS.” The Lemur promised to attend the IO:00 Friday show.

Gardendoncert: Aerosmith (Maple Leaf Gardens, Night In The Ruts ~ (Columbia)
In Concert
Jan. 11)
Ten years is a long time for a band to bang its _collective head against the unappreciative, uncompromising doors of an M.O.R.-iented, schmuck-loving, North American air-wave oligarchy-Play what the people want, or go play with yourself. Fine. For Aerosmith, it has been an uphill battle and though they’ve been headlining the major coliseum catastrophes for the last three or four years, most people still file “Arenashit” (Thanx, Creem) away with the other denizens of cacophony (presided over by the rt. dishonorable, T. Nugent), or what’s worse,glorify them with a berth in the schmuck-soup market with other impotent M.O.R.-tists, such as Boston, Foreigner, Styx, Toto, EL0 and I could go on for ever. So what’s different about Aerosmith, huh? Well, you poor misguided clones of an opportunistic, aggrandizing, buck-making record industry (Clash and Pistol fans excepted), it all comes down to a state of mind or more specifically attitude, rock ‘n roll attitude. Attitude is when a band can’t get a booking in their home town, sets up their equipment on the front .lawn of Boston University, and plays

Marc Jordan Blue Desert (Warner Brothers)
Blue Desert, a 1979 release by Marc Jordan, radiates a certain vagueness from its phosphorescent album cover. As with most cover art these days, the conscious attempt at absurdity is present. Logic is lacking; where is the connection; symbolic or otherwise, between a silvery fish, a lone roll of film and a - sun-struck man?
Aerosmith

The
train
free of charge for whoever, whenever. Attitude is when a band bounces back after their first album is ‘unanimously acclaimed, “the most wretchedly produced album of the decade” (Thanx, Adrian Barber). Attitude is when a band stages a ninety minute-plus, kick-ass, no frills rock show only a month after losing their whiz-bang lead guitarist/singer/songwriter (Good-by Dr. J). I was certain that, having previously ‘experienced’ Aerosmith on five occasions, the sixth would hold few genuinely exhilirating moments. Perhaps it was the floor seats, twenty rows from the stage (Thanx, Leslie), or maybe it was my capricious hankering to see how they would ‘operate’ with a new lead ; guitarist (Jimmy Crespo), better yet, maybe it was because I went straight to the concert; 1’ whatever, it was an evening of rock ‘n roll *sublimity. The lights go out and immediately all verbalization diverts from meandering garble to startled screams of anticipatory madness. A multitude of tiny ignitions, solitary flames, speckle the walls and floor of the Gardens (Christ, the sixth time and my leg’s ‘shaking as if it-alone suffered from epilepsy). A deafening, pulsating, electric throb reverberates off the walls from a source most assuredly situated ‘behind the ominous black curtain enshrouding

the stage. The curtain rises concurrently with the volume of the pulse (a sour&which might be heard inside a submarine injected with bensedrine). The band members appear, poised, motionless. Tyler is bent perpendicular at the waist, head cocked to one side, loose hair and , f’ garments fluttering in an artificial wind, hands stretched out in front grasping his phallic mike
again. Through an inaudible metamorphosis the voluminous pulse transforms into the opening bars of “Back in the Saddle”, and just when you think the 01’ JBL’s are gonna jump off their moorings, the guitars cut, Tyler emerges from his trance and screams, “How appropriate. The rest is rock ‘n roll history. \ , At- -least 7’ -_-five-- cuts from the new album, mght in the Ruts, have been included in the 80’s tour, and when you get past the punRight in the Nuts-you’ll be well on your way towards, appreciating this disc. It’s raw and gutsy, the way Aerosmith used to be, before fame and fortune gilded the tips of their roachclips, back when the only platinum in their lives was the whitish-haired women who sold them snow-cones with sterling silver straws. “Reefer Headed Woman,” a slow burning blues number, “Mia,” one of the few, precious Aerosmith ballads and “Remember (Walking in the Sand),” the closest thing to an AM pacifier, are the only aberrations from the archetypical, kicklass, boogie Aerosmith -sound on this album. An album for those who can still take it on the chin, from a group who can still deliver it right where it hurts, night in the ruts. M. Drew
that only the most ardent sea creature could’ reach. Perhaps here is where the significance of the fish comes in. If you are one who appreciates understanding to come at an attainable surface level, 3 disregard this album. If, however, you are partial to the “light and easy” sound, do listen. With appropriate mellowness, Jordan serenades in a voice noted with Billy Joel and Paul Simon influences. There is a redeeming quality ’ here though. Jordan’s mellowness doesn’t get tiring; it just sort of fades into the obscure background, making things like meaningful conversation happen with ease.
Cook
and “If You Think You Kno,w How to.Love Me.” The latter, easily the finest effort on the record, strikes me as a Springsteen-type teenage anthem. The production of the album is standard, and the musicianship of the band is no better ( than adequate. There seems to me no doubt that Benatar’s voice is the focal point of this album. Unfortunately, ‘the-flaws are just as apparent as Benatar’s vocal strength. Songs like “We Live for Love” (how banal can a title get?) and “Rated X” sound like a. pseudoBlondie and Cars synthesis that just doesn’t work. On the whole though, a good album and about the best I’ve heard in this musical vein.

Friday,
Ed Kufek f
My pick for the red-neck flop of the year. This album is guaranteed to thoroughly annoy even the most wasted Z Z Top patriots. Looks like the 01’ beer drinkers and hell raisers have been washin’ down peyote buttons with their Southern Special, ‘cause this disc is as laid back and out-of-touch as a Mexican at highnoon, or is that high at noon? When Billy, Dusty and Frankie finally do spring (to life on “Hi Fi Mama” and ‘She Loves my Automobile”, the jolt is hardly repercussive - it’s all been done before, better. The only semipotent track on this disc is an Isaac Hayes/David Porter composition entitled “I Thank You.” Tl’es Hombres and Fandango contain the last vital signs of life from the “Mexican Blackbird” roost and unless the “La Grange” boys pull up their chaparejos, they’re destined to become the late, great Texans.

Pat Benatar In the Heat of the Night (Chrysalis)
Pat Benatar, with this, her first album, joins a group of female vocalists who have been until recent months neglected by radio stations and record companies alike. Although her musical and vocal stylings are very similar to those of counterparts Ellen Foley and Carolyne Mas, the distinguishing feature lies in the fact that ’ Pat Benatar has talent. Her voice can be smooth as silk on songs like “Don’t Let it Show”, the only mellow song on the album, but she seems more at home with a marvelous emotionally torn vocal sound found on cuts like “In the Heat of the Night”

On the other hand, there were feet. Many close-up shots of feet, in motion and still. At first, these shots seem rather pointless. When we find out their significance, however, they merely seem silly. To those whoiare still paying attention, in any case. The subtitles were a lit-tie disconcerting, to say the least. If you’ve ever seen a parody of foreign films, you’ll be familiar with the scene where one character speaks passionately for a couple‘of minutes to another, only to have the speech translated at the bottom of the screen by one or two words. That happened many times_ during the course of the movie. (The dialogue itself was pretty trite, but I cannot be certain whether that was the fault of the subtitles of the original author.) In my opinion, the short subject shown before the film, although far shorter, was far more entertaining (and, no, I am not referring to the latest chapter in the serial called The Indiaps are Coming!) It was a National Film Board of Canada shqrt entitled Why Me? A man is walking through a corridor, on his way to see his doctor. WS see the doctor looking at an X-ray, shaking his head sadly and muttering something to himself as h‘e lights up the latest cigarette in his chain. The man is ushered into his office. “I’m afraid I have to tell you,” the doctor says, “That you are going to die.” “Oh?” the man, seriously, asks. “When?” The doctor looks at his watch. “In ... five minutes,” he says. Why Me?is very funhy. Over and abqve this, it shows (in very fast-motion) many of the emotional stages which people with a terminal illness go through, beginning with the initial reaction of treating the *‘whole thing like a joke. The patient, coming to realize th& it is no joke, proceeds to get angry at the doctor, and, realizing’that that is futile, directs his anger towards Fate. After a short wallow in self pity, he will momentarily become hopeful of-finding a cure for his condition. That hope being snuffed, he will finally come to the point where he wants to get as much out of what life is left to him. “I’ve only got thirty,seconds left to live,” the patient says at the end of the movie, “And I intend to live every sedond of it!” The NFB is a vastly under-rated film-making body, which annually puts out some of the most delightfully short subjects in the world. Why Me? was certainly the saving grace of that evening. ’ If only I could talk somebody into running an evening of NFB shorts... \

Peterborough m%bably pleased: disappoints FrAchnqaG How Tasty was My Frenchman, despite rumours to the contrary, promised to be an interesting film about cannabalism. When I was first assigned to review the movie, I armed myself with a complete battery of possible the jokes (ie - “I thought that;-despite excessive nudity, the movie was tastefully done. “) Imagine my disappointment, then, when I arrive at the Humanities Theatre ready to see the latest entry scheduled in the International Film Festival and find that it has been sent to Peterborough through some mistake on the part of the distributor and that it is being replaced by Viridianna by Ltiis Bunuel. No cannabal jokes! No double-entendr’es or jokes containing inueddo! Instead, I am forced to write a Serious review: Watching Viridianna was a puzzling event; at times, ihe movie was fascinating, at times pretensious, at times silly. Ultimately, it proved to be a failure (not even glorious). The story revolved around Viridianna, a young lady planning on becoming a,.nun, who is invited to her uncle’s estate before @king her final vows. She goes, and immediately captures the heart of her host (who sees her as the image of his dead‘wife). She must abruptly put an end to his fantasies, however, by soon returning to the convent (I am obviously skipping a lot.) The man decides hb must stop her from leaving at all costs, so, with the aid of his faithful housek4epe3, he drugs Viridianpa. In her sleep, she is taken back to her room by her uncle, where he begins to rape her, decides better of it and Folemnly walks out. He claims t6havk raped her anyway; if her , makes her believe that she has lost her virginity, the’n she will believe that she is ineligible to become a nun, and, by his logic, stay. Viridianna accepts this news as well-as could be expected; she walks out on him very, very angrily. Sorrowfully, he kills himself. And that is only the first half of the film! There are some effective moments in the’ ’ movie: Viridianna is forced, by the police, to stay during the investigation into her uncle’s ‘death. Once, she has calmed down, she realizes that she is in no position to return to the convent; thus, in his death the man accomplished what he couldn’t in his life. Or: the man hangs himself from a tree with tl& same skipping rope which he gave to the daughter of his housekeeper. Soon after his death, the child is seen skipping with it under the tree from which he is hung. Irony: “He always-liked to watch me play!“she explains to horrified adults.

JuliusSchmidmakesthe mostpopularbrands t -ofcondomsin Canada.. :;; . ’ Soih wouldwewrttoialktoyou -/-aboutcl hermethodsof CcMtraception? Because ‘we’re concerned. ’ The response to the advertisements we have been running has made us aware that there is still a surprising lack of knowledge among young people about the various methods of contraception. This is supported by a Statistics Canada report on the alarming increase in unwanted pregnancies among young women in the 16 to 24 age bracket. What we plan to do in this adveitisement is give you an honest and objective look at other methods of contraception. fi We will consider the advantages and disadvantages of each and leave you, the reader, to make up your own mind which method you prefer. Space limitations make it impossible for us to go into minute detail. So for further information, we strongly recommend that you contact your local physician, pharmacist or family planning clinic.
The Diaphragm -
The diaphragm is a soft rubber cup which“fits’ into the vagina to cover the cervix (the opening to the uterus, or womb). It comes in various sizes and requires both a prescription and initial fitting by a doctor or trained nurse. To be effective, the diaphragm must be used in conjunction with a spermicidal jelly or cream applied to all sides of the cup and to its rim. Additional applications of the spermicidal jelly or cream are needed if intercourse is delayed-by several hours, or is repeated prior to the removal of the diaphragm. The diaphragm must be left in place for at least six hours after sexual contact. It can be left for as long as twenty-four hours, after which it should be removed, washed and dried. With, correct use, the contraception rate for the diaphragm is very good. It is safe to use and produces no unwanted side effects.
Contraceptive
some doctors recommend use of a spermicidal foam or cream in conjunction with the IUD -especially during midcycle when conception is most likely to occur. This approach means that the IUD loses one of its most attractive features: the fact that it requires little effort and is unrelated to the sex act. Like all other rjnethods, the IUD has its drawbacks. Some users spontaneously expel the device. In other cases, excessive bleeding and cramping or other side effects make its removal necessary. The IUD is not recommended for women who have pelvic inflammatory disease or any abnormality of the uterus or a history of painful or heavy periods or cancer of the cervix or uterus.
Sterilization Male vasectomy is a simple surgical technique (only a local anesthetic is required) which involves cutting the ducts that carry sperm into the ejaculate . Following vasectomy, a couple should use some other method of contraception until two consecutive tests show that no sperm remain in the ejaculate. Many doctors advise a repeat of the test six to twelve months later to ensure that the ducts have not grown back together. Female sterilization (or tubal ligation) in,volves cutting the Fallopian tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. It is a some-what more complicated procedure than vasectomy. Although brief hospitalization is usually required, new and simplified techniques make it possible to carry out the operation in a hospital-based clinic without overnight hospitalization. The rare failures occur when the tubes manage to grow back together.
Chemicals
Contraceptive
foams, jellies, creams, foaming tablets and suppositories work in much the same way. That is, by establishing a mechanical barrier to the sperm and/or by directly killing the sperm on contact. They must be inserted into the vagina before intercourse and reapplied with each subsequent sexual act. Suppositories (the least effective) require about fifteen minutes to dissolve; foaming tablets re: quire five. Spermitidal foams, creams and iellies are effective immediately. In all cases douching should be avoided for at least six hours after intercourse. Side effects are infrequent, although some women and some men find that chemicals cause an-irritating burning sensation during intercourse or discomfort afterwards.
Douching Although the method has been in use for centuries, douching with plain water, soap, or chemicals is very ineffective. In faCtj it’s only slightly better than taking no precautions at all.
Rhythm The condom
The Pill The pill, taken by women once a day-for twentyone or twenty-eight consecutive days, is designed to prevent ovula%ion. If no egg -- is released, conce&ion cannot occur. Most of the pills available tobav contain a combination of two female sex hormones in synthetic formestrogen and progesterone. The pill’s main drawback is the side effects that some women experience. Minor side effects like nausea, spotting or breakthrough bleeding, bloating and breast tenderness are fairly common but usually subside after a few months. The pill is also sometimes associated with weight gain and, to a lesser degree, weight loss; with minor but irritating vaginal infections, headaches, depression, and an increased need for vitamins Be and B12. So far as serious side effects are concerned, it is’known that women taking the pill run four to seven times the risk of developing blood clots and nearly eight times the risk of dying as a result of a-clot which lodges in a vital organ. -Becent evidence suggests that the risk of developing a stroke (an extremely rare condition among women of c 3 child-bearing age) is increased i ‘F .’ nine-fold. Because the risk is f-ii r greatest with wo+men who smoke cigarettes, it is strongly recommended that women over 30 should either stop smoking or use another method of birth control.
The condom is second only in popularity to the pill as a method of birth control. A thin sheath usually made of rubber or animal JP-------\ skin, it is put over the erect penis to catch the Semi-Shupe ejaculate. For maximum effectiveness, the condom Q should be used before intercourse to prevent any Reservoir end escape of semen in foreplay1 It’s also important to withdraw the penis while still erect to nrevent Sensi-Shape Ribbed spillage of semen. The effectiveness of the condom, like the diaphragm, varies with the user. The condom’s only disadvantage is that it must be used at the time of intercourse, requiring interruption of lovemaking. On the plus side, it is easy to use, perfectly safe and offers protection against the transmission of venereal-disease. It can be purchased at the drug store without a doctor% prescription.

The most common and most accurate method is the charting of the woman’s basic body temperature which must be taken with a special thermometer each morning before she gets out of bed.

The IUD is a small device usually made of plastic or metal, or a combination of both, which a gynecologist places inside the uterus where it remains for as long as contraception is desired. Aside from checking after menstruation to be sure the device has not ~been excelled, little more needs to be done. How the IUD works is still unclear. The current school of thought believes that the device sets up a chemical state which incapacitates the sperm or the egg; or. that its placement in the bady speeds up the movement of ’ the ovum (egg) so that it passes through the tube before becoming fertilized.

Memorial
Bursaries
\
On Saturday, January 19, 1980 at half time of the Sixth Annual Mike Moser’Memorial Basketball Game, three Mike Moser Memorial Bursaries were awarded to three UW students. The Maser Bursaries are awarded to third or fourth year university students in financial need who have an exemplary academic record and who have achieved a high level of accomplishment in extra-curricular activities. The 1980 recipients were Don Langlois, Peter Muirhead and Ann Samson. ’ Don Langlois is the current Captain on ,the UW Warrior Hockey Team. He has led the Warriors in scoring for the past two seasons. He was an OUAA Western Division All Star last season. -Don has played intramural sports for Renison College. He has served on the Men’s Intercollegiate Council. He is in fourth year Kinesiology. Peter Muirhead is a member of the Warriors wrestling He has also part,ic\ team. ipated with the Warrior Rugby team. His efforts in helping with the coaching of the wrestling team, his participation as a rugby player and as an executive of the UW Rugby Club and his Chairmanship of the Men’s Intercollegiate Council all help in strengthening the UW Athletic Program. Peter is studying Math. Ann Samson, another Mathematics student, is currently recovering from knee surgery. Last year, she won the Overail CIAU All Round Gymnastic Championship. Ann has assisted in the -coaching of the Athena Gymnastic team in past years and she is assisting again-this season. She has participated in many clinics, seminars and the popular UW Junior Olympits program.
Gymnastics “We did much better than I thought we would do,” said Kevin Eby, the Head Coach of the Athena Gymnastic team. “We have had such a
problem with injuries this year, that we are having a hard time to field a good, complete team. “On Saturday (January 19) we took only three girls to Queen’s for their invitational meet. All three finished sixth or better in the overall competition. “Bonnie Cairns competed in the Junior category. She, was second in the vault, fifth in the floor exercises and sixth in the beam, finishing fifth .in the all round classification. “Karen Nakagawa also competed in the Junior category. She came fourth in the bars, third in the beam and sixth in the floor exercise. In the all round classification, Karen was sixth. “Roseanne Herrmann was our entry in the senior category. She was sixth in the beam and sixth in the all round competition. “A lot of our competitors are out on their workterms. It’s kind of hard to get everyone together for workouts. “I’ve been pleasantly surprised with our showing so far this season. I didn’t expect that much so early in the season. ’ “We will be entering five competitors in the Western Meet this coming week. All of these preliminary meets are preparing us for the OWIAA Championship, Feb. 16, 1980 at York.”

Rick is a 3rd year Kinesiology student, also in his third year as the Warriors’ starting goaltender. In his first sea.son, Rick was voted by his team mates as the team’s Rookie of the Year, then last year the players voted him
the team’s MVP along with Don Langlois. Rick was an OUAA all-star last season and should rank very high again this year. He has started all but one of the team’s league games this year and has had 38 goals scored on him in 12 games, for a goals against average of 3.15 goals/game, which is exceptional in OUAA competition. Not the biggest in physical stature, Rick makes up for that by his very aggressive play at all times. Youngsters could learn a great deal by watching him. He is a very good skater and handles the puck with his stick like a forward.
Basketball The fans were treated to exciting basketball action last Friday between the Athenas and Queen’s. Just one point behind for part of the second half, Waterloo dropped the decision 72 to 68. Coach Sally Kemp was not happy with the game. There were too many basic fundamental errors, and the defence was awful. UW had a lot of problems boxing out under the boards. Not able to grab the rebounds, it cost them points’, and ultimately the game. However, their shooting average was good, scoring 45% of field goals attempted.
Queen’s was in good control in the first half, and shot accurately from the foul line. In the second half, they got into foul trouble with their starters, but continued to play well and shoot wel I. The Athenas play their next, home game Friday, February 1, at 8:OOpm against the University of Toronto.

The Warriors played shorthanded for 22 minutes during the game. According to coach Bob McKillop the “referee% became a little over-officious. Despite the manpower advantages, Laurentian was unable to score on the powerplay. “Defensively, . we played a very fine hockey game,” said McKillop, of the Warriors who were outshot 28-17. Much credit for the point has to go to Rick Nickelchock, the Warrior goalie who made at least five outstanding stops. NickeIcEock’s efforts were recognized as he was selected as UW’s male athlete of the week. Against Ryerson Nickelchok was again called upon for some important work as he made four or five great saves.
Trailing 1-O after the first period, the Warriors jumped into a 2-l lead on goals by Ted Kewley and Ed Azolla. Ryerson tied the game early in the third period before Randy Neal scored the eventual winner. Bill Lang iced the game with 2 minutes remaining. In London, Barry Reynard scored with 14 seconds left on the clock and the goal tender on the bench to pull the Warriors back into the tie. The Warriors were leading 5-3 in the second period but gave up what coach McKillop felt were “2 really bad goals”. Twice Western went into the lead in the third period only to have the Warriors come back. Waterloo now has a 2

Guelph hasn’t got that good of a team. And that’s the way that we played, not very well at all. “All week our practices weren’t very sharp. We just didn’t get ready. Maybe some of our players were thinking past the Guelph game to some of the other tough ’ matches that we’ll be facing. “One positive aspect of the match which was encouragH ing was the play of two of our rookies, Mike Hanson #and Dave Stocks. They both came off the bench and played well. As a matter of fact, they played much better than some of our veteran players.,

Did YOU i ‘make the list?
.
Better check. If your name is on the Voters’ List, no problem. Ifit isn’t, and you areeligible to vote, it’s up to you to get it on. Here’s how.
Firstly, your campus may be having a special enumeration. Check 5 the billboards. If it does - you’re in business; \ If not, you’ll have to get an appointment with a revising officer sometime between January 25 and %‘ebruary4. This can be arranged by calling your Liberal campaign headquarters or your returning officer. If you’re living away from home, you may vote in your school residence riding, providing you meet certain criteria. If you must vote in your home riding, you can have a relative or an employer act as your representative in having your name entered on the electoral list in that riding. In either case, check with the 9 local Liberal campaign office or the local Returning Officer.
-
If you intend tovote in your school residenceriding, it’s up to you to get your own name on the electoral list by making an appointment with an agent of the revising officer as mentioned above. What if.you won’t be free to vote on election day? As long as your name is on the voters’ list, you could ’ go to an advance poll or to the returning officer during one of the days specified. Still can’t make it? Just appoint another elector, whose name appears on the same voters’ list as yours, to be your proxy vote and , ~ apply for a proxy certificate as soon aspossible and no later &an lO:O@I?M.on the Friday before the election. A written statement from the registrar at your school stating that you have a valid reason to apply for a proxy , certificate must accompany that application. \ If you have any further questions, the Ontario New Liberals will be glad to help. We’re the Official Youth Wing of the Ontario Liberal Party and the Liberal Party of Canada (Ontario). ‘C ’
:‘Doug Willoughby has been playing well for us in the offensive portion of our game. John Kervin has been playing well defensively for us. “Our next match will be our big one. It will be at home in the PAC building. If we win that one, we’ll probably be the host site for the overall OUAA Volleyball Championship. “For that February 2 match against McMaster, we hope that we’ll have some fans out. to the game. It should really help to turn - us *‘on. It’s surprising what a crowd can do for the performers. In Guelph, even though they haven’t got that good of a team, they still had quite a few fans on hand for our match.” The Feb. ’ 2 match with McMaster will start at 2:00
