Fe-d-occt$ers At 10:30 am, July 16th, a group of about ten students * occupied ‘the Federation of Students office, insisting that they would not leave until Federation President Neil Freeman called an extraordinary general meettng to discuss the Fee Hike Strike issue.

Students splitting -

July

Ross Brown 1B Computer Science As for the general principle of occupying an office I’m very displeased with the result it had, such as closing the Federation services. I’m sure -the Committee knew the Federation would have to retaliate somehow.

These days, it would seem that the motto of the Federation of Students, rather than being “Students Serving Students” should be “Students Splitting Students”. If things get any worse, there will be as differing opinions as there are students on campus! The situation began almost immediately upon the arrival of the new Executive. Representatives of the faculty of Engineering requested money for repairs to the garage which it ran and for a housing project which, although administered by the engineers, would hopefully be taken over by the Federation, giving benefit to all of the students at the university. Due to opposition from the Executive (in particular, President Neil Freeman), neither of these worthwhile requests were met by Council. This served not only to alienate the Engineering Representatives from the rest of Council but Engineering stvdentsfromCounci1 and the other faculties. The issue of a fee hike strike has always been pretty simple. It was Freeman himself who pointed OI& that the Federation is dedicated to universal accessibility to post-secondary education and free tuition, to the startled silence of Councillors. A fee hikestrikeseemed, at one point, a reasonable measure to take in opposition to the recent fee increases. There was, of course, a slight polarization of students opinion on the issue, but this is only natural when such a major step is being enteredinto. Thus, the second polarizing factor enters the picture: the (Ad Hoc) Committee to Support the Fee Hike Strike. They advocated telling Bette Stephenson, Minister of Colleges and Universities, and Bill Davis, Premier of Ontario, “No we won’t pay!” way, and attacked the

students

individuals responsible for the fee increase. This separated those radically opposed to the fee hike from those whose vieivs \vere more moderate. Further, this added a tone of contempt for legitimate authority (the Ontario government) which the Federation did not want in its cutbacks campaign. It was obvious that the Committee to Support the Fee Hike Strike and the Federation of Students were not working towards precisely the same goal; it was only natural, then, that when the Committee asked to be recognizedby the Federation and to have its expenses (which it claimed came out of the pockets of Committee members) reimbursed, it was refused. The latest developments in the melodrama make the clearest case in point to date. Having failed to get quorum at a Council meeting, the Board of Directors of the Federation decided to pull out of the fee hike strike. In retaliation, the Committee to Support the Fee Hik,e Strike occupied the Federationoffices in order to get the Executive to hold an Extraordinary General Meeting. Further to this, the Federation shut down the campus shop, record store, post office, used bookstore, scoops, legal resource and birth control centres. An Extraordinary General Meeting (or, for that matter, a regular General Meeting) should be held. Forget both the Federation of Students and the Committee to Support the Fee Hike Strike; it’s about time the students had a say in their destiny. Hopefully, arguments would be settled one way or anot her and we cotild go back to calmly quaffing beers in the Grad Club and enjoying what’s left of the summer. ha Nayman

pol-

itics is generally ineffective at this sort of thing; it should be done in a very simple way like having a referendum to decide the issue.

The central issue evolving out of the occupation of the Federation offices is not the fee hike strike; nor is it the legality of Bylaw 21. It is not the political leanings of the occupants. The issue, is ethics. Since June 22, Neil Freeman’s actions have plainly illustrated that he lacks that sense of duty to one’s consitutents that is so essential in a political leader. The consideration of a rescission of the Fee Hike Strike was not in itself unethical. It was clearly the methods employed to reverse the March decision which bring to light the ethics of the man. When one considers that over 4,000 federation members added their names to a petition in support of action against tuition increases (including possible Fee Hike Strike) it is quite beyond comprehension that the student population was unaware of the reversal of the strike stand until after the deed was done. Surely a general assembly of students was in order to discuss so important an issue. As it was, no attempt was even made to inform councillors that this motion would be put forth at the June zz council meeting. Had the importance of the meeting been stressed, quorum would certainly have been met and the decision to reverse the Fee Hike Strike would not have been made by so unrepresentative a group as the four members of the Board of Directors. If it was not clear to Neil Freeman that a general assembly was in order at this time, the rapid success of a petition calling for an Extraordinary General Assembly should have brought the light to his eyes. Freeman rebuffed these demands and chose instead to play a numbers game - ever changing the interpretation of bylaw 21 governing petitions and each time demanding more student signatures. When petitioners.presented the federation with over 900 supporters to their demands (more than voted Freeman, into office], the

timing could not have been less appropriate to squabble over the legality of bylaw 21. Whether bylaw 21, to which the petition strictly adhered, was legalornot, the fact is that Freeman, as president, has the power to call an Extraordinary General Assembly on his own initiative. If Neil Freeman did not feel dutybound to respect the wishes of his constituents at this time, “when”, it might be asked, “wpuld he?” Freeman’s response to the occupation was difficult to evaluate since he was,unavailable during the whole affair. This was, in my opinion, very unprofessional. “Where is Neil?” was the question of the day and remained so from the beginning to the end of the occupation. Like the proverbial ostrich, Freeman and his executive stuck their heads in the sand apparently hoping it would all go away. In their place, Mary O’Donoghue, an unelected council member, acted as spokesperson for the executive.While she did make herself available for comment, she simply could not answer many of the questions to anyone’s satisfaction. It was sad to note that statements from the ad hoc committee delivered by Maggie Thompson were far more concise than the less-than-adequate response of the Feds. Freeman’s closing of federation services could be perceived as a ploy to draw disapproving attention to the ad hoc committee. The only obvious result of the ploy was to cause inconvenience to students - most of whom do not need their lives made more difficult at this time in the term. While there were problems to overcome if they were to remain functioning, most of the services could probably have continued with only a minimum effort. Again the question is*anethicalone. It is right that services paid for by all students be withheld unnecessarily by one small group of students in their dispute withasecondgroupof students? Laurie Duquette

Student possible

suggests sol,ption

The editor, In case you haven’t eoticed, the big issue on campus this .term is the fee hike strike. With the recent decision by _ the Fe’deration to stop supporting the strike, the controversy about it has escalated to unprecedented heights. _

In the statement issued by the “Committee to Support the Fee Hike Strike” (CSFHS) dated July 14, 1980, the CSFHS continues to rant and rave about the Fee Hike Strike (who is CSFHS, anyway?). They throw insults at the Federation executiveand in particular, at Federation -president Neil Freeman. The CSFHS makes statements about things that they claim Freeman has said and done. These statements make Freeman come across as an asshole Qwhich, I suspect, is what the CSFHS intended). Assuming that these allegations are indee‘d true, I get the idea that Freeman is behaving quite irresponsibly. I think that the whole affair of the Fee Hike Strike has gotten pretty tacky. Petty bickering and obstructionist behaviour does not accomplish anything. There are many students at UW who are concerned about the plight of “Joe Student”. The Fee Hike Strike was of proposed as a method bringing the problems facing students to the.attention of the powers that be. I think that a move such as the Fee Hike Strike can only be effective if a large number (say 1,000) of students take part. I have no doubt that at least some students will refuse to pay the fee increase in tuition September. I also think that, based on the way things are going, there will be at most = twenty or thirty people who will take part and that these people are just going to lose twenty-five or thirty dollars fees registration in late without gaining anything. I’d like to make a suggestion concerning what I think is the best way to go about determining the true, support for the Fee Hike Strike in as unbiased - a manner as possible. I urge every student who would be willing to support the Fee Hike Strike if 1,000 people supported it to put it in writing. Send this statement, along~ with your name, signature, id number, faculty and whether you are a grad or an undergrad to the Federation now. I ask the Federation to keep an unbiased tally of the total number of pledges of support received and to publicize these figures as available. .a ’ If there is a good response to this, I call upon the Federation to once more pledge its support for the Fee Hike Strike and those students that believe in it. This plan will only work if those students who pledge their support do nqt chicken out. Please send fn your statement of support if and only if you are completely willing and dedicated to the Fee Hike Strike.

I’d also like to ask the , CSFHS to stop> insulting and criticizing people and claiming support they don’t have start doing and instead * something constructive aimed at realizing a successful Fee Hike Strike. By the way, I am neither for not against the Fee Hike Strike (i.e., I don’t really care either way]. The purpose %hind this essay is to try and , something constructive

Committee airs its views The editor, The occupation of the offices of the Federation of Students which we began on Wednesday, July 16, has been a big victory for the students at the University of Waterloo and a debacle for the Federation executive. Four important things have been achieved. _ 1) The occupation has brought the issue of the fee hike strike to public attention in a big way, reaching thousands upon thousands of students with the news that the struggle against the latest tuition hike is advancing. It has refuted the false news published by the KW Record which claimed that the fee hike strike died “with barely a whimper” on June 22 w-hen the Federation Board of Directors voted against it. 2) The occupation has enabled our committee to make contact with hundreds of students on campus in a and it has short period, mobiliied more people to play an active role in the student movement. Literally the whole campus is now talking about the fee hike strike. Support for -the - strike has clearly increased. We are certain that students will refuse to pay the tuition increase in September, in spite of the treachery by the executive. We Federation don’t know precisely how many people will join the strike, but we know that the struggle has not died. 3) The petition campaign for a general meeting an‘d our occupation of the Federation, offices which followed it haGe proven the need’ for a democratic student government at the University of Waterloo. Federation support for the- fee hike strike- was cancelled -by three people on the Board of Directors without prior notice or debate, -even t hougb the strike* was approved overwhelmingly on March 17 by Students’ Council and by at least 4,000 UW students. Federation president Neil Freeman then rejected a petition for a general meeting signed by 900 students, which is 96 more than the 804 that elected him to office. The Fed executive has engaged in several illegal actions in defiance of t-he will of the students. This situation is intolerable, and students are now very much aware that big changes in the student government at UW are needed to ensure that their wishes are reflected in Federation policy. 4) Although not a goal ofthe occupation at the outset, a fringe benefit is that Mr. Neil Freeman has revealed his true qualities as a coward, a petty tyrant and a buffoon, He is afraid to face students who are sitting in his office to demand a general meeting. He has remained in hiding for six days, sending his supporters running back and forth to spy on our occupa1ion, fetch his files, etc. From his hideout he issues edicts like a little king without even consulting the Federation Board of Directors or Students’ Council. Mr. Freeman thinks he is the Federation. His closing of all student services provided by the Federation is evidence of this. His interview-with the KW Record on Saturday where he brands students engaging in a sit-in as “terrorists” has made a laughing stoc:k out of him. There

is one goal which

our

occupation has failed to achieve. Because of the intransigence of the Federation executive in refG<ng to call the general meeting demanded by students, it is now too late in the term to hold this meeting. Classes are ending and students will soon be leaving for a holiday. ,As a result we are recessing the occupation until Septemberwhen students return to campus. In the interim our committee will work hard to organize the fee hike strike. We want to call a general meeting early in September to pass a policy that the Federation should support any student who participates in the fee hike strike. We will also look into the Corporations Act and the Federation By-law which Freeman has ruled is invalid after we g&t the number of signatures on our petition required by the By-law. . On Sunday evening at 9:30 pni a notice was delivered by some of Freeman’s hirelings to students in the occupation saying “you a_re trespassing upon the property of the Federation of Students and . . . you are required to vacate the Federation offices.” It was signed by His Imperial Majesty Neil Freeman. We served notice to Mr. Freeman that if he intended to have us arres_ted for occupying his office, then he had until .Tuesday at lo:30 am to carry out his plan. He did not. We will not be intimidated. Brigi’d Rowe cs4 Maggie Thompson, ES3 Alex Herlovitch ES3 Mary Gillis Arts2

OFS Reacts to Federation decision Upon hearing of the decision of the Waterloo Federation Board of Directors decision to call off the fee hike strike at Waterloo thi.s year, the OFS Executive would like to clarify the reasons why we did not propose to undertake a province wide fee-strike this year, ’ and the- reasons ‘that OFS member campuses themselves have nof embarked on fee strikes. The past six months of student oppositiontoc-utbacks have focused on one specific issue: the potential 18% tuition increase announced last January. It is quite logical that things have developed in this manner - the latest tuition increase is yet another barrier towards total accessibility to post secondary education in this province, and demands a strong show of student opposition. However, tuition fee increases are. not rhe only critical issue facing students in Ontario. The regressive student aid plan; the underfunding of post secondary institutions, the lack, of comprehensive planning of the system, as well as tuition increases, all stem from one source: the decisidn of the Government of Ontario to embark on a policy of fiscal restraint. This policy effects the education system in the above mentioned-ways, but it also effects ‘the entire social services system hospitals, daycare, etc. And, the Ontarib Federation of Students has always recognized the need for students to work with otl-rer groups in society adversely effected by fiscal restraint to oppose this policy. The major reasons then, that the OFS/FEO execul ive recommended not to undertake a

province wide fee strike were that it would continue the process of focusing on only one issue of many, and that by its very nature, ntirrows its base of support to students alone. With a provincial election on the horizon, this problem be-comes even more acute. The election. gives students an excellent opportunity to raise our issues as significant political issue-s in Ontario. It also affords us another opportunity to advance our alliance building work - to work with social service groups, trade unions, etc. to force the present government to defend its policies to the voters. The Waterloo Fedaation Board of Directors made a very , difficult decision - a decision which is likely to be supported by some sectors of the campus and not supported by others. However, the reasoning behind calling off the fee s’trike is sound, and the activity generated due to the calling of the fee strike will only help create a base of supp.ort for -other actions undertaken by the Waterloo Federation, and the 0,ntario Federation. At present, the only campus in Ontario still going ahead with a fee strike is University of Ottawa, (not a member of OFS). The plenary of OFS in the past supported any memberornonmemberwhowished to undertake a fee strike, and we stand by -that decision. However, only a local council can assess the conditions on their campus, and decide whether the support for such an action is there. If they decide that the\ action does have some potential for success, the members of OFS are solidly behind them. If they decide, as Waterloo has d-one, that the support is got there, one should not assume that student solidakity is broken the issues we face are many and we have numerous alternative tactics at our disposal. Karen Dubinslcy, Chairperson

Ignore the Feds: Carry on with Fee Hike Strike The Editor, The Federation-of Students Executive’s decision to abandon the idea of a fee hike strike disgusts. me. it’s been demonstrated that the fee increases are going to limit access to the universities even more to the children of the rich, that the avenues of power in our society - the professions aren’t even going to be a remote possibility for the pook, that the caste system abuilding-in Canada will be enhanced, and that the dream of quality education for all to the limits of their abilities has been shelved. For our supposed student “leaders” to sell us down the-river on the only measure that seemed to have some hope of stopping the fee hike and uniting students to fight for an end to the erosion of their education is totally disgusting and places these people in the Fed. Executive beyond -the pale - traitors unfit to hold their positions. Despite thes; people I am convinced that the fee hike strike is a valuair,le tactic and a necesbary step to begin the fight for our education.-I-urge people to join in, to ignore differences and fight together with your fello;ws on this issue.

Can0 conCe The sun was almost absent from the “Fete de Sol&l”, tt free CAN0 (Co-ope’rative des Artistes -de Nouvel-Ontari concert held last Saturday afternoon on the Village Gree But it was warm and bright, and despite ‘the cloud ,hundr,eds of students greeted the.Sudbury-based band. While the musicians set yp their sound system, playf members of the audience tossed frisbees, posed f cameras, and spat watermelon seeds at their neighbours I sat cross-legged on the grass, thinking about the CAN concert I saw last fall in the Humanities Theatre. Last year’s Hagey Hall performance was a mixture theatre and ‘music. At various times during the she\ musicians doubled as actors. The most memorab \ ’ performance was given by CANO’s male vocalist, Marc Aymar, who posed as a live marionette mqst of the evenin Special effects and props accentd the drama on stage. F “Welcome 1984”, band members assumed robot-Iii stances, blue smoke swirled across the stage, and a lar! globe resembling an eye bleeped a computerized version the Lord’s Prayer. CANO’s innovative techniques we effective: theatre and music combined to yield a ve interesting and enjoyable form of entertainment. Last week’s “Fete de Soleil” lacked the theatric ‘elements of the Humanities Theatre performance, but tl activity of the audience made up for the absent drar-r CANO’s music sounded better in the indoor arena; still, tl outdoor concert was a great success. Both French and English songswere included in the”Fe de Soleil”. Most of the songs were old favorites select1

t quite a ‘fete’ ‘from CANO’s five albums. A new single entitled “Break These Chains” was not as well receivedasthe morefamiliar tunes. A few of the selections were conducive to dance, as several members of the audience demonstrated. The middle selection of “L’autobus dans la Pluie” enticed two young men into a Scottish fling; others preferred the more contemporary beat of “Rendezvous”. ’ Most of the selections, however, lea,d to listening rather than dancing. CAN0 added an orchestral mood to FM-style rock by blending the sounds of violin and percussion with those of the more basic bass and drums. I particularly enjoyed the contribution made by Wasyl Kohut, theviolinist, whose ability was most evident in “Spirit of the North”. The powerful voice of the female vocalist, Rachel Paiement,‘compIemented CANO’s fine instrumental work. In “Je Sors de Mon Pays”, Rachel’s voice covered a wide range -without losing any of its force or beauty. Rachel herself, as well as her musical talent, impressed the audience. Most of the viewers appreciated her good looks; others were charmed by her pleasent “mercis”. , After CANO’s performance, the members of theaudience expressed their gratitude; Denise Donlon, Federation entertainment co-ordinator and emcee for the show, thanked the “Lady up there” for making the outdoor concert possible. Thunderous applause thanked CAN0 for making the “Fete de Soleil” a remarkable rendezvous. Laurie

The Arts Intensified! Original SKA 1962-66 Mango Okay, all of you new rude boys and girls! All of you people in your new pork pie hats and Two-Tone uniforms! All of you who are caught up in the “Ska Wave”of The Specials, The Selecter, Madness, etc... Here is an album to separate the trendies from the true fans. If you are a true ska fan, you will enjoy Intensified because it contains the REAL THING, the “originale materiale”. The trendies may find it too “black”, or too difficult to understand, or socially unacceptable because none of their trendy friends have heard it. If you are not familiar with ska, this album could be an acid test for you. Personally, I can’t see why anyone would not like this album, unless they were racist, or incredibly boring, or both. Ska, the immediate predecessor of reggae in the history of Jamaican .music, is free of the heavy political and religious tones often found in reggae and it is even easier to dance to! Ska is perhaps the most enjoyable form of music for me: it is pure, honest fun and, along with reggae, makes a nice complement to my otherwise steady diet of punk. Like the name of the album says, the 16 _ songs on this album were recorded between 1962 and 1966, the heyday of original ska. A pool of musicians, including such legends as The Maytals, Rico Rodriguez (Mr. 2ITone Trombone), Stranger Cole, and Jackie Mittoo, made these recordings under various group names at the “hit factory” in Funky Kingston, Jamaica. The new ska bands rely on guitar and organ to maintain the steady off-beat; the originals, on the other hand, used saxophones, trumpets, trombones, piano, guitar, and even the human voice as rhythm instruments. Fascinating! Many of the songs on Intensified are instrumentals (“El Pussy Cat”, Duck Soupy “Rocket Ship”, “University Goes Ska”) with all .of the melodies handled by the brass & sax, and are meant for your dancing pleasure. Fans of The Selecter will recognize “Carry Go bring Home” and “James Bond”: Lately, I’ve found myself singing “Solomon Gundie” and “We are Rolling” on my way to class and not giving a shit if anyone notices. That is Ska! At present, Intensified is only available on U.S. import, but I’ve heard rumours that it will be released domestically. It should. Even so, the number of songs (16; total playing time 44:Ol) and the uniqueness of the material make it well worth the premium price ($8.00 in Toronto). There’s even a Volume II, which I’ll no doubt be getting soon. Here’s to the true fans of Ska. To,m McNally

Introducing... Payola$ A&M The city of Vancouver has a fairly small but undeniable new wave scene. There were enough bands in early 1979 to put out a album, entitled Vancouver complilation Complicafiqn (sic). One of the bands on this album, Pointed Sticks, seemed headed for the big time when they were signed to StiffEpic Records and spirited off to England late last year to record. Unfortunately, their debut album was a wimpy disappointment. The new leaders of west coast rock’n’roll are Payola$, whose splendid 4-song EP is now available in the east. Introducing.. . is one of A&M’s “Debut Series” of 4-song, 12 inch EP’s by new bands. It’s good to see A&M signing new talent and giving them good promotion, but with The Police and Joe Jackson under contract, A&M can afford to take the occasional chance.

Records

Gabriel (thank God for anatomical impossibilities) he has given Genesis a refreshing new sound and face. Duke is an album like all post GabrielGenesis albums. If you can find your way through the mire of over-produced, overstuffed, over-exaggerated, all to common “Genesis brand” sound meanderings you will stumble upon something akin to “Misunderstanding.” Like “Follow You, Follow Me” and “Your Own Special Way,” though highly commercial, this is the only identifiable melody present.

There’s nothing risky about Payola$, though. Quite simply, there are one of the most promising new groups in the country, new wave or otherwise. Their EP makes you sit up and listen by crashing through your speakers and hitting you over the head with a large dose of raw energy. Much of their material is the most energetic stuff I’ve heard anywhere’since the first Undertones album (ah, the first Undertones,album!) In particular, “T.N.T.” is, well, a real nut-grabber. “Rose” is a great bit of ‘white reggae’, that is, the players switch from the island rhythm to pure rock and back again without missing a beat. The song “China Boys” has been getting a lot of air-play on CFNY recently, and that’s fine with me. It’s a catchy pop number, described in the cover notes as a “ridiculously upbeat song about the Westernization of the ’ People’s Republic”. Okay. the fourth song, “Jukebox”, is no slouch either. On the whole, Payola$ remind me of the Members. Who, you ask, areThe Members? They are a fine young -English band who deserve‘to have their albums released over here, that’s who. The main similarity between Payola$ and The Members is their vocal arrangements. If you’ve heard The Members, you’ll know exactly what I mean; it you haven’t, why haven’t you? Payola$ recently played at The Edge in .Toronto, opening for the ever-androgynous Jayne County. This EP suggests that Mr./Ms. County could have been given a real run for his/her money. Check out Introducing... while it’s still new. We’ll be hearing more good things from Payola$, I’m sure. Tom McNally

It is only when Genesis attempts (I am assuming that now and then they attempt to write catchy melodies) to tune down the “grandiose”and tune in the harmonious that they catch the eyes and ears of the record buying public, - and even rock stars have to eat. I am of course neglecting those who believe Genesis to be archangels in disguise (something about Gabriel seems appropriate here) with a heavenly message too unsuited to popular tastes. “Th-ere must be some misunderstanding” - earthly salvation for a group of heavenly hosts, or simply a glimpse of lead from the ageing casket of art-rock superfluity; the irony speaks for itself. M. Drew Cook

Empty Glass Peter Townshend Atlantic The punk with the leather jacket and earrings is stooped over the pool table, cue in hand, concentrating on his shot. Smoke fills the air; a couple of other ‘youths’, similarly attired, strike poses of bored anticipation. Their turns will come. Injected into this delightful scene is Pete townshend, playing the guitar in his customary windmill-like fashion. He jostles the players to the tune of “Rough Boys”. By the end of the song, he is roughly being shoved out of the way. The scene is from the promotional film for Townshend’s new solo album, Empty Glass. The song itself is typical of the songs on the album: it’s rough and loud and interesting to listen to. It is what rock is all about. Interestingly enough, the song that’s

Genesis Duke WEA (Atlantic) There are few bands who can actually boast an improved track record since bidding adieu to the-*undisputed mastermind of musical and theatrical prowess, - King Shit, no less. Peter Gabriel no longer flaps his demoniacal wings and no longer does he dance with the Moonlit Knight; in short, he is no longer selling England by the pound. Many expected the remaining core of Genesis to wither and pass into the annals of British art-rock, unscathed herosto the end; however, there arose among the decaying ruins one who would not succumb to the throes of sorrow, destitution, doubt and the inability to shine after the candle had been extinguished. From behind the thundering domain of Mount Percussius, exhorted from the asylum and inconspicuous retreat found within his drum kit stepped forth Phil Collins - a short, balding, cocky Limey who had remained too long in the shadows. It is undeniably Phil Collins who leads the band through their laser-filled, light orchestrated rock spectacles; it is he who carries all vocal chores, and though he is no Peter

getting the most ,#&rplay, “Let My Love Open The Door”, is probably the most polished, most sedate cut on the record. Far superior are “And I Moved” and “Keep On Working”. “And I Moved” has some fascinating synthesizer riffs and some solid, if somewhat

simple, lyrics. “Keep On Working” is one of the only songs that doesn’t really deal with the seamier side of life and, therefore, makes a nice change of pace. The only other song that diverges thematically from the rest is “Jools and Jim” which deals with the almost vampiric relationship between famous people and the press: particular mention is made of the late Keith Moon. Oddly enough, this is probably the fastest song on the album; Townshend probably wanted to to make his point quickly and go on to another song. No matter, “Jools and Jim” is excellent. The synthesizer again becomes a major factor in the beginning of “A Little Is Enough”; it is used to very good effect. The song is ’ fast-moving and has solid arrangements, a little rough around the edges, but easy to listen to. Which, again, is typical of most of the songs on the album. They moue. If there is one major drawback to the album, it is that most of the songs are thematically the same. Other than that, Townshend more than proves himself as a solo artist. It’s not the Who, but it’s worth a listen or six. h-a Nayman Big Boy Andrews & The Gents A&M The March 22, 1980 edition of the New Musical Express contained an ad for this -album, and two things about that ad caught my eye. One was Mr. Andrews’ guitar: a hollow-bodied jazz guitar (I have a strong liking for these). The other was Mr. Andrews’ hairstyle: in an attempt to cover his receeding hairline, Mark has .arranged his hair in a sort of triangle drooping over his forehead. It makes him look like a 30 year old Eddie Munster in a leisure suit. But what does his album sound like? Well, Mark tries to be another Joe Jackson, sort of. Quite a few of the tunes have good commerical potential in a Jackson-like way, but there are many reasons why they fail. First and foremost is Andrews’ desire to run the whole show. Hesimplydoes not have the voice or lyrical ability to carry a show on his own. He’d have a much better chance if he let his backup band, The Gents, have some breathing room; instead they are handcuffed by poor production. Everything is flat, not one instrument has the snap that Andrews’ songs require. Andrews is left standing alone. The music is ruined by weak lyrics. Mark’s relentless parade of songs about lust (“Say It’s All Right”, “Talking With Your Body”, “Laid On A Plate”, ,etc.) washes out the good melodies and gets downright boring. The Gents overstep their bounds by trying to play reggae. They try hard, but the feeling just isn’t there. In particular, their attempt at a reggae version of Steppenwolf’s “Born To Be Wild” falls flat on its face. It’s bad to the point of being hilarious. Mark Andrews & . The Gents are one of many bands around who have no business mimicking reggae. Some of the songs on this album may find their way onto FM radio, but it won’t be by request, and Mark and his laddies will not gain much of a following, if any at all. It is not very likely that you will find this album, with Eddie Munster on the cover, in those bins with the records with a hole punched in the -a corner. So it goes. Tom I& Nally Mark

Improving

Fitness with Aerobics

Webster’s Dictionary defines the term .aerobics as “living, active, or occurring in the presence of oxygen.” This is a very accurate description of the type of exercise which is needed to improve cardiovascular fitness. j Aerobic exercises are rhythmic, involve large muscle groups and require an adequate oxygen supply. Popular ‘examples of aerobic exercise include brisk walking, jqgging, swimming, cycling, rope skipping and cross country skiing. . . To produce / or maintain a desiracle level of cardiovascular fitness,, , the following three principles should be followed: exercise should be 1) Aerobic performed at least three times a week. As exercise tolerance increases so may the frequency; however, it is not .necessary to exercise. Every day. Pviake sure that “days off” are regularly scheduled to allow recovery. 2) For a training effect, the intensity of the aerobic exercise must be above a minimal threshold level. However, the intensity must not be too great as to cause undue strain and possible i njury. A safe gauge to measure-the intensity-of the exercise is by heart rate, response. Generally, the exercise must be strenuous enough to reach a threshold approximately 70 to 85 per _cent of your age-predicted maximum. The chart belvw gives an approximate heart rate threshold for your age. Threshold Range Age 135 to 164 b/min. 20-29 30-34 35-39 40-44 45-49 50-54 55-59 60-64

132to161 129to157 126to 153 124to150 122 to 148 119to144 117to 142

To ensure that you are staying within the threshold range, check your heart rate immediately after an exercise bout. This may be done by palpating the pulse in the wrist, [thumb side) or neck, counting for 15 seconds &id multiplying value. by fourt!o get a minute ’ .- 3) The”threshold hea rt rate should be maintained for at least 10 to 20 minutes. . -As you become more fit, the durationmay be increased above this level. With aerobic exer.cise involving a large muscle mass, it not only serves to improve cardiovascular fitness, but also burns up a lot of calories. As a result, regular aerobic exercise is a necessary y

part of any weight tenance program. ,

Making Exercise -* Fun and Enjoyable - From the information provided,in the preceding articles, you now have the necessary building blocks to construct your personal exercise program. However, to adhere to the program a number of different factors must be taken into consideration. Exercise is made a lot easier if there is an experience of success and enjoyment. In order to maximize the “fun” potential of exercise, several different techniques may be used. 1) Pick an aerobic activity you enjoy. Jogging fias beena popular activity of the recent fitness boom; but if jogging isn’t your thing, don’t do it. Instead, choose an activity that you can see yourself doing on a-n on-going basis. 2) Establish a workload that is not too strenuous. Exercise should be a long term commitment so don’t rush things. Doing too much, too soon will only cause muscle soreness and possible discourage you from continuing with your program. Sensible exercise is the best formula for fitness. 3) Variety is the spice of,life, so make sure you include it in your program. If you are cycling, walking or jogging, try as many different routes as possible. As long as you meet the prescribed frequency, intensity an-d duration, the different aerobic activities are pretty well equal, so give them all a try. 4) Establish the short and long te’rm goals of your exercise program. For example, a long term goal-maysbe to lose x number of pounds but ‘it should be done slowly, dropping no more than one <orI two pounds a ‘week. “-I 5) Determine the best’ time of day to exercise. You will find that exercise is habit forming if a cdnvenient time pe&d is established. Positive reinforcemiLt should be intimately tied to exercise, especialjy for the beginner. One way of providing this necessary feedback iS through the use of a “log book” or “ fitness ,diary’“. This simply involves recprding the date, the and duration of the type* intensity exercise session.’ This * self:monitoring device has pfoven to be an effective motivational tool for many individuals. Another motivational technique is to exercise w’ith’a buddy. Having to make commitments wi+ others can help to’ ‘ensure exercise on a regular schedule. Remember, exercise should -be a lifetime affair. By making physical activity as convenient and enjoyable as possible, you will find it can become a part of your regular lifestyle. I

Intramural rankings usually prove to be the downfall of number one ranked teams. The intramural ‘hex’ as it is known has occurred numerous times as the top teams are ‘upset’ by lesser ranked teams. However, in men’s basketball, the Hopkins“bex’proved sometihat faulty as two number one ranked teams won both championships. In soccer play, the ‘hex’ was hal‘f right as one number one ranked team (although it took a double overtime to do it) and a number six ranked team won .the two championships. In softball, all number one ranked teams were . eliminated along the ‘way. ,Ultimately, however, everyone is a winner in intramurals because they are linvolved.
