Rubik’s fascinahx

Campus Centre this week. Somewhere amidst the bricks and dust, there lies a reason for the renovations.

Cube a spreading for many peO@e

Some people are doing it on buses. Some people are doing it on planes. And some people are doing it in the privacy of their own homes. The object of attention for an ever growing number of individuals is none other than the Rubik’s Cube. The ingenious toy and mathematical model is the invention of Erno Rubik, a Hungarian design and achitecture teacher who originally invented the device as an instrument to get his _ students thinking in three dimensions. The cubeis found everywhere. “It has been marketed m North America in such a way as to become part of pop culture”, says Elliot Avedon, curator of UW’s Games Museum, and a professor in Recreation. “It is freely available and cheap.” Rubik’s cube also poses a complex and formidable math problem. According to David Singmaster, the author of the book on the mathematics of the cube, a mathematician named Paul Taylor once found a cube in a pub in London with a bottle of scotch as the prize for solving the cube. Taylor solved the cube, only to be denied the bottle ofscotch and be accused of cheating by the pub manager, believing that the cube was ‘impossible’ to solve. Avedon believes that most people do not understand the mathematics of trying to solve the cube. Hence one company is now marketing a Rubik’s hammer to permanently find the solution. Avedon states, “I know nine and ten year olds who can solve it (the cube) and 30 year olds who have bought the hammer.” Rubik’s cube comes in a variety of sizes, and is available as a key chain, a computer game, and variations of it in various shapes can be found. The novelty of the cube goes back into history about 100 years, as far as Avedon is concerned, to a game called ‘Pigs In Clover’, in which the player has to manoeuver marbles on a board with raised, concentric circles. The object of the game is to get all the marbles in the center hole. Mathematicians have calculated that there are 43 quintillion positions that the cube can assume. Mind boggling one might say, but Avedon says, “If you really want to understand the cube then you must take it apart (literally). There is a basic mathematical pattern you have to follow.” David Singmaster, a Lecturer at Polytechnic of the South Bank in London, England, and more or less regarded as the world’s foremost authority on the mathematics of the cube, regards the introduction of suitable notation as a major step in solving the cube. Singmaster’s notation is described in his book, Notes on Rubiks Magic Cube, and in the March 198 1 issue of Scientific American. Enro Rubik, now 36, is a teacher of design and architecture at the Academy of Applied Arts in Budapest, Hungary. Dr. P. Rosza, a mathematician and visiting professor from Budapest, says cubes are so. popular in Hungary, that for more than two years, very few have been available for sale because most are exported to the West.

Although Dr. Rosza unpretentious

_ _ __. now an international celebrity, describes Rubik as a simple person.

Rubik originally created the cube as an exercise in spatial thinking for his students, little realizing the success it would achieve commercially. In Hungary, there now exists a club known as the Cube Rotating Club, with a large membership drawn from various branches of the intelligentsia. Alas, while a source of joy to all those who possess one, most of the financial benefits of the cube have not fallen upon Mr. Rubikor theoriginal manufacturers. Not anticipating its future success, Rubik failed to take out the international patent for his invention, only to find most of the sales go to inexpensive Taiwanese models of the cube.

Horror stories ~~~~e ~$o~~~.alism hadfight edumtion The CC Board over the past several months discussed many ways of solving the problem, including large mirrors and extra people. Woodruff says “It finally came down that the only way to do it would be to lower the walls.” And so, the walls come down. The work should take about a week, as new electrical outlets are needed. Other chances will be noticeable. The Scoops ice cream coolers will be moved across to the short wall. The vending machines from the old high wall will then go where the coolers were. Curtains will be put along the wall to be drawn during movies or special shows. Cathy McBride

to cuts

i Vancouver (CUP) - Simon Fraser University students have a new way to protest decreasing funding of postsecondary ed,ucation - horror stories. The English student union is sponsoring a horror story contest open to all people who have suffered from funding cuts at universities. Prizes include a forty dollar book certificate, a bus pass and a semester’s parking. The contest is also open to non-students, to encourage submissions from people describing how the education cutbacks prevented themfrom attending school.

“Things like the faculty club have really got us irate,” said Colleen Robinson, ESU spokesperson, “because it’s really interesting that a twenty-two per cent tuition increase is coming so soon after something like that.” SFU recently began construction of a $1.4 million “University Club”, charging a $150 initiation fee and monthly membership fees totalling $120 per year. Submissions for the horror story contest can come in almost any creative form. “it’s a lighter side of protest,” said Robinson. “It could be fun, too.”

/Rape a growing, It may not be a good idea to shrug and think, “oh, I’ll be alright,” when deciding to walk outside alone after dark. Last week, several cases of sexual assault occured close to the university campus. One incident occured by the south parking lot between University Ave and Seagram Dr. A man threatened his victim with a knife held to her face, and proceeded to molest her. Fortunately. enough, after some time, two people approached and the man fled. After reporting this, she was told by the police that she was not the only one this man had attacked. The police said that they knew who the man matching her and several other descriptions is, and what his address is, but that they

didn’t have enough proof to bring him in to the station. Meanwhile, women are being used as bait. What will it take? It is clear that many women have been walking though Waterloo Park at night with renewed confidence since the lights have been put up. Unfortunately the lights were regarded by some as a panacea, but as could be expected, the problem persisted. Not only is there a risk for those who are walking through the park and nearby areas, attacks have also been made on more than one occasion on women riding their bikes. Only last weekend, a cable was placed across the bicycle path near the deer yard in the park, possibly in order to throw a person off her bike.

The detective in charge of sexual assaults at the Waterloo police station said that there are five key areas where incidents ranging from rapes to exhibitions by flashers have been taking place: the band shell in Waterloo Park, around the fire hall on Westmount Rd., the shopping complexes, U of W’s south parking lot, and arena area. Obviously, it would be wise to avoid certain areas at night. But this will not make this problem that we are so burdened with, to away. Only by collecting to educateand protect each other can anything be accomplished for the long-term. Hopefully both will occur on campus shortly. Helma

Letters Sympathy tempered by indignation To the editor: , Having carefully studied the same review of Euripides’ The Bacchae, so roundly criticized by Prabhakar Ragde in a letter to Imprint (Friday, November 27), we find ourselves, in the main, in sympathy with Ms./ Mr. Ragde’s sense of outrage. However, on reflection, our own indignation has been somewhat tempered by consideration of the following points: (1) Ragde’s conclusion that the reviewer ‘no doubt . .. would have preferred a chorus more in the traditional mould, delivering sombre abstract reflections . .. in unison’ is too hasty, and perhaps unjust. It is based on the reviewer’s ‘grousing about histrionics’. But, as is well-known, traditional Greek choruses were often anything but sombre. History recc-ds that the masks, gestures, and vocalizations of the original chorus in The Eumenides, for example, caused men to cry out with fear and women to suffer miscarriages. And while Ragde is entirely correct in decrying the reviewer’s self-professed unfamiliarity with much of the relevant literature, still it is important to note that none of us are yet apprised of the full ’ extent of that unfamiliarity. While admittedly unfamiliar with The Bacchae, Greek drama, even the theatre in general, it is at least possible that the re./iewer knew this one fact. We feel we should extend the benefit of the doubt, and refrain from concluding obvious though such a conclusion appears in this case that the reviewer-s unfamiliarity is so complete as to allow

’

him/ her to express a preference for a non-existent alternative. This, unfortunately, leaves us with no satisfactory explanation of the ‘grousing’ but in the interests of charity, this may be best ignored. (2) Ragde asks: ‘After all, what is the point of staging a play if it has no relevance to current times?’ We must point out that rhetorical questions are really not good form, even in the context of a justifiably emotional response to an obviously excessive and illinformed review. While the reviewer nowhere defends the implicit contention that plays of no contemporary relevance whatsoever should be performed, it is nonetheless possible that this view could be defended. Rather than assuming the obvious, Ragde might have done all readers a greater service by speculating on the reviewer’s possible answers to the question. (3) We suggest, with regret, that there may also be a slight analytical error in Ragde’s defense of the production. We believe that the director’s approach to the Agave-Cadmus scene was not that of Brechtian Alienation, But an application of Artaud’s Theatre of Cruelty theories, once removed. However,.-*as the director’s part in all. this has been so notably ignored, we offer this only as speculation. (4) Finally, we must admonish Ragde him/ herself concerning his/ her use of the word ‘amateur’. The word means ‘lover of ---‘; its connotations are neither acclamatory nor derogatory; nor, as Ragde seems to imply, is it a special form of theatre. Neither pride nor shame would appear to enter into the picture at all. But we laud Ragde’s recognition of the time and

effort the Group devoted to this singularly difficult play. After all, in any endeavour literary, theatrical, or journalistic - quantity must count for at least as much as quality. Michael Thomas Dalmy Lesard

Abuse of handicapped an unaddressed issue To the editor: I feel I must bring to the public’s attention a problem of which I am aware.‘ Being a volunteer for the disabled, I am shocked at the terrible and numerous incidences of rape and sexual assault upon the handicapped. The handicapped are extremely vulnerable, because of their physical weakness, they are unable to escape dangerous situations, let alone ward off an attacker.1 Another facet of the problem is that frequently they are afraid to report any incidents of sexual assault because they are so vulnerable to further abuse. From my personal experience, of the three girls I have worked with, one has been raped twice, the second rape occuring just two weeks ago, and other has been sexually abused by her father. He was sent to prison for assaulting her but has since returned and lives with her. She is under eighteen, and is therefore unable to excape the situation. I sincerely hope that my experience is not representative of the entire handicapped population. Unfortunately, there are no statistics available on the extent of sexual abuse of the handicapped. Another problem of the sexually abused handicapped

is they have no one to turn to, other than volunteers, for counselling and assistance. Often, the volunteers are inadequately equipped to deal with the problems caused by sexual abuse. When the abuse occurs in the home of the handicapped, unless they are over eighteen years of age, they can not leave the house. The only apartments that accept handicapped, providing a refuge from the abuse, stipulate that they person be over eighteen and receiving a pension. Those under eighteen can remain trapped in abusive situations. Agencies must be created to provide the abused handicapped people with alternative living arrangements. Also, a greater investigation of this problem should be conducted; too little is known specifically about this problem. Angela Moore

World needs more than just engineers To the editor: Re: last week’s letter to the editor entitled “Industry needn’t pay for students not used”, by Peter Walker (2A Elec. Eng.) This may surprise some engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, commerce, and science students, but education is not merely the acquiring of hords of facts and the technical skill to manipulate them. Too many of these types think only in terms of jobs and the economy, rather than in terms of .human beings and society. Education is only partly concerned with technology; it is also concerned with the human social condition. Because they have such a one-sided “‘education” and consequently great self- im-

Reviewer criticised in scathing letter to editor To the editor: I have several comments on your recent coverage of the Drama Group’s production of The Bacchae which will, I hope, interest those responsible for the Imprint’seditorial polrcy.

N.,

Your reviewer announces his complete ignorance of Greek drama. In one presumably interested in the arts, this cultural poverty is deplorable; in one setting out to pass judgement on the production, such a statement is flippant and insulting to the Drama Group and to the readers of your paper. Mr. Ragde, the reviewer, objects to the Chorus singing some of its lines, and asks for a more traditional treatment. Were he not ignorant of Greek dramatic practices, he would have known that the Greek chorus often sang some of its lines. The traditional treatment he asks for was right before his eyes. If, as Mr. Ragde announces, he has neither the desire, nor the talent to get involved in drama, what is he doing criticizing it? Nobody minds a

Threatened

In an unpublicized move, university president Douglas Wright has announced his plans to terminate the Campus Centre Board and replace it with a ‘Campus Centre Users Committee’. Though details are sketchy, a memo from Wright proposes that the elected board be dumped in favour of seven presidentially appointed people, of whom only three are students. Wright will be addressing the Campus Centre Board at its meeting on Monday, December, at 9:00 am, Needles Hall Room 300 1. Peter Saracino

harsh critic, provided he wishes the theatre well and is concerned with its improvement. But the theatre does not need the under-educated and uninterested smart-aleck. The review takes the form of a “scathing schizo letter to the editor”. I’m afraid that your headline displays a knowledge of psychopathology as scanty as your knowledge of Greek drama. Moreover, it displays a sadly puerile attitude towards journalism. No, it is not witty. No, it is not very clever. Mr. Ragde’s review relies, in his own words, on “nothing but hollow facades of cute but meaningless constructions and hysterical generalizations.” May I remind you that the Arts section of this newspaper is a forum for the discussion of the arts. If you are not qualified to judge: report. But do not use my work and the work of my colleagues as fodder for your creative efforts. This is not critical, but parasitic. And remember: according to Northrop Frye - a critic of some experience “criticism, like poetry, is either precise statement or blather.” Your newspaper is funded in part, by the students of this pniversity.

To the editor: Re: the editorial of November 20. Firstly, I would like to state that I am not a member of the

December

Arts Students Union council. Nevertheless, I was offended that this editorial had the gall to imply that the ASU had no right to take a stand in the referendum campaign. Here are some particularly offensive quotes: 1) “Apparently the ASU... does not wish Arts students to think for themselves.” If this is true, then why was it that it was the ASU that organized the “society-sponsored” debate (which, by the way, both sides agreed was the best-run session)? In taking a stand, the ASU by no means was forcing anyone to comply, but merely giving its advice to the constituents from which it was democratically elected. 2) “Does an executive decision of 11 accurately represent the opinions of some 3000 Arts students?” This argument is commonly used by people on the losing end of a vote. Even if we accepted it, this would mean that the 17 Students’ Council members who called for the referendum in the first place didn’t represent the opinions of UW’s 15,000 students. Or that the 282 MP’s in Ottawa don’t accurately represent the 24,000,OOO citizens of Canada. If so, who has the right to represent anyone? The fact that all members of the ASU Council have to go through a democratic election process gives them a legitimate right to act on behalf of their constituents. In my opinion, they have more of right to comment on student issues than did Ira Nayman (author of a recent editorial), who is not even a student here. As well, it was -a council

decision, not the decision of the ASU Executive. 3) “If the ASU is so frightened of cutbacks, why had they not spoken out against the proposed cutbacks long ago?’ To be short, why is it that Imprint has never attended even one ASU meeting (according to ASU. president, Murray Spackman)? Why is it that Imprint has talked to Murray only once since the beginning of the term? I’m sure that he would be more than happy to tell you what they’ve done. 4) “One has to wonder when one of the main Federation council supporters of OFS represents Arts.” Firstly, three of the four Federation Councillors representing Arts were, to varying degrees, vocal in supporting OFS. Secondly, you seem to be ignoring the active support of a Math Councillor, an ES Councillor, an Engineering Councillor and a Renison Councillor, just to name a few.’ Personally, I applaud the actions of the ASU. I believe that democratic action only works when people participate; accordingly, the ASU’s actions could more accurately be interpreted as an effort to raise the level of student awareness on the issue among Arts students than as an exercise in brain-washing. I hope that, in the future, other societies will follow this lead and realize that, as well as taking care of their parochial interests, they also have a responsibility to speak for students as a whole.

First event for 25th Anniversary announced - free cake at SCH The University of Waterloo will ring in the New Year with an Opening Day Celebration marking its 25th Anniversary on Friday, January 8, 1982. Students, staff and faculty will be invited to attend the Opening Day Event which will take place at 3:00 pm. outside South Campus Hall. President Emeritus, J.G.

Different groups and individuals will be invited to plant trees and shrubs throughout the Anniversary Year.

Women’s history to be highlighted for International Women’s Day Local women participating in the organization of International Women’s Day are planning to publish material outlining the history of the event in an effort to illustrate some of the historical struggles of Canadian women. The committee, currently working towards the special day -- March 8, 1982 -- is putting together a grant application to investigate the possibility of government funding for the event. In conjunction with the day, there will be an evening of live entertainment and a dance on the evening of Friday, March 6, in Victoria Park Pavillion. Inaddition, there will be a march and party the following day, and an art exhibit on the Sunday afternoon, followed by a presentation of women’s art that evening. On the Monday night a movie appropriate to the occasion will be shown. Women who are interested in participating in a further organizational meeting,.at which the details of the planned events will be finalized and the grant application will be approved, should attend the meeting on Sunday, Dec. 6, at 6:30 pm at 41 Margaret Ave., Kitchener.

Studentnewspaper Edmonton (CUP) The students’ union at the University of Alberta is considering taking legal action against the city of Edmonton following confisdation of the Gateway student newspaper November 19 by officials of the Edmonton police and fire departments. Officials said the Gateway was seized because of a story about a November 18 incident of arson in the students’ union building (SUB). They said the story may have been detrimental to the department’s investigation. The papers were returned to the Gateway by police Monday morning and were distributed on campus. About 12,000 copies of the Gateway and about 21,000 - copies of the Federation of Alberta Students (FAS) Voice newspaper were discovered missing Friday morning. Except for about five thousand Gateways that had already been distributed to the central Academic building and SUB, the rest of the Gateways remained on the loading dock in SUB. City officials said later they had mistaken the Voice papers for Gateways and taken them all.

The Gateway contacted campus security and city police Friday morning when the papers were discovered missing. Until later that afternoon there was no word on the whereabouts of the missing papers. At approximately 3 p.m. Friday, Gateway editor Peter Michalyshyn was contacted by city police. Shortly thereafter, Michalyshyn and Gateway production editor Robert Cook met with police and fire department officials at police headquarters downtown. The men said the papers had been removed shortly after midnight Thursday. No court orders justifying the seizure had been issued. The police and fire officials said in conversations with Michalyshyn and Cook that the department wanted the paper out of circulation only for one day to thwart the possibility of a copy-cat fire. The Student aVoice was returned’to FAS Friday evening. The papers had been stored in a garage-at the residence of the fire department official. One of the officials who admitted to taking the papers led the two Gateway editors to

The Canadian Challenge.

If upon writing some thought patterns in a style approaching prose poetry I just waited for pure inspiration straight from my mind, I would not be able to move my fingers across the typewriter’s face to capture on paper--a vision from my past that flits across my conscious memory recorders like a chickadee at play in the forests of my birthplace. Arid if expecting the love df a woman I just sit and watch her as she walks by, then I would be better off becoming some apprentice minister of the Church of England in the village of the English River Ojibway where I first heard of Jesus; and there as I sit before a writer’s testing sheets of blank paper, often I begin with the familiar words, phrases, meanings spoken by the woman I have wan&d over ’ the years “I like the way you write.” “You wrote this poem just for me?” “It doesn’t matter you’re Indian.” And then I begin with some way of -modern English literature as inspired by readings from great Canadian writers like Margaret Atwood, Leonard Cohen, and the rest, as slowly my fingers venture-onto the typewriter’s face, slowly with many errors of meaning, spelling, and later, I pencil in, or out, corrections with my tongue sticking out the left corner of my mouth, a boy’s habit that I never outgrew but a habit I like to think helps me relax to create a prose poem, some thought patterns developed into interwoven fabrics of metaphors and Similies, writing that when read by my friends almost never fails to get a reaction “You call this poetry, this is shit, and besides your style is all wrong . . :” even as I listen with my heart beating in my sneakers, or I hear “Oh God, this is nice, this is really fine . . .” and as my lungs swell in pride, I know why it is I struggle with English words, but always before I get lost, thinking that out of my mind alone a prose poem was born, I stop and whisper “Thank you, Al Purdy for the style, and you Dennis Lee, thank you for some borrowed insight . . .” And upon completing some thought patterns in a style approaching prose poetry, I remember the familiar words, phrases, meanings spoken by the women1 have wanted over the years “It doesn’t matter you’re Indian.” “You wrote this poem just for me?” “I like the way you write.” For it is upon such simple yet painful words that often gives me first inspiration, women who helped me find more answers on how to give of myself instead of merely taking, and often, I remember my grade 13 English teacher who taught me the beginnings of respect for modern English Canadian literature with readings from Milt=>n Acorn, Irving Layton, and the rest.

To the editor: When Anna Lehn claims students “should be lucky to get the (Campus Events) space to begin with,” she sounds as if suffering from a case of misplaced priorities. Imprint receives student funding. It calls itself “the student newspaper at the University of Waterloo.” Its purpose ought to #be informing the student population of UW. Just because Imprint advertises events free of charge does not give its staff the “artistic” freedom to comment on events as they see fit. 1 do know how Campus Events is set up.

was justified. My findings were as follows: a) ASU did more to advertise the issues of both sides than any other society. They originated and arranged the entire panel debate, modifying the established “election proceedings technique” which seemed to stress pocularity issues rather than referendum concerns. The November 4 issue of the Arts Lion printed the entire “Yes 0FS”and“Out and Why” statements that were sent to off campus students, as well as stating and explaining their stand. The coffeeshop, their nodal point, had one wall with “Referendum: News and Views” where all aspects of both sides were posted. Indeed, several of my own councillors copied this very idea for the lobby of our ES1 building. b) The ASU motion was placed on the agenda the day of the meeting. The council did, however, receive enough information because (unlike at the council meeting for the Federation) the OFS fieldworker, Peter Hoy and Wim Simonis both had a chance to discuss the motion at length. Also, as the campaign had officially begun, the students on the ASU council had a chance to learn the facts from outside sources before the council meeting. c) The main Federationcouncil supporter of OFS who is in Arts wasn’t even at the ASU ‘council meeting. Attendance was noted in the minutes. d) The statement in the editorial “political motions of any kind are usually voiced by those who have a vested interest” is totally correct. It corresponds to the comment in the Arts Lion that was also

quoted in the Imprint article: f:Arts students are the most likely to be hurt by impending Provincial budget cuts because of their relative lack of co-op and job-oriented programs which are of the highest priority with governments. In short we’ll be the first in line to the guillotine,” so I’m confused by the anxiety expressed as this seems to me to be a very legitimate “vested interest”. e) 1 approached the ASU for information and ‘did not receive “an expansion of this one-sided view” as anticipated in the editorial. On the contrary, 1 was impressed with their respect for the “OutOFS”. ASU stated their concerns (stated: not pressed) and as mentioned previously, provided many outlets for personal investigation and encouraged individuals to go and decide for themselves. f) Where did anyone say “their executive decision of 11 accurately represent the opinions of some 3,000 students”? The ASU said they were zi “decision making team that should take a stand on issues that are of vital importance to us.” 1 feel the ASU stand was to stress to their students the severity of the cutback effect on them and that voting out a lobby group was inane. 1 also found that the motion was discussed very little by the two members who put it forward. Almost all elaboration came from the OFS fieldworker and Wim Simonis. In my eyes, the purpose of the ASU stand was to state something to their students rather than represent the opinions of their total membership. After a‘ thorough examination, 1 don’t question the Arts Student Union stand, 1 applaud it. 1 believe their promore than any grammes, othe,rs, are under scrutiny for elimination or reduction. 1 am encouraged that they are taking a stand to help save themselves; this is more important and beneficial than Ms. Lehns approach of criticism for finally hearing from * them. Why didn’t the Environmental Studies society take a stand on the OFS issue? 1don’t believe our programmes are under the same amount of jeopardy as many Arts programmes. The cutbacks affect all of us but not as severely as they may affect Arts. They feel they need a lobby group, they riced it now and as they stated “QFS is one of our most important bargaining tools; we can’t afford to leave it now at such a critical point in time.” Personally, 1 didn’t believe the timing critical enough for the Environmental Studies programmes to warrant taking a stand for OFS. 1am aware of the ASU President’s involvement in questioning and discussing cutbacks and tuition increases with the MPP’s for the area. It is refreshing to see this type of follow-up on their concerns. All of us should become more involved in the fight against both tuition increases and cutbacks in spending. 1 certainly hope my findings on the reasons for the ASU decision to take a stand, its implementation and implications assist in clarifying this issue.

Coop relied mainly on his previous material. The standards, I Never Cry, and Only Women Bleed brought back memories. But for an aged rocker like me, No More Mr. Nice Guy, I’m Eighteen (complete with boa constrictor), and the ever-popular School’s Out reminded me of a young boy t’en years ago discovering the horrors of Rock n’Rol1. Maybe that’s why I wasn’t too impressed - I am too critical now to ignore the sadistic implications of Alice Cooper’s show.

theatrics, Cooper forces his audience to listen to his raunchy voice and abusive lyrics, and that can be painful. Goddo, a frequent local bar act, provided the warmup. Churning through their wellknown songs, they gave an uninspired set. Pretty Bad Boy was done with Goddovitz’s young son on backupvocals, which turnedout to be the most interesting part of their act. Many young patrons at the Alice Cooper concert kept police busy; they were forcibly thrown out because of their antics. For them, a Cooper concert is still a happening where they can show off. For this reviewer, Alice Cooper is just another rock n’ roll legend on his way out. Paul Moser

Does anyone care? Does anyone give a shit that Artistic Endeavours may be in their death throes? This is it, the day of judgement and it looks bleak for sincere lovers of the new music in K-W. ’ Artistic Endeavours presented the Kinetic Ideals upstairs at the Kent this weekend before a crowd of fifty to sixty patrons. The figures may seem reasonable or maybe even impressive to some. They actually represent a loss. So? So, Artistic Endeavours have been suffering losses, consistently, for as far back as I can remember. The “Nash the Slash” weekend was the only exception. There was a show held at the Humanities Theatre that promised a profit; Simple Minds. But as a token of their appreciation for the good show some of the leatherkids and skinheads saw fit to demolish one of Humanities’ washrooms. So AE suffered a loss of $300. Thanks guys and gals. Why am I rambling on lYith this impassioned plea when I should be reviewing Kinetic Ideals? Simply because Kinetic Ideals were good to great, as are all the shows heldupstairs at the Kent. They didn’t pretend to anyone, played technically competent, i,nnovative music, and performed unusually long and energetic and entertaining sets for three dollars. So what else is new? That is my review of the Kinetic Ideals, at the Kent, courtesy of Artistic Endeavours. Actually, with much apology to the band, it wasn’t as plain as all that. But anyone who is reading this, most likely, didn’t attend and even more likely didn’t miss going - so the review goes for naught. Alas brave promoters, ‘tis with sadness I watch you slip into the abyss of bankruptcy . . . and just when success seemed so imminent. Why the dramatics? I don’t know. I figured if it drew some attention to the faltering enterprise it might bring help in the form of a cavalry of blindly dedicated crusaders eager to aid the cause. But I know it won’t really matter what I say or write and how. This sad ending is all to consistent with countless other

FASS to return y to UWstage next w Februarv d

Alice was getting bored that afternoon in her Stats class, having nothing to do except listen to her professor. She had looked in her text once but it did not have any pictures, “and what,” thought Alice, “is the use of a book if it has no pictures?” Just then, in the first of a seemingly endless series of coincidences and strange happenings which would lead you or I to believe that Alice had stock in a company called Recreational Pharmaceuticals, a large white rabbit hurried by, murmuring, “I shall be late, I shall be late!” Now, this in itself was not very unusual (for Alice; there are those who would swear off Stern0 fqr a week after something like that) but when the Rabbit took a gold watch out of its waistcoat pocket and checked the time, Alice knew that here was a chance to make some money, for Alice was not above petty thievery. Blackjack in hand, she stalked the Rabbit, but it disappeared down a large hole before she could get a good shot in. Alice put on the brakes, but her orthopedic sneakers gave out and she fell down the hole Just what, I was asked by the editor, is this all about? FASS, I said. I was speculating about this year’s FASS show, where history shall be made. This is the first show to be held in the Humanities Theatre, see, and the theme is Alice in Wonderloo, right The editor, who understands narrative exposition, asked, “What is FASS?” FASS is tradition, FASS is fun, FASS is Faculty, Administration, Staff and Students. FASS is the annual musical comedy show written, produced and performed by those above-mentioned. All of a sudden you are interested, no? Your mouth is watering, no? You don’t know, no? (Ydu don’t no-no? Do yo4 have any fun at all?) It is too late to help write the script. Sorry. It is too late to become the producer. Sorry. It is too late to become the director. Sorry. . It is not too late to ,perform. The bright lights, the greasepaint, the Ethel Merman imitations. (No, not really Ethel Merman. Not even Donald O’Connor. But sometimes Howard Keel.) If you are talented - at all, in any way - come out to the auditions, January 6,7, & 9 at 7:00 p.m. in the Humanities Theatre. Technical-type people are also needed. Anyone who needs or desires more information (but there is really nothing more to say or do, except show up) can phone the director - Brian G. Martin - at 886-1865. The actualshowwillbeperformedFebrary3,4,5,and6. Don’t kid yourself; there is work involved. But it’s a lot of fun. Down, down, Alice fell. She did not question the appearance of a rabbit-hole in her lecture hall; she was the first lobotomy victim to be enroled in many years. The rabbit-hole, she noticed, was decorated in early Student Refugee. She flashed past a large statue of Ronald McDonald and grabbed a Big Mat from its hand. It turned out to be plastic. It seemed to Alice that she had been falling for hours. “Oh dear,” she thought, “Whatever shall become of Pedro?” Pedro was the family Gila monster. “Do lizards eat gizzards? Do gizzards like wizards? Is Gandalf any good at all?” Suddenly, with a mighty thump! Alice landed. She was unhurt, as she landed on her head John McMullen

Mr. Mockler and Miss Putz, two of those who have done combat with the chains and have requested that the university correct the hazard, must be enlightened in a few areas. Each has claimed that they were “not accustomed tcr the chain at that particular place.” They are aware of the posts they should know that the purpose of the posts is to support a chain between them. Should they, then, be surprised to find that a chain has indeed been strung between the posts? I must ask the speed at which each was travelling when their bicycles were snatched from beneath them by the offending chains. May I suggest that anyone who hits the chains is going too fast to prevent the accident, or perhaps, suffers from suicidal tendancies? Miss Putz suggests that “a light installed in the area so that one could see the chain could solve the problem.“This is a good idea, a better idea though, would be to affix portable lights to the bicycles so that all hazards, not just localized ones. could be avoided, why we could even call them bicycle lights and perhaps sell them at the local Canadian Tire store.

night without proper lighting (The Highway Traffic Act sec. 44 (17) R.S.O. 1980) Mr. Mockler, Miss Putz were your bikes affixed with proper, lighting? If they were then maybe you would notice the occasional obstruction. I am also disturbed to find that Mr. K.Randall, the University insurance man agreed with Mockler that the University pay for half of the cost of repairs to his bike. Imagine, if’ you can, the uproarious laughter that would ensue should an Iautomobile driver request insurance payments after hitting a bridgeabutment while racing down the highway at night without headlights, even if he should claim that he “didn’t know the abutment was there.” If bicycle riders would slow down a bit at night, use bicycle lights and a little common sense, many of the bicycle accidents on campus would be. avoided without much trouble or cost. The “problem” on campus is careless operation of bicycles, not the obstructions with which riders tend to collide. Andy Munro 3rd Yr. Man-Environment

Although I was aware of Engineering students’ reputation for not always taking things too seriously before I came to Waterloo, I was in no way prepared for the rampant immaturity that is present in Engineering classes here. Paper airplanes are constantly being thrown around during lectures and I find this extremely annoying. I’ve got nothing against having fun but for those of you who have reached university and still get your thrills by throwing airplanes around, well, all I can do is wonder how you made it this far. Even more disrupting to the classroom atmosphere is the fact that a large majority of the class is composed of people who just never shut up. If they want to talk, fine, but I wish that they’d get the fuck out of the class and do it bacause I, for one, would rather hear what the professor has to say. I realize that the classes are too large to expect complete quiet but I have gone through hourlong classes where I haven’t heard one word that the professor has said and that is ridiculous.

IiiGdi group The World of Dance series ended this past Wednesday with a children’s group - Carousel Dance Centre - an organization born and bred within the Dance Department here at Waterloo. This event displayed students from the children’s programme, as well as dance majors interested in teaching children dance. The choreography was created by children and students, as wellas the. staff on the Carousel faculty. Therefore this show was rather like an exhibition of children’s experimental and creative dance (in all the senses of the word) and not a fullblown performance. The afternoon opened with exerpts from the production Mother Goofed, mounted by the Carousel Dance Centre some time ago. These, on the whole, contained some good ideas and characterizations, but the pieces were under-rehearsed, the choreography was average and technical difficulty was generally low, considering the maturity of the dancers. The second section consisted of works by the children. Dr. Priddle (head of the school and former chair of the Dance Department) in her remarks, was informative in describing the process by which each individual children’s group arrived at this particular stage. However, she tended to be formal, long-winded- and appeared to be plugging her school over-much. But the seven year olds were glad of her presence, as she orchestrated them through a dance they created only the week before in preparation of Works in

,.-

ces and exits, constantly changing floor patterns, abstractions, and interesting groupings. Each child knew exactly what she was doing, a rare feat for any young dancerto-be. It was essential in this case as each girl was often dancing something entirely different, or going in the opposite direction, from the rest of the group. The Maritimes, performed and choreographed by ten year olds, was accompanied by a Pauline Johnson poem. This was an interesting experiment in movement and poetic rhythm. The dance also reflected the content and structural makeup of the poem. It would have made another interesting experiment to have had the poem reflect the natural length of the movement sequences. Although this piece did not work as a performable creation, it did work as an educational tool to extending the limits of these children’s conception of dance accompaniment. Calgary, by eleven year olds, was a busy, abstract work performed to a soundtrack of city noises. Two pedestrians eased across the stage, the cowboy in exaggerated, stylized John Wayne straddle, the fashionable lady in long-limbed spider walks. Bodies as “smog” wheezed and blew about the stage. A fire engine screamed through the crowds and - into the distance. Some creatures crystalized together into multfaceted machines as handlevers, foot-pedals, trip-hammer heads or swaying nervebodies. Fun! The third section of the event contained Jogging, choreographed by Gabbi Miceli, staff member of the Dance Department. This was performed by Carousel Too, a branch of Carousel Dance Centre.

In any house that has a combination of pre-schoolers and television,- Ernie Coombs, or as he is better known, Mr. Dressup, is a household word. So there is always a great amount of excitement for kids who are about to see their favorite television personality live on stage. It seemed to be this energy and excitement that carried the kids through the two shows that Mr. Dressup performed last Saturday in the Humanities Theatre. Coombs performed without the usual cast of puppets that are seen on his television program; most notably absent

for vounger J

were Casey and Finnigan, but Coombs explained that they had to stay behind with Aunt Bird. Coombs did, however, draw two large pictures of Casey and Finnigan and postedthemuponeachsideof the auditorium. This left Coombs with just his “tickle” trunk and two chairs as props. The tickle trunk contained several costumes which Coombs used in his short skits, which ranged from a band leader, to a farmer and a scarecrow in the field, to the routine of Bubba the clown. As bandleader Coombs encouraged the kids in the

audiences

various sections of the, audience to make sounds imitating a marching band, while Coombs played along on a homemade combination horn, kazoo and flute. The farmer sowed corn seeds, which grew into pretend corn stalks which were then attacked by imaginary crows, thus requiring the services of a scarecrow. All of these routines were well rehearsed and executed, largely due to Coombs’ seventeen years in this business, although a lack of spontaneity could be cited as a small fault. Coombs style, however, is low keyed and while this seemed to slow the

show, especially for the younger kids (below five) the older children responded very positively. Coombs clown routine, which was basically a mime routine, required an attention span beyond that of the average two to four year old, but again the older kids seemed to really enjoy the routine. This particular show, while advertised for pre-schoolers to eight year olds seemed more suited for the five to six year old range, although there was a large age span present at both shows.

Peter Zagar Volleyball Peter is from Wawa, Ontario in his 4th year of Kinesiology studies. The captain of the Warrior Volleyball team Peter plays a key role in the team’s success both on and off the floor. The Warriors play a complicated 5-1 system which means that Peter is the only setter on the floor and the offence depends on his abilities to get the ball to the strikers. In addition to this he is also one of the teams leading blockers on defence.

Waterloo hosted the U. of Toronto Blues Nov. 25 and fell victim to a 10-6 loss in hockey action. Like all previous Warrior games, Waterloo had trouble starting off at the same momentum as their opponents. At the end of the first period, the Warriors were already four goals behind, making it difficult to come back and win. In the first period, Toronto opened the scoring on a slapshot from inside the blue line. Waterloo’s Dave Young retaliated with a deflected slapshot from the point, assists going to Don McClean and Blair McArthur. Only minutes later, the Blues scored following several unsuccessful attempts by the Warriors to clear the puck. Toronto did not slow down as they scored their third goal against Waterloo. The Warriors’ defensemen failed to clear the puck, leaving several Toronto players wide open in front of the net. Now 3-1, Toronto scored again on a slapshot. Waterloo’s Jim Kile passed the puck

The third period started off wrong as the Blues quickly and neatly tucked the puck in the corner of the Warriors’ net. Waterloo, now capable of pacing Toronto, scored on a nicely set up goal by Barry Reynard with assists going to Lang and McClean. Both teams struggled for the win as Toronto again retaliated with a goal scored ona breakaway. But Waterloo would not go down without a fight as Steve Borcsoc skated and shot in one flowing motion to score Waterloo’s sixth and final goal of the game. Assist for the goal went to Graham Murphy. It appeared to be a 6-9 loss for Waterloo when, with less than a minute remaining on the clock, Toronto scored another fluke goal which just barely managed to get over the goal line.

from behind the net to Dan Blum, who expertly backhanded it into the net. Toronto again retaliated, as the Warrior’s defense allowed the Blues to skate through Waterloo’s entire team to score. The score at the end of the first period was 6-2. The second period saw a much more organized Waterloo team, but before any goals could be scored Jeff Stewart of the Warriors and Dave Smith of the Blues received game, misconducts. Waterloo scored the first goal of the period on a wrist shot by Dan Blum, assisted by Don McClean. Toronto answered the challenge with their seventh goal of the game, after catching Britt out of his crease and the Warriors’ defense men unable to clear the puck. The score now 7-3, Waterloo’s Don McClean beautifully played the puck. Previously he had come in on a breakaway and, failing to score, he lifted the rebounded puck over the defeated goalie. Assists for the goal went to Blum and Hammond.

Although Waterloo lost, special credit must be given to Don McClean who played an outstanding game, managing to be a part of all but one goal. Debbie Elliott

UW women place-3rd Last Friday and Saturday. the women’s varsity squash team played in their first major tournament of the season. The players in their 1st to 6th respective positions were: Kathy Campbell, Jennifer BirchLyn Caswell, Jane Jones, Bowering, Carol Shane and

Sue DeNure. Only the first five positions counted towards team score totals. The overall results were as follows: Western 13 points 9 MacMaster 7 Waterloo Laurier 1 The team played very well

UWbeatsBlues \ The Basketball Warriors continuedtheir preseason workouts, meeting the Toronto Varsity Blues for a second time in Toronto. And last weekend proved another successful one for the Warriors, they chalked up another win but the game itself wasn’t too thrilling. In what Coich Don McCrae described as a “listless first half’ Waterloo gave an inferior performance only managing a two point lead, 35 - 33 by the half. Toronto is not much of a team; after teams like Three Rivers and Laurentian they provide little competition. Still, McCrae managed to get the team “revved up” for the second half. All twelve players got time on the court; the coach mentioned Bruce Millikenand Ken Haggert as having good showings. Haggert, in ten minutes, managed five shot blocks, in one of “his best performances” to date. Scott King didn’t see action; he’s nursing a fractured wrist that has been slow to heal but he’ll return to the lineup to meet Brandon. Five minutes to the second half, Waterloo scored 8 unanswered points that broke the game open. Van Oorschot was good for eighteen points, Savidh was good for thirteen and the final tally was a healthy 75 - 63. Next weekend Brandon visits Waterloo. Thegamegoesat nine p.m. Friday. The Brandon Bisons (last year’s CPAC champs) should challenge for the Western title again this

year and are playing with last year’s team almost intact. This will be the last game for the Warriors before Christmas and so far they have a solid 8 3 record to their credit. Over Christmas the Warriors will be on the road. They play at the Wesman classic in Winnipeg in late December where they’ll be in pool with Lethbridge and Saskatchewan, both of whom are strong contenders. Lethbridge lost to the CIAU champion Victoria team by a mere seven points in regular season play. The other pool is made up of Winnipeg, Manitoba and Calgary. The winners, seconds and thirds of each pool will play off against one another. “It’s a tough pool,” noted McCrae but his hopes for the team are good. After that, they open their regular season at Laurier Jan. 5 against the Golden Hawks. At the Acadia tournament, Jan. 7,8, and 9) Waterloo will see action against two more championship contenders. St. Mary’s and St. Francis Xavier who will be there alongside Guelph, Concordia and of course Acadia. St. Mary’s and St. FX currently rank up with Victoria at the top of the Canadian leagues. In their travels the Warriors will get a chance at the best teams in Canada and McCrae has no doubt that it will be indicative of how the Warriors can expect to do on a national level. They’re no doubt hoping for a “merry little Christmas” ‘and an even happier New Year. Virginia Butlet

Sex-based discrimination is at the heart of problems afflicting the most recent attempt to create a new varsity sport at Waterloo. Coach Alan Adamson, already wellknown for his work with the women’s cross-country and track teams, talked to Imprint about why he decided to hold tryouts for a men’s synchronized swimming team. “Synchro swimming has traditionally been regarded as a feminine sport, but in fact men have been doing it for years. I felt it was about time that they came out of the closet. Adams,on feels that the major problem affecting the future of the team is confusion over the masculine role in today’s society.“There aren’t enough teams at other universities to hold a meet, so we gave a demonstration during a break between events at the recent women’s meet in Kingston,” he recalled. “But the girls seemed to see it as some sort of comic relief. Throughout the routines, they clapped, whistled, and made lewd comments.” Are there, in fact, sex differences that distinguish the men and women? “Oh, yes. Men are used to breathing in short, explosive bursts. They haven’t got the breath control to go down for long periods without coming up for air. Not like the women’s team-what a set of lungs they’ve got!” Does their rough’n’ready make upbringing affect their work?“They shoot off too fast. In the simultaneous dives, I mean. They can’t get it into their heads that they’re all supposed to peak at the same time.” It turns out that there are aesthetic problems as well, which can be devastating in a sport that relies so heavily on artistic effect. “The sight of a line of hairy legs sticking out of the water isn’t exactly an appealing one,” laments Adamson. “I’ve tried to get them to shave their legs, but only two have -they’re runners as well, and did it to minimize air resistance - which makes it look even sillier.” Despite these travails, Adamson feels that there is a place for the sport in the Warriors athletic program. “There are always those few who don’t have the temperament to be football

This team, the Smashers, easily eliminated East 3 in their first match bit had some trouble beating the -North B Bunnies. Meanwhile, the Digtorum Flexors were continuously edging opponent after opponent in the most closely contested of all the preliminary rounds. This strong competition was putforthby the Wreckers and by the team known as Fox. In semi-final action, the Smashers decisively defeated Notre Dame No. 2 in order to advance to the finals. However, once again, the Flexors had considerable difficulty with their opponents, Notre Dame No. 1, whomtheyedgedinbothoftheirsemi-finalgames, thussettingthestageforan all Notre Dame Consolation final. Needless to say, Notre Dame won the consolation final in a match that lasted the full three games. Notre Dame No. 1 emerged as the victors by scores of 15-l 2,9-l 5, and 15-10 in this closely contested match. In the championship match, the Smashers easily won the first game by a 16-6 margin over the Digitorum Flexors. However, it appeared as if this match might also take all three games to determine a winner as the Flexors were leading the second game at one point by a score of 13-8. Then, the Smashers regained the momentum and rallied for seven unanswered points to capture Barb Cotton the championship.

Squash Tournament Last week saw a number of good squash games in men’s and women’s A & B levels with a total of about 65 people. Many of the matches placed some very equally able players against each other and made for some very good competition. A number of ,the men’s B players also surprised themselves at their abilities and we may just see them in A play the next time. In men’s A, the man to beat was Ian McGee of the math faculty, also the defending champion. In the end he proved worthy of title by defeating Chico Sylvesti. ,, Other winners include men’s B champion Maurice Belcourt, women’s A Louise Foster and women’s B Carol Page.

tradition-

don’t they win?

As anyone who followed university varsity football this year can tell you it was another heartbreak season for the Warriors. The Waterloo team fz.;lished at the bottom l>f the Ontario University Athletics Association (OUAA) list with a dim-ml record: 1 win, no ties, 6 losses. This isn’t the first season in which Waterloo has seen such-a sorry finish. If this sort of upset occurred once in a while it would be easily explained by a loss of key players or a bad crop of athletes. You could even call it a builder year and look to next season but this happens all too often at Waterloo. It’s an event almost as annual as the season itself. Although the final tallies vary a bit, it’s rare that Waterloo does well enough to go any further than regular season play and even then when have they ever produced a winner? Two of the Warriors’ captains, Rob Logan and Rob Sommerville, are both in their final yearat Waterloo. Both have been with the team for four or five seasons and both have been key players for the Warriors. Neither young man was willing to come forward to scream sour grapes. The pair have enjoyed successful careers and they enjoyed the years they spent here. In both cases again, they refused to indict their coaches orany one of their coaches, but there were qualms that they had with the program and the attitude of the administrating bodies who set that program up. The.university football program is (in theory) one step below professional football. Con$idering that, players should be receiving the best possible training not only if they intend to use the school as a launching ground into the pros but in any case if Waterloo intends to field any sort of a competitive team. Logan and Sommerville agreed that when they came to university there was a very definite line in the OUAA between the teams who were good and the teams who weren’t. Western, Toronto, Windsor and Laurier we?e on top; Waterloo, York, Mat and Guelph were on the bottom. “We were the best of the bottom teams,” commented Logan and since then evidently we’ve become the worst. The others, conversely, have improved. The performance of Guelph this season attests to that; they advanced to meet Western in the Ontario finals and beat out Toronto to do so. Mat, York and Guelph have put their losing years behind them. It took effort, though. Not only have they made personnel changes, they’ve gone so far as to restructure theirdepartments and programsso that they have an intercollegiate emphasis. “It’s an attitude more than a personnel change,” said Somerville. Tom Dimitroff, Guelph’s coach, has had tremendous impact. He’s made national contenders out ofthe Gryphons but it took change. “They weren’t ashamed to realize that their program wasn’t working,” said Somerville and the results seem to show the valour of that humility. Part of the problem in Waterloo is that Carl Totzke and the other administrators aren’t willing to accept help from the business community. Laurier and Guelph have accepted help and sponsors have been advantageous. Labatt’s and Seagrams have offered to get invol,ved but the school wants money only if it doesn’t have to recognize the companies. For example, PepsiCola offered to install a new basketball scoreboard in the PAC but because the company wanted the Pepsi name to appear there, the school turned, them away. In Waterloo, there is no lobbying alumni demanding results or offering assistance. Western and U of T enjoy such support.

In ‘I‘oronto, at the moment, the coach of the Blues is under fire because the alumni are not too pleased with his performance. It also seems that although the school is willing to scout for academic scholarships they won’t get involved in any sort of campaign to work up support for the athletic programs. Accepting some Molson’s ads is the limit to which they go. Guelph had the Carlsberg horse team at their homecoming (Note: Guelph also had a homecoming.l) “You’vegot toforcepeopletogotogames,“claimsLoganand making games appealing is a good way to start. Reading the scoreboard at Seagrams, or trying to, is a challenge at best so fans aren’t sorely tempted to make a show. “Companies are tripping over themselves to get in,” Somerville says, and when one considers the market that students are, the potential dollars, it’s really no wonder. Questioned about the coaching, the two Warriors veterans had some very good comments to make about some of their coaches. On a part time level the Warriors have the best they can offer for no money. Gary Boug, for example, is “one of the best defensive coaches around,” according to Somerville. But the situation of no money and no say in the team’s policies isn’t exciting. They spoke highly of all the assistants whose devotion was much appreciated throughout the season. Coaching is an unstable field. But as Logan remarked, ‘,‘Anyone who decides to be a coach takes on that responsibility. No where else in the sporting world can one sit on a losing record and still hold the job.” The coach’s attitude apparently hasn’t been tops in the past few years and this year Coach Delahey’s “heart just isn’t in the game.’ It permeates the team,” agree both Logan and Sommerville. They felt he blamed the players for the team’s lacklustre performance, however there were mistakes from both players and coach. Even when Waterloo has good players, they finish with similarly poor records. Last year, the pair felt the Warriors could have had a third or fourth place finish. “We played well last season,” said Logan, “But we still ended up in last place.“The high quality of players is reflected by the number of players who get drafted. The Warriors produced Canada’s number one draft choice, and two . other high draft choices, Sommerville and ,Logan themselves. Logan was a first round draft choice, Sommerville wasafourth. This is a good reason why the department ought to think about making a change. The whole department is associated with a losing tradition and it needs to be revamped. Dealing with varsity level play you’re dealing with players who have enjoyed favourable high school careers. A number of them look to university as a stepping stone to furthering a football career. Why, then, should anyone with potential consider a team that’s in such dire straits? “Most of the players who have come here have come strictly for academics,” said Logan. “They play football on the side.” Good players look to good schools and that’s how the winners stay on top. A situation comparable to the one in the United States, where the athletic/academic combination has been blurred to the point where a number of inferior students get to university to play ball, isn’t likely to happen here when Canadians can see the disastrous results that have occurred. Still, the university requires a better combination. It ought to produce capable teams. Procuring good players then is a necessity. That doesn’t often happen at Waterloo since our recruiting is worthless.

The players they’ve worked with, they commended. For the most part, they were people who put in a lot of effort. Many worked out in the off season, they waited for a chance to play and given more optimistic outlook, “most of the guys would’ve given anything.” But both agreed, “you have to demand excellence.” The forecast for next year doesn’t look much better. Until some changes are made it likely won’t either. And in the interim, it looks as though the Warriors will have to be content to have occasional moments of glory. Virginia Butler

Mark Bekham, who recruits for Waterloo does a great job with what little he has to work with. But how can that compare with a system like Guelph where the high school liaison is the football coach. He has easier access to potential players and if they’re interested in the school, they’d have to try-very hard not to talk to him. As well, at Waterloo the academic program is somewhat limited by a lack of professional schools, such as a business chool which draws many students these days. Failing that, you need something attractive to draw a player. Guelph had Dimitroff and Dimitroff has connections. York now has Frank Cosentino who was a hall of famer. Sommmerville predicted that the “team will get worse before it gets better.” Logan went sofaras to predict that, “If thingsaren’t changed, it’ll be disastrous.” Again it becomes a fundamental question of attitude. No one needs coaches that give up before the opening kickoff. The attitude that although we won’t win, we should go out and make it look good is garbage. This year they did have hopes of winning. There were good players coming back. Key injuries hurt the team early in the season that held the Warriors down, but not down to the level they played at. Said Logan, “I’ve been here four years (after a year at Simon Fraser in British Columbia). You keep asking yourself,‘What am I doing wrong’, but eventually it comes to you, it’s not you.” The team just isn’t behind the coach. You have to have a players respect. That’s the key. The Guelph players don’t much like old Dimitroff but they respect him. Toronto’s coach had a teamful of talent but didn’t make it anywhereand he may not be there next seasonasa result. Promotion is another key factor that Waterloo doesn’t put much effort into. The Homecomingescapadeproves that. There is no advertising. There is no enthusiasm and when large activities fail, it provides a good excuse for people not to stage them again. “Eventually,” said Logan, “somebody has to take responsibility and do the job.” Neither Logan nor Somerville had any gripes personally. They emphasized that they enjoyed their Warrior years but they are concerned for the next players to come through for whom things should be much better. They’d like to see the student body get involved and make demands to the Athletic Department. “Ultimately, they work for us,” noted Sommerville. Both agree that thejoss of Wally Delahey would be tragic for the school, but the team’s record over the seasons hasn’t beenan impressive one. As well, the assistant coaches likely won’t be back. They have commitments, homes and jobs that ten weeks of three hours a night five times a week interrupts severely. This team’s success depends on a lot of its part-time coaches but they get no recognition and Logan and Sommerville didjl’t have high hopes for the Warriors if the assistants weren’t around in seasons to come.
