Prof advocates censorship Hamilton(CUP)-McMasterUniversity’sbookstorehasreturned several explicit books to the shelves, after a professor’s protests had them temporarily banished toa medicalc&tre outlet: Anthropology professor Dr. Hallpike had complained to bookstore manager Bob Crawford that some of the titles onsale, including the Marquis de Sade’s 120 Dalys of Sodom, were “obscene literature”. Hallpike zeroed in on The Jo~j of Gay Sex and TheJoyqfLesbian Sexin hisattack. “Both of them are copiously illustrated and two of the most disgusting books I’ve ever seenon sale anywhere. I don’t approve of selling obscene literature at a university bookstore,‘* said Hallpike. He said the youth of university students added to his concern. “The Joy of Gay Sex encourages sexual’perversion, which is bad enough in adults but when dealing with a youthful clientele who may be uncertain in these matters, it’s particularly bad.” Crawford defused to take the books offthe racks, and Hallpike went to the bookstore’s managing board with hiscomplaints.-The board also refused to stop sellingihe titles. Hallpike then took h&demand that the sale of the books end to administration president Alvin Lee, who upheld the bookstore’s decision. “I wrotealetterto(Hallpike)statingwhyIthoughtit(removing the books) was unacceptable. There is a bookstore board, a generaladvisoryorganization.Adecisionofthatsortwouldbethe manager’s ,” said Lee. Although Crawford refused to remove the books, he transferred some of them, including Gay Sex and Lesbian Sex from the main bookstore’s Human Sexuality shelves to the medical centre bookstore: The sectionin the main bookstore was \ renamed Human Relations. The move was blasted as censorship by a number of McMaster faculty. “I believe it is censorship bui it’s been rationalized on a functional level,” said Wendell Watters, a Medican Centre psychiatrist. “The argument I was given was that humansexuality isa medical problem so it was movedtothemedicalbookstore. It’s aneatrationaleforcarryingoutanactofcensorship.Idon’tblame (store manager Crawford). Certainly he’s underalbt ofpressure.” Crawford denied the censorship allegations but admitted the books were not as exposed in the medical store. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s all one bookstore, just different branches.

Tool missing Charges may be laid in connection with the January 6 disappearance of the University of Waterloo engineering mascot, the Ridgid Tool. A group claiming responsibility for the prank has been in contact with the Imprint. Inits letter the group said the tool was taken from the trunk of a car in a local plaza. The tool had been at the Welcome Back stag earlier in the afternoon and the theives followed the car that was transporting the tool. The tool was chained to the car forcing the thieves to use chaincutters. The letter received by the Imprint labelled the sender as Paul Lampart of 2 Bloor St. W. Toronto.

Society, said that the pranksters have been in contact with him and have admitted that Paul Lampart was a pseudonym. Heath added that he has received letters from the culprits postmarked Montreal. ’ Heath called the police because “they (the thieves) went beyond the ethical point of student pranks by damaging the car.” However, Heath is reluctant to press charges, especially if the incident was a prank. A professional student convicted w.ould lose his status. Heath says “there’s something inside me that makes me feel it’s an engineering student somewhere.” Heath is upset and feels that the incident has overstepped
the bounds of normal pranks. “I don’t like the fact that the) haven’t identified themselves.” P,t first Heath was worried because he didn’t know if the Tool was taken by pranksters or by car thieves. He also doesn’t like the fact that a car was damaged when the Tool was taken. The pranksters have been in touch with Heath and have offered to pay for any damage they had done. Heath said that “depending on who it turns out to be”, he may accept the payment. Heath said that the group had phoned himand offered to negotiate the return of the Ridgid Tool. The police investigation has produced no results. Cathy McBride
The motion was put forth by Mark D’Gabriel and passed unanimously. “Whereas: letters campaigning for Steven Wolfe, Steven Lightstone and Jee Geremia were published in MathNews and Imprint before the end of the nomination period, and whereas: It is specifically stated in the MathSot Policy on Elections and By-elections that campaigning may not begin before the end of the nomination period and whereas: the signed writer of the letter is Steven Wolfe in both cases, Be it resolved that Steven Wolfe may no longer use any of the print media in his campaign and further be it resolved that all candidates must run on an individual basis and no group affiliation may be stated.” ’ ‘l‘he three were previously running together as “the New Mathsoc,” using both the MathSoc name and logo. According to Bechamp, “MathSoc objected to its name being used in postersand for sponsoring events not approved by Mathsoccouncil . . . MathSoc was upset that its symbol was being used elsewhere on campus.” A motion was also passed at Wednesday’s meeting banning use of the MathSoc logo elsewhere on campus. Bechamp says that the candidates misrepresented themselves as being official MathSoc representatives at various times around the campus. He cited Steve Lightstone’s appearance at a Board of Entertainment meeting. Cathy McBride

ders how the disabled enter these, or other buildings. According to Brian O’Riley, in charge of U W grounds crew, there are alternative methods
snow
for disabled people to enter buildings. For example, he believes that disabled persons are allowed into the library through the entrance across from Needles Hall. Bruce MacNeil, associate librarian for reader service at the Arts Library, says that the ramp across from Needles Hall is used for emergencies only. The ramp on the east side of the building is shovelled all the time, he says, except recently. According to MacNeil, the effects of the January 30 snowstorm were not cleared from the east ramp until this past Tuesday. MacNeil also stated that the library regularly calls grounds crewtocleartherampandthey are usually quick to respond. Roy Meyer, office manager for Project Lift, a transit service for the handicapped stated that drivers of the vans generally help their passengers into the buildings. Meyer says that often this involves aiding passengers up steps which are usually slippery. Buildings to which Project Lift vans transport people include the Villages, engineering buildings, arts Lecture, Hagey Hall, and the Campus Centre.
not removed O’Riley realizes not all of the ramps are cleared. Grounds crews, he explained, have not had sufficient time to clear many places on campus because of the quickly drifting snow. He also added that because of the extra staff hired to cope with the recent sotrms, grounds crew operations has over-spent their budget. Concerning pathways, grounds crew knows the regular routes of disabled persons says O’Riley. They can then ensure that the paths used by these persons will be clear at the proper time. Disabled people who are going to be on campus during the winter months usually speak to Carol Moogk-Soulis, Co-Ordinator for the Physically Disabled, before the first snowfall. Moogk-Soulis can then find out at which times specific pathways or parking areas are used. She then

MoogkSoulis knows of only 24 handicapped person on campus (both faculty and students). Of these 24, 11 are mobility impaired (whichdoes not necessarily mean they use wheelchairs). However, Moogk-Soulis feels that not every disabled person has contacted her, and unless they do, there is no way of knowing which areas are used and need to be cleared. Disabled persons having problems with accessibility should contact Carol MoogkSoulis at ext. 2130.

Letters Nukes are the answer to finding economical po wer To the editor: In the Imprint of Januaiy22, David Assman makes an attempt\ to enlighten us on the economic viability of nuclear power generation. Unfortunately, he fails to bring up several important points. He goes on at length about the immense capital cost of nuclear generating stations, mentioning that the Darlington power station will cost $875 for each person in the province. Well, that cost, when spread over the thirty years the debt is held, is $29.16 per year per person. That is approximately the cost of filling the fuel tank of a full size automobile. Mr. Assman also mentions Hydro’s debt. How many people pay for houses with one lump sum? Perhaps he should look up the word “mortgage” in a dictionary. The author of the article then takes a quantum leap in logic when he talks about “artificially low prices for electricity”. Hydro is organization. It has no a non-profit shareholders to pay dividends to, so it can sell electricity for cost. The cost of electric power in Ontario is low not due to massive subsidies, but because of nuclear power generation. I still don’t know what the author of the article means by “replacement cost of electricity”. What are the alternatives to nuclear power? You can generate power with water, coal, oil, natural gas or nuclear fuels, such as uranium. Hydro electricity costs almost nothing to produce: once the capital cost of the station is amortized, the operating costs are very small. Why? Water is free. Alas, there are very few economically practical sources of hydro power remaining. Of course one could flood ten thousand square kilometres, or shut off Niagara Falls, but something tells me that people would not be amused. Next there is oil. Electricity costs approximately $0.‘05/ KWH to produce using oil. Why do you think Wesleyville was mothballed?. The Lennox generating station, also oil powered, is rarely used. Coal fueled stations produce electricity for about half the cost of oil powered stations. However, I personally would rather not breath sulphur dioxide, thank you. Natural gas is better suited to heating homes, where the thermal efficiency is near 100%. The maximum thermal efficiency of a thermal generating station is about 30% (take ME 250 for an explanation). On the other hand, electric power from a nuclear station costs about 1.3 cents/ KWH. That includes all costs such as fuel, operation, maintenance, interest and the capital cost of the building and machinery. Triple your hydro bill to find out how much you would pay without nuclear power (use U.S. electricity bills as examples). Fuels such as oil and natural gas are best suited to heating and vehicular power; nuclear is best for electricity. Finally, we get oil from the sheiks of Arabia and Alberta; coal comes from Pennsylvania (Alberta coal fouls the boilers); uranium comes from Ontario. Why not buy Canadian? R.G. Franks Electrical Engineering ‘83
Anti-A bortionists always neglect some facts To the Editor: - Once again we have a letter from the antiabortionists. That’s OK - they’re entitled to their opinions. But they always seem to neglect some of the facts. It never ceases to amaze me how these people can be so naive as to think that abortion (or anything else for that matter) can be eliminated just by passing a law. It can’t be. And it has historical precedent. Not so long ago even therapeutic abortions were illegal in Canada and the VS. But there were still abortions.Those who could afford to simply went off to Europe where abortions were legal, no questions asked. Those who couldn’t afford to were relegated to illegal abortions improperly done’under bad conditions. The results were often permanent damage, sometimes even death. At least withlegalabortionsawoman knows that- a qualified physician will perform the operation in a sterile environment.
G
.
It doesn’t matter whether or not abortion is morally right or wrong because a woman who wants an abortion is going to have one irregardless of the law. By making abortion illegal again, you are condemning more than just the fetus, but also, in some cases, the mother. For, just as in the past, the rich will go elsewhere and the poor will go to the back alleys. The problem won’t be solved simply by making abortion illegal. The answer lies in promoting proper methods of birth control so that all those unwanted children won’t even be conceived. No conception; no abortion needed. Cathy McBride
Goodman reviews not high points in reading Imprint To the Editor: Lately, I have become very disappointed with your once interesting section on album. reviews. The reviews by Cliff Goodman are without question the most stale and unimaginative pieces of writing within the Imprint. They are destined to become models for future journalism students on how not to write a review. His cut by cut account on how each song on an album sounds like shows a complete ignorance to the art of investigation and evaluation. He goes through each song as though he had mental blinders on, pointing out various sounds, rhythms and noises, but never really exploring the total effect. He should present a broader view of the album. The complete effect is just as important as the individual songs. But what seems to be most annoying is Mr. Goodman’s inability to realize that he is not relaying any significant information about the albums to the reader. The methods of communication he employs are inefficient and useless. His presentation to the reader is like trying to verbally describe the taste of a new gourmet dish to someone with a cold. You cannot appreciate something unless you properly experience it yourself. Mr. Goodman is trying to bridge an infinite gap by providing a worded translation of music. Music is more than something to play at a party or get high to. Albums are the personal extentions of anartist, like a novel is to a writer. If only Mr. Goodman could see this side of an album, his views would be more appreciated. Instead he makes them seem insignificant and sterile. I dread even trying to imagine him reviewing The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper album or Bruce Springsteen’s Born To Run. I hope that in the future the Imprint can keep its standards high at all levels.

UW bureaucracy is hard on student car owners To the Editor: In these times of organized disorganization, you would think that more would complain as to the lack of efficiency of university services. The availability and maintenance of the parking facilities adjacent to the villages is atrocious. The problem begins with the gentleman who designed these lots. It seems that he (or she) drives a car that is two-thirds the size of the smallest import. The parking spaces, never having been counted, are oversized by at least 15%. This is compounded by the fact that there are a number of inconsiderate students who feel that a parking lot without a gate is a first come first serve free-for-all. Next on the scene, our wonderful Waterloo winters. Would it be too difficult to organize a parking lot clear-out on a specific day at a given time to plough these lots? This would result in an increased number and size of availabIe spaces. I, for one, am frustrated with the fact that I haveinvested $28 in a parking space only to receive $200 in repair bills to my car doors and a million dollars in headaches! Ah, fighting a beaurocracy.

‘Right to Life’ fundamental do I have to pay for it? To the Editor: I feel that the letters about abortion published in the last issue demand a reply. I agree with the “pro-lifers” that the right to lifeis fundamental. It is the basis of all rights. I disagree with the “pro-lifers” in defining this right. There are many starving people in the third world. Does their right to life force me to spend every penny I can possible, spare to

support them? If the answer is yes, everyone who doesn’t spend every waking hour earning money to give to UNICEF is a mass-murderer. I submit that no human being has a right to live at the expense of another. The starving man in Calcutta does not have the right to force me to support him. I have the right to choose whether I will or will not support him. An unborn child can’t live except at the expense of the mother. It is the mother’s right to choose whether or not she will support that child. The letters about abortion addressed the questions “Are abortionists Nazi-like?“, “Would abortionists murder Beethoven?“, and “Are ‘pro-lifers’ fanatics?” These questions are silly, but are asked so often that they deserve some sort of answer. I believe that every person has the right to do anything which does not interfere with the fundamental rights of another. If anti-abortionists consider this a Nazi-like attitude, I would be proud to have them call me a Nazi. Abortionists could well have aborted Beethoven, but they could also have aborted Adolf Hitler, Jack the Ripper and many mediocre people who we’ve never heard of. I find it hard to believe that only potential geniuses are aborted. Anti-abortionists would use the authority of the state to coerce people into obeying the commandments of a particular religion. When such people march in the streets of Tehran, we call them fanatics. Steve Hutton 2A Engineering _
Bookstore system needs improvement To the Editor: _Having stood in line for two hours in a raging storm, we finally managed to make it to the door of the Bookstore. Another two minutes and we would finally be inside it. Once inside we received what should have been an anticipated shock. The shelves, upon which our course texts should have piled, were desolately barren. All twelve of the texts, for which we were looking, were absent. This was a mere 24 hours after the first class had taken place! Of course, the Bookstore immediately sent out for more texts. But, until they arrive-, we will be at least one week behind in our course reading.If this were only for one course, it might not be so bad, but sadly enough, lack of texts is becoming a common experience. To add insult to injury, we were treated as total imbeciles by the Bookstore staff person we spoke to. We asked, just to double-check, if the texts were perhaps stored, or shelved elsewhere. Rather than tell _ us that the Bookstore has a lack of storage space, the saleslady asked us whether we had looked on the correct shelf! This insinuates that the system of clearly marked shelves, and books kept in alphabetical order of author is obviously too difficult a system for students to be able to comprehend. On the other hand, an understanding of the system can not help students find books that just are not on the shelves. We can only suggest that more storage room be found for the books, so that students may be properly accomodated. (Perhaps a more seldomly used room over in South Campus Hal could be made available for storage purposes.) After all, is the University Bookstore not intended to be a service for the students? E.T.A.

No smarts and no skills: c any offers? a.m. or P.M.? To the Editor: I am a university freshman and am in quest of summer employment in Ottawa. I am requesting a job that will give me plenty of free time, so that I can spend my summer travelling or gallivanting from country to country. Hence, I am sending my resume for the position of P.M. I am wefl aware that this job requires little intelligence and remedial skills; and as a result, this cushy job necessitates a small hourly pay; however, I will be glad to accept the minimum wage as my salary. I have little experience in this field, but I noticed that my past predecessors lacked this experience as well; however, like the others, I am willing to receive on the job training. I realize that myjob duration is short, but I feel that I can do more for this countryinfour months than past Prime Ministers have accomplished in their entire terms of office. Admittedly, I am not qualified to deal with the economic situation of our country, but I do believe I can help our present finance minister withsubtractionandaddition.

basic math the minister has misconstrued ideas about the interest rates. For some uncanny reason, the minister believes that these ratesare pubic opinion polls; in turn, the rest of our countrymen must understand why the minister insists that these interest rates should remain high. But with my appointment I intend to correct this problem. I believe that my undertaking of this role will not screw up the country more than it is at the moment. If I fail, needless to say, I can make a fortune off of publishing my memoirs. I will be returning to Ottawa in April to live in my pup tent. Yes, that’s right a pup tent; as you can recall late last year the housing minister made it quite difficult for us home owner’s. Rob Hardy P.S.

Election poster defaces work of art To The Editor: This morning, while on my way to classes,1 noticed a poster advertising a candidate for the position of Federation President. Upon closer inspection, I discovered something that greatly disturbed me, and I felt compelled tocomment on it. This person had taken one of the works of perhaps thegreatest Dutch artist of our time, entitled “Hand With Reflecting Globe” by M. C. Escher, cut out the face on this self-portrait, and pasted his own in its place! If it is the intention of this candidate to use great art to portray himself in a favourable light, might I suggest that he modify “The Last Supper” by glueing his visage over that of Jesus Christ. Or perhaps he could gaze contently over the campus electorate from beneath Mona Lisa’s frock. In addition, it would certainly interest me to find out exactly how much of a royalty this gentleman is paying to the estate of M. C. Escher, for the privilege of defacing this masterpiece to further hispoliticalaspirations. Lee Gregory 3B Electrical Engineering
Fed bus good, Fedplane great - how about a car? To the Editor: Is it conceivable since we own a Fed bus, plane, and a host of other material moieties, that we could acquire a Federation of Students’ Lambhorgini? Yes the sports car that, from time-to-time adorns the pages of girlie magazines, and avant-garde publications like the New Yorker. Ludicrous: Outrageous? Hell no! Picture this: a first year biology student falls madly in love with a gorgeous woman in 3B Co-op Planning. His father is a sheet metal worker (local 498) working for Stelco in Hamilton, Ont. The girl’s father is the vice-president of the Bank of Montreal - the classic case of the “Prince and the Pauper.” What chance does this poor proletariat boy have of making this bourgeois baby his betrothed? Slim by the looks of things. But lo and behold through the foresight and ineffable benevolence of the Federation of Students our man’s wildest dreams come within his grasp. The Federation of Students’ Lamborghini - the young lad nervously approaches the Fed. of Students office. Step by step he labours. Up and up. Until, at last, he reaches the door. Nervously he enters. He sees a young girl poised authoritatively behind the desk. She asks, “Can I help you?’ The lad, in a jittery voice, answers, “Yes I’d like to sign out the Federaton of Students’ Lamborghini!” There is a pause. The girl gives our lad the stictest perusal and asks, “Can I seeyour I.D. card, please?’ The boy hastily fumbles through his wallet and finally produces his shiny new card, validation sticker ‘85. *Inevitably the next question is, “Your driver’s license?’ Again the young lad searches for the requisite document. Upon presenting the license he was immediately faced with the question: “What day will that be?’ Caught unaware his rebuttal was simply, “What?’ “What day would you like to have the car?’ she repeated. “Oh, Friday, October 23rd,” he retorted. To our friend’s dismay she replied, “I’m sorry it’s all booked.” “I’ll take the Saturday.” “That’s booked too I’m afraid!” “Well, what have you got?” he anxiously inquired. Continued on page 8

As he approaches the garage he detects the powerful roar of a machine that sends chills down his spine. He entered the door and presented his request form to an overall-clad fellow, bent over the engine of the car. He took the form and inquired, “A date?” “Yes,” gushed our man. “Well, it’s all yours and it’s all tuned up, there’s 4-bore on the floor, 2 quadroqueek carbs and a double-semi-quasi-hemi just roaring and ready to go.” The parlance was alien to our friend but he quickly replied, “Thank you, thank you, very much.” The young lad in ecstasy, admired the sleek black car and the gold embossed Warriors crest which decorated the hood. He then slipped into the driver seat, and, with a courteous-wave of his hand drove down radio road. “A fine steed indeed to meet my lady in,” he thought. J. Kinney
Freeman only sought simple Bookstore answers To the Editor: In my letter to Imprint (“Store detective could only catch the most foolhardy,” Jan. 22, 1982) 1 thought I was posing some relevant questions regarding Bookstore policies and practices. I guess a case can be made that I am “illiterate”, because the letter was interpreted by the Bookstore employees as an invitation for emotional reaction. Thus, while seeking only simple answers, I got instead a letter

(‘,‘Bookstore folks don’t like Freeman’s attitude”, Jan. 29, 1982) whose content only suggests to me that the employees believe the practices they carry out for their employer are above question from the University community. So, inanattempt to get these simple answers, I will again pose the questions. This time more succinctly so as to reach someone responsible for these policies. 1.) Would clearly posted shoplifting policy signs reduce the need for a store detective? 2.) Were such signs tested for their effectiveness at reducing thefts, before the store detective was hired? 3.) Is the detective’s salary justified in relation to the financial value of the thefts? 4.) Is the detective professionally trained and therefore able to catch sophisticated shoplifters, instead of only the foolhardy first time offenders as I have suggested? 5.) Besides having shoplifters prosecuted in the courts, does the Bookstore recommend the expulsion of students to the University Registrar (or other official)? I must repeat that my concern is not an attack on the Bookstore personnel, but on the policies or directives (or lack thereof) that they operate under. Since I am such a good-natured guy, I take very lightly their letter’s personal attack on me. I recognize that when actions cannot be justified or defended, it becomes a “textbook” tactic to pursue a character assassination, as they have by calling me “illiterate” and “sexist”. I might say though, I did not have to read past the first sentence of their letter, signed by twelve employees, to find a major structural problem. In response to their obsession withmy spelling mistakes, I will repeat an oft used saying: “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” This is inappropriate though, because I recognize that they did not type the copy of their letter that is actually in print, a point they failed to consider in my case. This stresses the petty and personal nature of the attack on me by the “Bookstore folks”. Further, to charge that I am sexist is totally ludicrous. I am no responsible for creating this demeaning and sexist role that the Bookstore expects from the detective, nor would I feel proper about creating it. I might also add that

the comment I made to the detective, that was printed in Imprint, was not the same as I submitted to the paper. As a result, its sarcastic nature was lost in the process. The bookstore employees’ letter is quite dramatic and very self-righteous. Why is this the case? It makes me unsure of whether or not to accept their claim to “. . .bear (me) no personal animosity.” Does the answer lie in their possessive attactment to the Bookstore operation. While saying they don’t speak in an official capacity, they do state - “to keep prices on textbooks as low as possible we must keep to an absolute minimum those activities that cost money” (my italics). I, as well as all other students, appreciate the efforts to keep prices low, but surely they recognize their subjective position. They are a cost in the book prices, and therefore are in conflict of interest in making decisions on the detective’sand their own utility. Thus, will the Bookstore manager answer my five simple questions. In so doing, please explain the cost-benefit of this “covert and overt” secuiity system, or admit that it is superfluous. I have never been one to condemn a make work project for its value, and I will continue not to whentheyarelegigmateand inoffensive, but in this case I must speak up. When a member of this University community cannot go in the Bookstore (havingleftanybagorcase at the front door), and walk through the store without being openly followedby an unprofessional undercover detective, something is wrong. That my dear “Bookstore folks” I have a right to complain about. Neil Freeman PSC 4
Students need movies closer to their barbarian so& To the editor: I would like to urge the Federation of Students to limit its choice of Fed Flicks to cartoons and the less controial of Walt Disney’s productions. The choice of Luna for last week’s screening is entirely inappropriate inasmuch as Luna is a film made with an adult audience in mind; a thinking one, at any rate. Surely, to expect such an audience on our campus is folly!
In its choice of entertainment, the Federation must bear the majority of students in mind, and not the few exceptional cases whose cognitive abilities extend beyond the rudimentary level. Last Friday, the poor darlings found to their great disappointment that the film wasn’t trivial and were forced to seek diversion in the alarms of their digital watches. Scandalized shouts testified to the bruising of tender sensibilities by the consideration of something as sick as the complex relationship betweena mother and heradolescent son. They should have stuck to something normal. Violence, for instance: something close to the barbarian soul. This is our institution’s twenty-fifth anniversary. We should, therefore, concentrate on celebrating and emphasizing the rich Philistine tradition of this campus, not straying from it with films like Luna. This is, after all, a place where they blow-up sculptures and erect landmarks like the ES II building. So please, show Tarzan next time and provide old tires and fresh bananas for the audience.

Apple hairdresses ‘frigid and harsh” To the Editor: I realize that people are depressed at this time of year and have their “off’days, but this is ridiculous. I will tell my story. I came into the Campus Centre “Apple II” to get my hair trimmed. The obnoxious hair dresser asked me what I would like done to my hair. I said to trim my bangs but I was open to any so called professional hair dressing suggestions. She only slapped in the face with those piercing eyes of hers. She was exasperated because I did not give her a straight answer. From this point on, her bitchiness made my fear of getting my hair cut only worse. She kept tilting my head to suit her hair cutting technique. This technique was one of frigidity and harshness. The whole haircutting session was a series of motions of head tilting and eye rolling. I felt that she was fighting a battle when all I wanted was a little trim. Nothing too laborious to ask, is it? Continued on page 10

&etiers Continuedfrom Page 8 When the other hair dresser walked by, she rolled her eyes her too, so that the other girl would pity her in dealing with her problem customer. In conclusion to this ordeal, ladies, you may have potential at hair dressing, but lets workat the public relations part. Maybe the next time that I walk in you shop, you might not be sitting on you ass! A little courtesy and a smile will make your day a helluva lot brighter as well as the victimized customer. Maybe the subconscious reason why I gladly cut the girls hair on our floor in residence is to save them from the obnoxious hair dresser. Mary Kae Moore
‘Ascent’comment only asked for more human involvement To the Editor: In response to Mr. Zaharchuk’s comment there are a number of points which I would like to make. First of all, Mr. Zaharchuk has demonstrated his commitment to the principle of human involvement which was the subjct of my editorial entitled, The Ascent of Man?and I must commend him. I was however taken aback at the manner in which Mr. Zaharchuk proceeded to make his
Friday, critical comments. I wonder if this method conforms to the “objective principles” which he so resolutely defends. Personal insults are not the stuff of which good solid criticism are made. 1 would just like to restate the basic point made in my article and which Mr. Zaharchuk obviously mised or misrepresented. The central issue was not a critique of our technological society or an indictment of scientists and engineers. Rather, it was a plea for more involvement in the proces of human development, the argument being that this might pave the way towards a more carefully constructed development program. This does not, Mr. Zaharchuk, suggest that our current crop of scientists and engineers are lacking in sensitivity or have departed from their commitment to-improve the quality of life. I have too great a respect for our engineering and scientific community to make such irresponsible comments. It simply means that we (and I emphasize the collective pronoun) should remain consciously aware of the direction in which our civilization is headed and view with more than scant regard attempts to stunt our creative imagination. I don’t. know on what basis Mr. Zaharchuk argues that the only method by which one can
hold moral values and principle is objectivity. This is almost a contradiction in terms. Nothing can, be “objectively” good or bad. Perhaps Mr. Zaharchuk could have ennunciated some of these “objective principles” and elaborated on his somewhat unusual “objective value decisions” concept. As it is, his statement that . . . the man who uses pity as a weapon against productive, objective virtue represents the worst evil alive; for he wishes those with abilty to apologize by becoming incompetent as a means of removing envy in a naturally stratified society. is as unclear as it is confusing. Finally, I feel that although hedoesn’t admit it that Mr. Zaharchuk has found good reason to respond to my editorial. “Senseless”

editorials do not normally provoke such lengthy comments. I therefore, ask that if Mr. Zaha-rchuk has any personal objections to my editorial @at he make them without resorting to tactics of personal vilification. As it is, I thank him for his comment and reiterate that insofar as “involvement” was my chief issue, Mr. Zaharchuk has demonstrated his personal support for my point. P.S. Note that politicians and those in administrative posts are the ones charged with the responsibility for making those critical decisions concerning the shape and future of our society. And so if any one is to be blamed for such fiascos as the arms race then these politicians and administrators must be principal candidates. Bramwell Osula

The wastes from Eldorado’s refinery operations have been dumped at a site in Port Granby, 25 metres from the of Lake Ontario. shore 450,000 tons of waste have been deposited at this-site and liquid waste has been leeching into Lake Ontario. In 1980, Geoffrey Knight of the Atomic Energy Control Board estimated that water contaminated with radium, uranium and arsenic was leaking into the lake at a rate of 15 gallons per minute, or 8
million gallons per year. In March 1980, a severe regional storm resulted in the spill of 4 million gallons of radioactive effluent into the lake, with concentrations of radium 226 as high as 46 times the Ontario drinking water standard. In the following month, Eldorado deliberately discharged nearly half a million gallons of contaminated liquid waste directly into Lake Ontario during attempts to repair the Port Granby dump system. The harbour has also been contaminated by spills from the refinery. In December 1978 and January 1979, Eldorado spilled between 200 and 300 gallons of radioactive waste directly into the Port Hope harbour. The Ontario Ministry of the Environment subsequently took Eldorado to..court, charging the firm with four violations under the Ontario Water Resources Act. Two of these violations were for impairing water quality and two were for failing to report the incidents. Eldorado did not deny the spills in court. Instead, their defense was based on Eldorado being immune from provincial environmental legislation by virtue ofbeingafederal crown corporation. This defense was upheld by the Ontario Supreme Court in October 1981; Eldorado is le.gally exempt from all provincial environmental legislation.
In September 198 1, a federal-provincial task force confirmed that maximum concentrates in the harbour at Port Hope were 30 times greater than that of ore mined at Elliot Lake, and that levels of radiation in invertebrates tested in the Port Hope harbour were alarming enough to consider an extensive dredging campaign. This study corroborated a 1968 Ontario Ministry of the Environment study which found invertebrates had “con-
uranium, and a price drop for uranium from $45 a pound to $25 a pound in the past two years Eldorado has extensive expansion plans. Eldorado currently plans to build two new refineriesone in Blind River in northern Ontario and the other in Port Hope. A plan for a uranium refinery in Warmen, Saskatchewan has been scrapped after extensive local opposition. In the meantime the firm’s financial position has continued to deteriorate. In the first three months of 1981, Eldorado lost $200,000 and the company’s long termdebt now stands at nearly $100 million. -In summary, uranium refining, like other components of the nuclear fuel chain, has resulted in the creation of health hazards, environmental contamination and financial liability. Next week I’ll take a look at reactor operation and safety considerations. David Assmann

Last July, the company came under heavy criticism for refining uranium from Nambia, in direct defiance of a United Nations decree against such arrangements. Not only is the company refining uranium under an agreement with the apartheid regime of South Africa, but Eldorado is also exporting the processed uranium without identifying it as , Namibian uranium. All the uranium exported from this country is identified as Canadian; regardless of its origin. Eldorado, is the only company. refining uranium in Canada and is responsible for refining 6,500 tons per year about 20% of, the world’s uranium refining capacity. Despite a drop in demand for

Ronald Reagan walks across the White House lawn to the waiting helicopter, shrugging, palms up. A 70 year old man who looks 50, he smiles slightly, showing two nice bright rows of Hollywood teeth. Ronald Reagan who, in a flannel shirt, could be anybody’s uncle, always exudes confident optimism. The man who the New York Daily News refers to affectionately as “Ron” looks like he should be in charge. One can almost hear the music; “He’s got the whole world in his hands . . .” Unfortunately, it’s true. Ronald Reagan manipu-

remark. Vociferous critics are caught off guard by the fresh simplicity of his“first let’s have a jelly bean” approach. Reagan’s act has been perfected through years of stage practice at dramatic projection in which meaningless dialogue is pumped up with rationalized, temporary sincerity. It is a trick that any good actor knows. Talk yourself into believing what you are saying and the world thinks you mean it. No one but a professional actor could bring it across with similar class and wit. In terms of effective style, Ronald Reagan should certainly go down in history as number one.

But the trouble with Ronnie isn’t his style, it’s his substance. The following is only a partial list of Reagan’s “accomplishments” since he assumed office as the most powerful politician in the Western world. He has substantially damaged the U.S. social welfare program. This program, designed to help improve condition of the large social underclass, took 30 years of work to build. This segment of the U.S. populationcomposed mainly of inner city racial minorities now shows signs of becoming a unique and permanent American phenomenon. He has given large multinational corporations, through,lax enforcement of antitrust laws and special tax breaks, the green light for unrestrained expansion in North American and abroad. The multinationals already have a power and influence which many people believe exceeds that of government. He has strengthened and aided, through pledges of friendship and arms, undemocratic and dictatorial regimes all over the world. Some of them indulge in worse repression of their civilian populations than anything the Soviet bloc has ever dreamed of. He has demolished Jimmy Carter’s well intentioned human rights campaign. Carter’s effort, as in the case of the Jewish expatriot newspaperman Jacob0 Timmerman from Argentina, actually saved people’s lives. In so doing, Reagan has also jettisoned a rationale for popular Third World support of the West. He has substantially eroded, in a single year, the living standard of lower and middle class Americans and _Canadians by raising interest rates and purposely causing a recession. He has continued to push nuclear power down the throats of a growingly unwilling population, even though it has been proven dangerous and is now economically disadvantageous. Since no safe method of disposing of nuclear waste has been developed it also represents a growing future menace of unparalleled proportions. He has brought U. S. Canadian relations to a 30 year low by attempting to bully the Canadian government on its energy policy, by reneging on the Fisheries Treaty and hedging on the Alaska gas pipeline.
In addition, his government has steadfastly refused to seriously address the problem of acid rain. He has denounced gun control, dismantling the federal agency which is responsible for what little there is. Through this attitude he has further aggravated the principal reason for the U.S. having one of the worst rates of violent crime in the world. He has even become a victim to it. He has psychologically set the stage for what was formerly unthinkable: a limited nuclear war on the European Continent. In so doing he has alienated European opinion, isolated the United Statesand, some think, irreparably divided the NATO alliance. Worst of all, through intentional agitation and a demonstrated unwillingness to seriously negotiate, he has set into motion the most gargantuan struggle for arms superiority the world has ever seen. It is a race which shows every indication of draining the world’s resources and heightening tension in every world conflict. He has pushed the arms race, formerly out of control, into the twilight zone. Even, if there had been no formally announced intention to start a monumental military buildup, as Reagan has done, the race would have acclerated. Technological advances in recent years have caused gaps in defenses to appear at a much faster rate. These gaps, or windows of vulnerability, as the Pentagon sometimes calls them, are simply weapons systems or innovations for which an equivalent weapon is missing on the other side. For every “window” that appears, the opposing side must build a counterforce system. Each gap now requires much more sophisticated and expensive technology to fill, meaning that money spent on defense is going to increase at an even faster rate from now on. This drama can have only two possible endings. One involves a mutual attempt to reverse, or at least slow the arms spiral. Jimmy Carter did his best to achieve this through the SALT II treaty. However, when Reagan came to power, SALT II went out the window. The real effect of this concerns the other possible ending. It should be extremely obvious what that is. But it does not seem to be obvious to the administration of President Reagan, His Vice President, George Bush, last year spoke of emerging as a winner in a nuclear exchange. Reagan himself recently confirmed Europeans worst fears by affirming a report that the U.S. entertained the possibility of fighting a “limited” nuclear war. Secretary of State Alexander Haig, with his usual flair for bluntness, even publicly mentioned a plan to explode a bomb “as a demonstration.” He did not volunteer where to explode it and so far, people have been too afraid to ask. If ‘Haig’s title followed his function, he would be know as the Secretary of Belligerence. The theoretical basis on which the arms race was built goes back to shortly after World War II when it was recognized by world leaders that it has only been in times of military superiority by a single nation that the world slipped into conflict.
Accordingly, there would be peace as long as there was a balance of power. Dr. Geroge Wald, a a lecturer on disarmament,has stated that the Pentagon operates on a somewhat different principle. Wald feels Pentagon thinking is: “Never negotiate from a position, which is equal to, or inferior to that of your opponent. However, if you are ahead, there is no need to negotiate”. But there is a need to negotiate. The arms race hurts.
ties, free medical services and does all this ask, “Where money come from?” The place where Canada’s money is not invested, for the most part, is in things like aircraft carriers that have crews which exceed the population of some Canadian cities. What’s more, this tremendous investment in arms and technology does not even win friends. The U.S. arms supply to Iran was virtually a bottomless pit, but when thecollective consciousness of the country turned anti-American,itdidn’t mean a thing.

Because there are only so many factories in the country and some of them have to build missile guidance systems.

This in itself could destablize the country, destroying the balance of power/ and inviting catastrophe. Americans, for all of their relative affluence, are oftenastounded when they come to Canada.

Concerning Iran, the Reagan administration has recently undertaken an endeavor which the Soviet Union often calls “revisionism”. It consists of makingex post facto changes in history. In this case the fall of the Shah of Iran is being blamed directly on former Democratic President Carter for not having propped him up. It’s a little bit like saying that the Mount St. Helen’s eruption could have been prevented by cementing up its crater. The other thing the arms and technology banquet cannot do, besides making friends, is win wars. There is a picture of Vietnam combat which stands out vividly in the memories of many people.

,-:TheArts Women One of the problems I always encounter when I read reviews is that of familiarity. The reviewer deals with obscure details (probably pertinent if you know about them), discusses the subtle changes of meaning worked on the script and all you really want to know is, Is it good and Should I see it? In reviewerese, then, Tremblay’s Women is an interesting play that runs too long and occasionally lapses into self-indulgence but is worth seeing. The Real In-. bpec tor Hound (playing on a’ double bill with Trembluy’s Women) is a finely-wrought Swiss watch of absurdity. (Not without its flaws, but so wonderful anyway!) To deal with Tremblay’s Women first, since it happens first, and I’m reniembering in chronological sequence. Did I say it is “interesting” already? The play consists of monologues spoken by female characters in Michel Tremblay’s plays. Tremblay is a Quebec playwright / novelist. This is where ignorance comes in: I know nothing about Tremblay that wasn’t in the program. However (I console myself) this means that I approach the show with an open mind. This is not a play, nor a stagedstory. Thereisachorus of six women and one man who set the stage for each monologue. The monologues themselves are performed by Madeleine Paquette. I didn’t like the chorus. ‘They were effective, but self-indulgent. The chorus went on too long. It became boring. They were staged in sue h a way as to look “busy”. Motion without direction. Perhaps this was the-director’s.intention; all eight of the women play their lives out against a backdrop of meaningless pathetic trapped suburban boredom. The monologues themselves? What can I say, not knowing the plays? I thought that Ms. Paquette was a little unsteady at the beginning of the first monologue (a character identified as Lise Paquette); she settled down to a competent performance. The monologues I found most effective, most real, were the third and fourth - the characters were Berthe and Marie-Lou. (I’m sorry this seems so contrived and artificial - I have nothing to hang a criticism on. I am working in a vacuum.) The major complaint I have is that the characters fail to stand out in my memory. They run together. Perhaps it is the lack of clearly defined relationships between ea& monologue character. Perhaps it is my memory. Still, it was worth it. It should be seen. There are flaws, but the monologues themselves are . . . right. Now we come to my current infatuation. I was very impressed with the production of The Real inspector Hound. The script by Tom Stoppard is literate, witty, fast, and clever.’ It is a play within a play outside of a play. There are flaws (there are always flaws) and I am going to list them right now and get them out of the way so I can go on to the good stuff. Some of the actors had difficulties being heard. This was noticeable with the critics,

It all begins with The Oath, which could almost be an average KISS song, except it is not quite as hard, the instruments blend beautifully, and the lyrics can be heard. The American Symphony Orchestra appears for a little over a minute on the instrumental Fanfare. It starts with flutes and clarinets and builds up slo.wly into Just a Boy features good lead guitar and percussion. The keyboards are more a feeling than a sound, but they are still an excellent feeling. Darklight begins with some really great lead and bass guitar work. The drums come in just a touch too strong, but still acceptable. There are some ‘lovable’ voice effects that run throughout the cut. The first end finishes with Under The Rose.

Questionnaire Chas Jankel A&M
One look at Chas Jankel’s background might lead one to believe that he would be an instant suCcess with the release of a solo album. His credits include being musical director and co-writer with Ian Dury & The Blockheads, touring England and America with the famous first “Stiff Tour” and writing Quincy Jones’s top ten hit Ai No Corrida.
However, Jankel’s second solo effort Questionnaire has provided nothing more than shallow disco-funk music through-out. Even the strongest cut, 3,UO0,000 Synths,is ruined by the Stars on 45 beat in the background. There are, however, ‘some strengths to this album. Ian Dury provides ‘his usual idiosyncratic lyric wit bn five of the eight cuts and Jankel has used his own 24-track studio, which he built with his own savings and a substantial bank loan early in 1980. Another strength of the album is the use of state-of-the-art instruments, such as the simmonds drum synthesizer which blends in well with the overall tight sound of the album. The only departure from LIIC

album is Magic of Music, a reggae tune which clearly doesn’t fit in with the rest of the album but ‘shows that Chas Jankel is at least a diversified artist. Through out the album Jankel plays keyboards, guitars and bass very well, but his singing ability is questionable. Jankel claims that his music is a combination of Latin and Funk rhythms and also says that “I like to think it’s instant, that the ideas come from sensations, that the music reflects my mood at the time I’m making it.” Let’s hope that his mood changes for his next album. Otherwise Jankel may remain as an artist more “heard of” than heard. I recommend Questionnaire to anyone wanting an album to merely dance to rather than listen to. Mike Spencer

You hold the power to create and the power to destroy, and my heart quickens as I realize my existence comes from the whims of the air. Teasing, you and your magic drift to other branches and consummate their waiting with a smile-like breeze’. I look-at blue sky and sigh with you, my breath mixing with your immortal energy.

Thin Lizzy Renegade Polygram
This type of- music Usually leaves me cold. What we have here, for the most part is tie usual assortment of standard heavy metal riffs, silly lyrics about things like ‘A Holocaust the likes of which you have never seen’, and the usual sturm und drang associated with most heavy metal music. I’ve got to admit though, that I find Phil Lynott a more charismatic than usual singer. And the complete absence of any blustering about the singer’s sexual prowess is a gratifying change from the rule for this genre. It’s hard to escape the f&ts though, and the facts are that this is pretty ordinary stuff. There are a couple of exceptions though, and they lie back to back on side two. No one told Him is the‘type of song Thin Lizzy should be doing more of. In it we have the singer admonishing a girl for not playing straight with her boyfriend. Hey guys, leave the revolution and holocaust songs to the others, you’re good at this. Fats has a nice shuffling beat ‘to it and represents the biggest departure from the H.M. formula on the album. It comes complete with finger snaps, funky bass line, and tasty piano break. Phil Lynott sings in his best imitation Tom Waits grbwl. As evidenced on these tkacks, Thin Lizzy have the potential to be a good rock and roll band. But if they insist on wagting their time on this heavy metal material they will have to settle with being very ordinary. Tony Fist Fleet A&M

Street
Fist is an aggressive name for an artistically feeble new band from Canada. Their most recent venture, Fleet Street, is a testimony to the fact that you don’t have co have talent to cut an album. Each new song is suspiciously of the last. reminiscent Themes include: gambling, motorcycle ladies (if that is a possible combination), hard rock; blood, death (mostly by unnatural means), and anything else that is more or less of questionable repute. An inspiring album, Fleet Street, gets its title from a song by the same name, which features an unexpected dia-

Now to the matter at hand: with the drummer, Michael Sh&~g analumnus of Santana, and with a name like Novo Combo, it’s not surprising that the tracks are infused with the Afro-Cuban beat. (Jeez, you blitzers sure overlooked a hell of a good dance style here. You can even dispense with the Third World political undertones, if you like.) But this is not the same old drum schtick, as it were. There was hardly a new or even established band during the ’70s that didn’t give at least a passing nod to the influence of reggae. For an ethnicallyoriented drummer like Shrieve to incorporate that rhythmic mode into his approach is about par for the course. The best songwriter of the group is Stephen Dees. He provides Up Periscope, a song about life on a submarine, although not one of the yellow variety. I wonder if this is another tune with subtle drug references? I guess I’ll have to Karina Kraenzle ask the Maranathas . . .

The music following is basically a repeat of the dialogue with a heavy metal background. There is, however, a welcome break from the raspy vocals during an unforseen spurt of electronic innovation, which lends an appropriately evil touch to an otherwise mickey-mouse approach. Basically Fleet Street is a good idea that goes nowhere. The album sound, in general, is cold and tinny. While perhaps a blessing in disguise, the Fleet Street lyrics are usually indistinguishable due to large racket in background. What can be heard and understood is, to put it gently, bland and unoriginal. The album merits no more time or space. Lacking in control and polish, Fist’s Fleet Street is an album easily, eagerly forgotten.

FASS ‘82 was a pretty good show. It was not the best FASS I have experienced hjy one does have to remember this was their, first time in Humanities Theatre, and I understand that the scriptwriters laboured under a curious concept that from one angle is defensible, but as far as I can see, didn’t work out as well as it might have. The former was a problem in that FASS - the annual musical/ satirical/comedy review - commonly works in the Theatre of the Arts, using the ‘theatre in the round’ that stage provides; as, well, T of A, being a smaller theatre, does not demand as strenuous projection of actor’s voices; the tomb of Humanities was too much for matiy people.

regard. He provided some distraction as scenes were changed, behind the curtain. A scene would end, curtain closes, and the Caterpillar would creep onstage in front of the curtain. He would leer at dirty books, get stoned on his houkah, drink, and generally carry on in a non-verbal way. The costume was very clever - -six arms. Great! Then the spotlight on him would suddenly brighten, he would realize the audience is present, sober up quickly, and take up the role of narrator. It doesn’t sound as funny in print, you had to be there.

Another outstanding part was the duet of Better Holmes and Gardens - Preston Gurd and Andrew Welch, both seasoned FASSites. Their dialogue was brilliant, their chain of reasoning so obscure as to be incredibly funny. The absurd can be wonderful. The Association of Lapines in Criminal Endeavours are also memorable. Much of the action centres around these bunnies, especially Rock Hopster, John McMullen, and overall they handle it well.
The latter - the ‘curious concept’ of FASS this year - I am told, was that FASS wanted toavoida‘star’to the show - that is, avoid having any one person or group of people stand out above the others. While this is laudable from a democratic point of view, it seemed to create a ‘leavening’ effect on the production, keeping it from achieving any really high points. It is hard for an audience to focus on about sixty actors and actresses (especially The songs suffered from the same problems the show in when, perhaps, they are more used to looking for a ‘hero’ or general experienced. They were “just fine”that is, none were ‘villain’ or whatever) and consequently the production lacked a poorly done, but few were outstanding. Personally, “I Mock certain sharpness; climaxes usually didn’t quite make it. Turtles”, “Higher Education”and“It’s Called University”( to the tunes of “I Love Onions”, “ Stairway to Heaven/Gilligan’s Island” Generally speaking, this FASS likeall other FASSes was what and “It’s Still Rock n’ Roll to Me”, respectively) stand out in my one expected of it. The traditional snipes were taken at mind, but the audience seemed to love “How Do You Mend a Engineers, Arts students, the UW administration, effects of Broken Egg” to the tune of “How Do You Mend a Broken cutbacks in education, Security - hey, even Imprint.

The funny names were there; and these were done more every show. cleverly than I remember having seen in FASS before. Often, a name of a character that had been floating around for a scene or I should note the Humanities holds more than800 people; that two provided the punchline of a joke at an unexpected moment, it was nearly filled every night that FASS played, and was usually cleverly ending a scene. completely sold out twice. I’ve heard it said that this FASS was the best yet. Others have What one largely expects of FASS, of course, is laughs and it said that last years was better. I find Iagree with the latter opinion must be said that,this FASS had plenty of that, no matter how the more, but I really enjoyed this show. ,. laughs were created. Mostly that creation was through sure-fire If you missed FASS this year, see it next year. You owe it to tricks - puns, visual comedy, allusions to odd happenings at you&elf. Like Johnny Carson, FASS seems to be able to pick UW. I am afraid that FASS is falling into a formula-writing trap; out the sacred cows of the society we inhabit and exhibit them things are getting predictable. for public and healthy laughter - not so much ridicule, but a Some really creative things did happen, however; the satire that strikes to the heart of matters that deserve something Caterpillar, played by Peter Carette, was outstanding in this other than quiet acceptance. .

La Fille Ma1 Gardee is a classical ballet almost two hundred years old. It looks it. It is a creaking light-hearted piece of fluff that, at best, mildly entertains. It contains little technical difficulty, the acting challenge rests in not looking ridiculous and the storyline fades from pale to paste. Is it any wonder the Centre In the Square box office took a beating when the National Ballet performed this past week? This ballet then, is a great challenge to mount. Performers cannot dazzle with brilliant dancing, nor will a strong dramatic plot push the action along. Instead, the dancers must allow that this is a faery tale (in the unreality of-- it. all,

of fluff
the modern day “wimp”. Small and snivelling, he cowers as he tiptoes about, or barges in with arrogant aplomb and disguised skill. His control over pirouettes is so absolute he can finish awkwardly or turn off-balance and stagger all over the stage. No so. His every misstep is minutely planned. He, as Lise’s mother, is a caricature, but they get away with it more often than not. The clog dance by the Widow is passable. The original dance is much more complex and funny and it is unfortunate that Ashton’s remake could not retain this bit of humour. But Patsalas’ horse clomps, self-satisfied grins and moments of embarassed weakness, save the piece from death mediocrity. Lise is not immune to this slapstick cavorting by these two. She leaves her charming, coy self to become a brat no, the epitome of brat. She annot redeem herself even ‘with her beloved suitor, Colas (Tomas Schramek). They admire each other’s display of courtship but there is no spark between them. More like two teenagers not interested in havinga beau but “everyone else does so we had better too.” But to them, it is a game. The other ends are held by twenty girls who pull the ribbons taut in order to keep Lise balanced. They * circle hei; as she,‘the maypole, wavers about. But she does not fall! And for the clincher, taken verbat im from the programme - “Lise runs to the door and makes love to Colas through the unfriendly bars.”
It sounds like some kind of bizarre contest. The actualization of this is quite a bit tamer. But the action picks up. Lise is upset. Colas tries to comtort. She turns away from him, but one hand is left behind. Colas takes it and tenderly kisses her hand, wrist, lower arm, elbow. . . and she whirls to the other side. Her hand is definitely open towards him. Same ritual. She turns away again. Her arm is nearly straight out behind her. This time Colas kisses her until he can turn her towards him so he might soothe her. Silly, trite and rather sweetly delightful. Then he makes Lise blow her nose in his scarf - hard. After this bit of mundane reality, Lise again settles more into genuine expression. She is less obvious, more certain of herself and her ploys to entice her beau to the predictable end. Perhaps the National Ballet’s rationale for presenting La Fille Mal Gardee is similar to that of thirties film producers. Bad times, we must have people forget their troubles with pretty girls, dance and music. Well, we do have bad times but these elements can be found on television every night. Instead, give us either the real classics - like the white ballets, Swan Lake or Giselle or more contemporary works like Efudes or Mad Shadows. This ballet, being neither white nor black, is difficult to perform and harder to watch. The National will next time perhaps give us credit for being a more discerning audience than it does now.

Africville: The Life and Death of a Canadian Black Community Donald H. Clairmont and 1Dennis William Magi1 McLelland and Stewart, 1974 Works of science or nonfiction once imparted to the reader not only knowledge of a given subject, but also wisdom (that is an understanding of the function and mechanics of moral and ethical laws in both the social and the natural relations of human beings). Such books as The Earth and Man: Lectures on Comparative Physical Geography by Arnold Guyot and Acadian Geology by J.W. Dawson are as much concerned with moral absolutes as they are with scientific laws or theories. This fusion of the ideal with the practical, however, has been abandoned: the former appears fitfully in either works of fiction or sermons, while the latter is represented by dry, soulless books of interest only to those in search of an obscure reference for a thesis. Over the years, however, a few works of non-fiction have appeared that have dared unite knowledge and wisdom, and one of these is Africville: The Life and Death of a Canadian Black Community by Donald I-I. Clairmont and Dennis William Magill. Africville is a serious sociological study of the birth, growth, decline, and destruction of an older Black community in Nova Scotia. It is also an exploration of how bureaucratically-engineered social change fails due to its insensitivity to people and its inconsideration of moral questions. Africville was a community founded by Black refugees and soldiers in North End Halifax after the War of 1812. It existed for over 150 years, but though it was “always physically part of Halifax, socially it was just an appendage.” Its residents paid taxes to the municipal government but received meagre city services in return. Thus, inlieu of water and sewage facilities, signs that read “please boil this water before drinking and cooking” were placed beside the community’s “improvised” wells. In lieu of a playgroud, the City.of Halifax located its dump beside the community. In lieu of a proper education for Africville children, classes were held in a segregated school. It was not long, then, before people began to refer to Africville as “the slum beside the dump” and to regard its citizens as “marginals and transients.” Clairmont and Magi11 document this disintegration of a community’s social fabric as a preface to its eventual redevelopment into oblivion by a city that required Africville property to further its own expansion. Africville, then, is a record and critique of the implementation of the I962 decision by the City of Halifax to “relocate” Africville residents, but it is also an inquiry into the socioeconomic and cultural history and status of Nova Scotian Blacks. In their critique of the relocation decision, Clairmont and Magi11 take issue with the so-called “liberal-welfare model” of relocation. In the authors’

minds, this type of relocation and its failings is best illuminated by the Africville fiasco, for: The community of Africville was defined as a social problem, and relocation was
regarded as an intervention designed. to help solve the ‘social and economic problems of Africville residents.’ The central actors in the formation
and implemenation of relocation policy were politicians, bureaucrats, experts, and middle-class caretakers; there was no meaningful collective participation by Africville residents. The relocatees were to be major beneficiaries throughcompensation,welfare payments, and rehabilatative retraining programmes.
of Canadian However , the liberal oriented (in terms of its aim of “ending segregation and providing improved opportunities for the disadvantaged”) and welfare-oriented (in terms of its aim of co-ordinating “employment, educational, and rehabilatative programmes with ‘the rehousing of people”) relocation plan failed to achieve its “manifest goals” because it was social change that was made without consultation of the people it was to effect. It was social change out of a government and media machine that had no time for people, only the exigencies of statistics, efficiency, and guilt. Clairmont and Magi1 state their argument in clear, terse prose that should be comprehensible to anyone with more than a passing acquaintance with the English language. They eschew the jargon that obfuscates scientific and maintain an writings, objective analysis of the relocation; however, there is an undercurrent of righteous anger which rises to thesurface whenever particularly immoral behaviour of the’ City of Halifax is discussed. Thus, a report of the shamefulattempt by Halifax City Hall officials to bribe “Pa” Miller, the last Africville resident, into moving by offering the elderly man a suitcase full of money is described as having been a “singularly inept and sour” act that seemed to prove that ifthe relocation had begun with “a promise of positive change and administrative good-will” it ended in “over riding attention being given to the

shame
city’s economic priorities”(for Mr. Miller was holding up the city’s plans to use Africville land for an approach road to a new bridge). Africville, because it opposes a philosophy of social change thatignores the wishes of people, is careful itself to allow the people it discusses (residents, social workers, politicians, concerned citizens, and bureaucrats) to express their opinions and views of the relocation through the agency of quotations taken from interviews conducted by the authors and others both before and after the relocation and from newspaper articles, editorials, and reports of the day. This device, liberallyused, permits the reader to experience the relocation through the eyes of those involved and reinforces the authors’ belief that the failure of the relocation was due more to a combination of poor policy decisions than to a Machiavellian plot by a single person to destroy a community. Thus, an, Africville resident sums up the relocation in-these words: “ ‘They said the people in Africville encroached on the government, but I would say the government encroached , on the people’ “. Another resident describes services given at Africville’s major institution - The Seaview African United Baptist Church as “ ‘beautiful services (to which) people used to come from all around - coloured people and white people . . . People called it a spiritual church’ “.
And there is this poetic description of the view from Africville (which was situated on the coast of Bedford Basin, a part ‘of Halifax Harbour). “ ‘ . . . If you know art, or could feel anything about art, and could see the sunset over the Basin on a summer evening it would strike you right in the heart .’ ” Of course, this device makes the book very human. The writing in Africville is colourful, even allusive (as when the authors state that the Africville relocatees found themselves “in a Kafkaesque web (of) bureaucratic buckpassing” as they were passed around from the concern of one city department to another with the result that they had the concern of all and the care of none). Africville is a well-written, text-book study of the planned destruction of a community, destruction worse than that meted out to Lidice, Czechoslovakia, for at least the demiseofthat town was the result of rage and not the “rational” decision of a government. Africville: The Lzfe and Death of a Canadian Black Community will set you back by $4.00 in its soft-cover version .at most bookstores, though it has been known to sell for $2.00 at the Used Book Store on campus. It is ii-. lustrated with 19 pages of photographs and a cornucopia of maps, charts, and diagrams. It is 267 pages in length; thus, it is suitable weekend reading. Africville was bulldozed to the ground in 1967. . . . George Elliott Clarke

Mustangs throw Weekend basketball saw the end of the Warriors winning streak. In a heatbreaking finale the Warriors lost to the Western Mustangs 70 - 69 although their last minute foul shots gave them an opportunity to win or tie. The game was nowhere near the disaster that ,the Warriors last tangle with Western proved to be, when they suffered a 27 point defeat. Still, they played a lacklustre first half and it hurt them in the end when they came so very #close to nosing ahead of Western. Once again Savich led off for Waterloo but Western was quick to get ahead. Waterloo had traditional trouble at the boards although in their last few games they have been playing hard to get rebounds. Western who are fast ballplayers and good ball handlers were only up five at the half but were evidently outplaying the Warriors. One of the Mustangs, Ross Hurd enjoyed a great game finishing as top scorer and making a crucial difference to the Western effort.
Waterloo played much better in the second half when the team begangiving Western a fight, enough to pull ahead momentarily, 69 - 67 when Savich charged through a tight Western key for the bucket. Paul Van Oorschot gave his all. . . including a pint of blood when he took a shot in the nose that bloodied him. As the time ran out the tension mounted. Both teams had missed shots but Western had edged up by one point exhausting the Warriors’ hopes of holding out for a win. Western madea near fatal mistake, fouling two Warriors but in the nervous end they were unable to connect and Western walked away with the win. Warrior Coach Don McCrae said the team, “didn’t play well. We struggled for way too long.” The tough part of the schedule is just beginning. As well as Guelph the Warriors have to meet Windsor (tonight) losing their bye week to make up a game cancelled due to poor weather. Next week they meet Mat (here) and Brock pitting them

He runs for coach Don Mills of the Track West Club in Toronto when not running for the Warriors. He has had an incredible indoor season so far this year. On Sunday Mark finished 2nd in the 800 M event at the Ontario Provincial Championships even though this is not one of his standard distances. Since returning from the Christmas break mark has also finished 1st in the 1000 M at the York Invitational, 1st in the 1500 M at the Western Invitational, 2nd in the 1000 M at the Windsor Invitational (the first Canadian) and 3rd in the 3000 M at the Ontario Track and Field Association All Comers meet at York. During the course of all these events he has set
University of Waterloo records in the 3000 M and also the 5000 M. As a result of these performances Mark has qualified for the CIAU finals in the 600, 1000, 1500 and 5000 M events, a truly remarkable feat when you consider that these distances emcompass both sprint and distance events. it is very unusual to have a competitor this accomplished in both types of running. ,

B-Ball defeat
Last Saturday Lynne had a day-that ail Athletes dream of. In the afternoon competing at the mcMaster pool with the Diving team, she finished second in both the 1 and 3 metre boards. She qualified for the CIAU diving finals in the combined totals. Lynne then rushed back to the University of Waterloo to compete in the 2nd OWIAA Gymnastics qualifying ‘meet on Saturday night. Despite missing a large portion of the warmup Lynne placed 6th overall in the meet. She was second in the floor exercise and 3rd in the bars. She finished more than 3 full points above the CIAU qualifying standard and therefore qualified for her second CIAU final in the same day. Lynne has competed for the Athenas gymnastic team for three years and has qualified for the CIAU finals every year. Last season she injured her leg and could not compete in gymnastics, so she took up diving to keep in shape. It didn’t take long for her athletic versatility to surface.

Warriors Guleph toughies\
The Gryphons are a tough team to come up against at any time of the season but most particularly coming down to . the wire as the Warriors are. Waterloo came ready to battle though and as Warrior Rich Kurtz put it, “We were so into it. Guelph knew they were going to lose.” Lose they did as the Warriors toppled them 8577. “It was the first game that every guy on the team played together,” Kurtz said. He hit the nail on the head. From the moment Jarrett popped in the first bucket, the Warriors were off. They had an 8-4 lead by 17:22 although Guelph came out playing tough. The game was aggressive from start to finish seeing such classic incidences as Peter Savich’s attempted dunk that saw Savich slam into the back wall of the gym and Scott King wrestling two Gryphons for control of the ball. The long shots were dead from the baseline and from above the key. At the half the Warriors had a 46-35 lead that built going into the second. Waterloo managed to work up a second half fourteen point lead that held for better than five minutes. Some tension stirred when Savich and Van Oorshot got their fourth fouls but Waterloo neverrelinquished control Heslip, Guelph’s little but mighty general aided by Mike Sesto Kept the Gryphons playing hard tallying 20 points but Waterloo was able to penetrate the key and

Game scores were: Queen’s6; Waterloo,-5; Toronto,-3; Waterloo,-8; Waterloo,- 10; Laurentian,-6. “Although we didn’t curl as well as we have earlier this
relax Guelph’s press enough to build their total. “It was a good game,” Kurtz maintained, “we won the game on the offensive boards. We got secod shots. Needless to say the Warriors and coach were jubilant. “Harry came in and played the way he should play. He really helped us get going. He blocked Sesto’s shot. Phil’s the leader on this team.” Kurtz continued, “They played well. After Western we could easily have given up.” The coach agreed with Kurtz’ estimation of the situation. He called it the “best game they’ve played all year. They went right at them.” The Warriors have their workcut out for them now; they meet Windsor, Friday. They are a “very hard team” according to McCrae, but “for the first time in two or three years we have the depth to go with the fast tempo they like to play at.” With Guelph under their belts the Warriorsshould have added confidence going into the last -week of season play. . . hopefully, the best is yet to come if they keep playing with such welldirected ferocity. The intense effort slowed: Jarrett shot 18 points, Scott King shot 80% for the game. Paul Van Oorshot and Rich Kurtz shot 100% in the final half including a I3 footer from Kurtz that counted the Warriors last two points of the Game Final Warriors 85Guelph 77.
Last weekend marked the first weekend this winter that the Varsity Nordic Ski Teams’ events were not disrupted by weekend storms. On Saturday the University of Toronto Invitational Ski Race was held at Medonte Mountain. In this even each universities fastest 3 times from the womens 10 KM race and the fastest 3 times from the mens 15 KM race are totaled with the team trophy given to the team with the lowest total. This year the Athenas and Warriors combined to take the championship leaving the Guelph and Toronto teams to claim second and third.
