-News Athletic facility referendum provokes tough questions The wording of the referendum for expanion of Waterloo’s athletic facilities has left nany students scratching their heads and wondering, “What does this all mean?” The referendum, if successful, would esablish a compulsory student fee of $5 per term ,eginning in September 1982 and continuing mtil the project is completed, followed byafee If $10 per term to commence when the building s available for use and continuing until the iebt is retired approximately seven years after he opening date. The question in many students’ minds seems o be whether they are being asked tosupport a :ompulsory fee that would go to Watfund and hen be followed by a decision on building an athletic facility, or are they committing themielves specifically to the building of athletic acilities. When asked to clarify this concern, Jon Dellandrea, director of Watfund, stated that watfund has provisions for both general conr;butions and contributions that are specified is to their use. The five dollar fee is specifically ied to the construction of phase one ofthe pro?osal, that being the building of an ice arena, a ighted playing field and possibly an indoor rack. If the students show support for the pro3osal and pass the referendum, then they are guaranteed an ice arena, according to Dellandrea. Should complications arise, such 2s cost overruns, design problems, etc., Dellandrea stated that the University would be juty bound to return the fees to the students. When asked about the possibilities of com,,lications arising, Ernie Lappin of the physical resources department, and who is in charge bf north campus development, stated that 1.5 million dollars would guarantee some sort of arena structure being built and that there. would be very little chance of any complications arising. ‘iryrhile the compulsory student fee would guarantee the first part, or phase one of the three phased project, the last two phases would depend on the availability of non-student revenue. These revenues would include donations from faculty and staff that designate their contributions specifically for the athletic complex I- these donations are already coming. in - and donations from corporate sources. Dellandrea emphasized that although to date there are no major donors committed to this project, he has every reasonable expectation that .major corporations who have an obvious interest in athletic endeavors would come through with some major donations.’ Dellandrea went on to state that a solid student

A student section of the Canadian Operational Re;earch Society (CORS) has been formed on campus. The Canadian Operational Research Society was formed in 1958 to promote the theory and practice of operational ,esearch. Since’ that time its members have ‘expanded to include some 900 professionals and managers from all, across Canada. The CORS members includes both lead; ers in research into new .nethods and theories as well as practitioners who use these methods on an almost e,ndless variety of problems confronting Canadians today. As a society, CORS works to advance the theory and practice of OR. Its primary purposes is to stimulate and promote contacts between people interested in the subject. It does this through: Meetings to provide memners with an opportunity to exchange information and views as well as to make’ contact with other professionals and managers intcrested in operatonal research.

initiative on this project would go a long way in impressing these major corporations. Another concern voiced by studen;s relates to the simple majority of ballots returned that will decide the outcome of the referendum. Specifically, what percentage of students would have to return ballots in order to determine that the referendum is representative of all ‘students‘? The answer to this concern is that no one knows for sure, but the mechanics of the decision ma. ‘ng process are as follows: Upon return of the ballots to the secretariat, they will be counted and the percentages calculated, both percen ge of students voting and the percentage of those voting in favour. These results will then be passed on to Pat Roberts, director of Academic Services, who heads the committee‘ that organized the referendum, who in turn will then pass them on to the university president along with the committees recommendations. Dr. Wright will then have the final say as to whether or not he feels that the results are truly representative of the student body. When contacted by Imprint Dr. Wright stated that he hadn’t given that aspect of the referendum much thought and wouldn’t until the results are in, since there wasn’t much use in talking about hypothetical results. If Dr. Wright feels that there are-enough affirmative ballots returned then he would make a recommendation to the Board of Governors to implement the fee, starting next September. The question that students will ultimately have to answer is whether or not this campus needs an ice facility. Peter Hopkins, director of mens intramurals, gave the following statistics to illustrate the need for such a facility from the intramural point of view. Hopkins stated that this term there were one hundred and one broomball, co-ret hockey+ and competitive hockey teams that had to fit their schedules into just forty-one hours of ice time a week. This means that twenty-two teams a week cannot schedule games, and the schedules are limited to five games a season which Hopkins feels is far too short. Hopkins went on to state that ice time in Kitchener-Waterloo is at such a premium that he was unable to increase the ice time even by one hour. Also the times that arescheduled fall between 1l:OO pm and 1:OO am and Friday afternoons, which leaves no time for practices, expansion of programs or any guarantee of certain ice times from year to year. For students wondering how to return their ballots to the secretariat, since there was no return postage on the ballots, the simplest way is to drop the ballots off in any ca.mpus department general office and ask them to put the ballot in the inter-office mail system.

Mathsoc

elections

The Math Undergraduate Society (MathSoc) executive elections, which were to be held yesterday, have been declared null and void by the Committee of Presidents. The Committee of Presidents is comprised of the presidents of all the student societies on campus, the president of the federation of students, and the president of.

the graduate student association. According to a federation-societies agreement, the Committee has the power to decide if and when a society has collapsed. After making such a decision, thecommittee can then withold any funds collected through student levy. The present committee has expressed that it felt that MathSoc was about to collapse. .According to Federation President Wim Simonis, “I asked for several things, most of which they were unable to supply, that would show us (the committee) that MathSoc is acting in a legal manner and is not being run by three or four people.” Simonis had asked for: minutes to last term’s meetings, a copy of the current constitution, minutes of the last annual general meeting, a list of MathSoc signing officers, financial statements since January 198 1, results of the October 198 1 election and constitutional referendum, the Chief Returning Officer report for that election, a copy of the constitution voted on in October, and a copy of the budget for Fall 198 1 and Winter 1982 terms. Al Bechamp, acting MathSot’ president, says that last term’s minutes are unavailable, there is’ no record of a general meeting, ther is no documentation of October’s election or the Chief Returning Officer’s (CRO) report and there was no budget last fall since MathSoc Council handled all expenditures on an individual basis. The constitution, a list of the. signing

nulled officers and this term’s budget have been given to the Committee. The MathSoc election for this term was not run according to MathSoc election policies and Procedures according to Simonis and he says the Chief Returning Officer was not ratified by MathSoc Council. Also, the mailout for students on workterms had na been done in time. Says Simonis, “Our biggest concern right now is that whoever gets in to takechargeof MathSocis in &ere legitimately and the legality can’t be challenged by anyone.” A motion put forth by Bechamp to the committee was passed, making the MathSot elections null and void. The Committee appointed a new CRO, Wayne Daw, who reports directly to the Committee instead of to MathSoc. Nominations opened Wednesday and close this Monday at I:30 p.m. Nominations are to besubmitted to the Federation Office in CC235. According to Bechamp, MathSoc is not upset that the Committee has taken over running the election. The election is being run by MathSoc rules and procedures, but the words will be that of the federation of students. Says Simonis, “1 offered it (the federation’s services) to them and they gladly took it, mainly because if you don’t have full-time people in the office it’s hard to run an election.” Bechamp agrees and added “This way we’re guaranteed a totally impartial election.

felt deeply enough about the Campus

Centre

to ‘liberate’ it from the control

What is there to do? The structure of the Campus Centre Board has been able to give us a lot over the past decade - everything from free movies on Wednesday nights to cheap coffee twenty-four hours a day to bicycle repair kits available at the turnkey desk. Services that students at many other campuses across the province don’t get. And while everyone in the present conflict is agreed that changes have to be made, no-one seems to have a concrete plan of action for.reform. If you are concerned here is something that we can all do. Give Wim Simonis, federation of students president (he’s in Campus Centre room 235 and his extension number is 2478) a call or drop by and visit ’ him and4et him know how you’d like to see ‘your’ Campus Centre run. He is an elected representative and is committed to listening to you. Also, extend the same courtesy to university president Douglas Wright (His office is in Needles Hall room 505 1 and his extension number is 2202). Dr. Wright says he maintains an ‘open door policy’ and there is no reason not to oblige him. These people will respond to positive input and creative criticism, so let,us give them some.

“Where are the fiery student crusades, the social-protest marches, the hymns of revolt of just a few years ago?” Is this a headline to one of those wonderfully written ‘Lifestyle’ features that appear in the Globe and IMail or K- ?V Record? Hell no. ‘l’hls particular quote comes straight out of a 1967 issue of Madean’s Magazine, in an article they did on student apathy on Canadian campuses. The point of that story was that most students were now (1967) only interested in passing exams and getting high-paying jobs. All the campus radicals had grown up and gone away. And statistics showed that only a tiny percentage of students were involved in social issues. .The point of my story is that by-and-large most students have always been - and will always be - complacent. At any time in history when’ ‘student activism’ made the front pages of Canadian newspapers it has always been as a result of the efforts of a relative few. ’ And what1 propose now is that it will take a few concerned students, to avert a malady which isabout to strike our Campus Centre. The Campus Centre Board has been suspended indefinitely. Several turnkeys have resigned; one has been fired.

Gays -at U. of T. angry , TORONTO (CUP) - gaysat the University of Toronto have reacted with anger and’ frustration over the refusal of one of the university’s colleges to give them space to show an award winning movie. A representative of the Gay and Lesbian Awareness Week Committe (GLAWC) approached ;St. Michael’s College officials in January, requesting the use of their auditorium for a screening of the film, Michael, A Gay Son. According to Gays at U of T chairperson Craig Patterson, “Last year’s organizers were criticized for centralizing the events. The idea this year was to spread them around, and nothing like this had ever been done at St. Mike’s.” St. Michael’s, a federated college at the U of T, was founded by the Basilian Fathers in 1852 and grants degrees under the auspices of the U of T.

A letter written to Patterson by St. Michael’s principal William Dunphy indicated that while Dunphy was “opposed to all forms of discrimination against homosexuals”, religious and political considerations influenced his refusal to grant GLAWC space. In the letter, Dunphy notes the “generous support of St. Michael’s alumni”and stresses the need to be “sensitive . . . to the perceived sensibilities” of that group. The letter also referred to the College’s status of as “the proud inheritor centuries-old Christian intellectual traditions.” Patterson criticized Dunphy’s comments, saying, “You can’t justify discrimination by appealing to tradition.” He said it was “unfortunate that St. Mike’s can’t go beyond tradition and into enlightenment.” Peter Bartlett, GLAWb also criticized chairperson,

Dunphy’s response and said, “Christian intellectual trandition involves serious consideration of other points of view.” Bartlett questioned why “St. Mike’s is part of U of T”, given the university’s commitment to discovery and knowledge. In his letter, Dunphy made reference to what he saw as the distinction between the individual’s right to determine their ‘own lifestyle and the

Barlett expressed “frustration that Dunphy has totally misconstrued the logic of the Gay Awareness Week.” “It’s absurd to suggest that Michael,. A Gay Son will ‘recruit’ people,” he said. The film, a docu-drama about a young man helping>his parents come to terms with his homosexuality, has won a variety of international film awards.

Question by Wanda Sakura Who do you think should’ control the Campus Centre? Ruth Hawkins Year 2 Biology

Jon Dolina Year 1 Co-op

The students should control the Campus Centre. They are the people who use it the most, and they know what services it should provide.

Students benefit from services provided, they know best how to provide it.

I feel the students should essentially be able to decide how the CC should be-run. But with the support of the governing administrators.

Seems to me that the Feds should run their own facilities in the way they see fit.

Economics

Dave Hanes Year 3 Math The Campus Centre should be completely controlled by students, it was built for . them and most of their money from the pub and the games room should be controlled by them.

Connie Silva Year 3 Planning

I think the students should be able to administer their own recreation.

Since most of the services offered at the CC are students’ services, it is important that they should themselves be in control of these services. After all, it is the students who understand their needs the most.

Immature provincials viewed Luna (the Fed Flick)

Pro-abortionists neglect responsibility?

To the editor: I am writing to rant! Rant because I am both furious and disgusted by immature provincials who decimated the viewing of the Federation Flick Luna last Friday night. I understand that some students have neither the maturity nor open-mindedness to accept certain aspects of human behaviour such as were depicted in this acclaimed film. I understand that K-W is an uptight, conservative city spawning a red-necked element here on campus. But I do not understand why, if this element cannot contain its embarrassed, asinine comments and bestial. grunts, does it not attend Animal House instead? And finally, I do not understand these overgrown adolescents’ insistence on inflicting their behaviour on the rest of us who are interested in watching a more entertaining spectacle than theirs. Chris Bauman

To the editor: In the Feb. 12 Imprint one Ms. McBride writes, in a letter entitled ‘Anti-Abortionists always neglect some facts’, “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.“Isuggest that Ms. McBride has neglected responsibility. Ms. McBride also wrote, “By making abortion illegal again, you are condemning . . . in some cases, the mother.” Let us make two assumptions. Firstly, responsibility is better than irresponsibility. Secondly, abortion is now illegal. That is, women who have abortions are criminals. Now, a responsible government is obligated to protecting thepublicfromt_he criminals. Do criminals deserve such protection? Indeed, if criminals find themselves condemned or in danger it is as a consequence of the law and the government’s obligations. I can see two ways of proteting criminals. One way is to pass laws rendering the criminals as non-criminals,-and thus deserving protection. But is this responsible? Do we pass laws permitting bank robbery so that bank robbers cannot be legally harmed? After all, bank robbers risk their lives robbing banks. The second way is to de_termine on the basis of morals that the criminal is not a criminal at all. This is responsible government. (The source of the morals is not an issue in this discussion). In summary, do we pass laws for the purpose of protecting would be criminals? Or, vice-versa, do we refrain from passing laws that would render some members of the public criminals SO that those individuals will not be endangered? The “fact” that women will’get abortions irregardless of the law is completely irrelevant. The “fact” that women may endanger themselves if forced to,have illegal abortions is also irrelevant. Abortion and criminal law are moral issues. Ms. McBride is only mentioning irrelevant facts that the anti-abortionists have neglected. Alan Sinclair

Arts Councillor’s belated respdnse to questions Note: Zmprint received this letter for publication last issue, but we were unable to accomplish this due to Iack of space. To the editor: Here are my responses to the questions directed to Federation councillors which appeared in the Imprint last week. Sorry for being late. 1. In my opinion, one of the prime functions of a councillor is to serve as a check on the activities of the Executive of the Federation. As the President has vast powers with respect to the functioning of the Federation, the only effective check that students have to keep the Executive honest is vigilence of the councillors, both individually and collectively. I have tried to stay on top’of things over the past year, and I hope that the experience that I have gained will help me over the next year. 2. I believe that my foremost qualification is my commitment to whatever I undertake. As a member of council, I’ll faithfully fulfil1 my responsibilities. 3. I think that the reason that I couldn’t . be contacted last week was my involvement‘in various groups. I have previously worked for Imprint: presently, my participation ranges from marginal involvement with the ASU to sitting on the Executive of the campus NDP club. 4. To ask what issues students are concerned about is like asking what issues left-handed people are concerned about: to a large extent, students on this campus don’t believe that there are such things as “student issues”, no matterwhat we as student leaders say. Thus, before we Can expect politicians to take our demands seriously,, we have to get students to take them seriously. (For example, in the last provincial election, only a few hundred of the thousands of students on campus even bothered to’get their names on the voter’s list, and not even all of those people voted.) Student leaders can scream and shout as loudly as they can about tuition hikes, declinein the quality of education, or the abuse of students, but until the average student begins to scream just as loudly, we wori’t be taken too seriously.

Attacks on pro-lifers are disturbing To the editor: It seems to me that the “anti Abortionists” or “pro lifers” are recently the brunt of great antagonism and insult in your publication. I find this disturbing. I notice some verbally veneered catcalling going on: the catchwords flying specifically are “naive”, “fanatic”, “moralistic”, and I can’t help but wonder how ignorantly stereotypical this is. With particular reference to Ms. McBride’s letter of 12 Feb., “Anti Abortionists Always Neglect Some Facts,” I do wonder if Ms. McBride isn’t overlooking some facts as well. I doubt that anyone is “so naive as to think that abortion can be eliminated by just pak’sing a law.” However the staggering numbers of abortions performed might diminish in the face of that law. Moreover, the flippant attitudeexpressed there should be called into question: Continued

on men..

The official climate of the times, she said, is male whining. In the literary world she sees this as reflected by male criticscomplainingabout the depiction of male characters in novels by female writers. Atwood ftids thereis a strange form of “doublethink” which allows males to write other males as brutes, cads and creeps; this is known as “Showing the human condition”; for a female to do the same is to risk being labeled a “man-hater”. Trying to criticize a character in a novel as being true to life or not is pointless, Atwood

Lecturer

talks

Men are not the same as dung beetles, s’aid Margaret Atwood in a lecture at U W last week, but both subjects should be approached with awe. It was one of her many pronouncements on the topic of “Writing the Male Character”. Atwood gave in her capacity as this year’s Hagey Lecturer. She was in fine form throughout, mixing substance with wit. And while Atwood is a feminist, her method of assault on the male psyche is not with a pair of scissors, but rather through ptiblic embarrassment which is much more effective.

contends. To gauge this is whether the character lives or dies, in a figurative sense. It does not live if it is pandering or stroking the needs of the ego. To the Victorians, sexism was not an issue, because sex itself was not an issue. The novelists of the day were not allow&d to portray physical intimacy, so they took their pleasure in creating truly grotesque, offbeat characters, said Atwood. She noted that more men than ever are standing in line for her to sign copies of her books, and fewer are using the excuse that “it’s for my wife’s birthday .” According to Atwood, men still have a fear of confiding in one another. They will spill all to a psychiatrist, or even a woman, but the cloak of invulnerability does not come off so easily with another male. Along the same lines, Atwood told the story of her asking men why they fear women. “Because they might laugh at us,” she was told. Addressing the counter-part of the question to women, the reply was “because they might kill us.” Thus women have stood by their man for these long centuries primarily in order to survive.’ Whereas men used to have solid role models to follow paragons of strength and bravery - this is no longer the case. Man’s territory is shrinking, and his reaction is despair and #fear. This is to be expected, since those with something to lose are usually more paranoid than t hose with something to gain. Novelists are showing this erosion of power by making their male characters more like Leo Bloom the Schmuck, and less like Heathcliff the Hero. Ms. Atwobd hopes that someday we may see ourselves as persoris first and sexual identities later. The thought may not be original, but it is still valid. Todd Schneider

“Joy is considered counterproductive,” said Margaret referring to the Atwood, people who ask her whether literature has any value or not. Atwood was speaking at the second Hagey Lecture, February 10. The topic of her talk was “Answers to Frequently Asked Questions.” Atwood’s response to that question was that theartsmust have some value since they have always been with us. It is also the arts that put people back together again after a life of business meetings orexperiments. Not all of Atwood’s remarks were as serious as the one above. Her first question was “Is you hair really like that or do you get it done?” The relevancy of this question is not to be belittled, said she, after all, would she feel the same way about life if she were bald? Her hair is also the object of much media tension. If the critic is friendly, her hair is described as pre-Raephalite; if as frizzy; and if hostile, neutral, as wispy. Atwood said that the ideal response would be “If I were going to get it done, do you think I’d do this?’ indicating her hair. The question, “Are your novels autobiographical?” is usually phrased in such indirect ways as “When did you lose all that weight?” (Lady Oracle), or “Does the other one have to come .off, too?” (Bodily Harm). Atwood said that there is a compliment in

such questions since her books must be so well-written that ,people want to believe they are true. The questions are also insulting since they imply that she is incapable of imagining something that did not take place. She does say her novels are personal because the settings are all places whete she has spent part pf her life. They are also made intensely personal through the act of writing. Atwood -said she is not the same person when she begins a novel as when she has finished it: “I learn things that 1 may not have willingly exposed myself to.” The last question Margaret Atwood talked about? before she took questions froni the audience was “Has motherhood changed your life?’ The main thing that has changed, said Atwood, was her media image. Almost overnight she went from being Medusa-haired to being mel-low and maternal. Atwood added that the mellowness probably came from lack of sleep. “I also had to reschedule my life,” she said. “My ideas of when to sleep are not compatible with the babys” One of the questions from the audience tias “What advice would you give a young writer?” Atwood replied, “Go to the biggest library you can find, and ask yourself if you really want to add to that mound of paper. . . If you still want to be a writer, buy a

questions typewriter and star’t doing back exercises.” She also said that artists make themselves work hard by believing they will die in ten years of lingering illness. Atwood’s definition of a feminist was delightful if unexpected. She said, “Any woman who can read and write is a -feminist. Any,woman allowed to vote is a feminist. Any woman who believe8 in equal pay for work of equalvalueisa feminist. Any woman who believes in equal pay for work of equal value is a feminist. Any man who ‘is against rape and pornography is a feminist. Anyone. who thinks a man should be judged .by his warmth, his compassion and his sensitivity and not by his ability to make money is a feminist.” The issues of whether to shave one’s leg or wear makeup are largely irrelevant, said Atwood. ~ One of the last questions Atwood addressed was “Why are your books so depressing?” Atwood conceded that she writes about people who are flawed but if you looked at the world around you, you would think Atwood is another. Pollyanna. One female interviewer once told Atwood “I guess I find your books depressing because you are writing about me,,” 1 can only echo that sentiment. Julie George

‘New’ Mathsoc not being given fair chance by ‘Old’

abortion is not just a quick, sterile, , physical procedure that ends with the “operation” - excuse my trite euphemism. Is Ms. McBride at all aware of the trauma and depression that most women report suffering after an abortion? Emotional scars like these can be as severe in ~ some cases as physical ones resulting from back alley procedures. And I beg to differ with the statement “It doesn’t matter whether or not abortion is morally right or wrong.” It matters agreat deal the same way it matters if euthenasia is morally right, if supporting the arms race is. All these things have a great effect on the quality of our lives and we must dea.1 with them.

Thoughout the past year and a hd,ft Canadians have been awakened to the realization that their environment is being insidiousl-v poisoned by acid rain. Across the country the public has responded with a cry to cut back on the emissions qf sulphur and nitrogen oxides which cause this airborne assault on the lakes, the land and our buildings. Government, however, has been slow to respond to this concern. Premier Davis and his environment ministers Mr. Norton and Dr. Parrott before him, have constantl-v stated that the United States are largely responsible.for the acid rain problem, and that Ontario cannot act alone to stop acid rain until an international agreement to

control air pollutants is in place. HoMpever, the Government controlled Ontario h-l&o has recent!ip announced the plan to export coal-generatedelectricit.l* to the United States Myhich Mill result in the production qf50,OOO tons qf’ sulpher-dioxide per ?‘ear in Ontario. This decision Mill onlWr*ti’orsen the current acid rain problem in the province and severei?* undermines Ontario’s credibility* in Myanting to negotiate an air-pollutant treat?* M*ith the United States.’ The.folloM*ing letter to citizens across Ontario.from a Toronto resharch group, Energy, Probe, pdints out the dangers qf’ thi.7 e.uport plan and above all suggests \r*a-,*.vthat, as concerned citizens bt*ecan act. 2) Send us a tax-deductible donation today to help us get the support of even more Ontarians - so many more that,Premier Davis will see that our lakes are worth more to us than a few pennies. We are: Energy Probe 43 Queens Park Crescent, East Toronto, Ontario Jack Gibbons M5S 2C3 Energy P.S. Remember that the fate of our lakes now rests in Premier Davis’ hands. Mail your 7e cheque to Premier Davis, The Legislature, Queen’s Park, Ontario, or enclose it along with your donation to us, and we will personally deliver it to the Premier’s office.

Seven cents a month. To save you and me this amount on our electricity bills, Ontario Hydro thinks we would happily accept the death of up to 25 of Ontario’s lakes every year -and damage to tens of thousands more - through acid rain. That’s why they are proceeding with a plan to export huge amounts of acid-rain producing electricity to GPU, an Americancorporation that has been short of electricity ever since the accident at its Three Mile Island plant. The advantage to the American is clear. Instead of burning coal in the U.S. to produce electricity they can sell us their coal. We make the electricity and sell it to them at little economic gain to Ontario, and they save their environment. But the advantages to us are non-existent. If GPU doesn’t buy our electricity, it will probably buy from Ohio. The Muskoka Lakes, which are on the verge of destruction, will suffer five times as much from acid rain produced in Ontario, because of wind patterns, than if the pollution came from Ohio. In effect, Hydro is selling Ontario’s lakes. It could save the lakes by installing scrubbers at the three coal stations likely to export this electricity, but Hydro refuses to because this would wipe out all profits from the sale. This is no simple sale. It involves laying a financially risky cable under Lake Erie. The quarter-billion-dollar cable will be manufactured entirely in Europe, providing jobs for Europeans, I not Canadians, The governments of Ontarioand Canadaaretisking American utilities to reduce their acid emissions to save Ontario’s lakes. Export deals that increase the production of acid rain in our own coal plants make us look hypocritical and lend weight to the American argument that the only reason we want them to cut back is to increase our own sales to them. .48,500 Ontario lakes could be dead by the year 2000 if the current level of acid rain continues. We will probably never be able to save more lakes through a single project (or at a lower cost) than by cancelling this export plan of Ontario Hydro’s. This action on the part of Ontario Hydro is so clearly wrongheaded that, one year ago, Energy Probe intervened before the Nationai Energy Board (despite the Board’s well-known bias ag&nst the environment) to argue that exporting coal-fired electricity was against the best interests of Canadians. We were the only intervenors arguing in favor of theenvironment. To our amazement the Ontario government itself intervened on behalf of Ontario Hydro. It assumed that you and your fellow Ontarians value lower electricity bills more than your lakes. We lost that round, but because of our arguements, we have since obtained wide support for our position that theexport plan must be subject to the Environmental Assessment Act of this province. . We now have the support of the caucus of Liberal MPPs, the caucus of NDP M PPs, and over 30 other Ontario organizations, such as the Canadian Environmental Law Association, the Federation of Ontario Cottagers’ Associations, the Union of Ontario Indians, and the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG). . To add your support, you can do two things: 1) Show Premier Davis your opposition to this senseless sale by sending him the 7e he thinks you’re so desperate to save.

Come you masters of war You who build the big bombs You who have never done nothing But to build to destroy On December

1, the United

States

Senate gave Ronald Reagan the entire defense spending increase -that he had asked for and more. The total appropriations package which theyapprovedbas worth $208.6 billion. This is an increase of approximately 22 per cent from last year’s spending level. While doing this, the Senate also approved all ofihefundswhich Reagan had requested for the new land-based MX missilesand B-l bomberswhich hesaysare needed to strengthen the strategic striking power of the U.S. According to the Senate Majority Leader, Howard Baker (Republican representative - Tennessee), the rather lopsided vote (84 5) should be hailed .as one that will strengthen the defences of the United States “for decades to come.” You who hide behind walls You who hide behind desks I just want you to know I can see through your masks Because $208.6 billion is such a grotesquely large sum of money, the first point which should be clarified is the amount the average citizen of the United States has to pay via their taxdollarsforthis year’s “defensive”system of potentialfirststrike-armaments. And since the United States is the supposed epitomy of “freedom” and this should be, in theory at “democracy,” least, quite easy to find out. The most popular figure used these days says that 27c of every tax dollai in the United States goes towards the various military programs. This is the figure used by Reagan and the rest of the American political establishment and becauseofthis, it is the figure which receives the attention - of the press and thus, the general public. It remains largely unknown however, that 27C only represents the current expenditures of the American war machine. A second method of analysing the information points to 37cS of every tax dollar as being the answer. This figure is arrived at when the expenditures for social secwrity have been removed from the budget. This in fact was the way the budget had always been calculated until the mid1960’s when the backlash against, the Vietnam War began. Because social security is an independent trustfund, it hasalwaysbeenfinanced separately. And because of this, -it has always been a separate entity in itself apart from the general budget. When it came to be included in the budget by the thenJohnson administration, however, it

merely served to diminish the apparent size of the military’s actual slice of thecountry’s finances. Andthus, 37c isthefigurearrived at when social security isexcludedfrom the budget. The third and final method of determining the military’s actual portion of the American tax dollar puts all of the United States government’s “national security” programs together under a singlecategory.

And this single category points to one figure: 52c. Over half of every tax dollar an American citizen pays is spent on the . military machine. And even at this figure the picture is not complete, because the secret military operating expenses of the CIA have been excluded. They are classified as “top secret” and are dispersed throughout the budget in one form or another. What is known is that the CIA, in their pursuit of peace, buys weapons and trains mercenaries to fight in conflicts throughout the world. Their “aid” can be seen in everything from the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Angolan war of independence to the current aid which they are giving to the Afghan “freedom fighters.” And all in the name of “freedom” and “democracy”. After all, what else can be done with the Russians poised to destroy the “peace loving” nations of the world? If the American government is to be believed, the Soviets would be in the backyardsofthe United States if something weren’t done. Could this be the’reasoning which ledthe United Statestosell morethan $18.3billion in weapons to third world nations last year with contracts for future salesof $41 billion already signed? Could this be why they have sold twice as many weapons to other countries and organizationsduring the past decade than the Soviets have? The United States’ military machine has consistently been first in developing suqh d

“defensive” weapons of war asthe nuclear bomb, the hydrogen bomb, Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles and the first Multiple Independe’ntly Targeted Re-entry Vehicles such as the various Minuteman and MX missles. The list continues to include today’s state-of-the-art death masterpieces like the first enhanced radiation neutron weapons and the first cruise and “dial-a-yield” tactical nuclear weapons. Could it merely be a fiendish Soviety ploy which iscausing the American government to act this way? In many ways, it becomes very hard to accept Ronald Reagan and the New Right’s “Red Peril” neurosis when you know the facts. It becomes even harder to believe when you know that the Soviet Union is hurting With a gross national economically. product the size of Japan’s, the Soviet Union can’t feed its own people and must import grain (much of it from the United States) to make up for their sagging agricultural economy. Having lost twenty million people in World War II compared to the United States’ 400,000, can any san,e

person realistically believe that the Soviets are anxious for a tragedy like this (dr worse) to occur again? The zenith of Soviet influence over other countries in the world occurred in 1958. Since that time, 15 countries have lefttheir sphere of influence.

Stanley

Even their own population is severly divided. Fifty per cent of the Soviet Union’s population are from minority ethic groups, divided into over 200 languages. This includes a significant Moslem population living near the Afghanistan/Iran border. Like Judas of old You lie and deceive A world war can be won You’d want me to believe According. to George Kennan, former U.S. ambassador to Moscow and- the architect of the “containment” doctrine which has been the basisofAmericanpolicy towards the Soviets for decades, “the Russian leadership is a group of troubled --+ men who aren’t anxious to expand. their power by the direct use of their armed. forces.” Kennan believes that the Sovietsdo wan’t to expand’their influence around the world but he is quick to point out that this is not the same as wishing to expand the formal limits of one’s power and responsibility. “I do not believe that they (the Soviei leadership) wish to invade Western Europe. They are having trouble enough with the responsibilities they have undertaken in Eastern Europe.” Kennan believes that the Soviet leaders feel they “have become increasingly isolated and in danger of encirclement by hostile powers.” According to him, “I do not see howtheycanotherwiseinterpretthe American military relationships with Pakistan.and China.” According to the former ambassadoc,,the _ _ American nuclear build-up may in fact be the beginning of the end. “‘My opponents maintain that the reason we must havethenuclearweaponsisthat, in a conflict, wewould not beabletomatch the Soviet Union with the conventional ones. They say: We must have these weapons (nuclear weapons) for purposes of deter$ rence. “But nuclear weapons can serve no useful purpose. They cannot be used without * bringing disaster upon everyone concerned.” Hopefully, someone is listening, While the death count gets higher I You sit in your mansion While the young people’s blood Flows out of their bodies and gets buried mud. “Masters of War” by Bob by,,, ri ‘,~ ’ ri

The 1960’s saw an unprecedented level of student militancy within the western world. In North America, there were demonstrations, riots, occupations, and mass movements on . student campuses. But the radicalism was severe1 limited in North America. A little-known i act is that between the years 1964 and I.975 thenumber of _ people Ian trade unions in the United States declined, and the number of industrial disputes dropped. It would seem that there was little connection between the’ “student movement” and the ordinary working people of the U.S. , The student movement in Europe provides us with a very different picture. In many countries direct links were created between students and workers and joint actions were taken by both groups. The best example of this lies in the events of May 1968 in France. An explosion in France occurred in May 1968. What began as a series of student demonstrations developed into ageneral strike of students and workers involving over ten million people. Barricades appeared on the streets of Paris, Lille, Nantes, Marseilles and many other cities for the first time since the Second World War. Universities, lycees (high schools), factories, and workplaces of every kind were occupied. The roots of these spectacular events are diverse. For students, overcrowding was a serious problem. Institutions bunlt to deal with a few thousand students had enrollments,of five or six thousand. Some first year classes at the Sorbonne in Paris had one thousand students and were being taught by one professor. Yet the government was refusing to commit more funds to/ educational expansion without certain reforms. Government reforms essentially hinged on the concept of restricting access to higher education. Traditional acceptanceinto university was conditional upon passing exams at the end of school, however, there were no specific restrictions placed upon acceptance beyond passing the final year of high school. But the government: in a desire to cut the numbers attending the university. -had proposed in the *fall of 1967 additional, selection procedures which. would cut the number of students by half. . There ,was an increasingly high level of unofficial strike activity amongst workers. particularly those affiliated with the Confed/ eration General du Travail (CGT)\which was the largest trade union in France. The CGT leadership was also closely linked, with the Communist Party. 1,n practice the Communist Party was operating as a brake on the militancy of the working class. Because the Party was subsuming all else to elections, they did not want to frighten the electorate with industrial action. Within the CGT-the union leadership would divert rank and fi demands to platitudes about waiting ,untjl the next election. Unemployment was high. and even higher among young people. France was, and still is one of the least urbanized countries in Europe. lndustrialization was restricted to very limited enterprises. Furthermore, the number ofsmall and inefficient enterprises was strikingly high: The tendency of mass emigration from the countryside.to the towns is considered to be an aspect of a country undergoing industrialization (as opposed to a matyre industrialized economyj and yet the years between 1964 and 1967 nearly .800,000 people left the land in France to seek work in the towns -- an astonishingly high figure for a “developed” 7 economy. Within industry itself, management was archaic and. authoritarian in its methods. Working condi,tions in many companies were miserable. The employees at Sud Aviation (one of the first places occupied by workers in

’ ..

crw . c

May) had nolunchorcoffeebreakinaten hour ?day. The disgust that many people felt with the “prosperity” that surrounded them was more than just a spiritual reaction. Jt was also the realization that this “prosperity”, though worshipped by many. was actually felt by few. This obvious gap between what the advertisements said and what the people saw in their lives provided a strong basis for discontent amongst ,young people as a whole, whether they were poor students in overcrowded universities or poor workers in dirty overcrowded factories. . The winter of 1967-68 saw a new wave of ’ militancy amongst ’ students and workers emerge in-France. A series of diverse actions and events led to the May uprising. Within universities political protest was growing over a vast series of issues. At fl Nanterre the university disciplinary code sparked a number of demonstrations. ‘Following the University’s attempts to discipline a number of students for participating in an occupation the riot police were ‘called onto campus for the first time in history. The events at Nanterre provided a spark for the explosion in early May. T.he disciplinary board for Nanterre was to be held in Paris . (since Nanterre was a sub-campus of the Sorbonne). The students who were charged with disciplinary offences, along (with other members of the Nanterre March 22nd movement went to Paris and appealed for solidarity from Paris students. A series of mass meetings were held at the Sorbqnne. On May 5th thestudents voted to occupy their campus and hold a demonstration in support of the Nanterre students. c Over 6O:OOO students showed up at the’ ’ demonstration on May 6t.h. Students from universities and lycees all over Paris came to protest the governments educational policies. The French riot police attacked the demonstration: 739 people were injured. Then something happened that no one had anticipated. As d,emonstrators were attacked they retreated, and calls went up to build barricades. Ironically, the people who denounced this idea the most were the students who were’ members of various leftist: and Marxist political organizations. Members of the Communist Party, Maoists and Trotskyists and other leftists abandoned the demon-j stration at$is point.’ By the evening large sections of the Latin I Quarter were barricaded by the students. People began to stream into the “liberated” areas. Amongst these people were many young workers and the unemployed. The May revolution had begun. Life behind the barricades was joyful. frivolous and full of strange surprises. Pianos were removed from bars and music was heard everywhere. More and more people kept _ arriving (the same groups who had left the demostration reappeared that evening). The local residents responded with, surprising friendliness to the peo,ple,in the streets. As one participant noted: “the very same peopIe w/hose cars we had burnt and used to make , ’ barricades came out for food and drink that evening. They gave us bandages for those who had been wounded. They danced with us., .” By the end of the next day the demonstrations and barricades, had spread. Most Paris lycees went on strike. There were demonstrations against unemployment which turned intoasolidarity march with Parisstudents. ’ The CFDT trades union proclaimed its “complete solidarity*:with the demands of the students for educational reform and democratization.” L’Humanite the newspaper of the Communist Party denounced ‘the “acts of pampered adv.enturists” and warned all “class conscious workers to avoid the agents provocateurs.” Many workers didn’t agree. A demonstration in Lille on the 10th. organized by theCGT

Friday, and Communist Party against unemployment, drew 20,000 workers. They ignored the demonstration organizers and marched with local students, chanting solidarity with the students and workers of Paris. On May 13th, the movement was reaching, massive proportions. Almost every college in Paris was occupied. Strikes were breaking out in various small enterprises all over the country. In Nantes the workers at the SudAviation aero plant went one step further and occupied their factory, lockingthe managers in the head office. A joint student-worker demonstration was held the same day in Paris. Somewhere between 600,000 and a. million people showed up. The area under barricades was expanding. By the f5th, Renault workers and the dockers in Bordeaux had occupied their workplaces. In Paris the Odeon theatre was seized and became the site of a continuous debate on the nature of the new society that the people wished to build. People would come into the theatre from the street fighting to join the debates for a couple of hours before rejoining the battle. It was clear by this time that the movement had gone much further than the specific demands for reforms. The main demand of students and workers was self-management. Workers in the major occupations were openly proclaiming their desire to run and manage their factories for themselves. Workers committees were elected to oversee the return to production without managers at the R.enault factories. At many Universities joint staff-student committees were set up to administer the Universities. The Sorbonne was declared a free university for all to use. Joint meetings were held between the occupation committees at the colleges and the councils elected from the factory occupations. Even hospitals and law courts were occupied ’ and declared under self-management. Air traffic controllers, railway workers, printers, postal workers and farmers all joined the occupation movement. On Friday May 17th, the Sorbonne students organize-d the “long march” from the Sorbonne campus to Boulonge-Billancourt Renault works to meet the occupying workers. The Communist Party and the.CGT union ordered the workers at Renault to close their gates to the students. The CGT stewards were pushed out of the way by the Renault workers, and the two groups spent the day in joint discussions. The gorernment was in disarray. Discussions were taking place between government officials and the army as to a possible military intervention. The Comittees for the Defense of the Republic (CDR) began to appear. Sponsored

by the government, they consisted of “loyal” citizens, members of right wing organization, and a notable number of ex-Algerian Secret Army members. It has been claimed by some that there were direct negotiations between De Gaulle and the Organization Armee Secret (OAS) at this time. Arms were certainly being 4 provided to the CDR’s. More important in some ways .than the activities of the government and the CDR’s was the opposition of the Communist Party and CGT. It was clear to the Communist Party that they had failed to stem the tide of occupations. By May 2 1st, there were 10 million workers on strike or in occupation despite the many efforts OftheCPandtheCGTtoprevent theseactions. The occupations had spread so far that even the non-unionized workers at ‘the Citroen car works had seized their factory. The Communist Party’s opposition to the occupation movement was based upon a number of reasons. On one hand they did not like the idea of a working class mvement that was so clearly outside of their control: The CP had developed to the stage where it and the CGT represented a form of vested interest, with a large bureaucracy, members of parliament, and fulltime officials; they *were politically committed to gradual reform through parliament, andnot rPvolution of any kind. They were also closely limed to Moscow and the interests of the Soviet Union. Destabilization in France was not in the interests of the Soviet Union (Franc was a friend of the Soviet Union in foreign policy terms). When the CP and the CGT realized that there was no way that they could directly suppress the occupation movement they embarked upon a new strategy, they attempted to divert it. The CGT entered into negotiation with the government, The CFT sent out orders to workers already on strike telling them that the union had called them out on strike. The union claimed that the strikes were strictly over economic demands and had nothingto do with student occupations. Communist Party members and the CGT stewards were sent into the student occupations to denounce thestudents and tell them to go back to school. L’Humanite continued to denounce the students. At this point, in the last week in May, the movement began to lose its impetus. Millions of workers were onstrike, thousand of students and workers were in occupation. In terms of popular support the movement couldn’t achieve much more than it had. On the other hand, the government and the Communists, the two major opponents of the movement were organizing their respective

In the last of the mass demonstrations by students and workers on June 1st there was an awareness that the movement was melting. Fifty thousand people chanted “ce n’est qu’uri debut, continuons le combat.” (This is just a beginning, we continue the fight). In the words of one Renault worker, “it seems to me we came very close to something very new.” In the final analysis the movement failed. But it was victorious as well. The May events sent a shock through Europe. It showed that a revolution was possible in a developed nation. It showed that it was possible for students and workers to. unite. Not merely by participating in the same demonstrations, but also through expressing a common desire to restructure society along self-managed lines. The Long March from the Sorbonne to the Renault factory was perhaps the most significant symbol of the MayI events. While many students in the US who styled themselves as radicals were unable, and in many cases, unwilling to talk to the workers. the French students were capable of creating a joint movement that threatened a supposedly stable capitalist country. The French movement failed for a series of reasons: the activities oft he Communist Party, the organization of the government, and the many internal weaknesses of the movement itself. A movement which has rejected many traditional concepts of organisation quickly (heirarchy, etc.) failed to be able to develop new methods of organization q-uickly enough (though occupation councils were formed they never managed to coordinate activities effectively). Never the less, the events of May 1968 provide an example, of a different kind of student movement than was seen in the United States of America. They show that there were alternatives to the somewhat hollow slogans of “student power” which echoed through many US campuses in the late sixties. The perspective and direction of the French student movement provides a clear alternative to student centered organization and activism. With the exception of the Quebec student movement, students in North America have never really attempted to apply this kind ,of orientation. As thecommittee to Defend theoccupation Movement stated: “we aren’t fighting for educational reforms. We aren’t fighting for ,participation in our ivory towers. Students like every other segment of the oppressed population, have a clear choice. We may fight for totalsubversionofthepresent rottingorder and its replacement by a collectirely managed society with workers, with peasants. . . or we may utter empty phrases in isolation, a poor substitute for real life.”

counter offensives. The original explosion had caught them off guard; the participants in the occupations found it difficult to believe the extent of the event’s success. And so, almost by default, the initiative passed into the hands of thoseseekingtounderminetheoccupationand their revolutionary demands for collective selfmanagement. The CGT negotiated an “agreement” with the government that involved a minimal increase in the minimum wage and a com,mitment to sectional negotiations on wages. Nothing was mentioned about educa. tion. The Grenelle accords were announced as a great victory by the CGT on May 27th. L’Humanite declared the strikes successfull. But when Georges Seguy, leader ofthe CGT, when to the Renault car works to announce this great victory he was booed and shouted down by the mass meeting af workers. The workers passed a resolution stating that they wanted a transformation of society and selfmanagement, not just higher wages. The majority of workers in occupations were rejected the Grenelle agreements. The CFDT union rejected them. The street fighting continued., But those who rejected the CGT agreements had only minimal plans or strategy to replace them. On May 30, the Gaullists, the CDR’s and various right wing groups held a mass demonstration in Paris. Demonstratorschanted “Cohn-Behndit to Dachau”(Cohn-Behndit ws one of the student leaders from Nanterre who was of German Jewish descent) and “Students to the gas ovens”,. They also sang the Marseillaise. De Gaulle came on the radio and announced that elections were to be held. He assured the “ordinary” French people that they would now be able to restore order. The Communist Party welcomed the elections and called on all workers to return to work and vote for them. . : Some people drifted back to work. The student occupations and larger worker occupations remained solid, but it was obvious that the tide was turning. Theelection provided no real alternative to many who had participted in the movement. Many students could not vote since the voting age was 2 I. To many workers there seemed no point in voting for the Communist Party after the way that the CP and CGT had acted towards the occupations and strikes. Many of them didn’t even bother to vote. As soon as the impetus’was lost by the occupations the government began to use physical force against the occupations. The riot police attacked the Sorbonne and the Renault factories and finally succeeded in retaking them (with one worker being killed).

Roil revival into H urn

One hundred years ago, the great port of New Orleans was a vibrant city with riverboats docking, cultures mingling and music everywhere. It was here, at the turn of the century that Jelly Roll Morton, the great innovator of jazz, lived and played the piano, and built his fame. Unfortunately Jelly didn’t live long enough to enjoy the great jazz revival of today, but a pianist by the name of Bob Greene has captured the Jelly Roll Morton style and put together a jazz band with some of the old New Orleans musicians and some top New York jazz artists. He has recreated the World Of Jelly Roll Morton. The Band will appear for one concert only at 8 p.m. on Saturday, February 20, Humanities Theatre, University of Waterloo. Tickets are ,$9.50 (Stu./ Sen. $8.00). The Band features Bob Greene on piano, recreating Jelly Roll Morton’s style so effectively that some of the New Orleans originals have said “As long as you play, Jelly

So much of his music is familiar. The ‘concert will highlight much of the music that he wrote and the music of the New Orleans that he loved.

There was (of course) a slight delay. Apparently, all the plugs had to be rewired from the British electrical style to the North American. But we didn’t really mind. The opening band was a Torontonian group called Boys Brigade. Very NewWavish, their sound wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. Every piece seemed to be built around a heavy beat, and the lyrics were slurred and hidden beneath a waterfall of sound. They sounded much like a Blue Peter clone.

Other pieces played throughout the night were: the song from which comes their name (or vice versa) Fingerprin tz; a piece for all the ladies who liked to dance, C&walk; and several other pieces both old and new, such as WetJob; and several cuts off theirlatest

Coon-skinner Seeing Minglewood in concert -on Thursday night was not so much a musical event as a reunion of expatriates; “down homers”, that is. After an uneventful wait to get in - apparently BENT learned its lesson after the Klaatu fiasco - the band mounted the stage, fronted by guitarist Matt Minglewood. I’ve been told he was an individual; the crazy bugger w-as wearing a coonskin cap. (And all this time I’d expected a nor’wester.) The band’s forte is bluerock, very rowdy stuff when done up right. So putting them in a setting like the ballroom, with its posh ambience chandeliers even - seemed unlikely. Matt spent much of the first set coming down on the crowd for its lack of kickass spirt. In the end, though, this province was vindicated by the swarm on the dance floor, we may not be Maritimers, but even Ontarians can get loose. (To hell with democracy, beer is the great equalizer.) Because the band is made up of such strong musicians,

3Nylons - sheer energy Now for something completely different! The Nylons a Toronto based quartet blends a Capella with rock and roll in presenting tunes from the fifties, sixties and original material accompanied by smooth sychronized movement. As Stephen Gauer of the Ottawa Journal described their show: The human voice, the original musical instrument, times four. Their street corner/roof top style of a cappella singing threads together vocal harmonies, complex rhythms and percussion, choreography, staging and dramatic lighting into a unique, refreshing musical, and theatrical performance. Sheer energy generated by the vocal chords of four people. While a cappella traces its roots to church choral music, the future primitive sound of The Nylons combines elements of gospel, rhythm & blues, soul, rock.‘n’rolland theclassicdo-wah sound of the early 1950’s and 60’s to form a ne*w musical direction. The result is an uninhibited and honest celebration of the power of the human voice.

especially the harpist, most of the material is a joy to experience: hard-driving, boogie-based and damn fine escapist music, in the sense of letting off steam. ‘ Tak,e, for example, the old R&B classic, “Stagger Lee”. The boys ran it through some warm-up paces first, doing a few bars a las New Wave, then Las Vegas, then Country, before kicking out the jams. I laughed to myself in remembrance of another white boy who tried to tackle it: Neil Diamond. What they performed from their latest album is a different story; though. These songs take a standard AM format and push the energy level up a couple of notches. Unfortunately, it’s not enough to truly soar; the effect is like a latterday Icarus taking running starts on a runway, and stumbling. Minglewood hits the heights when they pump out their anthems. Caledonia is a bit of rock’n’roll fluff that gets carried off as a “pit-them-againsta-rival” rave-up, in this case, versus the El Mocambo. And

Can’t You See delves into the Maritime psyche, the mentality that make some people leave home, and dreading the prospect of having to face the folks back there if they don’t cut it i’n the big city. I wonder what the impotence rate is among these emigre . . . One of the flashier moments of the evening was Matt’s tour around the room, jumping onto tables and tearing off some lightning riffs via a radio relayer in his guitar. I had the dubious pleasure of having my beer jostled by this trick. “Nice bum”, said one of my mates, a D.P. herself. My only major complaint would be against the sound man, who started things off at a nicely tolerabie decibel level, but at night’s end had cranked up to a near bleeding height. He kept the mix pretty clean, though, I’ll give him that. Next time they come around, check out Minglewood. But come on an empty stomach; a half dozen pints, minimum, is the order of the day. You’ve been warned. Todd

iti its facade

chapter in American history, Ragtime centres on the awful cracks in the facade. Its a bit of genius to use the Model T as’ a symbol of injustice in America, as much as it symbolizes the wonders of capitalist enterprise and the assembly line. Henry Ford’s corporate slogan was to make an automobile inexpensive enough that any man could buy one. Accordingly, Walker threatens the firemen since he has prospered enough to own a car. (Ford himself had some problems with “uppity” labourers, and hence dispatched company goons to bust heads. It’s that grand old American “take-charge” attitude.) To extend the musical metaphor, if Walker’s story is the main theme, a counterpoint is the tale of sappy golddigger Evelyn Nesbit. (Elizabeth McGovern, who portrays Nesbit, was so goofily endearing in Ordinary People, it’s a tribute to her talent that she makes herself so noxious in this role.) Taking a big, sprawling novel full of historical figures alongside fictional ones, and bringing it to the screen, involves judicious consideration of what to include and what to discard. Unfortunately, Forman goes astray by including the episodes surrounding Nesbit.. Although the scenes are very finely done - especially those with

the silhouette-artist-cum -movie-moghul Tateh (Mandy Patinkin) - they end up being no more than pleasant diversions from the main story. “Like getting stoned”, said my companion; it doesn’t go anywhere. In the case of the film, the subplot doesn’t even have a proper ending. The movie is worth seeing if only for the strong performance all around; even the two children in the story are as believable as they can be. Special note must go to Rollins. While his character may take the route from indignant citizen to shotgun terrorist, he never becomes fanatical or agitated enough to make the viewer lose sympathy for him. In fact, by playing the character of black moderate figurehead Booker T. Washington against Walker, it is the former who comes ‘off the loser. As well, the film has been touted as the return to film of Jimmy Cagney, after asustained absence. He lives up to the hype, playing a New York City Police commissioner. Let’sfaceit,anyactorwhocan pull off a character with the name Rheinlander Waldo deserves some credit. At two and a half hours in length, Ragtime makes for a full night’s entertainment. It’s currentiy showing at the Hyland Theatre in Kitchener. Todd

,Theatresports: having fun with theatre

Perhaps the most socially significant aspect of the judging is the zero card which, if held up when a scene isin progress, stops that scene. It is a tactful ‘“gong” - - that says the scene is too dull to continue. The matter of judging, appropriately enough, brings us back to the question of how a reviewer can judge Theatresports. This is a hard question; usually the play is for the audience. On the , other hand, Theatresports is probably for the actors, too: a skillimproving device. But in the homeland of Theatresports, Calgary, there is a troupe which does nothing but play theatresports for money, to a full house. Perhaps the best summary of the matter is provided by Linda Carson, Theatresports judge and player: “(Theatresports) is for having fun.” . So, all this having been said, is Theatresports worth seeing? Yes. Improvisational theatre is probably more-interesting than mod other theatrical forms. Admittedly, sometimes it works out poorly. On the other hand, the potential is there for the actors to transcend previous performances and come up with something really entertaining and creative. _ _ The chances of anv given Theatresports night being

I don’t like advertisements, and I ignore them &s much as possible. I don’t need more than one-tenth of what isadvertised, and the last ninety percent I can probably do witho’ut and live a better. life. That’s why I surprised myself the other night when I bought a bottle of Yukon Jack, (heavily advertised in Imprint) whi?h is called in the advertisement “the Black Sheep of Canadian Liquors”. I wouldn’t normally have bought it. I would normally not have followed one of their obscure recipes for preparing it, either. But I mixed myself a “Mackenzie Gold” on Saturday night while listening to a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy tape and wished that I had been drinking it while watching Theatresports on Friday evening. That’s what Theatresports needs - or, at least, a reviewer of Theatresports. It’s not that one wants a painkiller ‘to see. Theatresports, or even an insulator. You don’t need to drink to. feel “at home” with the players or the other members of the audience at HH180, a rather small room that is the rehearsal room for the UW Drama Department. No, the reason for the drink is to dull your critical circuits, to ’ chemically solve the problem of whether or not the * Theatresports actors should be given the benefit of not only the doubt of their being amateur actors, but the benefit of the doubt connected with them not showing on what merits it should be judged. Theatresports is competitive impro&ational acting. That is to say, two teams square off against each other and each tries to out-perform the other. Points are awarded for successfully amusing the judges. The improvs are given some structure by the games played. Divisible roughly into two categories, one group are the when representatives of both teams are on stage; “challenges”, and “best scenes” where there is one team on stage playing with itself. Challengesinclude:BestTwooutofThreeHatGames,ZLoue You, and Die. Haf Games are scenes played by one member of each team, and they’re each wearing hats. The object is to steal the other person’s hat, or to have the other person make an attempt to steal your hat, and fail. ILoue You - to see who cdn be most in love. Die - a story started by one player, continued by another without missing beat, If the person fails, he or she dies. I The other general type, “Best scenes”, are easy to understand - best scene with a piranha, for example, wouldinvolve the two teams trying to outdoeach other bycreatingafunnier encounter with, or using a piranha. These scenes areevaluated by a panel of three judges. Points are awarded on a scale from zero to five; two is average. Judges are picked from people who know Theatresports games and concepts; they must have at least gone to a Theatresports workshop.

entertaining are very good, considering the actors involved: some of the best talent and most creative people on campus are involved in Theatresports. Participating in Theatresports is as much fun as watching it; A Day in the Life is a game where the players ask a member of the audience to describe a day from their life; the players portray it. I have never bared my soul in this manner, but many people have seemed to enjoy seeing themselves portrayed. As well, it looks like Theatresportsis becoming something of a new form of theatre across Canada. Originating, as has been said, in Calgary and then having moved here, it also has had workshops in Toronto, and a Theatresports group there was the result. It is not often that one has the chance of seeing something new in theatre created. In fact, this weekend (see Campus Events in this newspaper) the Waterloo troupe will compete against a Toronto troupe. My recommendation is to see Theatresports, and see it without too many prior expectations. Not only can you not be disappointed when in this frame of mind, but you will be in a fit state to experience a new form of theatre that, at worse., is interesting: and at best. fabulouslw

For the second year ina row, the University of Waterloo Athenas placed second in the OWIAA Championships to Queen’s University. “Always a bridesmaid is too familiar to us” said Coach Judy McCrae. “We had our chances to win but couldn’t put them away. They (Queen’s) curled well. It was our typical game in the intercollegiate finals. Each rock was meaningful -execution was paramount.” Earlier in the double kno?kout format, Waterloo defeated Guelph 7 - 4 and defeated Queen’s 6 5. Queen’s emerged then as the ‘B’ side winner thus pitting Waterloo and Queen’s in the final game.

Hbopers in the last minutes of’ the game, it could easily have gone either way, with the Waterloo basketball Warriors holding a, single point lead over MacMaster’s Marauders. Warrior Peter Savich added another point on a foul shot and finished the tally for the night at 82-80. Windsor Coach Don Punch cited Warrior Scott King as the decisive figure in the game. King, he said. did “a heck of a job inside. Without King they’d have been in trouble:” Scott King is enjoying a good season all round as an important rebounder and more recently as a scorer.

“It was as good as, we can play’.” admitted Punch, “We need to tighten our defense a little more. We’re peaking.” He was pleased with the Marauder effort, but he was somewhat upset with the behavior of the Waterloo fans who sat behind the Mat bench jeering and using obscenities much to the coach’s chagrin. “This is the most beautifulgym in the league,” he said. “It’s a first class operation,” but the derogatory language and such he described as being “like putting eight dollar tires on a brand new Cadillac.” The coach , encountered similar trouble last year when one of the fans spit in his face.

“If you go down to Seagrams Friday you’re sure, of a big surprise.” That’s certainly true if you are at all interested in 5-a-side soccer. Go down on a Friday afternoon and peer through the small window and you’ll see some skillful and joyful individ’ual play reminiscent of the dazzling Carribean All Star teams of yesteryear. Perhaps more surprisingly, given the relative youth of the sport in Canada. you’ll also see some excellent team play where the ‘Total Football’ concept developed by Dutch teams in the seventies is integrated with the ‘Catenaccio’ defensive strategy so beloved by the Italians. Nowhere is this better exemplified than in the strong play of the as-yet unbeaten ‘Team Socrates’ (Won 4, Tied I) composed of a mixed bag of Philosophers, Earth Scientists and the odd Biologist. A High weekly turnout of enthusiasts willing to play in any position coupled with the aforementioned-sweeper strategy has so far taken Ret league F by storm. Based on sound defence, whereby the vociferous sweeper (or chopper as he is sometimes known) marshalls attacks whilst nipping the opponents efforts in the bud,‘ the remaining outfield players basically interchange positions whilst holding to the proven 1.5 up 1.5 back pattern. Some glorious’ goals have resulted as the unselfish onetouch football plalved by this remarkable team has demolished some of the sternest defences in the league. (They won their last two games 9 - I and 6 - 2.) A word too about the high standards of goal keeping shown by most teams. Spectacular and brave saves have been the order of the day. even in the face of blatant encroachment of the keeper’s areas. The keepers should be afforded more protection, and ,I submit that any encroachment of their areas be treated as a foul. By the same token wc have seen keepers exhibiting a bizarre notion of just where they are allowed to handle the ball. Again 1 submit that the keeper should under no circumstances beallowed outside his area. A penalty (with no run up) from the edge of the area should result in thecase of transgression.

The hot handed Warriors travel to St. Catherines this week to meet the high ranking Brock Badgers. Waterloo coach Don McCrae is “delighted. We’ve played so well against the league leaders. We beat them here (in Waterloo). We want to beat them there.” Back at the start of the season McCrae predicted that the OUAA (Ontario Undergraduate Athletic Association) West would be a competitive league.

After setting both a team record and a pool record here in the U of W pool; what comes next? How about setting an Ontario Women’s Inter-col& legiate Atheletic Association (OWIAA) record! This is exactly what Athena Lynn Marshall did as she swam the 200 metre freestyle event at the OWIAA championships. In addtion to winning the 200 m free. Marshall also won the 100 m free and came in second in the 400 m free. Before the kthenas took their team to Brock, only Marshall and Kerry DeHay had qualified for the Canadian Inter-collegate Atheletic Union (CIAU) Championships (which will be at the University of British Columbia March 4 - 6). DeHay’s strong stroke is butterfly. Even thought she had already qualified, DeHay came in second in the IO0 m fly. When all the waves had died down. two more Athenas had qualified.

Friday,

Last weekend Waterloo hosted a women’s individual squash tourhament. The results of the players in the 4, flight levels are included in the chart accompanying this art icle. Team members from WesMcMaster, York, tern, Laurier, and a few clubs participated in the tournament along with the Waterloo ‘nlavers. r-J ~~ ln A flight, lndrid Mehlhorn (Western), Kathy Campbell and Arlene Chapman (McMaster) competed for overall first position. Mehlhorn tookfirst offcampbell. in four very close games.

When asked about thegame Campbell replied, “I played too many cross courts when trying to play to lefthanded Mehlhoin’s backhand.‘* As usual, Campbell’s playing was excellent: fast, strategically placed and accurate shots. She tried to take the ball early by volleying and thus maintain control of the T. Once her opponent was out of position, Campbell’s hard-hit iow shot usually won points for her. Before entering the A flight consolation, Birch-Jones met with Mehlhorn. Birch-Jones playing w,as superb: her boasts from the back of the court are / often winners. She is ex-

The Game of !&wash

Squash has becomeAincreasingly popular over the past few years, probably because it provides its’ participants with vigorous exercise within a short time peribd. It is surprising then to find that the game was invented as early as 1850 in England. The game was, named “Squash” because oft he sound the soft round ball made on the walls. A few years later, Americans wanted a faster game and therefore developed a harder, livelier ball and eventually the narrow North American court. Today, the English tend to play with the soft ball while the Americans like the hard ball.

The Rules of Squash Squash is played in-a fully enclosed room requiring proper techniques, strategy, good physically conditioned players, and lots oftime for practice. There aye two types of squash courts: the N,orth American Singles Court (Waterloo’s courts) and the International Court (2.5 inches wider than the North American courts, and the slanted boundary lines at the top of the side walls.)

if the player in the act of striking touches his opponent; if the player drops his racket, calls out or in any other way distracts the attention of his opponent; g) if the ball breaks during play; h) if hand-out is not ready and does not attempt to take the service; Between games an interval of one minute is optional, and between the fourth and fifth games in a five game match a two minute interval is optional. Regulation. Ball for most competition‘ is the yellow dot squash ball - the slowest. Equipment should include protective $ye glasses which are available from the PAC desk upon request.

Basic Squash Tactics a)

Place ihot deep into the corners of the court, usually close to the wall. b) Return to the top of the ‘T’ between shots in a ready position -crouched and racket head up. Watch the ball - especially when your c) opponent is serving! 6) Always try to get behind the ball before hitting it. e) When trying to return a shot off the back wall, don’t rush it. Wait until the ball is further from the wall and trytoget behind it. f) Concentrate on the placement of your shot. g) Always movs away from your shot after hitting the ball so as to give your opponent a clepy; view. h) Try for all shots - you’ll be amazed at how often you’ll be able to get to the ball.

ying this article is a diagram of‘the popular North American courts and the various names associated with the areas. The Score: A match consists of the best of 3 or 5 games. Each game is up to 9 points, unless the scores reach 8-all. When this happens for the first time, hand-out has the option of choosing 1 or 2 niore points before the game is won. If hand-out chooses 2 points, the game continues until one player get: 10 points. Points can only be scored by hand-in. . The right to serve is decided by the spin of a racket. Service: The service ball should bestruck in the air and hit the front wall first before landing into the receiving court. At the beginning of each game and of each serve, the server may serve from either box, but after scoring a point he shall then serve from the other. If the server serves from the wrong box, there,shall be no penalty and the service shall count as if served from the right box, except that hand-out may, if he does not attempt to take the service, demand that it be served from the other box. Faults: a) server fails to stand with at least one foot within and not touching the line surrounding the seririce box (called a foot fault) b) the ball is served on or belocsl the cut line on the front wall. the ball served first touches thefloorXon or c) I in front of the short line d) the ball served first touchesthefloorinthe wrong half of the court or on the halfcourt line. If the receiver attempts to take a fault the service thereupon becomes good and the ball continues in play.
