Feds fail- to generate 1 any ac,tivity for “Day’ of Protest” There were no posters; there were no armbands. In an interview yesterday morning Tom Allison, the new Chairman, of the Board of External Relations told the Imprint that “the black armband idea was cpnsidered and rejected in the same way that the class boycott (which was part of OFS’ strategy) was considered and rejected . . . I don’t always get my way.” ‘ When asked why Federation of Students President Wim Simonis didn’t plan anything Allison responded, “I won’t criticize or defend Wim on this particular issue.” Last we-ek, Allison told Imprint that he was upset over the article headlined, “Feds drop OFS Day of Protest”. According to Allison, the Federation did have concrete plans for U W’s participation in the OFS(0ntari.o Federation of Students) Da!, of Protest. He refused to disclose what those plans were, preferring to keep the media and everyone else in suspense. He did way,

’

however, that “by fO:OO a.m. Thursday morning (yesterday) everyone on campus is going to know what we’re doing.” Allison said that students would be informed in sufficient time as to what to do as a form of protest. He added that it would take little effort for students to become involved. Jmprint found out that Allison was planning to have students, faculty and staff wear blackarmbands during the day of protest. Posters were to go up Wednesday afternoon telling students where togo to pick up theirarmbands. Last week Allison told Imprint that part of the reason Waterloo would be maintaining a low profile for the day of protest was that he had been an executive for only a couple of weeks. Hesaid that the outgoingcouncil hadn’t planned anything and there was not enough time for the new people to do anything about it.” Allison also said that he is “hoping to work with Imprint to raise student consciousness.” Cathy McBride

CS cutbacks * anger students: me&big held General Math students banded together when they were hit where it hurts: right in the Computer Science courses. i>ver 200 of them met Wednesday with the Chairman of the Computer Science Janusz Brzozowski, and several Computer Science (CS) professors, Department, including V. (Arnie) Dyck, Undergraduate Officer, to discuss recent restrictions placed on student enrolment in CS coures. “The problem, basically, is very simple,” Brzozowski said, “there are too many of you (students) and too few of us (faculty).” Brzozowski said that the problem of not having enough qualified CS teachers is evident v not only at Waterloo but all across North America and perhaps the world.

Friday,

These restrictions apply to all faculties: * All computer science courses labelled 340 or higher are restricted to third- and fourth-year students. * All computer science courses labelled 440 or higher are restricted to fourth-year students. * All first- and second-year students are restricted to at most one computer science course each term. * All third- and fourth-year general (and pass) students are restricted to at most two computer science coureses each term. * All third- and four-year honours students are restricted to at most three computer science courses each term. * All third- and fourth-year honoursstudents are restricted to at most three computer science courses each term. . * Registration in computer science 448 and ‘482 is restricted to fourthyear honours computer science students. Equivalent courses, computer science 338 and 432, are available for other students. * Spring enrolment in computer science courses other than computer science 140 will be limited to students enrolled in co-operative programmes. The rule particularly affects foreign students -who are ineligible for co-op - wanting to take spring computer science courses. * Co-op students on work term during spring won’t be able to take A spring computer science courses. * Co-op students on work term dur.ing spring won’t be able to enrol in computer science courses. * Spring enrolment in computer science courses by part timestudents, . as well as full-time non-degree students, as well as full-time non-degree students, will be restricted to computer science 1 12, 1 15 and 1 16 on campus and computer science 116/ 117 by correspondence.

Brzozowski said that the normal,,source of new CS faculty is recently graduated PhD students. He said that there are only about 200 such graduates in all of North America each year; Canada produces about 19; 6 of these were from U W. This creates severe problems, because there are 36 CS departments in Canada and many of the graduates are not Canadian citizens - the federal government discourages the hiring of non-Canadian professors. “Academic Computer Science has ceased to be an attractive career” Brzozowski said, citing that overcrowded classes, obsolete equipment, a lack of research funding, and non/ competitive salaries, are deterrents to prospective faculty. Many of the students in attendance were-upset that they had been cut off from taking coureses that they had wanted without receiving any advance notice. Brzozowski replied, “You people didn’t give us any notice-that you’d be taking all the same courses.” A number of students disagreed, saying that the department should be able to predict the number of people enroling in upper year CS courses based on first year statistics. ‘Brzozowski concluded the meeting by commenting that there were no short term answers and that the students should “bear with us”.

Attitude

im Dortaizt:

A survey of UW ~0-0~ employers has shown that “attitude” and “work experience” were t e most impor-t tant criteria usa d when ranking students for their company’s co-op jobs. The survey .was conducted last summer by the Student Advisory Council to the Department of Co-ordination and Placement. The questionnaire asked recruiters to list, in order of importance, the tcriteria used when ranking students for’ co-op jobs. The questionnaire Listed eight possible factors and allowed for others to be added. There were 528 responses out of a possible 900. / Overall the student’s “attitude” and “work experience” were judged to be of prime importance to the majority of recruiters with attitude slightly ahead. “Personality” l+‘as‘ judged to be the third most important criterion. Ranked closely together in fourth, fifth and sixth place were “grades”, “relevant courses taken” and “work term evaluations”. Of least importance, in seven<h and eighth place were“appearante’” and “extra curricular activities”. The results were reasonably consistent across all faculties with a few exceptions. In H.K.L.S “personality” was ranked slightly ahead of“work experience”, and in‘ science’ “grades” were in third place. The Student Advisory Council emphasizes however that different criteria would be used when employers prescreen applicants for co-op interviews.

their criteria for pre-screening students would be “work experience”, “ relevant courses taken” and thirdly “work term evaluations”. Both employers tended to downplay grades pointing out that at UW you are dealing with intelligent students anyway, and grades do not necessarily indicate a persons potential to become a good engineer. The comment was made, however, that recruiters for research positions may have slightly different criteria for selectjng students. John Spews

The ‘Get Around Gang’ is planning ‘to give students a new way to get to the university in the near future. The planning department of Kitchener Transit is looking into instituting a new bus route to cover the, expanding west side of K-W. The bus wouldprovide service between the universities and Fairview Mall via a long, twisting route. According to Walter Beck, transport planner for the City of Kitchener, this route is to b-e the first ste’p towards a changeover to a grid pattern for the entire transit system. ‘However, the proposed route didn’t meet with unanimous approval. Will Ferguson, a Kitchener alderman, proposed that the new route go straight up Westmount instead of up the HallmanFischer corridor. Waterloo alderman Robert Henry added that not using Westmount would likely discourage

’ ’

students living along Westmount from using the bus. But, according to Beck, the new route was not designed with university students in mind, being aimed more at students attending Forest Heights Collegiate and the planned developments further west than Westmount. He claimed that Westmount Rd. is already sufficiently served by the present routes. Beck estimated that the route would operate from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturdays, in order to serve students taking night classes. At the same meeting, a new “para-transit” system was dis‘cussed to be used for late-night service for two established routes (including the Lakeshore-Lincoln route). If this system comes into being, fifte.en-passenger vans would be used to extend the Route 9 service until midnight. Rob Dobrucki

The Ontario Region president has been an Imprint staffer for three years. Voting took place over a one-week period, by secret ballot, to encourage as many staff as possible to participate. The question of CUP fees was not the main issue of the discussion - discussion centred around whether or not it was worthwhile for Imprint to belong to the national organization: whether it was of any intrinsic use to us, and if it was worthwhile for us to continue1 in the organization (considering our partici‘pation rate in it has been very low this year). If anything, money was a question of principle rather than amount: “Is it Many things happenin student organworth paying anything to belong to an izations that students never find out organization we don’t use effectively?” (Imprint’s financial future seems seabout.

INews Fed board It appears that student seats on the university Senate are not a popular item, or just that students missed the small announcement in the Gazette advertising the openings. Nominations for the four student seats were opened recently, and only one bf the senate attracted any takers. Two matL students are vying for the ‘student-at-large’ seat, .while seats in Arts, Science and Environmental Studies/ Integrated Studies failed to attract any interested students. These four seats are for two year terms beginning this April and ending March 30; 1984. There are also four student seats elected on alternating twoyearcyclesand thus will come up for nominations in the winter of 1983. There was some concern on the part of students that there was no biographical information sent ou,t with the ballots, thus reducing the voting to a matter of random choice. W,hen contacted by the /mprint, the office of the university Secretariat stated that there was nc biographical information sent out simply because the twostudents had not submitted anything. It was indicated that had they sent in some information that it would have been sent out with the ballots. However, one of the candidates for the student-at-large seat, Bruce Glasford, told Imprint that he was given no indication that biographical informatioii could be submitted and that the nomination form simply asked for the signatures of ten under&-aduate students. When asked whether these seats must stay vacant for the full two year term, Elaine Cadell of the Secretariat offic’e stated that a by-election could be held if a petition were presented to their office. A petition consists of the signature of ten students from the constituency that is being contested. This situation may be remedied, however, if Federation of Students president’ Wim Simonis is able to implement a policy which he is working on

The difference between first and second was a mere 1,020 points (300,000 points wins a free game on Black Hole; 800,000 on Time Line), which can be attained by hitting only one extra target. All three winners will receive trophies. As well, Sasani will have his name engraved on the Pinball Tournament Winner’s Plaque hanging in the Games R,oom.

All three groups expressed equal confidence in their choice, but the conclusions of those who’d read the critical letter contrasted s.harply with those of the sets who’d read the neutral or favourable letters. The negative letter elicited doubt about the candidate’s successes and lent credence to his failures. The neutral letter, as much as the commendatory one, had the opposite effect. Criticism, unfortunately, has more impact than praise on hiring decision -so be sure that your references have at least neutral opinions of you. Cathy Tyroler

The most evident swing was in Brandon West, where fees will be froien in 1982-83. the shift to the NDP among University administrators, Brandon University, students however, warn that days of was so pronounced it swung painful cutbacks may not be over yet. They say t he universities will be able to freeze tuition fees only if they are granted enough funding to maintain existing services. Each university has the final say in setting tuition fees. but the decisions are heavily influenced by how much the government funds t,hem’ through the provincial University Grants Commission (UGC). 1he UGC will make a special grant of $1.6 million to compensate the University of Manitoba for revenue it will lose from, the fee freeze. Smaller grants will be given to the other two universities. These compensatory payments would not come as deductions from normal block funding. Naimark said he had ‘“information” that the UGC grant will fall “substantially short of the 18.4 per cent in the asking budget.” If the UGC gives less than 18.4 per cent in funding increases, the U of M wili again face the dilemma of raising fees or cutting services. University of Winnipeg president Robin Farquhar concurs with Naimark. Farquhar said the freeze, announcement is good news, but only if the UGCapproves the university’s 18.3 per cent funding increase. The announcement by Premier Howard Pawley’s NDP government is in sharp contrast to Manitoba policy under Progressive Conservative Sterling ‘Lyon, whose reelection bid was defeated November 17. Under Lyon, Manitoba universities recorded slumps in funding with spiralling tuition fees each year. The Univeristy of Winnipeg requested a 14.8 per cent grant increase to keep pace with inflation in 1978, but the UGC approved ‘a 1.2 percent allotment; in i979it again asked for 14.8 per cent, and received 7.1 percent;in 1980therequestfor 14.3 percent resulted inagrant of 8.3 per cent. A demonstration by 800 students in front of the provincial legislature in 198 I, a> election year, may have influenced the government’s decision to grant’the U of W the full 14.6 per cent funding increase it requested. By then, though, U of W tuition fees had climbed from $425 in 1977 to $670, the university had been forced to run down its operating surplus, class sizes had been increased and equipment, services, library acquisitions and

uniyersiti be prepared ta make ‘up the differences.” No other provincial government has made such an unequivocal statement on how it would respond to planned reductions in federal transfers to the provinces used to fund post-secondary education. The provincial and federal governments are now locked in a series of negotiations over revenues, guarantee payments and equalization transfers. Other provincial governments are playing it safe, refusing to reveal what they will do if the federal government goes ahead with the plans,, it announced in the November 12 budget. N,o one is sure what the net effect on provincial revenues of the complex tax changes outlined in the budget would

be. Estimates of the net revenue loss over the next five years have *varied from $1.9 billion to $9.2 billion. The most widely-accepted estimate is that of the Globe and Mail, that provincial revenues would be a ‘minimum of $3.5 bilhon less than if present arrangements were. continued for the next five years. The federal cuts are not absolute cuts, but relative to what they would be under present .arrangements. The provinces oppose these cuts.- They have tried to maintain a unified front in the confusing maze of negotiations since N0vembe.r. They have said that <he federal cuts would greatly reduce the amount of money they have available for advanced education.

s The federal government answers that the provinces have not bee’n pulling their weight in funding advanced ed’ucation, even though it is their jurisdiction under the British North America Act. They say‘the provinces must assume a higher share of the costs. Recently, the , federal government unilateraily threatened to go ahead with its proposed budget changes effective March 3 1. The provinces want to continue negotiations in hope of a breakthrough. The federal government says it is pessimistic about the chances for a quick deal. But, except for Saskatchewan, the provinces still refuse to reveal their contingency plans, if indeed they have any. I

three day semin’ar on microcomputers, that was organized by Shirley Fentoh of the Computer Services Department.

To the initiated they are microprocessors or microcomputers; to the uninitiated they are referred to as home or personal computers. Regardless of their des,ignation, micros are invading homes, offices and academia at a rate that rivals that of the early telephone system. In fact, micros may replace your telephone. So what is a micro? For the purpose of discussion, the computer is divided into two parts; hardware describes the actual physical devices which make up the microcomput”er (or computer); software refers to the programs, or sequences of instructions, which perform the d,esired functions. The term micro is actually just a prefix which ‘designates equipment that takes advantage of a process called large scale integration (LS!), more commonly referred to as chip technology. That is, the process bywhich thousands of circuits and transistors are layered and junctioned on top of a silicon chip that can vary in size from the head of a pin to the size used in micros, about one and half square inches. It is the reduction in size that characterizes the microcomputers. When microcomputers are mentioned, manufacturers names such as Apple, Radio Shack and Atari usually come to mind, but the names that should come to mind are names like INTEL, MOSTEK, Motorola and Zilog - for those are the companies that produce LS! microprocessors used in the central pro cessing units of the microcomputers. It is these units that dictate how powerful (i.e. the languages a computer can handle) a particular computer will be. Thus the microprocessor is the vital /piece of hardware in the micro computer, but is the least visible. The most visible hardware of the computer is, of course, the keyboard and the cathode-ray tube (CRT) display screen. These can be integrated into one unit which. resembles a simple computer terminal or they can be separate in a modular system. Both the keyboard and the CRT display are referred to as input/output devices. Since the microprocessor only deals with information in binary form; that is, all information is represented by either a one or a zero, the keyboard must translate written characters into an ASCII code (American Standard Code for Information Interchange). This code is standard for all microprocessors except the IBM’s which used an EBCDIC code (Extended Binary-Coded Decimal Information Code). If the keyboard is regarded as the first step in information processing then the CRT screen would be considered the last processAfter the incoming data has been processed in machine code, the outcoming code is sent through a character generator which sends real characters and numerals ontothe display screen.

disk drives can be added as an accessory. Disk But a great deal happens in between these a rives can also be coupled in pairs until an two devices. adequate amount of storage is reached. A disk Before being processed the incoming data must be stored somewhere and that some- ‘. system utilizing a 5.25 in. floppy disk can store where is the memory, and there are different up to 11 K bytes per disk, and can transfer up to types of memory.

But the cost of the software may be units. A control unit sequences theoperation of more than the hardware. the entire system. For instance, a qeneral ledger software package at Radio Shack costs $669.00; the accounts payable program is the same price, as is the accounts receivable.

computers that. anyone can use, they had to I come up with a fairly simple language. So they developed BASIC, Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. The language is easy to learn, and is all-purpose, but is not very powerful in any one area. Most micros do accept. other languages such as PASCAL, which is a highly structured data oriented language; FORTRAN, or FORmula TRANp lator, a language used in scientific applications or COBOL, Common Business Oriented Language, used for business applicatrons. There is also APL, A Programming Language which has very powerful mathematics ap plications. Of course these languages are not as powerful on a micro as they are on& mainframe andare sometimes prefixed by the word micro to denote these limitations. All micro manufacturers offer software packages for their machines that eliminate the need for the user to write any programs of their own, For instance, most of the machines have aI “home budget” type of program. All the user does is plug in the cartridge or disk, press aI key, perhaps the inquire key and a list of budget areas or a menu comes on the screen. The user then picks which area is appropriate, perhaps i entertainment, and proceeds to press the key r that corresponds to that area. Then, perhaps aI series of questions comes on the screen, such I as “How much would you like to spend on enter tainment this month?’ These questions require ! a simple numeric answer which is then put intc memory. After this process is completed for all; areas of the budget, the computer will tell you how much over your income you are and 1 suggest that you cut back in some area. Noi very sophisticated but at least you can tel i people that you have a computer-managec 1 accounting system. Of all the software packages offered by the ! manufacturers, it is the games packages thai t sell the home computer. Versions of Space 3 Invaders, sports games, chess, etc. are al 1 available on the various micros.

The memory capabilities of a computer is measured in bytes, with one byte capable of holding one ASCII character’or two EBCDIC digits. This follows from the fact that-a byte can handle a unit of eight bits, or eight O’s or 1‘sand the ASCII code utilizes seven bits to represent each typed character. Bytes are generally referred to in terms of K which’ is 1024 bytes, therefore a 64K memory can store64 x 1024 bytes. Larger memory capabilities are designated by the term megabyte which is a million bytes. .

Using a Micro

Although there are variations on a theme, there are three basic ways that a person can 8utilize a microcomputer. -

computers to talk to each other. This would be a totally interactive system since both individuals could send and receive information from each other. This simple network would be beneficial if one of the micros had supporting hardware that the other one (didn’t. If one individual wanted hard copy but didn’t have a printer, but his friend did, then the programs could be run on the one micro and printed out on the other. The same- idea applies tostoring information/in another machines memory or storage facilities. Networks can also be very large, such as the Datapac network in Canada. This network allows access to most of the large mainframe computers in Canada, and in conjunction with the two large United States networks, Telenet and Timenet many large computers in the U.S. These networks facilitate long distance communications with mainframe computers that may have programs or information retrieval systems that are useful to a user across the continent from where the main computer is. Two people could also collaborate on a single project using a mainframe computer in another country. Co-op students who want to continue their research while on work terms can have access to the Honeywell system or the IBM on campus through the Datapac network. There can also be local networks set up where the micros are in relatively close physical proximity‘ to each other, suchlas a university campus or large office building, by simply using a coaxial cable system. This is presently being attempted at this university,although so far only the math building has been wired and that is being tested now. One of the more publicized network concepts is the Telidon system or Videotex. This is a government project that eventuallywill lead to a complete information service available to anyone who has a terminal.

.[M”“,,I

The first is as a stand alone device, that is, the user is satisfied with the power and memory ‘- capabilities of the micro by itself. Although the, micro may have all kinds of supporting hardware such’ as disk drives, plotters and printers, all the information processing is done within that microsystem. a itas’ A second way of utilizing a micro is to us either a smart or dumb terminal and interface it with a mainframe computer. When used as a dumb terminal, the information that is keyed into the micro is simply sent on to the larger mainframe computer by an input/output port where the information is processed and then ’ sent back to the screen of the micro.

Clock

As an .intelligent or smart terminal,; the computing power of a mainframe can supplement that of the micro. A software program would have to be written that would allow small routines or perhaps subroutines to ’ be run on the micro while the larger routines would be sent to the mainframe. Mainframes may only be needed to provide larger amounts ’ of spaceforfiles, which then can be accessed by the micro. A third way of utilizing a micro is to interface it , with a network of some sort. To do this a micro must have an RS232 port which allows an acoustic coupler to be interface the micro with the public telephone network. A simple type of network would consist of an individual with a friend across town or across the country who has a similar micro. One person phones up the other, both parties put the telephone headsets on the acousticcouplers, thus allowing the .

- i

the English This term, Society has presented readings by, poets Francis Sparshott (Toronto) and Barry McKinnon (B. C.), and distinguished novelists Rudy Wiebe, Margaret Atwood, Richard Wright,andon March 19 - Alice Munro. However, on March 4, the English Society hosted a very special event that was perhaps more significant than the previous ones. The’ opportunity was made available to listen to aspiring poets and short Story / writers of the University of Waterloo community. One of the purposes of the Forum was to provide needed exposure andencouragement to student writers. As well, these seven student writers from different backgrounas had the opportunity to meet one another and gain inspiration fromeach other’s unique expressions. Indeed, we all needed to be inspired by the creative energy thtit flowed from each writer. We’ve now established a precedent for Student For urns, and we must continue the tradition. If you would like to read your writing, whether it be poetry, short stories or parts of a novel, please contact the English Society. We’d like to plan Student Forums for the future. Nancy M.

Martin

I should write a story for Martin. I should write it because: (a) he would like it if I wrote a story for him. But it may make him nervous at first. I mean it may make him nervous until he’s finished reading it because he won’t know until then that there is nothing nasty written about him in the story. I , wouldn’t write anything nasty about Martin because there is nothing nasty that I could truthfully write and even if there was I wouldn’t write it down (although I might tell Lorna). Martin knows that I wouldn’t write a nasty thing about him, but he might worry anyway. Martin is like that. I’ll tell him that there is nothing nasty in it before I let him read it and then maybe I won’t have a problem. Maybe. I should write it because: (b) I really should write something new. It seems all Iever do is rewrite and retype old stories. And I’m bored with typing them. My fingers want a challenge, a new arrangement of letters, different sentence lengths. If I was writing/typing for my fingers’ sakes alone, then I would write a poem because’they wander all over the page and there are no paragraphs to worry about. But., I’m supposed to be writing for Martin and he doesn’t really care about how it is typed (although he’ll appreciate the fact that it is typed because he doesn’t like to read my writing and he’ll also appreciate the effort - the physical effort of the typing), rather he cares about what it says. This is partly because he’s worried that it may say something nasty, and partly because he knows that I’ll make him read it. Martin likes very vivid, imaginative, colourful but at the same time precise, concise, elegant descriptions. I’m not too crazy about adjectives myself, but I do know a few,. I’ll use ’ them when I write the story for Martin. What will I write about? Good question. Martin likes nice stories, but I’m a bit too crabby to write nicey-nice things. I get all confused about what other people think‘is nice so it’s hard to find something to write about. Every now and then I’ll hit it lucky, however, and write a nice story without realizing it. If someone tells me that it’s a nice story then I’m surprised and I wonder what it is that makes it nice. Usually they can’t explain this to me. Maybe I’ll understand it someday. It would probably be easier for me if I had a maternal instinct, but I don’t. I’d rather have books than children. Books are quieter. What other kind of story would Martin like? Maybe I’ll write about Martin. ’ Martiri When M. P. de G. was a very little boy he looked out his window and identified cars by their make and year. When he was a little older, after his parents had moved him to Canada, he identified stamps by their place and date of issue. When he was a little older still he became so obsessed by the age of things that he only bought used clothing and most of his books were second-hand as well. This obsessionprogressed to such an extent that he finally had to change his major to history. He is still studying history so he doesn’t feel too guilty about buying new clothes or freshly printed books on occasion. Now Martin studies history and he studies people by the lines and expressionsthat appear on their faces. Martin isn’t a leg man, he’s a face man. Martin isn’t a billboard either . . . just ask him. He’ll say, “I’m a man, not a billboard.” I’m not sure if that’s an exact quote only because I’m not sure if he says the . comma. Martin says he likes my face. My face isn’t as worried as my hands are, but it does have quite a few lines. I got those lines from being crabby so I’m particularly fond of them even though every now and then I drown them in beauty cream threatening them all the while with imminent erasure. Poor things. Martin has lines on his face, too. Sometimes I would like to paint red and blue in the little creases, maybe some green as well.‘1 gave Martin some of my beauty cream to drown out his wrinkles and he uses it too.‘I like-to be there when he puts it on so that I can see the cream in the crevices befoie it soaks in. His face drinks the cream faster than mine does so he has to buy his own now, I can’t afford to support his habit. Maybe I should never have gotten him hooked. Martin is working very hard these days so I call him up to make him laugh or I call him up and be crabby to him. This is to make him forget his work for awhile. I’m sure both of these distracting techniques work equally well, but I prefer the latter. The former is Martin’s favourite, however: Well, that’s that.,A story for Martin. His story, Hisstory, History.

If I squeeze my eyes shut tight, I see all kinds of neat colors. They go swirling Bround and around. Then I squeeze my eyes even tighter, and sometimes, I get to be in the colors. I’m on a leaf in the middle of a pond. I think maybe it’s a lily pad, cause real close by there is a soft huge white thing and it smells like a flower. It’s really great to lean on cause it smells so neat. I guess I must haveshrunk to get here, but I think I like being small. A little bit further away I can see a thing in the air. I know that it is some kind of an insect, but it doesn’t look the same when you are so much smaller than it. Maybe it’s a fly - but it has some beautiful colors I’ve never seen before; they glisten in the sunlight. The fly (I’m sure now that that is what it is) is coming closer, and I can hear it throbbing, it sounds sort of like an engine running. Oh-oh, I think it’s going to land on my lily pad. “Hey, don’t land here, you’ll squish me. Can’t you see me?” Hey, it’s‘nice to be back in my room on my bed. I don’t think game anymore today.. It’s kind of scarey to be almost squashed

Social comments It was a play that didn’t have a happy ending. In fact, although the acting ended, the play did not. It is a play that will be acted out in real life many times, and will continue to be played out until the audience becomes angry enough to stop the play. This is a play about the families of Minima@, a Japanese fishing port, and in particular the life of a small girl nameayoka, from her birth until she is nine years old. It is a play about families who fished the sea for generations and trusted the sea. It is also a play about a factory, the Chinsu factory, that began producing . plastics and dumping the leftover mercury in the water. It is also the story of how, after the first signs of mercury poisoning were found, an unsuspecting company doctor, diagnosed the illne-ss as being caused by his own comp>ny and how after reporting this to his company they told him to stop his investigation and say nothing. It is the story of how, for ten years this doctor kept silent while the company proclaimed its innocence from any wrongdoing, and even persuaded a government committee to keep quiet when the committee came to the same conclusion as the doctor. But most important, it is a story about how the villagers united dnd declared war on the company; and how other villages supported them and raised money in order to buy the victims of the poisoning shares in the company, and how enough villagers bought shares and went to the annual shareholders meeting with a container of mercury-poison-

ed water and ,demanded that the -chairman of the board “Drink the Mercury”. After a cancellation of the scheduled performance, Jan. the Young Peoples 30, Theatre of Toronto performed their play Drink the Mercury last Saturday in the Humanities Theatre. Unfortunately, due to the rescheduling or for other reasons, the play did not attract a large audience. This is unfortunate because the play is perhaps the most powerful play that has been presented in the childrens imagination series. It is certainly the strongest example of a play used to present a socialpolitical comment. The acting company obviously .felt that a pre-teen audience was fair ‘game for some fairly heavy consciousness-raising. The death of nine year old Yoka, who the day before her death told reporters that she wanted to get better And ride on a ship over the sea, was very powerful, as was the scene in which a father told of the torment his son was gc,ing through as a result of the mercury poisoning and how his son had tried three times to commit suicide; one time- he failed only because the rope broke. The production of the play was extremely competent, due to the fact that the actors appeared to be totally committed to this type of theatre and particularly committed to the problem of mercury and other environmental pollutants. One way to gauge how successful a production has been is to look at how the various parts of the play fit together or blend together. In a weak pro-

Mummenschanz = Mind candy. That says it so well that I’m tempted to stop here. Mum. menschanz is a Swiss mime, a . mask troupe; you may have seen them on television. They appeared in person at the Center in the Square two weeks ago. So, were they good? They were. _ The first part of the evening was (loosely) the evolution of life on earth. A simple set - a box with three ramps leading up it - and a single cell. (You know that there’s a human being in there, but how does it work? It tipparently defies gravity in clambering up the side of the box.) It. was ‘evolution only in the sense that the. \. things. , . depicted became more complex. There was this flower-thing, with a big balloon as the bloom, and it kept shooting its head off, into the audience. The audience was co-operative; they threw it back. Perhaps I could sum up the evening that way: the audience was small but co-operative. But wait. The first act was so technitally superb that it detracted from the mime. All about me _people were saying, “How do they do that ?” It took away from the fact that this section

was actually too slow. I%ster would have been better. There was an unexpected pleasure during intermission: the three members of Mummenschanz split up and made faces at us. They were wearing black boxes over their heads, and they made faces on them. Very fun. The second half of the show was,! think, the more successful. This was almost exclusively mask work+nd again, it was a show of technical expertise. They are very talented; they are very good with the masks. Masks with toilet paper rolls for eyes, ears, nose and mouth; masks with notepads so that the expressions can change (rip off a sheet of notepaper and a new eye is beneath); masks that blow bubbles. Occasionally, there was a pale blush of social commentary, like when the two people with faces made of blocks played checkers (on one’s face, of course) to gain control of the blocks.’ The evening ended with a duel of.putty faces. Each wore a mouldable mask and it’s really difficult to describe imagine a duel between chameleons. They got a standing ovation. Cotton candy - what do yo have left after.you’ve eaten it?

At the end of the play the acting company came out on stage and answered questions about their play and mercury poisoning in particular. There were several questions, but the actors could have been’a bit more,prepared for some of

the questions that related to the technical aspects of mercury poisoning. However that is a minor point compared to the overall production. Randy Hannigan

Dan Hill’s repertoire is no longer limited to explications of the nuances of sexual desire, yet Hill’s new songs are still love songs since they all try to interpret the emotion that unravels in any meaningful relationship, any’ feeling that results from one human being caring for another. There were many new songs in Hill’s selection Tuesday night but his greatest hits category was still well represented. He started his two set, two hour performance with Don’t Giue Up On Love and ended withHold On and yes, he did sing Sometimes When We Touch. The new material was interesting; the grown up boy was looking beyond his libido to less immediate, but still very personal., concerns. He sang for a survivor of Vietnam who had to fight a war of politics after fighting a war of blood; he sang for a ’ lady of 75 who wanted to commit suicide and he sang about the dilemma facing young musicians facing their parents with the decision that they actually want to do their “hobby” for a living. Hill made his music with the help of guitarist David Whipper and pianist John Sheard. Sheard sat quietly behind his Fender Rhodes or his grand piano all night, opening his mouth only to provide a backing vocal or to pester Hill about the tuning of his guitars.

Theatre of The Arts stage March 18 through March 20. The story is based onthelife and legend-of Simon Girty, the “White Indian’:. Girty was one of the early Loyalist settlers in Upper Canada.-As an agent for the British Indian Department, he led raids against the American settlements in Kentucky. and the Ohio Valley during and after the Revolutionary War, and so becameone of the most feared and hated figures in American his&y. , In the play, Girty is a blind old drunkard near the end of a long and violent life. He struggles with his conscience and bloody reputation, while straddling the two worlds of fact and legend. Figures from his past voice their opinions of him, confront him, and force him to relive the most horrifying moments of his career. As the title suggests, the play dramatizes not only an historical figure, but his unenviable “fame”. The evolution of legend is as important here as is the main character himself. Perspective and conjecture are shown as major factors in determining ultima& blame for wartime atrocities. Was Girty a war criminal, or a victim \ of circumstances? .

he was glad to be performing after a year’sabsence from the stage (he used the time to record an album and learn piano) and his mid-teen to midtwenties audience seemed completely satisfied with his return, demanding two encores after a full two hours of music to make the concert a success on both sides of the stage.

Aspiring writers from across the University of Waterloo campus assembled last week to read. samples of their poetry and prose. After helping myself to a chocolate doughnut and a cup of coffee, I took my seat alongside the other listeners. Steno pad balanced on my knee and pen poised, I glanced about. and noticed that the room was full. Pleased that I had chosen such an obviously popular event to cover, I turned my attention to the podium. ,

Harold Horwood, the University’s writer in residence and probable mentor.for the writers was seated to one side. During the course of .the readings he introduced several of the writers. A respected

memeber of the English Society introduced the “Forum of Student Writers”‘and some of the writers themselves. Each .of the participants has already had work published; many in New Quarterly. Several of the writers have also been attending the Creative Writing Workshop that is put on by the Integrated Studies program. The first writer to approach the lectern was Judy Butterworth, a philosophy student with a knack for writing. Even though she was the first person to read, Judy did not portray any nervousness. She calmly provided the audience with a pleasant combination of intense poetry and a fascinating&short story about a girl who had a bizarre telephone conversation.

Next, the audience heard from George Elliott Clarke. Despite the fact that he was reading on anemptystomach, George launched energetically into his selected poems and spewed forth a torrent of vivid imagery. I could hardly keep up with him! He covered a variety of topics including platonic love and incest. The manner in which he dealt with these subjects was assured, bold and extremely entertaining. After George, Josee Duffues had the floor. Stating humbly that George’s act would be tough to follow, the writer, student and mother proceeded to put on her own impressive act. Her writing is deep, insightful and sensitive, and it effectively conveys a diversity of intense feelings. Next, Harold Horwood introduced Wayne Hughes. He stated that Wayne is the most talented undergraduate that he has ever met. I must admit that I was curious to hear what kind of writing was worthy of such glowing praise, and I was not in suspense for long. After hearing poems entitled Bezerk, Yogurt Spirits and One More Time my Dear, I concluded that the writing had to be highly imaginative. That of Wayne Hughes is also vibrant and unconventional, presenting various topics from interesting perspectives. Frank Klassen stood behind the ‘podium next and in his singular voice confidently presented the audience with his works. His writing is powerful and vital, and at times ‘also unorthodox. Yet that is part of its distinctness. Especially the last piece that Frank read possessed this quality. He revealed that it was written at an odd hour of the morning and hence its uniqueness. After Frank, it was Allison Knight’s turn to read. The audience had been warned that Allison wrote very short poetry, but that it wasexpanding. Allison did indeed read various short poems, including a Haiku (A Japanese 3-line poem). Despite their brevity, the poems contain an unmistakable charm. They are sincere and pictorial, and the longer poems. do not lose this trait. The last writer toshare her work was Dona Massel. A mature part-time student, Dona writes prose and poetry. Some ‘of it is perceptive, sympathetic and profound, while some is carefree, energetic and enlightening. No matter which type Dona read, every sample was good. Even though Dona requested no applause until the end, the audience could not resist clapping after a few especially enjoyable pieces, I was very impressed by these talented writers and their vital and inspiring work. That they take time beside their studies to create lasting expressions of themselves is particularly admirable. They deserve as much support as their fellow students at the University can give them. I myself am going to watch for the names of these writers in the future, and if another “Forum of Student Writers” takes place, I will be present. ReneeSander.

Doug Bennett of Doug and the Slugs talked to me-from ‘ancouver, as the band was about to embark on a /e&thy tour jroughout Canada and the States.

: 1:

It was sort of a desire to perform, I guess. . . always being at parties, always being in the corner, being the funny man .-. . and I decided to stop giving it away for free and began writing songs and started a band. Then I started charging people for it. It’s a much better business that way. I think it was just - it-was always a hobby. I picked up a guitar at the age of 18. . . as it turned out, i was getting what I thought better and betterandbetterat what 1wasdoingan.d liking-graphic arts less and less, and just one overtook the other. So I made the decision to change careers. But if you were to returnto the graphic arts business, what wou!d you bring back in the way of experience? An understanding of business. It’s surprising, when I was working for myself in graphic arts, I tended to be a little bit lazy, only working when Ineeded money. When I have eight other people to be responsible for, in terms of drawing money to pay everybody and expenses, I tend to work a little harder. You discipline yourself when there’s more people waiting for you. Are you still managing yourself, or do you have someone doing that for you now? Yeah, now I’ve shifted purely into the area of doing theconcepts . . . We’re generating enough money that we can afford to have people actuallydoing the booking. Joe Jackson does the road managing like the booking, the hotels, etc. etc. But I can sit down with a memo’and talk about concept and general direction. It frees me for more time to concentrate on album graphics and getting the public image side. Do you find that a more rewarding role? It&, just because there’s less details to concern yourself with. At one point I found I was spending all the time on the phone. It took you away from the job you should be doing, and that’s writing the music. When does the latest tour start? _ They’re giving us three days up here at Whistler just to warm up to the Prairies’freezing nut-crushingcoldand then we’ll start the actual tour March 1st. Nine weeks of toil and whatever through Ontario. Where do you get a lot of your inspiration? 1 get it from the songs I listen to; I get it from just talking with people or seeing bands. You can never put your finger on where you get it exactly for whatever particular song. The

What has kept you going since then? I guess the desire to get out,of debt. The band is primarily a working band and that means you have bills, thereare band wives breathing down their necks to “make more money, make more money . . .” So it just becomes a thing of feed yourself and try to pay the rent. Anything above that is the artistic gravy. It is important but it’s not as important as I: Fqr example, the single Partly From Pressure, where would paying the bills. that come from? I: Is there.a different attitude to your stuff down in the States than you find in Canada? D: I was a little disapppointed in that song if only in the sense D: There’s, I would say, a more open attitude. In Canada that I was a bit too derivative. Of all the songson thealbum I there’s a great East-West sort of rivalry, so once you hit think we didn’t work on that one enough to give it our own New York or that they think that Vancouver is just north of particular feel, I think because we werecomingnear theend the state capitol. So they’re more wide open, there’s not this of the album. I just whipped out the song, we had so much Canadianstigma. They either like the music or they don’t. fundoingit . . . we should have tempered it more so it would And so far where we’ve played in the States - New York, have been less of that Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen feel to Boston, Philadelphia, etc. - only Pittsburgh didn’t like us. it. It still would have been a good song, but it would have I: Would you suggest the route you’ve taken to other newbeen more our particular feel. So when we do it live it’s got comers? If so, why? more of a Slugs feel to it.

Stepping through the door opened by the German/ British techno-rockers of the mid seventies is probably the most innovative “new” group to come out of Liverpool since that other band. Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Da?k, the latest craze in the electronic pop music scene, graced the somewhat remote Bingeman Park venue for the second time this year. Apparently, word was passed after last year’s smash hit that an OMD concert was not to be missed as a near capacity crowd jammed the reworked roller skating rink. A mediocre act at best, Boys Brigade opened the show with loud, unrestrained distortion. After the Brigade’s mercifully short set the lads finally made the

Friday,-March

The fact of the &matter is - no. TheatreMany members of the Theatresports sports introduced the “best serious scene’? audience show up consistently to see their old favourite performers, but the infusion of new competition. I hope/they keep this up. Each blood introduced an element of suspense as team’s attempt was interesting in its own way. The Euripides team effort was more in the the viewers looked forward to seeing what the nature of “best scene with a straight face”and new people could do. went far towards proving that only the They could do a lot. Especially memorable was the “best MacKenzie Brothers scene” audience has to be happy; but the Rookies” scene was far superior and if their example is with Barna and Cook. They captured the accents and the spirit very well, and managed taken to heart by the Theatresports players, to make this by-now stale routine come back I to life. e However, the aspect of last Friday’s game I wish to comment about is this. It is not necessarily true that theatre must have a message, though it is clearly desirable. If you are going to play a scene, be it comedy, tragedy or a love scene, since the scene is inevitably The University of Waterloo drama Departdrawn from real life, it could also make a ment presents, as its major production of the comment on life, Winter 1982 season, Engaged, a romantic Theatresports commonly lacks this.

I could be wrong about the importance of this Imagine a handsome young hero with one aspect of theatre) and, hell, they’re there to have fun. For that matter so is the audience. small flaw: he falls in love with and proposes to No one is looking for a serious social message. every beautiful girl he meets.

Yet how long can one watch a show that is * altar.. Bring the group together through the agency of a poor but honest Scottish lad who pure - and only - comedy? It may be funny as makes his living derailing trains, and you hell (usually is) but is this the end?

The regular Friday night Theatresports game came off even more successfully than is usual, due to a sudden influx of new, creative actors and the introduction of a new game. Theatresports is improvisational acting within the framework of “games”. Two teams compete for points awarded .by three judges. “Linda and the Rookies” beat “Euripides and the Three Short Tragedies” 73-58. The Rookies - Tern Barna (named Most Valuable Player), Hugh John Cook III, Ronald M. Green and Rob-Lee, lead by veteran Theatresports player Linda Carson were so named because for all of them but Linda this was their first game. Barna had, two weeks before this game, been a simple member of the audience. The Theatresports veterans - Roberta Carter, I&n Chaprin, Linda Ryall and Bernie Roehlput up’s good fight but couldn’t keep up with the Rookies. The mood ,of the audience was dimmed somewhat when it was announced that this wasto be-the John Belushi Memorial Match, as Belushi had been found dead earlier that day. Things picked up quickly however, and the show grew funnier and funnier. Of special note were the “Space Jump” scene (it has nothing. to do with science fiction, unfortunately) in which Ryall played an old but drug-crazed woman; “Die”, which tied between Carson and Chaprin; and the “Best Sideways Scene” in which the rear wall becomes the floor and the actors have to stand up before the audience in, order to “lie down” in t& scene. This leads to scenes in bed.

some progress ‘will have been made towards giving Theatresports some degree of impact deeper than being “just funny”. To belabour the point would be gratuitous; however, if Theatresports would occasionally’ attempt scenes with potential for achieving ‘meaning and sincerity, as this one did, the actors and the audience both would be richer. It goes to prove that these people have more to offer than just laughs. John W. Bast ,
