Friday, June 17,1983 -

Students denied discount by don button Imprint staff On Monday, June 20that 7p.m., Kitchener Council will holda regular council meeting, and on the agenda will be the issue of four month bus passes for Kitchener-Waterloo university and college students.

The Federation of Students have been actively approaching Kitchener council for the last three years, and well-researched, thorough work by past-president, Wim Simonis, led to a final presentation

by Fed president Tom .Allison. The Kitchener transit advisory committee decided to recommend adoption of the reduction plan to the Kitchener finance committee.

The fare reduction for four month passes, $97 instead of the regular $116, was turned down by the finance committee for reasons that included their belief that university and college students were “transients” and that they were from well-to-do families. Statements to this effect from Alderman Don Travers and Will Ferguson created quite a stir in the Federation of Students offices. Not only were Federation officials upset about the statements, but Fed President, Tom Allison, was also not happy about the fact that he was not called and had to learn of the decision through the Kitchener-.Waterloo Record.

Waterloo Alderman, Glen Wright, is a member of the Kitchener Transit advisory committee, and was “surprised and disappointed by the finance committee’s decision.”

Wright also said that the comments by Ferguson and Travers reflected a bizarre attitude, and that they obviously “have no idea of the importance of the universities and colleges” and that they “clearly demonstrated their lack of knowledge of university life and university students.”

Wright maintains that the two universities are one of the strongest assets of the twin cities, and that students of these universities have been “very good citizens in Waterloo” and that they are “a very positive influence on the community”.

Alderman Wright wasalso quick to point out that he thought it

Activities

all set for

by Corinne Dixon Imprint, staff Waterloo’s 16th annual Waterloo Day’s summer festival will be held this weekend. Various sites in and around Waterloo Park will be offering a range of events for all ages.

The Western Ontario Regional Swimming Championships, to be held at the Wilfrid Laurier Physical Activities Complex, begin on Fridav, June 17th, and run through to Sunday. Five hundred contestants will be competing for regional awards.

Also running all w%kend is the 12th Annual Waterloo Days’ Derby. Children under fourteen will be awarded prizes for the largest catches from the Laurel Creek Waters&d.

was unfair to single out the opinions of Ferguson and Travers, saying, “That attitude does not reflect the attitude of the local political community, or the attitude of the Kitchener-Waterloo community.”

Kitchener Mayor, Dom Cardillo, thought that the comments of Ferguson and Travers were, “uncalled for, and unfortunate.”

In a telephone interview, Cardillo asserted that he was personally in favour of the rate reduction for university and college students because “the money they put in the economy, and the positive things they do for the community makes it worth it.”

UW spokesman, Jack Adams, said that UW and WLU students spend $17.3 million annually in the local community.

In addition, he estimates they donate between $40,000 and $50,000 and a lot of blood to local charities.

Cardillo alsoadded that he was wellaware ofthefact that “they don’t have a bottomless well of dollars.”

Of the proposal’s chances at Monday’s council meeting, Cardillo said that he “expects it will go through.”

For Federation of Students President, Tom Allison, that would be good news. He, like Wim Simonis befbre him, has worked hard on the issueand waselated when they got more than the previous flat refusals from the Kitchener Transit advisory committee last March.

With both Cardillo and Wright assuring that thecomments by Ferguson and_Travers are not reflective of Kitchener-Waterloo’s attitude towards local university and college students, some of the damage done by the remarks from the aldermen will be undone.

But not all of it. Federation officials were offended about being referred to as transients, and expected that students would be as well, in addition to being shocked at being told that they were welloff financially.

It is too soon to tell where all this will lead to, but Monday’ night’s council meeting should offer an indication. The meeting, in Kitchener’s City Hall, is open to the public.

Various Waterloo sports leagues, such as Slo Pitch, minor Girl’s Softball, Boy’s Softball, and Boy’s and Girl’s Soccer, will be playing all weekend. Some of these games are part of a fund raising event, while the Minor Girl’s Softball games are divisional playoffs. Featured softball action occurs on Friday when the Waterloo Athletics and Central Warriors play at Seagram Stadium. There is a minimal admission charge.

Highlighting the festival will be the Gilbert and Sullivan production of “Iolanthe”, playing Friday and Saturday nights at the Humanities Theatre. An excerpt from this sparkling comedy will also be presented on Saturday afternoon in Waterloo Park.

Most of the events have no admission charge. Between noon and 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday there will be aninformation booth set up beside the Old Log School Housein Waterloo Park.

Waterloo Days, chiefly organized by the Waterloo Community Services, is destined to be a success, providing the weather gives a break. Tom Litwiller, Program Supervisor, told Imprint in a letter that over 6,600 participants have already signed up for the various events.

BC poet third writer to reside here for year On Tuesday, June 7 th, and again last Monday, copies of an unsigned open letter appeared at various locations on campus stapled or tacked to Bent posters promoting last night’s Modern English concert.

Following a tip, Imprint contacted Cal Weber, Director of the Maranatha Christian Centre.

In a telephone interview, Weber stated that “The group didn’t officially do it. I know that.“He alsosaid that “The groupdoesn’t tell its members what to do.”

On further questioning, Weber admitted that, “I do know some of the people who did it.” He also said that those people are members of the Maranatha Christian Centre, but would not name them.

Imprint is interested in any on-campus activity that could involve legal digressions, and for that reason, anyone with information on this, or similar incidents, is asked to contact the Imprint editor.

British Columbia poet SUsari Musgrave is to be U W’S writer-in-residence for 198384, it was announced last week.

Dr. Judith Miller of Renison College, a member of the committee which arranges for the writer-in-residence each year, said Musgrave will be at Waterloo from the beginning of the fall term until April or May. She will be available, Miller said, to talk to individual writers and would-be writers about their work, and to speak

to classes and other groups.

Miller said she also has hopes of organizing more or less regular readings or meet-thewriter sessions.

Susan Musgrave is best known for her dark and mystical poetry, but is also the author of a recent novel, The Charcoal Burners.

She will be the third tiriterin-residence at UW, and the first to be known primarilyasa poet. Her predecessors were novelists Harold Horwood and Graeme Gibson.

by don button Imprint staff Securing University of Waterloo’s stature in North America is a bigconcernto University administrators, and nobody will loom any bigger in this undertaking than U W’s Liaison and Publication Officer, Steve Little.

Little’s chief function is the marketing of UW to high schools and high school students; something that Little describes as being “both very easy and very hard.”

He went on to explain that the lJniversity attracts people because of its quality, which makes his job easier when dealing with people that know what they want and are confident about their abilities to meet the tough standards at UW. Problems arise though, when dealing with high school students who think that either U W is only a math and computer or engineering school, or that they can’t handle what they perceive to be too tough standards.

Little agrees with- t-he University’s tough standards, remarking that “tough standards mean higher quality graduate;” He is concerned that some kids remove themselves from the admission process because they don’t think they are good enough and feels that“that is one of the big challenges of the job.”

“UW is very, very dynamic and it is therefore quite a challenge to pr,esent it because things are always changing.

I get tremendous personal satisfaction out of my job because of this,” he admitted.

In his fourteen years here, Little has seen the University undergo much growth and must Continually update himself with University happenings in order that he may accurately promote U W. A graduate of Wilfrid Laurier, Little left his job as a Laurier admissions officer to come to UW because he “wanted to make a career out of university administration, and UW seemed like the place to do it.”

Steve Little obviously enjoys his job. He finds that, unlike some institutions, Uws attitude tends to be ‘New idea? Sure, let’s tryit’instead of‘New idea? Well, we’ll have to check on that’. He frequently sings University of Waterloo’s praise, and feels that, “It is my prediction that some of the future leaders in Canada are going to be UW grads.”

The forty year old Little lives with his wife of 15 years and their eleven year old daughter in a house in Waterloo that he designed himself. His future at the University would seem to be secure: he loves his job and is very good at it.

Little feels that it “will be a great challenge to meet the changing role of universities in the second half of this decade.”

He is looking forward to this challenge, as well as to the constant battle of keeping up with what the University is going to be doing next.

- Steve Little has come a long way in university life since he enrolled at Laurier in the mid sixties. He graduated in 1967 with a degree in sociology and psychology, and is a past president of Laurier’s student government.

And he has still more he wants todo. He’d like to survey and compare University of Waterloo’s students’ perceitions of the various programs with faculty perceptior& and survey and compare perceptions of first year students with those of graduates. Little would also like todevelopa common Orientation program, although he credits the Federation of Students Information HIandbook as being “one of the best on-campus publications there is.”

And of course, although he has been very successful at his job, he still feels he can improve his efforts.

University of Waterloo was the first Ontario university to havea liaisonand publications officer. With Steve Little filling the position, UW also has one of the best.

~Edttorial Students- &led On Monday, June 13th, Kitchener council’s finance committee voted not to accept the recommendation from the Kitchener transit advisory committee that area university and college students be allowed to ride the city’s buses at a reduced rate when purchasing four month passes.

After ten years of negotiation with Kitchener council on this issue, the Federation of Students finally received more than a flat refusal when Kitcheners transit advisory committee decided to allow a $19 reduction over the four month period.

Aldermen on the finance committee decided that university and college students should not get the rate break because, according to aldermen Don Travers and Will Ferguson, they were “transients” and because they came from well-to-do families.

The generalization that students came from wellto-do familes would seem to be a clear indication of _ the perspective of the two committee members.

Frequently criticized for being out of touch with their constituents, politicians will have a hard time denouncing that presumption when coming out with remarks like that.

I have no statistics available on student standards - of living, or costs of living or income, but it would be a fair bet to assume that students are no better off, if not worse off, than most of society.

And while they may or may not have money to burn, university students spend three to six or seven years at school and can therefore hardly be called “transients”.

Does this mean that Kitchener council views anyone living in the city for less than seven years as a transient?

In addition to the finance committee’s obvious lack of insight and common sense, the choice of wording by the two aldermen leaves ajot to be

transients desired.

To most people, the word ‘transient’ is a derogatory term applied to persons of dubious stature and with questionable values.

At this time, senior citizens and high school students are the only ones who travel at reduced fares on Kitchener Transit.

While such discounts are often necessary for senior citizens living at, or below, the poverty level on government pensions, it would seem that high school students need a discount less than university and college students who rely on parental handouts, government loans, or part time jobs to support their schooling and to set up housekeeping in a strange town.

On the public relations side, Ferguson and Travers leave a lot to be desired.

University of Waterloo students are frequently involved in community events and charities, as well as adding to the local economy.

Weferring to them as transients, and implying that they are in an enviable financial situation can only damage the goodwill necessary . between a city and its university.

It is unfortunate that Ferguson and Travers can’t see past the end of a meeting.

If they could, they would realize that the city and the University could benefit from each other, and not only on the ledger sheets.

Instead, they see college and university students as inferior, semi-citizens.

Luckily for the two aldermen, they are Kitchener aldermen and therefore removed from the majority of student votes in municipal elections.

But they are not removed from student influence, and University of Waterloo students are urged not to follow the ’ trend of apathy in today’s’ universities, and attend the Monday night council meeting to air their views.

The June 20th meeting is at Kitchener’s City Hall at 7 p.m., and the bus fare reduction proposal will be on the agenda. don button

petitionsprotesting against

send a personal reply to all those who had expressed their concerns to me, I gave a public response when I spoke last month at a dinner in honour of Vice-president George Bush.

Because this whole question continues to weight heavily upon the consciences of those in government and the general public, I have now decided to address myself directly to Canadians through this open letter. My purpose is to explain the position of the Government of Canada on the testing of the cruise missile, and on the broader issue of disarmament.

By way of a preamble, let me point out that our freedom to discuss and argue issues is what gives to our democracy its greatness and its strength; but that same freedom can also make us appear vulnerable in the face of Soviet totalitarianism.

In recent years, the Soviet Union has deployed hundreds of new SS-20 missiles, each equipped with three nuclear warheads, capable of reaching all the great cities of western Europe.

However, there has not been any significant outburst of public opposition, either inside or outside the USSR. That the Soviet people have not protested against this action of their leaders surprises no one. What is surprising, however, is that those in the West who are opposed to new nuclear weapons have remained relatively silent about the installation of the SS20s. In contrast, th%y are now taking to the streets to oppose the possible deployment of American Pershing II and cruise missiles to protect Europe against the Soviet nuclear threat.

What is particularly surprising in Canada is to see protesters opposing the possible testing of cruise missiles in Canadian territory, but not opposing the fact that similar missiles are already being tested in the Soviet Union, as was confirmed in December by General-Secretary Andropov.

Because people in the free world feel powerless to influence the leaders of the USSR, there is a great temptation to direct the whole force of their anguish and their protests against the only decision-makers who are sensitive to public opinion, namely the leaders of the democratic countries.

Having convinced themselves that it is useless todenounce the SS-2Os, people find it easier, I suppose, to forget about them. The strange result of this forgetfulness is that it somehow becomes possible to portray the Soviet Union not as the aggressor, but as the innocent target.

This represents a curiousamnesiaand reversalof roles, which the Soviet leaders are quick to exploit for their own purposes.

They hope, obviously, sided protests, will lead West. Indeed, there is a Europe which has already

that one-sided information, and oneto the unilateral disarmament of the segment of public opinion in western adopted that policy.

on Cruise, disarmament During the first spedial session on disarmament at the United Nations, I proposed, in the name of Canada, a strategy of s $ffocation. It was designed to smother, even in the laboratory, the ‘development of any new nuclear weapons systems.

Obviously, my proposal had to apply to both sides or to neither.

There was certainly no suggestion in that proposal that the West should disarm unilaterally.

Because our strategy of suffocation was rejected by the Soviet Union, as evidenced by the continued deployment of the SS-2Os, a weapon much superior to the SS-4 and 5, there was no question of urging its acceptance by the NATO countries alone. That is why we allied ourselves with the two-track strategy of our NATO partners. Those two tracks are to seek to negotiate the removal of the Soviet SS-2Os, and at the same time, to prepare-for the deployment of new American missiles in Europe so as to pressure the Soviet Union toward serious negotiations, and so as not to leave our European allies in a vulnerable position, if the negotiations on intermediate range nuclear forces ended in failure.

Having declared our support for the two-track strategy, Canada should bear its fair share of the burden which that policy imposes upon the NATO alliance.

It is hardly fair to rely on the Americans to protect the West, but to refuse to lend them a hand when the going gets rough. In that sense, the anti-Americanism of some Canadians verges on hypocrisy.

They’re eager to take refuge under the American umbrella, but don’t want to help hold it.

When we seek to apply moral principles to this issue, it’s easy to become trapped in positions which are either too complex or too simple. The former can paralyze us. The latter can deceive us.

Into the trap of over-complication fall those who insist that no moral position is valid which does not take into account every possible future breakthrough in nuclear weapons technology, every possible future difficulty in detecting the actions of the other side. Into the trap of over-simplification fall those who are content to talk about how many bowls of ricecould be purchased for the price of a missile, or who condemn governments for spending anything at all on defence.

I do not deny that there is an elementoftruthand validityinan unconditionally pacifist position. I simply say that it is simplistic to ignore the real, complex, and often immoral world to which our moral choices must apply. The Pope himself recognized this fact in a message he sent last June to the second United Nations special session on disarmament.

“In current conditions”, he wrote, “deterrence based on balance, certainly not as an end in itself, but as a step towards a progressive disarmament, may still be judged morally acceptable.”

I believe that the Soviet peoplesdesire peacejustas muchas the peoples of the free world. But I also know that the Soviets are very

heavily armed. In these circumstances, it would be almost suicidal for the West to adopt a policy of suffocating the development of new means of defending ourselves against the Soviet SS-20s. That is the kind of heroic moral choice whichan individual could make in his personal life, but does anyone have the right to impose that choice upon a whole nation, or upon the community of free countries?

When the choice is between steadfastness or weakness in the face of totalitarianism, history should have taught us that to refuse to risk one’s life in defence of liberty is to risk losing liberty, without any guarantee of saving one’s life.

That is why the Government of Canada has chosen, not without anguish or full awareness of the risk, to join our NATO partners in adopting a policy of strength in reaction to the Soviet Union.

In supporting the two-track strategy of the Atlantic alliance, however, we shall insist that progress be made simultaneously on both tracks. This combination of steadfastness of purpose and-willingness to negotiate seems to be bearing fruit, as witness the latest offer of General-Secretary Andropov to take into account the numbers of warheads as well as missiles.

Indeed, are we to think that this new-found flexibility of Mr. Andropov is a straightforward show of goodwill? Are we to believe seriously that, on two occasions since last December, the Soviets would have contemplated publicly a reduction of their nuclear forces if we had weakened our resolve?

To me, the answer is clear. And it is absolutely essential that the United States continue their efforts to negotiate the removal of the SS-20s in exchange for the non-deployment of new American missiles in Europe, or at least to negotiate smaller numbers of missiles on each side.

I hope that my explanation of our policy will have established that, were we to agree to collaborate in testing the guidance system of the Cruise missile, it would be because of our solidarity with the other Western democracies, in a world which has turned a deaf ear to our suggested strategy of suffocation.

That being said, however, I would add that we should not abandon hope for the ending of the nuclear arms race.

All the people of the world, whether they befriends or enemies, value their own lives, and the lives of those they love. If the discovery of the terrible secrets of the atom gives us the power to destroy the whole planet, there is a still more powerful force which can save it - our love for our children, and our love of life.

Therefore, I shall continue to believe that our strategy of suffocation is the best strategy.

The great powers of the world refuse to accept it now. But that will not stop us from repeating our proposal at every opportunity,he recognition of its truth frees us all from moral anguish and from fear.

prestige

by Leo McNeil Imprint staff Newly elected Progressive Conservative national leader, Brian Mulroney, had nothing good to say about present government policies at a meeting with party faithful in Kitchener recently.

Introduced

by Jon Dellandrea as a “friend of higher education”, Mulroney, one of the three honorary chairmen of U W’s Watfund Campaign, addressed more than 400 guests and local dignitaries at a Confederation Club luncheon May 26.

Blaming Canada’s lack of research and development (R&D) funding on incompetent government policies, Mulroney said Canadian productivity is anaemic among western nations.

He told those present that Ireland and Iceland are the only two nations spending less on R&D than is Canada.

“One West German company, Siemans, spent more on R&D last year than our entire country combined,” he said.

Adding a note of optimism, Mulroney said that one million jobs generating $20 billion in world trade could be created if R&D fu’nding was doubled - bringing it to one percent of Canada’s Gross National Product.

Mulroney then questioned how the present government could provide employment for university graduates with two million people unemployed; many of whom are from universities.

In regard to tuition fee hikes for foreign students, Mulroney was emphatic in saying that “Universities should be the last place to be hit by high prices”.

To encourage greater multiculturalism among Canadian universities, Mulroney wants such institutions‘ to be more cosmopolitan.

“Different culture grouns would be the best way to allow this,” he said, “and univ&siti’es should continue to be areas of free thought because that helps a country develop.” He promised that if elected he would encourage such situations to develop at Canadian universities.

To make Canada a reliable partner in the world economy once again, Mulroney would make Canada a stronger economic ally Fed of the United States. He referred to the present balance of trade between the two nations.

Citing Canada’s uniqueness as an Anglo/ French nation, Mulroney said, “Commonwealth ties could be easily

NY1 ons remember

by Terry Bolton Imprint staff With two gold records to their credit, it is no wonder that The Nylons packed the Ontario Place Forum to capacity. All they had to do was walk onto the stage and the crowd started to cheer.

The crowd was a mixture of old fans, and those who were seeing the a cappella quartet for the first time. The ones that were veteran Nylon concert goers had no trouble guessing which song was next upon hearing the spoken lead-up. Everyone else was happy to hear most of the songs they knew from the group’s two albums. Dressed in pink suits and purple silk shirts, The Nylons treated everyone to a vocal smoragasbord.

There was song, dance, jokes, stories and generally a good time by both the performers and the appreciative crowd.

Having a good time while they are entertaining is one of the prime aims of The Nylons.

With all the trouble that is in the world these days, these four men like to spread a little joy and happiness around. It is this driving force that enables them to always be up for a show.

Even though they’ve been singing some of the same songs for five years, they haven’t tired of singing them, and the audience still wanted to

roots

hear them. Prince of Darkness is one of their newer songs which exemplifies their philosophy. It is a song that talks about hope for the world, as in the thought, “We can make it if we want to.”

For those people who caught The Nylons when they were at the HumanitiesTheatre last January, their Ontario Place show was essentially the same. They did the same songs, same jokes, and used the same special effects.

One difference was that they did one long set instead of two shorter sets. This gave the impression that they sang more, but really the one set was shorter than their shorter two sets combined.

Also missing from their current repetoir was the spot where they turned up the lights to let the audience ask questions. It could be that they only do this when they have a smaller crowd.

Even though they concentrated more on the songs from their secondalbum, One SizeFits All, it was the songs from their debut album, The Nylons, that drew the biggest respon-ses from the audience. The pseudo-biographical Up On The Roof, written by Carole King in the early sixties, was the cause of the first standing ovation. The two other songs which caused

NUCLEAR ARMS: A DEFENSE An examination of the deadly fallacies - both military and idealogical - of the nuclear freeze movement.

Why is it that some bands, upon releasing their first singles, appear to be the Next Big Thing, only to fade away after the disastrous release of an album? The reasons are many, but often enough a group proves more adept at creating the sound of a single as opposed to crafting an album.

With Sympathy, Ministry’s first LP, is, as albums go, well produced. It is musically more than competent, and lyrically is one step above the regular pop sludge oozing out of AM and FM radio stations.

But, not unlike the Associates (circa the Sulk LP) or Soft Cell or (even - horrors!)

- The Human League, Ministry’s talents like in a field that the traditional consumer commodity of the Long

Flashdance

by Terry Bolton imprint staff Original

Flashdance Soundtrack from the Motion Picture Casablanca

Both Flashdance the movie, and Flashdance the album have just been released.

Both have the potential to do very well.

Movie director Adrian Lyne explains the film in this way; “Flashdance is the story of a young woman wanting something enough that she is able to conquer her fear to achieve that goal.” Basically, the story is about a female welder named Alex (Jennifer Beais), who every night leaves Pittsburgh’s industrial section to try and beco‘me a professional dancer. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it. It seems to be a cross between Fame and Saturday Night Fever (or at least sounds like it from the plot).

The Flashdance soundtrack seems to have a lot going for it. Phil Ramone was the music supervisor and Giorgio Moroder composed the score. Moroder also composed the score for Midnight Express (which won him an Academy Award), worked extensively with Donna Summer and others, and was instrumental in the success of Blondie’s Call Me.

Player, cannot do justice to.

Ministry’s first two singles Cold Life/ I’m Falling, and Work For Love, had the driving ability to reduce all other dance floor favorites to some subordinate position. The LP format minimizes the singles’unique superiority, so that the power of Work For Love’s caustic lyrics, joyous percussion, and workingman’s chorus/advice of “Work.. . for Love.

You’ve got to work for love”, has been greatly reduced.

The ideal situation would have been for Ministry to have released the, majority of thier album tracks as singles. And, as far as singles are concerned, the new U.K. dance bands of the past two years have proven that (Spandau Ballet, Blancmangeand, and Joboxers to name a few) recognition and acclaim can be acquired long before an LP is ever released.

Unfortunately, because of pressure from record companies or Noth American radio channels, many bands become destined to produce An Album, hence Ministry’s With Sympathy.

Although each of the nine tracks would ultimately be more effective played on the bass heavy, loud system of a nightclub, or pampered alone on 12 in. vinyl, Ministry managed to produce an above average example of 80’s keyboard funk.

Hints of Depeche Mode on the cut, Effisv,

DAF on She’s Got A Cause, electronic combos underline Minis ion to the clean, modern dance I Ministry escapes the label of ‘j, electro pop band’ with the hl elements. Ministry’s uniqueness i to the hints of a stronger funk Intuition or Spandau, and main11 Jourgensen’s cleverly biting lyric: to the Orwellian connotations of name, Jourgensen’s words r recount the cynicism born c disappointments and experiences relationships.

songs fun arid peppy Participating in this soundtrack are Irene Cara, Kim Carnes, Donna Summer, Laura Branigan and other lesser-known artists. It is around these big names that the record is basing its appeal. Since all four have had solid top ten hits, their combined drawing power will more than likely assure at least a moderate success for the album.

As in the movie Fame, Irene Cara sings the movie’s themesong. Flashdance . . . What A Feeling is one of the album’s strong points.

Every now and then it is possible to hear similarities between this song and Fame, but this tune is still able to stand on its own. As is the case with most of the songs on this album, Flashdance.. . WhatAFeelingisagreatdance tune. * Interestingly enough,, on this album-LauraBranigan sounds like Donna Summer and Donna Summer sounds like Laura Branigan.

Branigan’s Imagination has a funky beat to it that, when combined with her vocals, sounds a lot like a standard Donna Summer hit song, and is completely different from her last hit song, Gloria. Summer is the one who has picked up where Gloria left off. Her recording of Romeo is a prime example of the current style of popular dance music. It has a solid beat accompanying the synthesizer rhythms and harmonies, overlapped with, running notes from a saxophone. An excellent dance song.

When Kim Carnes sings I’ll Bet The Heart Is, her familiar throaty as prominent.

It still surfaces eve then, but it is much smoother. It is song is a dud. If you see the movi may have more meaning, but as it just another sappy love song.

Geffen Records

(WEA)

Elton John has a new album out that is his best work in years. Could it be due to the fact that he has some of his old buddies working with him again? It couldn’t hurt to have all those responsible for John’s past successes together again.

At the time when the song writing magic of Lennon and McCartney came to an end (1970), an unknown combination of Elton John and Bernie Taupin came up with Your Song. Bythe time 1972 rolled around, Hanky Cat and Rocket Man had made appearances on the record charts. Crocodile Rock firmly established Elton John as a pop star. His career seemed to peak in 1974, when he had three solid hits. 1975 was almost as good, but he was starting to decline. Since that time, Elton John has continued to make records, but none of them have taken the music world by storm.

Too Low For Zero has a little bit for everyone. There are ballads, already one hit single (I’m Still Standing), some guitaroriented rick, a little bit of rock and roll,andan attempt at the new music market. By mixing

also did some other songs just for fun. The three most notable unrecorded songs were This Boy (Beatles), Little Dadinq (Diamonds) and So Much In Love (Timothy BI Smith). .

All things considered, The Nylons always put on a good show. This last one may have missed a spark or two, but was none-the-less still a fine performance.

It doesn’t appear as if they shall return to Ontario Place again this summer, but they will be coming to Waterloo either in the fall or the winter. By that time they should have a few new songs in the line-up to make their performance even more exciting.

For those who are subscribers to the UW Arts Centre 1983/84 HUMdinger season, you may order your tickets now. Everyone else must wait until September 12th when single tickets go on sale. This is also true for the Shaw Festival production of Tom Jones. Any questions regarding the UW Arts Centre HUMdinger season can be directed to the main box office at the University of Waterloo, room 161, Hagey Hall, 885-4280.

Listing of upcoming June Ontario Place Forum concerts were included in the June 3rd issue of Imprint. Wait till the next issue (June 30th for the July listings) or go to Ontario Place and get a schedule for yosuelf . In fat t , if you’re not doing anything tonight, why not head down to the Forumand see Men Without Hats. Then you can always catch Gladys Knight and the Pips either tomorrow afternoon or night.

up the different types of songs on his album, John is taking a gamble. He is hoping that he will appeal to a large variety of listeners; each one liking a different part of the album. This approach, however, could backfire. Insteadof turning people on with a song they like, he could turn them off with all the songs they don’t like.

As is the case with a lot of albums, one side is better than the other. In this case, side one is the superior half. The songs all seem to suit each other, whereas the second side seems like a bunch of songs thrown together tofillout the album.

I’m Still Standing is the first single off the LP. It is getting a lot of airplay on all the top 40 AM radio stations. People will have to decide for themselves whether they like it or not. When I first heard it, I thought it was fine until he started to sing. After that the song went downhill. His voice just didn’t suit the song.

That was my first impression. Now that I’m aw bit more familiar with the song, his voice has become more acceptable.

Mind you, I still haven’t made a final decision whether I like the song or not.

One song on the album stands above all the rest. Cold As Christmas (in the middle of the year) is simply excellent. Even comparing it to his past successes with ballads, this is one’of his best. Trying to convey how the song comes across with words is impossible. You have to hear it, and once you do you’ll know you like.it but won’t be able to say why.

One other song on the album also deserves special mention, Religion. When you hear the music you find that you start to bop along. It is quite easy to get caught up in the fun the song seems to inspire. As for the intent, it is hard to say. Is the song meant as a joke, are the words meant to be taken seriously, or is it just a song which gets you bopping?

Here is a sample of the lyrics from Religion: “She was silent as he paid her/But the thanks she got/Was next to none/And as her car pulled out of the motel/She felt the presence of someone/And that’s when she got religion/In the front of acompact Ford/Just a gentle voice on the stereo/Now she’s a workin’ girl/Who loves the Lord.” Judge for yourself.

The song Crystal starts the second side off, well, but then two tracks with prominant guitars seem slightly out of place. The album then- closes with two ballads, not nearly as good as Cold as Christmas.

The only other interesting item is a harmonica solo by Stevie Wonder on I Guess That’s Why They Cull It The Blues. Listen carefully, it is very easy to miss.

After a series of dismal albums, Too Low- 1 For Zero is a step in the right direction for Elton John. As long as he has his old stand-bys Bernie Taupin, Davey Johnstone, Dee Murray, Nigel Olsson and Kiki Dee (only on Cold As Christmas) working with him, he can’t go too far wrong. Summed up on one word, the album can be said to be satisfying.

QuaLity Iiihks release .not like fad groups, by don button Imprint staff The Kinks

State of Confusion Polygram On May 25th, The Kinks energized a nearcapacity crowd at Maple Leaf Gardens, andall the reviewers save one agreed that it was a great concert.

Similarly, the majority of reviewers have had nothing but good things to say about The Kink’s newest release, State of, Confusion.

One reviewer even went so far as to say that State of Confusion is the best thing The Kinks have done in a decade. Granted, the album is excellent, but the best in a decade accolade is inappropriate and misleading. For .one thing, it implies that State of Confusion is similar to their releases in the past ten years: nothing could be farther from the truth.

The Kinks in the 80’s, at least State of Confusion, have a fresher, cleaner sound than before, and yet lose none of the power that has characterized their music throughout the years. Often described as a band that can out-rock any other, (including other British rockers like the Stones and the Who) straight, driving rock and roll is a rarity on State of Confusion.

They still have that distinctive Kinks sound, but the power now comes from the lyrics and the arrangement instead of from the guitar of Dave Davies. The singing of Ray Davies is, well, still the singing of Ray Davies; although perhaps a little smoother and less forced. Bui the music behind the voice is the key to the 80’s Kink sound. There is more keyboard, backbeating drums are more authoqitative and slower, and Dave Davies manages to keep his ripping lead guitar in check for most of the album - sure, it escapes every once in a while, but it wouldn’t be The Kinks if it didn’t.

I’vebeenabigfanofTheKinksforyears,and I’ll never record over my old Kinks tapes.

Some things they’ve produced over the years have been great, others good, and others not so good. But with that type of music, they are the kings (not the Kings). They will always be remembered for Lola, but more importantly, for the scores of crisp, driving, bitingly satirical. rock and roll releases.

This, however, is a new era in music, and that brand of music is as outdated as is Elvis. I still like to reminisce with older Kinks’ music, but when moving into the ‘8Os, old Kinks’ music simply doesn’t fit. That is why I am so enthupstic about State of Confusion; it fits in the 8Os, and I don’t have to leave The Kinks behind.

The music is certainly not new wave, and I can’t quite see it as dance music, but it does have the freshness and creativity of the new music. The album’s lead track, State of Confusion, is the most disappointing on the

album. It reeks of The Clash, and I dare say people would have a difficult time of separating London Calling era Clash music from State of Confusion’s non-vocal parts.

Definite Maybe and Cliches of the Worldare the closest to following old Kink lyrical philosophies. Ray Davies has always had a flair for satirical social commentary, and has never been better than in these two songs. His comments about the hazards of computers in the hands of bureaucrats in Definite Maybe should be cherished, and his contention that “life is just a cliche” makes one stop and think.

Likewise, his contention that “marriage is just a two-headed transplant” in Labour of Love makes those of us married ones nod in sympathy, while issuing a world of warning to those who aren’t.

Young Conseruatiues is the most alarming song, especially in a university setting.

Ray Davies’contention that universitiesand colleges are the breeding ground for the next generation of conservatives (with a small ‘c’) is supported by the apathetic and selfish trends in today’s post-secondary institutions.

Individually, the songs on the album have more to them than good listening. Ray Davies is a lyrical master, and for the most part, he has never been better. They are amusing songs, and, while not political songs, certainly do make one look at our lives and some of the things we are coll&tively doing.

But albums are not judged on lyrics; most people could care less what a song is about as long as they like it. I see no problem with people liking the musical part of Stateof Confusion.

With the exception of State of Confusion and Come Dan&g, which sounds like something from a Trinidad beach, the sound is virgin: it hasn’t been used before.

It is a great album for people who still admit that rock and roll was a legitimate music form but have found something in the new wave that pales it by comparison.

It is not, however, an album for new wavers who prefer groups with little or no musical experience.

The Kinks are primarily musicians, and State of Confusion is an album with musical merit. Despite their desire to update, their music, the Davies brothers have refused to compromise their musical standards.

The result is a solid, fresh, clean album that is more than a forum for a single. It is an album of the spirit of the Kinks: quality listening, and great value for your entertainment dollar.

State of Confusion cannot be described as their best offering in. over a decade.

Musically, I think it is their best in a long time, but it is different music and the two can’t be compared. Suffice it to say that Kinks fans will not be disappointed, and Kinks fan clubs around the world will probably grow.

Just remember, though, if quality music takes a back seat to the latest fad groups in your collection, State of Confusion won’t fit.

If quality is your desire however, it is a must.

Puzzles featured ,/ to test and view

by Leanne Burkholder Imprint staff Located on the main floor of UW’s Burt Matthews Hall(BMH), the Museum and Archive of Games (Games Museum) is an entertaining collection of game artifacts ranging in age from the ancient to the modern.

The museum was created in 1972 by Dr. Elliot Avedon, based on a collection developed from research and teaching in leisure studies. This collection is the only one of its kind in North America, and has had many homes over the years.

At one time located on Phillip Street in Waterloo, it was originally housed in the Math and Computer building at UW. The museum has a storage area with a reserve collection, and all facilities have equipment to monitor and control temperature, and humidity in order to preserve the artifacts. Presently, acomputerized system for cataloging and managing the museum artifacts and documents is being developed by Dr. Avedon, the head curator of the Games Museum, and his assistant curator, May Tivy.

A great amount of the work in the Games Museum is done “behind thescenes”, accordingto Tivy. Acquiring new, quality artifacts is hard and costly; most of these are borrowed from private collectors and other museums, such as the Royal Ontario Museum, and Doon Pioneer Village. An operating grant is donated by the Provincial Ministry of Citizenship and Culture.

Research on the artifacts is done by the Games Museum staff, with assistance from interested

academics and other museums, often in response to inquiries. For example, the Games Museum is currently helping in leading projects with eight other local museums to establish a computer record of artifacts.

Policy making for the Games Museum is done by a community advisory board, while the Waterloo Heritage Collections Association attends to the museum’s financial and administrative concerns.

“Puzzles” is the theme of the exhibit, which will continue until June 30th. Not only does this exhibit describe the history and manufacturing of jigsaw puzzles, it also includes early map puzzles which were used to teach students geography.

Mathematical topological puzzles borrowed from the Ontario Science Centre, and an elaborate hand carved and painted “Midsummer’s Night Dream” jigsaw puzzle, made by an American puzzlemaker are also on display.

In addition, a variety of other types of puzzles are presented, such as tongrems, construction, word, and positioning puzzles; the latter of which require the user to move the parts in a restricted area to create a final solution. The most famous current example of a positioning puzzle is, of course, the Rubik’s cube. All puzzles can be tested by museum visitors.

Exhibits at the Museum and Archive change periodically.

The museum is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and for groups in the evening and weekends by appointment only.

Neither Jack nor Dennis ever forgot the seriousness of a war by don button and its lasting effects. That they wrote humourous books on the Imprint staff subject doesnot mean they tookit lightly. In fact, they are just the Charles Dennis ’ opposite. By showing us the lunacy of it all, in a manner we can This War is Closed Until Spring enjoy, those things are not forgotten.

Laurentian Library Jack’s Bandy was not as likeable as Dennis’ MacDonald.

Bandy was seriously into the war effort. He continually fought the top brass to adopt his ideas to further the success of the Charles Dennis Allied forces. Granted, Bandy’s ideas were not always best The Periwinkle Assault thought out, but he was honest in his motivation. He was a top Laurentian Library notch fighter pilot, and motived his men to be the same.

Until Spring, he had become a hero for his unwilling part in the escape, and was appointed to a special commando/intelligence unit.

The Periwinkle Assault follows MacDonald on his first assignment with his new unit. MacDonald is as unwilling, and yet as successful, as before. This success plays neatly into the author’s plans for another couple of books, and probably a few Call us anytime for an appointment more after that. It is understandable that Dennis is not about to kill off his bread and butter, and with the quality of Dennis’ books, this is allowable.

Dennis’ characters are lovable and laughable - even those in the enemy camp. His thoughts on the efficiency of Army manage-ment and the role of the dedicated soldier are brought out through the characters and their actions. Like Heller, Dennis writes about war as a black joke played on the human race. Like Jack, Dennis provides a Canadian perspective that produces the humourous misfortunes and misconceptions that only Canadians cati achieve. (Everyone is guilty of this, 259 King Street West, Kjtchener Canadians just have their own special way of doing it).

For entertaining reading, there is none better than This War (Beside The King Centre Mall) is Closed Until Spring and The Periwinkle Assault, and as Pierre Burton writes in the Foreward, these books contain “more truth than many a sober and self-serving memoir. The best news, of course, is that there is more to come.”

‘1st ASEANS OPEN ’ BADMINTON TOURNAMENT

Yes! You have heard about the amazing Slow Pitch Tournament and now you can read about it.

The first slow pitch tournament was held under the hot skies of last Saturday and Sunday. The competition was keen; the level of fun high; and the spirits soaring, despite the heat.

When it was all over the Tube Sox came out on top in the “A” flight, and the Systems Sluggers slid by the Math Confusion 3- 1.

In the “C” flight the Stray Bats held on to defeat the 2B Mech crowd. Word around town is that the Explociv team had a very good time, even when they did not play.

While the NBA may not come to Toronto, basketball has certainly come to Waterloo in the form of Campus Recreation.

Best of Imprint ?wo UW students: battled

for crown

Megan Piercy, a 19 year old, second year Kinesiology student at UW, is the current National Orienteering Champion.

Piercy, who transferred to UW this year from McMaster, has been on the National Team twice, competing in the 1978 World Championships in Norway and the following year in Finland.

This year marked the first year she has been National Champion and she had to take the title away from someone who had had a virtual monopoly on it for four years.

That someone is Susan Budge, also 19, and also a second year Kin student (actually she has a double major of Kinesiology and Health) at UW. Budge first became National Champion in 1976. That same year, at the age of 15, she was the youngest competitor ever in the World Championships.

She repeated as the National Champ in 1977,78 and 79 before relinquishing her title this year to her friend and teammate, Piercy.

Budge and Piercy were both involved in competition this past weekend as the Ontario Orienteering Championships took place in Mansfield, Ontario. .

The course at Mansfield ran up and down steep, sandy hills, primarily through a mature hardwood forest. It was considered fast because of the absence of undergrowth.

Competitors start at intervals of two minutes, and are lost to sight in the heavily timbered country in less than 30 seconds. In effect, they are completeIy on their own since even if they see another competitor there’s no way of knowing if that competitor is looking for the same checkpoint.

Competitors are given a look at a contour map of the area one minute before their start. When their start-time arrives, they are provided with another map, this one containing the location of the twelve (in this race) checkpoints which they must visit, in the correct order, before they are finished.

At Mansfield, it was characteristic for the entrants to begin their course at a walk, taking their first compass reading, breaking into a trot as they disappeared.

More than a few returned to the start to try another reading.

Orienteering is a demanding sport, requiring the ability of a cross-country runner with the mentalaccuracy needed to plot the shortest twistingcoursefrom onecheckpoint to another. Perhaps it is the physical and mental demands of the sport which keeps the number of participants down.

That a lot of people who may have stayed in the spor tdo not because of initial frustration, was a feeling expressed by both Budge and Piercy.

“When you start,” said Budge, “it’s more of a recreation, because it’s so hard to read the map. It’s frustrating because you end up walking a-lot.”

Piercy agrees: “It frustrates people who expect to run all the time.” She continued, “runners may be good runners but youcan’t run faster than you can read the map.”

Both athletes felt that it took a year of competition to gain enough experience with the map and compass to enable one to compete seriously.

Budge qualified that: “They say it takes three years to become an advanced orienteer.

But it depends on what help you get.”

In Scandinavia, Piercy contends, orienteeringis“just as popular as hockey. It’s one of the national sports.”

At the World Championships, competition for as far back as anyone can remember has been dominated by Norway, Sweden, Finland and Switzerland (the site of next year’s World Championships).

These four, in a class by themselves, are followed by another group comprised of Czechoslovakia, Great Britain and Hungary.

The Canadians follow closely (the men’s team finished eighth and the women’s team tenth at the last world meet).

At the Ontario Championships, competition for as far back as anyone can remember has been dominated

by Sue Budge. This year was no exception as she had the fastest time on each day of the two-day meet. Piercy recovered after a bad first day to finish fourth over-all.

Still at least six years away from what should be their peak age, Piercy and Budge are already seasoned as international competitors.

For them, the future should be bright.

I had always known, theoretically, that there were certain dangers inherent in being open to suggestion. Unfortunately this fact had slipped my mind when Sue Budge, one of the runners training with the women’s cross country team, suggested that I ought to participate in her sport, orienteering, sometime.

Sue, one of Canada’s top orienteers, must have known better than I what I was in for, but somehow suppressed any suggestion of a giggle when I agreed very readily to the idea.

After all, I thought, priding myself on my fairness, Sue and Megan Piercy, another top orienteer, participate in the workouts of the women’s cross country team, and so nothing would be more fitting than for the cross-country coach to try out their event. And so it was settled that I would debut in the sport on September 21 at Milton.

I found myself even more firmly trapped when I recalled that the men’s cross country coach, Les Roberts, was a great orienteering enthusiast; I suggested to him that he might wish to come to Milton as well, and the next thing I knew, he and I had agreed to run together over something called an “orange course” at this coming meet. This troubled me a little, as inall fairness to Sue, I must say she had suggested a yellow course, and I did get the feeling that orange was somehow more threatening.

It’s not that I was totally ignorant of the sport; like many sports fans, I was aware that orienteering involved running around in the woods carrying a map and a compass. What more could there be to it?

I began to suspect there might be something more when I picked Les up the morning of the meet, and he emerged from his apartment dressed likeacommando, in what seemed to me to be military survival gear.

My apprehension increased even more as we pulled up at the registration area for the meeting; the road on which we parked was surrounded by swamp. Conversation as we walked to the registration desk was dominated by the question of whether or not swimming across bodies of water was or was not illegal in the sport; it was finally agreed that one could not swim, though it was permitted to walk across the bottom of a lake, for example. I hoped desperately that this discussion was purely academic in character, as neither the legal nor the illegal alternative had much appeal.

By the time we had reached the registration desk, Les had escalated his ambitions, and wanted to run a “green course”, as there had been no such thing in his heyday. Unable to make an intelligent judgements, I agreed. In about an hour and a half, we would have to start.

This was an eentful and educational hour and a half. Sue’s mirth at my suggestion that I might run in shorts caused me to adjust my sartorial intentions; I wound up in rain pants, a tshirt, and a denim shirt to protect my arms. Several people glanced with pity at my nice new running shoes, apparentiy

at gruelling

doomed to soiling, but there was nothing to be done, as they were all I had.

Watching the competitors warm up was some comfort, as this confirmed my suspicion that orienteering was a “soft” athletic event, ready to be revolutionized once the “real” runners saw fit to compete in it. So despite several anxieties, I remained confident of a comfortable afternoon.

My first clear notions of what was involved arrived at the start, when I was handed my map; with a compass borrowed from Les, I immediately determined thedirection in which we had to head to reach the first “control station” - completing the course involves visiting several such stations marked on the map and punching a card with a punch there, identifying that station, as proof of one’s visit.

We would (at last) begin along a path which, while slightly rocky, could be run with only a slight probability of spraining one’s ankle. And, even better, the map showed that the first station was on the edge of an open area; little did I realize that “open” does not suggest to an orienteer, as it does to me, grassy fields with no trees. After wandering around foraw hile in the midst of some trees, and repeatedly re-evaluating where on earth we might be, we stumbled across the first station.

Now the straight line connecting the first and second stations on the map passed directly through “uncrossable marsh” so we took the hint and devised a roundabout route avoiding that. All we had to do was connect with a nearby path, which would lead us almost directly to a fenceline within 100 yards of our goal.

This path proved somewhat elusive, and we wound up fighting our way over boulders and through trees, all rather obstinately set out to impede our progress. Nonetheless, a path, in fact the correct path, was soon found, and, liberated, we found ourselves running for the first time of the day. Here of course we were sure to make up time.

We did a pretty good job finding the third station after our run; the search involved a minimum of baffled references to the map, and the fourth station was barely two hundred yards away! We struggled efficientlyalongacouple of cliff faces and soon spotted the station; this was almost becoming too easy.

The fifth station was due north about a half mile away, but directly through forest. As Les pointed out, trees have an annoying habit of looking alikeafteracouple of hours, and so we had to proceed with compasses in hand, cautiously trying to avoid misdirection.

Closing in on our quarry, we found some confusion setting in; not merely trees, but boulders look alike, and these are unfortunately the main physical features which are marked on maps. A few people passed by, mostly orienteers on the orange course searching for a nearby station, regrettably not ours.

We did find the fifth station, ratherdiscouraginglyas it was found by a competitor, a woman ofabout forty who strode up to it calmly with no apparent doubt. On our way to the sixth station we crossed her path and learned that we had seen her making her fourth approach to the previous station.

Encouraged by this, we raced along our chosen path to the next station, and set out into the woods at what we thought was the right place.

We did succeed in findinievery spot near this station which could be identified from features appearing on the map. We even found a control station intended for competitors on one of the other courses. But after what seemed hours of search-’ ing, we had not found the sixth station. By now my cold was, bothering me a lot and I was soaked in sweat and utterly fatigued; futhermore, my back was aching terribly. Les was determined to find the sixth station, and I was determined to return immediately to the finish area. We compromised; Les abandoned the search for the sixth station, and set out tofind the remaining ones, while I hurried back to my car.

After three hours in the bush, what had I accomplished? I’d found six out of nine control stations (having accidentally found the ninth returning to the finish), and two out of three ain’t bad; I’d managed to totally exhaust myself running what on the map amounted to about four miles, over three hours.

I’d learned that orienteering was substantially harder than I’d thought; it was more than just running around in the bush - most of it was knowing where to run. I’d also learned that running through forest, over rocks, and across “open” fields was much more demanding than running on roads, tracks, or even on “cross country” terrain. I also had a new sense of how tired I could feel, and how sore my back could be.

After the afternoon, Les took his course map and analyzed it, trying to estimate how long he thought it would take Sue Budge to complete the course he had done eight-ninths of in 3 hours 10 minutes, and I had done two thirds of in about three hours.

And what was his answer? “Oh, about forty-five minutes.”

He also told me, somewhat Orienteering is known for its rigor. Track coach Alan Adamson discovered this was true when he accompanied some of UW’s finest on an expedition.

after the fact, that one should

never have one’s introduction to orienteering at an “A” meet like the one at Milton. I still don’t know what an “A” meet is nor what a “green” or “orange” course is, but I’ve noticed that there’s a “B” meet in Guelph in a week or so. And my back doesn’t feel quite so bad now. . .
