June 30.1983 -

Issues dealt with at regular council meeting by don button Imprint staff The Federation of Students’ Council meeting last Sunday was more of an informationalgathering thananythingelse, with the subject of the proposed new Federation Hall providing more discussion than anything else. In his opening remarks, Fed president, Tom Allison, explained to council about the new health insurance deal that was negotiated with Mutual Life. Confederation Life, the previous underwriter of the health insurance plan, had announced a 107 percent increase in premiums in an attempt to recoup the $750,000 they have lost on the plan over the last five years. Apparently, Confederation Life had been undercharging all these years to keep the Fed contract. Mutual Life’s contract was awarded on the basis of it being the lowest of the five companies that bid on the contract, with the added bonus of being local. Premiums will still go up (to $11.37 per term), and there will no longer be eyeglass benefits, but this should allow them to avoid deficit financing similar to the type that got Confederation Life into a hole. - The new contract will go into effect as of September lst, 1983, but Co-op students who have already paid premiums until the end of the Fall term will not have to pay the increased rates until the Winter term. Co-op students will, however, have to pick up their new cards at Health Services at the end of this term or the beginning of the Fall term. Students anticipating the need for eyeglasses will only be eligible for benefits until August 3 1st. Allison also announced that the Federation of Students would be setting up a resume service; hopefully within the next three weeks to allow for operator training before theanticipated rush in the first few weeks of September. The word processor system would be capable of producing resumes and copies of resumes, as well as helping the Fed secretaries become more efficient and more productive in less time. Costs have yet to be determined, but Allison said that they would be less than offcampus commercial enterprises are charging. The proposed Canon color photocopier idea is on hold forawhile. Response to opinion polls posted in the Fed photocopier room was poor, but Allison says that he thinks the notices created the wrong impression. He said that he thought people were of the impression that the new photocopier would replace one of the old ones. Under the Fed proposal, the new colour’

copier would supplement the old ones. In long term plans, Allison said that all three could become part of a Fed photocopying centre if space and money allow such a set-up in the future. Also discussed last Sunday was the still unresolved problem of space re-allocation in the Campus Centre. Present space utilization is not the most efficient use of the limited space in the building, and the Federation wishes to reallocate space to make room for people who either have no space, or not enough space, at present. The size and available office space in the new Federation Hall willdetermine what, if anything, can be done in the Campus Centre. Federation Hall received the blessing of 75 per cent of the students who voted in the last Spring Fed election. Of those 75 per cent who approved of the new facility on the referendum, 72 per cent indicated that they would be willing to pay for the building’s construction through higher Fed fees. Although this support gave the Federation the mandate to proceed with the planning stages, the Feds will be holding another referendum to get permission to increase fees and to release the funds necessary to commence construction. This referendum will be held on July 20th, and again in midSeptember, to allow as many students as possible the opportunity to announce their opinions. Blueprints and a model of the proposed , building will be available for public viewing after July 8th. The Federation Hall would seat 700 people, have an expanded food service, and have facilities to accommodate live bands. Allison said that he expected the building to’ generate more revenue than does the Bombshelter, and allow the Feds to hold more live-band pubs at lower rates. Federation Hall would also be a step in the right direction to alleviate University of Waterloo’s deficit in recreational space; space that is 50 per cent less than the minimum suggested recreational space at universities. In the meantime, the planning continues, The Federation’s student council, board of governors, executive committee and the Fed Hall planning committee will all be discussing food, facilities, referendum dates, fee increases, and other Fed Hall related issues. c In this, and all Fed activities, student input is welcome. Meeting dates and times are available in the Federation office in theCampus Centre.

National

women’s

team:

Play basketball

J U W’s Don McCrae made the headlines a few weeks ago when he was fired from his positionas head coach of Canada’s national women’s basketball team. Basketball Canada and McCrae explained at that time that the firing wasdue to“incompatibility” between the two parties. The previous assistant-coach oft he team, Wayne Hussey, was named as McCrae’s replacement, and had as his first priority the rebuilding df team confidence.. A couple of team members indicated the difficulty ofthis undertaking when they announced their view that under McCrae the team could expect to be in the medal round of any tournament they played in. They also said that they couldn’t expect this without McCrae. Now, things are a mess. A royal mess. Eight team members, including four starters and an assistant coach, announced this week that they had quit the team to protest McCrae’sfiring. All the parties involved: McCrae, Hussey, Basketball Canada, Sport Canada, and the athletes are mad at each other. The team is still theoretically a team, but in reality has nothing left. With only part of the team, a new head coach that the players have little confidence in, and their first game of the World University Games slated for Canada Day, Canada’s national women’s team is behind the eight ball La large, pitch blackeight ball. With determined effort from the remaining players, who are not the best, but certainly good, the team can come out of the Games with a reasonable showing. But a medal is pretty well out of the question. On top of that, after the Games the team will compete in the World Championships and the Pan-Am Games this summer. By the time the qualifying tournament for the 1984 Olympics rolls around next spring, the team could be remoulded into a contender, but the chances of that happening in time for this summer’s action are minimal. In fact, their chances of being a contender by next spring are also minimal, unless their present situation is resolved in such a way as to facilitate this. McCrae has said that he will not return as coach unless he is asked . . . It is unlikely that Basketball Canada will ask him . . . Three or four of the players who quit have said that they will not return to the team unless McCrae is re-instated . . . Husseyhassaid that the most outspoken team members will be punished upon

not politics returning to the team. . . Basketball Canada feels that it acted in the best interests of the team in firing McCrae and in not bowing to the pressure of the players . . . Sport Canada feels that Basketball Canada is in part to blame fort he mess. . . Hussey feels McCrae has added to the problems. . . McCrae feels Hussey has added to‘the problems by indicating that McCrae has added to the problems. One of the best teams in the world is in the process of being destroyed, and people are issuing lethargic statements! McCrae has done his part. He has announced that he has been fired and is therefore going to stay away from the team. Any of the players who quit and asked his opinion were told to get back to the basketball team. He is not solicitingactionfrom Basketball Canada or Sport Canada. He is trying to keep his distance so the team can get back to playing. It is not working. With players quitting and the situation becoming worse, the mess gets bigger. And the bigger the mess, the longer it takes to rectify it. Basketball Canada has announced it will have an enquiry into the whole affair on August 3 1st - a move that was intended to placate the disgruntled players. This was more than useless, it was a move that sparked further troubles. Some ofthe women on the team felt that this was an attempt to whitewash, and confronted Basketball Canada about it - which eventually resulted in the walk-out.

A decision must be made immediately. All the parties concerned.must decide how important the teamand its welfare is. If they feel, like I do, that the team is the reason for having coaches and administrators, etc., and it is therefore the most important part of this whole chain, then the situation can be rectified simply and quickly. It would involve Basketball Canada, Sport Canada, Wayne Hussey, Don McCrae and the eight walkouts to eat a little crow. The stand must be taken that everyone shares the blame for the present mess, and that everybody must swallow their pride and work together on rebuilding the team. Or the administrative politics can continue, and they will continue even if all the parties remain inert, and Canada’s national women’s basketball team will regress to their preMcCrae status - international dormancy. don button

On Monday, July 1lth, there will be a special meeting for all interested students to discuss the new Federation Hall proposal. With the referendum dates set for July 20th and architectural drawings ready for this meeting, there should be some lively discussion. The meeting begins at 2 p.m. in Rm. 135 of the Campus Centre. Thursday, July 14th is shaping up to be quite a day. t The ‘Open Air Concert featuring Martha and the Muffins will begin on the Village Green at 3 p.m. Also on the 14th, the Red Cross will be holding a Blood Donor Clinic from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon in the\ small gym of the PAC. After giving blood, and before the Concert, students can get together with the Turnkeys and “Go Fly A Kite”. The Campus Centre Board is sponsoring a Kite Flying Competition, also on the 14th, on the Village Green beginning at 1 p.m. -

OFS The recent Ontario Federation of Students Annual General Meeting, held here at Waterloo, went “extremely well”, according to Federation President, Tom Allison. -

“The mood of the conference was one of genuine co-operation. The new administrations that have been elected seem to be considerably more moderate than their predecessors. It looks like it will beagood year for OFS,” said Allison. The first two davs of the conference were service oriented, with seminars on Time Management and Public Speaking as well as “how to” sessions on Orientation and Homecoming. For the most part, these first two days were a success. though the poor initial planning of this part of the conference by OFS disappointed some people. The Women’s Caucus, held Wednesday dealt with issues affecting women students, and according to Education Commissioner Gayle Laws, the session was “very productive”. Laws, and Board of Communication Co-Chair, Kathryn Seymour, were elected to sit on the ongoing OFS Women’s Issues Committee. The mostly issues-oriented part of the conference began on Thursday and continued through until Sunday evening, and ran “very smoothly”, according to Board of Academic Affairs Chair, Steve Sutherland. Sutherland was elected chair of the Union of Ontario Undergraduates, a separate group within OFS that concerns itself exclusively with issues affecting University Undergraduates. The final Plenary, which usually is an

unruly affair lasting anywhere from twelve to fifteen hours, began at 10 a.m. and was all over by 6 p.m. There were not any major issues that divided the delegates, and almost everyone left the conference with renewed faith in the future of the Provincial student movemerit. During the conference the Minister of Education, Bette Stephenson, announced that Visa Students at Ontario institutions who enrolled in first year in September 1982 would not have to pay the massive increase in their tuition fees for a one term period, though they would be subject to increases for all following terms. This announcement can be seen as a partial victory, since the Ministry finally recognized that there was a problem. But though it helps out Visa Students for the Fall term, these students will still be subject to increases from the Winter term onwards of up to 40 per cent in some institutions.

lews -. WPIRG holds Nicaragua group film, presentation by Rob Dobrucki At a meeting which was co-sponsored bythe Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG) and the Southern Ontario Nicaragua Tour, approximately ninety people listened to five representatives of the group which.had toured Nicaragua for two weeks. The tour, organized by the Latin American Working Group in Toronto, was arranged “to help Canadians understand what has happened in Nicaragua since 1979 (when the former government of General Somoza was according to Jane Reble, a overthrown)“, member of the group. With the aid of a recently produced film entitled Target Nicaragua: Inside a Covert War, the members of thegroup described life in Nicaragua and the destabilizing effects of American economic and military influence on life there.

Student On June 6, 1983, Bill Cl61 “An Act to Amend the Canada Student Loans Act” passed first reading in the House of Commons. In this bill are the three major changes to the Canada Student Loans Plan announced by the Secretary of State, Serge Joyal, last March. At that time, Joyal said that the federal government was planning legislation that was to: i) increase the weekly loan limit to $1001 week(previously $56.25/week) ii) include part time students in the program, and iii) allow for an 18 month interest relief program for students who were unemployed after leaving school. Joyal stated in a meeting between the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS) and the Secretary of State department that the changes would be conditional upon the provinces maintaining the current level of funding for their own student aid plans. Since that time, other information regarding the changes has come to the attention of CFS. For the first time, students who study on a part time basis will be eligible to receive $2,500 total aid under the Canada Student Loans Plan. The federal government is viewing assistance to these students as a “cash flow” . method of aid, as these students must begin repay-

They also accused the US of direct interference through military aid. Both thefilmand the speakers stated that the rebel groups operating against the Sandinista government could not have organized themselves without the funding they received from the American government. The film referred to a statement by William Casey, the Director of the CIA, in which he claimed President Reagan authorized a $19 million budget for covert actions in Nicaragua. The next WPIRG Summer ‘83 Social Issue Series presentation will be held on July 4th in CC room 113 at 12:30 p.m. and again that evening at 7:30 p.m. at the Kitchener Public Library. The presentations will deal with the mismanagement of high technology and will’ feature the film, New Technology: Who’s Progress? For more information, contact WPIRG at 886-9020.

loans amended ment one month after receipt of their loan. These students will not be eligible for the interest relief program. In addition, as announced in March, the government is amending the CSLP to include an interest relief period for full time students only. In order to apply for the relief period a student must: a) be a resident of Canada, b) be unemployed or incapable of working due to illness or disability and, c) cannot be eligible for the interest relief for more than a total of .18 months. ’ Under the proposed legislation, a student’s interest relief period is subject to review every three months by an officer, who will determine if the individual’s eligibility for relief is still applicable. Not only does the proposed legislation allow for an increase in the loan limit, but provision has been made that would allow the Minister to increase the loan limit by multipliers that would reflect the annual changes in the average costs to students at post secondary institutions. The legislation does not include any riders regarding potential provincial cutbacks to student aid. According to an official within the Secretary of State department, the provincial governments have verbally expressed their agreement in principle not to cut

their aid programs. However, changes have already been made to the British Columbia student assistance program that will seriously limit the number of full time students that can apply for aid, and there has been some mention of a cutback in the amount of provincial bursary. Other provinces are likely to make similar changes in. their programs. Already Bette Stephenson, Chairperson of the Council of Ministers of Education Canada (CMEC) has written a letter expressing that III body’s support for thechanges to the Canada Student Loans Program. 1.

But Modern English’s single Melt With You, taken from their After The Snow album, and their recenttourwith Roxy Music exposed them to a much vaster audience. “New York was great this time,“said Grey. “We played the Ritz and sold out three nights. It wasn’t just people leaning against the wall either.” It’s no small feat to sell out the large, cavernous Ritz, or to turn the usual pose and clothes-jaded New York audiences into a dancing and enthusias’tic crowd. Modern English worksfor its response and obviously their formula is a successful one for, as The Waterloo Inn performance proves, Modern English has the ability to transfer much of its live energy and power to the audience. Grey sings, arms outstretched, and dances frantically about the whole stage while the audience soon catches on to what it means to express energy through dance and music. “Onstageweaskpeopletolistenand think about themselves and what they’re doing. Our music is from the heart, not from the brain. But energy is more important than context for the start.” The energy, which pours out live, may well have been the element to have won over audiences in North America. Another reason may be the excellent Me/t With You,video. Made in four hours for a relatively small sum of money, the video was picked up by Music Television, a 24 hour cable channel based in New York City. “We’ve got such a young kids market in America because of MTV. Maybe half our audience is 16 or 17,” said Grey. The video is set in a dark, lowceilinged room, half-fijIed with a dry ice fog. Grey, dressed in black trousers, undershirt, sunglasses and black leather cap, sings with the band while the camera cuts back and forth to a pair of ballroom dancers, seemingly selfabsorbed. The whole atmosphere is one of a smokey decadence circa the crumbling Germany of the 30’s. “Yeah, that’s exactly what I thought,” admitted Grey, “but I don’t know how other people saw it.. .” A second video for the next Modern English single, Someone’s Calling, was completed recently in LosAngeles over a period of two dais. “It’s about the riots in Brixton last summer. There were a lot of riots everywhere, but we wanted to make it a

more universal thing so we got newsreels of riots everywhere and that’s cut with club scenes in L.A.,” Grey explained. Someone’s Calling will presumably be included on the third Modern English album, to be released in January, 1984. Grey described the music on the third LP as being closer to After-TheSnowthantoMeshandLace. As for the lead vocalist’s personal taste in music, Grey stated that he dislikes the ultra pop synth sounds of bands’ such as Duran Duran, Men Without Hats, and Flock of Seagulls. “I was brought up on disco. It gets drummed into your head.” “I didn’t even Iistento music untilthe Sex Pistols. Now I listen to KISS (a radio station in New York). I listen to a lot of Black music: Grandmaster Flash, Survivor. Hard funk.” As happened to a price little known band who first played Waterloo almost two years ago, success can often creep up and pounce unexpectedly changing the life and life-style of the once-boynext-door. Why, look at Jim Kerr and Simple Minds now. Robbie Grey insists that if Modern English grows in popularitytothepoint where Kitchener-Waterloo will be too’ small a town for them to play their next tour, it will not be his doing but that of the tour manager. No one can foresee the changes which are inevitable consequences of a changing situation but Grey protests that Modern English will not become stars inflated with selfimportance and false egoism. “Look around the room,” Grey gestured. (The band members are sitting around chatting, and listen to Tears for Fears on the cassette de, - ’ “None of us is into that.” ,On the opposite curve of the spectrum, what is to become of the individuals that make up the band if tomorrow the hubbub dies down and for some reason Modern English decided to part ways, to break up? -Robbie Grey answers vlJithout hesitation, but with a frank sincerity rarely seen in the presence of a Q .J man plucked from the anonin -y of his neighbourhood and placed In front of a screaming eager audience on a stage 6,000 miles from home; “It won’t kill us,” he says-and smiles.

by don button Imprint staff The free concert on UW’s Village Green on July 14th will be Martha and the Muffins’ first outdoor concert; something lead singer Martha Johnson said she is looking forward to in a telephone interview with Imprint earlier this week. Johnson and Mark Gane are the only remaining members of the original Marthaand the Muffins, and have stuck through the band’s bleak period to get to today’s greener pastures. They write the songs, and design the artistic and spiritual direction of the music. “We work very hard on our lyrics,” said Johnson, “and although we are dealing with basic human interest areas (like love, jealousy, hate, trying to find a job, etc.) we don’t try to spell things out for people, but rather present the ideas in a way that will stimulate people to think about other things.” Martha and the Muffins have been through many situations: some positive, and some negative. With the success of their debut ,album, Metro Music and its single, Echo Beach, the band earned the freedom to go on and to play their own music. Their record company gave them freedom to do what they wanted, but to gain popularity, Martha and the Muffins had to first prove that they were more than a one hit wonder Their second album, Trance and Dance, did not do so well, mainly because, according to Johnson, they were not happy and were going through a ‘down period’. This down period lasted through their third album, This Is The Ice Age and beyond until Gerry Young entered the scene. Young left his job in the promotions department of Polygram records, started Current Records, and devoted his time and money to Marthaand the Muffins.

For over 30years, George Martin hasled the field in audio recording as a producer, composer, arranger, conductor and performer. He has worked on classical, comedy, jazz, folk and pop/rock recordings as well as motion picture and television soundtracks. CBC Radio’s new series, Through the Ears of George Martin, debuting Sun. July 3 at 2:00 p.m. attempts to capture the magic and music that Martin’s work has produced from Sir Adrian Boult to The Beatles and Paul McCartney. Host and producer Bruce Steele spent over a week with Martin in his AIR studio and office in London, England, interviewing the man behind The Beatles and, the control boards of many other recording stars. What resulted in a 13 week series of personal thoughts, reminiscences and music produced by George Martin. On the July 3 show, Martin discusses one of his first solo sessions with Sidney Torch. He recalls that at the start of the session, he could

That time and energy went into Dansepart, an album that has beensteadilyclimbing the charts since its release a few months ago. The album, their fourth, has been wellreceived, and is doing something that noother Martha and the Muffins album has done: gain acceptance in the US market. “A couple of years ago, we were at the point where we had-to decide whether we should change our music togoafter the USmarket, or whether we should just keep ondoing what we wanted to. We decided to keep doing what we wanted to,” explained Johnson. The result of this decision was that the band has gained wide-spread popularity in England and Europe, but virtually nothing in the States except on college radio. Which means limited popularity from Canadians, who have a tendency to wait until US fans issue a statement before listening to new groups. Although the July 14th concert will be Martha and the Muffins’ first outdoor concert, it won’t be much different from other concerts by the band, weather permitting. Therewillbe 7 people on stage, which tends to keep things pretty lively. They will perform most of the Danseparc album, as well as some of their older stuff. Most of the older material will come from T&s is the Ice Age, but, yes, they will be doing Echo Beach. “We’d thought about dropping Echo Beach because it seems like such a long time ago,” admitted Johnson, “but people want to hear it and it makes them happy. And when the audience is happy, it comes back to uson stage and that only makes us perform that much better.” It has been a long time since Martha and the Muffins performed in Waterloo, and since then they have travelled the world, fought off imminent disbanding, and enjoyed artistic and popularity successes.

EdmontonA.s, ’ Welco rnes the<.Wtirld” by Donald Duench Imprint staff Since 1923, university athletes from around the world have been meeting in friendly yet fierce competition. Tomorrow, the World University Games will open for the first time in Canada. Edmonton will host. the Games, which are also known as Universiade ‘83, between the dates of July 1st and 1 lth. Approximately 3000 athletes and 1500 officials from 85 countries will be participating in Edmonton. Only those amateurs between the ages of 17 and 28 on January lst, 1983, who are also students, are eligible to compete. Nine.ty percent of the competitors are expected to also participate at Los Angeles in next year’s Summer Olympics. Canadian involvement in the Games began in 1965 when Bill Crothers took the gold in the 800 metre race in Budapest, Hungary. Since then, Canadian athletes have five other first-place finishes. As host country, Canada will have 220 athletes present this year, with representatives in all ten events. ’ There are nine compulsory events for each World University Games, with one additional sport chosen by the host country.

Athletics The track and field events, to be held July 5th to 1 lth at an expanded Commonwealth Stadium, are always an important part of any multi-sport event. Italian Pietro Mennea set a world record of 19.72 seconds in the -200 metres at the 1979 Games, which still stands today. Athletes such as Harry Jerome, Abby Hoffman, and Diane Jones-Konihowski have competed for Canada in the Games. This year’s team includes high jumper Milt Ottey and sprinter Angela Taylor.

Basketball Around thirty teams usually participate in the men’s basketball competition, with the US and USSR teams always the ones to beat. Canadian participation began in 1970, and has been a relative success. The team, coached by Jack Donahue, has finished fourth or fifth in every Universiade since 1973. Exhibition victories over Israel last week are a good sign for the red and white. Only half the number of teams for the men’s contest are usually present for the women’s basketball competition.

Diving Both three and ten metre versions of this sport will be contested between July 2nd and 10th at the Kinsmen Aquatic Centre. Four men and four women are allowed to compete for each country. The lone Canadian diving medal came in 1977, when Janet Nutter took a bronze.

Fencing The competition in fencing in Edmonton will be very similar to that in Los Angeles in 1984. Foil, epee, and sabre classifications will be contested, in both individual and team events. No Canadian fencer has won a medal yet, but the twelve who compete this year, including Jacynthe Poirier and Jean-M *c Chouinard, hope to change that.

Gymnastics With generally the youngest competitors in all of sports, the gymnastics events always promise to be exciting. Men’s events include floor exercise, side horse, vault, parallel bars, high bar, and the rings. Women perform in the floor exercise, vault, uneven parallel bars, and balance beam events. Six competitors from eaCh country compete in both individual and team categories. There have been no Caxi; ’ - 11 winners in gyms./ - - ?f yet. L petitors such as Elf& u* ind Yves Dion hope to be as good as bretzky when they perform in the Northlands Coliseum from July 2nd to the 5th.

will involve not one, but fwo, University of Waterloo students. Both Mike West and Sandra Honor have qualified for our national swimming teams. The four basic strokes used in competition are the front (freestyle), back, butterfly, and breast stroke; the latter producing four Canadian gold medals in one year. Graham Smith won the 100 and 200 metre men’s breast stroke, while Marion Stuart and Anne Gagnon took the women’s 100 and 200 metre races respectively in 1977.

Tennis

The new University of Alberta Tennis Centre will host the tennis competition from July4thto 10th. Threemenand three women from each country will participate in both singles and doubles tournaments. The lone Canadian medal in this event came when Helene Pelletier and Nick Mohtadi took a bronze in 1979.

Volleyball The fast and high-paced action of this sport could provide some of the most

exciting moments in ‘the Games. Each country’s team will contain twelve players who will compete at the Kinsmen Field House and Northlands Coliseum from July 2nd to 10th. If either the Canadian men’s or women’s team takes a medal, it will be theirsfirst in Universiade competition.

Waterpolo Traditionally dominated by Eastern European teams, this sport is a good combination of the brutal tests of both hockey and swimming. The Canadian team will probably not be in the swim ofthingscome the final round. This event will be held July 8th to 1 lth at the Kinsmen Aquatic Centre. Both the Opening and Closing Ceremonies will be held at Commonwealth Stadium. The planning is over, and tomorrow it will be time to “Welcome the World” to Edmonton for the World University Games. National television coverage spans the entire eleven days.

A poetic contrast to Quinelle, Paluso is a survivor - not a survivalist, but just a guy who gets by in a low-profile, tolerant sort of way. A peacemaker, he really can’t understand why people want to hurt each other . . . though he’s no wimp. Perhaps one of the purposes of the movie is to contrast Wes Huntley’s “‘Real Man” semi-military, ,armed to the teeth real manhood to Paluso’s. You don’t have to be in the

There is no wonder er Reeve (at least a mediocre actor) is leaving if this is the kind of work he is expected to do. The first hour is more-or-less saved by Richard Pryor (I wondered if we were watching “Richard Pryor Meets Superman”, he is so important to it) but it is a continual effort on Pryor’s part and the script won’t let him keep it up. Perhaps the most significant flaw in the script lies in the scenes between Lana Lang (Annette O’Toole) and Clark Kent. Clark returns to Smallville for a high school reunion and finds his childhood flame, the beautiful Lana, a widow with a small child. She’s very lovable; she’s even in distress, due to the unwanted attentions of the ex-highschool football star. Clark falls for her.

Williams can also portray sensitivity, sadness, and failure. Humour and tragedy are closely related, and Williams seems to understand both. There are a couple of really touching scenesin this movie - the opposite of comic relief. The author doesn’t want us to forget that there’s a moral happening here. You’ll like this movie. You’ll like it because it is often hilariously funny, because the acting in it is beyond reproach, because it has a poignant message that is probably universal in its need for application, and, quite simply, it may be the nicest movie you’ll see this summer.
