_.Inv~sion,tinjustifi~d,

Thotias~~ sziys AI e;. 3

by Jim Kafieh Imprint staff On October 19th 1983, the Prime Minister of Grenada, Maurice Bishop, was placed under house arrest. Five days late?, in a confused exchange between civilians and units of the Grenadan military, &shop was killed. On the heels of the death of Bishop came the American invasion of Grenada. On November, 15th, Barbara Thomas, one of six Canadian. University Service Overseas (CUSO) workers in Grenadaduring the Grenadan coup and the American invasion, held a press conference to offer her impressions of Grenada. Thomas has twice previously visited the island of Grenada and is a former resident of the neighboring island of Barbados. “I was horrified and shocked (by the coup)“, said Barbara Thomas. She said she was “greatly saddened that the efforts of - the Grenadan people over the last four years and all the energy the people put in to the building of something” could be lost in such a short time. Thomas presented several strong arguments to dispute the _ American case for invasion. Initially the United States said it was landing on Grenada to provide safety for the Americans on the island. Thomas said the Grenada government made it clear three days before the invasion that all foreigners”who wished to leave could do so and that foreign aircraft were free toland until the invasion. She said that the government of the United States was granted permission to send a ship to Grenada to remove all Americans wishing to leave the island; and finally that the United States consular office in Grenada told the State Department that they were not advising anyone to leave. Another American justification for the .invasion was the “foreign presence” on the island, the implication being that the

country was either occupied for foreign troops or that it had as a result of the “foreign presence” become a threat to the United -. States., Thomas described this “foreign presence” as Britain, Oxfam America, 1100 American medical students, 744 Cubans and 25 Russinas. She said, “I never heard anything that was unfavourable to any of these foreign presences” from the Grenadian people. Thomas said there were 550 to 600 Cuban skilled and se’miskilled construction workers who were enlarging the airport. Among the rest were doctors, dentists, teachers and physiotherapists. There was a medical shortage immediately after their removal, she said. Thomas said the Cuban construction workers were armed with personal light weapons, but that they were issued just prior to the invasion and for defensive reasons. Thomas pointed out that an invasion of Grenada was always understood to be a real possiblity. In a Caribb.ean exercise just last year, called “Ocean Venture”, the United States staged a mock invasion similar to the one of Grenada. A further point cited by the United States as evidence of a communist plot to undermine the security of the United States or the Caribbean basin was the Point Salines airport.. The government of Grenada insisted that construction work being done was to improve the airport for civilian use. The -4mericans before the invasion were adamant that a nation the size of Grenada did not require an airport larger than it had and that to expand the facility indicated an intent to base foreign military aircraft there. Now, according to Thomas, the Governor General of Grenada, Paul Scoon:is seeking money from Britain and Canada to finish what he now describes as a“tourist”airport.

With reference to arms caches that-are alleged to have been found on the island, Thomas said, all the information from Grenada is from a single source - the United States government - and that it was often self contradicting. . Thomas expressed the opinion that the Americans were carefully “managing” the information coming off the island. For example, the Grenadan army resisted the invasion for six days, -but the Americans attributed the resistance to Cuban troops, she said. ‘In the end, said Thomas, it is hard to see how a nation the size of Ottawa, with a population of 100,000 people, with no navy or airforce and an army of only 1000 menequipped with,weapons of greater historical than military value, could constitute a threat to , the United States. i’ In her opinion, foreign residents in Grenada were not iiidanger until after the American invasion. Furthermore, she said that looting broke out only after the Americans landed. Today, Grenada appears quiet, but Thomas attributes this to “draconian measures” invoked by Scoon. She, said these measures include a law which allows arrest without charges, no freedom of the pres whatsover, a law forbidding interference with the invasion troops and another forbidding assembly of greater than three people indoors or out for any reason except for the purposes of prayer or business. If the Grenadan people were truly happy about the invasion, such measures would not be necessary, Thomas concluded. Thomas is one of a group of speacers on a CUSO sponsored tour of Canada. CUSO is ‘presently organizing a fund-raising project for medical supplies and the reconstruction of Grenada. Information about, the project may be obtained at the campus CUSO office. L. i

Math, revises plans by Terry Voth Imprint staff At the Senate’ Undergraduate Council meeting Monday, the Math faculty revised their plans to make changes to the general Math programme. The. revision was made in response to’ pressure from the Federation of Students and the Math Society. The faculty had planned not to offer CS370 and CS371 during the Spring 1984 term. The two courses were to be replaced by CS337, but not until Fall 1984 term, which would have prevented several third year Math students from completing their third year requirements until fourth year. This would, in turn, restrict students in their choice of Computer Science courses. At the meeting, the faculty, represented by Profi J. D. Lawson, Prof. P. C. Brillingerand Prof. I. McGee, admitted that they had acted hastily. According to Brillinger, fifty students will need CS371 during Spring term. The faculty is now planning to offer both CS370 and CS37 1 in the Winter term and CS37 1 in the Spring term. All students affected by the change will be notified that they can change their schedules immediately. Math Society president Laura Red&an said the faculty was very co-operative and that “they realized they made an error.”

’ future be allowed to parade strippers on campus remains open to question. Fed president, Tom Allison, says he has received a promise that”this type of event” will not be sponsored by EngSoc in the future. But Associate D,ean Roe says that while he’s looking into the parading of Godiva through a midterm as a possible academic offense, he’s not planning to take, action to prevent the future use of strippers in Eng Sot events. “In my view,” he says, “if a young person who’s not a student wishes to be carried around campus, that’s her perogative.” Imprint photo by John W. Bast ’ Special Effects by Mark Lussier

Engineering students, led by Eng Sot president Denis Vandecker, proceeded through a Geography 202 class, disrupting a midterm that was taking place. Besides a spate of angry letters to Imprint, the incident resulted in a formal protest from ‘the Environmenta Studies Society demanding a formal tipology from An Action for Ethics Committee formed by ESS is co-ordinating formal protests, and Peter Roe, Associate Dean of Engineering has responded by speaking to a “representative” group of students about the incident to see if there is cause to

Steve Sutherland, Chairman of the Board of Academic Affairs, said that this incident is a. , “big breakthrough” in that a faculty has ’ admitted that they were wrong. The motion had passed several executive levels before students realized the ‘motion 2, existed. It was stopped at the Senate’Executive ‘: level November 7’ by Sutherland and ‘ Federation president Tom Allison, who were backed at the meeting by the Math Society. According to Redican, “There’s still a lot under the table.” As an example, she referred to , a rule barring second year students taking third . year courses. “That,” says Redican, “has never passed Senate.” a Math Society made its next move towards ’ filling this role by holding a meeting last Tuesday for students to air their concerns and complaints with Math’ programmes. The lecture hall overflowed with two hundred and fifty students. Prof. Lawson and Prof. - Brillinger were on hand as faculty representatives. Chairman Kelly Mastersonco,mpiled a list of complaints and promised on behalf of the Math,Society to take the matters to the ’ appropriate committees. Comments ranged from the availability of Computer Science courses to conflicts between the calendar and actual course offerings. \ :

solutions” from their deliberations, immediately setting the tone of impotence that pervaded three days of carefully worded speeches and round-table workshops. The first day began with a prepared ten minute text delivered by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, who warned that “word processors replace office workers, computers have taken tasks away from clerks,” and that “The .federal government is attempting to ensure that as many Canadians as possible find work, not lose it.” ’ Trudeau’s somber address was echoed by another keynote speaker, J.J. Servan Schreiber, a journalist and former Minister for the government of France, who stridently warned that the modern miracles of high technology could fall into the hands of “fanatical opportunists”, directed by the profit motive, not the common good. Representatives from Japan and the United States were more positive. Masahiro Sakamoto, Counselor to the Minister of Japan’s Economic Planning Agency, said his government has historically “provided a perspective and vision for a future industrial development” emphasizing high technology. With traditional Japanese efficiency, the heavily-accented Sakamoto proceeded to quote from a 30 page collection of charts, graphs and statistics, which undoubtedly disproved the fear of high-tech expressed by Trudeau and his friend from France. Sakamoto’s American counterpart, Dr. George Keyworth, science advisor to Ronald Reagan, also emphasized the pluses of

attending were very good, but I found I got the most out of the conference from the discussions in the lobbies. Perhaps if they (the government) would have left us alone we could have got a lot more done.” Ferrabee was pleased that students had been invited, albeit with three days notice, and with the way much of the discussion centred on educational issues. However, he too believed little would result from the talk. “I just don’t think the government is serious about getting its act together and giving universities and colleges the funding they need to discover, implement, and cushion the shocks of high technology.” Donald Johnston, Minister of Science ahd’Technology and the host of the conference, warned delegates to expect “no instant

The conference ran last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and delegates included 700 distinguished members of Canada’s industrial, educational, and government intelligentsia. UW was probably the best represented university in Canada, . with five delegates. Attendees were: Dr. D.ouglas Wright, president of UW; Dr. Eric Manning, head of UW’S Institute of Computer Research; Dr. Bill Lennox, dean of engineering; Michael Ferrabee, vice-president University Affairs, Federation of Students; and this reporter, also representingthe Federation ‘ of Students. Wright was the most positive of the three UW delegates contacted. He said that, “on the whole, I thought it was quite ’ successful. There were many good ideas, although they were often too general for specifics.” Manning and Ferrabee had quite different opinions. Manning said the conference was “very nice, but not effective. The people

Said Keyworth, “We used to think in the U.S. that knowledge and people would move automatically from the lab to the factory, as if’we could simply put pure research in at one end of a pipeline and extract useful technology at the other. . . We relied too heavily on the ‘if we can go to the moon we can do anything’ attitude about technology.” Keyworth told the conference how this arrogance on the part of past U.S. administrations had cost the United States its hold on industrial leadership. He also said that ‘the only way for Americans to fight their way, back to the top was through strong support of a quality educational system and close ties between R&D labs in schools and factories,. He also said he had absolutely no use for government laboratories, and offered one of his to Minister Johnston for one . dollar. The 700 were divided into groups of approximately 40 to discuss such weighty tcpicsas“Technologyin Canada’s Future”, “Concerns about the Consequences of Change”, “Putting the Technology in Place” and “Adjusting to Change”. . Each round-table discussion was led by a chairperson. The discussion rooms were equipped with state-of-the-art sound

systems in Ottawa’s new conference centre, two translators for English and French, and a note-taker. Why a tape recorder wasn’t included in all this expense is a mystery. The note-takers were not trained stenographers, only taking down the points they felt were relevant. If the government was serious about soliciting the ideas of the assembled high-tech elite, they would haverecorded the round-tables, which yielded many fine suggestions. ix Frustration with the round-tables was alsoexpressed by UW’s Dr. Manning. “I found some workshop leaders were railroading their opinions into ‘what otherwise would have been stimulating discussions. The note-takers bothered me as well. The upshot of this is that I left at noon on the second day of the conference.” Dr. Wright was also slightly mystified by some of the proceedings. “The most important revelation for me was in the Prime Minster’s opening comments where he inferred in his speech that technology holds more of a threat than a promise.” “I was *also fascinated by the division of optimism and pessimism in the views expressed at the conference,” said Wright.

To the editor: . Regarding‘ both the offensive nature of the November 4th engineering society parade, and its serious attendant disruption of legitimate academic activities, especially mi@terms in progress, I must join with others’ protestations against such an irresponsible behaviour. In consideration of B. A. Ryan’s letter (Imprint, Nov. 11) expressing her disgust, we must indeed wonder why the campus security, paid to uphold the law, failed to stop this shameful event, why the university administration has been unable to control this type of activity, and why the Federation of Students

ours must try its best to create an enthusiastic environment for its members in an attempt to put a little life into their university years. If attempts to do this are somewhat untraditional dr unconventional and contravene certain, standards then we sincerely apologize. We point out however that all of us only learn from our mistakes, as we have learned from- this one. Engineering afterall is not an exact science but one of Deni.s Vah Decker., experimentation and error.

To the editor: With regard to the Engineering Society parade of Friday, November 4, 1983-I * would like to offer Eng Sot’s views on the issue. Let me first point out that Eng Soc’is by far the most active society on campus. Most events planned and organized by the Engineering Society are well attended and successful. All serve to create enthusiasm among engineering undergraduates and help break up the monotony and depression that a heavy work load usually brings. Also because Eng Sot is such an active society we often “test the waters” or “break ground” by trying new events and instituthg new ideas - often at a financial loss. Some of these ideas or events may indeed be untraditional or not within society’s accepted norms - but none are done with any intended malice or harm. The Engineering Society admits it was indeed in violation of Policy 33 and wishes to.publicly apologize here to Professor D. Dudycha and the Geography 202 class. As well, formal written apologies to the above are forthcoming. The Engineering Society Executive is concerned that the intrusion even occurred in the first place and will make every attempt in the future to see it is not duplicated. In our own defense we point out that the interruption was not deliberate and again no malice was intended. The parade had no planned route and the disruption of the class was the result of an unfortunate set of circumstances. Furthermore, because of the large number of people that attended the parade it was difficult to control their actions. Every attempt was made by myself and other executive membei-s to stop the parade’s advance into the midterm room. Enthusiasm however had taken over at that point and it was impossible to alter the crowd’s direction. We make no excuses for this and realize it rkpresents negligenci on our part. We overestimated somewhat our ability to control the individuals in the parade. This will not happen again. Finally we reiterate OUI- apologies and assurances that this event will not be duplicated. We also however ask concerned individuals to try to see the issue from our viewpoint before making rash judgements. An active and growing society such as e \

lotithing T and the ‘parade: &diva’@ rideis wrong

I To the editor Two weeks ago, at the beginning of Engineering Week Two, a large number of students at this University were exposed to a tasteless and offensive adventure staged by our, own Engineering Society. Because some people, notably engineers, believe that it was an Engineer named Tom who peeked when Lady Godiva made her famous ride, it seems that it is s?omething of a tradition at some Vniversities to re-stage the event. It would now seem that there is a danger of a similar tradition being established here. The Executive of the Federation of Students hopes that this does not happen. PBrading ,a semi-naked woman in public with the intent of trying to shock and humiliate as many people as possible is’something that should not be tolerated, and the interruption of classes and exams is something that must not be tolerat‘ed. Dennis Vandecker, the President of Engineering Society “B” and by his own admission the architect of the event, has promised the Federation that ‘the Engineering Society will never again sponsor’or promote this type of event. We accept this, but we also feel very strongly that an apology should be made to the classes which were interrupted, and that a public apology should be proffered through Imprint. We at thk Federation hope this incident will soon be forgotten and that there willnever be cause to remember it in the future. Tom Allison

And the situation is getting worse, according to a Statistics. Canada study published this June. Statistics Canada attributed the decline in legal abortions being performed to a stricter interpretation of the law, lack of facilities, and pressure from antiabortion groups. So this is what the clinicsstruggle isallabout: it’s overthe right of women to access to abortion.

Otherwise our ability to exercise all our other rights is in jeopardy. How can women play an equal role in society, how can we achieve equality in the workplace, if we are constantly burdened down with pregnancies we do not want? Today there is no 100 per cent safe and effective birth control. Birth control information in the schools is pitifully inadequate. In this situation women must have access to abortions.-This is their only recourse if they become pregnant and do not want to bear a child. It’s for these reasons that the right to abortion is fundamental to the entire struggle for women’s liberation. It’s not some narrow “women’s issue”. Women’s susceptibility to pregnancy is something the ruling class has always exploitedto lock women into their oppressed status, to keep women in their place. They use it to trap women within the family, tied-down to the role of housewifeand mother. They use it to justify discrimination against women in the workforce. We’ve all heard the argument:it’s not worth training her for a better job; she’ll only go and get pregnant. ’ ’ The clinics pose a fundamental challenge to all this..They cut across all the roadblocks, delays, bureaucratic hassles, and red tape imposed by the abortion laws. They enable women who want them to have abortions in safety<and dignity, free of the humiliation and emotional strain associated with trying to obtain legal abortions today. That’s why this struggle is. so important. l Aleia Di Paola I-iKLS

Ta the; editor: From Victoria, B.C. to St. John’s, Nfld., throughout English Canada and in Quebec, thousands of people participated in the first binational day of action for choice on abortion since tl& early ’70s. ~ The current campaignis being built in defense of the clinics established in Toronto and Winnipeg by Morgentaler. The clinics provide women with request, and thus pose a head-on challenge to the Under Canadian law, abortions are illegal certain highly restricted circumstances. They can only be performed if, in the opinion of a therapeuticabortion committee, continuation of the pregnancy would endanger the woman’s life or health. And they must be performed inanaccredited hospital. Only 237 hospitals have abortion committees and even fewer perform abortions. In 198 1, 73 per cent of abortions -were performed in 15 per cent of hospitals. There are whole areas of the country where it is simply impossible for a woman to obtain an abortion.

To the editor: File “A”, Disc III In response to Dian Leclair‘s response to my letter of Oct. 21, I would like to make the following comments. First, I am not trying to oversimplify the probiem of unwanted pregnancy. I ‘realize that there is a lot of fear involved, when a woman finds herself unintentionaIly pregnant. I realize that the choices one has to make are extremely difficult. I realize that men are often unsupportive in an unwanted pregnancy situation. I realize that raising children requires financial and emotionalsacrifice. Yet, I wil1 never be convinced that- these ’ problems are adequate justification for abortion.

To the editor: Once again Mr. George ‘Elliott Clarke presents halfbaked pap for leavened bread in his November 4, 1983, Speeches column titled Rev. Jesse Jackson for President. This article predicts that a Jackson-lead Presidentialcrusade, on behalf of disadvantaged Americans, would significantly dampen the forces of racial unrest in the United States of America. *I Please recall at in’ April 1968, the “most colourful, warm, and articulate” -Mr. Jackson made (unsubstantiated) statements concerning Martin Luther King’s dying, moments on the hotel balcony in his(Jackson’s)arms,and broadly displayed a presumably (King) blood-stained handkerchief before the press corps. These actions alone .: did much to heighten the state of popular tension in an already emotion-charged situation. - Perhaps the Americans (and certain Canadians)should seriously consider the propriety of ‘merely exchanging one actor for another in 1984.

motherhood .

-\roductive capabilities. First, I as a woman, do not want to be pitied. I am proud of being a woman. I think I have a lot to offer society. 1 don’t consider myself poor. I feel capable of providing for an educating myself. If I have any children, I will provide for them too - even if it means financial and educational sacrifice. As women, our ability to have children may sometimes be viewed as more of a problem then a blessing, but 1 do not view it as’a curse. The potential for having children is sometimes a joy and sometimes a fear, so it needs to be taken responsibly. It’s a beautiful thing, a deIicate thing and a-painful thing that we are able to reproduce, but I would not trade places with a man if given a choice. 1 am happy that someday my body will be a safe and warm home for my developing baby, wheter I’m ready for him or her, or not. Mother hood should never be looked down upon. Qur ability to cotribute to the work.force is not more special than o&ability to have children. Wehave such a selfish attitude in this society. We,have one of the highest standards ofliving, plenty of food and space to live. We have government programmes to lean on if we have financial difficulty. Yet, overseas we allow people to starve in sub-human conditi6ns. ,On the home-front we feel imposed upon if our lovemaking should result in conception. Thus we try to eliminate the inconvenience of a’baby by killing it. What’s worse, we try to justify it with feeble excuses. , -

Have you really thought about what happens to that baby? He or she (yes, a baby alread has genitaIs at 2 l/2 months after conception) is torn apap/rt limb by limb. Would the sight of a tiny severed hand or foot bring your conscience back to life? How aboutrknowing that at2 months(whenmostab.ortionsaredone) the digestive track, liver, heart, brain -waves are already functioning. What about in the States where abortions can be done up to nine months ? We are following in the States’ footsteps. Would you like to see, in Canada, a time when a woman can walk into an abortion clinic8 months pregnant, have her womb injected with salt, have the baby thrash about in her womb for hours, its flesh burning, then go into labour and give birth to a fully-formed dead baby? I do not consider the reasons you stated to bejustificationfor this type oftreatment. I would be horrified if this were done to a dog, let alone a human being.

Dian, you like many other pro-choice people have totally avoided the baby when presenting your argument for abortion. In fact, you have stated that “the real issue is notwhether women want abortions and consequently are killing babies, but that they cannot afford to have children.” Whereare your priorities? Since when are money and trips more important than human lives?

In shortjthese people are 1 fighting and dying for their freedom, not for any “Communist con+spiracy”. ’ If the United States truly desir& peace, deinocracyand stability ln Latin America, it should ship food, not arms, to these largelyHispanic states, absolutely denourice the military regimes and promote land reform, force the transnational corporations to pay higher wages and improve working conditions, and establish free schools for the peasantry. This is the best program for fighting “Communist aggression”, and for establishing democracy in the region. ~Let the United States adopt - and implement - the Bolshevik slogan of revolutionary Russia - “Bread, Land, Peace” - andthe ,’ multitudes of Latin’ America will flqck to its standard.

Neither jail&g, torturing, and executing suspected guerlllas nor declaring war on supposedly hostile governments (for instance, that of Nicaragua) will bring peace to Latin America. Only by addressing the real cause of-unrest and rebellion in that geopolitical area will a way to peace be-four-id. The causes of violence are not Cuban-trained, Soviet-armed guerlllas or national armies, Communist propaganda, or any other such nonSense. The causes are fo;nd: in nations whkre wealthy, powerful, landowning elites, in co-operation with transnatlonal ‘fruit and sugar companies, control national armies and police forces, and usk them to keep the great numbers of Latin Americans working the plantations, and in the factories, as impoverished, illiterate peasants. The movements for social change and economic justice now flourishing. in Central and South America have arisen from the peasants’ desires for freedom, food, education, land reform, better wages and working conditions, the realization of a loving faith (not “liberation” theology and its advocacy of violence, but the social gospel as preached by James), and the end of murders

’ I do not appreciate being called an anglel. I am not expecting people to act sinlessly. All 1 am aski.ng is that people live up to their responsibilities by allowing their conceived offspring to be born. All I am asking is that the killing be stopped: I don’t think that’s an unrealistic expectation. Yes,. ther eis pain invol-ved i neach of the options (single parenthood, marriage, and adoption), but it’s a lot less pain than knowing you killed your , own child. It’s alot less pain than your baby would experience 5 during the abortion. Taking responsibility for your life is painful, but it is mature, moral and life-giving. You are right when you say, “It is not nice to kill.” It certainly isn’t. It is not nice to be rejected by your own mother either. It is not nice to be unable to speak for your rights. It is not nice to not have rights. It is not nice to be mutilafed, It is not nice to kill. / Cirrolyn Karn Cl

ce in In the aftermath of the killing of almost 300 US ’ marines and French paratroopers in Beirut, people appear to be more confused than ever about what is going on in Lebanon, and why. In this part of the world, confusion comes easily for there are approximately 40 armed factions vying for power. A complicating factor is the tendency for some analysts, usually North American, to reduce the conflict in Lebanon to one of religious sectarianism. The facts just don’t support this contention: Moslems and Christians are presently fighting on all sides of the conflict. The history of Lebanon makes it clear, though the fighting has been cqmplicated by a religious factor, that the war was caused and is being fought by all sides fundamentally for political and economic reasons. The seeds of the modern day problem of Lebanon were planted in 1920, when Lebanon was occupied by colonial France. Lebanon was actually an artificial creation. The territory which eventually became Lebanon was carved, by the French, out of what was then Greater Syria. There were many reasons for the French to create Lebanon, but the most important was that it would be controlled by the Maronite Christian community. This Maronite Christian community, comprising 34% of the population in 1921, had long been closely tied to the French. In short, a Maronitedominated Lebanon would act as a fortress against a Moslem world and facilitate France’s desire to extend her influence into the Arab world. A parliament was established in which the various relgious communitites.were represented in proportion to their respective populations. The big three populations in 1921, in order of size were, Maronite Christians, Sunni Moslem and Shiite Moslem. In 1932 a census was taken which indicated that the big three had changed to Maronite Christians 29%, Sunni Moslems 23% and Shiite Moslems 20%. These changes were due to cultural and economic factors. Shiite Moslems, who were largely lowincome farmers, favoured large families. The smaller urban families of the Maronite community were more inclined to emigrate to western Europe and North America. The Maronites who controlled the Lebanese government, realizing that their dominance in the Lebanese parliament was becoming less legitimate with the changing demography of the country, have seen to it that no other census was ever taken. Over the years the Maronite Christians have used their political power to increase their economic wealth. Coirespondingly, for Moslems, opportunity for advancement in traditional Lebanese economic areas of enterprise, like banking, has been far more restricted. According to an article written by Dr. M. Zamir, published in the Spring 1982 issue of the Israeli periodical, the Jerusalem Quarterly, the big three populations in Lebanon today are Shiite Moslems 29%, Sunni Moslems 20% and Maronite Christians 15%. Even though the Maronite community has lost grounds, demographically, to the other -

communities, Christian as well as Moslem, they still maintain a six to five ratio advantage in the Lebanese parliament. _ The need for a redistribution of political power is evident. The civil war of 1975 broke out only after efforts to achieve reforms peacefully were frustrated. A simple redistribution of power might be enough to stop the fighting for the time being. However, in the final analysis, the way to bring lasting peace to Lebanon is to establish a truly democratic system of government. This brings us back to the American role in Lebanon. The United States, in late August 1982, sent Marines into Lebanon along with French and Italian troops. The purpose of this was to provide security for the Palestinian civilians in the refugee camps and to act as peace keeping troops tc, facilitate a national reconciliation which would end the civil war. The much publicized massacres in the Shatila and Subra refugee camps are testimony to the MultiNational Force’s failure in their first endeavour. With reference to the peace-keeping role, Eric Rouleau, a long time Middle East correspondent for Le Monde, stated that the United States has been taking sides in the Lebanese civil war. On Sunday, 23, 1983, during a television interview he cited that the Americans have been regarding the government of Lebanon as being not only legal but legitimate. As Rouleau said, “by definition in a civil war you have groups warring with each other and the legitimacy of the government is being contested”. Secondly, Rouleau pointed out that the Marines have been supplying and training the Lebanese army, which is actually controlled by and serves the interests of the Maronite minority. The Americans and similarly the French have ceased to be neutral and therefore can no longer serve in a “peace-keeping” role in Lebanon. Rather by taking sides, both forces have become combattants in a civil war and as such become legitimate targets for attack. To regard the truck bombings of the French and American compounds, as Vice President Bush does, as an act by “terrorist cowards” is to miss the reason for the attack. After all the Italians, still considered to be neutral, have not been attacked. American support for the Maronite faction, as Kissinger indicated in mid-September, is based on the fear that national reformation of the Lebanese political system would result in the formation of a government less “friendly” to the United States. In other words, if the democratization of Lebanon is not in the interest of the United States, then it should be opposed. With strong American support, the Maronite Christian minority have little incentive to offer long overdue concessions to the majority of the country’s population. The tragic loss of lives, not just American, is likely to be prolonged by this self-serving American policy. Changing political fortunes will inevitably manifest themselves. The Lebanese catastrophe shows clearly what happens when a government is either unable or unwilling to adjust to or reflect these changes. James Kafieh

Last wkek Conrad Grebd College, alqng with the Music Department and the Institute for P,eace and Conflict Studies, sponsored a Peace and the Arts Festival. The festival was a week-long event to explore the avenues f in which the arts speak to peace and conflict. The programme was designed to afford students the opportunity to attend in the evenings and on the weekend, but few did. In the evenings an international series of well knownclassic films with major directors presented the views of the horror,‘destruction, irony and the oppression of-war. The films were presented in five successive evenings at St. Jerome’s College. Some of thdfilms included were Milestone’s, 1930, All Quiet on the Western Froqt, Chaplin’s, 1940, The Gre$t Dictator, 2 * Watkin’s, 1965, The War Game and Bergman’s, 1968, Shame. Throughout .the week the films were supplemented with .a variety of art displayed at Conrad Grebel, including paintings, watercolours and photographs. The festival continued into the weekend withaconglomeration of dance, mime, children’s concert, poetry readings and on Sunday, November 13th, Conrad Grebel ended the festival in a special chapel service with a premiere performance of Leonard Enn’s new composition, Prayerfor Peace.

Dancers unique. but -broke

by Catherine Frid Imprint staff The Peace And The Arts Festival presented a diverse selection in its international film series last week. Two‘of the classics, The Great Dictator by Charlie Chaplin (1940) and Rossellini’s Rome, Open City (1945), illustrate the range of views presented in the series. The Great Dictator was Chaplin’s last film to achieve wide public appeal. While it does contain Chaplin’s hilarious fryingpan-over-the-head humour, it also has an overtly serious statement to make. In the film, Chaplin plays both a Jewish barber living in a ghetto and Hynkel, an undisguised characterization of Hitler (We are assured at the film’s start that any similarities between the\ barber and Hynkel are purely coincidental.). There are some wonderfully Chaplinesque scenes: the barber gives a shave orchestrated perfectly to Brahm’s Hungarian Dunce, and Hynkel, dreaming of being Emperor of the World, performs a coy ballet with his world globe. Some comic scenes, though, including one in which Hynkel literally manipulates the press microphones to wilt like flowers under his verbal assault, do have serious undertones. Chaplin is subtly underlining some of his humour with.pointed criticism. The film’s moralistic ending drew disfavour with his contemporary audiences because it abruptly changes the film’s tone from comic parody to an earnest plea for peace. The closing scene- of The Great Dictator is a monologue by the barber who, as usual, through a series of impossible coincidences, is <addressing a Party of the Double Cross (aka Nazi) rally. He states, “We all want to help one another -everyone is like that,” and quotes from the gospel of Luke, “The kingdom of God is within man.” Ironically, this speech peaks like a harangue by Hitler and, * -appropriately enough, the crowd cheers wildly at its end - not , for the content but for his style. Chaplin believed ridicule to be as effective as “serious propaganda”, but still tacked a plea for peace onto his film. The Great Dictator was Chaplin’s first political statement and while it is a bit disjointed, ‘it is very , powerful. ’ Rossellini’s film is famous largely for stylistic reasons: Rome, Open City was the first neo-realist film made, was shot on location in Rome (not studio made), and used some’ nonprofessionals who acted roles from their own lives. In addition, the film was made with/little equipment and scraps of flime - just weeks after the Nazi troops left Rome. Rossellini, a wealthy young filmmaker for Mussolini’s fascist regime,+covered

during the bulldozing sequence overpowered the Indian woman’s subtle anguish. The most effective piece was set to a Chilean poem which ,was translated and then sung in Spanish, recounting the disappearance of a-peasant woman. In Hay una Muier Desaparecida, slow, stylized movements captured the motion of women labouring in a field until one of them is dragged off by a hooded figure.. The fear creeps up-and overtakes those remaining.

by Kirsten Gunter Imprint staff Ruah is the Hebrew word for spirit, breath, wind - one word that expresses some pretty powerful images. For the dance group that performedFriday night as part of the Peaceand the Arts festival on campus, it was a name well chosen. What this small, unique dance ensemble lacks in technical”polish it more than makes up for in spiritual amibition. Here is a troupe with a political conscience dancing works of social relevance with an evangelical fervour. Other than having a strongly Christian message, they do not profess to preach while they dance; but the themes of brotherhood, love and peace do recur - heavy stuff for this jaded generation! Perhaps the performance Power Peace was so named as a result of the current attitude. All the works choreographed for the event were .characterized by their beautiful and aptly chosen music, often with accompanying texts. This occasionally worked as a disadvantage, making the choreography seemweak and repetitive in comparison.. Problems arose when the dance tried to be as literal-as the text. This was the case for the haunting evocation of an Indian mother-who sees her child’s grave desecrated by the while, land “developers”. Unfortunately, the sound effects created by the dancers

With such uncompromising motivations and high aspirations, Ruah clearly does not fit into the average performance category. But if their .will to survive is -as strong as the will with which they strive to convey their point, one can only hope they will succeed in finding other hospitable situations for work such as theirs. With the political climate that is presently enveloping the world, it would be a shame to see such a unique dance company disappear for purely economic reasons. This was their last performance until further financial backing is obtained.

He then spoke of the persons who think they are secuie behind the metaphorical fencing around their homes and said, “Peace is awake, it never sleeps, it cannot and it must not. Peace is conscience, and conscience is active and is the only thing that will keep usalive. If we don’t realize this, we become prisoners sentenced to death.” Findley is a calm, soft&poken person very much in ’ control of his mind, and was in control of the audience when he led a discussion on the difficulties the artist has in successfully addressing peace through art. He has received much acclaim and adulation for the film, The Wars, which he wrote the screenplay for, and said, “The film goes a hell of a long way to raise the conscience of the book.” Unfortunately, the attendance was small .with an intimate‘group of thirty people, but the impact was great on those who did attend.

by Deborah Austin Imprint staff - Timothy Findley graced the Great Hall at Conrad Grebel College with an I address entitled Writers: Prisoners of Conscience as a contribution towards the , Peace and the Arts Festival last Saturday afternoon. Findley, who was born in Toronto and trained as a professional actor and director in England, decided in 1960 to turn his hand to writing novels, short stories and plays, as well as scripts for film, television and radio. His novel, The Wars, was published in 1977 and was released last Friday as a major Canadian film. Findley is a member of Amnesty International and spoke to his audience about artists who have opposed the indignities of war and government, and who were imprisoned, tortured and drugged for their conscientious efforts.

, and wanted to see the Third World,” one group member said with a laugh. Another said that after having taken a number of courses on the Third World and development,’ he “just had to go there and see what it’s really about.” “I knew India would give me a chance to be shocked.” explained another .+ UW traveller. The first such “shock”.the students experienced, was having to drop their preconceptions about India. As one group member put it, there had simply been “no way to prepare for it”. For instance, never before had they seen “so many people at one time in one place. . . It was anarchy, utter chaos.” As well, “everything was brown; there was no other colour.” In brief, the group found itself having to adjust to a whole new situation. “Everything was foreig? the first few days,” one member recalled. others said that the “unbelievably squalid” conditions, the numbers of people who did not have “anything to eat”, and the dirt that was everywhere in big cities Jook some getting used to, but that, once they had adopted a different set of values, it “wasn’t so bad”. The different dress styles in India also caught the attention of the students. They stated that Indian men tend to wear s&h Western clothes as “tight, polyester, bellbottom pants”, while women wear the traditional, cotton saris. Howe,ver, middle-class women were said’to wear chiffon or polyester saris. I asked the students if any of them had worn a sari duringthetrip.Onesaidshehadthoughttheideatobe “sexist” at first, for it “pissed (her) off” that women wearing Western clothes were seen by Indian men as being “easy”. However, she did wear one and found it to be cool but somewhat cumbersome: “It was necessary to squat for a leak,” she said. Another student,pronounced the sari to be “hotter” than her regular clothes. But both students agreed that when wearing the sari, they were “noticed”: “clothes make a difference,” they commented. “The whole country is hung up on sex;” one stud&t asserted, moving the discussion from the consideration of clothing to that of sexualit$ “After all, it has 750,000,OOO people!” A fellow traveller claimed that “Indian men were always eyeing women.” (But one explanation for this practice was that it generally occurred’ in situations where few women were around.) Other students said that the Indians, due to the conflict between their religion and Western courtship, marriage and sexual customs and mores, were very curious about sex, and so, asked them a lot of questions. These questions were very personal (“Do you live, sleep, with your boyfriend?” “When did you lose your virginity?“, etc.) but were a&ked “out of honesty”. Differences between city and country in India were also addressed. The students stated that over 80 per cent of the populace live in rural areas, with the richest living mainly in cities. They reported that

The land of the Bhagayd-Gita, beggars, and btahmin. , But despite,these image - or perhaps because of have little knowledge of them - North Americans what India is really like. Recently 27 UW students, along with an Environmental Science professor, Dr. Sehdev Kumar, got the chance to gain first-hand knowledge of India. The India Study Group (1983) left for the country in January, and returned in May. While overseas, the students - a mix of Man-Environment, Planning, Geography, Arts, and‘lntegrated Studies majorslearned a lot about India and about themselves. L They got together recently to discuss their trip, and I joined them, curious about thei; perceptions of a nation so different from, and so ancient than, our own. Hence, after a potluck supper of beans, stew, salad, br$ad, rice pudding, fruit drinks, and scotch whiskey, and after a slide show of their trip, the students to!d me of the love and the squalor,* and the glory and the pain of modern India. It was a night I will never-forget. The following, then, is a condeu-sed version of what I saw and heard. Illustrating India’s incredible diversity, the slide show was beautiful. Slides ranged from shots of the students, (wreathed with garlands of flowers, and wide-eyed with amazement at their first view of India) riding a ramshackle bus into Bombay to a portrait of 9 father and his two young children posing proudly in a playground. Other stills showed brightly-dressed but barefoot children walking to school across a dusty field; white-robed and turbanned cobra trainers Playing the been (a type of pipe); a man pouring glasses of restaurant water down an elephant’s throat; a group of townspeople spraying colours on each other in a religious festival. Some of the more impressive slides suggested the grandeur of India: views of ornate temples somehow carved out of cliffs; dawn-at the Taj Mahal, the sun gleaming on its white minarets, marble brick, goldleaf dome, and mirroring water; Equally impressive slides suggested its simplicity: scenes df hqrsedrawn rickshas, carved elephants, placid monkeys, baskets heaped with green and gold bananas, and markets jammed with people. The slides showed, in brief, beauty and poverty, green rice paddies and dung logs. Yet, S saw nothing. Pictures-only scratch the surface of any culture. It takes the experience of other people to give one insight into another culture or land. So it was for me. I learned about the soul of India from the students. I asked them why they went on the trip. Their answers were frank. “I was fucking sick of school ”

the urban poor scavenge for food (“go through t garbage”), shine shoes, and beg, while the rura poor live by roadsides or in “thatched, makeshii huts” and generally do,the best they can with VI ’ little they have. In fact, one student said that the average lifespan of Indian peasants is 45 years, in the cities, homelessness is such a problem tt traffic island is not that but merely “habitable space” - a bit of land for a few people to live or I asked the students to describe Their most ‘7 frightening moments in India.

e language barrier and government bureaucracy. The members of the party noted many differences !tween Canadian and Indian lifestyles. “Issues at confront you here are trivial; in India, they are ucial,” asserted one student. Another said that 1 everything is precious” in India; for instance, :owshit is used for fuel to cook food.” As well, iveiyone is industrious.” Another.student ’ Iserved that the overprocessing of food that occurs North America does not occur in India.

that iscommon here. In fact, one traveller told how, in one hotel, as he undressed to take a shower, a gentleman hung up each piece of clothing as he took it off, and then; the gentleman, fully dressed, stepped into the student’s’shower and turned it on for him, getting soaked in the process:The group explained that this type of elaborate service is due to an economy that tries to employ as many people as possible. I asked the sojourners what they thought they had learned from their travels. Their answer was very positive. One said he had learned to “respect others a lot more”. Another said he had “become more sensitive to people’s emotions”. Another stated she can now “do a lot more with less”, and listens more to others. The students learned a lot in other ways as well. While in India they researched the park system, rural development projects, forestry management, international development programs, water L systems, recreational programs, and women’s issues. They also gained a new perspective on Canada. They learned the value of “sanitary things”, the preciousness of a glass of water, and the luxury of relatively clean streets. One member of the party said that he “looks at (his) stools a lot more.” Another said that she now notices the “many similarities” between Canada and India (especially the universality of bureaucracy). She stated that after returning to Canada and getting a _ job with the Ontario Government, she “could have walked through Queen’s Park and seen a cow” and it would not have seemed out of place. Would the students return to India, I wondered. “Yes,” said one. “I think about it every day.” Another felt she had “left a lot of loose ends:” The general feeling was that they would like to return for a longer stay -someday. “I never felt so free in all my life,” exclaimed one member of the party, summing up the beauty of the trip. And much was beautiful: “trekking through the snow in the Himalayas in Nepal”; visiting the., markets where vegetables, fruits, scarves, purses, and much more were “piled in attractive forms” like works of art; going through “thedesert toward Jaisalner (a fort in the middle of the Thar Desert near Pakistan), and waking at 6 a.m. to see peacocks fly across the sand and camels plodding along”; and the sunsets and sunrises so gorgeously red and gold. The UW travellers also enjoyed the food and drink of India. E&/i, a basic meal of white rice boiled with vegetables, was said to taste great, while Indian beer was a favoured thirst-quencher. After such a catalogue of-delights, concerns, perceptions, and observations, I could not see how anyone could sum up the experience. But someone did; someone found the words: “ltwas life. It was like the dance of life.” It was indeed. i

The hit musical play on national tour! Relive the 60’s all to the beat of live rock & roll music

Sun., Nov. 27 8 o.m. Humanities

After spending the past two years wandering aimlessly in search of direction, UB40 has finally regained consciousness and returned to the roots of reggae and the roots of their own melodic, dubwise runnings. Labour of Love consits entirely of UB40 playing ‘eighties style’ versions of the music they grew up with and hold nearest and dearest: songs recorded by reggae artists between 1969 and 1972. Apparently music of this sort is appreciated by others as well as the album’s first single release Red Red Wine, written by none other than Neil Diamond, which made it to the number one position on the U.K. charts. This revitaiized mix, however, serves as just the aparitif to a feast of intoxicating delights. Their current U.K. single, Please Don’t Make Me Cry, is very tasty. True to the traditional lover’s rock form, the song is carried by a slow churning bass line filled-out with strong percussion provided by Jim Brown’s synthesized drumming and Astro’s use of wood blocks and sticks. A distant saxophone accompanies Aii Campbell’s lead vocals, creating a laid-bat k meianc holy reminiscent of The Earth Dies Screarningandl Think It’s Going to Rain Today from their earliest (and most inspired) recordings, which were done on the Graduate label. The aiburn’s first song, Cherry Oh Baby, may be familiar to some, being covered inthe

and

Blue

Campbell’s superb singing is best exhibited in Keep On Mouing. He uses his down-trodden voice to clearly convey the sadness in Bob Mariey’s lyrics, yet manages to let enough hope shine through to transform its potential dreariness into moving inspiration. Ail the while Brian Travers’ fluid sax flows in and out of the throbbing beat to further thicken the already rich UB40 sound. In many cases, the sometimes rough production of the original versions have been polished to a shine, making the songs more accessible to the masses. Becausedf this there may be some that will criticize UB40 for “mainstreaming” reggae; but to me, and possible UB40, if mainstreaming can introduce someone to the simple grace of Reggae or encourage someone to seek its roots and become familiar with Bob Mariey, Jimmy Cliff or Winston “Groovey”Tucker, then I’m ail for it. Their musical legacy holds too many important lessons to go unnoticed any longer. With the help of UB40, hopefully more people will share in its wealth. If there was every any doubt as to why UB40 is one of the best loved and most respected bands in the U.K., Labour of Ldve shouldlay them gently to rest. e

On Friday, October 28th the University of Waterloo Engineers held a costume Haiiowe’en party at the Transyivania Club, featuring the band Coiored Edges as the night’s entertainment. Coiored Edges is a fairly recent band that, at the moment, is playing the university/college circuit. The show consisted of two sixty minute sets, with the first set comprised mainly of cover versions of songs by such bands as Flock of Seagulls, Tears for Fears, Orchestral Manoeuvres, in the Dark, and Thompson Twins. They handled the covers well, and instead of trying to copy the songs exactly, they succeeded in doing the songs in a way that allowed them to add their own personality. The second set was dominated by original material, which was in a similar vein to the cover songs. Most of the original material was written by Dominic Decicco (vocaiist-guitarist) and Vince Decicco (synthesizer) before the band was settled; with the newer songs

were a collaboration among the four piece band, which includes Ken Jepson (synthesizer) and the Trinidad Kid (percussionist), formerly with The Villains, as well as the Deciccos. The Trinidad Kid’s playing was exceptional and added much flavour, but he seemed restrained working in a synthesizer-dominated band alongside a drum machine.Speciai mention should be made of soundman Chris James, who was able to give Coiored Edges their polished and professional sound, even in an auditorium of acoustical horror with three wails of concrete blocks ready to bounce the music ail over. In the future, Coiored Edges will continue dropping cover versions of songs and adding more original material. They will continue playing the university/college circuit and are beginning to work on demo tapes in hopes of achieving a future recording contract with a major label. Hopefully the next time they come to Waterloo they won’t be such a secret. Their music is deserving of attention.

Stones rise fkorn the dead by don

Rolling Stones Uqdercouer WEA

So far, all the reviews of the Rolling Stones’ latest, Undercover, have been more than favourable. In ,fact, the Globe and Mail and Rolling Stone even went so far as to compare it to Exile onMainStreet, thestones’album to which all others can only aspire. Of course, these same publications said the same thing about Some Girls, and the only similarity between the three albums is that they area11 by the same groulj. And while% would be great to dsicover some flaw in Undercover to discredit all those reviewers, there’s none to be found. Where it ranks in comparison to Exile on MainStreet I’ll leave to the dedicated Stones conoisseur, but suffice it to say that Undercover will be remembered as one of the Stones’ best. The biggest reason for this is the performance of Jagger and Richards. They may still think of themselves as playboys and sex symbols, but at least they’ve managed to keep their drugs, booze and sordid romances out of the vinyl. Perhaps Richard’s brushes with the law and Jagger’s new found domesti$y as he prepares for fatherhood had some influence on this, but whatever the reasons, the album benefits tremendously.

One thing I did find interesting with Undercover though, is the inclusion of a flyer about the Rolling Stones Fan Club and The Rolling Stones Managazine in the album jacket. The memorabilia sale described on the flyer is similar to the Elvis commercialization; a direct conflict with quotes in recent interviews with the band insisting that the Stones have devoted themselves to music again after a period of placing other interests first and music second. But commercialism or not, the Rolling Stones have kept that aspect of the music business off the album - at least off most of it. The most over-rated song on the album is the title track and current single, Undercover. I’ve heard comments that its originality is its popularity, but for me it is too contrived and too obviously labelled “The Single” to be taken seriously. As with all Stones’ albums released since their first one, Undercover contains some remakes of older songs. Then again they sound so good the second time around that one can hardly complain. Also, the addition of such notables as David Sanborn, Sly Dunbar, Ian Stewart, and Chuck Leave11 beef-up the regular strong Stones’ line-up, giving the old sound a new dimension. Sanborn’s saxophone is especially appealing, something the Stones exploited to perfection on the Sticky Fingers album. .

One of the best remakes, musically, is Too Much Blood, which leads off the second and best side of the album. An extremely violent song that hints at cannibalism, the song fits in perfectly with the rest of the album. For some reason, Jagger and Richards are into blood, pain and suffering this time around, and Too Much Blood is the most blatant of the lot. Lyrically, the album could appeal to an interesting segment of society, but for most the best advice would be to avoid trying to pick out the words. Buyers of the album should definitely not feel slighted by the absence of a lyric sheet. Jagger, Richards and Wood teamed-up for one song, Pretty Beat Up, which is about as violent as the rest of the songs, all of which were written by Jagger and Richards, leading one to wonder just what the band is into these days. I maintain, however, that it is best not to delve too far into that, because it might spoil what is otherwise a great album. Musically it is as solid and dynamic as only the Stones can be, and, as usual, Jagger’s vocals are an extra instrument. Richards seems content to play, and avoids being as overbearing as only he can be. And Wood and Wyman are, well, Wood and Wyman. As a rabid Stones fan who has relgiously bought all their albums, although I did feel slightly ripped-off on occasion, Undercover is a welcome acquisition. Not only doesit stand by itself as a Stones album, but more

importantly it is a resurrection of a group that many felt had smoked, drank and injected c thier way into insignificance. After listing to Undercover a few times (actually about twelve times), I’m glad to say that that isn’t the case. Thegreatest rock band in the world lives on, and with Undercover have given notice that any pretenders to the throne are going to have to wait a while yet. I just wish they’d stop playing the worst cut from the album on the radio all the time!

Canadian band .s differ in quality by John H. Davey Imprint staff Images

Rational

Youth EP Capitol

There’s a big argument on these days about the effects of synthesizers on the quality of music. If you expect an answer to that question, read no further, it will only confuse you more. Two Canadian bands have recently surfaced as a byproduct of the current trend towards synthesizer music. The two have each released five song mini-LP’s (or whatever they call them these days). These indigenous groups do nothing to resolve the conflict of synthesizers. For those who wish to claim that synthesizers are cold and impersonal then you might wish to use Images in Vogue to support your case. This West Coast band of pretty people making ugly music is a perfect example of how quickly bands are irrationally formed and signed (and ultimately disband) in the current

fever of the music scene. Images in Vogue is realIy just another synthesizer band, much like Depeche Mode for whom they opened in Toronto recently, who are intrigued more with looks rather than their music and too busy copying the European style of music rather than creating their own. Unfortunately, these days that is what seems to sell records. The synthesizer inthe hands of Images in Vogue is a toy, setting up a few keys and then programming the synthesizer to repeat, repeat, and repeat. The five songs on this album are all cold, calculated and very monotonous. The singiqg of Dale Martindale is more than just a little plain, and Kevin Crompton on percussions is better off at his former employment - a clerk at Safeway. Mind you there’s not much difference between what he is doing now and what he was doing then pressing buttons. . There are two songs that have just a spark of excitement. Germans is not that bad, but sounds just a little too much like Kraftwerk. Lwsf for Love is a feeble attempt at the new romantic, a vein that ABC has already bled dry. But-just when you were ready to label the synthesizer as a tool of the devil and all that sort of thing, then I suggest you listen to

philosophy that since he’s not making money he might as well have fun.

Montreal’s Rational Youth. This group of talented and experienced musicians which . sprang from hard work rather thana basement somewhere has released on the heels of their much worshipped song Saturdays in Silesia a solid and energetic five song EP. Lead singer of the band, Tracey Howe, formerly of-the “other” Montreal b&d Men Without Hats and one of the better current Brit bands Heaven 17, heads Rational Youth with his Flash And The Pan-like vocals and synthesizers. The synthesizkrs are not a game to this _ -_ . . group. I‘hey are used to enrich and compliment the atmosphere of the music, much like Thomas Dolby does. This EP has packed into five songs more ‘punch than most albums do. Each song is a solid piece of work. My personal favourite is Ho/i&y in Bangkok; like the rest of the album it is good for dancing and for listening. Rational Youth’s name is apun on The National Youth Orchestra, shows a lot of promise and I can only hope that the rumors that have scorched my ears recently about them.breaking up can only be false. Their previous EP, Cold War Niiht Life, was more concerned with nuclear annihilation, but this EP deals with Tracy Howe’s

So there are really two sides of the synthesizer coin. Images In Vogue which acts as tails; and Rational Youth which is head and shoulders above the majority.

The lyrics also leave a lot to be desired, especially those, not surprisingly, written by Lewis & Co.

A lack of intelligent, meaningful lyrics may be excusable in dance music, but it only serves to make Huey Lewis and the Spews more worthless. But, in spite of how bad their music mi’ght be, Lewis will never have financial worries as long as there are gullible teenagers and AM radio. Lewis sings, “The heart of rock and roll is still beating”, but on Sports it seems to be suffe!ing from-a rather severe case of angina.

The first song on side one,. Does A Fool Ever Leain, is great. It is th& song that shows all of Helix’s str,engths .and none of their weakness& - not that they have any serious ones. The song has great potential on the charts and will undoubtedly establish Helix as one of Canada’s greatest heavy metal bands. Never Want to Lose You is the slow song on the album,. It is ,a good song but I’m sure many people will think it sounds- like every other slow metal song they have heard in t-he last ten years. But that is a common problem faced by all bands. It is actually quite flattering to Helix that they should even /be competing with bands like Def Leppard, Judas Priest and Vdn Halen, as well as any other bands people might accuse them of imitating. ‘What is in store for Helix in the’future is hard to say. Nothing but more success I hope. They will be touring with Kiss in Eurbpe soon and after that it would be nice to see Helix leading their own tour. Good -luck to Helix in the future, and to all those metal fans out there that are willing to throw out their antique Zeppelin ’ albums and give something new a chance. Buy the album - it’s pretty good.
