After a rctendcring process ov’cr Christmas, after the first set of tenders came in ranging $400.000 plus over budget, the Federation of students preformed drastic surgery on the plans to prov,ide a structure that could be built for the money authorised by the referendum. The bar tending serv.&s will be prov,ided by Bar Services, the liquor licence still being held by, the Univ,crsity, the major change is that the new pub will hold a dining liquor licence. and will be able to be open seven days a week. The kitchen. shrunk as part of the cost-butting measure, will be able to provide pub-styvIe meals and serve as a holding and w,arming area for caterers. ’ Just who will run the kitchen has not been deiced yet. howev.er. Food Serv.ices hold the right of first refusal in assuming the contract. If Food Serv.&s declines to take the contract. it is suggested that Food Serv.ices will be run directly under the pub management. The Fed hall pub will be available to be booked by campus societies during the year with some restriction regarding access to prime nights like Friday or Saturday for semi-formals or wine and cheese socials. Tom Allison suggested that the prime time restriction might be one night a year for prime nights. while off-prime nights would be available on a more liberal basis. The Bombshelter is to be run at similar hours as the new pub. While there is no money currently budgeted to refurbish the Campus Center pub. it may be eventually be carpeted and made into a more comfortable. intimate lounge. If the two facilities can not be urn‘at a profitt’?he Bombshelter will either be shrunk. the hours restricted. or closed completely to restrict expenses. The name for the pub will be decided closer to the opening, probably by a contest conducted among students. The structure will retain the name “Federation hall”. Tom Allison suggests that since the title to the structure is vested in the University, the name Federation Hall would serve as a reminder of the students’ role in the building of the pub. The differential pricing policy for Fed events. which gives feepaying Fed members a discount not available to non-Fed effects. will probably be maintained in the cover charge structure. Bookings pohcy will be determined in the future.

Student Council:

Feds tinnounce 84-85 3y Dave Sider The last Student Council meeting before the start of spring term was held on Sunday, April 29, at I p.m. The main items of business were the new budget and the Eng Sot request for $50,000. Jeff -Wilson, Vice-President, Operations and Finance, announced some changes in the Health Insurance setup. The individual student fee has risen by $1.40. The stated reason was that the Federation has switched insurance firms from Mutual j Life to Confederation Life, and the new company was asking for higher fees to match payment demands. Under the existing system, an insurance company is paid an administrative fee to manage the money pool created by student fees. Mutual Life paid out $5000 more than they received in student fees in the fiscal year 1983/84, so the Federation pulled out to avoid paying Mutual the deficit. Confederation Life felt that a fee increase would make the relationship a profitable one. Wilson also made it known that a new Scoops Manager, Caroline Machan, had been hired. Tom Allison, Federation President, announced that the Birth Control Center and the Women’s Center had received a Federal grant for summer employees. A total of five positions are open. Allison said that one needs to apply at Canada Student Manpower for the jobs. In replying to a question from Steve Sutherland regarding Clash tickets, Allison stated that 400 tickets had been held back for returning students. he admitted that -mistakes had been

made with UB40 and that they were learning on the job with been set up at a cost of $5,000, OFS fees of $40,000 have * catapulted the expenses of the External Liaison Commission, and these large big-name concerts. BENT is going to cost the Federation almost $20,000 less this year Allison went on to declare that the intial priority had been to sell out and that the secondary priority was to ensure that if all goes as planned. Federation members received tickets. Apparently 50% of the After relatively little discussion (there were limited copies of tickets have been sold to Fed students. the budget and most Council members had little chance to Next on the agenda was the ratification of the 1984/85 examine-the budget carefully) the 84/85 budget was accepted budget. The new budget of $308,035 has a projected deficit of easily by Council. $835. This can be compared to last year’s budget of $26 1,308 which Allison then brought up the hiring of Mike Ferrabee, as the had a projected deficit of $4,808. Wilson expressed the hope that summer editor of the Student Handbook, for Council approval. the various Fed services would avoid red ink this year. After listening to Allison and Wilson defend the selection of Administration had the largest increase in allocations from Ferrabee --Vice President, University Affairs in 1983/84 and $170,776 in 83/84 to $227,100 in 84/85.

VP-Academic busy, _ happy by Marlene Bergsma Imprint staff Forty-six year old Tom Brzustowski is Vice-president academic of the University of Waterloo. But what does he do when he’s not in Needles Hall? How does he spend his time after he puts in nine hours on campus each day‘? Brzustowski admits he doesn’t have much spare time todevote to his family, although they are his first priority. His relationship with his three teenage sons has been characterized by his decision to develop “an ability to do something different with each one of them, which is special between the two of us and doesn’t. involve the other two boys.” With 17-year-old John he goes on 30 or 40 mile bicycle rides in the summer, or discusses the latest book on math or science that John is reading. Fifteen-year-old Mark shares an interest in photography with his father, while 14-year-old Paul is an avid sports fan and soccer player, and Brzustowski attends all of his games. The attention he pays to his family is a result of his belief that time is the best thing hecangive them,and hesuspectsit may very well be the most important time he’s ever spent. Brzustowski’s wife, Louise, is a graduate student at UW, working on her Masters degree in French, and since his sons are “very conscientious at school, there are evenings when all five of (them) are at (their) desks, working away.” Only the family dog, Misty, has time to watch TV, jokes Brzustowski. When he does watch TV, Brzustowski’s favourite show is the BBC’s The TM~O Konnies, but he also enjoys SCTV, the last 10 minutes of Leaf games, the CBC news, and the occasional opera. In the past, he has used some of his spare time to serve on the board at the Stratford Festival, and the Kitchener-Waterloo Philharmonic Choir. He enjoys good-music of all kinds, and goes to choir and concert performances whenever possible. When he’s not engaged in some activity with his sons, Brzustowski reads, or dabbles in photography. In fact, if he had more free time, he would load up his camera, take one or two of his sons, and take a long walk

through the countryside, photographing winter scenery. Brzustowski also tries to participate in at least one physical activity a day - whether it’s squash, tennis, running, orskiingto offset the effects of a sedentary desk job. He has acquired a taste for the theatre, for opera, for symphony orchestras, for chamber music, for good books, good wine, good company, and good conversation. He feels a great responsibility towards thearts,and thinks that people who can afford it should donate time and money towards

‘this very important part of our cultural lives . . . by working towards a better, richer life here in Canada. (I) think we can perhapsdeal with all of these things . . . such as discrimination Having lived through the Second World and other injustices.” War, and with relatives still living in Poland now, Brzustowski is acutely conscious of the “downward spiral” of the state ofaffairs in his homeland. He can come close to despairing as he sees a “mind-numbing situation . . . which has absolutely no incentive for individuals,” which demoralizes people, and takes away their motivation. Brzustowski sees no solution to these problems, short of a change in the Polish political system. Brzustowski has never been in a K-W area nightspot in the twenty-one and a half years he has lived here, but his favourite restaurants are the Brittany and Tien Hoa, and he’s looking forward to the revival of the old Walper Hotel in Kitchener. His best memories of his undergraduate days at the University of Toronto stem from his involvement in the Engineering Society, and from the major physics course which he took in first year which “really opened (his) eyes to a lot of things.” Brzustowski has two bad memories of his undergraduate days. As part of a course on applied thermodynamics he had to crawl into a furnace through a door the size ofa sheet of paper, to count and measure the tubes inside. Looking out on to the world and “seeing the little hole (he) was supposed to get out of, through a wall of steel and brick” made him feel very uncomfortable. And Brzustowski remembers feeling very frustrated when he was unable to contact and meet with a supervisor of his fourth year thesis. The experience has left a mark on him, and now, when he teaches a course (as he often does) his students have top priority. In fact, even after nine years asa university administrator, hestill regards himself as a professor, “who has taken on some administrative work for a time.” The feature of hisjob that Brzustowski enjoys themost,is“the richness of intellectual contact” available on the university campus. And his one wish? - more time to sit and read and think and write.

,Transitions 84: Life afor graduation\ A Liberal arts education has often been characterized as “something to do until you had to find a job.” ” 1ransitions 84”, a one day conference on finding first employment for the arts grad, carried the message that there is success and satisfaction after graduation, often in nontraditional career paths. Betsy Zanna, co-ordinator of Transitions and secondary school and alumni liaison officer in the Arts Registrar Office, planned the conference to raise the awareness of the graduating arts student and to assist him or her in developing stronger job search strategies. Herb Hilderly, executive editor for Methuen Publications, discussed the expectations of the job seeker and potential conflict with the expectations and-attitudes of- the employer. One point that he stressed was that one should reevaluate oneself more to the employer’s expectations, to consider what you have to offer in the way of marketable skills. This would include looking at your time at university as time spent in the acquisition of skills rather than the gaining of knowledge. A panel discussion, conducted by allWaterloo alumni, discussed their varied experiences in finding first employment. They collectively emphasized that, to succeed, one must move first to sell one’s self, sitting on your laurels will do little to secure a job. Bryan Cryderman spent over two years, after graduating with his Master in History, look;ng for some traditional form

academic or of employment: archivist, curator. After no strong success and a recommendation from Employment and Immigration that he emigrate, he looked for a job with some short term satisfaction. He joine the Peel Regional Police Force. After two and a half years in uniform, he became a detective. Shortly after, he became involved in the writing of a textbook for the training of Ontario police and is currently involved in a strategic planning function for . the Peel force. Dave Mather, after graduation in the mid ’70s with his Masters in English, became a with the Toronto management trainee Dominion bank. The TD bank was hiring for every person with conventional background another with a liberal arts background. He rose through successive -positions at Royal Trust as branch and area manager, then in a position with data as a planner, processing - organization: Mather is currently assistant vicepresident for Pensions at Crown life. The majority of his positions entailed extensive learning after being- hired. He attributes the reason for his hiring to his skills as a manager. Mary Soye is a research analyst for Woods Gordon, a Toronto management consulting firm. She is assigned currently to the data processing team, at first surprising because of her degree in Economics/ Political Science. Her primary role in the team is that of drafting proposals. While computer literate due to her experience with the statistic packages used at Waterloo, her skills at

writing and analysing, along with problem solving, reflect her role in the team. The necessity of being computer literate was stressed as being of prime importance in the business world today. Some experience with a personal computer is considered as a necessary prelude to moving even into middle / management. The afternoon of the conference was more concerned with the nuts and bolts of finding the job. David Tucker, who graduated in ‘79 with his Phd in Psychology is currently employed with Murray Axmith, an executive relocation firm for fired or displaced executives. He drew parallels from the job hunt of the displaced executive to that of the first-time job seeker. He emphasised that the biggest limitation on the job hunt is that people do not connect fully with the potential job market. Using the analogy of an iceberg, he said that only a small percentage of jobs are visible. Ads and agencies reflect only twenty percent of the market and the main lesson is how to tap the other 80%.

New scholarships One award of $1,000 IS available to a student entering third year Electrical Engineering and who has demonstrated strong academic performance. Preference will be -given to students with an interest in development and the computer/ communications industry. Applications should be submitted during the 2B term. Deadline: May 30, 1984 A Canada Packers Inc. Reserach Division Award of $750. - is available to an

Mechanical Engineering who has a high academic standing during the first and second year and is continuing in that program. Positive evidence of leadership and contribution to university and/ or community life are also given strong consideration. Students currently in 2B are eligible to apply. Deadline: May 30, 1984. The decision will be made early in the Winter term. Recreationists’ Association of West Central Ontario Student Award:

The strongest approach is networking. Using friends, relatives, business contacts or names gleaned from information gathering interviews provides a” route to contacting people who do the -hiring before the jobs become available to the market. In his experience with executives Tucker found that 53% of his clients who found jobs had done so through contacts. This is comparison to the 23%.who used ads and 11y0 who found work through agencies. Another limiting factor is that people teuu . to look to large firms for employment, while in reality about 75% of new jobs are found in companies that employ twenty people or less. Direct mail broadcasting, or one page letters with a summary of highlights mailed blind to , can provide an effective these firms canvassing tool. The conference finished with a resume workshop conducted by Co-ordination and Placement and the Career Information Centre. A series of publications on resumes, letters, the interview and other topics are available from Co-ordination and Placement.

The University of Waterloo’s board of governors has approved a $112 million budget for the 1984-85 year (from May 1, 1984 to April 30, 1985). The money represents considerably less than UW academic administrators feel they need to carry on their activities as effectively as they would like. In fact, Dr. T.A. (Tom) Brzustowski, vice-president, academic, says he could “easily justify” adding $8 million to it. According to Dr. W. C. (Bill) Lennox, dean of engineering, his faculty alone could use that amount. Dr. Brzustowski says some of the things he would like to see done with the additional $8 million U W doesn’t haverwould include: New faculty members -- a dozen in computer science, a couple in earth sciences, some in English (to teach writing), some in electrical engineering, and others. Support staff -- including technicians and secretaries, for more than 50 of U W’s most productive faculty members... who could make good use of them. Teaching assistants -- Dr. Brzustowski would like to see the university able to hire more, and pay them better. According to Dr. Brzustowski, Waterloo is getting in over its head in connection with its hope to become a truly world-class university; it is in competition with institutions that enjoy vastly better financing. Dr. Robin Banks, UW’s arts dean, says 30 per cent of the students wanting to study French at the university were turned away last fall. Dr. James Bater, environmental studies dean, says his faculty is able to bring fewer and fewer professional planners and‘ architects to the campus each year to work with UW student in the school of architecture and the school of urban and regional planning. Dr. Don Brodie, dean of the science faculty, says the price of chemicals has been increasing at a rate of 30 per cent a year on average, whereas the university’s budget increases are at a five or six per cent rate; as a result, researchers are doing smaller or fewer experiments than they would like; students also, do fewer or smaller experiments in the lab portions of their courses.

Dr. Alan George, dean of mathematics, also complains of faculty shortages, not all in the computer science department... the shortage of computer scientists in universities all over the world has often been reported on by news media. He says faculty members are overloaded both in terms of the number of courses they are being asked to teach and in the number of students in each class. According to D. P. (Pat) Robertson, vice-president, university services, the budgetary constraints on library operations illustrate the pressures on other parts of the university. The library budget is going up at a rate of five percent a year but an increase of 22 per cent is required during the coming year to keep services at the same level. Library materials represent about $2.6 million of $1 12.6 million budget for the year starting May 1. Other major elements include: arts faculty, $14.2 million; engineering faculty, $14.1 million; environmental %udies faculty, $5. I million; human kinetics and leisure studies faculty, $3.3 million; mathematics faculty, $10.3 million; school of optometry, $1.8 million and the rest of the science faculty, $9.9 million. Faculty pensions and benefits, plus the conversion of last year’s salary increases, are budgeted at $5.7 million. Correspondence operations are budgeted at $1.5 million; the integrated studies program, $222,000; other instruction and research services, $788,000. Academic services (mostly library operations and computing services) are at $10.6 million; administrative departments are at $9.2 million; student service departments are at $4.9 million, about half of which goes to the coordination department which finds the work term jobs for UW’s co-operative students. The physical plant budget is at $14.9 million which includes cleaning, repairs, small construction jobs, rent, security and $3.1 million budgeted for utilities. ‘l‘he operating budget totals $ I 12 million with budgeted income at slightly (100,000) less than expenditures. This means that the university expects to dip into its reserves during the forthcoming 12 months. a

New Policy 15 released by Jeff Conway . Imprint staff The University of Waterloo administration has proclaimed a new policy on room bookings nd sale of merchandise on campus. The new regulations will directly affect what the administration has now categorized as “non-accredited” student groups such as the Anti-Imperialist Alliance (AIA) and the Chevron. These new regulations will make it harder for these groups to book rooms and may be used to deny them the right to sell their literature on the campus. The revised Policy ‘no. 15 became effective on February 29 but was mailed out to policy holders at the end of March. It replaces the old Policy no. 15 which first came into effect on August 2, 1978. -. The revised policy creates five categories of “user groups” of university facilities: “A. Accredited Undergraduate Student Groups: Organized groups of students whose membership and Constitution have been approved by the Federation of Students. “B. Accredited Graduate Student Groups: Any graduate student group approved by the Graduate Student Association. “C. Accredited University Groups: All departments of the University, Research Groups, Federated and Affiliated Colleges, and any group, club or organisation recognized by the University or its Federated or Affiliated Colleges. In the case of the University, the University Secretary will determine status. “D. Community Charita.ble Organizations: Organisations such as the K-W Rotary Club, Lions Club, Children’s International Summer Village, and others as approved by the University Secretary. “‘E. Non-accredited Student and Off-campus Groups: Organised groups which do not fall under A to D above.” Groups which fall under A, B, C and D “will” be granted space

for their activities and no rent will be charged. Non-accredited student groups “may” be granted space but will be charged a rental fee. Professor Doug Wahlsten: spokesman for the AntiImperialist Alliance, has learned from the secretary of the Bookings Office that the rental fee comtemplated for the nonaccredited student groups is $40.00 for a room holding under 100 people. The old Policy no. 15 did not dategorize university groups or provide for charging them rental fees. It stated that “the university will, whenever possible, make its facilities available to the university community” and that “there will be no room rental charge made to university organizations...” The revision of the room bookings policy arises directly out of what seemed to be an attempt of the university administration to permanently ban such groups as the AntiImperialist Alliance from holding meetings on the campus. On January 27, 1983 the Director of Administrative Services, Bill Deeks, cancelled the room booking privileges of such. groups as the AIA and The Chevron. The AIA took the case to the Ethics Committee which found in favour of it on December 20, 1983. Before the Ethics Committee reached its verdict, Bill Deeks released a memorandum on November 10 which stated: “The recent conflict between Professor Douglas Wahlsten and the Bookings Office over booking university facilities in the name of certain groups has drawn-attentionto the inadequacy of Policy no. 15 to deal with, these matters...1 believe a more detailed set of guidelines is required, so that the Bookings Office can be confident it is acting with proper authority when it makes decisions to grant or deny bookings, and to charge or to not charge (a rental fee - JC).” Pending the approval of a new Policy no. 15, the Bookings Office was instructed by Deeks to permit the Anti-Imperialist

Alliance and the other groups “to book rooms in the normal manner.” The AIA booked 10 rooms for meetings last semester and was not charged a rental fee. The revised policy also deals with the question of the sale of merchandise and services on the campus which the old policy did not address. Outlets or organizations owned and operated by the university, recognized university campus organizations, and external companies under contract or agreement with the . university are all allowed to sell merchandise and services on the camnus. 0;her than the above, however, “no group, organization or individual shall engage in commercial activities On CampUS without written permission of the Vice-President, University Services or his delegate.” This new regulation also related to the AIA which was selling Thr Murxist-Leninist newspaper on campus, an activity which campus security has tried to stop. , I

Panacom Comes to. U of W D / by Franz

Hartmann

“We’re delighted’ to be the first company to reach agreement with the University in its very promising program to establish this area as a leading -high-technology center for the country,” said Malcolm 1. F. Gissing, President and General Manager of HewlettPackard (Canada) Ltd., in an April 10th press releae. release. Gissing was commenting on an option Hewlett-Packard obtainedfrom the University for the purchase of twenty-five acres of land close to the University’s Research and Technology park situated in the north campus. The company plans to move its

PANACOM operation from Scarborough to an interim sight in Waterloo in September until the new facility is built. PANACOM, acquired by H-P last year, plans to manufacture IDAC (Industrial Acquisition and Control) systems for worldwide use. Linda Johnson, from Hewlett-Packard’s public relations departments, thinks the university, the community, and H-P will benefit from this move. H-P will initially employ 45 people and expand its manufacturing facility to employ several hundred people by the end of the decade. She acknowledged that one of the’ company’s -main reasons for locating in Waterloo was due to its close proximity to the

University. Other sites considered were in Ottawa, Mississauga and Calgary. Johnson also believes numerous jobs will be created for engineering and computer science students. Pat Robertson, Vice-President of ) University Operations, feels H-P’s move to Waterloo will benefit students and graduates , seeking employment. He also believes that this move will bring more companies to the University’s North Campus. Robertson does not feel the University is becoming too specialized in the sciences and says specialization won’t become dangerous if the University keeps an eye on it. Federation of Students president, Tom Allison, also thinks H-P’s move is beneficial.

he sees job opportunities for grads and a larger share in the computer market due to increased R & D. Like Robertson, Allison does not think that the university, by emphasizing the sciences, is ignoring other faculties. But- Aneida Paulo, a third-year French major, believes “The university is already too involved in sciences and the emphasis in arts is almost non-existent.” Peter Cizek, a recent Federation vice-presidential candidate and a first-year Urban Planner, said, “universities could become too dependent on market forces (due to their ties with industry) which can potentially discourage R & D which might not be profitable in the short-run, but which could be very beneficial in the long-run.”

If you join the editorial board of the paper deadline for this term’s applications is noon May lOth), you will find that some positions the promise of financial reward.

Ah, summertime and the living is easy. Laurel Creek is home, aggin, to ducks, eels. and muskrats; flowers are in bloom; everyone is looking gre;ilt and feeli’hg good. It’s the time of the year for rest and for change. It’s the time of your life. So, welcome back to Waterloo, and welcome to the first Imprint of volume 7. We hope you like what YOU see. In the spirit of the term, we are trying some new thmgs. (You can teach an Ola oOg new tricks!). For instance, our cover format has changed from a magazine-style to a newspaperstyle, thereby freeing up much-needed space for news copy and allowing us to work with the concept of a “front page”. As well, we are introducing a new section: “Around Campus”. It will feature articles on the activities of such student organizations, clubs, and societies as WPIRG. We will soon be asking you to complete and return a survey telling us what you like and dislike about your newspaper; and, once we go over the results, other changes may be in store. Despite our willingness to change and experiment in order to improve the newspaper, the truth remains that Imprint can only be as good as those of you who contribute to it Your student newspaper needs you, wants you, to come and join it. Don’t feel shy or intimidated. We’re all pretty friendly down here. Our door is wide open to you. Feel free, feel welcome. And don’t think that you would be bored! We guarantee that you’ll find something intriguing to do on the paper, something that will give,your life added purpose, zest, and sex appeal! We have lots of interesting work for you. You can do investigative journalism, unearthing c scandals and revealing success stories. You can review records, movies, books, plays, dance performances, and concerts, and award roses or brickbats as you desire. You can follow the Warriors’ sports teams and have front-row seats to all the action. There are technical jobs available, too. Yo; can edit copy, lay-out pages, typeset copy, paste-up the typeset copy, and develop film. You can get involved with the financial end of your non-profit corporation as well. There is something for everyone. ’

‘Almost .aIx&ction T& the editor: -. ’ In an age -when we are subjected to such a large volume of informatibn o‘tl the state of the. world, the tremendous .power of simple facts remains. For weeks, the news networks ha.ve been trumpeting the progress which the recent election in El Salvador represented toward a truly free society in that country. * Yet, it isnamazing that one very simple fact about that election has been all- but overlooked amidst the celebration: Representatives from’ the revolutionary left did not participate for the simple reason that no declared candidate from their camp would have survived to see the end of the election, much less enjby the potential fruits of victory. Leaders’ from the left are merely repe_ating their reasork for boycotting the last election in 1982: Any slate- of their candidates would constitute a hit list for right-wing death . squads. * Guillermo Ungo, the leader of the political arm of the left, has likened the situation to one in which someone ties your hands behind your back, then asks you to play basketball. Thus, the myth behind the election in El Salvador is that is was an exercise in democaracy. A truly democratic election is one in which candidates from all portions of--’ the political spectrum are permitted to participate, without fear of physical or legal reprisal. The violation of this fundamental principle renders the result of any election-however well superivised4nvalid. (The United Stated poured $10 niillion into a computerized balloting system which was so complicated that approximately 15% of the Salvadorean electorate were unaj>le to vote.) ‘I‘he implications of this violation are fiotentially catastrophic for the policies of the Reagan administration in El Stilvador. If the continuation of the United States military aid to the Salvadorean gbvernment genuinely contingent upon the holding of democratic elections, then this aid would have to be withheld until the representatives from the reft felt safe enough to come out of hiding to participate in an election. This is hot likely

to happen until governme.nt troops run out of bullets. 1 wish to emphasize that. this is not an appeal to the Reagan administration tp support the revolutionary left in El Salvador. The rqent history of Zimbabwe illustrates the abus,es of which victors from the left are capable. The major problems with Reagan’s policies in t’his area is that they are, too simplistic. In a Harvard commencement address soon after he resigned as Secretary of State under President Carter, Cyrus Vance warned of the dangers associated with viewing the world in bipolar terms. By supporting the cause against Communism in Central America, Reagan is funding the massacre of tens of thousands of civilians by an unbridled military in ElSalvador. At the same time, he is filling attempts to overthrow a leftist government in Nicaragua whose worst abuse appears to be a low tolerance for press freedom. Viewed on the basis of body counts, rather than political rhetoric, Reagan’s priorities are absurd. . -The United States government should remain faithful to the cause of democracy and withhold all military support for the El Salvador governmefit until they stop shooting their own citizens (a position held, incidentally, by Gary Hart). The index of progress toward a free society should be the presence of absence of true representatives from the revol,utionary left in open elections, rather than incremental reductions in the number of bodies appearing oii the streets. If this policy leads to the ascendency of a M&is&government which does not bludgeon its citizenry into obeisance, then so be it. Given the choice between the relatively benign under the Sandinistas in socialization Nicaragua, and the monstrous oppression of the Sal\;radorean military, ,.North Americans who undeistand and believe in democracy cannot support the policies of the Reagan administration with a clear conscience.

To the editor: First of all I’d like’to express my appreciation to the Athletic Department and the Men’s and Women’s Inter-Collegiate Athletic Councils for’putting on a tremendous Athletic Awards Banquet on Friday, March 23rd. It was the first one I’ve had the . pleasure of attending and I had a wonderful time. The banquet was a very fitting tribute to the many accomplishments of our athletes this year. Mr. Bob I’d also like to express disappointment % McKillop’s choice of comments on a very deserving group of athletes, the rugby team. Mr. McKillop chose to paint the rugby team as a bunch of guys who like to get drunk and whose biggest accomplishment this year was getting themselves invited to the , Mardi Gras in New Orleans to continue their habit. . Well Mr. McKillopjthat isnot what rugby is all about. In the University of Waterloo Warriors Rugby Football, Club, this school has forty of the hardest working and toughest athletes on campus. For two months in the fall, these boys practice two hours a night, five nights a week’. They often have three or four

games in the space of seven days. ’ Mr. McKillop commented that, “Only 11 of 26 players attended the banquet to/receive their awards.” This happens to be because many of the. team are co-op students, a fact that makes their successes this’ year that much more impressive. In fact, more than ten members of the club are in engineering. Three of four boys drove in from Toronto just to, be at the banquet. Perhaps Mr. McKillop was misinformed about the successes of the rugby club this year. If this was the case, I’d like to take this opportunity to rectify this situation. Mr. McKillop failed to mention that this year’s rugby club took not one but two provincial titles with both the varsity and club sides winning their respective leagues. He failed to mention that the varsity team had an undefeated season which included victories over a tough touring side from Coventry England and an undefeated tournament in New Orleans four months after their season had ended. The only blemish on a 13-O-I season was a tie against Western (unlike some teams, the rugby team does not mark ties against Western. in the win column).

Hockev: Future Shock J

TO the editor: Apparently, the National Hockey League is now considering a plan to install television monitors at all rinks. The idea is to assist referees in deciding when a goal has been scored. Since we at U W have a hockey team of our own, I though this issue might interest some Imprint readers. ^- The way the plan might work is that the referee’would have an option to consult the video replays, when he finds a shot hard to call. However, as the Toronto Star columnist Jim Proudfoot recently reported, the NH L: is aware of problems which the technique could cause: There is the obvious expense of :instaIling all this equipment, and of standardizing the camera angles for all rinks. More w’orrisome, perhaps, is what happens when the referee%-own judgement call conflicts with the ? seeming evidence of the TV replay? Nonetheless. these. last mentioned’ problems are slight:’ -I compared with what will doubtless lie ahead: Spy Technology Urged for NHL Playoffs (Edomonton,l994) For the third time in 10years, thealarm has been sounded forthe NHL to support its referees with new technology. In late 1984, t’he league required all team rinks to be equipped with video cameras and monitors as standard equipment. placed beside the goal judge’ booths. Then. in 1990, it was further decided to placeadditional. upgraded cam,eras at each side of both blue lines and above centre rink. The reasons in both cases were the sa*me--to lessen the risks of controversial calls in important games by providing the officials

Mr. McKillop failed to mention that largely volunteer coaches Phil ‘White and Derek Humphreys were named 0. U,A.A. coaches :of the year, or that Derek will be retiring this year after dedicating 10 years to the University of Waterloo rugby program. He also failed to mention that fully seven rugby Warriors were. named to the O.U.A.A. All-Star team, they being M .V.P. Tony Stea, Canadian Junior Mark Allison, Ontario Junior Doug Paul, Captain Chris Skelton, Glenn Harper, Andy Stone and rookie Paul Coburn. Dave Lum Kong received honourable mention as Most Valuable Back. Mark Allison, George Boire and Chris Skelton were named to the Tulane International Mardi Gras Rugby Tournament AllTeam. . Tournament Mr. McKilop, .it is true that the rugby club does have a reputation as drunken rowdies, and I guess we’re slightly proud of the notoriety we’ve built up over the years. But the club is made up of a fine bunch of athletes and deserve to be recognized as such at an event such the Athletic Banquet. John Amos

with more objective information. ’ The latest call for change was set in motion last Saturday, as a result of Toronto’s narrow victory, 13 overtime, over the Edmonton Oilers. The Maple Leafs, whom Edmonton’s Coach Gretzky had called a “Donald Duck” team earlier in the season, emerged ‘victorious in the final lYgame of this vear’s Stanlev_I CUD. d a “There is no way the- Leafs should have won!” complained Gretzky after the game. “The ref, linesmen, and .goal judge all admitted that they did not actually see the puck go in.” To suggestions that it was their own choice to consult the various replays, Gretzky frowned: “But what about those spy photos‘? 1 say that those should also have been accepted as evidence.” In speaking of “spy photos” Gretzky was referring to the latest innovation of the networks to improve their “instant replays”-:now a staple in all hockey broadcasts. For years, U.S. and Russian spy ’ satellites have been equipped with cameras which can detect the smallest objects and motions on .eaTth, Five year$ ago, new x-ray versions;which can ‘even see through ,solid bu\ildings, weredevetoped. This year, for the playoffs, the networks received special government permission to rent a channel on one of these satellites, on condition that it was used only for purposes of creating -‘tx:ray replays” of the Stanley Cup playoff \ games. . ‘.’ Says theEdmon’ton Coach: “Everyone<who has seen those spy photos agress that the. puck was really in. the goalie’s m’itt. Why wasn’t the referee allowed ,to leak at those .Pictures. too?!”

u pf El ~Salvador To the editor: Last fall, the University of Waterloo was one of 25 Canadian universities involved in the collection of books for the University of El Salvador, which the government was allowing to reopen. In all, some 23 tons of books and journals (956 cartons; estimated value $300,000) -were collected and shipped from Montreal to El Salvador via Miami. 56‘cartons of books were sent from the University of Waterloo. In the beginning of January, the University of El Salvdor’s contact person in Canada received a call from the University’s Dean of Law who reported that the shipment of books had arrived as a welcome Christmas present, in perfect condition. ‘The books had been catalogued, -distributed and were-already i.n use through the library loans. The reaction of staff and students was extremely positive; they were overjoyed at receiving what was felt to be excellent quality material from their sister institutions in Canada. I’d like to thank all those who donated books and/or money to this campaign and to those who assisted with. the packaging of materials.

These ‘user fees’ would also affect single women who usually earn less than most men, especially those who are presently supporting children on. their own; and of course these ‘user fees’ will affect both single and married men..

“ln the - servke of

by Sehdev Kumar ipecial to Imprint There is a story told about a young scientist in _ Los Alamos, where in the 1940’s the first atom bombs were made. Once, walking on a street, he was observed to De bearing “a smile of almost angelic beauty. He ooked as though his inner gaze was fixed on a He was, in fact, he said world of harmonies.” ater, thinking about a mathematical problem whose solution was essential to the contruction ,f a new kind of Hydrogen bomb. For this scientist, as for many others, research m nuclear weapons was yet another problem in pure” mathematics, unsullied by blood, poison Dr destruction. He had even refused to watch trial explosions )f any of the bombs that he had helped design. rJor did he wish to visit the cities of Hiroshima )r Nagasaki, though he was invited; or even look It‘ the pictures of destruction wrought by the wo bombs. Ever since the scientific academies of the 17th zentury decided that any discussion of political, )ocial or moral problems would not be allowed it their meetings, lest their pursuit of higher ruth be soiled by dogma or human passions, )uch ethos as this scientist evinced, had been he credo of science right up to the 1940’s at the ime of the making of the first atom bomb. Many prominent scientists of earlier centuries Copernicus, Galileo, Bruno, Darwin, Mendel lad suffered humiliation or even persecution for heir insistence to pursue the truth, however :ontrary to the opinions of the establishment eligious or political. But World War II brought scientists centretage and made them the darlings of the stablishment everywhere. It was in this new uphoria that, while working on the atom bomb, he distinguished physicist Enrico Fermi emarked: “Don’t bother me with your onscientious scruples! After all, the thing is uperb physics!” physics,

not scruples!

In the past four decades since the onstruction of the first atom bomb, there have een numerous debates about the causes and angers of the nuclear arms race: the threat to *eedom and democracy; the military-industrial omplex; irreconcilable ideological differences; uge defence contracts; the paranoia of warrangers; and even “human nature”. Yet there have been rare attempts to see the rowth of nuclear and other weapons as a ecessary outcome of the twists and turns in the reams and aspirations of the scientists hemselves. At present, more than half a million scientists nd engineers are working exclusively on the levelopment of “new” weapons and defence ystems with an annual research and !evelopment outlay of over 50 billion dollars. An even larger number is working in niversities and research laboratories, on ontracts from various agencies including efence departments. All these huge investments f men and money in the past four decades have Itered the character of “science” beyond zcognition. Whether in the East or the West, scientists are o longer at the fringe of society upholding leas, however unpopular. Scientists are the new stablishment; in the public mind, they bear a alo of cool objectivity that is beyond the “baser rstincts” of “lesser beings”. The truth of the matter is somehow quite ifferent. Scientist know “sin” as well as others o, and their pursuit of higher knowledge is not lways guided by higher goals. In fact, at resent, for many scientists, their professional tatus is closely linked to the size of their esearch contracts - whatever their purpose or ource - the military, the industry or some overnment agency. The brilliance or the ingenuity of these cientists is unquestionable. Nor can one deny heir great contributions to making life, at ,umerous levels, more comfortable and efficient.

.Nevertheless, the relationship between their love for solving problems and inventing new things, and ethics - in its broadest sense remains tenuous at best. This is certainly evident from the use of their skills and brilliance in the design of more and more deadly weapons. It was their great war-efforts that brought scientists into the limelight in the 1940’s. They were called “titans”, and compared with Prometheus, who had challenged Zeus, the controller of the Fates. One United States senator, with characteristic hyperbole, declared that an atomic scientist is one of the “few persons whose inteliectual development in many respects - and especially in the scientific field- - bears the same relation to that of the rest of us as a range of mountains bears to a molehill.” The war made atomic physicists, in particular, a very precious commodity. The great Danish physicist Neils Bohr, for instance, when flown over the North Sea in the US Air Force plane, was given a seat just over the bomb-bay. In case of a German attack, Bohr was to be dropped into the sea by a mere turn of the handle. One is, of course, aware of the massive

devestations in human history wreaked by -mighty dictators. But what is often not understood is that, frequently, the inventions o scientists take on a character of their own, far more powerful than the will of any dictator. In 1932, at the time of the discovery of the neutron - “the bullet in the atomic gun” - a you physicist, Paul Langevin, had remarked: “Hitler It won’t be long before he breaks his neck like , other tyrants. I am much more worried about something else...lt is something which - unlike him - we shak never be able to get rid of: I mea the neutron.” Earlier in 1914, in an editorial, the London Times wrote with calm confidence that no civilised nation would bomb open cities from th air. Civilisation or barbarism, technology now demands, and makes it imperative, that real decisive assaults on the enemy be planned and executed on computer terminals and in the laboratories. What kind of men are these - and what are their ethics - who create this “technological whirlpool” that threatens to destroy everything in its wake? Are we witnessing the rise of a,nev scientist - in sharp contrast to his many noble

social - continues to take a much greater precedence in the scientific and technological ‘labs than search for truth and understanding. This is so amongst the scientific fraternity all over the world, making a scientist in a- laborator! in Los Angeles no different than his counterpart in Moscow. This is a frightening thought, however, for we in the West pride ourselves on being “free” people, free to define and re-define our relation to each other and to nature at large. It is i _ perhaps this distinction from the life in the East, in the Soviet Union’ specifically, that many of us most cherish. Yet, abdicating our freedom to forces of‘ power, to inner forces of passion and temptation and outer forces of coercion, is a much greater dilemma, one for which’students of science are the least prepared. 1 . - Unfortunately in the minds of many, science remains only an objective study of an objective world. All questions of freedom, ethics, harmony and well-being are seen by man! scientists as being of little interest to them. ’ It is for this reason that science flourishes greatly in the Soviet Union and, in the West, engineering and science students tend to be amongst the most reactionary. “Knowledge is ‘power”, said Francis Bacon - , some four centuries ago. The -knowledge of the I scientists is indeed source of unprecedented power but often inthe hands of those whose sense of ethics is not always defined by many .Lhumane considerations. . I knowledge

ancestors - who is eternally tempted by the lure of whatever is “technically sweet”? The words are those of Robert Oppenheimer, “the father of the A-bomb”, who used them in 1951 to describe the irresistible attraction to bomb-work by the brilliant team of physicists, mathematicians and engineers that he directed as part of the Manhattan Project. His full statement was that ‘(...it is my ’ judgement in these things that when you see something that is technically sweet you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb. I don’t think anybody opposed making it; there were some debates about it only after it was made.” The lure of the “technically sweet” has kept drawing more and more brilliant minds to play with fire. This has been true for the past four decades since scientists discovered what “titans” they are. 1 There have been, no doubt, great moments of reluctance, even opposition to this idea, as for instance at the time of the development of the --first - - H-bombin mid 40’s.

’ Such knowledge as scientists have accumlatec in great abundance must not be confused with wisdom. Wisdom comes from ways otherthan those many scientists have dared to explore. It comes from understanding - “standing under tht Tree of Knowledge” - with humility and love; it comes from considering the universe not as an object but as a subject,, imbued with--the same . forces and harmonies as ourselves. Such great scientists as Pythagoras, Newton, . Pascal, Goethe, Marie-Curie and Einstein explored the laws of nature as well as, others have done but they never shut their eyes from exploring what was within themselves: their owr in’ner nature, the well-spring of all truth, To many student of science - intoxicated as they are by the sweet smell of success of their vision of life - the history and wisdom of their ancestors seem remote and “primitive*. Their vision of “progress” is inextricably linked with the ever new and-the ever powerful. Once upon-a time the alchemists cautioned the coming generation of research workers thus “Deyy the powerful and their warriors entry into your workshops; for such people misuse the ho mysteries in the service of power? ’ Spurred by the last War, and the wars that ar now fought and lost every day, science s,tancIs a a new water shed: it must choose between understanding and power: No doubt, understanding sometimes leads to power. But, &as the great- naturalist Loren Eisele once’warned, power seldom leads to , understanding. /

In this new legacy, words like truth, understanding, harmony seem to tremble before the cacophony of the “realists”. It was only a decade after World War II that Business Week reported, under the heading ‘Defence Department, Leading Patron, of the Sciences’, that in ‘fthe United States military expenditure for scientific research and development jumped from an annual average of $245 million. during WW II to $1.5 billion this year. This trend will continue to rise...Indirect military and development expenses...reach...at least 3.6 billion.” In all fields of science now, research is overwhelmingly dependent on very expensive equipment that’ requires increasingly large sums,, of, money. The new patrons ‘of science, then, frave to be the wealthy and the powerful. Hence, in turn, search for power - military;-political, . .f .

Not every student knows what WPIRG is, what it does, or how it is helpful to students. This article your introduction to a valuable campus organization.

The Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (W PI RG) iS a student-funded and student-directed research and education organization which has been operating on the Universitv of Waterloo campus for eleven years. Although the “PI t<G” concept originated in the United States, active PIRG chapter5 presently operate across North America.

W PIRG was the first of a number of Public Interest Research Groups now established on university campuses across Ontario. While individual PIRGs differ in their emphases, selecting the needs of local chapters, they are generally involved in research on current environmental and social problems and in providing forums for debate and education concerning these issues. By bringing larger issues on to campus and by applying student-funded research to problems off-campus, PIRGs provide a critical channel between students and the wider community we live in. WPIRG is funded solely through a $2.50 per term optional and refundable fee specified on each full-time undergraduate ree statement. This contribution is refundable within the first rhree weeks of each term. WPIRG’s direction is provided by an elected Board of seven Jtudent directors. Vacancies on the Board due to stydents leaving Kitchener-Waterloo at the end of the term are filled by members appointed by the Board who then serve until elections in October. Presently there are four vacancies. If you are interested in becoming a summer-term Board member, inquire at the WPIRG office, room 2 17 Campus Centre, before May 14 at 2 pm. The Board of Directors meets every two weeks and makes decisions necessary to the functioning of W PI RG. The bulk of our funding goes toward the salaries of two fulltime and one part-time staff. These staff maintain a heavily used resource centre, organize and produce campus and community education events with speakers, films, lectures, workshops and seminars, co-ordinate research and work closely with students to develop skills in these areas. In 1980, after mpch investigation, WPIRG published a popular book dealing with acid rain entitled, Acid Rain: The Silent Crisis. WPIRG’s stimulation of popular awareness about acid rain continues through its membership in the Canadian Coalition on Acid Rain. In 198 1 WPI RG began investigating toxic waste infractions in Ontario. Chemical Nightmare: the Unnqc*essar~\~ Legaqrl of’ Toxic Waste was the culmination of many hours of interviews and meeting with Ontario citizens directly affected by improperly maintained waSte sites.

Students of Objet tivism On Monday, May 14th a lecture entitled “The History and Importance of Man’s Rights” will be given by Prof. John Ridpath in the Humanities Theatre at 8 p.m. This lecture is sponsored by Students of Objectivism (U W) and admission is free.

A candid conversation with the fountainhead of Objectivism [March 1964) Free reprints available while quantities !ast. Call 746-1995 Special note: Objectivist lecturer Dr. John Ridpath will speak at UW on Monday, May 14 at 8 pm in the Humanities Theatre.

In order to clarify the issue and rectify problems, WPIKG brought industry, government, and citizens together to discuss waste management in Ontario. The transcripts from this conference were adopted by the Ministry of the Environment and included as appendix I of the Blueprint .for Waste Management in Ontario. W PI RG continues to play an active role in the formulation of a new waste management policy for Ontario through relations with the MOE, OW MC, and a nu_mber of other citizen’s groups through.out Ontario. While our emphasis and resultant expertise have been predominantly environmental, an example of W PIRG’s answerability to student demand was the conference on the Social Impacts of Computerisation held in - 1982. This conference was organized entirely in response to an increasing number of students requesting information on computerisation from our resource centre. The conference was one of the first of its kind in Canada and, as with many WPIRG endeavors, a book ensued. The book and _ conference were instrumental in the establishment of an undergraduate course withi? the engineering faculty at Waterloo. All the publications mentioned above, and other, are available for purchase at the WPIRG office (with reduced . prices for student members). Our resources are open from 10 am to 2 pm, Monday to Friday. Several events are planned for the summer and will be advertised through the Imprint and posters. There are lots of ways for students to get involved with WPIRG. Feel free to drop in and see us in Room 217 of the Campus rentre.

Dr. Ridpath’s academic career a B.Sc. (Engineering) and M.B.A. from the University of Toronto and a Ph.D in Economics from the University of Virginia. He is currently a professor Economics and Intellectural Economics and Intellectual Hostory at York University, Toronto. His major research interest is the history and social significance of

fundamental

ideas.

Current work includes the history of rights, Nietzsche as a pseudo-individualist, and the philosophic framework of Marx’s attack on capitalism. Widely recognized for his lecturing skills, he is recipient of the prestigiolis award given by the Ontario Council of University Faculty Associations to the ten most competent teachers in the province. He was also a long time associate of the late Ayn Rand. The lecture will review the evolution of the idea that nien have natural rights, from the beginnings of this idea in ancient Greek philosophy, through its stages in Roman

law, mediaeval scholasticism and the Englightenment, up to its twentieth century demise.

The lecture will focus on certain philosophic ideas that are central to the idea of man’s rights, and show the evolution of this concept to be the search for the simultaneous synthesis of thes ideas.

’ OF CAPITAL IMPORTANCE The Government of Canada provides support to post secondary education in a number of important ways. Here are I Lsome recent exampIes showing how the level of ’ this support has been increasing:

Heather Hall - Welcome badk! Have a great sbmqer. Think of us while you’re enjoying scoops- ice cream.

1 Student Assistance _ In March, 1983 the Government of Canada added $60 million to its student

assistance programs for loans to full and part-time students and interest relief for bor’ rowers who are disabled qr on Unemployment Insurance. For 1982-83, the Government, of Canada guaranfeedtL $300 million in loans to 184,000 students.

Centres ,6f Speciabation

The Government oi Canada recently introduced a new $25 million Centres of Specializatjon program td assist Canadian universities in expanding their training,

research and development capacity. The new Centres of Specialization program will help to provide increased learning opportunities for students in areas of discipline with good employment’ ‘opportunities while also helping universities to meet Canada’s present and future research needs.

Funding for the Post Secondary System

for post secondary education, provided through trarisfer payments to the province’s: will total over $4.2 billion. This amount; which represents an increase of about $240 million over 1983-84, equals $167.60 for every person in Canada.

y One shot science \ Dr. George H. Scherr, editor, The Journal of Irreproducible Results (New York: Workman Publishing, 1983) 195 pages, $12.95.

by Alex Bielak Just as the Joy of Cooking should be on the shelf of each and every cook, 50 the Best of the Journal oflrreproducible Results should find its way onto the desk of every scientist. This collection of “improbable investigations and unfounded findings” proves, with its mordant sense of humour, that the denizens of the ivory tower can poke fun at themselves with the best. Scientists usually worship at the totem of reproducible results: That is to say, they believe that results of scieniific endeavour are acceptable only if some-one else, using the same materials and methods, can get the same answer. If he or she cannot, then the work is dismissed, or even worse, considered fraudulent. And indeed, so itwas, until 1~35, when Dr. Alexander Kohn, a scientist at the prestigious Ness Zicna Research Institute in Israel, doubtless ‘egged on by his witty and inventive brother Immek (another scientist), circulated the first mimeographed edition of the Journal of Irreproducible Results Since then things have never been quite the Sam@! At first the Journal stuck to purely scientific works such as the memorable study which claimed that the weight of Nation&l Geographic magazines stored in American basements was approaching a critical mass that would soon sink the continent. Naturally, this led to another paper, published in the pages of the JIR, refuting the theorty and claiming that careful

calculation had shown that it would take 24.92 x 10.9 years worth of National Geographies to depress the earth’s crust by 100 feet! The scope of the Journal expanded to include the social and political sciences and even philosophy. the “Best of” has some wonderful reading for all. Titles of papers include: “Reading education for zoo animals - a critical need”, “A proposed study of rubber band thera’py “, “The inheritance patten of death”, “A short guide to doctors”, “Golf and the Poo Muscle - A Preliminary report’and “How to be a published mathematician”. My personal favourites reside in the section devoted to Metaphysics. The request for a grant to complete the Creation is hilarious to anyone who has ever had to submit a proposal. #The computerised confession program is wickedly funny, and the final contribution “Memo to Moses from HEW” puts the icing on the cake. In it, a granting agency writes a letter to the prophet asking for various clarifications regarding the Ten Commandments: “Take the phrase ‘You shall have no Gods before me’. Not only is this unclear, but we are troubled by the absence of measurable behavioural objectives”! Not only is the material, itself (often written by well-known researchers), funny, the various footnotes and references are themselves.often an inventive and witty delight. They tend to mix real citations with ones which couldn’t be really, could they? For instance “A. Procrustes. ‘Selective extension and truncation of the skeletal frame’. Annals of Orthopaedic Mythology, 81: (523 B.C.) 71.” There is so much that is good here that I can find only one small detail to criticise: the dates of original publication of each article should have been included, as should have been the address where one might obtain the Journal. Apart from this, both students and professors have much to gain from this highly enjoyable collection.

One is left feeling a little embarassed to be Dona Paul Masse1 looking in on this rather puerile,anecdote: The Vikings Who Came to Fly there is no room for air (London, Ont.: Third Eye, 1983) as I wait 74 pages for Crown Prince Olaf Dona Paul Masse], a Kitchener poet and playwright, casts to pinion wings the poet in the role of oral historian in her latest book, The on my chest Vikings Who Came to Fly. She presents a pastiche of the s “choicest/remembrance” of Norwegian airmen who trained in There are, however, despite the general flaws--typos and Canada--at Muskoka, Ontario--while their homeland suffered low-quality paper--compelling reasons for reading - this volume Nazi occupation during World War II. of verse. Chief of these is that some poems and parts of poems Despite the impressiveness of this feat of orai history, this are very powerful, sparkling with intellect and emotion, labour of research and love, few pieces in the volume actually working a miracle of insight and empathy in the reader. make the grand, sensuous leap from mere anecdote or note to Massel’s “Thor Rises” documents the inner thoughts of an full-fledged poetry. Few poems, in brief, achieve lift-off. This is ain-nan on his homeland’s fate in mythological tern-is. due to several faults. First, there are too many pieces in this book which are poems only in name. For example, “30. The Staff of Life at Little then the day Quisling slithered out Norway” is, word-for-word, a recipe for a lot of bread. A good of the death-mist-world recipe, mind you, but not a poem. “33.“, “35.“, “36.” (some wrapping his endless coils poems are not titled, merely numbered) are really pieces of around the paths of my mountain chopped up prose, not poems. Here is “34.“: at Christmas the lanes of my sea those pieces of silver rattling I received a letter the end of his tail hand written I . venom enveloping signed simply flowers and fish Haakon Secondly, many of the pieces in this volume lack a necessary The poem is acompact recounting of all that has befallen prerequisite to be considered poems: passion. “14.” and “15.“, Norway, which, like Eden, was once a paradise but is now a fen for instance, which deal with the problems that one Norwegian bossed by a serpent. Pictured in mythical terms, Quisling is a has with an English trainer are singularly bloodless. They lack demi-Satan, Thor and Odin are liberators, the airman and his intensity and compressed imagination. The same must be Aid Lady Union comrades are Valkyries. The vision is romantic, and it works. charged against this haiku, “7 Travellers Station”: how can you be Norwegian Another poem in which Masse1 excels is “26. TWO Loves”. It \ you’re not tall and blond discusses the break-up of a couple when the man leaves to but welcome anyway return to liberate his homeland, Norway. The woman’s response, her treatment of !Norway as a rival for her lover’s attention, could easily be Lucasta’s response to the speaker in Lovelace’s “To Lucasta, On Going to the War”. The poem contains sections which convey real feeling: , he cannot kiss a country \ hold it in his arms and yet he loves it more more than me. this Norway this war

‘Track and field is an endless sport at Waterloo, SO while the official intercollegiate programme in indoor track and field finished in March, many of the team’s athletes are about ready to start another competitive season. Largely because the Co-Op, the U W track programme remains active throughout the summer, supervising the training of athletes looking forward to competition both this summer and next fall and winter. In recent years the programme hasrun through Laurel Creek Track and Field, the track branch of a larger club including athletes from different sports. -The club has active training groups in most event areas, including sprints (coached by Dave Easton), jumps (coached by Andy Heal), middle and long distance (coaches Don Mills, Bob Smith, Patti Moore, and Alan Adamson), and throws (coached by Scott White). A hurdling group now runs with the sprinters, but can expect to have its own specialist coach in the near future. All these groups are eagerly seeking out new athletes, especially U W students who have not previously come out for track. Many students with track experience in high school do not try out at University as frosh, and much of the current team is made up of athletes who first showed up to train in second year or later. Team coaches emphasize that athletes at any level are welcome, as some of Waterloo’s best performers in recent years are athletes who have come here with no high school or previous club reputations. It is part of the team philosophy to build gradually over the students’ years on campus. This summer promises to be an exciting one for UW Track. Mark Inman, who destroyed his own 1500m. school record last winter with a CIAU Silver-Medal-winning 3:49.7, and Harvey Mitro, who followed him to the Bronze Medal with a person best 35 1.7, will both be aiming for strong performances at the Canadian Olympic Trials in Winnipeg. Lana Marjama, the first Athena All-Canadian in cross country, and Lisa Campfens, who has been in the provincial top ten in that sport, will be running both on the track and roads. The Waterloo jumpers, while mostly on work terms, should be active this summer, led by CIAU Bronze Medallist Elaine Veenstra. The sprinters will be led by Bram Wittenberg, and now look forward to the prospect of active work as a group in relays and individual events. The Kitchener-Waterloo area is an ideal one for track this summer, as the provincial championships will be held here in early August, and the summer weeks are filled with local allcomers’ and invitational meets. Laurel Creek track has tripsplanned to Montreal and to some road races as well. Anyone interested in getting involved in track and field should consult the bulletin board of Blue North ground level for . more information about the times of practices and meet schedules. Failing that, a call to Alan Adamson at 742-7561 (or at the University, ext 3636) should get you the information you need. We look forward to seeing you!
