" N OBovey, no Bette, no;bull!" .

by Ahab AMd-Aziz

Imprint staff T h e C a q a d i a n F e d e r a t i o n of S t u d e n t s Ontario/Ontario Federation of Students held its annual general meeting at Carleton University from June 19th to June 24th. During the course of the cqnference the CFSO / O F S campaign committee ouflined its priorities and developed plans for campaigns around issues of concern to the membership. The issues with the most visibility were unemployment, student aid, housink visa students, and the Bovey Commission. The suggestions of the campaign committee were autlined in a report entitled "No Bovey, No Bette, No BuJI", Student Aid/Unemployment:

~ l i h o u ~summer h wage subsidy programs have proven to be ineffective in creating a significant number of jobs in the .past, the Campaign committee. suggested that direct job creation programs providipg experience applicable to each student's accumulated skills should be the government's priority. It also suggested that social plinning councils and the , Assomtion of Student Financial Aid Officers be matacted regardinginformation onthecost of livingwid ngional disparitieb in the cost of living. Local student or@zations were encouraged to include this -. 5irfsmra. & &&. wbmh&w to the Bowy

for &test court case on the issues of lack of consultation with respect to the Residential Tenants Act.

Commission, linking the information to accessibility and student aid, A motion was presented that "CFS-O/OFS meeting with the head of the Student Aid Branch of Ontario, by September:~end, to present a submission concerning OSAP's unreflective regional disparities jn cost of livlng and summer wage levels".

international Students:

Housing: The priorities of the Housing committee were outlined as fonows: I) T o investigate and facilitate the establishment of residence councils on campuses @here they d o not exist and to extend this orsmizing effort to include the :stablishment of inter-rtsidence councils. 2) To encourage the establishment of on campus organizing schools for residence councils and associations. 3) To investigate building alliances with locat tenants associations, tenant's federations, older people and city a x m i l representatives, off-campus stydent tenants, and to compile this illformation in a rriini-organizing manual for resiaence students. 4) TO investigate the establishment of a hou~ing inf~rmation service for out of town students in %onsuitation with the CFS-0 Board Rep and CFS-

Sz~ices. 5 ) That tne&btr institutions search fbr likeIy cnndidatos

in light of visastudent harrassment at the University of Guetph, the committee suggested the establishment of appeals procedures in Eases of deportation of visa stu&nts. The committee also suggested that Member Associations compile information on visa student harassment and that they release to the press this information to create public awareness of the issues.

Bovey Cammissiorr: The committee indicatedthat the Federation has a formidable task ahead.in.the coming months: to mobilize public opinian and espesially its members around the questions of accessible and quality educatipn. They stated that the Bovey Commission - is the latest development in a persistent attack on education in ' Ontario to which, the committee felt, the Federation must respond. The conimittee stated that the Bovey Commission & mereky a device to recommend and ensure that the lol\g standing government plans to restructure the edueat&&' system in Ontario are implemented.

Waterloo, %de’loop x A computer unlike any other in the world -- possibly the forerunner of a whole new generation of supercomputers -- is in existence in a lab on the University of Waterloo campus. It is the brainchild of Dr. Neil Ostlund, a professor in the computer science department, and his fellow researchers. They have put together the new machine with equipment valued at close to a quarter of a million d ollars which Ostlund has received from the Intel Corporation located in California’s fabled “silicon valley”, and one of the world’s largest manufacturers of microprocessors. Intel was, in fact, the-company that designed and built the world’s first microcomputer. Microprocessors, which utilize microchips, are the key elements in microcomputers and other electronic gadgetry on the market today. The Ostmnd supercomputer is a “prototype” model, used basically as a research instrument. The computer, which is called Waterloop V2/64, is a “high performance multiple processor.” Its outstanding characteristic is that it consists of many (64) small: central processing units (CPU’s) rather than one large one; traditional architecture for high speed mainframe computers involves only one large CPU. Ostlund’s 64 CPUs are linked closely together in what he

calls a “systolic loop” system; that is, data pulses from microprocessor to microprocessor within the system much as the contraction of the heart causes blood to pulse through the body in the human circulatory system. “When we try to think what the supercomputer of the future will look like, we are forced to conclude it will have to be-very different from our current ones,” he says. “Until now, building faster computers has been achieved by making the circuitry faster and faster. “But there are limits to the speed at which you can push electrons around within a microchip (electrical signals can travel no faster than the speed of light), therefore there is a limit to how fast a single processor or CPU can be. The way around this limit is to use the principle of parallelism -- the second way to go.” He thus envisions the supercomputer of the future as having many CPU’s instead of one. Each of these will tackle a small part of any given problem. They will work in parallel; one microprocessor thus doing one part of the problem, another a second part, and so on. The parts will be processed simultaneously, in parallel. This is precisely how Waterloop V2 works.

The “corrected” listing was sent without any solicitation by Mr. Abdel-Aziz. It was issued shortly after Dr. Alvin Lee, President of McMaster University, was informed by John Bather, then Chairperson of the NGC, of the discrepancy between the DSS listing and the McMaster Research Bulletin.

all contracts issued by different departments to post-secondary institutions”. Ms. Hinchey further notes, “We have rectified our mistake and are including for your information a revised print-out of National Defence contracts awarded”. However, Hinchey’s explanation of the earlier error is unsound because, for the most part, the March 8th listing amounts to approximately 90% of the October 31st listing. In some years, as shown in the table below, both the number of contracts and the dollar volume of the contracts listed in the March 9th, 1983 print-out actually exceed the October 3 1th, 1983 listing. Consequently, Ms. Hinchey’s interpretation lead to such illogical conclusions as the following: “In 1981-82, DND contracts worth $30, 378,8 17 represented 100.0 1% of all federal research worth $30,288,293”. Similarly, absurd conclusions arise from comparisions of the total numbers of contracts reported in both listings. For every year listed, except 1982-83, the number of DND contracts awarded to Canadian universities actually exceeded the total number of federal contracts (including DND contracts) according to the original mathematics of Supply and Services. This high level of apparently classified research presents a possiblitiy that federal officials and university administrators are hypocritically denying the existence of secret research, while carring it out nonetheless:

conflicting reports by the DSS itself and its self-contradictory information, this interpretation loses some credibility; b) that the universities are telling the truth and that the Department of Supply and Services isn’t. However, the authors could find no reasonable explanation for why the DSS would represent a level higher than that which-actually exists, twice; c) that bdth the DSS and, the universities are telling the truth, as far as they

know it, which raises the specter of a more sinister situation than the authors are willing to believe, which would be that the Department of National Defence is hiding some of its expenditures under ’ the guise of university research. The authors dismiss this interpretation on the basis that the amount ($30,000,Q00) would not constitute such a high figure for the DND and, as such, they find this explanation’unlikely: d) the authors favor the explanation that there is a certain amount-of classified military research being conducted at universities and that the value of this research was indicated correctly by the DSS in their first reply. However, when the President of McMaster was faced with the discrepancy, he contacted DSS, who in turn attempted to intentionally mislead the researchers, but who bumbled this attempt because they did not know what figures they had sent in the first place.

A) Dr. Dereck Schofield, Deputy Chief of Research at the Ottawa DND laboratory, told.the Ryerson Eyeopener in a September 22, 1983 interview that .“it is not Defence Department policy to do classified research or development with universities and the only thing that would change that would be an emergency situation like war”. B) Likewise, Dr. Frost of McMaster University maintains that an agreement between DSS and the Association of Canadian Collegesand Universities, -known as DSS 1350, only allows the government. to restrict publication.during “the performance of the contract or three months thereafter”. Dr. Lee maintains that this prevented any classified research being done at all Canadian universities. Likewise, David* Nowlan, U of T Vice-Presid,ent of Research, has maintained that “all information about military contracts awarded to universities is available to the public and all results from research is published”.

Dr. Lee denounced the October 31, 1983 listing as an inaccurate report level of DND contractual research at McMaster. At this meeting with Dr. Lee, Dr. A. Frost, Assistant Vice-President of McMaster Research Services, indicated that the printout was a listing of all DSS 2 contracts to McMaster.

Subsequently, Dr. Frost has admitted that in “recent universities have begun to conduct classified research.

In a letter which accompanied the second (revised) listing, Ms. Joanne Hinchey, of the Access to Information Office, Supply Administration, indicates that “on October 3 1, 1983, we provided you with a computer listing of such contracts. Unfortunately, the information received included not only National Defence Contracts but

The authors noted that there were a number of possible interpretations of the discrepancies at hand: a) that the universities are lying to them and that the Department of Supply and Services is telling the truth. H owever, because oft he

In the committee’s view, the Federation can show its strength to pressure the government to implement its alternative ‘view of education. The committee set its short term goals with regard to responding to the Bovey Commission as being: 1) To have a maximum number of submissions which are supportive of the CFS-0 policies and co-ordinated provincially. _.e 2) To have the CFS-0 positions voiced in the Bovey public hearings. 3) To have students organizing on campus against local cutbacks. 4) To develop alliances, coalitions and public support to such an extent as to influence a provincial election. 5) To develop strengths in the Cl%-0 membership at the local and provincial levels such that they are a power to be reckoned

Top Secret pit sexist To the editor and staff of Imprint: We wish to voice our objection to the publication of the promotional picture for Top Secret! accompanying Rob Clifton’s review of the film in the June 29th issue of Imprint. Is it really necessary for us to repeatedly make this point?: images such as this objectify women, protraying us as raw flesh without autonomous being, existing solely for male gratification and titillation. . These images dominate our daily lives; if you insist upon reproducing them in the Imprint, do so in a critical, thoughtful manner and with reference to the type of film that would be promoted in this manner, instead of hiding behind mystifying phrases such as: “ Top Secret! is the kind of movie that is hard to analyze ‘critically’ because it was not intended for that sort of thing.” Everything cultural is amenable to critical analysis.

Imprint staff must be responsible for setting clear policies concerning the publication of sexist (as well as racist, homophobic and antisemitic) material, rather than collaborating in the perpetuation of oppressive structures and images that condone them.

Vogons are horrible

To the editor: Personality And Dispepsia. Douglas Adams wrote in The Hitchhiker> Guide To The Galaxy about a difficult bunch of beings called the Vogons. They are not the most hospitable group in the universe: for example, the best way to get a drink out of a Vogon is to stick you finger down his throat. They are mean and nasty individuals at best, and they write bad poetry as well.

Why would anyonk be so disagreeable or distempered all the time? Why would anyone live miserably from day to day and week to week? Largely because of diet, I would guess. There are three types of diets, and perhaps each is associated with a different sort of personality. It is possible there are herbivorous, carnivorous, and omnivorous individuals walking around, and that the Vogons are one of these groups. Could they be herbivores, or vegetarians? This could make them miserable. Having to eat salads every time they go to a restaurant. Having to shop in health food stores and carry around plastic containers everywhere they go. Munching on raw lettuce. Living on bean curd. Eating one too many bran muffins or drinking too much prune juice.

Sexism is pervasive by John Weber Imprint staff Sexism is a phenomenon which is pervasive in this society. It takes many forms and it has numerous effects on everyone in society. What I want to examine is how the prevalent sexist culture affects women, including the way in which they perceive themselves. Today’s culture is rife with messages’which imply that women should be primarily concerned with their appearance, in other words, in making themselves as presentable as possible to men. Magazines like Cosmopolitan along with numerous other fashion magazines and their advertisements come to mind. There are also the vast amount of commercials on television. Numerous music “artists” like Duran Duran, the Rolling Stones, and Roxy Music add to the sexist deluge which women face day after day. In this way, women receive the message that they only have value through their physical appearance. The problem is compounded when women see a society where their chances for substantial earnings and/or advancement in the economic, political and academic spheres are quite limited, although the situation has improved marginally. Many women, for instance, become models or movie “stars” because those are almost the only areas where society allows women to earn a substantial income. The number of women who are in politics, business or academia is still very low and this shows that women are almost shut off from involvement in these fields. The key point is that the emphasis on women’s appearances and the limited opportunities available to them in society reinforce and perpetuate each other.

We need CC parking by David Bain Imprint staff Now, I ask you, is it reasonable to have a building on campus, which provides services to both the student body and other groups, but doesn’t have its own parking? Of course it isn’t. True, it could be argued that there is parking available on the other side of the PAC. Of course, this lot requires 50~1 of your hard earned money. Which is reasonable, especially if your visit is of about five minutes duration; as all of mine seem to be. The main victim of this parking scandal is not. however, the UW student. It is the outside visitor who, wishing to purchase a UW crest fsr the leather jacket he or she bought for his or her cousin Phillip (who is a student here), requires only about 3.9 minutes. The walk from the PAC parking lot takes 1.2 minutes. Is this worth 5Oc? Of course, there is that empty space i,n iront of the PAC right next to the CC. I suppose it wduld make too much sense to open this area up to some form of controlled, time-!imited parking. It doesn’t seem to be used for anything else. There must be an alternative to the typo present options: parking half way around the world, or risking time and money getting your car back from those sadists who operate tow trucks in this area. There is an alternative’you, as students, just have to make your feelings known!

by Signy Madden Imprint Staff The top priority of Engineering Society B’s newly elected president, Alex McGoM’an, is to improve communication between Waterloo’s engineers and the outside world: the rest of the campus, the engineering profession, and the private sector. In the recent elections, Mr. McGowan gained 4696 of the 660 ballots cast. easily defeating his two opponents: Mike Hagley and Chris B ogdanow. Laurie Lawson captured 75% of the votes to win the position of vice-president, d_efeating Tom Schmit7. Ms. Lawson’s experience comes from organiring social events for the Society. “1 hope”, says Ms. Lawson, “to see more co-sponsored pubs and events with MathSoc and ArtSoc to eliminate the ‘us vs. them’ attitude on campus”. She also plans to organi7e events with other University engineering societies. Mr. McGowan, on the other hand, hopes to draw on his five years experience in the work force to “move the society’s image away from being just a social one”. Mr. McGowan plans to accomplish this b) co-sponsoring conferences with various professional engineering societies, and by bringing in a variety of speakers. Both the new vice-president and president agree that they will habe to stream-line the society’s administration. “We are facing

by Carl Davies Imprint staff The NORML (N a t’Ional Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) barbeque will be going ahead as planned this Saturday afternoon despite some trouble in getting proper approval for the event. The organi7ers of the event have charged that Federation President, Tom Allison, did not appear to be very comfortable with the event. Veronica Miranda, Treasurer/ VP of NORML, said that Mr. Allison talked of the “high risk element” involved and suggested NORM L hire an off duty police officer for the event. “Hiringan o-ff duty policeman would have swallowed up most of our budget,” added Ms. Miranda. Mr. Allison, who was visibly irritated when quizzed about the issue; claimed he had done “nothing out of the ordinary.” “1 met with them to disucss security and clean up” said Mr. Allison. “This is a common practice for such an event,” added Mr. Allison. Mr. Allison also pointed out that the Federation Executive unanimously approved the NORML event the afternoon he had the meeting with its organizers.

He charged that the people from NORML were attempting tc “manipulate the media” in an attempt to make him look bad. Mr. Allison said the real issue was that the administration did no approve the event after approval by the Fed Executive. Bill Deeks, Director of Administrative Services, said that he die not immediately approve the event, because of a new policy relating to non-university groups. He- said there was some question relating to the club status of NORML. As a result, approval for the even had to be passed on to the office of University Secretary, Jack Brown. Mr. Deeks added that the event does now have the approval o the administration. Mr. Deeks also admitted that he “had some personal reservations” about the event. The question of NORML’s club status had come from within th Federation of Students, according to Mr. Deeks. Jeff Wilson, vice president, operations and finance, said the question of NORML club status was never an issue at any Federation meetin< concerning the meeting. The barbeque runs from 1 p.m. to dusk tomorrow. There will b live entertainment and a number of speakers will be featured.

The Hyperion, a product of Bytec-Comterm Inc., is a portable personal computer that offers extended features and IBM PC compatibility. It is being sold at $2495, reduced from $4950, in a special offer to educational institutions, students, faculty, and staff. UW Dean of Computing, Dr. Wes Graham, says there are a number of reasons for the decision not to sell Hyperion through the UW bookstore, including political reasons.

se!ling computer equipment at the U W bookstore. Dr. Graham stated that utilizing the bookstore in such a manner seems “bound to come”. Bookstore manager, Elsie Dodds, says she likes the idea of selling computer equipment. Dr. Graham added that “since U W is recognized as a leader” in the computer field it must be careful when trying something of this nature. He said that he wjould like to ensure all angles are looked at before making a decision. The Hyperion is currently available through the WLL bookstore, at the reduced price. Dr. Graham said he is glad oi this because “It gives our students the opportunity to purchast the machine if they want to”. He added that he personall! thought the Hyperion was a very good machine and pointed t( the f&t that it Is entirely Canadian designed.

In a further effort to increase the society’s efficiency, the new president plans to reduce the number of directorships from 40 down to 20 or 25. This measure will also strengthen the “grass roots” position of class representative. “The class reps”, says Mr. McGowan, have begin to feel they aren’t involved”. By reducing the number of directors, Mr. McGowan and Ms. Lawson feel that debate will once again return to the representatives’ meetings and that decisions will not simply be handed down by the executive.

Mr. McGowan estimates that EngSoc B’s two term budget will be approximately $100,000 from student fees and revenue from various ebcnts. However, $40,000 of this is budgeted for the space expansion plans involving the society’s Coffee and Doughnut Shop, the Poets Pub and the administrative offices.

by Carl Davies Imprint staff At an Imprint staf meeting held on Friday, July 6th, a motion was put forth which “Move to remove read, George Elliott Clarke as Editor of Imprint if this motion passes by a two-thirds majority”. The motion was defeated by a 3 for, 9 against count. There was one spoiled ballot in the closed ballot voting. The motion was not an official reaction to the recent petition, calling for the removal of Mr. Clarke, that has been circulating mostly

throughout the Math and Engineering faculties. The legality of the petition is still being checked by Imprint’s lawyer. The president of‘ Imprint’s Board of Directors, Jaclyn Waller, hopes to present staff‘ with a firm ’ Imprint decision on the issue today. To date, over 500 students have signed the petition requesting the removal of Mr. Clarke. Ten per cent of’the student body is needed to sign a petition to force a staff vote on the removal of an Imprint Editor-in-Chief. If Irnprint staf‘f then votes

retain its Editor, a referendum must be held on the issue. The number of signatures on the petition does account for ober ten per cent of the current full-time student population that ha\zc paid their Imprint fees. Students that have refunded their Imprint fees, part-time students, and students that are off-term, have not been included in determining the ten per cent figure. If a referendum is to be helcl, on the question of removing Mr. Clarke from his position, certain problems cannot be

Garage is by Eliza

Garrison’s Garage Ted Johns Blyth Symmer Festival Are you tired of the high ticket prices and pedantic stuffiness’ of the Stratford Festival? Do you want to escape to rural southwestern Ontario for your theatre-watching? Well, Blyth Summer Festival may be the place for you. Unknown to mar-iy, this small kummer theatre near G oderic h has been running for ten years. The company performs new Canadian plays exclusively, and spends much-of the winter season workshopping new plays in progress. I had heard positive rumblings in the past about their work, and finally the opportunity presented itself and I attended the opening of Garrison’s Garage in mid-June. Garrison’s Garage by Ted Johns is a morality play about invasion of privacy. The culprit in this case is a very topical “bad guy”, Revenue Canada. Jules Tonus’s slightly surre‘alistic set, littered with old garage props, provides the backdrop for the action. In fact, if by some chance yc~ were bored with the witty dialogue in this play, there is much of visual interest happening on stage in the form of whole cars and parts of cars . and an immense ampunt of garage’ memorabilia.

pubs. No one knew about the pud. And how could they? The posters were only put up four days before the event. As wejl, Federation president, Tom Allison is still quietly propagating a policy against advertising in Imprint. So BENT is quickly becoming a casualty of Tom Allison’s campaign against the student newspaper. If you think that this pub was fluke, an unfortunate victim of mismanagement, then just look back at the last BENT pub, which was promoted by a massive poster campaign shot off three weeks before the pub. Yet, Katrina and the Waves will bear the same memorial: a good band that no one could go see because the Feds refused to fulfil1 their responsibility to the students and promote their pubs.

The story line hinges on a Revenue Canada agent who gets strended in a small town while his car is being repaired at Garrison’s Garage. The accounting practices of the ‘garage operator (played by Robert King) are revealed to be of the -crumpled-receipts-in-a-shoebox variety, and the civil servant is aghast! (It would no doubt shock him to learn that this is standard practice in many small businesses!) The taie of the so-called fraud is discovered and ,then undiscovered is fortunately interspersed with a highly amusing series of conversations between Frank, the mechanic who runs the garage, and Blair Daniels (played ‘by David Fox) from Revenue Canada. Frank sparkles with the wit of the common man; his interactions with the tax man provide a sharp contrast and some lively entertainment. Frank makes instant coffee with water from the tap, and plays “mix and match” with parts of the cars he has in for repairs. Blair on the other hand is more other-worldly, a former religious fanatic who now regards the Income Tax Act as the Bible. Issues of class, and money and education are treated here in a-humourous and timely way. Other characters in the pla’y do not fare so well; Lorna, played by Deborah Kimmett and the elusive Garrison (portrayed by author Ted Johns) seem to interfere in the relationship between Frank and Blair, and it only becomes

apparent towards the end of the play why they are there at all. Speaking of the play’s ending, I must confess that I was disappointed. I mentioned earlier that Garage is a morality play, but I must say that it is not a successful transition fromt he bantering repartee of Act One to the later moral&tic tone. What Johns is getting at here is clear, overbearingly so, but I would have appreciated a little more subtlety in the final blast against Revenue Canada. It is good, however, to see the theatre community striking back at an organization that has caused rnany ‘of its members untold .grief in the last year in a framework that is essentially comic. ,All in all, in spite of its .ending, Garrison’s Garage is a play well worth the 100-km drive to Blyth. The theatre itself has very adequate air conditioning and very hard-seats, but for 5Oc you can rent a cushion, knowing that the proceeds are going towards Blyth’s building fund. Garrison’s Garage a&four other plays are runnmgd Bl$h until September. For information phone 523-9300 or 523-922s.

Pukka Orchestra- rained otit by Carl Davies Imprint staff Last Thursday afternoon, July 5th, nasty Mother Nature rained on Pukka’s parade forcing the cancellation of the headline act at this summer’s free concert on the village green. The heavens opened during the final song of Jane Siberry’s set, forcing the crowd to scramble for refuge in the Campus Centre - the Bombshelter cou!d not have been more aptly named for the occasion. . The afternoon’s events began with a demonstration by two of the world’s top frisbee experts. A frisbee throwing contest was held, free frisbees were tossed out, and by the time Ms. Sibei-ry’s performance began - after a false start due to equipment problems - the skies were filled with plastic projectiles and brave skydivers (who presumably safely landed somewhere). Considering the distr’actions with which Ms. Siberry and her band had to contend, they put on a very commendable performance. Such distractions were not new to Ms. Siberry as she expltiwd to the audence. 1he last time she was in these pa& a frog jumping contest was held, and large green garbage bags hopped among the crowd during the performance.

Anderson on At times Ms. Siberry sounded like Laurie speed. Her vocal style was certainly a_n unique one. Her voice displayed a broad range. It is the kind of voice that can give one a distinctly creepy feeling. The music behind the’ lyrics blended very well, not overpowering the vocals nor taking a back seat to them. In the words Of one philosophical observer the opening act was “fine, just fine”. Unfortunately, due to the aforementioned powers‘beyond anyone’s control, there was no closing act. In a chance meeting before the show, three Pukka Orchestra members were loosely quoted as saying “Pukka Orchestra never gets stage fright”. However, the shock they would have received from the wet equipment would have meant going beyond the bounds of bravery. Programmer for the Board of Entertainment, Gary-Stewart, says Pukka Orchestra should be back in the near future, possibly in the early fall. He did add that it’s unlikely a future show would be held outdoors. But such are the risks in holding an outdoor con&r-t. We will just have to keep our fingers crossed the next time a concert is held on the village green.

blend of African instruments and horns. Every cut is very entertaining, but the best tunes are “Don’t Tell Me”, “Blind Vision”, “Murder”, and “That’s Love That It Is”. The cuts which might seem uncharacteristic of the band are “Time Became the Tide”, “See the Train”, and “The Day Before You Came”. “Time Became the Tide” is a tender love song performed using only woodwinds and stringed instruments. “See the Train” is an a Capella tune which is bizarrely reminiscent of the Oak Ridge Boys. Also, strangely enough, “The Day Before You Came” is a cover of an old ABBA tune. Don’t let these songs prevent you from purchasing this album because they add to its overall variety, enhancing the other tunes. All in all, Mange Tour is an excellent album which is full of surprises. It has a great diversity of styles, making this album very original and extremely entertaining. I highly recommend that all serious record buyers of new music add this album to their collection.

TERMS OF ENDEARMENT Monday,

Mange Tout by Blancmange has, to no one’s surprise, risen to the top of the Record Store’s chart in only its fifth week of release. On this albums, the two-man band from England shows us its full range of styles, ranging from danceable technopop to serene chamber music and a Capella. This ability to play a diversity of styles is a trademark of an extremely talented band. Neil Arthur, the group’s singer, has a very laid-back voice which sounds like a cross between that of Paul Humphrey of Blue Peter and David Byrne of the Talking Heads. The uptempo cuts off the album are similar to those of Reflex, but are not quite as commercial. The band uses heavy synthesizer lines complemented with a

Life After 0’11 : a renewable energy policy for Canada Robert Bott, David Brooks, and John Robinson

by Chris Jinot Imprint staff Canadians have been led to believe that they are faced with I two possible futures: “glowing in the dark, or freezing in the dark.” Life After 07I proposes a third alternative: a strategy for the safe9 economical, clean, and decentralized provision of Canada’s energy needs into the year 2025: the “Soft path”. The book is an interpretative synopsis, in a readily digestible form, of a report entitled “2025: Soft Energy Futures for Canada”, which was prepared by Canadian Friends oj the Earth for various federal government departments. The report is the result of a “backcasting” study: an analytical technique whereby a desired future is postulated and its feasibility is investigaled. “Thus”, write the authors: “instead of trying to determine what is like/y, a backcast focuses on what is possible ” Working on the presumption that a soft path s desirable, the authors conciude such a strategy is feasible. The soft approach, *we are told, “emphasizes energy conservaiion ;n order to reduce demand to ;-nandgeabie lev&s that can be met by renewablE, ecologically-sustainable energy sources”, while the 6‘ha:d” approach is based on a “Damn the torpedoes: fdi speed ahead” skrategiy in w!llch IncreaslJ?g eneY$?y pYOdUCi;On 31 any COSt is the i-lame oi l]le game. Ti-!c debate lias come to be know11 as negawatis v/r~ megawatts. Instdad of focusing on how to produce more and more energy, we must recognize energy tor what it is: a means iol achieving an end. People don’t want crude oil; they want to be warm in the winter. People don’t want electricity; they want to be able to use their Snoopy electric toothbrushes. Thus, we should be focusing on how to provide the goods and services themselves, in the safest, cheapest way possible. Alongside the idea of energy conservation runs the concept of end-use efficiency: using the right kind of energy for the job in hand. Even if Ontario Hydro does want you to “Go ilectric”, it seems silly to burn fossil fuels to heat water to run turbines to generate electricity to be transmitted across kilometers to newer uour baseboard heater to keeP vour house warm when $u co;fd be heating it with a gas fu&ace in your basement.

The second section, “The Soft Results”, breaks down energy end-use demand into four categories - comfort heating, proces s heat, liquid fuel, and electricity-specific - and focuses on how demand would be controlled and satisfied by a soft energy policy. . Here, concepts such as energy quality come into play: electricity, of example, is a “high quality” energy form: it is specific, controllable, speedy, safe, clean, versatile, and, alas, expensive. It should not be wasted by being used where lower quality energy would suffice. Peat moss is relied upon in force, and the electricity demand ,curve is miraculously flattenned out as if eroded by force of hope alone. The third section, %“The Soft Strategy:“, probes the most sensitive issue of the study: the question of the political feasibility of the soft path. The nature of the soft path is that of a small-scale, decentralized, many-headed beast. On the pro side. decentralization increases sytem efficiency, resilience, and adaptability, while decreasing vulnerability and inequity and enhancing democratization of th energy industry. On the con side, the many-headed beast is locked in mortal c:3mbat with that blustering champion of bureaucratic mindset: the pork barrel. Jdere also are introduced some ot the conservative technologies which would be used to reduce energy demand: more efficient new buildings, passive solal design, increased ei-!yine efficiency, eleci-rificatioll oi railway lines, cogerieration, rcc ycl~ny, retrofittin:g of existinq buildi?l2s, low-flow shower hea-&,, and insulation‘ ail silnple;‘all avaiiable now; all tried and tit??. On the other hand: the sofl path supply-side proposals are, paradoxically, both a bit far-tetched and a bit of a cop-out. For instance, a mind-bogglingly enormous biomassmethane! industl y has to materialize from nowhere. As well, all the nuclear and hydro-electric megaprojects now under way are counted upon to get us through the next half century, as well -as a fair chunk of the existing coal-fired generating capacity. Life After Oil is topped-off with a province-by-province profile of energy supply, and use, and a slew of (yech!) tables in the appendices. My overall feelings about the book are mixed. I have a general aversion to any kind of study with futurological pretensions, which was not attenuated to any great degree after having gone through this one. It was peppered with tables and graphs that were uninteresting and, for the most part, unintelligible. It was vague

“Don’t think, dance” Trans-Altlantic Jon St. James EMI - Atlantic by George Elliott Imprint staff

Clarke

Jon St. James’s Trans-Atiantic is a curious potpourri of music, a reverse continental drift of pop fusion, mixing an African beat with Latin Rhythms and European techno-pop. The album’s synthesizer-based sound bops between being new wave one moment and disco the next. Mr. St. James’ vocals display a similar cross-pollination of styles. He sounds much like vintage Elton John and a castrated David Bowie. The first song on the album gives a hint df what is to come. “desperate days” begins sparsely with a honed synthesizer African beat, and then segues into an electric guitar-dominated sound that could be heard in any new wave club. It is a frantic, bouncing number that deals with surviving an international romance in Europe. While the music is engaging, the lyrics may be tossed safely aside: “These are the desperate days/For young lovers”. “oogity boogity”, the hit song from the album, may also be enjoyed without paying attention to the lyrics. It is a great dance song, with a solid beat, easy chordal progressions, and a sound achieved by a shotgun-wedding of Parliament-Funkadelic (“P-Funk”) and Brian Eno. It has received play on Black American radio stations and has certain crossover potential. “When you dance with me/ everything is all right” is a lyric statement that belies the rhythm, happy in its music: a nervous disturbance--like snapping one’s fingers or tapping one’s fingers to the chatter of

machine-guns. “two girls dancing” is more of the same. It’s a combination of ethereal vocals lost amidst synthesizer syncopation. The song’s point is “Don’t think, dancer” like a condemned man in an electric chair. the title track, is bland, “trans-Atlantic”, flat, plain, and boring. “all shook up in love”, the last song on the first side, is a weak attempt at straighforward rock and roll. Filler. The second side of Trans-Atlantic is as dull as the first. “playback” commences, fades out, and commences again. It deals with cigarettes and radios, and real pop culture, ga-ga morals: “I saw you take my sister to bed”. The lyrics regarding “playback” love are nothing more than “a supersonic look at the things to come”, that is, a pack of nonsense. “the girl who seduced the world” is a nice, sexist song, if one likes nice, sexist music. “-Nights in White Satin”, the Procol Harum classic, is covered with restraint. It is a very clean version, featuring acoustic guitar and minimal synthesizer. It manages to match the original in execution, but not in spirit. It is, arguably, the best song on the album. IS anorner rnrowaway “soldier Ot love number, being nothing more than a few finger exercises on the synthesizer. In general, Trans-Atlantic, produced by Mr. St. James, is the work of an accomplished instrumentalist. Neither vocals nor lyrics are strong points on the album, but the music, speaking generally, is. Mr. St. James is a one-man band. This album may or may not be his first; but, whatever, there is promise here. With better lyrics and vocals, he could go places. In this album, Mr. St. James has created a testament to New York and Paris, Havana and Lagos, ’70s disco and ’80s new wave. It is a good, if shaky, start.

and general and not altogether convincing in any absolute sense. I@y reasons for feeling this way are rather abstract. To be frank, I found that the time-scale referred to throughout the text is quite irrelevant, because I suspect that the inevitable transformation to an ecologically-sustainable economy will be precipitated not by economic or technological developments (though they might exert a catalytic effect), but by a fundamental societal change in the perception of mankind’s relationship with his environment. This change is what sociologists call a “paradigm shift”, and I believe that it is the prerequisite for a major institutional transformation such as the one proposed in Life After Oil. The authors contend that such a shift in value systems is not necessary for the soft path to work: but I think that to believe that is either to underestimate the atrophication of our political institutions or to disregard that aspect of its implementation entirely. Otherwise, the book is undoubtedly a milestone. It is perhaps the first comprehensive outline of anything resembling a coherent and inherently logical energy policy for Canada. It is an invaluable introduction to the principles of, and justification for, a renewable energy policy. Life After Oil is a book I would recommend to anyone interesteh in the future of life on this planet.

by Chris Jinot Imprint staff We live in a world where power in the physical sense is power in the political sense. Sheikdoms, multinationals, cartels and corruption appear to be an integral component of the global energy sector. The same kind of market structure can be found in Ontario: Ontario Hydro is not the gentle giant it would have us think it is. Giant, yes: Ontario Hydro services one-third of Canada’s populanon: A Crown corporation, it is the second-largest public utility in North America, second only to the Tennessee Valley Authority. Ranked by assets, it is the largest financial institution in Canada after the major chartered banks. It employs around 30,000 people, none of whom are elected. Most impressive of all, Hydro’s current expansion programme accounts for 70% of all capital spending by all levels of government in Ontario, municipal, provincial, and federal., Gentle, no: Paul McKay, author of E/ectr-ic Empire, cites Ontario Hvdro as the prime example of a “public corporation operating in the corporate interest”. Its $21 billion debt load is strangling the provincial economy with interest payments of $200,000 per hour. Hydro accounts for over half of Ontario’s long-term debt, and borrows more money than the provincial treasury receives from all corporate income taxes and OHIP payments combined.

by Carl Davies Imprint staff Dr. Eric Manning, director of the Institute for Computer Research, said he is “very excited” about the various opportunities open to the -acuity of Arts for frontier

To gain some perspective on the massive capital drain for which Hydra is responsible, consider this: To service its debt, Hydro sends more money out of the country in dividends paid abroad than do all the oil companies currently operating in Canada. In fact, Ontario Hydro’s foreign debt was nearly equivalent to the federal Government’s foreign debt in 1982 $5.28 billion versus $5.55 billion. No other utility in the world would think of constructing a $12 billion nuclear power plant when it already has a 50% surplus of generating capacitywhen demand is declining: when it has not even attempted to institute any sort of effective conservation program; and when it is sitting on a significant amount of untapped hydroelectric potential. Ontario has created a Frankenstein. A 1984 survey shows that 3/4 of the population of Ontario are opposed to further nuclear development. In spite of this, Hydro forges ahead with a nuclear expansion program that will, upon completion of Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, make Ontarians the most nuclearized population in the world. It is time to bring this allegedly “public” corporation into the domain of fiscal responsibihty and public accountability.

Excitement was the word onthe softball diamondsasthe playoffs got under wayiast weekend. Several games were decided in the bottom of the 5th inning by I run scores. Before going into details, 1would like to congratulate.all of the teams for a very successful season and for their fantastic conduct on the fields. I would like all captains to fill in their recommendation forms and bring them into PAC 2040 as soon as possible. It will be very interesting to know what your opinions are ofthe league format, rules, etc... The top team in the fastball league, the Grad Club, made it to the A Championship Flight with a close win over the Skoal Bandits. Bandit Ball just wasn’t enough to overcome the strong pitching of the Grad Club. The Fergus Minks won a heartbreakerfrom Doug’s Dodgers 3-2. Also advancing to the A championship are the Lightning Strikes and Atomech Power. Lightning Strikes won in the bottom of the 5th inning against Eurythmechs 1 to advance to the semi-final against Atomech Power, who upset the Tube Sox. Four strong teams made it to the A Flight in the slowpitch tournament. 4s expected, the Master Batters, Econo’mics, and the Transporters won all their -games to advance to the semi-finals. However, the Reacuonaries showed some strong batting and fielding this weekend and may provide some competition for the top 3 teams. Glenn
