by Angie Salewsky Imprint staff ’ A former Wilfrid Laurier University teacher says she is “as happy as can be” after an Ontario Court of Appeal decided she was treated unfairly by the university when it neglected to renew her teaching contract five years ago. Ivy Bennett had a two l’ear contract with WLU which en&d in 1979. The university refused to renew her contract. but failed to explain why. In a recent telephone interview with WLU president, John Weir, the question arose of why Ms. Bennett wasn’t gicen any reasons for the non-renewal of her contract. He replied, “1 don’t want to get into details”, but he felt at the time it ufas appropriate. In a recent article in the h’itcllrrzer- bb’uterloo Rucut*c/. Mr. Weir stated that Ms. Bennett “didn’t have to be given any reasons“ for the non-renewal of‘ her contract. When asked whq she didn’t have to be give reasons, Weir said it was a limited term contract, and she didn’t habe to be told everything.
However, according to the rules of‘ natural justice, what was done was inadequate. The court held that Ms. Bennett was I treated unfairly because she wasn’t giben reasons as to why her contract wasn’t renewred. I\y Bennett’s lawyer, Jeffrey Sack said that his client is entitled to know why, and that it “may be a baseless allegation”. In an unanimous decision released September 26, three justices ruled that she w’as bound to be gicen reasons. “l’m just as happ), as can be. Justice has triumphed ” Ms. Bennett said. who is now li\ ing in Winnipeg and has her own social work practice. But before she set up her practice a month ago. she said she had problems finding work in her field after her contract ended. It was Franh Turner, Ms. Bennett’s dean in the social uz!jrk department at WLU who recommended against her contlact renewal. He said it u’as because of “student grievances” but refused to elaborate. Mr. Weir did not want to comment when asked if there were complaints f‘rom the students or indications 01 conflict between Ms. Bennett and other f‘aculty members. Frank -1 urner could not be reached for comment.
by Jennifer Johnson Imprint staff “We’ve done it before and we can do it again!“. This was the attitude of all those in attendance at the first organisational meeting of the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS), held on October 4th. The previous victory being referred to was in November of 1981, when the Feds first asked for the mandate to pull out of the OFS. The student body voted 2: 1 in favour of remaining
members. The group assembled consisted of concerned OFS backers, ranging from staff members to students volunteering f‘or a cause they believe in. The meeting was hurriedly organized, as the OFS was only given the minimum 30 days’ advance notice by the Feds of their intention to hold the referendum. The meeting was held primarily to allocate tasks and to discuss the OFS’s campaign to convince Waterloo students to support

teacher wins appeal Mr. Sack indicated that Ms. Bennett “had favourable e\ aluations 1rom faculty.” He also said that a random sample of students also evaluated her favourablqr. Ms. Bennett took her case to the Ontario Supreme Court last ,’ year to have WLU’s 1979 decision annulled. The court ruled in her favour. but the university appealed the case. In the latest decision, the three judges. Justices Sydney Robins and Allan Goodman, and Assoc.iate Chief Justice Bert MacKinnon. dismissed the appeal with costs, Mr. Sack said. Ivy Bennett has indicated that she would like to return to WLU. Mr. Weir replied “no comment” when asked if the university would consider hiring her back. Mr. Sack said that it is a peer decision whether she is hired back. The court cannot decide if‘ she should be rehired. but only “enforces a fair process.“ Mr. Weir’says, he doesn’t expect the case “will have much bearing” on future dealings with contract renewals, but “procedures ma> habe to be looked at in light of the ruling.” He also lccls thd\ it won’t affect l’acultb relations, they know cases can become compli&ted.

Mr. Shantz, who has been involved with Pollution Probe Ottawa and Friends of the Earth, stated in an interview with Imprint that WPIRG needs more student volunteers. He wants W PI RG to continue its work on conferences and speaker series that are presently brought to the public. He says there will be no radical
change in the direction of WPIRG. Mr. Kafieh, who has worked with the Social Justice Group, mentioned that he had no specific plans but he would like to see that WPI RG becomes a household name.

Support University of Waterloo students should seriously consider voting to support OFS when they go to the polls on Monday, October 15th. Naturally, the question should I support OFS?“. doing so are numerous.
Events ieds
may arise, “Why The reasons for
First, the Federation of Students’s Withdrawal Committee has’not given very persuasive arguments for not supporting OFS. In fact, the Federation campaign has been riddled with contradictions. Fed president, Tom Allison, for instance, has blasted OFS for being too costly, specifically citing OFS researchers’ salaries. Although, Mr. Allison has simultaneously conveniently forgotten his own bid in Fall 1983 to have UW students pay for an apartment for himself, and his own arguments for receiving a pay hike of 19% this year. This is only one example. Again, citing economics as the chief reason for wanting to pull UW out of OFS, Mr. Allison is able to find $70,000.00 for a sound system for Fed Hall, but cannot seem to be able to accept paying $40,000.00 to an organization which has proven its effectiveness in giving students representation both in Queen’s Park and on Parliament Hill.
And then, too, we have the spectacle of the man who’s just recently served as the treasurer of OFS, suddenly turning around and saying that the organization is not worth our support after he fought so hard for the post. One wonders whether there may be some personal reasons for Mr. Allison’s sudden opposition to OFS. He has stated thaTif Nick Parker had been elected OFS Chairperson, the current campaign would not be happening. (see story on page 3) The main reason, however, for supporting OFS is that it is an organization which allows students to exercise clout. It is, at its roots, a union of students. Hence, the membership fee should be seen as being similar to union dues: it gives protection. It gives one access to organized power that may speak and act on one’s behalf. Another reason for supporting OFS is that it links UW with the majority of other university campuses across Ontario. And such a link is vital, for UW, at the moment, has official links with other student governments only through OFS. Without it, we are isolated. What it all comes down to is this: $1.50 per term is a miniscule amount to pay for the professional research and lobbying work that needs to be done on our behalf. There can be no greater return for such a small investment. George

An open letter
Everybody knows.... Straight to Hell? by Zeke Gerrard (a pseudonym) Some people find that their religious beliefs stand in the way of full acceptance of gay people, and so today I will ~ begin a discussion of the relationshipbetwleenspirituality ’ and sexuality. I should ex lain beforehand that I will limit myself to discussion of e hristianity, partly because of its unique importance in our society, and partly because my knowledge of what other religions teach about sexuality is so very scant. I should also say that I, myself, am not a Christian, although I am currently exploring the faith and attending church regularly. I freely admit that my beliefs have been influenced by-secular, humanistic ideas, so if you believe that everything except the Bible is the word of SatGn, you can stop reading. Now the conservative Christian line on sexuality in general, and homosexuality in particular, is full of condemnation: Sodom and Gomorrah, fire and brimstone, lots of “Thou shalt not’s”. Every act is either perfectly good, or infinitely EEEEvil, and almost anything to do with sex isevil. SaintAugustinesaid that if a man has sex with his wife for the purpose of procreation, and he enjoys the act, it’s a sin. Pretty heavy stuff. I think “fundamentalist” is a misnomer, because the fundamental basis of Christianity if love, not legalism. (And before any simpletons jump to conclusions, I am not equating love and sex.) What the “fundamentalists” conveniently overlook in their Pharisaic quest for righteousness is that commandment to love one’s neighbour. Real love requires knowledge of the beloved, genuine understanding, not a simplistic reduction of human beings to a set of genitals that either to the Right thing of the Wrong. Mr. Falwell (“Reverend” isn’t terribly appropriate) expresses his neighbourly Christian love for homosexuals by praying that God will exterminate us. I’ll take honest hatred any day. There must be an alternative. An increasing number of churches are taking another look at sexuality and the Bible, and are preaching a more mature and understanding approach to homosexulality. These include the United Church of Canada, the Society of Friends (Quakers), and the Metropolitan Community Church, “a Christian church with a special ministry to the gay community”, which has congregations in Ottawa, London and Toronto. I’ve been there often, I’ve found warmth and renewal, and met many fine people who are both Christian and gay. There isn’t space in this piece to discuss their interpretations of the Scriptural passages which have been used to condemn homosexuality, but (although frankly I thought they were a fraud at first) I’m satisfied now that the interpretations are sound, and every “refutation” I read only convinces me more firmly that “gay is good” is true for Christians too. The me&age of Christ, the Good News, is not Saint Paul’s catalogue of who shall not inherit the Kingdom of God, but “that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) Whosoever, got that, folks?

To the editor: An Open Letter To All Member Of The Federation Of Students On October 15, all members of the Federation of Students will vote by referendum to determine whether or not to remain in the Ontario Federation of Students. The real motives for calling this referendum have not yet becomes apparent, and perhaps‘ never will. Just what prompted the Federation executive to attempt to withdraw from ihe OFS after years of avid and effective participation is the business of the Federation and its members. However, we, individual members of the Graduate Student Association, feel compelled to state the case for the OFS. The GSA has only held prospective membership in the OFS since January 1984, but in that time has often*called on the use of its resources and has come to respect its solid record of achievement. Our organization has had the benefit of effective field and research - support when negotiating, with the University administration concerning rates of pay for teaching assistantships, forming a residence council at Minota Hagey, and preparing a presentation for the Bovey Commission, to cite only a few examples. The OFS has grown since the 1970s from a motley collection of student activists on various campuses across the province into a much more professional organization with a strong structure and sound management. It has developed a relationship with the Government of Ontario, and the Ministry of Colleges and Universities in particular, based on frequent communication and frank dialogue. This relationship has now reached the point where the Minister of Colleges and Universities seeks the opinion of OFS on any matters of importance to students,- before they are pursued through legislation. its opinion is not always heeded: but at least it-is requested. In today’s political environment, politicians can only comprehend and respond to public concerns if they are prompted in an orgamzed and articulate way. The group, not the individual, has become the constituency. It is theiefore encumbent on people with similar interests to-work together to speak as one unified voice so that their interests to work together to speak as one unified voice so that their interests do not get lost among all the rest. We students, being people with similar interests, have now organized ourselves and are finally beginning to be heard. After years of work, we simply cannot afford to give it all up.

On Residences by Shayla Gunter The first thing I checked out at this school was, of course, my room. I tried to picture everything inside as I struggled to fit the key into the door which would open to reveal the place where 1 would ‘dwell when I was studying, sleeping, not partying or just being bored. It was then that my fears surfaced. Would the bed sink? Would my closet be smaller than a breadbox? Where would 1 keep my 120 tapes. and the biggest question...Would there be room for a fridge? What a surprise! As far as dorm rooms go, mine wasn’t half bad. 1 had a single - a lucky thing for anyone who would have been my roommate because I snore something awful! The room was fair-sized and had ample storage space. More closet space than in my own home bedrooA! Of course, with the good things in life come the inevitable complaints. All I want to say to whomever runs the villages is: “TURN ON THE HEAT BEFORE NOVEMBER! PLEASE!!!” I mean, 1 woke up the other morning and my feet matched my royal blue p.j.‘s! That should say it all. The only oiher real complaint I have is that those damn cork boards are just too thin, I can hear my next door neighbour sleeping! As for my house, well, it’s nice. One floor is wild, another is dull, and the last is half and half. The interbreeding of students from all four years is great because the first year kids meet the fourth years’ friends and everyone parties together! The parties have to be the best thing about living in the villages. There seems to be one going on every night, Just turn on that built in “fun” radar that all students have in them and seek out the rooms with the music and laughter pouring from them. A fabulous time is guaranteed! Oh, by the way, if you live in a village and were thinking about sleeping on a Saturday night, forget it. Change into ,something comfortable, use some Visine and join whoever is having the most fun; be it a wild party or a game of Trivial : Pursuit. Most importantly, remember this. Like it or not, you’re stuck living here at least until the end of the year, so the best thing to do is brighten up your room with reminders of your friends and good times from home and make the best of dorm life!

Gerrard wrong about Christ by David Bonser & David Hawley Zeke Gerrard appears to find that his sexuality stands in the way of his full acceptance of Christian religious beliefs. He correctly points out that love is the heart of Christianity, but he misunderstands the interrelated Christian concepts of love and obedience. Because of his error, Mr. Gerrard thinks that he can get the best of two worlds; we feel that he will get neither. Jesus demonstrated the close tie between love and obedience in the Christian faith when he summed up all the “shalts and shalt nots” as “Love God” and “Love your neighbour”. First of all, we have to believe that God exists if we are to love Him. The kind of belief we are talking about comes from a sincere inquiry, moves from our heads into our hearts and lives, and causes us to re-evaluate our preconceived ideas and lifestyles. Love is a heartfelt belief in God and His personality, such that we want to please Him and be like Him. The God who created us to love Him, who sent His only son to die to restore our relationship with Him, is worthy of our admiration, love and respect. His character is revealed in His dealings with us and in His commands. If we really love His character and want to be like Him, then we want to be obedient to these commands. True Christian love for other people wants them to have the same.obedient love towards God, and while it accepts and respects them as individuals, it cannot condone disobedience to God. Obedience results in living in harmony with Him and all He made: ourselves, others and nature. Living in disharmony will not only be judged by God, it will hurt us now, although this may not be immediately apparent. Homosexual behaviour is one of many forms of disharmony. But other forms, such as pride and lack of compassion for others, are much more serious. None of us lives in perfect obedience, and we all need to change our attitudes and allow God to change us. The Bible talks of sex, love, and marriage in very positive terms, and in fact a whole section is devoted to a love poem between a Hebrew king and his bride. The “conservative Christian line” recognizes sexuality and affirms sexual behaviour in its appropriate context, the lifelong bond between olle man and one woman. Tne majority of Christian thinkers disagree with the bible interpretation of those who defend homosexual behaviour. &While it is wrong not to care for and respect homosexual individuals, the “more mature” approach by a minority of religious groups which accept homosexual behaviour is also wrong, and does a disservice to the name of Christianity and to its adherents. The message of Christ is that whosoever believes in Him will not be discarded by God but will have an eternal life in joyous harmony with God, His creation, and himself. With Zeke we affirm that God has included us all in the “whosoever”, but we must reiterate that the key is an honest belief, and the obedience to which it leads.
Artsies, study math! by T. A. Grier We average people can become easily depressed in an environment such as at UW, surrounded by people getting mid-90’s in systems design engineering, or physics, or some similar ridiculously technical course. It sometimes gets difficult to remain proud of that B minus or B plus you earned last term. What we have to do is put aside the notion that marks are everything. Admittedly, this gets increasingly difficult in the upper years, but we have to stop avoiding interesting courses because of the mark it might result in. Most of us are here for an education, and the best type is a liberal one. Artsies, take a math or a science course. Too many times I’ve heard complaints that engineers don’t take enough Arts courses. Well, what about you‘? 1 suggest you broaden your horizons and look for interesting courses in faculties other than Arts. You can do it, it is perfectly legal. Put yourself to the test, the worst you can do is fail. Engineers, mathies, scientists: Repent! Don’t waste ALL your electives on courses within your faculty. Many universities, this one unfortunately excluded, have adopted a liberal education program. This is designed to give students in your faculties adequate exposure to the Arts. 1 can assure you that demonstrating a broad knowledge of fields other than your own will impress any interviewer.

Don’t Take Them For Granted ,
By Hilkka McCallum Imprint staff “...And there was this woman, she was dressed in men’s clothing. She looked a TYPICAL FEMINIST.” I’m tired of this kind of rash insult. I’ve always been stumped when trying to imagine the “typical feminist”. What characterizes her, the cigarette hanging out of the side of her mouth. I don’t smoke. Does she wear aftershave and ties? I don’t. I wear jeans and running shoes. But, does she stand up for equal rights because she believes women are intelligent beings? I do. Some women don’t understand how feminists have made life easier. Women should be proud of their feminist predecessors because those feminists were able to liberate the entire female population from ridicule and scorn. Feminists were never up against any Attilla-The-Huns. Instead they were threatened daily by insidious, reactionary societies who would rather forget that women are people too. It seems impossible that feminists at the turn of the century were pitted against such magazines as The Ladies Home Journal, which was supposedly the standard of womankind. For instance, in 1908, the Journal was preaching such ideas as “Of what value are papers, copied from encyclopedias and illdigested, on Egyptian art, medieval literature and what-not, compared to such a community work that would make the face of the earth more beautiful and the people more content?’ Of course cleaning up the environment benefits everyone, but why should the onus rest on women?

Where are these planning activists to spring from? Don’t count on the University of Waterloo to produce radical planners. In the School of Urban and Regional Planning, the radical left is simply out of phase. Liberalism, on the other hand, is acceptable but not really understood. Today, student planners are hiding behind the facade of the conservative idealogy. The reason: they want to play it “safe”. In their minds, playing it safe is the only practical approach to problem solving. Consequently, in their efforts of being “practical’, they blindly accept archaic theories and idealogies inherent in the School of

Time Planning. (Famous among planning students are Decentrist Theories, and Subdivision Design.) Granted: the idea of being a radical planner in today’s shrunken job market is ludicrous. But should students be concerned with ways to diffuse in the planning labour force? Should they be concerned with the “How” in planning rather than the “Why’? Student planners must have the moral obligation to broaden planning theories and constructively dispel some of the naive or unwarranted elements of social change. Rizaldo Padilla
To the editor: 1 would like to ask Tom Allison one question. Can he explain to me why it is alright for students to spend $7.50 per term to finance Fed Hall and not $3.00 a term to be part of a student organization such as OFS? 1 am baffled by his logic. The price of two glasses of draft gives each student a chance to be part of a provincial organization for his, her benefit. On top of that, our Federation of

Ocer- the past couple of years, while Tom Allison has been your President, Waterloo has demanded, and gotten several things from the OFS. In September 1983, Tom Allison said that Waterloo wanted more say in the running of the OFS. At the September 1983 OFS Conference, Tom Allison was elected to the OFS Executive as a Member-at-Large. Tom Allison still cried that Waterloo did not have enough power within OFS. In January 1984, OFS instituted “weighted voting”, a system of voting at OFS Conferences which gave Waterloo and a few other larger schools more votes than everyone else. My school and the rest of the northern schools went along with this in order to keep Waterloo happy, even though we lost a great In June 1984, Tom

To the editor: OK represents over 200,000 students across Ontario. Over the past twelve years, OFS has worked to insure that the politicians, university administrators, and the media are made
aware of student issues and concerns and more importantly, respond in a positive manner. Through excellent research, intensive lobbying and campus organizing, OFS has won tangible victories for students at Waterloo and students across the province. OFS lobbying was successful in removing the 70/i sales tax on residence meals; thia saved each residence student OLCI-$100.00 per year. Each year OFS has successfully pressured the Minister to increase the OSAP cost of libingallowance. OFS has pressured both the provincial and federal governments to Increase lunding i‘or summer employment programs. These are direct benefit, that students ha\e received by being members of OFT. AboLe and beyond the tangible benefits, OFS has provided students with direct access to the decision makers, and through their work ha\ e created PI-O\ince wide a dynamic pressure group of students that plays an integral role in policy development. Why this re!‘erendum, and why now? Tom Allison, the Federation President, seems intent on pulling out of the provincial organisation. What are hts motives? At the past June conlercnce of‘ the OFS he was committed enough to run and be elccted to the position of OFS treasurer. Over the past 3 months what ha5 caused such a dramatic turnabout in his thinking? Majpbe this is strict11 a financial question?

s for students To the editor: How ellective can an organisation such as OFS reaIly be at representing students province-wide if the majority of students from all campuses don’t eken know what Ot-S is and to what purpose it exists’! Answer: Not at all. OFS claims to be committed to lobbying the f’rovincial government in the Intcreste 01 students regarding educational issues; and so they jhould be. Yet less than one-third of the overall budget of OFS is spent on lobbying efforts. How is the remainder of’ OFS (students’.money) spent? The greatest portion goes towards the salaries of seven full-time unionised employees. These people, many who were one-time OES executive members who ha\e been hired by friends on the :xecutice and friends in the union, earn over $24,000.00 a year dnd last year took an average of six and one-half weeks vacation. f-urther, OFS executive members use OFS IUOLII-ces to deal with “pet peeve” issues: hon. for example. can OI-S justify ,pcndlng student dollars lobbjring tar Canada to tiithdra~,from NORAD amI NAlO a\ was mandated at the McMaster OFS Conf‘ercnce in 1983’~Hale Lou eker been approached bq,an OFS t‘ieldworkcr on campus “working hard at keeping in touch with ,tudcnts?” No? That’a too bad because fieldworkers cost OFS $1 10,000 a year! Meanwhile. students are facing tuition fee increases, a restructuring of their educational system, landlord/ tenant controversies and a seemingly endless slew of injustices against which they are powerless without an <ffi-‘c*ti\~evoice. The key word is EFFECTIVE. The- concept of OFS is good and necessary. Their current structure and operation is weak and ineffective. We have tried to “sit down and talk” approach. Tom Allison even joined the OFS executive, and worked for one year to try and effect some change -- all to little avail. A more forceful demonstration of our frustrations with the inadequacies of OFS was necessary, hende the referendum and our campaign to withdraw from membership with OFS. Interestingly. one week following our announcement of a referendum. OFS, at their Fall Conference, struck an Organizational Development Committee to review the entire organiration and to make recommendations for change at the January Conference. This would not have been done if Waterloo had not called this referendum, and if we are successful in withdrawing, you can be sure that the Committee’s recommendations will be acted upon. In the meantime it makes a lot more sense for Waterloo to participate in OFS only to the degree necessary and desired, as non-members. Our decision is not unique. OFS does not represent the University of Toronto, Wilfrid Laurier University, Brock University, Seneca College and George Brown College, to
name a few. The Provincial student movement we have now is stale, outof-date. impervious to change-and positive output. We feel we ha\ e reason to asl, that the students of Waterloo help themselves and join us in v%iqg “No thank you” to OFS.

Help from experienced individuals is very important to student representatives, who must acquire the sk.ills necessary to deal with 15,000 students and million dollar budgets in a very short time. Secondly, their full-time researchers can provide data on almost any topic of concern to students. Again, this is vital to a dynamic student association: by profiting from the experience of others, we can learn to serve students better. The OES is an ideal clearing house for information and ideas. Finally, the OFS is the one organization capable 01 representing all the students Of Ontario. This united representation carries weight with the provincial government. Alone, individual institutions can hope for little improvement in student aid, housing, fees, and so on. But the OFS has access to provincial politicians, and can make students’ voices heard. OFS has connections within the government are unmatched by any one institution; certainly Waterloo’s Student Federation President, Tom Allison, does not have the opportunity to meet with Education Minister Bette Stephenson twice a year. These arc only a few of the services provided by the OES. If Waterloo students are unable to see the benefits of belonging to the organi/_ation, 1 suspect it is because your executive has not taken full advantage of them. As a member of the OFS executive for the past two y/cars, your President, Tom Allison, has had ample opportunity to take advantage of the resources which it makes available to students throughout the province. His failure to do so is consistent with his poor attendance at executive meetings. Allison’s irresponsible attitude extended to his position as treasurer: claiming that OFS was experiencing financial difficulties, he found it w/as best to resign after only, three months. in fact, the OF‘S presently~ has reserves ot $44.904. Allison also feels that OFS wvorkers are ov,erpard. Mind y’on. Allison himself ncgottated their contracts. We might also point

To the editor: Dear Waterloo Federation Council Members: As you are aware. Waterloo students are involved in a referendum to withdraw mernbership in the Ontario Federation of Students. The central issue for withdrawing from OFS appears to be a financial question which can be divided into two points: (1) the membership fee of $40,000.00; and (2) whether OFS has anything to offer the students at Waterloo. 1 would like to address these two points separately. Although the students at Waterloo do collectiv!ely contribute about $40,000.00 to OFS, the membership fee is calculated at $3.00 per student per year ($I .50 per term per student). This per student fee was passed by a referendum at Waterloo, and in 198 1 a referendum to r-e-affirm Waterloo students’ involvement in OFS won 2 to 1. This OES membership fee is not a true part of the Waterloo Federation of Students’ operating budge as the money collected is intended for OFS to represent Waterloo students. Each student at and of OF-S’s 27 member associations pays $3.00 to OES. Waterloo students are in no way paying more than any other university or college student in Ontario to QFS. If the referendum to withdraw f‘rom OFS passes, the 1984-1985 fees are still legally OFS’s until June, 1985. Because the Board of Governors dozs not collect money for external groups, this money is collected by the F:cderation of Students on behalf of OFS. If W’ater! $0 withhraws from Ot:S, rhe Erderation of Students does nor have the right to keep collecting the $3.00 fee. The allegatiotr That the Eederation of Students can keep this money is a mitt1 . OFS dots provide !arge amounts of in;drmation to M’atcrloo students. As we are a “federation” oi students, we rely on the
member student councils to act as representattves of 01-s on their campus. Since June 1984, Ol% has had two maior conferences, a Bovey Research Open House, a meeting with Dr. Bette Stephenson (Minister of Colleges and Universities). the OFS INTRO magazine produced for Orientation, as well as regular phone contact between OFS fieldstaff, Chair and researchers and Waterloo Federation of Students Officers. As council members, did you receive the information and work generated by OFS from your elected representatives. The Waterloo Federation of Students officials di> participate in all OFS activities during the past summer, use -our research in preparing the Waterloo students brief to the Bovev Commission use and OFS researcher in preparation for the actual Bovey hearing. There has been a great deal of communication between Waterloo Eeds and OI-S, so 1 ask two questions: (I) Why have OFS materials and information not been forwarded to Waterloo students; and (2) if Waterloo Ecds were in any way dissatisfied with the worh ot‘OES, why was there no discussion or lodging of complaints before the referendum was called? The President of Waterloo Feds had every opportunity as a member of the OFS executive to initiate change in OFS for the benefit of Waterloo student\, yet he did not exercise this right. Why not’! We would be happy to discuss the issues surrounding the referendum to withdraw from the OF‘S wtth you, and try to dispel any of the myths which have been circulated. Please contact Monika Turner or Ellen U’axman at X84-I 770 or (4 16) 925-3825. Monika Turner 0 FS Chairperson

If you are everything and everywhere, you might as well not exist at all.” Mr. Marx is a very clever man who thinks he has made a point. He bristles his beard and stares coldly at his illusory companion. “Remember,” replies God, who by this time has found a throne to sit upon, “that I am Lord of the Universe. Not only am 1 everywhere and everything, but I am in complete control.” “Great, but do you control those who disagree with you. Take me, for example. I don’t even believe you exist. Do you control me? How could you? It is not ourjob to fit into your plan, if you even have a plan. It is our job to create our own economic and political reality that is sane and human. You have been the “Great Excuse.” Tomorrow everything will be all right. Blah! Universal love, even if it exists, is a sleeping pill. This dreadful reality that we are exposed to has got to change and we are the ones to do it. Faith is despair. Hope is fulfilled in action, and in action only.” He is quite worked up by this time. His eyes are intense and his beard seems to smoke. “And 1 know what you are going to retort now.” “O.K., I’ll say it: you, Mr. Marx, are God. Not only are you part of the universal everything, but you created this apparition that is talking to you now.” “Am L dead?” “1 don’t know. Why do you ask?” “Well, it all seems rightly strange. Maybe I am losing control of my faculties.” “That you are, but there is nothing strange in that.” God has transported them both to a country-side insane asylum. “Don’t worry about staying here, you will find your way out; what you need is to expand your Limited world-view. You see. without me you are stuck. Why are we here in the first place‘? and what IS really important in your life? Am I‘? Obviously not. but what makes your efforts worthwhile‘? in the quret of your dreams, are you tortured’?” “i am scared, Lllusion.*’ “And why shouldn‘t you be?

To the editor: Carol Fletcher, in a recent imprint editorial is as guilty as those she says hate “copped out”. She asks: “Where are ail the female engineer undergrads who helped to fund this paper?” I ask where are ail those willing to write and read a non-sexist humorous newspaper on campus? Although we have no ties with Engineering Society A‘s publications. we at Eng Sot B have held our doors open to anyone interested in submitting to our newspapers for the past year. We’ve had students from several faculties contribute. Our track record for the Iron Warrior and Heliograph is excellent. Critics should perhaps review issues from the Fail and Summer terms last year before they speak out.
To the editor: 1 feel that an important issue was raised in the “Soapbox” section of last Mieek’s Imprint: the tension between the traditional role of a university and the modern emphasis on technical skills. While it is true that the”techies” (math, science, and engineering students) often prefer to develop a facility in their chosen professions rather than an appreciation of the glory of civiii/ation, the tools used in developing this technical competence are as much a part of western civiiilation as are the fine arts. Ail non-arts students must learn something about higher mathematics, and in being introduced to higher mathematics these students icarn about the subtle beautics of civiii/ation and, more importantly, ail of creation. The stark eicgancc of a ~,eii stated proof speaks as much about the condition of man.
and indeed the nature of God. as a quote from Hamlet. The ordered universe that is mirrored by mathematics is not a spiritual vacuum ruled only by chaos. It is not a man-made playground ruled by computers. It is, rather, the masterpiece of a caring Artist. . Thus. the tension between the technic;1 and the cultural, between the arts and the sciences is really not the result of int1 insic contradictions between the two d.iscipiines. Perhaps this tension is the result of students, and faculty, concentrating their academic energies on their limited areas of interest. Mathematics gi\ c‘s thy student access to hundreds of subjects. Mathematict: is both an art and a science. Mathematics is not cas) for most of us. I‘HA-1 is the c+aq the Artist \\ants it! ISlark Ryan 2B Computer Science
While 1 can’t promise, 1 do feel that Eng Sot A would wticome humorous contributions to Enginews. If Fletcher and like minded people seek a non-sexist paper, ail they ha\e to do is contribute non-sexist articles. It’s no more dif‘ficuit than writing a negative editorial. although it is a lot more effectike. Next semester, wc intend on releasing a humorous newspaper at Eng Sot B. We haven’t done so since the highiq pubiici/.ed scandal surrounding the highly offensive pages of’ Enginews over a year ago. The newspaper will come closer to the Canadian University Press’s standards of non-sexism than even Imprint does today. Yet at the same time. it will be high118 entertaining for the whole campus. The paper will be staffed by former members of the iron Warrior from several faculties.
Iron Warrior will continue as the technological and social newspaper it is, with new and returning staff. If‘ there is any doubt as to what Fletcher calls “the engineers’ anti-\c.omen. honnophobic, egotistic mentality”, ail 1 can point out is that any prejudice is the result of poor communications. I hat is true whether it is regarding women or engineers as a group. I’d like to establish communications by welcoming 1:ietcher and members of the Universit) community to work on and read our publications next semester.

To the editor: I would like to comment on response, Mr. Kominck’s Imprint Oct. 5. First, 1 don’t believe 1 defined “burden” in my articic. but the definition he gave was not quite what 1 had in mind. 1 was using “burden” more in the sense of everyday concerns which we carry on our shoulders. It helps to be able to share these with someone. Quite honesti),. 1 don’t believe that “love” and “fear” are contradictory terms. 1 may illustrate this by my relationship with my parents. As a young child, 1 knew that
py parents loved me; therefore. 1 loLed them; but, it the same time I reaiic.ed that they had authority o\,rer me and would discipline me if 1 were disobedient. This instilled in me a healthy fear and respect f‘or them (and -authority in general). My relationship with God is much the same with the exception of the fact that unlike my parents - God is perfect Love, has total authority, and is wholly Just. He is in control, and 1 can and do trust Him. 1 agree with Mr. Komineck that “loneliness is a sad longing caused by the state of .
being alone”, but 1 would add that the sense of‘ feeling alone in a crowd is also loneliness. 1 disagree with his statement, however, that “the most fundamental possession separating men, is that of‘ a great mind.” 1 believe that the most fundamental possession separating mankind is his human nature which is egocentric. It is hard for us to understand that by thinking only of ourselves we alienate others; but, in giving of oursei\es, we draw others to us. Patricia Boyes Arts

While not zxplicitiy stated. the te,xt accompanying Mr. Kafieh’s photos implies that Paiestinian Arabs were uprooted b>p Israelis in 1948. Nothing could be farther from the trutl1.
In May 1948, Israel became an independent state. In proclaiming Israel’s statehood, prime minister Ben Gurion extended a hand of friendship to the country’s
Arab neighbours. At the same time that Ben Gurion was reading his speech, the armies of Israel’s Arab “neighbours” were invading.

No, the Palestinian Arabs who left were not allowed to return to their homes, perhaps because of their quickly acquired penchant for guerilla warfare. Let us not forget a similar number of. Jews who fled Arab countries at the same time, leaving behind their possessions and homes. It was the belligerent and hostile attitude of the Arabs towards Israci that sjlaped the early stages of Arab-Israeli relations.

Nader bashes Reagan by Cameron Wright WPIRG , “Ronald Reagan likes to associate himself with winners - the Olympic. athletes, Boston Celtics, beaches of Normandy, because he has so few achievements of his own”. So stated Ralph Nader before a packed house at Peter Clarke Hall, University of Guelph, on Thursday, September.27th. Mr. Nader, a graduate of Harvard Law, School and a longtime consumer advocate, was in Guelph at the invitation of the Guelph-Ontario Public Interest Research Group to give a lecture on “Citizen Advocacy in the 80’s: Challenging the Reaganites”. A handful of UW students were on hand to hear Mr. Nader \ lambaste the Reagan administration. The Waterloo Public interest Research Group organized a van trip to hear this consumer activist who was responsible for the birth of the organization 11 years ago. * Mr. Nader believes that Reagan’s association with winners is part of a political campaign based on personality not issues. “Mr. Reagan never gets involved in the details - for those who rise by the details usually fall by the details”. Ralph Nader was referringtothedemise of Jimmy Carter who became wrapped up in the Iranian hostage-taking incident. The bulk of Mr. Nader’s attack was directed at the discrepancy between what Ronald Reagan says and what he does. Mr. Reagan portrays himself as amiable, “making people-
Maintaining by Catherine Eckenswiller Imprint staff How can social justice be maintained in a society plagued by economic crisis? What measures can government and industry take to ensure that all citizens play an active role ,in an economy based on technology and productivity? The topic of this year’s lecture was the new social ethic put forth by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops in their most recent document “Ethical RefLections on the Economic Crisis” , published in May 1984. In the document, the bishops provide suggestions for altering the economy to meet the needs of all members of society. The speaker was Dr. Tony Clark, co-ordinator of the Social Affairs Department of the Canadian Conference of

by Dave Sider Imprint staff Recently, UW was forced to add several new resolutions to gain tax exempt status in the U.S. The resolutions were passed at the Tuesday, October 2, Board of Governors meeting. Tax exempt status was desirable due to the fact that many corporations wishing to donate money to the Watfund are branch plants of American companies. Usually the money comes from corporation headquarters in the U.S.. For the donations to be tax exempt, UW had to meet several Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requirements. First, the constitution of the University had no antidiscrimination clauses. This lack was the result of Ontario’s strict laws which cover the University and rendered any separate clause unnecessary. The new clause is as follows: “The University of Waterloo admits students of any race, colour, national or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students
feel good about A’merica” while at the same time he is cutting food programs for. school children and giving free reign to a “of the Exxons, by General Motors, for the government Duponts”. Ronald Reagan came to office promising to balance the budget, yet according to Mr. Nader, the debt has reached a point under Mr. Reagan larger than that of the -debt accumulated from George Washington to Jimmy Carter - a debt that could reach $3.1 trillion by 1989 if Ronald Reagan is re-elected. The 9;1.6 trillion debt that has been incurred so far, is the result of Reagan’s policy of massive military expenditures and reduction in corporate taxes. But it is the environment that has suffered most under the Reagan administration. Program after program has been underfunded or chopped. Mr. Reagan has encouraged weaker water and air laws, blockaded increased auto efficiency programs, and shut down energy conservation and solar energy projects. “One hundred and forty million Americans now drink water that doesn’t meet minimum drinking water standards” Mr. Nader said. Referring to his own university days, Mr. Nader recounted how he searched unsuccessfully for information on automobile safety design. “There /weren’t even any graduate students working on these issues at M IT”. So, Mr. Nader began to write letters to the large auto companies asking them questions like “what is the significance aerodynamically of tailfins and large
social justice An awareness I of these crises prompted the bishops to formulate the social ethic based on several priorities. According to the bishops, the economy should be reorganized so that individuals, particularly the poor, are at the centre of the economy. Furthermore, the needs of the poor would always override the desires of the wealthy. -
Catholic Bishops. Dr. Clark’s lecture discussed the evolution of the new social ethic from its earliest historical roots. Tracing the history of - capitalism, Dr. Clark depicted the -gulf that gradually formed between economics and social justice and he discussed the Roman Catholic Church’s struggle to resolve this problem through the past few centuries.
Work, added Dr. Clark, would always be emphasized for all individuals and the rights of workers wovh! always have priority over the maximization of profits. Economic spending would stress social needs over military expenses and environmental concerns over industrial ones. The social ethic also requires the participation of marginalized groups currently excluded from economic processes.
He justified the current need for the new social ethic by citing the present economic situation in the western world. The gradual shift away from social welfare in western economics, Dr. Clark said, has resulted in social crises ranging from ecological damage to family breakdown, not to mention the hardship of’ inflation and unemployment.
hood ornaments on automobiles?” He was, of course, aware that these types of ornamentation were lethal weapons in auto accidents. Mr. Nader urged students to get involved in student government and in public interest research groups where their voices can be heard. “This might be the last time you get to do something that makes you feel really good before entering the business world”, concluded Mr. Nader.

University will become vested in the Government of the Province of Ontario to be used for educational or similar govern-mental purposes.” President Wright and VicePresident Brzustowski have stressed that these additions are merely a formality to satisfy IRS regulations and not an admission of any shortcoming on the part of the University regarding discrimination.

1 SASKATOON (CUP) -- The death of an l&year-old man following a row,dy university residence party has prompted the administration at the University of Saskatchewan to crackdown on student drinking. Administrators, shocked by the death of Shawn Reineke, have ref‘used to issues any more liquor permits at the university for an undetermined period of time. Reineke’s body was found Sept. 29 in a residence garbage bin afer having been dropped seven storeys down a garbage disposal chute. Reineke,. a native of Hodgeville, Sask., was discovered in the early morning f‘ollowing a Sept. 28 party and died at the university hospital shortly before noon. Some residents say the body was covered with mustard, whipped cream and residue from a fire extinguisher. Saskatoon police confirmed that the body was covered in a “white foamy hubstance” and say they suspect foul play. Alcohol played a large part in the man’s death, according to police. They have questioned numerous people already. “I’m sure somebody knows something but we haven’t talked to anyone who does yet,” police inspector Grabowski said. Residence manager Neil Nickel said Reineke did not likely fall into the garbage chute, leading police to suspect he was shoved. “These are standard garbage chutes.” said Nickel. “We
are amazed that someone could in fact get in there -- if that is the case.” He refused to elaborate. Grabowski said although no one has been arrested yet, the charges could range f‘rom death by criminal negligence to murder. Roland Muir, assistant to U of S administration president, Leo Kristjanson, said he also suspects liquor played a part in the man’s death. “There is strong evidence that there was liquor involved in the tragic accident.” he said. Muir said no permits will be approved until the university’s current policy of granting liquor licenses is reviewed. He suggested the university may change its license reyuirements and stiffen security. Nickel added: “We are considering what we can do to have better control ovfer outside people while keeping in mind that this is home to quite a f‘ew students who have rights to have ‘i outside visitors.” Ian Wagner, U of S student council vice-president. said the council plans to fight aginst the suspension of’ liquor permits. ‘7 hey can’t do this f‘orever. 1 think this is just a quick reaction.” Reineke was neither a resident of the university residence in which he was f‘ound dead nor a U of S student.

The group invited the Royal Bank to set up a booth at Career Day at McGill, though the McGill student council had severed ties with the bank and two other banks, the Bank of Montreal and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Earlier this year, the student council denied the three banks the right to publicise their services to students in the student union building. A majority of McGill

by Jo-Anne Langley He had taken a gun to his head. His brother found him two hours later, blood spattered on the wall, with little bits of brain. So quickly, he had snuffed out his life, the easy way out. Life piles on too much, so many problems, like money and doors, in and out. His brother had mentioned he had to change the locks because things kept disappearing out of the small apartment he and his. mother lived in. His brother finally found his own key. She ambled along towards home, kicking the stones along the sidewalk. Step on a crack, break your mama’s back. Her life was kicking along, day to day. The stone rolled to a stop. She kicked it again, hard, rocks can’t feel any pain. Inanimate. No life, breath, no feelings. She went up the stairs to her door. She fumbled through her purse, looking for her keys which probably weren’t there, they never were when she was home before her Dad. Resigning herself to sit on the porch, she sighed heavily. It was a nice day, beautiful sunshine warming her nose, gentle wind wisping at her hair. Everything was fresh, springy, springing alive. She wondered what her friend was doing on such a beautiful day. How could he go on, knowing that somebody, of the same blood as he, had chosen to splatter himself all over his wall. Everything must seem dark and clouded over, foggy. A dark room with all of the doors closed. She didn’t feel right thinking happy thoughts. Life wasn’t a happy experience. Or maybe it was, but her thoughts were locked on death. She hated it. She hated death. It was keeping her from taking part in the growth. Behind her she could hear a bike coming down the street. It sounded like a Peugeot ten speed. It had been ages since she had ridden her own bike. Her friend had wanted her to go for a ride before IT happened. Where was her friend now? A bike ride: he always claimed, clears the head, especially if you cycle through James Gardens.
The bike behind her was coming closer. She turned her head to see her friend coming up the driveway. “Thought you might like to go for a bike ride...you know...to clear your head...and mine.” She was taken aback, of course. Maybe she should have expected it. Who wouldn’t need to clear their head, just like his brother had. Of course she would go. Her bike was in really rough shape. She had wanted to get it fixed, but things always came up that prevented her from taking it in. She was probably afraid it wouldn’t be the same after it came back to her. Nothing lasts forever. The two started down Eglinton, cars roaring by. She kept peddling, ignoring the presence of her friend. She could feel the strain in her thighs. It had been so long since she had ridden, it would take some getting used to, but she had to admit, it felt good. The pain became almost non-existent as she thought of reasons for the ride, to free the mind, to fly without anything holding her back. Escape. But reality was all around her, the metal cars, neon signs flashing in the daylight, people rushing, all with a purpose, confined in their square little automobiles. There was a stumpy looking lady at -the corner of Eglinton and Wincott, who was jumping up and down and screaming at her steaming engine while a little Chinese man stared on in disbelief as he leaned on his crunched up Lada. She had to laugh at the poor souls. Such materialistic minds. A car was ruined, they’re alive, what a disaster! Her friend rode on, not seeming to acknowledge the road at all. He was locked in himself. When they had reached James Gardens, she was at the point of no return. Her friend turned and grinned. “Almost clear now,” he said. They kept going, in stride with one another, past the warning sign ‘Bikers must give way to pedestrians, speed limit 20 km/h’, under the bridge and past the flower beds. They went by the stone drinking fountain that was not yet working. Her friend began to speed up, a challenge. She strained to keep up, was gaining on him when he stopped suddenly by a bench. She then slowed up behind him until her bike tilted to the left, enabling her to dismount. “Feeling better?” he asked. She was feeling better, but she wondered why there was so much concern from him. He was the one who was hurting, not her. She was pertect now, in comparison to him. “Of course. How are YOU’?” she asked with more concern in her voice than was actually warranted. He sat down heavily on the bench. He had a funny look on his face. He had a silly half-grin, but his eyes were looking far away.
“You know, ever since IT happened, everybody has been asking me that question. I’m okay damn it. Can’t you see that? I’m still me. I haven’t changed. Christ, you’d think my world had come to an end...” She sat listening patiently. “Look around us here, smell...the air, listen...Everything is so fresh. The birds...hear them? Sweet magical sounds. They haven’t stopped. Look at the bushes by the river, see the buds? They haven’t stopped growing...And look, look right in front of you. The Humber River. It’s cold, so cold. But it’s running, ever on and on. See it, constant motion! Those waves on those rocks, hear it? It’s laughing. Laughing as all those assholes who think everything stops because one person’s blood stops...” She was beginning to feel uncomfortable. He was saying things she should have known already.
“You know, when we were younger, he used to take me for walks along here. He...uh...used to tell me that life was like this river. Always travelling. Going from one thing to another. Splashing off rocks, bouncing into oblivion, always splashing back in. He never told me about the drops that strayed out of the flow and dried up on the sides. He never told me...never...ever...told me..”
by Randy Coates I told her then and there that I’d never cry and of course she asked me why. Well I guess it would depend, I say, changing my mind, and she cuts me off with that vicious snarl, why wouldn’t I cry? I don’t know I say through clenched teeth. I suppose it‘s because I’m a guy. And being a guy means you’re not susceptible to feelings? she says. No, I don’t know, I say. I don’t know what to say. She walks around as if she’s looking tor a penny she dropped on the floor. Her wrinkled forehead makes her look like a neahderthal. She looks at me as if through a fog and tells me I’m being immature. She says rather calmly (which surprises me), not necessarily. Won’t you cry when your father dies, she asks, and I say, I guess...maybe. I was never much of an intellectual so this kind of conversation makes me uncomfortable. She tells me to go so I get up and leave. Before I get into my car though, I run over and scare the hell out of her cat. I’m mixed with emotion on the way home. When I get home I go to bed because mom’s questions are always the same. She tells me I look depressed and I say, do you have to be smiling to be happy? Mom says it’s a start and before dad comes in to tell us, shut up there’s a ball game on T.V., I go to bed. I can’t sleep though because I don’t want to lose that girl. Just thinking about losing her makes my eyes water. I sit straight up in bed and I smile. I smile for God’s sake because tears are dripping onto my naked chest. I don’t wear pyjamas. Still crying (actually I think I am making myself cry more than wanting to) I pull on my clothes and walk past mom in the kitchen. She is peeling potatoes and she asks me where I’m going. I must be nuts to waste so much gas in the car. I ignore her and wonder if peeling potatoes at ten o’clock at night is sane. Mom does not see my tears. I get to her house, my face still wet. I just barge in and I see her at her kitchen table, eating a hunk of cheddar. I couldn’t sleep I say. She’s not impressed. Don’t you believe in knocking? she asks and I spurt out with a huge grin, Hey I’m crying. She hks up as if an elephant stepped on her foot and sa.ys I’m crazy. I stomp over to
her and brush the cheese from her hand and put her hand on my cheek. I’m crying I say and she quivers. Get out, she tells me, don’t be so stupid. I say, do you want me to cry or not? She says, get out, I’m not really crying. I say what’s the difference? She says I’m not putting my sould into it...I’m not crying for real. She seems to be cracking up. I turn to the door. I have to do something fast in order to save this relationship. She’s practically pushing me out the door, yelling at me. Then it comes to me, then it comes to me and I turn around and say I’m crying for everyone and everything. This takes her totally by surprise. She says, letting go, letting me have a chance, I don’t deserve to cry. Why not? I ask and I’m serious. I want to talk. I have nothing to cry for, she tells me. Then I look straight into her eyes and this time I really am crying. I say, I’m crying because my dad’s going to die and my mom’s going to die and I’m going to die and she’s going to die and I’m going to university because otherwise I don’t know what to do and people are being shot every minute and losing triends and... She looks at me and says I’m not making any sense but her voice has mellowed. She says, sure we’re all gonna die but not tomorrow. I ask her if she’s a goddamned prophet and say, what if I die tomorrow? She can’t answer that one so I say, would you cry? She says if I die, sure she’d cry. But I’ll be dead, I say, so I won’t know that you’re crying. Why don’t you cry now? I say because I’m crying for her and dad and morn and all the other people who are going to die. I’m not waiting to cry over a dead, unfeeling corpse, I tell her she’d better look at my tears now because she won’t see tilem when she’s dead. I say, what if 1 kill myself tonight. Won’t you feel bad that I didn’t see you cry? Then she cries and she almost topples me over with a hug. Her nails dig into my arms and her breath burns my shoulder. But I don’t feel stupid that we’re standing there like two big slobbering fools. So what can I do? I stay there for the night, calming her. I won’t say how I calm her though because that would make me cry all over again.
She put her arms around him. He needed to be held. His head wasn’t as clear as she had thought. He needed the ride, but he needed someone to be with more. The ride had cleared her head of so many things. But it was his words that had cleansed her mind, set it free. She had returned to him so much of what he had given her. She held him tight. Life was like a river, flowing on, you just had to watchout for the storms, crashing waves onto the shore, splashing them onto the riverside.

Imagine, if you will, the lonely authorof dime-store romance novels huddled over her typewriter in the dead of night. The harsh glow of her single uncovered lightbulb is softened by the layers of thick stale smoke which fill the room, as cigarette after cigarette falls to ashes in the dish beside her typewriter, which remains -- tragically -- untouched. Imagine, if you can, a night during which Writer’s Block, that deadly plague which strikes terror into the hearts of even the most stalwart of authors, descends into the mind of the coffee saturated writer. From a night of horror such as this could only come...Romancing the Loan. A stray beam of sunlight made its way through the solitary window of Julia’s room and alighted on the creamy skin of her face, causing a smile to spread across her full lips as she lay in bed. Her eyelids fluttered open, revealing a flash of green that drank in the sun’s light and sent it back out into the dingy convent cell, illuminating its dreariness until it glowed like a cathedral. Spring had finally come to Yorkshire, bringing with it the familiar scent of sheep manure and Julia’s last day of her twenty year stay at the convent. She smiled again, a little wistfully, as she thought of leaving the place where she had grown up, and going out into an unknown world. Dismissing her anxiety, she threw back the covers of her bed and rose to dress. As she was brushing her auburn mane -- which had spread wildly about her face and stuck to her full lips -- back to its normal silken sheen, there was a soft knock on the door, and the Mother Superior entered her room. “So the day has come when we will see you go,” the older woman said, with a trace of sadness in her voice. “You must know how we will miss you, Julia.” Julia smiled warmly at the woman who had so much influence over her throughout her life. “And I will miss you terribly, of course. It’s - it’s hard to imagine being anywhere but here. I hope -” The Mother Superior patted her shoulder. “Now child, there’s no need to be anxious about your future. You have been accepted at the most prestigious art school in London, and there you will learn things we could never have taught you. You will make many new friends, and see many exciting things, and with your degree in the Arts, you’ll have a good excuse not to work after you marry. There’s no place for worry now, only anticipation.” Julia frowned doubtfully. “All the same, I just wish -” She was interrupted again. “You are twenty-two years old, my dear. It is time you learned to fend for yourself.” And stopped leeching from us, she added to herself, as she gazed at her ward thoughtfully, remembering how she had rescued her from the fire which had killed the rest of her family and destroyed the manor that had belonged to her ancestors for hundreds. of years, and how she had taught her everything she could. “I am afraid that we, in our love for you, have sometimes been a little too protective of you. Now, I think, it’s well past the time when you should learn to protect yourself.” Julia, overcome with emotion, ran to hug her benefactress, falling over the carpet as she did so and knocking the woman to the floor. Apologizing as she helped her up, she cried, “Oh Mother Superior, there’s no way I can ever thank you enough for all you have done for me!” The nun regarded the girl affectionately. “Just seeing you as you are now, so talented and beautiful, even with that funny lump on your nose, is reward enough for me, Julia.” She glanced at the suitcases and boxes that were lined up against the wall. “Have you finished all your packing, then?”
“three
nuns entered
the roam”
“Yes. All that’s left to do now is to say good-bye to everyone. That will be the hardest part of all.” As she spoke there was another knock on the door, and three nuns entered the room, offering their services in carrying the luggage downstairs. Soon after, Julia found herself sitting in a taxi, driving quickly away from the convent, her-mind a I

haze of tears and smiling faces which would soon seem like no more than a dream to her. **************** Julia sat in a window seat and regarded her new surroundings, wondering with a heaviness in her heart if she would ever be as fond of London as she had been of the Yorkshire dales. Now, as a desperate loneliness was overtaking her, she doubted if this would ever happen. There were SO many people here, people to whom she would never speak, and none of them seemed the least bit interested in whether she lived or died. As it had many times, her mind relived the events that had occurred right after leaving the convent. She had found the flat the Mother Superior had arranged for her to live in without much difficulty, and on the same day as moving in had arranged her few possessions about her. This had comforted her for a while; it was pleasant to see the familiar things that had surrounded her all her life with her here, but everything else about her new home depressed her thoroughly. The cracked paint that covered the 0 walls, the leftover refuse and the skeletal remains of the last tenant, which she had to kick out of the way at night when she went to bed, all these things brought tears to her eyes. It would be a long time before she could ever call this home. She shook herself free of these thoughts. She had spent a night here now, trying to famiiiarize herself with all the strange sounds of the city, and now it was time to start her new life. She had to keep going, she couldn’t disappoint the Mother Superior by giving up after only one day here, and the first thing she had to do was to arrange her tuition loan. She went downstairs and hailed a taxi, and tripped headfirst into it. As she tried to wipe the blood that was streaming from her forehead onto the driver’s clean upholstery, she gave him the address of the bank and noted his raised eyebrows as he compared this prestigious address with her plain clothing and simple manner. “Are you sure that’s where you want to go, miss?“, he asked.
“blood
streamed
from
her forehead”
“Yes, I’m sure,” Julia answered confidently,‘but when she saw the place he took her, she was no longer as certain. The bank stood before her, gay and austere, and so foreboding that Julia almost recoiled physically at entering it, but she steeled herself with the knowledge that this loan was the only way she could pay her tuition fees, and pushed her way through the heavy revolving doors, met hanically smoothing her plain gay skirt and white blouse as she did so. Once her eyes had grown accustomed to being out of the bright sunlight, Julia found the office marked, menacingly it seemed to her, “Loans”, and knocked timidly on the door. A curt “come in” invited her entrance, and she crept into the room. All she could see of him was a head covered with thick, almost black curls bent in concentration over the large desk. He looked up briefly, rose from his chair and came around the desk, extending his hand. His eyes, steel gay and cold as ice, examined her thoroughly as she shook his hand, seemed to admire her beauty, and then dismissed it. “How can I help you, Miss -” The coldness in his tone, as well as the way his six-foot-four-inch height dwarfed her own petite stature left Julia completely at a loss before answering. “Miss Julia Thornaby. I’ve come to apply for a loan.” He gestured towards a chair, and then sat back down behind his desk. With a hint of condescension in his tone, he remarked, “I had assumed as much. The question is, how do you intend on repaying it?” “Repaying it.3” Julia had never been spoken to in this way in all her life, and it took every ounce of strength she had to keep herself from losing control. “I’l! get a job, that’s how 1’11pay you back, of course .” He stared at her in amazement. “You’ll get a job? Do you mean to tell me you don’t have one now? Miss Thornaby, that’s hardly the way to go about applying for a loan!” He was mocking her, and it was a strange sensation to Julia. She remained silent, fearing that anything else she might say would bring about more of this. When he sensed she wouldn’t answer, he asked,
“Tell me, Miss Thornaby, whatever possessed you to come to this bank, to me, to apply for a loan? Have you no idea who our usual customers are?” He could have been kind, sensing her ingnorance as he did, but instead he spoke sarcastically. “I - I’ve only newly come to London,” she stammered, “and I’m afraid I’m not terribly familiar with much about the city. If the Mother Superior hadn’t given me this address -” He interrupted her sharply. “The Mother Superior? Who do you mean?” She smiled. “I suppose I should explain myself. I was raised in a convent in Yorkshire, having been orphaned in a fire. It is only just recently that it was decided I should leave and go to school here, but the convent could not afford to pay my way for me, so I have been forced to apply for this loan.” Her eyes sparkled, remembering his incivility.
“Tony’s
eyes were
boring
into
her...”
“Had I known that this was the way it would be, I’m sure I would have gone anywhere but here.” The flash in his eyes matched hers, so that several small pieces of paper on his desk began to smoulder, and he busied himself stopping the small “That might have been a blaze before replying, good thing. What a shame you weren’t better informed.” He picked up a pencil from his desk and began cleaning his ears with it. “You must realize, Miss Thornaby, that I cannot possibly give you a loan if you have no job, and therefore no way or but to Julia it repaying it. ” He smiled apologetically, did not seem sincere. “Were you not unemployed ” “And if I find a job, what then? Will you be able to help me then?” With more condescension, he answered, “It is not our practice to loan money to individuals, particularly those who, like yourself, would be a great risk to us. However, if your Mother Superior was willing to vouch for you, perhaps something could be done.” He rose from his chair, as if in dismissal, and led her towards the door, holding her elbow gingerly as if he was afraid her poverty might rub off on him. “Why don’t you see about some sort of employment, and then come back to me? That, I think, would be the simplest thing.” At the doorway, she paused, looking up at him with challenge in her eyes. “Fine Mr. -” . “Mr. Tony Brockhurst,” he acknowledged, chuckling as he added, “That’s my name, don’t wear it out.” “Fine, Mr. Brockhurst, I’ll find a job, and then I’ll be back.” Without waiting for anything else he had to say, she strode quickly towards the front doors of the bank, trying, as she untangled her arm from the revolving door, to erase the feeling in her mind that Tony’s eyes were boring through her back into her heart. Once out on the street, Julia breathed in the air, which was all too smoggy, but felt to her to be as fresh as dew compared with the heaviness she had felt in that office. What a horrible man! Surely everyone in London couldn’t be as arrogant or impolite as he was! The thought of having to deal with more people like Tony made her hesitate about looking for a job, but just as quickly, when she thought of the attitude in him that had suggested he didn’t think she’d be able to find one, she was determined to find one, and fast. **++++++++*-Y+++*+*** Three days later, footsore and weary from working the two previous nights in a barely respectable bar in the West End, but all the richer from all the gratuities she’d received, Julia reappeared in his office, wearing a battle-worthy smile. He looked up from his desk as the sound of her entrance, and his eyebrows shot up in surprise. “Well, Miss Thonraby, you’ve come back to try again!” “Yes I have, and I hope you’ll keep your word. I’ve found a job, and I have four hundred pounds to prove it, and a note from my employer which states quite clearly that he’s willing to vouch for me. Now,” her eyes glittered with the challenge, “can you refuse me my loan?” Will Julia get the loan she needs? Will she live happily ever after. 3 Tune in ne,xt week for the second part of Romancing the Loan.

acric r by Claudio Cacciotti Imprint staff After last Friday’s (October 5th) Poets in Performance show I found myself loitering in the lobby of Seigried Hall. The show was definitely over but the magic of the evening lingered oil and held me there that little while longer. I think now it was better that I did stick around. After being exposed to such high and strong dosages of heartfelt intensity, a quick withdraw1 might have been too much to bear; the soul going “cold turkey”, if you will. Eric McCormack, a Scottish emigre, English prof at St. Jeromes, took the stage first. Mr. McCormack was the odd man out on the bill admitting to be a writer not a poet (dammit Jim!). He read excerpts from a short story concerning the life and times of John Knox, one of the very first Presbyterian ministers. The passages read from the text hightly explicit, vulgar, and very entertaining. One such passage tells of how a youthful Knox, out of curiosity, placed his newborn baby sister in the pen where his family kept a number of large hogs. The babe was promptly ripped to shreds in an orgy of mud, blood, bone and sow. It was during a grilling from his shocked parents that Mr. Knox found God. So the catharsis was complete. Mr. McCormack’s excellent reading of the text sent me swaying from nausea to lascivious passion in a few short minutes. work is very response from the audience. Ms. Musgrave‘s personal. Her minimal, almost obligatory explanations, didn’t help much in the comprehension of her poetry. Furthermore the structure of the poetry she read - long trains of thought transcribed into lengthy run on sentences - doesn’t come across well in the performance setting. Not that a poem’s entertainment value means a pinch with respect to the quality of the work. Yet, Ms. Musgrave’s hurried and unpaced reading seemed to detract from the poem and left me confused and feeling a little uncomfortable. However, knowing that a major theme in her work is alienation, then perhaps this is how Ms. Musgrave intended us to feel. Enter a bespactacled man, dressed in blue jeans and a suit vest, with a slight paunch and a receding hairline, with a maraca in hand, Bill Bissett began his poetry: a
my
jin heart jin jinn
‘TraGJ Da’Yb Dad 2 4? QQ spreads d aa % aaahh aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa jing jins jinng
All this being sung in a close approximation of some Sioux medicine man, performing a tribal rite. Bill Bissett, a BC poet born in Halifax, works with sound poetry. The emission of sounds varied in tone, pitch, and crafted for aural stimulation that is beyond description. Highly repetitive, Mr. Bissett’s sound poetry becomes incantatory. As I began to slip into a hypnotic state, a further complexity of Mr. Bissett’s work revealed itself. Messages, ideas, or perhaps a story, intertwined with the sound passages in such a way that chants and ideas flowed smoothly and continuously from one to the other. Mr. Bissett also read some of his more conventional pieces delivered with a neurotic stammer. One final sound piece, then exit Bill Bissett, leaving behind an overwhelmed audience. The last performer in the show was Brother Blue. Everything that sould be said about this man, has been. Moreover, it’s all true. Brother Blue’s (Dr. Hugh Morgan Hill) repertoire includes many of the traditional stories of western culture; folklore and spiritual stories from Africa, Asia, and other parts of the world;

Whether Juluka desires the politicizing of their music is incertain, but the fact that the two songwriters of Juluka, Johnny Clegg al;d Sipho Mchunu, are white and Black respectively, is bound to attract attention. Some of Juluka’s lyrics transcend politics and speak lightly of hope for the future, for example the hit tune “Kilimanjaro”: “I’m sitting on the top of Kilimanjaro, 1 can see a new tomorrow...1 cast aivay all my sorrow”; yet the verses of the same song seem to be

The song talks of “shadow men from the outlands” looking to gun down Bafazane because “they say he’s too lound and his people are proud”, but lyrics aside, the song’s rhythm brings to mind the Juluka stomp, immortalized in the “Scatterlings” video.

sharp observation of a situatioing hidden desires. The awkwardness is well conveyed by the lyrics but its subtle humour is lost in Dammers’ indelicate reading. (The song’s full potential was realised by Elvis Costello who covered the song with a light touch of sarcasm on his recent solo tour.) Undoubtedly, the album’s highlight is Free Nelson Mandela. This bubbly highlife swinger succeeds in not only raising the spirits but also raising the consciousness of the masses to the fate of the 65 year old African National Congress (ANC) leader, imprisoned for life in South Africa since 1962. For those interested, Nelson Mandela’s crime was attempting to fight South Africa’s “apartheid” system where the black majority is ruled by a white minority (less

In past weeks, there’s been quite a bit of critical salivating over the new movie A Soldier’s Story, which found its way into K-W last Friday. It’s certainly an entertaining pit ture and a fair degree of this praise is warranted. As well, the movie is intriguing; some cinema-goers rnay see it an an accurate depiction of Black army life in 1944 and others, as a simply murder mystery. Actually, it’s both of these, and director Norman Jewison, along with scriptwriter Charles Fulier, presents theseaspects with flair and adeptness. The lot of the eniisted Black troops at Neal Army Base, Baton Rouge: is not an inspiring one. Restless to see action in Europe, they must instead content themselves with such tedious tasks as

Friday,
mujer desaparecida mujer desaparecida En Chile En Chile
“There is a Woman/Missing in Chile.” These are the words sung by feminist singer Holly Near as a tribute to the hundreds who have disappeared in Chile. It is not unusual for a woman to be missing in Chile. Following the U.S. backed coup in 1973, thousands of Chileans have disappeared. Ms. Near drives home this point as she relates in her song the names of some of the rnissing women and that they are hiding, dying. Her song ends with the cry that the (Chilean) junta knows where the missing Woman is and it is a seering indictment of a government repressing its people. Ms. Near is touring with the Chilean group Inti-iliimani and the concert is an event that leaves audiences with some powerful social music and thought, as well as an exciting blend of folk and Latin American sounds. Music has always been at the heart of struggle and celebration. The cultural coalition of a North American singer with a Chilean ensemble brings with it, some exciting opportunities for a group like Inti-iiiimani. The group was very active in Chile before the coup of 1973, especially during the government of Salvador Aiiende, when Chilean folk music went through a renaissance called the New Song Movement. Performers such as Angel and Isabel Parra and Victor Jara
(who was later assassinated) were the crux of a creative rebirth of the direction of Chilean folk music. Although this movement is officially exiled from Chile due to the repressive regime of the ruling Pinochet government, it is still alive in the hearts and minds of Chilean people inside and outsideof Chile. “Ail our work since September, 1973 is inextricably linked to our experience as artists in exile,” said a member of Inti-illimani after a performance in San Fransisco. “Many times we feel we can best say things without words, with combinations of musical chords or simple harmonies.” Inti-iilimani formed in 1967 with the coming together of six men, all interested in the burgeoning New Song Movement. They are now based in Rome. Their songs speak of the human geography of Latm America and of their hopes, their right to live, love, work and be free. In the last few years, the group has gotten involved in music for films and tei evision, children’s music. Holly Near is a performer and songwriter whose artistry has been evident at every stage of her career. Ms. Near has never worked within strictly defined limits -- she defies ail stereotypes. There is an unmistakable sense of a very real person behind the songs of Holly Near -- the public image is pushed aside as she reaches out to audiences. Ms. Near appeals to all kinds of people because the insightful and often h&norous poetry of her lyrics share experiences common to everyone. In the past, Ms. Near has performed with Grupo Rais and Ronnie Gilbert, so it is not unusual to see her teaming up with Inti iilimani. The tour has been all over North America, spreading its infectious message of hope.

How many of you are familiar with the name Rupert Hine? Unfortunately, in spite of making some great music for the past few years, Rupert Hine has been a rather obscure name while the artists he has produced for,
like The Fixx, Chris DeBurgh and Robert Palmer have sold millions of records. Maybe now, with tip release of Wildest Wish to Fly, Mr. Hine will move to the forefront of the music scene. Wildest Wish to Ny is a solo album in the truest sense as the muiti-talented Mr. Hine sings, plays every instrument (save for Phil Palmer’s guitar), co-wrote every song and coproduced the album with Stephen Tayler.

The J-M Drama Alumni is a theatre group composed of over five hundred alumni of St. ,-Jerome’s and St. Mary’s High Schools who have theatrical participated in productions at the two high schools. This provides a unique situation in which both high school students and alumni, some presently attending U of W, can work and learn together in an informal atmosphere. The alumni themselves form a support group, acting on an advisory level, during the production of extracurricular high school shows. The alumni form the collective and have students assisting them in their work. Whether it involves set construction in which there
are the majority of high school students or publicity, ail participate in and help the alumni in all aspects involved in putting together a drama production. Shows in the past have included the Odd Couple and the massively successful West Side Story which a $22,000 profit showed despitg its $3cJ,OOO budget.

by Sandy Townsend Imprint staff ‘“Too close, it was far too close for comfort”. shouted a hoarse but enthusiastic Mark Harperafter last Wednesday’s triumph over the very tough Guelph Gryphons. The match was played under the lights at Guelph and the Warriors were able to send the home crowd away quite disappointed. The visitors headed back to Waterloo victorious by a count of 6-3. The coaching staff was pleased with the “total team effort, especially the defensive play” but they were slightly upset that the offence could only manage six points. The Gryphons produced an enterprising and n*able pack who galloped across the turf with an athleticism and wiliness that stretched the Warrior defence almost to the breaking point. The Warriors did not help their case as they gave away more than enough silly penalties for Cuelph to win. Fortunately for Waterloo, the Gryphon kickers were absolutely abysmal, converting only one in six attempts. After the game the Guelph coach sarcastically screamed, “My kingdom, my kingdom, my kingdom for a kicker” The Warriors’only points came in the middle of the first hall’ when flyhalf Peter Keir do\e over in the left corner to score a try. It was a strong team effort which allowed Keir to gain the line. The Warriors had Guclph under pressure and were forcing the Gryphons to make mistakes as they attacked deep in the Guelph end. From a scramble near the Gryphon line, Paul

The Warriors, who have been struggling of late, practiccd controlled play last week. and it has paid off. They appear&l in control Saturday against McMaster. and the better team in the loss to W’estern. East Saturday’s game was oil‘ to a quick start when just ten minute5 into the game Waterloo scored what Coach John Vincent cal!ed ‘“the prettiest goal this season”. I he play originated in the Waterloo end when Bobby Boettcher took the ball. and started a passing play that included rookies Jim McGuirk and Carry Cooper, and veterans Tommy Abbott, Mark Forster and Peter Gardiner. The seiies of eight or nine passes. which , was exactly what the Warriors pra&ed last week, culminated in Forster f’inding Gardiner unmarked, Gardiner walking through the McMaster defence and placing the ball underneath the McMaster keeper. If the Warriors had been a little more accurate around the McMaster net the score might have jumped higher, however, the score remained 1-O. This sets the scene for a heated rematch when these two teams will meet in two weeks time at Columbia, as the game was very physical. The game last Sunday, October 7th, against Western was a disappointment to the players, Vincent and the many parents that attended the game, as the Warriors played well enough
Toon broke to his left. He was held up but managed to get the ball to Dan Ingoldsby who then shovelled the ball to Keir. Keir eluded one tackler and fell into the endzone. From a difficult angle, P&u1 Toon converted the try and the Warriors led 6-O. Keir, a neat and elegant player, did not receive the sharpest ob service but he controlled things well. His accurate kicking, including a left foot shot while under pressure, and intelligent play calling kept the Gryphon defence asking questions all night. Guelph refused to wilt under the Warrior attack and th& began to struggle back. Assistant coach Sandy Townsend noted that, “the entire back row played ebpecially weil. Their aggressikre tackling and strong positional play ga\‘e the Gryphons \ery little room to marlouvre”. Guelph scored their three points late in the second half but it was a case of too little, too late. The game seemed to drag on far past the normal finishing
to win the game, but found themselves behind early once again, and ended up losing 2-O. The Warriors made their “usual” error earl\ in the game. but this time it cost them.

Against Western, they had many chances but failed to put the ball in the net. Now, as Vincent says, the Warriors are “in a must-win situation every game” for the remainder 01 the season.

by Bobby Butts Imprint staff 3n October IOth, the Waterpolo Warriors squeaked past the Western Mustangs 1 l-10 in a hardfought match. This was Waterloo’s 1st game’ of the season, and player-coach, John Saabas was pleased with how the team had come together to play as a unit since their last games in a York
time. When the final whistle sounded it was a jubilant but exhausted and victorious Warrior side that left the pitch. III the curtain-raiser to the Warrior game, the Trojans defeated their Guelph counterparts by a margin of 12-7. Scoring for the Trojans were Peter Thistlewaite and Jeff Sally, with kicker par extraordinaire Steve Dulhanty chipping in with two converts. The Trqjans controlled most of the play but they were ineffective in capitalizing on their scoring chances. For those who are awake tomorrow afternoon, the Trojans and the Warriors are participating in their annual Oktoberfest Rugby 1 ournament. There are teams entered from all over the pro\ ince. The games begin around 10:00 a.m. (depending on the condition of the pla>rers) and end at 4:30 p.m. So, if you are looking for sun and fun on Saturday afternoon come oc’cr to Columbia Fields, where there is nothinn to fear but beer itself.

The game, against the K-W Titans, will be in the PAC at 8:00 p.m. This is a change in the announced schedule. Waterloo has a much different look this year with eight players from last year’s line up not returning.
Randy Norris will be rejoining this year, and at 7 feet will be the lonely “big” man on the squad. Returning players include Peter Savich, Rob Froese, Paul Boyce, Dave Moser, and Bernie Alvarez. Harry van Drunen is returning after a year’s absence to provide some needed experience to a team featuring a good number of rookies. Out of what was a strong rookie camp, three players
come with a lot of promise for this, and coming years. Dave Schneider, a St. Jerome’s grad from K-W, is a provincial basketball development program lead guard. Another graduate of the provincial program is Jerry Nolfie. Another rookie guard is Craig Beda, Waterloo, noted for aggressive play in the past, will still be competitive, but probably will pass and work the ball in more often.

Last week, I went through a profound change in the way I follow sports. During the long summer months, 1“watched” and followed my favourite sports via the newspapers, the magazines, the T.V. screens in bars, and, of course, the radio. Most week nights, I could be found in my living room listening to Tom Cheek calling the play-by-play as the Blue Jays fell victim to the dog days of summer, not to mention the Tigers. Without the benefit-of a T.V., 1had my own impressions of what happened when Alfred0 and Damaso turned a ground ball into a double play, of Dave Collins going for the extra base, or the “Shaker” striding under a high fly ball. Those imbressiohs, no matter how wrong they may have been, were mine only and 1 liked that. Well, what happened last week, if you haven’t guessed by now, is that I got a new T.V. Now, my viewing habits will be fundamentally altered. My eyes and ears will be assaulted by the images and sounds of that T.V. sports throws at you. Fortunately, my new toy will have arrived after the “mouth that roared”, Howard Cosell, has left the scene. 0000, I don’t like that man. T.V. and sports are made for each other, especially baseball and football. Those two sports hatie,more that enough breaks iQ the action ‘for sponsors. But to make things even worse, the leagues have instituted “officials’ timeouts” to stop the play and , give the sponsors even more time to sell their products. The instant replay camera has given a new meaning to the word repetition. It may be interesting to watch a play a second or even third time, but to view it seven ‘or eight times from six new angles is boring. If the umpire called the runner out, no amdunt of replays is ever going to wake him safe. So, why arewe forced to watch it again at-id again? Now that I have a T.V., my homework will suffer and I will.spend long hours inside watching sports on my new toy. After two weeks of listening to cliches, seeing the replays and hearing the babble that my “idiot box” will spew out, I will become bored of i my T.V. and wish for the “good old days” of radio. Boy, I sure feel old sometimes.

by Mike Upmalis Imprint Sports If somebody were to tell you that Waterloo’s fbotball team is getting better, you would start looking for the whitecoat with the four foot sleeves that meet in the back. WaterlooI, in a 34-O loss to the Cuelph Gryphons a week ago Thursday, showed some of the stronger indications of‘team play with the most damning indictment: no aerial offense. Waterloo’s lack of an air attack, and many of its problems with offense can be shown to come from injuries. Waterloo’s starting QB, Drew Zehr, has a problem with floating ribs, a problem that will keep him out of uniform for the rest of the season. Mr. Zehr was to be the linchpin of the “sprint offense” that featured passing. With Mr. Zehr out, Tony lantorno has made an abrupt transition from a Metro High School All-Star quarterback to rookie university QB. His first starting assignment came against the overwhelming McMaster Marauders but against the less intimidating Gryphons, Mr. Iantorno was not able to notch into his role as QB.
Mr. lantorno was dropping back into the pocket but never setting to deliver the ball properly, be would scramble out often and try to pass the ball on the run, not form that he has displayed on the practice field. Coach McMillop pulled Mr. Iantorno towards the end of the first half, a half with no pass completions. and let Rob Kent have a try. Mr. Kentf’ared little better in his time at the end of‘the second yuarter and part of the third going 0 for 4 with two interceptions. Both Messrs. Kent and Iantorno showed that they could run the ball, usuall~~ of’f‘a pass play that never opened UP* Mr. lantorno came back on in the third quarter and managed to make three completions for a total passing of‘fense of 10 yards. lantorno was 3 for 12. Waterloo lost Dave Stoddard with a probable broken leg. With injuries and a rookie QB, Waterloo has a tough game against the Varsity Blues on-Saturday at Seagram’s Stadium at 1:OO p.m.. but if‘ Waterloo can establish the aerial attack and Mr. lantorno showed marked improvement in the fourth quarter against Guelph, then there is hope.

Last Saturday afternoon, October 6th, marked the first exhibition game played by the Varsity Hockey Warriors. They hosted the University du Quebec a Trois Rivieres. Our Warriors fought hard but unfortunately suffered a 8-6 loss to the hands of “Les Patriotes”. Waterloo was by no means outclassed by the Quebec team. Veteran Rick Hart scored Waterloo’s first goal at 13:23 of’the 1st period making Quebec’s lead shrink to 4-l after the first period. Assists went to forward Blair McArthur and defenseman Jack McSorley. Dave Fennel set up rookie forward Todd Coulter at 16:30 in the second to edge the score to 6-2. Despite Waterloo’s lone goal in the second. they kept up their composure and came out storming into the 3rd period looking like a refreshed and amazing hockey club. The Warriors scoring

Coultel was set up by Steve Cracker and rookie defense ace Al MacKenr.ie. The netted goal narrowed the margin to 6-4. Later in the third period, veteran forward Blair McArthur was set up by second year man Dave Fennel1 and rookie defenseman Jeff BraLeau to score at 14:51 to again narrow the margin to 7-5. However, Quebec again attacked and connected only three minutes later at 17143 by center Martin Leblanc to stretch “Les Patriotes” lead to 8 to 5.

Fleet feet go festing by Rob Hardy While many party-goers were still in bed recovering from the first weekend of Oktoberfest, Mark lnman was out early Sunday morning, October 7th, fending off the dogged challenge of Lloyd Schmidt in the late stages of the Oktoberfest 1Ok race. Inman, the captain of the Warrior Cross-Country team, tucked himself into the lead pack during the opening kilometers, but after passing 5k in a quick 15: 12 Mark began applying a little pressure to the pack by quickening the tempo of the uphill portions of the last 5k. His only pursuer over the final kilometers was Schmidt, a Wilfrid Laurier graduate, who refused to share the lead, but always remained off of one of positioned Mark’s shoulders. With less than a half kilometer remaining, lnman played his “trump card” by using his superior sprinting speed to outdistance a Frustrated Schmidt. In winning the second annual event, Mark posted a time of 30:45, which was less than 30 seconds off the course record <et by Alain Boucher in 1983. On the women’s side, the race was a homecoming for Lisa Campfens, who finished second in this run down King Street in a time of 38:25. Lisa, sn Athena runner in her first three years of university, is attending now medical school at Queen’s University. Another top performance ;ame from one of the Athena Cross-Country coaches, Rhonda Bell, whose quick opening mile led her on to a personal best time of 39: 15, a top five ranking.
