Integrated Studies' members lose power to co-ordinator by Hilkka McCallum Imprint staff UW's administration has disrupted the lntegrated Studies (IS) program by removing most of the power of the Operations Council (OC). The vice-president academic, Dr. T.A. Brzustowski, has allocated this power instead to the coordinator of IS, Gloria Smith, as an interim measure pend~ng assessment of the program by the Senate. On October 9, a memo was sent from the offtce of the vicepresident academic that indicated the conttnued existence of lntegrated Studies was under review. The memo states that the Admission and the Year End Review Committees are to submit a set of criteria and procedures to the Untversity Senate to justify the continued existence of the program.
A majority of students are opposed to Dr. Brzustowski's The memo also states that the program co-ord~natorIS no longer smply an administrator, for she now has "the sole memo becadse they think it is an extreme vtolation of the authority to h a k e all commttments agalnst budget dec~s~ons Operatton Counctl's mandate. The Operations Council consists about the use of all factltties, securtty and access." The co- of all students, staff and faculty members in IS. Before the memo allocated control to the co-ordinator, the ordinator no longer has to seek the adv~ceof the Operattons Counc~l.

This board determines the reciptents of adm~ntstrativeftles. the Bachelor of lntegrated Studies degree. IS IS supposed to be a program tn which students can use all The program was created in 1969 on the theory that students Untversity resources rn a self-d~rectedprogram w ~ t han option to complete a degree. Students In IS are encouraged to could best judge what kind of educatton they wanted without partictpate tn the governlngand decwon-maktng processes of being restricted by course outlines. John Carnegie, an IS alumnus with a BIS degree, sums up the concerns of the the entire program. students: "The vice-president academ~ccannot hope to solve any problems by making t h ~ srash change." He contends that the memo questtons whether counctl ts actually the financial decisiotr-making body. Mr. Carnegie warned that outs~demfluences such as the shift of power to the co-ordinator's affice would throw the whole program askew. He s a ~ dall problems tn the IS structureat the moment arose from the undermin~ngof council authority. Accordmg to h m , the students feel that the allocation of space and solution of finance problem! have been mishandled by Gloria Smith. Even before the memo-was issued, Gloita Smith, the eemdinator for almost a year, brought tbe outstandingphone bill to the attention of council. The phone btlls date back as far as August 16, with some students owmgas much 3s $150. There is an outstanding bill from a single student of almost $300. According to John Carnegie, at the counctl meetmgs there was not great pressure put on the people to pay, even though some of them were pn their last term.

Fed Hall: A retrospective
by *Dave Sider Imprint staff Party days are just around the corier with the opening of Fed Hall scheduled for this month. The original planning for- the new pub began in 198 1 with Fed president Wim Sirno@. This retrospective article on Fed Hall is designed to give students a comprehensive overview of the whole project. To build or not to build was the question in the summer and fall referendums of 1983. The proponents of Fed Hall argued that the Bombshelter was criticized for its small size and “subterranean gloom”. They also stressed that the present pub .was unable to feature live entertainment. Lack of background research was a major concern of the opponents of the project. They argued that non-pub goers should not have to pay for pub facilities. The su’mmer ‘83 referendum showed that students were prepared to support the building of a n&w student pub on campus. With a turnout of 46a/o, 82.5a/o of those studen@ voted in favour of building Fed Hall. In the fall’83 referendum 28% of eligible voters turned out at the polls and 78.3(@ supported construction. A central question that has arisen recently is whether the loan of $1.55 million provided by the University for the building was budgeted to cover the entire cost of the project or merely the construction costs. Tom Allison, Fed President, wrote in an Imprint “Forum” piece on November I 1, 1983, that “the budget is 1.4 million dollars plus a $150,000.00 allowance for equipment, for a total of 1.55 million dollars”. However, in an October 22, 1984, Imprint article, Mr. Allison declared that the budget for the building was $1.97 million and that the figure of 1.55 million was targeted only for the building contract price. After initial assurances from Mr. Allison that cost overruns were un-likely, extra costs soon began to be mentioned. An extra bill of $250,000 for soil modification .was announced on October 23, 1983. Design revisions, which according to the Feds, saved $400,000, were revealed in January”84. The building contract was awarded for $1,490,967.00, which effectively left $60,000 of the original University loan of $1.55 million available to the Feds for other uses. Imprint revealed on October 26, 1984, that the $eds were receiving an extended line of credit from the Canadian Imperial Bank -of Commerce, borrowi?g $110,000 to help pay for the costs af furnishing the new pub. Originally budgeting $250,000 (Imprint Sept. 23/83) for the furnishing of Fed Hall, Mr. Allison told Imprint last week that the $350,000 the Federation had in their savings account would not be enough to cover the cost of furnishing the pub. Mr. Allison still maintains that the project is not over budget. Another key area of concern has been the extensive revisions to the building. lnitially the deletion of the mezzanine was announced due to increased costs due to soil modification, but it has sipce been reinstated. After realizing that the building would have to undergo some design modification to lower construction costs, the architects made 61 revisions to the original design. Basement office space was deleted from the plans. Kitchen size was cut in half, which will effectively limit the tjlpe of food

As well, the tunnel which was originally designed to link up with the University’s main tunnel system was discarded. Other ,minor changes included the removal of a colonade meant to shelter students waiting to entet the Hall, the elimination of a small orchard beside the Hall, and changes in bar design. The deletion of the basement means higher heating costs and a continuation of the chronic shortage of office space in the
CampusCentre.

Cdntrary to original plans, it is unlikely that the University will construct a parking lot for the new building. Rumours concerning construction problems have reached Imprint but there appears to be little validity to them. A spokesperson from UW plant operations design clarified the situation .by stating that “there have been no more problems with the construction of Fed Hall than with any other building on. campus”. He admitted that there had been some minor problems with
the beer lines and electrical details, but emphasized that “these kind of minor problems are always encountered on construction projects and are not extraordinary”. It was ruirlvuied that the IIall was experiencing problems getting a liquor license, but Bill Deeks, head.of Food Services, said that the application was being processed and that no problems were expected. - Late delivery of construction materials has been the major constr_uction problem. For example, delivery of the windows for the building was delayed. The supplier blamed the -and the contractor blamed the supplier. contractor When the referendum was held in the fall of 1983, the Feds had suggested an opening date of July ‘334. The next opening date suggested was October ‘84. Most recently, the Federation has set.November 14 as the opening date. Construction sources indicate that it is perhaps optimistic to. expect the pub to be open before the end of November. “It’s a damn fine building and the Feds should be proud of it” was the opinion of a spokesperson for plant operations design.
In the light of thegospel .. by Richard E. Preston Imprint staff Reverend Remi De Roo, a controversial Canadian Bishop, delivered a short public lecture on the topic “Does the Church have a role to play in Canadian life?” at St. Jerpme’s College last Friday night October 26. Speaking eloquently before a packed house, the Bishop often quoted the Pope’s North American speeches as he. outlined a “new vision” which he said is shaping the modern Canadian church. Rev. De Roo stressed the
importance of a strong gospel. coalition between the major This methodology consists Canadian churches in “the of five parts that work struggle for justice and together in society: 1) Participeace”, pation and ‘experience, 2) and also the revamping of the Church’s Social analysis and dynamics, hierarchical image to its 3) Moral judgement, 4) “true” form as an equal group Creation of moral alternaof followers of Christ. tives, 5) Strategy of action to bring people into the The main point of the program. .

your local police
When your brother or sister goes out to work in the morning, do you ever worry that-you will never see them again? If he/she is an Ontario police officer, then your worries are justified. Many of us have been frightened lately with the six police killings in this country (five in Ontario alone). It certainly hits those of us who have family in police forces even harder. While experts and laypersons alike are examining criminal justice system rather Canada’s (or “injustice” system) they should also take the time to study justice for our police officers. When was the last time you said thank you to a police officer? How would you like to drive down the street, with your obvious stigma, and hear n’ames and insults hurled your way? Have you ever picked a dead child up off the road after a drunk driver has hit him? Have you been punched in the face lately at a riot? Have you cleaned up vomit in the back of a cruiser for the second time in a night? People today must know that police officers are verpspecial human beings. Perhaps they should not be put on a pedestal, but they certainly should receive the respect that they deserve. Not only are the police on the “front lines” facing
Th,e breaking mourns the death of India, but one
daily criminal warfare, but they must also deal with the opposition of forces within the system. That is to say, the police aie frustrated with the fact that they do their part of the job only to have a convict, who has committed a serious offense, perform community service or be released from prison after having only served one-sixth of his/her sentence. Where is the justice indeed? Being a police officer is not simply a career, it is a lifestyle. These people are often isolated by other members of society because they are police officers. They go to a party with “others” only to be asked, “hey, have you ever shot anyone before?” So, they end up socializing with other officers with whom they feel comfortable. the “us This “espirit des corps ” does consolidate against them ” attitude, but I blame their isolation on who will not take the time to us, the “civilians” understand or support our police officers. Without our respect and support, police officers might as well feel that they are fighting a losing battle, alone. 1984 is National Crime *November 4 IO, Prevention Week. C~zrol b’l<~tc-lter

of Indira Ghandi, must also mourn
for prime her
assassins. These men were not ,“Cunatics”. They were, ‘how.ever, men of stone: that is to say, men whose compassion for another human being was drained’by the overwhelming need to exact vengence for what they likely saw as an affront to their faith - Mrs. Ghandi’s government’s seige last June of the Golden Temple, the Sikhs’s holiest shrine, in Amritsar. Mrs. Ghandi was also made of stone. She iailed her
political opponents and suspended demodratic liberties when she thought it necessary. Moreover, she seemed to have little understanding or compassion for the Sikh minority i-n her nation. Perhaps her stoniness only wrought a hardening of hearts; so>that as she hardened towards the Sikhs, some hardened towards her, until two or three sought to break her with violence;(.ju~~ as she had sought to break them with violende). But afl this achieved was death: not peace, not compassion, not dialogue, only mere annihilation. One mourns Mrs. Ghandi’s assassination. One mourns her use of violence. One mourns even more the violence that has followed her death. There is a time to cast away stones, and it is now. George Elliott Clnrkc!

UW’s new pop up buildings To the editor: Personal Conclusions on Building Parking I am sure that you reader have noticed the buildings that have started to cover what used to green grass of our Waterloo campus, and I would to you an experience I recently had. While strolling through the &ea in Engineering
by El, E2, E3, and CPH, (trying not to bump into the four hundred bicycles that are chained to any non-mobile structure in the vicinity of Engineering 1) 1 was treated to a view not{ usually viewed. This treat was the parking of a building. Listen. I In my life, 1 have had the pleasure of parking near a building, on ! a building, and once, almost in a building, but I have never. parked a building. 1 know what you must be thinking right.. now... “Ian, you just haven’t lived”. Nonetheless, this act 1 witnessed was only initially intriguing since the parkingjob was accomplished with the greatest of ease and grace by the, no doubt, professional at the wheel of the truck that was oh so big. At this time I was able to reflect the entire situation and draw those professional conclusions that all engineers are supposed to draw. There are only two. First, the buildings are serving that useful purpose of reducing the time wasted by groundskeepers who have to cut the grass in the Engineeiing area (and all other areas for that matter). This return on investment quality is no doubt one of the main selling points that some sweet talking salesman must have originally used in convincing the University of Waterloo decision-makers to purchase such an abundance of these mobile dwellings and places to learn. Thank your maker right now that this salesman was refused by Waterloo division of the Canada Concrete and Paving Company when he originally dove head first into the work force, but I wish to no longer discuss this individual for he is hampering the conciseness of this letter. Secondly, 1 was forced to question the reason for parking these technological and architectural marvels and somehow 1 came up with this conclusion: they are going to bus (or truck) in students and faculty from the four corners of Southern Ontario and allow the learning process to happedl right her& on our campus. Yes, they are going to bring in the students on large flat-bed trucks and dump them at the door of these cubicles. Shortly thereafter, the professors of these students who are now wide-eyed at the anticipation of learning something totally new and different, will be brought in by smaller but more fuel efficient vans to begin the lessons for that day. At the end of the day, the students will again board their trucks, the professors will hop lightly into their vans, and all will go back to the homestead. The only reminder that this actually happened wquld be the ominous, yet intriguing beige and brown two-tone structures that seem to be just floating there at an approximate altitude of two and one half feet above ground level. I would now like to conclude this view by saying that you to;o may find yourself drawing conclusions such as these as you pass any anomalies -on campus. If so, feel free to tell any passer-by how you feel and offer to buy them a drink. If not, please just carrypn with your day as if the thought that you just didn’t have never happened. This will cut down on depression. Thank you for listening to my conclsions. May I buy you a drink. Ian J. Nadas

Everybody
To Glenn Svarich by Zeke Gerrard (a pseudonym) I was glad to see the letter from Glenn Svarich (Imprint, October 19, 1984) in response to the first few weeks of this column; he raises some interesting points, which I will begin to answer today. First of all, Glenn refers to me as “he/she/it(?)“. 1 thought 1 had made it clear that 1 am. a mtilc human being; 1am not a woman, neither am 1the Creature from the Black Lagoon. One should therefore refer to me by the pronoun “he”; to do otherwise might seem a gratuitous insult, not in keeping with a spirit of constructive criticism. Second, he asks, “Why is it that Zeke Gerrard finds it necessary to portray the straight life as a form of deviant tiehaviour?” Perhaps he will clarify exactly what it is 1said; 1 myself have no idea how he came to this bizarre conclusion--l certainly did not intend to imply anything of the sort. Glenn writes, “1 am wondering if Zeke could alter his/her/its(?) stereotypical concept of straights”. Now maybe since I am not heterosexual, I can’t speak with quite the same authority about straight people, but considering that wherever I go I am surrounded by the most blatint heterosexuality, and that several of my most intimate friends are quite openly straight, I doubt whether my concept of straight people is so stereowed. Glenn relates “the fact that in a world population of 4 billion, 2 billion are male and 2 billion are female”, but he does not pursue the argument further. I suppose his point is that men and women exist in approximately equal numbers which might suggest a pairing-off based on the obvious physical complements. One of coure wonders .what all the extra women will do, since the population balance is not exact. Moreover, this simple scheme ignores the crucial feminist distinction between sex (biological features) and gender (social roles). Perhaps the most instructive passage from Glenn’s letter is the following: “I am, like the majority of the population, straight as an arrow. And 1am quite content to be this way. It is a choice of lifestyle that 1find 1am very comfortable with.” There is a striking similarity between that and what we gay people say about ot11- lifestyle; almost invariably, people aie happy with their sexual orientation, whether it is straight or gay or somewhere in between; 1 think the basic reason why he defends his way of life is that he knows deep down in his heart that it is what is right Car him, and that he could not be happy if he were forced to live another way.

by Shayla Gunter Now is the time for the real truth on Village immorality, morality, or whatever it is you choose to believe. I live in Vl and in rebuttal to Nosh R. Dinshaw, I must say1 don’t see the behaviour he described constantly. Now maybe I don’t live in the most wild house in VI, but we do have our fun. Yah, people get bombed at parties, but there are always some level-headed people at those parties who know when to quit and who make sure that those who are smashed arrive home safely and during the course of that same night. And yah, people go to parties, meet people they are attracted to, and if they are lucky, begin a friendship or a relationship. But it is their choice whether they go to bed with someone or not. 1 won’t deny the fact that there are some people who will.have sex very early in a relationship, such as on a first date, but they are their own person and it is their body and their choice. Who are we to judge other people? No one, I repeat, no one is under any pressure to do anything they don’t want to do. In fact, I’ve found that the peer pressure here is actually less than in high school. Students in residence. supposedly are in control of their own lives. They can do as they please. No one has to.force them to do anything. But of course, as in any university, the drinking, sex, and drugs are available if so desired. It’s up to them to decide if they want to fail or pass university. Now since I don’t live in V2, I can’t speak for what goes on there. I’ve heard that some of their parties can get pretty wild. But what I’ve said about VI probably holds true for V2 also. So all 1 can say about Mr. Dinshaw is “I feel sorry for you if you lived in the Villages. You either were overly sensitive and critical to the tiniest bit of misbehaviour 0~ you had the wrong group of friends. Obviously you were deeply scarred.” As for those students who think they’re missing something from life after reading Mr. Dinshaw’s story and being greatly misled; you’re not. You don’t have to become involved in anything you don’t want to, be it desirably or undesirable. You’ve got the last word in your life.

The preppie menace rises by Mike Upmalis The University of Waterloo has slept too long, and as Gulliver slept while the Lilliputians crept, Waterloo has allowed itself to become tied up in the foes of freedom and goodness and light. ,In the past years, Waterloo has ignored a menace not just from the east and the west but even in our own town, our own n@ghbourhood. The preppie menace has surfaced to become one of the major issues facing the residents of this fair university. The attitude of “never at this university, never in this town” has lulled the iensibilit-ies of the students, blinding them to the menace that is before them. Fact: The University of Western Ontario has iri a series of stunning, frightening moves elected, not just a preppie president, but also a majority of preppie councillors in their so called Student Administrative Council. Fact: U WO has, through a well-orchestrated program of brainwashing conducted through fraternities, sororities, and residence food druggings, managed to convert hordes of unsuspecting right-thinking students to the beckoning ideology of prepidom. Indoctrinated by the canons of the Preppie Manifesto, these preppers believe that their ultimate destiny is to get everybody in the world to relax, and get in a little tennis every day. Fact: While Toronto has been one of the oldest centres of preppieism in Waterloo’s sphere of influence it was never considered a serious threat. The blinders on our eyes have hid us from the fact that U of T has been secretly stockpiling clothing in pastel shades, sunglasses on bits of string, and cut off shorts. At current inventories, Toronto by itself could outfit every man, woman and child in Waterloo seven times over in these Chairman Mellow uniforms. Fact: Wilfrid Laurier, long considered a bastion of all that is good and boring in Western Society, has, through an intensive fifth column movement, been destabilized. That this has happened is obvious, examine Laurier’s buddy program, or simply drop into their Turret, if you dare. While there could be some allowance for preppiedom iti the world, would you want your roommate bringing home a preppie‘? The question is who is there to blame? Waterloo’s “Neville Chamberlain”, the yuppie fed prez, Tom Allison. Allison has assured us that a strong yuppie program is all the defence that is needed. His MAD defence program (More Annual Dividends) assumed that with enough income we would be safe from the call of prepies.This head-in-the-sand defence that relies on some new wave sense of morality may indeed do, but only for some. For the young who have yet to fully experience the lifestyle that is Waterloo’s might easily - submit to the siren cry of the preppies, the careless joy of a sunglass swapping party, the. free and easy life of shopping at Fairweather or Big Steel Man. All these, the first easy step in a walk down the road to preppiedom. What must Waterloo do? We must rely on the technical advantage to take the flight to show the preppies that we can deal with them on their own terms. We obviously can never live with the preppies, and they can never live with us, but a world without the Waterloo lifestyle is obviously a world that doesn’t deserve to exist. For further references, see Reagan, Ronald. The evil empire, or fun with a microphone.

Far-Off Ferraro For instance, part of her campaign funds came from the buying and selling of a piece of real estate through her husbands company, thus he contributed more than the established quota for her funds. Polls show that Bush is preferred two to one as a standby President over Ferraro because he is safe and dependable. He also has years of experience. How can a congresswoman from New York compete with an ex-chairman of the Republican National Committee, a former director of the ClA and the first U.S. envoy to’ China? Ferraro tries to use her personal charm and her lilting voice to captivate audiences. Bush relies on his political skills and his well-defined views to communicate to the people. Ferraro’s gender-advantage doesn’t seem to be working. I had hoped that a woman in her position, at the forefront of politics and a possible female-role model for women to come, would refrain from using the sweet-talking, Barbie-Polit.ician style that she has so far displayed. Obviously, this isn’t working with the American people. The polls still show Reagan at least nine points ahead in the election campaign. Because their “equal opportunity” strategy doesn’t go over as well as hoped, they have to resort to “desperation campaigning” (Glchc and ,IlUl, Oct. 12). Reagan’s age suddenly seems so important because Gerry hasn’t managed to capture the female audience’s votes. According to the Globe and blail, Ott 12th, polls show that 48 percent of US women surveyed preferred Reagan to Mondale. Even after Bush’s off-camera comment on how in the debate he “kicked a !ittle ass” people still find him more politically astute. Mr. Mondale, was Gerry worth it?
What sort of world would it be? To the editor: My immediate response after reading Mr. Eisler’s letter to the editor last week was sadness and anger. Mr. Eisler would like to know how any of us “can stand the
existence of GLL’OW and Zeke Gerrard.” 1 can stand it Mr. Eisler. It is my firm opinion that intolerence of this sort (and of this extreme) is what is really wrong with the world. If we let
have your way Mr. Eisler what would we have? What sort of world would it be? How long would it be before they knocked on your door because you were suddenly the one who didn’t fit in‘? How YOU
long would it be before we were all the same? Sounds a bit like facism to me Mr. Eisler. Does freedom exist’! Apparently not. Bruce Beaton

To the editor: Last week (Imprint, October 19, 19843, with great pleasure 1 noted a retraction issued by ‘Sammy Singlet’. He had earlier showed his ignorance by predicting a\last place finish by the Geoknobs. At weeks end this fine and morally upstanding team was 3 and 1 indicating (at least to Sammy me> that knows nothing about basketball and even less about predictions. I invite him to come to my mesh reading class where I will teach him the art of prediction (special price for Sammy).
One further word on Sammy’s Predictions. He predicted a close win by On Pro over the niners last Sunday, yet only 1 player for On-pro showed up to compete in this grand contest. Mike Janiac is to be commended for his heart and courage. Perhaps the other players were too convinced by Sammy’s predictions. Perhaps the team figured 1 player was enough to beat the niners...I honestly don’t know the reason! Who knows? The absent Sammy might!,! Bruce Briard

To the editor: 1 would like to clear up a common misconception concerning KitchenerWaterloo’s annual beer-andpolka party known as Oktoberfest. As pointed out in a volumn last week, besides consumption of vast quantities of beer, the main feature is the transformation of all our favorite ( and notso-favorite) popular hits into a German oom-pah-pah style, resulting in a crowd of revellers wildly spinning about the dance floor, bumping into each other and regularly stepping ( or stomping) upon one another’s feet.

Oktoberfest just another Bent event
Stand Up... Be A Woman! by Hilkka McCaUum “Lemme tell ya. My daughter Laura was 18 in June. She comes home and asks: ‘What do 1get for my birthday? 1tell her, ‘a voter-registration form.’ She says: ‘What else do 1 get, or 1 register Republican? So she got a Walkman and she registered Democrat.” Okay, Geraldine Ferraro likes to joke. She likes to use “fast one-liners, given-and-take with her audience and a few familiar catch-phrases” (Globe and illail, October) But are these bona fide qualifications for the Democratic vice-presidential candidate? I think not. 1 admire women who run for top-notch positions in politics and business, but I am not in favour of their using the homespun, no-nonsense-mom approach. How can one take her seriously when she uses feminine wiles. In the Bush-Ferraro debate, Bush said “let me tell you a little about foreign policy” because Ferraro was wandering through various fields, being unclear, and accusative. Even though Bush was somewhat presumptuous, his remark was not half as asinine as her retort: “Mr. Bush, I don’t need a lesson in Foreign affairs.” Okay, Gerry, then come down to earth. The petty don’t-you-pretend-you’re-big-man-on-campus-with-me attitude was totally unexpected and disappointing. 1 had hoped she would refrain from a catty feminine approach to politics. “Isn’t she just what the Democrats wanted--p charismatic, exciting woman to offset the indecisive dullness of Walter Mondale?’ (Globe and bIai1). Although she has the luck of being chased for the first female vice-presidential candidate, she has too many vices to overcome. Numerous press reports have shown that her financial concerns are not quite above the table.

Read& refutes Kafieh To the editor: I would like to refute almost everything James Kafieh said in Soapbox in the October 26 issue of Imprint, point for point: 1) First of all, Israel was NOT the agressor in 1948. It was the Palestine Arab Higher Comittee, in the 1947 UN debate, that promised war, while the Jewish agency appealed again and the Arab comittee’s again for peace. Jamal Husseini, spokesman, told the UN0 on november 24, 1947: “The partition line proposed shall be nothing but a line of fire and blood”. Five days later, while the resolution was being passed, the arabs began to mine roads, isolate settlements and ambush jewish convoys. Scores of jews were killed including 77 jewish doctors, nurses, and scientists on their way to Mount Scopus Hospital and fifty men, women, and children in a Jerusalem apartment building. This list goes on and on. 2) The UN blamed the ARABS for the war. To quote Jamal Husseini: “The representatives of the Jewish agency told us yesterday that the Arabs had began the fighting. We do not deny this. We told the whole world that we would fight”. On may 15th Azzam Pasha, secretery general of the Arab league said in Cairo: “This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre that will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and crusaders”. 3) In 1948, there were some Jews in portions of the intended to be Arab State as there were Arabs in the Jewish portions. This was how the partition was set up, and neither was asked to move. 4) The arab countries did ask Palestinian arabs to leave their homes. On April 3, 1948, the Near East Broadcasting system said: “It must not be forgotten that the Arab Higher Commitee encouraged the refugee’s flight from their homes”. 1 can also quote the Archibishop of Galilee, Emile Ghoury, secretery of the Arab Committee and Salim Joubran, and Arab citizen who said: “The Arab High Command asked us to leave the country for two weeks to make the battle easier for them. They told us ‘A cannon cannot differentiate between a Jew and an Arab. Leave the country for two weeks and you will come back victorious’.” The Jordanian Addifaa on September 6, 1954 put it bluntly: “The Arab Government told us: “Get out so that we can get in’. So we got out but they did not get in. 5) 750,000 is the number of Palestinian arabs before 1948, but 160,000 remained, so only 590,000 could be considered as the number of refugees.
To the editor: 1 see that Zeke Gerrard’s column is generating a lot of responses. One of the most interesting (from a purely clinical point of view) was Craig Eisler’s letter last issue. Mr/ Mrs/ Ms Eisler asked “the people at large” how any of us could stand a column about homosexuality. Being a person and at large, I thought I’d respond. The real question is not why some of us can stand Mr. Gerrard’s column, but why Mr/ Mrs/ Ms Eisler can’t. Perhaps it’s a medical problem. In his,! her own words, “The very thought of such acts fills me with such horror and disgust that I become physically ill”. This is an unusual medical condition! Unfortunately, we aren’t given enough information to perform a proper diagnosis. We need to know exactly what disease Eisler gets when he/she thinks of gay sex.
6) The Palestinian arab population was NOT terrorized into leaving their homes. This is an arab propoganda myth. There would not have been a single refugee had the Arab governments accepted the 1947 UN resolution. Had they, today there would be an arab state in Palestine. The arab governments stimulated the arab departure with frightful radio broacasts because they wished to arouse the arab world into a holy war. Many left their homes to prove their loyalty to the arab governments. Large voluntary evacuations occured will before Deir Yassin. Many even took the time to sell their livestock to jewish neighbours. 7) Dier Yassin. It was a village of military importance. It was one of the cities that helped blockade Jerusalem. It housed Iraqi troops and Palestinian irregulars. During the attack a corridor was left open for the civilians to escape. 200 of them left, many of them did not. When the arabs feigned surrender and then fired on jewish troops, the jewish troops fired back and the resulting shooting left 254 civilians dead. It was NOT a premedidated acts and it was immediately denounced by the jewish leaders, and not praised (as are premedidated PLO attacks on jewish civilians, (for example Rome) by the Arab leaders). The reasons arab propoganda talks about Deir Yassin is because it is an exception to the rule. It is an unfortunate event resulting from a time of war. 8) Regarding Ramle and Lod, the war on in full strenght and the israelis were seeking to protect their flank from attacks throught these villages. The civilians were asked to move to a safer place as they would soon be in the central battle field. The number of people moved was not 100,000 but less than 59,000 and some arab reorts have it at less. 9) The lsraelies continually asked the arab population to remain in peace as they had before 1947. They promised them citizenship and equality. Salim Joubram: “I heard the Hagannah microphone asking the arabs to remain and live peacefully with their jewish bretheren. The late jewish mayor of Haifa asked us to go back to our homes”. 10) Golde Meir’s statement refers to a technical debate that still takes place in intellectual circles. Palestine has never been a political unit. It was a British geographical term. An arab living there before 1948 called himself a Moslem, Arab, or Ottoman. The UN partition gate the arabs and “Arab state”. No one thought of calling it a Palestinian state since the term was fairly new and did not apply. This argument is purely technical since the “Palestinian arabs” are today a defined group. Meir Rotenberg
Tuberculosis? Leprosy? statement that an all-gay AIDS? (Imagine if you could world would die out in a get AIDS just by thirzking . generation seems a little sill) about two gays making out. when you remember that I’ve seen La Cage ALU Folles artificial insemination has five times, so I must be living existed since before any of us were born. Likewise, his on borrowed time...) At any rate, since there is no known statement that an end to all cure for Eisler’s condition, human life woul-d be he/she, should learn to live preferable to an all-gay world (death before deviwith it. If reading Mr. Gerrard’s column was likely ance!) seems a little extreme. to put me on the critical list, He/she also has problems I’d have the brains to stop with the dolphin analogy. reading at the first sign of a Now, 1 can’t claim to be an fever. expert on either subject, but it Eisler also has a problem in seem to me that having sex constructing logical arguwith a guy would be a little ments. A common fallacy is to different than having sex with accuse your opponent of a dolphin. (If not, Eisler could taking an extreme position make big bucks teaching and them demolish this straight women and gay men position (or “straw man”) how to scuba di\e...) I also while ignoring your oppthink Eisler milsjudges onent’s real case. Eisler not “community standards” in only erects a straw ?nan (a suggesting that he/ she would world in which eL’t’r)‘one is be “committed” for having gay; something Mr. Gerrard sex with a dolphin. There have been enough relationnever proposed) but then utterly fails to demolish it. His ships between Engineers and
sheep that few eyebrows would be raised if the occasional Mathie made it with an aquatic mammal. In the last two paragraphs, Eisler stops using “I” and starts using “we”. Why? Has he/ she in mid-letter developed multiple personalities, or been named editor of a newspaper, or been crowned King/Queen? Or is he/ she speaking on behalf of a large group of people (and possibly “loving, intelligent” dolphins)? From context, it seems that Eisler is trying to speak for me.

U.S. black and white by John Weber American culture has two features which are emphasized continually in its art, literature, ideology and pop culture: the cult of the individual and the necessity of perceiving everything as being black and white. The preponderance of those two ideas (MYTHS) has a number of consequences for every human being in the United States. The cult of the individual is manufactured in Hollywood,Washington D.C.,Las Vegas,Harvard, Yale, M.I.T., and New York City, to name a few. The media is rife with individual success stories which elaborate (and masturbate) on how someone started off with nothing and soared to great heights of “success” (translation: much money). The institutions and cities previously mentioned reinforce and emphasize the message of the media in their own way. People are taught that they can get anything they desire if they deliver the required effort. The culture also manufactures the myth <hat virtually everything in life is black or white. What 1 mean by this is that people are encouraged to believe that people are either good or bad, dumb or smart, . .. This is done through rnok ies, advertisements, political speeches and ideology, and numerous other venues. There are all kinds of words which we have all been taught to have either entirely positive or negativereactions -to, words like “Communist”, “Democracy”, “free enterprise”, “radical”, “protest”, “gay”, “heterosexual”, “feminist”, and “religion”, immediately come to mind, When the cult of the individual and the black and white myths are combined they have devastating results. The lower-class and other victims of the system often blame themselves solely for the rather harsh realities which they must face. Because of the culture, it is difficult for many of them to see that much of the responsibility for their plight rests with corporations, government, laws, and other large entities or products or large entities. In this way, their actions are often limited to acts of frustration and aimlessness, with apathy as the final result. The ef‘f‘ects on the middle-class are quite different. The culture enables the middle class (or much of it) to abdicate its responsibility for the plight of the lower class and other victims. People of the middle class think that lower class people are in dire straights because they are dumb, ignorant, lazy, delinquent, or inept. This lets the middle class deceive itself into believing that the lower class and other victims deserve their fate because it’s of their own making. In addition, the middle class often cannot see that the plight of the lower class and other victims is a produci of large institutions, other large entities and feature inherent in the system which hurt the lower class. Therefore they will not try to change the system in order to help the lower class. In sum, the plight of thelower class and ether victims will continue unabated until more people, especially ones with clout, see through the two myths (there are more than two) and seek to fundamentally change the system and its ideology.
To Craig Eider: Free speec for Zkke To the editor: To Craig Eisler and any other HOC (Homophobits on Campus): in your letter of Oct. 26 you put forth the most narrow minded views 1 have ever read in a student publication. While I will defend your right to do so, you would just as soon lock up any free-speaking gays on campus. Why? You have obviously failed to understand the concept of free speach. Zeke Gerrard’s column serves a unique part of the university community, and if you think he’s alone, you’re kidding yourself. Look around. you’d be surprised. I-LPI- -
If Zeke Gerrard’s views upset you so much, 1 would suggest you stop reading his column. Really, if your “manhood” is so easily threatened that you have to assert your heterosexuality be telling us ’ what your girlfriend looks like, then perhaps yiiur time would be better spent reading books of the, self-help variety. Maybe you feel that you epltomlzc the upstanding straight community. Well, Craig, you don’t speak for me. You speak for the prejudiced and ignorant who would rather hate than try to understand. In a university environment, that is a shame. Mark Urlocker
Kominek’s To the editor: Individuals indeed, Mr. Kominek. For the sake of intellectual integrity, if nothing else, I urge you to reconsider some of the “vague” assertions made in your own letter. Your letter’s tone leads me to believe that you identify with the “Type I people”, the people whom you pridefully assert are the “self-dependents” who “teach themselves and made decisions based on their own mind”. Your ability to use your intellect seems to be a primary value in your life. Now, 1 don’t wish to condemn your desire to use your intellect. Far from it! Rather, 1 wish to suggest that in your reply to Miss Boyes’ letter that you’ve denied yourself full use of that capacity which you value so highly. For example, your statement that “Individuals c&n be separated into two divisions (connected by a continuum)” distorts the meaning of the word “individual.” In its noun form, the word “individual” means “a particular person.“; in its adjective form it means “a characteristic of one single person.” Your definition of both Type I and Type II people respects neither the term “individual” nor the uniqueness df each member of the human race. Certainly, your concluding statement: I was quite pleased that Miss Boyes replied to my letter. She has proved to be a most informative experiment. supports the premise that you respect neither her individuality nor her humanity. The contents of test tubes in scientific la?- oratories are “informative experiments.” No human should be thought of as such. Both your apparent attitude toward Miss Boyes and your statement that “Motivating type 11 people is the concept of love, terribly maligned, and understood in only a vague manner” causes me to question whether your, yourself, have used that intellect which you prize so highly to work out a clear definition of love. A careful reading of the source from which you seem to derive the obscure comments that might help you. People of this character absorb wisdom from preachers’ depend UPon SomeOne (or something) else for guidance, and in addition serve this authority. Human beings of this kind survive.on a borrowed 1. The vagueness of your own choice of diction might leave room for doubt, but your comments lead me to understand that “Type 11” people are Christian and that the “borrowed 1” to whom you refer is Jesus Christ. St. Paul’s epistle to the Romans makes it abundantly clear that when WC accept Christ as our saviour we accept “a free gift” of eternal life. We also

Lip-service To the editor: This is a somewhat belated response to Zeke Gerrard’s October 12th piece about homosexuality and I Christianity. Hils complaint with the legalistic and Pharisaic condemnation of homosexuality, or any other sin, for that matter, strikes a deep note of empathy in my heart. We know how Jesus responded to sinners, on one hand, and Pharisees, on the other. For the self-righteous Pharisees he had a scalding rebuke: “You Viper’s brood”. For the adulteress brought to him for judgement he said “neither do I condemn you. You may go; do not sin again.” (John 8: 11). And in Luke 6:37, Jesus is quoted as saying, “Condemn not and you will not be condemned.” The church will one day face the judgement of he who said, “Let he who is guiltless cast the first stone.” (John 8:7). But Jesus also said: “so long as heaven and earth endure, not a letter, not a
letter vague accept the responsibility of ruling in His kingdom with Him. A gift that is free is “not forced by edict upon us.” The very use of the word “free” tells us that we are being asked to make a consCious decision of our own free choice. We have the freedom to accept or reject the Lord’s gift of eternal life. Of course, if we allow ourselves the necessary humility to accept Christ’s gift, we are called upon to behave with compassion, with humility, and with the obedience to God the Father which Christ himself exhibited when on earth. This doesn’t mean we are called upon to abdicate any of the considerable gifts which He gives us as individuals. On the contrary, we are to strive to use every talent that we have, including our intelligence, and to develop them for the good of God and man. In short, we are to love Him with all our heart, all our mind, all our soul, and all our strength. We are called upon to use our gifts, not suppress them. The humility that allows us to love Him withal1 our hearts, all our minds, and all our strengths, and which allows us to “absorb liberates our minds and intellects wisdom from preachers” rhther than suppresses them. This humility is not a neatly packaged product which Christians take to their church pew and unwrap on Sunday. It is a quality that we carry with us everywhere as we live out our faith and in fewer places is it a greater asset than in the classroom. It allows us to absorb new concepts with an undistorted understanding. Agreement with every concept that we learn is another matter; a matter where, of course, we exercise our freedom of choice. 1 would argue, however, that this obedient, humble and loving attitude allows us far more room for the understanding of new ideas and therefore for intellectual growth that those “people who teach themselves’ rather than attempting to learn and who do not accept teaching from an external source. Finally this! 1 was quite saddened by your sneering contempt for individuals like Miss Boyes, whose right to existence is no less valid than your own. 1 will pray for you; 1 will pray that one day your world will not be an arid lifeless place where people are of no more value than the inanimate objects used in “informative experiments,” for survival in such a barren place will not be easy or as pleasant as you might assume.

If any man therefore sets aside even the least of the Law’s demands, and teaches others to do the same, he will have the lowest place in the kingdom of heaven...1 tell you, unless you show yourselves far better men than the Pharisees..you can never enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5; I S-20.) “The soul that sins shall die”, according to Ezekiel, but the good news ‘is that repentance brings forgiveness and restoration. ‘The Law does not yield goodness; “For the written law condemns to death, but the Spirit gives life.” (2Corinthians 3:6). But the Spirit, which is so tragically lacking in the churches Gerrard mentions, namely the United and Quaker (with which this writer is very familiar) is the source of life to the repentent sinner. It is tragically facile to believe that mere IipTservice faith in Jesus can bring

the Spirit and eternal life. “Faith” writes James, “if it does not lead to action, is in itself a lifeless thing.” (James 2: 17). And in Matthew 7:21, we read “Not everyone who calls me “Lord, Lord” will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do the will of my Heavenly Father. When that day comes, many will say to me, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out devils in your name, name perform many and in your miracles?” Then 1 will tell them to their face, “1 never knew you; out of my sight you and your wicked ways.” This scripture is followed by the parable to two housebuilders, one who built on rock and one who built on sand. The rock is Jesus Christ, and faith in him is dead and lifeless and cannot yield eternal life without obedience, the surrender of our rebellious arrogance, and true repentent humility. Do not be deceived. The wages of sin is death! Doug Thompson

To Kishi, while hitch-hiking by George Elliott Clarke The Atlantic throbs in my veins, Kishi, now, after 1500 miles, when 1 know nothing but the memory of your kiss and the depths that a bottle of dark rum can reach in the midst of the Agawa Canyon, black bear country. 1 stumble this boomerang highway through towns bankrupted and ruined by American tourism, the stick and stone economies of Northern Ontario, the desolate habitations: White River, Wawa, Batchawana B+y. I walk in broken boots these severe miles of mosquitoes and squalls and genuine red-neck racism, still dreaming your name, Kishi, in all its oral magnificance, and your soft, smooth, brown skin, and the coconut smell of your hair, and your persimmon lips, praying that no passing transport truck (bearing the wooden and mineral wealth of this backwater to glittering Toronto) will crush me, while, again, the song of the ocean whooshes in my ears all the beauty of your breasts, which are these stony hills and their stubby pines and their roundness. 1 miss you terribly -- like a Saharan nomad missing water. Tonight, if I break camp in a pick-up truck stopped o? a logging trail out of reach of the OPP under a sky thick and crowded with stars, 1 will take the silver harmonica from my knapsack and cry all the wonder of you through its air-holes, blowing a sweet, crow-like, ragged harmony. Or, if I share a campfire and a cup of bitter, black coffee with a wandering Amerindian, carrying a typewriter, and a former Vietnam vet who is wanted for murder by the FBI and the RCMP, 1’11write you a love pee? by the flickering light before laying me down to sleep, wrapped in my thin, aluminum blanket. 1 swear: when 1 ride into Vancouver, that pagoda’d and mountainous city beside the Buddha-blue Pacific, I’ll go straight to Stanley Park and leap into the water and emerge a Christian, baptized in the spirit of the Lord. And then, and then I’ll catch a midnight flight across the Rockies and the Bible Belt of the prairies straight to your waiting arms in Quebec. I’m wanting to speak that jazz tongue of softness, the wetness of each kiss, broken French, mon amour, and weep in your comforting arms, all the loneliness and all the terror, of this odyssey, Kishi, remembering only the gbod parts: the autumn beauty of the Laurentian forest, the red-iron rock of Thunder Bay, the pulp and paper shibboleths of the North Short of Superior, the blueberries of Spanish and Espanola, the foggy morning runs of the Agawa Railway freight trains.... For now, woman, l write you these thousands of poems with their Christian symbolism, and sleep fitfully in Salvation Army beds or on the earth, travelling by prayer and orange juice and rum, the permanent gorgeousness of this country. Wanting you, Kishi; singing you, Kishi; dreaming you, Kishi; each silver dawn and each ruby sunset. Being M*ith pu. Being rt,ith JWU.
On pistons and sweaters by John L. Tracey Imprint staff It is unfortunate that one Greg Trusuk responded so stereotypically to my essay on the perils of a one-sided education. His response only served to heighten the pessimism 1 have in regards to the existence of transfaculty curiosity. The budding Dcctor of Budweiser has shown himself to be among the millions of shallow, overly-specialized Corporate Units of the Future. The paranoid references in his letter to Engineering and Math-bashing were totally unwarranted. The same lesson could have been equally applied to artsies contentedly nestled in their faculty. The letter’s author seems to ridicule the idea that there exist detrimental consequences in having solely materialistic training. The traditions and foundation of Western civilisation are implicitly ridiculed thereby. If we are to live for the day, as the Man from MechEng apparently would like, we are degenerated to vehicles of ingestion, copulation, urination, and defecation. Our emotions become nuisances, rather than responses to life’s kaleidiscope-like nuances. Our sexual relationships ‘take on the aura o,f pistons and cylinders. Indeed, more than Western ideas are at stake; humanity - life itself -could be threatened by this epidemic of mindless materialism. To the pbtential spouses of these eating-and-sleepingand-voiding machines I give this advice; run as goddamned fast as you can. If‘ you’re moronicall,y masochistic enough to stick around, then my adivce is this: buy light sweaters so as to facilitate comfort and hide your bruises. Lastly, one small point must be clarified. Mr. Trusuk seems to think that the author of the essay in question is some future Kindergarten teacher (pronounced “my marks weren’t high enough to get into Engineering”). He’s wrong. What made the whole essay so damning was that it came from the pen of a future Yuppie.

_ by Patrick Hayes’ Imprint staff. “There will be a change in the 80’s, probably towards socially active, or even ra’dicalized groups, within Canadian Catholicism,” said Professor Michael Higgins, af the St. Jerome% College, Center for Catholic Experience. . : Such “radicalism,” he said, ,is “consistent with a life. of faith,‘? and Qtholic activists engaged in activities, such as anti-nuclear and feminist movements, have “not broken from their faith,” he , said. j “It is consistent with Catholicism to have, an active social involvement,‘even for politicians,” he said. Public’service and private faith cannot. be divided., For example, Professor. . .Higgins said, in decisions-of-conscience, such as the death penalty, faith should not be put aside to make those decisions. “If faith isn’t a part of one’s conscience, it would be philosophically meaningless,” he said. . Professor Higgins, whose academic background’ includes an MA and PhD from York University, and a B.Ed in drama and additional graduate studies from the University of Toronto, was instrumental as, “a b.ackroom guy,” and CBC commentator during therecent visit by Pope JohndPaul -il. “I ,was always at a~ different place”, he said, “and didn’t get a chance to meet him.” Prior to the Pope’s visit, Professor Higgins- admitted on a CBC program that he-had voiced certain “reservations’” about . the reception the Pope would receive in Canada. “1 had to eat humble pie,” he said; andnoted that he was both surprised and pleased with the reception given the Pope during his tour. When asked about a rejuvenation of Catholicism following the visit, *Professor Higgins said the “euphoria w’ll probably ‘. Especially subside,” but there would be a resurgence of interes 1 in the role of Catholics in Canadian history. The’visit, he stated,
,
allowed both Catholics and non-Catholics to look at Canadian 5 history from a different perspective. ‘Most of ‘Trudeau’s administration were Catholics and the fact did not cause a negative reaction,” he said. Brian Mulroney ‘is a Catholic, as is JohnTurner. “The fact that Catholics have been and are at the core of power in Canada has not been a source of alarm,” for non-Catholics. \ Canadians overcame religious bias in politics ‘almost a hundred years ago, according to Professor Higgins. Cat/holics became .an integrated and acceptable political force with Laurier. . 46% of Canadians are Catholic, he said, which makes up a sizeable political voice. Politicians listen to what the Bishops have, to say. . ~ However, with reference to Church and State, Professor Higgins felt that, although Trudeau’s government had- many devout Catholics, they resented the Church’s interference in political issues: “Clericalism is not liked, regardless of its ,politicar shades.” Professor Higgins stressed that the abortion question is “unequivocally” in line with the Church, but Canad’ian Bishops. have tended.to be-among the most liberal on birth ,conti-01. “Catholic Bishops will become more bold, politically,” he said. However, the Bishops do not seek’direct legislative action, but prefer change, ‘more by moral suasion.” They will be more aggressive- in areas of. social justice,-social services, and concern for Central American issues, was the prediction of Professor Higgins. They will tend to view the Conservative government cautiously, especially in the area of . spending and cutbacks. I “Life in the 80’s will be a’ challenge,” he said, ‘“1. am not optimistic .about I the PC government in Canada,” or its overtures towards Washington. “1 find the fundamenral Christian movement in US politics very alarming,” he said.

by David Browmaln Imprint staff A recent inventory conducted by Dana Porter Arts Library officials has indicated that between 15,000 to 45,000 volumes are missing from the stacks. . . The inventory, which utilized portable scanners for the first time in North America, was the first complete survey of holdings since 1977.Off&ls pointed out that some of these books.,might have been misplaced in the library, recatalogued or replaced without proper documentation. Library security has been a prennial problem at UW, alth.ough losses here have been slightiy less than the national campus average, according to- Bruce. McNeil, head of the Arts Library. New systems are being brought. on-line in the near future to combat the theft of _ books, including magnetically locking doors and a more efficient f circulation system. Mr. McNeil stated that the library has looked at the possibility of electronic scanning security systems, such as those in place on other campuses, every year for- the past ten years. While these systems continue to be options, the cost of implementation, and the subsequent increase in vandalism (ripping magnetic plates out of * books, etc.) have ruled them out in, the past. Deena Vujic, from library collections, told Imprint. that a full report will be available: ‘by the end of i . N~ovember.

health care professionals, the 90 minute session featured a Largely underestimated as / videotape produced by a a genuine medical condition, Boston, sister-clinic near the Premenstrual Syndrome Mass.. (PMS) afflicts up to 85% of all women sometime in their Dr. Henderson’s subselives. quent elaboration on the So says Dr. J.C. Hendercomplexities of diagnosis and son, Dire,ctor of the treatment of PMS revealed ‘Premenstrual Syndrome that, only as recently as 1980 Centre in Mississauga, one of has PMS been accepted as a only three such established medical, and ’ not purely centres in North America. Dr. psychological, entity. Henderson was the guest PMS is described in terms speaker at a seminar of a pattern of symptoms that sponsored by the Campus with regularity in recur women just prior to the Centre Board on the evening menstruation phase of their of October 16th. Attended primarily by monthly cycle. Because of the
diversity of symptoms (over 100 identified) and the varying degrees of their manifestation, it is the 15-20% of women most incapacitated by PMS who seek medical attention. For these women, symptoms such as sudden weight gain, irritability, lethargy, and generalized tension become particularly debilitating for one or two days each month. The Mississauga centre is designed to assist this population of women for whom PMS is disruptive to their normal functioning at home, school, or in the
workplace. It is often the male who first notices the symptomatic of PMS in a changes particular loved one. So affected are the woman’s friends or relatives that Dr. Henderson describes a period in his life when he and his children had become adept at “treading on eggs”, during a certain time in his wife’s menstrual cycle. It is perhaps this personal link with the syndrome that allows a man to become so genuine a champion for the* awareness promotion and treatment of PMS.
The exact cause of PMS is not known, although it is believed to be due to abnormal imbalance in the brain. Therefore, diagnosis is difficult and involves extensive laboratory, physical and psychological workupS to preclude related illnesses. Once diagnosed as PMS, treatment varies from woman to woman depending on the severity of her symptoms. Of utmost importance are dietary changes, vitamin (B6) therapy and lifestyle stress management. Rormonal augmentatin therapy is implemented only when
severe symptoms indicate it. Diagnosis and treatment at the PMS Centre, Mississis only partially auga, subsidized by OHIP. A complete medical/ psychological health evaluation by qualified medical practitioners at the centre costs $250. Further information regarding PMS may be obtained at the U of W Birth Control Centre, CC206. In addition to providing applicable books and file material, the Centre handles referrals to the Kitchener chapter of PMS Action, a support group for women suffering from PMS.

The co-ordinator also reduced the hours ofthe program from its previous 24-hour service status to a 14-hour period, with the doors being locked after ten p.m. John Carnegie feels this was a bad move since there are only four, small, study rooms available to 108 students. He says that (-the program is geared around a 24-hour service since many people work in the late-night hours to avoid the crowded atmosphere. Historically, the IS facilities have been available all times of the day.

Some students feel that the memo allots too much power to Mrs. Smith since the Operations Council was directly responsible to the lice-president and Mrs. Smith was supyosedly only to act as the liaison. Scott Arnold, a Resource person, said, in a brief heard at the October 18 Operations Council, that he “chose to be employed by students who controlled the contract and the spacing. not by the co-ordinator’s office.” He sees nothing to indicate that the re-assessment of the program is necessaq’.

Mr. Arnold feels, along with many students, that the program still works. “lf the student control is altered then there must be drabiic changes in the educational structure of the program,” he said. He believes that even though the admissions process is not perfect the’re would be no other way to solve the problem other than matriculation, which would exclude those applicants who never reach secondary school. Mr. Arnold feels that there is no other present solution than to trust the students because they should know what is best for them, and that the students conduct their educational pursuits in a mature fashion. When asked for an interview, Mrs. Smith refused to comment on the present situation. At the council meeting of ,October 1 I, two days after the memo was received, Mrs. Smith announced that she was expecting input of the Budget requirements for the next year from the Operations Council. Although the memo gave Mrs. Smith complete jurisdiction over the budget, she expressed the desire to help the Budget Committee compose its report. Mrs. Smith said that she has”been asked to txsure that the IS
Forde
area is secured as soon as possible” since auditors were working their way through departments and checking every detail. She said that the offices of‘ the co-ordinator and the secretary will be locked after office hours. These were her plans for responding to the issues in the memo. She has had a probiem with non-registered IS students using facilities since she stressed at the meeting that the “1s resources and ‘staff are for the use of registered 1s students only”. In response to the change in power dictated by the memo, Operations Council passed a motion to create a task committee that will have the mandate to monitor the progress ol‘all council and committees in accomplishing the tasks set out by council in response to Dr. Brzustowski’s memo. In an interview with Imprint, Bill Smyth. a forme coordinator of 1s (for twelve years), said that there is a theoretical and practical aspect to the program where the coordinator is responsible to the v.p.-academic and the Operations Council. Mr. Smyth said that while he was co-ordinator, the files were generally open with few lochs, c\en though there were student pranks. The problern of theft and vandalism was not a great one. He said, as well, that, in many cases, the students by-passed him and went directly to the v.p.-academic with their concerns, and that this was part of the 1s student’s perogative. He says the program is very flexible because all decisions can be changed by OC at any time. During the time he was coordinator, he said that the c.p.-academic (Dr. Brzustowski) was generally satisfied with the program and never gave direct control to him over Operations Council, although there were a few cases when the vice-president asked for hurried recommendations from the OC. Mr. Smyth said that the Operations Council was founded in 1972, as a body with direct democracy, so that the program could represent itself. He said since the program often didn’t know its specific needs, capital expenditures were often left to the end of the year. When asked to comment on Dr. Brzustowski’s actions regarding Mrs. Smith, he said that the memo was not “a horrendous occurence”. Mr. Smyth stressed that all the v.p. has requested is that an immediate review bc conducted. He said that the allocation of power to Mrs. Smith was the appropriate course of action. but the most Important step would be the Senate’s decision. In the final note of the memo, Dr. Brzustowski stressed he M/as confident that the measures bpouid “cnsurc the continuation of 1S as a valuable alternative mode of uni\crsity education” c\en though he imposed strong I-C\ i~;onary nieasurcs on the IS program.

Western’s home riot and hurling LONDON (CUP) -- Police wielding-truncheons tear gas at students during a rowdy homecoming party at the University of Western Ontario have arrested more than 20 Dressed in riot gear, police ordered a throngs of 1,500 students .gathered at a private townhouse on Oct. 19, to disperse. The students responded with exploding firecrackers and flying beer bottles, according to police inspector John Robinson. One hour after the initial request and numerous warnings, police fired four tear gas cannisters into the crowd. They immediately rushed at the students to break up the party. “1 felt the only safe way to disperse the crowd without a lot of physical, violence was by using tear gas,” Robinson said. One woman was taken to hospital after being overcome by the gas. Numerous people suffered cuts and bruises, and four officers were hit by flying debris. Robinson added: “If 1 hadn’t used tear gas, injuries would have been much worse.” Police charged 13 people with unlawful assembly, two with. obstruction and numerous others with liquor related offences. Police did not say how many of those arrested are university or college students. The, next night, Oct. 20, students again gathered in large groups, but police broke up about 10 parties without having to use tear gas. Two people were arrested when “they dropped their pants and underwear and jumped up and down” in front of about 350 spectators. Charged with one count each of committing an indecent act were Christopher Caswell, 21, of London, Ontario and Allan Prior, 21, of Brantford. Vandals, believed by police to be students, also stole a-sixfoot statue of Ronald McDonald and a plastic seat from the local fast food outlet. Robinson we’ve ever

complaints about noise from local residents and that VW.0 students were not the only culprits. Many of those attending the parties were from Fanshawe College, nearby-universities and local high schools. UWO council president Craig Smith expressed disapproval of the indicident and said he felt it was unfortunate that two wild nights of parties “tend to overshadow all the other studentrun events which were without incident.” Smith added, however, he thought students were quite well behaved, considering more than 50,000 students and alumni stopped,in London for the homecoming weekend. Unlike Queen’s University student council, which wants five students expelled for actions in Kingston similar to those in London, Smith says his council will not take action against students charged, issue a public apology nor cover the costs of damages. “We can’t control them,” he said..“Students are members of the community and, like everyone else, there are laws to deal with them.” U WO has a discipline code but Smith said it only applied to action of students on campus. The parties where the arrests took place 0ccurre.d , off-campus -in private townhouses occupied by students. Robinson, basing his observations on the Queen’s and U WO incidents, said large, raucous student gatherings, “seem to be the in thing.” _ Only one week earlier, 64 students were arrested during two wild street parties near Queen%. He dismissed the incidents as a fad, which he described as similar to many people stuffing themselves into Volkswagens or telephone booths or swallowing goldfish. ‘*Hopefully it’s a fad that will die...before something really serious occurs,” he said. In Ottawa, several U of 0 students were injured whena truck carrying them to the annual Panda game -- a rivalry between Carleton and U of 0 -- overturned. The driver of the truck was charged with impaired-driving.

by Ka<hy Sahdford and Mike And&on&printed from The Charlatantby Candian University Press Pashta is a thirty-two year old woman with long red hair and an affinity for silverjewelry. She describes herself as a mother, a student and an activist. She is also a witch. During a family trip through New England at the age of four ’ Pashta woke up one night and saw the moon. “I was convinced it followed me to protect me.” She remembers attending a Christian mass as a child, to the disapproval of her mother, an atheist. “At the time,” she recalls, “my relationship with the moon and earth grew stronger and stronger. All these things occured to me when 1 was 24. I realized I was a witch and all these things made sense --,why 1 liked the dark, why I thought better in moonlight, why black was not fearful to me at all.” Modern-day witchcraft is commonly referred to as wicca. Wicca, based on the Old English word Wicce which means ‘wise woman’, is derived from ancient- pre-Christian fertility celebrations where high priestesses were responsible for the success of the harvest and the well-being-of society ‘in general, There are esseritially’three parts of wicca: the politics, the feeling of belonging-and the actual craft,” says Pashta. “1 believe a person cati have the. first two and call herself a witch. She doesn’t have to have psychic abilities.‘1 also strongly- object to calling someone a witch because she has psychic skills. The philosophy is essential.” In her book Witches, Erica Jong explains wiiches Iwere persecuted because men feared, and, still fear, power in women, This was the real reason behind the Salem witch trials in the 1600’s, where 16 women were burned at the stake or hanged. These women were believed to have supernatural powers which were supposed to reside only in the male-dominated church. Witchcraft is an earlier, bloodier version of the battle of the sexes and the fight for equal rights. The same misogynist myths which fuelled the genocide of.women between the 13th to 16th centuries, where an estimated 12 million were slaughtered, and resurfacing %today in the condemnation of feminism and equality. Witches were tortured and burned at the stake for many reasons, all church;sanctioned. They were alleged to have caused everything from impotence to wet dreams, evil spells to miraculous healings. If a landowner wanted a woman’s land, the easiest way to get it was ‘to accuse her of making him impotent or casting a spell on his son. A women accused of being a witch was put’to the test by the church through various means of torture which usually resulted in the woman’s death. One such test was to tie up the accused and throw her into deep water. If she sank and drowned, she wasinnocent. But if she floated it was a sign she was the devil’s own child and she was put to death. Pashta says to equate witchcraft with Satanism is completely false. She says the forces and powers witches have come from a sensitivity to the moon and earth. Satanists are rebellious Christians who choose to worship ‘evil’ rather than ‘good’, and thus intrinsically accept the Christian duality between good and evil. Witches see good and evil as indivisible parts of a cosmic whole and as allies. “1 don’t believe in any one deity or deities,” says Pashta. “The concept is called pantheism -- the idea that all is one, but that there are many facts.” _._‘. J/ Jl.31 i ICI ‘I She says modern witchcraft has never left its’early roots.in pre-Christian paganism. ‘Modern witches place more of an emphasis on natural healing and developing innate psychic powers rather than contemplating ways to turn people into toads or potted petunias. Besides being naturalistic, witchcraft is inherently feminist. Erica Jong says to be a witch is to celebrate female power, sexuality and fertility. Women have an affinity with the reproductive powers of the earth, something men have always feared and tried to put down. Witch-hunting, ancient or modern, serves a variety of

Before the extremely satiable peril Thursday night (October 25), at the Wa opportunity to speak with the two corn Clegg and Zulu tribe member Sipho Mck; Clegg, who writes the song lyrics, talks culture, and Us introduction to it, and * faced under their government’s Apart1 by Carl Davies Imprint staff
6) Ricardo
Scipio
I: A lot of people look at Juluka, and theylookat the political aspects of the band, the fact that three of you are black and three are white. Do you feel people tend to overpoliticize the band? JC: The band was never formed for especially political purposes or as a protest group. I met Sipho, I was 15 or 16, he was plam Zulu street music and I liked the music. We were brought together by the music, we weren’t brought together because of the politics. It was only later, as we grew up and wanted to play our music we hit against the Apartheid problem, and that politicized us. Because the country is what it is, and because of the fact that we are black and white is itself a statement of its own. But what I’d like to say is, if this happened in any other country it wouldbe just a normal meeting of two guys who liked each other as People and who liked each other’s music. I think alSO that, yes, we have addressed ourselves to political issues. We use a lot of imagery which deals with issues which are fundamental to our problems. I think we are going through a phase in our country now which the States went through 30 - 40 years ago. We are not trying to use the political situation as a band wagon to legit,im&e our music to the rest of the world. We want our music to be accepted as good music. I: Did you expect the big success you .had with Scatierlings?
J:C.: NO, we didn’t expect anything like that. Scattedin@ was our fourth album and it just took off in England It got on the top 40 and suddenly the offers and everything took off. I: Are you just going back out on tour now? J.C.: Yes, we are touring Canada in support of the support that we got from radio stations and promoters and agents who were saying “you should come here, we’d like to see you guYS again”. We have other tour offers to do states north ofus in Africa in December, which we are really excited about. We’re playing the Ivory Coast, Cameroon, which is really nice. I: When did your band begin to further your music through the visual imagery both in your live performances and your videos? J.C.: I met Sipho when he was the leader of a dance team and dancing is part and parcel to the culture:
you grow up and learn to dance, everybody dances. Those stamping dances we do, we’ve incorporated in the live act we do. We originally didn’t get support from the media at all in our country, so we had to ally black and new music. Nobody was sure what the hell these guys were doing and to overcome that problem we decided to make it as visual as possible so people would be at least entertained And the music would get through as visual. That has basically been our formula for success in the sense that we are dancers as well as singers. I learned to sing through the dancing. On a dahce team you have to learn to compose. All the roles of composition I actual& learned from Sipho. I I: You said that you didn’t get support from your media originally. Is that because they weren’t sure exactly what Juluka was? J.C.: No. It was politicti. South Africa is fragmented by Apartheid into ethnic groups first of all and then its a double fragmentation. You divide it racially and then ethnically so the black people themselves are subdivided into all the different groups. It’s a very clever way of divide and rule. You have a horizontal and vertical fragmentation. This gets into the media, you have black radio and white radio and the stuff you play has to be slotted into (the appropriate) program. If you’re singing in Zulu, then you go on the Zulu program. (By singing in merent languages) we were challenging that fragmentation. It was only af& Scatterlings, we got support from the white radio stations but up. until then, there was no support;. I.: HOW, as a young man, in a country that is SObent on segregation, did you cross the line? J.C.: In many ways, Apartheid is in your head because you inculcate it through the educations system and you inculcate it through the family and every-things around you. If you think Merently, you can actually be with a lot of black people The Government doesn’t have enough People to monitor it a.~. It’s a small government with 500,00C8 people ruling over twenty mmion I, used to say, “Well I’m going into a black ho&e1 I’d be arrested maybe, but before I got arrested I’d have already been in 5 times. I made acquaintances with the Black municipal police and they’d just turn a blind eye. I would be great, dancing, you’d meet all sorts of people, and Sipho’s ~~rnmunity was so excited and move that this young white boy

Licies. really wanted to learn how to dance and I was learning this black music, I was learning to sing. I used to learn off by heart some of the songs. Some of them were these really rude...songs I’d sit there and play them and they would -love it, you know. I wouldn’t know what I was singing. I'd like to say,-of all the black people in South Africa, it’s your migrant workers who are the most politically rightless. They’re the ones who have the least control over their destinies. Although, this is the case, they’re the people who have the most life affirming energy, the most culture, in the sense that they have developed a sort of cross-over. They’ve taken a Western guitar, they’ve tuned it differently, they play it differently...They’re very . colourful, very vital...they’re saying “we will be heard, we will live, whatever happens we will see this through”. Although there’s a lot of violence, aggression, a lot of pain, a lot of anguish, through that there was this incredible. music... Every weekend., the street musicians, on the street corners are competing just for a name. There are people moving in the streets from one hostel to another, crowds of people, andyc&mw to make up songs, you have to compose songs all the time. You have to make statements about society all the time and it’s all done through African metaphor, very human metaphors. Our political problem will not be presentea through an ideological framework. It will be presented perhaps as a wrong marriage. Something which you, as a human being, can relate to immediately’ I.: If you present your music in an ideological framework, does the government have the power to stop you? J.C.: I’d like to point out we have a very critical press, we have a free press. You can say anything against the government as long as you don’t use Marxist or socialist ideas. The reaction then could be violent. I.: Why do you think your country is so- paranoid about Communism~ J.C.: South Africa had the second Communist party in the world after Russia.;.In 1922, they declared Fordsburg a Soviet...the authorities were called in and a white against white war was developed. The Communist party banner photograped somewhere in 1922 said “Workers of the World Unite to. keep South Africa White.”
I.: How long do you think it will -take for your country’s problems to end? ’ J.C.: It’s going to take a long time. We talk about a unitary state, we talk about one people, and we talk about moving away from fragmentation, which is our .dream. What Juluka is does not exist in South Africa. What Juluka is, what we want to become, is a. kind of premonition of what could ‘be. At the moment, there’s a gap in the social situation in South Africa because the government has relaxed a lot of the social apartheid in order to rework a lot of. its economic and political apartheid It’s trading off oneagainst the other. That has opened a lot of gaps and a lot of people are experimenting now, going wild There are a lot of multi-racial bands now, alot of multi-racial theatre, there’s a lot of that. I.: IJo you feel that some of the sanctions the West have imposed against South Africa because of apartheid is helping ease the problems there? J.C.: The people it’s going to hurt are the black people. An overwhelming majority of black workers said they didn’t want sanctions to be implied, they prefer all other kinds of pressure, political, cultural, that kind of thing. Until we have : a very strong, homegrown black entrepeneurship working and until blacks have business rights in white areas, economic sanctions aren’t going to help. I.: Is the song “Bullets for Bafazane” based on a true Story?
J.C.: Yes, Bafazane is our roadie. There’s a lot of gang warfare that occurs among the less priveleged people. They’re fighting over job opportunities, they’re fghting over a lot of things. South Africa structures opportunities in such a way, it forces severe competition- among many people. Bafazane was caught up in a feud and what we call a faction fight and they were hunting him down to kill him. He’s avery, very trusted member of his community. We went through this experience with him and the song comes from that experientie. I.: Of all the countries you have visited, which one did you enjoy the most? J.C.: Canada’s been really good to us. We’ve been to some very good places; parts of Germany. Hmburg in Germany was incredible. Also, one or two imues inthe States were really good to us.

by John Zachariah Imprint staff Bobbing about in an ocean of movies which, outwardly, would appear to be more credible and entertaining, The Terminator stands to be ignored as highly disposable science fiction schlock. Before you dismiss it as such, though, think again; like last summer’s Bachelor Party, this new Schwarzen,egger vehicle rises high above
its own dubious origins, primarily on the merits of the piercingly vivid atmosphere which the movie creates. This atmosphere, coupled with an able plot and cask more than excuses the few shortcomings which the movie has. The subject of time travel is never easy to deal with since the entire concept is filled with inconsistencies. However, The Terminator, at
least makes it interesting. Arnold Schwarzenegger portrays something called a Terminator, a sort of halfhuman robot, covered with human flesh, but whose innards are all metal and circuits. Made only as a killing machine, thie Terminator rolls up in the year 1984, from forty years in the future, to murder the mother (Linda Hamilton) of a resistance
leader who has yet to be born. Director James Cameron has put quite a bit of work into giving The Terminator just the right “feel”, as it were. Not only are the action scenes executed with almost unerring deftness, but there is of also an atmosphere desolation which prevades the whole affair, thus making the movie rather emotionally stirring. . 2

Nylons artificial
never
by Chris Wodskou imprint staff Who says family entertainment is dead? The Toronto-based Nylons proved that the generation.gap can be transcended as they played three weekend shows at the Humanities Theatre to packed audience which ranged in age from six to sixty. Consisting of Canadians--Marc Connors and Claude Morrison, and transplanted Americans--Paul Cooper and Arnold Robinson, The Nylons delighted this mixed audience with their unique brand of a cappella-music. All members of the group have impressive artistic careers behind them, especially in the fields of dance and the theatre which are vital components of their live show. Seeing the Nylons in concert is quite a different experience for those of us more accustomed to concerts dominated by bright lights where the only times the band members ever speak to the audience are to say, “Thank you,” or to introduce the next song. In this respect, The Nylons present more of a vaudevillian revue than a-standard concert.‘ From the outset of the show, they established a rapporte audience based on their effusive brand of humour which verges on a stand-up comedy routine. They incessantly poked fun at themselves and the audience and kept everyone almost as entertained during their breaks as during their singing. T’he dynamic vocaiizing of the Nylons is, of course, the reason for their broad appeal. Each memeber has an exceptionally wide vocal range and the strength of their singing The only accompaniment to their can be breathtaking. harmonizing was the occasional drum track, but even this was unnecessary in most cases. it particular note is Arnold Robinson, a former member of the legendary Platters. His remarkable voice usually played the part of base guitar but when singing lead he displayed a very strong tenor. The Nylons drew from some original material, but concentrated more on doo-wop classics of the 50’s and 60’s such as “Up On The Roof”, “Walking In The Sand”, and “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” which was sung by Marc Connors in an amazingly compelling falsetto. The Nylons perform these covers with style, sophistication and polish, making other contemporary “rockapella” cover groups like The Flying Pickets seem silly and immature by comparison. Every number was intricately, yet light-heartedly choreographing the appearance of the great doo-wop groups of the 50’s and 60’s with one member singing lead at centre stage and the rest of the group in the background filling in the “shoowops”. elaborate during The The choreography was most Euro-thmics’ “Take Me To Your Heart” and “Combat Zone” flr’t’. : tf-t, Seamless album, both of which were filmed for L!;>..omiiig video releases by the Nylons. One of the most endearing qualities of the Nylons is their refu;al to take themselves or anyone else too seriously. Even in the case of highly emotional ballad, they sang with a tongue-in-cheek dramatism.
Einstein by Wayne Morris Imprint staff Last Friday, Philip Glass brought his ensemble to an almost pakced house at Massey Hall. His music appeals to a wide variety of tastes as evidenced by the unusual assortment of people in the audience. His work is often described and while I as “minimalist”, carry. an aversion for labels, this one is quite apt. In fact this is one of the most striking features of Mr. Glass’s music: it’s simplicity. ’ He uses simple arpeggios in very repetitious and tonal parts for each member of the ensemble. Yet the way he combines these elements is at times breathtaking. His ensemble was composed of four keyboardists: himself on synthesizer, three people on various flutes and

Especially hilarious was their skit about “Marco Lamour and his Kinky Sextet”; a scathing satire of smarmy, egomaniac, Jack Jones type of tuxedo-clad, Ramada Inn piano lounge Mr. Connors played the title role to the hilt, performers. culminating in an intentionally overblown rendition of “Town Without Pity”.
to pacAked
The Nylons have definitely found a winning combination. Their records sell extremely well, solely on the base of their vocal prowess and their concerts are a well-balanced, delightful mixture’ of song, dance, and humour. It’s really no wonder that they are as popular with parents as they are with their kids.

saxophones, and a live sound mixer. Each of the musicians is quite well known in his/her own right. Jon Gibson (Flute, soprano sax) is a composer, artist, and founding member of the New Music Ensemble. He has worked for such people as Steve Reich, Terry Riley, La Monte Young and has been a member of the Philip Glass Ensemble since 1968. Kurt Munkasci (sound mixer) has co-produced all of Mr. Glass’s records and has worked with such artists as Anthony Braxton, Ornette Colemena, and Brian Eno. The whole ensemble performed extremely well. It was a real pleasure to see musicians of such high calibre playing together. I thought it was interesting that Mr. -Glass gives the sound mixer full performer status in the conductor’s position on stage, but after all

The programme contained excerpts of most of the works Mr. Glass has composed from 1976 to the present, including “Floe” ’ u rom Glussworks), “Act III” of The Photographer, “The Grid” (from the film Koyaunisqutsi), and excerpts ot his most renowned opera, Einstein On the Beach.
. the mixer can be considered a sort of electronic conductor, n’est ce pas? However, in spite of the mixers newly found role in an ensemble, Mr. Munkasci did little more than set up a
balanced sound with very _ little change. I also thought (if I may be so critical) that the sound level was a bit too high. The clarity of Mr. Glass’s music is a quality I hate to see get lost in overamplification as was the
The concert also included excerpts of. the recently completed the CIVIL WARS: a tree is best measured when it is down, and. what . . . I thought to be the highlight of the evening: “Glass Pieces”. Here Mr. Glass has written a very sensitive duet for soprano saxophones where they trade off phrases of the same melodic line. In fact, it was performed so smoothly that if

Mr. Glass deviates further from his usual style in the last section of this piece by using a drum machine. Many purists would frown at sucjl behaviour, but Mr. Glas., pulls it off magnificently, creating the most excitinti piece of the evening. Philip Glass and his music strive to avoid categorization. He composes music for opera, dance, theatre, film choir, as well as recording his Ensemble. Another fact I found curious was the Philip Glass Ensemble played in the Kool Jazz Festival this past summer. Philip Glass is indeed a major force in music today. It will be easier to get hold of his music as CBS has now re-issued the 4-album set Einstein on the Beach as well as Dunce.

criminal act by Linda McCord ‘I Imprint staff It’s a crime.when good acting is wasted in a bad play. Crimes Of The Heart, a play by Beth Henley, was presented by Theatre Laurier last weekend. The setting for the play is a small town and the story revolves around three sisters and their lives. The stage was set as Lenny’s (the eldest sister) kitchen but all of the important action took place off stage. People come and go throughout the play, bringing news of events, while the sisters hang around the kitchen yelling at each other and crying. The biggest prcblem in their lives at this moment is the fact that Babe, the youngest sister, has shot her husband “because she didn’t like his looks”. Meg, the middle sister, comes back from Hollywood, leaving her supposed singing career only to inform her sisters that she has been working for a dog food company. Then there’s poor Lenny, whose horse got struck by lightning on her thirtieth birthday. While sitting around in the kitchen waiting for something to happen, the sisters talk of the past, present, and future; and the audience is able to piece their lives together. The ending of Crimes is disappointing. The sisters have a brithday celebration for Lenny, in the kitchen, of course. During the course of the play, they have settled any personal differences, and now they are laughing together, just like old times, as if nothing had happened. The phone rings bringing more news from outside, but the lights
fade, ending the play. Lenny MacGrath, played by Lynne McNab was supposed to be the main character in the play but Bronwyn Powell, portraying Meg, stole the show. She was the sophisticated sister from Hollywood who had broken away from the small town and Bronwyn played the part for all it was worth. Christina Gibson did a good job playing Babe. Her first crying scene was poorly done, but later in the play, her soliloquy about her husband’s shooting was quite effective. Ms. McNab, as Lenny, was disappointing at first. She didn’t seem to be comfortable in her own kitchen. It wasn’t until the very last scene that Ms. McNab seemed to become Lenny, and then she absolutely glowed with the love she shared with her sisters. Chick Boyle, played by Ruth Demeter, had a small part as a nosy neighbour. She played the part well, however, bringing some comedy into the play each time she appeared. Robert MacAulay played Barnette Lloyd, Babe’s lawyer. This character was a fiery young lawyer with a vendetta, which Mr. MacAulay played convincingly. Dot Porter, The doctor of the town where the sisters lived was portrayed by Phil Hiebert. Mr. Hiebert appeared to be very nervous (for it was likely his first time to act), and as a result, was extremely cardboard in his characterization. Crimes Of The Heart revolves around t’he MacGrath sisters. The play is supposed to show how their relationships are effected by the events that happen outside the kitchen.

1 CA .D’s new t,rouuction Tennesse e Williams’ masterpiece, A Streetcar ZVczme$ Desire, is rapidly gaining momentum as it approaches the performance dates in mid-r \Jovember. The production is being sponsored by the Crea ltive Arts Board of the Federat ion of Students and directed by Ned Dickens, who is best known to local theatre buffs for his performances in Bartleby, The Knack, and Waiting for Godot. Says Dickens, “I am tremendously excited, this show seems to be a magnet for enthusiasm. We have assembled a remarkably talented cast who work extremelv u,fell toaether. d-- --Since theainitial rehearsals the level of energy has been
I?ersonal
explosive and the quality of work has been zxtemely high”. Discussing the play itself, Mr. Dickens observes that the largest obstacle and at the same time the greatest opportunity lie in dealing with what he calls “The Brando Myth”. “We don’t want to recreate, contrast with any other production, on stage or film, thirty years ago or at Stratford today. We want to deal directly with the text itself in all its incredible richness.” The role of Stanley Kowalski will be played by Mark Caspi, best known for his portrayal last year of Dot tor Faus itus Ior the Drama Department. Blanche Dubois will be played by
Annett Harris, a newcomer to Waterloo who has done work in Toronto. Stephanie Moskal will play Stella Kowalski and Dwayne Heppner, another newcomer, will play Mitch. “This play is filled with beautiful olpportunities for character actors in the smaller roles and with this cast we are finding that each little piece can be a gem.” says Mr. Dickens. The performance dates are Thursday, Nov. 15 at 8 p.m., Friday, Nov. 18, at 5 & 9 p.m., l Saturday, Nov. 17, at 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. and Sunday Nov. 19, at 2 p.m. The show will be in the Theatre of the Arts and tickets can be bought in advance from the Arts Centre Box Office or at any B.A.S.S. outlet.
interaction
by Mathew Ingram Imprint staff The Peace Petition Caravan began here in Waterloo some six months ago, with a concert at the Humanities Theatre featuring Scott Merritt and Heather Bishop, and a call for assistance in getting signatures for the nation-wide petition. Four hundred and six thousand signatures later, the Peace Petition was delivered to representatives of the three major political parties, and the Caravan officially ended. In Waterloo, the Caravan’s accomplishments were celebrated by a march on Saturday Oct. 20th, followed by a coffeehouse later that evening---again featuring the inimitable Scott Merritt. Although Mr. Merritt has entered the ranks of the musical elite with the airing of his “Transistor” video on MuchMusic, it has in no appreciable sense altered his performance or his personality. He still appears to take pleasure and satisfaction out of playing for small groups of people (be they devoted fans or not)--venues whiCh other musicians with videos would no doubt sneer at as being beneath them. An example of Scott’s deviation from this norm is his series of appearances at small folk festivals throughout Ontario this

summer, from little knowns such as the Killaloe Craft Fair and Kingston’s Blue Sky Festival, to larger events such as the Festival of Friends in Hamilton. At the festival in Hamilton, which a lot of die-hard folkies see as the Eaton’s Centre of festivals, Mr. Merritt’s chosen venue was the series of workshops set up on smaller stages throughout the park, although he did do a show on the main bandshell. Mr. Merritt’s own unique style of performance is ideally suited to this sort of personal interaction set-up between audience and performer. He tends to present a rather shy and retiring derneanour in his between-song chats, as though what he has to say is unworthy of much interest. I think that those glimpses of Scott Merritt the person are as vital to his music and an appreciation of it, as the music itself. In an informal setting (such as between sets), Mr. Merritt’s interesting and interested demeanor belies that on-stage reticence and simply the fact that he chose to remain at the back by the coffee and cookies between sets, is evidence that personal interaction is indeed a vital part of his art . AS concerns the actual musical selections in the set, Mr. Merritt played all his favourites---“Transistor”, “The Ping-Pong
Merritt’sart
Song”, “Slumberland”, “St. Christopher”, etc., as well as several new selections; these included one called “Lockstep” as well as one regarding the Catholic Church and poverty in Mexico entitled “Lambs To Save”---employing the same sort of echo-delay sound effects that are used in “Transistor”. When most reviews of this nature state that “the crowd was small”, they tend to mean it as a shortcoming of some sort; in the case of Scott Merritt’s performance the crowd was small (it was, after all, in a church basement) yet I think both Scott and I preferred it that way.
‘Fishing smoothes out as it develops
by Rob Allen In contrast to the Pinter/Beckett triple bill offered at Theatre of the Arts earlier this term, the UW drama dept. presented Michael Weller’s traditionally
structured play, Fishing. The absurd theater typified by the plays of Pinter alnd Beckett generally rely upon inferences and understatement. In Fishing, , the language is concrete, the interactions between characters are strong, sometimes sexual and sometimes violent. The play centres upon three refugees from the Sixties trying to get a handle on the Seventies which seem to be leaving them behind. They uncritically accepted the hippy ethic and find it failing them as they age..The play does not fully exploit the “selling out” of their ideals,
but the characters arouse one’s sympathy because they are trying to grasp some meaning before they pass away. The almost cliche structure of the opening act stretches into a convincing peyote scene, with some hilarious halucinogenic-tinged dialogues. It then bends into a scene on a fog-covered, lookout point, complete with a flashing lighthouse. The final act is unsatisfying with a “life is worth living because it is worth living” closing philosophy and an attempt to tie up all the loose ends. The acting is generally
quite good. Especially notable were Chris Wilson as Robbie and Janet Monid as Shelley. Both exhibited a deft comic touch. The Dan character, played by Bernie Roehl, is two dimensional, spineless, and has been done too many time to be interesting. In general, the play improved with each act. The players seemed unsure of themselves at first, while the tepid audience reaction only exacerbated this. I’ve talked to people who saw later performances and from their comments, it is obvious that the play became smoother as it’s run progressed.

It’s not difficult to form a superficial opinion about the conflict in Central America. Any newspaper or news broadcast features the familiar images of Sandinistas, Contras, querrillas, and generals. Most likely, viewers will also get a heated-up description of a violent confrontation or a village massacre. - What the casual observer won’t find out is the more complex story of people working behind the scenes to bring the conflict to a peaceful resolution. Violence makes good copy, but the intricacies of a cease-fire, the quiet persistence of a diplomatic note, or the patient mediation of a village dispute often go unreported. Yet without some knowlege of these peaceful interventions, how can anyone here give them useful support? Seeing this problem, a coalition of ten local and campus groups is presenting a two-day conference entitled “Peacemaking in Central America”, on November 9th and 10th. The conference, which will take place in the Great Hall at Conrad Grebel College, will showcase seven speakers from Central America and Canada who are actively involved in a wide variety of peacemaking activities. Their workshops and presentations will include descriptions of mediation teams, church-based community organizing, diplomatic efforts. lobbying campaigns, refugee support, and the work of liberation movements. This wide overview of peace programs should help participants to give a more effective direction to their own local efforts. The main speaker at the conference will be Dr. Julio Quan, a noted researcher on land tenure and poverty in Guatemala, and presently an educator and an organizer of international peace teams based in Costa Rica. Faced with the crushing injustice of Central American society, Dr. Quan’s first response was a close study of land problems and related class conflict. Once he made this analysis, he began to explore non-violent alternatives to the ususal Central American pattern of revolt and reaction. The most vivid example of Dr. Quan’s work has been his involvement with the Gandhi-inspired Peace Brigades International (P.B.I.). With this group, he has trained multinational teams of mediators for work in border regions. Beginrling in 1982, P.B.I.‘s Central America Project focussed first dn problems on the Honduran-Salcadoran border, then later extended its work to Nicaragua and Guatemala.
The P.B.I teams act as neutral observers in areas of conflict, mediating between disputants and informing local communities about methods of peaceful conflict resolution. Dr. Quan will give two presentations during the conference. On Friday evening, November 9th at 7:30 p.m., he will describe “The Roots of Conflict in Central America”, drawing on his own research. This lecture, one of Conrad Grebel’s Stauffer Lectures, is free to the public. On Saturday morning, November 10, he will outline case studies of direct peacemaking work in the region. To add a feeling of immediacy, a film and music are included in the program. Preceding the conference, St. Jerome’s College will be screening the feature film “When the Mountains Tremble” at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, November 7th. After Dr. Quan’s lecture on Friday, Nov. 9, the Latin American musical group “Altarado” will perform in the Great Hall at Conrad Grebel.
