by Laura ScaTrcella & Dave Adams . ‘Imprint staff What is France to most of’&? Perhaps it represents an image of Continental Europe, with its fabled cobblestone -streets, , medieval castles,, famous vineyards,‘ fine foods, chic clothing, and romance. For those ot us fortunate enough to have been there, the word France might even evoke a memory of a particular tourist sight. j- But for Fabrice Cavazzini, Philipe+ Dumont, Frederic Guyon, and Pascal Idez, France means home! These four French gentlement are exchange students, I studying here at Waterloo for one year before they return to their homeland. They are fourth year Systems Design ’ Engineers; who claim that most of their courses are Computer Science ones. They are currently living in residence i-n Student Village 1, where we had an opportunity to ask them for their opinions on Waterloo, social life in Canada, and North America in general.. You might ask, how does one become lucky enough to enter an exchange program? Well, for these four guys all it took was a little brains and a little luck. None 01 them had ever heard of Waterloo until their University’s jo.b coordinator asked them if they’d like to study in another country. “1 was suppose to go to Sweden but instead 1 was sent here. 1 don’t care as long as it’s a change”, says Philippe. “ln France you either pass or fail a course and we were lucky: we just passed more courses than the others and off we went.” Their first and most lasting impression of Waterloo was that “everything is huge!” Their university, (Universite de Compiegne), which is located 80 km north of Paris, h.as many students but almost no campus. Tuition in France runs each student about $150.00 per year, which is what they had to pay to their University to come here. Sound good? Well don’t pack your bags yet because exchange students going to France must in turn pay their North American tuition fees to their University. As Fabrice puts it: “He-the Canadian Student pays-alot to have nothing; 1 pay nothing to have a lot.” Nothing’!, How could France offer nothing? Well, for one

thing, their cafeteria food is not representative of French cuisine at best. “lf you live in residence and go to the student restaurant - OOF!! 1don’t know.how they make it so bad. It’s not well kept, has little windows, and little space. You must wait in line for three quarters of an hour just to be served.” . Do all the guys agree with Fabrice? You bet! They like our Village food !. “It’s realiy good food for a student place. It’s not better than what we could get anywhere but it’s good and well prepared. Our dining room is the worst in France. If you start _’ thinkinghere is bad, you’ll die at our school.” Their University does offer somerewards to help wash down the bad food. For instance, they don’t have any homework! Their class time is spent doing strict theory and work terms are for the practical applications of whatthey have learned. Any ‘homework they do is to learn something new, not to restudy a chapter in the text which has already been taught in class. After all, anybody can read! Besides the excessive amount of homework Waterloo demands of them, they think that the whole education, system here is perhaps too serious. -“The students here takework too seriously. They are workers. They never joke during work. In France, you never work duringthe jokes.‘: As far as social life in Canada goes, theyall agree that the bars close too early. “You can drink ,more than after 1:00 am. This is unusual! In France the pubs stay open all night.” Fabrice says that this is the only real protest about social life that he has. Just where would they go if they could travel around North America? Fabrice is simple. He would settle for the CNTower, Niagara Falls, Montreal, and 52nd Avenue, Ne,w York. Philippe and Frederic think that Vancouver would be nice because “going across Canada would help us to learn more about the country.” Florida, Texas, and --Silicon Valley, California are also favourites on their travel lists. c When asked if videos are popular in France they-all agreed that they were, but the Michael Jackson phenomenon puzzles them. According to Philippe, “Both here and in France eve .yone8 hates him’ but he sells millions of records. This is unusual!”

To the editor:

It is with difficulty that 1 begin this letter, for -- and this fundamental to my argument -- it is much easier (especially nowadays) not to have to think. Consider this attitude for a moment: “I’d rather not have to think; thinking requires too much effort -- I’d rather do something that requires little or no thought”. Compare this attitude, if you will, to the Second Law of Thermodynamics -- the law of entropy. Or compare it to the “least-effort” principle of Economic geography. 1 am talking about following the path of least resistance, Can you deny that this “principle of least resistance” is a law fundamental not only to the natural world, but also to human nature? Given a choice between two courses of action or thought of dissimilar difficulty, won’t an individual choose that course which presents the least difficulty? While this principle of least resistance is an interesting scientific phenomenon, may 1 hereby introduce, in my humble capacity as a student of life, the following interesting social phenomenon: that the economic imperative of the world as a whole has developed and is developing, in its natural course of evolution and as a necessity to its existence, an increasingly omnipotent mechanism for culturing “economic man” through the exploitation of the least resistance principle of human nature. In other words, in order to secure their share of the market, competitive commercial entities must present to the public (the market) increasinly less difficult courses of action or thought. 1 submit, as examples of this phenomenon, glossy magazines and television advertisements, credit cards, mundane television programs and newspaper articles, armchair sporting event, dramaticized news coverage -- any aspect of our economic life which provides an easier course of actio or thought, and which will, in turn, attract more people and wil therefore sell more products. This principle of human nature has, in my opinion, existed throughout the history of “commercial man”, a fact which, if accepted, emphasizes its entrenchment in human nature. So what, you ask’? Well, this is what, that only recently has man developed the tools, knowledge, and economic order (or society) required to fully and completely exploit the least resistance principle in human nature for marketing purposes, and that in doing so, man has perpetrated a course of action which is not inalterably linked with the survival of the world economy. IIs that bad, you ask? Consider: the competitive world economy depends upon making us lazier for its continued growth. Is that good ? Well, let’s stop there. Having accepted the concept of the economic imperitive of exploiting the least resistance principle of human nature, may I further submit that, since the economic aspects of our lives generally. pervade all other aspects of our materialistic liver, society in general is increasingly moving down the path of least resistance. Society is becoming lazier. How can a society become lazy you ask. ‘) Consider the various aspects of an individual’s and a society’s life: political, cultural, moral, physical, intellectual, spiritual, etc. If the pervading element of one’s life -- in this case, economic -- promotes laziness. isn’t it proper to assume that all other aspects of one’s life will also become lazy ? And if society lauds laziness, how can an individual escape its influence‘? In man’s natural drive to improve his lot in life, the path of least resistance is the course of action or thought he will inevitably take. This course of action or thought, however, is not necessarily -- based on the judgement of man’s condition in the long run -- the best course to take. 1 would argue, in fact, that more often than not the path of least resistance turns out to be ultimately undesirable to man as a whole. If you’ve followed my thus far, let me give you a few examples (the inspiration of which I owe in large part ot the last few issues of lmyrint ‘s Forum section). man naturally desires to make his living Physically, conditions more comfortable, and towards this end he constructs buildings within which he may shelter himself from the otherwise uncontrollable elements. In choosing the path of least resistance, man erects his buildings on the most convenient parts of the planet, which also just happen to be, invariably, the best farming land. (G ranted, historical inertia plays a part in the location of a city, but we have the technology today to limit our expansion or to remove ourselves to less fertile land areas.) As well, in constructing his buildings, man rearranges surface characteristics -- by harvesting trees for lumber or mining gravel for concrete, for example -- thus decreasing the natural surface environment’s capacity to support life. Etc. Morally, man follows the path of least resistance by accepting more convenient to him while rejecting moral (how to define?) arguments which oppose these conveniences. I’m refering not but also to other questions of moralityu only to abortion, including sexual behaviour, criminality, genetic engineering,

ads. e.

and international political activity. Politically, man follows the path of least resistance on at least two levels. First, the electors in a democratic system of government increasingly vote on the basis of the candidate’s superficial characteristics rather than on the substance of the candidate’s words: Reflecting this trend, politicians now concentrate on their outward appearnaces rather than on refining their policy substance. Second, the elected officials, in particular at the highest level of decision-making, increasingly choose courses of action which are simplistic and/ or short term in nature rather than pursuing courses of action which in the long run may result in much more desirable effects, not only for the citizens of the particular nation, but also for the world in general (like integrating deviant nations, eg. South Africa, into the world economy so they will be forced economically to conform, rather than to shun them them become marginally economically independent). This attitude is adhered to by the politicians in part because of the short-term conveniences that the general public sees itself as gaining -- and of which it demands from its elected governors -from such action. Intellectually, man is following the path of least resistance by increasingly choosing one side or another of an issue without considering or thinking through all aspecs of the problem. More frequently, people accept what they are told without questioning its validity, or they simply do not have any opinion either way. Instead of doing something which requires intellectual stimulation, the average indiviual would, nowadays, much rather go soak up televison rays or read formula novels. All these effects are in large part caused by the inn overload which has resulted from the growth of the media’s role in the economy, in reaching the market. An individual receives so much information that he cannot possibly hope to absorb it all, so he either accepts only parts of it (the easiest to absorb) or he rejects all of it and becomes lethargic and complacent. People concern themselves with trivial matters, or they become experts in a specific subject matter (and end up shutting out the rest of the world). Emotionally, man takes the easy path by depending less on others and more on himself for his emotional stability: it takes greater effort to interact with others than it does not to interact with them. Since an individual can rarely singularly sustain his emotional self. he must rely upon artificial supports, conviently provided by television and personalized music, or, failing that, chemical helpers. People identify themselves increasingly with media stars, sports teams, or political casues (including nationalism) in their quest for emotional satisfaction -- readymade symbols hyped by society. Culturally,. man as a society accepts more readily those cultures which provide him with the greatest conveniences, and ignores or neglects those unique cultures which are not as convenient or are foreign to him. Economic necessities increasingly dictate how a culture is formed, so ultimately idfferent cultures converge in their overall conformance with these economic necessities (which, after all, are universal). Spiritually, man follows the path of least resistance by rejecting established religious order -- which require great efforts of faith -- and accepting either the materialistic life -which requires little effort of faith since it takes immediate physical form -- or by believing in cult figures (who also take immediate physical form). Failing these, man uses an established religion as an emotional prop, accepting it only superficially when it is most convenient to do so. The end result of what 1 see to be an increasing acceptance of the easier path is basically a total disintegration of the moral, cultural, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and physical fibres of society, resulting either in a worldwide monocultural society of human beings, or in a destructive passive economic confrontation between the polarised elements of‘ the world society (polarized, naturally. along economic lines).

Some notes on 2010 by A.J. Waterman “My God! It’s full of stars,” were the last words anyone on Earth heard from Dave Bowman in Kubrick’s cinema masterpiece 2001: A Space Od~~sse~,.Sixteen years later we are faced with its sequel, 2010, this time directed by Peter Hyams. Unfortunately, what took five years (196,3-68) and ten million dollars to produce in the Sixties appears to be impossible in the Eighties, in spite of high-tech and a comparatively bigger budget. The by-line of 2010 is simple; in fact, a little too simple. Dr. Heywood Floyd (now played by Roy Scheider, oh, if only William Sylvester had been asked to repeat his role!) is building another ship for yet another Jupiter mission. Only this time, its mission is to find out what happened to the first exploration ship “Discovery” and its crew. However, the Russians come along with a proposition: since they (the Russians) have a ship already waiting, a joint mission between the Russians and Americans would serve in the best interests of both parties. Against a background of increasing political tensions, centred around Central America, a deal is struck. Essentially, this is a film without merit. The plot is next to non-existent, the mini-intrigues banal and irrelevant. Hyams has stated that he concentrated more on the human side of this story, but he fails miserably. The characters are onedimensional, offering the audience very little to associate with, except for Bowman, HAL, the “Discovery”, and the Monolith, all throw-backs to 2001. Overall, the film is one, long, gushing techno-clone in a long line of special effects imitators and blockbusters. Eyen worse: in the case of 2001 vs. 2010, the scale of and all details associated with 2001 are wrong. (Some bright, young executives at MGM sold the original sets for scrap in the Seventies.) The fact that Kubrick wanted nothing to do with 2010 is indicative that no other intelligent film could recapture the depth and scope of 2001. Back in 1968. sci-fi films were dying a horrible death; 2001 changed all that w’ith its originality and innovation. 2010 does nothing for sci-fi films. In its two-hour running time, 2OfOcannot even convey a single ounce of’ thoughtfulness, relying more on special effects and a edited version of Richard Strauss’s intro to A/so Sprat-h Zarathusrra to suck the crowd into a boring melodrama. Those of you who were inspired and enchanted with visions of 200f should not go to see 20/U, you will only walk out disappointed at a wasted effort.

“‘I have

my Nova

Scotian

madness”

-Syl

Cheney-Coker

Though under foreign stars I’ve dreamt too much, I have my Nova Scotian madness, still: Oceanic waves of rhetoric, fog-horn Anthems, a war-writ; shipyard history, \ Translated into song and myth by rum. I have that whore and bottle heritage; Yet, memories, as well, of white churches, Of ponds where cluck the parliaments of geese, Of grapes whose wine sparks dreams and wars! Dear Syl, I know pines’ windy heroics, the strength Of stone that fights the sea, the sun’s courage To speak with rain or stand silent in shade, To raise fresh crops of roses, maidenheads, And sculpt fine art from rough creation. Oh, Nova Scotian-Sierra Leonean! Oh , poet-compatriot! I have My birthright: Howe’s democratic tradition: I remember it even in exile, Among a strange people, bank towers tall-The whited sepulchres of Ontario, Where party government owns all power And history burns in the streets of towns, Fooling the dreaming tyrants that they’re God!, Where preachers to bordellos creep, while cops Patrol and stare at the whole creation. I want revolution! Flood the stock exchange! I have my Nova Scotian madness, Syl! I wander, exiled, but prize it still. Richard Prest~on

While jogging at the roads of life a beautiful flower at once entered my mind filling the empty gardens of my heart giving a pleasant touch to my emotions.

i watched the other day as a last, solitary, ok leaf was torn from its vantage point it didn’t softly fall, as other’s had almost a full moon before instead, the winter wind raised it high then blew it north, south earthbound, and skybound when finally it reached the earth the wind swept the frozen soil with it sending it scratching and careening across barren fields once, once i thought it had found refuge among some stubble from fall’s harvest but the wind found it there and shaking it loose raised it to the sky once again i watched as long as i could its forays into heaven its plummets to earth its winter dance along frozen fields. i lost sight of it when a gust took it westward into a harsh winter sun that. evening, the winds let up a grey winter sky gave birth to large, wet flakes lightly at first then more heavily till finally be morning a silent shroud of snow covered the land. the coldness of the night, had hardened a crust. i took comfort knowing that try as it might the winter wind would not find the leaf’s resting place Doug

years of mosquitoes, cities, thorns, When doubt meant a sour drink of scotch to forget What I dared not forget.--my field of rest, My love, our green and wild bed wet by tears; -. When night opened oblivion in my skull, Crows gathered force to break and e‘nter dreams, And I thought I slept on barbed-wire or nails, Colleen, your wheat hair is sweet to me now. I’ve known the eastward rush of trains bearing Love’s cords--the cut and measured guitars of trees; Now, you are golden hair and white hazard, Lovely danger;, under the teasing moon, And our mouths are parched with passion’s firespeech And our bodies are two lakes in which we drown.

by Erin Mullan Canadian University Press VANCOUVER -- Here’s the plot: a feisty little union goes up against a giant multinational corporation. The workers, mostly young people who’ve never walked a picket line, hold out for 10 weeks without pay. They refuse to give up, and the company’s profit margin drops dramatically. It may sound like boffor box office, a honey of a script a la Norma Rae. But this is a-story of a labour dispute happening right now in B.C. between the-Theatre Employees’ U&n and the Famous Players theatre chain, a subsidiari of the $4 billion U.S. conglomerate Gulf and Western. Colbey Peters is on the picket line almost every night. She stands in front of the Capital Six theatre on the Granville mall in Vancouver, wearing her “theatre employees locked out” placard, with a “Famous Players doesn’t play fair” button pinned to her ski jacket. Colbey and her co-workers have been locked out since September 12. In the polished manner that comes from recounting the same story over and over again, they tell their tale to the prospective Famous Players patrons who gather in front of the theatre. The theatre employees tell how management wants to cut Sunday wages by 33 per cent. They say the company wants contract changes that will lead to reduced job security and fewer hours of work. The union wants no pay increase and will settle for a renewal of the old contract, they say, adding Famous Players has refused to negotiate or meet with the locked out workers. The Famous Players lockout affects 210 theatre employees. The workers, over half of them students, typically work 27 hours per week for an average salary of $6.50 an hour. Colbey passes out leaflets while explaining the situation to people standing near the picket line. “Can I ask you to read what’s going on here.” she says to two theatregoers who cross the picket l&e and brush past Colbey says to the bat k of

ay away.” people who k ers’ box office Film indus pus receipts are down 60 to 70 per cent since the lockout began. Most of the 16 Famous Players’ movie houses in B.C. affected by the dispute have seen a sharp decline in business, while the competing Odeon chain is ’ breaking attendance records. Fambus Players’ theatres in Victoria and the Capital Six in Vancouver have cancelled all matjnee shows. Picket captain Bill Downward says, “The people that are going in are the hardcore ‘I have to see a movie or I’ll die’ types, or they’re anti-union or Sacred.” Famous Players management would not confirm its business had dropped. Douglas Gow, Famous Players western district Press, “We refuse to manager, told Canadian University comment because your papers have refused to run our ads. I’m sorry, but that’s the way it is.” Most student newspapers in B.C. have refused Famous Players ads because of the lockout. And workers at Pacific Pr&, wherer both Vancouver’s daily newspapers are printed, have .refused to handle advertising copy for thelocked-out’ theatres. The picketers say the absence of ads in the dailies helps keep people away. “It’s Friday night, and the movie theatre strip on the Granville mall is teeming with people. The crowds are a mix of suburbanites in town to see a flick, teeny-boppers hanging out, and an assortment of street people. The theatre employees are used to the street scene after a couple of months on the picket line. One of the picketers says she thinks many of the passers-by don’t understand the dispute. “People walk by and think we’re on strike when we’re locked out,” Janet Wills says. “It’s the company that have turned their backs. We’re not asking for anything more, just what we had before .” Like the majority of her co-workers, Janet is a student. She goes part-time to Fraser Valley College, but hopes to take a full course load at the B.C. Institute of Technology next fall. Janet says she needs to get back to work so she can save money for school. She has now been locked out longer than she worked for Famous Players. “I’ve never seen so many people cross the picket line,” she says. “Their attitude is, ‘I want to see a movie.’ My attitude is I want to pay the rent.” But this Friday there aren’t as many people crossing the line. Operation Solidarity, a B.C. coalition of unions, has organized support pickets, and the mass of picketers milling about in front of the Capital Six discourages most folks from crossing. Members of the Fishermen’s Union and the B.C. Government Union of Public Employees, labour dispute veterans, give the young theatre employees advice on how to run a picket line. A young executive-type in a suede jacket pauses as he crosses the line to look disdainfuily at the picketers. “Scumbags,” he says. “Hey, you’re takin’ bread off a worker’s table when you go in there,” a BCGEU member replies. “Hey, hey, think about it.”

.c3Immna Looking. at a pi-ostitute’s by -Robby BRobertson reprinted from the Ubyssey by Canadian University Press A Flower in the Rainy film Night, a Taiwanese directed by Wang Toon, offers a compassionate look at one prostitute’s iife. It portrays both the light moments of comraderie with her sisters at the brothel as well as the pain that comes with old age and a forced exclusion from normal family life, so central-,-to Chinese values. Through the immediately character Baiempathetic mei. the film sives emotional expression -io ., important Chinese social, themes, although her escape from the brothels and quick assimilation’ into the rural village of . her youth sometimes appears , too idyllic. The film traces the life of Bai-mei in Taiwan as she is sold to a family who later _ resells her to a brothel in her early teens. It opens with an adult Bae-mei sitting on a noisy, dreary train that seems the instant symbol of’ her trying life. Several flashbacks reveal her harsh entrance into the brothel, and her eventual ’ development into a hardened and streetwise prostitute. Appropriately, this casts the first half of the movie in the stricken emotions Bai-mei silently expresses on the train. Perhaps the most tangible

TEAM BACKGROUND __ ..Nordic skiing is a relatively new sport at the University of Waterloo. The Warrior s were formed in 1976-77 and the Athenas in 1979-80. The Warriors have traditionally been strong’contenders, usually placing no lower than fourth in the OUAA Championship. The Athenas captured the OWIAA Championship in 198 I by a slim margin and have successfully defended their title with increasing strength every year since then. Last year the Athenas won their fourth consecutive championshp by a considerable margin both in the individual 10 km event and in the 3X 5 km relay when the “A” team placed first-and the “B” team second. The success of the University of Waterloo teams can be attributed to several factors; dedication of team members, a quality training program, enthusiastic coaching land strong , team spirit. The spirit and cohesiveness of the team results from its co-operative nature. The team has always been student organ.ized and student coached and this year is no exception. The nordic ski program at the University of Waterloo owes its establishment and initial framework to former coach, Toni Scheier, now the.Cross Country Coaching Co-ordinator for the Canadian Ski Association (CSA). The program further evolved \ under the coaching and leadership of Nick Scheier, Pete ATHENA AND WARRIOR NORDIC SKI -SCHEDULE Laurich and Kevin Jones in 81-82 and 82-83, followed by Jan. 5 Midland Race (SOD Cup.Race No. I) - 10 km Donna Elliot in 1983-84. ~ Jan. 6 Fischer Race at‘ Barrie - 15 km Jan. 13 Exel/ Peltonen at Barrie - 30 km COMPETITIVE ORGANIZATION Jan. 19 Forrest City Loppet (SOD No. 2) at London .
