Dr.Wright urges fee hike

by Karen Plosz Imprint staff In recent speeches, UW President Doug Wright has been emphasizing a “fearsome shortfall of revenue” and the faiiure of provincial grants to meet the financial needs of the University.

In the event of continued underfunding, Dr. Wright states he would support a tuition increase, if that were possible.

Says Dr. Wright, “1 recommended to the government that if they are not able to increase what they take from the taxpayers, they should allow universities to deal with the cost problem by increasing tuition iOy6 per year plus the inflation rate.”

To a meeting of a local chapter of the Administrative Management Society two weeks ago, Dr Wright said the amount UW is receiving in provincial grants has made it difficult for the University to do its basic job of teaching and research. Ontario universities are caught in a bind. They are given inadequate funding by the provincial government, yet they are not legally able to increase tution fees set by that government.

Revenue per student down 40% in thepast decade

Ontario.

Basically, it’s a question of equity and a problem of taxpayer resistance, according to Dr. Wright. Most taxpayers are reluctant to pay more in taxes and “Not everyone goes to university.

One must wonder about the extent to which those who don’t go (to University) should shoulder the costs” through taxes. Right now, Ontario taxpayers provide 820/i; of the revenue for the university, with 180/2:coming from the students. “it’s in the face of that that 1 have concluded that it’s going to be very difficult to get enough support from taxpayers”, he says.

Dr. Wright, working on the assumption that a university education can help ensure a high-paying job, and education therefore is a wise investment, says the next step is to look at the debate in terms of “What is a reasonable charge? What is a university education worth to the students, and what is a reasonable way to structure the finances?”

He ?ontinues.

“- I here’s one whole class of arguments

Fee hikes not attractive, buf’only

-- I’m not

practical thing”

“Over th,e last decade, approximately, revenue per student has diminished by some 40 Yi in real terms and that’s been associated with a tightening of the bolts”, Dr. Wright notes.

As a result, he says, “Class sizes are larger, the teaching load is heavier and teachers have less opportunity to give students individual attention. In many courses essays cannot be marked as they should be, class si7es are often large in specialty subjects, laboratory equipment is obsolete. We just don’t have the money to spend. At U W, the ratio of students to faculty is 23 to 1. That’s extremely high. Fifteen years ago, the ratio was 12 or 13 to 1.”

advocating it -- saying that University graduates should pay a premium or tax after they graduate, since they’re obviously getting the benefit of the university education.”

Raising tuition fees, says Dr. Wright, is not “the most attractive thing, but it’s lik>ely to be the only practical thing.” However, “I’m talking theoretically.

Under the present provincial policy,, we cannot increase tuition.”

Dr. Wright cited,a case in Michigan where students were charged $4,000 in tuition while U W charges under $1,500 for two academic terms.

A university of Waterloo’s size and research capacity in Ohio or California, for example, would have a much lower ratio of students to faculty members, Dr. Wright said. Similarly, universittes of “decent quality” in England would havre a ratio of 10 or 11 to 1, in Germany the ratio would be 8 to 1 and at “decent” American universities the ratio would range from 8 to 13 to 1. Even in Quebec and Alberta, provincial funding is much more generous than

Asked about the new Liberal, NDP alliance at Queen’s Park, Dr. Wright said, “Both have indicated their appreciation of the fact that universities are underfunded. Theretore we hope and expect that Mr. Peterson will be able to solve some of our problems.”

Another good sign Dr. Wright pointed to was, “Mr. Herb Epp, the local candidate, who spoke explicity about the funding problem, and I don’t think he did that on his own.”

by J.D. Bonser Imprint staff The Federation of Students came down strongly in support of integrated Studies students in their continuing battle with the Llnitersity administration at last Sunday’s Students’ Council meeting.

Objecting to “the manner and implementation of the decision to fundamentally alter the 1.S. programme (by) budgetary changes without punishing students without a consultation, hearing, and unlawfully removing the power to manage the programme from (I.S.) Operations Council,” Students’ Council passed a motion to censure the administration.

In a second related motion, Council also voted to take legal action, if necessary, to redress these matters.

Support for the motions was not unanimous, however.

Three councillors, Ross M orrissey (Arts), Steve Pitkanen (Engineering), and Stephen King (H KLS) refused to endorse the proposals because they felt the wording to be too confrontational.

The motions were passed near the end of the 7 l/ 2 hour marathon Council meeting.

The extreme length of the meeting was due to a long agenda, procedural wrangling over approval of Board of Directors’ minutes, and inadequate preparation on the part of some of the executive, and a number of the councillors.

Other items dealt with at the meeting included the Federation budget for the current year.

Cutbacks in funding were made across the board in Federation operatio.)s, but only the reductions in the funding of events sponsored by the Women’s Commission were debated.

Kate Krug (Women’s Executive members Commissioner) and Martha Wright (Education Commissioner) challenged the cutbacks, but Mark McKay, vice-president operations and finance, cited limited attendance at events last year as the reason for the reduction. He stated that he could not justify spending a large amount of money on a small group, and encouraged Ms. Krug to provide more revenue through increased admission prices to make up the difference. The budget was approved without amendment.

In his executive report, Mr. McKay announded

that the Executive is in the process of’ hiring a replacement for fired Fed Half manager Jeremy Hunt.

He also reported that the executive is considering how to implement increases in the cost of health “insurance” administered by the Federation. ‘It was brought to the attention’of Council that the insurance was In reality a cost sharing program wherein students established a fund from which all prescription claims were paid. One-third of this fund goes to pay for birth control pills, so one proposal discussed-was to remove these from the plan and have Health Services sell them at cost to students desiring chemical contraception.

If this subsidy of the pill is retained, however, fees will have to increase from $12.50 to $13.68 next year and in addition the deductible will be raised from $2.50 to $3.00.

Arts Dean Banks has acted to resolve the problem of students being denied access to honours Accounting courses, reported Federation President Sonny Flanagan, following a meeting with those involv,ed in the dispute.

He also inlormed Council that the Federation is investigating hiring a lawyer to assist students suing landlord Terry Good for alleged rent overcharges. The Federation last year assisted students in a successful fight against the practice of pro-rated rent payments.

Mr. Flanagan reported that the Federation is also looking into the legality of the proposed Computer Service Charges.

Although considered by the administration to be user fees, there is in fact no guarantee that all students will get access to computers, so it may be argued that they are in reality tuition fees, which are limited by law. If passed by the administration, the Federation may appeal to the provincial government, or if necessary, seek a court injunction.

Council also approved the expenditure of $3,250 under the discretion of an ad hoc committee, to hire an architect to prepare conceptual designs for renovations to the Bombshelter.

The next Council meeting is scheduled for Sunday, June 9th.

CFS:

by Karen Plosz Imprint staff Although student representatives from McMaster, Wilfrid Laurier and Lakehead Universities returned from last week’s Canadian Federation of Students Conference in Halifax “cautiously positi,ve” about the organization, U W Federation President Sonny Flanagan returned with his decision to stay out of CFS strengthened.

Says Mr. Flanagan, “1 certainly wouldn’t recommend, on what I’ve seen, that we join CFS. They offer very little and I think they go beyond any mandate they should have.”

Other student representatives, however, felt that the CFS was worth belonging to. “We’re committed to CFS,” said David Rawlings, Lakehead’s vicepresident, university affairs. “It has a lot of services to offer increasing public lobbying,

May

31,1985,-,

Flanagan says too much time; is spent on badly researched international issues Travel Cuts, the awareness, Student Work Abroad Program and the new chairperson, Barb Donaldson, is wil!ing to work cooperatively with CFS members.”

Scott Rogers, vice-president of the McMaster Student Union, and Matt Certosima, president of the WLU Student Union, were impressed with the student aid campaign organized

by CFS. They felt that the conference was a good learning experience and expressed confidence in Barb Donaldson.

Referring to the CFS, Mr.’ Cert0sim.a said, !‘Every organization has its problems, but can they be solved? We can’t be sure unless we try.” To this end, Mr. Certosima will recommend to his board that WLU become a prospective CFS member.

Sonny Flanagan was not as enthusiastic about the CFS

conference. “It’s a great social but I think we could spend students’ money in a wiser way,” he said.

He protested the amount of time spent on international and moral issues. “We don’t have a mandate to represent students on issues such as NATO involvement and abortion.

Neither do the other representatives.

My strongest opposition is to these types of things. The time spent on this could have been spent addressing other educational issues.”

Furthermore, Mr. Flanagan noted that “No one at the conference questioned how little research goes into the international issue motions.”

As an example, Flanagan worked on a committee that was asked to compose a motion the situation in El Salvador and the FDR rebels. When he asked

who the FDR was, his question was not answered by members of his committee or by the entire membership. The motion was passed.

“Very few solutions were proposed”,’ he continued. “The, motions were all ‘We support, we condemn, we denounce’.”

An exception was the motion on the international student rights issue, which he described as “part of a solution to alleviate a problem”.

The motion supports the issuing of work permits to international students,1 when necessary, to enable them to continue their educations in Canada.

Motions made at the conference dealt with topics such as Canada’s neutrality, apartheid, civil security police, the CFS meeting procedure and support of student .lovements in Chile. Educational issues included the declaration of

international student rights, U W’s Integrated Studies program and discrimination in student housing.

This year’s CFS campaign is student aid.

Says Mr. Flanagan, “a lot of effort was put into the campaign by the campaign committee and they came up with quite a good agenda. Campaigning is what CFS should be a11about.”

On the Integrated Studies issue, Mr. Fianagan admits, “In issues like that - when students are getting it in the ear - there was no argument about the motion. These motions pass quickly.”

The CFS motion called for “the dropping of trespassing charges against the Integrated Studies students laid’ by the University of Waterloo” and encouraged member organizations and the Federation “to be prepared to assist financially in

any suit brought forward to restore student rights in this matter”.

On the housing issue, motions were made for the CFS to lobby the federal government to reinstate low interest rates for the building of residences and student co-op housing, and to direct the National Executive to check the legality of landlord discrimination and of landlords requiring marriage licenses for admission to student family housing.

UW has to decide whether it will join CFS and pay the yearly $60,000 membership fee. That works out to $2.50 to $3.00 per student per term for CFS membership.

U W is presently a member of the Ontario Federation of Students, which Mr. Flanagan sees as a good, flexible organization that is supported

by UW students.

Senate told I.S. is already highly profitable

by Doug Thompson Stating that the studentifaculty ratio in Integrated Studies is better than on the rest of campus, U W vice-president Tom Brzustowski fended off questions from Fed. President Sonny Flanagan about the 25% budget cut to I.S. at the May Senate meeting. UW president Doug Wright agreed with Dr. Brzustowski and added that “other parts of UW are subsidizing I.S.” Mr. Flanagan argued that budget cuts should be deferred until after Senate has received the report of the Senate Review Committee _for Integrated Studies.

He also cited a financial analysis of I.S. performed by Prof. David Huron of Conrad Grebel College which showed that I.S. in fact brings in more revenue to U W than it receives.

Prof. Huron’s statistics show that the student/ faculty ratio in I.S. is _approximately 25: 1, while the U W average is 23: 1.

Dr. Brzustowski has mentioned a “review of the program’s resources” in a Senate finance committee meeting as the basis of the budget cuts, but no statistics from this review have been made available. Dr. Wright has also mentioned an “analysis” of the I.S. budget in statements to

the press, but no details from this analysis have been revealed.

Prof. Huron’s statistics show that I.S. made a net profit to UW of approx. $38,000 last year over and above all direct and indirect expenses incurred by the program, and that the $60,000 cut for next year will leave I.S. subsidizing other U W deparments to the tune of $98,000.

The administration has not responded to Prof. Huron’s report. Dr. Wright’ said that Senate does not usually decide on financial matters, as this is the responsibility of the Board of’ Governors(BOG).

He added

that the I.S. topic was more a matter for the June Senate meeting when the Senate Review Committee will be tabled.

Despite the lack of BOG approval, and- the serious questions raised about the validity of the administrations “review” of‘ I.S. funding, the budget cuts are already being implemented by I.S. coordinator Joe Sheridan. The number of Resource Persons in the program has been cut from seven part time to two parttime. Photocopying, telephone, and space restrictions have been implemented, and funds available to students to support

their independent study programs have been drastically cut by the coordinator.

While these cuts in education support have been made, students say that Mr. Sheridan has spent heavily on new chairs, terminal stands and a second color TV which they say are quite unnecessary. In addition, they point to the unknown expense of the coordinator’s hiring of Hugh Miller, a former Resource Person whose contract was not renewed in 1982 because of student displeasure with his performance, to ‘help him’ with his job.

His job, students point out, was carried out in four days a week

150 University at Ph$llip

884-7620

for many years by former coordinator Bill Smyth.

All these changes have been made without any consultation with the students, and in advance of Board of Governor’s authorization.

The biggest complaint students have is the way they have been bypassed and ignored by the coordinator and the vice-president academic, Tom Brzustowski, in the decision-making process. The result, they claim, is badly informed decisions which end up cutting costs in areas vital to the educational environment and increasing costs on administrative overhead.

Responsible drinking urged by Laws

by Jo Ann Hutchison Imprint staff

Responsible drinking and the reduction of “peer pressure which often leads to alcohol abuse” is the objective of BACCHUS, says Gayle Laws, Federation vice-president university affairs, On May 21, UW became a full member of Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students (BACCHUS).

Ms. Laws hopes to “offer alternatives to students so that non-alcoholic drinking is more acceptable. ” Marc Cowan, a full-time political science student at Wilfrid Laurier University is the national director of the organization. Mr. Cowan explained that “BACCHUS is not ‘against drinking, but rather promotes responsible drinking.” He described the group as being “peer related” in that its main focus is helping individuals to handle peer pressure which may lead to excessive drinking.

The organization has been on the WLU campus for the past four years. During that time, BACCHUS has organized various events which have been successful in increasing alcohol awareness. Italian nights, when Italian food and red wine is served, have proven to be popular events, as have wine appreciation nights. BACCHUS has also organized a “Beer Trivial Pursuit Party”. In this game, the questions pertain to facts about alcohol. Participants may be asked to taste a small sample of alcohol or beer and have to identify what type it is. The organization also suggests having “restaurant crawls” as an alternative to pub crawls, since this activity does not exclude people who are underage or those who may not want to drink.

As well, BACCHUS offers educational programs to the university community. An Alcohol Awareness Campaign is being organized for November. Literature about the use and abuse of alcohol is available through the BACCHUS headquarters on each campus or through the head office located at WLU. BACCH US originated in the U.S. in 1976 and has been spreading rapidly since 1980. It has been in Canada since 198 1. A total of six Ontario universities and colleges are involved, UW, WLU, University of Guelph, and Humber College are full-fledged members and two schools, Ryerson and Georgian College, are

affiliate members. This summer Mr. Corwin will be spending nine days visiting 21 universities and colleges in the eastern provinces with the hope of extending the organization there.

There is no membership fee to join the organization. “Interested schools just have to approach us,” says Mr. Corwin. By being a recognized member, a school has full access to any printed materials or ideas the organization may have. Members are also placed on a mailing list, and receive a newsletter to keep them aware of the latest happenings. Members also may attend the national conference which is held in the U.S. each year.

The main source of funding for BACCHUS is the Association of Canadian Distillers (ACD) which is based in Ottawa. ACD funds the position of National Director and student governments may also allocate funds for their campus alcohol awareness program.

The Federation of Students at UW now has an Alcohol Awareness Committee which they hope will eventually become U W BACCHUS. Ms. Laws hopes that “the student body will take over the organization, so it comes from the grass roots level.”

The Feds have already implemented a “parking program” to help decrease drinking and driving. This program has been in effect since February, and allows cars to be parked overnight on campus. If a person feels incapable of driving, the staff at either the Bombshelter of Fed Hall can be asked for a voucher which is put on the car’s windshield to prevent the car from being towed away. Ms. Laws claims that this program was implemented since “it’s not fair to be punished for taking the safe route of leaving your car parked and finding alternate transportation home.” Non-alcoholic drinks are also to be advertised more vividly, so students are aware that they are available.

At WLU there is a program called “1 am driving”, whereby anyone who is driving home that night may ask for a card which entitles them to free soft drinks for the entire evening. This program has not been implemented at U W yet, but it may be in the near future.

MS. Laws realizes that changing attitudes about alcohol is a gradual process which may take several years to achieve. However, she feels that by having BACCHUS on campus, the university community will be made healthier and safer for everyone.

Conference tackles food aid probZem$

by Rick Nigel Imprint staff

Canadian agriculture is in a state of transition.

Canada should determine where its advantage exists in world competitive agricultural markets and food aid to Third World countries should be linked with technical aid. These are the issues upon which consensus was reached at a conference entitled “Canadian in the Global Context: Agriculture Opportunities and Obligations”, sponsored by the Centre on Foreign Policy and Federalism (CFPF) and held last week at St. Jerome’s College.

Over 40 speakers, including academrcs, politicians, bureaucrats, businessmen, lobbyists and journalists examined the place of agriculture in the Canadian economy and food as a trading commodity and instrument of foreign aid.

Irene Knell, Administrative Coordinator for the CFPF notes that agricultural policy needs to be studied because “agriculture is not on the agenda (although) internationally, Canada is the

Roger Young, a researcher with the NorthSouth Institute in Ottawa, stressed that the best way to help developing countries was to make our markets accessible to them. “Trade is a two way street,” he said. Mr. Young believes that we protect too many Canadian industries which produce goods that could be supplied by LDC’s at a lower cost. If we want access to markets in the south, he observed, we must knock down our own trade barriers.

A summary of the conference will soon be published and the CFPF will provide submissions to the federal government on the conference’s findings. Last week’s agricultural conference was the Centre’s third in the last four years. The first two dealt with cultural and energy policy.

Convocation: 50,000 mark passed bv UW rr

by Ann Marie Imprint staff

Jackson

An honorary doctor of letters degree awarded to Canadian author Margaret Atwood was the first of 3,176 graduate and undergraduate degrees presented at U W’s largest convocation ceremony.

The 50th convocation was heid last Thursday, Friday and Saturday

for graduates who had completed their studies in either the fall or winter terms.

After accepting her degree on Thursday afternoon, Ms. Atwood delivered the convocation address. Although her speech was short - ten minutes - Ms. Atwood explored many emotionally and politically sensitive issues.

Her voice clear and slightly disdainful, Ms. Atwood read a poem which she had composed for the occasion.

To the galloping beat of “Twas the Night Before Christmas”, the poem’s narrative voice passed judgement on a myriad of social woes: acid rain, Ronald Reagan, the polluted waters of Lake Ontario, the slaughter of whales, cancer and PCBs.

i

In the poem, Ms. Atwood had the voice of the graduates respond, begging the muse who inspires poets for advice about how to cope.

The muse suggested standard student pastimes - eat, drink, see a movie, get a tan. But the voice of U W’s idealistic graduates was dissatisfied with this advice because the grads want to”siay dragons” and cure the woes

which the narrator outlined. If’ this is the case, the muse concludes, one must “think big. start small” and set out to change the world.

Mark Bachmann, Medal winner for the Arts, enjoyed Ms. address. “S!re could the standard stuff-’ poem “caught their

said Mr. Bachman. He joined Ronald McIntyre of the Faculty of Environmental Studies, Nancy MacNabb from HKLS, David Neudoerffer from Math and Graham Wright from Engineering in receiving UW‘s highest honor for undergraduate students. The Alumni Gold Medal is awarded to the graduating student with the top average in each faculty.

The ceremony on Thursday saw the university’s 50,OOOth degree award. A total of seven honourary doctorates were distributed over the three days.

In addition to Ms. Atwood, earth scientist ’ Lyman Joh Chapman, environmentalist YiFu Tuan, chemist Janos Ladik, and engineers Walter F. Light, Matthew Kuhn and V. Roy Duxbury were honoured.

The spring convocation also two outstanding recognised members with faculty distinguished teacher awards.

Dr. Koncay Huseyin of the Department of Systems Design and Dr. Kenneth Westhues of the Sociology Department each received a $1,000 grant to support their teaching activities.

Both are senior professors. _1

On fees and finances.

Within the next month we should see a new government at Queen’s Park. The recently signed accord between the Liberals and New Democrats will hopefully provide an Ontario government much more empathetic to the needs of the university community.

constraints

at the May 21 Senate meeting, UW President Wright implied that a change in government may ease the situation. lie has been very vocal lately in decrying the very low level of funding in Ontario relative to other jurisdictions and the way that this adversely effects the quality of education in this province.

Previous Conservative regimes have been woefully inadequate in their commitment to higher education in this province.

While the federal government increased its transfer payments to Ontario for educatron by 7.5% (or $1 12 million) this year, the provincial Tories have passed on only 5% of this to Ontario universities.

Dr. Wright should be commended for bringing the issue of underfunding into the open.

When he suggests, however, that students assume a substantial burden in making up the difference through greatly increased tuition and incidental fees, he is barking up the wrong tree. Most students’ finances are presently stretched to the limit.

In the recent provincial election campaign, Liberal Leader and soon-to-be Premier David Peterson, was not off the mark when he said the Conservatives “swindled” universities of $29 million.

He pointed out that they had diverted $6.8 million of $31 million in transfer pa.yments from Ottawa slated for colleges, as well as $22 million of the $81 million designated this year for universities.

Outlining his concerns about UW’s severe financial

University students should fight any attempts to have fees raised.

They would also be wise to pressure the incoming Liberals to keep their promises of increasing university funding and improving student aid programs.

A quality university education should be accessible to all qualified students, not just the sons and daughter& of the wealthy.

They would put many of their male counterparts to shame.

They are trained just as the men are, and are often tougher, as they have to prove themselves within the maledominated school. Women are frequently harassed at RMC because many men, both students and professors, maintain that women have no place whatsoever in the military.

Da Hell knows why anyone would want to go into combat!

The question was raised last week in the context of the suitability of Canadian women on the “front lines” In the case of war.

The Ministry of National Defence maintained that the fem‘ale body build and “possible romance” were two reasons why women would not be conducive to fighting wars as men so ably do.

Not that we could expect anything else from the Defence Department, but to be blatantly discriminatory against women is a surprise.

strength than women.

However, in terms of endurance, women surpass men by a long shot. It would seem the rPlt*Il In the Defence Department have this misconception of women officers crawling through the brush and chipping a finger nail on their way to seducing their superior officer.

Wake up boys!

The confidential Defence Department report leaked to the Globe ar~cl !MaiJ states: “The persistent, traditional protective attitudes of men toward women and the development of natural sexual attraction could impair the response to orders and undermine proper superiorsubordinate relationships, thereby eroding discipline.”

So, instead of the government attempting to change “persistent, traditional protective attitudes of men toward women”, they insist on perpetuating these warped attitudes.

The Defence Department is already in hot water over the firing of lesbians in Eastern Canada, maintaining that the women were “security risks”.

Why doesn’t the Ministry of National Defence drop the pretentious bullshit and get on with the issues at hand?

It is a matter of principles.

If Canadian women want the equal opportumty to kill and/or die on the front lines they should have it. Absurd,%isn’t it?

Faith in greed opposed by Church

by Doug Thompson The Tories are true believers, let no one doubt this fact. Last week’s federal budget profoundly underscores their faith in an economic logic as old as Adam Smith: that the unfettered pursuit of personal self-interest and private gain is identical with the best interests of society.

“This budget is about jobs” says

h e a d S

Finance Minister Michael Wilson as he increases regressive taxation on lower income groups, and reduces taxation on groups who have lots of money, and whose sole purpose for existence is to increase the profits of their members (these groups are often benevolently known as corporations).

The Tories (and probably most Canadians) would like to believe that greed really is a good thing. It’s comforting for a businessman who lays off workers and buys machines to replace them, and gouges consumers with ever-higher prices, to believe, as Tories tell him, that he is being a good and noble citizen, fulfilling his public responsibility.

The Tories have their heads stuck in the sands of time.

Corporate expansion today means acquiring other companies with no investment in new productive capacity at all, or, alternatively proceeding with the mechanization of industry which only increases unemployment.

Too many years in opposition, perhaps, have made the Tories blind to Canadian economic realities and sensitive only to archaic, albeit popular, economic fables.

They can’t get Adam Smith’s ideas out of their heads. Greed is not a force to rely on for the creation of a healthy and just society, Adam Smith and Michael Wilson notwithstanding.

Were it so the best economy would be one with no government restraint at all. It would be good for the powerful and wealthy, for a time, until it triggered a revolution.

We have only to look at the early history of industrialization to see how corpo’rate employers treat their workers when there are no unions, or government legislation to protect the powerless.

The Tories claim their budget is a new philosophical approach.

So what’s new about increasing regressive personal taxes and decreasing corporate taxes? In 1940 indiv’iduals paid 29%, and corporations ZZ% of the tax load. In 1985 individuals paid 50% and corporations 15%.

The Liberal opposition is rather confused on this issue, because they would also like to believe that Adam Smith was right. While they admit he’s not, they have not consistently applied an alternative.

Lalonde’s last budget, for example, emphasized corporate capital accumulation almost as much.

The United Church of Canada, quick on the draw to pan the new budget, makes a critique more to the point. A healthy society requires a tax system, says the Church, “that will put Canadians on a more equal footing.”

Wilson’s budget does exactly the opposite. Further, the Church insists on recognizing our obligation to those less fortunate; the poor, the unemployed, the elderly - those who are unequal and defenceless, upon whom this budget places a disproportionate burden.

When human dignity is respected by government and citizenry alike, prosperity is assured. When prosperity alone is the goal, as in the new Tory budget, human dignity suffers, The rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer, and Canada will be more prosperous - but whose Canada? That of Canadians who are already wealthy.

The exploitation and neglect of the poor will not make our land greater, it will only multiply injustice and encourage avarice.

I have met few people who are not willing to acknowledge the essential wisdom, sanity and reasonableness of Jesus’ injunction to “love thy neighbour as thyself” and his identification of this with love for God. Yet, even though accepting its soundness, there is a consistent and profound willingness td forget the ideas as soon as practical loving action is required. Is it possible to have a sane, reasonable and wise society while neglecting love, the very touchstone of sanity?

Christianity began as a faith for the poor and has always been ill-served from too close a connection with wealth and power.

Once more we see the proof that “it is harder for a rich man ts

Archbishop

by hike Loh - Recently on the tenth anniversary of the fall of Saigon, both ABC and NBC spent about $1.2 million on a live report from Southeast Asia. I caught a large portion of ABC’s Nightline with host Ted Koppel seated on a balcony overlooking downtown Bangkok. Even coming as I do, from an area just a couple of hours flight south of what was once the point of conflict, I somehow didn’t feel anything truly outstanding about the entire affair, especially after being offered various specials by newsmagazines and the papers on the same subject. , The Vietnam war ended when I was 10 and whatever I know about it now comes from articles and reports accompanied by those countless pictures immortalizing the suffering and death.

The impression Iwas left with is therefore totally different to that of World War II, which incidentally was also highlighted around the same time, this being the fortieth anniversary of its end. Instead of *memorials commemorating the victorious in Vietnam, there are endless images of a bloodbath in a country having geographical features so llke my own (Malaysia). The effect is shocking but the reality of it all is too difficult to grasp.

Now we are presented with a review, a look at the past to uncover the pain once more and to observe the changes since.

Nightline included a portion on the refugee problem in Malaysia.

Vietnamese boat people have been coming to Malaysia in overloaded vessels ever since the Americans fled from Saigon.

They come singly or in twos or threes from the same family, mostly leaving their only relatives behind, hoping for instant acceptance by other nations. The First World initially responded swiftly, relocating these oppressed people into their societies and providing all necessary measures to make their future more compatible to the norm.

After a decade the refugess are still streaming in, arriving in no better shape than their predecessors. But the entire situation is approaching a turning point. Some refugees were reported to have remained in the temporary holding center for up to six years, still awaiting the decisions by representatives of their prospective hosts. Life for them is reduced to daily renewals of hopes and let downs. The issue may not seem as grim as it sounds when stories about how the settled refugees adjusted begin to take over.

However, it will continue to be a tugging reminder of the war that left these people homeless. The day when no more Vietnamese refugees are screened and relocated still seems beyond the horizon. It is apparent even the First World now finds it rather taxing to efficiently accommodate them all at once, even if the effort is done for humanitarian reasons.

Meanwhile, there is the waiting and there probably will be more wars, adding to the many trouble spots this planet has seen every day since the creation (or evolution) of humans. And if the ‘other side’ wins, more refugees will have to be taken in, fed, given jobs, and other necessities of life. Or maybe there will be a final battle where the refugees, if any, are rare and have nowhere to run.

enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.” Jesus also said “You cannot serve two masters, God and Mammon.”

The service of God and our fellow man requires that the economy of this nation be devoted to augmenting human dignity and alleviating material deprivation.

God knows we have the wealth to do it. We are not a poor nation, we’re a rich one, but the greedy act like they’re poor, forever covetous of their neighbours.

The service of Mammon requires a greedy grasp for more and more and more and is a great tragedy, because Mammon is never satisfied - greed can never get enough.

Yet our government has chosen that road of tragedy, a road 01 spiritual and human impoverishment in the name of prosperity, a road which if not turned away from, may create a little material wealth, but will leave us morally and spiritually impoverished.

Garnsworthycompares

by Mathew Ingram Imprint staff To a fairly large percentage of those who follow such things, including myself, former Ontario Premier Bill Davis’s decision to exte,nd full funding to Roman Catholic schools came as a rather large and nasty surprise. A certain proportion of that surprise was no doubt due to the fact that it seemed Davis had actually made a decision, regardless of its political acuity or lack thereof.

The furore that surrounded the announcement of this funding extended deep into the Cabinet, and sent ripples throughout the Tory party. It also sparked impassioned denunciations from virtually every non-Catholic leader in the Ontario community.

The most famous protest, of course, was Archbishop Garnsworthy’s comparison of Davis to Hitler.

This comment, while an understandable expression of out rage on the Archbishop’s part, has done a fair job of obscuring sensible discussion of the issue, if that is even possible with the amount of emotion that surrounds it on both sides. Those who support the funding are accused of being reactionary in the worst way, and those who oppose it are branded rabid antiCatholics - the kind who put up posters denouncing the Pope as out to control the world. They are often seen as one and the same with lesbians and homosexuals yelling “kill the pope” in Utrecht two weeks ago.

Those who attenipt to discuss the issue with some modicum of sensibility, 1 feel, will always arrive on the side opposed to the funding. This opinion, in my own case at least, has nothing whatever to do with the fact those to whom funding will be extended are Roman Catholic. I was brought up Roman Catholic myself, attended catechism class till my 14th year, went to a separate school for several years, and only comparatively recently became what ii called a “lapsed” Catholic.

I would feel no differently about the entire question were funding to be extended to the Mocinies, or the Mormons, or t hc Anglicans.

My opposition to the whole issue stems from my dislike of favouritism of this kind being enshrined in legislation.

This same feeling extends towards the not-unrelated issue

Bill Davis to Hitler ?

currently being fought out in the courts concerning the Lord’s Day Act; why should this sort of law affect those who believe the Lord favoured some other day, or even those who belong to Vonnegut’s Church of God the Utterly Indifferent?

It is my heartfelt opinion that the opposition to Catholic funding is not limited to myself and a few others of similar mind, nor is it confined to those who despise Catholics in general. I am convinced that the majority of those without something to gain by the proposal would agree that no amount of discussion could make the Catholic funding question anything but religious favouritism of the worst sort.

Society finding it hard to accept any limits at all ( To the editor: In the May 1985 issue of Reader’s Dipcsf. I read an article by David Suzuki which eloquently expressed an all too seldom expressed view regarding the progress of scientific technology.

In the areas of human studies, scientific research must work within the limitations of being human. This means that it must accept the reality of deat h, of a person being an organic unity and of the limits of natural boundaries.

Society used to expect the sky to be the limit but today it seems that with that frontier surpassed, society is finding it hard to accept any limits at all.

But without limits science becomes out of control, inhuman, and degrading and assures the existence of a fate worse than death: that of life without humanity.

Mr. Suzuki remarks that his reaction to recent hinhlv publicized medical experiments is in the minority.

I would%ki to publicly agree with his reaction in the hope that I add one more voice to the cry for the dignity and quality of human life.

Flanagan seeks government,

by Angie Salewsky Imprint staff

The intervention of the Ontario Government or a court injunction may be sought by the Federation of Students to block the levy of a computer service fee of up to $70 on students next fall.

Since UW already charges very close to the tuition limit set by the Ontario government, the new levy is being called an “incidental fee”, in addition to tuition, so technically it will not push UW’s tuition over the limit.

Federation president Sonny Flanagan, however, calls it a “pseudo tuition fee . . . This, as far as I’m concerned, is tuition.”

The introduction of the new fee, according to Mr. Flanagan,

“will set a very bad precedent.

The Federation will be opposing the increase.”

He pointed out that the fee is not tax-deductible, and represents a 15% to 2070 fee hike for engineering and math students, and OSAP assessment is not increased correspondingly.

The implementation of this new fee, recommended by the Board of Governors (BOG) Executive Committee, would be effective in the fall term of 1985 and apply to all faculties.

The revenues raised by the fee will be used to offset the cost of maintenance and enhancement of computer facilities.

All faculties will pay a flat fee of between $28 and $70 per term. Engineering and Math

students will pay the maximum fee of $70, Arts, H KLS and Integrated Studies the minimum fee of $28, and Science and Environmental Studies will pay $42. Revenues of $1 million are expected to be raised to cover maintenance, but will not cover enhancements.

Money to improve facilities will result from a second enhancement fee applied to full-time students.

considered to be enhancements and what’s not,” Mr. Flanagan points out.

“I’m notifying the Deputy Minister of Education and requesting his intervention,” Mr. Flanagan said.

If the Ministry intervenes, one of three things can be done. The fee can be reduced, eliminated altogether, or the tuition ceiling can be boosted so that the fee would not be considered as an incidental fee.

H KLS is the only faculty that will not be affected bv the enhancement fee, expected to raise $400,000. The dean of each faculty will have the authority to decide how the money is to be spent on enhancements, but “there are no guidelines as to what’s

Last week Linda Tranter, the 1.S. rep on Federation Council, took a few minutes to phone up the I1 students who are members of U W’s Senate.

Three days later, she’d only managed to get phone numbers for four.

Ms. I-ranter was seeking to speak with Senators about the 1.S. budget cut and the Senate Review Committee’s report which will be on the agenda for the June Senate meeting.

She was told by the University Secretariat that it was “against policy” to release phone numbers, although the secretariat offered to forward mail to them.

The Federation did not have the phone numbers, and Ms. Tranter found that most student societies didn’t even know they had Senate reps.

She said “I find it apalling that, although, as students, we have only a handful of reps, the administration has a policy which prevents us from easily contacting them.” She said it was not a “malicious attempt to destroy democratic structures” so much as an “inherent distrust of students and a paternalistic attitude to students.”

This is not the first time Ms. l-ranter has run afoul of university policies which prevent students from communicating with Senators.

At the April Senate meeting Ms. Tranter tried to give Senators copies of a K-W Record story on Integrated Studies.

“I’d planned to send a copy to all Senators,” e’xplained Ms. Tranter. “Then 1 found out there was a meeting of Senate that night, so I, photocopied the story and went to the meeting.

Everyone was smiling and thanking me for the copies” she said. Ten minutes before the meeting she gave them to those present and put copies at the places of those who hadn’t arrived yet.

“Then Jack Brown, the university secretary, read it. He immediately ran around the room and picked up all the copies off the desks.” Jack Brown told Ms. Tranter that Senate has a policy that you can’t give things out unless the chair has seen them. “He told me that if I didn’t stop, he would take stronger action.”

Ms. l‘ranter described the and policies as “frustrating” contrasted the situation to the ease with which a constituent can contact a member of federal or provincial parliaments. The result, she said, when it ends up taking three days to do something that need only take a few minutes, is that less gets done and “goals get narrowed.”

Ms. Tranter also had hoped to familiarize Senators with the proposals for changes to the program made by I.S. students.

While copies of the proposals are being mailed to Senators, she wanted to discuss them with members of Senate before the meeting.

Initially she had planned to contact every member of Senate. Now she feels she’ll be lucky to even get a chance to talk to the 11 student members.

The issue at stake for her is the proposal which will be on the agenda 01 next month’s Senate meeting to slash the I.S. budget from $220,000 to $169,000.

Research conducted by students and I.S. alumnae has indicated that there is no justification for the budget cut, but rather good justification for a budget increase. Although the university administration has not responded at all to the student’s budget analysis, and has produced no figures of their own to justify the cuts, the proposal still stands.

Ms. Tranter’s concern is that Senate will be asked to vote on the matter without having seen the relevant information.

In addition, a report from the Senate Review Committee which major may suggest changes to the program is expected to be tabled at the June meeting. ’

English “universalized”

by OED

*

by Andy Marshall Ikprint staff If you are not a semiologist or an English major, it is likely that the “and beyond” part of Adam Makkai’s discussion “The Tree of Sub-Dictionaries . . . And Beyond” will be the part that interests you. Dr. Makkai is a master of more than 20 languages, from Sanskrit to modern English and Japanese. He was at UW last Friday as part of the ongoing series of talks on the computerization of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), held at the U W Centre for the OED. With direct reference to his specialization, “stratification linguistics”, Dr. Makkai, from the University of Illionois, discussed the use of Lambian flowcharts as a procedural model for searching out idioms for selected English words. This is a complicated system.

When applied to a language such as English, where a given set of synonyms has multiple correlations between itself and its set of meanings - what Dr. Makkai called a “neutralized” language the Lambian flowchart ends up looking like a schematic of Habitat.

But beq’ond this, we are looking at an innovation, an interactive dictionary, that will likely revolutionize and, possibly universalize, the English language.

Computerized lexicbn may let you copyright slang as soon as you invent it You might recall the debates that occurred a decade or so ago over the inclusion of American slang in dictionaries - e.g., Webster’s. 1 he word “fuck” became a hot academic topic. Well, the debate is over: colloquialisms - thanks to authors like Salinger, H.S. Thomposn, W.S. Burroughs, etc. - are now definitely English words. Through linguistic progress, we now know that to is to be in an existing condltlon which 1s be, say, “spaced”, communicated with significant meaning to others by the symbol “spaced”.

However, in the past, the lag between the creation of slang or colloquial idioms and their inclusion in a dictionary has often exceeded their life-spans in general usage (ignoring nostalgic is making a comeback). But, in an age of revivals - e.g., “groovy” computerised lexicons and widespread honle computer use, it is conceivable that each word you invent could be input into your account with the Big Diet’, and then copyrighted, presto-mondo. and lexi-art could become thriving n’ew Lexicography professions in the near future. .4pparently, there is even a potential political angle to this. 1 asked Dr. Makkai this questioh: “Given the obvious economic constraints limiting the inclusion of new words in any dictionary, electronic or not, how does the lexicographer decide which publications will be used as sources for the auto-OED I!” Say you were the decision-

maker; you’ve got ten open entries lef< Do you take ten new words from Just Another Asshole, from The Lkonom~~ of Cities; from The ~~reedol71-~-i~hret-‘s Handbook, (a CIA publication, available from the bookstore), or from a combination thereof! (I’d go for the JAA. But I’m sure many other people would prefer to-ignore it.) Should a new word from a banned book be included, giving recognition to its source in the etymology? Who will decide? An apparently honest and open man, Dr. Makkai said he would prefer no exclusions, but that this politicisation of the dictionary is a potential problem.

(However, censorship is already politicallq~ motivated in both Western and non-Western worlds.)

A further problem that seems to be under present consideration by one of the sages who attended the talk - whose name 1 sadly forget - was, how does one record the changes in a word’s menaing that result from gestural inflection? Imagine, if you won’t, a videodictionary!

Yes, that is under active consideration as a distinct possibility today.

One day, you may hit “return”and a distinguished face will scroll down with a somber, distracted expression and lacklusterly pronounce, “Nice . . . ” And you’ll know that “nice” can be a negative sign, too.

by Jo Ann Hutchison Imprint staff The Canadian University Services Overseas (CUSO) will move its office from Needles Hall to downtown Waterloo tomorrow.

According to Susan Isaac of CUSO, “the move has been initiated by CUSO because of its changing focus.” Isaac explained that the organization now focuses more heavily on placing people in overseas positions who have been working in their career field for a few years, rather than placing students who have just graduated from university.

She said, however, that “the organization is appreciative of the university’s support and it still wants to maintain contact with the university.”

CUSO is a non-governmental, international development program sponsored by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).

Although the organization now does most of its recruiting off campus it decided to retain the name CUSO because people were familiar with it.

CC/SO’s average age is up to 30

When the organization was founded in 1961, the Canadian Federation of Students gave it much support, so CUSO offices became located on campuses across Canada. At that time CUSO placed many university graduates in Third World countries.

Students who have just graduated from university may still be placed, but now the average age of workers-is 30. This change has occurred because overseas contacts are now often requesting workers who have minimum of two years working experience in their field.

Isaac pointed out that U W students are at an advantage because of the co-op program. By the time a co-op student graduatres with an undergraduate degree, he or she may have accumulated enough experience to qualify for a position. ” People are placed by CUSO on a two year contract in one of the 30 developing countries involved with the agency. CUSO workers are referred to as “co-operants” because, when

working in a different culture, co-operation is necessary if both parties are to learn and benefit from the experience.

Co-operants work with government ministries and local organizations of host countries in the areas of education, technology, health, business, and agriculture.

Field workers suggest ways development can be promoted.

Salaries are paid by overseas employers, and, although low by Canadian standards, are sufficient to cover essential living costs. CUSO provides airfare, complete medical and dental coverage, and a settlement allowance on the completion of the two year contract.

A “program approach” toward development is

^

used. In a country having a major focus of development, the various members of the CUSO team work together on that goal. In Thailand, for example, the priority is clean, accessible water, so all CU SO engineers, teachers, business and agricultural advisors work on this problem.

“This integrated approach prevents people from doing their own thing,” lsaac explains. The organization also supports programs which are aimed at helping the local people help themselves.

Community awareness is another concern of CUSO. Because CUSO co-operants have exberienced first-hand the problems of development, the causes, and the local efforts by people in those countries to resolve these problems, those who return to Canada are in a unique position to assist community groups in developing awareness programs. In the fall, the Waterloo organization will be presenting a play with the assistance of a local amateur theatre group. This play ties m with the theme of the International Youth Year and is part of the group’s community awareness program.

The CUSO staff plan to keep in contact with the university. A binder containing information on CUSO will be kept in the Career Information Centre in Needles Hall and people interested in becoming involved with the prganiration can visit its new office at 89-91 King St. North, Waterloo.

“bitar War#’ is danEerous

by Rick lVigo1 Imprint @aff Project Ploughshares, a disarmament group based at Conrad Grebel College, has organized a national letter-writing campaign urging the federal government to reject the American government’s invitation to participate in research for the Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI). The SDI, popularly known as “Star Wars”, is a $26 billion project which would use space-based lasers and computer-guided projectiles to destroy incorning nuclear weapons.

Ploughshares sees the Star Wars program as a destabilizing escalation of the nuclear arms race.

In the following interview, Ernie Regehr, research coordinator for Ploughshares and the Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies at Conrad Grebel, outlines his concerns about Star Wars.

Imprint: What are your technical and political objections to the Star Wars Program?

Regehr: You can’t separate the two. The political objections derive from the lack of technical capabilities.

It is clear that a “leak proof’ umbrella defense against nuclear weapons, which President Reagan has promoted, is technically not in the cards.

If it is going to protect the population then it really has to be 100% effective.

Even if it’s 99% effective and the Soviet Union has 10,000 warheads aimed on North America and 1% of them get through, you’ve got 10 multi-megaton warheads dropping on +&n different cities with unacceptable damage. A system with a 1% leak in it would be an incentive for the Soviets to increase their over-all numbers [of warheads].

A leakproof umbrella “not in the cards” I: So you see the Star Wars proposal as being inherently destabilizing?

R: It’s very destabihzing.

What they’re [the Pentagon J interested in is not providing immunity to the nuclear threat, but creating a system that will provide some protection for American especially for land-based weapon systems intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM’s) and land-based command and communications facilities.

I: What makes you feel that is the case?

R For one thing, that’s feasible. If you want to protect 1,000 ICBM silos you don’t have to have a 100% system. An American anti-ballistic missile (ABM) system against Soviet ballistic missiles which would increase the survivability of their silos by 50 or 60%, they would be viewed as being a significant gain. I think that’s the type of system they’re interested in.

I: What about people who say that making missiles less vulnerable to attack is a stabihzing influence?

R: That is a reasonable argument, except for the

context within which it is made. The United States has advanced substantially in the development of first-strike weapon systems - the Trident D5 [submarine launched], the Minuteman 3 missile, the MX missile, and the cruise missile - which threaten pre-emptive strike against Soviet systems.

They have also developed the doctrine of the survivability of nuclear war and the prolonged fighting of nuclear war.

President Reagan is carrying out a major strategic modernization program which calls for American capacity to develop pre-emptive weapon systems for the survivability of weapon systems for the purpose of conducting a prolonged war in which they have their chance of prevailing.

Within that context, the Strategic Defence Initiative has a completely different impact r; It then becomes a means not of deterring war, but a means of conducting prolonged war because it adds to the survivability of land-based missiles.

So, from the point of view of the Soviet Union, this initiative is seen as offensive rather than defensive.

SD1 a means of waging prolonged nuclear war I: What do you think the Soviet response will be?

R: The Soviets view the SD1 in much the same way that Americans have always viewed Soviet civil defense measures.

Whenever the Soviets build bombshelters, the Americans always view that as provocative and offensive because it communicates to them that the Soviets obviously think they can fight and survive a nuclear war.

The Americans may view SD1 as defensive but, to the Soviets, it’s a highly provocative thing.

So I think the Soviet response will be to add to their volume of nuclear weapon systems.

They will take measures to concentrate more of their weapon systems on American submarines.

And any system based in space is highly vulnerable to attack.

So it certainly creates incentives for the Soviets to speed up anti-satellite systems.

I; Do you see Star Wars as an outgrowth of the “technological fix” - the idea that technology can save us from anything?

R: Yes. When Alfred Nobel invented dynamite he called it “peace powder”, [believing] it would make war irrelevant.

Well, we’re still looking for that magical weapon system that will make war irrelevant.

We need political solutions.

I: What are the implications of the Star Wars program for the Anti Ballistic Missile Treaty and any future missile treaties?

R: I think the main objective of American m.i.li&y planners is to develop political support fof, ‘the abrogation of the ABM Treaty. They now feel that the ABM Treaty is contrary to their interests.

It has become anunacceptable constraint upon them.

But there is not a lot of political support in the United States for breaking treaties.

I think the Star Wars scheme is intended to create the perceptionof a very elaborate plan to the American public. They will then draw back from that and focus on much more limited anti-ballistic missile systems which will protect missile sites.

I: So you see this ais a smoke screen?

R: It will make the abrogation of the ABM Treaty look like a modest compromise to make.

I: Do you think the abrogation of the ABM wouldbe a dangerous escalation? a: Yes. Absolutely dangerous, because it just takes the lid off. The most damaging thing in the nuclear arms race has been the uncertainty of the technology.

Both sides then develop their own weapon systems according to their worst case understanding of what the other side has. The Soviets would totally overstate the American technical capability in ballistic missile defense and that would be an incentive for them to add many more ballistic missiles to their arsenal. The Soviets would then accelerate their own ABM program and the -Americans would interpret it in the most negative way and the basis for strategic arms b control would evaporate.

I: Both Prime Minister Mulroney and External Affairs Minister Joe Clark have said that Canadian participation in Star Wars could produce thousands of j obs in this country and upgrade hightech research.

Do you see validity in these claims?

R: No. That’s just nonsense.

You don’t engage in that kind of research for the sake of jobs. If you are going to participate in SD1 you have to justify it on strategic grounds.

Ifit’s not a positive development on strategic grounds, I wouldn’t care whether it created a thousand jobs for every few dollars spent.

That wouldn’t make it justifiable.

If it’s dangerous strategically, then there is not economic justification for it.

Canada’s support crucial to USA k What role would you like Canada to take on the world stage in general and in disarmament in particular?

I1: Canada has made some important contributions to international multilateral disarmament negotiations and verification technology.

What Canada has not recognized sufficiently is the influence that Canada has in conferring or witholding legitimacy upon American policies.

I: Do the Americans care?

R: If the Americans don’t care, why do they expend so much effort in trying to get Canada to declare solidarity with them?

They want to have a single continental policy.

If America can not get an expression of solid support from its immediate allies, then that undermines the credibility of the United States with other people.

It can be a superpower with political and economic influence only in an environment in which it has respect.

Canada must have a clearer articulation of its own strategic analysis and objectives and be clear in withholding support for American s~~stem~ that we deem to be destabilizing.

Tears are not enough?

by Peter Lawson Imprint staff On the eve of May 26 a mob of 2,000 plus packed Centre-In-The-Square to scream, shake and clap to the beat of Tears for Fears.

The hall filled with swarms of restless youths to saturate their musical and visual needs.

The opening act, Vancouver’s Idle Eyes, played a short set of their brand of music which is an unconvincing convolution of “hard progressive rock”, “new music”, and “the funky”. Because this group attempts to straddle these multiple plateaus of musical styles and fails to do each justice, they ooze through the cracks between these categories into obscurity.

Best known for their song and accompanying video, “Tokyo Rose”, this band wanders through most of rock’n roll’s most hallowed cliches; there were all the strutting and grand gestures of every misguided rock group.

But the positive thought remains - that this act filled the Canadian content quota so vital to Canadian culture, though few at the Square noticed.

Rock & Roll Cliches The reaction from the young audience to the much awaited Tears for Fears performance began slowly. The group caused a ripple when they dropped “Pale Shelter” into the pool and received equal reaction to “Mad World”.

The largest vocal and bodily responses were attained from the slaving of “Everybody wants to Rule the World” and the set finishing “Shout”.

Two encores (“Suffer the Children” and “Change”) were required to satisfy the audience’s lust.

The teen audience threw many screams at the shiny faces of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith (group leaders), and these screams were ear inflicting in the acoustically resounding Centre-In-The-Square.

Because

the acoustics have been designed to carry the lighter sounds of violins and woodwinds, the high end frequencies at times possessed an ear piercing brilliance.

At concert’s end, the young audience seemed to be pleased with the event, though “this old man” would criticise the group for lacking sustained musical punch and eye captivating staging to vault this band into the truly unique. Oddly, this group has produced interesting videos but did not use that technology to enhance their stage show.

$19.00 Show?

By criticising Tears for Fears for their lack of continuous musical vitality, it may simply be discrediting the entire genre of synthesized pop ofthe 80’s, which in many instances is as exciting as listening to a kitchen full of electric appliances. A glimpse of what the future holds for Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, may have been presented in the Sunday night show. A youthful saxaphone player (wielding both alto and the rarely seen soprano) deLivered a solid “blowing it out” sound and the occasional “hot lick”. Possibly, these two young musicians could be moving in the musical direction which led Paul Weller to the jazzy feelings of The Style Council.

On stage Orzabal and Smith received the highest vocal response when perched on the stage’s edge and smiled profusely (would make a dentist proud and an orthodontist wealthy). Their movement was unrestricted, but was void of any symbolism or surprise.

Could Tears for Fears be praised for delivering the equal of the $17 .OO admission price? Though Roland Orzabal told his fans “how damn good this song is”, and said he felt that they deliver a $19.00 show, let the 2,OOQ patrons at the hall be the final judges.

Battalion invades De-rnilitarized Zone - bass player James demonstrates his antics which got the crowd going.

Imprint Photo by Joe Sary

by Joe Sary Imprint staff The Battalion Of Saints from Southern California was just one of the many American bands who have visited the DMZ Club in Toronto recently. Their show last Friday, however, was one of the best put on by a stateside band this year.

The DMZ, which stands for De-militarized Zone, hosted a long line of great spring concerts such as Toxic Reasons from San Francisco, Adrenalin O.D. from New Jersey, Articles of Faith from Chicago and The Freeze from Boston.

But none of these the bands quite matched powerful music and tight musicianship combined with the amazing stage performance demonstrated by the Battalion of Saints.

The Saints’ music is rooted in the hardcore style laced riffs and forceful bass lines.

This powerful effect was enhanced by the incredible amount of activity on stage, espaially by bass player James whose energetic stage antics initially inspired . the rest of the band and ultimately the whole crowd.

Like many bands from south of the border, the Saints were surprised to find life in the “land of ice and snow” and were very appreciative of the crowd’s enthusiastic response.

by Harlon Davey Imprint staff The dance floor was very busy at Fed Hall last Thursday - when the DJ was playing, that is. But when Direktive 17, winner of CFNY’s most promising independent act award, hit the stage the dancefloor cleared and everyone went back to their beer and conversation.

The four man group put together in a tight but uninspiring two-set performance featuring an intermission extended from 10 minutes to one hour. (Did anyone miss them?)

Although the lead singer attempted some theatrics and some timely songs such as Cash (on the eve of the federal budget), they still could not pull the audience out of their chairs or their preoccupations.

Direktive 17 has a sort of raw streetwise style that resembles an underdeveloped U2, but this group will probably never see more than just apathetic faces at university pubs.

The lyrics are original and intelligent, but the crowd wasn’t too interested in being lectured.

Direcktive 17 just doesn’t have the charisma or energy to excite an audience, or the music to inspire or motivate.

And while they enjoy their anonymity, I am going to try to figure out why people wear dark sunglasses at night.

by Pete Newell Imprint staff I don’t usually go out of my way to see a Woody Allen movie.

In print, he’s hilarious. On film, two hours of Woody Allen can be more than enough. As a writer/dir;ector, though, he shines; and in The Purple Rose of Cairo (playing at the Cineplex) he has produced one of his best films.

In a small New Jersey town during the Depression, we are introduced to Cecilia (Mia Farrow), a gray little woman who ((vorks as a waitress to support her husband (Danny Aiello).

She spends her evenings at the movies escaping from life. After watching a typical Depression-style comedy (called, coincidentally enough, The Purple Rose of Cairo)-each night for a week, she is astonished when one llf its stars, Tom Baxter (Jeff Daniels), speaks to her from the screen then steps down , from it and runs with her from the theatre. He has been watching her all week, and has fallen in love.

While Tom explores the world of reality with Cecilia, the theatre is left in an uproar. The movie can’t continue without him, and the rest of the cast begin to argue and snipe at the audience. The audience in turn demand their money back. The producer worries about lawsuits, and actor Gil Sheperd, who portrayed Tom on film fears his career will fall apart. ~‘-.i this point the film gets hectic. Tom romances Cecilia,

condition that Isabella submit to him.

Meanwhile, the Duke of Vienna has disguised himself as a friar in order to observe the workings of justice. What follows are the usual Shakespearian complications of mistaken identities and mysterious letters.

Applause must go to Director Michael Bogdanov whose production and interpretation is thrilling, daring, and accurate. Through very clever staging he has transformed an ancient play into a modern tale of morality and hypocricy, justice and mercy.

The staging of the brothel scenes is colorful and ghoulish, injecting excitement and fire into a fairly serious play. In one scene a leatherette starts a strip tease, only to be foiled by the police (not the OPP). The final scene of the play is very well done. An Elizabethan political rally is turned into an event rivalling the frenzy of the Kennedy era through the clever use of security guards and microphones.

The cast, as expected from the talented !3~-~~;~ ensemble, is very good. It merely a matter of judging which characters are iikeable and dislikeable.

Outstanding, however, is Alan Scarfe, as the Duke/FriBr who accomplished brilliantly the portrayal of the honest yet dislikeable character.

Richard McMillan injects zest and liveliness into his performance of the sharptongued Lucia.

Stratford’s new production certainly measures up to Shakespeare’s standards, and then some.

demonstrating his unreality in many ways. As they kiss, he suddenly looks up, and asks where is the fadeout that always ends screen kisses. Gil arrives from California to talk his creation back onto the screen, and ends up romancing Cecilia himself. Amidst all this (this is, after all, a Woody Allen film) is some of the most intensely funny dialogue on film in recent years. The resolution of the whole mess is proper, fitting, and couldn’t be changed without destroying the point of the movie.

It also stinks. I like happy endings,dammit!

Aside from the ending, however, much about the film is Outstanding.

Mia Farrow whines - and whines well. It suits the character perl’ectly. Danny Aiello is easy to hate as her brutish husband, and Jeff Daniels brings two very different characters to life so convincingly that it is easy to forget that they are really the same person. Technically the film is magnificent.

The Depression scenes are properly dull and gloomy, the film-within-a-film is shot in the pearly black and white of an actual period film, and the matching between both is flawless.

What carries all of this, though, is Allen’s screenplay.

He plays cleverly with the boundary between illusion and reality, and has created a bittersweet masterpiece that will be remembered for a long time.

Horror

by Harlon Davey Imprint staff What do you get when you cross Shakespeare with a vibrator? The result is the Stratford Festival’s exciting and bold production of the timely Measure for Measure.

In an effort to remove some of the cobwebs from Shakespeare, Measure for Measure is presented in modern costuming.

Last year The Two Gentlemen of Verona was done in punk leather.

This year Measure for Measure’s cast look like strays from Rocky Horror.

As the audience steps into the Festival Theatre, they also step into the play. The action begins before the play does - the stage is littered with transvestites and Nina Hagen clones bathed in red light and cigarette smoke. This adds to the intimacy of the play, breaking down the wall between viewer and actor, which is what theatre is all about. Anne Elizabeth Dixon’s costuming works very well in stressing the fact that this play, first performed 381 years ago, is still relevant to today.

book

by M.E. Sanajko Imprint staff Vengence is supposed to be the true story of a counterterrorist group commissioned . by the Israeli intelligence agency (Mossad) to avenge the deaths of the 11 Israeli athletes murdered at the “72 Munich Olympics.

Whether the reader accepts Jonas’ intended authenticity is a personal decision since many assembled details encourage belief, but most primary sources remain confidential.

Yet, regardless of any dissention, the mood of the whole story set this reader glancing furtively at shadows,

Maggot

and behind doors. Any book that can do that to a dull accountant must have some merit.

Vengence is about the five man team comprised of’ Mossad agents, whose mission is to assassinate 11 anti-Israeli terrorists key without harming any innocent by-standers.

The team is essentially alone in its task since the Israeli government does not want any political repercussions; the Mossad supplies the required funds via a Swiss bank account.

The plot is conceivable, yet Jonas lets it take on a storylike ambience by tellins it through the eyes of Avner,

Fodder

The band’s name seems selfexplanatory, but I’ll add more.

Maggot Fodder is a four-piece band out of Guelph: a guitar, bass, singer and drummer.

Last Saturday, they put out a tight, danceably “hard core” sound at the Back Door, with much flailing and posturing, and a large contingent of

groupies from Guelph. They were pretty good; nice.

But unfortunately, I can only put them down as preity good or nice. One of the comments I wrote towards the end of that night’s show was, “I mean, they can play together, but if the drummer could do chords, I swear he’d be doing chords . . . ” The drumming turned out to be the highlight of the

Jonas occasionally accentuates the story’s reality element in his detailed notes disclosed throughout the text. He also remarks on Israeli attitudes and convictions that foster the consideration of issues beyond a superficial ‘secret agent’ context.

As Canadians we may not regard terrorism as an immediately significant problem, and up until the story’s conclusion the enormity of the issue may not become a parent. But in the epilogue f onas reports on the subsequent deaths or continued survival of the

remaining names on the group’s list. Suddenly the book is greater than a mere and terrorism SPY story, becomes real and immediate.

However, because of Jonas’ avoidance of the causes of anti-Israeli terrorism, the reader is prevented from developing any real under standing of the terrorist problem.

At the conclusion Avner asserts his own confidence in the mission “as something demanded by necessity and honour”, but readers have tc personally judge the merits of ‘an eye for an eye’ in a democratic and presumably civilized society.

resurgence of technical proficiency, alongside “punk” vigour - see e.g., Husker Du, Long Ryders, Chris “Baby Jesus” Houston and-the Sex Machine (hopefully, June 7 at the B.D.) - any neo-punk band today is going to have to present themselves with at least a surfeit of dynamism and/or conviction to compensate for any dirges in instrumental prowess.

,Friday,

by Mathew Ingram Imprint staff It looked fairly promising there for a while on the New Music scene (whatever that is). Artists like Luba, Parachute Club, and others seemed to be the forerunners of a whole new approach to the image of women in “popular” music. Despite the usual array of cretins whining about how women in new music were castrating lesbians simply because they did not wear scanty outfits and sing suggestive lyrics, their music has gained fairly wide acclaim as the intelligent, insightful, yet danceable and enjoyable stuff it is.

Then came Madonna. At first, it seemed that the media was going to revile her as the insipid bimbo she so obviously is, and indeed they did so for a short time. Reviews were distinctly unflattering, and forecasts of a short, burnout career abounded.

Then, however, after it became apparent that a large proportion of the buying public thought Madonna was the best thing since sliced bread the media abruptly changed their tune, as they are so often wont to do.

Suddenly, Madonna was no longer some nothing from nowhere; she became a “lively, vivacious entertainer”, with second hand depth and hand-me-down meaning - not too much mind you, just a little “thoughtful sexuality”.

A song with the sultry vapidity of “Like a Virgin” outdid the not dissimilar efforts of Vanity, Prince’s protege, and oozed to the top of pop charts everywhere in a matter of weeks. All of a sudden Madonna was the person to like, the person to be like.

This is perhaps the most depressing thing about the rise to prominence of this bundle of unkempt hair and second hand lacy lingerie; she has gained the lion’s share of the teen fashion market, both musically and otherwise.

Lace and crucifixes have become the order of the day. This is a woman who proudly procliams the fact that she is a “boy toy”, and explains her like of crucifixes by the fact that “they’re sexy because they have a naked man on them.”

Glimpses into the shallow depths of Madonna’s personality are provided in a recent issue of Spin magazine, Bob Guccione’s answer to Rolling Stone (and God knows we need

Better that young girls were emulating Lorraine Segato of the Parachute Club and rising up, or even the innocuous Betty Boop of the :80’s, Cyndi Lauper, and having fun, than dedicating their efforts towards getting as many men as possible and “being charming and sophisticated so they could be prepared for the outside world.”

one). Quotes range from “I couldn’t be a success without also being a sex symbol”, something that effectively assumes that the past 30 years of women’s issues were an aberration, to “I loved Brigitte Bardot in Contempt.

She kept Saying ‘tell me what is beautiful about me.’ I can relate to that totally because I really care about the way I look.”

Further insight is provided by Stephen Lewicki, a New York director who starred Madonna in a film called A Certain Sacrifice, in which she and her family of love-slaves find and sacrifice the man who raped her in a coffe-shop toilet. Lewicki, who admits to having a crush on Madonna, and at one point to eating blueberry yogurt out of her ear, sums her up as “ambitious” and tells how she seemed happy only when she was in front of the camera.

Describing her drama class in a resume given to Lewicki, she herself says “I adored each moment when every eye was on me, and I could practice being charming or sophisticated, so I would be prepared for the outside world.” On a first reading it seems incredible;‘it is as if we were listening to an interview with Nancy Sinatra in the 50’s, with her miniskirts, go-go boots, and false eyelashes. It comes as no surprise, then, that Sinatra was in fact Madonna’s first idol.

Aside from any concern for the poor girl herself, which would no doubt be pointless anyway, one might wonder whether any of these archaic conceptions about women are filtering through to her audience. It is a matter of some dispute just how much influence media personalities such as Madonna have on our “impressionable youth.” Nevertheless, given that there is a chance that there is some effect, that effect cannot be seen as anything other than unappetizing and distinctly unsettling.

Even without the (dialogue and celluloid eccents ricity of $rec tor Fr-zvTis Cop1 loia, the 11 Lonon LIUD soundtrack makes for a roaring trip to the times when jazz was hot and Madonna was still a virgin.

The ’ Sagittarius band opened with an instrumental of Bob Marley’s “Jammin”, and immediately problems in timing occurred.

The eight-piece band does not tour with a drum kit, and, because of this, beats were missed and sloppy “fills” were a problem throughout the show.

Another problem with the show was that even during the happiest of songs the horn players had such looks of gloom and despair that one wondered if they had all just discovered that they were dying of some strange form of duodenal cancer.

After three songs, Yellowman, their black-hlbino froniman, took the stage. His original songs seemed to ideal witl, ,limself, marijuana or sex. His hand rarely left his crotch, throughout the show. Almost every one of the songs had a chorus of “Yellow”, “Yellowman”, “King Yellowman”, or simply “King Yellow” repeated ad nauseum.

The high point of the show was excellent bass playing. The I bass player smoothed out a lot the missed frills so that the rhythm section was not a total, unmitigated loss. His style was somewhat of a jazz-reggase-funk fusion which brought an Stephenson element of excitement to an otherwise bor-r-ring show.

The songs have lasted for decades and conductor Bob Wilber has faithfully paid homage to them. The orchestra features some talented trumpeters, trombonists, and the tunes are oozing with the sensual and sexy sounds of the clarinet and saxaphonq.

Notably, the album has been digitally recorded, so the sound is crisp and clear. It is like playing Dad’s old Glen Miller albums, but without the dust and static.

Some particular gems on the albums are The Duke’s Mood Indigo and Creole Love

Other excellent tracks are Ill Wind, Capper Colored Gal g!“,ni~a;heca$o~~g-e “pT’;;ey vocals on these songs by cast members are true and accurate, capturing the mood and essence of the time they were originally recorded.

It is hard to keep a good song down, and The Cotton Club soundtrack features 15 of them which are still kicking, tapping their toes and snapping their fingers. The album is a wonderful hodgepodge of jazz with a pinch of blues, a dash of nostalgia and a lot of class.

quashes Barbados Fresh from their fine showing in winning the strong Western Ontario “B” league, the U W squash team completed its second annual Barbados tour.

Aside from the typically wonderful Barbados weather, the squash was also excellent. This year the Warriors 15 man team was supplemented by 3 members of the Athenas inter-collegiate squad and was successful in winning all of its four matches. The team was further strengthened by the addition of Ralph Bentfield, the popular professional for the Northfield-Doon Racquet Club and a ranking Canadian player, and veteran professional Clive Porter of the K-W Racquet Club. Professor Gerry Schneider (Mech. Eng.) joined the team for the second year and Northfield’s Greg More and Jim McIntyre together with Mike Tudor of the Universitv of Guelph’s inter-collegiate team made up the 18 player team. _ 1

In the matches against the three local squash clubs U W easily defeated Rockley Resort, the Casaurina Beach Club and the Marina Club, but had a keenly contested match with the Barbados national team. Last year the Barbados national team won the contest 9 matches to 7, but this year an improved and strengthened UW squad was successful in winning the new Team Challenge trophy, which was provided by U W’s Athletic Director, Carl Totzke and basketball coach Don McCrae.

The format this year was to have six players in each of the “A” “B” and “C” categories with Waterloo emerging victorious 10 matches to 8.

The general feeling among the more than 20 visitors to Barbados was that squash played second fiddle to the rum and the “Jolly Roger” ocean voyage but everyone was unanimous in wanting to return to Barbados in April of 1986.

Basketball

The Women’s Competitive Basketball League has begun with an enthusiasm and eagerness to last the entire term. The teams include the famous Math Dribblers, Meat Loaf Again, the Pink Flamingoes, and the Scramble Squad. Their preseason games run smoothly and were a good time for all participants.

Some teams require more players, so any individuals that are keen and eager for a Thursday night basketball game, come out to the PAC Thursday night or go to PAC 2040 during the day. All are welcome and most encouraged to play.
