OFS to watch Liberal gov’t by Todd Schneider Imprint staff
Heard at the Ontario Fkderation of Students’ (OFS) Annual Genrral Meeting, c*losingplenarr*, June 16, 198.5, Guelph, Ontario. ” This (Men’s Cauc,rrs) is unnecessar-1.. Men have been looking at their caucuses ftir too lorzg. ” “I streak, I mean, speak in strong opposition to this motion. ” Also on the agenda: budgets, bilingualism and bureaucracy, among other-x. The issue of francophone rights may’ be moribund on the federa! agenda, but Ontario’s student movement has other plans. The incoming chairperson for 1985-86 is Bernard Drainville, a bilingual francophone. And the resolutions about hiring a documents translator, and lobbying to make Ontario officially bilingual were among those with the greatest consensus and the loudest applause from the delegates. The campaign committee showed that it was ready to roll with the newly-sworn-in Ontario Liberal government. (The Campaign Committee determines which issues and which tactics the OFS is going to pursue in its campaigns on behalf of member institutions.) Among the motions carried by the plenary were: establishing a fact sheet about Liberal education promises made during the last provincial election campaign; preparing a package of recommendations to make Ontario’s community college students part of the decision-making process at their instilutions; and drawing up a comparison of actual wages necessary for students to fund their education. and the allowances that OSAP makes. Speaking as one voice, the budget commit tee found its suggestions equally well-received. Hiring an administrative assistant was accepted with the stipulation that the executive positions have job descriptions to rationalize the OF‘S structure. U W’s delegation took special interest in the OFS committee proposing a legal merger with the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS). (Waterloo is currently battling CFS over fees levied by a now-defunct organization, the National Union of Students, of which CFS is the successor.) Waterloo Federation of Students President Sonny Flanagan circulated a letter from Waterloo’s legal counsel which argued that any agreement signed between the OFS and the federal organization would be legally binding, and Flanagan urged caution on this count. Western’s Chris Bogart (later awarded the meeting’s “Golden Microphone Award” for verbosity) was another holdout. He saw nothing wrong with the merger in principle, but asked for a time to consider the implications of such a move. But these voices were drowned out when the motion calling for the ratification of the OFS/ CFS Working Agreement was carried.

Profs say no to Star OTTAWA (CUP) Large numbers of Canadian scientists are refusing to work in military research programs connected to the U. S.-Star Wars plan to arm outer space. “(We decided) we didn’t want any part of it,” said McMaster University chemistry professor Adam Hitchcock. “(We want) to express our abhorrence of the program .” Hitchcock organized a petition at McMaster which
was signed by 605 staff‘ and graduate students, including university president Alvin Lee. “That’s one-third of the engineers and scientists at McMaster. That’s pretty good considering we only circulated it for three days.” The petition said the Star Wars plan would escalate the arms race, thus violating the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. Hitchcock said the McMaster scientists pledged non-cooperation with the
research involved. An earlier petition at the University of Toronto garnered 40 signatures from U of T scientists, who said the Star Wars plan was too complex and would not work. A third petition at the University 07 British *Columbia gathered 749 signatures, including faculty from U BC, the U of T, the University of Waterloo, McGill and the Universite Quebec Q Montreal.

by Angie Salewsky Imprint staff After establishing UW with a reputation for the best entertainment of any college or university in the country, UW’s entertainment programmer of four years, Gary Stewart, is resigning July 1st. Says Mark McKay, VP operations and finance, “It’s going to be a real hurt to us, that’s for sure”. He said Stewart has built a good reputation for the university’s entertainment business as well as many contacts and knowledge which are invaluable. Simply stated, Stewart is “tired of student politics”. Stewart, who brought in bands such as Orchestral Manoevres In the Dark, Psychedelic Furs, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Clash, Stevie Ray Vaughan, UB40, Katrina and the Waves, and lggy Pop, claims he was “dealing with unprofessional management”. Most student presidents don’t understand how the entertainment business works, what goes on behind the scenes and what it takes to produce a good show, he asserted. “It’s not a matter of booking a band, putting posters up and putting tickets on sale”. Stewart said he came into conflict with the Federation over issues such as office hours. He mentioned that there were times when he would have to go out of town during office hours to do business, which didn’t always go over well. There were also days when he would work from 9:00 in the morning until 2:30 the next morning which made it difficult to arrive at the office early. He cited the Strange Advance, Psychedelic Furs and The Clash concerts as examples of events that took a great deal of time to organize. Stewart feels the Feds “iust don’t understand what goes on”. He said that after becoiing established, “you become confident of your abilities, and when you deal with people who are green to this industry, it becomes frustrating to justify all your decisions to them”. To further exemplify his dissatisfaction with student government, Stewart discussed the time last summer when formel Federation president Tom Allison cancelled ail ads in the Imprint because of his own displeasure with the paper, u/hich hindered entertainment advertising. Stewart also claims his budget has been cut, but Federation president Sonny Flanagan denies this is so. The last straw arrived when a performance by comedian Eddie Murphy was offered to the university but had to be turl?ed down. It would have been an expensive show --~ $17.00 per ticket ~~ and Flanagan felt it was too costly. Stewart finds this frustrating after taking four years to build a reputation for UW to have Eddie Murphy ot‘fered, but then having to refuse this opportunity. “‘I put up with four Isears of varying degrees 01 that kind of decisiorl making. . . ‘l‘he (Feds’) ignorance of the industry makes it difficult to expand. to offer more to the students,” he said. Flanagan justified his decision to turn down the Eddie Murphy performance indicating the capital outlay for the pear-formance would have been S80.000. Given the financial position, he felt, “it uasn’t worth the ri5k”. He admits “1 a 10; of flack” over the

Stewart summarized his stint as entertainment programmer as “the four most rewarding years that I’ve had. It’s also been the four most stressful years that I’ve had”. He affirmed he received a lot of satisfaction and enjoyment from his job, especially when shows went well and everyone enjoyed themselves. He complimented the students of LJW saying they “don’t have to be’stuck in a particular niche to enjoy good music,” which made the job easier for him. Stewart views his resignation as an opportunity to work for himself and better his income. “1’11 be continuing to promote concerts individually in the K-W area, ” he said. Since he will still be in the area, Stewart said he can still offer major acts and “produce larger shows that they’re unable to handle”.
‘“It’s been the four most rewarding also been the four most stressful
years that I’ve had. It’s years that I’ve had.”
Flanagan feels Stewart’s resignation “is a loss for the Federation certainly; I’m not surprised.” He said he knew Stewart had reached the height of what he could do at the university. McKay described him as a very successful programmer and “Gary’s got more of an opportunity to excel at his business”. I‘he Federation now faces the task of replacing Stewart. A new position has just been established, filled by Linda Carter, 01 assistant director of communications. She has the responsibility of producing posters and press releases. which used to be part of Stewart’s job. In addition, Flanagan revealed that B.Ent chairperson John Finkle is enthusiastic about taking on more responsibility and booking bands. Other options would be to replace Stewart with another full tirne programmer, hire one on a part-time basis, OI haIre programming done by free-lance programmers. In this way, “we can stiil tap Gary’s resources”. l‘he Federation is looking at the alternatives in terms of what is the most cost efficient. McKay stressed, howeiler, “We don’t want to sacrifice quaiity just for the price. because entertainment’s a crucial facet of the Federation. Students are more concerned with the quality of the bands than with the quality of the bylaws . . . entertainment here is of high quality and we want to maintain that”. Whichever alternative the Federation chooses in replacing Stewart, his adLice to his successor is ““patie Ice., persistance and determination are keys to rhc job.” He also Isays, “you’ve got to @njOY what you’re doing.”

by Karen Plosz Imprint staff Hewlett-Packard (Canada) Ltd., a computer ihardware company, has joined UW’s Institute for Computer Research (ICR) as a corporate partner, university officals and company announced Tuesday, June 25. Malcolm Gissing, president and general manager of HewlettbPackard (Canada), said that H-P “envisages announcing a major new research and development project involving U W shortly a project that will have some interesting implications for teaching with computers at the unitrersity level.” The relationship between H-P and UW has been quite close in the last ten years. They had been discussing the idea of membership in the ICR for “some months”, said UW president Doug Wright. Partnership involves a $250,000 fee to paid by H-P, over five years. Gissing said a project of this sort is “what we’d like to do once we get established in the community. It is not new for us to go though this process. We have worked with Stanford University also”. Gissing sees it as a good combination because “we can access the University’s fount of knowledge”. He sees H-P’s hardware technology and UW’s software technology as complementary. When asked about how market slowdown affected H-P, Gissing said “if we are able to open up new markets in Canada, we won’t have to
H-P is the ninth of ten corporate sponsor3 in the ICR. Other partners are Bell Canada, Digital Equipment of Canada Ltd., Honeywell Information systems, IBM Canada Ltd., and the Watcom Group Inc.

I.S. trespassing adjourned by Doug Thompson Imprint staff The trial of lntegrated Studies student Ahab AbdelAziz on charges of trespassing was adjourned to July 3 last June 19th, so Wednesday, Justice o? the Peace, Betty F‘uther can consider a defence motion to dismiss charges. Federation Lawyer Antony Keller, defending Mr. AbdelATi%, moved for dismissal on the grou nds that the prosecution had failed to make a case after a two hour presentation of evidence. On July 3, J.P. Futher will rule on Keller’s motion. If she accepts it, Mr. Abdel-A7i;r will be aquitted, if not, the defence will proceed. The prosecution presented evidence that I.S. acting coordinator Joe Sheridan had asked Abdel-Azir. to leave his office on April 10 and that he had in fact left. Then Sheridan asked Abdel-Ayi/ to leave the l.S. program area, which he refused to do, arguing that he felt he had a right to be there, and that Sheridan had no right to ask him to leave.

worry about market slowdown”. Dr. Wright is also happy with the arrangement. “We’re extremely pleased by this latest expansion in our long-standing cooperative relationship with H-P. When we launched the ICR corporate partnership program three years ago, we had no idea how well it would be accepted by the leading firms dealing in computer research. We’re rightly thrilled that H-P has decided tojoin. I’m sure the partnership in the ICR will prove mutually beneficial from a research point of’view.” Waterloo researchers have used HewlettPackard computer equipment for many years. Two weeks ago, the university took possession of a $150,000 HP 6400 microprocessor development system donated to the engineering faculty. H-P also hires Waterloo co-op students. Says Gissing, “University of Waterloo is the largest supplier of our grad needs”. Last year, HP moved its Panacom Division to Waterloo. This facility designs, develops and manufactures industrial data-acquisition and control systems. It will eventually locate in the university’s research park.
by Todd Schneider Imprint staff Wearing a tory-blue suit that flattered his audience but belied his political convictions, Canada’s ambassador to the UN, Stephen Lewis, gave a meeting of the Confederation Club a speech to remember a week ago last Thursday at the Valhalla Inn in Kitchener. He opened his remarks with a few good Tory-bashing comments: “Normally 1 speak for about an hour, but I’m used to talking longer with Conservatives - it takes them longer to understand”. Lewis launched into an impassioned defence ofthe United Nations that by its end had the audience voting with their feet. Lewis is a man who clearly loves his job. He claims not to be an apologist, but an enthusiast. He feels privileged to represent a country that has such a credible profile in the international community, working for peace. Lewis posed the rhetorical question: why are the attacks on the UN seldom answered by the organization? Part of the reason, he claimed, is the traditional reticence of any bureaucrat to be “political” and to take a stand publicly. Sd the task falls on the ambassadors. Lewis outlined the several criticisms of the UN that have become, as he put it, “conventionally wisdom.” Yet he considers these “absolutely illegitimate”.

The udtllinistrution qf the UN is corrlrpt und dL-‘c*rt’pit. Lewis conceded that any administration, after ha\ ing been esta hlished for some time, tends to bog down - and as an example he gave the outgoing 1 ory government in Ontario. But lrom his biew. it i 5 not irredeemable. Nothing e\‘er t~lcrl[~* r~sol\~ucl at the C’.Y. Lewis ol‘lered the truism that any organisation is only as strong as the members that constitute it. As well. he said that the seeming inel‘fcticeness stems Irom the fact that the UN was chartered with a codicil not to override the actions of sovereign states. Lewis olfered a post-script to this last point. l’he utopian language of the UN charter was a reflection of the fact that it was established a scant three months before the annihilation 01 Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 7‘he present superpower struggle was not as overtly in place, and the golden dreams of the \ ictory over Nazism had not been strangled br the political reality that was to follow, he said. Lewis ga\e three achievements 01 the UN as proof of its worth: the post-war process of de-colonisation; the insertion of peacekeeping forces in such places as c’l’prus, Israel, and Syria; and the absence 01‘ a nuclear armagcddon for the last 40.>rcars. But these points were subsumed to Lewis’ major concern: the saving of the lives ot children and their lamilies. “UNI(,‘EI(the United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund) is enough of‘ a justification 01 the UN” he asserted, a point well taken b\. the nodding heads 01 the audience. “1 like the UN for a simple reason. It nccer gives up. No matter what the problem it tackles, it stick5 with it.”

arresting officer, James Kaufman of campus security, acknowledged that he-was quite aware that Abdel-Ariz firmly believed that he did ha\,e a right to be there, and that Sheridan did not have the authority to order his expulsion. His notebook, which Keller read out to the courtroom, further acknowledged the olficer himself doubted Sheridan’s authoritv.

In his motion for dismissal of charges, Keller argued that on14 the occupier of a premesis ma> order someone to leave, and that the occupier of U W .is the Board of Governors, as stated in the University of Waterloo Act.

by Karen Plosz Imprint staff In a two hour debate on June 17, U W’s Senate saved the general idea of Integrated Studies, but drasticall~~ changed the old program’s structure. The name of the program was changed too, it’s now lndependent Studies. 7’he senate review committee’s report on 1s was unanimously accepted, much to the relief of some 20 IS students and others in attendance. The only amendment was the addition of one student senator to the steering committee charged with the implementation of the report. Review committee members, prot‘s. Gary Gril‘lin and Trudi Bunting, were present to defend the report. Much discussion focused on the membership of the three major committees of the new program, the retention of the nondegree phase and the appointment of the steering committee members. The membership of the three major committees evaluation, personnel and admissions) was discussed at length. The proposal in the report suggested each committee could include the academic director, and two representatives from each of the Academic Board (which supervises degrees), executive committee, and students. Because the executive committee could appoint two students as its this could result in more students than representatives, faculty on a committee. Dr. Robin Banks, Dean of Arts. proposed an amendment that would ensure a faculty majority. Dr. Greg Michalenko of the man-encironment department wanted to see the Senate report retained, because it would encourage student participation on the committees. He said, “In advising 1s students and knowing them and their achievements after schooling, 1 can see their involvement in committees has been a major part of their education.” Dean Banks’ amendment was defeated by a large
margin. The problem 01‘ the high drop out rate in IS among first year students in the non-degree phase has also discussed. According to the report. only 40’;~ 01‘the people admitted to the program stayed lorlgcr than t\bo terms. I o decrease this attrition, Griliin said he \+antctl to XC the non-degree phase eliminated and the “pre-degree”phase established, because it would in\ol\ e a commitment on the part 01 the student. Said Griffin, “it’s better to have students who come to contribute for a long period of time”. 1S acting coordinator Joe Sheridan said the difference between “pre-degree and nondegree is only one 01 semantics”. SJ,stems design professor Maurice Constant, a resource person in lS for the last three years, wanted to see the nondegree phase retained. “I think it would be useful to reinstate the non-degree portion bo it can be advertised”. He spoke of IS ah something to be proud of, and as a “community of scholars”. with growth potential for the future. However, a motion to retain, the non-degree phase was defeated. It was decided that those in the non-degree phase now would be able to continue, but they would habe the option of getting into the new “pre-degree” phase of the new program. I‘he members of the steering committee that will put the recommended changes in place are Joe Sheridan, the current acting coordinator for IS, Chris Knapper, UW’s teaching resource person, Dr. Richard Holmes of philosophy, chairman of the Academic Board, Maurice Constant, IS resource person, Dr. Trud; Bunting, representing the senate review committee, E.S. Dean Dr. Jim Bater and student senator Debbie Moore representing the Senate. In addition, two IS students, Linda 1 ranter and Mary Speis, were elected by Operations Council (IS students and staff), and made part of the steering committee.

It’s,, a MAD, !t is a mad, mad world that we live in. In this ‘civilized’ society it seems unconscionable that terrorists wield such incredible power. They are the vile side of humanity who, in their martyrdom, hold no respect for innocent others, and, in effect, cheapen human life. In the past few weeks the world has been witness to the hijacking of the TWA flight by Shiite radicals, the airport bombing in Tokyo some say is linked to the Air India crash, and the terrorist shooting of civilians and four U.S. Marines in an outdoor cafe in San Salvador. As students we often exist in our cellular communrty and from time to time react to a newscast of a terrorist act with disbelief and then minutes later put it out of our thoughts andcarry on with our lives. In the past, acts of terrorism have only indirectly affected us as students and as Canadians. Now, Canadians have been shocked that terrorism which was once limited to the Middle Eastern countries and, of course, Ireland, has now crept over the seas to deeply affect our country. Of the 329 people killed in the suspected bombing of the Air India plane last Sunday, 280 of them were Canadians. Prime Minister Mulroney defined terrorism as “the most cowardly and reprehensible act known to man”. His counterpart in the United States, Ronald Reagan, who once chastised then President Jimmy Carter for mishandling the jranian hostage crisis has showed relative inaction toward LI~t Shiite hijacking. This passive stance, which has

prolonged the stalemate, may have saved the lives of the 40 Americans who are still being held. Innocent people are both indispensible and dispensible to the Shiite extremists. The American hostages are being used as chattel in order to barter in the political and religious conflicts that have plagued Middle East factions. The world waits and watches the goings-on with breathless apprehension. Closer to home, the Air India disaster claimed the lives of over three hundred people and a few of those people were affiliated with the University of Waterloo. Dr. Tumkur, a research assistant professor has lost his two children. Dr. Sinha, of the Indian Institute of Technology, who recently visited UW and had close friends here, was also killed in the disaster. It has not yet been officially confirmed but some officials believe that the plane blew up in mid-air as the result of a bomb which was planted by two Sikh extremists. Doug Wright, UW president, stated “The fact that a plane from another country, crashing thousands of miles off the Canadian coast, could touch the lives of people on this campus so deeply, is testimony to the interdependence of all of us here on the planet Earth.” One can only react with anger, sorrow and helplessness to these acts which have wastefully claimed innocent lives and are currently holding other lives in a Catch-22 situation. It is a world I will never understand. I believe I never want to. Carol

systems’ funding was established in the public’s interest by their elected representatives, not the students. The BOG has a responsibility to the people and taxpayers who fundamentally support the system. The computer fee violates a tradition of social responsibility. UW is side-stepping its accountability to the people and the provincial government. If the university requires additional capital, that need should be addressed by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. If the government, reflecting the wishes of the people, decides that students should pay a higher portion of educational costs, then, so be it. But it is not the responsibility of university administrations to make that decision. The autonomous actions of the BOG in the assessment of the computer fee must consequently be considered delinquent, irresponsible and dangerously undemocratic. The prudence of democratic rule demands the computer fee be squashed. David

Graduate
students
urged to join OFSXFS
To the editor: The Graduate Student Association is holding a referendum during the first week of July to decide on full membership in the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) and in the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS). Wt urge all graduate students to support both OFS and CFS for a strong student voice at the
provincial and federal levels. In modern society, all significant groups organize to defend their interests and, in many cases, the wider interests of society as a whole. For example, doctors have medical associations, teachers have their associations, etc. Similarly, students need strong provincial and national organizations to promote and lobby for their interests and defend their rights. Education, particularly for graduate students, is both a provincial and federal matter. Issues such as OGS scholarships, tuition fees, differential fees for visa students, and TA working conditions are provincial considerations, However, matters such as research assistanceships, NSERC scholarships, SSHRC scholarships, and ownership of copyright to thesis work fall under the jurisdiction of the federal government. For the above reasons, as well as numerous others, two basic organizations exist. Three dollars per year for the OFS and four dollars for CFS are negligible amounts compared to the benefits that students receive and will receive. OFS has proved to be an effective and respected organization at the provincial level. Even Bovey acknowledged that the OFS submission to the ‘Bovey’ Commission was one of the most well researched, documented and extensive reports that they received. Without the intensive campaign of OFS against the proposed endless tuition hikes and reduced accessibility, the Bovey proposals could have been much worse. One should not forget that a few university administrators were proposing removal of the limits (5%) on tuition increases (so that they could charge as much as they like) and the creation of an elitist university system, It is now expected that the recommendations on tuition hikes will be . . . ‘archived’. CFS is gradually developing into an effective federal student organization. It now represents over 450,000 students and in this year’s budget it has a surplus of $8,000. It already provides many services such as TRAVEL CUTS, the Student Work Abroad Program (SWAP) and the Studentsaver discount program, and various publications such as the “Canadian Student Traveller”. OFS and CFS are also doing a lot for visa students. OFS is campaigning for elimination of differential fees and there is now hope that they will at least be reduced; CFS is lobbying the federal government for exemption of visa students from UIC (unemployment) and CPP (pension) deductions from salaries because they cannot get unemployment or pension benefits here. These are a few reasons why OFS and CFS deserve your support. Iliada Panayidtou, Board Member Nicholas Christoforou Cheryl Goiding, OGA Treasurer Scott Walter, Board member G. Friday, Board member.

Dear UW Graduate Students: On behalf of the nearly one half million members of the Canadian Federation of Students, I would like to encourage your full participation in Canada’s only national student organization. For four years, CFS has worked with students from colleges, technical institutes, graduate and undergraduate associations to improve the accesssibility to and quality of post secondary education. By merging the National Union of Students [NUS] and the Association of Student Councils (AOSC) the student movement has been able to represent student concerns to government and provide useful services to improve the quality of student life. Over

Dear UW Graduate Students: I’m writing on behalf of the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) executive committee to urge you to join with 200,000 Ontario students as full members of the OFS. Graduate students from across the province (including those at McMaster, Windsor, U of T and Western) have chosen to work together through OFS and the Ontario Graduate Association (OGA) to deal with the quality and accessibility of their education. The OGA has, since 1977, grown to become a respected research and lobby group that works through OFS to make Graduate concerns heard by the government. In the past year, for example, in addition to meeting with government officials, the OGA presented briefs to the Bovey Commission, theontario Council of University Administrators and the Canadian

Overseas periodicals help keep in touch with home by Mike Lob I was in the arts library two days ago to catch up on some news usually only available in overseas newspapers. Although Canadian papers do carry a fair amount of foreign news, one and a half pages will usually be devoted to Uncle Sam. While going through the choices available I suddenly thought of one particular weekly newsmagazine, the Far Eastern Economic Review, and voila!, .the library does subscribe to it. The Review has been in print since 1946, covering social, political, and financial matters of all countries stretching from India to Japan in relative detail. !: pays special attention to the Southeast Asian region. Naturally, I was delighted. I spent almost five hours going through the weekly issues hungrily looking for anything that focused on my homeland, Malaysia, and there was tons of material. So far I’ve covered everything significant that happened at home since early November last year, and I feel good. It’s a pain living ‘in the dark. so to speak, being deprived of the issues and their developments that I came to know so well before I came over here. Now, the economic policies are clear, my knowledge of the social changes and political climate is refreshed, and they even included a section detailing my hometown’s latest expansion and development plans. It gives me excitement, a renewed motivation to finish my studies here and return home to join the vibrant life. Quiet as it seems from over here, Southeast Asia is teeming with development plans and the activity in the economic upsurge is continuing to dominate the region’s affairs, as in all other developing nations. However, Southeast Asia is unique in that its economic emergence is a concerted effort involving all the nations of the region, each reaching its tentacles into the increasingly competitive world while, as a whole, they help each other with the necessary support and cooperation. Then there are the fast changing social norms of their individual lands, that are reaching a state of maturity, which will define the eventual character of our societies. There is much to be done, many more plans to draw while keeping the on-going ones alive. It’s not easy building a country, catching up with the rest of the world, but we are doing just fine, thank you. As a last word, those of you from Southeast Asia who are deprived of home-made news that your mum doesn’t care to mention in letters, the Review is stacked on the third floor, latest issues at the reserves, call number HC 411 .F18. ’

Chairperson,
Association of Graduate Studies. The presentations dealt with graduate pay, the 10 hour work week, graduate scholarships and other issues. I’m confident that the current political situation in Ontario gives students a real chance to get results on our concerns. The OGA will be active in tackling graduate issues such as improvements in the Ontario Graduate Scholarship and pressing for the abolition of differential fees for international students. I hope to have the chance to work with Waterloo graduate students next year. Please be sure to vote. Bernard Drainville Chairperson Ontario Federation of Students
and desertification
To the editor: There is a singed halo of death around my office. 1 work in one of those new portable buildings on campus. Recently, as part of the pre-convocation cosmetic crusade (the war on unsightly blemishes with herbicides), my building was surrounded by those folks with the tanks on their backs. They sprayed their nectar of death on the grass all around my portable. Now, as the brown band rots, the irony slowly emerges. A recent rainstorm began the process of which the corn rarmers in this province are so fond. Its beginnings are humble but the end result is awesome, Mud puddles and little erosion gullies appeared overnight. It may take a few years, but without the thick grassy cover up against the edge of my portable, and its masterful ability to cushion the soil from the erosive effect of rainsdrops, the outcome is predictable. The cumulative effect of many rainstorms will send my portable sliding on a carpet of mud off towards the horizon. We are fond of complaining that the inability of the “Third World” to manage things responsibly is inflicting desertification and global deforestation on us all. Furthermore, we most readily prescribe export of our technology as the solution. Though the story of my office seems almost trivial, it serves to remind us of two things. Firstly, the-environmental ignorance is ours (in the developed nations) to share. Secondly, exporting our perceptions of management may be totally inappropriate, for if

To the editor: Imprint can only be embarassed by its article in the June 14th issue entitled “Enginews clean up time” after viewing the first issue of Enginews. Engincws is by no means satirical genius. Indeed it is crude and, by viewing the recent issue, it is certain to remain as the sexist trash it has been. The new women (oops) - the new editors - have changed the paper in no conclusive way. One article, an attempt to attack computer fees, is a crude example of Enginews humour. In addition, they are simply continuing the attempts to make Engineering students appear as irresponsible, immoral individuals, I, for one, am disappointed that they have claimed to clean up the paper. Instead, they should expose their real intentions, and save us the bother of reading Enginews. Perhaps the professionalism of Waterloo’s engineers will yet prevail over isolated irresponsibility.

Roles for women are changing by Anew

which recently won acclaim for its health programs, provides free medical care, prenatal care and limited child care to all of Nicaragua’s citizens. University enrollment is presently 45% female which, in spite of the war, is surprising because in 1979 half the female population was illiterate. Women are also involved in the industrial and military aspects of Nicaraguan life. Like other war-torn countries Nicaragua has shifted its female population into active working roles, replacing men who fight at the front.

Nicaraguan women are playing a central role in transforming their society, said Dr. Vilma Nunez De Escorcia, vice-president, of the Supreme Court of Nicaragua. Dr. De Escorcia addressed an audience of 100 on June 13 at an event organized by the St. Jerome’s Centre for Catholic Experience. Although the scheduled topic was “Women and the Nicaraguan Bevolution”,-Dr. De Escorcia spent the first halfhour reacting to the news the Contras (right-wing rebels trying to overthrow the elected Nicaraguan government)
Examples cited show the Nicaraguan advancement in women’s rights to be ahead of most Western nations. One quarter of the members of the Sandinista government are women, including several cabinet ministers. Females account for 30% of the guerilla fighters and the majority of the civil defence. Nicaragua also boasts the first female chief of a national police force.
The first portion of the lecture was a statistical attack on American policy. Dr. De Escorcia stated that a “consistent systematic attack” on Nicaragua was part of President Reagan’s election platform and that his government planned a “systematic destruction of the means of production” using a “low type of propaganda in the [American] mass media.” Her words, though eloquent, were mostly wasted because her audience was almost entirely supportive of the Sandinista government. Those to whom she spoke like Reagan’s policies no more than she does. Literacy

Dr. De Escorcia was realistic about such radical advances for women saying, “women themselves must learn what roles they are able and expected to play in our society.” Although Dr. De Escorcia was visibly distressed, she took care to assert that “not everything is pessimism in Nicaragua”. She said she felt an “international solidarity’ in Canada which she had never known previously. She concluded “what we really would like to do is avoid a war . . . our main aim is peace”.

What would you think if Mulroney ran Canada like his .personal kingdom -- owning 40 to 50% of its industry and its land and having Reagan’s support in doing so? How would we feel toward the Americans? That did indeed happen (in Nicaragua) right up until 1979. of St. Jerome’s Men’s Alfmdo Rmnano - director Residence. How would the people in Barrie feel if all the money that had been raised across Canada (for the tornado victims) went into Mulroney’s pockets and not a nickel of it went into Barrie? And what was done with it?...(Much of it went) to the United States...How would you feel and how would the people in Barrie feel? Dou@asLelxwnEnglish Professor, St. Jerome’s College. In 1972 an earthquake devastated Managua, Nicaragua’s capital, killing or maiming some 100,000 persons. Much, ifnot all, of the international assistance to Nicaragua was added to President Anatasio Somoza’s bank account and never got any further than that. Numerous anecdotes about the country’s pre-1979 history of torture and gross corruption under the Somoza regime can be told by Dr. Douglas Letson and Alfred0 Bomano, of St. Jerome’s College. They are the two most recent UW visitors to return from Nicaragua. They left Canada on May 8, at the beginning of the U.S. trade embargo of Nicaragua, and returned to Canada on May 15. They had been invited to Nicaragua by Ernesto Cardenal, Minister of Culture for the current Sandinista regime. Letson and Romano had interviewed the scholar/politician for Gamut (a theological journal) a year earlier on campus and Cardenal had invited them to see for themselves just how his most important book, Gospel 0% Solentiname was being put into practice by the new revolutionary government. The December issue of Grail: An Ecumenical Jolornal will highlight their recent research. Although a fairly rigid schedule had been arranged for them by government officials, “we sort of stumbled around on our own,” says Romano. “I think that had

is
more legitimacy than a planned itinerary,” he concludes. Dr. Letson has previously taught summer courses “The Just Society” and “The Gospel of Liberation” - on Nicaraguan revolution at St. Jerome’s College. Says Letson, “I was all set to be jaded somewhat by reality” upon arrival in Managua. He expected that what he saw w.ould “cause a certain amount of skepticism about the revolution and about the way things were developing there.”
For the most part, both he and Roman0 were impressed with the Sandinista efforts to make the best of a marginal economy. They interviewed prominent government leaders such as Vice President Sergio Ramirez and Fernando Cardenal, Minister of Education. No one ever attempted “to ram anything down our tl&oats.” They found state officials and taxi drivers alike to be open and candid in discussing their country’s present and its future. Bomano feels that “in Latin societies, propaganda is a way of life.” Letson concurs. In Nicaragua, there is “no pretense of objectivity and there is a certain danger in speaking out - whether you’re on the left of the right.” Canadian forms of propaganda are much more subtle and thus more dangerous than their Nicaraguan counterparts, concludes Bomano.

Cardenal is under attack (by conservative elements within the Church&id is willing to give up his status as a Jesuit, which is what he has devoted his life to, is that he sees the Christian ideal living in the Nicaraguan revolution. I don’t see how you can see it in any way as an atheistic Marxist development,” says Letson.
The theologian and the acadetic both have unmasked ideologies which lead the poor to accept oppressive teachings. Even Canadian bishops end up being labelled ‘Marxists. A concrete example of innovative theology at work is the relative absence of parish churches in Managua. Letson and Roman0 worshipped at an upper-middle class church and a church in a poor barrio. They noted only a few other churches on the map. “You don’t see churches because people celebrate their religion in base communities; that is, they meet in people’s houses with the priest and in these houses they share their religion.” Latin America is famous for its so-called liberation theolo@.

In the peculiarly Latin American context of state universities -- which allowed students, faculty, and professional groups to be the principal rulers of the university - this institution tended to become a parallel power in politics. Until the 1964 military takeover in Brazil began to erode this power, the university was free to use intellectual tools for unmasking ideologies which led the poor to accept distorted and oppressive teachings about their existence.
Letson argues that the Nicaraguans want a new society which is appropriate to their culture. He criticizes North Americans whose bias prevents them from conceiving of something which is neither communist nor capitalist. “We have to be ready to think that it may be possible for there to be a third way”. He points out that the Nicaraguans have not “comrnunized” fashion. A very the land. “Some is held in communal large percentage is land owned by private individuals. From the point of view of the Nicaraguans it’s a matter of There is no clear sign of an overall efficiency. communistic design on the structure of Nicaragua.” Letson and Roman0 have no doubt that the Nicaraguan revolution is the first Christian revolution. Letson notes that there are three priests in the Cabinet, five priests active in Government structures, and others who are working in the civil service. “The reason that Ernest0
Christian students could do notbing but include theology -- the understanding of their faith - in their ideological outlook on society at large, but uneducated people did not have the tools which the students could so readily use. It was assumed that the first theology of liberation would eventually reach the slums but peasants who had previously looked forward to a better life in heaven soon heard in Basic Christian Communities the words of Leonardo Boff and others who asked themselves, “Who evangelizes the theologian? The faith witnessed by faithful people, their capacity to introduce God in all their struggling...” In this context, Letson criticizes the Roman Catholic Church for being hierarchical, traditional, and European. “When it comes to liberation theology, the Latin Americans have indicated that they have been colonized” He adds that Canada’s Roman Catholic bishops were called Marxists for their 1983 statement on the economy. “The same kinds of social stimuli which generate the Canadian document are at work in the generation of the new social structure in Central America.“’

Nicaragua will * "endure" says Consul Gen. by Jrohn
weber
Since the late 1800s the United States has imposed its will ou Micaragua. American troops iuterveued k Nicaragua in 1909, 1912-1985 and 1986-1933. In 1933 the American marines left Nicaragua, but uot before establishing the Mational Guard. Aamstasio Somosra Garcia aud his National Guard overthrew the civilian gwernmeut in 1936 armd so began ’ the 43 year reign of the Somozas. Because of the repression exercised by the Somozas aud their National Guard, as well as the widespread overty in. Micaragua, there was a popular upri&g in the summer of 1979. The Somoza aynasty ended, and the SaudkMas formed the uew government of Micaragua* The following is an interview with Pastor Valle-Garay, who is icaragaa'S Consul General fn Toronto.
Imprint: President Reagan described the Contras (U.S. supported rebels) as a shield for Nicaragua’s democratic neighbours and said they were the best hope for democracy in Nicaragua.
“Reagan doesn’t know anything about Central America, and even less about the Contras. They’re nothing but thugs.” Reagan doesn’t know Pastor Valle-Garay: anything about Central America and even less about the Contras. He has engaged a number of former officials of Somoza’s National Guard., thousands of former National Guardsmen who are considered the most criminal element in Latin
America. They are responsible for the deaths of about 9,000 Nicaraguan civilians in the last four Years and for the deaths of about 200,000 Nic=w’uans in the last 20 years. If Reagan calls them freedom fighters or his brothers, that’s his choice of friends, But they’re a threat to the peace and security of Nicaragua - they’re nothing but thugs and criminals. The people of Nicaragua will never accept the Contras as the rulers of Nicaragua. I: What about U.S. bases and other activity in neighbouring Honduras? P.V.G.: It’s been fully invaded by the U.S. and doesn’t even realize it. The U.S. has set up nine airbases. They maintain 10,000 - 15,000U.S. troops on permanent operations there. The government of Honduras isn’t run by the Honduran President, it’s run by the U.S. Ambassador to Honduras. Honduras is in the very pathetic situation of being run by a foreign country. I: Why did the US. use the trade embargo against Nicaragua and what can they hope to gain from it? P.V.G.: The intentions of Reagan concerning the embargo are criminal. It’s an attempt to starve the people of Nicaragua on the allegations that the Nicaraguan Government is Marxist when in fact I’ve never seen a Marxist government that has three ministers ‘of state who are Boman Catholic priests. Here’s a man who is causing death among infants because of the embargo. We have medical equipment which has broken down - the parts are American and we can’t get the parts to run the machines after they have broken down. I: How long can Nicaragua endure this onslaught? P.V.G.: We can endure it. We have enduredwars and put up with the Somozas for 43 years and eventually got rid of them. We have put up with the U.S. for almost 80 vears and we’ve been able to kick them out of the c&ntry.
“Endura&e is our strong point, and we are not alone. Many other countries, including Canada, are helping? Endurance is our strong point. More importantly, we are not alone - rna?y countries (Latin American countries, Socialist countries, Canada and Western Europe) are prepared to help and support us with loans. We have the right to survive as an independent nation and we have support from many nations of the world, including the closest allies of the U.S. I: The U.S. says that Nicaragua has a Marxist, totalitarian government. P.V.G.: The president of the U.S. is making a lot of anti-Nicaraguan propaganda which is, in effect, trying to use terrorist tactics against the U.S. people who have an almost built-in paranoia about the USSR and about anything that even smells of socialism. To suggest that Nicaragua has a Marxist government is absolutely asinine and it shows very clearly the degree of ignorance of Mr. Reagan.
“To suggest that ZiHcaragua has a Marxist government is absolutely asinine and it shows very clearly the degree of Unorance of Mr. Reagan? We have fewer Marxists in our nation than the U.S. has in the U.S. There are Marxists in the Nicaraguan government just as Canada has a Communist Party. We have a pluralistic society where we have a Marxist party, and we also have an ultra-conservative party plus everything in between. The most important thing is that there are three Bornan Catholic priests in the Cabinet. In the history of socialism, and even in the history of the U.S., I have never heard that any government would place in such high positions three Roman Catholic priests. I: You did have elections last year. P.V.G.: The elections were supervised by international law people. Some of the methodology of the elections came from the Scandanavian countries that helped us in creating the electoral college. In the elections 32% of the people voted for the opposition parties while 66%. voted for the sandinistas. There is representation of the six other parties in the Nicaraguan Congress. No socialist country or Marxist country has a Congress where there are

“In last year’s election the six opposition parties received 32% of the vote, the SandinMa received 66%. All seven parties have representation in the Congress. No Socialist or Marxist country has seven politcal parties and three cabinet ministers who are Roman Catholic PriesUP P.V.G.: The only reason is that Nicaragua, in a velry small way, has challenged America’s supremacy in this hemisphere. The U.S. cannot stand anyone to challenge its supremacy, particularly when the U.S. policies, not only in Latin America, but in Europe, are being openly questioned by the people. I’m talking about the policies of nuclear development that have the entire world very frightened. So when a country like Nicaragua, in the process of rebuilding itself after a war that caused so much devastation, decides to implement policies that will assure the nation of the right to be independent, that will break somewhat the traditional ties that kept us attached to the U.S. and when that country goes ahead and implements these policies in an area that the U.S. has traditionally considered its sphere of influence (those are the words that Mr. Reagan uses, not us) an area where they have literally run countries and people as though they were their slaves - then it presents a very serious ‘challenge to the American position. If Nicaragua can do it and get away with it, what is there to stop other countries in Central America or Latin America from doing the same thing (from creating and enacting policies that will be independent of the U.S.)? That is something the U.S. government cannot cope with and cannot understand. The only way that they can respond is by destroying Nicaragua and in that way theywill send a message to other countries that may have the same ideas as the Nicaraguan model: if they decide to go it alone, if they decide to become a little more nationalistic and a little more independent from the U.S., they had better be prepared to be attacked with all the might of the U.S., both politically and militarily, and that is the crux of the matter.

He has no sense of consensus and doesn’t believe in consensus politics; he believes in strong arm politics; might is right.” The students, who come to 1.S. for its independent and interdisciplinary studies aspects also tend to feel that they are, in some material way, ‘the program’, and want to participate in the decisions affecting their education.

Sheridan “thinks that student involvement is the root of the problem,” said Tranter. Committee The Steering tabled a proposal to establish a n academic discipline committee made by Associate Dean of Arts, Gary Griffin, who has been appointed Dean of Integrated Studies. The Steering Committee felt it was not a priority, said Tranter. Prof. Griffin is out of town at press time, but Tranter, who spoke with him before he left, said Prof. Griffin has received reports from Mr. Sheridan about alledged incidents of harassment. In a memo Prof. .. Grtftrn said “it may be necessary to initiate formal procedures to protect the rights of all involved parties.” Sheridan told the Steering Committee that he was being “harassed” by students and could not continue without disciplinary authority. Sheridan refused to name the individuals allegedly harassing him, but when Tranter asked him if she were one of them, he “turned red and said no more” according to a committee
half the registered students in 1,s. gathered to discuss priorities for the Steering Committee meeting. It was the largest gathering of 1.S. students this term. 1 ranter said that the Senate approval of the Review Committee’s Report, and the existence of the Steering Committee into which they have input has “breathed new life” into the program. “For a long time,” she said, “students just didn’t show up here. The atmosphere was so sterile and Joe was downright hostile.” She said the change in atmosphere has resulted in much more student activity, and she looks forward to the Fall term with optimism.
Tranter told the Committee that the furniture aquisitions so far had been made without any student consultation, and in fact did not meet the criteria students indicated were required. Mr. Sheridan was told to spend no more, and the budget was frozen until the budget committee can present recommendations. On Monday, June 24, over

Suzanne Blais-Crrenier, Canada’s Minister of the Environment, is definitel;y someone letters should be addressed to, because of he1 “intransrgence on the issue of Meares Island”, Gourlayr said. A support grouri called Friends of Clayoquot Sound has been established in Ontario recently. Gourlay sees this as important, because this issue,L is of concern to all Canada. He described how some 40 forestr>a contracts had been issued by the prevrous provincial government in Ontario somcw hat indiscriminately, without investrgatmg the companies, their logging practices and thinking of how it will effect the environment. T he T oronto chapter of the Green Party, has endorsed this project to stop the logging of Meares Island through peaceful non-violent means. through letter writing campaigns and petitions. It is actrng as contact and coordinator for this project.
Gourlay spoke sympathetically of the fundamental difference between the Indians and those from a European background, who tend to see iand and natural resources in terms of money. “The Indian’s spiritual connection is to the land. The wsay of life is the land.” He spoke of Meares Island as a “tribal park”, which he admitted was an undefined concept. Most importantly “an economic value cannot be placed on it. I here is no necessity for them (the Indians) to makemonev. If Meares Island is taken away from them, they can’t live their lifestyle; it won’t be an Indian way of life”. 1s this denial of property rights, Gourlay questioned, a way of pulling lndians into our system? “Should the charges be made after the fact?” asked Gourlay.

numerous stumps and severe soil erosion. On Meares Island, some of the largest and oldest trees in Canada are being threatened. According to Gourlay, the island is part of a small percentage of first growth forests (areas that have not been reforested) left in B.C. Similarly, the tourist industry, that sees thousands of visitors annually pass through the nearby Pacific Rim National Park, would be hurt by the elimination of the last unlogged island remaining in the park. Because of clear-cutting in other parts of B.C. Gourlay said, “the salmon beds are definitely in trouble,” not to mention the danger posed to marine life and wildlife. The unthinking use of biocides by industry contaminates streams, wildlife and mariculture. In addition, clear-cutting would contaminate the water supply for the nearby towns of Tofina and Opisaht. “Meares Island is a heritage to all Canadians. It is a public resource; the companies do not own it,” said Gourlay. Macmillan Bloedel is guilty of “bad faith bargaining. They are not acting in the public interest”. Macmillan Bloedel has refused to compromise on the logging of Meares Island, or endorse multiple USCoptions, even after meeting with government officials and environmentalists in 1982. He continues, “The government has shown itself willing to fall over itself to give contracts to forestry companies”. In this sense, Canada is a Third World country. It allows companies to clear-cut places like Meares lsland -~ to “Cut and Run” - as Gourlay said. These companies then take their profits and invest outside the country.
by Karen Plosz Imprint staff Because British Columbia’s Meares Island is both a”triba1 park” and an “ecological marvel”, it should be preserved, says Laurie Gourlay, a West Coast writer and ecologist. He addressed a crowd of 40 on Wednesday June 26, in an event sponsored by the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group. Gourlav, a UW Environmental Studies graduate, has written a book on West Coast environmental issues, and is involved with the Green party in Toronto. The 6800 hectare Meares Island is located off Vancouver Island’s west coast. Macmillan Bloedel, a logging company owned by Noranda, wants to “clear-cut” the timber on Meares Island which is estimated to be worth $25 million. Gourlay delivered a structured talk on the issue, aided by slides and a CBC recording. He concentrated on how the logging would threaten groups and resources, and due to limited time, gave a quick background in the dispute between Macmillan Bloedei, the Indian groups and the environmentalists. “The issue is an environmental and a human rights issue,” said Gourlay, and a crucial one now in B.C. The B.C. Appeal Court recently granted the Indian tribes who inhabit Meares Island, the Clayoquots and Ahousats, an injunction against the logging of Meares lsla .nd until their land claim is heard in the Supreme Court of Canada this November. The problem is the lndians have “not been able to prove to the courts they have occupied the land”, and that they have property rights, says Gourlay. 1t is hoped archaeological information from a 3,000 year old mall will give them proof they need.

The steering committee. committee, which is now the senior governing body of the program whose name has been changed from Integrated to Independent Studies, held its first meeting Tuesday, during which it set the wheels in motion to appoint an acting Academic Director as soon as possible.

John’s strong jazz overtones are felt, which -gives the band’s foundation its distinctive force and energy. With both brothers influced by jazz structures and theories plus the modern music tonality, No Means No was conceived and reached maturity with the addition of lead vocalist guitarist Andy. ‘.Anl!y joined us with a good attitude, respect and vibrant spontaneity. Itwas easy to incorporate him into the band,“said Rob. “In 1976, we got caught up in the Punk thing. John and I listend to the Sex Pistols, The Clash and early Jam, the ultimate hard-core of its era. We were pure hardcore and liked it, but now .we’re exploring, because the band has a smattering of “everymusic”, from Hendrix to the jazz masters.” No Means No just finished five successful Montreal dates, and did an exhi!arating 90 minutes with Augusta Lepei on CBC Stereo’s all-night alternative arts potpourri, Brave New Waves. “Montreal and Augusta were a great time, and we’re really enjoying this tour,” said John, who just discovered they had fare to the next destination via The Back Door gig. “We liked this gig, because the crowd was appreciative and somewhat familiar with our music”, he said.

It’s so boring, so conventional, and it’s filled with bureaucrats, pseudo-British pompous types, and tourist traps. This ambitious three man unit has escaped .Western tourist traps to cover the rest of Canada with their breakneck sound, lyrical insight and stage presence which grabs and pulls you into its exciting and unpredictable sphere. With an EP and one fine album, Mama, to their credit, No Means No have another album due for release in July. Thanks to the ingenuity of Grooving Nostrils, No Means No visited Kitchener last Saturday and the Back Door was treated to an adventurous sampling of this trio’s latest material. The band posesses one intriguing characteristic, for No Means No appearances are deceiving. These boys look like innocent, clean-cut no-nonsense types. They rant about Three Guys Named Bob, yet there’s not a trace of a Bob in the band. Tee-shirt Bob is a Howdy-Doody mascot grinning away as he cheerfully hangs himself. He wears a teeshirt inscribed “You Kill Me” It makes the mind boggle, and No Means No, may ‘kill’ with onstage wiles, but they’ll never hang for it. Shades of Devo, deja-vu?

Rob-and John ‘No’ started as a high-school band with a four tack recording system plus four man overdubbing technical know how. Being brothers “for most of their lives”, John was weaned on keyboards and Rob on lead guitar. Rob then graduated from six-string to four, retaining his lead guitar riffs and transforming them eventually to his bass technique.

Is that so?” he paused and grinned, as he likely saw a momentary vision of Hendrix flailing guitar fire.

by Pete Newell Imprint staff The Frederick Mall Twin Cinema is actually one of the nicer theaters in town. It doesn’t often get blockbusters, but it doesn’t usually play trash (notable exception: it does get the occasional Ninja flick), and it is almost never crowded. The reasons for this are probably a) it doesn’t get blockbusters, and b) it’s the only theatre in town that isn’t on or near King St. Hands up, all of you who have taken a bus other than no. 7 this term. Exactly. Bus no. 8 (heading east on University) does eventually get there, and it’s worth the effort at the moment. Prizzi’s Honor and D.A.R.Y.L. are both worth seeing, for completely different reasons. Prizzi’s Honor is a black comedy gangster flick starring Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner-(of Romancing the Stone). Nicholson plays Charlie Partanna, an enforcer for the Prizzi family, and the godson of the Don; while Turner is Irene, a Californian freelance assassin hired briefly by the Prizzis. Charlie and Irene fall in love (mutual interests) and eventually marry. This leads to problems when her interests clash with the Prizzi’s and Charlie is caught in the middle. This is not an action flick, with a few brief exceptions. It isn’t a pretty film, either: none of the people are at all nice (forget all about Romancing the Stone). What makes Prizzi’s Honor worthwhile is that it is extremely funny in a !ow key, subtle way, mostly due to Nicholson’s deadpan delivery of completely incongruous lines (Charlie may not have a sense of humour, but Jack Nicholson surely does). William Hickey also does a wonderful job as Don Corrado, who isn’t nearly as decrepit as he likes to appear. There are a lot of layers to this picture --,it will bear sitting through more than once. In contrast to this is D.A.R.Y.L., which by all rights should be yet another cute-little-kid-genius-outsmarts-the-nastyadults piece of trash, but somehow it isn’t. I usually can’t stand kid movies - Drew Barrymore makes me sick, and I wou’!d take Calculus again before I’d go to see Goonies (shudder). But somehow Barret Oliver (as our hero) pulls this

maul and vultures pick his bones.” Antigone, placing her conscience, couched as “divine law”, before Creon’s interdict, buries her brother’s body. She is callght and sentenced by Creon to be buried alive. The remainder of the play consists of a series of warnings to Creon that he is bringing doom to himself. The first comes from a comic messenger (Keith Thomas) - a difficult role to find tone for -- and proceeds through ever more serious warnings from Creon’s son Haemon (Donald Adams) and finally from the blind prophet Tiresias himself (played by the Stratford “vet” of the play, William Needles).
This is the lesson Creon (Kevin McNulty), usurper of the throne of Thebes, murderer of Antigone, was to learn through severe tragedy: one of many lessons on everything from love, filial devotion versus loyalty to the state to true wisdom which Sophocles has left us from the fifth century B.C. And, as Montaigne’s words demonstrate, Sophocles’ insights into “human nature” are not limited to his period. A mind open to change is likely even more valuable in the electronic age than in ancient Greece.
All in all, the play was well-performed. Director David William, and some of the actors, must have taken Sophocle’s lesson in humility to heart. I was well-entertained by this “absurd” version of the ancient tragedy, noting exceptional performances for the young actors Thomas, Ted Dykstra (second messenger) and Adams. An exception to these exceptionals was McNulty’s Creon. The Creon of Sophocles’ poetry was a man of wisdom who succumbed to his pride, stubbornly refusing to repent in the face of popular opinion. McNulty failed to capture these qualities.
The play opens with Antigone (Gwynyth ,Walsh), a daughter of the infamous Oedipus, attempting to persuade her fearful sister Ismene (Janet McDonald) to help her bury her brother Polyneices in opposition to an interdict from Creon. Polyneices was killed attempting to invade his late father’s city of Thebes by his own brother, Eteocles, who dies in the same fight. In the aftermath of the battle, Creon orders Eteocles buried with full honours, while Polyneices’ body is to be left unburied and unmourned, “all ghastly where he fell, a corpse for the dogs to
However, one bad depiction does not a tragedy unmake. Director William made a wise choice when he restyled the play into the Dada’s “Theatre of the Absurd”: the chorus of elders were robed in the traditional Greek frocks in juxtaposition to the Prussian dress uniform of Creon, the Israeli khakis and Palestinian red scarves of the sentries and the Marine fatigues and putties of the messengers. The effect of this potpourri of attire was to bring out the apparent timelessness of Sophocles’ themes.

by Mathew Ingram Imprint staff The second Northwind Folk Festival in three years, while marred slightly by torrential downpours and low attendance, nevertheless provided an eclectic and enjoyable mix of some of the best new and old music talent going these days. The festival, held on the Toronto Islands June 2123, featured a broad range of music-al styles and influences, . from the steadfastly traditional to the more contemporary and slightly bizarre. The heavy rains accompanied by high winds on Saturday the Znd, had a noticeable effect on attendance, as did the fact that a number of other musical and cultural events were taking place in Toronto at the same time. Yet those who did attend - estimated at 5,000 by one organizer - appeared to be more than satisfied by the performers and the venue itself. There were a number of workshops on five different stages taking place from lo:30 amy until 5:00 pm., followed by eight successive half-hour

A children’s play area was provided, as well as several workshops expressly geared towards the young and the young at heart, and there were kite contests and things of that nature throughout the weekend. The craft tent contained more than 20 different displays over the course of the weekend, from the usual jewelry and handicrafts to clothing made in Guatamala and Bali, pottery, hammocks, and homemade mandolins. The food area was shared between the FreeTimesCafe, Chiles, Black River Juices, and Gordon W.‘s East Indian specialties, while the craft tent had a counter selling coffees, teas, croissant sandwiches and beer. Holding up the traditional end of the musical spectrum were Boys of the Lough, Celtique, Walt Michael and Co., and the Latin rhythms of Sabia.

Two guys and a girl, they play acoustic guitars and banjos and wear Ray-Bans and black berets, and litter their speech with cries of “dig” and “cool”. Also in a class by themselves were such performers as Heather Bishop, Vancouver’s Bob Carpenter, Brent Titcomb, Ian Tamblyn, David Sereda, and Greg Brown, an Iowa native whose songs have been recorded by Willie Nelson and Santana, among others. One performer who stood out in particular as being completely unique was a certain David Massengill, playing insightful and poignant songs, one of which was written for the B-52’s (but never recorded, he says wistfully), in a sparse and captivating style on the threestring dulcimer. In a more contemporary vein, Queen Street’s veteran performers Scott Merritt, Jane Siberry, and Joe Hall and the Drift were aided and abetted by New York newcomer Suzanne Vega (playing the El Mocombo July 4th). Joe Hall, a man one would be convinced was a rubby if not for his talent, sang songs about the apocalypse and boredom and everything in between. Scott Merritt, newly signed to a six-album contract with Jane Siberry’s label, Duke Street Records, played his own captivatins blend of folk, reggae,and electronic rhythms. Jane Siberry played favourites such as Mimi On The Beach, Symmetry and others from her two albums, and also showcased a few new and similarly unique songs from an imminent album. Suzanne Vega, a waiflike performer from New York’s Upper West Side, played haunting songs with
The band is quite talented. They faithfully and skilfully played the old classics like Satin Doll and Don’t Get Around Much Anymore. They even resortedto a drum solo(Glenn Miller goes Van Halen).

Usually they put on a concert that sparks the interest of new fans and rekindles the memories of others, bu t when they played at Centre in the Square everyone’s pacemaker got a good rest.

What makes the realm of - Idesign so fascinating is the quality of the finished piece in terms of composition as well as choice of medium and execution. Just as marble alone does not ensure good architecture, or silk good clothing; current jewelry does not rely solely on material worth. The traditional marks of craftsmanship and precious materials alone can .now be challenged by innovative design and combination of materials. A number of small galleries in the downtown Toronto

The event was marked by international guest speakers as well as the various exhibitions.

Farce on university life takes characters to Twilight Zone by Mike
Upmalis
An assistant English professor with a more than passing interest in an undergrad? The chairman of the department as a collector of photographs (nudge, nudge, wink, wink,, say no more)? Another professor, wife of the chairman, who believes that marital discord begins at another’s home? Is Waterloo coming apart at the seams? Waterloo is fine, but the mythical university,’ where the farce 72 Under the 0, by Allan Stratton, takes place, is
a cauldron of seething emotions and sexuality that leaves the characters in knots and the audience in stitches.
moving in, and out walks any semblance of a normal evening. During the evening, a distraught husband, a twisted insurance salesman, a student with more connections than John DeLorean, and others conspire in the grand manner of farce to take all into the Twilight Zone.
72 Under the 0 is a production of Upstage Productions and is presented by the Creative Arts Board. It will be playing July 24 to 27th at the Theatre of the Arts. David Pearce, an up and coming professor, is at home entertaining one of his students (one of the world’s more desirable, and profoundly worst, poets). In walks the wife of the chairman of the department, who has just announced that she is

The display titled “Uncommon Objects” at the Cafe Gallery offered some comic relief to an intensive collection of finery. Serpentlike papier-mache pieces and party favour jewelry added a surprising refreshing yet touch of humour. These pieces, as well as many others exhibited during the convention, stretch beyond the traditional limits of jewelry and enter into the experimental ever-changing realm of art.
media jewelry (Crafts Gallery). The collar, a combination of cord, aluminum, silk thread, sterling and copper, verged on the current term “artwear” used in innovative clothing circles. Interestingly enough, the joinery is also incorporated into the design of the piece instead of utilizing traditional invisible methods of casting and soldering.
in rehersals.
As an interesting sidelight, illicit substances and firearms have become an issue in Waterloo productions. A previous Drama productibn of Fishing got busted over bags of green leaves, firearms, and dead chickens. To avoid that hassles for this show, Security was contacted to advise them of the use of green leaves and firearms (no dead chickens this time). This was not sufficient however: Security “thinks it better” to bring in the actual substances rather than to take anyone’s word for their legitimacy.

Swimming -“I
The spring term at the pool got underway on May 6 - with a workshop for the 19 lifeguards and instructors. Since then, the pool has been busy with swimming lessons, diving, lifesaving programs (Bronze and Bronze Cross), Aquafitness, innertube waterpolo games, Outers Club, kayak practice, and many special- bookings from the Kitchener-Waterloo community. The NLS, Bronze Medallion, and Bronze Cross recerts went off well with all candidates passing the strenuous requirements. The pool is used by about 11,000 people a week during its four weekday fitness swims and its 2-4 p.m. weekend swims. A new handicap lift should be installed shortly in the shallow end. This was sponsored by the Engineering Class of 1985. Campus Recreation is now accepting applications for Aquatic coordinators for the Winter 1986. The pool will be closed on -August 9 until September for maintenance. If you or your organization is interested in booking the pool, Sally Kemp would be happy to talk to you. Her extension is 3533.

The summer league has been progressing quite successfully despite an injury that eliminated one of our enthusiastic players tar the remainder of the season. This has not put a damper on any spirit or enthusiasm that rings throughout gyms 1 and 2 every Thursday night at 7:00 and 8:OO. Spectators are most welcome to come out ar i! cheer our 4 teams to victory. The best thing about coming out on the l‘hursday nights is that you get to see every girl’ in the league play these skillful and memorable games. T earns like The Pink Flamingoes, The Scramble Squad, The Math Dribblers, or believe it or not, Meat Loaf Again, are hardly teams that a keen basketball fan would want to miss. So come out and cheer them on!! The enthusiasm and diehard loyalty to Thursday nights on the part of the girls has been great. Keep it up! Playoffs are on T!-ursdav July 4. Good luck girls!
