The increase in student feerevenue can be attributed to a direct increase in federation fees. Last year, each Fed member paid $12.50 per term. This year that figure is $13.75 per term. Net expenditures are monies spent above and beyond the revenue generated in each of the Federation de,partments andaboards. For example, last year, under the Board of Entertainment, $116,749 was spent on concerts.

- the approval of a new Federation legal expenditure policy. - the submission of the final report of the Ombudsman Review Committee. - the decision to investigate the feasibility of establishing a Fed Hall identification card. The card would be the only acceptable means of identification and without it patrons would be denied entrance. - the announcement by Willie Grove that three new clubs on campus -- the Student Alumni, Vietnamese Students, and the Young Liberals -- have received Federation support status. - the announcement by lan,Mitchell, chairman of the Committee on Mandatory Computer Fees, of the following action to be taken on the computer fees: the distribution of flyers with coupons to J.T. Eyton, Chairman of the UW Board of Governors and Gregory Sorbara, Minsiter of Colleges and Universities; the mailing of letters to the UW Senate and Board of Governors expressing students’ dissatisfaction; and the planning of a student demonstration against computer fees and university. underfunding.

Homecoming=starting a tradition working with the Federation of Students, therefore Fed-Hall is having the Nylons perform the opening day of Homecoming weekend. Also at Fed Hall is the Naismith Pub, and a brunch on Sunday. Not only is the student involvement a change, but so is the sporting event that Homecoming centres around. In the past, Homecoming occured during the football season. Due to the lack of popularity of football at UW, Nadon and the committee decided to go with basketball this year and as a result Homecoming will take place during the Naismith Classic basketball tournament.

The main problem with U W’S Homecoming is a lack of tradition. In a sense, “the only tradition that U W has is basketball,” said Chuck Chrapko, the Homecoming student chair‘man. U W is still a young university, especially compared to universities like McGill that have been around for about 180 years, or Queen’s with its longstanding tradition. By having undergraduates involved with Homecoming, a hopeful ‘side-effect’ might be that they wo%ld come back to UW once they’re graduated. Once the tradition catches on, The Toronto Star may be invited back.

UW President Douglas Wright put it succinctly when he Early in the summer of this year it looked as if the undersaid, “This [budget] does nothing to relieve [UW’s] budget funding crisis experienced by Ontario universities would finally be resolved. The new Liberal government seemed crisis.” Although Nixon’s budget did have two bright spots for prepared to reverse the trend of declining quality of poststudents - there is an eight per cent increase’in student secondary education in this province - a trend established aid through OSAP and a four per cent cap on tuition inby years of Tory neglect. But last week’s budget, tabled by may still end up paying for the shortfall Treasurer Robert Nixon, showed that the Liberals, although . creases - students in funding. Wright gave notice of this the other day when he more generous than previous governments, are not serious said, “The Ontario budget doesn’t do us any good and I about tackling the problems faced by Ontario’s universities don’t see how it’s going to save us from something‘like and colleges. computer fees . . .” Unfortunately, The budget is even more disappointing in light of the it looks like Wright is planning, once again, on raiding students’ pockets directly expectations raised by the previous week’s announcement of a $50 million “excellence fund” for post-secondaryeduto compensate for government underfunding. With this new budget and Douglas Wright’s unimaginacation. On top of this $50 million, the budget only added tive response to the funding crisis, it is clear that UW another $30 million.

Why are people who oppose SD1*called idealists? So the continuing arms race is the only way to ensure peace. So the U.S. Strategic Defence Initiative is the most effective deterrent against nuclear war. You people who actually,believe this are insane. But you’re not alone. Recently a spokesman for the Pentagon admitted that even a limited nuclear war would necessarily result in a nuclear winter caused by countless tons of debris in the atmosphere blocking out the sun, and that this would snuff out all life on earth. But, he said, that is all the more reason for the arms buildup, to ensure that we never entered a nuclear war. Isn’t the fact that a nuclear war would wipe out.all life on earth enough of a deterrent? Why would anyone in their right mind want to push the button even if they had the upper hand in terms of a better nuclear arsenal if they knew that they would only be committing geno-suicide? And don’t try to talk about the plausibility of a “limited” nuclear war which some, notably US. vice-president George Bush, have argued would be winnable and would “only kill about a quarter of the world’s population. It is not only unspeakably immoral to speak in such terms, but also completely inaccurate. When scientists and statesmen speak of limited nuclear wars, they are referring to some-

where between 100 ,and 150 warheads, more than enough to kill hundreds of millions of fortunate people instantly and the rest of the world slowly and excruciatingly through radiation burns and nuclear winter. And those who think that SDI is the answer are even more deluded. At its best, even its proponents admit that it could only block something like 90% of the weapons directed at the U.S. How can anyone justify spending billions of dollars on this scheme when the 10% that would hit would be more than enough to wipe out North America while millions are starving to death? Unless you think being blown up five times over is better than being blown up fifty times over, SDI is .useless. Nuclear war is not only insane, but utterly pointless. No one could ever win one and all life on earth must die if there is one. And yet the only effective deterrent against it is to produce more of the weapons that will ultimately destroy US. Those among us with any sense who give a damn about our lives and want this madness stopped are disparagingly called idealists, impractical, and pupp.ets of those evil, imperialistic Soviets. The lunatics really have taken over the asylum. . Chris

That is three hours out of four years. Why should I and others like me have to pay huge sums of money ($70/term in my case) for a service that is not used.

lives bv calendzk

I : by Mike Loh *The moon was full again, risi_hajustas the sun was shedding its last few rays after the first day-of adjusting back to Eastern Standard Time. I was at the library when I rlbtired it, huge and bright, and for some reason I thought of my Grandma. She stilt lives by the lunar calendar that never. fails to Ifollow the exact phases of the moon. The first day of the tionth is when the night is moonless and fullmoon coties along on the fifttienth. She will go to-the temples on both days, the,highlight of every foitnight, a&l offer incense and fruits at the alters of the dozen or so gods of varibus ranks and origin. She will pray for continuous good health and fortune for the entire far&y, following a ritual that was set vp 8 / centuries ago. There was this particular temple that she frequented when I was little, ‘about 20 minutes walk from our home. lt was, and I guess still .is, designated as the temple for Kuan-Yin, a certain female deity who was popularised through the ancient ties with the old religions in India, as are so many other Chinese figures of divinity.‘(Grandma still insists Kuan-Yin is’as Chinese as she and I could ever be, even though I tried to enlighten her on the offending fact.) She often brought me al&g on those visits, and on host dw I agreed. I say most days, because a Chinese temple on ’ ’ a Chinese festivity is not a picnic for amateurs such as myself. People come in throngs, all to seek blessings from the numerous gods who choose to reside in temples that certain day. So, on .those quiet days, I agreed. She would perform the usual ritual of placing lighted sticks of incense ori the brass pots in front of e$ery’ figure, murmurring prayers that only she heard (well, I’m only considering earthly beings present). I would quietly walk in and around the temple, admiring the, intricate carvings and holy ancient words that I cbuld ‘not read, all giving me a,vew ‘old feeling, as if these objects and characters have always existed, casually regarded yet revered for their perceived relation with the heaknly beings. I am quite sure Grandma still goes to that temple every first and fifteenth day of the month in the lunar calendar, as faithful and unchanging ,as the temple and, its occupants. ‘I can imagine her finishing her prayers and staying for an hour or so for small talk with the care-taker and slowly walking b&k tq our home for I 1 lunch. She will b& back in two we&s, or soon, if the need arises. .’ Grandma will probably be the last of us to make those trips, none of the younger members of the family &es the temple as a solution to any ot Me’s true pr@lems. As tor me, I:m Still admiring intricate ‘carvings and not knowing how to read @se ancient words.

\ Tools For Peace sends aid to Nicaragua

by Mary Joy Aitken A group of K-W citizens are participating in a campaign to send goods to Nicaragua. Tools For Peace is a material aid campaign whose aim is to gather goods from across Canada which will be crated and shipped to Nicaragua in January 1986.

r The local K-W campaign is affiliated with the national Coalition for Aid to Nicaragua (CAN), which is sponsored by church groups, trade unions, teachers* federations, health professionals, business people, artists and development workers. Some local endorsers of

Imprint,

‘the campaign are Dr. Douglas Wright, U W president, Walter MacLean, Secretary of State for Immigration, Mennonite Central Committee Director Ray Schlegal, artist Peter Etril Snyder and others. The project began in 198 1 when a boat loaded with $25,000 worth of goods left Vancouver for Nicaragua. Last year the totaLnational value of goods shipped was close to $2 million. Locally, the campaign began in 1983. According to Laurie Snyder, active in last year’s campaign, close to 20 people were involved in the project last year and $20,000 worth of goods were sent from the K-W area. One of the biggest donations last year came from St. Joseph’s Hospital in Guelph. They donated stretchers, lab equipment and hospital furniture. Donations were also received from K-W Hbspital. Novapharm, a pharmaceutical company in Mississauga, gave antibiotics, malaria medication and vitamins. Other donations from local businesses and individuals’ included office equipment such as typewriters, pens and pencils, sewing machines, bicycles, as well as many other items. According to Lucy Harrison, member of this year’s campaign, the need for donations “is greater than ever this year. This is partly because of the U.S. embargo of Nicaragua.” However, she does not anticipate that this year’s campaign will be as s_uccessful as last year. She attributes this to “increased requests for aid from many other organizations, especially those involved in famine rdief in Africa and, closer to home, tornado relief in the Barrie area.” This year, Harris says that goods urgently requested include blankets, batteries, candles, pens, pencils and paper as well as cash

donations. (Cash donations are tax-deductible). Also needed are agricultural equipment, such as tractors, and garden handtools, medicines, band-ages and needles, construction and carpentry tools, radios, cassette and video recorders, toys, games, sports equipment (baseball is Nicaragua’s national sport), and musjcal instruments. Harris says-that it is “amazing how resourceful the Nicaraguan people are with items that we feel have lost their usefulness.” , However, she emphasizes that goods that are sent to Nicaragua “must be in good working condition.” For example, the group is only sending workable manual typewriters this year. And the only bicycles that will be sent “are one and three speeds as 10 speed bikes are just not sturdy enough to stand up to Nicaraguan roads.” Harris also adds that if one would like to help with the campaign but hasn’t the money or goods to donate, there is still an urgent need for volunteers to help with the crating and packing of goods. To date, goods received include used clothing, medicines, bicycles and blankets. All of these items need to be crated and prepared for shipping. The campaign will be wound up by November 14 and goods sent off to Toronto for eventual delivery to Vancouver. From there they are shipped to Nicaragua. Anyone interested in donating goods or time should contact the Global Community Centre at 746-4090.

Ministers “on the sauce”

$6 billion education cut

WINNIPEG (CUP) - The federal government willuse college and university students to balance the budget, Manitoba’s finance minister says. By 1990, provinces will have $6 billion less in federal money to spend on health, universities and colleges, according to reports from a secret session of a meeting between federal and provincial finance ministers several weeks ago. In an after-dinner session of the Sept. 26-27 Halifax meeting, that only finance ministers and not their aides attended, Michael Wilson, Federal Minister of Finance said the government will be cutting back transfer payments to the provinces starting in 1986. This new schedule for cuts is a change from information published in the May budget. Because aides didn’t attend the meeting and “half the ministers were probably on the sauce” by the time Wilson made the announcement, according to an MP who asked his name not be used, the new plan for cuts got no national press. But federal opposition critics found out through the Ontario and Manitoba finance ministries, and Liberal secretary of state critic , Roland de Corneille (Eglington-Lawrence) asked Wilson about the $6 billion in cuts during Question Period in the House of Commons last week. Wilson said the next meeting with finance ministers would be to decide how the cuts would be implemented. He did not deny the $6 billion figure. Since 1977, Established Programs Financing transfers from Ottawa to the provinces have risen 7.5 per cent a year, to keep pace with inflation and gross national product (apart from the six and five years.) Now Wilson wants to cut increases to five per cent per year, cumulative. Based on Manitoba and Ontario calculations, the Liberals and New Democrats say the cuts will be $800 million in 1987, $1.2 billion in 1988, 1.6 billion in 1989, and $2 billion in 1990. Currently, according to the terms of reference of the federal study team on education, the government estimates $4.4 billion of’its annual transfer payments go to education and training. In the,past provinces have always cut education before cutting health care, de Corneille said. “This is the death knell ringing (for education) if this goes through,” he said. According to Manitoba Finance Minister Vic Schoeder, Wilson’s proposal means Medicare and accessible post-secondary

education

will become things of the past.

“Right now, in Manitoba, the federal government gives us 43 cents of every dollar we spend on health services and education,” Schoreder said. “Mr. Wilson’s objective is to reduce this to 36 cents on the dollar by 1990.” Manitoba alone could lose $92 million annually by 1990, Shroeder said. Shroeder rejected Wilson’s claim that the $6 billion decrease was needed to reduce the federal deficit. The same national budget that proposes the decrease is offering $2.3 billion in tax breaks over the same five years. He says the government is trying to balance the budget on the backs of students. “There’s a clear connection here,” Shroeder said. “The Federal government is not taxing retirement savings program investments of up to $15,000 a year and is also not taxing capital gains of up to $500,000.” Shroeder. said the province will do what it can to make up any possible shortfall, but he doesn’t want to be forced to choose between decreasing funding for health services or for decreasing funding to universities. Shroeder said he was confident the provinces could prevent the federal government from further reducing transfer payments. Manitoba, Quebec and the four Maritime provinces oppose the idea. Only Saskatchewan’s Conservative finance minister, Bob Andrew, was in favour. I “Once people understand that this is about whether they’ll be able to go to the doctor, get a college education for their kids or retraining for themselves if they’re unemployed, the federal government will be forced to back down,” Shroeder said. “1 think the same thing will happen that happened over the attempt to deindex pensions.” John Casola, Canadian Federation of Students executive director, said CFS has been lobbying against Wilson’s proposal but the organization doesn’t have much information on the subject. Sandra Wolfe, an aid to de Corneille, said the MP’s office wants to get students protesting and signing petitions to oppose the cuts, like pensioners did after indexing pensions was cut in the May budget. “Let’s face it, umversitites are not the sexiest thing on Parliament Hill, but if we can get the students aroused, then we can get the caucus aroused,” she said.

more reso -ft u ure by Carol Davidson Imprint staff Are there too many lawyers in Canada? Not according to Brian Eby, a former University of Waterloo student and now a practicing lawyer at a local Kitchener law firm. Eby was the guest speaker at a Brown Bag Seminar at St. Jerome’s College Wednesday, October 23. Eby discussed how much the job market for lawyers has changed over the past decade. “Gone are the days when you graduated and were handed the keys to a Rolls Royce,” he said. Law is like any other business and law graduates have to get out into the work force and fill whatever positions are available. He admitted that not all graduates of law go into practice. At least 30% never work in a private law practice but use their skills elsewhere in industry. Eby said that it gets toughter each year for law students to get a job in an existing law firm and it is even more difficult for them to set up their own practi-

inl ces. Whereas 20 years ago banks saw a large practice a &cure investment, today they are more skeptical. Eby recongized that there are more lawyers in Canada today than ever before. In 1980 the statistics were 1 laywer for every 600 Canadians. This has lead to greater competition amongst lawyers, which has resulted in rate cuts for legal services. Consequently, lawyer’s salaries are getting lower which in turn has lead to a plea from existing lawyers for cuts in law school enrolments. “1 don’t think you should stop students from going to law school,” stated Eby. Instead, he suggested a change in the law school curriculum to include courses in business administration and finance. He also feels that law schools should assume a greater responsibility to advise students on the pressures they will face-and help guide them towards all areas where their iaw degrees may be applicable. “Lawyers are born, then refined,” said Eby.

1 by Cindy Lbng Now that you’ve quit the macaroni habit, ,what do you buy? Try fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, cheese . .. try the Farmer’s Market for a wide selection of cheese, and highquality produce at modest prices. Watch for sales. Shop between Wednesday and Saturday when they’re on and check out Central Meat Market on Tuesdays for savings on anything from vegetables to household cleanser to (of course) meat. Plan to buy what’s on sale and usecoupons. The Waterloo Chronicle carries ad sections for Dutch Boy, Mr. Grocer and Zehr’sl 1 have a preference for Mr. Grocer because of the friendly service, non-existent line-ups and the free chequing card for university students. However, Zehr’s often has a better selection ‘of produce and _meat. If you go to Dutch,Boy be prepared to suffer through squashed check-out lines. Buy big. If you’re going to make, spaghetti sauce, for instance, buy a huge jar of sauce. Buy two jars if they’re on sale for a good price. Read the price per gram. A huge pot of sauce can last one person for four meals!’ Buy flour andeother baking needs in bulk from natural food outlets. You’ll save. Same goes for raisins, nuts, peanut butter (even cheaper if you bring your own container at The Natural Food-Market), beans, and things like coconut, dried fruit, and honey. , Eggs come fresher at the health food stores. Don’t throw away good food. Beet leaves can be cooked like spinach. Peel your potatoes and you’re losing iron vitamin C and protein. Hpve.you noticed the push to buy milk in plastic bags? As far as saving money goes, that’s fine, but if you care about your planet, splurge on the cartoons. Boycott “thow away” plastic as much as you can. Use shopping bags for garbage bags later. *Buy frozen juices and keep waste down by re-using the same container for them. As university students we have responsibilities that go beyond saving pennies. Your children and grandchildren will . have to use this earth after you. Here’s this week’s recipe: The Worlds- Greatest Spaghetti Sauce Ingredients: 1 litre jar of sauce (1 use Ragu) ’ 1’ pound of fresh mushrooms (sliced and washed) /’ 1 pound medium ground beef (optional for vegetarians) 2 large cloves of garlic (one chopped fine, one sliced) 1 ’ l small green pepper 1 large.-ornon (any kind, sliced) 1 tablespoon (tblsp.) basil / I tsp. oregano l/4 tsp. thyme ’ ._ b 1 bay leaf (remove before serving) 1/ 2 cup dry, red wine (preferably Italian), This is optional. How to do it: I Start cooking the sauce on very low heat. Add spices and stir. While it heats, chop all the veggies. Fry the beef until brown and add it. Fry the mushrooms until soft (not brown). Add ‘em. Fry all the other veggies, including the chopped clove of garlic, until soft and add. Add the sliced clove raw. Add the wine. Simmer (don’t boil) for at least l/2 hour, longer if you’ have the time. Boil the spaghetti until “al dente.” Serve immediately. I

by Derek Rasmumen for CnnrrAInn University Press If you’re-lilm me you were probably taught a few basic “facts” about nuclear weapons while you were growing up. Somebody probably taught you that the atom bombs the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki shortened WW II. In History CUSS somebody probably said that nuclear weapons have only been used twice. Later somebody probably said that the main reason for the US. to have nuclear weapons is to deter the Soviet Union. Everything they told you was a lie. Myth #l - H*shima & lvagasaki The American atom-bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not shorten WW II, it lengthened it; it didn’t save Allied lives, it cost Japanese and Allied lives. Dr. Martin J. Sherwin is the only American historian to have read through all of the top-secret documents relating to the Manhattan Project and the A-bombing of Japan. His research took eight years and from it he published a book,A World Destroyedz The Atomic Bomb and the airand Alliance. Dr. Sherwin presented in a recent phone interview with Canadian University Press, the following chronology of the last few months of WW II: May 1948: The U.S. demands the unconditional surrender of Japan The former ambassador to Japan (“A man who knew more about Japan than any other American in government,” says Sherwin) and the acting Secretary of State, Joseph Grew, urged President Truman to modify the unconditional surrender demand The U.S. had cracked Japanese codes years before, and from the intercepted messages Grew and Trumanknewthat the Japanese would never surrender without assurances that the institution of their Emperor would survive. Truman refuses. June 81: U.S. wins battle for Okinawa, begins daily aerial bombing of Japan. In his memoirs, Joseph Grew predicts that Japan may have surrendered on this day if the U.S. had modified their demands for an “unconditional surrender”. July 13: Japanese foreign Minister Togo (in a cable intercepted by American Intelligence and delivered to President Truman) says, “Unconditional surrender is the only obstacle to peace. . .” Truman ignores it. A6: Atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima. 80,000 die. August ‘7: The second bomb is supposed to be dropped on Aug. 11, giving the Japanese time to consider surrendering (note below: Japan’s offer to surrender came on Aug. 10) The timing decision, however, is left in the hands of Colonel Paul Tibbets at bomber command Tibbets says it is “too bad” that the date tin’t two days earlier, because the weather will be nicer. The date is moved up. August 9: Atom bomb dropped on Nagasaki. 74,000 die. August-lo: Japanese government offers to surrender on the condition that the U.S. guarantees the continuation of the Emperor and his dynasty. August 14: The U.S. agrees to this conditional Japanese surrender - a surrender it could have accepted months before. (And Emperor Hirohito is still alive and ruling today). Given that the Americans could have ended the Pacific War in July, if not May, of 1945, every Australian, New Zealander, British, &nadian and American soldier who died during that period (not to mention the Japanese) is the responsibility of T ruman’s government and its blind determination not to end the war until it had tested atom bombs (one uranium and one plutonium) on civilian populations. The atom bombs “also held out the possibility of a dividend,” says Sherwin, “and that was the chance to give Moscow a little shock and shake them up a bit.” But WW II wasn’t over yet. In what American scholar Noam Chomsw has described as a “final gratuitous act of barbarism,” the U.S. launched a thousand plane raidagainst Japan onAugust 14, four days after Japan had offered to give up, but, technically, beforethe U.S. had accepted Seven cities were bombed

One victim, M&oto Oda, described what happened in Osaka: “In the afternoon of August 14,1945, thousands of people died during a protracted and intensive aerial bombardment of an arsenal in Osaka. I was witness to the tragedy . . . After what seemed an eternity of terror and . anguish, we who were fortunate enough to survive emerged from our shelters. We found the corpses - and the leaflets which American bombersdropped over the destruction The leaflets proclaimed in Japanese, “Your Government has surrenedered. The war is over!” ( from: Journal of Social and Political Ideas in Japan, August, 1966) Even American Secretary of War Stimson said he was “apalled that there had been no protest over the air strikes we were conducting against Japan which led to such extraordinary heavy losses of life.” He felt that “there was . something wrong with a country where no one questioned that.” Myth #8 - Muclear Weapons have only been used twice. The U.S. has used nuclear weapons 22 times since Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most of us have never heard of this, but the facts are in the accompanying chart, drawn primarily from a U.S. Defence Department study. ’ If a killer puts a gun to your head andasks for your wallet, has he used the gun? Yes. Even if he doesn’t pull the trigger, he has still used the gun In this way the U.S. has used nuclear weapons over and over again since 1945. And, as the chart shows, usually this loaded gun has been pointed at Third World, non-nuclear, not even conventionally strong nations. Daniel Ellsberg is a former Marine Captain and military consultant to the BAND Corporation In the early 1960s he was the highest ranking civilian in the U.S. Pentagon to read and revise America’s overall nuclear war plan. Ellsberg was interviewed about this secret history of nuclear threats by Current Magazti in June, 1981. Current: Would a president seriously consider using nuclear weapons against a country that didn’t possess them? Ellsberg: First, that’s how Harry Truman used them, in August 1945. Second, it’s safer than using them against the Soviets. Third, every president from Truman on (with the exception of Ford) has had an occasionin on ongoing, urgent crisis to direct serious preparations for imminent U.S. initiation of tactical nuclear warfare, preparations in every case “leaked” to the enemy, and in several cases accompanied by secret, explicit, official threats ... Presidents buy these weapons because they expect to use them, based on their knowledge of a largely secret history which both they and their adversaries know better than the threatened American public does - of how past presidents their use, and often with some significant success.

The smallest member of the group, Claude Morrison, has an astounding voice range which can reach incredible heights and depths, and he added the high-pitched noises used in their sound effects. ’ Music was only half of the actual show, which was an effervescent, Broadway-style floor show - real entertaimentl

by Christine Fischer Imprint staff What can I say? The Nyl: ens’ show last Friday at the Humanities Theatre .was fantastic! ’ From the time the Nylons came on stage to the time they said goodnight, it was a tight hour and a half of their own breed of music, “rockapella”,-a kind of rhythm-bluesrock ‘n’ roll blend‘- of four well-trained voices. The sole instrument used for back-up was a tambourine, since they used their v.oices as instru-

Their charisma reached everyone in the theatre, and coaxed even the most serious personalities to clap along with th.e beat. In between songs, their fast paced oneliners and kidding among themselves was good natured and relaxed, from inside racial jokes about the one black member, Arnold. Robinson, “Canadian jive” spoken by other three, to jokes about how “the allwhite back up wasn’t bad, eh?” The high point of the evening was clearly The Lion Sleeps Tonight in which dry ice and

. green lighting produced a jungle-like effect along with their own jungle noises. This song was obviously their favorite and was the best of the evening. The Nylons understand the meaning of ,working as. a group, because just as their voices blended and became one, so also did they. None were competing for the spotlight; rather, they are one harmonious entity that turn out a timeless type of sound which will never become trendy and fade away.

Pilot captures

Do you face life as in individual, thumbing your nose at society’s conventions and expectations, or do you put yourself on automatic pilot, letting yourself be pushed along by acquaintances and social mores? That is one of the many disquieting questions put forward by the UW Drama Department’s production of Erika Ritter’s wickedly funny’play, Automatic Pilot. It sends the audience on a deliciously satirical flight of fun but not without a good deal of uncomfortable emotional and moral turbulence. With an’ impressionistic Toronto skyline as the backdrop throughout, the play opens with Charlie (Rebecca Maynard-Tomasevic), a thirty-year-old -woman without any real direciton in life, giving a stand-up routine at the Canada Goose Club. She sarcastically tries to justify her full-time job as a soap opera writer and ridicules the trivialities and pettiness of a society which values things like beanbag frogs and dimmer switches. The next morning she finds herself in Nick’s bed, rudely awakened by his younger brother Gene, almost his brother’s polar opposite. Nick, played with admirable sliminess by Christopher Wilson, personifies the shallow society of the 80’s perfectly. Nick’s idea of committment is remembering his latest conquest’s name; he’s only in it for fun. When Charlie starts cleaning out his fridge, the very thought of domesticity terrorizes him. Nick has no scruples about callous)y using people to get what he wants and pretty well sums up the theme of the play when he says, “You people with pure mdtives - you make me nervous.” Gene is the alternative Charlie turns to after getting the roses-and-wine kiss-off from Nick. Portrayed with an engagingly cheeky yet sincere charm by Bruce Beaton, Gene is an aspiring novelist who sees through the facades and pretensions of those around him and has a wisecrack for every situation. After finding Charlie in Nick’s bed and hearing her insist that she’s not as sleazy as she looks, he tells her, “You’re not the type who puts ‘sleep around’ on your things to do list.” To make matter? even more confusing for Charlie is her ex-husband (or, as she p&s it, her late husband), Alan, who left her for another man.

” A retro spectrve IOOK at Graham The latest fiction of Graham Greene was the title and subject of a conference held October 25 and 26 at St. Jerome’s College. Papers dealGreene’s latest ing with fiction were presented Friday and Saturday. Two of Greene’s works on film, Travels With My Aunt and The Human Factor were shown Friday evening. The discussions on Greene and his work were exciting

and thought-provoking. These feelings are one of the reasons behind the conference. Organized by Prof. Ted McGee of St. Jerome’s College, the conference came about as a result of a discussion on the fact that much of’ Greene’s later work, from Travels With My Aunt onward, were taught in highschool and university English courses. Apart from this, is Greene’s tremendous popularity with the general public. People who have lead him comment on the powerful in-

fluence he has had on them. Almost all of Greene’s novels have been made into films. There has beeti little criticism of the latest Greene and what does exist tries to stereotype him as a “Catholic” novelist. This leads to a further purpose of holding the conference, a gathering of teachers of Greene and writers on Greene to examine both him and his life. Graham Greene is his fiction. The keynote address, Getting to know the writer, was given by Philip Stratford (Universite de Montreal).

The CL10 awards are enjoyczble Greene

by Michael .yolfe Imprint staff The CL10 Awards, those “Oscars” of the advertising world were screened at the Humanities Theatre last Wednesday and all the memebers of the advertising elite were there in full splendour. The lobby before the show was yuppie heaven - the graphic arts, “Cosmo” style, and someone even ventured a rude comment about my faded, but always fashionable jeans. The show itself wa’s fun, although a little pricey (I couldn’t imagin_e paying $11 to watch T.V. commercials.), and proved that the commercials are usually better than the T.V. shows themselves. There were classic commercials from as far back as 1958 - people pushing cars off skyscrapers to illustrate head on collisions, and naughty

French birth control ads that would be banned from American airwaves. There were examples of opera singing cabbies, coffee quaffing robots, and the classic Apple computer ads. From this they continued on to the packaging awards. The trend for, ‘85 is preppy-traditional. Turn of the century New England graphics of virginal maidens in flowing garlands, budding petunias, and flowing, flowery lettering. In radio, the Canadians dleaned up in all three categories with McBride Cycles father/son chat ad, the CFNY’s breakdance Pepsi commercial. The CLIOs were quite enjoyable but were marred by Bill Evans’ bad excuse for a commentary. His mumbling and bad jokes distracted from the high quality entertainment.

profound effect has on people and his ability to “tell a story” would seem to stem from his lifelong and outrageous attempts to eliminate his self-professed boredom. This is exemplified by childhood games of Rus sian Roulette, and through psycho-analysis ,and extended periods of drunkeness once reaching college. As an adult, Greene continued with the flow, from becoming a card-carrying communist in an attempt to become a spy, to being sued by Shirley Temple for his critique on her performance as being “sexually enticing.” The experience of the extreme and intense has added to Greene’s writing in depth of *statevent, understanding and adventure which makes his work classic.

dles this character making the best of the impossible task of coming to terms with what he is in light of what is socially acceptable. He is also a pathological sponger, sucking up to people he doesn’t like such as Nick if there’s any hope of getting a valuable connection for his dismal acting career. ~ Ritter squanders no opportunity for jokes and barbs which set the audience howling, but a distinct unpleasantness undercuts much of the comedy. The audience laughs at the characters’ weaknesses and moral double-standards but is then unsettled to realize that the- play is realistic and that there are many people out there like Alan and Nick. We are forced not only to ridicule the cqrruptions of the characters, but also to examine our own motives and how we interact with others professionally and sexually. The central figure is the hard-drinking, terminally confused Charlie. Maynard-Tomasevic is disturbingly convincing as her character becomes unhinged. Desperately wanting something solid to hang on to, to give her life some stability, Charlie unsuccessfully attempts reconciliation with Alan after Nick dumps her, not knowing exactly what she wants. When she embarks on an affair with Gene, she thinks she has finally found what she wants - a sensitive, witty (albeit younger) man who truly loves her. But the most disquieting part of Automatic Pilot is that is turns out that she can’t cope with happiness. Charlie has so long been cruising along with the rdle of the perpetual underdog that she can only be happy when she’s the loser. She no longer has any need for her shield of bitter, self-depreciating sarcasm and, without it, she feels naked., It is a pathetic irony ,-that, through their breakup, both Charlie and Gene get what they want - Charlie gets the material for her comedy routine and Gene finds inspiration for his novel. The viewer must ask at this point what he or she really wants out of life and whether assigned roles can ever be broken. The play never becomes weepy or melodramatic, but even Ritter’s insightful gags cut with chilling accuracy. The final performances of Automatic Pilot are tonight and tomorrow at 8 p.m. in the Theatre of the Arts - $3 for students, $5 for others.

dealt with Greene’s inconoclasm in religion and politics. “If a man is in need of salvation then so is God.” Greene’s attitude relates to the structures of our faith and our God, rather than to faith and God themselves. Polititally, Greene sypathizes with the left and expresses the idea

that social change takes place through rebellion. Outspoken and challengii?g, Greene comes through in his work. Presented details on his life and’writing, it would seem, his autobiographies and biographies on him would be footnotes for his novels, or vice versa.

Wolfgang Press Sweatbox E-P. 4 A.D. - Import

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff

The Wolfgang Press continues to amaze. One of 4 A.D.‘s most consistently excellent bands, Sweatbox is the latest and most impressive of the three remarkable E.P.‘s they have released in the past twelve months.

The Wolfgang Press is one of the few bands that can truthfully assert that they So get out your hankerchiefs,cowboy boots and hat, and prepare for a good ole country hoe-down with Neil and his millionaire outlaw cronies. Old Ways is a wellrounded album for hard-core country fans. You’ll hear every instrument associated with country music; fiddle, steel guitar, banjo, harp, mandolin and, of course, Neil and his harmonica.

by Doug Tait Imprint staff The album cover tells the whole story; Neil Young wandering down a quiet country road. He looks content and ‘comfortable. In other words, he looks at home. After ventures into rockabilly and computer pop, Neil has gone back to his first love, country music.

The lyrics are also typicaly country. Neil sings about cowboys, women, misfits, and California, and, for all the highway. t hose truckers, There’s also your usual assortment of country tearjerkers, like the sappy My Boy, a song where Young drones on about kids growing up too fast.

On Get Back to the Country, Neil lets us know where his. feelings lie, singing “When I was a younger man / Got lucky with a rock ‘n’ roll band / Struck gold in Hollywood / All that time I knew I would / Get back to the country, back where it all began.”

Red Hot Chili Peppers Frea ky S tyley by John Zachariah Imprint staff Taking a cue from their producer George Clinton, the, L.A. quartet Red Hot Chili Peppers has produced a new album of occasionally murky funk/rock jingles. Though the songs on Freaky Styley have a tendency to plod, most are still danceable. However, this band is truly wanting in

the lyric department and definitely warrants a space in the Bad Songwriting Hall of Fame (alongside Strange Advance). Consider the first track, Jungelman, with its eightgrade chorus, “I’m a jungleman . .. I get all the bush I can.” Holey Moley. Then there’s Nevermind, which exhorts listeners to shun trendy outfits in favor of the “hip” Peppers Never has egornt% been so’stilted and inane. Or how about Catholic School-

to Blancmange’s Day Bejbre You Came. Building slowly from a murky outset, the flamenco guitar, majestic synthesized strings and unexpectedly clear and melodic trumpet buoy the impassioned singing into a ballad of immense proportions. Although the Wolfgang , Press has thus far laboured in the shadow of better-known 4 A.D. artists like the Cocteau Twins and Modern English, they will no doubt carve their own little niche in music history if they continue to make records of this calibre. Without question, one of 1985’s best. ,

A strangely compelling instrumental, Muted, follows and sets the stage for Heart of Stone where the halfmoaned, agonised vocals confess, “I’m looking for a heart of stone,” propelled by the ever-smashing and thudding percussion in what seems to be a perverse Neil Young parody. Finally, the record closes with I’m Coming Home, reminiscent of, but far superior

ise since some of this record is reminiscent of his earlier albums like Comes a Time and Harvest, particularly with The Wayward Wind, which may bring back memories of Lotta Love. Ole Willie Nelson adds his shaky voice to A‘re there anymore Real Cowboys; their voices blend perfectly together but, unfortunately, the lyrics are pretty silly. Willie’s outlaw buddy, Waylon Jennings, fills in vqtally throughout the record. He comes in handy during some of the choruses, adding more strength where Neil’s voice fails. It looks as though we’re going to hear more country in the future from Neil Young., His recent involvement in Farm-Aid and this album confirm where Young’s musical tastes lie. For the time being, anyway.

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff The Lucy Show’s debut album, Undone, is quite a frustrating affair. It is filled with good intentions, good tunes and fine playing but there is always an indefinable something that keeps the record from attaining the excellence it so often comes close to. Founded by Calgarians Mark Bandola on guitar, keys and vocals, and bassist/vocalist Rob Vandeven, who travelled to England to get the band together, The Lucy Show has an enjoyable, if somewhat nondescript sound. Their influences are salient throughout the record but they wear them well, shades of The Teardrop Explodes coming through here, and The Cure there. The Lucy Show’s greatest strength, however, lies in guitarist Pete Barclough whose Robert Smith/Echo’s Will Sargent style has keen melodic sense, the riffs weaving their way into the forefront and then fading back into an ethereal sireri in the distance. Barclough dominates Ephemeral with one his many irresistably catchy guitar lines, making it one of the best cuts on the album and a good candidate for gi single. Twister is a showcase for Rob Vandeven who sounds remarkably like The Teardrop’s Julian Cope, the dense whirling of the keyboards perfectly reflecting the theme of the song (I’m caught in a twister). But unfortunately, most of the vocal duties are. handled by Bandola whose whine wouldn’t asthmatic sound out of place in Platinum Band. The Lucy Show’s’opus,

Diary

In The Shadow

Of The Big Man

WEA by Tim Perlich -Contrary to popular belief, Guadalcanal Diary hails from the Ailanta suburb of Marietta, Georgia and nbt from American music’s new mecca: Athens, Ga. - home of REM, Love Tractor, Pylon, B-52’s etc. It may seem like a minor point but it’s a big deal to a group who constantly find themselves lumped in with all the ‘other’ Georgia bands. Vocalist Murray Attaway explains: “It’s a more settled place than Athens, which is a university town. My dad still calls ‘people from the North ‘damn Yankees’ “. The group’s music is true to their small town roots, developing with the maturation of the members who have grown together as friends since high school in the 70’s. Guadalcanal Diary as it now exists, debuted in 1981 at a friend’s wedding reception where they played mostly covers such as Thunderball and Gloomy Sunday. About these days, drummer Rhett Crowe recalls: “A lot of our early songs wouldhave four tempo changes. It was difficult for the audience to figure out what the hell we were doing.” Two years later, the band recorded a four song EP called Watusi Rodeo (without the title song) in a very low budget run of 1,000 copies. Gaining widespread local recognition for the EP and their intense rock ‘n’ roll hoe-downs, Guadalcanal Diary decided it was time to expand their audience and thus recorded the single and video Watusi Rodeo. The release quickly landed them a “high-rotation” slot on the MTV playlist and instantaneous nation-wide exposure. The units started moving and suddenly they had enough working capital to record an LP with Jangle guru Don Dixon (REM, Let’s Active, Bongos, Beat Rodeo, etc.) as producer. Regarding the collaboration, guitarist Jeff Walls says: “He was more accustomed to clean-cut pop, while we were a hard-rocking garage band. The record is where those two things meet.” That pretty well sums it up. Walking In The Shadow Of The Big Man cduld be described as a raucous, countrified rave-up that takes a breather now and again. The songs are played by youths who seem to be genuinely inspired by their traditional American music heritage, not simply a few stiug, ‘hipper than thou’ juveniles who’ve jumped on the haywagon because “the clothes are soooo kitsch”. This is not to say that the band is humourless. Watusi Rodeo, for example, is a tongue-in-cheek stab at the Reagan adminis- _ tration that tells a story of a cowboy invasion of Africa. Ghost on the Road continues the narrative style begun with Trail of Tears, chugging along to a crashing freight train shuffle that owes much to Roy Acuff’s Wreck on the Highway. Intrumentals are handled just as deftly. Gilbert Takes the Wheel ._. features. rebel rousing guitars pounded into background submission by an earth-moving drum/bass sound that would make Steve Lillywhite shrivel with envv. Walking In The Shadow Of The big Man closes with a song-a-long cover of Kumbayah which must have been the only song my primary school teacher ever knew. I think Mrs. Funamoto would be pleased, and so might you.

Barbados by Donna Chong . Imprint staff Spice. The 4-man band from the Barbados lived up to its name and created a lively, energetic mood at Fed Hall on Wednesday, October 23. Their music, a combination of reggae and calypso, enticed *the crowd from their seats to help fill the dance floor for most of the, evening. They describe their music as happy, jamming music designed to get everyone up and happy. And it seemed to work. \, They played both some of their own original music and cover songs such as Frankie’s Two Tribes, the Beatle’s Let It Be and Waltzing Matilda, with their own unique twist of reggae and soul. Their own song You’re Always On My Mind, co-written by Dean Straker and Alan Shepherd, won the top record of the year in the Carribean and Barbados. They have also been awarded the title “Band of the Year” and “Most Outstanding Group” by members of the music industry where they are from. The band members are all 23 years of age. They grew up together in Barbados and

have been playing together for eight years. None of them have received formal music training and none of them can read music. They play it all by ear. The concert was sponsored by the Federation of Students and the admission price was unbeatable; it was f,ree. The free tickets unfortunately .did not entice nearly enough students away from their books on a typical Wednesday study night for a band of this quality. The group has been touring in southern Ontario since October 1. They have played at the El Mocambo and the Bamboo Club in Toronto and have also been to other univeisities - McMaster and Western. Unfortunately, their latest album, Form of Fashion is not available in Canada. The group is trying to break into new markets and their tour in Ontario is a step toward fulfilling that goal. As Straker said, “I hope our Music makes people happy. If they enjoy it then that’s good enough for us.” Judging from the reaction of the crowd at Fed Hall that night, Spice’s music did just that.

Munich Philharmonic: by Peter Lawson Imprint staff Viewing the performance of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra as a “once in a lifetime experience” may be a realistic assessment, but if hope springs eternal, another oppor‘tunity to hear this orchestra would be more than appreciated. Their performance at The Centre in the Square on October 28 was a pre-Halowe’en treat. The orchestra, fouhded in 1893, has embarked on a their first North American tour with conductor Lorin Maazel. Viewed as one of the world’s best, the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra have hadan illustrious history - being led by musicians and conductors such as Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, George Szell and George Solti. The present conductor also shares world acclaim. Maazel spent his ‘youth in America and his professional career has achieved wide recognition, especially for his work in

Angels, The entombment of and The Temptation of St. Anthony. The music is

of the 20th century but possesses elements of old structures such as counter-point and the choral, suggesting the

religious overtones. The final work was the popular Tchikovsky Symphony No 5 in E minor, Opus 64 which, written in his later years, is filled with tuneful motifs. This standard four movement symphony proved to be the highlight for the audience. Beyond the music, the 130 member Orchestra was the highlight of the evening. They were equal to a finely woven fabric <with Lorin Maazel as the master weaver, usually stretching long lines but injecting a short stitch here, or there. An effective symbol helps explain the experience. Maazel signalled for a violin section entry with a hand which started closed and blossomed open. The violin section responded with a pianissimo beginning and then flowered into a crescendo. The overall effect was smooth and. together and showed the strong hand of a discipline which reigns.

Sybilla, who has grown up on a farm in the Australian outback, is shuttled off to her grandmother’s _estate in her adolescence, to learn of the finer things in life. This pleases her, since she is planning to be big in the arts (writing, singing, etc.) and has no desire to be stuck down on the farm for the rest of her days. Sadly, she finds things at her granny’s to be claustrophobic; Sybilla is a willful young lass who refuses to be married off, as her granny would have it. Despite this, Sybilla gets herself. involved with the flamboyant, slickhaired Harry Beecham, a strapping young buck from a neighbouring castle. Of course, Harry proposes, but Sybilla declines; she has to find out what’s wrong with the world, and with herself, first. . Sounds like a real ding-aling, right? Actually, she’s not. She’s just a very ambitious girl with a romantic streak who is slightly ahead of her time (the movie is set at the turn of the century), and this may be what ,makes the movie so runof-the-mill. My Brilliant Career was made in 1979, which means the public has had six years of up-and-coming, tough-lady stories to look at, both on T.V. and at the movies. No wonder Sybilla’s story seems such a cliche.

Five-band

bash for Beattie

b; Paul Reichart -For the uninformed, last Wednesday was the occasion of a political benefit concert upstairs at the Kent Hotel. Five very different bands came in support of. UW graduate Steve Beattie’s campaign for Waterloo City Council. Beattie is running on a platform of alternative issues and articulating the concerns of minority members of the communitw. i.e. senior citizens and students. First up was Pinwheel, an all-female vocal group from Sarnia. They performed a variety of both common and obscure tunes in their set, among them being Hay Una A Mujer, a Holly Near song cOncerning the status of women who have disappeared amidst civil chaos in South America, and traditionals such as Blackjack and Dark As The Dungeon, in additon to popular hits like You’re No Good and irhe Weight. Conversation ceased instantaneously at the combi2 cactii and three nines

nation of enchanting and note-perfect harmonies and guitars, and they were ushered from the stage with generous applause. The Beirdo Brothers appeared next, running the gamut from baroque to country blues with tunes including Eric Satie’s Gymnopedi, Duke Elfingtoh’s Sophisticated Lady, and, particularly well-done,’ Walking Stick by Leon Redbone, all on flute and guitar. the singing Beirdo, being afflict,ed with a catarrh only vocalized on a few songs, but when he did so it showed few signs of weakness. They in turn were also very well received. This set the stage for Beyond the Pale, featuring the. dark horse candidate Steve Beattie on vocals, guitar and penny-whistle and Greg Schantz on violin. They regaled the crowd with numbers ranging from pop standards Iike Ain’t Misbehaving and Sunny Side of the Street to melodies transby kec kcrs

and

cribed from Celtic harp cornpositions. Rating special mention was Beattie’s original setting for Lewis Carol’s The

Walrus

and

the Carpenter.

Beattie has a distinctive voice .and it is hoped that he will not hurt it with all the speeches he will have to make as an alderman. Following up were Too Few Men, elements of Future Insects up from Sarnia, doing Leo Kottke’s Frank Forget and several folk-influenced originals done on steel and acoustic guitar and bass, with great verve and vigour. The evening closed with Elmsghost, a jazz fusion band which was a treat for those who hung on expressly to hear them. _/ Rumours are being mongered to the effect that a second surprise benefit for Steve Beattie, is in the offing. Look out for news of a show which may well surpass the high standards set at last wee k’s Graphtc

by Steve Hayman ’ The U W Warrior Basketball Team evened its pre-season at l-l last Friday withan 89-78 loss to Toronto Estonia in a game played at Oakville’s Sherjdan College, a nice new facility equipped with power seats. UW’s Randy -Norris led all scorers with 25,. before. a crowd estimated at 22 I. but,-later enumerated as 24. The game featured the debut of Guelph Gryphon coach Dave Arsenault as a referee. One of the two scheduled officials hadn’t shown up by game time, so Arsenault was recruited out of the crowd and fit in well. Was he unbiase’d? “Definitely not. But 1 won’t say which way”, said Arsenault seconds before game time. So who is Estonia? They’re one of the best basketball teams in the country, a senior team composed mainly of former OUAA all-stars. It’s j a club with amazing depth and one whose every ‘member is familiar to anyone who has followed OUAA basketball for a while.

Waterloo led after the first with a goal by Todd Coulter. In the second, Waterloo accumulated four goals, all within six minutes, Brian Ross scored at 3:52 after being set up by centreman Steve Linesmen and right-winger Dan Magwood. The three players skated down the ice and connected for a goal so fast and effectively that the Voyageurs just watched in amazement. Other scorers in the second were Kent Wagner, Steve Linesmen -and Jamie McKee.

The Waterloo Varsity Men’s hockey team split two games on the weekend against the Laurentian University Voyagers. On Saturday night, Waterloo, with one league win behind them, took on the Voyageurs. The game was both chippy and dirty. The Warriors displayed sluggish hockey, and looked to be a little bit under the weather. The Warriors didn’t seem to be anticipating. the Voyageur offensive drives and. as a result, lost, 7 - 5 . Jamie McKee,’ lead the Warriors with two goals, one a shorthanded goal at 1:39 of the first. Other Warrior scorers were John Goodman, Scott Dick and Dan Magwood. The Warriors did some regrouping, -and managed to come back on Sunday afternoon to display the kind of exciting hockey that fans were getting quite used to seeing. Waterloo looked sharper and quicker. The Voyageurs, on the other hand, were playing their chippy style of hockey.

Doug Paul - RugPy Doug is one of the veteran members of the Waterloo rugby team. he is a 4th-year Systems Design students. from Streetsville, Ontario and was a member of the 1983 OUAA Championship team from Waterloo. Doug is a member of the Ontario Provincial Rugby Team and the Stoney Creek Rugby Football, as well as playing for the Warriors. In the final league game last weekend versus McMaster, Doug had an outstanding day. He scored a try as the teams battled to a 13- 13 draw. Coach Mark Harper explained that Doug played a “super game.” He was the top man on line-outs and was always there to support loose play. From his lock position, Doug continually emerged as the force man on all plays. On top of all this, the Warriors were without several starting players for the game and Doug took over the team leadership role very effectively and played the entire game despite a painful injury.

what’s wrong with football -program? ” by Steve Hayman Imprint staff ’ October 1978, Seagram Stadium. Some of us remember it as a perfect day for playoff football, and, of all teams, the Waterloo Warriors are \in the league semi-final. Waterloo is leading the Laurier Hawks by a touchdown late in the fourth quarter and pressing for an insurance TD. But quarterback Greg Sommerville throws an incterception that WLU runs back for a major. Laurier wins 30-23 in a game most observers felt should have gone to the Warriors.

The next season the Toronto Sun picks the Warriors to finish second in the league. They win two, lose five and the slide begins. We come to 1985 and the team is on the verge of its first winless season ever, with virtually every game ending in a blowout score. Two key players, quarterback Tony lantorno and receiver Rob Kent have quit. Fan attendace is dismal. .The Warriors band is playing the “Mission: Impossible” theme with increasing frequency. Even long time die-hard Warrior, fans are starting to have their patience stretched to the limit. What is going on? Why can’t U W’produce a winner in football? For the answer to this, or at least a list of the problems, UW’s athletic director Carl Totzke and football coach Bob McKillop

have some answers. Both were eager to dispel one rumour that has been spreading across campus. L . McKillop: “At no time have I been approached by anyone in the administration of the university or the athleh department with regard to folding the football program. lt,.has never been a seriously discussed alternative.” Still, some Warriors are already mumbling about moving to other schools. Others who claim to be in the know insist that there is some sort of three year plan for football that’s about to run out. And a few people are calling for a new coach. Totzke observes that “Everyone can point to. the problems but not too many can point to the solutions.” As a public service to those who can’t yet point to the problems, let’s go over some of themajor ones pointed out by McKillop: We Don’t Get No Respect “Because of our record, people think we’re not serious about football,” McKillop said. “people think that UW is somehow the Alcatraz of Academics, that- nobody has any fun here and that you need a 94Y0 average to survive.” McKillop points out that he has a lot more success recruiting from outside of the K-W area, where Warrior football gets less publicity. “Of 15 or 20 top kids that we

Women’s Soccer by Allison McMurter It was deja vu for’ the women’s competitive soccer team from Conrad Grebel. For the second year in a row the combined team of players from Conrad Grebel and St. Pauls advanced to the championship game; and for the second year in a row they came out on the losing end. The loss, however, was not due to a lack of effort. Both teams, the Rejects who are now the Fall, 1985 Campus Rec. champs, and Conrad Grebel, are to be commended for their fine play. The spirits of both teams remained high as they battled in the cold, drizzling rain. The first half of the game ended in a l-l tie, and the score remained tied throughout the second half. In the first overtime period the score was yet unchanged. It was not until late in the second overtime period that Grebel scored on a penalty kick. At this point it looked as though the game was over, but only minutes later, the Rejects scored on their own penalty kick, forcing the game to be decided on penalty shots. Congratulations to the Rejects on their victory and thanks to all the players and referees of a terrific season.

In A legue, it was a tough decision between Engiholics and Wicked Foulers as both teams tied in records. Wicked Foulers narrowly took Old Boys 1-O and Engiholits pressed for a 2-O win over Kasha. Wicked Foulers and Engiholits also met, both knowing thatthe,y had to win to come out on top. Well, no decision could be made, a 2-2 draw resulted. In the three B leages, Axemen, Elect Few and Conrad Grebel narrowly came out on top in their respective divisions. In league action, Arthur’s Knights were up against Civil Serpents and dropped a 1-O decision to nestle into the second place (playoff divisicn.

And in those cases it was because of academics.” co-op “We do our best and get lots of cooperation from coordination with respect to finding local jobs for our players,” McKillop observed. “ But they’re no different from any other students.’ They want to take the best possible job too.” Athletic Department Rdsources Totzke said that UW has the most poorly financed athletic program in the province with the lowest ratio of staff persons and the lowest amount of facilities. This situation was not helped by the administration’s donation of Seagram Stadium to the city, which now’can’t be bothered to fix the lights. Most other *universities have more than one full-time person responsible for football during the season. WI-U, for instance, has four. UW has only head coach McKillop.

Men’s Hockey

by Barry Cross With bnly one week left in the regular season, several teams are dominating in, both A and B divisions. In the A league, The Casual Assasins and Suspended Animation both look tough. Last year’s champs, St. Jerome’s A are striving for mediocrity, and Ken Hetherington’s Morticians are sleeping in the basement. In Bl, The Outsiders are cleaning up, while The Real Mechoy and Generics battle for second. Twisted Systems are still winless (weekend games excluded). In B2, the closest division, Renison leads, while The Desparates, -The O-Team and the Blades follow closely on their tails. Karl Heinz, net minder for the O-Team (who have the lowest goals against in the B league) commented: “several of our players, includ: ing Shawn O’Toole, Kev Shanks, Barry Cross, and John Rogers, make up what 1 refer to as an unstoppable European unit.” In B3, The Timanou Tribe has finally won a few games to put some pressure on the division leading Majic Rats. This year’s disappointment, the Icecomers, are on the bottom. B4 is led by Guppies Gumbys and thier score-at-will player, Kevin Elop. All Elop had to say was, “You should have seen me play before 1 shaved off my beard.” In the cellar of B4 are Miami Ice and the WCF Martyrs.

Ball Hockev

Ein Prosit! With the Oktoberfest break beh%d us, Ball Hockey is once more in gear and while some teams came out at full speed, others sputtered and stalled. In A league, the Bombers continued to put the’ball in the net with an 1 l-5 win over SJC Blue Demons with Bryce Crouse notching a hat trick. Elsewhere Team Cannibos bounced back from a 3 goal deficit to beat Ray’s Essor 4-3 with T.C.‘s John Gimpel scoring 2 goals to lead the way while Who Cares and Civil Disobedience played to a 4-4 tie with W.C.‘s Dave Toomathand Joel Palmer and C.D.‘s Vine Bonnici each entering 2 goals apiece: In B league, offence was the name ofthe game and for some teams, defence a forgotten word. In the shootout of the week 4 Wops & 2 White Guys downed West 5 20-0, with Lucia Fortunato scoring 5 for the winners. In other action B leagues two leading scorers were both in gear as C. Vosquo scored 6 times to lead Flat Earth Society to a 17-3 triumph over SJC Gumbys. Paul Fraser also helped the Rats cause tallying 6 goals as well. Elsewhere, ChemCourage, paced by Doug Worthy’s four goal performance, downed the Matocists 9-1, and Celluoici Heroes outscored South E Rotics 8-2, with Mark Elliot scoring what proved to be the Heroes winning goal. Lastly, but not least, Tinamoy Tribe beat St. Paul’s 6-l. /

his assistant, he just had to stick his head around the corner to confer with me. Now, 1 have to phone Manulife, Laidlaw Waste Systems, Forest Heights Collegiate, the Innovation Centre, or Schneider’s Meats to get hold of my assistants,” said McKillop. Some Positive Aspects Western’s coach Larry Haylor observed after last week’s game that “Waterloo is a much better team than their record indicates.” McKillop is very impressed with the determination ,and continued enthusiasm of his troops in the face of constant blowouts. “One thing we have is an exceptional nucleus of players, as good, or-‘-better than any other team. Mike. Wright, Dave Shaw, Enzo DiMichelle, Dave Boston, Al Rothwell, Mike Martineau and many many more. No, make that ‘many more’. About five or six. But when these guys get hurt our secondary people aren’t the calibre that’s required. Yet they’re working their tails off and have improved immensely. They wouldn’t have that opportunity elsewhere,” McKillop boasted. “And I have the best group of assistant coaches that I’ve ever worked with.” The team does have a good core of young players. Rookie quarterback Mike Wright in particular has tremendous potential. McKillop notes that “If we can actively recruit guys of this year’s calibre, we will improve. But first we have to hang onto the players that we have. lantorno and Kent both quit the team after finding that, due to sub-par performances one week, they weren’t going to be starting next week. While this. “prima-donna” attitude can’t be tolerated, particularly from players, who had been counted on to play prime roles, it is symptomatic of some player dissent. One Warrior football veteran remarked that “Well, if you’re the boss of a company and one of your managers isn’t performing, what

- Imprint,

do you do?’ But that isn’t really an appropriate action here. The U W Warriors aren’t a pro franchise. Winning isn’t everything - it’s certainly the most visible measure of a team’s success, but Totzke points out that “If there are ten goals to a football program including physical fitness, leadership and so on - then winning is only one of them. And we’re probably suceeding in seven out of those ten areas.” Furthermore, you don’t just dump long-time hardworking UW employees because the team isn’t winning. Solutions, anybody? Solutions to these problems aren’t easy, but here’s a few suggestions. - Get the CIAU to institute Academic All-Canadian awards. this would provide some recognition to players at tough schools like Waterloo. - Somehow arrange to have at least one full-time assistant coach during football season. Having only one full-time person trying to run a football program is ridiculous. - Quit feuding with the rugby team. A series of Imprint columns written by a rugby coach last year which attacked the football team did nothing for morale. It’s bad enough that rugby games, which are reasonably successful in attracting fans, are scheduled simultaneously with football games, but when players on both teams scuffle with each other at Fed Hall, everybody loses. - Promotion. Only one game this year was promoted at all, and it actually drew 1200 enthusiastic fans. Have contests. Give stuff away. At least make posters to let people‘know when the games are. U W has most of the ingredients needed to be a football power, or at least a team that wins two or three games a year and occasionally makes the playoffs. A not bad core of players. A not bad coaching staff. A large student body. A reasonably good stadium, almost on campus. A band that, believe. it or not, is the envy of most other

schools. An athletic program that’s solid all around. It’s beed called a “sleeping giant”. But the final key remains to be found. Anybody out there got any ideas?
