The announcement by University of Toronto President George Connell took the 200 students by surprise. They had crowded into the hall expecting Connell to say he had found a way to end a %tudent boyeott sparked by discontent over optlon courses and the quahty of the faculty's leadership.

Davis - Lewis acid rain report:

Problem farI from being solved, say eprofs by Atul Nanda Imprint staff After nine months of negotiations between Canadian envoy William Davis and American counterpart Drew Lewis, observers were anticipating the birth of a trans-boundary agreement which wou!d lead to international control of acid rain. However, initial reviews from University;bf Waterloo environmentalists indicate that. the reco,mmenda’tions of the Davis-Lewis report fall well short of coming/to terms with the acid rain proqem in North America.

Rqbbie Keltn

Weller. He says the recommendations calling for an Ameiican commitment of $5 billion will be passed because it will not be “skin off anyone’s nose” to implement something that doesn’t specifically ask for anything to be done to reduce American emissions. Professors Robinson and Keith as well as Phil Weller agree that the new Ontario Liberal government is taking steps to reduce emissions of sulphur dioxide. Keith notes &at these reductions should have taken place long ago. By our previous inaction, Keith says, we gave the Americans an excuse, for inaction. He also questions if a 5Oo/ci‘reduction in emissions across Canada is sufficient. As well, Keith notes that there is no guarantee, nor ecological evidence, to prove that reductions of sulphur dioxide will do anything more than slow down the destruction of lakes and forests. Acid rain is produced when sulphur and nitrogen oxides are released as gases from ore-smelters, coal-fired generatihg stations, oil and gai refineries and automobiles. These pollutants are carried by winds thousands of miles from their original source, showing no respect for national, state or provincial boundaries. Eventually the nitrogen and sulphur gases combine with water vapour to form sulphuric and nitric acids, which are carried to earth in,rain and snow.

Davis, former Conservative premier of Ontario and American envoy Drew Lewis, former U.S. secretary of transportation, unveila their joint proposals on January -8, 1986 in Ottawa and Washington. The recommendations made by Davis and Lewis ask that the U.S. designate $5 billion over five years to develop and demonstrate new acid-rain pollution control technologies. The recommendations ask that the U.S. government commit half of the proposed $5 billion, providing that polluting American industries volunteer to participate and put forth the retiaining 50 per cent or $2.5 billion. The failure to include any reductions in sulphur dioxide emissions by the U.S. has brought criticism to the Davis-Lewis report, from U W Man-Environment professors Jim Robinson and Robbie Keith, as well as environmental consultant and WPIRG member Phil’ Weller. Keith stiys that Davis and Lewis set their sights on the wrong objectives. Instead of producing a report which would reduce American emissions of sulphur dioxide, the two envoys set out to produce a report they felt U.S. President Reagan would accept, noting his hard line stand against acid rain abatement. Robinson also echoes Keith’s criticisms, He feels that. from an academic approach, the recommendations are inadequate. However, Robinson syas that the recommendations were very good from a political standpoint. He notes that this is the first time that the American government has-publically admitted that acid, rain is a - problem. Also, the fact that these recommendations have public support from the U.S. coal and power inpustries indicates a good possibility that they will be accepted, acknowledges Robinson. “A commitment of money may be all that President Reagan will agree to at this time. If the recommendations.are approved, this could be the first in a series of stages to reach a more progressive report leading to action from the American companies to reduce emissions,” says Robinson. Phil Weller, a UW Man-Environment graduate and author of Acid Rain.: The Silent Crisis (available at WPIRG) is much more critical of the recommendations of the trans-boundary report. “All that this report asks the Americans fo do is take five more years and spend $5 billion to do initital research into acid rain and its effects. We (Canadians) already know the effects of acid rain, and we already have pollution control equipment available. This is yet another excuse for American inaction on the issue” states Weller. - “It is also a very poor excuse that these recommendations are all that could have been ‘sold’ to Reagan. Davis has done a disservice to sign on as a Canadian representative to a report that does not ask for any specific measures to be taken by the Americans,” contends Weller. He does not think it is Qery significant that this is the first time _ that the U.S. has publically admitted to acid rain being a problem. Everyone (Canadian and American) has been willing to acknowledge acid rain as an environmental problem, except Reagan, says

1994. This means that w;hin the next eight years these companies must collectively reduce their sulphur emissions by approximately 1 million tonnes. It is still uncertain if the U.S. Congress will commit to their recommended $2.5 billion share, due to a proposed law which requires Congress and the U.S. President to balance the budget by 1991. This would involve reducing a $200 billion federal deficit in five years. , Regardless of the problems surrounding the Davis-Lewis report, one thing is definitely certain - the acid rain cleanup in Canada and the U.S. is far from being accomplished.

New service provides resumes to businesses by Christine Fischer imprint staff High-tech is the word to describe the Campus Connections, a brand-new placement agency which operates ‘through databanks and microcomputers. Relatively inexpensive, this may be a wave of the future‘in employment searches. For $25 for the first six months, graduating students may have their complete resumes entered into a huge databank which may be accessed by prospective employers. All the employer has to do is enter the qualifications he/she needs, and from the data, the system comes up with names of those who have these qualifications. The employer can then make direct contact with those with the appropriate skills. What must the employer have to access this databank, how much does it cost him, and how many are likely to have the necessary system? According to Dale Richards, president of the Toronto-based company, all the employer has to have is a microcomputer, and a link with IP Sharp timesharing software. “Most companies already have links with IP Sharp because it is a databank with stock market and other types of pertinent information to most busi-

nesses,” Richards says. “The time an employer might spend using Campus Connections to search for an employee would generally be about 30 minutes. Since links with IP Sharp cost $1 per minute, $30 is considerably less than running an ad in alocal newspaper.” IP Sharp provides databank services to 48 countries around the world, so the exposure for the post-graduate student would certainly be widespread, Richards noted. Campus Connections has not yet had an “all-out” campaign, so they are not yet well known. They will be making a formal announcement at the end of January, says Richards. “We have already had about 100 students sign up for the program since December, so the respotlse seems to be very good. We will soon be approaching over *4000 businesses to make them aware of this service.” And the projected response from UW students? Says UW‘s Director of Co-ordination and Placement Jim Wilson, “I don’t think that this type of age-ncy (Campus Connections) will be necessary on our campus. We already have our own methods of placement in the co-op program.” ,

According to internationally sponsored research, American polluters are said to be responsible for more than half of the acid rain and snow that is falling on eastern Canada, killing aquatic life, stunting forest growth, corroding buildings and possibly affecting human health. Approximately 90,000 jobs ai-e at risk in eastern Canadian fisheries due to the loss of thousands of commercial fish as a result of acid rain. In 1985, the Canadian government introduced major programs to reduce Canadian polluters’ sulphur emissions by 50 percent within a decade. Ontario has often been regarded as the major emitter of sulphur pollutants in Canada. Therfore, Ontario’s provincial environment ministry has ordered the province’s largest polluters, INCO Ontario Hydro, Algoma Steel and Falconbridge Nickel to reduce their sulphur dioxide emissions by two-thirds by

“A aood mecaution” U

Safety van by Janice Nicholls Imprint staff

The Federation of Students, with the help of the University, recently began operating a “safety” van to provide students, particularly women, with free transportation home in the evenings. The suggestion for the van was made by UW planning students and brought to the Federation in late November by Martha Wright, Education Commissioner at the time, in response to the murder of UW student Shelley Ellison in Victoria Park last year. Angela Evans, the Federation’s Women’s Commissioner, says the safety van is “a good precaution to take to give women the option not to walk home.” However, she says without the figures on campus assaults it is difficult to tell whether the van will be effective. According to Sonny. Flanagan, Federation of Students president, the van was devised for three purposes: as a safe ride home for women, trasportation for Bombshelter and Fed Hall patrons who have been drinking, and as a general convenience to students. Three main areas were identified by Flanagan as key drop-off points: Sunnydale, Waterloo Square, and Keats Way. The route was drafted around these areas on quick moving streets to facilitate leaving on a regular basis. A map outlining the route is located at the Turnkey desk in the Campus Centre. While it is up to the discretion of the drivers

Flanagan noted it would be a shame for someone to risk a walk home because they could not afford to pay.

New rent registry to have legal rents on file by Peter Stathopulos Imprint staff

The provincial government of Ontario is in the process of establishing a rent registry that will compile and review the legal rent charges of all Ontario residential rental units. The

maximum rental charges will be based on those of July 1, 1985. Presently, there is a 4% ceiling on annual rental increases which is retroactive back to August 1, 1985. Previous to this, the legal ceiling increase was 6% per annum. If applicable, te-

nants may ask their landlord for a 2yo rebate per month. A UW Legal Resources Office notice states that the landlord has until February 14, 1986 to pay back the excessive rent, after which time, the tenant has the right to deduct the amount from their

next month’s rent. This 4% ceiling does not apply to a rental increase that has been autorized by the Residential Tenancy Commission. Such an increase may be justified by major renovations or structural change (such as a new

’ “We were confident the resolution would be popular, but 1 didn’t expect the over-whelming support it received,” said Paul Elliot, provincial affairs director of the UW Young Lib* erals. He attributed the resolution’s successful passage to “the genera1 feeling of all people at the meeting that incidental fees are

inconsistant with the liberal philosophy, since they can red uce accessibility to post-secondary education.” The Young Liberals of U W were represented by Paul Elliot, Paul Kellam (club president), Peter Starodub.

unions, management, and administration, voted last Wednesday to withdraw within one year the estimated $8-9 million it had invested in cqmpanies dealing with South Africa. Almost all York money linked to South Africa was contained in the one $180 million dollar pension fund. Companies in which the pension fund had invested since 1984 including Alcan, Cominco, Chase Manhattan, DeBeers,. Consolidated Mines, Falconbridge, Hudson’s Bay Mining and Smelting, IBM, Seagram’s and Xerox are all linked to South Africa. Yolk joined McGill to become the second Canadian university to toally divest as a protest against the apartheid policies of South Africa. The University of Toronto decided in December 1985 to divest only from Canadian and U.S. companies that failed to adhere to the federal government’s code of conduct for operating in South Africa. The York decision was made during a 45-minute closed discussion and must be approved by the pension fund-board of trustees. A member of the pension committee, faculty rep Robert Drummond, said, “my suspicion is that they’ll probably go along with it.” The vote count has been kept secret but Drummon said that a “large majoiity” of the six or seven members present voted in favour of divestment. Dissenters, he said, argued dikestment isn’t the most effective way of pressuring South Africa.

wall) which requires a lot of time and money to implement. Simple repairs, upkeep“ and minor renovations are not suitable reasons for an authorized rental increase above 4% per year. Any tenant wishing to verify the legal rent for his or her own unit could call the registry to find out, providing the unit has come under review before. The tenant may need actual proof (a lease) of both the previous and present rents- to bring about a rent review. For example, if a landlord had previously leased the unit for $400jmonth and now charges $500/ month, there would be a hearing and a subsequent decision in favour of either the tenant or landlord. In the case above, the tenant would obviously have the decsion in his or her favour. Illegally charged rents will now be considered an offence and compliance officers will investigate any complaints. It is important when talking

a&out housing rights to realize the differences between a tenant and a boarder. Tenants have exclusive possession of their own residence. It is a self-contained unit with its own key and the landlord is not allowed access unless he has permission of the tenant. A boarder, on the other hand, usually only leases a singleroom, but shares such things as a common kitchen and bathroom. A tenant has very strong rights under the Landlord- Tenants Act, but a boarder has relatively little, if any, protection of this kind. The R.T.C., however, is planning to bring boarders closer to par with the rights and priveleges of tenants. A “Housing Hotline” has been set up in Toronto to address tenants concerns (toll For free, l-800-387-9060). further information br legal help, contact the U W Legal Resources Office.

Imprint applies for fee increase by Mike Urlocker Imprint staff

A 75~ hike in Imprint fees is expected to be approved by the expected to be approved by the University’s Board of Cover. day, says editor Rick Nigol. The increase, which brings the refundable fee to $3 per semester, will offset the cost of new typesetting equipment to be purchased this year, as well

as increases in printing and supply costs since the current fee was set in 1981. Imprint fees are paid by approximately 25,000 students each year,accounting for 30 per cent of the newspaper’s income. Advertising fees, which account for the rest of the revenue, were increased by five per cent ‘in September, says business manager Janet Lawrence. _

Media’s perspective of space shuttle tragedy distorted “We interrupt our regularly scheduled broadcast to bring you the followingthe space shuttle Challenger has exploded on takeoff.” Seven people are dead and the news of it has pre-empted all broadcasts. I am shocked . . . North America, numb. When the news arriied, I was preparing an article on apartheid and the personal experiences of its atrocities as told by an Amnesty International guest speaker. All work on the article, however, stopped. After about 20 minutes though, I began to analyse this “tragedy.” Just what is it that makes this accident so horrendous? Initially, the deaths of the seven came to mind, but I,realized that this is but a sub-plot. Yes, people were killed, but then people (especially black South Africans) die every day without radio and television stations reporting instantly or with the same emotional intensity. The Globe and Mail of January 28 reports on page A- 10 that six Blacks were found burned to death in one of the “townsh’ips”, while “Canadians join memorial mass honouring victims of apartheid” appears courtesy of The Kitchener-Waterloo Record inlthe January 27 issue. O.K., maybe it was because the shuttle deaths were unexpected, maybe that’s it. Again, NO, lots of unexpected deaths, even of white North Americans, occur every day without so much, if any, fanfare. And just why should the unexpected receive top billing. The daily, institutionalized murders should be kept in the forefront of our press and psyche. Their total weight should be immense, and action - other than running from or ignoring the problem taken. So then, just what is it that made these deaths so significant. What I believe it really comes down to is that 1) the

event was very.well telecast -if a tree falls in the middle of the forest and the media is not there, who cares?; 2) these seven frail humans had no way of getting out of the situaton once things started to go wrong; and most importantly 3) it marked the death of (North American) liberation. For many, the space program has meant a possible liberation from Earth’s confines and from human ignorancti.. Colonies would be then be formed and the answers to the questions regarding this galaxy’s origins revealed (unless you are a fervent Creationist). The explosion destroyed, for those moments, our dreams of freedom. We are chained and bound to Earth. Does any of this make much sense? Again, I would have to say NO. “Liberation” for a few (wealthy North Americans) has meant a perpetuation of poverty and misery for the majority. The billions of dollars and years of scientific expertise expended could have been used for ending starvation and death through water-borne diseases. Live Aid for Africa raises $90 million and is hailed as a major humanitarian effort; one space shuttle costs $1.2 BILLION in construction costs alone, and its space-age metals come from, where else, South Africa. “We’ll get your labour for nothing, you get your kicks (in the head) for free.” This psychic grounding should force us to look at the more pressing scientific and political problems here on Earth. Freedom from the world is not going to mean freedom for the world. By the way, page A-l 0 of the January 27 Record reports “10,000 feared dead” (in South Yemen). What

reference to Mr. Centa by name. As Imprint was not informed prior to the event that there was to be no press coverage we considered the edited article that was printed to be a reasonable compromise. Mr. Centa did not see it this way and complained to the Federation of Students. Mr. Centa sees histalks as being private lectures and thus avoids all media coverage. Even if it is possible to hold a “private lecture” I do not think a lecture advertised in a newspaper, promoted on posters and open to anyone who chooses to attend, fits any reasonable definition of a private lecture. My edition of the Oxford Dictionary defines private as being kept or removed from public knowledge, or, not open to the public. Mr. Centa has chosen to speak on a subject of great public interest and, consequently, his-lectures are of interest to the press who are attempting to inform the public on subjects of interest and concern. It is ironic that Mr. *Centa should speak at a university that, presumably, mdlvlduals attend to increase their knowledge. If Mr. Centa were truly concerned for his life then he would not give lectures that have been promoted campuswide. To restrict access to information on this matter is little better in principle than to perpetrate the act in the first place. Simon

The speaker gave a one-night presentation on this subject last term and has been invited back by the Federation of Students to give a more detailed presentation of this material. The information and conctusions presented by this speaker will not, however, be reported in this publication or if Mr. Centa has his way, any of the news media. Mr. Centa claims that 189 people who have researched the Kennedy assassination have died suspiciously since 1963. He claims that excessive media exposure could be fatal to himself. As a condition of Mr. Centa ieturning to campus this term, Imprint ;has agreed not to report this event. Last term when Mr. Centa spoke, public interest was sufficient to more than fill one of the large lecture theatres in the Math and Computer building.

One female said something along the lines of “Oh well, what would you expect from a rugby player.” This excited one player so badly that he thought he was George “The Animal” Steele and, he put his head through the wall, not once, but three times. What a shame. Luckily the poor childeonly came out of the ordeal with a scratch, he could have been terribly injured. Do you see now Carol what I am trying to tell you‘? Weget no respect. Why do some people not like us? Well, let’s look into that. First, we (some of us) have trouble getting dates. This makes us unequal to the real men on campus (you studs). But we make up for it by drinking. Secondly, we sometimes get rowdy and thrown out of bars in thearea just for taking our clothes off! It gets hot in those places you know! 1 think they want us to be tougher though because Paul “One Punch” Coburn, got kicked out for getting beaten up, not one night - the whole year. But, we make up for that in drinking too. ’ Thirdly, we win most of our games, and the athletic department (who, by the way 1 think is using athletics in this school as a tax shelter, or to launder money for the underworld, for obvious reasons) does not like us. Hmm! Very interesting. But, we make up for that in drinking. So, Carol, now you may see what 1 am up to (almost six feet). 1 -want to thank you Carol, not for finding our long lost banner, but for running that ad to make us look good. Thanks Carol, you are a pal! For once, someone like yourself respects us and may even like us. It’s a good feeling (4th best). Maybe now that we have come out of the closet, people will understand us. Get drunk and be somebody! Billy Bonehead Propped Forward

I’m all donated out To the editor: It would appear that everyone is getting into the act of extra fees. As well as the well-known computer fee, the Gods of sweat&strain at the PAC are gouging our pockets as badly as Doug and the boys at the bureaucracy control. Yes, the newly installed fee for the use of a cereal-box sized locker at the PAC wasn’t enough. As of January 27, 1986, it is now necessary to rent a large locker for daily use. These lockers were previously available for short term use by casual users of the PAC. In effect, what they have created is a PAC users’ fee, for facilities that are already covered by a compulsory athletic fee payable at tuition time. It would appear that while we are here there is not much lowly undergrads can do about these incessant forms of extortion, but I can hardly wait for the-first request for donations to roll through the door once I’m an alumni. Sorry UW, after so many compulsory fees, I’m all donated out. Who knows, maybe there’ll be an alumni fee instated. After all, you can’t let a good thing get away,.can you? Michael Carter _

“If you liked Club Med, you’ll love Hedonism Il.” So the sign read, and there were probably several hundred this week in Toron-to who booked flights for the “February trial-pak.” Closer to home, here in K-W, with the temperature plummeting, plus the wind-chill factor, and the top-of-your-headhole ready to blow open with each step nearer the class you haven’t prepared for, you wonder ‘Is it worth it?’ And a small, still voice within says ‘Certainly not.’ We’ll call this state the ‘February blahs!’ What do you do‘? a) soldier on; b) pack it in; c) plan a reading week ski trip; d) get drunk; e) read a book; f) all of the above, and then some?

To the editor: Monday of this week; the PAC locker fee went into effect and many students had to pay a $1 user fee to use a day-locker (long locker). This new user fee came as an unpleasant surprise. Its institution seemed arbitrary and under unclear pretenses. Students were told at the tote desk that the reason for the fee was to prevent people from leaving their own locks on the day-lockers all dayor ’ overnight. Carl Totzke, Athletic Director, confirmed that this was one of the reasons, but that the charge for day-lockers was in fact a user fee intended to generate revenu e. According the. the A thletic Department, the provision of lot kers 1s no longer a service it is able to provide free to the students. We realize the Athletic Department has ,legitimate financial needs. H owever, we are unhappy. This user fee came as a sudden _ surprise. Renting a locker for an hour costs more than parking a car for a day. Does ihis mean individual departments can now institute a user fee whenever they are short of funds‘? This issue should be clarified. We are asking those candidates running for the position of Federation President to indicate their stand on the issue of the PAC user fee. Students need protection against the threat of arbitrary user fees. Has a precedent been set‘? A clear statement of policy from the University on the right of individual departments to institute similar fees is needed. Louis Nel (Math) Dennis Vadura (MGth) Paul Van Oorschot (Math)

It is a pity that the most outrageous and oversimplified rhetoric often requires the longest and driest refutation, but 1 feel compelled, nonetheless, to respond. Mr. Hobson accuses the Mossad, “the Israeli secret police” (The Mossad is strictly a foreign intelligence-gathering organization with no internal security duties), of conducting “a little massacre in Lebanon a couple of years ago,” by which he may or may not mean to refer to the massacres performed by Maronite Christian militiamen at the Sabra and Shatila camps in 1982 (some Israeli commanders lost their jobs simply for failing to intervene to stop them, No Israeli has ever been accused of particimting). Another issue brought up by Mr: Hobson, that of the accusations of “brutality, illegal detention,, and torture” made by Amnesty International, must be viewed in light of Al’s obligation to report any allegations of torture it receives (Britain, for instance, has been accused by Al of using torture against suspected IRA terrorists in Northern ireland). Canada, as well, is listed in the same report cited by Mr. Hobson, and accused of mistreatment of prisoners in a particular Canadian prison. As for the description’of Israel as a “racist regime” with a “large fascistic feeling,” such outpourings of vaguely malicious buzzwords do not change the simple fact that Israel is a parliamentary demo-

Here’s what 1 do: 1 think of Albert Johnson. In the winter of 193 l-‘32, Johnson (who had gone into the Rat River delta of the northern Yukon@vas living peaceably in a cabin he had built, when two Mounties came to the door. He was a loner, a misfit, some say he was mad -- in any event, he didn’t let them in. A few days later they came back, and tried-to force an entry. Johnson shot one -- not to kill him,just to wound him -- and the chase was on. It was the biggest manhunt in Canadian history: posse after posse of Mounties and trappers on dog-sleds, with lndian and Eskimo trackers, equipped with two-way radio and even an airplane. First they surrounded, then dynamited h?s cabin; they pursued

cracy as healthy as any in Europe or North America, with full civil liberties, press and speech freedoms, and unfettered political debate. The countries which routinely berate Israel for racism and fascism in U.N. meetings are hardly credible accusers; they have barely a civil liberty among them, being mostly military or militarily-supported dictatorships. Many are themselves major oppressors of minority (and sometimes majority) ethnic groups. It is, however, Mr. Hobson’s suggestion that there is a “smear campaign of Zionists who wish to discredit PLO leader Yasser Arafat” which demonstrates the bizarre twist his thinking has taken. He seems to think that violence against innocent civilians (such as terrorism) is no different from violence in defence of * mnocent civilians (such as a nation’s military self-defence). Therefore, he reasons, the PLO are perfectly justified in killing Israeli women and children, as (he freely admits) they wish (and frequently attempt) to do. In fact, he implies, theywould be wildly popular the world over had a “smear campaign” not accused them (quite carrectly, in fact) of terrorism against OTHER nations’ women and children. 1 can only respond with amazement at such a horrifying display of callousness in the face of brutality, and with confidence that Imprint readers, for the most part, reject his views.

him into the foothills of the Richardson Mountains. Johnson eluded them. Again and again they boxed him in, but he outfoxed and outfought them, finally killing one (though he could have killed many) In temperatures plummeting to -75 F., without food, without fire, without human precedent, he crossed the Richardson Mountains in winter, a feat which even the Indian trackers thought impossible. He was spotted, finally, on the other side . .. the full story can be found in Trapper (Doubleday, 1981; rpt. Avon, 1983) . .. the Mounties got their man, or what was left of him, on February 17, 1932. Whenever 1 get the “February blahs” I think of Johnson on the mountain . .. or of John Hornby plunging his bare hands into an ice-hole of the Thelon River in the barrengrounds in the winter of 1927, removing Arctic char from the gill-net and ptarmigan from the bird-net (at temperatures ranging from -50 to -70 degrees F.), in an unsuccessful effort to keep his two companions, both’ greenhorns, alive. .. .. Somehow these images, and those of certain landscapes -Great Slave Lake in winter, Black Tusk in .the Coastal Mountain range -- make winter here at Waterloo seem cozy, . comfy, and easy as Club Med, or Hedonism 11.

still “Bass Ackwards” by Doug Thompson ,There has been a blistering wealth of verbal response to my editorial of Jan. I7 (“U W’s tactics bass ackwards”). 1 think I must have hit a nerve. The editorial called into question the wisdom and effectiveness of U W’s policy of threatening and bullying students with computer fees, among other things, in order to improve the public image of universities, and make increased government funding more likely. In doing so, it called into question the honesty and integrity of U W’s President Douglas Wright who says on Monday “I won’t register you if you don’t pay the computer fee” and on Thursday, after the threat had succeeded in intimidating most people into paying, says, “Aw shucks, well, I’m a nice guy, 1’11 register you after all.” The editorial suggested that education deserved support on grounds other than its ability to reap greater riches, either for individuals or the country as a whole. By this 1 did not mean that there is anything wrong with job-training, but -that education is more than just job-training, and that to sell this on the basis that Canada is a Third World impoverished country is somewhat questionable, if not incredible. Besides, nobody will believe it.-Canada is not, David Suzuki notwithstanding, a Third World country. To prove this point, 1 suggest that doubters simply visit any bona fide Third World country - or just take a course... There are many who come to university in order to get a better job. It’s a sensible thing to do, hardly a virtue. Cuhure is built of something more than people simply doing what makes money. Not that I’m condemning making a buck. Heck, 1 work for a living -- and I even work with computers! But I am troubled when people, and such human values as justice, compassion, mercy, responsibility and plain common sense get pushed right out of sight in the eagerness to serve the money machine. When people become an object in the service of the machine, rather than the end whose interest the machine must be made to serve -- then something is terribly wrong. To say that is not to suggest either communism, nor that people shouldn’t continue to be trained to operate computers. To say that is to say that the balance has been disrupted and a change in priorities has become urgent. If the priority of the university is not to serve students (giving them real education, as well as job skills), and if it is not to serve the public (by assuring universal accessibility and improved access to the under-represented poor) what is its priority’? To serve‘only the competitive edge of a nation already among the world’s most wealthy and industrialized? Has it not then ceased to have any politically legitimate clarm to public finance? Has it not become, at that point, simply a hand-maiden of private enterprise which would be more fairly financed by the businesses who derive the benefit? Is it, in Doug Wright’s vision, just subsidized job training for IBM and lmperial Oil? And why should 1, the taxpayer, subsidize them’? Yes, it is good to train people for jobs, but it is not good enough! If the university cannot have faith in its own higher calling, and advocate persuasively, and without apology, the benefits of knowledge (as opposed to information), and culture (as opposed to television), and Shakespeare (as opposed to comic books), and history (as opposed to Hogan’s Heroes), and political insight (as opposed to gimme, gimme, gimme), and integrity (as opposed to intimidation), and courage (as opposed to “Hey guy. let somebody else fight this one”), and religion (as opposed to cults), and critical intelligence (as opposed to “Thompson must be a Commie”), and scholarship (as opposed to “Hey di.d you hear . ..I!“). and the thousands of other virtues of “know what” -- to quote U W’s Dr. Westhues -- as opposed to “know how”; the Western Civilization faces a bleak future. And education will be more and more seen as a dark and sinister force acting to destroy human freedom and chain the human spirit to the machine. And that, friends, won’t sell! But then, 1 suppose I must be a bit naive to be surprised by this university’s attitude toward education. President Wright is a well-trained engineer. However, is he educated in the truest sense? He may be able to intimidate most of his students, but 1 have this funny feeling neither the Ontario public nor the Ontario government will be such a pushover. So yes, this makes U W’s policy bass ackwardsand represents a profound misunderstanding of what the word “university” has traditionally meant.

Pageant decision awaited Open Letter to Dr. Doug Wright Dear Dr. Wright Over the past six months, members of the University community have debated the beauty pageant issue. The debate centres on two questions: is the Miss Oktoberfest Beauty Pageant sexist? and, should the University of Waterloo rent theatre space to sexist events? The University community is still very concerned about this issue and feels that it should not be forgottenjust because October is past. We are awaiting your decision on February 4th at the Board of Governors Meeting with much interest. In meeting with you last fall, you sympathized strongly with our understanding of the sexism inherent in the beauty pageant. It is also apparent that you recognized the sexism promulgated in the University of Waterloo engineers’ paper because your administration requested that Enginews change its content. Since your administration is willing to take measures to restrict sexist publications and some events (the “kiddie” pageant, and strippers hired by the Engineers), on campus. it is obvious that a policy is required to mamtam consistency. We feel that it is in the best interest of the University to refuse rental space to beauty pageants henceforth. Sincerely, ’ Janet Bate, Angela Evans, Women’s Commissioner Caroline White, Pat Aplevich, Professional Women’s Association All concerned -individuals can attend this Board of Governors Meeting, Tuesday, Feb. 4th at 4:3O pm. in NH_3004.

gegistrar’s computers in deep trouble . with respect- to their, averages To the editor: OK, so I had a bad year bat k in ‘84 and the “Office Of The Registrar’s” computer executed the necessary procedures and closed a few doors in my academic career. That was expected and reasonable; there is no reason in slaving over a program you are not willing to perform well in. Having lost the battle but not the war, 1 am back and doing well at a different level in my program of study. But the computer doesnot know that. (1 use “computer” because it is generic and does not point the finger at any humans, whom we all know are incapable of error,or oversight.) You see, the computer -thinks 1 am in the same level as last year. And even though my average is acceptable-for what 1 am presently studying, the computer re-executed those same necessary procedures and turfed me out again! The letter accompanying my grade report started like this .. . “We regret to inform you that, in view of your recent academic performance, you no longer qualify to register . ..” By this time, 1 was coughing up blood. 1 had some Valium. calmed down, looked at my average, and figured this could not apply to me. The whole mess is straightened out now, thanks to the Registrar,

but here was this little comment at the bottom of my grade report that infuriated me, even though it did not apply to me and my performance. It said, and 1 quote, “YOU’RE IN DEEP TROUBLE WITH RESPECT TO YOUR AVERAGES.” Gee, thanks for the pat on the back. 1 think this is a little sarcastic and uncalled for. There is no need to get caustic about the matter. What comment do you get if you really screw up . .. “Get lost, buddy”or maybe ,.. “Hey pal, you’re up shit creek without a paddle.” For those who did not do so well and got that comment, 1 share your opinion that the computer is a smartass, and 1hope that in the future it will treat you with respect you deserve as a cash-paying customer of this institution. The computer should stick to being its usual cold and concise self. 1 would rather be treated asjust another number than be derided by some acrimonious peice of metal. If it must have some characteristics, then make it compassionate rather than being a jerk. TO the office staff at Needles Hall, thanks for the fast clean up, but hey . .. a little professionalism, please. Ray- Roberts Math B/A 2B

Feb. 7: calling for make-up boycott To the Editor: Having been an editor of Enginews, 1 must express my gratitude to the women’s movement. The energy that emanates from the topic of equality could power a small city, and when focused on individuals or small groups, has the magic power to make people look beyond themselves. Although I’ve always been .an avid supporter of the superficial aspects #of women’s rights, when this energy was focused on me, it allowed me to see, and more importantly, think about the governing philosophies. Thcsubconsdtouseffects of sexist material on males are a great stumbling block in the path to true equality. In my informal studies, however, there has been a nagging thought that the subconscious attitudes of women are a far larger block. There is a small, very vocal, group here on campus who seem to believe that they speak for all women (I met one the other day, selling raffle tickets in a miniskirt). I’m sure that superficially, most women will agree with this group (though perhaps not with some of their tactics). 1 wonder though . . .

My largest nagging thought is based on make-up. One girl explained to me that women wear cosmetics to help them feel good about themselves, to exude professionalism and self-confidence. 1 can’t agree, because men don’t. We dress nicely, and are well groomed when we wish these feeling of self assurance, but we don’t accentuate superficial traits to boost our morale. If women could use the magic power to find postive feelings without make-up, it would eliminate a major destructive element in the subconscious attitudes of men. Every woman who wears make-up is making herself into an ornament that men will ogle, whether she likes it or not. 1 hereby suggest that on Friday, February.7th, we have a campuswide boycott on cosmetics. Wake up in the morning, groom yourselves well and dress nicely, sit down in front of your mirror, and think about why you should or shouldn’t wear make-up. Prove to me that your agreement with equality is more than superficial. Tom Fulton 4B Mechanical Engineering

Enginews not -the issue, but sexism is To the editor: Once again there is controversy over Enginews. Many people banter the ter ‘rn sexism about without really understanding what the term means. Women want legal, social and economic equality. Sexism thwarts this goal. How does this relate to Enginews? Anything that perpetuates the stereotype of women being less than equal and confirms people’s (notice that includes women and men) continuing belief in the stereotype is harmful. Trivializing through humour (?) issues snch as child abuse and rape makes them seem unreal and unimportant. Tradition is no excuse for producing,

material that is tantamount to hate literature. Making Carol Fletcher and her tactics (or lack of tact) the focus of the issue is distracting. The staff of Enginews was given the opportunity to change their paper; they received the opinion of both students and administration on what they considered objectionable. The death of Enginews can be laid only at the feet of those involved in the paper who refused to wake up and realize the seriousness of the issues.. Angela Moore 4A Co-op Psychology.

Federation Hall\ fee ,won’t get you in . To the editor: Shouldn’t all students who pay the Federation Hall fee get in free? After all, its the student’s pub and they’re paying for it. This is not the case. Anyone who gets back their $13.75 separate Federation of Students fee has to pay extra to enter Fed Hall. Oh, 1 can understand this, if the Federation has arranged for a band to play, but- I’m talking about regular nights. I asked Federation President Sonny Flanagan about this. He said since the Federation runs the hall, extra money must be contributed “from non-Feds. That is, non-Feds need to support the bartenders, waiters, waitresses, and cook by paying a dollar at the door. Can you believe that they would otherwise lose money? No, neither can

1. So, there you have it. The separate, compulsory $7.50 fee you pay for Federation Hall allows you to look at it from the outside. Isn’t it about time the Federation issued a special card to the non-Fed, but Fed Hall supporters? Federation of Student fee refunds may be obtained from their office in the CC providing you’re there between 9:30 and 11:30 or between 2:30 and 4:00 during the first three weeks of term. So, if you’re not a big Fed user, get your fee back during these long 3 l/2 hours next term and voice your complaint. L. Madsen Elec. Eng, 4th year

FORUM, Put yourself on other side of desk

To the editor: 1 am writing in response to last week’s letter bv Angela Googlt and in defence of the secretaries in .the Federation of Students office. First of all, may 1 say that 1 have total sympathy for Googlt and the fact that she wasn’t able to get creamy paper for her resume. Services such as WORDS and others provided by the Federation Office are a necessity and are generally run with efficiency. There are thousands of students who use these services term after term and find no fault with them. The efficiency of these services depends on the two secretaries in question and how they co-ordinate the activities of the students while they are using the office and the services provided. It is unfortunate that some students feel that this efficient service isn’t enough-. Some students still need a ‘please’, ‘thank-you’ and a smile like your mother gave when you used to eat all you ‘veggies’. Can anyone really blame these secretaries for being slightly “short-tempered” when students submit them to a constant barrage of asinine questions day after day. I grant you that they should try to be as pleasant as possible, but the key phrase is “as possible”. The secretaries are very much human.

Military To the editor:

Imprint; FridejcJanyary

I’m sure if Ms. Googlt were only to stand in the office for a short period of time she would understand what I’m referring to. Picture your own response when you take time to post a sign that reads “Every Single Fed Bus Ticket Sold Out”,and then several students inquire if you are really sure that all tickets are gone. Situations such as this can be very frustrating. A second and even more frustrating situation occurs when the secretaries are used as an information service. You too would be frustrated when asked “Where the Campus Centre is?’ or “W here’s the Math and Computer Building‘?” In no way am 1 suggesting that these secretaries are perfect. It appears that they are just two secretaries trying to do their job. When the services are being provided efficiently by the Federation, why should we, as the student body, be so critical of an undeserved “please*’ or “thank-you”. Next time we use the Federation Office we might think of what we are saying first and put ourselves on the other side of the desk. Bill Beldham 3rd Yr. Geography P.S. I’m sure your prospective employer will hire you Angela, regardless of the colour of your resume.

I wish to comment on the letter of Greg Hobson that appeared in the last issue of Imprint. Mr. Hobson makes good points about the right of Palestinian people to fight for their land and freedom and also, that in the past, Israeli armed groups participated in terrorist actions or allowed themto occur. However, I don‘t think these are reasons to accept so-called military actions agaitist innocent, unarmed people in any place of the world, not even those considered by Mr. krafat as internal targets.. In this point, the similarity between the PLO or other Palestinian armed groups and the Swiss army, or any other armed forces that claim to represent a country, vanishes. It is a pity that the PLO and other Palestinian groups had ch\oscn

to attack innocent civilians as a way to fight and that people like Mr. Hobson consider that as valid. Juan A. Gonzalez Systems Design

31, j’s86 -

When Dale Spender first told her publisher she planned to write a book on women’s thought from Aphra Behn (I) onwards, he responded, “Oh, that’11 be a thin book.” Women of ‘Ideas (and what men have done to them) is anything but a thin book. It runs to eight hundred pages, and Spender herself says “My research for women of the past has not been exhaustive and my coverage does not begin to be comprehensive” (Women of ideas, p. 19). If eight hundred pages of a concise, well-written representation of women’s thought over the past three hundred years is not comprehensive, then we have generations of catching up to do. And Spender is by l no means the first or only feminist historian to attempt to reconstruct women’s history. In 1946, Mary Ritter Beard made the same attempt, in Women as Force in History. In this book Beard demonstrates that women have not always and everywhere been subject to men, as many of us have grown to believe. Some of the more famous examples of women in history -- Joan of Arc, Florence Nightingale, Marie Curie, Laura Secord (Canadian content) - might have led us to the conclusion that other women also participated actively in world history. Instead, we’ve been taught to believe that these women were isolated examples, almost token men. But Beard shows that these famous women were not isolated examples of what “exceptional” women can do, that many women have been active and influential in business, in the arts, in politics, in the church, in science, in all sorts of endeavours. What is shocking is not so much that they existed, but that we don’t know about them! Women inhabit only minute portions of standard history texts. Why‘? One argument, and 1 think it has its validity, is that historians have overwhelmingly been male, and their culturally-induced bias is toward male acheivements. Those same historians also denounce women historians and their histories of women either by not bothering to read them carefully in the first place, by attacking the women instead of her work, or by reviewing her work as unscholarly, illogical or poorly written, without bothering to deal with her ideas. (Dale Spender gives what I consider to be quite conclusive evidence for this systematic erasure of women and women historians throughout history.) Mary Beard is a case in point. The publication of Women as Force in History prompted one reviewer to write that it appeared “reasonable to prophesy that no sound historians of the future will neglect the role of women, as was done in the past”(2). Yet history texts written since then have shown little improvement in the representation of women, and Beard’s book itself has been relegated to the back shelves until very recently. Fifty years before Beard published Women as Force, Matilda Joslyn Gage also wrote and spoke of women’s.ordinary and extraordinary achievements throughout history. Gage cites the example of women such as Sappho (C. 600 B.C.), “the Tenth Muse,” Mary Cunity, a sixteenth century astronomer, Lucretia Corano; a seventeenth century scientist in Venice, and Mary Somerville, an eighteenth century selftaught mathematician, whose work, The Mechanisms of the Heavens became a required text at Cambridge (an institution she was not allowed to attend), as only a few of the lesser recognized yet important women in history. But Gage’s work, also, has only recently been rediscovered. Both Beard and Gage showed the most simplistic (and probably most often used ) excuse for keeping women “in their place,” the lame phrase “But that’s the way it’s always been,” is a lie. And both thought that proving the falsehood of this excuse would invest women with a sense of their past and present power. Women have demonstrated that even when barred from formal education, even when we have been told that it was next to impossible for women to do anything but bear and raise children, women HAVE done amazing things, have written, studied, painted, built, and developed mathematical theses. If women in the past have overcome what appeared to us to be insurmountable odds, we, today, with much more working for us, can accomplish anything we want. We can take power, define our own power, question historical notions of what is important, and question history itself. Yet seeing what has happened to Matilda Joslyn Gage, Mary Ritter Beard, and many, many others, we must not be lulled into a sense of false security.

Frank Epp 19294986. Distinguished professor, pastor, journalist, historian, politician, peace activist and college president Frank Epp died January 22 at the age of 56. He was a professor at U W since 197 1. University flags flew at half-mast to mark Epp’s death. He had undergone two heart operations and was about to proceed with a third when he died of heart failure. Epp was born in Manitoba in 1929 as the third son of 12 children born to Russian Mennonite immigrants. He graduated from teacher’s college in Vancouver, and subsequently obtained five degrees (in theology, journalism, social sciences and history, including an honorary doctorate,) from colleges and universities in Manitoba, Minnesota and Kansas. As a journalist experienced in newspaper reporting and radio broadcasting, Frank Epp was a founding editor for both the Canadian ‘Mennonite and The Mennonite Reporter. After serving as an ordained pastor of Mennonite congregations in Ottawa, Minneapolis, Altona, and Winnipeg, Epp became one of the founding members of the Mennonite Central Committee, an international relief and development agency supported by the Mennonite Church of North America. He was also chairperson of MCC Peace Section from 1979-1985. Epp played major roles as a supporter of the World Federalists and the United Nations Association. He traveled widely as a journalist’and researcher on fact-finding missions to Asia, Latin America, Europe and particularly the Middle East. On the lattter, he wrote a number of, internationally respected books, Whose Land is Palestine?, The Palestinians: Portrait of a People in Conflict and The Israelis. Among his 12 other books he wrote: Mennonitesin Canada, 1786-1920: the History of a Separate People, and Mennonites in Canada, 1920-1940: A People’s Struggle for Survival. He had been working on a third volume for the series before his death. In 1978 Epp fought and won a highly-contested race for the federal Liberal nomination for the riding of Waterloo. He was defeated in 1979 as the Liberals lost the election nationally. During

thesame year, on behalf of MCC, Frank Epp successfully opposed then Prime Minister Joe Clark’s proposal to move Canada’s lsraeli embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Again, after a very competitive nomination in 1980, Epp lost the election by a narrow margin to PC Walter McLean. Epp later served on the federal government’s Canadian consultative committee on multiculturalism. Previously a lecturer at the University of Ottawa, Epp came to Conrad Grebel ‘College in 1971 and taught courses in Mennonite history, Canadian minorities, peace and conflict studies, and the Middle East. From 1973, with overwhelming faculty support, Frank Epp succeeded Winfield Fretz as president of the college. Epp’s two terms of office from ‘73 to ‘79 were marked by major expansions of classrooms, office, library and archive facilities. Under his presidency, the college say significant growth in enrolment and program inititatives such as the establishment of the college’s Peace and Conflict Studies programme. Rodney Sawatsky, the acting president of the college said, “We pay tribute to one who had a vision for the possibilities of this college, and gave many intense years of energy and time to help build the faculty and the program of Conrad Grebel College”. For the many who knew Frank, he will be dearly remembered. Professor Epp was one who pas,sionately loved teaching. He saw it as a vital means to communicate and pass on his personal experience and wisdom. In an unpeaceful world, Frank had the courage and determination to dedicate himself to the cause of peacemaking over a lifetime. Frank Epp inspired us with his deep insight, energy and vision; a vision which challeneged each and every one of us to not only dream our own dreams, but to live them. We who loved Frank Epp became a part of his circle of friendship around the world. For’this reason, his legacy and vision will continue beyond to the benefit of all. Frank Epp is survived by his wife Helen, a social worker at the House of Friendship, in Kitchener; his three daughters, Marianne Coleman, Esther Epp-Tiessen and Marlene Epp; seven brothers, five sisters and three grandchildren.

l!@e&iah: topic for dialogue by Marie Sedivy Imprint staff Is Jesus the Messiah? This’ was the question dealt with by Rabbi I Rosensweig and Christian theologian Dr. C Pinnock on Wednesday, January 22 in a Jewish-Christian dialogue co-sponsored by the Waterloo Christian Fellowship and the Jewish Students Association. First to speak was Rabbi Rosensweig. Emphasizing the history of his peoples, he spoke of Jewish beliefs regarding the Messiah.. Y Rosensweig stated that the concept of a Messiah was a Jewish concept. Jews look forward to better times and a better future, said Rosensweig. They see the messianic period as happening here on earth, and regard the Messiah’s mission in terms of a political saving, bringing peace to Israel. This Messiah is to be a somewhat political figure.

Jewish messiah is political According to the Jewish Scriptures, Rosensweig noted, the Messiah is to be descended from King David through his father. In addition, the Jewish peoples do not see the Messiah as a divine being,\ but rather as a mere, mortal human who will be King of Israel and who will be succeeded by his sons. Jews expect to recognize the Messiah, said Rosensweig, through his fulfillment of prophecies: an end to all war, an end to all evils, and an abundance of everything. The Messiah, however, being only human, will not be responsible for these miracles; he will usher in the messianic age, but the fulfillment will come from God. Rosensweig made no attempt to place Jesus into this scheme. In fact, he did not once’mention Jesus directly throughout his entire presentation. Pinnock, in his presentation, emphasized what the two religions

have in common. He focused on points such as the similarity in the messianic doctrines of the two religions, on the fact that Jesus was a Jew, and that Christianity stems from Judaism.

Contentious issues avoided Pinnock continued, saying that the ancient Jews did expect the Messiah to be divine in nature,, and not merely human. He also stated that Jesus saw his teachings as fulfilling the Jewish scriptures and that God validated Jesus’ claims by raising him from the dead. While the fullness of redemption is still to ‘come, Christians consider it to have.been inaugerated by the birth of Christ. Pinnock went on to say that the dialogue between Christians and Jews was improving, and that he, personally, felt heartened by the new interest in Jesus the Jew, by the Jewish people. Rosensweig, however, cautioned against over-emphasizing the similarities, pointing out that Judaism and Christianity are two separate religions and that the divisions are real. Pinnock responded by saying that stressing the differences is pessimist?. Both men seemed fearful of saying anything with which the other might strongly disagree or by which the other might be offended. Thus, Rosensweig focused on Jewish history and basic elements of the Jewish faith, excluding Jesus from hisdiscussion. The Christian theologian stressed the common ground between the two religions rather than illustrating how, according to Christianity, Jesus does in fact fulfil1 many of the characteristics of a Jewish Messiah. Perhaps the most relevant statement came from a member of the audience during the question period. He pointed out that Jews claim,to be a “chosen race” and that Christians are predominantly white and from the more industrialized countries. Rather than spending time discussing ideologies, the student suggested that more should be done in order to ensure justice and equity throughout .the world.

U W researcher developing expert system:

Diagnosing learning ‘disabilities . e by Grace Schmidt Imprint staff The term “expert systems,” says Marlene Jones, a U W computer scientist, “seems to be a phrase which has unfortunately caught on, although there are relatively few expert systems m computer software today.” Jones is developing an “expert system” to assess children with learning disabilities. Jones is a graduate from the U of T with her doctorate in computer science. She completed her Master’s degree in Special Education at the University of Saskatchewan. Her interest in children with learning disabilities, such as reading problems, dyslexia and autism, has led to the research she is conducting at the University of Waterloo. Her project 1s tunded by a- three year grant from the Social Sciences Humanities Education Research Council of Canada (SSHERC). Accompanying her in this study are Dr. John McCloud and Gladine Robertson from the University of

Mary Joy Aitken Leshy Paynter, a former South African now living in Canada, gave a personal account of human rights abuses in South Africa and called for economic sanctions against South Africa. Paynter, currently a student at Waterloo Lutheran Seminary’spoke Monday evening about conditions in South Africa to a group of University of Waterloo students in the Campus Centre. The talk was sponsored by the University of Waterloo chapter of Amnesty lnternational, the independent human rights organization which has strongly criticized South Africa’s record of human rights violations for many years. Paynter related how, in 1963, the white South African government declared the area where he and his family lived to be a “white” area. His family and neighbours were given six months to move. Yet “no one believed it would happen. But one day the bulldozers came in

and we were forced to move,” said Paynter. Paynter also told of being arrested several times for various “offences”, such as not carrying his passbook. On one occassion, while in detention, he was beaten severely. Such beatings of blacks are “commonplace”, he said. He also stated that many blacks who are caught trying to leave the country illegally simply “disappear” and are never seen again. Although he questions the ultimate effectiveness of sancnevertheless tions, Paynter called for complete economic sanctions against South Africa from all Western nations, including Canada. He said that economic sanctions “wouldn’t make much of a difference to 95 per cent of the black people. The people who will suffer are the white South Africans, not the blacks.” He described the sanctions recently announced by Canada as “not very strict but they are a step in the right direction.”

Saskatchewan. Jones is also supervising three research assistants who are completing their Masters in computer science and have a strong interest in special education. In the broader sense, expert systems are automated consulting systems that provide the user with expert advice within a particular subject area. The data contained in the system represents human experts’ knowledge to aid or advise the user. A more commonly known example of expert systems exists in the medical field where inexperienced interns may use expert systems to aid in medical diagnosis. However, there isa vast difference between situations in special education as opposed to the medical field. An expert system in special education should be used to scrutinize the child’s skills and access them precisely to avoid incorrectly “labelling” a child. Originally the concept for this system evolved from Jones’s work for her Master’s thesis. She developed an expert system to test the reading skills in children from ages eight to ten. The restrictions were placed on the range of ages for the system because it was developed only to assess its feasibility. The new system is less restricted, ranging over several areas of expertise. The priority is still reading difficulties since the majority of cases referred are in this area. Some work will also be done on learning disabilities in arithmetic. The age range to be studied has been expanded to include all elementary aged children as well as pre-schoolers. Where the system will largely be changed is in the computer science framework to be used; A new approach to building the artificial intelligence system will be employed for this education system. “Fortunately there has been good interacti‘on between the research teams in Saskatchewan and Waterloo,” Jones affirmed. “The advantage to conducting the research here at Waterloo is the new approach to computer expert systems.” Jones is setting up a network which will assess school children. There are 98 schools who are involved in the project to date. Once the system is fully developed, two or three schools will be selected to test children withlearning disabilities. “The overwhelming response to this system by the schools clearly illustrates how special educational facilities have been overloaded and the number of cases can’t be handled,” commented Jones. Once this system has been fully implemented, it will provide a source of expertise and knowledge to’ help special education teachers diagnose children with learning disabilities. The system will provide high quality reports on the nature of children’s learning disabilities and will replace a naive approach to special education. “Expert systems of this nature may be abused so that results are meaningless unless they are properly administered,” maintained Jones. The system should be used to advise the user only, and aid in analyzing a child’s learning disability. “The system is not a dictator,” states Jones. As for the future of this project, Jones said, “A project like this will never be finished; there is always more to accomplish.”

Realistically’ the system will be ready for field testing in two years. Within three years, the system should be feasibly used by school districts. Jones concluded, “1 strongly believe that using artificial intelligence systems will improve areas of special education.” Jones and her associates have been working closely with the schools to explain the developments of the system as it is happening. A newsletter is being circulated at intervals to summarize the developments from other schools and the -progress that is being made. She is very optimistic about the project and has been encouraged by the support from the school boards and educators all across Canada.

Strippers still focal poitit of engineering stag by Frank van Biesen Imprint staff Last week, the graduating classes in the Engineering Faculty voted overwhelmingly in favour of having strippers as entertainment for the annual Iron Ring Stag. Each class held a separate secret ballot and the results were tallied at the graduation committee meeting last Thursday. Of the 278 votes cast (representing approximately half of the graduating class), 207 were in favour of having strippers, for part or all of the evening, at the Stag. Rudy Tomaini, chairman of the grad committee, explains that the final decision is a direct result of the vote. “The majority is obviously in favour of some form of strippers,” says Tomaini. “Realizing, however, that there is some opposition, we will only have it for part of the evening, allowing those not interested (or offended) to leave.” ’ The Iron Ring Stag is an annual event for the graduating class to celebrate the receiving of the Iron Ring, a symbol of the engineer’s social obltgations and responsibilities.

Soviet “refuseniks”

Imprint,

Rotenberg

“Lenin was, Lenin is, Lenin will always be. Glory to the motherland and death to American imperialism and Israel, its Zionist ally.” This is the beginning of every morning class, every speech, and every public gathering in the Soviet Union. For all of us who have spent our entire lives in a democratic country it is very difficult to imagine the ordeal of living under a dictatorship like the Soviet Union. The ideals of text book communism have little relation to the ruthless police state that exists. Human rights agreements signed by the Soviet Union are consistently being violated; the UN Charter of Human Rights, the Helsinki agreement and even the constitution of the USSR are just three examples. In the Soviet Union, communist ideology is cen<ral to all thought. Statements such as the one above constitute the ever present ‘propoganda which has substantial effects on children and adults. The purpose of such phrases is to assure-the citizens of the Soviet Union that their system, and it alone, represents all that is good in the world. Other forms of government are depicted as representing all that is evil. According to Soviet logic, anyone who voices disapproval with even part of the system (be it by protests against policy, demonstrations for human rights, belief in God, searching for lost relatives, not carrying identification, or asking for permission to leave) must either be demen_ted or a traitor working against the motherland and the common good. This simplistic logic is a driving force behind the Kremlin and its right arm, the KGB. Recenily 1 heard Leonid Feldman, a man who successfully ‘left’ the USSR, recount a pe sonal experience he had while in prison in the Soviet Union. He 5-net a young man who was in a very deteriorated mental and physical condition. The man had tremendous difficulty speaking and it took several weeks to learn his story. He had been a brilliant high school student who gained admittance to one of the best medical schools in the country and after one very successful‘year the authorities noticed that he had never become a member of the communist youth party. Hoping to avoid any difficulties the authorities quickly pointed this out to him and gave him the opportunity to correct his obviously unintentional ommission. The young man explained that he was a Baptist and believed in God and, as such, refused to join any party that had the non-existence of God as one of its central beliefs. The authorities deemed him insane and had him committed to a mental hospital where drugs were used in an attempt to “cure” him. This was but a few months previous. Religious persecution is not new to the USSR. The Soviet Union has for many years supported extremely strong anti-Semitic policies. As in the past the Jews tire persecuted first, but it reveals the intolerant sentiments that can easily spread to other faiths. Posters and cartoons placed in the press depict Jews as Nazis and heartless murderers. A documentary shown on USSR television apparently showed two Jews settling a bet by killing a pregnant woman and removing the fetus to discover its sex. Laws have been passed making it practically illegal to practice Judaism. The Helsinki accords, signed in 1975, specifically allow “the right to

manifest one’s own religion or belief...and...teaching of one% own language...” However, in the USSk it is illegal tq print any Hebrew text. It is illegal to teach Hebrew (recently two men were sentenced to six and 12 years in prison for this crime). It is illegal to celebrate Jewish holidays publicly and all Jews must have a special stamp on their identification stating their, religion. Jews are continuously being harrased and, understandably, many want out. The ultimate traitor, however, is one whb requests permission to leave. To combat emigration the Soviet Union makes it nearly i,mpossible to fulfil1 the requirements needed to even apply. Ten separate agreements specifically guarantee “the right to leave any country, inclyding one’s own” and special consideration is to be given to family reunification. The USSR has defined family as a

parent or child. A brother or sister do not qualify. This family member must send an invitation written in specifically required words to the relative. The invitation can not have a single spelling error or it is invalid. The Soviet government, though, only allows some of these invitations to reach their destination (they have complete control over the postal service and thousands of letters are simply withheld). Getting the invitation alone can take up to four or five years. The next step involves receiving permission to leave from parents, ex-wives or husbands, and co-workers. Permission must be a signed statement. Anyone agreeing to sign such a statement may -also be labeled a “traitor to the motherland”. One man, who is presently attempting to apply for an exit visa, has a father who is very old and partially senile. He refuses to sign (many others simply refuse out of spite or a reluctance to incriminate themselves). This man cannot even apply for an exit visa until his father either changes his mind or dies. He is stuck in the USSR. Even with the ridiculous requirements needed to apply for an exit visa, there are presently over 10,000 who have successfully applied and then been refused. The authorities immediately brand these ‘refuseniks’ as traitors. In most cases they lose their jobs and any earned benefits. Often their children are removed from school, their friends notified of the request and their names freely used in the press as examples to others. ‘The most famous refusenik known in the West is Anatoly Scharansky. He is a mathematician and computer engineer. He fir& applied for emigration in early 1973 and was refused on the grounds that he somehow had ‘state secrets’ - a common excuse given. He became involved in the emigration movement and, along with Prof. Sakharov (Nobel Peace Prize winner), in the fight for human rights. His wife, Avital, received permission to leave. Wjth the intention of soon being reunited, she left the Soviet Union one day after they ’ were married. Sharanansky was contrnuously harassed and arrested. On March 15, 1977 he was arrested for the last time. Charged with “spying and treason”, he received 13 years in prison (much of it’ has been in solitary confinement). His wife, who has now not seen him for ten years, has crossed the globe to muster support for her husband. On January 26, Scharansky turned 38, nearing the completion of his ninth year in prison. As if in anticipation of his birthday, an extra six months were added to his sentence. A more recent example of Soviet persecution involves Vladmi! Lifthitz. A 44 year-old married man, he has two children, a boy 18 and a girl nine. Since his request to leave he has been constantly harrassed by authorltles. He was arrested Jan. 6, 1986, and charged with anti-Soviet slander. The,evidence consists of letters he sent to the West protesting his treatment and requesting that pressure be applied for family reunification. Lifthitz’s real crime was asking to leave. We, free Canadians, need not sit idly by. On Jan. 21 Jewish students across Canada spent three hours calling the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa to protest the ‘violations of agreements, and in particular, the treatment of Lifthitz. Anyone wishing to voice his or her protest may do so by calling the Soviet Anibassador to Canada at 6 13-236’7220 or 6 13-235-434 1. The hopes of those in the Soviet Union depend on outcries from the West.

New imion seeks certification by Ann Marie Jackson Imprint staff

Photo by Steven Park!

The proposed establishment of a new faculty labour union on .campus -- the University of Waterloo Association of Teachers -- is sparking comment frdm the.Faculty Association and those opposed to faculty unionization. Professor Roman Dubinski of the Department of English is founding president of the new faculty group. This group hopes to become certified as a labour union and to negotiate on behalf of faculty with the university administration. The group would represent those faculty appointments which are full time or reduced load. The Faculty Association, headed by W. Robert Needham of Economics negotiates on the faculty’s behalf. Dubinski’s group has postponed a formal membership drive until after the Faculty Association has completed its set of negotiations with the adminstration. In the pabt, negotiations betweefi faculty and the university have often reached a stalemate. Needham is trying to define a “dispute resolution mechanism”. Under the existing agreement, when the administration rejects the Faculty Salary Steering Committee’s recommendation, the Faculty Association has only “symbolic” recourse. The Association president the case to the Board of Governors; however, the -_ . . presents U mverslty President presents the opposite case. Since voting against the president’ ‘s presentation would be a vote of non-confidence, the Board in the past has rejected the faculty position. Needham points out t.hat in neaotiat ions “the most important thing is to ensure that the administ&ion bargains in go02 faith.” -

Dubinski’s group feels that the Faculty Association has reached the end of the possibilities for negotiating a dispute resolution mechanism. They would like to try negotiating backed by the force of law. Dubinski’s preference for dispute resolution would be “binding external arbitration.” Despite the apparent opposition between the proposed union and the Faculty Association,‘the two groups are very close in their goals. Needham is happy with the way those who wanted a union went about it. He explains, “If the group had tried to form a union from within (the Faculty Association), it would have caused too ,much dissention” and the Faculty Association “would have. been Iripped apart”. Even If Needham is pleased with the proposals of Dubinski’s group, some faculty are not. Professor John Shortreed of Civil Engineering believes “there are a lot of misconceptions around about the union.” He cites Carleton University in Ottawa as an example of deterioration due to fgculty unionization. Shortreed fears that if detailed job descriptions are set down, professors will perform only those duties required by the description. He explains that because the university has limited funding, a salary award to faculty will mean cuts in other areas. He feels that such cuts will hurt students. Faculty Association President Needham responds to these concerns by stating that the effect of a union on students would be “minimal or non-existent”. He reaffirms his similarity to the proposed union by asserting, “lf it (cuts in services) didn’t happen under the Faculty Association, it won’t happen under a certified union.”

Murray Bookchin gives unsettling message

Friday

January

31, 1986

‘6Progress” must be re-examined . by John Gushe Science and Techriology Writer Canadian University Press

”

‘.

For a speaker with such a fiery reputation, Murray Bookchin looks considerably tired. Slouching in a chair in a downtown Peterborough, Ont., restaurant, and caught in a dangling conversation with an admiring professor, he sorts through the remainder of his meal, and rubs his eyes. When told he must leave for the lecture hall, he rises slowly, thanks his hosts, and makes his way to a car. But when he assumes the podium, Murray Bookchin becomes someone else. Although well past the age of ordinary retirement, and no doubt having delivered most of this lecture many, many times before, Bookchin speaks with a disturbing yet caring passion, his voice loud enough to make the speaker system unnecessary. His words are enveloped in a thick, brooding New York accent, and his eyes are as expressive as his restless hands and arms. His message is not one that most people feel very comfortable hearing. “We have gone very seriously wrong . . .we’ve destructured society in the name of progress, which is structured around domination. We are creating a legacy for future generations, if there are any, in which forests will be nothing but reeds, in which soil will be turned into sand, in which cities and concrete will cover up our landscape.” Murray Bookchin is a pioneering environmentalist, an author, and an anarchist. He takes pride in calling himself a human-being because he feels modern civilization is losing touch with what it means to be human. Bookchin is delivering the keynote address of The Price of Progress, a student-organized conference held at Trent University last week. As someone who has criticised modern theories of progress for decades, Bookchin is an ideal choice to speak on the subject. As the founder and director of the Institute for Social Ecology in Rochester, Vermont, Bookchin has developed the foundation of his ecological theories as an educator, researcher, and author of books such as The Ecology of Freedom and Towards an Ecological Society.

“The modern idea of progress has tainted everything. It has tainted our relationships with other people. The domination of nature has justified the domi-nation of human by human, woman by man, and of s-o-called inferior ethnic groups by other ‘superior’ ones.” Bookchin, who has been described as being blessed with a “span of knowledge (that)is truly encyclopedic,” blames the 18th century -period known as the Enlightenment for the burden of problems with which the 20th century world must cope. The notion of the autonomous individual and the shift away from faith towards reason undermined past concepts of progress. “So here we are, all free-willing egos, wandering around this world, exulting in any type of emancipation from interdependence or interassociation.” Bookchin says. Placing the individual above the tribe was “a stab against the collective. . . and the tribal form of bonding, of association, of responsibility.” Bookchin says Western civilization has lost touch with what it means to be wise. “Wisdom is not what we prize. What we prize is a balanced budget and a good standoff from the cold war.” An inheritance from the Enlightenment is the notion that science is objective, an idea which “we celebrate to this day. Let’s be frank, scientists must be objeetive. You just can’t look at something today and say this is good or that is bad. The question is how it works, not why it exists.‘* Bookchin maintains this cult of scientific objectivity has plagued ‘and dominated humans rather than liberating them. Excluding ethics in the name of objectivity makes it “very uncomfortable when people ‘obiectively’ go around building neutron bombs.”

While science has been corrupted enough to dominate nature, Bookchin says technology dominates humans. “We have not only developed domination so that we can blow up the world, we have developed it to blow up every ounce of personality. “The result oftechnology has not been enlightenment. It has been, the control of external nature to control internal nature - our own psyches, our own personalities,‘* he said. Technology as an instrument of domination has also bred Ha means of surveillance, a means of control, that boggles the imagination. For all we know, this speech chould be picked up by a satellite in space,” Bookchin says with a brief, skyward glance. “Long live technology.‘*

While Bookchin has grim news for current civilization, he also has a bitter forecast for the future, as long as humans continue to want to determine it. “The association of futurism is an attempt to actually destroy the future. By extrapolating from the present, futurists are denying the future’s potential.” The eternal bigger-and-better philosophy of industry and governments actually limits our potential to grow, Bookchin says. “We are in fact a futureless people because of the sense of progress that we have.” Long active within the Green ecological movement, he says a recens visit to West Germany indicated major flaws in the urban development of Western Civilization. During a train ride between Frankfurt and Hamburg, covering a distance of approximately 750 km., Bookchin saw nothing but factories, power plants and concrete. He said the trip reinforced some of his ideas about reclaiming lost principles of progress and “reexamining where we went wrong. “We have to redefine progress, and reexamine the factors that have brought us to a conditi.on where individuality has become nothing more than egotism, where self is defined in terms of your self-interest, not your personality or creativity, and where science has essentially become engineering.” What was once a market economy is now becoming what Bookchin calls a “a market society where humans equate one another with the commodities they consume. “And we use the language of that society for even the most intimate of relationships,” Bookchin says. “People say, ‘1’11 buy into a marriage,’ or ‘1’11invest in my child’s future.’ Do you recognize the language when it’s put in all its absurdity‘? We’ve engaged in a social cannibalism in which we put a price. tag on ourselves, sell ourselves, mediate ourselves, and define ourselves in terms of investments or balance sheets.” Bookchin says people. should define themselves simply as humans, and redefine their relationships with nature. Rather than dominate nature, people should participate with natural cycles and

feel they are an active part of it. Long an advocate of alternative energy techniques including solar energy, Bookchin says he favours using the sun and wind for other reasons. “l’m not intereted in solar energy simply because it’s renewable. 1 think it’s marvelous that it’s renewable, but 1 particularly like it because it bings us into richer contact with the sun,” he said. (Bookchin is a contradiction; he claims to have started the modern interest in solar energy by himself, and although a fairly modest man, his ego is at least large enough for him to also claim spawning mass interest in ecology years before the prominence of renowned author Rachel Carson.) Bookchin’s recent work with large cities, such as his native New York, tries to integrate urban and rural areas. “Urbanization is devouring both the city and countryside,” he says. As well as encouraging cities to decentralize with more power for neighbourhoods, Bookchin also encourages projects like organic gardening. “1 like organic gardening not because the food may be better or cheaper. I like it because it brings us into close contact with the soil. It makes me a participant in nature, and gets me involved with the cycle of the forms of life.” In order to achieve genuine progress, Bookchin believed society will have to become more organic as a whole. While calling for a technology that harmonizes the relationship between humans and nature, he also wants a multi-tiered approach for genuine social change. “In restructuring society, we have to begin on the most molecular level, right up to the most political basis, to create a new type of organic society. I want to restore a science that is ethical, and to bring ethics where it belongs, among the people. It’s high time that ethics was not a discipline. Ethics is a practice.”

Ethical approaches to restructuring society will mean grassroots participation. “1 can’t stress the importance of participation enough,” Bookchin says to a small audience after the lecture. “We have to keep our individuality, our personalities, and our responsibilities to each other.” At the lecture hall, Bookchin urges, “we have to sort this out, and draw upon the whole wealth of human experience to make ourselves fuller people, wiser people, moral people, more inspiritied people, and finahy people that can deal with technology. This society is so rational, so logical, so bent on conquest, that it can literally tear down every aspect of the huamn spirit.” Bookchin says humans are fighting a futile, and losing battle, against nature. “Nature is not negotiable. It’s not like a Russian or American president who can sit down and talk about the arms race. It can take revenge upon us, and it could be incredible.

Candidates for V.P., operations and finance WiUie Grove by Frank van Biesen Wille Grove, a 3rd year economics student, is currently the internal liaison chairman of the Federation. Underfunding is the most pressing issue at the moment, according to Grove. “Joining the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS),” he says, will give the students a voice in the federal government. Accomplishing this, however, is a problem right now as the CFS and the Federation are involved in a lawsuit over fees not paid to CFS some time ago. “We would like to get this nonsense out of court,” says Grove, “and then join as a prospective member.‘* University education is important, and it deserves funding,” is the message Grove says should be communicated to the government. Some “less important expenditures such as advertising,” he says, “could very easily be cut in favour of post-secondary education.” Grove expects a ruling soon from the Ontario Colleges and Universities Association (OCUA) on whether or not the computer fee is classified as tuition. He predicts the ruling will support the students’ concerns, which will mean the withdrawal of the fee, and mean an urgent need to seek government funding. Financial management is a key issue in Grove’s campaign as a

Carol Goulette by Lars Wilke Carol Goulette is a 3rd year C & 0 student and is running for the positionof vice-president %of operations and finance. TO her, the most important issue of the campaign is that of sound financial management and accountability. “The most troublesome area,” says Goulette, “is getting control over the finances of the the Federation.” She proposes that financial statements should be made on a monthly rather than yearly basis. “This will show where our money is going, where our problem areas are and allow us to be more accountable to the students, notes Goulette. Taking excess “paperwork” away from the business manager so that he can be used to his “full potential” is one of Goulette’s, goals. She says that she can accomplish this by computerizing the business operations of the Federation. This would involve buying a microcomputer and finding suitable accounting software. Alternatively, _the Federation might consider tying in with one of the administration’s computers. Goulette would also like to see the business manager performing Federation audits. At present, year end audits cost $14,000 which she thinks could be reduced to $4,000 if preparatory audits were done internally. Getting more people involved in Federation decisions and activi-ties is another goal of Goulette’s. “The only way to get student input , .

result of the Federation present debt. “We’re $300:000 - $400.000 in debtdue to cost overruns from Fed Hall,” says Grove, “So all’of our operations have to be run efficiently.” He is concerned about irresponsible spending, stating that, “If, for any reason, we would miss interest payments on Fed Hall to the university, then they could very well move in and set up bar services, thus eliminating student control of the facility.” Grove admits there are new Federation services coming on line, such as the safety van, which cost money, but he sees some revenuegenerating options within them. Corporate sponsorship for the safety van, promoting such things as women’s safety and reduced impaired driving, are obtainable goals, says Grove. Grove sees higher quality entertainment as a necessary improvement to what is offered at present. He cites the case of the proposed Eddie Murphy concert last summer, which, it was decided at the time, would be too costly an act to book. “Someone of his calibre would go over,” says Grove, “and charging $18 would not be a problem.” He emphasizes, however, that high-calibre acts should not be held continuously, but rather once or’twice during a term,. A lack of continuiiy with the Women’s Centre is a problem, according to Grove. “The optimum would be a,full-time coordinator”, he says, “but that would cost up to $25,OOO/year in salary.” He suggests a part-time staff member as a compromise, giving the required continuity while kee,ping the cost down. “A coordinator (part-time or full-time),” says Grove, “would enhance the visibility . of the Women’s Centre on campus.”

into the Federation is by having more involvement,” explains Goulette. Working more closely with societies is one way she sees of achieving this goal. Marketing and advertising are areas which, Goulette feels, should be improved. “There are a lot of services which the Federation has and many events we’ve held, that people didn’t really know about,” she says. Goulette gives her own election posters as an example of how she thinks advertising should be carried out. “We wanted to let the students know that there was an election going on and that Sonny and 1 were running in it.” According to Goulette, Federation positions are not very accessible to students in co-operative programmes. Besides the irregular school terms, she believes co-op students have course loads which are too heavy to allow them to join. She recommends that students who do participate in the Federation be granted quarter credits similar to those granted for music and choir. Says Goulette, “This way the students could afford to take reduced course loads in order to become more involved.” She also feels that working for the Federation can be a valuable educational experience. Goulette would like to see an improved Board of Entertainment. She wants more free concerts on off-nights featuring “low key bands.” Goulette also advocates taking surveys to find out what the students want as far as enterainment goes. Establishing a non-profit income tax service for students is among Goulette’s plans for expanding and creating new services. The fee would be $10 and all results would be double checked. This she believes will create many new part-time jobs for students.

Erickson

by Graeme Peppler Getting the most out of the federal and provincial government’s funding to universities is a major priority of vice-president for university affairs candidate, Matt Erickson. Prospective cutbacks in transfer payments to the order of $6 - - -.. billion by 1990 ‘is a trend Erickson would like to see halted. To do so, he says that greater student input at both the provincial and national levels is a necessity. Erickson foresees the Federation becoming prospective members with the CFS -- the Canadian ederation of Students -- as an effort to lobby the federal governme T, t on student concerns. As well, he expects UW to become more active with the OFS (the Ontario Federation of Students) for the same reason. Underfunding to universities has given the im etus to the UW administration to impose computer fees, which l! rickson feels is a dangerous precedent. To curb the impact of such precedents, Erickson wants to improve communication between the student body and the administrators of the university in hopes that any effort by the administration to increase its cash flow by circumventing general tuition will no <longer occur. ’ As an active member of both the U W Housing lssues Committee and the Municipal Task Force on Student Housing, Erickson has

heard from all sides about the housing problems facing students, from the limiting of accomodation to five people per residence to the Waterloo-Standards Bylaw which requires that all residences meet certain safety and property standards. Erickson wants students to take a more active role in the community. He feels that by doing so, a better understanding of housing problems wil be brought to the attention of K-W residents, particularly those who object to the presence of students in their neighbourhoods. Erickson wants women’s issues to be made a priority at U W in the futur In particular, he would like to see the position of Dean of V’ ., brought back to the campus. 1 feel the reintroduction of the position is important to women students and staff on campus,” says Erickson. “It represents the only position in the upper levels of administration where women’s concerns can be addressed.” Furthermore, Erickson is concerned that the university security is withholding information with regard to on-campus safety. He feels students, particularly women on campus, should know of such details to increase their own safety awareness around campus. “The university administration will not release statistics about what goes on about campus,” says Erickson. “People should be able to know for their own well-being.” Finally, Erickson wants campus entertainment improved. He would like to bring in a wider variety of speakers on a more regular basis. As web, he would like to attract big-name entertainers and musicians to the univeristy. Matt Erickson is a student in 2nd year Psychology.

work well with others. The objective of having this split vote is to get the best person for the job, and not a convenient package deal.” As the supervisor of the Education Commission (a responsibility of the VPUA), Maguire says “I’d like to continue the good job and improve on it. The student’s education outside the classroom is also important. I would not be hesitant to allocate funds for this purpose. .I would like to see at least two big speakers every term, and a debatmg team estabhshed*” “Safety is something that affects everyone, not just women,“says Maguire. “The safety van and the nightwalk are proof that there is a problem with safety. The release of the (assault) statistics will help get people aware. I am also interested in filling the Dean of Women position SO we can work better with the adminstration on this issue.” The computer service charge must be “solved on a provincial level,” says Maguire. She advocates the banding together of universities under the Ontario Federation of Students: “OFS’s duty is to lobby government, to help solve the problem for everyone, because we’re all feeling it. I’d like to see an immediate appeal to all UW student societies to come up with a proposal that we can take to other universities.” Maguire would also like to see course evaluations made public. “York (University) does it; why don’t we? If we publish the evaluations, students will know more about which courses to take!”

David Wilcosx a downer by Michael Wolfe imprint staff The mood at Fed Hall last Thursday night was expectant. One could feel something was about to happen, but no one was sure exactly what. When Wilcox finally appeared, the crowd went wild; these were definitely loyal followers who were there for a reason. Cheering fans rushed the dance floor like ants to a corpse gnd proceeded to pounce on tabletops, accompanied by chants and upthrust fists. Even a .few lighters appeared. As Wilcox started playing, though, it soon became clear that he

cox show special. His solos were short, his movements reserved, and even though the eyes were just as maniacal as ever, he just seemed to be going through the motions. . . or as one BEnt exec put it, “he played up to his contract and no more”. Perhaps all the years of playing booze pits are starting to take their toll, as it does with so many native bands who choose to do the typically Canadian thing of playing only bars, even though they have the potential to go international. Following in the footsetps of Max Webster and FM it would be a shame to see Wilcox slowly shrivel up and die in an abyss of creative stagna-

would be unable to match the crowd’s enthusiasm, and that they would have to find another release for their hyperactivity.

Although Wilcox played all the old favourites, including an invitation for requests (a Dleasant surprise to see such g laid back, ‘%I here to serve you:’ attitude’ in this day of pre-packaged entertainment) something was obviously missing. Thursday night lacked the intensity and raucousness that makes a Wil-

’

tion. The man has talent and, when in good form, puts on a show definitely *worth going to see. His music is light, nonintellectual, and absent of angst, heavy political criticisms, or spiritual revelations.

For a night of (usually) high energy entertainment when you don’t want to “like, contemplate the artist’s state-merit about society, mah” Wilcox is worth checking out. Let’s just hope he starts taking something for that energy crisis. .

Opera wasted on children by Peter Lawson Imprint staff .

The Broque Opera Company of New York performed their opera tribute parody, The Ring of The Fettutines, for the youngsters who attend the children series at the Humanities Theatre. -Three shows on Saturday 25 January were staged for sizable audiences (most under the age of 10); an hour of music, comedy and fantasy. Though the humour and the storyline appealed to the children, the musical excerpts were more appropriate

Mozart’s by Peter Lawson Imprint staff The top of the charts from the 1700s spun at the Theatre of the Arts on January 21 and 22 with the best of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra, conducted by- Raffi Armenian. Amadeus: Rivals was the title of this program,

for the older set, and many of the youths responded sleepily to the singing. The- fairy tale story of a kingdom ruled by a silly king, who insists that his son marries the princess, could easily be a libretto for a truly classical opera.

the legato passages were cleanly played by Mr. Coleman, proving to be the evening’s highlight. English has no expression for the emotional mixture of laughing and crying; W.A.

Upstairs at the Kent? Yes, the one time hangout of punks and Art-types has come of age with JAZZ, On Saturday night, January 25, jazz (or representations, facsimiles, thereof) was performed by the musical unit Line One (ex-Good Food). A group which began as a local troupe three years ago, now finds its members living in the Toronto area, but most often playing locally. Consisting of Ted Blackburn (keyboards), Mike Calich (sax), Terry Macli (guitar), Mike Budding (Bass), Bill Hancock (percussions) and Dale Marcel (percussions), this combo plays contemporary jazz of their own composition. Surprisingly, all of the music is written by Ted Blackburn, because the musical variety would suggest many minds at work.

Songs such as Un Marceau Pour MarceN, a jiving Big Band Beat, or the ballad August85, display imagination of an entertaining dimension. But the playing diminishes some of the complete potential which exists. Cleaner playing and contributions from other band members would inject greater depth into a music which shows much promise. These “free-wheeling Cats” can be seen in town sometime soon, maybe even on campus. Be aware and Respond. A special player will surmount the Kent on Friday February 7. John Tank (tenor sax) wiilbe accompanied by Claude Ranger (drums), Neil Swainson (bass), George McFetridge (piano) and special guest Esther Lamneck (clarinet-New York) for some of the best jazz this city may see this year. All for the whopping $5.00 at the door.

Edward Waller Jmprint staff Depending on who you talk to, FASS takes on different meanings: to some it is the epitome of amateur theatre, to others it is a travesty of the theatre arts. But if you ask a member of FASS, they will tell you that it is just plain old fun. For this group of faculty, staff and administration, students, delight is achieved through quantum discharges of energy while assuming fictitious roles on the stage. FASS is a tradition-at UW, (almost as old as the university), with its 25th year next year. It started out as a troupe of theatrically-minded individuals putting on a night of comedy skits aimed at satirizing campus life. In its modern form, FASS holds improv ‘coffeehouses’ in the fall term and turns the talent developed there into a major production in the winter term. Membership is open to all, and those who show up are assured of a place in the organization in their area of’ interest--there is acting, production/props,backstage tech, performing music, and script writing. The FASS program covers all the facets of a full-scale professional theatre within the framework and ability of an amateur company. For the participants, FASS is a great learning experience in the theatre arts without the rigours of formal study or the hassles of looking for the few jobs that are open to the inexperienced.

Paul Hardcastle *Paul Hardcastle C hrysaiis by Paul Done Imprint staff Paul Hardcastle, producer and dancefloor mixmaster extraordinaire, has put out an album which proves (once again) .that record producers should generally stay behind the con-’ sole. Every song on the eponymously-titled album sounds like a variation on a single theme slowed down, speeded up, with or without words - they all sound the same. 19, the monster single from the album which spent an aston-. ishing seven weeks at number one in the British singles charts, may be the albums’s most danceable track, but any pretense of sincerity it has is wrecked by the piercing female backing vocals which drown out the terse, grim litany of #facts about the Vietnam War. It is quite fruitless to try and talk about any of the other tracks since they are all so bland and faceless as to be completely forgettable after they end. When preparing to trash an album, occasionally, the lucky reviewer may come across a truly ironic song title with which to spice the review. In this case the gleeful reviewer gets not one, but two, of these little prizes. Don’t Waste My Time (ho-ho) and Just For Money (tee-hee) aptly sum up the contents of ‘a genuinely bad, boring album.

Replacements Tim Sire/WEA

by Tim Perlich Imprint staff Out of Minneapolis come the drunk ‘n’ brawlin’ Replacements with their fifth L.P and major label debut. The group has retained the same line-up since 1979 when Paul Westerberg deviously ridded the group of their original vocalist. While walking home at night from his job as a janitor, Westerberg would pass by the home of Tommy and Bob Stinson and hear them jamming on Ted Nugent and Aerosmith songs with drummer Chris Mars. Paul could play guitar;so he moved right in, taking over lead but the group already had a singer that they were intent on keeping. A friend of Paul’s, he took the singer aside and managed to convince him though he really loved him, the rest of the group hated him. It wasn’t long before the singer left, Westerberg stepped up in his place and presto: The Replacements. Their new L-P Tim comes as a bit of a departure from the noisy folk and thrash of their earlier albums, heading for a more controlled mid-seventies hard rock sound. The prognosis isn’t as horrible as it might first appear because the Replacements trade in the grand gestures, excessive soloing, and hollowness associated with the music of previous decades to make some insightful statements on a much smaller scale. Their music, though heavily influenced by AM radio and Don Kirshn‘er’s Midnight Special-type groups is never allowed to stray from their focus of the problems encountered in youth and growing up. All the confusion and aimlessness you’ve ever known is wrapped up in Bczstards of Young, the fear of rejection is in Kiss Me On The Bus, the paranoia of growing old and fear of dying is in Hold My Life, it’s ail here in its greasy hair and pimple-faced beauty.

Paul Westerberg Westerberg’s clearest statement to date comes as the album% coda: Here Comes A Regular. The lack of substance in life, dissatisfaction, loss of identity, and the chilling reaiization that all your friends are merely aquaintances burns brightly through simple lines like: I used to live at home, now I stay at the house. How four underfed highschool drop-outs like the Repiacements ever swung a deal with WEA and got ‘ultra-hip’ New York art- scene darling Robert Longo to provide cover art is beyond me, but the fact that they did shows there is hope for music of some importance on major labels .. .

Albert

Collins

/ Robert Cray / Johnny Copeland Showdown Alligator/WEA Records

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff Although 1986 is still in its infancy, I don’t think it would be going out on a limb to say that Showdown will likely be remembered as the blues event of the year. The blues world breathlessly awaits every release by Albert Collins, Robert Cray, and Johnny Copeland, arguably the three best blues guitarists of recent years. So the excellence of this album is understandable. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of Showdown is the way these three distinctive blues stylists coalesce into a complementary, cohesive group. Their montage of renderings of their originals and other classics rife with the traditional hardhearted-cheatin’-women motifs, gut-wrenchingly impassioned vocals and a plethora of close-your-eyes-and-bite-your-lip guitar solos. In fact, the title is somewhat misleading; this is not a showdown. Collins, Cray, and Copeland play with, rather than against, each other. They feed off each other’s intensity of feeling and the shared intuition that comes from years of living the Texas blues sound. More than anything else, Showdown is a documentation of how three very special blues masters feel the guitar. , If there is a dominant force on Showdown, however, it is Albert Collins, The Master of the Telecaster and perennial winner of the American Blues Association’s Guitarist-of-theYear award. The sincerity of his singing is never in question and his utterly forlorn harmonica .augments the lonely helplessness of Bring Your Fine Self Home. And his shattering guitar has never been more emotive, giving his solos a range of feeling that most singers can’t even pretend to match. -.. The man doesn’t need words to break your heart. Johnny Copeland ranks just below Albert Collins in terms of international acclaim and representing the more bitter and uncompromising nature of the blues. His fiery guitar style lacks Collins’ sublety and understatement, but his unremitting feverish playing is always riveting in its single-minded anger. But it is his astonishing voice, particularly on Lion’s Den and Bring Your Fine Self Home, that is Copeland’s greatest talent. He fairly growls like a wounded animal, his voice betraying a desperate vuinerablilty beneath his terse demands for his lover to come back to him as his demands become pleas. Robert Cray, the hottest young bluesman in the world, is hardly overwhelmed by his mentor’s on Showdown. His strongly soul-influenced songwriting has led to Bad Influence and his superb new album, False Accusations, each topping the British Independent chart; something not even Albert Collins has accomplished. His guitar playing is not as polished as Collins, but he shows a rare amount of innovation such as with the choppy scratchiness of his solo Blackjack. But his greatest assest is his touchingly soulful voice, which, even when he plays the unfaithful husband in The Dream, can make you cry with sympathy. . Put these three remarkable talents together on one album, and you have the ingredients of a classic blues album. ’

by Tim Perlich . Imprint staff Stylistically liberated by 1983’s Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs futhers a path of musical eclecticism while lyrically allowing Tom Waits to continue brewing the same cross-cultural stew of low-life American that’s been simmering since his debut. For Waits, this is his first album completed entirely in New York, and it shows. Rain Dogs is not unlike the adventure of dining in the East Village: eating Korean food in a Mexican restaurant while listening to a Cuban steeldrum band playing traditional Balkan polkas. Surprisingly enough, all the ingredients blend together homgenously. The diversity of the 19 selections (yes, 19!) is aided by a wide assortment of instru- * ments: acordian, banjo, marimba, clarinet, pump organ, harmonium, parade drums and bowed saw. As well, there are a number of guest musicians: John Lurie, The Uptown Horns, Robert Quine, and Keith Richards. The album begins with Tom Waits in his best Richard Burton drawl, detailing a ship’s cast-off to Singapore but try as he might, his voice still sounds like something scraped off the. underside of my roommate’s Datsun. If Jockey Full Of Bourbon was done as an instrumental it could probably be used as the soundtrack for a James Bond film shot in Brazil. Considering all the movie scoring he’s done of late, this,might not be as absurd as it seems (his current project is a soon to be unveiled Broadway musical based on Frank’s Wild Years). BIuck Muriuh and Union Square are both done in a honky tonk blues vein recalling Exile on Main Street. I was sure that Keith had forgotten how to play this kind of gut-level raunch by now (the death of a large percentage of his cortical motor area cells must have left room for the development of specialized “guitar” neurons which allow his strumming to be controlled entirely as a vegetative function of the parasympathetic system). The sound of East L.A. is remembered in the Jalapeno-fiavoured Hung Down Your Head. A ballad of such fragile poignancy might easily be over-dramatized but Waits bends and twists the song’s inherent sadness into something oddly uplifting. He applies the very same slight of hand on Time with its Potent imagery-of lost over, missed opportunity and numbing regret:

WHY

I The lamenting of two Punks (classically dressed) about their friend who has been conquered by subversive social circles, is humourously followed by the image of a punk drinking beer with two elder British gents in a pub.

Most commercials rely on humour for effect, but a State of California anti-drinking and driving commercial used stark images to be effective. A drunken suit-and-tie type finds his arrest humourous until he is admitted behind the bars and is greeted by his cell mates whose appearance changes his demeanor. ’ The list could be virtually endless (considering Imprint’s capacity) but to witness how the marketing types view the contemporary and to witness how they think you are thinking, is thought provoking but not deeply so.

by Tim Perlich The Waiting is a London Ontario six-piece band (and not a synth in sight!) that have just issued their debut L.P on their own-waiting Records label. The seven song self-titled album is a showcase for the wide-ranging vocals of 22-year-old Julie Choquette and the group’s cleverly constructed accompaniment, wrought wiith a decidedly pop sensibility not unlike The Fruits of Passion. Remarkably professional in musicianship, production and packaging, the overall slickness of the venture works almost to their detriment in veiling their youthful exhuberence with calculated restraint. It will be interesting to see if there’s anything under the hood when they take over the Coronet (don’t isk me why) on I February 3, 4 and 5.

- North of 17i s warth the tre.k to M-L by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff

Two very different approaches to similar subject areas comprise the focus of North of 17, showing until February 23 at the Theatre of the Arts Gallery in the Modern Languages Building. The etchings of Greg Shafley and Diane Stewart’s watercolours each portray various scenes of nature with an emphasis on realism, but there the similarity abruptly ends. The best word to describe Stewar t’s work is nondescript. Her woodland scenes covering all of the seasons are well-rendered and pleasing to look at, but their over-riding conventionality takes them out of the realm of art and into the world of the merely banal. Her loose style of realism avoids a stuffy, rigid formalism so that her paintings are not a chore to look at, but this

lack of difficulty is precisely the problem. The colours are, exactly the colours we expect to see while on a walk through the woods on a fall day and there is absolutely no attempt at any sort of abstraction so that, as pleasant as her paintings are, they provide no challenge to the viewer. Stewart is obviously a talented painter but her paint-by-numbers approach leaves about as much impact as that pretty scene your parents have hanging above the mantel-piece; nice but bland. . Greg Shafley’s etching is not as visually arresting as bright water-colours, but is is imbued with a far greater -depth than Stewart’s work. Shafley also deals largely with nature and woodland scenes,‘ ,but on a much smaller scale, sometimes working on spaces smaller than postcards. The emphasis is not on colour, as his work generally

The monochromatic nature and the graininess of the etchings have the effect of .faded old black-and-white photographs, carrying along an implicit, impressionistic moodiness of nostalgia and the past. X Fenceline Lacework, done in varying values of blue-grey, is typical of the evocativeness Shafley can draw out of mundane sc,enery. The Barrenness of the trees and the broken fence in ‘the foreground, the dirty white of the snow, and the bleakness of the sky effectively convey the dull chill of winter.

Long So Highliner had a mega-sale and now you have two boxes of “Boston Bluefish in Tempura Batter”. This has the potential to become boring. Of course, if you don’t mind spending some extra time, that potential doesn’t have to be realized. Sauces give meals class, and most are very basic. For fish, most people like a “white sauce” of some kind. Simple white sauces start with flour, milk and butter. (1 cup milk, l-2 tblsp. flour and 1 tblsp. butter is a good ratio.) Melt the butter, stir in the flour and add the milk slowly. It’s a good idea to scald the milk first. This means heating it in a small pan until you see little bubbles around the edge. Let it cool a bit before adding it. Doing this helps keep the consistency smooth. Joy of Cooking recommends rinsing the pan first with cold water to make cleaning it easier. It works fd me. (Burnt milk is not fun to clean). To the white sauce add any of the following. - 1 tblsp. chopped onion - a pinch of nutmeg - 1 tsp. lemon juice - 1 clove chopped garlic - salt and pepper - 1 tsp. sherry - 2 tblsp. chopped parsley - 2 tblsp. chopped chives - 1i2 tsp. worcestershire sauce - white wine to taste . One cup of grated cheese, a pinch of nutmeg and 114 tsp. basil turn white sauce into an excellent cheese sauce for cauliflower, broccoli or anything you like cheesy. 1 make tartar sauce by mixing mayonnaise, relish, cream of tartar (a powdered seasoning), and lemon juice. A quick gravy can be made by melting 2 tblsp. of butter in a pan rubbed with l/ 2 clove. of garlic. Stir in 2 tblsp.- of flour and add 1 or 2 bouillion cubes dissolved in 1 cup of boiling water. For stir-fried vegetables, rice or anything to which you want to give an oriental flavour, start with a basic brown sauce. One tblsp. soy sauce, 1 tblsp. cornstarch and 3 tblsp. cold water is a good beginning. Add any combination of ground ginger, garlic, lemon, orange or pineapple juice, cayenne pepper, black pepper, honey, dried mustard or brown sugar to your own taste. For example, adding orange juice and ginger makes a good sauce for chicken dishes. Some sauces that come prepared can be greatly improved. Try adding chopped garlic, lemon juice and pepper to commercial barbecue sauces. Sauces can be made from the most unusual things. We had leftover juice from some frozen strawberries, leftover cranberry sauce and about a tblsp. of maple syrup left, so we stirred it all together on the stove, added some sherry and poured it hot over cheap vanilla ice cream. It was great! Another interesting fish sauce is lemon and almond. Melt 2 or 3 tblsp. butter, add I/ 3 cup sliced almonds and 1 tblsp. lemon juice (or more ) and salt and pepper. It’s delicious on fresh fish fillets cooked in a batter of flour, egg, bread crumbs and crushed nuts. Dip the fish in the flour, then the egg, then the crumbs and nuts mixture. Fries in 5-7 minutes or less.

New music at Fed Hall by Lesa Beret Imprint staff Federation Hall has added more variety to its music menu. Chuck McMullan, manager of Fed Hall, said the variation was added in response to a common complaint that the music at the Hall lacked diversity. McM ullan had been receiving comments from individuals, groups, students and staff who were not happy with the music. Fed Hall’s music programmer, Kenny Schafer, did not renew his recently expired contract. He said the general music style until now has been “new wave dance”. Schafer, who has been with Fed Hall since it opened in November 1984. said he had been selecting music for the bar on the basis of what was popular on the charts, on Muc#r Music, and in other bars. Whatever worked at Fed l-fall became part of the music program. Schafer said he did not renew his contract because he was no longer a member of the Federation of Students, a requirement for all of Fed Hall’s employees.

Schafer said some of Fed Hall’s “regulars” were upset, but McM ullen said that the regu-. lars were complaining, not because they didn’t like the music added to the program, but because other people liked it. McMullan said he hasn’t received any direct response f‘rom students about the music, however, indirect feedback through the staff seems positive. He maintains close relationships with the staff, he said, for feedback on everything about Fed Hall, including the music. McMullan also said he is in tune with the wants of the students, and will continue to respond to their feedback.

Caroline Nevin, U of A student council vice-president, said the council has no plans to intervene on the students’ behalf. “If they wish to challenge it in court, we’d probably back them,” Nevin said.

Nevin said she has recommended some changes to the test to benefit students, and also said the senate should accept other proof of writing competence like a passing grade in a full English course or a pass on the Test of English as a Foreign

Language, which international students have to pass before studying in Canada. “The exam itself is stressful and detracts from most students’ performance. An English course is a better reflection of their abilities,” Nevin said.

Warrior’s OUAA West pldyoff hopes getting dimmer

Warriors beat Mat but,lose to UWO ,I

Steve Hayman Imprint Staff

Big Three of Peter Savich. Paul Bovce and Rob Froese. who 1produced 59 of U W’s 65 points. In spite of a reasonably largehome crowd, an 8-2 lead after 138 seconds, the Nike Giant Shoe and the Homecoming Lion, the Warriors were down 37-35 at the half. Perhaps the moment of the half came when the entire eastern half of the crowd turned its back on the %Western cheerleaders’ first routine. Is that good or bad sportsmanship‘? “It‘s- inventive sportsmanship”, a beaming Athletic Director Carl Totzke replied. The fifth Warrior mascot of the season finally appeared in the second half, after a nostalgic performance by the Warrior Uniform. The mascot troika of the Lion, the Shoe and the Warrior motivated the crowd but not the team, as U W failed to score for the first 4’ 17” of the second half. Western could only manage 4 points in the same interval. Here, perhaps, was the The-Big-Missed-Chance-to-PutWestern-Away. Missed chances throughout the half, including a whopping 2 points in the final 2 minutes, sealed tKe Western victory. “Believe it or not, I used to be a good offensive player, like last summer”, center Jamie McNeil1 explained after his 2 point performance fourth highest on the team. “1 think the Empty Warrior at half time was the most significant thing”, r\iaus continued to observe. ’ The Warriors are now 2-3.in their worst start in 4 years. “9-3 will ‘win the league. Waterloo. can go 8-4 if they’re lucky”, Warrior source Deep Shoes intoned. The team travels to Guelph on Saturday night, and hosts Windsor next Wednesday. Be there. And don’t forget to cast your vote for the Worst Warrior Photo, as displayed outside the dance studio.

It’s bad enough that the deadline isTuesday for the Friday paper, but what kind of theme do you use for a team that thrashes McMaster 87-71 last Wednesday in a solid group effort, and then loses at home to Western 75-65 on Saturday in which only three players did any serious scoring? “So what’s the deal?“, Imprint asked Warrior coach Don McCrae. He replied, “We’re thin, When everybody plays well, we’re OK, bu-t we can’t just nullify our problems by going to the bench or having a seven footer anymore. Everyone’s got- to pull together’*. The McMaster game provided a ray of hope that perhaps the. world had not come to an end after the season-ending injury to center Randy Norris. McCrae was “super pleased” after the 16 point victory. “We worked our asses off. Tom Schneider emerged to become a dominator.” Six straight by Vilhelm “Bill” Boggild put U W up by 3 at the half. Marauder freshman Jasper Naus “singlehandedly kept McMaster in the game. Without his 2 points, they’d be down by 5 instead of 3”, observer Marcel Naus related. Mat’s best shooter was half-time contest participant and Tiger-Cat kicker Bernie Ruoff. The former school buddy of McCrae sunk one from beyond the 3-point line. The Warriors buried’the Marauders in the second half, limiting them to 2 points in the last 2 minutes. “Defense and team play on offense is doing it for us. Everybody’s touching the ball”, Schneider remarked. Maybe the team could hold its own without Norris. “You lost a 7 foot guy, and went to a 6’8” guy that’s still taller than anybody we got”, Mat coach BarrykPhillips said. Other observers noted that the 4-member Mat band shared only one thing in common with U W’s Warriors Band: the bass drum was the only audible instrument. The televised game vs. Western was quite a contrast. Western won 75-65. Waterloo’s offense was concentrated completely in the

week.

25Years ago in Warrior Basketball From the Coryphaeus of Feb. 2, 196 I : Fresh from a 98-37 victory over the Osgoode Hall Owls, the Warriors came back from a 30-27 halftime deficit to beat Queens 60-59. Dick Aldredge led the way t with 18 points.

A* review of basketball across the nation. by Donald Duech Imprint staff In this week’s look at CIAU basketball, Quebec’s top team takes the spotlight. Spotlight on Concordia: For the first time in many years, a Quebec team is in the national- rankings and challenging for the CIAU championship. The Stingers woke up many observers by winning pre-season tournaments at VQTR. McGill,Ttoronto, and at home. In that stretch, notable teams such as York, Calgary and St. F.X. fell victim to the Stinger slaughter.

The victory over York was the 400th for head coach Doug Daigneault, who has coached the Stingers for the past 10 years. In the nine previous years, Daigneault served as head coach at Loyola, which eventually became Condordia. Concordia is presently breezing through conference play with a 7-O record. After six regular season games, their average margin of victory was 30.2 points. The Stingers topped 90 points in four of those six games. The most easily recognized name on the Concordia roster is that of 6-8” centre Rob Latter, a former All-Canadian at St. Mary%. 6’5” swingman Craig Norman and 6’9” Steve Mau fills in when Latter

V-bailers prove they belong in top five/ by Ian Gowans The Men’s Varsity Volleyball team remains on track in its pursuit of excellence and a CIAU berth. In the past week, the Warrior team shut down the Guelph Gryphons 3 games to I, and participated at the Dalhousie ‘Classic tournament in Halifax. The league match in Guelph was not an overly exciting match to watch, but nevertheless the Warriors got the job done, winning by scores of 15-7, 15-I 1, 13-15 and 15-12. The win extended Waterloo’s league record to 8 wins against no losses. The Dalhousie tournament showcased 5 of the top 10 teams in Canada. Waterloo entered the tournament ranked 5th and had a good chance of improving that position. Bogged down by jet lag and an unfamiliarity with the gym, the Warriors started the tournament slowly. They won the ’ match with scores of 15-5, 1513, 12-15 and 15-11 but coach Rob Atkinson knew the team would have to play better in the next match to have the same outcome. Winnipeg entered the tournament ranked 4th in Canada, ohe place above. Waterloo. Any thoughts of the Warriors moving up were quickly squelched as the Wesmen completely shut .. down the Warrior offense, winning the first two games 15-9 and an embarrassing 15-O. In the third game, Atkinson turned to his bench for added support. Playing with a great deal of emotion, players such as Jim McKinnson, Ian Gowans and Scott Murphy led the War-

riors back from an 8-2 deficit to take a 13-I I lead, only to lose the heartbreaker 15-13. To reach the semi-finals, Waterloo was in a must-win situation. Showing a great deal of teamwork, the Warriors outlasted Moncton in a gruelling 5 game, 21 hour match. The match was highlighted by ‘exceptional setting and play selection by Scott Murphy, who joined the team after Christmas. The Western Mustangs entered this match on an emotional high as they placed first in their pool. As always, Waterloo was more than happy to burst their emotional bubble. The Warriors dug themselves into a deep hole, losing the first 2 games 15-6 and 16-14. Regaining their composure, Waterloo won the next three games to win the match 3 games to 2. Dave Ambrose was unstoppable on offense, racking up 35 kills in the match. The Warriors earned another shot at the Winnipeg Wesmen. Although playing much better on both offense and defense, the final results was the same as in the round robin. The Warriors managed to win one game this time around, but went down to defeat in 4 games. Exceptional play by Jim McKinnon, who was replacing an injured Jim Cooke, kept the Warriors in the Da,ve Ambrose rematch. corded a phenomenal 37 kills in the 4 game match and went on to be named tournament MVP. Atkinson seemed pleased with the team’s finish. “We showed everyone here that we belong in the top 5 of the country. We showed excellent team

toughness against both Moncton and Western, and we gav c -Winnipeg algood game in the final.” Strong performances by the entire Waterloo team sug-

gest that this team should not be taken lightly in the future. You can see the Warriors in iaction this Friday night against Brock,

Skating results It was an eventful weekend for Waterloo’s figure skating team at the Queen’s Invitational Competition: last weekend. After a fourth overall placing at York’s Invitational competition, one week previous, Water-loo turned around to tie for the top honour in overall points with Queen%. The day-brought in 19 gold medals, eight silver medals, four bronze medals and also saw nine fourth place finishes. The day started with a fo’urth in Novice Similar Dance contributed by Lesley Cross and Anna da Silva. Heather Hulme and Alison Hayes-Sheen teamed up to start off Waterloo’s clean up by picking up a first place in Junior Similar Dance. Also, in this category, Barb Brubacher and Trish Locker contributed a fourth. In Novice Singles, Diane Aichwalde and Richelle Alen surprisingly captured 3rd and 4th spots, respectively. Performances by da Silva and HayesSheen in Ju’nior Singles allowed them to take 2nd and 4th positions respectively. Hayes-Sheen then teamed up with Carol Rankie in Junior Similar Pairs to bring home Waterloo’s second first and remain undefeated in the past three competitions. Brubacher and da Silva teamed up to take

sits. If the Stingers can continue their winning ways, Concordia will cum to the Final Four, and that’s the veritate. Brent Baker (cont.): As reported two weeks ago, St. F.X.‘s Brent Baker was trying to get another year of eligibility,due to being injured in an exhibition game on Nov. 15th. His request has been turned down by the CIAU eligibility commit-tee. Baker has now turned his attention to rehabilitating his knee in time for the AUAA’s playoffs, to be held Feb. 28th and March I st at the Halifax Metro Centre.

El.aine Veenstra has plenty of untapped talent Elsewhere on the track oval, two rookie Athenas, Julie Madden and Lee Ann Uniac, competed in two events each to complete the sprint race circuit. Both ladies scampered quick timks in the 300 metres after each had contested morning events. Madden posted an 8.2 second 60 metre dash and Uniac registered a 1:42.7 clocking for 600 metres, which was more than a one second improvement over last week’s showing in the long sprint. Also on the sprint straight away, the Warriors ran an array of 60 metre times. The fastest of the quartet was John Clayton, whose t7.39 second effort bested that of Greg Martin (7.44) Andy Garrison (7.57) and Richard Kingdom (7.73). These same four men then joined forces in the 4 X 200 metre relay to finish ninth in an elapsed time of 1:38.09. In the men’s 600 metres, Brian Mclsaac and Steve Scott jostled about with a full pack of runners, and managed to battle their way to times of 1:26.9 and 1:27.5, respectively. Moving up in distance, the one kilometre race saw promising rookie, Tony Degazon, record UW’s fastest showing of the season thus far, as he stopped the watches in 2:3 I, while teammates Chris Lane and Dave Todd followed closely in 2:33 and 2:40, respectively. In the journeyman’s race,the 25 lap 5000 metre event, rookie Kevin Shoom toughed out a 16:52 performance. The track team now moves on to the University of Michigan this upcoming weekend to tangle with some highly-touted American talent. :

Imprint staff The hockey Warriors sure proved that they have come out of their slump this past weekend, when they chalked up three out of four possible points to increase their point lead to 22 in OUAA action. Gaining three points, as well as regaining their offensive punch was a feat that brought both optimism and spark back to the squad that has been struggling since the beginning of the New Year. UW vs Windsor Lancers On Friday night before a large but subdued crowd, the team posted a 5-5 tie against the Windsor Lancers. Depsite being outshot, 35-3 f, ‘by Windsor, the Warriors played with much intensity and determination. The Lancers opened up the scoring with two goals only five minutes ‘apart early in the period. Waterloo started applying constant pressure around the Lancer end, and finallv Jamie McKee notched one-at 14.34. Drawing the assist was newcomer Denis Wigle and Steve Balas. The Lancers sat on their 2-l , lead, and Waterloo took advantage by netting one on the power play when centerman Steve Linesmen was set up by Balas and McKee. Again the Lancers managed to score first at the beginning of the 2nd, when with only three seconds left in a Warrior penality, the puck was placed in the net on a third rebound attempt. The Lancers consistent pressure had the Warrior defense chasing bodies. Warrior Jay Green notched a goal to draw the teams level again, when he was set up by captain Dave Fennell. Green’s goal was a. glimmer of hope that the third period would bring some welcome news, and maybe even a victory. That glimmer became even brighter when McKee scored

his second of the evening early in third and Steve Linesman scored‘ again for Waterloo at 8:26. Unfortunately, the hopes of the Warrior fans were dimmed when Windsor scored two more times, a victory was not to be, but a tie was surely welcomed. UW vs Ryerson Rams 5-4 win On Sunday afternoon against Ryerson, both squads were tied after two periods, by a score of 212. The Warriors played a little stronger in the second and answered the Rams early goal with two consecutive goals. With the score now being 4-3 for Waterloo, the Rams refused to quit, and applied tremendous pres-

sure. The brilliant play of-U W goaltender Peter Crouse foiled the Rams time and time again. The Warriors scored their last goal at 13:55, and this increased their lead by two. The Rams edged just a bit closer when they scored only two minutes later. Warrior fans were sitting on pins and needles for the remainder of that period, asRyerson came very close to tying the game. But the Warriors came up with a good defensive effort to stave off Ryerson’s attempt. Special News 1.

“We curled well this weekend. All members of the team shot well and our lead and second were exceptional with their sweeping.

High jumper hits new height Hockey by Cathy Somers . by Robert Hardy If Elaine Veenstra continues to show the same improvement over the next several weeks, by the time the CIAU indoor track and field championships roll around in mid-March, the UW Athena high jumper will be the world record holder. Of course, it is presumptuous to expect such meteoric rise to stardom, but for an individual who took a 20-month leave from training to reconsider her desire and motivation for the sport, her momentous jump at 1.78 metres (5%“) at the University of Windsor Track and Field Meet last weekend shows that she has plenty of yet untapped talent. After finding a place for herself in the Athena record book by establishing a new school mark and a 4 cm. personal best, the lanky blonde asked for the bar to be raised to 1.80 metre level. The rest of the field, who had all failed at lower heights, watched Veenstra take three ambitious attempts at this magical mark, but the longcompetition coupled with her uncertainty at this new height, left her somewhat drained to make a solid effort. Veenstra’s gold medal performance, along with Kelly Boulding’s bronze medal showing in the 1500 metres (4:39.1) highlighted the team’s action at this highly competitive meet. Many northeastern U.S. universities and colleges were in attendance-to give the even‘t an international flavour, and were prominent in the final medal count.

Andrea Baker raced to a 2nd place finish last Friday at Georgian Peaks, to lead the women’s Alpine ski team to a 4th place finish. Baker has proved she is top in her sport and comes out to show this every week in Collingwood./The icy and straight course was extremely fast due to the lack of snow and was destined to trick a few of the racers who tried to go too fast too soon. The women are proving themselves this year with veterans such as Andrea, Mirka Dvoracek, Linda McCurdy, coach Maureen Elliott and rookie Sandy. Gillies. There are three races to go and top positions are expected by these women. The men were led by Andy Stone, who placed 2nd in Friday’s race. Stone is a 4 year veteran of the ski team and also a top Rugby player:His performance led the men’s ski team to

The B league has such teams as the Graders, No Fixed Address, Photons, the Cougars, Outsiders, West 5 Flyers, Wailen Puckheads, Here for the Beer!, and the Chempanzees on Win-streaks (which is not too bad for playing two whole games).

Head Trainer Jillian, has indicated to coach McKee, that Todd Coulter is showing great improvement with his leg injury and that there is optimism that he’ll be back in the lineup in a few weeks. 4.

Nordic skiers hampered by bad conditions Glazed . tracks, treacherous downhills and corners marked with blood and shards of ski suit fabric .. . the stage was set for the Carleton University Invitational nordic ski races (freestyle-skating) last weekend. The men negotiated an icy 15 km. course while the women did 10 km. If only the competitors could have stayed out of the bush and off their faces, track records ’ might have been broken. Unfortunately, the Warriors pulled in more than their share of such mishaps. The men did not perform as spectacularily as

they did in the previous week’s 1st place finish in Orangeville. However, the Warriors did cement their status on the interuniversity circuit with a solid 4th place. Western, Queen’s and Carleton skied to Ist, 2nd, and 3rd spots respectively. The universities of Ottawa, Toronto, Guelph, and Trent univers’ity also entered teams. Perhaps the most notable individual performance by a Waterloo skier was - that of Cameron Mahon. The former national rowing champion placed 16th in o nly his thirdski race ever. Marc us Boyle ( 12th),

Konstantin Milchin (21 st), and Rich Rawling (22nd) were the other Warriors to count in the team standings. Vlada Dvoracek, Geoff White , Graham Henderson, Doug Ranahan, and Steve Bentley also performed for Waterloo in the field of nearly 60 sanctioned racers. Sheela Khandkar, E.J.
