$20 M c-ut in vouth spending J

OTTAWA (CUP) -- The federal budget estimates released Feb. 27 show the government will spend at least $20 million less on youth programmes next year. The Minister df State (Youth) has been spared the budget axe, but no specific budget has been allocated, unlike the other junior ministry under the secretary of state, the Ministry of State (Multiculturalism), which does have a budget. The government allocated $5.5 million to wind down Katimavik, the youth volunteer programme cut last month. The estimates say the other $14.2 million of Katimavik’s regular budget has been “reallocated to new goveinment initiatives and priorities.” But these priorities aren’t spelled out anywhere in the report. The budget of the citizenship d’evelopment programme, which one treasury board official said includes most of the Ministry of Youth’s spending money, will drop from $24.3 . million in 1985-86 to $10 mil- ’ lion in 1986-87.

The government will save another $6.8 million because there is no money being spent this year on youth projects. Last year the government spent $12 million to celebrate International Year of Youth. The total personnel in the Secretary of State will decrease by 139 full time jobs. A hastily drawn-up memo to CUP from Minister Andree Champagne’s press secretary, Caroline Carel, lists loan guarantees for small businesses, measures to help farmers, an in-’ crease in the Child Tax Credit, the Refundable Sales Tax Credit, and support to university based research and development as budget measures that will benefit youth. But none of these measures are administered by the Ministry of Youth. ~ Youth critic Howard McCurdy (NDP - WindsorWalderville) is not impressed. “They (the government) have managed to write a whole budget with the only specific mention of youth being the elimination of a programme, he said. “It does not bode well for a

ministry whose portfolio is virtually empty.” Barb Donaldson, chair of the Canadian Federation of Students, agreed. “It’s incredible that two reports come out in one week stressing the problems of youth unemployment, that 700,000 young people in Canada are unemployed or underemployed” and the budget doesn’t mention it, she said. McCurdy and Donaldson concur: there is no reason for the Ministry of Youth to exist. Since there is no money for Champagne to spend, her remaining role is to be an advocate for youth in the Cabinet. “She’s not even doing that,” -Donaldson said. Care1 disagrees. “As the advocate of youth within the federal government,” Care1 writes, “Champagne is confident that the 1986 budget and its associated measures . . . will be of short-term benefit to Canadian youth. “Over the longer term, the aims of deficit reduction and sustained growth will return Canada to its status as a land of hope and prosperity.”

OTTAWA (CUP) - Fifty dollars. That’s what Finance Minister Michael Wilson’s Feb. 26 budget will mean to most college and university students. The $50 is a refund on federal sales tax the government will send this spring to every student who files a tax return and whose annual income is under $15,000. Most students fall into this8 category. -Apart from this, the budget contains liitle good news for students over the short term. While Wilson boasted in his budget speech that “restraining the rate of growth of transfer payments to the provinces for health care and postsecondary ‘education” showed his government’s commitment to reducing the federal deficit, he did not announce any new funding or tax measures that will benefit students or impoverished institutions of higher learning. In fact, students who benefit from federal pro‘grammes will be hit with the same restraints as all other sectors by a two p.er cent reduction in spending on all government programmes not covered by law. “Particular emphasis will be placed on grants arid contributions, capital and general operations and maintenance [in the spending cut],” according to the budget papers. Among affected programmes that benefit students are federal summer employment schemes, the Canada Student Loan Programme, and a large number of programmes in multi-cultural’ ism and employment and immigration that provide subsidieg for study and training. By 1987, the government plans to spend less on these programmes than in 1984. On top of this two per cent government-wide cut (which does not apply to national defence or international assistance spending) the government will reduce spending on the Canada Jobs Strategy from $900 million this year to $800 million next year.

Accreditation ,by Karen Plosz Imprint staff In a meeting last Tuesday, Dr. Edward Rhodes, chairman of the Chemical Engineering Department assured concerned chemical engineering student representatives that their program was” not in danger of lbsing its accre’ditation. The meeting with Dr. Rhodes was arranged by concerned student representatives, after being told three weeks earlier by Charles Burns, associate chairman for undergraduate studies, that the program could lose its accreditation. When contacted for comment, Rhodes said there was never any question of the program losing its status. There were three issues involved in accreditation, said Rhodes, “the provision of lab equipment, the need for more teaching assitants, and the need for more engineering professors to get their P.Engs.” The P.Eng is a document from the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario (APEO) which “stamps”, or certifies, an engineer a member of this society. Some people have qualms about the usefulness of membership to this organization. Rhodks said 20 out of 28 professors will have their P.Engs by June 1987, when the Ontario Accreditation Board will review the program. He is sending a letter stating this to the Board. John Debbling, a chemical engineering student representative, says, “We’ve been reas-

The Job Strategy is the federal training programme designed partly to “help youth and women make the transition from school or home to the labour market.” An official of the finance department who asked not to be named.said Canada Jobs Strategy funding is less urgent becuase the unemployment rate is dropping and provincial and private participation in the training scheme is on the in&-ease. But the official said the government’s good news for students is that their odds of landing a job on graduation are increasing. Wilson projects unemployment will drop to nine per cent from a current 9.8 per cent in the next 20 months. The government &ill cut total spetiding onjob creation by $300 million in the next two years. The official said “the best thing the government can do for students is to say they won’t have to pay incredible taxes on the debt” when they do get a job. Still, the budget’s challenge to private industry that it will match any business’s grant to the three federal research councils dollar for dollar up to six per cent of the councils’ budgets may mean more research money for some graduate students. “If-they (business and the granting councils) get it together, they may well oversee one of the fastest-growing programmes in the government,” according to Robert Rand, another fi-’ nance official. “I mean, everything else has been screwed down tight, as you’re well aware,” the official said. Students will soon know more-about the fed- ’ era1 government’s priorities in cutting programmes in education and research, which cost $6 billion this year. Wilson announced all the study team reports of the Neilson Task Force on Programmes Review will be made public March 11. The study team on education and research formed last fall, had a mandate of seeking our “waste and duplication” in the programmes.

assured, says Rhodes sured that we are not going to lose accreditation.. We still don’t know exactly what our situation is. We’re go,ing to have to wait and see.” At the meeting with Rhodes, Debbling said, “We moved to get more P.Engs, and more funding for the lab” (i.e. getting more computers) so that it will be up to accreditation standards. He reported six more professors will get their P.Engs by June 1987. Debbling says it was ‘the gimera1 concern of the students”

that helped prompt professors to get their P.Eng.” Several students signed petitions, and wrote letters that were circulated to Rhodes and Burns. Accreditation in engineering faculties is important, since an engineer who attends an institution without accreditation may ’ have to rewrite all of his or her finals in requ’ired subjects. As well, the prestige of the program declines, and students who want to attend an accredited program will go else-’ where.

University officials say theyI need more cash to operate by Janice Nicholls Imprint staff University underfunding and its effects on Canada’s international competitiveness were the key issues addressed in a press conference involving senior university officials held last Thursday in Needles Hall. The conference was part of a province-wide campaign organized by the Council of Ontario Universities (COU) to increase public awareness of university underfunding. According to Alvin Lee, president of McMaster University, due to underfunding, “most of the undergraduate science cours& which a decade ago had a regular_ lab each week now have one every two weeks, ” at McMaster. Lee added that the utilities at the McMaster library need to be redone but there is a lack of capital funding for such renovations. Ron Chrysler, vice-president, administration at Laurentian University, said his university is “struggling to keep pace with the equipment aspect.” He added that students are havihg to go into the work force to be educated on state-ofthe-art equipment. “Ontario’s economy is going to rise or fall” on its international competitiveness over the next decade stat& Douglas Auld, economics professor at the University of Guelph. He said that large classes hinder the development of communication skills important in international competition. Lee noted that universities have been downsizing, specializing, and cutting out staff positions since 1972 while, in comparison, industry did not start cutting back until 1981.

Sexual harassment by Grace Schmidt Imprint staff Surveys indicate that 20 to 30 per tint of post-secondary students have been Sexually harassed. The official stats for UW will be released next week. Although not many studies have been done and there is much differentiation between definitions, Julie George, former UW Women’s Commissioner, uses this definition from the University of Western Onta-

Douglas Wright, president of the University of Waterloo sees part of the problem as indifference. “Students see third year economics or second year engineering only once, they don’t realize that five years ago it was a lot better,” he . ‘said. Wright also said part of the probl_em is that universities are regarded as social facilities, with the government trying to achieve “maximum capacity for the lowest cost.” Lee stated that they would like to see a commitment by the Ontario government to’bring the “dollars per student in Ontario Universities up to the national average.” He added that this would require approximately 169.2 million dollars. (Currently, Ontario ranks ninth in Canada in terms of_per capita post-secondary educational funding.) wright said it’s “reasonable to seek to match the average of the other nine provinces,” however, he also noted we should be aware of what is happening with education in countries that are our economic competitors, such as Japan and the United States. According to Wright, the federal and state governments in the U.S. are providing massive I support for universities while in Japan “they have roughly twice -the resources per student compared to Ontario. He said these differences put Canada at a disadvantage when it comes to international economic competition. Lee said Ontario should be creating “far more doctoral students than we are now,” adding that “there is going to be a large exodus in most of the professions in this country” in the next twenty -years and graduates will be needed to fill these

positions. He said the problem is lack of financial support to encpurage graduate studies. “By about the year 1990 the Koreans will be graduating more PhD’s than\ Canada,” stated Wright. Another major concern of universities, according to Lee, is that research and development is so thinly supported by the infrastructure of universities that technological development is suffering. He noted that this too will hurt Canada’s international competitiveness. Lee added that “it costs about a dollar to receive a research dollar,” and the only place to get this money is thrdugh government grants. Lee said even though the rate of increase ini

transfer payments to universities is slowing down, the situation is improving. Examples of such improvements cited by Lee included grants to the three federal research councils. The funding fo_r the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, and the Medical Research Council are to be increased by at least the rate of inflation. As well, he pointed to an incentive provided for industry to invest in research such that for each dollar invested the federal government will invest another, as a positive sign. “The Universities are starting to be seen as an investment in sound things for the future,‘* Lee said..

Hopefully, the workshops will bridge the gap so that victims will know what they can do about sexual harassment, who they can report it to, and what to do to stop the betivior froti continuing.” Along with the workshops, the volunteers also have conducted a lecture about sexual harassment in the workplace

George anticipates that “the

NEWS. Tighter controls on Fed Hall’s $300 K debt by Mike Urlocker Imprint staff A bad first spring term .last year accounts for most of Fed Hall’s expected $100,000 loss this fiscal year, although Federation of Students Business Manager Fred Kelly says tighter controls on expenses and possible off-campus summer business will keep the deficit from growing beyond its current total of $314,000. In the future, Kelly says, summer losses due to the seasonal drop in enrolment will be limited to about $25,000 to balance with the winter and fall profits after expenses, mortgage, depreciation and administration charges are paid. According to Fed Hall man_ ager Chuck McMullan, the pub is almost a year.ahead of similar businesses because it is operating at a small profit, after one year. “if you build a hotel or bar anywhere, you won’t make a cent until two years.” Kelly was hired last May when the stage was set for huge summer losses and McMullan was hired in August when, most of the damage had already been done. “It was out of control at the start,” says Kelly, although he says it is normal for estimates to be incorrect for the first year, especially i’n a cyclic business

New health centreat UW by Frank Trovato Imprint staff Forty-three researchers here at UW from various fields have sformed the Centre for Health Research (CAHR, pronounced “care’*). The idea was proposed a few years ago but did not receive Senate approval until 1985. These researchers come from no\ only the medical sciences, but also from the social sciences, engineering and other fields. CAHR will concentrate on the so-called self-inflicted types of diseases that result from bad lifestyle habits, such as smoking, alcohol abuse, drug abuse and ‘poor weight control. CAHR is “not clinical,” says Elsie German, administrative assistant for CAHR. It’s main purpose will be to “co-ordinate research in various health fields.” CAHR wants to act asa database to which other health researchers can refer to.

Sex differences uniVersa1 in’ all species -9 To the editor: I have been following imprint’s Feminism 101 column with interest, and 1empathize with thepesire of many women who wish to transcend their traditional roles. Anne Fleming’s attack on gender in the Feb. 21 issue, however, deserves a dissenting reply. 1 took particular exception to the phrases “...not by their appropriateness to arbitrary polar definitions of masculine and feminine.“, and “... what is truly natural has been so obscured by societal

What editor’s notes? To the editor: Regarding the disturbing fact that you are increasing the use of the “editor’s note” following letters to the editor. Unless 1 missed some, the last issue of Imprint had four “editor’s notes” for 10 letters. The ratio is much higher than most newspapers or magazines use. . I particularly object to the use of the “editor’s note” following Paul Meyer’s letter. The editorial staff of Imprint (or any_‘paper) essentially sets many of the topics and expresses their views in editorials or columns. The public will then respond with the traditional letter to the editor. When the paper does or says something that someone disagrees with, they write. Letters, such as Paul Meyer’s, criticizing the paper, are usually considered a “must” to be published. But you’ve also taken the unheard of step of defending yourselves (and on other occasions those attacked) in your “editor’s note”. Your readers are supposed to have the last word since you, as a controller of the media, must be ever on guard against turning the medium to a carrier of your,own views. This trap is so easy to fall into that most publications have guidelines set down regarding which letters and how many on each topic and view are printed. Again I beg you, save your integrity and refrain from replying to letters, leave it to others to counter-criticize. If you really felt Imprint’s advertising policy needs explaining then maybe an editorial explaining ,but not defending it would be acceptable, although follow up editorials are usually frowned on too. Whatever your decision, expect it and the policy to be criticised - people seldom praise. David BIeiker 1B Civil Engineering Editor’s note: I don’t know what you’re talking about, I hardly ever use an editor’s note after letters.

by Alan Yoshioka Tuesday evening, I hear that Justice Minister John Crosbie has announced that the government will “take whatever measures are necessary to ensure that sexual orientation is a, prohibited ground of discrimination in all areas of federal jurisdiction.” Finally. All the lobbying has paid off -- we’ve won! 1 weep, for jDy. But wait, there’s .more on the news. Members of the Committee on Equality Rights, whose report prompted Mr. Crosbie’s announcement, are calling the declaration “vague” and unsatisfactory. Cut to the news conference: a sheepish John Crosbie explains that some of the changes may seem, uh, revolutionary to some people. His eyes avoid the camera. The Committee on Equality Rights made five clear and specific recommendations to guarantee equality for gay and lesbian Canadians; the government has not demonstrated a commitment to implementing any of them. Following through on those recommendations would send a powerful message to the provinces, the private sector and the courts, that discrimination against gays is unacceptable. Unfortunately, Mr. Crosbie’s declaration hedges on that message, using what NDPjustice critic Svend Robinson calls “weasel words.” The most important defect of Mr. Crosbie’s announcement is the failure to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA) to add sexual orientation as a prohibited ground of discrimination. Without the protection of a human rights commission, gays and lesbians who suffer discrimination must seek redress through lengthy and expensive private legal action. Without concrete action, his talk of “whatever measures are necessary” is empty;we must not sit back, naively believing that our rights are now secure. Already, the right wing of’ the Tory caucus is trying desperately to reverse the policy, such as it is. What you can do to protect the rights of gays and lesbians: Write to members of Parliament, urging them to implement the committee’s recommendations (see Imprint, Feb. 21), in particular, to amend the CHRA. Walter McLean (PC-Waterloo) has responded non-committally on gay rights; John Reimer (PC-Kitchener) is opposed. John Crosbie is the minister responsible. Don’t forget Brian Mulroney and your home-town MP. State your viewpoint in your first paragraph, be brief, and be polite (even to Mr. Reimer). Please send copies to Svend Robinson, Robert Kaplan (the Liberal justice critic), and to GLLOW (c/ o Federation of Students, via on-campus mail). Letters to members of Parliament can be mailed without postage to: John/ Jane Doe, MP House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario KIA OA6 Please. Every letter counts.

conditioning as to be almost indetermimant.‘: Anne’s basic thesis -that sex role differences are artificial and unnatural and therefore disposable -- 1 find a little unreasonable. A good way of determining what is natural and what is not is to observe nature. In nature, sex role differences do exist. Behavioral dimorphism based on sex exists in every living species with two distinct sexes. Among our near relatives, the gorillas and chimpanzees (whose DNA differs from ours by less than 1.2%) and our more distant relatives, the monkeys, the sex role differences which Anne finds so artificial are easy to identify. A chimpanizee feminist could probably make the case that chimpanzee males lead less “limited” lives than chimpanzee females; to chimpanzee males go the joys and excitements of terr-itorial adventures, the exercise of power, the planning and waging of wars, and the wheelings and dealings of political intrigue. In contrast, a chimpanzee female’s life is much more stable (see the book Chimpanzee Politics). . Our own species follows a similar pattern. The most stunning example of our own numerous sex role differences must surely be the differential rates of mortality’experienced by men and women. In all societies, at all ages, and for all segments of the population, men die faster than women, and nearly all causes of mortalitiy show this bias. The difference is quite dramatic and deserves a detailed exposition. Causes of mortality can be organized into three main categories: disease, stress and trauma, and murder and suicide. In the category / of disease, males carry more infections than females. In the category of stress and trauma they die more frequently from accidents-and

wounds (even in the first four years of life males suffer a 30% higher mortality by accident, and this bias holds for every sub-category of accident, including falls, accidental poisoning, drowning, firearm accidents, automobile accidents, and fires and explosions; males also die more frequently from starvation). The category of murder and suicide exhibits a similar pattern; more males are murdered than females, even among infants and children, and for all ages males have higher rates of suicide. This differential mortality cannot be satisfactorily explained by claiming society forces males to lead more stressful lives because even in utero males die more frequently. Nor can the fact that males have an XY chromosome pair instead of an XX pair account for the excess deaths. Irradiation experiments (which damage the .DNA) on many mammals and reptiles have failed to increase the male mortality differential. And among species where males are XX and females XY (birds and fish) males still die at a greater rate than females. Castration, however, does increase the male life span in many species, including our own. It seems that a competitive, high risk, often fatal lifestyle is an integral part of being a male. Biologists have some good explanations of why this is so but to go into them now would be beyond the scope of this letter (those interested can refer to Social Evolution, Chapter 12.). The important point is that there are sex role differences which are not disposable (short of forced mass gonadectomy) and these differences make Anne’s androgynous society an impossibility.

. 1 overheard a group of students over lunch trying to reconstruct the Seven Deadly Sins from memory. They came up with six -- Pride, Lust, Envy, GluttonySloth, Greed. The one they couldn’t remember%?as Wrath, or anger. Someone suggested it, but the majority answered, “Oh, no, anger’s not a sin.” It’s a slippery one, all right, an emotion as natural as gladness or sorrow, and one that’s worse to suppress than to vent. The Hebrew word for wrath is aph, which literally means “snorting.” And aph is attributed throughout the Old Testament to God Himself, as in the New Testament it is attributed to Jesus on more than one occasion. Then why is anger a sin? It has to do, apparently, with what you’re angry about, and . how you express it. A small child, when he doesn’t get his way, may lie on the floor and kick his heels and scream in fury. This behavior is understandable, if not entirely acceptable, in a child of two; in an adult of twenty it is neither understandable nor acceptable -- it’s intolerable. And yet most of us have days when we feel like snorting furiously, screaming primally. If we indulge in that urge often enough, we’re likely to be sent to a psychiatric ward, or a primal therapist. Anger becomes a deadly sin when the rage expressed is inappropriate to the occasion.. All of Jesus’ flashes of anger were directed against the inhumanity, injustice, cruelty, and insensitivity of the Pharisees and other religious leaders of his day. Towering rage against injustice -- against child abuse, for example -- is one thing; but towering rage when the car in front of us does not leap ahead the instant the traffic light changes is another thing. And that reminds me of

a story . .. A friend of mine who is a script writer in Hollywood was - given the task, along with several others, of doctoring a movie script for John Wayne in one his last westerns. At a certain point in the movie, John Wayne is frustrated. The bad guy he was out to get has just been got by someone else, c or the girl he’s been running from and has just come back to get has gone off with somebody else -- whatever: Wayne jumps down off his horse in a rage, and expresses frustration. Now, how do you come up with a line for the strong, silent, granddaddy of machismo .in his 75th movie that will adequately express his masculine frustration without hurting anybody? The script doctors spent several weeks on the problem. Finally, my friend came up with the solution. Wayne dismounts in a towering rage, watching the heroine; or the villain, or perhaps both, ride off. Wayne is filled with largerthan-life frustration. What’s he to do? Wayne’s breath would wilt the trees, his snort would melt the rivers. He wheels around and punches out his horse. Down falls the faithful horse, dead. And Wayne walks off, feeling better. ’ If you have a horse, punch him. If you don’t, you’ll just have to learn how to control your temper. (A P.S. for animal-lovers: Wayne’s gesture is not so different from what Jesus did to the Gaderene swine. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, compassion is strictly limited to the human species. So is sin. “Man is the only animal that blushes, or needs to,“as Mark Twain said. And Hegel: “Only the animals are truly innocent.“) (The Rev. Dr. Tom York is United Church Chaplain to UW and WLU. His office is at St. Paul’s College.)

Count on yourself by Grace Schmidt A good friend in engineering once told me that the only person you can rely on is yourself. After an incident with the _ Department of Coordination and Placement last week, the truth of that statement really hit home. I will briefly recount the incident. Even though I submitted my most recent transcript to be sent out with my resumt: and student-employer recokd, &ordination still sent out an incorrect student examination record which did not accurately list my marks. Furthermore, the student examination record presented a defamatory representation of my academic standing at this institution. Despite the error, I did receive interviews and fortunately realized during one, that an error had occurred with my transcript. My file has since been corrected. The reason I am writing is to caution other students .who may ever be in a similar situation. Coordination did apologize to me and explain it was an honest mistake. However, I can only speculate on the number of potential interviews 1 may have been denied due to this error. All I am saying is mistakes are bound to happen; they always do, and even though I did everything to prevent this error from happening, it still occurred. I have talked enough with my colleauges in the co-op programme to know that this is certainly not an isolated incident with Coordination. It happened to me and it could happen to you. You can’t count 100% on placement from Coordination, so don’t count 100% on reliability either. Cheers to your philosophy Vic! The only person you can count on is yourself, and sometimes that’s not even enough!

by’ Anne Fleming . J The debate has been raging for years. The choice between pornography and censorship is, for feminists, a choice between the lesser of two evils. The debate goes on, too, on the University of Waterloo campus, with Miss Oktoberfest and Enginews, two less obvious examples of the same problem. The probldm is misogyny: womdn-hating. Pornography is misogyny. It is also a multi-billion dollar industry. It depicts women as, objects to be whipped, shot, urinated and defecated on, mutilated, hung, hit and fucked, both in the literal sense and in the sense of doing wrong (like “the phone company fucked me around again”). It portrays women as the willing recipients of this destructive treatment. If you want to write thig off as “hard-core” pornography, and say that most of it isn’t that bad, take a look at the stag shop in Waterloo (on second thought, don’t . . . it’s too depressing). The amount and variety of pornography showing sexual violence is truly astounding. So-called “soft” porn is no less objectifying. Women are still merely vehicles for the sexual pleasure of men. (Of course, there are the absurd insatiable female nymphomaniacs - another lie.) Pornography is lies about women, and probably lies about most men. Whether it is a cause or a manifestation of misogyny, pornography is emblematic of a largely misogynist culture. I believe it is also a major inhibitor to equality between the sexes, in that it shows that it is both acceptable and sexually exciting for men to dominate women, and that women need, desire or expect domination. And whether or not <pornography actually contributes to instances of sexual violence. against women (this is problematic), the image of women as willingly submissive objects is still repugnant, and undermines attempts to promote the equality of women. Yet censorship is also quite frightening. An art store in Toronto last year was charged with obscenity when it had a window display for a feminist art show which included sanitary napkins smeared with red paint. At the same time, female mannikins lie in store windows with wild animals holding them down, or blood dripping out of their mouths. What makes sense? The triumph of the religious-fundamentalist new right in Margaret Atwood’s novel The Handmaid’s Tale, hits home too hard to ignore. The feminist problem with censorship is threefold. First, how do we fight exploitive pornography on the one hand, and condemn censorship of, say, Margaret Laurence, on the other? This is the “where-do-we-draw-the-line” argument against censorship. Where does pornography end and art begin? 1 reject this argument. We do draw lines - constantly and they may be thin in places, but they’re pretty thick in others. Read Oui - it’s about men possessing women; it’s pornography. Read The Diviners - it’s about a woman’s life including her sexuality; it’s a mo’dern classic. The second problem with censorship is that it limits “freedom of speech.” 1can reject this argument, too, for freedom of speech is limited by law when it denies others freedom. There are laws against slander and hate literature, and pornography is hate literature. The analogy between sexism and racism may be worn out, but I think it still holds true. If the recipients of violence and domination in pornography were Jewish, Black or Asian men, it would be outlawed in a minute. The third objection to censorship is that the potential censors, legislators and law-makers, are at present, overwhelmingly male: “it literally places power in the hands of men to look after the interests of women, thus replicating the powerlessness of women” (Thelma McCormack). This is an argument related to the argument against prior censorship (i.e. by a board), which is not ptiblic, difficult to regulate, and distances the power from the grassroots. This argument is not so easy td do away with, nor are the others without validity either. I am quite disturbed that 1 don’t have an easy answer to the problem of pornography. Daphne Jarvis suggests that feministS work from all sides to combat pornography, by boycotting, picketing, counter-education’in sexuality and erotica, civil disobedience, and some carefully defined legislation. It won’t go away if we ignore it.

And now ladies and genllemen,

here’s...

Guaranteed annual income for all?

To the editor: Re: Tom Fulton, Anita Nelson; make-up, or not. Tom, although 1 do not have the time and energy to spend on any lengthy personal public debate about make-up, or your attitudes, I would like to quote Varda Burstyn, ed., Women Against Censorship, with reference to your closing comment to Anita Nelson: Most women simply cannot handle the responsibility of child, rearing, caring for the sick and aged, household work and labor outside the home in addition to the private preparation and public activity that is necessary for them to function on a par with men. (p. 170) 1 realize that I may be missing the point of argument where make&up is concerned, but please excuse me for taking up the debate where I first saw it in the Feb. 21 issue of Imprint. It is fortunate for yourself that you will never become “sort of pregnant,” or experience birth pains. The physical reality of women’s birthing, however, is combined with the uneven social burden of child-care, which places them at a tremendous disadvantage in the competition for paid work. This varies according to the social status - ie. marriage, number of children, age, race. 1 expect that some token or childless women might want to argue this point; but 1 will not press this letter beyond what 1 have to say here and now. I am only too well aware of the differences amongst us. Perhaps if the structure and hours of work were more flexible, more men could (and would‘?) freely contribute more of their time and energy to reproductive maintenance without remuneration, or expectations. Also, prostitution has been traditional, but unacceptable, mostly

because women, usually more than men, are expected to give “freely” of themselves, ,and are socially ostracized if they don’t. If women earned more money it would not be necessary for them to even contemplate any instances of sex trade, or even marriage. M,arriage, however, is more acceptable, although fidelity during, or fair resolution upon termination, is not always guaranteed. Women should not be arbitrarily categorized “good or bad,” “acceptable or unacceptable,” - in fact, no one ought to be categorized and castigated for their sexual activity, if any. Most women deserve more respect, less criticism, and more money. A Guaranteed Anbual Income for all, if properly implemented, would help. This’ G.A.1 would somewhat undermine our present social system, but God (he or she) knows it could stand improvement over more and more people wondering what their next meal will be or where they will sleep (no sexual connotation, please). Children do narrow down the female time and money available to and for the adult male, and, more particularly, the burden of childcare and paid work leaves a woman little time to herself. Dinah Forbes, in this Winter’s issue of Hysteria, states that: The transformation of work and marriage has left many women in even more vulnerable, arduous, and isolated circumstances than before - doing our double . shifts, raising kids, and all too often without the financial, let alone emotional support of men .. . We are expected to be as men in our paid work, only we’re paid less. Tom, perhaps some of us wear make-up sometimes to hide the weariness. D. Leclair

PAC locker fees called extortion To the editor: The current PAC locker term fee is particularly annoying not due to the amount demanded, but due to the inconvenience and irritation it causes. This type of fee is often arbitrarily imposed and rigidly enfbrced, thereby exposing the student to small scale extor _- -.rr”.L.“,,. tion. Upon payment of tuition, the majority of students pay a physical activities fee. The validated PAC card is a student’s pass to all PAC facilities, including the lockers. Clearly, the locker fee or daily lock rental is forcing students to pay for the same service a second time. The number of lockers available is plainly inadequate for the present student demand. To alleviate the problem, the daily locker rental is offered. The rental forces those unable to attain a locker to pay a second user fee. The addition of the second user fee can only serve to discourage patronage. It is no secret that the university is in need of funds. However, this type of.action seems more the calibre of a turn-of-the-century seller of patent medicines than of a prestigious centre for higher learning. Perhaps the fund-seeking administration should consider the following scenario. They must keep in mind that today’s student is tomorrow’s alumnus. The attitudes and impressions developed as a student. are reflected in donations and in public opinion as an

Carleton’s

censorship

To the editor: I was ljretty appalled when I read about Carleton University student council’s move to decertify the student iournalism society after it invited Glenn Babb to participate in a campus debate, (Imprint, Feb. 28). This action is unbelievably ridiculous and totally unjustifiable. Sure, Glenn Babb sparked controversy when he spoke at U of T’s Convocation Hall. There were plenty of protestors, but there was also a hallful of spectators interested in hearing what the man had to say. It appears as if Carleton is shying away from a controversial and emotional issue, but in doing so they are undermining the tradition of free speech and liberal choice that is associated with Canadian universities. What 1 found doubly ridiculous was the fact that it was a journalism society that was de-certified. Carleton boasts an excellent School of Journalism, and I would hope that these students are being trained to objectively, and intelligently, interpret events and seperate fact from sensationalism.

alumnus. Forcing the student to pay for every conceivable service serves only to elicit doubting questions concerning the university’s integrity and intentions. The concern of declining alumni donations is not immediate. However, once the students graduate, contributions will decline. There are numerous agencies seeking donations. It is easy to refuse one on the basis of bad prior experience. (By this jime, those responsible are often no longer in their positions, but the damage is done.) There are few things that can lead to resentment more than the abuse of a position of responsibility. At least the administration should fully account for this course of action. Perhaps a less annoying and far more profitable method would have been to simply increase the initial athletic fee on the fee statement. Consequently, the university would have avoided the violation of the initial contract by not having to implement the unfair and ineffective second user fee. * Mike Carey - B.Sc., B.A. Part-time student Jim Kile Graduate student

is described

as childish

at home and weep alligator tears over the plight of South Africa. I am just as much against apartheid as anyone, but actions such as barring controversial figures like Babb from campuses is not going to make the problem go away..And what did Paul Gross of CAAG mean when we said that “.. . this meeting could have produced a severe setback for us.“? I’d have though that it would be a bloody good chance for the students to get the full story, as it were, and attack the issue accordingly. And Gross considers this a setback? Apparently, the CAAG appears to be acting like taunting children at a lion’s cage: they feel pretty powerful throwing stones at him from outside of the iron bars, but as soon as the lion wakes up and confronts them, they run and hide. The de-certification of the journalism society is, in effect, punishment for that society’s willingness to confront the apartheid issue, and it makes a farce of everything that university campus democracy stands for.

tion, movement, and the right to acquire private property. Based upon the statements of Saloojee, the ANC does not represent these freedoms. Fortunately, there are alternative black political associations in South Africa that do represent these ideals. One such moral alternative is the one-million-strong Inkatha. Their elected leader, Gatsha Buthelezi, is also the elected leader of the nation’s 7 million Zulus. Inkatha is working towards a greater good and\has a large political mandate; clearly they are more worthy of our support than the ANC. The ANC operates on the stance that there is nothing left to do except fight. They want divestment from and the isolation of South Africa because they want to break the economy. Mr. Oliver Tambo (the exiled head of the ANC) says he wants to build something out of the ruins. Do we want to be Dart of this suffering? There are alternatives. Tim Moggridge 4B Physics

Shut down proposal is simply asinine To the editor: The plan to shut down the University for three hours, as a protest of the level of funding provided by the provincial government, as being promoted by UW President Douglas Wright, is meeting little opposition. This seems incredible if you realistically examine the probable effects of such a move. The stated objective is to bring the issue to the attention of the public and the government. How will the public view such a protest’? Probably as generally *bindicative of an attitude at the university of being unwilling to work constructively with a reasonable government (not unlike the Ontario Medidal Association). How will the government react’? Probably not at all, publicly, for that would only lend credence to a juvenile whining. Privately, they

Favouritism

will probably become even more frustrated at the inability of U W’s administration to act constructively to solve our funding problems in co-operation with the government. It seems as though this administration would prefer to return to the situation under the previous government (which cut funding in real terms by 20-30%) rather than benefit from co-operation with the current government, which has’a much stronger commitment to post-secondary education (as evidenced by the creation of a $62 million Excellence Fund, which is slated to be increased by about l/3 next year - can anyone claim that Waterloo shouldn’t benefit significantly from an EXCELLENCE fund?)

To the editoi: _ A commentary on Federation Hall’s admitting policy: Lineups at this pub are an unavoidable evil due to its popularity on weekend nights, but last Saturday turned out to be doubly frustrating. After mentally self-flagellating ourselves for not having the foresight to arrive earlier, our party resigned ourselves to wait. As the lineup often has a tendency to become wider rather than longer, this wait became somewhat extended. However, the cold outside did not aid in cooling our collective tempers as person after person was admitted through the exits by the main entrance..

MacDonald blatantly discounts the credibility of those who disagree with him casts doubt on the validity of his research. Even had he been able to clearly establish this one point, Mr. MacDonald must still contend with the fact that he seeks to deny the rights of a particular sub-group, while retaining his own; this must place a considerable strain on his “egalitarian*’ principles. He apparently recognizes that he is unlikely to succeed in compelling male homosexuals to stop holding hands in public (staunch defender of homosexual rights that he is); nonetheless he implores us “as a matter of decency” to control our public “frolicing.” Presumably, his conscience will rest easier given the knowledge that he has enlisted our co-operation in the abrogation of our rights. Notable by their absence from his argument are any references by Mr. MacDonald to sexual acts between females. Homosexuality is not a gender-specific phenomenon, and yet Mr. MacDonald focuses exclusively (one might almost say, obsessively) on its expression in males. I can only speculate on the reasons for this curious one-sidedness. Could it be that, as a heterosexual male, Mr. MacDonald can identify with the attraction that a woman might feel for another woman? If this is the case, we are led to conclude that his objections to (male) homosexuality are based solely upon the fact that he does not understand, ?nd hence rejects, the attraction that one man might have for another. In other words, Mr. MacDonald’s personal sexual preference is the criterion by which he determines the acceptability of everyone else’s behavior. No-one and nothing requires, or even suggests, that Mr. MacDonald should spend his time,contemplating sexual acts involving male homosexuals. On the other hand, neither should Mr. MacDonald expect the world to be ordered so as to preserve his mental equilibrium at the expense of the rights of others. Our culture imposes limits on our right to sexual expression; these apply to Mr. MacDonald, and to neither a -greater nor a lesser extent, to me. Nicholas Dobbing Planning 2B

Better alternatives than the ANC exist

To the editor: On February 26th Yusaf Saloojee, representative in Canada for the African National Congress (ANC), South Africa’s most popular revolutionary organization, spoke to a large au’dience in the Arts Lecture Hall. Saloojee said that blacks will control the next government of South Africa, and that the ANC will be the important revolutionary body in the transition of power. When asked which human rights would be entrenched by a future - ANC government, Saloojee stated that any government that is founded upon the basis of one man / one vote is necessarily legitimate. It isn’t of any consequence, he said, if the new regime is capitalist, socialist or even ‘a one-party-state, Marxist dictatorship, it must be accepted and respected by the rest of the world. We are not so much opposed to apartheid because it is minority rule; we find apartheid t$moral because of the human freedoms that are not extended to blacks such as freedom of speech, associa-

letter inconsistent

To the editor: In my reply last week to Blair MacDonald’s letter of February 14, I made no attempt to offer a reasoned rebuttal of his position. As far as I could tell, this letter contained little beyond a statement of Mr. MacDonald’s disgust at the thought of sexual contact between males. Inasmuch as his personal feelings do not constitute an argument to.the effect that homosexuality is a “problem,” I felt it unnecessary to do more than offer my own opinions in response. To Mr. MacDonald’s credit, his letter of February 28 seems to represent an effort to state his position more coherently; unfortunately, he has compounded, rather than reduced, the inconsistencies in his first letter. Mr. MacDonald stated in his first letter that homosexuality is a problem, and that he, and others like him, “are faced with this problem everywhere [they] go.” The problem arises, apparently, out of his disgust (and that of others like him) at the ihbught of “sexual act[s] involving two men. ** It is necessary to understand to what kinds of acts Mr. MacDonald is referring. Heterosexuals and homosexuals alike are di$couraged by social convention from publicly performing acts of extreme physical intimacy; Mr. MacDonald and his children (of some hypothetical future) arevery unlikely to be -confronted by the sight of two men engaged in such acts. It is, however, not unlikely that Mr. MacDonald may be confronted by the sight of two men, say, “holding hands and cuddling.” Presumably it is sights of this kind which so ubiquitously arouse his disgust. What he is arguing, I conclude, is that homosexual males should be denied the right to display affection for one another in public. In effect, Mr. MacQonald wishes to deny me a right that he takes for granted, on the basis that he, and a majority of others, are disgusted by the way in which I exercise that right. In support of his contention that his views are those of the majority, he offers us his “survey.” It is not clear to me that the results of this survey are in any way representative of the ma.jority view; indeed, the fact that Mr.

Reader can’t understand senseless campus closures at UMI

MONITOR

To the editor: What is happening to this university‘? Every time I ttirn around something is being closed, moved, or altered in some way. It started last year when the powers that be deemed it more important to convert recently vacated PAC space into‘classrooms, instead of creating much needed locker and exercise rooms. Then, last term, a small uproar was caused by the proposed re-allocation of some of the rooms in the CC. Now, to top it all off, the Athletic Injury Centre is going to close. It’s crime ? - being a service so useful that a number of people greater than its capacity now use it. What,, I ask, are we going,to lose next - Health Services? the Turnkey Desk?

What 1 can’t understand is the logic beind these decisions. As a student trainer and avid athlete for the past five years, I have seen the Injury Centre develop into the excellent service it is today. It represents a fundamental element of our athletic programme, one on which many staff and students have come to depend. To allow such an element to drop from the programme would quite simply be a giant step backward. In an article in Imprint last week, Pat Robertson (vice-president, university services) was quoted as saying that the decision to close the Centre was “a question of priorities”. If this is the case, then I dare say that we need to take a long, hard look at our priorities. and then get them straight. David Wills 4B Kinesiology

Police over-readion alleged in arrest of ,demonstrator x by Frank van Biesen Imprint staff _

Former UW student Gregory Allan Brown was arrested for trespassing last Sunday at a peace demonstration in Bingeman Park. The arrest, by Waterloo Regional Police, was too forceful. according to Brown, who received facial lacerations and other bruises to his body. The demonstration was organized by the ACT (Against Cruise Testing) for Disarmament coalition and was scheduled to coincide with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s appearance at the Berkeley Room, Bingeman Park. Approximately 30 protestors. including Brown, followed the PM’s motorcade into the park where they encountered a road block. Brown, thinking the police had no right to block the road, and not realizing the park is private property, decided to run through the woods around the barricade. Two police officers caught him and tripped him, according to Brown. His face was then repeatedly pushed into the icy snow, he said, while he was not struggling in any way. Even while being handcuffed, his face was again pushed into the snow, said Brown. “I said, ‘I give, I give’ and my hands were at my side the whole time.” Brown admitted it was an impulsive action on his part. As the ‘motorcade passed by the protestors at the entrance to Bingeman Park, “he [ Mulroney] just sneered at us,” said Brown, “it pissed

National

me off. I wanted to do something.” He noted, however, that “unnecessary force was used”‘in the arrest. Brown has filed a citizen’s complaint against the two officers in question. He will not press assault charges since there were no witnesses, and he would be “wasting his time,” he said. Chris Reid, a representative for the ACT for Disarmament coalition, and one of the organizers of the demonstration, said “the police overreacted.” Reid added that there possibly were witnesses to the incident, and is attempting to contact them.-“We haven’t had a chance to get anybody yet,” he said. On duty at police headquarters at the time of the incident was Sgt. A. Cassidy, of the Waterloo Regional Police. Cassidy said he knew of an arrest at the demonstration. but had not heard of the excessive force complaint. Sgt. J. McBride. of the Citizen’s Complaint Branch of the Waterloo Regional Police, handled the complaint. “The complaint will be investigated,” said McBride, which involves hearing the officers’ side of the story as well as looking for witnesses. As investigator, he will submit the report to his superiors, and the plaintiff [ Brown] will be informed of the results, including disciplinary action, if any. “The process could take three to five weeks,” said McBride, “depending on the workload of the department.” Brown was fined $53 for the trespassing charge and subsequently released from police custody.

So.uth Moresby

Slide tour of B.C. forests presented by M.A. Morley Imprint staff For twenty years now, natives and environmentalists have dreamed about persuading the British Columbia government to declare South Moresby, an area in the Queen Charlotte Islands of Canada’s West Coast, a national park. And for twenty years, said Al Whitney, “the government has studied the problem to death, but the logging still goes on”. Whitney, a wilderness tour operator in the Queen Charlottes, spoke at Seigfreid Hall this past Tuesday, to make a case against further logging of the islands. Instead of employing rhetoric, Whitney took the 40 people who turned out for the event on a “slide tour” of the islands, describing their treasures with the simple eloquence of a man who has taken them to heart. “Walking in those forests is much like walking in Chartres or Notre Dame,” Whitney said, “it’s cathedral-like.” He estimated that it has been 4,000 years since the last forest fire occured in the area. The forests are open, overgrown with a rich, deep moss, and contain huge trees. In one slide, seven people stood shoulder to shoulder in front of the trunk of an enormous spruce, 42 ft. in circumference. The forests of South Moresby also support a tremendous amount of animal life. In terms of birds alone, they are one of the world’s two larg-

est nesting places for the Bald Eagle (the other is in Alaska), and are a home for 80 per cent of Canada’s Peregrine Falcon population. In addition, they are inhabited by the Red Throated Loonand Great Blue Heron, and are a stop-over for migratory birds such as the Arctic Loon from the north, and Sooty Shearwaters from as far away as Chile and’New Zealand. Also to be found in South Moresby are some of the last remains of “a major culture,” said Whitney, referring to- the Native Haida Indians who still inhabit the area. “People tend to call this sort of culture ‘primitive’,” he said, “this society was not primitive in any way I can understand. Their art and drama, for example, were highly sophisticatd.” The Haida in the area now, he said, are the descendants of the one-in-twenty Native people who survived the smallpox epidemics that accompanied white settlement of the area at the turn of the century. Whitney showed slides of carved totem poles still surviving from the previous era, some easily accessible, others found in the depths of the forest, echoing the silence of a vanished people. One site of 19 poles has been preserved by the United Nations as a world heritage site, he explained. “It’s a place where you just feel power.” Whitney said after the slide show that the B.C.

forest industry obtained the lease on a block of land including the South Moresby Islands from the government about six years ago for $450 million. South Moresby, he said, represents seven per cent of the whole area leased, or about $30 million of the original investment. “The industry now estimates the value (of the South Moresby lands only) at one billion dollars,” he smiled wryly, “that’s a mighty nice profit.” Not surprisingly, there is a major controversy over the future of the islands. Whitney was hoping for a favorable decision from the provincially-appointed Wildlife Advisory Committee, expected that same day. The committee was considering several options, one recommending that the entire area be logged. While hoping the committee would recommend the area be declared a national park-land, Whitney admitted the possibility a recommendation for small preserved areas surrounded by logging might be made. “Little, wee parks totally surrounded by logging . . . is not conservation; it’s a rip-off,” he said, noting that such a proposal would be harder to fight than if the whole area were slated for logging, because it would appear that the government had done something. The Haida are also fighting the logging plans. Ten Haida have already been arrested for blocking logging crews trying to enter the lands ins

question. Whitney speculates that no more have been arrested because “there are 500 more willing to be arrested” and the initial arrests have already cost the government close to a quarter of a million dollars. “In my opinion. . . the Haida will not allow the trees to be cut,” he said. Whitney said he is very optimistic about the preservation of South Moresby. A rail ‘caravan’ in support of the islands has been planned and will be making “whistle stops” in major Canadian cities on its way from.Halifax to B.C. A Toronto stop is set for Monday, March 10, with speakers to include Pierre Burton and representatives of the South Moresby preservation groups. Whitney urged people to come out “so the media can show the popular support for the islands to the government.” The Waterloo Public Interest Research Group is planning a bus trip to Toronto to participate in the “Save South Moresby Celebration”. Anyone interested in going can catch a bus outside of the Math Building.at 5:30 pm. on Monday. Tickets are $7 per person and can be purchased at the bus. If you are interested in the issue, but can’t make the bus trip, you can still sign a petition for the preservation of South Moresby in the WPIRG offices, now located under the big smokestack in the General Service Complex.

R.esurniiservice questioned TORONTO (CUP) -- Campus employment officers are cautiously disapproving of a ‘new placement agency that charges students $25 to send their resume to employers by computer. The University and College Placement Association, representing about 1,000 employers and campus employment centres, refused to endorse Campus Connections last semester because it charges students for a service the UCPA feels they get for free on campus. However, campus placement officers admitted they were unfamiliar with the new service and that it might be of genuine benefit for students. The company began operation in December and, according to founder Dale Richards, has signed on “a couple of hundred students”. The system

is currently only available in Ontario, but may be extended nationally. It offers resumes electronically to 5,000 companies world-’ wide (3,500 in Canada) on the I.P. Sharp data tran.sfer system. Graduating students pay $25 to be listed for six months and most companies pay about a dollar a minute to I.P. Sharp for computer time.

with more employers than do0 campus employment centres. Student reps on campus get $5 for each fellow student they sign up for the service. So far, some 100 companies have pulled about 1,000 resumes from Ithe databank, Richards said. But campus employment officers and some companies are wary of the service.

Richards defended the idea, saying both students and employers will save money. He said his research indicates jobseekers generally spend more than $25 to send out applications, and that the approximately $30 a firm might spend to look at resumes is less than the $500 they often spend on newspaper advertisements. The 26-year-old University of Western Ontario graduate said Campus Connections deals

“I generally am not supportive of these types of services that are already available to our students free of charge,” said Jan Basso, past president of the UCPA and manager of the Wilfrid taurier University placement centres. Three other employment officers echoed that comment. They said the employers reached would be largely the same, that job applications require more than simply a re-

sume and that the service doesn’t teach students jobsearch techniques. However, some said the service has its good points: maximum exposure, a standardized format and a low cost. Companies also seem to have reservations about the service. “Many of our employer members said they wouldn’t use it anyway because they don’t feel they should have to pay for something they can get for free (at campus placement agencies),” said U PCA executive-director Jim Duncan. Steve Cobbold, Bank of Montreal staffing manager said, “To have a system support process would be, for the number of people we recruit, rather elaborate.” The bank hires about 45 MBAs and 10 undergraduates a year and most of those are hired through oncampus interviews. he said.

Food for Tho.ught Vegetarianism: isolation or unification? by Cindy Long Recently, some vegetarians on campus have announced that they are forming a club. Befare 1 am attacked for being anti-vegetarian, (I am not), let me explain why this worries me somewhat. First, there are already enough people around who think that vegetarians are a group of self-righteous snobs. Forming a distinct group of vegetarians can only serve to reinforce this prejudiced and (I hope) unwarranted opinion. Second, forming any group on the basis of a personal choice of lifestyle seems in antithesis to the idea, to which a lot of vegetarians subscribe, that the world needs more unity instead of division. I am aware that such clubs are formed for a number of reasons. People enjoy socializing with others who have similar interests. Recipes (in this case) can be shared. Those vegetarians who feel they have been singled out as strange because of their choice to abstain from meat can find acceptance in such a group. Finally, it serves to make others aware (through ads, potluck suppers, etc.) of an alternative lifestyle. All these could be cited as good reasons for forming a club. My point? By creating a separate social group, vegetarians are running the risk of alienating themselves from the rest of society (even if it is only a campus society) and the risk of perpetuating an undeserved image. 1 only hope that the underlying motivations for forming the club stem from a desire for unification and not isolation. I would consider myself selfish if 1 did not pass on this excellent recipe:

175 ml. flour l 2 sq. unsweetened chocolate 125 ml. butter l 2 ml. baking powder l 250 ml. sugar l 2 ml. salt l 5 ml. vanilla l 125 ml. chopped nuts l 2 eggs’ Melt the butter and chocolate. Cool slightly. Blend in sugar and vanilla. Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix the remaining dry ingredients in well. Pour into a greased cake-pan and bake at 350° F. for 25 - 30 minutes. Icing l 50 ml. butter l 1 sq. unsweetened chocolate l 5 ml. vanilla l .500 ml. sifted icing sugar l 25 ml. milk. Cream butter, add melted chocolate (melt it over boiling water). Gradually add sugar, alternately with milk and vanilla. Stir until smooth. Wait until brownies cool before icing them. When the top swelled some and cracked, 1 poked them with a skewer. It came out gooey so I cooked them about 2-5 more minutes and they were done. Brownies should be really moist, so be careful not to leave them in too long. If you don’t like nuts, you can add other ingredients. (Just make sure you don’t get caught!) Whenever you substitute an ingredient, make sure it will add the same amount of moisture to the recipe as the original one. l l

Forrester to be WLU’s n&w chancellor ’ Maureen Forrester, Canada’s great operatic star who is considered by, many to be the finest contralto now performing, will become chancellor of Wilfrid Laurier University at the university’s spring convocation, May 25. She succeeds John Aird, former lieutenant-governor of Ontario, who served the university as chancellor for eight years. He has recently been named chancellor emeritus, a newly created position. Commenting on the two appointments, Dr. John A. Weir, president of WLU, said he was doubly delighted that such a world-renowned musician had consented to become charlcellor and that Aird will be available to provide his advice and ongoing counsel. “Miss Forrester’s appointment also underlines Laurier’s reputation for excellence of its music faculty,” he said. The u&versity’s new chancellor received an honourary degree from Laurier in November, 1975, and has also received honorary doctorates from a number of other universities, 13 in all. The Laurier citation for her degree began with these words: “Maureen Forrester, often described as a singer with ‘a pure gold voice,’ has blazed a trail of triumph across Canada -- and the world. The subject of ecstatic critical acclaim, she was once described by the music review for the Chicago American as ‘Canada’s most precious natural resource since gold was discovered in the Klondike.” Forrester, who began her career singing in church choirs, made her professional debut in 1953 with the Montreal Symphony. under

the baton of Otto Klemper. * Forrester made her first American appearance at Carnegie Hall, singing Gustav Mahler’s Resurrection symphony. She has been considered the world’s leading intqrpreter of _Mahler ever since. Since those days, she has become a leading contralto and has been heard on five continents and with virtually every major orchestra. She is, in fact, the favourite of many of the great conductors -Eugene Ormandy, Herbert von Karajan, Leonard Bernstein, and Seiji Ozawa, among others. In 1978, she had the distinction of being one of the w&Id’s first major soloists to tour China, singing with the Toronto Symphony. She performed some songs in Chinese, to the obvious delight of her audiences. In a rare move, the government invited her back to China so that 1 she could give more concerts and lecture to students who were showing potential as serious performers in the western style. Laurier’s new chancellor devotes much time to the operatic stage, having made her debut with the Metropolitan Opera of New York in 1975. In 1967, Forrester was made a Companion of the Order of Canada, one of three women.to be awarded the honor the year the Order was established. In addition, she has, since 1984, been chairman of the Canada Council, the government agency that promotes and sponsors the arts in Canada.

Research Agencies told to get more private funds r

by John Gushe Science and Technology Writer of Canadian University Press OTTAWA (CUP) - University researchers may be trading jobs in lab coats for business suits following the Feb. 26 budget recommendations of increased private sector financing for campus labs. While the country’s three research granting bodies - the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, the Social Sciences and Hu-, manities Research Council, and the Medical Research Council - have all been given sustained funding for, five years, they have all been told to attract more funding from private industry. In his budget statement, Finance Minister Michael Wilson said an extra $300 million dollars 3 over five years will be allotted to all three councils, and that the government will match dollar for dollar all private sector contributions to each council, to a maximum of six per cent. He said he was confident the scheme would work, and that “contact between the business and academic communities would be improved.” Canadian University Press asked Wilson how he knows business will answer the challenge and invest money in the councils. “This is an experiment,” Wilson said. “I’ve talked to a number of people. They are giving a grat deal of sudport [to this plan].. We believe they will rise to the occasion. “We don’t want the private sector going off [quietly] in their own corner doing their research and the granting councils in their corner. “We’re trying to build a greater degree of cooperation. We want to see how this evolves but there is a potential of raising $1 billion for research and develdpment,” Wilson said. Initial reaction from NSERC and SSHRC, who submitted comprehensive five year funding plans to the government last summer, is hesitant.

Education deductions I Students who attended UW in the summer of 1985 are entitled to claim the month of April on their education deduction certificates when they send in their 1985 tax returns. Because of a mix up in the Registrar’s Office, the certificates only list the months from may to August, 1985. The summer -term, however, began on April 30, so students can claim a $50 deduction for the entire month. Students-wishing to do this must go to the Registrar’s Office, room 200 1, and have their certificates adjusted.

Ever been to a place where they don’t care about your student number and are willing to hear you auf whether you’re in Arts, Engineering, or anything in between? Why not .drop by the Mug Coffeehouse? The Mug has provided students with a relaxing Friday night of music and good company since the early 1970s. It offers a place to talk to old friends, meet new ones, or just listen to the live artists who perform throughout the term. For those suffering from the campus food blues, homemade baked goods, tea, coffee, and hot apple cider are available! The entertainment is top notch and this is evident with the performer coming in for March 7th. Rob Jaster is a solo singer-guitarist who, during his previous engagement, had his audience spell-bound. Following this, there will be a talent night on Friday, March 14th. Terry Oddette will be the

performer on the 21st and, for the final Mug on March 2&h, there will be one of two performerswho are currently being asked to perform. The Mug runs year round. In the summer terms, the Mug holds outdoor concerts on campus. During the cooler months, however, the Mug is held in the Campus Centre, Rm 110, from 8:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Finally, although the Mug is run by Waterloo Christian Fellowhip and is called a “coffee house”, it is not considered to be a “members - only club”.

Related to loss of income are: the loss of thousands of homes to mortgage holders, family breakups and personal bankruptcies. Downside Adjustments traces these problems through the story of one family. It interweaves their personal experiences with interviews with Moe Class, the president of Chrysler, Canada; Harley Shaiken, an international consultant on the social costs of high technology; and Jean-Claude Parrot, vicepresident of the Canadian Labour Congress. Downside Adjustments shows that what is occuring in Windsor will happen across the country as industry retools and we move to the paperless office. It also suggests that the communities affected have to be informed and prepare for these changes.

Peace marchers reflect on a ‘\ positive -experience Saunders: Reagan’s military strategy is to try and turn people in Central America against the Sandinista government. MacKinlay: The whole region does have a similar history. It goes right back to the Spanish conquistadors and the obliteration of the Mayan and Aztec cultures.

by Rick Nigol Imprint staff . Two people from U W who participated in the March for Peace in Central America this past December and January say it was a worthwhile and rewarding experience. Barb Saunders, a UW student and women’s rights activist, and Doug MacKinlay, a co-ordinator for WPIRG, reflect on the March as a positive experience. They say it was a good way to show solidarity with the people of Central America and that a world-wide network was established of people concerned about the continuing violence and oppresion in the region.

For centuries foreign sovereigns have dominated the region and made the people dependent on them. Now, Amercian business interests are entrenched in Central America and they have taken land away from millions of peasants. It’s a classic story of colonialism extended by 20th Century corporate interests. What about the East[West struggle in the region? MacKinlay: It’s a small factor in the perpetuation of poverty and oppression in Central America. The Soviets really don’t have as much of a presence in the region as do the Americans. The whole East-West rivalry is used all over the world.as a means by either superpower to push it’s interests and justify the selling of vast amounts of arms to their proxies.

The March drew more than 300 people from around the world. They marched from Panama to Mexico to draw attention to the abuse of human rights in Central America. Following are excerpts from an interview with Saunders and MacKinlay: Were your preconceptions of the region affirmed or dashed? Saunders: The poverty hit me like a slap in the face. Seeing out one side of the bus the extreme poverty in the slums of Panama, and out the other side, seeing the luxuriousness of the U.S. military base .. that hit me very hard, it was a very emotional time for me. MacKinlay: I don’t think the poverty shocked me. It was what I expected.

What were your impressions of Nicaragua? Saunders: I left my heart in Nicaragua. The spirit was just incredible. In some sense I was anticipating a’lot of anxiety and sadness because of their poverty and because of the pressures they are under. It was just the opposite. I was there to give them energy and support, and it just seemed to flip right around.

In some press reports it was said that Central Americans thought the marchers were meddling in their affairs and that they were not well received. MacKinlay: That’s absolutely untrue. The intensity of the reaction varied from country to country. All local peace organizations were very positive about our presence:

MacKinlay: I went out of my way to find opposition within the country. Overall, most are supportive of the revolution in Nicaragua. Some, however, are disappointed that expectations raised by revolutionary fervor have not been met. But most realize that 40% of GNP has to be directed -toward the military to defend the country.

When we were attacked in Costa Rica, it is important to realize that while there where 50 or 70 mobsters throwing stones and tear gas at us, there were 400 supporters on our side of the street. What are the roots of the conflict in Central America?

The Nicaraguan revolution means better health care for the majority of Nicaraguans and a right to determine their own priorities. What are the prospects for peaceful change in the region?

Doug MacKinlay: “The East-West rivalry is a small factor in the, perpetuation of poverty and oppression in Central America.” ‘\ Photo by Joe Muller MacKinlay: I don’t have very much hope. I think the United States has dug in its heels. I think their economic and military interests in the area are going to push the reactionaries to continue their policies. 1 think it’s politically naive to expect sweeping changes in the near future. Saunders: I’m more of an idealist.

UK biology expert coining to Waterloo ’ ’ Christopher Knowles, University of Kent, United Kingdom, will become a faculty member of the University of Waterloo on Aug. 1. The announcement was made Monday on the UW campus by Dr. Gordon MacNabb, president, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), Ottawa. Knowles will join U W’s biology department as NSERC-Allelix Industrial Research Professor of. Microbial Physiology. Allelix Inc., is a Malton biotechnology enterprise, set up with federal government, Ontario provincial government and private industry support, Knowles will also be closely involved with Guelph-Waterloo Biotech (GWB), a research centre set upjointly by the University of Guelph and UW. He will be working, with fellow scientists and engineers on both campuses. (A second chair, still to be filled will focus on plant biotechnology and will be located at Guelph.) Knowles’ decision to move to Canada is regarded as a significant boon to the Canadian research community. Though he is still early on in his career as a scientist, he is already widely regarded as one of the world’s leading biotechnologists. His field is microbial physiology.. . the genetic engineering of microbial life forms to do whatever tasks one might ask of them. One recent accomplishment -- developing new biotechnology for degrading cyanide (a highly toxic substance) from industrial wastes -- will earn ICI, the British chemical giant, millions of dol1ars.a year and at the same time deal more effectively with a serious pollution problem. He has many other extensive contacts with industry in Europe and North America and- his work has resulted in a number of successful patents. “There is no doubt Prof. Knowles will provide a very important additional thrust to the development of biotechnology in Canada. . and not.just on the Guelph and Waterloo campuses,” said Dr. Douglas Wright, UW president. “ We feel extremely fortunate our country has been able to attract him. Obviously, it’s the kind of thing Canadian universities would like to do more of if they receive sufficient support.” He said biotechnology is, today, similar to computer technology at the advent of the transistor; it promises to develop very rapidly and very extensively within the next couple of decades. “We think great advances are in store in this area in the very near future,” Wright said,“and are appreciative that NSERC and Allelix have made it possible to attract such a distinguished scientist to Guelph-Waterloo Biotech.” “For a changer Canada is the recipient of a ‘brain gain’, instead of losing out to the United States in the ‘brain drain’ as has been happening so often recently.” Dr. MacNabb said Dr. Knowles’ arrival is viewed as a significant step forward for Canadian research in the biotechnology area. “NSERC is pleased that the University of Waterloo has been able to attract a researcher of the eminence of Dr. Knowles, ” MacNabb said. “It demonstrates once again that given adequate funding and a challenging research en.vironment, universities have little difficulty

in drawing researching from industry and from abroad. There is no doubt the key to the future in biotechnology, as in all high technology fields, is manpower. This is why NSERC is particularly pleased to play a role in this most encouraging new development. NSERC, Canada’s largest research granting council, supports advanced research and development at Canadian universities and encourages collaboration between the academic and industrial sectors. Last year, NSERC invested almost $18 million in research grants and scholarships at the University of Waterloo. Creation of

the new biotechnology chair at U W was made possible through the Council’s university-program. A key factor in Knowles’ decision to come to Waterloo is the existing research strength within the university’s biology department; its 31 faculty members won grants and con_tracts totalling almost $2.5 million last year. The NSERC-Allelix chair will be funded for five years during which Knowles can devote his efforts solely to research and the training of graduate students.

Using hypnosis to overcome strbss’ MONTREAL (CUP) -- Mary ‘Lemieux used to get so tense and agitated during exams she would literally “blank out” and not be able to remember what she had studied. The 23-year old Concordia student’s grades dropped and she began to lose confidence in her intellectual ability. Today, Lemieux is very relaxed and confident when she takes exams, and is getting almost straight As in her science programme, she said. Like many students Lemieux was suffering from “exam anxiety,” a mental state which can be combatted through self-hypnosis, according to the Canadian Hypnotherapy Association. The Association is one of 13 commercial hypnosis centres in the Montreal phone book. Virtually every group contacted said they had students enrolled in self-hypnosis courses. The Association, however, targets the student audience. ‘*During exam time, .I have had as many as 40 students a day taking the course,” said Miriam Praw, the association’s director. Self-hypnois worked for Concordia student Lemieux. “I feel completely relaxed during exam time now,” said Lemieux, “and 1 find that doing self-hypnosis has enabled me to concentrate my energy and thoughts in one direction. When 1 arrive at the exams now, all I think about is giving my best and,doing well. It ‘works wonderfully.” The Association advertises with classified ads i.n Montreal university and CEGE,P papers. The ads read: “Guaranteed higher grades. Written guarantee you’ll pass every course through unlimited hypnosis and flotation, or money refunded.” The Association is the only place in Canada that refunds money if hypnosis has not worked, Praw said. However, written guarantees are not given unless a student takes a three monthly programme of hypnosis with sessions in the sensory deprivation tank, said Praw. This programme costs $600. No guarantee is given for the regular four-session programme, which costs $175. “Of the several hundred students I had in last fall, only one student was refunded,” said Praw.

“About 85 per cent of the people will get to a nice level of hypnosis after four sessions. If this does not-get you deep enough, we suggest you use the flotation tank to relax yourself.” The flotation tank costs $20 for one hour. Praw teaches hypnosis in group sessions with lo-12 students who get hypnotised simultaneously. Math student Paul Petrides starting using hypnosis for memory improvement. “I wanted to be able to retiember more in a much shorter period of time and more easily as well as more accurately. The technique of self-hypnosis has allowed me to do this,” he said. One McGill student used hypnosis to help her learn a second language. Self-hypnosis, once learned, can be used for everything from higher grades to self-confidence, weight loss and quitting smoking, Praw claimed. Praw tried to dispel myths about hypnosis. Many people think hypnosis is a “surrendering?’ of the will where all control is in the hands of the hypnotists, said Praw. However, she said any suggestion can be rejected, or accepted and once the technique of self-hypnosis is learned, no one has to depend on an instructor. Suggestibility is an impbrtant element in hypnosis, she said. Suggestion refers to how easily beliefs are,aroused in the subject. Everyday propaganda, for example, in the form of advertising, politics, magazines and religion works as a suggestion on our subconscious all the time, she said. Hypnosis is simply the response to suggestion, whether from oneself, or someone else. Clinical psychologist Jerome Legault, who teaches at the Universite du Quebec a Montreal and specializes in problems of memory said there -have not been many studies about hypnosis and the subconscious links between them were only hypothetical. He added, however, “I believe hypnosis could probably help memory simply because it iallows the individual to relax enough so as to be able to pull things out of the long-term memory, and the information in this long-term memory becomes more accessible.”

Apartheid must be defeated by M.A. Morley, Imprint staff, with Tana Turner, WPIRG staff All our heartfelt condemnations of the racist regime of apartheid in South Africa mean nothing until we act. It’s time for us to end the hypocrisy of our inaction and get serious about economic sanetions. Sanctions are the one expression of our disgust with apartheid that the white minority government in South Africa cannot ignore. South Africa, due to the forced poverty of the majority of its large . population - 24 million blacks - lacks a large internal market. Thus, South Africa is heavily dependent on foreign trade which allows the maintenance of economic growth and high standard of living enjoyed by that nation’s four million whites. It is foreign trade which is directly responsible for the continuation of the racist regime. Unlike internal pressure from South Africa’s blacks, external pressure for the ending of apartheid cannot be quelled with tear gas and truncheons. The South African government is forced to re-examine its racist policies when economic support for those policies is cut off. Many people, however, still raise objections to sanctions, saying that they are ineffective, or that they may even worsen the situation for South Africa’s blacks. Let us address some of these questions with the facts. Won’t sanctions hurt the blacks the most? No. South Africa’s blacks already suffer abominable treatment, living in squalid conditions, supporting the white-dominated economy with virtual slave-labour. Because ownership and control allows the whites to reap the benefits of the South African economy (one example being the legislation which ensures that blacks will be paid less than whites, even if performing the same task) it is the whites who suffer when foreign investment is withdrawn. This effect has already been seen as some white business interests have petitioned the Botha government for reform under threat of economic sanctions. Sanctions work. There is no guarantee that blacks will not suffer if full scale sanctions are imposed, but it is a price they are willing to pay to end the long-term human abuse which apartheid entails.

If sanctions are successful, and the white government is brought down, isn’t it still true that chaos could erupt, especially between tribes, because black South Africans lack political leadership that is skilled in the running of the country? Observable rifts between tribes in black South Africa are the direct result of the government’s policy of divide and rule which pits blacks against blacks. This situation would of course be ended with the end of apartheid. The African National Congress (ANC) is the political voice of the majority of black South Africans. It is currently outlawed by the South African government, but remains very active outside South Africa. There is no shortage of exiled South Africans with economic and political expertise who will return to South Africa to assist in the formation of a new government. Further, The ANC has stated that it is not anti-white, but rather anti-apartheid. The ANC will, therefore, work with whites to form the new government. There is nothing preventing the ANC from making use of poltical resources which already exist in South Africa.

we impose sanctions, won’t Canadians lose jobs? The South Africah Congress of Trade Unions Solidarity Committee(SSC) researched this question and published their conclusions in 1985. They found that the number of jobs threatened by sanctions in the short term in Canada would be 38 1. South Africa ranks 27th as a destination of Canadian exports and accounts for only 0.19% of our total exports. The 381 jobs we stand to lose are still less than, for example, the 450 Canadian jobs lost in one shot with the recent Alcan announcement of plans to move its extrusion and billet production operations from Kingston, Ontario to a Toronto plant employing 3 “labour saving” technology. Canadian corporations saying potential job loss at home (or for that matter in South Africa) is a reason not to divest are merely cloaking their economic interests in South Africa with a psuedo-issue that is of no importance to them. While it is not our intention to minimize the implications of losing 38 1jobs, this figure must be weighted in the balance with the mass human suffering to which our support of apartheid, through continuing trade, contributes. If Canada is such a small trading partner with South Africa, can sanctions have any real effect? Yes. As of 198 1, SSC estimated Canada’s investment in apartheid at no less than one billion dollars. Because South Africa depends so heavily on its links with the West, the withdrawal of even a minor trading partner such as Canada leaves it visibly affected. In compa, rison to investment by the United States and Great Britain, Canada’s investment is, of course, relatively small. We should not, however, under-estimate the symbolic value of a divestment campaign launched in Canada, one of the most advanced and respected nations in the Western world..

Hector Peterson, the first child to be shot dead by police in Soweto

Isn’t the South African government already doing something about apartheid? No. While South Africa’s government has made token cosmetic changes to the apartheid system, real results are yet to-be seen. The colonialist rape of a people continues. SSC reported in 1985 that South African blacks suffer an infant death rate (widely held as a standard of a nation’s development) of a near unbelievable 40’%, as compared with a rate of 2.7% for whites. Black South Africans have 1.1 doctors for every 100,000 of population, compared with 303 for whites, and can expect, on average, to live 14.5 years less than whites, and earn roughly one fourteenth of what whites earn. These are phenomenal differences, brought about by social inequalities of horrendous-proportions. In addition, blacks are still denied the vote, are unable to move freely outside the “Bantustans” (the so-called “Homelands,‘* really no more than glorified desert lands assigned to the blacks, comprising a miserable 13% of South Africa’s land mass), are unable to voice views in opposition to aparatheid, and are restricted in the jobs they may hold (leaving them occupying the vast majority of unskilled and blue collar jobs, and accounting for the brunt of industrial deaths). Black South Africans are still beaten, clubbed, whipped and jailed in staggering numbers. The South African government is making no concrete move to end apartheid, and. will remain stolid as long as the economic impetus driving this system of exploitation, based on the absurd criterion of skin colour, is not withdrawn through sanctions. How can one person here in Canada possibly have any effect? Right now, our government and businesses (for example, CKCO television, right here in K-W) are reluctant to act for two reasons: corporate greed, and the relative silence of ordinary citizens. Black activist groups get a standard response from Ottawa’s External Affairs department when demanding action: we haven’t got any public support; we are receiving very few letters on the subject, and therefore do not have the mandate to act. A similar response was offered by the station management of CKCO when protestors picketed their station for running ,pro-South African travel ads.. “Nobody cares,” they seemed to be saying. , Far from being powerless, you are the only one who can change this situation. WRITE!! Send letters to External Affairs Minister Joe Clark and Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Let them know (in a polite way) that you disapprove of Canada’s participation in apartheid through investment, and that ‘you are embarrassed by it as a Canadian. Ask them to withdraw from trade with South Africa until the government there acts to bring an end to apartheid. Write to your local MP (Walter MacLean for Waterloo North), and your local MPP (Herb Epp for Waterloo), asking them to bring your concern to the attention-of the government. Demand action! Beyond this most important gesture, there are a number of things you can do. First, boycott South African products. This has to be the easiest way to combat apartheid. All you have to do is read the label before you buy something. If it’s from South Africa, don’t buy it. The most common items from South Africa you will encounter are canned and fresh fruits and vegetables in grocery stores such as Mr. Grocer’s and Zehrs. (By the way, that pineapple on your UW Food Services pizza slice is also from South Africa.) In most cases there is an alternative of comparable quality and price that you can pick-up instead. Do it! Other items to avoid are Carling O’Keefe products and Rothman’s - Pall Mall cigarettes. Next, you can withdraw yourinvestment inapartheid. Withdraw ‘your accounts from Canadian chartered banks that continue to lend support to apartheid: The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, the Bank of Montreal, and the Bank of Nova Scotia. You can move your accounts to credit unions, trust companies, or the one chartered bank which has stated its intention to lend no more money to South Africa, the Toronto-Dominion Bank. Write a letter to the bank manager stating why you have decided to stop doing business with them, and forward copies to the head office. Apartheid has got to go; when we put pressure on the banks that are pumping money into South Africa and contributing to the system of racism by allowing the growth of a huge military machine, we are cutting to the core. I

Most important, and irrespective of the considerations above, it is the right of the majority in South Africa to form a democratic government. The ANC has stated its commitment to representation of the majority through one vote for each person, and is committed to recognizing whatever form of government is chosen. No one stood in the way of Cory Aquino and her supporters when they so bravely challenged the Marcos regime in the Phillipines. Western governments were quick in recognizing her government, and that “champion of freedom,” the United States, wasted no time in taking credit for supporting the Phillipine majority’s right to democractic representation. Another aspect of the Phillipine situation relevent here is that Aq,uino has been able to incorporate positive elements of the old government into her new government in a productive way. Finally, we must realize that without applying the pressure of sanctions we risk an eruption of revolutionary bloodshed in South Africa which would indeed be tragic. Sanctions are a lever which can make guns unnecessary. Let’s use them. Why should I get involved? Why should I bother? You are the only one who is going to change the abuse and exploitation of human beings in South Africa. You are the only one who can initiate a peaceful change. If y,ou don’t care, the multi-national corporations with interests in South Africa don’t care, and the South-African government doesn’t care. Their only interest is in profit; profit at aiy cost, so to speak. If ypu don’t act to change apartheid, you must accept your -share of responsibility for its continuation. The issue of apartheid is not black versus white. It is an economic issue - the product of unrestrained capitalism. This system doesn’t serve its subjects; it consumes them. With no regard for suffering, anguish, loss, or death. It is a cannibalistic system. It has to go. What South Africa reflects is not just “the South Africa problem.” It reflects a problem with corporate greed which exists everywhere in the world, the lack of corporate sensibility for anything flesh and blood. The blood of a corporatiqn is money; how can it have any respect for mere mortals? We can’t sit around waiting for a corporate conscience to develop. It won’t. We have to be that conscience, we are that conscience. Let’s come awake, let’s break the parasitic cannibalism of apartheid before it sucks the blood out of all of us.

Altemdives by Cindy Long Imprint staff “Food for People, Not for Profit!” That’s the slogan adopted by OPIRG (Ontario Public Interest Research Group), one of the many groups which, among other activities, represents the interests of those who have decided that it is time to pay attention to what we eat, where it comes from, and who is gaining from it at our expense. In bygone years, these questions would never have been an issue. Your food came from your garden, your neighbour’s garden or the local butcher, miller or grocer, who usually sold only that which ‘local farmers produced. Today wehave stipermarkets and are able to buy anything from apples to coconuts, milk to fruit-bottomed yogurt, and grains to meat, all in a single trip. In an age when we are becoming more concerned about our health and the health of the planet we live on, some questions come to mind. Do we really know what we are getting when we cruise those brightly coloured aisles? Should we stop to think where our money is going, or more importantly, where it is not going? Are we choosing our food or “doing the groceries,” - the choice already having been made for us? Author Robert Elwood Jr. pointed out: “...the physical body is in continual and necessary interaction with the environment .. . It is only a certain debatable perspective that makes us include the stomach when we say ‘myself, but not the field that grows the food it-digests, or the sun that makes it grow.” I would add “or the food itself.” What we shovel down our throats 1becomes, in a sense, our bodies. In the same sense, the system by which we obtain our food becomes our perspective of how things work. Few people would disagree if told the food they buy contains potentially harmful additives, or that they are paying too much for that food, yet we faithfully continue to attend the weekly celebration of the crowded aisle and empty wallet at our local supermarket. Many reasons can cause people to continue to do something that irks them. One of the most compelling of these reasons is the feeling that we have no choice but to go along with the existing system -that we do not. have an alternative. Alternatives exist, but they’re not sitting neatly in an aisle waiting to be dropped into our carts. To make the alternatives work, we need to do at least two things: 1. We must be willing to make an individual commitment to effect changes in our own lives. 2. We have to recognize the importance of our co-existence with other people and with our entire planet. This article is mainly about food, but the two premises required for change can be.applied to any system which has become more harmful than helpful. Eating is something that affects us every day of our lives from our birth to our death. By examining the institutionalization of our food, perhaps we can discover whether or not we have the ability to break free from the commercialism that we complain about and whether or not we are able to find a new way of living.

Whenever there is an issue that needs to be dealt with and which requires large numbers of people to become involved, there is bound to be a lot of confusion regarding the facts and the fiction. Someone once said “It’s a shame ignorance isn’t painful.‘* How true. And how ironic, because ignorance has Icaused and will continue to cause pain and suffering the world over. How many of us have at least once in our lives held the belief that our local supermarket was trying to bring us the lowest prices? Or that someone was in the back of the store, carefully trimming the meat to perfection? Or that the weekly specials were a sacrifice on the part of the store? We’ve been bombarded since we were old enough to listen and read with fables of competition and service. The truth is, five buyers do the purchasing for the entire nation. What this means is that certain “competing” stores group together under one buyer. -Even between stores that are under different ownership, competition is a myth. Each corporation knows that it will benefit more from co-operation than from outright war, SOspecial tactics are used to create animpression that prices in one supermarket are different from those- in another. Ontario’s Special Committee on Farm Income (1969) concluded: “The advantage to supermarkets of this type of pricing policy is quite clear. If they were to operate with set price lists, consumers would have the opportunity of making comparisons over extended periods of Id time and of discoveringstores which, for their particular needs, were ‘most economical.” Certainly there are sales, but if you follow them closely, you’ll find that what is on sale at Store A one week is on sale at Store B two weeks later and often at both the same week. Sales are a marketing tool. If chips are on sale, so is dip. If soup is on sale, so are crackers. If pancake mix goes on sale, Aunt Jemima is grinning out at us from the syrup bottle right next to it. The message? Buy both. Spaghetti sauce sits near spaghetti, bread and milk are far away from entrances so the shopper who runs in for a carton of milk must pass a lot of displays coming and going. Displays are not always sales, but we assume they are and often do not check. The examples of supermarket manipulation are many. Anyone interested in finding out more should visit the Waterloo Public where they have an Interest Research Group’s office (GSC) impressive collection of articles, pamphlets and books otl the subject. Particularly interesting is “The Crooked Path to Good Eating,” published by OPIRG.‘ It is interesting to note just how far one corporation can reach. Dominion Stores Ltd. is linked with a farm equipment company, a natural resources exploration firm and the CTV television network through ARGUS, the giant conglomerate that has a greedy finger in as many pies as it can grab. When one corporation controls our food from field to table, we suffer. Farmers have the hardest time of any of us. Forced to buy what they cannot afford, grow more than they can harvest and expand to the point of collapse, it’s no wonder that many of them are giving up the fight. As well, multi-national corporations are destroying Third World economies. Foods we import are often produced by agri-businesses that use the best land, hire peasants to work for incredibly low wages and reduce the amount of land available for these people to grow food to feed their own families. With our .money, we are supporting poverty and economic injustice.

to the supermarket

SO the first step in effecting change, then, is to educate ourselves the question “Where isn’t our money going?’ It is not going to the farmer, or to the peasant labourer or to research in waste reduction or recycling. Nor is it going to a store that is “trying to save us money” or “cares about people.” Stores and corporations cannot care about people. Only people can care about people. The fact that supermarkets do not really offer us competitive prices or warm-hearted caring is only part of the story. What they offer us is worse. If we could go back in time and, taste the food our ancestors ate, we would probably notice two interesting things: the vegetables and fruit would be sweeter and everything else would taste less sweet, and less salty. Supermarkets offer us processed food. The advantages of this are convenience, preservation and availability. The disadvantage can be tasted. As well, entire books have been written on additives, preservatives or “food technology” in general and how the widespread practice of altering our food affects our health. Dr. James McSherry, M.D., produced an excellent three-part article entitled “Eating in the 80s” which appeared in the Queen’s Journal (Dec. 85 - Jan. 86). The piece deals extensively with the costs and benefits of processing food. Nearly everything we buy from corporations contains colour or artificial flavours or.unnatural amounts of sugar or salt. Certainly all the chemicals used in processing food can be found to occur naturally in the environment, but it is the amount of these substances that we ingest regularly which is not natural and probably not healthy.

-- answer

Behind the supermarket an incredible marketing machine works furiously deciding what we will buy. Since the legal definition of food additives does not include sugar, salt, starch, vitamins, agricultural chemicals or food packaging materials, among others, we are easily manipulated by the addition of, say, sugar to a fruit drink or cereal. Sugar and salt are addictive substances and both have startling immediate effects on the central nervous system. Sugar, especially, causes an immediate “rush” followed -- perhaps much later -I by lethargy. (Excessive consumption of sugar has been linked to depression). We have grown up eating sugar. We like sugar. We keep buying sugar. The-v keep selling us sugar. isn’t it odd how meat now costs less than cheese or fresh vegetables. The government decided we should eat more meat, the machine revved up its engines and, voila! Cheap meat. Who cares if we waste grain on animals we’re going to slaughter? Who cares if low-income families have to get by on hamburger helper? Do we care? The marketing machine also takes care of advertising. 20 per cent of the price we pay for a can of condensed milk can be accounted for by the pretty label. Supermarkets have up to a several hundred per cent mark-up on certain items. Several hundred percent! Now the machine has turned its mind to plastic. New “unbrtikable” jars and bottles! Milk sold in plastic bags is>cheaper. So is pop sold in plastic “bottles’*. It makes sense. Plastic is cheaper to manufacture. It is a deadly pbison to the environment and is not recyclable, but it’s cheap. Recycling is out, by the way. Campbell’s has started putting aluminum bottoms on their tin cans that cannot be removed with a can opener. This is bad news for recycling plants and for those of us who prefer to squash flat the cans we intend to recycle. Why would they do this? Does anyone care? The machine carries on. Who runs the machine? We do. Every day. They say “Buy!” and we say “How much ?” It’s a rip-off, but it’s not a conspiracy. Corporate executixes are consumers too. The decisions they make are made because of attitudes they have-and beliefs they hold about what is right. We’re at the bottom of the, chain right now and we have cause to complain, but more importantly, we have the power to make a difference. All we need is the,conviction. We need to remember what it is like to be at the bottom so we do not lose sight of our goals as we grow older and wealthier. We need to realize that what we have been taught, and what our children will be taught, epecially at school, are competition, submission to authority, acceptance of the system and intolerance for difference. The questions

we need to begin asking are “What _ can . . I do?’ . . and _. “Where .* I, do1 I start?‘. It is not always easy to break the chain tnat novas us to commercialism. This is where the second pre-requisite for change comes in. We must realize our worth as a global community. It is necesssary, but not sufficient to make the individual commitment to change. In order to make alternatives work, we have to get together. Communication, in the true sense of the word, may well be our only hope for changing a system that is troubling us.

The alternatives to supermarket slavery exist’ but are hiding in the shadow of the machine. Co-ops are probably the most publicized alternative. In.Kitchener, the Ebytown Food Co-op operates with, unfortunately, only 55 members and has this as its mandate: I. To supply members with good quality, nutritious food. 2. To keep prices as low as possible 3. To minimize negative environmental impacts (by using minimal packaging; by buying organically grown food). * 4. To provide a coo,perative and non-hierarchical environment as an alternative to the depersonalization of supermarket shopping. ‘5. To support boycotts based on social justice and buy from local _producers. 6. To give us a degree of economic self-determination. 7. To support other co-ops 8. To nourish a social spirit of community and co-operation that will hopefully extend beyond our co-op and its members. Fundamentally, a co-op is members. Everyone runs it, everyone has a say in the running of it. At present, Ebytown does not offer all - types of food. However, they have a good selection of grains, legumes and baking goods as well as eggs and cheese. If you’re interested, drop by the Ebytown Co-op (225 Weber W., Kitchener) on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday nights or Saturday morning. If joining a co-op seems like a drastic step, there are other ways that we can make a difference. As individuals we can do two main things. Firstly, we can choose to alter our lifestyles slightly so that we slow down the wheels of the machine. Secondly, we can talk to others about what we’re doing and maybe even try to convince them to join us or to find their own personal alternatives. A good way to try to get in touch with the environment, of which we are a part, is to become involved with it on a very basic level. If you have garden space, try growing easy crops like beans, tomatoes, lettuce, potatoes or onions. If you don’t have space, maybe a friend does. Gardening helps us to feel more like a part of things. We begin to notice the season, the smells of the earth, and it is hard to think of a better way to feel good about the cycle of life than by putting our energy into something that will one day return that energy to us. Learn how to cook foods in their natural form and to bake from scratch. An excellent cook book for those interested in changing the way we view food and eating is Diet for a Small Planet. Sometimes negative actions are necessary to effect positive _ changes. Buy selectively. Boycott foods that are full of additives or that come from Third World countries through large corporations. (The logic is simple: If we stop buying it, they stop selling it.) Try Bridgehead products which are-now sold at Mr. Grocer. Pay attention to who gets your money and’your business. Support the local farmers. by shopping at the Farmer’s Market. Re-cycle. Pressure your city council to begin a re-cycling program. Boycott non-recyclable containers and plastic. Teach your children to do these things and you may be’doing them the biggest favour of their lives. All this is not to say that we must become “self-sufficient.” Self-sufficiency implies isolation. We need to become co-sufficient. The competition they taught us from kindergarten on up has outgrown its usefulness. We can achieve more through thoughtful cooperation. It doesn’t end with food. We must stop allowing faceless corporations and mindless bureaucracies to control our lives, which means we have to assume more control. The biggest obstacles we will have to face are ourselves and our attitudes. Once we overcome our resistance to change and our dependence on the system, we can begin to make the dream of a new way a reality. (Cindy Long writes Food for Thought, Imprint’s weekly food column.)

Skirmishes:

Play ‘< -on - death by Harlon Davey Imprint s!aff

Skirmishes, penned by Catherine Hayes and performed at HH180 from Wednesday February 26 to Saturday March 1, is a razor sharp play about a dying mother and her two surviving daughters verbally killing each other at her bedside. The script boldly plays with the taboo subject of death., The humour is black and’ macabre, leaving guilty laughter ringing in the audience. The production, however,

just couldn’t fully resurrect this lively script. Jean is the daughter who has stayed home. to perform the gruesome task of nursing and cleaning her lingering mother. This character is given the best lines, and Diane Ingram’s delivery complements the sarcasm and bitterness of the fretting sardonic sibling. She is skilled enough to get some laughter from the audience while dealing with a sensitive topic. In one funny scene, Jean is pre-writing her mother’s obituary and worries about the

As Jean states, “she was late at birth and again at death”. Rita would rather be home with her husband and children (“Why don’t your bring them home a present, maybe a wreath or two,“). Maria DeMelo is starchy and stiff and appears to be uneasy with the emotions and turmoil her character is confronting. The whole production, in

life

fact, seemed a little awkward and unsteady. The actresses lacked the tension and spontaneity to maintain the drama and suspense. After one hour, the play comes to a grinding halt. The playwright’s conclusion is unsatisfying and avoids dealing with the daughter’s reaction to the delayed-, death of their mother. All in all, while the play explored sharply the themes of death, the production at Hagey Hall was in need of a little life.

WLU Music Faculty performs lively Dickens’ classic by Andrea McKenzie Wilfrid Laurier’s Theatre Auditorium was the scene of the Canadian premier of Arthur Benjamin’s opera A Tale of Two Cities, presented by WLU’s Faculty of Music last Friday and Saturday night. Based on the work of the same name by Charles Dickens, the opera skilfully condenses the action and drama of the novel into six intense scenes,’ contrasting the bloodthirsty tension of the French revolution with quieter, lyrical intervals in the Manette household. The piece opens with the revelation of the injustices

The arrogant Marquis and his family become the focus of the people’s hatred, a hatred which later culminates in the trial and condemnation of his guiltless son, Charles Darnay. Opposed to the inflamed passion of the Revolutionary plot is the tender-love story of Charles Darnay and Lucie Manette, balanced by the dramatic Sidney Carton, and admirer of Lucie.

by Rhonda Riche The Calling are a Hamiltonbased quartet who seem destined for bigger and better things than their show at Fed Hall last Thursday showed. The band consists of brothers Colin and Curt Cripps on guitar and bass respectively, vocalist Neil McGrory, and Don MacDonald on drums. Right now their shows are a mix of .originals and covers, but considering that they did three sets, they have a great deal of original material. Together for one-and-a-half years, the band has not been idle, as Colin Cripps informed us: “We put together a cassette that’s been sent around to university and college radio stations, and we’ve

opened up for The Icicle Works at Western as well as doing a mostly original show at Call The Office in London.” Certainly their accomplishments sound impressive, but do they make it live? The Calling had people on their feet from the first song. The Calling’s danceable sound is in the vein of ’60s jangly guitar and Bono vocals. Some of their original songs sounded like something U2 might have done, but, strangely eneough, when they did a U2 cover it sounded like an original. Though they are still a cover band, their identity is beginning to show through especially good was their psychedelic rendition of Simple Minds’ The American.

bi Pa&l Evans Crass humor and violent lyrics thrashed Fed Hall last Friday night in the hype of Forgotten Rebels’ latest Waterloo gig. Anyone who has had the misfortune of passing a weekend in Burlington ‘can hopefully see where the band’s frustrated energy stems from . Micky DeSade, Rebel lead singer looking more like a demented Rod Stewart than the archetype behind the band’s hardcore image, had no lack of vigour or stage presence as he churned out songs from Surfin’ on Heroin to a Led Zepplin cover. The crowd’s response, though generally positive, was equally varied from pas, sive trances to modest slamdancing. The Forgotten Rebels, long time favourites of Toronto’s

El Mocombo and Larry’s Hideaway, know all about showing a club a good time. Micky did his usual stand up comic bit, telling the odd joke in between songs. One could not help getting the feeling, however, that on Friday we were-hearing more a cover of the Rebels than the band live. Fed Hall is a bit bigger and cleaner than the more familiar TO clubs, though. There has also been a drastic turn around in the band as three members recently up and left. Despite the rather serious conflict with Tean Idle’s show the same night, the Rebels packed the hall and everyone Italked to had a good time. All in *all, the Math Society offered a great alternative to a conventional night in town.

Fairbanks by Greg Hobson Imprint staff Last Thursday the International Film Series at the Humanities Theatre presented Douglas Fairbanks in the 1926 swashbuckler, The Black Pirate, directed by Aibert S. Parker. The middlingsized but appreciative audience was treated to a 1948 news clip before the movie. Once the film began we were treated to an actionpacked, wonderfully iudicrous show. This was Fairbanks at his best, playing a Spanish Duke who infiltrates the pirates to avenge his father’s death at their hands. He finds an ally in the crusty one-armed Scotsman MacTavish, played by Billie Dove, who must be saved from the clutches of the evil pirates. I won’t tell you who won, but -if you send in the correct answer you may win an all expenses paid round trip for three to the Brubacher House, located on our scenii: north campus.

Chopinesque dirge as well as a large variety of themes and moods to create a weii-integrated piece. I don’t think it would stand as well on its own, but this was not its purpose. The film was great, and keep an eye out for the next one if you are an old film fan (or a young fan of old films).

The Drinking Gasoline E.P. showed some promise with its heavy breath disections of funk but The Covenant is one giant step sideways into the mainstream. There is a hint of development in their use of a human drummer (Mark Tattersal) on W&p Blow and Hell’s Home. Ironically, Hell’s Home (with its hollow melody) ‘sounds more like Depeche Mode than anything else they’ve done. Put very simply, they have lost their uniqueness. One doesn’t have to listen very closely to note similarities to New Order (The Web) and The Art of Noise (The Arm of the Lord). ’ Ipstead of using the situation of other’ group’s stealing their musical ideas as an impetus for change and progression, Cabaret Voltaire have lazily slunked down into a heap of po-faced acquiessence, letting their sounds become cliche before their verb eyes. Your money would be better spent on the I Want You E.P. The three songs it contains are far more creative and exciting than anything you’ll come across on The Covenant, and yes, the mixes are more diffuse as well.

With Bill Lasweil producing, Album is PiL’s most accessible collecfion of songs to date. The guitar playing (especially the soloing) is bombastic, at times, but the tunefulness of songs like Rise, Fishing and Ease are clear evidence that, on this record, the pluses outweish the minuses. Despite the spore conventional song structures on Album than on past PIL work, the

bitter and cynical attitude of John Lydon’s early days with the band can still be keenly felt. On Home, an attack’against British politics, Lydon wails “Better days will never be”, recalling The Flower of Romance’s Go Back. On Fishing, he bitterly spits “Talking to you is a waste of time... crawl back into your own dustbin.” Album is quite a compelling and powerful recdrd, despite its smarmy generic title, which Joan Jett and the Blackhearts used for one of their discs a couple of years ago.

Carue My Name Into the Arches, opens with a simple guitar and vocal line and builds to a solid climax with an arpeggioed piano solo, performed by Hillar Pritts. At this point, though, the music meanders and\ is not brought back into focus until the final fade, which is a repetition of. the song’s title. The lyrics are symbolic of graduating into the real world, and strike a sentimental chord for those leaving UW. The second track, New Wave in an Old Ocean, is a stylistic contrast to the first. Here, heavier electric sounds are employed to em-

phasize its funky rhythm. A catchy riff, hinting of jazz/rock fusion, is maintained throughout and gives the song its necessary heartbeat. A frenetic guitar solo captures Gresham’s performing talents, but could have been longer to develop a more intense climax. A bagpipe is, used in spots for harmony, but its nasal timbre does not blend well with the electronic sound. No attempt is made to modulate the instrument which may have improved its impact. Both cuts rely heavily on the strong, unwavering vocals of Janice Gladstone. She works her way nimbly through several complicated pieces without losing the excellent control and tone of her voice. Unfortunately, Gladstone was the only singer with enough experience to cope with the little studio and limited rehearsal time available to the group.. Thus, the background vocals are reduced to ’ an almost imperceptible level. All instruments are played with enough skill and confidence to satisfy most listener’s tastes, and the overall musical quality is sufficient to make it a worthwhile purchase. As an added incentive, all tioney earned through the sale of the record will be donated toward acquiring better facilities for UW’s disabled. 1

contrived than The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink is stylish, witty, and relatively intelligent. It also shows us Molly Ringwald at her best thus far, which is quite good. of course, some may be scowling and cursing about how Hughes ripped off Valley Girl (an underrated effort), but consider his track record: the guy loves perfect endings and has a thing for love interests between teens of different social strata. Both themes have been common to all his teen movies, but Pretty in pink expresses them best. Molly Ringwald plays Andie, a bright girl from the poor side of the tracks (literally) who somehow manages

a reasonably uppercrust school. There, the student body is divided in two, the haves and have-nots, and there’s an on-going antagonism beween them. So when a moneyed pretty boy named Blane (Andrew McCarthy) asks Andie out, both are made quite uncomfortable by their own friends, and each other’s. Andie especially feels bad about breaking the fragile heart of Duckie (Jon Cryer), an eccentric loon who’s been carrying a torch for, well, a matter of years. Special mention should be made of Cryer’s performance: he has an impressive sense of comic timing and an exuberant style. He all but steals the

show.

There’s this problem with the ending, though. The movie would be spoiled if you read about the ending here, but suffice it to say that its the stuff dreams are made of, so some might find it pretty hard . to buy. One wonders if such an ending would have been wise after a picture which is quite true to life. The act is, though, that the ending doesn’t detract from the movie at all. Because, you see Pretty in Pink has the rare effect of allaying our cynicism about the crudiness of being a teen. Thus, when the end rolls up, its more satisfying than syww.

21 Imprint,

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff Rather than importing the usual exotic literary Luminaries for their Wednesday afternoon readings, The English Society turned to the talent that is literally in our own backyard for the Faculty Reading held in HH 373 last University-associated writers Wednesday. Linda Kenyon, Judith Miller, and Virgil Burnett (Rienzi Crusz was also supposed to take part, but could not, due to illness) brought their poetic and story-telling charms to the captivated audience. Linda Kenyon, an editor of The New Quarterly who has had several short stories published, read from a yet-to-be published collection of short stories, all involving a character named Maggie. The story revolves around the complications which arise. when Maggie’s sister Ann takes off from her husband who seems to believe he’s the star of Apocalypse Now and promptly embarks on an affair with Maggie’s husband, Gord.

Sean Virgo

Appropriately, Sean Virgo, UW’s writer-inresidence for this year and next is a widely published and highly praised, not to mention extremely-versatile writer. In addition to his three books of poetry, d’song-verse cycle which is available in both cassette and book form, and short story collections, including White Lies and Other Fictions and the recent Through the Eyes of a Cat, he has also dabbled extensively in theatre and multimedia projects. At present he is working on two screenplays and plans to have a novel, Selakhi, published this fall. He describes the novel as being part adventure, part occult, and partly about the effect of tribal primitive.. culture and an “energy-sapping tropical climate upon someone from our culture.” Having lived on The Queen Charlotte Islands, he is very interested and concerned with the life of the West Coast Indians and this is a common theme in his work. Virgo , whose honours include the National Magazine Award for Poetry, says he is an addictive reader who will even read labels if there is nothing else. He cites Faulkner, Joyce Cary, Paul Bowles, and J.L. Barges as writers who’have been important to him.

Linda Kenyon, a fiction editor for The New Quarterly, (the literary quarterly produced on campus), is a production coordinator at a Waterloo graphics firm. Her specialty is “magic realism”, a genre which she sees as distinctly Canadian. She has had three short stories, all in the . magic realism vein, published in last summer’s issue of Quarry Magazine. Magic realism stories proceed as do other stories, , until ,a fantastic event or image jars readers into realizing there is more than one dimension to the story. Coordinating the magic realism issue that was produced for the May conference, says Kenyon, “was the favourite project of my life to date.” She is preparing a collection of stories for the Quarry press, that will be available soon.

excuses the guilty contrive and the mind games people play, it ends uneasily with Maggie and Gord seeming to attempt reconciliation after a tornado. There is an uncomfortable, yet sort of bemused feel to the story that fits the theme well. With Judith Miller we move from sexual and emotional guilt to the carefree world of innocence. The published poet, who teaches English at Renison College, read her poetry without breaks, but her simple, youthful narratives flowed with an exuberant delight with the natural world. Her poems have a feeling of magical, wide-eyed naivete, celebrating a closeness between human spirituality and nature. In her whimsically vibrant look at a moustache and in her story of a girl who wishes she were a hawthorne, the after-image one gets is of a wonderful and fascinating childlike sensuality. Not even something like a hawthorne is seen as a threat - all is benevolet and beautiful in nature through young eyes. However, it was Virgil Burnett’s short story, Trauelling To Forget, the saga of a man

Burnett

Virgil Burnett of UW’s Fine Arts Department started out as an artist-illustrator, but since he first published his writing in his 4Os, he has become an internationally acclaimed writer. As well as having short stories published in magazines ranging from Chicago Review to Penthouse. He has written the self-illustrated books, Skiamachia, Towers at the Edge of a World, and A Comedy of Eros. He is currently finishing a book of short stories, one of which is a ghost story which has already been published in Descant 50, a’ Toronto magazine. The common thread running through the stories is that they deal with North Americans living in Europe: He says his yearly stays in France are an important source in his writing so that the stories aren’t so much about travelling as about people simply being away from home. In keeping with the short form, the authors he most admires are the great tellers of fantastical stories such as the Cuban writer Carpenter, J.L. Borges, Denisen, and E.T.A. Hoffman.

UW English professor Ken Ledbetter is recognized as a significant new talent in Canadian literature.- He has published short stories in a number of periodicals including University of Windsor Review and Canadian Fiction, and received a good deal of attention for his first novel, Too Many Blackbirds, which garnered glowing reviews in publications like MacLean’s and The Globe and Mail. He expects his second novel, Not Enough Women, which he describes as being about sex and sex education, to be released this 3p1 II ‘3. His favourite writers are Wallace Stevens and William Falkner (and he considers Moby Dick the best novel ever written), but he says the structure, style and plot of a story is out of the control of him or any sort of influence. *The charcters come alive and completely take control of every aspect of his fiction.

Rev. Dr. Thomas

York

The Rev. Dr. Thomas York is the United Church Chaplain at St. Paul’s College. On top of his ministerial duties he also teaches. He has four published novels to his credit: We, The Wilderness, (1977), Snowman ( 1976), The Musk Ox Passion (1978) winner of the Mark Twain Comic Novel of the Year award - and Trapper (1981) - a culmination of his previous work and also his most commercially successful. He has also published an autobiography, And Sleep in the Woods. Coming out soon is a new book, set in New Orlezns, called Desireless: A Novel of New Orleans. Rev. York’s books come out of what he terms “radical disturbances” in his life which he transforms into fiction, and he does not consciously write for a target audience. He has, nonetheless, had great critical acclaim., His most prominent influence is obviously, Faulkner, and York claims he came to Canada to avoid the draft and to transfer a ‘fneo-Faulknerian vision” onto the Artic. Nonetheless, York is an accomplished writer in his own right.

Crusz

Rienzi Crusz is the Senior Reference and Collection Development Librarian and a prolific and visible poet. Originally from Sri Lanka, he became a Canadian citizen in 1965, His work has been widely published in literary magazines and anthologies, and he has appreared at several area readings. His books of poetry include Flesh and Thorn, Elephant and Ice, Singing Against the Wind and Time for Loving. “If you write a poem, you will write using the tools of your own environment. My images are from Sri Lanka. I’m synthesizing the two cultures< Canadian and Sri Lankan,” he says. He is working on the manuscript for his next book of poems, Learning About Language, which he hopes will be released next year. This book is “an extension of the migrant theme,” says Crusz. It brings out aspects of survival in different cultures. It questions “how do you master the techniques of survival. Every day you learn something; you. acquire more sophisticated techniques to survive”.

completely shattered by a breakup, which left the most impact. Burnett’s portrayal of a pained, self-pitying, obsessive state of mind is told with both intensity and humour, but, most importantly, it is made vividly tangible. The story reads like a travelogue with quick shifts in scenarios, but the quirkiness of his style lends itself to a surprising cohesiveness that makes it all the more riveting. He tries to “immerse his ‘consciousness in the exotic menagerie of Paris, goes to an art gallery and looks at an exhaustive list of paintings of women, but he remains so haunted by the presence of his ex-lover that he thinks he can smell her. At the end of each vignette, a friend suggests a change of scenery for him, but every change only gets worse to the point where he even contemplates eating a yew tree down to the ground to finally rid himself of her. Overall, the Faculty Reading provided an opportunity to experience some of the genuine and unique talent we have on this campus that too many of us are unaware of.

Her most recent, and one of her most successful, is her fantasy book, Apple, Staff and Silver Crown, which was published last fall in a limited run by Porcupine Press. “It’s been accused of having a feminist slant,” she says. it’s about “a girl who thinks she is a scrubmaid, and a boy who thinks he is a prince - and they both are wrong. She is looking for herself, while he is looking for her.” The writing of the story took three months, while the accompanying illustrations ,took four years. “Very recently, I returned to creative writ- ’ ing, and I probably will continue.” But, she asserts, “My scholarly work is as much a part of me as my artistic works.”

Stuart Mackinnon coordinates Collection Management at the Dana Porter Arts Library. He has five books of poetry published: The Intervals (1974), The Lost Surveyor (1976), Mazinaw (1980), Skydeck (1971) and The Welder’s Arc (1969). As well, in collaboration with Virgil Burnett and W.K. , Thomas, he has edited a publication of verse entitled Four Square Garden (1981). Coming up is a book of poems dealing with Cana-. dian war zexperience, which he is still working on. Mr. Mackinnon says he hopes for an aesthetic response to his poetry that includes a social and politi,cal sense: something that rises , above a narrow “arty” context. It is not so much a call to action as a raising of’awareness, Mr. Mackinnon describes it as a resonance of a historical, political and social ’ quality to the poetry. Asked to state other writers who have been influential to him, he _ mentioned Brecht, Valery, and Archibald Lampman.

V-ballers are Onta.rio champs!. I by Ian Gowans While many students are dreaming about going south for a break, the men’s volleyball team have been dreaming about travelling east. More specifically, the team has had the strong desire to travel to Moncton, the home of the CIAU Championship this year. This past Saturday the dream was realized as the team won the Ontario Championship against York in the PAC and thus qualified for the Nationals. The York team came out flying in the first game and proceeded to completely shut down the Warrior offense. York’s own offense was simply perfect in all respects. The strongly vocal Waterloo supporters grew quieter by the minute. Losing the first game 15-7, the Waterloo team tried to regroup. But the turnaround did not begin until the team was down $0 in the second game. With the Warrior’s serving, Tom Oxland came up with three consecutive stuff blocks that put the spark back into the Warrior team. Waterloo hits that were being consistently blocked minutes before began to fall to the floor on York’s side. The Waterloo team began to shut down the York offense. Scott Murphy came off the bench to put in a stellar performance and to help the team to a come from behind 15-l 1 win. Heading into the third game the feeling of the Warriors was no longer one of being shellshocked but one of renewed confidence. Serves that were somewhat weak in the early stages of the match became harder to control and, as a consequence, the York passing began to break down.

UW overcomes slow start The team proceeded through game three and four with a strong offense and much improved blocking. In game three a first in volleyball history at Waterloo was made. Jim Cooke, coming on a play form the weak side, hit a ball off the head of a York defender. This in itself was not

noteworthy. The breakthrough in history was the fact that the ball proceeded to go straight up and hit the PAC roof. With Cooke leading the r way other players caught fire. Ambrose, who had been consistently stopped for the first game and a half, regained his composure and began scoring points from both the front and back courts. Scott Shantz, Tom Oxland and Wally Hayes all put in contributions to both the offensive and defensive turn around of the team. Winning game three 15-10, UW headed into game four smelling victory. Except for a brief surge by the York team near the end of the game, Waterloo seemed to be in control of the match. The final game ended 15- 11 for U W.

National Tourney next! The win characterized the transition the team has made in the last few years. Previously, Waterloo has had the habit of breaking down when things were not going as planned. Saturday’s match proved that the Warrior team now has the capability of not panicking when they are not ’ playing up to par. Owen Jones, setter for the Warriors, remained calm despite the fact that his normal offensive outlets were being stopped. He proceeded to run the offense looking for someone to take up the slack, and that player was Jim Cooke. Cooke turned in an unbelievable match and has been rewarded by being chosen Athlete of the Week. Going into the CIAU Championships next Wednesday the team faces an uphill battle to bring home a medal. The Warriors will enter the tournament ranked fifth and will meet either Winnipeg or Manitoba in’ their first match. A win will qualify Waterloo for the medal round. A loss will mean that only a fifth place finish at best would be possible. Coach Rob Atkinson feels that the team has the ability to pull off some upsets at the tournament. Regardless of how well the team does at Moncton, they have put in a fine season.

Basketball team wins OUAA title

by Steve Hayman Imprint staff

In their biggest and best week of basketball to date, Waterloo’s Warriors captured both the OUAA West Division and overall titles with solid wins over McMaster, Western and York. Waterloo now prepares for the Mideast Regional Tournament, to be held this weekend at the PAC; the winner travels to the Final Four in Halifax.

74, York

In an intense game Monday at York, attended by at least 400 UW fans, including a healthy dose of Fan Alumni, Waterloo captured the undisputed heavyweight basketball championship of Ontario by beating a solid Yeoman team with a strong defensive effort. Center Randy Norris indicated that

he’s back for good, from recent knee problems, by dominating his way to the game’s MVP award. For their efforts, the Warriors were presented with, -of all things, a banner reading “OUAA CHAMPIONS - CURLING - 1985-86.” The team is expected to make a strong showing in the Brier as a wildcard entry. The size of the win surprised many observers, since the Yeomen were ranked only one position behind Waterloo. The loss was apparently York’s first at home since, get this, 1978. York coach Bob Bain commented that “the result tells us that Waterloo is one of the best, if not the best, teams in the country. It showed us some of our holes.” “They won the warmup; we won the game,” analyzed UW’s Jerry “Spud” Nolfi after an irni pressive York dunk show in the pre-game went for nought. Although many UW fans questioned the absence of the Warrior Band, they more than compensated by once again outcheering the opposition. For the first time in memory, Waterloo managed to score at the buzzer in each half. One other milestone was Norris’s first post-surgery dunk at 2:52 of the. first half, which ended with Waterloo up 37-28. The

Warriors were never really challenged in the second frame, as Waterloo’s continually-improving defense kept the Yeomen outside and once again held a powerful opponent to under 60 points. All in all, a great performance against a team with Ontario’s worst haircuts, and a tremendous effort by U W supporters, the politest rude fans anywhere. “I’d love to see crowds like this all the time. We’d like some sort of crossover arrangement so we can play the West teams more often,” Bain remarked after once again the Yeomen coasted to a 14-O East division championship without facing any real challenges. With this championship and last week’s volleyball victory, Waterloo has established itself as Ontario’s king of sports where the balls bounce properly. Waterloo’s pre-game ranking of #3 surprised a few people, but was justified by ranking committee member Pete Barnsley who said “Everybody else lost,” and then after the game with “It was foresight.” The Division Subcrown - Waterloo 71, Western 66 Western hosted the fourteam divisional tournament last weekend by virtue of a firstplace finish, and met the War-

Warrior’s captain Mike Costigan had an excellent win over Westpoint’s # 1 player in a hardfought four-game match. Freshman and Warrior’s #3 player Ed Crymble had two fine wins over Rochester and Cornell players. Rob Dyer, sitting in the #6 position, had two wins before losing to the eventual

riors in the final after a victory over WLU. Waterloo beat McMaster 77-55 in the other semi-final, in a game marred by the cheap play of Mat’s Perry Bruzese, and Norris’s first postop basket and goaltending call. Undoubtedly the most interesting sight of the game was that of the entire team lying on the floor at 13:22 of the second half, looking for one of forward Paul Boyce’s contact lenses. Waterloo had a tougher time against Western in the final but still prevailed by five, and once again a strong showing by Warrior fans (this time with the band) put the locals to shame. The Warriors completely shut down Western in the last five minutes, outscoring the Mustangs 12-2 in a come-from-behind win. Rob Froese led with 18 points. Froese and Paul Boyce were named to the tournament all-star team with Peter Savich picking up the MVP. “We played really well, I’ve got no disappointments,‘* Western coach Doug Hayes said. “But every time Norris goes out, he’s going to get better.*’ McCrae observed that, “Western had us read very well; they put Randy on the free throw line at critical times but he produced.” The one-word analysis goes to Boyce: “Sweetness!”

Inmain proves a tough bird . I

After this weekend’s indoor track and field action at the OUAAOWIAA championships held at York University, any serious track fan will realize that Warrior Mark lnman is a “tough old bird.” In his warm-up preparation for the popular 1500 metre event, lnman sported a t-shirt that had this message boldy printed across the front. The “tough old bird,” who is in his last year of competition for the Warriors, forced the pace from the gun as he stormed through the half mile in a brisk two minutes flat. In a sensational sprint finish with rival Dave Mather from Queen’s, lnman lost out by a scant .Ol of a second, and for the fourth time in his illustrious varsity career he was denied the gold medal in this event. His string of silver medal performances was extended even further on the previous evening, when the 4x800 metre distance relay foursome of Chris Lane, Tony Degazon, lnman and Harvey Mitro ran a spirited race to the chants of (W-A-R-R-l-O-R). They smashed the CIAU qualifying standard (7:46) and school record (7:42.7) by posting a 7:40.2 finish for the runner-up position. The highly-touted teams from U of T and Windsor had discounted the Warriors as any sort of threat, but after Lane and Degazon managed to keep the men in contact for the first two legs, and with speed men lnman and Mitro anchoring the team, an upset seemed possible. U of T was forced to the brink of breaking a national record to seal the victory.

Mitro led the entire 1,000 metre distance except for the final straight, when he was overtaken by two pursuers who had positioned themselves off of his shoulder for the duration of the race. Still, his bronze medal showing (2:26.3), along with Degazon’s personal best (2:30.2) for seventh and Steve Scott’s solid 2:36 effort leaves a bright future for the men at this distance. The Warrior’s two other medals were in the 5000 metre, in which the pursuit trio of Andrew Krucker ( 1st in 14:47.8), Rob Hardy (3rd in 14:54.3) and Tim Rose (5th in !5:03.3) doggedly foliowedthe. early pacesetters and then broke away in the final 2 km to solidify Waterloo’s dominance over the middle distance events. This season marked the first time that Waterloo was a serious force in the sprint lanes. In the 60 metre dash final, John Clayton clocked 7.3 1 seconds to grab 7th position, and Ron Hanic sped to a 7.40 showing, while Bram Wittenberg was eliminated in the qualify-

ing heats with is 3rd place 7.41 second finish. These three men, along with Andy Garrison, then streaked to a seasonal best of 1:34.9 to finish fourth, just ahead of cross-town rivals WLU, in the 4x200

Athenas bring back one medal metre sprint relay. Over in the long jump pit, Garrison and highly-rated Ken Berry, who was again bothered by hamstring difficulties, could not get that extra distance into the pit in order to qualify for the final rounds of competition, but rookie Eric Kuschnik exploded from the board to record a personal best of 6.56 metres, a 17 cm. improvement. In the finaL rounds, Kuschnik could only manage a leap of 6.14 metres and wound up 8th. Although the Athenas only brought back one medal, the youth and talent on the team puts them in good sted for years to come. Leading the way in her specialty, the high jump, Elaine Veenstra scaled 1.70 metres for the win and will now set her sights on ClAU gold. The strength of the Athena program rests in the middle distance events. However, with injuries and sickness plaguing the women all season, peak performances were not the order of the day. Kelly Boulding and Ulrike Zugelder placed 5th and 8th respectively in the 1500 metres with times of 4:39.6 and 4:49.3, while Kelly Galbraith finished 9th in the 3000 metre with a time of 10:53.7 The evening before they combined their talents with Janice Patterson to place just out of the medals in the 4x800 metre distance relay with a time of 9:47.5. In the Friday night session, Kilmeny Biemler started action for the Athenas with a 3: 15.7 finish in the one kilometre event. Two bookie Athenas ran strongly in the long sprints. Julie Madden placed third in her section of the 300 metres with a 43.7 second finish, and a short time earlier on Friday evening she won her section of the 600 metres with a time of 1:40.6. Lee Ann Uniac had an identical time in her section win over 600 metres. She also sped to a 43.9 second showing in the 300 metres to take 2nd place in her section. Completing U W’s entries over 600 metres was Cathy Somers, who finished up with a 1:49.9 effort. At the shortest sprint hurdle distance, the 60 metres, Karen Little placed 2nd in her heat, and then ran 10 seconds flat for 7th place‘in the final. Joining Veenstra westward at the CIAU, championships to be held in Edmonton on March 14-15 are the Warrior medal winners. The rest of the team now prepares for next fall in hope of improving upon this year’s success, in which the Warriors and Athenas placed 3rd and 5th respectively at the conference meet. Moreover, the Warriors 9th place national ranking is significant, considering that ’ they spend as many as three nights a week away from home trying to find adequate training facilities.

Athenas ‘pl.ace 3rd in indoor hockey The Athena’s indoor hockey team placed third last weekend at the OWIAA championships. The game, a cross of basketball, ice hockey and field hockey, is essentially a game for field hockey players to play during the winter months. The bronze medal game against McGill saw the Athenas losing l-3 at halftime. “We had a much stronger bench than McGill and 1 was sure if we hustled the second half was

ours,” said coach Judy McCrac. Waterloo stormed back in the second half of play due to the efforts of Kathy Goetz and Debbie Murray. “When you consider that our fall season saw us narrowly miss the playoffs, this third place finish was exceptional. We deserved to be third,” McCrae noted. This year marked the first OWIAA Championship for indoor hockey with eleven universities participating.

by Pam Bondelt The Campus R.ec Squash tournament lasted all weekend with much excitement and excellent play. Of the 54 competitors, 42 were men and 12 were women. ’ In the men’s A division, 1 would like to commend those individuals who made it out early and played their games. The A division final was between Peter Mayer and Ed Fowler. The game was well played by both players with Mayer taking the championship in three games. In B division, Todd McClelland defeated Larry Madge. In the C division Don Brown and Jim Morrison fought it out to the bitter end with Don Brown emerging as the victor. In the women’s league A division, Rosie Chong defeated Cindy Wiersma. The finals of the women’s B division were exciting, with Anne lngraham defeating Shirley Heinen. A special thanks extended to Gerry Hilhorst for his coaching and special tips to players and his ‘refereeing in the men’s A division. Finally, thanks to all the participants and the tote room staff for allowing me the use of their phone.

Mel’s Right I by Jonathan Sadleir Sports Editor If one turns to the Feb. 6/86 sports section of the York newspaper Excalibur, one is faced with a gleaming bearded face triumphantly superimposed over the name Mel Broitman. Mel is a columnist. Mel is opinionated. Mel gives new meaning to the word obnoxious. Why the hostility? Well, the following quotes are excerpt from his article. You be the judge. They are particularly relevant in lieu of Monday night’s basketball game at York in which the Warriors downed the Yeoman 74-58. “The Yeoman may sit eternally upon their throne.” The throne you say. I can only agree. The throne seems an appropriate place. Just be sure to lock the door and flush when you’re through. “Maybe we should forget the OUAA. For basketball connoisseurs, Bob Bain (York’s coach) can always sell tickets to his practices.” Those of you who have read Steve Hayman’s article this week will remember some of his observations - and I quote “ ‘They won the warmup; we won the game,’ analyzed UW’s Jerry “Spud” Nolfi after an impressive York dunk show in the pregame went for naught.” There-is little doubt that York’s pre-game dunk-fest is impressive. However, as one Imprint staff member quipped, “They may as well be dunking doughnuts.” As far as considering Mel’s opinions as those of a connoisseur one may as well ask Ronald McDonald if he has any suggestions for a good place to dine while one is in Paris. “York doesn’t lose home games.” Well Mel, I can only hope that you and Coach Bain are successful in your bid to sell tickets for practices, because, Mel, you’re right. You should forget about the OUAAs! Don’t forget to come out this weekend and enjoy the CIAU Regional Championships.

by Donald Duench Imprint staff This week’s look at CIAU basketball reviews the six regional tournaments, and sets the stage for the four regionals being held this weekend.

Athletic programmes get, short end of stick0 y

by Jonathan Sadleir The Athletic Banquet is drawing near. Several individual and team efforts will be both acknowledged and rewarded. Not the least of these honours is the Coach of the Year award. This year we have seen some spectacular efforts from our teams. There is little doubt that many of these victories are due in part to the efforts of many talented individuals, but what of the coach’s role?

Most players are acutely aware of the time a coach spends on the sidelines and in the gym. But, we must also remember the time spent fighting for funding, creating strategy and agonizing over the outcome of. the next game and the season in general. Every level of play provides itsown set of demands. The univer_ sity coach is of a special breed. Often faced with a great deal of new and diverse talent, the coach must integrate these individual skills into a team environment attempting, ultimately, to arrive at the game-winning combination. This blend may prove obvious on a

mechanical motor-skill level, but on an emotional can sometimes prove insurmountable.

scale this task

A university such as Waterloo places many demands upon its varsity athletes and, consequently, the coaches are faced with an extra pressure. Most of the players come here first to gain an education and secondly to pursue a sideline such as varsity athletics. There is little or no doubt that education is the prime responsibility but it seems apparent that in Canada and, more specifically, at Waterloo, there is little or no atte,mpt to reduce the stress the combination of a tough academic program and varsity athletics can pose. Both academics and varsity athletics have their place and both contribute greatly to an individual’s growth and, on a larger scale, the growth of the university. This equilibrium has, however, not been achieved - varsity athletics tend to get the short end of the stick. This is a situation that more often than not can prove frustrating to both coach and player. This attitude of non-support leads to an increased amount of

CHALLENGE

bending and scraping on the part of a coach in an effort to secure at least a modicum of administrative support. Too often in this university the coach is viewed as an interesting outsider who is providing students with an interesting pastime, rather than an integral part of many students’ lives, providing in many cases a sense of accomplishment and guidance so often needed in any large institution. For many, the university experience would not be nearly as noteworthy if it were not for the special attention he/she received while being a member of a varsity team. The Coaching Association of Canada describes the coach’s role as follows; “Being a good coach takes time, effort and training. It takes a special person to prepare athletes, young and old alike, to reach their full potential.” There are many analogies about coaching and many references to the silent figure on the cold and rainy sideline, but it all boils down to one central theme -- A good coach is there with a fresh approach and an optimistic attitude. He/ She may not always be elated about being there, but, nevertheless, they are there.

“No one came to ask me, and I’m the one who did the evaluation,” he said. Marie-Josee Lapointe, press secretary to Secretary of State Benoit Bouchard, said the decision to cut Katimavik’s $19 million annual funding was made independently of all the studies. “We’re not looking at whether it was or was not a good programme,” Lapointe said. “People need -iobs and this was not an employment programme.” Champagne told the House Bf Commons on Feb. 3 that youth ‘attending the five regional forums last year said they want jobs. “We are now collating and compiling the findings of that year’s consultations, and the new programmes that will be announced will respond directly to the needs and aspirations of our young people,” Champagne said.
