The Federation of Students argued in favour of the current age of majority, 19, at a public meeting of the Ontario Advisory Committee on Liquor Regulation. The committee is travelling to 18 municipal centres across the province during Sep tember and October. Although its recommendations to the government are still in sorne doubt, the chairman of the committee, Mississauga North M.P.P.

NEWS Siding with right-wing by Lisa Dillon Feminist groups trying to censor pornographic materials have hurt their own cause by ignoring the more pressing reasons for controls on such materials, says the feminist editor of an anti-censorship book. Varda Burstyn, editor of Women Against Censorship, said a strange alliance between some feminists and conservative groups has managed to set back the women’s movement. Much that was gained by the movement has been lost in dealing with the repressive right-wing fundamentalists. Burstyn, who is active in anti-censorship groups, made her com-

ments October 21 at a presentation organized by Uw’s Women’s Commission. On the topic of pornography, the words feminist and censorship are perceived as going hand in hand, since pornography is said to violate the rights of women, yet this need not be so, said Burstyn. Traditionally, there have been two groups in our culture which have worked against each other: the feminists, and the conservative right. Until the pornography debate, these two groups have been antagonists. Regarding pornography, however, these two groups appeared to converge in calling on the government to

take censorship action. However, this convergence was an illusion - the feminist and the conservative right movements are like tangents moving in opposite directions, with parnography being their meeting point, she said. Feminist and conservative right groups have targeted pornography for different reasons. Feminists maintain pornography degrades women, and perpetuates the myth that they enjoy rape. They say it reflects the subordination of women and thus should be censored, said Burstyn. On the other hand, conservative groups object to pornography because it takes sex out of marriage, suggests that sex is not for procreation, and pushes at the moral boundaries which conservative groups are supposed to maintain. An inspection of the government’s agenda, said Burstyn, reveals that, because the government does not share feminist reasons for censorship of pornography, they repress feminist interests. For example, feminist and homosexual bookstores have come close to bankruptcy due to the censorship of their literature. In the fall of 1985, the Supreme Court decided to ban genital-shaped sex toys. Since these items were not included in censorship legislation at the time, the Supreme Court decided to call them “publications” in order to ban them. This means that from now on the Supreme Court can ban Anything by calling it a publication. Feminists feel this was a repressive decision. Another repressive action on the part of the government was the passing of Bill C49. The Fraser Committee had been set up to deal with pornography and prostitution. This committee decided to decriminalize

prostitution, and broke this action down into steps. In December, the government decided to implement only the repressive elements of the Fraser Committee’s proposal. Thus, the government has ignored the feminist agenda by using selective repression, she said. Feminists want sex to be visible in ways different from pornography.

More than 114,000 students received assistance through OSAP for the 1984-85 school year states a recent press release from the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities. The release states that $392.98 million in student assistance was provided by the ministry for 1984-85 of which $116.4 million was grants. Approximately 80 per cent of grants to dependent students were to students whose parents earned less than $20,000 per year. “The ministry realizes that there are certain groups of students that did not receive adequate assistance. Consequently, a review of the program is currently under way to address these inequities,” states the release.

The issues of birth control, bodily health, and sexual pleasure cannot be fulfilled through ignorance, said Burstyn. The government’s legislation has promoted this kind of ignorance. It has not eradicated violence against women; instead, it has distracted people from the conditions which have created pornography in the first place.

Gorbachev sincere in efforts to gain peace 2says ex-ambassador Pearson said Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev is very serious about his disarmament proposals. The arms race has diverted energy from th’e Russian domestic economy which has suffered as a result. “Gorbachev is a very different Russian leader” said Pearson. “He is very popular and concerned with talking to the Russian people.” Pearson was careful to emphasize that the history of Russia leaves them very suspicious about external threats. They are a people with a long history of being invaded, said Pearson, “They see enemies in China, Western Europe and the United States, and they do not count on Eastern Europeans who are hostile to them. They will not disband their armies.” . He went on to say that Reagan and Gorbachev surprised themselves in Iceland. “It was a break through of sorts” said Pearson, “They found that it was possible to conceive. of getting rid of ballistic missiles.” The problem with Reykjavik was that it was too hurried and unstructured. The two leaders were not really prepared for what happened, he said. Fergus was a rather low key place to hear comment, on the Iceland summit, but then Pearson is a rather low key person. Part of his mandate with CIPS is educational. He said a responsible public perception of the Soviets in the West is a necessary condition for responsible negotiations over the question of nuclear arms. To Pearson, nuclear arms are the central issue of today’s diplomacy. He said the Russians are not going to go away, but there are good reasons to have faith in their sincerity over certain issues and the nuclear question is one.

It is historical and contemporary; from Stalin to Gorbachev, from Reykjavik to Humberside Collegiate in Toronto Tuesday, to Meiiviile United Church in Fergus Wednesday, where Ge+fry Pearson gave his views on the subject. Geoffry, the son of form& Canadian prime minister Lestor B. Pearson, was present to address the Wellington County Ploughshares public education group. As the spokesman for the Canadian Institute for Peace and Security Research (CIPS), a non-governmental “crown corporation”, Pearson said he was finally free to talk, when as Canadian ambassador to the Soviet Union he was not.

Five-year plan will see co-op fees reach $400 a term by 1989 by Janice Nicholls Imprint Staff Students in UWs co-op program will pay more than $400 per term by 1989 under a five-year plan adopted by administration, reveals a recent study by the Federation of Students. The university began boosting coop fees in 1984 with the intent of increasing the percentage of program costs covered by student fees from 34 per cent to 80 per cent over a five year period, states the Fed’s co-op committee report. Projected fees per term are $265 for 1987/88; $325 for 1988/89; and more than $400 for 1989. Currently the fee covers approximately 50 per cent of the co-op cost and is $195 per term. Provincial funding does not in-, ciude the cost of running co-op, says

U W Womefis Centre seeking items needed in Nicaragua UWs Women’s Centre has joined with the Tools for Peace campaign in a special drive to collect items to improve the quality of life for women in Nicaragua. One of the main goals of the Nicaraguan revolution has been the integration of women into all sectors of society. Today, women head the teachers’ union, the health ministry, the police commission of Managua, and many other high-profile positions. Women play a major role in production and defense. The government has made daycare a priority, to allow women to participate as equal members in the workforce. Because of the civil war, American embargoes, and economic hardship, many items are in short supply. For women, the lack of sanitary nap kins is an added indignity. They are forced to use rags which must be washed and reused. Besides the discomfort and inconvenience, this also poses a potential health hazard. Women of this university are asked to bring boxes of adhesivebacked sanitary napkins (no tampons please) to the Women’s Centre, to_ be sent to Nicaragua with the Tools for Peace shipment this winter. Drop-offs can be made November 6 and 7, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in CC 215.

the report. While the federal govemment will provide grants to expand a co-op program, they will not provide on-going funding# for the program. The costs of administering co-op are based on a forhula similar to that used for a research project, states the report. For every dollar charged by the university foi direct cost such as supplies, heat and light, the university also charges another $1.50 for indirect costs. The report states that a 1 :l ratio is used for co-op. “For every dollar spent by the Cooperative Education Department another dollar of indirect costs is included when calculating the total costs of co-op,” states the report. “‘These indirect costs are supposed to offset costs incurred by the Regis-

trar’s Office and other taculty departments for administering co:op.” Additipnal cc&s such as heating, light, power, and data processing are also included in the cost of co-op, states the report. The total cost of the co-op program, states the report, is $2.7 miilion for direct casts, $2.7 million for indirect costs, and s.6 million for heat and light, power, data processing. Carol Gouiette, Federation vicepresident for operations atid finace, said the university will eventually have to justify to the Federation ail allowable fees under the new ancillary fee policy. lf the Federation does not agree with the fee, it goes to the government to be reconciled, said Goulette.

Feds ask for public input on fratlsorority issue by Arka Roy Imprint Staff Delta Omega Chi, UWs only fraternity, has been given a chance to prove itself. lf student council is impressed, the result may be a proiiferation of fraternities on campus. To investigate the possibility of recognition of fraternities on campus, the Feds are establishing a task force to gather information and gain insight into the concept of fraternities. A meeting was held October 23 for students interested in joining the task force. Only five people attended the meeting. The task force is to be chaired by Fed president Scott Forrest. Forrest told the gathering that, ideally, the task force should be small and include 5tudent.s of differing view points to prevent domination by any

one interest group. He said the two major interest groups are the Women’s Commission and the Delta Omega Chi fraternity itself. A representative from each of these groups was present at, the meeting. At the initial task force meetings, each member will be asked to present his/her opinions on the the subject so the group knows where each member stands. The task force will then accept submissions and/or presentations from the student pop uiation regarding their views. The hearings will provide the task force with an insight into student opinions of fraternities. The recommendations and findings of the task force will be presented to student council, which wilol make the final decision on the fraternity issue.

<Courage, like fear is infectious by Doug Thompson Imprint staff It’s a journalist’s nightmare . . . repeated every time something important hits the news: there is so much to cover, and so little space and time in which to cover it. This year’s Hagey Lecturer, Professor Joseph Weizenbaum from MIT, is an important man with an important message. Although delighted by the opportunity to report on the visit to UW of a man whose work I have admired and followed for years, I am appalled by the superficiality of the coverage I was able to give it. He spoke for several hours, the report on his visit can be read in several minutes. How do you reduce a man to a few paragraphs of print? In Dr. Weizenbaum’s own words, “we know more than we can say.” Having had another day to digest his presentations this week, a message not mentioned in my report (pp 12-l 3) emerges. “We must learn to believe the impossible is possible” he said. He spoke of pre-war Germany, a land famous for its poets and philosophers. It was thought to be impossible for that nation to sink into the depths of depraved Nazi tyranny. But the impossible happened. He spoke of America in the early 19th Century. It was

Rock W roll musi no more than banal, insipid trash by Charles Mak Imprint Staff Rock ‘n’ roll music and the incessant desire for it at places like Fed Hall represents an inherent backwardness and banality on the part of the proponents of this genre of insipid trash. All you rock ‘n’ rollers would be better off in the long run if you would all remove the superficial covers of warmth and security that manifests itself in the form of rock ‘n’ roll. The idea of this kind of music as representative of the so called good times and nostalgic euphoria inevitably perpetuates the notion that progressiveness is not the desired state of affairs. This is really stupid. Fed Hall aspires to represent this University at,its most progressive. Although some of the programming content suggests otherwise, it would be really offensive to the ideals of being adventurous to have

the establishment bow under the pressure of a particular clique and bring in rock ‘n’ roll nights, particularly on weekends, let alone weekdays. This type of music should remain in the Bombshelter. Progressive music represents a desire to explore new concepts and forms. This is what university life is all about. The immediacy’and impact of this music can be appreciated by those people who are willing to escape the everyday drudgeries. Rock ‘n’ roll perpetuates these commonalities it is a totally ans themic genre of music to those people who believe that progressive music is representative of humanity at its most exploratory.lt’s groups like Cabaret Voltaire, 400 Blo.ws, Ministry, Front 242 and DAF, that have the foresight to realize that stagn,ation is not the desired state of affairs. It is these groups and this type of music that should be the undeniable mainstay of campus wateringholes.

Effort to raise the drinking age is rooted in the real experience of real human tragedies To the editor, It greatly disturbs me to think that someone attending an institution of higher learning such as the University of Waterloo could be so closed-minded. The issue regarding the age limit for drinking is a complex one. To suggest that groups such as MADD and PRIDE are “repressive groups that would stifle the freedoms of all Ontarions” (Imprint, Oct. 24) demonstrates Steve Kannon’s short-sightedness. These organizations have been founded in response to the emotional stress of parents and friends of drunk driving victims. They express valid concerns of human beings that see the other

side of the drinking issue to the one that most university students see. If, as Mr. Kannon asserts, he is truly in favour of responsible drinking, then I assume he can empathize with the position that driving while intoxicated is a practice which we should attempt to end. But is it such a large leap in logic to recognize that this only one form of irresponsible drinking. A year ago, a fellow student at Wilfrid Laurier was pushed under a moving bus by a group of university students partaking on an orientation pub. Could Mr. Kannon explain for me the responsibility demonstrated in such an occurrence.

I am sorry to inform Mr. Kannon that organizations such as MADD and PRIDE and even SADD wish only to promote responsible drinking at all ages. And if raising the drinking age to 21 will lessen the need for MADD by giving just one human being a chance to ful-

We arrived about 9 p.m. and the bar was not yet full, nor was there a line-up. We proceeded to enter, having various pieces of identification examined until one friend was stopped. This fellow is 28 years old and had several pieces of identification with his birthdate, including his driver’s license. He is not a student, and has never needed or acquired an age of majority card. Thus he had none of the identification deemed “acceptable” and was not allowed in. When we protested, the manager was called over. Our friend was asked to sign his name and

To the editor, This letter is not written in order to disagree with John Zacariah’s review of the new Talking Heads LP, True Stories (Imprint, Oct. 24). I fully realize that one reviewer’s opinion will be different from another’s and that no reviewer will ever reflect the opinions of the entire public. I would like to take Mr. Zacariah to task concerning one comment made in the review. As he points out, the songs from True Stories were written by David Byrne not for the Talking Heads but for Byrne’s movie, True Stories. He gives the impression, although he does not explicitly state it, that he has not seen the film. I believe he has not. Why, then, does he make a critical comment about it, especially in a record review? He says, in reference to the film’s characters, “The question is: Is Byrne examining these people’s lives or is he poking fun at them? Chances are it’s the latter, considering the evidence. On Hey Now, Byrne sings ‘. . . take me to the shopping mall’; what better way for a family of rabid consumers to spend a Saturday afternoon?” Basing this contention (that Byrne is probably poking fun at his subjects) on a single line from a song is perfectly ridiculous. I have not seen the film, so I am not going to defend it; I am merely offended by Mr. Zacariah’s stupid argument about a point which is not really related to what he is reviewing. I might also add that his one premise is faulty - he may not be aware of it, but all through the history of English literature, from Chaucer and Shakespeare all the way through Steinbeck, many of the great

this was compared to the signature on his ID, which of course corresponded. He was still not allowed in. There seemed to be no question that our friend was over 19. He was only lacking photo identification. The law states that such licensed establishments are allowed to accept whatever identification they choose. A driver’s license is considered proof of age, albeit, the policy of the Bombshelter is to only accept photo ID. What is the Bombshelter trying to demonstrate with such strict regulations? I feel that such interrogation is not only ridiculous, it is also discriminatory. Would a senior citizen experience the same problem getting in? The policy of the Bombshelter seems to go beyond ensuring that

only persons 19 and older enter. Not only must we be of the age of majority, we must also carry pictures of ourselves. Perhaps a new policy will demand that all patrons wear dog tags. Then a computer could be installed and everyone would have to be searched on the system before being permitted entrance. The actions of the staff at the Bombshelter thoroughly convinced us that the power to enforce rules was a much more desired objective that the satisfaction of the their clientele. The Bombshelter is developing a reputation for being inflexible and having a generally hostile attitude. If this power-tripping is to continue, fewer and fewer people will feel welcome enough to bring their friends to a place with such a negative atmosphere. Susanna Reid

145 John beauties of the human race have been revealed through the examination of people’s faults and frail-ties. I have three pieces of advice for Mr. Zacariah. One is that he take PHIL145 in order to learn how to

argue properly. The second is that he see films before he reviews them. The last is that he try to keep his film reviews separate from his record reviews. Sean

Writer shouldn’t hide from the past by kndcking rbck To the editor, I must write this letter because I ‘can’t sit idly while the good name of rock ‘n’ roll is blackened by the likes of “trendy” Wendy Rinella (Imprint Oct. 24). She stated that universities symbolize progression and that our music (especial’ ly at Fed Hall) should reflect this. Although we may study progressive fields (like biochemistry) ‘we learn many things that were discovered over 100 years ago. Similarly, the music you listen to ‘at Fed Hall has its roots in the old rock ‘n’ roll. Who can deny the influence of such people as Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Neil Young, The Beatles, The Stones et. al. on today’s music? Wendy refers to herself as a “has-Manitoba-been” which conveys to me that the real reason she despises old music is that she is afraid of anything that reminds her of her dim east. This also explains her need for progression and the shiny, new escape of Fed Hall. Perhaps if she comes to grips

1Imprint

with her past and relaxes enough to be herself, she won’t have to dance alone. ’ Part of the reason I enjoy my old music is due to the good memories it conjures up. This does not stop me from enjoying new music too and creating more good memories for the future. Wendy also seems to be under the impression that people can only dance to disco and new “dance” music. This is ridiculous. My girlfriend and I had to battle for a spot on the dance floor at the Bombshelter on a rock ‘n’ roll night, so Jet’s not hear anything more about rock ‘n’ roll not being danceable. Finally, although I disagree with Shawn Allin’s dismissal of $11 new music as garbage, I feel he has made a good point in that Fed Hall could use a rock ‘n’ roll night and I think that you should attend, Wendy, because you can’t hide from the past forever.

by Jeff Kohl WPIRG volunteer It is easy for people to feel that nothing they can do will affect the world food situation. In response to this general feeling, WPIRG organized Food for Thought, a week of displays and guest lectures which presented alternatives to supporting multinationals by shopping at supermarkets. Booths and slide shows were set up from October 21-23 in the Campus Centre with a guest lecturer, Pat Mooney, Thursday night and a fundraising dinner on Friday night. The presentations were aimed at helping people consider the social and environmental implications of their consumer habits, and at presenting alternatives. Many of the displays incorporated “sustainable earth” ethics where the solution to our food problems lies in harmonious collaboration with nature and selective control based on geological understanding. Oak Manor Farms presented organic farming as an economically and ecologically viable alternative to fertilizer assisted food production. The point was made that on average organic farming produces as much per acre but that it may be more labour intensive. The Ebytown Food Co-op presented another way of executing more control over the origins and contents of the food you buy. In selecting foods to sell in their store political and social aspects are considered as well as nutritional factors. The Quest for Health Retreat Centre representatives talked about their approach to health care where scientific and holistic and natural approaches are used complementary to one another. The UW Vegetarian Club presented vegetarianism as another viable alternative. Information was provided on how to en-

To the editor, What is wrong with the ‘Oldies’, Wendy? Is it that they don’t carry any political or social message (who listens to today’s anyway)? Are they too cute or not deep enough? Well at least they’re fun to listen and dance to. If more music along the same lines were being produced today, your ‘Cultural Stalemate’ would not exist. When I go out dancing, I don’t want to be reminded of today’s problems. I get enough of that from the news. I want to have a good time, let loose and maybe make an idiot of myself (something taboo among your aggressively cool crowd). In my first and second year, I used to frequent the Bombshelter

The quality of the presentations and the level of participation at Food for Thought was high and the reaction people had to new ideas was very positive. I learned a lot and also discovered how much more there is to learn. The week was capped with an evening of ethnic food and music called “Food for Food” which was held on Friday night at Conrad Grebel. For further information on food issues visit the WPIRG Resource Centre in the General Services Complex.

Alternatives

by Kathy Marsman Some vegetarians may feel society has left them at a disadvantage, and to some extent, they are right. Fast food restaurants, and certainly even reputable dining spots, center their main dishes around meat. For those of you who are tired of just ordering salads and, when doing so, receiving strange looks upon requesting the bacon bits be left out, rest assured there are alternatives here in the K-W area. The on-campus crowds can find a large selection of vegetarian food at the Wild Duck Cafe, in the Campus Centre. Foods ranging from vegetarian burgers and falafels, to deluxe vegetarian pizza (also available at the Bombshelter) are served here. For off-campus dining, one place in particlular is called to mind. Cafe Aphorisms in Waterloo offers many vegetarian specialities in addition to its meat dishes. These dishes include vegetarian lasagna, falafels, salads, omlettes, and nightly vegetarian specials. From the outside, Aphorisms may be overlooked, as it is modestly sandwiched between shops. On the inside, the narrowness of the room is an asset, helping to create a friendly, quaint, almost cultural atmosphere.

You better learn this now: once you get out of college, it’s gonna be harder to meet women. Here are a few places to try. How about the Art Museum? Wait, who are you trying to kid? You don’t know anything about art. And once she found out, she’ll laugh in your face. The health club? Nah, all you know how to do is sweat. And once she sees you in gym clothes, she’ll laugh at the rest of you. There’s always the laundromat. But asking someone’s advice on bleach is hardly a relude to romance. You could try the old “get Pixed up with the daughter of a friend of your mother” routine. But, since your mother is going to get a full report of the evening, how much fun are you going to have? And worse yet, if you brought her to meet your mother, and your mother liked her.. . well, then, you’d really have problems. Little Caesars feels you shouldn’t have to settle these problems on an empty stomach. Here’s a great chance to try out a “How ‘bout sharing a pizza with me?” routine.

On Thursday night, Pat Mooney, a researcher at the Genetic Institute of Winnipeg, gave a talkon the politics of food. Mooney’s talk tied together the effects that modern agribusiness is having in both the third world and here in Canada. The major thrust of his talk was that the world’s pool of plant genes is being drastically reduced by the use of monoculture agriculture - planting lots of one crop all of the same genetic pool. He went on to explain how these seeds were a non-renewable resource and how if increasing amounts of genes are lost (eaten), the gene pool may lack the diversity to resist disease and to survive changing environmental conditions. This could lead to a complete collapse of the agricultural system. According to Mooney, there are several things we, the consumer, can do to affect change in the system. He suggested supporting organic farming and farmers markets as these bypass the multinationals, writing letters to the government and supporting development organizations like Oxfam and Inter Pares.

sure that daily nutritional needs are met with a meatless diet. Also considered were the political implications of eating or not eating meat.

Recipe books for vegetarians are abundant at the health food stores, and can often be found in book stores. Books such as Cook with Tofu by Christina Clarke, Meatless Main Dishes by Better Homes and Gardens, The Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie K&en, The Cookbook for People who Love Animals by People for Ethical Treatment of Animals, are but a few of the books available. We may not live to see the fast food chains accommodating vegetarians, but certainly we have enough resources to accommodate ourselves with a bit of effort, and a bit of imagination. Some Chinese restaurants will adjust their menu items by discluding meat upon request. These include Chung King, Shin Shin and Wah Ming Indian food can be found at Full Bite and at Vijay’s in Kitchener. Simply ask for no meat. For those wishing to try their hand at cooking their own vegetarian food, supermarkets carry most supplies you may need. There are also some health food stores in the area. Market Lane Pantry across from Market Square, and the Natural Food Market in the Towers Plaza on Weber St. offer a wide selection.

because they played the kind of music that you could get excited about. Stuff like New Wave (which was new), Reggae, Ska (loved that!) and Punk was the main attraction. We would work up quite a sweat jumping, and occasionally slamming, in our black suits, white shirts, skinny black ties and dark glasses. Group like the ViIIians,the Specials, the Beat and Rude Boy were a riot to dance to (and with). As the years passed, I went to clubs like Arnold’s and Porky’s in Ottawa. There, you would find a great variety of people who enjoyed their music, dancing and company of friends and strangers alike. The older folks really impressed the younger set as they jived with the ‘oldies’.

Since those days, I haven’t found a club like that, although there have been the odd nights where that same atmosphere prevailed. However, I’m optimistic that there are still people out there who love to dance (even together) to upbeat music. The Naismith ‘50’s and ‘60’s dance should bring some of those people *out and, with a little luck, we’ll all have a great time (that is if they don’t destroy the atmosphere with interludes of ‘80’s elevator music). You may think I’m a bit simple minded in my opinions (for whatever reasons), but at least when I’m dancing to upbeat music, I carry a smile.

FORUM. Let’s tzilk labouto . i Snake Oil. by 7om

York

Have you ever bought a bottle of snake oil? I did, last night. good for what ails you, Snake oil - something and overpriced. Though it’s not so much the contents as the sales pitch that accompanies it, that the rube, the mark, the sucker (in this case, me) pays for. Here’s what’s in the snake-oil I paid $35 for: “extracts of flowers, sarsaparilla root, celery seed, angelica root (archangelica), dandelion, harehound, licorice, senega, passion flower, thyme, gentian, saw palmetto berry, alfafa . . . ” It smells, and tastes, medicinal enough to cure or kill man or beast. Here’s how it came about that I not only bought it, but pleaded with the guy to sell it to me! I was at a wedding reception, about my 60Oth, and in recent weeks my tenth or so. These functions are notoriously boring, unless you’re the father of the bride or nine yearsold (my nine-year-old daughter was with me, and she had loads of fun), even for the bride and groom they’re a drag . . . we’re all seated at tables, with strangers, eating dinner, tinkling glasses, listening to speeches about the bride as a young girl, the groom as a boy, and drinking toasts to the couple; we’re all sort of waiting. . . for the dessert, for the dance, for something . . . At our table we introduced ourselves around. The snake-oil salesman described himself as “someone who finds money for people . . . nothing less than ten million.” The other guy was a shoe salesman, and I was in the preaching racket (they already knew that - I’d given the grace at the meal). Then the ladiesreturned from the washroom. The snake

oil salesman stood up. He had a gorgeous wife . .\. First he seated her, then he pulled the bottle out. I bought. So did-the shoe salesman. It was that simple, and they weren’t even trying. I knew at the time ’ it was a classic case of being taken, but I bit anyway. Why? - I wondered at the time, and I still wonder why? I think it was a question of style. This couple had style, and I liked their style. They were doing what they did, and what they did they did well. I went along for the ride.

Question

What is your opinion of the entertainment being presented at Fed Hall and what type of entertainment would you like to specifically see?

And boredom, too. The situation set me up, for . suckerdom. Wasn’t it Kierkegaard who attributed the creation of the world, and man, to boredom? God was bored, so He created the world. He was still bored, so he created Adam. Now Adam was bored, so God created Eve. Both of them were bored, and soon came Cain and Abel. The whole bunch of them were bored, and the tower of Babel resulted, etc. It’s as plausible an explanation as the Big Bang, and far easier to imagine, for me, at least. But I don’t really regret my purchase. I’m taking it, half an ounce twice daily, and waiting for my‘own big bang. Since I don’t have any ailments to speak of, I don’t know exactly what it will do, or just how it will affect me. But affect me it will, I’ve no doubt.

On April 26, 1986 the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl in the Soviet Unionbecame the site of one of the worst nuclear “accidents” in history. As a result of this accident, an invisi_ ble cloud of poisonous radioactive material passed over northern Europe and in northern Sweden, it rained. The rain did not look or feel any different from any other rain, but its effects were very different. I Sweden experienced a nuclear fallout. The worst is a radioactive compound called Cesium 137. Cesium 137 has a half-life of 30 years. It fell on the ground where it was absorbed and taken up by the roots of plants and subsequently ingested by animals; It fell into the water where it became a part of the fish and other aquatic life. As a substance continues up the food chain, it becomes more concentrated. In particular, the reindeer ate the contaminated lichen. Some reindeer now contain more than 600 times the safe level of Cesium 137. Of a herd of 20,000 reindeer, only 2,872 were found to be below the safe limit for this com-1 pound. -Reindeer may not seem important

victims call for nuclear freeze

until one considers the native population of northern Sweden, the Saw. miids. The Sawrniids are in many ways equivalent to our Inuit. For centuries they have lived off their domesticated reindeer herds. Reindeer are a way of life; reindeer are life. Other. wise known as Lapplanders, these people had never heard of Chernobyl or Cesium 137. Now they talk about it every day. Three Sawmiid came to the University of Waterloo October 25 to give first-hand accounts of the disaster. Paul Doj, a Swedish journalist showed slides of the affected area. The scenery was breathtaking and the tragedy only too real when he gestured toward the screen depicting a sparkling mountain lake surrounded by majestic evergreens and with a sigh declared it was “all poisoned now”. The tour was arranged by Ontarian and Nova Scotian environmental groups in an effort to promote awareness in Canada of the danger of nuclear power. Doj spoke of the extent of the damage. “It was undreamed of,” he said, ‘all we can do is wait.” The levels of radioactivity in the animals are higher now than they were earlier in the summer. No one knows when the levels will stop rising

and start falling. He pointed out to us that Sweden was just “unlucky”. If the rain had started three or four hours later, it would have fallen in the Atlantic Ocean. Seven to 10 hours later, it would have fallen on Canada. Reindeer herders, John Persson and L.ars Gunnar Tomasson, expressed their concern over the loss of their livelihood. They are no longer allowed to sell the reindeer meat for food. The people are angry, sad, worried. “We are not angry at the Soviet Union,” said Persson, “we are angry at the whole thing. This nuclear thing it’s everywhere, you know. . . Act for Disarmament was on hand to bring attention to their campaign to gain support for a province-wide referendum in the next provincial election. They insist the people of Ontario should decide whether to cancel the Danington nuclear power station project and phase out all nuclear activities in Ontario by the year 2020. When asked how he felt about the recent decision by Premier David Peterson to go ahead with construction at the Darlington nuclear power plant, Doj replied: “Stop it. You are crazy if you believe in nuclear power plants.” He pointed out alternatives

such as hydroelectric and geotherma1 power. In Sweden, plans have been made to close all nuclear facilities by the year 2010. Doj emphasized, “It is human beings who are working in nuclear power plants and they can do mistakes.” The Assembly of First Nations, a group representing the native peoples of Canada, has been asked to

help the Samiid look for suitable reindeer area in this country in case they can never return to their way of life in northern Sweden. “If Mother Nature cannot clean the country by herself, we have to move if we want to go on living the way we have done.“, declared Doj, and asked the question . for which no one has an answer: “What will the youngsters do?”

Faculty loses bid to end mandatory retirement at 65 OTTAWA (CUP) - Eight professors and one librarian who sued four Ontario universities over forced retirement have lost the first round in a legal battle to win faculty protection against age discrimination. Justice W. Gibson Gray of the On-

tario Supreme Court has ruled that Ontario universities are not bound by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and therefore may retire faculty at age 65. The professors and librarian four from York, two each from Laurentian and Toronto and one from Guelph - were using Section 15 of - the charter, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of age. In a 75.page ruling, Gray said universities have traditionally been granted autonomy from other regulations. Gray also said retirement at 65 is favourable to “ensuring the integrity of pension plans and improvinng the prospects of unemployed youth.” On faculty renewal, Gray said “35 year-old lecturers and professors . . . are being denied opportunity” by loosened retirement rules. According to the Canadian Association of University Teachers, which is jointly bearing court cost with the Ontario Confederation of ‘University Faculty Associations, more flexible retirement policies would actually help, not hinder, faculty renewal. John Thompson, a member of CAUTs academic freedom committee, said only “a handful” of professors want to work past 65, and some would prefer- to retire early if they could collect full pension benefits. Thompson said poor financing of the country’s, schools is more to blame for Canada’s faculty crunch than aging, tenacious faculty. “If the universities has the same student-to-faculty ratios today as they did 10 years ago, there’d be 2,000 more jobs in Canada,” he said. Gray’s decision is a victory for university administrators, eager to keep faculty and other costs to a minimum. A different ruling “could have substantially changed the things we’re doing,” said University of Toronto vice-provost David Cook. William Beckel, president of Otta- , wa’s Carleton University, which has a collective agreement provision allowing faculty to work past age 65, said he is “torn over the issue”. While agreeing underfunding is the root of, the problems, f3eckel defends mandatory retirement in universities. “If you have no mechanisms for finding the large amount of money left through retirement, it would be very difficult for administrators to hire new staff,” he said. Carleton faculty association president David Cray said a joint university committee has been struck to examine more flexible retirement policies. “Why throw away valuable people to help cope with underfunding? I think that’s very shortsighted,” said Cray. CAUT official Vie Sim said he -would be surprised if an appeal was not made at the Ontario Court of Appeal. CAUT will officially decide its next legal move at a November meeting. Mandatory retirement is illegal in Quebec and Manitoba, while the governments of Saskatchewan and Alberta are considering abolition. The federal government may strike mandatory retirement in thecivil service.

MONTREAL (CUP) - A proposal that would abolish tuition fees in favour ofa special “education tax” has been presented to the Quebec government bythe Concordia University student council. Under the Post Obligatory Education Tax (POET), brainchild of Concordia student Pete Wheeland, students would defer payment of fees until they graduated. Wheeland said graduates would pay up to two per cent of their salaries one year after finding their first job. The tax would be collected for three years for every year a student spent in college or university. A graduate earning below the POET “floor” of $20,000 would not be taxed. Although POET was last year adopted as official policy of Concordia’s student council, the idea has long been around in one form or another, says former council vice-president Francois Desrosier, who presented the brief to government. TORONTO (CUP) - Faculty at the University of Toronto want their policy on sexual harassment to distinguish between “serious” and “mild” forms of harassment. Students and staff have opposed the U of T Faculty Association’s definition of “repeated or extreme” harassment as condition for filing a grievance. According to Henry Rogers, UFTA’s chief negotiator for the sexual harassment policy, the words “repeated and extreme” were added to “distinguish very mild things from more serious things.” But student representatives argue that the clause is intimidating and unnecessary. “If students are faced with a policy that suggests that harassment may not be as important - as ‘extreme’ as they think - they may never feel confident enough to report it,” said Brian Burchell, a student council representative of U of Ts Board of Governors. The Faculty Association has also requested that all complaints be filed within six months of an incident. “The longer you wait,” said Rogers, “the more you give up the notion of prevention.” Longer delay periods, he added, also reduce the chance to gather solid evidence. But, said Burchell, “it is reasonable to suggest that students would be very reluctant to launch a complaint against an instructor while they exist in a grade relationship with that given instructor.”

NEWS . Police no.help, women-must TORONTO (CUP) - Women in downtown Toronto neighbourhoods are organizing against silence surrounding sexual violence against women. ’ Following five rapes in the Annex neighbourhood near the University of Toronto, committed systematically by the same man during a twomonth period, women are blaming local media and police for not informing them about the rapist. “We don’t want stories that focus on the victim, what she did, what she wore, what she looked like, and we don’t want rape reports buried in the back of the paper,” said Nora Currie of Women Against Violence Against Women. We want information on or near the front page.” A public meeting in early October attracted more the 150 women, many of whom expressed anger and betrayal about the silence concerning serial rapes. A letter written by the fifth victim of the Annex rapes, and addressed to feminist Globe and Mail columnist

New van to run more steadily than old van by JoAnn Hutchison Imprint staff

People who use UWs safety van will no longer have to worry about the service being unoperational due to the lack of a vehicle, since a vat? dedicated primarily to its use will be on the road November 3. The Federation of Students decided to get their own van,because “the present van is borrowed from the Geography Department and we do not have first priority to its use,” explains Carol Cioulette, Fed vicepresident fdr operations and finance. “Because of this there have been times when we have had to cancel the safety van at the last minute. This is not fair to people who were counting on the service.” “The van is a former plant operations van that was ready to be traded in,” says Goulette. “Plant operations and student services are splitting the trade-in cost, paying for a safety check and installing seats. Although the van will be in their name, they are buying it for our use and we will have first priority to it.” She explains that plant operations may use it occasionally throughout the day, so they have agreed to help pay for maintenance and gas costs. This arrangement will help decrease the cost of operating the van. The new van will operate from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. and will continue to follow the route it has been taking since January 1986 when the service was first offered. l-he route is designed to hit the heavily student populated areas which are not easily accessed by public transportation. Goulette says that “we would like to expand the route, but this is difficult to do since the present route takes the full half hour. If we are able to operate a second van through donations, we will expand the route.” Eleven people can be seated in the new van, whereas 15 could be seated in the old one. Goulette says the change is not likely to cause major problems. “It is only during peak times that the van is filled to capacity and people will just have to wait if it’s full.” The van has been in operation for the past 10 months. Goulette says the service has been “well-used by the students and administrators such as Ernie Lucy, director of student services, and Shawn Sloane of plant operations have been extremely supportive of the project.” She says she hopes people “will feel free to talk to her about about probletis or suggestions that relate to the van.”

June Callwood, was read aloud during the meeting. “Four weeks ago, as I slept in my bed, my doors locked, a hooded man forced his way into my apartment, my bed and myself,” the woman wrote. “The man who raped t-he has raped four other women in a sixblock radius in the last two months. He follows his prey like a hunter. He attacks single women living alone in second or third-floor apartments. He always enters through the balcony,” she wrote. “Why wasn’t I made aware (before) that my life was in danger?’ The woman also said she was told by police not to speak with the ra: pist’s other victims, or try top warn other women because it would hinder the police investigation. Police officials were invited to the meeting, but no representatives attended. Organizers said the no-show is indicative of their priorities. Ann Keown, who organized a similar meeting during the summer, warned women of police attitudes. “The police did show up at our meeting. We asked them what a woman would do if she is sexually assaulted. Should she struggle,” said Keown. “The answer was ‘Do you want to lose your life just to prevent someone from getting a couple of minutes of pleasure?” Murrary Cowling, an inspector with the 52nd Division of the Metro Toronto Police, said police did not at-

tend the October meeting because they had only received the invitation that day. “I consider that too short notice for a topical issue like rape. I wouldn’t want to send someone down there who didn’t know what they were talking about,” said Cowling. Valerie Scott of the Canadian Organization for the Rights of Prostitutes said rape could be prevents through the information network shared by prostitutes, if they were not silenced by police and stigmatized by the public. “It’s just another example of how soci&y divides women to make them powerless,” said Scott, adding government legislation prevents prostitutes from communicating with each other, the media and police. “We know who these guys are. We have their license plates, we’ve seen Lheir faces,” said Scott. “Women need to network and to start acting for themselves.” Barbara Hall, alderwoman and member of the Metro Action Committee Against Violence Against Women, said women shouldn’t have to “lock themselves into their houses” to be safe. “Women must look at the active ways to stop violence. Organize more meetings like this, take selfdefense courses, talk to and meet other women in your neighbourhoods and demand better lighting and better public transportation from your municipal politicians,” said Hall.

Rm-

The German born computer scientist, who went to the U.S. with his family in 1936, believes that “computer literacy” is about as_ im. portant as bicycle riding, and that _. much contemporary concern wrth the question is misplaced. Children must learn their natural language, and they must learn their history, said Weizenbaum. These are the priori7 ties, and after they have learned these things, if there is time left over, riding bicycles, playing tennis, and tiddlywinks may be good things to teach. The situation of language education in American schools was described by the professor as desperately bad. Eight (80) per cent of MlTfreshmen fail a language proficiency test which requires them to write a paragraph and which “we do not judge that harshly”. “Techno-savvy”, not computer literacy is needed to deal with the computer age, said Weizenbaum. Just as one does not have to be a mechanic to make use of autos, or know Morse Code in order to use the telegraph effectively, one doesn’t need to know the details inside the computer. Generally, according to Weizenbaum, techno-sawy, even among the computer “literate” tends to be poor. In his 1976 book Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation, a text in use at UW, Weizenbaum equates facility with language to the capacity to think, and its links with the capacity to communicate are obvious. He scathingly criticizes technical training which is not built on a foundation of literary and cultural understanding. “The computer is a metaphor” he says, which shapes ideas, and structures thought. But without other metaphors, people become entrapped by its power. In the study of computers, an early objective was to make the machine imitate human thought, and this shed light on the nature of human thought processes. But today, the computer metaphor is being used to explain people, rather

than human metaphors being used to understand how machines should be dealt with. We come to see ourselves mechanistically, and this, for Weizenbaum is a problem. “The problem is in looking at human beings as information processors” says Prof. Weizenbaum. “People are information processors, unquestionably” he adds, “but we are also paper-weights”. The point, obviously, is that we are more than paper-weigh,& or information processors. Nor, he insists, can all problems be reduced to calculation. And human problems, he insists, are not normai?y solvable in the sense that equations can be solved. “Human problems are usually transformed into other problems. He cited the example of divorce as a “solution” to marriage breakdown. “It’s not a solution at all” he insists. It merely transforms one set of problems into another. In effect, it is not a “computable problem”. Artificial Intelligence came in for some satiric lambasting. “People believe in it” he said. And as long as they do, they will continue to spend vast sums researching it, and they will continue to believe that such things as Star Wars might work But, he said, Star Wars will not work. “Whenever I try to tell them that”, he said “they tell me ‘expert systems’ will take care of the problem”. Computers can only help us with problems we understand, and they ought not to be applied to other sorts of problems. He insisted that Al will never replace, nor duplicate human intelligence. “Every behaving organism [people or computers] is a function of its history” he said. To experience life as a human, you have to be a human he insisted. But computers are “behaving organisms”, and they can think machine thoughts. Perhaps, he said, a “cognitive wheel” will be discovered. Like the mechanical wheel, which is , not found in nature, a cognitive

wheel could do some things better than humans, as mechanical wheels can “run” faster than men. But it will never be a replacement for or a duplication of humanity. Weizenbaum identified two kinds of computer research, that motivated by theory, and that motivated by results. The theoretical approach tries to understand what it is doing, the practical, just wants performance. Military money is usually available for the performance oriented research. Performance oriented research appears to be very seductive. The example of chess-playing programs was cited. In the early days, researchers attempted to find out how good chess players played. in the end, they abandoned that effort. Modern chess programs beat most humans by evaluating every possible move, every -possible counter-move, several moves ahead. Then, numerical values are assigned to the evaluations, and the most advantageous is chosen. Millions of moves must be evaluated for each move taken. A human chess player, of course, evaluates only a handful of moves, but the best humans can still beat the best computers. In the end programmers gave up on writing a program that would structurally duplicate the mental processes of a good chess-player, and settled for a program that worked, i.e. it could beat most people most of the time, essentially waiting for the human to make a mistake, something a wellprogrammed computer will not do. Such a program, running on an 8bii personal computer, takes two hours to make a move when programmed to look five moves ahead. That’s a helluva lot of number crunching. The achievements of Al are small, although immense claims are made for them, claims in which people want to believe. In his press conference, Weizenbaum compared

Think about the implicatioris of your-work, asks Prof continued from page 12 science today with religion a century ago. “Complete with its temples and high priests” said Weizenbaum, people look to science for answers to everything. Unfortunately the only answers science can provide are to those questions that can be calculated. Every great world religion has recognized the central importance of “love” he said. And presumably love is something that cannot be calculated. Jesus told a parable about “the pearl of great price”. The kingdom of heaven is like a pearl whose value is so great it cannot be calculated. When it comes to such matters computers fall mute. Like a divide overflow, the attempt to reach the infinite is like dividing an integer by 0. The damned machine will always spit out some utterly unsatisfactory result. It cannot be done. The central question of life “does not compute” to quote a machine. Scientists, and especially Computer Scientists, without whom the “qualitative” escalation of the arms race would be impossible, were challenged on Wednesday to “think about the end-use of your work Ask yourself, are you contented or ashamed” of that end use. The provocative lecturer came out

swinging against the “prettification” of language in which atomic and hydrogen bombs, which he called “mass murder machines’* are spoken of as “weapons” and “delis ery systems”. “They are not weapons”, he said, they are “instant extermination camps” and “extermination camp delivery systems” as much as Auchwitz or Dachau. The “pretty” language helps people achieve psychological distance from the real effects of their actions. This combined with a tendency to become absorbed in tiny details and subproblems, and a sense of “personal powerlessness, the belief in which tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy” contributes to an atmosphere in which people design and build these mass murder machines without any thought for the purpose of their work The ultimate purposes of our work are, for Weizenbaum, utterly crucial. “We have the power to fundamentally change the world for the better” he said. Furthermore, he said, “we already have the technology” to pro vide every human with sufficient material well-being to live in dignity. The world’s problems are not technical, they are “problems of political will.” He arqued that the objective was ultimately to stop the nuclear arms

race, and even bring an end to nuclear power stations, but that success was not be be measured by achieving the whole purpose. “Courage, like fear, is infectious” he said. And his initial objective is to get more people thinking more carefully about the implications of their life’s work. “We must know the facts, and then make judgments about how to respond .” Asked if this meant all computer science research should be stopped because any of it might be used by the military he replied that if that’s what it takes, “yes”. The potential advantages of new technologies, while real, he said, seemed less essential than the potential dangers of the military applications of many of them. Albert Einstein was asked late in life if, given a chance to do it again, he would choose to be a physicist. He said “No, I would be a shoemaker.” In his lecture on Tuesday night, and Tuesday morning press conference, Weizenbaum spoke of the fascination with technology creating “belief’ or “faith” in what he called the “today’s high priests in their temples” [scientists in their labs]. He complained of education which neglected language, culture and history in favour of technology. The first priority should be facility with language and a capacity for clear think-

“My feeling is that if the work is going to be done, I’d rather it be uisible, . . . rather than moving somewhere else where it can be done silently, freely. . . The campus wilI be insulated and apparently pure, but the work is done effec tiuely and without constraint. “In fact, my proposal, and I meant it quite seriously, was that the universities ought to establish Departments of Death that should be right in the centre of campus, in which all the work in the university which is committed to destruction and murder and oppression should be centralized. They should have an honest name for it . . . It should be called Death Technology or Theory of Oppression or something of that sort, in the interest of truth-in-packaging. (Then people would know what it is; it would be impossible to hide. In fat t, every effort should be made to make it difficult to hide the political and moral character of the work that’s done.” -Noam

Chomsky,

in “Linguistic

Analysis”

“Departments of death” operate on campuses all over the world, yet they are unobtrusive. There are no courses on death offered. Military research has never been purposely exposed to the bright lights and microphones of the public eye; the scope of such research and its relevance has rarely been debated. Subtly obfuscated at best, shrouded in absolute secrecy at worst, few realize the extent of military research in universities and colleges across Canada be- . cause it is so diffused.

“I had been clinging to the hpe that at the last minute something in the atomic bomb would fail to work.”

Even the professors doing military-funded research don’t seem to realize, or don’t admit they realize, the destructive applications of their work. Usually corporations and government departments funding military ‘R&D contract individual researchers to do “basic research” - seemingly small, hypothetical problems with no apparent or direct military applications. “Different researchers on different campuses could be working on different aspects of a related problem, which when put together, could be a new highly destructive military weapon about which none of the individual researchers were aware,” says David Suzuki, University of British Columbia geneticist and host of CBC’s The Nature

McMaster University, found Pepin’s argument “either intentionally misleading, exaggerated, or highly misinformed.” Abdel-Aziz and Bather write in their study that spin-offs for civilian use from military research are few. For example, investment in the research and development of supersonic craft technology has been “nearly a complete loss to the civilian economy.” Because of the highly expensive operating costs of these crafts, they are only affordable to the military. In a world moving closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation, there is an increasing need to assess the role of academics in the perpetuation of the arms race. The Military Industrial Complex includes and is crucially dependent on academics to create the weapons of destruction as well as “to justify their development and use in foreign policy classes and the like,” says McGill Political Science professor Sam Noumoff. Some scientists recognized the dangers inherent in nuclear weapons either during the development of the first line of atomic weapons,or immediately afterward when their existence was dramatically demonstrated to the world.

Yet the “Death Technology” Chomsky, a well-known linguist and American foreign policy analyst, speaks of is being researched and developed in different departments on at least 30 Canadian campuses. According to DND spokesperson Captain John Paul Macdonald, the Canadian Department of National Defense (DND) funnelled approximately $6.8 million to Canadian universities during the 198586 academic year. Many scientists also work outside the university on military research projects. DND, says Project Ploughshares research co-ordinator Ernie Regehr, also gives large research contracts to Canadian corporations, which, in turn, “hire many university professors as consultants.” The proiiferation of research contracts within the Canadian and American military in Canadian universities can only serve to fuel the arms race. Although this research may lead to technological innovations or “spin-offs” which have potential benefits for civilian use, this is not its raison d’etre. DND funding means possible military applications. If it didn’t, why would the DND bother? According to Regehr, “Our economy is evolving more and more into a war economy.” Despite some beneficial civilian applications of this research, the source of funding must be considered. Former Canadian minister of industry, trade, and commerce Jean-Luc Pepin says “it is very difficult to identify what is civil research and what is military research in many instances; a lot of civilian research leads to military innovation, and a lot of military research leads to civilian innovation.” While Pepin claims military research will lead to huge civilian benefits, more and more researchers in the last 40 years have come to the opposite conclusion.

Since the fateful discovery of atomic energy over 40 years ago, more than 1,200 nuclear bombs have been detonated on this planet, begins Bertell. “How far does the radiation go when they set off a bomb?’ she asks. Bertell says at first she was told radiation from a nuclear blast travels halfway around the earth. “Then I found out it goes two and a half times around the planet.” “We’ve already polluted our own earth to a serious degree,” she

“We have to stop operating out of fear, and activate the best part of our humanness the peace, strength, beauty which is at the centre of our hearts and our souls,” she concludes. The film is compelling and informative; Bertell tells us more about the dangers of the arms race in 20 minutes than most films can convey in 90. Although Nash used the same techniques and structure as If You Love This Planet, in Nuclear Addiction, she says she didn’t plan similarities between the two films. “It’s different because I didn’t start out to make it that way,” she says. She contrasts Bertell’s image with the dynamism of Dr. Helen Caldicott. “She (Bertell) doesn’t have the same emotional punch as Helen. But then, Rosalie’s approach to her work is much different.” “Rosalie is very shy. She has no vested interest in this world, no glory, no fame - it almost goes against her nature,” she says. Nash says Bertell started out researching leukemia and the effects of radioactivity on the aging. It was from there that she began her present work as an activist. She is also “very dedicated” to her work with Micronesians exposed to radiation from nuclear testing, says Nash.

On his last day in the Washington court of appeals, before being appointed by Reagan to the Supreme Court, (Judge) Scalia upheld the appeal. “And now it is going to be heard in 1987 in the Supreme Court, where Scalia now sits,” she says. “It doesn’t leave me with much confidence because the Supreme Court is becoming increasingly conservative with all the new Reagan appointees.” The director thinks the judicial system is becoming far too cozy with those actively promoting the development of nuclear technoland corporaWY - governments tions. Nash says she’s worried Nuclear Addictions may be stamped with the same “foreign propaganda” label as If You Love This Planet. “If the appeal is upheld, then I think we’re in trouble.” The attack on films that challenge the nuclear weapons buildup “is justified by appealing to arguments of national security,” Nash says. “But it’s not the real issue - the real issue is corporate interests and the judicial protection of those interests it’s terrifying.” Facing a planet poisoned by the lethal material needed for the ‘nuclear fix,’ and the corporate, judicial and military interests threatened by its withdrawal, Nuclear Addiction may bring us one step closer to redefining ‘national security.’

What makes Jeffrey and Franklin different from most researchers is they have taken 4 a stand on the question of military research. So have other academics in the past 10 years, as the growth of groups like Physicians for Social Responsibility and Science for Peace attest to. As Regehr points out, “organization against military research is crucial, particularly if the idea is to create a sense of social and moral responsibility in the minds of professors.” To solve the problems socially irresponsible academics have created, academics must reassess their relationship to society and the ethical implications of their research and activities in and outside the university. Universities and society in general must rethink the role of the university in building and justifying a system that may, very possibly, lead to global annihilation. Regehr says, “the best way to address the issue of military research is by opening it up.” Universities should not accept classified research - “the full disclosure of the sources of research grants and the results is just a first step.” The next is “rigorous debate within the profession on the appropriateness and moral implications of military research. After all,“says Regehr, “the whole point of scholarly work is that it’s open to the criticism and judgment of one’s peers.” If we were to follow Chomsky’s alternative, military research and its social, political, and moral character would be exposed. If all research of a military nature at McGill or the University of Manitoba had to be undertaken in a central building called the Ministry of Death, all would realize how mhssive the contribution to what Chomsky calls ‘Death Research’ really is. Perhaps if people could recognize Death Research, says Chomsky, they would end it. Above all, one must remember, says Jeffrey, what the Nuremberg trials taught us: “Orders are not orders.” They are alternatives.

A casual, classic-al energy by Al&m Child “Use all the music and eight . . . plie and stretch, roll up and balance .” The Judith Marcuse Repertory Dance Company of Canada is warming up for the evenings performance to a hum-sing accompaniment interspersed with rhythmic clapping and snapping. Suddenly, the classical ballet barre is disrupted by technicians checking the sound level and a blast of Benny Goodman’s And The Angels Sing invades the theatre. The music proves as irresistible in rehearsal as it was in performance and two dancers momentarily break from the barre into a bluesy improvisation. Oddly enough, this fleeting glimpse behind the scenes provided a certain insight into the nature of the company and the work of choreographer , Judith Marcuse. Although the dancers are predominantly balletically trained, this Vancouver-based repertory company is dedicated to the presentation of modern classics and original works created by leading modern choreographers from Canada and abroad. The program was equally divided between Marcuse works and guest choreography giving the dancers the opportunity to demonstrate both the technical control demanded by the Marcuse pieces and Lubovitch’s Big Shoulders and the theatrical potency demanded by Grossman’s Triptych and Ginette Laurin’s And The Angels Sing.

Given this conscientious program balance, it’s unfortunate that in retrospect the outstanding pieces are non-Marcuse works. The Marcuse selections were pleasing in the inter-l play of a casual/classical energy but the same energies and even the same gestures would reappear to diminish the individuality of each work. Marcuse’s balletic background as a dancer provides a classical undercurrent in her work as a choreographer. In conversation, Marcuse makes no secret of herballetic bias as she feels that,“the conservative vocabulary can still speak strongly today.” We meet the Marcuse mix of classical formality and pedestrian playfulness in the first piece,the colourfui Time Out and it is visually delightful. When the smooth balletic passages break into frenetic twitching and then return to a casual classicism yet again,in Closed Circuit, it becomes stylistically predictable. Laurin’s And The Angels Sing was like a gust of fresh creativity with its opening battery of pratfalls and ensuing sultry flippancy. While complementing the casual grace of the Marcuse pieces, Laurin’s work was almost overpowering in its high energy risk-taking. Danny Grossman’s Triptych stood alone in its grim expressionism presenting the only real emotional challenge of the evening. The Marcuse dancers rose to meet the shabby searching souls of Triptych and rendered the piece unforgettable.

there, some surf, some turf, some Tex-Mex, some psychedelia and of course some novelties. “Take the Skinheads Bowling” will be familiar to fans of Pete and Geets from CFNY. The song, according to Lowery, was written in response to the California hard-core explosion of 1983 when many of the formerly clean cut jocks at his high school suddenly appeared sporting bare scalp and black boots. So what does one do with shaved suburban sweethearts who like to slam dance? You take them bowling of course! Introduce them to loud bowling shirts and printed boxer shorts. Imagine Rodney Danger-field with his head shaved and pumped up on steroids. Perhaps the sweetest irony of the evening came when the fresh-faced fashion plates in the front row began to slam dance (gently) to celebrate the newly formed Skinhead Bowling League. This self-professed garage band, hailing from Santa Cruz and San Francisco, have developed an aversion to being called wacky, zany or eclectic. This however is the nature of garage bands. You don’t have to do expert interpretations of anything. You play what the members like and if it encompasses a dozen musical styles, then so be it. In terms of skill these guys are pros. The measured drumming from Chris Pedersen and popping bass from Victor Krummenacher lay a solid groundwork for the frontmen to embroider and Johnathan Segel, violinist and keyboard player, Lowery and Chris Molla, on pedalsteel guitar, presented a powerful musical presence.

About the state of Canadian letters, Hutchison said “Canadians are enjoying a measure of success” and he mentioned that books by Margaret Atwood and Robertson Davies are candidates for an award in England. “If you’re a poet, it doesn’t matter what language you use, people will know it and value it. Since I’ve come to Canada, I’ve always relished the people who were doing things, and what they were doing (instead of worrying about what ‘being Canadian’ means.)”

Asked about his selection of poems for the reading, Hutchison said, “it was based on irony. Irony (and not just in the sarcastic sense) is important because it presents you with the possibility of multiple meanings. When read over again, a poem doesn’t say anything new, but the tone has changed. You’ve brought a different self to it. Sometimes the best poetry doesn’t appear to say very much, because its impact is elsewhere.” “Poems trigger emotions in people that you can’t predict. That’s part of the whole appeal. Of course, the standard test (of the poem’s impact) is when the hair at the back of your neck stands up - and you don’t know why!” from

Stipe is a singer that knows his own capabilities. In the encore set, he was left on stage to croon the audience by himself, he swung into the Tina Turner tune, We Don’t Need Another Hero and was then joined by 10,000 Maniacs’ Natalie Merchant. This fun and spontaneous vocal jam saw Stipe pleasantly staying within his own range while * matched with the beautifully strong voice of Merchant. Another fine vocal moment occurred during a stunning version of . South Central Rain. A guitar and vocal duet was performed by Buck and Stipe T the results were breathtaking. As South Central Rain, the closing number, was great, the playing of Flowers of Guatemala was fascinating and fantastic. The song was introduced by Stipe stating, “In America, there is a policy (pause) it’s called genocide”. This statement was followed by a sweet guitar intro and then, a kalidescope of lights projected on the screen began as Stipe sang, The people here are colourful and bright. The message of the song was thrown at the audience by Stipe replacing the word “flowers” with “powers” in the line The flowers cover over euerything. While critics have often maligned Stipe for producing inaudible and seemingly nonsensical lyrics, Michael Stipe has added a new dimension to the music of R.E.M. for me. What was before just great music to listen in the car because of the wonderful overall sound of the band, is now much more thoughtprovoking courtesy of the lyrics of Michael Stipe. For this reason alone I can be thankful to have witnessed America’s best band, R.E.M., on Monday night. ’

As you might already have guessed, this being an Elvis Costello (and the Attractions) album, there is much more blood than chocolate. You just knew that the selfdepreciating, almost apologetic tone of King of America was not something Declan could keep up for any length of time. Blood and Chocolate is the Imposter’s most embittered work to date leaving Imperial Bedroom and Goodbye Cruel World far below on the venometer. Musically, it’s the closest he has dared come to rock ‘n’ roll since My Aim Is True which, coincidentally, was also produced by Nick Lowe. It’s difficult to decide what makes Costello’s sketches almost unlistenable.

by Paul Done

Ever since they produced a classic pop album in Dare, The Human League have been struggling to regain their Midas touch. Though there have been moments since: Keep Feeling Fascination, Mirror Man, and The Lebanon have all brought them some degree of success, The Human League has never quite managed to find that winning combination of simple, warmsounding synth work and lyrics which just slightly escape being vacuous. Now, with the production and guidance of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, both former members of The Time, The Human League are hop ing the Jam and Lewis Midas touch will rub off on them. In Human, the first single from the album, Jam and Lewis have managed to give The Human League a monster hit in the same fashion that they did for Janet Jackson, Force M.D.‘s and The S.O.S. Band. In actual fact, Human isn’t a bad song: decent harmonies, a smooth percussion track that goes clickety-clack and a simple melody that sticks in the brain. Unfortunately, most of the rest of the album is uniformly mediocre. Side One is the side of one-word titles: Human, Swang, Jam phew! It must have taken them days to think of those titles. The other side is the “lurve” side where they tell us that “lurve is all that matters”, “lurve is all we need” and on and on . Though occasionally, Jam and Lewis accomplish the nearly impossible feat of making The Human League sound funky, however the funk is stiff and one-dimensional. Crash is not an abominable album, by the same token, it is not the kind of album which makes you want to play it while you frolick with a naked, nubile female. Undistinguished is the word which sums this UP*

you can’t drink it down So you hang around and drown instead Home isn’t where it used to be Home is anywhere you hang your head (Home Is Anywhere You Hang Your Head) or maybe it’s that his outlook is so rigidly pessimistic - even in the alburns most tender moment his pessimism finally gets the better of him: I want you rrn going to say it once again ‘til I instill it I know I’m going to feel this way until you kill it. (I Want You)

Of course something must be said for the real life/identification factor that the situation’s dredge up but it’s probably a more basic quality shared by all of the songs. At the risk of sounding overly philosophical, the album’s pervasive theme is unrequited love, that hateful experience known first hand by almost everyone on earth. Since this concept, in its various guises, is dealt with so graphically and unfettered, much of it is difficult to come to terms with. ,As unpalatable as this might seem, it is unfortunately just how life really is i for many people.

the British folk/rock band, and later, with his wife Linda, recorded a string of impeccable albums. Their last, the stunning Shoot Out The Lights, just preceded their divorce early this decade. Daring Adventures is Thompson’s third post-split record which, as usual, is a well played and entertaining collection of upbeat rock tunes and desolate ballads. To call Thompson the best guitarist in rock would be knee-jerk praise, but he is definitely among the best. What sets him apart from many is the emotive quality of his playing, and this quality shows on many of the songs here. But something that shows even more isThompson’s chronic pessimism about love. It’s especially evident on songs like Missie How You Let Me Down, Long Dead Love and Jennie; if anything is becoming wearisome about Thompson, it’s this: He seems to have this infinite capacity for writing these arid ballads about emotional emptiness. It’s not that

these songs aren’t good, because they are. Maybe if he didn’t write so many of them . . . The uptempo Valerie is one of the best he’s written for a while, though, and Dead Man’s Handle and Nearly in Loue show how effective Thompson’s renowned Celtic folk/rock fusion can be. That latter song also bodes well, since it’s one of the few he’s written in which he sounds hopeful when speaking of love. If this is the turning of a new leaf, it’s the freshest in years. For quite some time, Thompson has been pushed by the press as the great undiscovered talent that the whole world should hear. In point of fact, he is. But whether or not Daring Adventures will be that big break is a matter of marketing and promotion. For years, Thompson has been turning out consistently fine, above-average music which would probably have a considerably larger audience if more people knew about it. Now you know, so buy the record.

by Paul Done Imprint staff Pop music gains strength through its ability to absorb other cultures and styles of music. Like inbred human beings, music which imitates itself time and time again careens along a course toward ill-health and decay. Infusion of new cultural genetic material is necessary to maintain music’s vigour and energy. Unfortunately, the way in which the absorbed cultures are expressed often lacks the essence of the original - thus emerging shal-

Imprint, low and trite. This cross-pollination of culture has been going on for years: Brian Jones introduction of the sitar to ’60s psychedelic rock, the use of reggae and calypso rhythms in pop music since 1970, and in the last five or so years, the appearance of more complex African rhythms and textures. Under ideal circumstances, the non-Western music is then influenced by Western pop - take the way in which ’60s soul helped create reggae through its influence on artists such as Toots and The Maytals or Bob Marley. Likewise, Fela Kuti created Afro-Beat music as a fusion of traditional African sound values with more rigidly structured Western music. Kelvynator’s stated purpose is to ’ create “an international funk” through mixing modern funk -

bloodline Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, James Brown and Sly and The Family Stone - with Eastern tonal structures, South American rhythms and African rhythms. In a sense, this fusion is a re-introduction of “pure” African music back into Western popular music which it helped create through blues and jazz. Though Funk It Up may lack some of the raw, pounding power of Kelvynator’s live show, there is a subtlety of texture on it which makes the record a somewhat different proposition than the live show. The pan-cultural textures are far more evident on the album - from the polyrhythms and Kelvyn Bell’s Eastern-inflected singing on Another Time and Space to the overt Africanism of Ngolowake which is sung in Dwala, the native tongue of Cameroon. One of the problems that arises when musicians try to bridge cultures is that, often, they do not fully appreciate their native style first. The confusion and ineffectiveness of the result is often more harmful than good. Audiences often base tastes on these shallow imitations without ever having heard how powerful the true music can be. Each member of Kelvynator is an accomplished, classically-trained musician. They each possess not only the raw ability needed to play the music, but also the grounding in musical tradition needed to achieve the musical synthesis. Beyond all the empty intellectualizing about the cultural validity of Funk It Up, its primary purpose is to make you dance - that’s what funk is all about. The thin production on the record, more suited to a jazz album, makes the drums and bass sound a bit weedy at times. This becomes less and less of a hindrance, the louder and louder your stereo is turned up. Songs like On The One and the title cut start to hint at the butt-kicking funk that

Rather than the usual tightness which is a product of years of practice, James have achieved a calculated haphazardness of song structure. The smirking little boys who used to make songs which were like soft like lambs, then bit with fangs, now make songs which are like an unfit man jogging: they alternately gather themselves up into a frenzied, adrenaline-charged rush, before collapsing to the ground in panting mess. Unlike the man though, James’ songs do not go into cardiac arrest, instead they pick themselves back up for one more effort. Looseness and spontaneity like this is deceptive. It takes years of practice for the individual members of the band to react instinctively to feach other. Like great jazz musi-

Funk It Up is a great record. It can be appreciated at many levels - for musicianship, cultural vision or simply as hot dance music. cians, James make their music seem effortless and disguise the work which has gone into its creation. Listened to individually, bass, drums and guitar seem to play without concern for one another, but the end product is always coherent. Tim Booth, the lead singer meanwhile spouts stream-of-consciousness musings, sometimes cutting, sometimes amusing, more often both. “Watch Knievel hit the 17th bus, you get crushed in the souvenir rush”(Johnny Yen). Simple nursery rhyme rhythms and rhyme are used to express complex ideas setting up an ironic contrast between structure and content. Tim’s high, yearning voice seems out-of-sync with the music he often begins shouting one word over and over again, just when the music indicates that he should be singing a verse. Verses and choruses come in no apparent order, piling upon each other in a shaky tower of babble.

What do you do when you want to make a lot of money in a band and you have a lot of cute but unoriginal ideas, hate mainstream rock and roll,- and couldn’t write a tune to save your mother’s life? You dress it up in black., clog it with sophomoric angst, and pass it off as “alternative” music. It’s Immaterial and The Wolfgang Press have little in common aside from this: they’re not eclectic and innovative as much as they’re pretentious and dull. When you listen to albums like Life’s Hard Then You Die and Standing Up Straight that you realize how silly the term “alternative music” is. There’s just

Listening to any Gene loves Jezebel album can lead to a great deal of frustration because most of their stuff is crap. They’ve got a few decent songs like Shame, Bruises and more notablyDesire, which is off their latest L.P. release Disco&r. Desire represents the band at their best. The original is an insidious swirl of frenetic guitar jangles and searing vocals festooned with images of fear and sexual awaken-

good music and bad music and It’s Immaterial and The Wolfgang Press unwittingly prove that being the most alternative band in the world doesn’t necessarily make you any more interesting than Lionel Richie or Motley Crue. That said, It’s Immaterial’s debut album, Life’s Hard Then You Die, is one major disappointment considering the comparative excellence of Away From Home. Hitting ,Driving , I me same sort 1 orI* trance-aance groove of the great West End Girls, it’s typical of the rest of the record in that it’s well-produced, stylish and urbane, but totally unlike the rest of the proceedings since it is capable of sustaining interest over its entire four minutes. Oh, it’s diverse all right, drawing from various traditional European and North American idioms, but this seems to be more of a ndd toward artsy credibility rather than stemming from understanding and respect of these forms. The result is a muddled, aloof album that is more all over the map as opposed to

touching all the bases. Life may be hard, but It’s Immaterial aren’t making it any easier for anyone. As for Standing Up Straight, whatever happened to The Wolfgang Press? After Scarecrow, WCJter, and Sweatbox, three brilliant E.P.‘s that effectively fused exotic rhythms with hard electronics and tough funkiness, Messrs. Cox and Allen have gotten just a little too serious this time out. The nine dirges (to call these songs “tedious” j would be too charitable) which populate this vinyl are unbearably pompous and wholly bereft of anything remotely resembling a melody. The vocals moan wearily over tuneless . backing tracks about some supposed emotional tragedy, but the whole is entirely unconvincing; if their pain and yearning were genuine, the listener should feel something more than boredom.

stature. By rerecording Desire, the band hopes to blend their sound into a broader perspective. Unfortunately the new version lacks the intensity that the first song possesses. It’s a wimpy effort that relies on softened acoustics and mild syth washes. Nevertheless it still retains its driving pulse. The song will appeal to D.J.‘s no doubt. As far as attempting to reach commercial stardom, Gene loves Jezebel will have to do much more than just rerecord songs.

“I’ve had my ear to the ground... I’m just trying to find out what you’re hiding. What is the mystery?

State of the Nation, the ninth New Order single to appear since the band’s emergence back in 1980, fails to do justice to the band’s repertoire of enigmatic singles. It’s a song that will be shadowed by such cuts as, Temptation, Confusion, Blue Monday, Thieves like us, The Perfect Kiss, and Sub-Culture. Originally recorded as an extra track in last year’s recording sessions, it was reworked, past over in favour of ShellShock for the Pretty in Pink soundtrack and finally released in its present form. The song is not particularly melodic and inspiring. However the “b” side of the same song is really impressive. Entitled Shame of the Nation, it follows in the same vein as the extended Sub-Culture remix with its rising atmospheric aloofness and female backing vocals. It’s richly textured and etherealy wholesome. Like the reworked Sub-Culture, it strays from New Order’s characteristically simplistic complexities that are inherent on their other songs. Shame of the Nation is really a dance club re-mix of State of the Nation. As far-w-dance singles go, it’s fantastic. The. &iginal pales. -

new about greatnks

by Chris Wodskou Imprint Staff 54-40 is such a simple (I didn’t say simple-minded) record that it’s a tough one to figure out. The major label debut for the Vancouver roots (hands up, everyone who’s had it up to here with that word) bashers keeps finding its way onto the apartment turntable, but on the surface, there’s really not all that much to it. There’s nothing on here you’ve never heard before. The playing and arrangements are unashamedly conventional and uncomplicated, they offer no philosophical treatises and tread fairly familiar lyrical ground, and they make no effort to disguise their Buffalo Springfield and Neil Young influences - hardly names that send new wave kids into uncontrollable spasms of glee.

_ What

A Nice Way To Turn Seventeen ’ Issue Number Six .

by Tim Pkriich Imprint staff Issue Number Six of the U.K. fanzine/LP What A Nice Way To Turn Seventeen must have been an enormous task to put together for Chris Seventeen and crew. The 36page glossy large format magazine alone is almost worth the $15 cover price. It begins with a‘knowledgeable interview with the somewhat spectacular Go-Betweens’ Robert Vickers and Grant McLennan. Following this we run into an extremely well-researched seven page interview with Alex Chilton who details the Box Tops and Big Star years and explains their eventual break-ups. The feature is capped with a complete discography of authorized albums and singles as well as guest appearances. Next up is “A:’ Consumer’s Guide to Swell Maps” which outlines the relatively brief but prolific recording history of one of the lesser known U.K. post-punk independent groups. In addition, the ‘zine also has an interview (though not as comprehensive as the information uncovered in the Bucketful of Brains #17 article) with what is very likely the greatest pop band on the planet, Connecticut’s Miracle Legion and a feature on the red hot New Zealand indie scene (actually it’s more like the Dunedin scene). That’s only half of the story. There’s also an album with seventeen (of course) by seventeen different groups. Included are The Spinning Wighats (a.k The Long Ryder-s), The Sinners and the Hidden Charmsfrom Sweden, The Doublehappys and Sneaky Feelings from Dunedin and an odd coupling (well, not that odd really) of Mike Scott of the Waterboys and Nikki

version of Sudden’s Chelsea Embankment. Holly Beth Vincent returns to recording with a group called the Wild Things. Obviously a temporary arrangement, the band also has Anthony Thistlewaite of the Waterboys playing guitar as well as Mick Taylor (from that ‘hot teen combo’ the Rolling Stones). Together, the album and the magazine make an interesting and extremely informative. packaye for anyone with an affinity for contemporary pop music. \

But still, the unrestrained honesty and guitar-vocal interplay of I Go Blind and the soaring choruses of Take My Hand just won’t leave you alone when you really should be concentrating on your English essay, and they twist your rubber arm until you put it on again. Maybe, then, it’s not that hard to see why the grooves on 54-40 will wear out before most of the rest of your record collection. 54-40 are the best sort of formula band; they write damned infectious songs that, as hokey as it sounds, come straight from the gut. Lead vocalist and guitarist Neil Osborne hooked up with bassist Brad Merritt after a brief flirtation with jazz at The Berkeley School of Music to form .the groundwork for 5440 in 1980. “I spent eight months at Berkeley in Boston,” -says Osborne ,“and it was a good experience, but I just got a little discouraged with the academia of music. I guess I learned that what I really needed to do was just play music and that music wasn’t about textbooks. Brad and I were buddies from high school and he had just dropped out of punk rock school so we kind of put it together and came up with what we have now.” Strangely, considering they come from a country whose bands find the U.S. border all but impenetrable un-. less they happen to be Bryan Adams, 54-40 found themselves playing up and down the American west coast rather than touring throughout the rest of Canada, shifting more vinyl in California than anywhere else. Was this a major factor in getting the U.S. record deal with WEA? “Definitely, yeah, it was a result of piaying in Los Angeles a lot and getting a good reputation,” Osborne explains. “I mean, when you play in Los Angeles, all the record companies come out to see you. You don’t get paid well, you get exposure. All the record companies are based there and they’d have to be pretty interested in you to take a plane

somewhere to see you, but if you’re right in their backyard, it’s no problem.” But in spite of their new status as a major label band, Osborne doesn’t see any potential problems with the record company trying to commercialize the band and tamper with their sound. Obviously happy with the terms of the deal, he maintains that 54-40 only know how to make music one way and that WEA understands this. Although campus support for 54-40 has been strong so far, he also recognizes that the supposed blow to credibility that landing a contract brings about might make campus radio somewhat wary of them. “Well, it’s sort of a fickle crowd, but I think we’d prefer to be classed by our status but by our music, y’know? Although I don’t wanna lose touch with the campus scene although it’s their fault if they think w&e good only ‘cos we’ve played with PIL. If there’s a programmer who judges us only by what we’ve done in the past or who we’ve played with, they should be replaced whether they like us or not. Fortunately, in an age where CD’s and digital remastering are requisite to airplay, 54-40 aren’t about to sacrifice their essential rawness. Drums pop like you’ve just had your ears boxed, guitars and vocals are stripped down to an appealing grittiness, and despite the odd trumpet thrown in to worth while, effect , 54-40’s sound remains stark and unembellished. Perhaps

this has something to do with the fact that they produced it them1 selves. “Producin& a record involves. many things it’s a technical transfer of ideas onto tape, right? One thing we know how to do as a band is point and say “yes” or “no” to something we hear. I mean, it was a conscious effort on this album to make a guitar-oriented album. The general feel that comes but of the speakers has to be something we identify with. “Our intention has always been direct. You know, if a song’s good, we thinks it’s best to do it with a rock ‘n’ roll combo attitude; nothing special, nothing great, just up front. Plus, we don’t believe in squeaky clean productions that much a) because we can’t do it and b) you know, it doesn’t make any sense to us.” 54-40’s attitudes toward production carry over into their lyrical approach. Their songs get straight to the point, and while they aren’t clumsily phrased, they retain the feeling of the moment when emotion is strongest, when you’re tonguetied and can never find the exact words you want. “The lyrics generally aren’t meant to give it away completely, right? They’re supposed to make you think and I think the primary word here is the attitude. Whether it’s through directness or ambiguity, I think our attitude is always pretty, clear. Special thanks to WEA for supplying the preceding interview.

Real rock ‘n’roll hits town by Don

Kudo staff If the Bombshelter music on Wednesday nights is called rock ‘n’ roll, then the music at Level 21 October 23 would have to be considered maximum rock ‘n’ roll. The bands October Crisis and ‘63 Monroe endured numerous minor equipment mishaps (broken strings, toppled PA stacks), but in the true spirit of rock ‘n’ roll played on and played hard. Headliners October Crisis are a band in transition. Their show last week was a marked improvement over their engagement with D.O.A. in Guelph earlier this month. A year ago, the band appeared on the Psyche Industry compilation, It Came From The Pit, and apparently there had been talk about catching with the Fringe Label (Breeding Ground, recently signed U.I.C, Canadian distributors of Black Flag and others). Since then October Crisis has gained a new lead singer and lost a guitarist, and are now getting back to form. Their form consists of a driving guitar sound that is not merely wind ‘em up thrash.

Rugby season ends in a-way tie,

team enters semi-final by Mike Brown Imprint staff Last weekend the Varsity Rugby Warriors finished the r begular season in a three-way tie for first nlace. The Warrior’s 5-2 rer cord earned them a place in the playoffs which begin tomorrow (Sat.]. Waterloo takes on Queen’s in first round action at 12:30 on Columbia field. McMaster meets Guelph in other semi-final action this weekend as well. The winning teams from both of this weekend’s games will square off against one another next weekend in the O.U.A.A. championships. Waterloo won the championship last year by defeating the Western Mustangs after 5 overtime periods of play. Last weekend’s win over Western ranked the Warriors in second place among the other teams in the three-way tie.

Queen’s is ranked third while MeMaster, who handed down Waterloo’s only two defeats all - --_ season is ranked first. Harold Godwin opened the scoring for the Warriors last weekend with a penalty kick to bring Waterloo short of Western by only three points at the end of the half. On a back row play spearheaded by Paul Toon, Mark Schneider was able to get the ball out to fly half Hayden Bel,grave who took it in for the try. Harold Godwin split the posts again with a three point penalty kick adding to the Western scoring defecit. Under heavy pressure from Malcolm Gilchrist and Adam Chamberlain a Western backfield player put a shanked kick right into the hands of Waterloo winger Mike Fischer. Fischer ran the try in to increase the Waterloo lead to 14-6.

Pre-season warm-up , sees skiers at,UW The UW Nordic ski team held a roller ski race around Ring Road October 26. Sixty-seven skiers from around Southern Ontario attended the event, with astrong contingent coming from the Kitchener-Waterloo area. The race was divided into various age categories to cater to skiers in their early teens on through to those in their fifties. Mac Hicox of Toronto put in the fastest ski of the day on his way to winning the master men’s category. Hicox covered the 14 kilometre course in 26 minutes, 34 seconds. Jamie Ans of Barrie captured the senior men’s title, while Paula Droog of Western earned the senior women’s championship. Tina Treves of Toronto

won the master women’s event. Toronto’s Ron Howden and Jack Cook of Orangeville finished in s dead tie to end a skate for skate battle for first place in the junior men’s contest. Sue Palmer of McMaster won the junior women’s category. Wilson Minaar of the Halton Nordic club won the junior boy’s race and Jenny Burgin of St. Mary’s enjoyed top honours in the juvenile categories. The fastest local skier was UW’s Jack Simpson. After a fall which gave severe burns to his lower arm, Simpson regained his form to take second nlace in the senior men’s race with a 14 kilometre time of 31:38. Fiona Griffiths, also of UW, was another local skier to place with third spot in the junior women’s event.

Warriors settle for tie as soccer season ends by Tim Walker Imprint staff The Soccer Warriors played their last game of the season October 26- in St. Catharines against the Brock Badgers. After 90 minutes the score was deadlocked at l-l. The final result was a disappointment for the Warriors as they had opened the scoring. The first half was scoreless and the play was very even. Coach Cooper had decided before the game to play all the departing players and it took the team some time to settle into a groove. During the unsettled period the Warriors had a few close calls in front of their net. They were the result of a misunderstanding between the keeper and his fullbacks about who should be responsible for loose balls.

Near the end of Brock had the chance when an struck the outside

the first half best scoring 18-yard drive of the post.

The Warriors came out strong in the second half. Both Mike Houston and Frank Avila had shots ring off the woodwork. Finally at the 25-minute mark Gary Cooper redirected a Scott Robinson shot to open the scoring for Waterloo. However, 10 minutes later a Badger midfielder slipped his Waterloo marker and scored on a breakaway. Five minutes from the end, the goalkeeper was called upon to save a point blank drive to preserve the tie. As usual, the Warriors played better than their opposition but were unable to hold on for full points. ’

The Athena soccer team finished off their season last week in style with a one tie and one win. The team played host to Brock October 22. The Athena presence was felt throughout the game but, failing to capitalize on numerous ties, they were forced to settle with a O-O tie. Brock on the other hand stayed away from offensive play opting instead for a defensive strategy of clean and chase. The Athena’s last game of the

playoffs Before the game ended, Western managed to cross Waterloo’s try line on a massive - overlap. - The intensity was at a high after the try which brought Western within four points of Waterloo. The Western effort fell short however, the game ending whistle blew shortly after their conversion made the final score 14-12 for the Warriors. The second team ended their season last Saturday against the ‘Stangs visiting second team. The game was well played by the Warriors but unfortunately they were under represented on the score board. The team is to be congratulated for their constant effort all season. Their presence was and continues to be a motivator for the first team. Fan support would be appreciated in Saturday’s game against Queen’s, The kick-off is tentatively scheduled for 12:30.

season produced their first win of the year as they outplayed Laurier last Saturday. This was undoubtedly their best game of the season as they played good offensive soccer with long balls down the wings and strong offensive attacks: Waterloo captain Linda Hatjes scored with a header off a corner kick from Wendy Smith and the Athenas simply held on from there. Jill Salmon played strong defense clearing much of Laurier’s ball leaving them with few scor-

ing chances. The game ended 1-O for Waterloo. The team played effectively with special mention going to Wendy Smith, Jill Salmon, Linda Hartjes and Ellen Veysey for their excellent performances. The team record of l-6-3 was not indicative of the calibre of play as injuries played a major role this year with seven players out of the lineup for the start of the season. Hopefully the performance at the close of the season is indicative of things to come in the 87-88 season.

Hockey VVarriors come up big with 2 weekend wins by Refton Blair Imprint staff The hockey Warriors had two big wins this past weekend, edging Guelph 6-5 and pummelling the Badgers of Brock 6-2. Sunday’s game at the Columbia Ice Field was a combination of superior offensive execution and hard, aggressive defense. Centre Dan Magwood wasted no time in getting the Warriors on the scoreboard with a red light at the 32 second mark of the first period. Later in the first, with Brock forward Darren Wright cooling-out a slashing minor, the Badgers’ Steve Wasylyszyn sailed past the surprised Warriors defence and chalked-up a short-handed tally at 13:01. Just three minutes later, sophomore Steve Linesman (formerly of the Washington Capitol organization) took a pass on the left wing and slid the puck under the Badger netminder to regain the Warrior lead 2-1. Domination was the key word for the second period. With another early goal, this time courtesy Chris Clover, Waterloo increased its lead to 3-1. Then Warrior winger Todd Coulter went to work entertaining the audience and hypnotizing Badger defense with his skating skills while setting up two power-play goals. The first scored by defenseman Tom Allen at 7:31 while the second one was added

by Chris Glover at 1:33, Waterloo managed to hold the upper hand during the third per riod thanks to the outstanding goaltending of Mike Bishop. Bishop made save after save, staving off Brock’s waves of attack. Brock scored their second goal of the game when Scott Btlair and scooped up a rebound slapped ‘er by the sprawling Bishop at 12:49. It took the Warriors less than three minutes to retaliate. While on a two man advantage power-play Jamie Mckee blasted a quick slap shot making it 6-2. For the last nine minutes the Warriors went into a

defensive shell and hung on for the win. All considered, the Warriors put on a solid performance. Their penalty killing was supreme and their marksmanship proved to be impeccable, scoring on six of their 30 shots on goal. As promised by coach Don Mckee, the Warriors did provide lively entertainment displaying both skill and sportsmanship. This weekend, the Warriors play two home games: tonight it’s the Royal Military College and Sunday afternoon at 2:30 the Western Mustangs are in town.. . don’t miss ‘em!

Team plays true to coach’s predictions As per coach Mckee’s predictions the Hockey Warriors played an exciting brand of hockey to gain a victory over Guelph last week. The pre-season tournaments and long hours of practice seem to be paying off as the team played a tight brand of hockey to beat Guelph 6-5. A strong performance by goalie Mike Bishop in the first hour of play coupled with some excellent offensive drives to the net resulted in a 5-2 lead for the Warriors. Guelph, however managed to capitalize on the Warriors breakdown in concentration in the third period to bring the score within one. But the strong offensive play by Linseman with 3 goals and one assist and the attacking style of the Girardi, Ellicott and Wagner proved to be too much for a defensive Guelph team. The Warriors play tonight at 8 and Sunday at 2:30 come out and enjoy what promises to be a Waterloo contender.

by Walter Hayes The Warrior Volleyball team travelled to London October 25 to participate in the East-West challenge. In their first match the Warriors played York in what proved to be a study in errors. The Warriors won the first two games 15-12 and 15-3 but lost the next two due to sloppy play. Waterloo rallied and hammered York 15-3 in the fifth and deciding game due in part to the fine play of Brian Damman. The 6'6" sophomore finished the match with nine kills from 13 sets. The win against York paved the way to the finals against the U of T Blues, an experienced squad with a lineup of fine players. The humble Warriors armed with_. a sense of quiet confidence

pulled off a shocking upset in the first game playing 45 minutes to win 18-16. The Warriors repeated the performance winning the next game 15-7 much to the surprise of the many in attendance. .With a lead in the third game and the match almost over the Warriors passing lapsed and U of T took advantage winning the third and fourth games. The decisive fifth game saw poor passing on the part of the Warriors and a definite lack of intensity while the Toronto team rallied to win 15-9. The Warriors proved themselves to be a competitive force this season and a definite prospect for the OUAA championships. The first Warrior home game is tonight in the PAC against Laurier.

by Refton Blair Imprint staff The Warriors lost to Windsor 49-14 last Saturday. Windsor won by scoring 32 points in the second half after Waterloo blew an early 13-0 lead. Waterloo received the kick-off but after failing to gain the first down on a third and one play at their own 10 turned the ball over to Windsor. However, Blair Greenly stepped in front of a Windsor pass and proceeded to run it to the forty five yard line. Warriors’ quarterback Mike Wright then went to work with a 65 yard touchdown reception to freshmen Richard Chen, giving the Warriors a seven to nothing lead with less than two minutes gone. On the next offensive series Windsor fumbled and lost the football at their own 37 yard line. A quick pass to wide receiver Chris Maeker set up a Tim Mitchell rushing touchdown. The Warriors misplayed the con-

it all leaving the only 10 min-

Windsor’s first points of the game came on a successful field goal attempt later in the quarter they then went on to score 46 straight points. Waterloo’s offense then stopped moving the ball and the defense quite simply fell apart allowing Windsor to dominate the remainder of the game. They scored on all three of their possessions in the third quarter and prevented any Warrior atempts at a first down in the second half. Despite the overall let down by the Warriors defensive back Larry Vaughn played well achieving no less than five solo tackles two of them saving Windsor touchdowns. The season is over (sigh), not quite as disappointing as the last but nevertheless it is becoming increasingly difficult to look with hope to the future.

Waterloo pair captures title in OWIAA tennis finals The finals in OWIAA tennis, held this past weekend saw Queen’s, Western, Waterloo and MacMaster battling ‘for positions one through four.

Flag football by Angela Bunn Campus Ret Despite this season’s incredible rainfall, the men’s flag football has survived. Halfway through the season all games had to be moved to Columbia Field because the Village Green was rained out. But that didn’t dampen anyone’s spirit. There was a great deal of great competition and some really close races for first place in each division.

In the A division, eight men took part in a double participation draw. In the final, Paul Tart and Girish Puri battled in a three set thriller. Paul won the entertaining final 6-4, 1-6, 6-4.

While many students are getting their costumes in order and trotting merrily from door to door tonight, gathering candy apples and Tootsie Rolls, the Warrior and Athena cross country teams will be locked in their hotel rooms in Kingston, preparing for Saturday’s OUAA/OWIAA cross country championships. The Warriors, ranked third in the nation, will be led by Andy Krucker, OUAA’s 5,000-metre gold medalist. A 4B mechanical engineer, Andy missed last season due to injuries and is in his last season of eligibility. Harvey Mitro, Waterloo’s top man at last year’s championship and last week’s male Athlete of the Week, is back and looking fit. Also returning are Kevin Shields and Tim Rose, both in the top 20 last year, and Tim Collins. Debuting this year are the injury-prone Nick Cipp and last year’s alternate Chris Rogers. Shamir Jamal is this year’s alternate. The Athenas, who were supposed to be rebuilding this season, have been surprisingly competitive. Prior to last week, they were ranked ninth. Equally surprising has been the performance of rookie Jill Francis, last week’s female Athlete of the Week. Jill’s presence, had a positive impact on the team from her first workout here, and she has led the Athenas in all her races this season. Urlike Zugelder, in her final competitive season for the Athenas, is also in her best form, as witnessed by her top 10 placing twice this season. Two other returnees are Kelly Boulding, a member of Canada’s national orienteering team, and Kilmeny Beimler. For the majori-

for

ty of the team, however, tomorrow will be their first OWIAA championship. Cathy Bauer and Marielle Rowan are former alternates, while Maggie Stewart is in her first year at Waterloo. This year’s alternate is Wendy Huismans. The top two teams in each race Saturday qualify for the CIAU championships at Western next weekend: As the host, Western gets an automatic bye. If Western is one of the-first two teams, a wildcard school will be selected from across the country to compete. The Athenas, ranked fourth in the province behind Toronto, Western and Queen’s, must upset one of the top three to qualify. The Warriors, ranked behind Ottawa and Western, are hoping to knock off Western and merit automatic selection. To rest up for the big meet, most of the championship athletes did not race last weekend at the Laurier Invitational in Waterloo Park. Only Kelly Boulding and Wendy Huismans competed. Kelly was fourth and Wendy finished in 12th, as they teamed up with Jodi. Dorfman in 15th to place third behind U of T, who were led by winner Karen DunStan. Tom Sawyer was Waterloo’s top guy., finishing 11th in his last cross country race as a Warrior. Although he was in great early-season shape, Tom has been hampered by injuries this year. These led to his narrowly missin-g inclusion on the team in his last season of eligibility. Also finishing off their seasons were Dwight Caldwell, 31st, Kevin Shoom, 46th, Pete Mulvihill, 51st, and Stefan Steiner in 56th. The team title was won by Western. Waterloo placed sixth.

Athenas. The Hawks had already defeated highly regarded MacMaster, so a defeat at the hands of the Waterloo would set the tone for the OWIAA West. The Athenas took on an early lead in the first half, utilizing their three quarter court presses ,to force many Laurier turnovers. Their transition game worked well. McCulla, Windle, and Poag were especially effective at the front end of the Athena’s l-2-1-1 zone press. How’ever, Laurier’s rebounding advantage helped keep them within eight points. for the majority of the first half. The shorter Athena’s also committed many fouls on Laurier layups after their press was broken. Twelve points scored by Lueg and 10 by Windle helped the Athena’s hold their lead. However, a series of questionable calls by the officials allowed the Lady Hawks to climb within one point at the half and set the stage for an exciting second half of basket ball. The second half featured steady play from both teams. The Athenas continued to use their pressing defenses, however Laurier managed to control the ball very well to set up their half court game. A couple of key jumpers by Poag, some quiet scoring by Bowering, a mesmerizing one-handed, one-footed fallaway set shot by Lueg and an aggressive but poised McCulla led to the eventual Lady Hawk collapse. The -Athena’s steadily built up a lead and never let up defeating Laurier 65-53 to win the championship. Lueg had an excellent offensive game with 20 points for Waterloo. The always steady Poag had 11 points with Bowering, Windle and McCulla each netting 10. Rookie point guard McCulla was the surprise player of the tournament, exhibiting a poise usually seen only in senior players earned her a well deserved MVP of the tournament. Poag and Lueg also received AllStar selections The Athenas have played impressively so far this season and are showing promise as a team to be reckoned with at the Ontario level. The Athena’s are off to Carleton for a tournament this weekend and have an exhibition game November 5 at the PAC.
