Campus-wide The environmental and financial benefits of recycling waste paper are the focus of a campus-wide paper drive by the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group. There are many things the public takes for granted without giving them much thought. ‘i-hings like paper, for instance. Paper is a product of forests and energy, both of which are valuable and diminishing resources. The University of Waterloo buys 12 million sheets of computer paper each year. On average, a student can collect more than half a pound of paper each day. If there are 16,000 students at the university, imagine how much paper is circulating around campus. What happens to all this paper? Usually, paper is used once then deposited into the garbage. It is then transferred to landfill sites, which take up valuable land, or it is incinerated, which creates air pollution. But such practice is wasteful and unnecessary. Much of the paper we use can be recycled and used again. When paper is recycled it provides manv benefits. It reduces the need for wood pulp, thereby conserving valuable forest resources Each ton of recycled paper saves 17 trees. It

The written comments are anonymous unsigned and should be for the personal attention of the instructor not the students, said J.G. Kalbfleisch, dean of math. He said he would not like to see the comments made available to students. Dean of Arts Robin Banks said the vital thing is that the professor gets feedback Given the moth&ion of professors, when that happens they will work hard to improve. He said he is not sure the kind of information that comes out of the questionnaire is useful to students but it can be useful to professors. Currently, course evaluations for engineering, math, arts, and science are standardized by faculty, while evaluations for environmental studies and HKLS can vary from department to department. Generally, the course evaluations -for each of the four main faculties consist of two parts - an objective part filled out using computer cards and a subjective section of students comments. In all cases, the student’s comments are confidential and the professor does not gain access to the evaluations until final marks are submitted. In some faculties, such as math, the student comments are seen only by the _professor while in faculties such as arts, it varies from department to department, and in science the dean and the chairman of the department read the comments.

the request of Fed committee by Arka Roy Imprint Staff

/ UW students are encouraged to show their support for Rick Hansen when he wheels down Ring Road later this term. Thanks to the efforts of UWs Man in Motion committee, the Man in Motion World’ Tour will pass through this campus although it was not on the original itinerary. The committee will generate the publicity for the tour and-organize funh-raising events. So far, these include a basketball game and a shirt sale. Shane Carmicheal, director of the

Feds’ Athletics Commission and cochairperson of the committee, says that the committee’s goals are threefold. The first is to increase public awareness of the problems faced by disabled people, as well as their potential. The second is to raise money for spinal cord research. The third is to enhance UWs image. Events are being co-ordinated with the student societies, the local high schools, the residences, the clubs and WLU. One group that has been particularly actice is the REC 350 class taught by Prof. Adrienne Gilbert. Gilbert is the Kitchener-Waterloo contact for the Man in Motion

It took less than a second for the course of Rick Hansen’s life to change drastically. He was 15 yearsold, in the back of a pick-up truck returning from a fishing trip when suddenly the driver lost control and _ the truck overturned. The driver was thrown clear, but Hansen ended up underneath. He still remembers hearing the sound of his back breaking, “the sickening crunch”. Hansen had been-a premiere athlete. The reality of his new condition, of being confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, was devastating. It took years for him to accept the fact

he would never again be able to use his legs. “It was just a matter of understanding that life could go on, that it was not the end of the world . . . that I could still pursue what is in my heart,” he said in a recent interview. Last week, Hansen reached another stage in the pursuit of that which is in his heart - his dream of finding a cure to spinal cord damage. On November 2, he rolled into Toronto after completing more than 32,000 km (20,000 miles) of his Man in Motion world tour. Hansen believes that he is at a crucial point in his campaign because this area of the country has the highest concentration of people and he

hopes that the contributions will refleet that. Hansen’s efforts have raise; more than $2.5 million in Canada. He hopes to raise at least $10 million. This has researchers optimistic. Unlike scientists involved in cancer research, doctors working on spinal cord research take comfort in the fact they need only find the cure, not the cause. Many doctors believe a cure is near. They say the main problem is not the lack of technology, but the lack of funds. Hansen is scheduled to visit the Kitchener-Waterloo area early next month.

World Tour. Carmicheal emphasized that’ the committee would like to delegate as much responsibility as possible to the societies. In fact, those interested in volunteering ,in any capacity should approach their society. The societies themselves need people to take the initiative and put forth new ideas. Hansen is on the last leg of his two-year global excursion. Canada is the last of the 33 countries he has wheeled throuqh. He is med to arrive in Vanc&ver in the’spring of 1987 after having navigated 40,073 km, the actual circumference of the globe.

Music shouldtatike pr.ecedence y mot fashion . by Pete Lawson ~ ’ Imprint staff Despite’ a great show by i)lC on Friday night (Nov. 7), the ’ audience (the majority anyway) showed little reaction to the band’s performance. A group, who plays what was once considered punk (or maximum rock ‘n’ roll or whatever) but did not fuss with the horrific haircuts and the fashionable black garb, . was spurned by an audience full of artistic haircuts and subculture wear. This reaction is reminiscent of the current verbal battles between the progressive musicalelitists and the time-warpedrock ‘n’ rollers here on campus. Is it the music that these people are defending or is it the fashion? / am this kind of person, who has these past experiences, who looks like this, knows people like me and listens to this type of music. Give me the type of music which sounds like J look. A backward rock ‘n’ roller would hate to dance to Disco (or Funk, or Go-Go or Chicago House) because it might make the appearance of John Travotts (or worse Micheal Jackson). An avant-gardist (what a handle) would be repulsed to dance to some old rock ‘n’ roll, it might compromise the haircut (or look like Mick Jagger). What would it be like if cowpunks in bluejeans and boots were out for an evening of funk, or hipsters in leathers or jock wear were out stompin’ at thehoe-down. Is it possible?

Slzff Meeting

- noon Friday

l!&!utorial Board Meeting M-Y, 5 P=@

Last week I sat in on a Religious Studies 221 lecture - a course on sects, cults and new religious movements offered at Conrad Grebel -to hear a guest speaker; Ian Haworth, from the Council On Mind Abuse (COMA). The presentation started with Ian Haworth describing his involvement with a cult and his eventual deprogramming. His experience started by attending a simple meeting at which he decided to enroll in a program to help him quit smoking. Having attended an Ending Hunger Briefing the previous week, I was struck by the similarity between several techniques l’an Haworth described as being used by cults and the way - in which Professor John Hotson conducted Ending Hunger, Briefings. Some of the techniques mentioned by Haworth included discouraging questions from the group because of time pressures, insisting that participants follow simple rules, pointing out the shortcomings of the outside world and other groups, and ensuring that there are more members of the cult at the initial meetings than new members. When I arrived at the Ending Hunger Briefing with some other people, we were told to sit on the sofas around the speaker. We were discouraged from sitting at the back and from wandering around. Hotson specifically asked ) someone to join the group on the sofa. We were then given name tags and told to introduce ourselves and say why we were there. As the briefing got underway people in the group had questions. When the questions were asked, Hotson gave very superficial answers reciting phrases and generally skirting around the issue. His constantexcuse was lack of time,- lack of time. The briefing has already been shortened he kept reminding us - it was important that we stay on schedule. The Ending Hunger Briefing-involves several sections. Participating in this briefing means following along with pamphlets and other information sheets provided by the leader. Hotson continually insisted w%e follow along and participate in all aspects of the briefing. At one point, we were told to close our eyes while he read a story on what it was like to be poor and hungry. We were then told to turn to the per-

son next to us and share our experience and our feelings about the reading. Since’there was no one sitting next to me, i thought I was off the hook. But no. Hotson had made use of another technique often employed by cults that of having people who have already become members attend the briefing. Conveniently, one of the members was able to “share experiences” with me. Although Hotson did not have more Hunger Project members than new guests, had not seven of the eleven people there been Imprint staff members, the only nonLgroup member would have easily been outnumbered. Professor Hotson ensured that the shortcomings of the outside world and other groups’ was pointed out by devoting an entire section of the briefing to myths about hunger and denouncing these so-called myths. Never once did he mention obvious issues such as politics being factors preventing the end of hunger. Fortuna?ely, I attended this briefing with many other people - people with critical minds who had the sense not to be taken in. Even so, I couldn’t help but get caught up in what Hotson was saying. After all, ending hunger is a good thing and it’s hard to be present at a meeting outlining how hunger can be ended with a critical mind because what is there to be critical of - we all want to end hunger.. Having had Hotson for a first-year economics course and having been #subjected to the Ending Hunger Briefing in class I remember my objections were that teaching hunger was poor use of class time, being asked by a professor to sign up with The Hunger Project was unfair, and there was too little time spent on macroeconomics,. After learning more information about The Hunger Project and its questionable connections and similarities with so-called cults, I am convinced Hotson should not be allowed to teach about hunger in the classroom. Yes the topic of world hunger is a macroeconomic issue. However, Hotson, with his controversial connectio.ns to The Hunger Project should not be the one to teach it. Economics students should go to Hotson’s class with a critical mind. Even though ending hunger is a good thing, the organization Hotson is associated with is not. If the administration won’t do anything about him, it’s up to ’ students look after themselves. Be careful.

Gays should seek to 0vercom.e tiea To the editor, This is a response to “A Different Light” (imprint, Nov. 7th). The article, by Chris Gerrard (a pseudonym) was a not so subtle plea for the total acceptance of homosex, uality. In the article, Chris deshe has tribes the “heartache” suffered in coming to terms with what he is doing. Toward the end of the article he generously doles out advice, and wants us to ask for more. There are a few things that need to be said about this article. Firstly, I am saddened and disappointed that Chris gave up in his efforts to escape the trap he is in. After succumbing to his weakness he will undoubtedly find it harder to accept his responsibility

toward self-improvement, a responsibility inherent in belonging to society. Secondly, I am not c,onvinced that someone burdened with such a large unsolved problem, should be trying to advise those standing on the precipice of confusion; nor should one imply the existence of a magical road to happiness.Recently I have discussed this topic with a certain Church College Chaplain, who has lent his compassionat.e soul to many people in Chris’s’position. Contrary to the picture Chris painfs, this chaplain has not yet noticed a positive correlation of “happiness” with these peopleIs acceptance of homosexuality in themselves.

My third and final topic is a point that consistently comes up in this series of articles. In this article Chris makes reference to “the lot of very unkind and closed minded people out there.” It is not clear whether he is referring to a large number of truly uncompassionate, callous souls, or to the large number of people who condemn the homosexual act. I might stress that condemning some-

thing that is wrong is considerably more compassionate than accepting it (infinite analogies), and that such an attitude requires only a rejection of actions, not persons. The refusal to accept homosexuality as being good demonstrates a belief in a solution to this problem, a solution to which there can be no compromise. I am suggesting that the only road to happiness is that which,

strives to overcome one’s weakness and confusion. This is probably a more difficult journey, and perhaps a more painful one, but it. is the only one with a worthwhile destination. I invite Chris to look for the real road to happiness. Chances are excellent, if he looks hard enough, he will find this and more in the church. Jim Mullen ’ 3BEE

Supply and ,demand should dictate who gets pizza outlet To the editor, In the recent attempt by the Village One council to obtain a pizzeria within the residence, too much concern has been focussed on the supplier and not the consumer. In a -classic example of mass stupidity, over 94 per cent of VI residents signed a petition requesting that San Francesco Pizza be allowed to open an outlet above the main dining hall. No one considered that another pizzeria, given the opportunity, could submit a better offer. The reason for this action was an effort to stop food services from operating at this tocation. Most villagers feared the quality of a Go pizza outlet would be that of the pizza Deluxe served iegularly as part of the meal plan. The law of supply and demand dictates that whoever (if anyone) re-opens the VI pizza shop must provide a high quality product at a reasonable price if they wish to be prosperous. Otherwise, villagers would continue to order pizza from off-campus.

Pause to Remember

To the editor, I fihd it unfortunate and disgraceful that the university administration makes no effort to recbgnize or commemorate No‘vember 11, Remembrance day. ‘Many of today’s generation of university students, including myself, have greatly been affected by both world wars, or in the case of some others, by wars that have taken place since 1945. For those who were not directly affected, they should be grateful and pay respect to those vi/ho fought and died enabling the Western World to be free. In an area as rich in European culture and heritage as Waterloo County, the history of past world wars is in greater evidence than in other parts of Southern Ontario. It would be respectful to commemorate the past of many of the local residents. At the University of Guelph, students are let out of class at lo:30 every Nov. 11 in orderto have the option of attending the memorial service held on campus at War Memorial Hall. Waterloo would benefit byfollowing this type of example. In the mass hustle and bustle of high tension, competitive academics at Waterloo, it would do us all some good to have a few minutes once a year to reflect and pay respect in silence to the tragi’c war time events of the past. Christopher Duschenes, 4th yr. E.S.

It now appears that the VI council and food services may work out a deal. It has been suggested thtit the supplier be forced to adhere to given restriction to better serve the villagers. However, by imposing restriction such as student determined prices, wage levels, and hours of operation, villagers wobld be neglecting themselves as consumers. Such controls would undoubtedly result in higher operating costs; thus forc-

ing the operation to lower quality and/or service. As a direct effect of this, the suppliers’ prosperity would be drastically reduced causing them to cease operations. By allowing the pizzeria to function freely, Village residents will stand the best chance of receiving good value for their pizza dollar!!

Nicaraguan To the editor, .The Tools for Peace organizers in Nicaragua were asked by the Sandino Foundation (an umbrella group representing trade unions, women’s groups and the ministries, of health and education, among others) to concentrate their efforts in Canada on collecting “priority items”. The items so identified were hand tools, blankets, medical supplies such as bandages and antiseptic, pencils and paper, bo.lts of cloth and sanitary napkins. Of these items, it seemed natural that the Women’s Centre should concentrate on collecting sanitary napkins.

Let’s talk about . . . Ennui by Tom

“‘E’ is for Ernie,-who died of ennui” - so says Richard Gorey’s A Child’s Book of Letters I had two roommates in college who entered “the big sleep:‘, one at exam time, the other year round - sleeping 16-l 8 hours a day, hot getting up for classes or meals or visitors - so I’m not too surprised when I find UW students sleeping round the clock. I try to determine which kind of ennui afflicts them. There are several kinds, not all of them fatal. There is the ennui of the student sitting in the classroom, yawning as he half listens to the droning of the professor. The novelist Flaubert has described it in his Sentimental Education: “Three hundred bare-headed young people filled a lecture hall in which an old man, in a red robe, was holding forth with a monotonous voice; pens were scratching on paper. In this room he recognized again the dusty smell of classes, the same desk, the same ennui.“This type of boredom, which the French call “desoeuvrement”, is a temporary state dependent on external circumstances. Its cure is the end of the lecture. Not so the next type, which may be called extended or timeless desoeuvrement. It is the case of the bored housewife, or the office worker with little to do except wait for his pension, or the bored pensioner - wh’etherat home in his apartment or in his camper-van (perhaps together with the bored housewife). This type of boredom is the painful tension between the need for mental activity and the lack of ‘stimulation. All feeble attempts to break out of it fail. A psychiatrist is usually consulted, and a hobby prescribed. Then there is the boredom that accompanies the performance of routine and meaningless labour. Regular students are susceptible to monotony in summer, and co-op students every four months. In certain climes at recurring times, such as in the Arctic in winter, there is a specialized type of ennui which the anthropologist Durkheim in his study Suicide termed “anomie”. It involves the total loss of the will to live and is usually accompanied by self-imposed starvation. The elderly often fall into anomie, and people without hope. Still, there is a certain logic to it, as there is to desoeuvrement and monotony. But there is no logic to true Ennui. Here is novelist Andre Gide’s description of it: “When I found myself alone in my room that evening, an intolerable anguish seized me, body and soul; my ennui almost turned into fear. 4 waII of rain separated me from the rest of the world, far from any passion, far from life. It enclosed me in a gray nightmare, among strange beings, cold blooded and colourless, whose hearts had ceased beating long ago.” What are the principal characteristics of ennui? First, it is a state that affects both body and soul, though its origins are to be found in the soul. Flaubert calls it “the leprosy of the soul”. Second, ennui is independent of external circumstances; it has nothing to do with the weather. Third, it is also independent of our will; when afflicted by ennui we feel helpless. Finally, ennui is characterized by estrangement. The world seems emptied of significance, and everything is seen as if filtered through a screen. It is a sensation very similar to that of watching a television programme with the sound turned off. Ennui is the immediate consequence of’an encounter with nothingness. Schizophrenics, supermen, artists, saints, and students - these are the high-risk categories for ennui? As the character in Repo Man said: “The more you drjve, the less you know.” So, also, the more you think, or study, the more susceptible you are to ennui. There are ways out, back, and around ennui. There are those who hqve been there, and returned. .

In the past -20 years, biotechnology advances have installed the use of herbicides, fungicides and pesticides to protect the plants and improve crop yield. Plant diseases and pests practically vanished, and as they did so, other diseases and pests would surface for which a new chemical would soon be invented to quench. Each subsequent chemical would wear out its welcome as the diseases and pests, through “survival of the fittest”, would overcome the chemical’s claim to fame.

Pesticides used in the past few years, especially 2,4-D, a herbicide with similar effects to DDT, are still present in the environment. These very stable compounds are taken up into plants, and persist in our fat as well as in the fat of animals. We obtain these chemicals through pla,nt mitter consumption, as well as through animal fat. However, concentrations in animal fat are shown to be 10 to 12 times greater than concentrations in plant sources. More than half of the antibiotics administered in

1985 in the U.S. and Canada were given to livestock. This has b’een going on for more than 1Oyears now, and since then, human penicillin, ampicillin and tetracyline immunities have increased 50 per cent. This means we are becoming immune to antibiotics by obtaining small dosages over long periods of time. When we need antibiotics to fight infections, they will be less effective, and often not effective at all, in 50 per cent of the population. New antibiotics must quickly be developed to relieve this primarily western-world dilemma. Pregnant women are constantly advised not to lose weight while pregnant. This is because weight loss uses up stored fat for energy. This fat usage also releases the high concentration of stored chemicals and antibiotics to the mother’s system, and in turn to the/baby’s system. We can avoid many pesticides and herbicides by using products claimed to be organically grown, but there are few other ways to avoid them.Few conclusive studies have determined what long-term effects will occur. But who really wants to know that anyway . . . isn’t ignorance supposed to be bliss?

Class remembers,RW. To the editor, On Sunday, Nov. 2, Father Mike Cundari, principal of St. Jerome’s High School in Kitchener, was killed in a car accident. For thousands of people in the K-W area, including students at UW_ and.._ WLU, the upcoming weeks will bring deep mourning and sadness. With his own special style, Father Mike touched us all in an unforgettable way: How Grey Will Seem That River Blue A stalwart frame with Grace ingrained; Of disciples first; who touched Both young and old with passioned tone And simple verbs, that made Him

seem An earthly sort, that all could hear And celebrate.

Pretension’s meaning he knew not; Lest collar white, on linens black, Endearing qniles, handshakes strong, oratory plain yet richly strung, Solicited high, but spoken low Could make this trait this man’s bedmate. Where are you tens, you thousands, more; That stood in flannel blue and grey and heard this Chief of Lions roar His Father’s message? You Jerries, you aren’t greyless now, That watched him grasp that stitched orb Imploring flankers, halfbacks, ends, To toe the centre’s precious line.

How dark those halls must be this.. day! . Announcements made with mikeless mike Will mournings bring each morning. How grey will seem that rive blue, That flowed by office main, By ill-parked cars, by kilted waists, To see his face take its proud place On God’s high altar. Oh . lord on High, do they ._.abound, I I these servants yours, witn neavenly vows, And human hearts, that this your son, In his blue flock, should be struck down? This can’t be true. Few hands as his Did touch the sou!; few souls knew not His gentle hand, that caused to stir In love-starved mouths The bread of Love and Light.

No sleepi lost over musk rights issue To the editor, “Good communication should be as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.” I can’t exactly say I’ve been losing any sleep over the articles which have been written regarding the type of music that should or should not be played at Fed Hall, but they have sparked enough interest to encourage me to voice my opinion. Need I remind you the Fed Hall

was constructed for all of us, not just those who prefer “progressive m‘usic”. We have all contributed $7.50 toward Fed -Hall (re: tuition fees), so why shouldn’t the-se who enjoy rock ‘n’ roll be entitled to request their music at this facility too? Personally, I enjoy Fed Hall just the way it. is, but that doesn’t m’ean I am unable 10 put the shoe on the other foot. I enjoy this socalled progressive music, but I do not like the attitudes that seem to go along with it. I find it a little

ironic to read such statements as “Fed Hall aspires to represent this university at its most progressive” beneath such headings as “Rock ‘n’ roll no more than banal, insipid trash” (Imprint, Oct. 31). How can one talk of progress and blatantly .degrade other forms df music in the same breath? Progression means an open mind, not “my way is best so stick to it”. Variety is the spice of life, guys, so take off your blinders. There is no absolute be-all or end-all of music

(or anywhere else for that matter) which will please everyone, nor should there be. When and if that day comes, this campus will be a pretty dry place. In the meantime, why is it so impossible for Fed Hall to satisfy other needs which are not being met? One should not be forced to go to just the Bombshelter or just Fed Hall because of predetermined and steadfast entertainment options. Karen Hawker 3A Planning

Self -Assessment:

its importance by the Student

Neanderthal . . . that’s the word Richard Belles, author of best-selling What Colour is Your Parachute, uses to describe the sophistication of the career planning process in North America. How do we decide which career suits us best? Considering the sophistication of our-scientific society, the methods that we employ in choosing a career tend to border on the mystical, the fatalistic, or just plain ineffective: We follow in the direction of what our parents have always wnated us to become . . . seeing as they’re paying for our education. Or a teacher (who really only saw one side of us) throws out a possible career that sounds interesting. Or maybe as a kid watching the seventh rerun of “Emergency” you decided you wanted to be a paramedic. Or maybe you simply chose a certain career because you heard there was big money to be made -in it. David Maister, associate professor. at the Harvard Business School, has as his second law of the job search: “Some people have been too busy “succeeding” to figure out what success means to them. Don’t look for a job until you’ve thought it through.” The problem with the above approaches to choosing a career is that you are allowing someone else to define what success means for you.. . the occupa-

tions the media chooses to glamourize, the values North American society places on you (ie.msney), possibly the unfulfilled dreams of your parents that they want to fulfill through you. None of these are likely to get you a career in which you will find fulfillment and enjoyment. Rather they can lead to a life of longing for five o’clock to roll around. But there is a better way. Exit: Neanderthal. Enter: the Modern Man. You are a unique collection of gifts, talents, special knowledge, and personality. Consequently there is a career or job that suits you better than almost anyone else. The purpose of the career planning process is to help you find out what this career of job is which uses the unique blend of skills and knowledge which you possess. It is discovering what skills you do well and enjoy doing. Hence it follows that a job which uses these skills ought to be enjoyable for you. Hence a life of getting paid for enjoying yourself.

Debunking:

The Sci-Fi Religion: by Robert Day Imprint staff As I pointed out last week, dianetics (“the modern science of mental health”) was the brainchild of the flamboy-’ ant Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, an SF author of some talent. Trying to nail down details on Hubbard’s’early life is a little like trying to catalogue mist, as few of the various histories seem to agree and Hubbard himself has often shown a vivid imagination when it comes to his personal life. As an example, one Scientology publication refers to Hubbard with the title ‘Doctor’, which sounds impressive until one learns that the, doctorate was awarded by the Sequoia University of California, a westcoast educational institution that was, and may still be, a well-known diploma mill where degrees were granted based more on an applicant’s financial status than his intellectual capabilities. The subject of dianetics burst onto the scene with -a teaser in the April 1950 issue of Astounding Science Fiction, with a full issue devoted to it the following month. The public response was overwhelmbook ing, and Hubbard’s became an overnight bestseller. The introduction to the book, by a Dr. J. M. Winter, compares ‘the significance’ of the’discovery of dianetics to “. . . the invention of the wheel, the control of fire, the development of mathematics . . . ‘I In his book, Hubbard postulated that the human mind was partitioned into two parts the analytical mind and the reactive mind. Normally, the analytical mind was fully operational and performed flawlessly. However, when an individual suffered severe trauma or was rendered unconscious, the reactive mind would assume control and begin making an engram, which Hubbard described as “a complete recording, down to the last accurate detail, of every perception present in a moment of partial or full un. consciousness.” This engram would lie dormant until some future time when, after being -“keyed in’: by some incident

that reminded the individual of the original event, it would cause neurotic or psychotic behavior. So far, this sounds relatively harmless - silly, but harmless. Hubbard, however, carried his hypothesis to an absurd extreme by claiming that engrams could be imprinted not just in childhood but while still in the foetal stage, in some cases just days after conception (before the sensory organs had actually developed, but Hubbard doesn’t seem to be bothered by nit-picking details like this). And what misfortunesdoes Hubbard imagine happening to the unlucky mother, resulting in the creation of engrams in the foetus? A quick perusal of . Dianetics supplies several rather grisly examples. On page 70, we read, “A woman is knocked down by a blow . . ._ rendered unconscious . kicked and told she is a faker; she is no good.” On page 401, we find another unfortunate mother (hopefully, not the same one) being beaten, threatened with death, then raped (all by her husband). Hubbard’s favorite cause of prenatal engrams, however, is the dreaded “AA” (attempted abortion), generally performed by the unhappy mother with knitting needles. Hubbard us that warns “attempted abortion is very common” but, apparently, we should not be unduly worried since he assures us that, even though “twenty or thirty abortion attempts are not uncommon in the aberree [foetus] and in every attempt the child could have been pierced through the body or brain”, all we should worry about are the resulting engrams that the foetus will inevitably develop. What a relief. At this point, dianetics supposedly comes to the rescue with a patented, “auditing” process to remove one’s engrams, resulting in a new, improved, whiter, brighter individual. The details of the a,uditing procedure are nicely summarized by. Martin ardner in his book Fads and F allacies in the Name of

Part II Science: “Prompted by the auditor, the patient goes backalong the time track, returning to early engram-forming experiences. As he recounts these experiences, the engrams slowly lose their evil power. Eventually, they are totally erased.” No more neuroses, no more psychoses. In terms of dianetic processing, what we have here is no longer a mere human being, no sirree, what we have is a Clear, the ultimate human being. As Christopher Evans points out in his book Cults of Unreason, Hubbard minces no words when it comes to the superiority of Clears to normal humans. “Their bodies would cease to be a prey to the minor tribulations of life. Clears would not get colds for example. Their eyesight would improve . . . If wounded they would heal abnormally quickly. Even their IQ would be raised.” In addition, all Clears would- be’ blessed with total, perfect memory recall. At first, the honeymoon between Hubbard and the American public went just swimmingly but, before long, there were growing signs of impatience for tangible resu Its. Under increasing pressure, Hubbard finally relented and, in 1950 before a packed house at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A., Hubbard introduced the world’s first Clear, a college’ student named Sonia Bianca. The demonstration was, quite simply, a dismal flop. Bianca was not only incapable of remembering simple formulae from the field of physics (her major at the time), she failed to remember the color of Hubbard’s tie after his back was turned. At this point,’ a large portion of the audience walked out, snickering impolitely (which, of course, makes you wonder about the mental faculties of those who stayed behind). And that should do it for part two. In the third and final chapter, the evolution of Dianetics and the origins of the Church of Scientology. To be continued . . .

Turner is the right choice to lead Liberal party: Copps Federal Liberal leader John Turner will have the support of more than two-thirds of the delegates at the party’s convention later this month, predicts MP Sheila Co‘pps. Speaking at UW November 10, copps (L - Hamilton East) said Turner has the substance to overcome his poor public-speaking abilities. Many in the party recognize these abilities and, in an effort td promote unity, till stand behind their leader, she said. It would be counterproductive, she said, for members of the party to squabble among themselves. The party can better the public’s percep tion of its activities‘by supporting its leader. Traditionally, the Liberals have stuck to their leader. This trend should see Turner gain at. least 2-l support for his bid to retain ‘party

leadership. Copps said the controversy surrounding comments made by Liberal Senator Keith “Rainmaker” Davey has brought Turner’s image into the forefront of issues to be addressed at the Liberal convention set for the end of the month. Despite low public opinion polls, Turner has the ability to lead the par. ty in the next election, she said. Jean Chretien, on the other hand, has the strong public image, but doesn’t have the necessary administrative skills, said Copps. Chretien has been the Liberal most often named as a possible successor to Turner, who has poor personal support although the party is ahead of the Conservatives and the NDP. The response Turner has been getting indicates he i’s considered a viable candidate or regaining power,

said Copps. That there is so much attention paid to his actiohs and comments, as compared to those of NDP leader Ed Broadbent, shows the public is interested. The move to support party unity has bpn particularly noticeable in the Liberal youth wings. The Ontario Young Liberals have come out in support of Turner, as has UWs own Young Liberals club. President Paul Kellam said Monday the 75.member campus group has thrown their support behind Turner in the interest of party unity. The group will be sending two delegates to the convention, set for No. vember 27 to 30. “It’s not good for the party to have a spilt,” said Kellam. “A race like we _had last time (when Turner was named leader) can disillusion many supporters.”

Talking heads gather at UW to discuss the nature of Cognitive Science ence. Although not so named, it came to be known as the day Cognitive Science was born. It may not be “another day the universe changed”, but cognitivists agree that a “bridge was built that has previously been unexamined”. ‘Exactly what this bridge proposed to gap in not entirely clear, even to adherents, but it does propose a development of common endeavors which seek to amalgamate the investigations of different disciplines concerned with how knowledge is represented and expressed in both human and artificial intelligence. The wide-reaching applications of such findings in the way perceptual processes work, and the human interfaces with computers, are already know to us, so for those concerned with cognitive research, the concept of “Cognitive Science” helps to define a domain eminently worth pursuing. The interrelated aspects of the study of cognition and its usefulness to different disciplines is not in doubt, but whether or not it can be legitimately termed a “science” is a controversy still raging at the this time. David R. Olsbn, professor of app-lied psychology at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and co-director of the McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology at the University of Toronto, said Cognitive Science is someting often jocularly referred to as “six disciplines in search ,of a funding agency”. Notwithstanding the soundness of such a statement, the topic has been given serious consideration by philosophers of science and those concerned with what constitutes a science.

by Cadaine Gall On Saturday, ‘November 8 at 10 a.m., the real talking heads entrenched themselves in Hagey Hall and remained there in hot debate and heated discussion the entire day.

Mysterious, even mystical perhaps, these men and women convened to discuss the possibility that they do in fact share something in common, and that this might even be deemed a “science”. It is not surprising, then, that the question of the day at the Cognitive Science as Science Symposium happened to be “Is Cognitive Science Science?’ The idea that there might be such a thing as Cognitive Science is not an entirely new one, as is evidenced by the presence of a timely little red button which simply states “September 11,1956”. On that day 30 years ago, as the legend goes, the famed Noam Chomsky gave a talk about rewrite rules for the representational language to both computer scientists and philosophers at an M.I.T. confer-

It might be concluded that this whole business is merely laughable, or to be poked fun at, but in point of fact, we just may be witnessing the dawn of a new era, not only in the way we perceive things, but with the practical implications to evervone’s dailv .s lives. -

We’re not,” said time was given for follow-up questions or debate. While the Liberals and new Democrats fielded near-full caucuses, with respective leaders John Turner and Ed Broadbent in attendance, the Conse&atives decided to send only Jean Charest, minister of state for youth. * Charest headed a delegation consisting 1mostly of backbenchers and bureaucrats. Other ministers with portfolios relevant to students and youth,! including secretary of state David. Crombie and employment minister Benoit’ Bouchard, declined CFS invitations to hear student concerns. “We’re a little disappointed that other parties were able to bring out more of their caucuses,” CFS chair Tony

McDonald. “We spend less on health and education than most (western) countries - Holland, Italy, England, Ireland - countries with much less. resource wealth than Canada.” De Corneille, the head of a Liberal task force on post-secondary education due to report to this month’s national party convention, said Canadian youth face “a very serious crisis” with high unemployment rates, rising fees, and skyrocketing student aid debt loads. “More Canadians are seeing that education is not a cost, but an investment,” said de Comeille. Although opposition MPs were quick to support the Federation’s causes during caucus meetings, little attention was given to student concerns later in the House of Cornmons.

During question period, McDonald was the only MP to raise any education-related questions. She asked Crombie if the government is considering a solution to rising debt loads. “I’ll be happy to meet with [anyone] to deal with the situation,” Crombie said. Many CFS delegates found the caucus meetings futile. “I thought this was the biggest ass. kiss of all,” said Chris Spteri, a student council vice-president at the University of Ottawa. University of Victoria delegate Keith Piddington described the federation’s performance as“‘very quiet, muted and stodgy”. Piddington said CFS made a poor attempt at attracting media cover. age. “I was looking for something

with a bit more spark, a bii more drama, and a bit more fire,” he said. “They’re going to wonder back home what we’re doing here. I think they’re (CFS) afraid of offending anyone,” he said. But Allan Sharp, president of the Canadian Association of University Teachers, which coached students on lobbying techniques, said students should not have expected too much to come from the caucus meetings. _ “I don’t think debate is an effective lobby tool,” he said. “The crucial thing is that students hear the clear disinformation and the lack of knowledge that exits [in the government].” Macerollo, who was reelected CFS chair during federation meetings, promised to change the lobby format for next year’s meetings.

tldacerollo re-elected as chairman of f Federation OTTAWA (CUP) - Tony Macerollo, the clean-cut and diplomatic chair of the Canadian Federation of Students, was re-elected leader of the national student lobby and services group during its recent general meet_ ing, Macerollo, who ran unopposed for his second term in office, said the reelection suggests “an evaluation of a job well done to date.” He vowed to continue work on problems that have long plagued the five-year-old organization, including voting procedures and dealing with “non-educational issues”. Macerollo, whose new one-year term starts in May, could not elaborate. on new goals, saying, “My mind’s a bit fuzzy right now.” At the same meeting, CFS delegates voted to sponsor a “national week of action” to protest post-se. condary underfunding. The Jan. 26-30 protest .week will be the climax of ‘Funding the Future’, a one-year lobby campaign. Macerollo said the federation’s 50 member associations will organize individual protests, as well as simultaneous news conferences to publicize poor funidng for education in Canada. Macerollo said the federation will have little difficulty organizing the campaign in just over two months. “All we have to do is help (the members) be innovative about what can go on at the local level,” he said. The federation’s campaign committee has suggested strikes, rallies and sit-ins. Other suggestions include giving local politicians campus tours to illustrate -“the tangible effects of chronic underfunding, like offices in the hallways and overcrowded libraries.” The four main issues of the cam. paign will be student aid, employment, funding and differentid fees for international students.

Federal research support disappears to cut deficit OTTAWA (CUP) - The federal go. vemment’s commitment to funding quality research is eroding, warn Canadian scientists and research groups. The . National Research Council had been told to cut $20 million from its budget, and to find another $74 million during the next five years as part of Canada’s $800 million share of the American space station pro. ject. NRC president Larkin Kerwin said as many as 200 scientists could lose their jobs, while some NRC departments and facilities will be shut down or sold. Kerwin, calling the government decision “regrettable”, said council administrators have tried to minimize losses. “We have looked carefully at all our programs and have had to make some very difficult decisions,” Kerwin- said. The NRC cutback follows a decision this winter to freeze guaranteed funding to the Natural Sciences and

Engineering Research Council and the-Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, which fund most research on’ Canadian campuses. As well, the government last year cut 50 per cent of the Science Council of Canada’s budget. Science and Technology Minister Frank Oberle, who has been attacked almost daily in the House of Commons by opposition critics, staunchly defends the government’s move to reduce the federal deficit, and said reported damage to Canadian research is exaggerated. “There will be no layoffs and no pink slips (at the NRC),” said Oberie, even though senior NRC officials say layoffs are inevitable. And even if layoffs are avoided, they say, research will suffer because of insufficient funding for equip ment, supplies and support staff. “Of what I can see, budgets are dropping and support is disappearing ,” said NRC physicist Zbigniew Basinski, a member of the Order of

Canada who studies metal strength and fatigue. “Funding restraint (is making) my research impossible,” he said. “From our point of view, the really terrible thing is that morale is going below sea level,” said Basinski. Mosur Sundaresan, chairman of Carleton University’s physics department, said scientists outside the NRC also have reason to lose heart. “Although we have not been directlyaffected, we are very concerned about the future,” he said. “We are not convinced the government (is) very concerned about the future. We are not convinced the go vemment should be putting so much time into the space station project on such a long-term basis,“‘ said Sundaresan. The Canadain Association of University Teachers is not opposed to Canadian participation in the space adventure, but president Allan Sharp said the cut “is another wrong step to take.”

“Canada provides too little money for research in Canada. Mr. Oberle seems to be of the view that science policy in Canada can be improved without funds,” said Sharp. “We think improving science policy will require new money. Mr. Oberle is going to have to accept that fact, somewhere along the line.” David Orlikow, New Democrat technology critic, said the private sector will not provide as much financial support as the government is expecting it to. “There’s no evidence that’s going to work Opinion in the private sector is contrary to that,” said Orlikow. Opposition MPs have harangued the Mulroney government for backing down on preelection promises to double research and development spending. “The prime minister when he was leader of the opposition said he would increase funding to the NRC,” said Orlikow.

Gay Rights Controversy I

continued from page 1 across the issue . . . by saying that people will be forced (to hire homosexuals), as if they’re losing the choice of whom they can hire,” said Larry Maclean, a 3A IS student at UW and GLLOWs representative to CGRO. “They’re really fighting against the legislation because they believe homosexuality is a sin. That’s the kind of discrimination we’re fighting -against.” Hudson Hilsden, president of the ClV, said the legislation is unnecessary because homosexuals are already protected under the current human rights code, and denied that his organization promotes hatred of gays. “We do not hate homosexuals,” he said. “I talk to lots of them, try to be kind to them. “Homosexuals presently enjoy the same legal rights and fundamental freedoms . . . as do heterosexuals . . . (We can’t) give special rights to one group.” He acknowledges that gays should not face discrimination in non-private housing or public employment, but defends the right of religiousbased organizations to choose whom they hire. “We have no objection (to anti-discrimination laws for) people working in companies having no particular

tion of religious grbups such as\ the Ontario Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Christian Medical and *Dental Society, and the Pentacostal Fellowship of North America, which is publicly voicing4 its opposition to the amendment. In a fund-raising letter sent to various businesses , and individuals throughout Ontario, the CFV urges 3 action to prevent “Attorney-General Ian Scott imposing ‘homosexual rights’ on your family.” Under the flew legislation, the CFV says, par_ ents looking for someone to lookafter their children could have the government “force” them to hire a homosexual. “Who should decide with whom your children can associate. . . you, or the Ontario government?’ the letter asks. CGRO, which is orbanizing and coordinating the lobby for passage of Bill 7, describes the letter as “spreading hysteria”, calling it “hate propaganda”. I In a flyer distributed to ‘promote support for the bill, CGRO accuses the CR/ of a campaign “trading in myths and stereotypes . . . to spread fear arid hatred of lesbians and gay men.” “They’re drawing a ‘red herring

moral basis for their existence,*’ Hilsden said, but suggests that defining such groups would cause problems. “(What about) a religious book publisher? At what point do we hive legislation?* Hilsden also objects to the legislation on the grounds it would extend legal support to homos?ual behaviour, and thus lead to greater public support, a consequence the gayrights groups are hoping for because it wil! lead to reduced hostility toward gays* We shouldn’t write protective legislation on the basis of lifestyle,” Hilsden said. “We believe it’s a lifestyle .: . we are of the persuasion that one (has a choice in) being homosexual.” But CGRO aigues that personal choice does has no role in determining sexual orientation, and therefore gays aren’t asking for special privileges, just the same rights other minority groups are already granted under the. Human Rights Code. The organization cites cases of blatant legal discrimination against gays in employment and education, such as the case of a variety store cashier fired from her position because of her homosexuality and later evicted from her apartment when her complaint became public and her landlord found out she was gay. Details of such cases and ‘the history of discrimination against gays ap a subjects of .a brief prepared by, CGRO for distribution to Ontario MPP’s. That brief will be released by UWs Maclean at a Kitchener press conference, one of several throughout the province, to be held next

This is a story about circles !- a dog, a rabid dog perhaps, infinitely chasing its own tail. It is a story still in the making for lone cannot talk about facts in the sense that one could visit the guilty in jail and see the victims satisfied justice had been born into the light of day. The - _ justice procedure, the play in the courts of the land, is still under way. Yet it is a story that is worth telling because it falls so neatly into what is vogue and perhaps can serve to raise an eyebrow or a question. I start with the dog’s tail. We have heard. there is an increase in drug use on this continent. It’s called an epidemic by the dog itself. It seems strange things have built up to this so suddenly. Is it true the peddling and use of controlled consumptive chemicals is worse than last year, five years, ten years ago? Well assuming they are, and assuming things have built up to an epidemic, then we should chase them, the drugs that is, right? What mother wouldn’t vote for a politician bent on saving her son and the youth of today from this Satan? This is after all the role of the politician not the mother right? But . . .

B,ut according to the federal civil lawsuit against the United States government, brought to the courts by the Christic Institute (of Karen Silkwood fame) on behalf of Tony Avirgan and Martha Honey (CBC radio correspondent in San Jose, Costa Rica), many of the drugs, cocaine in particular, have been brought into the U.S.A. by U.S. taxpayers’ money. The accusation is that the CIA, having secretly and illegally given money to the FDN Contras of Nicaragua provided them with-access to a supply of cocaine in Columbia, with a place for sorting and routing the stuff in Costa Rica, and with a port of entry into the U.S. through Miami. These Contras could, and some think they did, multiply their CIA money at an exponential rate, giving themselves enough cash to fund a real war on the Nicaraguan Sandinista government, pay real wages to their “soldiers” and pot ke t kreal graft. The Christic Institute estimates the quantity of cocaine involved could be as high as one ton every week. The mid-point of the process, the place for sorting and routing, is of :particular interest here. According to the albgations, this midpoint of the cocaine between Columbia and Miami for the FDN, appears to be the farm in Costa Rica owned by a man named John Hull. In 1953, General John Hull was a member of the 40 Committee overseeing CIA intelligence activities. These activities included covert action, which was legitimized the following year as the ‘third arm’ of the CIA. Hull’s farm, if the allegations in the Christic, Institute’s suit are correct, is a veritable focal point for FDN corruption going far beyond the movement of cocaine for profit. The lawsuit reads like a cheap 1950’s spy novel. Here at Hull’s farm is the CIA training grounds for new Contra recruits; here is a warehouse and shipping point for gun running; here is the training grounds for FDN recruits; here is the co-ordination point for FDN strategy in the south of Nicaragua; and here is the base for planning such covert actions as the assassination attempts on the lives of such figures as Eden Pastora, leader of the independent Contra group ARDE, and former U.S. ambassador to Columbia, current U.S. ambassador to Costa Rica, Lewis Tambs. The plaintiffs, Honey and Avirgan, fit into all of this May 7, 1984, at a place called La Penca, just inside the southern Nicaraguan border, where Eden Pastora had called a press conference: Pastora had been receiving threats from the FDM, possibly under CIA orders, to the effect that he was either to obey FDN/CIA orders or “be out of it permanently” (from the chronology of events given in the Christic Institute’s dossier on the case). Pastora wanted it clear to the media that, unlike the FDN, his force would not be CIA dupes, nor would they accept ex-Somosistas or Cu. bans into their camp. At the La Penca press conference, a man later discovered to be notorious assassin Amac Galil, posed as a Danish journalist, and

deposited a backpack full of explosives at the feet of a group of reporters surrounding Pastora. Galil walked away carrying a walkie talkie and pulled its switch, detonating the backpack. Eight were killed, and 28 others, including Tony Avirgan, were wounded. Pastora was injured but not killed because the impact of the explosion was absorbed by the reporters around him. The astounding thing about this assassination attempt is Galil was on camera, filmed by the Costa Rican Channel 2 cameraman seconds before the explosion. The footage, which survived the blast, clearly shows Galil walking away from the reporters and Pastora holding onto his walkie talkie. This footage, now being used as evidence in the Christic institute case, was the starting point for the investigation undertaken by Avirgan and his wife Martha Honey. They had clear photographic identification of the assassin from the time he got into the boat which took the journalists to La Penca, to the telling pictures seconds before the explosion. But they did not know who he was; obviously, his Danish press card and alias were forged. Their search for Galil’s identity brought them into contact with sources who revealed evidence about the assassination attempt on Pastora and about many other threads weaving into the fabric of CIA involvement and John Hull’s farm. They became like the characters in the metaphorical 1950’s spy novel, involved in all the romance and reality of investigative journalism. They received death threats; one of their sources was tortured and killed lyhile another was fired upon. The deeper they probed, the higher the stakes got, the bigger the story became. ‘Indeed, a further allegation in their lawsuit

the law then we strongly deny it.” So, the dog’s tail is bigger than cocaine smuggling if we look at American rhetoric regarding anti-terrorism and self-determination for all. But cocaine smuggling is what we are talking about here really. The rest is mere frivolity. The point is that it becomes more and more difficult to take all the “war on drugs” stuff seriously if Martha Honey and Tony Avirgan have anything to say. It just may be that drugs are indeed the foundation of American foreign policy in Nicaragua, the fight against the spread of communism.

The implications for the second front, the smuggling or importing front, lie directly on the shoulders of some of the “poor and huddled masses” seeking to find liberty in land of liberty, the United States of America. They are now faced with an upgraded surveillance campaign, an iron curtain in its own right, on the Mexican border. Ironic as it may sound, given the case of Avirgan and Honey, the Miami or Florida connection for drug smuggling has been effectively shut down, claims the American government. The real problem these days is Mexico. Apparently, it is the same railway, the same route and means used by “refugees” ’ entering the United States illegally, that is

bringing in the drugs. Still, if indeed drugs are coming by boxcar on this railway, that is not all the refugee express carries. What else? Refugees of co,urse, people seeking safety from the mass violence in their own countries. We must be careful with the term “refugee” however, it has value in its definition. The dog, chasing its drug-ladened tail calls these people “aliens”. Need we really comment on this? I suppose so, if only to set a few things straight. One gets oneself into some pretty thick se mantical traps when one is looking for precision in definition with a word like refugee. But, haven’t we heard it said somewhere that the United States of America is a land open to all people who come in good faith to participate in the great democratic experiment? These “aliens” have been accused of various motives for coming to America, but mostly they have been characterized as a threat to American jobs. No one has accused them of being subversive or a threat to American democracy or freedom. The further hypocrisy-f this alien/refugee problem is unti’ recently, nothing that has been said about the presence of these Latin American foreigners has been taken seriously. They were all thought to be Mexicans and a . - source of cheap labour for jobs no one else would do. The jobs got done and one did not worry about ugly things like the welfare handouts or unionization normally accrued to “citizens” of the U.S. Only with the coming of the Salvadoran and Guatemalan refugee/aliens has a problem arisen. These people are living stories of the atrocities that occur in the name of democracy and freedom, sponsored and funded by the U.S. in their countries. It has been estimated there are more than 500,000 Salvadorans in the U.S., or one-tenth of the population of El Salvador. As far as numeric significance goes, they are all illegally there. U.S. immigration accepts less than four per cent of those who apply for asylum. Canada on the’other hand accepts those who have been rejected in the U.S. That is to say that a Salvadoran considered to be a threat to American jobs in the U.S. is considered to be a political refugee in Canada. Similarly, the UN has been quite critical of U.S. immigration policies and their >loose definitions of what constitutes a refugee.

Why does the U.S. not accept Salvadorans and Guatemalans as refugees? It would be a blatant admission things are not so good in those Central American countries. At best the position taken by the U.S. is violence exists-in those places because of a civil war, and all atrocities are perpetrated by “communist” rebels. There are no government deat.h squads. Civilians, not the military, are running those countries. Elections are fair and pover:y is a result of Latin American laziness or inferiority. Could we say racial inferiority? At worst, the U.S. denies there are any real problems in those countries. There is no violence and no necessary-poverty. Things are not as good as in the U.S., but they are not bad either. The “aliens” have no complaint and are in the U.S. for reasons of greed only. Still, one would think if immigration could turn a blind eye to all of the Mexicans doing the cheap labour jobs, they could ignore the Salvadorans and Guatemalans. The truth is, because they are living evidence of the con‘radictions which exist between the reality painted by American officialdom and the reality lived by Guatemalans/Salvadorans, “aliens” in the U.S. are a risk to the public opinion which the U.S. government desires. People are finding out. This is especially true in the states of Arizo,la, Texas, New Mexico and California, where the largest population of illegal Latin Ameri:an immigrants exists. For self-claimed reasons of conscience, certain people, usually Church people, have taken to hiding Guatemclans and Salvadorans from the INS (ImmiTration and Naturalization Service). ronically, the INS exists not for purposes of naturalizing these people, but for detaining, md ultimately deporting them. The Church leople are also speaking out about the hypocisy they feel exists with their government’s lolicies in El Salvador and Guatemala’. This is .ot good for cohesive public opinion. Further, this Church movement, commony referred to as the Sanctuary movement, is Irowing. This means -that more and more jeople are hearing about the refugee/alien :ontradiction. It also means it is harder for the NS to find and deport the people they call aliens”. Finally, because it is a Church movenent, if the U.S. government is going to chal-

lenge the movement in’ the courts of a “God fearing country”, it will be put in the awkward position of having to challenge people who claim to be acting on the will of God. This has happened several times and the publicity has not been good. Convicting nuns and priests for feeding and clothing Strangers out of conscience is somewhat problematic. And it gives them a podium on which to make some very embarrassing accusations. Caught between the desire to continue with present policy in Central America and the desire not to be found out, especially while jailing American religious people, the U.S. government had to find another solution to the “alien” problem. They have found it by attempting to increase the border patrol on the Mexican/American border in the name of stopping drugs. Indeed, according to Michael Doonan, legislative correspondent ‘for Senator John Kerry (Mass.) who was involved with researching the recent drug enforcement legislation, the legislation just passed in the U.S. Congress is to secure the American borders for all purposes. It is only in the media they are being secured for stopping drugs. Phil Weaton, co-ordinator for the DC Metropolitan Sanctuary Centre, agrees with the analysis that there is a blatant attempt on behalf of the American government to stop the migration of “embarrassing persons” into the U.S. The new laws coincide, says Weaton, “deliberately with other INS policies which are seeing the deportation laws become less stringent and also building more and bigger detention centres.” The fact of the matter, with regard to the problem of illegal immigration at the Mexican border is that on exactly the same day that the new drug enforcement act was passed, October 17, 1986, an immigration reform bill was passed. These two pieces of legislation strongly compliment each other. Each allows for the other. related department to act on its behalf. In other words, the customs and border patrols can be looking for drugs and the drug enforcement agency and its border patrols can look for refugees. Further, the INS in its workings around the border, (yes, all three agencies are watching the Mexican border in some capacity which is now being stepped up) can look for drugs too. In what INS press officer, Duke Austin, calls “a project alliance”, the combined legislations will see the budgets of the INS, Customs Department and Drug Enforcement Agency, as they pertain to the Mexican border, increase by 50 per cent. “This will translate into’a larger presence at the border, more guns and personnel,” he said.

- Part of the plan for the customs department, according to customs officer Jim Mahan, is the installation of airostat balloons which will carry radar at an altitude of 12,000 feet. “This will dramatically increase our effectiveness on the whole stretch of the border,” said Mahan. “Up until now we have had problems with land radar because of the mountainous terrain in the region. This radar looks down and we will be able to pick up virtually all movement on the border.” Will this have a great impact on the “alien” movement on the border? “It most definitely will” said Mahan. The only real threat to the crack-down on immigration at the Mexican border could have come from the powerful lobby of industries of the southwest United States which benefit, both covertly and overtly, from illegal “wetback” labour. Apparently provisions in the new immigration reform law ,deal with I their possible complaints in an appeasing manner. Chris Wilson, Mexican desk officer for the U.S. department of commerce, says allowances have been made to assure fruit growers, for example, can in a time of crisis bringin foreign labour. Further, under Maquila Dora, a 21 year-old agreement with the Mexican government, U.S. industry has been steadily and increasingly locating in Mexico. This agreement allows U.S. industry to locate in Mexico virtually tax free and import machinery and component parts to be assembled also virtually tax free. The industries use the plentiful supply of Mexican (and other Central American) labour for the assembly stage of their production-and then ship the

for the value added to the components that went into Mexico before assembly. According to Chris Wilson the U.S. industries’ choice to relocate is a “question of comparative value”. The new immigration and drug laws should radically alter that comparative value. The choice is becoming relocate or increase your costs for labour. According to Wayne McClintok, publisher of the Mexican Report monthly and annual Directory of the Maquila Dora industries, there is speculation of a free trade zone agreement between Mexico and the U.S., which would extend 200 miles on either side of the border. This would allow both the agricultural sector of the U.S. and the already existing industries to utilize the cheap Mexican labour while giving the U.S. government a large buffer zone in which it could patrol the coming and going of people at both ends of the area. The potential effectiveness of keeping out unwanted people would be greatly increased. This last possibility is an option which has been opened for the future if things do not work out with the new arrangements. So is the complete militarization of the Mexican border. The inclusion of military equipment was originally in the drug enforcement legislation, says John Kerry, but “the democrats threatened to filibuster the bill. We wanted to get the bill through so we dropped the part about that equipment.” So, if the new form of ‘normal’ at the Mexican border proves to be still too much of a problem, there is recourse to further, more dramatic action. If all is not right in wonderland, it can be made right.

This is the way the dog makes himself dizzy. Circles and circles are run, the back end chasing the front, the front end chasing the back, until the whole beast becomes a blur and the front and the back are indistinguishable. Drugs, Contras, war in El Salvador, war in Guatemala and refugees chase the democratic dream like water turning to vapour, turning to cloud, turning to rain, turning to vapour and so on. Are drugs, Contras, war and refugees the democratic dream? It makes one wonder. And what about here in Canada? What about our democratic dream? There can be little doubt that our government’sjumping on the “drug” bandwagon (or should we just say wagon) is politically detrimental. Our prime minister is once again seen as a political puppet, and it has cost him credibility points. Surely he is not so stupid as to be unable to

tion about the extended reach of the dog down south. As Canadians we gave up on the concept of independence and sold ourselves into political serfdom several decades ago. This meant because we were economically linked to the American economy, we had to be obedient and follow on large political movements: We would do what we were told to do in things like NATO and NORAD. We would condemn communism and condone U.S. major policy decisions. But as serfs, we were allowed a certain amount of freedom. We could accept American draft dodgers during the Vietnam era. We could protest acid rain and fishing rights. We could even send aid to Nicaragua, so long as what was done did not blatantly embarrass the U.S. At worst we were allowed to be silent and inactive when we couldnot say or do anything that would not be embarrassing to the Americans. With the drug issue this has changed. Our prime minister is not facing an election. There is no need for him to try and win points with the public, especially in this way. As difficult as it seems to believe the use and importation of drugs has increased in the U.S. in recent times, it is equally difficult to believe it in Canada. Indeed, if the statistics of the RCMP National Drug Intelligence Estimate is any indication, the use and importation of /most drugs has actually shown a dramatic decline in the last few years. More importantly it is no easier to control the use or importation of drugs than it ever has been. The coincidence of their obsession with drugs and ours is not accidental. We are following a lead. What is disturbing is that this time, the issue is not a large political issue. At least as it is being played on the public stage it is not a large political issue. It is not new and it is not different.

i What we are seeing is our serfdom turning into out and out slavery. It is being done in the name of democracy and freedom. But whose freedom and democracy? Is it the same democracy being defended in El Salvador and Guatemala? Is it the same democracy being fought for at the borders of Nicaragua with guns and men purchased (we must still say “maybe” here), maybe, with American taxpayers’ drug money. Is it the same democracy sending Central Americans back to their homelands possibly to their deaths? Are we not becoming appendages where we were only cheerleaders for a very confused and

For most of their show last Friday at Fed Hall, Kelowna cuties The Grapes of Wrath seemed to be functioning on auto-pilot. Being a polished live act is admirable, but not tQ the point where the polish robs the music of the essential intensity of rock ‘n’ roll. And for most, if not all, of their two sets and an encore, that’s just what happened. It was like listening to September Bowl Of Green, their phaaane first album - at a louder volume than your neighbours would euer allow. The Grapes of Wrath have, even at this early point in their career, learned the handbook of rock ‘n’ roll stardom: they already have acquired the obligatory “song we don’t, play anymore” and they’ve written a song about how dull their hometown was in Backwards Town. Beyond this, Grapes of Wrath have also been practicing their “guitar hero” moves - standing on the monitor, jumping off the drum riser, standing on the imaginary amp towers at the back of the stage (which were, in fact, packing cases) and then, jumping off the amp tower/packing case. Not hindered by the acne which DOOMED The Jesus and Mary Chain, Grapes of Wrath have nearly perfected that pouty, vulnerable cuteness which could rocket them onto the bedroom walls of teenage girls everywhere.

sour grapes

and There really isn’t much doubt about the fact that Grapes of Wrath are Canada’s best jangle-pop group, but after a couple of hours - saris intensity - the music gets a little same-y. And considering the fact that from the mightyScotch Pine of British Columbia to the fishing hamlets of Newfoundland, the land has been echoing with their praises, Grapes of Wrath’s stagebound sleepiness comes as even more of a surprise. Hmmm . . . perhaps had the dancefloor had been a little fuller and the crowd been B little noisier before Grapes of Wrath played their best-known song, Misunderstanding, things might have been hotter. The problems at Grape of Wrath are typical of Kitchener-Waterloo audiences in general. Their innate conservatism and unwillingness to cheer or dance when they aren’t completely familiar with a band often means that K-W only ever gets mediocre performances out of artists who are capable of much more. At UW, this problem is acute on a week-to-week basis, since people won’t dance to records they haven’t heard before, Fed Hall deejays are forced to play music as unadventurous as the crowd. Truthfully, we left after the second set to go and catch a half-hour of U.I.C. at Level 21, word was that the encore of Killing Me Softly and Heart Of Gold was intense but then again, two songs do not a concert make. Grapes of Wrath are a fine band, sadly, their concert at Fed Hall simply was not up to snuff.

Scrooge’s ghost returns to haunt Humanities by Sam Hiyate Imprint Staff j Christmas is coming early this year, at least for the group of approximately 50 involved in the Drama department’s production ‘of Dicken’s A Christmas Carol. It will run from November 19 to 21 at the Humanities Theatre. A “gala” performance of the play will start at 7 p.m. Wednesday, with Jake Willm and carolers, who will lead the audience in half-hour of church carol singing. It’s an evening performance so peers and parents can attend. In the UW production, Bruce

Beaton plays Scrooge. Doug Abel plays the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Stewart Easun and Annette Stokes-Harris are the Cratchits. Robert Abel and Gary Lenz respectively play Tiny Tim and Jacob Marley. The set design is by Ned Dickens. Costumes and Lighting are by Susan Schmidt and James Milburn respectively. The story has been adapted for the stage by Duncan Macgregor, of Carousel Players, a St. Catharines based group. It was while working with them that Al Anderson first saw the script. Anderson, a lecturer and technical director of the Drama department, is directing the play. “My business is theatre,” he said, asked about himself. “I started off as a singer and came up through the amateur ranks.” Anderson has been involved with productions at the Centre in the Square, the Shaw Festival and the Klienhaus Music Hall. He became a lecturer at UW because teaching appeals to him. He “loves being around the students.” Anderson stays busy year-round. He’s the summer production manager of The Red Barn (a theatre at Jackson’s Point). Last summer he brought 7 students up to work with him. Work on A Christmas Carol began about four weeks ago. Asked about the selection of actors, Anderson said: “Four people wanted to be Scrooge. I had asked Bruce (Beaton) to read at the auditions, at first as someone the performers could read with - but he liked the part

and he was exactly what I was looking for. It was the same with Gary Lenz. The minute I heard him, I wanted him to be Jacob Marley.” “Doug Abel (acting chair of the Drama department) wanted to play Scrooge. But he *and Bruce, with Gary, read. so well together (with Doug as the ghosts), that Doug ended up playing all three ghosts.” Bruce Beaton, a fourth-year English and Drama student, plays Scrooge. He said, “(The challenge in playing Scrooge is) the balance between before and after - the transforma-tion of Scrooge from a miser to an extremely charitable gentleman.”

Beaton has done a play every term he’s been on campus. He has performed in seven plays: Jacob

Two Two Meets the Hooded Fang, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Knack, Dr. Faustus, A Streetcur Named Desire, The Merchant Of Venice, and Automatic Pilot. For A Streetcar Named Desire, he also served as assistant director. The plays have provided extensive experience for Beaton. For one play, he worked with Charles, McFarland, from the Stratford Company, which Beaton said was the “start of the association between UW and Stratford.” Does he feel his acting has im-

proved over the terms? “Certainly,” said Beaton. “There is a cumulative effect. But it’s not sequential: it goes in leaps and stages.” He mentioned a six-week apprentice acting program in Banff that he particularly enjoyed. “I plan to study acting,” said Beaton. “I’ve been farting around for too long - I need to go to,a school of acting. There’s a three-year acting program in an up-and-coming drama school in England I want to get into.” Other than the 1:30 Wednesday and the evening gala, performances are at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday.

vital signs -

He’s on campus Tuesdays and Wednesdays, in an office at St. Jerome’s College, reading the manuscripts that students and local citizens have brought to him, or talking one-to-one with would-be writers: suggesting changes to their work, writers they ought to read, places they might sub.mit work to; trying like hell to get inside their worlds and language, not trying to make them write like he does. That’s his public face - as Writerin-Residence, editor, confidant, salaried public servant. Just once in the school year tliat mask comes off - when he reads from his‘ own work as he did November 5, in Siegfried Hall. At 5:30 the same day he’s in the Duke of Wellington trying to give Imprint an interview. He’s being monosyllabic and evasive, staring at the ice-cubes in his drink or muttering sulky asides to the two friends who sit at his left. Frankly, his mind is still on his reading. He shared three of his stories: read one, sang one, told one; and now phrases, images, cadences. from those fictions are playing themselves back to him. He’s wondering if any of them have lodged in the minds of the audience - if the children of his invention have found new hosts. And at least once a month he has to give interviews, most of them dealing with the bare data of his life, the dates, the travels, the publications. Of course he’d rather talk about his work than himself, but how many interviewers have bothered to read that work . . . ? . A private man trapped in a public role. Another round’of drinks, a last attempt to be civil, humourous, available: Imprint: How many of the stories you tell about your life are true? Virgo: They’re all true. About two-thirds of them are factual. Were you really shot down in a Wellington bomber over Malta when you were two years old? Yes. Were you really on the Queen Mary when she was a troopship between Egypt and South Africa, on the voyage when the German POW’s in the cargo hold mutinied against their brutal Polish guards and took over the ship? Yes. Did you really get where you are by sleeping in the right beds? Yes. Are .you honestly bored with talking.about your personal life or is that an inverted form of arrogance? Yes. Do you really keep yourself sane by playing The Rolling Stones

An intra view with . loud at times of stress? Yes. Is there any question I could ask you about yourself to which you’d answer “No”? No. Shall we change the subject then? Please.

u W’S

writer-in-residence

What does being Writer-inResidence at UW ‘mean to you? Solvency, usefulness, some good friends. What is your most .common advice to writers who bring you their work? Student writers? Yes.

Good Yes. “Drop

ones? out.”

Why? Because if Rimbaud lived in Waterloo Rambo? Not the cretinous Hollywood psy-

chopath - Arthur Rimbaud, the seraphic French depthcharge who gave up writing when he was 19 and changed everything. His Poetes de Sept Ans was the first shot in the war which is the 20th Century. And that is - despite received mythology - a guerrilla war. Anyway, if he lived in Waterloo he wouldn’t be at the university. Though he might sneak in and use the library. Isn’t “Drop out” frivolous and subversive advice? Subversive, maybe - bo is the message of St. Francis. Certainly not frivolous - writing’s the most serious thing in the world: it’s not a hobby, and you can’t get degrees in it. That’s not true, is it? What about Creative Writing Departments? They produce good readers, not good writers. Unfortunately many of those good readers are frustrated, bitter, envious. But isn’t the study of Literature vital for a writer? Reading is. “Literature” is a reductive academic discipline. Like any such discipline it is L when pursued by committed and joyful scholars - a wonderful spiritual exercise. But writing’s a different thing altogether. So these students come to you and you tell them to drop out. In this economic climate? Listen: how many such writers do you think i see in a year - twenty? Two would be a miracle. If someone comes to me who is good, and who seriously wants to commit him or her self to learning the “craft and sullen art”, and to trying and failing . and being misunderstood, and then trying and succeeding and stiil being misunderstood, and all the time writing, writing, writing OF COURSE I’m going to say “Drop out.” Get on with it right away, it’s the rest of your lonely, dedicated, angelic life you’re talking about. Do it now - you haven’t got much time. And don’t expect glamour, reward, praise;’ and when and if you do get them, then run away from them too. Be like Bob Dylan - always off on the horizon a light year or two ahead of your bewildered and betrayed admirers. And if one day you find you’ve lost it then get out and do something useful for a change don’t linger on in mediocrity singing “Glory Days”. Lucifer is the patron saint of all artists, and “Non Serviam” is their creed. That’s quite a non sequitur. Oh well - artists don’t indulge in linear thought except in their spare time. Emmerson was put into this ‘world simply to point out that “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.” What are you drinking? You’re a gentleman. 0

The reader must be a sleuth in this yarn

Some of this won’t make sense: I think there’d be something sadly wrong with a serious contemporary novel whose structure was so linear that you could extract a fully coherent 2,000 word narrative from it. ’ The Novel is a code, the Reader a sleuth, and the clues come piecemeal. Even serious journalism has started to abandon linear narrative: look of a Death at Marquez ’ “Chronicle Fore told”. “Selakhi” is many things, including a totally dramatised (i.e. nontheoretical) exploration of the different ways out language can tell stories. But it’s an adventure yarn too, and 1’11do. my best to provide a key: Darien Hughes, 17, has absconded to Selakhi, a Melanesian village. He writes poetry - the text is pied with quotations from his notebook. He names everything: Seth is

his notebook, Tybalt his knife (he’s killed someone with it, and the-Pa’ewa - the Shark Clan who dominate Selakhi - have taken it as weregild), the Swan is his pen, Funamai his pipe, the Toad his fire. Bolly I’Sa native girl, Maua is her male cousin. Smooth Hound’s an old American who deserted during the Guadalcanal campaign of 1942 and has been living as a native.

The Askers are carved wooden guardians. Malaria is endemic to the Solomon Islands. This is the last 2 l/2 sections of Part Four of “Selakhi”:

‘The context, is the text by Sam Hiyate Imprint Staff “I’m a lousy interviewee,” says Writer-in-Residence Sean Virgo. I won’t argue with him. Although the Imprint interview with Virgo was done by someone who knows him intimately, it was initially my assignment to attend his reading, and squeeze a few words out of him afterward. Sean Virgo is an enigma. He doesn’t like to talk about his past. He’d much rather write about it. Perhaps he believes that by talking about the past he might come to grips with unresolved conflicts. Conflicts which still haunt him. Perhaps he believes that old tales lose their freshness when told too often - and he’d rather write them, put them in a solid form, while they are still fresh and exciting - before

they’ve been rationalized away into obscurity. That doesn’t stop him from having a humble sort of charisma. And it doesn’t stop me from liking him. And it was one of my reasons in attending his reading, and listening to the man as he unpeels himself as a banana, and invites us to take a bite. The reading comes and goes, a total of three pieces: Shun Val Mar, Ennistrea, and Dusty Bluebells, each piece tasting richer than the previous one. I responded strongly to Ennistrea. I can still hear Sean’s charming voice singing the melodic line of this melancholy ballad. Ennistrea is the tale of a young maiden who is forced to marry a “cold, grey” lord on her thirteenth birthday. She despises the old man, and on their wedding night prophesies that she will bear

More Virgo words XXIV The Fox has come down to the houses. All day the colours have been there, faintly. On the thatch decals, on the face of Belly’s Rock, around the trees, outlining the I trees. The vaguely synthetic pinks, blues and yellowish greens. The fumes of poison. He had to come out, look for coolness, do something. And, whatever ,they way, the forest’s still haunted for him. The grainy contours of rock or bark, even water, separate with the colours: The basic planes blue, the drifting highlands pink. Or the reverse. When he looked back his house was beating with the colours. He finds his way in the dark down a nauseous flare-path. On the open sand of the plaza he can feel the venomous hues taking over’. When he closes his eyes, they cloud and split - neon amoebas on a mucus screen that’s pricked and clotted with bloodspots. Next thing, the whole screen starts dancing with mindworms and circles and spectacle-threads: microbes on a slide, sick molecules.

He turns into Shark Town: any contact, voices, normality. He’s afraid. There seems to be no one around. Dr. Devlin said, Petit mal, not epilepsy, he’ll outgrow it. That was the only fit they ever found out about. Yes, he outgrew it, and then came the headaches. Flesh wilting, auras buzzing and flaring round everything, nothing to do but lie in a cool room under a cotton sheet and turn off everything. Impossible with his mind. Cool. Ho- ho! . Cotton sheets, Ha-ha! Two figures loom up. The Pa’ewa Askers. Flaming with nausea against the night. The auras lash across-the gap between them, embrace and recoil. He feels about two feet high. Behind them the bulk of the Aufa: Tybalt-Tiboti’s somewhere in there, among the skulls. There would be no skulls, if they get all dumped in the sea. The skulls of their enemies. Dr. Leishman said he’d outgrow the headaches too.

Emily’s doctor said she’d get over her period pains when she’d married and had a baby. Gurth said in anger: That writing’s just a phase, you know. Soon the pain will start, hatching from a pale egg behind his left eye. In half an hour it will have formed a band across his temples, cinching his brain in, throttling his eyeballs.

Some people at last: a silent _crowd of them outside one of the houses. All men. Suddenly contact’s the worst thought of all. What is he doing? He lopes away, between houses, before they see him. No migraine has ever got into his guts so before. A woman comes out and throws water off her veranda. He shrinks back, then leans his head against the thatch. Is he going to make it home? The house is muttering and moaning. A pink-blue flame licks viciously up at his right eye: a gap in the thatch. He shifts his head and looks in. Facing him, a child. Newborn, he can smell the weird fluids that still glisten on its skin, see the telephone cord of the navel string, The baby yawns in his face, wide and slow. He can’t see its sex, a hand grips it between the legs, holding it upright. Its crumpled scalp. There’s nothing in those eyes at all - Darien can see the auraflames shrinking and fading’. The child stops in mid-yawn. The colours die. ‘The little body’s inert. The house fills with wailing, strangely distant through the . thatch wail. Feet now, coming from the street in front - voices on the steps. Women answering men. He should take off, but he can’t leave. He can just see the mother behind, leaning up on her elbows. Her legs are bloc,ked by-two women’s backs - they are drawing something out of her: he can see the green shadow on the wall. A vision of that deadly pink interior, the bruised and torn flesh and inside that the Grey Mother, locking her teeth and saying I won’t let go. Give me back my own. Is Boliy in there? Even she’d be no help. He ought to be up by the

him a son, who will kill him. Nine months later, she dies after giving birth to a son. The lad grows up and fulfills the prophecy, and in the process becomes a “cold, grey” man himself. What struck me about the ballad was the lack of choice imposed upon the characters. The maiden must marry. The lad must kill the father. And perhaps worse of all, he becomes just like his father, implying the whole cycle will repeat again. The power of Ennistrea lies not in the theme itself, but in how it is communicated - Virgo projects the tragedy through all at his disposal: he uses a tight form, the ballad, limiting his own freedom; he sings with a resonant timbre full of sadness; he chooses words which make rain fall around us all in Siegfried Hall. Virgo is able to communicate a, fairly complex idea, not by appealing

waterfall, standing in the cold pool, letting the stream run over his scalp and neck, shivering the poison away. But the effort! He thinks of the beach - some movement of air perhaps, and he could lie in the shallows. He’s looking up at a flashing palm tree. A few feet away the sea is hushing through the sand. How did he get here? He can see the palm’s heart - a rotting blue candle flame1 The egg is hatching. Three men come down from the houses, talking softly. One of them carries a togi basket. The others drag something out from the bank. A small canoe. They wade in on either side of it. Suddenly Darien realises he’s going to shit himself. His bowels are liquefying. As he stands, a bolt of pain through his eye nearly strikes him down again. He’s got to get home - to the stream at least. He shambles off drunkenly toward the plaza. ’ Trips on the bank and sees, as he kneels up again, the paddle strokes going out through the lagoon, hurling mad phosphorescences toward him., I xxv Seth, Seth,’ the lines on your face are the thatch-seams on the far wall. The trough of your spine is the hosepost where Belly stood and held up the ridgepole with the sinews of her back. 1 She is there now, somehow, in front of his words, or under-printing them.

Is he trying to write on the skyion the atom-screen of his eyes? The binocular blips and zooms. Oh let me go he cries, when \ the spirit fails. The scrannel pipes of the thickets rasp at his brain. He clings to language. Trying, at every moment of lucidity and when the shaking stops, when his teeth aren’t hammering themselves till he weeps, to sort out the work he betrayed. Leave something behind. When he’s cold, the girls burn fat leaves under him. He’s on a hammock of poles and vines, the Guy in a bonfire, a kipper. He begs them over and over, whenever he’s aware, not to let Seth get burnt.

to the reasoning ability of his audience, but to the audience’s raw senses, their ability to feel. He appeals, through the music, c,olour, and sculpture of his words, to their emotions, and it is only because I myself felt trapped by some fate, trapped by some tyrannical pattern, that later I understood how the theme of Ennistrea had been gently massaged into my mind. It had taken the shortcut - and had first been pumped into my heart. Telling a story is like painting a picture in that you usually paint the background before you detail the centre of interest. Virgo is a storyteller of consummate skill because he works in the opposite way:’ He automatically provides a context by first providing that which it contains. He paints a philosophy by describing a grandfather. Or he conjures up visions of his past, sharply focused,

page

simply by describing the present. His ability lies in choosing from the infinite number of available details, those that convey their context. If “the medium is the message” then the context is the text. And Virgo, one with the context, simply’ presents text. And he’s put out a lot of text. Virgo has published four books of poetry and two collections of short stories, Through the Eyes of a Cat and White Lies and Other Fiction. Most recently, he’s published a novel, Selakhi, an excerpt of which appears in this Imprint. Sean Virgo explores himself and his past with his words and cadences. He’s a consummate artist who, like J.D. Salinger, would rather be described through his own works, than be described through his own words.

The smoke fills the house and crawls sluggishly out through the roof -gap. At night he’s alone. He tries to write things in the dark. Never sure if there’s ink in the Swan. Mother’s Hallowe’en whisper: fire and flicht and candlelight ’ and Christ preserve tha Saul. The snapdragons along the Mill river-wall’ yawn at him. Belly’s voice somewhere says Sik no slek, Dalyen.

Everything else becoming a swamp. The moments before the snakes are his only clarity. Then he pulls Seth to him, and the quaking Swan. Weeping~ when there’s no one there and he wastes the lime time he’s allowed, fishing for his touchstones down the side of his cot.

He lays Seth beside him. Does his alphabet make sense? A flying fox is hanging from the ridge-pole, its sharp face, even upside down, alert with conspiracy. Its pink cock peeps down through sparse belly-fur. It begins to swing, a trapeze artist, its face is getting closer each time. He can smell it - it’s coming for him. But on its final skin-back, it vaults clean over. It stands erect against the sky, glaring. Its body’s become a parrot’s and Smooth Hound’s face gloats from the ruff of pink and blue finery. He cranes toward his victim. He pounds and screeches on his perch till the house structure sags and rebounds. He opens his wings and hopsdown, hollow-boned, jaunty. He bends over Darien’s face. Takes him up against his breast. Rocks him back and forth crooning. - ‘We best get ya outta here, soldier .’

He’s going to take him out through the lagoon and throw him to the sharks. There are baboon voices, wowing in and out on the corkscrew air. It’s a boat.

Any support act which can provoke a reaction from the Coronet crowd deserves hearty applause - and this quintet certainly warmed us up for the main attraction. It has been more than two decades since Steve Marriot, Ronnie Lane and Kenny Jones put together the Small Faces: one of the first mod bands. Although they enjoyed enormous early success the band members saw little of the profits. Together with an inability to come to grips with Steve’s complex songs, these financial problems caused a split in the band. In ‘69 Steve left to form Humble Pie with Peter Frampton, while the faces recruited Rod Stewart and let the rot set in. The initial public reaction to the Pie was encouraging and they soon became one of the early ‘70’s megabands.

Brott

With guest conductor Boris Brott, the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra had a commanding performance Nov. 8 at Centre in the Square. Playing the betterknown works of Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and Mendelssohn and the lesser heard Forsyth, the orchestra delivered an evening equal to their best. , The well known composer W.A. Mozart and his well known Ouerture to the Marriage of Figaro were the evening’s hor-d’oeuvre. Conducted firmly and played crisply, the overture had the vigour equal to its fame.

Concerto

Unfortunately Steve did not adapt too well to this success and rode the drugs and booze trail which was to be the ruin of so many good musicians. Yet that reverberating gruff voice remains intact and Steve has tried to get his act together for his third performing decade. The 1986 version of Humble Pie has Jim Leverton on bass and Jerry Shirley on drums and although the Coronet is well removed from the huge stadiums that they used to fill, this act showed that they are just as comfortable in the small club scene. The set commenced with the Faces classic smash ,hit Whatcha gonna do about it, and the Pie’s Foolfor a

scene in London makes Toronto an exciting move. An exciting date for the future of UIC is the record release party at Lee’s Palace set for Saturday, December 13. Their first vinyl on Fringe Products will be out (fingers crossed) by month’s end. If it is as raw and tough as their live performance, buy the album, and a heavy duty cartridge to handle the energy. It is the energy, and not necessarily the musical style, which gives such a pump when hearing UIC. Representing old punk sensibilities garage type music with thrash, they hail a take no prisoners stance. After concluding their set when the singer felt he could shout no longer, the audience howled .Bullshit, and the band returned with a vengeance playing the Ramones’ anthem Blitzkrieg Bop (aahh-oohh let’s go!). The maximum energy continued with a new UIC composition Greenlady. Shit what a storm and the second encore hailed Thirteenth Floor Elevators, an obscure classic late ’60s garage band, by playing You’re Gonna Miss Me. Intense! Check them out either live or on their upcoming vinyl. A local opening act The Wursts pushed out some old rock ‘n’ roll standards with a Ramones appeal but lacked the intensity of UIC.

What do you get if you spend three days in a sound-proofed garage and record nine songs using only a digital two-track recorder and a Calrec Ambisonic Microphone? You get Whites off Earth Now, the debut album from Toronto’s Cowboy Junkies. Considering the recording conditions, this LP is surprisingly crisp and well produced. The choice of music is a nice selection of the Junkies’ Blues favourites including Shining Moon, Crossroads and I’ll Never Get Out of These Blues Alive. Lead singer, Margo Timmins, describes these cover versions as stripped down to the original lyric and then rebuilt in the Junkies own image. The sound is distinctive, a minimalist rhythm track of drums and bass from Peter Timmins and Alan Anton occasionally punctuated by shattering guitar bursts from Michael Timmins and lilting vocals from Margo. This could have been an impressive debut album but it doesn’t quite make it. It fails to deliver the sparkle of their live performances. The guitar work is restrained and hesitant and the lead vocals are lacking in confidence. This tends to be frustrating for the listener waiting for notes that just don’t materialize and the result is uninspiring.This is not necessarily a comment on the skill of the performers but rather on the demands of &recording music on a shoestring budget. . I still think this is a band to watch. They have recently received U.S. distribution for this disc and are in the process of touring Canada and later on, the American East Coast. Hopefully their exposure will result in more recording experience and hopefully more money to spend on recording the next album.

by Paul Done Imprint Staff Though only two 12” singles old, Baad! Records has already established a standard of excellence that, if continued, could turn them into a legendary record label. Their first record Art Of Drums by Macattack (moonlighting members of Trouble Funk), was a demonstration of Go-Go music’s crossfiring, layered rhythms - without the baggage of all the horns, bass, guitar and keyboards which accompany them in the usual Go-Go setting. Baad!‘s second single, War On The Bullshit! is a thermonuclear attack on wimped-out funk. Though War is nominally Go-Go it’s closer to Sex Machine than Good To Go. Osiris lays down the funk sinuous and strong and once in the Python-groove-grip, only the end of the song or end of the earth will allow yo’feet to stop moving. The ghosts of Parliament-Funkadelic, Graham Central Station and James Brown all put in appearances on War On The Bullshit!, but it’s more exercising ghosts than exorcising them. ‘The sleeve for Baad! Records’ releases says “Brilliant Dance Music” and this song backs that claim up.

It looks as though the Dragons of Edinburgh have severed ties with Martin Whitehead’s thriving Subway Organization label and have released this, their second EP Hang Ten! on their own Raw T.V.

Still more of that high treble ba-ba-ba-buzzsaw thrash and jangle though a touch more complacent at times than their brash I Know Everything single of ‘last summer.

by Chris Wodskou -Imprint staff Following the the sometimes flaccid filler on The Queen Is Dead and the positively dreadful Panic, their last single, things didn’t augur remarkably well for Ask. Rush-released in typical Smiths fashion, their thirteenth E.P. in little more than three years comes immediately on the heels of the Panic fiasco, perhaps so as to give critics as little time as possible to say “The Smiths were never that good, anyway.” Thankfully, Ask is a major step out of the depths of muck they’ve waded through of late, featuringthe two things that Panic most sorely missed: Johnny Marr’s usual stunningly melodic guitar work and Morrissey having something worthwhile to say.

On the hype-ometer, Schoolly got more response than anyone since the Jesus and Mary Chain. Just like the sweet-faced Scats Psycho-, candy though, this album is pretty dismal. Schooliy’s slurred rap, which sounds threatening in a Don Corleone sort of way for about three minutes becomes first dead boring then very comic over the space of an album.

His six-stringed alchemy romps and cascades over both the title and the oddly fluid Golden Lights which has everyone sounding like they’re singing through a defective snorkel and which is only kept from greatness by Kirsty MacColl’s wretchedly thin and tinny backing vocals. ’ The Smiths still sound like a band trying so hard to regain past brilliance that they’re overreaching themselves, but Ask shows that there might still be some jewels left in their plundered chest.

On P.S.K., it sounds as though Schoolly just woke up, the delivery is so dull and flat. SchoollyD? Sleepy-D is more like it!. Yeah, it seems that the white-boy reviewers in England and America were so impressed by the violence of Schoolly-D’s songs that they didn’t notice that the songs’ were garbage. You’ve got to wonder about the kind of guy who glorifies the violence that plagues cities like Philadelphia and Baltimore where 14 year-olds shoot other 14 year-olds who look at them in the wrong way. There’s no crime in wanting to be successful, but to do it through sheer bullshit notoriety doesn’t seem to be a terribly honourable way of conducting affairs.

around the world) for a while now with the Go-Go Crankin’ compilation of early 1985 and the Good To Go soundtrack of this summer. However, Say What is the first full album they’ve had from Trouble Funk, the Kings of Go-Go. (In America, they did have Saturday Night Live, but that was a reissue from 1983.) The live conceit is the highest’ form of Go-Go music and, in fact, the biggest trade of Go-Go music in, Washington D.C. is in bootleg tapes of shows. Say What shows Trouble Funk in full flight at one of the shows they played in London, England in July. It’s not the first Trouble Funk album released in Canada: Drop The Bomb! was issued in 1982 by Sugarhill Records, but it was promoted so weakly that delete bins were the only place that most people saw it. This time, they stand at least a fighting chance of getting a solid response from the buying public (though it might help if the Good To Go movie were released in Canada). They have two videos from Good To Go getting regtilar play on MuchMusic (Good To Go and Still Smokin’). Also, the live shows they did in Toronto in June as part of The du Maurier Jazz Festival have given them a lot of great wordof-mouth publicity. Succeeding in capturing much of the live intensity of Trouble Funk, Say What! provides a cross-section of some of Trouble Funk’s best material since the beginning of their career. There’s a burnirig 8 minute rendition of Pu&p Me Up, possibly the best track on the album, along with 6-plus minute versions of Let’s Get Smalls and Drop The Bomb. Even at this length, the versions on the album are only about half the length of Trouble Funk’s customary 15-20 minute live jams. Say What! also contains some live-only songs such as Funk By Numbers, A\-Grooue and the literal: ly-titled Percussion Solos. Live,

Trouble Funk display the musical carnivorousness which makes GoGo so dynamic - they steal from everyone! Bits of rap and hip-hop are thrown in, along with sometimes-jazzy horn lines, Kraftwerk electronics and chunky rock ‘n’ roll guitar work. Go-Go has a distinct advantage when it comes to concerts because the bands are so large that there’s always something going on. With 10 members, Trouble Funk can present a constantly-changing melange of music and personalities on stage. The focus on stage is man-mountain Tony Fisher who plays bass and sings lead vocals. Sex appeal is provided by James every on keyboards and Robert Reed on guitar while trumpet player and singer Taylor Reed comes across as the clown. The import version of Say What! contains a bonus 12” single with 17 minutes of extra live material that is actually better than the stuff on the album. Still Smokin’ turns up in a version that’s both longer and considerably more intense than the one on Good To Go. The biggest priie in the whole ‘deal is the monster llminute rendition of the unbefuckinglievable It’s In The Mix (Don’t Touch That Stereo) - played as the encore at each of their shows in Toronto. It was the song that threw the whole crowd back into their dancing frenzy, just when soaked body screamed “no more, no more”. The band puts themselves through a strict workout regimen to train for the two-hour sets, so the unsuspecting crowd is at a distinct disadvan. tage. Trouble Funk, and Go-Go in general, might be too raw and untempered for most of the record-buying public. But for those who can appreciate the Go-Go beat, there’s no better way to party. Do yourself a favour: buy Say What!, invite a lot of people over, put the record on LOUD and have the party of the year.

Collecting by Chris Wodskou Imprint Staff When Hunters & Collectors first made their way onto North American video screens with Talking To A Stranger, they were immediately typecast as a diffi-cult band. Obsessively imagistic, but ultimately meaningless lyrics, spine-quivering bass, ‘and furious scratch-and-claw guitar dominated the great debut of three-plus years ago, but household name-status still eluded them. The flawed Fireman’s Curse and The Jaws of Life followed in somewhat the same vein of discordant sound, and the failure of these albums both commercially and critically apparently led to a change of direction for _ the band. Contrasting with earlier efforts, Human Frailty is a pretty straightforward pop album. John Archer’s incessantly thumping, meaty bass is still there as is the understated but hypnotically tribal percussion, but the guitar sound now approaches something resembling a jangle and Mark Seymour’s once only halfsung, breathless yelps now have more than a hint of gentleness and compassion. Not the almost purely industrial rhythm machine they once were, Hunters & Collectors now make well-crafted and well-produced songs even to the point of using Herb Alpert trumpet lines. The most radical shift in tone, however, is in-the softening of the far more accessbile lyrics. This shouldn’t be construed as meaning that they’ve become facile and have been making concessions to the Lionel Richie school of vapid escapism, but now the listener has some idea of just what it is they’re ranting about. The fascination with squalor is as evident as everwith lyrics of the order of, “I had to pay for it through the nose/To get into this tiny shiftless room/With the barbeater broken/And the stale chips in the oven/And the fly there on the table/With its legs stuck in the butterblock.” And just when you think it’safe to let down your defenses, Hunters and Collectors undercut your bed of roses with the attack of, “And if I don’t come home before midnight/and if I can’t find the keyhole in the dark/You’ll know that I’ve been tempted/You’ll know we’re drifting apart” (Everything’s On Fire). This Morning could even be a rewriting of Love Hurts were it not for the gorgeous string arrangements and the sudden charge into voodoo-drum stomper. For these ears, though, Human Frailty is something of a disappointment. The debut album was loud, excessive, and knew no restraint, but that is what made it great. Not mere bombastic noise, they took you on a trip all the more exhilirating by never quite knowing what they would do next. Their abandon is missed on this album, but the addictive guitar-vocal interplay on Say Goodbye, Dog, and Stuck On You

is a significant consolation. I spoke to a rather groggy John Archer about the new album and the problems the band has faced since their inception. . Was it hard to break out of the Melbourne scene and into the inA ternational market? Yeah, it was very tough. We spent six months in England in 1983 and .basically produced nothing whatsoever - except starvation. We toured America in 1983 - a very short tour but we did play Toronto as well - but that had little effect. Then the band broke up for a while and a few members reformed it. It’s now an eight-piece with a brass section instead of a nine-piece ensemble which is what it really was. Right now there seems to be quite a resurgence of Australian independent rock. Do your know very much about The Triffids or bands on the Citadel label

quotes from Au&e

14,1986

Hunters

like The Moffs or The Stems? There are a lot of good up and coming bands at the moment but whether or not they’ll make it up to North America, I don’t know. The Triffids are doing fairly well outside Australia which, is good. There are a couple of other bands that are working very hard outside Australia but whether they’re getting anywhere is another matter. The Scientists have achieved sorne,stature in Europe, but they’re not really big in their own country. The Celibate Rifles from Sydney are touring touring constantly. They’re not very big yet, but at least they’re making an effort and that’s important because Australia is so remote. It’s very easy to get locked into a very small circular path. The first album was pretty funky and at times verged on an industrial sound - what were your early influences? There are just too many to mention, but obviously we listened to whatever alternative stuff was around and we also listened to AM radio. It’s not as if we molded the band on anyone else’s style. Especially now. I think what we’re doing now is more personal to each member. The new album is quite a departure for your earlier stuff. How does this reflect the change the band members have undergone over the years? Naturally a lot. The production used to be left to the songwriter, but now it’s up to the whole band..1 think that the result is a lot less dross on the new album The sound and the songwriting seem a lot more straightforward. Yeah, well, I think ‘that’s quite a good progression to make. Our production has been more carefull, but I don’t think we’re quite happy with it yet. We don’t want to go after corporate production values, we just basically want it to sound good. I think it’s the logical step forward from Jaws of Life. .What were you trying to get across with the lyrics on earlier stuff like the debut album? (Laughs) Nothing, really. The lyrics now mean something. That’s another progression. They also seem to be a lot more concerned with relationships than they used to.. Yeah . . . Do you deliberately undercut romanticism and rosy scenarios with songs like Euerything’s On

Fire? Right, well, that> not one of my favourites, not one of the strongest songs on the album. Did you think that was the case with Throw Your

Arms

Around

Me?

No, that sounded pretty‘ straightforwardly romantic. Yeah, it’s pretty *up-front. The only unfortunate thing is that it’s not really typical of what we do. There seems to be a lot more restraint than on the first two albums. Was there a conscious effort to control the sound more? I think it’s-a lot more organized, it’s more structured. What our show was described as in Australia was a zoo burning down and I think that was pretty true. Although it was very chaotic, cathartic if you want, it was interesting only for a short time. The band became unwieldy because of its size and it was hard to keep everyone playing the same thing at’ once. It was very restricting. We reduced the band enough so that it will be more effective, it will have more range. It doesn’t mean we’ve wimped out by any means. In fact, I think you’ll find that our sound is a lot more powerful than it ever was, especially live. That still seems to be the only thing we consider ourselves to do well. I don’t think we do good production work or good albums necessarily, but we’re a good live

and monk-ey

by John Zachariah Imprint staff Sometime in the Middle Ages, Monk-in-training Adso (Christian Slater) and his wise mentor William of Baskerville (Sean Cannery) roll up at a mountaintop abbey in Italy just days before the start of a papal conference there. A spate of murders follow; most of the monks attribute them to The Beast, but William the pragmatist knows better. Adso, as an old man, narrates the story of how he and his master investigate and unravel the mystery of the dead monks, a mystery which -is solved when William and Ads0 enter the abbey’s huge and labyrinthine library, the most extensive in Christendom. The Name of the Rose, based on Umberto Eco’s novel, has been filmed so that the audience has the same experience which Adsa probably did. The variety of characters is fascinating, the abbey a strange yet exciting place. When the Inquisitor Bernard0 Gui (F. Murray Abraham) arrives at the abbey, Adso is filled with fear and later, desperation and horror; Bernard0 Gui has put a girl form a neighbouring village on trial for being a witch. No-one but William knows that she has been Adso’s lover. Slater conveys a fantastic gamut of emotions, and his performance is just as adept as Connery’s. AS for Connery, he plays his character quite well. William was once an Inquisitor himself, and would prefer to forget those times. His in-

vestigation (as his life) is governed by reason and common sense; both are being stifled by the ignorance and fear -perpetuated by the clergy. Though the brothers of William’s own order have a degree of respect for him, they also try to squelch his radical ideas, perhaps out of fear that the order will come under suspicion from the Inquisition.

After all that has been said and * done, what is there left to say about Balanchine? Pale blue tutus of Pas de Dix, the summery idylls of the Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux . . . it’s “pretty” . . . it’s “nice”. It looked like it was going to be another evening of classical balance and immaculate order judging by the first section of the Royal Winnipeg’s program. But then again, you can’t judge a performance until the curtain goes down for the Royal Winnipeg Ballet embraced many styles and moods: from the classics of George Balanchine< to the modern ballet heaviness of Maurice Bejart and the diversity of Brian Macdonald. I say “diversity” for a complete lack of a. better word partly because Macdonald’s Steps was choreographed to the music of three drastically different composers, R. Murray Schafer, Handel and Cevin Key and Nivek Ogre from Skinny Puppy. Schafer’s Sun provided the antiphonal background for dancers draped mummy-like in linen moving with the stark one-dimensional quality of

reliefs.

At this point, something really should be said about Josef Svoboda’s set design, so here it is - it was excellent. Combined with skillful lighting effects, the forest of taut wires was visually absorbing to the point of distraction. White lines of light shoot up the wires at different heights creating varying depths. Somewhere, dancers lurk in the patterns. In the second section, a patterned backdrop behind the wires creates a brocaded effect complementing the Handelian piece. Section III, entitled Rock. Dancers with Trojan hairstyles and gladiatorial combat suits invade the stag ewith their vicious flexibility and pelvic thrusts that could give you whiplash! Mad Max goes to the ballet! They are beyond cool. The three sections are barely related with the exception of some recurring vocabulary. A little puzzling, but it doesn’t really matter; if you don’t like the first section, there are two more to go. Each piece could exist on its own, a separate step in the evolution of dance expression.

The next two, placing as they do the process of writing and reading - a topical topic - in the foreground, might cement the case: “We see the buildings now on the hill just as the book says”; “‘Have you got the lemonade ready?’ asks chancellor Hrodka of his secretary. ‘Yes.’ ‘Chains?’ ‘That’s a typo. You mean chairs?“’ Crad even tells us bluntly that he wants in. “I’m hoping” (so goes the “Preface”) “that Pork College will become the hot new campus bestseller all across Canada and that I will be invited to read at all the college and universities and perhaps even be offered the post of.Writerin-Residence at some hotbed of intellectual ferment such as the University of Toronto.” (Shame on you, Crad, the (im)proper place for reverence and installation is U. of Waterloo where pig-tails are haute cuisine.

They recently renamed themselves from Youth Brigade, they have a new album The Qividing Line, featuring their new musical direction and they trotted into Toronto, Nov. 6 with their’new bass player and new haircuts. Another thing the band would like to change, though, is their string of bad luck when playing in Toronto. The city, which is actually their home town, has not been kind to them as their last two shows here had poor promotion, bad sound and low at tendance. As a result, The Brigade were not in a jovial mood when they took the stage after opening sets by Toronto’s Hype and Montreal’s The Nils.

‘Warriors have good shot a N’aismith b-ball win by Mike McGraw Imprint Staff

Homecoming is a rather festive time at the University of Waterloo, a weekend in which the university develops and expands its relationship with Waterloo alumni. The focus of Homecoming is the annual Naismith Basketball Classic, a tournament which has a prestigious history of providing a high caliber of basketball. The Naismith Classic was first held 19 years ago, and has traditionally featured all Canadian teams, more specifically various national champions and finalists. The draw always strives to include teams from all of the CIAU’s six conferences; this year sees four of these conferences represented. Periodically, teams from the far west williparticipate, however, this is not always financially feasible. In the first round of the tournament, Toronto battles Windsor, Concordia faces Laurentian, Winnipeg meets Ryerson, and Waterloo plays nearby rivals, Laurier. The tournament draw is normally based on the establish..ment of four seeds. This year, the seeds appear to be Toronto, Concordia, Winnipeg and Waterloo. When possible, the draw accom,modates requests made by certain teams who don’t want to play teams they’ve already faced in tournament play, and others who request certain starting times. The objective of the draw is also to separate teams from the same conference, leaving one to wonder why the Warriors are pitted against Laurier in the first round. Coach Don McCrae responded by noting that after all requests were honored, the only possibility was a UW-WLU match-up, due in part to the interuniversity rivalry. Here is a preview of the eight teams involved: TORONTO VARSITY BLUES: With 6'10" Ian Dodds, 6’9” Mark Harvey, and Mike Forestell, the Blues have the biggest size in the country. Should guard Fred Murrell decide to play this season, the Blues will be strong enough to dethrone York in the OUAA East and challenge for the national title. WINDSOR LANCERS: The Lancers are a relatively young team led by veteran guards Scott Thomas and Matt St.Louis. These guards are as accurate as any players in the country from 3-point field goal range, Traditionally, the Lancers play all preseason matches in the U.S.

Warriors

CONCORDIA STINGERS: The Stingers are led by All-Canadian Rob Latter. Along with Quebec all-star Greg Norman, Concordia has a l-2' punch to counter any team in Canada. LAURENTIAN VOYAGEURS: A sporadic team, the Voyageurs feature 6'7" OUAA East All-Star, Jeff McKibbon. Laurentian is the only.team in the upper bracket of the draw‘ who Waterloo has faced. The Warriors won that match, 83-62. WINNIPEG WESTMEN: The Westmen have a habit of playing close, thrilling games with Waterloo. The Warriors won by a point in regional playdowns last season, while Winnipeg triumphed earlier this month at home, 107-106. Finalists in the Naismith Classic two years ago, the Westmen have lost All-Ganadian Gord Tucker and G.P.A.C. All-Star Art Koop. However, with a balanced scoring attack from all positions they are presently undefeated in Canada. Key performers for the Westmen are Joey Vickery, Will Parker, and Trevor Johansson. RYERSON RAMS: After years of less than competitive play, the surprising Rams could rise as high as second in the OUAAEast, Their main threats include Kevin St.Kitts and centre-forward Jamie Voskuil. LAURIER GOLDEN HAWKS: The Hawks are a considerably different team from the one that upset the champion Warriors twice last season. Gone are Steve Forden, Bob Urosevic and Rene Luypaert, who have been replaced by a younger squad with great quickness. Laurier is led by Darren Syer -and Mark Smith. WATERLOO WARRIORS: The host-team has’ won eight Naismith titles, including the past three, and last four of five. Despite losing five outstanding players, the Warriors appear to be able to play against anyone. Paul Boyce is displaying AllCanadian form, supported’by the scoring of Rob Froese and Tom Schneider. Jamie McNeil1 and John Bilawey provide effective rebounding while Jerry Nolfi gives the team leadership. If you’re putting money on the tournament, look for Toronto and Concordia to win their opening round matches, while Waterloo and Winnipeg should meet in what could be yet another triple<digit battle. Students are reminded that as always, their season ticket passes will be honored, and will not have to be punched to accommodate Homecoming.

Using a combination of powerful offense and tight defense, the Waterloo Warriors stormed to victory at the 1986 Gryphon Basketball Classic last weekend at the University of Guelph. Led by the excellent play of tournament M.V.P. Paul Boyce, the Warriors roared past Ryerson and McMaster, before upending Queen’s in the championship game; 98-79. In a free-flowing, high scoring match, the Warriors defeated the much improved Ryerson Rams, 100-90. Waterloo’s Rob Froese turned in an amazing performance, netting 30 of his tournarnent total 61 points while hitting on 14 of 17 free throw at-

tempts. With the addition of tournament all-star Kevin St. Kitts, Ryerson has- greatly increased its front court strength. The Warriors intended on meeting Siena Heights from Michigan in the semi-final round. However, the American squad was upset 88-87 at the hands of McMaster in a close overtime battle. Waterloo led 48-, 40 at the half, but Mac pulled within four points in the second. With tough defense and efficient free-throw shooting, the Warriors prevailed, 85-72. ~ The championship final was supposed to feature Waterloo and the other Michigan entry, St.Mary’s. However, the surprisingly strong Queen’s squad edged the Americans 73-76 in their semi-final match.

Basketball Athenas cruise to easy win over Toronto’s Junior Raiders Nov. 8 by Glenn Hauer Imprint staff The Metro Junior Raiders are a club team composed of some of the best high school basketball players in the Toronto area. Most of these ladies participated in the Top 46 Program at Queen’s University this past summer and featured players such as 6’6” Merlin Lang, who practiced with the National Team as well. It was this type of competition that the Waterloo Athenas faced last Saturday at the PAC. However, the Athenas managed to dominate the game, running up a 7953 score against the Junior Raiders. A combination of excellent defensive rebounding by Waterloo and turnovers by the Raiders in the first five minutes set the tone for the rest of the match. The Athenas’ transition game was running very well, forcing the bigger Raider players to run a lot more than they are accustomed to. Merlin Lang and company just couldn’t keep up the pace and consequently were weak defensively, especially in ,the second half. The Athenas built up an 11 point lead at the half, and eventually settled for a comfortable 26 point margin at the end of the game. Every player except one scored for the Athenas. (and her name won’t be mentioned!!!!) Sheila Windle led with 16 points, followed by Cindy Poag and Corinna Lueg with 18 and 14 points respectively. Sue Stewart scored

16 for the Raiders, and the Athenas held the 6’6” Lang to seven points. This week promised to be a tough one for the Aihenas. They played Toronto Nov. 5 in an exhibition game and this weekend they are off to Laurentian to play in a round-robin tournament against Laval, Manitoba, and the

Much like Ryerson, Queen’s has a history of not being very strong. The championship was decided in the first half as the Warriors steamrolled to a commanding 55-33 halftime lead. Queen’s was worn down by the Warriors’ first half efforts in what head coach Don McCrae called “a solid display of basketball”. The second half was especially good for the freshmen in that all Warrior players saw action. Boyce’s dominating performance was highlighted by 54 points and 33 rebounds over the three games, while Froese’s efforts earned him a spot on the tournament all-star team. In addition. Tom Schneider and centre Jamie McNeil1 were

The Athenas have a chance to see where they stand in the top ten, hopefully coming out on top of some of these strong teams and proving that they belong in the Canadian basketball elite.

Furthermore, he said the team “is off to an exceptionally good start”, noting specifically their convincing victory in Guelph after the close defeat in Winnipeg. The Warriors travel to Montreal this weekend to take part in a tournament at McGill.

Hockey Warriors lose first I two df season to Mac & .U of T by Jonathan Imprint’staff

Sadleir

The Warriors dropped their first two of the season losing to U of T4-2 Friday (Nov. 7) and tp Mac 5-4 on Saturday. The first period of play against U of T looked promising as Toronto played sloppy hockey with an ineffective dump and chase routine. The Warriors on the other hand were firing some good puck on net but failed to beat the Toronto tender: The Warriors came out with a much more intimidating style of play in the second period. The hits were there but the finesse wasn’t as sloppy U of W puck clearing resulted in some excellent chances for U of T. At the halfway mark in the second period Waterloo was demonstrating some excellent end to end hockey as Dietrech was hooked out of

action to destroy a well worked for breakaway. Both teams were fizzling out around the net making the good drives but not following up with the shot. However, U of T finished the period in style scoring a well earned shorthanded goal. The third period was perhaps the most disappointing as Waterloo never really played to their full potential. The big hits never came until the last minute of play when things opened up somewhat and silly errors resulted in Toronto goals. Waterloo goals were scored by 2 from 15 and 14 from 9. Last Saturday marked the team’s departure for Hamilton to play Mac. The Mac facility leaves much to be desired as better quality ice can be found in the average Canadian backyard. The Warriors perhaps in an effort to make up for their lack of

aggression against U of T came out hitting as they pummelled a small Mac team physically. Wiggle and Balas were hitting. well and the shots were screaming from the points as Smith was wasting no time letting the shot go. However, some key defensive errors coupled with numerous breaks to clear the fog build up on the ice and the somewhat less than adequate officiating were to’ prove too much as the Warriors lost. It was a difficult loss as they played solid hockey in the third setting up excellent drives to the net but too often waiting for the perfect shot. Some extremely intense hitting was to prove not enough and Mab left the pond with a victory beating the Warriors 5-4.
