Imprint staff An ex-Waterloo visa student has fowarded a complaint of discrimination to the Canadian Human Rights Commission in Ottawa. The corn plaint is directed against the policies of the the ministry of employment and immigration. In a December 17 letter to the Human Rights Commission, Mariaurora Mota, a citizen of Mexico, charged that she had been subjectto discriminationon the basis of nationality from 1981 to 1986as a student at the University of Waterloo. Mota, who received a Masters in Xomputer Science in 1983as well as a Masters in Management Science in 1985, paid unemployment insu rance premiums from her monthly salary as a teaching assistant from 1981 to 1986.

"Exciting" course thretened by high student demand -

Chiming that administrative changes will hurt what is currently "an effective and exciting course," the Fall 1986 class of Drama 490E has petitioned the Faculty of Arts to preserve the structure of that course. The petition, drawn up jointly by the members of the class, drew 16 signatures. The W t e m old experimental course, calkd "Speech Communica-

E n a i n e e ~ aand in a workshop~nviron&ntin which each student is required to present several speeches, both prepared and impromptu, to the class. The course has received an enthusiastic response from its students, the Drama Department reports. The Faculty of Arts is considering changes to the course that would allow it to accommodate some 600 students, most from the Faculty of Mathematics. The math faculty is expected to recommend the course to all its students in the industry and commerce division, resulting in at least 600 studentsenrolling per year. That massive demand for the course may impair "the high quality learning experience presently avaihble," the petition says. The class says particular criteria must be satisfied if the course is to maintain its excellence, including that the size of the class be kept small. Brian Hamilton, a 4A Systems Desian student, was enrolled in the

ment. Class members were spending too much time listening and not enough time speaking, he said. "The class size was reduced to 20 [in the Fall] as a result of that feedback" Hamilton said. He said he f e a increased enrolment would lead to larger dasses and thus seriously erode the quality of the couw. ~--ltrbsDean Robin Banks, in re. sponse to the petition, said no changes to the course have yet been decided on as final. "If ways can be found to increase section size without detriment to the quality of the course, I think such methods should be tried," he said. The class also cites student interest and instructor enthusiasm as re. quirements for the course to remain successful. With students advised, or even required, to take Drama 490E, Hamilton said, a loss of interest and enthusiasm on the part of some students will subdue what is currently a spirited and energetic class. Hamilton describes course instructor Patricia Koenig as "an excellent teacher for motivating people. .. [and] getting across to the audience." But the petition claims that with increased demand, the course will suffer as "instructor enthusiasm will be impaired by teaching three sections of the same course, especially when feedback is extensively required." But Dean Banks denies that instructor interest will suffer, claiming that "instructom have often taught hree [similar]courses in the same term with undiminished energy and enthusiasm.

biotechnology; energy; oceans; food and agriculture; environmental toxicology and an “open” category. Waterloo received grants in all but the environmental toxicology area. Although the overall amount is down this year (from $3,753,702 one year ago) grants increased in the fields of food and agriculture, energy and the open category. According to Hadley, decreases in the other four areas were due to several factors; a number of very large grants to UW faculty members came to an end during the current year; fewer new awards were received and there was a 17 per cent decrease in both operating grants and grants to purchase new research equipment in the communications and computer area. “We don’t feel we’re hard done by,” she says. “Generally, no one has reacted strongly to the way they were treated.” UW will receive 15 new awards; there are also 26 renewals of ongoing grants. One request is still awaiting a decision. Waterloo will receive 8.3 per cent of NSERC’s total strategic grants budget. Hadley says tight funding has meant NSERC is unable to provide increases to ongoing grants and this is the second year in a row which such grants have failed to receive an increase to counter inflation. One of the larger grants ($160,846) is to develop a work station for computer graphics specialists. Another large project involves $135,000 for VLSI (very large scale integration) research - key to the development of modem microchips. Funding will be provided for six other computer projects, six energy projects, six biotechnology projects, one ocean project and four food and agriculture projects, including one involving strategies for delaying the ripening of fruit. There are eight pro jects in the industrial materials and processes area and eight grants in the open category, including $125,000 to study the use of clay deposits as barriers to the spread of underground pollution.

Student apathy saps strength of UW’s Federation by Steve Kannon Imprint staff The election of a new Federation of Students executive is bound to be one of the most protracted news items this term at UW. For better or worse, we will all be exposed to some form of campaigning by existing Feds seeking re-election and by would-be Feds looking for a place in CC 235. Most of the campaigning will doubtlessly be comprised of the traditional boosterism and platitudes associated with elections, especially student elections. And, most certainly, the vast majority of students on campus, following in the footsteps of the immortal Rhett Butler, won’t give a damn. Student apathy - for which Waterloo is legendary - seems to go handin-glove with elections. This phenomenon is partly the students’ fault, as most fail to recognize the importance of the student government. But the elected representatives and the system they work in are also to blame. Simply put, student politics are boring because many Federation reps have let the system decline to that point. Sure most of the Federation work, such as the daily operations of the Bombshelter, is routine and mundane, but student government means much more than keeping such activities functioning. Yet these services - admittedly an important part of campus life -and the ability to be peppy seem to be the standards by which many within the Federation measure success: refraining from boat-rocking and remaining unobtrusive equals a job well-done. It is this mentality which has stifled the political nature of student government. And, in allowing this line of thought to become the norm, the Feds have done UW students a great disservice by decreasing the political power of the student body. Services, special events and cheerleading are nice - maybe even important - but such things could and would exist without a political structure. It is the role, indeed the mandate, of student government to go beyond this elementary level to act as the political representatives of UW students. Of foremost importance should be the desire to act as watchdogs, protecting students’ interests in administrative issues. UW’s administration has proven self-serving in the past; a politically-strong student government, long-missing, is what students here need most. Elected representative, by virtue of their offices, have the right and the obligation to challenge every questionable move made by university administration and faculty. The current Federation trend has neutralized the effectiveness of U W politics to the point where the students don’t care what goes on anymore. A stagnant leadership is greeted with apathy by the students and with open arms by the administration, who must see the situation as the next best thing to no government at all. Those students seeking nominations for the upcoming elections might be wise to run their campaigns on real political issues. All those would-be Feds should be prepared to serve as legitimate representatives, willing to force the administration and faculty to follow the will of the students this institution is supposed to be serving. Anyone looking to pad a resume or coast along on a title need not apply.

Just another game just another fight 1 .

by Gord Durnin Imprint staff Was it just another hockey game? Just another fight, another example of athletes getting hot under the collar last week in Czechoslovakia at the world junior amateur hockey tournament? Clearly it -was not. Clearly it is not taken as such either. The deep concern expressed by the International hockey commission and our our own minister of sport, Otto Jelinek, ought to be applauded and encouraged. But one must still be extremely alarmed already at the direction with which interpretation of this-brawl is going. What we are seeing is another crystalline example of the politics of sport. All of us are aware, at least at a subconscious level, that we take victory in international sport, however irrational it is, to ,be a reflection of our worth as a people, a society, a political body, an nation. If we win ’ at hockey, we must be winning in the great game of nationhood. Those

are not just hockey players on the ice, they are Canadian and Russian hockey players. they are Canada and the Soviet Union. When they started fighting, it was Canada and the Soviet Union fighting. Who started it becomes a very very important question in that light. And it is an important question as we have seen. Both of our nations prestiges have been put on the line. It is the reason that the fight has become ‘such a media item, why every conversation from the corner of Weber and University to the boardrooms of the Cooper hockey equipment company and the Canadian cabinet have taken on the air of self-righteous nationalism “They started it, we finished it” -even before we get the real verdict or before all the facts are known. There is no point dwelling on “who done it” here. For those of us ‘who have even an inkling of what was involved because we were watching the game on TV, we can come to no conclusion. We did not

staff “Be absolutely assured’ that anyone who talks about disarming this society without simultaneously talking about changing the standard of living in this country is talking a pipe dream. Luxury property rights can only be protected, kept from the people who do not have the necessities of life, by the sword. When 1 have more than enough to live, and someone else does not have enough to live, literally, physically live, the only way 1can keep that person off my back is with a gun.”

Those words by Fr. Emmanuel Charles C. McCarthy have been ringing in my ears for the past month since I .first read them. They have been ringing in my ears as New Years commentary examined the likelihood of successful arms limitations talks between the great powers. Those words ring in my ears as news from South Africa suggests that country has, or is about to obtain nuclear weapons capability. . In South Africa the luxury property rights of some, side by side with the enforced poverty of others is grotesquely apparent to everyone except - apparently - a majority of South African whites. We damn the South Africans for apartheid, the principle of “separation of peoples”. But are we not, 1 wonder sometimes, damning ourselves? A couple of lines of scripture keep ringing in my ears too as 1 ponder this one. !‘Judge not that ye may not be judged. For the standard you use to to judge others will be used to judge you.” We judge the white South Africans for living in plenty when their neighbours are poor. But, are we not also guilty? Who is our neighbour? Does not the category neighbour, at least in Christian teaching, encomhave a perfect picture of the whole ice surface, let alone what was going on inside the heads of the players and coaches. We are left with a lot of speculation still. Those of us who did not watch the game can not even speculate. Yet concluded and s,peculate we do. And that is the alarming thing. We have to seriously examine the unravelling and exposure of this psychology of ours that puts ‘so much stock, so much national pride, into a sport, let alone the sport of ice hockey. Why is it we are so concerned about this thing? Why has hockey become a symbol of Canadian pride? Why is it that there is almost Univer,sal relief in, Canada when we hear that ‘the Russians started it? More importantly, why are we so willing to believe that the

pass the entire human race? Are not the poor throughout the Third World as much our neighbours as anyone else? The white South Africans defend their “right to selfdetermination”. So do we, and so does almost every country. Of course to Afrikaaners, the right applies largely to whites only. But if we ignore national boundaries for a hypothetical look at the philosophical foundation of this argument we find a serious problem. If not for national boundaries, the Afrikaaner attitude to Blacks in their country is identical with that of, say Americans (or Canadians?) vis-a-vis the Third World. Each people defends its right to live in luxury and denies responsibility or accountability to the world’s impoverished majority. In the U.S. and Canada, of course, the “rich people” are contained rather precisely by the boundaries of a nation state. The “poor majority” lives outside those boundaries. In South Africa the poor majority lives within internationally recognized borders. But except for the borders, what is the difference between the attitudes of White South Africans toward the poor and our attitudes toward the poor. South African whites arm themselves against the Blacks, and Americans arm themselves against the world. “Luxury property rights can only be protected, kept from the people who do not have the necessities of life, by the sword. When I have more than enough to live, and someone else does not have enough to live, literally, physically live, the only way 1can keep that person off my back is with a gun.” And in a moral and ethical sense, does it really make any difference where on planet earth that someone else lives?

A Diffkrent Liqht -Looking by Chris Gerrard (a pseudonym) Imprint staff Well, here it is. 1987! It’s another year. 1’11have to get used to writing a new set of numbers on assignments, notes, rent cheques, and so on. It’s another term with all its ups and downs. The Christmas break is over. And it’s only how long until reading week? I’ve been doing a little looking back, and looking forward over the holidays. I kind of liked 1986. It was an interesting year, 1986 was the year that I “came out”, more or less completely. 1986 was the year that I changed my career. It was the yea,r that saw the death and rebirth of the relationship with my lover. 1986 was the year of Bill 7. And 1986 was the year 1 started writing this column. That is quite a lot to have happen all in one year! Bill 7 promises to make things interesting. The new anti-discrimination laws for Gays will have to be tested in the courts and with the public. Many people were celebrating after the passage of the bill, and it was certainly something to celebrate! I still have some reservations as to just how much the new law will change. Law does not change minds - it gives the opportunity .to change minds. I think that it is very important that Gays do not adopt the attitude of “well, the law is protecting me now, so I don’t have to fight anymore, and that’s that”. Let us not get too comfortable with-where we are just because we’ve won one little battle. The rest of the war is still out in front of us just waiting to be fought. The general pub’lic still needs to know so much more about us before we can really feel “at home” in society. ’ 1986 was such a learning experience for me. I learned about myself. I also learned an awful lot about Gay people, Gay issues, and Gay politics. This column may have taught you folks a thing or two that you did not know before about Gay people, but it was one of the biggest educational experiences for me last term (perhaps to the detriment of some of my “official” learning experiences - I await my transcript). And so I look forward to a new term, and a new year, to continue this experience. In 1987, I’ve decided to try and stop yelling at all you oppressive straight people out there (just kidding), and talk a little more about issues and concerns close to my heart, now and from my past. I hope that as you read what 1 write, you will be able to identify somewhat with me. My biggest hope is that you will see that sexual orientation does not make a person, but is only part of a person. I want to be able to live my life as who I am, without fear of rejection, or physical, emotionaI,‘mentaI, or financial harm. I don’t want to be persecuted just because I love a man and not a woman. Hopefully, Bill 7 will do what it is supposed to do. I also want to share some of my experience and searching with other Gay people, to maybe help them find answers to questions that I have had for a long time. 1 think that that is important. Mankind needs to do a little more sharing and helping of ‘his’ neighbours, and a little less competing with them. So Happy New Year, everyone, and welcome back! Here’s to a good term, a happy and prosperous year (1 sound like a greeting card), and to a peaceful world in 1987. Cheers!

Coulston

A pirate was captured by Alexander the Great, who then asked him how he dared molest the sea. “How dare you molest the whole world”, replied the pirate. “Because I do it with a small ship only, I am called a thi.ef; you, doing it with a great navy, are called -? an Emperor.” By stibstitufing the words “terrorist” for “thief’, and “state” for “emperor”, we turn St. Augustine’s Fourth Century tale into an accurate description of modern terrorism. This is not reflected in the media’s portrayal of terrorism. Terrorism can be broadly defined as any act of violence against civilians which is undertaken for the attainment of political goals. Many acts that meet these criteria, however, do not set iabelled as terrorism. The Libyan government, for example, is said to be engaging in state terrorism, while Israeli bombing of Palestinian refugee camps is considered something altogether different. Where is the real distinction? Are these not both violent acts against civilians, conducted for political ends? By giving aid to the PLO, who are fighting to regain what they consider to be their homeland, the Soviet Union is seen in the West to be supporting terrorism. The Reagan administration, by comparison, describes the Nicaraguan Contras as “Freedom Fighters” as it

furnishes them with the arms necessary to attack villages. One might suggest that the only distinction is that enemies are terrorists while allies act in self-defense. But is there any real difference between the acts of a guerrilla and ,a “freedom iighter” or the consequences of their actions? Or are we merely inclined, due to our own biases or media influences, to inake false distinctions? This t$o;ught-provoking quesiio’h ‘will be the subject of an evening discussion by celebrated. international affairs columnist, Gwynne Dyer on January 20. Born and raised in Newfoundland, Gwynne Dyer received his Ph.D. in war studies from the University of London. He has served in the Naval reserves of three countries and taught at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst U.K. and at the Canadian Forces College in Toronto. Since 1973 , Mr. Dyer has been an international affairs analyst with a syndicated column published in 200 newspapers in 50 countries. He has written and produced 10 films for the National Film Board of Canada; a sevenpart series entitled WAR and, more recently, three films’ on the Defence of Canada. His familiarity with international affairs, military experience and media accomplishments uniquely qualify Gwynne Dyer to discuss what is perceived to be terrorism and how it is acted upon. This event, which promises to be stimulating and controversial will take place on January 20, at 8 p.m. in the Humanities Theatre. Admission is $2, $1 for Feds.

Vegetarian Club gears up by Kathy

Marsman

The Vegetarian Club of University of Waterloo is a very new club to the kampus scene. If you didn’t know there was one, don’t feel uninformed . . . we came into existence in September of 1986. This fall’s memberships brought in close to 70 members, and our numbers are increasing. Memberships are $2.50 for students and $5 for non-students. Memberships are valid for a year. We hve found a vast diversity in the kinds of people in the club.

Let’s talk about .‘. . , Few of the columns I write for Imprint have a purpose. This one does. Its purpose is to protest the severe cutbacks in library user services and access, and to inquire into the attitude behind it. The facts are these: on December 24 both the, Dana Porter Arts Library and the EMS,Library closed their doors and stopped all services (includb ing the bookdrop near the kiosk).’ They remained closed until January 5. This occurred despite the fact that graduate students, foreign students, scholars from various faculties, and serious readers like myself remained on campus and read books (or intended to read books) throughout the holidays.. Why - I ask myselfwould a major university close its library facilities for nearly two weeks? Could not at least a reading room, and stacks, have been left open? Are funding cutbacks so severe, or employee relations so strained, or administration policies so cavalier that library facilities must close down tight between terms? I I imagine a scenario in which a student has been under the gun of course-loads and deadlines for three months. While using the library to research term-papers, this student stumbles upon various books that look interesting, but there’s just not time to read them. Hmm, the student says, between terms I’ll read that . . . Not at UW, you won’t! Ormyowncase.. . I came to books late. My first utterances weren’t multi-lingual, like those of Wilhelm Humboldt (the last man reputed to have mastered all knowledge). Nor did I as a toddler say, as the three year-old John Stuart Mill did when he cut his finger: “Mother, is it oxyhemoglobin or carboxyhemoglobin?” But I do love books, so much so that I once contrived to get myself locked in the Queen’s University library over a weekend (I hadn’t counted on it being a long weekend . . .). If some UW student, a lover of books, hid out in the stacks when the doors were shut December 24, he would have emerged a skeleton, though a wise skeleton, on January 5. In And Sleep In The Woods (Doubleday, 1978), I wrote the following: “I have always respected libraries and librarians; they are the storehouses ‘of knowledge and the wardens of fame. Not until the 16th Century were books unchained from the wall, and with the lending of books came the ‘liberation of man. Until the Reformation the only way to be learned was to resort to monkery or magic, or, as Euripides is said to have done, lock oneself in underground stacks for 10 years. Now a man can,.with a library ‘card that he can have for the asking, explore the limits of knowledge with the greatest minds of the past and bring light out of the darkness of his own mind.” I still feel that way. And, much as I love Nature, I would not want to return to a state of nature, without books. On several occasions, a book has literally changed my life. (One of those books was the Bible; another was Heidegger’s Sein und Zeit.) While I’ll admit I’m an extreme example, I think it highly likely that, of the 14,500 full-time undergraduate students and the 1,300 full-time graduate students at UW, there must have been a few who planned touse the library between terms! . While we’re at it, I might mention this. If the Dana Porter Arts Library continues to lose books, the reason is not hard to find. The guard at the door goes off duty at 11:30 p.m., or thereabouts; the library shuts its doors at 12. Through that gap and in that hour, books get lost. Students have shown me books they “borrowed” from the library. That was how and when they borrowed them. 1 The borrowed books I’ve seen have been returned, and I encourage anyone with contraband books to return them to the library, which, we hope, will not close down between terms in future.

Racism is a bigger problem in Canada than most of us care to admit: surveys show that about one. half of the population holds discriminatory attitudes. “About 15 per cent of Canadians are hardcore racists, there’s not much we seem able to do for them,” says Jack Kehoe, a professor of so. cial and education studies at the University of British Columbia. “Then there’s another 35 per cent who have prejudices that can be changed,” he adds. Of the remaining Canadian population, national surveys indicate 35 per cent are fairly tolerant, while the final 15 per cent are classified as “very tolerant.*’ Kehoe, who has devoted 20 years to researching how race relations can be improved, was the study director for the federal task force on visible minorities in Canada, which developed the eight broad-based, farreaching recommendations published in its 1984 report Equality \ Now. The task force’s recommendations include: creating a ministry of multiculturalism; encouraging affirmative action hiring programs; and redressing the mistreatment of Japanese Canadians during and after, World War II. But Kehoe’s special interest has always concentrated on how education and the schoo! system can con front racism and foster tolerance in Canada’s coming generations - research indicates children develop an awareness of race by the age of three or four, and may develop prejudices by the age of five. In general terms, better educated people tend to be less racist, as reflected in attitude tests. Kehoe thinks better educated people are “more able to look at the test and think ‘I know how they want me to respond - they’re measuring my attitudes toward East Indians’,” so they select a non-racist response. ’ The other reason better educated people may be less prejudiced is because they’ve made it, so they don’t need a scapegoat.” says Kehoe. The results are more significant, however, for programs designed specifically to promote posifive attitudes within multicultural, multiracial elementary school groups. Progrms conducted in Toronto, which included role-playing, folkdancing and games to improve race relations, showed a dramatic effect on the attitudes of white children in Grades 5 and 6 toward their schoolmates of East Indian descent. After the program, the’percentage

of white students who said they would let the other group live in Can. ada rose from 76 to 94 per cent; the number allowing a family of East hdian descent to live next door rose from 49 to 79 per cent; and those accepting members of the other group as best friends moved from 41 to 60 per cent. As for dealing with racist incidents in the classroom or playgrounds, school boards in Toronto and Vancouver now have guidelines for teachers and Kehoe says he doesn’t see any major difficulties in implementing them. “I say to the teachers - look, if you were out on the playground and saw a student spitting in the face of another student you know what you would do. “So take the perpetrator down to the principal’s office -and indicate in no uncertain terms that this is unacceptable behaviour; it just will not be tolerated in this school,” says Kehoe. “We also advocate the. victim be provided with support,” he adds, recommending the teacher apologize for the incident and assure the child the behaviour is condemned by other students and staff. For individuals with persistent racist behaviour, Kehoe recommends calling both the student and parents into the principal’s office. “Even if the parents continue to express racist attitudes at home, they are at least in the position of having to say to their kid ‘when you go toschool, for God’s sake, don’t be calling people racist names. We don’t want to be called in by the principal any more’ .” Eric Wong, race relations consultant for the Vancouver school board, agrees with Kehoe’s recommendations for response to racist incidents. “In our statement of philosophy, it is made clear we do not condone discriminatory or prejudicial behaviour - some people might take that as obvious but it is not obvious to some students,” he says. Wong says expressions of racial intolerance can be attributed to the developmental stage of children. “At a young age, children tend to have less tolerance for differences based on sight and sound,” says Wong, comparing this to an inability to deal with strange foods. “The younger child may tell you: ‘I am happy with my peanut butter and jelly sandwich and I don’t want to try anything else’,” he says. Kehoe agrees on the importance of taking developmental stage into consideration when designing programs to foster tolerance. “There’s a cause of prejudice called inadequately developed cognitive and perceptual ability - what

Ontario schools challenge brewers ning this sponsorship would result in a huge loss of advertising revenue, he said Chapman said the McMaster administration made it easier by reimbursing the athletics department with money it lost by initiating the policy. Toronto’s Ryerson Polytechnical Institute two years ago adopted a similar policy by restricting the advertisements from beer companies. “We have gone away from that because we didn’t want to a reliance on sponsorship from beer companies,” said Chuck Matthews, Ryerson assistant athletics director. “lf they pulled out we’d be stuck, so’we basically have gone on our own and tried to stay with the policy.” Rather than refusing brewery sponsorship, U of T has tries to ,ensure that beer company promotions are “tasteful” and don’t involve lifes. tyle advertising, said Eric McKee, U of T vice-president for student affairs.

But Banks acknowledges that sections of the course which preserve the diverse backgrounds of thestudents should be provided. Such en rolment across different faculties was one of the concerns of the class. “A cross-section of students from Math, Arts, Engineering, and Independent Studies created a more realistic speaking situation and dynamic group,” the class said. “We feel that this was one of the most important aspects of the course and barriers between faculties were broken in a way we had not experienced before.” Hamilton said the situation is already eroding with only four arts students enrolled in the course this term. The publicity the course received, he said, seemed to suggest the course was business oriented, leading to a higher concentration of math and engineering students. He suggests that two different courses are actually required Drama 490E as it exists now, and a course for business and engineering students on technical speaking rather than general public speaking. “Math has a legitimate need, but a different need . . . If they want a technical speaking cour%e, [the Department of] Drama [could] act- as consultants. . . There should be two different types of speech course.”

Styrofoam tomatoes and bankruptfarms 4 --by Tom Green Imprint staff . Have you enjoyed a tomato lately? If you bought one in the supermarket, you might have noticed how perfect it was. It was unblemished, with an even red colour, and identical to all the other tomatoes. But it tasted well, like moist Styrofoam. You’ve just enjoyed one of the benefits of biotechnology. The modern tomato was developed to meet the needs of agribusiness. It was designed so that all tomatoes would ripen simultaneously when exposed to a certain gas. It was designed to withstand handling by mechanical pickers to replace workers. But it wasn’t

designed to taste good. Biotechnology is basically the engineering of life in order to develop useful characteristics. The Canadian Business Magazine defined it as, “mate science with business and you get biotechnology, where life is rebuilt and sold for profit.” Biotechnology is in the process of transforming medicine, agriculture, and food industries, the production of energy and chemicals. It can be used to make food from waste wood, to make new drugs, new life forms, and new products for biological warfare. Its implications range from beneficial to ominous. In 1984, The Wall Street Journal reported

that Soviet scientists were working on splicing genes which produce snake, scorpion and honeybee venom into common viruses or bacteria, which would then become highly potent biological weapons of mass destruction. Butbiotech’s daily implications are far more mundane. ~ “A number of people are getting nervous about biotechnology,” concedes Murray Moo-Young, di‘rector of the UW Industrial Bio-. technology Centre, “but in my opinion based primarily on ignorance.” “When they hear that we are manipulating different kinds of life forms that we’re not 100 per cent sure can’t get out into the atmos-

phere,” some- people oppose projects. But Moo-Young feels that most believe that “all civilization is based on moving forward in certain tests, in the gaining of knowledge, in trying to benefit the general good .” Some environmental risks are acceptable given the advantages of the new technology. The possibility of environmental damage is serious. Two plant scientists in New Zealand tried to modify a fungus which grew on the roots of pine trees, in order to make the fungus fix nitrogen to enhance tree growth. During lab tests, the treated seedling died unexpectedly. The scientists destroyed all the seedlings to stop the fungus from escaping into the

,environment. What would have happened if the fungus had escaped can only be speculated, but widespread pine forest death is not out of the question. Lee Rogers believes that even if environmental effects are acceptable, the social consequences are not. He is the lawyer representing the Washington-based Foundation ,on Economic Trends, which man‘aged to shut down large segments of the U.S. biotech program. “We can, unwittingly in the belief that technology is neutral and tool-like, build technical forms of work, schooling, transport .. . “ without considering their implications, “and then marvel at how ‘unthinking and robot-like we have become,“-Rogers told an audience at UW. Rogers cites the example of research into a “supercow.” By introducing genetically engineered human growth hormones into the cow embryos, cattle can be induced to grow much larger than naturally, making it produce milk more efficiently. A U.S. Office of Technology Assessment document predicts that such super-cows would favour the large farms and bankrupt up to 73 per cent of existing dairy farms. Rogers questions how society determines that such a move is “In this case it was appropriate. continued

bureaucrats with input from business and science who decided, not congress and certainly not”‘ the public or farmers, those most affected. But Rogers sees hope. Because biotechnology is still in its infancy, he believes society still has a chance to determine a direction rather than blindly following science. But the public must act quit kly . Russel Legge, acting director of the Society, Technology and Values program at UW, doubts society will effectively regulate biotee hnology . “Biotechnology will go ahead regardless because our system is based on economic viability,” Legge said. “In principle our economic system is controlled by a political one, but since the electorate is not informed politicians can’t represent them.” The Science Council of Canada predicts $180 billion in sales will be generated within 10 years. With such incredible prospects, it will be tempting for scientists and engineers to carry out projects without giving adequate considera. tion to larger implications. “Our future depends upon an effective educational system that make the populace in general aware, of the consequences of decisions being made on their behalf,” Legge said. Currently, the educational system is not meeting this need. For Legge, the implications of biotechnology are more than societal. It will change our understanding of what it is @be-a human being. “As a biologist if I look at you I know I could have altered your life and made you something different ,” Legge explained. Moo-Young feels that the problem with the ethical debate is that “it almost sounds like a religion. It all. depends on what kind of I

religious background you’re coming from. “I appreciate that the philosophers and the ethical people are way up on this and that they should ask questions - we need this balance. But I hope that we won’t throw out the baby with the bath water.” Moo-Young constantly emphasizes the positive aspects. New drugs, foods, industrial processes “will greatly benefit society‘ and will far outweigh negative impacts,” as was the case with nuclear, chemical and computer technologies, Moo-Young believes. He trusts it will be applied so as to minimize consequences. “We would not allow something like the supercow to wipe out farmers in one fell swoop. It would probably be an evolutionary thing, if indeed it were desirable. If consumers want bigger cows, and therefore need fewer farmers, farmers will not be wiped out overnight.” But consumers did not ask for a tasteless tomato. Why would they ask for a bigger cow? The driving force is more often business, attempting to increase profits. Moo-Young discounts the idea that as a society we have been unable to regulate the development of technology to protect society’s interests. “I think we have been successful in controlling technology. A lot of us owe our nutrition almost exclusively to canned soup and canned beans.” Moo-Young points out that there have been very few cases of poisoning from spoiled cans. We have controlled the technology sufficiently to avoid spoilage. “All of the Third World would be wiped-out tomorrow if we didn’t have canned foods. They don’t have have enough food to go around so to supplement some of the foods we have canned foods that they could store.” Moo-Young grew up in Jamaica where mostly bananas and sugar

cane were grown and this was not nutritionally sufficient. “I had to eat my Campbell’s soup when I was a kid or I’d be a nit wit bynow.” Legge feels that it is necessary to look at such issues more in depth before deciding if technology has actually helped. Food problems are a good example of where powerful technologies might be used as a technical fix, leaving underlying problems intact. “It’s much more.fun to play around with organisms and create new life forms which can feed more people, even though it is usually very expensive, than it is to work hard ensuring that, for example, there is an equitable food distribution system,” Legge said. “Are we educating students at Waterloo with very fine technical training but without giving enough attention to social values?” Legge asks. Graduates might then place too much emphasis on technical fixes. To address this problem the university created the Society, Technology and Values program. “At some point in the future, no student could graduate from Waterloo without considering the implications of their. work on society.” The first STV course started this term. ’ Graduate students under MooYoung’s supervision don’t have courses dealing specifically with ethics and social implications of their work. “I don’t see why they should,” said Moo-Young. “Many areas have these problems,” like computers. “It’s built into courses - we don’t give a credit in this aspect, and there aren’t questions on the exam, but we discuss it.” Is such discussion amongst peers, or even courses under the STV program sufficient? What of allowing public input into decision! which will affect them. After all, the public supports the university - should not the university be accountable to the. public? I

With universities and industry developing close ties with private industry, it will soon be impossible to pry them apart or to suggest that co-operation can be damaging. At Waterloo, for instance, announcements of “joint university-industry” projects are almost a daily occurrence. How will we insure that the university serves mankind and not capital? When the people of Cambridge Massachusetts learned that Harvard was creating new life forms in their labs, they began to worry. A committee was formed to pressure the university and politicians to allow public scrutiny, Legge explained. The public interest groups were sufficiently strong to have a statute passed prohibiting the operation of factories based on . biotechnology. Moo-Young was a consultant to 1 the committee. “They are lay people - housewives, secretaries, whatever - and I guess I’ve got to give them credit, for they wanted to know more and more.” Moo-Young believes “they might live to regret it, because states like California allow biotechnology.” Employment there is expanding. According to Moo-Young, people in Massachusetts might soon say,” lets wake up, people are happy (in California), they have employment. Why don’t we have it here? “While we are having these kinds of debates, the Japanese are moving ahead and putting into place biotechnology, and we are buying their products.” MooLYoung does not understand the current suspicion directed toward biotechnology. “A lot of our processes is just trying to learn from nature, a speeding up of natural processes.” Legge, however sees a fundamental difference between evolution and genetic manipulation. “With natural selection there are certain possibilities. With recombi-

banuary

nant DNA techniques we can override nature to our own ends. There is a certain violence exercised against nature.” The problem is compounded when we manipulate nature for profitable ends which are not those of the larger community. Whatever the implications of biotechnology, so far the public has enthusiastically consumed its products. In England, a firm has been making “Salisbury non-meat pie” from dead micro-organisms, or perhaps more appetizingly referred to as single-cell protein substitute. Demand has far ,outstripped production capabilities. “It has a high protein content, is equally nutritious, and with flavors and texturizing you can’t tell the difference,” Moo-Young explained. Perhaps farmers have less to fear from the supercow than from the lowly bacteria. Whatever the positive and negative aspects of biotechnology, it is currently forging ahead. As a society, we have yet to decide which aspects of biotechnology should be curtailed and which should be developed. Business, universities and consumers are fueling the biotechnology race. “Have we not reached a juncture,” asks Lee Rogers, “at which a ‘free’ society and a ‘directed’ genetic engineer might be preferable to a ‘free’ genetic engineer and a ‘directed’ society?” Biotechnology will present society with a challenge perhaps greater than any technology has ever before. It will affect the things we grow, raise, eat, make, our environment, and the way we look at ourselves. But while scientists and engineers are addressing the challenges of developing biotechnology, society is not addressing the challenges biotechnology confronts us with. If we want to decide its direction, we have no time to waste. If we don’t, are we pi&inggenetic roulette with the future?

Blood In The Saddle wins converts on Canadian tour by Pete’Lawson Imprint staff

Concluding a Canadian tour which saw Calgary, Winnipeg, London, Guelph, the “Soo”, and Hamilton - at the RPM club (Toronto) on Dec. 18, Blood In The Saddle received a strong reaction from their first Canadian tour. Though they had seen action on the Canadian West coast two years ago, this grotty roots band from L.A. has been but a name to most Canadian ears. After their debut here they have won converts. Having been hailed as one of the groups which spawned Cow Punk (the other noteworthy band - Rank and File), they sound is best cliched as “electric urban bluegrass”. This handle of bluegrass arises from the lightning licks of Greg Davis on electric guitar. Davis revealed that his secret to fast fingers developed during his street days in New Orleans, where he learned his charged licks from a bluegrass banjo picker. Some of the most lasting musical. influences came from the southern Appalachian with the singers Rostoe Holcombe, Dot Boges and Clarence Hashley, who sang that

“hills kinda music”. Though the band acknowledges the influences of the Blasters and the Cramps, they deliberately chose different directions from these bands. Instead of playing unbridled rockabilly or good old stompin’ rock, they tackle Western (like Rawhide - yes kids D.K. has done that one), bluegrass, and traditional folk tunes. Singer Annette Zilinskas, referred to two traditional numbers Banks of the Ohio and I wish 1 was a Single Girl Again that make their way into their sets, but certainly played with an untraditional thrash. Zilinskas performed with the Bangles until joining the Saddles in 1983. She was a part of the Bangles crew which received disdain for their opening act performance for the English Beat here in Waterloo waaaayyyy back when. But she is completelyforgiven because she confessed a love for rockabilly (God bless her and maybe Gene, Eddie, Buddy, Johnny, and Elvis will do the same). Ron Botelho (drums) and Hermann Sennac (bass) complete the Saddles team. Having spent time in the L.A. bar scene thrashing out

slopy rock’ roll or punk, the three males began this unit and by the ‘83 hardcore heyday in L.A. were opening for. hardcore faves like Circle Jerks. Their music supplies cre’ dence to the Cow Punk label, at times faster than that famous West coast thrashing sound. On vinyl, they are available only on import because the major label they are connected with has little interest in moving them abroad. Two records are available on the Sweat Beats label (west coast indie) and they appeared on a European compilation with the likes of D.K. Poison Love was their album released six months ago, and they plan to return to the studio shortly to drive out an album which is to be less polished, more live. What sums up the position of the Saddles is the closing comments that people (like Imprint types) who seek old rockabilly, blues or soul must pay the price to buy this American music on English or European imports. Greg Davis replies, “NO shit, tell me something I don’t already know. ” Because the Saddles are bigger in Europe and England than they are in their own backyard.

UW Poe try book planned For the last year, the Creative Arts Board has envisioned a published volume of on-campus poetry and prose. As we all know, completion of large projects require careful planning, dedication, and above all, hard work. This year, because of several favourable factors, we can expect this project to become a reality ‘on the campus bookstore shelves. Together with the Creative Arts Board, poetry editors Peter McPhee and Ian Ropke promise us a fine collection of university writing. Peter McPhee is a fourth-year math student who-has been writing and performing poetry for several years. Peter’s work can be found in the summer edition of The New Quarterly and he reads regularly in the Southern Ontario area. LIan Ropke is a third-year electrical engineering undergrad who has recently returned from a two-year stay in Japan. Ian was quite active in the literary scene of Kyoto, Japan and founded a small on-campus poetry group last September. imprint: Generally the University of Waterloo is thought of as a very technical school. How tg~~this influence the poetry

Editors: This university seems to be especially silent in the poetic sense because of its dominant technical nature. But this does not mean that there is no poetry written but rather that there is a fear of communicating it to others. You might say poetry is not cool, at least not among one’s peers. Because of this, most of these intense thoughts and feelings which might otherwise be communicated openly become forced out on private notebooks across campus. We are attempting to draw out these creative thoughts and feelings and give them the validity they deserve. Publishing them raises them to the public level and ‘provides a medium for communicating to the student body. Amongst students who, let’s face it,.are under great stress and often alienating circumstances, poetry can be very soothing. Are there many from the technical ical disciplines?

Quantity yes.

contributions or mathemat-

is not really an issue, but

What are some of the ideas behind the poetry book?

Basically we would like to provide an outlet or an opportunity for stu-

dents to publish their work, be it poetry or prose. Most people are tooshy to present their work orally, but they are very eager to see it published under their own name. By having it published they gain recognition and the confidence to continue writing. A school as. large as UW needs more poetry and art. Art is a unifying force and here at the university it can create a balance by off-setting the strong technical atmosphere. More than anything, poetry is a sublime form of communication which tries to convey the enigmatic individual plight and insight to society at large. Are there any types of poetry or prose which you definitely do not want?

As editors we have to be selective; we cannot publish everything we receive, our budget won’t allow it. So far we have received about 200 poems. -In editing them we have tried to select poems and prose which express something meaningful in a polished manner. Personal poetry is without rules as long as it remains personal, in a diary or whatever. As soon as anything is offered to the public, both the craft and the content become important. We would like to see, at least for our

convenience, work that is relatively short. Something that would fit on a type-written page. There is no subject matter or form that would be immediately rejected. What’s important is that it’s good. Before submitting we suggest that people ask themselves two basic questions. One - is the submission serious or just something to do for the hell of it? We would ask people to take their work seriously. Second - would someone else who reads their work understand it and, ‘more importantly, think it is good enough to publish? Another important thing to consider is how and what to submit. We would like all work to be relatively short, five poems maximum. They should be stapled together and have clearly written onthem the writer’s name, address, and phone number. If people want their work back they should enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope. CAB is looking for all submissions to be in by January 30. Contributions should go the the Federation of Students office in the Campus Centre and be clearly labelled Creative Arts Board. Printing is anticipated to begin by late February or early March with copies available at area bookstores by mid-March.

18 Imprint, January 9,1987

25th annd Life at the Unive@y of Waterloo has never been easy for its inhabitants. There are many people and many pressures to deal with every day and never enough time to finish all-the tasks ahead of you. Students and staff alike find little time to expand themselves beyond their small circles of friends and narrow areas of study. Twenty-five years ago a group of four people concerned with these very realities set about to make lie here just a little bit more tolerable. Paul Berg, C. C. Brodeur, Dave Grafstein, and Marty Kravitz came up with the idea of a revue-style show made up of skits and songs created by members of the university at large. This “family-style” show, as they put it, would “stimulate and encourage a sense of community among all segments of the university population while providing an outlet for a variety of talents and frustrations at a time of year when it was most needed.” Circle K, the young Kiwanis chap ter on campus, was approached to sponsor Zhe show. F.A.S.S., Faculty, Administration, Staff, and Students, was born. Soon, various societies, colleges, and departments were submitting skits to directors Dave and Monty for approval. F.A.S.S. Nite ‘63 was performed in the newly opened Theatre of the Arts in front of a packed house. Response was so positive it was decided to make it an annual event. To perpetuate the intent of F.A.S.S., a constitution was drawn up after %n extremely successful F.A.S.S. Nite ‘64.

The audience loved F.A.S.S. - to the point of camping out in the Modern Languages foyer to buy tickets! It was a rare year that the show didn’t sell out within the first hour. As the show became more popular, the involvement and the number of performance increased, necessitating a more formal structure. In 1966, it was decided that a committee= would be elected/appointed annually to oversee the process and, in 1970, affiliation with Circle K was broken and the F.A.S.S. Theatre Company was formed. As the years passed, the format of the show evolved. In the early ’70s the skits were given a central theme such as “Sailing Down Laurel Creek”. The current format of a plot-based show was implemented between 1972 and ‘74. During the last 25 years, the group moved to the Humanities Theatre and back to Theatre of the Arts; performed with a single piano and with a 20-piece band; learned extensive choreography and intricate harmonies. While the aim is to have a good time, there’s a good deal of hard work involved all year round in putting on a F.A.S.S. show. Beginning

FAS

in May, the Head Scriptwriter and his cronies get together to pen puns, itemize ideas, jot down jokes, and satirize songs. All through the summer and fall they meet once or twice a week. Finally, some time in late December (or early January), they emerge -with the completed version of what will be top-flight entertainment for more than 3,200 people. In the meantime, the director is gathering together a support staff, and preparing for the auditions held early in the winter term. In keeping with a long-standing F.A.S.S. tradition, everyone gets a part; even if it means sending the head scripwriter off to a lonely writer’s garret to create more! Three frantic weeks after auditions, we’re in the home stretch. Assignments have been all but forgotten and the last weekend before the show, perhaps the most strenuous of them all, is about to begin. The Tech Weekend. (Insert ominous music here.) The crew meets early on the Saturday morning to fortify themselves. Lights are hung, sound and light levels are set and all technical aspects of the show are rehearsed for the first time. Sunday morning, the cast and crew gather for a communal breakfast followed by cue-to-cues, a costume parade, and maybe, just maybe, a dress rehearsal. Yes, it’s a lot of hard work; assignments fallen by the wayside and exams loom in the not-to-distant future, but that first sound of applause makes it all worthwhile. Each show is followed by a party where participants can wind down and indulge in some back-patting. Our ticket prices have risen somewhat from the $0.74 charged in 1963, but a two-hour show in 1987 will only cost you $4.50. And where does the money go? Well, after next year’s show is budgeted, the rest of the funds are used for donations. F.A.S.S. often donates money to the Arts Centre for the improvement of the theatres. Items that we have bought include: a followspot, headset systems for both theatres, sound effects records, a cyclorama (40’ ,x 80’ background) and six legs (velour side curtains) for the Humanities Theatre, a sound board for T of A and various components of the Humanities sound system, speakers for T of A, and many other smaller items. A piano was also bought for the campus centre one year. In addition to the theatre equipment, F.A.S.S. has set up and continues to fund a bursar-y - The K.D. Fryer F.A.S.S. Award (all donations gratefully accepted through Watfund). This bursary was set up in memory of Ken Fryer, one of the early faculty members who put a great deal of time and effort into F.A.S.S. The bursary is made availa-

Sheep Look S.L.U.R.

by Don Kudo Imprint staff

Sheep Look Up, a band that has gained local fame (Southern Ontario, Toronto) as strong live performers, have captured their noo wave rock ‘n’ roll on a four song EP. Though four songs for some may not be enough to present all the dynamics of a band, this EP serves the Sheep well. . A standard instrumental styling of simple solid rythyms and often edgy guitar work does not really distinguish Sheep Look Up from the many other new music rock bands. However, the Sheep make their mark with strong songs and wonderfully powerful vocals. Lead singer Will Power (nice stage name) propels the band’s

During the remaining songs, Spaghetti Western and Falasha, the vocals change the temper of the music creating a much darker and moody atmosphere.

With the prevailing Western winds, the Northern Pikes blew into town at Fed Hall on the evening of Dec. 2, and these young Western gents played their version of rock ‘n’ roll for several hundred bodies. Their stop here marks their third tour to the East, and the second visit to this campus (the band reported that they were at a Village pub a year ago). During this tour they ventured as far as Halifax and slide down into upper New York State, but concentrated on the Southern Ontario circuit. If the show was missed, they are holding the Horseshoe Tavern (Queen St., TO) hostage on Dec. 5 and 6. Reflecting their roots of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, this band plays guitar twangin’ rock. The influences of ’60s guitar rock (ie Beatles, Who, Credence, Byrds) and some of the harder groups of the seventies (Aerosmith, Alice Cooper) showed evidently in their Fed Hall gig. They have a good foundation but lack the hooks -that command attention. Songs like World Where Nothing Changes have a good bass hook which found dance appeal in the audience . Considering they are a new unit, having only been formed in the winter of 1983, they should improve in

the, upcoming years. A band for comparison is 54-40 whose latest album contains some great material which grows infectiously. The Northern Pikes are playing music, similarly rooted, and must workout their sound to find something captivating.. They plan to record a new album in Toronto in January of the forthcoming year. With knowledgeable producers Rick Hutt and Frasen Hill, they hope to gain experience Top

and a solid slice of vinyl. Already recorded on their own label Black and Round, the hope for a international distribution keeps them working hard. Their past albums, and an EP released in the summer of ‘84, and album Scene in North America, fall of 1985, sold an awesome 2,500 copies.

SPQRTS... SPORTS...SPORT,S,..B-ball Warriors win hard fought .match against Western Mustangs at hQme

by Mike McGraw Imprint staff

You couldn’t have asked for a tougher opening opponent than the CIAU’s number two ranked Western Mustangs - in their own gym. However, pounding the offensive boards for 22 rebounds, the Waterloo Warriors walked out of Alumni Hall Wednesday night with a 78-72 victory in their first OUAA league game of the season. “To do this in their own gym is great,” said Warrior head coach Don McCrae. “We knew we were ready, we knew Western ‘might be tired but we were worried coming into their gym.” A physical first half saw the Warriors rattle the startled Mustangs, jumping out to a commanding 26-13 lead by the lo-minute mark. The Warriors crashed the offensive glass while they silenced the Mustangs’ big shooters, threatening to blow the home club right out of Alumni Hall. Jamie McNeil1 was a standout underneath both baskets, pulling down 12 rebounds for the game, as he nefted 13 points and was tough defensively. Rob Froese displayed tenacity inside, scoring 12 points for the evening. Once again, Paul Boyce stood tall for the Warriors, pouring in 15 of his game-high 25 . points before the half while he

remained a stalwart on defense. / Waterloo widened its lead to 4022 at one point before Western, powered by . rookie sensation John Stiefelmeyer, battled back to end the first half down 47-36. Playing up ato their second rank billing, the Mustangs pulled within six points early in the second half. Boyce’s shooting staved off the Westerners for a while, but by the nine-minute mark the momentum began to sway in favour of the Mustangs. The Warriors seemed to tire as the half progressed, repeatedly fouling to ward off the escalating Mustang attack. With 2:30 remaining, it was anybody’s ball game as Stie.felemeyer deadlocked the score at’ 72. With Western performing up to its highly-touted reputation, there was cause for worry on the Wal-rior bench. But this was to be the Warriors’ night, as some clutch offensive rebounds paired with stingy defense allowed them to score the last six points and effectively kill the clock. John Bilawey’s rebounding was especially tough in the home stretch. Tom Schneider had an impressive night on the scoresheet with 15 points. Stiefelmeyer led the Mustangs with 23, with Chris Cavender and Pete Vandebovenkamp both chipping in 15. A highlight for the Warriors’ defense was the non-exist-

ence of Western’s usually efficient Jeff Petter, who was held scoreless managing just one shot from the floor. Western coach Doug Hayes was not calling this one an upset as he later said: “I was prepared that this would be our toughest opponent. Maybe the guys didn’t believe me. They will now - we got pounded.” He also made note of Waterloo’s dominance on the offensive boards. saying “they got so many offensive rebounds at key times.” McCrae praised the play of Boyce, stating; “he’s a sure-fire All-Canadian; ,he’s our go-to guy.” He observed that his club became fatigued toward the end of the game, but that they settled down to win. He too attributed offensive rebounding to his team’s victory, and noted the Warriors’ size advantage over the Mustangs. This uplifting victory carries the Warriors into tomorrow afternoon’s home opener against the Guelph Gryphons. Traditionally, the televised game is a big game, therefore, the team is hoping for a capacity crowd in the PAC to cheer them on. After Saturday the team travels to Laurier next Wednesday night to play the Hawks. Perhaps McCrae summed up the evening best, when he said “this is a great start. We’ve shot out of the starting blocks.”

A survey of CIAU Basketball by Donald

Duench-Imprint

staff

The Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union (CIAU) basketball season is well underway. This year, there will be two significant changes from last season’s action. This year’s championship will be determined at an eight-team tournament, involving the six conference champions and two wild-card teams. Gone is the format of four regional tourna. ments and a Final Four, mainly due to travel costs. Introduced this season is the three-point line’set at 20 feet, six inches from the centre of the hoop. This -development allows the team with pure outside shooters to be able to make a faster comeback when behind. I Here’s a look at what can be expected from each of the 36 CIAU teams-t his year: Canada

West (CWUAA)

Victoria (9-l last year): The CIAU champs for the past seven years have lost four starters from last season. Gone is 7footer Cord Clemens, a secondteam All-Canadian, as well as forw‘ards Jgmie Newman (6’6”)’ David Sheehan (6’5”)) and guard Randy Steele (6’0”bHead coach Ken Shields has a strong backcourt, with guards Lloyd Scrubb (6’0”)’ Vito Pasquale (6’0”) and Geoff McKay (6’4”). Sharing time in the frontcourt will be Jerry Divoky (6’8”)’ Wade Loukes (6'5") and Shawn .Kalinovich (6’6”). An impact player with the Vikings will be forward Spencer McKay (6'8'0, the most prized high school recruit from B.C. this year. Alberta (4-6): The Golden Bears have impressed in the pre-

season, and could win their conference this year. Head coach Don Horwood has the pleasure of welcoming back fifth-year forward Mike Suderman (6'5")' who had to sit out last year due to a back injury. He rejoins veteran guard David Youngs (6'0") and forwards Dean Peters (6'5") and Mike Kornak (6'3"). The Bears have won their own tournament, as well as those at Regina and Calgary. In the latter, they defeated Toronto, Victoria and Western to claim top spot. British Columbia (3-7) : Now in his second year as head coach of the Thunderbirds, former Winnipeg mentor Bruce Enns has the UBC program going in the right direction. Returning for his fifth year is Canada West all-star guard P’aul Johansson (6’3”) who acts in television commercials to pay his tuition. His backcourt partner is Kevin Hanson ,(6'0"). Enns has attracted four of the top five high schoolers from B.C. to his team: guards J.D. Jackson (6’4”)’ Alan Lalonde (6’3”), and forwards Mike Clarke (6’8”) and John Carlson (6’9”). Road victories over Winnipeg, Brandon and Manitoba show .that UBCis able to take on anybody. Saskatchewan (4-6): Guy Vetrie’s Huskies overcame a poor regular season to make it to the Final Four last year. Their lineup includes All-Canadian Byron Tokarchuk (6’9”), a fourth-year centre who dominates the game. Also returning are CIAU slamdunk champion Kirk Jones (6’4”) and Sheldon Ryma (6’8”). .Guards John Cleland (6'1") and David Karwacki (6'1") give Saskatchewan the ability to run the break as well as any CIAU team. The Huskies were not able to beat a ranked team during their

unimpressive pre-season. Calgary (5-5): The Dinos are led by guard John Vigna (5'10"), forward Donovan Lawrence (6'6")) and honourary mention All-Canadian Kurt Kelly (6'7"). Head coach Gary Howard saw his team start their schedule with five straight losses, and then had to watch both Rick Pease and Greg Maillet get injured. Pease is fine, but Maillet will not be back until the middle of January, due to a severe ankle injury. A second-place finish at the Alberta tournament, and wins versus Victoria and Waterloo have been the bright spots so far for the Dinos. Lethbridge (5-5): Like Victoria, the Pronghorns have lost four starters from last year’s ros* ter (including All-Canadian Ken McMurray). Unfortunately, Lethbridge head coach Ken Olynyk doesn’t have the players waiting on the bench that Victoria did. This will be a long season for lone returning starter Ryan Heggie and the rest of the Pronghorns. Great

Plains

(GPAC)

Winnipeg (12-4 last year): Although they have lost All-Canadian ‘Gord Tucker, the Wesmen are a team that could go all the way this year. Head coach Bill Wedlake has an offensive machine, led by guard Joey ‘Spud’ Vickery’s expertise from beyond the three-point line. Winnipeg has many veteran players, including guards Will Parker and Mark Johannson, both in their fifth year, and forwards Murray Gehman and Dean Goodbrandson. The Wesmen have defeated teams such as Alberta, Waterloo (twice) and Concordia, but they are bothered by big clubs.

hopefuls

Brandon (10-6): The Bobcats were one basket away from winning the GPAC title last year, but could take it all this season. Back for his fifth and final season is John Carson (6’4’*), an AllCanadian and recipient of the Mike Moser award as the CIAU’s top player last year. Carson was almost academically ineligible to play this season, so he attended summer classes to catch up. Also returning for head coach Jerry Hemmings’ team is Patrick ‘Jam-Master’ Jebbison (6’5”). A newcomer to watch with the Bobcats is Whitney Dabney (6’8”). .The Bobcats lost by two to Victoria in the finals of Brandon’s pre-season tournament. Regina (6-10): Under head coach Ken Murray, the Cougars have steadily improved their basketball program to the point where they can defeat any team in the country. Regina has an imposing frontcourt in forward Chris ‘Baby Skylab’ Biegler, centre- Bill* Knudsen and forward Robert Andrist, all of whom stand 6’7”. Guard James Hillis is joined this year by frosh Rodd Sawatzky to form what at times is an excellent backcourt. Regina has defeated

games with Saskatchewan in exhibition play, and has defeated Manitoba twice in early GPAC regular season play. Manitoba (12-4): The Bisons have been up and down in the and generally not pre-season, looking like the defending GPAC champions. After the losses to Regina, head coach Rick Suffield dropped three players in an attempt to shake things up. NO matter what, the main man in Manitoba’s plans is All-Canadian post man Joe Ogoms (6’6”)’ The supporting cast includes

Terry Garrow and Geoff forward Neil Enns (6’5”)’ and centre Brian Gray (6’9”). Newcomers to the team are forwards Dave Filmon (S’S”), Trevor Hoilett (6’2”) and Joe guards

Armstrong and Jamie Ziegel have graduated, but the starting frontcourt of Chris Cavender (6'4")' Peter Vandebovenkamp (6’6”) and Jeff Petter (6’6”) are all back. Hayes is so well-stocked in forwards that Petter is being moved to guard to-allow frosh phenom John Steifelmeyer (6’6”) to start. John Mikhail (6'1") and Pod Armstrong (6'0") join Petter in the backcourt. The Mustangs lost to Alberta on Sunday, the first time this year that a CIAU opponent has beaten them. Windsor (6-6): Were it not for the three-point line, the Lancers would be an ordinary team, set to chalk up another 6-6 season. The line is in, however, which will make guards Scott Thomas and Matt St. Louis heroes at the St. Denis centre. Head coach Dr. Paul Thomas (Scott’s dad) has seen the Lancers beat both Toronto and Waterloo this year. McMaster (5-7): The Marauders have lost Tony Sterling, Ed Zubas and three others from last year’s team, but head coach Barry Phillips has a unit with plenty of height. Returning players include forwards Peter Ross and Ralf Rosenkranz (both 6'69, Brian Bidulka (6'4"), Jasper Naus (6'3"), and guard Perry Bruzzese (5’11”). Rookie Mike Preocanin (6’9”) has been installed at centre. High points of McMaster’s pre-season include defeating St. Francis Xavier, Toronto and Winnipeg. Brock (7-5): Head coach Garney Henley’s greatest success in the pre-season was watching the Hamilton Tiger-Cats win the Grey Cup. In second was the fact that the Badgers now play their home games on a new wooden floor, with a new scoreboard above it. The new floor should save the knees of Brock’s big men, Kevin Moore and Kelly Grace (both 6'7") and Rob Ma-

cRae (6'5"). Rich Lianga also returns from a year’s absence, but. the loss of guard Mike Zareski will hurt. Guelph (O-12): One of two newhead coaches in the CIAU this year is Tim Darling, who is all of 86 years old. He inherits a team that had guard Jeff Root (6’4”) and 11 other guys. This season, Root has the company of forward Sean Kelly (6'7") and centre Sergio Bolzon (6'7"'), .,The Gryphons defeated Ottawa and Carleton in the pre-season, and at least they won’t finish in last place, because . . . Laurier( 6-6) : . . . is going through what can politely be described as .a rebuilding year, with four starters not returning. Gone is the heart and soul of WLU basketball, guard Steve Forden, as well as Bob Urosevic, Rene Luypaert and Andy Balogh. Forwards Joe Syer, Linas Azubalis and Brian Demaree, and guards Rob Galinowski and Lorenzo Segato are the players on head coach Chris Coulthard’s: team to watch. _ Ontario

East (OUAA

East)

Toronto (9-5 last year): Blues’ coach Brian Heaney resigned on June 18 to “pursue other personal and career goals”. His sudden and unexpected departure forced Toronto athletic director Gib Chapman, who has experience as a basketball coach, to take over as the interim coach for this season. With Heaney gone, national team member John Karpis (6'10")' who had quit the club last year due to problems with Heaney, has returned. He’ joins forwards Ranald Davidson (6'5"), Roger Rollocks and Mike Forestall (both 6'8"), and guards Terry Victor (5’7”) and Sam Hill (6'2"). Freshman centre Mark Harvey has also impressed during pre-season games. York (14-O): The perennial

FAIRVIEW

powerhouse in this conference has lost six players from last year, including second-team AllCanadian Tim Rider, and OUAA East all-stars Mark Jones and Wayne Shaw. Also, forward Doug Kerr is academically ineligible, and Louis Karkabasis (6%“) has opted to play for pay in Greece. Head coach Bob Bain will have to count on temperamental guard. Jeff McDermid (6'5") and forward Stu Levinsky (6'7") to get the Yeomen another conference title. \ Laurentian (10-4): With 11 players back from last year’s impressive unit, the Voyageurs look like they could go places. Head coach Peter Campbell has forward Jeff McKibbon (6'6") back for his fifth year, as well as guard Lloyd Pollard (5'10"). Although Laurentian has more losses than wins in their exhibition schedule, these losses have been against high quality opposition such as Winnipeg, Concordia, Toronto and Waterloo. Ryerson (5-9): The Rams hope to get a full year out of guard Rob (6’2”) this season. Hager _Hager had a nagging leg injury which kept him out of part of the regular season last year. The forward position is not a problem for head coach Terry Haggerty. OUAA past all-star Jamie Voskuil (6'8'9, who was the first Ryerson player ever to receive votes in the All-Canadian balloting last year, is joined by freshman sensation Kevin St. Kitts (6'5")) who is an artist on the hardwood. The Rams have an All-Basketball-Name player in forward Leslie Dunkley. Ryerson has come within a point of upsetting Toronto in exhibition play this year. Queen’s (8-6): Head coach Barry Smith saw his Golden Gaels make it to the conference playoffs last year. Players to watch for the Gaels include the

B.C. connection of forwards Mike Scotten (6'5") from Victoria and James Reynolds (6’8”) of Ladysmith, B.C. An upset or two will allow Queen’s to get back to the playoffs this year. Ottawa (2-12): Both regular season victories last year came against RMC, who went O-14 for the umpteenth year and decided to drop their basketball program. The Gee-Gees are better than they were last year, due to the addition of four transfers: forward Greg White (6'5") and centre Chuck Klassen (6'10") from Laurier, Pat Charlebois from Lakehead, and Claude Heath (6'5") from Simon Fraser. Among the eight returning players for head coach John Restivo’s crew are guard Dave Deaveiro (5'109, forward Arthur Kirkwood (6'5"), and centre Bill Shane (6’9”). In the only OUAA East regular season game played so far this year, Ottawa was demolished 83-37 by Laurentian. Carleton (8-6): Head coach Paul Armstrong received a shock when his starting point guard, Louie Mazzuca, told him he was quitting due to an increased academic workload This unexpected loss will. make the Ravens the conference doormat this season. Returning players John Anstess (6'2") and Paul Lebreux (6'0")' along with freshmen guards Roger Piovesa-n and Walter Robinson can expect a long season. Quebec

(QUAA)

Concordia (ll- 1 last year): Second team All-Canadian Rob Latter (6%“) is back for his final year of eligibility. If that isn’t enough skill at the centre position, the Stingers have freshman Keith Alexander (6’9”) as a backup. Head coach Doug Daigneault has skilled guards Craig Norman (6'5") and Parnell Joseph to run the Concordia of-

fense. Even though the Stingers have lost Biagio Caresse and Chris Francis, they ought to have a good season. McGill (814): Key players that Redmen head coach Ken Schildroth has returning from last year’s QUAA champions are guard Bernie Rosanelli (6'4") and forward Clint Hamilton (6'6"). McGill’s leading scorer from two years ago, Willie Hinz, has returned to the team after attending Oxford. Newcomer Paul Brousseau will be another player to watch on the Redmen, who have beaten Waterloo for the second year in a row in pre-season action. Trois-Rivieres (5-7): The highlight of the pre-season for the Patriotes, coached by Claude Laliberte, was defeating York 93-91. So far in the QUAA regular season, UQTR has played two games, defeating Bishop’s 72-70 with a shot at the buzzer and losing 65-64 to McGill. Bishop’s (O-12): There is a new feeling of optimism surrounding head coach Eddie Pomykala and the Gaiters. For the first time in three years, Bishop’s won a preseason tournament (with wins over Carleton and Guelph). Mike Fisher and Dave Clements lead the Gaiters on and off the court, while rookie guards Pierre Tibblin and David King are emerging as a good tandem. Atlantic

(AUAA)

Acadia (12-6 last year): The Axemen have lost guards Skeeter Mower, Gary Towle, and forward Eugene Gibson, but don’t count head coach Dave Nutbrown’s team out. Seven experienced players, including for- 1 wards Peter Morris (6'7") and Rob Hahn (6'8") and point guard Rod Martin (6'2") are back for Acadia. A pair of rookie for-

wards, Marty Frenette (6'6") and Ted Byrne (6'7") have been pleasant surprises for the Axemen, who are 4-O in AUAA regular season-play, which began in Nob vember. St. Francis Xavier (10-8) : Honourable mention All-Canadian guard Kyle Gayle (6'2") is part of *the strong St. F.X. backcourt, Iwith Chris Ross and Wade Smith (both 6'1"). The X-men, coached by Steve Konchilski, also have their share of quality forwards, including Andy Ledoux (6'3")) Monty Gallant (6'6") and Mike, Carson (6'7")' a transfer from Acadia. Freshma? Troy Garner (6’8”) has also‘helped to get the X-men out to a 2-1 start in league action. I Saint Mary’s (6-12) : AUAA all-star forward Mike Williams (6'5") leads the list of nine returning Huskies for head coach Allan Waye. The backcourt is solid, with returning guards David McIotosh, David Smith and Bill Marshall (who had played for Saint Mary’s three Rowarth seasons ago). I Chris (6'1")' who transferred from Acadia, will also help out at guard. In addition to Williams, the Huskies have John Murphy (6'7") and Gary Bratty at forward. SMU is currently 3-l in AUAA gaties. Prince Edward Island (12-4): The Panthers have lost three important players from last’year’s AUAA championship squad. Tejan Alleyne has used up #five years of eligibility, while Curtis Brown and Trevor Willock fouled out academically. Returning to head coach George Morrison’s team is AUAA all-star Mike Morgan (6'5"), in his last year of eligibility. Rookies on thePanthers, who are 1-2 in AUAA play, include guards Jeff Allen and Steve Ruiz, and forwards

Meetings on winter

be Andy Hayward and Richard MacKay, a transfer from Mt. Allison. The Red Raiders, a gradually improving club who won their own tournament at New Year’s, have a 2-3 mark in league action. D Dalhdusie (13-5): The Tigers have lost three starters, Darrell Williams and Greg Blown (both of whom flunked) and Bo Malott

from last year’s promising team. Guard Mike ” Gillett (6'5") and forward George Leacock (6'6") are what’s left of head coach Dot Ryan’s starting five. Forward Jeff Burns (6'5") is joined by newcomers Willem Verbeek (6'4“), Paul Riley (6'5") and Al Abbass (6’9”)’ while guard Colin Charles has transferred from Acadia. The Tigers are 1-3 in _ league play.

Mt. Allison (2-14): One of the four returning players for head coach Dave Crook is Ken Ferguson (6'4")' who is the tallest player on the team. With this lack of height, the Mounties have to play with tenacity on defense, which has prompted them to call themselves ‘the Rat Pack’. These rats, l-4 so far in league action, will be packing up early this . year.

Basket ball Warriors meet Guelph Saturday

League dav starts this week by Mike McGraw Imprint Staff After a tough pre-season schedule which produced mixed results, the Waterloo Warriors basketball squad heads into league play this week. In addition to Wednesday’s match at Western, the Warriors will play their home opener at the PAC against the Guelph Gryphons on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m., not 8 p.m. as originally listed on the schedule. In what coach Don McCrae called an “adequate” pre-season, the Warriors finished with an 11-7 record. The team faced some quality competiton throughout the pre-season, battling five of the CIAU’s top 10 teams. One thing to keep in mind is that of their 7 losses, 3 were by a single point, while two were decided in overtime. In reference to this McCrae noted,“we’ve shown that we’re always within striking distance.” The Warriors enter the OUAA schedule with a healthy line-up, as starting guardsRob Froese and Tom Schneider have both returned to action after pre-Christmas injuries, Over the Christmas break, Waterloo competed against a highly competitive field in the - York Excalibur Tournament. In

McCrae their opening game, the Warriors downed the Saskatchewan Huskies 84-80, a team which has returned to CIAU play with the same squad that took them to the final four last season. Following .this victory, Waterloo dropped a heartbreaker to the CIAU’s fourth-ranked Brandon Bobcats, 105-104 in overtime. McCrae praised his squad, saying “this was one of the best games this team has played in two or three years. ” He added that “one point overtime losses are hard on eve-

rybody, even old guys.” The loss placed the Warriors in the runner-up game’, where they played tired ball in a 68-61 loss to the Calgary Dinosaurs. As McCrae observed, “we were gassed out. - With an inexperienced bench, three-day tournaments have wreaked havoc on us.” For the fifth consecutive tournament, Paul Boyce was selected to the all-star team. Boyce continued what is shaninn UD to be an AllCanadian &at& ieason with 72 points over the three games, in-

eluding 36 against Brandon. Froese and Schneider made their presence known in the line-up finishing second and third respectively in the Warrior scoring column. The team wrapped up the preseason schedule last Saturday at Sheridan College with a rematch of their earlier 87-84 win over the Toronto Estonia men’s team. This time the outcome was not near as close as six Warriors tallied in double figures to give Waterloo a convincing 96-80 victory. Froese led the way with 23 while Boyce added 20 to give Waterloo their second consecutive triumph over the same Estonia club which has had their number in the past. Saturday afternoon’s home opener features a.Gryphon team which is generally considered to be in a rebuilding year. However, they are not to be taken lightly with last year’s OUAA scoring champion, Jeff Root and the 6'7" Sergio Bolzon. McCrae stated that Guelph has had a hard pre-season and that they should be ready. The game will be telecasted live on CHCH-TV and includes a banner contest in which prizes will be awarded. Of his own squad, McCrae restated what he foresaw back in October, stating. To be successful, we <must play qll out for 40 minutes.”
