Sanctions,will by Michelle Dunkley Imprint staff “ 1987 will determine whether South Africa’s apartheid is demolished through peaceful negotiations or violence”, says Yusuf Saloojee, chief representative of the African National Congress (ANC) to Canada. The actions of the world will be instrumental in determining the method. Saloojee’s speech in Waterloo on January 28 was especially timely given the recent surge of interest in <the ANC which has been displayed by the Western powers. The meetings taking place between the ANC and the major Western powers is a’ sign that governments now realize the role the ANC will have in the

end apartheid: nisi, Saloojee stated that the ANC is not. In the past, he said, the West has turned down appeals @r supp$ while the East did not. This does not mean that the AK has communist leanings: “While it is true that the Soviet Union gives assistance, the Swedish government is one of ANc’s largest contributors, having just agreed to contribute $9 million US for 1987. Even Henry Kissinger agrees that the ANC is not a communist organization. It is an organization by the people and for the people which accepts South African people regardless of colour.” Saioojee deeied claims that economic sanctions against South Africa would hurt black Africans most, saying the statement was merely an excuse which has been thrown around for many years. When the South African economy prospered, blacks suffered and lived in poverty% certain areas of Africa you find children dying and starving in a country that exports agricultural products.” Therefore the ANC approves the use of total sanctions. The current-partial sanctions are not enough, but,they are beginning to take effect. President Pieter Botha doesn’t feel the pressure yet, but continued sanctions would cripple him, said Saloojee. South Africa is tied economically to the Western world, especialiy in technical and foreign trade investments. If total sanctions were applied tomorrow, the ANC be- . lieves that South Africa could not survive. While a peaceful solution can still be obtained, time is running out. The Eminent Persons Group (EPG) visited South Africa in 1986 in an attempt to influence the government in the direction of such reforms’as the release of ANC leader Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners, the termination of the state of emergency and the legalization of the ANC. Their trip was cut short after the government waged border at-
shaping of a new South Africa. It is currently a crime to be born black in South Africa, s&d Saloojee. This crime is not chosen by the blacks, it is a question of birth. Apartheid has been declared a crime against humanity by the United Nations. Saloojee said the South African government wants to dominate blacks in all the neighboring states of Africa both economically and politically. Now, for the first time, the neighboring states are saying “enough is enough”. If the neighboring states are attacked in the future they will seek outside help from the African coalitions, the United Nations and then the Super Powers. When asked if the ANC is commu-

Athletic board seeks fee increase of $1.75 pe-rstudent per term by Mike O’Driscoll Imprint staff Facing a potential decrease in funds, UWs Athletic Advisory Board has appealed to the university administration for a student athletic fee increase of 7.68 per cent effective in September of 1987. The advisory board re uested the increase, equivalent to 9 1.75 per student, arguing that declining enrollments in the up coming year *will lead to a shortage of revenue. The fee is assessed to all full-time students attending the University of Waterloo and is intended to support the interuniversity athletic program. At present the fee stands at $22.84 per term for each undergraduate and $15.23 per term for each graduate student. Carl Totzke, Director of Athletics, said if the administration decides not to support the increase his department will be forced to “reorder priorities” and possibly “consider cutbacks.” He said in previous years high enrollment and revenue supplied by various international sporting events held on campus have kept fee hikes to a minimum. But now, Totzke said, the reverse is true, and the present increase is “catch-up in nature and (falls) far short of real program needs.” In addition, even if the 7.68 per
cent hike is approved, because of the enrollment drop, the board expects the revenue generated to amount only to an additional 3 per cent. Federation of Students President Scott Forrest disagrees with the size of the proposed increase, and has suggested that it should be tied to the cost of living index, or approximately five per cent. “Any excess to this cost of living amount could be provided by the university,” he said. Forrest said the move “will set a dangerous precedent for fee increases above inflation,” and added the need for funding increases will hopefully provide a chance for the university administration to make a commitment to lifestyle programs. Forrest also suggested that if the board is in need of an increase above inflation, a referendum should- be held and the issue should be decided democratically. The final decision will be made by UWs Board of Governors, based on submissions by an appointed budget committee. Totzke and Forrest have made opposing predictions as to the outcome of the controversy, both are tentatively optimistic that the decision will be made in their favour. That optimism will be put to the test no later than May 1, although a decision may be handed down as early as two weeks from now.
6,000 K-W adults are functionally illiterate by Chris Denholm Imprint staff There are more than 6,000 functionally illiterate people living in the K-W area, according to statistics from the Kitchener Waterloo Literacy Council. Operating with a 98 or 99 per cent success rate, the volunteer organization helps illiterates function in society by teaching them the fundamentals of reading. A typical student is a Canadian born, English speaking adult between 25 and 40 years of age, says Linda Rosen, who works for the Literacy Council. Most of the students have had some contact with the educational system, but it is only now that they have found some compelling reason to learn to read. In an extreme example, Rosen’s first student had “gone through a couple years of high school” without anyone realizing that he was unable to read. Illiterates are able to cope with so ciety by developing their memories and relying on a catalogue of subtle tricks. They forget their glasses frequently, and will often promise to “read it later” when they have the time. Usually these people have a support person - a friend or spouse - who is there to read for them whe-

It s that simple.” Finding students is a greater problem; reaching people unfamiliar with the written word is an imposing task. “It has to be their idea and they have to take the first step,” said Rosen. Speakers are sent out to any organization that will listen, and local eye doctors inform the council whenever they encounter patients who can’t read the eye charts. “We haven’t had the money for radio and television advertising,” she explained. Funding for the council is sporadic. Tutors and students pay for their own books, and the Waterloo County Board of Education does their printing free. “We are essentially a nickel and dime organization,” said Rosen. The council is looking to receive a government grant in the near future which will enable them to set up a learning centre and to continue advertising locally. “Ultimately,” said Rosen, “when you teach a person to read you do change their life.”

CC board asks for changes by Terri Shewfelt Imprint staff
The Campus Centre Board, a board composed of students from each faculty and Dean of Students Ernie Lucy, is tired of the dilapidated state of the Campus Center and wilI recommend to Campus Centre management later this month that major renovations take place immediately to expedite gtfey change to the Campus Renovations would include refurnishing of the Great Hall and meeting rooms and increasing the lighting in both these areas. The board currently has a trust fund of $120,000 it intends to use for these renovations. The board has determined the Campus Centre is one of the worst in Ontario, and it is currently conducting a study of the other university student centres in order to exDose the problems with our CC and to call *for further expan-
cafe
sions to complement .the renovations. Board Chairman Andrew Johnson said, “the fate of the CC expansion is now in the hands of Pat Roberston, (UW) v-p -university services.” The board feels it wilI have done its part with the recommendation and funding of the renovation, he said. The CC board will contribute some funds for expansion, but the majority of - dollars must come from the administration. Johnson said their is total board support in calling for expansion, and added that although Lucy reports directly to Pat Robertson, he is assured the board has Lucy’s suppcm. The board feels that an expanded campus center would have many- uses and in particular is interested in putting a variety store in the basement for the benefit of students and the communitv.

The board feels the relocation of the used book store and record store to South Campus Hall would, along with the proposed expansion free up the basement for :a variety store. Part of the CC board’s work this term also entails a booking survey of the meeting rooms to determine the demand for meetin rooms,and whether their is enou I8 space available for those who wish to book rooms in the CC. The Campus Centre Board currently has three vacancies the for the upcoming 1987-88 year. Representatives are still needed for the faculties of HKLS, Independent Studies, and Science.

by Neal Bonnor Imprint staff Sorry, Mike, but 1 think you’re wrong. Engineers are probably the hardest-working and most dedicated students on campus, and for that 1 give them respect. But, Mr. Schatz, you can hardly claim that “only the engineer has the crucial ingredients to recognize the possibilities and pitfalls of technology in relation to the human condition” (Iron Warrior, January 1987), as I think you are intrinsically aware. Granted, the engineer is most learned in the machinations of man, and contributes greatly to the maintenance of our modern physical society: indeed, without the engineer we would be at a loss. And granted, as a human being who interacts with society, the engineer may in fact possess, in a limited way, the necessary “abilities in the humanities” to effectively partake in its leadership (though this ability could hardly be learned in a formal setting, given “the high degree of specialization necessary in the technical side of the engineering field”). But please, Mr. Schatz, do not make comparisons between Leonardo Da Vinci and the modern engineer! For one thing, Leonardo was a genius. For another, the world of Leonardo’s time was infinitely less complex and intricate, at least in a technological sense, than that of today, and hence required relatively less specialized knowledge of its champions. You can hardly expect one man or woman today to possess both a specialized training in engineering and an effective knowledge of social leadership. I agree with you, Mr. Schatz, that the world of the future will include an ever-increasing and vital role for the engineer, the specialized engineer in particular, and that, indeed, engineers will be leaders -- in their respective fields. I would also agree with you that knowledge of the significance and impact of technology on the “social strata” is a prime requirement for modern leadership. But I would submit to you, Mr. Schatz, that these qualities are best cultivated in disciplines other than engineering. Not the equally specialized lawyers that currently plague Western leadership positions; nor, indeed, the financiers or businessmen of past glories whose personal interests are integrally linked to positions of social power. No, Mr. Schatz: the leaders of tomorrow I see as those “generalists” who have instructed themselves in a large variety of fields to a limited extent, and thus who are qualified to integrate all these elements into effective social leadership. Naturally, as a Geographer (or a Geopolitician, as 1 like to call myself), I am biased toward this particular field as an example of a “generalist”, but I have no doubt that there are other such related fields of study in which both technical training and generalized relationships and knowledge are incornorated. Engineers are experts in the application of technology, technology which is essential to the survival of modern society. But in this complex world of ours, do you not think, Mr. Schatz, that the’integration of this technology (and, indeed, of all elements of modern life) within society should be left in the hands of a generalist‘?

Oerlikon: ihe cookie-jar syndrome . o . , by Peter Lawson Imprint staff The latest scandal on the “hill” in Ottawa keeps getting more bizarrely comical or comically bizarre. The Oerlikon Aerospace Inc. land purchase flip flop price increase,,everybody two step - is the just another fiasco to plague the good old honest PC government of Brian Mulroney. The latest players in this game for big boys are Dugald Buchanan and Peter Ohrt. Mr. Buchanan, an executive engineer, claims that he was offered the president position for the new Oerlikon facility in Quebec. But he later learned that the job was granted to Peter Ohrt who is a cousin of Conservative Senator Jean Bazin and a former Mulroney appointments secretary. This comedy is almost beyond belief. Names like Lette, Bazin, Bis: sonnette, Ouellette and the Prime Minister’s Office whirl around in this live Harold Robbins’ novelette. But all of these suspected wrong-doings are not that shocking. What is really surprising is that this scandalous cookie-jar is large enough to accommodate all of these hands (with more to come?), and that all of these hands may get caught.
Imprint looks funny! If you think Imprint looks a little funny this week, in places, you’re right.

Sex choice research hardly-a legitimate prioritv in Canada J
by Cindy Long Imprint staff Several years ago, North Americans were aghast to learn that infanticide had increased in China since legislation was introduced limiting the number of children a couple could legally produce. Some parents, desperate for a male child, were killing their female infants. Our outrage was not limited to the murderous act itself. What kind of mentality, we asked ourselves, would it take to conceive of doing such a thing? . The root of the problem rested not in the new law, nor in the idea that one sex was more worthy than the other sex, but in the belief that it was somehow okay to exercise control over the sex of one’s child by whatever means one could. The idea of being able to decide in advince a child’s sex has intrigued people throughout the- centuries. American technology once again has caught up with fantasy. For a price, you‘can be 80 per cent certain of having the sex of your choice. A Toronto gynecologist is now considering buying a license to set up the same sort of shop. The concept owes its popularity to the element of power inherent in the ability to make such a choice. We have a seemingly unquenchable thirst for control. We are frightened, and understandably so, by our impotence. However, whether we choose to be fearful or trusting, bent on controlling or accepting, we cannot ignore the realities of this particular world and its limitations. It is a moral question. Is there anything over which we should not have control because of the potential for abuse of such power? The motives of a parent who would spend $2,500 or more on a sexual selection procedure are questionable. Why would anyone so strongly feel the need to have a child of one particular sex? Numerous psychological theories come to mind. These theories can explain a parent’s desire for a same-sex or opposite-sex child, but cannot justify human technological intervention to satisfy that desire. Moreover, the roots of the desire are not, in the majority of cases, positive ones. An intensely perceived need for a female child, for instance, shows not only the parent’s belief that somehow it would be better to have a girl, but also the belief that it would be worse to have a boy. Woe to the boy-child born to parents who invested much time, energy and money in an attempt to have a girl. Proponents of this pre-conception gender selection process would probably argue that much research is urgently needed to increase the hit-rate of the proce-
dures so people are not disappointed. However, studies have shown that most people would prefer to have a boy first. When they don’t achieve this goal the first time, often t;rey keep trying, sometimes with success. If a b(#y was guaranteed on the first try, some of these parents would have no more children. The result would be a lcwer birth rate and a population decrease. Potentially our children could find themselves living in a society with a major sociological crisis: not enough females to go around and, consequently, a still declining birth rate. ‘I his is a pretty high price to pay to satisfy the selfish desires of a particular society at a particular period in history. For once, let’s stop the mad wheels of the applied science chariot and critically examine the implications of what we are trying to do. All species on this planet have built-in mechanisms to ensure that an approximately equal number of males and females are born. The advantages of this are so obvious they don’t bear discussion. Whether you believe in creation or evolution or both, to mess around with this mechanism would be insane. From a theological viewpoint, it is morally wrong. From a sociological viewpoint it is dangerous. In fact, the only viewpoint from which it makes any sense is that of money-hungry inventors like Ronald Ericsson who want to get rich and the consequences be damned. Ericsson, a scientist specializing in “reproductive physiology?’ patented and licensed the method used in the U.S. and now sells franchises for $7,500. Proof that Ericsson doesn’t give two hoots about the future consequences of his method is his statement given in an interview with the Toronto Star (Jan. 30/87): “I won’t be around when the next step is taken. So 1 don’t care. Well some of us do care, Mr. Ericsson. Society should not pay the price for your irresponsibility. In fact, we have a duty to prevent those who don’t care from determining in any significant way the future of our race. What’s next? Abortions of fetuses who don’t meet our sexual specifications? After all, if we pay for a boy, why go through a11that trouble if it’s going to be a girl? If a gender selection clinic is allowed to open in Toronto, it could set a dangerous precedent. This is not a matter that can be decided by individual practitioners, some of whom unfortunately will examine only the economic aspects of such a decision. A parliamentary committee should be struck immediately to examine the implications of this “medical” service. Surely there are priorities for research in this country if not in the U.S.

’ Unpopular speakers should not be spurned by UW I
8
To the editor, a
Gord Durnin’s comments about the upcoming Kissinger lecture at Western (Imprint, January 23) strongly resemble the objections raised by the lunatic fringe to G. Gordan Liddy’s speaking appear*ante at Waterloo several years ago. The Kissinger issue has been beaten into the ground at the University of Western Ontario (U WO). Nothing either myself or Mr. Durnin have to say about the Kissinger speech is new, or particularly relel vant to those of us who attend school at Waterloo. I am dismayed by the prejudice Mr. Durnin displays toward a speaker he apparently has never heard, but it is pointless to argue with a bigot. 3 1 do take issue with Mr. Durnin’s bald assertion that Waterloo is somehow morally superior to UWO
because it got a lecture from Gwynne Dyer instead of Henry I&singer. Simply inviting Henry Kissinger to deliver a speech at their university in no way implies the majority of Western students either condone (or condemn) his actions on behalf of the American government. Just because Gwynne Dyer speaks at Waterloo does not conclusively prove we are any less “establishment” than UWO or that the majority of Waterloo students share Mr. Dyer’s opinions. 1 for one don’t. I would like Mr. Durnin to explain to his readers what exactly is wrong with the behavior of UWO students when they invite, and pay, interesting and controversial guest speakers such as Mr. Kissinger to speak at their campus. 1 am also dying to find out what makes Water-
loo any better than Western by inviting, and paying, such luminaries of the left as Mr. Dyer to come and speak to us. Mr. Durnin will be hard-pressed to deliver a rational answer, but 1 am sure his attempt will provide some amusement on an otherwise routine Friday morning. However one feels about, Henry Kissinger and his role in American foreign policy, it does not alter the fact that we at Waterloo are missing one hell of an interesting,,speech. How many other interesting speakers has Waterloo missed because organizers are afraid of abuse from the likes of Mr. Durnin? Last week, the question was posed: Which university will get the better deal? That’s for the audience to decide Mr. Durnin. Randy Arthur 4B Computer Science

To the editor, m The Campus Centre is a place for people to come to visit, to sit and talk or just relax, but how can this be done with the current condition of our Campus Centre. Let’s face it, our CC is a dump. Both the furniture and the carpets should be replaced *and the centre needs redecorating in a major way. Also, the lighting around the centre is barely adequate to serve any useful purpose. The Campus Centre has been slowly deteriorating for a number of dears and it is about time that some-

“Scientists should boycott nuclear anything”, “. . . Inappropriate Technology” (Vo19, No. 20 p.4) and Stop Tritium production (Vol 9, No. 24, p-7). Are you people totally oblivious to the facts about nuclear power or just technologically regressive? Do you realize that CANDU reactors produce 75 per cent of the world’s cobalt-60 for cancer therapy? This treatment has saved over 13 million person-years of life since the treatment was developed in Canada. Without our CANDUs many human lives would be senselessly wasted, all _because some uninformed, technologically bemused, “ecologist” never understood the life-saving properties of certain nuclear materials! In addition, CANDUs produce most of the world’s molybdenum-99 for medical diagnostic use (no, you can’t make a bomb from this stuff!). Now, aside from the obvious medical uses from nuclear material, let’s look at a very important use of CANDU material in the Third World. Over 25 per cent of all food in underdeveloped countries is preserved by cobalt-60 irradiation. Simply stated the simpledminded “no-nuke” attitude will be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent lives in developing countries if implemented as national policy. By now, the “ecologists” are asking “why not use some other, ‘safer’ method of food preservation?” This is simply not possible as chemical preservatives are unsafe and refrigeration is not possible without a source of pwer (which, 1 may add, can be supplied by a power reactor). So there we have it, a choice, option 1: continue wt nuclear power, along with all its medical and mhumanitarian benefits (although we may have to live with a small amount of waste) or option 2: stop nuclear power, no more waste to worry about, and millions will die from cancer, undiagnosed medical problems and starvation. The choice is ours. For our sake, and that of the rest of the world, 1 hope that people begin to recognize that the opponents of nuclear research are holding an incoherent and vicious position. M.

A resume is “you” on paper. In the absence of, or in addition to, a personal interview, a resume conveys your qualifications, skills, and personality to an employer. It should reflect what makes you different and better than other applicants. In many instances the resume is the employer’s first impression of you, making the writing of a resume a very important step in landing a summer or permanent job.

*Acciepting public attitudes by Kathy Marsman Often times, being a vegetarian leads to uncomfortable situations. Society is so geared to meat-eating that defying this convention gives people the idea that we are insulting people who do eat meat, and many people take offense. 1 am a fairly recently converted vegetarian and 1 am still breaking the news to friends that have known me *for years as the omnivore I was. Rob is a friend of mine from Toronto and although he realized my vegetarian ways, his mother didn’t. My first dinner with his parents was distressing. To begin with, we arrived late, and to make matters much worse, his mother had prepared prime rib, which I simply could not eat. Needless to say, it was not a good impression. Wai-Lin is a friend of mine in London. Her family owns a Chinese restaurant, where we would pass many late night hours in my high school years. Chicken balls, moo goo guy pan and egg rolls were an understood tradition based on five years of consistency. . . it was practically ceremonial. My first visit back to the restau*ant as a vegetarian was pretty scary - the same dishes we had eaten for the past five years appeared on the table within minutes of my entrance. 1 felt I was insulting Wai-Lin’s family and being blatantly rude, but 1 could not eat it. I often feel 1 am being insulting when 1 start picking at l
things to search for hidden meat. Just recently, Kevin, a fellow Waterloo student, brought over quiche for dinner. To my dismay, there was bacon in the quiche. I attempted to be as discrete as possible, but I’m sure Kevin did not appreciate my culinary dissection activities. There would be a very easy way to avoid these situations, that is if 1 were to start eating meat again. But that simply won’t happen. If 1 were to only eat meat when I was in a spot that may offend someone if 1 didn’t eat meat, that would not solve the problem either. Occasional vegetarianism is a contradiction in terms, and if 1 am going to stop eating meat, consistency is crucial, or 1 would be compromising my beliefs.
Campus Question .
Question: Are you going to vote in this year’s Fed election? Why or why not?
1 am approaching the end of my first year a a vegetarian, and 1 feel most of the hurdles are passed. Sticking to my conviction in those uncomfortable situations was difficult, but rewarding in the end. Rob’s mom always thinks to cook something special for me when we come to dinner, and Wai-Lin’s restaurant’s menu has a lot of great dishes that we never would have tried before. And 1 think Kevin will understand in time that rejecting someone’s food is not the same as rejecting the person that prepared it. On February 9 from 4:30 until 6:30 in the Campus Centre Room 135, the vegetarian club is showing a film on vegetarianism. Everyone is welcome to attend.

No room for frats at UW *To the editor, There has been much talk in the Imprint about what has been called the “controversy” surrounding Fed ‘recognition of sororities and fraternities. I find this odd, *simply because I see no contra very. There is no issue here; Fraternities and sororities, by their ve nature cannot be eligrble for F cs status under any cirFed status is a privilege reserved for special interest groups on campus that any student, regardless of sex, religion, race or social rowess can join or partake in. ” c? reek clubs’ are exclusive organizations that discriminate, nG only by sex, if that is not bad enough, but in several incriminating ways. Members are handpicked or rejected according to the -&mount of prestige they ~6 bring to the clubs’ social standine. If you are not beautiful enoughT not athletic enou , or not fashronable enough (rea d “rich enough”), you cannot join. If you are too reli-
gious,too studious,too political,
or too proud to conform to their patheti&ocial values, you can not join either. I see no reason why I should have to pay Fed fees to
maintain Fed facilities so’that they can be used by social clubs that I could not possibly ‘oin, even if I wanted to. Why s hould students who are not “good enough” pay the way for these chauvinists? Frats and sororities argue that they are legitimized by their work in the’community. Although this is admirable, it does not excuse their offensive elitism, nor compensate for their use of campus facilities. Furthermore, I suspect that their charitable efforts are done less out of altruism, as much as they are a boost to the clubs social standing, as well as an ego tip for its members. I would never discourage any club from
doing good things for the cornmumty, but I would warn anyone reading this that Greek clubs should never be cc&used with social setice organizations. As for the frat pledge to improve campus life and school spirit, I can only say that I like our university the way it is, as I am sure that many other people do too. Modelling Waterloo’s structure and activities after American examples would not be an im rovement, but a sickening degra B ation.

Let’s Talk About ,
by Tom York &t week’s column- on the Carnegie Report documented the abysmal state of university education today. It seems appropriate to follow up this week with a statement of what would constitute “true education.” The following is excerpted from an address by Northrop Frye to the alumni of Victoria University (U of T) last fall. In the context of a worship service. Dr. Frye defined “the dedicated mind,” which is a product of university education at its best. Ten years ago there was a rush by security-minded students into what seemed at the time safe professions, medicine, law, engineering, computer science. But now many students have stopped domg that and are simply studying what most interests them, whether it is calculus or Classics, biology or Buddhism. We often say that in so uncertain a time it is the tramed mind that hq the best chance of survival, but it’s precisely one’s specific training that may go out of date. The mind best fitted for survival in any world is the mind that has discovered how knowledge can be joyful, leading to the friendship with wisdom that is pure delight, and is ready to tackle any kind of knowledge with Flarity of perception and intentness off will. I should call such a mind not a trained but a dedicated mind, and any business or profession would be lucky to have one. “In ordinarv sDeech we distintish between work and play: work is energy used f& i further end &view; play is energy u& f6r its own sake. Often enough, work is drudgery and play a killing of time: that makes all the more important those aspects of life in which work and play are close together, or become the same thing. If you look at what we associate with the word “play” you can see what I mean. We “play” the piano or tennis, or actors put on a “play,” and to do such playing well takes a lot of work. But work looks very different when some end in play is visible. For one thing, play is freedom: if we practice the pmno, we are setting ourselves free to play it. So play, freedom, wisdom, and all work directed toward these things, point most clearly to what human life should be like. It

of grief.
“In moments of despair or bereavement or horror, we find ourselves staring blankly into an unresponding emptiness, utterly frustrated by its indifference. We come from the unknown at birth, ant rejoin it at death with all our questions about it unanswered. Some times we wonder whether humanity is capable of living in any world at all where consciousness is really a function of life. In a century ol nuclear bombs and a pollution that threatens even the supply of atr tc breathe and water to drink, the human race often seems like a kinc of crazy Oedipus, obsessed by the desire to kill his father God ant rape his mother Nature. By father and mother I mean the spiritua and physical origins of humanity, whether we accept the sexual meta phors or not . . . ” Education prepares us to face the whole of life, and even the las enemy, Death. The years spent in university are a time when worl and play are much the same thing, and when one cultivates the habi of enlightened inquiry. Dr. Frye admits, however, that ‘There is n<: irony whatever in sa l ng that the memory of one’s experience as z student is more real t r an the experience itself.” (The Rev. Dr. Tom York is United Church His ofice is at St. Paul’s College.)
The assimilating of work and play is very clear in a university, where students are mature enough to see that the work of obtaining knowledge leads directly into an enlarging of outlook, the free play of an awakened mind. A century ago the philosopher Nietzsche . . . spoke also of a “joyful knowledge,” and ridiculed those who thought of the intellect as, in his words, “a clums , gloomy, creakmg machine, difficult to start.” Naturally, the worl cr is full of people who hate everything the university stands for, especially when they suspect that some pleasure may be involved. Dictatorships Fry to suppress the critical intelligence wherever they can; our own society is profoundly and perversely anti-intellectual; some religious ow think that only a blind faith can see clearly. All such attitu cres are dangerous to civilized life and abhorrent to the gospel.

member to be made aware of a wrong and arrive on the scene to rectify a problem, exposure may be temporarily achieved: a risk some candidates are willing to take. Furthermore, because the onus of proof is placed upon the committee, penalties laid are far and few between and complaints from candidates who feel that the committee is being too lenient on others run rampant. Banners may be tom down, damaged or stolen -definite grounds for disaualificationbut the culorit may remain “at large”, says \he CRO. On a more positive note, when asked about the possibility of conflict between present and future student executives, Kafieh was confident that no difficulties would arise. Probably because of the fact that the present execs are not running for office, it is believed that cooperation will prevail and the transition will go over smoothly. Jerry Kafieh is a 4A Health Studies student who has been actively involved in student politics since coming to Waterloo. He has served as speaker for Fed council, as a member of student senate, as president of the Health Studies Student Association, and as a member of the WPIRG board of directors.
The committee's er to penalize candidates p"or unfair campaigning practices was another major concern in this year% election, adds Kafieh. The committee has the power to disqualify a candidate (an extreme measure which is rarely carried out), the may tack on charges to the can (h:‘dates’ campaign spending limits (e.g. clean-up or removal charges are occasionally laid upon a candidate if his/her notices are posted illegally), or, the committee may sub tract from the rebate ted to eligible candidates at t r‘e end of the election. Candidates who receive at least 10 per cent of the vote cast in their constituency are entitled to a rebate of one-half of their expenses. Campai spending limits for presidenti a$ candidates, v-p candidates, and those running for council seats are $350, $200, and $75, respective1 . A candidate who overspends & more than $50 is recommended for disqualification. Since some candidates feel that they can afford to lose money (to a fine) and gain publicity, they are not always deterred from carrying out unfair campaigning practices, he says. In such instances, the election committee may be left feeling rather powerless. Over the time it may take for a committee

I mean, anybody from any background who has an interest in what’s going on on campus should run. I was involved with my college originally - that’s why I originally ran. I just sort of stepped up from there. “No, I don’t want to be prime minister. I have no political ambitions right now. I actually really want to go to France. But I couldn’t tell you what I want to do; I think some sort of management position would be good.

Carol: “I don’t have any political aspirations. That’s the actual reason why I chose the WOF position as opposed to university affairs because I’m not a political person. I’ve never really been involved in politics before: the business side is what interested me, and the management side and working with people. I thought those were some skills that are very valuable, no matter what sort of things you do. “So, I wanted to stay on that side for those reasons. And I think it did teach me a lot: the management and learning how to deal with people and, sort of, having to be a supervisor over your peers, is something that’s really hard. You have to try and find a balance which is really hard to do. “I think that was one of the difficult things because, especially in the summer, here I was getting paid to do something and they were getting the stipend and you expect a lot out of these people. I mean, the executive work really, really hard, and sometimes you have to realize that they’re not employees: these are volunteers, and they’re your peers, as well.

Few dtend Beginning with a review of his experiences as an active member of the Federation,. presidential candidate Ian Mitchell stated that he would make a “very effective leader” if elected. Mitchell said that the issues in his campaign were the quality of student life and education, and student representation. In this respect, Mitchell said, the North Campus townhouses should be looked upon as “a longterm project” that would enhance the quality of student life, even if their rent should rise above $250 per ,month. Mitchell would also like to see greater accountability for student fees on the part of the UW administration, the completion of a course evaluation system, and greater student input and response to the activities of the Federation of Students. . Presidential candidate Joel Perron deviated from the other candidates’ views of the major issues, stating that “the core problem is that students feel isolated: they don’t have control over their environment.” As such, Perron said, if elected he would implement what he calls “a Student Campus Change Project” that would provide students- with both practical experience and academic credit for getting involved on campus. As an example, Perron said Psychology students could conduct a study on the effects of stress at the university, while Environmental Studies students could study various aspects of pollution on campus. Perron also said he would like to see “greater student impact” at UW, and that he could deal with the “other issues.” Presidential hopeful Mark Hovey declared that “the issue is students.” He would like to see all, three phases of the North Campus townhouse project completed, but said he would “lobby against’* a rent over $250. Hovey also said that he would

as candidates, like to see a breakdown of the costs of the Co-operative Education pro gram before agreeing to any fee increases, that he was committed to expanding “safety on campus” setices such as the safety van and lighting, and_ that he would like to see greater student participation, citing current student apathy. Hovey was also concerned about the underfunding of athletics at UW and promised to expand these facilities, if elected. Vice-president - university affairs candidate Shane Carmichael began his oratory with a pledge to improve athletic facilities at UW. He said that, if elected, he would “force the UW administration to at least start a pro ject of expanding the PAC”, saying that the university ranked last in On tario in funding per student for athletics.‘Other projects Carmichael would like to see include the completion of a course evaluation booklet, greater lobbying of both the provincial go vernment and the City of Waterloo for increased grants, and the expansion of the safety features on campus, such as the safety van. “I am comrhitted to the well-being of the students”, Carmichael said. “I can do the job, and I’ll ensure the same commitment from those who work under me.” Allan Rothwell plugged himself for the VPUA position by stating how involved he has been with the Villages, the planning department, and as captain of the varsity football team. “I have the leadership capabilities”, he said. “I come from the grass roots: I know what the problems are.” Rothwell said that $250 per month in rent was “an upper limit” for the North Campus townhouses, that he would, if elected, complete a central computerized housing list including co-op housing in other cities, and that he would lobby for increased lighting and security patrols on cam-

for weekend visitors” as well as push for a wider variety of bands at Fed Hall to make the pub “more things to more people.” Aboucher would also like to see greater alternative uses made of the Hall, such as an annual fashion show. Aboucher said that he would take a “long-term financial perspective of budgeting” with respect to the Federation debt. The Three Amigos were also present at the Forum, each resplendent in a blue leather UW jacket, dark glasses, and a sparkling sombrero. Presidential candidate Steven King said that he represented “the average Joe student who is broke like us.” King said that, if elected, he would: recognize fraternities; reduce the noise level in the Campus Center; change his title from “president” to “big tamale” on a referendum basis; reduce the Fed Book size and make it free; “change the UW radio station into one that students can enjoy”; and create a “men’s commission to balance the Women’s Commission.” Representing the VPUA Amigo, ’ Adam Clyde said that, if elected, he would institute a two-to-three hour siesta from 11:30 a.m. every day to allow students to get involved. He also said that he would increase Federation funding for booze and bring
back the Happy Hour in an effort tc “improve the quality of student life.” “We got involved”, Clyde said, ref, erring to the Three Amigos. “We would appreciate your support ii you’re willing to support us.” As the only other VPOF candidate, and the third Amigo, Mike Morden came up with some novel ideas that he would implement if elected: “abol ish night-time” to avoid costly ‘stu dent safety’* ‘features; “lower the boiling point of water” to reduce heating bills; stop the clapping at UW basketball games; open the Bombshelter at 1 p.m. on Saturdays; and limit the monthly rent for the North Campus townhouses to $249.95. In the Question-and-Answer period that followed the candidates’ formal statements, four questions dominated the discussion. They are: l/ Would you support the North F$I~;TUS townhouses if rent was over 2/ What would you propose to do about the rising Co-op fees? 3/ Would you give official Federation recognition to UW fraternities? 4/ What would you do to improve the entertainment at Fed Hall? The candidates’ answers are given in the following table, albeit in an abbreviated form (see January 23 IMPRINT for elaboration):

The building of Federation Hall incurred a large debt above and beyond the mortgage. The debt has strained the Federation in its effectiveness for the past two years.

Presently we have a $3.,000 budget for campus entertainment. Before Federation Hall we could afford to bring in bands hke The Clash and Joe Jackson. The amount of money in the entertainment and speakers budgets should be increased significantly.

Political Representation!
Political continuity and research are the two weakest aspects of our whole organization. Year after year there is very little understanding of the issues from the year before. It is essential. to provide political continuity if we are to become a stronger lobbying force. It is extremely important to research the issues that will be affecting Waterloo students. It is naive to believe that student leaders can be totally prepared without some background research. There is a need for a full time researcher helping to strengthen our fight against underfunding, the housing shortage, computer fees, the lack of student space on campus and issues that will develop year after year.

Presently because of the debt from Federation Hall we are in a higher risk position.

pus. Above all, Rothwell said, he would like to “open up the Federation and make it available to the students.” VPUA hopeful Dave Cameron declared that he was running “as an independent” because he felt that “the students should be able to decide on all three executive positions.” Cameron said “it is very important that the student representatives have worked with the administration” as he has so that they can work’effectively toward increasing funding for UW, citing the $1.8 million lost because of the computer fee cancellation and the $1.4 million annual operating budget of the Davis Building as causes of the UW deficit. Cameron would also like to see the completion of a course evaluation booklet (“I’ve been working on it for the past year”), and more “bigger” guest speakers on campus, if elected. Lisa Skinner launched her oratory for the VPUA position by declaring that “the issue is students.” As the only female candidate, Skinner said that she was “dedicated to women’s issues” such as the expansion of lighting on campus and the safety van facility. The welldressed Skinner cited her two years experience with the Federation as qualifications for the VPUA position, saying that she was “familiar with the issues and the students.” Skinner said that she was committed to completing all three phases of the North Campus townhouse project, and that, if elected, she would open up the university to the community through improved campus events and lobby for an increased PAC budget. Seeking the position of vice president -- operations and finance, Andrew Aboucher declared that, if elected, he would “expand the Federation bus facility to more cities and. include a return trip to Toronto

,OFS chair reflects on success .of term by Bridget Moioney Imprint staff The Ontario federation of Students elected a new chairman at its general meeting in Hamilton two weeks ago. Laurentian University’s Sheena Weir was selected to replace Matt Certosimo, who came to the job from Wilfrid Laurier University. This year marks the 15th anniversary of the OFS and Certosimo, whose term as chairman ends in June, had several comments to make as he reflected on his term in off ice. Certosimo identified the following as important initiatives undertaken this year and areas where he saw positive results: - The OFS put together a campaign between August and November with strong input from the University of Waterloo to allow university students to vote in municipal elections. Certosimo said the municipal election reform was an excellent example of how the OFS, together with input from various universities in the province, was able to jump into the campaign and have,an impact on the situation. Greg Sorbara, minister of colleges and universities, gave a commitment on the student voting issue. - Certosimo “looks back fondly” on the results of the aggressive lobby campaign against raising the drinking age. The OFS effectively portrayed to the public through the media a positive image of students and alcohol. Alcohol awareness and responsibility has been increased among students through, for example, BACCHUS (Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students) and less emphasis on the consumption of alcohol during frosh week. The drinking age and other political issues have been

successfully represented by the OFS and Certosimo said a more positive, responsible profile of students in general has resulted from both strong student government input and action of the part of the OFS. - OSAP reform was a key concern for Certosimo. Due to a strong effort by the OFS, OSAP will be reviewed by the ministry of colleges and universities and extension of the current eligibility period of four years for OSAP funding will likely occur. With the OSAP reform a student will be required to complete the form only once during first year. Through OSAP apply clinics held by the OFS students brought forth their concerns which were logged and then presented to the ministry of colleges and universities. - Incidental computer fees were abolished. Student leaders at our university, under the direction of Federation of Students President Scott Forrest, put forth a tremendous effort in getting students concerned about the fee involved in the lobby against it. The co-op fee is also under review by the OFS. Students should be informed as to what the coop fee does for them, why it increases so drastically and if it is fair. Certosimo said the incidental fees issue exemplified the excellent levels of participation by individual student governments together with the OFS. Recommendations for improved student housing will be sent to the minister of housing next month. Under the current Landlord and Tenant Act students have little protection. For example, students renting a single room with a family or in a boarding house have no security and may be thrown out without notice. There is currently a bylaw limiting the number of unrelated individuals who may live in one house. Students, especially in Water-
participated last week by Rick Guderian
loo, are at a disadvantage because of their lack of security and low housing availability. Students living in residences have no privacy protection (exemplified by security’s breaking into students’ rooms in the Villages two years ago). Certosimo, who has been appointed by the minister of housing to a committee representing housing issues, knows these issues are concerns of University of Waterloo students as well as students at universities across the province and is attempting to improve the housing situation and increase government funding. In addition, Certosimo said he was proud to be a part of the lobbying which created a new position in the government. The Manager of Inter-, national Affairs will work toward try ing to lower the differential fees for foreign students wishing to enroll in an Ontario university. Foreign students pay five to six times more than Canadian University students. OFS research has discovered that lower differential fees will allow more foreign students to enter the province which means local economies will be positively affected, trade relations with foreign countries will improve and good future government relations will result. Certosimo was also pleased to participate in Laurentian University’s campaign to receive voting rights on the Board of Governors. Laurentian is the last university in Canada to receive voting rights. As well, Certosimo said it was gratifying to be a part of the campaign which will now allow college students voting rights. Sheena Weir, chairman-elect, will replace Certosimo when his term ends in June. Certosimo stated that “I made mistakes I hope she will learn from, just as I learned from my own mistakes.” He said during this year, more than others, “energy was
in one of the faculty’s
semi-regular
ground-
turned into successes” and “significant steps in policy areas that affect students were made.” It is vital that the “OFS continue its role to take what student governments feel is important and lobby for it,” he said. The OFS is the second largest lobby group in the provincial government. When asked to comment on Greg Sorbara, minister of colleges and universities, Certosimo replied, “I had a good amount of respect for the minister. He was always open to meeting with me and the OFS.” Certosimo said that although the minister had good ideas, he lacked “political guts” and was “compromising his ideals” by being overcautious. Certosimo pointed to the computer fee incident which saw the fee abolished while tuition was increased five per cent, effectively nullifying the move. Certosimo claimed “he could have come down on the side of the students. OSAP reform was also continuously delayed by the minister, he added. Certosimo is concerned with the effect the increasing cost of tuition
will have on accessibility. “As the costs for students to go to university increase, we increase the barriers for those who can’t afford university. We want a leader with the inspiration to overcome pragmatic concerns,” said Certosimo. “I’m the first chairman to be able to say something positive about government funding. Sorbara’s predecessors couldn’t convince the government of the need for university funding . . . now there is more acceptance . . . we’ve broadened the message, not just focused on Sorbara.” In response to a question about his immediate future plans, Certosimo replied that his mind is occupied with - thoughts of a two-month tour of university campuses and community groups coming up. April will be a “recovery” month -and-during June he will be searching for a summer job like most other students. He will return to Wilfrid Laurier full time in the fali to complete his political science degree after which he will either apply to law school, obtain his masters degree or travel Europe to “find” himself.
Laurentian’s Weir new OFS chairman by Stephanie Kuxdorf Imprint staff The Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) held their elections two weeks ago and Sheena Weir from Laurentian University was voted the new chairman to replace Matt Certosimo in June of this year. Weir will be moving to the OFS office in Toronto in May. Weir has just completed her B.A. in History at Laurentian in Sudbury and is currently taking several electives as well as working for the student union and the residences there. She first became interested in OFS when she attended a conference in Toronto last year, with the president of the Laurentian Student Union, and decided to run in the elections this term. Weir said the primary issues she is currently concerned with are the availability of university education for all those that want it and, particularly, OSAP. She said she would like to see loans available to more students, with an increase in grants and an increased grant eligibility period. Another major concern is for Francophone students, who are unable to receive adequate education in their native tongue. This problem is especially apparent in northern Ontario - an issue that hits close to home for Weir. She said that OFS is considered very bilingual and there should be increased support for France-phone students. She said that she is also concerned with international
student issues and is pleased with the results of a recent O’FS survey on visa students. Weir said Greg Sorbara, minister of colleges and universities should “watch out” for students. She said that Sorbara is veiy relaxed at the moment, and a little too comfortable with students. There is much work to be done and OFS will continue to pressure him, she said. Weir said Sorbara doesn’t understand the dilemmas students are facing in. these times of economic difficulty, especially with respect to tuition and incidental fees. Weir described her relationship with Queen’s Park as “so far so good”. She has attended Question Period and a conference in October of last year and is building up a rapport with the politicians. She said the opposition parties have been good in their support of OFS and hopes that this trend will continue. Weir added that Scott Forrest, president of UWs Federation of Students, took a lead in the issue of incidental fees and that she would like to see this good relationship with OFS maintained. She said a survey of incidental fees was done on students, but she is not convinced of its accuracy, and would like to further investigate the results. This year marks the 15th anniversary of OFS as a lobbying group for students. Weir said that she is excited about her new position and hopes L for a successful term.

Where all the. parts come together
.i
by Todd Schneider Imprint staff Steve Cornall; like another athlete on wheels these davs, is a man with a mission. He wants to spread the world aboui fitness to the wide public, and make it not only physically rewarding, but fun as well. *
l
On a part time basis he runs a business called Athlete’s Training Peak (ATP), whose initials are a play on the biochemical adenosine triphosphate. An affable, wiry man with an easy smile, he is not at all the cliche of the musclebound jock just an enthusiast with a. BSc. in Kinesiology who will set up an aerobics training
program for anyone regardless of physical experience. . His main tool for fitness is the bicycle but not the CCM specials your folks may have given you for your 10th birthday. His suppliers, the famous Marinoni house of Montreal, are world-renowned and carry on the fine ltalian tradition of cycling with a dose of new world technofu<. He says he is ’ able to provide you with just about any touring or racing bike, custom or stock or somewhere in between, at a competitive price to the trade shops. But the bikes are only as good as the components, and these he waxes rhapsodic about. I was inundated with details about the gear-shifting systems available (including Campagnolo - the “Porsche of bicycles”), S-L versus S-P tubing (with
brass welding - “for strength where it counts”), and other design considerations. But the bottom line was that if you get a good frame to start, you can upgrade the other components as you see fit. And fitting is everything. In the corner of the room, I saw what I thought was a disassembled training bicycle. Steve explained that it was really an anthropometric device, to make the frame fit the rider’s unique proportions. Unmatched bicycles make for easier injuries, and this in turn _ makes for disillusioned would-be athletes. Steve wears another hat as a fitness consultant. Although he is selting bikes, he does a fitness assessment first, then puts a bike together if that will meet the longterm fitness goals of the client. He will start you off on a six-week program, evaluate it with you after that time has passed, then plan from there. One aspect that Steve admits is not well addressed in his consulting is nutrition. But he readily agreed that his business . might be part of a person’s overall health program, with traditional physicians at one end, kinesiologists and other physiotherapists in the middle, and the alternative medicines coming out the other side. But he is not without criticism of the mainstream doctors: pill-pushers with too much emphasis on rest for repair. Although I didn’t see the diploma on the wall, I had no doubt that Steve was a Waterloo graduate. He spoke excitedly about h acquisition, a heart-rate monitor tha signals from a device on the wrist strapped around the chest - and sto on a PC-compatible disk for la This technology will be used on to measure the client’s progress. are slowing their heart rate, an under- or over-training.
. . . . ’
biggest mistakes we can make is failing to take that into account.
But Steve is not a cyberneticists’ tool. For one thing, he makes sure he tests everything he sells, and resists the manufacturer-driven advertising campaigns. This point took an ugly turn when I was regaled to the debate over chamois-covered versus naked-crotch riding shorts, and the ineffectiveness of leather helmets in protecting against head injuries, but these are the burdens of investigative journalism . . . We also spoke at some length about the problem people have when they think of the body as an infinitely adaptable machine. “We all have a genetic potential for performance,” he noted, “and one of the
.
_
as well. Overemphasizing sport in your life, to the exclusion of other elements, leads to an imbalance. Those with great natural ability sometimes find it hard to chill out, and push themselves far too hard. Leaming to accept their limitations can be a very threatening experience, Steve says, sipping his glass of mineral water. He traces his own interest in biking to the influence of a former classmate, Canadian pro racer Steve Bauer. A ribbon winner in judo and wrestling, Comall found that after awhile these were taking their toll on his back, yet he still wanted to be active. Bauer’s commitment was a positive inspiration into this other arena. In the repair room, hanging from the ceiling, is a bike made personally by former Canadian racer Jocelyn Lovell, now a paraplegic after an auto accident. It’s now one of Steve’s ikons. Besides the business and the personal involvement, Steve has begun to branch out to the public by teaching various classes in safe biking, biking for fitness classes through Campus Ret, and bike ‘.. But his most visible advocacy of the sport comes from his organizing of races. Last year saw the debut of the Ring Road classic here at the university, and this year he promises a three-day, 200.kilometre run as well as a celebrity tournament in honour of Canada Fit Week

After a couple of weeks’ delay, James Cotton finally made the trip up from Chicago to Kitchener’s own Coronet -- the stripping center of the Western world. James, among the best two or three blues mouth-harp players alive, ran through a set of standards like Sweet Home Chicago, Drowning on Dry Land and all those others that everyone has heard too many times for comfort. His seven-piece band was tight, with the rhythm set tion finally loosening up during the second set. The band played a couple of instrumentals before each set. It was only during these numbers that they really showed the quality of their musicianship -- especially Noel Neal on bass, who played with such speed and control that the only appropriate action was openmouthed awe. After the band’s pyrotechnics, it was almost a disappointment when James st,epped on the stage . . .

At Saturday’s Lacanference, held ,at St. Jerome’s College, the decon!structionist theories and methods of :psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, were explicated, criticized, applied to works of literature, and deconstrutted themselves. If I wanted to summarize, deconstructionist theory in one sentence, 11would say that its aim is to illuminate the oppressive nature of totalizing discourses. After reading this sentence however, you would likely go running for the nearest sports page. Because the jargon of decon’ struction is so difficult, art and literature are often more successful mediums of relaying the same ideas to a wider group of people. One of the m-o.& successful writers to do this has been John Barth, in whose Giles Goat Boy the university serves as a slippery metonym for political institutions, psychology, philosophy - indeed, for any discourse which claims its ability to arrive at Truth. Barth’s university signifies even universities themselves which, as L. Lyons said at the

With the only Canadian appearance of the world renowned Czech Philharmonic, the management of The Centre In The Square was extoling the virtues of this world class’ hall; its fine acoustics in ample display on the eve of January 27. Though the powers that be must be slightly disappointed . by the unpacked house (less than 60 per cent - a good guess), they can not feel cheated by the music delivered. The overall musical package was stun ning. _ Opening with Bedrich Smetana’s (1824-1884) Ouerture to the Opera, The Bartered Bride, the orchestra displayed their superb control which would follow throughout the evening. The entire orchestra, approximately 75 members, moved like a single instrument. A trimmed ensemble, approximately 40 players, received warm applause for its presentation of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s (1756-1791) Symphony No. 38 in D major, K.504 (“Prague”). The audience reception, appreciative but not overtly spirited, was a good reflection of the performance. The entire work smacked of accordance, except a few slurs in the exposed wind passages in the Presto, but lacked the spice, the accents, which would raise this music to unparalleled heights. Conductor Jiri Belohlavek must be saddled with this shortcoming. What ever Mr. Belohlavek and orchestra failed to bestow upon Mozart, they certainly remedied those ails .for the Symphony No. 9 in E minor Opus 95 (From the New World) by Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904). Be it the wonderfully tempered Largo, especially the pianissimo string passages, or the brisk pace of the Finale: Allegro con fuoco with its tight, clipping rhythms; this was a stunning aural feast. This symphony was aptly chosen for this East meets West program because it highlights Dvorak’s impressions of the melodic structures of North American Indian music and the pentatonic scale harmonies of Negro spirituals, accompanied by the undercurrent of Bohemian

This orchestra’s history is an impressive statement of musical heritage. Still remaining an all-male unit, this ensemble’s roots are founded in’ Prague - the Conservatory of Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries. Prague was‘ then the well from which Europe drew some of its finest virtuosos and this quality has not diminished. Created out of the Prague National Theatre Orchestra
to perform a symphonic repetoire, this orchestra’s list of conductors states their prominence. Names like Grieg, Strauss, Wagner, Mahler, Bernstein, Szell, and Klemperer are but a few of the distinguished maestros who have commanded this orchestra.

Lmdon, Ontario, the city that has spawned such musical greats as Guy Lx>mbardo, Tommy Hunter, and the Den&s, is currently the home of a mature underground music scene. Two clubs, the Key West Cafe and Call The Office, are the venues for a wide assortment of alternative music offered in this fair city. A definite contrast to the K-W area, where the intimacy of club gigs are close to non-existent. On stage last Friday night at Key West, Sheep Look Up displayed why they are the best known band from the Forest City. A recent tour that included opening for Gene Loves Jezebel and six dates with Love and Rockets across Canada, accompanied by the release of strong four song EP, has given this band a much vaunted status in alternative music circles across our nation. The Sheep are a solid veteran unit. Their two sets of the evening consisted of a careful balance of pop stylings as in The Papers, to loud numbers such as Wordless One. However, this band is at their best while creating moody,
Though the somewhat muffled and crackling P.A. at Key West hampered the usual powerful Sheep vocal delivery, the focus of their music on this night centered of the well-defined bass work of Mark Deroux and the steady stem drumming of Greg Moore. Added to this combo was a sprinkling of keyboards and sax during the lighter moments, and some raw guitar action at the anthemic points. A wonderful package ofnew music rock ‘n’ roll. Demo work, more touring, and perhaps U.S. distribution of their debut EP are upcomin for Sheep Look Up. College ra li ‘o play of their songs, particularily Falashu, is a must as this band has the appeal to lure the clean-cut crew down from the “country club on the hill” to downtown London.

appeal. Saturday night at Call The Office, Suffer Machine presented their aggressive, original wares before a large but UMIOV~~ crowd. The fact the response from the patrons of the office was not as wild as usual for Suffer Machine gigs was a surprise as this band serves up driving tunes with plenty of sweat. Whether it was the fact that this reviewer was not in the all-important groove due to an over4ndulgence of substances or if the band itself only reached their groove intermittently through their sets can be debated. The band can be partially blamed for state this reviewer was in, since they made it known that the Suffer clan was receiving a percentage of the bar as payment for the evenings endeavours. Therefore, drink up and support indie music! All confusion aside, Suffer Machine’s live performances are characterized by the aggressive antics of lead singer Peter Tang&i, and the disparate sax fills and background vocals of Lisa Patterson. The song Nostradbmus was perfom@ Saturday night with an excellent live fervour as the sludgy bass line and choppy guitar rhythm was precisely interluded by a crashing of keyboards and sax. Suffer Machine hopes to gain a distribution deal for their debut album, Deprogram, just like Sheep Look Up. However they feel that the European route may be the way for the band to make it as they believe that their musical stylings could more suited to the overseas tastes. Sheep Look Up and Suffer Machine are the two best bands from London. Be on the look for them and catch them on vinyl or live. You won’t be disappointed.

W. P. Kiusella The Fencepost Chronicles I PO pages, $9.95 by Chris WodskOU
In W. P. Kin&la’s fictional world of the Ermineskin Indians of Hobbema, Alberta, anything can, and usually does, happen. Some things we can take for granted, however: that either the government or big business will do their best to mess up the Indians’ lives; that Frank Fencepost and Silas Ermineskin will manage to get themselves in some ridiculous situation; and that the results will probably be humorous. The Fencepost Ch.ronicles is the latest in the White Rock, B.C.based writer’s series of short story collections, taking a break from the m ‘cal baseball lore he has recent Py gained such notoriety for to concentrate on his other major concern, the life and struggle of the Canadian Indian caught between his heritage and the modernization sweepmg up everything in its path. It is to Kinsella’s credit that he can combine humor and comment to produce potent satire without making the comic scenes seem stilted - and sentimental and without making it hard to take the $ght$tltftlt~ devil-may-care paa: seriously .
Ermine&ins are between identities and trapped between two seemingly irreconcilable cultures, but every attempt they make to bridge lifestyles are thwarted or at least complicated by the meddlesome hand of the white man, inevitably portrayed as slimy, avaricious fools. They must contend with a police force intent on enforcing temperance on a people who have had every pleasure except drinking taken from them by the white world. They have to live with a government which on one hand is foisting the technological age upon them while also trying to maintain a tourist attraction of featherfestooned warriors doing rain dances. Through duping the white man at every opportunity and expounding on their callousness, Kinsella manages to induce rounds of guffaws and a sense of outrage on the same page.
“Check out the equipment on those suckers. I musta been a bull in a former life.“) are stock characters, but Kinsella’s humor is at its best when he sticks them in realistic situations and lets unlikely escapades develop out of them. The main fault of the The Fencepost Chronicles is that by the time you get to the seventh or eighth story, you get that “notthat-again” feeling. For a bunch of bored Indians who spend the better part of their afternoons at the Hobbema hotel and the better part of their evenings in blearyeyed recovery, Frank and Silas lead pretty full lives, breaking into Buckmgham palace and the Queen’s bedroom, meeting the Pope, almost freezing to death inside a caribou carcass and managing a bankrupt baseball team in Montana among other things -- all in the space of 190 pages. Nothing is predictable in Kinsella’s world, but thin are a lot easier to swallow w 8”en the scenarios at least start out believably.

Centre plays host to all-French program by Peter Lawson Imprint staff

An all-French musical program filled the Centre in the Square on January 30 and 31. Continuing the the Masterpiece series, symphony Kitchener-Waterloo Orchestra, under the baton of Raffi Armenian, presented works by Milhaud, Ravel, Matton, and Debussy. The evening began with the fun blended music of -us M&au& (1892-1974)

Le Boeuf sur le toit.
After a stay in Brazil, the Frenchman, Mhaud returned to Paris where he composed Le Boeuf sur Ze toit. The music is a pot-pourri of sounds -- borrowing a B&lian folk meilody and rhythms, the sound of American music-hall, barconventional European monies, and some spooky 20th Century dissonance. The piece dances about these contrasting styles, gaining added zest from the humour of strummed violins and the bouncing of bows on the strings (rhythmic effect). .

ment of two bassoons was striking. The delicate Adagio is sandwiched between the vibrant AllegrameMe and Presto movements. Ravel confessed to having borrowed j= influences. Oddly the sound is reminiscent of what at present is called New Age Music. The second half of the program involved another Canadian, Quebet composer Roger M&ton (b. 1929).

The literary world invaded the Waterloo’s Kent Hotel, domain of exotic dancers and swill-dog heaven, on Saturday night at a held to launch Eric P , M& % rmack’s ne;Cg&isspecting Vault.
En ‘sh professor despite thg Kez sta Pfs inability to spell his name correctly, now faces a sudden shot at fame. sud Turnout for the event was impressive, a wall to wall selection of students and colleagues showed up for an evening of somewhat blurry culture. A CBC Journal camera crew was on hand as well
to catch McCormack on tape as part of a feature story tentatively scheduled for February 13. The culture end of the evening began with McCormack’s reading of a short paragraph from his new release, which was read to the crowd three times for the benefit of T.V. land. Once the Journal had the required number of camera angles down, McCormack moved on to a chapter from his upcoming novel. The work read takes place in the jungles of Mexico, and follows the brzarre tale of man forced to witness and undergo a variety of native ceremonies while imprisoned by a hostile tribe. At the hands of the tribal shaman the victim becomes a human greenhouse of horticultural horror. The words haunting and humorous come to mind.
UW’s writer-in-residence Sean Virgo chose to read a newly written short story, a powerful work considering it had been laid to paper only that afternoon. The entitled The Tautolian pi=, Epistemology of Fergus McBride, involved a son’s account of the lusty adventures of his frees irited father. McBride travels t K e world, constantly sending home a variety of illegitimate offspring to swell the family ranks. Once again, a bizarre and

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff As the guiding force behind the various permutations of Parliament and Funkadelic, the seminal funk bands of the ‘7Os, George Clinton is responsible for shaping the face of a great deal of today’s dance music. Virtually any funk or funk-influenced outfit today owes a large debt to the cosmofunkleosis Clinton developed, taking hi-energy soul about three steps further than Sly Stone ever dreamed of in his spookiest trips; once the nutty perfesser of funk sinks those pointy bicuspids of his into a nice. meatw sroove. ain’t-
nothing less than an earthquake registering 8.7 on the Richter Scale -gonna shake him out of it. . Clinton’s solo work, anthologized on this brilliant collection covering his four post P-Funk albums, is perhaps not as influential as his earlier work, but as booty-, butt-, and brain-shaking funk it can’t be beat. The club hits from Atomic Dog to Do Fries Go With That Shake, classic hip-grinding workouts, are paraded along with lesser-known greats like Double Oh-Oh and Nubian Nut; all eight tracks blow the beatbox off 90 per cent of the limp, blip-blip muck that wafts over most club P.A.‘s. But in spite of the devastating beat which flies off the top rope like an atomic elbow drop to the solar plexus region, the real strength behind George Clinton is that he sounds as good over a stereo as he

does through an 80,000 watt club sound system. Clinton is a consummate arranger and producer, combining multi-layered African rhythms (Clinton is acknowledged by Go-Go bands like TroubleFunk as a major influence) with omnipotent beats, spacey and hypnotic keyboard lines, and choruses sung by something approaching a choir (Prince would be lying through his teeth if he denied a Clinton and Sly Stone influence) to produce a baroqueness rivalled in dance music perhaps only by Go-Go. He can keep your mind b;usy along with your feet and-that’s no small feat in clubland. Clinton’s fans needn’t bother with The Best Of George Clinton they’ll have all or most of this already. But anyone with even the slightest interest in the world of funk should investigate this man and his music immediately.

plenty of edgy, chopping guitar riffs, and element of truth rounds out the first side with its weaving texture and terribly danceable stance. If this band neve; meets grandeur, at least element of truth should be pressed onto vinyl to become a cult classic. Its hooking melody (well resolved) is juxtaposed against Seth Matson’s vocals. The poetic content is tinged with sarcasm and is more cheery than those hailed groans of Joy Division, though not much. Side B does not equal the force of side A. Though step right up contains those edgy guitar jangles, nothing like the sun is just another tune in this genre of “new music”. The astringent vocals do not raise this tune beyond mediocrity - more uncomplimentary than enhancing. Fo! such a young group, formed in July 1985, this debut is nothing to sneer at - element of truth is beyond criticism. At present Seth vatson and lain Grant (guitar) are on campus but reside in Guelph (the birth place of the weathermen). A video for element of truth is brewing for a possible shot in March or April. They hope for future gigs in the K-W area, London and possibly Toronto - the “Gary’s” are showing interest. Maybe Fed Hall would consider a date (hint . . .).

Now they’ve got Oran “Juice” .Jones and Tashan, a couple of soft soul artists, Slayer -kings of speed metal and The Junkyard Band, sub& of this review.

Go-Go has often suffered from its unrepentant “party all the time” ethic, GeGo with guts is a pleasant precedent.
today, I&&s Blow&s managd to have success for the longest period of time. Never reluctant to change his sound as fashion has demanded,- he has scored big rap hits over a period of eight yearrr.

So, he ca lred in the Kings of Go-Go; Trouble Funk, to help him out with I’m Chillin’ (Club Records) released quite recently. Robert Reed, the only Trouble Funkster availible (as James Avery was busy remixing a Julian Cope song), pves KUIXS the ‘to ~ the bridge” groove he needs and... Kurtis doesn’t do much with it. He only raps for a miniscule amount of time and, to fill the rest in, he borrows part of a Tranformers commercial. What the hell, I still Iike the single. The last single on the list is who Is It? (Sleeping Bag Records) remixed from Mantronix’ great Music Machine LP. Apparently, ‘working with Hanson 8z Davis, Nom-a and the like has taught beat programmer Mantronik how to flesh auf the sound of his losing records without the rhythmic toughness. Who Is It? has some fme rapping, some heavy-duty beats and a bag o’coool electronic effects -- what more do feets need??
by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff In spite of the DOOM-portenting title, this is probably the tamest The Fall have got yet. A new pop sensibility which we were warned of with ‘85’s Cruiser’s Creek means a cleaned-up, smoothed-out, and trimmed-down Fall from The Wonderful And Frightenins World Of The Fall and This Nation’s Saving Grace, their last two studio offerings. The result can be as inanely, annoyingly catchy as that damned chirping synth line in Shoulder Pads #1 & 2 (yep, there’s a version on each side on the remote chance that you don’t get sick of it the first time !around), but old fans from their Toj tally Wired and earlier days should ‘take heart that the BIG, tribal drums, chugga-chugga bass and chunky guitars are still the pulse that drives The Fall - they just make sense when you put ‘em all together now instead of total anarchy. Mark E. Smith’s disciples of willful obscurity will be pleased to know ‘that his lyrics and singing are as incomprehensible as ever, usually having the same effect as a person shouting at you from the other side of Fed Hall. I’m sure if you really
tried you could find something vaguely meaningful in his garbled chants, now cbming through a megaphone, now coming through a drainage pipe, but with everything else going on here, I’m not sure it’s really worth the effort. Perhaps he’s best treated as just a further flavouring to their dense mix. Mind you, it can be pretty aggravating on som.ething like Terry Waite Sez, apparently dedicated to the Anglican hostage negotiator who was reportedly still alive at press time. What, exactly, the great man is saying - or at least what he means - however, is destined to rank with Jimmy Hoffa’s disappearance as one of the great unsolved mysteries of the past quarter-century. Elsewhere, you really don’t care what he’s saying - that’s how good the toons are. R.O.D., and British Grenadiers are as infectious as pop gets and Brix Smith’s vocals are finally put to the fore as they always should have been on songs like Dktr Faustus, completing that classic ’60s pop feel we’ve had tantalizing tastes of in her side project, The Adult Net. Only the interminable Riddler relives past sins of self-indulgence and monotone tedium. As Mark E. Smith’s vocals become more cryptic and imposSible to take seriously, Brix has come into her own as a guitarist and the pair have learned how to write the accessible pop/rock ’ song.

Flying Nun ta by Tim Perlich Imprintstaff
. Those of you who thought that all New Zealand had to offer in the way of pop music was the wretched Split Enz or the tenifitally banal Crowded House will be surprised to learn that one of the world’s most exciting pop scenes (apart from Australia and Sweden) is bubbling under its lid. Most, if not all, of the important groups record for a label called Flying Nun based in Christchurch. The small ,but mighty independent was assembled in 1981 by Roger Shepherd and later assisted by ex-Toy Love singer Chris Knox and soundman Doug Hood along with their 4-track TEAC. It took just $50 for the three to record The Clean’s Boodle, BOOdie, Boodle EP (a follow up to the group’s first singl;ac~ly HO!) which twice New Zealand’s Top 10 and spent six months in the Top 50. The label was on its way. ~ The label has since grown to support a roster of about 20 currently active bands from all across New Zealand. Though Shepherd vehemently denies the existence of a distinct ‘Flying Nun Sound’ the groups seem to share an openness to experimentation in taking apart pop- and putting it back together in a wav which hasn’t p&iously been co&idered. Most of the bands on the Flying Nun label can be heard on the compilation LPs Out-numbered By Sheep and Tuatara. Outnumbered By Sheep functions as a showcase for the latest additions to the Flying Nun stable while Tuatara provides a we&documented chromcle of the label’s output from its early liod through to the present. tE mprised of 12 songs contributed by 12 bands (including: The Clean, Children’s Hour, Sneaky Feelings, The Bats, Tall Dwarfs, The Chills, The Verlaines and others), TWltara demonstrates the label’s diversity which has kept it creatively vital. The geographical isolation of New Zealand has had what could be seen as a positive effect on these bands in that their music seems to have developed totally oblivious to current fashion or trends -- they so&d like nothing else on the planet. This is the sound of young New Zealand.

From as far back as 1981, the songs demonstrate Downes’ growing confidence as a lyricist:
urgency. From the cool instrumental Purple Girl with its jazzy inflections to the gently strummed country/folk hum-along Kaleidoscope World, The Chills manage to stay clear of any possible classification. Their emotional peak is the tension-filled Pink Frost in which Phillipps relates the frustration and helplessness, of losing someone close with a painfully whispered vocal delivery. The son is for Chills drummer Martyn Bulf who died of leukaemia in July 1983. The latest from The Chills is the &song Lost EP which is easily Phillipps most personal, inwardlooking work to date: You’d think self-discovery was rather easy I mean I’m Standing right here But the real real me was never very clear Bee bah bee bah bee boe . . .

The Warrior hockey team has taken over top spot in the OUAA. Goalie Mike Bishop gamed two shutouts over the weekend with 2-O victory over Brock and a 3-O downing of Windsor. Two minutes into the first period against Brock, Dennis Wigle let go a sniper shot from inside the blue line that set the score for the remainder of the game, barring an open net goal by Steve Linseman with four seconds to go in the game. Both games were characterized by the fine play of Bishop who

Take nothing for granted in the OUAA West this season. After handily disposing of the Western Mustangs 71-60 at the PAC last Saturday, the sporadic Waterloo Warriors were trounced Weclnesday night 72-61 in Guelph by the surging Gryphons. The loss dropped the Warriors to 4-4 along with Guelph, which won its fourth strai t. Tf? e Warriors were very deserving of their victory over Western. Playing hardworking ball they were able to take control of this tight, scrappy game, outscoring the Mustangs 35-19 in the final 16 minutes. Much of the credit once again goes to offensive stalwarts Rob Froese and Paul Boyce, who accounted for 50 Waterloo points. Boyce with 26 and Froese with 24 were virtually unstoppable from the floor.

Athenas down Western despite fan censorship j by Glenn Hauer Imprint staff The Waterloo basketball Athenas are back on the right track after handily defeating the University of Western Ontario Mustangs 53-39 last Saturday at the PAC. The win put the Athenas into fourth place in the OWIAA West at 4-4, right behind the 5-2 Brock University Badgers. A very interesting playoff race is shaping up. McMaster leads the division at 6-l. Laurier is second with a 6-3 record, with Brock and Waterloo close behind. The Athenas are in great shape from the standpoint of their remaining schedule. Two games against last-place Windsor and one against Guelph should produce wins for Waterloo, placing them right into the thick of things. Waterloo -also plays a must-win game against Brock on February 14. In terms of playoff position, some key games coming up between Brock-WLU, Mac-WLU, and Brock-Mac will prove to be the important factors in determining the top 4 playoff spots. However, a rejuvenated Athena basketball team should not let any other teams determine their playoff position, as they are motivated by revenge against Brock and by confidence against Windsor and Guelph, There wasn’t any doubt about who was going to win the game last Saturday. A stifling Waterloo defense kept Western off balance for the entire game. To give an indication of what Western was up against, Waterloo held the Mustangs to only 13 shots in the second half. Incredible. In addition, Western shot 65 per cent from the floor in the first half, but were still trailing 33-24 at the intermission. If Waterloo continues to play in this manner, they shouldn’t have any problems attaining an 8-4 record this year. OWIAA All-Star candidate Cindy Poag once again led the Athenas, scoring 10 points, clearing 10 rebounds, and dishing out 6 assists. Corinna Lueg led in scoring with 12 points and played _ an excellent defensive game. Rookie point guard Karen
McCulla chipped in 10 points, and Jane Willett contributed some valuable minutes off the bench, shooting 3 for 3 for 6 points. A balanced scoring attack by the Athena is just what they need, as opposing teams will need to guard everyone on the floor. If every player threatens to score, teams such as Mac, Brock, and WLU will be hard pressed to defend against the quicker Athena squad. Last week’s article pointed out the lack of fan support for Waterloo’s At hena Basket ball t earn, and in fact this holds true for all women’s varsity sports. Well, it seems as if our own Department of Athletics is not helping matters too much either. First, let’s talk about publicity. Doubleheaders featuring both the Athena and Warrior basketball teams should be advertised on the same poster. If that small school down the street can do this, why isn’t our university doing the same? Second, let’s talk about the Western game. Something absolutely absurd happened in the second half of the Athena game. Security was forcing people (not the same_Security renowned for parking violations) to line up and wait outside the gym until the Athena game was over. Season ticket holders had to wait as well. One person was quite displeased to put it in mild terms, as he left the Athena game to go to washroom and then could not get back in. As everyone knows, one must pay or show a season ticket to get into Warrior games. Apparently, the people already in the gym probably didn’t have their season tickets on them and obviously it would take too much time to check if they did by merely walking around and asking them. In the words of Howard Cosell, “It was preposterous! Never in the annals of sport on this planet has this disgusting activity ever occurred! It should have been stopped!” What is going on in athletics? Why couldn’t they let people in to watch the Athenas? As far as I know, this has never happened before, but it should never have occurred in the first place.

by John Denny Last weekend the track team attended the Can-Am Track Classic held in Windsor, at the University of Windsor track and field complex. Universities from Ontario, as well as universities and colleges from the States were in attendance. The Warrior power-house, Harvey Mitro, once again performed valiantly in the lOOOmetre event. Mitro smashed the meet record, crumpled the Waterloo record and set a personal best in a time of 2:25.37 minutes. In the 60-metre event, John Denny placed fifth overall with a time of 7.14. John Clayton came third in his heat and Brett Kelly
placed fifth in his heat, both were nursing injuries. Derek King and Steve Scott, ran times of 1:26.42 and 1:28.X respectively in the 600-metre event. For the Athenas, Kelly Boulding had a great day; she placed fifth in both the 600 and lOOOmetre events with clockings of 1:39.9 and 2:57.26, respectively. Ulrike Zugelder, with steely determination, made a time of 3:03.58 in the lOOO-metre event, and placed first among the Canadian universities, sixth overall in the 1500 metres with a time of 4:43.2. Jill Francis clocked in at 4:54.2 in the 1500 metres and 10:29.6 in the grueling 3OOOmetre event to finish in eighth place. Deanne Cheer ran well,

clocking in at 1:49.5 in the 600metre event - great strides for this rookie. Back on the Warrior scene, Tom Sawyer, Shamir Jamal and Kevin Shoom, ran very well in the 15OO-metre event with times of 4:03.8, 4:Og.O and 4:17.5, respectively. To wrap things up for the Warriors expert navigator Nick Cipp ran an awesome race in the dreaded 5606-metre event in a swift time of 15:19, to finish in fourth place. Kevin Shields was seventh, with a time of 15:19 and Mike Affleck cruised in at 16:21. It was a great weekend for the Warrior-Athena team and great expectations are in the air for the upcoming Hamilton Spectator Games in a weeks time.
V-ball Warriors win 3 straight in weekend action The ninth-ranked Waterloo Warriors volleyball team had an extremely successful weekend, posting victories over Guelph, Toronto and Western. First, they played Guelph in league action on Friday night. They registered a hard fought 31 victory to raise their record to 8-1, virtually assuring them of first place in their division. On Sunday, the team travelled to York for the annual East-West challenge match featuring York, Toronto and Western. To start the tournament, the Warriors played the tough fifth-ranked Toronto squad, who have beaten Waterloo five times this year. This time, the Warriors were triumphant, winning 3-1. Controlling the match in the middle with Steve Heel and Ron Clarke com-
ing up with nothing short of phenomenal performances, the Warriors won 15-10, 9-15, 15-12 and 15-6. In the tournament final, Waterloo played arch rival Western, who had defeated York. Revenge was part of the motive this time, after the Mustangs had laid a significant beating on the Warriors two weeks ago in league play. On Sunday the Warriors were just too consistent for the strong but error prone Musitangs. The Warriors posted a very satisfying victory, winning by scores of 15-13,16-14 and 1511. With the playoffs just around the corner, it looks as if the defending OUAA champions are starting to peak at the right time. The Warriors will host their first playoff game against Guelph on February 14 in the PAC.

Warrior by ‘Graeme Peppler Imprint staff The University of Waterloo men’s varsity swim team scored a decisive victory over Guelph last Friday, avenging their disappointing loss to the same team in a similar dual meet a year ago. Accumulating 66 points to the Gryphon’s 42, the Warrior swimmers won eight of 11 events, with individual Waterloo victories being distributed among five different swimmers. Three events were won by Dave Cash who fought off a last minute charge by John Nicholson of Guelph to win the 800metre free in a time of 8:16.4. He also added impressive victories in the 206-metre individual medley and the 4OO-metre free to his tally. Others to score victories included Langis Roy who took top honours in the 266-metre free with a time of 1:54.8, proving he has lost none of his speed despite a term away from training. Roy also added a second-place to his credit in the 296-metre fly. Streaking to victory in convincing style was Dave Adams in the 56-metre free with a time of :22.3. He also posted a time of :49.7 in the 296-metre event of the same stroke, yet fell short of winning by 0.10 seconds, Other victories went to Jeff Slater who took 2:10.3 to win the
Allison Loucas and Kate Moore had two first places apiece, Loucas earning wins in the 100 and 200 m,etres free in times of :57.5 and 2:07.1 respectively, and Moore taking honours in the 266-metre backstroke and individual medley in times of 2:19.7 and 2:21.O respectively. Cathy Aube was second best on no fewer than three occasions, in the 800 and 400 free and the 200 fly, while Joanne Aldridge, Sue Masson, and Nancy Crump each managed second place finishes in their respective events. Going into the final event of the meet, the 496-metre free relay, the Athenas had a twopoint lead over Guelph. However, Waterloo’s women had to give best to the Gryphons who scored seven points for their relay victory to Waterloo’s second place and non-scoring position. , Despite the Athenas 57 points to 52 points loss to the GryphJns, coach Dave Heinbuch was pleased with the outcomes of both the men’s and wo’men’s teams. “I saw some very good swimming at this meet,” declared Heinbuch after the final outcome. “I’m really very impressed with the amount of effort our swimmers are putting into their
2OO-metre fly and Greg Pye who beat team-mate Steve Head on his way to recording a time of 2:21.7 for the 200-metre breast stroke. Slater also scored a second place in the 26O-metre individual medley while Pye swam a strong . 800 free to finish in third position, four seconds from winner Dave Cash. Others to earn points for the Warriors from the 5-3-l point distribution system for first place through to third were Dave March in the 260 free, Jeff Budau in the 2OO-metre backstroke, and Steve Head in the 296 breast stroke. Spirited efforts were also put forth in individual events and relays by Ross McIntosh, Mike Cash, Joe Milla, Eric Fergin, Bill Elgie, Graham Leitch, Bruce Damaren, John Kik, Dave Lawson, Dan Stratton, Andrew Armstrong,Graham Stringer, Dan Maddock, and Jon Budau. Meanwhile, the Waterloo Athena swimmers also took to the pool to compete against a very tough Gryphon femalt squad. Having obtained four victories out of 11 events, the women matched the Guelph team to the very end of the meet yet lost the final relay by a close margin allowing the visitors to usurp overall victory by five points.

Once again, avid tennis players participated in another Sunday tennis tournament - this time the teams were co-ed:The games began in the earlv morn, with bright-eyed and “bushytailed (well, maybe not quite that wide awake!) players. The calibre of play was varied, which made the tournament interesting. Those teams, who were lacking in the “fine” tennis techniques, made up for their differences with an excellent sense of humor and foreplay. During the preliminaries each team played a set of round robin games, which placed them in an A or B league. Playoffs began in the early afternoon with the finals scheduled a few hours later. The playoffs brought out the best in all the participants. In the B League, Bouman and Cautello defeated Casbourne and Hughes in a well-played match. Both teams played competitively and gave it their ALL in the matches. Dixon and de Alwis battled against Riva and Lynch for the A championship. The final result of their well-fought games was a 3-2 win for Dixon and de Alwis.

Having been home for four weeks now, the Rugby Warriors UK touring side has finally regained its health. While on a tour of the United Kingdom that included Queen’s University of Wfast, the Edinburgh Wanderers, the Luctonians Club of Herefordshire, and the Oxford Old Boys Club of Oxford, much of the team contracted what appeared to be a simple flu virus. However, upon therr return to Canada, it was discovered that two members of the touring side (one a student, the other an alumnus) actually had meningococcal meningitis. The two spent more than a week in hospital in the K-W intensive care unit before being deemed healthy enough to be discharged. Both are now healthy and made appearances at last week’s team banquet. Aside from the obvious health problems, the tour was an un ualified success. Beginning in Be 9 ast, amid an extremely visible military presence, the Warriors learned what Irish hospitality is all about. Havin been shown a good time in Be If ast, the two teams (41 touring layes in all) prepared for a tou$: game. Unfortunately, the jet-lagged Warriors were soundly beaten by Queen’s University by scores of 37-O for the first team, and 38-6 in the second. This was definitely a learning experience. The next game against the Edinburgh Wanderers was definitely a different story. Having played together for almosta week, the Warnor~ began to show what they were really made of, defeating the Wanderer first team Z-19, and coming close in the second game, losing 14-8.

Now this is not to say that he’s an overnight success or a one-year wonder. It’s just that when you play in the mighty shadow of stars such as Peter Savich and Randy Norris, your talents can tend to go unnoticed. Each of his first four years has marked a steady incline to his present level of success. In 1982 83 Boyce was chosen the Warriors’ rookie of the year, and by his second year was averaging 9.3 points a game and 5.3 rebounds. The) trend continued in 1984-85 when he was an OUAA West second team all-star, notching 16.9 points per game and 9 .boards. Last season he climbed to OUAA first team allstar and CIAU Honourable Mention status, was the Hagey-Siegfried winner as the Warriors’ MVP, as he averaged 17 points a game and 8.8 rebounds. Then along came the autumn of 1986, and Savich and Norris had hung up the black and gold for the last time. Suddenly, Boyce was cast into a role with immense responsibilities. Not only would he have to pour in more points, but he’d have to crash the boards even more. “Now that Peter and Randy are gone, Robbie (Froese) and I have to score more,” @Id Boyce recently. “I also have to control the boards. We’ve got a limited number of people with experience, so I have to make sure that I don’t foul out.!’ Not only has Boyce fulfilled the new expectations the club has placed on him, but he’s done it in a fashion worthy of AllCanadian status. After seven league games, Boyce is averag-
ing 22.4 points per match, and is among the top three league leaders in rebounds. Essentially, Boyce has emerged as the Warriors’ most dangerous player, the guy they can rely on for a big game every time he steps on the floor. But Boyce doesn’t feel burdened by his new role - he even admits he’s enjoying himself, “It’s more fun now. The team is looking for more scoring, so I get the green light to shoot more than in the past.” What’s always amazed me aboutv833 is that for a big player (6’6”), he has amazing versatility. He uses his size to rip down the rebounds with conviction on defense, and muscle inside for the tough buckets under the offensive glass. But unlike other big men in the league, his game is note limited to hacking it out down low. If things get bottled up underneath, Boyce can always hit his patented onehanded jumper from anywhere around the perimeter. Even when he’s behind the backboard, he somehow curls his hand around to hit what would be an impossible shot for most playe?s. When asked to reflect on the fondest memory of his career with the Warriors, Boyce replied, “the most exciting one was our victory over Brandon four years ago to go into- the championships. The PAC was filled, and Savich hit a jumper at the buzzer to win it. It was amazing,” He also noted that going to the nationals every year, especially last year’s close loss to Victoria, a game Boyce said “we could have won”, was another highlight of his illustrious career. When Boyce hangs up-633 for the last time at the end of this season, it will mark the end of a truly great career. Let’s hope justice is done, and he is chosen an All-Canadian
