U of T students stage sit-in, .demand share divestment by Teni Shewfelt Imprint staff with CUP

A 27 hour sit in, a mlly and a near riot in the chambers of the University of Toronto's governing council did not convince counci~members to put a divestment motion on the agenda of a March 5 meeting. U of T b s more than $4 million invested in American and Canadian _ companies with South African ties, and U of T s Anti-ApertheidNetwork decided action had to be taken to achieve d i i n t The sit in occurred in U of president George Conners office about noon March 4, and continued until

' *

about 3 p.m. on March 5 when protestors moved outside and joined 300 others in a pro-divestment rally. The leader of the Anti-Apartheid Network, Akwatu Khenti, told the demonstrators at the rally, he had been permitted to address the governor's council meeting, at which point 150 demonstrators followed Khenti into the council meeting. Khenti addressed the council say ing that "U of T p d i on divestment has racist and paternalistic connotations". Alter KhentTs address, Claire Johnson, part-timestudentrepresentathe on the council, put forth a mo. tion to add divestment to the meeting's agenda. The council voted 1 6 1 3 to defeat Johnson's motion, at which point the

crowd exploded into chants of "racist scum", and "freedom yes, apartheid no." Protestors next dispersed through the meeting room, climbing on the tables, pointing and yelling at council members who voted against the motion. The meeting was finallyadjourned as campus police escorted council members out of the building, while the protest continued inside. One council representah was heard b remark, as he left the rneeting, "That was more interesting than the last time we met" At at Waterloo, apartheid appears to be a dead issue, as a proposed Federation of Studentstask Force on South Africa has failed to get off the ground.

Chemistry prof gets $335,000 grant

Pill vote fails

Dr. Terence E. Gough, University of Waterloo chemistry professor, has been awarded a $335,000 grant by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), for a research project to be carried out in cooperation with a Canadian high tech company, Bomem Inc., Vanier, Que. The award is made as a cooperative research and development grant under NSERC’s University-Industry Program. It will run over a two-year period. The title of the research project is “Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy of Supersonic Jets.” Bomem is a world leader in the design of fourier transform infrared

by Nancy McLean Imprint staff WLU says “No” to the Pill. Students at Wilfrid Laurier University last week voted against the addition of a birth control pill option to their existing health plan. Unlike the UW health plan which . L.- -- -I -I, ,_‘--I- ,,A covers prescnpuons or all runas Asia is run by administration, the WLU plan, which is set up by the students, does not cover birth control prescriptions. A proposed $16 fee increase was turned down by the WI4 Student Union in a recent referendum. Although 52 per cent voted to pass the pill referendum, the referendum did not go through because a two-thirds majority was not achieved. Due to varying interpretations of existing bylaws, controversy over the majority of student voters needed to pass a referendum has arose. One existing bylaw, entitled “Dues” states that ,if a change need be made to existing dues levied in exchange for specific services (such as health), a level of confirmation would require two-thirds support by the board of directors. Another bylaw, entitled “Voting of Members”, states, however, that ‘ at all meetings every question shall be decided by a majority of voters (50 per cent plus one) . . . of the members present in person or represented by proxy.” Controversy also erupted because an information table was “coincidentally” (according to Fellowship president Tom Wills) set up, by Laurier Christian Fellowship, near the refer. endum polling booths. Some students have complained that the Christian group affected voting with their presence. At UW, a set fee for Health Services is lumped with tuition fees and prescriptions cost $3.50 (except for the pill which is distributed at no cost to the student).

Ethics a low priority for 50% of UW profs suspended if it is perceived to have harmful applications. The availability of funding is often a major concern to workers when considering research options. Non. military funding in Canada is pro. vided largely by NSERC, a system Roulston considers superior to those found in Western and European countries. Unfortunately, the amount of money dispensed through NSERC, as a ratio of gross national product, is among the lowest in the Western world. This forces many researchers to consider other financial sources in order to pursue their inter. ests. Roulston warned that while department of defence funding is often up front, on occasion it is camouflaged through subcontractors working on behalf of military interests, both Canadian and and American. Official military funding in Canada is routed through the department of supplies and setices. Roulston claimed that to the best of his knowledge, no secret defence department research is currently being done at UW. Roulston appealed to the University of Waterloo to take the lead in discouraging military research, say. ing that we should raise our ethical standards to accompany our elevated academic standards.”

by Alan Vanderhoek imprint staff A majority of UW professors and researchers are apathetic about the potential military uses of their work’ says Dr. David Roulston, secretary of the Waterloo chapter of Science for Peace. Results of an informal poll conducted by Roulston revealed that about 50 per cent of faculty were indifferent to the possibility of their research being used in military programs such as SDI. Thirty per cent of those polled were opposed to such use, while 20 per cent were in favor. A similar poll conducted at the University of Toronto by Nobel Laureate John Polyani generated much the same response. Speaking to a Science for Peace gathering of about 50 persons, Roulston stressed the need for university researchers to make ethical decisions about potential end-uses of the information and technology they produce. Most of the material generated by academic research is available to the general public, and as such can be utilized in the production of anything from consumer goods to military hardware. Roulston said that “ scientists are responsible for their work”’ and that research should be I

Active U of T, * .apathetic U.W. by Terri Shewfelt Imprint staff The University Toronto’was rocked last week by a radical protest reminiscent of the sixties. The students concerned over their universities investments in South Africa stages rallies and a sit in, in order to draw attention to their concern. Attention certainly was focused on this issue as papers like the Toronto Star, and Globe picked up the story along with a picture of the protestors stomping on the tables of U of T’s council chambers. Students, at U of T are standing up for what they believe in. But where does that leave Waterloo? - Apathetic as usual. Waterloo can not even get a committee on South Africa off the ground. Students are too busy navel gazing, looking only at issues that personally effect them, such as computer fees. Mulroney’s visit was also a good example of the conservative, apathetic attitude at Waterloo. A group of students concerned about the cruise missile, and nuclear war, made their opinions known during Mulroney’s speech. Other students in the audience quickly told the cruisers to shut up, and they started their own chant of “Nuke the Whales.” Even the PM thought it was funny, and joined in on the joke about nuking the whales. Students are the last people who should be joking about things like nuclear war. As the old cliche goes, students are the future, and if they don’t start showing their concern over important international issues,like nuclear war and South Africa then there will not be a future. Waterloo should stop lapping up mindlessly high tech rhetoric that people like Doug Wright and Brian Mulroney spit out and look to have a say in the many important issues in the real world.

Province should act quickly on new no-fault insurance proposal by insurance industry

We hope it won’t happen again!

by Steve Kannon Imprint staff After lambasting the New Democrats in my last comment page outing, I find it necessary to congratulate them this week. The NDP has been instrumental in forcing the recent announcement by the Insurance Bureau of Canada of a no-fault auto insurance plan for Ontario. Such a plan could see insurance rates drop by 15 per cent. Public control of auto insurance has been an NDP battle cry in recent months due to the astronomical hike in rates. This outcry, coupled with the hostile attitude most drivers have toward insurance companies, has prompted the IBC to take action before the government made changes of its own. The proposed changes would never have seen the light of day without this pressure. No-fault insurance would reduce the massive payments insurance companies make to cover the liability portions of auto policies. It is these claims, which include personal injury and loss-of-companionship lawsuits, which cost insurers the most money. As the average court award for such claims has increased, so too have the premiums. Under the proposed no-fault scheme, insurance companies would pay benefits to insured people regardless of who was at fault in an accident. The benefits would cover non-economic losses such as pain and suffering and loss of care and companionship. Lawsuits would be permitted to settle the cost of property damage, such as the value of cars damages in accidents, as well as for lost wages and expenses. The government would be wise to begin talking with insurance companies about this proposal. Insurance premiums have been getting out of

. by Doug Thompson Imprint staff A letter published last week, with the signature Jon Wheat, was not written by Mr. Wheat. We deeply regret the embarrassment and inconvenience to Mr. Wheat. The letter was sent by e-mail to Imprint’s computer account from Mr. Wheat’s computer account. Normally this would guarantee the authenticity of a letter. However, Mr. Wheat’s password had been discovered by someone else who took the opportunity to pull a very childish stunt. In conversation with the Math Faculty Computing Facility (MFCF) we learned that there is little that can be done at that end to tighten up security. It is incumbent on the account-holder to secure the secrecy of passwords. The best way to do that is to change it frequently. A second problem area concerns dormant accounts. If you have had a computer account, and no longer need or want it, make sure it is removed from the system. Otherwise it sits as an invitation for abuse. It is regrettable that there are those who wish to embarrass others by writing letters from a stolen account or under false names. However, because of this incident, and a second attempted (though unsuccessful) e-mail forgery, Imprint has decided it is necessary to require a phone number and student ID from all who send us letters for publication. The added red-tape and inconvenience for letter writers, and the extra work and hassle for Imprint staff is very unfortunate. I’d like to think the person who pulled this stunt will think twice before attempting it again. And 1 want him or her to think not, “can 1 beat this security system‘ ?” - because cleverness probably can beat the security system. Rather, I’d like him or her to think of all the inconvenience and hassle others will have to go though because of this “cleverness” and perhaps ponder if there might be some line of activity where that cleverness could be be put to more worthwhile use.

hand, especially I& young drivers, and the government could gain a pile of brownie points by acting quickly. Most of the blame for the problem lies with the court government, anyway. Outrageous. settlements are the result of addle-minded judges interpreting ridiculous laws (the Family Law Reform Act, which allows every relative ever spawned to sue for damages, is a prime example). When millions of dollars are awarded for individual claims, it doesn’t take long for the insurance industry to suffer an underwriting loss. Once these losses get too big, the excess is passed on to the consumer in the form of rate boosts. While this is not entirely fair, it is somewhat understandable if you take a close look at all the factors involved. For instance, if you pay premiums of even $2,000 or $3,000 a year, that amount is quickly eaten up if you have an accident involving injuries to other parties. If the insurer is forced to dish out $500,000 or $1 million for your accident, there’s no way your premiums are ever going to cover that cost. As long as the industry has to pay out such large claims, rates are going to climb. The new no-fault proposal, which is similar to the plan already existing in Quebec, is admittedly a peacemaking offer by the IBC. Public pressure’ has got the industry worried, which is good, and the result should be fairer rates and coverage. It’s now up to the government to do its part to see that the initiative taken by the IBC is turned into a reality. Under no circumstances should the government consider forming a public insurance company as a means of dealing with the problem. Like all other government-operated businesses, such a public company would be doomed to a life of inefficiency and waste, all at the taxpayers’ expense.

Truth is always the victim in political point scoring ;

To the editor, In the Comment section‘(lmprint, Feb. 27) Steve Kannon gave his opinion of the Ontario NDP party and by implication his political persuasion. Now, I have no intention of refuting your politics Steve. I just want you to realize politics isn’t as black and white as you seem to portray it as. First, Elie Martel’s comment was

made during Question Period. Few people really know the purpose and mechanics behind Question Period. I have had the opportunity to sit in during Question Period quite often in the last year. Though this does not make me an authority on the matter, I think I have gained many insights. (Question Period is the chance where opposition parties try to embarrass the government. Facts be-

P.M.‘s speech was bland and tasteless research and the amelioration of our country, why the heavy ($20-million) program cuts to the National Research ’ Council last fall, most drastically to programs of environmental research? And how about the severely debilitating cuts to the Canadian Wildlife Service?” It is not difficult to see where this party’s priorities lie and which areas are being supported by mere lip service. Only very briefly mentioned during the speech were the issues of acid rain and toxic wastes which sounded as though they’d only been thrown in to give the impression that this party is environmentally concerned. Strongly advocated by the PM, in general, is market-related (industry-directed) research and, if one reads between the lines, research to be used for military purposes. Mulroney did not come to talk about any such implications; speaking with transparent exaggerations and euphemistic generalizations, the PM sounded as though he was giving an election speech. To end his calculated, well-orchestrated visit, Mulroney’s monologue was like Wonder bread - bland, tasteless and insubstantial.

To the editor, PM Mulroney’s visit was as one might have expected. Of surprise, however, were his flippant and supposedly humorous remarks about nuking the whales, the Grits and the N.D.P. Coming from the leader of our nation, these were in poor taste and unacceptable. The focus was on winning support at a time when public opinion of him and his party has been faltering. (Last month’s national opinion poll placed the scandal-ridden PC’s in third place, 10 points behind the second-place New Democratic Party.) The vehicle was the computer research centre as proof of his party’s unyielding support of research in Canada. The method was to package a glossy speech in a presentation that would avoid compromising questions. There was only time for the preening of feathers and flexing of muscles. In short, there was absolutely no opportunity to pose questions. Much was said- about research; much more was left unanswered. Given the chance, I would have asked, “Prime Minister Mulroney, if your government is so dedicated to

Men are also the targets of sexual discrimination To the editor, In response to the letter “Please put your penis aside while 1 explain this insensitivity” by Jane Kalbfleish, which appeared two weeks ago in the Imprint, 1 must say that although 1 am against female sexual discrimination I do believe that men are also targets of discrimination, though in more subtle ways. Here are some privileges that most feminists seem to take for granted: -society allows women to have more freedom of expression than men. For example, women today can choose to act and dress as they wish (in traditional male clothing perhaps); guys are taught to act ‘manly’ and to wear only ‘male stuff lest they be called queer (in both senses of the word). -many entertainment houses offer reduced admission to ‘ladies’ on certain nights. How many of these clubs have been charged with sexual discrimination (against males)? -women’s ‘facilities’ are given priority. For example, here on campus esp. in the M & C building, most women’s washrooms are placed far from the public’s potential view, _i

with that inner door for extra privacy - guys also want ‘complete’ privacy. Furthermore, in the Village residences the girls are always given the top floors - isn’t it time the guys get a chance to look into the girls’ rooms and showers? In addition guys were long denied soft-quality toilet paper. -thf; campus safety-van, as explicitly stated, is solely for females. I presume that this operation is financed by students’ (male and female) fed fees. So why are guys denied a service to which they contribute? I can go on and on but I am running out of my space quota. Feminists should realize that ‘society’ favours them in several ways and should stop comparing themselves to the true victims of discrimination. 1 would suggest that whilst fighting for their rights, feminists should ensure that female privileges be removed - mabye society will then stop pampering women and treat them as adults (instead of a bunch of cry-babies).

come fluid and are used to score political points - not necessarily to put forth the absolute truth. Indeed, MPPs have the privilege to pretty well say whatever they want. I have heard “factual errors” uttered on numerous occasions by members of all three parties. The NDP are no more’ guilty (or for that matter no less guilty) in bending the truth than the PCs or the Liberals. To accuse Elie Martel of being-a bad representative because of his bending of the truth is like accusing just one of dozens of thieves for stealing. It is the nature of politics to bend the truth in making a point. I suggest Steve, that you peruse Hansard occasionally or for that matter watch Question Period on T.V. I’m pretty sure you’ll see what I mean.

Now, back to your comment piece. Elie Martel made his comment to gain some press and thus hopefully get some action in a situation where he perceives there is a problem. Whether workers have enough say regarding safety in the workplace is a political judgment call. Elie Martel, along with all other MPPs who exaggerate, does so for political purposes and also out of legitimate concern over the issue. 1 am not condoning this exaggeration or “bending of the truth”, I am simply trying to put it in perspective within the context of Question Period. Finally, 1 must comment on two ludicrous statements you made. First you stated “Anytime workers have a problem, their unions, unwilling to tackle the problem directly, blame the situation on the ministry.” This exaggeration and blanket statement is j&t-the same as what you accused Elie Martel of doing! Furthermore, the implication is that unions are useless and are only out for their own self-interest. This is as ludicrous as saying all corporations are out to screw workers. We know that isn’t true. Second, you state: “The NDP and union leaders are looking for a ministry which will support their own self-serving ideas. That we have a ministry [Ministry of Labour] which seems somewhat intent on serving all Ontarions is a concept worthy of their [the NDP’s] scorn.” Oh, come on Steve. The NDP, like the other two parties, is guilty of self-interest and of legitimate concern for the people of Ontario. All three parties play the game of politics. Truth, whatever it may be, is often the vie-. tim of this game. Franz Hartmann 3A Political Science

Done has done it again To the editor, Paul Done has demonstrated once again an inability to rise above his childish fascination with filthy adjectives. What possible motive, save self-titillation, can exist for such an exercise in vulgarity as was presented in his review of God’s Own Medicine? I fail to understand your decision to provide this “music critic” with space to voice his pompous ravings. This campus desperately needs some musical broad-mindedness; so Paul, spare us your inadequacies. Dave Broughton ’ Earth Sciences

FORVI Exegesis on homosexual crimes of Sodom challenged by readers

To the editor, We are writing in response to Chris Gerrard’s article, Sodom that appeared in the March 6 issue of Imprint. Chris, you said that the actual text in the Bible (Gen 19: l-20) does not clearly state the exact crimes of Sodom. 1 am afraid many Bible scholars, modern or old, would disagree with you. There is one crime committed by the Sodomites that is explicit in the passage: homosexual-

We agree that the word, know’, more often means to observe, recognize, and get acquainted in the Bible thanto have sexual intercourse, but “statistics are no substitute for contextual evidence (otherwise the rarer sense of a word would never seem probable), and in both these passages the demand to know’ the guests is met by an offer in which the same word know’ is used in its sexual sense (Gen 198, Jdg. 19:25).” (pg. 137, Tyndale Old Testament Com-

mentaries). Furthermore, why would Lot refuse the Sodomites’ request and why would he offer his two daughters to them, if all they wanted was to get acquainted with the two visitors? It seems strange that they would be willing to even break down Lots’ door, just to become acquainted with the strangers. Their rejection of the two virgins provides further evidence that their intention was homosexual in nature. This clearly reveals that, know’, does not, in this context, mean to observe, recognize or get acquainted but rather means sexual intercourse. In fact, the word know’ has been translated as “to have relations with” or “to have intercourse with” in the NASB and NEB English versions of the Bible. Chris, you mentioned some modern Biblical scholar’s views as to Sodom’s sin. However, there are many that you’ve missed; Kaiser, in Toward Old Testament Ethics, comments, “Current exegetical fashion would like to avoid identifying the crime committed by the citizens of

Sodom unconvincing, To the editor, Re: Chris Gerrard’s A Different Light Throughout my life, 1 have been exposed to many religious beliefs and ideas. I have: -been asked for money by Hare Krishnas in Miami Airport; -been told that Masons are Satan-worshipers; -heard a girl preaching on a street corner in New Orleans, that herbs are the Answer; -been told that rock music is evil and meant to destroy society; and I could go on. All these people (except for the Hare Krishna) used to Bible to support their theories. Most of their ideas were better organized and credible than the ones you have presented in your column. Should I believe them all? Should I change my mind every time 1 hear a new idea? Or should, 1 examine it? My own faith allows me to examine reasonable theories, and 1 have given you your chance. However, you don’t want to study the ,Bible and search for the Truth; you have already made up your mind. You only want to justify your existence, not understand God and His ways. 1 don’t wish to oppress you, for you have your rights in this society. However, you have failed to convince me that homosexuality is something that “the Lord won’t mind.” That piece . on Sodom was the only decent argument you have shown, and yet it proves nothing. It doesn’t ‘justify’ your lifestyle. Now, I’m not condemning you or

anything; I’m saying that you’ll need a better argument next time. Don’t simply shove it down my throat, and expect me to believe every word that “Sir John Chrysalis*’ utters. The book of Leviticus is a strange book. If you were to read the whole thing, you would discover that it gave the ancient Jews rules that were practical in terms of: religious cesocial responsibility, remony, health, and more. It is not only against homosexuality, but also incest, sex with animals, sex during “that time of month”, and others. One can see the various reasons why these laws were made. The Ten Commandments are also part of the Law. If, as you say, the Law is not longer applicable in our enlightened society, then these laws need no longer apply. God condones murder, incest, anything. Who has the right to decide what is morally right and wrong? The government? Today’s Church? If so, which one? If 1 wanted to sleep with a dog, why not? The Book of Leviticus is not longer valid‘, along with ‘thou shalt not commit adultery’. And it doesn’t say 1 shouldn’t do it, anywhere else in the Bible. So what could ‘be wrong? The Lord won’t mind. Really though, we are living in the, Dark Ages. Everyone’s nuts, including me. By the way,‘1 don’t really like dogs that much. T. Locker

Smoking controversy To the editor, Many mini-controversies are debated in the letters to the editor section and it is entertaining to read them and sometimes even informative. 1 enjoy reading both sides of a topic of discussion, except when the arguments become unreasonable or flawed. Of late, one particular area of conflict has caught my attention since it pertains to me. Qn the subject of smoking cigarettes and all that is involved in this argument, I, and probably most other smokers, readily acknowledge that we are indulging in a self-destructive habit. But that is entirely our decision as far as our own health is concerned. As for nonsmokers who ask me to refrain from smoking in a closed space because smoke irritates their eyes, nose etc., 1 readily grant them their request out of courtesy, as would many other smokers. My objectionsarise when their ar; gument is that they are sucking all our carcinogenic smoke into their lungs and getting cancer. the percen-

tage of smoke that they inhale after I’ve exhaled it and taken much of the toxicity into myself before exhaling, seems a bit of ajoke. They are probably reacting to the-difference in air quality that they smell and the nose is very sensitive to even the minutest presence of aromatic stimuli. This is probably not representative of the amount of smoke that they are actually inhaling. My other beef is with the rantings and ravings of non-smokers about cigarette advertising. The majority of smokers started in their youth or adolescent days because of peer pressure, not because of lifestyle or any other type of advertising. These ads are aimed at smokers to make , them change brands, not to start non-smokers smoking. Any nonsmoking student on campus who saw the ad in the Feb. 27 issue of Imprint would not be swayed to smoking because of it. Give them some credit. Sandy Kay Science

Sodom as homosexuality (Gen 19); many would prefer to call it a lack of hospitality or even rape.” (pg.196). To use the five references you made (Lev. 1822; 20: 13; Rom. 1:2627;I Cor. 6:9; 1 Tim. 1: IO), it is clear that God does not only condemn homosexual rape’, He condemns homosexuality regardless of whether it is rape’ or love’. We also agree that these references outlaw same-sex vices even though we failed to see why Sodom has to be mentioned whenever homosexuality is spoken -of. Chris, we have no intention to be rude or unkind, we just want to explain what the Bible actually says and not what we think or like it to say: homosexuality is sin in God’s eyes.

Birth . Control? To the editor, I’m not sure how we settled on the subject of sex and birth control; it seemed the only one everyone had an opinion on. I thought my friends would have similar ideas, but even Paul and Brian disagreed. “Of course we use birth control,” claimed Brian. “Marie’s been on the pill now for . . . how long?” “At least as long as we’ve been seeing each other,” came her quick reply. “But don’t you worry about sideeffects, cancer or stuff like that?” My question came out before I realized how value-laden it was. “Of course they worry,” blurted Paul, “but we all know that _left up to Brian, Marie would be pregnant by now.” Look who’s talking about responsibility; what method do you use?’ Brian’s question began a discussion that left us all with food for thought. Before the dinner was over, we had decided that the ideal birth control method would be: 100 per cent effective, easy to use, impossible to forget, easy to obtain, completely free from side effects, free, non-interruptive in love making. no one could Unfortunately, think of of any one method that fit that description. We all agreed that the choice of one method over another always involved compromise. Brian and Marie used the pill because it maximized effectiveness - neither wished to become a parent. It turned .out that Paul and Lori were using condoms and foam, a method close in effectiveness to the pill, but without the same side-effect s. Some felt that although effective, condoms and foam limited spontaneity by interrupting love making. 1 was surprised when Lori said “actually, we find that using condoms and foam contributes to the relationship by making birth control a joint responsibility”. We discovered that evening that the choice of a particular method is based on personal reasons and what is right for one couple or person may not be right for the next. Each method has pros and cons - a barrier to use in one situation may be a method advantage in another. The only way to correctly choose is get the facts. As volunteers at U W’s Birth Control Centre (CC room 206), not only do we provide information, but we help clients explore all aspects of a ‘method, including not-so-obvious barriers to use. We help ensure that your choice of a birth control method is an informed choice based on i your values, not ours, Michael Baylis BCC volunteer

Debunking: Gripe, Hype and Tripe by Robert Day Imprint staff First, the gripe. Yeah, okay, so we got stomped by the Athenas, big deal, just another case of team co-ordination triumphing over raw talent and good looks. Although getting seriously stuffed by Monica Siewertsen may take a while to live down. Next, the hype. For any of you slightly twisted individuals who actually follow this column and want to see how a real expert does it, I strongly suggest you reserve next Tuesday, 7:00 p.m. for the Arts Lecture Hall, room 113 when Mr. Henry Gordon breezes into town to entertain the masses with a professional lecture on what must be considered his area of expertise - debunking. Gordon is Canada’s leading authority on scientific explanations for psychic phenomena and has written extensively for both the Toronto Sun and Toronto Star. He is a Fellow in the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal and is the chairman of the fledgling Ontario Skeptics. If this isn’t enough, Gordon is also an accomplished magician and uses this talent to liven up his lectures with the same kind of conjuring _ and prestidigitation that so-called psychics use to bamboozle the suckers. The bottom line here is, unless you’ve already reserved next Tuesday, 1 strongly urge you to get your ass over to AL1 13 for some serious entertainment ($2 for Feds, $3 otherwise - how can you lose?). And now, depressingly, the tripe, inspired by a letter to the editor in last Thursday’s K-W Record from one John Schroeder of Waterloo. Mr. Schroeder appears to be running a one-man crusade against the well-established principles of science based on his apparent uncompromising belief in the literal authenticity of Genesis. The letter in question refers to the recent discovery of a supernova that has 0been calculated to have exploded 150,000 years ago - no big deal here. Schroeder, however, feels that the overwhelming majority of astronomers are sadly mistaken in their estimation of the date of the event, since this clearly conflicts with the JudeoChristian view- of a very young universe (on the order of a few thousand years). Apparently, Schroeder feels that all of the accumulated scientific knowledge that these astronomers base their calculations on is invalid since they are all assuming constancy in what he refers to as the “so-called speed of light” and that we cannot assume that this value is constant “throughout all spaces and at all times as it is measured today on or close to the planet earth.” If Schroeder has reason to believe any different, I’m sure that the scientific community would be just tickled to hear his reasoning - til then, they’ll just have to tough it out with 186,000 miles per second. Now, this particular myopic point of view is not original and by itself would not be worth the better part of a column, except for a couple interesting points.

The first is that Schroeder is not just another rabid fundamentalist who is trying to warp the rest of the universe to fit his view of I the universe. No indeed, Schroeder is in fact a member of faculty in the department of civil engineering here at Waterloo, which makes his total mutilation of the scientific method that much more surprising. Apparently, a total disregard for the principles of science doesn’t prevent an individual from dispensing wisdom in what I had originally assumed was a technically-oriented department, and this is a very saddening thought. The second point of interest is that this is not Schroeder’s first literary effort, having been a regular contributor to both the Record and the Imprint with articles essentially condemning scientists who have the unmitigated gall to hold any beliefs, however well-founded, that conflict with his particular religious beliefs. 1 will be the first to admit that my irritation with Prof. Schroeder stems from the fact that one of his previous letters to the Record (April 14, ‘86) was in response to a letter from this columnist trying desperately to explain that, yes indeed, we have a variety of very good reasons to believe the earth is older than 6,000 years. Schroeder’s reply was a totally convoluted piece of logic that contained the stunning conclusion that “without the religious belief in an immense age of the earth, the billions of years calculated for it are meaningless numbers.” Now, there are several adjectives to describe the various motivations for my beliefs, but “religious” is not one of them. Given Schroeder’s point of view, which has been completely untenable for at least 50 years, it would be a waste of space to mention verifiable evidence based on radiometric dating, the fossil record, magnetic reversals that have been recorded in the ocean floor, sedimentary deposits, ad nauseum; all of this will be dealt with in gory detail some day. Schroeder dismisses all of the above since, according to his latest letter, he believes in “. . . the God of the Bible who created the . universe recently (including the above supernova explosion)*’ and who obviously designed everything else to give the unmistakable impression of a four billion-year-old earth. Schroeder even alienates the very people he is trying to defend with his statement that “Christians believe . . . the present is not indicative of the past”, implying that any good Christian must necessarily accept his fundamentalist viewpoint, which causes most Christians I know to use the kind of language you might run into at the Coronet on a Saturday night. Not much support there, it seems, Prof. Schroeder. The most depressing aspect of all of this is that, in his zeal to demonstrate his appalling lack of scientific technique, Prof. Schroeder seems unaware of the embarrassment he must certainly be causing his colleagues and his students who would no doubt like the academic reputation of their department to remain somewhere above the level of Sunday-morning televangelismV

FOR-, Nuclear hazards re-examined To the editor,

1 applaud Steven Csele’s courage in speaking out with his views on nuclear energy. The pro-nuclear lobby is almost nonexistent, for no one needs to speak up in defence of a good thing until it is viciously maligned, and rationality is swamped in the media by Ralph Nader, Dr. Rosalie Bertel and WPlRG. Cynthia Folzer and Daniel Schulman, as a Ph.D and student here at Waterloo, should know better. These people, in positions of authority, give credit to the lies and half-truths they perpetun ate. Mr. Schulman made the statement (Imprint, Feb. 13) about spent fuel from nuclear reactors: “Small in size, yes, but the most concentrated poison on Earth. Care to store a few ounces of plutonium in your freezer. . .” The statement displays considerable ignorance, in light of the example that the chemical compound arsenic trioxide is 50 times more toxic than plutonium. Arsenic trioxide is a poison used in the United States as a pesticide, and more of it is shipped to the U.S. annually than the weight of all nuclear waste produced in the U.S. would be, even is all power in the U.S. was nuclear. This poison has a half-life of infinity. Nuclear waste is not sprayed on crops, either. It is feasible to bake the spent fuel into shatterproof glass blocks, to encase the glass blocks with metal, to place the canisters thousands of feet underground and to embed them in concrete there. In IO years, 99.9 per cent of the wastes will be decayed and in 1,000 years,

the wastes will be less radioactive than pitchblende. A person standing in the mine with the sealed fresh waste will be exposed to more radioactivity from the walls of the mine than from the wastes. There isn’t even any need to bury plutonium (except for legislation) because it is a useful’material to recover and reuse in power reactors. Environmentalists have pushed to block the reprocessing of waste to recover plutonium (which reduces the volume of the wastes by a factor of four) and now they proceed to scare people with the long half-life of plutonium. , Dr. Cynthia Folzer (Imprint, Feb., 20) proceeds with the half truths. She speaks of the “150 million tons of low level nuclear waste left exposed at various mine sites”, but neglects to mention the tens of millions of tons of coal ash spewed out by the coal-fired plants in the U.S. annually. This material is dumped into landfills; it contains selenium, mercury, vanadium, carcinogenic hydrocarbons such as benzopyrene and so on. These materials have half-lives of infinity. Their disposal is not subject to careful planning. How many carcinogens and mutagens are in them? Does Dr. Folzer know about this? How radioactive are the 150 million tons? She doesn’t say, but they are no more radioactive than the coal ash, which itself contains unregulated amounts of radioactive isotopes. Neither coal ash nor the “150 million tons” emit significantly, but the radioactive emissions from the stack of a coal-fired plant pose 4 10 times the danger than

Imprinf,Friday,March13,1987

emissions from a nuclear reactor. The high level wastes from nuclear reactors would amount to a cube 200 feet on-a side if all the power in the United States were nuclear and if the reactors ran fro 350 years. This is an incredibly small amount of the only significant waste ( 10,000 tons) compared to the tens of million of tons of coal ash that are dumped annually in ’ the U.S. Has Dr. Folzer compared the dangers from coal power with those from nuclear power?

Mr. Schulman disagrees with Mr. Csele that “Science has proven that nuclear power can bring more good than harm” and brings up the half truth that good and harm are not subject to objective definition. 1 propose the arbitrary definition of what good is: what saves lives. By this definition, Mr. Csele is indeed correct, and 1 challenge Mr. Schulman to come up with a definition of “good” which can be used to show that nuclear power causes more harm. As Dr. Petr Beckmann has pointed out in his book The Health Hazards of Not Going Nuclear, any form of large-scale energy conversion, coal, oil, nuclear an even solar power, saves far more lives than it destroys. Just compare the health statistics of a developed country with a Third World country, or with the former in the past.

Smoking and personal freedom To the editor, I We would like to applaud Alan Vanderhoek’s article “To Smoke or Not to Smoke.” Basically we are in ggreement with his comments, especially that there should be designated smoking areas on campus. Aside from this, we feel the real issue - personal freedom - is being jeopardized by this non-smoking policy. We have spent hours discussing the university’s “smoking policy.” Our conclusions: smokers are not going to stop smoking. What will happen to smokers caught smoking in a non-smoking area? Is a member of the security department going to appear, handcuff the person and haul him/ her off to jail? Are staff going to be fired from their jobs and students expelled from university? Are smokers going to be beaten, maimed or murdered because they do not comply with requests to not smoke? This non-smoking policy is just that - a policy. It is not a law! Whether non-

smokers like it or not, people will continue to smoke. This policy leaves non-smokers as enforcers, thereby creating more anim.osity between the two groups than already ‘exists. Smokers will refuse to succumb to the pressures placed on them by non-smokers. Harassment, lectures, propaganda posters, and name-calling will not deter people dfrom smoking. Wake up! A precedent is being set by this policy; it will not stop here. Your freedoms will be next. Do you own a car? Sixty per cent of air pollution is attributed to automobiles, Therefore we suggest a “car-free” university environment. This will enable all of us who are against this kind of pollution to breathe easier. Are you a drinker? We suggest an “alcohol-free” environment at U W. We don’t like drinking, therefore no one should. After all, don’t drinkers create their own demise, kill innocent victims on the highway (the sta-

tistics: six per day in Canada), cause bodily harm to others, and create an enormous loss of time and money due to alcohol-related job absenteeism? All of these things concerning drinking have been publicized by the media and substantiated by experts: In fact, drinking has received as much publicity as smoking. If you discriminate against one group, why not against all groups that have the potential of inflicting harm on others? The number of policies to quash the personal freedoms of others in this university community are potentially limitless. Therefore, we feel that the “smoking policy “ is unworkable; it will not only fail to eliminate smokers, it will cause a great deal of conflict between people who in the past have been more tolerant of each other’s vices.

The Vegetarian WorldA 0

v1t

by Kathy Marsman Many people have the attitude that they are merely a small drop in the large bucket of society. They feel their actions are incapable of affecting society at all. When they are given the opportunity to vote, they resign themselves to the trends from elections past winners and losers for the most part are separated by much more than a one vote margin - thus election results will not be influenced by their single ballot. Political issues are often left to the radicals or the activists simply because Joe Average feels no pressure to speak out on injustices that don’t affect him. No one can deny the threat that apartheid poses to human dignity, yet so few North Americans take an active stand. Most people do not exercise the “power of the pen” by writing to members of Parli,ament, or by writing editorial letters to newspapers. These methods are viewed as futile efforts to “save the world”. Environmental industrial pollution is a highly underrated injustice being inflicted on us all as well as being supported by us all when we purchase products of the industry at fault. Boycotts don’t go over well as most people realize the company will still thrive whether or not one customer is lost. The situation that exists in the world would warrant a life of protests, sacrifices and hardships, if one were to jump on every “band wagon” they viewed as a worthy cause. To devote all of the necessary energies to fighting for justice would leave negative energy for a person to lead a normal live.

Injustice

In light of this, a common solution is to exist in a society full of injustices while turning a blind eye. If we don’t act against any injustice, at least we are being consistent. If we can’t do everything, doing nothing will not fall prey to any criticism other than accusations of living in lethargy. Those who speak out against trapping for furs are criticized for wearing leather - as it is simply an inferior type of animal skin. Those who complain about the effects of second hand smoke are quickly informed of their own automobile’s contribution to pollution levels. And alas the poor vegetarian falls prey to much criticism: “there are -so many worse things you could eat”, “how can you wear leather when it supports the ‘livestock industry?“, “why aren’t you an animal rights activist too?’ are but a few of the popular comments. I can not profess to be active in every cause 1 feel is worthy, and so I have a few causes - vegetarianism being one of them - that I feel are worth the time and effort I expend on them. Not that other causes aren’t equally worthy . . . I am not obligated to justify my inactivity in other issues because I have chosen a few to be active in. Of course this problem could be easily solved by not being active in any issues at all. My intentions are not to condemn any degree of lethargy, but simply to encourage any individual contribute to any cause in any way without being discouraged by the self-appointed critics in society who view consistency in inactivity better than small scale contributions that may or may not make a difference in the long run.

W.P.I.R.G. Canadian defence policy discussed by Cynthia

Folzer

A timely forum on February 27 heard from four experts on Canadian military policy. This forum was chaired by U W professor David Roulston. a Science for Peace board member and featured speakers from various scientific backgrounds and their views on peace. Included in the forum were Ernie Regehr, Gunnar Boehnert, John Hepburn and Brig. Gen. Don MacNamara. Ernie Regehr, resear-ch co-ordinator of Project Ploughshares, clarified some popular misconceptions regarding Canadian defence policy. We ofteh hear that our spending on defence is minimal, perhaps exceeding that of Luxembourg, but not by much. The truth, however, is that when-compared with the 30 industrialized nations in the world, Canadian defence spending ranks in the top-third in terms of absolute spending, per capita, spending and as a percentage of our total budget. Only as a percentage of gross national product does it fall to the lower half, a reflection of Canada’s high GNP. Deterrence based on mutually assured destruction (MAD), the concept that both sides would be destroyed should either initiate a nuclear strike, has been abandoned by the Pentagon. Defence planning in the U.S. is directed toward winning an extended nuclear war against the U.S.S.R. Canada through NORAD is being drawn into this aggressive policy. According to Regehr, Canadian security would be better served by assuring the U.S. that as a good neighbor we would take all necessary precautions to prevent any attack over our territory. Suc.h, a promise was made by Prime Minister Mackenzie Kmg to U.S. President Roosevelt earlier in this century. Canada could become a demilitarized zone or a buffer between the superpowers using its resources for peacekeeping. Gunnar Boehnert, a well-known military historian and a member of the Atlantic Council of Canada, a

civilian branch of NATO, was clearly infuriated by Canadian co-operation in the testing of the cruise missile. The tests are a violation of NATO policy seeking detente. Five of seven NATO policies deal with ways that NATO countries can work together to seek peace. Canadians should be working together with Europeans to resist destabilizing moves by the U.S. NATO allies have shown a serious and dangerous lack of courage to resist U.S. policies. ,A laser researcher and expert on Star Wars,, UW Professor John Hepburn, reported that the majority of scientists believe Star Wars to be.an offensive destabilizing program, not a defensive shield of population . centres, as President Reagan described SDI. SD1 has been redefined as a method to protect U.S. missile sites, making the success of a U.S. first strike possible. If one side can protect its missile sites, they can launch and possibly win a first strike. Hepburn suggested that Canadian security’would be better served by supporting ISMA (International Satellite Monitoring) instead of its costly commitment to the U.S. space station. ISMA is a proposal for an agency under .U.N. control to verify compliance with arms .I r,cl ,.* control agreements, whereas rne U.S. space station is likely to be linked to Star Wars. ISMA could release satellite information to the public, showing the violations of both superpowers. Currently U.S. and Soviet satellite info is released according to what the superpowers would like the public to become aware of. Brig. Don MacNamara of the National Defence Col_Gen. __. . .-.. . ,. lege, Kingston, gave an overview or Canadian delence policy, stressing support for the U.N., the World Court and U.N. peacekeeping forces, a Canadian initiative. As a nuclear scientist, he also expressed regret that ‘more scientists do not choose to follow a career in government or in the military because scientists are more aware of the intricacies of nuclear issues than many politicians and military personnel.

Reagan’s Mid-term

exam

At 75, Ronald Reagan is the oldest person ever to occupy the Oval Office. This probably doesn’t bother him, anymore than the prospect of dying or becoming senile. A recent study conducted in the U.S. indicated that fear of death and senility actually decreased as one got older. One out of four adults, ages 18-22, are very worried about dying, whereas only two per cent of those 75 and older give it much thought. As for senility, half of. the 18-22 year olds worry about this a great deal, compared with a quarter of those 75 and older. I That’s just as well, because Reagan has other worries this week. 1 Whatever the “old communicator” may say to the nation about the Tower Commission report, thememory blanks remain. As Reagan himself wrote to the commission: “In trying to recall events that happened 18 months ago, I’m afraid that I let myself be influenced bv other’s recollections, not my own. I have personal notes or records to help my recollections on this matter. only honest answer is to state that, try as, I might, I cannot recall anything whatsoever about whether I approved an Israeli sale in advance or whether I approved replenishment of Israeli stocks around August of 1985. My answer is therefore and the simple truth is, “I don’t remember - period.” The question as to whether or not Reagan is lying has been answered, to my satisfaction, by a medical doctor who, at 74, is younger than the president but, as he puts it: *‘At my age, I can go to the next room to get something, only to find when I get there that I have forgotten my original purpose.” Sound like Reagan at Reykjavik? Listen further: “In the elderly, recent memory begins to fail. His staff may brief him immediately before a press conference, but in a few minutes he could honestly forget almost everything that had been prepared.” And on the president’s memory blanks: “Others may believe.he is lying, but I don’t think so. When he says that he did not hear or know what Donald Regan said about the sale of arms, he may not really remember. When he says that Israel did not send arms and that he never condoned such a thing, he is telling the truth as he remembers it . . *.” Or, doesn’t remember it. ‘One question that remains is whether Reagan saw the memo from Col. North regarding shunting money from the Iran arm,s sale to the Nicaraguan Contras. If he did, then he has lied. But if he can’t remember . . . It’s almost like pleadingthe 5th (Amendment to the U.S.Constitution), isn’t it? And ,pleading the 5th used to infuriate Ronald Reagan. In the heyday of the McCarthy era -when Nixon was making his reputation by Commie-bashing in Congress and Reagan, as president of the Actor’s Union, by Commie-bashing in Hollywood - gangsters and teamsters and actors alike pled the Sth, and got off. Now Reagan, in the opinion of almost everyone, including the Kremlin, will survive this scandal by . . . not remembering. “We did not choose this administration,” said a Soviet Foreign Ministry spokesman, “but we have to live with it.” A term‘in the American presidency lasts as long as an entire college career. Midway in this, his second term as president, Reagan has had his mid-term exam - and has failed. The finals are coming, but Ronnie’s not worried. Why worry about the fate of the world a year and a half in the future, if you can’t remember arms sales a year and a half in the past? As to why Ronald Reagan, at 75, doesn’t worry about death or senility, Heidegger (in Being and Time) provides an answer; “The ‘they’ provides a constant tranquillization about death. . . The ‘they’ does not permit us the courage for anxiety in the face of Death.” (The Rev. Dr. Tom York is United Church His office is at St. Paul > Co Ilege.)

The Yellow Brick Road of Career Planning:

There are lots of ways to organize a Job Search by Student Vocational

Advisors

Confused about how to locate potential employers and job openings in your summer or permanent job search? Don’t despair - there are many means of finding employment -at your disposal, if you are prepared to invest some time and effort. Your chances of identifying companies with employment opportunities appropriate to your interests will improve if you complete some preliminary steps. First, define your immediate career goal(s), so that you may be able to direct your job search efforts. Second, list your abilities and skills to

enhance those goals. Consequently, you will be able to illustrate to potential employers your suitability for their job and assess the/company or particular job in terms of your needs and interests. Third, organization in your job search efforts is crucial. Schedule your time and keep a record of your job search activities. With the preliminaries out of the way, you are ready to start searching for actual jobs and companies to target in your job search. Searching want ads in newspapers and professional magazines is the most common approach used by job seekers. Unfortunately, only 20 per cent of the real job market is revealed by this medium and the competition is

stiff as these ads attract many applicants. However, newspapers and magazines also include job leads for the imaginative, resourceful job seeker via announcements regarding contract awards, new department openings, personnel resigning or retiring or expansion resulting form mergers, restructuring, or growth. Directories are another valuable source, of organizational information, including addresses, department titles, products, etc. Check the Career Information Centre in Needles Hall for directories such as Scott’s Industrial Directory, Directory of Associations in Canada, The Blue Book of Canadian. Business, Index to the Government of Onta-

rio, and Organization of the Government of Canada. For those interested in government positions,two publications found in the Career Information Centre, J.obmart and Topical, list actual job openings. Contacting business organizations, such as the chamber of commerce, professional and industrial associations, like the Ontario Association of Architects, and former employers will undoubtedly produce further contacts to investigate or perhaps reveal actual job openings. Professional newsletters and publications, Canada Employment Centres, and internal job postings can

also give leads to the job-seeker closer to campus. U W’s career services department uffers an alumni referral service (ARS), where alumni’s skills are computer matched to actual job openings and their resumes are forwarded to employers. Any UW alumnus can utilize this free service and May 1987 grads are encouraged to register with ARS (Needles Hall, room 1001) in March. Summer and permanent job-seekers alike can benefit from these employment hunting tips. Remember, the amount of time and effort put into your job search will determine the quality (and quantity) of the results.

~fail on moral grounds by Nancy McLean Imprint staff A 30-year-old woman finishes her exercise routine and, facing the home viewer, says: “I’m an active person, I’m in control of my life and my health . . . 1 don’t want to die from AIDS. With more than 50,000 Canadians carrying the AlDS virus, sex with different partners is risky. You either avoid it or use a condom for protection.” A ‘second woman adds: “it’s the new facts of life.” This script and three others were recently developed and presented for approval by the Canadian public Health Association (under contact from the federal ministry of health and welfare). Only one of the television commercials ‘has, however, been accepted. Telecaster Committee of Canada (TCC), a group that screens commercials for most private broadcasters, including CTV, and Global networks, rejected three of the ads. They believe that the ads condone casual sex Pat Beat& executive director of ICC condemned the wording of the

- .

ads, stating that they give the impression that “it’s OK to have multiple sexual partners as long as you use a condom.” She also felt it would be more responsible to say that condoms reduce the risk of AIDS rather than implying they guarantee complete protection against infection. “We want to make sure that we offend as few people as possible,” Beatty said. The decision to ban the ads was met by heated response. Howard McCurdy, NDP health critic, for example, attacked the action taken by TCC as “criminal”. Broadcasters should not deprive people who are at risk of contracting AlDS of the explicit information they need to protect themselves, McCurdy said. Liberal health critic Sheila Copps called broadcasters hypocritical for refusing the three spots while filling prime time with gratuitous sex and violence. In response to the rejection of the ads by the TCC, Robert Burr, spokesman for CPHA said: “The fact of the matter is we are addressing some of the messages to people who are having sexual relations with more than one partner.” “We’re not condoning this activity or condemning it,” Burr said. “We’re just saying it’s happening,” and that people should be made aware of how to protect themselves. The one ad which was accepted may not attract the intended target audience (singles and adolescents). It focuses on the family unit, doesn’t mention condoms, and promotes monogamy as the ideal way of avoiding AlDS infection. It is expected some people will argue strongly for the advertisjng of condoms, on the assumption that current mores preclude the possibility of abstention from sexual activity. Others will agree that abstention should be counselled, on ethical grounds, and that condoms should not be advertised.

WJSA Speaker: Professor Dumbroff speaking on Israel Thursday March 19

by Howard Adler contributing writer Waterloo’s annual economic forecasting seminar, WAT.FORE. CANADA 1987, took place March 10 in Needles Hall. Sponsored by The Society of Management Accountants, L as well as UWs economics department, this seminar aims to predict Canada’s economic trends for the forthcoming year. . The three speakers at the seminar were Dr.Douglas Peters, senior vicepresident and chief economist of the Toronto Dominion Bank; Robert Boaz of Midland Doherty; and UW Economics professor Dr. James Brox. Each gave a 20 minute presentation of their views on the direction of Canada’s economy. The common threads that ran through all three presentations were: world oil prices would be maintained at their current level of between US

Robert Boaz spoke of greater exports of hydroelectric power to the U.S. However, he cautioned that pro tectionist sentiments in the U.S., which entails the levy of large taxes

On behalf of UW and WLU, we would like to say an enthusiastic “Thank You” to all of these companies for their 1986 gifts, and to encourage our faculty and staff members, students and visitors to express their appreciation when supporting our business friends in the K-W area.

These companies have each made a personal pledge toward maintaining the excellence of WLU and UW. Their donations, as part of the ongoing )ve’re for You campaign, Donors to the “We’re Campaign in 1986

programmes

on crown corporations, might hamper these sales. Finally, Dr. James Brox presented his 1987 computerized model of Canada’s economy, which in the past has proved to be highly accurate. His model shows that growth in 1987 will be slower than in the past, but is a good sign since historically and cyclically an economic depression was expected in Canada. The Canadian dollars’ value will appreciate from last year to roughly US $0.75, while unemployment will maintain its present nine per cent levels. The seminar itself was attended by a large number of the KitchenerWater!oo business community. Because economic trends are as predictable as the weather, the fore cast for Canada in 1987 is considered conservative, with the predictions likely to be far from 100 per cent correct. The only totally accurate prediction at Tuesdays seminar was made by UWs chairman of the department of economics, Dr. K.M. Bennett, who predicted with absolute certainty that the WAT.FORE. CANADA 1988 seminar will be held next March.

rectmological art imitator to be 6n di$pIay at -_ Arts and Technology week by Suzanne Imprint staff

Griffith

a UW students will have the opp-ortunity to interact with a revolutionary new art medium at next week’s Arts and Technology week, sponsored by the Creative Arts Board. The Mandala, developed by a group of UW Alumni called Very !&id, is a “culmination of music, art, dance and technology to create a new medium of performance art”, says the organizer of Arts and Technology Week, Jennifer Janik On stage, the ‘Mandala performer’ ends in front of a video camera and monitor, and a large screen stands behind him. Projected on the screen is a thick jungle, an Egyptian backdrop, an inter-planetary space scene, or any of the limitless computer generated scenes that can be created #ith the software provided. The per. former’s image is digitized and merged with the scenery up on the screen. Also projected on to the screen are any number of objects such as birds, balls, or musical instruents with which the digitized perormer actually interacts with on the screen to create music. The performer does this by watching himself in a monitor placed on stage in front of him. For example, as the performer moves his hand&e digitized image of the performers hand will move. As the hand’s digitized image comes in contact with G computer-generated image of a dtim on the screen, the computq till trigger a synthesizer or a drum machine to create the ap$t-opriate sound. The music created is not taped; it.’ is actually created by

the artist’s interaction with the graphics on the screen. The Mandala can also allow the human body to become a paintbrush. The performer can grab objects in the scenery and create a rainbow of colours and sounds as he moves the object.

The most amazing thing about the Mandala system is that all this animation and music creation is done in real time. “No one has done anything in terms of a real time, live, interactive performance tool”, says Vincent John Vincent Lowcock, Very Vivid's AlONUAY hlAlCl1

creative director. The Mandala will be available in the Campus Centre Great Hall on March 18 from 12:30 to 4:3O for in. formal demonstrations. In keeping with he spit-it of Art.s and Technology week, the students will have “hands on” experience by having the opportunity to actually see their digitized images on the screen and interact with the animation to create music.

That night at Fed Hall, the Mandala will be set up on the stage so while. students dance to the music being played, their digitized image will paint 1’UESl)riY nnnxcu 17

images and they will interact vjith the animation up in the large video screen. At 10 p.m., there will be a short demonstration of how the Man. dala will be used in a live perfop mance. The Mandala performer will be accompani&

Copies of Imprint vanish from campus’ by Teni Shewfelt Imprint staff Something other than a huge increase in popularity is suspected in the mysterious disappearance from campus last weekend of almost all copies of the March 6 issue of Imprint. Doug Thompson, Imprint’s type setter; arrived on campus Saturday morning and found that there were no Imprints left in the Campus Centre; when he left the CC about 6 p.m. Friday, he distinctly remembered seeing more than 500 papers outside the door of Imprint. Thompson then went to the math building to get a copy of the paper and discovered they were all gone from that building as well. Doug Tait, imprint’s distribution manager, said he always puts about 600 papers in the math building, and that there is usually some left the following Friday when he does his next distribution. As well, many students who came down to the Imprint office during the

week looking for copies of the paper said they-could not find copies any. where on campus. Papers have been reported missing in the PAS building, arts buildings, and particularly the Arts Library were there are usually more than 400 copies available for pick up. Imprint staff is concerned over the disappearance of the papers. Students pay an Imprint fee each term and there should be papers available for them. In the past papers have been thrown out by janitors or turned into confetti at Warriors’ basketball games, but that was just in selected areas of the campus, and in smaller numbers than what disappeared last weekend. Campus security when contacted about the disappearance, said they had not noticed anything suspicious, but would keep their eyes open this weekend. Anyone having information about the missing papers, or who noticed people removing large quantities of Imprint from campus last weekend, should contact campus security or Imprint with this information.

New alumni campaign begins - The University of Waterloo will launch its first major alumni campaign this month - a drive to raise $3.1 million -in donations. The campaign will be launched in the university’s development and alumni offices, south campus hall at 330 p.m. March’ 17. Chairman of the campaign is Michael C. Volker, a UW engineering graduate and co-founder of VolkerCraig Ltd., one of the most success. ful producers of computer terminals in North America. Today, he is president of Volker Communications Ltd., a company which develops new technology firms and ventures and also vice-president of China-Can Technologies Inc., which-- exports

Canadian technology to China. The new campaign, which will continue for three years, will involve a mail-and-telephone-call program to 30,000 alumni across Canada . . . with calls to be made four nights a week for the next 18 months. In addition, there will be 14 regional teams of volunteers (them. selves UW alumni) who will personally call on more than 2,000 others, asking for “leadership” con. tributions. Slogan for the alumni campaign is: “it all started here.” The drive will stress the achievements of the university and its alumni and will coin. tide with UW s 30th anniversary (the first 75 students were enrolled in 1957.) According to Jon Dellandrea, vice

president (university development) alumni support for Waterloo has been growing dramatically in recent years, with donations totalling more than s400,OOO last year. He says the campaign, together with other special appeals such as fund drives for the School of Architecture and the School of Accountancy, will be a forerunner to the next major capital campaign, expected to be launched in two to three years. The latest drive, the WATFUND campaign, concluded in June, 1986, a year ahead of schedule, and was a resounding success. . Dellandrea says Waterloo will be the first university in Canada to de. * sign and administer a full-scale alumni campaign completely “in house.” - -

asked to joi Did you know that Ottawa has three municipal governments? That’s right, there’s the City of Ottawa, the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton and, most obtrusively, the National Capital Commission (NCC). The NCC is a Crown Corporation which has traditionally been charged with the beautification and development of Canada’s capital (considered by the NCC to be the Ott.awa4-U area). its new additional mandate is to involve all Canadians in the evolution of the Capital and to make it a symbol of Canada’s identity. July 1, 1988 will mark the inauguration of Canada’s Ceremonial Route, which will encircle the historitally significant core of the capital. To add colour to the inauguration ceremony and to promote national interest in the capital, the NCC is sponsoring Celebration ‘88, a design competition for banners to be used in the inauguration ceremony. Ceremonial routes exist in most capital cities throughout the world. They accommodate national and cultural events and are the usual routes for the transport of visiting for. eign dignitaries. Examples of such events in Ottawa include the opening and dissolution of Parliament, the changing of the guard, the Remembrance Day celebrations and Canada Day. They also influence the image of the city and indeed the whole country retained by a foreign visitor. Characteristics of ceremonial routes may include esplanades, colonnades and covered walkways.

ing coiour and intensity should be developed to set the route apart from other city lighting. The design of “street furniture” such as fountains, planters, waste bins, benches and news boxes should be harmonized so as to give the route a unique char. ader. Flags and banners are essential. Along with the requisite Canadian flags, foreign flags are flown to honour the country of the visiting foreign leader. The main traditional ceremonial route is the “Mile of History”, the drive from Rideau Hall (the Governor General’s residence) to Parliament Hill along Sussex Drive. It is a beautiful scenic route with a view of the Ottawa River and is flanked on both sides by magnificent federal buildings. The proposed additions inelude the Ceremonial Ring looping through Ottawa and Hull, the length of Elgin Street from Lisgar Street to Confederation Square, and part of Colonel By Drive leading to the Ceremenial Ring. The banner design competition is aimed at involving young people across Canada in the creation of the Ceremonial Route. Entrants must be university or college students in art or design-related programs. There will be a first prize of $3,000 and four honourable mentions of $1,000 each. The selection of finalists will be based on the following criteria: design, theme of celebration, relationship to immediate surroundings and symbolism. To aid this process, competitors must submit written concepts interpreting their work

(4) anticipated future applications. The final volume also contains a section on government regulations and patent requirements. Comprehensive Biotechnology is said to be of interest to engineers, biologists, health scientists, toxicologists, and even administrators, executives and legal and investment advisors - to anyone involved with biotechnology. It has been favorably reviewed by many science-related journals including: Nature, Process Biochemistry, Choice, Biotechnology Newswatch, Newsletter of the American Society of Microbiologists, and the Journal of the American Chemical Society. It has also been warmly praised by scholars including Nobel Laureate Don Glaser, University of California, Berkeley, and Sir William Henderson, Agricultural Reserch Centre, England. Comprehensive Biotechnology involved an international team of 150 writers; it is regarded by many as an essential for the library of any industrial or university lab involved with the general subject. The publisher has contracted Prof. Moo-Young to bring forth updating volumes in the future, starting with specialty areas; the first two supplements, entitled “Animal Biotechnology” and “Environmental Biotechnology,” are due in 1987 and 1988, respectively. “‘Murray Moo-Young and his colleagues have brought off a notable success in producing this work,” comments the distinguished U.K. publication, Nature, in its lengthy and __ tavorable review. “It was a tedious, but worthwhile job,” says Prof. Moo-Young. “We are sure the work will probably become a standard reference treatise. In anv event, we’ve put some structure a&J rationale to this rapidly developing, widely - . . .. dispersed, multi-disciplinary tield.”

It was hoped that gaps between college and uniier& students, professors and professionals were bridged.

Spring has sprung, the snow is melting away, and everyone is just itching to get out of those heavy winter clothes. To help begin the celebration, here are a few fashion tips from Blair Lancaster-Kemp, fashion co-ordinator of the spring fashion show at Market Square. Q: Are there any strong colour influences this season? A: Anything goes this season! Pastels, brights, neutrals - whatever you feel good wearing. Pastels are especially popular, but that’s because it’s spring and pastels look and feel light and airy. Brights will be equally as strong this season. Q: If you had to choose one or two fashion items for this season, what would they be? A: A longer length skirt is terrific for business and casual wear. You feel good wearing it. It allows easy movement and comfort while pro-

viding a fashion flair. Another good investment this season is a high quality sweater, perhaps form a designer collection. Many collections of very classic and dazzling sweaters are out this season; a good quality sweater is a timeless fashion addition. Q: Are there any definite “fashion taboos” this season? A: A great deal of choice exists this season in colour, style and length. We will be seeing everything in skirt lengths, from minis to ankle length. The only thing to be careful of is to make sure that the skirt length suits your figure type. Proportion accordingly. Also, when wearing a suit jacket and skirt, make sure that they are of the same length type. For example: wear long tops with longer length skirts, and shorter tops with knee-length skirts. Q: For a student’s tight budget, can you suggest anything that is fashionable for office wear during a work term, yet is easy on the budget?

A: A great alternative to the budget crisis this season are “soft sets.” A soft set is a matching print or solid blouse and skirt. Worn with a belt, it functions as a dress. Or, the pieces can be worn separately with other. co-ordinating blouses or pants. The soft set lends a great deal of flexibility, style and more options, while sticking to the budget. They are a good choice for a work term. What are the spring trends, if you’re out looking for an improvement in your wardrobe? The Midwest influence predominates; the cowboy look, updated with the look of chambray, rhinestone glitter and studs. Nautical, always a classic, is widely seen, with its navy,red, and white with authentic looking brass buttons and deck shoes. Influenced by “Out of Africa” and the Australian spotlight is theSafari look, especially with floral and tropical bird prints. This year, however, the usual safari neutrals are paired with brights, and classic cuts are combined with the new safari colours. Aztec prints are also quite plentiful this season. Women’s fashion is also. experiencing and old-fashioned,oh-sofeminine lace and eyelet revival. We will be seeing lace and eyelet petticoates to soften the denim chambray skirts, lacy collars and soft floral prints. Eyelet, in white and pastel shades, will be widely, seen. The effect is totally feminine, and incredibly reminiscent of the 19th Century. Men’s wear will experience much of the coloration of the season. Cas\ ual wear includes the nautical look, the western chambray, and the safari influence. Cotton sweaters with beautiful colours are very prevalent to compliment the casual look. For business wear, the men’s fashion scene displays a great deal of texture mixing - combining subtle prints, tweeds and stripes in monochromatic tones. Classic grey, from pearl to charcoal, produces a very elegant and businesslike look. When you are shopping for some new Spring clothes, have fun with the trends, but make sure the look and cut fit your personality, or bring it out. Fashion this spring is lively and fun. Welcome Spring!

energy as a year ago, but this year’s UZEB concert at Ki ,tchener’s Corone t was cheered by a packed house. Forward Motion Productions staged an artistic triumph on March 6 with three bands: The Exploding Postmen, Line One, and UZEB. All of the bands received appreciative audience response, especially the main act UZEB. Cambridge’s The Exploding Postmen were a good opening act, though a little short on musical insight. With two guitars, bass, percussion, synthesizer, and drums, they generate aura1 textures and catchy simple heads. Ac knowledging influences like the Mahavishno Orchestra, King Crimson, Pat Metheny, and Rush, the bass player, Drew, is optimistic about this new group’s future and confesses that they must war .k at expanding their musical vocabulary. Considering The Exploding Postmen have worked together for only eight months and have only played eight shows, their future shows should be worthy of attendance. A return engagement for Line One at the Coronet was greeted with enthusiasm from this local, partisan crowd. This local troupe has progressed noticeably in the past year, and has lately benefitted from the addition of a new bass player, Karl Stevenson. The tune Celico Hips, which moved from a straight punch rhythm to a funky swing, was an all out affair between the sax and bass. Line One will be appearing at the Princess Theatre in April lead by Dale Marcel. Dale is K-W’s answer to Late Night’s Paul Shaffer.

After the two sets and two encores by UZEB, the entire audience was cast under their spell. All veteran fans had their expectations fulfilled and all newcomers were quickly converted. The first set delivered a fe.w surprises. A new tune, Hard Funk, began with Michel Cusson’s electric guitar plugged into his electronic boards which generated an almost acoustic twang. Michel has a bag fall of electronic wizardry, which warps his guitar sound. UZEB concluded the first set with a grinding blues cover of Killer Joe. The second set commenced with Nice, a song which celebrates the beauty of that French port - the birds and the sea. Time Square, which is an impression of New York’s street noise, followed as a stark contrast. After playing numbers from the latest live records and from Between the Lines, Paul Brochu (drums) and Jean StJacques (keyboards) came down into centre stage .to pound out the beat on 60, Rue des Lomb&s. Whisper Song was the first encore presented. Again Alain Caror made his bass sing; Caron moves from butt-busting funk or rock tc the swooning tones he slides fronhis fretless basses - both sounds are compelling. If UZEB was missed on Friday night, you may have to wait a yea] before they return this way. Plan ning to tour the European Jazz Fes tivals this summer, recording a neM studio album in August, and jump ing down State-side for severa shows, will keep them busy for al least a year. Until a return engage ment, check out their latest live re cords, Absolutely Live ant WEB, Live a L’Olympia.

Revenge will rule the Theatre of the Arts stage with Cyril Tourneur’s Revenger’s Tragedy. -The students of the Drama Department and director, Meg Westly, present this Elizabethan drama which highlights betrayal, disloyalty, lust, incest, and murder. I The lead. character, Vindice (Debbie Krulicki), swears to avenge the murder of his betrothed. The Duke (Douglas, Abel) is the culprit of this villany, and is doomed by Vindice’s sword. With the add of his brother, Hippolito (Glen Reimer), a disguised Vindice weaves into the fabric of the royal family. This fabric is not the silken tapestry of morality, but a house of lust and betrayal. With the aid of the family strife, Vindice and Hippolito achieve vengeance. The play has ,been given an ambiguous time period - possible present or future. The characters of the Duke’s house, Vindice and Hippolito are clad in “punk” garb leathers, chains, spikey-doos, and bright facial makeup. Though the costumes generate an atmosphere, the surprise of brother pitted against brother, mother against child, and subjects against king is lessened because this behaviour is expected under the guise of punks. Futuristic mood is suggested by the atmospheric music, but at intervals this spacey music does not represent the baseness of the human condition portrayed on stage. Some aggressive “real punk” music would make the flesh crawl, and offend the audience to aggravation. If Elizabethan verse is a welcomed fare (yes, you have to. think at theatre like this), the play commences at 8 p.m. at the Theatre of the Arts on March 12-14 and -March 19-21.

THE

by Tim Perlich imprint staff Like the Vocalists volume, the Chicago volume of the Atlantic Blues collection is a compilation of rare sessions done under the auspices of the Atlantic label. The first record of the double LP set deals with studio sessions taken mostly from the fifties and sixties. Opening the first side are two songs by former Sonny Boy Wiliamson and Joe Turner pianist Johnny Jones. Of special interest here is not entirely the piano work of Jones but the cool licks of the session’s guitarist Elmore ‘King of the Slide’ James. Though T-Bone Walker’s classic sides were cut for Blue Note and Imperial, the two songs here Play On Little Girl and T-Bone Blues Special recorded in 1955 stand up well against his best. NO small thanks to the blistering harmonica of Junior Wells and the unearthly

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff ii commercial radio wasn’t so afraid of pop that prefers guts to polish, Go Four 3 would probably be big sttirs with a-major record deal and regular guest shots on Solid Gold. But we live in a real world and Go Four 3’s scrumptious new chunk of vinyl will probably have to content itself with being worn out at campus radio stations. Like their debut mini-album of a coupla years ago, Six Friends is sunny and upbeat, but sharp pop with that welcome injection of hardnosed rambunctiousness that makes you want to roll down the car windows even if it’s -20 degrees outside and crank the tape deck up to 12. Sparkling, cutting shards of power chords fly off Steve Quinn’s guitar, Gord Badanic’s bass-playing has considerably more drive, sometimes doubling as lead instrument, the drumming of Rob Tomkow and his replacement Ian Noble is yet more forceful than on their first offering, and even Roxanne Heichert’s singing has made great strides in its range and quality. She

guitar of Jimmy Rogers. It’s also Junior Wells that sparks the fire in the Buddy Guy sessions which follow. Side two concentrates on the sessions driven by the King Curtis band, more specifically by Freddie King and Otis Rush. Needless to say, both are blues giants, but paired with the King Curtis sidemen (one of the toughest and funkiest bands euer assembled) their talents are put into proper perspective. Probably not at all a surprise to anyone who has heard the version of Memphis Soul Stew from the King Curtis Live At The Filmore (recently re-issued in Canada at budget price!), every song is quietly dominated by the thunderous bass of Jerry Jermot. Freddie King and his Gibson are held almost completely tongue-tied throughout his cover of B.B. King’s Woke Up This Morning. Live concert recordings taken from the Atlantic double LP recorded at the 1972 Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival and the Blues Explosion set recorded at the 1982 Montreaux Jazz Festival (and released in 1984). Unfortunately these recordings only help to point out the doesn’t dominate every song like she used to, but that says more about the improvement of the rest of the band and the uniform excellence of the arrangements than of any shortcomings on her end. Of course, the constant comparisons to The Buzzcocks and The Undertones are only going to be heaped on countless truckloads given the joyous pop-punk nature of their music, but Go Four 3 is determinedly carving out their own niche in the pop world. The best pop has always been about feeling and while Go Four 3’s lyrics aren’t going to change anyone’s life, there is always the tinge of bitter-sweet emotion in Roxanne’s vocals that make each of the 12 cuts more than just another happy song. Harmonies turn The Co/our of Money into a thing of wistful beauty. Her vocal inflections give a tone of anxiety and hesitant trust to Save Me and a sense of paranoid concern to Seventh Victim, a song about hearing that a serial killer who has already murdered six people is still on the loose. It really is an anomaly that a band as vibrant and immediately likable as Go Four 3 has to slog it out on an indie and labour in relative obscurity while third-rate Wham! photocopies like Glass Tiger can become megastars. Radio and all its damned formats . . . awww, you could bitch about it all day and still not change anything. Just get Six Friends and make their day and yours.

truth in the myth that Chicago blues musicians can’t reproduce the atmosphere of their studio recordings in a live concert situation. Even the most ardent Howlin’ Wolf fan would have to agree that the Wolf’s performance in Ann Arbor 1972 (just four years before his death) even with Hubert Sumlin on guitar, it doesn’t come close to the snarling evil exhibited on his lowliest Chess recordings. The only moments worthy of note are Luther Allison’s solid testimonial of Please Send Me Someone To Love and the swinging twang of J.B Hutto’s I Feel So Good. A cleverly varied collection but by no means exceptional. Still, the entertainment value of guitar slingers Freddie King and Otis Rush stumbling around in the soulful shadow of the King Curtis ban cannot be ignored.

by Chuck Mak imprint staff Hey man . . . this stuff really moves - sort of like easing back into the seat of your Porsche, feeling the cool rush of air blow through your freshly moussed hair. Somehow you wouldn’t expect four tall, lanky, blue-eyed white boys from of all places - Glasgow, Scotland to make this kind of smooth and groovy syrup that’s filled with funky and soulish delight. What makes this all so great though is the absolute boogability that energizes most of the tracks and it’s not for gino’s only. You jam that needle onto the first track and before you can say “coo001 man” your feet are already starting to itch - not from athelete’s feet but from the jumpy and vivacious beat - or is it the melody. . . uhhh . . . rhythm? And 10 seconds into Honeythief your pelvis instinctively starts grinding - no, not from jock-rot you silly baffoons but from the awesomely infectious musical totality that characterizes this and every other song. And what does drummer Harry Travers have to say about all this hype and hoopla? “WE’RE TRYING TO SELL RECORDS.” You got to love honesty - especially in this day and age of gawdy, pretentious shit foisted upon a stupid public by such hopeless notables as Duran Duran and Simple Minds. Anyway my point is that Hipsway despite its fashionableness and predictability, is a band that isn’t gawdy, pretentious and shit. You know it too by the feel of the music. It’s a rarity these days #to find every song on an album good but Hipsway through their self-titled debut effort have accomplished the impossible with some really strong songs like the above-mentioned Honeythief. Take the meandering grooves of Ask The Lord ‘the chicness of Upon A Thread, the soulful ballad of Long White Car or the snappy touch of Broken Years and the graceful subtleties of Tinder they are fabulous and so are the rest. Hipsway as guided by the stylishly smoooooth vocal inflections of Graham Skinner - aka Skin - have got some good credentials to back their stake in the unforgiving competitiveness of the music business - in England anyway. But hey again . . . that country has got more taste than North America will ever have - musically speaking that is. Hipsway represents soulful and funk-filled pop at it’s breeziest - a style that is as refreshing as it is invigorating and you gotta love the vogue guitar picks and the bass synthesizer on Upon A Thread. Can’t beat that, can you?

A large portion of the songs on the Vocalists volume seem to be one-off singles and out-takes by great blues or soul stars who by some twist of fate crossed Atlantic’s path during their career. The Sippie Wallace songs for example, were taken from her one and only session with Atlantic in 1982. One of the pioneers of Vaudevillian blues, few would disagree that Sippie’s peak was reached some 60 years previous. The inclusion of this late session is more for its novelty value rather than being an example of her finest achievement. There’s also a novelty aspect to Ruth Brown’s Rain Is A Bring Down and Aretha Franklin’s Takin’ Another Man’s Place but in this case, Atlantic has done us a great service. The novelty of both songs is that they are previously unreleased, however, unlike the Sippie Wallace songs, they were cut during the performers’ peak of maturity. In Aretha’s case, her warmly emotive

The idea of putting together a compilation album that represents a city’s music scene is a good idea. The distribution and air-play the album receives only enhances the opportunity for lesser known acts from smaller areas to gain attention abroad. Recently, projects of this nature have surfaced from the fair cities of London, Calgary, and Halifax. With all the good intentions of a compilation, Out Of The Fog presents 13 of Halifax’s finest in a slickly packaged album. The smartly detailed liner notes makes an attempt to hype the music delivered, and would make for easy reviewing. But hey, one shouldn’t lie about what’s really going on in between the grooves. Descriptions of the bands and their musical styles, as portrayed by the notes, yields expectations of ex-

version of the Mable John (Little Willie John’s sister) song was done in 1969, featuring herself on piano and the monstrous Muscle Shoals crew of Eddie Hinton/Jimmy Johnson on guitar, David Hood on bass, and Roger Hawkins on drums. This ranks with her very best . . . which is saying a lot. An inclusion of songs previously available only as singles (now extremely hard to find) is another service provided by the Vocalists volume. Otis Clay’s deep southern soul screamer Pouring Water On A Drowning Man, his second and final single for the Atlantic subsidiary Cotillion is here (for those interested, a cover of Sir Doug’s She’s About A Mover was his first). So is the Eldridge Homes New Orleans jem Cheatin’ Woman (recorded in a session with the Meters and has Marshall Sehorn and Allen Toussaint on the other side of the mixing board - who else?) and Johnny Copeland’s realization of his own foolish love in It’s My Own Tears That’s Being Wasted. The set is then topped off with a wave from Z.Z. Hill and one of his all-time greatest performances Home Ain’t Home At Suppertime. Overall it’s a somewhat spotty collection but the Otis Clay song and the unreleased Aretha tend to make it an essential purchase.

citing and challenging originals to be offered. Instead, the album proves to be uneventful, and lacks variety. The few tracks that do stand out, do so because the bands break through the banal barriers of new-age rock. Playing with a sense of urgency, the Jellyfish Babies reign on this record. Their track, Running Out of Time, contains a controlled frenzy that is impressive and appealing. Other notables on the album are efforts by False Security and Dogfood. Dubbed the “oldest punk/ hardcore band in Halifax”, False Security rules OK! (Ha, Ha) only because their guitars are the loudest Halifax has to offer. As for Dogfood, any band that can scream, Let it go! Let it go, go, go. My brain explodes!, for almost four minutes, and sound as if it is actually happening, definitely deserves to be heard.. Despite the shortcomings of Out Of The Fog, it is nice to know that there is “alternative” music occurring outside of the major centres in Canada. If I were to be displaced by Co-ordintation, and landed in Halifax, it probably wouldn’t be a bad work-term. At least, there would be something going on after a hard day of paper shuffling and photocopying.

beth Barrett might have written in a love letter to Robert Browning, right? Well, that’s actually not that far off the mark. Lawrence (singer/guitarist/lyricist/no last name) should have been born a pre-Raphaelite or something; he’d probably be offended if you said he was sad instead of “feeling melancholy”. Hermetically sealed in his flat so that he can concentrate every emotion and nuance of life into Art, he has nonetheless managed to evade the preciousness one might be led to expect and has fashioned a record that’s as well-produced, melodic, and thoughtful as anything his peers have come up with in the past year. Felt really only know one song, but it’s a damned great one. Reminiscent of Lloyd Cole’s less morose moments and positively reeking of Blonde on Blonde-era Dylan (Lawrence’s singing almost sounds like a I parody of Dylanesque phrasing on Hours of Darkness Have Changed My Mind: “It’s yoouur second naaapop ture . . . “), Felt’s not-quite-folky is a lush and lovely mix of rolling organ and arpeggiating guitars.

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff Out of the much-hyped British indie-pop movement of the past 18 months or so have emerged three distinct camps (albeit with a good deal of overlap). There are the socalled shambly bands typified by The Shop Assistants (recently signed to Chrysalis Records) and The Wedding Present (whose fab Peel Session EP is now out on Polygram) ‘who take their cue from the ecstatic pop-punk rush of The Buzzcocks and The Fire Engines and who give the David Fosters of the production world their worst nightmares. There is the almost sickeningly sweet ‘wimp-pop’ of the likes of Primal Scream and Mighty Mighty who have made a career thus far of rehashing cleaned-up versions of Jesus And Mary Chain’s Just Like Honey and enthralling sensitive British lads and lasses whose lives haven’t made sense since the demise of Peter and Gordon. Then there’s the vast middle ground into which better known acts like The Housemartins and The Jazz Butcher fit - a brand of pop that can give you that manic pop thrill and still move you with gorgeous melodies and insightful lyrics. And the bands to which this preamble is making its roundabout way, Felt, The Railway Children, and The Pastels, are among the best at bridging the gap between doing-it-yourself and maintaining . widespread palatability. Felt’s third album is called Forever Breathes The Lonely Word. Sounds frightfully Keatsian, n’est-ce pas? Something that Eliza-

The final cut, Sticks and Stones, is a good feeling rock-funk tune, which Tim viewed as a song demonstrating progress for L’etranger. According to the words in the wind, the Dead Kennedys are no more. With the impending court case of frontman Jello Biafra, the Kennedys and the record company, Alternative Tenacles, have folded. The package of Bedtime for Democracy is more overwhelming than the music. The record sleeve with its collage of a distorted America, a newspaper collage of Biafra’s clippings (very satirical), and the newspaper insert outlining the court problems facing Biafra deserve editorial comment because of their political substance.

The album contains 22 tracks (none of which are 15 minutes in length - surprise). Tunes like ISpy, Do The Slag, and Where Do You Draw The Line are the classic maximum rock ‘n’ roll riff s which made the Kennedys famous in the early ’80s. Some tracks get bogged down without direction, but the lyrical content has always been the Kennedys’ claim to fame. On this record they poke Rambo, Ronny, mindless music, and chemical dumping. These guys never won a Grammy (that’s because whimpy shitheads get them), but their biting satire of our society will be missed.

Not fresh releases

Originally release on SST, the second Bad Brains album is available domestically. i agains i is a new turn for Bad Brains, who blend a little reggae and funk with heavy rock and hardcore. Up-tempo tunes, I against I, House of Suffering, and Let Me Help hail their early hardcore roots. They were also known for their reggae sound which is blended into songs Secret 77 and She’s Calling You (more rock-funk). Because the music is not based on a single style it takes a few good listens to become appreciated. The voice of H.R. (the throat) is a compelling sound as he moves from hardcore barking, to sustained notes, to screams - a versatile sound which moves this band out. On of the album’s best, Return To Heaven, H.R. is at his best when moving from a rhythmic bark to a climbing scream. Fringe Product is a growing independent label distributing acts like Vital Sines, U.I.C., Breeding Ground, etc . . . Check out their wares, and dare to be different.

form New Order-land, Factory Records, met with enthusiastic praise some weeks ago with their first single, A Gentle Sound, have fulfilled every shred of promise and then some with their just-released followup, Brighter. The A-side is guitar-pop at its glorious best. An insistent beat skips along at a galloping pace and pulls in a heavy layering of guitars, some picked, some rhythm, and some grandly strummed. All this and one hell of a tune. Too much! Brighter is as close to perfect as pop gets. Every element fits per-

Dead In Love Disappointed A Few People , Psyche Industry

by Don Kudo Imprint staff Talking Heads circa Fear Of Music and/or Remain In Light, Stranglers’ keyboard coolness, and Skinny Puppy schlock, are a few tangibles to DAFP’s Dead In Love. It’s a confusing mixture, that makes for a wild Walkman head

Pop fectly, the production is clean and bright, but not glossy, and the playing and singing are best described as inspired. Add to that History Burns on the flip, a more drivingly, rhythmic, but no less melodic song and you have a single which shouldn’t be talked about but BOUGHT. Finally, we veer dangerously close to wimpdom with Scotland’s The Pastels. Up For A Bit With The Pastels is pretty pop with more diversity than the vast majority of their compatriots, using twangy rockabilly riffs and tough rhythms where most stay safe in their three-chord cloisters. The playing is accomplished and adventurous, the melodies simple but dripping with hooks, and the harmonies are always affecting. This should be a “run, don’t walk, to your record store” proposition, but as much as I.like the album, I also can’t help but be greatly disappointed; this is really only half the album it could have been. The Pastels fall into the same trap as much of the rest of the indie world at present - they’re too obviously courting the big labels and are afraid of offending anyone. The vocals on Up For A Bit are so polite these guys could be singing to your parents at tea-time. Like, don’t these guys ever feel so happy that they want everyone in the world to know? Haven’t they ever been so pissed off or brokenhearted that they just want to scream at the top of their lungs to anyone who’ll listen? It’s a shame, really, that the, singing is so dispassionate - it takes what could have been one of the best albums of the young year and turns it into a record that’s merely good. buzz. Primitive and often painful poundings, test your endurance Beware of La Solitude. Accessible, sultry dance numbers propel in depth maneuvers of body and soul - Flow with Ecstacy. The Montreal band displays little tendency to adhere to any specific musical norm. The breaks between tracks intrigues the listener as to the direction the band will take on next. Above all, Disappointed A Few People challenge. Their album should not be cast aside on the basis of superficial listening. Exploration of Dead In Love will bear no disap pointment .

I Round

by Peter Lawson Imprint staff It was a long time in coming, but k.d . ang and the recliners have finally issued another album. Angel With A Lariat is the latest offering from the new queen of outrageous country music. Despite some good up-tempo tunes, this album does \ not overwhelm a cow-punker who wants to hear guitar twang and down-home howling. The producer, Dave Edmunds, has done a real number on this one - like shooting it. The first two numbers, Turn Me

and High Time For A Detour, are fast pasted cow-honkers but do not grab you were you live. Diet Of Strange Races is one of the home written highlights. This metaphor of travelling is a light swinging ballad which has a subtle hook. The ’50s honky-tonk tune, Got the Bulls By The Horns,suffe,rs from the overbearing instrumentation a simple tune lost under over-production. Ms. Lang’s humour rises in Watch Your Step Polka which is a polka beat with an irreverent motif from the Warner Brothers’ cartoon music. The second side starts disastrously with Rose Garden - sorry Daahhlin’, but I can not stand this tune. The two following cuts shine more brightly. Tune Into My Wave ‘is good drivin’ honky-tonk, and Angel With Q Lariat pushes hard with a rockabilly drum beat.

-After Pay Dirt, yet another boomboom country tune, the concluding quiet number, Three Cigarettes Zn An Ashtray really gets my fur up. What the hells with the violins? The only singers who need to hide behind violins, in pop music,-are those singers v~ho are unable to hold a tune, like Phil Collins or Dave Ed-

munds. To that producer - let this lady sing. She has a killer set of pipes which can do a great deal more than barely hold a tune. Next time gives us a break. This ballad has a great melody in the vocal line, no need to hide it. The big peeve with this record is the whole package of production.

Lang’s voice is over-blended and does not take hold of your ears. It would have been delightful to hear her sing a blues number on this record - she does a couple in her live sets. Also, the zaniness which makes k.d. a fantastic ente?tainer is not captured on album. Maybe best to see her live.

Mould still ‘sees a world populated Under all that buzz of guitars and blitzkrieg beat there are by broken dreams and broken brilliant harmonies and even heroic hearts and until we reach some sort of earthly nirvana, his lyrics will guitar solos as on the single Could You Be The One. How many always ache of our shared hardcore bands have Repeat Bridge experiences. their lyric As is inevitable with virtually any written throughout sheets. double album, Warehouse: Songs And Stories has its filler, but with Back From Somewhere and Ice Cold Ice showcase the new Du that the exception of three or four throwaway songs, everything here has no qualms about using guitar hooks, bass as melody instead of the is worth the hefty price. Just pray that the recent suicide of their monotone, heavy pulse we’re accustomed to hearing from Greg manager doesn’t put their Husker Norton (the man with the handlebar Du’s career permanently on hold. moustache Rollie Fingers would murder for), and drums as layers of rhythm, not just as the impossibly Ert beat Grant Hart is renowned . These are songs you’ll remember for years for their canny blend of beauty and toughness. Hart, who wrote Candy Apple Grey’s two best songs in Don’t Want To Know If You’re Lonely and Sorry Somehow, further reveals himself as the Huskers’ better tunesmith writing moving, often haunting songs from the epic, folky poignancy of She Floated Away to the bitterness of Too Much Spice, an attack on the way people try to fill the emptiness in their lives with ~meaningless cheap thrills and faddish accessories. But the competition Hart presents only brings out the best in Bob Mould whose three contributions to Side 3 are among his best compositions to date.

WEA by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff It’s nice to know that success doesn’t always breed complacency. We all know the old story - good “alternative” band puts out some brilliant, innovative records to a . cultish, but slowly building audience, gets a taste of big-time bucks, and then sells out in grand fashion to the hoopla of AM radio (just look at Simple Minds and Psychedelic Furs for two notorious examples). Most people had fears for more of the same with news early last year that Husker Du were leaving, SST Records .for the sunnier climes of WEA, and then Minneapolis’ favourite sons turned around and made Candy Apple Grey, which many consider to be their finest album to that point, while still managing to open up a much wider audience. And this two-record set, Warehouse: Songs And Stories, is their greatest achievement to date. Not-as accessible, nor nearly as gentle as Candy Apple Grey (acoustic songs are notably absent), there is a lot going on here that should once and for all lay tq rest that cumbersome “hardcore” tag in spite ‘of the presence familiar ,- .<--nobly-expressed, ‘1 ,..’ ‘, ; __ ,,but;. :- -

Voodoo gurus. talk trash Deja Voodoo Interview by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff d Everybody’s favourite sludge monsters Deja Voodoo grunged their way up the six flights of stairs to The Turret last Wednesday to broil the brains and skewer the ears ‘n’ innards of Waterloo’s slimy hordes of musos. Between sets marked by beaucoup de sweat, Bo Diddley grave-robbing, and deeply disturbed jokes and anecdotes, the grand viziers of sludgeabilly were kind enough to give us an audience at an undisclosed location hidden deep in the bowels of WLU and were even good enough to start the interview themselves. Gerard Van Herk: Don’t hit anything on the table or else it’ll be really loud, on the tape. You guys are gonna be stuck with all the same quotes and everything. This is no good! Let’s sit on this side ’ of the table with our arms crossed . . . Ask us if we like America so far. Imprint: So what’s happening with the new It Came From Canada compilation?

they’re gonna have a record and then three days before the record’s supposed to come out, they still don’t have a tape record,ed. Imprint: Has the It Came From Canada curse continued? Gerard: You mean with bands breaking up? Not as bad as the first one. I kinda hoped we’d have the Volume 3 done by now but we’ve been too busy with the day jobs. Anyways, the curse of Volume 2 hasn’t been nearly as bad as with Volume 1, hardly anyone’s broken up in the past two months. Well, Guilt Parade broke‘up right away, and The Electric Bananas broke up before the record even came out, but I think almost everybody else is still together. Tony: Ah! Ray Condo! ’ Gerard: Yeah, well that’s still a rumour . . . and we don’t want any rumours around here. Imprint: Any progress, with the Deja Voodoo movie? ’ Gerard: What movie? Tony: It might be shown in Montreal. Gerard: It’s supposed to be dead! But they might cut it down to two minutes with a song in the background and show it at The Spectrum for the Festival of Alternative Video. It’s the trailer to the trailer of Sludgeabilly Monsters From Outer Space: the greatest movie never made. ’ Tony: It’s Voodoomania and not the real thing. The Gruesomes are doing that too. Gerard: Yeah, we’re getting all these bands together in different cities across Canada to be Deja Voodoo so we don’t have to play. We hate to leave - town _ so it doesn’t make sense. And we’re gonna have a Deja Voodoo in the U.S. cuz we have-so much trouble getting into the U.S. . . We’re going to Europe! (B angs fist on table.)

Normally, movies like Lethal Weapon are junk; mindless, violent and boring. But this new “police action thriller” appeared to have a lot going for it. To begin with, it boasted Mel Gibson, Danny Glover ._ and_ 1 Gary Busey, three unusually talented actors. As well, both Gibson and Busey were given training in unusual -martial arts skills and, if nothing else, some interesting action scenes between the two seemed in the offing. Unfortunately, Lethal ‘Weapon, directed by Richard Donner, does not live up to its early promise. Glover is good, but Busey is underexposed, and Gibson is utterly wasted; he could have been replaced with Michael Dudikoff without making the movie any worse (or any better). There are some interesting efforts made by Donner and scriptwriter Shane Black to inject some dramatic appeal into the affair, but the results are too contrive&to be enjoyable. Gibson and Glover play, respectively, Riggs and Murtaugh, two Los Angeles police detectives who have be&n assigned to work with each other on a murder case. Neither are happy about the partnership; Riggs doesn’t want to work with oldster

changes its colours so often, first intelligent, then ridiculous and corny. It’s not like 48 Hours, which trod the \line between comedy, drama and action incredibly deftly. Lethal Weapon sivply lapses into incompetence too many times to be tolerated.

Murtaugh (who just celebrated his 50th) and Murtaugh wants to avoid Riggs like the plague, since its been rumored that the latter has a death wish. His wife, who appeared to be his raison d’etre, died two years ago, and he sees no reson to go on living. No officer want6 to work with Riggs, since his foolhardiness tends to put nthce-c

To the movie’s credit, there are some great action scenes. When Busey’s Mr. Joshua (an evil henchman) makes his getaway in a car, Riggs chases after him on foot in a sequence which will leave you breathless. And the scene in which Riggs and Murtaugh try to set up the smugglers and get the young Miss Murtaugh back is chock full of tension. But the problem is that Donner has mixed great drama with hopelessly contrived situations, the result being confusion and disbelief amongst the audience; the picture is impossible to enjoy because- it

It’s too bad that Lethal Weapon didn’t turn out better than it did, because there are a lot of great ideas , which were just not fleshed out or not handled very well. The most glaring of these is the climactic martial arts battle between Gibson and Busey, which is filmed in the rainy tighttime, so that we can’t see it very well. As it stands, Lethal Weapon is pretty unsatisfying.

the brace never write poetry is an innovative alternative to traditional Canadian poetry. In the summer of 1982, Jones, now an alleged Torontonian, decided that he would become ‘A Poet’. This pretentious attitude toward poetry and poets has contributed to the production of an intriguing and often bizarre collection of selected literature which reflects much of Jones’s personal experienceJones’s progression (digression?) as a “Poet” is followed in the varying sections of the book:

Much of the problem lies with Gibson’s character, Riggs, who is presented to US as a Vietnam vet who happens to be a killing machine. He’s a crack shot, and pretty hot at martial arts, to boot. He’s, presented as an uncaring maniac \ whose prime, indeed only, joy in life appears to be killing people. Riggs is $1~0 pretty suicidal. In short, a nowadays Mad Max, an uncaring, unfeeling animal. It’s his transformation from that into a normal, well-adjusted citizen in the space of but a few days that’s the stuff of nonsense, and that ultimately buries this picture.

But back to the story. It turns out the murder case the guys are working on is connected to a heroin smuggling ring which had its beginnings in Vietnam, and when the bad guys kidnap Murtaugh’s daughter, the boys decide to roll some heads!

Athena monsters

It was monsters versus cowering gweebs, basketball goddesses against bumbling hacks, talent versus ineptit,ude. The dichotomies are endless. Yet when the wood cooled off at the PAC on Tuesday, and sweat-stung eyes were lifted wearily to the scoreboard, the famed Athenas roundball battalion realized they had not in fact administered the shellaquing they were predicted to. No, they didn’t burn out the lights on the PAC scoreboard. In fact, the Imprint losers left many a Vegas bookie scratching his slimy hair in dismay, as they finally conceded their first loss of the season, 5748. The polarization of ability was evident during the warm-up. The Imprint schleps were neatly attired in Yuppie golf shirts as they aimlessly heaved’ the stippled orb ineffectively at the unscathed iron. Meanwhile, on the other side of the trench, the Athenas, garbed in their sharpest beach apparel, looked headed for a day at Turke.y Point. And they might as well have been, considering their listless and lethargic yet cocky and effective draining of every sphere fired toward the mesh. The Imprint retreads couldn’t even escape the warm-up without staring the Grim Reaper in the face; star forward Cord Durnin was whisked off to the hospital after an untimely plunge to the canvas left his physical wellbeing in shambles. Yes, he sprained his ankle. But not even the universal ramifications of this ’ devastating tragedy could daunt the Imprint turds. Paul “Shut Up I’m Not Leaving The Court” Done, inked up the stats sheet with 16 ill-gotten points. Encased in his Muppet Baby jams, Done blocked shot after shot, despite the fact that he ,was sucking wind throughout the contest. Next in line, was Rob “Out Of Control” Day, who canned 12. He was followed by Glenn “Akeem” Hauer who hooped 10 with his silky-smooth I jumper and flying elbows under the boards. Mike “Downtown” Brown kicked in 4 (in a manner of speaking) despite being accosted by Athena hit-woman Cindy Poag. At one point the name “Windex” was bandied about with reference to Mike for the way he cleaned the glass,

skying for rebound after rebound. Phil Birnbaum meshed 2, and would have scored more had he looked toward the basket. Also with 2 were Arts-types Tim Perlich, who shocked the modern world by not slamming once, and Don “Sleeping Giant” Kudo whose ball handling abilities turned the heads of even the most seasoned observers. Although the above are the only ones who managed to ripple the cords, mention must also go to Chris “Hitman” Wodskou, who pummelled the unsuspecting Athenas, Pete “Straycat” Lawson, who hiking shorts and laminated hair inspired the team at the worst of times, and f‘Jum-

pin”’ Tohn Zachariah, who scored ihe most solid hit of the game .with a patented NFL clothesline tackle to an unidentified player undergoing a tracheotomy today. In addition, the Athenas ability to contain star Steve “Spud” Kannon (0 for 10 from the 3-point stripe) helped their cause, especially when Spud had to, resort to his Pele soccer skills by heading a rebound clear into the PAC parking lot. His teammates were not impressed by his insistence on shooting from another time,zone - even on fast breaks. Finally: we can’t forget Andrea Luxon, who played well but failed to deliver the promised

two-handed reverse slam, and Terri Shewfelt. Thanks for cornin’ out, Terri. Brenda Bowering, picking herself up off the floor after a <vicious blindside hit from Rob Day, spear-headed the Athenas with 10 points. Monica Siewertsen had a fine all-around game: canning 8 points, grabbing heaps o’rebounds while Paul and Glenn were receiving oxygen on the sidelines, and leaving the letters S-P.-A-L-D-I-N-G impressed upon Rob Day’s forehead following a monstrous rejection. Co-captains Corinna Lueg and Cindy Poag joined in the Athena .scoring spree with half a dozen each. Corrina might have made the scorekeeper work harder had she not flubbed numerous trivial three-point field goal attempts - not even the magnificent way in which she stole the ball from Glenn Hauer could atone for her less-than-spectacular (a kind description) long-range shooting. Sheila Windle notched 7, three of which came on an alleged three-pointer which, to those fans not accompanied by seeing-eye dogs, seemed to have been launched from a league or so inside the line.

cial 6 points, using her blinding speed to run circles around the lead-footed Imprint losers. Big Jane Willet, who burned Done on two rigged jump balls, added 4, as did Karen “Muck” McCull& that speedy little bantam of the hardwood, before she passed out from circulation difficulties caused by her overly tight shorts. Michelle Campbell didn’t reach the scoresheet, but’ faked Done out of his Muppet Baby shorts (maybe her startling red shorts helped). Further, she scared the wits out of Imprint enforcer Wodskou with her withering “Death Stare”, following their midcourt near-collision. Perhaps the single greatest factor in Imprint’s untimely demise was the confusion caused by identical twins Lynn and Lori Parent. One of them scored 2 points, though no-one is quite sure which one. But let’s look to the future of this fine Imprint franchise. The gauntlet has been thrown at the feet of the Feds. Will they accept this cocky challenge? Although we sit with pens and highcuts poised, not an utterance has been heard from the Fed office. Stay tuned roundball lovers, the best may be yet to come.

B-ball playoffs were as crazy as the-season by Mike McGraw Imprint staff

. ,

I should have known better. I arrived at the OUAA West semis two weeks ago at Brock, confident that my predictions would finally come true. But in a season that was as unpredictable as Harold Ballard, such anticipation was a grave mistake. As I left the gym I noticed that my speech was garbled - I was sufferi,ng from Foot-In-Mouth disease. I must admit I came expecting to see -a Brock-Waterloo final. Can you blame me? Boasting the Boyce-Froese l-2 punch, UW was up against a relatively bunch of unproven kids from Mac. This was the same Mac

team they had consistently battered for the past five years. Meanwhile, Brock and their colossal front-court readied themselves for the streaking Mustangs from Western. Sure, the Stangs were on a six-game tear, but Brock’s big men looked invincible. Besides, they were playing in the warmth of their own home. Well, it /didn’t seem to‘ matter that Mac didn’t have Michael Jordtin to take charge. Their style was reminiscent of last year’s Montreal Canadiens - no household names, but a pesky attack with no less than five guys in double figures. Names like Bruzesse, Madronich, Preocanin and Bildulka took over the floor. During the introductions, the Warrior band was finally

able to sincerely ask, “Who’s he?” These less than noteworthies cancelled Waterloo’s annual trip to Halifax, 99-87. Western showed everyone ,how to stymie Brock’s big men. It’s a rather simple theory - pull up at 20 feet and drain every jumper. The basic tenet is that all the size in the world doesn’t matter if the only rebounds you grab went through the hoop first. To help matters, Badger star Kevin Moore came to play football - he racked up three useless fouls in the opening five minutes. His temper and 6 points (13 shy of his season average) helped UWO take it, 91-80. Come Saturday, Western’s well of jumpers ran dry, while Mac inducted a sixth member to their double-figures club. Natu-

rally, Mac romped, 92-79. Not bad for a team who’s own coach (Barry Phillips) remarked in Oc“the odds are stacked tober, against. us to be competitive right away.” Competitive? The word unbeatable sprang to mind as the new champs clipped down the mesh. The championship was so unexpected that nobody back home even bothered to reserve the Mac gym for last Saturday’s Wilson Cup game against U of T. No problem, Mac won again, 80-79. In fact, the glitter of the Copps Coliseum actually made the CIAU look a bit like the NBA. And what ever happened to Windsor and Guelph? Maybe they found the dizzying heights of the top 10 too much to handle. Windsor applied the Boston Red

Sox theory of how to hold a lead, squandering a 15 point bulge at Western in the quarters, eventually losing by 10. They proved once and for all that man cannot live on three-pointers alone. At the same time, Mac was helping Guelph coach Tim Darling to hang up his flashy courtwear for the last time. So ends the helter-skelter OUAA West 1987 season, and not a moment too soon. It’s left me demoralized, silenced and worst of all, broke. Maybe it’s only fitting that two OUAA West teams are heading to Halifax (yes, Western got chosen to go there too, not overly surprising). Will Mac add the mesh from Halifax’s Metro Centre to their collection? Well, I’m about the last guy you’d want to ask.

photo by’ Graeme Peppler Imprint staff Athena swimmers’ Kate Moore and Allison Loucas, along with diver Clare Young, made their presence felt at this year’s CIAU swimming and diving championships held in Halifax last weekend. Scoring a total of 91 points,the trio managed to oust 12th place in the final standings of the competition in which 22 university teams scored points. Opening the scoring for the Athenas was Moore in the ZOOmetre individual medley. Her eighth place in a time of 2:31.09 during the preliminary heats earned her a spot in’ the final where she ultimately moved up ,one place to claim seventh overall behind winner Karen Helmstaedt of the University of Toronto. Moore, who does not regularly train for the.medley event, established a new Athena record with her swim, improving on the previous mark by 0.30 seconds. The affable Athena next took to the water for the 100-metre backstroke. She outclassed all but Marie-Therese Armentero of Toronto to capture a silver medal in a time of 1:05.47, a time she whittled down from her preliminaries’ time of 1:06.90. Her final time also set an Athena record, topping the previous standard which she set in 1985.

The . ZOO-metre backstrokeprovided Moore, competing in her last year for Waterloo, with her second medal of the meet when she surged to third place and a bronze, chopping nearly two seconds off her preliminary time to finish in 2:21.69. McGill’s Manon Venne and Brock’s Kirsty Salmon took the first two places, narrowly out-pacing Moore. While Moore was busy setting records and racking-up 46 points for her valiant efforts in the pool, team-mate Allison Loucas went like stink in her events to garner another 20 points and two topfour finishes in final and consolation final races. . She ducked under the 27-second barrier for the first time this year on her way to fourth place overall in the banzai event of the meet, the 50-metre freestyle. Her time of 0:26.95, a new team record, was merely 0.30 shy of second place, while se-, cond through eighth places were covered by less than one second. Loucas’ other point scoring race was the consolation final of the ZOO-metre freestyle. Scorching through to take, the lead at the end of the first 50 metres, she had to settle for a third-place finish -an 11th place finish overall - in a time of 1:00.70, fractionally quicker than she had achieved earlier in the day during the preliminary races. Her third event, the 1OO-metre

butterfly, saw her fall seven onehundredths-of-a-second short of making the consolation final as she registered a time of 1:09.04. The event was won by a dominant Robin Ruggiero of McGill in a time of 1:02.73. Adding 25 points to the Athena’s sum - swi?ming finals distribute points on a 20-18-16-15-14-13-12-11 basis for first to eighth places and a 9-7-6-5-4-3-2-l basis for ninth to 16th places in consolation finals - was diver Clare Young. Competing at her first CIAU championships, Young surprised many with her impressive gold medal performance in the l-metre diving, scoring 317.30 points in the event, while in the 3-metre event, she slipped to 12th overall with a score of 308.90. Erin McCune of Toronto captured the 3-metre laurels with a score of 317.425. As the Waterloo women fought tooth-and-nail with the opposition in their events, the Waterloo Warrior squad was left with the daunting task of trying to make dents in the armour of their formidable opponents. Dave Adams, competing at his second CIAU championships in as many years, flew to fourth place in the consolation final of the 50-metre freestyle. His time of 0:24.'18 catapulted him from a 16th place seeding to his 12th place finish overall. Adams, the only Warrior able to score points in an individual event, also swam a competitive 100-metre freestyle, powering his time down to a respectable 0:53.81 yet he failed to gain a birth in the consolation final. Also present on the men’s team were CIAU newcomers’ DaveCash, Greg Pye, and Bill Elgie, the effervescent team co-captain ‘who accompanied the men’s team to swim on the relays. Cash, a Bermudian and regular starter on the Warrior waterpolo team, recorded a time of 2:17.12 for his ZOO-metre individual medley, while 1:57.59 was his ‘time for the ZOO-metre freestyle, an event won by Gary Vandermeulen of Calgary in 1:49.31. Pye swam to a time of 4:12.49 in the 400-metre freestyle, but suffered the ignominy of disqualification for an improper backstroke turn in the 400-metre individual medley, an event won by Laurentian student Alex Baumann in a world-best time 4:09.64.

The balance of the men’s team 35-point tally came by virtue of their relay performances in which the quartet of Adams, Cash, Pye, and Elgie obtained Ilth, 12th, and 13th place finishes in the 200 and 400-metres’ freestyle, and the 400-metre medley relays respectively.

Remarking that a lack of experience in national competition may have impinged on the men’s swims, he believes the team has a strong base on which to build for the future. The University of Toronto romped to victory in the women’s overall standings, accumulating 599 points to the University of British Columbia’s 324 points. Calgary, Mount Allison, and Brock filled out the top five with Waterloo taking 12th overall. Meanwhile, the men’s team from Calgary scored 637 points to defeat the University of Toronto which placed second ahead of Victoria, UBC, and Laval. Waterloo placed 16th in the men’s overall standings.

C.I.A.U. basketball down to eight teams r? by Mike McGraw Imprint Staff It’s down to the nitty-gritty in CIAU basketball. This weekend in Halifax, the six survivors from divisonal playdowns along with two wild card entries will vie for the coveted CIAU cage crown. For the first timein eight long years, the Victoria Vikings will not hoist the CIAU trophy. Their seven-year monopoly as national champs came to an abrupt halt when they dropped the CWUAA final to the UBC Thunderbirds. The annual Waterloo-Victoria contest had already been cancelled when UW’s attempt for a fifth consecutive crack at the crown ended with McMaster. L Stealing a page from the NFL, the CIAU has added the wild card format to the playoffs this season. Notching the two freebees are the always tough Winnipeg Wesmen, and top 10 favourites the Western .Mustangs. Heavily favoured to emerge as heirs to Victoria’s throne is Canada’s new university powerhouse, the Brandon Bobcats. They’ll play Quebec champions the Concordia Stingers in opening round action. Meanwhile, UBC will battle Western, while Winnipeg is slated to play OUAA East winner, the>U of T Varsity Blues. The remaining first round contest will see OUAA West champs McMaster face Atlantic Conference winners the St. Mary’s Huskies right in their own stomping grounds.

Campus Ret Volleyball season starts by Meg VanLoon If you are a volleyball player, March 5 was a memorable event for you and your team. This day marked the opening of Campus Recreation’s winter mixed tournament. Some 32 teams (or more than 230 people) participated in their preliminary games that night. Fun was the theme of the evening was and everyone who came out to play certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves. Said one participant: “We lost every game, but we had a riot.” Throughout the tournament, the gym floor was covered in a sea of jumping and diving Hawaiian shorts and shirts. It made one feel that summer and beach volleyball was just around the corner. Based on the results from the preliminary games, all teams were placed into one of four established flights. The flights ensure that teams of equal skill and calibre will play against each other. On March 12, the teams will have participated in this j final segment of the tournament. The competition will be hot. Stay tuned to this section next week for the final analysis of the tournament.

Team Waterloo sets new marks at Windsdr by John Denny Team Waterloo witnessed the uprooting of old land marks and the establishment of new ‘87 records at the OUAA/OWIAA track meet in Windor last weekend. Once again, the Warriors’ own power-house Harvey Mitro stormed his way to victory in the 1000-metre event. He clocked in a time of 2:24.07, slashing the OUAA record and setting a new UW record at the same time. Making similar tracks for herself, representing the Athenas, was Kelly Boulding, who ran an exciting 1500-metre race on Saturday. She finished second, but her time was still fast enough to put to rest the old Athena record in this event. Kelly ran a speedy time of 4:32.22, setting a new landmark for this event at Waterloo. Even though the Warrior 4x400 relay team were unable to attend the CIAU’s, due to lack of funds, they were none-the-less pleased with their new UW record time of 3:25.2. The team, consisting of Scott Galachan, John Denny, Harvey Mitro, and Derek King, ran very well on Saturday, finishing fourth overall. In the 5-K race, Andy Krucher, with phenomenal ‘kicking’ power, strided his way to victory in a time of 14:43.20. Nick Cipp was fourth, in a time of 15:07.89 and Al (Alf) Faulds clocked in at 15:51.80. In the 1500-metre event, Shamir Jamal ran an awesome race in 4:00.10, a littler shy of a sub-4, making this a personal best for this indoor season. Kevin Shields, in the same race cruised to a second

place finish, in 354.09, and Tom Sawyer, sauntered in at 4:06.54. In the 1000-metre event, Tim Collins and Steve Scott, clocked in at 2:36.57 and 2:38.19, respectively. The 600-metre race saw some speedy action in the form of Derek King, who ran a very good race, in a time of 1:24.86; Dale Lapham clocked in at 1:28.78, great strides for these young Warriors. In the 300metre race, John Denny clocked in at 37.00, half a second shy of his personal best, Scott Galathan clocked in at 37.35, and Paul Meikle, in his first 306 metre race, ran a very good time of 38.56. The 60-metre dash saw much

Current policy sets a minimum occupancy of 3 persons in a 3 bedroom unit and a maximum of 4; a minimum of 4 persons in a 4 bedroom unit and a maximum of 5. Maximum occupancy, will of course, reduce the per person per month rate significantly. For example, at $250 per bedroom per month, 4 persons sharing a 3 bedroom unit (e.g. two couples, each sharing a bedroom and using the third as a study) would come out with a per person rate of 187.50 per month, plus their share of utilities.
