Students to decide on CFS in Nov. by Andrew Saikali Imprint staff University of Wate~loostudents will head to the polls November 9 and 10 to decide whether UW should become a full member of the Canadian Federation of Students. The motion to hold a referendum in November, including assorted campaign regulations. was approved at the September 20 meeting of Waterloo's student council. Currently, the Federation of Students at UW holds prospective membership in the national organization. By agreement with the CFS, a full membership referendum must be held before March 31, 1988.The decision to hold the referendum in November prevents it from coinciding with the UW Federation of Students election in the winter term. Should students decide in favour of full membership in the CFS (and the CFS Service organization], a fee of $2 per student will be levied each 4-month term.
CFS Chairman Tony Macer0110 attended Sunday's students' council meeting and delivered his pitch for full membership. While he conceded that postsecondary education, falling under provincial jurisdiction as outlined in the Constitution, has a provincial voice at the Ontario Federation of Students fto which the UW ~ e d e r a t i o nof 'Students has full membership), Macerollo stressed that the federal government has direct and indirect involvement in higher education, and membership in a national student organization is an effective counterpart to membership in the OFS. Federal involvement, noted Macerollo, takes the form of "billions of dollars in transfer payments to the provincial government for operating universities." Macerollo also cited, as examples of the federal government's effect on students. the Federal Student Loans aspect of OSAP and Challenge '87, the federal summer employment program. Macerollo said that only with full membership in the CFS
could the UW Federation of Students have input in federallstudent issues. "If you're not a member, you don't have speaking rights, you can't vote," he stated. Input takes not merely the form of voting privileges, but also particip a t i o n in w o r k s h o p s a n d committees. "That's where you're going to be the most effective," said Macerollo. The CFS voting structure is, in itself, a contentious issue. Currently, each member organization holds one vote. Yet the CFS may introduce weighted voting, based on the population of individual member-organizations. This could be advantageous to the larger student organizations in the CFS, including Waterloo, should students here opt for CFS membership. The weighted-vot-
ing question will not be answered in time for the November 9 and 10 referendum. The contentious question of CFS involvement in what are deemed "non-educational" issues was also discussed by Macerollo at the UW students' council meeting. Policies on such issues have a five-year life span, and if not reintroduced by the end of the fifth year, they are dropped from CFS policy. University of Waterloo students will know, prior to the referendum, which policies are being retained, and which are being dropped. The Canadian Federation of Students was formed in May 1981 to replace the defunct National Union of Students. NUS, created in 1973, included UW among its members. Waterloo
did not join the new national organization, and it was not until June 1986, after a series of legal battles, that UW joined CFS as a prospective member. As prospective members. UW students have received the various services of the CFS Service organization, including TRAVEL CUTS and SWAP, the Student Work Abroad Program. Prospective member ornanizations receive full voting privileges but must decide within the two-year trial-period whether to obtain full membership. If after two years a successful referendum has not occurred, the student organization must wait two more years before re-applying for CFS membership. The campaign for the November 9 and 10 referendum begins at midnight. October 29.
tenants leave hotel and move to rooms by Mike O'Driscoll Imprint staff
.
Seventy-two UW students moved into their rooms at the Columbia Lake townhouses this week after spending three weeks at a Kitchener hotel. Construction delays at the university-run project forced the interim housing arrangements. Eighteen of the 100 units uncompleted at the beginning of term were officially ready for occupancy Thursday. Students were told earlier in the week they could leave the Walper Terrace Hotel and move into their new homes. UW administration had hoped the units would be ready by September 21, but the date was pushed back to the 24th due to further delays. According to Housing Director Ron Eydt many of the other problems faced by the development's first tenants have also been cleared up. Group mailboxes were installed last week, interior drywalling has been completed. and phone installations are being taken care of as the requests come in, he said. However, the final picture is still far from perfect. Tenants have been told they'll have to put their own locks on the individual mail boxes before any mail will be delivered. In addition, Eydt said it could be a long time before the super-mailboxes they were promised areinstalled. The director said that job is the responsibility of the Canada Post office in London, and added that he'd "be surprised if they'll arrive before the
While phones have been installed in some of the units, many of the tenants are still waiting. Lia Moretti, for example, said she's been given installation dates twice already, but no one has showed up. She speculated that the delay may have something to do with her refusal to pay the business phone rates that Bell Canada will be charging for phones installed in the new complex. , In reference to the billing issue, Federation of Students President Ted Carlton said a decision was expected by September 25, however no official ruling was available at press time. If Bell refuses to change its policy the tenants could be paying up to four times the normal charge for residential phone service. Laundry services are still on hold as well. Townhouse residents have been told to make use of the facilities in Village 2. Eydt said the complex should have its own laundry facilities in two weeks time. Also due for completion two weeks from now is thelandscaping. At present ground sodding and road paving has yet to get underway. Carlton said he's received several complaints about the muddy conditions around the buildings followinglast weekend's rainstorms. On a more positive note, however, Carlton said he's also heard some more upbeat comments from the new tenants. According to Carlton, not only are all of necessities now in place, but many of the students are more than happy with the building layout,
Members of the university's student societies, along with Dean of Students Ernie Lucy (left) and Federation of Students President Ted Carlton (right), took part Monday in a tree-planting ceremony outside Federation Hall to mark the closing of frosh activities.
Pieces of art stolen from UW gallery last Friday by Peter Dedes and Andrew Rehage Imprint staff Several pieces of art were reported stolen from the University of Waterloo art gallery September 18. The theft took place sometime between 2 p.m. and 6.45 p.m. Friday when it was discovered by gallery administrator Earl Stieler. The works were part of an exhibition by UW faculty and alumni entitled Developing a Theme which officially opened September 17 in the Modern Languages building. University security and the Waterloo Regional Police are investigating tbs cane. A t mess
time, no leads had been reported and there were no witnesses, although it is suspected more than one person was involved. The two mixed media works stolen were part of a display by artist Cindy McMenemy. Memories of a Vanished World is a canvas 30 inches by 25 inches plus two hinged boxes on the right side in a representation of a large piece of a wall. This work is a combination of McMenemy's earliest and latest endeavours. Small Ceremonies, on loan from a private collector, is a brown wood box 12 inches by 10 inches by 6 inches. This piece is hinged and opens to reveal a small section of wall. McMenemy placed the a t in the gallery herself

fastened each with woodscrews. Gallery administrator Stieler said he believes the theft will signal the end of the unsupervised gallery that has been part of the University of Waterloo since it's inception. The gallery has been placed under constant supervision since the theft was discovered. Although distraught, McMenemy said she is not seeking retribution, just the return of her work. "I implore whoever has them (art work) or has seen them and knows where they are, to encourage those responsible to put them in a safe place on campus and telephone their location to the Deuartment of Fine Arts."

Women ,forced to stay .pOoti: Rae by Mike O’Driscdl Imprint
tion was NDP-Liberal
staff
An economic system “designed to keep women poor” must be changed if there is to be equality in Ontario, provincial NDP leader Bob Rae said last week. Speaking at Wilfrid Laurier University September 17, Rae said the issue of pay equity for women is ,much more pressing than most people believe. The government has so far done little to address this problem, added Rae, who is now the leader of the opposition at Queen’s Park. Rae was guest speaker at Laurier’s annual Easton-McCarney Memorial Lecture. The New Democratic leader stuck for the most part to his party’s traditional stance on women’s issues, giving the 200 or so audience members exactly what it appeared they wanted to hear. Rae remained hard-lined on everything from pay equity to child-care and managed to convey the sense that his party is the only choice for women, or feminists of either gender. Rae began his speech with a philosophical/historical perspective on the equality of women. Following contrasting references to J.S.,.Mill and Tennyson, Rae outlined his own philosophy: “(Equality means] being treated the same in one main respect: tie are all people and the humanity of each of us is diminished if we are arbitrarily categorized and thereby denied thechance to participate equally in what life has to offer.” Rae said the current _system treats women unfairly and works to keep them disadvantaged. ,I . our income support system;: our pension system are designed to keep women poor.” At the forefront of theproblem is the isSue of pay equity, said Rae. There is now a wide differepce between the earnings tif rn6fl Qnd women that must be reversed. ‘ITThis is more than just a wage gap,” he said. “It is a chasm.” Rae cited statistics demonstrating the averabe full-time income of women ($18;934] is just 63 per cent of the average [$30,116) earned by men. Rae noted that only a portion of this discrepancy will be addressed by the government’s recent pay equity legislation, and he’s hol’ding his political OPPOnents responsible. “The legisla-
conceived Accord,
by‘ the but nur-
tured and delivered, alas, by a different alliance: the Liberals, Tories and the business community. The result is a law that is weaker than it needs to be: too many exceptions, too many delays.” Rae also drew attention to the current state of daycare services in the province, referring to the
In addition Rae made refer-. ence during the course of his speech to such controversial issues as welfare and pornography On the welfare front, Rae stated “the welfare system is as arbitrary, bureaucratic and unfair as it is in good measure because a majority of its recipients are women and seen as being dependent and powerless.” Rae whisked away the pornography issue in one direct state-
ing programs as well as changes in employer attitudes, Rae also pledged continued support for extended child-care services and parental leave, which he called a right of the child and the parent.

In a broader sense, Rae said “the commitment to equality, and to the values that commitment implies, must quite simply pervade everything that politicians and governments do.”

r
system as “hodge-podget’, and saying ultimately, it is “bad for kids and. bad for families.” At this point Rae stressed that his party is not, as has been publicly stated, anti-family. “There will be the same resistance to accessible affordable child-care as there ivas to extending public education in the 19th century. The same arguments about family and privacy will be trotted out - and they will miss the mark today as surely as they did a hundred years -_ ago.”
m!nt 2I “It is hard,to know exactly what a young boy, raised.,on a diet of Rambo and Penthouse magazines makes of the real world, but it is something we should ponder .” The NDP solution to this multitude of problems? Rae sgid hi’s new agenda for reform includes ‘+a commitment to a new kind of job-justice,’ not just for women, but for visible minorities, native people, and the disabled,” Rae suggested job-justice will be achieved through several routes including changes in education and train-

EMS move on schedule l$uilding delay . at project
pl@Ogr~sses: ,
A1 press time, the move was still on schedule, The library is expected to open with all the books on the shelves, Claxton said. That will surely relieve Gary Draper, head of Reference and Collections at the Arts library, who said servicing EMS users during the relocation has been inconvenient. Meanwhile the rest of, the
The Davis Centre has been plagued with construction problems practically since the sod was first turned in April 1985, Molinary said, Union halls in Kitchener-Waterloo ran out of workers, and some have come from as far as Vancouver to meet the demands. Supplies such as drywall have also been ‘slow in coming due to massive industrywide demand. Despite the problems, Molinary said building inspectors with the provincial government report the Davis Centre’s construction quality has remained high. The original opening date of, the Davis Centre was scheduled for September, 1986. Molinary said this date was unrealistic, as the architect wasn’t even chosen until October 1984. After the architect was .
chosen, meetings were held with departments’ scheduled to occupy the centre in order to decide on space requirements, and plans had to be. drawn up”and approved. The Davis Centre will be occupied by the Computer Research Institute, Electrical Engineering research, Systems Design+ >Mechanical Engineering and the Computer Science department along with the ‘EMS library. Though there are two 250 seat lecture theatres in the centre, most of the space will be occupied by offices and labs. Students taking the road from behind the Earth Sciences and Chemistry building will have noticed that it has been lowered by several feet. This levelling provided necessary clearance for fire vehicles under the overpasses into the Davis Centre, as
regulated by the Ontario government. Molinary said this construction had been planned -all along, and once resurfaced the road would be approximately 20 inches lower than it originally was. . The Davis Centre, with itsgalleria style of architecture, (often seen in shopping complexes) is unique to the campus, The green panes cf glass are solar, and the building is designed so that the concrete which heats up during the day will redistribute that heat throughout the building during the night. The public areas of the Davis Centre will be decorated in bright colours favored by the Winnipeg-based architectural design company Ikoy. The oblong offices (8 feet by 16 feet) will be painted in more subdued coltiurs,I

The EMS (Engineering, Mathematics and Science) Library has been closed since September 15 while moving from the ’ Math and Computer building to the Davis Centre. In order to facilitate the move, books are being packed into boxes at MC and slid down the chutg to the Davis Centre. Lois Claxton, co-ordinator of Information Services for the library facilities on campus, said that between 12,000 and 13,01X1 boxes of books will be moved before the library opens its doors on September 29. Each box holds one shelf of books, labelled so that they may be quickly reshelved upon arrival by the moving company hired for the job. In the meantime library users have been requesting EMS books through the the Arts library, which have taken 24 hours to retrieve. An EMS lir brarian has also been at the Arts library reference desk all week to help EMS users.
Davis Centre has been slowly. coming together. Labs and offices are expected to be movedinto starting the end of November. Each department is handling moving to the Davis Centre independently, so no exact moving dates have been set. As to the complaints on campus that the Davis Centre is over budget and behind schedule, Rudy Molinary of Plant Operations maintains that the university is getting “excellent value for their dollar.” Increased costs and_delays have been caused for the most part by the boom in the construction industry. Molinary said that the Davis Centre constru@ion costs are approximately $94 per square foot. He compared this price to construction costs at Federation Hall, completed in December 1984, which cost about $88 per square ,foot. The University of Toronto, which is constructing a new Earth Sciences building, is currently paying more than $100 per square foot, Molinary added.

Personally yours? ,. ’ what’s the point of companion ads? Occasionally when browsing through a newspaper I turn to the “Companions” section in the classified. No, I’m not looking for a new relationship. I’m intrigued by them; who is it that answers these ads? I guess it’s the language that makes me keep reading them Just -what does “considered attractive” mean? That your mother thinks you’re cute? The majority of peopIe advertising seem to be either “slim and attractive” or seeking someone who is, Or perhaps they’re *‘absolutely stunning and gorgeous.” Seeing as -the Concise dictionary defines “stun”, among other meanings+ as “reduce to insensibility or stupor”, 1 hope these women won’t end up injuring anyone, being the absolute in this regard. I also wonder at the ads in which “two guys seek two girls.” Did these guys decide to save a buck by advertising together; or do they just do everything together? WilI they argue about which guy gets which girl? Are you required to apply as a twosome or do singles qualify? Or how about one where a man wanted a “relationship with view toward possible union.” Now I know he probably meant I “marriage”, but equally the union could be philosophical, social’ sexual, spiritual, sexual, metaphysical . . . Do people really answer ads that advertise for a companion for a “month-long holiday to west coast in late-model motorhome . . . leaving immediately.” I guess you could get a free vacation’out of it (monetarily) and the man does promise you it will be “First class all the way, we’ll have a ball.” Maybe some day I’ll be assigned to one of those undercover stories where I pose as a “slim, attractive, 5’S’ hazel-eyed lonely brunette”‘seeking a male who shares all my qualiti.es in order to see who answers those ads. Until then I guess I’ll remain curious . . . Flew Macqueem

The popularity-of taking a Tslide-ride Jerry Falwell did it for an ailing ministry, Kitchener Mayor Dom Cardillo did for the charity of his choice, UW PreiDoug Wright can do it too. Thousands of the devout were duly impressed when the rotund reverend sent himself hurtling down the waterslide at his Florida ministry’s theme park, For Jer-buddy it was a last ditch effort to save his fat white pulpit and it worked. And when Kitchener Mayor Cardillo, aka the Italian Stallion, drenched his checkered tablecloth on the slide-ride at Bingeman Park the electorate roared and sent in their pennies.

Well, this then, is an official call for Dr. Douglas Wright, that boppin’ madman that knows no limits to agood time with jello and gerbils, to stand tall, or duck low, and tackle the book slide between the math and corn uter building and the new Davis’ Centre.

self-defense is the
‘excuse for the attack. The excuse has worn somewhat thin having been used in Vietnam, Korea and Nicaragua to name a few, but the average American accepts it without question. This isn’t surprising given the kind of propaganda that country. feeds its citizens via its extensive media. Ronald Reagan denounced Iran as a terrorist nation (and later was found to have been supplying it with arms). Margaret Thatcher (for shame, Maggie) suggested Western nations should “go for the people who are causing the trouble in the first place.” -Neither Thatcher nor Reagan have any understanding
whatsoever of the history of the Middle East. Their actions and statements illuminate their ignorance. Reagan can send the entire US, army to the Persian Gulf and it will not solve the millennia-old fighting in that part of the world. One could argue that his only intention is to protect US, and U.S. ally economic interests, but to say to Iran and Iraq: “You fight all you like, but keep us out of it and don’t disrupt our economic interests in this’ area” is pathetically simolistic. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, the Americans have * never been too interested in un-

Townhouse woes: students at project still “roughing it’! To the editor, Re: The Columbia Lake Townhousea (Residents go without many services as project delayed - Imprint, Sept. 18). “If you arrive as of September I, you will be ‘roughing it’.” You’re damn right. It is now September 20 and I am still on a camping trip. My first letter home went something like this: “Dear Mom,and Dad, can I come home now?” When I first cast anchor in this mud-infested haven three weeks ago I thought to myself “it could be worse” . . , the time that has since, passed has proven me right. Let me start by listing a few
inconveniences: giving my “new” house a thorough scrubdown before it could be considered livable; missing and disassembled furniture; cupboard doors falling off when opened; hot water - cold, cold water - hot; ventilation in washroom - there isn’t any; no cable TV; no phone service; no sidewalks, no grass (lots of mud); no street lights: no laundry facilities; no mail service. And now the straw that broke ‘the student’s back: the past weekend I spent urinating on what will soon be my backyard. Why? Because my somewhat virgin toilet is blocked within its deepest digestive bowels. But I am not alone; 3 of my neighbours
joined me in this misery and now I fear that all of this confusion and frustration has given me the runs (probably the best thing that has happened to me.80 far). All problems aside, the university has received the rent money for the first four months from every resident as of September 1. Considering everything was paid for and considering the residents haven’t as yet received what they paid for, why doesn’t the university consider giving some of that rent money back to conipensate for those more than, once a day headaches. “Dear University of Waterloo, sorry if really is your fault.” + Domenic

To the editor, I was upset but not surprised by the universit,y’s recent decision to ban skateboards from the campus. As a skater, I’ve been banned from many places in the last. 12 years. I guess I just thought it couldn’t hitppen here. I’ve tried to accept this decl* sion but it isn’t easy. I just can’t see it being that big an issue. I’ve only seen a few skaters on campus since I started here in 1980 and, believe me, I’ve been looking. The season is very short [five months at best] and most of that time is in the summer when the campus is mostly empty. The asphalt is not very smooth (compared to the incredible terrain at the University Plaza) so I can’t see people skating here for the fun of it. It just happens to be the ,quickest way to get to class. I’m not usually one to corn-, plain. I’ve tolerated underfundT.A. pay ing, overcrowding,
cuts, and professor inaccessibility. I’ve paid expensive ~0-6~ fees after finding my own jobs and non-refundable computer fees after buying. my own micro. I’ve even put up with the ridicu: lous locker rules in the PAC, but this is the last straw. I- will , not stop skating on campus. * If you skate, use common sense and be safe. Yield right of way to pedestrians and try not to make any enemies, but don’t stop skating just because they .said so, It’s time to take a stand. As for the university administration, I ask you to revise your rules. Please consider changing the ban on boards to .a rule against reckless skateboarding. The results will be the same for the non-skater: a safer campus. The differehce will be the preservation of the rights of safe skaters, something that we as educated Canadians should not ignore.

Over one of the entrances to the dance floor at Komads, a gay [men’s) bar in Toronto there is lettering that reads something to the effect of “Gays and Lesbians Together”. At the entrance to the bar, I and a friend of mine are hassled by the doormen. I say I am going to see a friend who works es a waiter in the cafe part of the club. Both my friend and I are well dressed. They do not want to let US in. In the past I have gone in to see this same friend - I was only required to leave a deposit with the door man equal to the cover charge, which I would receive back upon leaving within five or 10 minutes. This particular night, there is no line-up, and the bar is not overly full. Why are we given such a hard time? (Incidentally, the dress code for women at this bar is either along dress, long skirt, or dress pants - no running shoes, no jeans, no tank tops. Male customers can wear whatever they like.) The reason that my friend was given such treatment was that she was a woman. She fit their dress code perfectly, and there was no good reason why they should not have let us in, especially when we still had to leave a*$10 deposit. I have been to Ches Moi, a gay (women’s) bar in Toronto, I have always gone with a female friend. I have, every time I have been there, felt the hostility from t he women at the door to my presence. It is ihe same type of hostility that the men at the door of I&wads display. Why? Because I am a man. Not because I am poorly dressed, or unwilling to pay to get in, When AIDS initially surfaced in the gay men’s community, the reaction of mariy ga women was, “Why-should we help them they’re the ones wit i the disease; and they are men.” Many gay men,thtit I know have the attitude that they would not do anything to help their female counterparts, in their struggle.for liberation and equality. “What. do< they ever do- for us? Besides, they’re women.” If this were not so serious, it would be laughable. But it is’ serious. And in some ways, it is very tragic. We, as gay women (I do not like and rarely use the term “lesbian”] and men, have for so long experienced at times the worst of discrimination and human cruelty, and have rarely been accepted as equals-in society. We, most c&all, should know what it feels like to be discriminated against - to not be allowed to work some’where because of our sexual orientation, to not be allowed into certain places, to be ghettoized+ to live with persecution and violence, and fear. -But what do so many of us do when the tables are turned and we have the chance to change that? We do the very same thing - we discriminate on the basis of gender, and of orientation, When I go to restaurants in Toronto, I am served better by many of the male waiters than female friends with whom I may be dining. Why? Because I am male, and gay, and so is the waiter. I know of .Qne gay waiter that refused to serve anyone in the cafe in which he worked unless they were white, male, and gay. Fortunately, at this university, I have not experienced what I have just been describing.,1 am glad to say that, for the most part, the gay community on this campus is pretty good in that res ect. But I think that we need tu do3 more. We need. to start teP ling everyone .else - sot just ip the gay comq@ty, but,everyone - to shape up. Thire are very few of us’ that have nbt experienced discrimination of one iort or an‘other in auf lives. And if we know what it is like, then we should be able to say, “I didp’t like it when it happened to me, so I’m not goindtodo%t tb anyone else.“To take the attitude, “Do it to them before they do it to you”, or, “Just give it right back to them” is, I think, incredibly immature atid anti-productive to everything that we purport to be working for. In the autobiographical play The Normal Heart,. written by Larry Kramer, one of the characters, Mickey, says, “. . . and we would show the w.orld bow wonderful heau&n.could be. We would lead theway. We tiouldbegoodforsomething.“AlthoughMickey and I.are talking about two different things, I also believe that we, the gay community, can show the world how wonderful equality fo.r all can be.

The Good, the Bad and the Gullible by Robert Day Imprint staff Gather round now, boys and girls, and listen to a story about how two precocious jroung lads, Steve Shaw and Mike Edwards, ivith help from an older and wiser friend, taught some of the foremost researchers in parapsychology a lesson they won’t soqn forget. The older and wiser friend was none other than magician/debunker extrao’rdinaire James Randi, and this is the story of. . . Project Alpha. For many years, researchers of the unknown ‘forces have regularly been claiming stunning successes by gifted subjects in the laboratory while, just as regularly, skeptics have dismissed these results due to gaping’holes in the protocols and security used in these tests, in most cases with good reason. What seems to have escaped the researchers up to this time is a very simple logical deduction - if their subjects ar%e not genuine psychics, then they must be cheating; therefore, they must be prevented from cheating. Nothing could be simpler, more logical or, from all indications, more incomprehensible for many of these people, who seem to believe that adequate security for an alleged spoon-bender involves placing him in an electromagnetically-shielded Farada cage and blocking out cosmic rays, while total I y ignoring whether he steals the spoon when no one is looking and steps on it. When all rationalization fails, there is one final argument - the psychic researchers simply do not have adequate funding to implement these protocdls. As a group, these people are notorimsly under-funded [at least in their opinion), but till this changed when, in 1979, James McDonnell of McDonnell-Douglas Aircraft awarded a $500,000 grant to Washington Univecsity in St. Louis’ for the establishment of >he:IvIcDonnell Lab #far’ Psychical Research. Finslly, a chsn& for the psyc-bits to redeem them.sblverq, &&an opportunity for fames Randi to test one of his personal theories - t-hat a wellfunded sucker is. still a su&cer. Randi recruited both Shaw,and Edwards, oniy 17 and 14 years old at the time but already magicians of some note, ‘and pointed them off in the direction of St. Louis and the McDonnell lab, then under the direction of Peter Phillips. What Shaw and Edwards found was an organization who were completely incapable of conducting a valid test and who violated every known protocol of- psychic experimentation, grant or no grant: At times, various props were strewn around the room, allowing both boys to wander from one object to the next and, in the resulting confusion, claim a success when any of the props turned, up “paranormally” altered. Items werenotpermanently identified, allowing the boys to substitute their own props and switch tags. Many props were not locked up overnight, and the boys simply pocketed them to deal with in the privacy of their hotel room later,If there was any hint of security tighteningup, both Shaw and Edwards would simply lift a page from the technique book of the now-discredited Israeli psychic Uri Geller and throw temper tantrums until the.lab staff buckled under. And just how did the Alpha boys pull off some
of their stunts? With agood deal of ingenuity and chutzpah. In one instance, the boys were given small, sealed plastic boxes with prop6 inside they were to affect ‘paranormally, and told that the boxes coufd be taken home. A small fuse inside one of the boxes was blown by pushing two pins through the plastic to the ends of the fuse, and connecting the pins to a car battery. On another ‘occasion, Shaw produced a “paychic” photograph in a camera by simply spitting on the camera lens before the picture was taken. On more than one occasion, both boys were able to get into the securely-locked lab after hours by unlocking a window before they left. (The reader may, by this time, wonder just what does constitute an acceptable protocol. One such prot-ocol, devised by Randi to test the paranormal abilities of spoon benders, involves permanently identifying a spoon using engraving, then agreeing that a successful bend involves bending the spoon as if someone had pressed into the bowl. A aimple layer of soot from a burning candle inside the bowl to record an pressure whatsoever, tind what we have ia un Ii reakable security. And this is the type of test the psi researchers would have us believe cannot be done for less than half a million. These people obviously buy their spoons andcandles.from the Americati department of defence.) The most outrageous example of lack of security undoubtedly related to one of the conditions Randi had set up prior to the start of project Alpha. If, at any time, either of the boys was asked point-blank whether he was cheating, he was to respond, “Yes, and I was sent here by James Randf:” Neither were ever asked, even * after Randi had leaked hints of Project Alpha at a convention in Pittsburgh, rumors of which reached the McDonneil lab less than two weeks later. . Probably the most ingenious trick pulled by either of the project boys occurred when they. were being tested by psi believer Prof, Otto Schmidt of the U. of Minnesota: In Randi’s words, “Schmitt had supplied them with a few tiny, digit al watches - the type.that areperman?~ ently sealed. He’d asked them to alter them>paranormally. Mike sneaked one out of the lab and, while having ltinch in a self-service restaurant’ during a noon break in the tests, he placed it inside his sandwich and stuck it in the microwave oven. As expected, the watch went crazy,. Professor Schmitt considered this to be a wonderful example of psychic force and marveled over it to the press.” But the best was yet- to dome. When Randi finally decided to pull the plug on the project after four years and go public, the air was filled with howls of outrage and, anguish. One researcher, Berthold Schwarz, demonstrating a total misunderstanding of just about everything, declared, “Randi has set parapsychology back 100 years,” while psi devotee Walter Uphoff stunned listeners by stating that Steve and Mike really had psychic powers all along but were not -admitting it .pow; then heightened the confusion by asking a stunned reporter, “How do these kids know they’re fakes?” Very simply+ Walter. Just ask them, It doesn’t even cost half a million bucks. .

His strong opinions are gathered from his s
On September 12, The Globe and Mail printed an article with the headline, “U.S. lists AECL among nuclear-weapons researchers”. The U.S. Commerce Department produces a list of places which are capable of doing research on or producing IIUclear weapons, and Ametiican companies are only allowed to sell to listed companies with a special license. The Canadian government insists that Atomic Energy of Canada Limited does not do weapons research, but is only interested in using nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. Accordin to the story, “Anti-‘rmclear groups have argued AECL coul d use its peaceful technology for more lethal purposes if so directed.” True. And irrelevant. Many of the arguments of the anti-nuclear groups centre around the concept that all nuclear technology is bad because weapons can be made from it. The interesting thing about nuclear technology, and all technology, is that it is just a tool. It is not inherently good or evil. The qualities of good and evil are human concepts, the results of ethical values. Good and evil are determines by how we choose to use the tool. It is true that AECL could do weapons research if it chose, but it does not. Nobody protests against Canadian Tire for selling gardening tools, because they are not weapons. But if you think about it, a shovel makes a pretty fine weapon, and has in fact been used as such many times. Just about anything you can think of can be used as a weapon if we choose-to do so. This does not imply that nuclear weapons are smart things to have lying around. They’re not. They are just about the dumbest things we’ve ever made, and I would feel much more comfortable if we chopped them all up for kindling, so to speak. I am an electrical engineer. I have the knowledge necessary to do all kinds of nasty things; from designing missile guidance systems to making satellite systems to drop bombs on anybody I choose. But I am not going to u&e it for that. The very same knowledge can be used to make stereos and better medical machines to save and improve lives. The most importint thing to keekin mind about technology is that it doesn’t have a built-in ethical code that lets it be used only for good and evil. You decide.

funding sources with a firm identity. The centre embraces three of the half-dozen research units dubbed “centre’s of expertise” by the federal department of energy, mines, and resources. According to Roger Downer, a biochemistry professor involved with the Natural Products Research Institute, senate approval for his team will open up a number of opportunities. As with the solar centre, the institute will simply make use of available resources and will be financially self-sufficient. However, Downer says a successful future for the institute may mean as many as IO additional research staff, dozens of support staff, and possibly even a new building to house the project. He called that kind of growth “the realization of (his) wildest dreams”. The NPRI will search for new ways to synthesize natural resources used in the production of medicines and agricultural agents in an attempt to avoid the mass exploitation of such delicate regions as the Brazilian rain forests, Downer called the institute “a chance for Canada to assume a lead role in addressing a problem that is of major global importance,”
“Candles in hand, we will trek through campus and downtown Waterloo. We will carry signs and chant slogans. We want everyone to know why we are there.” With this statement, the University of Waterloo Women’s Centre announced plans for a “take back the night” march scheduled for tonight at 8 p.m. The march is a protest of the indifference of local administrators. According to the Women’s Centre, the community is not safe at night: “Vast stretch-es of dark ark land, poorly-lit side-streets, and completely unlit enclaves in 1 uildings abound on campus and around the tit y.” Males and females will take part in the march. Wendy Rinella, Federation of Student’s Women’s Commissioner, estimated a turnout of approximately 50 participants. Marchers can gather in the Campus Centre at 8 p.m. The walk begins at 8:30.

l
Gemutlichkeit; meaning friendship and camaraderie, is the atmosphere during Oktoberfest, the nine-day. festival which runs from October 9 to 17. Across Kitchener-Waterloo, 21 “festhallen” will be rocking to. the beat of polkas and reverberating to the theme song, ,Ein Prosit. Ein Prosit is to be sung loudly, while you swing your beer mug back and forth. If you don’t know the words, don’t worry, you’ll learn them quickly
and besides, no one will be able to hear you sing them. On campus, Fed Hall will be participating in the Oktoberfest spirit with iis own scaled-down version. Staff will don their dirndl and lederhosen and food and beverage will reflect the Oktoberfest theme. Fed Hall goers can be assured of at least one polka per night. .At the Waterloo Inn, the Ret students will be host to Little Oktoberfest, Of the 21 fes,thalis in operation this year, university nights will be heJd at faux of them: October 14 .a”t Altes Muenchen Haus

This festival (the biggest+ best Bavarian festival in all of North America!) attracts about a half a million visitors and brings approximately $7 million into the community.. Activities are not limited to the festhalls. You might want to catch some events like the official Oktoberfest opening where the first keg is ” ceremonies tapped, the Oktoberfest Thanksgiving Day parade or a number of other events such as a class “A” tennis tournament, a gdf -tournament, a men’s -and women’s, bodybuilding championship, a great puzzle exhibit here at UW, 4 pub games exhibit, a beauty pageant, a nomination for Woman of the Year, and more. Much of the money raised during Oktoberfest is put right back info the community. For exam-8 ple, the Kitchener-Waterloo Kinsmen and Kiwanis Clubs which operate Karlsberghaus (Kitchener Auditorium) .use their proceeds to support two area hospitals, the Sunbeam Home, and their work with the mentally handicapped. For 19 years this festival has meant a celebration in the Bavarian style. If you haven’t experienced Oktoberfest yet, this year is your chance to get your friends together and participate in the events which appeal to you. Oktoberfest will keep you coming back for more every year.

World vegeterian daya A look at the reasons behind the philosophy More and more people today arc turning to a vegetarian lifestyle, but what is vegetarianism .and why do these individuals choose this way of life? People adopt a vegetarian diet for a number of reasons. Three of the mainarguments are based on nutrition, ecology, or ethics. These arguments are:’ - A vegetarian diet is healthier than a meat-oriented diet. - A vegetarian diet is more efficient in its uses of natural resources such as land, water and energy. - A vegetarian diet does not require the suffering and death of innocent animals. All of these reasons for being vegetarian contain important truths that require intelligent discussion. What
is a vegetarian?
A vegetarian is one who lives primaray on a plant food diet and who abstains from all meat, fish or fowl: no vegetarian eats any food that requires the death of or injury to an animal, Some vegetarians consume dairy products and eggs; others abstain from all animal food and rely entirely on plant foods. The kinds of vegetarians usually distinguished are the “lactoovo-vegetarians”, who eat dairy products arid eggs in addition to plant foods; the “total or pure vegetarians”, who eat plant foods but no animal foods and the “ve ans”, who abstain from animal Bood and animal products of any kind. The lacto-,ovo-vegetarians are by far the largest group in the western world. It is estimated that over one million Canadians are vegetarians. A few of the health benefits of vegetarianiem .
.
The Journal of the American Medical Association estimates a _ vegetarian diet can prevent 90 per cent of heart disease, simply because vegetarians eliminate the saturated fats found in meat. Given that 40 per cent of North Americans are overweight, 1984 U.S. statistics show that the average vegetarian is 20 pounds lighter than the average American. This is not to say there are not other factors involved, nor that if you become a vegetarian that you will lose 20 pounds, but vegetarian foods do tend to be lower in calories. Vegetarians have a 50 per cent reduced occurrence of kidney problems, as nitrogenous compounds characteristic to meat require the kidneys to do three times more work to filter out these toxins than the toxins found in plants. A study at Harvard found the average blood pressure of vegetarian subjects to be 10 to 15 per cent lower than a comparable group of non-vegetarians, High amounts of certain fats in animal flesh, such as cholesterol, will not efficiently break down in our bodies, and tend to line the walls of blood vessels causing high blood pressure, strokes and heart attacks.’ Vegetarians avoid various drugs, pesticides, dyes, and antibiotics fed to livestock. These chemicals accumulate in meat over the lifetime of the animel. This accumulation makes for. a much larger concentration of chemicals than is found in plants - up to 20 times the amount; it is hard to escape the Certain1 chemica I 8 found in foods today, and in-small dosages, they may’
not be harmful. No long-term effects’have been concluded with regard to these chemicals, as they have mainly not been used long enough. Often the trial and error procedure for observing ef,fects is employed. Lastly, it has been shown that high-fiber diets, low in fats and protein, high in carbohydrates, especially cellulose found in most plant matter, can significantly reduce the amount of time foods spend in the digestive tract, and thus will .decrease incidence of colon cancer and cancer of the digestive organs as well’as avoiding constipation.

At the misusing which
more food than
present time we are valuable crop-land could be utilized much efficiently by providing directly to people rather as feed for animals.
Imagine yourself setting down to an eight-ounce steak. Then imagine the room filled with 45 to 50 people with empty bowls in front of them. For the “feed cost” of,your steak, each of their bowls could be filled with a full cup of cooked cereal grains. Today about four-fifths of the world’s agricultural land is used for feeding animals leaving only one-fifth for feeding man directly. Over-grazing and excessive ploughing have caused the rapid erosion of soil. In the U.S. &alone, the annual net loss of crop-land topsoil is about 2.5 billion tons, equivalent to losing four million acres of crop-land which had four inches of ‘topsoil. The convers,ion of forest to grazing land poses another threat to the environment through decreasing oxygen production as well as soil erosion. Plant foods are more economical than animal foods. Calorie for calorie, it takes 11 t’imes as much energy to produce meat and other fat ty.foods as it does to produce grains and other carbohydrate rich foods. Plant foods such as soya beans, yield about 10 times as much protein per acre as meat does. A cow must be fed 21 pounds of protein to produce one pound of protein for human consumption. In a single year 18 million tons of protein are made inaccessible to humans. This is equjvalent t690 per cent of the annual world protein deficit. It would provide 12 grams of usable protein per day for every person in the world. One other point to consider is that many acres of land are currently producing luxury “cash crops” such as: coffee, tribacco, tea, carnations, etc. Land that grows money uan’t produce food. In other words if government legislation would recognize land use priorities and if they would provide incentives for farmers to shift to the,production of more food for global consumption there would be more than enough edibles to solve the world’s hunger crisis many times over, “There is simply not enough to go around” - hardly the case!

It is a fact that vegetarians kill plants to survive. Every living entity lives off another. The point is to understand what is our quota and stick to those types of food. This causes the least amount ,of suffering. It is also a’ fact that a vegetarian eats less plants in his lifet’ime than a meat eater does, because the animal which the meat eater has for’ dinner consumed thousands of pounds of plants in order to reach its slaughtered state, Summary The truth is that flesh foods are not required in the human ‘rdiet, nor are they essential for proper nutrition.

Bewitchhg by Walter Ghan Imprint staff Do you remember believing in True Love and High Adventure? When‘ Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Errol Flynn filled the high seas with swashbuckling romance and the clash of steel, defendihg the honour of princesses, vanquishing villains, and performing all sorts of derring-do, all before the start of the second reel? Or have you out-grown that silly nonsense? After all, adventures don’t come along every day and as for true love and beautiful heroines waiting to be rescued and all that sexist stuff, the less said the better, right? Well, a standing-room-only Festival of Festivals crowd could hard1 disagree more strongly at t h e world premiere last Friday (September 18)’ of Rob Reiner’s new film, The Princess Bride. After queuing for hours outside the Ryerson Theatre in Toronto on a cold and drizzly nigh& the audience cheered when Reiner (Spinal Tap, Stand By Me) himself appeared on stage with the stars of the movie and its producer/screenwriter Norman Leaf to introduce their work. An hour and some 40 minutes later, the same ,audience erupted in applause again as the credits rolled up the screen. What head happened in between?’ Why, True Love and High Adventure, of course. And Fencing, Fighting, A Few Giants, Some Swell Escapes and Captures, Death, Lies, Truth, Miracles, and a Little Sex. In short, everything. You have The Most Beautiful Girl In The World, you see, and her name is Buttercup (an enchanting Robin Wright). She’s in love .with the dashing Westley (the impossibly-handsome Cary Elwes), and vice versa, but they are separated and she becomes engaged instead to the unsavory Prince Humperdinck, played with panache by Chris Sarandon. But before the wedding,
Granny answers their knock in her dressing gown; she is afraid that Ken and Helen have had an accident. The police demand to see the account books, and start ransacking the house in their search. In the process one officer picks up Granny’s box of precious photos and dumps out the treasurers, This is too much for the old lady, who throws herself sobbing onto the floor to retrieve them. At this point Helen and Ken ret urn. Not having found the account books, the police’ attempt to handcuff Ken when he isn’t immediately co-operative. They don’t, however, succeed, and Ken darts out of the house shouting that he will lead them to the books, The lights gp out to the echo 6f Helen’s cry f& help. Intermission - perfect timing. The drama of the pre&ous minutes had been highly impressive, and I’could hardly wait for the second act. I cannot say that I was disappoinfed; the final scene-s were well,performed.

But the kidnappers are headed for the unscalable Cliffs of Insanity, and there is no conceivable way the Man In Black can catch them F;i;;; they kill Buttercup-or is And that’s r just the first ‘15 minutes. From there, The Princess Bride sets off on a rollercoaster ride of thrills and excitement, into a world where good triumphs andavil gets fts just desserts,, with plenty of laughs and pratfalls along the way. But director Reiner makes sure that the tongue-in-cheek capers only heighten the real narrative: there are duels to fight, giants to out-wrestle, fire swamps to cross and miracles to buy, all leading up to the climactic storming of the evil prince’s cas tie, Throughout, Reiner manages to strike just the right comic tone without jeopardizing the gentiine heroics. The ensemble cast (including Peter Falk, Billy Crystal, Mandy Patinkin, Peter Cook, and Andre the Giant) romps through the movie, asking the viewer to shrug aside world-wise cynicism for a while and simply relish the moments, both sublime and ridiculous, they provide. The translation of William Goldman’s much-loved novel to the screen has b,een admirable: some scenes are sadly missing and the wordplay is not quite as sharp, but the gorgeous fairy-tale sets and the broad visual comedy more than make up for the aficionado’s disappointment. At the end, as Mark Knopfler’s lyrical soundt rat k us hered. the opening-night crowd into the lobby, giddy smiles and shining eyes were everywhere. Whether you sit back and laugh right along with it, or allow yourself to be caught up in its spell, The Princess Bride will leave you a warm glow to replay over and over. Happily ever after has never been so much fun.

Tav .FaIco and Panther

Odd sounds empty Hall _ by Peter Lawson Imprint staff He came, he played, and he left little impact on the audience at Fed Hall. Who, you may ask? I Tav Falco and his Panther Burns rolled into Fed Hall on Sept ember 16 and played his version of Memphis music. The show was well attended, but many patrons left during the hour-long set. The fault for this imbalance is two fold - the cro.wd and the band. Tav’s sound is not frantic, but a rather
subtle
form
of distortion
of the classic-Memphis sounds of rockabilly, blues, and R’n’B. The humour has a soft edge, and the show has an element of lounge parody. This humour was lost on a young audience who doesn’t understand the origins of the original music. Falco and Panther Burns became disen-
chanted with an audience which was too young to know - a regrett able reaction. Those in the audience at Fed Hall were less than receptive to a music which they would likely cheer if being played by their heros David Wilcox or Stevie Ray Vaughn. A tune like She’s A Witch would be a big hit with the zanies of New York - but almost zeio impact at “the” Hall. Panther Burns hit .on tunes from their latest album the world we knew such as Mona Lisa. Also they covered classics like Train Kept A Rollin’(8 tune sent to rock ‘n’ roll heaven by Johnny Burnette Rock ‘n’ Roll Trio) but with their own swampy version. Currently on a short Canadian tour (ie. Ontario and Quebec), Panther Burns will see a warmer reception in Toronto and Montreal. They have a fanatical fol-
lowing in Europe, whichjustifies their album’s release on France’s New Rose label. Soon for Tav Falco and the Panther, a box set of three 45s will be reissued on the Neti Rose label. Also of special interest (for rockabilly crazies) is the imminent release of a Charlie Feathers’ new release on Frenzy/N&w Rose. Charlie was one of the Memphis dukes of rockabilly on the Sun Records label (Sun was the label which origin’ally produced Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Roy Orbison). Charlie Feathers’s classic tune One Hand Loose was recorded by the Stray Cats and the Bop Cats, Next time Tav Falco rolls your way, go see him. He will possibly screen his latest short film starin Shade -Tree Mechanic, the Panther Burns and the He1(i Cats (more Memphis cats).

Saturday night found me in attendance for the second night of the Kitchener-Waterloo second annual Jazzfest. The stage was set for 8:30 when the Aaron Davis Band and guest keyboardist John Laing commenced their set. The band’s music either washed over or mesmerized the audience. On the second song, August Niter, thexylophone and flute combined to produce a sleepy, floating feeling. Much of Aaron Davis’ music was new and a few songs were premiered, namely a song entitled Northerner, which sounded like the theme for a-scary movie. An exciting troupe by the name of Raphael Limas and the Sounds of Brazil Amazonic succeeded Aaron Davis. The word
“sounds” best characterizes this nontraditional approach to music. The band consisted of a crafty, flamingo-poised Raphael Limas on guitar and vocals. His rapidly versed Portuguese lyrics gave a focus to the rest of the band’s melange of sounds, 1 On drums a grinning, dark-complexioned Davy Crocket kept the beat constant. The gaunt, si;holarly looking bassist wandered the stage with bass pointing upward. A wild man took contrbl of the congas and various percussion instruments. The two-person brass section stood apart from the band, their music added to the workings of the other members, The ballroom had reached its fullest capacity for the night and evekyone seemed most receptive to this new type of music.
The Solar System Saxophone Quartet - Nit Gotham, ErnieTollerJonnie Bakaq, and Paul Cram - opened the jazz festival on Friday night, September 18. For more than a hundred patrons upstairs at the Heuther Hotel, this quartet pushed out modern Baroque jazz. Also in this neighbourhood, the Princess Theatre screened several jazz films, including ‘Round photo by Peter Stathopohm Midnight.
Line One was the third performer of the night as the J‘azzfest organizer, Dale Marcel, got a chance to strut his stuff. Thb selections were traditional and slqwer,Tpqced compared to the preceding and following bands. Despite solos in the final song. such Fun, the music was not inspirational. The final band of the night was Toronto underground jazz group Whitenoise. Led by shaker and mover Bill Grove, a cross between- Joe Jackson and David Byrne, the band’s power surged at the audience. On guitar was a preppy figure with characteris,tics of Bryan Ferry and Judd Nelson. He seemed more involved with his own music than the group%.
The drummer, whose idol must have been Animal of Muppet Show fame, punished his *urns SO violently-that a time-out was called while he hammered the base drum- to the stage. A roadie spent the rest of the set scurrying around adjusting the various symbols, mikes, and drums. The music portrayed an uptight, spirited, raw blefid of chords that the band urged people to dance to. Bill rationalized that “when you dance, we’re dancing to you”. Many people did in fact get up and flail about. The music stretched on to 2 in the morning and was characterized by rapid set changes.
As the second man into the evening’s fray, Stan Samole wooed the audience at the Heuther Hotel with his light touch., He combines smooth playing techniques with electronic delay systems. Tha.digitaI delay techniques builds a band of rhythmic and harmonic motifs behind Stan’s solos. His set highlighted easy to listen to music which did nbt insult the intelligence - a tune like Eleanor Rigby is an example. Following Stan Samole, the Eric St&h Free Music Unit jabbed forth an aggressive form of jazzvery free, and challenging to grasp. This quartet included Eric Stach on saxs, Kevin Hogg on electric bass, and Kim Lundberg on piano and these guys pushed the music into the early morning hours.

Exhibition stadium i’n the. Pink by John Hymers Imprint staff
Raphael Limas strums the rhythm which. drives his group Raphael Limas and the Sounds Of Brazil Amazonic. The Saturday night crowd at Bingeman Park had a toe-tapping, body-wiggling time to the*“best” latin band in Toronto. Raphael leads the band with his rhythmic dialect of Porteguese, Brazilian Indian, and jazz scat. Also included on Saturday night were the Aaron Davis Band, Line One, and Whitenoise. Whitenoise, driven by the I wildness of Bill Grove, moved the audience to dance. Sunday was the conclusion the K-W Jazzfest 87 with Sensation Jazz Band, Contraband, Forth Inversion, l-lolly Cole, and Pat LaBar1 bera. Though the crowd was thin the music was hefty. The Contraband (local cats playing big band music) were a surprise - plenty of energy and swing. As no surprise, Pat LaBarbera and friends were consistent in their quality music. The final photo by Petur Lawron word is wait until next year.
Pink Floyd (David Gilmour,. Nick Mason, Richard Wright, et al) asked the near sellout Monday night crowd at Toronto’s Exhi,bition Stadium to take a momentary lapse of reason with them.

by Tim Perlich Imprint staff When Vincent Van Gogh died at a mental institution in Auv&s during the summer. of 1890 he was unknown and penniless, having sold only one painting of a bddy of about 1;800 finished works he had produced during his decade-long painting career. The fact that the one he did sell was bought. by his brother Theo belied even that meager accomplishment. Paul Cox’s latest film, Vincent - The Life and Death of Vincent Van Gogh offers a personal view of the artist as told in his own words. The film takes the shape
of a documentary with John H&t reading Vincent’s letters written to brother Theo over a combjnation of stills of his work and appropriate landscapes.. Although we are never allowed to see the main character, the insight into the artist’s nature from his writing is remarkably comprehensive and shows him to be a far more deep and. complex individual than the obsessive lunatic he has come to be known historically. Despite the serious lack of dramatic action the result is absorbing and informative. A pleasant homage to one of the greatast artists ever to have lived. ’

Here we have another offbeat, unassuming, little gem from that sub-genre heralding the Joel and Ethan Coen (Blood Simple, Raising Arizona) ethos that normalcy is stranger than fiction. Like the more recent Raising Arizona, Uforia is a satirically deadpan look at the American Southwest, and how downright bizarre an acceptably normal state of affairs in Middle America can be. Yeah, yeah, Cindy Williams (she of Laverne & Shirley infamy) is the star, but her role as a God-fearin’, right-livin supermarket cashier who religiously reads Weekly World News and believes every word (see what I mean by the weirdness of normalcy - cheap tabloids sell a lot of copies in the Bible Belt) is carried off believably and with a certain naive, ditzy charm. Fred Ward, a fairly decent actor who manages to keep cropping up in some fairly embarrassing fare like Time Rider and Secret Admirer, rears his head again a& the token drifter/lust interest who swaggers into every cheap, onehorse-town movie ever made, throws the confused, smitten heroine onto the mattress, and then saunters out of town at dawn, leaving behind a trail of broken hearts. And then there’s Harry Dean Stanton (Repo Man, Paris, 7’,exas), an old-style shyster who uses circus-tent revival meetings and fire-and-brimstone theatrics to scare up some dough from the local sinners and also to cover up his stolen car dealings. all has the makings of a pretty ,raqk piece of low-budget movie-making, but you haven’t even heard the plot ryet. It seems that Williams has these odd dreams about UFOs and becomes convinced, with the prodding of the opportunistic, ne’er-do-well Ward and Stanton’s nose for a good scam, that flying saucers are going to land on earth to rescue the chosen few from some Armageddon or som& hing. Stanton then parades her around his route, proclaiming her to be a new messiah, a messenger of God. And she believes it. Lots of people believe it. Respectable, middle-class tax-.payers Ronald Reagan would be proud to call Americans. If the whole premise of Uforia, not to mention the look of the film, the characters, and the events of it, conjures up images of godawful ‘50’s B-movies, it’s because it views the Middle America of the Southwest as a cheap B-movie. The performances of Williams and her coworkers are played with a tongue-in-cheek campiness while slimier types like Stanton exude a droll;acid humour that really should make you hate them. And don’t worry, there is a high degree of sophistication and wit to the script, drawing-an implicit link between religion

Bjarfly reveals festering underbelly ~of,urba,n life s * by Tim Imprint
Perlich. staff
“Henry and Wanda are immersed in an effort to escape the embalmed method of living which grips most of American society:?he fearful desire to continue to exist at any cost, their lives or anybody else%. They seek release from the standard and stifling confines of most lives about them, lives that seem to exist in the purest of hells: the mortgage payments, the car payments, al1 the payments, the 9 to 5, the Monday to Friday, the hirings and the firings, the continuing awfulness of most people’s common existence. Henry and Wanda refuse to accept the living death of acquiescence. This film is ‘a focus on their brave madness.” -
Charles
Bukovirski
Barfly is the second cinematic adaptation of a Charles Bukowski literary work a& the first in which he wrote the screenplay and retained full artistic control. Although the 66year-old Bukowski is considered a writer of rare genius throughout Europe (the most widelyread living American writer in translation in the world today with sales in excess of 2.2 million copies of his work in Germany alone], his voluminous . work remains virtually unknown to people in his American homeland. Like much of Bukowski’s work, Barfly deals with the grimy underside of’ contemporary urban life as seen through the eyes of writer Henry Chi‘naski played by Mickey Roiirke.

Their is a certain refinement to her step and her clothing which immediately lets you know that Wanda hasn’t been in bars. all of her, life. About the wardrobe, director Barbet Schroeder says: “The motto of the film was “don’t exaggerate” which was valid for the costumes as well, Wha’t we did was we went into Salvation Armv shons and tried to find d&es th& were bbviously the
dresses of women who had money and had ended up in the Salvation Army store. The whole woman who was-coming from, a wealthy background, that had s fallen. She still kept her ‘nice clothes from the past but they were a little used.” The “don’t exaggerate” motto of Schroeder’s clearly extended right through to the sets and the way in which the scenes were shot. For this, credit must be given to the film’s Director of Photography, Robby Muller. Very likely one of the two greatest living cinematographers (the other being Sven Nykvist), Muller, whose most recent credits include Jarmusch’s Down By Law and Wenders’ Puris, Texas, uses wide angles and long, sweeping takes shot from eye level to give the viewer the impression of being just another bar regular. In order to achieve the correct visual feel, since most of the action takes place inside the bar, the lighting is crucial. As Schroeder explains: “To do it, Muller had to design a special neon lighting, a light that was so incredibly dim. . . it was so unbelievable to walk on that set, you could barely see at all, yet, as it appeared later on the screen, you could see. When we were working, we were taking a lot of risks. Robby’s motto for the film was “no risk, no futurt+“. Exceptional photography paired with ‘realistic sets and a surprisingly cool soundtrack dominated by the instro-grittiness of Hip-Hugger period Booker T+ & the MG’s gives the film a distinctly un-Hollywoodish appearance.

Can’t bu v this IOve story{ by John Zacheriah Imprint staff Diane Kury’s new A Man in LoLe is supposed to be a passionate, raging love story, but is doomed to mediocrity by its one dimensional execution. A movie within a movie, it tells the story of ‘Steve Elliot (Peter Coyote), passionate American actor, who travels to Italy to film the life story of a suicidal Italian diarist. His leading lady is Jane (Greta Sacchi who, aside from Helen Mirren, is probably the best looking woman in the cinema) with whom he falls passionately in love, much to the chagrin of his bitchy but devoted wife (Jamie Lee Curtis). The lovers hop be-
tween Rome and Paris; in the meantime, Jane contends with-a dying mother, and Steve, with a dying picture. His passionate affair is jeopardizing tis passionate, raging project. The hardest thing to swallow in A Man in Love is why a together, intelligent lady like Jane would fall head over heels, hopelessly in love with a pompous moron like Steve. Perhaps Kury’s meant to cast light on Coyote’s character, or not, but the vanity of his decision to make the film, and the ensuing pretentiousness of his performance in the fictional movie elicit laughter and derision. Mind you, Coyote does a great
0 job portraying Elliot, putting his all into every spoiled outburst and brooding-glartce. Even better is Sacchi, who portrays Jane with grace, sensitivny and style; like Mel Gibson, she is one of. those rare performers who.combine stunning good looks with genuine talent (she mak& The Coca-Cola Kid). e But good performances can’t mask the central flaw of A Man in Love. Elliot is vain, not terribly sensitive, and bloated to a great size by his own self-importance. Jane is almost a polar opposite, and it is Kury’s failure to explain why two such people would come together which makes A Man in Love a definite non-treat,

as-well known as someone like Billy Bragg, has always been a complete mystery to me. At worst, their music is’tasteful and palatable, but at their best, they are a sighing, beautiful pop ecstasy. As for the lyrical content, the literati among pop observers could hardly ask for a better pair of songwriters than.Robert Forster and Grant McLennan, a couple of Aussies who write of the psychology and politics of relationships in the sharpest and most poignant metaphoric and
imagistic terms outside of Elvis Costello and Richard Thompson. This fallen, imperfect world being what it is, though, Go-Betweens, are about as popular in Canada as advanced intestinal flu. Their last album, Liberty Belle And The Black Diamond Express, an extraordinarily lush, melodic, and literate album,, was even released here and did exactly nothing. Don’t feel too bad, though, cuz there’&’ a new Go-Betweens album out in Canada that even seems to be getting some PR push and a tour that will bring them to Fed Hall this Wednesday [Sept. 301, so you needn’t deprive . them of your money and yourself of their music any longer. Tallulah may not be quite the album -Liberty Belie or 1984’s Spring Hill Fair ‘were, but it’s still a worthwhile introduction to a truly great band. The ginglea Right Here and Cut It Out, admittedly pretty fluffy stuff by Go-Betweens standards, recall Prefab Sprout, although Forster and McL&nan are consummate tunesmiths, writing gorgeous guitar hooks and embellishing seductive tunes with the cello, oboe, and various other orchestral instruments played with a delicate sense of pop dynamics by new member Amanda Brown.

Paid Iu Full Eric B, and Rakim 4th and Broadway (Import)
by Paul Done Imprint staff . Paid In Full, the debut iP from Eric B. and Rakim, is possibly the best rap album of this year, the year of the rapper ‘according to the Chinese Calendar. Eric B.‘s total mastery of the digital sampling technology is nearly unparalleled - not just in the field of hip-hop. His partner on the mike, Rakim, has a unique groove-wise approach to rapping owing more to reggae toasting than high-speed hip-hopism. Likewise, the tracks Eric B. fashions manage to carve out a niche just to the left of the atomic beats of LL Cool J and MC Shan, instead opting for a more laid
R,E.M. attribute of making tle political statements.
Document R.E.M. I.R.S. . byDonKudo’ Imprint staff
’
Prior to the release of Docufirst single from the album, T)te One I Love, was receiving attentive air-play. My first impression about this R.E.M. No. 5 (excluding the Chronic Town EP) was of a R.E.M. soon to be selling-out football stadiums across the continent with a heavy rock ‘n’ roll roar, Despite the immediate appeal of The One I Love, Stipe’ vocals being as strong as ever and the down and dirty rhythm driven by Peter Buck’s gutsy guitar, it appeared that R.E.M. was doomed to follow the same path of other “cool” bands to AM radio slaughterdom. Upon picking up the album, the first tune Finest Worksong did little to appease my enraged disappointment. The siren-like guitar intro cast visions of a DJ -from R.O.C.K. radio introducing the band (“Ladies and gentlemen, the hottest band in the land, R...E..,M!) in the middle of a dry ice smoke covered stage -with tens of thousands of adoring fans less their $30 for shitty seats, thrusting Bit lighters into the air. Gone the mystique, the secretive R.E.M. music forever. * It’s taken a few listens now, htit this new R.E.M. Document is. still the same great old R.E.M.. St ipe’s singing ia mixed louder than on previous efforts and his magical vocal presence is the focus of most of the material. His voice though ‘Is not as dominating a factor as displayed by the Edgeless Bono-show of the Jushua Tree, since Document kicks with a rock ‘n’ roll Buck. R.E.M. No. 5 is similar to R.E.M. No. 3, Fables of the Reconrtruction with songs like Fireplace and Oddfellows Locttl ISI, yet there’s a greater sense of fun and game? to the new platter. Strange [a Wire cover), the Life is a Rock (but the radio rolled it? - found on 70's K-tel camps everywhere) party rant of It’s The End Of The World 4s We and Exhuming Know It, McCarthy are all playful ditties. Exhuming McC~lrthy with its surf twang intermissions also features the horns of Los Lobos’ dude Steve Berlin. The song catches the cleverness of Stipe’s writing. His idea of bringing back General McCarthy from the dead , to see how he would prosper in this day of Reaganspawned conservatism, prominentlv exhibits the admirable
merit, the
back feel which still retains the rawness which lies at the core of great hip-hop. Both of Eric B.‘s singles to date appear on the LP, last year’s Eric &&a pr&.$ent which stands as the ultimate “wopping” song and the second single I Know You Got Soul - single of the year so far. I Know You Cot Soul is currently in litigation as James Brown and Bobby Byrd are suing Eric B. for the liberal use of sampies and bits of Bobby Byrd’s original 1971 song of the same name (a reissue of which is reviewed elsewhere in this paper). The new songs on the LP maintain the high quality set by thetwo singles, notably I Ain’t No Joke, the title track - Paid in Full and As The Rhyme Goes On which continues iap’s current trend of self-reflexive songs about rapping. Eric B. also makes a couple of exctirsions into rap-less hip-hop like Chinese Arithmetic in which he scratches sounds which ob-
Listening to Document finely lends ‘itself to both in-depth interpretations and good ol’ rock ‘n’ roll amusement. The album is .multi-purposed and yet singularly coined by the only band who could create such._ a great mixture. .

The strength of Stipe’e’ lyrical iprowess is further captured. on the most “R.E,M, sounding” tunes, Welcome To The Occupation and Disturbance At The Heron House, and also during the marching snare serenade of King Of Birds. -Though seemingly an obvious statement about the U.S. of A.‘s interference in the affairs of another country, .WeIcome To The Occupat ion could eaiily be a statement about America itself as it could be about Central America. Disturbance At The Heron House is a song that creates a scene of inviting all the world’s freaks and derelicts to an antiestablishment free for all at some place called Heron House -We gathered up the cages / The cages and courageous / The followers of chaos / Out of control. Stipe’s capability to pen visual lyrics which allow listeners to concoct their own images about his words is continued during King Of Birds where a park is the setting for a bird’s sad view Standing on the shoulder’s of . giants - of the state of mankind.
viously fit a B-Boy’s idea of a “Chinese” sound. The instrumental stuff is pretty extraneous, though. 1987 has been the year in which hip-hop has established itself as the most innovative, vibrant current musical genre. Hip-hop DJs are exploring and pushing the limits of the way that electronic sampling technology is used. Eric 8. is one of the dj’s who is actively pushing at the limits and Paid In Fuil stands as more evidence of rap’s supremacy.

Love’s the thing in Much Ado Abmt Nothing by Beverly Billingsley Special to Imprint If you and a special date are tired of flipping through TV and movie listings in search of something fun and exciting, why not consider the live energy of Stratford theatre? The season’s just about over but seats are still available. And if you’re intimidated by 16th century metaphor, don’t be. You needn’t know anything about Shakespeare or even like him to enjoy Stratford’s production of Much Ado About Nothing. As a comedy, Much Ado has that mixture where intrigue
abounds, deceit flourishes, and love triumphs. And once you get the two sets of lovers straight (Benedick and Beatrice, Claudio and Hero), it is easy to follow. Basically the play is about the romance that blossoms between two couples with the help of Prince Don Pedro [Edward Atienza), and tension comes in the form of his bastard brother’s efforts to thwart the romance between Claudia and Hero. Richard Monette as Benedick hams it up as he romps through the play. He has the ability of making the audience ally themselves with him right from the start. And he keeps them with

The elegant set of -slate floor, large windows and lush greenery, and ‘Edwardian costumes combine well with Monette’s overt enthusiasm, providing a refreshing facelift for the comedy. ! William Hutt had great fun with his role as Leonato, especially in the secret conversation scene as he, Claudio and Don Pedro set the first deceit into motion. Tandy Cronyn as Beatrice served perfectly as Benedick’s foil by keeping the romantic tension between the two of them jumping. The major flaw in this production comes in the foppish form of Don John, who plays a villain without malice, His dialogue should have been augmented by a malevolence he did not show. So if you and that special date are rather bored, why not head over to Stratford? If you go, you can do as we did, and make an evening of it. There’s the gift shop to peruse, yoti can have a glass of wine half an hour before the performance starts+ and watch the horn players herald the play’s impending start. Of course after the play, you %an head back to the Thames (parking around Stratford’s river is free, if you can find a spot), which is quite pretty and in summer full of swans, and talk about the play, or about the weather, or whatever. Then again, if you’re the type to waste such a romantic scenario on discussions about the weather, or whatever, well , . maybe you would I s rather __ stay at home with the television. l

Laurier clea.ns1 up at Shinerama . lay Mike McGraw Imprint st eff The optimism and confidence of Monday became the humiliation of Saturday. In fact, the WLU Hawks’ 43-0 decimation of Waterloo Warriors in the Shinerama Bowl September 19 left UW fans wondering if a football victory is just a utopian dream. The autumn monsoon in which the debacle took place had no ill effects on the Hawks. Powered by QB Rod Philip and fullback Luc Gerristen, they carved up the UW defence for 595 yards on a field reduced to quagmire. Their principle weapon was the big play. Touchdown strikes of 20,65 and 106yards by Philip, and TD romps of 35 and 68 yards from Gerristen were more than enough to drub the Warriors. The . defensive problem stemmed from a blatant inability to finish off tackles. Both of Gerristen’s first half TDs started out
as harmless short gainers’ until he shook numerousiackles to hit pay-dirt. The other first half mdjor was a 26-yard strike from Philip to Ken Evraire. The UW defence provided an adequate buffer zone for Evraire to make the catch, WLU led 21-O at the half. The UW defence flexed its muscles late in the opening half, denying the Hawks on a goalline stand at their own I. Yet the second half was just three plays old when receiver Joe Nastasiuk transformed a short pass into a 65yard TD gallop. Once again, a trail of potential tacklers were left in his path. Minutes later, in a horrifyingly similar play, Evraire went 106 yards while hoards of black shirts pursued him, but failed again to make a decisive tackle. ’ Although a sadistic z-point conversion attempt failed, UW conceded a safety when Nick Swirski decided to spare himself the agony of another punt
, return. Coach Bob M&lop agreed that the big play was UW’s downfall, :‘We’ve been stressing stopping the big play from the outset, but instead of improving it, we’re getting worse.” He added that WLU chalked up 340 of their yards on just seven plays. “We have some serious defensive system flaws. We’re too sporadic on defense, we . need consistency.” He also noted that the team would be working on their tackling, more specifically being prepared fort ackles rather than lunging at the last moment. WLU rounded out the slaughter when reserve QB Mike Pett hit Rob Tallis with a-short lob that turned into a z&yard major. Tallis was hassled but not tackled by four separate defenders.. UW’s own -sloth-like offense seemed to have a misguided game-plan. The only strategy which emerged was QB Mike

-The rumour that the University of Waterloo has brought the! Kentucky Derby champion to improve the wat&polo team is not true. A reliable source close to the team reports .that waterpolo resembles team handball more than polo. Horses have no, place in the game. Waterpolo is played in a swimming pool with a yellow rubber ball about the size and weight of a soccer ball. Each team fields six players and a goalie. The object of the game is to put the ball in the i-metre by 2-metre net. Any player can score from anywhere in the pool as long as he doesn’t use a clenched fist or touch the ball with two hands simultaneously. It is legal to lob, throw, shoot kick, swim, head or tip the ball into the net or even bounce it off a defender. Waterpolo ia a very pliysical
game; occasionally ’ dirty but rarely violent. Unlike other sports, anyone taking a swing at an, opponent or even trying to, is ‘immediately thrown out of the game and his team must play short-handed for the remainder of the game [perhaps the NHL. should look at this). Needless to say, you won’t hear the phrase “I went to a boxing match and a waterpolo .gatne broke out”. On a more serious note, this year’s team has a high proportion of rookies. The team has lost six of last yeafs seven starters, three to graduation and three to work-terms. The team is led by third-year players Jeff Slater and Keith Cushnie, second-year player Michael Cash and fourthyear players Thomas Meyer and Lyndon Brown. The balance of the players are all rookies, beginning with Mike Hoehn, Ted
Loucks, Joe Milia, Norbert Moinar, John Montgomery, Daniel Shipp, Jim Steinback and Dan Stratton. As the team heads into its first games Saturday at the York Early Bird Tournament, head coach Dave Heinbuch and his assistant Shane Rollans express guarded optimism. “Despite the team’s inexperience, we have several promising rookies and are looking to improve as the season progresses, Our game against the defending league champions Ottawa will-give a good indication of where the team stands.” With all this said, if there is still anyone out there on campus who can swim and shoot, the coaches would like to hear from you. Next practice is Monday at 6:15 p.m. at the pool+
Waterloo’s ‘rugby Warriors put up an encouraging and spirited performance September 18, against the defending Ontario University Athletic Association champs from Queen’s only to lose ‘24-6.
Almost the entire Queen’s learn from last Season is back, yet the Warriors were up on them 6-3 just before the half. The bigger and more experienced Queen’s players were continually surprised and frustrated at the tenacious pressure and effort put forth by a very young Warriors t earn.
For the first effort of the year by an almost entirely new team it was ‘very encouraging. With continued development Waterloo could prove to be a competitive side. *Flanker Blair Falconer demonstrated his usual gutsy performance aa ha popped up regularly all over the field. University of British Columbia transfer Adam Kendall showed that he too will be an important addition to this year’s .squad. Veteran Peter Keir scoped a penalty kick, as did Kendall, to give Waterloo its only points in the gaine. xI

Soccer Warriors win one, adrop two * by Tim Walker Imprint staff . Waterloo% soccer Warriors ‘secured their first home win in three years last week, defeating the Brock Badgers 1-O. The Warriors came out like gangbusters after the opening whistle and completely dominated the first half. Waterloo opened the scoring around the * 13th minute. The Brock goalie attempted to dribble ihe ball around Warrior star Steve New. After dispossessing the foolish keeper, New passed the ball to Warrior star Carlos Burmeister. Burmeister easily slipped the I ball into the empty net. In the second half the Warriors were thwarted by the Brock keeper several times, As the half progressed, the Badgers gained control of the game, Fortunately, the Warrior fullbacks were equal to the challenge and did not allow Brock a single scoring chance. The soccer team is eagerly looking forward to the return match in Brock where a two-point result is expected.

W’hy can.‘t we win? by Mike McGraw Sporte Editor October 13, 1984 is a landmark date in University of Waterloc sports history. It marks the last time the woeful football Warriors registered a victory, The harrowing results- since then speak for themselves - C wins against 18 losses. And it’s not as if these have been nail-biting affairs decided by last minute field goals. The Warriors have been outscored 742-139 during this period, That’s an- average score of Opponents 41, Warriors 8. Despite such figures, optimism has been the consistent attitude of Warrior head coach Bob McKillop. But three years of optimism have failed to provide what starving UW football fans have hungered for - a victory, Blow-outs like Saturday’s 43-0 thrashing at the hands of Laurier have become all too common of Warrior football. Week after week it’s taken for granted around OUAA circles that the Warriors will lose once again. As a result, it seem8 as if our definition of progress has drbpped considerably around Waterloo,. For example, a 28-14 loss to .U of T two weeks ago was looked upon as a mild success, and provided fuel for McKillop’s positivethinking claims. But let’s look at it retrospectively. At any other institution a ~14-point loss would be seen as a blowout, Why then tihould we become excited every time the Warrior offence crosses the mid-field stripe? It would be easy to be optimistic if there were legitimate signs of improvement. But the bottom line in any sport is victory. We can speak until exhaustion about silver linin s amid clouds of duoml but they bear little clout when almost t a ree years have,paseed without a win. ueations to the WaterThe time has come to ose some critical loo football program. T R e bott.om line is wa y can’t we win? How can one organization sustain such a record of futility for: 80 long, with apparently no end in sight? What can be done to reverse this crash course to oblivion? The athletic department, media end students alike must set optimism aside and seek some answers. If the program needs a role model for improvement they need nof look any further than the hockey Warriors, who in one season pulled themselves from obacurit to become a force in the OUAA. It’8 lu B icrous for the UW football program to expect the faithful fans who diligently attend every game to endure the humiliation of another winless season.

For whom the bell tolls by Refton Blair Imprint staff
In his first start against the University of Toronto Blues, Bell completed 15 of zz passes for 85 yards and a touchdown. While outplaying the more experienced Rick Moors of the Blues, Had it not been for a lack of consistent pla by the Warriors’ receivers, Be1 r ‘s debut would have been a victorious one. Bell’s play however did not go on noticed as everyone - cloaches and players alike - were aware of his composure and physical abilities, A graduate of LO-ELLEN high school in Sudbury, Jeff attended Queen’s for one year before deciding on optometry as his career goal. At, Queen’s Jeff was the starting punter and a third-string defensive back. He started only one game at defensive back. His shift to*Waterloo was based solely on his academic inclination toward optometry. Though
When Jeff Bell, a shy, softspoken science student, transferred from Queen’s to Waterloo last year his intent was to follow in his father’s footsteps and pursue a career in optometry. Though his acceptance& the optometry faculty is impending, Bell has found himself at the center of a rejuvenation of sorts concerning the Warrior football program. He is currently on the verge of becoming the Warriors’ starting quarterback, along with already being their punter. At six feet and 185 pounds, Jeff is not the most immense football player nor does his size bear proof to the versatility of this very able football player.
Pond masters The players and coaching staff are anxiously awaiting *the beginning of training camp on September 21. The players will participate in a one-hour dryland training program each day to be followed by two scrimmage ga’mes nightly. The Warriors are hoping to build on the success of last year. Several excellent newcomers will be challenging the 18 returnees for a position on the team. The coaching staff is looking forward to a very competitive camp. Following the initial week of camp the Warriors hold their Black and Gold game on September 29 at s p.m, Exhibition games are scheduled for October 1 against Ryerson and on Oc-
the academic end of his transfer has not been completely successful, the football side may soon start bearing some fruit both for Jeff and for the Warrior footbali team. Bell is arguably Waterloo’s most versatile player. He sees himself as a better slotback and defensive back than he is & quarterback. However, as determined by the coaching staff at the end of camp, Jeff was the second -string quarterback and starting unter. He still likes to remind t rl e coachini staff of his slotback abilities. But, being the team player he is, he accepts the coaching decision and has gone about doing what is deemed best for the team. His replacement of starting quarterback Mike Wright in the second half of the game against Toronto was in no wav intimidating. This confidenceWwas visible from the stands as Bell moved the Warrior offence the way Wright was unable to, Bell has been playing fobtball since Grade 7 and spends his summer holidays playing summer league football in Sudbury. He describe the competition as just a pace below the OUAA’s, as most of the players, are present and former CiAU representatives. It is during the summer that Jeff hones his football skills and improves his versatility, His play at slotback and defensive back have been describe as impressive.

Both t&ts will be held at the Columbia Ice Fields starting at 730.’ As an aside, the Fourth Annual Bauer Hockey tournament will bti held on October 10 and October 11 at the Columbia Ice Fields. Laurier, Laurentian, York and Waterloo will all compete in the weekend-long L event. The tournament should prove to be highly charged as much improved Laurentian will be looking for some wins ftillowing a rebuilding year last year. Laurier is returning with a strong nucleus of players --and should prove tough aga@st defending Ontario University Athletic Association champions. and national finalists York.
The experience of the summer league has made Jeff a very significant addition to the Warrior football program. And much of their success this season will de. pend on his abilities as both a punter and as a quarterback.
