William Faufkner once was asked by an interviewer why so many of his characters ‘were “mentally deformed and crippled, congenitally or by environment,” and why nearly all his characters, except the very young and very old [and the Negrcmammy Dilsey), were just plain unlikable. He replied that he was drawing from life, and in life, he said, most people between puberty and menopause were driven by sex or consumed by greed. ’ It’s the same with profs. At both ends of the ‘spectrum - the rookies [including TAs) and the soon-to-retire (including profs emeritus) - you find profs who are willing to interact with the student, instead of deliver canned talks and administer tests. In between+ for the most part, you get stodgy old guys who are worried about their tenure or their marriage, or still trying to make a name for themselves by spending all day in the stacks, or by getting their diss’ertation published, or who are hoping to get ahead the slow way by sitting on umpteen. committees. . A prof’s promotion Y from assistant to associate to full professorship - depends on three things: research (which means publishing articles); service (which Jneans committee work); and teaching, which in these day? of tight budgets usually gets short shrift. Only the oldsters and youngsters are sufficiently freed from the publish-or-perish syndrome to. concentrate on teaching. They seem to like it! Dr. Kooistra, for example, who teaches Dutch and Greek. He knows his subjects well enough to take them for granted and to delight in the stu-dents he teaches, Or Dr. Evans, who draws large crowds for his Personality and Religion courses. Students have told me his courses changed their lives, or the direction their lives were then taking. Both Evans and Kooistra ‘are slated for retirement. Among the rookies there are Pauline Greenhill [folklore), Judy Segal (English), Neil Randall (Can, lit.). Though struggling toward tenure, they’re giving teaching their best shot.

Week x vincial university associations. Kenneth L. Ozmon, president of Saint Mary’s University, is cochair of the program’s organizing committee. Public interest in higher education and related research is already growing, according to Ozmon, and this interest could be translated into political action. “Universities have done their best to keep up with increased demand . . . with inadequate funds,” he says. Events and activities at Waterloo will appear in next week’s issue,

m Profs l

But what does that mean? Don’t all professors profess, all teachers teach? Yes and no, To concentrate ofl teaching is to interact with the student, to enter into a mutual learning relationship in which the product is less important than the process. It’s like having a religious experience as opposed to just going to church. The two are not mutually exclusive, but you know when you’ve had the,experience, whereas you can have a perfect attendance at church (or in class) and never be sure. I .have only named a few I wes sure of, among rookies and oldsters, based on my private poll. And what that tells, more than anything else, is +the bias of the pollster. There are exceptions to Fadkner’s Rule T middle-aged full professors who are .not only good teachers, but excellent, communicators (according to the students I’ve talked to). There’s Narveson in Philosophy, Slethaug in English, Abel in Drama, McMullin in Can. Studies. And these are just the departments I know of; no doubt there are more. One curious exception to the rule,is the high percentage of good profs to be found at St. Jerome’s I don’t kno.w why it is, maybe it’s their religion, but even the middle-aged profs at St. Jerome’s behave like.rookios and teach like pldfs emeritus. To name hut two: Eric McCormack and 1 , 1 I Stan Fogel. A’longer list could be compiled of the dull, the dogmatic, the stodgy. But who wantsto hear it? Some of fthese antediluvians should be put out to. *pasture before their retirement - as Bercuson and, Granatst ein recommend in their book: The Great, BraIn Robbery: Canada’s Univerritieq& the Road to Ruin [McClelland % Stewar+,%84). The reason Canada’s universities are on- the road to ruin, say Bercuson and Granatstein, is not underfunding bu,t an obsolete tenure system which keeps incompetents on the payroll long after they have lost interest in teaching.

UW on track with fourth-decade

i’

by Andrew Soikali Imprint staff , One of the University of Waterloo’s primary responsibilities is to teach students to become “professional learners”. This was the message delivered by Robin Banks in his new capacity as acting vice-president (ecademic) at Tuesday’s board of governors’ meeting. ’ Banks’ comments accompanied a report from senate’s longrange planning committee; he presented the planning for the’ fourth decade report to the board of governors for approval. The report is divided into two sections - an explanation of the mission and goals of the university, and the proposed vision for the next decade. Among the 12 mission statements, the report includes continued commitment

to providing co-operative education, development of computing and communications technologies, and co-operation with firms and government. The “vision” states that “Wa-’ terloo is a unique university where a community, of scholars engages in teaching and learning within a flexible and responsive organization which values people as its greatest asset and uses its resources effectively to achieve its goal.” Realization of this vision will be challenged as the university “grapples with the allocation of its scarce resources,” the report continues, The board of governors approved the report and UW President Doug Wright asserted that *,the university is already acting on the fourth. decade objectives.”

The board also approved the audited financial statements for the university as of April 30, 1987. Some highlights: 77 per cent of ordinary operating income for 1986/87 (or $96.4 million) ‘came from grants, and 66 per cent ($80.6 million) of operating expense was derived -from instruction and research, Undergraduate and graduate tuition totalled $21.2 miibon; up $1.8 million from last year. Computer

Seven centres are in the works. The centres are, in effect, research networks within the Ontario university system, UW will be taking a major role in five of the seven research networks: information technology, materials research, integrated manufacturing, space and terrestrial research, and groundwater research. Laser research

and telecommunications research will be handled by other universities. Proposed funding for the tentres of excellence totals $40 million. The government hopes the research networks will strengthen co-operative. efforts between universities in Ontario, and bet ween the universities and the industrial sector.

Christine Schmidt, of UW’s &dent awards office, said her department receives notifications from the MCU whenever a student is convicted of providing false information on a loan application, for interest’s sake and as a possible deterrent for other students.

Paul Schuler, 37, was sent- enced to a nine-month jail term, His wife, Lena, 34, will have to perform 100 hours of community service during a two-year probation period. ’

UW prof

. continued

from page 1

The general direction inherent in the accord has Woolstencroft’s su port: it merely “adds on to w R at happened in the past”, he said. In particular, the senate and supreme court would be more federal in nature (ie. provincial interests would be represented in the central government) which up to now was glaringly lacking in our federal system. Before Meech Lake, the Canadian government was national in character but not federal. Whitestone answered that the “senate is not m&ant to be a provincial body”. Rather, the senate is part of the federal structure and should not be appointed through the provinces which the accord provides for. A “federal body should be federal”, said Whites tone. The Constitutional Amendment of 1987 imposes some limits on the spending power of.the central government. Woolstencroft defended these limits .as “livable” because our system has “two levels ‘of authority”. The power represents a s ending K to provincial jurisdict reat tions. Whiteatone, however, said the limits on federal spending powers, which include the provincial right to opt out with compensation, mean few national programs will exist in the ,future. The provinces could impede the 3ntroduction of a national childcare program, and a national industrial strategy, among other useful national initiatives of the’ federal government. The “patchwork” nature of fu-

ture federal programs, Whitestone said, would lead to a loss of national identity. Certainly, Meech Lake would increase the “inequalities of opportunity’+ within Canada, he said. A contentious article in the accord deals with the need for unanimity to make future amendments to the Constitution. Woolstencroft said he does not favour such a rigid amending formula, but understands the feaaoning that lead to the unanimity clause. Balancing Quebec’s ‘need to feel secure within Confederation with the equality of other provinces seems to be central to his argument here, he added. Woolstencroft noted, though, that the accord “freezes the image of Canada forevermore” and thus lacks wisdom since the “way we see ourselves doesn’t mean we’ll see ourselves that way in the future”. Whitestone agreed on this point. However, while Woolstencrbft argued that the “context of the Constitutional process” made unanimity inevitable. Whitestone found no reason to agree. Whiteatnne said the accord allows any province to veto change, and precludes senate reform or the creation of new provinces. All’ changes toward a “more progressive future” end with the’accord. Provinces might blackmail the central government into giving up some of its powers, l while making the reverse impossible, said Whitestone. As such this agreement represents a “shift of power to the provinces” that might lead to the dissolution of Canada. ,

- University of Waterloo graduates have donated more than $1 million to the alumni campaign for Waterloo, launched last spring. “We are elated with these early resplts,” says Dan Beaupre, director of development and alumni services, “not only because of the funds contributed but alsb because alumni support is critical when we approach those ‘outside’ the university. “Many external donors look to the commitment of those directly involved as a measure, of the importance of Waterloo’s development,” he says. “We are also impressed with the fact that over 50 per cent of our donors are alumni who haven’t previously contributed to UWI” The alumni appeal objective is $3,1 million by 1990. Donations are used to enhance courses, develop new programs, replace outdated equipment, set up new. scholarships and for other projects within each faculty and college. One phase of the campaign involves a mail-and-telephonecall program which provides 35 students with part-time employ-. ment each term. involves

alumni volunteers across Canada who will personally visit more. than ‘2,000 alumni asking for contributions. Waterloo is the first university in Canada to design and administer a full-scale alumni campaign completely “in house.”

Liberals shelve beer What ever happened to the provincial government’s promise to make beer available for sale in convenience stores? When the Liberals were in a minority position, they said the plan would not meet with NDP approval and would, therefore, not pass through the legislature. Now, with an overwheimitig majority at Queen’s Park, the Liberals have said nothing of the issue, one that was an important part of their 1985 election platform. Could it be that what was politically expedient then is now a political headache. Probably. Despite having elected a Liberal government, the people of Ontario atill have a large conservative streak running through them. While the more progressive elements of our society have called for a relaxation of Ontario’s antiquated liquor laws, the government has undoubtedly run across considerable opposition to their 1985 plans (not least of all from the union-run Brewers’ Retail). The existence of such knee-jerk reactionaries - those simply opposed- to change of any kind - shouldn’t, however, stop the government from making improvements to the way beer, wine and spirits a’re distributed. In Quebec, for instance, you can buy beer and wine every day of the week at convenience andgrocery stores. You can also bring your own wine to some restaurants. Liquor stores there offer more convenient hours and services (such as samples), although Ontarioliquor stores are moving in that direction. Treated like responsible adults, people in Quebec have traditionally been more responsible about theconsumption of alcohol. Quebec has fewer alcohol-related problems (such as drinking and driving] per capita than Ontario. Yet there are still those in this province who would have you believe any changes would lead to widespread alcoholism, druhken brawls on every corner, and more alcoholrelated accidents. Common sense, however, tells us that such would nbt be the’case. Sure there are going to be those that abuse alcohol, but the responsible adults in Ontario would view it as an increased convenience.’ Beer in the corner stores is hardly the most pressing political issue, yet it would be a welcomed’service for the people of this province. And it would add to the Peterson government’s credibility, showing they stick to their promises. Steve Kannon

Raining on our parade Not content with the American government’s already poor reac’ tion to Canadian pleas for action on the acid rain problem, a U.S. congressman is trying to have Canada’s lobbying efforts deemed illegal. John Dingell, a Michigan Democrat, has asked the State Department to investigate Canadian lobbying techniques on this pressing ’ environmental issue, Dingell has long been opposed to any action to reduce acid rain-causing emissions in the U.S. To make matters worse, Dingell is the chairman of a House of Representatives committee studying acid rain. Already convinced acid rain is a minor environmental problem, Dingell is unlikely to allow any innovative recommendations to come fr&m his committee. Dingell’s request is just the latest in a long line of barriers Canadian officials have faced in trying to convince the Reagan government of the serious environmental threat Dosed bv acid rain. While the affects .of acid rain have been well-do’cumentid (many cases of dead lakes and barren stretches of forest have been recorded], Reagan has .done little to solvg the problem, preferring instead to commission mare studies. Unlike same pollutants, sulphur dioxide and nitric oxide, emissions (which form acid rain when mixed with rainwater] are carried into the atmosphere and may be deposited anywhere else, depending an weather conditions. Canada estimates 50 per cent of its acid rain comes from the United States; Ontario, Qyebec and the Maritimes are highly susceptible to Awerican pollutants due to their proximity to the heavily industrialized northeastern states. While it is unlikely Dingell’s at tempts to squelch Canada’s voice on this issue will amount to anything - the administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says there’s nothing wrong with Canada’s environmental lobbying efforts - any negative input can’t help but hurt the cause. Considering the U.S. already refuses to acknowledge the serious problem that exists on its own doorstep, the ramblings of someone like Dingell can’t be taken lightly. Far from lessening the Canadian lobby, Dingell’s actions have shown the need for a stepped-.up campaign. 1 f

the Bible into a science book is to destroy both Christianity and science. ’ The solution to the difficulty is to realize evolution is the instrument by which God created the world. cod’s action in the world is orderly, which means that a specific ratio between a being’s

_-Relationships by Chris Gerraril (a, pseudonym) Lights are flashing in random patterns over the dance floor as numerous bodies writhe in rhythm with the music playing so loudly from the speakers -mounted all about the dance floor. It is midnight. Yes, the bar is busy, as it always is at this time of night, on a Saturday. Looking around, I see lots of very attractive men, some dressed up, some casual, but alniost all well dressed. Typical. I feel m self looking around - looking for someone. But part of me is pul r ing back. My friend approaches. He notices that I am preoccupied. He asks what is up. “1’m afraid,” I answer. “Of what?” “Of getting hurt.” Again. I have such a feeling of despair these da s over gay relationships - male ga relationships. I am real r y rather pessimistic about the whole t x ing. Most gay lien I know have had nGmerous “lovers”, some lasting as little ‘as two days, some as much as two years, I know one couple that has been together for twenty-five years, and another that has lasted five. But those are the exceptions; There is a very high rate of attrition of gay male relationships (I’m not very familiar with the statistics for gay women’s rel-ationahips, but the breakup rate does, tend to be lower), aa many gay men change partners as frequently as they change their I wardrobes; I have always wanted a permanent, long-term relationship. I want someone that I can grow with and grow old with, Tell that to your current flame, though, and you are most likely to terminate that happy joining with a “lets just’ be, friends”. Gay men love their freedom’ - actually, it is really all men, i think, love their freedom. Brought up to be independent and adventurous, we men -iend to want to live OUF lives like that for eternity. I think straight couples have it easier (or at least had]. Youstraight folks have all the institutions to support you in times of trouble - the Church, family. And women were broughi: up with the notion that they were to make their man happy, doing whatever that may have entailed. Men and women tend to do better in marriage situations most1 because women were conditioned from birth that theirs was t 31e role to “make the marriage work”. And they put up with a lot of crap, pardon the ex ression, that many will not today (could explain the increase s divorce rate). But get two men together, both of which want to run the show call the shots, do what they want -well, that is a different story. My last lover hadthe idea that he should be able to do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted, and I should not mind. That, in retrospect+ made for some very amusing weekends, although they were not too funny at the time. An even more peculiar phenomenon is the reaction of some men to another man% accommodating them. A man being very coo erative and giving in ‘a gay relationship is often real1 quite har dpfor another man to handle - men are not supposed to ybe like that. We have been conditioned well. My experience has been that most men will pull away when they encounter that in the man they are seeing -. it makes them really quite uncomfortable. And- that is also the experience of some of my friends. And, I have done the same thing. A day couple usually do_es not have the support of the Church (if they have not been alienated from it already, it usually does not know), or of family, who most often is unaware of (or refuses to acknowledge) their relsition’s same-sex preference. And the gay men’s community is usually not exactly supportive of long-term relationships - ‘it is not “politically correcf” for two men to be in a marriage-like arrangement. So here I am L the odds are not too good. And, I am really quite choosey, although I think thai tbat’is more of a defense me&anism than anything. where does a man find another man who is looking for “one of those” types of relationships? (I almost feel like I am writing a “Companion Wanted” ad for the classified.) It is at times like this that I really find the notic)n that my way of life being my “choice” quite ehtertaining. You think it is easy and ‘fun’ being gay? Not on your life, baby. It is a lot harder than you think.

A Pilgr&‘s Perspective : “Being a Christian means being boring” by Bob Horton

The planet is termhally I ill says ex-CIA official ’ I

What does covert activities in Nicaragua have to do with thenuclear arms race,? Everything according to John Stockwell, the highest ranking CIA official to ‘igo public”. John Stockwell lectured at the Humanities Theatre October 2. He drew on his CIA experience in Angola and Vietnam, his extensive readings in CIA activities, and his on-going research in Central America to paint a dreary picture of the current state of the world, Borrowin,g Helen Caldicott’s phrase “terminally ill” Stockwell explained how the nuclear arms race and the militarization of the planet have placed us “seven minutes from disaster”. There are more than 60,000 missiles in t,he world: “enough to destroy 85 Soviet Uuions and render 20 planets uninhabitable” said Stockwell. Because it would only take seven minutes for a missile to enter either hemisphere, computers and corporals must handle the decisions to fire. In explaining the fallibility of technology, Stockwell states, “this year alone the’ $halIenger, a Soviet SS-18, a Delta, two Titans, and a French missile have malfunctioned and blownup”. In the’past “we have accidentally dropped, four nuclear bombs on Spain, one off Portugal, and one in South Carolina” he continued. Remarkably none have gone off. There are also nuclear submarines on the bottom of the ocean, says Stockwell. According to Stockwell, the CIA has an integral role to play in protecting the interests of those perpetuating the arms race, in preserving the position of the United States, and in continuing the pattern of militarization. The ,Reagan administration openly supports low intensity conflicts, destabilizations, secret wars,or whatever you want to call it. The purpose is the same, says Stockwell (borrowing a line from ex-CIA director William Colby) “to rip apart the social and economic fabric of the country”. In human terms this means, “farmers can’t get produce to market, children can’t get to school, women are terrified of being attacked inside the home

as well

as outside,

and hospitals

ace traat-

ing the wounded instead of t-he sick . I a “ concludes Stockwell. The CIA is currently invoived’in 50 such covert actions, destabilizing one-third of the countries in the world. According to Stockwell this includes “regional wars in Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Angola and Chad, counter insurgencies in El Salvador, Korea, and Iran, and

destabilization attempts in Greece, Poland, Vietnam, Iran, Libya, and Syria”. Not to mention the terrorist training schools, assassinations, and death squads they have funded and operated, says Stockwell. Although “not the-most expensive nor the bloodiest” Sttickwell feels that Nicaragua provides us with the best op ortunity to examine “low intensity conflict”. W R y? Because it is close to home, and the Sandinistas have left the border open, allowing the curious as well as the CIA to freely enter and leave the country. Regular raids by US.backed Contrarebels (ex-somozaguardsmen), have taken a serious human and economic toll on Nicaragua. So far there have been more than 42,000 casualties, most peasant farmer, women and children. Many have been tortured. Atthe same time the US continues to send aid to the Contras and Ronald Reagan asserts proudly that the Contras are the “moral equivalent of his founding fat hers”. According to Stockwell, “many countries gasp at this incrddible admission of his (Reagan’s) family tradition”. While the Contras have not been that effective, the propaganda war has been successful in convincing the American people that Sandinistas are “evil”. While we will never know what the Sand’ istas would have done had they been left al 7 ne, Stockwell believes that their accomplishments so far speak for themselves. Despite three years of war, they have abolished the death sentence, established a literacy campaign, given 35 per cent of the land back to the farmers, and until recently “achieved the greatest economic growth rate of any Latin American country” says Stockwell. He discredits the “communist threat” stating that’ Nicaragua is “the most moderate country in Central America - less socialistic than Sweden”. Still the raids and propaganda continue, bringing the US one step closer to direct military intervention in Central America. For Stockwell this comes as no surprise because the Reagan administration has been preparing the United

States

domestically

and militarily

for

the next war: the invasion of Nicaragua. Only the Contra scandal has hindered Reagan in achieving this goal. For more information on CIA secret wars visit the WPIRG office in the General Servic Complex Rm 123 or write to John Stockwell at PO Box 1030, Elgin, Texas, 78621.

Before ‘becoming a Christian, and even during :the first few weeks of being a Christian, this is what I thought would be the case, I figured that if I was a Christian, I couldn’t do anything that was fun. No smoking, no drinking, no dancing, no music, nothing! Well, I was wrong. First off, I will repeat something that is quickly becoming one of the most important phrases in these articles; ‘Everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible but not everything is constructive.+ When God calls us to be Christians, or if you prefer, when we decide to become Christians, God accepts us just the way we are. He doesn’t say “Now that you are living for me, yourgoing to have to give up everything you erijoy and go off to Africa” (or somewhere else you don’t want to go!). Quite the contrary, God loves us and so He doesn’t force us to do anything we don’t want to, or change anything we don’t want to. This ispne of the reasons why there is so much ‘evil’ in the world. God doesn’t force people to do anything. Yet, as I have gotten to know God, and I’ve learned to love Him (and that can be a weird thing to get used to), I’ve come to a point where I want to do some of those things that God would like me to do. I will quite probably go as a missionary (or perhaps servant would be a better term) to South America or Africa, I have stopped (or virtually stopped] drinking, and I have stopped other things as well (We wont get into those here.]. More importantly though, I have started reading the bible regularly, and I have even started getting up early (6 a.m., yuk, that is rough) in order togo to prayer meetings. I ‘wasn’t forced, I wanted to do it in response to the love I’ve received from Him. . Please don’t misunderstand me, I’m not trying to imply I’m perfect. In fact, I’m far from it. I have learned a lot since I became a Christian and I have changed a lot but I still have a great deal to learn and change before I’m the person God wants me to be. I look at the Bible and see what God would like me to be and I ask God how He can put up with me when I do so little of what He likes me to be doing, but I get the same answer; ‘Bob, I love you and I know where $ou’re at in life, I’m patient.’ But back to the lack of fun I thought I would have when I was about to become a Christian, First, I figured that I would have to give my love for music, especially music with a good rockin’ beat. i soon learned that there is a whole realm of music out there that has the same style but has words that will remind me of God instead of reminding me of things that might not be good for my physical or spiritual health. If your into heavy metal, believe it or not, there are Christian heavy metal groups. If your style is light rock, th.ere are Christian light rock groups. In fact, if you like music, there is probably a Christian band that plays the same style of music you like and in many cases, they play just as well. I used to love Supertramp and when I figured I had to give up’my music, I was shocked to find that the first Christian musician I heard sounded quite similar to Supertramp but with Christian lyrics (Steve Camp’s Fire and Ice album was what I heard). I haven’t found that there is a Christian version of smoking yet but then, if you are a Christian and smoke, your not alone. I admit, some Christians will probably give you a hard time (not that they should, it’s your decision to smoke or not) but then again, many people who aren’t Christian probably also give you a hard time about your smoking so what’s changed. Bec0ming.a Christian and living your life for Jesus Christ will change you (if you let it). Yet, becoming a Christian will not mean you will have to give up everything you enjoy, it may simply mean (for now anyway) adding a few things thatwill help you to learn about God and how much He loves you.

of you would like an example of a Christian music concert, there is a concert review of Myion LeFevre and Broken hearts concert at Waterloo Pentacostal Assemblies in last week’s Imprint. Secondly, in early November ther will be a concert by Degarmo and Key at the same location. Next, the record store has a copy of Two Worlds by the Awakening, a Christian band from the K-W area, Lastly, look for Christian record reviews in the imprint done by Rob Gumming’

Air Canada, being a crown corporation, is proud to be officially bilingual. I flew to Calgary on Air Canada for a vacation a few weeks ago.

There are other ways the airlines accommodate speakers of both official languages. When they show the movie, passengers ;can choose between two different soundtracks, the original English, or the dubbed French. I can’t say for sure, since I do not fly all that often, but the vast majority of movies shown were originally shot in English. I suppo?e French-speaking Canadians get used to dubbed soundtracks, though. Everything that is written is writ ten twice - things like boarding pass.es and direction signs. There is also the bilingual En Route magazine. All the feature articles in the publication are in French and English. It was also refreshing to see that some columns, such as the humour column, were not repeated. There were two different humourous columns, one in French and one in English. All the Air Canada ads were bilingual. Strangely enough, all the rest of the ads (hotels, restaurants+ car rental, etc.) were only in English. But I guess French-speaking Canadians get used to that as well. I I sat beside two French-speaking entlemen. They spoke a little English, but with difficulty. When tIi ey spoke to mch other, they spoke French, but the flight attendant always addressed them in English. They would always ask her to repeat what she had said, and then answer her slowly in English. It wasn’t until we were about 4’5 minutes from Calgary that she asked them if thgy spoke French, which she could in fat!, speak fluently. They must be used to that by now, though.

deal with Toshiba

Tod Rehm, general manager of Toshiba Canada’s information systems division, last week announced a new cooperative project with the University of Waterloo in the use of portable computers and communications for “distance education.” Rehm presented the unique project at the October 2 grand opening of Toshiba Canada‘s new headquarters in Markham. The portable computer project will greatly benefit many Canadian students in Ontario who do not have ready access to promin&t university-level courses. Toshiba Canada’s leadership role with Waterloo in this area of research will initially take the form of providing a pre-determined number of lap-top portable computers + and printers . valued at more than $250,000. It will also provide approximately $60,000 in start-up funding to support necessary research at the university. Total cost of the Toshiba Canada/UW three-year project is approximately $600,000, thus the agreement also stipulates a joint commitment on the part of Toshiba Canada and the university to approach both government and private agencies to make them aware of the significant implications and extensive benefits of this project to Canadian higher education, and to solicit their financial support. Toshiba has established an excellent world-wide reputation for its high-quality/high-performance portable lap-top computers and Iocal-area networks, and communications, and therefore is uniquely qualified to take a leadership role in this important Canadian educational project.

“Toshiba is extremely pleas.ed to be involved in th4s venture with the universit ; we believe it will have a signi Picant positive impact on university students in Ontario whkwish to take full advantage of curriculum in one of Canada‘s premiere universities, but who, simply because of logistics, were not able to do so in the past,“ said Rehm. Wes Grahhm, dean of computing and communications, represented the Univerpity of Waterloo at the official announcement. A pioneer in university-level computer instruction, Graham said: “Toshiba Canada is showing innovative leadership in supporting the initial phases of this exciting project in distance education. Through’the use of portable computers and data conimunications systems, it is hoped the bofid among distance students, and between distance students and their teachers, will become much closer than was previously possible. “Distance students &ill now be able to access many sources of educational materials formerly only available to on-campus student 5.“ This unique and positive coop’erative venture will see Waterloo undertake major new “coursew are” research in the, application of portable computers to distance education.’ Waterloo has an established reputation in computer science, one‘ of I the largest university-based distance education programs in North America, and particular strength in the application of computers in education. UW President Doug Wright called the agreement a “significant step” toward improving accessibility to higher education

for many thousands of Canadians, particularly those in remote parts of the country, to the disabled and those individuals whose commitments prevent them from attending courses at a university campus, The university is already pioneering the use of portable computers in an “on campus“ education setting. Current plans are to useportable computers to support ,distance education by providing appropriate facilities over the public data network, Students will be able to connec’t to this network to obtain course materials from Waterloo and also to communicate with both their peers and the faculty while participating in Waterloo course curriculums. Don Cowan, professor of computer science at Waterloo, will head the university’s end of the research project.

From December 27,1988 until April 23,1987 13 students (nine women and four men) from the Department of Environment and Resource Studies went to India to study its envirotimental and developmental issues under the leadership of Professor Sehdev Kumar, It was the third time Dr. Kumar had taken a group of students to India; previous trips were made in 1980 and 1983. The trip was financed by the students, each having spent $3,000 to $4,000 for the return plane trip, accommodations, food, travel and miscellaneous

Mr, Singh is an active environmentalist and research scholar. Ashish Kothari is in7 volved with the Kulpavrich, or “tree of hope”, envjronmental group, begun in 1979, involving college students. At the Jawaharlal Nehru (India’s first prime ministpr after independence) University (JNU], ye visited the lo-year-old Faculty of Environmental Sciences. There we received lectures on energy and on the pollution of the Ganges River delivered by Dr. Varshney, Indira Gandhi’s special advisor at the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, Back at NIEPA we heard talks on soil erosion and community development in

Indian hospitality The next day we miet at a Hare Krishna temple and were given a tour by a Vancouverite who had been at the temple for the last 15 years. Somehow these Hare Krishna8 fit into the Indian landscape as anything goes in the area of religion. Another day was spent at the Elefanta Caves reached by boat. These caves were carved-out between 300 and 700 A.D., as a tribute to Lord Siva. Massive columns and figures were carved, and the ceiling reached some 20 feet high - a magnifice?t undertaking considering the primitive tools that must have been used. One evening we were invited to an Indian house for dinner. Nine went, yet our hosts were upset that the others had not come. They fed us fish, chutneys, vegetables, mutton, lentils, rice and yogurt until we burst. It was an introduction to the generous hospitality that would consistently be offered to us dui+ng our stay. They seemed very honoured to host this group of Canadian students.

_ Reminiscebt

of London

The second stage of the trip began with a It&hour train ride on the Rajdhani Express north to Delhi, the nation’s capital, which lies along the great Yamuna River. We passed through six states -Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana and the Union Territory of Delhi. In Delhi we were met by cold evening weather when it dropped to 5 .C as we donned pants, sweaters and jackets. Mosquito nets were no longer needed. New Delhi seemed radically different from Bombay. The streets were clean, tree-lined and with freshly painted curbs. A long street, Raj Path, led from Rashtrapati Bhavan (the country’s pariiament buildings) to the India Gate giving a regal spacious atmosphere to the city, reminiscent of London’s Mall. We stayed the first week at the National Institute for Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA) guest house. Here we began our first lectures. We discussed women and education, technical education and historical ecology. We then

Visiting the Tgi Mahal [one of the Seven Wonders of the World] was perhaps the most amazing experience. We all visited it the afternoon we arrived, but somehow did not feel taken by it - the lighting was rather dull and there were hundreds of visitors and hawkers to contend with. A group of us decided to revisit it early the next morning when it was expected that fewer people would be there, Sure enough - the atmosphere was one of utmost peace and tranquility. Our eyes .were glued to the mosque as the white marble changed face as’it basked first in the glow of pink, then yellow light, and then the embedded gems on the outside walls lit up like Christmas lights as beams of light struck each gem.

expenses. Students were chosen for the trip based.on academic standing, past travel and work experience, references and interview results. During the fall term we underwent weekly preparatory sessions. Lectures on India’? historical, political, economic, social, environmental and cultural background were provided along with a variety of movies, particularly those of Louis Malle’s series “Phantom India”. The four-month trip had essentially six stages to it. We first landed in Bombay, located on the west coast looking over the Arabian Sea where we discovered 30 .C weather and palm trees. Here we stayed in the guest house of the Indian Institute of Technology, Powai, located on a peaceful campus with many trees, lawns and a small lake. This quiet, rather exclusive locale bnabled us to gradually accustom ourselves to being in India - a l&hour time difference from Toronto, summer weat her, spicy foods,a foreign language and of course a completely different culture. For the first few days, we explored the city just beyond the campus gates and then r further into central- Bombay. We walked through the streets, purchasing fruit and summer clothes. We celebrated New Year’s at the “Night of Nights ‘87” New Year’s eve ball, an outdoor party with a band, a dance-floor and entertainment.

We attended a presentation of Indian classical and folk- dances, the new and spectacular lotus-shaped, marbIe Bahai temple, the outdoor Jantar Mantar Observatory of the 1600s (no telescopes!), the Red For of LdI KiIa where India’s tricolour of independence was hoisted on Augu-st 15, 1947, and the Friday Temple or lama Masjid, a Moslem temple giving a wideranging view of Old and new Delhi atop of its

The need to explore .During this first week in Delhi we visited many places ifi the city - one can sit in a room and hear lectures for only so long in a foreign country of such diverse dimensions: it was necessary to discover with our own eyes what makes this capital of India tick.

growth

Upon our return to Delhi we stayed at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute international guest house. Here we received two or three lectures daily on the topics of the Green Revolution and its impgct on environment and society, water management, crop production and management, pest management, fertilizers, agricultural growth and rural development, energy in agriculture and technology transfer, The institute has been responsible for major discoveries and developments in these areas. During the week we -also visited the Centre for _Development Studies where Rajni Kothari atidvandana Shiva spoke to us on environmental philosophy and action. Dr. Kothari’s emphasis was upon the nature-culture interface, relating that India’s natural or ecological diversity is parallel yet connected with her cultural diversity. Dr. Shiva is the co-ordinator of the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Natural Resource Policy in Dehradun. She maintains survival issues are essentially environment al issues: most Indian villagers depend on local trees for providing their food, fuel, animal fodder, fibre and fertilizer needs if such a resource is endangered by industrial growth or faulty government policies, then the very survival of these people is directly affected. It was an intensive week of lectures, and so it was a welcome reprieve one evening when Roger Dumelie of CIDA held a party at his residence. Qur group was invited along with students from the Jamia Milia Mass Communications department, and students of an organization called “Development Alternatives.” It was a wonderful opportunity to meet students of a similar age group. Prior to this we had had no contact with other students but only with researchers, teachers, scientists, officials and activists.

The day we left Delhi was Republic Day, 26. This same day in 1950 was India’s constitution was set UP declaring its first indian Dresident, Rajendra Prasad.

The following day we visited the Institute for Development Studies in Jaipur where Dr. Sharda Jain discussed with us her institute’s work in the area of development focussing on women and the rural poor. The institute began in 1981 with a focus on the grass-roots level where village women and the poor are invited to discuss their problems with group members. Later that afternoon we visited the Birla Institute of Scientific Research where we received a talk on “The Major Ecosystems of Rajasthan.” It is the most populated desert in the world, with 33 million pedple and 49 million in livestock. The Aravalli Hills divide the state into a desert in the west and river basins in the east. The state has suffered from severe droughts in the last decade where a shortage of water, food, and fodder has led to mass migration of the human and animal populations. The famine is attributed to deforestation of the Aravallis where forest cover has decreased from 18 per cent in 1947 to two or three per cent cover. This spate of deforestation has been caused by a variety of ills, not least of which is the edopted Western economic growth pattern of consumerism, urbanization and industrial expansion. Resulting desertification, the expansion of the desert, is frightening those in nearby Delhi, as the “bread basket” (the centre of wheat production) of India borders Rajasthan. Rajasthan is an inckedibly vibrant state with its array of colourful village clothes of reds, pinks, oranges and yellows, its treasure of arts and palaces throughout,

We were given a heartfelt sendoff in Jaipur when Dr. Khan and Dr. Shastri presented each of us with roses. Mr. Bahti, &j&than’s deputy director of agriculture, joined us at this stage of the trip. We headed southwest to the city of Ajmer; outside of which lies Lake Pushkar, continuing south to Chittaurgarh, home to Asia’s largest fort - built over a period of 11 centuries and covering eight square miles. We visited the fort the fol-’ lowing day. It was interesting to note that sati and johor occurred here. Sati is where the wife of a dead man joins her husband’s cremation pyre to be burned alive. It was a sign of honour for the woman. This practice was outlawed in the early 1800s by the British though only a few weeks ago48 young woman of 17 committed sati in a village in Rajasthan. johor is masss-uicide by self-cremation. It was done by women when their husbands died in battle, leaving the fort and women assured of being overcome during a war. In 1538 A.D., 13,000 women committed johor all at once at Chitor Fort. We then continued further southclose to the border of Madya Pradesh into a tribal region and the town of Banaswara. Along the way we stopped to have Mr. Bahti show us sugar cane and poppy fields, and village processing of unrefined sugar. These were all farmers in villages with whom Mr. Bahti had previous contact with. It was interesting to note the women who worked in the fields brought their babies with them in a tripod crib with cloth coverings protecting them. Poppies are grown to produce opium - a government controlled business. Some farmers actually take opium to help them work longer and harder: In Banaswara the next da , we visited the newly completed Mad 3:i Dam and, canal. The dam was constructed by 10,000 workers who put it together manually, carrying small and large stones, pvtting them in place by hand. It was constructed over a period of 20 years for a projected life span of 100 years. The dam displaced 95 villages of 20 to 25 families per village. However, 36,000 hectares of land are now under irrigation, three to four crops per year can be planted, and the reservoir has created a new fishing industry. It is yet to be determined how successful the dam will be. We left Mr. Bahti that day as we continued on to Udaipur. He was a welcome companion as he befriended us and answered our many questions about the farming practices conducted having a very close feeling with the farmers we visited. Udaipur is a beautiful city. Colourful paintings of camels, elephants and royalty adorn house walls and fences. To the west of the city lies Lake Pichola where the Island and Lake Palaces seemingly float upon its surface. We spent the day at Lake Much

We decided to test out these camels by going on a camel safari that evening, We were two to a camel and were led into the desert by guides. Camels are rather grouchy animals as tHey bellow and bare their teeth when being forced to stand or sit. Also, we were riding them at a touchy time of the year since it was still mating season. The males have a habit of flicking their urine over their backs with their tails,

as a means of attracting females, Fortunately, their tails were tied down, during our ride! Our last stop was the Haryana Agricultural University (HAU) in Hissar. The dajr we were meant to hear a lecture at HAU was a holiday. We therefore took a walking tour of the campus. India’s overall li-. teracy rate is only 36 per cent, yet it has the third largest number of PhD graduates in the world. The campuses themselves take up huge tracts of land as they are very I spread out. HAU has only 6,000 students yet the campus has wide open lawns and a great number of buildings and residences for both students and professors. How-. ever the university is deemed to be very important as it has contributed to agricultural growth in the state, one of the most benefited states in the wake of the Green Revolution.

it was an exciting couple of days as each of us caught up with one another as to where and how we each had spent our time during the past five weeks. Exchanges.of stories of the work we had each done, experiences we had, and people we had met. Everyone of us had a more or less different story and set of anecdotes to relate. Perhaps the greatest shock to many of us of this part of the trip was the tremendous change in temperature at this high altitude. Throughout most of India, in Delhi, the plains and in the south, 30-40 .C weather was common. Suddenly in Simla it was raining and the temperature ho-

We spent a day settling down, a day having our visas extended and provisions for our seven-day hike bought. The last day we attended a lecture at H.P.‘s Chief Conservator of Forests’ office, while we later took a tour of the old Viceroy’s Lodge. Dr. M.C.

It was a very different part of the trip as Suddenly each student had to arrange his/her own transportation, accommodations, and eating on a daily basis. At the same time, contact people in each field of study needed to be looked up and consulted on the initiative of each student. It was a complex process compared to conducting research in Canada, based at the University of Waterloo with familiar teachers as advisors. Rather, we were on our own, having to conduct research in completely foreign circumstances - first time visiting a city, having to find a hotel and suitable restaurants, having to discover how to get to one’s destination and then catching the local bus, all within a two or three week time period! With a rather unreliable telephone system (still in the 193Os!),

This picturesque natural environment of deodar, spruce, and fern trees with clear, cold streams in the valleys, green terraced hills, and snowcapped peak& abounded with such a variety of human activity. The peace, the fresh, cool air, the gentleness in movement and words were a welcome reprieve from the general hustle and bustle found in the big cities.

A huge variety of daily cultural differences had to be contended with beyond the actual research work. All the academic contact-people spoke English, though local people, upon whom the research was often based, could often not be directly spoken to, due to language differences, nor was a translator always available. Despite the difficulties, it was a great challenge. Our determination, perseverance, and skills of imagination and adeptation, to changes in opportunities and circumstances within this short time period, was a test of our abilities beyond what most of us expected at home in Canada.

March 20 was the start of the fifth stage of the trip. This was the day when all the students *met up’ with Dr. Kumar once again as a group. Our meeting point was the town of Simla, located at an altitude of 7,000 feet in the Lower Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh (H.P.). Most of the group arrived via the KalkaHowrah train. It is a miniature train riding a miniature track at a snail’s pace, as the train wound around hills and went throu h 104 tunnels, in a mere 58 mile a taking five hours!

mental concerns. We learnt the Himalayas are the youngest mountain range in the world, and that the state, being at 31 degrees N. latitude would normally make it a Mediterranean climate (explaining the presence of banana trees at’ lower altitudes!). However, being a hilly to mountainous region it ranges from a sub-tropical to arctic climate! Some 1’1-12 per cent of H.P. is agricultural land, with fruits 1,ike apricots, plums, cherries, pears and apples, being the major crop. TheJimalayas are the most highly, populated mountain region in the world. Simla, for example, has grown from a popula’tion of 35,000 in 1947 to 100,000. As well, the state has a high cattle population. And 40 per cent of the wood used in H.P. goes to producing packing crates. It is obviovs that there are great demands upon the natural resources of this state, not only rural but also industrial, as pulp and paper. r&Is exploit the forests.

We explored various aspects of our experiences as a group and as individuals. We then compared the academic and experiential aspects. As we shared our thoughts and experiences we learned that we encountered prejudice as white8 in India, just as Indians tiay encounter prejudice in Canada; that generalizations< are not always true to form - that there are subtle differences between people, and that making generalizations can limit one’s experiences; that the attitudes df .government officials. must be balanced with those of social activists and environmentalists, remembering that the officiala are the onea who run the country: and that *being generous of our attention, emotions, and care with one another in a group situation is important in pu)fing a group together. Our time as a university group ended March 30, 1987. The sixth and final stage of the trip,for many of us, was for travelling on our own to various parts of the country before flying home April 23. We brought back gifts of clothes, jewelry, art, etc. for our friends and family, as well as roll upon roll of film. More than anything else, each of us brought back our memories and a variety of experiences to draw upon, to reminisce upon, if not to one day a&upon.

Intimate Invasion - it’s anadventure by Bridget Molonay Imprint rhff .

Intimate Invasion - A concerned look at pornography was presented for the first time in English by Le Theatre Parminou. Tuesday night at Fed Hall the stage was set for this Quebec professional theatre company and its intimate and somewhat graphic look at pornography and its effects in our lives. The play is set in a small Quebec town where pornographic material is readily accessible at the corner store. Only a few props are used - any more would be unnecessary. The intense examination of love, eroticism and pornography and the differences bitween the three, lures the audience toconcentrate intensely on the characters, the play, and its meaning. Although the subject matter is serious, comic situations provide relief from the intensity of the play and the result is an excellent and enjoyable combination of the two.

The play addresses questions like, “What happens. when pornographic imagery ’ is substituted for true erotic contact?” and “What happenS to the hopes that men and women have of one day sharing a harmonious relationship based on honesty, love, and equality?” The audience can’t help feeling involved- in this thought provoking play because the actors and actresses speak to the audience directly, wander through the audience ag if it is an extension of the stage,and at one point in the play, the members of the audience become attendees at a community town council meeting with sotie of the characters from the play seated among the audience as well. . It was during 1985, at the time when video clubs were springing up all over Quebec, that a Parmii nou team decided to embark on the creation of La Creve Les Yeux, La Creve I;e Coeur, the original French version of Intimute Invasion., Since then, every

town and village in the province of Quebec has acquired an outlet, often in neighbourhood stores, for the sale or rental of pornographic material. According to Le Theatre Parminou, the feelings that made them initially want to undertake their project are still as strong for them today. ’ At the outset, they “didn’t realize how insidiously pornography was present in .all our Iives, in our personal relationships, and in our most intimate behavioural patterns.” The development of the topic of pomography for a play led the members of Le Theatre Parminou into ua very tortuous terrain of personal and emotional quicksand”. Their friendship, trust . ’ and sense of humour ultimately saved them. Rejeen Bedatd, Louise Nadeau, Odqtte Caron and Michel B&on make up the acting members of lntimote Invasion which, according to them, is “more than just a play; it’s an adventure!” . .

Visions and,Vdces: on plant[fetishists and bodies by Chris wodakou h&print staff St. Jerome’s English Professor $ric McCormack laughed that he would have Father attended former CIA agent John Stocktiell’i lecture at The Huma&ties Theatre Thursday night, but close to a hundred local bookworms decided that they’d rather hear UW English rofessors/writers McCormac E and Ken Ledbetter read from their published and upcoming works at The Theatre of the Arts as part of the Visions and Voices Arts Lecture Series. After the introduction by UW English Chairman Gordon Slethaug, McCormack took the lectern. Congenially speaking with the Scottish brogue and self-derecatin air of irreverence that Rave enfeared him to legions of English students, McCormack described his upcoming novel, “very tentatively” titled Ezror Dressed For Travejiing, as a mystery novel - “it’s a mystery to me why I’m still working on

it.” However, the whole novel is .rooted in the chief~engineer’s tale in Inspecting The Vaults’ Sad Stories in Patagania which he read f*st. Possibl the strangest story in his hig K ly acclaimed first collection of truly, bizarre, but entiessly entertaining ahart stories, the tale involves. a doctqr’s family, wl&h moves into a, small commuz@y. The doctor’s wife soon disappears to the befuddlement of all induding, apparently, the doctor himself. But events take a turn for the even weirder; h\s four children become violently ill and another surgeon discovers eight and nine-inch incisions on their abdomens which, when opened, reveal various parts of the doctor’s wife whom he has killed and hacked. But true to.his fascination with the grotesque and the oddly; blackly humourous, McCormack makes no moral judgments, but rather praises the doctor’s skill in hiding his wife’s body ~0 ingeniously. The novel picks up the thread of this story, fo,llowing the lives

of the doctor’s four children and the tragicomic existendes they lead to find out if the chief engineer’s sto really did happen. McCormac: u read from the segf ment called Notes From A @ornal, referring to a periodical in which stories about the doctor’s children occasionally appear. It seems that one of the children, Amos McKenzie, who apparently has the “most palatable” fate of the kids, is put in the care of an abbey at arrearly age and lives an unhappy life as a plast fetishist until he develops a passion for anthropology which he pursues in the next passage McCormack read. Stumbling upon a primitive tribe in the rain forest at the age of seventy, he reports on their shaman, who has a magical eye in the back of his head wrapped in an oiled banana skin and puberty and marital rites, before recounting the purification ritpal he himself undergges to return his body to the earth as a living grave-garden.

Ledbet ttir read from Too Many Blackbirds with a deadpan, dry delivery that, like McCormack, can make the unspeakably bizarre seem commonplace. He animated the St&y, actually playing the parts of the novel’s various characters, recounting the weirdest, blackest events with all the unquestioning credibility of somebody whiling abay a Saturday afternoon in the barbershop. It’s not the continuity of the narrative that fascinates with Ledbetter’s writing, it’s the dialect, the rambling flights of down-home logic, and the grisly details which we are persuaded to believe are true, but also not to be wondered at. As such, one isn’t bothered by

the convolution of Ledbetter’s navels when he reads. Listening to his characters speak through him is thoroughly entrancing in itself. The discovery of a little bay’s body in one Morgan Ballard’s well soon takes &back seat to the wildly tangential monologues of the character who finds the boy, always making reference to his friend, Buck, “pissing up a tree,” 1 I’ve never seen Hal Holbrook’s one-man Mark Twain show, but I couldn’t he[p but think that Ledbetter’s wholly -absorbing performance, as opposed to a reading, mu& have been a little reminiscent of the treat turn-ofthe-century audiences enjoyed along the Mississippi.

Something that all -those who must pass through Waterloo Park can certainly relate to. The group captured the maximum dance attention of Friday’s crowd with the song Rope with its extended Simple Minds’ Love Songs-like intro, However, the most fun for band and crowd alike was the band indulging in

their “guilty pleasures” of performing covers of Roxy Roller, Ballroom Blitz, and Zep’s Immigrant Song. Go Four 3 are one of Canada’s best bands that have yet to be signed to a major label. Their professional attitude and conduct on and off the stage makes _ them an ideal catch, for a record company willing to back a band F that can appeal to so many, which was proved by the number of friends they made at Fed tiall Friday night. _

When we had to get a press kit together we did a lot of reseapch, we gathered all we could find and most of them were really terrible. We found what we really liked in a press kit and took the time to do it right. G.B.: It’s almost like makiqg a pamphlet or sales brqchure. So we almost took that approach. I.N.: Anything the band does is an art form unto itself. Posters, stickers t-shirts, the music of course, and the press kit is no different, we want it to be an art form.

Out of turmoil comes forth wonder, again. Recorded whilst embroiled in a separation from their record label, the dismissal of their manager and the breakup of the group, Strengewaya, Here We Come is easily The Smiths’ finest work since Hatful . of Hollow, and time will probably establish it as their finest album of ail. Darker and more unrelentingly pessimistic than any other Smiths’ album, Strangeweys, Hers We Come both covers new musical territory and recovers old, with uniform brilliance. The title establishes the tone ofi the whole album, Strangeways being mental hospital on the outskirts of Mar&ester. The danger of a slide toward insanity is more acute for the characters on Strangeways than on any other Smiths’ record. This time, the undercurrent of dismissive self-mockery has. been abandoned for unforgiving selfcontempt. r mere reading of the titles signals the tone of the LP; Death of A Disco Dancer, Cirlfriend In A Coma, Last Night 1 Dreamt SomebGfy9 Loved Me, Unhappy Birthday, Death At One’s Elbow. Furthermore, unlike before, there is no adrenaline-fueled burst a la Handsome Devil or Nowhere Fast to release the buildup of tension, . . and the pressure inside the skull mounts. .

Expanded sounds * Love has always been a sore to@ in Smiths songs, but the participants have never been more tormented and -confused than on Strangeways, when it veers close to a profession of love, the emotion. is .always undercut by the situation, or the lover: I stilI love you. . . but only slightly less than I used to@tap Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before) or . . . don’t, come to tlhe house tonight/ bemuse you’ll slip on the trail of iny bespa t t ered remains/GOODBYE MY LOVE[Dedth At One’s Elbow).

The most malignant, furious song is Paint a Vulgar Picture which comes closest to expressing the gross tackiness and tawdriness of the death worship which follows th’e demise of a rock star - the record company themselves being the major culprits.

Bubble That Petrol Emotion PolyGram I

by Tim Perlich Imprint staff Few groups, if any, have been as successful at wedding politics with pop as That Petrol Emotion. The Clash, Gang of Four maybe, Neurotics possibly, Redskins sure, but the obvious difference between TPE and all those other groups is that when the Petrols make a statement it doesn’t make you feel as th-ough you should be taking notes. They seem to have learned much from the mistakes made by, groups such as the Redskins, in that a non-trivial political stance cannot effedz tively be forged and supportedwithin the format of a three minute pop song. Rather than align themselves to any particular ideology and disseminate it didacticly, TPE see their purpose as to raise the spirits of the masses first and if that .goes well, maybe their social consciousness too. Apart from the odd “Agitate, Educate, Organize!” [borrowed ‘from Brother D’s monumental How We Donna Make The Black MItion Rise) thrown in, the core of their political sentiments ire printed on their record sleeves to be read [& not read) by interested %parties.

Franks Wild Years Tom Waits Island Records *

by Peter Lawson. Imprint staff -.. .. . . -.. Uriginally staged in Clhicago at the Steppenwoff Theatre Company on june 22 1986, Franks Wild Years - Un Operachi Romantic0 in Two Acts is now the latest release from the wild and wonderful mindof Tom Waits. As an album, this newest vinyl is not Mr. Waits’ best, but still possesses some fine and unusual moments. As a piece of musical theatre, Franks Wild Years tells the tragic tale of a young huckster who dreams of taking the stages of New York and Vegas. In classic Waits pessimistic fashion, a the character falls to despair. After 15 years of huckstering himself, Waits has risen to be one of America’s great popular song writers, though few in

be given to former Swans mechanic, Roli Mosimann. Loud, obnoxious guitars steam over the minimal thud backdrop and under Steven Mack’s studie& howls to leave both the melody and lyrics barely intact just the way satan likes ‘em. Babble my children, Babble. [cue: maniacal laughtei; V.O. and dry ice]

. FALL sciously avoid being specific so as to relate on a general level, thus a song like For What It’s Worth could be seen as demand for a change in the current Northern Ireland situation as easily as Johannesburg or Mississippi. At times” though,

their

youth-

song’s lyric simplicity i&qua1 to the American composer Stephen Foster (1826-1864). It is most interesting that Foster was involved in minstrel shows, the forerunner of American Theatre. Tom Waits is following and echoing that tradition with this new music. For a song of ease of lyric expression, Innocent When You Dream could easily have been written a hundred years ago as a parlour song. The first version subtitled Barroom sings like a. barroom round ‘with voices jumbled about the melody, never together but always close. Yesterday Is Here and Cold Cold Ground are two campfiie songs, homespun American roots. Outside the few lyric tributes to American roots, the album contains the twisted parodiestributes which surfaced on Waits’ former albums like Rain Dogs. Straight To The Top (both the Rhumba version and the Vegas version) and I’JJ Take’ New York are Tom’s dig at the lounge sound - soft-shoe - music which is representative of this

ful exuberance can send their righteous indignation stumbling blindly into unfamiliar territory. Chester Burnett, for example, bares a strong anti-racist sentiment but it would seem, ironitally enough, the Petrols missed the fact that Howlin’ Wolf himself had little affection for the white members of his audience. are bo<h interesting and difficat to listen to, because of the humourous, twisted harmonics and humourous, unusual lyrics. Words like never drive a car when you’re dead (Telephone Call From Instanbul) are the slanted lyrics which perplex and enlighten - depending on your *:own slant. If you are not familiar with Tom Waits’ records, this slice is not the one to initiate yourself with. The Waits-converted will buy the recolids regardless. In spots it is difficult to listen to because the Waits’ parody is heavv - and at times worn.

by Derek Weiler Imprint staff Treehwse, the second LP from Vancouver’s Grapes of Wrath, is more or less a repeat of their first, September Bowl of Green. The only not iceable difference between the two records is producer Tom Cochrane (of Red Rider fame], who has tightened up the rhythm section and given the band a slightly more rocking edge. Otherwise, this is standard fare and contains no real surprises. If you loved September Bowi of Green, Treehouse is a musthave. The album contains all the winding guitars and choral vocals that marked the debut, and the Grapes have again managed to come up with a handful of

comes across as a g,enre’of dance music witha cute melody to rival the Miami Sound Machine. The lead’s potential Mick Hukknallish voice sounds more like the lead sibger’s from Scrit ty Pelitti. The.instrumental Rebecca and rootsy Eiery Town Waltz were such a relief found on the B-side. Guitar solos by Mike Bulger merge with sax medleys. Shocks of keyboards, discreet piano and choruses of voices are tools that this band has chosen as its forte. Thq Christians have ,managed to portray a different, modern bridge to blues that doesn’t sound too superfici-aal or waterdowned. If side B is indicativb of the true Christiaps. then Islbnd has themselves a wealth of potential and we have an interesting album to anticipate. good-to-great songs. The real -standouts are the openers of each side, Peuce of Mind and 0 Lucky Man; they rank with the debut’s Misunderstanding as the band’s finest songs. Several other tunes, like Backward Town, Amused and So Many Times, are also highly listenable, due to the intriguing mix of guitar and bass. However, Treehouse suffers from the same problem that plagued the debut: the songs are just too bloody similar! By the end of the album,. you suspect you’ve just heard the same pong with 11 different titles. Cons’is,t&cy is one thing; lazy songwriting is another. The situation is not helped by the vocals, either: th,ey are largely uninspired and bored-sounding. Don’t get me wrong; the record is not a writeoff by any means. There’s not one truly bad song on the disk. There are, however, lots of mediocre ones. Here’s hoping the Grapes’ next effort is a bonafide album, and not half songs and half filler.

See How

Wi’Are x

Elektra

Records

by Peter Stathopulas Imprint staff X sings about the quest of the great American hobo. See How We Ara is a disjointed tale about all walks of people in all manner of situation. The, theme that binds this tale toge,ther is that they all inhabit the vast wilderness of cities and >plains called America. And X singer-songwriters John Doe and Exene Cervenka certainly sound like they’ve visited the places and seen the things they describe with such honest detail in their songs. Sounds like the album was recorded on the road, in between gigs, on a small, mobile trailer studio. The songs are immediate and unrehearsed and full of fresh energy. Doe and Cervenka share the lead and backing vocals in each tune creating intensive harmonies that sound tortured as often as they sound delighted or cynical, depending on the theme of the song. And the guitars are excitingly raw and’ jangly, the strings buzzing with electricity. X has taken a basic folk tradition and increased its volume and speed to suit 1987. Their album doesn’t boast any great technical wizardry. The biggest trick they do is have a guitar riff go from the left channel to the right. But hey, it works! They have a straightforward approach to playing their music that fits their simple and often humourous lyrics.

Buy this album if you like simple music The first track, I’m Lost, deals with that most familiar of city landmarks, the bum, Hey there brother/ con you spare a dollar?/ you know I’m down on my luck/ and sure could use that buck. These are the first words we hear and they set the tone for the rest of the album. Even love4s spurred or reduced to long distance telephone calls by Ameri.ca’s separating vastness. In You, Cervenka sings: Talk to me while Puero Rican prostitutes ask for date/ and two kids are moking fun of a bum who just fell flat an his face. Other songs deal with American phenomenon such as The Fourth of July, weTstern ghost towns, rotid houses and the straight black stretches of asphalt highway that link the cpuntry together. The starkly beautiful title track See How ‘We Are is the softest and, surprisingly, the most memorable song on the album. The harmony between the two singers and the very austere guitar playing give it a sad, haunting quality that takes you by the heart. Left and Right is a raunchy, shakin’ tune about crossin’ them there highways we was talkin’ ‘bout before, boy. The chorus goes like this: Look left and right/ then run like hell. This song rocks with screaming guitar riffs and a strip-down snare drum that puts that beat into high gear. You’ve gotta play this one loud and sing the chorus or air-guitar or ‘shake your noodle to the driving beat. Buy this album if you like simple music. Buy this album if you’re tired of studio electronics. Buy this album if you’ve got those trans-American blues to hobb your way from city ‘to town, skyscraper to desert, in a broad land of bittersweet experience.

Show Me 54.40 Warner Bras

by Don Kudo

Imprint

staff

It’s a gradual process: forming a band, honing your collective talents on the local club circuit to raise enough coin to record an album, then hoping that it will attract the interest of a larger recording and distribution faction. L;;;to, a rock In’ roll success is ! Vancouver’s 54.40 have followed this well-trodden path. After an independent release, The band latched on to a deal ath Warner Eros. Their first album with the big guys was a big hit last year on radio [particularly the campus sort] and launched them into the Canadian corral of “bands to watch”. Show Me is an extension of their 1986 success since some of the material was penned almost three years ago. This time lag of finally placing the songs on plastic has allowed the band to use their greater studio awareness, and more than likely larger ?ina&ial resources, to produce a richer rock ‘n’ roll album than its predecessor.

The greater texture of Show Me is evident on What’s in a Name. While the trumpet rings similar to their earlier exceptional effort Take My Hand, the added studio gadgetry fills the high end of the song by delicately dancing over the group’s gift of rootsy rhythm. What’s in a Name, like all 54.40 songs, was written by guitarist Neil Osborne. The song is a comment on Osborne’s worldwide concerns - Olitside my Jije/ I imagine what its like/ To be afraid aJJ night and day/ There’s a Jessonl So listen/ To what they hove to sa / What is the name for a world t x at cannot Jove?, This number is followed by One Gun, which is a look at the futility of sending guns to another nation in,order to stop the fighting. The chorus of One Gun added on to the one gun. finds a soothing vocal groove that slides home the message with gentle ease. Though Show Me is devoid of the immediate blow-you-away blast of a Baby Ran, it is a progression for 54.40 as Show Me is a complete album: mixing Replacement-like rock and slightly more Popular guitar-twanging moments side by side. They’ll be here at Club $7.50 October 21. So pick up their 5um and give it a listen before ;LU check out this top Canadian band!

The album overall is a diverse display of what ig called blues. The music has the influences of funk, soul, rock, and traditional blues riffs. Only a few songs are filler and the remaining numbers make t’his a good record for rockin’ listening. With different performers on each track, the album does not become repetitive.

Un Zoo, La Nuit: best Cdnfib by Tim Perlich Imprint staff

It was no fluke that Un Zoo, LQ Nuit is likely the greatest film Canada has ever produced. Built on a foundation of actors whose credits read like a directory of Quebec- theatre (the two male leads, Gilles Maheu and Roger Le Be1 have each founded their own theatre groups, the former being the prestigious Carbone 14), director lean-Claude Lauzon shapes the jiggling talent mass with a razor-sharp script and 8 keen sense of rhythm. What makes the film so successful is the tenuous balance it keeps between a world of brutal

violence and one of familial warmth and light humour. Explains Lauzon: “I wanted to make an urban picture. I’d made a break by going to university, and how I wanted to m&be a high-contrast film, with two rhythms and two styles, about the urban world df Julie and “Blade”, the kind of night-world I was living in at the time and the working-dass background of m family, who I could never ta r k to. Grunt and argue - yes; talk - no,.” At the center of it all is Marcel played by Gilles Maheu recently released from prison after being set-up by two corrupt cops. The $200,000 used in the deal however, has never been recovered

and Charlie and George. (Lorne Brass plays the ruthless homosexual policeman to chilling perfection] believe Marcel still has it stashed someplace. On the city’s other side is Marcel’s ailing father with whom he shares an unspoken conflict. Taking one final stab at getting to know each other, they plan a hunting trip. In their reiationship, Lauzon finds the smooth quiet he needs to heighten the films overall tension while further developing the side of Marcel necessary to leave the films denouement so unsentimentally moving. In 811, it’s 8 magnificent feat, even for ‘the 33 year-old Lauzon, considering it is just his first feature.

Near Dark - Mo<metitary chik by John Zacheriah Imprint stuff With Near Dark, Kathryn Bigelow attempts to scare us by turning day to day existence on its ear: Caleb (Adrian Pasdar] is 8 young hayseed buried in the heart of midweat America whose life is commonplace in every way. One night, the seductive and sexy Mae (Jenny Wright] turns him into a vampire, and Caleb learns the hard way that he can’t go home again. His flesh now burns at the touch of sunlight, iind he can only get nourishment from human blood. So now what? Caleb could live life 8s 8 vampire, After all, he’ll get to be with Mae, and he’ll get to live

forever. Not bad. But to live, he has to kill, and that doesn’t come to him too easily. ’ But Caleb is in deeper than he knows. Mae. belongs to a “famil ” a loose agglomeration of bL;dsucking types led by the cadaverous resse (Lance Henriksen)’ held together only by their common curse. If Caleb doesn’t learn how to kill, his new “family” will kill him. This is the central conflict which Bigelow expresses in Near ‘Dark. Parts of Near Dark are chilling. In one scene, the marauding vampires strut into a lonely bar snd proceed to off the patr&s in a, most flippant fashion; no logger bound by things temporal, the leeches seem to have discarded their moral scruples as well. In another scene, Chleb

squirms as Mae prods him toward his first kill in the cab of an eighteenywheeler. - And as Jesse, Henriksen, is nightmariph, his coollJi detached exterior barely concealing ti gleeful propensity for bloodletting. But Near Dark leaves no lasting impression; it only delivers momentary chills. It’s easy to see the sort of vision Bigelow is trying to exprW3. In Caleb’s transformation, we see the drearily normal turned violently abnormal; these sort of changes unsettle and unnerve us the most. Y&t the movie is clumsily executed, _ hackneyed where it should be funny/and dreary when it should be thought-provoking. In failing to bring the movie off convincingly, she fails to move us.

Expectations for Candy Mountain at the Festival of Festivals wer,e extremely high. Being that it was co-director Robert Frank’s first film in 15 years (Frank is best kno.wn for his hard photographic studies of the side of American life most would’ve

liked

to ignore.

His fil-

mic documents of the Kerouac circle o’beats in PuII My Daisy and Los Rolling Stones in the now banned-by-injunction Cocksucker Blues earned hiti cult status.) and was scrip’ted by novelist Rudy Wurlitzer [famous for screenwriting Peckinpah’s Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid], it

should have been reason enough for its greatness, instead it’s the main squrce of its disappointment, Part of the blame surely must fall on the cast made largely of musicians including Tom Waits, Dr. John, David Johansen, Joe Strummer, Arto Lindsay and Leon Redbone. Apart from Waits and

Dr.

John,

the

unbearably

stiff perfomances thrown in by the others only serves to further substantiate the Sting Law: [with few exceptions) Musicians can’t act. It’s true, they may be able to play themselves believably for a single role but to assume a character is far beyond their range.

The plot involves a mythological jaunt that swings out from New York to Eastern Canada undertaken by a nobody musician, Julius [played by Kevin O’Connor) in search of a legendary guitar maker Elmore Silk. O’Connor c&-mot manage to endear his character to us, let alone make us sympathize with him. paired with the fact that there is no reason for the audience to be at all interested in the search for or the finding of Silk, as his legendary status has not been effectively built, the film plods aimlessly like a thriller sans thrills. The final blow, a cameo by Jane Eastwood, seals Candy Mountain’s First Choice-Superchannel fate.

The Mustani offence repaid the favour by marching down the field on the following possession for a touchdown to widen

But late in the quarter the Mustangs 8 would get a lucky bkeak as a Warrior defender slipped while making a tackle, allowing Western to score their final points of the day. Despite falling to O-4, the Warriors have somewhat of an outside shot, albeit a very iffy one, of making the play-offs. They complete their schedule against lowly Cuelph, a Chris Porter-. less -Windsor and a not-verycompetitive York. And should they get a concerted, penaltyfree performance from the offensive-unit, they could be able to secure a victory against any or all of their remaining opponents.

Athena runners ab xonze by John Gonos

With only two returning runners from last year’s QUAA team, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the ‘1987 Athena cross country team, But in this year’s crop of frosh, the Athenas havk harvested some quickly improving talent. It was a combination of this and experienced veteran running that led the Athenas to a surprising third place finish at the RMC Invitational meet held last Saturday in Kingston. With represent at ion from 13 full OUAA teams and 75 starters, the Afhen’as faced their toughest competition of the year on the same course the OUAA Championships will be held on October 3~ The race was won by Jill Purola, a former Western great, now graduated and running unattached. Her time was 16:42 over the twisting, hilly course. U of T rookie Allison Evanoff placed second. The Athenas were once again led by sophomore Jill Francis, who ran her best race of the season to finish 10th. Francis was followed by Ianice Patterson, zoth, and rookie Lisa Laffrad, 39th. Other Athenas compet.ing were Marielle Rowan, who finished 49th+ rookie Linda Hachey, %th+ Bonnie Campbell, 69th, Carolyn Anglin, 71st an&Sue Voisin, 75th. Scoring at the meet was different, as only the top three and not top five finishers from each school counted. Powerhouse U

of T won with an astonishing 10 points. Western was second with 27, and Waterloo third with 50. c On the Warrior side, the presence of Harvey Mitro and Scott McLellan were definitely missed as UW finished a tough but close fourth. The race was won by last year’s OUAAKXAU champion, Norweigan John Halvorsen, who finished in a time-of 29:49 over the 9.8 km course, Top Warrior wa’s Nick Cibp who ran an incredible race in which he shared the lead over the first three kilometres with Halvorsen, Cipp hung on for a seventh place finish in a field rich in former national junior , and senior team members, Foli lowing Cinn was newcomer lohn Carsoi, z$ih, rookie Paul Ernst, 15, Allan Faulds, 18t.h, and Shamir Jamal, 34th to round out the Warrior scorers. Other competing Warriors were coach Chris Lane, %th, Sean McGuinness, 41st, Tim Rose 56th, John Teixeira 57th, Dave Lapham, 66th, Jim Milligaa, 84th, Tim Collins, 87th, Peter Mulvihill, 91st and Peter Legault, l&!nd. There were XXI finish&s. Team scores were messed up at the finish line, but it appeared U of T won with U of Ottawa. Western and Waterloo very close behind, These results really set the tone for the OUAA championships as any on& of these teams could win. The meet also proved that last year’s champs, Ottawa, are vulnerable this season. This Saturday, the Warriors and Athenas travel to Canesius College in Buffalo, New York.

sight

on Saturday.

by Peter B~Qw~ Imprint staff A learning experience. That’s how varsity rugby coach Mark Harper described Saturday’s 32o drubbing at the hands of McMaster. Not much else could be ‘said, as the Warriors were out-sized, out-powered, and just out-played by a bigger, more experienced Marauder team. Waterloo played with energy and enthusiasm, but was kept from the ball. for much of the game. Mac stuck like glue to a offensive style of play that capitalized upon their size superiority at the forward position. Again this week, Captain Blair Falconer played an intense and inspiring game. Steve Wells, Mark Lordell, and Dave Simmons also turned in fine perfor-

mantes. The game began on a relatively nositive note as Mac moved the ball inside the 5-metre line, but were stymied by a surging WBterloo defence for more than five minutes. The Marauders soon found their groove, however, and opened up the game completely. Flawlessly executing their game plan, they moved the ball effortlessly and scored at will. Those who follow Warrior rugby will probably recognize the name Tony Stea. Last year’s Waterloo

far

Ontario’s provincial team, now playing for McMaster, was dominant, controlling his forwards and thus the game. Waterloo remains in the OUAA basement with a worrisome. 0-3 record, while McMaster is shaping up as a favourite at

3-o.

In junior varsity action, the Warriors lost a heart-breaker, 15-14, to Mac. After a shaky start, the second team came on to dominate the Marauders in their own end. But ball possession wasn’t enough as they failed to score on many opportunities. Leading 14-12 late in the game, the Warriors committed an unfortunate mistake, resulting in the winning points on a penalty kick. Steve Slater led the junior Warriors, scoring a try and two penalty

kicks

for

points.

Mark Rankin, with the other try, and Jon Sadlier also played-well. Overall, an encouraging effort from the seconds. Waterloo played host to Western on Wed. Oct. 7, and travel to the University of Guelph on October 10.

His, sentiments were echoed b UW’s Director of Men’s AthLtics Wally Delahey, who commefited, “all of us are hurting in this province+ we need money or we’ll have to delete programs.

Scholarships would be taking money that the programs could use.” Totzke, Delahey and Newbrough all agreed that academics would not be a problem. The consensus was that academic problems could be averted through what Newbrough termed, “polic. ing”. Totzke added that at the moment, UW athletes must buy their own footwear.“If we’ had the money, we could use it to offset the costs of the students. We’re not at an even level right now.” Philisophically speaking+ Totzke said he doesn’t mind granting student athletes money, but only if they’re in financial need, “We don’t need to pay our athietes, it’s not a paid job.” Delahey questioned Jelenik’s motives+ terming them “political”. ” Jelenik’s a politician, He wants to stir up print, put his name in the forefront when he knows’most Canadians, who are influenced by the US., want schol&ships.” . Delahey and Totzke also noted that Canada already has an adequate government funding pro->& cess Jwith the Carded-Athlete d system, With this, athletes (not” necessarily university students],9 receive funding for participation in national athletics. For instance, Ben Johnson is a Level A carded athlete. While the administrators squabble over the merits and drawbacks of athletic scholar. ships in Canada, one point is worth noting. When scholarships are established, there will only be two allotted per school * across the country. This will hardly trigger a grand revitalization of Canadian university athletics. As Fowler . commented, “it’s just a drop in the bucket”. If Canadians want to see professionalized college sports, they’ll have to continue to tune in NBC, ABC or CBS on weekend afternoons.
