David Garner, renowned iesearcher, consultant and clinic cian in the field of psychology and psychiatry, was the keynote speaker at a conference dealing with eating disorders held Wednesday at UW. Garner, a professor at the University of Toronto, ‘voiced his many concerns about these diseases such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia. Garner noted that the problem of eating disorders is riot simply one that belongs to the ’70s and ’80s; they have been documented as far back as 300 years. In earlier times however, the control over eating simply represented a co&o1 over all other urges. These types of individuals represent only a small minority of cases today. individuals in the '80s sight control over food intake as control over their entire life and self. The problem has in- , deed escalated at a henomenal I rate, with most of t K e cases involving women. Garner attributes this critical biological and psychological dilemma to the inappropriate cultural attached to women. The issue of changing cultural values regarding shape is a difficult one, he said. Garner said the change must begin in adolea_ cence, but “how do we change David Garner adolescents feelings toward photo by Andrew Rah+ga . their bodv sham when adults Models since Twiggy have ail themselvei hold these values?,” asked Gamer, ’ adopted this emaciated appearGarner hit home with the auance, although Garner has seen a dience at the conference when he slight change in this trend in the past several years.

Although he said he agrees that exercise is. an important part of staying healthy, a substantial majority of the women recently involved In ‘keeping fit’ are “not concerned with improving their cardio-vascular fitness, but simply want to become thinner . . , this contradicts the fact‘ that you can be very fit and not be thin at all.” The image and ideal presented wi?h the fitness movement is again highly unrealistic, he said. ‘.‘Jane Fonda, the Crown Princess of Body Distortion, has publicly *proclaimed that she has bulimia . . ! unfortunately fitness is not really the important buzz w;c& but thinness is.” Although Garner said he feels that raising public awareness of these eating disorders is important, he worries about’the media “glamourizing the problem.” Despite the fact that anorexia eliminates sexual function and desire, individuals in the media feel it is a “sexy topic”.

The meetings are in NH 3001 and are open to the public. This weeks meeting was dominated by>severa1 committee reports each of which was presented by Senator rim Gardiner.

speaking on behalf of the accounting group said that the funds would come from a mqre efficient undergraduate program. Some senators questioned the lack of availability of undergraduate accounting courses, khowever. The graduate council also i’n-
trbduced a revision on the policy regarding the binding of graduate thesis. The objective of the , change, according to Gardiner, was to reword the rules to allow graduate students to bind their thesis without use of the graduate office resources. This change was required because the previous wording was disallowed by the provincial government. Senate approved the change on a humourous note. ‘Undergraduate council informed senate that an agreement had been reached between the dance departmtint and the Na-, tional Ballet, among other matters. Dance will offer a new area of. concentration within the honours dance prtigram, “namely an academic/professional area of concentration ifiolving the Dance Teacher Certification program of the National’ Ballet School of Canada.” Senate was also informed, by Gardiner, that both the History and Political Science masters programs were rated in the “A” category by the government. A potentially volitile proposal to restrict the posting of marks was recommended by undergraduate council. However, the proposal was referred back to council on a motion by Senator George Atkinson.

Differential I -m by Flsur Maequeen Imprint staff

Though there is “no question” in Dr. Lynn Watt’s mind that the decreasing enrollment of foreign students has been caused by fee increases over the last five years, he does not see the policy of differential fees being abandoned. -“One thing you 1ear.n when you start working in the political arena is that governments will never admit when they’ve made a mistake, even if they realize they have.” Watt, an Engineering professor and former .dean of graduate

studies at Waterloo, spoke about differential fess at a November 11 lecture organized for.International Students’ Week. The Ontario government has ‘steadily increased the. formula fee, the fee which universities are expected to charge students, for foreign students since 1977. The impact of steady fee increases has affected foreign student “enrollment substantially @ace 1982, Watt said. , Foreign undergraduate students currently pay an average of $5,093 a year in tuition fees, more than three and a half times the fee for Canadian students, Foreign student fees go di-
rectly to the Ontario government, and are re-distributed to the universities bn the basis of total enrollment. Therefore institutions like Toronto’s Ryerson Polytechnic, who have no graddate programs and few foreign undergrads, are often given tiore money proportionally t bancampuses that have a much higher number -of foreign students, Watt said. The number of foreign students studying at. Ontario postsecondary institutions has gone fkom 20,OOOin 1982-83 to 12,000 in 1986-87, according to a study compiled by.the Ontario Federation of Students.

The Ontario Council of University Affairs reacted against these fees, Watt said. In the end, they weren’t implemented for graduate students+ but were for undergrads. Since then, fees have increased with inflation. Canadian students cover approximately 18 per cent of their educational costs. ’ In light of the econbmic and cultural benefits of foreign stul dents, Watt said the government has made a mistake in implementing such heavy differential
fees, Foreign students bring capital into the country, contribute to the economy while they are here, and may trade with Canada after returning to businesses in their I home countri8se They also con. tribute to the campus life in edueating Canadians about other cultures. “Political pressure from the populus of Ontario has made the government decide to put tiore of the financial burden on foreign students,” Watt said. “Unless someone takes up .and champions their cause they are without a political voice,” Watt would like to see more bilateral agreements, whereby foreign students could studv in Canada and Canadian stud&ts in their countries without the imposition of differential fees.

WCRI uphold8 eviction ruling by Steve Kannon Imprint staff A resident of the Waterloo Cooperative Residence Inc. has been told to leave her apartment theke by November 30 after the co-onerative’s board of directors uphild a recommendation calling for the eviction. Carol Tan was found to be in violation of several WCRI policies earlier this month by the co-op’s judicial review committee. That committee recommended Tan be evicted from her apartment and that her membership in the co-op be revoked. At a meeting November 14, board members agreed with the review committee’s decision and voted to act on the decision. A notice was delivered to Tan the folloyving day notifying her the WCRI board of directors had “resolved to do the following: evict Carol Tan from apartment El-2 at 12 p.m. (noon) on Monday November 30, 1987 (and) expel Carol Tan from membership in Waterloo Co-operative Residence Inc. at 12.01 p.m. on Monday November 30, 1987. . . Tan, a resident of the Phillip Street co-op for seven years since arriving from Taiwan, is said to be living in her apartment in violation of an occupancy agreement with the cooperative. She was brought before the judicial committee for vi@ations of WCRI’s admissions policy, guest policy, and security and access policy, as well as her occupancy agreement. She was
subsequently found guilty on all counts. The decision stemmed from Tan’s continued occupancy of unit Bl-2, a two-bedroom apartment, despite a signed agreement to take possession of a one-bedroom apartment on the third floor of the same building. Although Tan was expected to appeal the committee’s decision at the board meeting last weekend, she declined to do so. She said she had not received full information and minutes from judicial hearing in time to consult with her lawyer in advance of the board meeting. Bob Pellegrini, a form& WCRI maintenance manager who has been representing Tan in this matte?, said this week Tan may make an appeal directly to the co-operative’s membership. Under the co-op’s judicial policy, such an appeal may be made at a general meeting. “The board had already made its mind up to get rid of Carol.. . an appeal to the’ membership might work if people are made aware of the situation,” said Pellegrini. 1. He said the reasons given for the expulsion are not the real reasons why the board wants Tan evicted. Her opposition to the land deal at 268 Phillip St. (the site of the new apartments) and her association with Pellegrini, who is suing WCRI for $1,125,000 for wrongful dismissal, are the real reasons Tan is being “harassed”. The board “wants her out no matter what,” he said.

Top’debaterS’meet at U.W by Julie Cosgrove Imprint staff
_
In the midst ‘of Homecoming actiyities, Waterloo hosted the CUSID National Debating Tournament with teams representing academic institutions across Canada. Sixty teams [of two persons per team) and 40 judges assisting the Waterloo co-ordinators, participated in the debate making it one of the largest, Canadian held tournaments. Despite the lack of necessity
for spectator crowd control, the debates were in highly energetic and competitive form - if not occasionally heated. Diane Brady,and Paul Baton from U of T captured the debating championship and Carlton’s Mark MacKeigan was designated as the tournament’s top debater. Included as part of the tournament was impromptu public speaking with -topics of discussion wildly ranging from We Are Creatures of Love (inspired by the Talking Heads) to the more politically oriented, Violence Is
The Opient of the Mass& ChrisChandler from McGill showed the most spontaneous verbal talent, placing first in the public speaking division. Although the acclaimed Waterloo debating team did not officially compete in this year’s nationals because af intense involvement with the organization of the event, and as a gesture of “home-team etiquette,” Waterloo will be represented at the 1988- 89 national debating tournament scheduled to be held at Quyen’s University.

A spoon-fed deal wit*h the States I We’ve heard a great deal about free trade lately, but have learned little. Although the, Conservative government maintains the deal with the U.S. will be of great benefit, they have been reluctant to tell us anything specific about the pact: .It is no surprising, therefore+ that a recent Gallup poll found 81 per cent of Canadians are still puzzled by the deal. While the “final-draft” of the the agreement was prepared October 3, ’ no details have been released; The government still claims it is not necessary for the public to know all the details before accepting the deaLApparently, Brian Mulroney is not familiar with the old pig-in-a-poke adage. A free trade agreement of .this magnitude can’t help but cause widespread changes to this co,untry’s economy and, despite official claims to the contrary, to its culture and II values. Economic factors such as the standard of living, types and locations of jobs, and associated benefits [eg. health care)have been shown to play an important role in societal trends (eg. the crime rate); any shift in the economy will undoubtedly alter the way hundreds of thousands of Canadians currently live their lives. And with the overwhelmingly influence of Ameridan media - U.S. movies, books, television and magazines have always been more popular than the home-grown variety - those involved in Canada’s cultural industry have a genuine concern. The Tories, however, have seen fit to address these concerns with platitudes about Canadian culture “not being on the bargaining table”. Even if-certain topics are not specifically dealt with in the deal, the overall upheaval in the econ\\ omy will have a direct bearing on every sector. Canadians have every right to be worried abut the free trade arrangement; the many differences between this country and the United States [eg. social support, personal security] fall in Canada’s favour - we don’t want to be just like our southern neighbours. This is not to say that we can’t work out some beneficial trade agreements; we can. We need look no further than the auto pact for such proof.

The files documented surveillance activitieg by the RCMP since 1966 and followed Ternette’s relationship with the New Democratic Party and the NDP itself:The files include analyses of his actions and his influence within the university community. York writes, “The documents also suggest the RCMP kept files on a host of political and community organizations, including thti Company of Young Canadians, the youth wing of the New Democratic Party, native groups, peace groups, and campus organizations.” In a report entitled “General Conditions and Subversive Activities Amongst Revolutionary was desYouth - Canada General”, Ternette cribed as a “card-carrying NDP member”. In another report, Ternette’s discussion of Marxigm during a television interview “helped the RCMP in assessing him as a threat,” an RCMP officer wrote.” Due to his employment with the Saskatchewan Association of Metis and Non-Status Indians, B report included his “subversive activities amongst Indians”, Ternette said, “I -can’t understand why the. RCMP has had this file on me for 21 years. There’s nothing to indicate that I am a terrorist, a subversive or an agent of a foreign
government.” His lawyer; Sheldon Chumir, &ted that the documents shov how the police “spent a lot of time and money’ in monitoring Mr. Ternette’s legitimate political activities.” In a 1970s report, the RCMP seem to conclude that Terne,tte “was harmless” yet they continued the surveillance. Later, the RCMP Saskatchewan Area Command was brought in to re-establish Ternette’s whereabouts and assess his current activities. Accordinq to York, Nick Ternette is “the first Canadian to get a glimpse of his secret RCMP file.” The RCMP has kept files on 800,000 Canadians according to some estimetes.

The argument made by some staff members that students are “not really too interested in the homosexuality issue” has been proven false.

Some expressed the view that I was being judgmentaLStating that a homosexual lifestyle does riot work is no-more judgmental than stating that it does. It is a question df observatiop and argument, not judgment.

For all those who resorted to name-calling and hostility, I point out+how quickly the persecuted become the persecutorsgiven half a chance. It was not an easy decis.ion to go public with my views on this issue. I am well aware that I am speaking out against sope popuI;arly held opinions. I knew I would be attacked for it. But I am willing to suffer the attacks if it will lead to a deeper understanding. In this regard, Chris Gerrard and I have something in common. By “understanding” I do not mean I ask people to agree with one viewpoint or the other. I only ask for the chande to present the issue in a different way, thus providing a richer background for discussion. . I am not interested,in supdressing any one viewpoint. I have never suggested nor supported the suggestion t,hat “A Different Light” be cincelled. However, if (as some suggested) both that.column and my proposed series are propaganda, why should one a get preferential treatment over the other? I’m sure Josef Stalin could have given me an answer, but we know where that leads. Imprint staff have invited me to redsubmit the articles for con* sideration. I will do so.

@ prsudonym)
I have a feeling I am about to foray into sacred waters and ruffle quite a few feathers (mostly those of thefanatidal religious types). I want to talk about same-sex marriage. Yes, I can see the fur bristling on the backs of some of your necks now. Marriage, at least to me, is something that two people enter into : when they are committed to each other for, well, eternity, I guess. At least that should be the intention. It does not always work out as ipuch, but I think that it should at least start out that way. Marriage is something that allows two people to grow together in their love for each other andin their lives, I also think that it is in a way, a long lasting celebration of [my) God’s love for us and of the relationship that we enter into when becoming a Christian (excuse the pious o’vertonea - my opinion only]. NOW, given that I love another man with all my heart, and that we have acknowledged our commitment to each other, I do not see why we should not be niarried, in every sense of the word. Besides the tax and other benefits of being recognized as conjoined persons, I’would like to express my commitdent to my significant other before God, just as openly and jdyously as any straight couple. I would like to have the support of theinstitutions that a’ married man and woman have - chtirch, family, and all that; I see the objections flying now, Preposterous, you say. Only men and’women were to be joined in such union. Anything else is’ against nature and against God, It would destroy traditional values and morals. It would weaken the fabric of our society. [I am sure I have heard all of those arguments somewhere else before the Coalition for Family Values somehow comes to mind,) I would counter that all of those arguments are rather specious in essence. Go talk to a biologist, ecologist, or zoologist about how “unnatural” is same-sex preference and behavior. As a matter of fact, some species are predominantly “homosexual” in behavior, resorting to “heterosexuality” for purposes of procreation only. The rest of the above contentions are rooted in Judeo-Christian teachin&s; mostly taken from literal interpretations of poor translations of scripture. I discussed that topic in great depth over the course of half 8 dozen columns last winter, so I will notreiterate any of that here. One thing that I will say, though, is this: The underlying theme of all of Chdst’s teachings was love. I-KS two cdmmandments to us were love God without exception as fully as you can, and love your fellow man as you do yourself (not a literal. translation, I admit, but Ithink I hgve captured the essence). Since I love my lover, then I cannot believe that theGod that I know will be as condemning as all the “literalists” seem to think he will. But it is not love; you counter, but.simply lust, and you are fooling yourself (that sounds familiar, too). Your behavior will lead you to ruin, and it is up to us to save you and the world from yourself. Well, then, I guess I am merely.fooling myself,.just like ,a11 those ridiculous women were when they demanded the right to vote, work, and lead their own lives so many years ago. After all, they were only fooling themselves, too, thinking they were capable and kompetent. (Just do go and tel! Prime Minister Thatcher that - I am sure she would have some-counter points that you may not have considered.) And I guess it is like those silly black people thinking that they could ever do anything more than work ‘on cotton plantations. Imagine the audacity of those people! Thinking that ma be th&‘s was just as valid a viewpoint asanyone else’s! Rea rly! I hope to eventually find the man with whom I can spend the rest .qf my life - married, whether recognized or not by church and state. You cannot change the way I think. And you cannot live my life, or force me to live it the way you want me to. I will fight for my freedom to do and be who I inust. I am not asking you to live my way - indeed it would be-wrong for ydu to do ~6. Just as #wrong as it would be for me to live your way. Finally, ‘as a bit of an aside, I want to say something to all the “Christians” out there that are so wrapped up in my love for another man being 60 reprobate. We live in a world full of horrors of starvation, disease, and human cruelty. Yet you attack my affections for a member of my own sex. Christ did not come and

I would like to give credit to the’ Federation’s Homecoming committee. 1 think they did a good job . this year and hopefully Homecoming will improve next year. I do, however, have a problem with the - facts as they were presented in the article. In past years, the Students, Alumni Association (SAA) has taken an active role in co-ordinating the student program for Homecoming, Along with the SAA, the department of Alumni Affairs, which is the umbrellaorganization for Homecoming, wo”rks with the department of Athletics to co-ordinate the alumni program. These latter two organizations do most of the work on reunions+ alumni receptions, alumni/student athletic, events, etc. This year, an agreement was made between the Student Alumrii Association, Alumni Affairs, and the Federation of Students to have the Federation appoint a Home-
coming co-ordinator, This person would co-ordinate the student Homecoming program, and would not have anything to do with coordinating Alumni Affairs and the Athletic department. These two departments do not come under the Federation’s jurisdiction.

by Dawn Miles When people find out that I am a vegetarian, they often ask “but what do you eat?“. Almost everyonels meals are based on the “meat, potatoes, and-a vegetable” syndrome; it’s difficult. for them to imagine eating any other way. They wonder what vegetarians do to replace the meat on their plate. However, most of us look at food a little differently, Veietarian meals can be a lot more flexible because you dan vary the focus amongst all the different kinds of vegetables, grains and l’$gumes. Most vegetarians eat a “whole foods” diet. In this kind of diet the emphasis is on foods that have not had parts rem’oved, for example whole wheat flour or brown rice. A person on a whole food diet usually prefers fresh vegetables that are in season to those that are out of season or those -that have been preserved. These kinds of food are igenerally more naturally flavourftil and nutriIn such a wholefoods diet there is much empha,sis on grains. This includes whole grain breads stich as wheat or pumpernickel along with rice and oats. There are other kinds of grains that vegetarians eat that many people haven’t heard of. My favourite is bulgur, which is cracked wheat that hqs been toasted, giving it a nutty flavour. Kasha (buckwheat kernels) is ti staple in Russia. Grains are easy to cook.

I was
going up to get the mail, I went past two green men who were chipping away the ice on the sidewalk. As I went between them, one of them asked me if I knew how old Princess Grace of Monaco had been when she died; Grace Kelly, you may recall, married Prince Rainier of Monaco, and was killed in a car accident in the mid-1970s. “I don’t know,” I said, “but 55 rings a bell.” “That’s what we thought,” the green man said. He must have noticed that I was a little surprised by their question. He said, “You know, when you spend all your time doing shit jobs, you talk about all kinds of things.” Gwynne Dyer did a film series on war, and one of the installments was about boot camp, and the way in which aq army turns an otherwise normal Id-year old into a killer. One of the methods that he talked about was referring to the enemy in a way that *made them seem less human. In the Second World War, the Germans were Jerries, the Japanese, Nips. In Vietnam, the Viet Cong were called Charlie, OF gooks. What- does this have to do with green men? Green men are invisible, They are the custodial staff at this university, and they literally keep it a pleasant place to be, They happen to weargreen zlothes, so we call them green men, w.ithout ever really seeing ‘them. We don’t think of them as people, but as green men. We naturally tend to classify the things we see. It is part of our reasoning to simplify things by sorting them into groups. Iti many ‘cases, this tendency is a useful way of understanding the universe, but it does not work terribly well when it is applied to people, because people are not all the same. Green men have what most of us consider to be boring jobs, and in fact, they do the kind of “shit jobs” that most of us would rather avoid. I learned that green men were people on the roof of Village 1 going to get the mail. There is a special name for the use of, euphemisms applied to large groups of people - prejudice. Don’t look at people as green men, or gooks. See them for what they are, people, some good, some bad, most just doing the best they can with what they have. Ifyou’re ever in the army, that may make the gooks harder to kill, blit that may not be an altogether bad thing, By the way, when you’re done with this paper, don’t leave it lying around for someonb else to pick up. Put it in the garbage.

I’m Writing to you about an incident that occurred November 13 at Fed Hall.

To the editor,
by thq Student
Vocational

Advirrora
Neandrethal . . . that’s the word Rfchapd Belles, author of bestselling What Colour is Yaur Parachute, uses to describe the sophistication of the career planning process in North Anierica. How do we decide which career suits us best? Considering the sophistication of our scientific society, the methods that we employ in choosing a career tend to border on the mystical, the fatalistic, or just plain ineffective. We follow in the direction of what our parents have always wanted us to become.. . seeing as they’re paying for our education. Or a teacher (who really only saw one side of us) throws out a possible career that sounds interesting. Or maybe as a kid watching the seventh rerun of Emergency you decided you wanted to be a paramedic. Or maybe you simply chose a certain career bemuse you heard there was big money to be made in it. David Maister, assodiate professor at the Harvard Business School, has as his second laid of the job search: “Some people have been too busy ‘succeeding’ to figure out what success means to them. Don’t look for a job until you’ve thought it through.” The problem with the above approaches to choosing a career is that you are allowing someone else to define what success means to you , . . the occtipations the media chooses to glamourize, the values North American society places on you [ie. money) possibly the unfulfilled dreams of your parents which they want to fulfill through you. None of these.are likely to get you a career in which you will find fulfillment and enjoyment. Rather, they can le,ad to a . life of longing for five o’clock to roll around; But there is a better way. Exit Neandrethal. Enteri the Modern Man/Woman. You are a unique collection of gifts, talents-, special .knowledge, and personality. Consequently there is a career or job that suits you better than almost anyone else. The purpose of the career planning process is to help you to find out what this career ‘is which uses the unique blend of skills and knowledge which you possess. It is discovering what skills you do’well and enjoy doing. Hence it follows that a job which uses these skills ought to be enjoyable for you. Hence1 a life of getting paid for enjoying yourself. Fbr more information a’bout self-assessment, see the Student Vocational Advisor in yotir faculty, or read Richard Belles What Colour is Your Parachute (available at the campus Book Store). The Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory and Myers-Briggs test are both useful and interesting, they are available through Counselling Services. And finally, the Career Planning Annual, which was distributed with the Grad Kits at the Graduating Students Information Sessions contains some useful exercises which tiay give‘ some valuable insight into what kind of career would best suit. you.

Taking stock of stocks I’m writing in response to the editorial by Steve Kannon in the October 23 issue. In the editorial, Kannon argues [with no clear goal] that the stock market information available in most newspapers is irrelevant to the ‘average Canadian. J 1 would differ. While th& detail found in a local newspaper may not satiate a broker, an average stock holder can extract enough information to indicate when further ‘action may or may not be necessary. I wonder if Kannon underestijournalistic experience.s have made it seem irrelevant that The Wall Street Journal is the largest circulation newspaper in North America. It may be iveIl worth noting as
on the
market was merely a correction bringing the value of stocks, which had been inflated beyond their true value by the general good spirit of the market, back in:line. The companies are still doing well, and the economy is still growing. Perhaps paying a little closer attention will improve our educational backgrounds.

This week marks three years that I’ve been a Christian. In fact, it was three years on November 18. It’s been quite a change for me. I’ve done a lot of growing, and you know what, I wouldn’t change a minute of it! I can still remember the day I became a Christian. I had been invited to church by a friend of mine (a really good-looking friend made the invitation all the more interesting!] and we had arranged to go on one particular Sunday. It was Grey Cup Sunday that year and I remember distinctly how the pastor started his sermon: “Who knows what day this is?“. He got answers like the American Thanksgiving and a few other similar type responses; I can remember sitting in my seat (this church didn’t have pews, how weird) and thinking “I know, I know, it’s Grey Cup Sunday!” I didn’t put up my hand though, because of course that wouldn’t be the aniwer he wanted, after all, this was church! Well, I was wrong. The pastor was speaking on the holiness of the Sabbath day but he was presenting it from a different perspective than I’d I ever heard before. He was saying that tbe Sabbath should be a day devoted to God, but it didn’t absolutely have to be Sunday. He said that many people work on Sundays, like pastors, and so they have to take their Sabbath on another day, He tobk his on Monday. This was the fir&time Christianity tide-&ease to me! Over the years, I bad looked ‘at issues like Creation vs, Evolution:,or whether ,a~ not the flooc&~ould actualjy have happened and I kealized that neither side could be proven without a doubt. I haa come to th+ basic belief that I, an my own, was&going to be ‘abb to ,prove or dis rove either side, so I gave up trying, Now, that might seem rat K er simplistic to you-but I couldn’t see any other alternative. Christianity seemed so rule-oriented I didn’t want ta put myself into that kind of structure, yet science couldn’t give me any reason for continuing with the frustrations and hassles in my life. Now, finally, I was able to see Christianity in a different light (my apologies for capywrite violation, Chris). I could see God noI a$ giving rules for the sake of giving rules but as a God who loved me and wanted to give me things that would be good for me. In three years of Christianity, I have come to the point where 1 follow a lot of the rules [or at least some) that God has given me in the Bible. I am actually getting to the point where I am really glad that some of those rules exist. I have a lot of learning left to do, but, with God’s help, I’ll get through.

The role of universities has changed over themlast few years, Stubbs said. “The business community, government, and general public now share a heightened interest in universities.” Suddenly,. universities are seen as part of the solution, rather than part of the problem. Linking of the university and private sector has increased greatly, and the government has acknowledged this through policies such as funding centres of excellence, where basic research of real economic benefit is car-’ rie& on, Stubbs said, However, universities must not cater to the private sector so much so that they cut out curiousity-driven Fesearch, he said. “Universities may be steered away from diverse research by carrots. from @ustry and government. .1i Neither must students be “passive receptacles into which knowledge is poured, but rather active receptors. Otherwise the university is only involved in training, not education, Stubbs said. While at Wate’rloo, Stubbs was influential in developing Applied Studies, a program which combines a broad course range as well as co-op work experience. He served also as associate dean of Arts [special programs) and co-director of the Waterloo Centre for the New Oxford English Die tionary. Stubbs said a co-op education is beneficial in educating students, as they get a broad range of experience, can think critically, and have a better perception of ihe realities of the work-place.
CrosSinQ the gulf between
Prostitution
and Feminism l
On November 26, Laurie B&l, a feminist and editor of the Good Girls/Bad Girls: Sex Trade Workers and Feminists Face to Face, and Val Scott, a sex trade worker, will speak and answer questions on issues of controversy between feminists and sex trade workers. The talk/discussion will take pltice at the University of Waterloo, in room 124 of the Arts Lecture Hall at 7:3O p.m. Admission for the WPIRG-sponsored event is free.
from a women’s movement that has, they believe, ignored or disassociated itself from women who work as strippers, hookers, and porn artists. Indeed, they have accused feminists of not wanting to know or support them. Now sex trade workers are asking feminists to re-evaluate this attitude, hoping to prompt some changes in feminist analyses of and strategies regarding pornography and prostitution, Challenging Our Images: The Politics of Pornography and Prostitution took place in Toronto from November 22 to. 24,1985. It attracted over four hundred participants from various constituencies - the legal profession, social services, the labour movement, academia, and politics - in addition to-feminists and sex trade workers. The conference -consisted of five forums, which offered a range of panelists, bver thirty workshops, a performance night, information booths, and an “Images of Women” display, Good Girls/&d Girls comes out of the vast, amount of material presented at the conference. Many different voices were heard that weekend - those of lawyers, politicians, union repreaentaI tives, church members, social service workers, academics, historians, and artists - but I want you to hear the voices of those least heard in the past: sex trade workers and feminists speaking to one another. Although many topics were addressed at the conference from the influence of the church on sexorn the uality to gay and lesbian most significant accomplis K ment was the diicussion between “good girls” and, and sex trade “bad girls” - feminists wtlrkers. This book reconstructs that discussion,
The following article is excerpted from Laurie Bell’s introduction to Good/Girls Bad GirIs: Sex Trade Workers and Feminists Face to Face, released in October by the Women’s Press, Toronto. “You’re all a bunch of fucking madonnas!” That was how Peggy Miller, founder of the Canadian Organization for the Rights of Prostitutes [CCNP], described a group of feminists at a dinner in April 1985. A controversy had arisen during the planning by the March 8th Coalition of the 1985 International Women’s Day in Toronto, and the dinner had been arranged to continue this important discussion.
ail u bunch of fucking madotias”
=You’re
It all began, when. Miller and Chris Bearchell, another CORP member, attended a coalition meeting in February that year to object to the statement, which was to appear in a forthcoming International Women’s Day leaflet, that the porn shops along Toronto’8 Yonge Street were harmful to women.’ They argued CORP’s position - that this statement did not represent the views of women employed in the sex trade industry. After some discussithe coalition decided to delete the statement before : the leaflet went to press, but no one could have predicted the long-term implications of CORP’s objection, It generated countless meetings, several potluck dinners, many disagreements, a conference, and now this book. All of these constitute the beginning of alongoverdue discussion between sex trade workers and feminists in Canada. Duririg that April dinner the sex trade workers threw out two questions to the coalition: How could feminists and sex trade workers begin to talk with one another? And what would be the response of feminists to two government reports - the Report of the Committee on Sexual Offenses Against Children and Youth (Badgely Committee report, 1984) and the Report of the Special Committee on Pornography and Prostitution IFraser Committee report, lS85j. Thus the idea for the conference, “Challenging Our Images: The Politics of Pornography and Prostitution,” was conceived. The task of organizing the conference brought some femi‘nist and sex trade workers into each other’s lives. Differences in organizing styles, priorities, and even schedules were obvious. One woman’s working hours were another woman’s sleeping hours. But even though our worlds could be like night and day, some of us ventured cautiously into the others’ lives. Thus the “image challenging” that the conference meant to facilitate began during the actual organization, Sometimes it grew out of our co-operatioh with each other; sometimes it was a result of agonizing differences of opinion. One event demonstrated ‘to me the need for feminists to reconsider the way we relate to women who work in the sex trade industry. The occasion was et another dinner, a potlupk dinner - t E is time bringing together prostitutes and performers who were preparing pieces for the conference. We had hoped that the performers would benefit from meeting with the prostitutes and hearing some of their opinions and stories. First, I was struck by how risky it was for the prostitutes to meet with a group of strangers; the threat of bein revealed to the police must have loome Ei

Kitchen. Committee member Donna Fradley said that, in the past, the drives were often begun more into exam period and for this matter the level of participation has not always been as great as hoped. This years’ early November 16 starting date will provide enough time to promote awareness and ensure a successful campaign, said Fradley, who works at the Turnkey Desk. UW students are asked to show the surrounding region th%t, the university community cares. With generosity UW can make this year’s contribution to the drive its strongest showing ever,

area by buying out or signing options to buy with most of the residents who realize that their land is unsuited for development and want tg leave. Success in this objective will allow expansion of the cloud forest reserve from its current 10,000 acres to 30,000 acres during the next two years at a total cost of $400,000. Other Ion term objectives include stabi f izing and restoring forests on steep slopes of both the Atlantic and Pacific watersheds in the MonteVerde region establishing %n endowment fund for long term protection and maintenance as well as advancing a local environmental educational program. A grant-from the WWF and do7 nations collected at Monteverde have already made it possible to purchase eight square kilometres of forest this year. But MCL urgently needs money now to save this forest and its inhabit-
ants. A $25 cheque will buy up to 1.5 acres of virgin rainforest. There are few places on earth where a donation can preserve so much natural richness. as Monteverde. The cost of this .campaign is small, but the price of saving one of the most magnificent and least studied examples of a disappearing tropical future is unknown. The public response to date has been tremendous according to the WWF, and the money raised so far has enabled MCL to purchase 20,000 acres of the 30,$00 acres in this region. Anyone wishing to help preserve this tropical diversity can send donations to: The World Wildlife Fund, Monteverde Fund, 60 St. Clair Ave. E., Suite 201, Toronto, Ont., M4T INS. (4163 923-8173. There is also a Rainforest Action Group now in operation on the UW campus.

Many of the designers of this year’s Christmas fashion must have been inspired by their t;;tmothers’ photograph alsince the theme dates back io early 1900. Being resurrected for ultra-feminine Christmas dress wear are the satin-and-lace gowns in the yellowed pictures of your grandmother’s past.
in terms of colouration, most designers of these type of gowns have looked to the precedent set by the Prince Andrew/Sarah Fergesson wedding.

Authors. Erika Ritter and Ed Greenspan presented padings from theit new books November 9 at Waterloo’s Seagram Museum. *The overcapacity crowd, made up mostly of professionals and intellectuals, was evidently pleased with the combination of the two: Rit ter, weIl- known Canadian writer and former host of ‘_ CBC’s daily radio program “Dayshift”, and Greenspan, famous Toronto lawyer (defence counsel for the Helmut Buxbaum murder trial) and host of CBC’s radio program, “Scales of Justice”. Erika Ritter read from Ritter in Residence, a collection of comic stories. Ritter said that she enjoys writing in a comic form because it gives her freedom to play with ideas and take them “to an absurd degree”. In one of her comic sketches, in the form of a low-grade horror flick called Invasion of the Airline Stewardesses, she takes the language of flight at tendant s and applies it to a real life relationship, in which a perfectly nice, person is replaced by a robot-like one. The the great dismay of the husband, who eventually reports the strange behaviour to the local police officer [there is only one officer because it is a low-budget flick), his wife begins speaking like a stewardess. One night, during a domestic spat in the bedroom, the wife exclaims, “currently we are experiencing turbulence in our marriage”, and politely orders him to ensure that his undergarments remain securely fastened and that he kindly exit by the ftint door. Ritter said she feels it is important to build a close rapport with her reader, “a staple technique” she uses by creating a contrasting character that both can relate to and dislike, with the “understanding’ that we’re all failures together”. As a take-off on real man Ernest Hemingway, she created Myrna Hemmingstitch, one of the new REAL women of the counter movement to’33minism. Hemmingstitch recounts her travels through Europe tiith James Joyce. In France she wondered who cleaned all the windows at the palace of Versailles, and in Spain, she really enjoyed the bull fights, except for the crowds, blood, guts, gore and smell. She was upset at the great mess that was left/behind and questioned who would” have to
Thunderous by Renate Sander-Rsgier Imprint etaff Those who attended the per7 formance of the Dresden Staatskapelle at the Centre in the Square November 12, were lucky - not only did they experience the historical first concert of the Dresden Staatskapelle in Kitchener, they also heard a powerful and masterly interpretation

about his new book, The Case for the Defence. Greenspan strives to keep the legal system as honest and fair as possible and that is part of the philosophy behind writing the book. He is a prou’d Canadian and said that he is fed up with English and American criminals. Canadian criminals are “world-class criminals” and we have same great lawyers. too.” Greenspan decided to write‘ his autobiographical book now, at age 43, because his passions and memory are at their height+ He worked with his friend George Jonas, a Hungarian lyric poet, to write the book. It is an emotional reaction to crime and the justice system. Jonas, as a liberal rightswinger, provided o--different “perapective to Greenspan’s point of view. They had occasional disagreements, especially the campaigning against the return of the death penalty, while Jonas, a vehement supporter of capital punishment, had to remain at home to write the book. Greenspan received one letterin particular, from someone who formerly supported the death penalty and who had been persutided otherwise through his campaigning. Greenspan was delighted until he read the signature: Clifford Olsen. The object of The Case for the Defence is “to see what our justice system is about”. The book addresses people’s problems, questions of police power, and concerns with the parole system. He said his experience has taught him that “the parole system stinks” and that people lie, police officers and children alike, even when they have taken an oath. Greenspan said that, as a defence counsel, he has a social duty and obligation to defend the presumption of innocence and people “crap all over us when they say, how could you do this?” Everyone, ’ including his mother, asks him why he defends “these people”. (Maybe is is because hb got $1.3 million on the Buxbaum case.) He said that he felt it was time to discuss the role of a defence lawyer; This p book is not for other lawyers, it is “a book for the people”. Erika Ritter’s book, Flitter in Residence is available for $19.95, and Edward Greenspag’s book The Case for the Defence is available for $27.95. Both of the books are available at the University of Waterloo book store in South Campus Hall.

Strauss’ Romance, for Cello and O&hestra was next, with Jan Vogler as solo cellist. This young performer has, at 23 years, been 1st Concert Master of the violoncello and solo cellist with thb Dresden Staatskapelle since 1984. He was generously ‘applauded, and returned to the stage three times to bow, always with his cello in hand. Hans Vonk was appointed Principal Conductor of both the Dresden Staatskapelle and the Dresden State Opera in 1985. Since 1980 he has been Chief _ Conductor of The Hague Phil‘harmonic Orchestra. Both in the recording studio and on stage he maintains a high international profile. The Dresden Staatskapelle, besides being a symphonic or-
I
chestra, is also the orchestra of the Dresden State Opera. It has come a long way from it original function of furnishing music for banquets, church services, court festivals, weddings, balls, and funerals. It doesn’t, however, seem to have come a long way in equal I rights for the sexes. The predominantly male nature of the orchestra struck me when the musicians first took their seats. From where I was sitting, I could spot only three women; there might have been more. Equal rights aside, the performance of the Dresden Staatskapelle was im ressive. Let us hope that yjtc R ener will be iheluded in their next international tour.

Exposirig* the,trac& records -ofjchayrlatans - The Faith Healers Iames Run& Prometheus Roiks. by R+t
’
Day
James (the Amazing) Randi, magician and psychic critic par excellence and a man who caused more than just a little uncomfortable squirming with previous books like FJim FIam and The Magic of Uri Geller, has just lashed out with what is undeniably his [and anyone else’s, for that matter] most aggressive and brutal attack against legalized nonsense in his most recent ,work, The Faith Healers. In Randi’s company, the reader is introduced to the obscene luxury that the more re-
nowned healers surround themselves wiql - luxury illcludiug $8o@ooO homes, walk-in vaults with jeweIry display moms, fleets of custom Cad& lacs, @ma-bottle champagne and gold-plated bathroom fixtures. On the business end+ one gets a clear look at the sleazy tactics these people use to bilk the faithful -the crib sheets, the rayer cards filled out by the bef:‘evers before the service, the radio receivers, the confederates in the audience, the rented wheelchairs. r All 6f the bright lights tn televangeliam are represented; OraI Roberts+ Pat Robertson, Peter Popoff. AA. Allen, WV. Grant, Leroy Jenkins, Ernest Angley, all get their turn under the spotlight along with their track records.
And depressing track records they turn out to be, with unbelievable stories of’ diabetic members of the audience throwing away their insulinafter having been “healed” only to die within days, the blind having their sight restored to them only to be led out the same way they were led in, and the crippled who end up stranded at the front of the auditorium, unable to leave, their canes having been dramatically broken across the healer’s knee or heaved up on stage for the benefit of the television cameras. Even in the midst of the all the suffering, however, there is the occasional moment of unintentional hilarity. Among them is Randi’s description of evangelist
Richard Roberts [son of the in: famous “Gimme eight million bucks or I’m a goner” Oral) as ‘little more than the head of the damage control team whose task it is to follow the somewhat senile Oral. around and somehow try to explain his father’s claims that, among other things, he once spoke to a go&foot Jesus, he has raised the dead on more than one occasion and that, after he passes on, he will return with Jesus Christ to rule by his side. Heady stuff, this. Unfortunately, the lighter moments are few and far between. There is no doubt that the years of research culminating in the book were an emotionally draining experience for Randi, and it shows in the passion and force he uses in his,damning ac-
cusations of the hucksters who make their living off of the ain and misfortune of their fol Powera. Perhaps the most moving passage in the book is the dedication, to someone whose name Randi does hot even know2 There WQS a small boy on crutches. I do not know his mm& an.d I suspect I never will. But I will. never forget his face, his smile, his sorrow. He is one of the millions robbed of hope und dignity by charlatans discussed in this book. Wherever and whoever he is, I apologize to him for not huving been able to protect him from such+ an ex erience. I humbly dedicate t 1 is book to him and to the many others who hove suffered because the rest of us began caring too late.

Roger Waters’ November 10 concert at Hamilton’s Copps Co& scum can be summed up in one phrase: we must think about it. Waters and his Bleeding Heart Band have been on the road with the RnJiio KAcLf& show since August, and, while his former bandsmen herd their fans into stadiums across the continent, he prefers to play the smaller auditoriums, h iug to be more intimate with Tls - audiema Part of that intimacy is the phonein midway through, the concert.

UlC’s pogey ‘pogo Worth-the Wait by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff Is the intensity of the slamming and the a’mount of beer thrown around directly proportional to the quality of a live show? Nawww, probably not. Dumb lead-in. Forget I said anything. Things ‘were only just starting to heat up in the infernal depths of the City Hotel’s unventilated, unlit basement (which UW lifers might fondly remember as The Red Baron) when The Waiting Room took the. stage. It seems /that vocalist/guitarist Tim Ra-. tine (who’s been known to perform solo shows at TheCameron House in Toronto and attend
Tim
WLU in his free moments) finally came to his senses and abandoned the execrable Squatbox, quite possibly the most irritating, obnoxious band I’ve ever seen, rescuing his drummer in the process of forming his new band, “speed-folk” trio The ‘Waiting Room. The acoustic guitar strums somewhere between a purr and a jangle and the bass playing the role of a sort of melodic glue, their music is based on a sound this may seem like a shaky premise to form a band on, but it’s a sound you can easily fall in loye with. Subtle, yet rapturous chord-changes form the melodies - they’re certainly n& carried in Racine’s singing,

probably the band’s only visible weakness. Instead of trying to add more texture to the music, his scabrous vocals too often tried to overpower the music which really only distracted from its genuine beauty. But when he harnessed his singing on their finale, a cover of The Velvet Underground’s Heroin, the results wefe stunning, the quivering chill.of his voice capturing the eerie ecstasy of the lyrics and the *band launching into the rising and falling dynamic’s of the VU classic with tingling compulsion. About here, I guess I’m supposed to say something about The Waiting Room being a “promising” band, but if the singing improves, their future should be ROW. If you’re a sucker for American guitar-pop like Miracle Legion or Guadalcanal< Diary, or something with a Feelies feel, try hanging around the Waiting Room. We had a name for guys like UIC back in high school who came from one-gas-station towns with names like Cayuga, Nelles Corners, and Fisherville - grunts. Y’know, dudes with long hair, leather vests, Harley caps who spent their weekends drinking 50 in their pickups whose only contact with culture was the stuff growing on the beards. There is a big difference - we woulda got the shit kicked out of ‘us if tie had tried to take out their Sabbath or Maiden tape and slip in some old Iggy and the Stooges or Ramones. UIC lives, this stuff, and they don’t let you forget it either. Three-chord wonders buzzed with more ferocity than a hive full of riled-up bees for over an hour with only one change in terhpo - from fast to faster.

Jeff Healey and hid band were upstaged by the venue when they performed at Stages in Kitchener November 12. Unfortunetely for Healey, Stages was more exciting at times than his band. About Stages: Stages has quite the light show on the dance floor complete with jets of smoke, descending/ascending *laser light displays, computerized search lights and, of course, the requisite strobe lights. Stages, for those who don’t *know, is a new nightclub that has opened up .on King Street where a movie theatre used to be. This transition has given Stages a very interesting interior. There are three levels from which the dance floor and the stage are visible - reminiscent of the’Eaton Centre. Back to Jeff Healey. Jeff is very quick to point out that his music is more than just blues: he describes his music as rock and blues. More of a return to real gut -level rock and roll. Stevie Ray Vaughn stuff. The show last week was a good exhibition of that. The show consisted of Jeff Healey wailing away ad nauseani on his guitar, There were a number of problems that night. The worst was the terrible acoustics in Stages. The drums

There w.ere other problems that night. Although Jeff did all the standard guitar antics the stage show was a bit lackluster, his being blind probably accounts for some of this.

Calenture The Triffids Island Records (Import)
by Paul Done Imprint staff A .tropical fever Calenture. may be, however, the music of The Triffids seems far more suited to the chilly expanses of lonely moors and the interiors of towering cathedrals. In the past, The Triffids have always fashioned a full, yet somehow spacious sound. ‘On Calenture the fullness has become a symphonic vastness created by instrumentation which rushes outward, soars upward and swirls in and around itself. Jill Birt’s churchy organ ascends, Alsy MacDonald’s bass drum echoes and rolls like thunder across a prairie, “Evil” Graham Lee’s pedal steel insinuates and twists around David McComb’s desperate lyrical wordscapes, violin and viola claw toward the heavens while, guitar and bass keep time for this forced march through the wilderness of loss, confusion and searching. The music .never seems encumbered nor shackled into repetitiveness by ali this instrumental weight. Epic musicalgestures abound yet, there is still lightness of touch which ‘can produce the wistful Trick of The Light or Holy Water, Kelly’s Blues and Vagabond Holes are howls of paiRand outrage, Save <What You Can is gentle and ’ re-. signed. The central concerns of Dairid McComb’s songwriting may be loss and torment, but the characters he creates are far removed from conventional romantic themes found in pop music. Nor are they in any way related to,t he
pain-by-numbers drudgery’ of Jesus & Mar Chiin and their blackO-eye P inered cohorts. Whether the 10000-year old British Museum swamp man of ]erdacuttup Man or the wanderer, who has returned ato watch his hometown burn down in Hometown Forewell Kiss, the vagabonds and lost souls who live in David McComb’s songs are a legion unto themselves. Like sailors suffering from Calenture who imagine the seas to be green fields and desire to leap into them the characters in these songs long for immersion and redemption. The redemption may be an illusion, but even an illusion offers solace for a while. From Bury Me Deep In Love which pleads Take me in/ Under you skin/ Bury Me Deep in Love to Blinder By The Hour; with your skin for sheets to Unmade Love - Your body that once wrapped around me like a mist the desire to be totally engulfed in love recurs thropghout Calenture. Jercfacuttup’ Man, Caleature’s most unusual lyrical image, may be the most affecting on the album. Magically, David McComb transforms a 10000 year-old man, preserved in a peat bog, and now on display in the British Museum, into a living sympathetic character. When he recounts how They stitched up my eyelids so I couldn’t see/They sewed up my mouth so very carefully he brings genuine emotional impact to bear. Sometime after Christmas, Calenture will become the first Triffids record released in Canada, though it is their 5th album, With the helpaf Gil Norton at the production board, The Triffids have crafted a unique pop epic of undeniable emotional resonance. As close as pop has come to th’e booming echo of a pipe organ in a towering cathedral.

Not only is it about our country’s greatest hero since ,Gordie Howe and Terry Sawchuk, but even Wendel’s [pray that his-back gete better real soon) name has that Robert Service/Yukon epic ring to it - ie. The Ballad of Chris Kotsopolous just wouldn’t be the same at all, Martin Tielli almost turns Pt. 1 into a CCR swamp song before Dave Bidini sez “enough of this” and invokes the ghost of Stompin’ Tom Connors, bringing back cherished memories of Dave Hedge, Jacques Plante, and telling your dad.sure, you’ll get up early for church tomorrow morning if oniy he’ll let you stay up to watch the third period of Hockey Night In Canada.And how’s this for a checkered-shirt classic chorus: “Wendel was t’he man &th B stick in his
Greatest Hits The Rheostatics X Records
by CHris Wodekou Imprint staff The Rheostatics have been slogging it out in the backwoods o.f Etobicoke and the beerslops of Queen Street since, geez, it seems like since The Leafs last won the Stanley Cup. A lot of thin’gs have happened over the years, like a fling with James Brown funky soul and, in their current incarnation, these four puck-worshipping hosers are going to make fishin’ in Muskoka as hip as SCTV reruns if they have their way. And for at least one song on their ironically titled debut,
hatid/ Who learned how to play in Kelvington, S-A-S-K./ Y&d wish that you had died when Wendel has your hide/ Because he does it the Canadian way.” Wended and song-titles like Delta 88 and Ditch Pigs are so cool that you can’t help but want to love this album, but just too much of Greatest Hits sounds like it could be the theme music for The . Beachcdmbers. The acoustic-folk of Public Square% crisis of faith work pretty well as do the straightforward rockers Higher and Higher and Canadian ‘Dream, but The Rheostatics, while their energy and good intentions come across well live, simply lack the songcraft and inspiration for consistently entertaining vinyl. Maybe if we all hope real hard, The Ballad of Wendel Clark will come out as a single with Eddie Shick-doing guest vocals and we can all splurge on that. _

Jlirgo’s first novel well-WttenSelakhi . Sean Virgo (Toronto: Exile Editions, 338 pps. - $26.95 by Tom
’
19873
York
Sean Virgo, well known in Canada for his poetry and finely crafted sh-ort stories, has at age 47 published his first novel. It is finely crafted as well, but so den-.
sely written as to be nearly impenetrable. The task, facing the reviewer of such a navel is similar to that faced by reviewers of Utysses ih 1022. A young nature mystic, filled with hatred of the middle class and contempt for civilization, transcribes his observations of the South Sea island on which he finds himself. It is, aind is not, Eden, and the main tension in the novel is what Darien brings with
him from the civilization-he left behind. That, of course, is considerable, but doesn’t lend itself to dramatization. So, like firstman, he names his surroundings. His pipe he names Barnaby, his knife Tybalt, his alter-ego, Toady. Toady “deals in revenge, not grief. One day we’ll murder him; Darien shall be free.” I shall call this motif No. 1. Toady is Darien’s civilized self, Bindy [the blackstone cock
of a wooden idol) his n’atural one. Bindy’s Way: Renounce all ties that deflect loyalty from anything but the Tune, the Dance, the God in ,yourself. Then run riot .” I,shall calljhis motif No. 2. Finally, “The . urge to turn back” I shall call motif No. 3. These motifs are wovei throughout the novel in a complex of musical forms, cultural rites, and arcane lore, symbolist-in tone, serial (as in 12-tone music) in method. Ultimately they are resolved in what I shall call the leit-motif: “We shall honow the moon, bow to the CUTrents, set up images of the winds. The sun turns on our spit or is only an abstraction. Whatever we decide.” Selakhi is reminiscent of Melville’s Types, where the youthful fugitive from a whaling ship, whenever he longs to leave his
South Sea isle and go home, develops a mysteriously crippling pain in orie leg. Civilization is a pain in the ass, Melville seems to be saying. Selakhi begins where Typee leaves off. ’ Virgo demands much of his reader, but there is a finicky preciousness, too, about his parodic style, What, for example, is the reader to make of: - ‘Don’t tease him, Monica’ Joy “chides gently”, and Father wears a tolerant face. Or of this: Exhaling dust in the face of the marionette/indifferent punters, fancy with nothing at stake, , . Exhaling dust - pencil. Or what of these curiosities: “complexion,” “Father ‘wrings’ his hand”? The self-conscious wordplay at work in this novel is not joyContinued on page 24

FILM NOTES - The York Quay Centre at Harbourfront is having a festival of films by the late Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky, from November 23 to 29. PICKS - I suggest you go see My Life As A Dog next week at the Princess, and The Ballad of Narayama sounds worthwhile. Triumph Of The Will should be seen. The objective junkie in Withnail And I at the Gorge is amusing. Finally, I’d like to see the German’ film AtnerL can Soldier at WLU on Tuesday, if I’m not busy. I have to apologize for. the listings for Fed Hall. I’ll try to work it out. Just be aware that there is a theme every week [Monday to Friday) and that on nights when bands play, there will be no film. If you’re considering going over for a film at 6, just call ahead.

Searchina for new configurationsof w
by Renate Sander-Rsgier Imprint ataff The title of Linda Hutcheon’s illustrated lecture, The Postmodern Erotic, was bound to attract a, fair-sized audience, and it did. I don’t think anybody who was at the lecture regretted attending. Hutcheon dealt with the erotic in this postmodern age characterized by “fear of disease and fetishization of fitness”, or, as she quotes from Arthur Kroker, “panic sex” and “designer bodies.” Feminisms, she says, have had ‘,a powerful impact on the postmodern.” They have focussed on “the construction of the sexed object.” We have consequently become aware of “the very culture-spercific nature. of the erotic.” Hutcheon points out, for example, that there is no entry for erotic or eroticism in the Encyclopedia -Britannica. Yet La Grande Encyclopedie Larousse devotes four pages to the subject. History is a part of the culture specification, and, as Angela Carter (the writer who, for Hutcheon, best exemplifies theproblematizing of desire and of the erotic for women and men) has stated, “Flesh comes to us out of history; so does the repression and taboo that governs our experience of the flesh.” Art. in history is the focus of what has been dubbed as The New Art History, “the study of the visual representations in art
---
the erotic
-----
of not only women, but also everything from the poor to landscapes.” Hutcheon concentrated on the erotic and its politicization. “No image is, in and of itself+ erotic; it is only so when it is articulated with others in a complex discursive formation in a particular society.” This, according to Hutcheon, is “the lesson of postmodernism.” Postmodern art “inscribes the erotic conventions of representation of women, provokes our conditioned response, and then subverts that response, making us aware of how it was induced in us. We have to feel the seduction in order to questionit and then theorize the site of that contradiction.” Even. high art can’t feign innocence. Angela Carter has suggested that perhaps eroticism is only the pornography of the elite, -And the female body is almost always the focus. “The female body is neither neutral nor natural; it is figured, inscribed in a system of difference in which the male dominates; gender is a division of power, and the female body is the locus of power politics.” To support her points, Hutcheon drew on the following writers: John Berger, Angela Carter, Susan Daitch, Maxine Hong Kingston, and Audrey Thomas. To literally illustrate her lecture, Hutcheon at least mentioned, if not showed slides from, the works of Komar and Me-
lamid, Mel Ramos, Ingres, Sylvia Kobowski, Martha Rosier, Barbara Kruger, Victor Burgin, Sherrie Levine, Cindy Sherman, Titan. The lecture moved from Baudelaire’s Block Venus poems (inspired. by his mulatto mistress, Jeanne Duval), which in turn inspired Angela Carter’s short story, Black Venus, to Manet’s OIympia and the various parodies it inspired. -Hutcheon describes the gaze of Manet’s Olympia as “unabashed,‘; this model, a wellknown prostitute of the .day, does not”allow the male viewer to spy on her about her daily business in the bath,” Olympia is reclining, but she “offers none of the semiotic signals of the comeon:the tilted head, the indirect glance, the languid posture.” Cezanneinserts the male viewer into his A Modern Olympia, while Picasso, in his parody, goes one step further and depicts himself and a friend leering at a black Olympia. Mel Ramos, Larry Rivers, Michel Delluc, and Victor Burgin also offer versions of Manet’s “problematized image of woman in our culture.” Hutcheon concludes that the postmodern age “requires a different notion of the erotic - in all its particularized forms: female, male; hetero-homosexual; all races, all classes.” And unfortunately the postmodern “offers no new configurations of the erotic.” Feminism will take the next important step.

Hoo do6 hosts I hompson I
by Peter Lewson Imprint staff .
After witnessing the pre-opening show of Wolfman Washington in early September, I decided it was time to revisit the Hoodoo Lounge and scoop the blues’ scene. The Hoodoo Lounge -is the new home of SOBA (Southern Ontario Blues Association] - on the second floor of the Mayfair Hotel in beeeautiful downtown Kitchener.
Also returning to Kitchener, but for a first show at the Hoodoo, Ron Thompson+ guitar licker extraordinare, played for three nights from November 12 to 14. Ron Thompson and the Resisters jammed the Kitchener Legion Hall (the old haunt of SOBA) better than six months* ago; I could not miss his return; But who is Ron Thompson? Certainly not a big name like Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, or Ro- bert Cray, but as a guitar player he easily equals their talents. Raised in the San Francisco Bay area, he gained his blues ed-
ucation by touring with the John Lee Hooker group and by practicing his butt off. Today he still calls the Bay area home and tours North America with his own rhythm sectiori, His playing is superb - musical ideas aplenty and, complete command of every pace. He can move from a swingingballad to a ripping speed-demon riff - like warp-factor-8 (“But captain she can’t hold .it any longer.” “Don’t worry Scatty, Ron can hold it .‘*I, For the Saturday night [Nov, 14) show, Thompson opened for his own band. He took a chair on stage and stomped out three classic blues numbers on his National Steel Body (acoustic). Playing Walking Blues (by Robert Johnson - king of the delta blues], Milk Cow Blues, and Scoop Down, Ron had absolute command of the audience with his wicked licks and stomp sound - an incredible feat for a solo artist. Moving over to piano, his band joined him on stage and bashed out some rockin’ blues and rock
‘n’ roll. But ‘the energy in the band really jumped when he moved back to his guitars. Since his last visit, he has brought together a new band. About two months ago he began to work with Russel Jackson on bass and Tony Coleman on drhms. These. young cats originally from the south, having done time with O.V. Wright and B.B. King, joined Ron in the Bay area. They added sound support and-even showed their vocal talents; Russel Jackson displayed a fine voice which would push out a solid soul sound.

by Carol Cambre Imprint staff The Jesus and Mary Chain performance Sunday gave a whole new world of meaning to the words fucked ,up! As if it wasn’t enough for the audience to be put into a comatose state by the opening band, Bolshoi, JMC insisted. on intensifying this condition by behaving like utter assholes on st’age at Toronto’s RPM. Bolshoi catie on stage at 9 p.m. to face more than 1,000 sweltering punks and assorted psychedelics and one preppie. Although the show was for all ages, only a handful of youngsters attended and that was a good thing. ’ Well, Bolshoi played five or six songs but received little or no response from the sleeping crowd, Besides having a Cult influence in their kmusic they were described as being “heavy mellow” meaning that the sound was loud but there wasn’t much substance to it. The experience could be compared to biting into a piece of
Mary
Chain
gum that explodes with flavor for the first few chews and, to your dismay, promptly decides to dissolvb in your mouth. Due to the pdor response of the crowd, the lead singer spewed stupid comments li’ke “one more soig you’ll be glad to hear that” and “Thank-you for coming here I don’t mean that.” It &as certainly a relief when they left the stage. On top of the fact that Bolshoi only played for 20 minutes, JMC kept the audience waiting until 10% before they decided to stumble on stage. Even then, numerous delays ensued. While the sedate crowd waited, an absolutely polluted Jim Reid tried to get his microphone to work. Finally the sound was somehow turned on and JMC began with The Living End. Deafening, buzzing feedback, a feature for which the band is well known, filled the crammed club and, if you wanted to take your life into your hands and iisit the bathEoom, you would literally feel the intense feedback vibrating off the walls. 1

Part of the mob began to slam dance at the. front as the overdriven souhds of Happy When It Rains and April Skies were vomited from the lousy sound system. Of course there were two-minute gaps between songs when the band consulted and tried to decide what to play.

When they did, they would turn on the drum machine (yeah, no drummer here] and Reid would support himself on the microphone stand looking like a wilted leaf and begin to.. . sing?

The conten of the concert was about half old and half new .As they ended with Kill Surf City things really began to get ugly. Reid, who had decided he just wasn’t drunk enough, and had had a stage hand bring him a, six-pack on stage, first tossed a beer bottle into the crowd and then,seeing how much fun it was, threw a broken bottle at some of the people near the front who

Needless to say, the bottle found a target, Apparently, even this couldn’t satisfy Reid and a couple of guys jumping up and down at the front received stinging blows from the microphone stand. What?! Yup, with the mike in one hand, Reid actually had the co-ordination to pick up the stand and make shit fly. It was surprising but the crowd stayed generally mellow and when the lights ‘went on, they quietly filed out. The parking lot was another story. On& of those injured parties had parked behind the band’s bus so that they couldn’t leave until the police arrived. Until then however, Reid kept busy at the window making obscene gestures at those outside. He is to appear in court on February 17 and has paid a $2,000 bail.

dus as it is in Joyce ,nor impish as in Becket’s work. Virgo takes his characters seriouslv. His main character, Qarien, is’ drunk with words; words seethe in him and their utterance soothes him. He is an earnest conjurer, a combination rarely encountered outside Bergman’s early movie, The Magician. ’ Selakhi, then, is a twentiethcentury Typee in which the youthful Darien breaks with his father (civilization), rfiakes it with the South Sea island girl (culture], and at the end is eaten Virgo would say “becomes byone with” - a shark (nature). To put it thus baldly is unjust, because what happens in the novel is merely a vehicle for the finelytuned song being sung. It is as if the Peter Mathiessen of Fsr Tortuqa teamed up with the early W.

Rather than narrative drive; we are given a highly stylized sensibility observing everything Rather than interest in the story, Virgo asks us to see -through his eyes, His eyes, in Sela&i, are named “Darien”.

Things aren’t quite as hectic this week as we’ve seen ‘em before, and that’s no bad thing because our eardrums are all shot &d we could use a bit of relaxation for a change. But that’s no licence for complecency round these parts for any selfrespecting hipster or even the vaguely interested. First of all, a couple of carryovers from earlier this week namely, The King And I plays at Centre in the Square until Sunday night and you can still catch your friends in UW Drama Department’s production of C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch, And The Wardrobe and also discover that the proip don’t have that much over a bunch of students. You can find ‘em at the Humanities Theatre tonight and tomorrow night. If you take that ‘left turn at Albuquerque and find yourself at Theatre of the Arts on Friday ‘night, you might just want to check out the Arts Centre’s presentation of Einstein which we understand is a play about some German scientist or something, but hey, we write ,Arts, not Science so don’t get on our case for being ignorant. Musically, well, thingb aren’t quite so quiet this weekend after all, what with RobertNo11 putting a spell ori The Hoodoo ‘Lounge in this weekend’s Southern Ontario Blues Association show tonight and tomorrow.

If you’re a gambling man, you’re probably broke after last weekend’s Naismith Basketball Classic, held at the PAC. The mighty fell, and the meek rose, in what proved to be a nailbiting and’ often puzzling weekend of roundball. In the end, the Acadia Axemen took the title with a 91-67 lambasting of Waterloo. The wild card selectors who overlooked the Axemen last winter must be turning various hues of red this was the Axemen’s second title in as many weeks. The Classic opened as expected, that is, Laurier got trounced. Eventual champs Acadia stomped the Hawks, 97-73, as Peter Morris’ silk shooting touch racked up 32 points. The heavily favoured Brandon Bobcats came with their jams, high-fives and finger rolls, resembling something out of an
roar -to ,Naismith NCAA hi-lite film. But on Friday, the Western Mustangs almost sent Brandon consolation bound. In the-barnburner of the weekend, the Bobcats prevailed in a double overtime marathon, 103-101. Ironman John Stiefelmeyer single-handedly dismantled Brandon with 39 points. Tulane castoff Whitney Dabney (24 points] and Robert Clarke (23 points) paced the BobcAts.
in Saturday’s semi-final, the Axemen sent a loud message to the top 10 selectors as they upset Brandon, W-85. Acadia”s frontcourt panzer unit led by tourney MVP Kevin Veinot (28 points], was too much for,the street ball of “Twin Towers”, Patrick Jebbison (24 points] and Ejabney (18 points). in another Friday shocker, St. Francis Xavier X-Men toppled the top-5 contending Regina Cougars 85-82. Quarterbacked by Michael Jordan protege Augy Jones, the X-Men stunned the lethargic Cougars. The only Cougar who came-to play was Chris

The varsity team spoiled it1 with a.I thrilling. 16-15 m-1 _. wcrory to even tne series at two victories apiece. Leading the alumni team was the Warriors’ all-time leading scorer, and legendary five-time OUAA all-star John Saabas. Other familiar faces were former coach and three-time OUAA ailstar Mike Oberemk, former MatchSoc president Ross Morrisey, four-time team ‘captain Steve D’eon, current .OWPA First V.P.

for player, they had the best roster in the tournament, but never performed as a team. Despite their disappointing weekend, the Bobcats are still a team to be feared. As UW coach Don McCrae quipped, “everyone was still looking out of the corner of their eye at Brandon.” The sluggish Cougars left their game back on the prairies - they never did get on track. The XMen with the Wade (Smith), Otis (Delaney] and Augy Show at guard, surprised many at the tourney. Meanwhile, hard-luck Queen’s ran their string of last- , minute losses to six games. As anticipated, Laurier was left in the dust once again. Perhaps McCrae summed up the weekend best when he commented, “this was one OUF best Naismith’s in years, the fans got see three or four te&ms who’ll be champions of their leagues.” On a closing note, f’d like to extend my deepest regrets to anyone who followed my fearless picks in last week’s Imprint. In the first round, I was an anemic l-for-4. I guess 1 ‘should stick to tractor-pulls and Wrestlemania.

by Mike McGraw Imprht staff It was just like old times at the PAC last weekend. Expected by many to be turfed in the early rounds, the Waterloo Warriors stormed to the championship game of the 20th annual Naismith basketball classic. Unfortunately, the title game proved to be a humbling experience, as the Warriors were thrashed 91-67 by the Acadia Axemen, “We went into this tournament about the sixth or seventh best team,” said UW coach Don McCrae. “And we came out second or third best ,” G However, in Friday night’s opening round match, Waterloo appeared to be on an excursion for the consolation round. In an offensive famine, the Warriors squeaked pa&t the Queen’s Golden Gaels, 58-56. Waterloo shot a nauseating 33 per cent from the field. Waterloo was lucky to escape the first half trailing 35-3~. Trampled beneath both boards by goons Mike Scotten and James Reynolds, the Warriors fell behind by 11 at one point. Free throws were the only shots UW was able to sink as it closed the gap by intermission. The second half was a night‘marish display of offence by both teams. Queen’s caught the Warrior shooting plague ,as‘ the half progressed, allowing UW.to stay close. Fans had to wonder if a medicine ball was being used as brick after brick eluded the basket. Only a storybook ending gave the capacity crowd something to remember, With one second remaining, Jamie “Elvis” McNeil1 drove’ home a thunderous dunk to bre’ak a 58-56 deadlock and propel Waterloo4nto the semi-finals. Rob Froese paced Waterloo with 20 points, while Tom Schneider chipped in 15. Scotten led Queen’s with 15. “The boys were so high they came out flat. We were stumbling around by the end, but Queen’s lack of depth left them more exhausted.” Saturday night attracted another boisterous crowd to the PAC, as UW faced the St. Francis Xavier X-Men. Waterloo pulled a classic Jeckel and Hyde from Friday, obliterating the X-Men, 9275.
Surfing on a wave of emotion from Friday’s game-ending drama, the Warriors steamrolled to a 52-35 .halfti&e lead and never looked back. At one point
in the second half, UW led by 26. The story of the night was McNeill. Like a man on a mission, he drove home 19 points and snagged 10 rebounds. From out of nowhere, sopho-

Axemen coach Dave Nutbrown called the Waterloo crowd “a legitimate sixth man,“’ He added, “it’s tough to play in this place, but we got progressively better as the weekend went on.” Said McCrae, “our youth showed in our exhaustion, and their front line went to work at both ends. Acadia got sn.ubbed by the top 10 selectors last season;but they have the most experien’ced front line in the count rv,” Despite the impressive showing, McCrae says his club is still way behind the other teams in the tournament. “We’ve got much (younger players, and with all the injuries we’ve had, we’re still at about October 15.

We, the intrepid Imprint curling team, lurked over to Ayr (the capital. of South-Western Ontario] to get our ‘rocks off‘ in the first annual fall RonSpiel. We skidded into the parking lot just in time to face our first opponents with no warm up time or any practice. As I was our team’s skip,. it was up to Ime to formulate 0 sound team strategy. Seeing how none of us had any experience, and that the winners of each game buy the losers drinks, I came up with a good plan - ‘Lose to Win’. We played a most awesome first game. I managed to score our one and only point of the game. We lost in a most gracious way to our admirable opponents by a close score of 10-l. My tactic held true as they took us down to the bar, bought a round of drinks, and shot the shit. We were learning curling etiquette. Unfortunately for us, we didn’t try hard enough to loose our second game and ended up winning 4-2. ,Our second round opponents were not as amiable as our first and they just took the drinks we gave them and pissed ofIf. What happened ,,to the etiquette? We didn’t care though because we were too occupied with an orgy of beer, caps, and ice cubes fIying through the air in what was supposed to be the world‘s largest ‘Caps’game. Julie Cosgrove,. initiator of this major event, both the BonSpiel and the Ca s game, sat on the floor semiine Y3rieted and loo king rather silly in her little baby doll PJ’s urging those c# us who were sitting off to the side to joinin on the game. For our final game we faceh a far more competent team &an ours- they could hold their liquor much better, But fear not; we put up a good fight. We lost my great strategy and played’ to win. Our fearless 3st, Anna Done, stopped ‘hoggin ’ the hocks and threw some we1 f placed blocks. John. Hymers, our 2nd, put _ out and, scored some points to narrow the margin. All in all, as a team we ,really c&me together and Pulled off some great moves consildering that none of us had even held-a broom before. Unfortunately, all 0f our last ditch efforts were in vain and we lost 4-2. We ca&e in second last. For those of you who never took culling seriously before [like myself before Saturd y} think again. It really is a f un sport that is a good time to spend with friends or making new orles.

CIAU SOCC-E.R. FINIS Last weekend (Nov.14&15) the Warrior Soccer Action News Team went to Montreal to watch the CIAU soccer finals. After driving through Toronto’s Friday night’ rush hour the lads picked up the pace, evaded all radar nets, and made it to Montreal in time to check in at their sheltering spot for the weekend. Luckily for the news team our hostess’ abode was much more than satisfactory as she did not mind sharing her bedroom with four soccer players, three‘ of whom she had never met before. After aTearly night, the team
struck out for the Stade Molson, the location of the weekend games. In game one of the championships U Vie beat UNB 1-O. We got there late and missed the goal. UNB was outplayed for most of ‘the game and the final score was indicative of U Vie’s domination. The highlight of this chippy game occurred in the second half when a UNB forward kicked the U Vie goalie in the head. Not only did the UNB player not get reprimanded by the referee the U Vie players also did nothing. The 1987 Warrior soccer team may not have had much success in the points de-

. Campus Ret There were six teams that made it to the playoff games on the weekend of November I. The results of the quarte,r finals were the elimination of the West End Girls by Conrad Grebel by a score of 21-0, while the Notre Dame Untouchables received a bye on account of the Scramble Squad default. Conrad Grebel went on to defeat the St.Paul’s 49era U-O, and at the same time the Kinners beat Notre Dame by a score of 6-O in the semi-finals. The two teams left to battle for the championship were Conrad Grebel and the Kihners. Conrad Grebel was the first to score and it looked like it could be an upset, but the Kinners tied it up before time ran out. Then, in the first few minutes of overtime, Monica Preiner got her team six points, but Conrad’s Krista Steinmann tied it up again. The game was finally decided in sudden death overtime with a touchdown by the Kinners. It was a hard game to lose, but the Conrad Grebel team members were good sports abobt it.
Men’s basketball As one of the most popular Campus ret sports, there has been a lot of alction in the basketball leagues this term. The A league saw the only two undefeated teams face off in the final game of the season. Paul Shafer and the Band defeated, the Hounds in what may be a preview to the men’s basketball I final. The B league revealed only three undefetited teams out of 36 teams. The Pink Flamirigos, The 2A Team and North E were ranked first, second and third at the start of the playoffs on November 15. The skill appears to have improved over past terms as some of the more experienced teams have not done as well as they usually do.
Congratulations go to the Kinners, who are now the 1987 women’s flag football champions.
