The University* of W as opted not to join a national university self-insurance plan next year. "Uncertainties" were cited as a fundamental factor in the decision by the university's executive council and management board. UW is the only hold-out in Ontario a s 45 colleges and universities have joined the plan. The plan was set up because universities, which faced f,ew

“Life in the movement is like living in a prison”, said Joram Goagoseb at the November 18 meeting of the UW chapter of Amnesty International. The movement is SWAPO, the Southwest African Peoples’ Organization. The Namibian liberation movement is opposed to the South African control of its homeland but has degenerated into an organization fraught with the chaos of internal power struggles. “SWAP0 is fighting the South Africans in Namibia to have their own rights, but human rights in the organization are non-existent ,” said Coagoseb who charged that SWAP0 cornhits the same atrocities against the people they are defending as the people they are fighting. The evidence forces a ’ re-evaluat ion of who to support in opposing South African’ apartheid. He asked the audience to consider if support for SWAP0 “is being used for peaceful means, violent means, or torture.” Even the front-line states are guilty of complicity’ with SWAPS, he said:. “Whatever m a happens, happens in the front-

Censorship Iby

’

Soon, every.mother’s son and daddy’s girl will be protected, so long-as they remain in Canada, from naughtiness. The Government of Canada is convinced that sex is unclean, and is prepared to back up that upinion with force. . Bill C-54, now in its second reading, attempts to distinguish between “erotica” (the static depiction of +‘ahuman sexual organ, a female breast or the human anal region”) and “pornography” (the same as erotica, but in motion: depiction of any sexual action, eg.,‘intercourse, or masturbation, orany sexually suggestive scene involving a minor). Under Bill C-54, a writer’s notebook+ an artist’s sketchpad, or even a child’s doodle could be used in evidence that the author is ‘a dealer in porn. Further,‘the words “female breast+’ are more encompassing than the French “des seins de la femme.” Depicting this anatomical item, under Bill C-54, is a no-no in French or in English. . What if such things occur in a novel that purports to be art? The onus to prove artistic merit is on the artist. One remembers D.H. Lawrence, James Joyce, Henry Miller, all of whom fared badly in book trials+ and the burden of.proof was wt on them, but on the prosecution. If our courts do engage in this absurd exercise, the prosecution ,‘should have to prove the “absence of artistic merit.” One might also point out the omission of the word j’knowingly” from the definition of offences under Bill C-54 dealing with children ‘in pornography, exhibition of erotica to persons under 18, and display of erotica, But will this bill, if passed into law, curtail your Saturday night kicks at the flicks? Not on your life! Violence is the new pbrnography, and Bill C-54, which’ panders to the blandly provinCia1 rairie Canadian, wouldn’t dare tangle with HolPywood’s major export - Sam Peckinpaw-style mega-kills. Kommando, Ran&o, The Hitcher, and any other movie in which people are depicted as only mutilating each other, blowing up each other, or burning each other alive - in short, violent films, no matter how violent - are safe. This doesn? mean that I think another bill should be addressed to violent films. It means I think

leged that spies controlled this group; Goagoseb countered: “They’re not spies. They’re victirns of South Africa.” These allegations are SWAP0 propaganda he claiined. This propaganda includes a video tape, aired on the BBC, that attempts to justify SWAPO’s human rights violations, and prove the allegations that spies have penetrated the movement by showing confessions extracted under torture. In his homeland, reported Goagoseb, “Namibiahs are killing Namibians”: males as young as 16 are .conscripted into the South African supported Namibian Territory Force, the area’s largest employer, and are given money to kill SWAP0 members. No hope is seen in the conditions induced by the South African occupation of Namibia. The actions of South Africa, such as the bombing of refugee camps in Zambia, have had no small effect on the mentality of SWAPO’s leadership, he said. After SWAP0 gets Namibia, it will solve its internal problems, the result of which will be more refugees and civil war, predicted Goagoseb. Unless an international agency monitors the organization, “it’s going-to be very , dark before the dawn”.

line states. They are not blind.” However, “the choice is SWAPO, but it trwzttbe made accountable for human rights violations to an independent investigatin,g body,+’ he said. He urge-d Amnesty International to accept the role of the independent body. Goagoseb’s involvement with SWAP0 came to an end in 1985 after a falling out with the organization’s leqdership. Goagoseb said he could no longer accept the leaders+irresponsibility over the fate of fellow Namibians who had been branded spies, who had “disappeared” and who had been executed: “who gives SWAP0 the right to take the life of anyone; they ark not a nation.” Power struggles within the organization led to allegations that spies working for South Africa had infiltrated SWAPO. Under torture, prisoners were forced to admit to spying and to give the names of accomplices. Such treatment droire some victims to suicide. Reported Goagoseb: “If a person’s associates (in the organization) are taken, you know that you’re the next target.‘+ As a result of the harassment and torture, he said, many Namibians have left the movement. In Namibia itself a groutif parents formed to find. out what was happening ‘to their children in the organization. SWAP0 al-

at the least, boorish. Bill C-54, which is really a censorship hill, should be withdrawn. Now, welcome to “Naughty Bits - The Quiz Show” - a test of your knowledge about Bill C-54: Question: Which of the following movies could send the film-makers, distributors, and exhibitors to jail for up to 10 years?. A) Risky Business ’

. B) Perky’s C) Romeo & Juliet [by Zefferelfij Answer: Under Bill C-5.4, all of the above! Question: Well, then, what about these movies.? A] Summer of ‘42 B) The Tin.Drum C) My Life As A Dog Answer: Again, all of the above, i‘f Bill C-54 beomes law. Question: If the Chief Librarian of a Metropolitan Library, and the manager of a children’s bookstore find themselves sharr’ng a jai’1 cell, what offence likely put them there? A] Chopping the heads off neighbourhood dogs . B) Armed robbery C) Dissemination of the children’s anatomy primer Show Me Answer: C. If Bill C-54 becomes law, those who display or distribute books such as Show Me could be jailed for up to 10 years. Question: If a respected Canadian theatre director phoned you inthe middle of the night to ask you for bail money, which of the following plays likely put -him/her under arrest? A) Equus B) Spring Awakening C) Anne of Green Gables Answer: A] Equua would leave the director open to prosecution, since the play contains a s&e where character Alan Strand (who is meant to be 17 years old in the play) has a nude encounter on-stage with a z&yearold woman, B) Sering Awakening (which was writ ten in 1891) would also be classified as “pornography” under Bill C-54, since it portrays the sexual awakening of a group of teenagers. Cl Anne of Green Gables is safe from the clutches of Bill C-54. (Unless it is a very unusual staging of the play!) Question: Which of the following Governor-General’s Award-winning authors wrote books which could be subject to prosecution as “pornography”? A] Robertson Davies B) Alice Munro C) Margaret Laurence _ Answer: All of the above, for books such as Fifth Business, Lives of Girls and W&an, and The Dim viners. Question: How ca”nyou help to stop Bill C-54 from becoming

law?

The Ontario of the ’20siup by Carol Cambre Imprint staff While this part of Ontario is not known today as a bastion of organized crime, the Mafia’s influence was widespread during the 192os, due mostly to prohibition in the United ,States, says James Dubro. Dwbro, a freelance author and

television journalist, was in Waterloo Monday night to present his findings on organized crime, specifically the Mafia, in Ontario. He is the author the Mob.

Joining the Mafia is like making a pact with thk devil and I wouldn’t recommend it unless you are excessively entangled in activities such as loan sharking, drug dealing, extor Con, running strip joints and whorehouses and, of course, labour racketeering, said Dubro. However, if you are interes’ted in such intrigue, the law kindly provides you with loopholeS so that if yoiare caught at-least you

WI00 may lose -innovator status The University of Waterloo is in danger of losing it’s status as a leader in innovation. Educational programs have become so increasingly specialized and technically oriented that theory is in particular being neglected..Particular attention can be called to the Computer Science program. In the past, hackers were responsible for much of the new material generated hithin the university. Due to a sound theoretical background and curiosity generated by their education, the hacks motivated themselves to uncover the goodness and beauty of their god COMPUTER. An IBM mentality has pervaded the faculty however and ihick layers of hierarchy have stifled any new growth. More important today are the particular specifications of the latest chip rather than the knowle‘dge and the theory behind chips. This is not meant to be a criticism of the Computer Sciencqmethodology of education, but rather-an example of the prevailing attitude surrounding the University of Waterloo. There is ,no education-. / There is no learning. There is no teaching. Instead, the university has decided that job preparation is the ultimate goal and a school without job placements is a school without a reputation. Many students embarking on a professional career can count on having the large majority of courses preselected and a path predetermined. Deviation is not encouraged. Rather, students are penalized for non-adherence to course requirements by having to extend their stay at the University. Undergraduate degree requirements must be reassessed. The university should only grant baccalaureates in the arts. Students should only be allowed to take half of their courses in their intended major. Credits remaining should result in a well balanced liberal artseducation through a‘selection of free electives and required humanities courses. It is time that the University of Waterloo stopped being a factory of educated cultural idiots, Peter Dedes .

Twisting th,e scriptures To the editor, Chris Gerrard’s articles, “Do Not Judge Me” and “Marriage” continue to prove that, if one tries hard enough the scriptures can be made to say and justify anything. To do this, certain scriptures have to be either ignored or explained away by making it say something else, Passages like: Romans 1:25-27, “For they exchang,ed the truth of God for a he, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions: for their women exchanged the natural function for what is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their err.” and 1 Timothy 1%10, “But we know that the law is good, if one tises it lawfully, realizing that fact that law is not made for a righteous man, but

for those who are lawless and rebellious, for ahe ungodly and the sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill the fathers and mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever is contrary to sound teaching...” clearly do not condone homosexuality, nor do the scriptures as a whole treat homosexual behaviour as normal or adceptible.

Jesus accepted the adulterous woman as a person deserving of his compassion, as indeed all people are, but he told ,her to go way and to sin no more.‘(John 8:1-11). Acceptance of people does not re- , quire anyone to accept their behaviour. When I say the Bible does not condone homosexuality #hat does not give anyone the right to treat homosexuals as subhuman; there is no such mistreatment of adulterers although the Bible is quite clear on that topic also. So Chris as a follower of Christ try to conform your thinking his way &stead of .twisting and contorting what he said to fit your personal philosophy and lifestyle. But then again to say the Bible really doesn’t mean what it says is more socially acceptable. c

‘by Peter Stubley There is an article in the October issue of Esquire about Al USA Today, a newspaper which claims-to be the most read daily in the United States. It claims a readership of 5,541,000 people every day, more than the Wall,Street Journal. Neuharth is proud of the upbeat approach that the newspaper brings to current events. He has managed to produce a paper which cannot be parodied, because it is its own parody. Neuharth was so impressed by the National Lanipoon’s one and only attempt at mocking USA Today that he hired the editor of the issue to work for him. This ii perhaps the most cleak case of a single person colouring the entire approach of anewspaper to the news. It has resulted in a newspaper with a style and personality that reflects that of the man who controls the paper. It has resulted in a publication that does not follow the hard investigative journalistic tradition, such as Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the Washington Post + uncovering the Watergate scandal. It would not be fair to say that USA Today is simply fluff, but by Neuharth’s own admission it does not try to be at the leading edge of serious journalism. There are several ways of preventing a strong editor from completely colouring personality of a publication. The newspaper that you hold in your hands iri produced by a democratic process. This prevents the editor from gaining too much tiontrol of the paper, and also removes much of the responsibil_ity for the paper from the editor’s hands. The only example I have of Imprint’s democratic process is my submission of this column. At the beginning of the term, when I decided that I would like to write a column’for Imprin’t, I dropped by the office to find out how one went about becoming a columnist. I wrote five columns that were representative of what I was planning to do, and they were posted on Monday, to be voted on at the next staff meeting on Friday. The five-day posting period was to allow the staff eligible to vote to read the columns. The editor, by the way, does not get a vote. 1 showed up for the meeting on-the Friday. There was some discussion of how columns should be judged, and that they could not be judged based on their content, because the Imprint does not have an editorial policy regarding content, as long as it is legal to print. They asked me to describe the column because most of the staff eligible to vbte had not .read my submissions, and they wanted to make a responsible vote. I said that there wasn’t much I could say to describe them if they hadn’t bpen read, so there was some open discussion, both pro and con, of my submissions while people read one or two of the five I had given them. Most of the people did not seem to hatre any problem with the columns, and they askedme to leave theroom while they voted onit. Needless to say, they vote’d to accept it. Also needless to say, the democratic approach is an effective way of preventing the editor of having too much control of the newspaper that .is produced. Neuharth’s

(a pseudonym)

mprint staff I met’ a young man recently. Peter (not his real name] is a hird-year University of Toronto student. We “cruised” each other ne night at the Athletic Centre at U of T, and, as we “happened” to e leaving the building together, I turned to him and introduced myself.We decided to go to a doughnut shop for coffee. In the ensuing conversation that night, and over the course of he next three tieeks, I got to know this young man rather well. In im I saw a great dea! nf myself, especially when I was at the stage e is in my “coming out” experience. In many ways he has helped E to understand myself better - somewhat like observing myelf after. the fact. And he has also provided some insight into lthat my ex-lover Gas and still is dealing y.ith. Peter’s background is really not at all different or peculiar. His ather is a high school teacher. He was a “university jock”, and is till very much into the sports scene, although as a coach now. ‘eter’s mother is “veiy Catholic” (as is the whole family, really). leter has one sibling - a sister-who is younger. Peter was quite right in high school, and made it into one of the colleges at the Jniversity of Toronto which demands a certain level of academic xcellence from its students. He was also involved in music in chool, He plays hockey for his college teem, and has played ockey ever since he was a kid.. A “pretty regular guy”. There is just one littlesroblem - Peter is gay. It is a problem for im mostly because, I think, that being gay does not fit his self-imIiF - his perception of- who he is in the world. His family’s eligious-ideology does not coincide with his sexuality, as mine lid not. He knows that his parents could not handle his being gay. Iis father is very male/masculine/straight/jock oriented, and ‘eter is sure that having a gay son is more that his father could ope with. Peter is also used to his straight life-style. He ha4 a irlfriend not too long ago, and is now living a double life traight to all the people in his college and those that he deals with t school, work, and home during the summers, and gay on wee.ends at the bars, and with me, and with his other gay friends. He s still very closeted. I alsd think that he is afraid, as I was,,of what E perceives the “gay 1ifeByle” to be - a never-ending successl’on If short-lived relationships and no one with whom to grow. And E has to worry about school now, as- well, with assignments, xams, et cetera (“I can relate to that!” I can seeyou thinking). And le is worried about his career. He is afraid, as I too still worry, hat his sexuality will cause problems for his future. Yet still his nost primary sexual drive is toward men. And I know, as I do not Link that he does yet, that he cannot change that. And he still,has hard time saying that hi6 is gay - he prefers th’e label “bisexial”. as I once did, .So much of what Peter is trying to cope with now I have been hrough. I have also seen my ex-lover go through similar trials and ribulations. Many of my gay friends can recount like tales. And ‘eter is scared; He has never done anything to make himself gay, ISI did not. He knows that things will be difficult for him. He is onfused, As a society, w’eteach our children, through various means, that ame-sex relations are evil, or inherently wrong, or somehow lamaging to everyone involved. A great deal of the blame,‘if you vill, for this, what I consider a -great injustice, belongs to the church” (denomination is not important - most of them conlemn “homosexuality” with a vengeance), and the rest goes to our Iwn ability to see others as not just different’ but somehow nappropriate’. From the time I was very little, I was told of the vils of “homosexuals”. And the terror and pain that I felt when I began to realize that I was one of “them” was so great that I ittempted to take my life. This is the “love” and “caring” that I am o look for in the church, as suggested by a number of writers in he past? Is it really any wonder that so many gay women and men Ire alienated by “religion”? And from “main stream” society? rhink about it. And now I feel much of the pain and struggle that I thought I had lealt with before, vic&iously, through Peter. And I see‘the an;uish that he suffers, and I suffer it too, And all I can do is be there or him if he will let me, because he is going to have to go through he hell that I did ‘to get to where I am. find I know I have a long vay to go still.

On November 13, Fed- Hall’ completed the night in an un-, pleasant and rare fashion. Every evening the doors are locked at 12:45 a.m. As people leave occasionally other people will attempt to enter. That night two men, apparently named Dave and Ian, tried to come in at 1253 a.m. They explained they wanted to look for their wife and their girlfriend. The doorstaff told them that everyone would be out in five minutes so why. didn’t they wait in the lobby. Without any provocation the men said, “We don’t want to get in a scrap over this do we?” Fed Hall staff, and particularly the doorstaff, are used tb dealing with difficult situations with people wh’o have been

drinking. On this occasion the doorstarf attempted to calm them down, Dave and Ian weren‘t responsive and instead jumped our doorstaff! At this time the doorstaff tried to settle the men and a third Fed Hall employee helped out. Eventually, Dave and Ian were escorted down the ramp toward the lobby. Once everyone got through the doors Dave or Ian screamed and pulled two doorstaff to the ground with him. A scuffle ensued and Ian was punched in the eye. Approximately 15 minutes later Dave and Ian here escorted’ to the manager’s office and campus security was notified. When security arrived the problems continued and a security guard was also assaulted and Dave and -Iin were eventully

Well, come on now, you knew it had io come. Here we have me, a Christian, writing a weekly column, you knew it had to eventually be written on Christmas. So, let’s not avoid the issue, let’s take a look at what Christmas is all about, but, for a change,. I’m not going to make Jesus Christ my focus. What you say, your not going to talk about lesus Christ when you talk about Christmas? And you call yourself a Christian?! Well, if you’ll forgive me, I would like to talk, about an unfortunately sad part of the Christmas season. I would like to talk about loneliness. And suicide. Christmas is one of* the worst times of the year for suicide attempts and successes. More people attempt suicide at this time of the year than at.any other. Yet, this is supposed to be a happy time, a time when people get together with their families ouch), buy gifts (ouch)+ and celebrate with friends (ouch). It is I or the reasons that cause the ouches that we have high suicide rstes at Christmas. Some people don’t get along with their families, or their parents have split up. Some people can’t afford to buy gifts. Sbme people don’t have any friends+ “So?” you say. “I can’t do anything about it!” you say. Yet, most of US who attend this university can he1 , even if in a small way. Think of the foreign student who can’t af Pord to fly back to Europe or Hong Kong to be with his family. Can’t you help him by inviting him to your home for,Christmas dinner? What about the many ways that are made available to us to buy a gift for someone who can’t? Couldn’t we spend the $10 to make someone happier thi$ year? Now “wecome to the hard sart, doikg something about it. “Sur&” you say+ “that would be a really nice thing ‘to do.” But vvill you actually do it? Perhaps a better Question is: Will I? I’m going t& be going to Winnipeg [the Lord willing) to spehd Christmas with my grandfather. It may be the last chance I’ll have for doing that, so it’s important to me. That means that inviting someone home for Christmas is going to be tough, yet maybe I could bring some of that Christmas cheer into someones’ life before I go? And what about the idea of buying a present for someone who can’t? Sure I’m hard-up for money, but with the money I spend on video games (yes, I admit it) I could quite.easily buy someone a gift. So where am I left? I have all the reason in the world to offer the love that Jesus Christ told me to give, am I going to be selfish or am I going to reach out. This Christmas as ‘you spend time with your family, if it’s difficult, think of the time you spend as a gift of love to your family, it may be the greatest sacrificial gift you can give. As you give and receive gifts, remember the old saying, “It’s better to give than to receive.” It may not seem like it at the time, but’in the long run, you will reap the benefits of your love. May God bless you richly as you contemplate the reason for the season. As the song writer said, “May your da@ be merry and bright .” God bless you. I

Gelatine, lard and many other animal derivatives could be unexpected ingredients in. the foods on the shelves. One guide I have found helpful in identifying safe foods is kosher certification. As the kosher tradition has very strict rules about the use. of ineat and meat products, you can trust their judgment in most cases. Jews that follow the orthodox kosher regulations can’t eat meat and dairy together and they can’t eat non-meat animal derivatives like gelatine or rennet.

boluti-art To the editor,

This is a response to a letter by Prof. J. Schroeder [Imprint, Nov. 13) in which he defends scientific creationism. Schroeder gives us an either/or proposition - that creationism requires faith in God or a superhuman. ability to decipher a past which can never have been demonstrated to have existed. This statement is based on a confusion between the physical and metaphysical causes of the universe. It is assumed by many peopIe who are Christians that God is one of many entities which are part of the universe, even though he has a $uperior nature, This is demonstrated when people say that God can be postulated as the cause of a particular class of phenomena. God is, however, sheerly different from the things that are not himself in both his operation because while finite beings causes modifications in other finite. beings, God causes the very

not an either/or *

existence of beings; a constant influx of his power sustains them. - He is sheerly different ‘in his existence because while all things not God are finite participations in being, which have a distinction between their essence and their existence, God is pure unlimited being in which his es’sence is his own existence. We cannot, therefore, say that he is the scientific cause of life on earth, as the creationsists hold.- We can, however, say that he is responsible+for life on earth, which is the main poiht of the first part of the book of Genesis, because in giving existence to the basic elements of earth, he implicitly gives them all their properties which permitted them to evolvg. Evolution in no way contradicts the spiritual nature of many since evolution only explains the origin of the physical nature of man into which Gods infused a spiritual . soul. Given the spiritual nature of man, the function of Christianity is not new mathematical to .devehp

theorems or to do research into quantum mechanics. It is concerned with the salvation of man. All scientific and engineering pursuits have an autonomy of their own. When creationists attempt to use quotes from the Bible, as Schroeder did, in his letter, to attempt to scientifically explain the

proposition

origins of life, they destroy science becausi they db not permit its proper autonomy.

The rejection of evolutibn today is the rejection of major fields of valid science: physics, biology, geology, and astronomy. They destroy Christianity because they reduce the faith to a study of a the

literal meanings of certain senten- f ces in the Bible, robbing it of the ineffable richness which the sent-ences in the Bible point to - a richness which no human words can adequately express.

WATERLOO PUBLIC 4 INTEREST RiSEARCH GROUP

Theories distorter To the editor, Katherine Foster and Sivd Pal maintain that Dr. Harry Binswanger managed to distort the theories of Plato, Marx, Freud, and Aristotle on November 3 when he lectured to a large group of UW students about Ayn Rand’s Objectivist theories. In the November 20 issue of Imprint, W, Richard Minto refuted our allegation (made in Imprint, letters, Nov. 13) without offering any evidence (reasons) in support of his claim that: “Binswanger #gave the: standard textbook presentation of the most genepal aspects of their central doctrines: Plato’s mind-body dualism, and Aristotle’s rejection of it; Plato’s theory of forms and appearances; the Freudian and platonie concepts of the tripartite soul.” (If you object, you should have reasons, ’ \Imprint, Nov. 20). It would appear that Minto expects readers to accept his claim and the catch-al1 phrase “standard textbook presentation” on blind faith. Mr. Minto, where have you and/or Binswanger come across “Freudian coficepts of the tripartite soul”? In no way ‘doed Freud refer to the personality in terms of the soul. I refer you to Freud’s book ‘entitled “On the Future of An Illusion”, where you might discover Freud’s “scitintific” views. In this book, Freud builds a case foi: scientific reasoning, suggesting that humans supplant introspection and religion with science. This can be quickly substantiated on pages 28, 50, 52. Better still, you might read the entire book and assess it for yourself. And, if jlou are ever in the Binswanger’s neighbourhood, you might suggest that he do the same. In future, audiences may find Binswanger using Freud to support Objectivism rather than repudiating him. indeed, Bins wanger did present a few aspects of Plato’s mind-body dualism and his theory of forms and appearances. However, these aspects were present?d in fragmented blips in the sense that he grossly oversimplified Plato’s thought-provoking works as regards the complex realities and ethics of human exibtence. Not once did Binswanger suggest that\ the ‘audience might read and assess

Plato

for

themselves.

fact, he told the audience point blank to reject Plato, as well as all Eorms of Platonic thought. Herein, he included today’s humanists in the context of the following “blanket” statement: “Today’s humanists are our enemies.‘* . ’ Moreover, Binswanger pres.ented his interpretation of Plato’s theories after he told the audience

to reject Platonic thought, and after he offered the absurd notion that Plato (who refused to join the 30 tyrants who were totalitarian) was the Father of Totalitarianism, In my estimation, Binswanqer’s negative leadYin ploy was! far removed from one which would afford a “clean’ presentation of Plato’s works. It does not take a person with a high degree of philosophic sophistication to figure out that Binswanger thus set the stage because Plato’s social philosophy does not jibe with Objectivism’s rugged individualistic or laissezfaire socioLeconomie philosophy and the egocentric rule as set forth by Binswanger: “The first loyalty is to the self and not to the collective; the prime virtue is selfishness”, ’ In effect, his reasoning acrobatics reminded me of thvoseslick salesmen who cry wolf [in this case, communism) for the purpose of mobilizing people unto their view and cause. This is underhanded and dangerous. with the threat of nuclear war looming in our society today, this type of ploy may find subliminal appeal among those who find itpsychologically soothing to deal with their fear of nuclear holocaust by ‘projecting blame onto communist countries and onto all those “evil” theories that even remotely bespeak collectivist,

socialist of communist contention. Current scientific studies [Montreal’s Project Cult, to name one] have pinpointed certain television evangelists who have used similar

covmunist scare tactics for purposes of fund-raising and mobilizing people unto their “politico-reli -gs” cause. Lastly, Binswanger added insult to injury by not doing any justice to the theories of the other great thinkers whom he but very briefly mentioned and quickly grouped into debatable categories [a few alongside Hitler). It was quite obvious that Binswanger simply expected the audience to accept his categorical constructs and “truths” - on blind faith. Moreover, Binswanger did not deal fairly with his refutation pf Christianity. He merely read a few ercerpts from a book outlining the views of Pope John 1. Neither did he do justice by those engineers in the audience who may hold a Christian world view - advising them to go into the priesthood. Better still, said Binswanger, commit suicide. 9 If anyone is guilty of a di&eputable smearing-tactic‘ (the offence which Mr. Minto has accused Siva Pal and myself) it is Binswanger, Katherine Foster 4th year Hons.

-New water quality deal /

./ by John Jackson A historic milestone for Great Lakes water quality was reached November 38 when Canada* and the U.S. signed amendments to the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. This agreement, first signed in 1972 and rewritten in 1978, is a precedent setting international agreementpledging the Canadian and U.S. federal governments to work cooperatively to rid the Lakes of persistent toxic substances. The 1987 amendments strengthen the Agreement by increasing the governments’ commitments to control pollutants from atmospheric sources, groundwater, contaminated sediments, and urban and &al runoff. The changesalso institutionalize remedial action plans as a method for. cleaning up toxics in the basin’s 42 designated “hotspots”. In the summer and fall of 1986, Great Lakes United (GLU), a coalition of more than 200groups representing environmental, sport, conservation, labbur and municipal government interests, held 19 public hearings around the Great Lakes on how well the 1978 agreement was working. Despite evidence of some prog’ress, these hearings indicated that the promises of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement were largely unfulfilled. Many blatant violations of those prbmises were evident. Plumes of black contaminants still reach out int6 the Lakes. Large cities still dump sewage that has only received primary treatment. Industrial smoke stacks still belch contaminants into the air. Old dump sites conti&e to leak dioxins, PCBs and numerous other insidiously destructive

chemicals into rivers and lakes. Agricultural

ru-

noff continues to relCase massive quantities of pesticides and phosphorus-laden fertilizers into the basin’s waters. Dredging operations still pour toxic sediments into open waters. Every day

hundreds of trucks still dump contaminated fill into the Lakes. Fish have returned to waters that were once too

oxygen-deficient to support them because of excess algae growth. But now many fish tire afflicted with tumours and afe unsafe-to eat. The public fears the immediate and long-term effects of toxic chemicqls on their health and the environment. This litany of frightening situations led the public to recommend much more action by the governments. The amendments signed last week *reflect the concerns of the public. But only time will tell if the amendments make any difference, If they are not implemented niore effectively than the original agreement, the progress will not be .’ sufficient. The public way in which thestiamendments were negotiited was unusual. For the first time the public was involved in what were previously secret negotiations with no citizen input. The public was allowed to review and comment on early proposals by each government for amendments. The governments held public hearings to receive further input. And in a rare move, the Canadian’ and U.S. governments granted environmental groups the right to participate in the negotiations between the two countries. In a letter to Joe Clark urging that Great Lakes United be given official status at the negotiations, Canada’s ‘Minister of the Environment Tom McMiHan said, “Although I realize that it is unusual to involve the public direct1 in governmentto-government consultative se 4 sions, I believe that the presence of GLU would be useful.” , It is the efforts of citizens’ groups throughout the Great Lakes basin that will make the difference between whether this is a successful agreement

not.

The

determiaatibn

and

commitment

of citizens’ groups will create the political will to carry out the promises of the amended Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.

--WCRI conflict continued from prge 1

time there was no conflict of interest in having Sydney Baldwin act as their real estate agent, Both President Karen Houghland and Christie Baldwin reaffirmed that position in an interview this week. Where the situation became even more confused, howeier, said Pellegrini, was in the nature of the deal which saw WCRI take ownership of the lot. The property, purchased from local dentist Dr. Douglas Jones, was not bought through a normal real estate transaction. A report compiled by Christie Baldwin shows that the land became property of the co-op after WCRI purchased Trading Bay Holdings Ltd,, a registered O&ar.io corporation wh%h had the lot at 268 Phillip St. as its sole asset, While the land did eventually become WCRI property - the deal was signed April l&1986 it did not change hands as a real estate transaction. Instead, it was a deal involving the acquisition of one company by another. This should have eliminated the need for a real estate agent, but the co-op decided to stick with the agent no\petheless, said Pellegrini.

WCRI’s Baldwin said the change in strategy - land deal to business deal - came late in the negotiating process so the board simply decided to stay with the existing set-up it had established to negotiate the land deal. The method of acquiring the land, however, landed the cooperative in the middle%f a tax problem: the land had been assessed at a value of $250,000 shortly before it became co-op property. When the co-operative purchased the holding company for $560,000, it was faced with a $75,000 tax bill for the $300,000 capital gain ‘on the value of the land. To alleviate the problem, it becam& necessary for WCRI to change its status as a non-profit corporation without share capital to a non-profit corporation with share capital. The completion of the this maneuver allowed WCRI to avoid the capital gains tax, said Christie Baldwin. Also noteworthy in the’ deal, added Pellegrini, was the timing of WCR3’s official approval of the Trading Bay purchgse.

cation until Tune 25 Although ‘the legality of the purchase was an unknown factor at the time the deal was signed, in report prepared in July, 1986,‘to deal with rumours about -the transaction, Chris Baldwin said the moved turned ‘out to be the’right one. “In retrospect, the decision to proceed with a property purchase offer was correct. Word as to the legality of WCRI purchasing Trading Bay Holdings Limited was not received from the (provincial) ministry by our lawyer until June 16, two weeks prior to closing, two months after deal negotiated,” said Baldwin. In the same report, tre also defends the participation of his wife, despite efforts by both the vendor’s lawyer (John Griggs) and WCRI’s lawyer (John Zinszer] tQnegotiate a deal without her. . “Mr. Griggs, by choosing to respond to Mr. Zinszer, after regeiving our offer, attempted to secure a bargaining advantage. As Mrs. Baldwin’s role in the process had been pre.viously defined, for all parties concerned, this attempt was not exactly kosher, though understandable, nor was it met by a proper’ response from Mr. Zinser. Mr. Grigg? .many have felt zasy about taking this approach, as a result of Mr. Zinszer’s having discussed part of the content of the ‘offer’ prior to the time an actual offer was prepared and signed for formal presentation. A tactical error which ultimately led to Mrs Baldwins’ having to ‘redirect’ both lawyers back to a proper negotiafing position. In any event, it underlined the point that good ,lawyers don’t necessarily make good real estate negotiators and the decision to use one, I firmly belieGe more strongly than ever, was an appropriate decision.” In an interview this week, Chris Baldwin said the situation was handled entirely aboveboard and, therefore, could have had nothing to do with the dismissal of Pellegrini, although he was ufiwilling to answer specific questions about the suit because the cage is still’before the courts. The case itself is still in the early stages, with both sides yet to finalize the ‘preliminnry pretrial groundwork, Pellegrini said he is still awaiting the subniission of several WCRI documents before proceeding, while Baldwin said the co-op is still waiting for similar submissions from Pellegrini’s lawyer. In his suit, Pellegrini is claiming damages for, among other things, breach of his employment contract due to insufficient ’ notice. He is also claiming the breach of contract ivas intentional and that the action has left emotionally, mentally, and physically distressed. Pellegrini said the board of directors knowingly made false allegations when they attributed his dismissal to p?or job performance. Using his latest job evaluations [which were completed by’ Baldwin) as examples, Pellegrini said his performance in such areas as job knowledge and quality of work was consistently rated as very good or excellent. “How can Christie Baldwin and the board approve these kinds of work evaluations and then say I wasn’t doing my job? There’s obviously something else going on.” For their part, WCRI’s execul

Photocopy price hike.? c

The federal government is currently pushing legislation that would’raise the price of photocopies in libraries and universities across Canada. If the government’s new copyright legislation, Bill C-60, is passed by the House of Commons, students at UW could pay up to five cents, more for photocopies. At the present time, Bill C-60 is before an eight-member vouse of Commons committee. The committee intends to protect artistic and intellectual material

from illegal copying. If Bill C-66 is passed unamended, universities and libraries will have to pay royalties to a collective fund for clearance to make copies. While universities are worried about the additional costs, publishing houses in Canada look forward tp collecting the royalties on copyright materials. If the new legislation is passed, the universities. Twould off set thg increased casts by increasing the charge of photocopying for students.

Judith McAnanama, chairman for the Canadian Library Assoqiation Comrjnittee on Copyrights, said her committee wants exempti.ons from all single copying royalties and freedom from liability should a library patron break the proposed law. The CLA represents more than 4,000 libraries across Canada. If Bill C-60 is passed, the students at universities as well as other library patrons could feel the increased bite into their pockets within the next year.

former administrator in Information Service.s announced that the abbreviation “UW” would apply to the university not the often used “U of W.” The 1972 announcement was never officially ratified by the Board of Governors. The ruling was publicized in a news release. The intent was to facilitate a common usage of one abbreviation by the media and the university community. Today in 1987, the inaccurate “U of W” logo is hosted by some of the rugby shirts sold on campus and in the copy of local K-W merchant’s advertising. Imprint Advertising Manager Ted Griesbach says that of all the ad copy Imprint handles which contains some sort of university abbreviation, one half of those say “UW” while the other half say “U of W.” At the time when Needles Hall shied away from “U of W” as the short form, there was confusion between Waterloo and the University of Windsor who went by the abbreviation “U of W.” Another Canadian school revolving around the confusion is the University of Winnipeg. There too, there are reports that Winnipeg is known as “UW” as well as “U of W.” In an article

“UW”; and the University of Wyoming is known as 7J.W.” When University Secretariat Jack Brown was asked by Imprint if there were any attempts at setting the record straight, he replied: “it looks like your doing :t ”

by Brian Jantzi Imprint staff The installation of unapproved condoms in UW’s new contraceptive vending machines has lead to complaints about the quality of the products and the erotic depictions on the pack- . ages. Andrew Abouchar, Federation of Students vice-president (operations and finance) said.at a November 22 Fed meeting he “very disappointed with the product”. Beca‘use of complaints from the Birth Control Centre on product quality and disdain for the erotic scenes displayed on the packages, the supplier, Hyco, will be notified immediately of

the deficiencies, he said. Other subjects discussed at the Federation meeting included the following Federation-linked events and groups: - BACCHUS will have an AIcohol Awareness week the first week in February. - A Chess Club and a Fraternity Awareness Club have been ratified; a possible resurrect ion. of the young New Democrats

Other information of great value to the greater UW population includes the fact that stipends granted to all Federation officeholders will increase, so that the positions can now be economically feasible for students, in addition to the truckloads of fun involved.

The new addition to the paper will give students the opportunityto ask professors candid questions. The topics are limitless.; however, this forum is intended to be relatively inoffensive to UW’s faculty. Questions to a favourite Prof. could be posed anonymously, if so desired. It is hoped that professors’ eyes will gravitate toward What’s Up Dot? where they may find such questions as “Professor Jones, why did you schedule three mid-terms within two-weeks? or, What do you do on weekends? or, What is really in that cup you drink out of each day during class? or even, What advice would you offer to a History major who would like to transfer into Architecture? .

The Student Vocational Advisors

Do you suffer from sweaty palms, heart palpit ations or the “fidgets” when you think about job interviews? Maybe you think you have the market cornered on interview skills. In either case, everyone realizes how ismportant a good interview can be. Whether you are striving for that summer, co-op, or full-time position with an organization, there are many skills’necessary to ensure a successful interview. The first objective to remember is that you-are selling a very valuable product: yourself. This stile can only be successful if you have dbde an assessment of your skills and goals. It is imperative that during your interview you are assertive in demonstrating that the skills you possess would be beneficial to the prospective employer. A second important aspect of a good interview is being knowledgeable about the company/organizatiori. Its history, employee policies and structural characteristics should be thoroughly researched previous ‘to the interview. This research can be done through personal interviews‘contacts, or also at the Career Information Centre which is located on the first floor at Needles Hal!. Knowledge about the organization assures the employer that you are organized, interested, and well-prepared for the interview. He/she may even quiz you a little on the company. During the interview there are many factors that must be considered: mental attitude, body language and- physical appearance+ A few helpful -_

hints are as follows: a) Dress neatly and conservatively;

b) Keep eye contact with the interviewer; questions briefly and concisely: d] Preyent nervous habits from showing (eg. sayc) Answer

ing “urn”);

e) Keep an open, friendly yet business-like posture which is confident and relaxed; f) Listen carefully to the questions. At the concluding segment of the interview most employers are open for questions. Always try to prepare questions before the interview or ask questions concerning something mentioned during the interview. For example, “whit training programs are provided by your company?” or “whit are typical career paths that evolve from ati

1 entry-level position?“. Be careful, however not to be too assertive or anxious. Never ask about salary unless the subject is mentioned by the interviewer.

In summary, you should approach an interview with 1) a professional attitude, 2) an indication that you know something about the company, 3) a clear idea of what you want to do, and 4] a sales pitch. Finally, at the end fif the interview, thank the interviewer, smile, and discuss when you will hear from him/her again. Also it is considerate to send a thank you letter after your interview. For further information regarding improving interview skills, consult the SVA in your faculty, attend interview skills workshops presented by Career Services, or take a look*at the interview skills videos in the Career Information Centre.

Hall last Fall’ they displayed the sort of on-stage precociousness that somewhat made them look too serious at best and overly pretentious at worst. And in the process, they sacrificed the obligatory intensity of a live, setting in order to faithfully reproduce the studio sounds of their fabulous debut release - September Bowl of Green. And in returning to these parts they, more or less, fell into the same no-no again. Of course the only difference this time -was that they’ were bent upon reproducing the sanitized studio quality of their latest release - Treehouse, And

However, the lovable trio, who incidentally were backed up by the cute ‘Vincent’ on keyboards, did manage to somewhat spice up a few offerings from their first album and so a song like the wistful Misunderstqnding was delivered with a. fine inflection of guitar-ripped angst. But in a calculated move of sorts, they covered the Sex ‘Pistol’s Holidays; one supposes that this is to prove that they aren’t really suffering from a terminal bout of rigor mortis while up on stage. But then again, one thrashy punk cover and a couple of adrenalin surges isn’t going to save a con-

cert from being a wee bit unmemorable. All criticism asid& the concert still s‘cored high marks for content: there were enough great songs played to keep the audience dancing and humming along to the wonderful harmonies and melodies being picked and strummed from Kevin Kane’s nice looking semiacoustic guitar even though his equipment sounded a little ragged. And the vocal harmonizing between Kane and bassist Tim Hooper were truly mellifluous and affecting. , The opening act, Water Walk, played material from their selftitled first offering as well as doing a nice reading of The Association’s Windy. They aren’t too shabby as a band but they do seem to lack a strong songwriting ability; much of their material sounds the same I lacking the ingredients that characterize great tunes: memorable hooks, catchy refrains and a healthy disdain of middle-class values. Nevertheless, their ballad, Turn Your Face Away, is a fabulous, thr’iat-in-the-heart tearjerker, containing some of the warmest chord treatments you’ll ever hear. Phew! And, what’s more, they sure do have an oh soooooooooo gorgeous violinist whose I in Lynne Kellman stringed licks gave some real earnest textural embellishments to the heartfelt jangles of Dale Darlington’s guitar.

Healey’s blues pack&em in at the Bom,ber ’ by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff With the exception of a couple of visits from The Shuffle Demons, among other things, The Bombshelter has been vastly underused as a concert venue as long as 1 can remember, for bands with a sizeable following but who aren’t quite big enough to .make Fed Hall much more than a big, hollow echochamber. Local indie bands -would be appreciated, but in keeping with The Bombshelter’s Rock and Roll Night, T.O. bluesrockers like Jack Dekyzer and The Phantoms would be ideal. As was Jeff Healey who managed to fill The Bomber last Fri-

day night. Once the opening band - your standard beer company-sponsored blues/soul/rock cover band under the moniker of The Blues Brothers or something - they have a decent guitarist, but what else can you say other than they’d love ‘em at The Turret - had the inebriated masses stirred up, blind guitar prbdigy Healey was led to his chair and the sparks started to fly around in earnest. Throughout two sets of original (notably his single release Seen The Light] and sizzling renditions of we’ll-chosen, if somewhat obvious, covers such as AII Along The Watchtower (way more Xendrix than Dylan, as you might expect), Kansas City and

Sunshine of Your Love, the intensity let up for nary a second.’ Healey’s flashy blues style is probably most reminiscent of Stevie Ray Vaughn, sharing the long, tall Texan’s predilection for sometimes self-indulgent showboating. But with a talent as dazzling as Healey’s, it comes off not so much as a smug display of self-gratifying virtuosity, but as an exciting, even essential part of the performance. Playing his guitar on his lap-like a pedal steel, his fingers have a much greater .dexterity than conventional bent-wrist guitar-playing allows for, making the frequent and lengthy solos much more than just a fast couple of obligatory runs up and down the scales. His fingers literally danced across the fretbcmrd, and pretty frenetic dances they were, too. And%controlled, if’ not entirely- disciplined; every .-note had a function, no pointless diddling around here. Healey’s voice is even a reasoapproximation of a throaty blues growl for a white adding a much-needed WY~ touch of authenticity to his pyrotechnics.

Their latest release, Happy?, is nothing short of polished, yet unrestrained, brilliance.

*Whatever Doughboys ’ Pipeline

by Don Ktio Imprint staff It was around this time last year when 7 Seconds’ gallant New Wind album blew a breath of fresh air into an area of rock ‘n’ roll that was littered with bands, seemingly rushing hardcore to’ward a dead end. Gripping their instruments with the strength as previously practiced, 7 Seconds was a pure example of a number of rock ‘n’ roll bands soaring over the limits ‘of hardcore’s heyday with slightly more mature sounds. Now steadiljr gaining in prominence is a Montreal troupe of hard-edged veterans collectively called the Doughboys. Their debut release, Whatever being a New Wind for 1987, is similar in its freshness, and in its combina-

tion of melody with underlying grinding portions of guitar, and effervescent bass that climbs to the top of the fleeting rhythm. The Doughboys are headed by lead singer/guitarist John Kastner. After leaving top Canadiarr thrash outfit Asexuals, he formed the Doughboys in 1986. His distinctive throat lends itself superbly to the slightly smootherDoughboy approach as it also had fit with the rougher Asexual assaults of the past. But enough of these name-dropping comparisons, though the track No Holiday (From Living] is a deadly ring?r for a middle-aged Husker Du (circa New Day Rising), as they only ,serve to demean the Doughboys’ wonder-filled Whatever. No HoJiday [From Living) rates notably high not only for comparison means but because or its successful switch of lead vocal position from drummer Brock Pytel to Kastner’s raspy raunch, in telling a tale of standing taJJon one’s personal convictions by ndt relinquishing to external elements.

Ballad of A Spycstchei Leon Rosselon with Billy Bragg 6 The Oyster Band Upside Down Records (Import)

by Paul Done Imprint staff Over the past few months Spycatcher, the memoirs of former MI5 agent Sir Peter Wright have been riding atop the New York Times Bestseller list. At this moment in England, paperback copies of Spycatcher are selling for’$30 each. The reason for the inflated cost is that the I book has been banned in Britain because the government has judged that it “violates the national interest”. The ridiculous part about this is that the vast majority of the information found in the book is available in files which are open to the British public. Further, none of the book’s revelations cover the tim3 period following 1975. ’ -As

Take heart, though, for this grticle is not a lamentation for where Suicidal Tenderic?& has taken punk, but a-review for where Article of Faith may lead it’to. In This Life is. a rather old album, recorded in 1985 with Husker Du’s Bob Mould as producer. However, it was just released in Canada this year, Which is too bad, hardcore could have used such a great album two years ago; perhaps it would have saved us from 15-year-old denim-clad skate ,boardecs.

The album is never boring and, although it is loud, it is&tempered with a subtlety missing in most hardcore albums. Wheedle Dee, an instrumental, is a fine example of how the loud hardcore sound can sound like when mu- . sicians are at the helm. The album doesn’t fall into the+tandard hardcore, dare I say, formula of a collection of the same song with just the beginnings altered. They do use the standard harcore singing strategy of highpitched screaming and I hate it. But you can’t have everything. The biggest problem involving the singing is that the lyrics de- ” serve attention. They are quite good - the only reason Iknow this is because they are written out on the sleeve. Speaking of the sleeve, even the packaging is also well done. The album doesn’t have the standard bloody? cross on it; it has a tastefully done original pen and in drawing.

It has shot into the British top 10 and is still rising. The Coldcut remix has taken the original song and added a multitude of found voices from radio. and TV shows. The most bizarre addition though, is the otherw.orldly singing from Yemenite Ofra Haza. Ironically enough, this radical restructuring of the LP’s title track meets with huge amounts of disapproval from Eric - “It’s ridiculous.

Their “performance” turned out to be a near lip-synch, since Rakim’s rap was drowned out by their own records which, in standard hip&hop fashion, were being played through the P.A. as the backing track. Rakim’s live 1rap consisted of one brief freestyle jam and his encouragements to the crowd to “Say Yeah!” during the breaks. Eric looked near: catatonic as he absent -mindedly changed records on the turntables at the back of the stage throwing in a scratch every now and then to prove that his vital signs were still registering.

This probably could have been predicted though, after the two hour wait whi-ch was endured to get a perfunctory lo-minute interview - squashed in between a photo shoot and a MuchMusic interview. During the 10 minutes Rakim stared intently at his shoes, trying hard to ignore everyone in #the room but himself. This left the dejewelled Eric, who had quickly taken his chains off immediately after the photo shoot, to field questions often in monosyllables. Hopefully, it’s just a case of swollen heads due to the recent gold-plating of Paid In Full. 0th~ erwise, 1987’s best rap act are two of the biggest assholes I’ve met in my life. They’re just lucky that there was a metal detector at the door of the Concert Hall they would have been in mortal danger had it not been.

by Renate Sander-Regier Imprint staff The art of Susan and Myron Turner is currently on display at the Arts Centre Gallery. The show opened November 12 with an illustrated lecture by the artists who flew in all the way from Winnipeg especially for this opening. What a.shame that only a little more than a handful of people (almost half of them accompanying the Turners) appeared to hear them talk. I found their natural and unaffected pre’sentation a refreshing change from most of the lectures I have attended recently, where -the speakers simply read *carefully prepared ‘scripts.’ Susan studied Fine Arts at the University ‘of Manitoba, and Print-making at the London College of Printing, London, GB. She started “doing art” in 1980, and since then has exhibited widely in Winnipeg. She is the recipient of several Canada Council awards and provincial grants, and she has taught drawing, paper-making, and calligraphy at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. Currently she teaches 1st year Graphic Design at the University of Manitoba. Gouache, ink and charcoal are her principal media for drawing, and into many of her drawings she incorporates p&per cut into shapes. Many such drawings she has fashioned into books which signify to her *‘separate shapes unified into a working whole+’ and a “structural framework” for her art. A few such books, containing both drawings and prints, are displayed in the gallery. One of them, A Book of Windows, hangs from the ceiling and invites visitors to lift the pages and peek

inside. Susan uses mainly intaglio print-making techniques; she prefers etching and dry-point. Her most recent etchings have been executed on plexiglass, a material which yields the true colour of the ink - unlike metal which distorts colour upoq con\ tact, She is interested in what happens when colour is added to a print. The manipulation of variables such as colour, collage, and layering is a challenge for ,her. At one point in her life she became fascinated by shark tails which, came to symbolize various ideas and emotions, and which she adopted as “a hinge on which to construct drawings.” If you look closely at the works exhibited in the gallery you will detect the triangular presence of shark tails. Myrdn entered art “through the back door.” He was always interested in art, and he dabbled in it throughout his teens, but he studied and ended up teacMng English. He is the founder and publisher of The Four Humours Press, at which books are or were (I don’t know if it still exists] set by hand. Through working out other people’s woodcuts, he renewed his interest in art, and tried his hand at his own woodcuts. They were a success and since then he has been “moving along maintaining professionalism and learning what to do.” Considering his lack of formal art training, Myron has done very well. Since 1979 he has had a number of solo and group exhibitions in Manitoba. He has received several Manitoba Arts Council grants, a Canada Council Explorations Grant, and the

Highway’s by Julie Cosgrove Imprint staff As part of St. Jerome’s reading series, Thomas Highway entranced a lounging crowd of students and faculty November 19 with an expressive Cree/English narration. Highway, a Manitoba-born Cree Indian, represents the first generation of his people to have obtained an university degree and subsequent profidiency of the English language (Highway graduated from Western in 1980). An accredited playwright, winning both the Floyd S. Chalmers Award for outstanding Canadian Play in 1986 and the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Best New Play 1986/,87, Highway is currently artistic dir ’ rector for Native Earth Performing Arts Inc., located in Toronto. Highway belongs to a group of Natives who are actively restoring the’ir philosophical, mythological aird historical culture, indigenous to Canada and based on an oral literary tradition SW: era1 thousang .years old. Native Earth Performing Arts is’ one vehicle by which they are making this happen - the theatre group is comprised of a network of Native Indians who write and perform their own productions. Highway proceeded to fascinate his audience with a synopsis of Cree ideologies and a vocal’ enactment of a few scenes from’ one of his works, The Rez Sisters (Rez is slang for reservation). The play, with Cree interspersed throughout the dialogue, revolves around seven Indian sisters who are trying to get to Toronto to participate in the world’s largest bingo game; bingo symbolizes for the women

Premier’s Award for Design Excellence, Manitoba Design Institute. From woodcuts he moved into watercolour, dhd eventually into oils. He taught himself how to work with colour and how to use, it effectively for his purposes. He has always been fascinated by the “mystery of photography”, and he appropriates into his work “other people’s images.” But be doesn’t want his paintings to be “photographically realis tic.” For this reason he inset framing devices, such as white’lines joined to form a square, into his paintings.

Into some paintings, such as Running Child, he integrates photographs ‘ of actual subjects and photographs of newspaper articles. The presence of printed matter reminds us that the artist’s work “is a part of the world we live in and can’t be separated from it.” r Has Myron sacrificed English to Art? No indeed; he teaches Creative Writing and Renaissance Literature part-time at the University of Manitoba. And painting takes up much of the rest of his time.

Running Mari brings’dark \ vision to screen P

Dawson /d&livers, Al;nold fa.lls +.*,,’shdrt

by John Z&tiah Imprint staff

Of all’ the movies Arnold Schwarzenegger has lent himself to, The Running Man is unquestionably the best. Mind you, the competition hasn’t al ways been terribly impressive [remember Raw Deal?) but, on the other hand, efforts such as The Terminator have been resounding successes. In that rmovie,F t‘hough, Schwarzennegw ;w.as upstaged by his co-stars, Michael Biehn and Linda Hamilton; such is also the case in The Running Man, but here, it’s former Hogan’s Hero Richard Dawson who does the scene-stealing. The results, while both entertaining and thought-provoking, may not speak for themselves, though. The picture is,filled with.stagey cartoon violence, the sort of thing most Arnold fans .have come to expect. And let’s not kid _ourselves, the movie’s makers intended this to be its prime draw. But, whether on purpose or inadvertently, director Paul Michael Glaser has pu! on film a society as bleak and oppressive as-the one Radford filmed for 1984. And, in doing so, he’s made The Running Man moderately intelligent a’ndextremely visionary. The Running Man is the toprated television game show in -the facist U.S. in the year 2017. The show is hosted by Damon Killian‘ (Richard Dawson) who comes on like a cross between Senator McCarthy and, . . . well, Richard Dawson. Each week, Killian sends dissenters against the oppressive police state into the game zone, 400 square blocks of earthquake-battered Los An-

geles, where they ‘face the Stalkers. The show is wildly popular, and is watched by almost everyone. The people don3 have much of a choice, though, since all programming is ccintrolled by the government. Jndeed, in the America of The Running Man, Orwell% bleak vision is realized: television controls the populace. ’ One day, while searching for contestants who will bring up the show’s ratings, Killian sees news footage of a prison breakout, masterminded in part by former police officer Ben Richards (Schwarzenegger), unjustly imprisoned for refusing to fire on unarmed rioters. Killian 6knows- Richards will be a great

contestant, so he pulls a few strings and gets him re-captured. The next night, the studio audience cheers wildly as “The Buthcher of Bakersfield”, as F& chards is known (the government framed him, purporting that he actualJy did fire on the rioters), is launched into the game zone. . t ( Herein, Richards faces the aforementioned Stalkers, who go by handles like Buzzsaw, Dynamo, and Fireball, all colourful characters who are very popular with the fans. But Richards dispenses with this lot, and also manages ‘to deliver a satellite code to a resistance group hidden someyhere ip the Rami zone,

settihg the stage for a rebel inI surrection. The trouble with The Running Man is _that those elements which make it so thought-provoking will also be (indeed, already have been) its critical undoing. T.hepicture is sure to be labelled as a mindless violencefest by many, mast of whom haven’t bothered to (or c+n’t) understand the context in which this mindless violence is taking place. The depiction of Running Man-era America is one of the darkest and most disturbing socio-political visions in the body of science fiction cinema.

political-military-industrial complex, for the purpose of controlling the populace’? The Running Man serves this regime perfectly; it eliminates any potential troublemakers, and provides the public. with its circuses+ keeping them subdued and giving them enemies ‘to cheer against. Damon Killian is the perfect ringleader. He humiliates the “contestants”, befofe sending them to their deaths, and exhorts the audience to do the same. In the process, a good, hea!thy hatred is built up, which is then quenched by the Stalkers. Any resemblance between’ the Stalkers and the WWF stars of today is not accidental; both stir up the audience, build hatred, and breed loyalty. As Killian, Richard Dawson is one of the vilest baddies in recent memory, and his character is given a perverse twist thanks to his days on television’s Family Feud. The bottom line is that the worst thing about The Running Man is Schwarzenegger. The jokes are trite, the accent lumpy: because of the reputation attendant with his name, his very presence in the picture detracts. from its visionary tone. Perhaps if the makers had ca’st a lesser known but equally adept actor (like Michael Dudikoff!), the picture wauid be taken mare seriously. But we get Schwarzenegger, and the studio gets profits. This should not detract from the power of the non-schwarzenegger scenes, though. In one of the more powerful, Killian receives a phorie call while he’s ih his office, contemplating what to do now that Richards has offed two Stalkers: “Mr. Killian, it’s .. *_.

King and Ta feast. of soUrids and images by, Leslie Perreult Imprint staff

Siamese King’s palace. With large gold-accented columns, enormous golden Oriezltal lion .figures, metallic spires and domes -of temples in the background, and colorful glittering costumes in the foreground, Lawrence Schafer’s set dazzles.

The November 19 performance of The King and I at the Centre in the Square was. absolutely sensational. From beginning to end, the Rodgers and Hamierstein musical filled the theatre with a feast of wonderful images and sounds. ’ After the orchestra’s pleasant introduction, the Welsh school mistress Anna and her son Louis sing the cheerful number I Whistle A Happy Tune. Next, they appear on the striking set of the

The King’s character is fascinating and Dale Mieske plays the part well. Though dictatorial at first, the King’s humour appears later in conversation with Anna. Mieske’s facial expressions and exact movements expertly convey the King’s unforgettable character. A King

who has 15 wives and 75 children, with three more on the way, is a unique man to portray. Anna, played by Deano Seward, brings out the best and. worst in the King. Her strong will refuses to let Anna accept the role as servant in the Palace. As a result, the relationship between the King and Anna sizzles. Seward is impressive both in capturing Anna’s vivacity and in her strong singing. The entire cast consists of more than 80 performers. It’s amazing how director/choreo-

grapher Alan Lund united royal wives, dancers, slaves, priests, princes and princesses to create an almost flawless moving, sometimes rushing, sometimes graceful production. The entrance of the children warms the heart. Deborah Ludolph and Elizabeth Mawson, playing Tuptim and Lady Thiang, possess especially impressive singing talents. Recognizable songs such as Getting to Know You, Something Wonderful, and Hello, Young Lovers, add all the more to the delights of the play. The

amusing ballet The Small House of Uncle Thomas within the play is full of surprises, humor and color. Even the two young roles of Anna’s son Louis and Prince Chululongkorn, played by Jonathan Hill and Michael Rittinger, were splendid although, the orchestra overpowered their singing at some points. If other Kitchener-Waterloo musical productions are anywhere near as striking as the seven-run performance Vof The King and I, it’s well worth any student’s trip to the Centre in the Square.

VANIER by Tim Walker

The McGill Redmen finished off a very successful rebuilding year by winning the Vanier Cup last Saturday (November 21). The 47-11 score was not indicative of the game. Although McGill defeated UBC by more than sev.entouchdowns they had tinly 40 more yards in total offence. McGill had 386 total yards while UBC had 346. The landslide result was the product of UBC mistakes and incredible I luck by McGill. The first quarter of the game belonged very much to the URIC Thunderbirds (86 total yards to 27 total yards). They only amassed three points in this quarter even though they were inside the Redmen’s 25 yard-line twice. UBC’s place kicker (Bellefontaine) missed a routine 32 yard field goal when he hit the upright. The first quarter set the tone for the game. UBC’s passing was inconsistent. They were gaining good yardage but could not sus- ~ tain a drive against McGill’s defensive backs. McGill was already starting to run pffectively. ,,Mike Soles,” their star run&&a&+-had a 4.8-yarbspercarry average in the opening quarter. ’

CUP BLOWOlJ*T UBC started the thirc 1 nllarter ---- ___ by trying to develop a running game. After two unsuccessful runs they were forced to punt. McGill got the ball at the UBC 48. Soles ran 48 yards for the touchdown cm the next play. After the kick-off the Thunderbirds drove 84 yards to the McGill 5 but came atiay with no points - incomplete passes again. Near the end of the third quarter, a seven-yard net gain from a UBC punt left the Redmen in the UBC half of the field. This resulted in a field goal early in the. fourth quarter. This gave McGill a N-point lead. The fourth quarter was a disaster for the Thunderbirds, They This were outscored 23-8. thrashing included a Vanier Cup record 67-yard interception return for a touchdown: a da-yard ‘punt return and two of Gerry Ifill’s record tying three touchdowns.

At the beginning of the second quarter another lengthy UBC .drive died because of incomplete passes. McGill then went 93 yards for the first major score of the game. Soles and his backfield partner, Gerry Ifill, combined for 54 of the yards. Later in the second quarter there waq a series of plays that determined the outcome of the game. First of all, the UBC punter got off a punt of 20 yards. This gave McGill the ball at midfield. Two plays later ‘UBC recovered a fumble. UBC then lost a fumble at their 40 yard line on the nex,t play. McGill had a pass intercepted in the UBC endzone two plays later. For reasons unknown, the UBC defensive back decided to run the ball out of the endzone and he fumbled the ball away at his own nink yard line. On the neit play, Soles ran the ball in .for a Redmen touchdown.

the bottom end of his hat trick and Coulter finished them off with his second of the night. The Warriors, unfort.unately, were unsuccessful at home (the first 10s:~at home this season) against the Blues.

V-ball: Warriors Heading into 1988, the Waterloo JWarriors volleyball squad sports a flawless record of six wins and no losses, They’ve lost only one game in these six matches, totally dominating the opposition. Recently, the Warriors have drubbed Brock, Laurier and Guelph all by 3-0 counts, and look great heading into the Guelph Invitational tournament this iveekend. At Guelph, stiff . competition from Ohio State, Indiana/Purdue and York, should provide a strong test for the Warriors. A 6-O record is no thing new for W‘aterloo. A combination of

strong blocking, good defence and an overwhelming offence h& led the Warriors to many easy victories. Polish import Lech Bekezka has made a big impact on the team in his first year.
