Feds unclear on budget item

by Mike Brown Imprint staff

It all started when Joel Cracker made a public statement at Tuesday’s Federation of students election forum.

Cracker, until recently a candidate for vice-president [operations and finance) echoed sentiments from the Federation .executive office of current VPOF Andrew Abouchar.

The claim that Cracker advanced before the forum crowd was that the 1987 Canada Day event went over budget by 45 per cent, Shane Carmichael was a chairman of the Canada Council: he was the money manger.

Carmichael, a candidate for the operations and finance position in next week’s election, heartily disputes the budget formula which indicates an alleged 45 per cent over-spending for the past Canada Day celebration.

Abouchar supports Cracker’s “over budget”statement.

Abouchar just as heartily stands behind his figures which spell out “over-budget.”

The issue is clouded and veiled with accusations and counter-accusations.

Carmichael maintains the Federation of Students has included items on the Canada Day budget which should have been charged to different Federation accounts.

Abouchar argues that all costs incurred by the Federation that were in any way connected to Canada Day _ should be charged to the Canada Day budget account. As the corporate sponsor chairman of -Qnaaa Day, Carrni-

chaei had free reign of a $3,000 Fed-approved budget to spend on Canada Day. According to Federation figures, the total Federation Canada Day expenditure was $4187.

In dispute are costs Carmichael said were either not included in his original budget proposal or else costs which the Federation agreed along the way to keep out of the Canada Day budget account.

In dollar amounts, Abouchar said the Canada Day undertaking cost an extra $1187. If Carmichael’s figures are used, Canada Day comes in under-budget.

Abouchar admits “Shane did a wonderful job in terms of bringing Canada Day together to make a great day for everyone.” He does, however, question Carmichael’s management techniques.

Carmichael is not alone in his dedication to Canada Day. At Tuesday’s forum, all of the presidential candidates affirmed their support for the student-sponsored community event. Two presidential candidates and a vice-president (university affairs) hopeful want the event under Federation jurisdiction. The two other presidential candidates just want the event to stay on campus. ‘~.

Students to have shot at council seat?

by Mike Brown Imprint staff The City of Waterloo may switch to a ward system, where municipal councilors are chosen from distinct parts of the city.

Currently, eight councilors are elected at large by the entire voting populace of Waterloo.

The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) is the body which decides on such issues. The OMB is expected to issue a ruling next week. Two UW Political Science professors were among those who delivered written recommendations to divide the city wards for municipal elections, The thought of having a ward

system has caused some student leaders to publicly comment on the possibility of running a student candidate with Federation support in a municipal election.

Current Federation President Ted Carlton says students’council is supporting the ward system

proposal-

Under the proposal recommended by professors R.J. Williams and Terrence Downey, seven wards would emerge to serve a city of approximately 50,000 electors. Waterloo’s population is approaching 70,000.

Students would be spread across approximately two wards, namely, Columbia and

Uptown. The report considers the student vote, but seeks to avoid concentrating the student vote so as to eliminate the likelihood of a student gaining municipal office. *Part of the report states: “Columbia, however, includes a significant number of students enrolled at the University of Waterloo, thereby inflating the number of electors in this ward as well as in Uptown. In fact, there are probably almost enough students living in the University of Waterloo-Wilfrid Laurier University area to justify an exclusively ‘University’ ward. In fairness to the perman-

UFOs and that smoking

by Robert Day Having seen last week that the UFO community is notoriously long on anecdotes, short on tangibles, and skimpy on integrity, it’s generally an event of some importance whenever the UFOlogists manage to dig up some evidence that has the followers dancing in the streets. As mentioned previously, one such piece of evidence is alleged official American government documentation verifying a massive cover-up of the famous Roswell army base saucer crash in 1947, the remains of which have supposedly been squirreled away to this day. (1 could of course point out that this breathtaking, mind-boggling bit of verification that is being trumpeted so loudly is, like all other UFO evidence in the known universe, just another piece of paper. But that would be unkind. So I won’t .)

According to Terence Dickinson, writing in the July 4,1987 Toronto Saturday Star, the key document “. . . is a purported briefing paper presented to Dwight Eisenhower on Nov. 18, 1952 by then CIA director Roscoe Hillenkoeter. The paper informs the incoming president of the existence of Operation Majestic-12, also known as MJ-12, established on Sept, 24,1947 on direct orders from President Harry Truman to investigate the New Mexico saucer crash.”

The alleged memo continues, “On July 7,1947, a secret operation was begun to assure recovery of the wreckage of this object for sc&ntific study,” leaving no doubt about the existenceof thqalleged craft. Further study of the memo reveds that badly-decomposed alien bodies were recovered at the site and that “. . . news reporters were given the effective cover story that the object had been a misguided weather research balloon.”

According to UFO-devotee Stanton Friedman, ‘The document and its contents appear to be genuine . . . What we found points to a cosmic Watergate - a deliberate operation to cover up what could be the most important political and technological story of all time.” Unfortunately, trying to follow Friedman as he goes tripping down his yellow brick road gets one to wondering just how long he has been wandering around Oz without a road map.

FD~instance, Friedman finds it not the least bit unamal that thia massive cover-up could have been kept quiet this long, since, “secret information can - and is - kept secret for a long, long

time,” Let’s see, Richard Nixon was incapable of pulling off a simple burglary and poor Gary Hart can’t keep his personal philandering off the front page of every newspaper in the civilized world (and California for that matter), but we are supposed to believe that a 12-man committee, along with the entire crew of manual labor at the crash site, have no trouble in keeping the lid on the biggest event in history, even from reporters who are probably aware that your typical weather balloon doesn’t explode into shrapnel when it crashes, Another document in this affair is a memorandum allegedly written by Eisenhower’s special assistant Robert Cutler and dated July 14, ‘1954.

This memo was addressed to General Nathan Twining, then USAF chief of staff, informing him of a change in plans for an MJ-12 briefing. This last memo, according to Star reporter Henry Gordon, “was found. , . in a box of former Top Secret documents at the U.S. National Archives,” which got both UFO critic Philip Klass and the good folk at the Archives a mite curious. The resulting investigation left Friedman and friends with confirmation that had holes one could, well, fly a saucer through. In no particular order: - all memos are given unique registration numbers - the Cutler/Twining memo had no such number; - the memo itself wa’s not similar to other memos issued by Cutler, and was stamped with the label “TOP SECRET RESTRICTED SECURITY INFORMATION,” a bit of terminology that was not used for at least another decade; - according to Archives employee Jo Ann Wifliamson, “Robert Cutler. . . was visiting overseas military on the day he supposedly issued this memotandum.” Also, “President Eisenhower’s appointment books contain no entry for , . . a briefing on MJ-12.”

There is more evidence from both Klass and the Archives staff, and none of it does Friedman any favours, The overwhelming impression is one of just another in a long line of hoaxes, a little more sophisticated and daring than the rest. But now, whether they like it or not, Friedman and his groupies are in a whole new ball game with a very different set of rules. We’re not talking about mucking about in the darkroom fuzzifying a few pictures, oh no, what we’re dealing with here is forgery of government documents, something the boys down at the White House get just a mite touchy about since it is a criminal offence. In their zeal to pull off a coup here, Friedman and the rest of his munchkins may have finally crossed that fine line and they may find it hard to beat a retreat, hasty or otherwise.

Jewett speaks

by Derik Hawley Imprint staff As part of the Wilfrid Laurier University Festival of Peace, Dr. Pauline Jewett gave a lecture on Canada’s role in preserving world peace.

Jewett, formerly president of Simon Fraser University, and of the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women, and vice-chairperson of the committee for an independent Canada, is currently the federal NDP member for New Westminster and critic for external affairs.

A former Liberal MP, Jewett expressed a desire for Canada to return to a foreign policy like that in place under former prime minister and Nobel laureate Lester B. Pearson. “Under Pearson we saw ourselves, not as a neutral nation, but as a peacekeeping one.” It was that attitude

which originally attracted her to the Liberal party, she said.

Leaving the Liberal party in 1979 to join the NDP, she became critic for exaernal Affairs. And has since been on the Parlimentary Commitee on Foriegn Affairs.

Her expressed desire to return to a peacemaking foreign policy shows itself in some of her ideas: Jewett said Canada should no longer think Euro-centrically [a concept of Europe as leader), and therefore membership in NATO is obsolete.

Jewett discussed two studies which she said showed Canadians no longer believe in the “Evil Empire” model of the Soviet Union. As a part of this theory of a growing detente, she said “if there is an INF (arms reduction treaty) it is thanks to (Soviet leader) Mr. Gorbechev and the peace movement, not to NATO.” Jewett called for the disinte-, gration of the armed blocs and a return to a stabilized system of super-power relations. She said she wants to see a de-emphasis on the armed forces as well as a halt to the militarization of the Arctic anti the Pacific oceans.

Cities said to threaten

by John Mason Imprint staff Inhabitants of toda’y’s cities are quickly losing control over their surroundings, rendering them unable to deal with a host of social and. environmental problems plaguing these centres, says social critic and author Murray Bookchin.

The corporate mentality ‘that dictates how cities operate, coupied with ineffective centralized government, threatens both the municipalities and the countryside, he told an audience of University of Waterloo students February 2.

Bookchin’s lecture, the first in a five-part series sponsored by the Centre for Society, Technology and Values, was delivered at Siegfried Hall, St. Jerome’s College. The widely-published author and social critic titled his speech “Urbanization without Cities”.

Addressing his capacity audience of primarily Environmental Studies and STV students,

Bookchin wasted no time in win; ning over his listeners, With a loosened tie, he stalked the hall, microphone in hand, sharing his feverish concern for the future of our cities and their inhabitants.

He said the sense of what a city really is and what citizenship amounts to has been lost in today’s society. Our concept of the city is in direct opposition to what was originally conceived.

Also, he said the idea of town and country being in opposition has not always been the case.

Athens, Greece, he claimed, was the perfect example of the countryside and city existing in beautiful harmony. Farmers lived within the city walls and daily left to tend their farms outside. They were concerned about issues both within the city walls and in the surrounding farming district.

Today, the city is not only threatening the countryside but also the city itself. Standard metropolitan statistical areas are urban tracts encompassing numerous cities and states, he said. The country and city are

St. Theresa’s is a two-ye,ar Roman Catholic arts and sciences college in a poor rural, coastal region. Shifts in the economy and the general social instability of the country have left it in a state of bankruptcy. The college continues to function, however, on a “hand to mouth basis”.

On a visit there, Rempel learned from the college’s chief adminis. trator, the Rev. Efrem Rivas, that used text and reference books would be more than welcome.

Rempel said he invites members of the university community to send relevant books to him at Conrad Grebel College. Notes and telephone calls for further information or with suggestions of how to get additional books may be directed to the college. c

now being engulfed by these urban areas which are formless and without character.

What this is doing, he said, is changing the entire scope of city life. People are beginning to feel absolutely powerless to change their circumstances. The city had, historically, given individuals a common identity and purpose. This sense of commonness or citizenship is slipping rapidly away. In fact, he said, the city is now a place to go when you do not want anyone to know you.

What a paradoxical switch from the times when the city was where one,went for freedom and companionship.

With our citizenship, we are losing creative, artistic and intellect ual ferment. Today the main concern is to survive and adapt not create; he attributed this to the centralization of power in our society and the disempowering effect this has on the people at large.

Until the problem of cities for people and not for corporate interests is addressed, Bookchin ’ predicted no other social and ecological issues can. be effectively solved.

It is only in the neighbourhood that local concerns can be raised and dealt with on an effective basis, not by elected officials separated by miles from the people and places involved. He suggests

With this return of power to the masses in a realistic manner, we will witness a reverse of the, apathy which prevails in so much of our society, he .said.

Fee ruling delayed]

by Mike Brown Imprint staff Co-op fees have been up in the air for months. The situation is currently before the provincial ministry of colleges and universities. The question is about what’s fair and what’s a rip-off of student’s money.

A ruling by the minister was to come in January; however, the wait will extend by at least another month according to Federation of Students President Ted Carlton.

In dollar figures, Carlton said he hopes the fee charged to co-op students will remain at $250 per academic term. He interprets this fee as satisfying the costs of the placement department.

The University oi- .\r\jaterloo administration, however, proposes co-op fees ranging from

$325 to $425 per term. These are necesarry to cover extra teaching charges and to subsidize summertime Plant Operation’s costs which the administration says are incurred through operating the year-round co-op system, Since the potential increases account for more than Department .of Co-operative Education’s expenses, the extra charges have been continually challenged by the Federation.

Carlton, who said he is reasonably confident that the fee will stay at the current level, was disappointed because of the delay in the final decision by minister Lyn McLeod.

The university will have to know the ruling by mid-March to ensure a proper budget is prepared for submission to the April board of governors meeting.

However+ another first for women in the Arts is happening right here in our midst, and will not be missed or forgotten. This memorable event is, of course, the first upcoming “Women in the Arts Week” at Conrad Grebel College, February 21-26. Seen as a celebration of women in the Arts, past, present, and future, the event hopes to draw together women from the predominantly sectarian world of female Art, and give them a common meeting place for communication and the sharing ‘and celebration of their Art, According to Conrad Grebel’s Prof. Carol Ann Weaver, who conceivkd of and spearheaded the overall project, in consultation with numerous volunteers, there is a “need to know that women are artists”, both for the artist’s sake and.for that of the general public. Weaver also said that it was particularly apt that an event like the “Women in the Arts Week” should begin on a campus such as Waterloo’s, a campus that is often mistakenly conceived of as “technological or theoretical” in its emphasis. The entire event,. excepting the Friday night concert, is being offered completely free of charge.

Although the truth is kept remarkably well hidden, women, in their own right, have a long and illustrious herita e in the area of the Arts. The a umber of

I Moon Joyce “firsts” achieved by women are numerous, yet, strangely enough, remain noticeably absent from the annals of history.

Unknown to many, some of these firsts include Hildegard of Bingen, the first single writer of a liturgical morality play; Clara Schumann, the longest actively performing pianist in the 19th century; Mamie Smith, the first person to record the Blues; Wendy Carlos, the first person to synthesize Bach; and Uretha Franklin, the first person to win

Briefly, festivities begin on February 21 at 7 p.m. in the Conrad Grebel Chapel, where Mary Malone will speak about “Liberation in the New Testament”.

Continuing on throughout the week are numerous events including an introduction to’ the

This uniting of artists and observers could well be the theme of the entire “Women in the Arts Week”, a theme that is expected to be reiterated in future years, as more people come to appreciate the fine heritage and fu,ture of women in the arts.

Linsay Dorney, an art show and talk by area artist Susan Shantz, and a-lecture by Canadian composer Ann Southam.

Also planned are readings by writers Linda Kenyon, Sandra Birdsell and Donna Massel, a showing of the film “Speaking Our Peace” (N.F.B.) in conjunction with a lecture “Women and Peace” by Hildi Froese Tiessen, and a Forum on a 19th centurv Woman Pianist, Delphine vo; Schaurouth, by Helen Martens.

Two events in particular, eloquently-express the purposes for establishing the “Women in the Arts Week”. One of these is the second performance of the musical drama “Timbre1 in Her Hand”, a multi-media work based on the poetry of Prof. Judith Miller, of Renison College, and the music of Carol Ann Weaver.

Centred around the lives of certain lesser known Old Testament women, Miller’s poetry is combined with synthesizer, electric mandolin, lyric song, chant, rap poetry, dance and reading, by Weaver. Ultimately+ the work is a testimonv to “women’s indestructibility;’ in the face of “laws which were unfavourable to women”. This perseverance in the face of adversity, is another facet of the heritage that belongs to women artists.

A second event which also captures the themes of the week, is the culmination, on February 26, of the entire celebration with the arts and crafts show and sale and the Moon Joyce concert.

Moon Joyce (shown in the picture), an alumnus of Grebel and Canadian folk artist, will sing in the Great Hall at Conrad Grebel, with the work of many regional artists shown before, between and after her sets. According to Lorna Schwartzentruber, co-ordinator of the evenings events, the Friday night finale will serve to “integrate music with visual art, artists with each other, observer with creator”.

Concrete toboggans sqon ready to take off

by Jacquie Griffin Imprint staff The University of Waterloo’s concrete toboggan team is once again participating in the Great Northern Toboggan Race. This year the race wil1 be held in Vancouver February 26 and 27.

The team, which consists of 33 fourth-year civil engineers, has six toboggans all designed by its participants. Waterloo is the only engineering school east of Manitoba to participate in the event.

To design a concrete toboggan, several stipulatiorls are given.

The running surface must be made entirely of concrete and the toboggan itself can weigh no more than 250 pounds. It also must have safety brakes and the ability to carry five of the six team members; Waterloo won’ the competition two years ago and has also won the spirit award every year the school has participated in the event, Team member.Don Kudo sees funding as the most important. issue fur the team. This year’s budget is estimated-at $23,375.

Funds are raised through annual raffles held by the team, which included a microwave and a VCR

time childcare workers, for instance, cannot hope for an increase as the orga’nization itself is totally occupied by women. If one compares these *omen with a male-dominated field such as postal carriers, it is easy to see unfairness and imbalance. Unfortunately the bill cannot be used across organizations, but only within.+’ Scott expects there to be some opposition from women’s groups as a result of this.

She also expects there to be a few problems in regards to resistance from the men that will be most affected. Scott sees blue collar jobs as being most prone to* pay equity. Justifying the change in wages may be a problem, as many of these men have established views as to why “me’n’s work” is worth more than “women’s work”, “It may be difficult for some men to understand that a job is not necessarily measured in terms of physical labour or the * amount of dirt one must work with,” she said. .

Scott is in charge of pay equity on campus for personnel staff while Dorothy Brisbin heads changes for UW faculty. Although Scott sees some possible changes for UW once the guidelines are implemented, it is difficult now to predict the extent to these. She stated: “The most important aspect of all of this is that people will finally be paid according to the same’ set ot values, and not simply preset social biases.”

by Jacquie Griffin Imprint staff Persons with a variety of physical disabilities are gaining further independence with the help of computer technology. A telecommunications network centered at the University of Calgary will not only enable easy access to information, but will also provide a means of twoway communication between individuals across Canada.

The system, entitled DISC (Disability Information Services of Canada), gives disabled persons the opportunity to not only locate information, but also to send mail to specific persons or groups of people, hold electronic phone conversations and to even find persons who share a common interest. Computer confer-

ences can also be held on the system. Information can therefore be sent out through a sound mechanism (TTD] for those who are hearing impa’ired. Users can access the system using almost any recent microcomputer.

Chris Hodnett, director of KW Accessibility, said DISC has a “revolutionary potential”.

“The problem of having a physical disability is generally compounded when tine is isolated. DISC allows those people, especially those in smaller towns, to reach out and thus draw together,” he said. Hodnett said he feels that, through this system, support groups and lobby groups can thus be formed to advocate for greater advances of persons with physical disabilities, As with any minority group, Hodnett said, changes must

toward realizing international security.

Dyer spoke of the “Finlandization of Canada”, referring to the international agreement establishing Finland as an independent, sovereign, and neutral state, and said he found nothing wrong with a similarly politically independent and sovereign Canada.

He discounted assertions maintaining Canada would need an army of conscript 8, insisting that Canada’s present force of 80 000 would meet future requirements. But, Dyer proposed the air force and navy could expect new planes and subs, although non-nuclear.

The future Gwynne Dyer described January 31 during his Wilfrid Laurier lecture holds a increased risk of nuclear war as the present east and west block alliances crumble taking with them the international status quo, unless the dismantling of the alliances is managed and intended. Dyer argued Canada could lead the way by withdrawing from NATO and NORAD. This strategy, though not necessarily the policy of any single Canadian political party, would see Canada commit itself to securing its territorial boundaries, especially sea and air space, to guarantee “horrified” Americans their security would not be compromised. Enhancing national security and boundary surveillance would require an increase in defense budgets, but Dyer claimed total expenditures on Canada’s NATO commitment is not the official nine per cent of defence outlays, but closer to 50 per cent of that total, Dyer, a noted militaryhistorian and syndicated journalist, said Canadian and British officials devised NATO, not as a military deterrence to Soviet aggression, but as an organization of allies to check the often dangerous behavior of the United States in international politics. He told the audience that in conversations with military leaders on both sides of the ideological curtain, none ever felt the other side was at any time going to attack them. The cold war was photo by Drew schpr never based on anything more I Canada should be making than distorted fears and every effort to gain neutral misconceptions.

Offensive album?

For her ll-year-old brother’s Christmas present two years ago, a l&year-old girl in the San Fernando Valley bought a copy of the Dead Kennedy’s Franksnchriet album. That album bore a sticker: “The inside fold-out to this record cover is a work of art by H,R. Giger that some people may find shocking, repulsive, or offensive. Life can sometimes be that way.”

The children’s mother, Mary Sierra, found the fold-out to be everything that the sticker promised - so much so that she wrote to the Consumer Affairs Department of the state attorney general. The matter was then raised to the city attorney’s office which prosecuted DK’s leader Jello Biafra, the DK’s independent label, Alternative Tentacles, and even the record store where the hitherto uncorrupted teenagers of California could purchase the.record (and where Sierra’s daughter did) - on the charge of distributing harmful material to a minor. The charges were dismissed after a hung jury, but not before Biafra and Alternative Tentacles had incurred crippling legal fees, Precisely what was intended by the prosecutors and their henchmen such as the religious right and the Parents Music Resource Cent re (PMRC) - home of every innovative and uncompromising musician’s worst nightmare, Tipper Gore.

The offending piece of artwork is Penile Landscape by the renowned Swiss artist H.R. Giger, a painting that depicts 10 pairs of copulating genitalia. The work has hung in art galleries without uproar, although that says more about the underprivileged .state experimental visual arts have in today’s society than about its alleged obscenity. Whether or not the fold-out is, in fact, obscene is a matter of opinion - although in my opinion, Saturday morning cartoons showing GI Joe graphically annihilating a variety of hapless tommies under the banner of the Stars and Stripes is a hell of a lot more obscene and harmful to minors than the portrayal of a penis entering a vagina; a natural and biological fact that is &ade obscene only by the warped and puritanical values embraced by Western \ sanctimony.

The targeting of The Dead Kennedy’s by these self-appointed moral watchdogs, though, is where the PMRC et al show their true colours. Why not go after someone like Prince+whose lyrics drip with innuendoes and who is much more visible if you want to make an example of someone? Simply because Prince has the money and, therefore, the legal ciout to not only withstand prosecution without any financial strain, but also to “sue their miserable asses off” - to use the words of REM guitarist Peter Buck. At the same time, the band’s notoriety and the dread most of middle and upper America feels for such sharp-eyed and forked-tongued critics as The Dead Kennedy’s makes them a better example than an obscure, but more outrageous band. In short, the prosecutors used blatant bullying tactics in singling out the DK’s (further proving white America’s credo that might makes right], hoping that either Jello Biafra would be intimidated and back down or else would be put out of business by legal cost 5, Thankfully, because of the trial coming out in Biafra’s favour, a legal precedent has hopefully been set that would see fewer artists being convicted on grounds that their art is obscene and harmful [to whom?]. Unfortunately, the precedent has also been set that the PMRC can obliterate the career of dny creative artist who doesn’t have the money to defend himself.

Are the Dead Kennedy’s a threat to society? No way. But as long as money decides power, the self-righteous with the bucks threaten to make artistic freedom an anachronism.

Fashioned perhaps on polis-democracy [representat ion by lottery) or on the more recent Ameridan ideal of equal representation. our oresent-dav democratic belief; are’s0 dearly held that the denial of these belieIs would cause unprecedented chaos.

But is this system one solely of privilege? Many would argue that it is a system of responsibility as well; a system in which the right to vote is equally matched by the responsibility to vote. Surely, if no one felt it necessary to vote then the system would fail miserably.

Is a system in which only a small minority of citizens actually casts their votes any better than an aristocracy? In a democracy, it is one’s prerogative to vote or not, but is there any practical difference between’ allowing only 10 per cent to vote or allowing all to vote with only 10 per cent actually voting?

The obvious response to this is “Yes”. There is a difference. But why? In the one extreme, only a select few, an elite if vou will. decide who will rule. in the other case, all are,given the opportunity.

True, these are very different situations, but in the end, will it make any practical difference? If 90 per cent refuse to participate,

then why give them the opportunity to? Why not take the vote away? It isn’t going to be used anyway.

Surely this suggestion will irk many of you. It is the basic principle of democracy that every person be granted one vote. And that the vote is “sacred”. Why, then, if so many of you would cry injustice at the suggestion of your vote being taken away, do you still refuse to use that vote? There simply is not reasonable explanation for this behaviour.

Once again this year, some 70 to 90 per cent of you will not vote in the Federation of Students’ elections. I will never understand why you choose not to vote. The basic principles of democracy hold true that it is not only your right to vote, but also your responsibility.

Live up to that respon&bility.

1 have suffered a grave personal injury today. I head on ihe news that the law against abortionhad been struck down in the Supreme Court of Canada. I was about to attend a,lecture on “Human Rights in Chile”, but knowing of the thousands of people destined to die this year in Cbnada, my strength abandoned me.

I will find it hard to live in a country that supports laws diametrically opposed to my set of values. What makes things worse is that the media is treating the decision as a cause for celebration, reporting on the time Morgentaler spent in prison, and making him into some type of martyr.

I have neither the time nor the energy at present to explain why I am strongly opposed to abortion, but I am open to discussion on the subject. To those of you who support the court decision, I ask for your empathy. Imagine (if you are against capital punishment) living in a country in which thousands of prisoners are unjustly killed each year, and it seems impossible to change the situation. I know that the abortion law has been abused since its origin in 1973, but now all hope of finding a better law (my idea of better) seems lost.

But I praise God because every unborn child is now in everlasting Glory - that’s my God. And for the future? For you who are considering this option called abortion, I wish to say this: “please don’t kill a miracle. Let us walk together and see it through; I understand with you.

Last week I looked at some of the psychosocial theories of causes of sexual orientation, specifically in same-sex oriented persons. This week 1 will explore biological theories of sexual orientation development.

One study [Kallman, 1952) attempted to address the genetic/heredity theory (the “gay gene”) by comparing sexual orientations in both fraternal and identical twins. The groups were selected so that they had minimal differences in parental and postnatal environments. The primary difference in the two groups lay in the genetic inheritance, which was identical in one group and not in the other. Kallman reported a 100 per cent concordance for samesex orientation in the identical twins group, whereas the fraternal twins group manifested a concordance rate of only 12 per cent.

While intriguing, these findings have been criticized because of the source of the twin sets (correctional, psychiatric, and charitable organizations were relied upon for the source of many of the subjects). and other researchers since that time have not beenable to duplicate the conclusions. There is no convincing evidence to date that heredity plays a role in determining sexual orientation.

Other researchers have studied hormonal imbalances both before birth and during adulthood as a cause of same-sex attraction.

There is supposition that prenatal hormone imbalances can alter the masculine and feminine development of the fetal brain and that this may contribute toward a same-sex orientation. (Murphy and Fain, 1978). Speculations are based primarily on research into effects of prenatal androgen deficiency in animals (Darner, 1976; Money and Ehrhardt, 19721, which demonstrated that female mating behavior could be induced in male animals as a consequence of experimentally induced androgen deficiency during prenatal development, Researchers speculate that there is a critical period in development in which the fetus is particularly sensitive to levels of sex hormones, and that prenatal androgen deficiency in human males could contribute to same-sex orientation. However, drawing conclusions about humans from animal studies is highly questionable.

Sexual orientation in humans is considerably more complex than mating behavior on animals.

Darner also did some research with humans that revealed differences in the way gay and straight males’ hormones responded to injections of estrogen (1975), supporting, they believed, the conjecture of prenatal hormone influences.

Although Bell (1981) did not do any hormonal studies, their research also suggests biological causes, especially for exclusive same-sex attraction; same-sex attraction “is a pattefn of feelings and reactions within the ohild that cannot be traced back to a single social or psycholtigical root” (p.192) and that *‘a boy or girl is predisposed to be homosexual or heterosexual, and during

childhood and adolescence this basic sexual orientation begins to beconie evident” (~~87).

These researchers believe that evidence for a biological predisposition for same-sex orientation is the strong link between adult same-sex attraction and gender nonconformity as a child. Both gay man and gay women were more likely to experience fac-ranging and deep-seated gender nonconformity than were heterosexuals. Bell and his associates speculated that “if there is a biological basis for homosexuality, it probably accounts for gender nonconformity as well as for sexual orientation” (p.217).

Comparison of hormone levels in adult gay men and women have failed to’ support the notion that this may contfibtite to same-sex orientation (Meyer-Bahlburg, 1977; Tourney; 1980).

Some studies report that gay men have less andbrgen than straight men; others indicate the opposite; others reveal no difference. Hormone level studies in gay women have likewise been inconclusive (Gaitwell et al., 1977; Griffiths et al., 1974; Loraine at al., 1971). Even if a correlation between sexual orientation and hormone levels was shown to exist, it would still have to be established whether hormone levels were a cause or a result of sexual orientation.

Many factors, including physical and mental stress, can have far-reaching effects on hormonal levels, and there is no doubt that gay men and women’are frequently subject to greater degrees of everyday stress resulting from so&al oppression than most of their straight counterparts.

Biological research into sexual orientation raises some important issues.. If same-sex attractioq is found to have a biological , basis, than the argument that it is “unnatural” would certainly be challenged, since something that is biologically innate is natural for that person. Parents who have blamed themselves or have been blamed by others for causing what they view as an aberration would be relieved of their guilt. Gender role expectations might become more flexible given the acceptance of biologically based gender nonconformity.

On the other hand, if same-sex orientation were shown to be biologically caused and gay men and women were labeled as biologically “defective”, attempts to use biology to “prevent” save-sex orientation might be implemented through such procedures as fetal monitoring and medical intervention related to prenatal hormone levels.

More research is beginning to suggest that there is a biological predisposition to exclusive homosexuality, but the causes of sexual orientation in general, and same-sex orientation specifically, remain speculative at present. It would appear more appropriate to think of the continuum of sexual orientation as influenced by a variety of psychosocial and biological factors that may be unique for each person, rather than a single causative factor for sexual orientation.

It is evident that same-sex attraction is not a matter of choice for gay women and men, but that it is a predisposition not influenced by the individual her/himself.

Before I begin, I want to mention in passing that I approached today’s writer with some trepidation. My only previous acquaintance with German philosophy was to know that Karl Marx is somehow related to communism and to experience the almost interminable angst of Wagnerian opera. I have hears of the German preference for the abstract, but, happily, I found Karl Jaspers’ The Idea of the University relatively easy to understand. The book was written in 1946, both as a guide to the expansion of the German university system and, after the collaboration of many German universities with the worst excesses of the Third Reich, an affirmation of the principles for the university.

Jaspers’ “idea” is quite simple. “The university is a comqunity of scholars and students engaged in the task of seeking truth.”

Therefore, unlike Newman and Gasset who either banished or made a tentative peace with science, Jaspers embraces it whole. “Because truth is accessible to systematic research, research is the foremost concern of the university. The university’s second concern is teaching, because truth must also be transmitted. The university is the corporate realization of man’s basic determination to know,” To understand Jaspers’ university it is necessary to know his conception of science. To him, scientific knowledge has three salient characteristics. First, it is arrived at through a methodical process. Second, it is a “matter of purely rational evidence++and does not require a personal commitment to its truth on behalf of the scientist. Lastly, this knowledge can be

Help Wanted The time has come for the SVA’s to talk about themselves once more?. . .

Those of you who have visited the SVA in your faculty know who we are and what we are about. For the rest of you, here’s the scoop: SVA stands for Student Vocational Advisor. An SVA is a volunteer who works with the Career Services de artment in helping fellow students with all aspects of career pPanning and the job search (students helping students]. He/she devotes three hours per week to office hours within each faculty. Ongoing training sessions help develop the skills needed to effectively help other students. In addition to this, each SVA is responsible for three outreach programs over the course of the year, with the aim of increasing awareness of the program in the university community.

So why the job description? Well, if you are a student who wants to contribute something to the university and to your own development, have we got a deal for you. The SVA program is currently looking for students interested in becoming Student Vocational Advisors for the 198811989 school year. Through this position, you can gain valuable experience: better communication and organizational skills, leadership and interpersonal skills, presentation skills, the list goes on and on . . .

Also desperately needed for 1988, is a co-ordinator for the SVA program. Like the SVAs, the co-ordinator is a student (this however, is a paying position). The co-ordinator will liaise with the faculty, student societies, the administration, and the SVAs. This position offers business/management experience which will brighten any resume.

Applications for the co-ordinator position mist be submitted

by February l&l988 and for the SVA position by March 9,1988.

Both application forms are available in Needles Hall room 1004.

Chileans caught in presidential

by Marc Brzustowski Imprint st sff “The only terrorism in Chile is state terrorism, and Pinochet is the biggest terrorist of them all,” said Svend Robinson in Santiago during the press conference concluding the Canadian delegation on human rights’ visit to Chile.

Barbara Jackman, a Toronto immigration lawyer, and member of the delegation, predicted Robinson will not be allowed to return.

Along with Robinson, the federal MP for Burnaby B.C. and NDP justice critic, and Robert Milen, a Saskatchewan human rights lawyer, Jackman spent a week in Chile examining the country’s justice system. The delegation focussed on the plight of 15 political prisoners condemnedto death by Chilean military judges, and on the justice system which made it possible.

During a January 28 lecture at the University of Waterloo, Jackman spoke on Chile’s system of military justice, commented on the country’s approaching plebiscite and highlighted current tensions between Chile’s military dictatorship and the opposition. Near’ the end of the lecture, Jackman outlined C-84 and C-55, the two most recent Canadian immigration bills, and drew some frightening parallels between these pieces of legislation and Chile’s war tribunals.

Jackman reported Chilean authorities have regularly opted to bring civilian cases to military tribunals: 95 per cent of those who appear before the military courts are civilians. One case, involving the editor of a newspaper charged with insulting a member of the military for publishing an article critical of the president, General August0 Pinochet, came to trial under armed forces jurisdiction even though the editor had directed his criticism against the president.

Military justice, as described

by Jackman, seesthe accused excluded from that stage of the trial which determines the case

against her/him. The accused has no opportunity to cross-examine hostile witnesses, and is given only a summary of the proceedings on which to base a defence. As the judges sitting on these tribunals are members of the military, picked by the government and the court itself, little chance for dissent exist.

“The whole system’s completely unfair,” said Jackman.

She noted that since the 1973 coup which placed Pinochet in power, civilian judges have, with no great protest, become another arm of the military. She said the same could probably happen here.

In anticipation of a 1989 plebiscite, which will decide on Pinochet’s continued leadership, the dictatorship has passed laws regarding opposition parties and voter registration which Jackman noted appear liberal, but are more repressive than the laws they replace. Under the new laws, opposition parties gain legal status upon the registration of 100 members, initially, and 33 000 within seven months.

However, the registration process, which requires giving to the authorities members’ names, personal information and ad- . dresses is an “open invitation to continue persecution” Jackman said. Two opposition parties have registered - the Christian Democratic and Humanist parties - but many more right wing parties supporting Pinochet have registered as well.

Another law restricts the eligibility of candidates. Marxists are not permitted to run, and their supporters may be arrested along with journalists publicizing Marxist positions or events.

Even if Pinochet loses theplebiscite, elections in the following year will be severely restricted.

That plebiscite, the major political issue now facing Chileans, has presented opposition parties with a moral dilemma. In September 1984, during the second of her three trips to Chile, Jackman said she felt the government’s end was neaE mass mobilization of opposition sentiment had created an atmosphere

Students- rate,

by Mike Brown Imprint ertaff The quality of student life at the University of Waterloo took top billing at last week’s board of governors meeting. Federation of Students President Ted Carlton made a special presentation before the university board.

At the January 26 assembly of the board, Carlton outlined the findings of the Knapper Report, UW’s Fourth Decade Planning Report, as well as some of his personal observations.

Both the Knapper Report and the Fourth Decade Planning Report pinpoint areas and issued of student life which are problematic. Carlton reiterated much of what the reports document.

He stated his observations, but continuaIIy remarked “there are no quick answers to these problems”.

The co-op system continually *cameup during the discussion as a major cause in low student involvement in extracurricular activities. Asked how the Federationclubs feel about cooperative education, Carlton

said “I think all of them would complain about the co-op system when their membership changes every four months.” j Carlton’s presentation pointed out that UW students were very conservative in their approach to careers.

The Knapper Report studied the heavy course load at UW, the quality of teaching, and the size of classes. Its author, Professor Chris Knapper, supported Carlton, saying there is a “zero correlation” between grades, jobs, and income. He continued by saying “I*really hope the report is considered.. . I don’t seethe university saying that, it’s [the situation) wide open for improvement.”

UW President Doug Wright qualified Knapper’s statement about “zero correlation”, adding “first you have to graduate - it’s all or nothing.” Wright also agreed the “poor feedback” regarding student life issues needs study.

days without review on the immigration minister’s word if they have no valid travel documents. But, as Jackman noted, refugees, by definition, usually do nut have these documents.

Although lawyers and church workers will not stop helping them, Canadians who assist refugees found without documents face possible jail sentences, In addition, the government’s power to turn ships around, Jackman predicted, can only victimize the refugees: the captain, unable to land the refugees, will force them out at sea past the 12 mile limit, keeping his boat, the refugees money, and suffering no penalty.

Bill C-55 establishes a new refugee screening system which will not accept people coming to Canada through any nation appearing on a Cabinet approved list of “safe countries“ in which the refugee could have stayed,

even though the UN. has recognized refugees’ choice of destination. Jackman said 90 per cent of refugees would fail the “safe country” test. The result would be “refugees in orbit“, shuttled between nations who will not accept them. The new bills are the result of “very successful mismanagement” of the refugee system by immigration officials, said Jackman: “the government invites the abuse, then uses the abuse to close the door.”

The lively discussion period following Jackmans lecture returned to the topic of Chile‘s plebiscite, and, as opposing views were aired on the registration dilemma, one member of the audience, commenting on innate North American paternalism, urged that only the Chileans could decide, and that their decision must be respected. One must remeber who nlaced Pinochet in power. *

Barbara Jackman The plebiscite, in asking the Chilean people to choose between Pinochet continuing as president and elections the* following year, forces them to register for the vote and implicitly support the dictatorship and its 1980 constitution, or boycott the referendum and see Pinochet remain in power. She added that the split between supporters of registration and those who support boycott has left the opposition and human rights groups demoralized and inactive.

A Chilean in the audience expressed a popular sentiment: “yes” tells Pinochet to stay and “no” tells him not to go. Although Jackman said she supports the boycott, she maintained Chileans must decide for themselves.

Canada’s official activity in Chile has dealt mainly with trade and “high profile” refugee cases like that of Chilean woman burned by police forces and brought to Canada for treatment, reported Jackman. But embassy officials left the delegation no question as to where their sympathies lay. Commenting on the case of Carlos Garcia, a political prisoner forced by military authorities to watch the torture of his daughter, one diplomat admitted that torture of children was justified to extract information. Even the ambassador, when pressed on why Canada had done nothing for the prisoners facing execution (some European nations had offered visas), said they must have done something wrong, and said the judicial procedure was, at the most, slightly flawed. In her opinion, said Jackman, the procedure ,is “fatally flawed.”

The delegation has tried to organize groups of five or more Canadian residents to sponsor any one of the political prisoners. Once a group has applied to sponsor such a prisoner the Canadian government must, under existing regulations, process that application and interview the candidate.

Jackman spoke briefly about bills C-84 and C-55, the Tory government’s new refugee bills, Bill C-84, the deterrence and detention bill, puts suspect refugees before a security committee which follows a procedure essentially the same as those used

by Chile’s military tribunals.

The refugee is given a summary of the committees findings and has no opportunity to cross examine witnesses, Further, people may be detained up to 28

will determine computer dominance by. Elliott Simcoe Imprint staff

If it is possible to classify computer users into two groups, the groups would be those who use the Macintosh, and those who do not. The other major contender for a portion of the microcomputer industry is the PC, or Personal Computer. While it is difficult to judge which machine is better, it is easy to see the Macintosh and PC are very different.

The PC appeals to those users who wish to control every aspect of their computing environment.

When a PC is turned on, the only message to the user is a single letter prompt. Commands are cryptic, and seem to make little sense to anyone tiut the most dedicated programmer. The PC is a powerful scientific tool used for a wide variety of functions at home and at work. PC users think they are smarter, and refer to the Macintosh as “the toy”.

The Macintosh’s user-friendly interface appeals to those users who would normally be afraid of standard computers. When the Macintosh is turned on, the user is welcomed to the Macintosh world, a kind invitation compared to the PC’s cold awakening. A mouse [a kind of

hand-operated electronic pointer) is provided, eliminating the need for complex commands and inviting the user to experiment with all the icons on the high resolution screen. Macintosh users consider themseIves more creative than PC users, and insist anything that can be done on a PC can be done on a Macintosh more easily.

The concept of a friendly user interface is so popular that PC manufacturers are now building microcomputers with a standard icon driven environment similar to that of the Macintosh. Business users are finding it easier to train employees on the Macintosh than on a standard PC. Furthermore, once an employee is trained for one task on the Macintosh, learning ahother is easy because all programs written for the Macintosh are in the same format.

The Macintosh is seen as fundamentally a word processing machine;while the PC is used for a wide variety of business and scientific uses. The Engineering Department of The University of Waterloo has two networks of computers available for student use: one made up of PCs, and the other made up of Mats. Statistics have shown the Mats are used primarily for reports and

resumes, while the PCs are used primarily for programs and other course work.

But the Macintosh can be used for programming. Compilers, which translate a high-level computer language into machine code, are available for most computer languages on the Mac. Users seem to be under the impression the Macintosh is just a publishing tool, and not a scientific computer. A programmer who has worked extensively on the Macintosh said “programming on the Mac usually takes extra time because of layout considerations. The PC is an easier machine to write a program for, but the result does not come out as nice. If time is a factor, I will always write a program op a PC.” The future of a computer lies with the business community. A computer will not be successful unless business users buy it in great numbers. Until a few years ago, the PC had a monopoly on microcomputer sales to business. Lately, small businesses have been buying the Macintosh for its ease of use. But if a consumer does not have much of a budget to pay for a computer, he/she has little choice but to buy a PC. When IBM released its first PC in 1983, the company was not particularly interested in keeping the PC’s architecture secret in the interest of creating a personal computer industry. The market has since become flooded with cheap IBM clones. There is no equivalent clone for the Ma-

cintosh because Apple has not released the internal specifications on the Macintosh.

Because of the popularity of the Macintosh and its interface,

No way out once the country takes free trade plunge: OFL while the U.S. government directly subsidizes its farmers.

Hence, farmers under a marketCanada will become more de- ing board structure in Canada nendent on the United States won’t be able to compete with under a free trade agreement as cheaper American products.

by Dave DuChema Imprint staff

it “gives up” its power to stimulate the economy+ says the research director of the Ontario Federation of Labour.

“This agreement restricts the capacity of government to act in an interventionist way to stimulate the economy,” said Jo Surich February 2 to a small group at UW’s Hagey Hall. The OFL, an 800,000-strong lobby group representing labour, is the “centre” to opposition of the trade deal.

Surich, a former political science professor at UW, said the free trade agreement falls under U.S. President Ronald Reagan’s “sophisticated neo-conservative agenda” which binds the Canadian government to American “norms”, He said it will dismantle the Canadian welfare state, trade unions and prevent economic intervention as the government is “extracted” from the Canadian economy.

“The government hasgiven up its capacity to make decisions,” he said. Instead it will leave Canada more dependent on the U.S. in the future as it turns over fundamental powers to the giant nation to its south. Energy, service trade, investment, banks, food processing, clothing and textiles, the auto industry all favour the U.S. under the deal, Surich said.

Canada faces the complete restructuring of its economy which will dangerously bind it to the agreement in the future. The sixmonth sanction to opt out of the agreement will become meaningless once the economy has been restructured and Canada will have no alternative but to remain in the agreement, he said.

Furthermore’ somewhere down the road Congress could make a decision which affects the deal and Canada will have no one there to represent Canada’s views, “unless we become the

Jo Surich -former UW political science professor Jo Surich, now research director with the OFL, discussed the implications of free trade on Labour. photo by Dave DuChame The primary source of subsidization in the U.S. is through the massive military budget which is “untouchable” under the free trade agreement. This puts Canada at an extreme disadvantage as Canadian subsidization is “negotiable.”

“We will have nothing left to bargain with. Subsidization will be lost for us. It’s a bad deal because it closes a whole’ lot of doors,” he said. There will be massive restructuring and tremendous blockages to economic development, but the government has not developed any stra-

tegy to deal with the consequences of the restructuring, Furthermore, Canada has not been guaranteed exemption from the “Omnibus Trade Bill” that is currently before Congress.

On an historical perspective, Surich said the deal puts aside the notion of east-west trade which was the premise to the forming of Canada in 1867.

Under the agreement’ it would become more logical for northsouth trade while the east-west economy will collapse.

The energy agreement under the deal opens Canadian resources up to the U.S. and denies the government the qpportunity to manipulate the supply of energy for economic benefit, he said.

Canadian energy will become “North American energy” under the agreement. It also allows the U.S. to purchase unprocessed resources only to sell back the finished product.

Under the foreign investment agreement there is no control over the penetration of the Canadian economy by American multinationals.

By 1992, the threshold limit for takeovers will be $150 million indexed; controls on indirect acquisitions will be eliminated a year sooner.

Surich said Canada has agreed it would not intervene in the process of corporate restructuring, allowing the takeovers of Canadian banks by Americans, American ownership in Canada, and exempting American controlled banks from rules restricting the opening of additional branches.

Many of Canada’s “sunset” industries such as clothing and textiles won’t have a chance to survive under the deal because they can’t compete with the lower working standards of the U.S., he said, Except for highly sophistica ted areas, the .food processing industry in Canada will disappear. Small auto parts manufacturers and the service sector also stand to lose big because of the size of competition they face.

-.Phns to close UW Arts Centre generate debate

by Lisa Dillon Imprint staff

Reaction wa_s varied last October when UW Dean of Students Ernie Lucy announced that the UW Arts Centre, which brings prbfessional drama, dance, music and-comedy shows to the Humanities Theatre and the Theatre of the Arts, will close once its current season is finished in April this year. An immediate wave of protest from students, the arts community and the city of Waterloo, as well as support from individuals in th& Drama Department and the Federation of Students, was reflected in the local media.

Since November, however, interest in the closing of the Arts Centre has waned due to final exams, Christmas break, and the overturn of co-op students.

Many now see the decision to close the Arts Centre as ,the bottom line on professional theatre at UW. However, this issue is far from dead. A joint ,UW/City of Waterloo task force has been * studying the professional series and trying to find alternatives to closing the Arts Centre completely. This comwittee will present a report containing its recommendations in the near future.

Reactions to Lucy’s announcement have been mixed partly because this-issue is a complex one.

The Mayor of Waterloo, Marjorie Carroll, supports the Arts Centre’s professional series, and initiated the UW/City of Waterloo task force that is now looking at thr! issue. “I will do everything I can possibly do to have the professional programming continue. Judging from the number of calls we have received over the cancellation, there is no question in my mind and in (UW President) Doug Wright’s mind that people want the professional series to continue.“ Carroll indicated there is the possibility the city will provide financial assistance to the Arts Centre.

The issue of whether or not the Arts Centre should be closed has no definite right or no wrong answers, If the task force recommends city subsidization of the centre, this may prove to be the magic solution - a sort of third ‘option - to a very sticky problem with pros and cons on both sides.

Cash scores a touchdown

by John Hymers Imprint staff Somehow, it was possible for me, a regular-season foe t ba-II fan, to miss almost theentire Superbowl extravaganza last Sunday. I saw Andrew Cash instead.

A three-quarters full Prin xss theatre crowd saw him instc:ad.

The thing was that he must have been more entertaining than t-he Superbowl. [What was the score anyway? 42 to 10? What a barnburner.) Cash asked us why we were not at home watching that American spectacle of excess: he answered his own question with what was aptly named an Acoustic Meltdown.

he only wrote a third of that song .” Cash’s fiddler, Jim Ediger, doubled as a guitar player, a tin floutist, an accordianist and a back-up singer, gave the song an uptempo edge, which Cash built on with his manic guitar playing.

Stewart’s The First Cut Is The Deepest was split in two with violin music (it was not quite a solo because Cash never put down his guitar; he merely allowed Ediger to show off]. Cash had an other musician who provided sporadic backing vocals only, .Andy Maiz. He had a good voice, but his usefulness was questionable as he spent a good portion of the night on the side of the stage tapping his feet and

Cash stomped and strummed his merry way on a musical path that included such songwriting heavy weights as John Denver and Rod Stewart. Denver’s Rocky Mountain High was unrecognizable as such; Cash remarked after playing it that “we’re comforted by the fact that

photo by Phil Robinson bouncing around.

Cash did not play other people’s music all night. Sticks and Stones, his solo EP that spent part of its life as a L’etranger EP, was performed in its entirety.

Particularily neat was Sticks and Stones, released on the EP and as a video.

Hatcher

A few songs, presumgbly off of his future Island Recoids disk, made their debut at the show.

The trio had a lot of fun with Wresthg With the Nice Stuff, an older L’etranger tune that they gave many false endings in a Modern Lovers style. However, Cash did rely on a fair amount of covers: the band played an old Dot Watson bluegrass number, Alberta, which Cash explained was about a girl, not the province. As an encore, Cash- played solo the powerful Australian anti-war anthem, Waltzing Matilda and interpreted it in an emotionally remarkable fashion.

Cash used his face effectively: his expressions were often priceless. His guitar playing oddities (his stalling, his straying from original notes and arrangements) and his voice subtleties furthered his awesome delivery and his continual banter was friendly and funny. He stated that he doesn’t play Waltzing MatiIta much because the song has too many verses and he has, in the past, forgotten the words while on stage. Cash said, like all performers, that the audience was great to play for, but then he proved it by leading his band in a round of applause for his fans. It wasn’t sappy; it was honest.

Cash and his very happy go lucky musicians (they spent the whole night smiling, clapping and stamping their feet) were all around entertainers with a serious message. Cash talked about free trade, South Africa, and other issues: as well, his lyrics had a frequent grave streak in them. But Cash, Ediger and Maiz were not bogged down by any issues that Superbowl Sunday.

They just played and grooved and had fun.

Near hits like 99 Tears from the new album, Cross Our Hurts, came across with all the sheen of the vinyl and the added kick in the butt of the live element. A choice of covers representative of their influences and sound - Mr. Tambourine Man, Route 66, The Beatles’ You Really Got A Hold On Me - played reverentially, but without any of the “make it

Yup, there were some pretty normal-looking people dancing like fools out along with the usual assortment of Fed Hall back-inblackers, quickly won over by the bottomless well of guitar hooks, alternating sunny and bittersweet melodies, and brother Don Hatcher’s wild R&B-inflected sax-squealing.

Like I said, a solid show.

SPRING BREAK ‘88 Avon plays on

by Phil Robinson Imprint staff Don’t get me wrong, I can have as good a time as anyone else.

However, at the Guitar Jimmy Avon show at the Bombshelter on Saturday night, my friends and I were left unmoved. Despite my lack of interest, the rest of the crowd was very receptive to the rock ‘n’ blues set. Covers of David Wilcox, Elvis, and Rolling Stones songs were prefaced with loud yelps of approval.

At least half the Bombshelter was full, with only a few Leaf fans dedicated to watching Toronto lose another game. On stage, Avon was backed by Nick on drums, (whose wife had so kindly consented to his presence] and Drew on bass. Not an introspective artist, Avon repeatedly told the crowd how

good a guitarist he was. To prove his claim, he played his guitar behind his head, and with his teeth. After awhile, his posturing became tiresome, and when Avon told the crowd he would buy anyone a beer who could play faster than himself, I hoped someone would step up and blow him away.

After seeing Andrew Cash the next night, I realized what was missing in Avon’s set, emotional commitment. Sure he could play the guitar, but many people can do that. His stories about life, Nick’s wife and dating seemed to be nothing more than a standard routine used to fill time between songs. When you ask yourself, “Can you believe this guy?“, the answer - was an unequivocable no. Understandably then, we left part way through the second set.

The jamming aspect of the group came into play occasionally, when eye contact was made to lower the bass, allowing Blurton and Scott B. to match their respective distortion and acoustic sounds with guitar solos.

This was partly a case of greater familiarity with their material, but more so a display of a group furthering their musical pursuits with a solid showing.

There were moments of Jazz Butcher pop twang and a Chronic Town REMish number called Burn, and most in the audience knew what a fine rendition of the Velvet Underground’s Heroin they are capable of, but what I dig ‘bout The Waiting Room’s songs is that they play tidy, rootsy rock that is almost completely devoid of the “now it’s time to lean back into a guitar solo” regular timing. Instrumentally, Dave Beckstead’s bass leads moves the group’s music and Racine’s guitar adds the higher tonal quality of their sound.

N.Y.C. caught Beckstead in the lead role again with a bass riff I wish he would of continued throughout the song, since the chorus of “I don’t wunna go to New York City” interferes with the potential that the bass line

If the medium of television has any potential for noteworthy artistic creation, it was certainly realized in the January 31 premiere of ABC’s The Wonder Years.

I have a tough time watching commercial television programs because most are shallow and trite examples of television’s tiapacity for fine drama. Only a handful of shows in the history of television can be considered art: and I am not about to debate the purpose of a commercial medii. But, once in a season there comes a program that makes all of its peers look banal.

The Wonder Years is sublime.

It is a beautiful example of what I believe to be a motion picture that rings unmistakably of art.

That is it acts as a time capsule, completely self-existent and self-actualizing. As such it has a vitality of its own which speaks for

and

about

Here

we find an accurate. thoughtful and thought provoking i;pression of days in the life of a twelve year old biy growing up in 1968.

And the setting is as important as the story; the two are intertwined.

The show is narrated by the

Fred Savage plays young Kevin who is maturing - learning of life and from the lives (and deaths] of others in his world.

awakenings of adolescence.

If the series, following in March, is consistent with the quality of its pilot, The Wonder Years will prove to be an important and highly valued program for those who find art in television a rare occurrence.

by Trevor Blair Imprint staff Midnight Oil seem perfectly incapable of -making a bad album: in fact, they can’t seem to make anything less than great albums. Diesel and Dust, their third LP, is a hauntingly thematic journey through Australia’s parched underland. If you’re literate and interested, the February issue of National Geographic has an excellent feature on , Australia and its inhabitants. Lo and behold, there’s even a photo of Midnight Oil on pages 166~87!

The caption quotes Peter Garrett, lead vocalist, lawyer, and 1984 senate, candidate as declaring: “We’re full of hope and defiance.” And they definitely are.

Instinctively I’d like to say that this album is a progression from ‘85’s Red Sails in the Sunset and their debut: 10987654321 (Whichspent PP1*9*#19 at least two years on the Oz music charts]. Again, these three albums are all so good, 1 have a hard time distinguishing any variance in their expressions of genius. Okay, I’m starting to rant, and you’re still wondering who the hell this group-is. Come then, on a special tour of flat land covered In dry sand.

Mu&ally, this band is a “How can we dance when our nightmare to describe; if you try earth is turning, how do we sleep to separate the instruments, you while our beds are burning.” don’t get anything much more Beds ore Burning opens’ the appealing than nice pieces of a album and states straight off beautiful jigsaw puzzle. I guess that this is no airy-puff band I’ll call it modern-Austrailiandriven by beat-box formulas and folk. Put Down Thpt Weapon consumer acceptance. They have 1 seems to reflect Garrett’s disstrong views which they will not dain for the Oz Nuclear policy ignore. and relationship with the U.S.: ‘I. Einsturzende Neubaten who have pushed those boundaries further still. ’

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff For SPK, Australian avatars of industrial and electronic music since 1978, Digitalis Ambigua, Gold And Poison is an occasionally brilliant summation of their experimen ts to date.

But first we backtrack some 10 years: Graeme Revell, a male nurse in a psychiatric hospital,. combined his interests philosophy, anti-psychology, literature, musicology, semiotics, and information theory [either he’s a Renaissance man or a true child of the postmodern age] with electronic music and his experiences with mental illness which he used as a global metaphor for society and politics. He first teamed up with a schizophrenic patient, Karina Hayes, and later, Sinan, a Chinese psychology graduate out of Sydney who gives SPK its exotic, Eastern flavourings. The music they played in their formative years went a good way to push the boundaries of what can be considered”musik al”, providing much of the groundwork and inspiration for the likes of Test Department and

Gold And’Poison seesa softening of their approach in’ a- far more accessible effort that nonetheless retains a persistent experimental edge and otherworldliness. Side One veers toward relatively facile, danceoriented, electronic pop although it’s still far harder than pasty-faced electroboppers like the increasingly boring, selfparodic New Order.

And if the sea goes boiling ‘b;mk. can you tell me what you’ll do about that. . . put down that weapon or we’ll o11be gone, you must be crazy if you think you’re strong.”

With profound background vdcals, and Garrett’s unique voice, Midnight Oil perform with an almost surreal intensity, inducing a mild fireside euphoThe _ opening Breathless is slinky, superlative Eurodisco while Mouth To Mouth is wellnigh irresistible, heavy funk in a Chakk vein with its thumping, metallic bass. The one sore spot on Side One is Sheer Naked Aggression, an industrial dirge that drags itself into a quagmire of fashionable sloganeering and jingoism. Revel1 shouts in his best industrial/Nazi mockup, rhyming off politically hip hotbeds like Nicaragua, and El Salvador, accomplishing little more than showing how politically correct he is, Side Two, however, is stunning. Haunting and evocative, pleasure is created out of sound quality, repetition, and plodding rhythms instead of conventional melodies. Last year’s single, Znvocation, is awesomely majestic and spooky, a sort of combination ‘of Dead Can Dance’s ornate orchestration, brass, and sampled choral voices and Throbbing Gristle in their use of tape loops of ambient noise and spoken gibberish as rhythms.

Meanwhile, White Island has some of the most brilliant and chilling use of sampled voices I have ever heard in this condemnation of U.S. nuclear testing in the South Pacific. Against a backdrop of what could be described as a Thomas Dolby lounge song, we hear evacuated islanders gleefully singing their own half-English version of You Are

ria in the listener. We are then shaken, and hurled into Dream World. Directly intense, this song speeds by, barely .having time to tell us that our world is about to ftill and end. On and on we go, Warakurna showcases the desperation felt by the people living on this torn land: “Diesel and dust is what we breathe, this land don’t change and we don’t leave, some people Jive, some never die, this land don’t change this land must lie, some people teave, always return, this Iand must change or Iand must burn.” Sustained excellence, sustained intensity. A voice from The Dead Heart: “we carry in our hearts the true country and that cannot be stolen, wefoL low in the steps of our ancestry and that cannot be broken,” Short of hearing for yourself (this Friday at 6 on CKMS,) these clips of imagery are perhaps the best snapshots possible to lure you the consumer to have a look at the real Australia. BulIroarer, Sell My Soul, Some Times - all are vivid pictures of the land, the politics, and the people.

This album could go on forever, but that would cause more than a few maiketing problems for CBS. Instead, they leave us with Gunbarrel Highway, an endless,strip of road, guided by the signs of the culture and future of the land across which it stretches. “Far off a dull radio beats for the young uninvulved, the meaning’s a football , . ., the world is no oyster and here in this town, shit falls like rain on a world that is brown.”

Immediately distinguishable, Midnight Oil delivers another great album. When the rest of the worlds so-called supergroups dry up, they can come running to this bunch of Aussies for inspiration. A unique band? Yes, quite possibily. They offer a unique trip told through knowledgeable eyes and you should consider yourself invited.

My Sunshine, excited radio’ announcers (the famous reportage of the‘ Hindenburg explosion come to mind) count down with eager anticipation to the explosion of the bomb, and the ominous rumble of the bomb’s detonation.

Those are just the highlights, but on their own, they more than justify Gold And Poison’s place ’ in any adventurous record collection.

And if you’re into that, don’t miss Dead Can Dance’s new domestic release, Within The Realm of the Dying sun, reviewed last term in appropriately reverential tones as an import. Quite simply, it is one of the most gorgeous and moving records that I’ve heard in the past couple of years, surpassing anything they’ve done before and any of labelmates The Cocteau Twins’ recent output.

by John Hymers Imprint ataff Well, it’s time once again to see the world through the eyes of that good old American boy, Eugene Chadbourne. Chadbourne, as everybody knows, stands for Country, Flag, and Apple Pie. Actually, he really stands on them. Yet, Chadbourne’s politics are impossible to figure out on an ideological basis: 1986'~ Corpses of Foreign War included song titles such as KKKremlin.

Chadbourne is as paranoid about fascists as communists, .and this is very rare in liberal North America.

In this outing, Chadbourne shares the spotlight with Camper Van Beethoven, best known for their song Let’s Take the Skinheads Bowling, Chadbourne and Camper Van Beethoven are not strangers; Chadbourne worked with the Campers on their last album, Camper van Beethoven. This time, the hybrid of the two projects has a sound that almost defies description: Chadbourne’s offbeat weird guitar countryfolk-protest music blends with the Campers’ accordion fueled folk-rock and the mixture is tempered with liberal doses of eight jazz. There is something in the album for anybody unless the anybody expects, say, Tiffany.

Most of Chadbourne’s albums consist of his own songs with a fair amount of covers and medleys. On this album, he keeps his tradition of butchering other people’s music. He chops King Crimson’s classic 5 Talk ,to the Wind from more than six minutes down to just three, and introduces it *with a harmonica solo that I could play. His Zappa Medley does Frank Zappa proud; Zappa is always a fan of unchecked weirdness.

The best cover song on the album is Pink Floyd’s Careful .With That Axe, Eugene. He and the Campers jazzed it up and stripped it down to make it sound totally psychotic. That song needs to be locked up. But Chadbourne’s own songs should not go unmentioned, or unlocked up, for Psychedelic Basement is the most vicious swipe I’ve ‘heard directed at the sixties revival. -While the Dukes of Stratosphear had fun with psychedelia, Chadbourne makes fun of it. ’ So much for pop music. Chadbourne and Camper Van Beethoven have jazz aspirations on this record and this is ,where they really shine. They play Theolonious Monk’s piece, Baiue Bolivar Ba-lues Are in a serious way; considering who is playing, it approaches brilliance. The record center label is a pun on the jazz label Impulse; Chadbourne labeled it Pimpulse. Through out the entire record there is a jazz feel to it, and I think Chadbourne and the Campers do a credible job as jazz musicians.

True to form, Chadbourne’s boundless humour seeps out of the disk. His humour is what makes

it.

he would be just another squeaky wheel searching for grease. Maybe that’s all he really is, but as long as he plays his guitar in his lovable bizarre manner, as long as he loads his records with cacophonous sounds, and as long as he keeps his sense of humour, he’ll be cool.

by Trevor Blair Imprint staff “Nice” is a terrible word; it epitomizes complacency, mild bliss, and for most rockin’ dudes, boredom. This, the second LP from The Dream Academy is very nice. The opening single Indian Summer is a nice re-working of their old Life In a Northern, Town hit. The Lesson Of Love, In The Hands Of Love, and In Exile are the only tracks that manage to really distinguish themselves from the fluffy niceness that blends song into song.

There I go again - nice nice nice; you can’t get away from it.

Their cover of Everybody’s Cotta Learn Sometime is an anthem of niceness if I ever heard one.

Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox have returned with Savage, an eclectic, superb album. There isn’t one mediocre song in the bunch, the production (by Stewart) is crisp and inventive, and both Eurythmics turn in allaround convincing, committed - performances.

With Savage, the Eurythmics have molded several elements into a unified whole, Thumping basslines, washing synthesizers, and subtle guitar embellishments are everywhere, particularly on songs like Wide Eyed Girl and Heaven, Lennox’s vocals are excellent as always: she can sound like Mick Jagger on I Need o Man or like Neil whatsisname of the Pet Shop Boys on Savage. The vocals are often multitracked and doubled up to great effect, especially on the first and last songs, Beethoven (I Love to Listen to) and Brund New Day. The latter track, for example, relies almost entirely on Lennox’s voice to carry the melody, as the backup instrumentation is minimal. The Ic

synthesizers I are back in full force on this record, most prominently on such amazing songs as Beethoven and Shame. The lyrics are uniformly excellent, as the mood can shift from playful romps like I Need a Man and Do YOU Want to Break-Up? to more wistful tunes like I’ve Got a Lover [Back in Japan] and You Hove Placed Q Chill in My Heart.

Despite the album’s consistency, same songs do stand out. I Need Q Man, the current single, features Stewart grinding away on the guitar while Annie struts her way throughaan audition for the vacancy that Mick Jagger’s left in the Rolling Stones (are you listening Keith Richards?).

The Dylanesque I Need You seemingly a spontaneous take, with bystanders laughing in the background 7 musically consists solely of Stewart strumming an acoustic guitar, while Lennox turns 4 a great vocal and outstanding lyrics (about a woman addicted to destructive relationships: “I need someone to pin me down/ So I can live in torment”).

Beethoven stands out for the return of the synths, and for the brilliyt use of multitracked vocals. However,- this is not to slight any ‘of the other songs, since every tune on Savage is worthwhile in its own right.

These are just a few of the standouts of a uniformly excellent album.

Scream, a Washington band from the Dischord family of punkers, have come a long way from their Fight-ing days of 1984. Ever since their song appeared on the first FlipsideVynil Fanzine, the band has tried hard to detach itself from hardcore stereotypes.

Banging The Drum, their third

Please understand me. This is not a bad album, it’s actually quite good if you want to relax and fall asleep. It’s not as fresh sounding as bits on their debut, say, Bound To Be or-Love Parade, but it achieves in delivering exactly what The Dream Academy are all about. Unfortunately, instead of producing some excellent nice music, they only manage nice nice music.

One final note, the B-side to Indian Summer is called Heaven and judging solely from the one listen I got during the Diane Keaton film of the same name, it is quite a good and distinguishing track. The label says it is from the album but, alas, it certainly isn’t. album, continues the same evolution in Scream’s music that they started on the brilliant This Side Up LP. While this record has a few low points, there are enough high energy peaks to keep Scream fans satisfied. Uni.que lead vocals, powerful drumming, and imaginative guitar arrangements showcase the band’s songwriting abilities and musical talents.

There is a striking musical variety on Banging The Drum, People, People and Nod To The East show a more subtle approach, which is very refined but does sacrifice much of the driving edge in Scream’s music. Then there are songs like Mineshaft Burning, Walking By Myself (with a great intro) and The Sing It Up Kidz that return to some blitzing guitar riffs and bass lines. And while musical change is fine and evolution is dandy, isn’t intense hardcore what Scream is all about?

them, however, on tracks like Shopping, which seem to work their way under the skin in all t.he wrong ways. Neil Tennant begins to sound as if he suffered some childhood trauma -from being locked in his room with a speak-and-spell machine. The final track, Kings Cross, has a haunting line in it - “It’s only a matter of time.” Although recorded long before the British subway disaster, Tennant’s long-felt unease about the station becomes easily interpreted as a premonition.

You may have already made up your mind about the Pet Shop BOYS,as this album isn’t exactly

At its best when calm and most clever, the single Rent is a great social statement, delivered with such deadpan vocals, I break up every time I hear it “Look at my hopes, look ot my dreams, is this the currency we’ve spent? I love you, you pay my rent.” The Dusty Springfield collaboration is quite good, as is their supposedly ripped-off single It’s A Sin. Preciseness fails

Now the boys have a new single which was No. 1 in Britan for a while, and is doubtlessly being pressed by the truckload for domestic release. Always On My Mind, probably most recently popularized by Willie Nelson, lends itself perfectly to the deadpan-vocal formula. ‘Wonderful synth and soaring harmonies leave a rare crispness in the muggy pop world. The accompanying remix is a bit better mainly just because it’s longer nothing too radical, a bit of film voices at the drawn out end, and of course the stretched intro you must know the philosophy behind dance mixes by now. The b-side is particularly good and deserves special mention, Do I Have To is a slow moody piece a bit like Kings Cross. With a chorus “Do I hove to . . ., don’t say. . ., need to . . ., love you,” this song serves as a perfect antithesis for the single in both lyric and mood.

Well worth your while; watch for it.

by Tohn Hymen Imprint staff 39 Steps released a good EP a while ago. So why did they go ahead and release Slip Into The Crowd? True, many of the EP’s songs are on the record, but why don’t I like the album? Why? Too many questions and not enough answers.

I think the whole problem is the album cover: they look like a bunch of dorks, or in past a vernacular, a bunch of Duranies.

They sing about nonconformity, but look like they dress to impress groupies. Words like “I double album containing a number of emotionally-stiriing songs, half of which are purely instrumental.

Sylvian’s latest record, Secrets of the Beehive, is soothing and it opens one’s thoughts and emotions in much the same manner as his two former discs.

In fact, the music on this album gives forth a sound which appears to be a collaboration of the former vinyl. It explores the worlds of jazz and mystical synthesization. These two elements aligned with addit ional rhythms and harmonies created by horns, brass, and percussion create a style of music distinctly Sylvian: climatic, emotionally provocative, soothing, and at times, eerie.

As the music on this album incorporates the aforementioned characteristics, the lyrics explore the stages of youth and maturity, emotional struggles in life, and questions of the future

dance in clubs, I want to do just what I’m told,” just don’t sound believable from these Vogue cover-story type people.

39 Steps were discovered, sort of, by Woody Allen, and cast by him to be the punk band in Henna and Her Sisters. I guess with Allen’s make-up crew, anybody could be made to look like a punk rocker. They looked the part in the movie, but now they don’t. They should have been happy with their Warholian fame.

The songs are fair. Most of the songs are in a category that I shall call soft punk; all of them are marvels of marketing. She leaves this formula, and, in doing so, is the best song on the record. But She is not a good enough reason to buy this record. I don’t know what a good enough reason to buy this record would be. and nature.

In the song, Orpheus, Sylvian sings, Standing firm

on this stony

ground/

The wind blows hard . . ./ Sunlight falls, my wings open wide/ There’s a beauty here I connot deny.

The album’s first side is a masterpiece. Each song leads beautifully into the next, with the sounds of acoustic guitars and droning synthesizers sharing the lead. The percussion, strings, and horns stay, for the most part, in the background, save for the occasional trumpet solo on behalf of the notable jazz artist, Mark Isham. The latter side is as strong as the first in the moving melodies and vivid *images which it procures. David Sylvian has succeeded in creating an album which is unique, emotionally stimulating, and consistently appealing.

Three excellent discs so far.

apart from the story. The cast, comprised of both faculty as well as students, made up in enthusiasm what they lacked in experience.

A number of sceneswere weak in the humour department, relying on sight gags and cliched jokes to maintain audience interest, but still others were divinely inspired - ie. the punk-rocker duet in the bus scene. The writers held nothing sacred in their jibing (alas, even Imprint was not immune), aiming searing, but genuinely funny stabs at university administration, campus security, PBS, Brian Mulroney, Kitchener Transit and many more subjects which were close to home.

The whole production was well organized, presenting the audience with a cohesive show in which nothing drags on. What also helped was the technical very few near-perfection: flubbed lines and no obvious miscues which usually mar amateur performances. The hard work and hours of rehearsals were obviaus in the calibre of the ’ show presented, One of the things which I enjoyed the most was the musical accompaniment provided by : the very talented band. They ; gave the most polished perfor.mance of the evening in their versatility and great sound. The arrangements -and selections deserve praise also.

Warriors?

‘Add Gryphons and Hawks to death toll!

by Mike McGraw Imprint steff Who would have thought that after only eight games, the Waterloo Warriors basketball team would already have equalled last season’s win total?

Surprise.

Waterloo upped its record to 7-1 at Guelph on Wednesday night, shellaquing the hapless Gryphons 96-56. January 30, the Warriors trounced the Laurier Golden Hawks, 92-78. UW remains in first in the OUAA West and is the fifth-ranked team in the nation.

As they head into the final four games, Waterloo faces a crucial three-game home stand. The Brock Badgers come calling tomorrow (Saturday] at 2 p.m. in the PAC, while the Windsor

Lancers visit Wednesday night at 8. ,February 13, the Western Mustangs are in town for amatinee at 2.

The now O-8 Gryphons had everything you’d expect from a sadsack situation. From the haunting silence in the deserted stands, to the ghastly display on the court, it was a depressing place to be.

“This is the worst we’ve played all year,” said distraught Gryphon head coach, Tim Darling. “Waterloo doesn’t beat themselves, that’s why I picked them to win the league at the start of the season,” The Gryphons threatened to make a game of it in the first half, as they shaved an early UW lead to 24-M. But after some tutelage from coach Don McCrae during a timeout, Waterloo went on a 2% 13 rampage in the last 10 min-

utes of the half to lead 53-31 at intermission.

“McCrae runs a great system,” said Darling. “He really has his kids playing good ball.”

Guelph’s strategy on defence seemed to be “foul at will”, putting Waterloo in the bonus just six minutes into the contest.

“Our defence was just a joke,” snarled Darling. “We gave them 13 lay-ups in the first half. Hell, even I could make at least two of 10 lay-ups.*’ Of course, endless turnovers didn’t help matters.

Darling’s game film of the second half should be rated X. The Warriors showed no mercy, blasting the Gryphons 20-5 in the first six minutes of the second. Waterloo scored at will, converting gift after gift into easy baskets. The handful of fans went yawning to the exits, “I don’t remember the boys missing,” beamed McCrae. “Everybody plugged right in. We came over here a little nervous after Guelph had those two good games (close losses to Western and Windsor). This was our most complete effort of the season.”

Tom Schneider spearheaded the onslaught with .27 points, including three 3-pointers that hit nothing but nylon. Rob Froese hooped 23, and Jamie McNeil1 scored 16 and hauled in 14 rebounds. Jerry Nolfi added 11.

“It was a totally wrong call,” griped Coulthard. “The ref put Marcotullio in foul trouble and it was just a horrendous call. The officials didn’t determine the outcome of this game, but they put us in trouble early.”

As Coulthard simmered on the sidelines, Froese coolly nailed four straight free throws to put UW up 18-4. While the Hawks stumbled, Waterloo carved out a 31-g lead by the lo-minute mark.

Big weekend for UW tracksters

Ernst strikes gold at Can-Am meet

by K&n Shoom Paul Ernst brought home a gold medal from the Can-Am meet at the University of Windsor last Saturday (January 30).

Ernst’s victory was one of several fine showings by the University of Waterloo at the meet, which attracts many American and most Ontario universities.

Waterloo dominated the 5000metre, with three runners in the top four. Ernst broke away from the large field early to win in 15:01.07. Nick Cipp and Al Faulds, meanwhile, ran together in the early portions before picking off the runners ahead of them. Cipp was runner-up in 15:15.92 and FauIds had a fourth-place 15:33.00. Ernst used the race as a tune-up for the World Cross-Country Trials in Victoria this weekend. Cipp, a winner of this year’s Mike Moser Award, marked his return from a month-long injury with the race.

It was a big weekend for mid-

Three Athenas raced the 1500m. Janice Patterson stopped the clock in 4:53.90. She was seventh in her section, but the second Canadian overall. In another section, Lisa Laffradi and Marielle Rowan were second (5:08.06) and fourth (5:14.19). This was the first track race in several years for

The successesand smoothness of the track team’s operations in Windsor can, in large part, be attributed to the organization of head coach Chris Lane. This weekend, Waterloo sees action on several fronts. In addition to Ernst running in Victoria, Coach Lane will be sending his charges to meets at York and U of T*

The s&ret

of their sUccess

by Mike McGraw Imprimt staff Fluke. Upstarts. Cinderella.

Surprise. Shocking. Any or all of these labels were attached to the Waterloo Warriors basketball team when they opened up the season with three straight wins.

Now that they sit alone atop the OUAA west, words like powerhouse, juggernaut, contender and frontrunner seem more appropriate. Some may even mutter the word Halifax in passing.

The Warriors are trying to make amends for a disappointing 1987 campaign, wben they were turfed in the playoffs by McMaster. That squad was sporadic at best, but all-Canadian Paul Boyce made certain they remained a contender.

With Boyce and his scoring and rebounding titles departed, many pondered how a cast of unflashy veterans and rookies could compensate for a one-man band.

The preseason confirmed some of these fears. The Warriors lacked scoring and an inside game in drupping games to less than championship teems.

The hi-lite was a 92-75 thrashing of St. Francis Xavier before a boisterous home crowd. But like much of the preseason, the euphoria was short-lived.

After sneaking out an ugly 5854 win in the season opener at Laurier the Warriors have left only dust in their path.

The results tell the tale. The Warriors aren’t just sneaking by - they’re leaving emotion al scars. Waterloo has won by margins of 10’14 and 17, along with 14 and 13-point road beatings of perennial powerhouses, Western and Brock. The only loss was a six-pointer at Windsor+ played without scoring leaders Rob Froese and Tom Schneider - a game UW led for 25 minutes.

But how are they doing it without a Jack Of All Trades like Boyce?

First, says coach Don McCrae, you don’t even try to replace him.

“You can’t replace Paul Boyce.

We’ve just made some adjustments to our game.”

But what’s the secret?

“Jamie has brought his game together more every year he’s played - that doesn’t happen to every fifth year player,” noted McCrae.

But McCrae remains disappointed with the remainder of his front court. .“We’re still waiting for our big guys’ games to come around this is an untapped area. We need them, then we can move up another notch.”

The first half of the Athenas’ game wasn’t a good indicator of their talent as their playing was deficient in rebounding, shooting, and aggressive defence. Ten minutes into the first half the Athenas were in the lead 12-6.

By halftime Brock had swept

The Athenas made an amazing comeback in the second half as they played with determination that wasn’t present during the previous 20 minutes. A locker room pep-talk may have induced this performance. The Athenas quickly gained on Brock, with an

LABATT’S ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Warrior of the Week Colin Rogers Alpine Skiing Colin, a Sudbury native, is in his first year of Civil Engineering.

In the first two rakes of the season, Colin racked up two second-place finishes. Last Friday, Colin led his teammates with a gold. After winning the first run by a tenth of a second, Colin increased that margin in the second to win by= almost half a second.

Colin retired from competitive racing last spring after three years with the Ontario ski team.

In those years, Colin earned the 1987 Ontario Giant Slalom title, and competed in three World Cup races. His best World Cup finish was 53rd in a pre-Olympic downhill at Nakiska last spring, Colin is definitely a leading contender for the OUAA men’s championship title. _

Athena of the Week Jenny Clarke Synchronized Swimming

Jenny repeated her McGill performance by winning the Intermediate figures competition at the OWIAA ranking meet in Peterborough last weekend. She also swam strongly in the duet-B competition and team routines, placing third and fourth respectively.

Jenny is a first year geography student from Toronto. She previously swam four years in high school competition. Prior to that, she competed on a club teem in Nova Scotia.

Twins poach Badgers ISynchro 4th at Trend ~

On the weekend, the Warriors ventured to Toronto for the twice yearly East-West challenge at the University of Toronto Varsity Arena. Against York in their opening game of the challenge the Warriors survived a second game 13-6 deficit to defeat the Yeomen 15-9, 15-13, 159. In the finals against the U of T V&sity Blues the Warriors’ “terrible service reception combined with bad serving led to us not really being in the match,” said Atkinson after his team lost for the fourth time this season. The score was ll-15,6-15, and 11-15.

Atkinson, in evaluating his team’s season performance against the Blues, concluded that “when we get the pass our net play is stronger than Toronto’s but so far our inability to control the serve has prevented us from beating a team as consistent as University of Toronto”.

But he is optimistic his team will be much improved when and if they meet Toronto in the playoffs.

Speaking of the playoffs, the Warriors are sitting in the drivers, destined to win their division and-host the entire playoffs in the PAC. The playoffs commence February 27.

The team’s next opponents are Laurier tonight in the PAC and Guelph next Thurday at Guelph.

Both these teams have already been humbled by the Warriors in season play and should not pose much of an opposition. Barring the earth’s going up in flames before the 27th of the month, the Warriors will finish the season with an 11-l record. A similar record will be shared by the Western Mustangs, but based on the difference in the margin of defeat suffered by both teams in splitting their season series, 1513, 15-4, 15-10 (counting 27 for Western) in a victory for the Warriors, and 15-13,15-l& 15-9 (counting 34 for Waterloo) in a victory for Western, the Warriors will have the playoffs at home.

by Refton Blair Imprint staff Volleyballing Twins Steve and Scott Smith returned last week to St. Catharine’s Brock University, near their home town of Thorold, and made their brief visit an impressive and forceful one. Steve tallied 15 kills and Scott contributed with six blocks, pacing the Warriors to a quick 15-6, 15-0, 15-10 victory over the Badgers. Coach Rob Atkinson said their play was instrumental in setting the margin of victory.
