Inadequacies

by Jacquie Griffin Imprint staff Board of Entertainment Co-ordinator Emmanuel Pattersnn says there are a number ofdilemmas in his department he hopes are alleviated under the new student executive. Of primary importance is the marketing and promotions of entertainment for students, After seven months on the job, Patterson states this area has proven to be “in a lot of need for improvement,” Much of this problem stems from the Board of CommunicatioQs in the Federation. Theoretically, it is the duty of this board to carry out promotion and advertising on campus. Since he took the job in September, Patterson has done the bulk of marketing himself. In addition to the fact that this is not part of his job description, Patterson says “for the job to get done, it takes more than the work of one full-time person,” He views this as a potential opportunity for a co-op jib for students interested in the field of marketing and promotion.

Essentially, the Board of Communications is in dire need of a great overhaul, he says. Shane Carmichael, newly-elected vicepresident (operations and finance), seesthis as animmediate

task to be accomplished.

“Manpower is really what is at the root of the problem . . . des-piteihe fact that things needed to prioritized and jobs need to increase their organization, to maintain quality entertainment for students in all areas, the Federation needs to hire an increased number of staff.”

Without accomplishing this, Carmichael sees a continuing problem of poor marketing on campus.

Student societies also add to the dilemma, These societies, which take up six to eight weekend nights of the term, work through BEnt and, theoretically, student representatives are to aid in certain aspects of advertising for their particular campus events. Despite the fact entertainment is booked by BEnt, it is the job of the various societies to participate in the promotional aspects. ‘Patterson states: “BEnt cannot guarantee the success of these events (which are held to raise money for the various societies), especially when many of the societies themselves choose the type of band that they want to perform. . . this is therefore another avenue to help alleviate the problems of advertising.”

Both Patterson and Carmichael say the role of student representation in BEnt also needs

to be updated. At present, there appears to be a very unfocused description of what these students should actually be doing. “overseeing promotional duties is an important part of their job and I don’t feel that this is being done,‘+Patterson states. He says he hopes to see the student exec-

utive address this issue as well.

Carmichael aims to reorganize BEnt through increasingcornmunication between student faculty representatives. me proposes to do so through implementing mandatory weekly

Day, “You never know what they’ve got ‘til the show is over.”

Again, according to Simpson, Carmichael was operating on promised funds from the corporate sector - if there was a problem, the Feds ended up bailing Canada Day out.

There was a problem. The costs of equipment for the Village Green band and Columbia Lake set-up skyrocketed when a generator was needed for almost 14 hours instead of a half day.

The generator rental caused BEnt’s costs to increase from $400 to an unexpected $841.

The fact remains, the Federation of Students paid $1,187 more for Canada Day than they had planned. The Federation has already withdrawn its financial commitment to the nation’, 1988 birthday bash.

have a solid representation of students who are essentially supposed to choose the bands that they would like to see on campus. Although the entertainment coordinator plays a key role in this, the final say of who actually gets booked, should be going to these student representatives.” This would also allow for an increased involvement of the entertainment coordinator in other areas of student activity, such as Canada Day, Carmichael says.

In the future, Patterson says he hopes to avoid any potential disasters, such as the Simply Red concert at the PAC last September, which saw the Feds lose $13,000. Although Patterson did not book the band himself (it was booked just prior to the start of his job), he says the disaster that occurred could have been avoided had proper promotiq,p taken place.

Out-going VPOF Andrew Abouchar says, with the construction of Fed Hall, the face of entertainment has been changed on campus. People are no longer willing to pay for a big name band at the PAC, when they could experience a smaller band at Fed Hall, Abouchar says.

Much of this stems from the poor sound quality in the PAC, versus the superior quality that can be experienced in Fed Hall.

Patterson disagrees with this view. Basically, he says that if it is a band that students want to see, the bulk of sales depends more on promotion than where the band appears, as long as it is on campus. “The promotion for Simply Red was poorly (done) and that was the prime reason for it being a failure. Future big name bands appearing at the PAC will be given a much more solid campaign.”

Canada Day went over budget because Carmichael was forced to gamble on corporate sponsorship, which is an intangible. The falling out between the Federation of Students and the Canada Day Council resulted from the Federation’s complete financial commitment to covering every cost which was not covered by corporate sponsorship. Thirdly, the confusion surrounding Canada Day was caused by assumptions between Federation officials, Carmichael, and Simpson which did not necessarily conform to the executive’s wishes.

No one was truly in charge of the 1987 Canada Day event.

Abouchar maintains that Carmi-

chael should have been. Carmichael asserts that he was caught in a trap where Simpson supported having Patrick Hewitt classified as a BEnt event but Abouchar did not. “Hewitt was annoyed the Feds lost an-extra 81187 on the eve photo, by &~ron to attract people to Fed Hall and

The Idea of a University Present dilemmas in university

by Ted Carlton thoughts on the idea of a university moves into the present with a look at College: The Undergraduate Experience in America written by Ernest Bayer of the Carnegie Foundation. The report is based on an in-depth survey of 29 American universities and interviews with university administrators, professors, students, and their parents. It is also a personal statement of Boyer, a noted American educat or.

The most striking aspect of the report is its scope. Successive chapters deal with everything from counselling services to university governance to athletics to academic curriculum.

In addition to an analysis of each component of university Today,

OLD

life, Boyer spells out a list of recommendations for each perceived ill. In this short space I will limit myself to those topics covered by previous writers: undergraduate academics and the role of the student and the professor.

Boyer seesthe university as a vehicle for personal growth. He states the university’s mission is to build “a more competent, more concerned, more complete Human being,” In fulfilling this mission, other writers perceived conflicts in the student between liberal and professional education and in the professor bet ween the obligations of teaching and research. Boyer recognizes these conflicts but identifies them as symptoms of a larger dispute - one between competing forces of individuality and community.

Boyer sees individuality as a predominant force in the university. His suggestions for reform are a means to restore a balance between public purpose and private good within the university. “The idealism of the undergraduate education must express itself in loyalties that transcend self.”

Evidence of individuality is seen in the specialization of knowledge and the segregation of students into academic camps based on their course of study. Boyer calls for the adoption of an “integrated core” of courses that all students are required to take. The integrated core “introduces students not only to essential knowledge, but also to connections across the disciplines, and, in the end, to the application of knowledge to life beyond the campus. The

education

integrated core concerns itself with the universal experience that are common to all people, with those shared activities and the quality of life reduces.”

This integrated core consists of the study of Language, Art, Heritage, Institutions, Nature, Work, and Identity. Boyer cautions that simply requiring students to take common courses is not enough. How the course is taught means the difference between promoting specialized or general learning. In implementing an integrated core”the central question is not whether the curriculum tested is old or new, disciplinary of thematic - but whether students are helped to seeintegration across the disciplines and discover the shared relationship common to all people.”

bridge disciplines, most ‘students will nevertheless specialize in a particular field of study. Again, the idea of community is developed through the concept of an “enriched major”. It is first necessary to discuss what subjects are worthy of university study.

Boyer proposes a test: “Does the field of study have a legitimate intellectual content of its own and does it have the capacity to enlarge, rather than narrow, the vision of the student?”

If the test is passed the study of this field must be augmented to put the “field of special study in perspective+” The enriched major, “will respond the three essential questions: What is history and tradition of the field to be examined? What are the social and economic implications to be understood? What are the ethical and moral issues to be confronted? The intent of this program is to show how the “liberal and the useful arts can be brought together in the curriculum just as they must inevitably be brought together during life.”

What is the role of faculty in this process of building community? “Faculty must provide the enlightening and integrative foundation so essential to a successful undergraduate experience. They should not only be devoted to their disciplines but also embody and exemplify in the classroom the spirit of liberal education.” Like all writers, Bayer stresses the need for a balance between teaching and research. He states most prqfessors desire this balance but pressure from the institution stress research. He argues for an evaluation system that equally rewards excellence in teaching and in research when promoting or granting tenure to professors.

Finally, the building of community on campus is built in numerous ways outside the classroom: through a welldeveloped orientation that makes new students at home; through involvement of faculty, staff, and students in the university governance; through the encouragements of volunteer work by students; and through a residence life that complements academic activities.

This report is a reasoned and practical look at the present strengths and weaknesses of the moderzi university. It can be seen as a working document in providing direction for improvements to both academic and non-academic activities in the university.

Rob Day is on Vacation

by Marie Sedivy Imprint staff A Bombshelter policy requesting the pub’s patrons to exit through the back door after midnight came under attack last week when several students, including Imprint staff members covering the Federation of Students election, were forcibly removed from the pub after insisting on leaving via the front entrance. . According to Catherine Whyte, Bombshelter manager, the policy is in effect every night unless there are special circumstances, such as a band blocking the exit. The policy has been in effect for six months.

“The policy,” says Whyte, “was a joint decision made by myself, (Turnkey manager) Ann woodruff, and the Federation of

Students.”

While it is merely a temporary measure with which no one is completely happy, it was implemented in order to alleviate problems with the pub’s patrons coming out of the Bombshelter and vomiting and urinating on furniture in the Great Hall.

There were also problems with people spending the night in the Campus Centre.

Ann Woodruff echoes this sentiment, emphasizing that no one wants to sit on a chair someone else has urinated or thrown up on. This has become more of a concern recently, because “we’re about to spend money refinishing the furniture,” she adds.

While there is little to prevent Bombshelter patrons from re-en-

people on their way home. Thi problem has not been completely eradicated because not all problems were caused by Bombshelter patrons, but according to both Whyte and Woodruff, there has been a marked decrease in incidents of the sort.

Woodruff says the policy is not written in stone, and Whyte emphasizes that there is always room for flexibility. She says exceptions would depend on conduct.

The policy was not designed Acas a permanent solution. cording to Whyte, “the policy

while it is one way _ _ to smooth out some of the problems the Turnkeys were having with the pub’s patrons, “it is like killing an ant with a 14mm shell.” He emphasizes that it is a “quick and dirty fix”, and not a permanent solution.

Other solutions are being examined, says Whyte. These include suggestions to build a separate entrance into the Bombshelter and partitioning off the Bombshelter entrance. All involve some cost which would be absorbed by student fees.

Prior to the implementation of the present policy, the Bombshelter tried paying staff longer hours to move patrons on from the CC. Bombshelter staff also

Curriculum

tops Carlton’s

by Jacquie Griffin Imprint staff

Fed President Ted Carlton says educational issues are the most critical aspect addressed in UW’s Fourth Decade Planning Report. The report outlines university goals and objectives to be met throughout the 1990s.

The third and final draft of the report was completed in April 3987.

Although there are a number of educational concerns outlined, Carlton says that many of these appear to be far too general. Specific modes of attaining these goals are not documented.

Exerpts from the report include: “We will become a university known as a university which treats education as a shared responsibility of students and faculty, and articulates philosophy in its educational programs in terms of the balances between teaching and learning, between fundamentals and applications, between breadth and depth, between the new and the traditional.”

It is highly general Quotes like

this that-habe encouraged Carlton to carry the issue further.

Re-

cently, he formed the Academics in the fourth decade committee, to help address what the report done in specific has already terms. He hopes to acquire re-

list of concerns presentation from all faculties in the committee. Along with this, he would like to see subcommittees formed within each faculty to generate awareness.

The importance of education cannot

be separated

from

stu-

dent life, Carlton feels. “This is really a false * distinction.

In many ways the classroom sets the tone for what goes on in extracurricular time.” Further, he says motivation for involvement in on-campus activities stems from what .goes on inside the classroom, A university which succeeds in motivating students to be active and inquisitive within the classroom, will benefit from the increased activeness in activities outside the classroom.

Carlton has specified several possible areas to be addressed, including types of instruction and education, professor training and subsequent quality of teaching, general or “classic” education and how change, if is to be made, will be managed.

However, these are only general classifications, the specific auestions contained include “what A skills are necessary for independent and lifelong learning”, “what constitutes the ‘fundamental knowledge’that all students necd?“and “what training should university professors

The Soviet’ Union is making motions to Canada toward an arctic de-militarized environment. Defence minister Perrin Beatty dismissed the idea, claiming that any demilitarization would be ineffective unless the Soviets would be willing to demilitarize the Kola penensula (near Norway). Soviet first councilor Alexi Makarov said that Beatty overlooked the possibility that could be part of an agenda once the talks are underway.

New Hampshire Massachusetts Governor Mike Dukakis easily won the New Hampshire Democratic Primary February 16, taking 34 per cent of the vote, after coming third in the Iowa caucuses. Missouri cofigressman Richard Gephart came in second with 20 per cent, compared with Illinois Senator Paul Simon’s 17 per cent third-place showing.

Tele-evangelist Pat Robertson came in fifth (last) in the Republican race with only nine per cent of the vote after a surprising secondplace finish in Iowa.

Also in the Republican camp, Vice-President George Bush finished first with 38 per cent and Kansas Senator Bob Dole took 28 per cent to come in second. Buffalo congressman Jack Kemp came in third with 13 per cent and Delaware governor Pete du Pont took 11 per cent for fourth place. + Dole blamed his defeat on inaccurate remarks about his platforms on oil import fees and tax issues made by Bush.

which the committee will address are dilemmas which have troubled universities for a long time. These include such questions as “should there be a core curriculum for all students?” and “What is an appropriate balance in cldss size?“.

Though the committee is seen as an ongoing concern, Carlton would like to see some quick action in order to have some concrete results before the end of term. At that point, the responsibility would naturally fall upon the recently elected executive.

Amnesty The message John Kanyarubona, a Waterloo grad student, had for Amnesty International’s Wednesday crowd dealt with double standards and human rights abuses. He began with a summary of current events in South Africa, which has been notably absent from recent international media coverage.

The South African government, explained Kanyarubona, has put down unrest to a level they can control while the conservative wing of white South African Society has reasserted itself, Despite the release of one jailed activist, an elderly member of the communist party who ‘has since been muzzled under virtual house arrest, Kanyarubona feels the no meaningfully significant concessions will be forthcoming from the white minority government, and hope of Nelson Mandela’s release are ‘5s bleak as ever.”

South Africa’s absence from the limelight is due not only to strict

press censorship but to the effects of constant repression.

System makes library 1st in technology

by Mike Brown Imprint staff The University of Waterloo is first in library technology. As of last Wednesday, terminals were installed in every university library except for the libraries at St. Paul’s and Renison.

The old manual card catalogue system is now defunct as the library administration has taken Waterloo students one step further into the computer revolution.

Book searches as well as circulation information will now have to be sought through on-line terminals which are serviced with a GEAC 9000 computer which now has a data base of 1,702,OOO which translates to more than three million volumes. Absolutely every book, micro film, rare book etc., is entered into the data base.

Waterloo is the “alpha project;” UW is the first in the world to index its complete stock along with circulation info. Other universities in Europe and the United States are making similar advances.

The GEAC Computer Corporation Limited is a Canadian owned manufacturer based in Markham, Ontario. The 9000 is the most up to date system available anywhere and will be augmented by Waterloo’s currently limited GEAC 8000.

Students are still experiment-

ing with the catalogue terminals,

some more nervdusly than others. Six days after the terminals were installed student opinion was mixed. One student complained that the system does not let you retreat to the previous screen very easily. Most of the students interviewed were firsttime users. One user said the response time was fine, another said it was kind of slow. The card catalogue is faster if your looking tor books under a subject heading, one student claimed. Another user said it was only difficult to adjust to the on-line system at first. The last respondent said that it was a good system, “it’s like the one at Western.‘* Like it or not, if you want an up-to-date index of library stock and circulation info the terminal is your only choice. The space wasting card catalogue had its last card installed at the end of December.

Head UW Librarian Murray Shepherd and Associate Librarian Carolynne

Presser insist that

“anyone can go up to a terminal and figure out how to use the system.” They chose the GEAC 9000 and made provisions so that first time users would be accommodated.

“As you go along, there are advanced systems,” Shepherd On-line

said.

cataloging has taken

longer to realize at Waterloo because of the size of the data base.

“Some libraries show only part of their catalogue, in ours everything is on the system,+’ Presser said. Both Shepherd and Presser also back the GEAC 9000 because of its excellent response time considering it has to manipulate more than three million volumes of information.

In its first week, a few bugs were worked out of the system.

The Librarians are pleased they now have the resources to dissent from Library of Congress format which does not always suit Canadian institutions.

Index headings can be tailored to the students’ needs at this university which is exactly why the UW library staff is in need of student feed back. By adapting the system to Waterloo students, the library hopes to reduce some situations where 1400 books show up on the terminal during a subject search for library material.

Shepherd emphasized the system is not static. Future plans include adding refined key word searches and Boolean searches (combined terms]. The ability to reserve or recall material or just the ability to send the library a message is also apart of future plants.

The announcement of the GEAC 9000’s arrival at UW will not be official until March.

Oh yes, our black garbed reader takes the situation well in hand with her remark: “I always thought art and booze were inseparable. I guess not.” So, she sits by the door the rest of the evening, perched on a chair isolated from the rest of the performers and listening crowd, chatting with the bouncers, and enduring the patrons as they come . down the stairs and shove their I.D. cards in her face (“No, it’s not me!

It’s that guy in the white shirt.. .” ). She is a tremendous poet, and this is the first time she has a chance to air her works publicly. She’s an artist eager to share her gift. So what’s the problem?

Simply put,- Cat is a victim of unjust discrimination. Within only one month, she will reach that magical barrier that distinguishes legal alcohol consumers from illegal drinkers. But as of now, she’s only 18. According to law, the Bombshelter cannot allow her access to the facility for danger of losing their liquor licence.

The first year Theatre major introduces one of her selections “Cabaret” with the comment “Mind you, I’d probably never get into one of those either”, and questions the audience “Am I driving this point too hard? Do I feel abandoned? Do I feel offended?”

Okay, try this. Let’s wildly imagine all of Waterloo is hysterically mad over US. pop star babe Tiffany and she came to UW to perform.

Would the Bombshelter refuse her admission? Probably they wouldn’t book her in the first place, but think about it. Other bars must be making some sort of exceptions to their “firmly established rules” when a popular band’s underage members perform.

Laws such as these limit creative expression. Not allowing a performing artist such as Cat full access to the host facility is unfair, I’m sure provisions could have been made to include her in the regular performance, rather than ostracizing her. Couldn’t she participate in the reading without being served alcohol? At least they could have let her inside to sit with others at the tables.

Needless to say, Cat left early that Thursday evening.

Confused

policy-

In today’s rapidly changing and often confusing environment Canada is trying to find an identity for our defence policy The problems put forward are significant. Should Canada withdraw from NATO? How best can we provide for the security of the arctic? What will the impact of the decisions we make today, ten, twenty even thirty years from now?

Currently both the Liberal and Conservative parties believe we should remain and the NDP is reconsidering its stand of withdrawal According to Pauline jewett, the NDP critic for external affairs, NATO is Euro-centric (believes that Europe is of prime importance) in its direction and that Canada should be more concerned with the Arctic and Pacific regions. By these criteria NATO is obsolete and therefore should no longer. be a cornerstone of our defence policy .

This argument is not espoused by the other two parties. While they stress the importance of a global defence policy, they feel that it would hazardous to Canada’s interests in the long run. The Idea of a collective security may be a collective insecurity in the age of nuclear weapons, but Canada’s future is inevitably tied to the rest of the world anyway. A withdrawal from NATO would be a stronger signal to our allies, who are also are trading partners, than to our opponents. Although under the current situation the Canadian forces in Europe are to benefit of our allies more than to ourselves. It is however more important for Canada to have allies in the future as it is impossible for us to completely defend our territory ourselves.

The territorial integrity of the Canadian arctic is dependent upon the willingness of the Americans, by virtue of their being our allies, and the Soviets, by virtue of the ‘Americans being our allies, to allow it to remain so.

But lately the Soviet policy is becoming less aggressive than it has in the past. The INF reduction treaty and the withdrawal from Afghanistan is pointing to a new direction in their foreign policy.

Beginning this week the USSR has been making efforts to discuss with Canada the disarmament of the Arctic. Discussions of this sort are important and it would be in our best interests both politically and financially.

“Assbreath?”

In a letter to the January 15, 1988 issue of Imprint, Forgotten Rebels manager Paul Blais effectively summed Fed Hall’s attitude toward students: I’. . . the Forgotten Rebels will not be allowed to play at Fed Hall because the management of the pub doesn’t like the crowd the band attracts.”

This is not an isolated incident of the arrogance and iron-fistedness Fed Hall’s management has shown students since Chuck McMullan ascended to power.

The crowd McMullan doesn’t want to attract is composed primarily of * students - students who are paying off Fed Hall’s mortgage with a $7.50 per term fee and who are paying McMullan’s salary with their Federation of Students fees, This is not just a Forgotten Rebels fan whining because he’s not going to get to see them this term - I don’t even like the Rebels, but judging from the success of the shows of the p&t two years at Fed Hall, it’s obvioud that there is enough student demand to more than justify bringing them back. Rather than listening to the requests of its employers (that is, everyone who pays his/her Fed fees), however, Fed Hall has displayed sheer and inexcusable contempt and insensitivity.

Fed Hall is an integral part of many students+ social life and rightly so - every fee-paying student has a stake in its financing. And yet, as Mike Brown suggested of The Bombshelter in last week’s comment, students are treated as “second-class citizens”. Everybody’s heard of, or experienced, horror stories about strong-arm tactics practiced upon reasonably law-abiding students and anyone who seads the letters section of Imprint knows that there’s more than just a handful of disgruntled malcontents out there.

Out you go

Case in point: last Friday night, an Imprint colleague and some friends showed up at Fed Hall in time for last call after drinking at The Bombshelter where they got “happy, but not rowdy.” Upon entering Fed Hall, they were stopped by a bouncer who asked one of them how much he’d been drinking. “Four or five beers,” was the answer.

The bouncer then informed him that he would not be allowed inside because he (the bouncer) wasn’t going to be “responsible for his actions”. Not surprisingly, the would-be patron was a little taken aback and called the bouncer “Assbreath” at which point he was dragged down the aisle and bodily thrown outside.

That’s not only overstepping your authority, that’s assault.

Can you name another bar that treats it customers this way? At Fed Hall, it seems, you’re not even given a chance to prove yourself unruly before you’re shown the door. Bouncers are in student pubs to protect the students, not to flex their muscles on them.

The fact that such practices have been a part of Fed Hall for so long, however, suggests that this conduct is at least condoned

by Fed Hall brass. How can this situation be rectified? It seems that a shakeup will come about only if enough people let their dissatisfaction be known to the powers that be or charge someone with assault if they’re roughed up unjustly. Both Fed Hall and the Federation of Students need to realize that Fed Hall is not, and should not be run like a business, but as a student service. There should be no preferred clientele; if you want to hear New Order, you should be able to, but you should also be allowed to hear Sam and Dave or Eddie Cochrane or The Butthole I Surfers if you want, They should stop acting as if they’re doing us a favour by letting us use their pub. It’s our pub - we’re paying for if and we’re doing them a favour by employing them.

Headin’ for the ’50s Nostalgia: savouring memories of the gdod 01’days, hoping for the return of. those better times. Lies. Longings for paradise lost are currently being heard south of the border. New Hampshire has been the source of most of this noise.

According to the Republican apostles contesting their party’s nomination for president, the United States is facing a moral crisis. Strangely enough, in 1988, the enemy is communism, and the saviour is God. Strange because this simplistic scenario has never provided the land of the free with a successful framework to guide its actions or ex-

plain geopolitics.

Strange because this self-destructive mind set accommodates no change, and fails to recognize the complex motives behind other governments’ actions.

These candidates want to lead America out of the 1980s and into the 1950s: Uncle Sam was the undisputed big guy on the block; churches were full: every kid wore similar clothes and haircuts: white was right, and the trees would last forever as long as the reds did not gain power.

UW science home to wide ethical void To the editor, One point which has been slowly becoming apparent in our time in life sciencesat this university is the void surrounding the concept of scientific ethics. The university provides almost no opportunity for thought on this issue and, as a result, is turning out graduates who are incapable of even approaching the subject, let any valid alone conducting thought or reaching any valid conclusions on it.

A typical biologist or biochemist approaches scientific ethics most closely in fourth year biotechnology and biochemistry classes, where the impression given is that science is wonderful for making money if can get through the regulations. The co-op program, as it this concept stands, reinforces that science is to make money. The faculty’s alternative to this approach is to avoid the issue by concentrating on esoterica and remaining within the academic community.

One does, however, get to have lots of fun playing with sick bunnies and mutilating car-

casses.

One can always go outside the science faculty to address these areas, One can take Philosophy electives such as Phil 205 and Phil

226. A biochemistry undergraduate has two electives in four years.

The biotechnology option gives four. The above courses certainly fir well with the maths and/or engineering courses which are recommended, don’t they. And they sure are heavily advertised and aimed at scientists.

Extracurricular options include the Vegetarians Club of Waterloo, the animal rights activists, and other such rational, analytical thinkers on scientific topics. Even should you get past their moral indignation at you for being in science in the first place, the development of a “how can you hurt cute little bunnies” at tit ude by association seems inevitable. Surely this is even more harmful to one’s scientific development than the blatant materialism otherwise acquired by default.

There is a dangerous void in this university’s approach to life sciences. If we really want to produce socially aware people who can remain scientists, shouldn’t we be making it possible for them to develop.

/Nuclear neighboil idoesn’t glow in dark1 To the editor, Having lived next to Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories for 15 years, I must say I am disappointed to have never accomplished the feat of “glowing by night”. Could the cartoonist responsible for the antinuclear power cartoon [Imprint, Feb. 121 please explain how a person becomes luminescent, I can only credit this ignorance of nuclear power to the fact that people fear the unknown. Yet I do not understand why people choose to remain “in the dark” about the benefits and, yes, safety of the nuclear power industry in Canada.

As the world’s coal and oil reserves dwindle away, Canada must turn toward alternative power sources, as it has with hydro-electric power. However, with the world’s largest deposits of urtinium, and the world’s leading nuclear scientists, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited has been exploring the benefits of nuclear power for more than 30 years. In that time, there has been nothing close to a “China Syndrome” nor have there been any “mutant babies from hell”, Also, Canada, for the past decade, has been selling CANDU reactors worldwide, and these reactors have yet to break down.

Why? Canadian safety regulations and standards are far above any other nation’s, as are our products.

On top of that, Canada enjoys a monopoly on the world’s uranium market. This will no doubt result in a great asset in future years.

Simply because other countries are unable to follow safety proce,,..,......*....***

dures and regulations is no reason to condemn our own nuclear power industry.

Finally, nuclear power is not nuclear war, and the development of reactors and waste management

does not indicated support of nuclear warfare. Perhaps a certain cartoonist should spend less time watching TV and more time devel.oping an education.

Margaret

by Margaret Duffy (a pseudonym)

Chris (Gerrard, a pseudonym) asked me to write about my process of coming out for his column. He asked me because he recognizes the need For women to hear from a lesbian about what it has been like for her, Is is important that I state right at the beginning that my story is not either typical or representative. It is only one -of the myriad stories lesbians have to tell about coming LOterms with our sexuality in the context of a patriarchal culture. Yes, I am a lesbian feminist 3ne difference between myself and many of my lesbian sisters.

I assume that many of you know that the term ‘coming out” refers to the ways in which we come to recognize our desire to be sexual with people of the same gender as ourselves and how we go about acting on that desire as well as if and/or when we :hoose to share the information with people who are important in our lives and who care about us.

Given the social ostracism we face, it is never an :asy decision to make. And we make it continu111~as we meet new people in different contexts.

Lesbians and gay men are coming out to ourselves 3ver time as we struggle to affirm our right to love and our integrity as human beings against the lomophobia every one of us has been conditioned :o internalize from day-one of our conscious exist:nce. In my mind, coming out is essentially about lecoming okay with who we know ourselves to se.

So, now for the personal stuff. I came out when I Nas 24 years old. That is, I began to self-identify 1slesbian and to share the information with most If the people in my life. Having been involved Nith men for many years, I came to recognize my dissatisfaction with those relationships and my Nays of being in them through a long and painful leriod of feeling extremely isolated and someNhat crazy. I was zz at the time and wondering why I couldn’t seem to make my relationships be Nhat I wanted and needed. I had started seeing a :ounselor, a woman who was helping me understand m!ny of the difficult things about my emoional self.

During one of our sessions I told her that I might lave children with a man, but I couldn’t visualize t long-term relationship with one, When she asked me what I could visualize, I told her 1 felt 1 Mould like to be in a relationship with a woman. I lad never really entertained this thought before. t surprised me and shocked her. This was the leginning of my journey toward becoming a whole and healthy woman. I stopped seeing this :ounselor shortly thereafter, as it was clear she wasn’t able to be supportive of my decision to explore the possibility that I was a lesbian.

The nest two years where a tumultuous time for ne, I tentatively called myself bisexual, to myself :hat is. Identifying more strongly as a feminist luring the previous few years, I searched the litersture I was increasingly more comfortable with lor women’s stories about their sexuality and relationships. Surprisingly, I thought, there wasn’t very much available to answer my questions or reflect my concerns and thoughts, Having only ever met one woman who openly called herself bisexual and never any woman who was lesbian, I didn’t have anyone to talk with. I was afraid to approach the topic with friends, as I Felt it wasn’t something most of them would be comfortable with discussing. I knew of women who were rumored to be sexual with women in a casual sort of way. The people I spent time with were older than me and into sexual liberation and promiscuity.

But they didn’t openly talk about any of this. Soon it became clear to me that many people felt that being gay was acceptable

if you

couldn’t help yourself - if you had been so since First becoming aware of your sexuality. I didn’t fit into this category, didn’t feel I had this “excuse” or reason. I wasn’t about to be pitied. I could have married, 1 had been asked to on two occasions, This was a choice I was considering making, and why would anyone want to make such an unacceptable choice?

Light

is out It wasn’t too long before the answer to this question came into my life. A woman had started working in the office of the business I worked for who was openly lesbian. I liked her and we became friends. Friends of hers came by for lunch dates. Her lover dropped by frequently. Soon they were asking her if I was out as it was obvious to them that I wasn’t afraid of lesbians and might be struggling with coming out. I was appalled with the narrow-mindedness of many of the people we worked with. I found myself unable to understand what was so threatening to them..Didn’t the world need more love in it, regardless of gender? These people had embraced so-called New Age values yet they too were judgmental and bigoted. I was very disappointed, as I thought I belonged with such people.

Considering how alone many women feel when they first recognize their lesbianism, I was extremely fortunate. When I was ready to come out there was a small lesbian community I was already aware of there to give me support and friendship. I was nervous, but it wasn’t long before I was in a woman’s loving arms and a warm, giving community. I felt I had finally come home to where I really belonged. My joy was difficult to suppress! I ran out of the closet singing the praises of women-loving women.

Looking back on this period of time, I realize that I was still quite naive all things considered. I really didn’t yet understand that my being okay with my new found lesbianism did not ensure that those who were close to me wouldn’t have difficulty with it. My mom and the older of my two younger brothers were wonderful initially. They knew I had been troubled in my relationships with men and myself. The.y saw that I was happier than I had ever been and felt that if being a lesbian was responsible for the positive change in me then it was okay with them. There would be times in the future when there would be uneasiness between us; when I brought my lover home for Christmas for example, or when 1 didn’t censor my personal life from discussions with them.

The younger of my brothers and the woman he is married to are much less liberal in their attitudes. He thinks it’s a waste, she seesit as a threat.

Consequently I will never be as close to my two nieces as I would wish to be, as I like children and they me.

When my mother was struggling with her role in my sexuality, as mothers seem to inevitably go through a time of asking themselves where they went wrong, she looked to her older sister, her only sibling, for support. My aunt declared, “Oh no, she’s not one of them!” Needless to say, they don’t talk much about it, my mother being very angry and disappointed with her sister’s reaction for a long time. And the aunt I was once very close to no longer makes any effort to know who I am.

Hence the need for support groups for parents of gays and lesbians.

I often reflect on my family and realize that I am really fortunate. Many lesbians I know have had a much more difficult, even violent, time with their families (institutionalization, electroshock treatments, et cetera). Others are not able to come out to their families and through the years become more and more estranged from them. Some reject their families first before the family rejects them.

The bottom line is that it is very rarely an easy process for the individual or their family.

My friends have for the most part remained friends. There was a period of time during which I needed to spend my social time almost exclusively with lesbians, and didn’t see my straight friends very often. They may not have understood this need, but we persevered and are closer than ever now.

China in transition While many western

countries

are faced with depleted non-re-

To address this problem, the Chinese government’s current of untapped

five-year plan (19864990) calls for cooperation with foreign companies and multilateral institutions such as the World Bank in order to receive the necessary financial and technical assistance,

China would like to increase coal production to one billion tons per year by 1990, produce 810 more cubic metre of natural gas per year, and boost electricity generation to over 550 billion kilowatt hours.

these objectives

China intends

As vice-president of the Fall 1987 Political Science Student Association, I would like to make the following points in defence of the January 15 PSSA executive elections: A 25 per cent voter turnout is a victory for the PSSA; it is a higher turnout than for the 1987 Federation of Students election.

Testimony from anonymous sources is inadmissible as evidence in court and unacceptable as a responsible source for newspaper reporting; therefore anonymous attacks against the January election are irrelevant, Not only were these anonymous attacks irrelevant they are also incorrect, thus leading one to believe they are personal attacks against the former executive.

Immature attacks do not befit the maturity of adults who will go on to be the leaders of our communities and our country.

The January 1988 eIections were held under the ASU-approved February 7, 1986 constitution which was written, at least in part, by these anonymous students.

There was no electoral procedure in the February 7, 1986 constitution nor any mention of a co-op position.

The Fall 1987 executive took the

initiative to create a fair and representative electoral process for the winter term, one which may become policy of the Association if the constitution is ratified by the ASU; this was within our constitutional power and it was power well-exercised.

The November 26, 1987 constitution, as yet not ratified by the ASU, was approved (electoral process included] by a unanimous

The Chinese still plan to increase hydro electric capacity by 8,000 megawatts. However the largest hydroelectric project in the

world - the Three Gorges Dam is not included in the five-year plan. First proposed in the 195os, it has been postponed due to concerns about the massive cost and environmental impact. The dam would also cause the largest population relocation in the world - moving between 300,000 and l,OOO,OOOpeople. A consortium of Canadian energy companies including BC Hydro and Hydro Quebec are currently conducting a feasibility study on the dam project.

On March 2 at d pm. in Siegfried Hall (St. Jerome’s College), Dr. Adelia Peters will discuss China’s energy policies and directions in more detai!. Dr. Peters was an exchange professor in China during 1983-84 and again in 1985. She is a faculty member at Bowling Green University and the past Director of the Centre for Environmental Programs. Peters has been named Continental Lecturer for 1988 by the Environmental Studies Section of the North American Association for Environmental Education.

vote of a general constitution meeting of which all members, including co-ops were informed by newsletter.

Copies of the November 26,1987 constitution were available by mail, as the newsletter stated, through department secretary Joanne Voisin.

Nomination opening and closing dates and the election dates were advertised by 50 posters in arts buildings on campus and by memos to professors sent through Chairman Downey’s office (Joanne Voisin and I saw to this personally and can corroborate the day and hour when this was done].

An executive meeting, of which all were open by choice of the Fall executive, was advertised for January 8, 1987 to discuss “preliminary details” including a reminder about the election and an encouragement to all to run.

I have dated samples on file of all posters and literature concerning elections as evidence to their existence. .

Campaigning on the day of election, if it occurred, was constitutional by the February 7, 3986 constitution; to have stopped it would have been unconstitutional.

The February 7, 1986 constitution stipulated that an election had to occur in January; therefore, its authors as well as the student body that ratified it should have known, even without advertisement, of the elections.

There was no policy on strict constituency voting in the old constitution and since co-ops may vote for regular positions such as president, then regular students should equally be able to participate in the election of co-op representatives.

Joanne Voisin, department secretary, supervised, most generously and responsibly, balloting as returning officer from 9:30 to 3:30 p.m. in Hagey Hall 316.

Ballots were counted by me and recorded by treasurer Ralph Zuljan in front of all candidates assembled in Hagey Hall 342.

Contrary to Mason’s reporting, the “Polity” newsletter did not directly mention the electoral date; the president could not have said this.

The Political Science “function” on January 14, the day before the ‘election was, as the tickets and posters expressed, a General Meeting and Social where mention of the election was made to at least 40 people.

Ron Stanley, ASU president, addressed our executive and declared that “the Political Science Student Association is clearly the most active student society in the Arts Faculty this semester.”

I fully support, and I believe all other members of the past executive, support the executive elected on January 15, 1988.

Attacks of a personal nature against past executive members only reduce the stature of the Political Science Student Association, something we should work together to support and cultivate, not secretly, but openly as comrades, if not friends.

major demands on the surface and underground water supplies. Although only 15 per cent of all cropland worldwide is irrigated, it is the most productive land, producing 50 per cent of the total value of crops.

This irrigated land cannot be replaced by nonirrigated land. Virtually all of this agricultural water demand can be attributed to livestock agri:

culture. One pound of wheat contains more calories than a pound of beef, but the beef requires 40

culture. This “groundwater mining” is causing the water tables in many areas to fall. For example, the Ogallala Aquifer is a large underground water supply spanning several states in the southern U.S. By 1961 it was 20 per cent depleted, and within the next 40 years it will be totally depleted.

Even before then, the cost of extracting the water

from the lowering water table will cause farmers to curtail their irrigation.

Because of this it is estimated that corn production in the Texas High Plains *will cease altogether within the next few years.

Another consequence of groundwater depletion is the mineralization of the water. Groundwater naturally contains a small amount of dissolved minerals, mostly salt. When the water is used for irrigation 60 per cent’of it evaporates, leaving the remaining water slightly saltier, Either the salt is left behind in the soil or it trickles back down into the groundwater supply. Neither of these is good: after a certain point further irrigation or further farming will become impossible.

Not only does livestock agriculture deplete the available water supplies, it is also a leading source of water pollution. Livestock wastes washed into the water supply require so much

oxygen to decompose that the water is depleted of oxygen. It becomes an unhygenic mess unsuitable for any human

purposes,

Streamflow is the total runoff from rainwater.

Groundwater is water that has seeped down into the ground, saturating the soil at a point called the water table. Where conditions permit, wells can be dug below the water table to extract this water.

Water can be used in one of two ways. Non-con-

Local Amnesty International groups consist of at least 10 people who meet regularly in their communities and work together on various projects. These tasks include letter-writing on behalf of a particular prisoner of conscience adopted by the group, publicizing the goals and work of AI, fund-raising and participating in worldwide campaigns directed at individual countries or on special themes.

Members can also contribute individualiy by joining one or more of several Networks, ineluding the Letter Writing Network, the Urgent Action Network and the Legal Network.

The Letter-Writing Network is intended for people who are not members of a local group, but who nevertheless want to write on behalf of prisoners. Those who join the Urgent Action Network send emergency letters and telegrams on behalf of prisoners in imminent danger of torture, ill-treatment or execution.

Ottawa bantams

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff So what business does a guy who knows maybe a grand total of four Northern Pikes songs to hear them have reviewing one of their concerts? It just so happens that he thinks pretty highly of the opening band, Ottawa’s Randypeters.

drown Pikes at Fed Hall

Wednesdays may be New Order-free nights at Fed Hall, but The Randypeters were about as far away from wimpoid electrodisco as Hacksaw Jim Duggan is from a PhD in Comparative Literature. The two-fisted attack of Rand Peppler pummelling his transparent guitar and Piet Botman’s impossible-to-ignore stage presence was just the dose

of sneering obnoxiousnesq needed to jolt the Fed Hall masses out of their brain-death and pay attention to a band that; really, barely anyone had heard of. Were they parodying the cheesy macho posturing of rock stars or just indulging themselves in prowling the stage like they planned on sodomizing everyone in attendance? Pretty hard to tell, not that anyone seemed to care. Botman, in particular, is the kind of front man that parents really do lose sleep over, coming across kinda like a cross between Billy Idol and Jocko and nope, it didn’t take any more than 10 minutes for the shirt to come off.

Somewhere between Ottawa and Waterloo, the jangly guitars that dominate their recorded matter got pitched by the roadside. In a word, they rocked.

Whether ripping through the catchy pop of brilliant originals like Love Lost, the A-side of a limited edition 45 that came out some months back, or giving covers like Fever the full treatment, the intensity and energy just wouldn’t let up. They also get top marks for musicianship, going wild during their lengthy and nois’y jams and then stopping on a dime. And just to ensure a friendly reception from the natives and an invitation for

For their part, The Northern Pikes have always struck me as being just a wee bit insipid.

Y’know, that well-meaning, studious look that says, “Well, ya, sure, we’re a rock ‘n’ roll band, but we’re so sensitive and intelligent young men who sing about issues that are, like important to today’s youth, y’know what I’m saying.” Whatever you say, dudes, but for a good half of your show Saturday night, you were insipid, not to mention dull and uninspired.

Why the Pikes insist on playing so damn many medium to slow-tempo songs is beyond me; at best they’re ponderous and aimless and at worst, they’re dispassionate and boring. A good half of the show was devoted to

Imagine this for a second: David Byrne showing up at the Princess Cinema on a Sunday night with a finely equipped stage for his use. Over the course of a one and a half hour performance, he freely pulls musicians from the audience to join him.

Well you can sit in wonderment all ya want ‘cause you missed the show anyway. To be totally truthful, it wasn’t really Big Dave, up front at the Princess last Sunday night, but it was Ted Scarf.

Scarf and Co., collectively known as Big Monkey Du, put on a show that contained elements of mid-life eclectic Talking Heads both visually and aurally.

such shriftless wastes of time, the band trudging nowhere and looking longingly at the back wall from the microphone. A real shame because it’s when they decide that they’re only a rock band that they begin to approximate something entertaining, Superb versions of Teenland and Doncing in a Danceclub got good and noisy and even a little abandoned, but unfortunately, they served largely to highlight the listlessness of the rest of the show.

The Pikes aren’t a bad band, but Saturday night was a mismatch and another case of the u.pstarts stealing the show from under the noses of the complacent headliners,

The T. Heads’ sound was only a partial presence for BMD, at least it was a tangible comparative description. Otherwise, the mix of minimalist to maximimus was cause for a listener overload. The switches from as few as four to as many as nine stage players of horns, bongos, drums, guitars, banks of electric wonder boxes, and cowbell with a mic inserted for horn/vocal effects was too myth to describe fcir a guy who believes in the brillance of the Ramones.

Though the similarity of sound didn’t hit home, this song takes a strange twist to a happy ending of “I’ve got the Budha in me” sung to Kiki Dee’s I’ve Got the Boogie in Me. Another unusual and delightful tune was a song called Slug in Q Tin Roof/Born Again that includes the crucial line of Everyday’s your birthday when you’re born again.

Curtis’ voice is the highlight of the band as he turns from holding notes to a talk-a-long rap which matches his style of splattering sax fills.

SATISFACTION?

JohnHughesgrowsup

by Andrew Rehage Imprint stuff Imagine if you will one of those teenage tampon commercials currently running of television. Now stretch it out for a painful two hours and drop in a ditzy Justine Bateman. Amazing, you have just made the movie Satisfaction.

Satisfaction, Bateman’s film debut, is a film that shimmers across the triviality of teenage life. Director Joan Freeman drags

the viewer along on a mundane trek through a beach blanket bingo movie. Little is done to give any of the characters any credibility. In fact, the characters are presented with aggravating cardboard qualities.

The film plot revolves around a mostly female rock band and their summer job performing at a beach-front bar, The band consists of a gangster (the drummer), a drug addict (the lead guitarist), a slut (bassist), a

geek (the male keyboardist), and a ditz (lead singer Bateman), We, the audience, are dragged through the mud of their trite little lives: from the loves and the heart breaks to the gang chases and near fatal ODs. Honestly, what could be more fun?

Bateman carries over her Mallory Keaton character into Satisfaction., The only change being that she tries horribly to act

tough. Ya, sure. She can’t r&ally sing either. Her portrayal of the character Jennie (the lead singer] has little empathy, which is what the movie really lacks.

For a you Justine Bateman fans, (go ahead, try to find one) go and disregard my advice and run to it - you’ll love it, For the rest of you out there who enjoy movies with at least some intellectual content . . . stay home!

by John Zachariah Imprint 8taff In terms of fidelity to their subject matter, John Hughes’s movies, though often badly flawed, are among the few done by a mainstream North American director which are comparable to foreign gems like Twist And Shout and Puberty Blues, if only because they mirror the frivolity of growing up on our continent so well. But the release of Some Kind Of Wonderful was a clear indication that Hughes had milked the real-life teen genre long enough. So he went and made She’s Having A Baby next, but Paramount postponed its release so they could submit the public to Trains, Wanes and AutomobiJes. Smart move; they saved the best for last.

She’s Having A Baby stars Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern as newlyweds Jake

and Kristy Briggs, and traces the first few years of their marriage, culminating in the difficult birth of their first son. Telling the story from Take’s point of view, the film gives us flashbacks as well as first-person narration, both of which Hughes handles with unexpected finesse. In one particularly well-done scene, we’re flashed back to the evening Jake and Kristy met each other.

Filmed in hazy, disorienting black and white, we seetwo shy, cute sixteen year olds making embarrassed eyes at each other while Boston blares in the background. No words are spoken, but the scene speaks volumes, expressing innocence, curiosity and a hint of base lust.

By peeling back the layers of Jake’s mind and soul, Hughes gives us a better understanding of his reactions to the state of marriage; coping with suburbia, flirting with infidelity, dealing with infertility. To this role,

On Valentine’s Day, the University of Waterloo Dance Department presented its annual recital entitled Danceworks. The program of eight numbers, arranged to maximize the diversity of music, choreography, and costume charmed the well-attended Humanities Theatre.

In its contemporary form, dance lacks many of the traditional ground rules which the artist uses for reference. Without these LA guidelines . . , .the . artist I m is o1ten overwhelmed by a treedom of expression, which usually reflects in their work. The dancers and choreographers in this production, however, are to be commended for their balance of technique and emotion. At times, the sculpture involved in Openin’gs, an improvisational piece, blocked the view of the audience and the long, flapping ribbons attached to kites in Cool Run-

Bacon brings a sensitivity which Footloose never betrayed.

McGovern, however, is horribly wasted, and this is Hughes biggest mistake. She’s Having A Baby is more like His Wife’s Having A &by. McGovern is badly underused and, aside from the reactions of her parents to the wedding, we really don’t get to see how the marriage has affected her life. And, of course+ there’s the problem with that sappy trademark Hughes ending, which makes all right and well, and makes it hard to take the whole shooting match seriously.

But out of all the new-age toddler movies that have come out recently (excepting Raising Arizona), She’s Having A Baby is the brightest, and Hughes’s best. In some circles, that may not being saying much, but try not to be a snob; don’t expect Bergman and you won’t be disappointed.

witty & graceful

nings were also distracting.

Quick Study first premiered in Calgary at the Olympic Festival of the Arts in late January, and won high praise from the Calgary Herald. Under the innovative guidance of Susan Cash, artistic director and artist-inresidence with the UW Dance Group, the performers sustained a cleverly contrived gracelessness during several sketches.

The humour which could have

“I’m worth watching” become _ __ trite remained profeasionally understated, These slightly twisted pieces amused a wide cross-section of the audience.

One would expect a senior dance group to execute the traditional ballet selections with more polish by sheer familiarity alone. Yet polish is exactly what these selections lacked. They’offered widely divergent music and the dancers seemed evenlv

matched, but two of them eclipsed the others by virtue of their crisp delivery. Attitude positions firmly held, balanced pirouettes, and a stage presence which said “I’m worth watching,” made a recognizable difference in the show.

Palchelbel Canon, was the most watchable selection: eight dancers obliquely silhouetted against a lavender backdrop required an exact synchronization of timing and fluidity. They achieved both while capturing the ethereal quality of the music.

Although some of the numbers wanted for more rehearsal time, Danceworks ‘88 abounded with energy, and the group went just far enough in its innovations to stretch the audience’s imagination without alienating it. For those clever enough to be treating their Valentines, they gave them a gift evocative in its interpretation, witty in its humour, and graceful in its romanticism.

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff Once upon a time, and in a questionable state, in the deep, ark confines of Waterloo’s City Hotel, Waiting Room singer/guitarist Tim Racine tagged his band’s sound as “speedfolk” and, pressed for a descriptive moniker, who am I to argue? The closest obligatory comparison is probably to The Feelies with their acoustic smoothness inflected by simple tunes and propulsive bass and drum rhythms, but the big difference remains, for better or for worse, Racine’s singing. Racine still sometimes sounds like Ian Curtis screaming from inside the grave for someone to let him out, but the vocals show real improvement on goodies like Kick it Over and Cry, a wee bit reminiscent of Siouxsie’s Christine and Spellbound, a moody, hazy atmosphere set up by sweeping acoustic strums and pulsing bass. And when he does strain things just a little, you can find it in you heart to forgive a guy for trying too hard, especially when it adds the nasty snarl of the lyrics which you might be beguiled into overlooking by the acoustic pleasantries.

Said scabrous vocals come into the fore on Run Away and N.Y.C., marked by frenetic chord changes and the constant din of Dawg Willy’s (his folks call him Don) cymbals. N.Y.C. in particular is notable for its Taxi Drivereye view of New York, not to mention its liberal use of “fuck”: “So typical of the American view/ Glorify the garbage around you/ I don’t wanna go/ To New York City/ New York City is a fucking hell.” Don’t tell me, tell The Demics.

Then again, The Waiting Room can surprise you with something like Factory, a gorgeous song and the best display of Dave Beckstead’s considerable talents on bass. The guitar is the most obvious hook, but the brilliantly melodic bass can make the drabbest chord change sound spectacular.

Keep your eyes open for this tape, recorded, I might add, live at CKMS under the auspices of Ian Craigie, wherever they hock indie casseftes, or bug ‘em for a copy when they open for the Dik Van Dykes at the City Hotel farewell bash this Thursday. Better yet, write ‘em at 12 King St. N., Waterloo, N2J 2W7.

by Trevor Blair Imprint staff Ah, Love, it makes you do the strangest things: you might prance about in the daisies, strangle kittens, or even record albums that sound strangely like Simply Red. Roddy Frame is the main focus of the thing mortal men call Aztec Camera. He became a star in Britain at the tender age of 16 when he released his first single, Mattress of Wire. A fine, fine song it was.

Many excellent singles and two excellent albums later, Roddy unleashes his latest shaped glob of plastic LOVE. WEA tells us that this group is taking Quebec by storm Hmmmm, last thing I heard, Quebec was underwater. Deep & Wide 6 Tall, the first track, begins, and immediately a like-despise relationship develops.

Where did these terrible background vocals come from? What happened to the biting guitar and lyrics ? What happened to the genius that inspired their very inspired cover of Van Halens’ jump [essential)? What happened? That’s the despise side of it. Ignore Aztec history and it’s an okay, hummable single. Side A continues, but doesn’t impress until the last track, Somewhere in my Heart. The Aztec I have known and loved shines

through, blessing this album with its finest moment.

.

Love makes you do the strngest things

Frame always struck me as a rock brat; he’s grown up a bit and this has taken its toll in many ways - he’s dulled - new unimproved formula - less for your money, at least not enough. Everything except the last track on side two is similarly un-great and doesn’t do justice to Killmore Street, a song that, again, reminds me of better days.

There may we13 be a whole new audience out there for this new Camera - a funkier, sadly mature, and (I’ll say it again,) Simply Red-oriented bunch.

Well, keep them away from-me; I’m forever indebted to fonder times.

Ah, for the good old days when being a rock ‘n’ roll star meant that all you had to worry about was keeping your baby faithful and finding a place to play your guitar loud without your parents finding out about the kind of ne’er-do-wells you were hanging out with. That’s the great thing about rockabilly - it’s pure escapism, Nobody cares if there’s not an electric instrument in sight or if the band wouldn’t know a Nietschean text if it whacked ‘em on the noggin as long as it puts them in a good mood and gets their feet shuffling around antsily.

The Razorback’s debut Go To Town more than satisfies these criteria. If you’ve caught their impromptu Queen St. outdoor shows during your Toronto summer work-terms, you’ll know what to expect from this platter - not much philosophizin’, but lotsa fun. Not surprisingly, Go To Town has nothing on their live show which takes a backseat to no one in terms of energy, affability, and general zaniness, but producer Chris Spedding (yep, that’s the Chris Spedding) has done a pretty reasonable job of not overembellishing their raw, acoustic rockabilly - a pretty good ringer for The Shakin’ Pyramids.

Go To Town is direct, no-frills rockabilly and that’s all a fan can really ask for. I’ll hold off on expounding it as a brilliant, mindexpanding record ‘cause frankly, this isn’t gonna change your life.

Paeans to partying and favourite hangouts (ie. Lower Beverley a tribute to a bar that ranks right up there with The Horseshoe and The Cameron as places where you don’t have to wear the right clothes or have the correct hairstyle to be cool) are as complicated as it gets. The tunes are adequate, as is the musicianship and singing, but nothing earthshattering. Go to Town earns its unanimous “thumbs up” ratings in the intangibles department.

This record has spirit, it’s friendly, and, awww, 1 dunno, it’s likable. Real likable. And I guarantee you’ll like ‘em lots at Fed Hall on March 12.

Now I don’t wanna be accused of encouraging cultural stereotypes, but Les Thugs sure as hell don’t sound like a bunch of Frenchmen (as in Angers, France) with names like Christophe and Thierry (!) to me. I’ll bet these guys even beat the phlegm out of any beret-clad wimp singing Jacques Brel songs’ along the Seine.

Electric Troubles continues the bltirring of the boundary between garage-rock and hardcore that truckloads of European and Aussie bands like Radio Birdman and The Celibate Rifles have undertaken, but if you thought Metallica and The Lime

Spiders were hot, you’re gonna burn yer fingers on this one.

Seven blasts of electric frenzy moving at slightly sub-tori speed, but hats off to any garage band that can keep up with the pace they set. And you’ll find maybe a handful of hardcore bands that can write guitar hooks this catchy or sing harmonies this precisely. They even sing in English, but I couldn’t care less - with everything else going here, neither will you, and it’s pretty hard to listen to the words when your head’s bouncing off the wall, anyway.

Sorry if this sounds more like a record company press release than a record review, but the only troubles yer likely to have with this smokin’ disc is keeping the volume low enough so that you won’t be axe-murdered by your irritable next-door neighhour, Les Thugs are mean, badassed dudes, all right, and they play like all hell. Get them before they get you!

QUEST OF

QUEST

is a board game that tests your mental mettle in a search for the legendary PHIL&CIPHER’S STONE.It includes some 2,000 brain-teasing questions in 37 categbries. Most are solvable in 60 seconds or less, but that presupposes players with a certain minimum of well-functioning little gray cells upstairs. Without them . . . well . . . better stick to Snakes and Ladders.

t the University of Waterloo Games Museum we’re giving away A one game of QUEST (available in the book store for $35.00) per week. The catch is that you don’t have a chance to win one unless you can answer these three brain teasers from QUEST’SBOOK OF CHALLENGES. They’re’ set out below.

These Early

Brutality (Music

of Life]

Their single of last year, Raga muffin Hip-Hop was an arnazingly influential record last year, creating a whole new style of rap - a combination of high-speed reggae toasting and the relentIess pounding of hip-hop beats.

Brutotity is at least as good as Ragamuffin, with its heady brew of tropical reggae and street-def beats and that makes it the cream of the hip-hop crop.

Their last LP, Baby The Stars Shine Bright saw Everything But

Bop Bop

Fats Comet (World Records) Though this was recorded four years ago, Bop Bop sounds more than adventurous and futuristic any other dance record released in eons. It’s weird combination of sounds is akin to sitting in your apartment while one neighbour plays ’50s doo-wop records and the other plays Ministry with the bass pumped to the limit. The ensuing din is spectacular.

Trick

of The Light

This is the second single from which has still yet to see the promised domestic release. The delicate, wistful Trick is a far more natural single than the epic majesty of Bury Me Deep in Love. As usual The Triffids have thrown some goodies on the b-side in the form of Love a looping synththe Fever, driven dance number which contains one great line I catch lovers like diseases, sometimes they keep me in my bed. The other two b-sides whose titles are much too long to repeat here catch the Triffids in. an introspective icountry mood, Sheer excellence.

Calenture

(Kitchenware)

though every note had been crafted and polished to a perfect sheen. Ironically, two years in the making, Cms and Girls sounds like it was polished off in two houri flat - which it was.

Though the production may be rougher, Paddy McAloon’s songwriting is as unique and quirky as ever, and that means that Cars and Girls is worthwhile.

Cocaine Sex Renegade

Sound

Cocaine is sexy! It’s about money, stars and decadence . . and sex. The decreased oxygen supply to the brain which occurs when cocaine is used intensifies orgasm. This is what is described as “cocaine sex”. Renegade Sotind Wave advocate cocaine sex as a reacti-on against the sexual repression and puritanism which have begun to emerge in the age of AIDS. The record is a mixture of complex, layered sex-beats and passionless white rap. Sexual, but not sexy. l

Though superficially similar to Pump Up The Volume, Bomb the Bass’s first single Beat Dis has given the formula psycho-adrenaline recontructive surgery.

““““““3Eihew!

by Mike McGraw Imprint staff If the OUAA West basketball playoffs are as exciting as Saturday’s (February 13) Waterloo Warriors-Western Mustangs barnburner at the PAC, the league will have to provide oxygen at postseason games.

A cliffhanger in every sense of the word, the Mustangs needed an overtime period to squeak past the Warriors, 79-74. It was only Waterloo’s second loss of the season, against nine victories, and snapped a six-game winning streak.

Despite the loss, the Warriors clinched the division title by virtue of a better points spread in head to head action with Western, thanks to an earlier 8671 trouncing of the ‘Stangs in London. Any worries of a threeway tie were erased when the Windsor Lancers were upset, 8883 at McMaster on Saturday, dropping Windsor to 6-4. Western is 7-3 with two games remaining.

The Warriors play their final game of the regular season tomorrow (Saturday) night at McMaster, a game which now means nothing to UW. With first place locked up, the Warriors get an automatic bye to the divisional semi-finals, which will be held in the PAC on February 26. The other six teams will battle it out in quarter-final matches on February 23, with l

Mustangs eek out cliffhanger

the three survivors travelling to Waterloo for the final four. Waterloo plays the winner of the third place finisher versus the fourth place team at 8 p.m. in the semis, The champion advances to the CIAU championships in Halifax, starting March 10.

Even if the Warriors don’t win the division title, they might still find their way to Halifax. In addition to the six CIAU division winners, two wild card teams will be selected by a committee to play in Halifax. Having been ranked in the top five most of the season, UW would be given serious consideration. But then again, the selection committee is about as predictable as the weather in Waterloo. The Warriors are currently ranked number five.

Point spreads aside, Western coach Doug Hayes was happy just to win.

“The point spread was never a concern - I’d be happy to win by one point. This was a morale booster for us. The guys believe that we can win, and it’s never easy winning here (the PACJ.” The PAC was noisier than a factory as fans witnessed playoff basketball+ The biggest lead of the day was eight points as the two rivals grinded to a stalemate after regulation.

Western led 34-31 at the half, and finally managed to pull up 48-41, six minutes into the second. But it became more obvious as the clock ticked away

that neither team was going to break it open.

The Warriors managed to keep it close, but only because they slowed the ‘Stangs offence down by playing pesky defence. Offensively, UW’s recent oasis ran dry. Waterloo shot a paltry 43 per cent from the floor, and s-of16 from three-point land.

“We had a poor offensive game,” admitted UW coach Don McCrae. “We stayed in the game shooting howitzers and we didn’t deal with their zone defence very well. We got playing on the perimeter instead of getting it inside. You don’t necessarily have to score inside, but it breaks down the defence.”

With 6:lO remaining and Western up 59-57, the Warriors hit a major famine. They pressed, but just couldn’t find the iron. Two minutes later, Western went up 61-57.

Waterloo’s Jamie McNeil1 almost single-handedly won the game with under two minutes to go. With Western up 63-62, McNeil1 stuffed Mustang star John Stiefelmeyer on a lay-up.

Then, on the ensuing trip down the floor, McNeil1 hooped a layup and drew a foul. With the free throw, the Warriors led 65-63.

But Terry Thomson hit two from the charity stripe to force the extra frame.

Late goal wipes out Warrior’ Weep

by Mike McGraw Imprint staff Some type of mystical force lurks at Columbia Icefield, and it just won’t let the Waterloo Warriors win there. Take Sunday aftdrnoon for instance, Leading the defending -CIAU champion University of Quebec du Trois Rivieres Patriotes, 3-2, with 12 seconds left in the game, Waterloo could taste victory, But with five ticks left on the clock, Patriote winger Yvan Genereux found himself and the puck all alone in front of UW netminder Mike Bishop. As Bishop dropped to the ice, Genereux flipped a shot past the falling goalie to give UQTR a heartstopping 3-3 tie.

The goal spoiled what could have been a weekend sweep for Waterloo at Colubmia igloo. Saturday night, the Warriors trounced the Ottawa Gees Gees, 8-3, for their first win at home since November 27. Waterloo is 1-1-3 at Columbia since Christmas.

It now appears the Warriors will have to settle for third place in the OUAA Central behind the Western Mustangs, The ‘Stangs pulled ahead of Waterloo on the weekend with two big victories in Kingston. Western has 35 points with two games remaining, while Waterloo sports a 14 5-6 record for 34 points, The Warriors play their final game of the schedule tonight (Friday] at Columbia at 7:30 against the 171-5 first place York Yeomen.

If the Warriors finish in third, they’ll startba best-of-three divisional semi-final at Western on Tuesday, February 23. Game two would then be at Columbia on the 26th. If necessary, game

three would be back at Western Waterloo threatened to run the on Sunday, the 28th. Should the Patriotes back to La Belle ProWarriors sneak into second, they vince in the opening period, would host games one and three. dominating the sluggish visWaterloo finished inter-diviitors. Dan Tsandelis opened the sional play with a 9-O-2 record, scoring for UW at 3:08 when he tops ifi the OUAA, Due to this, flipped a Steve Linseman set-up UW needs only to beat Western past Guerard. to gain an automatic bye to the Waterloo swarmed like wasps OUAA championships.

This all over the Patriotes, and at 6:18 would mean they wouldn‘t even Andrew Smith‘s 60-foot howhave to win a divisional final itzer eluded Guerard to make it against the winner of the YorkLaurier series to ,reach the final four.

Waterloo coach Don McKee blamed Sunday‘s heartbreaking tie on the referee.

“He wouldn’t give us a timeout when we asked for one with 56 seconds left when we had the face-off in the offensive zone,” snarled McKee. “He wouldn’t say why he didn‘t, but the rules say he has to give us a timeout as long as play is stopped. It’s tough when he comes in here and makes up his own rules.“ John Dietrich put Waterloo up 3-2 with 3:53 remaining on a gutsy effort. Cutting in off the wing, he was hauled down by a defender, but while lying on his side, slid the puck past UQTR’s all-Canadian netminder Claude Cuerard. .

Six minutes earlier, Genereux had tied it for the Patriotes when he tipped a sizzling blast from Normand Nellis past Bishop on a powerplay.

The game wag billed as a battle of the two premiere goaltenders in the CIAU. Guerard was Canada’s backstop at the Spengler Cup while Bishop will challenge Guerard’s all-Canadian nomination this season.

2-O.The Warriors‘ attack was relentless but they missed several chances to put UQTR on ice. Waterloo held an 11-3 advantage in shots.

“We should’ve put them away in the first,” said McKee. “We should have killed them in that first period.“ The Warriors played most of the second period shorthanded as the game started to resemble a

cage match. After UW‘s Ian Pound served a double-minor, John Goodman and UQTR‘s Donald Desseureault battled to a 12-round split decision. Both players were ejected Fed Hall style, and were quickly joined by Warrior Steve Balas. He qualified for an early shower when it was discovered he was omitted

B-Ball Warriors lose but win Continued from page 19 overtime. With free throws and fade away jumpers, he led the charge as Western ripped off the first six points of the period and never looked back. Stiefelmeyer had six points in overtime and 26 for the game.

Waterloo breathed its last gasp of life in waning seconds.

Trailing 77-74, the Warriors called a timeout with 14 seconds remaining.

However, Tom Schneider’s desperation threepointer clanged off the rim to end it.

“We played with a lot of composure today,” said Hayes, “We took a lot of good shots and played good defence.” The Mustangs were a sparkling 66 per cent from the floor and 79 from the line.

The way they day started for

Waterloo, it appeared they were destined for another rout. Five minutes into the contest, UW led 10-Z powered by a thunderous Michael Jordan slam by Jeremy Moore, which set the crowd abuzz and prompted Hayes to take a timeout.

Whatever Hayes said in the huddle made his team forget Moore’s dunk, as they came back and ripped off 11 straight points.

Western’s biggest first half lead was five points.

Aside from Stiefelmeyer, Thomson bagged 22 for Western.

Stiefelmeyer was 12-of-17 from the field and grabbed seven rebounds.

Rob Froese paced UW with 25 points and McNeill added 18.

Schneider drained 15 points. The Warriors were out-rebounded 30-Z1.

Warriors ski 2nd The Waterloo Warriors have once again surfaced as a respected power in the Pepsi University Alpine Racing series.

Last week in Collingwood, the team competed in the finals of the OUAA Pepsi series. February 11, the team competed in the Slalom, and with two of its top racers missing due to exams, UW still finished a close second. Michael Bier led the Warriors with a third place finish while teammate Mark Pomilio was tenth.

The entire team was present for the second of the two race final, the Giant Slalom on Friday. Waterloo shone taking second, third, and 15th in the individual placings. These results were good enough to take first place by 10 points ahead of arch rivals Western. Colin Rogers took second, Michael and Peter Bier the third and fourth respectively and Pomilio the fifteenth. The overall race results are calculated by adding the top four teammates points. It usually comes down to the fourth place finisher for the final placing of the team.

The Athenas had a good final couple of days, finishing sixth in both the Slalom and Giant Slalom. Sandy Gillies led Waterloo with an eight-place finish in the Slalom and 10th in the Giant Slalom. Sue Noppe was the second best Athena with a 19th and a 3.2nd nlace finish while Kim

Scatt placed 22nd and 26th. Stephanie Terrill finished 24th in the Slalom, Friday, after all the races were done, the overall points for the individual and team finishes were tabulated. The Warriors dominated the individual standings, placing three racers in the top 10 in all three categories. In the overall Slalom, all the points a racer has earned in the season’s slaloms are added. Rogers was first for UW, finishing fourth with Michael Bier in seventh and Pomiiio tenth. In the Giant Slalom, Rogers finished first overall, while Michael Bier was second and Peter Bier an impressive fourth, The overall title is calculated by taking a racer’s top four results and adding the points received. Rogers finished in a tie for first with Ryerson’s Dave McKay. Michael Bier finished second with brother Peter placing seventh.

Gillies was the top Athena, placing sixth in the Giant Slalom, fifth in the slalom and eighth place overall.

As a team, the Warriors placed an impressive second, trailing oniy Western by 20 points. This is the -best Warrior finish in at least eight years. The Athenas finished sixth.

1Three Athenas swim to ClAUs 1

by Graeme Peppler Imprint staff Three Athenas surpassed CIAU qualifying standards on February 13 and 14 at the OWIAA Swimming championships hosted by Cgrleton University.

Qualifying in two events were Allison Loucas and Sue Masson - the former will be making her fourth appearance at the cham-q pionships, the latter her first while rookie Corrie Powell made the standard in one event as the Athenas swam to fourth place overall at the two-day competition.

Loucas, who swims to CIAU standards whenever she gets in the pool, earned a silver medal in the so-metre freestyle. Only she and winner Marie-Therese Armentero of Toronto managed sub-28 second times for the race.

Her speed, and iron will, were also evident in the lO&metre freestyle. A time of one minute, 1.7 seconds was good enough for fourth place and was only fractionally short of another medal performance.

In her fourth year at Waterloo, Masson got her backstroke churning like never before. The math co-op student took fifth place in the 20&metre race in two minutes, 33.45 seconds, one second within CIAU qualifying standards.

She also repeated the fifth place finish in the loo-metre backstroke - and the so-metre backstroke, for that matter with a time in the preliminary heats of one minute, 11.84 seconds giving her a second CIAU qualification during the meet.

There was little doubt that Corrie Powell would qualify in the loo-metre butterfly; however, few believed that she would do it as convincingly as she did.

She thundered through the lOO-metre race in one minute, 7.58 seconds giving her a fourth place finish, 1.5 seconds faster than she need have gone just to qualify, while her time of two minutes, 32,ll secondsgave her sixth place in the 209-metre butterfly, half-a-second short of another qualification.

Despite not qualifying for CIAU’s, ‘Nancy Crump contributed valuable points for her swimming efforts. Seventh place in two minutes, 56.49 seconds was her reward for the LOOmetre breaststroke and a tenth place in two minutes, 36.43 seconds was the result of her ZOOmetre fly.

Kim Boucher and Cathy Aube also tackled the 299-metre butterfly, finishing eleventh and twelfth, respectively. Boucher showed a preference for that position all weekend as she finished eleventh in the 499-metre and 800-metre freest yles as well, while Aube took a tenth place in the loo-metre fly.

Lesley Fedora and Leslie Crombie swam together in the zoo-metre and 400-metre freestyles. Both were consolaticn finalists in those races while Crombie was the lone Waterloo point scorer in the ZOO-metreindividual medley, in 10th place, and Fedora followed Boucher ‘osely to take 12th place during tne 800-metre free.

Waterloo’s flock of breaststroke denizens queued up for points in their races. Andi Kenyon, Stephanie Gamble, Joanne Aldridge, and Tami Lee sorted themselves into seventh, eighth, tenth, and eleventh places, rein the 50-metre spectively, breaststroke, while Kenyon and Gamble reversed their order and took eighth and ninth, respectively, in the loo-metre breast-

stroke.

Where points are awarded as 20-17-16-15-14-13-12-11 for first to eighth places and 9-7-65-4-3-2-l for ninth to sixteenth nlaces in all individual races, Kenyon also managed an eleventh in the 299-metre breaststroke while Lee stole a point for sixteenth in the same race.

Marissa Amoroso was another individual point scorer for the Athenas. She swam to tenth place in the 200-metre backstroke, eleventh in the loo-metre and eighth in the so-metre backstrokes.

Other Athenas who swam to best times over the weekend were distance freestyler Carol McNiece, Mary Bristol, Lisa McCuaig, Kelley Thomson, and Leela Sharma.

Athena headcoach, Dave Heinbuch, who was voted coach of the year at the end of the meet, was delighted with the way the women swam over the weekend.

“1 exp_ectedbig things from the team, but they even exceeded my expectations,” said Heinbuch upon his return to Waterloo. “All our women swam their races

hard from the start and, as a result, the fast times just dropped into place.”

A measure of the team’s performance can be found in their relative positions to McMaster, Cuelph, -and Brock in the final standings. While two points separated the Athenas from Guelph in a recent dual meet, the Gryphons - like McMaster who won a dual meet convincingly in January against the Athenas were well behind Waterloo once the Ontario Championships . were over.

In the 4x190-metre free relay, Corrie Powell, Allison Loucas, Lesley Fedora, and Leslie Crombie came out wielding-thehatchet in a last minute bid to take third place overall from Brock. They captured the bronze medal but Brock’s women were able to hang on to ensure a nine point cushion over the Athenas.

The University of Toronto won the meet with 740 points, with Western taking second at 611 points. Brock maintained third with 445 points and Waterloo rounded out the top four with 436 points.

Synchro team takesfourth The Waterloo synchronized swimming team exhibited clean performances at the OWIAA championships held at York last weekend. Waterloo placed fourth overall behind traditionally strong teams from York, U of T and McMaster.

The only school to enter two team routines, Waterloo senior and novice teams stretched to fourth and sixth place respectively. The .duet pair of Karina Davidson and Jody Pilbeam boosted themselves to first place in the B division with Joanne Towner and Jenny Clarke breathing close behind in second.

Renata Billinger and Shelley Hurlburt single-handedly won third and fourth spots in the B

Division solo category. Improvements were evident in each and every routine swim.

Leanne Ramm capped a silver medal for her efforts in Novice figures. She&Lynn Kane and Christina Churchill floated into seventh and eleventh places in the competitive novice line-up.

In Intermediate figures, Clarke propelled herself- to a bronze medal finish with Dara Finney finishing sixth and Bonnie Mack, 13th. Senior figure swims

by Davidson and Towner yielded ninth and 11t h-place finishes.

The synchro team will be having a Watershow February 29 starting at 7 p.m. in the PAC pool.

Hockey Warriors grab 3 points at home Continued from page 19 from the game sheet.

The Warriors continued to populate the sin bin, and at X2:11 of the session; Patriot& backliner Mario Paradis ripped a In%v blast past Bishop to narrow UW’s lead to 2-l. UQTR had Waterloo running scared for most of the period, out-shooting the Warriors, 13-6. Bishop showed great poise in holding off the onslaught.

Saturday night, Waterloo pounded a bus-weary Ottawa team. Linseman, Goodman and Jamie McKee all scored twice as UW breezed to an easy victory.

“They bussed in for the game on Saturday, and that’s a sixhour bus ride,” noted McKee, “We really dominated them, we ;i$d well in the second pe. .

Waterloo exploded for five second-period goals to crush the sluggish Gees Gees, The first three were scored in a matter of 2:50. Linseman struck first at 8:38 when he deked Gee Gee goalie Cam Baird to the ice and flipped a shot home, Fifty-five seconds later, Linseman sent Chris Glover in all alone who deked Baird and put one through his legs. Just 1245 after that, Goodman corralled an arrant clearing pass and blasted a slap rhot be&mm Baird‘s pads.

At 17:4$, Goodman scored

again when he tipped in Smith’s drive from the blueline. The Warriors continued to harass Baird, and at 18:54, McKee’s slapshot rattled off the post but ricocheted off Baird’s back and into the net. The period ended with Waterloo leading, 7-1. The Warriors out-shot Ottawa 16-6 in the session.

The Cees Gees actually came out smoking, opening the scoring 3:50 into the contest when Pat Lahey squeezed a shot through Bishop’s pads. But it was all agony after that.

Thirty-seven seconds after Lahey’s goal, Linseman scored from a scramble in front to tie it l-l. At 14:38 of the opening frame McKee banged a soft shot which seemed to fo.ol Baird and trickled in.

The Gees Gees scored two lost-cause goals in the third.

Simon Massie tallied at 3:06 and Luc Frechette scored at lo:38 to close Waterloo’s lead to 7-3. Bishop had to be sharp several times in the psriod.

Clinton EIiicott rounded out the scoring at 16:13 of the third as he cruised down the boards and beat Baird to the short side.

Baird stoned Linseman, McKee and Scott Dick on breakaways in the period. Baird was pelted with 38 shots on the night while Bishop faced 24.

Knight meets his charges

by Refton Blair Imprint etaff The newly-hired coach of the Waterloo football Warriors was introduced to the 1987-88 edition of the football Warriors February 11 by director of Athletic Carl Totzke. Dave “Tuffy” Knight presented himself to the past and future of the Waterloo football program as the person whom they will now call coach, Mister Knight, or Tuffy.

He laid down the law of football according to Tuffy Knight: “there are only two ways, my way and the wrong way”. And he also stated what he was expecting and would accept from those players intending on playing on his team: “nothing less than your best dedicated effort”.

With 65 of 70 players in attendance, Knight outlined the schedule for spring practice, the physical preparation he expects, and the type of player he is looking for.

Though Knight does not officially assume the position of head coach until March 1, he wanted to assure the players he was interested in the future of Waterloo football.

He also wanted to meet in person those players who are on the verge of transferring or graduating with a season of eligibility left. The meeting was informative, as Knight was able to arrange meet-

Western Clubs Athenas

by Kate Cox imprint staff The Athenas basketball team was defeated by Western 67-61 last Saturday, in their 31th game of the OWIAA season. The Athenas managed to lead by four points in the first half, but really needed to execute more motion on offence to defy Western’s defence. Western’s rebounding was strong as the Athenas defence was not as aggressive as ii should have been.

During the second half the Athenas-put pressure on their offence, but Western came from behind to tie the score 41-41, With 10 minutes left on the clot k, Kim Rau, the Athenas most talented player, was injured and unfortunately was out for the remainder of the game. The Athenas managed to-pull away from the tie briefly, but it did not take Western long to score once more.

The lead was tossed between the two teams for the final minute.

Western played well on offence, scoring six points in that time .

Unfortunately for the Athenas, most of their defeats this season have followed a pattern similar to this game.

High scorers were Sheilagh Windle and Jennifer Hinton with 15

and

12

points

respectively.

Sheilagh also made a stunning 3-point shot during the first half.

Brenda Bowering and Kelly McGoldrick also played a goud offensive game, scoring 17points between them. Jane Willet chipped in six points. The Athenas play at McMaster February 20, the team’s final game of the OWIAA season.

ings with the four graduating players, two of which are key defensive players: DE Rothwell and LB Youbrough. He was also able to address such issues as the academic difficulties facing some players, He told the players they should “give me a chance to talk to you and maybe I can get you to wait awhile before joining the real world”.

Coach Knight’s obvious personnel relations skills went over well with some of the players, who seemed entranced by his personality and football mpxie.

There were some skeptics. and they did not think he had said anything revolutionary regarding coaching. However, these players were outnumbered. The turnout of upper-year players was a good indication of the renewed interest the coaching change has created.

Regarding the hiring of his coaching staff, Knight said “my most important concern right now is recruiting, and until I

have completed that will I hire my full-time asssitant coach”* However, he added “I will take any available part-time assistance, because if there are any good assistants_ out there Laurier, Guelph, and Western will be competing for that person” He asked his players to recommend potential candidates.

With regards to the lateness of his recruiting+ Knight has involved his players by asking them to provide names of players from their high-schools who have the grades and are worth having at Waterloo+ The response was very good as most players had a high-school prospect that the coach could contact.

Coach Knight came up with a tentative date for his spring training program, for sometime after the end of examinations, the week of March 24-April 10.

He invites anyone who is dedicated, earnest, and interested in

winning.

Mitro breaks another I

by Lisa Laffradi and Kevin Shoom Last Saturday, February 13, the Athenas were in fine form at the University of Michigan’s Red Simmons Invitational Track Meet. This is the first time in a few years that Waterloo has competed.

Our amazing female sprinter, Martha de Gannes, completed the 5Sm dash in 8.10 seconds, initializing a new school record.

Martha’s inspiring performance was passed on to Jill Francis, who won the mile race in five minutes, 18.50 seconds. After exchanging the lead several times, Francis kicked past her Bowling Green, Michigan rival in the last 50m and beat her by a mere six one-hundredths of a second. The mile is a shorter distance than Francis is used to, as she will be representing Waterloo in the 3000rn at the OUAAIOWIAA championships.

Also representing Waterloo in the mile were Lisa Laffradi, a freshman, and Marielle Rowan, who raced to sixth and ninth place finishes in 5:28.51 and 5:34,10 respectively. Our three Athenas were the only Canadi-

ans in the race.

Meanwhile+ at York University, several Warriors were competing in the Ontario Track and Field Association (OTFA) championships. Harvey Mitro had a record-setting performance for the second week in a row, this week over 3000m. Mitro knocked II seconds (wow!) off the record, as he placed fifth in 8~~64.Harvey took six seconds off the mile mark the week before.

Nick Cipp was also in the three-kilometre event, He was 17th in 8:42.1. Paul Ernst, who earlier this season broke Mitro’s 3000 record with an 8:26.71, was scheduled to be in the same event. Unfortunately, an altercation with a nasty official led to Ernst’s disqualification.

The OTFA is looking into whether its members should, in future, be exposed to old men with hemorrhoids.

Shamir Jamal ran an excellent 800m, placing fourth in his section in 2:OO.S. Steve Scott was not far behind, as he finished in 2:00.8.

In the 1500m, Al Faulds had a 4:11, Faulds, on work-term in Belleville, does not have access to an indoor track on which to train.

Athenas take the bronze The Waterloo Athenas figure skaters notched the bronze medal at the OWIAA champioaships last weekend at Western.

Laurie Frey was instrumental to the team’s placing. She skated to a second place finish in Junior Singles, then teamed up with Kim Chandler to win the Junior Similar Pairs, In Junior Similar Danse, Frey skated to another first place finish with Elaine Noble. Anna da Silva notched third place in Intermediate Singles, then teamed up with Lorraine McDonald to finish second in Intermediate Similar Pairs. In the Formation Fourteenship, the team of Angela Clark, Frey, Karen Lukasik and Noble skated to a first place finish.

McDonald was also instrumental to the team. She had a second place finish in Senior B Singles and took the gold in the Intermediate Solo Dance category. In the OSP event, McDonald teamed up with Meredith Shaw;Shelley Howes, and Janice MacDougall to dance to a fifth place finish. In the Isolated

Moves Event, the team of Shaw, Suzanne Scott, McDonald, Lukasik, Cheryl Stankiewicz, and Jennifer Reid skated to a fifth place finish. Carol Snow also skated well in the Senior A Singles Category.

Scott skated a strong performance in Open Ladies to clinch second place and then teamed up with Stankiewicz to finish third in Senior Similar Pairs. In Senior Similar Dance, Lukasik and Howes teamed up to finish sixth, and Shaw finished seventh in Senior Solo Dance. The team of Scott, Stankiewicz, McDonald and da Silva skated to a fifthplace finish in Pair Fours.

In the final event of the day, Precision, Chandler, Clark, da Silva, Frey, Howes, Lukasik, Reid, MacDougall, McDonald, Scott, Shaw and Stankiewicz teamed up to skate their best performance and finish second to Queen’s, Western won the OWIAA championships with 148 points, Queen’s followed with 134 points and Waterloo took the bronze with 132 points. ..

Athenas Last weekend, the Waterloo Athenas squash team placed third at the OWIAA squash finals held at York, finishing behind Western and Toronto.

Louise Waite, playing number one, was named to the all-Ontario all-star team. Waite went undefeated in OWIAA competition all season.

The Athenas gained a spot in the qualifying round by downing York, 5-0. Waterloo then played Toronto and Western. Although UW took only two matches at the number one position, the Athenas demonstrated with some close matches that they are a team to be reckoned with.

In a bid for third place, Waterloo faced Queen’s and won easily, 4 matches to 1. Marylin Kuntz at number six, played well all weekend, losing just one match to Toronto. Kuntz won her match against Queen’s, 3-O.
