University of Waterloo announced its changes to the student executive committee this week. If passed at the annual general meeting, the new student body could be officially implemented March 29. The changes seem to have co&e about as a result of a number concerns within the Federation of Students. Fed President Ted Carlton said student involvement must be managed more effectively. “In the past, it appears that the majority of work has been accomplished by the executive, and this is simply due to a lack of proper management of volunteers.” Carlton said he hopes the new structure will create a greater cohesiveness amongst the student body. The basic change involves a decrease in the number of executive positions from 16 to 11 members. Under these executive

UW ombudsman loses cancer battle On the morning of Saturday, February 27, Ray Owen’s, the University of Waterloo Ombudsman loat a ten month bout with Cancer. He first came to Waterloo as the second man to fill the ombudsman position in November, 1985. The Sudbury native was in his final year of a Masters of Business Administration program at Sir Wilfrid Laurier Univerdty. Before Waterloo, Owens worked in the Kitchener and Toronto offices of the Residential Tenancy Commission. Federation of Students president Ted Carlton said Owens was very well liked in the university comeunity. “He spent his entire working career devoted to helping people who fell through the cracks in the system,” Carlton said. Owens, age 38, first underwent surgery last J&y. Doctors then believed they had removed all of the Cancer, Owens continued receiving regular check-ups but because of sncaurang -postqurgery tests, he was diagnosed as clear of the disease, It was only three weeks ago when Owas became sick with what doctors thought was the flu. One week ago Owens was informed that he still had Cancer. He was in the hospital for four days but was then released. On Saturday, Owens’ mother and father came down from Sudbury. Owens is survived by his wife, Carroll; he had two daughters and two sobs. Raymond Stephen Owens was very involved with athletics at Wilfrid Laurier as well as being supportive of athletics in Waterloo as well as in Sudbury. As the ombudsman, Owens was helpful in counselling students on academic as well as non-academic issues. Funeral services were held Wednesday, March 2. Family members, current and past Federation executive members, UW administration and most of Owen’s fellow ombudsmen from across Ontario were present for the services.

Amateur athletes get funds
Day
Every field of the paranormal has its timeless standards that all incoming upstarts are measured against, for better or worse. Those whose perfectly good cutlery and elf-delusion is boundless will aeli psychic and con-man exeller. The unfortunates obsessed with psychic medical diagnosis and healing will whip themselves into a veritable frenzy holding forth on The Sleeping Prophet Edgar Cayce, whose reputation for miracles is exceeded only by his rather embarrassing lack of accom lishments with respect to anything. And those Pans of a rather warped variation of clairvoyance known as “remote viewing’* will fall over themselves expounding on the work in the late '70s of the clown princes of psi, Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ of Stanford Research International, the subject of this week’s diatribe. The Reader’s Digest Condensed Version of remote viewing: alleged psychic (P) and experimenter (E) wait at lab (L) while third party (B) drives in car (C) to unknown site (S) and acts as psychic “beacon” (hence, “B”, in case you were wondering) to transmit images of S to P who recites incoming images to E. B then leaps back into C and drives madly back to L to compare notes with E and P, and everyone pats everyone else on the back, resulting in a meaningless jumble of the alphabet. Rigorous experiments may require having P’s transcripts matched to the target list by an unbiased judge (J), who may or may not wonder just what kind of twits (T) he is dealing with. The first twinges of suspicion appear when ‘one learns that there is a relatively small, fixed set of target locations that are to be visited (in a major ity of the tests, a staggering number of nine). The second shocker comes when one discovers that target sites are selected without replacement, a situation just pleading for small amounts of feedback in the early stages of the experiment to boost success in the latter stages. Psychologist David Marks, a long-time critic of Puthoff and Targ, minces no words in stating that their remote viewing work is a “massive litany of fallacies and flaws.” Transcripts handed to judge Arthur Hastings to be matched with the target list were found to be just chock-full of extraneous information such as dates, times, references to previously visited targets - one even carried the ‘name of -the associated target! Another supposedly complete transcript was found to have

you see? had two pages removed, one containing the rather blatant cue, “Nothing like having three successes behind you.” Other cues allowing a judge to rearrange the transcripts in chronological order included “yesterday’s two targets”, “second place of the day”, and “where you went yesterday on the nature walk.” And one would think that, given a set of transcripts containing dated information, anyone with the brains of a rhododendron would have the sense to shuffle the order of the target list. Unbelievably, one set was given to judge Hastings having the same order as the corresponding transcripts, Puthoff originally denied this accusation but eventually ‘fessed up, two years later. Much more recently, physicist Elliott Weinberg visited Puthoff and Targ’s lab to check on the old adage of “older and wiser”, to find that, indeed, both gentlemen were now older. Over lunch, the unfortunate Weinberg was subjected to the rantings of one Pat Price, ex-policeman and one of the subjects of the earlier SRI experiments. After Price had rambled on about his ability to read numbers off of Soviet submarines currently in home port, Weinberg offered him the opportunity to read the numbers off of a dollar bill in his wallet. Price’s response was that he wasn’t “in the mood,” In a mpste$ece‘of understatement, Puthoff confided thatPrice “may sometimes overstate his powers.” Do tell. Weinberg also had the opportunity to play the part of psychic (P) and, while Puthoff visited the underpass at the Stanford railway station, Weinberg drew pictures of the gardens around the Stanford University hospital. Against all odds (and all semblance of reason for that matter), Puthoff managed to pry a success out of this nonachievement by pointing out that, while crossing a walkway to get to the underpass, one could see some plants off in the distance. The mind reels. And while Puthoff seems to have decided that discretion is the better part of valor and faded into the sunset, Targ hascome out swinging with the eminently nonsensical book Mind Race that is as much a slashing attack on his critics as it is hype about his latest psychic discovery, co-author, outof-body astral traveller and all-around space cowboy Keith Harary, The irony of the entire situation is that Targ seems bound and determined not to learn anything from past debacles and, while his whiz kid Harary is getting all the free publicity he can handle, according to Martin Gardner, “For Targ, unquestionably a sincere believer but with a mind as naive and gullible as a child’s, the book is a disaster.”
Through the sale of commemorative Torch Relay glasses, Petro-Canada has raised approximately four million dollars over the past two years. The fund has been officially named the Petro-Canada Olympic Torch Relay Legacy Fund. One hundred academic awards will be given out annually to student atheltes, To be eligible, a student athlete must be a member of- a designated Canadian university, college or technical institute team, a current or former member of a national team, or an able bodied or disabled athlete actively pursuing a designated provincial or national training program. Twothousand dollar ‘-academic awards will be provided to university athletes and a $1,000 bursary to community college or technical institute athletes. University of Waterloo athletic director Carl Totzke admits he doesn’t know much about the specifics of the plan. “I really haven’t heard too much about it,” said Totzke.“The torch relay people got involved with the Olympic Committee it looks like Otto Jelinek’s plans got sidetracked.” Last year, Jelinek, Canada’s Sports Minister proposed, a plan to fund univeristy athletes in order to stop the ex-odus of Cana-

some of our athletes or not.” But Totzke still hasn’t changed his position in opposition to this type of funding. “We don’t think these athletic scholarships are appropriate,” he said. “We would rather they give funds right across the board,” The fund will also assist in developing Canadian coaches. These awards will be given to full-time students enrolled in graduate programs (coaching science) who have been active in developing provincial and national calibre athletes and who wish to pursue a career in coaching upon completion of their schooling. Eight coaching awards of $8,000 apiece will be awarded annually.

Fifteen years old: PhD. candidate by John Maeon Imprint staff Don’t be fooled by his youthful appearance, Tony Lai is a candidate for a PhD in computer science. Being 15 years old, he comes across as a budding first year student with a long road still ahead.
photo by Sharon E. Frey
Tony has travelled that path already in his native Prince Edward Island. Skipping kindergarten, he attended grades one through three covering up to six grade math in the three years. Passing over fourth grade, he-advanced to grades five and six. He would sit through the regular math classes with his peers but rather than study the prescribed material, Tony would carry his own Algebra texts to read in class. At the end of sixth grade, he wrote a provincial math competition which was open to all high school students, in which he placed seventh. IBased on those results, he received permission to take two calculus courses over the summer. With marks in the go’s, the admission committee at the University of PEI accepted him on probation for the first term.
Tony was II! The transition from grade school to university was a sudden and drastic one but having . his father (a professor at UPEI] on campus was a big help. Tony never felt pressure from his parents and said, “The decision to attend university at 11 was my own.” His undergraduate major was i Physics but he took required and elective courses in English and Psychology which he enjoyed. Lai transferred to UW, in the spring of 1987, because of the reputation of the CS faculty. Having completed his master’s degree in January, he is now working on his PhD. “Data Structures” is the subject of his research in which he is looking at methods for storing information so it can be retrieved efficiently. He is the youngest PhD
student in the history of UW. He hopes to complete his current studies within two vears and continue in the academic vein by becoming a professor. It seems highly possible that his students will be older than himself at that stage. Asked about his interests out-side the realm of CS, Tony said TV and reading keep him occupied. The show “Max Head; room” was a favorite before it was canceiled. Thgcomic section and technology column of the Globe and Mail are regular fare. “Debunking” of Imprint fame is also on his list of weekly reading.
Maybe the university should have requested this young man’s advice before constructing the Davis Centre because he has strong opinions about its design flaws. Tony does not have a girlfriend on campus and claimed he was not sure whether he would follow at an equally rapid pace with ladies as he has with his studies. Tony Lai has reached amazing levels of achievement but he is not resting on his laurels, in fact he wonders if he could have attained them even sooner!

UW sends UN delegation by Marie Imprint
*
Sedivy staff
Eight University of Waterloo students represented the Bahamas in a model United Nations run by Harvard University February 17 to 21. While the simulated UN has been held for almost 30 years, this year marked the first time UW sent a delegation. ihZs .More . 1~ 1,500 students, forming elegations, took %% part in the ekent organized by the Harvard UN Club. Only six Canadian universities participated. Members of the UW delegation were: Doug Brumton, Lisa Eckel, Lisa Manning, Angela Montero, Kelly Payne, Mike Salaavaara, Peter Sharp, and Boris Shorfer. The delegation was organized by Gemma Cox. While many of this year’s delegates were political science students, the model UN is open to all students regardless of their faculty. The students participated in simulatiotis of various UN committees. Peter Sharp participated in the Special Political committee which examined the Iran-Iraq war and the invasion of Afghanistan. “The Iran-Iraq issue was a real mess,” commended Sharp. “You get an idea of why it’s still going on; there are a lot of people who want to keep the war going.” Lisa Manning was involved with the Legal Committee and worked on strengthening the UN Charter. She called it a “good lesson in diplomacy.” ’ Kelly Payne worked on The Law of the Sea Committee which dealt with the jurisdiction of in-
ternational waters; issues this committee discussed included deep-sea mining, international trade routes, and nuclear waste disposal in the sea, Brumton and Shorfer took part in the Organization of American States. This specialized agency based in Washington, DC, is not an actual committee of the UN plenary. This group sought a solution to the civil war in Nicaragua and tried to establish a general peace plan for the area. Because it was a small committee, there was more input from each individual member. While only six Canadian universities participated, propor-
they met were well educated about Canada, Most Americans present also disagreed with Reagan‘s foreign policy. All UW delegates felt they benefitted from the experience. “You learn that there is a place for mediation and negotiation in international politics,*’ commented Payne. “You get to appreciate other countries+ positions,” said Shorfer. Sharp pointed out that we rarely hear Iran‘s side in the war, and it made the students realize that they have some valid points to make. The students also gained an insight into the mechanics of UN

tionally Canadian students won more of the awards given out by the various committees. Several of UW’s delegates felt this to be a reflection of the state of Canadia,n diplomacy. Manning also pointed out that many students from other universities received credit for participating in the event. The delegates described the model UN was an educational experience that enabled them to meet many interesting people. The group felt they had many opportunities to listen and learn because they represented a small country. They remarked that most of the American students

Countries can call for a caucus, they demand working papers, etc. And every time ‘there is a change in the situation, as in the case of Central America, “you have to start from square one. ” The group remarked that as students, they weren‘t as restricted in negotiations as actual diplomats would be. While the delegates were expected to parallel the actual stands of the countries they represented, creativity was also encouraged. Because of this, they felt they were able to accomplish much. 4i What we did in two or three days would take them years, ++ said Sharp.

by Lisa Dillon Imprint staff The role and circumstances of women in India and the effects of feminism and development on them was the subject of a Women in Development seminar led February 29 at UW by Kishwar A. Shiraii and Sujata Madhok. Shiraii, who holds an MA in Clinical Psychology and a PhD in English, is a psychology professor and feminist researcher at Himachal Pradesh University in India. On a regular basis, however, Shirali lives in GhanaHatti, a village situated in the Himalayan mountains where she runs a counseiiing centre, While based at the university, researching working-class women, Shiraii was consistently surprised by how stressed their lives were. “More and more I got the feeling that living in the ivory tower of research and academia wasn’t enough,” says Shiraii. Thus, Shiraii moved to a mud hut in Ghana-Hattie At first, the villagers regarded Shiraii with bewilderment, since most movement is away from the . village to the city. Gradually, they came to trust and help her. Shiraii decided to use her position to form a self-help centre, where any villager could come to talk. This centre - named ASK - promotes self-help and self-. sufficiency. Shiraii helped ohe girl who escaped prostitution in Delhi by offering her shelte? and encouraging her to learn weaving skills with a local carpenter. Shiraii described how the push for development in India has changed the lives of women - often for the worse. Opportunities to sell milk and grain has often deprived villages of needed nourishment. High quaiity cash crops which need water, fertilizer, and pesticides have marginaiized small farmers. Women are often the hardest hit by marginaiization. Traditional female tasks such as hoeing and reaping have been eliminated by mechanization. “Men can always find other jobs, such as tractor driving, but because of cultural traditions, women cannot fill these positions,” explained Shirali. “The
migration of marginaiized women to already crowded cities has contributed to problems with prostitution, drugs, and crime.” Shirali pointed out that the balance between social and economic development has not been maintained. “What is amazing is that women, who are still expected to keep food on the table, are surviving. We want to extend a helping hand to make their lives slightly better.” Sujata Madhok, a journalist with the Hind-Star Times who frequently examines feminist issues, algo spoke at the seminar. Madhok described the Conference of Women Activists held in India this year, at which’ interclass relationships, violence in the home and state, health, ecoiogy, and religion were some of the issues discussed. Participants in this conference - attendees numbered about 600 included student groups, middle-class feminists, grassroots voluntary agencies, and members of the Indian People’s Front. Madhok and Shirali both said it is becoming obvious that social roles in India must to change, and that the community must take responsibility for this. India’s laws are quite liberal toward the role of women; it is tradition which is holding women back. “Indian society has traditionally b&n so structured and segregated that men and women now find it hard to work together,” said Madhok. “On the other hand, women in Indian society work together very easily.” One member of the audience questioned whether Shiraii’s local village work was not a band-aid approach which would have ,iittie effect on bringing large changes to Indian society. Shirali said the In response, changing of India’s social roles must start at a grass-roots level. “It is frustrating when you know that a whole system must be changed, but if we can raise consciousness at a local level, hopefully Indians will come to see the need for, and want, change.”

Can.ada’s best Congratulations to Calgarians, Canadians as a whole, and to ABC’s “man at field level” during the closing ceremonies of the 15th Winter Olympic games. I congratulate Calgarians because they did an unrivalled job at impressing millions of television viewers world wide with a tremendous show of warmth, Olympic spirit, and hospitality. I congratulate ABC’s man covering the field level activities of the closing ceremonies because he did more for explaining “What is Canada” ndreds of millions of Americans than has been accomplis l!bmB ce Canada became overwhelmed with American influence at the close of the Second World War. He bluntly told Americans a few things about Canada which went beyond the traditional boring exposure of Canada whining about environmental concerns, or scrambling for trade deals. What this ABC crew member said was what I picture a Canadian broadcaster would say, The American network did, after all, show the stars and stripes whenever it possibly could which is altogether acceptable since Americans make up the bulk of ABC’s market. Yet, when ABC’s man told the American audience that a valuable lesson can be learned about Calgary ‘88 in that Canada is more than a country that exports hockey players and imports baseball players as well as acid rain from the United States. He did not limit his definition of Canada to a word or phrase; he relied on the refreshing image which Calgary portrayed to make his point. Media reports coming from American as well as Canadian broadcasters couldn’t say enough about the high caliber of the game’s organizathXalgarians pulled out all the stops to show the global community the international spirit is alive and well in Calgary. Because of this demonstration of enthusiasm while thousands invaded their western city, Calgarians gained respect on the world stage for Canada. I followed the Olympics on CTV as a principle, and for the most part I found CTV’s coverage top notch. The reason I was caught watching ABC is that I am continually curious about how the American media handles an event compared to a simultaneous Canadian broadcast. If I cut through the American slant, ABC was obviously top notch, but when I saw an American going to bat for Canada on such a high spectacle telecast, I was downright impressed. by Mike

Crisis situation What can I say about South Africa that has not already been said? All signs point to a bloody conclusion to the minority government’s rule. The large majority of the population lives in poverty; most of the rest live like socially irresponsible North Americans, or Europeans. The ‘South African army is taking out is frustrations on Angolans, not yet being able to teach their fellow citizens properly how to obey, and landowners and city dwellers are arming themselves and their homes to an extent that would shame the NRA. The rise of an ultra-conservative defence force out of the minority’s ranks, complete with flags, uniforms and intolerance, is not surprising as the South African government seems to be losing its grip on the course of change. Last week, in desperation, this government virtually banned all forms of legitimate opposition: at least they remain staunch allies against the repressive forces of communism. For some reason (hint: it rhymes with Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Israel, and profit] the west cannot act in concert to stem the, flow of arms to South Africa. Corporations sniffing the big profits to be had in a slave society are reluctant to withdraw their operation claiming the loss of jobs would be more harmful to the majority than full sanctions applied to the minority. And the loss of jobs from disarmament would be worse than war. The point is the South African government is blocking all its paths for retreat, compromise, and settlement. By choking off legitimate protest, press censorship included, the government has created a false dichotomy between the growing radical elements of the majority, and the growing reactionary faction of the minority, Thegovernment is strengthening the foundations for civil war. Worse, the world community, especially the “democratic” and t”herefore morally superior western nations, are doing the lion’s share of nothing to prevent what we will all regret: another Cambodia, or Idi Amin. To our elected dunderheads, like the ho’st of problems facing the world, the real crisis will be apparent only when it is too lRt@m-w-.

It’s not often that UW students really get to speak their minds. The Ontario Federation of Students is giving university students all across this province a chance to let the government know they’re concerned with the future of education and student life. However, UW students have been far from ecstatic in their response to this offer. Perhaps there are valid reasons for this apathy. It takes time to impress upon students the importance of supporting their student leaders. A few headline stories and a front page articie do not generate enough awareness of the situation, 1 Maybe students have not signed up for the UW Federation of Students’ bus trip because

test of the federation’s credibility as a lobby group - if a significant number of student turn out, the OFS can legitimately say they represent student concerns. If the event flops, however, the OFS’ bargaining power will suffer a serious blow. If Ontario students are to gain any control over the future of their education, they must attend this rally; anything less will jeopardize every thing student leaders have worked to gain. Provincial politicians already find it easy to ignore students, a poor showing will only make it easier.

they feel they cannot afford the time away from class. The solution: cancel all classes March 10. The faculty deans, as well as president Doug Wright, should support this student initiative by freeing students of their academic commitments. Although the onus is on students to make a stand, the administration is presented with an excellent opportunity to demonstrate they are on the students’ side. Issues that affect students affect the university as a whole; administrators would be wise to give every assistance to any attempt at bettering the lot of postsecondary education in this province. While the OFS rally is centered on OSAP and student housing concerns, it is really a
No cause for-shame Between February 21 and 29, the general public has learned something about the sexuality of two prominent public figures. Both disclosures are causes for general celebration. One of them is televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, the’other is a member of our federal parliament, Svend Robinson. Aside from the general proximity in dates of their respective revelations, in no other way can the two be linked. Jimmy Swaggart was, in this authors opinion, one of the grossest manifestations of the religious right ever to hit the airwaves. Known for his ranting and strutting brand of devotional frenzy, he was to televangelism what his cousin Jerry Lee Lewis was to rock and roll. What makes his fall all the more obscene was the mountain of hypocrisy it reveals, Swaggart was known for his unflinching condemnation of “sin.“Yet at the same moment as he called Jim Bakker “a cancer on the body of Christ” for his brief encounter with Jessica Hahn, Swaggart
was cruising the “Air Line Highway” pickup strip in search of prostitutes. One of the members of his “Assemblies of God Church” is reported to have said: “I am indignant! How could he stand up there and preach against promiscuity when he was doing that kind of thing all this time?” Swaggart used the Bible to validate his unlimited intolerance, including anti-catholicism, anti-Semitism and homophobia. In the end, he forgot two important verses, “Judge not, lest you be judged” and “He who is without sin cast the first stone.” There cannot be a greater antithesis to Swaggart than the MP for Burnaby, B.C. and Justice Critic for the N.D.P., Svend Rodinson.

his own lips, the first Member of Parliament ever to do so - a truly courageous act. He has chosen to face any political fallout for the sake of the truth about himself and the good he believes will come from publicizing it. A graduate of the London School of Economics, he was elected to the House of Commons in 1979. He has made a name for himself as an eloquent and uncompromising spokesman for justice and peace: Swaggart’s sexual disclosure speaks of an unhealthy split personality; torn between his thunderous self-righteous persona and his private desires,-Robinson’s declaration, on the other hand, speaks of an honesty and integrity sorely lacking in most public figures.

LETTERS Now is not the time for compromise To the editor, The recent decision by the SUpreme Court of Canada that overturned the existing abortion law has raised the debate over the rights of the unborn and the rights of women once again. The reflection this debate has on our society is a disturbing one. In a quickening technological and modern society, lawmakers and politicians have taken the iniative to try and guarantee all of our rights by etching them is stone. The effect however, as we are beginning to see, is to limit our
freedom by establishing barriers and impediments to it, In an effort to define the basic reights of the individual we have lost sight of what society means to us and where we want society to go. While increased state intervention into the lives of Canadians has brought much good, the result has been, in effect a leaderless run society. Increasingly, on both provincial and federal levels, politicians are unwilling, or maybe unable, to take a firm and active leaders-hip role, Has compromise, the catch word for the last 70 years of Canadian history,
actually driven Canadian society further and further up an unknown path? Do we know where society is taking us? The question, of course, is rhetorical; however serious consideration must be given to it and answers found if we qe to hope to make a secure future for ourselves and for future generations of Canadians. An effort must be made to redefine society based on the dignity of both women and men recognizing their unique differences and qualities that make up a healthy society. Too often one reads stories in the media that sug-
in Canada sdj ’
gest that the rights of piople must be equal and absolute: for all intensive purposes+ based on a male model. Too much trust and emphasis and trust has been placed in our judicial system; while the courts are the first to admit that it can only make judgments based on the laws it is given by the people.Parliament is still the law-making body in government, but its direction must come from the Canadian peopl,e. However, the Canadian people are numb with apathy, which they consider a state or normalcy. Canada is at a turning point in
its history. Major decisions made now will go on affecting it for generations to come. A conscious decision to have a deeper concern and responsibility for our destiny rnusf come over Canadians. Now is not the time for passivity or complicit y, A review of our orientation as a nation and both long and short term goals need to be more closely questioned. The alternative is to continue to wonder aimlessly down a dark and foreboding path.

brary card catalogue. The UW library may have a computer system that is “1st in technology”, but they seem to be of the last to install such a system. Even WLU down the street has had a computerized card catalogue for more than a year. Actually, judging from UW’s high reputation in computers, I would have expected such a system to have been installed a long time ago. Furthermore, just because of
this one new system,
one cannot
generalize and say that the whole library is first in technology, For example, the code-reading signout devices at WLU which use red laser to read the code in one “glance” are technically superior to the light pens used at this university which require a slow stroking motion over the code until it is acknowledged. Going beyond the nitty gritty, though, I think that the UW libraries are seriously lacking in their way of checking if you have signed out your books just before you leave. In fact, it reminds me of when I went through London’s Heathrow Airport about 10 years ago when they still hand-searched your luggage. I find it personally humiliating and, at times, I suspect the attendant checking my knapsack does too. Notice that the library presumes you are guilty [of stealing books) until proven innocent. Beyond the legal or moral implications, it is just very inconvenient to have to re-open your knapsack just after hazrng “packed up” on another Ye; again, WLU surpasses UW in library technology - it has a book detection system whereby all books are “sensitized” and if a book has not been signed out a bell will ring and the exit gate lock.

UW activism a fraud To
the editor,
Hey, Waterloo is planning on sending busloads of students to a march on Queen’s Park on March 10. To a protest! Does this mean that UW students actually care about something enough to leave their precious classes and computer terminals to try and do something about it? It must be a tint issue to elicit PFYai’ T 6tic response form such ordinarily apathetic students. the issues? The meager $106 living allowance from OSAP, and the restriction of the number of students that can live together. Wow. Big stuff. It’s really quite sad that students here feel obligated to protest about something only when it starts to infringe u on their ever-so-important li P estyles. Did students here get anywhere near so upset about forcin UW to divest from South A Brican corn anies {they could have real Py learned something from the studi!#@at Queen’s and To-
ronto)? About the US, using Canada as an arms-testing ground for a first-strike nuclear weapon (the cruise)? How about the incredible environmental problems currently facing us, or the unbelievably sadistic acts performed by the Coors-backed Contras (Coors is still a bestseller at Fed Hall)? Or the blatant1 repressive censorship legis Yation, Bill C-541 Not a chance. Perhaps”the problems being protested on March 10 are imortant, and I’ll admit they are, & ut if the education we recieve doesn’t teach us to care about issues that real1 mat.ter, to everyone, then may g e the education we are so vehemontly trying to protect isn’t as important as we think. Sure, it’s great that we’re sending representatives to the protest, but why do we have to turn a blind eye when it comes to doing something about an issue that doesn’t directly affect our complacency-ridden lifestyle?

Degenerative

Obesity
Miles
is a-disease that concerns many people America, especially with our obsession for thinness. Obese humans have a much greater chance of getting cancer and a much greater chance of dying from it if they do. Obesity is a widely noted risk factor for coronary heart disease. High fiber diets have been shown to reduce obesity, whereas low fiber diets are believed to promote it, Vegetarians, who in general eat more fiber and less fat than meat eaters, are on averages 10 to 30 pounds lighter than meat eaters, Diabetes has been closely linked with obesity, especially maturity-onset diabetes. It is also, like obesity, a risk factor for coronary heart disease. ‘Diets high in both carbohydrates and fiber have had startling results in the treatment of diabetes; dependence on insulin therapy decreases or ceases altogether. Individuals on a low-fiber diet are prone to a certain amount of constipation which, over the years, becomes viewed as normal. This constipation enhances the chances of developing hemorrhoids, appendicitis and diverticulosis. Appendicitis is encouraged by a diet which produces small, hard feces; this is true of a low-fiber diet. Diverticulosis has only become a major problem in the last 70 years or so, paralleling the rise of fiber-free foods in the economy. A high-fiber diet has been shown to be quite effective in treating the painful symptoms of this disease.

The incidence of degenerative diseases in the Western world has dramatically increased within this century. Degenerative diseases are not caused by hostile micro-organisms attacking our body but, rather, by our bodies malfunctioning. Such diseases include cancer, obesity, diabetes, hemorrhoids,
and
appendicitis.
Many people believe that these diseases are an inevitable part of aging and that these diseases didn’t develop in the past because people didn’t live long enough. However, there is much eviden&e that these degenerafive diseases are not, inevitable, but are instead related to our tiestern lifestyle, Meat in particular, and animal products in geeneral, have three nutritional disadvantages. They contain too much fat, too much protein and no fiber at all. Fiber is the indigestible part of food, often referred to as “bulk”, Even though our bodies don’t digest it, it still has an important part to play in our diet. Almost all plant foods naturally contain fiber, However, refined foods such as white flour have had most, if not all, of the fiber removed. Both refined foods and animal products are emphasized by the western diet even though such a lack of has been shown

The Idea
of a University
J
.
Vision and rene-wal iJJ
a.‘4i 2 $4_.*:a In this short history of the univk&ty we have looked at the words of six writers and their “idea of a university.” Their thoughts have spanned 135 years, fro 1857 to 1987 and reflect the evolving nature of the modern university, What trends can be identified in this 3horf period of time? A short list would Include the tremendous expansion of the university system, the rise of scientific research as an equal, if not dominant, partner to teaching in the university, the decline of a core liberal education and, Bnally, a corresponding increase in proFessional programs. by Ted Carlton
What did the writers ‘we examined 9ave to say about these trends? On the Issue of research there was disagreement. 3pinions varied from Newman, who saw no place for science at the university, to rasper’s who say “research as the foremost concern of the university.” On the ssue of liberal education and profesgional education, with different views as Its precise nature. And, while all saw a role for the university in supplying professional training and skills, none saw this as the primary role of university teaching. The fact that these trends have been evident for some time does not mean that debate surrounding them had died out. The tremendous and unexpected success
of The Closing of the American Mind suggests an uneasiness at the present state of higher education. The National Forum on Post-Secondary Education held in October avoided questions of funding and dealt with matters of educational needs and philosophy. When the university administrator asks for more money, the politician has a right to ask “money for what purpose, and why?” The diligent reader can be forgiven for asking what the purpose of this column has been. The simple answer is that Waterloo is now embarking on its own process of renewal and the ideas discussed in the past are relevant and necessary for our discussions in Waterloo in 1988. This process of renewal is brought about by the recent adoption of the Fourth Decade report by the Senate and the Board of Governors. The product of over two years work in the senate Long Range Planning Committee, the report’s aim is to chart the “university’s future course in an uncertain environment.” The report is divided into two main sections, “The Mission atid Goal of the University of Waterloo” and “A Vision of the University”. The mission statements “define what the university does” and consist of 12 statements broadly outlining the actiities of the university. The goal of the university is simply stated as “excellence in its mission.” This excellence can be measured by the publication
records of faculty, the success of students in international competitions and less quantitative measures such as the quality of teaching, learning, and human relations. The crux of the report is the “vision” section. The report states the vision of the university is a “description of its desired state - the target for the process of change. The vision is the university’s view of its own potential, flattering perhaps, but compelling enough to be a target for the long term even if teaching the target seems very difficult today.” The vision takes the form of several short statements grouped into eight different sections. The statements themselves are intentionally of a very general nature, The translation of these statements into actions is left undone. “It will be up to others to make it more specific and to define the objectives as they plan the changes which will bring it about.” What does the report say about undergraduate education? Well, it says a lot, and at the same time, not very much about the direction of academics. It states a commitment to quality teaching, it mentions the use of computing, and talks of finding “alternative instructional formats” to the traditional lecture method. The report also states Waterloo’s approach to education “articulates educational philosophy in its programs in terms of the balances between teaching
$JJdF
. gfl
1s and and learning, between fundq applications, between,breadth ?z2f depth, between the new and the traditional,” Finally, it states that the aim of the curriculum is to develop “intellectual flexibility, clarity in written and oral self-expression, the ability to integrate knowledge from many sources, and the desire and skills for lifelong learning” in all Waterloo graduates. One can react two ways to this report. A critic would state that the report is so vague, so general, and so strenuously avoids making choices between competing priorities, that it is virtually meaningless. A supporter would respond by saying that it is impossible for a single report to lay out specific dir~c$@8~ to the university for the next ten y-and that the structure lends itself to continued debate and examination within the university. It becomes clear, then, that the report needs continual attention throughout the university if it is to have any real effect, While it would be overstating the case to say that the report has prompted a flurry of activity, numerous departments are now examining their own programs in light of the Report. The important questions for us as students are how we wish to interpret the Fourth Decade Report and what we can do to bring about the changes we desire within the university. More on this next week.

Excess packaging Today’s supermarket ahelves are stocked with between 6,000 and 8,000 different items. Each item is carefully wrapped in its own elaborate packaging in order to entice the consumer to buy that particular product, Most of this packaging material is eventually thrown awav. The ver.v DroDerties that make materials like s, tin, and plastici good for packaging also mak JP em a long-term waste disposal problem because they don’t easily break-down or “bibdegrade” when thrown into landfills. Non-degradable goods and packages account for 58 per cent of our discarded wastes, including 90 per cent of glass, 50 per cent of plastics, and42 per cent of paper. For every $1,000 in supermarket sales, 100 pounds of corrugated cardboard and 65 pounds of other packaging wastes will be generated. All packaging materials can contribute to unattractive litter problems if not reused or recycled. Besides being non-biodegradable, discarded plastic debris also endangers marine animals. It is estimated that between 300,000 and 700,000 seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals have died in the North Pacific alone after ingesting plastic debris. If burned or incinerated, some plastics give off hazardous emissions of chemicals including hydrogep chloride, furans, and dioxins. Polystyrene blow.) with chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s) ihave been linked to the destruction of the Earth’s ozone layer. Chlorine molecules released during the manufacturing process travel into the stratosphere where they attack the oxygen molecules of the ozone layer. This allows greater penetration of dangerous ultraviolet radiation, Besides the direct cost of elaborate packaging, consumers also pay indirectly for the disposal of packaging wastes through tax increases, And today’s waste management is extremely expensive for all parties concerned including municipalities. Toronto for example is considering implementing a $50 per tonne tipping fee in order to better reflect the true cost of landfilling. Despite the growing cost of waste management packaging companies continue to pour more elaborate disposable packaging onto the market. Some of the more glaring examples include: Single Serving Packages -
and the supermarket
These products symbolize a move away from more traditional lifestyles and packaging. Instead of “family” or “economy” size these products are self contained single servings with packaging that can be thrown away. The target is the single individual with little time or inclination for meal preparation. This market is already enormous accounting for $1~ billion in sales in the United States in 1986. The market for single serving disposable plastic packaging is expected to grow by 50 per cent reaching 65.3 billion units in 1996, At the same time the market for single serving glass containers. are expected to decline from 19 billion units to 14 billion units by 1996 Microwave Products - Capitalizing on the microwave craze, companies are scrambling to pour more products onto the market in durable-microwavable packaging. By 1991 the microwave industry should produce 2.2 billion units worth over $340 million. The result is that traditional glass and tin containers are being replaced by multi-material packaging including metalized films, foil systems, polyethylene, polystyrene, and other synthetics. Unlike glass and tin there are few existing reuse or recycling possibilities. The presence of mixed packaging materials makes recycling extremely difficult. “Juice in a Box”, For a drink that lasts no longer than a couple of minutes we have a container made out of disposable polyethylene, aluminum foil, and paperboard. A mill in Aurora, Ontario plans to use 15,000 tonnes of paperboard, 5,000 tonnes of polyethylene, and 1,500 tonnes of aluminum foil annually to make one such product. There are several things you can do while buying groceries that can help reduce excess packaging. The key is to regularly practice as many as possible: Avoid buying on impulse (approximately 75 per cent of products are impulse items]. Make a grocery list and stick to it. Understand that excess packaging costs you money, depletes natural resources, and adds to health and environmental problems. Buy returnable and recyclable products. Avoid disposable products where alternatives exist.
INTRODUCING
Avoid individually wrapped and sized products. Reuse containers and bags. Save bags and egg cartons and give them to market vendors, local farmers, or health food stores. We can work with others interested in conserving our resourcea. <It is p!pJic pressure that has largely been rtisponsible for for;iling industry M government’s to consider alternatives to throwing away wastes. As a group we can use many different strategies: Citizens across the United States have joined against the use of ozone-depleting and non-biodegradable styrofoam at their local McDonalds. The “McToxics Campaign” enabled local students and citizens to distribute litera’ture to customers urging them to ask for paper packaging instead of Styrofoam. It also gave them the opportunity to talk to the local media about the packaging problem. Similar actions have been used against Styrofoam meat-trays in supermarkets. Several types of legislation have also been introduced. Berkeley, California has implemented a municipal ban on CFC-blown Styrofoam. Halton region has considered banning corrugated cardboard from existing landfills. Bills which encourage waste reduction, limit multi-layer packaging, ban plastic rings (joining beverage containers) etc. have been introduced in several US. states including Minnesota, Vermont, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, In Ontario, councilors from Peel region initiated a province-wide petition to have the Ontario government force manufacturers to use packaging that is not harmful to the environment. To support this petition write to Premier David Peterson at Queen’s Park. WPIRG is organizing a conference on June lo-11,1988 where government, industry, and citizens’ groups will be brought together to discuss the excess packaging issue. Speakers from the United States and Canada will talk about successful packaging initiatives and examine how they might be adopted to Ontario.

PIETERMARITZBURG, (IPS/ISE) - A 70-year-old man, who only recently applied to the Supreme Court for protection from members of the conservative Inkatha inovement, was killed February 17 in a township near here. Johannes Nkomo, a member of the anti-apartheid Congress of South African Trade Unions [COSATU), was stabbed at his home in Sweetwaters by unknown assailants. His wife and a daughter were also injured in the attack. Nkomo had brought an urgent application before the Su,preme Court here seeking protection from the Inkatha movement. He said in his application that he feared for the lives of himself and his family because of an attack on his house on February 2, in which attackers burnt his outhouse and destroyed all of his belongings. Nkomo said that, although he reported the incident to the police, no action had been taken. “There was no reason for the attack. I still wake up at night hearing shots and shouting. I and my family no longer feel safe and actually fear for our lives. The situation has become intolerable and unbearable,” Nkomo said in his application. I ’ Nkomo’s application was to have been heard February 17 in the court. His lawyers said they will now ask the court to protect the trade unionist’s wife and children, Violent clashes between Inkatha and members of COSATU and the United Democratic Front (UDF) broke out last September. Some 400 people have died in the clashes, At the root of the conflict lies a bitter bid for supremacy and the history of the conflict dates back to 1983 when the UDF, an alliance of some 700 anti-apartheid groups, was first formed. Pietermaritzburg, the scene of the ongoing strife+ was the first region in Natal where Inkatha,
headed by the Kwazulu homeland leader, chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi, was confronted by organized opposition. Peace talks between the two groups - which broke down last December - resumed February 23. The director of the Pietermaritzburg Agency for Christian Social Awareness, Peter Kerschoff, told IPS that a number of people who had brought applications similar to that of Nkomo had fled their homes to seek refuge following his death. He said most people were nervous, wondering if they would be next. ?They are scared. Until they personally appear in court and obtain protectjon, they have decided to stay far away from their homes,” Kerschoff said. Meanwhile, in a separate development in the sprawling black township of Soweto near
Johannesburg, residents say the authorities have mounted a new campaign to force people to pay their rent. Residents have staged a threeyear-old rent boycott to force Pretoria to meet their demands of ending the state of emergency, removing troops from black townships and providing better municipal services. Soweto residents said heavily-armed officials moved from door-to-door in a bid to force people to pay their rent arrears. Reports from other parts of the country also indicate a new move by Pretoria to break the crippling rent boycott which has cost the government 250 million rands ($125 million U.S.) in lost revenue. The boycotts have been sustained in some 54 townships natimwide, despite Pretoria’s previous attempts to break the rent strike.
Population growth a worldwide threat (ISIS) - In a new book, “Gaining People, Losing Ground”, author Werner Fornos, warns that the world’s current population of five billion people could double within 40 years; and that the cost of such “unbridled” population growth will be paid by developed and developing nations alike. Fornos, President of the Population Institute, presents a scenario in which fiations burdened by huge, and impoverished populations, will decimate their resource base. Productivity and income will decline, followed by social and economic disintegration, which would then spill across borders to jeopardize the economies and security of neighbours. The objective of a stable, de-
mocratic world, says Fornos, can only be achieved with wise economic planning and responsible strategies for limiting population growth - an ideal which can only be achieved in a rational way in the developing world with sustained assistance from developed nations. That, in turn, he says, will require a reversal of the present American administration’s decision to withhold funding from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA J. “The future relationship between the United States and UNFPA will help determine the world’s success in stabilizing rapid population growth,” he says, “At the moment, that future remains anything but clear.”

Growning international backing for research NEW YORK (IPS/ISIS) - The World Health Organization (WHO] expects to receive $66 million from 14 donor countries to support its “Global Program on AIDS” in 1988, says the coordinator of the program.
Dr. Jonathan Mann said that the figure represented a substantial increase from the 1987 dontribution of $25 million and reflected the increased international support for the struggle against AIDS - “Acquired Im-
Nicaraguan cease,.r‘1 fire bkecficted. _ SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, [ IPS/ISIS)) - Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Miguel d’Escoto predicted here February 16 that his government and the Contras will reach a cease-fire during the direct negotiations which resumed February 18-19 in Guatemala. D’Escoto said he is “fully sure” the two sides will reach an agreement in Guatemala and added that the only foreseeable frustration of that goal would be a no-show by the Contras. He arrived in San Salvador February 16 to meet with foreign ministers from the four other Central American countries bound by the peace accord signed August 7, 1987 in Guatemala. The Nicaraguan minister told journalists that the recent U.S. House of Representatives defeat of President Ronald Reagan’s request for $36 million in renewed contra aid was “a positive step.” (The U.S. Senate approved the aid request in a symbolic vote]. “Hopefully it represents the start of a new chapter in the bi-
lateral relations between the United States and Nicaragua, and the United States and Latin America,” he added. Nonetheless, “it does not necessarily mean the end of the war,” he said. D’Escoto
maintained
“the time
has come to be more practical and more concrete, and-open the path to the unpostponable and essential on-site verification of the peace accord the five area presidents promised to follow, ‘totally and without excuses,’ at the January summit in Costa Rica.” After reaffirming their commitment to the peace plan, the presidents turned over the task of verifying compliance, initially in the hands of an international body, to an executive commission made up of the five foreign ministers. D’Escoto reported that “Nicaragua comes prepared with a three-part proposal for on-site verification,” and although he did not elaborate, he did tell IPS the prop&al suggests the inclusion of Spain in the verification process,
Conaressman backs Hoduran pullout TEGUCIGALPA, (IPS/ISIS] U.S. House of Representatives Democratic Whip Tony Coelho has voiced his support for a Honduran foreign ministry proposal to eliminate “irregular” Nicaraguan and Salvadoran forces in its territory, the ministry has reported. According to the announcement, Coelho sent a letter to U.S. of State George Secretary Shultz, urging the Reagan Administration t% back theHonduran proposal, which was presented at the 17th general’ meeting of the Organization of American States (OAS) on November 12. In the proposal, Honduran Foreign Minister Carlos Lopez stressed the urgent need tti form an international commission to prevent the use of his cauntry’s territory as a sanctuary by Nica- ,a raguan and Salvadoran rebel . forces. He urgedNicaragua to st’op.its ’ violation of Honduran airspace, territorial waters and land. The minister also called for Nicaragua to withdraw its troops near the Honduran border and halt the bombing and mining of Honduran territory and the abduction of Honduran citizens. Broadly put, Nicaragua must “stop its political-military intervention in other Latin American countries,”
the
foreign
ministry
asserted. The document also proposed the progressive withdrawal of all foreign troops from Central America, including Cuban and Soviet troops in Nicaragua and U.S. troops based in Honduras. Another ,aspect of the proposal suggests disarming Nicaraguan and Salvadoran rebels in Hon-
duras, providing humanitarian aid and sending them to a third country. Congressman Coelho said the Honduran proposal includes significant measures which address the security issues of greatest concern to the United States, Support for the proposal offers the United States a “precious opportunity” to contribute to the peace - process in Central America, he maintained.

earmarked
for
national
programs would be *spent in Africa. In 1987, half of the allocation went to Africa with the remai’nder
distributed
between
Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, the Pacific, and Europe. Reporting on the extent of the disease, Mann said, to date, there were 77,984 cases of AIDS reported officially to the WHO from 132 countries. The organization estimates, however, the total number of cases is closer to 150,000, as many countries under-report the extent of the disease. In addition to the known cases of full blown AIDS, millions of people are already infected by the AIDS virus and will contract the disease “months or years” from now, he said. Among developing countries, many African nations haye established programs to combat AIDS. This is in contrast to the situation a few years ago, when few governments acknowledged the seriousness of the situation. Zaire, one African country with a serious AIDS problem is the ‘best example of a country with which WHO and other international agencies have developed a five-year national AIDS program. Mann said that, at a recent meeting in Kinshasa, donors agreed to commit $5 million for the first year of the program and future funding would depend on how the program is managed during its initial phase. Mann said WHO was collaborating with 115 countries around the world to combat the disease by setting up national programs adapted to national needs. He said 142 countries would need assistance, both financial and technical. He stressed the need for better coordination of resources, both within and outside countries, in order to maximize the use of donor money f,or AIDS. Asked whether there was a pattern to the spread of the disease, Mann said that a distinction had to be made between infection and disease.
Whereas nothing could be done for people who already have the disease, much could be done to stop the spread of infection by behavioral change, he said. Evidence to support this claim could be seen in the homosexual community in the United States, where behavioral change has stemmed the spread-‘of the disease, he added. Studies of intravenous drug users in Arn&r$w, had a& shown how b&&iiirral changekept the rate of infection at a relatively constant level, he said. He concluded that the infection rate was in direct proportion to behavior in other parts of the world and that behavior was the key element in the spread of AIDS, unlike in other viral diseases. He added that in the nkxt five
years, five to 10 per cent of the infected people would get the disease. Although AIDS was a worldwide epidemic, he said, its development was at different stages in different parts of the world, because patterns of infection differed. In Africa for instance, the spread &AIDS was due to heterosexual ‘transmission as opposed to North, America where its trans@asion ‘was mainly ho. mosexual. T.hus, ‘in North America, the risk to women was considerably lower than in Africa, where the ratio of infection was one man to one woman. The risk to children born to infected mothers was extremely high and the infant mortality rate in countries where women were infected was expected to be very high, he said. -

Domination by Marc Brzustowski Imprint staff An alternative to the “dominant blueprint for human existence” is needed if our species is to survive because society, now structured to make war inevita-. ble, “values attributes of humankind that lead to combat.” This new vision, the theme of a. jalk given by Hildi Froese Tiess&n,ofConrad Grebel’s English Department, concerns women -and peace. The February 25 lecture, part of Women in the Arts Week, featured two films from the National Film Board’s Studio D: “Speaking Our Peace” and “Nuclear Addiction”. The studio is also responsible for the Oscarwinning “If You Love This Planet+‘, branded as anti-American propaganda by the U.S. government. The history of feminism and pacifism often goes hand-inhand explained Froese Tiessen. Soon after the outbreak of World War I, European women met in the Hague and passed resolutions demanding a mediated end to the conflict, democratic control of foreign policy, women’s voice in the peace, and disarmament, in short, “ending man’s oldest profession.” War, “a male dominated institution”, would no longer be accepted, at least by feminists. Reading from women and men’s poetry, she illustrated the domination of the patriarchy, the “power of fathers”, over_ so- m ciety, the ultimate expression ot
of patriarchy
which is war, The patriarchy, with its stranglehold on ownership, law, labour, custom and education, survives by shaming less powerful males into complicity and consent. In the end men are as much victims as women: the pritriarchy’s leaders do not fight the wars themselves. Froesc Tiessen also sdoke of the need ‘to*“Bteal the language” and efid the pbtriarchy’s monopoly on the power of definition. Control over language is necessary not only to end the definition of women in passive, terms”, negative and “lacking but to give peace a new vocabu-
seen as destructive
lary. The names assigned to times of peace, she explained, such as pre-war, inter-war, postwar and cold-war suggest “tacimply that war is itly normative.” In the same way, non-violence implies violence is the norm. The next illogical step along the same path of reasoning dictates that-“what is, is naturally so, and should remain so” she said. But due to culture rather than nature is the militarism of society. As Froese Tiessen noted, here is hope: patriarchal institutions need not hold sway; they are not natural.
But running counter to the norm, an activity not much appreciated by the fathers, incurs the power of their propaganda. Such an attack on non-conformity prompted Margaret Laurence, interviewed in “Speaking Our Peace” to say thisi “Qea@K. is subversive, in God’s nat&. what is war?”
Because the patriarchy confirms men in social, political and economic dominance, women, as outsiders, are best suited to offer a new world view, an approach based on an equally real and valid, though non-traditional ” f%xc# of reference. Said Froese Tieseen, the “patriarchy must be replaced by alternate visions.”

Smoking is a habit that has been well-studied, and the fact that there are risks and hazards involved with smoke inhalation has been well-documented. What many find fascinating is that people continue to smoke even knowing that they are jeopardizing their health and the health of others around them. Smoking is addictive. What this means is that the smoker has not only become physically dependent on tobacco, but is also emotionally and psychologically affected by it. On top of that, the smoker has made “lighting up” a habit, meaning that his daily routine also depends upon this ritual to function smoothly. Non-smokers find it extremely difficult to understand that people who smoke and want to quit may go through devastating emotional and psychological trauma, and that they are simply not able to stop what their body [and mind] has become used to,no matter how educated they are or how logical the decision to quit would be. The problem of stopping’smoking is so great that support groups have been set up, psychologists and doctors have been specifically trained, education programs are evident in all areas, and even medication has been invented to cut down on the cravings smokers have after quitting. Smoking has been one of the greatest causes of cancer and has been shown to contribute to many deaths. Documentation also shows that second-hand smokes alike. Why? What’s in that smoke? A 1977 reference* gave this information: bennpyrensan organic compound of the aromatic hydrocarbon family. Benzpyrene is one of the most potent carcinogens known. When laboratory workers want to induce experimental skin cancer in test animals, they simply paint a spot with a benzpyrene solution. Probably the principal carcinogen in cigarette smoke; cadmium - a metallic element that occurs in nature largely as trace material in zinc ores. Cigarette smokers and those in smokefilled rooms divide between them form I to z micrograms of cadmium per package of cigarettes. carbon monoxide - a colorless, odorless, tasteless, poisonous gas. It reduces the efficiency of the bloodstream in carrying oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body (by binding to the hemoglobin in the blood). This forces the heart to work harder. About 0.5 per cent of the hemoglobin of a normal non-smoker breathing Cl-free air will be unavailable to carry oxygen;if just a few parts per million of CO are present in air, up to1 - 2 per cent of the blood’s hemoglobin is soon locked up. The average smoker of a pack a day has about 5 - 6 per cent of his hemoglobin tied up. Exposure to Co in air at a level of 120 ppm for an hour, which can happen in a smoke-filled room, causes headaches, dizziness, and a feeling of dullness. Carbon monoxide, known to cross the placenta in pregnant women, appears to be on factor in lower average birth weight of babies born of mothers who smoke. dimethylnitrosemine - are very powerful carcinogens, mutagens, and teratogens in experimental animals. A smoking cigarette is known to produce dimethylnitrosamine, and anyone smoking a pack of cigarettes inhales about 0.8 microgram of DMA. HCN - eye i&ant. and carcinogen;’ cigarette smokers receive a concintration -of 42,000~ ppm (the level consid&&d dangerous when the.arti& was written was 120 ppm). nitrogti disxide - eye irritant and carcinogen; cigarette smokers receive a concentration of 250 ppm [the level considered dangerous for constant exposure was 5 ppm); “the smoker does not drop dead simply because he is not continuously breathing air as heavily polluted as his cigarette smoke” radioactivity - the cigarette smoker’s lungs receive some cancerinducing radioactive lead [at least 40 millirems/year for the pack a day smoker); this is roughly about a third of what he cannot escape because of background radiation. *Reference: Holun, John R., Topics and Terms in Environmental Problems.

Student parents: Co1 wit.h dual resaponsi b by Lisa Y. Dillon Imprint staff “Raising a child is a crash course in reality . . . I am torn; as a wife and mother, I have chose-n a particular form, decided upon one direction for life. As a student, I am drawn to try and explore others.” This quote from an October, 1985 article in Ms. magazine is by student mother Constance C.R, White. Does her message sound familiar? Probably not. Of all the experiences UW students claim for their own, most have yet to ex~~erienc.e parenthood. Most. Not all. The University of Waterloo has its own share of full-time students who are also parents. As one UW student mother says, student parents often go unnoticed by other students. However, this invisible minority has its own set of important needs. Student parents face dual roles which present unique responsibilities and time constraints for them to deal with. Student parents vary according to marital status, school status, and sex. While the experience of each is unique, they share much in common. All have a greater than average need to organize their time, and to differentiate between time for school and time for family. The daily routine of student parents is fuller than that of other students. Each student mother interviewed for this article starts her day by preparing her child for a day at day-care, taking the child to day-care, and only then proceeding to put in a full day at school.

She attends classes, works at the Campus Shop, studies at the library and works on the computer until 4 p.m. Then she picks up her son, Andrew, from the Paintin’ Place day-care centre, The day doesn’t end there; Kathy Harvie, another single mother and Recreation student, spends until 1 in the morning on homework after putting her daughter, Nicole, to bed for the night. Pam Bailey, a Political Science graduate student, often spends her evenings at the library while her husband looks after their daughter, Sarah. All three mothers make a point of spending time with their child once their school day is over. Harvie spends
between
4 and
7 p.m.
with
Nicole, “doing all the fun things parents get to do.” The key to coping suctiessfully with such busy days is organization. Pam Bailey states, “The hardest thing, and most important thing, about being a student mother is being organized. I start my day making sure that my daughter is
organized for the babysitters.” The daily routine of a student parent is different if another parent is available to look after children at home, Malcolm Ross and Ron Seabrooke have combined marriage and fatherhood with university studies. Both feel that having at-home spouses who look after their children during the day helps them pursue their History degrees. Like the student mothers interviewed, these fathers have a “family-first” philosophy when organizing their time for school. 1 Ross, who is working on his second degree, has a more casual attitude toward university than he did when he was younger. When he goes home in the evening, Ross makes a point of spending all his time with his family rather than doing homework. His philosophy on his dual role as student and father is that school is like a full-time job. He tries to get to school early, and do most of his studying there, but sometimes must study at home. Like Ross, Seabrooke finds that his attitude toward school has changed. “I don’t worry about schoolwork nearly as much,” he explains. “Two years down the road, it won’t make a difference whether or not I’&e handed an essay in late.” Ross and Seabrooke cite starting their families before starting school, and co-ordinating school and parenthood at a later age as two further advantages they have over many other student parents. Both sympathize with anyone in their teens or early 20s who is trying to cope with both school and parenting at the same time. Bailey, conceding that there are sacrifices involved in being a student parent, wonders how single parents do it. I expected the single mothers I interviewed to be harried and worn-out; instead found the
calm, in control, and content with simultaneously being students and mot hers. Playford explains. “Everyone wants to know how I do it and I’m not sure that I know the answer! The fact that I never experienced having someone around to share housework or child care means that I don’t miss the support. I find that the busier you are, the easier it is. I am really involved in on-campus activities, and if I wasn’t I think I would get bored. I would spend more time with my son, but I’m not sure it would be quality time.” “Right now, when I do spend time with Andrew, I make sure that it is quality time,” she says. “We go to the park a lot, or go skating; Andrew likes to go shopping. We’re going to the circus in April.” Harvie finds that Nicole organizes her time for her, since the needs of her child always come
9:30 and 4, so everything else in my life happens then,” she says. “If my child is sick, school goes out the window so that I can be home with her. Fortunately, my professors are very understanding.” Being a parent makes a big impact on a student’s social life. “Parenthood is a huge change from when I was a student and not a mother,” says Bailey. “I am not as involved socially as I was before Sarah was born because now I stay at home in the evenings. There have been a few times when I’ve been asked to join fellow students after class and I couldn’t, However, a decreased social life is not something bothers me,” Playford doesn’t find a particular difference in the kind or amount of friends she has now that she is a parent. However, she has found that she goes out on fewer dates. “Guys often get the feeling that Andrew and I are a package deal,” she explains, “and I resent that.” For Harvie, motherhood has not made a difference in the amount of
friends she has, but rather in the amount she gets to see them. Since travelling with a child can be difficult, Harvie rarely sees out-oftown friends. As a result, the friends she sees most are the ones who are willing to come to see her. “The kinds of friends I have hasn’t really changed,” she comments. “For example, my friends now aren’t necessarily those with children of their own.” On-campus support for parents - or the lack thereof - is one main concern of student parents. Suzanne Desaulniers of the Women’s Centre states that at UW, there are no on-campus support groups specifically for student parents. “It seems to be seen as an individual thing,” states Desaulniers. “The attitude seems to be: You’re a parent; it’s your problem.” On th! other hand, certain groups are making room for student parents. The Health and Safety Centre does not provide services to children of students since it only serves and is equipped for student health needs. However, Linda Graham, a nurse at Health and Safety states, “Of course, if there was an emergency, a parent could bring their child to Health and Safety.” Graham added that diaper changing could also be done at the Health and Safety building. At the beginning of each term, the Federation of Students Women’s Commission invites students to put their names on a baby-sitting list which is then uset as a resource for student parents. Student executive and councillor positions are now more available t parents; in September, a policy change was passed giving any person attending Executive meetings day-care subsidization for the duration of that meeting. Playford often brings her son, Andrew, to her Recreation Student Association meetings. “The Ret students all know Andrew,” she says, “And if he get boisterous, they take turns playing with him i the hall.” Another problem often confronting student parents is when their child becomes iH while at day-care there is no way of contacting the parent while he or she is on campus. In an attempt to combat this problem, last year the University c Toronto Women’s Centre set up a service whereby they held onto tht schedules of student parents. If an emergency arose, the parents coulc be contacted right in class. The U\r Women’s Centre is now looking into setting up a similar system. Adequate day-care is a major issue confronting working and student
parents
today.
and
is some-
thing Playford, Bailey and Harvie have all had trouble finding. When Playford first lived in Waterloo with Andrew, the day-care centres associated with UW were full and she had to take her son to a day-care centre an hour-and-ahalf-long bus ride away.

“In the mornings, it took me three hours to get Andrew settled before I even started my day,” she recalls. Playford also took Andrew to Klemmer House, a day-care centre near UW located on Columbia Road. To access Klemmer House, there is only a gravel path between it and the Columbia Icefield which remains unplowed in the winter. This poses a problem for Playford and other parents who bring their children on foot. The long waiting lists at Klemmer House and Paintin’ Place attest to the need for more day-care support at UW. It took Playford a year and a half to get Andrew into Paintin’ Place. Klemmer House and Paintin’ Place both require children to be at least 18-months-old and toilet trained. Therefore, as Bailey points out, the biggest day-care need at UW now is for children w’ho are under 18 months. “People with children that age cannot place them in Klemmer House or Paintin’ Place, and have to turn to private day-care, which can be less reliable than day-care centres,” she explains. Harvie has also experienced trouble finding adequate day-care because, at fifteen months, Nicole is
“Finding a babysitter that will be consistent and long-term can be a problem,” says Harvie. “Right now Nicole is being looked after in a private home while I am at school,” In the fall, a new day-care centre for infants and toddlers will be opening on campus with about 20 spots available for children of students, faculty and staff of UW. Many now feel that the present day-care subsidization arrangement in Kitchener-Waterloo must be improved. Right now, married student parents and student parents who are working on their second OT graduate degree are. ineligible for municipally subsidized day-caFe. Only unmarried parents working on their first, undergraduate degree receive subsidization. As a graduate student, Bailey has no access to subsidized day-care. “Parents who do not receive funding have difficulty finding dependable or institutional day-care,” says Bailey. “This creates problems. For example, last Thursday, I had planned to be at school to finish a paper, but my babysitter cancelled and I had to stay home.” SEADS, Students for Equal Access to day-care Subsidization, is a joint UW-WLU lobby group which is trying to broaden student eligibility for day-care. The Women’s Commission is involved with this group.
Terry “Our requests to the municipal government to have subsidization extended have been turned down flatly for thks budget year,” explains Wendy Rinella, Women’s Commissioner. “Now, we are lobbying the next level up - the ministry of community and social services - to try to get some action.*’ In a committee report last year, the ministry of community and social services reported that there is much disparity in the degree of subsidization throughout province. This report recommended that municipal control of day-care subsidization be reduced from 20 per cent to five per cent, and that provincial control increase to 95 per cent. SEADS supports this change, as it would increase and equalize student access to day-care, and will appeal to John Sweeney,

Beyond the physical reali,ty of daily routines, friendships, and day-care lies the emotional reality of being a student parent. Con’ stance CR. White confronts this emotional reality in her article: “Most of all, I need a little rest,” she writes. “Raising a child is a crash course in reality. And for the young mother on campus, the problem is that of directing and shaping a child’s young life, while still in
shelter sometimes, but the difference is that I have to get up in the morning!“ Beyond the physical reality of daily routines, friendships and daycare lies the emotional reality of being a student parent. Bailey feels that the shaping and directing of life never ends: “You are always working toward some sort of change, although school is not as stable an activity to combine with motherhood as working or staying at home.” To Harvie, the evaluation that

Well not really, but the crowd did enjoy themselves. It was hard to tell who was more relaxed (or drunk) the band or the audience. But then it’s hard not to like a guy who drinks tequila - straight. So what I’m trying to say is: the band wasn’t bad, iva ‘em a look, get a Who knows, if you buy King Richard a tequila you’1 Ff probably friend for life.
Now I don’t know about you, but any band that comes on stage wearing tuques and hockey helmets (with cage and throat protector no less!) earns my unwavering respect before they even play a note. Yep, those nutty Dik Van Dykes from Steeltown made a shambles of The City’s swansong with hordes of slamming kids diving off the stage and even the banks of speakers (one particularly athletic dude even managing to take out a light bulb from the ceiling with his foot] to the bemusement of the band and the horror of The City’s management. But let’s get back to those Great White Northisms. The Dik Van Dykes must be the hippest thing to come out of Hamilton since Steeler Beer with songs like Curling (hey, it’s a helluva lot more exciting than ski ballet], Beachcombers, Harold Snepsts (how would you feel if your girl-

If the drummer looked like a member of the wedding party, then Jerry Jerry was the best man halfway through the reception. The rest of the band looked like the evil bikers that crashed the party to spread mayhem and the good Word of the Lord. Jerry Jerry prowled the stage, sex-god that he is, in search of creatures for his amusement. Cigarette and mike in one hand, an Export in the other J.J. provided his peculiar brand of blues/rockabilly/gospel/R&B music to a thirsty crowd of inbred mutant students and lowlifes February 24. But don’t think that the evening was an alcoholic haze of hedonistic abandon. Nay, Jerry Jerry and his dudes provided many thought-provoking morsels and concepts. They paraphrased Joyce and quoted the New York Dolls to help spread the Lord’s message and expose the evils of Socialism. But for much of the night “Technical Problems+’ was a demon that would not be exorcised. I don’t think they played two songs in a row, they continually had to stop and readjust something. Pacing wag another problem, they’d get the crowd stomping with a righteous groove then the next song would be a slow smoochie number, or they’d tell awful jokes. Despite this, J.J, provided mucho fun with some of their own fab sounds as well as some psycho covers of Deja Voodoo, Hasil Adkins, some gospel favorites and

Rock ‘rt Roll nights by Chris Imprint
Wodskou staff
Rock ‘n’ Roll Nights at The Bombshelter has always struck me as being something of a misnomer. I’d always sort of naively hoped I’d be hearing same rockabilly, ’60s garage-rock, or some fairly maximum rock ‘n’ roll by, oh, even som’e$&kallica or Suicidal Tenden@eoi&r something would be nice\fb a change. Any-
thing other than abyss of flatulent, pseudointellectual ’70s “progressive” rock or syrupy Billy Joel ballad% that make Anne Murray sound-like Wendy 0. Williams. The Research Monkeys show as part of last Saturday’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Night showed that there is another end to the spectrum of ’70s pop, somewhere beyond those interminable Rush guitar solos. Opening with The Velvet Underground’s Rock ‘I-I’ Roll not

only showed impeccable taste, but set a pretty high standard which the Monkeys managed to maintain through both sets. But with the blanket-term “‘70s pop”, I don’t want to give the impression that this is a band that does not play a wildly varied selection of material. Melodic rock-pop songs turned into jazz and’ fusion qK&n.$$ the tight rhythm section of drummer Ron Ruth and bassist Bob Lovitt and spiced .up with Greg Curtis’ (also lead vocalist and acoustic guitarist) sax runs and Cindy Martin’s husky scat-singing. And when you least expected it, there was the thrashy cover of Steve Miller’s The Joker [which Stevie “just played too slow”) and the novelty cover-hit of the year, I Got The Ruddho In Me - that would be a nod toward, er, Kiki Dee (yikes!]. Lotsa fun. Spotlight-grabber Dave Beckstead managed to be the centrs of attention, tradin.g in his Waiting Room bass for lead guitar/rock star fantasies on the wah pedal. A sort of post-Hendrix/Sly Stone guitar squawk that’s rarely been heard since the glory days of American Bandstand and love beads, this guy had a riot on stage without wanking around the full repertoire of groin-thrusting poses. This troupe of locals are more than just zany, eclectic musicians. The Research Monkeys are a musically accomplished band for whom playing live is fun and not a chore. Next time you see ‘em advertised, I’d be all over that venue like hair on a gorilla, if I were you.
Giant duck swallows arts guild by Rhonda Riche Imprint etaff Although most reviewers don’t consider student work worthy of criticism, I do, so let’s get to it, shall we? The Fine Arts Guild is presenting its biennial show of student work at the St, Jerome’s College Library from now until March 30. This presentation is particular14 interesting because it illustrates the least evident but most important parts of art; the development of theme and the progress of the artists themselves. The Guild show represents three phases of growth: in-class exercises, stylistic development and thematic development. Janet Tennes’ Milkweeds is a work that features shaped canvas as well as the introduction of tactile objects to the surface of the work, Both of these techniques are usually introduced to
students in the form of a problem, and Tennes’ work, instead of getting ‘round the problem, incorporates these devices subtly and naturally. This piece succeeds on both the compulsory technical figures as well as in artistic merit. If you saw the last guild show, you should remember Dave Ross’ Self Portrait. This term he is represented by the colossal The Day I Almost Drowned. It is interesting to compare the progression of the artist; the aggressive brushwork, forceful line are trademark but the shapes are swirling rather than linear and the colours more subdued, The most striking feature of his work remains the personal intensity; it is simply ferocious. The painting Untitled by Gary Ponzo too has that private touch but in a more ambiguous way+ It is a pictographic diary, but only the author knows what it really means. However, one is impressed by
the way the artist has dissecte.d, vivvisected, analysed and hung out for the world to see: his life. My favourite part of the show are the senior works. The fine arts students represented in this category are truly magical. My only complaint is that the fourth year honours students are only represented by two artists; sculptor James Bentley, and print maker Steve Van Mossel (whose Head of Q Damned Soul is just so gouged . I . I love itl). The third year students will just have to get all the glory. Holly Sneath’s Nocturne is neat, wonderful composition and delicate colour. Phil Vanderwall’s Narcissus series continues and there are two paintings fromj Ada Hunsbergers Fish Songs series. The best things about serial paintings is that they always develop truly strong images. Vanderwall’s paintings depict statuary and anatomical drawings. The

followed the same pattern of simple chords that grew more intense and interesting until they spent themselves. Bolan strapped himself to both acoustic and electric guitars; his playing, though never complex, was accurate and pleasing to the ear. Such accolades can also be given
Garden Bower was supposed to play, but did not inform anyone, least of all me, that the show was cancelled. As fate would have it, I wandered to the Huether brew pub and cried into my beer and chicken wings with a small group of supporting friends about being stood up by an entire band. Well, Garden Bower eventually did play: at the Huether Hotel, last Saturday night, The wait was worth it. Lead singer and guitarist Gord Bolan spent the evening hunched over his guitar in a paranoid manner, with his mouth often too close to the microphone, distorting his lyrics. Their was no need for the vocals to be so distorted; the opening band, Five Summers had crystal clear vocals. By the way, Five Summers put on a cool exhibition, showcasing their tight, three person, bass-oriented sound. Each of Garden Bower’s songs
to Paul Weiler on bass and to Kerri Hogg who played welltamed and non-dominating drums. The mood was conducive for a good show with the coffee house atmosphere and the ingrown local crowd. Garden Bower played a wide range of material; mostly their own but also the Man in Black’s Folsum Prison Blues and Roy Orbison’s Sand Man. They were joined by a whistler on Folsum and this gave them the only real stage presence they were to have. Garden Bower’s music took to the stage, not the band: at times it was possible to forget that there was a band playing, but at all times the music was heard and appreciated. Truly, it was music to talk by. The band seems to be able to get into their music, but not into their crowd. Oh well, there are enough audience indulgent bands out there,
mix of sculptural modelling and loose drawing, solid and sectioned is quite intriguing. Hunsberager’s paintings are vibrant and spiritual. The relation between fish, vessel and woman symbolizes spiritual communi-
cation and contact (y’know: fish, water, element vessel; satellite dish, communication; earth mother. . ,)

Manguel
by John Ryan Imprint staff Anthologist, translator, and journalist Albert0 Manguel read to an appreciative crowd at Siegfried Hall Wednesday afternoon. In his introductory remarks, he described himself as more of a reader than writer. He read selections from his first work of non-fiction, a novel in progress, News From A ForThe reading’s eign Country,
scenes ranged from a child’s drowning to a dinner party diacourses on immortality to that all-Canadian pastime of burning tent caterpillars. It sounded like it will be a nifty first novel. Credited with helping to steer Canadian tastes in new directions with his anthologies Dark Arrows and Black Water, Manguel won his audience over with his own attempt at CanLit immortality and his inimitable reading delivery.
by Anna Done Imprint staff Hot off the presses from Lester and Orpan Dennys Publishers is D.M.Thomaa’ much awaited novel Summit, the fourth and final novel in the Russian Quartet series. Unlike many other novel series, the previous books are not necessary reading to appreciate this one. Being of a different nature, it stands on its own as a complete work. The novel is a wonderfully dry parodic account of the RussianAmerican arms race, with the main characters being thinly disguised caricatures of Reagan and Gorbachev (called O’Reilly and Grobichov respectively). At the beginning of the story we are introduced to the American president, an ex-actor (sound familiar?), who is more than slightly senile and is being threatened with impeachment due to sexual indiscretions. To distract attention from this scandal he is advised to hold an American-Russian summit on the reduction of nuclear arms. The plot sounds completely feasible thus far, but complications arise when O’Reilly’s advisors mistake his grandsons’ video war game for a new defence strategy and label it the I.U.D. program. The hilarious misconceptions which occur after this are ingeniously developed. The book in general is an excellent, if only mildly exaggerated commentary on-<th,e American public and the influence that the media has on the
country. The allusion of the blind leading the blind is strong one in this story as D.M.Thomas gives us a comical insight into the perverse nature of politics and the people’ involved, from the first lady with a leather fetish to the incestuous relationship between the Russian leader

the despot spends too much time trying to record songs rather than trying to capture moods and fragmentary moments of inspiration. With the “spiritual assis tance” of insane reggae monster Lee Perry, Wooden Foot Cops on The Highway marks an attempt to assemble songs in a fashion which captures the essence of their live performance. In addition to the breakneckpace pop which has always been their bag, Wooden Foot displays a new-found pseudo-funk which they had begun to explore on their stop in Toronto a year ago. To this end Tackhead bassist
samples as building blocks of song structure, rather than as embellishments to an alreadyexisting song structure. In this way, he captures some of the emotion and chance collisions which make a Woodentops’ concert such an invigorating proposition - a careening, runaway Love Train summed up by Maybe it Won’t Lost (Maybe it won’t Iclst, but I don’t care). Wooden Foot Copa on The Highway is a giant leap beyond The Woodentops first LP - deranged hyper-adrenaline fun, which can still stop suddenly for a tender moment or two.

Follows shines in Stacking
Frantically speaking
by Andrew Imprint For all the hype and furor put forth by the makers of Frantic you would think a spectacular movie would be in the offing. One of the most popular leading men of the ‘808, Harrison Ford, stars in this jaunt through Parisian parking garages. He alone has enough drawing power to make this flick a modest success. With the likes of Roman Polanaki directing (no there are no little girls) and award-winning Ennio Morricone’s cotiposition of the sound track: rabid movie eaters will be anticipating a damn good celluloid romp.
Rehrge 8taff The supporting characters are all rather 8hallo% The viewer is aware of “who” everyone is but also that they are only walking cardboard figures attempting to give credibility to the story. The only shining “star” is newcomer Emmanualle Seigner. She brings her character forward with a bubble-gum believability. Seigner’s role as a rambunctious punker is one of the few saving graces of Frantic. The. careless energy of her character make her scenes on the screen rather enjoyable.
The truth is that all the hype for this pseudo-thriller is better than the film itself. Polanski has the opportunity to make this story into a nail-biting roller coaster ride of suspense and terror but instead he chose a far tamer route. Frantic is long and drawn out, Too much film and time is spent on unnecessary dialogue and panning scenes, The film and time wasted could have been used much more constructively to develop the plot with some depth. Morricone’s talents are wasted on a soundtrack that lingers in the air like fading smoke. It really does nothing for the film itself.
Ford unconvincingr -

The character development leaves far too much missing which the film is desperately in need of. Harrison Ford’s portrayal as Dr. Walker is not all too convincing. The story revolves around his character searching “frantically” through Paris for his missing wife. Unfortunately, the feeling that he really does love his wife ooooooohhhhh sooooo much is hard to believe. The little time Ford spends on screen with his wife, played by Betty Buckley, does not seem to be all that happy, Perhaps the character is one of those guys that just needs the security of knowing he actually does have a wife. Loosing his wife, or rather that safety, exposes himself to his own insecurities
by lohn Zacbariah Imprint staff The trials of growing up, with the attendant hassles of facing new responsibility, have always been grist for the movie-making mill. But there’s good and bad ways to film these things. How do you show the pain of lonliness, the ache of lust, the anxiety of adulthood intelligently and in some entertaining manner? A Night In The Life Of Jimmy Reardon and Stacking are. both instructive; the latter is a subtle, complex thing, an affecting story of bonding and betrayal told from Id-year-old Anna Mae Morgan’s (Megan Follows) point of view. The former is garbage, a pathetic career boost for its 1% year-old star, River Phoenix, who plays 17-year-old Jimmy Reardon, just graduated from high school and facing an uncertain future. This is a future which young Jimmy has grown into, though; Anna Mae’s has rushed up to meet her full throttle. The Morgans, Anna Mae plus mom and dad, live on a farm in Montana. When dad (Ray Baker] is wounded in an accident while trying to build a hay bale stacker, mom Kathleen (Christine Lahti) is forced to take a full time job in the town coffeeshop, leaving Anna Mae all alone. But not for long. While her mother slings coffee and pie and has a miserable time, Anna Mae enlists the aid of Buster McQuire (Frederic Forrest), part time labourer and full time slouch, in an effort to get the stacker in operating condition. They do, mainly through sheer force of will, and without Kathleen Morgan’s knowledge,
If Jimmy Reardon had Anna Mae’s problems, he’d cut his wrists. The oldest child of a nuclear family living in the Chicago suburb of Evanston, Jimmy’s main problem is that his gonads work him like a marionette; this kid will sleep with anybody. However, he seems to have some affection for his semi-steady, an uptight sweetie who wears her virginity on her sleeve and who is cutting out for Hawaii to
Frantic will achieve modest success, but when Polanski chooses not to take advantage of bathroom scenes similar to the one in Fatal Attraction the viewers are left unsatisfied in their macabre thirst for screams and implied violence. Those of you looking for chills will be disappointed by Frantic and those looking for a “nice” movie mightenjoy it.

When she sees the machine, which .Anna Mae hopes will make her heaps of cash, she’s mortified; with her husband in the hospital, Kathleen is convinced that the farm has been lost for good. All she wants to do is move, preferably to California. She’s restless and, for the first time in her life, realizes how tepid and predictable her smalltown life is. Meanwhile, Pa M&gan lays about in the boipital playing poker, oblivious to the needs of hjs ‘wife, or daughter. The tensions b&uebn the three finally snap, and in the fallout, Anna Mae learns some valuable lessons. As usual, Lahti is fantastic. Like John Lithgow, she reaps critical honours hand over fist, but remains horribly underused. Her portrayal of Kathleen Morgan is among her best work, as she plays the woman’s growing discontent against the loyalty she has for her familv. In scene after scene, Lahti exboses desperation, raw nerves, aching discontent. Stacking, though, is a triumph primarily for Follows, whose already-solid reputation (much deserved) will only be enhanced by her performance here. Completely convincing and a joy to watch, she depicts Anna Mae’s forced entry into adulthood with alarming compassion. In one of the picture’s most affecting scenes, a confused, abandoned Anna Mae is dragged from a dance by the drunken Buster. tn the parking lot, he accosts her, and at first, she resists. Suddenly, she embraces him passionately, her budding aexuality competing with her need for guidance and companionship. Follow.8 makes the change perfectly, yet another manifestation of how she has matured as an actress.

This is maturity? This is acceptance of responsibility? A Night In The Life Of JimmyReardon_ offers _ _its audience _ such a white bread resolution to what is one of the most complex problems we face, that the only reaction is slack-jawed disbelief, No volume of ridiculous plot cornplications could possibly prepare anyone for an ending as vile as this. Stacking, in contrast, offers no easy answers, and leaves Anna Mae’s future pretty much up in the air, But at least it’s indicated that she’s starting to develop the skills, needed to function as an adult. . Jimmy Reardon is dead in the water, and the movie which tells his story is foolish, dumb and irresponsible. But don’t worry about that. See Stocking, which plays tonight and tomorrow at Waterloo’s illustrious Princess Theatre. An unpolished gem, it is.

Staff
This could be~the longest week in Don McCrae’s basketball coaching career, After dropping the OUAA West championship game to the Western Mustangs last weekend at the PAC, all he and his Waterloo Warriors can do now is wait; Sunday (March 6) the CIAU wild card selectors will decide whether Waterloo’s season will continue at the CIAU championships in Halif -10. In addition ional division winn -card teams will be chosen from the top 10 to participate in the finaleight tournament. Before last weekend, UW looked like a shooin for a wild card if needed. But after the release of Monday’s revised top 10, things are looking a little glum. The Warriors were dropped from number four to number eight after last weekend’s playoffs. The problem is this: the U of T Blues, who were upset by Carleton in the East final, are ranked number six. As if that isn’t bad enough, the Victoria Vikings (number three] and the Saskatchewan Huskies (number four) play each other in the Far West final. Logically, Toronto and the loser of the Far West series would hold the advantage. But McCrae can seek solace in the fact that the wild-card selectors often defy common logic. “We like our chances, it’s practice as usual for us this week,” said McCrae after Saturday’s setback. “We’re not going to rant and rave about it if we don’t get it - there’s been a notoriety of

some weird picks. But if they pick us, we’re going to brag because we feel we belong there.” The OUAA West championships featured the weird, the wild and the wonderful, and most of it before a crowd of close to 4,000 at the PAC. In Saturday’s championship game, Western bowled over Waterloo, 74-59. Friday night, the Mustangs trounced the Windsor Lancers, 117-97, while the Warriors edged the Brock Badgers, 79-73 in an overtime epic.
Stisf’ was the star The star of the weekend was Western’s 6’6” sophomore forward John Stiefelmeyer. In the two games, he amassed 63 points, 21 rebounds and shot a blistering 73 per cent from the floor and 17-of-19 from the foul line. The only two questions which remain are: why isn’t he playing in the U.S.? and, can he get any better? Answering the latter, Mustang coach Don Hayes replied, “He’s hit a plateau, and next he’ll go up to another plateau, and he’ll continue to go up to higher plateaus. He was just phenomenal this weekend.” Stiefelmeyer was a streetcar named unstoppable against the Lancers on Friday night. In a wild, foul ridden affair, he poured in 33 points and snatched 14 rebounds. But the story of the night was Windsor’s unique defensive concept: foul at will. Between 12 players (some of whom didn’t play much) the Lancers racked u,p 41 personal fouls, sending the Mustangs to the charity stripe a

whopping 50 times. Western potted 39 from the foul line, led by Stiefelmeyer’s 13-of-14. Hayes summed up this match best when he said, “that was a crazy game. ” Enough said. Lancer coach Dot Thomas can thank the skies guard Matt St,Louis showed up to play none of his other players did, St.Louis was a one-man wrecking crew, potting 36 points including four three-point cannons. The play was wide-open and ridiculous, just how Windsor likes it, but only St.Louis eujoyed the feast. The Mustangs led 58-47 after a psychotic first half, but St.Louis’ second half shooting clinic pulled the Lancers within five at one point. But Western was too hot to be stopped. The ‘Stangs shot a scintillating 73 per cent from the floor in addition to the 39 points from the foul stripe. Well balanced scoring helped too Terry Thomson hooped 21, Dave Omerod 19 plus two others in double figures.

Having polished off the Lancers with ease, the ‘Stangs kicked back to witness a classic. The Waterloo-Brock game was the type of barn-burner grandfathers reminisce about from their easy chairs on the front porch with a Black Label. Try this for tension. Waterloo led by seven with 10 minutes left in regulation - the biggest lead of the night. But the upstart Badgers scrapped back, and with 6:19 left on the clock, it was 56-56. The next 11:19 was enough to promote hair loss, The teams traded baskets, and it was 60-60 with three minutes left. With more than 3,000 fans on their feet, the teams grappled to a stalemate for the next two minutes. Finally, with 48 ticks left, Brock’s Frank Carpretta hit two free throws to make it 62-60. Next trip down the floor, Tom Schneider’s trey attempt thudded off the iron, and it looked like an early spring for Waterloo. But with 36 seconds left, Brock’s Kevin Moore missed the front end of a one-and-one UW was breathing again. With 24 seconds left, little dynamo Jerry Nolfi drained a threepoint missile to send the PAC into pandemonium - 63-62, UW. Shortly after, Rob Froese meshed two free throws to make it 65-02, and things looked safe. That’s when lightning struck from above, As the buzzer wailed ending the game and apparently Brock’s season, guard Mark Gilbert heaved up a 409foot prayer from centre court which deflected off the backboard and in to send it into overtime. The drama continued into overtime as it was tied 71-71 with

maining. Froese canned a jumper from the corner to make it 73-71 - that’s when controversy took over. With UW leading 75-73 and nine seconds remaining+ Brock coach Garney Henley called for a timeout. One problem - he didn’t have any left. Brock was nabbed for a technical foul, and
Froese hit both foul shots to ice it for Waterloo. That’s when the fireworks started. “We’re protesting this game,” said a distraught Henley afterwards. “I asked the scorekeeper how many timeouts we had left and she said ‘one’. Now she’s denying she said it, but I told convener Rich Newbrough.we’re protesting. But I suppose nothing will be done now.” He was right - the score stood. Froese, suffering from the flu, scored 26 points (U&of-10 from the line). Schneider, who injured his knee in the game, added 19 including four treys. Jamie McNeill, logging 43 minutes on the court, scored 10 and grabbed 12 boards& The Warriors bottleknecked Brock’s ominous front court, pummelling them in the rebounding department, 48-33. In fact, small guard Carpretta led Brock with 17 points. Moore hooped 16, but only four after halftime while Gilbert counted 14. Forwards MO Willoughby and Kelly Grace both scored 10. Brock shot a gloomy 41 per cent from the floor. Although the Warriors _shut down Brock’s big men, the scrappy Badgers wouldn’t bend, Waterloo steamrolled to a 18-12 in the first half, thanks to three howitzers by three-point Schneider. The Badgers sent an ultimatum shortly afterward, reeling off the next 10 points to quickly lead 22-19. After that, it was a struggle for the rest of regulation time. Brock took a 35-33 lead to the dressing room at the half. “We’re really disappointed,” said a subdued Henley outside of an emotional dressing room. “We played well enough to win, it’s just one of those things you hate to see happen.” With regards to Gilbert’s divine hoop, Henley commented, “You always hope for a little momentum, but turnovers hurt us
in overtime.” Afterward, McCrae expressed concern about fatigue, especially Froese’s flu and Shneider’s knee. Fifteen hours later, Waterloo was back on the floor against the fresher Mustangs.
Sluggish Warriors
fell
On Saturday afternoon, it was obvious that Friday’s nailbiter had taken its toll on the Warriors. Appearing sluggish, they put up a fight but succumbed to the stronger Mustangs. “We were gassed,” admitted McCrae. “It showed in the effort areas. A lot of times we couldn’t finish off our plays. It was a combination of their great defence and our thin edge of reserve.” Western’s Berlin Wall defence quelled Waterloo’s offensive attack. The Big Three, Froese, Schneider and McNeil1 were held to 16, 2 and 13 points respectively. “They did a great job on our big three players - they took them down a couple of notches,” said McCrae. Nolfi, in a tireless effort, was Waterloo’s best performer with 13. lohn Bilawey was tough as steel on defence and added nine points. The Warriors were colder than Antarctica from the floor 35 per cent. Stiefelmeyer tore Waterloo’s defence to shreds - 28 points, 86 per cent from the field and seven rebounds.

B-Ball continued from pagd ze The Mustangs sealed it with eight minutes in the second half, and the catalyst was, who else, Stiefelmeyer. Leading 39-32 at the half, the ‘Stangs came out smoking in the second. They quickly quieted the PAC crowd as they built a 53-36 lead five minutes into the second. Around the midway point of the half, the Warriors gave it one last surge, ,and almost pulled it off. Powered by a series of Froese drives, UW went on a 123 run to pull within six. With the crowd worked into a frenzy, you could almost hear ABC’s Al Michaels utter, “DO you believe in miracles?” Until Stiefelmeyer struck. With the score 54-48, the wonder-kid stole the ball on defence and drove in unmolested for a thunderous jam. After that the dominoes fell quick and hard for Waterloo. The Warriors played some gutsy defence but got no closer than nine the rest of the way. Asked if the boisterous, partisan crowd affected his team, Hayes responded, “there’s a certain stigma about playing here. In fact, if you ask the guys, they were excited about playing here. Our overtime win here two weeks ago was a confidence builder.” The Warriors never led all day, and fell behind 21-13 10 minutes after the tip-off. Nolfi permitted UW to creep back into it with two treys, but 25-23 was as close as it got the rest of the day. Western’s defence was so tough, it took Froese 16 minutes to score his first basket. The Warriors were hammered under the glass - Western outrebounded them, 32-19. So while Hayes and the Mu?tangs practice this week in prep-? aration for Halifax, McCrae’s Warriors can only hope this week’s workouts won’t be for naught. Sunday’s verdict will determine that.
I’ll take that, thank you

V-ball Warriors survive by Refton Blair Imprint staff The Waterloo Warriors Varsity program took it on the chin, hands, and sticks last weekend to teams wearing the purple and white uniforms of the University of Western Ontario. The only team which did not experience this fate was the volleyball Warriors, who just happened to be playing the Laurier Golden Hawks in the PAC This weekend in the finals of the OUAA West the purple jinx will once again come-a-calling and the volleyball Warriors will have to prove that they can overcome it and get to the OUAA championship game, The jinx seem to be working most1 “tip Waterloo territory with the B, AC being the scene of the m&t f& cent blow. Yet the voll&++lJ team believes they are a better team against Western in the PAC. Playing before a sparsely populated gym last weekend, the yarriors .excruciatingly overpowered the Golden Hawks in four very long sets, all lasting more than 22 minutes. The Hawks should have been unworthy challengers to the Warriors’ division leading team, but they came out determined to play and flirted with “above average play” at times, causing the Warriors to work up a sweat in posting their semi-finals victory. “This shouldn’t take more than 45 minutes, I am on a schedule, I should be able to get to Fed Hall by eight,” said the Warriors most vocal and knowledgeable fan,
Ray Chin. This seniment was shared by anyone in the know on Warriors volleyball. Chin like most diehard fans did not get to Fed Hall on time as the game took one hour and 41 minutes to play ending at 857 p.m. There were few mysteries regarding the games’eventual outcome, but the biggest secret on Saturday night was the handshake used bp Warrior captain Vince Deschamps whenever he was been re lace by Brian Damman, But al P superstition aside, the Warriors were really “flat”, in the words of coach Rob Atkinson. The first set was a typical Waterloo.aff& as they easily beat the 4Hawks 15;7. In the second set the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead an& had :to rally from a 3-6 deditit. The rally was led by the service of Steve Smith, who brought the Warriors to within 5-i, then on the service of Steve Heck, Tony Martins, and Jim McKinnon the Warriors stalled the Hawks and won going away by a score of 15-8. .

With his entire starting lineup standing on the sidelines, coach Atkinson chose to “light a fire under his starters” by leaving the reserves in to finish the game. They eventually lost 14-16, In the much unexpected and merciless fourth set, the now seemingly glowing Warriors starter came out and blew ;iway the Hawks 115-3. Every starter with the exception of captain Vince Deschamps played the entire game. They were so merciless that the Hawks were only able to get close at 3-2 and were from that point on never in the game. The final set was a display of force by the Warriors as they hit bullet-like spikes and kills at the Laurier players.

Western bounces Warriors in two straight by Mike McGraw Imprint staff Another successful season of Waterloo Warriors hockey has ended in two quick playoff games. The Western Mustangs drubbed the Warriors Sunday afternoon at Columbia Icefield, 7-3, to win their best-of-3 OUAA Central division semi-final in game one at home, 5-3. After the game, disappointed Warriors coach Don McKee philosophized about his second consecutive abrupt exit from post-season play. “We put together a fine year, but in our division you burn yourself out just getting to the playoffs,” said McKee. “We don’t have the superstars the other teams do, so we always have to work hard and we can never let up. You’ve also got to remember that they were o@ng off a dead t “‘etik). Our guys week (readi were writin 3 Ft&‘d-terms, we ended up practicing with half a team every night.” But on the ice, it was Western’s lethal line of Mike Tomlak, Scott Tottle, and Darren Cholod which banished Waterloo to the golf course. Sunday afternoon, this answer to the Soviets’ KLM line accounted for six goals. Tomlak netted three, Cholod two and Tottle a single marker. On defence, this powerful trio shut down Waterloo’s big line of Steve Linseman, Dan Tsandelis, and Chris Glover. “That line outplayed our big line,” killed
said us.”
McKee,

Things took an ugly twist for Waterloo late in the second period. With 3:28 left in the stanza, UW’s Steve Girardi tipped in a pass from Linseman to close the Western lead to 4-3. But shortly after, the Warriors were tagged with a costly too many men on the ice penalty, giving the ‘Stangs a powerplay opportunity. At l&16, Phil Carter cashed in for Western from a scramble to make it 5-3. “That was a bad penalty, everyone knew who they were replacing, but one guy made a mistake,” explained McKee. The worst was yet to come. With less than 30 seconds remaining, UW’s Jamie McKee and John Dietrich broke in on a Z-on1. McKee slid the puck under goalie Mike James, leaving nothing but air between the puck and the net. With the net staring him in the face, Dietrich fired wide to miss what would have been a big goal. In a chippy opening period with an abundance of stick work, the Mustangs struck first. With a d-on-3 advantage, Tomlak capitalized when UW goalie Mike Bishop dove and missed a bouncing puck. The Warriors got on the scoreboard at 13:~ when Andrew Smith swooped in to convert a pass from McKee on a delayed penalty call. Just over four minutes later, Waterloo went ahead 2-1 on a nifty goal by David Long. Todd Coulter threaded the needle with a goalmouth pass which Long directed past James to give UW the lead at intermission. Western out-shot the Warriors, 10-5 in the first. Western erupted for four goals
in the second period. Tomlak was cherry picking in the crease when he tied it early in the frame as he banged a rebound past a helpless Bishop. The ‘Stangs pulled in front at lo:09 when Tottle lifted a shot from close in over Bishop. The other linemate, Cholod, counted a marker at 15:48 from a tip-in beside the crease to give Western a 4-2 bulge. The Warriors had their chances, but James made a series of sparkling saves. In a sudden spurt, he stoned John Goodman and Linseman on breakaways, ‘and stymied Steve Balas and Tsandelis from close in.
The bone rattling action continued all day, and often threatened to get out of hand. Referee Cliff Gauthier dished out 41 penalty minutes to Western and 56 minutes to Waterloo, Coach McKee was critical of Gauthier’s officiating, commenting,” he really frustrated our guys. We got pulled down in front of their goal and heturned his back on it.” The Warriors came out in the third desperately needing a goal. Waterloo had a five-minute powerplay, but couldn’t capitalize, as Western’s search and destroy defence stood tall. A free for all almost broke out late in the
riod as Glover and Western’s Warren Bullock skirmished and Peter Jeffery took a run at Linseman. With 4~23 remaining, McKee gambled and pulled Bishop for an extra attacker giving UW a d-on-3 edge. The plan blew up in his face, as 12 seconds later, Tomlak scored into the empty net to ice it for Western. Two minutes later, Cholod tallied into the still vacated cage to round out the scoring. “We knew we had to go for the four on three,” said McKee of his daring move. The Warriors were out-shot

Volunteers needed The University of Waterloo’s volunteer committee is in dire need of volunteers to contribute their time toward the various activities taking place throughout the campus this term. No burdening commitment is required: students can work as often as desired. The committee attempts to pair activities with volunteers’ interests, Thus any job offered can be refused if circumstances are inapprop-
riate. Volunteering provides students with the opportunity to meet people and have fun. On the more constructive side, it gives leadership experience and helpful resume bolstering. Aid is urgently required as early as March 12 at the lifeguard tournameqt. Students are encouraged to register during weekday hours at the PAC Red North receptionist desk.

1Meikle races to two records 1 REMEMBER... by Kevin
Shoom
Paul Meikle wrote his name in the Waterloo record books, not once, but twice February 26. Racing at the U of ‘I’ Last Chance meet, Meikle set school records in both the 60 mefre and 3OOm races. Meikle took fourth in the 60m with a time of 7.10 seconds. The old record of 7.13 was set by John Denny last year. Paul earlier went 7.16 in winning his heat. His strength was especially apparent in the 300m, though, when he powered to victory in his section [second overall] in 35.76.
Sprint coach John Clayton said of Meikle’s Born race, “I was expecting a personal best, but not of the magnitude (6/100 of a second) that he did.” As for Meikle’s 1.5-second PB in the 30Om, Coach Clayton was speechless. Meikle has his work cut out for him this weekend at the OUAA/OWIAA championships, though. He is among the top six in the province over both distances, but only the top two qualify for the CIAU championships. Also peaking for the OUs is Scott MacLellan. Despite an illness which kept him out of action for several weeks, the rookie ran through, around, and over the field on his way to second in the 1000m. His time of 2:28.96, a personal best, is among the fastest in Ontario this season, The performances of Kevin Shields and Shamir Jamal were - encouraging, too. In an 800m time trial held to choose the remainder of the 4x800 relay team - MacLellan and Harvey Mitro were preselected Shields kicked to victory and Jamal gamely took second in their best
races so far this season. Both ran a swift 1:58. Dwaine Hirtle and Peter Papp, who will join with Meikle as UW’s 60m team, were second and fourth in their heats in 7.28 and 7.48 respectively. Reg Russwurm, the alternate, had his finest performance of the year as he ran 7.60 for fifth, and Martha de Gannes was similarly pleased with a third-in-heat 8.70. Pat Kirkham was second in his 300m section, running 37.41, Kelly McHale and Sheri Emery were third and fourth in the women’s 300m. McHale ran 46.36 and Emery finished in 48.09. A thorough inspection of what the finish line looks like should help them to stronger finishes at the OWIAAs. Derek King placed fourth in a fast 600m field, as he stopped the clock in 1:2$3&. Two Athenas ,*.

were in the 10OOm: Lisa Laffradi and Marielle Rowan. Rowan took third in her section in 3:12.29, one place behind freshman Laffradi who ran 3:11.95.
