Laurel Creek crisis continues

by Marc Brzustowski Imprint etaff

,

If Laurel Creek Conservation Area is to remain intact, the City of Waterloo must “live up better to the concept of conservation,” according to Biology Professor Bryce Kendrick. Despite opposition from residents living near the conservation area, the site remains on the list of locations to be considered by the city for its planned sports park.

A consultant’s master plan for parks in Waterloo set the conservation area aside as the preferred site for a sports park consisting of baseball, soccer, and cricket facilities, The area now stands as one of three locations for future consideration, two others having been proposed by the residents’group opposed to the original plan.

The alternate locations would require the city to buy back industrial land sold to the Magna corpdration, or to build a sports park in conjunction with the University of Waterloo on its north campus holdings near the conservation area.

Trevor Hathaway, of the Concerned Citizens for Conservation, said the group’5 goal is to take the conservation area off the list of proposed sites and see that it is not used as a sports Dark: “it 5erves its purpose. *

c

Opportunities

Leave it alone.” The report that called for the sports park’s creation also listed, by priority, 35 outdoor activities, The top five activities are already offered at Laurel Creek. The proposed new activities - baseball, soccer, and cricket -ranked between 17 and 34.

Though the proposed park would have used only ‘60 of the conservation area'5 500 acres of land, Kendrick insisted an area set aside and called a conservation area should be left that way.

Referring to the wildlife that

makes the conservation area its home, he said “perhaps we 5ee the survival of these organisms as a symbol of our own survival.”

Tom Litwiller, co-chairperson of the city study team looking at the park plan, said it would be “quite unlikely we will choose that spot based on public input we have had.” According to Litwiller, “the issue’ is dead.”

Dead it may be, but the CCC will continue- to collect signatures until the nails are in the coffin.

This ferocious-mannered model gets down at this year’s Fine Arts Union fashion show held Wednesday at Fed Hall.

Foreign students get policy change A change to the federal government’s foreign student policy has greatly increased employment opportunities for holders of student visas.

The policy change, announced last week by Employment and Immigration minister Benoit Bouchard, expands the conditions under which foreign students are permitted to work.

“Canada has long welcomed international students and we recognize the economic, academic, and social contributions these students make to our country,” Bouchard said. “These measures will go even further to see that Canada continues to attract foreign students from around the world.”

mitted to accept any employment on-campus, and work up to 12 months after graduation in any position related to their field of study. In addition, spouses of foreign students will be permitted to accept any employment .whatsoever,

TWIST AND SHOUT

Previously, foreign students were only permitted to work as research assistants, with exceptions made for students whose funding was cut off by their home country because of internal strife, and students whose work experience is deemed essential to their education. Students wishing to accept other positions were required to have their jobs validated, a process that requires the employer to advertise the job for six months in an effort to find a qualified Canadian for the position.

Eric Choi, chairman of the Federation of Students’ International Students Board, called the new policy “a good step forward for attracting more foreign students into Canada.” He suggests that increased employment opportunities will help the student and

Because of the language problem, Choi said, the student and spouse are often excluded from Canadian society, Now, “opportunity is being opened for them instead of slamming the door.”

The silly season

by Robert Day And this week, with a complete lack of any coherent theme whatsoever, ramblings gleaned from various sources which prove, quite conclusively, that there is no such thing as the silly season - it happens all year long.

Dec. 1980: The skin magazine Oui states that “when researchers put pictures of naked women on the backs of ESP cards the percentage of hits improved dramatically.” Scores are apparently not the only thing going up.

1982: Spiritualist Curtis Walker, in an attempt to alleviate the loss of Idaho crops due to hungry rabbits, is prepared to cast all rabbits out of the state. So far Walker claims only the power to make small animals (such as mice and silkworms] disappear, but he fully expects to kill all rabbits in the state within 24 hours. When told that some of these rabbits are family pets, he replies, “sometimes things like this happen which just can’t be helped.”

Bible-Science Newsletter, 1983:The Rev. Walter Lang responds td criticism that the alleged human footprints found intermixed with dinosaur prints in Texas are false simply because they are too large by stating that, before the Flood, people lived longer and therefore had more time to grow big feet. When critics point out that the stride suggested by the footprints is too uneven, Lang counters that- this is to be expected from people with big feet “attempting to outrun both the flood waters and the dinosaurs.”

2984: Executives of the world-wide Transcendental Meditation organization announce plans to bring 7,000 TMers to New Mexico and make the state the meditation capital of the world, Albuquerque police chief E.L. Hansen, when asked whether police officers will be enrolled in the program, responds, “We have no funds allocated for levitation.”

1985: Medium Bill Bdyd of Kansas City advertises fortune-telling, aura analysis and past-lives regression - for teddy bears. In one instance, Boyd recounts the case history of one bear who was found to have been a stuffed dog in a previous incarnation.

1985: The American Astrological Association of Canton, Ohio descends to a new low in direct-mail solicitation. Lucky recipients who have already supplied their exact time and place of birth receive an “Emergency Notification Memo” with half of a Lucky Number Horoscope, stating that the horoscope reveals opportunities for “extraordinary luck, love, wealth and happiness.” To obtain the rest of the horoscope,, simply send$lo.!K Denver, 1986: A woman is excused from jury duty on the grounds that she is psychic and knows beforehand what the verdict is going to be. As reported by Associated Press, Lynette Todd ad-

mitted that she could not base her verdict solely on the evidence since she already knew whether the defendant was guilty.

1987: Columnist Abigail van Buren (“Dear Abby”) receives a letter from a man who has been swindled out of $3,600, and subsequently called a psychic who had advertised that he could foretell the future and solve one’s problems. The psychic claimed he could get the man’s money back if the man sent him $400 immediately. Mercifully, van Buren tells the poor sap to save his money.

2987: Ex-TMer Robert Kropinski is awarded $138,000 in his suit against the TM movement, ‘having claimed that TM caused him “headaches, anxiety, impulses toward violence, hallucinations, confusion, loss of memory, screaming fits, lack of focus, paranoia, social withdrawal.” Kropinski also claims damages since he had not yet learned to fly as promised. Nothing is said about how much of the award is compensation for Kropinski’s lack of levitation.

Newsday, 1987: When actress and cosmic flake Shirley Maclaine is asked why she charges the exorbitant fee of $300 for her “Connecting With the Higher Self’ seminars, she’ responds that, “I decided to charge $100 for mind, $100 for body and $100 for spirit.” After all, she says, “It’s karmically unbalanced to do something for nothing.“’ One gets the unfortunate image here of all hardworking volunteers, becoming increasingly unbalanced until they just topple over from lack of symmetry. r Nov, 1982: Astrologer Lynn Gladhill, in accepting a challenge from magician-debunker James Randi, explains that, “My primary reason behind my efforts in proving my claims to a modicum of what I refer to as sensitivity (to avoid the usual plethora of esqteric jargon and the semantic pratfalls that usually ensue with it] is not to render some overall blanket endorsement of the realm of metaphysics . . . blah- blah blah”. Semantic pratfalls aside, Gladhill is a dismal flop.

Gladhill’s evisceration of the English language may well have been inspired by an equally disastrous performance in 1978 by Toronto psychic Geraldine ‘Smith, who rationalized her abysmal. performance on the TV program “Point Blank” with, “The thing is that, to me, in a reading, means quick removal from a situation, which means either leaving this place, leaving the country quick removal . . . The thing that I take a little bit further down the line is, my readings, as much as many things, can be applied to many people.

Aren’t there a lot of similarities in 1ifeP”A desperate search begins for a translator.

These will include: improvements to book search ability, addition of printer capability, area limited searches (such as books in St. Jerome’s library only), and a message service, ’

This together with the fact that the overheads are always available in my office for consultation has suggested that there is not a great need for the overheads to be copied and placed on reserve in the Library.

Queation: What doee it mean when two operators do not commute?

T&Dr. Mik Pintar - Physics Signed: 4th year Physics class Answer= If two operators do not commute they cannot share a common eigenstate.

Consequently, the associated observables cannot have sharp values (eigenvalues) simultaneously.

Two such operators are position and momentum of a small object.

Since they do not commute we cannot know, as a matter of principle, both sharply. Instead either the momentum or the position observation, or both, are ambiguous. Is this clear? I hope it is not perfectly clear since, I was told, the operators for truth and clarity do not commute.

Answer: The feedback that I have received from students in previous years indicates that the lectures are appropriately paced to allow adequate note taking

Fightto,Stay

by Mike Brown Imprint staff An English teacher at Victoria Public School in Kitchener has taken up the plight of one of her students.

Twenty-year-old Marco Escoto is instructed in English by Patti Polfus. He came to Canada leaving a history of beatings,’ and military servitude behind him in Honduras.

In 1986, he was refused refugee status. According to Escoto’s English teacher, the Canadian review board ignored the Honduran’s accounts of beatings.

Escoto appealed the initial refusal by the Canadian government but was aRain turned down. On November 4, 1987 he underwent the final level of appeal available. The result of the federal appeal is expected this month.

Polfus explained Escoto was allowed to leave the Honduras freely; however, she said the army warned Escoto with th,reats of causing his disappear-

ance if he returns.

Louise Down, who is a member of the staff for Gerry Weiner, the Minister of State for Immigration, cited that persecution on the grounds of religion, race, sex, or politics is necessary for an applicant to be considered as a refugee in Canada. Hondurans are not generally recognized by Canada as having automatic refugee status.

Polfus told Imprint Marco testified he had not been beaten or tortured based on the criteria laid out by Canadian immigration authorities. Escoto suffered because of his refusal to serve in the Honduran military. After two appeals, the government of Canada has not recognized his motives for wishing not to return to his country.

In October, 1987, Escoto was given an exclusion notice by the Canadian government proving Canada is perfectly willing to send him back to Honduras. Polfus took up Escoto’s cause after he received his October exclusion notice; he started taking English classes at Victoria Pub-

Despite rumours to ran army experienced which be- the contrary, a friend informed him some “of his fellow conscripts were involved in fighting near the Nicaraguan border.

Before Escoto was released from the army a second time, “he was told his name was on a list.”

He elaborated, saying the list is a well known type of blacklisting.

After his release Escoto came to Canada. “I think I was lucky to leave,” he said.

“If I go back there, I don’t think I will stay alive for long,” he said. He is afraid of death squads.

Although Escoto has not been contacted by Honduran officials since he has been in Canada, he does call his parents on the telephone. His parents have been approached by the Honduran army several times asking about his whereabouts, Escoto said. &cording to Polfus, church Marco Escoto has been refused refugee status twice.

Five third-year UW Architecture students witnessed more than just the sprawling cityscape of Chicago during a fiveday school field trip to the American city.

While crossing a Michigan Avenue bridge over the Chicago river on March 1, Waterloo student John Willmott spotted a body floating in the water.

Willmott said he and two other people who happened to be on the bridge saw an object which “looked suspicious”. After a few moments, the three realized the “floater” was a person.

The authorities were notified immediately when a courier riding a bicycle was asked by Willmott and the two other spotters to use his two-way raldio to get word to the onlice.

Fire, police and ambulance personnel arrived immediately, Willmott said. In the mean time, a sizable lunch hour crowd had gathered on the bi-level bridge.

Four other UW students came along later and also witnessed the spectacle of the crowded streets and jammed banks of the river. Willmott commented, “I don’t ihink there’s been a crowd on Michigan Avenue like that since the Bears won the Super Bowl.”

The body had to be secured with a grappling-type hook. A Chicago police man guided the unidentified man to the river bank by walking across the bridge with the fastened rope,

Fighting for equlity in the third ,world’

by Jacquie Griffin Imprint staff “Women are half the world’s adult population; they comprise one-third of the paid labour force, and they actually perform two-thirds of the world’s working hours. For this, they earn one-tenth of the world’s income, but they own only one per cent of the world’s property,” according to a United Nations’ report. This situation is at its worst in third world countries, and was the subject of discussion at the Humanities Theatre on Wednesday.

As part of International Women’s Week, a panel discussion was held on the issue of women and international development.

The panel group included representatives from the university, as well as CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency).

The issue of women and development began to take its root in the early seventies, It became a major focus in 1975 when the UN declared the international decade for women. With the increased realization of women’s major contribution to the global economy, it was felt that greater investigation was needed to tackle the existing imbalances.

It is also important to note that

women make up 600 million of

the 800 million illiterates of the world. Of equal relevance is the fact that-one-third of the world’s households are headed by females, and these same households remain in the lower half of the poverty scale in all societies.

Domestic duties+ which have long been a debate in developed countries, also become a more critical concern in underdeveloped and developing countries.

Along with farming the family’s food, a women also produces the meals, childcare, clothing, and is most responsible for the family’s daily survival. Despite this immense contribution, in no society are women granted any economic benefits in official terms in regards to domestic duties, Some of the reasons for this were addressed by the panel. All felt existing cultural and social values were of primary importance, These in turn affect the modes of advancement for women such as education.

Nicole Rolland of UW’s French Department described her experiences in Peru where she participated in an international exchange that tackled the problem on a “grass roots” level. The focus appeared to be on raising

women .and redirecting their own perceptions of themselves.

Workshops were held in various Peruviali. villages to create greater awareness of their rights as women on a personal and legal level.

In many situations, there is a lack of knowledge of alternatives, she said. Rolland gave the example of women in this culture who, upon beginning their menstrual cycle, are often banned from further attending school. This is simply a reflection of a cultural attitude which fosters a negative attitude to normal female development, and an abnormal fear of pregnancy, thus stripping women of the opportunity to fully educate themselves. Rolland said women must be made aware of their choices if they are to advance their situation any further, Also on the panel was Dr. Neerja Sharma, who helps operate an extensive literacy program out of an eduL&on centre in Bophal, India. In that country, only 15.3 per cent of women are literate, while that number among men is much higher. This is another problem which is virtually universal.

Sharma seesthis difference as a very important factor regarding the participation of women in development. This point was carried further by Dr. Howard Woodhouse an academic advisor at Waterloo.

Woodhouse spent several years at the University of Calabar in Nigeria. While there, he conducted a number of studies into the lack of educational

Breast and testicular self-examinations There has been a wealth of information published in recent years on the benefits of breast self-examination for women: that is, a breast examination that women can perform on themselves in the privacy of their own homes. Still, however, there are women who do not know how to go about it or are not concerned enough about the risk involved if a lump in their breast is not detected early. What is also astounding is that many males have never thought of the importance of self-examination of the testicles.

Self-examination is of the most successful ways of lump detection in testicle and breast tissue. The reasons include the fact that people are more aware of their own bodies and with self-examination, if an abnormality or lump exists, it is more likely to be found early and to be taken seriously. Also individuals-spend more time with their own bodies than anyone else, and the likelihood of finding something out of the ordinary, should it exist, increase with the amount of time spent looking.

Doctors agree that if more people performed self-examination monthly, the risk of cancer spreading and requiring cancer treatment would be decreased. When lumps are found early, a simple biopsy (tissue analysis) can be performed and immediate action can be taken: the longer the lump has to develop, the more likely the chance that, if it is some form of cancer, it will have been able to spread to other parts of the body or will have been able to grow enough to warrant a breast removal or removal of the testicle.

Although many men may not realize it, the fact remains that testicular cancer and abnormality does exist: the incidence of cancer in testicles is shown to have an even higher relationship in men with undescended testicles. A regular monthly self-examination of the testicles is recommended, especially in men aged 18-35, who are at the greatest risk for testicular cancer.

Information is available from: your doctor, the Canadian Cancer Society - 886-8888, the Cancer Information Service (for Ontario) - l-800-283-6750. Pamphlets are available which show how to go about both testicle and breast self-examination.

Should you find an abnormality in testicle of breast tissue, make an appointment with your doctor (if you tell them you have found a lump or abnormality by self-examination, they often schedule you right away). Remember that if a lump is found, it may be a cyst of enlarged duct, so finding a lump does not mean you may have cancer; it just means that you and your doctor will have found out more about your body, which is always of benefit.

The Health and Safety resource Network is a recent brainddcf of the Health and Safety group on campus, specifically of Medical Director Dr. Barb Schumaker and Nursing Supervisor Carol Hea. The Network is a liaison between you and any sourceof health/safety information you need, and can also provide pamphlets, films, speakers, and phone numbers to other health and safety resources.

Genocide is a powerful word: its mention evokes images of Nazi death camps, or Khmer Rouge soldiers. Genocide is the deliberate extinction of a group of people, a word whose meaning is determined as much by the end as by the means. As seen in Nazi Germany, genocide is effected not only by gun-toting machine heads and chubby little generals, but by the widespread indifference of the population that puts them in power. The worst examples of genocide do not limit that word’s definition to examples equalling or improving the standard.

Bernard Ominayak, Chief of the Lubicon Lake Cree, feels the heat of the machines every day. After a meeting last week with Alberta Premier Don Getty, he and the 450 Lubicons he represents may be on the way to a fair settlement with the Province of Alberta and the federal government, but this remains to be seen. What is certain, though, is the struggle the band has fought to survive, a fight that continues against TB which has reached epidemic proportions in the community.

To help the disease, the government has further robbed them of control over their traditional hunting lands by giving a Japanese forestry firm a $1.5 million subsidy to log the area. The already dominant presence of the oil industry has nearly ruined the Lubicon livelihood, and the 90 per cent of the band that lived on trapping has exchanged places with the 10 per cent who lived on welfare.

Because the area of the Lubicon. reserve depends on the size of band, the number of Lubicons has been in dispute. Ominayakclaims to lead over 450 Lubicon Cree, but the provincial government allows . for the existence of only nine.

Karmel Taylor McCullen, former director of Project North, who spoke about the band March 3, called it “genocide Canadian style: wipe them out on paper, destroy their livelihood, let disease do the rest.” A tenet of self-government is determination of membership.

The destruction of native peoples is happening the world over, from the Amazon forests to the islands of Indonesia, and Canada has not proven itself an exception. A fair settlement with the Lubicons, including land and control over wildlife, may soon be reached though the band has been seeking a reserve for, the past 40 years. The Lubicon’s Calgary Olympic boycott drew much needed attention to the suffering, and many expressed support for their cause. But it seems the government only began to end the injustice only once the voters became aware.

Calling all Western Canadians, Easterners, Nortfherners and especiallly Montrealers. Did I miss anybody? I would like to question just one thing from all those individuals stemming from any or all of these groups. What, I ask, is this inherited vendetta you all possess against southern Ontario, specifically the big T.O.? If we’re not clean, then we’re just not friendly enough. If we’re not being called too conservative, than we’re found to be lacking in quality sports teams. (Hey, the Leaf 8 aren’t our only representatives.)

Yes, I was born and raised in the Toronto area, and yes I’m very . proud of it. I happen to love the city and it remains my favourite despite the fact that I have travelled to all parts of Canada. No, I wasn’t surrounded by Rocky Mountains, or French Culture, or lobster traps and fishing boats. Should I feel ripped off for this? I hardly think so.

I suppose the most ironic factor that this Torontonian finds rather. humorous about the negative attitudes to Toronto, is that no matter how often you hear them, they usually seem to be coming from people who out of their own free will have decided to settle in the city. It is a fact that large groups of Canadians move to Toronto -not Montreal, Calgary, or Vancouver, Added onto this is the fact that Torontonians are perfectly willing to acknowledge the attributes of other Canadian cities and regions, while still greatly appreciating their own. I have yet to find an area of Canada that also possesses this quality. The mere mention of Toronto seems to ignite an open session of slanders and derogatory comments. Is it that the rest of Canada actually believes we could not do the same? All I can say to that is for every comment about the Leafs, there is an equally negative comment &at relates to sports teams of other cities (I-Iow about those Canucks, or those Alouettes or Concorde8 or whatever the hell they were?) This comparison relates to all other aspects, but unlike the rest of Canada, I refuse to draw them any further.

This issue is really a ridiculous one, I am happy being a.

Torontonian, and I’m sure those of you from other parts of Canada, feel the same. I have but two final comments to make regarding this subject. First of all, enjoy your heritage without feeling you have to prove anything to the rest of the country. Finally, and most important, if you really don’t like living in the area, please, please, go home. You aren’t doing the city any favours, just in case you thought you were, Jscquie Griffin

FOR-

Education - job training To the editor, Ah, spring is in the air - the snow melts, the birds return, and, yes, classes once again come to a close for the winter term, For regular students, another year has passed, and for others, they will be off to rake in the money again. Of course, there are also those of us who will soon pass the academic stage of life and venture into the “real world”. Does the learning really stop here though? Many will become students of life, and continue to learn and discover long after university: but let’s Ftake a look at university.

The University of Waterloo is a prime example of modern ‘day educational philosophy. Thp standards to get into certain programs here are almost staggering - not to mention _the standards one must keep tdcontinue in his/her “chosen” studies.

Of course, many present and former first-year students will attest that first year. does not seem to be geared,toward the student who wants to learn.

The testing standards are so high, and the intensity level so demanding, that it leads one to wonder if we are here to learn, or to be disciplined. And, of course, specialization is our specialty here at Waterloo. We’ve got it all, from Optometry to Engineering, We accommodate almost any specialty. But what about this specialization? Will the specialist ever understand his spe-

E

cialty, or will he become a slave to it -not knowing whether that which is studied is true, or if it is just believed on t he,basis of faith that what the teacher teaches is right?

If the first year is geared toward “weeding out” the students, then this must mean that the special parameters and standards to get accepted into universi)y must be inaccurate.

Of course, another way of explaining all of,the first-year dropouts is, either the teachers are not doing their jobs, or the students are not teachable.

Some define education as a leading forth, but this puts the emphasis on the teacher, Learning is, first of all, self-activity on the part of the student - the teacher is merely an instrument.

A poor teacher teaches content, while the good teacher teaches the student. Is this the process we observe here, or do the teachers merely teach at their level and expect students to find their own way to that level?

Where does the real problem lie? In elementary school, students are taught to *‘forget what everybody else says - think for yourself”. Well, it doesn’t take very long for the student to apply this reasoning to what the teacher says. Now, the student is not teachable and all learning becomes subjective, and the students only accept what appeals to them. At the end, the &dent only holds what is seen to be good. But shouldn’t education

proceed in order that the student may hold onto something because it is true - or, in other words, things should no longer be held on the basis of faith, but by reason.

It is of interest to note that the attitude of most graduating students is one of “I can’t wait toget done and make money”. Most students are not concerned with learning’ they just want to do their time, collect their piece of paper, and get a job that pays big bucks. So, what is the problem with going to university specifically to get a job? What is wrong with being a specialist? If I want something done outside my field, then I must go to someone with expertise in that field. Of course, then I would not be an expert in that field, so I would have to have faith in the fact that he would not abuse my ignorance in his field; of course he wouldn’t. . right? People are not so immoral, are they?

What about the student who actually wants to come to university to learn? Good Luck. The system is not built for that. My grandfather once told me that the system cannot be blamed because it is the one we have. Ah, democracy’ whatever the multitude wants is obviously right.

With allduerespect tomygrandfather’s philosophy, there is a major problem with the education system, but what is really said is that no one notices.

The truth is that human behaviour, as recognized by science and modern psychology, is influenced not only by one’s DNA molecule but also by theenvironment where one grows. No fixed ratio of these two influencing factors can be determined. In other words, we become whom ever we choose to become. Nobody is born homosex-

born male or,female. The environment suggests and we decide.

When genetic abnormalities are encountered, they are treated as such. But who decides what is norma1 and what is not? Well, let’s leave philosophy aside and look at nature for guidance since it is she who dictates how the biosystem should operate.

A Different If you’re gay, be

by Chris Gerrard (a pseudonym] Imprint staff I have been reading

the news lately to find out

what has been.going on with a number of gay rights issues, There was a little piece in the Toronto Star the other day about the City of North York not allowing NOW magazine to be distributed within its city limits. The reason, given by one of the city’s councilors, was that “it promotes a homosexual lifestyle”. Recently, in Britain, legislation has been flying through their parliament that would not allow government at any level support of anything that could be construed to “promote or support a homosexual lifestyle”.

The U.S; government, in its infinite stupidity, hss’come out repeatedly opposed to numerous educational and preventive items with respect to AIDS because”it would be promoting a homosexual lifestyle’*.

Well, I am about to do 8 big “no-no” - in this column, I am promoting a gay lifestyle. “Off with his head!” I can hear the exclamations now, To state what I have just stated is certainly not what people want to hear.

But let us take a bit of a different look at this whole issue for a minute. Let us suppose that there is nothing inherently wrong with being gay, or expressing ones sexuelity as a gay person. Now, why is there such a problem with promoting a “gay lifestylb” (whatever that may mean - back to that in a bit) for those persons who are gay? Is that not the same thing as promoting a musical career for someone who is musically talented? Or promoting an athletic career for someone who is adroit? Promoting a gay lifestyle for someone who is same-sex oriented to me, given our first assumption, makes imminent sense, Anything else would be akin to &tempting to fit a square peg in 8 round hole (excuse the cliche].

The “straight lifestyle” is freely promoted in media, advertising, schools, and just about everywhere else one cares to cast ones attention, But there is no information, role models, or any other form of “guide” for someone who is gay. Not only do we say, “Oh, you’re gay? Well, get over it,” but, “Oh, you’re gay? Well, don’t think about it, don’t learn about it, and we’re going to make sure you never find anything out about it/And so millions (think about it statistically - if there are five billion people on the planet, then it least five hundred million are same-sex oriented) of people live rather lousy lives.

That is assuming that there is nothing wrong with being gay. But, then, aside from ignorant, scripturally-backed arguments, what is wrong with being gay?: - “AIDS.” But AIDS started in the heterosexual population of Africa - it is not a “gay disease”; - “They’re child molesters.” Approximately 10 per cent of all pedophiles are same-sex oriented about the same percentage as the number of people of same-sex orientation in the population as a whole (suggesting that pedophilia is a function of people, not of being gay): - “They can’t have kids.” With five billion people on this globe, and more than half being malnutritioned, diseased, or suffering in some other way, is not having kids such a big deal? And what about all the straight couples that decide not to have children? Are they intrinsically evil?; - “They are immoral,” Morality is a very transitory thing, and is very dependent on the individual involved. What may be perfectly moral for some (for example, social drinking) may be seen

Light gay

for others. Perhaps the best rule of thumb to apply is that as long as what one does does not harm another individual, or infringe on another’s freedom, then it is the business of that person, and up to them to decide whether it fits into their own sense of morality.

And, to carry that a bit further, what occurs between two consenting adults is, again, their own affair, Not too many years ago, men and women living together in the same house, when they were unrelated, was considered immoral. Is it not interesting how quickly that sense of morality changed?; - “They are promiscuous.” Well, I hate to break it to you, but so are straights. Promiscuity is again a function of being human, not a function of.being gay. And some people (both gay and straight) do not see anything wrong with promiscuity another example of individualized morality; - “It is not natural.” Ask your zoology professor about s ecies that display “homosexual*’ behavior. An B, query a psychology professor 8s to by when sexual orientation seems to be determined. Judging from research in zoology, biology, and psychology, same-sex orientation seems to be quite natural; - “They are corrupting society,” How? Usual1 all the “sins” above are cited. But what about aP1 those good gay men and women who are involved in social welfare programs in their communities?

What about all the gays that are out there helping disabled people, or street kids? These 8,re hardly the acts of someone trying to destroy the moral fibre of our society; - “They are just trying to relieve their guilt.” Or perhaps, “They are trying to infiltrate society to corrupt it.” At this point, I would suggest you go discuss this with your analyst, as well as your other feelings of paranoia.

If a young man finds that he is looking at the boys far more than at the girls, then it would probably be the most prudent thing to advise that oung man to try dating other young men who ii ave a similar attraction. The “gay lifestyle” does not entail jumping into bed with the first man who makes 8 ass at you, or doing the bar scene every night, or fi ecoming a complete hedonist. Yes, there are gay men and women who are like thet, but there are straights who are like that, too, and there are far more gay men and women that are really quite well adjusted and rather nice, when you get to know them.

To me, the “gay lifest le” is nothing more than “the straight lifestyle” t 1 at one envisions, simply substituting a partner of the s8me sex for the traditional one of the opposite sex. To that extent, the “gay lifestyle” is really what ever anyone detides to make it. Being gay does not mean that you have to live one particular way - you can, if you choose to do so, embrace the stereotypical “gay lifestyle”, but that is your choice of lifestyle, period;and should not be confused with ones acceptance of ones sexuality.

The deep downreason for “not promoting a homosexual lifestyle” is basic homophobia. It has nothing to do with reason, logic, and certainly

This man began instatihg McCarthyism into Liberal party policy. This man accused the New Democratic Party of being “commies” and “traifors,” and said the NDP should get its “f--ing policies straight.” Ridiculous.

Not until after said PM was called on these three verbal infractions was a movement made and votes cast regarding the “very right,” Right Hon. Liberal PM’s being thrown out, The Liberal PM was ejected from parliament. His own vote he placed for his being cast out, showing a total disregard to ethics, parliamentary procedure, as well as displaying a view that these proceedings were “not serious.” Back to apathy again. This time stupidity was there too, The said PM’s actions also prompted a split of the Liberal caucus, Two Liberals became “independents,” as their moral consciences were given precedence over Liberal Party unity.

As the morning’s proceeding went quite well, all-hell’s stalling demons were present in the afternoon after the PM’s ejection.

Things got heated and unreasonable - especially our noted PM during question period, where the PM exhibited his pro-Reagan, procontra, pro-McCarthy, pro-stupid views, After this, the dethroned PM dissolved hi+ own government, much to the dismay of his fellow Liberals. This made the NDP the official government, who

At last, I thought, apathy was leaving the University of Waterloo. I didn’t realize that selfishness and stupidity would take its place.

I was present at the model parliament held March 5 at the Village I “blue room.” I was excited about the upcoming proceedings. I was glad, Now, I thought, maybe some of the students of UW will speak their minds. Now, perhaps issues could be discussed, debates held, and we, the students, could put forth our opinions and concerns, and exercise our interests for this great country’s well-being.

But it was not so. The model parliament on Saturday fell short of what it could of been - it became a mock parliament. It became a selfish game of “point of orders,” of debauchery, and was ruled by a “I’m not going to play unless I’m prime minister” mentality.

Most of these honours go to the - Liberal prime minister of the day.

But I must begin by thanking the Liberal PM for his concern, as well as the other Young Liberals that organized the model parliament.

They made Saturday’s proceedings possible.

But I must also criticize this man, who, as the acting Liberal pr,ime minister, acted in the style of former president Marcos of the Philippines. He, in my opinion, destroyed what he had worked so hard to attain. Apathy had left and stupidity was checking-in. I feel, that this man, who will remain nameless, set the “toilet-bowl” precedent, which led the parlia-

had a heck of a time getting anything done, thanks to the remaining and abstaining Liberals. What a mess. What a drag. What a schmuck.

I have other concerns, most are encompassed in the simple fact that more organization was needed. I was also extremely peeved because our Governor General left immediately before proceedings began. Perhaps his constant presence and guidance would have kept things in better order.

A brief tip of the hat to the re-

placement Speaker of the House, who did a fine job covering for the absent one, considering the preperation time.

The model parliament, however ludicrious it became,was indeed a step forward for the UW campus.

All parties made their showing [the PC’s were lacking as only three were present), all presented bills and their views spoken. This shows there is more than apathy at our university.

The intense debauchery, however, illustrates how the proceedings lacked control and, in some cases, intelligence.

Anti- abortionist: To the editor, On the occasion of the Supreme Court’s ruling that Canada’s abortion law is unconstitutional, the jubilant Henry Morgentaler insulted his opponents (ie., the antiabortionists) by calling them “uncomprehending, ignorant, stupid people” and, as a justification of his pro-abortion stance, he said, “Every child a wanted child, every mother a willing mother.” (“Morgentaler backers jubilant,” Calgary Herald, P. AZ, January 29, 1988.) As an anti-abortionist / who does not appreciate being called names, and - more importantly - as a Canadian citizen who does not like to see his society duped by lies couched in sleazy slogans, I would like to take this opportunity to forward the following three points.

1) In a current abortion debate the words “every child a wanted child” conjure up in the minds of. most people an attitude of compas-

sion and caring. Mr. Morgentaler, however, uses these words to disguise the simple truth that instead of enhancing the wantedness of unwanted pre-natal children, abortion kills them. Consequently, instead of providing an environment of compassion and caring (things normally associated with the words “every child a wanted child”], Morgentaler provides facilities for the deliberate destruction of human beings, 2) Of course, every child should be a wanted child. However,

“Smarten

aborting - killing - those children who are “unwanted” is a terrible displacement of the responsibility for their wantedness. The point is this: The responsibility for the wantedness of a innocent child does not rest with the child, rather, the responsibility of wanted an innocent child rests with the adult. (To better understand, read the next sentence carefully.)

that Canada‘s Supreme Court ruling on abortion marks not only the occasion of a government sanctioned abortion of the innocents, but * also the occasion of the corporate abortion of the Canadian intellect.

Many resources are available to students to obtain information on possible occupations and cawho successfully use these reers. Students resources can greatly improve their chances of obtaining a career which is both satisfying and rewarding. Following is a list of sources of career related information: 1) The Career Resource Centre is located on the first floor of Needles Hall. It is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., during which time staff are available to help locate information and answer any questions. The CRC provides the following: - Canadian Classification and Dictionary of Occupations (CCDO): This book contains descriptions of various occupations and is organized into groups of similar occupations.

- Occupation binders and books: These binders contain information about different careers and are classified by the CCDO system. They are indexed in the occupational title drawers.

- Careers by major: These binders provide information about careers related to specific majors.

- Careers Ontario: This book contains information on careers in Ontario and organized by the CCDO system.

- Government publications on changes/trends: These documents provide employment trends and outline areas of growth and decline.

- Directories of Associations for Canada and the US: These provide listings of associations from whom it is possibie to obtain career-related information.

mentioned, we can correctly conclude that adults [male and’ female) have the responsibility to provide an environment of compassion and caring for children and that adults should not make efforts to kill children for their (ie., the adults’) irresponsibility.

3) Finally, in view of the fact that most abortions do not arise out of the circumstance of rape (according to the US, Surgeon General, rape almost never results in pregnancy], and in view of the above discourse concerning responsibility, Mr. Morgent aler’s slogan “every mother a willing

- Career planning books: These books offer information on choosing careers and in formulating job search strategy, writing resumes and letters, and preparing for interviews.

- Employer literature and videos: These resources provide information on employers in a given business or industry and/or geographic region.

- Newspapers and magazines: These resources can provide a wealth of information. Look for expansion plans, announcemeirts of reorganization, anything which gives clues as to possible openings.

2) Career Services and Student Vocational Advisors (SVA’s]: These services are for Co-op and regular students, graduating students and those looking for summer or part time jobs. Services provided are resume writing, skill and interest identification, interview skill development and job search techniques.

3] Undergrad advisors: Advisors -can often identify various avenues and options for employment.

4) Past experience and contacts (volunteer, part-time, summer, co-op positions): First-hand experience and exposure is an excellent source of information and valuable contacts.

5) Information gathering interview: Select an employer and ask to speak to someone in a particular area of interest. Use this interview as a means of obtaining information about the company and the industry.

6) Networking: Talk to everyone possible to obtain career information and to let people know you are looking for a job. Utilize these contacts.

side to the nuclear power debate I

I found the discussion of the nuclear industry in Brian Fehrenbach’s letter (Imprint, Feb. 19) somewhat one-sided. To give a more complete picture of thi issue I’d like to point out a few of the problems with nuclear power that Mr. Fehrenbach forgot to mention: 1) A nuclear catastrophe is always a possibility. The major accidents at Chalk River, Ont. in 1950 and 1958 (one person killed,’ dozens severely contaminated) showed that Canadian reactors aren’t nerfect. Partial meltdowns like thbse at Three Mile Island (USA) and Chernobyl (USSR) could happen anywhere, including Canada.

The Idea One of the great victories of student activism in the late ’60s and early ’70s was the “democratization” of higher education. This meant that students would be represented on all university decisionmaking bodies so as to put forward the student view, Students at Waterloo were enormously successf\ul in this regard+ We are represented at virtually all levels and to a degree, 14 members out of 90 in Senate, five members out of 38 at the Board of Governors, that goes beyond mere tokenism.

The results of this experiment in university governance have been mixed. It has served as a useful platform for getting projects such as Federation Hall and the townhouses built, and has opened up the flow of information. Nevertheless, the majority of student seats on department and faculty councils are left unfilled. When students are present, they seem to be used only as a sounding board for proposals. put forward by faculty and administration.

Student consultation may result in a few minor changes but rarely means questioning the basic assumptions behind acadpmic changes.

Even more rarely do students use representation to bring forward their own academic proposals.

Why is this so? Does it mean students are completely satisfied with academic programs at Waterloo? I think not. More likely it can be attributed to low awarenessof the representation open to them, a eo-op svstem that deDrives students of

2) The CANDU reactors used in

Canada are prone to expensive breakdowns. Replacing the failing pressure tubes at the Pickering and Bruce reactors will cost more than $500 million. The most inefficient reactor in the world, Gentilly 2 in Quebec, is a CANDU that has been working only three per cent of the time since installation.

3) There is an unfortunate link between nuclear energy and nuclear weapons. Nuclear reactors are needed to produce the spent uranium and tritium used in the manufacture of nuclear weapons.

Canada sold a CANDU reactor to India, which used ,the spent’ fuel from the reactor to develop its first nuclear bomb. Ontario Hydro is plhnning to sell tritium (a crucial

The title of this column has been “The It is sometimes difIdea of a University”. ficult to make a connection between lofty statemerits about the purpose of the university to one’s own academic career here at Waterloo. Y&t, ‘the idea of a university” is acted out every minute of every hour here on our own campus. How is this done?

When the humanities student reads only the interpretation of great works rather than the books themselves we see liberal education degenerating from a quest for knowledge to an acquiring of opinion.

When the assistant professor spends 40 hours a week doing research and 10 hours

departments, each course description, each lab, assignment, midterm, essay or exam is a statement, intentional or otherwise, of Waterloo’s educational philosophy. This is qertainly a statement of the ,obvious, but it does show that education on campus must be examined at a university-wide level and not at a department or course level.

An end to this column with a personal opinion. This university has some fundamental decisions to make regarding its own approach to education. One approach is to continue the trend away from what the classical definition of a university has been and toward what can be best calIed a polytechnic; this approach judges the success of a university educateaching so as to increase their opportunities for tenure we see the tensions be- tion by the immediate benefits of its gradtween research and teaching resolved uates and research to the private sector.

This is simply the view of one student among 18,000. What do you think? What aspects of knowledge do you think are fundamental and should be a part of any university education? How do you think student’s work should be evaluated?

How do you think professor’s work should be evaluated? What type of research do you think should be conducted at a university? All members of the university should be constantly asking these and hundreds of related questions, As I mentioned at the top of this column, students have a great deal of power on university decision-making bodies.

Students can have a decisive impact on the education direction of this university if we choose to exercise our influence.

The Fourth Decade Report, discussed last week, provides an excellent opportunity to form and advance the student view.

The Federation of Students and the studeht societies are starting work on an “Education Week” for next fall. The purpose is to initiate a structured debate of these issues brought forward the the Fourth Decade Report by students, faculty and staff in each faculty and department. To to be successful it needs the parti@pation of many students who will take ‘a critical view of their education.

Why participate? Because your education here will have a gieat effect on the quality of your life beyond Waterloo and, finally, because thinking about education is a very “educating” experience.!

David Harely, owner and founder of the Far West Mountain Gear Co., brought his insight on starting a business to UW recently.

Harley’s presentation, span: sored by UW’s Entrepreneurs Club, concentrated on how he started his own clothing company and the various problems he has encountered over the past 10 years.

Today, the Far West company is one of Canada’s leading manufacturers of outer-wear and was rated the one of the fastest growing companies over the last five years. Far West is North America’s largest producer of Gortex clothing, with estimated sales exceeding $18 million.

Harley started Far West in 1977 with an idea and almost no money. With a little monetary assistance from his father, he began designing and producing clothes from his home in Vernon, B.C. The company is now based in Vernon and employees over 140 people.

The secret to Harley’s success was his innovative use of Gortex. He discovered Gortex early in 1976 through sume American friends and quickly realized the potential it had in the clothing industry.

Gortex is a chemical by-product of Teflon and was originally proposed for medical use, It is often used to make artificial heart valves or ligaments. Being totally __ synthetic, the humpn - -.-.I body will not reject it. In tne CIOthing industry, it is used as a lightweight insulator. It has nine billion holes per square inch - and* will let moisture pass through

David Harley from ihe inside, but will not let 4 any moisture in. This allows jackets that used to have a weight of more than 40 pounds to be produced with a weight of only 25 pounds.

Since the jackets are so light, Harley established the name Far West in the market of durable outer-wear aimed at skiers, hikers, and nature enthusiasts.

Only recently has his style of outer-wear become fashionable with the more affluent buyer.

“We were already on stream for five years when it took - while others are just getting into it now for the profit.”

As far as managing Far - West goes, Harley uses a Japanese style of management. Most of his workers all work on one production floor and his desk is right there with the workers amidst

the production.

“When people pay $350 for a jacket - they get $350 worth of jacket. The quality is there in both the material and the production. We produce dependable and durable clothing.”

Harley himself is a workaholic. He works 60 to 70 hours a week. This has taken its toll on both family and friends, he said.

“Sometimes I just sleep withmy wife, but I don’t talk to her, It has also tested many friendships.

It’s hard to know when to stop working.”

While working has its price, many out there would think him the picture of success. In 11 years, his company has grown incredibly. He recently finished building his “dream” home and gets to work in a fashionable i972 BMW.

Campus Day, helped student’s decision Campus Day for me was the day for. making the final decision, I had applied to both uniI versity and college Recreation programs but was uncertain of how to choose between the two.

College would take only two years to complete: university, on the other hand, would take four to five years and would require a whole lot more money and a bigger commitment. My college campus visits had been less threatening as they reminded me of my high school; smaller campuses and younger students. It appeared that colleges w,ere winning me over.

Attending that cold windy Campus Day at the University of Waterloo in 1983, however, turned out to be the best thing I have ever done, I dragged my poor mother along for moral support, even though she didn’t really know what a recreation program entailed.

At Waterloo, the friendly stu-dents, faculty, and staff who greeted us made us feel welcome.

How convenient is a bus route from where you will be living and how long will ou be spending on the bus eat 1 day?

If you are like me, there will be days when you wake up late and won’t have time to pack a lunch or maybe you will work late in the lab. Where are the restaurant and cafeteria facilities and what do current students have to say about the food?

Lastly remember to critically look at the visual campus setting and landscaping. If you decide to attend UW, you will come to fully a preciate the village green and ot %er lovely open spaces on our campus! Where else could you find a superior location for studying by osmosis!

I assume they already obtain abundant academic guidance and advice from their parents, school counselors, and undergraduate programme representative& Further, I attempt to take the mystery out of attending university, so that visits to campus are meaningful rather than intimidating. The size and administrative structure of the university alone have an impact on high school visitors.

Since student life is enhanced by opportunities to get involved, my informal tours highlight Villages I and II, our Physical Activities Complex, our ‘@unique” Campus Centre, and the ever impressive Fed Hall in addition to the buildings which house the programs of interest to visitors.

In my opinion, the opportunities are out there. It just takes initiative to get involved.

To use the house-buying analogy again, you wouldn’t buy a house before seeing it, before checking out its home-like features. A campus tour is a must for high school students who want to make educated decisions about where to go to university.

system

must be taken into consideration Every university has its distinct features; every university has its advantages and disadvantages. Many who consider attending the University of Waterloo have been drawn here by one feature: the well-developed co-op system.

The prospect of job opportunities, job contacts, and salaries considerably above minimum wage are enough to lure many high school students to seriously consider such a program. However, in addition to very visible opportunities, there can be drawbacks to co-op.

First of all, with co-op programs comes inherent instabil-

ity. Many students do not know from term to term where they will be working. One might work in Ottawa one term and in Toronto the next. Between these work terms come four-month school terms in Waterloo. This can cause problems in finding accommodation in cities with tight housing markets. While the out-of-town housing lists provided by UW’s housing office are helpful, they do not change the fact that co-op students generally move every four months.

SecondIy, many students find themselves away from friends during work terms. Even those who work in the same city often

find they spend less time with friends since they are not attending classes together. This can create a certain amount of loneliness.

Then there’s the problem that students in some faculties encounter when many of their friends are not in co-op. This means that for several. terms in a row, they may not be on campus at the same time. This problem is reduced in faculties such as engineering where most or all students are in co-op programs.

In addition, the co-op program has an impact on university life even when students are on campus. The co-op program necessi-

tates a short school term. All courses are term courses. The term has barely started before mid-terms hit and then exams come along and it’s time to head off for yet another work term.

While this isn’t necessarily a problem for students who plan in advance, the hectic pace tends to act as a barrier to campus involvement .

Students in co-op are generally more concerned with their grades since getting a good job is a priority. In addition, the process of job interviews can be time-consuming. This means that they might miss out on some of the non-academic educational experiences university life has to offer.

Moving every four months also means that many students &YPU> DAY forego a sense of continuity and TOUR hhG+IL&tiTA a sense of belonging to the university.

ONLINE growing in stature

by Pietr Staihia ~ Imprint staff University of Waterloo students aren’t a very creative bunch of people - at least that’s the myth. In part, it’s true, Considering our mammoth size, we have only pockets of any creative impulse. But lately, there’s bgen an attempt to increase artistic consciousness on this campus, Thank My Muses!! The absence of a student literary magazine on a campus this size was something I couldn’t really explain, That was last year, Now, the second ONLINE is available for consumption.

Online is an annual collection of student poetry and short prose edited by Peter McPhee and Ian Ropke, both students themselves. With the aid of the

Creative Arts Board and other poets, they are slowly building a vehicle for UW student expression.

McPhee is organizing a loyear plan for Online. He wants to train editors in the selection and layout processes before he graduates and retires from the project. He doesn’t want to see interest in the magazine fade just as it’s starting to make a name foi, itself locally.

A vehicle for student expression McPhee is also planning to involve the Fine Arts Guild with Online, having them submit graphics and drawings to incorporate with the literature..As well as having their work published,

several of this year’s authors, including McPhee, recite their poems regularly on and off campus. Their hangouts include Pierre’s Lounge and the Princess Theatre. McPhee is organizing a major poetry reading at the Princess for this September which will feature established writers as well as younger, local writers, Poetry reading will continue along with jazz music at Pierre’s Lounge this Monday (and hopefully every Monday night.]

30, 1 Y88+

by James Cash Imprint staff During the months of May and June 1987, legendary engineer Alan Parsons set about the task of digitally remixing and remastering (ADD] his 1976 album Tales of Mystery and Imeginatiun - Edgar Allen Poe for Compact Disc release. It has been available by import since fall ‘87 and is soon to be released domestically. However, there are some surprises in store for those who have been eagerly awaiting the CD release, I must also admit, on a personal note, that this album has been a favorite of mine since I first heard it when I was 10. And there is a consensus in the music world, ranking this album with Dark Side of the Moon, which was also engineered by Parsons.

The Tales album was the first of the Alan Parsons .Projects, a group which comprised Parsons, Eric Woolfson, Andrew Powell, Ian Bairnson and a large, handpicked band of musicians. Parsons terms this .group an “anonymous outfit that never plays gigs.” The Tales album also signalled “the first of a new breed - the Producer’s album,” As I said, there are surprises - some good and some not so good - in this “dramatic new version” of the 1976 release.

Among the nicest surprises is

The one great blemish of the new version is to be found in The Raven. A new guitar solo has been added near the coda by Bairnson who has played on all the Projects. The solo is a great disappointment because it is quite unimaginative and amateur sounding. Taking the whole album into creative consideration, the new solo sticks out like a piece of snot on the wall.

Another disappointment came in Part IV of The FaJJ of the House of Usher, the Pavane. Personally, I much prefer the sound of a genuine acoustic string to a synthesized string sound and each have a place. But Parsons has replaced the acoustic guitar chords in the Pavane with a sort of synthesized clavichord/harpsichord hybrid. Sometimes, I think I hear that 1976 guitar, mostnotably near the three minute mark but it is blurred by the addition of new technology.

But this ends my grievances. I am, nevertheless, satisfied with the new version. And there are many areas where the album was improved. The inclusion of narration that was commissioned from the late Orson Welles in 1976 is presented for the first time on this version. The narration is not overly long and it generally contributes to the mood of the album. The two gems of the

organ in 1976 was less distinctive and not used to its full potential.

The Intermezzo is unchanged. Then, as I said before, the Pavane which follows has been refined to the point of lifeless perfection. The sound is unquestionably clearer and sharper but although, the new harmonies between the mandolin and the synthesized clavichord are quite musical, they are also quite pointless. Finally, Part V, The Fall is relatively unchanged still communicating its terror and finality.

The last track, To One in Paradise, is still a beautiful testament to the diverse talents common to aJJ Projects. It is Q swirJing, mellow tune very pleasing to hear and quite conducive to those trances of complete relaxation and emotional catharsis.

In generoJ, I would contend that under close inspection, the improvements outweigh the disappointments. I only wish that Parsons Jeft it to his fans to choose the version they like best, Why couldn’t he hove his fun with the old version but perhaps release both versions on CD? So my advice to other lovers of this album is to keep their 1976 copies, but in addition buy the 3987 CD version.

I Go Crazy, from the Some Kind Of Wonderful soundtrack, received positive air-play in Canada and the U.S.

when the movie was released.

Unfortunately for them, Flesh For Lulu will not reach the stardom status achieved by their predecessors Simple Minds.

Simple- Minds had the talent needed to become successful and only used the Hughes film, The Breakfeost Club, to expose themselves to a much broader audience, They already had a strong following before working apprehensively with Hughes while the boys in FFL expect instant fame just because they were on a soundtrack with the likes of Pete Shelley, Stephen Duffy, The March Violets, and The Iesus and Mary Chain. Success only comes with talent and hard work; not just by being on the same piece of vinyl as the aforementioned artists.

Whether he is successful or not is in the ear of the beholder. While most of the album tracks are not worth mentioning, there are a few amiable cuts that are worth hyping.

Of course I Go Crazy is top billed on the album cover; yet the lyrics, which are included for every other song, are not given, Then again, they really aren’t needed. Teenie-boppers .everywhere will flock for this somewhat already boring tune. The album as a whole sounds much like I Go Crazy. If you are expecting a @eat variety of style, you won’t find it on this album.

Songs such as Post Cards

From Paradise and Hammer of Love show some range of musical versatility, yet they are still limited to an AM audience. If this album is pushed enough, you may hear these songs fluttering through the sea air while

you’re sunbathing on the beach this summer. Don’t take that as a threat; the album more or less holds its own as background music at a party or on the beach.

It’s not meant to be taken too seriously, so don’t.

cution to the order of Jack Meehan (Alan Bates), a London mortician and an evil crime baron to boot. Fallon balks, not wishing to kill again, but if he doesn’t, he’ll lose his own life, Fallon makes the hit in a cemetery. Unfortunately, his crime is witnessed by the parish priest, Fr. da Costa (Bob Hoskins), to whom Fallon immediately goes to confess his crime, thereby preventing the cleric from revealing his identity to the police. Thus, A Prayer For The Dying marries political reality and ‘Catholic dogmatism with startling econ-

omy. While Fallon questions his life, and existence in general, with increasing disillusionment, he also must dodge Meehan’s thugs as well as his old IRA mates, who have orders to bring him back to Ireland, or kill him.

Thought-provoking and replete with religious imagery, A Prayer For The Dying is a success on all fronts but one; J Rourke’s Irish accent is passable’ but just. Trivial complaint to level at such a rich, moving film, compassionate and visually rich. All this and Alison Doody, too.

BLVD.‘s new self-titled LP provides an interesting problem.

What do you do with Honeymoon Suite and Mr. Mister rejects? I have a plan: The group members should be air-dropped as stock into a freefire hunting zone; say Boca Rio. Then some lucky hunter can bag their heads as trophies after he spreads their insides over 20 yards with a gut shot from a large-bore rifle.

You can reveal the intentions and aspirations of a band on vinyl by listening to the first song, the last track on side one and the final spiral. Well it’s pretty easy to tell that these Vancouver faggots are your basic formula rockers. Track one: energetic dance number with fat analogue synths and stupid lyrics. End of side one: token slow tune to get fucked by with stupid lyrics. End of wax:

J

psycho speed rock to polka to with stupid lyrics.

Blvd. are faced with a frantic desire to rhyme everything in romantic drivel. From Under the Moonlight, “More than a kiss!

Something I missed/ Draws me back to you/ More than a touch/ Feeling so much/ Something that you do,” is a prime specimen of this phenomenon. How does this grab ya? “You’ve been runnin’ from me/ With a restless heart!

‘Cause lately we’ve been worlds apart,” from Dream On. More glops of insipid teenage goopiness. Missing Persons: “Calling distant stations place to place/ Bringing missing persons face to face.”

It’s all pretty trashy. I am inclined to suggest that everybody buy a copy and burn it. Problem with that is the group would make a dump truck of money which would in turn foster and nurture their careers indefinitely. Plus they would think they were churning out good music and get swelled heads and probably make more stupid records which I would be forced to slag.

A better thing to do would be to flood the guy responsible for signing these goofs with hate mail and threaten him with a boycott of MCA product if they are not promptly terminated,

FEROGOUS An Explosion Into PeMssive Dressing Photos and story by Andrew Rehage Imprint staff The Fine Arts Guild and the Dance Society presented a well

choreographed display of haute clothing for the up coming spring and summer seasons at Fed Hall Wednesday night.

Ferocious Menner was a great success and a rather large and receptive audience viewed the latest offerings from the world of fashion. Clothing moguls such as Esprit, The Frat House, and le Chateau were all well represented in cloth. The UW’s own Paula Cruz, Rhonda Riche, and Sarah Schuessler presented they‘re own contemporary ideas for student apparel.

Paula Cruz’s Para-military Mode line consists of dominant wear in stark reds and blacks casting a certain malevolence on the wearer.

.

.

Rhonda Riche’s Designs give a certain rambunctious flare to casual wear with fur-lined denim.

Sarah Schuessler’s swim wear could be viewed as reminiscent of the 60‘s yet they are all risque enough and bold enough to make comment on today’s beaches.

Bright and multi-coloured clothing have given way to solid blues, blacks and whites, Many of the new sweaters and tops exude simplicity with straight foreword stripes and non-imposing patterns. The colours of this year‘s warmer seasons seem to be beige, kaki, navy blue, and black - all with complimenting whites.

@ SPORTS Warriors

by Dave Bslodis The Warrior volleyball team finally broke the Western jinx and won the OUAA West March 5 at the PAC. Last year’s division title went to Westernin a heartbreaker.

The week before the match, the Warriors experienced a few chills. Siarting setter Tony Martinus fell victim to the flu and couldn’t practice, and first-string power-hitter Lech Bekesza developed knee problems the day before the confrontation.

Just pre-game stomach quakes though.

The Warriors stuck to coach Rob Atkinson’s game plan.

Tough serving hampered Western’s offence as they consistently failed to pass the ball to their setter. Waterloo’s blocking was the key as Western’s powerstrikes were turned aside.

Waterloo effectively spiked down the line countering Western’s preparation for the trademark Warrior cross-court attack.

Bekesza established things early with two big rejections while Western’s refusal to play deeper on defence allowed highflying power-man Steve Smith to score, Waterloo, after winning the first game, looked to be in the driver’s seat as they took a commanding 13-4 lead into game two. Western did not lack char-

take OUAA West crown

acter or tenacity and scrapped to steal the game 16-14. It seemed that the Warrior tide had turned when Western galloped to a quick 4-O advantage in game three. A timeout allowed the Warriors to regain their composure and control of the match.

Scott Smi,th was the big surprise for Waterloo, Smith registered 22 kills in the middle position where he has limited experience. It seemed that Western was homing on Waterloo’s other talented middle Steve Heck, Waterloo captain Vince Deschamps was virtually flawless in the backcourt and at the net.

Off the bench, Brian Damman filled in for the ailing Beckesza and saw some action at the offside position.

Tomorrow (Saturdhy) the Warrior’s square off against the University of Toron to Varsity Blues in the PAC at 2 p,m. for the OUAA crown. The Blues, defending champs visit Waterloo with a string of OUAA all-stars.

U of T’s well-oiled offence has defeated the Warriors four times this season but has yet to visit the PAC. However, Waterloo has played one month of strong volleyball and carries momentum into this final, A victory for the Warriors will give the team a bite at the big pie: the national championships in Guelph.

by Mike h’kGr8W Imprint staff The Waterloo Warriors basketball campaign didn’t end with the sound of a buzzw this season. It ended with a phone call, Sunday afternoon lMarch 6), the CIAU selection committee got together via Gtinference phone set-up and chme the two wild card teams whl& will join six divisional champs Jn Halifax for the Canadian ChaPspionships this week. The Warriers weren’t one of them.

The Acadia Axemen (ranked number two] and the Saskatchewan Huskies (number four] grabbed the two wild card berths. The Axemen were upset

by UPEI last weekend while the Huskies dropped a three-game series to Victoria.

Waterloo was hoping for a wild card spot after losing the OUAA West final to the Western Mustangs two week? ego. However, things looked bleak as UW fell from number four to number eight in the top 10 rankings.

UW head coach Don McCrae was disappointed, but had some thoughtful comments on the state of the CIAU’s selection and playoff

process.

“Naturally, we’re disappointed,” said McCrae. “We had a good season, but someone wins and someone loses. I don’t blame the selection committee, it’s a process which aI1 of the CIAU’s members fail to address. The worst part is that the athletes are assured it will be a logical pro-

cess, and then they get surprised.”

McCrae stated that the sudden ~;~~~I~;mat is appropriate for “Suddei death or sudden victory is a very reasonable process in intercolIegiate sports, especially with the time factor, We’re not talking about filling a 36,000-seat stadium - best-of93 isn’t appropriate, This is what wild cards are for - to deal with a sudden death upset.”

But he was critical of Saskatchewan’s high ranking.

“Including Saskatchewan into this is unfortunate, they played under ,500 i’n January and Febru,ary and then had an exciting playoffs.”

“The problem of selection is not with the committee, no criteria has ever been set down to choose. There’s no continuity, the only interesting thing is the novelty of the select ions.”

McCrae identified the problem as the six-member committee’s independent decision-making process.

“There is no real process. The weekly rankings are the net result of six independent, subjective decisions which are put in a computer and dumped out. They get together once a year (like

Sunday) and annually they arbitrarily set up ways of setting up criteria, This is the longest inadequacy I’ve dealt with in the CIAU.” McCrae placed blame for this situation on the National Association of Basketball Coaches

(NABC) and the CIAU’s athletic directors.

McCrae also identified the varying playoff formats across the country as part of the selection dilemma. While Waterl&o finished its playoffs in an 18hour span, Saskatchewan played best-of-three series against both UBC and Victoria.

Erratic playoff format “The erratic playoff format is a problem. Saskatchewan wins a best-of+ versus UBC, then plays another one against Victoria and everyone gets excited over this ‘perceived excellence’, Here in the, OUAA, we play two games in 18 hours. This isn’t a problem of the commit tee.”

The fact the OUAA insists on playing the Wilson Cup game is also a problem according to McCrae. This game pits the East champ against the West champ but has no bearing on who advances to the nationals. Even though the game is relatively meaningless, it forces the,OUAA to finish its playoffs a week early, “The OUkA is set with playing the Wilson Cup game.

There’s a great>amount of nostalgia connected with it, and there’s nothing wrong with nostalgia but it puts us out of whack. We have to set aside a playing date, and this interrupts our selection chances.”

McCrae also noted that while

the OUAA follows a standard by playing the Wilson Cup, such precedents are not observed in other sports.

“Three-Rivers (UQTR Pat riotes) mi ht win the Ontario hockey cghampionship. Where’s Three-Rivers? What county are they in? Our provincial championships have been made less significant. We have to do. something .”

McCrae further pointed out that the CIAU’s freezing of the’ top 10 rankings in alI sports one week before the nationals is a problem for basketball.

“The athletic directors synthesized all requests for locking out the top ten for all sports.

Maybe,it works for other sports, but it doesn’t work for basketball.”

McCrae noted how this selection process took the enthusiasm out of his team.

The witchcraft dice roll “I’ve never experienced being involved in this before and I found it brake the spirit of my athletes. They prepared themselves to be rewarded for their efforts, and then the witchcraft dice roll occurs.”

Despite all these problems, McCrae still prefers an, eightteam championship as opposed to four regionals followed by a final four, “We’ve always been advocates

of an eight-team tournament. It’s a great opportunity for student athletes to come together at the final, it gives a much better recognition of the all-Canadians. If you have regionals, there’s still squabbling over the individual regional selections,” Warrior guerd Jerry Nolfi wasn’t crying foul over UW’s exclusion from the tournament, “The guys played their hearts out, and I’m proud of that,” said Nolfi. “We had our destiny in our own hands against Western, but you’ve ‘got to give them credit, they played great.”

Nolfi, whose four-year career at Waterloo is now finished, lamented the end of his playing days. Nolfi is departing along with Rob Froese, Jamie McNeil1 and Tom Schneider.

The end of an era “It’s the end of an era for me, ’ Tom, Rob and jamie.”

Froese echoed McCrae’s sentiments regarding the selection process.

“It’s the process, not the committee,” said Froese. “I’m disappointed we’re not going but the teams that are going are gpod ones, they deserve to be there.”

The final-eight tournament gets under way today (Friday) in Halifax. In opening round action Western plays Saskatchewan, Brandon faces Carleton, Acadia battles Bishop’s and UPEI plays Victoria.

Froese hangs ‘em up for goodHard-driving

shadowed.

by Mike McGraw Imprint ataff

“I don’t look at it that way, we went to the national champion-

Every Warrior basketball game, it would happen: number 10, the blonde-haired player with the moustache, would steal the ball in his own end and burst up court; with deceptive speed his 6’3” 180 pound frame would edge ahead of those in pursuit; arms flailing, hair bobbing, he would smash through any obstruction, leaving defenders strewn across the paint; crashing to the floor after somehow sinking the basket, he’d brush himself off and head to the free throw line to finish off the threepoint play; with quiet confidence, he’d nail the free throw and drop back to play defence again. This will be my lingering memory of Rob Froese.

Froese was rewarded for five years worth of bruises, abrasions and scrapes last night in Halifax where he was chosen an all-Canadian. With this honour, he joins Peter Savich, Randy Norris, and Paul Boyce, all fellow starters with the early 1980s Warrior dynasty, which made three consecutive trips to the Canadian championships.

Although he wasn’t as noticeable on the court as the other three, Froese’s stats make up for the lack of glitter.

As he unties his Reeboks for the last time, he stands second in all-time Warrior scoring with 2,409 points (14.8 per game), trailing only the legendary Savich, who scored 3,325 in the black and gold.

.”

guard joins Warrior elite as All-Canadian

Peerless from the charity stripe

But from the charity stripe, Froese is peerless, In his career, he hooped 657 free throws for an 81.4 percentage, both school records. This season, he shattered the school free throw percentage mark, canning a glittering 88.5 per cent.

Froese insists that while he was on the same court as the other three, he never felt over-

ships three times with that team, and that’s what I really cared about.”

Despite his prowess for hoops, Froese was almost lured to the U.S. with baseball scholarship offers. Believe it or not, he received better offers for hardball than roundball.

However, his high school basketball career was also an attention-getter.

Froese was a member of the 1982-83 OFSSA champion Kitchener Cameron Heights team which could have passed as a university squad.

Aside from Froese, the line-up featured Providence forward Dave Kipfer, Lennox Lewis (now a boxer), Andy Balogh and the Naus brothers, Jasper and Marcel.

Lured to Waterloo in 1983-84, Froese, like most rookies, saw’limited court time (13 minutes per game). He averaged only 4.5 points per game that season, but blossomed into a starter in 198485 with 16.5 points per game and an OUAA all-star selection. As an established scorer, he averaged 14.5,19.8, and 19.9 points in his final three seasons. Rival coaches respected his abilities he was an all-star each of these years.

But the 1987-88 season saw a different side of number 10 emerge - Froese as team leader.

In 1986-87, Boyce was the trigger man, the man who got the ball when the game was on the line, the man the rookies looked up to.

When he joined Savich and Norris as alumni, it was Froese’s turn to take charge.

In a sometimes horrifying preseason which produced a 7-8 record, Froese had trouble adjusting to his new role as captain.

“I tried to do too much in the preseason,” he admits. “That’s the worst preseason I’ve had in four years. I realized that leadership comes naturally by setting examples. The young guys are looking to give you the ball in key situations. When I was F roo-

kie, I was looking for Peter Savich in key situations, this year they were looking for me, the fifth-year guy.”

Banner season Once the regular I season began, Froese’s teammates looked on as number 10 began to rip apart opponents like he’d never done before. In the OUAA league games, Froese averaged 24 points per game, set a division record by shooting 93 per cent from the foul line, and potted 58 ,per cent from the field. His tenacity on defence and general disregard for his body inspired the young team to a 10-Z firstplace finish and a number four ranking in the country. ’ Froese admits he was a little ientative about the regular season after the pre-Christmas horror show.

“We had high hopes going into the season, but the way we played in the preseason, we didn’t expect to do as well as we did. We 1were a little worried after the preseason, but all the time we knew we had a good team.”

He feels the preseason provided a chance for the rookies and the team as a whole to iron out their collective problems.

“The preseason was really good for the rookies. After the Christmas tournament we made some switches, we needed a lineup which hustled and played hard. This team was the hardest working and closest knit team I played with here.”

Blue collar player, steelworker, Mr. Work Ethic are all appropriate adjectives to describe Froese’s gritty style. Although Froese sees himself as a tireless worker, he believes he’s more than a grinder.

Idolizes Bird “I like to think that I’m a hard worker but+there’s also another side. Larry Bird is my idol, and he can play tough and score as well.”

No one can dispute this. In addition to the great number of baskets he scores barrelling through the paint, he’s a sniper from the perimeter. In fact, when he starts draining jumpers from Is-feet and beyond, the lunchpail cliches give way to ones of skill and grace. Kind of like the Birdman himself.

Froese’s fondest memory orhis Waterloo career is one which seasoned Warrior fans still talk about. In the 1986 regional at the PAC, more than> 4,000 fans watched with bated breath as Froese sunk two free throws with no time left on the clock to break a tie with McGill and keep LJW’s Halifax hopes alive.

Now that the days of practices, meetings, and game days are over, Froese will have more time to concentrate on another forte of his: education. But like baaketball

Mitro races to gold finish at OUAA championship

by Kevin Shoom One gold medal, two CIAU qualifiers, and two school records: that was the tally for the University of Waterloo at the OUAA/OWIAA Indoor Track and Field championships. The meet was held last weekend, March 4 and 5, at the University of Windsor.

The gold medal came from Harvey Mitro in the 1500-metre, Mitro kicked away from the field, running a blazing final lap en route to victory in three minutes, 54.12 seconds. With the win, Harvey qualified for the CIAU championships, to be held in Winnipeg this weekend.

Waterloo’s other qualifier is Paul Ernst, He took fourth in the 5000m in 14:48.55, a big personal best. Ernst’s race had been an exciting one. Most of the field dropped off through attrition, setting the stage for a frenzied kick to the finish over the final 900m. The two other Warriors in the race acquitted themselves well: Nick Cipp held on to seventh in 15:08.54, and Al Faulds came through in 15:29.84 for ninth.

Paul Meikle, meanwhile, lowered the two school records he had set at U of T the week before, Meikle covered the 80m in his semifinal in 7.08 seconds. His old record was 7.10. Paul ended up placing sixth in the final in 7.14.

Later in the day, Meikle powered through the second half of his 30Om to shave a hundredth off his record of the previous week. The new mark stands a?

35.75 seconds. Winning his section was good enough to give Meikle fifth place overall.

Meikle and Mitro contributed to the men’s 4x200 and 4x400m relay teams, which both narrowly missed the medals. In the 4x400, run by Mitro, Pat Kirkham, Derek King, and Meikle, a strong third leg by King pulled the team temporarily into second . place. Western came back on the final leg, however, and U of T’s time from the other heat nudged the Warriors into fgurth. The team also barely missed the school record, as they ran 3:25.32.

The 4x200 m team placed fourth as well. Dwaine Hirtle, Meikle, Peter Papp, and Kirkham combined for a time of k32.24, a full second under the CIAU standard. With sperlr’ing cuts by the CIAU on its track and field program, though, many CIAU standard-makers have been shut out of the CIAU meet, including the Warrior reliy team. The entire team will have another shot next year, I:E none of its members are graduaf ing.

Also looking good for the future is Scott McLellan, who took fifth in the 1OOOm.The rookie, who broke Harvey Mitro’s highschool records, came from well back into contention on the last lap, finishing in 2:28,8. Mitro, the defending champion, was relegated to the slow section because he had no seed time. He ran a solo 2:31.5, mutilating his section but placing only the ninthfastest time of the meet. Steve Scott, in his farewell performance as a Warrior, was 14th overall in 2:41.8.

Injuries robbed other Waterloo runners of their final appearances. Kevin Shields, a silver medallist last year, withdrew from the 150Ombecause of back problems.

In the women’s 150Om,Janice Patterson stepped off the track shortly after the

halfway mark because of a stress fracture. Up to that point, she had been running a fast and gutsy race after having not run for several weeks, but the pain became unbearable. Besides, her shoelace was untied.

Daniel Jonah of Sierra Leone, running his first race for Waterloo, was 13th in the 15OOmin ko8.39. A strong kick moved him into second in his section, the slower of the two. For the

top-ten finish. Hachey finished 12th overall in 3:30.15.

The Warrior field team, Reg Russwurm, did not advance from the long jump qualifying round. Russwurm was fast out of the blocks in the 80m hurdles, though, running 10.25 to make the semifinals. His start inspired the entire team, as the next day the Waterloo bus was an uncharacteristic first out of the parking lot.

Two Warriors go to CIAU Athen&, Jill Francis and Lisa Laffradi were fourth and fifth in their section, giving them 12th and 13th overall. Francis ran 4:59.94 and Laffradi had a personal best 5:04.75.

Meikle was not the only Waterloo sprinter to make the 80m semis. Dwaine Hirtle was second in his heat in 7.19, a time he repeated in his semifinal. Peter Papp was fourth in his heat in 7.47, and Martha de Cannes took fifth in hers in 8.71.

Derek King was sec‘;rndin his division, and McHale was disqualified.

Doing five laps of the track (which has the best sound-system of any track in the province) for the Athenas were Marielle Rowan and Linda Hachey.

Rowan was third in her 1OOOm section in 3:14.92, giving her a

Among the Warriors on that bus (the first bus taken by Waterloo runners since 1983) were the members of the men’s 4x800 and women’s 4x400 teams. Steve Scott, Shamir Jamal, Dan Jonah, and Tim Collins were fifth in the 4x800 in 8A7.90. The women Sheri Emery, Lisa Laffradi, Kelly McHale, and Marielle Rowan took eighth in 4:28.85, While some team members were disappointed with their races, overall the championships were encouraging, Waterloo’s young sprint team shows a lot of promise for the future, while the distance runners benefitted from a mixture of rookies and veterans. As for the present, the team has pinned its CIAU hopes and best wishes on Paul Ernst tomorrow and Harvy Mitro, in his final race as a Warrior, tonight.

C-R squash evenly matched Soviet A Division of Gord de Pass, Jim Kile, and Brian Schoenhofer who following their round-robin were in a three-way tie for first place. A playoff resulted, after which an unfortunate injury to Jim, came down to an exciting game between Gord and Brian, with the former advancing to the championship round.

In the end, it was Keith Pilkey on top in the A Division, Shaun Rangnekar in the B Division making his five matches of the tournament worthwhile, and Samuel Cheng rounding off the men’s tournament in the C Division.

by Colleen O’Neil The squash courts were alive with action March 5 and 8 for the C-R International Squash Tournament. In total, 55 men and women participated in the two day event, with levels ranging from novice to advanced.

Following early round-robin preliminaries, the women’s finals were held on Sunday morning. In the end, there was Vera Dorn, Isabelle Kimita, and Wendy Farmer on top in their respective pools.

in the meet. She won the SOmetre and. loo-metre freestyles in new record times and also added a victory - and yet another record - for her swim in the lo&metre backstroke.

Laval’s Karen Ward was a double winner. Her time of four minutes, 15.38 seconds set a CIAU record in the 400-metre freestyle while she also swept the opposition in the 800-metre freestyle, winning in a time of eight minutes+ 58.47 seconds.

Suki Brownsdon from Calgary continued to dominate the breaststroke events. She won both the ZOO-metre and 200, metre races for the second year on-the-trot while Karen Helmstaedt of Toronto once again convincingly won the zoo-metre and 400-metre individual medley races, breaking a long-standing CIAU record held by Nancy Garapick for the former race.

And what of Waterloo’s presence at the meet? It was minimal, to be true, and in the face of such high calibre competition, it made little impact; however, the talent and effort that got them there in the first place remained undiminished, The lone Warrior at CIAUs was Dave Adams, The native of Cranbrook, British Columbia was 18th overall in the 50-metre freestyle. Except for afinish that he considered less than perfect, he was pleased with his time of 24.15 seconds.

His time from OUAAs would have earned him a place in the consolation final of the 100, metre freestyle, however, he wasn’t able to match it. Adams’ only other race, the loo-metre butterfly, qave him the chance to

l

set a personal best time of one minute, 0.08 seconds in Mihat could well have been his final meet as a Warrior if he declines to swim next year, as he has intimated he will do.

If Adams had to shoulder the burden of representing the Waterloo men, the women were ably represented by rookie Carrie Powell,. backstroker Sue Masson, and the inexhaustible and eternally fast Allison Loucas.

Loucas took 27.58 seconds to place second in the 50-metre freestyle consolation final, the highest result gained by a Waterloo swimmer at this year’s championship. She also posted a time of one minute, 2.22 seconds in the IO&metre freestyle and took 19th overall for her time of one minute, 11.12 seconds in the lOOmetre fly.

Powell, meanwhile, sped to eighth in the consolation final of the latter race, in one minute, 7.55 seconds, and she took fifth place points for her result in the 200-metre butterfly consolation final.

Masson earned a point for eighth in the consolation TOOmetre backstroke event and she finished 17th overall with a time of two minutes, 33.89 seconds for the 200-metre backstroke.

The final points tally gave the Calgary men a 502.5 to 309.5 point victory over the V of T men. Victoria, Alberta, and Lava1 rounded out the tob five while Toronto’s women won with 524 points to Calgary’s 417 with UBC, Laval, and Alberta following. Seventeen schools scored on the men’s side and 22 scored on the women’s, with the Athenas placing 18th.
