Construction delays at the Columbia Lake townhouse project have _forced UW’s administration to find alternative housing for 72 students unable to’occupy their units until October 1.

It wasn’t Brian Mulroney.

The media and crowd presence emphasized that much. It was Larry Grossman; he visited campus August 28 when no one wEis around.

Before he began his round table chat with the invited education personalities, invitee and UW Federation of Students president Ted Carlton mused that the Progressive Conservative leader came to argue for freer trade.

A soft-spoken Grossman maintained a tranquil presencb over the group. He was at times drowned-out by a Wilfrid Laurier faculty member who declared from the start, “Mr. Grossman, 1 am against you.” Economics professor Ralph Blackmore asserted his hesitations for free trade: “my concern is that if we get into bed with the Americans, we will disappear;” Grossman acknowledged his own fears of “brain drain,” (the departure of Canadian talent and ingenuity to the United States for higher salaries and satisfactory reqearch funding).

“The status quo is not going to said Grossman.

The townhouse con knew when they decided to build the September I deadline would be tight, said Ludy.

“They have accomplished a lot in a reasombly short period of time, said Cameron, “It was recognized early on that it was an ambitious schedule:” The students renting the 18 unfinished units may be able to move in before October 1, said Cameron. Once the first 82 units are completed the emphasis will be on finishing the remaining ones as soon as possible, he said.

“If all goes as we hope, only a few townhouses will be left as of October 1,” said Lucy.

The furniture for the first 82 units was to be in place by August 31. However, thb contractor will still be working on some deficiencies in the completed units after the students have moved in, said Cameron. i “We will be looking forward to rlme- s~uaen~s -L---I--L- cu-uyerauun __ _____ r:,, amnw,ll,,,. ing the contractoi entrance when Work on the North campus tcjwnhouses won’t be completed until October. photo by .lmlc+ Nkhdb convenient ,‘+ he said. apartments on Phillip Street Telephone service will probaContractors are currently laundry building is scheduled to being built by the Waterloo Cobly be available by the second working on the landscaping. be completed

Carlton countered by saying that regardless of private contributions, state universities are still publicly funded to a better extent than Ontario’s post-

The PC leader said one of the reasons he is a bii believer in free trade is because consumer agencies, as well as industry and business organizations, have determines freer trade will be of benefit.

After soliciting petitions for a municipal issue while the media waited for Grossman and after greeting Grossman’s bus entourage holding a Progressive Conservative placard, UW Political Science prpfessor R.P. Woo& stencroft took his seat at the round-t able ‘discussion.

Woolstencroft asked how free trade would affect Canadian research.

Grossman fingered branch plants as the root of the problem. .

“It is far more likely to get research and development dollars under freer trade”, said Grossman. “It (RqD] is now based upon government funding and a few Canadian nationals.

Following a growing trend against smoking in the .work place, thaniversity of Waterloo moved this summer to ban smoking in all but, designated areas of the campus.

Revisions to UW’s policy 29, “smoking on university prewere made to reflect a mises”, social change from designating ti few areas for non-smokers to limiting the areas in which smoking is permitted.

The amendments came into effect June 1, The. revision of policy 29 began in January, 1988. Bob Elliot, director of personnel, chaired a committee representing the Federation of Students, the Graduate Student Association, CUPE local 793, plus the faculty and staff associations.

The committee’s recommendations were made to enhance the health and comfort of the university community by providing a smoke-free environment for all fxmhy. staff, students, and vis-

health risk of tobacco smoke to both smokers and non-smokers.

Smokers are at nearly twice the risk of heart attack, five times the risk of stroke arrd double the risk of death related to gastric and duodenal ulcer. They are 10 times more likely to get lung cancer. Smoking is related to 75 per cent of bronchitis and 80 per cent of emphysema cases. It affects central nervous system functioning and sleeping habits.

Second-hand or sidestream smoke are reported to contain twice as much tar and nicotine, plus five times as much carbon monoxide and ammonia, as the smoke inhaled by smokers. Involuntary smokers may suffer breathing capacity impairment equal to that of a light smoker (1 to IO cigarettes daily).

Some 5,000 American involuntary smokers die annually of lung cancer related to second-hand smoke inhalation.

work spaces, reception areas, restrooms, seminar, conference and other meeting rooms. Smoking has been permitted only where ash receptacles are provided in designated smoking areas and in private offices physically separated from public work spaces.

Effective January 1, 1988, smoking will not be permitted in any of the university’s non-residence buildings, except in suitably ventilated areas designated by management.

Enforcement of the policy is the responsibility of management in each department of the university, but all faculty, staff and students are expected to comply with these regulations.

While no formal opposition to the policy has been brought to Elliot’s attention, he said smokers are “finding it an adjustment they’re standing outside”.

He -is waiting to see how cold weather will affect compliance to the policy.

George C. Glover, Jr., honorary solicitor of the Canadian Cancer Society,. has dealt with smoking policies before; “just because smoking is legal doesn’t make it a right,” he says. Smokers and non-smokers have the same right to a safe and healthful work place in common law, “although there’s a definite trend in favour of the non-snioker”.

by Peter Dedea Imprint staff UW’s Federation of students has grand designs for the use of computers in its operation.

Peter Klungel, newly-appointed academic researcher, says he would eventually like to see the entire realm of Fed services linked with the main office.

The beginning of such a future is nestled in the Campus Centre in the form of $25,000 worth of new computers.

Approval for the purchas,e was finalized in June when the Federation’s budget was passed. After’ the consideration of five diffekent proposals, the choice was narrowed to two IBM systems.

The fin@ choice resulted in the acquisition of one IBM PC/AT to be networked through four IBM personal system z [model 30) computers.

The Federation will be running accounting,and word processing software.

Although lower-priced IBM computer clones are becoming more popular at the university, the Federation never really gave consideration to this option, said Fed President Ted Carlton.

l

Fears of incomplete compatibility were cited as a major reason behind the decision.

Carlton detailed a worst-case scenario involving M&aster University where Mac bought a system based on IBM compatibles.

Ensuing mishaps resulted in the total loss of their data-base on three occasions.

An initial expenditure only 15 per cent less than the Federation’s resulted in a total expenditure of more than $70,000 in additional hardware and software purchases to remove the glitches in McMaster’s system, said Carlton.

Federation Business Manager Fred Kelly said he is extremely pleased with the new network, though at the time of interview the networking was incomplete.

According to Kelly, the entire purchase of a system hinged upon the ability of the* hardware to run the Federation’s accounting program.

The accounting software was recommended to the Federation of Students by its accounting firm and as such, would be supported by them. The software limited the choice of hardware to an IBM-based system, said Kelly.

Students advised to check status of- health coverage

Help is available to UW’s fulltime staff and faculty who want to quit smoking.

The university will pay up to $75 toward the cost of either on or off-campus smoking cessation programs.

There is currently no similar program available to students who want to quit, but Federation vice-president (university affairs] Lisa Skinner is looking into providing “seminars on how to stop smoking”.

Colleges and universities in Ontario usually require that ail students have health insurance coverage before registration. this means that unless you are aware of the conditions regarding Ontario health insurance (OHIP] coverage, you may find yourself with unnecessary complications when trying to register this fall. .

1 While many young people are covered under their parents’ family health plan, students who turn 21 or marry are no longer eligible for this coverage.

From the month follo.wing your 2lst

birthday, or upon marriage,. you will need your own OHIP number to maintain coverage.

If this is t.he case and you have a low income, then you can apply for OHIP premium assistance.* Full or partial assistance may be received depending or you estimated annual taxable income.

Students from outside Ontario who attend Ontario universities or colleges should also be aware of their eligibility.

If you are frqm another part of Canad& you should check on how long coverage with your home province’s health plan will continue,

and whether-you need to apply for OHIP coverage.

If you are from outside Canada and are studying in Ontario, then you may be eligible for’ OHIP coverage if you hold a current student authorization issued

by Employment and Immigration Canada.

If you are uncertain about the status of your health insurance coverage, or have any questions regarding your future status, please contact the local OI-IIP office (745-8421) for ’ more infqrmat ion.

Currently, Canada Day at the UW. campus is the largest one day event in the Kitchener-Waterloo community, The event is run by the K-W Canada Day which .consists of Council student representatives, corporate sponsors, community groups, UW administration, and UW organizations such as the Retiree’s Aasociat ion. The Federation of Students is considered a Canada Day corporate sponsor and, as such, it looks after the financial records for thecouncil 1 The purpose of the event is to provide a fun-filled day for the community and the students and to improve student-community relations.

Although students have the majority of votes on the Council because they often do not at tend meetings the corporate sponsors are starting to outweigh them, she said.

One role of the Federation of Students is ‘to sponsor events and improve school spirit, -said Skinner.

The Feds view increased involvement in the Canada’ Day festivities as an opportunity to advance this goal, she said.

Because this event is important to promoting better relations with the community, the Federation has to be involved, said Skinner. “It is not as much the.recognition” but that there is one central representative for the students, she said.

Taking the event off campus is definitely an option, said Erikson. Although it is not an option he would like to see, he added.

“My hope is that the Federation stays involved,” Blackwell said.

One option the Canada Day ,Council is considering is to incorporate, said corporate sponsor chairperson Shane Carmichael.

By incorporating, the Xouncil can work on fundraising all year, he said.

Incorporating the Canada Day Council . is not really necessary when there is already a nonprofit corporation (the Federation) willing to finance it, said Skinner, however.

Under the Federation’s original proposal, the Federation was to have control over choosing the chairperson of the Canada Day t&s -propCouncil . However, osal was removed as a concession to the Council said Skinner.

Value of each scholarship is at least 10,000 per year. Applicatibns for the 1988 awards may be made until October 23,1987. Application forms are particulars may be obtained from the Student Awards Office at Needles Hall.

Scott Blackwell, co-chairman of the Canada Day parade, said the changes proposed by the Feds put the financial decisions in the hands of those who know very little about the event. The proposal puts too much power in the hands of the Federation’s vice-president of operations and finance and the board of directors, he said.

With the Federation having ultimate control over the Canada Day committee budget, an executive that places a low priority on the event may jeopardize it for the entire community, said Blackwell.

Although there is a need for continuity with the event, Blackwell disagreed with the power being in the hands of a.few people.

The control over the event really lies with those who control the money, said Blackwell.

The changes the Feds are proposing give the Federation’s board of directors ultimate veto power over spending decisions, he said.

Although the current Federation executives say thejl wiI1 not veto anything approved by the Canada Day Council the board of directors changes every year and this may not be the case in the future, he said. ’ Former K-W Canada Day COU ncil y chairperson Matt Erikson said the’ Council should ret ain control of the purse strings, “The Council itself is more than able to control its own funds.”

He agreed the Council needs an anchor, but s&d the council would not really be a council if any one member has veto power. x- Erikson said he would not want to see a decrease in student involvement.

“We have to maint ain their involvement one- .. hundred per cent,” he said.

However, corporate involvement also has to be maintained, he said.

Erikson said he sees a problem with the lack of continuity within the Federation of Students having a negative effect on event. If next year’s Feds place a low priority on the celebration, the event may suffer, he said.

Canada Day worked in the past under the existing structure so there is no reason to believe it will not work@ the future, said Blackwell.

If the Feds do not agree, they may not be involved in the future and the event may have to be moved off campu+ he said.

Choices aren’t great, cast a’vok anyway I wanted to write a stirring editorial urging students to get out and vote, encouraging everyone at this university to make sure students have a voice in Kitchener-Waterloo.

However, after interviewing the candidates for the Waterloo North riding, I was less than enthusiastic to advise anyone to vote for either of the three hopefuls.

What does it mean when we go to the polls? What is it we hope to accomplish?

Do we choose leaders, people whom we feel have special qualities which enable them to make decisions in the interest of the common gbod? Or do we elect puppets, men and women who will behav&icely and do as they are told?

It is my humble opinion that the word “leaderghip” has lost its meaning for the majority of the Canadian people, the candidates included. Although each of the three was pleasant to talk and listen to, none had any special redeeming features or qualities which cause me to believe he or she would make an effective, dynamic pr especially well-informed jeader.

No wonder more people do not exercise their voting privilege.

I wonder, too, how we can ask people we have never known to represent us at Queen’s Park? Certainly the candidates go from door to door in an attemp(io meet some of their constituents, but what do we really know about them? Only what they tell us. I talked to each for 30 minutes,, but I feel I know very little about these people. It’s unnerving to realize I know them better than the averagevoter when I know next to nothing.

It’s also depressing.

Communities have -become toolarge for this kind ofelectoral process to have any meaning, Still, try to make it to the polls on Thursday, September 10. If we want to be taken seriously by the government of this province, we have to take ourselves seriously.

The fact the election’s timing is grossly inconvenient for students only means we should try harder to make ourselves heard. _ See you at the polls.

On July 23, I went to a play at Hagey Hall. In the smallest, most crowded theatre space I’ve ever been in (50 chairs filled, 40 more on the floor and standing), I saw a drama that ,wrung many emotions from me. The play was The Normal Heart by Larry Kramer; its subject is AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome).

The play depicts the outbreak of the virus in New York City’ between 1981 to 1984, its impact on those affected, and the reactions of those who weren’t.

Ned Weeks (the lead character) moves from abstract concern to personal pain as the virus claims the lives of some 40 friends and acquaintances, culminating in the death of his lover. His reaction to all this is to co-found an organization to help those already infected and warn those who aren’t. His temperament sabotages his efforts within the group he helped form, leaving him with what he started: his anger.

The play id lar&eLy , autobiographical of Larry Kramer’s ac,tions and experience at that time,’ Y The Normal Heart is a powerful indictment of a society choosing to ignore the situation and a gay community at odds ‘with itself in combatting it.

Excepting Ned’s doctor, himself a victim of polio, and Ned’s brother, the hearts of those who pride themselves as “normal” don’t tare well in this play.

The play goes beyond its subject, presenting personal and cultural manifestations of fear ‘and denial in the face of a new and powerful threat.

.

When AIDS appeared in North America (after it had spread in Africa), it was like some science fiction plot - a “Dutch elm disease” entering the “human forest”.

One unpopular group alone seemed affected: no matter how liberal, civilized and humane we think we ourselves, we heave a sigh of relief when the axe falls on sonieone else’s neck.

Beyond such naturat relief waited an uglier satisfaction.

A small vocal portion of our kind is “pleasure-negative”; opponents of the sexual revolution and gay liberation hailed the epidemic as “nature’s way to clean the streets and prisons” or, even worse, as “God’s way”. While we may have a society prohibiting capital punishment, a portion of our species is quite capable of subscribing to, and applauding, selective germ warfare.

There are many innocent victims, yet the idea persists. that the gay community alone is both responsible for and deserving of this killer.

It’s been smugly called the “gay plague”; history will remember it as the human plague, Moral panic has clouded the fact that a virus is among us.

AIDS has no cosmic significance.

While the righteous drone on about diseaselinked with morality, a virus blind to all national, racial and gender distinctions is killing people. The next decade

In the Beginning m.A

will leave few the luxury of being unaffected in some way.

In Africa, it’s called “thehorror”. Since health care systems there are either/non-existent or at most minimal, we have only a vague picture of that continent’s (and all the third world’s) prospects.

The v.irus spreads throughout; sexual preference is no boundary, no guarantee. #A few years ago, we watched competing bands in Europe, the US. and Canada performing to raise funds for drought victims in Ethiopia.

We helped a group we could easily distinguish as separate from ourselves. xWith AIDS there is no distinction, We have come fact to fact with a primordial threat: the plague. Panic is the true plague, displaying how great our fear and hatred our. AIDS the virus attacks the immune system, allowing “opportunistic” diseases into the body; AIDS the concept magnifies out of all proportion everyone’s insecurities.

Keeping in mind The Normal Heart is a historical artifact and ,very New York in tone, it still goes to the heart of the dilemma presented to the gay community specifically.

What Brpupa doesn’t’ experience trauma when a portion of the idea system de,fining them as a group comes under attack? Freedom tc “come out of the closet” and be sexually liberated was the greatest ex- . pression of physical and emotional emancipation from cultural condemnation and personal self doubt. This exuberance now had lethal consequences, but, like any threat, some tried to deny or make light of it. The gay corn-’ munit y grows with this crisis; still very “sex-positive+‘, , it’s aware of the necessity to educate people about healthy and “problematic” activity.

A minority has much to teach the majority - among other things, the resourcefulness and stubborn refusal to collapse in the face of terrible assault.

What will the future look like?

Increasingly, the gay community is coming to grips with monumental tragedy and moving forward. First hit, this community is best armed with information on safe sex. Having the threat seemingly remote and unreal made brutally present, they’re sobered and matured.

What about heterosexuals?

Duped’into believing AIDS was a gay disease, are they not like the gay community of the early eighties?

The belief of immunity to AIDS holds as much validity as belief in being fireproof.

Don’t think because my perspective may differ from yours I the threat is less real for you. The virus doesn’t care who you are.

All it cares about is your body exchanging fluids with anot her body. The methods and styles of the exchange are irrelevant: mundane or exotic, your first time or thousandth.

It takes only one infected partner (displaying no symptoms) to dramatically shorten your life span, You in

So said T.H. Huxley in 1860 when, after demolishing Bishop “Soapy Sam” Wilberforce in a famous debate on evolution at a meeting of the British Association, he was asked whether he would continue his campaign against creationism,‘Poor Thomas.

How could he have known?

Since Huxley’s time, the holy war against evolution has been raging on every conceivable front. Popular evangelical broadcasts have denounced evolution as nothing more than the “Sat anic” religion of secular humanists while concerned parent groups, trying to protect the precious bodily fluids of their children, have organized to protest the use of what they call “secular” textbooks in elementary and junior high schools.

In some areas of the Bible belt in the southern states, the word that best describes the reaction of these self-appointed guardians of modem morality might-be “hysteria”.

1987 For those of you reading us for the first time, this is Imprint, Waterloo’s student newspaper.

Our main objective is to be a channel of communication with, by and for students.

As the above quote suggests, Imprint is only as good as the people who contribute to it. We have four paid, fulltime staff members (editor, business manager, production manager and advertising manager), and this summer’s editions showed that they know what they’re doing.

They certainly can’t put out the paper by themselves, though.

Imprint needs students at every level, from proofreaders and headline writers to assistant editor, to result in a quality newspaper; Anybody who’s L interested in finding out what’s involved in putting

together a weekly newspaper is more than welcome to come down to CC 140 and visit.

From the outside, it would seem that all any newspaper needs are writers and photographers.

After all, they get I their names in the paper,’ which isn’t so bad. The truth to the matter is that the fun only begins when those writers and photographers are done their work.

After editors in news; arts and sports check the articles (or “copy”) for accuracy, the copy gets sent through our typesetting machine, emerging in camera-ready form.

It’s up to our layout people to take the copy and photos and make them pleasing to the reader’s eye. These are any newspaper’s unsung heroes.

If you’ve got two (or more] free hours a week, and you’d like to be a part of Imprint, we’d love to meet you. W’ho knows, you might wind up like a former Imprint staff member, who was the editor of this year’s mathNEWS frosh issue.

Hello, and Welcome

’

by Chris Gerrard [a pseudonym) Imprint staff Well, here we are, all ready to start a new term. Before all that serious stuff of assignments, midterms, papers, finals, et cetera, we get to spend a week of mindless abandon known as frosh week.

Being away on a work-term, I will not be participating in this one, although I have seen three so far at this university.

I remember coming to this campus five (oh my god! five!) years ago, a scared high school student, not really knowing what was going on. I did not have the advantage of being a “senior” anymore - it was like being back in Grade 9 again. But this time I was away from home, and that made a big difference.

My five years on this campus (and off it on work-terms) have been the most dynamic years of my life. I changed careers twice, watched my parents struggle through a bitter separation, studied like I have never studied in my life, met a lot of really wonderful people, became a Catholic, attempted a bit of journalism, got involved in theatre, learned how to ‘swim and then started teaching others and became a life guard, went through the ups and downs of a wonderful relationship with another man, . . .

00~s.

Just gave myself: away. Here ‘you thoukht ‘that. this column w+,just going to be some one’s boring account of “what I went through when I,was.. .” But I fooled you. You see, I neglected to mention something.

Nothing important, really, but y’ou might be interested.

The most montimentous event pf my university career so far hasbeen coming to terms with my own sexuality.

I am gay.

There. I said it. Well, that really was not so bad. Ii was a little nervous that you might not take it to well, but once you get used to the idea, I am sure things will be just fine, After all, what is the big deal? Sure, I guess it is a little bit different - not probably what you are used to. I remember when I was in high school, there were no gay people there. Or were there, I went to a high schoql of 2,100 students, and 300 staff - 2,400 people in total. Statistically, that means there were at least 240 gay men and women at my high school. What?! That is preposterous!

Not my high school!

One of university’s greatest benefits is that if induces a tremendous amount of growth in all the people’that are part of the university community.

Academic institutions are notorious for being breeding grounds of liberalism and open thought (thank God for that). Here 1 was exposed to many different views. and ideologies, and I had to deal with them. And that has been one of the more rewirding experiences of my travel through postsecondary education.

You face the same challenge. I am presenting you with one right here. If you are straight, and you have never faced another gay person (that yau know of, that is), and if you have some pretty set stereotypical ideas about “gays”, I hope I may be able to broaden your perspective.

Just to give you some pointers, not all gay men have limp wrists and talk with exaggerated S’s or lisps. Not all gay women (yes, there are gay women) wear men’s clothing. Oh, yes, of course some do, but then I know of some straight folks that do those things too, so, so much for stereotypes.

It is usually pretty hard to tell who is gay and who is not, You never know.

Maybe your roommate, maybe your prof, or your don or proctor, maybe even one of the ladies at the cashier’s desk in Needles Hall!

Kind of-scary, eh?

But do not worry. Most of us do not bite. And we are even real people. We eat, drink, dance, swim, play football, sleep, and all that ‘other normal-person-type-stuff.

We just happen to like “doing it” with members of our own gender, not the opposite.

In the course of writing this column, I want to show you that we are not really any different than you, and that&e are just as much a part of humanity as everyone else. I also want to show you that we deserve the same rights, privileges, and dignity as everyone else. We are real people too.

This column was originally written by someone other than myself.

I remember reading it and thinking, “Wow! There are other gay people out there, and not all of them fit into the ‘queen’ mold.” I got a lot of reassurance from the former writlaf this column. That is the other reason I am writing this. For ail you guys and gals that are still realizing or coming to grips with the fact that you are gay. I knowwhat you are going through. I have been and you will there. Take courage - you will make it through, discover that there is nothing wrong with you. But more on that later.

To everyone new on campus, hello and welcome, and to everyone returning, welcome back. Here is to a successful term for everyone!

Waterloo Nort--lq

by Cindy ong Imprint st 4 ff Richard Hastings, NDP candidate for Waterloo North, takes a different approach to most of the issues at stake in the upcoming election. .

Fighting for what’s right is Hasting’s position and his campaign slogan. Right for whom?

“Right for all people, all people who aren’t of the very privileged upper class,” said Hastings.

“Ninety per cent of the population isn’t getting adequate representation.”

Richard Hastings ~ ‘What about the cotimon perception that the NDP is the “labour party”?

“Certainly organized labour has a great role to play in our party.

There are problems in some (labour) organizations.

That doesn’t mean they can’t be dealt with,” he said.

On the issue of governmentrun, “driver-owned” auto insurance, Hastings pointed out how important it is for young people who would reeeive more reasonable rates.

“Most of the accidents in Ontario are caused by drinking and driving.

(Premier David) Peterson has suggested spending money on advert ising campaigns and the RIDE program, (but] the laws are not tough enough on drinking and driving.

We should toughen up the penalties.”

He insists that people’s rights and the jobs of insurance cbmpany workers would be protected under the NDP plan, saying the companies will suffer, but not the employees.

“We would want skilled people in those ‘ohs,” he said.

Hastings h as been employed at UW’s graphic services department for six years. He has also been a student since 1968, although he is not currently registered. He said he firmly supports more financial support for universities from the government, “What’s going on at the universities and education at all levels is deplorable.

Funding from the Tories and the Liberals has dropped dramatically over the last few years. Money is going into

‘centres

of excellence’

which

appears to be a good thing and is a good thing, but they aren’t giving any money to the areas that affect students the most: teaching, classrooms, libraries.”

He added that the level of funding has to be increased so there is room for every <qualified student to attend university. “just because you get (a grade

of) 60 per cent in high school does net mean you would not do well in a university setting, High school and university are two totally different things,” said Hastings.

“Students ,with low averages are turned away (be-’ cause there is only enough room to accept students with high grades).

We -are wasting our most valuable natural resource: our children.”

Hastings said the UW administration is too removed from the concerns of its staff and students. More funding should go to the arts and toward improving equipment in the technological areas of study,” he added.

Where would this money come from?

“That’s a complicated question. I’m not sure I could give you a specific answer. What we need to do is rewrite the.priorities in Ontario, That’s something we’re concentrating on,” said Hastings. “For instance, we’re spending a lot of money on acute health care centres (hospitals], but many beds are taken up ’ by chronic care patients. If we spent more money oni chronic care facilities, we would not need to spend so much on the hospitals.

We should pr,omote prevent ion in the community to cut down on treatment costs.

“We* should encourage pe.ople in a poverty situation to get out of that situation and give them assis;tance to do that, help them get an education, and cut down on welfare costs.

“The provincial government gave a huge sum of money to a corporation (Canada Packers) that didn’t need the money to locate a new plant in an area (Cambridge) where they were going to locate anyway.

That is an example of something you don’t need to do. They’re buying their political allies with the taxpayer’s money.”

He said funding issues such as UW’s computer fee controversy are symptoms of a problem rather than the problem itself.

He said he is not entirely opposed to tuition increases as a means of dealing with underfunding as long as the government resolves inequities in the gystsm.

“They (tuition increases] should be matched by grants for students who need them. Loans stop people tiho are used to a poverty situation from going to university; they are skeptical aboti loans,” he said. “Many people are horrified at the thought of getting into debt because they cannot comprehend ever making enough money to get out of it.”

Hastings said he approves of the university’s co-op program, particularly in the arts, which gives students aq opportunity to pay their way through university without having to work part-time during the terh.

He said it is unfortunate the program

has

led

sorqe

to

believe

they are at university to get a job, but added he doesn’t look at it that way.

“I’m here to learn something, get a better awareness of myself and the world around me. I think we !have to provide a means of getting an education which will give some experience in the work force and help (students) to grow

“We need to encourage adequate, affordable housing.

We should discourage speculation, encourage more subsidized

“Universities should require all students to take a reasonably high number of courses in the humanities.

The course load is tqo high in many of the sciences.

You don’t need to teach them every little thing. If they can think for themselves, they can figure the little things out. Many mdre humanities graduates end up as managers than do engineering graduates because they irv;s how to think for them.

As for the housing situation, always a problem for students, Hastings said it as solely a stu-

like Brighton.”

What about complaints that subsidized housing leads to ghetto situations?

“Only if you build ghettos,” Hastings responded.

“People > have to be able to live with dignitY+” He said more money should be spent on building new student residences and on improving exist ing ones, Hastings also expressed the opinion that students should make an effort to vote.

“It is essential that the stu-

should be set aside for faculty and staffing; there should be an increase in the amount spent on capital and the total budget for university funding would have to be increased’ she added.

How much of an increase would she recommend?

She’s not sure. Party leader Larry Grossman responded more specifically to a similar question by promising a $220 million increase over the next three years,a five-year capital grants fund of $400 million and an increase of $68 ‘million in faculty renewal funds. It’s a promise Witmer said she believes would be lived up

Progressive Conservative candidate Elizabeth Witmer believes she has a fighting chance in the-up-coming election.

“I enjgy working *i&and for people. I find it challenging and rewarding and I have a lot of energy,” Witmer said her experience in the field of ‘education (she has been chairman of the board of trustees for the Waterloo County Board of Education since 1984) has made her aware of the issues facing students and educators.

Education is a top priority yet the Peterson government has not lived up to its promise to put more money into education, she said.

“We’ve seen a complete reversal. The contribution (toward education) actually decreased over the last two years.”

Witmer can find plenty to criticize in the ,Liberal budget.

“I don’t believe their record is good,” said Wittier.

“I’m concerned about the free spending.

They [the goyernment) have I made no effort to pay off the debt and they didn’t put any of that money toward education.

“They increased the civil service by 4,600 workers.

dents get out and vote. The timing is not only unfortunate, but a deliberate attempt by David Peterson to water down effects of a student vote because he knows how frustrated students are with the way he has treated them.” .As for the need for a mandate from the people for the free trade talks, Hastings said it’s simply not true.

“Ther‘e was no indication from Peterson to date that he would be saying anything at trade talks that Couldnot be supported bY the Democrats (in the US.) or the (federal] Tories.

“Absolutel.!

She said she favours rooming and boarding houses for students within the Waterloo North riding.

“We have to provide incentives to people in the communit to rent to students,” she sai B .

“We have to work with the university.” &She supports the &-op program at UW, stating it provides students with a good opportunity for on-the-job training.

“The function of any university is to train individuals for employment.”

Employment is a major issue for Witmer, who is concerned with preserving existing jobs for Canadians (although she did suggest getting rid of the 4,600 extra civil seritants hired by the Liberals).

The issue of employment fits right in with the issue of free trade, she said.

“We’ve seen protectionism in, the United States. They have tried to close the doors on our softwood lumber and our steel, We need td encourage our eco‘nomic prospects and preserve existingcjobs.”

Do people understand free trade? She doesn’t think so.

Does she understand it? “I ’ have a better understanding of it than I did before.”

Witmer is campaigning on a slogan of providing “a strong voice” for Waterloo North. Ironically, the motto is barely legible in tiny white print on her roadside signs, When asked about this contradiction, she sighed: “It was a mistake.

It’s very embarrassing, but there was nothing we could do. The money hqd already been spent. Next ’ time I will make sure that the signs can be read!”

Does she think she might win? * “I do feel I have a good chance this time. People from all three parties are working with us.

,

Liberal incumbent Herb Epp is confident he will still be employed on September 11. In the 1985 provincial election, he received 54 per cent of the votes cast in the Waterloo North riding; today, recent polls suggest the Liberals hold a much stronger position than two years ago, His 10 years of experience have shown in a campaign dramatically more visible than those of his two challengers.

Epp was expected to receive a cabinet position after David Peterson was sworn in as premier, but expectations fell short. However, he does not see this as hurting his chances of re-election and is hopeful for the future.

A pamphlet distributed by the Liberal party outlines a great number of issues and concerns, Asked if the Liberal agenda was perhaps over-ambitious, Epp said he felt it was not. “We’re talking about a eriod of four ‘jrears. I don’t thin f: it is unrealistic, but it will require a lot of hard work [to implement all the ideas and changes).”

One of the top priorities is education, especially primary education Imprint asked Epp if he thought post-secondary education would receive as much attention and funding. In response, he pointed out that the Liberal government has established a $100 million “excellence fund’ for selected universities and also has provided $50 million for capital projects, mainly construction.

What about complaints that too much funding goes for computer research and development?

“The University of Waterloo is a very computer-conscious university,” said Epp. “It will be the research and computer centre in Canada.

That’s very important these days if we want to keep up with the rest of the world and maintain our position as a world’ leader in computer development.”

As for research and development in the area of telecommunicat ion, Epp expressed the opinion that Canada has a leadership role in the world. In spite of all the positive aspects to funding computing resources, students reacted unfavourably to a computer fee demanded by the university last year, How does he feel about the student reaction to the institution of the computer fee?

“I would have preferred to see the government give more money to the university, but if it can’t, the university has to find alternate ways. I’m not saying I’m in favour of computer fees, but the university has to do something.”

Epp said regular tuition should be increased rather than having universities charge incidental fees, which are not covered under the Ontario Student Assistance

Program.

In general,

said Epp, students are better off now than when he went to university.

Tuition increases have also been kept low relative to such things as selary increases.

He also expressed the opinion that loans are better than grants because the students pay back the money and it can go to help future students. The issue of stu-

dents facing huge debt loads upon graduatibn is not as bad as. it is made out to be, said Epp. University students stand a betL ter chance of getting a high-paying job upon graduation and can afford to pay off the loans, he added.

When asked how he felt about’ criticisms that arts faculties were suffering while technologically oriented faculties flourished, Epp responded with mild concern.

“If that is the case, then maybe more funding should go to the arts.”

He went on to point out that he felt putting money into science and computer faculties would benefit the entire university in the future since funding those programs generates revenue for the province in the long run.

“If we don’t train people to do the computer jobs, there will be no financial resources for the future.”

Would any of that revenue find its way batk into anything but more computer R & D? “Maybe not directly . . . it is a bit of a vicious circle. University is not the same as it was 200,300 years ago. Back then, it was a more leisurely pursuit, more em-

phasis on learning.

Society is changing.

People are more concerned about earning a living.”

When asked if he felt the overwhelming concern with making money was a good thing, he replied: “I don’t have any difficulties with it. I know some people do and I respect their position,” He believes the university has made good use of the funds it has x received so far from the provincial government, but points to the many other applications for funding from such areas as provincial health services and-other social services.

Primary education seems to be more of a priority for the Peterson government at this point in time.

Epp, however, said the university vote is important to the goHerb Epp vernment despite claims by student group that the timing of vote was important to him. the election will disenfranchise He pointed out that the premany students.

The timing has mier needs a mandate of some been criticized by many student kind from the.people before the groups, including the Ontario tabling of a proposal on free Federation of Students and UW’s trade scheduled for October 5. own student government (FederThe issue is an important one, ation of Students President Ted yet it is not understood by many Carlton called the timing a “slap people, he said in the face” for students).

“We have to keep our options He admitted that he preferred open. I know that sounds like a campaigning in the warm Gishy-washy answer, but no weather, but said the student one can decide\ for certain right

now, We don’t have all the information. Of course, you have to. take chances. If you didn’t try anything without knowing the outcome, you wouldn’t be at university and I wouldn’t be here.”

What about taking a chance and funding the arts faculties for a change?

“Well, that’s not much of a chance,” he said with a laugh.

“That’s a good decision.”

Epp expressed some indecision regarding the housing crisis.

“It’s one of our outstanding problems.

I just don’t know. Do you give a lot of incentives to builders?

Then, the economy becomes inflamed in that area, prices go up, people start flipping houses , , . you can’t control society.”

Epp expressed some surprise at having ‘hard-core Tories offer him support in the upcoming election and at the climb in popularity of the NDP who have won over some former Grits. Could it be that the people are confused?

Could it be that, in the words of Allan Fo t hering ham, “The Tories are being led by a Liberal and the Liberals are being led by a Tory.” [referring to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Peterson)?

Perhaps, concedes Epp. “When we’re in opposition, we’re more Tory than the Tories, in terms of economic affairs.”

Is he going to win?

He smiles. “I’m confident.”

The-‘City Of Kitchen-er

by Steve Kannon Imprint staff , Kitchener MPP David Cooke, the newest of the areas three Liberal incumbents, was first elected in the 1985 election which ended 42 years of Tory rule at Queen’s Park.

Cooke, 50, practiced law in Kitchener prior to election victory. A graduate of Queen’s University, he was admitted to the bar in 1969.

David Cooke Cooke’s outspokenness has made his name well-known in the area in the last two years;the riding is expected to remain in Liberal hands.

Aside,from his duties as Kitchener’s representative, Cooke has been involved in many of the lobbying efforts by the Ontario.

Federation of Students, a group he called the best lobbyists at Queen’s Park.

“They’re well-organized and present their concerns’ clearly,” said Cooke in an interview last week.

Many of the government’s policies on post-secondary education were influenced by the information put forward by the OFS, said Cooke, The Liberals have shown themselves prepared to meet the needs of the university sector through their initiatives, he said.

“We saw universities were incredibly under-funded, OSAP was under-funded,. . . they were really strapped.”

Since the Liberals formed the government “there has been a real turnaround, with increased (operational] funding and more capital funding,” said Cooke.

A re-elected Liberal government will continue to do more for the Ontario’s colleges and universities, he said. Changes in economy have raised the minimum educational needs of workers and more people are returning to school or staying in the system longer. This reality, said Cooke, makes it increasingly important to fund colleges and universities.

“Our future depends on having a vibrant student population and good research and development at the university level.”

On the issue of student housing, Cooke said students will be-

mercial boom, with no quick solutions, he added.

Government assistance for coop and non-profit housing is, however, having an immediate effect on the number of units available, said Cooke. Waterloo region is already a leader in these types of projects and Cooke pledged continued government support for the future.

Incentives for more on-campus housing might also be considered; such a move would be positive for the whole market, he said.

When asked about the free trade talks, the top issue of the

campaign, Cooke said the deal was destined to die in the negotiation stage, “The only thing that’s going to create a comprehensive agreement is a miracle from God,” he said. “I don’t see an agreement.. .

I just don’t see it happening.”

Although the deal might not be accepted in its proposed form [a joint draft of the agreement is due to be released October 51, there is still the great potential in the negotiations, said Cooke. An all-encompassing‘deal might not be acceptable, but smaller arrangements similar to the auto pact may be worked out.

said. “Government has to set some kind of direction for universities.”

One of the biggest problems in the system, said Coulter, is the effect under-funding is having on accessibility.

An NDP government would ensure enough space for all eligible candidates and provide the financial assistance needed, she added.

“Right now we have a sygtem which caters to those who can afford it. There are students who are eligible to carry on with their educatiofi,” but who are excluded due to the cost.

Coulter said a revamping of the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP] should be made to eliminate such inequities.

On the issue of university curriculum, Coulter said ins t it utions should shy away from any trends that would see the sciences overwhelm the arts. This

Kitchener

by Steve Kannoa Imprint staff “If only she could meet everyone in the riding, she would win easily,” say NDP campaign workers in the Kitchener riding.

Meeting candidate Sue Coulter for the first time, it’s easy to understand the enthusiasm - she is outgoing and personable, traits that remain readily apparent in _groups of one or 100.

Coulter, who works as volunteer co-ordinator at Anselma for battered women, is - -House _ looking to end the two-year service of Liberal incumbent David Cooke,

A trtistee with the Waterloo County board of education, Coulter has more than a passing interest in the province’s educational system.

The al-year-old election hopeful also has direct ties with the University of Waterloo in the form of a political science degree.

Her background has shown her the importance of funding for the system.

Increased government cbmmitment to universities and colleges is one of the New Democrats’ priorities, Coulter said in an interview last week.

“We have to work at keeping universities up to standard,” she She is looking to parlay 12 years of experience as a Waterloo County school board trustee into a career at Queen’s Park.

Her background in education, she was also at one time a school teacher, lends itself to an awareness of the province’s educational needs. Fraser, who holds a sociology degree from the University of Waterloo, is campaigning on a platform that her experience “has given her the knowledge government needs to bring forth the special programs - that will ensure our youth are prepared to make their contribution to our future+‘.

’ Barb Fraser _ by Steve Kannon Imprint staff _ Barb Fraser, a s&year-old mother of three, is the Progressive Conservative candidate in the Kitc,hener riding.

Despite her party’s consistent poor showing in the public opinion polls, Fraser remains optimistic of her chances to defeat Liberal incumbent David Cooke,

Sue Coulter ers,” such as low-income families, said Fraser last week.

Fraser said the area’s housing woes are well-known to her: she has spent time as a volunteer in a local soup kitchen and was in daily contact with the people hit worst by the shortage.

Like party leader Larry Grossman, Fraser supports the on-going free trade negotiations between Canada and the United States. Freer trade would lead to a stronger economy and indus-1 trial base, a situation especially important in this region, which will be looking to maintgin its current expansion.

Fraser maintains that the Liberal government has failed to meet the. educational needs o/f the province; instead of increasing funding, the government has actually reduced its share of funding, said Fraser.

A PC Eovernment would work to raise the provincial share of approved education funding from the current 45 per cent to 60 per cent.

On the issue of housing, Fraser said the Conservatives are committed to alleviating the current Ontario-side housing shortage.

An increase in the -number of non-profit and co-op housing projects would be the first step to relieving the problem, 0 she said. A PC government would allocate $66 million for 10,000 new co-op units in Ontario, increasing ihe percentage of government housing aid for such projects to 33 per cent from the current level of 18 per cent.

issue has been a long-time topic of controversy at UW. “We shouldn’t be sacrificing one for the other, there should be a balance in funding,“,she said.

Employers prefer “wellrounded, flexible employees.

This (broad education] is an important personal attribute.”

Another of the NDP’s immediate priorities, and one of major significance to students, is to provide more affordable rental housing, said Coulter.

Existing market conditions and government programs have not done enough to rectify the problem, she said; an NDP government would immediately begin adding more units to the market.

“There have to be more government incentives to provide affordable housing.”

Particularly, there should be more support for. non-profit and co-op projects, she said.

ception in 1975. After 10 years in opposition, he was appointed minister of community and social services under David Peterson in 1985.

Sweeney’s popularity in the riding is readily apparent in the number of lawn signs supporting his re-election bid. And although there are relatively few university students living in that end of Kitchener, campaign organizers say student involvement in the volunteer ranks has been strong.

While students tend to concentrate in the/Waterloo North riding, issues of concern to students do not go unheeded in KitchenerWilmot, said Sweeney in an interview last week. The concerns of all people in the KitchenerWaterloo region are much the same and the area should be viewed as a whole, he said.

Asked if students might feel

excluded by the timing of the election (classes don’t resume until September 141, Sweeney. said the date was considered the most convenient of the earlySeptember options. Colleges and Universities Minister Greg Sorbara brought the issue to cabinet and the student vote was a consideration in the choosing of a election date, he said.

0 “The student factor didn’t go unnoticed.

September 17 was considered to be a conflict with the [first week of) class&s. September 3 was . . , too early.

“The (timing) certainly didn’t disenfranchise anybody.”

Sweeney said the government wanted an early-September election to allow the government time to prepare for the release of an initial draft of the CanadianAmerican free trade proposal.

The joint release is expected October 5.

“We have to get the election’ over and have time to deal with the issue before October 5,” he said.

Free trade is the most important political issue facing Ontar-

ians‘, said Sweeney.

The government needs clear mandate going into the negotiations that will follow the proposal’s retutionally a federal one, said Sweeney, Ontario has the most at stake. It’s up to the government to look after the province’s interest, which means neither dismissing the deal outright, as the.New Democrats have, or accept ing it unconditionally, as the Tories have, he said.

“We are looking for good trade relations with them (the Americans] . . . but we (can’t have) them dictating to our system,” said Sweeney. “There will be no deal without Ontario’s consent.

The conditions of the debl have to be satisfactory.”

Forty per cent of everything grown or produced in Ontario is exported.

In dollar figures, Ontario exports more than the rest of Canada combined, a fact that make this province a key player in the negotiations, said Sweeney.

While free trade remains the crux of provincial matters, locally the area’s housing shortage

is a pressing concern, one which . Sweeney finds is being taken seriously by the David Peterson : Liberals. And while none of the . provincial housing projects has been directly aimed at students, _every new rental unit added to t the market helps all renters, inecluding students, he said.

Projects for low income fami.lies or the disabled, for inst ante, free-up existing units for student use.‘The trend toward nonprofit and co-op housing, encouraged by the government, will have long-term effects on the student housirig market, said Sweeney. The Liberals will continue to support *the growth of these types of projects if reelected, he said. In the last two years, this region has been at the forefront of this trend, with more projects approved than any other area.

Of more direct influence on students is the Liberal policy of encouraging homeowners to take in boarders or to convert part of their homes into apartment space, said Sweeney. Such programs as Renterprise, which provides interest-free loans for conversions to rental units, would be expanded to meet the demand.

Sweeney also called on municipalities to ease their zoning bylaws to allow for more shared accommodations.

Waterloo, for instance, has a bylaw prohibit! ing more than five unrelated people to share a home.

University funding, as common a student concern as housing, is also an issue the current government has been quick to deal with, said Sweeney.

“Recognizing the years of neglect . . . we moved on this issue.”

Funding for post-secondary education has increased 22 per cent in two years, three times the rate of inflation, he said. Much of the increased revenue was earmarked for capital expenditures and to update facilities that had iundown over the ‘years, Sweeney said of the initiatives.

Also implemented by the government was a $50 million program for faculty renewal.

For Waterloo students+ one of the most important government moves was the elimination last spring of all incidental fees charged by the university.

This decision put an end to UW’s controversial computer services fee.

UW had the widest range of such ancillary fees and was hit hardest by this decision, losing $2.7 million in revenues.

Despite Waterloo’s woes, Sweeney said the decision was a good one, ending a system where universities had started to depend on unapproved income.

“I had no qualms about the elimination of the ancillary fees,” he said, “If it was only a case of a few incidents, you might look the other way.. . “ but the situation was getting out of hand.

Major parties respond to OFS concerns Prior to the election call, the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) distributed a questionnaire on issues affecting postsecondary students to all political parties in Ontario.

The questionnaire was also sent to all MPPs and local candidates.

The answers below cover the three major parties’ responses to eight gf the 22 questions posed by the OFS.

Although tuition-related ancillary fees have been eliminated, co-operative educational placement fees are stiil in effect. would you support the abolition of these additional fees, which are assessed above and beyond tuition, as a step in promoting accessibility for all academically qualified students?

Do you believe that everyone ‘should have the right to a postsecondary education?

legitimate ancillary

Liberals: - Every qualified student has the right to a post-secondary .educat ion.

- Increased funding is a testament of this commitment.

- This government is prepared to provide both quality and accessible PSE in Ontario.

Conservatives: - We believe that every academically qualified applicant has the right to post-secondary education.

New Democrats: -Yes, based on ability, out financial or other academic based barriers.

What are your views on the principle of tuition fees for community college and university education?

Liberals: -We are ensuring that tuition fees do not dissuade Ontarians from attending a post-secondary institution and a well-funded OSAP is in place.

PCs: - We believe that students and parents should contribute toward post-secondary education as long as it does not amount to a financial barrier to study.

NDP: - Our policy is to eliminate tuition fees. In the shorter term, tuition fees have to be dealt with as part of the entire cost of postsecondary education fgr students and their families.

Our immediate objective is debt-free post-secondary education for students.

In light of the fact that average tuition fees for the last decade have increased by more than 100 per cent, would you support a freeze on tuition fees at Ontario’s colleges and universities?

I Liberals: - No, however the government supports stable tuition fees and has limited increases to four per cent in the past two years.

PCs: - We believe that the level of increases in tuition fees should continue to be centrally set and should keep pace with inflation.

However+ we believe that increases in tuition fees should correspond to existing student assistance p,rograms.

NDP: - Recognizing that inflation has increased by about the same amount, we support a freeze on tuition fees but on’ the ground that the student share of university costs has been creeping upward steadily for , years.

Liberals: co-op fees are a non-tuition-related fee.

- No,because

PCs: - We believe that ancillary fees should not be charged. Ttiition fees should reflect those courses which are more expensive to provide and existing student assistance programs should reflect those prugrams which are more expensive to pursue.

NDP: - If tuition fees exist, there should be one comprehensive tuition fee as envisaged under the granting formula, and appropriate student government fees, and no others.

Do you support official bilingualism for the province of Ontario (making Ontario the second bilingual province next to New Brunswick), as defihed of the under.

It was, after all, the NDP who initiated the current rent control system, said Cooper. s Although rent controls are often blamed for reducing the construction of new rental units, Cooper dismissed that posit ion as an argument made by developers who want to gouge the public.

Without rent controls+ developers could charge any price they wanted for their units because there is a shortage; even if rent controls were lifted, developers would still keep the supply down in order to inflate the rental prices, said Cooper.

Today’s shortage of accommodation is partly due to developers using the shortage as leverage in their arguments against rent controls.

“Developers are keeping the market tight to eliminate rent controls,” he said.

‘One of the key solutions to this situation is to bypass the developers through the expansion of non-profit and co-op housing projects, he said. Such housing alternatives are becoming increasingly popular and would be greatly aided by an NDP government, he added.

In addition to the lower costs, co-op projects also provide a sense of community pride not att aina ble in either commercial rental developments or in government run projects, said Cooper.

It is this factor that makes co-op housing an attractive and. worthwhile subject for

“With tuition fees raising, they’re (the government) creating two levels, those who go to university and those who can’t.. only the really rich and the real bright can go.”

by Steve Kannon Imprint staff A university system with no tuition fees, a system completely funded by the the province, is one of the goals of Ontario’s New Democrats, “But not overnight,” says Mike Cooper with the boyish laugh that, along with his six and half foot frame, is the Kitchener-Wil-’ mot candidate’s most noticeable characteristic.

The “not overnight” approach to the NDP’s policies is something Cooper stressed in an interview last week.

“Some people think an NDP government would mean huge changes overnight . a . these are long- term policies.”

Some people are concerned there would be a radical change the day after the New Democrats took office, but that’s not so, he said.

“Most of our policies are goals , we have to start working to’ Gard those goals if we want to get their.”

Cooper! who is 36 and works at Uniroyal Goodrich as a tire maker, is running for the second time against Liberal incumbent John Sweeney.

Cooper said the increasing importance of post-secondary education makes that sector a funding priority.

As the basic educational requirements increase, the government must. ensure that a university education is available to every eligible candidate, said Cooper.

While the Liberals have done much more than the Tories in getting these prqjects off the ground, they have not gone far enough with the initiative.

Not only would the NDP greatly increase the amount of money available to groups wanting to

begin co-op projects, said Cooper, they “would actually build the co-op housing” if there was a demand.

Students would benefit signif.*Icant ly from the New Democrats’ -housing program, a policy that wou,ld see a “dramatic” reversal in the current market, he added.

Kitchener-Wilmot Progressive Conservative

by Steve Kannon Imprint staff

Although the region’s tight housing market is not as pressing in her riding, Angel said everyseffort must be made to end the shortage.

Resolving the problem would be a priority item for a Conservative government, she said last week, The influx of new people to the region, along with the continuous student demand, have gradually changed the housing market in Kitchener-Waterloo, she said. The area always had a higher percentage of home owners than the national average, but more an more people are looking for rental accommodati,ons, she added.

In line with party policy; Angel said increases in co-op and non-profit housing are needed to meet the increasing demands.

“Co-op housing is a way to alleviate the problem . . . of ending the shortage of decent, affordable housing,” she said.

Of all the area candidates+ Dorcrthy Angel appears to have the biggest struggle on her hands, Angel, whose Progressive Conservative party is running thirdin the polls, is faced with opposing popular Liberal incumbent John Sweeney in the KitchenerWilmot riding. To top it all off, this is her first election campaign.

Angel, a J&year-old mother of three, has remained optimistic.

She said the people in the riding are ready for a change in their MPP, , True to the traditional businesscoriented perception of the Tories, Angel is a businesswoman. She works for the,Waterloo Management Education Centre, an agency which provides management seminars to business people.

Xmas in September?

. Football

season

starts

by Donald Duench Imprint staff Tomorrow is Christmas for Bob McKillop.

McKillop, the head coach of the football Warriors, gets to take the wrapping paper off his team and try them out in an eihibition game versus the WLU Golden Hawks on Saturday (Sept, 5). Game time for the Seagram Stadium matchup is z p,m.

Two solid recruiting efforts in a row and improvements in weight training facilities have the UW coach looking forward to the upcoming Ontario Universities Athletic Association (OUAAJ season, despite the fact that the Warriors are coming off consecutive O-7 seasons, About 95 players were expected to arrive for Waterloo’s training camp, which started August 23, Of those players, a proximately 50 are returning p Payers. It’s the highest number of returnees that UW has had in many years.

Leading the list of returning players is last season’s MVP, Dave Shaw. A third-year linebacker, Shaw “broke every tackling record” in the 1986 season.

Other key defensive players back with Waterloo are Alan Rothwell and Larry Vaughn.

Rothwell, a 6'5", 250 lb. defensive end, waa on wqyk-term in Ottawa last season, and played for the (junior) Ottawa Sooners as a result.

Vaughn, a hardhitting cornerback last year, may be moved to the rover position in 1987, On offence, Mike Wright should wind up as the Waterloo quarterback.

According to UW assistant coach Ron Dias, Wright is "25 pounds stronger” than at any other time in his playing career. Wright will be challenged by three or four other QB candidates including Jeff Bell, a transfer from Queeri’s who is also an exceptional punter.

The Waterloo quarterback will find himself surrounded by quality players in the “skill posit ions”. In his fourth year with UW, Chris Maecker will team with second-year player Richard Chen at the wide receiver position. Running back Jim Mitchell, who was the runner-up when the OUAA selected its football rookie of the year, is also back for his second year: Second-year player Bob Casey, who suffered two concussions last year on defence as a linebacker, may be moved to offence as a protection against injury.

Depth, or more precisely the lack of depth, is one of McKillop’s “serious concerns,” especially along the offensive and defensive lines. The amount of depth on the UW squad will depend on how good the newlyrecruited players are.

Of the new players to try out for the black and gold, about 15 to 20 are, in McKillop’s opinion, “quality players.”

McKiliop complimented Dias, who acts as UW’s football recruiter, by commenting that “every year, we get better and better recruiting.”

In addition to his duties ,as recruiter, defensive line coach and special teams coach, Dias is Waterloo’s strength coach.

Through the efforts of Dias, the Men’s and Women’s Intercolle-

jOUAA i

Bob McKltlop giate Councils and the Weight Training Club, the PAC weight training facilities have expanded, to benefit both students and varsity athletes.

As the facilities expanded, so did the footballers.

“The change, as far as the football teamis concerned, is astronomical,” McKillop Isaid.

“You can see a difference in the athletes,” Another “very positive step” for Waterloo has been the introduction in 1986 of a Coaches’ Clinic, which keeps McKillop in contact with high school coaches.

Merry Christmas, Bob.

A Iook Ron, Dias, assistant coach of the football Warriors, was a “classic bench-sitter” during his years at Sir George Williams University in Montreal.

He had the time to watch coaches make their decisions, and think about what he would do differently.

“I love ‘coaching.

It’s a great medium to communicate to young people,” Dias says.

Dias was a coach at the University of Buffalo in 1983 when he visited Toronto to watch York play Waterloo, where he met head coach Bob McKillop.

In February 1985, when a full-time (during the football season] position became open at Waterloo, Dias applied and was hired.

Recently, Imprint asked Dias to evaluate the seven teams which Waterloo will play in its OUAA regular season. His comments appear below:

VARSITY

University of Toronto Varsity Blues (Fri. Sept. 11, home, 7 p.m.)

This “should be their big year.” Three years ago, Toronto had a great recruiting year, and now those players are veterans, The Blues have a strong passing game, with all their receivers returning for another season.

They are “a very sound football t earn” who should finish in second or third place in the OUAA.

Wilfrid Laurier University Golden Hawks (Sat. Sept. 19, away, 2 p.m.)

Laurier will “be right up there” at the end of the regular season.

Of the 12 recruits WLU coveted, 10 will suit up in urple and gold. Wide receiver/ E:icker Ken Evraire returns, as do a host of large players, such as 6'4", 275 pound Dave Webster.

Former UW basketball player Peter Savich was selected to attend an International Basketball Association (IBA) all-star training camp which began yesterday (Sept. 3) in Fresno, Calif.

Ten to twelve players will be selected from.the camp to represent the IBA on a tour of the Far East later this month. Savich, 6’4”, was among five players to be invited to the camp following a mini-camp held August 1-2 in Toronto. Other mini-camps were held in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

In his five basketball seasons at Waterloo, Savich established many school records and played in the CIAU national championship game three times.

Ironically, 21 players were chosen for the camp. Savich’s now-retired uniform number at Waterloo was 21. .

The IBA, which restricts a player’s maximum height to 6’4”, hopes to conduct its first season next summer. One of the league’s

sists.

Both men’s and women‘s basketball teams were successful.

The Warriors, with only three returning players, lost to Windsor in the 0-QAA final, while the Bananas had a 22-3 season.

Waterloo hosted the 0-QAA track meet and introduced Banana field hockey and volleyball teams that season.

The University of Waterloo celebrates its 36th anniversary this year, To commemorate this achievement, Imprint Sports presents the first of a two-part review of Waterloo athletics.

1966 -67

In the summer of 1657, about seventy engineering students were enrolled as the first class of the new Waterloo College Associate Faculties (WCAF).

Later that year, WCAF built Seagram Stadium, with help from the City of Waterloo and Seagrams.

Over at Waterloo College (now WLU), the football team, known as the, Mules, had an 0-7 season.

Their ‘coach, on a part-time basis, was Waterloo College alumnus Carl Totzke.

'1958 - 59 Totzke became the full-time athletic,director at Waterloo College, with a staff of none. The Mules, who now represented both Waterloo College and the Associate Faculties, had another O-7 season.

I

1959 -60 The Mules found success on the gridiron, defeating Carleton College $0-6. This results in a 1-6 seasdn.

1960 -61 With the two universities officially split, the, first University of Waterloo Warrior&‘. teams were active thab: aeason3.# They : colligiate Athletic &sociation,, 1 (OIAA).

The football Warriors, led by -7: Dick Aldridge, had a 2-5 season.

Aldridge also played on the Wa. terloo basketball team.

During their season, the first Waterloo Warrior Weekend (WA WA WEB) was held. The WA WA WEE was similar to a Homecoming weekend, except that there were no UW graduates to come home, _ 1 The first UW basketball coach was Dan Pugliese; his first Wal . terloo team had d 20-2 overall record, and won the .OI Achampionship ,with a .8X! .If eag@ record. The Warriobs were led by Bill Jones, who played the entire season with a cast on his left hand, due to an injury suffered in the first UW game. Jones was the first recipient of the HageySeigfried Trophy as basketball MVP. At this time, UW basketbali games were played in the’ Kitchener Memorial Auditorium.

There would often be a basketball doubleheader, with the junior varsity Pioneers playing the first game, or a special at traction such as the Harlem Globetrotters.

1 The rugger team played its first game, beating Toronto Varsity II 19-s. Brendan%‘Connor scored two tries, and also found time to edit the Coryphaeus, the student newspaper at the time.

Waterloo also participated in hockey, volleyball, curling, badminton and golf that season.

1961- 62 Waterloo made a big step this season by gaining membership in the Ontario-Quebec Athletic Association (0-QAA) for some sports; The 0-QAA, with schools suck as 3Toronto _Iand Western among its members, was considered to be more competitive than the OIAA.

They won the OUAA championship [9458) against Ottawa [who were coached by Bob O’Billovich), and advanced to the eight-team CIAU ,championships, held at the PAC. Waterloo defeated Sir George Williams (76-61) in their opening game, and met St, Mary’s in the semifinal.

Although Manitoba held a 6% 60 lead with seven minutes remaining in that CIAU championship game, Waterloo came back to within one point with 25 seconds left. UW defensive pressure resulted in a Manitoba turnover, which set the stage for one last shpt.

Once upon a time in a land called Doon, the SOBA (Southern Ontario Blues Association) had a little picnic. To their wingding they invited several bands _- The Three Swell -Guys, Katmanblu, Chicago Pete and Otis Clay - and several hundred’peopie. And thus was born the SOBA picnic on July 26, all wrapped in a hot, sunny day.

Somewhere: in “them-tharhills” of D&n (other end of Kitchen&r near‘ the ~oI), a natural ampitheatre provides an ideal setting for this annual musical event. The crowd was plentiful (not huge though) and the music was fine. The only minor flaw in a perfect d ay was Waterloo County’s finest men-in-blue shutting down the bar because of a liquor-licence ‘violation: this problem certainly dried me out.

“Who is M. Hodges?”

Despite co-writing and playing on many of the hit songs that came from

the Hi label in the course of its 20 year existence, including AI Green’s Take Me To The River and Love and Happiness, Hi Rhythm guitarist Mabon “Teenie” Hodges remains as virtually

unknown to the general public today as then. Here, in an excerpt from a rare interview, Teenie Hodges speaks candidly about the Hi label, himself and some of the legendary people who created the “Memphis Sound”.

Let’s start at the beginning.

Where were you born and where did you grow up?

I was born in Germantown, Tennessee which, at the time, was just east of Memphis.

Whose records first sparked your interest in making music?

B.B. King, Little Walter, Jimmy Reed, umm . . . let’s see, the guy who did The Key To the Highway, umm . I . William Gillum, Little Junior Parker, Bobby Bland and James Cotton. James Cotton was the first act I ever saw. That was in Blackfish Lake, Arbnsas, where I spent my summers with my uncle. My uncle worked as a sharecropper and on the weekends he would take me with him to the city. He knew everybody that owned clubs iti town. The first time I saw James Cotton, I was only nine years old, so I had to look through the window from the outside, A couple bf weeks later, I saw B.B. King at the same club.

This time my uncle talked to the manager and they let me stay in the kitchen because they had a gambling house y’know, crap tables and stuff.

After listening to people like B.B. King and Bobby Bl~and, to actually cut a session with Mr. Bland nbust have been quite a thrill.

Really a thrill! I thought it was the greatest thing ever! I remember Bobby was recording for Don Robey’s Duke label and at this time, the Memphis thing was starting to happen.

So I think the reason they came to us was to get the sound of our studio, if only for a change. We were recording on an 8-track with tubes then (smiles).

Willie stillhas all that stuff but he hasn’t u\sed it since around ‘76 or ‘77.

I believe OX Wright is from Germantown, did you know him while you were growing up?

Yes, 0.V. and I went’to the same school together.

He was a couple of years older than I was.

For his last year of elementary, I was at the same school. When he graduated, he went on to Mount Pearson high school and so did I. 0.V. played basketball too.’

Yeah, he was a great basketball player! A very popular and outgoing guy in school.

came on. When we finished the set, I was so impressed with Al’s voice. Willie and I had been talking earlier about what w,e could do with Hi Records if we could find a young singer who could really sing, When we came off stage, Willie was sitting at a table by himself. Al had gone to the dressing room. I stopped by Willie’s table and said “Willie, man, you talk about finding a singer, this is the fella, here. . , if we could get him to come to Memphis and record him. . . He said “well what do you think I’m sitting here with a pencil and a paper in my hand for?” Willie invited him to come to Memphis and two weeks later he moved to Memphis and we started recording him.

What songs Al Hias singing at that time besides Back Up Train?

He was doing a lot of Stax stuff like Knock On Wood, Wilsdn Pickett, and Sam and Dave songs. .

One famous- song that you did get partial credit for composing is Tyke Me To The River. How did that song come to be written?

I was in Boston for a gig with Ann Peebles and Don Bryant. It had been snowing that day and after the show, the snow was too deep to go anywhere so we ended up staying at the hotel. Ann and I were both up so I got my guitar and we started to write a song together. I came up with the tune and’ had the title and Ann had some of the lyrics. After I wrote the part (singing) “I don’t know why, I love you like I do. . , “ etc she couldn’t come up with anything that would fit in. I took what we had back to Al and he finished it off. Ann&never did get any credit on the record though.

Do you remember the first time that you met OX in a recording situation?

Gee I . . that must have been the 8 Men 4 Women session, but I didn’t play on that session. During that time Reggie Young, Tommy Cogbil, Mike Reach, Bobby Emmons and Sammy Creason were the Hi studio men.

I was just watching+ Everyday I’d go to the studio with Willie Mitchell to listen ;ind learn. It was after that session that I began recording.

BLUES

by Peter Lawson Imprint staff For this review, let Buddy C-, speak for himself.

“I like this fuckin’ place,” was his reaction to a cheering, clapping crowdreaction at the Kitchener Legion on August 21. What else could have been said; everybody liked the place and the band that night.

This SOBA show packed ‘em in to see a legend in modernblues. This guitarist, who influenced many, has received little of the elixir of guccess.

His sound is a hard blues - imagine Jimi Hendrix, the riffs are similar.

The. irony in Buddy Guys’ career IS tnat ne inrluencea gultarists like Hendirx and Clapton but has remained a respected name without a top billing. His * sense of humour to this situation surfaced tit the SOBA show, playing his tribute to Hendrix and Clapton - very tongue-incheck. He also paid homage to his mentor Muddy Waters; n-o tongue-in-check, just respect.

“OLD” Level 21 at the Mayfair Hotel Kitchener is destined to be the Hoodoo Club: new home for SOBA Blues, three nights a’week, beginning September l2.

-' * This show was arguably one of the best of the year. With a tough young band, Buddy alayed this young (younger than usual] SOBA crqwd. The group,: Jerry Porter (dru@s], Chuck Bailey (keyboards], Dale Washington (guitar). and Greg Rzab (bass), cooked on their solo flights, and when badking Buddy Guy, they moved ti htly, following the queues to t last or to whisper.

Buddy is’ busy touring, but hopes a new album will be possible. Though without a record contract, the products release is in question..

The surprisingly large crowd, say about 1’50 souls, greeted the Research Monkeys’ set with enthusiasm.

The band‘s extended set presented their renditions of songs Iby the likes of the Violent Femmes, Joe Jackson, REM, and Elvis Costello. Though few orieinals were on display”during thzir show, the group played a streamlined set of -pleasant uptempo pop and were rewarded by the audience’s spirited response.

W-rite for ARTS Want to be an all-too-cool hipster? Imprint’s Ah’ section is the place to be if you want to be somebody (or agweeb).

As the most happening section in the paper we need writers and photographers tocontribute.

We try to cover everything that may be conceived as art, we also cover things misconceived as art. Local concerts, records, and movies dominate our copy but we would like to balance the coverage with reviews of books and visual arts.

At present, we have a growing arrangement with record companies and record stores. Yes, we get their product, they get our reviews, aad we get records to take home. We have the :same arrangemeqt with movie theatres in town: two tickets and the movie gets to the press. Concerts both popular music and classical (and a little-:jazz] music are covered under the same arrangement.

In the past our copy for dance and books has been thin. Publishers are happy to send us their latest and greatest if we show interest an4 send them,our finished reviews. Happens too seldom.

Dance companies whirl through the Humanities Theatre and Centre in the Square, but we rarely get someone to take the plunge (take a hint anyone in the Dance Department).

The Imprint Art section has grown substantially in the past two years. We believe we are the best sets section in university print (pretty arrogant of us - damn right). But the old guard Tim, Chris, Paul; Peter, John, and Don will not be around forever (God be willing]; therefore, your participation in this-section is needed to keep it happening.

Come down to the Imprint office (CC 14Oj, and become a part of the best-loved, best-hated, but never ignored ART section.

at Waterloo’s Huether Hotel.

This show happened at the end of last term and was a success with more than ZOO bodies visiting this steamy venue. (God it was hot!)

I attended the last two shows, the Weathermen and Torso Column, but heard that performers like Bratty Patty’s sois show were of equal quality.

Torso Column had a hard set.

The power supply at the hotel was insufficient to dtive all of the equipment.

The stop-and-go nature of their s et detracted from the impact, but they persevered.

The Weathermen presented t*he best -set I have everseen from them. They introduced several new songs, some real ringers here. Hopefully these are due for vinyl or tape.

Amnesty International is a concerned organization tiith an active troupe on campus.

They meet regularly and host events like the Husther Hotel festival and the park festival. Let‘s hope they will continue to be involved in activities, even in the arts.

‘Not About Heroes: Sassoon and’yOwen-)

by Sam Hiyate Imprint staff

Henry

Cterny

and Nicholas

Pennel

in Nat About

Heroes

Great poets are forged on the anvils of Love, Death or War. - In Not A bout Heroes, all three elements come into play. The Love is the bond of friendship between the poets and soldiers Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen.

Tfie Death is that of Owen, scant days before the declaration of Armistice.

And the War is WWI - the Great War. Sassoon (Nicholas Pennell) meets young Owen (Henry Czerny) at Craiglockhart War Hospital in‘ Edinburgh, Scotland. Sassoon is sent there because of his protests of the “evil and unjust “coriduct of the war.

Owen is a victim of shellshock, after four months of fighting in the trenches of France.

Owen, the aspiring [and unpublished) poet visits the established Sassoon to get copies of one of Sassoon’s poetry books autographed.

The two become friends, w,ith Sassoon becoming

Owen’s mentor.

Eventually through both Sassoon‘s influence and Owen‘s talent, Owen is published.

Stratford’s Avon set is sparse, but the play is meant to be sparse: Pennell and Czerny are its only cast members, Pennell portrays Sassoon as an extraordinary combination of cynicism, charm, and integrity, This is not surprising considering Pennell is a seasoned Stratford veteran [it’s his 16th season).

Czerny is a-newcomer to Stratford, and one to keep an eye air.

His Owen is eager, neurdtic and not a trifle insecure.

It is only natural then, that he is attracted to the charismatic Sassoon, Czerny ‘s strong point is his voice, for he conveys both his eagerness and his insecurity in one tone of sincerity.

The strength of the play lies not as-much in individual performances, as much as the mutual passion for poetry that comes across in a synergetic flame.

Playwright Stephen MacDonald knows the audience interested in a play about poets would be just as interested in the poetry itself.

And following this logic, he provides much of Owen’s poetry.

In one brilliant passage, Sassoon suggests a few changes to one of Owen’s poems, taking it into the realm of greatness.

It is this synergy, this flame that melts poets (and to some degree, all artists) on the anvils of Love, Death, or War, that forges all art, great and small.

Ironically enough, Not About Heroes is exactly about that: it is an intimate look at Sassoon, who Eights a noble battle against the cruelty and injustice of the war and Owen, who faces his worst fear and returns to the front, And though they showed courage through their actions on the field, the words they have left behind are more important, for it is through their wards, more than their ,actions they are remembered.

by Peter Stdmpulos Imprint staff The stage: a dug-out in France during World War I. The characters: English infantrymen and officers holding off an expected attack by the G&mans.

The drama: Journey’s End, premiered

by Robert Cedric Sherriff in 1929 in London..This season at Stratford, The Young Company brings Journey’s End to their own Third Stage.

Standing out amidst the host of ShakeSpearean plays at Stratfsrd, Journey’s End analyses psychological aspects of the “war to end all wars.” Although Sherriffs setting is quite specific, his play’s observations hold true for all wars. It is a play about the futility of hero worship. It is a play about each soldier’s physical and mental struggle in a wasted land. It is a play about the- threads of hope that bind comrades together but are all too easily broken by misfortune.

The play opens when 18 yearold James Raleigh (John Ormerod), formerly a British schoolboy but now a second lieutenant, reports for his first day of active duty. The company commander, Captain Dennis Stanhope [Albert Schultz), is Raleigh’s hero from school, and Raleigh admits this is the reason he has tried to get into his friend’s company.

Stanhope is like an older brother to Rale@h and doesn’t relish the idea of looking out for him in a hostile land. Stanhope’s closest friend in the trenches is the middle-aged officer Osborne (William Webster), who acts as his mentor and a father figure.

All the other officers affectionately call him “uncle.”

Stanhope was much like Raleigh when he first came to the -

l

Osborne (William Webster) (Albert Schultz) over some war: young and enthusiastic.

But a man ages very quickly when he spends time at the front, and Stanhope has definitely changed. After three years at the front, he has become short-tempered and boss and he relies on alcohol to help x im deal with the pressure of command.

Raleigh’s hero worship fades quickly in the light of what war has done to his friend.

The dug-out In Journey’s End becomes a sanctuary for the officers. The stage is set with very dim lights, sometimes with a solitary candle. This underground feeling becomes claustrophobic as the officers do the same thing day after day. They change guard shifts: they criticize the Mason’s cooking, they eat the Mason’s cooking, they ‘try to

advises Stanhope dinner and tea. sleep, and they wait patiently for the imminent attack by the Germans.

The climax comes*when a colone1 chooses Osborne and Raleigh to lead a raid to capture a German soldier for quest-ioning.

Stanhope tries to take the mission himself, but is denied. The raid succeeds, but “uncle” Osborne and half of the raiding party are killed.

Raleigh is a broken man after the raid; when the German attack occurs a few hours later, he’s mortally wounded and dies. Stanhope, alone in the empty dug-out, grieves for his two lost friends.

As grenades and machine guns scream outside and he is left with no friends to lean on for support, the lights dim on Stanhope’s hunched figure.

Czars were changing, policies were changing, and wars were waged. It led in - part, in 1898, to the formation _ of the Russi’an Social Democratic Party: the first Marxist party.

Chekhov shows 41 the forces in motion near the end of 19th century Russia with the social drama The Cherry Orchard.

The play begins with the return of Madame Ranyevskaya (Pat Galloway), the owner of an ancestral estate, from Par& The estate is that of her childhood, and it features a lush cherry orchard, Both she and her brother, Leon Gayev (Nicholas Pennell) are in debt. They haven‘t enough money to pay for the estate’s morgage.

That the brother and sister will be losing their estate (unless money can be found somehow] is not a hook Chekhov uses to grip

the aud ience: he uses the many antics and dramas of the 20 or sb characters to provide examples of the various things. happening c in Russia.

Although the serfs are free, their butler nFirs (William Needles) insists in serving as his father, and his father before him.

Indeed, Firs has no identity other than that of a butler; a, servant.

Needles provides an almost archetypal butler: loyal, proud, and always ready with a witty’ mutter, just under his breath enough’ for the audience to hear, byt not the other characters.

Anya (Peggy Coffey) is the daughter of Madame Ranyevskaya. She represents the optimism of the upper class even at the bitter end. Coffey plays the part of a budding woman with the innocence of a young woman who IninKs sne s sllll a girl.

Perhaps the most powerful performance is that of lames Blendick (as Aler Lander LbDakhin) the workaholic busiiessman.

He has successfully survived the Great Russian Dream’when it was still similar . to the American Dream: he has risen from the abused son of a surf to a wealthy businessman.

His stc ,ry is key -to the play, because 1this Russian Dream could not be attained either before his time, 0lr for too long after.

Involved in acting, directing, and t caching, especially the plays of, Chekhov, author Richard Epp was drawn to investigate the relationship between this famous playwright and his fam,ous leading lady.

Through biographies and letters exchanged between Chekhov and Knipper, Epp gained insight into their lives and completed ~~~~p~~y for its premiere in May The play is a peek into some of the moments of marriage, a quiet play for .two characters.

A personality play full ‘of human strengths (humour and love) and human weaknesses 1[jealousy and ego). with only two characters to carry the drama, the two actors must fully command the stage.

Neville shuffles about the stage speaking softly and jabbing humour into the play. Peacock is an actress portraying an actress, everything is larger than life for this woman even.off the stage. They are a delightfully contrasting pair.

The staging is equally as sim,ple and effective as the play. A single set, Chekhov’s study in.his Yalta house on the Black Sea, represents

But beyond these “production values”, the play is crisply staged and allows the solid script and great characters toI run their course.

When it comes to characters this play bulges with the outrageous best. Try Mr. Snake, who slithers about the stage with his hissing laugh, writing lies to trap the innocent, or Mrs. Candour a busy-body-abouttown who speaks most freely, at length, and with plenty of additives to the truth.

This production is blessed with two vintage characters, William Hutt and Douglas Campbell.

Sir Oliver’s plight in the play is to uncover the real characters of two nephews whom he has not seen in many years. In the end, he exposes one as a villain shrouded in “noble sentiments” and one as a hero beneath a reckless exterior.

Both Hutt and Campbell command attention, Their seasoned presence charms the audience.

The BOX turns - up the power Photostory

I don‘t have the right to make them believe.

Sometimes, rock singers express very personal opinions about issues that should remain objective.

I think that evervone has the right to think whit he wants to-think about certain topics.

You can certainly raise the questions, but I don‘t like it when someone says “this is eood or this is bad.”

Fed Hall was at its finest form on July 25 when it presented a night with The Box. The Quebec group gave one of their most inspired shows (according to many groupies], driving the capacity crowd to its feet and keeping them there for the entire concert). Some of the strongest material included club renditions of WoIk Away, My Dreams of YOU, Ordinary People, and Closer Together.

The Hall had spilled over its 850 person capacity andthe floor was packed so tight with enthusiastic fans there was barely any room for yours truly, the photographer, to get any close-ups of the band. The Box held everyone‘s at tention while they rolled through 90 minutes of energized mu&c, Jean Marc, the band‘s theatric leader/sifiger, played with the audience‘s emotions all evening, casually , talking to them between songs and then inciting the, crowd .into mass participation.

1 caught up with Jean Mari: just as he was finishing an early sound-check and getting ready for a bite of supper. We walked to his truck parked just outside the loading doors of the hall and parleyed about his philosophies as a rock performer and his observations about the tiusic business in general.

JM For the first two albums, we didn’t have any inspiration for that type of thing. The reason it changed was that having been in this business for quite a while, we got to feel more at ease with our own stuff, and started thinking Iess about what we were doing. I mean, eventually, you start doing things less with the head and more with the heart,

have to be at ease 03 stage. And that’s something that people are going to be very sensitive to. If you‘re not at ease, you can’t communicate with your audience.

I’ve always thought and I still do that the audience counts for 50 per cent of the happening.

If the show doesn’t happen, that means that the band is not able to put the audience into the show.

You must’ become one with the audience. If you don’t, become viewers,

-when it comes to. kids which are a very large part of the public.

They tend to believe anything a rock singer like B-ruce SpringSteen or Sting says. The bigger the star, the more credibility he has. And sometimes these people say things and they’re wrong about it. Fine, if they‘re sincere about it. They have their right to express, butthey should becarefui not to impress their own view upon youjng people who will believe what the rock star says intheir - own stead of trusting opinion. ~:j,~~~~,~~%~i:“ksrd~~~ .jIM&g% .#&&y~~$~,~~~&~~ ‘+&& $$f* ,:.. .

JM It might happen, We don’t know much about the hardships of this business yet. First of all, we’ve had some success relatively quickly, but we‘re only dealing with our own country and we can do things easily here.

It needs to pay off in terms of popularity and record sales for a band. So, it‘s a huge responsibility and I‘m not wil-’ ling to gamble for anybody else fbecause I’m not a video-maker. i do the videos for The BOX because I don‘t trust anyone else to do them.

When those things fuck up, you’re in trouble.

Sometimes, I dream of coming on stage with just a guitar, a bass, and a set of drums.

But we do music that‘s more elaborate, so we have to bring these things on stage to reproduce the sound we have in the studio.

When I began in this business six years ago, I was the keyboard player for Men Without Hats. After four months, I left the band and formed The Box. And from the beginning of The Box, it was very &ar in my mind that we wouldgo as far as-possible, whatmer that means. If we have to go to Japan tomorrow morning as part of a distribution contract because the retard is doing well, we’ll go. If we were limited to Quebec for some reason; I’d probably be very frustrated, but I’d keep on going. We have reached one important step, but we still have the wor’ld to conquer.

Jeari Marc chuckled and the interview was over. He drove off in his truck and three hours later, he and the band were back on stage at Fed Hall giving Waterloo a hearty dose of rock ‘n‘ roll.

Andy Summers is probably best known for his work as guitarist far the Police. Although relatively unknown by the general public in pre-Police days, Summers was hailed as a very influential guitar p3ayer worldwide by other guitarists.

While Sting has gone on to a very successful solo care& in “jazzy“ rock with his Blue Turtles,

There’s nothing all that special about Beantown’s Scruffy The Cat, except, of course, that they play great songs. It’s the same old story you’ve been hearing since REM and The Replace,men-ts revitalized American rock and roll - hummable tunes, bang-on harmonies, and guitars coming out your ears - but that’s still not a formula for redundancy.

Scruffy The Cat is a quintessentially American band that probably hab as much in common with the likes of Camper Van Beethoven as The Replacements.

Sure, there’s loads of heads-down, full-throttle rock,

Summers has returned to a postPolice obscurity.

Not that being overshadowed by a prodigious, hit-making, sex-symbol, blondehaired singer might have something to do with it, but Summer’s new’ album sounds nothing like Sting or the PoIice.

by Don Kudo Imprint staff

Andy Summ‘ers solo album.

XYZ’s appeal is limited mainly to Andy Summers fans, serious guitar players, and hardcore PoIice collectors., Summers’ playing on the electric, acousfic, and bass guitars pmves to be the strongest reason for buying this album. He layers three or four guitar tracks over each other and some basic drums and comes up with some interesting music.

Unfortunately, most of it falls to pieces when he starts singing.

reflects

upon his latest catch - a new

Summers‘ vocal range is very shallow and he strains it on several songs. He covers up as much of this weakness as possible with a few backup singers and a well-placed keyboard track here and there. XYZ allows Summers much more experimentation than he had in his restricted role as the guitarist for Sting’s songs.

A ver’y influential guitar player Because of this freedom, the emphasis is on instruments and not on lyrics and singing. Interestingly enough, when Summers doesn‘t strain his vbice, .his singing resembles that of Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), especially on one of the stronger tracks, /The Only .Road.

33 UniGersity

The pacing of this albui is unusual, whether it is intended or not. Instead of catching you with a couple of strong lead songs, the material is weak and unispired until the middle of Side,2 where Summers finally finds his groove.

The last three songs, XYZ, The On% Rood, Hold Me are good. If the wholk album were as well-done as these three tracks, th%en it wouldn’t be a chore to listen to all of it.

As a youngster, I found great joy in Genturing with my dad up to Owen Sound and other locations along the Lake Huron shore to -take part in ‘the wonderful past-time of fishing. I even recall journeying further north one summer in search of the great northern pike. Every trip was an exciting experience, with or without a catch of-fish.

At present, the sky holds many -fascinations for me. Big white fluffy accumulations of cloud on a stunning shade of background blue Is cause to strain my neck for everlasting

but there‘s also a generous helm ing of raucous country-pop and a Los Lobes Tex-Mex swing, There‘s the Bo Diddlified skiffle of Shadow Boy, a Jonathan Richman-esque paean to a boyish bout of shyness; the rockabillv call and response rave-up of Up’side Down; and to *ensure the Tiny Days becomes an integral part of your life, there‘s the unfettered charm of Hello Angel built around a monumenjal guitar riff with Cajun accordion spicing things up:

Give these cats a good home Tiny Days is nothing stunning, but a solid, fun, and thoughtful album is always worth your time..Give these cats a good hdme. moments of internal serenity.

After stating these revelations, why do I find Saskatoon’s Northern Pikes Big Blue Sky release to be such a lame album?

The answer is all in the music.

This lightweight pop, with all of its hook’s, fails to land any immediate or extended attention. Simple lyrics that are predictable and repetitive are presented unadorned by plain vocals. Not only does the teen idol crooning and swoonirig ring rather monotonously, but they dominate each track to the point of concealing the seemingly crisp, twangy guitar work.

The Northern Pikes’ first plunge into a major distribution deal with Virgin Records could quite possibly cast them into the same POPular waters that Canadian sweethearts Glass Tiger floated in a little while ago.

However for me this Big Blue Sky is empty and not worth straining my ears.

Hopefully; Andy Summers will put out another solo record and continue to experiment where he’s-left off here. The biggest pitfall for him to avoid will be backtracking to early Police tunes or the absolutely jmpossi’ ble material from his vinyl pactnership with Robert Fripp (King Crimson).

From the beginning in the mid%Os, Australia has always had an excellent garagegrunge-rock scene.

Whether The Missing Links or The Easybeats (who were a fine punky group before their Friday on My Mind Suecess) in the ‘6Os, the godlike Radio Birdman in the ’70s or The Lime Spiders today, Australia’s garage-punk groups have always been among the most intense and psychotic.

The Lime Spiders, current garage kings of down-under, have recently released their first album proper descriptively titled The Cave Comes Alive, which has miraculously become their first Canadian domestic release.

Jus’ don‘t know about the Mojo Nixon feller: Sounds kinda like Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and Dennis Hopper givin‘ it to Jimmy Swaggart up the be-hind.

The music itself, well, I hear some George Thorogood. bluesy rock between Mojo’s guitarplayin’ and his buddy Skid‘s washboard-bangin’ that gets my feet stampin’ and thighs ayslappin‘. There‘s even somethin’ of a Velvet Underground riff runnin’ all the way through Jesus At McDona1d’s. , Just the two of them makin’ all that racket and a damn fine noise it is, too, but how about that Mojo’s singin’? Stuffin’ Martha’s Muffin has gotta have the wildest, most evil-twisted scat-singingsince Screamin’ Jay Hawkins damn near gave birth onstage with The Fuzztones.

Yeah, he seems to be more than just a little chemically imbalanced in the noggin. And damn if he don’t have a lot of burrs under his saddle, justa yippin’ and yappin’ like some blame fool about fornicating, censorship, and traffic jams. But he’s just a good& boy at heart and anyone who hates MTV, shopping malls and condos is okay by me. Matter of fact, this is just abqut the most fun I’ve had with my stereo. since, well, since I don’t know when,

Garage kings of Down-under

’

From their first release back in 1980, The Lime Spiders always showed a harder edge than their ’60s~clone competitors.

Like their spiritual forefathers, Radio Birdman, they owe as much to the early ’70s mania of The Stooges as they do to the sixties psychosis of The Swamp Rats or The Chocolate Watchband.

After a few great’ singles (compiIed onto the Srave Girl EP), The Lime Spiders sound emerged in all its full-blown majesty on Wierdo Libido, their single released early this year.

The raw, muscular sound they found on Weirdo Libido has been continued on The Cave Comes Alive. What separates The Lime Spiders and raises them abdve the myriad garage groups recording today (Creeps and Fuzitones excepted), is the way.the bass and drums positively explode off the record - firmly anchoring Gerard Corben’s grungetone theatrics on guitar and Mick Blood’s tonsil-wrecking screams. The formula works equally well on group composi- I tions like My Favorife Room or B-iood From Q Stone.

Raise them above the myriad garage groups recording today -.

In the garage tradition, The Lime Spiders turn in psycho renditions of a, couple bf classics from an earlier era - Are You Loving Me More? (and Enjoying it Less), originally the B-side of _ The Electric Prunes 1967 monster Get. Me To The World on Time and secondly, B cover of The Electras’ ultra-rare Action Woman.

The third song they cover, NSU, is one whose origins . I’m unsure of.

1987 is proving to be a great year for garage rock, what with the mind-roasting Creeps LP, a rejuvenated Fuzztones and now The Cave Comes Alive, a killer slab of garage dementia. In these days when heavy metal and hard rock have become a flaccid wimpy joke and punk/hardcore a lost cause, it’s up to garage groups like The Lime Spiders to keep the banner of maximum Wv-bF L ‘n’ roll flvinrr hi&.

A funny thing about American roots and ’ country-rock: you could hardly ask for a form of popular music more familiar, accessible, and indigenous to Americans.

And it’s not like the genre hasn‘t has its share of big stars and legendary figures just look at The Byrds, Gram Parsons, even The Eagles and Linda Ronstadt fer God‘s sake.

But just try and get this stuff on the radio today. Forget it.

Trikes an English label to compile American roots Hell, a couple of the bands featured on this West-of-Athens, Ga., compilation don‘t even have so much as an independent record deal in the States and it takes an English label to compile a record’of Acres For Centa‘.calibre. Maybe .it’s because there aren‘t any synthesizers within earshot, or maybe it’s because the guitars wail and burn with immoderate amounts of grit, or _ maybe it’s just because there‘s a gut-full of passion behind every vocal, but there’s something in this honest, back-to-basics music that‘s scaring the hell out of radio programmers and record company execs.

The 13 bands are unifbrmly excellent, but a couple of performers deserve special mention. Russ Tolman, departed leader of True West, is now accorded a reverence in certain southern rock circles usually reserved for bonafide legends like

Gram Parsons, and * on the strength of Talking Hoover Dam Blues from his acciaimed LP Totem Poles and Glory Holes, all the fuss doesn’t seem that far out of line. And for a glimpse of the elusive great&s True West occasionally achieved, the ‘nice folks at Zippo have included Backroad Bridge Song from their album, Drifters.

But if anyone deserves star billing, it‘s Howe Gelb of Giant Sand whose Thin Line Man, presumably a response to Dylan’s RaJlad of u Thin Man, is one of those epics- you occasionally chance upon that somehow manage to answer every question pop music has tackled since Heartbreak Hotel. His alter egoi( Blacky Ranchette, plays downhome country minus the kitschy,.

Nashville trappings, and The Band of Blacky Ranch&e’s

Heartland is simply the best straight country weeper I’ve heard this year - and that in- ( eludes Steve Earle and Randy Travis.

Other highlights? , Well, the title track of Thin White Rope’s Moonheed is a supple, textural, yet forthright song made all the more intriguing by the David Thomas-like vocals. Evan Johns and The H-Bombs‘ Moonlight Crying is a masterful ballad as sweeping and expansive as the Austin, Texas sky. The Tail Gatom are here, too; if The Fabu, lous Thunderbirds turn your crank, you‘ll love these guys.

And Naked Prey’s Dirt is one exhilarating slice of not-quitehardcore with brains.

All this and at a bargain price of eight ,or nine bucks, but the Howe &lb contributions are worth any price.

O.V. Wright was, with the possible exception of James Carr, the most criminally ignored Southern Soul great. Despite cutting albums and albums of brilliant soul, O.V. (which stood for Overton Verdis, believe it or not)

by Paul Done I died a virtual unknown and a Im.print stafF victim ‘of long-term heroin abuse.

During his+ recording career, O.V. Wright turned down a which started with gospel greats ’ promising career as a basketball The Sunset Travellers, and player (in conversation, Iii stuended with his death in 1980, dies’ baks player Leroy Hodges

I- . CHEERS! Wxdairgetstothebottom . ofloWprices~.

.

Me Cry , Ace of Spades and A Nickel and a Nail - performances which can stand with pride among the best soul ‘recordings ever made.

The period spent with Backbeat came to ari end in 19% when OX switched to ABC which was then Backbeat’s parent label (ABC had bought out Backbeat

vote himself to singing in gospel groups such as the Five Harmonaires (with his brother, Edward) and The Sunset Travellers.

The tone for his career was set with his 1964 secular debut (he had alpeady made some gospel recordings) which featured the original Strong

version My Love

of That’s How Is - on the Bthe best cut was on

Side. Since the flipside, the single sank from sight.

That’s How Strong became a hit for Otis Redding a year later. OX’s version, was lost as the song rapidly attained, “classic” status - covered by the likes of Percy Sledge (on The Percy Sledge Way LP), The Rolling Stones (on Out of OurHeads) and Little Milton,‘among many others.

This first single was released on Goldwax Records out of Memphis, but his subsequent recordings were issued on Backbeat, ow.ned by Don Robey, to, whom O.V. had been contracted while recording with The Sunset Trauellers.

Robey, whose business tactics showed an avarice and mean spirit which would have made Scrooge shudder, reminded(!)

O.V. of his obligation and the pattern was set.

The best of the recordings made for Backbeat between 1965 and 1973 were collected onto Charly Records’ 1983 compilation,.Gone For Good. Included in this set are many of OX’s finest performances.

Most, and possibly all of his recordings during this period were made with Willie Mitchell in Memphis, Willie would later take the sdund which he had developed with 0-V. (and others) to huge worldwide success *with Al Green who, with Willie, sold ‘an estimated za million records between 1971 and 1977. But OX. was older than Al and didn’t have the same sexual magnetism and thus, large-scale success always eluded him. However, on Gone For Good are timeless moments like You’re Gonna Make

and the rest of Don Robey’s labels in 1973). After a series,of singles for ABC which generated dismal sales, O.V. was cut loose in 1975. O.V. could then sign with Willie Mitchell’s Hi Records, which had become a force thanks to the success of Al Green and others like Ann Pebbles (I Can’t Sthnd The Rain) and Syl Johnsoh, whose version of Al Green’s Take Me To The River had become a sizable hit when released as a single.

This period on- Hi Records. which l&ted until his death, i$ the subjecf of a new compilation, The Wright Stuff, which is available through Demdn Records in England (partly owned by F&is Declan Costello).

A perfect

I

companion to Gone for Good, The Wright Stuff collects the cream of OX’s single releases and a couple of album-only gems into a satisfying package which is graced with copious notes from Clive “Mr. Gospel” Anderson.

The Wright Stuff opens up with the timeless Hi-groove of Into Something (Can’t Shake Loose) which, incidentally, former label-mate ptis Clay has begun to cover in his concerts.

Later, O.V.‘s majestically understated version of Jackie’ Moore’s Precious, Precious is featured. This was the kind of performance that a younger, more extravagant O.V. would never have achieved.

Here was strong evidence to suggest that his stuff was a vintage which grew better with age.

Further evidence of the .growth of O.V.‘s powers with maturity comes in the form of his muscular performances on The Bottom Line and I Don’t Do Windows, both from 1978, when O.V. was 38.

Perhaps it was the drug addiction, perhaps something else, but in al) of (XV+ Wright’s best work there is a haunted quality to his voice which betrays a weariness and experience far beyond his age. Occasionally, like the shrieks at the,end This Hurt is Real, the haunting becomes a terror of unspeakable proportions., In this respect, OX’s work joins the select company of performers like Howlin’ Wolf, Little Willie John, Billie Holiday and Nick Drake who have managed to leave us moving tokens of their torment.

Despite the repeated attempts of friends and musical associates to clean up and straighten out OX., he still could, or would, not leave drugs behind, After a severe heart attack in late 1978,< the end was in sight for O.V. In an act of raw courage, O.V. recorded We’re Still Together, an album which showed just how badly the magnificent voice had been ravaged.

In November of 1980, 0.V. died in a hospital in Memphis at the age of 41. The life had certain1 taken a .toll, when he died he Yooked, according to his longtime guitar-player Teenie Hodges, “like he was 95”.

by Paul Done Imprint staff There is something unique about a band who can make a five-piece horn section sound grungy and ugly. There is also something magic about a group who can take The Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose’s wimp-soul hit Treat Her Like A Lady and make it EXPLODE! On the new Fleshtones LP, Fleshtones vs. Reality, these New York garage scene vets manage to achieve both of these lofty goals and more. Fleshtones vs.

Reality sees ‘their unique grunge/R’n’B/surf mix in the process of becoming a diamond-hard alloy.

While other rock groups try to recreate as perfectly as possible some bygone era, The Fleshtones are busy combining and mixing past eras with their own psychoses to come up with somedynamic and, thing more more worthwhile. ultimately, Witness the stomping Endof The Tracks where funky, syncopated bass and drums and Jages Brown-style horn. charts are thrown into the cauldron with wailing guitar and group chants to form a stampede of sound which could come from only one group - The Fleshtones!

full-length studio effort since 1983’s Hexbreaker and also, their first not released on I.R.S. The Fleshtones get occasional help from a few friends like Wendy Wild of Das .Furlines and the godlike presence of Barrence Whitfield, who were both involved with some Fleshtones members in last year’s killer Ime Delegation LP.

It’s hard to believe that acoustic guitar and marimba could be made to kick butt so hard - then again Hank Williams never needed an electric guitar!

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff P, As long as there are guitars, middle-American mass culture, and ne‘er-do-wells with a viciously barbed sense of black humour, there will be bands like The Dead Milkmen making raunchy, obnoxious, and just plain funny “scruff-rock“ albums like Bucky Fellini.

A cursory glance might make it tempting to dismiss songs with titles like Surfin’ Cow and (Theme From) Blood Orgy of the Atomic Fern as nutty novelties that are worth a chuckle or two the first few spins, but which later get to be kinda like watching Revenge of the Nerds for the twelfth time. However, like The Woofing Cookies, Thelonious Monster, and a handful of other

young American bands which have surely wasted their. share of ybuth at &-night B-movie,drive-ins, The Dead Milkmen write genuinely‘ strange and funny songs wrapped in enough warm melodies and snarly guitars to keep one‘s interest aroused even after the jokes have gotten just a teensy bit old.

Take Watching Scatty Die - ifyou’ve ever wished Monty Python would take a grimly comic bent, all in the interests of deplorably bad taste, of course, to one of those made-for-TV tearjerkers about 12-year-olds suffering from one terminal disease or another, your prayers have been answered with this one.

And then there‘s Jellyfish Heaven for which the best commentary is the lyrics themselves: “If you’re bad, when you die you’ll go to hell/Where jellyfish will sting you and your body will swell.“ I don’t know where they get their ideas and I’m not sure I’d want to know, but as long as their records keep coming, I ain‘t arguing with it.

Its title is not close to the truth of the finished package; this music stands firmly in the middle of the road of rock, blues, and bit of soul.

Throughout ‘A/l Time, supply .a The best song on the album is bouncy spin, the first one: the instrumental Kiss. I was actbally able to listen to it three times, probably because after “over 70 minutes“ of alternate punishment, it seemed like a relief - the “banging your head on the wall and stopping“ theory. After this, it‘s downhill all the way. The only obstacle on the way down is Why Can’t I Be You, the BIG single, which co- by Don Kudo pies the theme from Love Cats, Imprint staff but actually increases the tempo slightly.

The general arrangement of the words into the music is sloppy and ineffective.

What lyrics there are provocative seem to be overshadowed by the roughness of the music - which at times resembles noise. The album has too many unfinished ideas that still contain probl’em areas. This sort of thing should have been resolved in the practice hall, before being pressed onto vinyl.

The one thing that did hold my attention were the catchy album graphics.

It’s been a good long time since I’ve seen such tacciness. Those luscious, pink lips on the cover might just be a ciose-up of Robby Smith’s popular pucker.

The groups featured on the camp share a common domain, by playing the same club circuit and belonging to the middle class of Toronto’s indie band society.

And the guy sings with this never-ending vibrato which ruins each and every song on the album!

The music on Bedrock Vice is synthesizer-oriented with complex and confusing rhythms holding it together. The first side is a write-off, being merely a string of indistinguishable dance songs. Side 2 is more interesting and experimental with songs like Castroville Street and Northern Civil War Party.

CastroviJJe Street is a simpler song than the rest and Foreman‘s voice is most appropriate here. I could finally hear some guitar

It’s true, Thrashing Doves has a distinctive sound but as yet no distinctive tunes. They are trying to be a creative band and fail this time. For instance, the synth parts are too obtrusive and oppressive in most songs, andin all songs, with the possible exception of CastroviJJe Street, synthesizers are‘ not used economically or creatively.

Lyrics?

by Steve Kennon Imprint staff I .

Is there really a formula for succeeding at university?

Tim Walter and Al Siebert think so and the recent release of a fourth edition of Student Success (How to Succeed in College and Still.

Have Time for Your Friends) seems to support that notion.

Achieving fourth edition stahis may attest to the book’s popularity (most publishers are, afterall, in business to make, money),*yet that fact alone is not reason enough for every student to run out and buy a copy.

While Student Success nicely lays out a plethora. of suggestions for getting ahead at school, it presumes the reader has the will to follow the advice set down on its pages. Therein lies the dilemma: those students who adhere to? the formula are probably already doing many of the things Walter and Siebert suggest; ‘those whose study skills really need a boost would probably choose to ignore the formula.

Walter and Siebert, who both possess backgrounds in psychology, work on the principle that poor organization of time and procrastination are a student’s biggest enemies: students .get behind early in the term and perpetually find themselves playing catch-up.

The cycle soon becomes a vicious circle, feeding on itself and hindering students’= efforts to reach their true potential, they maintain.

But procrastination and a certain amount of laziness are exactly what will keep many students from plowing through the 230 pages of Student Success. The book deals with a range of relevant and interesting student issues, from study skills to meeting friends to avoiding alcohol and drug abuse, but it still reads like a textbook, Many stu- . dents, bored with this *from of reading, may not be ,willing to give Student Success the time of day.

Sure, it ha; lots of formula, but it also has some nice twists to it. The comedy is the quiet, comfortable kind, riot the obnoxious sort that slaps you in the face with its directness.

The acting is respectable and there’s even an interesting theme behind the comedy: the individual vs. society.

you haven’t read the book, then. you’d miss the allusion to its theme. BasicaNy, the film draws a parallel to the book’s two main characters and LRand‘s philosophy. The pure man stands up for what he believes and the pure woman gives him her unabashed supporf.

They tackle the abuses and injustices of their society and prevail in the end. Thematically, Dirty Dancing owes much to the book, but it doesn‘t require any familiarity with the book to enjoy the film.

Most of the film’s interest comes from the twp leads - Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze.

These two add the flair to the formula. Baby Houseman (Grey) is a dull and disappointed middle-class. teenager on vacation.

As the film progresses, she leaves her chrysalis and is trangformed into a dynamic dancer as she begins to fall in love with macho-man, Johnny Castle [Swayze).

Swayze is the ,flamboyant dance instructor who comes from a spotted- backgrobnd of poverty, struggle, and rebellion.

He falls in love with Baby‘s sincerity and compassion when they unexpectedly become dance partners.

Dance moves the story along by. introducing the young couple for the first time. ItaIso allows them to become more intimate as they practice together day after day. The dirty dancing

itself is very sensual and provocative and gives the film some of its greatest appeal.

Of course, Grey and Swa ze eventually become lovers, B ut relationships between customers and staff are taboo at the resort. Baby reveals their secret to protect Johnny from being framed, but this backfires and everything seems destined for tragedy.

Johnny is fired by hisl boss. Baby loses her father‘s trust. And the lovers are broken apart. Because of’ Baby’s influence, h’owever, Johnny takes charge of his life, storms back to the resort, and with Baby by his side, they reconcile their actions and their relationship in front of everyone.

The film closes with Johnny leading everyone in some dirty dancing. The happy ending prevails.

The reason this romanck works So well is because Grey portrays a plain-looking girl who still manages to get the dashingly handsome guy. Opposites attract and so do Grey and Swayze. Dirty Dancing is a film that wraps you up for a couple of hours and makes you want to smile in complete satisfaction when you leave the theatre.

It doesn’t leave you with any loose ends qr disappointments.

It‘s good, healthy romance, but with a touch more insight than a romp through the pages of Harlequin.

Prior to his election in 1985.

David practiced law in Kitchener. After the Liberals formed the government, he was appointed Chairman of the Select Committee on Economic Affairs with a mandate to study the options for bilateral trade between Canada and the United States and their implications for Ontario. He is presently Chairman of the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs, and Deputy Whip for the Liberal Caucus.

iJohn Sweeney have been KJte past two years ii government both challenging and exciting. When I was elected I plrowised to repres,ent the concerns of Kitchener residents at Queen S Park! with integrity and to the best of my ability. Isincereiy believe Ihave lived up to that promise. My personal priorities are to improve health services in the area, to ensure adequate housing for all residents, and to provide all our young people with a quafity education and a secure future.

Where do campaign piomises lead us? What can we hope for in Ontario ,as we move towards the twenty-first centtrry? In the last two years, the Liberhl Government in Ontario hasestablished a blueprint fur progress.

Most importantly, the Government has backed this blueprint with action and with dollars. The Liberal agendafor Ontario is clear; our achievements, substantial.

- We have arrested and reversed the decl_ne of our post-secondary education system. Through a program ojrevitalization, the Liberal government has substantially upgraded operating and capital support to colleges and universities, has maintained tuition ai a reasonable level and has increased the numbers attending post-secondary institutiuns, particularly ‘amongst under-represented groups.

- We have implemented the goal of pay equity legislation for women arid moved tu wards a society in which men and women ure treatedequally in the workpbce.

- We have built and expanded un our health cure capabilities lo ensure that everyone in this province will have access to first class quality care. . s, We have recognized Ontario’s fundam;entaI strengths and made the province an altrhcfive place to invest.

- We have demonstrated to polluters that environmental protection is to be taken seriously. Antipollution laws have.beea enforced without fear or favour.

These initiatives set the framework for flew achievements in the years to come. The Liberal Gsiun for Ontario will be achieved together with the people of Ontario.

But Theatresports is also a sport. The two teams face-off on the stage, challenging each other to seemingly impossible scenes; The scenes are scored by a panel of merciless judges and the team ‘with the highest %score wins.

The brainchild of Keith Johnstone of Calgary, Theatresports ‘came directly for its birthplace! . ifo Waterloo, and from there it .‘spread to Toronto, Brantford and Hamilton.

It. has been advertised, criticiied and televised, SO if yo’u’re missing it, now‘s the time to chick it out. ..

If you’re an actor, or wish youwere, Theatresports is an ideal opportunity to practice acti@ and improv skills with an audience, but without facing the prolonged agony of bombing ori stage. (The judges will rescue you by quickly stopping any boring scene.) Free workshops are offered every Saturday afternoon by veteran teachers, for new and old participants alike to ,expand and refine their skills.

If you’re just looking for a wonderful night out, with good comedy, informal atmosphere ,and some audience participation, Theartresports is the best deal in town - only $l,QQ, every Friday evening at 8. Watch for our posters telling you where you can find us.

Green politics at’the grass roots level

by Margot Burgsse The Waterloo Greens’ are a new political party on campus which I have been involved with since the summer. How did I become “green”?

I’ve always been interested in women’s rights and the peace movement, both Green concerns, but then something happened which changed my outlook.

Pottersburg Creek, in my hometown of London, had been a known hotspot since the summer of 1984. Polluted with >PCBs (polychlorinated biphenols) with readings as high as 20,000 parts

The link between the creek and Giffs illness was automatic. He had beeti one of the healthiest people I have ever known, He didn’t smoke or eat unhealthy foods.

The DOsyand DONTs vour rights, landlord’rights, Security

Deposits

The Landlord and Tenant Act now prohibits landlords from asking for damage or security or security deposits.

The only deposit that a landlord can lawfully claim is an amount of money equal to one month‘s rent and this is applied toward the last rental period immediately preceding the termination of the tenancy. m Pro-Rated

Rent

For four years, the Federation of Students challenged the legality of pro-rated rent; finally in the summer of 1984, it was declared illegal, by ,the Supreme Court of Ontario.

If you find your lease has a pro-rated clause, sign the. lease, move in, and then inform your Iandlord in writing that prorated rent is illegal, and pay your rent in normal monthly installments.

If ‘you need some help or advice in dealing with your tandlord, ‘consult the Legal Resource Office, Campus Centre room 150B.

Pro-rated rent has been a common practice in Waterloo and other university towns across the province.

Pro-rating is the system by which the landlord demands that students pay the full year’s rent in eight installments beginning *in September and finishing the first of April.

The landlord’s rational is that many students move out in the summer month’s, leaving the rent unpaid.

Landlords are no Ionger allowed to discriminate in this manner, and must accept rent in 12 monthly installments over the duration of the year lease.

Poet-dated

Cheques

The landlord can no longer require that the tenant issue post-dated cbeques or other negotiable ‘instruments to be used for the payment of rent.

As an int&rdenominational missionary fellowship, we seek to diligently follow the examples of prayerfulness and close communion with God, which are set before us in the lives of the great characters of the Bible. Thus the people of the LEFI have always strived to keep far from hypocrisy at all costs.

On the personal level, tens of thousands of individuals have been helped and enriched by the ministry’of the faithful men and women who have built this fellowship with tears. and sacrifice.

In my own life as a new Christian, I have found the principles learned in this fellowship to be essential to my Christian walk. The importance of a deep, disciplined prayer life, and the need for deep and meaningful personal Bible study is emphasized for those who are careful to live a life pleasing to God. The consistent example, teachings, love, and prayer support of the senior brethre6, have helped me to leave behind a life of promiscuity, selfishness, and occult involvement, and to take hold of a rich and stable Christian life.

Adding religion . to university academics

by Rick

J&tech

Waterloo Christian Fellowship is an inter-denominational Christian group. Its main purpose on campus is to show tiat one can be a follower of Jesus Christ ai well as an academic and that, in fact, Christ is necessary to everyone.

For this reason, all of our meetings are open to nonChristians and Christians alike.

We’ have various types of meetings to suit the interests of different people. Our supper meetings are held weekly and are comprised of a meal, a speaker (or something else for axhange of pace) and other stuff. For those who would like something on a smaller scale, we have special study groups each term which study and discuss the Bible and various aspects of life. Regular prayer meetings also take place.

-

But we’re -not just study-oriented.

Throughout the term, different kinds of activities take place. Friday nights we have the Mug in the Campus Centre, where people can .sit and chat while partaking of snacks and listening to live music in an informal setting. We also try to have a few major events such as concerts, plays and squaredances.

Finally, we have a weekend retreat in the first month of each term.

If you want more information, keep an eye peeled for our posters scattered all over the campus, or visit our desk in the clubs room in the Campus Centre. Here we keep a copy of our statement of faith as well as a number of books available for use by any member of the university community. We strongly encourage everybody to at least check out one of the four Christian clubs on campus.

Elena Kalugina, A third-year math student Like many of my peers, I want more independence.

We are not children.

Why can’t the folks at home and the university understand this? I’m 20. But if I come home late, I’m in for trouble. I thought that the situation is dif-. ferent in the dorms. But no. The superintendent is always there to pry into students’ affairs, watching who visits whom and when the visitors leave. Stu_ dents’ dorm councils are constantly at war with the superintendents.

Sometimes they even manage to have them dismissed.

But the new ones prove no better than the old.

Many students, tired of this life, chose to rent an apartment.

Though it costs much more, they think they will live there in coqplete independence.

Nothing of the kind. My friends rent an apartment where they are harassed by the landlady: don’t do that, don’t take that, don’t be late. The same old tune.

I mentioned student self-government.

The law provides for students using their organizations to discuss the issues of studies, living conditions and recreation.

Until recently ’ the university authorities did not take us seriously.

The situation is changing in conditions of more democracy.

Thus, the Student Study and Education Commission backed a student whom the . recfor’s office wanted to expel.

This talented student was behind due to family difficulties.

The commission managed to persuade the president’s office to let

-- The reconstruction made us take a fresh look at youth affairs * which we used to hush, We chose to overlook growing student alcoholism though city de-tox centres often reported ‘drunken students.

Alcohol-related vio-. lence was widespread.

Many students awided night clubs because Zhe parties often ended in a brawl.

The law on fighting drunkenness, limited sales of spirits and an increase of their prices have helped remedy the situation.

We have also taken other steps. For example, few dare. to appear drunk at parties for this can end in expulsion from the university.

We are now facing anqther problem, a very acute one at that - drug abuse. We have learnt that students often smoke anasha, a drug similar to marijuana.

Several dozen students have been fined, and some were even tried. But the militia can hard1 control the situation unaide cr .

Student members of militia-as.sistance squads maintain order at parties and near dorms. We have. held several lectures by drug experts. But, frankly, there has been little change for the bet- m ter.
