Embezzler serves to clear Fed deM by Fleur Macqueen Imprint staff With the $60,000 returned to the Federation administration after the theft trial of former administrative director Helga Petz in March 1987, and $19,000 allocated to debt reduction in the 1987-88 budget, the Federation debt has been reduced to zero. Petz, a 20-year employee of the Federation, was arrested and later charged with theft after an audit revealed funds had been embezzled. The Federati~nthus is in a healthy financial situation this year, as Vice-president (Operations and Finance) S h e c a r m i chael said the student services such as SCOOPS, the Fed Buses and Words word processing mrvice did well last fiscal year. According to the proposed general operating budget for 1988-89, the Federation of Students stand to retain a surplus of close to $79,000 at the end of the fiscal year.
The total general funds allocation is proposed at $1,119,770. The total revenue to be generated by the various departments. is $725.350, leaving a projected subsidy of $394,420. This will be covered by the net Federation fee income of $475,414 which leaves the projected surplus as Federation income. Carmichael presented the budget to the Federation of Students council membars at their afternoon meeting Sunday. May 29. It was accepted as infomation only for the time being and will be voted on a t the next meeting to be held June 26. Carmichael feels a nonprofit organization EUre the Federatian should be a b k to rhow a surphu of funds at the end of a fiscal year. He would W e to build up enough money so that the Federation doesn't alwa s need to go to the student bogy for money for large projects. Fed Hall was such a project. Students decided by referendum to pay $7.5Qper term into a 20year mortgage fund.
Allocation of funds has increased to all departments, with the exception of the Bbard of Academic Affairs, which Carmichael said has rarely spent its full allocation. Carmichael would like to see more of the student services making money. id the proposed 1988 budget. $468,650 is allocated f m such services. They are expected togenerate revmuss of $423,000, leaving a 8ubidy of $49,650.

Working disabled call for change of att-itude by Chrid&a Hudy Imprint at& On Thursday, May 26, an employment equity session, entitled, “The Disabled-An Untapped Resource,” was held in Physics 145 exploring the subject of employment hurdles faced by qualified disabled perlions. Representing different points of view on the subject, speakers included Beryl Potter, Meredith McInnes, Florence Thomlison, and Chuck McMullen. Beryl Potter, who is an advocate for the disabled from Toronto, was the first to speak. She became disabled at age 40 when she slipped on a piece of paper. The resulting blood clot in her kneecap escalated into thrombophlebitis eventually leaving her lacking both legs, one arm and an eye. She described her feelings of anger, that the whole world was a barrier, and how, when she sought employment, she was laughed at. She also said that a change of iattitude is needed, citing inciBents in which children have come up to talk to her, only to be told by:their mothers not to. To gombat _this, she visits schools

Car&heel said this fundraising scheme makes more sense than the earlier practice of arbitrarily handing out Federa‘tion mcmey when groups came to ask for it. He stated.it also provides nonprofit groups with an easy way to raise money. This year, the Federation has allocated $6,000 for projects to improve the image of students in KitcheRsr-Waterloo. The Federation executive will decide how the money will be spent, Carmichtiel said. Other new expenses for this year include $6,000 for the Fed Page published in the Imprint; $0,010 for a winter-term co-op student term to co-ordinate . homecoming and the winter carnival; and $2,000 for a monthly Federation newsletter’ to keep Federation members up-to-date. The Federation is also looking at raising $10,000 to support the Safety Van which is expected to cost $30,000 in the next year.
and shows the children the stump of her arm. As well, although she credited Premier David Peterson with supporting the handicapped in 19’82, currently.she sees the 1986 bill C62 a8 useless - having “no teeth”. This gave rise to the statement that it was a sad comment on society that we had to legislate rights for the handicapped at all. Potter sees transportation as a major problem for the handi, capped. Many do not get the service they need. As a result, it is difficult for them to get jobs. The solution, she said, was to make public transportation accessible. Meredith McInnes, from the Correspondence office, was the next to speak. She spoke mainly of Sheil,a, who is a mentally handicapped adult working in the Correspondence office. McInnes says she was, at first, a little hesitant about Sheila, but, after working with her, is amazed at her enthusiasm and capability. She says that, even though Sheila needs some extra encouragement and guidance, it is more than worth it as Sheila takes her job very seriously and has never been late. The third speaker was Florence Thomlison, UW’s Co-ordinator of Services for the disabled, She praised UW citing ’ that all buildings on campus are accessible, though not always conveniently so, Although the accessibility of the campus is being continually upgraded, she said there is still a long way to : 80, Chuck McMullen, manager of Federation Hall, who has two artificial legs, does not consider himself disabled. In fact, he doesn’t even like the word. He has a hard time identifying with the emotions of the handicapped, as he does not feel he has been discriminated against+ He feels thst you have to do the best that you can and that disability is in the. minds of individuals. As a parting shot, he added, “I can really dance up a storm, too.”

One of the”main issues the Pederation wanted to deal with at the conference was unresolvedl There was no formal ruling on whether or not theontario Federation of Students should remain linked to the CFS. Wheu the issue was brought up before a. committee the issue became bogged down as many members were not informed on the subject. The issue is being studied further by the CFS. Among the issues addressed was the Free trade agreement and how it will affect students.
The CFS did not adopt a formal policy on the deal, instead the closing motion of t.he plenary committee called for an election of free trade. One of the mainobjections UW had against joining tias the voting structure. The way it is currently done is one vote per campus, The CFS exewtive now has a mandate to look into finding ways of making the voting more equitable, Fed President Adam Chaimberlain said he was “pleasantly au rised” by the conference, He a‘s mitted the conference was important in that it showed him how> to do. his job much better. 1

COMMENT
Waterloo needs convocation hall Close to 2700 graduates filled the university’s Physical Activities Complex May 26,27 and 28. The school gymnasium is affectionately known as the PAC by a generation of Waterloo students, However, when it comes to the generations of relatives and friends who have watched University of Waterloo Convocations in the complex, the PAC represents a royal pain in the backside. Waterloo graduates like most university graduates, invite parents, grandparents, and friends to witness their admission to a degree. The have little to look forward handful of proud and beaming spectators to in the way of seating, The walk in high heels up the bleachers is treacherous, The women in attendance who are in heels must carefully negotiate their paths over the open spaces between each slick and narrow plank of wood. If the men and women in the bleachers survive the climb, the backless hardwood leaves an aching reminder of the proud day which lasts well through the usual dinner celebration which friends and family usually indulge in. Of course, the university will point out there is floor seating arrangements for those people who have a “disability.” It is not just the elderly and disabled who ought to be afraid of the bleacher zone at Waterloo. The bleachers may be fine for Warrior basketball games. At least at athletic events people can be expected to dress practically. Convocation must, therefore, be moved, There are several solutions which .are possible. UW’s Vice-President [University Services) Pat Robertson says there is noplan for th6 construction of a convocation hall on the university order paper. Robertson expressed “If you don’t overcrowd it (PAC], it doesn’t seem to be a problem.” He, did concede that the floor capacity seems ’ to have been exceeded with the large numbers of graduates - approximately 900 spread over three days during this last (56th) UW convocation. Another possibility is to take convocation off campus, The Kitchener Auditorium would be an obvious choice; yet, there is definitely something positive to be said for convocating on the campus where three or more years have earnestly been devoted by the graduating classes. In these days of under-budgeted universities, the construction of a building on campus called Convoccrtion Hall is unforeseeable. The only way this university can take the proud parents and friends out of the cheap seats at the PAC is if groups like the Federation of Students, the Student Alumni Association, and Alumni affairs take this problem on as their own and arrange for the funding of a convocation site which is typically commonplace on other campuses,

Is there life after graduation? Do you feel unfocused or confused about your career direction? Counselling Services is now introducing a new way for students to explore possible areas of career interest - using a computer! The Personal Career (PC) Directions program data base con-
tains detailed information about 1000 different occupations. A student can input various chazacteristics of a job that are of particular interest to him or her. The computer then sorts through its data base and selects jobs that correspond to the student’s interests; Some preliminary information about the nature of these occupations and the qualifications required is also available on the computer. An hour and a half is all it
takes to complete a career search using PC Directions. The program is extremely “user friendly,” and a brief introduction is provided by our staff. Students then enter information about their ,personal interests, education level, personality, de&red salary, and various other work related factors. By entering their most important concerns first, students can control the sorting process of the computer and usually end up with a list of between 20 and 30 occupations which are compatible with job characteristics they have selected. The list often contains a few career choices that the student may have considered at one time, a few new ideas, and some that are just good for a laugh! We find the program is most helpful for students with little or no idea what career path they would like to follow at this point.

Individuals who have already identified a specific field of interest likely will benefit more from researching that particular career in greater depth. These students may also be interested in the educational program search of the fitiancial aid search components of PC Directions, especially if they are considering further education at another institution. Although it would be nice, students rare1 find* “the perfect job” flashe B up on the screen, However, PC Directions can be a useful tool to help get started with your career planning.

I have just seen the sign in the C.C. advertising the Hot Legs Pub, and I was very disappointed to see the existence of another narrowminded sexist event on campus, After watching the Miss Universe pageant and the chauvinistic exploitation of all females, I am appalled at the backwards, sexist attitude students at this university still hold. I for one am not going to attend a piggish event which is apparently supported by not only males but also by some females in the KSA. This is a real slap in the face after many of us made it very clear to the administration of this supposedly progressive university that events such as the Miss Oktoberfest pageant are simply not acceptable to many of us who value our wor,thiness as people, and not simply as sex objects to be paraded around in front of a bunch of horny, self-gratifying pigs. Whether you realize it or not, anyone who attends the Hot Legs Pub is making a statement to the surrounding community that we, at UW, support old sexist ideals that go much deeper than silly contests. We might as well tell the women around us we think they should get back into the kitchen: barefoot and pregnant. We have made great strides but with attitudes like this still existing, this university might as well offer a course in chauvinism, Carol

Prize would add insult to injury To the editor, The recent proposal to establish the equivalent of a Nobel prize for women is an insult to such luminaries as Marie Curie and Marie Mayer. It in effect concedes the fals’e notion that women do not possess intellectual faculties equal to those of ‘men and hence must be judged by different standards. It is therefore only fitting this prize be named after Helen Caldicott who’s greatest effect has been to prevent the transition from fossil fuels to demonstrably safer nuclear power, conse-
causing the premature 1uently eath of hundreds of people per
year. Her approach consists of replacing critical thought with demagoguery, misinformation and ad hominem attacks. Included among her many brilliant, analytic assertfoas is ‘I,*. scientists who work for nuclear power have sold their soul to the devil. They’re either dumb, stupid or hi hly compromised.” The esta ‘f,lishmeat of this prize would therefore constitute yet one more self-destructive acm tion initiated by the “feminist” movement, Amit abate
TO YOUR
HEALTH
Most of us have eagerly awaited the return of summer weather so that we can be outside and enjoy the wonderful effects of the sun on our pale Winter-white skin. However, that “healthy looking glow” our mothers so love to see may not be as healthy & tie would like to believe. Awarenuas has increased dratiatically in the last decade regar the health aspects of sun exposure, The num -Ii!3 er of People with skin cancers has increased in recent years, and professionals agree-this increase is correlated with exposure of the skin to the ultravioiet ra 8 of the. sun. Some recent statistics suggest that B y 1888, 1 out of 150 parsons will have malignant mela, noma (a sarious form of skin cancer), and by the year 2oO0, the incidence will have reached 1 out of every 100. There are a number of reasons our generation is seeing more skin cancer. H&days to sunny climes are easier to take today than they were even 15 years ago. The amount of money available to the average erson is higher, and there are regular flights to FPorida, the Behemas, Hawaii... On top of that, the atmos here is changing with advaiiced technology; ptl Plution is causing a decrease in the buffering of Ultraviolet rays to the earth’s surface, and thus we are exposed to a much higher concentration of damaging radiation than in pretifous years. Also, the trend that a “golden glow” is the fashion rage has allowed us to perceive a tan as healthy. Many peo le naturally have high amounts of iri tfi eir skin which allows them an increased,resistance to UV light rays (damage can still occur, however, with extensive sun exposure). White skin does not have much pigment and therefore these rays can ultimately damage cells that are exposed with no protection. Blond haired peo le tend to be especially vulnerable, as do freck Yed people, people wittt-fair skin, and children. People who are taking acne medication such as tetracycline, or medication for high blood pressure must know the skin becomes increasingly. sensitive to the sun*s rays. Many of us are likely to think “it won’t happen to me” or “I don’t bake in the riun like some eople do,” It must be remembered exposure to t 1 e sun does not just mean laying on a lawn chair. Exposure to the sun has i cumulative effect, Golfing, cycling, playing baseball, or just walking to and from school can expose your skin to damaging pigment
Recycling on campus WPIRG operates a glass, tin and newspaper recycling program on’campus. The program presently includes depots at the Campus Centre, South Campus Hall and the Rnvironment and Resource Studies coffee shop. Other locations will be incorporated once arrangements with the University Administration and theCity of Waterloo curbside recycling program can be made. The success of the University of WateF;loo’s program depends on our access to the city’s curbside program which starts Iune 7th. Although glass, tin and newspaper may be a small percentage of waste generated ou campus, it constitutes 22 per cent of the municipal waste stream. As landfills continue to o~rflow, we all have an obligation to reduce, reuse and recycle*wastets. The average Ontarion generates 2.2 lbs. of waste er day. Glass containers make up 8 per cent of the total resideatia P waste stream For an approximate total of 1,583,500 lbs. annually or 7~3 tons of glass per day. At glass recycling plants in Ontario, the &id bottles are crushed to make cullet, mixed with other ingredients, melted down and molded into new containers. In Ontario, 20-30 er cent cullet mix is used in the manufacture of clear bottles an s up to 70 per cent cullet for green bottles. Glass cullet also is used to make fiberglass, sewer pipes and reflective glass beads for road paint. For every ton of Gullet used, there is an approximate energy saving of 30 per cent when compared to thee uivalent production of glass from virgin materials. The use of cul Pet allows companies to operate their furnaces at a lower temperature than otherwise required, using less energy and increasing the life of the furnaces. Stack emissions and air pollution are also decreased. Tin-coated steel food and beverage cans contribute 8 per cent to the total resi&ntial waste stream. For every ton of steel cans recycled, 1.5 tonnes of iron ore and the energy equivalent of 3.8 barrels of oil are saved. When steel is made from recycled material instead of virgin ore, a 74 per cent energy saving results. When scrap iron is used instead of iron ore to make steel, mining wastes sre reduced by 97 per cent, air pollutants by 86 per cent and water pollutants by 76 per cent (Recycling Council of Ontario]. Newspapers make up 10 per cent of the total residential waste stream in Ontario. This equals approximately 977 tonnes per day! Old newspapers can be de-inked and used to make newsprint. The on1 de-inking facility in Ontario demands an increasingly large sn B steady supply of old newspapers. A proximately 190,000 tonnes of recycled newspaper will be use if in 1988, compared to 70,000 tonnes in 1087. An additional 45,000 tonnes of old newspapers are used annually in the production of light-weight cardboard for cereal boxes, shoe boxes etc. It is estimated 17 trees remain standing for every tonne of newspaper recycled. If you want to recycle glass, tin and newspaper at the campus locations, simply deposit the materials in the beige and brown labelled bins provided. Please do not deposit anything but the materia1 indicated, as this causes problems with odor and sorting, If you would like to get involved in recycling initiatives on campus, or if you would like to participate in a Move-a-thon litter-clean-up campaign for Environment Week, (SatJune a), call m visit the WPIRG office, room 123, General ServicesComplex, 384-9020 or 885-1211 ext 2578,
rays, especially if it is fram 11:CKI a.m. to 2:W p.m. in the day when the sun is at its highest angle. ’ What about the tanning salons? The ultravfolet rays you receive from the lights they use are also damaging to the skin. Tanning in a salon does not lessen the risk of skin cancer, and may even make the skin more prone to damage by the sun’s rays. On the market are sunscreens with “Sun Protection Factors” (SPP). These are known to block out various amounts of the W ra a that damage skin, The SPF ranges from 2 to a L ut 21. If akin without protection can take exposure of 90 rain-, utes, then an SPF of 2 will allow double that, or one hour of safe exposure. Double-d it SPFs are the most effective. The problem wi 3l the usu of sunscreens is that many people do not realize the importance of its Fe-application after swimming, sweating, toweling,’ sho.werin , etc. The sunscreen will only work properly if.,tt QIi&tructions are followed. j None of us want to stay compleiely out of the. sun, which is the best reventative measure ot all,.. What we can do, Ii owever, is maintain an active role in the prevention of aunburn. When in the sunshine or even on warm cloudy days, use sunscreen with an appropriate SPF, A tan will be allowed to develop gradually and safely. If complete block-out is desired, zinc ointment is available; although, it can be messy if you want to block rays from all areas of your body. Remember, increased sun ex osure causes faster aging and wrinkles as we1P as damage to the skin and possible skin cancer. Another sugestion is to use cosmetics with sun protection f actors incorporated into them. We are exposed to many damaging things in our environment. it is our responsibility to lessen the effects of those that we can do something about. For more write

Selling the Ranch Proviqcial Treasurer Robert Nixon placed a last minute freeze on Western’s $96 million sale and tease-back plan. The deal to sell library books, research equipment and physical assets to the private sector and then lease back over a 17 year period would have raised - $5.7 million for the university, The idea of selling off the university’s assets met with public and faculty critism,,but Western’s President George Pedersen stood firmly behind the administration’s decision. Pedersen told a full house at .Western’s senate meeting that such deals are not tax .‘+loop-holes” and that they are used by both the federal and rovincial governments. The Ontario government+ however, feels t Ke deal undermines the tax system by reducing the federa1 tax revenues from which a large portion of university funding is generated. Aa a result the government has threatened to cut funding to participating universities by the amount they net.

Cutting string s on foreign aid: “Development priorities must prevail in the planning of foreign aid pro rams and assistance,” while ot a er interests such as forsign sales take a back seat, said the ,Director General of the policy branch of the Canadian Internation Development Agency (CIDA) . Julian Payne, policy branch director general since 1986, addressed his talk on recent foreign aid strategies to Kitchener-Waterloo branch members of the Canadian Institute for International Affairs, who met at St. Jerome’s College on Thursday, May 19. The institute, part of a national organization, promotes discussion on Canadian international involvement primarily by bringing in guest speakers. Payne said in the past, Canadian foreign aid has been more close1 tied with the sales of Cana Bian goods and services to other countries. With the change in government over to the Conservatives in 1984, aid priorities have also changed. _
CID/4 looks to the future When questioned, Payne reaponded it is difficult to influence other countries by slowing or withdrawing aid. The amount of assistance, the time span it covers and exactly how you are trying to influence the country are all factors in how effective such mea8ures will be. He described the area of human rights as an “almost in-
herent dilemma of conflict,” in that, the Canadian government must decide between giving money to countries with poor human rights records, or withholding it, thus denying it to the poor of that country. In assessin aid projects, analylW8 of bot!I the impact on women in the country and on the impact on the environment are now done, Payne said. This is
Payne described a fundamental change in the way policy is developed. The change, he said, is reflected in the increased input of parliamentarians and non-governmental organizations. He said recent policy documents reflect a broader baae and aren’t as “technocratic” as they once were. The Canadian government has changed their foreign aid from a mixture of grants and loans to straight grants. Payne said it “didn’t seem appropriate (to give out 1oanaJ when there, was already a debt crisis in’the third world,” (which loans would only increase). The Canadian government asks that receiving countries participate in policy dialogue, setting and working on objectives to show they are interested in improving conditions in their country, the director said. With the s‘tremendoua upsurge in concern about human rights” over the past few years, the Canadian government also tries to promote human rights and democratic government+ in which all citizens have a political voice.
When questioned on the effectiveneaa of foreign aid, Payne replied there have been indicators of improvement, especially in the areas of nutrition levels, literacy levels and in the irradication of major contagious dis68888.
Economic improvements aren’t as clear, but Payne cited India as a country which as improved. ‘I’here are still food digtribution problems within the country, but food production is at a level that they are able to export Borne of it. On the whole, Payne stated he doesn’t feel there is “significant evidence that Canadian foreign aid has been wa8t8d.”

The government has been reducing-this so-called “tied aid,” in which aid money is used to purchase goods and services from either Canada or third world countries. Payne said many aid-receiving countries are in a position to produce their own goods and services, but lack the funds to do so. Thus Canada wants to support such local development by providing that money, Though $2.6 billion annually is spent by the Canadian government on foreign aid, the policy is vague, Payne explained+ stating the law says aid is “for purposes of international development assistance, emergency relief and other circumstances.” Despite the loose policy definition, the government is kept in check on policy spending by the federal Treasury Board, which regulates the spending of government funds as well as nongovernmental organizations who lobby the government with their aid concerns, media coverand policy statements age, issued by CIDA itself, the director said.

Van deal struck in wake of critkism I by Carol timbre Imprint staff An average of 50 women per night were turned away by safety van drivers at the end of last fall and through the winter. The demand for rides ranges from 180-200 women every night and the legal capacity of the van right now is 110. What happens to those who don’t get on? The drivers have been known to make extra rounds but this isn’t always possible. The rest? They haveto find their own way home. I Besides the worry of the present van falling to pieces, (driver Craig Emick “put his foot through the floor”), the Safety Van Interest group presented the supply and demand problem to the Federation of Students on Emick and the May 8, 1908. rest of the committee, comprised of Calvin Tripp, Lee Weiner and Meg Vanloon, suggested a two van system for the fall and winter which would alternate routes so those living in the Keats Way area would have a chance to get home with less of a wait.
Emick said if women get home faster, there. will be less chance they will decide to walk, and thus less chance they will become targets for assault. The committee has been express.ing these concerns to the Feds for the past nine months and insist on the situation’s urgency. Emick also suggested more preventative maintenance on the van rather than waiting until something breaks to fix it. Emick stated “Although the Feds recognize our concekn, it’s not high enough on their list of priorities.” The discussion ended with the agreement to make buying a new van by the fall the first priority, If the group wants another van, Vice-President (Operations and Finance) Shane Carmichael said they should have to promote fundraising events to raise ,the approximate $IO,OOO needed. The Feds would pay for wages, maintenance and gas. Since the presentation, the Feds have been “trying to come up with a soiution that is fair to all students,” Carmichael said. “We’re looking into the possibil-
ity of having a Magic Van on-call in addition to the regular van.” Carmichael said the Feds understand safety has to be improved, but the van is one service that is part of a much larger program. Carmichael believes other options for getting eople home Y3y the Federshould be explored ation - such as the walk-home service the Villages have used in the past and other campuses use now, “These. types of things should be investigated before spending $20,000 of the students’ money,” he added. The safety van group argued the demand is up and should be met as soon as possible. The Feds said the goal of the program is being met as assaults are down and more students are getting involved in evening activities which means they are less fearful of being out at night. Carmichael suggested “the dean of students, and the Women’s Issues Board should also look into alternate ways of developiqg the safety program.” The Feds are investigating op-
portunities to get a used van that would be replaced yearly from Thrifty or making a similar deal with Chrysler. Carmichael pointed out the program must go in stages and getting a new van is the first stage. The Federation vice-president “would like to see commitment in a fundraising event where students become involved” or a “box where students could contribute or donate whatever change they could to keep the van running, Let’s get people to get together to work at it,” he said. According to Carmichael, the meeting raised some interesting ‘directives. He suggested that others get involved: Security, the administration, KW Transit, the Federation of Students and the Turnkeys to name a few. .Turnkey Stephen Markan said the Turnkeys and the Feds (through the Women’s Issues Board) are involved and have been for about four months. They have provided a local ride board in the alcove to the left of the turnkey desk which uses cards similar to the other ride
Words from. Soviet student Imprint
Special
In April, 1985, Specioj Projects Editor of the Novosti Press Agency Andrei Bezruchenko contacted Imprint Publications from the Office of the USSR Embassy in Ottawa. Imprint WQS asked to generate questions for a press conference to be held in Moscow later in the month. Imprint asked four questions in conjunction with the Federation of Students. Vladimir Curbolikow, one of the leaders of the unofficial student movement in the USSR fielded Zmprint’s questions. The following is the text of the transcri t of the press conference where t R e questions were asked.
Feature
IMPRINT: In Canada students are organized at the university, provincial and national levels, These student organizations often agitate against the government with demonstrations, protests or public speaking. If the students in the USSR are dissatisfied -with the education system or the social system, what avenues are available to similarily express their disapproval? Gurbdikov: We cannot boast about having powerful and independent student organizations* Before the students dissatisfied with the way they were taught simply dropped out at a certain stage. As the recent soviet reforms began, so called informal student clubs began to appear. They became sort of coordinators of student protest on campus. Last
winter for instance several thousand people from three institutions in Tomsk, a major Siberian city, demanded at their meetings that their military training curricula be changed. What is the reaction of the institute administration? In Tomsk, the issue was resolved in favour of the students. But it was not the administration of the three institutes but the defence ministry that had the matter settled: the ministry agreed with the justness of the students* claims and promptly took measures to improve the work of the military training chairs. The leaders of higher education have finally heeded the voice of students and decided to expand student representation in the chief collective organs of institute self-government-learned councils. Students now make up 25 per cent of the council members. In my opinion, the truly fair solution would be to increase student representation to 50 per cent, But student clubs and organizations will still have to fight for the realization of the ideals of selfgovernment, for very frequently the decisions made 00 top are not fulfilled locally. I can give you an example of the Moscow Teachers Training Institute, of which I am a student. The decision on student representation in the learned councils was made almost a year agobut the administration of our institute resorts to all tricks to prevent its implementation. A passive position of many students is quite a problem. We have been doing the utmost to make them act, IMPRINT: In Canada the main difficulty for students is to get enough money to pay for university education. Do soviet students have similar prtiblems? What funding mechanism is utilized to pay for university education? Gurbulikov: University education is free in the Soviet Union. Education is funded by budgetary allocations. This does

leader 145 Canadian dollars.) Students get part time jobs as cleaning personnel, loaders, and night guards, they also get seasonal jobs in the summertime and are supported by their parents. IMPRINT: In Canada there are the student organizations of Amnesty international, Why is it that Amnesty international is not allowed to operate within the Soviet Union? Gurbulikm Honestly speaking, we know nothing about Amnesty international and its activities or that it is banned in our country. As far as I can judge by the name of this organization, it is concerned with human rights, In our country there are many Independent Organizations, which handle this issue. True, they are mostly out of students’ sights. IMPRINT; In the west people believe that there are hundreds of Drisoners of conscience in the USSR, What are your feelings about that? Gurbulikov: I think that speaking of hundreds is a strong exaggeration. We, anizations, members of Independent or personally know many peop s e who have been recently released from the camps and exile where they were sent for their political views under Brezhnev, In our opinion, the task of nqw is to have firm guarantee6 that this should never happen again. Our organization comes out for the creation of a system of legal guarantees to reclude the slightest possibility o P persecution for political reasons, IMPRINT: What are the’student leaders doing to raise the public awareness about. AIDS? Gurbutikov: Student organizations have not yet joined the effort to conquer AIDS, This is partially because the disease is not widespread in the USSR: only one real case of AIDS and several dozen AIDS carriers have been registered so far. Our activists are mostly concerned with such issues as the struggle for rights as students, for the improvement of their material conditions a free .discussion of all quesand for tions without censorship or interference on the part of the administration. For us the most important issue is the management by induction inherited from Stalin. And it is the most serious problem at the moment.

Self-directed learning is alive and well. and living at Waterloo The Independent
by Howard Woodhouse The author is an educationqd consultant at severa universities. He is also an academic advisor for the Independent Studies pro ram at the University of Waterloo. Be$ore coming to UW Dr. Woodhouse taught in an African uni-
ronto, as well as many others scattered throughout Ontario and the other provinces. At the college level, The New School at Lawson College in Montreal is a program committed to individualized learning of an interdisciplinary nature that has been running successfully for more than ten years. ~ -Canadian universities have proven relatively slow to adopt independent study programs. There are now Interdisciplinary Programs at York, McMLster, Guelph and Waterloo but only at the latter is education based on selt-directed learning. In the Dnited States, however, Empire State College in New York State operates an Independent Study Program that is found on a one-to-one tutorial system. The University of Minnesota has operated a “University Without Walls” program for many years in which undergraduates pursue independent learning’ and Antioch College in Ohio State continues to offer coo - . erative programs in all fields, there i y emphasizing the relationship between study and social reality. In Britain, the Oxbridge tutorial system has encouraged independent study throughout its history, as has the Open university which has successfully offered multimedia courses, primarily to adult learners for some 20 years. Not surprisingly, one of the most innovative programs is based at a polytechnic. The School for Independent Study at North East London Polytechnic started in 1976 as an undergraduate course of study in which students plan their own programs using the varied expertise of the Polytechnic’s staff. The school has an enrollment of 100, publishes an International Newsletter of Independent Study, and started a graduate program in 1984, based.on the same principles. Back at Waterloo, there are currently about 40 students enrolled in’ IS. (about 60 are enrolled in the fall and winter). During its lir-year history,over 200 students have graduated from the program with a Bachelor of Independent Studies (B.I.S.) degree. According to the written testimony of many of the graduates’ IS. provided an educational environment that catered to their individual needs, making learning an enjoyable process in which students

The University of Waterloo is Fenowned as a “high-tech” university; its Faculty of Mathematics, for examp18, is the on1 0~8 inCanada. Why is it, then, that tE 8 university has b88n so active iA its support for Indepsndent Studies. The university itself was born in 1958 and has managed ‘to sustain its youth and vigor, largely through a decentralized decision-making process, often absent from older institutions. The university has supported an unusual number of innovative programs, including the Co-o erative Program, Environmental Stu Bies, Wornens’s Studies, Canadian Studies, Gerontology. The university understands the worth of the program in preparing students for life in a rapidly changing society in which narrowly trained experts are many but broadly educated human beings are too few to number. It is.partly to the latter to whom IS, appeals in its educational mission. Independent Studies (IS.] at the’ University of Waterloo is a self-directed learning program unique in Canada. It began in 1969 and has continued to produce graduates who go on to enter all walks of life, from medicine to film production and midwifery to economic planning. The program, which has consistently enjoyed the support of th.e univereity senate and administration, combines the ex erimental and the innovative with t R e practical and the excellent. Self-directed learning is an idea born of educational romanticism, popular during the 1860’s; it was supposed to have died then and there. At the elementary and high school levels, the “free” schools of the 1960s became the “alternative” schools of the 1870s and 808, stressing the themes of community, individualized programming, experimental learning, and egalitarian relationships among staff, students, and parents. There are 21 such schools alive and well in To-
with one of &#lclasses.

still constitute the core of I.S. and link the program to current educational debate in the university as a whole. Founding Members - In the fall of 1968, IS. was established with a view to implementing its three central features. Not surprisingly, the rogram initially attracted those stu crents who were most vocal in their op sition to the educational and politic BP0establiahment: free schoolers and deschoolers, feminists and pacifists of Theodor Roszek’s %ounter culture.” These people became the founding members of IS. and gave the program much of its momentum and flavor for the next several years. Government - The idea of self-government has also provided a central thrust to the history of IS. The program has been run, in turn, by one of three systems: a general assembly or council, a management or executive committee, or a combination of both. At present, both the Academic Director and the Executive Committee, with two members elected by stu-, dents and two Academic Advisors, make decisions and determine policy after full consultation with IS. Council which includes all members of the program. The idea of a council, at which all members, including students, faculty, and staff, have a vote is not new, It was successfully implemented at AS. Neill’s Summerhill and at Bertrand and Dora Russell’s Beacon Hill School; however, unlike UW, the above examples of self-government don’t cater to undergraduates. At the regular meetings of the IS. Council, students and staff raise their concerns about matters academic, administrative and social. After further discussion in the appropriate commit-tees, on which students also serve, a consensus is usually achieved. Ongoing Constituency - I.% still _ attracts those students who enjoy learning in self-directed ways, as well as those who question society’s dominant ethic both intellectually and existentially. There is, however, as there always has been in IS., another category of students who can be regarded as “entrepreneurial.” These students wish to make use of the openness and flexibility of IS. to sharpen up their intellectual skills for the battles of the marketplace, One of our first graduates’ for example, is currently running a highly successful wool farm in Southern Ontario..Two of our graduates work for investment and financial companies in Ontario and New York State, while another is Canadian Sales Manager for a microcomputer firm. Another of our graduates is managing editor of Quill and Quire, while yet another is Deputy Director of the International Institute of Communication, a non-profit international organization in communications research . /policy and analysis, based in London, England. Six other graduates have attended or are attending M&faster University Medical School, renowned for its innovative teaching methods, and one of these is now a Clinical. and Research Fellow at the H-pita1 for Sick Children in Toronto. We have a graduate who is Academic Coordinator for a women’s training program affiliated with George Brawn College and another .who is Director of Policy for Premier David Peterson. .
are able to develop skills appropriate for the work lace: independent thought, prob Pem-solving, communication, and leadership. Originally, there was also a non-degree stream within the program, in which students could pursue their own studies regardless of whether they intended to graduate. When the program was reorganized in 1986, this stream was dropped to the regret of many students, who saw it as a unique opportunity to pursue their interests with no external pressure whatsoever. Students may enter the program directly from high school or from other university or college programs, 0~ as mature students. Some students come to IS. with work experience’ desiring two or three years off to strengthen their acsdemic or job-related skills. Others continue working part-time while they study. The program has roven flexible enough to accommo Bate all-comers, including full-time students. Students graduate, not by accumulating course credits but by writing an undergraduate thesis that is supervised by two faculty members outside the program. Students can obtain guidance in ‘this process and in their pre-thesis studies from any of the academic staff within the program. Examples of current areas of interest include artificial intelligence’ women’s health, medieval architecture, and alternative energy. The caliber of the projects is unusually high. Some are of post-graduate quality, In addition to the academic director, there are five academic staff. Their interests include the fields of communication’ history, philosophy, political science, and psychology. History and Philonophy Founding Ideas - IS. grew out of discussions at the University of Waterloo in the mid to late 1960’s concerning the nature and purpose of learning. Three main issues emerged: first, that course credit and grading systems might actively prevent learning in some students; second, that learning could be facilitated in small groups of students and faculty, working together as colleagues: third, that an integrated approach to knowledge was needed that would link different disciplines and develop diligent generalists.

UW writer-in-residence by Haatbm Rdthby 4mprint staff The thing about writers ilp that they have this habit- of taking what they see and putting it into listening a stor . “I’m always and o i serving,” says Sandra Birdsell, who is the writer-inresidence at St. Jerome’s College this year, “I see interesting people in restaurants that stick in my mind and won’t go away. I know they’ll appear in my stories someplace.” She tells of one time when she was in a pizza place in Winnipeg+ Manitoba. Four high sihool girls were having a how 1 lost my virginity conversation. “I overheard the conversation and it ended up in one of my stories.” Birdsell has been at the University of Waterloo since September 1987,and will remain here until April 1989. She works for the university for two days a week, and is free the rest of the time to work on her novel. Currently she is working on one called The Lost Child, but won’t say anything more about it except she thinks the title is “marvellous.” “I never show my work to anyone, except of course my editor. My children even say I’d like to read this novel you’re working on. I say you wiII, when it’s published.” The book will be available in the sprin or fall of 1989. Birdsel ‘: is 48 years old and has three adult children, She is relatively new Canadian talent who
is quickly getting recognition for her work. To date, she has published two collections of short stories: Night TraveIIers, and Ladies of the House,.and has won several awards for her work. In 1982 she received the Robert Kroetsch scholarship+ and in 1884 won the Gerald Lampert award and the national magazine award for fiction. The writer-in-residence program is,sponsored by the Canada Council, so the university and church colleges pay only half of a - writers’ salary. The arrangement seems to be beneficial all around. The writers get a salary to work, the students get a chance to talk about writing with someone who really knows the craft, and Canadians get the benefit of the books that are produced. Birdsell says she often looks at poems or stories that students bring in to her, and discusses what it’s like to be a writer, Associate professor Judith Miller is the chairman of the writer-in-residence program, She says one of the reasons Birdsell was selected was because+ besides being a very good writer, she was very interested in working with “the beginning writer.‘+ Miller says Birdsell is “wonderful at speaking to people about writing..,very down to earth and very frank about her experiences”. Birdsell is the fifth writer-inresidence that the University of Waterloo has had. Graeme Cib-

Birdsell grew up in a small Manitoba town at the bottom of Lake Agassiz, and calls herself a “pkairie person, born and raised.” Many of her stories are reflective of the vastness and isolation of the land. Unlike some writers who begin at an early age, Birdsell confesses she didn’t really think when she was younger that she would end up being a writer. “Sure I was always scribbling things down,+but I really loved sports more than anything in school, But her love of sports was not enough to keep her in school: she dropped out after grade ten, and moved away from home. Birdsell is the fifth of II children. “People always think if you come from a big family you automatically like to always have lots of people around. Well, I wasn’t like that...1 very much needed to be alone.” Both the dynamics of the family and the boarding house she moved to in Winnipeg are forces in the stories she has written. After the move to Winnipeg+ she worked at a number of jobs to-pay the rent. She married at age 17, a move she says she was ready for, A turning point for her career as a writer was the creative writing course that she took at the University of Manitoba in 1976.

Shameless cast untames shrew by Beth jort Imp&t stdf So, was Shakespeare a misogynist or what? Tha Tmniq of the Shrew, Shakespeare’s uproarious, high-spirited comedy about a stron -willed wife who is tame&by her stronger-willed husband (you & now, the dominant male), certainly provides ammunition’ for those who want to fit Shakespeare neatly intq the canon of male authors who think mainly through their pants and only partly through their egbs. Yet, in light of his many strong and complex women - Hermione, Cleopatra, Viola, Rosalynde, and Isabella, to name but a few - Shakespeare is not easily disposed of among the ranka of the bigoted male. On the contrary+ on closer inspection+ Shakespeare seems to be a strong voice for women’s equality, though affected by his hierarchical society and his male uersnective. rc So how does one reconcile this husband-subdues-wife scenario with the healthy respect for women evident in so many of Shakespeare’s other plays? And, more to the point, how does one justify a production of such a seemingly offensive play in this age of enlightened men and women (or, at least enlightened women); Stratford’s current production of Shrew, brilliantly directed by Richard Monette, offers a sophisticated solution to this complex

Rather than emphasizing the hard satiric line which runs beneath much of the play’s text, filling the stage with cynical women and idiotic men - an obvious and safe interpretation given popular opinion in the 80’s - Monette dares to suppress the satire of the play, or at least the characters’ awareness of the satire. Instead, the audience finds itself in the innocent fifties, and what’s more, in the heart of earnest, passionate Italy. The emotions are real, though many of the characters are ridiculous. L. . .r
Birdsell.
Katherina is not a cynical; free-spirited woman ahead of her time, but a volatile, bad-tempered, miserable shrew, if you please, and Petruchio, rather than a cold, calculating shrew-tamer, seems to simmer with an energy and passion equal to his antagonistic bride’s: he is a sort of would-be shrew who has learned to control his passion. By creating this world of earnestness and energy and framing it in a dream, Monette laces the onus on the audience to challenges the see the satire if it will; as the p Pay closes, Monette audience to draw its own conclusions, to catch the irony as Christopher Sly, alias Petruchio, awakens from his drunken reverie and wanders thoughtfully from the stage. Goldie Semple is-fabulous as Katherina. Though she must carry her character through an enormous transformation from shrew td gentle wife, Semple avoids the trap of playing two entirely different Kate’s. Semple manages to maintain a consistent character and energy level throughout the play, embodying Kate’s believable development from child-brat to capable woman, rather than her miraculous (and tragic) conversion into gentle, meek wife, Showing wonderful range, Sem le is as convincing as the wild, sadistic terror of Padua as the su rl tie, controlled wife of Petruchio, Matching the energy and intensity of Semple’s performance, Colm Feore, with his playful smile, leather jacket+ and motorcycle [a la Fonzie ofmMarlon Brando), oozes capability and adventurous charm. One gets the impression that Feore’s Petruchio, a mixture of fierce determination and sensitivity, is able to ‘out-Kate’ Kate, not only because he is clever+ but because there is a great deal of Kate beneath his tough, good-natured hide. Given the electricity of their individual performances, it is no wonder sparks fly when Semple and Feore &are the stage. Act II, scene i, the first meeting of Katherina and Petruchio, is a delightful, but unlikely seduction scene as these equally stubborn lovers” exchange verbal and physical blows, hurling insults+ threats, and shoes at each other. Katherina’s insatiable ire finally meets its match in Petruchio’s indomitable charm. Locktd in an unyielding battle of wills with Kate the cursed Petruchio finally secures his wife-to-be with a sudden flurry of mental and physical ingenuity. By the time Kate catches her breath, the scene is over and she in betrothed - a match made in heaven. Kim Horseman is delightfully obnoxious as the bubble-headed blonde Bianca, as is Geraint Wyn Davies as the insecure, lovesick Hortensio. Overall, a strong and postivety shameless cast makes the most of every even remotely comic situation, creating a wonderful comedy out of the genuine concerns of ridiculous characters. . .G . %. .,

The writers that Birdsell feels influenced her the most in those early days are Margaret Laurence, Alice Munro arid Gabrielle Roy. They gave her the confidence, says Birdsell, to see her experience of growing up,
and her knowledge as a woman, was valid. “Although I had never travelled around the world, or had marvellous adventures, I found that I could really write about the commonplace, and that it could be interesting.” One af the books that had an impact on her was Gabriel Roy’s The Roc~dPast Aitamont. “I don’t know how many times I had driven by on that same road ast Altamont, but after I read Rer book, I saw the area through her eyes, and everything was fresh and new. It was wonderful.” She showed me, says Birdsell, “that what I saw was worth writing about,” Fiction writers, like many artists, often manipulate what they erceive into something that s frlows their own vision of the world. Birdsell says people make the deepest impressions on her, “When you meet someone, or see someone interesting+ your initial impression is so strong that it won’t go away, You put a little bit here, a little bit there, and it grows and grows until, sometimes, you’ve moved far away from your initial impression. That’s how you create and form fictibn.m
She says she doesn’t take notes of her impreseions because she figures if the initial impression was strong, anything she will need to know will come when she needs it, continued

Four years ago, The Nils appeared on a Montreal compilation called Prlmitiva Air-Rdd: Montrerl 84. Here, on this beastly collection (featuring the likes of Vomit and the Zits, Porcelainhead, and Morbid ’Fiasta), The Nil8 outdistanced any bf the supporting tracks with a youthful anthem entitled Call of the Wild. This early work, done when they were just old enough to be legally drinking, din layed a tuneful knack for mePody accompanied by rushing guitars. Just over a year ago, the band signed with a major independent US. label, Profile R8Cord8 of New York and formerly Run DMC. The result was a late 1987 release and an early 1888 top ten U.S. campue-radio showing, according to the poll pages in Rolling Stone. The strong showing on American radio is a testament to The Nils ability to write and perform music that carries enough aggressive guts to push you around the room in an air-guitar frenzy, while Alex Soria’s voice has an endearing quality to make each track a fresh sing-a-long affair. The band doesn’t overpower listeners with raging 8010s or strange measures of guitar noise. Instead, The Nils captivate one’s ears with tight rushes of guitar that reach heroic heights and later simmer to acoustic jangle. A likeness to modern day allround bands such as the Re-

When I first heard Sam Lightnin’ Hopkins I thought, this guy sounds like he’s an old and wrinkled blues player who has lived a hard life. Well, when I finally saw a photo of Hopkins I was @ht. He was old and wrinkled, and if you listen to his music, it becomes obvious his life hasn’t been easy. As the title suggests, this album is recorded live in 1964 at the Bird Lounge, a dingy bar that no longer exists in Houston. He plays alone and in front of an appreciative black audience. Unlike the other Hopkins albums I’ve heard, he spends a considerable amount of time talking to the audience explaining his philosophy of life.
go out with Mary even he was married. Sam explains: “I still Iove my wife, but sometimes Q man needs a friend outside of marriage. Not Q sexual thing. lust a friend to drink with...” The song I Heard My Children Crying fully exemplifies Hopkins pegional countrystyle blues. Sam doesn’t always sing, sometimes he’s just willing to talk with his guitar laying quietly in the backgroun s . When Hopkins plays the blues I’m talking real blue, “I had the blues so bad I couldn’t eat”, he sings in YOU Treat PO’ Lightnin’ Wrong If you’ve ever wondered what it was like to be black in a white America listen to this album, Hopkins paints a vivid picture of growing up black in the United States from the Twenties on by combining intensely personal stories with acoustic guitar playing, You have to hear it to apcreciat e it.

If I’m not actually working, as in moving around and ‘doing something, then I don’t feel as if I’m working. But so much of writing is just sitting around and, staring. I think it’s important to do that because it’s Athe storyi inside you. Suddenly you can’t hold it anymore, _and then it’s ready to be written,” But when a writer reaches this point, it doesn’t mean the story comes out in the form that is sent to the publisher. “It’s not like you can just pick up a pencil and the story appears, but it’s a very line by line, paragraph by paragraph procedure, re-writing and starting over again.” Birdsell says that once the story ‘is on paper though, she doesn’t mind doing revisions. She even calls them a “thing of joy,” which sharpen and define what she has written. She shrugs her shoulders when asked what she’ll be doing after her residency at St. Jerome’s College expires. You might say her life will be an open book. There is little doubt, however, that she will continue to write. As William Kinsella notes, “Sandra Birdsell is here to stay.”

Tuesday night has pianist extraordinaire Janina Fiokowaka at the K-W Chamber Music Society Music Room (57 Young St, West in Waterloo] to proffer up some Beethoven, Chopin, and whatever else strikes a pianist’s fancy. Wednesday night looks especially happenin’, what with insane blueswailers Little Charlie and the Nightcats randacking The Hoodoo, and alternative pop’s clown prince, The Jazz But&or, coming to this burg’s Victoria Park Pavillion. Says John Son of Jazz Butcher’ Hymera, “The Jazz Butcher is a must-see in concert; music,’ he says, ‘is all about apazzing out.’ So, being a man of hie word,.The Jazz Butcher spazzes out’ on stage.

The Chief stotms the Hoodoo by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff
,-
.
Everyone always says the nice thing about The Hoodoo Lounge ia that on any given weekend you can pay five bucks for someone you’ve never heard of and get more than your money‘s worth. . Eddy Clearwater, for one, was preceded by his reputation - a great sho.w at the Hoodoo some months back and an apparently electrifying performance at Th-e Montreal- Jazz Festival last summ&r which some friends swear was the best show at the entire festival. Add the fact that he’s one of the hard&St working juke-jointers‘ in the business, and expectatiotis run pretty high, even for a lousy five bills. Ad yes, you can stop holding your breath - those expectation3 were quite fulfilled. Clwwer took the stage looking @e the answer’ to the q,ueetion, “What would CEeavon Uttte have looked like if Be had been -ap@p in*tead of thasheriff in Sbla~8rddlasr’ Abig, jolly haa&. oi g mm, flashing cavern5us amiil0s, tryi so hard to eaeethat you cou1 dn’t help but T ave hink. “Is ev*od~ feelin all right,” ha kapt ding the initially list-

not bad on their own terms, but a bit of a letdown from the level of. intensity they reatihed on the wilder numbers whose raucous energy more than compensated for the fact that Clearwater isn’t exactly Otis Clay in the pipes department. The rest of the band also seemed to lag into something less than pure inspiration once the tempo let up. But when Eddy just set his mind to partying, he was right up there with the best of them. Sure, I’ve seen better shows, but I’m not going to complainone bit.

Plasterscene Replicas no cheap imitations by P8t8r hd88 Imprint steff
It was Saturday night. I had just returnedfromToronto when my leisure buddy (with whom I am cosmically aligned’) asked if I wanted to go out and see some band called the Replicants or something like that. a “Do ya mean The Replacementa?” “No. No. The Plasterscene Replicas.” “That’s better.” For anybody who cares about tedious bits of trivia, The Replicas played the old Level 21 about three years ago, along with Maggot Fodder and some other band which I don’t remember very well.

B”pxS PO’RTS FROM REBELLION TO REBUILDING PART 2 -I ONWARD OR ,OVER? by Mike McGraw Imprint
staff
This is the second of Q three part feature OR the saga of the University of Waterloo foot ball rogram. Part one dealt with the rl eated layer rebellion which led to t Re firing of head coach Bob McKiliop in October, ‘1987. Part two analyzes the uncertainty which abounded rior to the hiring of new hea B coach, hV8 Tuffy” Knight.
.
The crossfire was over. The Waterloo Warrior football players banded together and reached their objective: head coach Bob McKillop was fired. Hard feelings would always linger, but for the mcOment, the bickering had subsided. As Christmas approached, a more important issue loomed: the future of the program itself. After a third consecutive O-7 season and 23 straight losses, many felt the Warriors should be left to die in peace, The university’s movers and shakers were about as together on the issue as Canada’s politicians are on the free trade bill. Athletic heads Carl Totzke and Wally Delahey claimed it was sufficient funds or no program. . Meanwhile, university President Doug Wright and Dean of Students Ernie Lucy were never worried about the program’s future.
Eulogies or previews? With such a lack of consensus all involved were left in limbo throughout the month of November. Would we be writing eulogies or previews about the program come 19881 In the first week of December, Director of Athletics Carl Totzke announced the program had received a second life. The athletic department received the goahead to advertise for a ‘new head coach, To help in the selection process, the department established an eight-member committee comprised of university and athletic administrators, football players, students and football alumni. The tribunal was aptly titled, The Footboll Review Committee. “We’ll sift through the applications down to the bottom three or explained Totzke.“Then four,” we’ll hold some interviews to decide on a new head coach.” Before the job was even advertised, many potential miracle workers expressed interest. Twenty-one applications had been received before the ad hit the papers. “We’ve received some quality said Totzke, adapplications,” ding that most had applied in confidence thus he couldn’t release any names. From Totzke’s perspective, it was the efforts of football alumni which helped to keep the program afloat, “We’re very encouraged by the enthusiasm of our football Alumni,” he said, “In spi_te of what was perceived as unsuc-

Many explayers also offered to assist in recruiting and other areas of the program. Totzke couldn’t have phrased it any better when he said, “we’ve got some friends out there.” Those friends helped save the program.

It would have been easy for those in authority to pull the plug on the Warriors. With no wins in over three years and the dust still settling from the bitter player revolt, the climate was right to end it. But UW football,fans can be grateful that many people didn’t want it to end. Despite the futility, the jokes, the rebellion and the anguish, some are still determined to see the day when Wa1 terloo is no longer the laughing stock of the OUAA.

Present Warrior Head coach, Tuffy Knight, reluctantly admitted he recommended Rothwell to the Argonauts. But he refuses to take any of the credit for his being invited to rookie training. “He must have camp, stating, been the best of the bunch, they only signed one.”
Rothwell optimisticly access his chances, saying “it’s a long road, but at -least I’m on the road.” Coach Knight gives Rothwell as good a “chance as any other rookie.” Asked about possibly lusing Rothwell to the pros, CO~I knight first commended Al on his “hard work i? winter. practice during March,” concluding that the “hardwork was rewarded.” Rothwell who had earlier said his quest for the pros was an all or nothing deal, reaffirmed this

When Jack Donohue steps down as head coach of the Canadian national men’s basketball team after the Olympics, he will leave behind a program much maligned by criticisms over his selection of players and his ability to create a proper feeder program* Presently, the team is in Uruguay fighting for an Olympic berth to Seoul, Going into the tournament the team’s chances of qualifying were very slim. As of last Thursday, the team had however claimed a place in the play-off where a single victory could mean an Olympic berth. (On Tueda , the national term qualified Por Seoul with PII 87-70 victory over Uruguay.] The selection process of the team is a major point of argu-
ment for many critica of the program. They want to see a change in this process as they feel the team should not be an avenue for dinosaurs of the Canadian game to prolong their careers. On the surface, all these are valid criticisms of the basketball program and the people who run its operations. But critics of the program fail to understand “the international game is more than just being good; playing in a foreign environment, adapting to situations, diet, fatigue, and tolerating all that goes with the internat ional game,” are important features in the performance of players, says Waterloo Warriors head coach Don McCrae, The key to the game of basketball is the play of the big men.

entry form available from the PAC receptionist and bring your item to the PAC office by 4 pm on Monday, June 8. Anyone whose entry is included in the time capsule will have their name included in the log which will be sealed in the capsule. The ttme capsule will be buried after Monday’s 5 pm CRAC meeting which will be held in the Vl Great Hall. Why not come to the meeting, watch the sealing of the capsule then join thi! procession to the burial site at the PAC, Blue South at 6 p.m.? Everyone is welcome.
nant team similar’ to the United’ States. The issue is demographics, says McCrae, noting “the population size is a factor here? This factor makes it possible for the Americans to have total player turnover every four years. Canada on the other hand is not able to do the same. He also sees the lack of commitment from the few capable players on NCAA rosters and their schools in making them available to the program as another roblem, With t R e annouced retirement of Donohue from the program, McCrae hopes the next national coach will not change the existing system since the program is dependent on factors which the program organizers cannot control. He adds however, “there will be some changes.” The obstacles which hinder the programs improvement include such things as money, marriage, education and player commitment , A major obstacle is players keeping their pledge to remain a part of the team for four years, Some of the players-get married and are unwilling to travel for extended periods. McCrae points out two of the biggest obstacles are the NBA and the NCAA. Neither will go out of their way to make a Canadian player readily available to the rogram. And the few quality ii ig men coming out of the Canadian game are gobbled up by American schools, After their college careers are completed, the NBA will offer more than the Canadian national program can even think of competing with.
