The students, hired to work with College Pro Painters in Kitchener-Waterloo for the summer, hoped to improve their English and put some money away for their studies. Earlier in the year, they hadall responded to an ad placed in the CEGEP's newspaper, seeking students who were interested in working for College Pro i n the Toronto area. According to senior business manager James Eatough. who works in the Toronto head office. a poster displayed on the CEGEP campus promised applicants free transportation from the college to the work site; painti training on iocation; p o t e n t a accommodatien if it could be arranged by College Pro; earnings of between $2500 anbS5000 dependin on how hard they waptefto work; and the opport u ~ i t yto live end work in an English community. The students attended several meetings on campus, run by a College Pro contact in Quebec City named Francois Chalifour. They understood they would travel via Voyageur bus to Waterloo and not by school bus to work with a company doing both interior and exterior painting. While in Waterloo, they believed

In an interview conducted en francais, they told Imprint the feel they weren't given enoug% information on what their jobs involved, and there hasn't been enough communication between themselves and management. Fred Melenchuk, general manager for Ontario west, who said he was in char e of orienting the painters into t%e region. said he was unaware they had any complaints other than the delay in starting work. Melenchuk said the delay wan the result of accidents two managers were involved in. College Pro Painters is run as a franchise operation, wherein managers purchase the right to run independent franchisee, says manager Dave Bennett, a Western student who hae two painters from the Quebec group working for him. One franchise was dissolved when the man er was hurt in a serious car acczent, and another couldn't originally take on its full quota of painters as the manager had broken some bones in her foot. Melenchuk said. "I was told they [the Quebec painters) would be here May 21. Bennett said. On May 15 I got a phone call saying they'd be here the next day.'

Math student calls for : changes to work reports by John Mascrn Imprint muff An attempt to alter the existwork term report system is presently at the proposal stage. Math student Paul Obeda is. directing the drive to change tb current system which req&es co-op students to submit far work term report8 as part of the university co-op degree re~pyym. : ;*-,v:.*$ %hti, z&w sbggestions would cut the rquired reports to only two but &$d a compulsory writing course: Student8 would compIete a wqrk report during the first work! term and take a profeasional peport writing course during the second academic year. Witd the completion pf the ing co-op

writing course, a second work report would be required during a third year work term. The proposed changes would not be binding on any co-op student. Rather, a new option for students is the reason behind Obeda’s drive. Students in the co-operative stream of study will be able to decide which route, the four reports or two Feports and one course, is more desirable to meet their needs. Obeda feels a writing course would benefit the communication skills of many co-op students but because of the burden of academic and, practical training while at UW, priority is not given to taking a course, “While a writing course could not replace the work report requirement,” he said, “allowing a reduction in the

requirement for students who successfully complete the course would profit all concerned, espec&y since the primary purpose of the work report is to enhance the student’s written communication skills.” The course proposed would be similar to the existing English 210 but emphasis would be given to communication skills and the ability to be understood in written and oral situations. Faculty and administration have shown interest in the suggestions but are concerned about extra funding necessary to develop and offer a writing course to large numbers of students. Paul Obeda is interested in student reaction to this concept. He can be reached at the Math Society office.

Marco Escoto was virtually the last person in Kitchener to find out about the granting of his ministerial permit. Patricia Polfuss, his former En&h teacher, has been battling on Marco’s behalf for eight months. Friday, June 10, she looked for him to give him the good news but could not find Escoto until the next day, his birthday. She say8 “his reaction was ecstatic,’ he couldn’t be,lieve it at first.” After more than 2000 letters and phone calls to Employment and Immigration Minister Barbara McDougall, she reviewed new evidence on Marco’s case and allowed him to stay. All that is left for Marco to do is apply for his permit now that he has permission. He must do this from a

foreign port and hi&bacher says “he’ll be heeding .i@$@&Buffalo sometime tljh au%we and she gives the :‘assura&e “there ehould be ‘no .p#&len;i vhatsoever for Marco t~i get his papers in the US,” Polfuss i( extremely pleased with “the genuine interest from the general population in saving Marco from,&possible torture or disappearaqe and helping him stay in Canada as a refugee= &e adds “the re@ponae from the piiblit w& very po@ve whic&is a little different than what pditicians were -indic’& .

COMMENT

It’s a question of priorities 1EDITORIAL 1 This editorial falls in the wake of much criticism and gossip surrounding UW’s newest building; it is also a precursor to an investigative articl8 which will follow in the next issue of Imprint. In case you haven’t heard, the new William G. Davis Computer Research Centre is five million dollars over budget. Now this extra cost is not a surprise to the project managers nor to the university officials who wield the axe of cutting costs. Director of Uw Plant Operations Sean Sloane frankly stated “We could’ve cut another five million out, but it would have compromised the building,” The centre is known b many pseudon ms. The silly Davis building first came to life on t 3:e university or d(er paper back in 1984 when the faculty clearly stated more space was mandatory to alleviate crammed classroom and crowded lab situations. The criteria for constructing a building the size of the Davis Centre was space, Today some naysayers complain the funding base for , high priority expenditures has dried up, Sloane concedes the funding base has been reduced because of the Davis expenditure but insists the “original problem has been addressed by creating additional space.” Microcomputers are a major cause of the original squeeze on space. It is estimated each terminal takes up 25 square feet of work space. A thoughtful question now arises: Did the university set its priorities wisely? The university’s own Computing Committee includes as one of its visions - a contradiction to the university’s logic of providing space for vast numbers of microcomputers in the Davis Centre: “Since students will increasin ly supply their own basic computers, the university must provide ta em with flexible networks and support services to access University resources and services.” Two problems would seem to complicate this vision, If the committee’s vision is accurate to the extent of students furnishing their own personal computers, the Davis Centre may have been built baaed on an incorrect premise and at considerable cost. Secondly, if the committee is equal1 correct in their asseption that the university must continue to supp Py the support services for the growing number of personal computers, then an Ontario Federation of Student’s recently released report entitled Cut To The Bone provides a discouraging glimpse at the state of this institution and Paranoid, schizophrenic or others like it in the province. what?

Canada i n banners by Mary Ma~mrallr

,By Canada Day this year, if all goes as scheduled, 34 banners representing the Canadian landscape will be erected in Ottawa. The banners are the creation of University of Waterloo Architecture student Jane Sedgewick Thompson. Ms. Thompson was the first-prize winner of the “Celebration ‘88 Banner Competition,” a nation-wide competition initiated by the National Capital Commission (NCC) early last year in order to commemorate the opening of Canada’s new Ceremonial Route. The competition was open to Canadian undergraduate and college students in art or design-related programs. The first rize consisted of $3,000, an x includes three honourable mentions and three awards of merit. One of the honourable mentions was won by two other students from the University of Waterloo, Lisa Rapoport and Christopher Pommer. Although they and Ms. Thompson knew each other, they were unaware they had entered the same competition, The entrants were re uired to submit designs for 73anners which are to be used to decorate a triangular strip of land on Confederation Boulevard, facing the new National Gallery of Canada. This plaza is on the new Ceremonial Route, a promenade linking Ottawa and Hull. The Parliament Buildings, Nat ional Archives and Supreme Court are all situated on the route, aa will be the new National Gallery and the National Museum of Civilization. There will be major intersections along the route. Each will be decorated with banners and the first will be the plaza on Confederation Boulevard. The unveiling of the banners will take place at the inauguration ceremoniea for the Ceremonial Route. Ma. Thompson’s design consists of 34 banners attached to poles which are arranged in a flowing triangular shape, resembling a kite in the wind (including the tail). Each banner will measure eight feet square and will be fixed to the poles at the top but will be attached to a sliding mechanism at the bottom so that when the wind blows the banners will billow out. This adds to the flowing design of the banners, helped in part because the aides of the triangle will not be straight but curved in an un-

dulating fashion. To further the impression of a living creation, the banners will not all be placed at the same level but each will be hung so the design curves up and down. MS, Thompson’s architectural background came in useful when she discovered the organizers decided the banners could not possibly be hung this way. She was able to prove to them it was possible. Ms. Thompson admits she chose a flowing desi n in direct contrast to the rigid- f ines of the buildings surrounding the site. She decided on a landscape design because she feels the land is the part of Canada that is common to all: a unifying factor. Each banner will depict a part of the Canadian landscape. Ah though each will make a statement on its own, the paintings are designed to flow together so there is continuity. The entire Canadian landscape will be portrayed, from the west coast, up into the Arctic and back along the eastern provinces. The “tail ’ will depict blue ocean and clouds. MS, Thompson spent months poring over photographs ,of the different regions of Canada and she drew landscapes which she thought were most indicative of each area. Since the NCC does not have an artist-in-staff, Ms. Thompson has been commissioned to paint a scaled version of each banner, To ensure artistic accuracy, each one will be transferred onto a transparency and then projected on a banner, The banner will then be painted. Although not strongly influenced by the work of the Group of Seven, MS, Thompson admits she did think about them as well as the work of native Canadians when she chose the bright, vivid colours which portray the Canadian scene. The lines are clean and strong, and each colour is outlined in black. The impression one gains is one of vibrance. When the banners are erected, they will be visible on three sidea to the arteries of traffic rushing past. In order to get the overall effect, it will be necessary to stand inside the triangle and view all three sides together. The banners will be made of nylon, so the design on the front will be the same as on the back. In her original proposal, MS, Thompson included plans for shrubs to be planted on the ground inside the triangle in the shape of a Canadian map. Thus,

2.55 1.95 2.35 2.45 2.45 2.4s 1.95 1.95 1.95 2.55 2.55 2.36 ml5 1.55 0.65

as visitors looked at the banners, they would be able to tell which region was depicted by looking at the map. However, cost considerations and other factors caused the deletion of this part of the project. Instead, there will be a plaque inside the triangle outlining the purpose of the banners; this will hopefully encourage visitors to enter the area and gain the impression. intended by Ms. Thompson, There are also plans to strategically provide lighting at nighttime. Because of their vivid colouring

and black outlining, the banners will resemble stained-glass windows when the light shines through them.

Ms. Thompson heard about the contest while on work-term in Ottawa. She admits she was attracted by the artistic nature of the project. It enabled her to be more creative than her usual work allowed. However, she almost did not enter the contest, The deadline was November 1, 1987, and Ms. Thompson submitted her entry that evening, li-

terally at the last moment. She says if she had had to mailit, she would have been too late, Her living in Ottawa certainly helped. Ms. Thompson, along with the other winners, will 8 end severa1 days in Ottawa x uring the unveiling ceremonies. She will have completed her studies at the end of this summer term, when she hopes to find a position in Kingston. When asked if winning this competition will help her employment prospects, she replied she thinks it will.

Press Agency (NPA) and the Soviet Minister of the Nuclear Power Industry Mr. Nikolai Lukonin. NPA: Too often in the past, nuclear power engineering has been portrayed as almost corn-. pletely safe, The illusion has now been replaced by a serious mistrust of this source of energy. Lukonin: I would call it excessive mistrust, or perhaps a lack of faith in the ability of modern

science and engineering to solve safety-related problems at nuclear plants. I think that nuclear experts, researchers and practical scientists should use the press to inform the public about measures being taken, the real state of things in this area andits importance for the further progress of civilization. We, experts in the field, are not turning a deaf ear on our opponents, We, too, have children and grandchildren. We are not their enemies, nor are we the enemies of humankind.

Lukonin: No, nuclear industry experts would say no to those sources, but they simply can’t compete for the amounts of energy produced, while the use of solar energy - the biggest potential source - is not efficient economically.

These

surely must be used on a wider scale. They are a fine addition to the overall production of electricity and heat but can only be used locally. No one, I think, would argue that the world’s living standards and economic development largely depend on the availability of energy.

stuff

The University of Waterloo was founded back in 1958, rising out of the Engineering

faculty

Waterloo College. The college was secondarily affiliated with Waterloo Lutheran University [now Wilfrid Laurier), Since then, UW has grown to be the most successful of the more recent Universities UW was originally formed to service the growing demand for post-secondary education. In, the nineteen eighties it is serving a new demand: The increased need for science and technology on the domestic as well as global scene. The pian for the future is laid out in the fourth decade plan.

The faculty of Human Kinetics and Leisure Studies was formed to give a home to aItudies in the potentials of the human body and forms of recreation. Environmental Studies was the first of its kind in Ontario. Also, Water-

loo contains the only program of self-directed learning in Canada. The university was well prepared for the modern information age with programs in Mathematics’ Computer Science, Systems, as well as in Elac trical and Computer engineering. Above all Waterloo is known for the co-o system: A system of study whit K is rewarding as it is problematic. The university is forced to spend valuable funding running the university year round. Unfortunately there has been continued controversy over the way these costs are to be amortized.

CATS slink into Centre-In-The-square by Sharon E. Frey Imprint rtaff “So, how was the performance?” I could simpl say it was electrifying, spell- i inding, endearing, dazzling, compelling, delightful, and on and on... (but then it wouldn’t be a proper review of one of the most exciting happenings this year at the Centre in the Square, now would it?). Ask me in April what words spring to mind when hearing the word “cat ,” and I would have mentioned “dog,” or “litterbox.” I hadn’t even considered catching the performance at Toronto’s Elgin Theatre, thinking that Andrew Lloyd Webber’s CATS was just another flashy-lit song and dance concept musical. ’ Well, after Tuesday’s opening night performance, I am a solid convert into the order of jellicle. The set sprawls over the stage and dotin both sides, chucked full of refuse discarded from uncaring humans. A couple of oversized brassieres, empty Kodak 400 film boxes, damaged tennis rackets, tins of Kal Kan, old fish heads, raggy clothes, and cereal boxes are all blown up to at least seven times their size, scaling down the human-sized performers (and delighted audience) to cat-size. The garbage heap looks so real, you almost expect a whiff of it to hit your nostrils, even sitting up in the balcony. During intermission’ fascinated fans were invited to take it all in - up close, even getting getting up close to “Old Deuteronomy” for autographs and a look over hiscostume as he held his lafty position on a huge rubber tire pedestal. Having previously attended a dress rehearsal last Thursday for photographers, I had the freedom of moving around the empty chairs and gaining any vantage point. After trying the front row on the first floor, I settled in a

chair, tripod and camera poissd, twelve raws back to enjoy my first unofficial CATS perfixmance, Tuesday night’s seat up in the balcony presented a totally different perspective. Sounds assailed from left and right of the stage. An excellent view of the whole set was provided: it was close enough to make out the exaggerated faces and gestures of the dancing felines. Strobes danced across the stage and lights flickered from strings of bulbs hung along the balcony and ceiling. CATS didn’t open with the bang I expected. Admittedly’ the computerized light extravaganza and orchestra nicely introduced some of the special strobes and lighted props the crew would cleverly alter and use for other acts, but it just didn’t zap the audience with that jarring orchestrated intro. I was impressed with the spaceshiplike ring of softly-winking blue lights that were slowly lifted from the garbage heap, hinting at some sort of extra-terrestrial origins of the Cats themselves, Particularly noteworthy was the way Scott Bolton, and Shelley Stewart Hunt (as Mungojerrie and giggly Rumpleteaser) coaxed the audience into relaxing with their comic duo performance, By Tuesday, they had mastered their acrobatics and responded to the increasingly spontaneous laughter from the crowd. Kitchener native Sherri McFarlane played the part of a busy, matronly’ tap-dancing, overly-organized school-marm Gumbie Cat (also an original T. S. Eliot character], rushing about finding employment for cockroaches and counselling mice on their mannerisms. As usual, Adam Fleck’s Rum Turn Tugger delighted the felines (and the women in the audience!) into caterwauling, writhing ecstasy with his suggestive struts and gyrating hips

Tracy Chapman with her debut album has had almost every conceivable laurel heaped onto her newcomer shoulders. Making more inroads into popularizing folk music than any other artist in this decade, she combines both sincerity and an acute sense of observation in all , of her songs. Fast Car now being played on almost every radio station from here to Alert is one of the more accessible songs on the album. (everyone that I know dreams of doing something with their lives, and that is what Fast Car is all about - in this case, the simple life with family in suburbia].

Chapman melds immediacy with social awareness

The biggest thing about the album is how fresh it sounds. As a child TX listened to very little music which allowed her own unique style a chance to grow (though self-admittedly she ia a fan of both Joni Mitchell and Neil Young, and yes she does sound a little like Joan Armitrading). I seriously doubt ,though, if all the aongs are based on personal experience - but then that has never been an integral part of music. But that doesn’t stop her from conveying her sense of immediacy and social awareness to the album. This awareness transcends the usual political scene that is the focul point for many bands - all for the sake of being hip and for record sales, Remember this is a woman who gave up the opportunity of being signed to a major label so she could finish her degree in anthropolgy. The only question is ‘Can she do it again with her next album” or has she been ‘inxed by those first album t lues.

Such, at any rate, seems to be the ethic underlying Tucson’s Sidewinders, who’ll slither into The Bombshelter on Friday, June 24 to hype their new platter, Cuocho!. Striking a near- erfect balance between smoot E production and genuine passion, The Sidewinders offer nothing ia the way of innovation’ more or less treadin the same wellworn trail b f azed by REM and

miss her so much/etc.” Telling the same old story, sure, but they’re hardly illiterate they’re just not self-consciously cute and clever and anyway, the story goes on. All of which makes for an unremarkable album that nonetheless demands and deserves to be heard - not to mention what promises to be a truly rocking experience at The Bomber.

by Chrir Wodskou Imprint rt,rff Black music has been almost completely ghettoized in virtually every era’ but Living Colour’s much-publicized Black Rock Coalition might just rectify that situation. Blacks have a lock on almost all worthwhile hip hop, soul, and funk, but black rockers have been a near-nonexistent entity since Hendrix and Sly Stone. Vivid is being hailed as a breakthrough for black rock (with apologies to Bad Brains). The resultant hype has built up expectations that Vivid, unfortunately, only occasionally fulfills, depending upon their role models. If you’re oing to emulate Q107’s erstwhi f e brand of rook bombast, you mi ht as well pick someone a little t etter than Journey or Styx. I Want To Know and Glamour Boys could be out-takes from any nondescript Journey album, tuneless songs plodding behind pedestrian guitar-grinding and made no more interesting by Corey Glover’a frighteningly Steve Perry-like beatings. Too bad they don’t have the ghost of ohn Bonham invading their bo d ies more often. Muzz Skillings and William Calhoun make a bruising’ skintight rhythm section that recalls Led Zeppelin at their early best. Cult of Personality and Middle Man even have major league guitar riffs that could convince the thickest metalhead that head honcho Vernon Reid doesn’t lag far behind Jimmy “Pauncho’ Page in the chops department. Raunchy, hard rock that a child of the ‘80’s weaned on new wave and dodgy haircuts can even dig. All this talk about a Black Zeppelin’ though, is to trivialize the strength and unflinching determination of their vision of the bleak urban hell Blacks have continually been shunted into. Theirs is a landscape riddled with violence and exploitation from which nihilistic escapism seems to be the only alternative, a dead-end street made all the more vivid by Reid’s brilliantly compressed lyrics in Open Letter ro A Landlord): We lived here for so many ears Now this, house is ull of r cur For a profit you wil f take control Where will all the older people go?

of reality that wouldn’t sit too well in those cute Jell-O Pudding commercials. A band that can rock this hard and still say something relevant and meaningful is an all-too-rare commodity these days.

Alright, so you want to know about the album. If you’ve seen the movie by the same name, you’ll be disappointed to know all the music in the movie didn’t end up on this soundtrack.

I won’t even t to suggest you’ll understand w3; at it’s like to be black in America, but if you’d like to get a better understanding of the position they’re coming from, then buy this album. If you think The Cody 8how is somehow a realistic portrayal then you’d better stay away. Ice T contributes Colors, the theme song of the movie. Called too violent and amoral in other reviewa, I think the song Colors accurately portrays the position of a gang member. Social workers that attempt to help in the ghetto are called fools. The people that tell the gang members to just walk away are mocked. “In L.A., we never die just multiply,” offers a bleak but probably realistic vision of a gang members future. Decadent Dub Team’s Six Gun continues with the bleak outlook’ “I WQS born with a six gun in my mind. If you want to understand just put a six gun in my ho&” Not all songs make you feel like killing yourself though. Erik B. and Rakims-Paid In Full could easily become a Fed Hall dance fIoor favourite, while MC. Shan’s A Mind is a TerribIe Thing to Waste offers education as a possible escape from the life and inevitable death of being a gangster. 7A3’s Mad Mad World contrasts M.C. Shan’s hope with a sense of helplessness. While rapping about being a nothing in society, news reports from Ethiopia, disasters, and gang warfare are added to the mix to reinforce this sense of hopelessness. Add songs by artists such as Roxanne Shante, Rick James, Kool G. Rap, Big Daddy Kane, and Salt-N-Pepa, and you’ve got the makings of a great album. If you come away disheartened you can’t say I didn’t tell you so.

Commemorating ‘Nick Drake: folk &its using the lush imagery of the Symbolist poet8 with the melancholy perspective of the British Romantice; musical settings which blend folky acoustic textures, a Van Morrison-type jazzy swing and baroque string arrangements. At the centre of it all sits Nick Drake with his masterful guitar technique and a voice capable of capturing the subtlest &hades of emotion. Beyond his unequalled technical brilliance, what separated Nick Drake from hi8 contemporariea such a8 Van MOrri8On, Joni Mitchell, Tim Buckley or Randy Newman, was the gentleness of hi8 music.

Phil Robinson Imptint staff by

Blood Justice is Howard Smead’s attempt to fill in a gap in our (American) recent history, and with luck, to help us confront the true nature of racial discriminatioli; Well, I’d suggest that Smead needs no luck to make his case. Instead, he relies on meticulous endnoting of official records, newspaper reports and personal interviews to piece together an accurate account of the lynching of Mack Charles Parker in 195% Parker was lynched after allegedly raping a white woman, even though Parker maintained his innocence and the woman never could positively identify

Parker as her rapist. The place was Poplarville, a small rural town in southern Mississippi where Parker, a resident, had been taken from the county jail, beaten, shot in the head, and dumped in the Pearl River. The white mob has never been apprehended, despite a large FBI investigation. It is from this point, that Smead proceeds to unravel the roots of racial discrimination by looking at the investigations both- locally and federally, the town of Poplarville, the response of the media, and the reaction of the state government. Smead’s straight forward style aids understanding, repelling the reader along at a Erisk pqe.,Although a great deal of the book looks at the judicial process, Smead never gets bogged down in technical terms. The more you read the more depressing the whole situation gets. From the lynching itself, to the failed attempts to prosecute, the book becomes darker and darker. I had first read of this account

while researching an essay on white extremist groups in America. What may surprise the reader is that the individuals that lynched Parker were not considered extremists, rather, they w-e typical citizens. Farmers, the town barber, a minister, and the police were among those indicted but never brought to trial. Perhaps, it is this fact that is the most disturbing. Contrary to the belief that there were only a few extremiats active in the South since Reconstruction, Smead shows the far reaching and pervasive nature of racism. This lynching, while deplored by the Northern press was relatively accepted by Southerners and Southern press no doubt due to the institutionalization of racism over the past 250 years. While you may be wondering how this is important 30 years later, just consider that while blatant forms of racism have been banned in the United States, racism still exists in more subtle forms. Smead’s book, through critical analysis

imprint rounds up summer. movie fare by John Zacherhh Imprint mff As the oppressive heat of summer draws moisture from our bodies, we find ourselves . drawn .[among other things) toward the air-conditioned comfort of our city’s movie theatres. Maybe you’ll be drawn to the Frederick Twin to see The Presidio, the new murder mystery starring Mark Harmon, Sean Connery and Meg Ryan. Harmon plays Jay Austin, a former military policeman who patrolled the famous San Francisco-army base Presidio but who is now a homocide inspector for SFPD. He’s assigned to investigate a murder at the b&se, which brings him back into contact with Lt. Cal. Alan Caldwell [Sean Conner ) the base’s Provost Mar.sheY. There’s animosity between the two of them, which was caused by an event which forced Austin to leaire the base. However, the two must co-operate if they are to nab the killers. ’ Things are complicated by Austin’s new romance with Caldwell’s daughter Donna (Meg Ryan), whose mixed romantic signals are only another fly in the ointment of his life. Their relationship gels as Austin and Cialdwell wad8 through a predictably unpredictable plot involving smuggled diamonds from the Phillipines. Sounds boring? Maybe on paper, but The Presidio serves up some pretty exciting action,

especially during a foot chase between Austin and a military man suspected of complicity. The romantic subplot is given a surprising amount of depth, and Harmon, Ryan and es ecially Connery turn in great, bePievable work, This formula thriller has flair to make it well above average.

The Presidio: formula thriller has flair enough to make it well above averaga If that’s not your cup of tea, you could always go see Bloodsport at the Cinema. This martial arts thriller provides plenty of visceral fun as kick-boxing wizard Jean Claude Van Damme fights his way to the top of the martial arts heap in a bloody international contest. Cardboard portrayals and ‘cheesy male bonding make this one a surefire guffaw getter. There’s also Big, with Tom Hanks, a movie which is supposed to breathe new life into a tired premise, and CrocodiIe Dundee Ii, more of the same from your favorite Aussie adventurer, Or you could go see Willow.

Here are all your favorite Tolkienesque fantasies come to life. Willow is fantastic, the best fun you can have in the dark.

M&wan’s concerns are multifold; tied in with his heartfelt story of the strength and resilience of parental ties are concerns for the child of the future, the subject of an increasingly officious bureaucracy. The story is set far enough ahead in the future to appear innocent, but contemporary enough to draw serious parallels with the Thatcher yegime. It is a nom& nally well-meaning, but a cold and hard-headed government, typified by The Authorbd Child-care Handbook published by a royal commission of which Stephen is a member, being a popular writer of children’s books. The only problem is that the book has already been printed by a government appointee, quoted throughout as damning evidence of the governmentls stupid, commodity-minded callousness: “More than coal, more even than nuclear power, children are our greatest resource.” The commission is only intended to give the veneer of the democratic process and when news that the book has been pre-written is leaked, the government covers its ass with maneuvers tbiat

The ]azz Butcher (Pat Fish on his Oxford tram&#) loves Germany. He writes songs about Germany, his only live album was recorded in Germany; he talks about Germany. So, doesn’t it just make sense that someday he would play German KlH&llyer, a town once named . That’s my logic anyway, and the Upsidedown Production’s presentation of Fish and his conspiracy (the JBC as he calls it) was impossibly groovy, considering the near disaster of the me-

sound of guitaris* Eider leave the JBC, but Kizzy and the rest of the new band handled Fish’s earlier material as well as their predecessors. Fish has been passed off as a writer of intellectual drinking SO s, and while there is some trut7 to the accusation, it does gross violence to his keen eye for social observation and hia resultant penchant for social satire. Thus, not only was the crowd treated to Soul Ha py Hour, but to the lyrically ii rilliaat Real Men, The Best Way, and Sex Engine Thing. Fish chronicled his prolific but short (circa 1983) recording CBreer with songs from all five of his original studio albums (that’s not -including the one live one, the numerous singles, and the three compilations). Crowd favorite Caroline Wheeler’s Birthday Present was there in all of its brilliance, and the frantic Zombie Love received a hot, exteqded jam session. Parry Time, possibly his best song, was done solo by Fish with him strapped to his acoustic guitar. But every concert bar its zenith, and at both Toronto and Kitchener, the duo of The Best Way and Looking Par Lot 49 brought the show to a climax. For The Best Way, the JBC played over a tape sample of commerciala compiled by l&it Csawza. And boy, did they rpatz out. Then the JBC slammed into hking For Lot 19. Wow. On a slightly ctitical note, the sound et Victoria Park was gwd, but Fish’s voice was mixed almost out of existence. This was distressing as his voice is one of his stron er points.

BIZZARE DEATHS

m SPORTS. FROM .REBELLlON TO REBUILDING Part 3 - Reconstruction by Mike MeGrew Imprint rtaff This is the last of a three part on the recent plight for survival of the University of Waterloo foot bd program. Part one analyzed the player revolution of October 1987 which prompted the firing of head coach Bob McKiIIo , while part two chronicled t Re board room maneuvering which saved the program. Port three deals with the hiring of new head coach Dave “Tuffy” Knight and his plans for the resurgence of UW football. feature

The day finally arrived, It was a bright, crisp winter morning on February 8 as all K-W media types convened at UW’s University Club. The athletic department was naming a new head football coach. Inside the club, it was like the unveiling of a new art exhibit, Many of the same people who had mourned the possible death of Waterloo football at Kuntz House in October, weti-k to celebrate its resurrection.

Rumoura

were right

As athletic director Carl Totzke made the announcement, he verified rumours which had been circulating since Christmas. Dave “Tuffy” Knight, personnel director of the Toronto Argonauts, would take over the reigns. “We’ve reviewed some quality candidates, but there is no doubt in our minds that Dave has the ability to lead our program,” commented Totzke. “We ran into some difficulties,” he added’ “Especially since Dave is from the Ralph Sazio (Argo GM) stable of finances.” Then, in perhaps the corniest display in sports administration history, Totzke pulled out a harmonica and played John Denver’s Country Roads. He claimed that Knight insisted his theme song be learned. As the Warrior band belted out the Waterloo fight song, the stout Knight emerged from a back room clad in Warrior - sweater and cap. “Harold Ballard has upstaged me today,” said Knight in reference to the Toronto Maple Leaf owner’s firing of GM Gerry McNamara the previous day. “But if he can make a winner out of the Leafs, then I can make a winner here.” Somehow, this comment didn’t really hint at success. “If Wally (Delahey, men’s athletic director) could clear the snow, we”could get at it tomorrow.” Naturally, Knight rejected any titles referring to divine intervention. “I’m not a miracle worker, you don’t just’come in and sprinkle magic dust everywhere and make everything work. I’m not making any predictions, but there’s no sense planning on losing.” From the outset, Knight establiwsoydthimself as a man of bold “Wh& you mention Waterloo football, people usually get a amirk on their faces - I m going

to wipe that smirk off people’s faces. It’s been a joke, but the joke’s over, I’m not going to guarantee that we’re going to win, but the teams in our division better fasten their chin straps because we’re going to knock your heads off. I like to look down while you’re lying on the ground and say suffer Bucker.’ you’ll be hurting after you plays us, that’s the way I play.” Knight’s coaching record gives him the right to be outspoken. At 104 wins, 47 losses and five ties, he’s the second most winningest coach in Canadian Interuniver8ity Athletic Union (CIAU) football history. As coach at Wilfrid Laurier from 1968 to 1983, he amassed five Ontario University Athletic Association (OUAA) titles, and participated in seven post season bowl games. He is given much of the credit for the Golden Hawks’ present _powerhouse status. “Everyone at the university is completely interested in the program,” added Knight. “We feel we’re not starting from a program that is destitute, despite our win-loss record. We have some quality players but we need to fill in some gaps to make the Warriors a truly competitive team.” Knight experienced no bad feelings in leaving the Argos, and even predicted they’ll win the Grey Cup in 1988. He also mentioned, “and I’m not pulling your leg, but I might do the same here.” Bold, energetic, optimistic Knight seemed like the ideal tonic for the anemic Warriors, But it was time for the disaster relief project to begin.

My way and the wrong way Knight wasted no time. On February 11, just three days after being hired, Knight met with the 1987 version of the Warriors. Sixty-five of the 70 team members listened as Knight laid down his cardinal rule of coaching: “there are two ways to do things, my way, and the wrong way.” Knight was intent on convincing veteran player8 who were disillusioned by the previous Fall’s turbulence to stick around for another season. “I’ll try to convince them they should come back and end their careers on a positive note+ Leaving after last season would be a negative note.” Knight’s energy and enthusia8m shone through as he announced his plans for a spring training camp in April. He was anxious to get the rebuilding started. But the onfield rebuilding took a temporary

back

seat

to some

more crucial off-field maneuvering - recruiting. With the calendar reading mid-February’ Knight was starting well behind his divisional opponente. Add to that UW’s tarnished football reputation, and the deck was stacked against Knight. However, Knight’s shining reputation overshadowed the program’s tainted one. By the

end of March, Knight had interviewed almost 50 prospective Warriors, Was it his reputation that attracted the recruits? “It doesn’t impress me,” Knight answered.“I don’t know if it impresses anybody else.” “It’s a non-ending thing, we have to recruit every year, I’d like to get 20 to 25 blu’e-chip athletes who are ood academically and good bal f players in here every year. It’s going to take some time, there’s not a lot of depth here right now? Once the novelty and hoopla surrounding Knight’s new post subsided, there was time to ask some more personal questions. For instance, why did he leave his lucrative position wiih the Argos to take over the floundering Warriors? “I wanted to get back into coaching, and this was m last chance to do it,” he replie B. He also had no fears about coaching in what was a hostile environment la8 t fall. “I’ve heard different versions of the story, but I’m not too interested in what has happened in the past - there ha&n? been a lot of positive things happen here in the past. To me, the slate is wiped clean.” _ He also reiterated his position as sole leader of the program. “Some players won’t be pleased with my coaching methods. But if they’re not, I can suggest 21 other schools, they can transfer to,” Knight also admitted that he had set dizzying goals for his reconstruction project, but didn’t promise that he could attain them. “To say we’re going to have a 7-O record, win the OUAA and

go on and win the College Bowl is ridiculous - but I’m planning on doing it. I believe that if you don’t shoot for that, you won’t get it. I’ve been around long enough to realize that if you say you’re going to go 2-5, you will. I thought my last year at Laurier was going to be a etruggle, but we finished first, It’s so hard to I

son&l will dictate what type of game we’re going to play, but we will be aggressive. I know right now that we will be a team that will attack you.” Knight’s reputation in the football world allowed him to lure Ken Huss to Waterloo as an assistant coat K . Huseey’s former employers include the Ottawa Rough Riders of the CFL and the New Jersey Generals of the now defunct USFL. ‘Now all Knight needs is a house to go with his foundation.

1 The Warriors haven’t layed a game since October, rl ut the number of off-field events could form the basis for a novel. An event like the player reballion was inevitable, After three years without a victory, change was needed if the program was to survive. Unfortunately, the situation became more hostile than most had hoped. Yet, the net result has been very positive. Now, the Waterloo football program has a fresh start - new coaches, reviewed and upgraded facilities and more importantly, a new sense of optimism. But will Knight make the WarAny talk of more than a couple riors a winner? It all comes down of victories for the Warriors to the 12 men on the field, and right now seems unrealistic. right now, this poses a problem.

SPORTS - ,+.

, Fencers foiled by fundhg When 15th century Spaniards Pons of Perpignan and Pedro de Terre developed modern fencing little did they know the Univeraity of Waterloo would not be able to fund their sport at the varsity level despite the 40-50 students who turn out for the sport during the fall and winter terms. Fencing which in the past was limited to the wealthy is available to all at Waterloo. The twenty dollar membership fee is the only expense that the student incurs. The club provides all the necessary equipment, The club is funded by the membership fees and a campus recreation grant. Fencing incorporates the use of three weapons. These weapons are the foil, the epee and the sabre, Each weapon is different in shape and weight. The foil has a rectangular blade and is the lighest weapon. As the foil is a thrusting weapon only hits with its tip count for points. The target area for the foil is the opponent’s torso, The second weapon is .the sabre. It is a slashing weapon and thrusting weapon and as such the whole length of the sword is used for scoring points. Its target area is anywhere above the opponent’s waist. The final weapon is the epee. The epee is the heaviest sword and has a triangular blade, It most resembles a traditional sword. Like the foil it is only a thrusting weapon. The target area for the epee is the largest. Any part of the opponent’s body

that is hit with the tip of the epee scores a point. Fencing emphasizes the building of muscular and mental reflexes and endurance. At Waterloo, students can fence for recreation or they can fence cornpetitively. There are tournaments in Toronto+ London, Hamilton and Ottawa. Currently

four of the club’s members are competing and are ranked just outside of the national top 100. The fencing club is currently a member of both the Ontario and the national fencing associations. Safety is stressed in fencing. Participants wear a wire mask over their heads, a padded tunic

Kendo Club update by R.J. white Despite being one of the newer clubs on the UW campus, the Kendo Club has enjoyed great success. Kendo means “The way of the Sword” and has evolved from a 2000 year tradition of Japanese Samurai. The Club is supported by enthusiastic members, including females, who had no previous experience in the sport. Within one year we proudly sent a team t.orepresent the university at the Ontario Kendo Tournament and at the University of Toronto Senior Kendo Tournament. One of the reasons for such success is frequent participation and support by guest players from other clubs, namely Mr, Tateno and Mr. Danny Saruyama. Anot her advantage for our club is the dedicated and quality instruction from the

and leather gloves. In the last two and one half years there has been only one minor accident, This cannot be said for many other campus recreation activities, The club attempted to attain varsity status but was turned down. A lack of a permanent head coach and the chronic un-

derfunding of athletics at Waterloo were the prime reasons for the rejection. Hopefully the fencers at Waterloo will be able to compete against other university fencers in the near future. The fencing club meets every Tuesday and Thursday from 7:00 p.m. until 1O:OO p.m. in the Blue Activity Area of the PAC.

New swim coach, I

Chief instructor, Taro Ariga [Black Belt 3rd Dan). He recently represented Canada as a member of the Canadian National Kendo Team at the World Kendo Tournament in May 1888. The team won third place out of 24 countries, and was finally beaten at the semi-finals by the Japanese National Team which went on to win the title. The club offers a great opportunit to work out, meet many new 7riends and learn about Japanese culture. We practice every Monday from 8:30 - IO:30 p.m. and Thursday from 7:30 - 10:3o D.m. at Studio One in the PAC. kveryone is welcome to share this -exciting new experience available on Campus. For more information, please contact Mr. R.J. White at 576-3897 (or UW ext. 2030) or Susan Choi at 7468678. Come out and join us!

The announcement of John Oesch as head coach of the University of Waterloo’s swim program by -Men’s and Women’s Co-ordinatora of interuniversity athletics Wally Delahey and Pat Davis, marks a new beginning for both the Warrior and Athena swim teams. Delahey in announcing the appointment said of Oesch “he’s familiar with our program, he has an excellent background and we feel he’s the one to help us in our drive for excellence in our swimming program.” Oesch, a graduate of Western, is now a science teacher and swim coach of Kitchener Forest Heights Collegiate. His other coaching experience includes as= sistant positions with the Region of Waterloo Swim Club and the “Y” Aquatic Club. Oesch’s familiarity with the Waterloo region swim program, beginning with his years as a competitive swimmer, led to his current position of Convenor for the Waterloo County Secondary

School Athletic Association coed swim league. He will assume his coaching duties beginning in September.
