y in Waterloo will definitely not be eau cabinet minister John Roberts in the next federal election. It was reported that after Roberts lost out in his nomination bid fnr the Trinity-Spadina riding in the spring, and was subsequently asked to contest nominations in Hamilton and Ottawa area ridings, he was attracted to aninvitation by supporters in the Waterloo riding because of the universities and his concern for science and environmental issues. In a June 17 interview, Roberts discussed how he was troubld with under-funded universities and believed earmarking federal money specifically for post-secondary institutions, and ost-secondary institutions only. was a necessary additive to &e solution.

aboard, the tragedy was only the Batest in a string of mishaps involving Americans in the Gulf. The Reagan administration has been plagued with problems since deciding to take action against instability in the Persian Gulf, instability caused by the seven-year-old war between Iran and Irao. 'The origibl intent [for U.S. inuolvementl was to protect but the Americans came into the conflict clearlv on the sideof Irao,wKeith I&&, associate director of the Centre for International and Strategic Studies at York University, paid Tuesday. Krause saiq the United States attempted to intervenein the Iran-Iraq war i n a peace-keeping capacity, but were unable to conceal an anti-Iranian intent: "The Americans tried to play it both ways: as a peace-keeper an& at the same time, they wanted to take sides in the war ... it doesn't work that way." Most of the Americans' problems, said Krause, can be attributed to their high-profile and interventionist policy. If the U.S. has maintained a low profile and taken a purely defensive stance in the Gulf, as have the Russian, British and French navies, there wpuld have been a different reaction on Iran's part, he said. Both Sahas and Krause said particuforeign intervwtian larly that of the Unitedstates has aggravated thh situation in

W E N T ARREST: Metro Toronto Pdice subdue protester during B demonstr$tkn against,the shooting down of lran Air flight 655 by a U.S. warship in t h e Pwsion Gulf. The more than five dozen police kept themselves busy by arresting about 30' people during the July 4th protest i n Toronto. the Gulf, adding that third arty action or mediation will do ettle. if anything, to stop the conhict. one of the bloodiest since the Second World War. The war began Sept. 22, 1980 when Iraq, apparently looking to stifle the Islamic Revolution which began with the 1979 expulsion of the Shah of Iran and to regain territory lost td Iran five years earlier, attacked its eastern neighbour. Iraq's leaders, Saddam Hussein, saw the possibility of Iraqi Shi'ites, who make up'some 80 per cent of the po ulation, fob lowing the lead of %eir counterparts in Iran. Such an occurrence would be dangerous to the largely secular and modern-thinking regime, just a s Iran's fundamentalist uprising led by Ayatollah Khomeini had been to Ine man Although Iraq had planned to make quick gains in revolution-
. -.
torn Iran, suchgains never materialized. And Iranian hopes of expanding the. Islamic Revolution across all of the Middle East - a rallying call at the revolution's outset - soon fizzled as well. very soon in the conflict, both countries turned to limitld border-skirmishes, attacking civilian centres, and attempting to cut each other's economic lifeline: oil exports. It was this last bit of strategy, carried out by aerial and naval attacks on refineries and oiltankers, that drew foreign navies into the Gulf. Determined to kee shipping lanep open, especialry in the narrow Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. stepped up its air and naval forces last year and began escorting vesse.1~ flying American flags and those of neutral countries.

It was Andrewa who announced at c Twoday m o m prehs conference that the well-known Liberal w d d remow b i selEfrom the nomination conteet wwhich -1Par,tbawSieeX~ at Bingeman Park. Llissahsion within the Liberal ranks lead to a decision which did not favour the Robert's Camp of supporters. The Liberal Party of Canada fOntariol averruled the decision of the local Liberal executive. w.ate~1oo'sexecutive had voted 18-5 in favour of postponing the July 12 nominatibn meeting. The Waterloo executive favoured a-September 19meeting; however, Elvio DelZotto, President of the Ontario wing of the federal Liberals ruled, much to the disdain 05 the Waterloo executive, that the nomination meeting must be held July 12. Roberto, due to a teaching commitment at the Australian Nationel University could only tentatively pledge his candidacy for the nomination if the Waterlpo executive had been.auacessfu1 in changing the meeting to a September date. Eventual victor Steve Woodworth was the-only one of the four candidates who protested the change to a Septernber nominetioh date. Woodworth had consolidated more support than aisy other candidate going into the July 12 meeting. Woodworth has been very frank about some controversial issues. He is adamaritly pro-life and very religiously oriented in his professional sfatwar, a lawyer. He reportedly prays with his clients arid asks th6m t0 seek God's permission in matters concerning divorce. President of the Waterloo Liberal riding association John Moore, who is also a UW professor had discussedthe poasibilfty of pursuing an injunction to halt the Ontario Wing organized nomination meeting in Waterloo. The battle was dedared lost, however, since such litigation would prove costly and the Waterloo association is not incorporated. Moore declared he supports the nomination results; however, members of the locd executive as well as members of a Mieeissauga ridin remain unhap y with the structure of appeal lef4 open to locaf ridings when t$ Liberal Party bf Canada [Ontario) and more s cifically, EnvioDelZotto, the prqsiden), make a 608. troveraid ecision. Mississauga East is experiencing a situstion where the local riding association differs from the Ontariv wing regarding the validity of nomination resuits.

ful in their attempt8 to have the nomination meeting changed from July 12 to September 19, A September 1S nomination data may have reausticaHy enabled R0btWtS to consoIidat8 the SUPport on8 of hia riveh~, Steve Woodworth, now benefits from. You have beeA a member of Parliament in the past. From where were y&u elected to Parliament previously? Robart8: I was elected first in 1968 in a rural area north of Toronto called York-Simcoe in the Trudeau landslide. After being defeated there in 1972, I repres_ ented the central Toronto riding of St. Paul33 for most of my political career. Imprint: How did ydu now come to choose Waterloo? Roberts: After the 1984 election, the riding I had represented was distributed into several ridinga. When I decided I would like to return to Ottawa because I thought there were issues that 1 concerned me, I looked around for a riding that would be available and where I felt I had a rapport with $the people, So originally I ran in the constim tuency of Trinity-Spadina where I was involved in a terrible battle which I lost. So at that stage, that was that. Then I was approached by Liberal representatives from Waterloo asking if I would come and run in Waterloo. It was not that I was looking for the. Waterloo nomination but rather that I was asked to represent this area. Imprint: You have not been active in politics since 1984, What have you been doing in the meantime? Roberts: I have been a professor of Liberal Science at Concordia University in Montreal. I am also a director of several companies and I have been doing some writing and television work. Imprint: The Liberal Party has been divided over the leadership of John Turner. Where do you stand on Mr. Turner’s leadership? Roberts: I contested the leadership of the Liberal Party in early 1984 so at that stage I obviously thought that I would make a better leader of the party than Mr. Turner. But the Liberal Party did not agree and they chose him instead. We have a leadership review mechanism and he was reaffirmed by that procedure in 1986. Some members of caucus + have clearly been unhappy with his leadership but my feeling is that he has been chosen and supported by the party. He k not going to resign and he is clearly going to lead us into the next election, Imprint: So you are willing to work together with him? Robsrte: Oh yes, I intend to work for him. Imprint: How do you see the Imprint:
major concerns of universities in their relations with the federal government? Roberta: As far as the universi-’ ties are concerned, the problems deal mainly with funding. As far as the government is concerned the problems are more structural. In 1978 we adopte‘d a new funding formula with the provincial government8 for university funding. I had just become a member of government at that time, I think that the formula which we developed turned out to be unwise. This was because they disconnected the transfer of funds to the provincial governments from any criteria tying those funds to achieve certain purposes in post-secondary education. The provinces can basically do what they want with those funds. You see the federal government has inGreased proportionally their funds available to university funding and the provincial governments have cut theirs back. Itiprint: What can you offer the university community to ensure that some of the provincial abuses of federal money designated for post-secondary education are checked?
Robarter: I think
that we will have to require as we do with medi-care that certain standards be met if federal funds are con-. tinued. There are several ways in which this can be done but a connection must definitely be there. I also feel that universities must be encouraged to develop more specialized* centres of excellence. The current government has begun on this issue, but i am not sure that they have thought it through all that well, Imprint: What is your position on abortion and the recent Supreme Court of Canada’s decision to overturn the existing law? Roberh: I supported and voted for the existing law, I felt that it was the best comprqmise. I don’t know what position I would take on the new legislation because we have not seen it yet. There are two principles that the new law must address. First, there ark two interests here - the interest of the woman who does not want to have a childand the interest of society: At what time does life take place? But for me the strongest point is that me or any other member of Parliament does not have the right to impose our views on the rest of society. This is a moral decision and the government does not have the right to enforce moral restrictions on the population. Moral decisions are not like other laws which can be defined. Imprint: What is your opinion of the soon to be new refugee laws of Canada? Roberts: What we have here is a terrible travesty and irresponsi-. bility in government. The legislation the Conservatives have brought forward is quite clearly
unconstitutional and I don’t think there is any reasonable doubt about that. It does not meet the the standards of the charter of rights.
“what we have hare is a terrible travesty” Imprint:
Canada wants to buy nuclear submarines. What do you think? Robert& Terrible, terrible plan! We are going to buy these submarines and we are going to detect something and then what are we going to do? Are we going to shoot them out of the water or are we going to just say hello and ask them to identify themselves? Do we think that the various nations currently in the Artic waters are going to stop coming just because we have bought some submarines? No they are going to continue going there. The US. insists these are international waters. It makes no sense to spend all this money on something that our allies do not even want us to do. These submarines will not change anything at all except that we can prove that other nations are in the Artic, If we are concerned about sovereignty in the North, as I am, then we should look for other alternatives. Imprint: What are the alternatives? % Roberts: By creating a greater presence in the.Brea you can establish sovereignty. I would like to see the Canadian Armed Forces developed much inore in the Artic, both on the ground and in the ziir. For the sea, why is Canada not a world leader in the ice breaker technology? Today Finland is the place to go for the best ice breakers, if Canada was tops in this area we would be able to control and monitor traffic through the North-West Passage, Imprint: The U.S. and NATO are not anxious to see Canada spending money on submarines.. Why are we ao eager to go against our allies when there is
not complete public support for this move even in Canada? Roberts: The Americans think that this move is useless but if there was going to be something worthwhile for Canada from the purchase of submarines then I wouldn’t care what the Americans thought. But it is not a positive NATO support policy either. Its a way to spend a lot of money and possibly not even get much economic stimulation from it. Imprint:. While you have been in politics what has been your most enjoyable posting or responsibility? Robert& I think Minister of the Environment. It brought me into contact with Parks Canada and a variety of issues which I found very chalenging to deal with. The whole area of water policy which had until then been igi nored, was discussed. The Secretary of State was also interesting particularly because of the cultural issues. Imprint: You must still then be concerned about the acid rain issue. Roberts: Yes, I feel that the current government abandoned a lot of good work we had done on acid rain. But I have remained involved in environmental concerns even as a private citizen.
“The current government abandoned work” IIa lot of good Ihi@hif~
‘Let’s talk -‘about ’ free; trade. How is it going to affect Waterloo? Rcjbart8: Firstly let me make it clear that I am against this free trade agreement. In this area; the real concern has to be for high tech industry. In the short term there will probably be marginal positive effects but the long term is not so optimistic. We are the part of Canada which has access to major American markets so if any part of the country is going to do well from free trade it will be here. But I maintain that on an issue of this nature, I must keep a
national perspective. Free trade will only exacerbate regional differences and create more problems for the national unity of Canada,
“Free trede will only exacerbate regional differences” How do you see the futtire of Canada? Robert@: Firstly I am a Liberal and I think we should adapt Liberal policies to our changing environment. I believe in a strong national government and I want that government to protect the common heritage of Canadians across the country in the form of the Charter of Rights, social policy and economic poli.cy. I want free trade within Canada (between the provinces) and so I am therefore yery much opposed to Meech Lake and free trade with the U.S. Both Meech Lake and free trade will lead to a decentralized, neutered federal government which I don’t think will be able to keep the structure of Canadian society together and promote the common basis of opportunity and citizenship. Secondly, the new chalbnge is to find an approach by government that will promote new economic growth. Canada no longer Can expect the natural growth that has occurred since ‘ifi&. We must. ‘wt bg’ blase I bbortt econom’ic gro%ih; &b ‘tiiiat-&:t ‘mope precise brig term abj*ctives. We must look for a key tector strategy. ‘We find those iareas that Canada has or has potential competitive superiority and concentrate government su port in those areas 80 we can iea Pize that potential. Therefore, instead of the kind of generalized belief in free trade currently being expressed by the Conservative government, we need to think through carefully, how over the next twenty to forty years we are going to use the assets of Canada in the best way * to provide growth and jobs. rmpriat:
Persian Gulf conflict While agreeing that third parties do have some rights in the international waters of the Gulf, both Sahas and Krause said Iran and, to a certain extent, Iraq have difficulty accepting such intervention. “Iran certainly believes no external power has a legitimate” right to be there, said Krause. This is especially true of the Americans, who are hated by the Iranians and who make an easy target for Iran’s retaliation in the Gulf, he added. All such intervention has done nothing to ease the tension in the Gulf, Krause said. To the contrary, it has caused added difficulties there and will continue to do so, At the heart of the conflict be-
way of life +.. a different set of values,” said Sahas, Western cultures try to describe Islam in the context of Western religions, which is where they fail to understand the factors involved in Iran, he said. This misunderstanding led the US. $0 adopt policies which “rub the fundamentalists the wrong way,” said the UW Prof. And, he added, it- is the fundamentalist factions which fan the flames of hatred and revolution; their cause-is aided when the United States, or other parties, set themselves up for violent backlashes, as in the case of last week’s tragedy. “Incidents like this ‘are very sad . . . they add fuel to the fundamentalist movement and can be readily exploited,” said Sahas. “This was more than a mistake on the part of the U.S. . . . it’s a

tween Iran and Iraq, is the Islamic Republic: the West misunderstands the nature of Islam and the Iraqis oppose Iran’s attempts to export its revolution. “The West sees Islam as a religion, but in the Middle East you’re talking a-bout a whole
108s.”
Krause echoed this line of thought,. saying anti-American sentiment in Iran may reinforce the people’s willingness to continue fighting. Even if recent American activity in the Gulf doesn’t extend the war, neither Sahas and Krause _*
see a quick end to the Iran-Iraq conflict. A mediated settlement, whether it ifivolves the United Nations or any of the two coun-
tries’ Arab neighbours, is un-, likely, said Krause, Ir’eq has
made cease-fire overtures on several occasions but Iran has demanded conditions unsuitable to the Iraqis, the three biggest being: the removal of Saddam Hussein as Iraq’s leader, that Iraq accept blame for the war, and that Iraq pay reparations to ’ Iran. Given the current attitudes in both countries, such a settlement is highly unlikely, said Krause. A leadership change in Iran when Khomeini dies, especially if the moderate elements take control, would have the greatest influence on the status of the war, said Krause. Sahas shared this opinion. saying the war is largely a conflict between Hussien and Khomeini, a war without much of the financial or territorial gains associated with many similar conflicts. When Khomeini dies, the war might come to an end, he added,

CFS-referendum would fail Remember w’h& UW students voted against joining the Canadian Federation of Students which had a $60,000 membership price tag at the time? The month of the referendum was November. Now with the UW Federation of Students sponsored free vote corn leted and only stale by two terms, our student government, the Fe t! eration of Students, are hinting they are prepared to schedule another referendum. In the Fall term, the debate of whether to join the Canadian Federation of Students quickly polarized at the UW student government level. Students indicated they were not interested in the,issues or CFS by voting “no” to the tone of 1,349 votes versus the 745 voters who said “yes.” This is not the article to criticize the more than 11,000 eligible undergrads who did not participate in the referendum; however, the blame for poor voter turn-out at UW student polling stations cannot be blamed entirely on student apathy. At issue here is whether students want the Federation of Students committing more resources to take the issue back to the UW electorate. The Federation volunteers and executive who may support a new referendum cannot erase the memory of the November referendum which former Fed President Ted Carlton’ summed up as a political blunder. Any new referendum publicity could not overcome the attention memories of the negative November vote would receive not, now, or everi’within the year. It has only been eight months since students at this university declared they had no interest in CFS. A Waterloo sponsored attempt to rejuvenate popular interest in CFS will fail. Instead, the onus is on the Canadian Federation of Students to earn the support of the average Canadian student, not just on our “in the know” student leaders* Currently, the Canadian Federation of Students is run like a private, elitist oligarchy. The CFS executive make no attempt to completely reach out to even a majority of Canadian institutions with information about what their organization is doing. Their record for distributing press -releases to the media, which is the crucially important mechanism whereby such an organization is held responsible to its fee paying members is dismally poor. Until CFS improves its record in this area of national campus exposure, this Ottawa-based organization belongs to its executive and offers only- silent partner+ or at best, a handcuffed status to any prospective member school. . In the coming months, don’t’listen to UWs politicians tell you ho’w great CFS is, let CFS convince you of its merits, then make a decision. In the meantime, members of UW’s Federation of Students, although lacking membership status, can only be complimen)ed for continuing to attend CFS’ functions which allows them to keep pacewith the Fanadian . ,I_ ‘student I brat r<,movement. .,c . a .‘

Whitewashing On Sunday morning, July 3, while we were enjoying the weekend after Canada Day, on the other side of the world, two hundr.ed and ninety people were blown‘out of the sky. They were on an franair A300 Airbus: businessmen, shoppers and families of Iranian, Arab, Korean and Japanese origin with altogether sixty six children. Twice a week, on Sundays and Tuesdays, Iranair schedules a 28 minute flight, Flight 655 was listed in the international aviation timetables. At 825 a.m. local time, about a third of the way into its trip, the plane was hit by two surface-to-air missiles fired by the USS Vincennes, believing it was an F-14 fighter aircraft. -The downing of Iranair Flight 855, now listed as the sixth worst air disaster in history, may also be distinguished as ranking third of those six caused by direct human action as opposed to mechanical failure or weather conditions. On June 23, 1985, 329 peo le were killed including two chi Y dren of a biology professor on campus when an Air India Boeing 747 crashed off the coast of Ireland. Sikh extremists were implicated in the disaster. On September 1, 1983, 269 people were killed when. a Korean Air Lines’ 747 was shot down by a Soviet fighter after flying through Soviet airspace near Sakhalin Island. Obviously this latter incident jumps to mind in relation to the present tragedy; both involved the use of a government’s military might against a civilian target. An interesting contrast exists between the official responses of the two incidents. After the downing of KAL Flight 007 in 1983 we had President Ronald Reagan calling the Soviets “terrorists and liars” and the American Secretary of State George Shultz saying there was “no excuse for this appalling act.” There was talk-of sanctions against the U.S.S.R. by the world community. In the media, editorial headlineslike “A Pack
disaster
of Lies” were common, as wellas such absurd titles as “Rightest was target, Washington aide says” seriously asserting that an ultra-conservative congress‘man; well known as an outspoken anti-communist on board the plane was the true reason for the attack. “Moscow knew the congressman was on board and waylaid the plane for that reason.“! So now, once again, a superpower has -shot down a civilian aircraft, killing twenty-one more people than in 1983. Where is the outrage? Beside the Iranians, who are understandably upset, what are the Soviets saying, after all, they are now in the position of scoring propaganda points against their
accusers of five years earlier. In fact, apart from comments about “trigger happy” warships and a dubious Gulf policy, the Soviet Union has resisted the temptation of muddying the waters with hysteria. What are the similarities between these two catastrophes! As already mentioned, both involve the military attacking a civilian target-albeit mistaken for something else, The Iranair airliner .was in ti warzone; the Korean Airline was hundreds of miles off course, flying in a militarily sensitive zone. The Iranair airliner, it seems was only an indistinguishable “blip” on the radar screen. The Korean airliner was flying at night, seemingly resembling a, spy plane.
Finally, in each /Case, nearly three hundred innocent people died for no other reason than being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Conclusion: neither of these incidents was an “accident” both powers aimed and fired, instead both are pvrely and simply “mistakes.” Perhaps if the incidents had been reversed, the Americans would now be like the Soviets, subdued before a human tragedy stemming as much from human error as technical limitations and political maneuvering. The obscenity of a moral stance in these circumstances is revealed. In 1983, the shooting, down of a civilian airliner was called an “unbelievably barbaric act.” In 1988., the shooting down of a civilian airliner is called “an understandable accident.” America first heard the news on July 4, “Independence Day.” In the midst of the general celebrations and parades all major political friends and foes, with the notable exception of Jesse Jackson, lined up behind the President’s response. The positive part of Reagan’s statement was the hints df reparation to the families affected; yet, criticism of the Gulf policy and the U.S. Military’s version of events was silent or at best niuted. I have little doubt what one man would say to this comparatively mild response. I don’t know his name, he owns a supermarket in Hormuz. He was at the Iranair office in Dubai, waiting for his wife, their eight children, his wife’s brother and the brothers wife, all coming in on Iranair Flight 855. When news came of the downing of the plane, he “just went out,of his mind, going from pillar to post and banging his head,” a witness reported. Later

Today’s supermarket shelves arti stocked with between 6,000 and 8,000 different items. Each item is carefully wrapped in its own elaborate packaging in order to entice the consumer to buy that particular product. Most of this packaging material is eventually thrown away. The very properties that make materials like glass, tin, and plastics good for packaging also make them a long term waste disposal problem because they don’t easily break down or biodegrade when thrown into landfills, Styrofoam cups and egg cartons, for example, will not break down during our lifetime. Non-degradable goods and packages account for 58 per cent of our discarded wastes including 90 per cent of glass, 50 per cent of plastics, and 42 per cent of paper. For every $1,000 in supermarket sales, 300 pounds of corrugated cardboard and 65 pounds of other packaging wastes will be generated. Environmental

United States demonstrated against the use of ozone depleting and non-biodegradable Styrofoam at their local McDonalds. The “McToxics Campaign” enabled local citfzens to distribute literaiure to customers urging them to ask for paper packaging instead of styrofoam. It also gave them the opportunity to talk to the local media about the pack: aging problem. Similar actions have been used against Styrofoam meat trays in supermarkets, Several different types and levels of legislation can be created. Bans can be placed on packaging. Berkely, California has implemented a municipal ban on CFC-blown Styrofoam. Halton region in Ontario has considered banning corrugated cardboard from existing landfills. Legislative bills which encourage waste reduction, limit multi-layer packaging, ban plastic rings joining beverage containers have been introduced in several U.S. states including Minnesota, Vermont, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. In Ontario, councilors from Peel region initiated a province-wide petition to have the Ontario Government force manufacturers to use packaging that is not harmful to the environment. To support this petition write to Premier David Peterson at Queen’s Park, Instead of legislation another option is the imposition of a special surcharge or tax on non-recyclable packaging. In Ontario beverage containers must be recyclable otherwise they are not allowed to compete. But this program is limited to only beverage containers. In some U.S. states customers can return empties to a machine where they can recover deposit costs. Some U.S. states like Massachusetts are considering placing a “disposal tax” onnon-reusable or nonrecyclable packaging to better reflect the true cost oflandfills. For public education purposes, the Minnesota State Pollution Control Agency implemented the CALL program. GALL stood for “Gosh Awful Ludicrous Leftovers.” Some of the past winndrs include throwaway razors, aerosol can propellants, and individually wrapped dental floss, In Germany some environmentally superior products are given a special label. However some people complain the tar eted products are obscure. No specia 1abeIing has been applied to packaged material. The Canadian Government is considering a similar program that targets recyclable, and non-CFC producing packaging.

Despite the strong lead performance of the young Colm Feore, Stratford’s Richerd III was often disappointing in its stiffness.

DO.UG PULLS HISSLUG by Andrew R&age ImprSnt staff
Mr. Beqnett also didn’t like the segregation of his captive audience. Guys on one side chicks on the other. Well, the singing weasel leapt into the crowd and literally threw some of the “we’re just out with the girls” girls ‘at the “do ya think we can score tonight?” Engineering geeks. “Just dance with the guy. Ya don’t hafta sleep with him!” was Doug’s command.
That chunky little lounge lizard, Doug “the Slug” Bennett+ ahem, graced the stage of our very own Fed Hall - much to the repulsion of several members from the audience. After all of these engineering types paid $9 each to see a half-assed cdncert, The SIug alienated several members of the audience. We were all bombarded with “Get your hands outta your pockets. Quit playin’ pDcket pool, Don’t pick your nose. .You guys like women or what?” Now, a mild dose of crudeness is fun at times, but a whole damn concert can be rather irritating.
Being an avid fan of audience participation, Doug subjected his audience to some unusual antics. He jumped down into the crowd, stuffed his mike down a few girls’ tops so that it looped through the bottom and dragged them along behind him as he continued his way through the crowd. In a most humorous phallit display, The Slug made one young lady stand on the dance floor in front of a mike-and sing with him. .With her facing the stage, he stood’on a speaker case that made him about half a body taller and sang out to the crowd. We think she knew what she was doing.

Contradictory to the last statement, The Slug revealed that his latest release Tomcat Crawl is about going out to bars after a hard-workin’ day to try ts get some “poontang” as Mr. Bennett referred to it. This is a very sexually oriented individual. This was displayed as the chubby “cinder block” of a man pushing -40 pretended to spurt his spunk all over his audience, What a mess. fhe music’was predictably redundant. “It’s got to be Monday, Monday, Mondiy, Monday., monday; monday, mundane.” Definitely classic lyrics. “Makin’ it work, Makin’ it work. Makin’ it work.. .and work.. .and work...and work some more,” Nothing else can really be said about his very unimaginative little toad, or his band, or* the show, His slimy behavior obviously must be rooted in some sexual deficiency or bizarre and cruel . sexually twisted childhood.

That a movie should be made using baseball as a metaphor for romance is not surprising listen to even a bunch of nanjocks discussing their romantic misadventures (okay, non-adventures), and you’ll hear all sorts of expressions like, “Would I like to hit a home run with her,” “Man, I couldn’t even get to first base,” and the ever-cringing, “I always get pulled for a pinchhitter.” But what is surprising about Bull Durham is that it is pulled off with such a sophisticated, urbane wit. The film opens with a sweep of Annie’s (Susan Sarandon) Cooperstown, N.Y. house filled with all baseball memorabilia, accompanied by a gospel chorus and. Annie’s -purring drawl telling of the religion of baseball, its mysticism, its ritual, its zen, Since converting to baseball from the Baptist Church, she has become a fervent disciple of the local “A” Ball team, the Durham Bulls, attending every game and hook&ng up with one player a season (“I’m monogamous during the baseball season”) and already sex is brought to the fore. She brings a savvy to the game, helping out the players with’ their mechanical problems on and off the field and ensuring her chosen man of the summer the best season of his career. For the purposes of Bull Durham, she takes under her ample wing a hotshot pitching prospect who.goes bjr the name of “Nuke” (Tim Rbbbins). Sort of a Todd Stottlemyre with an amazing arm hampered by control problems, (in his professional debut, Nuke strikes out a league record eighteen but also walks a league record eighteen, picks off the press box and. the P.A. announcer, and manages to nail the Bulls’ mascot twice); Nuke is greener than, well, the lawns in K-W anyway. Annie’s job is to mature Nuke as a pitcher through her sexual tutoring, including such practices which may or may not be in the Kama Sutra as. tying him Up to her bedposts and reading him Walt Whitman. . Crash Davis (anolher brilliant performance by Kevin Costner, an actor with as much easy charm as there is in Hollywood); a journeyman minor league catcher wha is the opposite of Nuke all baseball smarts, short on talent - enters the scene as the catcher picked up by The Bulls to teach Nuke how to pitch instead of just throwing, What happens from there is pure magic of a sort Hollywood has rarely. been able to muster recently. The wild exuberance of locker7room pranks and rhubarbs with the umpires, the dimwittedness of ballplayers, the cliches of sports reporting (in one scene, Crash teller the greenhorn Nuke to write down such platitudes as *‘We just have to take things one day at a time,” “It was a real team effort,” and “I’m happy just to be here,” which Nuke proceeds to spout off in interviews with the veneer of Casey Stengelese. wisdom), and the superstitions of lqseball 411 get their due. But the real joy of Bull Durham lies in the dialogue and the .performances of Costner

Admittedly, though, unless you’re a real baseball head in the first place, the kind who gets off on the introductions of the starting lineups almpst as much as the All-Star Game itself, much of the humour will be lost on you as baseball jargon like ’ “dying quail” and “hanging curveball” (the ultimate longball pitch) is turned into a poetic extended sexual metaphoi, culminating in

a heated exchange between Costner and Sarandon centering around the, urn, foul pole. I could bore you to tears with an analysis of the mythological structures of Bull Duiham but that would be just so much academic bull, All you need to worry about is that Bull Durham is as entertaining as a Kelly Gruber headfirst backdoor slide into home plate.

It took the non-LP track Rebel Without a Pause to lift them above the hip-hop masses and establish them as the most powerful, important and intense musical group on the planet. Delayed for nearly four months beyond the scheduled release date, PE’s second LP, .It
Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Ue Back has survived the
acid test - Public Enemy have built upon the superiority they demonstrated in Rebel and have shed and surmounted the shortcomings of their first LP. Very simply, they have made the most brilliant rap LP ever recorded bursting with more energy and ideas per second than rock lp’s have had in a decade. From the initial explosion of Bring The Noise through the Slayer-sampled assault of She Watch Channel Zero?! and capped by the twin-barrelled assault of Rebel Without a Pause and Prophets of Rage, Nation of Millions pounds, slashes, explodes and rocks like no other album, For 58 minutes plus, the normal boundaries and rules of music and noise are left behind
live concert segments and raw noise are segued, mixed any placed in collision to shattering effect, Even more than on Yet Bum Rush The Show, the songs of Public Enemy have been infused with a density and intensity of noise value. They leave no frequency range untouched in their effort to awaken and ignite their listeners ‘the lowest bass notes, midrange and the most grating treble distortion are all manipulated and filled with noise,

is a gospel . There’s really no need to worry too much, about Public Enemy; though, I get the same sense from them as I do when I listen to the early speeches of Malik El-Shabazz [Malcolm X). Like Shabazz, Chuck D and Flavor Flav seem to be straining at
the ideological leash put on them by Griff and his leader, Louis Farrakhan. They’re far too intelligent to swallow everything that Farrakhan says without the bitter taste eventually causing them to spit something back. For now, though, Public Enemy gain from the tension - which exists in their music.

think they were meant to beanalpzed too deeply anyway], Field Day is a good skatecorejthrash album, particularly if you aren’t into really hardcore stuff. The band has made a conscious effort to tone’ down the intensity of their sound, realizing the limitations of the hardcore scene (that is, a relatively limited audience). They even include a couple of quiet, reflective cuts, to show there is more to them than the thrasher stereotype might suggest. Still, the majority of the album is heavy, sped-u pop, a la The Ramones, partial Py hidden behind a wall of wailing guitar and driven by a beat that will have you bouncing off the ceiling.

It Take8 u Nation of MilIions to Hold Us Back, unlike their firrit album, spends no time indulging in wasteful boast and ego-stroke - every song addresses ideological and social issues, with stances and views harder ~ and more unflinching than before. However, as they have brought their ideology more front and centre in their music, it more and more begins to stick like a hairball in the throat. In particular, the rabidly anti-white theology of Professor Griff, their philbsophical leader, is beyond any type of discussion. How can you reasonably examine a theory which maintains that whites fornicated with dogs7 In particular with a zealot
Music which strains at the edges of uncontrolled noise, ideology which veers close to racist zealotry and an image which could far too easily be seen as a condoning of guns and violence.

Like Criminal Minded, By All Meens Necessary features guns on the cover, but this time it is in reproduction of a famous picture of Malcolm X, who was in the act of defending his house from firebombing at the time the picture was taken. The connection to Malcolm X runs deeper than that though; the phrase By ail means necessary is drawn from his speeches. Unlike ‘Public Enemy who focus upon Malcolm X’s earlier Black Muslim period, Boogie Down Productions draw from the philosophies he exressed during the last year of K is life, when his split away from conventional BIack Muslim Ideologies and Elijah Muhammed allowed him to tap into a deeper, more unifying ideal. What makes the ra of KRSOne so fascinating is t\ e way he takes various threads of conspiracy theory, pacifism and nononsense B-Boy practicality and weaves sense and unity from this tapestr of seemingly unconnected i J eas./ On the album, Stop The Violence stands out as the most succinct example of this ability+ where comments on USA for Africa, accusation of drug peddling by Vietnam veterans and pleas

Well, surprise - he’s playing bass in a band called Camper Van Beethoven. And just as Victor was out of step with the other kids his age, Camper Van Beethoven (CVB] is out of step with the other bands in America’s underground rock scene .[not to mention mainstream rock). Just as everything old becomes new again, CVB have become so out of step they have gone full cycle and are now considered one of the hippest bands in America, receiving attention from the music press on both sides of the Atlantic.

Heck, they even have.a professional graphics artist to make the album cover - a change from their doodles which have adorned previous albums.

In attempting to describe CVB’s music, one inevitably ends up wandering a spectrum of popular music from around the globe and across the years. International influences come from areas such a8 Brazil and Asia. Tania, from their latest album, could easily be a traditional Ukrainian polka. More domestic influences run through early Beefheart and Zappa, Country -L Joe and the Fish, Einsturzende Neubaten and Sonic Youth, As the band has stated previously, they don’t try to copy any particular style or genre, just “approximate it badly.” To coin a phrase from the opening song of Our Be-

Bill Laswell’s name is synonymoys %with the cutting edge of the New York scene, having. -been deeply involved with the likes of The Colden Palominos, and he has done time behind the production boards for a plethora of avant-funk projects, so it should come &s no surprise that Hear No Evil is a rich listening experience. At its best, Hear No Evil is masterfully atmospherir: jazzfunk, six tracks of loose-limbed, hypnotic rhythms 7 ‘trance music if ever I’ve heard it: Laswell serves up a whole eclectica of influences that he somehow manages to integrate into a 800thing, cohesive melange of Eastern and African stylizations. Songs like Bullet Hole Memory and Kingdom Come are sensualI steamy crawls through the jungle undergrowth, exotically tuned bass and guitar swooping and diving like festooned bir-ds whilst other strings whine and an array of percussion bring back memoriks of George “Video King” Harrison’s Within You ,withaut You. Intoxicating listening to be sure, but sometimes a little too much of a swi’nging watch of a record; Kingdom Come is a remarkable cut, but Leswell seems to have had it on the brain during the entire recording of Hear No Evil and the result is that .we don’t hear nearly enough evil at least not what Laswell can offer. Variety is not at a pre-_ mium, the whole thing veering a little,too close to new agish ambience and repetition. Only the aptly titled Assassin breaks the mold of lush, studied compositions in favour of the rhythmic attack I had hoped for. On subeequent albums, hopefully Laswell will learn to harness his indulgences a little more - maybe he could be persuaded to bring4n Adrian Sherwood to look after production chores and hammer us with the kind of record African Head Charge has only dreamed of.

Western’s wonderkid, John Stiefelmeyer, single-handily dismihtles UW in overtime. He scores six in the extra frame, 26 for the game on a l&for-l7 day from the floor. As a team, the ‘Stangs shoot a shining 66 per cent from the field. It’s a day long chess game, just
like a playoff battle, with neither club leading by more than eight. In fact, in the last 6:ll of regulation time, the two clubscombine for only 10 points. Froese paces UW with 25 and McNeil1 chips in 18.
