Debate g

OFS lawsuit ( pending against Wright concerns Feds York student government

by John Mason Imprint staff

by lobn Mason Imprint staff The Council of York Students Federation (CYSF) at York University is facing possible legal action by the Ontario Federation of Students [OFS) because their annual membership fees have still not been paid. The outstanding balance was due by the end c of the academic year dating back to April, 1988. The OFSis mobilizing a letter writing campaign directed at York's CYSF to try and pressurize the student government to remit the $30,000 , outstanding so that apursuit of a legal route will not be uecessary.

CYSF President Tammy Hasselfeldt said the major reason for withdrawing from the OFS was not the fees involved but rather the lack of "grass roots suooort" for the org&i%ation and' b h a t she termed "ineffective lobbying of the government". UW's Federation of Students participate as a member school in the Ontario Federation of Students.

According to Wendy Rinella of the UW Federation of Students the CYSF has broken trust with the students of York University and the mandate given them has been abused.

feeLfhairmmbership has never been legally established.

The OFS i s a lobby group created in 1972 to represent the uniqed concerns of post-second a y education students in Ontario to the government at Queen's Park. Over 250,000 students are presently represented by the provincial body in negotiatiomp with goverhment and opposition representatives.

York's students federation w a s one of t h e founding members of the provincial student lobby group and since its inception, CYSF has attended OFS meetings as members, presented motions as members, and voted on motions as members.

According to existing OFS policy, a student referendumis to be held at the campus level in order to alter membership status within the OFS. CYSF has decided that York will deny any previous legal membership status linking it to OFS. The CYSF has not conducted a referendum on theYork campus concerning the withdrawal, rather CYSF made an executive board decision to withdraw from the lobby. Because no referendum was conducted, the OFS will not recognize the CYSF's authority to unilaterally withdraw York's membership.

"Publish or perish" has been the refrain heard from professors on campuses around the world for eons. But UW President Doug Wright made statements in the Ontario Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology ublication, Challenges, which ave publicly and officially altered this concept at UW. In the March issue he stated, "Here (at UW) to a degree, it's how many businesses you own or are tied to" that determine how successful a professor is.

UW's student government has been eyeing the situation. The Federation of Students are concerned that professors at UW, have with this statement, now been given official consent to lower the priority given to students in their classes. VicePresident [University Affairs) Wendy Rinella says, "We have always f d t that students were low on the list of priority but now there is definite approval from the top for professore to put their research and cansu1ti;g work

of their organization."

Tammy H~sselfeldt Rinella refuted Hasselfeldt's claims that the OFS is not an effective lobby group by stating the organization is second only to the Canadian Labour Congress in size within the province.

The OFS, she stated is immediately contacted by the government for reaction and input on issues of relevance to students.

York's Hasselfeldt has expressed a willingness to negotiate an out of court settlement of the dispute. She stated, "Communication has broken down right now between ourselves and the OFS. I am going to be contacting them [the OFS) shortly and begin discussions toward solving this problem."

Campus Question page 5

splaitb going to receive such a high priority at this university:' said Fed President Adam Chamberlain. "then we are really going to run into problems in terms of where this institution goes. It's a university not a business or corooration no matter how manv iimes Doug Wright calls himseif CEO." the .--"If this campus is going to show that there is commitment to areas of study in which research is not easily patented then we have to start discussing a method of finding a balance between pure and applied research," stated Chamberlain.

"UW must encourage research in areas which are obviously not applied in order to suppress the business sense from getting out of hand," he went on to say.

Behind this on-going dilemma lies one of the major premises applied research versus pure research on which this university has been built. That is, the UW administration's aim to forge a productive relationship between the business world and the university academia so that hightechnology companies will be spawned from the resulting research atmosphere.

After Dr. Wright's original comment became public, faculty members immediately voiced their concern and disapproval of the president's stance in numerous articles appearing in the UW Gazette and the Kitchener-Waterloo Record.

An obvious problem exists when so much of the funding for research in a given institution is provided by outside agents. The corporations and governments paying the bills begin to acquire a larger say in what research will be conducted. Thus research with narrower, specific, applied goals tends to gain prominence over the broader pure studies.

But Doug Wright is seemingly intent on creating a researchdriven industrial complex revolving about the technical

expertise that UW can attract.

Dr. Wright sees this university competing with such American institutions as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford, Cal Tech, UCLA, and Berkley.

Already. UW is recognized 6s a world leader in robotics, artificial intelligence and machine vision. Wright sees the

UW on handout list byMikeBmwn Inprint 8ta.B

’

The Ontario government is in the process of awarding capital grints to provincial post-secon; daFy iastitutions.

The University of Waterloo was recently placedon the handout list to join the r&l& of McMaster Universiti, U&versity of Guelph, Trent U&&$ty, University of Toror$& $&aurentian University, Alg&&CXollege, and Queen’s Lhiivetiiljjjri ‘- ; Colleges and Universities Minister Lyn .McLeod began making the anneuncements lune 30. The WW community was informed of its capital grant of $442,655 closer!to July 15.

The grants BILL intended to permit an expansf$,n of enrollment.

Wtiterloo’s sum”wil1 allow an estimated 237 extra entrance pl&ements of L’first year students.

The $12 million distributed so far, is part of a $40 million four year commitment announced in the April budget. The monies are an attempt to provide universities with mompaces for appli? cants due to an expected increase of around 10 per cent in university hopefuls.

Ws grant will permit UW to improve its existing Engineering graphics laboratory and carry out alterations to the study area in the Mathematics and computer building.

Work is now under

way.

Gut of eight post-secondary institutions scheduled to receive capital grants, Waterloo ranked fifth. U of T received the largest chunk of grant money at $1,532,000.

Toronto officials indicated the funding will provide an additional 3,874 student places.

Trent’a award of $792,000 will generate 145 additional places.

M&faster’s $653,184 will generate 280 additional student places. Guelph’s $&#Z,OOa will open up 180 student places.

Queen’s will be able to offer 275 additional spaces to applicants because of its $432,400 grant.

Laurentian’s $260,900 will add 207 student spaces. At $103,246, Algoma College will be able to accept 30 additional students.

The Ontario Federation of Students official position on the grant announcement is 300 little, too late.”

OFS claims the grant allocations “wilI do little to ease the overcrowded, physically deteriorating state of Ontario’s universities.” in % July 7 press release, OFS calls upon the government to realize that increased participation in Ontario’s post-secondary system is here to stay.

OFS Chairperson Shelley Potter insists “Classrooms will remain jam packed, and cramped portables will become an even more common sight on campuses?

Federation V.P.3 full-time this fall The Federation of Students pl&ns to make its vice-presidents full-time positions for the fall.

Currently vice-presidents work full-time in I the summer and part time in the fall and winter. Federation President Adam Chamberlain says “one full-time person, myself, isn’t enough (in the fall).

Full-time vice-presidents in the fall should allow the Federation to carry through effectively on many of the projects started in -the summer.

full-time positions.

The issue was brought before the students’ council at their July 24 meeting.

The Federation’s Board of Directors had already approved the status change in principal early in July. Chamberlain says council members approved with the Board of Director’s decision and also passed the motion in principal.

A by-law change must be ratified at the November general meeting.

UW checking out Arctic al.gae

by Louhe Gondveu Imprint mff In order to develop a better understanding of the Canadian Arctic and the various life forms which-flourish in and just under the ice, UW biolo ist Dr. Ralph Smith is current f y conducting research in the Arctic, just north of Baffin Island. In this environment, Smith hope8 to learn more about the different species of algae and other microorganisms which collectively form brown stains on the bottom side of ice sometimes a8 thick as ten centimeters. .1 “Thi8 phenomenon, ‘stained ice’ is common not only all over the Arctic, but in the Antarctic as well,” Smith says. “It’s not a recent phenomenon; people who have visited the Arctic have known about it for scores of years.”

To finance his efforts;Smith is being funded by a $75,000 grant from the Donnor Canadian FounBiologist Ralph Smith examines

dation in Toronto. The late William H. Donner established the foundation in 1950. It provides funding for research in four areas: international affairs; law reform and corrections in Canada; oceans and inland waters: and the Canadian north.

In addition, Smith is also receiving research support from the Canadian government’s Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council and the Polar Continental Shelf project of the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources. Smith is cooperating closely with scientia ts from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in this work.

To conduct his studies, Smith is using sophisticated new instruments such as the ISUS (in situ under ice sampler), which retrieves samples of the underside of ice for analysis. ISUS is also ‘equipped with an under-ice camera so scientists can inspect the environment from the top of the ice.

A special pump is also being used which retrieves water from under the ice and indicates the amount and growth of algae in -the water. Water and ice samples are then sent to Smith’s Waterloo lab for further study.

In addition to the basic scientific interest, Smith suggesta this study also has otential environmental aigni Picance and political implications. With reards to the environment, he f eels it is just a matter of time until known petroleum resources in the Arctic will be exploited, “One wonders,” Smith explains, “Can this be done -without disturbing the growth of the algae or introducing dontaminants into the food web?”

As for the political implications, if the question of Canada’s sovereignty in the Arctic were ever challenged, “the fact that we have been there, studying and attempting to manage wisely the resources in the Arctic, would count heavily in our favour.”

At least twelve poat-secondary educational institutions in Ontario are scheduled to receive $51.4 million over the next 25 years to subsidize at leaet 5,000 new residence beds. UW Warden of Residence8 Dr. Ron Eydt says almost every institution which applied before the May deadline received some grant monies.

Although 5000 s aces have received approval Prom Queen’s Park, more thhGi ~OOO spaces were requested before the government’s deadline, according to the Ontario Federation of Students.

The University of Waterloo did not a ply for the bed grants.

Eydt exp Pained the only demand at UW is a “four month demand.”

UW’a Villages experience a 20 per cent vacancy rate in the winter term and a substantial vacancy rate in the summer. The fall term is the only time when UW, residence accommodation is booked completely.

UW’s housing warden pointed out that unless the university enforced some sort of rule which required first year students to live in university residences,

OFS Chairperson Shelley Potter says “In Toronto alone, institutions are in need of more than 5000 spaces, and across the province universities are facing se-

rious housing shortages.”

OFS also questioned whether the grants made available to the petitioning achoola will be high enough to meet th& actual costs of construction. Students will bear the weight of the construction costs through high rents, Potter said. The press release went on to urge the government to study the Ontario student housing situation and end discriminatory anti-student exclusionary by-laws, the latest of which are being drafted. in the Hamilton area.

Even if a subsidy does not come through this year, $120 three month passes will be available in the fall, which is an improvement from the previous minimum pass of four months.

COMMENT

.

Editorial

Faculty bated For close to two decades now, current UW President Doug Wright has had a hand in the shaping and formation of post-secondary education in the province of Ontario.

In some capacity or another Dr. Wright has advised premieres as well as the Prime Minister’s Office on matters concerning university education. His resume lists the reasons why: UW Dean of Engineering, Queen’s Park civil servant, and president of the University of Waterloo - in that order. ’ He has brought to this campus a relationship with private enterprise which is unparalleled on any other campus in the country. When funding arrangements with Ontario universities were choked, Wright not only saw fit to woo the private sector’s money, but he was naturally given a mandate by this institution’s board of governors to maintain a world class university despite the poor funding climate which still looms over schools in the province today.

Now, Wright’s style of running UW has come to clash with previously soft-spoken members of Waterloo’s university community: namely our academics.

Faculty members numbering as high as thirty are on record as opposed to being termed or thought of as exclusive agents for private enterprise.

It is peculiar the faculty took so many years to catch on to Dr. Wright’s style of university politics. The “Wright phenomena” did not occur overnight. Dr. Wright has never pretended to adhere to any other strategy in running this institution than via the corporate way.

If UW’s current direction and leadership are unsatisfactory, academics at this institution, especially the tenured ones, can only be considered selfish if they do not publicly investigate and encourage professional discussion on this matter. If after a detailed exchange of information, the Wright way is indeed considered the right way, then the UW faculty will I have done its duty.

The only time academics seem to be heard from these days is when a journalist calls up some professor from York or U of T for a quick comment regarding a headlining story.

It is encouraging to see academics make the first step forward in protesting against an issue which has obvious social ramifications. University students us’ually are under the impression that most academics are supposed to be public defender-type professionals. Consequently, this recent public display of opposition by UW professors hopefully signals an end to seemingly indifferent academics on this campus.

Welcome back!

This is not Wright I

Doug Wright has spawned a vigorous debate on camnus with his comments in an Ontario government publication, Challenges, about UW having “the highest number of millionaires strolling the corridors of any university in Canada.”

Further he stated, “At UW, to a degree, it’s how many businesses you own or are tied to” that determines how successful you are as a professor.

Once faculty members began protesting Wright’s position in the Gazette, he rapidly began to make calculated statements claiming he “has longbeen sensitive to the concern that research and scholarship on this and every other campus in Canada should be pursued for intellectual, rather than monetary gain and that this principle is built into the procedures followed across the campus in determining faculty promotions or merit pay increases.‘+ Then last week, Vice-President (University Development) Jon Dellandrea carelessly opened his mouth to a zealous reporter from the K-W Record.

Maybe he was trying to calm some of the campus tensions surrounding the “Wright Affair,” but he only managed to exacer-

bated the dissension.

In regard to the “campus revolt ,” Dellandrea suggested some professors are jealous and angry over what they see as preferential treatment to entrepreneurial faculty members when promotions are made. He went so far as to suggest that even Albert Einstein, if he was alive today, would npt receive an industrial chair position at UW because he concentrated too extensively on pure research.

Prof. M. Vidyasagar of the UW Electrical Engineering Department said it succinctly in the July 27 issue of the Gazette, “Dellandrea seems to think that it is just fine and dandy that great scholars are not welcome at UW unless they work in glamorous (applied) areas.

One should think that he would be embarrassed to make such an admission.”

The recent treatment of a sociology professor here at UW is indicative of the rhetoric espoused by both Dellandrea and Wright.

Professor Swan McD&niel, who many students believe to be one of the very best professors at UW, has been offered a full professorship at the University of Alberta, Edmonton.

She does not want to leave Waterloo but the

UW administration has basically told her to go ahead and leave because she will not be receiving an equivalent offer here, Dr. McDaniel has won the Distinguished Teacher Award, is well published, has students lining up to study at the graduate level under her direction, has won international recognition for her academic work, but of primary importance, students who have completed her courses rate her dedication to her students, as individuals, the best in the qvhole university.

HOW then can the administration of this institution willingly allow a professor of this calibre to simply walk away? Could it be that she is an outspoken woman who does not hesitate to voice her concerns?

Is it because she is a female in a male-dominated institution?

Is it the academic research she concentrates on does not generate patents?

I think that Doug Wright’s answer would go something like this: “Well, I think the bottom lins is that Professor McDaniel still hasn’t been able to tie enough businesses into her research here at UW, so we just have to- give someone else a chance.”

opportunities a&unlimited if the right combin#ion of intellect and funding can be located.

In this vein he has guided this school on a road which has edged closer and closer, toward a marriage with government and corporations.

But the Challenges article seems to have been the straw which broke the camel’s back.

Dr. Wright has never hid,den his goals and views of the future for LJW but neither has he been as

frank as he was in this particular interview.

Whether &tempting damage control or not, UW Vice-President (Alumni Affairs) Jon Dellandrea added fuel to the already existing flames last week when he told the K-W Record that industrial research chair positions tend to go to professors with marketable ideas and not necessarily those with the best brains because of political realities involved.

He went on to state, “I don’t

think old Albert (Einstein) would have got an industry chair (at UW). Probably not.”

Faculty. members are now questioning the ability of the administration to guide the university in the wake of this controversy.

The local media has gone so far as to call the situation a “revolt .”

Few faculty go so far as to call that label correct but one professor said in reference to Dellandrea’s comments, “He’s a drip, he should know better than to make comments like that, His comments reflect on all of us.”

Suggesting that open discussion of the issue is of ultimate importance to UW’s future, Dr. James Walker of the History department said, “I am delighted ’ by the whole thing! We need to be talking about it.”

Imprint editorial underrates CFS? To the editor, I am writing in response to an editorial entitled “CFS Referendum would fail” which appeared in the July l&l988 edition of the.

Imprint. The piece contained a number of inaccurate views about the functioning of the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS).

First of all, to say that CFS is a “private elitist oligarchy” is a gross misnomer. CFS is perhaps more democratic than the Canadian political system. Membership in CFS is determined by a referendum on each campus.

Elected representatives from each member institution attend the conference and discuss in committee, then vote in closing sessions on the structure, policy, campaign, lobby and issues of the organization.

Secondly, the statement that “CFS executive make no attempt to completely reach out to even a majority of Canadian institutions” is a misconception. Only the chairperson is a full-time paid position, the other members of the executive are students. Invitations to visit campuses are extended to the chairperson from the current student administration. Each institution’s autonomy is respected and will not be interfered with bv CFS.

Final exams are almost upon us. There is no doubt much of our time these days is 6pent either’ studying or trying hard to socialize in the few hours of free time we allow ourselves. Perhaps what we notice most of all about this time of year is the incredible fatigue, listlessness and lethargy we feel after an entire semester of hard work and meeting deadlines nears completion.

Caffeine pills, or “wake-up” pills are a common method students use to stay awake during the exam period, simply because of the many hours of studying most courses demand, The pills are easy to obtain+ and their widespread use would tend to imply they are an acceptable means of attaining additional cramming hours, Questions have arisen as to the health effects of caffeine pills. Caffeine is a behavioural stimulant which activates the body systems by the reduction of adrenaline, and has long been Enown to be the stimulating effect in our morning coffee. It postpones fatigue and enhances endurance, which is why caffeine pills are popular at exam time.

Caffeine is also found in tea, chocolate and some soft drinks.

Body reactions to this drug are unpredictable in different people; it can depend on a person’s natural tolerance and on their previous consumption of caffeine. Speeding up of the heart (palpitations] can occur, and increased acid production in the gastrointestinal (digestive] system is common. Persons with bleeding disorders of the bowel or with a propensity for ulcers should be discouraged from using caffeine pills. Also, the methylxanthenes in caffeine have been shown to cause an increased lumpiness in the breasts of women who have a tendency toward cyst formation in their breasts. These women are strongly advised by their doctors to avoid coffee, chocolate, and other caffeine subcaffeine pills are often taken in numbers and for extended periods of time, there is a great potential for addiction.

With increased use, the user may become dependent upon their effects.

Withdrawal is characterized by severe headaches, nausea, irritability, tiredness and the “shakes” in some people.

Caffeine may also have a diuretic effect [an increase in the frequeney of urination) if taken in high doses. Large doses have also shown to produce headaches+ nervousness and even delirium, and near-fatal doses have produced and in-. creased blood sugar level and ketonurea (abnorma1 appearance of metabolic intermediates in the urine].

No long-term effects of a toxic nature are seen if caffeine intake is below about 600 mg er day which is equivalent to about eight cups oPcoffee; however, regular use of greater than 350 mg per day induces 8 form of physical dependence and withdrawal will be evident in the absence of caffeine.

A fatal oral dose is approximately ten grams.

If wake-up pills are going to be taken, they are best taken after consuming a meal, since the user can become nauseated if they are taken on an empty stomach. Their use should also be carefully monitored.

Remember that the body is designed to have a certain number of awake hours followed by relaxed, restful hours so that it can maintain its proper functioning. Interference with this system with drugs such as caffeine pills may be harmful in the long run due to overall exhaustion or addiction.

Use them wisely.

. Stein Valley

by Scott Siocombe Covering 109,000 hectares of river, stream, forest and mountain, the Stein Valley is the largest remaining undeveloped watershed in southwestern British Columbia. It is a rich habitat and last refuge in southern B.C. for wildlife, including cougars, coyotes, mountain goats, and grizzly bears.

The lower part of the watershed is very important to the traditional culture of the Lytton and Mt. Currie Indian’bands. It contains man archaeological sites and several pictographs. The alpine an z subalpine areas as well as the Stein Canyon itself provide excellent recreational opportunities. And the timber resources of the middle Stein Valley are significant at a regional scale.

The area first gained political attention in 1975 when a provincial government study called for management of the area’s resources, Between 1976 and 1884, the Stein Advisory Committee examined environmental and economic issues in the Valley. In February, 1885 the Ministry of Forests confirmed a 1976 cabinet decision in favour of “integrated resource management” with forestry as the major target. This was the catalyst for public support directed toward the area. The Stein Valley was one of 24 wilderness areas referred by the B.C. government to its special Wilderness Advisory Committee in the Fall of 1886. In its March 1987 report, the Committee recommended an access road through the Stein River Canyon not be built without a formal agreement between the B,C. government and the Lytton Indian band, On September 30, 1987 the B.C. government announced road building would begin as soon as possible, claiming the Lytton Band had broken off talks. In fact, no effort to even begin talks had been made. Today talks between Minister of Forests David Parker and the Chief of ihe Lytton Band, Ruby Dunstan, have begun. Although their differences seem irreconcilable, both sides want to keep the talks going. In early April Parker stated if the Stein were not logged, part of the Spruce Lake wilderness area might be targeted.

Access and logging in the area will inevitably lead to degradation of its wilderness values, and preclude development of recreation and tourism opportunities which might benefit more local people ih the long term than logging. This was found to be true in South Moresby, Access would also, as it has elsewhere in B.C., lead to damage of native art in the Valley. Logging would also be disastrous for the Stein Rediscovery youth program which draws on native elders, tradition81 knowledge and wilderness experience to work with native and non-native youths.

The third Annual Stein Festival last August drew more than 2000 participants including Charles Caccia, David Suzuki, John Denver and Connie Kaldor. There is widespread public support for preservation of the area. Logging would make only a shortterm contribution to keeping the area’s sawmills open: their an-’ nual demand for timber is twice the Stein’sbannual allowable cut.

Only 5.4 per cent of B.C.‘8 landmass is in arks and ecological reserves. This compares to 9.1 per cent in Al 1 erta, 11.3 per cent in Washington state, and 17.1 per cent in New Zealand - home to the corporate owners of B.C. Forest Products. More constructive solutions to the. problems of ‘the B.C. forest industry would include stopping the export of I unmilled logs. Improved reforestation funding and standards would help ease the conflict as would more stringent requirements for using timber on logged lands. Also important is support for initiatives that would modernize the lumber as well as pulp and paper industries to make them internationally competitive.

The Stein Valley should be the next South Moresby. It may be less s ectacular - no Nation81 Geographic articles here - but it is of equal Py profound ecological, culturel, and recreational importance. *I,...*~....,.~**.~.*..,...*~....a~~*~*~+~~~~*~~~~‘~*~~~+*~’* The’ WPIRG recycling Workgroup is having an end-of-term he Paper Recycling Drive.

Drinking, byMikeSoro and Karen Gregory Bob Dylan sings “the times they are a-changin”’ and indeed they are. Gone are the days of going to the local pub and drinking until you fall on the floor and are swept out the door at -closing time. Drinking and driving has become as taboo as bell-bottoms whi15 multi-tropical-fruit-flavoured coolers now fill the bar glasses that were once occupied by a double scotch on-the-rocks.

As society’s attitudes toward alcohol change, university students’ expectations about acceptable alcohol-related behavior will have to change too. Andft is to the benefit of the university communities as a whole that these changes come from within.

Universities across Ontario are presently putting together a program entitled Alcohol Policies and Practices On Campus.

The goal of the program 0 is to change campus drinking policies and practices to lead to a decrease in the deaths and injuries associated with alcohol use among students.

According to University of Western Ontario Faculty of Lath Professor Robert Solomon, who is serving as a consultant to the project, the sudden need to set up an alcohol policies and practices program “stems from the sharp rise in civil liability suits brought against providers of alcohol and . .. occupiers of premises hosting alcohol related events .”

Outstanding

law suits

Presently there are five civil suits outstanding against Ontario universities involving deaths or injuries that have arisen from alcohol-related incidents oli campus.

The most publicized of these incidents was one that occurred in Ottawa during the Panda Game in the Fall of 1987, In the incident, thousands of intoxicated fans were allowed to enter Landsdown Stadium to watch the annual homecoming game between Carleton University and the University of Ottawa. During half-time, the crowd surged forwad causing hundreds of people to push against a guard rail.

The pressure c&used the rail to break sending 40 students over the edge and down ten feet to the cement below.

Some of the students suffered extensive injuries.

“As a result, a number of suits are being brought against the city because it owns the stadium, as well as the two universities because they were controlling access and providing security,” So?omon said. “The universities are being sued in their capacity as an occupier on the basis that they had not taken steps to ensure that the premises were reasonably safe,” Solomon said.

problem.

In 1986, upon leating the Bombshelter, a youth was killed on his motorcycle while under the influence of alcohol served to him at the university’s Bombshelter pub. The inquest which followed layed most of the responsibility for the accident on the victim, Recommendations were made regarding the involvement of the student pub; however, the parents, in this case, decided not to pursue litigation against the university in light of the inquest’s findings.

In the past two years, two other alcohol-related injuries have been reported to campus security.

But as Solomon states, either the universities set up alcohol policies and practice “on some province-tide reasonable basis now, or you do it after the next tragedy.”

Youth killed

in accident

Solomon stresses the aim of the project is to have the university administration and students work together. “This is not a them-us problem. The interests of the students and of the administration are identical.“’ The importance of the administration and students working collectively to overcome alcohol problems on campus is beneficial to both. Solomon does not see the decision of some universities in the U.S. to discontinue the sale of alcohol on campus as becoming “a reality” in Canada.

He does, however, see the universities being forced by increased law enforcement, and by the threat of civil suits, and by the problems related to insurance, to change university alcohol policies and practices.

Drunken misconduct in society and on university campuSes is not new, and alcohol-Felated behavior is no worse today then it was zs years ago.

But, because of the efforts of groups like Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Parents to Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere, and Students Against Drunk Driving, the attitudes of society toward alcohol use have changed.

Aside from the work of these grou s, Solomon says there are a num E er of other factors which explain why we are beginning to see a rise in the civil suits filed against alcohol suppliers and promoters of alcohol related events.

The most important of these factors has been a fundamental change in the law of torts. “Twenty-five years ago the statement “you are not your brother’s keeper” was generally accepted by the courts. Though the courts continue to pay lip service to this principle,‘ they have increasingly recognized the number of situations in which one person will be held liable for failing to control the conduct of another,” Solomon said.

A landmark precedent concerning this tort was in the case Jordan House Hotel versus Menow and Honsberger (1973). Menow had previously been - -

by Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell, Linus Pauling, and eight other prominent scientists.

The manifesto originated out of contern for the future survival of the human race. The agreement was announced

by Russell at a press conference and caused a great stir worldwide.

Canadian industrialist Cyrus Eaton offered to sponsor a conference for scientists if it were held in his

banned from the Hotel because of his tendency to become intoxicated, irresponsible and annoying.

Once the ban was lifted, the staff was instructed not to serve Menow unless he was accompanied by a responsible adult.

On the night of the accident, Menow entered the bar with friends, but drank alone and became visibly intoxicated.

When he bothered other patrons the staff ejected him. While staggering along the highway, Menow was hit by a negligent driver.

Menow sued both the driver and the Hotel and won.

Another factor that Solomon feels has increased the number of suits brought against providers of alcohol is the sharp increase in the size of the damages awarded in tort law. “Starting in the late ‘70’s there were fundamental changes in the law governing the assessment of damages.

This has resulted in a dramatic [increase] in damages.”

Because most insurance policies do not carry enough liability

Under the Criminal Code they learn it is illegal to allow an intoxicated person to enter a licensed establishment, as well as serve a person who is past the point of intoxication.

It is also against the law to serve alcohol to an individual who is under the age of 19. Violation of these laws could lead to fines or result in the revoking of the liquor license.

The iast restriction poses a unique concern for the staff at Fed Hall. All undergraduate students pay the $7.50 mortgaie fee for Fed Hall when tuition is paid. The payment allows access to all undergraduates who do not claim a refund of the fee; this includes minors.

Minors are required to wear a “blue button” and are prohibited from consuming alcoholic beverages.

Chuck McMullan, manager of Fed Hall, says “the pin crusade works well”: however, there are some students who abuse the system.

Because the university has what ii called a “blanket license,” [one liquor

Fed Hall, the Bombshelter and POETS could all lose their licence to cover damages completely, injured parties have had to look to third parties such as providers of alcohol to collect the remainder of their damages.

The Alcohol Policies and Practices On Campus program was set up to help both university administrators and students deal with these changes in tortlaw and in the changes in society’s attitudes toward alcohol misuse.

One of the initiatives of the pro+ gram involves the on the job training of all personnel working in on-campus licensed establishments.

Staff at both the Bombshelter and Federation Hall undergo this training program at the beginning of each term. Starting this Fall, Village Dons will also take part in the sessions.

The program makes the staff aware of the pubs’ responsibilities under the Occupiers Liability .

Nova Scotia. Two years later, twenty-two figures froin both East and West assembled to discuss the manifesto and the responsibilities and roles of the scientist in the arms race. In the last 30 years, Pugwash has broadened its mandate to include all sources of international conflict as well as the social responsibilities of scientists everywhere.

The main concern of Pugwash is still the avoidance of war and conflict nuclear .war in particular, and the survival and betterment of the human race. Conferences are held annually and are attended by both professionals and students.

UW Prof. heads applied ethics research

by Ron L. West Imprint staff UW Philosophy Professor Dr. Michael McDonald will head a research team which will tackle the important task of attempting f,o identify a-Canadian strategy I tor applied ethic8 research, Applied eihica deals with the ap$ication of ethical rules to daily human conduct.

“A narrowminded technocratic view [of our Canadian society) %is not enough . . . moral and ethical issues have been largely and unfortunately neglected,” contended McDonald.

McDonald is the principal investigator in the three-per8on team which will also include Dr. Marie-Helene Parizeau of L.aval University and Daryl Pullman, a UW philosophy research assistant. The team is working for the Canadian Federation for the Humanities/Federation under a . special grant of $!$O~ from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

“It’s an important grant, the first of its kind in Canada directed at simply identifying the areas of research that need to be addressed immediately,‘+ McDonald said. However, McDonald expressed regret that “the beat researcher8 [in Canada] who can do the best research are not funded adequately while ethical issue8 are usually settled by people with ideological, economical, or political interests,” The team will investigate three main areas of applied et hits: biomedical, business, and environmental ethics. The ethics project is part of a strategic effort by-the council to fund studie8 into key areas of national policy, including problems such a8 management of technology, environmental destruction, families in social and economic upheaval, logistics for Canadian industry, and ethics.

McDonald observed “that the one-time experimental program will show how the humanists and social scientists of this country have as important a role to play as scientists, doctors and engineers in finding solutions to major national problems.”

The team will produce a report which will describe current research and who’s doing it in the three areas of ethical study.

It will identify primary needs and main objectives for applied ethics research for the next five years, and the report will also serve to develop a five-year workplan to be implemented if additional resources become available. ’

“The long-tern! goal is to raise general awareness of applied ethics research inside and outside the academic community,” McDonald said. He also claims “(ethics) research has an audience and we need to address the audience .”

McDonald believes ethics are

sociologically determined to a certain degree. For example, biomedical ethics are significantly different from nation to nation.

“What are salient moral issues in the United States -financing of medical servicesare not issues in Canada.”

Canada is ethically distinct from America because

of Canadians’ vision of themselves, McDonald said.

In Canada, McDonald believes “we picture ourselves as a society, as a whole; we determine ethics foundationally.”

McDonald hopes to 8ee ethical research permeate society through conversational intera&

tion between individual8 in the academic and non-academic community.

“We’d like to see us raise the profile of ethics research to the level of conversation,” said McDonald.

“Ethics and morality need to become a shared experience . . , ethics are not private but public.”

ware” to teach better writing, the results were a little disconcerting. -North and others held a bias that computers were’ not the answer to tracking good writing, since “trying to teach students to write using existing computer software packages is much like trying to learn to play the piano by reading a book about it,” North stated.

It is important to know good grammar, he agrees, but good writing “has to do with the heart and soul of both writer and reader.”

Some positive results have evolved from the lab, though.

Students who use the computer for their writing improve more rapidly than those who do not.

The students aay it is “so easy to correct mistakes, move sentences and whole peragraphs around, that writing becomes much niore enjoyable, so they do more of it.” There is more time available and less effort needed to edit and re-edit on the computer screen.

Anonymity is another advantage of Workbench.

Students do not find it as humiliating when errors appear on a computer screen as when teachers discuss errors with them. Also, each student can learn at his or her own pace.

North believes through reading great writers, rather than through memorizing grammar rules, students’ Writing will improve. Even though reluctant to read the heavier material at first, students later began to enjoy the deeper issue8 and more difficult writing: North is working on some interactive programs which will allow students to assess such things as paragraph position and good titles for essays.

North’s computer lab is located in Hagey Hall, room 384 and will be open in the fall to all arts students+

Not about Heroes ldemyt.hologizes war

How does one speak of war and courage except through personal experience?

Not About He-

roes confronts war, its totally destructive nature, and its false conception8 of courage in an examination of the lives and friendship between two of Britian’s most famous World War I poets - Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen.

Sassoon, played

by Nicolas

Pennell, is already an accomplished poet when he meets Owen (Henry Czerny) at the Craiglockhart War Hospital in Edinburgh, Scotland in July 1917. Owen, an aspiring poet, has been hospitalized for shellshock incurred at the battle front in France.

Sassoon has been interned and pub-

lically declared insane in order to undermine his outspoken war protests.

Their friendship begins when Owen approaches Sassoon to autograph copies of his latest book of poetry in the hospital ward. Their friendship grows rapidly within the confines of the saqatorium and shortly Sassoon is assisting Owen with the development of his poetry, With encouragement from Sassoon,.

Owen begins to receive outside attention and publish his poetry.

Czerny, in his second season at Stratford, is very effective in portraying the transformation of Owen from the eager yet insecure youth who first seeks out Sassoon for autographs, into the confident but questioning published poet who returns to the front in search of answers to his driving questions.

Despite the fact that the Avon stage had only one set and two characters, the play is surprisingly well-paced.

Humour is interspersed regularly so the long narratives never have an opportunity to drag the story down.

But as can be expected in a play about poets, there is plenty of poetry utilized in the script. For one not familiar with Owen and Sassoon’s work, this aspect could become a bit cumbersome as the poetry is recited very rapidly.

The joint venture launches Wilfred Owen to the pinnacle of his career as a poet; a level even Sassoon would never equal.

Having realized his ability, Owen still questioned his authority to write on the subject of war. “War is my subject and all I can write about is the pity of war,” said Owen before he returned to the front in France. He wished to discover for himself about courage and what the face of death resembled.

Soul Asylum sdweats up Siborley

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff Walking into Siboney’s in Kensington market is like stepping into another era. Okay, so the haircuts and the serious fashion statement attitudes are the same as any trendy Toronto nightspot, but at least Siboney’s has a distinctive atmosphere about it - a dimly lit, cavernous hole in the wall with the ambience of a pre-60’s beatnik joint, missing only speed,-pumped jazzmen blowing their lungs out.

Or at least that’s what it seemed like until Jellyfishbabies ambled onstage last Friday, taking care of the preliminaries for Soul Asylum.

If preening ponces like Haywire are your idea of Maritime rock, Jellyfishbabies ;1,’ hit you like a Bay of Fundy l

Recently transplanted to Toronto from their native Halifax, theirs is a raging storm of distorted guitars and terse vocals that still manages to leave a tune to hang your ear on after you’ve tired of slamming your head around.

Unfortunately, their half-hour or so didn’tafford time for some of the lighter, poppier (God forbid) highlights from their debut album, but the still trickling-in crowd could hardly have beenmore pleased.

For their part, Change of Heart, in the second slot, provided further justification for hacks in everything from News

to Graffiti to your Imprint proclaiming

ever-humble them as one of Toronto’s premiere bands.

And they just keep getting harder, rawer, and more power.ful. Ian Blurton, the man with the worst haircut in show business next to David Letterman, still sounds like he’s swallowed a sandbo-x, but as the band matures, so does his vocal savvy, harnessing his graininess to unleash scabrous howla- once the intensity rises.

And that’s the word to describe their performance - intense, Mars Is Rising from their debut, 50 Ft. Up, and Stress Monkey from last year’s excellent Slowdance were given dense and heavy treatment and new tracks like Winter’s Over, hopefully from a soon to be released platter, were quite frankly amazing perfectly crafted rock, fiercely delivered.

If someone had the sense to sign Change of Heart to a wide-ranging contract, you’d start hearing them referred to in the same reverential tones as Meat Puppets, Squirrelbait, and a dozen other American bands that get more press. They’re that good.

Any fears that Soul Asylum had aouled out as a result of their high-rolling deal with A&M were quickly dispelled.

They looked like a quartet of drowned rats, long, stringy hair hanging down their grubby necks over the kind of torn T-shirts your

mom freaks out over when you wear them home. And this was before they even played a note and got sweaty, by which time Siboney’s was seething with all manner of humanity.

So much for that “rock stars arriving in stretch limos” image, Things were no less gritty onstage when they started churning out their melodic thrash spiced with folky and countryish riffs.

MO mindless, formulaic hardcore here; Never Really Been proved their ability - their finesse even - with tuneful, lyrical sensitivity while Made To Be Broken is a Johnny Cash-like hoedown that zooms down the passing lane with its gears clogged with dirt.

The material from their latest, Hang Time, with the exception of the knee-slapping Twiddly Dee, may be slicker on vinyl, but they still kicked out the jams when they got the lights shining in their eyes. Great tracks like To Return and Beg” Sometime had Dave ’ gars and Choosers Pirner and Dan Murphy bucking up to the microphones as if engaged in a barroom brawl and flailing on their guitars like they had personal grievances with them.

This unfortunate development threw American strategists into confusion resulting in sometimes contradictory responses.

My favourite: advocating increased Sino-Japanese trade while simultaneously bombing Chinese ports just to prevent the Chinese from getting any ideas.

Schabr has Americans operating in political vacuum Unfortunately for the effectiveness of his argument, Schaller has the Americans operating in some sort of weird political vacuum.

Everything said or do*ne.is said or done by Americans. The Soviets are behind every adverse event In the region. This cold warrior outlook has long been discredited (except perhaps

by Lubor J. Zink) by many historians, Indigenous insurgencies (Viet Nam) are perceived only through contemporary American eyes.

Schaller fails to provide the alternative argument, that these insurgenties are truly independent uprisings against colonial powers.

Schaller also fails to take into account the Asian psyche. What is a truism in the West is often invalid in the Orient.

Ellen J, Hammer’s A Death In November doesn’t suffer from this failure.

In fact she revels in it, which makes for far more entertaining reading.

Her book deals with American attempts to foster an independent Viet Nam, capable of withstandiiig Communist subversion from the North.

Of course, an American definition of an independent Viet Nam is one that has a leader that will .follow American @‘advice”.

After a long and hard talent search, Ngo Dinh Diem was selected (vote?

The effects of imposing the will of one government upon another Hammer proves most convincingly the effects of imposing the will of one government upon another rarely results in the anticipated.

It seems these lessons have not been learned, as Duarte or Noriega attest to (actually they probably wouldn’t but we know anyway).

Of the, two, Hammer’s book is by far the superior despite a sometimes awkward choice of language and the disconcerting habit of beginning each chapter-as if the book were a cheap* dime store detective thriller; The city of Hue still festered like an open sore (p. 1371.

Bruce Willis plays tough New York cop John McClane who visits his estranged wife, Holly, in L-A, for Christmas.

All their plans go awry when a group of German terrorists take over the office building where his wife is attending a company Christmas party.

Caught in the sealed-off skyscraper with the hostages yet undetected by the terrorists, M&lane becomes the”lr only ‘hope of survival.

With his New York street smarts and a lot of luck, McClane takes on the twelve terrorists and one-by-one he works his way up to the leader, Hans Gruber.

While Die Hud follows the 3980s shoot’em up genre and is a tad predictable, the film is in some ways refreshing.

Bruce Willis leaves his childish Moonlighting bantering behind and gives a realistic and reasonably believable performance.

Willis’ frantic and bewildered acting st le gives a great deal of credib&y to his character.

The fact that Willis does his own stunts for this film also lends to his character’s portrayal.

In his first film role, Alan Rickman makes a memorable debut as the cool and cunning terrorist leader Hans Gruber.

A disillusioned international ter-

rorist, Gruber has forgone any political motives and is after the more than six hundred million in negotiable bearer bonds from the multinational Nakatomi Corporation, where McClane’s wife Holly is an executive.

Midn~ightsRun ,entertains without gore

by John zachariah Imprint itaff

/

The place opened during a summer that has been good to the new Cineplex moviegoers, Odeon cinemas on Fairway Road in Kitchener are presently delivering a devastaing one-two punch which makes all else pale by comparison.

First of all, there’s Die Z-fard (reviewed by Andrew Rehage in this issue], which is this summer’s Aliens.

Also playing is Midnight Run, a

more subdued, but no less entertaining effort.

Jonathan Mardukas (Charles Grodin) has just embezzled about 15 million dollars from mobster Jimmy Serrano (Dennis Farina) and given it away to charity.

Arrested for his act, he jumps bail, whereupon bounty hunter Jack Walsh (Robert DeNiro) is set uponhis trail.

Walsh has to avoid the FBI and the mob, who both want Mardukas but for different reasons.

Picking up Mardukas in New York, Walsh must haul his hot

cafiasa across the country to Los Angeles in five days, or he gets no money.

While there’s not much terrible violence or bloodletting in Midnight Run, the movie still delivers lots of thrills, and a good dose of humour as well.

Grodin’s Mardukas is a constant nag, always cautioning Walsh about things like leaving the proper tip for waiters, smoking, etc, Yet Mardukas is not * a fool, or a whimp.

He only embezzled the money from his boss after find-

ing out the true nature of the latter’s business; he was trying to do the right thing, and considering the possible consequences of his actions, he emerges as a pretty courageous guy.

Walsh has his own demons to wrestle with. .A former policeman, he was driven from the force by refusing to go on Serrano’s payroll, like all his coworkers did. For Walsh, the job has turned into a mission of sorts, an effort to prove for him-self that he can overcome over-

Dead Pool is disarmointincr --

Feelings of deja-vu surface to *one’s miqd as the first reel of Clint Eastwood’s latest Dirty Harry entry Dead Pool begins to roll. Images of bright city lights surrounded by a sexy jazz score evoke Dirty Harry nostalgia.

We first meet Harry Callahan cruising in a generii GM across the Golden Gate bridge. Where is he going? What is he up to?

Most importantly, who is Dirty Harry going to blow away?

What evil lurks in the heart of San Francisco?

Only Harry really knows.

Only Harry really ceres.

The Dared Pool is Clint East wood’s fifth time as San Francisco police officer Harry Callahan and certainly the most disappointing.

Eastwood appears to walk through the role seemingly thinking about the next project he will be.working on. It is painfully obvious Eastwood is severely bored with this role. However, an argument can be made that Eastwood looks severely bored in all of his roles.

One could hypothesize the farther Dirty Harry’s hairline recedes the closer he comes to becoming a dinosaur of the macho ’

ageL During his early Dirty Harry movies one could vicariously enjoy his wise-ass, pissed-off “go ahead make my day” attitude and his ruthless, yet justifiable carnage.

But in today’s post-feminist era, Callahan’s antics seem senseless and vapid. It is safe to assume that we are as tired of this prehistoric caricature as Clint Eastwood is. d bmd Pool borderlines orfselfparody.

Things are really getting heady over at 4AD headquartets where -The Cocteau Twin8 and Dead Can Dance have been bumped off the top rung by Pixies and Throwing Muses who, for all the 8uccess of the Pixies’ dom.estic releases, have unfortunately been relegated to the.import bins on these shores.

This without sacrificing the brilliance of their songcraft, the chilling candidness and insightfulness of Hersh’s lyrics that speak to the

Just what records of Bulgarian ,folk music are doing on the UK charts may be a mystery in itself, but 4AD’s Le Myatsra Des Voix Bulgaree Vols. I h II have made believers of the press, radio, and captured the imagination of the European public.

With only minimal instrumental accompaniment, this is an undeniable testament to the startling clarity and power of the legendary Bulgarian female voice. Under the guidance of Krasimir Kyurkchiyski and the recently deceased Philip Koutev, the craftsmanship [the “mystery” of Bulgarian folk refers to the medieval mysterium, or guild, of singing) of the female Lvoice has been raised to an art and to the consciousness of musos worldwide, Koutev and Kyurkchiyski have written scores of operas, symphonies, and folk ballads as the medium for the Bulgarian voice, and the songs appearing on La Mystsie &re primarily of their compos’ition. .

And paganism seems to be the o erative element in creating a !J and as fresh, distinctive, and positively exciting as The Sugarcubes. As far as I know, the band is the first Icelandic po group to garner a Canadian re Pease and certainly the first Icelanders to become ,a sensation in Europe where they have crested the independent charts for months and even made a sizable dent in the pop charts.

The difference is their little sprite of a singer, the charmingly named Bjork who possesses a voice of such untamed, raw power you’d swear she was a prodigiously gifted child who just discovered for the first time that she can sing and wants everyone to know it. If Birthday would get any airplay, everyone would find out. ,Possibly the best pop single of the past year or so, Birthday has the same effect as something like How Soon Is Now a stunning, strange

Well, Art Bergmann doesn’t allude to social problems’ he steps up to the mike and spells them out in full. As a result’ most of his songs probably won’t get air time on major market stations.

This Canadian performer will likely get stuffed into dusty bins to be re-discovered when radio stations are finally ready to play music that deals with intimate social ills. As an added bonus for all you John Cale fans, he produced this album as well as adding some keyboard work.

Two other British singles, Coldaweat (brilliant guitar-pop) and Deus, a youthful contemplation of the implausibility of a Supreme Being, are similarly sweet delights.

Try as they might, even with a fiddler sharing top billing, they fail to tread on virgin ground.

Eric Clapton’s Crossroads is a collection of mammoth proportions. This six album, 73 song release encompasses Eric’s complete recording career. The title is taken from Robert Johnson’s song Crossroads, and illustrates the blues influence on Eric’s career.

Begining with the Yardbirds, and working u through his collaboration wit K John Mayall, to Cream, and then solo works, this compilation box set weaves through Clapton’s musically rich career, Not content to include only popular cuts, producer Bill Levenson searched for rare live cuts to compliment the well , known tracks. Particularly rare QFurther On Up The Road, [When Things o Wrong)lt Hurts Me Too, an cf Whatcha Conna Do, a collaboration with the now-deceased Peter Tosh.

This collection isnot for the undernourished university student, Although+ I highly recommend it for all Clapton fans, the price of around $45 may be too much to scrape together.

The one caveat I have about Eric is that his reputation as a guitar hero was tarnished when he sold out to a beer company.

When Jazzy Jeff is on the mike his alter-ego rears its ugly head as he finds, after eight hours of contemplation+ the perfect selfdefining phrase: “All praise me.”

Egoism isn’t new to rap, but Jeff’s humour is. Okay, so maybe their lyrics won’t make them the threatening thorn in the side of the establishment - especially when they go a little something like this: “Oh, by the way, the album is out - Go get it, We went to the studio, but then we made a video,

Be it known that being signed to the cushy life offered by a major label has not wimped out Soul Asylum one wee bit.

Granted, when you have the likes of Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith, Suzanne Vega) producing. things are bound to be a little more polished, but, the back cover shows them to be the same bunch of grunts playing pool in dingy crapper pits, so their street-credo is still intact.

Mind you, fears of the band changing their direction don’t seem so unfounded once the first two cuts are through; Soul Asylum have never made a secret of how much they dig 70’s rockers like Aerosmith, but they make it explicit on Down On Up To Me and Little Too Clean.

Thankfully, with Sometime To Return, they return to the glory of Made To Be Broken, with those Husker Du-ish, gritty hooks and hoarse tunes.

They manage to maintain this fusion of hard-nosed rage, lyri;

Yo, we didn’t

make

though,

mafbe, in the next year or so.”

Bit once they cut rapping about rapping and their “Co buy our album” intentions, and get down to mixing in some Chuck Mangione sounds in “Time to Chill,” they do, as they say, “get funky with the beat,+’ Fulfilling the Rap word quota with “Addidaa, superiority, Say ho - ho, and the double album perpetrate,” reveals some down to earth, lifehas-yet-to-get-complicated concerns, such as convincing Mom not to buy them “bell bottom Brady Bunch trousers” for the first day of school in “Parents Just Don’t Understand.”

The sound may not be too ferocious, but, hey, they’re trying not to be the Beastie Boys, and “Brand New Funk” will, as sampled James Brown shouts throughout, make you want to “Get Down.”

You’d think if someone was going to do a cover of a Joy Division song, they’d at least try to do something different, if only because it’s ptitty difficult to pull off a credible Ian Curtis impression.

But no, The Swans have done a straight-ahead cover of this gloomy classic, and the result is like drinking a whole box of Neo-Citran.

Starting with the cover picture of some long hair guy chainsawing a cop down to song titles like Eat Shit Get Away and ChuinSQW Slaughter, Dissection leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Hailing from Quebec, these five young rebels seem intent on shocking their audience.

Like a lot of recent Fringe releases, this band will probably attract a,big teen-age audience wanting to piss off their parents.

Maybe I’m out of touch, but I thought shock art (not that this is art) was dead. So are these guys serious?

Probably not, but they look mean. They play hard and fast too. Unfortunately, for speed metal this doesn’t even I come close to the power of Sacri,fice or Slayer; I think the special thanks section on the back of the album sums it up. They thank all speed metal bands from Quebec, and all the speed power nuclear death thrasher fans - we need your blood. Give me a break,

The Railway Childrens’ sound falls somewhere between The Smith’s and early REM. That’s not exactly new territory, and quite frankly there’s nothing really remarkable here but that doesn’t mean this album isn’t worth owning.

Afterall, anyone who slags Rick Astley in NME can’t be all bad.

Combining acoustic guitar with some pretty interesting lyrics, The- Railway Children cannot be easily dismissed.The image You can close me up in. your hand like u pocket knife is a ; good indication that these guys: have a keen sense of metaphor.

Gary Newbys’ vocals add a thickness to the aural texture not unlike the Michael Stipe moanings on early REM recordings.

On the song My Word, I almost expect Stipe to jump in at any time.

In The Meantime, Merciless, and A Pleasure are all wonderful pop meanderings.

So it’s not ground breaking, so what. -

If there is enough interest and support, Bennett says the Combo Club could become a place for all kinds of artists to share their talents, He envisions side performantes by dancers, poetry readings and small art exhibite.

Anyone interested in performing at the Combo Club should talk to Bennett at the Combo Club on a Thursday night.

Bennett is organizing Combo Club special events nights, the first of which is a blues cruise night (the theme is blue, and so is the music] on Thursdgy, August 4.

If you’re planning on going over to Pierre’s Steakhouse on a Monday night to catch some jazz, don’t, You won’t find anyone there, Last month, Monday Night Jazz moved to Thursday nights at Smit t y’s in West mount plaza.

It is now known as the Combo Club and has expanded to inelude other musical styles; Geoff Bennett, a local percussionist, started jazz nights last September as he felt KitchenerWaterloo needed a place for amateur jazz musicians and enthusiasts to perform and socialize in a relaxed and casual atmosphere.

“There are very few clubs in K-W where amateur mueicians can perform.”

by Peter Dedas Imprint staff Danny Sullivan is codtent with bringing home the silver from the Molson Indy. In all three of the race’s starts, Sully has been unable to win the event.

Two costly errors caused the short fall. A mistake in passing a lapped vehicle lost him the lead.

A pit exit violation resulted in the assessment of a 12 second penalty and a shot at Al-Unser Jr., the eventual winner.

Al Unser took home a paycheck of $73,180 US, while Sully, bolstered by 5 g’s for the pole received $~Z,SSO. Michael Andretti was paid $45,450 fcir his weekend’s third place work work.

Danny Sullivan in the gold Miller Penske PC-17 strung Al Unser Jr. and Emerson Fittipaldi along.

This order would not last for long as one lap later, Michael Andretti would snake past the two-time Fofmula One champion Fittipaldi.

On his return he was assessed a stop-and-go penalty for a pit exit violation.

Arie Luyendyk pulled off the course with a blown engine in lap 47.

Ludwig Heimrath Jr’s hopes for a finish were consumed when he stopped on course with no power from an apparently blown piston. “It seems that a problem in assembly is showing up in our car. Obviously something is not one hundred per cent.”

I Rowing

by Thomas Y. Wood The rowing club has continued rowing and training through July. The two crews hope by getting more practice in and more experience from racing in regattas they can win in the future.

On July 9 they attended a race at London. On July 10; they were at the Woodstock Invitational.

Conditions were less than ideal for both races.

In London the crews were made to wait for an hour and a half before the start.

The heat drained the crews, but they were still able to remain competitive in their races. The Woodstock race was run in very high winds and waves.

This combination made the light shell hard to handle but the crews were again able to race strong races.

club report’ ,

The men’s crew were even able to defeat a mixed-weight team from the host Woodstock Rowing Club.

The Waterloo crews spent the next weekend in St. Catharines.

These rows were the crews’ first look at the Canadian Championship Henley course and the sight was somewhat unnerving.

The men’s crew ‘rowed their worst race of the season on Saturday, placing a distant last. The Sunda rac6 was much better as they pu Pled a very strong race only losing to a crew from the Leander Rowing Club in the last 250 metres of the race.

The women again rowed well.

They pulled long and smooth to defeat a crew from St. Cathatines at the Central Ontario Rowing Association _championships.

The Ontario championships saw the women’s crew get their rudder ropes crossed at the start.

The crew was sent beaming across the width of the course.

By the time the flaw was corrected fhe crew was 500 metres behind the leaders.

The men’s crew rowed a very good race technically; however, they did not pull with power.

All that remains is the Canadian championships from August 3-7. The crews will be facing very tough competition from all over North America.

The crews are confident.

The women can row a strong controlled race. The men need to combine the power from the Central Ontario championships with their previous outings of technical quality. ’

Don McKee teaching on and Hoff the ice Last season the Warriors hockey team had a great regular season finishing third in their division, and boasted the best record in East-West interdivisional play. The season abruptly came to an end when the Warriors were handily defeated in the playoffs 3-0,

by Western.

The success of this team is a reflection of the players and their coach for the past three years, Don McKee. Don McKee is not just your average, everyday hockey coach.

Outside of the rink he is principal of Keatsway Public school.

With 24 years in education, coach McKee is happy with his role as hockey coach at the university level, saying “I enjoy my position as an educator, [I’m) not interested in the professional ranks.”

As an educator, McKee stresses for every player the necessity of combining their academic and athletic endeavors.

He impresses upon his players that “excellent work habits on the ice can be transferred off ice.” “ Players have to be successful academically to continue playing athletics,” McKee says.

The hockey Warriors are so much an extension of Don McKee the educator that the players recruited to the program are assessed more on their capability to adapt academically than the potential hockey player they may become. “In recruiting we stress academic role.” says the coach.

McKee believes his role as an educator is -important for the student athlete under his charge.

Players with academic weaknesses are required to attend a study course: Asked if his coaching success is in any way linked to his status as an educator, he replied “excellent coaches are educators without certification, but a university graduate would have a better McKee also believes %ommuniunderstanding of the pressure.” cation, knowledge of sports and administration” skills are significant. features of coaching at the university level.

Another factor in his success according to coach McKee is the qualities he looks for in his players.

The three A’s: “Ability, Attitude, and Appreciation of academic commitment.”

Regarding his future, McKee, is unhappy that the three year goal he set for himself was not fulfilled.

He is so disappointed that he is willing to go on record stating “Don McKee will not be happy until a banner is up at Columbia Icefield.” .

For the coming season he is looking forward to the continuing support of the administration, which he feels allows him to achieve success in the program.

There are three important goals for the coming season: “creatinb a positive perception, eating respect, and getting recognition.”

But the goal as always will be winning a championship, while providing education to the athletes who participate in the progrem.

As an eduactor coach Don McKee is not i unique member of the University of Waterloo athletic department’ but he stands out by his achievements and his ability to make his team as successful as it has been.

During the season, the teams played some great ball.

The playoffs were held from July 910. In the men’s league, the close race between the three top ranked teams assured an exciting playoff.

Unfortunately, due to the heat wave that swept over Waterloo, there were a few defaults out of the Softball playoffs.

In the A league championship, there was a close battle. In the end, the PAS-OUTS triumphed over Gina’s Pizzeria with a 6-4 win. The Beer Pitchers rose from the B league championship with a 10-l win over the South 6 Black Sox. In the Men’s Slo-Pitch league,
