pageant controversy. by Henrietta Veerman Imprint staff Bloodied women, chained women, and chanting women outside. Inside rouged women, coiffed women, and smiling women. This was the scene at the Mi‘ss Oktoberfest pageant, held Thursday, October 6 in the Humanities Theatre at Hagey Hall. “Beauty pageants are discriminatory,” cried protestors ,organized by the Women’s Centre and the Federation of Students Women’s Issues Board. Held back by Waterloo Regional Police and campus security, the protesting men and women demonstrated against the pageant in the Hagey Hall foyer before and during the first half of the pageant. Miss Oktoberfest 1988 is Jennifer Keddy of Toronto. Keddy is a Kinesiology student af the University of Waterloo, One protestor, dressed as a contestant, stood chained to another dressed as a battered housewife and covered in fake blood, The housewife was chained to a symbolic rape victim lying on the floor also covered in blood. They were depicting a “chain of commend.” The other protestors, about 40 in total, surrounded this trio, and waved signs that read “Free our bodies,” “Pageants misrepresent women,” and “What is really being judged?” Midway through the pageant, tension mounted as Master of
Ceremonies Mike Carbone prepared to announce the five finalists. At this point, three protestors planted in the atidience stood up, chanting, “Sexist pageants get off our campus.” Carbone continued announcing the finalists as the protestors, who included Cindy Holmes and Federation of Students Vice-President Wendy Rinella, were escorted by their arms out of Humanities Theatre by pageant officials, and out of Hagey Hall by up to ten officers of the University of Waterloo Police as well as Waterloo Regional Police forces. “Pageants portray an image’of women which is not an accurate portrayal,” said Chairperson Kelly Cascone (Federation Womens’ Issues Board). who was also a protestor. “It is an image based on beauty.” “It’s not just sexism, there’s also racism,” said Suzanne Desaulniers, a protestor from the Women’s Centre. “Not one contestant was black, and there has never been a winner of any other colour than white,” Cascone also claimed contestants cannot be married or com-

Four L-:;*w disgruntled staff quit Used Book.Store I by Renate Stsedel Employees at the Federation of Stud&s” Used Book Store have given their notices of resignation dated effective Friday, October 14. The staff is frustrated by a lack of space, !ow wages and under-staffing. “We’re getting really frustrated that things aren’t getting looked into,” said Todd Howe,. former manager and current assistant manager of the bookstore. Howe and three other employees, Mary Dooley, Mary Jo Schropp, and Louise Mikol, state a lack of action on behalf of the Federation of Students after years of complaining as the one main reason for their resignations. The Used Book Store has long been on the Federation of Students agenda for improvement. During the Federation election campaign in January 1988, current Vice-President (Operations and Finance) Shane Carmichael revealed the Record Store, the Campus Shop and the Used Book Store could be expanded using existing storage space in the
Campus Centre. Howe took over from former manager Marg Dooley in May of this ye&. Dooley quit for the same reasons as the others. Howe’s term ended September 6, whereupon the position was opened up for competition to all university staff as is required by university policy. This action resulted in Record Store manager John Jongerius also taking over as manager of the Used Book Store on September 6. Howe, however, was under the impression he was to continue as manager. The displaced manager feels the Federation of Students “was using university policy to get what they want.” “There’s no way they can run this place with just students working parttime... The bookstore grosses about $400,000 per year and has been increasing by about $30,000 every year. That means about 1,000 books more per Yk8L. They need a full-time manager,” Howe stressed. Mary Dooley, daughter of former manager Marg Dooley
and a staff member for the past five vears. maintains that the staff is not trying to blackmail the Feds by giving their notice. Says Howe, “I care about the store+.. 1 just don’t want to get screwed? Apparently, the Fehs had told staff to wait for a new Federation of Students Centre to be built in 5 or 6 years before they could expect expansion. As the new book store manager, Jongerius, empathizes with the staff’s situation and is working toward a solution, he said. “All of us in the basement of the Campus Centre are cramped for space,” he said. Jongerius is presently negotiating with Campus Centre manager Anne Woodruff to move the Used Book Store into the pool room, which would give the operation about 160 square feet more than it has now. Jongerius also wants to computerize all of the bookstore’s paperwork. The present method of doing everything by hand is “labour-intensive and archaic,” he said. This ,change could be completed by next spring.

Universities to become “service stations” under trade deal? by Marie Sedivy Imprint staff A A. ‘J ‘, Whge,on the surface, universities witi- not be greatly affected by the free trade agreement, indirect “back door” effects of closer economic integration with the United States could force Canddian universities into closer ties with business, said Michael Skolnik of the Ontario Institute of Studies in Education. Skolnik was on campus October II to give the last talk in a four part series on free trade. The only education services covered by the current agreement are post-secondary nonuniversity commercial education such as vocational schobls, business colleges, etc. Most university courses would not be directly affected. Skolnik stressed that any potential effects of the current deal would likely result from the structural differences in the two university systems and from an ensuing pressure for uniformity. The U.S. system is hierarchically structured and there-is a great .range in quality. In Canada, on the other hand, there is far less variation in quality. Furthermore, Skolnik says; many American universities do not engage ‘in substantial research:‘-:In Canada, research grants gre more equally distributed. : Specialized institutions found in the States may give American business a competitive advantage, he says. Thus, in seeking a similar edge for themselves, Canadian businesses might put pressure on Canadian universities to become more Americanized. As a result, universities would increasingly be viewed in their economic role at the expense of their general education role. Due to greater specialization in the U.S. university system, some of the liberal arts colleges are currently insulated from this trend; however, liberal arts education in Canada might suffer from pressure to turnuniversities into
“economic service stations.” Skolnik also expects a decline in the amount of American research carried out in Canada. He suggests less corporate research will occur. UW would be particularly affected by such a move. Moreover, the American funding system might affect access to education in Canada. Ssuth of the border, a greater proportion of funding is in the form of grants and loans to students rather than grants directly to the university. There is also a greater proportion of loans to grants than in Canada, According to Skolnik, an emphasis on market ideology might increase students’ dependence on loans. Canadian student groups argue that depending on loans discourages young people from lower socio-economic groups from pursuing higher educat ion. Another possible way in which the free trade agreement might affect universities is through changes in employment, production, and government revenue. However, Skolnik pointed out the correlation between government revenue and university funding has been weak in the past. In addition, universities have largely rejected manpower planning and are somewhat insulated from the level of competition within a particular field. Universities might be affected by changes in student preferenCES due to market changes: an increasing number of older university students are creating a student body more responsive to market changes. Skolnik does expect these effects to be minimal. Throughout the lecture, Skolnik emphasized the free trade agreement’s effect on universities is not likely to be as great as , iii other sectors. Skolnik stressed the difficulty in gauging the agreement’s effects on any sector of Canadian society. He cautioned there is too much uncertainty surrounding the deal, and thus he cannot see

the deal as desirable. These uncertainties are exacerbated when it comes to social services; the chapter which lists the services covered under the deal also stipulates that both parties are to. negotiate an expansion in the range covered. - Thus while universities are not currently covered, there is no guarantee they will not be included at a future date. “The agreement proclaims to be the first step,” said Skolnik. “But it doesn’t say where the journey is leading.”

With the chain of command, we are trying to make a graphic connection of the objectification of women that is central to a beauty contest.” “Pageants are a part of a system in our society that promotes and creates an image of women as objects,” she said.

Question: Can you offer come ineight iato the upcoming federal elect ion? Anewer: First of all, I’d like to point out that it was not unusual for the Prime Minister to wait this long in calling the election in fact, he could have waited even longer. The P.Cls have a strong position in the polls now. I don’t think the Liberals want an election at this point: yet, they obviously cannot appear hesitant or weak. I think this is a very important election, because of the free trade issue. Historically, the Liberals have actually been committed to free trade so it would be interesting to see what happens if they do win. Although the free trade issue and its good and bad effects are difficult for everyone to figure out, it is unfortunate that the alternatives to free trade are even more vague.

On-campus polls planned by Scott ‘Murray Imptint staff
-
The Federation of Students and the City of Waterloo are planning four polling stations on the UW campus for the November 14 municipal election. The polls will be open from IO:OO a.m. to 8:oop.m. in the Great Hall of the Campus Centre. Students were credited with a dismal turnout in 1985. It is especially important to vote this year. For the first time in ten years, there will be a mayoralty race; current Mayor Marjorie Carroll has been acclaimed for five consecutive terms, School Board positions are also being contested, Also on this year’s ballot is a referendum on whether to change from the current at-large system to a ward system. Canadian citizens aged 18 and over, who resided in Waterloo between September 6 and Oc-
tober 15 are eligible to vote. If you plan to vote, you must be enumerated (that is, your name must be registered on the voters’ list). The deadline for revisions to the voters list is October 15, If you have not been enumerated, you may add your name to the list by going down to the Clerks’ Department in the City Centre located at 100 Regina St. behind the Waterloo Town Sauare. If you are not suri whether you have been enumerated, you can call the Clerks’ Department at 8864550 and check.If youare unable to be enumerated, but still wish to vote, you may do so by going to the proper poli on November id and signing an affidavit I The four polls in the Campus Centre will consist of enumerated voters from the Villages, the Church Colleges, and the Columbia Street Townhouses.

Miss Oktoberfest protest by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff “Beauty Pageants Hurt All People” was just one of the rallying cries used by a very vocal crowd of protestors to greet audience members arriving at the Miss Oktoberfest Pageant at The Humanities Theatre last Thursday evening. Assembling at 6:30 p+mt, the group of about seventy men, women, and children began their protest outside the main entrance of The Humanities Theatre, under the watchful eyes of several police officers, and moved inside to the Hagey Hall foyer where pageant-goers were treated to the sight of three young women chained together: a prie tine, white-clad beauty queen; a gagged, bruised housewife; and a prone rape victim. Significantly, the three women were silent for the duration of the protest. Waving placards and shouting chants of “People are more than meat ,‘I “What is really being
WITH
and “We reject this judged?” image of women,” the protesters could hardly be ignored by the well-dressed pageant-goers who viewed them with expressions ranging from bemusement to uncomprehending disgust. One employee of the Humanities Theatre described the audience as an affluent, highly car orate group, sitting in reserved 1 locks of sbats. “A good part of the audience was totally in the dark as to what people were objecting to and just thought something like, ‘Oh, those damn feminists are against everything.“’ While the chanting in the foyer could be heardin the theatre during breaks in the program, the employee said the pageant organizers were obviously wellprepared for the protest: the Humanities audience may have been shaken by the events of the evening, but the television audience, while they may have heard something, would have little idea of what they were hearing. j

The employee stressed that although he was opposed to the pageant being held on campus, he voluntarily signed up to work the pageant. “I did it for the money - which I donated to the Women’s Centre, Basically, I’d never seen the pageant before, and I wanted to see what it was like.” Cindy Holmes, a co-organizer *of the protest, described it as the best that the Women’s Centre has staged since the protests began in 1978; althou h, it will be difficult to guage ta e effects the protest has had on the campus and community at large for some time. She does maintain that the events of the past two weeks have gone a long way toward raising consciousness of the issue of whether the UW campus should host beauty pageants. #‘A good deal of awareness was generated by Ann Simonton - a lot more than two weeks ago.

Ethics still a must for business success by Scott Fleck Imprint staff Unethical business practices have high costs in loss to prestige and image of a company. This was the message in a lecture on business and ethics delivered by Rabbi W. Gunther Plaut._ __ _ I I The talk opened the Laurier Lecture Series, a public series hosted annually by WLU Each year, the talks-center around a common theme; the theme in 1988 is ethics and its relation to religion, medicine, politics, and journalism. In light of the recent Ben Johnson scandal, the Sports and Ethics seminar on October 19 may be of special interest, Expressing his views to a sparse crowd of 49 people, Plaut pointed out that P.T. Barnum’s famous quote “Never give a sucker a break,” has reflected business practices from biblical to modern times. “Business is business,” has become an idiom in society. The socially acceptable profit motive has excused businessmen from the standards of ethics which the community has set for
In what is being billed as “W,aiter-Rama 88,” Quinn McCarthy, manager at the Hotel Waterloo, is trying to enter the Guinness Book of World Records by waiting on tables, for 120 consecutive hours, This stunt will take place at Chadds’s, the hotel’s restaurant, and funds raised from it will go to support the KW Hospital’s “Emergency Room Fund.” McCarthy is hoping to raise ten thousand dollars, through pledges and donations of all his tips during the record attempt. He hopes to last from noon on Tuesday, October II until the early hours of Sunday morning. He will be allowed one fiveminute break every hour and can accumulate up to 15 minutes at a time. McCarthy says he’ll use these breaks for showers, shaving and rest. Coaching will be provided by his manager, Jane White who, as McCarthy says, “has permission to slap me around” in order to keep him awake. McCarthy approached Len Gamache of the K-W Hospital Foundation (and a former Imprint editor-in-chief) with the idea. Gamache liked the idea and thought it would spark some interest. “Quinn is quite an indi-
,vidual and quite a special person, Some people are not as genuine in their reasons (for raising funds), but I knew he was going to follow through.” There has been over a quarter of a million dollars raised so far for the renovation of the hospital’s emergency area, but another million is needed before work can be started, Gamache says that general renovations are needed such as buying better equipment and reorganizing the setup of the emergency department. The last renovations happened in 1967 when the amount of traffic was 150 patients per day. Today, the same facilities treat will over 200 people daily. As Gamache points out “We’re overextended. If you’ve been into the hospital you’ll notice the number of people waiting around.” Waiter-Rama has received an enthusiastic reaction, “The response is ten-thousand times greater than I expected,” McCarthy explains. He has had interviews with local paper, radio and television stations as well as one with a San Diego newspaper. Most of the four tables he will be serving are filled, but he is still looking for overnight patrons. There is no official world record for waitering, but

its citizens. Plaut cited numerous examples of unethical business practices including systemic discrimination and predatory pricing, “Business is business is bad business,” was the point which Rabbi Plaut stressed. The misconception in today’s _ -- business _ community _ is that ” if the m_rulee .of ethics is stringently applied, the profit margin goes down. In reality, Plaut claims the loss in prestige, image, labour, and loyalty for the company outweighs any monetary gain. The Reichmanns serve as examples for the SUCcess of a good ethical reputation. The Old Hebrew Bible uses the same word for “labour” as for “worship.” The rabbi feels this signifies that the ethics we apply in our service to God must also be applied in our service to fellow man. The opportunity and, therefore, the temptation to reap ex-, cessive wealth has never been greater in the history of man. Rabbi Plaut asserts that total freedom is not allowable in society and must not be allowable in business.

McCarthy thinks that press clippings confirming the length of his attempt will be enough to make him the first to get into the record books. As far as preparations go, he has been resting up and working out in order to build up his endurance. The renovations, ‘which will begin in January‘ 1989, are funded entirely by private donations. Gamache says “I have no time to fool around, We can’t wait 14 or 15 months to get a million dollars from the ministry.” He feels the renovations are long overdue and realizes the hospital’s finances are tight in other areas.

Grav Coach cancels by Daaeal Charney Imprint etaff Two weeks agot Gray Coach decided to cancel its morning service from Guelph to the UW campus because of an insufficient number of passengers. Linda Fegan, Public Affairs representative for Gray Coach, said that after six counts on the number of people taking the 8:lO a.m, coach every morning, a decision was made to call the service off. While the Gray Coach bus holds, 47 passengers, the average number af people on the morning service was eleven,
What it comes down to is money. Because the Gray Coach is a private company, it is not subsidized by the government. Therefore, their first consideration is whether a service is costeffective. ’ The normal number 505 bus has
been replaced
by a morning
bus running from Guelph into Kitchener. Consequently, the ten to fifteen students or staff or faculty who took the early service, will either have to take the bus to Kitchener and then another to UW, or have to wait until Gray Coach feels there is a sufficient amount of people to justify the regtoration of the service.

COMMENT
Better than the stockyards Last Thursday, October 6, the University of Waterloo hosted the Oktoberfest Beauty Pageant. The Humanities Theatre never looked more truly dazzling. The sets and banners were superb. The production was very professional, as befits a live telecast, The local dance school “Bojangles” provided very entertaining dance numbers throughout the program. The audience for this splendid evening was a veritable “who’s who” of glittering K-W “High Societ-y.” Perhaps most entertaining, was all the action “behind the scenes,” Not a step, not a turn, not a single gesture was left to chance, Each contestant was surrounded by prompters never glimpsed by the T.V. viewers. Behind both the cameras and in the wings people gesticulated energetically at the contestants, They motioned the contestants where to go, when to go, and what to do when they got there every second they were on stage. Let one example of the organizers scrupulous attention to every detail suffice. The five finalists had to standin a row for the announcement ofthe new Miss Oktoberfest and the four runners-up, Their positions were determined by five flat disks, painted the same colour as the stage, These disks were placed on the stage for the contestants to stand on. Before air time, one of the producers noticed the contestant line was a little crooked. The girls were momentarily “nudged” off their disks SO the line could be straightened. When “on the air” they were in a perfect line and smiling at the right camera! The most popular event of the evening was the swimsuit competition, This was obviously a very important moment for the judges. These mature gentlemen were all highly qualified for the task at hand. After all, they collectively represented the corporate and industrial foundations of our community, The competitors displayed amazing skill, accomplishing their walks and turns with “poise” and “grace.” This was all the more remarkable considering the six inch heels they were wearing at the time. You couldn’t help but be touched by one very helpful gesture on the prompter’s part. When the girls had reached the edge of the stagb in their lovely red bathing suits, they turned their backs on the audience and stood for a moment. No doubt this greatly assisted the judges in their deliberations, having the contestants so plainly display their credentials. It seemed certain that at any moment, given the obvious approval of all in attendance, someone would start the bidding! This waS by far superior to anything ever seen at the stockyards. Their teeth were clean, their eyes were bright, their skin looked healthy. What more could anyone want? The judges came to their decision, quickly bringing the evening to its climax, Jennifer Keddy, a Kinesiology graduate of our own university won! No wonder all those “kids” outside were shouting! And what wonderful.things everybody is giving her! They include an Austrian Cape, lots of clothes, an electric editing typewriter, an engraved gold pen and pencil set, an Indian Rug, a leather handbag, a scholarship and lots more! Boy! It sure pays to be pretfy! “We are confident with who we are and what we represent,” the freshly crowned queen said. Good for you Jennifer. Good for you too Traci Brubaker, a travel consultant from New’Mexico who was first runner up and the winner of the swim suit competition.. Brubaker, winner-of a 45 piece Noritake dinner set, explained to the audience “Pageants give women an opportunity for personal expression and self-fulfillment. It is also used as a springboard to the road to success.” She later clarified her philosophy about entering Beauty Pageants - she does it ‘I for the money.” Nobody can say / Traci was just born yesterday! The question is, Should not UW President Doug Wright look at the social ramifications of beauty pageants and do his duty to tell the community that this university does not support treating women like livestock. We think he should! Many people financially supported the Miss Oktoberfest Pageant by purchasing a ticket. Not everyone there, however, supported treating women like livestock. There were three women who gained entrance to ensure they could disrupt the pageant with their shouts of disapproval. Protesters outside made some happy-go-lucky spectators rethink what the pageant represented. And, at least one Humanity Theatre staff member has made a decision which is plausible. One thing alone diminishesmy fond memories. Unlike the other happy patrons, I didn’t contribute to the Pageant financially. You see. I worked for the theatre that night, I was pclid to be there. My conscience won’t allow me to profit from such an illuminating display of values and priorities. I’m taking my earnings from working that night and donating theni to a worthy cause. Federation of Students Women’s Commissioner, Kelly &scone perhaps could best advise me in this matter. After ~11, I’m very motivated after the Miss Oktoberfest Beauty Pageant to do alI I can to “give women an-opportunity for persontll expression and self-ful jillment.” Miss

Student vet-er turnoutadismalrecord On September 28 Waterloo Mayor Marjorie Carroll announced. she would run for reelection in the municipal election to be held on November 14. Then, October 1 Prime Minister Brian Mulroney announced Parliament had been dissolved with a federal election to be held NOvember 21. Ontarians face the prospect of voting in municipal elections just one week before the federal vote. The close proximity of the two votes will merge and disguise issues and concerns provincial and national
at the levels0
Many voters will be overwhelmed with the barrage of information certain to be thrown their way by the media and various campaigns, But will this inundation keep voters away from the polls? Student voters with crucial homework assignments, mid-terms and job interviews looming may react by staying away. Enumeration, reading and selecting from the choices available and finally voting could possibly prove too much. The record of student voters on this campus is dismal at best, but I believe this federal election must witness a change. Student leaders at UW are doing their best to provide students with plenty of opportunities to exercise their responsibility to vote by establishing on-campus polling stations. Our nation is at a turning point which will certainly effect the immediate and long-term future of our country. The issues of free trade, defence policy, abortion, and daycare must be addressed
if Canada is to have clearly defined direction into the ’90s and beyond. As university students we must realize the future leaders of Canada will come from within our ranks, We will be asked to guide this nation within two decades but the question will be: Will we be capable? We niust begin showing an interest and knowledge of the direction which the various
parties propose for Canada. Else how can we expect to assume the reins of leadership in the future? Today’s policy will create tomorrow’s environment; the environment in which we must lead. If for no other reason than to ease our own jobs down the road, we must inform ourselves of the options and vote in the approaching elections. John Masm

Denying eth-nit inaredients To the editor, I was reading the article “Multiculturalism divides,” by Tom Chauvin Jr., from last week’s Imprint (Oct. 7) while I was on the train. It basically said we should be a united, English-speaking Canada. What does that say for multiculturalism if we are not encouraged to continue speaking our mother tongue at home. The farmland that I saw along the trip pretty well sums up my feelings. It was typical Southwestern Ontario scenery; stands of trees grouped across the field of vision. The trees in each cluster intermingle among each other, growing as a group, sheltering each other from the wind, promoting undergrowth, wildlife, and fruit; no one tree dominates the others. Then, each fall, they express their individual beauty. The great trees that grow on their own in the middle of the fields say a lot too, Here they are allowed to branch off as wide 88 they want, and grow as high as they can. They eventually pay the price; weakened by t he wind, they cannot support their own weight and are eventually struck down by lightning, rot, or drought. Canada encourages a mosaic. Canadians should not be molded into a culture that is not theirs. This makes Canada unique in that we can experience lifestyles of people across the world in our own neighborhood. 4
1 am a Dutch Canadian, and very proud of it. I used to have your point of view, until I had a Welsh Canadian roommate studyi’ng French, and I spent three months in the country of my ancestors. Just coming to university, and being invited to an ASEANS dinner, playing soccer against ,the CSA, and meeting people who are proud of their heritage from all over the world makes me a believer in multiculturaliam. You may have forgotten that Canada was built by immigrants. French fur traders, Chinese CPR workers, Ukrainian farmers, and It alian bricklayers have all made Canada what it is. We should show our appreciation by allowing them their culture, and not adopt a melting pot. Would there be an Oktoberfest, Highland Games, and foreign restaurants if we were forced to be Canadians? Would they be the same? You may not realize it, but language is beautiful. It is terrible when you cannot give your gratitude to your oma (I learned this ‘word first; it is Dutch for grandma], or deeply say sorry to your opa, or understand Spanish protest songs. What is your next step? Unite the world with one language? You cannot do that: people are too stubborn and proud of their heritage. And what language would it be? Russian? - they
Fedbook ad To the editor, I am responding to Daneal Charney’s commentary ‘%atch 22: Alcohol and awareness on campus” (October 7, 1988) because it is hypocritical and misleading. As editor of the 1988-89 Fed Book, I was responsible for soliciting advertising to help offset the high printing costs and to help provide a free publication for the students. Unfortunately, that is not a simple task because, for various reasons, most advertisers are not anxious to place ads in such publications. The most expensive ad space in the book was the back cover, and, accordingly, it was the most difficult to sell. Therefore, as an incentive to prospective back cover and inside cover advertisers, we (the Federation of Students and I) offered to screen their corporate logos over one day each week for 52 weeks of the year in the calendar section. This year, I a proached many prospective bat & cover advertisera, such as Coca-Cola, Seagrams, McDonald’s, Bingeman Park, Pioneer Sports World, and Amstel. Amstel was the first company to confirm the ad. The fact that they produce beer had nothing to do with it. I disagree with her proposition that beer ads promote irresponsible social behaviour. It’s like
habits. Besides, if she truly believes that beer advertisements are hazardous to students, why did she not protest the full-page Molson ad that appeared on page 31 of last week’s Imprint [October 73 She also criticized the handbook for not containing enough advertisements for companies who are prospective UW student employers such as oil companies. She obviously forgot that I s ent more’time during the last t R ree weeks of July trying to sell ads to those companies than I did to any other.’ The reason there are so few of those ads (although there are four more than there were in last year’s handbook) is because we approached them too late. Next year we will know better. As editor of the Imprint, you must be aware of the importance of advertising. I am certain that as Ms. Charney gains experience with Imprint she too will appreciate that perspective. May I suggest that, in the future, commentaries written by Imprint staff members not contain stahdard story bylines. Not only will this help your readers realize the opinions expressed in those articles are not necessarily those of the newspaper, but also will confirm that those articles were not simply placed in the Opinion section by mistake.

I TO YOU.. HEALTH The real world’of Question: I’m not sure if I should be writing to you about this, but in a previous article, you said the Health and Safety Resource Network deals with all health problems, and you included relationship breakdown as one of them. I am a Z&year-old guy. I have been going out with the same girl for five years this month, We enjoy each other’s company, but I came to realize I am not committed to this relationship with respect to marriage and a future., I .have thought many times that, to be fair, I should break up with my girlfriend, but it has been five years and she is apparently more serious than I am about getting married and “settling down.” Well, the other day, I told her how I felt. She was hurt and angry and is somewhat bitter. I just don’t even know my own feelings. How do I say goodbye to someone I’ve shared everything with for one-fifth of my life? We have talked about my lack of commitment and we &en thought about “going out with other people.” I said that I just couldn’t stand being only “partly” seeing each other, that it had to be all or nothing and I wasn’t sure I could handle the “all.” I-can’t blame her for being upset. I guess my fears are that I’m doing the wrong thing. What if I go through life without finding “Miss Right”? What if this is her and I just can’t commit? I really look forward to having a family and children, but I don’t think I should stay in this relationship. I would like to do so much with my life, and I feel like it’s going by so fast. I would like to do things on my own, without commitment, but I feel like I’m just running away. All of my friends are either maried or engaged, so I don’t know where to turn. I’m just so lonely.
Dear Reader: The ending of a relationship is a difficult choice to make for anyone. The fact that this relationship has lasted five years makes it an even more difficult situation for you and your girlfriend. From your letter, it sounds aa if you have already made the decision to change something in your life, and that changing this relationship would be for the better. You may be seeing things more clearly than you think.., Since, you felt that something was just “not right” with your relationship, you were right to tell your girlfriend your feelings and to,make a change. One of the most important aspects of a relationship is honesty, and although you are both hurting deeply now, you both undoubtedly appreciate the fact you are able to talk about it. Your girlfriend is going through a very normal reaction to your suggestion for change. She was committed to this relationship, and thus had not considered its potential breakdown. The shock has not only made her realize that you are seeking something else in life, which is hard to swallow, but that she must go on “alone,” and try to make herself a single, important person again. Remember, at z&years-old, both of you were likely just entering the “real” world, and suddenly she’s been thrust into it without a partner. She will be successful at it, though, and just needs time to
relationships realize her potential. You, too,.are reacting normally to your relationship breakdown, even though you have guilty feelings about being the cause of it. What you must remember is that your life is going to become what you make of it. If you had decided to remain in this relationship for an endless period of time just because it was comfortable, your eventual marriage and family life would not have been the one you were looking for anyway. That comfort (and perhaps a little immaturity] may very well be what kept you in this relationship for so long. The past five years have been a growth period for both of you, and none of it has been a “waste,” as many people in your girlfriend’s situation tend to put it. You have some wonderful memories and have grown together through may things, and perhaps you just found out you were ready to tackle the world on your own. There is nothing wrong with that. You said you were feeling that “what if...” feeling, apd that you were concerned you were doing the wrong thing. You knew this risk when you made your decision: however, and your going through with it showed you really are confident in your choices. If you and your girlfriend were meant to be together, then this is a healthy way to give each other time to become individuals again and to find out what you want from this new world. Inevitably, you are going to feel lonely, and even scared, because you are going to find it difficult to forget all of the times your shared. You have been together through a number of situations in the past five years, and the years from age 20 to 25 can indeed be periods of exploration and change. Of course you are going to miss the love and attention your girlfriend afforded you, but you are also going to find joy in other friends, relatives and new colleagues who will see you as a different, perhaps more assertive and independent individual. Many people in your situation see themselves as being selfish, that “they were only thinking of themselves.” You are entitled to a bit of. that at this point, as long as you respect other8 for who they want to be as well. In your mid-twenties, you are are going to look ahead, and some focus inward allows you to make the personal decisions right for you. Don’t go looking for love for awhile. With the loneliness and emptiness you feel, you will want some attention and someone to focus on you, but your priority right now must be to make yourself who you want to be, and not who someone else is looking for. Once you complete that task, ybu won’t have to go looking at all, For more information on this topic or others, write to the Health and Safety Resource Network, c/o Imprint, or phone University of Waterloo [885-1212) extension 6277. The HSRN is a liaison between you and any source of health/safety inforMation you need, and can also provide pamphlets, films, speakers, and phone numbers to other resources, The office is located in room ~21 of the Wealth and Safety building and we invite you in to talk to one of our volunteers, See the HSRN bulletin board in the southwest entrance of the campus centre for answers to questions and other interesting health and safety information.

Dander up -over WPIRG debate To the editor, Well, my dander is up. I find the current WPIRG debate to be as annoying as it is pathetic. What we have displayed here is the petty style of self-righteousness that holds our world in the balance. With all the valid concerns for life, the environment and future generations, people like Mr. Tarr and Mr. Ghate are whining about a couple of bucks, But isn’t that always the way. You may choose to fiddle while Rome burns, but don’t abolish the fire department. The WPIRG isn’t perfect but can one ever expect perfection? The importance of public interest groups is always understated and often questioned. I want no part of a world without them. Mr. Tarr and Mr. Ghate may not give a monkey’s left nut about the dodo or the whale but when you’re gasping breath because the rain-forests are gone and the sun is turning your skin to bacon because the ozone is gone, I hope you can buy something useful with your four bucks.

Daycare 2, opposition To the editor, I must congratulate Renee Beneteau. Her article on daycare is excellent, It is rewarding to see the topic becoming a hot election issue. Those of us involved in children know the drastic need for good quality daycare. Daycare centres, like nursing homes and hospitals, are part of a service industry that, of necessity, has high staff costs. These costs do not make daycare a profitable business. It is also important to note that philosophically, parents should have the say in their child’s life that non-profit care brings. The government has acknowl-

edged these needs, as outlined by MS, Beneteau, This is why daycare, like nursing, is beginning to be funded. Life is not the bowl of cherries many of us hoped for when we started our university education, Marriages made in heaven do break up..

TO the editor, Judging from the remarkable congruence between Mark Brzustowski’s’ report “Whitewashing Our Nuclear Legacy” (September 23) and the Energy Probe line of argument, I can only conclude that the entire article was actually an extended Energy Probe propaganda pamphlet in newsprint form (extended, that is, by a hefty dosage of Norm Rubin’s rhetoric) I There is no doubt that Mr. Rubin is a fine supplier of juicy quotes for the media - always there whenthe bare facts are too boring for good press. He is a worthy director of an organization that thrives on fear-dona-
tions from the public, generated by a constant barrage of misconstrued facts and paranoia from organizations like his Energy Probe. It was particularly in light of this that I had to laugh at the hypocrisy of the following quote of Mr. Rubin’s: “It’s bad enough to be brainwashed by... (a) special interest group that’s spending their (sic) own money, but when you can be brainwashed by a special interest* group that’s spending your money, then, as far as I’m concerned, you’ve reached new heights of outrage+” Bravo, Mr. Rubin.

20 percent will ‘fall victim by Chandra
Hardeen
Sexual harassment is on the university campus. Joan McCurdy-Myer, a member of the Sexual Harassment committee at Brock University in St Catharines believes we can expect ten to twenty percent of students will be victims of sexual or gender harassment. Gender harassment is judging or stereotyping people on the basis of gender. Sexist jokes and remarks are the primary types of gender harassment. Sexual harassment encompasses a wide range of matters from verbal abuse to sexual assault, Sexual harassment is a type of discrimination that is based on power, not sex. “It’s when someone who has more power, use@ that power in the sexual arena” says McCurdyMyer. “They either offer some kind of reward or pay off to someone for sexual favours or they threaten,., with a negative consequence if they don’t give some kind of sexual favours,” she said. Sexual harassment is present
when sexual attention is unwanted and unwelcomed by the receiver. It creates an environment in which learning becomes difficult and even impossible, Because the victim often feels powerless, he or she is often unable to take steps to rectify the situation. McCurdy-Myer asserts “They feel that if they do, there will be some kind of repercussion.” Although sexual harassment is a problem for both men and women, research has shown that because men are more often in positions of power, it is more likely for women to fall prey to this type of abuse. In cases of sexual or gender harassment’ there are a number of steps to be taken. Advice and counselling can be sought from the Sexual Harassment Committee, also, informing the perpetrator that his or her actions are creating an uncomfortable situation could be all that is needed to put an end to the harassment. Very often the person “may have done it out of ignorance, they’re not malicious,” says McCurdyMyer.

LONDON, Ont. (ISIS) Whether they are used for protection against sexually-transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies, or; as water balloons, the number of condoms bbtained by University of Western Ontario students has steadily increased by about half over the past year. “Condoms are being picked up fast and furiously,‘* said Ardath Hill, nurse educator at Health Services, a counsellor on safe sex for the last six years. “The freebies have been well received, with more girls picking them up.” Though more students are obtaining condoms, Hill is not sure students are applying that awareness to the their sexual behavior. “They could be playing with condoms, blowing them up or filling them with water,” said Hill, “but at least people are getting used to touching them and feeling more comfortable with the subject.” Although condom sales at the Picadilly general store in the University Community Centre “are so small they’re insignificant ,” according to store manager Garry Judd, the number of condoms sold in drugstores and vending machines indicates an increased awareness about unsafe sex. “Sales have picked up about 40 per cent since the students have come back to the city after the summer,” said Lisa Cook, front office manager of the Big V Drugstore near the Richmond campus gates. ,
Sales from Rainbow Condom vending machines located in residence restrooms, as well as at the Spoke and the Elbow Room taverns, have jumped by half since March of 1988, with sales in male bathrooms being “eightfold” that of women’s, said Heinz Bolender, responsible for inst alling the machines in universities and colleges across the country.

But Bolender has seen sales taper off recently, citing the lack of media attention on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome [AIDS] as the reason. “It’s kinda fizzed away, you know. People have become lackadaisical,‘* he said. , “Before, students were scared and wanted protection. Now, it seems as though the hysteria has died down.“-

Female faculty under-represented trends actually
by Judy Holhnds There are far fewer female than male faculty members at the University of Waterloo. Women faculty are under-represented in senior administrative positions and there have been questions about discrepancies between male and female salaries. UW is not an exception. University teaching has long been a male-dominated career path at campuses across Canada. Still, Waterloo faces some unique obstacles in encouraging women in academic life. Over the past three years there have been some sincere attempts at understanding the source of disparities. Some corrective measures have been witnessed; however, questions remain. Is Waterloo doing enough to encourage women to choose careers in academia? A study released by Statistics Canada this summer reported that despite a 713 per cent increase in the number of female teachers between 1960 and 1985, women still represent only 17 per cent of all full time university teachers. These women are primarily concentrated in social sciences, health sciences and education. In 1985, 81 per cent of all female faculty were in one of these areas. There are also disciplines in which women are drastically under-represented, In 1985, women made up just 6 per cent of all teachers in math and physical sciences and merely z per cent of the total in engineering and the applied sciences, 10.8
and our track record is worse. At, Waterloo in 1986187 women represented just 10.8 per cent of total full time faculty compared to 17 per cent nationally. Female teachers at Waterloo are concentrated in the faculties of Arts (20.8 per cent of the total) and HKLS (28.0 per cent of the total). In the same year, women represented only 8.1 per cent of science faculty, 7.1 per cent in environmental studies, 6.7 per cent in math and only 1.2 per cent in engineering. The most telling evidence of the
-graduate students were female while only 20.8 per cent of the faculty was female. In Environmental Studies 35.5 per cent of graduate students were women compared to only 7.1 per cent of It appears that the faculty. women who are attaining graduate degrees are certainly not

Only 1.2 per cent of engineering faculty are women under-representation of female faculty members at UW is in senior administrative duties. A woman has never been president nor occupied any of the three vice-president positions. No woman has ever occupied any of the six positions as Academic Deans, The first ever female associate dean was appointed just this September. Of the 44 positions, as department chairmen only two are held by women. There are two female advisors to the vice-presidents; however, the most common administrative position held by women is undergraduate advisor, Women are clearly under-represented in the university teaching profession. It is far more complicated to explain why and what should be done. First, the major reason why WaJterloo is below the national average is the type of programs that we offer. Professor Doreen Bris-

more women entering these areas at the undergraduate level. What is the University of Waterloo doing to promote the hiring of more female faculty? According to Professor Brisban, “the president and vice-presidents are dedicated to creating opportunites for more female faculty.” The most recent evidence of this policy is the “excellence positions.” Started in 1986187, the excellence fund from the federal government provided 17 new positions, 15 of which went to women in the first year. The program will continue until 1990 and each year a quota of 50 per cent of positions going to women must be met. In advertising for these positions, the university specifically invited women to apply for the jobs; however, Professor Brisban cautions “this will not solve the problems by a long shot+” In times of restricted budgets, the university is more likely to hire from inside instead of advertis-

flocking into academic careers. The question of why qualified women are not becoming professors is certainly sensititve because i,t initiates a discussion of discriminatory hiring. Overt discrimination does not appear to be a problem at Waterloo (that does not mean it is non-existent]. Professor Trudy Bunting, Advisor on Interdisciplinary Programs to the Vice-President Academic and Provost, stated, “there is unintentional, or systemic discrimination which must be overcome in order to en-

In getting hired by universities for a teaching position there is an extensive informal network of contacts. For many departments it is predominantly male, The traditional academic career path is set up for people in a “spouse supported” family situation.

woman takes time off, it is time lost toward her research and tenure.” Professor Burt points out that the majority of women are in part-time positions and an upcoming review of part-time faculty will definitely benefit women teachers, Further, female graduate students are not encouraged to enter academic careers because of the lack of role models. Professor Bunting stresses that more women professors would encourage both female graduate and undergraduate students. Also, when more women are hired it will lessen the burden of current female faculty who are
Defecit af women role models members of numerous committees.

ing outside the university, she said. This is a deterrent for women. Professor Brisban is cautiously optimistic about the universities’ efforts to hire more female faculty. She says it will take a long time to reach a 50-50 level in all faculties unless Department Chairmen make a concerted effort to go out and find qualified women, Pay equity is another attempt at ending inequalities. This policy, initiated by the Ontario government’s, “equal pay for work of equal value” law, doe8 not address the issue of affirmative action or hiring more women. It merely requires UW to remedy any pay inequities between male and female dominated groups and will probably not affect the salaries of individual female faculty. What has affected the salaries of individual faculty members is the “Report of the Salary Review Committee of the Advisory Council on Academic Human Resources.” This committee was chaired by Professor George Soulis and its main goal was to review salary procedures and determine if the system discriminates against women. All 73 women in full-time faculty positions as af April 1987 had their salaries reviewed and it resulted in adjustments to the salaries of six women. This report concluded that, “it

Chilean referendum:
No vote not immediate return to democracy by Sherwood Hinze Imprint staff For the uninitiated, the October 5 plebiscite which gave a majority No to eight more years of Pinochet rule should not be seen as a return to immediate dem&racy in Chile. Nor should it be seen as a victory for U.S. foreign policy in Central and South America. The 54.7 per cent of the electorate who voted against Pinochet rule will have to wait until March 1990 for the general to step aside. Even at that time, Pinochet will take over as commander-in-chief of the army until 1997. Pinochet will also remain as head of the security council once a civilian president takes over, The army/security council will retain veto power over any legislation initiated or passed by the civilian congress. It must also be noted that the congress will not be purely civilian as the armed forces will maintain the right to appoint 9 of the 35 senators. General Pinochet will not have to hold general elections until late 198% Until that time, he remains in control of the country

Saying, “deviations from this continuous path are considered exceptions and tend to be heavil-y penalized in terms of the credit given toward salary and promotion.” The report admits “We believe that these at tit udes and assumptions about a faculty career are a cause of systemic problems facing women faculty.” As an answer the report recommends the availability of reduced-load tenure-track appointments for all faculty, including new appointments. The new alternative would allow pmehtS to take time off for family re’sponsibilities and not be penalized for it.
Numerous recommendations were made at the committee level. Salary reviews should be carried out for men and women on a three to six year rotation. All faculty should be informed of their relative salary positions. They also recommend “that new faculty administrators be instructed formally in salary matters.” All of these recommendations wi,ll be incorporated into the regular operations of the university to avoid “tension from building and fort-’ ing such extensive periodic reviews.,,”
Pro’fessor Soulis asserts “the university must recognize the unique role that women will play in increasing standards.” By not encouraging women into academic careers we are limiting the total pool of potential faculty, he said. If we are choosing from more people+ we will have a higher standard of teaching. We must pay a premium to attract women to academia. We must

Holmes, however, was hesitant about assessing the chances of getting the Miss Oktoberfest Pageant removed from ctimpus: “We’ve tried every avenue of protest from letter-writing to actually protesting at the pageant. This one was more graphic, though, and the numbers were better (about seventy).

Most who commented were hesitant about implementing a formal affirmative action program at Waterloo: I ’ It creates backlash and ‘resentment and can actually harm the advancement of women. Even the excellence appointments created some negative feeling among faculty. And, it is also important to create more role models so that women will be encouraged to pursue academic careers. In many departments the only way to create role models is to offer incentives such as reduced-load tenure track appointments, special scholarships or day care, Professor Burt is satisfied with the university’s attempts at understanding the causes of the low numbers of women on faculty. She does hope “some of the excellent recommendations of the Salary Review Committee are implemented soon.” Waterloo is not a leader in changing the traditional male-dominated ivory tower of academia; however’ the administration is making sincere attempts a,t increasing the number of women faculty.

THINK TWICE! Definition of propaganda
After World War Two, the U.S. . and the U.S.S.R found themselves at odds and both states intensifi@ their propaganda efforts. The U.S. fear of Communism, already entrenched in the 193Os, provided. a soli base for the creation of services like Voice of America, which still broadcasts Ynto “enemy” territory in an at. tempt to sway listeners to a position more compatible with. U.S. interests.
A systematic effort to manipulate the actions and attitudes of others through the use of words and symbols, which are chosen and arranged is presented by the propagandist to achieve a desired goal. The omission of facts and diversion of attention may both play a role in this process.
Recently, American propaganda efforts have been criticized for being ineffective. It is claimed the message of Voice of America {as well as those of Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe) is falling upon deaf ears, and that most listeners in Eastern Bloc nations are tuning in for the entertainment programming but ignoring the more politically biased content in the same manner that North Americans ignore commercials on television.
The difference between an educator and a propagandist is that an educator will try to present the various sides of an issue and to give the pupil the means to collect and evaluate information for him/herself. Propaganda eliminates the need, on the part of the reactor, to collect and evaluate information.
Propaganda may be overt or covert. In overt propaganda, the propagandist and his/her sponsors may be identified by the reactor; in covert, they may not be identified by the reactor. A wellmounted propaganda campaign will usually contain a mixture of both types. Processes related to propaganda include psychological warfare, brainwashing and advertising.
Remember
Pearl
Harbour?
Development d: Interest in propaganda developed during the Industrial Revolution, when the creation of a mass consumer cu(turo held the promise of big profits via mass marketing. It became necessary to determine the tastes, wants and needs of consumers and thus, the types of advertising to which they would respond.
By the early 20th century, it be. came apparent that advertising campaigns employed by business were increasing people’s susceptibility to political propaganda. All of the major combatants during WWI employed massive propaganda campaigns and interest in the subject grew with the publication of work by Pavlov, Freud and the now-famous propaganda expert Lasswell. The combination of new mass media (radio, print) to deliver propaganda and a new mass culture created by the Industrial Revolution to receive it was soon recognized by leaders to be a potent tool in the gaining of favour and subsequent consolidation of power.
During and after the October Revolution, Soviet leaders employed propaganda as a means of maintaining favour and support for the new order. A systematic propaganda effort also helped bring the Fascists to power in Italy in the ’30s. And in Germany, the intense and well-orchestrated efforts of the Ministry of Ptopaganda created a climate of hate which made the mass slaughter of the Jews permissible. As well, by making the Jews responsible for the ills which befell Germany after the First World War, the Ministry was able to provide a focus for hatred; the Nazis offered relief from the Jewish scourge. Thus, their propaganda efforts kept them in power,
The issue surrounding the effectiveness of Voice of America serves to illustrate a basic tenet of propaganda theory: propaganda means nothing if it isn’t effective, The propagandist’s main concern is, or should be, the effectiveness of his efforts. But what sort of propaganda is effective in this day and age? The answer depends on several variables. At whom is the propaganda directed? What media is to be used? What is the goal of the propagandist? It is safe to say that most North Americans are no longer susceptible to the propaganda efforts which won over the German people in the 1930’s

Joseph Goebbels said that, “The rank and file are usually much more primitive3Ban we imagine. Propaganda r@$t therefore be essentially simp& and repetitive.” Since he uttered that statement, ’ though, there h&s been a shift in the attitude of the so-called rank and file. Blind faith in the decision-making powers of monarchs and governments, which characterized pre-modern society, has slowly been replaced, in this decade, with a blind faith in facts and technological achievement; such an attitude was fostered by the scientific and technological progress which flourished after the Industrial Revolution. Propagandists in the first half of the century simply took advantage of the fact that, socially, the rank and file lagged behind in its ability to perceive the truth. In the post-WI/V II period, however, North Americans have become fact worshipers, who refuse to form opinions unless they are based on the truth.
The trouble is, in a world containing more information than any person could digest in a lifetime, the truth is often hard to come by. Most of us, out of a combination of convenience and necessity, must rely on secondhand information, if we are to learn anything about ‘the world around us. Unfortunately, this means that we are at the mercy of magsive covert propaganda campaigns waged by propagandists in all media. How can we protect ourselves against such an onslaught of disinformation7 Is there any way to perceive the truth in a society where facts are presented out of context, or given undue emphasis for effect? Find out in installment two.

Clappin for Captain Clapton by Chris
Reed
When you can fill Toronto’s renowned Maple Leaf Gardens with thousands of undying music fans fully expecting to be treated to a near religious experience, you can, in effect, do no wrong. Eric Clapton was put in such a position last Friday night and almost did no wrong. Almost.
The legendary blues-rock guitarist treated his followers to an impressive compilation of music touching on most of the aspects of his quarter-century in the business. The former Bluesbreaker served up a generous portion of his work from the 1000s and 197Os, ranging from and the Dominoes’ Derik Creem, the short-lived Blind Faith featuring Steve Winwood and Ginger Baker, and the more popular tracktirom his own solo work, includ,in# syrupy Wonder-. ful Tonightdad Gale’s often ifiitated Coc&e$‘” d It certainly &asn’t the selection of music that was the problem: Clapton is easily the most
The longest eliding to a song in music history prolific blues-rock guitarist of his time and his contributions to modern rock is insurmountable. The performance seemed to have been over-rehearsed and polished to a point of stifling the spontaneity that has become Clapton’s trademark, and the absence of his extended variations of recorded solos was evident. All of this is not to say the concert was a failure by any stretch of the imagination, In the jungle of musical dinosaurs desperately clinging to a fading career, Clapton has survived admira-
bly’ still recording first-rate songs that successfully compliment his classic recordings. His backing band was comprised of a series of virtuosos in their own right, the most notable of which, of course, was former Dire Straits leader Mark Knopfler. It was Knopfler’s characteristic plucking that introduced many of Clapton’s songs, and occasionally he would vacate the rhythm-guitar chair for solos of his own. Aside from a pathetic, encoreopening version of Money For Nothing, Knopfler’s contribu-
tions were steady and typically impressive’ further documenting the assertion he is among music’s most talented guitarists. Also impressing the exuberant audience with their solos were the rhythm duo of bassist Nathan East .and drummer Steve Serrone, the latter contributing to what must be the longest ending to a song in music history, taking his technically impressive drum solo at the end of the show-closing Sunshine of Your Life. East demonstrated his versatile musicianship, soloing on both the increasingly popular electric upright bass and the traditional electric bass, getting involved in a solo duplicating duel
with Clapton to the chagrin of the crowd. Eric Clapton’s concert closes an important chapter in the career of one of rock’s most important forefathers. Judging by Clapton’s recent recordings, quality of his tour and reactions of his faithful supporters, this chapter is not the last,

Hothouse Flowers in bloom by Derek Weiler Imprint staff I was not in the best frame of mind to appreciate the Hothouse Flowers concert last Friday. We arrived at the Diamond twenty minutes late, and were immediately ordered to check the camera I’d brought (which explains the dearth of photos for this review). -We then had to stand in line for disgustingly overpriced drinks, -and finally snagged a spot at the back of the room, all the while being jostled by the invariably rude and obnoxious Diamond staff.

The rest of the band kept up the same level of excellence. While O’Maonlai was seated be-
with O’Maonlai’s plaintive voice, and no musical backup. After two encores, the band wound things up with one of their rockingest songs, the Bside Hydroman. As good as they are on record, the Hothouse Flowers are an exceptional live band. Don’t miss ‘em the next time they’re in T.O. (even if they are playing at the Diamond).

Billy Preston, the former Beatles’ sideman, turns by Derek Weiler Imprint staff Rattle and Hum is UZ’s first official act as world megastars. Accordingly, they seem to be doing exactly what you’d expect. They’ve made a rockumentary film and accompanied it with a sprawling double album, containing live and studio tracks, recorded in half a dozen places, with lots of big-name guest stars. As such, you’d expect this record to be a consolidation of the Joshua Trea-style rock ‘n’ reverb, or perhaps a summing-up to a career, as the Springsteen live album was, Instead, U2 is moving . forward, searching for a - looser, fresher style.

Obsessed with America on them. Like The Unforgettable Fire, this is a transitional album, but this time they’re heading in the right direction. The result is the band’s most exciting, most vibrant, least pompous effort since War. And it’s also unquestionably the major ‘release of 1988. Like The Joshua Tree, this album is obsessed with America, the promised land. This time, though, the band is looking to rock heroes of the past for inspiration. Photos of Elvis Presley and Billie Holiday decorate the inner sleeve. Several songs were recorded in Memphis’ Sun Studios, the birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll, and the Memphis Horns appear on one track. Van Dyke Parks, the legendary California eccentric, contributes string arrangements to AJJ I Want is You (which also features Tom Petty’s keyboardist, Benmont Tenth). The live Bullet, the Blue Sky is introduced by the Hendrix rendition of The StclrSpangled Banner, and the band pays further tribute by covering the Hendrix/Dylan chestnut AlI

But even the more serious songs - God Part II, Van Dieman’s Land, Hawkmoon 269 seem lighter, fresher, because of the renewed vigor of the band’s musical appreach. Even Bono’s inevitable pomposity seems somehow appropriate. For instance, Bono’s of SiIver and Gold theid anthem that the Sun City pro-

While Goldman’s sleazy attack has Lennon rolling in his grave, the ex-Beatles needs all the support from the living that he can get. But guest shots and good intentions aren’t what make Rattle ,and Hum the record it is. I’m happy to report that Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, the men who turned “atmospheric” into a dirty word,. contribute to only one song on this record. Production credits fall instead to Jimmy Iovine, who is much more suited , to the band. UZ have loosen&d up too, and actually seem to.be having a good time.

The band also tries a few experiments that are just as adventurous as the Unforgettable Fire guitar noises. Bono is testing his voice’s limits more (on Bullet the BJue Sky, he’s almost unrecognizable) and sounds a little wilder here than on past efforts. As mentioned, the Memphis Horns grace the Billie Holiday tribute, Angel of HayJem, turning it into the most soulful thing U2s ever done.

band of the 8Os, Bono and the boys (like Reagan and his pals), can, in effect, do no wrong, right? Wrong. Keeping in mind that there must have been a cornucopia of live tracks to choose from to help compose RnH, the final product is more a mutation of UZ attitude than a cohesive project. What we have here, speaking in terms of raw materials, is just over 40 minutes of new studio work, and a half an hour of live stuff. The playlist intertwines the live and studio work together, hopping annoyingly in and out of atmospheres. According to the press release this is because the record is supposed to cross-promote the coming film of the same name and vice versa (apparently the film soundtrack is different from the record, but does overlap). Now cross-promotion might sound like a gem of an idea to U2’s accountants, but the record suffers, losing itself in an identity crisis. Side one opens at a concert in Colorado with Bono proclaiming, “This is a song Charles Ma son stole from the Beatles, an%

Well here we are, side two all live and mostly bad. If Skelter was OK, then AI1 Along The Watchtower is, apart from being a boring choice of a cover, still on1 OK. The gospel version of I Sti 7k Haven? Found What, I’m Looking For sounded to me like a great concept, and is interesting in a sort of archival way, but after two listens it’s downright annoying. Silver And Gold, the song originally written for the Sun City album is this side’s only saving grace, as it is followed by the iamest version of Pride you could ever hope to hear, So, apart from a reasonable Bullet The Blue Sky on the second record, that’s it for the live content.

Luve- Rescue Me, B,B, King on When Love Comes To Town (Magnificent], and Brian Eno on Heartland - a track that realizes the unfulfilled atmospherics on The Unforgettable Fire. Whereas The Joshua Tree stood as testimony to America’s dark beauty, these tracks ‘catch U2 during lighter, happier moments. Are businessmen drinking their wine? You bet, but Bono, Adam, Larry, and the Edge are gorging themselves as well. America does funny things to a band-so does success. Last stop, side four. There is a welcome non-anthem God Part II, in which Bono gets impressive lyrically and makes UZ’s first vinyl muscle-flex, condemning Goldbergs scandalous book on John Lennon (to whom the track is dedicated). The aforementioned live Bullet inexplicably follows, sitting between studio tracks, wishing it had some other live tracks to play with. The album closes with AlI I Want Is You. With some nice strings and some calm moments, UZ wind up another period of their history. In 23 years, when these guys are working on their 30th album, middle aged and geezer fans will remember Rittle And Hum for the studio work, Now go’get in line for the film. ‘cheese”’ at an Osmond family reunion. A combination of rawness and sheen reminiscent of Go Four 3, not to mention some nice vocal twists and cooking guitar fills, puts why Should Lovers Die into the same category, while Made ‘a Happy slams together a chugging beat, plaintive harmonicas, and an earful of unrestrained harmonizing. So why not a four or five gun rating? Sorry guys, but you lose points for being just a little too polite and artsie on Silence Whispers and Introduction To Why-Should Lovers Die; The Northern Pikes do a far better job of embarrassing themselves with the sensitive rock star routine.

RECORD REVIEWS,
by John Ryan Imprint staff This album is not very good. It’s a pretty boring “speed metal” recording that after the first song or so fades into a formless grey mass with few identifying features and no redeeming qualities. Aside from their lack of musical talent, Slayer are a bunch of Satanic Nazis. All well and good; if they can come up with the goods then they can be what they want, But Slayer commit the unpardonable sin of being boring as well as tasteless. Their shock
l w 8 by Chrirr Wodskou Imprint staff Is U2’s claim to the throne of Irish pop being contested by Hothouse Flowers? Not a chance - That Petrol Emotion are the best thing to waft this way from the Emerald Isle since Van Morrison. Matter of fact, since I haven’t gone out on a limb and overstepped any normal bounds of hyperbole for a while, I will climb upon my soapbox and loudly proclaim, “Oyez, oyez, the greatest band in the British Isles is That Petrol Emotion!” The band with the aptest name in the biz is back with the usual blend of noisy pop and gentle, melodic ballads that marked their first two albums Manic Pop
Thrill and Bebble, but without the sometimes grating experiments of its predecessors. In the process, End Of The Millenium Psychosis Blues is flavoured with some of TPE’s best lyrics and melodies to date, Only a band like TPE could pull this album off, one moment raving up with a chaotic joyousness, and then doing an about-face as masters of understatement and the most irresistible of hooks; only a singer like Steve Mack can sing a ballad without sounding sappy and can sing a roaring pop anthem without sounding pompous. Sooner or Later hits upon the clanking, stuttering hypnobeat that made Big Decision a dance floor hit and also throws in a grungy guitar lick that sounds like it could have been nicked from MC5. Candy Love Satellite offers up more of thei,r addictively jarring, clattering pop, the musical equivalent ‘to a big, old fire engine, bells clanging, careening and lurching around corners. A Wedding Present-ish guitarfrenzy underlies the tenderest of ballads sweetened by the harmonies and Mack’s singing on

and abortion (they’re anti) in a futile attempt to break up the monotony. Bad, bad, bad. This album would be pretty offensive if Slayer weren’t such adolescent dickheads. But like I said before, there’s nothing wrong with being offensive or sick if you’re entertaining. It’s just that you seem twice as stupid when you’re tasteless and boring.
Every Little Bit, while Cellophane is a gorgeous, bittersweet jaunt with a curiously English flavour carried by accordion and strummed acoustics, Other heartstring-tugging highlights include The Price Of My Soul, a haunting condemnation of capitalist greed, and The Bottom Line, the best thing The Kane Gang (early Kane Gang, that is] never recorded, a positively beautiful and exotic song. And Here It Is... Take It! is absolutely stunning; an awesomely tough dance groove right out of the Sly Stone/Larry Graham funk school, a brash horn section and Mack’s intense singing of socialist ‘rhetoric make this the most compelling tail-shaker in aeons. Tension is - what’s the point of carrying this any further? There are five more songs and they’re all brilliant. End Of The Millenium Psychosie Blues is forty minutes of aural magic and only Public Enemy’s It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back beats it in the Best of 1988 sweeps.

Are we seeing the Renaissance of the ancient Calrec Ambisonic microphone? That relic required the band to be arranged around the microphone and the music was recorded live to tape; the locational arrangement and the interplay of the band members provided ,the subtleties of the sound, not the producer twiddling dials, Ect. wl Trains, Garden Bower’s second long player, uses this technology and the liner notes include an interesting article on ,this topic written by the producer of the Cowboy Junkies brilliant The Trinity Session., a project released earlier this year which used the same technique. Ect. w/ Trains, in using this down to earth method, has avery interesting sound: a sound removed from the over-produced Top 40 crap and yet equally iemoved from the average indie band live to tape production. The sound is, to quote a heaven-sent cliche, both rich and full, and still contains that endearing Garden Bower style of dense arrangement and guitars that sound layered+ but aren’t; Gord Bolan’s guitar work appears deceptively complex. As a sophomore album, it should be looked at in relation to the past effort. And in that, one album side is redundati, but the second side is great. Side one sounds too much like the firs-t album; a good thing if you do not own it, but I do and I did not like the back tracking. Thus, th’ere really is no use discussing it. Side two, though, isk breathtaking and it includes a song that I would put up for song of the year honours without hesitation or fear of charges of sentimentality: 18 Bricker. Where side one mimics, side two innovates; it expl,ores and goes beyond the musical themes of those influential giints, the Velvet Underground. The music goes on and on, leading to climaxes, and the path to there wanders and twists and turns marvelously. The title of the album and the train picture on the cover provide the perfect imagery for a band that knows where it wants its music to go but on its own time. and on its own terms.
Like their fellow Torontonians The Cowboy Junkies, National Velvet walked away from this summer’s New Music Seminar in New York with a major-label record deal. By then, the band had already released this LP on their own Intrepid Records. There are few Toronto indie bands (the Junkies and The Razorbacks, maybe] more deserving of international attention than NV. National Velvet is a record that promises greatness (or at least real-goodness) for this fourspme.
Before I begin any review of the actual record itself, I would like to point out that a portion of its proceeds go to Amnesty International.

done your part to advance freedom and human rights in the world today. Now then, since reviewing Bruce Springsteen falls somewhere along the lines of reviewing God (in the minds of many), it is hard to get very critical about his music, However, I wince as I tell you that Bruce has offered here a basically disposable live EP. Tougher Than The Rest is a catchy and brooding piece that most people have already heard or seen, considering its untouchable niche in the radio* and Muchmusic playlists. Be True is entirely forgettable (I listened to it about six times and still haven’t a definite impression from it). Chimes of Freedom is the socially-conscious song on the EP,

The opening cut, Flesh Under Skin, is the one that’s been getting the most airplay. Not surprising’ since it neatly sums up -the band’s attack: buzzsaw guitar, somewhat spooky lyrics,
and electrifying vocals from Maria Del Mar. In fact, the vocals are the most consistently distinctive feature of the record. Del Mar’s vocal acrobatics {occasionally reminiscent of Sugarcube Bjork) are sometimes grating but never less than interesting. It’s a voice you’d expect to find attached to somebody who rides a broom and hates little dogs named Toto.

ate, imagistic songwriting. Though their stated intention at the outset of the group was to combine the poetics of Patti Smith with the pop of The Mankees, they have surpassed both. Their pop sensibility is far more complex and satisfying than Last Train To Clarksville, while their poetics have been polished and perfected while Patti Smith’s have just grown old. Grant McLennan and Robert Forster examine love and loss, joy and grief with stunningly evocative, expressive imagery and endlessly fascinating language. So, despite the complex literary references which inhabit the Go-Betweens’ wordscapes, their songs are never cold or over-intellectual - they’re just the opposite.

Just as the word “funk” forms the core of their name, the on-the-one,badself funk of ames Browq is the flesh and b ones upon which their musical body is built.

goodgroove. Their unselfish musicianship allows the other three members to foray deep into Hendrixian guitar self-indulgence, or free jazz horn solos. The old version of Defunkt, prior to Jde Bowie’s kicking of his heroin addiction, operated on combative basis with each musician, in best jazz style, trying to one-up the others with playing more outrageous than the next. Now the individual lines of each musician intersect and cross in patterns of harmony rather than the tangled lines of conflict of earlier Defunkt. Their musical palette has expanded to include found voices [America), grinding %ard-rock guitars, and real f;.;;nies instead of group Tho&h

All you ever wanted to know--about barrels by Renate Sander-Regiar Imprint staff If I said the word “cooper,” what would jump into your mind? An image of Gary Cooper, the actor? A picture of somebody building a chicken coop? You might even ask me if maybe I had meant to say “copper.” But no, I said “cooper,” and I’ll bet that 99 percent of you would not have imagined a man putting together pieces of wood to make a barrel. I certainlv wouldn’t have thought of that: But now I know whai a cooper is, thanks to the Seagram Museum’s new exhibition “The Cooper and the Cellarman” (Ott, 4, 1988 to Jan, 29, 1989). A cooper is a person who makes or repairs barrels, casks, etc. The work is demanding and exacting, especially in “wet cooperage”: the construction of barrels to hold liquids. Today, most barrels are made by machin& and most coopers are, for all intents and purposes, repairmen. But a few “Master Coopers” still exist, and they are proud of their craft. The Seagram Museum has put together a unique and informative exhibition which traces cooperage through its history, materials, methods, products and measurement, to its presence in the arts.
Today we uBe barrelsrchiefly for the maturing of alcoholic spirits. For this purpose oak is the most suitable wood. It is hard-wearing, tight-grained and resistant to wood-boring insects and rot. It doesn’t break easily when bent, and it resists Gracking. Yet it is porous enough tolet spirits breathe and maturate. Tannins and other substances extracted from the woodgive the alcohol matured in a barrel a distinct flavour.
The first wooden storage containers were made around 8,000 to 5,000 BC, from hollowed-out tree trunks. Bronze tools brought more precision to the craft around 3,000 BC. ( ust a few more dates, if you wi I 1 be patient with me!] Between 900 and 800 BC, barrels were first used for transporting goods, and for many centuries thereafter they were the most important means of packaging, shipping and storing wares from sugar and nails to water and whiskey.
The construction of a barrel is no easy task.

Bronzing in the snow Tan is quite different from other movies. It is narrated from the perspective .of Edith, a teacher who is attempting to write and edit a book based on letters sent to her from her friend Maryse, who is played by Jackie Burroughs, one of the movie’s five directors. Maryse, facing a middle life crisis, flees to Mexico, where she engages in lots of free sex and pot smoking, all the while trying to make sense of her loneliness and her need to be loved.

ryse, Burroughs actually narrates the letters which Edith is reading, using her face and body to express the emotion and pain which Edith can only experience in words. Thus, we the audience experience a new dimension of desolation heretofore uncaptured on film. Burroughs, who is on the screen for about 99 and 4~100 of the movie, delivers the performance of a lifetime. This is Canadian cinema at its best. Miss it not.

Reveen’s mental meltdown by the Pig Posse
nant from Love Boat star Lauren Tewes’ wardrobe,
We arrived at the Center a bit early so we went into the adjacent K-W art gallery. What a hoot! Some of the so called “paintings” looked like someone’s dog puked on some canvases. The gift shop was another eye-opener: Zach wanted a salt and pepper shaker set for his mom’s birthday, but those prices were incredible. “Holy shit, $125 for this pepper mill! It’s made out of iron ore slag! Forget it, man.” “Hey, why don’t you rent some art for your mom?” “Boss concept dude. Look at that, isn’t it Rembrandt’s Mona LiSt0” “Yeah but can you spare $40 semolians just for your old lady to look at some hag with a constipated expression for. a month?” “Good point, she can look at my sister for’nothing and she’s in 3D, like.” Having decided to forgo the art, we headed-over to the theatre and checked into our seats. “Move your feet! I’ve already stomped four people,” some
Then Kathy came on stage; cowabunga, we knew then and there this was going to be worthwhile. Reveen then did some parlour trick that any Reach for the ;fp;p finalist could have pulled To the strains of the Theme, Reveen Im’possi Mist
No humiliation whatsoever promised that no one he put into the superconscioua state would be humiliated, Yeah, tight. He then solicited volunteers from the audience to be put in the superconsciour state. At first we got really excited, there were some really boss trollops going up onstage. But they were all too stupid to be suprrcomcious candidates: it seems that only plugs, .schmos and losers are vulnerable to the charms of Reveen. I guess he was right about the humiliation, it’d be hard to make this crew look any more foolish. Reveen made them realize their euperconscious potential by inducing them to dance like damaged children in an abattoir, and scream like the damned on Judgment Day. Then the show was over. All in all, a tuff time was had by everyone.

by Glenn Hauer Imprint staff In a must win situation, the Waterloo Warriors Rugby Club defeated the previously unbeaten Trent University Excalibur 14-6 on Saturday, October 8. The Rugby Warriors are now 5-0 with two games left; games that must be won as well to ensure a 1st place finish (and a playoff spot) in the OUAA’s 2nd Division. Trent now holds second place at 4-1 with the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks on their heels at 3-2. Toronto, RMC, and Brock are out of contention and are destined to remain in Division II. The Junior Varsity Warriors also won their game, easily defeating the inexperienced Trent 2nd side 20-O. The Excalibur visited Waterloo with nothing to lose; Waterloo had everything to lose, Trent University has never had a strong side play in the OUAA and this year was their only chance to creep up into Division I as they are losing many players to graduation. The Warriors, always a dominant force in the OUAA, are looking to regain their position in Division I and show everyone they deserve to stay there. They would like nothing better than to enter Division I next year as the defending OUAA champions, a feat well within their reach. MacMaster is the major stumbling block; they are 5-O against a very tough group of teams including Queens, York, and Guelph. However, to win Division II, Waterloo must not forget or take lightly Laurier and Toronto in their last two matches. In the first half, Waterloo took a 6-nil lead on two penalty goals by inside center Hayden Relgrave. Defensively, the Warriors played an intense half, not allowing Trent to get anythirig going at all. There were many scoring opportunities that just weren’t finished off; Waterloo’s players still have a tendency to get excited when they get within the opposing side’s 22 metre line.
The vaunted Trent forwards, rumoured to be the team’s strength, were not all they were cracked up to be. Waterloo’s forwards dominated every phase of forward play: strums, lineouts, rucks, and mauls. Even though they were up only 6-O at the half, Waterloo knew they had Trent in a deep hole. Perhaps there was a letdown at this point...? Five minutes into the second half, the Excalibur had knott.ed the game on two quick penalty goals. This was a make or break situation for the Warriors; would they lose control of themselves or would they buckle down and keep playing hard? The pressure was now oti the Warriors: the Excalibur realized they could perhaps take Waterloo. At this point, as the forwards gathered together for the kickoff, prop Jim Closs provided a little motivation for the Warrior Side by yelling out, “It’s not penalty kicks that are going to win this game, it’s a try!” The tone for the rest of the game was set on this kickoff. Ha den Belgrave provided a nice hig x kick into Trent’s forwards, As their tight-head prop (a rather heavy lad] caught the ball, he was promptIy buried by Closs and lock forward Glenn Hauer. The ball popped out of bounds for a Waterloo lineout; the adrenaline was flowing, everybody started to have fun, and Trent faced the slow cooker. Five minutes later, the Warriors drove into a ruck at Trent’s 22 metre line, roviding the ball for strum-ha1 P Rod Duncan. The ball was swung out into the backs, finally getting into the hands of winger Mark Hogg who had 15 clear metres to the endgoal. Hogg cut inside and ended up getting hit very hard. Somehow he managed to pass the ball to prop Mark Rankin who showed “amazing determination” moving’across the field from the ruck. Rankin was tackled five metres out and popped the ball to center Rob Veizer in support. Veizer ran uncontested into the

end-goal for the first try of the game. Waterloo 10, Trent 6. Still too close for comfort but a lead nonet heless. I The remainder of the match was played predominantly in Trent’s half of the field; relentless pressure by Waterloo forced many kicks into touch by the EXcalibur for Waterloo lineouts. Second row forwards Mac Clayton and Glenn Hauer, No. 8 Dave’ Stone, and CIOSS at the front of the line completely dominated lineout play, and allowed the ball to be moved into the backs for runs right back toward the Excalibur endgoal. With 20 minutes remaining, winger Paul Overbaugh broke through on a run in the backs from the 50 metre line; he was finally hauled down, at the Excalibur’s 22-metre line. The ball ended up rolling into touch for a Trent lineout. On a play in which the Excalibur forwards must have been sleeping, Trent’s hooker threw long and right into the hands of flanker Blair Falconer. Falconer

broke in behind their forwards with three other Warrior forwards on a d-on-1 against Trent’s offside winger. The ball was passed beautifully to Damien Byrnes, Waterloo’s Aussie import, as Falconer was tackled by the winger. Byrnes, a blind side flanker, ran into the endgoal for an easy try. Waterloo 14, Trent 6. Waterloo is now thinking about the playoffs and Division I. Queens, York, and Guelph hold identical 3-2 records behind the high-flying MacMaster Marauders. If the playoffs were held as the st,andings sit now, the Warriors would face MacMaster in the first semi-final and Queens would play York in the other, In all probability, and barring any disaster in Waterloo, this is the way it will be at the end of the season. MacMaster, coached by Waterloo alumni Phil White and Tony Stea, will definitely be up for a game against the Warriors. In order for Waterloo to defeat‘ such a strong side, they must keep up _their brawny defensive _
ONE
play and come up with a flawless offensive game. It is interesting to note that not one team has scored a try against Waterloo this year. If this record is- kept, the Warriors have as good a chance as anyone else, including MacMaster, of taking the OUAA championship. The Warriors do not have any regular season games until Wednesday, October 19 against Laurier and then against the Toronto Blues on Saturday, October 22 in their final match. Tomorrow, starting at 9:OO a.m. on Columbia Field, the Warriors are hosting a 12-team seven-aside Oktoberfest Tournament. Teams form London, Toronto, Brantford, Cambridge, as well as Laurier and Waterloo alumni will be competing. When this is all over, Labatt’s will be hosting all of the players in their hospitality tent at the brewery on King Street. If anyone out there wants to see some exciting seven-a-side rugby and what a real rugby party is all about, come on out tomorrow-to Columbia Field.
Goal happy Warriors take silver Peter Dedes Imprint etaff The Waterloo Pond Warriors can obviously score goals. In six games of exhibition play, UW has struck for an incredible 44 goals, The 24 they tallied over the weekend’s Bauer-Warrior tourney was only good enough for the silver. Coach Don McKee and his staff have finalized the Warrior roster. “We’re carrying two or three extra bodies in case we made any mistakes.”
McKee will likely have reason to try out his two or three extra bodies with the disorderly defense that his. blueliners demonstrated last weekend. In one five-minute stretch there were six two-on-one breaks.

Oh no; not again!
Nightmare on Seagram’s Drive - Part 28 by Mike McGraw Imprint staff The chances of the Waterloo Warriors winning a football game are beginning to look as slim as the odds of finding Elvis alive. Saturday at Seagram’s Stadium, Waterloo lost its fifth straight of 1988 and 28th dating back to 1984 is a pathetic 21-7 decision to the McMaster Marauders. Mac, hardly a division powerhouse, improved its record to 2-3. Oh yeah, the Warriors have a firm hold on eighth place in the OUAA. As the Warriors celebrate the fourth anniversary of their last victory (October 121, frustration is growing in the UW camp. Head coach Chuck McMann is among the perturbed. “We had a good week at practice. But I don’t know if the players think they can win,” said McMann. “I was a little upset after today’s game - some of the guys were joking around even though we lost. We have to get into the frame of mind that we go out to practice to correct mistakes and get better. Right now, we’re not even doing the basics.” Another slothful offensive performance deflated any wild dreams of a Waterloo victory. For the first time this season, McMann started Mike Wright at quarterback in place of Brian Lenart. But Wright, dazzling in UW’s 20-19 heartbreaking loss to York, made certain that McMann’s experiment was a failure. Wright completed just 14 of 30 passes for a meagre 116 yards, leading an offence that managed to gain just 164 total yards and 10 first downs. “We should have completed a lot more passes,” admitted McMann. “But Mike made some bad throws and some bad reads. It wasn’t just him; in the last minute we told a receiver to get out of bounds to stop the clock, but he didn’t listen.” How bad was Waterloo’s offence? Until a touchdown drive in the game’s final minute, the Warriors had made it no further than the Marauders 38-yard line. The lone shimmering light offensively was the gritty effort by halfback Orville Beckford. Making amends for two costly fumbles last week, Beckford was a workhorse, carrying the ball 11 times for 47 yards. He bowled in from the five with 13 seconds remaining in the game to give Waterloo its second offensive touchdown of the season.
Veteran fullback Sam Loucks emerged as an unlikely hero for the Marauders - normally he would have spent most of the day on the sidelines. But on the second play of the game, Mac’s star tailback, John Sutton was pummelled by Waterloo’s Larry Vaughn, giving Loucks his shot in the limelite. Sutton, Canada’s third ldading rusher, left the game complaining of neck pains. Loucks caught a pass for one touchdown, rashed for another and topped it all off by passing for a third. This jack-of-all trades rushed for 60 yards on 11 carries and hauled in four passes for 20 yards. The Thanksgiving weekend crowd resembled the kind present for last year’s NFL replacement games - sparse. They watched a yawner of a first quarter with the Marauders offence plagued by penalties (12 infractions for 118 yards on the afternoon), and the Warriors offence simply nonexistent. Late in the opening frame, the Marauders snapped out of their coma, Starting pivot Kevin Hclland hit John Monaco on a 24yard pass, then fired a 39-pard rocket to speedster Jamie W&ten, putting Mac on UW’s 19 yard line. As the first quarter ticked away, Holland found Loucks alone in a five-acre piece of land for a Is-yard touchdown. Rob De Luca nailed the convera_ion to put McMaster ahead, 7-O. While the Warriors coughed and sputtered, the Marauders drove to Waterloo’s 24-yard line. A costly penalty gave Mac first and 20 at the 39 - but, Waterloo came to the rescue. Five Warriors gangtackled Claudio Silvestri and were flagged for piling on. The.infraction moved Mac back to the 24. On the very next play, Holland lateralled to Loucks, who hit a wide-open Wooten scampering into the endzone unmolested for a 13-O lead. Waterloo’s ‘Richard Chen came screaming through the line to block De Luca’s point after attempt. Late in the half, it was time for another installment of the Larry Vaughn kick return show. This time, there was no happy ending. McMaster lined up for a 4& yard field goal attempt after a drive stalled on UW’,s 32. However, De Luca”s kick sailed wide into Vaughn’s awaiting arms. From ,five yards deep in the end zone, Vaughn broke numerous tackles and straightarmed De Luca on his way to a 115-yard yard touchdown romp, One problem - as he ran, a chorus of

orange flags covered the turf in front of the UW bench. The Warriors were nailed for clipping, wiping out Vaughn’s effort. Such is life when you play for the Waterloo Warriors. “You could say there’s a clip on every play,” commented McMann. “No coach in his right mind would ever tell his players to clip. But the referees have to call them or guys are going to be injured.”
McMaster a 19-O bulge. The Marauders successfully completed a two-point conversion attempt, but like many of their plays, it was called back on a penalty. De Luca booted the conversion to give McMaster a 20-O lead, He later completed Mac’s -scoring with a howitzer of a punt into the UW end zone that Dave Ropret downed for a single point.
The play was Vaughn’s third spectacular runback of a missed field goal attempt this season. He returned one 65 yards against Laurier in the pre-season, and brought back another 103 yards at Guelph. The scoreless third quarter might go down as one of the most lethargic displays in grid iron history. Waterloo’s Chen provided the only hi-lite with a diving interception of a Holland pass. Early in the final quarter, the Marauders stormed deep into Waterloo territory. Loucks played quarterback again, hitting Wooten with a 27-yard pass to the Warriors’ one-yard line. Loucks then completed his masterpiece, grinding into the end zone on the next play, giving
It took them 59 minutes to get rolling, but the Warriors finally managed to orchestrate a scoring drive.

After 59 minutes of floundering, Wright miraculously awoke, completing four consecutive passes - five yards to Gene Chartier, and. tosses of two, 12 and 15 yards to Ropret. From the McMaster five yard line, Beckford stormed in for the major. Peter Tchir nailed the convert to make it 21-7. In terms of total offence, the Marauders piled up 382 yards. Starting pivot Holland, who eventually gave way to backup Mike Luyks, completed 17 of 25

passes for 167 yards. The elusive Wooten grabbed four passes for 105 yards. For perhaps the first time this season, McMann was displeased with his squad’s defensive play. “We gave them some pretty easy points today. On that sweep play (Loucks’ second quarter touchdown pass), we were in a deep zone - we never should have been in that defence.” In this so-called revitalization season, the Warriors are running out of opportunities to snap their 28-game futility streak. Tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon’s clash with the Laurier Golden Hawks can’t realistically be viewed as one of these chances. The powerhouse Hawks are 41, and tied for second with the Guelph Gryphons. As the division elite scramble for playoff positions, this is,a big game for the Hawks, For McMann, it means playing his alma mater, “I’m looking forward to it. It’s always a tough game when you play Laurier - this one is an important one for them to win. I think it will be a real tough hitt ing game.” Kickoff time is 1 p.m. at Seagram’s Stadium,

Can. McCrae silence the critics again? by Mike McGraw Imprint staff Is Don McCrae due for a bad season? Will the Waterloo Warriors basketball coach finally put a subpar product on the hardwood? Don’t bet on it. After four consecutive trips to the CIALJ championships in Halifax, the 1086-87 season was a rude awakening for Warrior basketball faithful. Posting a mediocre 7-5 regular season record, Waterloo was bounced in opening round playoff action. It seemed they could not cope with loss of two all-Canadians - legend Peter Savich, and 7’0” Randy Norris. So when 1987-88 rolled around, the skeptics hovered above the Warrior camp like vultures. With all-Canadian Paul Boyce tucked away on UW’s wall of fame, certainly McCrae was in for a taste of humble pie. After a ghastly 7-8 pre-season, the cynics (myself included) claimed victory, McCrae fooled us all. Once they hit the new year and the regular season, the Warriors metamorphisized into a championship team. Led by a solid core of veterans and some energetic role players, Waterloo stormed to a 10-2 record, good for first place in the OUAA West and the number four ranking in Canada. The Western Mustangs brought the dream season to an abrupt halt one bitter March afternoon in the division title game, In 1988-89, McCrae will have to pull out all the coping mechanisms to deal with the latest set of departures. Three of last year’s starters
have hung up their Reeboks all-Canadian Rob Froese, Jamie McNeil1 and Jerry Nolfi. The, gritty 6’4” Froese was Waterloo’s instant offence; McNeill, at 6’9” was a one-man front court, and the 5’10” cannonball Nolfi was the team’s spunky court general. Can McCrae sculpt another contender out of what’s left? “I don’t know where we are with this team,” admits McCrae, “I’m reminded of last year - we had a few good freshmen and some good veterans, but we struggled until Christmas and then we made some dramatic changes, This is not the planned process, but the same result might occur.” “But I like this team,” he went on to confess. “We’ve got all kinds of ingredients - size, quick perimeter guys, good shooters and good competitors.” McCrae’s greatest challenge will be dealing with a bench stacked with inexperience. Of the 15 players on his roster, three are freshmen’ six are sophomores and two are juniors. “We’re missing game experience’ and the experience of a full university season with all its ups and downs. These two defects are kind of scary.” “Our line-up has potential, but it’s all unrealized potential. It’s going to be an adventure’ and if the boys look at it this way, we might go somewhere.” The reins of team leadership will rest in the able hands of fifth year sharpshooting guard, Tom Schneider. Plagued by gimpy knees the last two season, the 6'0" wing man has shown heroic flashes whenever he’s been able to play. “Tom’s going to be a big refer-
ence point on this team,” comments McCrae. “He might have been one of the league’s top players in the last few years, but he never got to satisfy this due to injury. Now, he’s hungry.” ’ McCrae isn’t overly concerned about Schneider’s often wobbly knees. “His knees are healthy, but it’s a chronic problem and needs to be dealt with on a daily basis.” Joining Schneider at the shooting guard position is 6%” sophomore Don Meace who showed vast improvement in the latter stages of his rookie campaign. Also returning is the often invincible, often invisible John Bilawey. In his fourth season, the athletic 8’4” Bilawey (a former Toronto Blue Jays pitching product) will be used as off guard, small forw,ard and power forward. McCrae admitsBilawey’s game-may suffer by this kaleidoscope of roles. “It’s going to be a tough task, but we need his versatility.” 8’3” rookie Andy Zeinchuk, a K-W all-star at Cameron Heights last season, will also play at small forward. He’ll be joined by 6’2” frosh lason Poag, a K-W allstar at Bluevale, and third year forward John Vincic, a 6’5” Hamilton native plagued by a toe injury last season. Once again, McCrae’s team is stacked at point guard - only this time, the faces are much younger. Sophomores Chris Troyak and Peter Sawchuk will handle the quarterbacking chores after impressive rookie seasons. The 6’2” Troyak is a bona fide scorer ‘I

the regular season - he’s not eligible until January. Regular assistant coach Mike Kilpatrick will be joining the team at the end of this month. Until then, St. Jerome’s coach Tom Keiswetter will take his place. The retired Froese, finishing up his second honours degree, will also assist McCrae with coaching. I Last season, McCrae began the season intent on establishing the inside game as his team’s main strategy. This season, he’s being more cautious.
from page 26
whiie Sawchuk is more known for his dribbling skills and endless adrenaline. “I’m sure they can handle the position but they have limited exposure at the university level,” comments McCrae. McCrae has also added 5’11” freshman point guard, Rob Baird, from Cambridge who played on Ontario’s provincial team. The front line is dominated by a host of familiar, but little-used faces. Third year players, 6’8” Pat Telford and 6%” John Clark head the list. Both have seen limited court time in their first two seasons at UW. 6’9” sophomore Dave Rosebush returns along with fourth year forward, 6’5” Jeremy Moore. The sleek Moore was a pleasant surprise in 198788, playing like a man twice his size. “All these players have experience, but their seasonal play has been limited. There are a lot of question marks.” In an attempt to beef up what has often been a flimsy front court, McCrae has added two king-size players via transfers. From the University of Winnipeg, McCrae nabbed Lance Lockhart, who stands at 6’4” and 210 Ibs. Lockhart, who has been out of action for a year, hails from Sioux Lookout and played at St. Jerome’s, McCrae’s biggest recruiting bonus is the acquisition of 6%” 235 lbs, Ron Braley. A transfer from Brock, Braley has been out of university action for two years. Unfortunately, McCrae won’t get to use this bruiser until I
“After watching the U.S. men’s Olympic team put all its eggs into one style’of play, you can see how dangerous it is to focus on one area of the game. The game demands versatility we have the ingredients; the big task will be getting the right people on the floor.” Much like the last two seasons, the Warriors camp already resembles a M.A.S.H. unit. Moore has-a slight cartilage tear in his knee and hasn’t practiced yet, while Rosebush is suffering from severe achilles tendonitis and Zinchuk has a pull in his rib cage. Braley, who is working out until he is eligible, is attempting to recover from a severe ankle sprain. “Our hopes of getting organized quickly have been put on the backburner due to these injuries .” The first chance to catch a glimpse of McCrae’s latest work is tonight (Friday) at the PAC when the Warriors face the K-W Titans, a powerful provincial men’s team. This annual opening exhibition game gets under way at 8 p.m.

Ryerson debacle F the sequel On the weekend of October I & 2 the Warrior soccer team sojourned to the east to play McMaster and Ryerson. With all the forces of history against them, the Warriors produced their worst effort to date draw with the “mighty” Rams of Ryerson. To make things worse it was just the kind caress of lady luck that allowed the Warriors to escape Etobicoke Centennial Stadium with a point. The team did not get going against the opposition and were constantly under pressure from Ryerson in the second half. The Warriors get a chance to avenge this blight on their glorious tradition on october 29. On the Sunday following the debacle the Warriors journeyed to Mac+ After playing a close first half which ended UP l-l the Warriors succumbed to the memories of the previous day. Three unanswered goals in the second half completed a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of the Marauders. The Warriors lone goal was scored by star forward, roekie sensation and possible future Rhodes Scholar Wilf Grassau. On Wednesday the October 5, the Warriors hosted the last place Brock Badgers, The Badgers opened the scoring in the 1st half when a free kick floated its way into the net, With the numbing fear of an impending debacle trilogy added to the inspirational play of Nazir Sacoor, probably the most skillful player Waterloo has had in recent memory, driving them on, the Warriors were not ‘to be de-
O-O
nied. Sacoor rammed home the equalizer with about ten minutes to go and then was brought down in the Mac penalty area inside the last five minutes. Glenn Clarkson was brought forward to take the penalty shot. Steady and cool as always he slotted home the winner. The Warriors’ record stands at 2
wins, 3 losses and 3 ties good for 7 points and fifth place. The Warriors play at home this weekend (Oct. 15 & 16). Saturday the team plays Laurier and Sunday they play Guelph. Both games are I:00 starts at the lovely and picturesque Columbia playing fields.
Field hockey win A win to g% with the Athena field hockey team’s first two league losses improves their record to 1-2. Last Wednesday, Waterloo defeated Guelph 3-l on Gryphon
turf.
It
was
a
solid
ef-
fort by everyone and avenged an earlier Guelph win of 3-6. Janet MacPherson, a second year student, had- the hat trick, gutting good passes from everyone. “The Guelph team is .
loaded with freshmen and then have two outstanding performers. Trying to keep the ball out of their hands was our strategy - it worked.” The Athenas have a tough weekend facing Western and Toronto at Western on Saturday. “The league will begin to sort itself out after this weekend and then we’ll know what needs to be done!”

Ernst grabs another
silver
Warriors scamper to second at Guelph by Kevin Shoom Imprint staff The University of Waterloo continued its string of top-notch cross-country results at the University of Guelph on October I. Led by Paul Ernst’s second-place finish, the Warriors beat everybody but Western for the second week in a row. The Athenas were seventh. The meet, held on the cow pastures of Guelph, was a dry-run for the October 29 OUAAKL WIAA championships. Judging from the organization of the race, U Moo needs the practice. Poor terrain, bad marshalling, and finish-line confusion plagued
the event. One incident nearly led to disaster. The leading twenty runners in the men’s race took a wrong turn at an unmarshalled corner and were only bpought back on course by the shouts 06 teammates in the following pack. No mistakes by the race organizers were ‘about to sidetrack Paul Ernst, however. Following his race plan to perfection, Ernst ran down the field over the second of the two 5.2 km loops to take the silver. The winner, Ron Becht, is ineligible to race at ‘the OUAA championships. Captain Chris Rogers, meanwhile, followed the same strategy in com-
ing from behind and placing 15th. Waterloo’s three other scorers were tightly bunched; Al Faulds, Shamir Jamal, and Peter Self were 24th, 26th, and 26th respectively. Jamal’s finish in particular was a pleasant surprise, as he was Waterloo’s ninth man the week before, His outstanding run was especially welcome after no. 2 Scott McLellan dropped out of contention with the wrong turn earlier in the race. Continuing the battle for places on the OUAA team, Sean McGuiness ran well through the middle of the race and held off Kevin Shoom as they placeddgth
and 50th. John Gonos, in 62nd, was two seconds and two places up on Dale Lapham, while Tom DeKay took the top Warrior rookie spot in 6gth. Pat MacDonell, 83rd, Paul Tremblay, lzoth, and Pierre Legault, 123rd, led the rest of the rookies; Dave Richardson, Mark Des Lauriers, Scott Slocombe, and Craig Martin were 13lst. 133rd, 135th, and 144th respectively. In the women’s 5.2 km race, the Athenas fielded their largest complement of runners in history. Running without captain ill Francis, the women were led b y ‘rookie Marci Aitken. Despite finishing an impressive 19th in a tough field, Aitken is looking to
improve at the OWIAAs. Right behind her was Lisa Laffradi, who was not complaining about her strong 23rd place finish. Linda Sullivan ran strong to take 43rd, and Marielle Rowan, hampered by an injury, and Ingrid Vanderschot were 55th and 58th. Close behind+ Kilmeny Beimler led Andrea Ziegler as the two placed 60th and 61st. In 68th was Deborah Addison; Linda Hachey, Bonnie Campbell, and Claudia Hancock, in 76th, 78th, and 81st, rounded out Waterloo’s result 9. Waterloo’s harriers got the Thanksgiving weekend off. They next see action tomorrow, October 15, at Buffalo’s Canisius College. The meet holds special importance for the grunts on the team, as it will be used to determine the final complement of Waterloo’s OUAA/OWIAA championship teams.

Athletes of the week ATHENA OF THE WEEK JANET MCPHERSON - FIELD HOCKEY Janet McPherson, a second year member of the Field Hockey team, has been selected as the University of Waterloo and Labatt’s Female Athlete of the Week, Janet is from Kitchener and attended Grand River Collegiate. She is currently a second year student in the Recreation program. Janet is being honoured as Female Athlete of the Week for her contribution during a 3-1 Athena Field Hockey victory over the University of Guelph. Her ability to become one of the Athena’s offensive threats was established when she led Waterloo by scoring all three of the Athena’s goals. After three league games cord of one win and two losses. Hard work over the summer has resulted in improvements in Janet’s running and passing skills. This, in addition to her strong technical skills, have enabled Janet to start to develop the ability she displayed as a promising freshman. Look for Janet to add offensive power as the Athena’s continue to fight for a play-off position. Their next games are against the University of Toronto and Western. WARRIOR OF THE WEEK BLAIR FALCONER - RUGBY Blair Falconer, a fourth year Physics student, has been selected as the University of Waterloo and Labatt’s Male Athlete of the Week, This is Blair’s fourth year as a member of the Warrior Runbv team.

Blair is being honoured for his on the field performance as well as his leadership abilities. While assisting to set up two trys, one of them the game winner, Blair always seemed to control the field, Play i .ng very well, he helped with background roles th .at lead to overall 9uccess. In 1986, Blair was selected to be an OUAA All-Star and in 1985, he was a member of the Waterloo OUAA Championship Rugby team. This season Blair has been named vice-captain. The Warriors have two games left in their schedule against a tough Wilfrid Laurier team and then the University of Toronto squad.
