Don't go to class Monday; plan to protest at Queen's Park rally by Renate Staedel Impfint staff
NEWS
The Federation of Students is appealing to the Waterloo student body to support the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) rally at Queen's Park on Monsay, October 31. The OFS is campaigning against a potential move by the government to increase tuition fees. Underfunding, increasingly limited accessibility and housing are the other major issues of-which the OFS is making the government aware. "The b o t k m line is, the quality of all of our education is continuously disintegrating," stated External Affairs Commissioner and rally organizer Lisa Eckel. "Turnout is critical," she says, "The more favourable the turnout, the more visible the concerns of the entire academic community will be." Eckel is optimistic "we can fill at least four buses:' The Feds have launched a comprehensive campaign to inform Waterloo students about the rally, aside from the standard posters, pamphlets, bookm a r k s , a d v e r t i s e m e n t s on CKMS and in Imprint. Feds are using the electronic mail available on-line to send messages to every university computer account informing account holders, students and faculty alike, of the event. Messages will also be sent to other universities
through the intercampus system. Five Federation members and associates are speaking in classrooms throughout this week to promote the event. As well, detailed memos were sent to each society encouraging classroom speaking within every department and numerous other measures to use the material made available to the Feds to gain the most effectiveexposure. Feds have also established a liaison with the Church Colleges promoting the event and encouraging participation. In addition, Feds are setting up an information booth in the Campus Centre on Thursday afternoon to answer students' questions on the issues and provide an opportunity for them to sign up for the march. Students can also sign up in the Federation Office, Rm. 235 in the Campus Centre. The Bombshelter is donating a section of the Shelter for a placard making party on October 27 at 7:30 p.m. Buses leave campus at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, October 31.The rally will start at Ryerson College at 1 p.m. and will march from there to Queen's Park, where it will stay until 3:30p.m. As advertised, there will be a pub hosted by Ryerson College after the rally. Buses will be leaving at 6 p.m. for those wishing to get back to campus early and at 10 p.m. for those wishing to stay for the festivities.

Berton s t a r s i n convocation address by Henrietta Veerman Imprint staff "There was another 45 minutes to go, and all I wanted was a beer." With this succinct reflection on his convocation, back in 1941, Pierre Berton opened his speech at last Friday's convocation, and brought the house down. Berton was on campus to accept an honorary degree. A Doctor of Laws was presented to him in recognition of his achievements as a journalist, broadcaster, author and humanitarian. The man who is also said to epitomize Canadian patriotism came out very str'ongly against free trade in his convocation address. We are a different kind of country than another country in the world, including the one to the south of us." "We don't have a violent history, no civil wars, no revolution, no Wild West. We live at a balance." Canadian geography, said Berton is key to this issue. "We're like Chile. 90 percent of us live within a hundred, two hundred miles of the American border. We are also an archipelago of population islands, kept apart y tremendous geographical barriers." "We've been shaped by twc things: The fear of being swallowed, by the country to the south, and the fear that the country will fly apart be:ause of the regional differences. '

L
.- UW convocation addresses, Pierre deliverv was very impressive. At a school where convocation IS held twice ;early and spread over four days, the calibre of people addressing the graduates seldomly is elevated to the likes of such a notable Canadian.
I i&&'s
Berton free trade will see the end of subsidies, which are key in shaping Canadian culture. This includes Hockey Night in Canada, the Peter Gzowski show, MacLean's magazine, the Grey Cup and Farley Mowat. Berton claims the "have-not" provinces have to be supported by the "have" provinces. Berton illustrated his point by recanting a conversation with a young American. The American believed we were the same people, and should join together. Replied Berton, "Yes, it's agrand idea. But we have a couple of conditions. First, we want to call the country Canada." "We don't need the FBI," Berton continued, "We've got the Mounties. We want universal medicare, and we don't ?ant anyone to carry a handgun. "When the young man said he wasn't quite thinking about it that way, Berton said, "I know you weren't. You don't really want to join with us, you want to swallow us." Berton ended his speech with a plea t o the graduation students to maintain and enhance the distinctiveness of the Canadian people. After convocation, Berton dicj not rush away but stayed awhile, graciously signing auto+ graphs on convocation programs for many audience members. Not only did his famous face attract attention, but so did the hot pink convocation robes selected and loaned to him by the convocation-powers-that-be. May it go on record that Berton, to his everlasting credit, sported the pink with panache.

Local Liberal emerged from tough and polarized nomk7ation batt/e
Part. two of election coverage: the Liberals by John Mason Impriat 8taff Imprint continues its examinati& of the candidates running for the wuterloo riding in the federal election un November 21, 1988 with u look ot Steve Woodworth The Liberd cundidate is CI long time resident of K-W and his pructiced law in Waterloo since 197% Woodworth spoke to Imprint on Thursday October 20, 1988.
Imprint: How do you view the issues of under funding, overcrowding, high professor-student ratios and the geizral insensitivity of current provincial and federal governments toward the post-secondary education system in Canada? Woodworth: The universities of this nation are very important and their funding is not something which should be sacrificed under any circumstances, over
the past four years, the Mulroney government has actually slashed federal cQntribuGons by $2.3 billion. When asked for a solution, former Secretary of State, David Crombie, blamed the universities for the funding crisis. Clearly this is an issue of little concern to the Conservatives. Imprint: You stress the importance of education in ‘the Liberal platform but can you offer any specifics? Wwdworth: I don? believe there has been any specific statements issued about the degree or extent of post-secondary education funding. Imprint: Does the Liberal party have a solution to the problem of federal funds meant for education being diverted to non-educational purposes at the provincial level? Woodworth: We don’t have any-specific plans to enact any legislation to compel the provinces, but I think you will find that
the federal government will have a more generous approach in providing funding for the provinces which will make the provinces more willing to work within Ottawa’s intentions. Imprint: what is your feeling about the legal and moral position of exclusionary bylaws in Ontario’s university cities? Is there anything to be done at the federal level about this situation? Woo,dworth: Exclusionary .bylaws discrimate on the basis of occupation and/or social statu8. As a lawyer, I offer my opinion that such regulations are illegal as violat ions of the Canadian’charter of Rights and Freedoms. In that context ihey are indeed a federal problem be; cause of the national Charter. In the absence of provable and specific problems such regulations are simply unjust, Even though the regulations do not specifically deal with students, they
are clearly aimed at students and single people. Imprint: Is it only provincial legislation which will change this situation? Woodworth: I think that is correct unless a sufficiently concerned group hires a lawyer to litigate it, I am convinied that if litigated, exclusionary bylaws will not survive. Imprint: Should post-secondary education be available to every eligible high-schogl graduate? Woodworth: Affordable, quality post-secondary education should be available to all academically qualified Canadians who desire it. The qualification ‘academically qualified’ must be set independent of financing constraints* At the same time the quality of education must not be compromised. Imprint: Such a policy would require an expansion of the existing university system. Where

be found? It becomes a question of priorities, but you would be hard pressed to think of any priority that would equal the opportunity of Canadians Gaining an education. Imprint: You oppose the Free Trade Agreement but specifitally how do you see it affecting the Waterloo riding? Woodworth: Fundamentally this is not a free trade agreement it has been misrepresented by the Conservative government. The deal could prove near disaster for the people of Waterloo riding, particularly for the manuf acturing industries. There is nothing in +e agreement to stop large manufacturer8 from relocating south of the border in order to lower their production cost& Labobr co8ts in the US are significantly lower than in Canada.

The usually riotous Panda game, a football showdown between Carleton and the University of Ottawa, has new problems to deal with this year. In an effort tojmprove security and cut down on rioting, the game has lost its fans. In the past, the universities each made about $9000 in profit; this year they will split the $35,000 loss incurred. The university is plagued with theft problems; many students have apparently realized that it is cheaper to steal items such as china, toilet paper, and cutlery than to buy them, The residence Eafeteria estimates it loses about $20,000 annually to theft, Another on-campus cafeteria figures it loses over $80,000 every year.

Paper’s ad offends readers
.
This is the decade of raising awareness of sexism in the L media. Recent events such as the Ann Simonton Sex, Power, und the Me& presentation [Sept. 2331and the UW hosted Miss Qktoberfest pageant and protest (Oct. 6) have signalled that a growing number of members from this university community are fed up with the obje&ificaCon of women. Now, the appearance of’ a strip club advertisement in Imprint has been met with heavy debate within and outside the walls of the newspaper’s office. Letters have criticized Imprint for not screening these types of advertisements from this university commuriity. Before receiving this unsolicited Doll House advertisement, the editorial decision was that it did not “discrimi-. nate on the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation or religion.” Although the newspaper retains the right to screen or. refuse all advertising, Imprint, at the Qctober 21 meeting of staff, determined it would publish the opinion of this paper on this matter. Some have been duped into thinking that Imprint neces- * sarily agrees with all of the copy and advertising within the pages of the newspaper. E3ecause an advertisement is run in a newspaper does not mean the paper has aligned itself with the message being delivered to readers. In the case of the Doll House message, Imprint is opposed to ‘the strip club’s objectification of women. Any media t@ic could point out that men and women among other things are constantly objectified in advertising; however, this ad has gone beyond the difficult-to-define limit, The easy way out of this controversy would have been to pull the advertisement from the paper. The message the owners of the Doll House management would receive would have been considerably weaker than if they are forced to remove their own ad due to an adamant message which comes from the entire university community, The staff of Imprint felt it useless to contain the debate merely to its own conference table, This is atiissue which is worthy of exposure to the entire campus, Imprint, therefore, encourages readers to continue writing letters to the editor. But, more importantly, if you want to tell the owners of the Doll House that you will not tolerate being targeted as a market that supports rewarding women for taking . their clothes off, then write to them. Send your letters to the Doll House at 6 Bridge ML Kitchener NBC 1K4 Raising the issue of sexism, and the objecCfication of women ur men is one role of the media, Make no mistake, the Doll House ad is a legal ad. The ad has .madb some people wake up on this campus where making social statements is overwhelmitigly a dead priority compared to co-op interviews and studying. Don’t tell Imprint to cut the ad, apply the pressure of ymm pen and voice - then the victory of the strip club bowing to the demand of the university comhunity belongs to the students, not just the smaJ1 staff of a student newspaper. In the meantime, for those who like having reality ten. sored from their view, Imprint offers no apology,
Axe\ strip ad I,ast Friday, [October 211 at the Imprint staff meeting the issue of sexism was raised by a staff member off-campus this term. What ensued was a debate as to whether or not the Doll’s Iiouse Ad should run in the paper. Actually it really wasn’t a debate, as the discussion degenerated into a yelling match among Imprint staff members. Needless to say, I did my part by yelling
.
and
swearing
as mutih
if
not more than everyone else. After it was aI1 over, the issue had not really been discussed, and I felt the need to better explain to staff members and to the general student reading public why 1 was opposed to running the ad. 1 am not opposed to the ad because it is tasteIess. Taste is per-
sonal and difficult to legislate, Rather, I am opposed to r&nine the ad because it is sexist. By sexist, I mean that stripping whether it be a male or female’ stripper, is an act of objectification of both sexes, This objectification subsequently de-humanizes all peopl& Some
people in the Imprint said that it
was up to the striptier to decide which profession to pursue, and that she had the right to bbe a stripper. The fact there are strippers is not the issue I waited to discus&. Insttiad, I want ,to discuss whether or not the student p.aper at a university should print an ad that advertises strippers, Especially since the Imprint has a policy that disallows sexist and racist ads.

Protests
not hiconsequential
Why protest pageants? Why, indeed? Beauty pageants seem harmless enough. Besides, who really cares, right? In the greater scheme of things, beauty. pageants really don’t affect our lives. Shouldn’t feminist8 give it a rest? People are starving all around the world. Surely there are more important issues they could spend their time on? Beauty pageants are not the most important issue going in the world today; but they are still an issue, and one that directly affects our campus. Our campus hosted another Miss Oktoberfest beauty pageant at the Humanities Theatre in Hagey Hall this year. Another anti-pageant protest was held, the biggest ever at 40. Perhaps the protesters went a little overboard with the “chain-of-command” which had a rape victim, beaten housewife and beauty contestant all chained fogether, Pageants do not inflict bodily harm upon women. They do, however,,inflict figurative harm upon women. Beauty pageants project the image of women as just a pretty face. Look at who enters: women with pretty faces, Look at who wins: women with pretty faces, True, there is a talent competition. Some contestants, -such as Miss K-W @role McMillan wh6 plays the fiddle’ are very talented, Unfortunately, any possible good wrought hy this section is single-handily undone by the swimsuit competition. A swimsuit competitioi is not an IQ test. Women in bathing suits and high heels walk out on stage to be judged for how good their bodies look in bathing suits. Calves, thighs, butt and breasts: these are the criteria which are examined and evaluated. And that is, quite and very simply, demeaning and degrading and discriminatory to women. True, those women on stage do this voluntarily. But should the actions of a few be allowed to harm the whole? Even if this section were eliminated, pageants would still be discriminatory to women, By definition, a winner .of a beauty contest has won because of her .beauty. This is what reinforces the image of women as a pretty face. we might say, well everyone., knows beauty contestants are more than just a pretty face. Women must just be so insecure about themselves and their own intelligence, that they cannot laugh off a beauty contest as idconsequential.
This may be a justified insecurity. women’s liberation has not been around that long. Pay equity does not really exist in our country. Traditional female jobs, like secretarial work, are paid much lower than traditional male jobs, like carpentry. Perhaps a carpenter’s work is more valuable than a secretary’s, But who is to judge the value of work?. This is not to suggest that women’s liberation will unravel

1 was greatly appalled to see the ad for The Doll’s House in the October 21 issued of Imprint. I thought our students newspaper was non-sexist. Obviously it isn’t. Carrying an ad for a strip joint is bad enough. Printing a picture that literally advertises a woman’s breasts is appalling! It is bad enough that UW must eridure a beauty pageant that perpetuates the objectification of women, but to have this objectification so literally displayed in a student newspaper is obscene. As someone who gladly pays my Imprint fee, 14oudly protest the running of future Doll’s House ads. Needless to say some will argue most ads somehow or
other objectify men or women [usually women]. This is very true. The whole nature of advertising is to attract people to a product+ and one of the w’ays of doing that is by having beautiful people in the ads, It is up to society - or in this case the student body - to decide how much, if any, objectification should be allowed in ads. This however+ does not mean that because some objectifying ads are run, alLobjectifying ads should be tolerated. Objectification in ads occtirs to varied degrees. Surely the Imprint can at least stop printing this most extreme example of objectification! Franz Hartmann 4B P. Sci.
Ms. Binella responds To the editor, As reported in the October 14, issue of Imprint, I participated in a protest inside the Miss Oktoberfest pageant. I understand and regret that there was
1988
confusion that I had acted in my capacity as Vice-President [University Affairs]. It was purely a private act. I did not address the press nor represent the Federation to the media in any manner, Secondly+ I do not condone the use of civil disobedience on everi possible occasion. The protest inside the theatre represents years of frustration in at-
tempting to remove a sexist spectacle from the university community which is supposed to be on the leading $ed&, toward a more equitable society, Every perceivable university channel to implement this change has been exhausted, Simil’arly, the pagehnt protest as a yearly event has become institutionalized at Waterloo. I personally r.efuse to accept these ultimatums. Lip service simply cannot be paid to gender equality, Finally, I tiould appreciate it if in the future Gina Power refer to me as “MS” not “Miss.” Wendy

Ad objectif.ies To the editor,
What angers me most is that this protest was organized by two groups funded by my Fed fees. If the Women’s Centre and the Women’s Issues Board are using their funding in this way, serious consideration should be given to whether tie continue to support them in the future, Since reading the article, I discussed it with at least half a dozen women. Responses ranged from “that’s stupid+‘to “Imprint’s hurtin’ for news.” Not one woman supported the actions taken by these groups supposedly acting on behalf of campus women. In view of this I suggest Miss Zimmerman put her chains away, clean the fake bleed off of her accomplice and apologize to the community, the university and especially the female dent body.
What would you do if someone you care about threatened to commif suicide? People who are thinking ibout killing themselves often either make direct statements about their intention to end their lives or exhibit other warning symptoms. Some of these potential “danger” signs are described briefly below. -constant feelings of worthlessness or self-hatred [may include comments about how they’d be better off dead/ their families would be better off without them) -sudden changes in behaviour/personality (for example, a shy person becomes a thrill-seeker+ an outgoing person withdraws and becomes unfriendly) -dramatic changes in appetite -sleeping difficulties -poor performance in school/apathy about performance -trouble concentrating: agitation: inability to sit still -unexplained loss of energy; excessive fatigue -loss of interest in friends -increased drug and/or alcohol use -excessive risk-taking -preoccupation with death, dying or suicide -making final arrangements, giving away personal or prized possessions ’ ’ -a previous sui,cide attempt If someone confides in you that he/she is thinking of suicide or exhibits a number,of the above signs, talk to them about it. It is far better to confront a friend and be wrong than to ignore these symptoms and migs an opportunity to help. Suggest that your friend talk”to a counsellor, clergy member+ or someone else who ctin help put their life back into perspective..

lying Biblical text can be read by bombarding the pages with radiation. After discovery, it was purchased by the ‘International Bible Society, and is now in the process of analysis and translation. One can read about this discovery in the October 1986 issue of Christianity Today. The most important and exciting element in this discovery is the fact that the ink of the overlying document dates circa,. 100 AD, meaning that the four Gaspels written underneath, which necessarily were penned before
the work &hich replaced them, were all in exi9tence prior to the end of the first century. Not only that, but the Gospels which have been translated so far (]ohn and most of Matthew) are identical to the 4th century documents which are the sources or the Bible translations we use today. The implications are tremendous. There simply was no time for extensive revisions, editing, or emendation to occur between the writing of the originals and the point at which the Gospels were translated from Greek to

Scene: Two women standing in a line-up comprised of many UW students perusing the latest copy of Imprint. .They turn to page 37, eyes rivet to a blonde buxom woman. They learn she is an accomplished film star with several noted porn movies to her credit. ’ It is clear that her attributes inclucle more than just acting ability. She has stunning golden locks, a dazzling beaded costume and what’s more a 5.6 FFF chest. How many women can make
that claim! Is this the type of woman that female UW students should try to emulate? “Yes” was the answer given by two LJW males peering over the women’s shoulders at the @hoto of Betty Boobs. “Hey babes, how about sho& jng us some of your table dancing talent?” and other such cutting comments ejaculated from their mouths. This type of response is indicative of the effeet of such advertising on women’s identity today. Women depicted as porn stars and strip queens ruin it for
women studying at universities or any woman who wants to be recognized for some merit besides her measurements. As a place of higher learning, UW should have a newspaper more discrimitiatory in its choice of advertising. Ads such as the one for the “The Doll House” serve only purpose of eroding the progress that women have made to demonstrate themselves to be human beings rather than sex objects.

Would constitutional. property rights ’ inhibit environmental protection’? by Peter Courteey
Mulvihill . of Alternetivea
Magazine
Canadians are guaranteed t’he right to life, liberty and security of person under Section 7of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Efforts to amend the Constitution to include the right to enjoyment of property has gained momentum in recent years. This move has some environment alist s concerned about the pr.act ical implica’ tions of property rights on the environment, Environmental law groups are particularly nervous about uncertainties surrounding possible impacts on land use planning, resource management and pollution abatement efforts. They fear that entrenchment of property rights could strengthen the legal hand of developers and polluters and make it more difficult for public agencies and groups to protect collective interests. Although public debate on property rights ha,s been minimal, those in favour of entrenchxnF?t, have been actively pursuing this goal for several years. Gfoups favouring property rights entrenchment include the Ontario Real Estate Association, Canadian Bar Association, Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the National Citizens Coalition. Proponents &entrenchment disag?e with the government’s ability to exproprf& land without paying for it, put individual rights in abeyance with the sometimes lengthy process of planning+ delay or stop development projects with little recouise for the developer. In September 1982, the British Columbia Legislature unanimously adopted a resolution calling for an amendment to the Charter that would add property rights. In doing so+ they noted,tb governments of New Brunswick and the Yukon+ had adopted similar resolutions and urged other provincial and territorial governments to follow suit. In November 198% the Ontario Legislature voted 44-20 in favour of a resuIutiwn introdurzed by Waterloo Liberal backbencher Herb Epp to endorse the amendment. On the federal front, Conservative MP John Reimer of Kitchener recently introduced a rivate member’s bill to entrench property Tig It ts. Although Reimer’s bill did not pass first reading in the House of Commons, there are indications that his resolution may nevertheless be addedto the agenda of an upcoming constitutional con-
ference. The upcoming federal election may determine the shorter-term fate of entrenchment effom, since support appears to be substantial among the $ajority Conservative caucus. Perhaps the most comprehengive review of the potential effects of property rights entrenchment on the envigonment c?rnes from the work of Harry Poch, an environmental barrister in Metropolitan Toronto’s legal department. Poch’s first concern is that property rights entrenchment could threaten land use planning regimes. Pro$ncial legiglation and municipal by-laws controlling the use and development of property could be subject to legal challenge. This could allow zoning by-laws, subdivision regulations and property standards to be by-passed, Developer9 might also challenge limitations on ,activities in environmentally 9ensitive arenas, as well as restrictions intended to prevent premature and wasteful use of resources, Poch also believeB that entrenchment wuuld fiermit d&eL opers and others to challenge fobdland9 preservation decisions, controls on extraction of aggregates, land rehabilitation requirements, woodlot preservation programmes, wetlands protection schemes, air quality regulations and water quality and quantity controls. He expects th$c&erating regulations, Jitiecs.ing and permit co&bls would be tested by proponents seeking to reduce or eliminate restrictions on their use of property, Finally,. Ptich Is concerned’ that entrenching property rights wguld hinder pollution preven?ion, pollution prosecutions and enforcement. For Harry Poch and other environmental critic9 of property right9 entrenchment, many variables need to be sorted out. They see prtqjerty rights entrenchment as an extremely complex issue, iind claim that in the absence of detailed studies it is impo99ible to judge ‘whether benefits . offered by such rights would in practice supersede the threat9 posed to environmental protection

We are outraged by the dem@nd of Gina Power that VPUA Wendy Rinella should apolqgize for her behaviour at the Miss Oktoberfest Pagbant. Ms. Rinella’s behaviour was motivated and representative only of a 9trong personal belief, and it is completely unfounded to presume that her behaviour was re-, preaentative of the Federation of Students. If this were true, then the presence of Shane Carmi’ chael’at the pageant and the re* ception as a spectator, would seim to also im$y the support of the Federation of Students. Clearlyf this argument is inconsistent and unsupportable. We feel that asking any elected member of the Federation of Students to give up their right to their individual opinions and actions is unacceptable an< undemocratic, Rather than asking for an apology, Ms. Rinella should be commended for her willingness to take such strong actions on her personal beliefs. In an atmosphere of apathy, for which this campus is infamous, it would be to our ultimate advantage to have more people with the courage and dedication of Wendy Rinella.

Sexism
Is Imprint a “born again” sleaze promoter?
The ad should be withdrawn because the effects of objectification of both men and women goes beyond the immediate setting of the bar where the stripping occurs. Because the effects of this objectification goes beyond the doors of the bar, then the argument that people should be able to see, do, and watch whatever they want is mistaken because they are ignoring the consequences on one’s actions beyond an immediate setting. 1 feel that the Imprint is responsible for the consequences that occur from the objectification of men and women that will result from running this ad. This campus should be a place where people are judged according all their merits, not just their physical dimensions. To those that say this will promote-a debate on sexism on campus’ you are right’ but isn’t there a more intelligent way to do it? It is imperative that the Imprint defines the terms sehm and racizm as defined by Imprint’s Policied and Procedures, and acts to correct the mistake of running the aforementioned ad.
J To the edbr,
too spineless to refuse the ad or have you all become “bornagain” sleaze promoters? Apparently imprint has a policy of not allowing racist or sexist ads. What does an ad have to contain to be considered “sexist”? I would like to think that these ads would have provoked at least some debate among Irnprint staffers. Why has there been no mention of this in an Imprint editorial? Please, let’s have some answers about this in next week’s edition And let’s see some reaction from the feminists . on campus - surely, I’m not the only -one who’s unhappy about these ads!
What the hell is going on?!!! Tucked away on page 37 of the October ZI issue of Imprint was an ad [complete with picture) featuring Betty Boobs, movie star and porno queen. Apparently this poor woman, “plus a bevy of other beauties” will be appearing at a Kitchener strip joint this week. There were also ads in the two previous issues of Imprint promoting Miss Nude Vancouver Island 1987, Miss Nude Hollywood 1988, the ever-present “bevy of other beauties” and free table dancing on Wednesday nights. Why is Imprint running these ads? Are you that hard up for money to pay the bills, are you

Feds may spend $6000 tci boost lJWdudents by Bradlay Steven Cook Imprint staff University of Waterloo students have a pour self-image, according to the recent quality-of-life survey, headed by Dr. Christopher Knapper. Students tend to identify highly with their faculty, but not so much with the ur.iuersity as a whole. Much of what the community hears about the university is related to research. They usually hear only about the negative aspects of student life* Federation of Students VPOF Shane Carmichael wants to change all that; the Federation has budgeted $6,000 for the aptly-named “Waterloo Pride Campaign,” “Waterloo Pride” is a publicrelations campaign designed exclusively to promote a positive, corporate image of University of Waterloo students, student-life, and the Federation. “We war$ to end the fallacy that students are straight partiers,” says Carmichael. “In fact, most of us are hard-working, dedicated people who offer a lot to the community.‘* The object of the campaign is to promote positive examples of student involvement in the community: students who volunteer with handicapped people; students who raise funds and are involved with Big Brothers and Big Sisters; students who ctiach sporting teams; those who sing in choirs; and students who participated in Shinerama (UW students raised far in excess of $50,000 for Cystic Fibrosis this year!) Other community events UW organizes include Canada Day Festivities and the Winter Carnival,
Carmichael says he would like to run this campaign in conjunction with the many communityoriented activities alteady organized by student g,roups; these include the Engineering bus-push, the Village Benefit Semi-Formal, and others. “Waterloo-Pride” will involve radio spots on local radio stations, CHYM and CKKW - stations with a large share of the KW market. The committee will dis’tribute buttons and posters throughout the city to “educate the Kitchener-Waterloo Community.” The opportunity will be offered for local businesses and organizations to get in-
volved and show their support for UW students. The Winter Carnival this year will be geared, more so than ever’ toward the twin-cities at . large, Labelled the 1989 Kitchener-Waterloo Winterfest, the UW Winter Carnival will be an integral part of festivities which will include an Arts Festival’ Snow Sculptures, Charity Ball, Cultural Caravan, skatin t the Corporate Challenge’ E3a1 loonfest, baseball, and additional events. Events like this are important to students. Si’nce this is a co-operative school, large numbers of people come and go every fou?
months. There are fewer occasions for students to get out and get i~nvolved. As the campaign progresses, it is hoped that there will be a “piggy-backing” effect; our pride, spirit andinvolvement will grow as our image grows within the community. The immediate task‘ t.hought is to get the ball rolling. “I had hoped that the Feds would have budgeted a lot more than we did, but $6,000 is a start,” Carmichael says. He added: “With more than twenty thousand undergraduate students at UW, plus grads, plus part-time students, phs facuIty’ and staff-members’ we really
make up a large portion of the overall community, But we do not want the local people feel that they owe us anything. We are happy to be a benefit to the community, Hbwever, it is up to us to show them (the community] that we are good for the commupity and have a lot to offer*” With a municipal election quickly approaching’ perhaps this is an ideal time for us to stand-up and be recognized.

Counselling Services is now introducing a new way for students to explore possible areas of career interest -using a computer! The Persona1 Career (PC) Directions program data base contains detailed information about 1000 different occupations. A student can input various characteristics of a job that are of particular interest to him or her. The computer then sorts through its data base and selects jobs that correspond to the student’s interests. Some preliminary informatiun about the nature of these occupations and the qualifications required is also available on the computer. An hour and a half is all it takes to complete a career search using PC Directions. The program is extremely “user frieqdly,” qnd a brief introdtiction is provided by uur staff? Students then enter information about their personal interests, education level, personality, desired salary, and various other work related factors, By entering their most important concerns first, students can control the sorting process of the computer and usualIy end up with alist of between 20 and 30 uccupations which are compatible with job characteristics they have selected. The list often contains a few career choices the student may have considered at one time, a few new ideas, and some that are just good for a laugh! ,The program is most helpful for students with little or no idea what career path they would like to follow at this point, Individuals who have already identified* a specific field of in-.

by Marc Ihushjwski Imprint shff Do not call it progress, With the help of Canadian tax dollars, the world’s richest environment al regions are being destroyed at the rate of 50 million acres each year - an area the-size of Great Britain. And while tropical rainforests cover only 7 per cent of the planet’s land surface, they are home to between 50 and 80 per cent of a11 plant and animal species, Every day a few species become extinct, most before they have be&en studied. Botanist Peter Raven, Director of the Missouri Botanical Garden, predicts that “we can expect the rate of extinction to average perhaps 100 to 200 species a day” by the end of this century. These warehouses of life are being felled and burned from the Amazon to Central Africa and the islands of Indonesia, and since World War II over 40
Every day a few species goes extinct. per cent of the world’s tropical rainforests have been destroyed, Countries including India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Haiti have lost almost all their primary tropical forest. Reasons for this destruction are numerous, but the thread of short lived gain seems to tie many of them together: corporations and governments see little profit in conservation. In Central America over &e past 20 years, 40 per cent of rainforests have been logged and turned into pasture for cattle ranching. Most of the beef is exported to North America [the U.S. buys around 90 per cent of Central American beet) where it is used as fast food, TV dinners and pet food. Very little of the> beef produced in the region is consu’med there, but at leas-t two thirds of Central America’s arable land is und& cattle production. The people are left with little land to feed themselves. The regional governments then urge the poor to push back the forest and clear land for subsistence agriculture. Rainforest soil is not good agricultural land, and, after ti few seasons, when the soil is no longer productive, the farmers have no choice but to seil out to the ranchers and press further into the forest, Cattle ranching generates few jobs+ To maintain grazing lands, the ranchers often use pesticides and herbicides that have been banned in North America. The people who live there, the workers and the cattle are all exposed to these chemicals. In Brazil, the huge Amazon rainforests are used by the government as relocation areas for thousands of landless peasants, Rather than tackle land reform on good agricultural soil, the go-

As in Central America, around 5 percent of the land owaers control over 80 per cent of the country’s farmland: 70 per cent of rural families have no land, Natural resource extraction for export, poverty and unequal land distribution are real causes of deforestation, yet Nicaragua is the only Central American country where the government has undertaken major land reform.

World Bank loans totaIling over $600 million have helped finance a program that Indonesian government studies admit has placed 300,000 settlers under the threat of ecological collapse. Already, 3.3 million hectares of forest have been destroyed or are facing imminent destruction as a result of this program, and the World Bank is looking at another $IZO mi.llion in new lcms for further resettlement.~ International aid institutions, including the World Bank. the Inter-American D&elopment Bank: the African Development Bank and the Asian Development Bank, have poured rn-oney into industri.al projects without regard to ecological consequences.

Approximately 90 per cent of the world’s food comes from only 12 types of crops half of which have their origin in the rairiforest. Access to the genetic pool of rainforeat relatives must be available to ensure that these crops can remain resistant to peats, disease and and harsh environmental conditions, preventing biological catastrophe and possible famine. The impact of rainforest destruction is not limited to the forests, the 200 million people who depend on them for survival, nor the 1 billion people who need them as water sources. The loss of these ecosystems that has already altered regional climates will change the world’s climate. India spends over $I billion annually on4lood cotitrol because of Himalayan deforestation, and this year’s disaBterous floods in Bangladesh were blamed in part on the same cause, The Panama Canal is quickly filling with silt, the result of deforestation around the lakes that feed the canal: deforestation caused by small farmers clearing forest for themselves after losing better land to richer farmers.

Perfect by Paul Done Imprint Staff , It may seem like hair-splitting to some, but the difference between the brilliance of The Chills and the mediocrity of most guitar-pop bands is the difference between artists and artisans.

It was the women he felt sorry for: “the human female isn’t just some bitch to be bred and bred,” ; With war, both social and militari, constantly raging around him, he recognized that “a doctor’s war is never over” and that “what a person needs most for survival is a good flow of adrenaline and a sense of humour.” McClure, I dare say, had both.

I did catch glimpses of this vigorous character during the first act, but theactor, Stephen Black, was not grarrted enough time to dwell on certain incidents in order to develop intensity and depth in his character, The first act was a headlong rush through time - which perhaps reflects McClure’s headlong rush through life - but it didn’t make for a very actable theatre script. The result was: 1) a harried and forced McClure ohe that wasn’t warmed to the role; and 4 a lukewarm story despite its colourful subject matter. Curiosity to find out the rest of the story kept me from leaving during the interr&sion, and I’m glad 1 stayed. In the second act there was no more headlong rushing through time, but more concentration on McClure’s emotional reactions

Don’t let the name Landscapes delude you into thinking you will see only rolling hills, flow-ered meadows, babbling brooks and cloudy skies. There are also cliffs and logs and snow, boats and houses and canoes, cows and birds and people. On one of the far walls of the gallery hang two oils; “Winter on

Winter is represented by two oil on paper works’ “Cornstalks in Winter” and “Winterfield.” In both pieces’ Verboom depicts snow-cqvered plant stalks sticking out of the snow. The perspective he takes is very effective: eye level with the siow-capped tops of the stalks. So delicately has Verboom rendered the powdery snow, that we can actu-

’ ally feel it. If we were to flick one of the stglks with our fingers, the snow would surely flutter to the ground. Verboom pointed out “Winterfield” as one of his favourites in the show. Seeing so many of his works from so many different points in his artistic developmefit, together at the same time was an interesting experience for him. “1 find myseli being very cri& Cal”’ he revealed. “But I’m not looking back. I’m .going forward because I’m creatirrg~~new things:” Verboom started drawing a8 a child- and started selling ieces at 14. He found it was r un to pursue his hobby and make money at the same time, su he went to an arts-oriented high school. He later attended the Ontario College of Art and gradu-
ated in lg70.
Although Verboom paints out= side -as often as he cant he works mainly from slides he proa jects onto a blank wall - the closest thing tabeing on the spot. The slides, says Verboom’ are his reminders of the emotions he felt when he was looking at the actual scene. When the painting

is finished, he knows it is suc, cessful if he finds himself feeling the same way. Viewers, he beliives, want to feel the artist’s emotions. If the emotions aren’t there, the piece won’t be successful The best way for artists -to put emotions into their work is to create for themselves, ’ j “Paintings I t&d to make for other people always failed,” explains Verboom, “Paintings in which I put things 1 thought people would like.” So he continued painting for himself, and ou can see the results in the gal Tery. Altogether’ it is a nice collection of landscapes, with some real gems, which you would be bur living happy to hang in roum, They are all a i out livingroom size - not too big, not too small - nice and safe. Perhaps Verboom has larger canvases to show - I don’t know. 1 can only say that some of the pieces displayed in the UW gallery might have been more impretisive on laser canvases. But that is the choice of the artist’ isn’t it?

by Andy Koch Imprint staff My first exposure to Agit Pop was when they appeared as 8 surprise warm-up -act for Firehose in Toronto last winter. All but the most cynical of the fans in attindance tha! ‘night were impressed by the band% wildset and I personally was blown away by it. Open Seaaona is the third LP by this trio from Poughkeepsie NY, Although the sound here differs from that of thelive show it is by no means disappointing. Agit Pop is somewhat of a rarity in today’s music. They manage to produce a sound that is both original and highly listenablem Apart from a subtle Minutemen/Firehose influence, the band has a sound all its own. All 12 songs on the record sound like Agit Pop, but they all manage to sound different in some way. The result is an exciting release that does not contain a single bad song. . ’
1988 This band is made up of fairly talented musicians, but this is not what makes the album great. Agit Pop’8 reaI skill lies in their always interesting delivery and arrangements. They have a knack for being noisy and offbeat but they use these elements allowing for their 3paringly, above average songwriting abilities to filter through the din, Up &J Go Songs like Gettin Down and Top of t 1 e Stairs are particularly infectious while not . even coming close to sounding commercial. One innovation that makes Agit Pop unique is their use of various methods percus8ion. pop up throughout the album and all of the tracks have a rhythmic feel to them. One sofig, Three l3oys and Space, consists simply of the vocalist chanting over a tribal beat of drumming and clanging. As far as what the band is saying, the listener faces an even greater challenge. Those lyrics which are audible suggest they are even more strange and unconventional than the music, Take for example the two lines that make up the lyrics for The Inventor: “Ben Franklin, he liked sex a lot more than the storm’s effects / Tom Edison’s new renever thought it cord player, would come to this.” - a fitting . by Arka Roy final statement on a weird and Ihprint fd aff wonderful album that is worth every cent of the import price. Since the age of nine, when I first rbegan watching hockey, I’ve been waiting for someone to put a c.oolzstylized version of the Hockey Night in Canudc~ theme on a record. It took the Shuffle Dimons, a cool stylized jazz quintet, to actually do it. This inslrumental opener to the album even contains some playby-play commentary by Rich Underhill, the band’s fanatici frontman. This album is classic Demon zaniness.

I guess the band must enjoy what they play; I guess they want other people to enjoy it too. But they failed to convince me. The plodding drum machines combined with little instrumentation and a dirge for a voice are more fit for a perverted requiem than for music they claim has been previously compared to the Velvet Underground. I am the last person in the world to calt for music that is more approachable; I believe musicians should play how and what they want. But if you want to be different (read: boring), be artistic, or else 1 am forced to call it what I think it is: uninspired pretense.
Here it is fall again and time to review another Suburban Distortion tape. Last year, the band took particular offense to a Don Kudo review and wrote a letter to the editor expressing their feelings. This review is not intended to provoke the same re. sponse.

Ken &d Bri are a local duo with a new age feel to them. In this, their debut tape, they try to stretch the patience of this laidback reviewer with music that often threatens to be too atmos-

Last week the UW DTama Department opened its season with Jitters’ a Canadian play by David French. This award winning play, directed by”Dianne Ingram’ is a comedy about theatre; it is a play about the trials and tribulations of putting on a play. The audience is takbn behind the scenes to experience the “jitters” of nervous tension felt by all be-
fore opening night. Of course everything that could possibly go wrong, does. The temperamental actors argub childishly with one another, while the director desperately tries to soothe bruised egos, calm fears, mediate, and generally maintain discipline over the entire company, Wendy Farrant plays the iemanding role of director’ George Ellesworth, competently enough; although’ she is not always believable. Farrant seems
to be acting too much and the portrayal of her character does not feel genuine. The part of Jessica Logan’ the famous Canadian actress who actually made it to stardom in the u& as well as in Canada, wa8 8uccessfully played by Anita McFarlane. McFarlane was well-suited for the role and played the self-conscious Jessica naturally and seemingly without effort. Patrick Flanagan’ a marvelous actor is intimidated by the prospect of having a well-known American director in the audience, embodying all the feeIings of iqferiority Canadian artista have toward their American counterparts. Marvin Hint plays the arrogant Patrick cotivincingly. The highlight of the performance however, came
from Tony Bristow’8 hilarious portrayal of Phil Mastorakis’ a totally insectire actor, living in his mother’s shadow. Phil is ~0 pathetic, one cannot help but laugh at him, At one point he is so frightened about forgetting his lines that he refuses to go on stage, and unwittingly ends up stealing the show. The play deals also with the theatre critics and how the actars react to their reviews after opening night. In fact, it makes

Chalk by Gletin Hauer Imprint staff The Waterloo volleyball Warriors once again asserted them,selves last weekend taking the East-West Challenge at Western. Usually, four teams participate: Waterloo, Western, Toronto, and York: the traditional powers in the OUAA. However, York decided to avoid this tournament and go off to Calgary instead. It seems that Waterloo will not be playing York for awhile. Coach Rob Atkinson knows fully well that the Warriors can beat Western and Toronto, and that they did, As he explained to his team in practice, “We know we’re better than ~the teams we’ve seen this year, but .we have to work hard to get better than the ones we haven’t seen.” York is “definitely in our league” and should win the OUAA’s Eastern title, In the Warriors first match against Western, their intensity level +vas at its highest this year,

I3oth of the power hitters, Brian ‘Dambo’ Damman and Steve ‘Monkeyhead’ Smith; had awesome attacking games. The scores were 15-7, 15-7, easy victories. The third game of the match saw a drop-off in the aggressiveness required for complete domination of the Mustangs. Waterloo didn’t pass well at all, yet still won the match with a 15-13 victory in the final game. Damman ended,up with a team leading 12 kills for the match. . “I know of course that, individually, these plcyers have all the talent they need to win. Our power hitters had a great game.

Captain Jim McKinnon “was and always will be an inspiration to our team” with his comeback from his injury and his determination on the court. Atkinson stated that “even though he’s not starting, the way he works just feeds the team with that little bit of .extra spark,” This tournament will be used as a basis for CIAU rankings.

The game marked the final, horrifyrng chapter in what was meant to be the Warriors’ first of several rebuilding campaigns. But if there is such a thing, this game was a bright spot amid a bleak season. The Warrior offence, a study in lethargy all season, saved its best day for last. Waterloo .gained 281 yards and marked up 17 first downs, led by the gritty running of Dave Ropret, who ru!hed 26 times for 132 yards. Ropret, normally a kick returner and receiver, found himself in the backfield after Orville Beckford was forced to sit out with a cracked rib, Starting pivot Brian Lenart gained more yards on the ground than he did in the air - he tossed just eight passes, completing four for 35 yards, while carrying thi ball 13 times for 410 yards. “It W&I a positive end to the season,‘* said coach Chuck McMann. “I’m proud of the offence, they moved the ball really well. Brian was making the proper reads and guys were running really hard. It was our best offensive game.” At one point, it looked like the Warriors might do the impossible and grab the elusive win, as they led 11-9 heading into the fourth quarter. But the cardinal law of Waterloo football prevailed once again - if there’s any chance of winning, something will happen to make s’ure the Warriors don’t. This time, penalties and some typical Warrior blunders caused them to squander the short-lived lead. Waterloo was flagged for 17 penalties, totalling a dizzying 157 yards. In fact, Waterloo penalties accounted for eight of Windsor’s 19 first downs. Two crucial and questionable
STUDENT, GOHOME. CHEAR are garage
calls set the stage for Windsor’s winning touchdown. With the Warriors leading 11-9 early in the fourth quarter, they were called for pass interference on two consecutive plays, The second call put the ball on Waterloo’s one-yard line. From there, running back Chris Porter rolled in for what would prove to be the game-winner. “That was just a terrible interference call,” said McMann. The Warri&s didn’t roll over, and charged right back into Windsor territory. But on a third down and four gamble from the Lancer 2!-yard line* the Warriors came several agonizing inches short of a first down. A few plays later9 Porter went on an 88-yard touchdown scamper to put the zip lock on another Warrior season of ,futility, The 88-yard sprint turned a mediocre day into a phenomenal one for Porter. He finished the afternoon with 159 yards on 18 carries, taking care of most of Windsor’s 242 offensive yards. Porter also rambled in for all three Lancer majors. “The defence played a super game,” boasted McMann, “There was only the one letdown. Until that 88-yard run, they had held Windsor to under 100 yards rushing.” Yet much like most of the previrus outings’ a solid defensive effort was overshadowed by costly blunders. Nine giftwrapped points allowed the Lancers to take a 9-I lead to the dressing room at halftime, The Warriors fumbled on their own four-yard line, setting the stage for Porter’s first m&jor. Waterloo later conceded a safety touch when Lenait elected to give up the two points rather than punt into a gale force wind

from his own end zone. Peter Tchir’s missed field goal attempt gave the Warriors their only point of the half, A faint glimmer of hope shone through when the Warrior? bolted to an 11-9 lead in the third quarter. Running back Tom Chartier broke loose for a 24yard touchdown romp, Waterloo’s third offensive major of the season and fifth overall. Tchir nailed a da-yard field goal to give the Warriors their brief lead. WARRIUR NOTES: McMann’s already picking up the pieces to prepare for the 1989 season as he travels to Toronto this week to recruit some much needed high school talent. Recruiting is even more crucial for next season with the departure of key veterans... The Warriors were outscored, 187-54 in 1988. That works out to an average loss of 27-8... Don’t think the Warriors didn’t leave a positive mark on the OIJAA in 1988 -three players registered single-game individual pecords. Lenart had the longest rush (66 yards], Larry Vaughn registered -the longest punt return (103 yards) and Jim Harding booted the longest punt at 66 yards.

The Warriors currently share top spot in the tough OUAA Centrala ---division with the. University -. mm. oi Western Ontario Mustangs after two tough weekend encounters. Friday night the UW bus pulled into St. Catharines as the Warriors faced off against a feisty Brock Badger squadThe Warriors edged the Badgers 3-Z on goals by James Maki, defenceman Ken Buitenhuis and Chris Glover. Sunday at home it’ was the Mike Bishop show as he stymied the powerful Western Mustangs and saved a point for the Warriors. Bishop stopped 33 of 35 Western drives and the Warriors fought back for a two all tie. In the first period on Sunday afternoon, the Warriors and the Mustangs traded singles. John Dietrich tallied first for Waterloo while former Kitchener Ranger Scott Tottle knotted the match for Western. The Mustangs combined furious forechecking and a solid transition game in centre ice to control the play. Waterloo managed only six shots on Toronto keeper Mike James while Bishop was peppered with IL The second frame stuttered along with close checking and plenty of stoppages. Western continued its ciominance into the face-off circle consistently drawing the puck into its control, Waterloo was presented with a powerplay opportunity midway in the period, The Warriors were confident moving the puck and their bodies to open ice but a sharp James kept the score tied. Last year’s all-Canadian, Mike Bishop is an alert, intelligent goaler, but the minute he leaves .his front porch, he has the mobility of a Sherman tank, Bishop was caught roaming as he looked to foil a Mustang bfeakaway gallop. Bishop failed to get comfortable in his crease as-the puck squirted into the slot, and Western’s David Jones put up the go-ahead goal with 4:~ remaining in the period, After whistle shenanigans continued throughout the period as Waterloo players sought to protect a sprawling Bishop scrambling after countless loose pucks left on his door step. With six seconds left in period two, coach McKee pulled his goaltender for the sixth attacker as the Warriors were left wit,h a face-off deep in the Western zone, He forgot his lack of success on the draw as the Mustangs were able to control the
puck and close out the period, As a result of powerplay opportunities, the Warriors were able to close the shooting gap but still were outshot IO-XI by the visitors. Uw’s hardworking centre, Todd Coulter, was reunited with winger Jamie McKee, This potent pre-season line probably hopes to rekindle McKee’s scoring touch. Western took two quick highsticking minors, leaving Waterloo with five skaters on three. Steve Linseman controlled the face off with his foot. Brad Geard garnered the assist as lx screamed a missle at James: Dan Tsandelis was waiting for the riccochet and tucked it in behind the helpless net minder at ~18. The lanky Ken Buitenhuis was the lone bright spot on the UW defence. Buitenhuis demonstrated excellent skating and stick handling as he chugged to the offensive zone with the rubber, The book on Waterloo, however is that they consistently fail to utilize their defence. men in the transition game over

centre ice, with the forw,ards consistently clearing the defensive zone before the puck. Western demonstrated the effectiveness of qthe blue liner without the puck jumping into the break with the third forward covering the open position. Extra-curricular9 after the whistle bogged down play as regulation time ticked down with Bishop scrambling for rebounds. In the five-minute suddendeath overtime,. Linseman was robbed of a chance to be the game hero by the lightening glove of Mike James. A barometer of the Warrior season yet to come, this. game was portent of potential to lead the Central division with extra discipline devoted to defence.

Karen is being recognized for her performance this weekend as the Athenas split a pair of games; defeating the University of Windsor Z-I and losing 3-0 to the University of Western Ontario, Karen helped Waterloo to rally and overcome a chippy Windsor team by contributing on all of Waterloo’s points. Karen assisted on the Athenas’ first marker by executing a picture perfect corner kick that was nodded into the back of the goal. She tallied the winner by lofting a rainbow, again from the corner position directly into the Lancer net.

The Waterioo Warriors are playing perfect basketball. O.K., so it’s still early in the pre-season, but their 2-0 record indicates coach Don McCrae has something brewing over at the PAC. The Warriors registered their second victory last Friday (0ctober 21) in Toronto, lambasting the lowly Ryerson Rams, 87-53. What’s most impressive about the win is that all Waterloo players logged court time, and no Warrior played more than 25 minutes, McCrae is definitely taking a good look at all his troops. Only Jeremy Moore and Lance Lockhart, both scratched due to injuries9 didn’t join in the feast. The outcome was never in doubt in this one, as Waterloo took a 33-25 lead to the dregsing room at half-time. The Warriors blew the Rams clear out of Metro with a 15-3 avalanche to open the second half. Veteran Tom Schneider, already emerging as team leader, paced UW with 22 points+ pumping in three three-point howitzers in the process. John Bilawey chipped in 15 points, and was a human rebounding machine, grabbing nine boards when the score eri were looking, and at least six more when they left for coffee. John Clark added nine points while fresh Andy Zeinchuk hooped eight, After two years of successful basketball, the Rams have returned to their pre498fi woeful ways. On Friday, the Rams proved they might need a shooting clinic in the near future. They shot a nauseating 31 per cent from the floor and an equally glum IGfor-25 from the faul stripe. But McCrae attributed much of this ill-fated shooting to Waterloo’s hounding on defence. “We played a very efficient defensive game,” said McCrae. “We had a lot of energy and played a good pressure defence. We took the ball off of them alot at the start of the second half.” Starting today (Friday], McCrae will get a better indication of where his team stands as Waterloo starts a three-day tournament in Winnipeg. The tournament, hosted by the Winnipeg Wesmen and the Manitoba Bisons, includes the Carleton Ravqns, the Regina Cougars, the Alberta Golden Bears, Ryefson and two-time defending CIAU champions, the Brandon Bobcats. McCrae feels the voyage to-Manitoba is the first barometer of his club’s abilities. “tt’s so early right now, but this weekend out west is a good place to find out what’s going on,” said McCrae. “We’ll be playing three days in a row against teams who traditionally start earlier than we do. It will be a good test for us.” McCrae noted that most western teams sjart playing on September 1, acd by the middle of October are virtually ready to begin league play. “They’re in fine form, all ready for league play, They’ll find some holes in us.” The Warriors face the traditionally highly-ranked Cougars today. Winnipeg and Carleton are also in UW’s half of the draw. Waterloo fans will get an overdose of Warrior basketball in upcoming weeks. Next Friday (November 4, UW hosts the York Yeomen at the PAC at 8 p.m., while Waterloo’s infamous Naismith Classic begins November 11 at noon, ’

Gueiph OUAA/OWlAA by &win shoom Tomorrow, October ~9, the University of Guelph hosts the OUAAKIWIAA Cross-Country Championships. One of the primary goals of the University of Waterloo will be to erase some bad memories. Last year, Waterloo’s teams got stuck in an elevator the night before the race. It showed the next day. The top-ranked Warriors had no lift, as they finished a disappointing fifth, The Athenas, meanwhile, plummeted toward the basement of the OWIAAs, placing ninth. ’ This year’s edition of the Warriors has been a pleasant surprise. In what was to have been a rebuilding year, the Warriors go into the OUAAs ranked third. Western is the favourite to win. Only the top two teams qualify for the November 5 CIAU championships at Laval, but the contest between Queen’s, Toronto, and Waterloo for second is too close to call.
.
.
The Warriors will be led by Paul Ernst, Having placed second or third in alkof his university races so far this season, the second-year science student will be after hi? first OUAA medal tomorrow. The long, rolling course is well suited to Ernst’s gritty running 8tyle. Only one member of the Warrior team which finished fifth at the CIAUs two years ago will be running tomorrow. Chris Rogers, now captain of the Varsity team, has develtiped into a top ten threat. A third-year civil engineer, Rogers has become a key member of the team, along with sophomore Kinesiology student Scott McLellan. McLellan is a nationally-ranked steeplechaser, noted for his head-down, straight-ahead running style. Waterloo’s depth really begins to shine with veterans Al Faulds and Shamir lamal and transfer student Peter Self. Faulds, in math, and fourth-year Kin student Jamal present a contrast in styles, with Jamal noted for his fluid running motion and Faulds
X-country
noted as more of a grunt. Faulds and Jamal finished within five
places of each other at the
Guelph warmup meet on CICtober 1st. Rounding out the team is rookie Terry Gehl, who -adds some more speed to the team, while grizzled veteran John Gonos serves as the Lalternate. The Athenas, meanwhile, have been rejuvenated by an injection of new talent. Five of the eight team members are rookies, but Assistant Coach Andy Heal predicts 9 finish of fifth or better in the OWIAA Championship race. Heal foresees a dogfight with Windsor, McMaster, and Guelph for the spots behind perennial powerhouses Toronto apd Western, Atheng captain Jill Francis, a second-year health studies student, is blossoming intci a topnotch runner. She will be disappointed with anything outside the top ten, Marci Aitken, a kin fresh, has not been far behind Francis all season, and Lisa Laffradi and Charla Spinney give the Athenas some solid

With few games remaining in the regular season, only 1 team out of 26 still has a perfect record. Dawson’s Datigs, in the A league, has a 5-0-o record after defeating Renison College, the only other team up to that point with .an untarnished record. In the B division there are two teams, Iritih Toast and East Cmen battling it out for first lace. IFA, on the other hand, rl as 9 points to all but lock up first place in the C division, All teams will make the playoffs but the prestige of first place gives a team the best seeding in the sudden death playoff round. Participation this year has been excellent, only two defaults up to the Oktoberfest week. Let’s hope the enthusiasm continues into the playoffs this weekend (Sat,urday and Sunday October 29,30) on the Columbia fields.
