City elections; this Monday Homaco -Y

Nov. 14 is Municipal election day. This will probably be the first opportunityfor many UW students to cast a ballot for the councillws and mayor of the Gity of Waterloo. In 1986, the turn-out of students at the polls hovered around the four percent mark. This year, the city's clerk office is not expecting to see a flood of studentsat the polls - located in the Campus Centre or in the community. This is the last issue before Monday's election. If you want to elect councillors and a mayor who will treat students as fulJ citizens of Waterloo then VOTE. You must swear an affidavit at the clerk's office or at a polling stetion. Phone t stop ignoring City WII.

Dear Students: On November 14, you will have the opportunity to vote in the Waterloo municipal elections. _ There are issues in this election that are of direct concern to you such as housing, public transit and other services. As the architect of “Tent City” on the University of Waterloo campus in 1974, I know about the problems students have in finding adequate housing. As a former president of students council, at the University of Waterloo, I am attuned to your concerns. During the years you are in Waterloo getting your education, you will spend tens of thousands of ’ dollarson tuition, books and living costs. Your funds will fuel the local economy and. therefore you should have a say in what happens in the City of Waterloo. The 6nly tiay you will have a 5 say is to elect members to city council who know and are concerned about your views. The past three years I worked hard ok issues of concern to you - housing, transit, recreational facilities and better fire protection. I If you believe that there should be members on city council attuned to your problems, and who know about student life, then you must do your part VOTE. You may vote from one to eight council members. Telegdi is an easy name to remember if you think of TELEGRAM. On November 14, send a TELEGRAM to city hall by voting for ANDREW TELEGDI. .

ing tax should also pay. With regard to environment, the NDP- has a more long-standing and deeply felt concern than the other parties. The environment is close to reaching the point of no return, and students should share that concern. Many students are single parents and as such will be affected by child care ‘policies. The PC policy puts half the money toward tax breaks; we would put it toward spaces. We can create double the spaces for the same amount of money. Imprint: You mentioned your party’s commitment to the environment. What specifically do you propose to do in regards to that issue? Piatkowski: First of all, the minister would be on the Planning and Priorities Committee; the environment is as important as defense, finance, foreign affairs, etc. We would also include offenses against the environ,ment in the Criminal Code. Polluters wouldn’t just get fines which they see as the cost of doing business but corporate executives would pay out of their pockets and could go to jail. The desecration against the environment is more permanent than other crimes against property and demonstrates just as much lack of concern for humanity.
“The very rich should pay their fair share.” Imprint: Free trade is the single most important issue’in this election campaign. What is your position on it? Piatkowski The Free Trade Agqeement is an unacceptable surrender of Canada’s right to make her own decisions. It must be stopped! Imprint: How do you think Waterloo will be affected by free trade? Piatkowski: The manufacturing sector will be decimated. Many of our top employers will move to the U.S. Imprint: What are you going to do about the businesses which will suffer under the agreement? Piatkowski: The best way to prevent the casualties of the Trade Deal is to stop the deal from going into effect. Imprint: How will university education and students in this country be affected by free trade? How do you think it might affect the exodus of top quality Canadian professors to American universities? Piatkowski: There will be pressure to “Americanize’* our educational system. Government support for education will likely be challenged as an unfair subsidy by the Americans. The exodus of top-quality academics to the United States is already a great problem. Free trade will further reduce the incentives to stay in Canada, because the deal will lead to a southward pull for industry and high tech. Academits will congregate where the jobs are. Imprint: What negative ramifications in trade with the U,.S. do you foresee if a new government headed by your party were to renege on the deal? How would these compare to the possible negative effects of following through with the deal? Piatkowski: Proponents of the deal contend that stopping it would lead to retaliation by the U.S. This is debatable, but there can be no debate about the negative effects of carrying through with the deal. In any case, what
Undeterred by his youth, ‘Scott Piatkowski promises tax fairness, improved university funding and the end of free trade. He also pledges-to exert pressure on other levels of government to outlaw exclusionary bylaws. Canadian government would succumb to this sort of blackmail? ImDrint: With two universities in this riding, how do you view, the issues of underfunding, overcrowding, high students/professor ratios and the general insensitivitv of the current Drovincial and iederal governmknts toward the post-secondary system in Canada? What solutions do you offer to these problems? Piatkowski: Most federal politicians would tend to avoid this question, claiming that post-secondary education is a provincial responsibility. The federal government does have a role to play in underfunding. I think students have recognized that and that’s why they’ve formed the Canadian Federation of Students. I believe that the federal
qualify of education be compromised in such a scenario? Piatkowski: Accessibility must be balanced against quality of education. Under the current level of funding, overcrowding would occur. The NDP does support greater accessibility of post-secondary education; that’s one of the main reasons why we should increase funding. Imprint: Exclusionary bylaws are an important issue facing students in Waterloo and other university communities, They have been called discriminatory: how can we say that certain people can live in an area and others can’t? If there are to be discrimination laws in Canada, is this not a prime example? What is your position on these bylaws? What can be done about exclu-

Imprint: What can be done to help the situation of underfunding in the province’s universities? Piatkowski: Ontario is the rich&t of Canada’s provinces, and should fund universities accordingly. Since the federal government funds the provinces through transfer payments, it can persuade Ontario to bring funding to an acceptable level, Imprint: Do you think a postsecondary education shotild be available to every eligible high school ‘graduate or would the

As a Member of Parliament, I will exert pressure’on other levels of government. Imprint: What ca’n be done about the shortage of affordable student houbing in this city?

It’s not fair for a group of middle aged men to assume they can govern the country. I’m trying to get votes from all over, although students might be more inclined to vote for me because I’m a student. Student voter turnout is usually low, and of those who do vote we (the NDP) do well. With me as candidate, it could improve. Imprint: The NDP has indicated that it favours Canada’s withdrawal from NATO. Would you care to elaborate and state your position? Piatkowski: Both NATO and the Warsaw pact made sense at the height of the Cold War, In 1988, however, they are anachronisms. In addition, the U.S. has come to dominate an alliance that was built to counter their power. For these reasons, I support Canada’s withdrawal from NATO.

How do you feel about the specifics of the DND’s White Paper? Specifically on the purchase of nuclear powered submarines, does Canada need to spend such large sums of money on defense? Piatbowski: The Conservative White Paper fails to break free from outdated Cold War rhetoric. A part of it reads: “The single greatest threat to Canada’s security is that of Soviet nuclear attack.” Such fears are belied by the reality of current international relations and have led the Conservatives to plan the purchase of nuclear submarines. These subs are an environmental hazard, a violation cf our commitment to nuclear non-proliferation, and a waste of valuable taxpayers’ money.

jobs
Start -search early by Diane
Smith
The snow has started falling and it is time to start thinking about winter, right? Wrong. Now is the time to start thinking about summer jobs for 1989. Statistics show the best jobs are gone by February, so November is a good time to start looking. Career Services suggests establishing a six month timetable, which begins in November, by checking the summer job binders at the Career Resource Centre in Needles Hall. The ,December break is a good time to complete your resume and start talking to people about the location of job possibilities. They further suggest you register with the Canada Employment Centre for Students in early spring and-continue sending resumes and following up on the applications you have sent out. By April, the service predicts, you should have a summer job that will add to your summer fun, and provide experience that
can help you in your career. Information in the Career Resource Centre suggests that “success in finding a job is more closely related to one’s own efforts than to any other single factor.” But many students are not sure how or even where to look. The Career Resource Centre has job applications for government programs such as Summer Experience ‘89 and the Career Oriented Student Employment Program (COSEP). As well, there are jobs with the National Research Council, the Coast Guard, and many others. They also have private sector job applications for companies like Bell and Syncrude. Students heading home to smaller communities for the summer can check for job opportunities with their local Chamber of Commerce and Student Employment Centre. When summer ‘89 starts, you will be glad you started looking early instead of waiting until April and your terrific job will make your summer even better.

Or should they be sent home because there are other people waiting to get into Canada who are following the proper procedure? Pfatkowski: All refugee claimants deserve a proper hearing to determine the merits of their case. The current backlog of claimants is Largely a function of the government’s refusal to hire more immigration officials and their failure to impose visitor visa requirements quickly enough on arrivals from countries like Brazil, Portugal and ‘Turkey. Imprint Are you in support of the government’s refugee bill? Piatkowski: The Conservative refugee bills (C-55 and c-68) are in violation of international and Canadian law (specifically the UN Convention on the Status of Refugees and -the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms). They place refugees at risk and threaten refugee-aid workers with prbsecution. Imprint What about abortion? What is your position on the issue? Would you favour a free vote in Parliament on this issue? Piatkowski: Abortion is a personal decision to be made by a woman in consultation with her family and with a doctor. I would hope that the members of the next Parliament would not be so arrogant as to try to impose their moral views upon society. No new abortion law is needed! Imprint: The NDP is sometimes perceived as espousing social welfare issues at the expense of the needs of business. What, if anything, does your party do to support businesses? Piatkowski: The NDP has traditionally supported small businesses. The Tories support large, American business - in the last four years, foreign business took more jobs out of Canada than it put in. Small businesses provide the mostjobs. The NDP proposes tax breaks and subsidies; these subsidies, by the way, are the

by Student Vocational Advisor For those who will be participating in the Graduating Students Interviews, you should remember that ‘ACCIS’ forms and resumes must be handed in by no later than November 18. Although these forms can be a real pain to complete, it is important to get an early start so you can be assured of a quality product. For those not participating in GSI, keep readingfor some hints which will help you when filling out ACCIS or other job application forms. The main point to remember when filling out these forms is that the employer is evaluating everything you put‘on the form. Not only do they examine the information provided, but also the presentation of the material is of vital importance. A general important point to remember is to express yourself clearly and logically. Accuracy is essential. Neatness good vocabulary and spelling are very important. Explain how your experience relates to the position to be filled, These forms should be typed, not handwritten. A typed product not only improves the appearance of the form, but it also allows you to write more without making the page look overcrowded. One of the hardest areas to complete on this form is the back page, which asks you to show how your experience (educational, extra-curricular and work) is relevant to the position which you are applying. This area takes the place of a covering letter if applying with a personal resume. Without being repetivive, link your experience to the specific job, or, if a job’description is not available - to the company. To best answer this part, it is essential that you research the<position and company you are applying to so your abilities and experience can be well tailored. Make the employer feel you are applying to his or her company and job. It is - do not leave it blank; this would critical this area bezanswered suggest to the employer a lack of interest and creativity. This article gives only a brief overview of the various pa& of the ACCIS form.

Changing by Howard
R. Woodhouse
Dr. Woodhouse is an educationa consultant and academic advisor at the University of Waterloo.
Conventional wisdom suggests there is but one future path for Canadian universities to follow. It consist of vocational training or co-operative education along with greater links with business, and is designed to replace curiosity-based research with applied research and technology transfer, The goal is the total integration of the university into the marketplace. In some cases, this is fast becoming a reality. But there are other ways for universities to grow without being absorbed into the business world. One strategy is for the university to adopt independent or selfdirected learning. This approach is gaining a foothold in the Cana-. dian school system, and enables students to exert increasing control over the learning process. Students then come to make decisions about the structure, content and direction of what they learn. _ The role of professors changes but remains crucial, They now act as tutors, resources and guides in the students’ quest for knowledge. For example, students .wishing to learn about a particular field meet professors individually or in groups. Pro-

fessors then suggest readings for discussion and papers to write, designlearning priorities in conjunction with student needs, lecture when appropriate, and recommend authorities on and off campus whom students may wish to consult. A second option is the-development of integrated knowledge from different fields of studies. Students learning independently about cognitive science, for example, .would appreciate that it incorporates several intersecting disciplines, including artificial intelligence, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology. Without being authorities in all these disciplines, professors can discuss their various methods of analysis.In other words, students and professors engage in a critical interrogation of the disciplines comprising cognitive science. Of course, there are professors who already allow students to learn in these ways. Unfortunately, they are not encouraged by their employers to do so, Informal learning is too often played down even at the graduate level. These tasks are rarely rewarded for purposes of promotion and tenure, merit pay, or access to research grants. The chief criteria for these are committee work and publications.. Too often, teaching comes a poor third, Furthermore, increasing specialization in a distinct discipline is regarded as the only way to further one’s career. With some exceptions, generalists are
seen as odd people out. Clearly, students suffer most under this odd regime, since they are denied the ejtcitement of an ongoing discussion of ideas with authorities in their chosen disciplines. Different universities have responded to these problems in various ways. Perhaps. the best known independent study program in Canada is that of McMaster University’s medical school. Founded in the late 19609, the program is based on small-group discussion+ simulated cases and problem-based learning. This means a half-dozen students at a time, in dialogue with their tutors, analyze the psychological, medical, and social aspects of the “patient’s” disease and pursue ways to solve the problem. The aim is to enable students tb discover the principles and information needed to solve biomedical problems and to develop a sense of caring for both patients and the common good. This model of medical education has been adopted by Harvard University medical school’s Pathway Program and medical schools in more than a dozen developing countries. More recently, the arts and science program at McMaster has adopted a common curriculum for highly qualified students in sciences, mathematics, literature, philosophy, and the creative arts. The program uses the probl’em-based learning approach in at least one seminar and in the independent research comprising thi final project
chosen by the student. Even closer to the McMastel medical school model is that -of the independent studies pro? gram at the University of Waterloo, also founded in the late 1960s. Students. in the program graduate not by accumulating course credits but by writing an undergraduate project or thesis. As at McMaster, women comprise a significant proportion of the student body. The aims of the program are to enhance independent learning and the integration of knowledge, and to allow students to participate in running the program, Not surprisingly, several of the program’s more than 200 graduates have gone on to McMaster medical school. Other graduates include the director of policy for Ontario Premier David _ Peterson, entrepreneurs in such fields as investment and financial services, publishing and microcomputing, and graduate students in business, law, journalism, music, and the history and philosophy of science. Dalhousie University has expressed an interest in developing a program modelled along the same lines, and several liberal arts colleges in the United States are in close contact with the program. Recently, the University of Waterloo published a report, entitle Planning for the Fourth decade, that urges the adoption of independent learning and in, tegrated-knowledge as the basis of the university’s entire curriculum. Largely the work of Dr. Tom Brzustowski, now deputy minister of colleges and univer-
sities for Ontario, the report is evidence that Canadian universities now recognize the importance of independent study. Why, then, do independent study and integrated knowledge offer a vision of the university independent of business links? First, to think independently and critically about a discipline or about reality is to question the norms or laws that govern them. Once embarked on the voyage of critical inquiry, students are led to question the justification of authority in any field of study. This is as true of mathematics as it is of business ethics, Students engaged in independent study may eventually coml, to question the foundations of our society. Second, the process of inquiry makes possible an open communication among partners engaged in pursuit of knowledge. Dialogue and participation in the ways in which inquiry is conducted within the university strengthen its grawth as an autonomous institution, The university would theri be in a better position to decide which kinds of applied research and technology transfer it wished to engage in. Structures would exist for open discussion about the specifics of each proposal; allowing an informed and democratic consensus within the university. As a result,. the university would be in a stronger position vis-a-vis powerful business interests, since it could now justifiably claim to represent a _democratic community engaged in the pursuit of truth.

In an effort to reassure the university community that Imprint is concerned about the advertising policy of the newspape.r, this week’s editorial exposes a topical article on the rights of campus advertisers, The context of the article is American; however, some valuable insights into the- rights of student publications and their clients can certainly be gained. The January 1988 article originally entitled “What Rights Do Campus Newspaper Advertisers Have?” appeared in the ‘campus legal monthly Perspective. For discussion purposes, (Canadian info is being’ sought), the Perspective article does not specifically address objectifying women in advertisements. The implication is that a student newspaper - funded by student fees and whose editor is elected by students (as is the case with Imprint) does have the right to accept or reject material as is seen fit. If this premise holds true when Canadian logic is applied, certainly Imprint would be in a legal position to whimsically reject advertising based on decisions supported by staff, One consequence this newspaper hopes people will consider is that in the event a strip club’s ad or any other advertisement is rejected, the reason will be because, the ad was obscene, libelous, discriminated on the basis of sex, or ‘race, or because Imprint’s readers overwhelmingly found the ad unwarranted for publication in their newspaper. The particular strip club ad in question is considered valid in legal terms (It is not obscene, libelous or discriminatory.). It is most crucial, that before the peers of UW students at other institutions of higher learning across the country see or hear that UW students did force their official student newspaper to reject such an ad, that this is truly what the between IZ,OOO-15,000 people who read Imprint each week actually wanted! Next week Imprint will carry an interview with a stripper as well as a representative of the Canadian Coalition against Media pornography.
COMMENT
1988
Rights of campus An Idaho businessman claims loss of income because a student newspaper refuses to run his advertisement. In Texas, parties dispute a “tasteless” photograph intended to accompany a college newspaper ad. In Nebraska, a court order allows a campus paper to refuse ads stating sexual orientation preferences. “Freedom of the press” is much discussed and litigated, both on and off campus, Most of the attention has focused on articles, not advertising, but advertising is an important part of most college newspapers. Current disputes over newspaper advertisements at the University of Idaho, Texas Tech University, and the University of Nebraska point up the need for institutions and student editors to carefully examine advertising policies. Is commercial speech, such as advertising protected under the First Amendment? What controls, if any, is advertising in the campus press subject to? Careful review and application of known standards is the best protection from damage awards that col-, lege papers can get. Only in recent years have the courts extended constitutional protection to advertising in general. A 1964 case, New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, helped define “editorial (issue-oriented) advertising.“ The US. Supreme Court ruled that an ad objecting to treatment of black citizens could not be rejected based on content. According to the court, the ad dealt with “matters of the highest public interest and concern,” and thus deserved constitutional protection. The high court expanded First Amendment protection of newspaper advertising content in 1975, ruling that an ad for a New York abortion service was protected in a Virginia publication, despite a Virginia statute making it illegal to “encourage or promote” abortions. The Court said that protected speech does not lose its protected status just because it appears in a commercial form, It found that the ad contained “factual material of a
clear public interest” on an issue of public debate. Bigelow v. Virginia, 421 U.S. 809. Similarly, the Supreme court extended First Amendment protection to newspaper ads listing prescription drug prices. The state of Virginia also barred these ads; but the Court again found that the material is of public concern, giving protection to purely commercial speech prom_ oting free enterprise, Virginia State Board of Pharmacy v. Virginia Citizens’ Consumer Council, 425 U.S. 748 (1976). (Advertising that is misleading, false, or deceptive is always subject to regulation, on and off campus.) ’ In general the courts have ruled that privately owned newspapers need not accept particular commercial or editorial advertising. Chicago Joint Board , V. Chicago Tribune Co., 435 F.2d 470 (1970). This principle translates to student newspapers at private schools, allowing them to closely control their content. At public institutions, however, the courts have said that a campus newspaper that accepts any ads must accept editorial advertising. The test case here involved the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in the late 1960s. The student paper staff had three times refused to print issue-oriented advertising on such matters as employee unions, discrimination, race relations, and the Vietnam War. The school enforced a faculty-staff committee rule against editorial ,advert ising. Students claimed the paper’s refusal to print their ads was unlawful censorship, and sued. A federal court agreed, noting that student newspapers are important forums for the “dissemination of opinions and expression of opinion.” Letters to the editor, the court found, are not an adequate outlet for editorial content. The decision was upheld on appeal. “A state public body ,(university) which disseminates .paid advertising of a commercial type may not reject other paid advertising on the basis that it is

editorial in character,” the appeals court wrote, The rule banning editorial ads was a university, not newspaper, palicy, Thus it was a state action. Lee v. Board of Regents of State ColIege, 306 FSupp. 1097. (College editors can still review ads in advance and lawfully refuse them if they are obscene, libelous, or subversive. Howevever, they can’t refuse an ad simply because doing so would “protect the university from embarrassment ,” Lee.) In Mississippi Gay Alliance v. Goudelock, 536 f.2d 1073, a homosexual interest group tried to place ads in the student newspaper at Mississippi State university. The, editor refused to publish them. Student members of the Alliance sued, claiming a First Amendment violation. The court noted that the paper’s faculty advisor, and the school administration, did not participate in the decision !o refuse, and ruled the editor had the right “to accept or reject such material as he saw fit.” The appeals court agreed, on the ground that the action was not state-supported or sponsored. The higher court noted the paper was supported by student fees, and that the editor was elected by students, not the university. In addition, the court took note of the fact that state statutes prohibit homosexual contact, saying’the editor has a right to keep the paper free from entanglement in illegal activities. Where does that leave rent student newspaper tising cases?
the curadver-
At the University of Idaho, the student paper has been found not liable for a businessman’s projected loss of income in its refusal - for legitimate reasons - to run his advertisement. The student editors of the Argonaut refused the ad offering paint guns and pellets for use in popular campus games. It contained language they interpreted as calling city council members communists, and they feared libel lawsuits; A state judge sided
with the editors, refusing to award the businessman claimed damages of $2,500. “Tasteless” (not “obscene”) was the description the Texas Tech student paper gave in refusing to run a photograph in a 1985 ad placed by a local photographer. Under a recent out-ofcourt settlement, however, the original ad will rlin with the photograph; .and The University Daily has agreed to pay legal fees of $3,000. The school’s director of student publications, a state employee, is the one who rejected the photograph. Attorneys for the state agreed to settle after deciding that iince the person who turned down the ad wasan employee of the state, her refusal could be interpreted as unconstitutional state censorship. And in Nebraska, the state American Civil Liberties Union has decided not to appeal the decision allowing the Daily Nebraskan to reject ads stating sexual preference or orientation. Some students had attempted to place classified ads’ requesting homosexual roommates; the student editors rejected them as discriminat ory. For college newspapers, advertising presents legal difficulties. However, such cases as Lee and Mississippi Gay Alliance provide basic guidelines for policy making: - Editorial advertising is considered constitutionally protected speech. - Newspapers at private colleges are not bound by the First Amendment to the extent that they must accept all forms of advertising. - If newpapers accept commerciaI advertising, they must then accept issue-oriented, or editorial, advertising. - College newspapers do not have to publish advertising that is obscene, libelous, or incites unlawful actions. - The extent of state control and influence determines whether refusal to run an ad is state-sponsored censorship. Students acting without administrative control or guidance can exercise editorial discretion. For more information about Perspective, call (608] 249-2455.

Are our “friends” the animals just like us? What does our contradictory and excessive relationship with them reveal about ourselves? Last month a saga began off Alaska’s coast capturing the attention of the world. Three 30foot-long California grey whales named Bone, Bonnet, and Crossbeak found themselves in dire straights. The youngsters (5 to ,20 tonnes each) had delayed their departure from their feed.ing in the Beaufort Sea and became trapped by an unusually heavy layer of ice. The whales have to surface to breathe about every four minutes, making the five mile swim to the open sea without a “breather” impossible. A frantic mission began. The local Inuit carved out fresh breathing holes with chain saws. Environmentalists, oil industry personnel, the Alaska National Guard and even Soviet ice breakers joined in. All this activity was avidly watched by millions. The whales’ initial hole, only 50 yards from shore, made regular television coverage possible. Major-General John Schaeffer of Alaska’s National Guard said: “It’s like going out and freeing
Bamb?, This observation perhaps best sums up this unusual incident. In a perplexing world, such an easily understandable situation quickly captured the popular imagination, But how does this highly orchestrated incident fit into our checkered history with the animal kingdom? There is little doubt the $1.5 million operation was in part inspired by a collective guilty conscience. We have not been kind to these gentle giants of the deep. Many members of the whale’ family no longer exist entirely due to our own short-sightedness. This is only part of the real dilemma raised by our recent saga. At the same moment that we cheered on the rescue efforts, innumerable other animals were suffering unnoticed. We have distinguished ourselves in our continuing efforts to liberalize ourselves and our society. In this century, the slow and painful process of addressing the rights of minorities has begun. Barriers to personhood such as race and sex, are gradually crumbling. The pattern has generally been that a disadvantaged group finds the courage to speak out, and finally the majority is forced
to listen. The question is, does this general enlightenment include those beings unable to speak ’ living out? Is the requirement for possessing rights the ability to claim those rights? Racism and sexism have rightly become dirty words; what about-“speciesism”? We live in a world where along with compassion for trapped whales we have laughter and applause for dancing bears. Think of it - a bear is taken from the wild, dressed in a skirt, and paraded around an arena with a ball on its nose. Nothing stands between us and our treatment of animals as property. We continue to have mixed feelings toward all non-human living beings. At our best moments we know the ducks and squirrels on campus earnestly desire to continue to live and fulfill their destinies. At our worst moments, behind closed doors, we choose which rights are important and which are not, The bottom line, as always, is power.

Callous-theft To the editor, On Saturday, November 5, while taking a C.P.R. course in the PAC, my girlfriend’s sweater was stolen from an adjacent coatroom while we were at lunch. The sweater, a white Icelandic hand-knit with a teal and blue neck pattern and an unfinished collar required a tremendous amount of work and was of great sentimental value. This letter is not directed at the decent moPa people on campus who would never think of harming others but the perpetrators of such crimes who do not bother to consider the emotional and financial pain that they inflict on fellow students. My first reaction to the theft was one of extreme anger as we searched the PAC area in the hopes that we could locate it. We found ourselves wondering what was in the knapsack of every ‘person we passed and I realized that my faith in the general decency of others had been shattered. I then found myself
To the editor,
wondering on how one could rationalize such a theft. Do you laugh at the fools who happened to believe in their fellow man? Is it our fault when we leave something unlocked or unguarded? What do you think ‘when you wear that sweater, use that expensive calculator that you picked up in the EMS library, or ride your bicycle wit% the front wheel that you acquired from the Psychology building? My guess is that you don’t think about the pain that your good fortune has inflicted on others but I assure you that it is real and not easily forgotten. One final note. It seems ironic that while taking a C.P.R. course [which I regard as one’s social responsibility), a potential benefactor took the liberty of robbing us. If you happen to have a sudden attack of decency, stolen articles can be returned to the Security department anonymously. Darran Edmundson 3B Physics

.Apologize Gina To the editor,
I have been attending UW for less than three months and I have picked up a copy of this paper almost every week. I admit as a new student that I am somewhat disheartened by the constant complaining by some of the students here. Letters against the handgun rating and people protesting something so simple as a beauty pageant. I’m not saying that people stating their mind is wrong, but it would be refreshing to read a letter from someone commenting about something good for a change, like the friendliness of the Turnkey staff for example. In a nutshell people should not be so critical about everything but should try being more appreciative of the good.
you don’t know what you are talking about. First. Your letter sounds exceptionally self-righteous and judgemental - not qualities of a sound argument. Second, you either unwittingly or deliberately * misunderstood the situation. Ms. Rinella never once stated or even implied that her actions were performed as VPUA. She was acting solely as a private person. Gina, you assume Ms. Rinella should first consider the implications all her actions will have as VPUA before following through with them. In other words, Ms. Rinella’s actions must be dictated by her position as VPUA. Therefore, according to you, Gina, Ms. Rinella can never express her personal opinion publicly if it is at all controversial or c,ontradictory to accepted Federation of Student policy. Get real Gina! Wendy Rinella, along with every other politician and persons in Canada [including you) has the right to express an opinion. In the case of politicians, as long as they inake clear who they are speaking for, no one can accuse them of misrepresentation or abusing their position. I personally applaud Wendy for what she did. It shows me she has strong, positive convictions. Unlike most people, she is willing to act upon them - in a civilized, non-violent way. I think if anyone otves an apology Gina, it is yqu to Wendy. You are infringing on her right of freedom of expression. you are asking Wendy to apologize because she has exercised her rights. You Gina, not Wendy, should make amends for such a blatant infringement on her rights.1 await an apology Gina.

Regarding Gina Power’s most recent demand for VPUA Wendy Rinella to apologize: Gina, have I missed something?

Regarding the photos contained in the article “Infringement of our rights” in last week’s Imprint. The caption asks: “Tasteless - yes, but is it obscene?” In response, I would like to propose that these photographs be adopted as a universal definition of obscenity. Without benefit of language, they manage to convey: a callous disregard for life, a deliberate and preplanned mutilation of the inoffensive and defenseless, and shockingly malicious cruelty as a.means to garner attention.
I would also like to ask Mr. Koch why there is no explicit mention of the photographs in the test of his article. Mr. Koch, would you please explain the context in which these photographs appear and how they are related to the purik music movement? Based on the articles title, would I be naive in assuming that the inclusion of these photographs in your article is somehow related to your ‘rights’ as a member of the punk rock audience? Do you [the punk audience] perceive this image as representing your lawful rights in society, or perhaps as a re-
presentation of how you are treated by society? Are you the gun, the hand, or the rodent? Further, I would like to know if you (or anyone who listens to this genre) believe that something positive was achieved b-y the creation’ of these photographs, besides the sale of albums. Lastly, I would ,like to know the explicit cause of the obscenity charge now being faced by the musicians in your article - was it these photographs? Roger E. Avedon 4A Systems Design

Are you one to avoid schoo!work by doing as little as possible? Do you experience pain or other symptoms (aches, visual andor *overall (body fatigue) when reading or doing computer work? Do you fall asleep or close one eye at the cost of reduced efficiency of understanding when reading? If any one or a combination of the above apply, then your eyes may be under visual stress. As a student, good visual hygiene can make significant differences in your marks, athletics and personal achievements. Case studies have indicated better coordination and self-esteem in a person whose activities concerning vision are effortless and stress free, Common symptoms that indicate your visual system is in need of help may occur during long periods of study under inadequate lighting. Poorly placed lanips or improperly shielded lamps cause shadows and glare leading to stress on the visual system. Unsuitable or dirty spectacles can also cause problems. These symptoms common amongst most of us at times: headaches, squinting, burning eyes, (or tiring) of eyes, blurred vision, _ aching, watery lowered visual performance. Such symptoms occur much more commonly in students today because of tremendous stress placed upon the’ visual system in this age of mass information and data use. It has been estimated that today’s students read three times the number of textbooks than their grandparents did! The shift to computers has placed growing numbers of workers in lengthy, near-vision tasks.. This near-vision work is related to many of the eye discomforts we suffer from. The stress on our eyes ca’n be blamed partly on human’s biological inability to do constant work at less than an arm’s length away. This inability stems from evolutionary adaptation. We naturally have “hunter-soldier eyes” for survival, enabling the spotting of game and enemies at a distance. It has only been in the last half of this century that so many people have been forced to deal with sustained near-vision tas’ks. Failure to adapt to these conditions results in constant stress on the visual system, producing eye problems. Visual stress has also been linked to refractive errors and conditions in the eyes such as nearbightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism [distorted and blurred vision). Many students, because of heavy workloads or schedules, tend to cram their studying into “overnighters.” Since the eyes have already been functioning all day, much more stress is placed on the visual system during such lengthy closereading periods. Tired eyes can be relieved by several methods. One involves first applying a co_ld compress (wet, cold face-cloth) to the face, . eyebrows, eyelids, and cheeks, then applying a warm compress to these same areas. This is done for two-three minutes to help open and close blood vessels in the facial area as well as reduce swelling from stagnant fluids. Gentle massaging with fingertips on the forehead, eyelids, and upper cheek can then be followed up to maintain normal skin tension, Recommendations from optometrists in using moisturizing drops may aid in relieving tired eyes as well.

Better visual care can be achieved by following basic guidelines: Lighting should be three times brighter on material being viewed than the rest of the room, (The dim lighting of the Campus Centre provides poor lighting for reading). Two equally placed lamps are better than one placed in a dark room. Avoid closely placed fluorescent lights which cause glare, dry, itchy, burning eyes. Mixing of fluorescent lights with incandescent lights is good. Distance of reading, writing or doing near-vision work is best done at an eye-to-activity distance equal to the length between your middle knuckle and elbow (about 14-16 inches in adults), Look’up periodically to distant objects when reading. Avoid looking directly at the green light of photocopiers. Sit straight up, chest up and shoulders back with your weight over the seat so that both eyes are equidistant”from what is seen. A tilted board of 20 degrees makes reading easier. Avoid lying on your back, side or stomach when reading or watching t.v. Write holding pen/pencil an inch or so from the tip so you can properly see and guide it without tilting your head or body to the side, Tilt the paper slightly at an angle to help in writing and visual coordination. Television viewing should be at a distance seven times the width of the screen (approx. 8-10 ft.) with indirect lamps placed to eliminate glare on the screen. Watching t,v. involves very few visual skills and should be limited to a few hours or less since excessive viewing have shown to develop poor visual skills. Participate in outdoor activities requiring sight at long distances. Proper nutrition is essential to the well-being of the eyes as well as to the rest of the body (especially vitamins B,C and its complex form, bioflavinoids, D and calcium). Deficiencies in these vitamins have been linked to glaucoma and cataract developments. Regular eye examinations with an optometrist or ophthalmologist are necessary to test vision as well as to detect eye diseases or other health problems. ’ Besides using vision for work and study, any other daily aspects also require healthy eyes such as driving, sports and coordination. Therefore, visual problems can have significant effects on the quality and enjoyment of life and proper visual care be exercised to maintain the health of your eyes and longevity of this remarkable sense. The Health and Safety Resource Network [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 helpful resources.

Ozone layer scare mongering? To the editor, In the Oct. 7 issue of the Imprint, I criticized WPIRG as being a political organization, and as such, having no justification for appearing on any official university document, much less obtaining fees less obtaining fees via the tuition statement. In passing, I mEntioned a few of the untenable theories (nuclear winter and man made ozone layer depletion) that organizations such as WPIRG insist on broadcasting. In response, one Mr. Campbell took me to task regarding my reference to the ozone layer. Allow me to elaborate. According to Webster’s, a theconsiderable eviory “implies dence in support of a formulated general principle explaining the operation of certain phenomena,” After reading the following, judge for yourselves whether or not the facts about ozone fit this definition, The July 10, 1987 issue of Science states the measured depletion of the ozone layer attributable to chlorofluorocarobns (CFCs) “might have been between 0.1 per cent or 0.2 per cent per year at most (since 19783, according to the latest consensus, but it might have been zero over that time.“
Let’s put this possible decrease in-perspective by comparing it to normal seasonal and latitudinal variations; between April and September of a given year, the ozone concentration at a latitude of 40 degrees varies on average by 25 per cent, while in May and June the difference in ozone concentration over Miami 126 degrees) and Vancouver (49 degrees) is, on average, 24 per cent. H.E. Landsberg puts it succinctly “Time series analysis of stratospheric ozone observations have yielded no trends so far. The natural fluctuations are quite appreciable and there is no hope of discovering anthropogenie influences until they exceed about 5 per cent,” But the “theory” not only fails to provide statistical data on any timescale appropriate to geephysical work, it also ignores pertinent facts. As demonstrated in the 1920s by Sir E. Appleton, atmospheric layers are self-healing. In general, “as radiation loses its energy to the molecules of the atmosphere, the concentration of the product at first increases with the distance penetrated by the radiation, but since the atmosphere becomes denser and the radiation weaker, the product concentration will decrease again,” This is true of any atmos-

I began this column last week and I observed there is a lot of skepticism and occasional hostility directed toward Christianity in the university environment. However, one of the functions of the university is to expose ourselves to new evidence and new psints of view, and to test their keasoning. This includes thinking about the ultimate questions, as to whether there is a God, what is He like, what our relationship to Him is, and so on. I concluded that if Christianity was true, then the fate of your soul is at stake, for good or for bad, which is reason to examine the issue very carefully. In this column, I want ta continue talking about the need to examine the evidence to see whether a religion, Christianity in this case; is true. This is a really important point to discuss, even though it lodks rather boring at first glance. , I’m taking as-my first premise that, for a religion or philosophy, or any way of looking at the world to be true, that it has to fit the available facts and explain why the world is the way it is. That means that you have to be able to live out your philosophy or religion in a completely consistent way in the world. Simple and acceptable premise, isn’t it? If you take this very basic premise, then it helps you to deal with one of the most difficult questions that a person who examines various philosophies or religions has to answer. The question is, how do you know which religion or philosophy is the right one? The answer is, look at the evidence for it, and dies it conflict with basic facts about the world? Ir Let me illustrate. One time, two friends and myself spent three hours talking with a Hindu lady who was associated with the World Spiritual University. During the course of the evening, she mentioned two basic beliefs this Spiritual University taught. One was that you are a soul and that it exists as a tiny pinprick in the center of the brain, and that it controls the whole body from that tiny point. That was the reason she wore the red dot in the middle of her forehead, to remind herself of her soul-dot. Another basic belief was that the world was created and destroyed every 5,000 years in a never ending cycle. She was sincere, but let’s look at the facts. First, a brief knowledge of neuro-anatomy will tell you there is no central control point to the brain. Second, the earth is not created and destroyed every 5000 years, as shown by history, archaeology, physics, etc. Her religion bluntly contradicted the available facts on very basic points. This leads to another important point. If one is looking at how well one’s religion fits the world, then it is no longer the case that one can wave off the issue by saying, “it’s just your personal view.” Ndw it is the question of “this religion or philosophy is true (or false) and what am I going to do about it?“,The Hindu lady’s religion flatly contradicted some very basic points of scientific fact and history, and thus is not true. This follows in an objective fashio,n from the first premise, and her view should be discarded or radically revised, This explains why I want to present the evidence for Christianity, so we can see how it fits the facts and explains the world. Next week I’ll discuss the Big Bang theory of how the universe began, and what implications come out of it.
pheric layer and any radiation including the production of ozone by short UV radiation in the stratosphere. Thus, even if chemical reactions deprive the shortwave UV radiation of part of its energy sink, the ozone layer will simply have a maximum at a lower altitude. _ Furthermore, there are over 100 possible reactions which may act to reduce ozone concentrations, not all of which even include chlorine. And as Prof. Klack points out “If chlorine is essential to the theory, then ocean salt raised aloft by vast ocean storms is an enormously greater source of chlorine than CFCs.”
In defense
Finally, were the scaremongering true, we would expect to see a significant increase in the amount of UV radiation the Earth’s surface. Instead it has been decreasing, by 0.5 per cent to 1.1 per cent per year since 1974. As Dr. Petr Beckmann puts it: “In its uncaring ruthlessness, Nature refuses to cooperate (with the doomsayers].” Given that its proponents fail to adduce any substantial evidence to support it, and given that the “theory” leads to predictions contrary to experiment, my assertion that “man-made ozone layer depletion” cannot be considered a scientifictheory still stands, As to Mr. Campbell’ other as-
sertions, I recommend that rather than relying on sarcasm and superciliousness to obscure and intimidate, he inform himself about the issues. He will then find that legitimate scientific and moral debate does exist concerning certain aspects of each subject he mentions. As a start, I suggest he read Bhopal: The Fruit of Industrial Policy by Rober J. Bidinotto which shows the tragedy was not the result of improper corporate conduct as Mr. Campbell’s formulation implies, but of the statist policies of the Indian government. Amit Mech

.Rousseau was riaht! To the editor, I am responding to Ray Groothuizen’s letter in the OCTOBER 28 Imprint. I disagree with your criticism (to which you seem very much attached) of the Women’s Centre and the Women’s Issues Board that they abuse their student supported funding. You may not agree with their stand but there are those who do. These organizations serve these members of the university community and also serves to promote awareness of issues which concern some women. The ideal of only sup-
porting causes which you personally believe in is through tax breaks to party supporters (just watch for campaign and party fund raising literature), and this with everyone’s taxes which unlike our Fed fee is not refundable, In the final paragraph you claim to be representing the female student body on the basis of an informal poll of six of your female acquaintances; the basis for your claim leaves much to be desired.

Waterloo cold Warriors To the editor, I am writing to comment on Marc Brzustowski’s book review of America, God and the Bomb, and Robert Tarr’s subsequent reaction. -It seems strange that each of these Waterloo cold warriors mentioned nothing about the recent thawing of relations between the two superpowers. More specifically there is no mention of,the INF treaty, or the great lessening in rhetorical ex-
We are all upper year students and we were not drunk. Nor were we going to get drunk and trash our own student pub. So why were we not allowed into our own bar for which we pay the mortgage? We were treated like drunken frosh who came stumbling in and yelling our heads off. Fed Hall is owned and operated by the Feds who are supposed to represent the students. Fed president Adam Chamberlain should exercise his power to make UW more fun. He and Fed Hall manager Chuck McMullen should realize that Fed Hall is ours to enjoy. It’s sad to see the UW tight-ass attitude in effect at the student pubs as well,
Mr. Brzustowski’s hatred of the United States amounts to racism. He hates all Americans. To him their electorate is ‘braindead’, their president ‘insane’ and their press ‘corporate, complicit’. Mr. Brzustowski does not attempt to justify these claims, because to him these facts are clear. He, cannot face the fact that there is no one source to the problems of the world. He attacks the United States because he thinks he has found the reason for the failures of all his favourite causes. It was not because of apathy or ignorance of people world-wide, It was because of the United States that these good things failed. Mr.Tarr’s view of the Soviet Union is one we are quite used to. I will do little to refute it, since his arguments (at least most of them] are at best laughable. He rightly criticized Mr. Brzustowski for making “unsupported categorical statements”, however, by stating that there are “increasingly prevalent signs that the Soviet Union is preparing to wage such a war (nuclear war)“, he has done exactly the same thing. Mr. Tarr and Mr. Brzustowski have the right to their opinions, but their hate and scare mongering message will not further the causes of world peace or security. Their advocation of hatred of entire peoples only fans the xflames of intolerance, suspicion, and fear.

Fed Hall too strict? To the editor, iast Saturday, three friends and myself were refused entry to Fed Hall. The reason for this was that the intelligent bouncer thought we were drunk. We weren’t. When my friend was asked if he had -been drinking he answered honestly “Yes I’ve had a few.” Is it a crime to have a couple of beers before going to a bar, If we had lied to the competent doorman, we would have been admitted. As I pleaded my case, several people were admitted who had obviously been drinking. One was stumbling and kept dropping his wallet. But when asked if he had been drinking, he said no. Of course the valuable Fed Hall employee believed him.

/“Safe for harids” mugs 1 To the editor, I am writing with respect to Pat Quirk’s letter about the new coffee cups used at the Turnkey desk. He’objected to the use of the old style insulated cups being discontinued without being consulted. I feel that having both the new “safe for the environment” as well as the old “safe for hands” cups available would be a fair solution, if the decision to use one cup or the other affected only the coffee drinker, but it doesn’t.
I’m sure Pat has heard the environmental arguments against the old style of cups before so I’ll just make the point that environmental damage affects everybody, now and in the future. Wouldn’t a democratic decision making process have to include many more people than just the coffee drinkers in the CC? I think the Turnkeys have made a responsible decision. As for Pat’s hands, I suggest he invest in a reusable mug.

Many people are concerned about the possibility of nuclear war, the arms race, and international conflicts. Others are worried about acid rain, depletion of the ozone layer, and the effects of thousands of hazardous chemicals being released in our environment, And most of us are saddened and frustrated by the never-ending problems faced by Third World countries, and because foreign “aid” which we give them often causes more problems than it cures. A common complaint aboutthis year’s federal election is that the parties and candidates are avoiding or ignoring public concern about‘ these and other interrelated global issues. One answer to this complaint is the Election Priorities campaign, which is quizzing candidates across the country on these issues. Election Priorities is a nation-wide educational project organized by Canadian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to ensure the candidates think about and make public their positions on questions relating to peace,‘the environment, and (sustainable) world development . Representatives of many NGOs developed a questionnaire containing 18 questions dealing with peace, environment, and world development issues in a Canadian context. Copies of this questionnaire were sent by local Election Priorities groups to candidates of all parties in ridings across Canada. Here in Kitchener-Waterloo the questionnaires were sent to candidates in both ridings and received a mostly positive response. The questionnaires were filled out and returned by candidates from the three major parties. Other can-

Its short life is spent with hundreds of others in the same dark building. When fellow living beings are treatedas commodities, be it furtive hunting for profit or wholesale mass production of perfectly legal farm “factories,” we are exposed for the exploiters we are. Our culture tells us that we are made in the image of God; animals are not accorded this honour. “Man is the measure of all things” - such thinking easily leads to “justifiable” exploitation. While many feel badly when confronted,with the unnecessary suffering and death of animals; few are willing to consider questioning the benefits, they derive from it. From the beginning of history to the present, many thinkers have devoted time and energy to identifying what supposedly separates us from all other animals.

The real Mulroney Steps forward The 1988 Federal election campaign came to Kitchener Friday, October 28 as PM, Brian Mulroney danced his free trade polka at the Transylvania Club. Refusing to acquiesce to the cries of the fiery free trade protesters, he took the lead and extolled the virtues of a Canada with Free Trade: strong, united, and for the youth. Indeed, these were the themes of his speech - ahem diatribe.
Four more years?!
x
The evening was rife with political shlock and posturing. I had the ability to wander where I wanted, so instead of freezing outside waiting for Mulroney with the legions of cameramen: /photographers that mushroom at political events, I strayed inside into a group of white-sweatshirted predominately Caucasian PC. Youth who were carrying placards. Unfortunately, elections are decided by emotion and our political system allows for -condones - shameless exercises in shaping civic sentiment like PC, Youth rallies. Shouting rehearsed slogans such as “Vote for Free Trade, Vote for Canada’s Youth,” and “Four More Years,” the PC. Youth are the product of the mob mentality and the useless parroting that is passed off as expressing political beliefs. But then I saw and heard some very
youngish Youth impatient to go outside and wave their placards in front of the protesters. Not for politics, but for fun. I wonder: is “Vote for Free&Trade, Vote for Canada’s Youth” a logical progression or even defensible? And just what does “Four More Years” mean? More on the latter later. The usually congenial Mulroney did not address the audience; he had a self-captured and already converted audience, so he was downright nasty to the other two parties. Calling arguments between Turner and Broadbent “lover’s quarrels,” defining the Socialist Dilemma as “whether to go to work or a protest” and then calling the protesters Liberals and New Democrats, he left reason aside and continuedthe tactics of the PC. Youth. Yes, he gave facts as to what his party has done for Canada, and some of them ore impressive: he claims a thousand jobs a day had been created every daysince he was elected, and that inflation has gone down every year for the last four years - a feat that hasn’t happened in over forty years. And he justifiably gloated over Canada’s new found seat on the UN Security Council. But those were about the only substantiated facts he was to give.

Inspired by their dismal financial situation, two male students. donned women’s bathing suits, noseplugs, sparkles, and grins and performed a synchronized swimming routine in a pool of guacamole in full public view. Their act was a response to the campus radio’s challenge to see -how far people would go for $5,000. The two students, known as the “Flying Fantastic Waldo Brothers”’ figured their $90 investment was worthwhile.

Steroid testing will soon become a reality for many varsity athletes at McMaster. The testing will begin in the spring of 1989 for the football team, and will probably be implemented for other teams in spring or fall of 1990.

Parking: Waterloo committed $5.7 million to solve the present parking problem. The current council proposed to spend this money to subsidize 275,000 sq. ft. development in the core by an outside developer. This development will create a further shortfall of 300 parking spaces in the uptown and is a major fiasco. We should have spent the money to solve the parking problem and not aggravate it. Outside developers are welcome but the city should not subsidize them. We have one of the best economies in South Western Ontario and outside developers should be paying their own way. Mist: Transit and housing for students are major problems. I have been the strongest voice on city council to assist ion solving these problems. I proposed that council waive lot levy charges for the construction of new student housing by the universities and the Waterloo Co-operative Residence. Student image in the community needs to be improved. The actions of a few irresponsible students damage the image of all students. I support the establishment of a mediator to work on student, landlord and neighbourhood problems. Robert Brown candidate for councillor Transportation: I will work to make the transit routes available to students more logical to sfudents’ needs. I will do this by talking to and working with your student representatives. Housing: I think the present by-law restricting the occupancy of a single-family residence to no more than five unrelated persons is essential if we’ are to maintain the integrity of the Uptown residential area. I believe that this is an important part of the Quality of Life in Waterloo. Areas that are zoned for Boarding Houses do not have the same restrictions. I will continue to support this by-law. I will also work to control the number of houses owned and rented by non-resident landlords.

I do not wish to ghettoize the students. I think that you should become part of the broader community. I am especially pleased with the work your students’ councils have done over the past few years to make our residents more receptive to students. Day Care: Day Care near the universities should be a priority, and the City of Waterloo may be able to do more to make that more of a reality than students working on your own. Town-Gown relations: I do not feel that the City of Waterloo has had very good relations with the two universities over the years. I would like to see a lot more involvement of the universities in city life and vice-versa. Priority for Daycare: I don’t believe that the City of Waterloo places any particular priority on Daycare. I believe that they would like to think that it is a Regional concern, and leave it at that. Obviously, that is not acceptable. I would work to raise this issue and give it the level of concern it deserves. Parking in Waterloo: We, des-

ported the $10.00 reduction and will support a continuation of an annual negotiation with the federations related to transit costs, ridership and routes, etc. Housing: I feel a policy of atudent dispersion, throughout the city, while maintaining the exclusionary by-laws limiting the number of unrelated persons, is the way to proceed. These policies have the advantage of eliminating student ghettos through an integration of licensed student accommodation over a wider area, while hopefully ensuring high standards in quality of life, for students and families alike. Day Care: Indications from the Ministry of Community and Social Services appear to be suggesting that day care “facilities” per se are at a very high cost, as opposed to alternatives such as supervised, authorized home day care situations. I support, however, the provision of income tested day care subsidies on a first come, first served basis, removing the priority scheme which discriminates against women, at the graduate school level. Misd: This year extra effort has been expended to enumerate all eligible student voters. Considering, however, the students

perately needed a parking garage in Uptown Waterloo. The taxpayers had set aside $5 million to build a 500 space parking garage in the Uptown. Unfortunately, the present council gave this money to a Toronto developer to subsidize a new complex on King Street. As a result, the City of Waterloo will gain fewer than 150 new parking spaces despite the total expenditure of their parking budget.’ I would work to improve- coordinated bike-paths, and to improve and subsidize the public transit system. I would emphasize links between the two universities and the Uptown in this effort. Mist: I would push for a new spectator arena jointly administered by the universities and the City of Waterloo. Problems: The biggest municipal problem facing students today is being heard by the present Waterloo City Council. I am working across the city in this election to make our council meetings more open to all citizens, which, of course, includes students.

Housing: If the Premier eliminates this legislation, the city planners have informed me that they will create other standards with which to deal with the si-tuation. I quote from the Student Housing Discussion Paper brought to council on O_cJ. 19th 1988, .“If this option is provincially approved, municipalities would likely establish regulations such as minimum building area and lot area per person or maximum building size and parking and open space requirements to control occupancy.” The solution is not a simple one then. I also don’t think you have to look far or delve deeply into the situation to realize that some by-laws are necessary to protect the area homeowners as well as the’health and safety of student renters. I think the ideal solution provides for student housing on campus. Given the reduced availability and desireability of this option for many - I support the Boarding House Dispersion option brought forth in the recent city proposal. I also endorse the threshold approach in those
Transiportation: 1 want to push for student only transit system routes directly to the Universities residential areas of the city that allow boarding house operations, Mist: Until the students are able or willing to vote, they won’t be given the attention that other special interests groups can generate. * Alex Manjuris candidate for, councillor Transportation: I want to push for student only transit system routes directly to the Universities. ’ Housing: I would promote property standards controls and zoning changes which would encourage developers, the universities and government bodies to develop a new concept of a complete student housing development near the universities which would enhance and not degrade the surrounding neighbourhood. I would support concentration as long as’it was controlled so it would not create unlivable conditions for the students and not become a neighbourhood hazzard. Day Care: Most certainly I would work toward obtaining provincial funding to establish a . day-care.f&ility - you are entitled to pursue your education without giving up parenthood. Mist: One of the biggest problems locally is the need to create a safer environment for the female population throughout university campuses. I would push for better lighting, more patrols and propose university student safety patrols.

s are3aying tion into the negotiations with Kitchener Transit. Housing: Exclusionary bylaws are a quick-fix reaction to a housing problem situation which receives pressure from many interested groups. It is unfortunate that all students are painted with the same brush when they are viewed possible neighbours. The t‘not in my backyard” philosophy is very strong in Waterloo on this issue and it is somewhat justified becauqe of concern’ over property values. I feel these by-laws discriminate and would support elimination of them. However, some form of regulation is absolutely necessary from a homeowner, safety perspective and to neighbourhood upkeep and beautification, As a possible solution I would suggest a by-law that deals with number of people in relation to the number of rooms in a house so as not to set an arbitrary cap on larger houses. I am somewhat torn between concentration or dispersion -of students, Concentration would tend to “victimize” home owners in one area and dispersion would treat all basically equal. Whatever the choice, building standards would have to be stringently enforced to ensure that the neighbourhoods involved meet high standards. Day Care: I would be more than willing to work toward establishing day-care facilities not only near the universities and colleges, but throughout the reAs a possible solution I would suggest a by-law that, deals with number of people in setation to the number of rooms in a house gion. I feel that all levels of government have been severly lacking in improving accessibility and availability. I am not convinced though that the current priority scheme addresses the issue of need for day-care with employed persons versus students. Town-Gown Relations: With the City of Waterloo having two of the finest universities, I feel there is not enough that as a city we can do, At this point I would want to meet with all parties involved to deal effectively with the issue of where we are now and where we should go from here. / Lyme Woolstencroft candidate for councillor - Transportation: I believe it is important that the City of Waterloo supports the students -both tangibly and intangibly. I will continue to support a reducedcost student bus pass for those who attend university. Housing: I believe that it is important to maintain family living in the areas near the universities; I believe that ghettos of any kind are not in the,best interests of the community. What you refer to as exclusionary by-laws in fact protect a way of life - a “quality of life” - that appeals to many. Families are protected from groups of any kind taking over residential communities. However, the by-laws works against those-who would live in the very home that they would ’ share with renters-boarders. I believe what Council should be concerned about is absenteelandlords. The housing initiatives taken by the Phillip Street Co-op and the universities combined with the lowered-cost bus pass may relieve the terrible pressure on student housing. Alternative: combined with the Student
-Housing process, it may be an ideal time to commence a sitespecific exemption examination. I believe that it will never be possible to avoid student concentration in a university city. However,. I support dispersing students throughout Waterloo. . Day Care: As a member of Regional Council and as a member of Health and Social Services Committee, I have watched (with empathy) student-parents plead for day care. I have admired their rational approach and believe that there is a strong case for day-care centres near post-secondary institutions. I have worked and will continue to work toward obtaining provincial grants for such a facility. Town-Gown: I want to establish a committee (Town-Gown) which is large, active, and broad-based; this committee would be actively finding ways
to’ bridge the university munities and the city.
com-
Blake Hull candidate for councillor Transportation: The real reason I support the pass is that it encourages the use of the bus as opposed to the automobile and hence helps to alleviate the parking pressures at the university. Housing: In the City of Waterloo we have attempted to develop safe, pleasant neighbourhoods. We have several by-laws which are designed to achieve this end,, Hence bylaws related to snow removal, weed control, parking or noise infractions are intended, in part, to do this. The number of students living in a dwelling is not restricted if the residence is a boarding house and meets the minimum criteria for safety and
about
parking. Obviously if the home is not a boarding house and the owner can’t or won’t meet the standards required for safety and parking it is inappropriate to have more than five unrelated adults in the dwelling. This in not discriminatory against students but in their and their neighbour‘s interests. Ideally I favour students being housed on campus or very near to the campus. I say- this as a former undergraduate and graduate student who appreciated the convenience and pleasure of such accommodation. The reality in Waterloo is that many of the students are dispersed. This is not a problem to the citizens of - Waterloo and certainly the students offer anot her dimension on our somewhat homogeneous subdivisions. The few problems that do occur are more often the result of absentee landlords.
YOU
Day Care: I would do what I could to assist students with their day-care problem. However, as a matter Iof priority, I would rather the province made more money available to the universities to help upgrade the quality of education they are able to provide. Mist: We must continue to look for alternatives to the automobile. Steps to improve our bikeways and our public transportation are important. I believe housing is the biggest problem. Residents need to be educated and encouraged to have students as boarders; students need to be more sensitive to the concerns and feelings of lifelong residents of Waterloo. It seems to me that we could explore having a “Host City” project to help integrate the two groups particularly in the areas of higher student concentration.

60,000 have been killed in El Salvador. D’Aubuisson-was an architect of the death squads that arose in El Salvador in the early 1980s. Groups of paramilitary men, linked closely with the nation’s army, are responsible for the murders of about 40,000 civilians since 1979. This death toll is part of the government’s war against the FMLN, a conflict that has pushed the number killed since 1979 over to 60,000. Most of the victims were impoverished noncombatants. El Salvador is now led by President Napoleon Duarte of the Christian Democratic Party, whose 1984 election campaign was funded by the CIA. He is suffering from cancer and has no apparent successor within his party, The United States has provided his country with nearly $3 billion in aid since 1981; in 1987, El Salvador became the only state in the world to have its national budget paid for entirely by the United States (American aid was slightly more than the Salvadoran budget by several million dollars). In El Salvador, the military and the United States Embassy are clearly in control. Archbishop Romero’s plea” could as easily have been directed at Canada as at the United States. Between 1982/83 and 1986/87 the Canadian government gave the government of El Salvador over $7 million dollars in bilateral aid. The use of this government-to-government money isat the discretion of the recipient, a government that has shown itself unable to control the death squads and unwilling to institute real reform,

The &my’s war against the FMLN in El Salvador has created an entire population of domestic refugees fleeing from the government’s program of “counterOperation Phoenix, insurgency.” launched in 1986, characterizes the war strategy of a government Canada claims has improved human rights conditions.

Foreign development and humanitarian aid is then used to provide for these refugees’ needs. In this way Canadian government aid becomes an important part of the military’s strategy.

nance of military power over civil institutions.” The committee pointed to cases of disappearances, kidnappings, tortures and arbitrary arrests in that report. Draimin contends that aid given to the Honduran government rarely helps the poor: industrial developments such as the El Cajon hydra-electric project, funded in part with Canadian bilateral aid, benefit mainly the government itself and multinational corporations operating there. Canada’s policy on military exports forbids the direct sale of Canadianmade arms to countries involved in hostilities, to countries that pose a military threat to Canada, to countries that the UN. has forbidden the export of arms, and to ‘*regimes considered to be wholly repugnant to Canadian values.” In 1983, the Canadian government cancelled the sale of $30 million worth of aircraft to Honduras. In May of the same year, ammunition made in Quebec’s Valcartier Industries was seen in a Contra camp in northern Nicaragua. Valcartier’s spokesperson said at the time the company’s only major exports in the past 15 years had been to the United States. Through the Defence Products Sharing Agreement (DPSA), Canada exports millions of dollars worth of defense products to the United States. Much of this export consists of components ultimately used in U.S. military equipment.
.

Some of this equipment has been exported to governments that, under Canadian export restrictions, would be prohibit.ed from receiving military equipment. The final customers for some Canadian military export to the United States have been the repressive governments of Central America; Canada is nothing less than an accomplice in the region‘s militarization. El Salvador ~bought 37 counter-insurgency aircraft built with Canadian made engines between 1974 and 1979. Cases exist of Canadian aid perverted from peaceful purposes for the military’s own use. The construction of a road built in 1980 to the Mocoron refugee camp in Honduras was given a $200,000 Canadian boost. In 1982 the refugees were cleared out of the camp to make way for a U.S.-Honduran joint military exercise and the camp became the home of a new battalion. Canadian aid also funded aerial surveys of heavily forested, and previously poorly mapped areas of Honduras near the Nicaraguan border to help establish forestry projects. The strategic use of these maps to Honduran security forces is obvious.
And the army... In the first half of 1988, death squad killings in El Salvador tripled over the 1987 toll; only last month, Amnesty International released a report documenting the rise of assassinations, tortures and abductions by death squads and the military. (In 1987, the American Civil Liberties Union warned that death squads could be operating in the United States after a number of exiled Salvadorans were abducted in Los Angeles. Nearly half a million Salvadoran refugees live in Los Angeles.) Union supporters, human rights workers and students are the death squads’ prime targets. Under Duarte, members of these squads have been given amnesty, and several officers involved in dacumented political killings remain on duty. In a 1986 report, the Organization of American States placed at 38,000 the number of people killed or abducted by the Guatemalan military over the last two decades. Most of the victims have been civilians. Amnesty International, in a February 1986 press release, called upon the government of Guatemala “to put an end to the widespread torture, disappearance and political killing carried out by government forces... ” The release further said that “regular military and security forces were responsible for most of the killings and torture.
cultural rights.” Last November, Honduras was under great pressure to act in accordance with the Arias Peace Plan against the Contra bases it has allowed to remain on its territory near the Nicaraguan border. The existence of these bases on Honduran territory flew in the face of the Arias Peace accord that Honduran President Azcona had signed only three months before. The accord called for the signatory nations - Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Honduras - to “reiterate their commitment to prevent the use of their own territory by persons, organizations or groups seeking to destabilize the Governments of Central American countries and to refuse to provide them with or allow them to, receive military and logistical, support.” Joe Clark p romised $14 million in aid to Azcona’s government during his tour of the region in November 1987. This gesture took pressure off Honduras to move against the Contra bases, and, in effect, rewarded that government’s noncompliance with the peace plan and its breach of international law. In a 1985 report, the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights in Honduras (CODEH) stated “There is in Honduras a real problem of institutionalized violence which results from the domi-
The Mulroney government, anxious for a trade deal, has not condemned the policies of the Reagan Administration in Central America; under U.S. pressure to pursue a more balanced approach to the region, Canada has resumed bilateral aid to some of the most repressive regimes in the world. This direct aid shows how Canadian policies on Central America are hypocritical: the government speaks of peace and development, supporting the Arias Peace Accord, but it then gives millions to governments in violation of that accord. The government speaks of human rights and development,, but it then sends money to the regimes that violate those rights. The government says nothing as those regimes turn rural populations into refugees, but it then closes the door to refugees in Canada. Canadian aid must be tied to the human rights performance, the level of compliance with the Arias Peace Plan, and the respect for international law displayed by the recipient governments. Canada must ensure its aid goes to governments that hold for their people the same fundamental human rights guaranteed under the Canadian Constitution If human rights are not determined.-by chance, geography or mere circumstance, but by the qualities that are common to all, then this aid to repression must be blocked. Silence is approval.

The Laughing Hyaenas kicked things off - loud music in a tortured vein. To use some tried and true rock and roll cliches, the beat was pounding, the guitars were grating, the bass was throbbing. All well and good except the vocals quickly became irritating, Sure, I like good mindless screaming as much as the next guy but there are limits. That their songs sound remarkably similar didn’t help matters either. Though the vocalist’s grimaces and frowns were pretty amusing, it wasn’t very long before I sat down and resumed drinking. Even though they score a 7.9 on the monotony meter, the bassist% beard and frenzies almost the singer’s make up for any musical deficiencies - definitely too bad we didn’t have a camera.

rock’n’roll, It wasn’t until the third song or so that they put the drum sticks and screwdrivers in the guitar necks. I’ve never heard a wider range of music tortured from guitars. The band started to wig out. Again, too bad we were sans camera. Thurston, Kim and Lee took turns singing, A collection was taken up for the veterans of foreign wars. Everyone joined hands. and sang spirituals. Though they were plagued by the occasional equipment failure, who noticed? That total noise experience, tempered with a skewed pop sensibility has always been the best advertisement for the Sonic Lifestyle. So after a boss set that consisted basically of the new album, Daydream Nation they followed with an encore in which they “hammered into the ground” the ancient Brother James. The Youth s’eemed to toss out their maximum noise attack effortlessly. It seems spontaneous but there’s no way they could make it sound so good just on the spur of the moment. No, this band take their distortion, feedback and general noise seriously. A timely reminder that content counts for as much form.

difference between a solid live band and an amazing live band
Change of Heart’s first set at The Bombshelter last Saturday night was something of a disappointment; it was only very good. Unfortunately, the last timeI had seen them was when they opened for Soul Asylum last summer in Toronto and put on an incredible show, all but upstaging the Minneapolis madmen. Any subsequent show would inevitably meet with comnarison with that concert a tough act for anyone to follow.
More newies, notably Pat’s DecIine, a bittersweet paean to Patsy Cline (unfortunately, kd Lang was’ not on hand to duet with singer Ian Blurton), had everyone cursing the fates that have not allowed Change of Heart the riches to release a third album. The bulk of the material from their second long-player, Slowdance, was toughened up considerably -songs like Stress Monkey already cut a pretty mean swath on vinyl, but live, they grind and grunge until the ears bleed.
Brilliant new songs like Winter’s Over and oldies like Mars Is Rising and Northwinds from their debut album, 50Ft. Up, got the ceremonial thumbs up from the approving, mostly full Bomber. As strong as the first set was, the second set showed the
Ian Blurton is an unlikely guitar hero. Ungroomed, not a stitch of spandex on him, and looking like he wouldn’t know what to do with a set of weights if he got one for Christmas, Blurton’s guitar-
playing has progressed over the years to the point where he can play with graceful, melodic subtlety on songs like Pat’s Decline, and then become possessed by the gods of the netherworld of raawwwkkk in raw displays of guitar intensity that could blow the hair off a grizzly. The same is true of his singing; notorious for being refused admittance into the Canadian Opera School, Blurton has used his hoarse shouting style which used to be grating into a .huge asset, now moaning, now clawing, now stabbing at the fabric of Change of Heart’s music. Their odd brand of melodicism, which tears through the ears with all the politeness of vinegar on an open wound, sustained them through almost two hours of original material (they have twenty-three new songs they’re taking into the studio). But

ens.at the Highlan by Greg Clow an0 Imprint- staff
and Kevin
Cogli-
This past weekend, on two occasions, large numbers of people dressed in black, with no regard for personal safety or hearing, gathered together in an alternative orgy of sight, sound, and bodily fluids. What was the event, you ask? Why, it was the premiere of U2’s Rattle and Hum, of course! No, just kidding. Actually, it was Skinny Puppy with guests, Kitten With a Whip, bringing their blood and noise to the. Highlands in Cambridge on the 3rd and Toronto’s infamous Concert Hall on the 6th. Having witnessed both shows, it seemed fitting to compare and contrast the performances, so get out your scorecards, boys and girls.
of big-haired pale waifs who attend such Concert Hall extravaganzas. As for the venues themselves, the Highlands is a large, barn-like building with neato disco lights, a nice dancefloor, and cheap beer (although they were charging 50 cents more for Black Label for some reason). The Concert Hall is, as everyone knows, a sweatbox with bad ventilation, and overpriced pop as the only refreshment. In both cases, the Highlands wins out, ,
Kill, kill, kill Now for the shows themselves. The Cambridge show started kinda late, with lots of tunes for your dancing pleasure and extremely beforehand, warped video on the screen by the stage. Finally, around 9:45 or so, Kitten With a Whip hit the stage. How shall I describe these guys? I know - LOUD! I mean, these guys have listened to their copy of Big Black’s Songs About Nasty Things about 300 times more than should be allowed in Western society. The so-called “songs” were little more than

raw noise coupled with the lead i singer’s primal screaming into his mike. A highlight came when, for the final bit, the singer grabbed hold of some scaffolding, screaming his lungs out, whilst the rest of the band bashed their instruments about a little. Finally, the singer threw the mike down and left the stage, leaving a few sordid individuals in the front row (no names, please right, Bruce?) to scream various obscenities and scatological references into it. A fun time for all, to be sure. Around ll:OO, the Puppies finally hit the stage. Keyboardist Dwayne Goettel was hidden in the rear’ corner of the stage, as usual, while synth/percussion man, cEVIN Key beat the hell out of his drums and metal objects to
return it, and then proceeded to scream “You steal! You steal! You fucking bitch!” to the beat of Assimilate. (The knife, by the way, was found on the floor and returned after the show.) After

The “dead” Ogre was dragged off the
Who do you want to govern Canada? That’s a serious question. On November 21, Canadiuns will answer. _ Brian Mulroney and the Progressive Conservative government understand that the world around us is changing, and that our challenge is to manage global #change to Canada’s benefit. Since 1984, the P.C. government has put Canada on a solid footing. Who has more at stake than Canada’s youth? Before you vote, consider the facts. Since the P.C. Government was elected, the youth unemployment rate has fallen from 18.3% to 12.2%. This progress must continue.
the right of the stage. After some intro noise, lead singer Nivek Ogre came out of the smoke (looking a hell of a lot like Chris Sheppard!) and growled his way into God’s Gift (Maggot). He was surprisingly clean and normal looking in his shredded jeans, jean jacket, and baseball cap.

Knife in the ribs What followed was a surprising display of (perhaps) false advertising; despite the fact the Hall was less than half full and (as we later found out) the lineup outside still wound around the block, Kitten with a Whip started at 7:30, As the crowd filed in, they also grew more irate (as Toronto crowds generally are to Puppy opening bands), shouting “Go Home!” and “Fuck Off,” to which the lead kitten replied “Hey, if you don’t fuckin’ like it, you can leave and come back when we’re done!” Undaunted, they continued, putting on an even better show than in Cambridge. For the last bit of noise, the lead singer dumped some gasoline, lit it, and threw his guitar into the flames, then swung the flaming instrument at the audience. The bassist put a hole in the stage with his bass, bashed an amp with it, and left. That was really about it.

since 3:00 and grabbed some prime spots in line. Surprisingly, the doors opened at 7:00, so we headed up to the balcony and watched the Concert Hell - uh, Hall - fill up. A laser projection on the wall welcomed all us “sex fans” to “Skinny Puppy and the Chris Sheppard Experience,” and the trash tuneage spewing from the sound system made it painfully obvious that Mr. Sheppard was, indeed, at the DJ helm.
Not for long, though - after swinging a stuffed dog around for a bit, he placed it on a table on stage next to some nasty looking metal objects, and the animal rights theme of the evening began. Graphic footage of experimentation on animals began flickering on the screen beside the stage, while Ogre doffed his jacket and donned a lab coat and mask. Over the course of the show, Ogre underwent a transformation, The next couple of songs saw him “operate” on the stuffed dog, spraying blood on himself and several people in the front rows. Then, he was dragged off stage by a mysterious figure clad in what appeared to be a black radiation suit, only to return momerits later not as the scientist, but as the blood-coated test subject. The high point of the show came when, as he taunted people in the crowd with his butterfly knife, some girl grabbed it and refused to return it. This seemed to upset Mr. Ogre, as he knelt in tront of her, motioned for her tb

stage, the sounds ceased, and the audience screamed for - more. That, thotigh, was it; after a mere eight songs, they didn’t return to the stage, The opening strains of The Smiths’ How Soon is Now? came over the sound system, and people started dancing again. Quality without quantity seemed to be the theme of the evening. So much for Cambridge - on to Toronto. Our tickets said “Doors Open at 7:3O,” so we showed up at 6:30. The line-up, as usual, extended about a mile up Yonge Street, but we spotted some friends who’d been there
There’s not really a hell of a lot to be said .about the Skinny Puppy portion of the show that hasn’t already been said. The set was identical to the Cambridge show (although Ogre was more careful with his knife), and afterward, they returned to stage. Nivek related the tale of their arrest in Cinncinatti for animal cruelty and mutilation because someone thought the stuffed dog prop was a real dog. They then did Smothered Hope, the crowd bopped around, Ogre told us to educate ourselves on animal cruelty issues, wished us good night, and disappeared. The final verdict? Well, >the Toronto show wins for pure musical enjoyment, but the asshole crowd and steambath atmosphere of the Concert Hall lose big to Cambridge. In geveral, the shows even each other out, and taken as one, we give it an 8, ‘cause it’s got a good beat and you can dance to it. ’

I have a question: Who the hell is Colin James??? This doofus was probably picking his nose in some dark alley off Queen Street _, not more than a month ago, and now he has some stupid song and an even worse vid-clip!!! This _ has got your requisite blackand-white photographic images of Colin looking so damn sincere that it’s sickening. I guess it’s supposed to make all those fourteen-year-old wankers who consider Debbie Gibson to be some sort of demi-god to just drop all of their roots and Benetton crap and slap down their $10.98 they stole from their fathers for this retarded album. Personally, the video makes me think about how totally nice it would be to take a large machete and stick it between Colin’s pre-fabricated cheekbones. Which is, in itself, a pretty good idea, but probably not what they wanted to get across in this vid, so it gets a tremendously uncool. Rating: UNCOOL, especially if you’re a father.

It features all the guys standing in a circle around one mike in the studio (yeah, like they can’t afford more mikes, too), with Harrison .doing most of the singing about some Postal Service thing, I guess.

Marr, formerlyof thTSmiths, is in this, looking totally out of place and in desperate need of a cigarette. And all through the video, little facts spring up (like the number of people in the U.S. who own licensed machineguns: 182 346) which are designed to make you feel really unsafe, but they flash by too quickly for you to really read them. So, I guess it’s some sort of , statement about mass communication, which means it’s not only fun, but it’s informative too,.Besides, any band that includes the lyrics “If this was Paradise, I wish I had a lawn-mower” can’t be all bad.

they have to be. Their acting was superb - spirited, intense, believable. They made their characters convincingly bumbling and astute, hilarious and tragic. Not only did they play the parts of the motley collection of characters, they also sang and danced and provided an amazing variety of sound effects from cars and trains to helicopters and machine guns. They did everything! . Their main purpose is to entertain and educate Canadian audiences. On Thursday night they did both. Through the play they showed not only conflict between Blacks and Whites (unreasonable policeman and boss), but also between Blacks (coworkers and men competing for jobs) - a realistic vision of South Africa the sensationalist press usually ignores. But, the only Whites we saw were in conflict with the Blacks; no Whites supported the Blacks. But I suppose white- support would have weakened the point of the production. And you can’t, after all, show everything in a few short hours.

Much like UZ, the Fatties attempt to cover important “rock tunes of the past, imbedding their imposing presence in rock history. with relentless and ecclesiastical interpretations of Louie, Louie and The Twist, the dudes establish themselves as the apex in contemporary music history. The textures and sophisticated subtleties of their music astound with sonic thrust emitted from the Human Beat Box. It is wonderful to see Chubby Checker back in the swing of things, shrewdly choosing the Fat Boys as his road back to superstardom.

The three most important figures in Ragamuffin have all released LPs in the last few weeks - Shinehead (no, not that Irish baldy) with his second LP Unity and Asher D & Daddy Freddy with Ragamuffin Hip-Hop, their first LP. While Shinehead first established the link between reggae and hip-hop in 1985 with the slow, brooding Who The Cap Fit, London-based Asher D & Daddy Freddy gave the genre its first masterpiece and its name with their first single Ragamuffin Hip-Hop. Since then, rappers and toasters from Brixton to Brooklyn have jumped on the bandwagon and tried their own slant on the idea, but no-one does it like Shinehead and Asher D & Daddy Freddy. Though they are within the same genre, Asher D & Daddy Freddy and Shinehead take different routes. While Shinehead incorporates bits of Beatles songs and such in order to make his ragamuffin more accessible, Asher D & Daddy Freddy make their ragamuffin progressively deeper and harder and purer. A comparison of the title tracks from each LP makes the difference clear Shinehead grabs the hook from Come Together in the bright, bouncy

Ultimately, every music lover simply will know how aeat this album is by checking out; the record sleeve. It took about thirteen producers to turn out this enormous album, including the legendary Van Gibbs and Eddison Electrick. However, if you hate rap music you’ll probably only be able to listen to each song individually, because it kinda grates on you after awhile. The , Fat Boys do look quite fine in 1 leather, though. ‘Unity, while Asher D & Daddy Freddy grab hold of a big, nasty beat and toast at full speed until they run out of tape. On the rest of their LP, they move through the hardcore rocker, Africa to the all-out hip-hop attack of Run Come FOLLOW We. The rest of the tracks are just as excellent from Summertime, which reprises Mungo Jerry’s Hot Fun in The Summertime to Posse Rock and Move which uses the Theme from Halloween as the fIesh and bones of the song. The Shinehead album is also an excellent piece of irinyl, with tracks like Truth and the redone Who The Cap Fit standing out: yet, in comparison to the raging slab which is Ragamuffin HipHop, his album just doesn’t sound hard enough. So what if you can’t understand any of the lyrics on Ragamuffin Hip-Hop, that same fact didn’t lessen anyone’s appreciation of REM’s Murmur, did it? A rap masterpiece.

songs, all his own compositions, are mostly boring. Different Kind of Love, however, is the exception; like Redneck ‘off of Howard Devoto’s solo project, it is the and only high point of the disk. But unlike Devoto, the rest of the album is still passable. Perhaps the rest of the’ tunes are too subtle for these early listens that I have based this review on, but I fear not. Wolf is not Cornwall in his brightest moment: these songs are bloodywell sanitized with tame guitars and none of his audible angst showcased on most Stranglers’ disks. Sure, his voice is as distinct and awesome as ever, but this time he has nothing to back it up. File this under “Collectors Only.” It hurts to say that about Cornwall, the world’s second most notorious man in black.

Atwood satisfies audience with wicked wit by Chris Wodskou phanie Kuxdorf Imprint staff
and
St&
Margaret Atwood read from her latest novel, Cut’s Eye, Monday evening at the Seagram Museum. The capacity crowd was easily won over by Atwood’swit and charm, as she read several passages from the new book, Cat’s Eye spans a period of fifty years - a period which happens to coincide with the fifty years of Atwood’s life. Atwood began the evening with a reading from a Christmas scene in the novel. The nine-year-old child narrator relates how they always had to sing “Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer” in school as part of the Christmas festivities. “Rudolph bothers me,” says young Elaine, “because there’s something wrong with him.” She was no longer interested in Christmas, since her friend, Cordelia, informed her that he did not exist. Elaine wished for a Barbara Ann Scott doll, simply because she felt obligated to ask for something. The miniature replica of the famous skater was not at all life-like, and the _ child, disappointed, wrapped the doll back up in tissue paper and returned it to its box, telling her parents it was for safe-keeping, when she actually just didn’t want it looking at her. Atwood continued her reading with a passage out of the“‘now section.” Here the middle-aged Elaine is a painter just returned to Toronto for an exhibition of her art at a feminist gallery. Elaine wore a powder-blue jogging outfit to the show and immediately regretted it when she caught sight of the ultra artistic
organizers, dressed in lots of black, abstract art jewelry, and red lipstick. She tried to make it appear that she had worn the jogging outfit on purpose, although she felt “dowdy” and “outnumbered.” When Andrea, a young newspaper reporter interviews her for the “Living Section” (aoes this mean the other sections are dead?], Elaine feels totally inadequate. She probably thinks “I’m a weird middle-aged frump” and that my paintings are “crap.” Andrea tries to bring up some st ereotypically feminist questions which Elaine deftly evades. When asked about the 709, which Andrea considers Elaine’s generation, the painter dismisses this idea, saying the 40s were her generation. Andrea, shocked, considers this archaeology and says, “Oh yes, your formative years.” The last passage Atwood read came from Elaine’s childhood. Elaine always enjoyed staying home sick from school. She would sit in bed and cut pictures - of women out of magazines and exchange their heads if she didn’t like them. She listened to The Happy Gang, a CBC radio programme in the 30s and 409, which filled her “with anxiety.” The Happy Gang is always happy, or at least they pretend to be, and the sensitive child notices the insincerity in the fakesounding laughter. Following on the heels of Atwood’s widely acclaimed and Booker Prize-nominated Handmaid’s Tale, it has been wrongly assumed that Cat’s Eye is a sequel to that novel; however, Cat% Eye seems to be a loosely autobiographical account of fifty years of life in Canada, while The Handmaid’s Tale

deals with a puritan theocracy in the future U.S. Frighteningly, though, Atwood said the novel is not based on invention, but on history, “out of the human landscape:“” frightening also because with Tuesday’s presidential election, it seems to be that much closer to becoming a reality. “The Republican playoffs became a competition to see how religious all the candidates were,“‘she said. But that is also a part of American history, Atwood maintained, since America was originally settled by Puritans who didn’t wish to create a democracy, but a theocracy, persecuting all dissenters. Whether or nut the religious right will gain a sufficient foothold in American politics to form a future government depends on the economic picture: such a radical shift is far more likely in a time of crisis.

Inevitably, such questioning led to discussion on two of Atwood’s favourite subjects: America and what it means to be a Canadian writer. In earticular. she is encouraged by the rise of Canadian writers internationally. “We’re doing much better internationally now than, say, in 1960. I’m published in about twenty countries, Iapan, Europe - some others, like Robertson Davies and Timothy Findley, are published in a number of other countries and languages as well. Saying you were a Canadian writer used to be an oxymoron. It used to be sort of a social liability like having a big wart on your nose. You were successful despite the fact that you were Canadian.” “I always publish in Canada first - my books. are published
here six months ahead of the U.S., so Canadian critics can have the first chance to attack it and say things like, ‘a flawed masterpiece.’ And then the American critics will look at it and say, ‘stupendous,-.,gublime.’ ‘Stupendous’ and ‘sublime’ in the U.S. means *interesting, but flawed’ in Canada.” Not surprisingly, Atwood was far from optimistic about the future of Canadian culture under the proposed free trade agreement, citing American legislation to prohibit cultural protectionism under free trade and the recent appointment of Allan Gottlieb (former ambassador to Washington and a supporter of free trade) as head of the Canada Council, replacing Maureen Forrester. Atwood’s book of criticism from the early 197os, Survival, was deeply concerned with the “victim” complex of Canadian literature and also the consuming power of American culture and literature - a point made all the more pertinent by an American publication’s identifying Atwood as an American writer, “The U.S. is very generous,” she said wryly. “As soon as you set foot across the border and they like you, you’re one of them. Canada isn’t considered a separate country - eighty million Americans believe that the sun revolves around the earth, so you get the idea that their view of Canada might be a little nebulous, Canada is the place-the bad weather comes from. “Canadians are generous, too, though. We’re willing to accept anyone who will take on the burden of being Canadian.”

The cards weren’t falling into the Warriors’ hands last Saturday, November 5 on the rugby pitch. Falling prey to the Queen’s Golden Gaels 20- 3, Waterloo’s undefeated rugby team lost their chance to claim the coveted OUAA championship trophy for the first time since 1985. A powerful Queen’s side ran away with all the marbles for the third year in a row. Weather conditions couldn’t have been worse. Strong,’ cold winds blew down the length of the field. Piercing rain angled into players and boisterous fans alike. Itmade’for a sloppy rugby football match. Waterloo’s pack is small, relatively inexperienced, but very fast. The Golden Gael forwards are big, experienced, and relatively mobile. Team speed was the deciding factor in the Waterloo-Mac semi-final game. It would have to be in the final as well. As it was, with the conditions as they were, any advantage gained by the Waterloo side with their speed was nullified. Muddy pitch combined with Queens’ experience, as well as a good tactical game, enabled the Gaels to take it to the smaller Warrior t earn. Waterloo won the toss and decided to take the wind advantage in the first half. Their reasoning was that a quick lead would cause the Queen’s players to panic and play a hurry-up game in the second half. The objective was toscore early and as much as possible. Neither team could get anything going offensively in the first half. When Waterloo’s backs were served by the forwards, a slippery ball caused a variety of mishaps behind the gain-line. The ball was often
stuffed within the centres, very close to the rambling Queen’s pack. They didn’t have to trot very far to get to the breakdown. Tactically, Queen’s attacked into the forwards. When the ball was given out to the backs, it was usually ran inside for their big pack to secure. This erased Waterloo’s advantage in getting to the winger on the opposite side of the field. The Warrior forwards put up a valiant effort defensively, however, the Gaels always kept the ball available, mauling and rucking very well, Their size was definitely a bonus in the slick conditions. It is a credit to the staunch Warrior tackling that Queens did not score in the first half. In fact, Waterloo had a 3-0 lead at the half on a penalty goal by inside centre Hayden Belgrave. Nevertheless, the wind advantage enjoyed by the Gaels in the second half proved to be the home side’s downfall. The play was even for a 15 minute stint into the second half until Waterloo was called for a penalty in close, Queens took the opportunity and tied the match 3-3. Still a close game, if only Waterloo could get something going offensively into that biting rain-laden wind. Finally, the Warrior end-goal was invaded by a Queens player with a rugby ball in his hand. Unfortunately, it was one of the unluckiest breaks ever seen in a rugby football match. Fullback Mike Fischer caught the ball on an up-and-under at the Waterloo Jo-metre line and immediately kicked it right back toward the pursuing Queen’s side. Hustling back in support, fly-half Adam Kendall was struck in the head by the ball. The impact was astonishing to behold, the ball bounced off Kendall’s head and went 40 metres back into the end-goal. Both of the chasing Warriors,

Five minutes later the score was increased to 10-3 on a drop-goal by the Golden Gael fly-half. Would the Warriors fold at this point? The heart and determination shown by Waterloo throughout the year was exhibited in the next 10 minutes of the match. Waterloo’s forwards were finally taking it to the larger Queens pack, winning the ball on the loose pieces. The fans were treated to some exciting rugby, ‘despite the sloppy play
exhibited by both sides. When the Golden Gaels got into trouble, they just used the wind to their advantage, kicking the ball deep into Waterloo terri‘tory. It was frustrating and at times it was desperate, pressuring and trying to score against a team that was just biding its time. Eventually, the Warrior players tired, giving Queens that edge they needed in the last 10 minutes of the match.

It was only a matter of time by this point in the match. The referee was well into injury time, at least six minutes, with Waterloo knowing that it was almost impossible to come back, Adding insult to injury, Queen’s scored another try, this one converted, on another very unusual situation.

Warriors sneak past Yeomen for fifth win by Mike McGraw Imprint staff.
,
Sometimes a simple free throw can be the hardest shot in basketball. Just ask the York Yeomen. Last Friday night at the PAC, the Yeomen missed four straight from the charity stripe in the game’s final 30 seconds, alIowing the Waterloo Warriors to weasel out a 65-64 pre-season victory. The ending was exciting, but bizarre, -.. With 33 ‘$conds left, Jeff McDermid hit the front end of a bonus to put York up, 64-63. He missed his second shot, but Jeff Root was fouled grabbing the rebound. Root missed, but was fouled again (grasping his own rebound, missed another but Dave Neziol was fouled on that rebound and ‘yes, he missed his first shot too.. ; Still with me? Finally, with four seconds left, UW’s Tom Schneider calmly nailed two from the foul line to push the Warriors pre-season record to 5-1 before a crowd of about 2,000,
“Those were ridiculous rebounds,” exclaimed UW coach Don McCrae about the game’s farcical end. “The ball was bouncing around like a Halloween balloon, it wasn’t our poor defence that cause-d those fouls - the ball was bouncing everywhere.” Once again, it was captain Schneider to the rescue. The veteran guard scored 10 of his game-high 20 points in the final’ seven minutes, pilfering a win the Warriors should have locked up earlier in thesecond half. The Yeomen . kept their eyes on Schneider, sending him to the foul line 14 times. He hit 10 free throws. The other UW perimeter shooters shot blanks, but luckily, the front court took over. The Warriors shot a mediocre 47 per cent from the floor, including an abysmal two for 15 from threepoint range. Forward John Clark picked up the slack hooping eight points and grabbing 12 rebounds, while centres Dave Rosebush and Pat Telford both scored seven. The flashy Andy Zienchuk also meshed seven,
“Our perimeter shooting was poor, it got us into trouble,” commented McCrae. “Clark played very hard and tough, We don’t use our big men enough - they hide out there sometimes.” McDermid paced the Yeomen with 19 points while Neziol added 10. Root, a former twotime CIAU scoring champ with Guelph, scored eight points. York shot a horrid 41 per cent from the field. Trailing 40-37 at the half, the Warriors stirred the energetic crowd to its feet with a 10-O run to open the second half. Waterloo appeared to be headed for a cakewalk as York reeled to the canvas. It took the Yeomen almost five minutes to notch their first basket. However, slowly but surely, the tables turned, York outscored UW, 19-6 over the next nine minutes to take a 59-53 lead with seven minutes remaining. The Warriors’ offensive plague spread down the entire bench as they went through a five minute span without a basket. “We were playing super, then four straight times down the floor we didn’t move it past the
said McCrae, “We foul line,” could have put it away. It’s a sign of immaturity - we don’t realize we’re not scoring and we just start running around.” When the Yeomen pulled ahead 59-53, a steaming McCrae . hauled his troops off the court for a verbal lashing. After the time out, Schneider potted six points in under three minutes to rally his teammates, Oddly enough, the same thing happened in the first half. In a tight but sloppy start, the Warriors built an early 12-5 lead, powered by two silky jumpers by Don Meace and two equally impressive buckets by Chris Troyak. The lead was short-lived, as the ,Yeomen ripped off seven straight points to take a 13-12 lead, The outburst prompted a time out by McCrae. As the pace picked up, neither team led by more than four before halftime. McCrae continues to get a good look at his entire squad 11 of 12 players in uniform played on Friday. But more of this has to do with his club’s poor conditioning than McCrae’s wish to observe the entire roster,
“I don’t think we’re in shape,” admitted McCrae. “We don’t have many guys who can play a lot. This is not a good thing. We were turning over a lot of people because of fatigue.” Schneider, however, was a workhorse, logging 37 minutes on the hardwood. Overall, McCrae was impressed with his club’s effort. “It was a good game for us. We were trailing in the stretch and had to get specific at both ends we didn’t do it particularly well, but if we’re going to do well in the Naismith, we’ll have a game like this. There’s still a lot of question marks, but we’re chipping away the wins.” For the first time in recent memory, Waterloo is in good health heading into the Naismith Classic, The Warriors will only be without forward Jeremy Moore, who hasn’t played yet due to a nagging knee injury. Moore may undergo arthroscopic surgery before the end of the month, John Bilawey, who left the game early in the first half, will be ready fortonight’s clash with Bilawey received Ottawa. stitches after cutting his head while committing a foul,

1988 Naismith B-ball Classic Preview by Mike Imprint
LAURIER
McGraw staff
At most universities, the main ingredients for homecoming weekend are street parties, police paddy wagons and a football game. At Waterloo, the behavior isn’t quite so rowdy, and UW football is a memory which most alumni would like to forget. Instead, the spotlight of Waterloo’s homecoming weekend shines on the basketball court and the annual Naismith Classic. In its 2lst year, the Naismith is regarded among the elite tournaments in CIAU basketball. The 1987 Naismith brought five of the nation’s top ten ranked teams together at the PAC - Brandon Bobcats (eventual national champs], Acadia Axemen (national finalists), St. Francis Xavier X-Men, Western Mustangs and Waterloo Warriors. The Axemen took the title with a convincing victory over the host Warriors. This year’s line-up is nothing to scoff at. Four of 1988’s top ten teams will be in action - Acadia, Toronto, Saskatchewan and Waterloo. The action tips off today (Friday) at noon with Laurier facing Toronto, and McMaster battling Winnipeg at 2 p.m. Play continues at 6 p.m. . with Acadia tussling Saskatchewan, while at 8 p.m., the host Warriors go up against Ottawa. The winners of these four games advance to Saturday’s semi-final matches, while the losers enter the consolation draw. Here are scouting reports for all eight entrants. ’ TORONTO
VARSITY

HAWKS:
Some things never change - like Laurier’s preference for a small, lightning-quick basketball team which looks more like a track team. Led by a purple and gold blur, 6'0" guard Tony Marcotullio, WLU made it to the .5OOplateau in 1988. Sticking with tradition, coach Chris Coulthard recruited another roadrunner, 5’10” guard, Danny Deep. The Hawks firewagon perimeter game can cause chaos for opponents, but any coach will tell you, teams like this live and die by the long bomb. Again, the big problem is size. The two biggest Hawks are both 6’6” - vet Mike Demaree and rookie Mimo Miokmic. If the little smurfs get hot outside, look out. If not, it’ll be a long weekend for the Hawks. WLU vs. U of T: This could be an entertaining game, especially if the Hawk sharpshooters get hot. The Blues are a little deeper, and should pull it cut. . McMASTER
BLUES:
If you’ve watched the Blues in recent years, you might not recognize them now. Highly ranked in 1988, the Blues’ success depended on 6’8” battleship Mike Forrestel and CIAU scoring champ Fred Murrell. Now that Forrestel has joined the Toronto police force, and Murrell, the dentistry profession, U of T has revamped its philosophy. Good recruiting grabbed point guard Merv Busby, who returns to the Great White North after a brief stay at Colgate University. Along with Nick Saul; Busby solidifies a traditionally weak position for U of T. Keep your eyes on 6'3" frosh shooting guard Allen MacDougall, said to be among the best snipers in Canada. For the first time in years, size may be a problem for the Blues, but 6’9” veteran Mark Harvey and 6'7" Rob Wilson should keep coach Gib Chapman content. The loss of Murrell hurts, but U of T is still a tough opponent.
SASKATCHEWAN vs. ACADIA: This has all the makings of
MARAUDERS:
The second coming of veteran swingmen Jasper Naus and Ed Madronich could spell the resurrection of the Marauders. Without these two, Mac went from OUAA champs in 1987, to 4-8 flops in 1988. Naus and Madronich will join little fourth year Gremlin, Craig Muir, and Ruppert Wilson to make for a solid backcourt. The only flaw could be inside, where 6’9” Mike Preocanin will have to personally rule the front court like he did last season. Watch for 6'5" freshman, Jeff Zownir. Coach Barry Phillips has had a taste of both champagne and humble pie, but look for his team to regain some of its lost pride. WINNIPEG WESMEN: Finally, coach Bill Wedlake has something he’s never had - size. Up front, the Wesmen still have 6'7" veteran Murray Gehman and added 6'10" giant, Charles Sabourin. This beefed up front court will make this good team even better. Team leader Burt Taeves and 6'4" GPAC all-star forward Dean Goodbrandson are both back to bolster the 1986 Naismith champs’ attack. The one drawback with the Wesmen cotild be their lack of depth on the bench, MAC vs. WINNIPEG: A tough one to call, but give the edge to the bigger, more experienced Wesmen, who have been in action since early September. ACADIA ‘AXEMEN: Talk about a wicked twist of fate. The defending Naismith champs lost four starters, but only one left due to graduation. Nat ional t earn player Peter Morris graduated, but Kevin Veinot (1987 Naismith

M.V.P.1 is stricken with an unfortunate illness, while guards Wayne Taylor and Tyrone Carvery returned home due to personal family problems. But don’t think they’ll be pushovers. Acadia still boasts one of the biggest and brawniest front courts in Canada with 6'8" Dave Moody, 6'7" Peter Baldaulf, 6’7” Ted Byrne and 6’6” Grant MacDonald. The only problem will be finding someone to get the ball to these guys with Carvery and Taylor gone, the AxeTen are very shallow at guard.

HUSKIES:
Wild card entrants in the CIAU championships last season, the Huskies have lost a franchise and naplayer, all-Canadian tional team member, Brian Tokarchuk. They’re also getting used to a new head coach, Steve Roth. But look for the Huskies to remain solid up front with 6’8” Sheldon Ryma and Tim Conlan, who at 6'4" 240 lbs. is one of the bulkiestiplayers in the country. Despite losing Tokarchuk, Roth’s enthusiasm should keep
a barnburner - two traditional powerhouses dealing with player turnovers. Both are still strong, but the deeper Axemen should win. OTTAWA GEE GEES: When head coach John Restivo arrived at camp in September, he got an unexpected surprise - three of his starters didn’t show up for school. Suddenly, the Gee Gees and Restivo were forced into an unwanted rebuilding season. Consequently, they have the youngest team in the tournament, buoyed by a front court stronghold with 6’9” Bill Shane and Chris Semcke. But like all rebuilding teams, Restivo and company are in for a crash course in the pitfalls of university athletics. WATERLOO WARRIORS: Don’t underestimate this team. Although all-Canadian Rob Froese, 6’9” Jamie McNeil1 and charismatic Jerry Nolfi are gone, the Warriors seem to be managing just fine. Fifth year guard Tom Schneider is loving every minute as team leader, and has been scorching hot in pacing the team to a 5-1 pre-season record. With fellow guards Chris Troyak and Peter Sawchuk, UW has potentially destructive perimeter and fast break games. Much to coach Don McCrae’s delight, his inexperienced front court is showing signs of blossoming - 6’6” John Clark, and 6’8” centres Dave Rosebush and Pat Telford have shown great improvement. If anything, Waterloo is battling inexperience with only three seniors and many little-used players on the roster. Keep your eyes peeled for number 10, rookie Andy Zienchuk - he’s wearing Froese’s old number with good reason. Remember too that the Warriors will have 4,000 rowdy fans in the PAC behind them this weekend. As long as they don’t get too overanxious, this will be an advantage. OTTAWA VS. UW: The Warriors should be able to dispose of the younger Gee Gees with few problems. The vocal PAC crowd should provide a big roadblock for the youthful Gee Gees. The action continues all weekend at the PAC. Opening round action begins today at noon, with the consolation round and semis starting Saturday at noon. The finals and third place game go on Sunday. All games are ,convered by UW student athletic passes.

V-ball Warriors p.ummel western! by Glenn Hauer Imprint staff For the first iime in league play this season, the Waterloo Warriors volleyball team had to deal with an offence, that is, an opposing team’s offence. On last Friday, November 4, the Warriors travelled to London to tangle with the Western Mustangs in their confined, cavern-like gymnasium. In a match that displayed an ever improving Warrior defence, Waterloo defeated Western in three straight games, 15-8, 15-6, and 15-12. Coach Rob Atkinson was pleased with his team’s effort, for that’s what it was, a victory achieved by Warrior hustle and
determination. Many of the players were not impressed with their hitting in the match; however, if the Warriors can consistently defend as well as they did, a trip to Calgary in March will be in their hands. Atkinson noted, “We certainly did not overpower them. But it was the most that we have been pressed this year, and our blocking and positional play in the backcourt was much better than in previous matches. The guys also passed 2.9 in the third game out of a possible 3.0, which is fantastic.” Nevertheless, this -match was also the first time this year that the Warrior offence sputtered. “We didn’t execute as well as

Concentration on the part of the hitters as well as the quarterback of the team, setter Tony Martins, will have to be improved if they plan to compete against strong teams. Lackadaisical play is usually theresult of overconfidence, something the Warriors cannot afford to have going into the CIAU championships. Not everything about the Waterloo attack was negative, it was about as balanced as it can get. All five of the starting hitters had at least eight kills and
not over 10, a tribute to Martins’ setting ability. A varied attack is exciting to watch, especially when a hitter with a great vertical jump goes up without a block and tries to bounce the volleyball off the floor and into the roof. Martins also had a stellar defensive match, leading the Warriors with 11 digs. If alternate setter Ian Hyman keeps pushing Martins in practice as well as with his efforts on the court during match play, look for the starting setter to have an excellent year. He was an OUAA allstar last. season, he should receive similar honours this year as well.

On a 2%metre drop-out, the ball was kicked right into the hands of a Golden Gael lock forward with nothing between him and the try-line. It wasn’t to be for the Waterloo Warriors rugby team this day, a disappointed set of players clapped the victorious Queen’s side off the field with a 20-3 victory in their hands. Despite their loss in the OUAA championship, the Warriors rugby club surprised everyone in the rugby community with their victory over McMaster in the semi-final. Waterloo went 0-7 last year, being demoted to Division II in the tiered OUAA league. In the past, Division I teams dominated the weaker sides in the lower division. This year has brought respectability back to Division II. The gap between the two leagues is narrowing. Obviously, the relentless pressure on the opposition by strong clubs such as Queen’s, McMaster, and York would be too much for RMC or Toronto. However, aggressive clubs like the big Laurier side would be able to handle themselves if they gained more experience. The Warriors will find themselves back in the tough Division I next fall. If graduation or co-op does not decimate a core group of veterans and promising rookies, Waterloo looks to be verv competitive. One area in whiih they

League play resumes on Tuesday; November. 15 in the PAC. McMaster will be visiting at 8 p.m. and will most likely be leaving at 8~40 p.m. Any gambling types in the crowd?

need to develop is in the size department. The championship game showed that size is a definite asset in adverse conditions. In this closing story on a very successful year for Waterloo rugby, a few people should be thanked for their support throughout the season. The coaches, Brian Quistberg, Mark Harper, and Derek Humphries, all devoted a great deal of time to’ the club.

Finally, there are a few players who had outstanding seasons. Prop Jim Closs and vice-skip Blair Falconer were the leaders amongst the forwards. Rookie flanker Damien Byrnes had a stellar year, coming from Australia and getting used to the Canadian brand of rugby. Flyhalf Adam Kendall and fullback Mike Fischer played steadily as well. Players to look for in the.future are Mark Hogg, Rod Duncan, and Glenn Gould. Returning veterans include Closs, lock Mac Clayton, centres Gerard Gransaull and Scott Webb, and No, 8 Dave Stone. The Warriors are not in action until April, when they travel on one of their infamous rugbv tours to British Columbiay ”
Last weekend (Oct. 29 & 30) the Soccer Warriors hosted the Ryerson Rams and the McMaster Marauders at the lovely and picturesque Columbia Playing Fields. It was a scary weekend for sure. The Warriors only got 1 point and it was against Mac. For the first time in Warrior Soccer team history we were de-. feated by Ryerson. A second half goal from a scramble spelled doom and shame for the Warriors. Although the team pressed ahead valiantly for the equalizer the fates were against us and we were stymied. . On the Sunday, the Warriors scored a last minute goal to tie the Marauders l-l. The hero was Dave Carr with his first goal as a Warrior. Stay tuned for next week’s season round-up.

Disputed god rounds:out Ryerson c6meback ing as he was crosschecked across his face mask, unbelievably skated away as the official turned his head. Coulter grazed the crossbar as he put Waterloo ahead at x2:03 of the third on passes from Tsandelis and Ian Pound. It looked like the Warriors were ahead to stay. As the play sped up like a runaway express, Coach Don McKee resorted to quick line *changes to kill the last three and * a half minutes of the game, The referee called a controver‘sial hooking penalty on Coulter with 1:46 showing on the clock. The Warriors promised to kill the penalty and the game. With seven ticks left, and a face-off deep in Ryerson territory, the ’ game was over, right? Ryerson won the draw, lofted the puck down ice to a streaking forward. A Warrior blueliner played the puck and was left looking at Castanetti slipping the puck between Bishop’s legs as the buzzer rang. McKee and the Warriors thought the game ,was over though the referee hadn’t yet signalled no-goal. After minutes of controversy, the ref pointed to centre ice signalling for a fiveminute overtime. : The Warriors could have salvaged the ‘w’ as they were presented with the man-advantage for two minutes. No powerplay and no goals though as McKee fumed into the dressing room with only one point. This homecoming weekend, a couple of East division teams; hot off wins over Mac visit Waterloo.

by Peter Dedes Imprint staff The University of Waterloo Warriors demonstrated a true inability to play sixty minutes of solid hockey versus the Ryerson Rams Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, Ryerson solidified its second place standing in the OUAA’s West Division, stealing a point from the University of Waterloo Warriors hockey team in a 4-all draw at the Columbia Icefield. Missing from the UW lineup was the magic of Steve Linseman serving a one game suspension for spearing. The typically potent Warrior powerplay unit suf- fered without the star centre, failing to score on the man-advantage. Period one began with aggressive skating and checking with both teams-unable to dominate the early play. Ryerson backstop, Mark Murray kept the Rams in the game, intercepting Waterloo drives from inside the circle with his lightning glove. Replacing Linseman is no easy thing. Todd Coulter skated between top-ten scorers, Chris Glover and Dan Tsandelis and though it wasn’t home, it was better than a cheap motel. Coulter engineered the only goal of the period with effective checking as Ryerson attempted to move the puck out of their defensive zone. Coulter poked the puck to Tsandelis who found himself alone with Glover in frantof Murray. Faking the shot, Tsandelis slid the puck to Glover who tucked it behind the helpless goaltender at 8:45. The Warriors were unable to capitalize on the powerplay, taking foolish penalties in the offen-

sive zone. They did manage to command the period, however, peppering Murray with 15 shots, while UW goaltender Mike Bishop was able to punch out for coffee-break, facing only seven. In period two, Mike Murray almost gift-wrapped a goal for the Warriors. Straying from his porch to foil a breakaway, he was caught 2.0 feet from his posts. The UW shot managed to find the body of a Ryerson defender doubleparked in front of Murray’s doorstep though. The Warriors scored their second of the match with tenacious checking as Ryerson attempted to break into center ice. The result was a short three on two with the Ram defence collapsing around the keeper. Tic-tat-toe

and Steve Girardi scored at 4:30 with assists going to Jim David and Ken Buitenhuis. Waterloo began to find some skating room. Captain John Goodman streaked down the right wing with the puck. As he squealed behind the Ryerson goal, he was smeared into the end ‘boards. A resilient guy though; he surprisingly bounced back into play. Ryerson must have been telegraphing their breakout plays to the Warrior forwards. Girardi stole the puck at the blue line and fed it to Jamie Maki who wristed a 25-footer over Murray’s glove. Shoddy play in the defensive zone shattered the shutout for Bishop with less than five minutes remaining. The puck

More shoddy defensive play early in the third cost the Warriors as a panicking defense allowed the puck to stray into the slot for a goal at 1:15. Ryerson completed the comeback on the powerplay, Moving the puck around the perimeter, a missile from the top of the circle hit its target behind Bishop at 4:48.

The Athena basketball team is having a tough time keeping five players on the court, yet so far the problem has not been excessive fouling. After returning from the Carlet on Invitational in Ottawa last weekend, two more Athenas were added to the ever increasing casualty list. Jennifer Hinton suffered a spiral fracture in her left hand and Michelle McCrory was assaulted with an opposition elbow, causing a broken nose and a distorted face. Since the tryouts in September, the basketball Athenas have not had a full turnout to practices or games’due to a very unlucky string of injuries and illnesses. With at least one of the weekend’s victims, the situation is not likely to improve until after Christmas, Needless to say, the team has kept trainers Maxine Morris, Cory Berkoff, and Wendy Bowen very busy in its overcrowded injury clinic. Who ever said that an athletic therapist would get the most exposure to an assortment of ailments with the Warrior
football, rugby, and hockey teams? The Athena trainers could write a book. The latest injuries, as well as Karen McCulla’s torn cartilage, have taken a little wind out of the Athena’s sails. In the next two weeks before the regular season begins, the remaining players will have to band together and rise above these temporary setbacks. Rookies, as well as the veterans still alive, will have to accept more responsibility and welcome the challenge of trading roles on the court. With a positive outlook, the Athenas can turn their unfortunate situation into one which will strengthen team unity and broaden individual skills. Although losing to Queens, 5946, in the consolation final that added “insult to injury,” there were some shining performances. Jane Willett had an excellent effort, playing strong, aggressive defense and finally showing the opposition her toughness and determination. Kelly McGolrick also, turned in a very strong performance. Switching between positions, McGolrick led the Athenas in scoring with 14 points using her

hustle and intensity to great advantage. Filling in at point guard, Kelly Mackey once again stunned the opposition with her quick feet on defence, taking at least four charging fouls over the weekend. In the first game of the three day tournament, Waterloo lost in overtime to the Ottawa Alumni 59-57. A controversial foul at the buzzer gave the Oldtimers their second chance at victory, Corning out flat in the 5-minute overtime period, the Athenas netted only a single basket to Ottawa’s two. Michelle McCrory was high scorer with 16 points while Leah Ann Erickson and Mackey each had 10. McCrory also led in the rebounding department taking 9 boards; forward Corinna Lueg followed with 7. Waterloo’s second round game against, Concordia was not a great exhibition of basketball. However, the Athenas did bounce back with some enthusiasm and desire to win, something that has been lacking in previous games. At halftime the score was an embarrassing 1% 15 for the Athena side. The pace in the second half was a bit more indicative of the fast moving game that basketball should be, with Waterloo coming out on top 44-37. Lueg and McGolrick were high scorers in the match, sinking 14 and 8 points respectively. These two players also dominated the boards, ripping 11 and eight rebounds off the glass. The results of past weekend do not appear encouraging. On the other hand, the Athenas are young and still learning, in addition to missing three key players from the lineup. The way in which this team reacts to their temporary difficulties in the weeks ahead will determine their success in the approaching season.

Football Warriors best- in ‘recent history( by Bohdan Washchuk -
,
_
When reviewing the 1988 Warrior Football season, that phrase comes to mind. Many may find it difficult to equate ‘best of times’ and ‘Warrior Football’, but in fact this year’s gridiron group was probably the best of the last five. How can a team that hasn’t won a game in four years (O-30) possibly be better? Those who have actually followed the team over the years could tell you. When the program was taken over by Tuffy Knight, the Warriors finally got a bonafide coach, Although not a large man by stature, Tuffy’s heart (now ticking on two cylinders) and soul are bigger and stronger than any other coach’s in the league. A man who personifies hard work and effort, he’ and his coaching staff instilled these attitudes into. their players; Tuffy has been known to bring out the best in mediocre players.

A player’s
perspective
remain for years to come. The Warrior offense was literally silenced for the first three games, amassing a total of zero touchdowns. It finally came alive against York under quarterback Mike Wright, where only a missed field goal on a bad snap was the difference in a 2019 loss. Yet consistency and .mental discipline were the nemeses. When the offense did move the ball, it was usually halted by a breakdown.
Orville Beckford and rookie Kevin Ducher were bright spots. Sidelined last year due to an injury, Beckford grinded out some near impossible yards throughout the season. The triple-option, instituted by Tuffy at Laurier, will now be the building block of the Warrior offensive system. Some may say that it’s archaic, but we need only to look at the Windsor game and more so at WLU to see how much success it can bring if run properly. Statistics show the Warriors gave up 187 points, the fewest the team has allowed in five Forty to fifty of these years. points were not directly given up by the defense. The Warrior defensive unit got rave reviews from opposing coaches at the season ending all star selection meeting. Many of the coaches felt that the Warrior defense was the best in the conference.
Hit paydirt at Windsor In the final game against Windsor, the offense played it’s best in years. Brian Lenart combined with Dave Ropret, Doug Schnieder and the Chartier brothers to run a successful triple option attack. Waterloo pushed Windsor around for over 280 yards and a touchdown. A missed third down gamble proved to be the difference in a 23-11
He predicted well before the season that opposing teams would be in a physical, hard-hitting football game, and the Warriors held true to his foresight. Players hit right to the whistle even if they weren’t involved in the play. A new brand of aggressive football has been established and looks like it will

loss.
The Warriors complemented the option with a short and intermediate passing attack. Many opposing defenses seemed to thrive on the fact the Warriors had no deep pass routes, and thus took even more away from the short pass and run. The result: -dropped balls and short gains. Despite this, players like
on the 1988 season , unit came together to hold Toronto to a total of 165 yards. Shaw and linebackers Bob Casey and David Brush began to thwart other teams’ running games. A highlight for Casey was his receiving the player of the game award against Laurier. Mark Yarmel and MacCormack were led by veteran Mike Lane to provide a young but disciplined line. A pleasant surprise was nose-guard Lane whose effort and intensity gave him the team lead in sacks and even an interception against Windsor.
Gutsy performance by Kilby
The unselfishness of the unit was portrayed by lineman/linebacker Paul Kilbv. As one of the smallest but sirongest linebackers in the league, Kilby kept his own against linemen -much An awesome - bigger than he when moved to down line. defensive corps Vaughn led a much improved secondary. Once susceptible to the big play, the likes of Richard Chen and track man Paul Miekle Led by Dave Shaw and Larry put an end to that.

Vaughn and Shaw (pro t,ryout) will be sorely missed next year. Both had the games of their careers against Guelph, scoring touchdowns on their interceptions and gaining OUAA First Team All-Star status, Vaughn displayed his completeness as a player this year by returning numerous missed field goals, particularly on e for 103 yards (OUAA season high), Also playing their final games this’ year were. centre and captain Dave Stoddart, guard Wayne Worreia and s-year safety, Bohdan Waschuk. In the end though, the Warriors did not win a game, again. After losing so many, the team has built itself into a deep rut. They are trying to shake the monkey off their back, but at times not only is the opposition posing a problem, but so are the media and many of the school population. It seems that some of these people actually look for-’ ward and expect a blowout of UW. Unfortunately, the players don’t. The effort and heart displayed on this team is definitely character building for those in years to come. The odds are stacked against the football Warriors, but it looks like that’s the way they’d rather have it; It’s never been an easy battle, but in due time next season, the wins will come. They know it.
