by Spimter UW Sun staff
“1 warAna be a bunny barmaidt” Campus doctors have been alerted to this latest whim of low-key President Chambermaid. Insiders speculate that Chambermaid’s rumoured affiliation with Betty Boobs has inspired a latent post-puberty drive to develop a .,, profile. UW secret police are currently looking for Carpickle and IL nelda, last seen climbing into a stretched white limo parked on King street. Rinelda was dressed in a revealing plush red velour brocade miniskirt with matching tank top, cowboy hat and highheel boots. Carpickle wore purple satin jeans an$ a coordinating blazer, Any information leading to their whereabouts will be doubly rewarded - by the police and the tacky-alert committee for a better dressed Waterlooo. Another source has revealed that Councillor Dim Jackson has been spotted at the gaming house, searching for cockroaches in the plush red velour brocade mipiskirt sported by Whinelda. Councillor John Perbert stood close by, motioning I .i: . awav.

Foolish notions of ‘morality’ and squeamish urges to deny that which cannot be denied mustbe set aside, We, the righteous, must be both equipped and willing to do battle. The purpose of this feature is to reveal that which has been hidden and to prepare you for the time to come. For those willing to look, the plan of the Evil One becomes obvious very quickly. Of course many questions are left unanswered and the foolish mortal la,ws of libel prevent full disclosure at this time. However, to begin to see beneat!h the veneer you have but to ask ourself one question: Why is Rick Ast Yey so b~puIar? He has no talent nor charisma to explain his incredible chart-topping success.

His Mtister’s Voice? RCA is one of the many “respedtable” members of the communications establishment which, upon closer inspection, stands revealed as sn organ of evil and a tool of the Diety of Darkness. Consider the time-honoured logo, a dog listening to His Martar’r Voice. Just what kind of a “dog” is that, anyway? Ten to brie the record on that old turntable is being played backwards. If we look at RCA backwards+ we get ACR - Anti-Christ Recordings? RCA is now affiliated with BMG: reversed+ it’s GMB - God Must Burn? Let’s look at who owns-RCA: GE - General Electric or Godless Evil? Remember Elvis Presley? Elvis was a fine, God fearirig young man when he was signed to Sun (Son?) records. He signed to RCA, and when they were fin-’ ished with him, he was a tired, fat old joke. The wages of sin are truly death.
.
, There are those who believe that Elvis. was a manifestation of the second coming, but this-time he succumbed to temp-. tation and was lured from Sun to RCA records. Ten yearssfter his death, he has resurfaced and is condemned to walk the earth like the wandering Jew, repairing TV’s in New lersey and ordering burgers in Kalatiazw.

Imprint spoke with leffrey Simpson, oni of Canada% l&ading analytical journalists, before he addressed Q UW audience in the Engineering Lecture Hal1 on Wednesday, November 23. He answered questions abqut the future of Canada under free trade and political patronage, the subject .of his recent boolc Spdle of Power. Imprint: Canada is now destined, through free t’rade, to enter the world of market forces. Is Canada mature and strong enough to compete in this atmosphere or are we going to be in over our depth? Simpson: ft has been called a leap of faith but the fair question to ask is, “What would have happened if we had done nothing?” Was inaction a viable alternative? You ask if we can swim? I don’t think we have any choice. The world is not going to stop for Canada: the internationalization of the world eco,nomy is not going to stop because Canada decided to reject this agreement, We . ha& a choice to join global trends or reject them and I believe the right choice was to join them because resisting them would have lead to a lower standard of living as the years went by.

Imprint: During CTV election coverage an November 21, former Canadian ambassador to the UN Stephen Lewis cornmented that “this was the first Canadian election in which the out come was decid.ed by big business.” What do you think of thisconcept? Simpson: Firstly, Stephen Lewis doesn’t know his histOry to make a statement like that because it was constantly being argued by the Grits in John A. MacDonald’s days that he was forever buying elections because of the interests of the railroads, brewers, and manufacturers that were behind him. But as for the substance of the argument I don’t think it stands up to any conclusive analysis. Busi-ness involvement in this cam-’ paign was one of many factors in the outcome, but it was only one. Business did intervene, but I think they were actually very ineffective. Imprint: Is the media role in Canadian elections becoming too large?

cause free trade was a nightmare for television and the only way they could deal with the subject was by distilling free trade to its lowest common denominator and then by personifying it in a series of debates.

Simpson: Enormous pressure, eepeciaIly if the party has been out of power for sometime. Pressures from the rank and file of the party are fierce but there are two simple rules about political pressure. One is that demand for a favour always far out-exceeds the supply so in making an appointment the PM disappointi far more people than he satisfies. Secondly, the further along we go there exists less tolerance for political patronage in the society as a whole. So that while a number of years ago politicians could practice patronage with

impunity and nobody reacted against it, now the advent of time has introduced more skepticism. Imprint: Canada has witnessed patronage under both P.C, and Liberal governments. Would the N.D.P. be able to put their self-righteous stance against patronage into practice if they were elected? Simpson: In an attempt to try and answer that question I looked quite carefully at the CCF governments in Saskachewan and the NDP governments in various western provinces. Of course I can’t predict the future but based on their past experience I think the following things would happen. First of all the relations between the NDP and the business community are weak and therefore that whole area which has provided bin the past fertile ground for political patronage would be largely eliminated. But secondly, the NDP wants to have activist government and therefore they would want to put in charge of as many boards, commissions and agencies as the can their own people who would introduce their broad philosophical views. So I think the N.D.P. would certainly make manj, political patronage appointments, but they would justify them because . of the fact they would be intro-ducing dras,tically different s’ocialistic policies. ’ Imprint: What is the future of the Senate in light of the leading role it played in stalling and obstructing legislation during the last parliament?

. ON THE VPOF Carmichael not, CAREER PATH outofthewoocbyet’ by Marie Sedivy Imprint staff The saga continues. Although a motion to remove Shane Carmichael as a signing authority of the Federation of Students was defeated Z-3-2 at the Board of Directors meeting last Thursday, a bylaw change could pave the way for Students’ Council to take similar action at its next meeting this SundAy. Board member Roger Tudor, who moved to revoke Carmichael’s signing authority, is still “not sure what happened” to defeat the motion. “I had spoken to people asking what they would or wouldn’t accept in a motion before the meeting,” he told Imprint, “I amended it to make it palatable to everyone, and then the vote disappeared on me. That one really annoyed me to no end.” During the meeting, Fed President Adam Chamberlain spoke against the motion. “The Board received specific instructions from council abaut the two events, and should be taking specific action only. If council wairts more to be done, they’ll have to say so,” he told Imprint, Chamberlain also argued the Board is too small a ‘body to make such decisions unless there is an emergency. Tudor says Chamberlain didn’t want to set a precedent and was afraid of doing something against student wishes.
However, Tudor emphasizes “the Board of Directors can override student council, but he (Chamberlain] doesn’t want to use that power.” Tudor said his interpretation of council’s non-confidence motion was that the councillors presently do not have faith in Carmichael to carry out his duties. He also emphasized that the non-confidence mot ion doesn’t do anything other than express disappointment that the money was spent unwisely. 1 He said that when the initial motion to remove his signing authority for Cultural Caravan and Winterfest was put forward last week, they thought the motiqn was effective. He says mosf councillors did not expect the non-confidence motion which was passed immediately thereafter. “We weren’t thinking,” Tudor replied when asked whether council could have removed Carmichael’s signing authority imi mediately after the nonconfidence motion, Tudor says discussions -continued after the meeting, and “We realized there was mo’re there than we thought.” He went on to say, “In consultation with ‘gtudents, it became apparent students were disappointed, aqd that people were expecting a .resignation.” “No one has come up to me and said they were disappointed with what council did,” said Tudor.
Board member Stephen Markan comments, “Shane was elected as VPOF, so you can’t play around with his powers too much without a referendum. Students s’hould have the final say.*’ In order for a referendum to take place, a petition bearing signatures of ten per cent of undergraduate students, both full-time and part-time, would have to be firesbnted to the Feds, Close to 2,500 signatures would be required. . At the meeting, the Board also passed by-law amendments adding the word “normally” to the clause which stipulates that the ?oard:s Chairperson sh$l be, the President, the Treaiu& be.the VPO‘F, atid the Secretary the VPUA. These changes passed 43-o.
According to Chamberlain, “There is no question the recent controversy prompted the changes.” However, he feels the amendments were not needed in order to ptive the way for a Council motion to remove Carmichael’s signing authority. “The Board could have waited until after a council meeting to change the bylaws,” he said. Markan says the motion toremove Carmichael’s signing au-. . thoritv will probably be put forward at the December 4 council meeting. Chamberlain, however, feels things are quieting down. “My impression is that things will stay- as they-are,” he said.

INew look at JFK case iv by Henrietta Imprint staff

doctors say it exited: the back of his head. Their facts were based on reports from the doctors at Bethesda Navy Hospital, Washington DC., where John was flown later on that day. The Wa.rren Commission avoided the Parkland doctors’ reports in their proceedings. Apparently, as the Citizen’s Justice Committee and thousands of others have speculated on, JFK’s body was altered from the time it left Parkland hospit al, at 2:00 p.m., and arrived at Bethesda hospital, approximately 6:45 p.m. Thi presentation had t_h&e in attendance considering the following: He left in 400 pound bronze casket, He arrived in a grey metal shipping casket, encased in a body bag.

Although .he feels they still did not go far enough, he added “we are taking a strong position on a difficult matter.” Currently, &ee nuclear weapons are produced daily in the U.S. and more than $300 billion a year is spent on the military, while some five to seven billion dollars was recently slashed from government medical expenditures. He praises Canadian Catholics for having the most militant anti-nuclear stance and is pleased the church has come into the nuclear issue where .they have never previously been involved, He admits however, “1 would love to see some more visible results. A constant stream of reminders from Rome would have a great impact, we would be s&n as a peace church.” He points to the example of three Catholic bishops in Texas who produced a paper banning any Catholic in that state from working in’s factory which pro. duces nuclegr weapons.

-Davis Centre controversy by julia Cospve imprint etaff The November 10 opening of the William Davis Research Centre was a celebration of technology that successfully suppressed, for a couple of hours, the controversy associated with the $50 million project. The’ overbudgeting ,and general cost of the project has been questioned by both students and many faculty members. UW President Doug Wright maintains that although the building did go over budget, due* to a change in the economy at the onset of the actual construction, the overall cost of the building per square foot was still very reasonable, Wright also claims that other areas of the campus, especially the,arts, were not adversely affected by the cost of the Research Centre since the project was specifically funded by the -governL ment and various corporate
partners, Some faculties do not agree. @e department chairman expressed disapproval of the building’s funding, stating that the department was specifically required to forfeit much needed funds for the new building; Dean Robin Ranks of Arts, said the project. made- a “substantial draw from the university as a whole,” and that Arts was at “no disadvantage relative to the rest of the university.” However, because Arts have the highest ratio of students to faculty, any budget restriction is keenly felt. Faculty ‘and students alike agree the new building has f&d up much needed space: .Waterloo had the lowest ratio of campus space per university student in Canada. Federation of Students President Adam Chamberlain, believes the cost of the Research Centre is not an issue at this point in its completion, but agrees the source of the funding is a cause for concern, The new
Research Centre -undoubtedly “put a bit of pressure on campus,” despite Wright’s claim that UW programs and operations were not affected by the project. Chamberlain also expressed concern over the implication of using corporate sponsorship as a premise for the base funding of the University. Although corporate funding has been crucial to Waterloo’s extraordinary and rapid development, such funding establishes a precedent of the university’s ability to obtain external financial support. Direct government assistance could be diminished. Contributing sponsors ma also insist their specific tee x. nology be exclusively used on campus, dangerously limiting the breadth of technology available to students, as well as dictating the types of re:

After strong applause for a clear and interesting speech, Gingerich answered questions. One point he repeated was that as a scientist, he found the universe very difficult to understand without understanding it in terms of a designer. This concept gave greater coherence to the tapestry of scientific theory and observation than theories that state the universe develop&l by pure chance. In response to another question, Gingerich stated sin fit into the scientific tapestry when God . surrendered part of the power of choice to us, in the process of making us human, Finally, Gingerich was asked. about the place of other religions vis-a-vis Christianity. He replied that God has many avenues of faith and revelation, but He is difficult to comprehend through science: God can best be understood through a person, Christ, which is why Christianity has a pre-eminence over other religions. At the conclusion of the lectube, we were invited to touch the oldest object known, a 4.8 billion year old chunk of meteorite. This thought-provoking letture will be broadcast on CBC AM, December 26, 9:00 p.m. on the Ideas program. .

This problem, he said, is not a result of the majority af.the people, but rather the seven per cept who own 93 per cent of the land.

Many participants are needed for this event to be a success, and Julian Pope, the leading organizer of the Model UN., is already looking for them. On Tuesday, November 22 and Thursday December 1, a booth was set up in the Campus Centre to recruit delegates. “Many people are not aware of what goes on at the U.N. and this event will help remedy that,” said Pope. The Model UN. can also be “a lot of fun for the people t al&g part .” A Model U.N. simulates the activities of the UN.

Delegates “pretend to be the actual representatives of the various countries in the UN,,” said Pope. “The Model UN. will attempt to.

Rabbi recalls “oddity” of *German Jew lay Daneal Charney Imprint staff In eighteenth century .Germany, the “first modern Jew” was born out of an isolated Jewish community called Dawsau. His name was Moses Mendelsshohn, On November 17 Rabbi W. Gunther Plaut talked on the “The Modernity of Moses Mendelesohn (172%86),” the annual Spinoza-Meir lecture. Plau: began his leicture by describing the life of the 18th century for the Jewish people in Germany, They lived in ghettos, belonged to a class of second degree humans, and “were tolerated, but little more,” In this time was born the man who has been compared to the two great Moses before him, namely Moses Mimamitise and the Moses of the ten‘commandments A small, deformed man, Mendelssohn left his Jewish community and escaped to Berlin to further his education. He was never allowed to forget his second degree status, On his way to Berlin, for instance, he was made to pay head tax, as is paid for cattl& After years of study in several languages and mathematics, Mendelssohn gained the respect and friend&p of several members of the gentile community because of his intellectual ge-
nius. As Plaut noted, he was viewed as an ‘*oddity” of the Jewish Community. * His hopes were shattered when the German king Frederick II dismissed his acceptance into the academy. He wanted to translate the Penta into high German, to educate children in their native tongue so they could understand the laws and traditions of their religion. The Jewish Orthodox community was enraged at his actions and charged him with trying to make Jews forget Hebrew. But this idea was the beginning of the Jewish Reform Movement today. Plaut asked, “How then should Moses Mendelssohn ’ be judged - as a herald of freedom or of ultimate cultural destruction?” He left his community’to learn High German and other studies, at a time when Jewish community closeness was vital. He began to translate traditional, sacred prayer books to the German lane, guage, Were these actions really detrimental to the Jewish culture or did they inspire new ideas? Because he tried to integrate into the gentile society, Mendelssohn is dubbed the “Modern Jew.? Dead for 202 years, his dilemma is still alive: to keep true cultural heritage or blend with the society one lives in, According to Plaut, this same conflict prevails in our society. Many isolated communities,
such as the Mennonites, believe that only total isolation from the outside world will prevent assimilation with- other cultures. The same holds true with thi Orthodox Jews in Israel, wholive in closely-knit communities. Jn Plaut’s view, this “Jewish Socrates” failed, because his success did not bring equality to

The popular conception of artifical intelligence IAI) is changing our dues about ouraelves and humanity in general, according to Professor Ronald Ragedale of the Ontario Institute of Studies in Education (OISE). Artificial intelligence is the creation of computer programs that can simulate human thought processes, Ragsdalte was the speaker at a UW colloquium entitled “AI: Artificial In- ’ telligence or Adaptive Idolatry? The theme of Ragsdale’s lecture was how, in some cases, iechnology has ceased to be a tool or servant. but has instead become the maker - setting its own agenda and forcing s&et to adjust its values according Yy, The most extreme incidence of this changing of values is computer idolatr . To il I ustrate his claims, Ragsdale used a number of illustrations. The media, he says, has encouraged the view of AI as machines that can duplicate human intelligence, by focusing on farfetched prophecies and fantasies, rather than cold, hard realities. I” Ragsdale does not believe that AI will ever equal human intalligence, and laments that the sensational minority will always get all of the press. The result is that the general public values ‘are changing, being lowered to accept what will always be inferior’ machines as their equals, As an example, he quoted Marvin Minsky, the father of AI and still one of the leading reas claiming that searchers, human creativity was just a complex assortment of rulea that someday will be reproduced by a computer. Minksy claims, “The brain is a computer made of meat.” These statements help to lower our self-@nags as people
and promote the computer-brain analogy. The result, according Ragsdale, is that it soon should not be objectionable for our children to be taught solely by coniputers, ratherf than people, even though the computers alone will probably yield an inferior education. Ragsdale attributes the notion that computers are euperior to our pride in our creations, which must always aeem better and better.
A popular “pseudo-AI” program is Eliza, a computer simulation of a psycho-analyst. Joseph Wizenbaum, Eliza’s creator, hypothesized that the program was so popular because it

Last Friday, the Imprint staff voted to not remove a strip club ad. A similar motion to give the money gained from the ad for the last two weeks was also defeated. There were several reasons given as to why the ad should remain in the paper.

Imprint editorial (October 14) came out against the Miss Oktoberfest -Pageant. In the October 28 editorial the Imprint said: “The Imprint is opposed to the strip club’s objectification of women.” Despite these past editorials, the ad remains in the paper. “Raising the issue of sexism” (October 28 editorial] never happened.

the editor,
Lyn McGinnis in his plba for tolerance and understanding states his case for Gay ordination succinctly. However there is an inaccuracy. There is no Unitarian Universalist Church of Canada. Canadians have a unique history as Unitarians rooted in its European heritage. We have emerged from the non-subscribing Presbyterians of 3iitain, who fought for non-confessional freedom of conscience. Canadian Unitarians are affiliated nationaly with the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), and internationally with the -International Association for Religious Freedom (IARF). Our policy is congregational. I am familiar with the resolution that is mentioned. In fact I was at the General Assembly as a Canadian delegate when the discussion and dialogue took place and the subsequent action of voting money to support the Office of Gay Concerns. Our ties are close with our American friends, but please do not marginalize and devalue the contributions of Canadian Unitarians as a minority group. As a Canadian and a Unitarian I under& and all too well the tensions existing between natianalcontinentalism and ism, internationalism. The pull toward reciprocity (protectionism) on the one hand and freedom of conscience (or trade] on the other is strong. An interdependent global vi&n does not negate my Canadian roots or identity.

religion as I do, seeing the ier emergence of McCarthyism in the politics of the USA and Canada in the past few months has been disturbing.

pros
and cons
We are taught from an early age that what we do with our bodies is our own business. Our doctors provide us with the facts necessary to make an informed decision about major surgery or birth control, for example, and the rest is up to us. The supreme court in one province recently ruled that a husband had no right to interfere in his wife’s pro-abortion choice. Most of tis will face a decision about the use of recreational drugs at least once in our lifetime. In all fairness, it should be an informed one, This article attempts to provide .the potential user with major facts, pro and con, concerning the use of cocaine.
Often the risk is iery small; cocaine use is difficult to detect by those enforcing the law. You don’t have to consume cocaine to be involved.,, you just have to addict. other people. Who wouldn’t want to market a product, where there was 100 per cent guarantee of return sales?
PRO Cocaine is known as the “rich man’s drug” IHowever due to the increasing demand in recent years, the price has been coming down so that it is nawwidely availabb, to anyone for about $4~, a “hit.” The first&ma, you have “nothing to lose” because the sample is usually free (often the drug will be offered to you when you are relaxed and most susceptible, eg. at parties).
PRO Cocaine is readily available to anyone in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, Some day the government may legalize its use, making it easier and less dangerous to’obtain and making it a potential source of tax revenue. _
CON Unlike marijuana, cocaine is highly addictive. Fifty per cent of first time users get hooked. Of the remaining 30 per cent, 25 per cent will get hooked the next time, and so on, Using cocaine has been likened to playin Russian Roulette: if ou are thelucky player to a ave reached the fifth 3:arrel, there is a 100 per cwt chance the ” un will go off,” No amount of willpower, “mat 1 oism,” or intelligence will stop it. Ninety-five per cent of all users will be hooked after using cocaine only five times. One expert, Dr. Ivan Perucso of Scarborough, has gone so far as to state under oath in a court of law that there is no such thing as “recreational” use of cocaine. i PRO Cocaine’s high has been described as about eight times that of an orgasm. It gives you supreme confidence.in the most daunting of situations and enables you to go for long periods of time witholit sleep, CON The high do‘esn’t last, It causes accelerated heartbeat, increased blood pressure, fa’ster breathing, a rise in body temperature, dilation.of pupils, sweating, and pallor, but within 48 hours, cocaine has dissipated from the system so that it is not detected in chemical tests. Some of the symptoms of addiction include cold sweats (the user feels cold and likes the room warmer), involu ntary muscle spasms (especially when a& mood swings leepI, wild irrational within a s h&t span of time, paranoia extreme physical pain (often well-hidden from the observer), loss of appetite and weight, difficulty urinating, and eventual impotence. Should you become addicted to cocaine and wish to reverse your decision to use it, you may find it difficult. There are only two in-house treatment facilities in Canada, one in Guelph, and one at the Bellwood Health’Centre in Scarborough. The latter costs $S,OO~ above OHIP coverage and has a 60 per cent success rate, meaning a total cost of $18,000 for two treatments plus the loss of income during this period up to six months, There is a waiting list and most people cannot afford the fee. ‘. ,1
PRO Cocaine is highly profitable for those willing to risk becdming, involved in its distribution,
CON . Under the federal Nal’cotic Control Act, unlawful possession may result. in a prison sentence of up to seven years, Possession for the purpose of trafficking carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. Importing or exporting cocaine calls for a minimum seven-year term and a maximum of life imprisonment.
CON Legalization will not alter cocaine’s phyeiological effects. Should an addicted woman become pregnant, her baby will be born addicted. These children have a one-in-ten chance of living a normal life, They must overcome a habit in the first traumatic days after birth which most adults cannot defeat in their lifetime. In addition, they are born with missing limbs, organs and are mentally retarded or of low intelligence. . CON If you .purchase ‘cocaine while it remains illegal, . ou are supporting an unofficial system, chic x is well-organized and may make it even harder for your to reverse your decision to use cocaine.

.
‘It is possible to hide an addiction from friends, co-workers or even a spouse: this was done by Dr. Martha Morrison (an Atlanta psychiatrist who has written ori the dangers of cocaine] for 17 years while reaping awards for her professional performance. It is, therefore, difficult for others to help the addict. The most common mode of administration is inhaling [snorting] cocaine hydrochloride into the nostrils. The drug may also be applied dirtictly to the mucous lihing of the mouth, rectum, or vagina. Intravenous injection is used to accelerate the onset of affects and increase their intensity. Cocaine hydrochloride can be purified and chemically altered to its corresponding free base. This form of the drug can be vapourized and is particularly potent and fast acting when it is smoked. The only medical use of cocaine today is as a local anaesthetic for some surgery of the nuse and throat; for other sites, it has been replaced by less toxic local anaesthetics, The “recreational” use of cocaine and the administration of anaeshetic do not mix. In the case of a medical emergency involvlhg anaethetic, a patient must *‘come off’ cocaine before being administered treatment. This may cause severe loss of blood, severe weakening of the patient’s condition and lower the chances for successful treatment. Do you have questions or concerns?

- Christianity’s “impossibilities?’ To
the dtor,
I direct the following comments to Ian MacBeath. , Concerning my criticizlms of Mr. Kuelk&‘s “Evidences of God” column, I would contend that the distinction which you make between “impossible” and “unexplained” is .irrelevant. Let me explatn why. Initially, I must stress I havi not brought anything new to Mr. Kuelker’s argument. I have used . his tools, not my own, to point out its inconsistencies. I agree man of the incredible events descri b ed in the Bible may some dag be scientifically expfainable, perhaps by theories that are bein developed today. But Mr.Kuel a er is arguing for Christian beIiefs from within the current body ofscientijicknowledge atid theories. It is from within the same body of knowledge and theories that I refuted his argument. I think you misunderstood my purpose, Ian. I wanted to’show
Mr.Kuelker that his beliefs could be overthrown using the same tools (the current body of scientific knowledge and theories) that he had used to overthrow the Hindu lady’s beliefs. Perhaps Christianity’s “impossibilities” will eventually be scientifically expl+inable; unfortunately, they flatly contradict the scientific knowledge which’ Mr. Kuelker thinks he is using to prove Christianity’a truth. This is not an argument against the possible scientific proof of Christianity. It is an uncovering of the inconsistencies present in Mr. Kuelker’s article of 11 November 1988. So, many elements of Christianity are impossible if considered from within the constraints of modern science, and it is from within these constfaints that Mr. Kuelker is arguing. Scientific knowledge which has not yet been discovered is irrelevant, You also mentioned that in my letter you saw “yet another ex-

After reading the responses to my column of the past two weeks, I would like to comment on a number of points. I never denied the existence of the soul. I only denied that it controlled the body from a pin-prick in the brain. I specified the lady in my example was associated with the World Spiritual University, splinter because I am aware of Hinduism’8 diverrPity and nian groups, I did’not make a comment on Hinduism in genera Y .

Man is absolutely unique in the universe. No o* p- tieing, no other creature on this planet is capable of speaking, of tirriting, of thinking in abstract terms. We alone can use language to represent our thoughts, to communicate them to people thousands of miles distant: Why? What gives us this ability? How can we account for our ability to think, to have consciousniss? nave you ever wondered why we are so blatantly different from the rest of the creatures on this planet? This is no trivial question; yet, I cannot remember it being seriously addressed in any of my university courses in philosophy and psychology. Do any of you wonder why we‘ are so unique from the animals, and yet discussion of our uniqueness is bizarrely absent? Is this not an important question that we should address in university? If you were to go about asking people what makes ua so unique, they would probably brush off this simple question and reply that it is a question for philosophy, and ignore it. Should it be ignored? Could it be that once we start asking in a serious fashion where our uniqueness came from, that we would understand ourselves much better, and possibly find the remedy to our problbms? Let’s look at what all would agree would make us uni ue. We all use language, and even Darwin agreed that man’s use o9 language made him completely uni ue from the animals. Despite years of effort, psychologists etill % aven’t taught .&imps to use language in any way that resembles human use. Why is it that our closest relatives’ according to evolution, are wholly incapable of doing something that we.do with great ease? They can use very primitive technology, but no language. And what of our consciousness? How can we think about thinking? I find it extremely difficult to believe the strict evolutionary view that interactions between matter produced something toThere are other tally distinct from matter - our consciousness. elements to our consciousness that cannot be exIjlained by matter interacting with matter. Examples of this are the universal sense of morality that things are definitely right (helping the sick) or wrong (child abuse], and theuniversal use of art and music. to man’s We’ve looked at a wide array of facts that teatif uniqueness, his humanity. How are we to account for t x ese facts? The Christian response is that man is created in theimage of God, and that we share some attdbutes with Him. Personhood originates with God as a personal being, andHe implantedpersonhood in us at some point. This 1s not a compelling argument for the existence of God. However, it does fit the available observations and explains them quite well, which is one of the criteria I stated for evaluating a religion or philosophy. The stronger point I want to make is this: how can you account for these facts in terms of matter-matter interactions? Which combination8 of 92 element 8 , our conexplains our love of music, our language, our moralit sciousness? Christianity can account for the origin oft K ese qualitiers.

I believe. my critique of the article was fine; although, I do agree that in places my letter was rather strongly worded; the only excuse I ‘can make is to say that Mr. Kuelker’s column put me into a rage for about three days. The reason for that rage is explained, at the end of this letter. I apologize, however, for any inappropriate comments I may have made. At the same time, I made some statements which were strong, but not inappropriate. I will defend two of them here. I said Mr. Ku’elker’s first premise was “dismally articulated.” Ii was. In all his articles, Mr. Kuelker has consistently demonstrated very poor writing ability. He should not be writing a column in a newspaper, I accused him of hypocrisy. The accusation was justified. The arguments he used to refute the beliefs of one person (the Wndu lady) also refute his own beliefs. But he would have his readers accept that what he believes is correct. In general, Mr. Fuelker’s columns demonstrate glaring logical faults. They do not further his cause, which is to reduce the “skepticism and occasional hostility directed toward Christianity in the university environment.” (“Evidences of God,” 11 November 1988). His ooc logic’ presented as .good Pogic, enciwrages skepticism, because readers do not have/faith in his ability to argue reasonably, My points of view were expressed in anger because I was (and still am) genuinely angered by this man who, through his ignorance, is helping to undermine the credibility of a religion ‘which I share with him, &can Saunders 3B English
Beware of King Fence posters To tha editor, King Fence has some flashy posters hanging around campus, hoping to recruit aomeone interested in making money and being their own boss. Beware. Fourty-eight people did it last year, and most regret it, . When you talk to them, everything will be appealing. They will tell you that sales will average $80,000, and your profit wil! be about $12, QOO.- This past summer, less than 10 people reached this target sales figure. This translates into poor profits for you, the manager, but doesn’t have as big an effect on the parent company, Total deductions worked as follows: 21 per cent to King, 50 per cent for materials, and over $3,000 in fixed fees, Lets take a more realistic look at a typical week: 85 hour labour week, two employees working 45 ho.urs each; sales of $3,000, and total deposits for the week - $3,000 [from completed production]. King demands you put all the mone in their account, and then they’1 Y give you the-residuals the following week,

On $3,000, King would take $630 (21 per cent). off the top, then subtract their fixed fee of $260, then deduct materials ($1,500 or 50 per cent), This leaves $610 for the week, which ou get [if they don’t hold it 3:ack].

about violence
To tha editor, I was concerned to read in Wright won’t budge on Pageant [Now 25) that Wendy Rinelia [VPUA) assesses that future anti-Miss Oktoberfest demonstrations have the potential to become violent. Personally, I support those that took part in the demonstration, and I believe that Ma, Rinella was completely within her rights to take part, even as VPUA. UA means University Affairs, and since the Miss Oktoberfest Pageant was held tit the University, Ms. Rinella clearly has a jurisdiction on the matter. Furthermore, those that disagree with her position. should note that revioua to her election as VP upA Ms. Rinella was the Federation’s Women’s
Commissioner, and used this experience a8 art’ of her VPUA election plat Porm. Her election, then, supports this experience as applicable to her role 6~s VPUA, Q.E.D. (By the way, if you didn’t vote, don’t whine.) However, I think that the considerable gains made by those opposed to the pageant would be completely lost if the demonstrations became violent. Being forcibly removed is not being violent: it reflects noorlv on those doing the reiovini by’ showing they must resort to physical force to maintain their view. Clearly, if the demonstrations themselves become violent, sympath fbr the demonstrators wou Pd disappear by the same reasoning. Keith Logan 4B CS
Merry Christmas to Free Trade To the editor, Well November 21 has come and gone and despite the. fact that, the majority of people in Canada are against Free Trade (57 per cent of the popular vote] it seems it is going through. The response to the Free Trade Deal has been surprisingly immediate. Shoe manufacturer8 in Quebec have announced they shall shut down due to the deal. This of course was foreseen by the Conservatives and was seen as a desired result. One of the “desirable” side effects of the deal was t)le elimination of weak businesses leaving room for new strong businesses and reducing inefficiencies. I would have to argue that these goals are admirable and if that were the way life were actually to unfold I would be more than content with the deal, Unfortunately I fear this is not the complete icture. The shutting B own of weak plants acroas the country will cause an imtiediate employment . problem.

The Ojibway people of Northwestern, Ontario have harvested and traded Manomin [wild rice] for over one thousand .years. The term Manomin comes from .q combination of “Manitou” which means Great Spirit and “meenun” which means delicacy. Ojibway Elders refer to Manomin as “Mani ou gi ti gahu” or “the plant the Great Spirit gave US,” hence, -0jibway consider this gift of wild rice as sacred. Over the centuries, this gift has often meant survival for many Ojibway people during harsh Northern Canadian winters. Esther Pitchenese, chief of the Wabigoon Reserve, visited the University of Waterloo last week. She epo ke of Manomin as once again providing Indians of ‘the Ojibway Nation of northern Ontario with another means of survival. Kagiwiosa Manomin Inc, is the only native controlled and operated wild rice co-operative in North America. Formed on the Wabigoon Reserve near Dryden, Ontario, in 1985, the co-op provides a way to re-exert native control over their wild rice harvesting and processing. Esther estimates that natives have been losing control over their sacred crop to non-native processors and distributors over the past thirty years. Prior to 1978, Canadian wild rice crops provided 42,~ per cent of the world’s supply. In 1978,

years. Incorporating its production into a native-controlled co-operative busineas has drawn upon their indigenous knowledge of ‘wild rice and their communitarian values while respecting their spiritual traditions. “Hiring members of the local Band community has helped Wabigoon Lake Reserve break away from the welfare system and community-wfde alcoholism,” claims Esther. This in turn,is reducing the need for government-funded social-service and assistance programs. K.M. is now working to align traditional Ojibway cultural ways with the necessary business practices required for successful management and marketing to the outside world. The k8y to its continued success is the common vision of co-operation, community and individual self-reliance, and respect for the natural environment shared by the Native worker/owners and their customers. Members of the Reserve have r& newed meaning in the Ojibway term for wild rice - Manitou gi ti gahn - “the plant the Great Spirit gave us.” For information on Kagiwiosa Manoinin, worker’8 co-ops, and native issues, contact the WPIRG office, room 123 General Services Complex.

in 1!?79, the community had a 95 per cent alcoholism rate among the adult population. Since the establishment of f’he rice co;op, the return of thqaerernonial in 1983; and the d6nstruction ” iiowwow of a community school, the alcoholism rate has dropped to 5 per cent. After 3 years in operation, Kagawiosa Manomin Inc. opened the doors to its new $4~&000 processing plant. This plant has a capacity of 500,000 pounds of finished product per year. At a time when there is at least a 750,000 pound 1 glut in the Canadian wild rice market, some people have expressed concern about the viability of this undertaking. According to the band chief, however, Kagiwiosa’s supply of certified organic wild rice will be unable to match the demand for this traditionally processed product. This year, K.M. will sell over 30,000 pounds of Manomin through European alternative trading organizations [who have exempted this Native Canadian business from their Third World puIchasing criteria] and at leaat 10,000 p&mds throughout North America in health food stores and natural food co-ops. Markets are currently being explored in Japan and several European countries. Wild rice or Manomin is a food com- r modity that the Ojibway people have processed and traded for over 1000
wild rice was introduced to California, where it was producedin existing white rice paddies. California and Minnesota [both paddy, rice producers) now account for over 94 per cent 0.fihe total world production. In response to decreasing markets for traditionally-processed wild rice, Kagiwiosa Manomin established a workerrun co-operative, Eight Indian Bands and one non-status group in the KenoraDryden district harvest “green” wild rice for the co-op.’ Rice harvesters are paid up to’four times the price offered by non-native processors per pound of green (unprocessed) rice. The harvester’s within the Wabigoon Lake Band community and other local bands have also set up harvesters’ collectives which make decisions regarding the harvest, the price to be paid for green rice, and the maintenance of the wild rice stands. Ten per’ cefit of the harvester’s salary is placed into a wild rice development pool for further improvements in cultivation, harvesting, and farming practices. Kagiwiosa Manomin symbolizes a crucial advancement for the Native people of Canada. According to Esther, it presents a viable and successful model for native economic and community development.

Under C-55 the claimant cannot appeal the tribunal’s decision on the merits of their case but merely on errors of legal technicalities. As well, rejected candidates are usually told to leave the country within 24 hours. This leaves no time fir the refugee to collect the necessary legal docuhents or receive legal counselling, After reiurning from the conference Pat McInnis commented, “Appeals which are limited to errors of law have little likelihood of success. As a result, Sill C-55 provides no meaningful appeal mechanism by which mistakes made in the decision-making process can be rectified.

Head Damaae *-atSt. Jerome’s2 & S-eagranis by Trevor Blair Imprint staff.
’
Robertson Davies, the man of Canadian, nay, WORLD literatqre graced the .halls of St. Jerome’s on Wednesday as a continuing part of a reading tour to promote his latest novel, The Lyre Of Orpheus, the third part of a trilogy that began with The Rebel Angeis and What% Bred Im The Bane. Born and raised in Ontario, Davies has more than thirty books to his credit, amongst them, the widely acclaimed Deptford trilogy. Upon ascending the steps in Siegfried Hall, Davies claimed that although finding qne section of the novel that would inake’ sense on its own was a bit of a problem, he’d found-a part that was rbasonably self-explanatory. A brief history behind the selection revealed the saga of John Parlabane, a university professor who writes a largely ignored book.To attract attention to the work, the prof murders a man hoping to capitalize on the advertising slogan The boczk a man murdered to have published, (which Davies considers “‘remarkable promotion indeed!“) Parlabane then commits suicide, leaving the manuscript to two close friends - another rofessor and Maria, a woman R e was
fond of. Maria subsequently throws the manuscript away, and after Davies warned that you should “never throw anythin-g away!” (especial1 in a unii egan to versity) the reading build from this foundation. The first chapter of part four reveals the buffoonery of a Mr. Mervyn Gwilt, who is “every inch a lawyer.” His job is to e% pose. the non-existent conspiracy against the dead author, enacted by Maria in her disposal of this obviously lost, and (although Gwilt wouldn’t admit it]

‘obviously questionable masterpiece.’ Representing ,Wally Crottel,. who is supposedly ParIsbane’s son, Gwilt flaunts his knowledge and love for Latin references that are mostly ikrelevant. He contends the work was too RAW for the publishers snd wants- one miilion dollars as a composition.’ Maria defends that the work is actually too DULL and that Mervyn’s case is mostly excrementurn’ taurorum (bullshit). George Carver, a retired RCMP and current private investigator, presents evidence that Wally isn’t even Parlabane’s son, thereby dismissing the
grounds the c&e is based upon, and throwing another wrench into the al&ady grinding. casq continuity. Wally attempts to validate his heredity claiming only Parlabane ever gave his mother the organism. “Without the org”anism how do you account for a child? FM Without the organism, no dice.” Carver retorts, “I don’t know what you’ve been reading.,. but you’re awaY off base. Take ,my wife, for instance; four fine kids... and she never had one of those things in her life. Told me so herself.” The absurd and impossibly entertaining banter continues a bit further and is then cut short by Davies’ appreciative’“Thank you.” FormerJy av actor, Davies delivered each line, amidst intermittent coughs, with force and punctuation, playing each part simultaneously. Question time. Someone wants to know about Anthony Burgess’ claim that Davies is due , for a Nobel Award for literature. “I bdmire Mr. Burgess!” spouted’ Davies, who went on to exphin the Swedish academy has recently shown itself interested in troubled countries where being a writer is considered dangerous.

The interesting thing was that there were a lot of things that I had to take on faith -when I had two pieces cif documented evidence, but no document to link them together, I had to guess, That’s where the fictional part of the book came in, But now that the files are open, it turns out that the guesses were right, and some of the guesses were so Qbvious that you have to-wonder why they tried to hide it in the first place. There really was an international network of all the ones in the novel like the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, von Ribbentrop, Harry Oakes, Ezra

In fact, I’m workidg on a play about hi8 life at the moment. I respect a great deal as a writer, bti t-he morq you research about him; the more appalling he becomes. He was actively anti-Semitic, and that does come out in his poetry; he

He knew what he was doing, It’s kind of like William Casey suddenly getting sick before he could testify at the Iran-Contra hearings. What a convenient. blood clot that was.

The bullethead legions that * congregate at concerts rife with skull-busting tuneage, had reason to be’ at U of G’s Campus Centre last Friday night for another area performance of Nomind -along with some special guests. ’ Opening the evening were new local sensations, The Has-beens From Outer Space. Being as 1 know each of the band members, I can’t really comment too strongly. If I praise them, I’d be biased: if I criticize them, I lose friends. I can say that if it wasn’t for the sound system screwing up, this would be animpressive debut. I can also say they have a very listenable power-chord punk sound. It must bementionedthat Hasbeen vocalist Paul, has proven himself to be the-hardest core of all. He’s even more hardcore than the cool drummer, At any rate, we’ll have to wait and see if these guys will become underground heroes in the future. Next up, was a relatively new outfit from Ontario’s capital who call ‘themselves Son of These chaps tend to HaPP soun like one of those hardcore bands that you compare interesting bands to, in order to prove how good they are. On the other hand, they’re really not too bad, breaking things up with some nifty instrumentals and a cool cover of disco classic, The Hustle. The headliners of the evening, and justifiably so, were four of my heroes: Nomind. Actually, I%e seen this band so many times they definitely don’t blow me away anymore, But no matter when I see them they always come across as a top-notch, powerf ul rock’n’roll band, Nomind don’t do anything real1 special in the live setting, and t Ii ey don’t

Lizards Unite! Wat.ch paintings, grow teeth! by Renate Sander-Regisr Imprint staff A Figurative Triad, the intriguing new exhibition at the UW Art Gallery (Modern Languages) features three young Southern Ontario artists: Andrew Rubin of Willowdale, Karen Baltgailis of London, and Andrew Wysotski of Oshawa. Three artists, featured in the third show of the season, Three artists, one for every month .we have been on campus, Andrew Rubin is September, a month in which the term ahead ’ of students appears clear and straightforward. We receive our timetables, course outlines and reading lists; we know exactly what we have to do during the term. Yet there is a note of s’uspense, a haze of mystery, surrounding the end of the term, Rubin’s oil on canvas paintings portray people in realistic forms and colours. Some are very straightforward: a family portrait (Daren Family], a man’s profile (Untitled). Some are subtly mysterious: a chaotic background behind a sorrowful figure (Warm), beige negative space dominating half a painting (John Kennedy), rectangular or oval frames painted on the canvas. We see clearly the subjects of
the paintingrs, rbut we ask oucselves, “WKy that background? Why that negative space? Why that frame?” We can only guess at Rubin’s subtle balancing of clarity and enigma. ’ Where Rubin”s canvasses are subtle and clear, Karen Baltgailis’ pieces are bold and full to the oint of confusion. Baltgailis reii ects October, the month in which work starts to pile up for students. We are confused and
Roughhewn!. Primitive! busy with mid-term exams, eseaya, assignment& etc. Baltgailis’ neo-expressionistic works are lapge, textured, and busy with a variety of human forms and other creatures, Her bold strokes and-shmbre colours (acrylic) mix with rustic burlap to give her canvasses a coarse, roughhewn, primitive look. Some of her pieces are definitely reminiscent of ancient art. An&t Powers shows a large, white, bull-like animal. and a small, white, human-like form with ah unmistakable erection. Shade Place depicts a deity-like character and a salamander, while Rite of Spring portrays creatures worshipping a crucified, Christ-like figure. Fascinat-
ing imagery: intriguing symbolism. With Andrew Wysotski we return to oils and look ahead into one of the new, innovative directions of visual art: computerization. Wysotski’s oil paintings and their electronic counterparts, skillfully hung side by side, are November: a month in which students start to look b9ck on everything they have learned throughout the term and compress it into study form for exams. Wysotski first produces the oil painting. Then he transfers the image to the computer where he manipulates colours and shapes to make the computer image closely resemble the painting. I In his paintings, Wysotski uses vivid colours to create energetic and active scenes. In Evening, a canvas showing a man playing the piano, small strokes of lively green, blue, orange and pink create a fluid, moving background. Rainwater depicts a bright pinky-green human silhouette sitting in a shelter while outside a bucket collect a, most likely, rainwater; The Gift II portrays vividly-coloured human figures exchanging a gift. While the colours are bright and sharp, both of these paintings are soft, gentle and poignant. I must admit, however, that I

OK, all you follcs in television land, the Gruesome Twosome are back with three more vi.deo reviews, but first, B word to our loyal readers of ox& week so far. Our last article was apparently sabotaged by persons unknown, (HI!!! II% ME, TREVOR BLAIR, HAPPY ARTS EDITOR. AI&HOUGH I CANNOT cwrIl46 ~~~SPONSIBILITY FOR LAST -S EDITING, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT MY EVIL MINIONS CORRECTLY EXECUTED MY DESIRES. I HAVE IMPRISONED ALL CAPITAL LETTERS IN My DARK DOMAIN AND WILL RATION THEM ACCORDING TO MY WILL AND MY WILL ALONE. BEWARE.) who viciously ripped out all of the capital lettering that was supposed to be in it. So, if this week’s article still doesn’t have any capital lettering, yoti will know that ia is the evil result of some communist insurgents (HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!) attemptirig to devalue the impact of our dead-on-targti vidviews. So don’t let your personal freedom be infringed fight back with the Vikings!!! Groovy Kind of Love - Phil Cola 1iIUB This is a’ blatant attempt by the ever-oil$,I%abul&% Phil to garner our favour by putting the word groovy in the title! Well, it won’t work! In thir video, taken from his mw waste of oellulaid Buster, Phil is in an abandoned warehouse [visiting the unsold copies of his album, I suppose) watching lots o’ scenes from the flick on a movie screen, while smoking ‘a cigarette and looking dour. There is lots of cool lighting effect-s and Phil with slicked back hair in a vain and, well, silly attempt to look artsy-fartey - lo and behold it doesn’t work! What a surprise! However, all that we kept thinking about, throughout the whole blip, was how much Phil’s head reeembles
an egg! It’s actually quite frightening, really, Anyway, the video is actually quite lame, which makes a berlect match to his audio sled that he calls a solo career! Rating: Dangerously UNCOOL Rush Hour - Jeae Waidlen The following are good point! about this video: one (1) cool guitar, lots and lots of water- [which actually made us feel the urgent need to urinate), lots of stibmersible mammals, i.e. dolphins, and a cute ex-Go-Go member singing a cute song in a cute w .ay, The following are the bad points: there is nothing really offensive to grab the jaded vid-iiewers attention. So, I guess it’s groovy in’ a non-offensive wa‘y, which is too bad, ‘cause with the interesting ingredients of large fish and cute wet women it could’ve * really been sick!!! * Reting: GROOVY, but just ,BAREly (get it?) AN53 NOW, A SPECIAL GOLDEN OLDIE yI&FR%VIEW!!! Crevice Tool*Buff if you haven’t seen this video, then-widen your horizons. Banff is an indie Gancl from the Canadas. This video at first glance, would seem to be about this housewife who lost her attachment to her vacumm cleaner. So, she searches frantically around the house for it, until she dives into her swimming pool, emerging with the dripping wet device, at which point it becomes really obvious what the song is actually on about, “Crevice tool” would apparently have multitudes of meanings, most of which are much too graphic to diqcusa in a paper that g&s let? ters about the wilfull destruction of rodents on album covers. So, if you want a full discussion, complete with slides, from either ‘or preferably both of the Viking Vid Vfiwers, send a self-addressed atamped envelo e to 20 Dietz Ave, South, Water P00, and will be happy to assist you, and hey, we’ll even spring for the JELL-O!!!

review them together? ‘Cause I’m lazy, that’s why! I’ve gotta get them both done, and I don’t feel like doing two reviews. So there. First up, then, is Blue Be11 Knoll. I am convinced the Cocteau Twins can do no wrong; they have once again succeeded in producing one of the most beautiful and near-perfect albums of the year. Running a close second to 1984’s Treasure as the Twins best release (and closing in with every listen), Blue Bet1 Knoll is a flawless effort. There are, of course, the usual complaints that “it all sounds the same,” and it’s true that a lot of Cocteau material does souhd similar. However, your humble reviewer must argue that the Cocteau sound has expanded with this release, most notably with some interesting keyboard and organ work. Thei production, ‘88 alwa 8, is exclellent. This ‘is music ma 8 e for digital sound, so i-t seems rather fitting that Knoll is one of the first albums in the Western Hemisphere to be released on DAT.

Ooops, seems we don’t say that word too much anymore. But this isn’t thrash, trash or skate - neither hardcore nor metal, No my friends this is a mid-tempo guitar heavy punk rock record, That’s not to say it’s a throwback or the Rayguns are stuck in the past - this album seems. as fresh as an April shower. It just catches me a bit. by surprise.

The fina word, then, is BUY THIS ALBUM! And for those of you who go for the good 01’ vinyl format, hurry, ‘cause the limited edition gatefold sleeve is really neat-o! Meanwhile, there’s the latest Siouxsie and the Banshees release, Psepshow. By now, pretty well everyone knows the Ieadoff single, Peek-a-Boo, a dmce oriented piece of pop music that has had the hell played out of it at dance clubs. There is no other Bek-a-Boo on the album, how- %Ner. In fact, nothing on this @btirn sounds like anything else on the album, which is good. No!e of the songs’on this album are really bad, either, which is good. It’s not spectacular, but it’s a. great piece of pop, and definitely the best of Siouxsie’s last couple of efforts. England has already seen two more singles pulled off of Peepshow (The Killing Jar and the exdellent Last Beat of my-Heart), and other tracks could easily fdllow. All in all, a strong e’ffdrt. * Besides (here’s where I compare the albums, folks!), even if it doesn’t reach the Cocteau Twins musically, it’s got a nicer cover. some life into the hoary old relic. .. But of course Iattiaon. isn’t without its problems. One song, CoIdbringer is truly cringeinrorthy. The lyrics .are based on the Dark Knight Returns comic - if you haven’t read the book you’ll be puzzled, if you have you’ll be embarrassed - it’s that bad. The Rayguns play it smart, they keep it short and avoid wearing out their welcome. After all that was one of the things I didn’t like about ‘punk’ - it tended to linger like the rotting corpse of a self-important house guest. Jettison may be short on quantity but mak8d”up for it with some quality tuneage.

by Andy Koch Imprint staff On their second. release, Tdronto’s Sudden Impact add the@ two and a haif cents worth to tk endless onslaught of rnerchEtndise from Fringe Product records. Split Personality, not surprisingly, sees the boys indulging in some basic, hardcore, metal and rock’n’roll. The band has all the patented playing styles down pat, The production too, is admirable. It avoids the annoying over-production that ruins many an #album in this genre, while remaining loud and clear, The trouble with this disc is that it is simply not very interesting. The band has a problem stretching beyond the standard power chords, the monotone vocals and the mundane songwriting.

Luckily, a few tracks transcend the mediocrity. Trapped provides a course in Riffing 101 and does so in an efficacious manner. Tight Rope succeeds as a tight, chugging, rock’n’roll tune that thankfully never degenerates into thrash the way most other songs do. The best track, Skin of My Teeth, benefits from a torrid pace that leaves all the slow metallic riffing behind. The best reason for purcha5 ing this album is that it is lisfenable;unlike in a live setting, where the Sudden Impact is simply too fast and intense to digest. So if you can handle some metal in your musical diet, you should consider picking up a copy of Split Personality, If not, avoid it at all costs,
The Scottish quartet have given up their bag-pipe guitars for rock’n’roll cliches. Peace In Our Country is the fourth release and it attempts to deconstruct the myth that, has growri around Big Country. Problem is that they’ve replaced their own myth with that of the collective music industry. Peace In Our Time drags along with the industry standard: distorted chord progressions, spacey special effects, and -predictably repetitive and monosyllabic choruses such as Give us peace in our time. Even bandleader, Stuart Adamson, can be heard to experiment’ with his fragile voice, straining it to

Consider the first single, King of Emotion which could be performed by any rock band, from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Giprs Tiger. It certainly doesn’t sound anything like Big Country, that’s for sure. BC have miraculously transformed themselves into committed internationalists. As agenjs of world’ unity, they launched the new album at the Soviet Embassy in London and began their world tour behind the Iron’Curtain, all fpr the sake of raising awareness and support for perestroika, This politicking has become pompous lately with god-bands like UZ lecturing their audiences and flooding the media with self-righteous gestures, Hard to tell whether BC are serious or not, For that matter, hard to tell whether the music industry is serious or not.

The first half of the OUAA volleyball season came to an end last Thursday, Novetiber 24, with the Waterloo Warriors defeating the Windsor Lancers 3-0 to run their unblemished record to 6-O. The Warriors, however, did not utterly‘ d&troy the Lancers as they should have, coming out flat in the first two \ games before finally deciding-to play the calibre of volleyball expetted of them. It is a long road trip to Windtar, some three to four hours of cramped legs on a modern $150,000 coach. The mood was exuberant, confident, somewhat lackadaisical. Playing the lowly Lancers was not gbing to present any serious problems. Even with both of the starting power hitters out of the lineup. Unfortunately for Waterloo, having two starters missing kept the Warriors off balance for the better part of the match. Team assing was not up to par, their E itting was “hyperactive” with many “phisers” sailing, past the *end-line,

Settle for third
V-ball Warriors meet match in Guelph I .
by Glenn Hauer Imprint staff No sooner had the Waterloo Warriors volleyball team crawled off the bus from Windsor the previous evening than they had to get right back up and into the thick of things. The Guelph Invitational is a l&team tournament, with a guarantee of three games. Being a strong side, Waterloo’s volleyballers were in for a tiring set of matches from Borne top calibre competition. Last weekend, three tough American teams travelled up to this side of the border to show Canada what they’re made of. Defending champion Ohio State did not return this year, but Ball State - fourth’in the ’ NCAA’8 last year - with a BUperb setter from Toronto by the
name of Chrie Cooper, was expected to cause a few headaches. Indiana Purdue is also ranked, and the U.S. Naval Academy is a young team rumoured to be full of talent. *

The third game against Ryersqn 8aw a variety of mental mistake8 that can be ccmsidered “unforced.” Moreover,any substitutions disturbed the “synof the team. chronicity” Suddenly, it wa8 13-11 for the lowly Rams. A timeout call by coach Rob Atkinson got Waterloo’s players into a businesslike frame of mind. The Warriors buckled down and served up the next four points; finally disposing of Ryerson 15-13 to win the match 3-o. Playing with a slight “twinge demonin hi8 leg,” Martins strated hi8 setting ability to the fullest when Waterloo thrashed Queen’s in the second round.
Taking all three games by score8 of 15-5,
15-6, and 15-3; Waterloo
looked likeit was ready to chatlenge for the championship. Brian Damman and the Smith brothers had their best match of: the weekend against’ Quesn’s. Hitting was sim ly “swesomd’ to watch. Midd Pe hitter- Steve Heck also showed. that hmtle certainly ays off, as he moved back and Porth’along the net with a superior blocking performance.

However, some wea-, ing to figure, out how to get our knesses were apparent in the team to gel into a confident
bunch a guys filled with the necessary killer instinct.” As expected, Ball States and York made it into the semi-finale. The difference between American and Canadian teams was made lapparent in this tourney, especially in the Ball StateWestern and York-Indiana Purdue matches. Mental -toughness and defensive desire were a trademark of the top US. players. The\ Western Mustangs were up iti all three of their game8 against the Cardinals, reaching 11 points before the opposition and taking what seemed to be an insurmountable lead. Not 80; as the ICardinals cut down their errors to nil and dug up some balls destined for the roof. Western became overanxious in their deaire to finish off the games. The frustrated Mustengs fell to the American8 3-0, failing in their attempt to meet Waterloo in the first semifinal.
Meanwhile, the physically falented York-side destroyed Indiana Purdue 15-1 in their opening game. The Warrior coach noted that “these state-side teams take it persori;a~~ wheh they get thumped Ii E e that.. Indian8 , F’urd+will not roll over and die

Indeed they didn’t, and the next game. wae ptobebly ?he meet exciting of the ent@ tournament. The Yeomen knew they were in a fight this time. Fan support was definitely ia favour’ of the Mastodons, as the wanted to see the cocky Yor E side fall into miserable defeat. Unfortunately, a couple of bad breaks and a few questionable call8 by the umpire diffused Purdue’s
momentum
in the end,
a8 they lost a heartbreaker
19-
17. They kept fighting anyway. Indiana took the third game from the Yeomen 15-11 before finally tiring and succumbing to the high flying York side in the fourth, 15-g. It was a gritty display of tough volleyball. -The scene was now set:fWaterloo VB. Ball State in one semifinal, followed by York vs. + McMaster. The Marauders
posed a problem for York, playing red-hot head8 for
volleyball the most
over their part. They
took a game from the Yeomen, but were just too weak, losing the match 3-1. Atkinson had a few thing8 to say about the Cardinals before their confront ation, “In our series of matches with them over the past few years, the record is 2-1 in favour of our side, I’m sure their coach ia telling their player8 this, they will be gunning for UB. Ball State is

was match point. Don’t let these guy8 get into it.” Waterloo didn’t give up. Some determined defense and hitting’ and it was 13-1~ The momentum and emotion of the match seemed to be swinging towards Waterloo. However, it was not to be. Two mental letdowns led to two consecutive service aces by the Cardinals: the match was suddenly over, and Atkinson was not a happy man. Atkinson was more upset by the fact he wanted to play in at least two quality matches over the weekend. York was a team that definitely needed a beating. Preferably, of course, by his own team, the Waterloo Warriors. In a more light-hearted moment later on, he said, “We can warm u with the best of them, I love aP1 of the roofing done during hit-
ting practice.” As it wa8, biterloo faced &Master in the anticlimactic third place game. The Marauders played
very well and kept the
games close, but the Warrior8 swept them aside with victories of 15-8, 15-12, and 15-9. The York Yeomen were the beet team on this particular day. Ball State war tired, laying tough but not hard enoug R to defeat York. The Yeomen have the

After the game, Chapman warned McCrae, “you made it through tonight, but you’re going to be in trouble by Saturday.” The soothsayer Chapma,n couldn’t have been more accurate.

LAN’GUAGE
The University of Waterloo Athenas basketball team finally demonstrated they have the ability to play in all 40 minutes of a roundball contest. Despite two losses to Lakehead University in a doubleheader this past weekend, the Athenas proved to themselves and to coach Leslie Dal Cin that they are capable of playing with some heart and enthusiasm, elements that haven’t been visible in previous outings. The Athenas travelled to Thunder Bay _on Friday, November 25 to play the Lady Norwesters in their opening matches of the regular season. Waterloo handed Lakehead their first victory, shooting only 32 per cent from the field and an atrocious 42 percent from the free throw line. The Athenas were outrebounded 46-31 and turned the ball over 27 times - not what it takes to win, definitely. As iti the pre-season, the team didn’t execute the offense effectively and were intimidated by the opposition, allowing many uncontested layups and rel bounds. The final score was a disappointing 65-42 in favour of Lakehead. Rookie forward Brenda Kraemer led the scoring for Waterloo with 11 points, followed by Michelle McCrory who netted nine. Sometime8 a face-to-face confrontation’ with the tputh is what is needed to inspire some pride and enthusiasm in a team that is lacking self-confidence. After watching a local cable-TV ceplay_ of the previous night’s pounding, the Athenas bounced

back on Saturday with an intense, exciting display of basketball. Waterloo came out fighting and didn’t let up. It was not the same team as the previous evening and the Lady Norweaters knew it early. The score read 3s 30 at halftime. , The post play of Corinna Lueg, Jane Willett, and Leanne Grickson was exceptional, forcing Lakehead to go to a zone defence early in the second half. Scoring 22, .10, and seven points respectively, the three forwards also ruled the glass, ripping 11, eight, and seven rebounds. Overall, the Athenas out-rebounded the Norwesters 38-21, a considerable turn-around in the 24 hours. In the end, the Athenas came up short by three points. The defeat, a score of 59-56, was accepted with heads high and pride restored. However, there are many areas still to improve: the 51 per cent from the floor, 50 per cent from the foul line, and the 27 turnovers. The comeback’was a step in the right direction.
All twelve players will have to continue to play with the confidence they showed on the weekend. Improvement on obvious weaknesses in shooting percentage and turnovers is a must, if they hope to capture a birth in the OWIAA playoffs in February. With the addition of a strong Lakehead team into the West Division, the fight for the top four playoff spots is even more seuere, Coach Dal Cin was pleased with her team’s effort iti the second game, but added there is still “a lack of concentration for several minutes a same. We have to put it all together for 40 minutes each game. We can’t afford to have even short lapses.” The stiff competition in the West Division does not allow room for the occasional bad game. Waterloo travels to Windsor tomorrow (Saturday) for their final’ contest before the Christmas break. The next hotie game for the Athenas is cm January II at 6 p.m. in the PAC when they host the Western Mustangs.

Athletes of the Week- =====T=+ ATHENA OF THE WEEK 1 JULIA FARRELL - VQLLEYBALL Julia Farrell, a second year Biology student, has been selected as the University of Waterloo and Labatt’s Athena of the Week. Julia is a local product from Kitchener, who attended Forest Heights Collegiate. The starting setter was very effective in controlling the offence during consecutive 3-o and 3-1 victories against Lakehead University on the weekend. Throughout the weekend, Julia sparked the offence with 10 service aces and and then led the defence with 24 digs. Last season, Julia was selected as co-recipient of the Athena volleyball MVP award, She is also a previous winner of the Athlete of the Week award, Based on her performance this past weekend+ Julia should be able to continue to run the offence during the 1988 season.

The Warrior blueliners made mistakes typical of fatigued athletes during the last five minutes of the period and looked particularly ragged for the final sixty seconds of regulation time. Overtime proved ir-&onsequential with Waterloo taking hard shots early but unable to mount a steady attack. Bishop turned aside 30 of 32 shots in the game to lower his and the team’s goals against a+ erage to 2.67, good for second place behind McGill’s Jamie Reeve backstopped Redmen at 2.50. In other action around the the Wilfrid Laurier league, (%1&n Hawks are witnessing their own resurrection with three big wirls last week, First, a 6-1 humiliation of York on their own pond and then a S-3 victory over the Windsor Lancers, ousting them from first place in the West. Finally a 7-4 victory over the Western Mustang scoring machine, keeping the top three close in OUAA’s CenCral division.
