Tuition: Board of -Goverriors talks it >up by Mike Sore Imprint staff

Despite calls by Adam Chamberlain, Kirsten Morris, Tim Jackson and Paul Kotturi not to accept the proposed 7.5 per cent increase in tuition, the Board of Governors did so on Tuesday afternoon. As a result, the tuition paid by UW students as of May 1, 1989 will increase by 7.5 per cent, while the actual increase in sub= sides for student programmes by Premier David Peterson’s government will be only 3.7 per cent. 8 Usually the government increasea subsidies at the same rate as tuition; however, the Ontario governmznt is thi!! year ali locating the other half of the 7.5 per cent to projects such as the accessibility envelope, French language and bilingual programmes and the faculty rene.wal programme, In the past these projects have been funded separately. This is the first time university students will be asked to foot a higher increase in tuition than the government will be subsidizing. The increase is also . higher than the rate of inflation, Concern was expressed at the meeting’ ihat by approving the one-sided tuition increase the board would be setting a precedent which would result in fur ,Pure one-sided tuition increases. ,$n an attempt to curb this concern, the board added a clause to

the proposal stating that the board was accepting the increases reluctantly. Despite the high increase, students in the future may look back with envy at the “good 01’ days” when tuition increased by only 7.5 per cent. Following the lead of the University of Western Ontario’s Board of Governors and on the recommendation of UW’s Board of Governors Executive Committee, the board began discussions on Tuesday which may lead to their calling on the Ontario government to deregulate tuition. Opening discussion on the matter, UW President Doug Wright explained to board members why UW has been forced to consider such an option. *‘The problem,” Wright said, “is that in actual dollars we are losing purchasing power compared to fifteen years ago. To balance the university’s budget we have h.ad to decrease- the quality of education, mainly by not increasing faculty as required. The circumstances under which we operate and the services we supply to students is in decline.” Wright feels the money needed by Ontario’s universities to attain high standards of education is not likely to come from the government, “it is apparent universities are at the bottom end of the government’s priority list.” According to Wright the w is

InRpr@i aff Tuesday’s Senate Executive comdttee meeting saw little opposition to a revised proposal which could take the Miss Oktoberfest pageant off-campus. -In a vote that was one short of being unarrimous, the cominittee decided to ass the motion on to Senate to Ee considered at the Febr$ary 20 Senate meeting, Put forward by Federation of Studmte President, Adam Chamberlain and Kirsten Mocris, president of the Graduate Student association, the motion is a irevision of a similar one put forward at the January 3 Senate Executive committee m,eeting. Th6 . revised motion gtatee “this event (the pageant] is not in keeping with the general principles of university policies 65 and 33 which commit the university to provide a non-sex.ist environment for work and study.” + It states, as well, that while the university is not directly responsible for the event, the perception exists that the university is at least a willing host, if not a sponsor.

Based on ihese concerns, and in view of the increasing attention drawn by protests over recent years, the motion to be presented to Senate for consideration recommends that “the President and the Board of Governors encourage the pageant organizers to find an off-campus venue for the Miss Oktoberfest pageant .” Student council bad moved in its January 22 meeting that Adam Chamberlain approach the Oktoberfest committee regarding the bad publicity surrounding the issue, but Chamberlain, at the time of the Senate Executive committee meeting, had not had any of his calls returned. Although the motion has been passed on to Senate, it may not necessarily be decided there, The decision of the theatre committee, which was unknown at press time, may resolve the issue before it goes to Senate+. Chamberlain has’stated that he feels the Feb. 9 theatre committ.ee meeting chaired by Ernie Lucy will indeed have decided on the fate of the UW hosted pagewt*

“I didn’t want to come here,” said Pati Suzuki to a full house at UWO’s Alumni Hall Wednesday night. Suzuki had reluctantly come to debate Philip e Rushton on’ Rushton’a controversial publitiation dealing wit rl evolutionary source of racial differences. About 200 protestors weti crammed together outside the hall chanting such slogans as, ,‘One race, the human race,” and “Out, out, Rushton.” Also evident were several members of the white supremacist group, New Order, who were handing’out flyers entitled “White and Proud.” In his opening statqment, Rushton restated his findings, published in his recent paper, erititled Evolutionary Biology and Heritable

Traits.

In short, the theory cites &fferences between Orientals, whites and Blacks based on the time of divergence of genetic lines. According to Ruahton, Orientals have the highest average intelligence, followed by whites and then blacks, Suzuki responded emotionally’ sayin that Rushton’s “manstrous claims” should not be dignified t y giving them such a public forum. :He expressed outrage that’ he had to consent to epeak because not a single prdfessor or student at Western was willing to debate Rushton, He said Rushton’s ideas have “no ecientific validity.” The debate sometimes degenerated into accueations and moral Dutrage on Suzuki’s part, a sentiment echoed by the audience. Time constrictions make’it impossible to give full treatment to this qven:. The next issue.wtil carry a more in-depth analysis.

stated plans to freeze tuition, to lobby against the present hike, and efforts to increase grants, OSAP, and bursaries. Some old issues were also rehashed, principally, the Canadian Federation of Students [CFS). Both candidates for the VPUA position expressed positive views of the CFS and pointed out some of the advantages that membership would provide, namely the series of speakers that brought Jean Chretien and Stephen Lewis to Waterloo, In light of last year’s referendum, both candidates recognized the importance of providing the students with more information about CFS before they make any further decisions.

As the talk returned to finance, one curious student sought to question the source of funding for the proposed Student Life Building. In response, the VPOF candidates informed the audience. the project is a longterm plan to take effect over a period of four to five years. The university has “almost” commit ted itself to financing half of the cost and the re-. mainder would be attached to student fees over a “long period of time” - approximately $35 per student per year. One student then asked about the idea of the university cooperating with the City of Waterloo over the Student Life Building Plan. While both presidential candidates expressed enthusiasm over the joint effort,’ Stephen Markan emphasized the importance of maintaining student control over the project and facilities,

Presidential candidate Dave Readman Some contention was raised amongst the candidates over the safety van issue. While they all commended this “great service,” only the presidential and VPUA candidates stated they would “like to see more of it” and perhaps double the current $30,000 per year budget allocation. The two candidates running for the operations and finance portfolio would like to market the Walk Home Program and explore other avenues before possib1 investing in another van.

In response to the poor and sometimes even absent lighting in certain areas of campus, the candidates expressed concern and stressed the importance of this issue.

Joke candidate is turned away by Marie Sedivy Imprint rtaff There is concern that a dangerous precedent may have been set when a student was dissuaded from running in the upcoming Federation of Students election. When James Calnan presented the election committee with signed nomination forms for all three Fed positions, he was persuaded he would be running in bad faith since he could not hold all three positions under the Federation bylaws. Fedeiation bylaws state each of the three positions are to be represented on the Board of Directors by three distinct individuals. However, there is no bylaw prohibiting a person from running for more than one position. According to Paul Obeda, a Math councillor who expreseed his concern at the last student . council meeting, in trying to avoid a precedent, Federation President Adam Chamberlain and Chief Returning Officer Matt Snell set a worse recedent “by choosing who cou Pd run,” W’s a very dangerous thing in a democratic

if he was to run for all three positions. Calnan decided if he could not run for all three, he would not run at all. Calnan says the campaign was intended as a joke campaign, h part to raise the profile of the Fed elections and as a statement, against apathy. He had no intention of winning, as he does not expect to be on campus next year. Although there is no joke campaign this year, there have been such campai ns in the past two years, Cham I! erlain admits joke candidates in the past have not been dissuaded from running; although, they may not have intended to win. However, Chamberlain feels this is a clear&t case; “We wouldn’t let iga run for President either,” /!Ae says. Calnan says he wanted to do somethin original by running for all t ff ree positions. In his view, the bylaws do not prohibit such a campaign. Obeda maintains that it should have been up to the electorate to decide his fate. The 30 students who signed his

GovY to fund .Francophone colleges by Jamie Boyes Imprint staff During a month,marred by renewed controversy surrounding the divisive French-language issue in Canada, the federal government, in a joint iliitiative with the Government of Ontario,’ has taken a positive step toward meetinn the nrowinn needs of francoihone itudent% in Ontario.

OTI January 12, Lucien Bouchard, Secretary of State, and Lyn Mcleod, Ontario’s Minister of Colleges and Universities, announced plans for the establishment of a Francophonecollege of

applied arts and technolog in the Ottawa area, as part of an eight-year, $100 million agreement between the two levels of government. In ad$tion to the establishment of a college in Ottawa, services will also be enhanced in Northern and Central/SouthWestern Ontarioafter study and consultation with the Francephone community in each region. “Since the Government of Canada is committed to streng. thening the vitality of the official-language minority communities, as outlined in the new Official Language&t, this

project is a natural given the fact that half a million Francophone live in Ontario,” said Mr. Bouchard. “This number,” he added, “represenfs more than half of the total number of Francophorie living outside Quebec,?! Despite the praise heaped on the initiative by Mr. Bouchard, and the obvious gains to francophone students, the Ontario Fed-, eration of Students greeted the announcement with measured enthusiasm. “We are encouraged by this step toward accessibility to post-secondary education for Francophone students,” said

Shelley Potter, OFS chairperson. “However, their needs are not yet being fully addressed,” she added. The Ontario Federation of Students supports the establishment of three Francophone colleges in Ontario; however, OFS officials feel the government has erred in choosing Ot-

tawa as the first riority for the location of the coPlege. The location of these institutions is critical,” said Ms. Potter. “The first priority should have been to locate the college in northern Ontario, with the se= cond and third to be established in the eastern and southern regions of the province.”

Trees, trees everywhere by Jackie

McMillan

Canada’s forestry industry is facing difficult times. Although Canadians have a long history of being “hewers of wood,” timber extraction rates have been stepped-up in the last few decades. If current logging rates continue as projected, we will not have any (virgin?) trees left to log within the next two decades. One out of every ten Canadians will be directly affected by the “crash” of the logging industry, and the remaining nine tenths of the population will suffer from the loss of this large industry: socially, economically, and environmentally. The Canadian forest industry is in serious , trouble. Quebec has no trees left for its pulp and paper industry, If the whole country runs out, we will have destroyed much more than our natural heritage. Over two-thirds of the land cleared of forest won’t regenerate its forest for another 500.1,000 yeara because of the damage done during harvesting. At the root of the problem is the predominant logging practices and present marketing of wood products. Canada’s economy has traditionally been based on resource extraction, exportation of raw products, and importation of refined ones. The logging industry has been able to undercut competitors because of the little effort and expense that is put into forest renewal and because of the government subsidies available to the logging industry. Since the world economy does not place a high value on raw goods, the present marketing of wood products does not support sustained yield logging practices. There is an obvious lack of consideration for the long-term sustainability of the industry and preservation of our natural rea sources. Reforestation? Recycling? These are just drops in the bucket at the present. Ontario’s recycling program is achieving excellent results because of public concern and participation. Unfortunately, paper recycling treats a symptom rather than the real cause: waste of forest products from the beginnings .of extraction through to low efficiency uses (such as the use of paper towelsinstead of cloth towels, the use of several hard-copies to get flawless essays instead of using computer soft-copies for revisions). Recycling is not as effective as it might be: stockpiles of newspaper are accumulating in warehouses because the few recycling plants are unable to process it all. Sustainability problems begin with clear-cutting, the prevalent method of tree removal. In e given area, every tree is cut, but few are chosen. Up to 12 trees are wasted for every one that makes it to market. Felled trees are rejected because they are not the right species or size, Rejected trees are stacked and burned in great piles beside the logging roads, effectively preventing the return of nutrients to the soil which the decaying trees could have provided. Further damage to the soil is done by the heavy mechinery used to fell and remove logs. Soil compaction makes life difficult for soil organisms and new growth. Left without cover or the support of living tree roots, much of the most fertile soil is eroded by wind and rain, and the existing minerals and nutrients are dissolved and eroded. New +r~s slanted on this compacted, undernour-

ished soil often do not reach the age of 20-25 years before becoming sickly and diseased through nutrient deficiencies, British Columbia is currently experiencing this problem. Planting trees on clear-cuts has been likened to putting a band-aid over a splinter; it looks better from the outside, people can’t see the problem, but the mess is only getting worse underneath, The majority of the population is unaware of the extent of deforestation and erosion. To preserve the illusion of a tree-covered north, strips of trees are left along the more travelled roads, rivers, and shorelines. Only when you view air photos or explore 100 metres beyond the shoreline will you get a true picture of the extent of deforested areas. Unlike a natural landscape, with pockets of particular species scattered through the forest, replanted areas tend to contain all the same species. Because of this, pests and diseases can sweep through vast, unseparated expanses of forest. Vulnerability to pests and diseases has only been exaggerated by the genetic “improvements” being encouraged in trde nurseries. Plant cuttings are taken from successful seedlings, greatly reducing the genetic variation in the replanted areas. Trees annually “improved” to resist di88a88 are attacked by more resistant strains of pests and diseases. Pests can adapt within a single growing season, ‘because their life-spans are so short, but the very fastestgrowing Canadian trees take over 80 years to incorporate genetic changes into the next life CyC18.

Public pressure and awareness has been increasing to reform the unsustainable practices of the forest industries. At present, court battles are ragirig all over the country, as organizations fight for changes in the logging industry. The Ministry of Natural Resources is-finally being required to undergo environmental assessments of its logging activities. Given that the people of Canada will be affected by any alterations in forest management, Canadians need to be informed a0 they can lobby for reeponBible, sustainable changes, We need to change both our forestry techniques and our perception of how to use our resource of century-old trees. Not enough is known about the edmplex forests and their inhabitants. Areas which might be extremely valuable in an untouched state are being destroyed before being properly studied or pr888rv8d. ’ Appropriate farming of forests could prevent the destruction of sensitive areas unlikely to recover. The industry must change, and people must conserve forest products to protect our remaining forests for more sustainable uses, Wilderness trail systems could bring revenue from tourism, and selective logging could be locally profitable if the products were refined locally. As a result, our natural heritage could be maintained,

COMMENT

jobs

Open letter to Doug wright The following article is an open letter to the president of the University of Waterloo,. Imprint has agreed to pubhh the letter which will have been sent directly to Dr. Wright’s office - according to Q representative from Students Against Militarism. Dear Dr. Douglas W. Wright: As students of the University of Waterloo, we would like to express our appreciation for the educational opportunities available to us here - especially the university’s most notable feature: the Co-operative Education Programme. Practical experience gained on Co-op work terms serves well to compliment our academic education. However, as members of the University of Waterloo community, we are deeply concerned with one aspect of the Co-op programme. *Through research, we have discovered that a number of organizations hiring students through the Co-op system are, to varying degrees, involved in military work, The University of Waterloo prides itself in its commitment to higher education intended for the betterment of humanity. We believe the destructive nature of militarism as a threat to life and a misappropriation of resources is incompatible with this ideal, We are also troubled the information included in the Want Ads may not be sufficient for a student to discern whether or not,a given job is military related.

As a result, we have come together, calling ourselves Students Against Militarism, to challenge the extent to which the educational system is linked with militarism on the Universit of Waterloo Campus. Our main goal is to make the connection i!ietween some Co-op employers and military institutions visible to students: especially those currently facing job interviews, Our agenda will include leafletting at Needles Hall, putting up posters around campus, demonstrating and submitting various articles to the University of Waterloo Imprint I It is our hope that our actions will raise the consciousness of students on this important issue and prompt dialogue with the University of I Waterloo and Co-op administration.

kiddies.

You

how you’ve always believed that if you wanted to find boneheads, the best place to look is government. Well, Uncle Jim has news for you, Boneheads are not only thriving in the corridors of power, they also have been known to flourish in ivory towers as well. And that’s why we travel all the way to The Univarsity of Western Ontario. Before we go, we should practice a few choice words, probably slanderous but what the heck, I ain’t got no money anyways. Repeat after me, “racist@” and “cartoon science.” Ready? Here we go. Where do we find ourselves? Why&‘s outside a certain Professor’s office. Professor Phillipe Rushton’s as a matter of fact. This is where we get to say Racist, “Why?” you may ask. Well, you see children, Phillipe Rushton (Racist) believes that Orientals are genetically superior to Whites, who in turn, are superior to Blacks. Yes, I know that this goes against everything we’ve been taught in school, but Phil [Racist) has proof. And what is his proof? Well, ,Professor Rushton (Racist) has found, through diligent research, very

important

data

concerning

p,enis size and sexual activity. His source, a book by an unnamed French surgeon published at the turn of the century, com.plete with detailed descriptions of size, shape, colour and

texture of genitalia. This book, and others like it, have often been disregarded as anthroporn, but, in his diligent search for the truth, Rushton has unearthed this data (say “cartoon science). Rushton contends that, as the penis diminishes, the brain grows. And obviously, the bigger the brain, the more intelligent. That is why the elephant is more intelligent than man. That is why Professor Rushton is many times smarter than a junebug. Perhaps Professor Rushton has a small penis and would

like to believe there is a reason. This, of course, is pure speculation. I admit it, I’m not really being fair, Professor Rushton makes other arguments based on more substantial data, For example, he contends there is proof that the Oriental brain is larger, and so on down to the Black brain, which is smaller. He quotes the ‘eminent psychology journal Science, you know the one, it’s usually beside Omni, right below Penthouse on the magazine rack in Shopper’s Drug Mart. Pshaw to those who question the validity of popular science magazines. Just a few nagging doubts in my mind concerning Rushton’s ahem theories. Does he consider socio-economic status, poor nu-

trition and educational opportunities to be more relevant than his own half-baked, crackpot theories? I don’t know, these things upset me so. Maybe Professor Rushton is the academic equivalent of a twinkie. Why does this man have tenure? I can understand “academic freedom” but what does this have to do with tenure? Why does he still have a job? I mean, the guy can be a weenie all he wants, but why does he get paid to be a weenie. Someone please explain these dilemmas to me. This piece has been written with the invaluable aid of information culled from the London Free Press and the Globe. Jim Harman

To the editor,

To the editor, L Give the manequal tim,ePJI am referring to Mr. Stephen Robinson’s sexist letter in the January 27 edition of Imprint. Mr. Robin; son, you have taken a simple and misinformed approach to a complex feminist issue. r The women who are protesting “cheesecake” events like the Miss Oktoberfest pageant are also taking a stand against the “ideal woman” image presented in the media, We want to be taken seriously, and not treated, or expected to act, like frivolous love objects as presented in the magazines Vogue and Mademoiselle, Obviously women who are serious about this cause, and choose to take a stand.against it, as in the case of the Miss Oktoberfest pageant protestors, do not read trashy magazines that

encourage these negative images. The “appreciative readership” of these magazines are comprised of ‘women brainwashed by such superficial media images, and need only look deeper into themselves to “make-up and nice realize clothes” do not make a real woman. I am not saying that women should deny their femininit , but at the same time they shou Pd not rely on it to achieve their goals. It is time to shatter these “empty-headed,, stereotypes communicated through the media - and prove to the world that femaleness is not an obstacle to greatness. We are proud to be women and break traditiona tradition laid out by an insecure, male-dominated culture. Second1 the Federation of Students P&ds a Women’s Cen-

tre because the campus is dominated by men. Some of these “men” insist on dominating campus women, and so we need a forum to discuss how to protect ourselves. Similarly, history and literature has traditionally centered around men, and so the majority of courses offered at LJW lean toward a male perspective on the world and women, Consequently, a Women’s Studies program was developed in an attempt tcl even out the balance, and give students an opportunity to study both sides of the coin. So you see, Mr. Robinson, men have been given more than equal time in past and present society. Women are now just trying to balance the scales. Margie Kaal 2B English

Censorship or good’sense?

Ho efully it was unintentional an x simply a bad choEric Kuelker’s, is encouraging. That censorship was used to ice.

One of the main reasons for starting the column, if I cemember correctly, was to show the student body there is a reasonable alternative to the subjectivist philosophy that dominates on ‘campus, What Mr. Kuelker is arguing is that certain beliefs and standards are in fact objectively true [in other words, they are true irrespective of whether any particular individual agrees with them or not). The bigoted and naive approach taken to the Jewish and Christian Scripturpa on campus ‘[where it is assumed as fact that science or “progress” has sometion so that you are ph sically how disproved the possibility of able to make it home safe Py witheither miracles or divine propoout a vicious hangover, needless sitional revelation and estabinjury or death, r lished that the documents in Is one or two more drinks question are really lie-filled forworth it? geries], is of course a great part of what the column tries to expose and correct. Patrick Carty Gillian Brain The root of what Mr. Kuelker TemiLsa is fighting against lies deeper, Federation Hall employees though. It is an assortment of contradictory presuppositions the various departments expekt the student to accept. We are led to believe, for example, that moral judgments should not be made is somehow valid; it is objectively true that our perception of truth is culturally conditioned; and the thought that “no thoughts are true” is itself true.; Since this is the type of nonthe editor, sense that Mr. Kuelker’s column is trying to combat, forcing him I am writing concerning a tto accept a title that im lies subshort ad for “Imprint Art!” jectivism in matters of lzelief and ethics serves to some extent to which appeared in the January undermine what he is saying.’ 27, 198g issue of Imprint.

An individual attending a friend’s birthday party at one of the residences died needlessly, due in part to his own irresponsibility, 8%well as that of his friends.

History

I am writing to lend my support to the UW Federation of Students and the Women’s Centre in their attempts to remove the KW Oktoberfest Beauty Pageant from campus. As a former UW student, I was very pleased to see that the student body continues to play an active role in pursuing the removal of this event. The pageant runs counter to the ideals that the university has set for women. -

protesters In addition, revenue from student fees support the theatre on campus, therefore, the students should have a voice in deciding the utility of this event. Four years ago, UW President, Doug Wright, and Dean of Students, Ernie Lucy, did not heed student protests. I believe it is about time they listen to these demands that have not changed over the years. 1 will continue to follow this issue with interest. Carol Fletcher Ahunnun, 1886

One CMsh The absuJdity of life without God by Eric Kuelker I had stgted that I would be discussing legends and revision in the New Testament, but an incident in a philosophy class was sufficiently disturbing for me to change the topic this week and thereby postpone an answer to at least one letter. In class, we had been discussing David Hume, a famous philosopher and skeptic, when the prof started reading a passage from Hume. Hum6 was describing in vivid detail the clammy black misery and sour despair that he sometimes felt. He would escape his pain by going to a pub and playing backgammon until he forgot about it, and then make a philosophical resolution to act on his feelings and continue living. Since a philosophical resolution consisted of acting 0; one,8 feelings, I asked why Hume did not act on his feelings of complete despair and meaninglessness and commit suicide, The prof said’it was a very important question that he could not answer, but Hume avoided it and diverted his mind from it. One person in the class said that was all you can do in life, that is - keep yourself busy. The image is that of a skater, skating ever-faster over everthinner ice, hoping the greater speed will prevent him from falling through. The problem is that the sound of cracking ice is getting louder and closer. But why is the ice cracking? Was it the realization that if there is no God knowable to us, as Hume believed, we are alone in the cold immensity of space? Is humanity an accident of nature on an insignificant planet, orbiting a minor atar, on the edge of one of millions of galaxies? Do we face nuclear or ecological suicide alone, unnoticed, uncared for? Will o one mourn our passing or mark our gravesite? If nature just % lindly coughed us up a a chance combination of time and matter, will she not just as blindly swallow us again? What of our individual lives? We live for 75 years, but who will remember us 75 years after our death? Even while we live, how many truly care that we are here? Could not our spouse marry another? Cannot our position in life be filled by one more capable, mare talented? Does anyone listen when we secretly pray at an anguished moment? Lest you think I am overstating the case, this bleakness is precisely what other atheists have felt. Bertrand Russell said one could only l!ve on “the firm foundation of unyielding despair.” Unfortunately, the usual-firm result of unyielding despair is suicide. Sartre, Beckett, Dostoevski, and others have given us terrifying views of loneliness, misery, and meaninglessnesa - what Nietszche predicted would emerge &hen people felt God was dead. I was quite moved by what Hume, Sartre, and Beckett have written. I have wrestled bitterly with human loneliness, but both human and cosmic loneliness would be unendurable. Is there no way out? Is it truly a dead end? This is the perspective of the philosopher, but while Christianity recognises the reality of ihe problem, it has a’ different analysis. It sees it as a dense- fog instead, one such that little light can come through. Christianity tells us we are not alone in the universe, but that our vision is obscured and blinded. This blindness and fogginess makes it appear that we are alone. In actuality, God has broken through the fog, saying it is spiritual in origin, that we can see Him clearer. This clarity is given through the person of Christ, God’s revelation of Himself to this confused world. I encourage you to come out to the series on “Whatever Happened to God” this weekend. Come out to debate whether we really are cosmic orphans, whether God has abandoned US to our uncertain fate, or whether the outcoine is different.

ANSWER:

chlamydia sexually

a disease called chla-

is a relatively trtinsmitted

new disease, disease (STDJ

It is especial19 ser’ious”because many people who have chlamjrdia do iiot have any af its sytiptoms, and are therefore unaware of it. Chlamydia affects both males and females regardless of sexual orient&on. In males, chlamydia can cause inflammation of the urethra. If itis left untreated, it can lead to inflammation of the testicles, which, in turn can cause sterility, Some studies have found

a connection between chlamydia and Reiters syndrome (an arthritis-like condition). In females, chlamydia is far more serious. The infection usually starts in the cervix and can then spread through the uterus into the Fallopian tubes. It can cause scarring in the tubes severe enough to cause infertility or increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy (the embryo develops in the Fallopian tube instead of the uterus). Chlamydia can also result in pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), an inflammation of the entire female reproductive system. PID can lead to sterility, spontaneous abortions, stillbirth and, in ; rare cases, death. Chlamydia can be passed on to children during birth if the mother is infected. This can result in eye problems or pneumonia in the children. Generally, chlamydia doesn’t let you know that you are infected until it is established, and by then irreversible damage may have occurred. It is estimated’ that 60 to 80 per cent of females and up to 30 per cent of males have no symptoms - no scratches, no blemishes, nothing. The symptoms that do show up in females include itching or burning in the genital area, vaginal discharge, dull pelvic pain and bleeding between periods. Symptoms for males include p&ful urination and a watery . discharge from the penis, If you think you have any of these symptoms [or that you might have had sexual contact with someone who does], you should see a doctor immediately. Spedifically request a chlamydia test be-. cause it is not included in -the standard test for STDs. It is important to note that chlamydia often occurs with gonorrhea. If you have (or have had] this STD, you should be checked for chlamydia as well. Chlamydia can be treated quickly and easily with antibiotics such as tetracycline. You should also inform anyone with whom you had sexual contact in the 4-5 weeks before the symptoms appeared that they might be infected. Finally, to reduce the risk of getting STDs such as this, use a barrier method of birth control (condoms or diaphragti) even if you already use another method. If you have any further questions, talk to your doctor or contact the Birth Control Centre. This column is prepared by volunteers of the Birth Control Centre.

exchange term in A/anjing,

Student experiences by Wanda Bacchue Imprint etaff

Every so often UW’s Gazette, the weekly campus information bulletin, runs ads about exchange programs offered to students interested in doing school terms at various universities across the worId. Surahbi Shah, a 3rd year systems design student here at UW found one of these ads, regarding exchange terms between the province of Ontario and the province of Jianysu, China, of particular interest. Shah submitted an application and a proposal to the section of the Ontario Ministry of Education responsible for the selection process and found herself at Southeast University, Nanjing, China, pursuing independent research in the field of biomedical engineering.

Tension escalated to dangerous peak “It was just like being on a work term,” Shah said. She even got funding to finance her expenses while at Southeast froma scholarship provided by the exchange program, Opportunities such as this are undoubtedly. the envy of most, perhaps even dreams come true for some. However, Shah’s enviable opportunity soon changed from its dream-like potential to a near living nightmare. By the end of term, Shah had watched as racial tension between frustrated Chinese student8 and foreign students escalated to a dangerous peak. When she left for home on December 28, Shah had seen Christmas in China overshadowed by brawls, rioting, demonstratione and violence of the sort that left her concerned for the well-being of the friends she’d made amongst the other foreign students during her stay. Southeast University runs ex-

countries and universities the world over, but a particularly

large segment of their foreign student population comes from AfiiCa.

“The African ‘students are there for political co-operation [between the two countries)” Shah explained. African students also enjoyed the same privileges Shah did as a foreign student, such as better funding, including more spending money than the Chinese students, and less cramped dormitories. Yes, that’s correct: students at Chinese universities get an allowance from the government. All expenses are carried by the government; the student has nothing to worry about except schoolwork. There is a catch, Only a very small number of people will get to go to university. Shah gave an approximate estimate as being 5 r;t;;+n’ of the total youth popul

Chiha’s overall population is known to just about everyone is being very large. One need not compare Shah’s estimate with the same types of studies from other countries to understand the highly competitive nature of university applications ,in China. Once successfully part of a campus in China, students can expect crowded campuses, crowded lectures and crowded. living space. Shah described Chinese student room8 at Southeast as holding eight people per room. Bunks line each wall and a table with eight chairs dominates the centre. Even the library is crowded, After graduation, the prospects are often as bleak. Mundane, dull jobs with mediotire pay are forced on students who feel obligated to companies who have perhaps helped with their

expenses.

think Africans are getting off easier,” in that the African students have better living conditions in terms of space and more money to spend. In reality, Shah pointed out that these conditions are a step down for African students and that they come to China only to satisfy their own government, in a lot of cases.

The same students at the head of the fine boycott also were reported to be instigators of a fivehour sit in at the college finance office, preventing staff from leaving and even accompanying them to the bathroom in retaliation to having their accounts frozen for not paying the fine. This lead to three days of rioting starting at a Christmas Eve party for foreign students at. nearby Hehai University, also in Nanjing. Shah said this was a planned event designed to convince foreign students of the need for a wall. The officials at the dance began a new policy requesting that every African sign their guests in,-and that the guests.show I.D. When two Chinese girls refused to show any I.D., fearing visits by Nanjing police to their. parents, their African escorts attempted to get them in regardless, The ensuing brawl erupted into a riot and lead to the foreign students’ dormitory being sur-

Conditions a step down for Africans. Even (bough Chinese university authorities try to discourage foreign students from interacting with Chinese students by restricting access to each others dormitories and posting doormen who keep an eye on who’s visiting who, Africans often date Chinese, which sometimes leads to inter-racial marriage, although this usually meets with great opposition until the couple leave the country. “They (male Chinese students] think this is how they (African students) pay UB back - go out with our girls” summarized Shah, and the vicious circle of frustration, resentment and retaliation has begun. Even though African students come from all socio-economic backgrounds “the Chinese would make negative generalizations regardless” Shah said. Foreign students are allowed more freedom of movement as well, and can get into restaurants and hotels that Chinese students are refused access to, and shop at better stores and are served better food in their dormitories. Unrest in Nanjing began following the erection of a brick wall around one foreign student’s dormitory. Authorities claimed the wall was for their own protection, but

We began this term with

stories of racist and sexist “jokes” being transmitted through UW’s computer system. Last week, it was discovered our bookstore sells paperbacks containing even worse examples Of bigoted “humour.“. Bigotry is based on the fear of the unknown “other? Be the “other” another race, another religion, another sex, or another sexual orientation, the motivation for classifying these groups as second class citizens is fear founded on ignorance. The so called “good old days” were only good if you happened to belong to the “right” sex, race, religion... etc. Its this mentality that riow feels so threatened by the gusts of’ fresh air and the increasing percentage of “black” and “yellow” faces intermixed in society these past few decades. A backlash to this reality is the appearance and growth of skinhead’s. In the U.S. they have become the “frontline troops” of Tomas Metzger’s “White Aryan Resistance.” There are an estimated 1,000 dedicated skinheads in Canada, most of these young, under-educated individuals are openly neo-Nazi.

Bigotry is based on the fear of the unknown “other” To simply dismiss these expressions of bigotry as a minority opinion is dangerous. We can’t afford to be out of touch with the growing alienation and resulting hostility of large portions of the population left behind in the march toward a more rational and multiculturtil society. The rising tide of anti-intellectualism exists because of a failure of our new insights being effectively communicated in a mass culture. This is the result of both negligence and delibecation. Scientists have unwittingly contributed by their past overconfidence in the general public’s desire and ability to absorb conclusions often threatening to cherished assumptions. Due to their high degree of specialization, ’ they’ve largely insulated themselves in relatively obscure preoccupations. . The military-industrial complex has a far darker role to play in this rise of irrationality; it has never hesitated in patrqnizing and developing what is serviceable to itself, And, it has never been distinguished as a champion of the continued growth and maturity of humanity. Like earlier controlling interests, such as

the church in pre-“Quiet Revolution” Quebec, the complex’s narrow, short-sighted interests are in the continued he&h of the status-quo. The most obscene element to this situation is the contribution, by public figures with intellectual standing, to ignorance and -

to have to come together and stand up against those who would profit by fear and ignorante. We need to take a page from their book on the marketing of ideas. We can’t afford to ~UXuriate in “common sense” passively overcoming growing hysteria.

The rising tide of anti-intellectualism exists because of a failure of our new insights being effectively communicated in a mass culture. intolerance. Psychology professor Phillipe Rushton at the University of Western Ontario, recently revealed at a San Francisco convention of scientists, his own particular theory of human evolution. He intends to teach Western students that evolution has made blacks “less intelligent” and “less sexually restrained” than “Orientals and whites.” The characteristic dogmatic and emotional base of this pseudo-intellectual position is characterized by Dr. Rushton’s response to criticism - “I’m right about racial group differences and everyone else is -wrong.” Effective challenge to these trends isn’t always forthcoming. Leaders of a conservative ilk have always had the advantage in being certain they know the “truth” and consequently better able to regiment their followers into obedient troops; while, libera1 individuals’ acknowledging the relativity of perspectives and the need for constant revision and continued exploration and dialogue’ are far less organized and capable of quickly reacting to conservative action, Those committed to a more just and rational world are going

Our old patriarchal society is inevitably transforming Itself, hence the anxiety on the pert of those uncritically committed to the past. As for the present generation, its so easy to simply soak tip the value assumptions - seenlingly solid and eternal - without critical examination: Hence the importance of taking advantage of university to re-examine our conceptual grasp of life. The university continues the socialization process in turning individuals into serviceable units for the military-industrial complex. Like so many other aspects of our culture, it re-enforces the message that to fulfill your potential - to succeed means fitting into the system, Universities can serve to crititally examine the value system, Our assumptions come up for unaccustomed scrutiny. Our inherited beliefs are forced to prove their validity. As long as we continue to question what we think we know, and be open to what we don’t know, there’s hope we can arise above intellectual and emotional provincialism. Lyn

Laibach by John Imprint

.Do The. Nasty loudly <at RPM covers, half the music was on tape, a third of the band were only pretending to play, aad the volume was at a level that would have worked at the Nuremberg rallies. Looks like there will be no shortage of dolts to play the bottom in the multi-media mindfuck.

Ryan staff

After a close call with the bouncers at the door to the crazy cave that is RPM, we entered into another dimension. A dimension of sight and sound where irony rules supreme and where rock and roll acolytes willingly suffer the disdain and hatred of their idols. After goading and baiting the fiddlehead for awhile and admiring the latest in black clothing, the opening act started. There was this frame that supported these sheets of glass and a guy stood within the boundaries of that frame and struck the glass in a musical way. It sounded like those wind-chimes that people hang outside their houses and was about as interesting. In order to get the best of vantage points we took up a post close to the stage - big mistake. The DJ played this endless loop of Public Enemy and old war speeches at a volume loud enough to peel the clothes off our backs. These hags in front of us started to dance in this drunken lurch, pushing us back, irritating us to no end. After about an hour of this lunacy, Laibach finally strode on stage and kicked into Sympathy For The Devil. We

stood transfigured by their spectacle of naked sonic aggression. Then two of the hags started wrestling with each other and bluhdered into us. I was more than happy to give them a push and my companion was delighted with the opportunity to grab them and toss them to one side like the garbage they are. Onstage, Laibach were pro-

the show.

I’ve got a feeling. viding the aural equivalent of this little conflict but of course it was amplified and regimented. Pounding martial rhythms, soaring synth and horn lines, growling and malevolent vocals sounding an anthemic call to arms in the total information war. Ivan Novak stood in the center, shorn head and aviator’s uniform, resembling a consumptive G. Gordon Liddy. He was flanked by two bare chested drummers who looked like models for a Strength Through Joy picnic. It became immediately obvious that these two dudes, were there for appearances onljf as half the music was pre-recorded. But the bassist, guitarist and third drummer were live.

Metal health will drive you insane.

What a scam! Stand onstage and play along with a tape of your albums. They didn’t even bother to change the song order, One Vision followed Leben Heist L&en just like on the Opue Dei

album. Laibach treated the adoring crowd with the contempt it so richly deserved, And the people lapped it up. Fools! Laibach was playing one huge joke on them: most of the songs were

Cultural Caravan climax Mouetafa Imprint

Bayoumi staff

Hometown boy Errol Blackwood proved he can skank with the best of them as he brought home this year’s Cultural Caravan at Fed Hall last Saturday. To the less-than-capacity crowd Errol earned his dreads, playing two sets of “good vibes” of hot reggae. It’s been three years since he and his drummer Ray “the general” Ruddock split from Messenjah, but Errol has a more than capable band backing him now. “There’s even a preppy guy in a button-do& shirt,” cotimented one fan. She was pleased to see Errol get into the multicultural spirit of the weekend by having a white guy [John Royston) on keyboards. Injah is the name of the band (like Messenjab - Jah see what I mean?) which, Errol says, supports him both musically and spiritually, This support took the form of several Bob Marley tunes as well as many originals from his new album, to be released in the spring.“Ooohh, I just love this,” commented another fan when Errol sang an a Capella version of Amazing Grace before ending the evening with his new single, his version of Give Peace A Chance. Laura, a huge reggae fan, then disclosed her desire to return to the earth as a reggae star “for the hair and the little blonde groupies.” The groupies were there as Errol made himself available both during the show (dancing with the crowd) and after (signing autographs]. And why not be

After playing with Burning Spear, Third World, and Ziggy Marley in Toronto, and playing in London, England, Errol says he rates the’Fed Hall crowd “up with London: there’s a lot of good energy here.” The audience soaked (and smoked] up the music to such a great extent that Errol told me he would love to come back.

Although upset with the difficulties of being an independent artist in Canada, Errol is pleased at the support he and reggae receive-at the university level. He then asked, “Is it because university people are more intelligent?” Maybe, Errol. Or maybe it’s for the hair and the little blonde groupies. Whatever the reason, Errol provided for us all last Saturday night. ,

OF THE FACE AND 3AWS

Kevin Cogliano and Ollia Davies Imprint etaff The Vikings of Video once again travel to the land of live music for another eye-opening gig review from Hell. But, being Waterloo’s premier vid reviewers, we think live mubicI is a little boring. I mean, who wants to see yet another struggling band trying tq out-mumble R&M.? Which is why the Shadowy Men From a Sha&wy Planet gig was so different , Not neasesarily good, just different, The first part of the show consisted of not an opening band, but a full-length feature film done by Dr. Suess with the groovy title The 5,000 Fingers of Dr, T. This was NOT an animated film; rather, it was a liveaction black-and-white acid trip of Floy*dian [Freudian? -ed,] proportions. It concerned a little boy’s dream of an evil piano teacher (aren’t they all) who has this Grand Guginol plan of constructing a five-thousand fingered piano in this special conservatory cum prison for

children. One child stands alone against this insidious plan, and, with the help of a plumber friend named Mr. Zabladowski, stops the evil Dr. T. in his tracks; Not exactly your average Saturday morning television fare, but definitely MIPJD-EXPANDING, especially after a couple of brews (notice the subliminalreference to DRINKING in the last sentence - yet another example

Hell hath no fury

of our determination to undermine the moral strength of today’s youth). Anyway, we really got a kick out of the movie, even though it gave Kevin some nasty flashbacks to the hours he spent in piano lessons under the tutelage of a sicko Nazi nun, but that’s another story. We highly recommend seeing it if you can, 1 While the credits were rolling, the Shadowy dudes ripped down the screen to reveal the stage set-

up behind them, and promptly kicked into their set, They play surf-instrumental music, kind of, with little or no vocals, save for the odd primal scream into a microphone. Unfortunately there isn’t too much to say about them. Their guitars were shiny, and one of the guys looked like the Buddy Holly clone in INXS, but that’s about it. Our feeling, which I think was shared by the crowd at Phil’s Grandson’s Place [PLUG), was that instrumentals are cool for about half-an-hour, and then they start to get boring. But, for that half-hour, the Men hit quite the groove, incorporating surf, early rock ‘n’ roll, and the current jangly guitar sound into something uniquely theirs. One distinct high point, though. After Kevin screamed himself hoarse asking for a request (Faster, Santa Claus, Ho, Ho, Ho! off of one of the It Came From Canada compilations), they finally played it as their LAST

What do you get when you take three eager Chicago ghetto girls with great voices, dress them in glitzy costumes, ut them ,on a stage, and’ mar E et them as evary man’s dream? The ,: Supremes? Not x@te (the Supremes were from De’truit), but close. What you get is the smash Tony and Emmy Award winning musical Dreamgirls. The Candlelight Playhotise production swept through the Centre in the Square last week. Similarities between the “Dreams” of the musical and the “SUprf!m88” are unmistakable. And why not? It’s a good story. The Dreams rise from hopeful talent contest participation, to back-up vocals for a rhythm and blues idol, to shimmering international stardom - a rags to riches American dream. Just as Florence Ballard was forced out of the Supremes, Effie, the Dr8ams’ hefty lead singer with a hefty voice and a hefty ego, gets pushed out when the group’s sweet-talking manager decides that her look doesn’t suit the sleek image he wants to market: And besides, Effie’s shenanigans were driving the other singers crazy. So much for the plot, which picks up on each character’s respective dreams and consequent manipulations, conflicts and heartaches, as well as the racial implications of blacks out to beat the whites at their music game. It’s a great story, and it has plenty of support. The various elements of Dreamgirls - acting, music, lighting, set, costumes - are so carefully, balanced that none take over the show. The costumes, though extravagant in the end, start off simply and move with the story as the Dreams graduate from babush‘kas and tacky frocks to elegant evening dresses and wigs. Their attire becoming increasingly “whiter” as they break into the all-American music scene, fin-

Hey girls, isn’t he a dream? ishing in white gowns and beadgear for their final performance, Elaborate costumes aside, the set is refreshingly simple. Since almost all the action takes place on stages (on, and backstage), the set needn’t be fancy, Aluminum towers adorned with a variety of lights move around to enable the audience to see what is happening onstage, backstage and in the wings. The same towers are manipulated to form cabarets, sound studios, nightclubs - and with a desk, table or closet, the towers become an office or a dressing room. Combined with superb lighting to highlight and guide the audience’s eyes to the right areas onstage, the minimalist set allows the spectator’s imagination to participate in filling in the empty areas and, in effect, creating the show. The music, from the opening scene at the Apollo Theatre talent show, to the Dreams’ farewell performance, doesn’t stop. It sails from early ’60s Motown and soul through rhythm s blues and pai, to ’70s disco. The songs are dynamic and varied, sung by strong and sonorous voices to superb live instrumental accompaniment. The astounding thing is the quantity of songs, but I suppose it’s easy

to fit lots of singing into a story about singers. Across the board, the acting is lively and convincing, and the singing voices are terrific, Effie, played by Lynette G. DuPre, has on8 heck of a voice - boy, can she belt it out. Her And I Am TeUing You I’m Not Going, I Am Changing and One Night Only rank among the #top five most impressive and moving songs in the entire show. My favourite character though is soul idol James Thunder Early, played by Phillip Gilmore. “Jimmy” as the others call him, is appropriately egocentric and eccentric, living in his own starry world, with wife, mistress, managers, back-up vocalists, fans, etc. catering to him. Gilmore, who has a sensational voice, plays the part to the hilt, and has lots of fun doing it. Heck, he could launch into a recording career no problem, and be ver successful at it, He x as, by the way, played every male part but three in Dreamgirls - a testimony to his ‘versatility. A combination of factors makes Dreamgirls such a smash success - the acting, the music, the set, the costumes - and especially the rags to riches story (complete with racial messages). Dream on.

And Slim Dunlap - who signed up just after the release of the band’s '87 masterpiece Fiesrsad to met Ma - proves himself a worthy addition to the lineup. In fact’- his guitar work mirrors the album as a whole: understated’ yet ultimately unforgettable.

Don’t Tell a Soul, the first new Re lacements LP in a year and a ha Pf, is being touted as the record on which Paul Westerberg and the boys grow up, or mature, or whatever. True enough, the album is the gentlest, mildest Replacements LP yet. While it may seem lightweight, though, in the end it’s as charming and potierful as any Replacements music - which

Grown-up or not, Replacements leader Paul Westerberg remains as insecure as ever, He confesses to being a “rebel without a clue” in one song, a ?oGk ‘n’ roll ghost” in another. They’re Blind sees him decidedly unconvinced by the reams of critical praise heaped at his feet over the years. And Talent Show, one of the album’s best songs, is the latest in a tong line of tunes [such as 1984'8 We’re Comin’ Out and 1987's I Don’t Know) that finds Westerberg doubting the real worth of l@s b&d. ’ As usual, his worries are unjustified. With Don’t Tell a Soul, the R&placements have come up with another winner, by taking a crucial step: they’ve gone all out , ~ ,

by P&r Brown Imprint staff So, here’s the scenario. It’s 1986, and Guns N’ Roses [the provocative juxtaposition of images at odds) releases a live EP thoughtfully titled Live Uke a

8uicida.

After the initial media feeding frenzy, it kinda dies down, and is never heard of again. That is, until the band’s staggering [literally) success of last year’s album. Then, like most flash bands, G’N’R (as we in the know like to call them) decides to re-release

as any

and embraced production values. Tinkling keyboards, poppy background vocals, and other studio +mbellishments are all over the record, Westerberg’s vocals are at their most tasteful and restrained; the familiar hoarse shout is almost a memory. Achin’ to Be flirts with country, Asking Me Lies with funk:A handful of songs - B&k to Back; Anywhere’s Better Than Here; We’ll Inherit the Earth; and I’11Be You, the wonderful first ‘single are pure and unashamed power pop, directly descended from classic albums like the Plimsouls’ Eve bore at On&.

The Replacements as a band make their presence felt most on I Won’t, the one full-tilt raveup on the album. The band pulls out all the stops, and Westerberg actually lets himself shout it out lo ud. Ironically, though, I Won’t is fbllowed by the record’s most haunting’ beautiful song. Rock ‘n’ ~011 Ghost is an ethereal lament, anchored by the drone of a mellotron, and punctuated by the twang of a steel guitar. West&erg’s vocal is the most restrained and moving of his career; he claims he’s unable to perform this song without crying. L So there you have it: with I Won’t and Rock ‘n’ Roll Ghost, the two opposing sides of the Relacements duke it out back to Ii ack. Don’t Tell a Saul, at least, suggests that the mellow side of the band has won out for tlow, Not that it matters; subdued balladry or manic pop thrills, the Replacements ‘continue to maintain the same level of excellence .they always have. Don’t Tell I Soul is as good as anything that saw release last year, and will certain1 be the equal of anything r6Y eased in 1988.

Apparently the Skulls are tired of playing second fiddle to the vastly over-rated Sonic Youth. These cats have finally decided to take the place that is rightly theirs in the pantheon of warped guitar damage groups with this, their leanest and meanest release to date, I’m sot sure why I like the Skullsters so much, Maybe it’s the primal rhythms pounding, the wailing vocals squealing or perhaps it’s the maximum riff-orama their twin guitar attack provides.

Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, New Order, A Split Second, Information Society, S-Express, it all sounds pretty much the same for me, which raises a very valid question: what the hell is a guitar-junkie doing reviewing an electro-dance record? It was 611very innocent, I tell you - it came direct from Funtone U.&A, Records, an independent label based in Atlanta, so naturally, I thought ,,, Well, if it’s any sort of a compliment, The Age Of The Thing is an electronic -dance album that didn’t bore the hell out of me, which probably n)eans it’s an electropop classic for that whole Electric Circus crowd, And I mean that in the nicest possible way. Really. , The reason for this probably

lies in the fact that, despite the immaculately produced veneer of Age Of The Thing, Pop Tarts have less in common with the ever-fashionable Pet Shop Boys and their ilk than with the technoperversity of Was (Not Was). It runs much deeper than simply their use of sampling and found voices [since everyone with a beatbox- and a seiuencer now seems to have a -sampler) or other hi-tech hijinks; it’s all in the attitude, in an inwaveringly ironic stance that pervades every aspect of their music, even [and especially) the dance conventions of the monolithic beat and monotonous washes and bleats of synthesizers designed to render every part of the body dormant save the feet. Maybe it comes of being from New York instead of London, where pop success seems to translate into a pearing in Rick Astley videos Bolled up like fashion victims from the set of Absolute Beginners, but Pop Tarts smirk knowingly through each of the eleven cuts like a stateside Kraftwerk, All of which doesn’t, admittedly, tell you too much about what the album sounds like, Urn, howzabout tongue-incheek electro-pop that’s not boring to the point of fostering a club full of dancing somnambulists. Now that is saying - - something.

I’m not too sure what to make of Cameo’s latest effort. There is musicianship here, no question about that, but the band takes it and carefully conceals it behind a shield of laughable images and ludicrous over-production. It’s difficult enough to struggle past the outlandish album package, showcasing Cameo band members puffing and preening themselves like absurd peacocks. Chains and all, it’s embarrassingly unintimidating. To the casual listener’ it sounds basically like every other synth-laden, dance club filler. Unfortunately, you get the same impression the second time around also, It proudly trundles along with a distinctly “unfinished” quality, like the band is letting us in on some demo tapes they decided to touch up. Yet, tangled in a web of confusing’ electronics lie some strong horn work and powerful guitar solos.

Well, it’s time for even us most loyal of fans to own up to it: the R.E,M. tradition of great B-sides is a thing of the past. We sensed it last year, when the twelve-inches for the Document singles were backed up chiefly by lame acoustic live tracks, And now, with Stand, the well has run dry. The two unreleased out-takes are of value for curiosity’s sake only. Memphis Train Blues runs through a familiar R&B riff; the twist is that the lead instrument is mandolin. This tune is a close cousin to earlier instrumentals like Underneath the Bunkers, Rotary Ten and -White Tornado, and like those songs, it’s more of a joke than a real R,E.M, song, The other B-side is the untitled closing track from the Green LP, and they’ve disguised it as a rarity by erasing the vocal tracks, What more indication do you need that Buck and the boys have forgotten the importance of the B-side? The chances of buying an R.E.M. 45 in the future, and discovering a rare classic like Ages of You or Windout or Bandwagon are almost certainly nil, What’s next - dub remixes?

Dominick and Eugene are two brothers. Dominick is the moneymaker, Eugene is going to medical school. Dominidk supports Eugene while he goes to school. Dominick is slow, Eugene is the brains in the family, Eugene is very protective of Dominick and will rip the tongue out of anyone who gives him a hard time. Consequently, everyone likes Dominick. I like Dominic k. Eugene is sometimes mean to his brother. This makes Eugene human, unusual for a protagonist in a mainstream movie. The movie has a very straightforward plotline. To become a doctor, Eugene must leave Dominick and go to Stanford for his Dominick is coninternship.’ vinced that Eugene is dumping him. Dominick’s fear is complicated by a totally superfluous love interest for Eugene, played by a totally superfluous Jamie Lee Curtis.

In a nutshell, the movie Talk Radio is about a flaky suit salesman (Eric Bogosian), who becomes a flaky radio talk show host, who talks with a wide range of flaky callers. Mind you, this is not ordinary talk radio, this is “shock radio” where the host is a source of venom and insult, and the caller is the subject of abuse. The purpose of the show is to enrage, entertain and otherwise satisfy the listening audience’s impulsive, need to be verbally brutalize d, Sound like fun? On another level, the film, directed by Oliver Stone, (Platoon, Wail Street), is never far from ethical concerns, Early in the film, Stone makes it quite clear that the world of radio is an intense furnace where reality is controlled, contrived and finally manipulated in the higher calling of greater listenershi . All this has been said % efore by other radio music industry films, but in Talk Radio, the human element never becomes submerged under gloss and hype. Rather it struggles to the surface, if only to find out how pathetic it really is. Stqne. aptly displays the rela-

Qne flaky suit salesman. tionships amongst the major players in the radio game through creative camera shots and angles that deceive and flood the viewer’s senses, While most of the action takes place within the elegant shadows of the walls of the dimly lit studio, relief is provided in the form of enchanted and misty retros of the characters’ joint struggle to the top. The film avoids stereot pes as the script, also written rl y Bogosian, provides each character with a unique contrived but respectable veneer of filth. The only character to grace the screen with any hint of innocence and passion is the announcer’s ex-wife, played by Ellen Green. However, Bogosian shows her purity to be more a

. result of naivete than moralit The dnly thing that seems to t: e left is Bogosian himself, But he too becomes exposed as the radio audience turns the tables on him, peeling back his psyche flake by flake until he’s left with only the reality of his own emptiness. Best described as a careful and controlled understatement, the movie impacts while being brutally subtle, For a director such as Oliver Stone, who likes to make sure the audience does not miss whatever point he tries to make, this control is a milestone, The unfortunate part of the movie arises from its dual but effective nature. It simultaneously draws the viewer in, all the while repulsing those who draw near - but that too is the nature of the beast.

Schneider popped in a trey and a fast break lay-up to restore the comfortable spread - but Brock wasn‘t done yet. Using some timely tri-factors of their own, the Badgers shaved the lead to eight, and wouldn’t allow the Warriors to turn it into a cakewalk. Finally, in the last four minutes, Waterloo took a stranglehold on the game, running the score up to its mammoth spread, while the young Badgers simply collapsed. Clark put the icing on his career day with a powerful drive and one-handed jam with two minutes remaining to the delight of the crowd, “They confused us,” admitted McCrae.“They came out three big.

Bubble bursts. at Laurier by Glenn Hauar I’tocyk Imprint staff

and

Greg

Waterloo Warriors varsity hockey team continues to struggle as they went down to defeat in yet another contest. On Thursday, Februar 2, the Warriors went into #the t: ubble dome, the winter home of street rival Wilfrid Laurier’s Golden Hawks, looking to clinch third place in the OUAA’s Central Division. The

Laurier is on a roll, and the barrel didn’t stop against an oh-

viously weakened UW squad, who was playing without Steve Linseman and Tony Crisp. The Hawks rolled to a lo-4 shellaquing of the Warriors.

The two university sides in this city are known for their battles, for their rivalry, for their mutual dislike. This contest started out in a typical fashion, solid hitting in combination with the usual extra-curricular activ-

ities. It looked good at first,

when Waterloo put the puck in the net early in the first frame. However, referee Bob Morley disall lowed the goal as he felt the puck was pushed in illegally. First blood was drawn shortly

thereafter at 10:18, as Laurierk Kevin Smith blasted a shot by UW goalie Mike Bishop on the powerplay. The pumped up Golden Hawks struck quickly, notching another goal 15 seconds later to take a 2-O lead. The rest of the period was played evenly, with neither team able to score a goal. UW went into the dressing room only down by two, nothing to really worry too much about. Waterloo has an explosive offence, howlittle did w&s to come, The onslaught

The Gryphons hemmed th.e Warriors in their end for the better part of the first five minutes, Jamie McKee found the solution to this, winning an Oscar or at least a nomination by throwing himself over a Guelph stick and drawing a tripping penalty. The Gryphons killed the penalty, but at least Waterloo managed to get the puck out of their own end, Later in the first period the Warrior powerplay finally clicked. With Dan Tsandelis providing a screen, blueliner Ken Buitenhuis blasted a shot into the twine, drawing assists from

Meanwhile, a consistent team performance vaulted the Athenag into fourth overall, with Fiona Griffith8 barely missing the top ten in llth, Rhonda Williams in 13th and Eva SanzSole and Kathy Stegenga in 30th and 31st.

Griffiths’ performance was a pleasant surprise, as she topped Williams for the first time this season. With rookies SanzSole and Stegenga chipping in, the combined effort was enough for a hard earned team result. In Sunday’s relays, Waterloo entered two three-racer teams in both the women’s and men’s eve,&. For the Warriors, Waterloo A (Steve Paradine, Jack Simpson, and Dave Lumb) nailed down sixth,. while the B team [Chris Rogers, Steve Bentley, Dave Simpson) struggled to 11th as Simpson broke a ski,

On the Athena side, Fiona Griffiths, Eva SanzSole, and Rhonda Williams also took sixth while Brigid Rowan, Anita Netherton, and Kathy Stegenga a, skiied to 11th. Overall, the season ends on a positive note for both teams as considerable depth is in evidence. Even with the graduation of racer/coach Jack Simpson, the men can look forward to continued growth.

Winter of their discontent by Rich Nicbol Imprint staff It can be a long heartbreaking season for a team that has played nine league games and is still winless. But time is running out for the Waterloo Athenas basketball team, as they are all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, sitting in the basement of the OWIAA West Division, In order for the Athenas to make the playoffs, Waterloo muat win their last five games and Lakehead and Brock must lose all of their remaining games. The latest pair of losses came at the beginning of a tough four game road trip. Waterloo bowed to third-place Laurier, 62-51 on Wedneeday February 1 and were just edged on Saturday February 4 by fifth-place Brock, 64-61. In the Laurier game, the Golden Hawks surprised the Athenas in the first ten minutes, taking a lead of 17-10. After a much-needed timeout was called by coach Leslie Dal Cin, Waterloo veterans Corinna Lueg, Michelle McCrory, and Jennifer Hinton combined with two baskets apiece to tie the score 26-26 at the half. In the second segment, Laurier star forward Katherine Foulon replied with several uncontested lay-runs to pull the Hawks ahead for good. The stats sheet revealed some of the season-long problem8 that the young team has been unable to correct. The Athenas shot a dreary 35 per cent from the floor

and 45 per cent from the line. Waterloo edged Laurier in rebounding 29-27 and made only seven turnovers to the Hawks 24.

It was a night for the rookies on the Waterloo offence. Highly talented guard Brenda Kraemer lead the Athena attack netting 15 points and an impressive 77 per cent from the field, McCrory followed closely behind hooping 13 points with an even 50 per cent accuracy.. Also shooting well from the floor for the Athenas were Lueg and Erickson, shooting 66 and $7 per cent respec-
