Committee after Senate passed a motion at their February 20 meeting recommending that the “President and the Board of Governors encourage the pageant organizers to find an off-campus venue for the Miss Oktoberfest pageant .” Representatives of the committee had attended the Senate meeting to voice their support for the motion. Supported by various campus groups, including the Federation of Students, the Graduate Students Association, the Faculty the Professional Association, Women’s Association, and the Women’s Centre, the motion was passed by a vote of 29-13. Student Senator Tim Jackson’s request for a recorded vote was accepted; however, it caused some edginess in the Needles Hall Senate meeting room. Recorded votes are rarely used in UW Senate procedures. After the request ‘for a recorded vote was accepted by the chairperson, Senator’Dr. Lynn Watt remarked “just changed my vote I can tell you that.” The original mover and seconder of the motion had requested that it be withdrawn in light of the conclusions reached by the theatre committee that after 1989 it is unlikely that the university could accommodate

However, the view was raised by one non-student Senator that it was still worthwhile t6 debate the issue on grounds other than the use of theatre time,, The ensuing debate covered various aspects of the pageant issue, including the inappropriateness of the campus as a venue for the pageant, and whether or not the university would be restricting freedom of expression by “encouraging” the pageant to leave. Len Guelke, president of the Faculty Association, raised the question of what is appropriate for the campus to be-associated with, saying we need “a symbol that represents the 8Os, not the 50s.” As well, as pointed ovt by senator Jerry Kafieh, the pageant violates a university policy that does not allow discrimination based on sex, age, or marital status. Senator Tim Jackson summarized things well with the question, “Does anyone on this campus want this pageant here?”

What to do next Fridav

Students Against Militarism to demonstrate by Marc Brzustowaki Imprint ataff Students Against Militarism will demonstrate outside Needles Hall Friday March 3 at 2:30 p.m. to protest against the use of the co-operative education system by military contractors, The group has been leafletting the administration building [since February 17 and will main:ain a presence there until first round interviews end on March 10,

The group will draw attention to three employers hiring that jay: Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL), Automation Tooling Systems, and Computing Devices Incorporated. AECL’s Chalk River Research Station has performed S.D.I. (Star Wars] work for Los Alamos National Laboratory in the U.S. and has made the U.S. Government’s list of nuclear weapons research and production facilities.

ANC rep, Jusuf Saloojee, 1 to speak at UW by John Mason Imprint staff The chief representative in Canada of the African National Congress (AK), Mr. Yusuf Saloojee will address UW students at a free event on February 28. The lecture, which is sponsored by the Public Issues Board of the Feds, will be held in Engineering Lecture Hall 303 at 7:30 p.m, Saloojee, a former school teacher from Johannesburg, joined the ANC at the age of 13 and left his native South Africa to come to Canada in 1970 when the ANC decided it had to increase its presence abroad. Since then he has addressed the United Nations on the torture of political prisoners in South Africa and spoken at hundreds of campus and general public meetings across Canada. His purpose in Canada is “to inform the public abbut the real. ity in South Africa, to counter South African propaganda and to raise political, material and financial support for the ANC.” Saloojee has said, “there are two sides to the South African story. One is the regime’s and the other is the truth about the crimes against humanity being committed there, South Africa is a country that the international community should be ashamed of .” Since its foundation in 1912, the ANC has argued that the system of separate development what later came to be called apartheid - is intolerable. The issue in South Africa is whether the nation should continue to be ruled by a white minority or whether all its citizens,

without regard to race, colour, sex or creed, should, together and as equals, have the right and power to decide their common fate, The ANC drew up the Freedom Charter on 26 June 1955 which calls for the redistribution of the land, wealth, freedom and civil rights for all South Africans, It stated “We, the People of South Africa, declare... that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white, and that no government can justly claim authority unless it is based on the will of all the people; that our eo le have been robbed of their to land, liberty and Flirt R right peace by a form of government founded on injustice and inFor 50 years the now outlawed organization pursued a policy of non-violent struggle within South Africa but that changed. In 1960 as a result of the Sharpeville massacres and the subsequent banning of the ANC, the now jailed leader Nelson Mandela along with others in the organization proposed armed struggle to fight oppression. Freedom in South Africa they concluded, would not and could not be won by non-violent means, From peaceful challenge to armed confrontation with the racist minority government of South Africa, the ANC has today emerged as the leading challenge to the white minority regime. It has been tried and tested both on the political and armed battlefields. They are determined to bring about the end of enforced apart heid.

The demonstration will include street theatre.’ Printed on the leaflet is the group’s list of co-op employers that have accepted military contracts in the past two years. The leaflet urges students to question a prospective employer’s involvement in militarism, if any such involvement exists, during interviews. The group insists that such questions do matter. The leaflet describes how “Canada exports over two-thirds of its $3 billion worth of military commodities” with half of Third World exports going “to systematic violators of human rights... (including) Argentina, Chile, Indonesia, Guatemala and the Philippines.” The leaflet goes on to say that “military institutions are part of a global system of violence..,

[posing] a threat to the security &d peace of the world,” and that securit depends not on armed strengt x , but upon “the health of the environment, the welfare of individuals citizens a sustainable economy and responsive national institutions.” Fraschetti recal1s the situation of a co-op student, who approximately two years ago, was unwittingly employed to perform. military work. The intervention of a church college administrator was finally needed to terminate the contract and release the student from the job, a job concerning biological warfare. Her advice to students facing interviews is “to be suspiciously critical of potential employers and the role the might have in Canada’s military industrial complex.”

El Dina Mejia, a 47-year-old Salvadoran widow, knows this all too well. Brought to Canada temporarily by Oxfam Canada and the Jesuit Centre for Social Faith and Justice, she tours the country telling of the predicament faced by -her and many of the other 5 million natives of El Salvador. She spoke through a translator to about 100 people on campus, at the Engineering Lecture Hall on February 1. Dina has a tired and weathered face; yet, as she speaks in Spanish, she seems very wise. Her wisdom includes knowing the deaths of her husband and others - 20 people in her family alone - were the result of military operations and ongoing assassinations. She plans to return to her dangerous home after her stay-in Canada, with hope that the publicity generated by her tour will protect her from similar harm. Mejia and others from her area were forced to flee El Salvador in 1981, when they could no longer

“There have been 60,000 civilians killed in this war, and this generates fear in people. But at the same, time there’s hope that things could be changed. This fear of those who believe things can change, this fear with hope, is the key to people taking action.” Ramon, Salvadoran community leader. A brutal civil war continues in El Salvador. Every year, thousands of peasants are killed by soldiers or are driven away from their meagre villages by the threat of war. Human rights vio-1 lations are rapidly increasing. Still, Canada and other Western nations continue to send millions of dollars worth of aid to the El Salvador’s Duarte government.

In Honduras, they lived seven years in restrictive, prison-like camps with 11,000 other refugees.

their homes and villages had been destroyed. Meanwhile, little in the way of housing, schools or medical care was available. “The only government aid we see is bullets and bombs,” Mejia claimed. After pointing out additional injustices in El Salvador she added: “I could go on about what I have seen, but we would be here all night.” Canada’s role in El Salvador was also discussed. It was suggested that Canada should not show support for the militarydominated regime by sending official aid. Currently, our federal government is getting set to provide another multi-million dollar aid grant to the winner of the March 19 elections. The Christian Democra-tic Party’s ruling status will be contested by two major opposition parties: the Democratic Convergence and the F.M.L.M. . As for the fairness of voting expected in the upcoming election, Mejia bitterly remarked: “We are .sure they will not de“liver democracy. They are all as-

How would you like to have 3,000 penpals? That’s about how many postcards each and every Federal member of parliament could find in his or her mailbox around the second week of April.

Project Ploughshares is in the

middle of a postcard blitz designed to express the opinions of everyday Canadians about the arms race, The postcards urge MPs to “support a House of Commons resolution calling on the US. and U.S.S.R. to negotiate verifiable bans” on new weapons systems. Slowing or halting new weapons development is the’goal of this project, as this is the first step in more long-range disarmament initiatives. More specifically, the campaign seeks the ban of three major parts of nuclear arms development: nuclear explosive tests, flight tests of strategic cruise and ballistic missiles, and space weapon tests. In addition to the resolution at the Federal level, the postcard campaign sponsors hope Canada will “sponsor a related resolution at

the United Nations.” Since Canada’s participation in new weapons development is limited, outside of cruise missile tests conducted over Alberta, Project Ploughshares is pursuing an international diplomatic direction with this campaign. You can purchase a pack of 300 cards from Project Ploughshares or from the Peace Society. at Conrad Grebel College for $7~0, Then, you address one card to each MP (numbering 295 strong] and drop them into a mailbox between April 2 and 10. Like all mail to MPs, it is postage free, so all ou invest is your time. You shou r d also mail one to Project Ploughshares’ offices, so they can monitor boy many people are participating. The postcard campaign, along with a series of public forums also sponsored by Ploughshares, started in 1988 with the active phase beginning last fall. It climaxes after April 10, when the postcards will begin to arrive. This mail-out is timed to correspond with formal lobbying of MPs at the end of April. The postcards are needed to maximize the volume and unity of the disarmament voice.

COMMENT

Deace and anarchv

I---

To call our society a democracy without qualification and then to deride civil disobedience on the grounds that it destroys democracy (and leads to anarchy or tyranny) is to depict our form of democracy as self-evident truth. Such a claim amounts to little more than apologetics for the actions our democracies take to impose this particular form of government upon those unable to see that truth, and discredits that form of citizen intervention most effective in raising the public’s awareness of, and opinion against those actions. In our liberal, or capitalist democracy, the freedoms we enjoy are institutions that, as Amerdefined mainly in terms of authoritarian ican linguist Noam Chomsky points out, would be considered fascist and business organizations. in the political sphere - corporations What capitalism defines as democracy is the free operation of business institutions and interests, the freedom to exploit: personal rights follow, and clearly racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination exist to the detriment of capitalism. But, capitalist democracy is loyal to capitalism, and not at all to democracy. The savagery with which capitalist democracy demonstrates this loyalty is evident wherever a government has aligned itself with business interests but not with democracy and must face the opposition of a dispossessed majority. -The opposite illustrates this contention as well: governments, especially within the Free World’s sphere of influence, which demonstrate democracy but not an affinity for capitalism soon find themselves under the pressure of the dominant capitalist demo.craties to change their erroneous ways. ’ The history of much of the Third World since WW II is the history of that pressure. Numerous democratic governments, such as those of Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Chile, and Brazil, have collapsed due to direct U.S. military-intervention or to military cotips supported and engineered by the CIA and other institutions of capitalist democracy. The unhindered capacity of capitalist democracy to destroy democratic governments and movements that are not circumscribed by, or based upon models of capitalist development, is amazing, especially in light of the freedom to make laws and choose leaders the citizens of these western democracies enjoy. A recent example is the creation of an armed force by the U.S. government to overthrow the democratically elected government of Nicaragua (the result of the country’s first fair elections), a government whose dedication to health, education and land reform programmes Washington has deemed an unacceptable example of what non-capitalist democracy can achieve - an example of democracy’s existence independent of capitalism. That freedom to make laws and choose leaders is the basis for civil disobedience. The allied democracies, when trying the Nazis for their crimes, made clear the obligation of the citizen to prevent what came to be called crimes against humanity. In 1987 Canada passed antiwar crimes legislation which put the onus on citizens to prevent acts or omissions deemed crimes against humanity though such acts may contravene no existing law at the time, or in the place of commission (all the while the Canadian government continues to supply millions of dollars to the governments of El Salvador and Guatemala governments that violate the donor nation’s anti-war crimes legislation, not to mention the basic rights guaranteed under the donor nation’s own constitution). Yet it is these same powers who create and support regimes in the Third World that as a matter of course break these laws and principles; under these regimes, calls for citizen involvement in law-making and leadership selection are answered by death squads, counter-insurgency warfare and torture. Strictly moral and religious obligations aside, civil disobedience stems from the recognition that the failure to try to prevent these crimes, even the failure to try to bring the criminals to justice, is as culpable as the commission of the crimes themselves. Civil disobedience does not lead to tyranny; rather, civil disobedience aims at stopping the tyranny (and subsequent repression, bloodshed, misery and war) that results when ruling groups, unhindered by t,he people they claim to represent, attempt to dominate people they could never claim to represent, all for the benefit and perpetuation of their privilege and means to power, Hobbes’ state of nature is this system of international politics where the elites that define and control capitalist democracy support militarily the rule of foreign elites who, politically (Le. democratically), would not stand achance against the popular movements they force into submission and eventual armed struggle. The tone of the claim that civil disobedience in a democracy leads to anarchy must be understood in terms of the claimant’s definition of anarchy, The situation in Lebanon, for example, is not anarchy: no anarchists struggle to become the government; the factions doing battle in Lebanon are all governments in waiting. Any analogy between the two is false. And while civil disobedience in a democracy may lead to anarchy, an understanding of anarchy as freedom [and, arguably, as the ultimate form of democracy] may lead to the conclusion that, in fact, anarchy is desirable. Unfortunately, the view of our form of government as unqualified “democracy” may easily dismiss as benevolent blunders and mistakes a “democratic” government’s active subversion of non-capitalist democracy [Chile’s elected Marxist government], its intentional reduction of defenseless peasant societies to dust [Vietnam, Cambodia], and its planned creation and support of torture states (El Salvador, Guatemala, pre-1979 Iran and Nicaragua, Indonesia, South Korea, Honduras...) all in the name of the stability and order essential to the free operation of the corporations and businesses that define this form of democracy.

To the editor, I voted this past Tuesday, and I don’t think I am particularly dumb! Sometimes not as quick as most, sometimes a tad slow on the up-take, bvt certainly. not dumb. I don’t think UW students are, on the whole, dumb either. That is why I don’t understand the title to your last comment piece: “Dumb voters serve up the spoils of Federation election night.” Perhaps it’s an attempt to’ spice up an otherwise uneventful election in which only “carbon copy” candidates ran. You eppear to be disappointed about the results of the election, particularly when you called the new trio of executives “incompetents.‘* You also imply that the new President, Mr. Readman, won because he had the backing of the Engineering faculty. How-

commentary

ever, if the entire engineering vote is subtracted from the totals, Mr. Readman still wins. (Notice the Environmental Studies vote is being included. So much for your+theory of faculty recognition!) You stated that ‘I*.. he who visits the most classrooms gets the most votes.” Could this be restated “.*, he who works the hard-, est gets the most votes”? I saw Mr. Readman in three of my classes during the two weeks or so of campaigning that the candidates had. I-saw Mr. Markan in none. I saw two waves of posters and a flyer proclaiming the qualifications of Mr. Readman. I saw one poster of Mr. Markan, Forgive me, Mike; I voted for the candidate who was less experienced, but had to work twice as hard to get the votes. Desire and dedication are qualities I feel are just as important as ex-

perience. I am inclined to believe the results at the poll are not just the electorate considering only name recognition. In fact, I take offense to this implication! I feel the 19.6 per cent of the electorate who voted are those who wanted to vote. These are the people who feel that the Federation election is timportant enough to justify going to the forums, reading the posters, listening in classes and making a valid, informed decision at the polling station.

Caribbean students confront Rushon

As members of the Caribbean Students Association (CSA) at the University of Waterloo we share at least one thing in common: our Caribbean heritage. People from the Caribbean chain of islands have originated from diverse cultures and racial groups, These groups have been solidly fused together, either by forced labour or economics, into a singular and truly cosmopolitan society where people are treated equally regardless of creed, race, religion or sex, With this background, it is obvious that our heritage forces us to be skeptical about racial genetic hypotheses that promote the domination of one race over the other. We refer, in particular, to Dr. Phili pe Rushton’s paper presente tIr in mid-January to the

American Association for the Advancement of Science. This paper promotes the superiority of whites and Orientals over blacks in the categories of intelligence, mental stability, sexual and criminal morality. We will not be irresponsible and condemn a research report based solely on information from the press. However, we are skeptical about any supremacist arguments based solely on shady genetic experimental theories that do not include the socio-economic and historical profile of its subjects. Man is naturally a social animal and hence human behaviour is significantly affected by social stimuli received from the environment. Furthermore, we question the purpose of this research and the source of its funding. We sincerely hope that Dr. Rushton’s work was inspired by the constructive pursuit of knowledge as opposed to creating divisions that threaten to shatter the fragile racial balance that currently exists in this society. We plead to scientists that do research of this nature to remember their moral obligation to society. It is frightening to see scientists recklessly wield the blade of controversial research,

then hide behind the thin transparent cloak of academic freedom when society retaliates in its defense, We as students understand the purpose of academic freedom, however if that right is not used toward the improvement of all in the society, we consider that right an abuse. We suspect the results of Dr, Rushton’s work are victim of two, fallacies in behavioural experimentation. Firstly, one cannot judge a culture based on the simple values of another culture. Secondly, too often we have seen scientists attempt to defeat their inadequacies by isolating simple behavioural traits of their subjects within the laboratory without appropriate consideration for other confounding factors. These simplifications produce rapid experimental results but considerably inaccurate aesumptions and conclusions. We suggest that people like Philippe Rushton live among their subjects and truly understand their behavioural and cultural values. They may be surprised by their observations and the usefulness of their results. Caribbean

Perspective Are miracles even possible? by Eric

ex-

Kuelker

I mentionedlast week that the resurrection showed that one had to take the New Testament seriously, that this historical event showed it is not a castle of words that can be dismissed. However, there is a widespread belief or attitude that miracles, especially ones as dramatic as 3 resurrection from the dead, simply don’t occur. But how closely have we thought through this attitude that. science has “proved” that miracles can’t occur? I’ll leave aside the obvious difficulty with the claim that science has proved that something can NOT happen in an Einsteinian, relativistic universe. We’ll turn instead to the popular argument proposed by David Hume, the Scottish sceptic. Hume sets up an opposition, rather like a balance for weighing. One side is the evidence for any miracle, which he concedes for the sake of argument is a full proof. On the other side is the evidence for the regularity of the laws of nature, which amounts to a full proof. He is very confident of these laws, that “firm and unalterable experience has established these laws.” He feels that it is the universal and uniform testimony of human experience that dead men do not rise from the dead. Since the scales balance, a wise man couldn’t have any confidence in miracles, since there is a full proof for the uniformity of nature, against miracles, Or is it a full roof? C.S. Lewis, Cambridge professor, pointed out that “Now o P course we must agree with Hume that if there is absolutely ‘uniform experience’ against miracles, if in other words, they never happened, why then they never have.” Lewis asserted, “Unfortunately, we know the experience against

I am a feminist, like my mother, my grandmother, and my great-grandmother before me. The University of Waterloo may not be the best location for a beauty pageant, but feminist organizations such as the Women’s Collective should take care that, in their opposition to such events, they avoid alienating feminists like myself by disparaging our “non-feminist” interests and lifestyles.

them are false. And we can know all t~hereports to be false only if we know already that miracles have never occurred. In fact, we are arguing in a circle,” In other words, this circular argument, where Hume assumes miracles don’t occur, and then uses this assumption to state all reports of them are false, is quite invalid. Hume is quite wrong to appeal to uniform experience that dead men don’t rise, since there is experience that they do; Christ raised Lazarus and a little girl from death before His own resurrection, Hume also argues the evidence for miracles is weak, not amounting to a full proof, because there never has been one witnessed by enough educated and honest men who would have a great deal to lose by lying. But what of the disciples? They witriessed the resurrection of Christ, and testified to it publicly, as the central point of their message. John died in exile, the other elleven died violent martyrs’ deaths far what they said about the resurrection. They had ample time during their arrests, imprisonments, trials, crucifixions, stonings, flaying with knives, etc, to back down. They could all have confessed that it was a lie, that they got carried carried away, and that they’d go home and shut up, None did so. When one dies for a conviction, we are stunned by that person’s courage and integrity. When eleven do so, in different places, at different times, it puts the event beyond reasonable question.

Rushton commentary was embarrassing To the editor,

pelted with accusations from a largely ignorant populace, and pestered with questions like “so, do blondes really have more fun?” All of his research is open to examination; if you disagree with his conclusions, counter them with some of your own. That’s the way the scientific community works, not by nametilling. Any racism involved in this controversy has been introduced by individuals who have interpreted his work incorrectly, then judged on the basis of that interpretation. ! was under the impression that one of the main goals of higher education was to develop an open mind to new concepts and ideas, not to learn to ridicule those we disagree with The article devalues some of Prof. Ruston’s references, specifically a book of physiology published at “the turn of the century,” and a popular science magazine. I cannot speak for either (although I doubt the human body has changed much since 1900), but I would like to point out the Mr. Harman’s sources are the London Free Press and the Globe. Both fine publications, I’m sure, but it’s indicative of how much research went into this article. As an analogy, a public schooler could read Mr. Harman’s article and return a report on racism in higher education to his or her teacher, confidently citing Imprint as the reference. Can you say “Cartoon Journalism?” This letter is neither for nor against Prof. Ruston’s findings, for I have read neither his paper

In response to Jim Harman’s article concerning Prof. Phillipe Ruston’s work, I think a little more balance than the piece provided is required. Depending on whether or not the author has any grounding in genetic theory, it is either ignorant or. particularly obtuse to label Piof. Ruston as a racist solely because his theories claim racial differences in ‘mental capability, To say that it is impossible for a race to have, on the average, more intellectual potential than another, is equivalent to denying black people have darker skin, or that Oriental people are more diminutive. All of these characteristics distinguish races because they are due to genes which are more common in some races than in others. There’s no moral or ethical components to that statement - it’s a fact. There’s no doubt intelligence is greatly affected by environment, but there’s also no doubt we wouldn’t be as smart as we think we are if we had the genes [and hence the intellectual potential] of a chimpanzee. Genetic make-up does play a part. Differences between races do exist. I’m not endorsing any of Prof. Rushton’s claims, but they are not impossible. The reason for this reply was not to defend that topic, but to take issue with the treatment this controversy received in Mr. Harman’s article. Prof. Ruston has presented his findings in public on a number of lccasi&e. Each time he has been

SEXPERT:

What

signs

I look for if I think

be pregnant?

thet I may

ANSWER: There are a number of signs that you can look for to help you diagnose a pregnancy; however, some indicators listed below can result from conditions other than pregnancy SO it is important to remember that only a reliable pregnancy test can tell for sure whether or not you are pregnant. The most commonly known indicators are that you haven’t menstruated when you should have or that your period was really light and short. Although this can be a sign of pregnancy, it can also be due to stress, shock or illness. Pregnancy may cause nausea and vomiting, especially in the early morning. This could be the morning sickness frequently associated with early pregnancy or it could just be the bug you picked up in class. You may also get the urge-to urinate more frequently. Here again there are reasons for this other than pregnancy. Some females experience constipation more frequently in the early stages of pregnancy; however, this is not common enough for it to be an accurate predictor. Many females notice a change in taste during early pregnancy. You may get a strange taste, usually metallic, in your mouth. You may also notice that certain foods or smells that did not bother you before are now disagreeable. Changes in appetite [either an increase or decrease] can also indicate pregnancy. There may be a change in your breasts. They might feel fuller and more sensitive. You may also experience a sensation of tingling in your breasts and enlarged, more prominent nipples. Other signs might be greater fatigue, cramps, feeling bloated or uncharacteristic mood changes. If you are experiencing some of these symptoms and they can’t be attributed to another cause, it would be a good idea to get a pregnancy test. Tests can be purchased at pharmacies for about $15 and performed at home but these are not very reliable, It would be better to go to a clinic or to your doctor and get either a urine or blood test. Urine tests work best about 27 days after conception. Blood tests work best 7 to 14 days after conception and are more reliable than urine tests. If you get the test performed at a clinic or doctor’s office, they can help you deal with the results of the test and OHIP might also pay for the test. If you

I thank Donald McCracken for his response to my letter of last week. It appears that, for the sake of brevity [not my strong point), I neglected certain distinctions which now seems more important. I feel that Mr. McCracken is mistaken in distinguishing “date rape” from drooling-friend-in-adark-alley rape. The coining of the term “date rape” is a deliberate attempt to erase this distinction such that men may no longer hide behind “misunderstandings” but must face the true nature of their actions. My point was simply that men should be convinced that if they don’t take “no” as “no,” they must consider themselves rapists, ‘and that a change of social attitudes is the way to healthier relations among people. I think Mr. McCracken also misconstrued my statement that “nice guys don’t rape.” Of course I consider the converse, “rapists are slime,” to be the more accu-

rate statement, but I reject the insistence on legalistic fFufh, preferring to adapt the message to the psychology of the target audience. I also accept that most rapists do consider themselves “nice guys” but this simply adds weight to my thesis that the most effective way of dealing with rape is to try to make men’s actions conform to their self-image. Like Mr. McCracken, I don’t have to feel like an asshole because I’m male, but my observation regarding collective guilt still stands regarding the majority of people; if you bruise their egos, they will reject responsibility for their actions. I hold no grudge against Donald for his rather strorig criticism, and take responsibility for any ambiguity in my earlier letter; I see him as a partner in a common cause. I would also like to thank him for the term “transfeminist” - I’ve been looking for a catchier expression than “egalitariari’ for years! Sean Richens MA SC. Chemical Engineering

I have some comments and questions for all the warts on the backside of this university community. My calculator was stolen from inside my backpack in the Davis Centre library about two weeks ago. At the time, I was shocked and disgusted that one of my fellow students would do such a thing to me. I now realize that this type of event is not all that uncommon at Waterloo. We have all heard of thefts of calculators and wallets in the libraries or of jackets from Fed Hall. Most recently, a frierid’s shcies were taken from her PAC locker and some senseless damage was done to a car in one of the Village lots. The windshield of my car was smashed in B-lot last term as well. There is crime in the news every day. Our society is unfortunately riddled with crime. But we at Waterloo live in a special piece of society. We are university students and, hopefully, we reflect well on society in general. We have each exhibited some form of superiority in our particular fields in order to get here. Why, then, are we forced to deal with crime right here in our midst? I have no quarrel with the campus police on this issue. I was very pleased with the assistance I received from them and I don’t think there is much they can do to prevent such reprehensible acts. My frustration is directed specifically at those few individuals who seem to lack regard for their fellow students. Who are you “people” and why were you admitted to this university? Did you cheat to gain entrance to Waterloo? Why are your stealing from me and* from others? Why are you willfully damaging our property? Supposedly, you possess some intellectual prowess in your area of study, for otherwise you would not be here. It’s a pity you can’t or,won’t find a socially and morally acceptable channel for your so-called intelligence. I’m here to study, to learn, and. to have some fun. Crime doesn’t fit into any of those categories. So for you mindless, spineless

Small initiatives are taking place across the campus, and some bigger efforts are happening at the Environmental Studies Coffee Shop, and the Engineering and Science Societies. In all of these

locations, recycling bins have been placed, and recyclable materials are being collected and transported by students. The Engineering Society has appointed a Recycling Co-ordinator to work on the promotion and maintenance of their program. In the Philip Street Co-op residence@, the “Blue Box” system is being maintained by volunteers. Residents can deposit their glass, tin and newspaper into blue boxes located in each building. When the box is full, the contents is taken to a centralized drop-off. It is encouraging to see that individual efforts are being made until the transition to a university-wide program is made. The university produces six tonnes of garbage per day and sontributes the greatest quantity of garbage in Waterloo to the Erb Street Landfill.

the use of environmen-

mugs, many of the faculties are waiting for the implementation of the university-wide programme supported by the administration. There are two primary obstacles to initiating a small recydling programme: first, the lack of information concerning presently existing options, and second, the lack of resources to adequately access and utilize these options. One recent option that is a welcome addition to Waterloo is a company called Tri-Tech Recycling, at 505 Dotzert Court, Water!oo (747-2228). Tri-Tech buys recyclable materials, and pays on a ?er pound basis for a wide range of materials including glass, tin

;ans, copper, various other metals, all sorts of paper and much more, Many of the student recycling initiatives involve Tri-Tech. There are several other things which both staff and students :an do to initiate and promote recycling. -Faculty and staff nembers can take advantage of the fine paper recycling project operated by the Central Stores department. Departments and offices can collect all their fine paper (including computer, cooured, white,] in separate boxes, deposit them in the nearest Mail Zoom, and phone ext 2823 to have it picked up by Central Stores, Faculty members and Student Societies can allow students accessto theirpaper recycling boxes, as students don’t have ready access to the Mail Rooms. Student Societies and clubs can set up their own interim glass, newspaper and tin recycling programmes by calling WPIRG to ‘ind out how to do it, The next time you are about to buy coffee or tea in a disposable :up, buy-a reuseable mug from one of the Coffee shops to reduce :he amount of waste -we generate. The WPIRG Workgroup is circulating a petition among students lnd staff so they can demonstrate their willingness and eagerness o support an accessible recycling programme for the university. rhe Plant Operations Department is presently looking into varous options for the campus-wide system. This petition will not mly demonstrate the students’ dedication and support toward becycling efforts, but also encourage the administration to see this 1s a top priority item that requires immediate attention and acion. The petition is available for signing at WPIRG, the Turnkey Desk in the CC and various C and Ds around camous,

embarrassing it would have been. My carefully thought out defence just doesn‘t seem to apply*

Jim Harman’s comment piece was quite, ah, strong would be a polite way of describing it. But some

people

have

to be beaten

about the proverbial head I and shoulders before they will recognize the “truth.“ First of all I don’t think choice of research topics should be grounds for dismissal no matter how controversial. Investigation of the intellectual capacities df the different races is perfectly valid [petty and inconsequential maybe but still valid). However the quality of said investigations and the conclusions drawn from them are of vital importance. By all reports, Rushton‘s methods, sources, and analysis are of a low enough standard that he should at least have some of his grants revoked. If incompetence is grounds for removal of tenure then perhaps that should hapvn as well.

-_.

Last week I was of the opinion that Rushton was the victim of another media smear campaign designed to boost the incomes of the Grub and Mulch, the Tranna rats and other notable rags. I figured he’d probably said something like a greater percentage of the smartest people in the world are Oriental followed by Caucasians and Blacks. It seems common sense that out of the 1,000 smartest people in the world more of them are going to be r,! one race than the other. But to report that Blacks are stupid and Orientals are smart (implying that all Orientals are smarter than all blacks) is the height of

LETTERS Are always welcome from Imprint readers Maximum length is 400 words

statistical stupidity, not to ment ion irresponsible. In the real world it makes no difference whether one race has a few more of the smartest people than another. NO DIFFERENCE!ll No Difference (repeat that line 100 times). All people of average intelligence are more or less the same! Just because seven out of ten of the top geniuses are Oriental [and it wouldn’t surprise‘ me if that were the case given the relative populations), doesn‘t mean that Orientals of average intelligence are smarter that blacks or whites of average intelligence. In case you’ve missed the point, all people with average intelligence are the same! [intellectually speaking of course). A black police constable .is a police constable. A white police constable is a police constable. A

female police constable is a police constable. An Italian police constable is a police constable,,, Is your head getting sore with all this beating of the obvious? I apologize and hope some of it sinks in. Although- with blockheads it will probably just bounce off. One must also recognize the existence of stupid people. I hope future researchers will notice the insignificance of race in the intelligence question. Maybe then we will get some much needed time and money devoted to the problems nutrition, socio-economic status, and educational opportunity present to intellectual development.

How, do you spell Nietzche?

Philosophical battlewaged against reader Ta

the editor, I would like

to direct some comments toward Darren Luck‘s letter (Imprint, February 17, 1989). First of alI, with respect to finding transcendent meaning, Luck states that, “I much refer writers like Kierkegaar cr and Nietzche [sic) who choose to look at life with a religious passion.“

The

which you read and Nietzsche?“; and, if you have, my second question is, “Do you find preferring both systems of ‘transtiendant meaning,’ simultaneously, a tad contradictory?“ Mr. Luck, do you realize that Kierkegaard used the term “despair and dread“ to refer to the experience individuals realize when confronted with their own sick and sinful condition? This was quite different from Nietzsche’s, so-called, “religious passion.“ With respect to Nietzsche, one philosopher/historian has remarked, “Nietzsche recognized full well that apart from God, only man remains to establish his own value: and the stronger has every right under such conditioni to impose his self-cencomes ever

value

question is, “Have Kierkegaard

weaker - and eliminate him if he does not learn his lesson well. The anti-Semitism of the deists of the 18th century Enlightenment [as definitively researched by Arthur Hertzberg in his 1968 publication, The French blightanmant and the Jews], the Nietzschean transvaluation of values, will-to-Socialist extermination of racial and political minorities demonstrate only too clearly what happens when man becomes the measure of all things.“ (J.W. Montgomery’ The Suicide of Christian Thsology p.ZSS-4)

With such a particular dialectic of ethical construction, it is no wonder, Mr. Luck, that you seek no justification for your views. In your own words you state, “Religion is therefore a personal quest for meaning in one’s own life: it’s a matter of what works for the individual.” Maybe it is just me, but in light of recent historical considerations, we might do well to ask for a little philosophical justification for holding to such views; hopefully something which goes beyobd pragmatic considerations.

L&Peaceand Confljct Studies internship

Summer job provides insight into CIA by Lisa

&hi&h

For the whole world, the CIA has now become the bogey that cornmunism has been for America. Arnold Toynbee This past summer I lived in Chicago at the Urban Life Center and did a Peace and Conflict Studies internship. I worked for an organization known as ?he National Coalition Against Repressive Legislation (NCARL). M job at NCARL was to researc 3: and write a booklet on the Central Intelligence Agency [CIA) and covert operations. The CIA was created in 1947 as a cold war weapon to conduct covert operations. Covert operations are secret and illegal activities designed to influence foreign governments or events in support of U.S. policy. Covert actions may include political or economic propaganda, paramilitary activities such as industrial sabotage or bombings, tampering in free elections, payoffs of foreign officials, and manipulation of the press. The CIA has a “black budget,” which means that only a few people make decisions as to how much money the CIA needs to gather intelligence, or rather, “fight communism.” According to the New York Times, “These people are fascinated with covert operations and find it easier to approve them than to discuss complicated diplomatic matters.” It is estimated that 35 billion dollars is spent each year on CIA covert operations. As part of my research, I did a country by country study of what the CIA had done since 1982. The historic and geographic distribution of CIA covert action is overwhelming.

.l’nousands of covert operations have been directed by the CIA. My information came from the Center for Policy Studies, alternative news sources, and exCIA agents. CHAD

CIA covert paramilitary operations in Chad since 1981 have resulted in Libyan troops controlling half of the nation. One official reports that CIA action has been “hasty, shortsighted, and counterproductive, We thought we were setting Qaddafi back by opposing him militarily. But in fact... our proxy did things that provoked Qaddafi and now he sits occupying half of Chad.” SALVADOR Since 1982, the CIA has operated an electronic-spying mission providing left-wing rebel locations to right-wing death squads and has disrupted the Salvadoran elections by intercepting co&nunications, In 1984, the CIA spent 1.4 million in financial support for the presidential election campaign of Jose Napolean Duartti. EL

HONDURAS The CIA played a role in the ousting of Honduran military officers who supported independence from US+ Contra policies. The CIA also taught the Honduran Army to torture and interrogate members of the small ’ Honduran rebel movement. PHILIl’PINES

Since 1953, the CIA has spent millions of dollarg, on anti-communist programs and now is organizing right-wing paramilitary s uads to threaten, kidnap, and ki‘f 1 Philippine activists who advocate land reform, labour rights, or closing U.S.

military bases, A disinformation campaign involving false communist atrocity ~stories is planned to raise anti-communist hysteria. In 1987, Reagan authorized $10 million and 12 new agents to the CIA Manila station, SOUTH AFRICA The CIA has worked with the South African police for years conducting joint military covert operations. In 1962, the CIA assisted the rpolice in arresting Nelson Mandela, apartheid opposition leader, In 1984, the CIA asked the South African government to train and arm Nicaraguan Contras, and there is evidence that by 1985, 200 tonnes of weapons had been shipped from South Africa to Central Amefica. NICARAGUA

Of course, the most notorious example is Nicaragua. Since the revolution 1979, the CIA has been actively involved in spreading anti-Sandiniata disinformation in the U.S. and Central America. Since 1981, the CIA has bombed Nicaraguan harbors, supported Contra rebel groups, and undermined peace efforts. President Reagan said he wanted to remove the present structure in Nicaragua and make the Sandinisfas “say Uncle,” This resulted in the Iran/Contra scandal - a major CIA disaster. After learning about CIA activities, I started wondering what conflicts the CIA was not involved in. The. world seemed tied together by a CIA network of money, drugs, weapons’ and Oliver North clones. Having been born in the United States, I feel some sort of re-

sponsibility for the actions m government carries out, muc g like when Canadians felt embarrassed over the Ben Johnson incident. As James Madison once said, “A DODU~W Government without poidar information, or the

An offensive smell has been noticed in and around a number of campus buildings. According to reports, the noxious smell was first noticed in six cam us buildings on January 17. It recurred again two days later, w Ren secretaries and students complained of headaches and dizziness, Some evacuated the building immediately, thinking it was agas leak. Safety Office Manager Ken Ray does not believe it to be natural gas, sulphur, or acetylene, nor does he think the smell is in any wa harmful to human beings, Despite Alberta Environment air ua Pity experts’invertigation of the problem’ the origin of the fouI smell is as yet unknown. The Civil Engineering Student& Society w&s dealt a blow when Students+ Legislative Council (SLC] rejected a motion to support them financially. The Civil Engineers wanted Council to allocate $850 to help them go to Vancouver to race in a country-wide concrete toboggan race, The Engineers have already raised $3,500 to go to the coast but now they have to slash the number of people going, or attempt to gain monetary support from the private tiector.

The University

of Alberta

A controversy has been brewing on campus over the banning of a calendar called “University Girls of Alberta.” The U of A bookstore has refused to stock copies of the l&page calendar. The calendar displays pictures of 11 different women said to be from the three university campuses in Alberta. Many of the women are s arsely clad, The University of Calgary newspaper “The Gaunf Pet” rejected advertising for the calendar because the pictures in the calendar were found to be offensive. A customer at one of the outlets which does carry the calendar, said he bought it because he found the cover “provocative,” but when he flipped through it he asked for his money back, “The inside photographs are tacky and tasteless,” he said. “It doesn’t reflect properly on the actual university. It is a totally unrealistic portrayal of the female population on campus.” The Student Union’s latest attempt to promote safe sex and sboost the SU’s image consists of key chains with a secret condom’ carrying case. About 100 of the key chains, which are affixed with a black condom locket and monogrammed with the SU logo, are on order for Students’ Union councillors. SU Vice President Wendy Olson says the response has been fantastic and she may order them for the rest of the campus if sales do well. Stricter admission standards are keeping the university’s population control plan on target. The latest 1989 enrollment figures show that fewer full and part-time students are attending the . University of Alberta, said Registrar Brian Silzer. The slide in enrollment follows last September’s increase in admission stand. ards to a 70 per cent average out of high school. The increased tentrance requirements were expected to lead to an enrollment idecrease of about 700 students. The actual total dropped by 943 students. The U of A will soon be welcoming student refugees from third world countries. The Edmonton local committee of the World University Service of Canada (WUSC) has worked for more than a year to establish the Student Refugee Sponsorship program at the U of A, and hopes to welcome its first participant this month. WUSC offers aid to exiled students who have had to flee their own country for fear of religious, political, or ethnic persecution. The Student Refugee Program was accepted by the U of A in the spring of 1988, after the Edmonton local committee of WUSC lobbied the 1987438 Students’ Union to add fifty cents to each students’ tuition fees to support the program. A student referendum was held in the spring of 1988 and 54 percent of U of A students voted to agree to the fifty cent increase. Since the Student Refugee Sponsorship Program was started in 1978, 167 student refugees from Africa, Central America, and the Middle East have been sponsored to study in Canada.

And if words are the prison bars, the best thing to do is to be very good at manipulating words. The way to freedom is learning how to manipulate the materials that restrict you. You learn how language ensnares you by understanding it. And using it.” And yes, Momus is a clever word-smith. His control of the tongue was evident in his quick answers and abundant metaphors. I am quite hesitant to chalk that up to rhetoric: he seems to rationalize too much for a. faucet of rhetoric and propaganda. Language is his tool, and and he sets this tool to work on two of the biggest problems known to humans: God, and now sex. “Sex,” says Curries, “is the negation of language.” What is conventional and respectable to say has a lot to do with sex. It is culturally important to attack these taboos.” However, Currie, ever anxious to shy from simplicity and to practice what he preaches, chooses to sing sympathetically about homosexuality, even adopting a homosexual stance, though he himself is not gay, In the lingo, he is gay-positive. On Tender Pervert, Currie sings a song entitled The Homosexual. Was he worried about the gay community’s feelings, or even loathing’ toward an obvious straight living off of their image; a straight who could always just maintain his middle-class, heterosexual lifestyle with none of the@ stigma? “Yes, I was certainly very sensitive when I wrote that song. The song itself, I felt, could be very offensive. “I am just naturally a&acted, as a wasp is to jam, to areas of taboo and areas in which people are witch-hunting one another.

Glenn Priestly finds everyday life interesting. And he views his art as a record of an area, of its people, of its time: more specifically of the neighbourhood around Scarborough’s Tabor Hill. The foundation of the hill is the bones from the Indian burial ground dug up when the area wasadeveloped. Perhaps Priestly’s art is an offering to the spirits of the dead. . Priestly

that’s what everybody has to do. Everybody has to hide their latant urges and secret desires, Homosexuals are simply people who must be more conscious of that than other people. Therefore, to understand the homosexual mind is to understand the human mind.” All Currie’s talk about sex and self-alienation made it painfully obvious that I had to ask him about ex-Smith Morrisey, the magistrate of misery, though I promised myself that I wouldn’t. But I had to. Currie opened right up on the subject. “Morrisey is a drama queen and a brilliant self-promoter. I think that-1 am much more self-critical than he is, and I think that thalt’ii iteeD me more marginalized. Morkissey is someone who is uniquely qualified to be a pop star.

present what Priestly calls his “trial and error” approach to learning painting. He just does it. Aware that his strength lies in portraying people, he set about teaching himself how to draw landscapes. The four Tabor Hill canvasses, complete with studies on the opposite wall, reveal that Priestly still has a long way to go with landscape painting. He himself admits that he is not all that pleased with them. The first two paintings are a little lifeless, and Priestly reveals that he had some technical problems with them. In the last two Priestly solved the problems. In my opiriion, Lusteds Park is .his best landscape in the show. It is not as vague as the others; it comes out of itself a little more.

Wine

or blood?

by Jim Harman Imprint staff Red Sorghum is a film dominated by colour. The wine made from red sorghum; colour of sweaty skin; the waving fields of sorghum bathed in the light of a setting sun; a bride’s veil and her ceremonial sedan: all are a passionate, vibrant red. Ultimately, it is also the colour of blood in the movie’s graphic, stunning finale. Based on a legend from the northern province of Shandong, the film is set in pre-revolutionary China during the time of resistance to the Japanese invaders, That the movie relates an event of such recent vintage does not become apparent until the calamitous arrival of the Japanese, the life of the Chinese peasants having an aura of timelessness about it. Nine, the beautiful ninth daughter of a peasant family, born the ninth day of the ninth month, is bought by a wealthy leper to become his wife. The first scene is one of horror, as Nine is terrorized by the leper’s workers with songs of his disease, complete with appropriate descriptions. As Nine’s wedding caravan approaches her new husband’s estate, a winery, it is waylaid by a lone bandit. Nine is saved from kidnapping by one of her sedan carriers. The following day, riding upon her dowry, a mule, Nine is once again accosted by a hooded

assaiitiiit. Grttigg& irito the fields of sorghum, her attacker reveals himself as her saviour of the day before. In a scene of crazed lust, her suitor madly crashes about the tall sorghum, flattening the plants where they make love (not a rape scene). Returning to her husband’s estate, Nine discovers he has been murdered, Pleading with the workers of the estate, she succeeds in convincing them to remain. However, she rejects-her lover who has returned in a drunken state to claim her. Me later returns during a celebration)of their first wine and urinates into the vat.

I would suggest getting there early for this 9 p.m. flick, Tuesday night offers a couple of severely differing types of events. At the Bomber it’ll be a rock’n’roll beer-fest with the venerable Teenage Head. Meanwhile, at Seagram’s Museum, St. Jeromes’s professor Eric McCormack will be reading from his just-released novel and followup to Inspecting ‘I”he Vaults, Par: a&se Motel in an event sponsored by Wordsworth Bookstore. On Wednesday, Go Four 3 bring their pub pop to Phil’s Grandson’s Place for what will be their umpteenth area appearance. On Friday a band from New York called Lucky Seven will play the Bombshelter. Rumour has it they play a R&B, Zydeco sorta thing. They’ll also be performing on Saturday at Fed Hall in the opening slot for rock-star of the future Barney Bentall end his Legendary Hearts. Also, watch for Arthur

In a scene of terrible atrocity, the conquerors force two butchers to flay [skin) alive two communist rebels, one a former foreman at the winery. Before a ritualistic altar, Nine and her comrades swear to avenge the death of their comrade. The climatic scenes are-almost poetic in their violence and expres’sed rage.

Given her strength as a singer, it is not surprising the main attraction here is Reader’s voice which completely dominate the album; the barely discernible backing of Mark E. Nevin’s guitar, bassist Simon Edwards, and drummer Roy Dodds provides not so much a rhythm section as atmosphere, but as spinners of mood, they are consummate artists. Shades of Costello darken Station Street: wistful strains from a carousel gives Fairground Attraction a nostalgic, carnivalesque sound reminiscent of Nick Cave’s The Corny (which you may have seen performed in Wings of Desire); Comedy Wah weaves a melancholy spell that would do Cowboy Junkies proud; Find My Love could be a minimalist 10,000 Maniacs; Reader’s playful singing almost makes the U.K. hit Perfect a jaunty cruise down the Mississippi, while Whispers is, more than anything else, a vehicle for her voice thrilling over its multioctave range. But as with any mood-piece, your enjoyment of The First Of A Million Kisses depends on your mood, and you unintrospective types who want some real meat to their music might just want to pass this one over.

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff What is it about this airy wisp of a record that beguiles you with its very guilelessness? One of the newer entries to the no-longer-so-new jazz-pop flogged by the stylish likes of Saeye, Working Week, and Car- groups that seem to spend as much with their noses in fashion magazines as writing apd playing music - Fairground Attraction has a quaint, unaffected charm and something of a sense of atmosphere rather than coolness. Sounds kind of like Everything But The Girl’s moodiness and-deft understatement, but Fairground At traction also has a range of moods beyond sombre somnabtilence, not to mention a vocalist, Eddi Reader, with far more verve and style than the sonorities of EBTG’s Tracey Thorn.

Ya, I know this album’s been out for a while, but since we’ve got a review of this Nashville man’s concert at Centre-in-theSquare, I figured we should include something about his album as well. Copperhead Road is Steve Earle’s third release, and continues in much the same vein as his earlier work. It’s too easy to dismiss him as the latest manifestation of the 1.980’s Springsteen-led explosion of working-class, bluecollar rock. While comparisons are inevitable, they shouldn’t get in the way of praising Earle’s work. Led by a much more rootsy, country sound than Bruce has put out for some years, Earle is emerging with a style of his own and deserves accolades separate from his fellow nichedwellers. The album opens with the anthemic title track, Copperhead Road, which has thrust Earle onto the charts. Along with the rebellious plot about bootlegging, it introduces a central concern of Earle’s. What happens to Vietnam vets when they return to a unappreciative nation? He returns to this theme in Johnny Come Lately, in which he compares his experiences to the treatment his grandfather received upon returning from World War II. An overkill topic? Perhaps, but it’s his concern about social issues such as these that separate Earle from the average rocker. The Devil’s Right Hand, a rockin’ ballad about

America’s gun problem, and Nothing But a Child, about (take a guess) the forgotten value of children. Neither songs are subtle, and both are pretty hokey, but the man sings with honesty and integrity, a refreshingly ?’ fashionable virtue. Snalce Oil goes on to do some good, old-fashioned politician bashing: Wd ain’t your President godd to you / Knocked ‘em dead in Libya, Grenada too. Of course, the force that drives Earle’s high-minded lyrics is the music, a country-rock mixture that feeds off the drums of Custer and his own guitar work. His diversity extends to the 6-string bass and mandolin, the latter of which reveals another interesting influence upon his sound. would you believe... Irish folk? I didn’t think so. I couldn’t figure out what sounded different about Earle’s instrumentation until I listened to the first side’s last track, Johnny Come Lately, and could hear mandolins and non-Mellencamp accordions laid underneath his gruff vocals and country guitars. So, I checked the credits, and lo and behold, the Pogues were backing him up. Though this is the only song with all of these traditional Irish instruments, that sound surfaces more than you would expect from a guy like Steve. And of course, what country/rock album would be complete without the hurtin’love songs, In this case, they occupy most of the second side, Even When I’m Blue. being the mushiest yet finest of them: Cause in my dreams she travels with me when I run / And in my dreams she takes my hand. These songs aren’t deep, nor do they need to be. Waiting On You features the worst sin of country singers: nasal vocals. But even this transgression can’t keep me from recommending this album. It’s not a neces-sary purchase, but a bunch of solid tunes that should please you Boss (and Mellencamp fans out there,

In case you’re not in the know, Ciccone Youth is an alias for those crazy pranksters, Sonic Youth. For years they’ve threatened to release their own version of the Beatles’ White Album and in their own special way they’ve carried out that threat, This is one crap record. At first you think that here is an album of some of the Youth’s more experimental, non-commercial studio foolery. Some of these tracks are almost worthwhile, But when the crappy ‘poetry’ starts you know that you have fallen into a trap of stupidity and sloppiness. Does the world really need a sloppy, shambolic version of Addicted To Love. Oh sure, Ciccone Youth are trying to be “ironic,” “ hep” and “fun loving.” All they achieve is a crap version of a great song. I hate this record, they’re just trading on their cult Status to rob you, the gullible of your hard earned moolah. I’ve been informed that every track is a cleverly described cover. Ho ho what a jolly joke! Ha ha what a piece of shit. Refy the authority of a dying power refuse to purchase this blatant lie! -

RECORD REVIEWS ,

twangs,

by Peter Brown Imprint staff It is not possible to overestimate the significance of Woody Guthrie and Huddie “Leadbelly” Ledbetter upon all contemporary music. What Whitman and Williams were to poetry, what Hemingway and Faulkner were to prose, these two men stand as tall at the birth of country, folk, blues, and finally rock and roll. I mean, how many musical artists make it into the Smithsonian? Folkways Records last year honoured this fact by releasing A Vision Shared, a tribute to Guthrie and Leadbelly recorded by artists as disparate as U2 and Willie Nelson. Cuthrie’s legacy couldn’t be represented more appropriately than with this album’s complement of superstars. Bob Dylan and Arlo Guthrie, his most important inheritors, texture their cover versions of Pretty Boy Floyd and East Texas Red with the sense of hearing these songs for the first time, Dylan’s aged voice finds a strange youth in Floyd, making Woody’s influences strikingly clear. The present ripples of Guthrie Sr.‘s influence become visible in three other tracks. John Mellencamp’s Do Re Mi is complete with fiddles and sliding guitar

while Bruce SpringSteen’s two covers, I Ain’t Got No Home and Vigilante Man, made me want to give Nebraska another good listen. Even U2 gets into the act, with a distinctive, highlands version of Jesus Christ that would have done better with The Pogues. A rousing version of one of America’s -national anthems, This Land Is Your Land fled by Pete Seeger and Sweet Honey in the Rock), makes an appropriate end to this tribute; it places the work of Woody Guthrie into the historical perspective of a nation, A Vision Shared’s treatment of Leadbelly is equally excellent. The disc includes gospel renditions of such classics as Sylvie and Gray Goose by Sweet Honey in the Rock, and The Bourgeois Blues by Taj Mahal. A surprisingly tasty version of Rock Island Line is served up by such unlikely song-mates as Little Richard and Fishbone. And don’t forget classics like Goodnight Irene delivered with country conviction by the likes of Brian Wilson. These artists, just by their own prominence in American music, show the immense influence of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. I mean, you can’t discount the people who inspired Bob Dylan and Arlo Guthrie, two of the greatest songwriters of the For those interhalf-century. ested in the heritage of the music that they listen to, this album is an excellent summary of these two giants of American musical

says the esteemed Pat Fish on the record’s liner notes, is “a single and a radio session nailed together for your amusement.” Side A is the “single” half; a few songs knocked out in a London studio last spring. Side B is the radio session, recorded for the CBC’s Brave New Waves during the Butcher’s jaunt through Canada last June. And even though this isn’t a “real” Jazz Butcher album, it’s still one of the strongest things-they’ve put out in recent memory. The title cut is a lively romp through the Classics IV psychedelic nugget Spooky, and also comes in the obligatory extended remix version. It’s a lot of fun, and - like Blame - features some fine sax work from Alex Green. Fleshing out the side is another remix, this one of the chicken-rap The Best Way, that originally turned up on last year’s Fishcoteque LP. Fittingly, though, this record is released only in Canada, and’ it’s Side B that should keep Canadian-content watchdogs across the land happy. Indeed, the Butcher standard Sex Engine gets the full Canuck treatment, with Fish howling out such names as Linda Frum, Al Waxman and - God save us! Bruno Gerussi.

Not bad for just an EP, band is now continuing with Few members but they will have a tough time living up to the magic that the original line-up was capable of creating. Unfortunatelv, this record concentrates tad much on material from their last studio album, 1 Against I, and fails to dig up enough early classics that newer fans may have missed out on. There are some great, heavyduty flashbacks [Coptic Times and At the Movies,) to keep the adrenaline flowing. There’s even some reggae, (I and I Survive) showcasing the side of the band that many forget about. Most importantly, HR’s unpredictable, wild-man vocals are in fine form as is Dr. Know’s flesh-ripping guitar work. The talent and passion of one of punk’s best bands is captured nicely here, These Bad Brains will be missed.

m -SPORT-S GUELPH Warriors by Mike McGraw Imprint staff You can understand if the Waterloo Warriors basketball team is a little leery about heading back to Western’s Alumni Hail in London for the OUAA West Final Four this weekend. Just two short weekends ago, the Warriors were decimated by the Western Mustangs on that very hardwood, 90-68. Although their opponents tonight (Friday) at Alumni Hall will be the Guelph Gryphdns, don’t think the task will be any easier.

After losing its first two games, Guelph finished the schedule in second place at 12-2, and reached the semis via an automatic bye. The Warriors clinched a berth in the semis on Tuesday night at the PAC by crushing the Laurier Golden Hawks, 86-65 in a quarter-final match-up. Waterloo took third place in the regular season at 11-3, closing out their schedule on February 18 with an 88-61 shellaquing of the same Hawks, who landed sixth place with a 4-10 record. Waterloo and Guelph split two regular schedule meetings. The Warriors took the first one, 65-54 on opening night at home, while the Gryphons eked out the other, a week and a half later, loo-93 in overtime at Guelph. The Gryphons boast their own version of the Twin Towers, 6’8” rookies Eric Hammond and Tim Mau, who stood one and two respectively in division rebounding. Add to this another 6’8” scoring machine, Tim Sprung, and a sniping backcourt with Rene Luypaert and Ray Darling, and the seventh-ranked Gryphons are a powerhouse. The winner of the Guelph-Wa-

Guelph’s 6’8” giants after playing two games against Laurier’s smurfs. “You have to change your game mentally,” said UW head coach Don McCrae.” It’s different when you’re playing down inside, especially for our big people, when you’ve been playing outside against a smaller team like Laurier.” Hawks’ coach Chris Coulthard, who announced his retirement after Tuesday’s game, spoke about Guelph’s awesome potential. “Guelph plays to their big players, and in doing so they sacrifice their perimeter players. But they can beat you both ways. Darling and Luypaert are excellent perimeter players.” The Warriors had little trouble with their inter-city rivals in Tuesday’s playoff ‘match. Aside from a brief second half breakdown, UW cruised into tonight’s semi-final. As he has since October, Tom Schneider paced the Waterloo offence with 24 points while centre Ron Braley bagged 11, Don Meace added 10 for the Warriors who shot 51 per cent as a team from the field. Guard Tony Marcotullio led the Hawks with 19 points and several coast to coast drives, and Paul DeSantis nailed 16. WLlJ

shot a dreary 41 per cent from the floor and a despicable g-of18 from the foul stripe. The rivalry started before the opening tip-off, as Warrior mascot, Blair Falconer, was deliberately struck in the face with a basketball hurled by a Hawk player during the warm-ups. The culprit was identified as DeSantis. Falconer was taken to the hospital for removal of a broken contact lens from his eye. The small, reading week crowd looked on as the Warriors stormed to a 10-O lead. The Hawks, dropping balls and throwing arrant passes, took four minutes to score a point. The Hawks took a page from their school’s illustrious football programme, as they tackled, tripped, hip-checked and generally mauled Schneider all over the court. Consequently, Marcotullio and Danny Deep racked up three fouls apiece before the game was seven minutes old. It appeared .as if the Hawks might make a game of it, as the score stood 19-14 at 1~~1. But powered by two Schneider layups off of Chris Troyak steals, UW went on another 10-O spurt to lead it 29-14. The Hawks interrupted that run with a basket at 6:14, but the Warriors ripped off another 10-O run to widen the spread to 39-16. UW held adIlead at halftime. Laurier sent a brief scare through the PAC early in the second frame when it shaved the lead to 45-33 as, De Santis chipped away inside. But like Saturday’s game, the Warriors gradually turned it into a rout. With lo:17 left to go, the Warriors stockpiled their lead to 5939 while three Hawk starters played cautiously with four fouls apiece. Marcotullio kept WLLJ afloat with 17 second half points, but UW’s depth ‘was too much and the lead ballooned to as many as 24 before the final buzzer. “We played very well defen-

taken to K-W Hospital where the broken remnants of one contact lens were removed from his eye. The other contact lens was cracked. Falconer, who was diagnosed as having a scratched cornea, was forced to wear a large patch over his eye for 24 hours.

“Anyone who would deliberately throw a basketball at a team mascot ha‘sn’t reached human yet in the evolutionary cycle,” claimed Falconer, who has demanded that De Santis make a public apology and replace the shattered contact lenses. Falconer did comment that Hawk captain Tony Marcotullio showed much concern for his injury immediately after the incident occurred. “It was totally uncalled for,” said Waterloo director of men’s athletics+ Wally Delahey. “Regardless of the right or wrong it’s not the way to handle a situation,, You have to feel for Blair and what happened to his eyes.” UW athletic director Carl

Totzke said the matter is being dealt with down at Laurier, “We have been in touch with the appropriate authorities at said Totzke. “We’ve Laurier,” registered our concerns and are trying to smooth over the ill feelings. We’re at the preliminary stages right now, but we put the ball in Laurier’s court.” “The whole thing is deplorable, “said Lauder athletic director Rich Newbrough. “I want to talk with the players and get the tot al picture, I don’t know all of what went on yet.

In the heat of the scuffle, the $1,000 Hawk costume was destroyed when mascot Bob Hughson was “sporthumped” by Waterloo fans. Hughson was shaken up but did not require treatment.

SPORTS

Drive- for the _ dream _ - _-- - - beains - - as---by Glenn Hauer Imprint staff The drive to the CIAU volleyball championship in Calgary is now upon us. Waterloo Warriors, ranked third in the country, have some stiff competition ahead of them. Out of province, perennial powerhouses Calgary Dinosaurs and Manitoba Bisons are the teams to beat. However, here in Ontario, the powerful York Yeomen, ranked fifth, are looking to avenge a defeat at the hands of Waterloo in lanuary. First, the Warriors must defeat some weaker teams. If they take these too lightly, they will blow their chances of getting to the CIAUs. Winning the OUAA championship will gain them an automatic berth, otherwise, they must be ranked within the top eight teams in Canada to earn a wildcard spot. McMaster Marauders will be visiting the PAC tomorrow (Saturday] at 2 p.m. to challenge the Warriors for the rite to play in the OUAA West division final on Saturday, March 4, The Marauders have not yet defeated Waterloo this year, but there’s always a first time, something that Waterloo can’t afford. “McMaster is scary,” commented Warrior coach, Rob Atkinson. “They are the only team in the West Division that can match up to us in the size depart-

merit. We must go into the contest with an attitude of destruction. Not like Windsor last week,” The Warriors final regular season match was played last Friday [February 17) at the PAC. It isn’t really worth mentioning+ the match was over in a mere 37 minutes. Windsor went down 15-4, 15-4, and 15-4. Despite the apparent blowout, Waterloo came out flat and uninspired. “It is now time to ask our* selves how far we want to go,” continued Atkinson. “We can’t try and figure out who we’re ,going to play first at the CIAUs. Either way, these guys are eventually going to face Calgary, UBC, Manitoba, or Laval. These teams are tough, There aren’t any easy teams.” Once they get past McMaster, the probable opponent in the West final will be Western. The Mustangs are another enigma, playing well and playing horribly. A young team, they must come up with stellar efforts to defeat the more talented Waterloo squad. It is a talented UW squad that is finally gelling into a team. When they are passing well, setter Tony Martins can fool the opposition blockers, moving the ball in different directions for a varied attack. With hitters like Lech Bekesza, the Smith brothers, Steve Heck, Brian Damman and Dave Plouffe, he really doesn’t have to worry about where he sets the ball. The OUAA West final will

also be played in the PAC. Fill in your calendars now+ for Saturday, March 4 at 2 p.m. will be a time to remember. Exciting volleyball action is even more exciting when there’s a bundle of fans to rouse it up, It is also the last Warrior home game of the year. If the Warriors defeat Western, they should at least have earned a wild card spot. The OUAA final will be played at the East Division champion’s home court. In all likelihood, it will be York. With healthy hitters such as Jacob Witorek, Bill Knight, and Dexter Abrams, the Yeomen hope to stifle any Warrior confidence to a whisper of hope. Veteran fans will recall that the last two years have been frustrating playoff efforts on the part of the Warriors. Last year (19881, Toronto came to the PAC and defeated Waterloo in five games to take the OUAA championship. The PAC was a seething cauldron of emotion, yet it wasn’t enough to boost Waterloo to the championship crown. In 1987, the favoured Warriors fell to Western 3-2 in the West semi-finals, with Toronto players looking on in disbelief. The Warrior setter at the time, Scott Murphy, put the blame on himself. It was an emotional disaster, with Murphy lamenting the fact that “I could have done better. I should have varied the offence a bit more,” Hopefully, this year’s version of the Warriors won’t need to use hindsight to win their matches.

For all intents and purposes last Thursday’s [February 16) hockey game in Toronto was a playoff contest. As it turned out, the Waterloo Warriors had to beat York by two or more goals to clinch second place in the OUAA Central Division. It was a resounding win, a 5-1 victory for the struggling Waterloo side that earned them home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. It was indeed a much needed win. Waterloo will now face the Yeomen in the playoffs. In fact, they have already faced each other (on Wednesday) and are anticipating their second match tonight (Friday] in the Yeomen’s arena. In the words of Jamie McKee, “it will be York’s last game of the year if we play the way we did last Thursday.” Once they get past York, the Warriors will have to bear down and get physical. Laurier and Western, both playing strong hockey as of late, are not exactly too fond of the home side here at the Columbia Icefield. Hopefully, the Golden Hawk-Mustang playoff battle will tire the winning team, enough so that the Warriors can roll by and look to bigger and better things, such as UQTR, McGill, even top-ranked Alberta. First things first, the York game tonight. If Waterloo’s top

preceding match, It would not have been surprising if it took them awhile to get on track in a fast paced pressure packed game. That theory was thrown out quite early in the match. Linseman got under the skin of a few York players in the first frame, taking a slashing penalty. Emotions ran high, as his York opponent took two minutes for a retaliatory slash and an extra two for “giving him the business.” Only nine seconds later, Warrior captain John Goodman did the same, taking two for slashing but the York combatant drew four for some roughing up. In the ensuing two-man advantage, Waterloo’s power play struck. Tsandelis found the mark with a wrist shot from the right hash mark at 6:~. Glover assisted on the play. The big line was definitely on track. Mike Bishop looked solid in goal, even though York was attempting to capitalize on a Bishop weakness, his play with the puck. It almost worked. The Warrior netniinder stopped the puck behind the net, unfortunately for Bishop it was only in the horizontal direction. As he was moving around to the front of the net the puck took a more direct route over the top, landing dead in the crease not two feet away from the line. No harm done, as the Yeomen really didn’t expect anything like that to happen. The York forwards arrived too late to shove in the already smothered

puck was ‘immediately at home in the twine. York narrowed the margin at 3136 to 3-1, however, Tsandelis converted a two-on-one seconds later with Linseman feathering a pass over the defenceman’s out stretched stick onto the blade of the “Sandman” for his second of the game. Nevertheless, the Warriors are in a habit of putting pressure on themselves. Ian Pound and Smith, took penalties just 21 seconds apart. This, coupled with bruised ribs to sparingly used Ken Buitenhuis took a big chunk of personnel from the defensive corps. Yet forwards Linseman and Goodman were each equal to the task. Rotating off the bench and hounding the York power play to no end, coupled with solid defensive play from Brad Geard, Brian Ross, Rod Thacker, and Buitenhuis, stifled the York offence. Killing both penalties took all the wind out of York’s sails. The third period saw some great hockey, some of the best Waterloo has played. A scorching pace was set with very few stoppages in play. Surprisingly, the only scoring play came at 19:15 when York pulled their goalie for an extra attacker. Smith, not known for his offensive wizardry, stole the puck at the Warrior blueline, spun around, and fired a shot that found the corner. Waterloo 5, York 1. The game was effectively over. Or was it? Not so. according to some frustrated York hockey players. Things turned sour when a York defenceman skated in to the UW zone to go after Smith. With players attempting to jump off both benches and coaches diving everywhere to keep them sitting, this very same player circled the net and cross-checked Bishop from behind.

But soon, the Warriors slapped the lid on the pressure cooker, and it was game over. With a variety of players rippling the cords, the Warriors went on a 14-4 romp over the next five minutes to extend their lead to 20 points at 71-51.

72 straight losses

Two chances left for lowly Athenas by Rich Nichol Imprint staff Injuries, youth, inexperience, a lack of concentration, panic, nervousness. However you combine them, it has told the story of the struggling Waterloo Athenas basketball team over most of this season. With only two games left in the schedule, the Athenas are minimizing their chances of a win, as their record stands at an embarrassing O-12, If vast improvements are not made to their offensive game, Waterloo just may ,make the gaping zero in the win column big enough for them to fall in. Evidence of the deteriorating performances of the Athenas was shown on Wednesday (February 15) when West division leaders McMaster pummeled Waterloo, 59-43, in Hamilton. Matters got worse on Saturday (February 18) when the Athenas played host to Laurier and lost in a dismal effort, 45-37. “I don’t know what it will take to get the message across to the girls. No matter how many times 1

1 drill the team in practice to correct recurring problems, they seem to forget it all during the course of the game,” commented head coach Leslie Dal Cin. “I’ll spend hours and hours looking over game tapes and sure enough, the same problems keep reappearing.+’ Waterloo was uneasy about travelling to the Steel City to play the Marauders after Mac thrashed Waterloo in their previous battle, 79-48, here at the PAC. In a see-saw introduction to the game, the two teams exchanged the lead and play seemed relatively even, with the score at 10-g for Mac after the first six minutes. But then McMaster stunned the Athenas with a full court press leaving no room for guards Kelly MacKey and Karen McCulla to move, and forcing Waterloo to make several turnovers as the Marauders began a string of steals. As a result, McMaster stormed ahead with a lo-point surge, leading 31-15 with five minutes left in the opening frame. Former OWIAA all-star for-

“Leah Ann’s progression over the latter half of the schedule is tremendous,” responded Dal Cin after the game. “She is playing a much stronger and dominant offensive game, scoring more points and getting more rebounds.” Other high scorers for Waterloo were Lueg and Willett, hooping 10 and eight points respectively. On Saturday, the game against Laurier had to be one of the most boring contests on the OWIAA roundball schedule this season. It was a defensive battle for the most part with low scoring Laurier winning, 45-37. Both teams had flimsy front courts. The Lady Golden Hawks, usually known for their fine defensive game, were amazed at the Waterloo defensive barrier. “We expected a tough game against our city rivals,” commented WLU head coach Gary Jefferies, “Waterloo played a tough man to man defense, holding us to only 45 shots. We were allowed 70 attempts at the basket against Brock in our last game. Waterloo is a better team than their record shows.” Waterloo coach Dal Cin had a different response stating, “we were okay man to man, but, at times, we weren’t looking and players like Laurier’s number 8 would find a gap and dribble through the whole defense. Noone played well today for our team.” It was a fairly slow grinding opening half as the teams horse raced for the lead with a spread of three points at most. But then Waterloo star forward Lueg got into foul trouble early, and, with six minutes still remaining in the first segment, had to sit out with three fouls, Slightly weakened in offensive punch, Waterloo managed to keep with the ambling pace of Laurier to the half, trailing by only three points, 25-22.

ward Corinna Lueg retaliated for the Athenas by draining three baskets before the half, but the Marauders kept their lead the same, with the score 37-22 at the break. The Athenas began the second half with an eight-point spurt, when they caught the Marauder defense napping. All eight points were scored by rookie sensation Leah Ann Erickson, who became the front court enforcer for Waterloo. However, McMaster regained their composure and answered back with an eight point effort of their own, building an insurmountable lead of 21 points. The conclusion seemed dismal with the score, 55-34, and ~40 remaining on the clock. To bring the score to a more respectable gap, Lueg sank three foul shots and forwards Erickson and Jane Willett scored one basket each in the final minutes, resulting in a final score of 61-43. On the stats sheet, McMaster looked as flawless as they played, shooting a convincing 59 per cent from the field, a sensational 82 per cent from the line, and out-rebounding Waterloo 2,9-22, The Athenas shot an inexcusable 30 per cent from the wood, completing only 17 of 56 attempts, and improved their foul shots to a comfortable 64 per cent. McMaster giant Heather McKay led the Marauder offense, collecting 24 points, but the player of the game was Waterloo’s Erickson,, who scored a varsity career high 17 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. The rookie Erickson, who is normally a reliever for veteran Jane Willett, has been a starter in the wing position for the past two games, logging more and more floor time.

HOOP NOTES: Interestingly enough, if the Athenas -would have shot 75 per cent from the foul line consistently for most of the season, they would probably be in the fourth and last playoff spot with a record of 7-5,., Athena guard Daralyn Bates has been sideIined on a day to day basis with a knee injury, and guard Cheryl Cillis returns from a minor ankle sprain... The OWIAA basketball finals will take place at Wilfrid Laurier Univerity from March 3-5.

The second segment was more of the same. When the Athenas narrowed the gap to a two-point deficit, Laurier guard Kris Peel counterattacked with three brilliant Academy Award winning performances, luring the inattentive referees into calling three fouls against Waterloo. Sinking the foul shots, Laurier increased the margin once again, 37-31, with 9:55 left on the clock. Then, in the final four minutes, with Lueg out of the game, Waterloo could not get the offence going. The Golden Hawks maintained their lead, with a more conservative style of play in the dying moments, to hold out for the win, 45-37. Waterloo veteran forward Michelle McCrory had a fine performance in the perimeter position scoring a game high 12 points. Orchestrating the Athena offense from the back court, rookie guard Brenda Kraemer potted eight points in a losing cause. First year player Erickson added to her fine season total collecting six points. Both teams shot a pathetic 38 per cent from the field and a mediocre 64 per cent from the charity stripe, Laurier doubled Waterloo in rebounding 27-13 and the teams gave up an unusually high 26 and 28 turnovers respectively. Waterloo’s last two games are here at home, as the Athenas play host to Windsor on Wednesday February 22 and finish up the schedule against Guelph on Saturday February 25 at 3 p.m. In that particular game, Waterloo star forward Lueg will be playing in her last university basketball game. Currently fourth in West division scoring, Lueg has a strong chance of being named to the OWTAA allstar team once again.

Snowbowl

Falconer staff

Dedicated rugby teams from around Onta,rio, unwilling to wait for the season to begin, took things in their own hands and, despite the white stuff on the ground, flocked to WLU for the infamous Snowbowl 7’s tourney last weekend. Sixteen teams showed for a Saturday of less than intense competition. Included in that total were three Waterloo teams, the Eh-team, the B-side, and a motley group of veterans and alumni under the guise Waterloo Local 549. Conditions were perfect enough snow so that tackles didn’t hurt, but enough ice so that no player could cut and make hungover opponents look bad. Waterloo A, in a feat of true silliness, advanced from the round robin into the semi-finals versus arch-rival Local 549. Realizing that the other two teams in the second semi-final didn’t count (they weren’t from Waterloo), the two teams declared this match the unofficial final.

Simmering animosity erupted in cries of “Scabs!” and “We’re going to break that union!” as the two sides took the field. Union Local 549, grizzled vet Jim “Mountainman” Gloss, Ian Bailey, Steve “Stirling” Wells, Glen “Biff” Harper, some WLU type named Casey, Terry “Nose” Potruff, and Mark Rankin applied the dreaded peanut butter warpaint before the match. This deliberate flouting of the “no food on the field” rule was ignored by the officiator, but desperate cries for justice were greeted with laughter. Steeling their resolve, Waterloo A took the pitch anyway.

Here things get a little fuzzy. I remember Stonehead getting a try, and Biff being much too serious in replying for the Local, but I can’t remember the other two tries, though I know the score was tied at two tries to two in the dying seconds. I do know that Waterloo received a series of cheek-to-cheek peanut butter facials, and that twice I was laughing too hard to tackle anything. Anyway, here’s a play-by-play of the final gun:

An all star cast

Walrus lays a shoe to the ball, a lovely up and under over the union boys. Stirling is back for the ball, Walrus is in for the tackle. Walrus, in an act of human compassion, does not annihilate the poor Stirling. Stirling evades the tackle, Pete gets on the wrong side of the huge bulk of Ian, and THE RED SEA PARTS! Steve “Moses” Wells waltzes through the proverbial “hole I coulda drove a truck through,” scoring the winning try to propel Union Local 549 to victory, 3-2, The final? All this reporter knows is that the York Yeoman will not be invited back for being too serious. ’ In the ensuing social gathering and choir practice, Mark Rankin, j a Waterloo singer of some repute’ garnered the prestigious Zulu award for his work with the vocal chords. In accepting his award, Rankin was so overcome he performed the difficult “backflip over a chair onto my head” routine, for which he has received much international acclaim. The Warriors’ next major event will be a West Coast tour after April exams. UBC, UVic, Simon Fraser, and various and sundry other establishments will be graced with the presence of the Waterloo rugby types. Please support the Warriors by buying raffle tickets for a mountain bike, on sale th.is week from any player. \

Biair “Walrus” Falconer, Ralph “the new Bullethead” Engel, Dave “Stonehands” Stone, Craig Hepburn, Mark Hogg, Adam “Ironman” Kendall, and Pete Keir carried the glory of Waterloo on this fateful day. Field conditions, having improved slightly, were now at the Mudbowl stage- - the stage- was set.

Last Friday, the Waterloo Warriors track and field team journeyed to Ypsilanti, Michigan to compete in the Eastern Michigan Invitational Track Meet. In the speedy 55m dash, Paul Meikle, John Denny, Lawrence Rubin and Rob Meikle ran times of 6.70, 6.75, 6.82, and 6.91, respectively. The 200m saw Rubin and Rob Meikle run great races, Rubin clocked in at 23.24 and Rob’s time was unavailable. Again, fleet-footed Paul Meikle showed his prowess in the 300m run. He ousted many of the Americans, capturing the silver position [time presently unavailable). Shamir Jamal ran an awesome race in the 15,oorn in a very good time of 4:.01.89. Behind him were Al Faulds in 4111.5, Mark Des

Lauriers (4:15.5), and Jeff Barrett in 4:15.9 minutes. The 1OOOm saw Tom DeKay being cheered on by girls from Western, clocking in at 234.43, Shawn McCann in 2d6.48 and Terry Gehl in k40.66.

Faulds ran a time of 8:40.3 with lots of energy to sparein the ,grueling 3OOOm, while teammate Jeff Barrett clocked in at 9:2OBO and coach Steve Scott ran a 9:02.00 time, In the invitational 3,00Om, Paul Ernst ran extremely well taking a few risks along the way. Ernst’s time is presently unavailable. In the field, Denny made his long jump debut with a leap of 18 and 3/4 feet, which he vows to better by at least four feet on Friday, in Toronto. Today [Friday) both the Athenas and the Warriors are in Toronto, competing at the Last Chance Invitational. .- .- -- -. .--

BAS-

Leah Ann is being recognized for her remarkable improvement since Christmas, and particularly her outstanding recent performances against McMaster and Laurier. Against McMaster, Leah Ann reached a season high of 17 points and six rebounds. In the Laurier game, Leah Ann contributed six points and two rebounds. Her season averages have been seven points and four rebounds per game, making her a solid contributor to the Athena scoreboard. Leah Ann attended Kitchener’s St. Mary’s High School, where she was a member of the K-W all-star team in 1987-88. She played an instrumental role in actually making the K-W Senior Girls all-star game a reality. Leah Ann was also invited to, and participated in the Ontario Amateur Basketball Association top 40 program last summer.

CHRIS BALL

OF THE WEEK TROYAK - BASKET-

Chris is one of the Warrior cornerstones at the guard position. Alo_ng with all-star Tom Schneider, he is responsible for the Warriors surge in the second half of the season, which has seen their win-loss record move to 20-12 after a mediocre 9-g preseason. Last week, Chris led the Warriors to two final league gami4 victories by scoring 20 and 13 points over McMaster and Laurier respectively. Notwithstanding a 50 per cent field goal and 100 per cent free throw average for the week, it is his defensive play and quarterbacking which are the Warrior co-captain’s main credentials. Chris is a native of Kitchener, and a graduate of St. Jerome’s High School -and its all-Ontario champion basketball team in 1986-87.
