Students, decide for yourselves by Christina Hardy Imprint staff "It's up to co-op students themselves who they wish to be interviewed by and who they wish to be placed with," said Jim Wilsoh, Director of the Co-operative Education and Career Services department at UW. Wilson, speaking in response to the March 3 Students Anainst Militarism (S.A.M.) demoktration, felt that students were mature enough to decide who they wanted interviews with. He said he respected the osition of S.A.M. but, as he tolltwo S.A.M. protestors who came to speak with him, the co-op department does not discriminate against special interests. They encourage employers to interview on campus and it is up to the students to see who they wish to work with. S.A.M.'s purpose in staging the demonstration was to raise awareness about co-op companies involved in military work. S.A.M. has compiled a list of at least fifty co-op employers they believe are involved in such work. "I'm not sure where they got their list," said Wilson in &kence to the employers mferred to an "military contractors" by

S.A.M. If someone had asked me to list military contractors (at UW], I'd have had adifferent list, he added. Wilson said he was unsure of UW's involvement with the military. The two S.A.M. protestors who spoke with Wilson, expressed a desire to speak with the representatives of the three companies to whom S.A.M. drew articular attention on the Atomic day d their protest Energy of Canada Limited, Automation Tooling System, and Computing Devices Limited. Their request was refused on several grounds. First, the people who who come to interview and recruit are not policy-makers. As well, interviewers are generally on tight schedules and Wilson voiced the concern that subsequent student interviews might have been adversely affected. The three companies interviewing on the day of the protest here advised of the situation and all said they would continue to interview. There was no question about it, said Wilson. About the protest itself, Wilson said it had proceeded in an organized manner and S.A.M. ha2 met in advance with security add informed them of their plans tin well a s the co-op de-

partment. He also said the group respected and did not interfere with co-op students. S.A.M. had placed a stamp that said "military contractor" on several interview schedules. This was a nuisance, said Wilson, because it was time consuming to have the clerical staff remove the stamped items and put up new ones and "at least one employer wondered if the uni-

versity had stamped the posting." If a student had been granted an interview with a company on S.A.M.'s list and, because of conscience did not want the interview, that student would not have been required to rank that job, and their name, if they desired, would have been removed from any other jobs on S.A.M!s list.

Ms. Barlow stressed her concern regarding class stratification and growing poverty. The economic egg model shows the predominant middle class has shifted to a pear model that depicts a growing lower class and diminishing tipper and middle classes. She used the term “entrenched underclass” to describe poor kids who could not break out of the poverty trap. Another term she used was “corporatism.” In her view, Canada is fast becoming a classic estate that sees corporate “wealth and power as (its] single over-riding goal.” Free Trade Continued on page 8 .

If you love this planet

Caldicott If you love this planet, then you may want to hear Dr. Helen Caldicott speak on the global environment and the arms race, at 7:3O p.m. Wednesday, March 22 in the Physical Activities Complex. z.“The American Psychiatric Association has studied American children and found that up to 75 per cent of primary and high school children know for a fact that they’re not going to grow up. There’s going to be a nuclear war. “Our children have leukemia equivalent. They know they’re not going to grow up, and they feel totally betrayed by us because we lack the courage and conviction and commitment to save their lives. You and I were

to scseak aaainst conceived and born for one reason in the history of the earth. We were born to save the planet and creation. Our lives have no other rationale but that. Everything else we do is displacement activity and manic denial.” These are the words of Dr. Helen Caldicott taken from the Jacob Bronowski Memorial Lecture she gave at the University of Toronto. Caldicott, originally from Australia, taught pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, focussing her work on helping children with cystic fibrosis, but resigned in 1980 to commit herself fully to the prevention of nuclear war. Her first book Nuclear Madness appeared just prior to the Three Mile Island accident in 1978, and

her second, Missile Envy was published after she had revived the flagging Physicians for Social Responsibility, an organization whose efforts to end the nuclear arms race earned the

Nobel Peace Prize. In Australia, during the early 197013, Caldicott led a successful campaign to ban French nuclear atmospheric testing in the South

The 17th Annual Campus Day coincided with the spring break for high school students, and many took the opportunity to come and explore the campus. Some brought along friends or parents for moral support. The majority of students chose to visit Waterloo because of the co-op program, and expected a UW degree to provide them with “hands-on experience” and “lots of money.” Many were also impressed with the size of the campus. The secondary school students hailed from the Toronto area and KW for the most part. One of the Campus Day van drivers remarked there were a lot/of mature students. “I’m having a good time,” he said. Let’s hope he echoed the sentiments of the visiting students.

Armed with maps and occasionally accompanied by guides or parents, secondary school students from all over Southern Ontario descended upon the University of Waterloo last Tues.

merely exacerbates the trend by creating a more competitive environment, She fears that social programs like Medicare may be threatened and that decreased wages loom ahead for Canadians. Briefly she discussed “systemic discrimination” and methods to eliminate the conditioning process that begins at school and continues right through to the office. Hoping for employment equality, she sees affirmative action as one resolution. Following in the wake of Free Trade, Maude Barlow predicts the Mackenzie Pipeline issue will be rehashed in the near future. Then returning to the women’s movement, she described the “glass ceiling” effect that many women are encountering today. Believing they can go no further, many women are opting out and leaving the fight, not realizing how much more there is still to accomplish. Meanwhile the battle between the feminist group, National Action Committee (NAC], and the anti-feminist group, Real, Equal, Active for Life [REAL] continues to wage bitter1 Maude Bar Pow ended her speech with a few inspirational quotes for everyone, women and men alike. Quoting Eleanor Roosevelt, she says “no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” In the open forum that followed, Ms. Barlow discussed the Meech Lake Accord which takes precedence and therefore poses a threat to the equality rights provisions in the 1982 Constitution.

the first case above. If men have the opportunity to take the share of desirable positions [those with money, prestige, power, interesting work). they will surely continue to go ahead and take them. This situation will continue to fuel the general oppression of women that is of so much concern to feminists. Continuation of job.discrimination is one of the bulwarks of apartheid society. It is worth nothing here that “society” includes personal situations such as heterosexual relationships. Plato quite rightly pointed out that these do not flourish where only men are advantaged with the good things in life, especially opportunities for intellectual and personal growth that accompany good positions. Jobs and personal relationships are both important in life; however, I believe Narveson sees more similarities between the two than are actually present. The sex of the person with whom one has a marriage or whatever is all important (although it is not, of course, the only feature that matters), if the relationship is going to give the individual what she wants out of it. But the most obvious connection between sex and,jobs is that men seem to be getting more of the good ones than women and want to keep things that way. When a woman is passed over in favour of a man in a promotion, it is not because the promoter has become, suddenly, hetero-phobic. Rather, he wishes to maintain the male/female status-quo containing the three injustices mentioned above. So, if I do not get the rich mate I wanted because someone else got him instead, that is just my tough luck. There are more where he came from, I do not feel badly because of being a woman [this “someone else” was a woman too]. My being passed over in favor of a man on the job however, is not really tough luck at all, despite its appearance, It is part and parcel of an unjust social creation that, unfortunately, continues into this present day.-

I have no disagreement with most of what Professor Narveson says about the hiring situation. As was well said by ohn Kennedy “Life isn’t fair,” Some people wi I 1 get the jobs they want, some won’t, But what I want to show is that there is special injustice done if the hiring situation is simplified so that it is women in particular who are left out. Nacveson’s employer A is not pursuing his chauvinistic tastes in employees in isolation, There has been considerable discrimination against women in- the past, and it is far from being wholly eliminated. In this setting, consider a situation where A has one job to offer, Suppose he gives it to C, the woman; then B, the man, can go to other chauvinistic employers with considerable likelihood of finding a suitable opening for himself .somewhere, The whole employment situation is rigged against Cc If rejected by one chauvinistic employer, what will be her chances with the others? This is not a matter of life being unfair, but of systematic social injustice. More harm, however, needs mentioning. People are not likely to consider themselves good at anything if they keep getting such messages from others. So if I watch. my fellow-women being systematically rejected for positions in mathematics, management or orchestras because they are women, I will develop doubts about my own ability to perform in these or like positions, Thus women unjustifiably suffer loss of self-esteem, accompanied by diminished effort, etc., while men gain in these at women’s expense. This highway robbery effect of discrimination is no less real for being a bit amorphous; nor any. less unjust thin the systematic deprivation of

- -

Citing an example that has offended many Quebecois women, she claims that the government, in an effort to raise the francophone population, encourages and would “pay” women to stay home and bear children, thereby defeating the very essence of the feminist movement. Abortion - Maude Barlow stated, is an issue that most of Canada is content with the status quo standing. But because there is no abortion law, she sees the court taking the law reform model regarding fetal rights. Canada, in her opinion, is waiting for Washington’s decision, but everyone is afraid to take a stand. Responding to a uestion, Maude Barlow defende d the ProChoice grou which stresses the “quality” of Pife itself. Pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion and people must not confuse the two. The evening concluded with a final discussion on feminism. One audience member pointed out the stigma attached to feminism. In reply, Ms. Barlow quoted Nellie McClung, “nobody likes an alarm clock in action.” But yes, she admitted, many people do hold feminists in con-, tempt. She sees a need to dispel the many myths surrounding feminism; primarily, feminists are NOT rkdical men-haters. In light of the struggle that lies ahead of her, Maude Barlow remains undaunted. Like the pervading tone of her speech, she is optimistic about her plans. What comes across is that yes, she is a feminist, but she is first and foremost a person concerned with some very human issues. A book, she promises, is currently in the works.

Freedom of the press questioned by Boyce Cox Imprint staff

prints anything that offends his publisher. Truly influential print is limited to those with great power and prestige. In other words, freedom of expression is useless without the means to publish it, While we can all get to “Letters to the Editor,” this material is not highly regarded and often trivialized. Newman reminds us that the point of a free press is to insure that a deserved hearing does get it. Freedom of the press is a farce if all things are printed. There have been two principal recommendations to guarantee quality hearings. One is that journalists should criticize each other, The other is for government intervention to secure competition of ideas (unfortunately government has always been perceived, quite rightly, as a great threat). According to Newman, what concerns most of us is corrupt and mischievous abuse of freedom of the press. The social responsibility theory states that the moral right of the press is not unconditional; only an accountable press fulfills the conditions on its freedom. The Hutchins Commission declared over a decade ago that the responsible press satisfies the social needs expected from it: l)truthful, intelligent rendition of events in a context giving meaning; 2) a forum for exchange of

In journalism, autonomy, creativity, and responsibility should consistently outrank purely legal and constitutional considerations, since the liberal freedom of expression allows both the wise and the foolish to say what they want rather than what they ought, Jay Newman, professor of philosophy at the University of Guelph, presented these views in a public lecture on ethics and journalism at WLU, Feb.6 Freedom of the press is generally regarded as fundamental, and contributes to keeping other rights. Newman calls “freedom of the press” an illusion. Genuine competition is nonexistent: in fact it is somewhat mechanized and monopolized. The so-called “freedom of the press” turns ocdinary journalists into defenders of their own power and influence. One who attacks a journalist is called a murderer of freedom. Newman points out that while the Canadian press is among the freest, there are many restrictions on what is printed. “Sensitive material,” for example copyrights, libellous material, hate literature, and material involving national defence are prohibited. No one will dare to publish anything that offends large groups, and no journalist

3) presentation of pertinent information; 4) to present and clarify society’s values. Others have defined the free and responsible press as one that is fundamentally rational, using dialectical reasoning and evidence, and thereby prevents propaganda, The social responsibility theorists insist there are necessarily obligations on the freedom of the press. Another agency must guarantee fulfillment of responsibility if the press should fail; however, a foreign agent still prevents real freedom. Upon acting irresponsibly, it follows that the press should be checked, said Newman. But, it is essential, the press not become subordinated to the secondary agency. Libertarians would argue that such a scenario is not possible. Journalism is really no longer libertarian. Responsibility is not self-determined; it 1; socially determined, Newman insists that libertarian, legal arguments are too relativistic, and that social responsibility is not a cliche idea. It is too cynical to say that socially responsible journalism is impossible. Newman stressed that responsible journalism is indeed jusj one kind. of freedom, but it dbes appear to be the one regarded as morally ideal, He suggests we

Pub politics Trouble is brewing on campuses across the countr , While the warning flares have been launched, it is uncertain whet ii er the management of alcohol on Canadian campuses can be curbed to avoid having university communities swallowed up by more tragedies or any yet-to-come major lawsuits. Please take time to read these observations from the Canadian university press. The politics of alcohol is taking up headline space in a great many student newspapers. Queen’6 University - (Kingston] “Last year Clark Hall bar manager Paul hardy resigned after it was discovered that staff were consuming alcohol after hours on the premises. Former Engineering Society Vice-President (operations) Evan Steed also resigned over the affair,” In a recent incident the Journal also reported “Quite Pub assistant manager Aaron Dohm has resigned and a member of the waiting staff has been fired following a March 3 incident involving the consumption of alcohol by an on-duty employee.” Univerrity of Western Ontario - (London] In Feb. 1988 “The USC’s VP-operations Mark McQueen survived an attempt to impeach him Saturday when just over half of council voted to evict him..,“” McQueen faced a special session of council this weekend following his admission last week that he took three kegs of beer from the Spoke and loaned them to a fraternity party.” In Sept. 1988 The Gazette at Western reported the LLBO’s punitive reaction to the keg-loan fiasco: “The doors to the Spoke will be locked on Sept. 22 as the Liquor License Board of Ontario will shutdown the bar’s operations for one day...” It was reported “Under the Ontario liquor laws, the loaning of or selling of beer previously purchased by a licensed bar to anyone off the premises is an offence and carries seveie penalties, including, in this case, the possibility of a permanent loss of liquor licences for all campus bars and events.” The above documentation involves nq human tragedy; however, it does suggest the LLBO is getting tougher with the management of university pubs. In turn, student councils and some people under the employ of campus pubs are getting stringent in their enforcement of the law. At the University of Waterloo, Dean of Students Ernie Lucy is the licence holder for the entire campus. Although Lucy says “We do a much better job following the laws than the pubs in town,” students and pub management at UW should take care that our style of serving alcohol on campus does not expose the university in lawThe consequences would be very damaging to the UW student image within the region and in the pages of daily newspapers. The commercial media, seems only to happy to label “the student pub” as a rich and reckless breeder of dangerous, carefree drinkers. It is encouragiig that the issue of alcohol has been opened up to public discussion by the UW Federation of Students as evidenced by the public forum held at Federation Hall yesterday afternoon. Coverage of the forum will appear in next week’s Imprint. Mike Brawn

Troubling case history of campus drinking tragedies The darkest side to drinking and one that has the potential to have some university campuses decreed as dry is the occurrence of tragic accidents. Here is just a smitten of some of the harm that alcohol has brought upon students and their guests at universities across the country. After being dropped seven stories down a garbage disposal chute, an eighteen-year-old man died at a University of Saskatchewan residence. Another eighteen-year-old student at the University of British Columbia, fell to his death down six stories of a residence stairwell after attempting to slide down the banister, After falling down an open elevator shaft at the University of Calgary, a student suffered extensive injuries, including col-

lapsed lungs and a broken neck and back. In 1985, at a pub crawl, a Wilfrid Laurier University student was crushed under the weight of the wheels of a school bus, Three summer terms ago, after drinking at the Bombshelter, a bloodied crash scene saw a UW student motorcyclist and his passenger sent to the hospital one with fatal head injuries. One month ago, a student at the University of Guelph collapsed and died after a night of excessive drinking to celebrate a friend’s 21st birthday. An excellent feature story which appeared in the March 1 Manitoban first compiled partof the list of tragedies mentioned above. The word is spreading to more and more campuses that preventative measures are ne-

Each pill consists of a high dosage of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. The increased hormone levels lead to the onset of menstruation

I can just see all the loyal patrons of the bars and special event pubs on campus shaking their heads while eager to comply with so-called “preventative measures.” But, it could very well mean, that when it comes to coming through with protective measures - for student welfare and to follow the law - students will be offended: controlled access and no service to rowdy or intoxicated patrons can often make the customer feel as though they are not king.

after the morning-after pills are taken, additional pills should be obtained from the doctor, It is important to emphasize that the morningafter pills should not be taken when unprotected intercourse has occurred on more than one occasion. If a fertilized egg has already become implanted in the uterus, the treatment might not be effective and the fetus could continue to develop with malformations, &other consideration is whether or not it is safeFor a female to take the high doses of estrogen. If you have had blood-clotting problems, you should not take the morning-after pill. If anyone who has taken the pills experiences any of the following, she should contact her doctor immediately: severe abdominal or chest pain, headaches, dizziness, vision loss or blurring, speech problems or a breast lump. Morning-after pills can be obtained from any doctor, hospital Emergency department or from Health and Safety on campus. If you or anyone would like more information on various methods of birth control, call or visit us in the Birth Control Centre. If more people were informed about birth control then perhaps the morning-after pill would not be as necessary. This column is prepared by volunteers of the Birth Control Centre.

To perpetrate this play upon our community is a dirty piece of mischief.

on Feminism angry?

all feminists as angry women, crazy bitches, frigid witches, or Lesbians. Among this plethoraof intentionally negative epithets is hidden a label that may rightly describe most feminists. To be recognized as angry implies acceptance of the reality of women’s anger even if it does not suggest belief in the appropriateness of such anger. The man who meets a woman’s outrage vis-a-vis hostility+ defensiveness or reciprocal anger can be dealt with on a human level, for a participatory response to anger leaves one room for rebuttal, argument,

apology or agreement. The anger is not projected to stoppered ears, However, much of women’s intersexually expressed anger does not receive uptake; it is blatantly ignored, ridiculed or mislabeled. As such it is a futile expenditure of energy and passion, generating more anger and leaving one feeling silly, frustrated and exhausted. Men and women are infused from birth with a patriarchal notion of what constitutes a woman and what constitutes a man. Sex-marking and sex-announcing, which allow one to easily determine the genital makeup of any particular human being, extend beyond mere physical characteristics to include an entire realm of gender-appropriate emotions, behaviours and attitudes. Selfrighteous anger does not appear in women’s script. Thus, for women to express anger on their own behalf, rather than for the purpose of furthering the benefit of others, often results in an immediate crisis of intelligibility for the man or men toward whom it is directed. For if a man’s concept of a woman does not allow for the expression of anger then the creature fuming in front of him cannot be perceived as a woman, but, since she displays the physical sex-marking characteristics of a female human being it may be concluded that, although she is indeed a wgmq she must be defective

here’s a list of companies to work for, and if you don’t, here are some companies to avoid. Rather than presenting us with carefully reasoned arguments, S.A.M. gives us absolutely inane placards such as “How many children have we killed today?” (I meant to ask the carrier of that placard what his personal tally was.) Disruptive demonstrations, mindless folk songs, and sloganchanting do not make for intellectual arguments. Those who work for the military should be intensely proud of the work they do. and the rest of us should be grateful to them. So long as there are criminals states (Iran, Libya, USSR), we need a strong military, andconpanies to supply it.

‘7 would like to respond”

D.oubter of New To the editor, I would like to respond to Gary Dann’s reply to a letter I sent to Imprint. He wants me to provide more justification beyond my questions and concerns for my argument that Kuelker has not given a convincing argument for accepting the New Testament (NT) over, say, Gnostic writ? ings. A large number of Gnostic writings were found in Egypt in 1945. These writings contain sayings and ideas attributed to Jesus. Some of these are similar to the ones in the NT; yet, the context they are in gives them a different meaning. Of particular, though not exclusive interest, is the Gospel of Thomas in which Jesus emphasizes that we are all

divine just like himself. This Gospel goes back to the first century A.D. and the fact that they come -‘from 8 source closely related (perhaps the same!) to the one for the NT; yet, they make dlaims which no contemporary Christian would accept. There is also the Mandaean Gnostics who have “an unbroken written up to the present tradition,” time, which substantiates other claims in Gnostic writings. Putting aside the Gnostics, and looking at the NT, one finds reasons for not accepting the NT account of the resurrection. Luke 27:~~86 states that the soldiers did not guard the tomb until the day after Jesus’ execution and burial and that the tomb was not securely sealed until then. The disciples could easily have taken

One CWsh Perspective Resurrection

or hallucination?

The last few columns have noted that Christ’s tomb was quite empty on Easter Sunday, and that neither the disciples, nor anyone else, stole the body of Christ and faked the resurrection. However, other remarkable factors have to be considered. Apparently, even observing that the tomb was empty did not alter the disciples’ lives sufficiently, for they returned to their fishing, What truly energized their lives was when Christ appeared to them in His Resurrection. There are several interesting factors to note about the appearances of Christ in His resurrected form to the disciples. First, Christ appeared several times when no one was expecting Him or recognized Him at first. Mary Magdalene saw Him by the empty tomb, but mistook Jesus for the gardener (Jn. 20:15). The same day, Cleopas and another follower walked and talked with Jesus for seven miles, only recognizing Him when He broke the bread for supper [Lk. 24:15,16,31). He appeared to Peter and six other disciples after a fruitless night of fishing. They only recognized Him after He instructed them to try one more time, yielding a massive catch of fish (Jn. 21:4-71. Second, Christ appeared in varied circumstances. In addition to the ones mentioned above, He appeared to Peter alone (I Car. 15:5), to the apostles with Thomas absent, and then present (Jn. 20:19-29), to over 500 on a mountain in Galilee [I Car, 156) to James, His brother (I Car. 15:7), and to the eleven (Lk 24:33-52), and to the Apostle Paul (Acts 9%6). There was a variety of locations, people, and different moods in the people, A third interesting factor is that Christ appeared in a physical body. Mary Magdalene touched Him, and Christ even commanded Thom’as to feel His wounds from the nails and the spear. Christ broke the bread for Cleopas and another follower in Emmaus, gave bread and fish to the disciples who had been fishing, and even ate a piece of broiled fish (Lk 244%43). The reason I detailed these factors is that some try to explain away the resurrection appearances as hallucinations. This counter-explanation has grave difficulties. First, even if one scoffs at the appearances of Christ as proof of His resurrection, one still has to account for the empty tomb. Second, Christ appeared in a physical body, that Mary Magdalene and Thomas touched, that broke and distributed fish, and ate fish. We usually check to see whether our siiht is fooling us by touching to know that something really is there, exactly what Thomas did. In addition, Christ spoke audibly on all occasions, another confirmation from the senses. Not only do the physical appearances rule out a hallucination, but also the fact that on three occasions, Christ was not recognized at first. Now, if one is mentally hea1thy and hallucinating+ one is desperately wishing and thinking of a specific thing or person. How then can one hallucinate someone they don’t recognize? Similarly, hallucinations are very private, subjective affairs, and it is very difficult, if not impossible, to convince others of what you ‘see.’ Yet Christ appeared to at least seven different individuals and groups, one with Thomas being openly skeptical. How can one account for this wide variety of appearances to . groups, if hallucinations are so private? It is quite significant that one group was very large, because the Apostle Paul told his readers that many of them were still living, and could confirm what he said [I Cor l&6). Finally, visual and auditory halucinations generally occur in an ongoing pattern of mental illness. But the disciples certainly were not mentally ill, and the appearances of Christ to them ceased after 40 days, which is not part of a long-term pattern. In considering the physical nature of the appearances of Christ, the wide variety of locations and groups, and the sanity of the disciples as they fervently proclaimed that they had seen Christ risen, isn’t the simplest conclusion that the disciples, and many others, had truly seen Christ after He conquered death and rose from it?

the body before then. The account of the soldier’s rolling away of the stone and the announcement by the angel is interesting. The soldiers were said to be terrified [Mat. 28: l-6). Yet the soldiers were easily bribed by the religious authorities to tell a different story. Surely if the NT account is correct, then the soldiers would have been impressed by such an event, but, they were not. Perhaps the soldiers had already been bribed to say they saw the angel of Joseph of Arimathea who was wealthy enough to provide a tomb for Jesus. Also of interest is the disciples’ reaction to the news of the resurrection: they didn’t believe it. Surely if Jesus had performed miracles of healing, could calm .

storms, feed thousands with a few fish and loaves, and could raise Lazarus from the dead then news of his own resurrection would not have been much of a surprise. (See B.C. Johnson’s The Atheists Debater’s Handbook for some of these and other problems). I have thought about this matter. And the material presented should make one pause and acknowledge that the NT is not necessarily reliable on this or even other matters. Consider, for example, the young life of Jesus. His parents were told by an angel that Mary would conceive a son through the Holy Spirit and this child would be “Son of the Most High” and a great figure (Luke 1: 26-38, Mat. 1: 18-25). Yet when Jesus was a child, he

-gdt lost on a trip and when found, he said he was doing his “Father’s (God’s) business.” But his parents didn’t understand (Luke 2: 41-50). Surely if the account of his birth is in any way accurate, his parents would have known what he meant, The Old Testament contains problems, too, such as two accounts of creation. Perhaps you will want to respond, but we would then engage in exchange of texts, and a fairly long exchange at that. Perhaps you want to discuss this and other matters over a beer rather than engage in a protracted discussion. You know’ where the Philosophy Department is, come look me up. Mix MA

Nabinski Philosophy

Satanic Verses’ called a mean-spirited polemic To the editor, To review a book that has had so sudden and sensational an impact as Rushdie’s Satanic Vms4m is a daunting task. Copies of the book sell like hotcakes, but this will be followed by almost certain disappointment when it is actually read; how could it be otherwise after such a buildup? For the ordinary Western reader without Islamic background, the work is likely to become tedious, as it appears to be a disjointed farrago of character sketches interspersed with rather arbitrary intrusions of fantasy. As such, aside from its sophisticated language, it is not unlike other trashy pulp- novels filled with contrived situations and foisted on the reading public. The Muslim reader will immediately notice its irreverent attitude toward Islam and be offended by the snide remarks made about the Prophet Muhammed and his noble companions, where three of the latter are referred to as a “trinity of scum” (p.101). To which the non-Muslim may reply that everyone is free to have his own opinion. However, all this is beside the point. In fact, the entire book is a sustained and intentional polemic agirinst the religion of Islam in particular and the idea of revelation in general. It is therefore not a literary or commercial work, Without understanding the polemical nature of the book, it is impossible to identify any reiterated, central theme, and this might lead one to the conclusion that the author is a complete nihilist or opportu-, nist. Such is not the case. On the contrary, one con-. stantly repeated theme unites the book: religion is fraud, and especially Islam, Most significantly, the main character has come to disbelieve in God, who is .described as “Absent. as ever while we writhe and suffer” (p.111) Y a statement that may be presumed to represent Rushdie’s own belief, despite his pose of detachment. This is strongly confirmed by God’s failure to appear in the book at all, even though it is about religion, as well as various other parallel statements (ie. pp.354, 378-9). Although demons appear frequently, one gets the impression that in the author’s view they only represent psychotic condi-

tions, as the main character himself freely admits (pp. 339-40). Although only part of the book is devoted to Islam and its Prophet per se, the rest of the work is entirely concerned with those who see ghosts, are ‘possessed by demons, or claim some other contact with the supernatural. Thus, the false prophetess Ayesha who coldly leads people into the sea where they drown (chapter 8) is a parable of Muhammed leading people to the false hope, in Rushdie’s view, of Islam. The Guyanan religious impostor John Maslama, evokes the comment, ‘Too many demons inside people claiming to believe in God” (p. 193), which also, by innuendo, implies the Prophet Muhammed and the Muslims. The businessman and con artist Billy Battuta claims to have contact with the devil [p. 274), which also is an innuendo against the Prophet and Islam, as Rushdie never lets the reader forget, was also a businessman. Elsewhere, the Prophet is also said to have brought the devil to the believers Cp.125). Rushdie likewise employs all the other sundry charlatans and weirdos in his book for the plain purpose of defaming Islam and its Prophet by putting all those claiming contact with the supernatural on one and the same level. Rushdie’s bitter anti-Islamic polemic is nothing new. Indeed, it is a direct revival of medieval anti-Muslim propaganda. The name Mahound which he uses to refer insultingly to the Prophet throughout is directly taken from this propaganda (p.93). His criticism of the Prophet’s private life and marriage to a number of women is also taken from earlier invective. However, in Rushdie’s employ, the invective quickly exceeds the bounds of polite conversation. For example, a certain verse of the @ran [33:50) is explained as “Gods’s own permission (to Muhammed) to fv- as many women as he liked” tp.386).

In addition,

Rushdie

fur-

iously attacks the process of revelation in slanderous language, asserting that the Quran was extensively falsified by one of the companions, a claim that he can make without having evidence to back it up, as this was, after all, only a novel. But in the case of the Manic

Vazwe, Rushdie cannot be let off on the plea that the book is on1y a novel any more than the authors of the Rotocob of the ad8r8 of Zion could be excused of antiJewish polemic were they to make a similar plea. It may be permissible for a writer to give a polemical interpretation of the facts, but what about when the facts are twisted into their opposite under the cover of fiction and literary creativity? An uninformed reader would hardly realize the extent to which Rushdie weaves deliberate lies into his story. Thus, Muhammed is said to have approved sodomy and forbidden any sexual position in which the woman is on top [p.384), where in fact sodomy is forbidden but not other positions according to Islamic law. This is part of Rushdie’s campaign to portray the Prophet as a woman-hater (pp.386-71, something which is historically most unlikely. Moreover, Muhammed is said to have ordered that animals be bled to death so they might die slowly [p.384), when in actual fact, the slaughtering of animals for meat must

be carried out with a sharp knife-

as quick1 as possible so that the animal d oes not suffer. Here, Rushdie produces a new version of “blood-libel” directed now against the Muslims. Rusdie’s work thus does not constitute a contribution to art, but instead is a hard-headed and rather mean-spirited olemic against one of the worl B ‘s great whose adherents religions, number between a fifth and a sixth \ of mankind. Satanic V8m does not attempt to further understanding between diverse groups of mankind, but rather expresses the heated hostility of an apostate and reinforces those very stereotypes about Islam that must be broken down if the pluralism of the modern world is to be maintained. It is in this light that the book should be read, with a full awareness of the author’s prejudices and a watchfuness for his frequent mendacl

South :African issue addressed

Students have the Dower for chanae - -

of the AfriCongress [ANC] spoke on campus Feb. 28. Following Jusuf Saloojee’s presenA representative

can National tation South

on the current situation in Africa, he fielded some questions from the audience. Further follow-up questions were also answered at a more informal gathering at the Grad HOUSe.

Q. What is the AM3 position regarding the im lementation of full internation ar sanctions? A. “As mentioned already in the presentation, blacks already live in the most inhumane environment. Black wages go as low as fifty cents an hour at some companies. South African companies have some of the highest rates of return on investment in the world. South Africa, like most na-

tions of

the

world, is highly detrade

pendent on international for its economic survival.

Sanc-

tions would not make the aituation any worse for blacks. Political power stems directly from economic power. Sanctions would be most directly absorbed by the whites. The ANC fully supports the implementation of complete and mandatory international trade sanctions.” Q. What should Canada do about trade sanctions? A. “The recent trade figures alluded to in the presentation whereby trade between Canada and South Africa has increased by 68 per cent is deplorable. Canada is in the unique position in international affairs that it could

become an international

Mandela now, one cannot forget what she has done for the antiapartheid cause in the past. However, this does not mean that she can be condoned for what she has done, or has allowed to happen under her authority. Secondly, one must look at how her now infamous “soccer team” came to be. In 1984, it came to the attention of the ANC

and other anti-apartheid arganizations that black vigilantes were being used to stir unrest in the townships

and

attack

anti-

apartheid leaders. At subsequent meetings during which this problem was addressed it was democratically decided that groups of young men would be used to give 24hour protection to targeted leaders. These youths would be carefully screened in order to insure against outside infiltration.’ Mrs. Mandela chose to ignore these meetinfls and the screening process to bg used. She picked

her own protection,

and I am of hoe jguards was infiltrated and then used against her. The third aspect of this whole situation is the role the South African government and the international media are playing. Strict censorship laws against covering any aspect of a banned person’s activities have been ignored by the South African authorities in this instance. The government is inviting the international media to come in and cover this story. The South African government is milking this story for all its worth. The government hopes to irive a wedge in the anti-apartheid movement. By doing this, the focus can be diverted away from the apartheid issue and put back on the organizations. It is a sign of the growing maturity of the anti-apartheid movement that many of the organizations are distancing themselves from Winnie Mandela and not letting convinced

that her group

their real objectives be forgotten. Finally, I think Mrs. Mandela came to see herself as infallible and somewhat above the antiapartheid movement for which ahe was one of the symbolic leaders. She is now going to have to pa for her actions and for the time ii eing be politically ostracized from the anti-apartheid

movement. This ostracism may or may not be permanent, depending on what future actions Mrs. Mandela decides to take torectify the problem.”

Rushdie’s novel “should not have been written in the first place”

K W Muslim leader breaks silence by Prof.

Mohamd

I, lElmaery

Mohamed I. Elmasry is president of the Kitchener terloo Iskmtic Association member of the KW Regional terfaith

the Waand In-

Committee.

Questions: What do you think of Salman Rushdie’s book The Satanic Verses? hwer The book should not have been written in the first place. Since it was written it should not have been published; now published, it should be ignored Qnmtion: why? Answer: The book is not a serious, hence not a legitimate criticism of the value system of Islam, but rather propagates falsehoods, hi8 torical misinformation and misrepresentation guised in a form of fiction, This opi,nion is shared by all Muslims as well as non-Muslims who studied Islamic history and culture. The book constitute8 a deliberate psychological assault on Muslim culture, value8 and his-

tory by its profane, insulting and sarcastical treatment of personalities highly revered by Muslims. The effect of such a publication leaves psychological scars especially for a minority Iiving in the West. Question: How can such psychological assaults be avoided?

Answer: The minorities have to be considerate of the value system of the majority, and vice versa. Question: Did Muslims read the book? Answer: Yes, Muslims and community leaders read the book, and excerpts have also been widely available. Question: How do you explain to a Jewish-Christian audience that the book is offensive to Muslims? Answer: The example in a JeWish-Christian context, is somebody writing a piece of fiction portraying Moses as “a drunken slave who was living in Pharoah’s palace, sleeping with all the woman, and claiming that

God spoke to him every time he made love to a woman on the foot of a mountain.” Or portraying Jesus as “a bastard finding cuatomers for his prostitute mother, and a bunch of rotten scoundrels as his ~companions who helped him delude people to believe he is God by staging faked miracles.” Such a book, if published by a large publishing company paying the author an advance payment of $600,000 to writeit, will make any Muslim as well as my Christian and Jewish friends as bitter and enraged as the Muslims are today about Rushdie’s book and it8 publisher. Question: What about the literary and artistic merit of the book? Answer: It is a non-issue in this context. This is like calling a bank robber a genius planner. Question: Could Muslims’ feelings about the book be compared to how the Christians felt about the film The Last Temptation of: Christ? Answer: Yes. The film was also resented by Muslims, and there were large demonstrations by Muslims in the UK, The film was banned by Muslim countries, Latin American countries, Israel and many local authorities in Europe and North America. Question: Is Islam against free speech? Atwwer: No, Islam encourage8 intellectual criticism, and welcomes arguments, debates and discussions searching for enlightenment. No subject is excluded from debating, including the nature of God, His existence, morals, faith, and so on. Reformed movement8 in Christianity have adopted these principals of free debate from Islamic teachings. Islam most welcomes debates between Muslims and people of different faith and ideology, as long as they are baaed on proofs, documentation of scientific and historical facts and most important mutual respect, but not those on misinformation or rhet oric. On equal footing, Islam is against insult, and any speech which inflicts pain or psychological trauma. For example, jokes based on colour, race or religion are most harmful. In such cases, where free speech infringes on the’ individual or roup well being (psychologica f or othertiae), then 8ome limitations have to be exercised. Forsaking the right of a minority for one view of an idealistic cause, does not in any way result in a better w,orld+ Question: Do Muslims promote censorship? Answur: No. In the first place Muslims count on the individual% responsibility and judgment to foresee the implications of his/her words. They also count on the responsibility of the publisher towards society at large. If these two levels of responsibilities fail, then the public has the right to protect itself through the laws of the land.

Questim: Do you agree with the violent reaction to the book, and threat8 to book stores and government officials? Answer: No, definitely not. If these acts resulted from Muslims, then they lack Islamic education because they let their anger be expressed in an Islamitally condemned manner. Question: How do you think Canadians should respond to Khomeini’s death sentence? Answer: Muslim Canadians, a8 other Canadians, respect and abide by the law of the land. Khomeini’8 jurisdiction and rulings are confined to his country and should not be interpreted as a threat to our democracy and freedom. Different countries have different laws based on some value system. Capital punishment is illegal in Canada while it is legal in many other countries. In England blasphemy against the teachings of the Anglican church is punishable under the law. In many Muslim countries blasphemy and insult, especially against the teaching8 of Judaism Christianity and Islam is punishable under the law. Premeditated propagation of hatred against the value system of these religions is considered an act of treason. Question: What do you think of the bounty on Rushdie? Anewer: It is a wrongoverreaction taken by people who have been deeply hurt by the book. Question: Are Muslims showing insecurity in their faith, history and culture by allowing one novel to offend them so much? Answer: No, on the contrary, if they were not secure about their

Islamic value system, they would not be that offended. Because Muslims respect the value system of others, they do not expect others to insult theirs. Question: Do you see similarity between Rushdie’s work and the writings of Ernst Zundel? hewer: Yea, although Zundel’s writings were dealing with recent history and Rushdie’s work was fiction that misrepresents older historical facts, both are dangerous assaults on the history and culture of minorities causing propagation of hatred+ stereo-typing and misinformation. Both do not add to the well being of our society, and both deserve the same degree of condemnation from the public and government. Qumtion: What do you think of the Canadian government’8 decision not to ban the book? Answer: The book should be examined carefully by a committee whose member8 are knowledgeable of Islamic values and history to decide if it promotes hatred, Question: What do you suggest to diffuse the issue? Answer: I call on Mr. Rushdie to withdraw the book. Any personal gains can not equal to the harm the book ha8 and will cause. I call on the publisher to stop printing the book, and intellectuals to speak against those among us who misuse their right of free speech and defend responsible free speech. As the British author Roald Dahl, who called Ruahdie a “dangerous opportunist,” said “Rushdie has deliberately sensationalized his book.”

that-

this

event has encountered in the past, and the efforts of groups and individuals from across Ontario and Quebec will culminate in three days of rallies and acts of non-violent civil disobedience. ARMX ‘89 will be the largest exhibition of military technology in Canadian history, providing nearly 400 companies from Canada and around the world with -an opportunity to display their products to over 10,000 buyers and users of such technology. The fair, held every two years since 1983, had been, prior to 1987, a project of the Department of National Defence but is now staged by Defence Publications Limited, a private firm. No list of exhibitors expected at ARMX ‘89 has yet been published+ but companies exhibiting at ARMX ‘87 included Canadair, Litton Systems Ltd., Spar Aerospace, IBM Canada Ltd., Computing Devices Company and Leigh Instruments Ltd. The organizers bill the fair as “A Showcase of Leadership: Industry+ Government and Military in Co-operation.”

Numerous peace and social justice groups see ARMX ‘89 as one of the most blatant examples of Canadian participation in the arms race, and efforts to oppose the fair have been underway since at least July 1988. A committee with representatives from nearly 50 such groups has formed in Ottawa to organize a rally for May 22 and a daylong enquiry into the role of Canadian weapons producers in the international arms trade, their direct and indirect exports to repressive governments+ military spending and poverty, and the effects of militarism on Canada’s first peoples.

Groups from Toronto, Kingston and Montreal have formed the Ad Hoc Coalition to Disarm ARMX, and in Wataerloo a group calling itself UW DisARMX has been organizing local opposition to the arms fair. The Ad Hoc Coalition has booked eight buses to take people to the rally May 22, and has arranged accommodations

In Israel, the report states that “Palesdemonstrators in the West Bank and Gaza were shot and killed by soldiers during widespread violent protests against the Israeli occupatipn. There were also severe and indiscriminate beatings of demonstrators, and hundreds were summarily tried and imprisoned. There was an increase in reports of ill-treatment and torture of detainees by members of the Israeli Defence Force (IDF] and the General Security Service [GSS).” South Korea, Taiwan, China, and 60 per cent of nations receiving Canadian military exports were human rights violators according to Amnesty International. Though the Canadian Government prohibits the direct export of arms to some nations+ military exports from Canada’to the United States continue to find their way to repressive regimes in the Third World: Canadian made aircraft trainers are used by armed forces I in El Salvador, Honduras, Iran, Iraq and Chile. Still, Epps maintains that Canada “does send arms exports to Third World countries on a regular basis, _and many of those countries are humarr rights violators.” tinian

Ken Epps, a researcher at Project Ploughshares in Waterloo, sees ARMX as a sign that Canada “is very much a part of the international arms trade and is seeking to gain a greater stake in the international arms trade,” The organizers of the fair concur: according to the Canadian Defence uarterly - published by Defence PuB lications Limited - “wit )1 no general public in attendance, each delegate is a bona fide buyer, prospect or user.” But some of the delegates invited to this year’s fair may be human rights violators.

Publications boasted that “High rankLng delegates came from near and afar, From such countries as France, United States, Israel, West Germany+ Netherlands, Chile, South Korea, Taiwan, Sweden, Norway and China.” The Amnesty International Report 1988, documenting t,he state of human rights in 135 countries between January and Demember 1987, reveals that “in at least a third of the world’s nations, men, women and children are tortured and ill-treated,” and that “in scores of countries, governments pursue their goals by kidnapping and murdering their own citizens.” This is the state of human rights in Chile, for example, where, according to the report, “The harassnient of government critics by clandestine groups inked to the security forces intensified n 1987, and torture by the official se:urity forces continued in spite of mealures taken by the gov,ernment.”

against humanity legislation which received royal assent in September 1987.’ UW DisARMX states in its Principles of Opposition to ARMX ‘89 that “this law will certainly be broken when .buyers from nations guilty of committing human rights violations come to ARMX ‘89. Pending the Federal Government’s refusal to enforce its own laws, action will be taken to uphold this legislation.” Bill C-71 amends the Criminal Code of Canada, the Immigration Act, 1976, and the Citizenship Act so that “persons who there are reasonable grounds to believe have committed an act or omission outside Canada that constituted a war crime or a crime against humanity...” may not legally enter Canada. The legislation defines crimes against humanity as “murder, extermination+ enslavement+ deportation, persecution or any other inhumane act or ommission that is committed against any civilian population or any identifiable group of persons, whether or not it constitutes a contravention of the law in force at the time and in the place of its commission..,” and states further that an act or omission “includes, for greater certainty, attempting or conspiring to com-

A number of companies involved in producing parts for nuclear capable aircraft exhibited at ARMX ‘87 as well: Canadian Marconi Co., CAE Electronics and Garrett Manufacturing are involved in producing training units, radar components or temperature control

craft, trident submarines or missile guidance systems. UW DisARMX also states its opposition to “the inappropriate diversion of resources to the military in a world of hunger and poverty.” In Canada alone, this diversion of resources has reached approximately $1 billion dollars paid to arms manufacturers by the Canadian Government between 1969 and 1985 in the form of Defence Industry Productivity Program payments, though all the

This base would initially meet the limited needs of the Canadian Armed Forces, but would then be forced to turn Based on the delegations that attended ARMX ‘87, as revealed by the organizers themselves, groups in opposition to ARMX have good grounds to fear that known human rights violators will be again allowed into Canada. As UW DisARMX states in its Principles of Opposition

‘89: “We

oppose

the admission of human rights violators into Canada to purchase the arms with which they continue to oppress their people. We oppose having the list of those invited to ARMX ‘89 kept from public view.” Defence Publications (owned by Baxter Publishing of Toronto) has sent out 20,000 invitations to ARMX ‘89. The Ad Hoc Coalition to Disarm ARMX had a lawyer write to Baxter asking for details about the list o’f those invited to ARMX ‘89, but the firm refused to disclose the list. Responding to a letter sent by UW DisARMX to Defence Publications, Lt. Col. Stuart P. Northrup [Ret’d), the coordinator of ARMX ‘89, stated that “Baxter Publishing is a privately funded organization which retains the right to privacy. Just as any other private institution it also retains the right to keep its guest list confidential. Furthermore, it has the right to exclude the public from its invitation only guest list.+’ Though Baxter may shield its guest list behind “the right to privacy+” groups like UW DisARMX and the Ad Hoc Coalition insist that the admission of human rights violators into Canada - invited to examine the latest improvements in the machinery of oppression - would entail an approval of their crimes and could only help contribute to further violations, These groups believe that the right of the public to know wha is coming into Canada to buy arms overrides the right to privacy+ and some point to a Canadian law which says as much, Matthew Behrens of the Ad Hoc Coalition predicts that protest around ARMX ‘89 might produce the spectacle of people being arrested for following the law. The law he refers to is Bill C-71,

mit, counselling any person to commit, aiding or abetting any person in the commission of, or being after the fact in relation

an accessory to, an act or

omission.” If any of those delegates invited to ARMX ‘89 are responsible for crimes against humanity as defined by the legislation, and if ARMX ‘89 and the connections made at the fair help facilitate the commission of these crimes, then the organizers of the fair itself are equally guilty of “aiding or abetting.” To prevent the admission of such people into Canada the Ad Hoc Coalition and the Ottawa committee have begun a writing campaign to pressure BaxtEr into releasing the-list of those who have been invited to the fair. Richard Sanders of Carleton University’s CKCU FM, in discussions with Lt. Col. Northrup+ has learned that invitations were sent to almost every embassy in Ottawa, except for those of the Warsaw Pact Nations. Asked if a delegation from South Africa had-been invited+ Northrup said no, but admitted that such a delegation could visit ARMX ‘89: as long as the Department of External Affairs allows these individuals into Canada,. Northrup will admit them into his show. The importance of ARMX to Canadian weapons producers extends beyond the attention of foreign buyers and the sales this attention may generate, At ARMX Canadian firms can find work. Exhibiting at the last fair were the first four on the U.S. Departments of Defense and Energy’s list of the top fifty nuclear weapons contractors in the world. Between them, Lockheed Corp., McDonnell Douglas Corp., General Dynamics and General Electric received contracts 1987 for

The Canadian Commercial Corporation, also exhibiting at ARMX ‘87, made the list at number 49, Wolfgang Schmidt the coordinator of ARMX ‘87, in an interview with Sanders, stated that “the smaller Canadian companies... -- they_ can rub shoulders __ with some of the bigger companies like.

to export in order to maintain itself. As Epps explains’ “this is their reasoning: if there is a war they can go back to that

company and get the weapons they need. It’s based on the idea that a conventional war in Europe would not escalate immediately into nuclear war, which is extremely unlikely, so there’s

some very false premises there.” The exhibition’s theme of “Training and Simulation” reflects Canada’s role in NATO in addition to its role in the international arms trade, Canada’s importance as a training ground where the militaries of the West can repare for nuclear war or simulate T rl ird World intervention is evident inCruise missile testing, anti-submarine warfare testing in B.C.% Nanoose Bay, chemical and biological weapons testing in Alberta, 52 overflights over Central Canada

A spirited

adventure by Jim Harman Imprint rstaff

‘Whose

The line up outside the ‘shelter last Saturday night attests to the anticipation with which fans of Spirit of the West’s fans eagerly awaited that evening’s show. The line up began at 6 p.m., and by the time the doors opened at 8, people were lined up back to the Fed Office, ‘round past the tur’nkey desk, back down to the smoking lounge and beginning near Scoops. Inside, the dance floor had been sacrifi&d to tables, and what little floor space that remained in front of the makeshift stage was covered inch by inch by peasant dresses and faded jeans (the teal thing,. not prefaded). The sound of granola crunching was almost audible over the the din of bottles of Black Label striking the tables, Put’ in another way, the place was electric. When the band came on, the bar went nuts, Strong on album, Spirit of the West are an experience live. Exuding humour and high energy, the band won over the few there who weren’t already in adulat ion. Breaking all the rules, Spirit of the West played all their hits [Pditid, Darkhouse, that Street song] in the first set, leav-

thru ,sound ing nothing recognizable fdr the hit station fans. Actually, I don’t think there were too many of those in the audience; everyone seemed to know all the lyrics already. The lyrics that were unfamiliar were quickly taught, y’kno w -it was a two hour singa-long. The best thing about Spirit of the West is that they are so identifiably Canadian. I mean that in a good

way.

Their songs are about Canadian issues and experiences that

appeal to a wide spectrum of the Canadian audience. The songs are not all depressingly deep [shades of the oh-so-dreadful Mmby song] but rather about life in the Kootenays [ “come in and have a ctippa tea, so long as I can w.atch yer colour TV”]. Peole of the Frozen North was hiParious. Using a wide variet ments (flute, wheeze

of instruii ox, flute,

bodhran, fiddle, etc), the Spirit of the West produced two amazing. sets of feel-good music, as you could tell by the idiot grins on just about everybody’s faces, mine included. I think that the band was a little overwhelmed by the response they received, especiaUy when they finished their second set and found that they could not leave the stage. The audience had formed a solid wall of wildly cheering fans, so that the encores had to be performed without the mandatory five minute cooling off period. As a closing note, I”d like to quote a refrain * laboriously taught to us during the encores: There’s no more Scot,c than the Scot abroad, We all carry old sod,

Unlike the vicious Vikings of Video, we got to this gig on time, and we maneged to do so relatively comfortabl and quickly thanks to non-pub I ic transportation. We arrived around ~30 p.m. on Sunday, March 5 at the Concert H& as One Free Fall was warming up the crowd for Perry Farrell and his gang. One Free Fall were a pretty tight band, and they tried their damndest to charge up the mainly metal/alternative crowd, but it was obvious this audience was hanging around only to see Jane%.Addic-

After an hour or so of speed metal offerings and a quick “set change,” the dry ice began to hisa and we knew it was time, Through a smoldering haze of dim light, Jane’s Addiction finally took their spots on the stage, A haunting wail echoed through the hall and they broke into Up the Beach, the opening track on hlaa 8hmMng. The crowd, as they sa , went nuts and maintaine d their boundless enthusiasm until the ‘very end of the show. A whole hour, in fact. Yeah, so the show cost 20 bucks and only lasted an hour - we were intensely entertained so we’ll forgive ‘em. Jane performed all the songs from NathfaP aa plus a Con.

couple others. The most memorable musical points of the show happened during the performance of Summertime Rolls (God, what a cool song!). Nearing the end of this song, Per lost his train of thought (or mayT e it got entangled in his mass of hair) chatting with a female audience member. As the song faded away, he inquired, “What song were we just doing? I like that one, Can we do the last verse again?” Other high points occurred during Mountain Song and Jane Says, which were recognized and well-received by the audience due to the airplay they”vev been getting recently. . It seems a shame that the t,rue genius quality of Jane’s ,Addiction’s music was sometimes overshadowed by Perry’s vulger habits - playing with a certain part of his lower anatomy onstage, and his continual verbal assaults on everything from peoples’ mothers to audience members, from Ottawa to George Bush [who most likely deserves it) Nothing Shocking? Well, we wouldn’t say nothing. At one point we thought Perry was going to hang himself right there tin the stage as he oured out his heart in a suicida P solilo uy. Oh well.

Ghostly remnants

of fruity past.

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff While all the lip service has been paid to Athens, Georgia and Austin, Texas as the pre-eminent scenes of campus radio rock, the Boston area has spawned an inordinate number of alternative radio charttoppers. Maybe it has something to do with the heavy concentration of universities in Massachusetts, thus providing an instant market for all things intense and alternative, but just look at the bands that this tiny area has produced over the past few years: Dinosaur Jr., Mission of Burma, Big Dipper, Pixies, Blake Babies, Volcano Suns, and Throwing Muses - all bands that play a heated, instinctual brand of rock that verges on primalism in its energy and dissonance, but also with a tender melodicism and acute lyricism. Throwing Muses have been regular visitors to my Best of 198- lists for the past three years, and with Hunkpapa, they’re an odds-on favourite to repeat yet again. Not exactly speed-folk, not exactly lyrical rock, Throwing Muses are not exactly anything, playing a heady concoction wholly their

own: alternately galloping and swirling rhythms, pastoral acoustic guitars and tough basa and lead riffs, Kristin Her&s crackling, unbridled singing played off against the sweet-voiced harmonies of Tanya Donelly. It sounds like a producer’s nightmare, but Hersh and Donelly are consummate songwriters, pulling delicate, disparate strands together into divinely inspired melodies and songcraft. As with any Throwing Muses record, the main selling point/ detraction is Hersh’s singing, spanning an animalistic range from frail whispers to squawks and wails according to her whim. Her voice is an incredibly sensitive, dexterous iqstrument; its raw power gives fuller expression to the sexual politics which fuel Hunkpa a. Eschewing the c Paverness of Costello’s wordplay in chronicling the often vicious war between the sexes, Hersh’s words are searching, trying to find an escape from the roles society defines for relationships which Hersh sees as subjecting women and confining sometimes unwilling men into the role of patriarch. Always resisting any sort of identificatiqn or definition, keeping her image as slippery as possible, she wryly remarks in Fail Down, “i showed this guy my pictures/ he said they didn’t breathe/ i showed this girl my stitches/ she said she had some too/ she said she thinks she’ll start a rock band too.” Admittedly, there’s nothing here that you can’t find on any of their other releases, but if Throwing Muses have already woven their addictive spell on you, you won’t want to miss this one.

In 1986, Bob Dylan was at the height of his power. In a year and a half, he’d released three albums (Bringing It All Back

Home, irighbai 61 Revisited, and Blonds on Blonds] that would provide the blueprint for

folk-rock and establish him as the most important artist of the Sixties. Not only that, but the single Like o Roliing Stone (from Highway 81) had already distinguished itself as arguably the finest rock song ever made. Then, on July 29, Dylan was cut down by a trauinatic motorcycle accident. Though he was recording again within a year, some would say he never fully recovered. Certainly, some of his future output ,[John Wesley 4 Hard& The Ba&emant Tmm Tangle&Up in Blue) would eguai * his past standard. For the most papt, though, the rest of Dylan’s career has been characterized by self-indulgence, purposelessness and artistic decline. Indeed, it’s probably no accident that his most at tention-getting work of the Eighties has been collaborative: with Tom Petty, the Grateful Dead, and of course the Travelling Wilburys. The Grateful Dead, meanwhile, remain one of the most over-rated bands that ever got old, rich and fat. Despite lameass musicianship and an inexcusable general blandness, they’re sustained by a fiercely loyal cult followitig. How does one account for the devotion of the Deadheads? Actually, it can be explained with two simple wards: good pot. Dylan & the Dead, then, is pretty much what you’d expect from a has-been backed by a bunch of never-weres.

The Long Dark Tea-Time Of The Soul Douglas Adams Stoddart 248 pages _

by stacey Lobin Imprint eteff

Paul Mavrides

What do you say to a bunch of Norse gods who can’t cope in today’s world? How do you cheer them up when they feel forgotten, ignored, and tired of being immortal? People don’t need them anymore; the gods have been forcibly retired and are not adjusting very well. However, help is just at hand; Dirk Gently is aware of them; Dirk Gently can solve their plight. Douglas Adams triumphs again with his second Dirk Gently novel,The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul. Gently is his first major departure from The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series. Adama maintains the same wry humour, inane plot twists, and impossible concepts [that just might work]; his characteristic dry, sarcastic, British wit is as devastating as ever. Both Gently books follow the same vague pattern: the main character is confrohted with a series of abnormal and mystifying events; an absurd-looking, squat man of indeterminant age (probably late thirties) named Dirk Gent1 bounds uninvited into his or Ii er life: Dirk Gently pokes and prods the jig-saw evidence into one complete panorama. This is only made possible by Gently’s belief in the “fundamental interconnectedness of all things’, - everything in the universe is bound together into one continuum on some higher plane of understanding. His detection methods follow accordingly: Dirk knows that whenever he does something, such as following a stranger’s car or buying a new refrigerator, somewhere, somehow, in some way a clue to a mystery reveals itself to him. Easy work, if you can get it, but you will have to tolerate broken noses, irate eagles, and jumping

by Jim Harman Imprint staff If you were to rush out right now, you could be one of the lucky souls able to purchase tickets to tonight’s UW Drama Department double bill of two plays by Christopher Durang. They’ve been playing since last Tuesday, and are due to close tomorrow night. So time is short, The evening’s first offering is ‘Dentity Crisis, which I don’t profess to have been able to keep track of it all, and the ending totally escaped me, but it was a hoot. Only twenty minutes long, the cast kept it at such a pace that it seemed more like five minutes. At times, it seemed as if pacing replaced content, but there’s so much of it, it didn’t really matter. As for the ending, was it madness, posing as sanity that allows us to function in a mad world, or was sanity really a form of madness requiring a loss of rationality that permits us to perform in a sane world, or was she real1 crazy and maybe Tinkerbell Bidn’t really die and the cello really is Jane’s instrument of choice?! All five roles were performed admirably. Particulary memorable was Chris Reid as Robert/ Count / Grandfather/ lover/ etc. His part demanded an ability to convey four [actually, it may have been more, I lost count) different characters so that they were recognizable, often all within the same speech. Other than his French accent which sometimes wasn’t, he did a great job.

I found Sister Ignatius to be monumentally offensive. There must be some nasty experience in Durang’s personal history for him to have written such an unfair, vindictive attack. It’s dishonest to create a spokesperson for an institution, make it utter half-truths and distortions, and then to ridicule those bastardized arguments. One of th.e characters made me want to grab her round the throat and yell “stop yer whining, life’s sometimes unfair and ya can’t go blaming the church for everything.” For awhile there I thought that it must be a parody of intolerance and bigotry, but I fear I was mistaken. Let’s suppose that the religion targeted was Judaism can you imagine the screams? Or if it were a similar attack upon the black community, do you suppose the play would have been presented? Forget it, This sort of production should not have been selected as appropriate material. Those who acream about freedom of speech and the presumed maturit of a university audience shoul d stuff it, That kind of argument is for children and Ernst Zundel. Some funny bits tho’; great crucifixion scene.

Reid also appeared in the second play, Sister Mary Ignotius Explains It AII For You, the only actor to do double duty. Again, all involved carried their roles professional1 , and Darlene Spencer in the I ead role was part icularly good. The tone of the lay was very c different than the Pirst. Sister Ignatius was a particularly vicious attack upon religion, Cat holicism in particular.

Of course, all these seemingly random events work themselves out in the end; the startling finish leaves you breathless and wanting more, more, more. All the little bits in the beginning have their proper places in the end, the Coca-Cola machine, the pizza, the green-eyed, scythewielding monster and the other things that I forgot to mention all fit snugly into the jig-saw that is many-hued and ever-amazing.

Of course, Ezra hears each of these stories from strange and unusual characters, from a lizard-like retired newspaperman named J.P. to the philosophic exboxer Pablo Renowsky. The flow of the book drifts from Ezra’s conversations with these people to the stories that they iell; with themselves as firstperson narrators. The Paradise Motel’s greatest strength is its gripping, dramatic narrative style. So much of McCormack’s techniques are visual and spatial that I often felt that I was watching a masterfully filmed motion picture. The power of his story-telling is intensified by his theme, the difficulty of distinguishing between fiction and reality. Ezra’s

island of Patagonia with members of an expedition. There, he hears a strange tale about a doctor who kills his wife and cuts off her hands and feet to surgically implant them into the abdomens of their four children. The teller of the story, Zachary Mackenzie, claims to be one -of those children. In adulthood, Ezra becomes obsessed with his grandfather’s tale, and enlists the help of a friend, Donald Cromarty, to help verify it. Then a series of seeming coincidences reveals the fates of each of the Mackenzie children, one by one. They each die under bizarre circumstances which Ezra discovers under similarly unusual conditions. His first stop is Doctor Yerdeli’s Institute for the Lost, a clinic for people with amnesia, One “student,” as the doctor likes to call them, suddenly regained her memory only to fihd that no one from her old life remembered her. The novel is full of more morbid stories, from the brutal rituals of the Ishtulum tribe to the performances of an agujado, a man who pierces his body with skewers to entertain the locals.

Eric McCormack The Paradise Motel Viking / Penguin 210 pages

by Peter Brown Imprint staff My experience with Eric McCormack as a professor and my knowledge of his last book, Inspecting the Vaults, prepared me for a bizarre but entertaining novel. I expected a novel short on sermons, but long on entertainment, what Eric himself would call a “good read.” I was not disappointed. Though his sense of the macabre is occasionally startling, McCormack is a master storyteller whose prose glues your eyes to a page and then poises your fingers to turn it. This book is about stories and their telling, a tale about tales. The novel’s plot centers around a story told to the narrator, Ezra Stevenson, by his grandfather, Daniel, just before the old man dies. Thirty years before, Daniel was seatgd around a fire on the south sea

of paradise

Memory loss grandfather’s story takes concrete form for the narrator, and eventually his life is reduced to only his memory with even less reality than all of the stories that he had been told. Ezra’s path to becoming only a collection of memories begins the day that his grandfather dies: “They must have seen, at that moment, the last flicker of boyhood in that boy of ten’s eyes, the painful recognition that the world could no longer be, never really had been, his own inven-

tion.” Not a lot of brilliant insight into the human condition, but a really good read,

some effective moods with a few of his landscapes, and some of his portraits of vineyard workers are striking, On the whole, however, the exhibition is a collection of “pretty pictures” which could have benefitted from more imaginative angles and innovative cropping. The effect would have been much more artistic. I also found the representation of wine-producing areas a little lopsided. Europe ian’t too badly covered. All the “biggies” France, West Germany, Austria, Portugal, Spain and Italy - are shown. North America, however, is full of holes. South of the border is represented by New York and California only, with Ontario the sole Canadian vineyards to make the cut. What about British Columbia and Quebec?

I always enjoy the Seagram Museum exhibitions because they are so well thought out and documented, The new show, Explorers in the Vineyard, is no exception. It represents Biblical scouts Joshua and Caleb, as well as contemporary photographic traveller

strange combination, but effectively united under one banner, Both sides are introduced in a pamphlet the museum thoughtfully offers to visitors on their way up the stairs to the exhibition space. It informs those who may not be familiar with the names “Joshua” and “Caleb” that their story takes place during the Hebrews’ escape into the desert from Egyptian slavery. “God spoke to Moses suggesting he assemble a reconnaissance, party consisting of one representative from each of the twelve tribes to explore the land of Canaan. A group was formed under the leadership of Joshua and Caleb,,and within forty days the commando of spies returned unharmed with bountiful evidence of the land’s fertility. The most striking was a huge cluster of grapes picked from the valley of Rshcol, and carried on a pole by Joshua and Caleb.” These two are depicted, with their bunch of grapes, on a wide variet of artifacts - from maps and I ook illustrations, wall plates and tiles, to tankards and goblets. The oldest piece is a Roman cast bronze ring, ca. 4 AD, and the youngest, both 1950s Israeli items, are a postage

As Moses sent Joshua and Caleb to explore Canaan, so did former director, Dr. Peter Swann, send William Nassau to explore the vineyards of Europe and North America. The exhibition of Nassau’s photographs is doubly appropriate because this year is the 150th anniversary of

At the opening of Explorers in the Vineyard, Nassau told guests that he is fascinated with photography because it can show both the ugly (as in the news) and the beautiful (which he exhibits). Nassau, museum consultant and former director of Audio Visual Resources at WLU, has, according to the pamphlti, “travelled through wine-

producing countries over the past seven years, taking documentary photographs and films of the industry.” The results of his efforts [and his nice holidays, I’ll bet] are the photographs displayed at the Seagram Museum.

Ace movie tells it like it was in Gulag by Dams1 Charney Imprint rtaff By means of the Iron Hpnd, we will drive mankind to happiness Shown for the second time in Canada, Solovatskaia Power, which documents the abuses of Soviet power in the past, appeared at UW’s East Campus Hall on March 6. Alexander Lipkov, a Soviet film/TV critic, producer and scholar, whose wife Marina Goldovskaya directed and photographed the documentary, came to discuss the film. Solovetskaia Power opens up for the filrst time in U.S.S.R. the question of the Gulag (labour camps]. It is currently touring the international film festival circuit, In previous years such a film, according to Alexander Lipkov, was impossible to shoot, but in

recent years the government film censorship has become less restrictive. The film features some unique footage made originally for the OCPU (predecessors to the KGB). This footage shows the horrendous treatment prisoners received in the Solo,vetskaia camp. The footage is accompanied by the narration in part, of the actual inmates of the Gulag. In 1988, letters written by Solovetskaia prisoners were found, triggering renewed interest in the Gulag camps, Before then, most people were unaware of what happened in the Solovetskaia camps. The phrase “special camp” was coined to describe Solovetskaia, but Soloverrkaia Power shows what these camps were really used for. The Gulag camps, beginning on June 6,1923, became a holding place for Mensheviks, Anar-

are five Gulag camps survivors. One of the survivors discusses her experience of seeing herself for the first time after four years in a Gulag camp. She says that she could not recognize her face among the other prisoners faces. Then she saw the face of her mother, and was shocked to realize it was her own. In the four years she had been there she had acquired her mother’s somber face and gray hair. Solovemkda Power tries to use some light-hearted humour of

chists, criminals, political prisoners, ,writers who worked against’ the government. It was a camp used to contain men and women in the way of the Socialist cause. Men and woman were “retrained” in the camps so they could return to society. One of the focuses of the film is on the retraining methods employed at the Soloveskaia camps. “The pole” was one of the Fhttsa soldiers’ retraining meTh$ inmates were made to sit on a pole till they were exhausted.

The v-ball by Gleam Houer Imprint

staff

It was some of the best volleyball seen in this province for a long time. The Waterloo Warriors, in fact, played at a level never before seen this season. Unfortunately, it was only for the first two games in the match. The York Yeomen stunned UW in the final three games to take the OUAA championship last Saturday (March 11). 3-2. Frustrating is an accurate description of the feelings of the players and fans alike, as for the third year in a row, the Warriors lost a playoff match in five games after seemingly taking control. “The Waterloo fans are the best in Canada, it’s too bad we couldn’t win for them,“said head coach Rob Atkinson after the game. Atkinson is referring to the multitude, the hordes of fans that came to see York go down to defeat.

The match came down to two of the most basic skills in volleyball serving and passing. “Whoever passes and serves better will win.

After falling behind 2-O on 15-10 and 15-12 defeats, their heads were down, Knight and York’s other star player, Jacob Witorek, were shaking their heads in disbelief. With the fans in a frenzy, it seemed like victory was at hand. The tide of the match turned in game three, wheh the Warriors decided to serve pattycakes to Dunning. He passed perfectly for the rest of the way. And Knight decided to take control. Knight showed why he is on the National Team. He hit everything, bad sets and good sets, backcourt hits, scrappy hits, and even blocked a few. He took control of game three while everybody else just watched. With the Waterloo crowd yelling, “Wake up. Don’t you want to win?” he lulled the Warriors to

SleeD. Siddenly it was 12-3 for York. The Warriors woke up late and tried to at least make a game of it, but that kind of deficit is too much to overcome. The Yeomen closed the margin to 2-1. Whether the Warriors thought that they really didn’t have to play hard to win, or whether they wanted it to go to a fifth game, it was hard to tell. The Waterloo players should know more than anyone that momentum plays a big role in volleyball. Would they serve tough in the fourth game? An exasperated Waterloo coach watched his team self-destruct once again. As Knight continued to lead his team, forcing the issue, keeping the pressure on, the Warriors folded under. A combination of four controversial calls by the referee and mental doldrums led to another

review

1988-89 was a splash for Warriors by Graema PeppIer Imprint staff It was with a certain amount of uncertainty that Waterlou’s varsity swimmers congregated for the new season last September. Dave Heinbuch, the man who sank his heart and soul into his coaching duties fur over ten years was gone, having finally had enough with an insensitive, and lead-laden administration - one incognizant of his comrogramme and mitment to the of that of his at Rletes. While the fresh air of the Nepean Swim Club has replenished the former UW coach with spirit, John Oesch was seen taking the helm of the mens and women’s team’s rudderless barge. There was no question from the beginning that the former Western swimmer, now a high school teacher at Kitchener’s Forest Heights, had a definite agenda for both teams. His approach to coaching was diametrically opposite to Heinbucb’s but a question lingered as to whether it could be as effective. With tiple came evidence that it was. The men finished fifth overall at the OUAA Championships, a customary position for the Warriors who generally have to scrap for points that Toronto, McMaster, or Western fail to pick up. The women, meanwhile, were fourth in Ontario and sent four to CIAUs, one of only seven universities in the country capable of qualifying at least that many. The talent was there, then, for Oesch to make the most of, and in the end he did not disappoint.

If the level of performance of the Warrior swimmers was sustained from that of years gone by, then it was in no small way due to the efforts of Bermudian Commonwealth aspirant, Michael Cash. Proving himself in workouts and in races to be the team’s outright fastest, Cash’s progress over his three years on the team

first and foremost, friendly, showed a maturity well beyond his eighteen years, J3ric Fergin, in his final year on the team, continued to flash his eternal optimism, never. allowing himself to get cross at his own performances, as good as they always were, and reminding those who often forget that university swimming is a team sport, not for individual interests.

The m&n finished fifth overall at the OUAA champiotisbips, a S customary position for the Warriors mind. Never one to shy away from a challenge, Cash’s often heavyhanded manner both in and out of the pool serves as an indicator not only of his fierce desire to beat opponents but also of a will to see his times drgp to the levels of the best any Warrior has ever done. Few get as stoked up for races as he. Combative in the extreme, to Cash hard work is worth everything if it means winning. Admitting in tidYJanuary that he was getting fed up with the training load, Jason Krupp, nevertheless, was a vital asset to a team in need of a purebred butterflyer. If he faltered on occasion it was simply his inexperience with varsity competition, but in the end the expected results were forthcoming. His late-charging style provided some of the most entertaining races of the year while his attitude that cowpetition is,

Back problems put Jeff Slater on the brink of giving up altogether. Just how much steel lurks beneath the surface was evident by the way he put the pain out of his mind and swam as hard and fast as ever. Someone who has swum as long as he no doubt feels a degree of blunted enthusiasm. That he can perform with continued excellence serves notice of how indomitable is his professional spirit. He will be back for a fifth and final year no doubt infused with his continuing desire to put as much into the sport as he has been able to take out, Dave Dineen and Chris Cupidio swam with customary energy, the latter’s breaststroke blindingly swift over 50 and lOOmetre ,distances while the former’s backstroke continually belied his actual speed. Both add a dimension of fun and levity to the team that pierces the strain of rigorous training,

To Dineen’s position as the Warrior’s top backstroker was added the support role of Kevin McDonald. His emergence through the year as a top contender was a welcome revelation and a more earnest person in the pool and genial person out of it you will not find elsewhere. Steve Head had to be convinced his presence was needed and once back in the pool that necessity was confirmed. Never lacking in effort, Head racea as hard as anyone and will get the job done whether it’s a ZOO-metre breaststroke or a Zoo-metre freestyle. Initially, Greg Pye appeared less convinced of his desire to swim but, like his team’s leader Slater, his commitment to a job once begun is entire. His level of fitness is the envy of all and few could achieve as much as he with so little training to support it. Reliable in the extreme, his efforts in the pool merit considerable praise,

Adams and his million-volt getaways

Dave Adams’ million-volt-getaways were miased by the team, so Scot Whyte was groomed as his likely replacement. He has the strength to succeed in the short freestyle sprints, and continued refining to his technique should surely see that occur, Mike Hoehn excelled in the individual medleys, showing a latent talent that brought doughty

swims throughout the season for the layed back waterpolo player. Andrew Codrington - a breaststroker of considerable potential - also improved in even increments and should play a more significant role if his progress

‘continues unabated. Al Hairier had high hopes for his season but the rigors of grad studies divided his priorities and never gave him fie chance to get as much out of it as he expected. The ever-likeable Dan Stratton, meanwhile, offered flashes of forcefulness that were impressive but as rare as his appearances at practices. Tim Hancock never gave up’ trying, much to his credit, and earned his right to swim at the OUAAs as did teammates Mark Creighan and Aussie rugby player Damian Byrnes, regret tably swimming for only one term. Pat Dooley’s progress and effort from September were immeasurable while Dan Chui had his breaststroke up to par but his progress was stymied by a winter workterm.

UW blows the final Koops on either deep hole to dig out of. At 13-3, Waterloo finally woke up, again. Steve Smith, by far the most consistent performer for UW on the day, put down some balls with authority, giving a much needed boost to his cohorts. The gap was closed to 14momentum was 10, the swinging. The crowd sensed a resurgence. Even though York ended up taking the fourth (15-10) to force a deciding game, the re-emergence of the Waterloo attack, their defence, their blocking, boded well for the fifth game. Everyone that went to the game knows .what happened. It looked as though Waterloo didn’t want to win at all.

It was quite obvious that they did, however, they were beaten by a better team on that particular day. Analysis of the match? York passed perfectly in the final three games, Waterloo didn’t. Mentally, the Warriors lost it. There were a lot of balls dropping between players who expected the other to get it. A synopsis? Waterloo can beat York if they want to. They showed how good they can be in the first two games. First, the CIAO matchups. The ranking

committee ended up reversing the seedings, with York going to third, Waterloo back down to fifth. Waterloo can only meet York in the final or the bronze medal match. Waterloo will meet UBC in the first round. If the Warriors win this one, they will most probably meet Calgary, the top ranked team in Canada, in the semifinal.

Not to be outdone, the 4 x4mm relay team of Derek King, Kirkham, Mark Stender, and Meikle, hacked two seconds off last week’s record performance, to finish seventh overall with a time of 3:22.64. In the individual events, Paul Meikle represented UW in the . zoom race. A bit tired after the fast 4 x 200m relay race, Meikle cruised to a sixth place finish in 35.30 seconds. It was a good experience for the UW squad and they would like to extend thanks to coach Chris Lane, head coach Duane Kennedy and the Athletic department for making this trip possible.

Last Thursday seven Waterloo Warriors track team members [coach included), journeyed to Sherbrooke, Quebec, to compete at the CIAU track and field championships. The meet was held March IOII at the Universite De Sherbrooke, which boasts a peculiar, highly banked indoor track facility, that is conducive to quick, explosive races. The Warrior 4 x zoom and 4 x doom relay teams took advantage of the track’s unique qualities, totally obliterating the old UW records for these events.
