Small change w a s the order of the evening, as the Federation of Students held its Annual General Meeting on March 28. The most hotly contested motion concerned a 70 cent increase in Fed fees, and a pool demanding 25 cents circulated in Needles Hall 3001 to guess when the meeting would end. The first agenda item w a s the customary appointment of the Board of Directors of the Federation of Students Corporation. This consists of the three executive members and four other councillors selected by the members. The executive, of course, is President Dave Readman, Vice-president (university affairs) Fran Wdowcsvk. and 1rice-~iesident (operations and f:inance) Tim Collins. The other ftour Board members for 1989-90 re Karen Gregory, Ben Rhody, ALoger Tudor, and John Herbert, lone of whom are strangers to ouncil. In a losing cause, Ivan 2:ahra commented that "like the P)resident-elect, I am lacking in xperience." This elicited sevral chortles. The next formality was a reiew of the past "exciting p a r " ~y outgoing President Adam :hamberlain. He boasted that 'ederation Hall's mort age was he onlv outstanding f e b t held
by the Feds, and lauded such practical purchases a s the button-maker and Scoop's yogurtmaker. Chamberlain listed the computerization of the Federation office, and purchases of the safety van and video equipment, a s further useful investments in '88-89. He also stressed the per-, sonnel changes within the Federation: O m b u d s p e r s o n M a t t Erickson. Bombshelter manager Dave Playfair, and Fed Hall assistant manager Mike Tory. The student life building is now on the horizon, said Chamberlain, with administration opposition a year-and-a-half-ago changing to a "general consensus supporting it." Discussed a s well w a s the Fed fee increase. Is seventy cents too much to ask for? Some, including Math councilors John Herbert and Paul Obeda, thought so. They argued that the operating budget surplus of about $40,000 and the allocation of $300,000for Fed Hall renovations, without having to borrow, proved that the Federation did not need an increase in student revenue at this time. Arts~epresentativeTim Jackson, Matt Snell, and outgoing VPOF Shane Carmichael countered that the hike w a s only consistent with inflation: 4.1 per cent, and that a small increase now avoided having to ask t h

This is procedurally important, since increases equal to or less than the inflation rate can be approved by calling a general meeting, while ones larger than that must be put to a student referendum.

The Federation of Students have sent a letter to Andrew Brandt, leader of the Ontario P.C. party askingfor the resiphation of Cam Jackson from his position a s Education Critic. The letter is in response to a letter from Jackson that appeared in the University of Toronto paper The Newspaper the day before an OFS referendum was held at that university; the university voted against membership in OFS. Jackson's letter was critical of the OFS, stating that U of T didn't need to be part of the OFS to be effective. As well, he denied that OFS deserved any credit for the success of the exclusionary bylaw legislation that he had introduced. "We were flabbergasted," said Duncan Ivison, OFS Campaign Researcher, of Jackson's letter. "We were shocked and upset that he chose to air his views the day before the vote." Jackson had showed support for the OFS until then. The reaction of the OFS was to
immediately send a letter to Andrew Brandt, stating that Jackson had become someone they could no longer work with. The letter asked for Jackson to be removed from his post. "I can only conclude that either Mr. Jackson is extremely caught up in petty politics or he is quite stupid," said Adam Chamberlain in his letter to Brandt. "Whether or not Mr. Jackson disagrees with some of the policies of the OFS is irrelevant." In conversation with departing vice-president (university affairs) Wendy Rinella, Jackson had referred to the OFS as "a wing of the NDP." "He's way off grounds" said Rinella. "He stuck his nose in where he shouldn't have been," she said. Her sentiments echoed those expressed in Chamberlain's letter, which said lackson w a s "meddling." Shelley Potter, OFS Chairperson, Edith Gameau, Chairperson-elect and several other OFS .representatives will meet with C a m Jackson a n d A n d r e w Brandt April 11 to discuss the situation.

And UW layed a major role in the pub Piehing of the 20.volume, 291,827 entry, book of words, 4 Lead by Dr. Frank Tompa and Dr. Gaston Gonnet of UW’s Computer Science department, a team of IO Canadiana developed the computer software which made ossible the updating and publis K ing of the revised OED in 45 years less then it took to publish the first edition. ’ The original OED, the brainchild of Scottish grammar school teacher James Murray, appeared between 1884 and 1928 in fascicles tihich sold for $i each, Then in 1933, it was consolidatedinto 12 volumes and a one volume
Part of UW’s increased iivolvement was the designing of an improved “tag set” for identifying components of an entry and the development of software to : find outdated definitions. Tompa and Gannet 61~0 created two text management and retrieval programs, PAT and GOEDEL. PAT allows the user to find words, locate a word if only the definition is known, discover words which, say, end with zop or pick out words for which their is a citation from , Douglas Wright. GOEDEL, which will not be completed uhtil the end of the year, supports the text management system arid is a more powerful text manipulation software then PAT, There are plans to put the new 43ED on a compact disc; howl . ever, if you have just got to get that 20~volume set onto your bookself now, it will cost you $3,125 Canadian.

As the final of these four supplements was being completed i_r! 1983, the ‘Oxford Univemity Press realized their present method of maintaining the OED was a losing battle. The Oxford University Press decided to look to corn uter technology to soltie its pro 1 lem. That is where UW came onto the scene. In 1984, UW was selected over fourteen commercial inetitutions, to enter into a partnership with the Oxford University Press, International Computaprint Corporation in Washington Pennsylvania and IBM [UK], to computerize the l&volume dictionary. . Originally UW was to develop the data base which would store the 530,845,788 bytes of information, and the software to allow the OED to be updated, However, as‘the project got underway, the university’s involvement escalated.

F.ed exec. ,report C’ard With Tuesday night’s Federation of Students’ Annual General Meeting, the power to represent the students of UW and partially control a budget of more than one million dollars passed to new hands. As we wind down another academic term and year, we reflect on the performance of the Students’ Council and, especially, the executive. The university’s triumvirate of Chamberlain, Rinella, and Carmichael had ups, downs, and fun along the way. Following, Imrint looks at their thoughts on the year% diverse issues, from a Eeauty pageant to student course evaluations, from maintaining a national lobbying voice to having as many roommates as you want. Oh yeah, and Homecoming, too.

Past President Adami Chamberlain “I feel I accomplished what 1 wanted to. It is tough, you would like to do big things, but it is tough to do tangible things,” said Adam Chamberlain of his term as president of the Federation of Students. Chamberlain says. he spent most of his time “troubleshooting, acting as a mediator and making sure the Federation stayed healthy. ” “The organization has held and hopefully it will become healthier as time goes on,”
“This is one of the healthiest student governments on a Canadian campus,” Chamberlain boasts. Carmichael says Chamberlain was a good person to- develop ideas with and let his managers manage. “He has a quiet style of managing.” The work done on the fundin and tuition resolution, whiz ii will be presented to the Board of Governors at their April meet-
“Oni of the healthiest student goveWnents” a I ing, is also something ‘Chamberlain is roud of. “The resolution would E ave been very different if we [the students] were not involved.” While Chamberlain’s name will long be forgotten when a student -life building is built
within the next decade, he can be credited withgetting the ball rolling. Chamberlain was the chairman of a Federation committee which researched and submitted a proposal to the university. Chamberlain says he is very happy with the speakers brought in by the Public Issues Board and the work done by,the Cotimunications Board. “I don’t take credit for the work done, * but as part of my job is being a catalyst, I do take pride in it.” One of Chamberlain’s election promises involved initiating student run course/professor- evaluations. “We laid really good ground work, it will still take a few years to get flying.“. Chamberlain, who ii tying the knot next June, says he is. waiting to find out if he has been accepted to law school. As far as politics go, Chamberlain says it was interesting bult does not plan on getting back into that iambit to% SOOT.
“Surviving was my biggest achievement,” quipped Shane Carmichael. Carmichael, as the Federation of Student’s Vice-president of Operations and Finance, made things interefting on the UW campus in more ways than one. Apathy saw its strong hold on UW students loosened with the success of such events as Canada Day, Orientation Week and Homecoming. The strings to the Fed purse where also loosened sometimes a bit too much. According to Carmichael, his term’ went “fairly well, except for the non-confidence motion.” During a student council meeting in November, council cuffed many of Carmichael’s powers and passed a non-conlldence ’ motion to curb the influence he could have had over Winterfest and Cultural. Carivah (both events were held in February) in response to Homecoming 1988 , being $4,500 over-budget. Carmichael, however, defends his Homecoming budget. “Homecoming came off well, tie got the students and Federation entrenched in the events. Before it was just one pub, now there is a lot to do.” ’ In the long-run, ’ despite the controversy, Carmichael feels Homecoming turned out for the . best, - “We-came up with a good

Surviving “biggest achievement” concept, The money laid out now ensures growth.” Expanding on the non-confidence motion, Carmichael says he was “disappointed that people made decisions before they knew all the facts.” “The reason people were coming at me was more a matter of personality (conflicts) then issues. If those councilors [who made the con-confidence motion] were really acting in the best interests of students, why did they not come up to me bef&e the, counci? meeting and say, Continued 011page 5.

New Studetits’ Councillors elected The newly elected students’ council for 1989-90 met for the first time on March 28, just before the annual general meeting. Presiding for the first time were President Dave Readman, VPOF Tim Collina, and VPUA Fran Wdowcsyk. Much of the meeting served to familiarize new council member8 with the formalities, and to introduce 8ome new items. Appointment of chairpersons to t’he various boards was the main order of business. All of the positions need an appointee for the spring term, and, another for the fall 1989 and winter 1090 terms. Here’s the chairpersons to date: Board of Entertainment-Roger Tudor [Spring), Steve Greiner(Fall/Winter); Creetive Arts Board - Steven Markan (S), Sandra Serafani[F/W); International Students Board - Charu Gupta (F), Derek Osborne(W); Board of Academic Affaiv - Rosario Dimartino (F); Public Iesuea Board - Stephen Lee (F,W); Board of interaal Liaison - Terry Playford (S), Martha DeGannes (F,WJ.

Carmichael says nothing really stands out in his mind when it comes to achievements. He does mention the Feds are now well established in many major events. “1 worked hard aqd recognized the importance of accomplishing this. Events the Feds ran were successful in that way.” How about the press? Do you feel you were unfairly treated by the Imprint? ‘+Ido think coverage wa8 unfair, Not all the facts always came out in the paper.” Carmichael also feels the Imprint seneationaliged events surrounding him and did’ not address. the real problems. From his term as VPOF, Carmichael feels he learned a lot about people, and how to be per3istent in order to achieve goals. Carmichael added he ha8 learned that “sometime8 problem8 cannot be solved in traditional ways, so you must change .the system.”
Carmichael plans on finishing off the last year of his science program in the fall; howevtir, he is not leaving student politics; Carmichael sits a8 a councilor on the Federation.

“I realized thtit, for the last 18 years, I’ve been struggling around the world to save an earth that’s dying.” Encompassing the destruction of forest8 around the world, the greenhouse effect, ozone depletion, nuclear power and global thermonuclear war, Dr. Helen Caldicott gave a grim proghosis on the state of a very sick patient planet Earth. Caldicott, who founded International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, is well known for the National Film Board film If You Love This Planet, Physicians for Social Responsibility, the organization she rebliilt from almost nothing, won the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize . for its work to end the nuclear arms race. . In her native Australia, she said,that all men above 65 years of age have some form of skin 1 cancer. and that the incidence of skin cancer is high and increasing. She attributed these cancers to ozone layer damage, damage -that she said could be repaired if only the forests currently being chbpptid, bulldozed and burned were left to return oxygen to the atmosphere where it partially reverts to ozone. Off theeast coast of the United States up to one third of all fish caught have cancer, she told the PAC audience: it’s “an ominous premonition of what’s going to happen to us.” She spoke about, Canada’s beautiful lakes: “they’re clean, crystal clear, because they’re dead.” She reminded the audience that d Canadian forests are dying f&m acid rain.

ism for the rest of us, she notes. She briefly mentioned ARMX ‘89, the largest weapons exhibition and military trade fair in Canadian history, to be held in Ottawa frdm May 23-25, as an example of this trillion dollar spending spree. Dr, Caldicott described the distribution of we.alth in North America, wheie QO per cent of the people have almost no assets and 5 per cent control more than 50 per cent of the wealth. “The corporations are going to take over your country.” She also talked about Third World nations, and the threat their people pose to the corporations that run the government, corporatjons .who search the world over for the cheapest labour costs. “If any of those countries go like Cuba -become free - America will lose its slave states.” She had a private meeting with Ronald Reagan in the early 19809, arrafiged by the president’s daughter herself, to talk to him about the nuclear crisis. He pulled from his pocket a note, which he then read t’o her. The note - Reagan said it came from his intelligence sources - ei-
plained hoti people in the peace movement were KGB dupes or Soviet agents. The same accusa.tions had been published in Reader’s Iligest the week befdre the meeting. Caldicott insisted she is not anti-American. At the time of her meeting with Reagan, around 80 per cent of the American people were in favour of a nuclear freeze: Reagan had just labelled most of his own popul& tion communist subversives, she said. The environmental and -nuclear issues are “both as important as each other.” But, Caldicott believes that nuclear disarmament is now possible because of Gorbachev and his unilateral initiatives. She likened the Soviet leader to Jesus Christ because he “turns the other cheek, walks the extra’mile,” and contrasted his unilateral 19. month nuclear test ban with the Reagan-Bush -buildup that had five new. nuclear bombs produced each day. Bush and his Secretary of State Baker are “waiting for Gor‘bachev to fail... when the major. ity of citizens in the world desperately want nuclear disar-mament. If we lose Gorbachev, we’ve lost it, the world’s doomed, (Bush and Baker) need to be hospitalized for the public health of the world.” In the 1970s Caldicott led an effort to ban the export of uranium from Australia. She went to the unions “and told them about the medical consequences of nuclear power .and uranium mining with specificreference to the effect of radiation upon their testicles.

Phnet going to hell in a’ handbasket Continued fkom page 6 they would not mine or export uranium.” She made explicit the ties between nuclear power and nuclear weapons. Nuclear power, unlike AIDS, “will produce an epidemic the likes of which the world has never’ seen before..# producing many more genetic diseaaes down the time track and millions and millions and millions of cases of cancer for the rest of time: that’s what nuclew power means. Nuclear power in the long term is-far more dangerous to the earth than the greenhouse effect.” She blasted the nuclear industry for pushing nuclear power as an answer to pollution and global warming and, regarding the industry’s claims that radioactive waste can be stored safely underground, said “they’re lying.” “The tip of the iceberg is obd vious, in the United States, around the weapons ‘plants where all of them have produced massive quantities of radioa& tive pollution and [the department of energy) has lied about it. People have been inhaling plutonium, breathing in uranium and radioactive toxins, and it’s been concentrating in their food. That’s a glimpse of what the fuI ture holds.” Estimates on the cleanup costs go as high as $170 billion, but “you can’t clean it up. There’s been a huge covbr-up.” “My prime minister in Aus tralia was edged out by the CIA in 1975.u not to understand how the CIA operates is living in fantasy land, and they’re everywhere.

Currently she is concentrating on building an educational base in Australia, In her talk, Caldicott mentioned two companies in Waterloo: Raytheon and Hewlett Packard; the latter wishes to build on the campus-and “is one of the biggest corporations in the States working on nuclear weapons and first strike systems, and so is Raytheon.” Commenting on the role of the university in the nuclear arms race, Caldicott said that “to teach students and send them into corporations who are preparing to exterminate life on earth, you could almost compare that to the situation in Germany in the 194Osl.. but it’s more wicked you see, because it’s the . whole earth.

After four years at this university - three of them spent in the bowels of Imprint, I am probably one of the more cynical bastards oh this campus; yet, I remain convinced, that in terms of the average person you meet in residence or in the lecture hall - a more down-to-earth and personable breed of student you will not find anywhere else. School nationalism w aside, my instincts, insights &nd gut feelings tell me that I and my peers were valued little for these qualities. Thepe is hope for the administration, however, as a commitment of a large sum of money to be put toward a new student life building looks like it will be in the offering.

Reader questions OCP explanation To the editor, I would like to congratulate Imprint on its straightforward honesty, its total lack of hypocrisy, and its interesting use of a convergent argument in cancellina Mr. Kuelker’s column. The last thing the UW student body needs is to be exposed to columnists who are trying to convince readers of the truth of their viewpoint by using convergent evidence or unargued-for assumptions. We should therefore feel grateful that, irrespective of content, Imprint refuses to run articles which proceed in this manner. One is reminded of the brilliant reasoning used by Lyn McGinnis in his articles attacking the Biblical record of Jesus’ life; protesting against the conservative reaction in the United Church over the ordination of homosexuals, and painting a picture of the Ugly Canadian, For-. u
tunately, his assumptions were self-evident, his evidence linked rather than convergent, and his articles totally lacking any suggestion that people should convert to his viewpoint. More recently, examples of similarly airtight reasoning and assumptions, as well as a l&k of any desire to proselytize readers, have been found in Prof. Lefcourt’s attack on Islam, Mr. Stampo’s attack on SDI, Mr. Brzustowski’s never-ending attacks on the military, Mr. Thomson’s attack on free trade, and Prof, Anne Innis Dagg’s implied suggestion that women who adhere to traditional family values and want to bring up their own children like responsible adults (or at least give birth to them and put them up for adoption instead of killing them before they leave the womb].

Satanic Verses a “catalogue of insulting lies” To the editor, Professor Lefcourt has suggested that Muslims are insecure for reacting to Salman Rushie’s book, The Satclnic Verses. What a curious word; are Canadians insecure for so strongly defending freedom of speech? It would be more appropriate to say that many liberals have shown themselves to be very naive in not rec“freedom” is a ognizing that metaphysical concept; a concept which can acquire a wide range of implications. Islam opposes freedom while “the West” upholds it, as has been often simplistically suggested. Freedom of religion is a right in Islam; the Quran states:
“Let there be no compulsion in religion.” At the same time, freedom of speech is not an absolute right in Canada. Among other things, hate literature and slander are prohibited in Canada. One could, for example, be punished for publishing a book which falsely claims that a certain person’s mother is a prostitute. Muslims see Rushdie’s work as an analogous piece of slander. We are not upset because the book “humanizes” the Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him], as Mr. McGinnis says, for Muslims have never deified the Prophet or said that he was in any way more than human. But as a Prophet of Allah, Mu-
hammad is dearer to Muslims than their own mothers and Rushdie’s book is a catalogue of insulting lies against him, Some protest that this is a work of fiction, and wonder whether Muslims are incapable of recognizing the difference between “fact,” i.e. historical studies, and “fiction,” i.e. novels, Of course we know the difference, but we do not believe that anyone can escape responsibility for what they say, no matter what form their words take. And surely Muslims are not the first to call for art to be responsible. Indeed, all art forms in the West have gone through cycles of decadent, art-for-art’s sake, followed by a call for an emphasis on meaningful content. Many people, artists included, cannot accept an artist’s claim
that the effects of his art on the world are not his concern. A strikingly similar claim is made by Philip Rushton in defence of his research when he claims he is just making science and is not responsible for how it is used. Similarly innocent “in themselves,” are sub-automatic machine guns, the National Rifle Association claims. It has seemed very easy for some people to forget that these are at least legitimate concerns and issues for discussion, and fall back on name calling, such as “fanatics, ” “fundamentalists,” and “extremists,” Applying a sinister label to any group is the easiest way to dismiss their legitimacy without having to discuss their views. Finally, we wonder why Professor Lefcourt seems so bo-
thered by the fact that Muslims are relatively united on this one issue? Of course, we are not psychologists, but is he not being just a little paranoid7 Canadian Muslims have only exercised their right to condemn and protest against what they consider slanderous and harmful material. We have asked the government to consider our views, We have nothing to apologize for and do not want to appear defensive by forcing a discussion about this issue with everyone who is not interested. But for those interested in reasonable discussion, the Muslim Students Association meets Friday nights in the Campus Centre.

“I can think for myself” The apple, long associated with good health, now carries carcinogens with its crunch. A major source of this contamination is daminozide, a chemical primarily used as a growth regulator, and marketed under the trade name Alar. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that life time exposure to fruit treated with Alar may result in a human cancer rate of 1 in 1000. Children are more at risk, with a rate possibly as high as I in ICIO, due to their increased exposure to the chemical, Despite such findings, the EPA has been reluctant to impose a ban, and maintains there is a need for further testing. The chemical’s maker, Uniroyal, is now financing long-term health studitis by an independent lab, The research involves two to four year feeding studies using mice and rats; it is presently at the half way mark. The eventual results will be reviewed in Canada by the federal department of health and welfare, which will decide by this year or later whether Alar use can continue. In the meantime, several major U.S, grocery chains (Safeway, Giant, Jewel] and fruit processing companies [Gerber, Heinz, Mott’s) have responded to public boycotting and other consumer pressure by refusing to accept Alar-treated fruit. Alaris used to ensure the uniform ripening of a crop and to reduce labour costs, It is also favoured for cosmetic benefits, since it enhances a fruit’s colour and firmness while prolonging its shelf life, Used mainly on apples, Alar is also sprayed on a variety of other fruits, including peaches, plums, cherries, pears, nectarines and grapes, as well as peanuts. Because of its systematic nature, the chemical cannot be removed by washing or peeling the skin - it is absorbed by the entire fruit, When fruit sprayed with Alar is heated or processed, daminozide produces a contaminant by-product known as UMDH [unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine), a contaminant suspected of being both carcinogenic and mutagenic. According to the Massachusetts department of public health, UMDH can cause “cancer in laboratory rats.” Animal studies also indicate that UMDH can cause changes in chromosomes, Toxicologists have no way of determining the long-term health effects of ingesting low levels of agricultural chemical residues. Although they can establish a level of exposure above which death or illness will likely occur, they cannot provide a threshold below which there will be no biological damage. Daminozide is one of 18 chemicals presently under “special review” by the EPA. In 1985, the EPA announced its intention to ban the chemical, then withdrew such plans following several closed-door meetings with Uniroyal. The EPA subsequently requested that Uniroyal perform the additional toxicology studies, now underway. No product restrictions are anticipated until the final report is released in the next one to two years, Most product testing in the US and Canada is conducted by the manufacturers. Although this lessens the cost to the public, the possibility of decreasing objectivity in testing and subsequent interpretation of results is of concern. Because many large companies are American owned and research funds are limited, Canadian authorities generally depend on U.S. product safety tests. The majority of apples grown in Canada are the McIntosh variety, for which Alar use is particu.larly attractive. Thus the percentage use of Alar in Canada may surpass that in the U.S. market, As ye&there has been little public lobbying against Alar in Canada, but some stores do restrict their purchasing to the local growers. Because there areno important restrictions, it is difficult .to ensure that no imported apples have been sprayed with the chemical. In the end, it is up to you as the consumer to establish, with what few facts you can obtain, the standards you want for the products you consume. Courtesy

To the editor, I would like to respond to David Thomson’s article, entitled “Government mistakes breeding apathy,” which appeared in last Thursday’s Imprint. Mr. Thomson, in his article, finds it within himself to compare the C$nadians who voted in the last federal election “to followers of someone 45-50 years ago in Germany.” I don’t claim to know everything there is to know about the Free Trade Agreement, the catalyst inspirini Mr. Thomson’s metaphorical gem, but I take serious offence to this comparison. Mr, Thomson, if you cannot see the idiocy and insensitivity inherent in paralleling the actions of Brian Mulroney to those of history’s most infamous madman, I hope inadvertently, accomplishing through your inane comparison, then I don’t knoti if I should waste my time rebutting your claims. Also, I do not appreciate being considered one of a group of people who “could no longer think for themselves and blindly cheered and voted away Canada.” Contrary to what some of my professors may say, I can think for myself. My reasons for voting for the FTA had absolutely nothing to do with Brian Mulroney, and ’ arose out of what I believe is best for Canada’s economy, one that has flourished in recent years due in large part to trade surpluses in many of its important business sectors. I don’t believe I acted blindly in supporting a trade agreement that proposes to lower, not eliminate trade restrictions at a rate slower that that suggested by Canada and the United States’ previous General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
Actually, one of the reasons I did not vote for the Liberal Party, and therefore against the FTA, during the last election was because of John Turner, who you claim “did quite a decent job of attacking it.” If John Turner did in fact do a good job of attacking free trade, why did the deal come to pass? Perhaps it is because what you call “a decent job of attacking” was merely an annoying repetition of meaningless catch-phrases relying solely on emotional

As users of the C.I.B.C. Instant Tellers are aware, the machines in the basement of the Campus Centre took on a new look at the beginning of February. The change was purely cosmetic, and more than likely welcomed by most of the users of the machines, including myself. I stand only 4’ 4,5’* tall. The earlier machines were just withinmy reach, so I never bothered complaining about them. When the new design was implemented, it was impossible for me to reach the machines without the use of a reaching aid. It was both uncomfortable and embarrassing to continue using the machines. I immediately contacted the Ombudsperson, Mat t Erickson, and he put me in contact with Florence Tomlinson, the disabled students representative. I realized this was not my only problem. Not only were students in wheelchairs restricted from using the new machines, they

As such, it is our respon,sibility to represent the opinions and concerns of UWO students. On’e such- concerq-at present is Philippe Rushton. Students at the UWO are unhappy with the image Western now holds as a result of the Rushton affair. The university administration seems to have lost sight of the idea of academic responsibility in th6ir concern with the idea of academic freedom. Academic freedom is of crucial importance to any scholarly atmosphere; yet, there are also attendant responsibilities. While the USC suppo’rts the rights of professors and students to pursue their academic inter-
’ ’ THEv~O~p~ET~..
est, it alsd encourages, them to accept responsibility for the ramifications of their research. Rushton has not yet been called to account for his’actions. The USC sees this as a failing on the part of the administration. It is unfortunate thlat the actions of one individual have been allowed to tarnish the reputation of over 22,000. The purpose of this letter is to make clear the position of the U.K. The USC does not, in any way, support or endorse the theories of Philippe Rushton, The USC has called for an investigation into Philippe Rushton’s bcholarly activities; it would also like to see the .administration encourage and support such an investigation. Finally, the USC would like to make clear that we are deeply disturbed with the current perception of the UWO. Students at Western are extremely concerned .with the implications of academic racism; yet, the allegations of racism do not describe the student body as a whole. We at Western hold our heads -high and are proud of our aca.demic tradition. While we are ’ dissatisfied with the adminis; tration’s handling of the public relations of ,the Rushton affair, we are not dissatisfied with the institution of Western.

-THE, .REAL .SDI 1 by Dave Stampa, Special to Imprint Last week’s feature revealed the political and strategic flaws in the Strategic Defense Initiative [SIN), popularly known as “Star Wars.” This week, the conclusion of the feature looks at the “nutp and bolts” side of SIX, considering technological limits to its effectiveness. To be a true “peace shield,++ the SD1 defense system would have to destroy at least 90 per cent of incoming missiles, Even if this could be achieved, it would still mean hundreds o’f nuclear warheads could leak through, It is estimated that less than 200 warheads could reduce the United States to the level of a third-world country.
To be a true “peace shield”, SD1 would have to’ destroy Over SO% of incoming missiles. Ninety second8after a Soviet launch up to EOO,OOO objects could be in orbit to
&&nd defenses would have to depend on less expensive+ more numerous weapons such as anti-ballistic missiles (ABMs]. Each ABM launch site can protect only a small area, because the ABMs must regch their targets quickly. They are also impractical for defending cities, as the warhead could be detonated at high altitudes where it is safer from ABM attack. Though cities would not be safe, military targets such, as missile silos are built to survive such near-misses. This makes strategii: defense of military targets more practical, but is small comfort to the rest of us! Military ABM defense is not ne& systems were tested in 1968 by both thti United States and the Soviet Union. There is still a small system in place near Moscow, The U.S, decided not to keep the one system it was permitted under the ABM treaty of 1972.
Even given a powerful enough, laser, mhsiles can be made thousands -of times- moire laser-resistant than at present. This could be as simple as spinning the rocket around on its axis, So that no single spot is heated for too long. The missile could be given a mirror finish to reflect most of the laser light+“.or coated with a substance that would boil away,, much like the re-entry shields on @ace capsules. Particle-beam weapons share many oft the problems of lasers. The other con. tender, the X-ray laser, is based on a modified nuclear bomb. Placing nuclear devices in space would open the door to orbiting “bomb platforms” and other strategic nightmares, and it can be hoped-that neither side is irresponsible enough to open the door to that. ’ To solve power and weight problems+ the lasers could be placed on the ground, and the beams bounced from mirrors to
shoot down. At launch, a nuclear missile is highly visible from space, and is the most vulnerable. The booster burns out in about 12O,seconds, and new Soviet missiles might reduce that to less than a minute. That doesn’t leave enough time to destroy more than a few missiles with each defensive weapon. It must take at least 1 second to aim at a new target, and the aim must be held for more than 5 seconds to cause damage. If enough missiles are launched at one time, a larger part of the wave of rockets can pass while the lasers or other defensive weaponry are otherwise engaged. The Soviets currently have over 1,500 launchers+ and one of their first responses to a SD1 system would probably be to increase this to 10,000, That means up to 2,000 boosters might escape the first defensive layer. Current ICBM’s carry from 3 to 15 nuclear warhebds per booster, each of which is sent,to a separate target, The booster can also carry liundreds of silvered decoy balloons, indistinguishable froxp the real warheads while in space. That means there may be as many as 500,000 objects in flight at once, less than 1 pe\r cent of which are real nuclear warheads.
Military ABM is not new: both the U.S:knd the U.S.S.R. had systems in 1068 based on land. Space based SD1 equipment is highly 1 vulnerable to attack. There are methods to distinguish warheads from decoys, but these take time. In the 20 minutes available, only a fraction of the warheads can be unmasked. Even if ti warhead is detected at this pain%, it is much harder to destroy it with lasers or other weapons than the booster that launched it. It would also be hard to tell if any damage was being done to it by the laser, unless it happened to dhtonate. (It might be an advantage to have a warhead explode, as it could blind the defense system’s sensors.) An easier way to separate the decoys ‘, from the warheads is to wait until they re-enter the atmosphere, as the drag of the air quickly srlows the light decoys. At this point, however+ the nuclear warheads are -less than 90 Seconds from their targets. Space-based defenses become much less useful now, and the re- .

A “space mine” (an explosive satellite loaded with shrapnel] next to each SD1 orbiter could eliminate it on command, It could be programed to go off if tampered with or moved. An even more destructive device consists of a canister of ball bearings in an orbit close to that of the target, but in an opposing direction. When activated, the balls are shot into the path of the target satellite, resulting in a high-speed collision that can punch through Is-inch armor plate. AS mentioned earlier, missiles can be modified to increase their chance of survival. The cost of this would be far lower than that of the SD1 system. Estimates of the cost of an SD1 dqfensp system range from $200 billion to over $20 trillion.

For reasons of speed, space-&ed* missile defenses depend on weapons that act at a distance such as lasers or particle beam accelerators.

This feat would have to take place in less than 1 second+ and must be repeated’every 5 seconds for at least 100 seconds. At least 500 mirrors would be needed to handle only Lb00 missiles, since 85 per cent of the mirrors are below the horizon.at any given time. Fewer mirrors are needed if they are in geosynch-
Compared to the cost of the U.S. system, the Soviets would get what amounts to a bargain. Assuming they add another 9,000 missiles with hardened and armored boasterg, faster engines, atid decoying equi ment at about $4 million each, or $36 1 illion in total, their response would cost less than 10 per cent of what the U.S. had spent in the first place. Any feasible SD1 system faces technological robiems that would cause unaccepta ii le leakage of nuclear missiles. It is highly vulnerable to attack, apd could be rendered ineffective at a far lower cost to the Soviets than what the Americans would have to pay for it. .
EPILOGUE With the retirement of President Reagan, the Star Wars idea of making nuclear weapons “impotent and obsolete” has finally been accepted 88 fantasy. But SD1 is not dead. The Pentagon, and the military-aerospace,
Lobby,
are ded-
aping a ABM-based SDI system which could eliminate‘less than 50 per cent of incomiti missiles. This “f imited” SD1 makes no pretensions of prot’ecting opulations: it is wholly military. Rat Rer than possibly losing hundreds of billions of dollars in funding, the Pentagon has dropped the “peace shield” mask of SDI. It is no more ethical thanany other weapons system.

LOU katnst6 by Derek weiler . xmprint stuff Truth to tell, I wasn’t all that pumped for this concert; I’ve seen Lou before, New York isn’t the masterpiece it’s been h ped as, and I had my doubts a%out him playing within the classy confines of Roy Thomson Hall. The Feelies did little to assuage these doubts; their opening set featured some rockin’ covers [of Patti Smith’s Dancing Barefoot and The Doors’ Take It As It Comes) but on the whole was a tad mediocre. . Then Reed took the stage with his three-piece backing band and announced they’d be essentially running through the New York
these songs play off each other to form a unified, consistent whole. The first set was a song cycle performed. live. . Of course, Reed’s ace backup band didn’t hurt things. Special mention goes to bassist Rob Wasserman, who played his electric bass as if it were an upright acoustic [and even played it with a bow as if it were a cello on occasion). Unsung guitar hero Mike Rathke also turned in a spectacular performailce. Reed, though, was the star of the show. This was most evident in the middle of the first set, with an absolutely transcendental rendition of Last Great American Whale. Reed performed this

One standout was a duet between Reed and Wasserman of a _. Frank Sinatra tune [I).

Another striking feature abput this record is its sheer simplicity. The recording is stripped down to the bare necessities: no speciaL effects, no ’ keyboards, and no fancy production.

The album’s first track, Return to Yesterday, was a hit single in Britain, and rightly so. It comprises all that’s good about this band. It has thoughtful, witty words with a spunky acoustic melody, and a really catch chorus: We% face this England Pike we always have / In a fury of denial / We’ll go out dancing on the tiles. Unfortunately, there’s precious little ‘of the same on the rest of the record. The only other exception to blandness present here is And The Ships Sail On, a melancholy little ditty. The rest of the album starts to sound lyrically trite and musically spare, I mean,.acoustic minimalism is great when you’ve got some user ful words to go along with it. But, side two’s Too Sooner Late Than Better is an example of Duffy forgetting this with lyrics like: If I was a paint brush ! And you were my turpentine / Would your kisses taste like wine /And would your tiorries still be mine?
An instrumental gem called Trumpets From Montparnasse closes the album, The main harmony is played on a banjo, with some interesting bass and a violin joining in. Overall, The Lilac Time makes for nice background music, but lyrics that habitually strain metaphors too far.

Time to usher another smalltime record company into the ranks of the great independent labels. Get Hip fir$t hit Canadian e&rs with Oshawa-based Star Records’ licensing of ,The Cynics’ second album, Twelve Flights Up, a fine screamer in its own right, but if anyone needs more proof that Get Hip is putting out as good a selection of . garage mayhem as anyone in North America today, check out this handful of releases, If The Bangles spent all their time watching Living Dead spinoffs, they might-have come out something like The Rrood(fc,t, of the toughest broads ever ttf pound kniv es into Farfisa INgans, crank the ‘fuzzboxes past eleven, and give your .parents nightmares.

I’ve heard

The Mystic Eyes are closer to the po end of the garage spectrum, _i aving more in common with the semi-acoustic and R&Bderived 60’s rock of the likes of Count Five and The Chocolate Watchband than the over-thetop distortion of the current Deelaration of Fuzz generation. But what they lack of The Brood’s intensity, thay make up for in finely crafted songs and finely rendered covers *- maybe a legacy of their name, cogped from one of Van Morris;qmrS earliest hits, If you judged -a r&d ‘b its cover, you’d be inclined to t 31ink that The Heretics was just another godawful Accept, Seduce, or Wasp album mired in Norse iconography. But The Werstics are a raging storm of Husker Du guitars and terse, gruff singing lending caustic overtones to strong shooks, intense and catchy with no threat of accusations of overproduction. Finally, The Pieasureheads are a late addition to the Get Hip stable, having released an album and a spate of bracing singles via the European indie network. Song For God ranks with their best, reminiscent of vinta e X, taking an infectious wa f king bass line and breaking into-a full gallop with it and adding- just enough guitar noise to keep the grungers happy. So, let’s see - we’ll give The Brood .and The Heretics a solid four each,, The Mystic Eyes a three ahd a half, and The Pleasureheads a scintillating four and a half, giving us an average of four, meaning something like Get Hip is worth 80 per cent of your disposable income. ,

by Cathy kolgr Imprint staff The Simple Minds have finally decided to release some new material. Their latest effort, an EP entitled Ballad of the Streets, is a three-song social statement on Northern Ireland and South Africa. Simple Minds have jumped on the bandwagon of socially conscious musicians with this latest effort. Howeve.r, the, album seems a bit too contrived. It almost seems as if they said ‘*Hey guys, we can make money and look good by singing about ime portant ssues.” Well, I’m not so sure they’re doing either. The first song, Belfast Child is rather insipid. Kerr sounds suspiciously Irish, like his buddy Bono. It goes absolutely nowhere for the first three-quarters of the song and by the time it starts to catch your attention, it’s over. Their cover of Peter Gabriel’s Biko is &I% ,worse. They’ve ruined a great s’bng. Enough said,

place of the doll and fools everybody, setting boy straight in the process. The part of the girl, Swanilda, is played by Mireille Favarel, , who did some superb dancing as . the doll. Her movements were convincingly stiff-limbed and mechanical - most of t hein executed with a flexed foot, which is not easy on some of the leg lifts and kicks she did. For someone used to dancing on her toes, Favarel did very well as a flexfooted doll. Furthertiore, her transitions from doll into human were admirably smooth. In her role as the young human Swanilda, Favarel shone. Her pantomime ,was live1 and expressive, conveying al Pthe information the audience needed to follow the story. Pascal Minam Borier as Dr. Coppelius also did some good pantomime, but he t I
mance - especially in Act II. Swanilda and friends enter Dr. Cpppelius’ house and descend into the basement where lifesized dolls hang from the ceiling and artificial limbs stick out of * storage trunks. A pretty freaky place. And to top it all off, fog comes floating out from the stage, adding to the visual effects, but leaving a lingering, un- pleasant burning odour. The choreography was good all the way through: in parts of the Mazurka in Act I and the doll dancing in Act II it was even superb, The maypole in Act IIf lent itself to some nice effects, but nothing spectacular. Swanilda’s fiance, played by Yves Bouteiller, did his job up there on the stage, but he didn t sparkle. Favarel’s energet.ics were magnified in comparison,,.

The programme for the Ballet du Nord’s production of Coppelia at The Centre in the Square notes that “of all classical ballets still performed in the late 20th century, Coppelia is indeed the most human of them all. No fairies or enchanted princesses here but characters made of flesh and blood.” Even the doll crafted by Dr. Coppelius, though mechanical in theory, is played by a flesh-and-blood dancer. Not only iB the ballet human in its portrayal of human foibles and fickle obsession with perfection, it is fun, The costumes are colourful, the music is lively, and the caricatured Dr. Coppelius, Burgermeister and priest are funny characters. And the plot itself is humorous. Boy and girl engaged to be married, but boy has roving eye. Mad scientist obsessed with creating perfect woman constructs beautiful doll and tries to _ make her come to life. His attempts at the latter attract boy, who thinks doll is a tantalizing detour possibility. Well, girl has beauty and brains, She takes the

Andy - talks to NoMeansNo - They respond by Andy Koch Imprint staff
Hot on the heels of their explosive new album/ CD, NoMeansNo are romping their way through a Canadian tour which brought them to Phil’s Grandson’s Place on March 22nd. This Canadian tour is a prelude to a European venture which will see the Victoria B.C. trio playing 51 shows ‘in 58 days, including dates in Poland, Hungary, Yugoslavia, and East Germany. Things are indeed going well for NoMeensNo, and they chatted about the state of things after the show at Phil’s, NoMeansNo is made up of axe-slinger Andy Kerr, plus the Wright brothers Rob and John, on bass and drums . respectively. All three sing. This year’s Small Farte ISOlatsd and Dqatroyed is the band’s fifth 12” release and the third on the San Francisco based Alternative Tentacles label. When asked about impending success, the band members have mixed views. “Someone, somewhere is buying our records,” quips Andy. John elaborates: “We’re definitely more popular now then we’ve ever been, We’ve been touring and touring, and it’s finally starting to pay off now; we’re getting more and more people out to our shows. When you come to see a NoMeansNo show you’re coming to see us, not your next hot speed metal, or hot rock’n’roll band. We’re just ourselves, so we have to develop our own audience accordingly.” Despite prosperous times, NoMeansNo are not getting ahead of themselves, “We don’t wama be on a major label,” assures

they made $1,500. Andy, Rob, and John also have a lot to say about their lyrics. They seem to be constantly trying to justify the dark, evil tone of their lyrics, and last week’s interview was no exception. Andy begins, “We could sing about things that make us happy. But it seems to come to us naturally to sing about things that others aren’t singing about.” John: “ (We’re not] singing about fantasy scenarios, We tend to look at things point blank: the wajt it appears. [The lyrics) deal with the ugly side of things cuz that’s what people shy away from, If something pisses us off, we wanna sing about it. People say you’re always singing such, depressing songs,’ but there’s really a grain of optimism in there because it’s more like fighting these things. It’s not glorifying them at all.” Musically, the NoMeansNo is even more challenging. The fun begins when you try to fit them into a slot. The band has coined itself “one block from rock,” and then theri’s the old tongae-twister, “high-volume, minimalist+ post-punk, art, funk, jazz, rock, fusion,” But for all you underground star wannabes, Andy Kerr reveals NoMeansNo’s secret, “Take your old Black Sabbath albums like Master of Reality. Take a riff like that, apeed it up, put distortion on the bass, get a real hot drummer that plays something sort of funky with it. Sing about sex, death, or lying. Then, put an ugly cover on your record,* You a-..NoMeansNo . .- have .. record right therel” Enough said,

Ballard remains true to his obsessions planting the seeds of a cola-rettal time bomb,’ which, if I read Ballard right, has yet to blare its part in the apocalyptic chorus of the twentieth century. Ballard then, extracts the fantasy from everyday life while painfully searching for the reality - the flesh to animate his fiction with. His latest novella, Running Wild sollapses the social turmoil of an earlier work High Rise, and from the rubble collects the ingredients for insanity.

CKCO’s Onstage made it back to Fed Hall two Wednesdays ago for a live taping of Toronto bands Candi and Roman Gray. Also appearing for two songs was co-host Madonna Tassi, a K-W native. Reviewing an Onstage show in terms of concert criteria is not very fair. They are, for the most part, taped. I was critical of this approach until I was illuminated by producer Peter Kent. and the sound man [who also claimed to be Peter Kent). Apparently, live sound is possible if you have the time for set up. The difficulty lies in mixing sound for the live audience as well as the televi-
sion taping
(there was a third one in there but I’m a technical dunderhead so I didn’t understand what the hell they were talking about). Anyway, I was promised that for larger name acts, they will put in the time required to remove the tape for pre-taped shows. For this week, to appease the audience, Roman Gray put in an hour live set before doing a synched set for the television audience. Their live set was OK, the lead singer doing an appropriately hip imitation of a rock star fitting I guess for a band that had a song go straight to number one on the charts in Milan way back in ‘84 (Look Me In The Eyes). After an intermission, and a
brief performance Tassi,- came the

star attraction, Candi. Most of the show was taped, although her vocals and the bass were live. The drummer was playing the keyboards (taped) since the real keyboardist was studying for exams. There wasn’t a drummer; I guess that’s not important for a TV program, Lead singer Candi has a good voice, although the music itself is less than palatable. I believe that it would also be safe to suggest that she should invest in a new dance instructor before she takes her show on tour. The Imprint table loved her, sending intrepid groupie and staff photographer Rehage on a mission to get six autographs.

Members of the University of Waterloo’s varsity team8 gathered together at the Waterloo Inn on Wednesday, &larch 22 to honour their best athletes at the 28th annual athletic awards banquet. The occasion officially ended another successful year in Athena and Warrior sports. The Dean of Women’s Award, which honoura the most outstqnding female athlete of the year, went to Athena soccer team fourth-year veteran Linda Hartjes. Team captain for the last four years, she was also presented with the Moat Valuable Player Award for the third year in a row, and a plaque for being an outstanding graduating senior, The Totzke Trophy, given to Waterloo’s most outstanding male athlete of the year, was shared by War$or basketball’ sensation Tom Schneider and football star Dave Shaw. In his fifth and final season, Schneider, playing with a chronic knee injury, managed to finish in the top seven of every statistical category in Warrior basketball history. Ranked third in the country this year in average points per game, he obtain&d first team OUAA all-star and all-Canadian status, leading the Warriors to the West division semi-finals. He was also awarded with the team MVP award. La’tided as one of the best inside linebackers in Waterloo history, Shaw completed a very successful four-year career in Warrior football this year as corecipient of the Totkze Trophy. He also accepted an outstanding. graduate award. . AB team captain, Shaw was named as an OUAA first team all-star in 1986, 1987, and 1988, and a CIAU second team allCanadian in 1987 and 1988. Shaw received further honours in 1985 as Rookie-of-the-Year and in 1986 as MVP for his football achievements. He was recently drafted in the seventh round by the B.C. Lions, While trying to announce this year’s recipient of the distinguished Im rint Coach of the Year Awar s to Warrior volleyball skipper Rob Atkinson, Imprint assist&t sports editor Glenn Hatier’s voice cracked
slipping into a pitch that was almost high enough to break glass. This immediately put the 408 plus crowd into hysterics. Under Atkinson’s fine leader- . ship, the volleyball team finished with a flawless 12-O record in league play to place first in the OUAA.

I turned my future to school and wanted to get an education and also play at a high level.“ The Warriors finished the ‘8687 season in third place and were a previously unfathomable seventh ranked in Canada. Bishop was honoured as the major force behind this resurgence when he was chosen as CIAU rookie-ofthe-year. But in the playoffs that season,. Waterloo started a trend which Bishop and his teammates would prob,ably rather forget. In ‘@~-BY and the two following playoff seasons, the Warriors, despite their excellent regular schedules, bowed out quietly in the first round. The Laurier Golden Hawks took two oontroversy-ridden games in Bishop‘s rookie campaign, and the following year, the Mustangs spoiled U\r(rs ~4-6~ 6 season with two quick playoff wins. In that ‘87-88 season, Bishop took more accolades with OUAA MVP honours, was an OUAA all-star and took his first all-Canadian selection.

Coach of th.e yew calls. it quits by Ghnn Hauer Imprint staff

victories over Toronto and Western, Waterloo was back on track, They needed more victories over top ranked teams to have a sure-fire chance of making the CIAUs. The volleyball program went a few dollars over budget this year, all because of Atkinson’s desire to get his squad to Calg*i, Their next trip was to Quebec City to play against the then sixth and eighth ranked Lava1 and Sherbrooke, respectively. This trip exceeded all expectations. The boisterous, Quebec crowds watched in fascination as both Sherbrooke and Lava1 went down in defeat. Indeed, Lava1 lost twice to Waterloo, something very rare in their -gymnasium. Always tough at home, the.Rouge et Or had never been beaten twice consecutively in front of a Quebec crowd.

With four candidates this sea. son, all worthy and qualified, it was a decision that caused a couple of headaches. Rob Atkinson of thewarrior volleyball program was chosen as the Co&h of the Year. Not only did he take his team to the CIAU championships in Calgary, he did it after his team was unranked at the end of January. Unfortunately, it was learned Wednesday that Atkinson quit his position as volleyball coach and will not be returning to Waterloo next season. December and January of this season was disheartening for Atkinson. The Warrior volleyball team was playing horribly, sinking to a deep low in the Winnipeg Invitational, finishing fifth out of five teams. They even lost to Western, a team they had beaten several times quite hand-

The Warrior volleyball coach was not the only excellent *‘teacher of the game” at Waterloo. Chico Silvestri, the women’s squash coach, has attracted a load of talent to this university, resulting in an OWIAA championship banner, Some people say the coaching of an individual sport is not the same as the molding of personalities and talents that a team coach must do. Nevertheless, good individual players do not play for bad coaches. Silvestri certainly deserves recognition. The other two candidates for Coach ‘of the Year were Brian Quistberg and Don McCrae. Quistberg, t who heads up the rugby program, turned an O-7 record into a 7-O perfect season, and finally a berth in the OUAA championship game against a powerful Queen’s team.

McCrae, of course, is always a candidate. No matter what he has on his bench, the Warrior’ basketball team is always in contention.

Diiios waltz to national title by Glenn Hauer Imprint staff It was a dream ending dream season for the Calgary
to a Di-
nosaurs. Playing before a crowd of 3,118 at the Jack Simpson gymnasium in ‘Calgary, the Dinas cap ed their 36-2 season with a go Pd medal at the CIAU volleyball championships. Ranked number one all year long, Calgary waltzed through the tournament, playing in a league above the rest. Their level of play increased exponentially throughout the weekend. After losing the first game of the touri:rktnt 1,745 to the scrappy Dglousle Tigers, they never looked Calgary took the next three games to advance to the semi-final against Waterloo. The Warriors came into the match on a high, as they had made it there by coming from behind a 2-0 deficit against UBC to win in five games. However, the wag Calgary was playing, an upset was out of the uestion. With setter Kelly Gros lc y often using a three or four-man attack, the Waterloo blockers had serious problems deciding who to go up against. In addition, the attack was incredibly quick, pushing any defense to its limit. Calgary won in three straight, obtaining a birth in the final. Meanwhile, second ranked Manitoba was up against the stingy defense of Sherbrooke in the first round. The Vert ,et Or were digging up anything near the - floor in -the first game of the match, taking it 15-12.
Nevertheless, the size of the Manitoba Bisons eventually won out. With four starters at 8’7”, one at 8’8”, and the shortest at W’, but with a 45-inch vertical jump, one could say that they were huge. The Bison block is a formidable part of their offense. Sherbrooke went down 3-1 to> the Bisons. Third ranked York was next for Manitoba. What promised to be one of the toughest matches proved to be a disappointment. The Yeomen did not come to play, with one notable-exception. Ignored in the all-Canadian selections, even as an Honourable Mention, Jacob Witorek played like a man possessed. Digging, blocking, and hitting, he kept the Yeomen in the match. York won the second game 159 after a lacklustre defeat in the first. What was to be aManitoba problem in the final came to the fore in this match. Even though the Bisons eventually were victorious, -baffling the York hitters with their blocking, their players were on e&h other to no .end. Russ Paddock, a firs1 team allCanadian for the Bisons, seemed to do more whining than playing. That is exactly what he did in the final against the Dinosaurs. Of course, Calgary ,is a fruatrating team to play, with their relentless pressure. The Djnos were cranked up for the championship game.

B kes the PAC
If you thought you noticed a large number of bikes on campus last Saturday, don’t worry, something was going on. The PAC played host to the annual “‘2~HIP King of Vert” professional feest le bike contest. An annu tl event in the US., it is the first time to ever be held in Canada. It was organized by Kitchener rider/promoter Rob Thring, 22, and was sponsored by Vision Street Wear of California, Over 500 spectators gathered to ‘witness close to 50 pro and amateur riders, from all over the U.S. andcanada perform incredible stunts, on and over a tenfoot - high, skateboard-type, one-half pipe ramp. Substantiat-\ ing the popularity of the event, ESPN, TSN and CFNY wdre on hand to cover the insanity. . The riders blasted lo-foot plus airs into the gymnasium rafters [over 20 feet above the floor) and . -executed countless variations of spins, no harida, no feet maneuvl
sr8 in an effort to be crowned 1989 “King of Vert.” When the dust cleared, and the casualties of gravity were removed from the ramp, IT-yearold pro Matt Hoffman of Oklahoma, grabbed first place and-$1,000 [US,), pulling off the first ever 9001degree spin in competition. In the amateur division, I& year old Gary PoIlick of Pennsylvania icked up first, while Kitchener Pocal, Rick Newman, ,, placed a very respectable sixth the highest of any Canadian corn etitor. A Pter the awards; the infamous “sticker toss” took place. This in itself was wotih the price of admission. Competitor8 stood on t6p of the ramp platforms and. tossed sticker8 into a crowd of 300 kids who then proceeded to trample each other to get a sticker, Might be a fun way to hand out OSAP cheques -next term.
