Once again, post-secondary education and those pursuing it have been ignored by the Ontario provincial budget. The budget, brought down by Treasurer Robert Nixon on May 17, will do nothing to “help ease the desperate situation of post-secondary education in Ontario today,” according to Shelley Potter, Chairperson of the Ontario Fed* eration of Students.. . No stipulations weremade for new capital funding commitments, new accessibility funding, or new student housing. Nor is there any commitment to make up for recent cuts to post-secondary education transfer payments in the recent federal1 budget. Operating grant increases to universitieg and an eight per cent increase to OSAP funding made in April were re-announced, The only new item Nixon had to offer- was a university operating grant formula, the formula by which distribution -of funds to universities is calculated, will be introduced in 1990. “Impacts could be disastrous,” says Potter, because no new money has been offered to universities as incentive to increase enrolment. To the OFS, the pro.vincial budget in no way makes up for the shortfalls of Federd Finance Minister Michael Wilson’s budget. Because universities are lacking inceptive to accept increasing numbers of applicants, they rhay limit enrolment or compensate for underfunding by increasing tuition fees. University enrolment in Ontario has increased by 2Dpef cent since the Liberal government came Co power. ’ . “This budget is a betrayal of university and.college stud+nts in Ontario,” says Potter. “The complete lack of increased accessibility funding is extremely disturbing.,, the $88 million provided in the . 1988 budget will not even cover the ‘enrolment increase of 1987, let alone 1988 and 1989.” Potter feels ill effects of the budget will not be felt until the fall of 1990. Potter also believes universities should be exempt from the new payroll tax. With such a tax, “the governmerit WOI: s’ 5e giving money with one hand and taking it back with the other ”

There were 980 students, including dons, in Village Two. In comparison, Village Ohe ordered a dozen boxks and had eleven boxes left -at the end of term. The turnkeys used to give condoms 40 people who requested them, but they now direct people to the Birth Control Centre. KC coordinator Al Wadley explained the BCC has not widely advertised the fact that they distribute ‘free condoms. “They’re all promotional items; we don’t buy them,” hetold Imprint. “We haven’t been flooded with people (asking for them].., maybe they don’t know we have them.“. .Each term, the BCC has given out about 30 condoms :whichthey receive from various sources. Asked about brand-preference, Wadley said people do not seem to prefer the Trojan-Enz brand, “They report the lubrication used is too gooey and sticky, and they have a strange smell,” says Wadley. Imprint’s reporter examined one and agreed with the verdict. More women than men approach the BCC for condoms, but men win hands down at the vending machines.

What does it all mean? Draw your own conclusions, But keep in mind that if you are a church college resident who wants a condom late at night, you had better be a resident at St. Paul’s. According to Graham Whitelaw, the proctors on each floor give out condomsby leaving them in an envelope on the door. ‘“Students use them a lot here,” he reports. “They’re for emergencies, when they runout. As many women as men use them.” He added that they distributed about $70 - $8O’worth of latex each term [about 130 condoms]. However, neither Renison nor Conrad Grebel gives out condoms to needy students.

lnnu fight for lhnd rights by Derek Hrynyshyn Imprint staff Two members of the Innu nation brought their struggle for self-determination to Cpnrad Grebel College last Friday, May 12, Speaking at Project Ploughshares’ annual consultation, Greg and Peter Penashue told of the Innus’ struggle against military test flights over their homeland, which they call Ntasinan; An air force training base at Goose Bay, Newfoundland, used by NATO member countries to train for low-level flights, has been the scene of protests by members of the Innu, the aboriginal peoples of the region. A slide presentation depicted events of the past seven months, including scenes of some of the 115 arrests that occurred as Innu tried to block the runways at the base. The base is situated on land claimed by the Innu. The presentation revealed the Canadian government will negotiate only six land .claims at a time: they have not yet begun talks with the Innu. A settlement is expected to take 10 to 20 years, the natives say. The Jnnu have never signed a treaty with any Canadian government, and the flight testing goes on without their permission Last month, four Innu tried as representatives of those arrested for blocking the runwayincluding Peter Penashue-were acquitted, The Crown is appealing the acquittal. The Innu claim that low-level flights have caused serious problems 1in their community. Many still spend half the year hunting caribou in the wilderness, and ‘have had to deal with frightened animals and disrupted caribou migration patterns. They say the struggle to stop low-level flights will continue, even though the appeal of the court decision will probably succeed. This means protesters who block the runways will be arrested again, and charges will be laid again. The Innu want the Canadian government to recognize their title to the land and grant their right to self-determination. But the current land claims policy demands the natives first recognize the government’s claim to the land, which is unacceptable to the Innu. Peter Penashue told the audience of Ploughshares delegates that the Innu are fighting not only for peace, but for justice for all people. They are in a desperate situation, he said, and are
trying to take their message to the Canadian people to win support. The natives claim that Canada is being hypocritical: the government is a party to the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which guarantees the right for people with a common heritage to govern themselves. They draw comparisons between themselves and the Palestinian Liberation Organization, saying they are “a nation without land.” Until thirty years ago, the lnnu were living the traditional life they had lived for 9,000 years before contact with European settlers. For them, the natural environment is integral to their way of life and essential to them to create feelings of,dignity and self-worth. Yet the low-level flights over their hunting grounds are having a destructive impact on their lives. The noise level of the flights has been measured at 127 decibals-which is above the human pain threshold. Citing past research, they claim such flights have caused animals to, eat their own young, The effects on Innu children, however, are the most serious, with many of the children now terrified of any aircraft. According to Peter Penashue, the Innu have taken better care of their part of the world than any one else.
The flight testing goes
on without their permission. The flights are part of Canada’s NATO commitment, and the Innu say they take place in Canada because the countries participating (West Germany, Britain and the Netherlands) do not want such training taking place over their own soil. Last year, 7,500 such flights took placemore than twenty on an average day. The flights are at altitudes as low as 50 feet, and at speeds up to 750 mph. The government is soon to an‘nounce a decision on a full-scale training centre at Goose Bay, which would see the number of flights increase to 40,000 yearly, and an increase in size of the base from the 100,000 to 150,000 square kilometres. Since 1975, an estimated $145 billion in such resources as timber and electrical power has been extracted from land claimed by the Innu, says Peter Penashue, despite the fact that the Innu have not signed any

agreements. Canada’s position in the global arena may be affected by events in Northern Labrador, they say. Protests against the expansion of the base have taken place in some European cities, and Peter Penashue sees this as part of a larger change in public opinion. The recent split in opinion within NATO governments is another part of this change, he says. West Germans are pressuring their government to negotiate arms reductions, and he attributes this in part to the success of the Green Party in elections there. Members of the party have visited Ntasinan and support their fight against the NATO governments. The Innu see a pattern in the history of the negotiations between other tribes and the Canadian government: “Every one that has gone through the Land Claims Policy process has been defeated,” says Peter Penashue. He cites the James Bay settlement, which resulted in forestry operations,. and rivers flooded by hydro dams, neither of which the natives agreed to. , “Communities always crumble,” he says, often resulting in high suicide rates, alcoholism, unemployment, health problems, and widespread despair among the people. The Innu have already made many compromises, having been forced to move from the Churchill Falls area when the river there was dammed, and having
Mmrrra
had to accept the logging of the forests that are part of their way of life. For them, the test flights are “the straw that broke the camel’s back”, and Peter Penashue says they will not compromise further. There is a positive side to the struggle, however. Peter Penashue reports some of the Innu who have not felt part of the community are becoming involved in the struggle and are
Asked how they feel about the coverage of the events in the media, Peter Penashue responded it has been “pretty fair... because you can’t expect people to understand why you do things when they are from another culture.” He says they are a small group, “but people will start seeing that it is a human story, *’ Both Greg and Peter Penashue are optimistic about their chances of success. “If the public at large see what’s going on and if they know what’s at stake here, I don’t think they would support it .”

rediscovering their roots. Some who had never taken part in the yearly hunt, which is part of their heritage, are now doing so, thereby regaining a sense of their cultural identity. It is a kind of “liberation” for them, a liberation now threatened-by the test flights. When asked how much the _ lnnu are willing to sacrifice in order to gain control of their lives, the reply was that no amount would be enough. “If you look at the struggles around the world, there is never enough (sacrifice), You just have to continue. Sometimes things happen to make it easier, sometimes not. Through the suffering, the media are interestecl in the story because it’s a human stor’y .”

Board member
Trevor Eyton elected
SkyDome mastermind chairs B. of G. by Doug
Jamieson
SkyDome mastermind J. Trevor Eyton was elected chairman of the board of governors, University of Waterloo, at the April 4 meeting of the board, succeeding J.E. (Jack] Sinclair. A board member since 1981, he served as chairman from 1983 to 1987, leading the successful “Watfund” funding drive. A well known financial leader, he is
president and chief executive officer of Brascan and a director of several other Canadian companies, including General Motors of Canada, Eyton is the driving force behind the construction of Toronto’s newest sports structure, directing the investment from the private sector to the tune of almost $150 niillion of the $400 million plus tab of the Dome. After Dlantinn the idea in then
premier Bill Davis’s head at a party, he was shortly thereafter called on to raise $50 million from private investors. Offering the opportunity to his friends, acquaintances, and peers from the largest of Canadian corporations, he quickly surpassed that initial goal. Now, several years later, 25 corporations have joined the Province of Ontario and the three major breweries in the consortium which owns the Stadium Corp. of Ontario Ltd. With this kind of impetus behind it, the UW board of governors is likely to perform effectively and efficiently under Eyton’s reign.
At that same meeting of the board of governors, Michael Garvey, UW alumnus and a partner of Price Waterhouse, Chartered Accountants, was elected vice-chairman, succeeding D. Peter Allison. Garvey graduated in 1969, qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1972, and received the FCA designation in 1985. He is presently chairman the board of directors of Donwood Institute, director the Canadian Association Adult Education, and chaired several committees the Institute of Chartered

The Finance Committee report included the university budget for 1989-90, The university’s revenues increased by nearly $8 million this year, reaching a total of $149,836,000. Tuition revenues ($24+577,000) were estimated with a 7.5% increase in undergraduate rates and a 9.7% increase in graduate rates. The $14. recovery of costs for marking work reports represented $185,000 of tuition revenue. Overall, tuition revenues increased $1,724,000 from last year. This year’s budget balanced exactly with total estimated operating expenses equalling revenue. Salary expenses increased by 5.3% for faculty, 5.0 to 6.0% for staff and 5,6% for teaching assistants. The balanced budget left $653,000 in the reserve fund. The long-term financial outlook for the university appears grim. For the 1990/91 fiscal year, there will be an approximated $2 million in extraordinary expenses, These include a $I milslion increase in staff salaries
resulting from implementation of pay equity legislation and higher contributions to the pension fund “to keep the plan in safe condition”. Although the budget was passed by Senate, it was not without some lively debate. The main controversy centered on a change to the budget which saw an extra $227,000 from accessibilities funds withheld by the budget committee to help cover expenses, Professor McCourt of the science faculty was concerned money generated by faculties would be. split 2:f with twothirds going to the faculties, and one-third going to the general budget. The money in question was generated primarily by science, arts and environmental studies, and withholding it would penalize these faculties. Professor McCourt suggested the money should come from the reserve fund, which is considerably higher than last year. A motion was passed which noted this concern and will be taken to Board of Governors review of the budget. Dean
Banks,
who
presented
the Finance Committee Report, argued that $200,000 was only a small portion of total revenues. However, Professor McCourt persisted the amount was significant to his faculty. The appeals process was also of some interest last night as it passed second reading, but not
without discussion of several concerns. Chairman of the Academic Appeals Committee Professor McDonald, found himself explaining several aspects of his Student Appeal Policy and Procedures, As it stands, the committee consists of 12 members-six faculty and six students including four undergraduates and two graduate students. Several senators were concerned that equal representation was not necessary and would in fact make the body ineffective as the students would only be committee members for one or two years. Senate student representatives argued it will be vital to have students’ peers on the committee and equal representation between faculty and students is both fair and necessary. A further anxiety was overuse of the appeals process dnce the is implemented. new system Concern was expressed that if a flood of appeals does occur, the members of the committee would be overworked. ‘Professor McDonald defended the choice of 12 members for the committee, saying if it does turn out to be inadequate, more members could be appointed at that time. Although the new policy changes the procedures for student appeals, it does not change the definition of academic offenses in any way.

Promoting
water
Hrynyshyn
Municipalites must take the initiative in the attempt to conserve water, says former Globe and Mail environment reporter Michael Keating. Keating opened Aquonex ‘89, the first Canadian water conservation exhibition, with an address on water and the environment. Held at the Bingeman conference centre May 7 and 8, the exhibition was organized by the regional municipality of Waterloo to promote water conservation. “It’s extremely easy to be dour and glum” about the environment today, but Keating believes the right attitudes are starting to app!ear. The federal and provincial governments are showing signs of concern, but the water supply crisis will not be resolved until the municipal governments become more heavily involved. Keating described the crisis not as a lack of water, but as a lack of inexpensive means of delivering the water available to its destination. We will soon need a pipeline from the Great Lakes to supply consumers in Southern Ontario, he warns. As well, he suggests municipalities increase the wafer cost to the consumer to encourage conservation. Groundwater contamination is also becoming a large and costly problem. Citing acid rain damage to half of the lakes in Eastern Canada, increased cancer risks due to ozone depletion, and unpredicta-
ble economic problems arising from the global climate changes, Keating argued we must change the way we live and work and make business and political decisions. The federal and provincial governments have a role to play here as well, he says. International development policies must became more flexible in order to deal with environmental problems.

Since the greenhouse effect will reduce the supply of water available, he says, the need for conservation measures will increase. But Keating is skeptical of the feasibility of larger projects such as diversion of .water

Midwest through the Great Lakes. Instead, he feels smaller scale, local projec,ts such as the Old Man River and Alameda dams in Western Canada are more likely to solve our problems. According to Keating, an overall strategy should be a simultaneous “two-track approach,” The first track would deal with immediate problems such as the contamination of groundwater from toxic waste dumps, while the second track would work toward sustainable development. This approadh will mean working twice as hard, he said, so that we can “live off the environmental interest and not the capital”. Sustainable development will require changes in business practices, but will not mean an end to business. Rather, business will need to become more efficient and more competitive. Keating cited Japan as an example, as Japanese industry is generally more resource efficient and thus produces goods cheaper than its North American counterpart. To achieve such a sustainable pattern of development, he says governments need to provide leadership, through fljrums such as round table discils-sions with the public and the business community; and n itional task forces. Unfortunately, Keating says, it seems governments do not really understand sustainable development yet, but “the environment is too important to be left to professional environmentalists.”

an extra $14
Hollands
Students returning to campus this spring probably noticed not only higher tuition and co-op fees, but an additional $14. fee to cover the cost of marking work term reports. This new addition to the fee statement is compulsory and non-refundable. It must be paid each time a co-op student registers-regardless of whether he or she has handed in a work report. The $14. is a recovery of expenses which the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities concluded is not an ancillary cost, as co-op fees are. Because work term reports are an academic requirement, they have been ruled a tuition-related expense. The work report fee is just one part of ongoing discussions and a current study about the cost of :o-operative education at Onta*io universities. Robert D. Trunan, UW’s Director of 3perations Analysis, says UW legan discussions in the 1986-87 academic year with the Ontario Council on University Affairs. 9t the time, the extra 400 course ;ectiol?ls required for co-op stulents added $6 million in tea:hing-related expenses to Ivera teaching costs. Truman ;aid such costs make cooperaive education expensive, and hat it requires extra funding. Currently the Ontario governnent provides $20 million for hree bilingual universities Nhich must offer two sections of nost courses. UW is pushing the XUA to view co-operative edu:ation in the same wav.
The fee in question is approved by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities on an interim basis. It is a way for UW to cover marking expenses while the OCUA completes its study of the additional costs of providing co-operative education, The $14. fee was calculated according to Ministry of Colleges and Universities guidelines, and involves dividing the total number of work-term reports graded by faculty in a year by fhe total nuniber of students in co-op. With 45 minutes allocated for each report, the fee covers the salary of the extra 1.66 faculty members who would be needed if existing faculty did not grade reports. When asked if the work report fee is the first of many future expenses to be paid for by students, Truman said it was unlikely that other fees of this nature would arise. The work report fee is not “the first step’in the door”. The Federation of Students in: itially appealed to the Board of Governors to reject this fee increase, in effect since May 1. Tim ,Collins, VP (Qperations and Finance), said some students paying the fee this term seemed confused about it. He added that although the fee is unpopular with the Federation, it does have a good side, The university is faced with underfunding and because this is a tuition fee and not a co-op fee, it can be matched by government funding. Collins concluded that ‘Ino increase makes us happy but we want to maintain the high level of cokorr education.”

COMMENT
Celebration? The other day, someone from the Federation of Students called me 1 up and asked me if “anything special” was happening on campus this weekend. Apparently she had a Kitchener-Waterloo Record reporter on the other line, who was checking up on the campus wee.kend scene, I thought about it for a minute, and replied I wasn’t aware of “anything special” going on. Later it dawned on me that this was the Victoria Day weekend, and maybe the reporter thought the holiday might warrant something special happening on campus. The Victoria Day holiday no longer warrants much though; most people’don’t seem to think any more of it than that it is one of the summer long weekends. Curious about its lack of significance, I did a little research into the holiday. As YOU probably know, at the very least, Victoria Day celebrates the birthday of Queen Victoria, who was the queen of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 to 1901. Her reign was the longest in British history, and during it she rebuilt the British commonwealth’s respect for the monarchy. Her birthday, May 24, 1819, was declared a holiday by the united Canadas in 1845. Until 1952 it was always observed on May 24; after that it was changed so it would fall on the first Monday preceding May 25. Thus we always have a long weekend. Celebrating the birth of a monarch is intended to show reverence and loyalty for the British Empire. As you well know, we have become more and more distant from Britain over the years. Now that the constitution has been brought back to Canada in 1981, as one of Trudeau’s last political moves, the break seems complete. According to the Canadiana encyclopedia, “observance of the birthday of Queen Elizabeth II,has been combined with Victoria Day.” It has? That just sounds like a convenient add-on to a well-established holiday-like taking a pagan holiday and making it into a celebration of Christ’s birth. The only prominent Victoria Day celebration left seems to be fireworks displays. When I was in public school, I remember being able to choose between the different neighbourhood fireworks shows I wanted to attend, Now I don’t even know of one, though undaubtedly there are some somewhere in the city this Monday. UW must have had them at one time, or was expecd to, because4 before the Canada Day celebrations started here five years ago, the only time the campus had a permit for a fireworks display was Victoria Day. Today Victoria Day provides us with a convenient time to open cottages up for the season, catch up on spring cleaning, and celebrate the start of summer. The statue of Queen Victoria in Victoria Park reads “Victoria, Queen, Em.press, a model wife and mother, beloved, admired, revered. She shall live in the hearts of her people.” Well, maybe. She has given us one lasting thing though-a forever fixed long weekend. just another something to think about while you are out drinking beer and relaxing in the sunshine. Flew

Thomson’s
world report:
Government Greetings to all readers who are in touch with reality and remain somewhat baffled by A: Much of recent worldly PVY :*’ warrant some co_mment S 1 thought I’d do it. The most recent and prominent example of a government showing its lack of intelligence was demonstrated by the invasion of Panama by American troops, Sure, the United States of Armaments is a superpower’ but what a ridiculous thing to do. Mind your own business. At fhe time of writing this, there were 1800 American troops in Panama to “protect the American citizens” residing there. That excuse is as lame as those claiming the election wasn’t rigged, which brings me to another point.r All elections are rigged in one way or the other. In the so-called civilized Western world, aspiring candidates promise to deliver the voters to Utopia and beyond, if elected. The vptersas from the beginning of timebelieve one of them, who is elected. That person immediately starts thinking up reasons why he can’t deliver on the promises made the day before. General Noriega is simply attempting to streamline this process, based on his assumption that he would have won anyway-which is false. ; Moving on, I’d like to comment on the latest budget and related &ents. The entire budget was leaked the night before it was to be read in the House of Clowns. So what? Another example of Mulroney’s government screwing up. The opposition whined and screamed about precedents and tradition, demanding Mike Wilson’s resignation. The line of reasoning behind this was that the Minister of Finance, irrespective of who leaked the budget, was ultimately responsible for every person’s activities in each step of preparing the budget. Following this train of thought, the Prime Ministershould Have resigned, as he was responsible .for appointing Mike Wilson, and so on.
intelligence?
Then CBC spent the rest of the evening consulting a multitude f authorities about the leak. c )ne especially memorable queslion directed to Ed Broadbent was “Do you think that the government leaked the budget on purpose?” Ed sort of blinked a couple times, looked momentarily puzzled, trying to discern whether or not he had actually been asked such a stupid question on the air, and answered no. As for the affect the budget itself will have, it’s a little tougher than usual, and the government is spending $2.7 million advertising the fact that we have a huge debt. What a way to spend money! I’m glad they didn’t waste it on something silly like OSAP, job creation projects, or cleaning up the environment. Part of the money is paying for a toll-free phone number that flashes on the screen not longer than ‘1 or 2 seconds, to answer any question related to the budget. After they’ve answered your questions, they inform you that they’re conducting a poll and would like to know if you approve of the advertising. What if you don’t? Does this mean they won’t advertise our debt next year? Taxes are up on personal income, alcohol, smokes, gasol.ine, the air you breath, just about anything. Brian “my-fellow-Canadians” has made stunning progress in distributing fhe tax burden. Business contributed to half the government’s tax revenue, while the average Canadians took care of the rest.

South of us, the Americans still refuse to discuss the reduction of short-range nuclear missiles, ins,i-sting that they are needed for deterrence. Wake up! Yotir right to bearing arms only applies to bearing arms within your own country, You can kill yourselves and kill your children, but keep your guns and bombs in your own country.

Clean-up crews of the Exxon disaster still have oil coming out of their ears, but the corporation is “committed” to cleaning up the area, The only directives for concerned environmentalist George Bush and friends was for the people trying to save the seals. They were informed that capturing them without a permit is illegal. George Bush is fhe man who promised he could reduce the deficit without raising taxes. Right. And depletion of the ozone is good because you can get a tan faster. Brian Mulruney visited Bush recently to discuss, as has been discussed for the last twenty years with American presidents, and then Ronald Reagan, the possibility of the Americans reducing their acid rain emissions. Bush and Brian ought to get along quite well, since they both practice the same type of politics. Our P.M. finally got a taste of what he’s treen feeding us for fhe last five years. Unlike his predecessors, Bush actually said something about his commitment to reducing acid rain. Similar to most of Brian’s statements, that was all he said: a vague statement of willingness without making solid commitments. The two men who supposedly have some semblance of control over this continent have turned their jobs into a series of

Story was a
Faith vs. proof?
To the editor, To the editor, I am quite mystified with some Christians who maintain that their “faith... depends on belief without proof,” Indeed, in his letter to the Imprint last Friday, J. Schroeder went on to say, “if the existence of God were proven, Christianity would end, for faith would not be required anymore.” (Imprint, Friday, May , 5, 1989). To supposedly lend credibility to this view, Mr. Schroeder even ,quoted John Henry Newman. First of all, I might suggest that Mr. Schroeder should try reading Newman. For Newman did believe that the existence of God could be proven, and stated that the argument from conscience is “my own chosen proof of that fundamental doctrine [God’s existence] for thirty years past,” (A. J* Boekraad, The Argument from Conscience to the Existence of God according to J H. Newman, Louvain, 1961, p. 121) Secondly, however, Mr. Schroeder presents a more profound problem by assuming that
no evidence exists for the truthfulness of Christianity. Yet, if his belief is based only on this subjective “faith”, then how is he sure that he is encountering God and not (in the words of Scrooge in A Christmas Carol] some “undigested bit of roast beef”? This belief system has little to say to the university student who is looking for answers to ultimate concerns. Gary Dann, M. A. 3rd year Philosophy
Coffee! To the editor. Re: CC Coffee Prices Soar: Not all coffee prices are higher in the Campus Centre. For only 25 cents, you can get a fresh cup ’ of coffee made by the friendly doorstaff at the Bombshelter.

Tamara Flemington 4b Political Science
With regards to the March 31 front page article “Fed Fees to Rise 70 Cents”, I am writing to declare the aforementioned story a tremendous waste of paper. The matter is a triviality and by all means reasonable, considering the * difficulties that would. , . . arise should a compounded larger increase in fees be required in the future. I have the fullest confidence that I will get my 70 cents worth, since as our representatives, the Federation of Students’ leaders must have our best interests in mind, I feel somewhat cheated, however, that Imprint has not discussed a more substantial fee change-namely the “Work Report Marking Fee” of $14.00. This disguised increase in Co-op fees is inexcusably undocumented, with no explanations of its justifications or lack of refundability when no work report is written during a particular term, The lack of student involvement in the creation of this -marking fee should make it no
less subject to media criticism than the Fed fee increase of only 5% in relative magnitude. I fear that there is some possibility that I may have overlooked comments on the work report marking fee in previous Imprints,, but such would be excusable unless the topic had made the front page headlines. Let’s all try to make better use

I(Bless the loonie! To the editor, Well, well, we have got to put up with that big, awkward coin now, the Canadian loonie. I have a story that sums up my feelings about it. Last summer, my mother and I were vacationing in a cottage in the Netherlands. Their two largest coins are equivalent to $3. and $1.50. After a week, mv mother was puzzled as to &her; all her money was disappearing. I looked in her coin purse, and
it was bulging with perhaps a kilogram of coins. I counted them up, and it summed to 70 guilders, or $45. Even though it was a burden, it was a pleasant surprise. When I look in my wallet, and am disappointed to find a one dollar bill, it’s a blessing to find three loonies, so I can see a good movie at the Pr:incess Cinema. Rick Millenaar 2B Hea1th Studies
Nestle boycott is
on again. A consumers’ rights group has accused the Swiss-based Nestle company of breaking its promise to stop the unethical marketing of infant formula in the Third World-A practice which has reportedly contributed to thousands of infan t deaths. 1 he group, Action for Corporate Accountabilhas launched an ‘international boycott against Nestle to pressure the corporation to end its \ iolation of the 1984 agreement to abide by tb World Health 0 rganization’s [WHO) “interndtional code of marketing of breast-milk substitutes.” ity,
VVe are here today to tell (Nestle) that infant health, not corporate profits, will be the public’s bottom line,” Action for Corporate Accountability Executive Director Janice Mantel1 said at a news conference. The WHO code prohibits advertisements for infant milk products in health care facilities, as well as personal gifts to medical professionals. It also urges companies not to provide free or subsidized supplies of breast-milk substitutes to hospitals and maternity wards, i-his method of feeding-which seems to the mother to be easy, free, and recommended by the hospital-becomes anightmare outside (the hospital), where she has to pay for it, and try to find clean water and sanitary conditions in order to prepare it ,I’ said Dr. Roy Brown, a U.S. pediatrician who has worked in over 30 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. According to Dr. Brown, free corporate dis I ibution of baby formula has caused thousands of cases of severe infant malnutrition and diarrhea, also known as “baby bottle disease”. hioreover, James Grant, executive directo: ,~l the U.N. Children’s Fund, (UNICEF) has estimated more than 30.000 infants die worldwide each day from malnutrition, diarrhea+ and other diseases. Grant believes unnecessary infant formula feeding is a major cause of this high mortality rate.
~
It appears breast-feeding best method
all the more tragic, especially when is free, safe, and absolutely the of infant feeding for 95 per cent of
the population. Furthermore, since it is within the abilities of these companies to create a product to aid the nutritional value of mother’s milk, one would think they would apply good business ethics and develop such a product for the customer. Action for Corporate Accountability has been monitoring the practices of Nestle and other international formula companies in forty-two nations. The organization (which is affiliated to the International Baby Food Action Network] said its survey found several corporations have been living Third World hospitals large quantities of Jreast-milk substitutes for free, in violation not only of the WHO code, but of some countries’ n itional laws. Aside from Nestle, several U.S., Japanese, and European firms are engaged in such unscrupu11)~s marketing practices. The worst violators include the U.S. based American Home Products a Id Abbott/Ross companies, and the Japanese Meiji firm. The report’ found in Pakistan, Nestle, Meiji, Abbott/Ross, and other companies provided 20 orlt of 23 hospitals with free infant formula sapplies. In Thailand, Nestle and Bristol-Myers suppied nearly all of the 13 hospitals surveyed with I ree milk substitutes. The report also claimed Nestle gave free supp.ies of formula to private hospitals in Kenya, lriolating a government decree banning the practice. These companies appear to have forgotten it is good business practice to work for their customer interests, and not against them. At such ;imes they require a nudge from the public to nemind them of this sound business practice. You can remind them by boycotting Nestle *roducts (i.e. Nestle Tasters Choice instant cofse, Carnation hot chocolate, Rowntree candy bars,
and

and American

Are you fertile today? DEAR SEXPERT: At what time during a female’s reproductive cycle is it possible for her to get pregnant? ANSWER: During a female’s menstrual cycle there is a 24 hour period (immediately after ovulation) in which a female can become pregnant. However, it is important to realize that this does not mean that there is only one day during the cycle that unprotected intercourse can result in pregnancy. Because sperm can live in the female reproductive system for several days (occasionally up to seven days), it is possible that unprotected intercourse up to one week before ovulation can lead to pregnancy. In order to fully answer your question, I will give a brief description of the reproductive cycle, The first day of the cycle is the day menstruation begins. Approximately 14 days later ovulation occurs (an egg is released from an ovary into a fallopian tube). The egg can only be fertilized by a sperm in the first 24 hours after its release from the ovary. Prior to ovulation the lining of the uterus (endometrium] begins to build up to allow for the implantation of a fertilized egg. If the egg is not fertilized, it will eventually dissolve. Thirteen to fifteen days after ovulation the endometrium (which includes the dissolved egg) begins to break down and the next menstrual cycle begins. If you are sexually active and are not using a method of birth control, you must be extremely careful if you are relying on monitoring the menstrual cycle to prevent a pregnancy. Although the female is only fertile around the time of ovulation, it is difficult to predict exactly when ovulation will occur unless the cycle is very regular. Factors such as stress, lack of sleep or excessive alcohol consumption can also interfere with the reproductive cycle, If you are interested in monitoring fertility, there is a method of doing this known as fertility awareness. This method involves four separate procedures that each indicate changes in the menstrual cycle. The fertility awareness procedures are: monitoring changes in the consistency of cervical mucous, taking the basal body temperature, regularly recording body changes related to the menstrual cycle, and checking the position of the cervix. These procedures must be done daily. Fertility awareness requires commitment and diligence for it to be successful in preventing pregnancy. If you would like to learn more about fertility awareness (the same procedure could also be used to facilitate pregnancy) or other methods of birth

Brown was nominated for the fellowship by UW Professor Mary Gerhardstein. The competition involved writing a personal essay, demonstrating language ability, presentation of transcripts, and an interview. The interview was “relaxed and friendly” but she was asked a trick question about some works of British poet John Milton, which she had never heard of. She admitted the pieces were not familiar to her, and later discovered Milton had never written any such works. Waterloo born, Sylvia Brown at tended Waterloo Collegiate before enrolling at UW, where she maintained excellent scholastic results over the past four years, She also contributed to Online and the English Society’s creative writing contests, Yoga and Tai Chi were among her pastimes. Last summer she worked with the literary magazine New Quarterly Funded by the Ontario Arts Council, it is published on campus, and edited by English faculty. This fall she will will concentrate her studies on medieval and renaissance literature. Her PhD, she hopes, will involve tracing the influences of medieval and renaissance literature on the 19th century English poet and writer William Morris.

’ -TO YOUR HEALTH. a Cycling Safety Tl @$ On Monday, May 8, peace group UW DisARMX staged a demonstration at Diemaco, a Kitchener manufacturer of machine guns and rifles who will be attending ARMX’89. Diemaco is one of the 400 exhibitors displaying their wares to 13,000 “by invitation only” exhibitionguests from 60countries around the world May 23-25 at Ottawa’s Lansdowne Park. Ten UW DisARMX members handed out pamphlets to Die-
mace workers leaving the afternoon shift. Approximately 40 per cent of the workers stopped their cars to accept pamphlets, Once the cars slowed, the group began putting pamphlets under the windshield wipers of the cars in the parking lot. At that point, Diemaco public relations officer June Kirby left the group of onlookers inside the plant and asked the protesters to stop. According to DisARMX member Cindy Long, Kirby told them pamphlets might blow around the parking lot, causing a mess. Long felt, as did other UW DisARMX members, that Kirby was making an excuse to cut down on the number of pamphlets

In press. Interested viewers flocked to the May 11 opening of Professor Sehdev Kumar’s stunning photography and art exhibit. Some of the most magnificent representations of the lotus in world art are depicted in his photographs of Jain temples at Dilwara (1113th century A,D.) and Ranakpur (15th century A.D.) in western India. The exhibit is currently on display in the Modern Languages Art Gallery. The depth and clarity of Kumar’s black and white photography reveals the spectacular detail and complexity of the tem-
ples’ architecture. At Ranakpur, no two pillars are exactly alike. Both Ranakpur and Dilwara are embellished with marble lotus domes and ceilings, some as large as twenty feet in diameter, with stemsof seven feet or mbre. The natural world of animals, birds, rivers, trees and flowers is also an integral part of the iconography and architecture sf. the temples. Professor ‘Kumar’s photograph of a thousand-hooded serpent sculpted in relief, with a dihmeter of eight feet, captures the mhjesty of the reptile and the intricate detail of the sculpture. The exhibit is based on Professor Kumar’s forthcoming book, A Thousand-petalled Lotus: Jain Temples of Rajasthan, Excerpts from this work are dispersed throughout the display, explaining Indian mythology,. Jainism, one of the world’s oldest religions, and the significance of some of the figures. The exhibit also displays tapestries, bronze statues and jewelry, and wooden carvings from mid-19th century

I recently travelled to Toronto to attend an autograph session by Sting. Not Sting the rock stati, but Sting the author. Jungle Stories, the Fight of the Amazon, is an account of his stay with the Kayopo Indians in the Brazilian rain forest. “He is , very concerned” says Edward of Edwards Books, where the session took place. “He risked his life going into the forest and he’s very sincere. Right now the preservation of the rain forest is his life.” Sting is currently on a 14 country tour to increase the awareness of the destruction of the rain forest. “I’m concerned about the world my children will inherit,” says Sting. “If the current trend continues, the lungs of our world will be destroyed.” Sting has arranged for all royalties of Jungle Stories to go to the Rain Forest Foundation, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is concerned about our future, or to anyone who is a fan,

After the all too brief carefree days of my childhood 1 wandered alone, in darkness; searching for something to fill the empty space that 1 felt had grown into my life. Last Saturday, my epic quest for fulfillment took me to the campus’s favorite den of iniquity-the Bombshelter. I didn’t find the solace I crave, but for a few hours I was distracted from the sordid mess that has become my life. But don’t think it was all skittles and beer, nay, the opening act, 39 Steps, took me to the very brink of despair. I’m afraid that loud, leather-clad rock and roil is something I had tried and discarded long ago. Call me crazy but, I’d like to believe that pointless nth generation sub-stooges cock rock is not, the *answer to anyone’s problems. Hpwever, some much needed levity was inadvertently provided during the encore. The portly roadie was onstage, fixing the drum-kit when his pants fell down. Oh, truly an entertainment worthy of Huggy’s Tuesday amateur strip nights. I tried to appease my increasing unease and growing sense of worthlessness in an eating binge 1 of Bombshelter victuals. Friends and acquaintances, sensing my distress, kept my flagon full of potent and seductive draughts. I was just beginning to hear the siren call of oblivion when Thirstrode into the teen Engines squared circle we like to call the Bombshelter stage.

New theatregroup
by Carissa

Every year students involved’ with the University of Waterloo Drama Department prepare themselves for the inevitable journey to Toronto-the selfproclaimed mecca for theatre in Canada. This summer, several aspiring Waterloo theatre students have decided to start their own theatre company.., here. “.Kitchener-Waterloo is one of thk largest metropolitan centres in Canada with no theatre of its own,” says * Darlene Spencer, project coordinator and director of the first production. Establishing the Twin Cities Theatre Company is the rhajor objective of Spencer and her two colleges, Project Coordinators Wendy Farrant, and Marvin Hinz. “We are committed to accessing fhe Canadian market and developing an alternative .theatre that examines social-political issues,” says Farrant, whose duties extend from-administration to stage managing the company’s debut production. Their moods are very optimistic, despite the harsh realities characteristic of the birth of every new theatre in Canada. Hinz, who is also with the com-
forms. -
pany as an actor, is undaunted by the obstacles. “We want to establish Canadian theatre in Kitchener-Waterloo, and be i’nstrumental in defining Canadian culture while making theatre accessible to the studentsand residents of the community. We’re aimi’ng at developing a theatre with a Canadian personality.” Is the community ready for a theatre Iike this? “No, not yet,” but Hinz is quick to assert, “Art is a way of leading change, theatre is a very appropriate vehicle for it,” There is no doubt the founders bf this theatre company are a very versatile group of people.

In addition to two S.E.E.D. grants and one ‘Theatre Ontario grant, they have also received financial support froin the Federatien of Students and the.

And my need for such A release was especially great after suffering through the meaningless rumblings of Sons of Fceeaom at took in an El1 tion at the starring The The MF. T. Experience. [MTX). Kicking off the ‘evening’s festivities was some band called The Rocking Alligators (I think]. These guys’ might have been a decent bar band in 1979. but ten years later their mediocre Jam imitation was barely enough to get some feet tapping. A short while later; Berkeley, California’s Mr. T. Experience stormed the stage and went crazy. Their brand of catchy; Ramones-style punk rock was cranked out with a fervor that their three records only hint at,
MTX are a great deal of fun with songs like Danny Partridge Busted, Surfin’ Cow and The Song About A Girl Who Went Shopping [she bought a Teflon pot and some punk ro;ck reqords;’ by the way). My only complaint is that they didn’t do any goofy covers. Oh well. The Raunch Hands from.New ening fia tough [and the to filter out) they mtiaged to rock hard with an earful of guitar/ bass/ drums! sax. The band was bluesy and fast but the wall of noise effect eventually meant a lack of distinctiveness and thus a lack of excitement. I’ve got a feeling they would have been better on another night with another opening band. Well, I think I’ve earned my free admission so get out to the Apocalypse Club at 750 College and make your ears bleed; you’ll like the feeling.

I learned a lot about myself that fateful night. I discovered how much I can endure, how far I will go for the alL important Truth. For my sins, I was punished: the opening act, Heimlich Manouver, was truly qwful. “One, two, three, here’s an&er Husker Du retread!” All done with such -pathetic, painful sincerity. Maybe I’ll lose my security clearance, but I have to admit I was willing to betray my cotintry and reveal those atomic secrets if only they would stop.. Mercifully, they finished just when I was about to rush the stage-with a naked blade in one hand end righteous anger in the other. After a decent interval, the Sons Of Freedom mounted the stage and played-a song. Now _’ this song was sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes they even stopped it for a minute to talk a little. You’d expect a 90 t minute song to get a/ bit boring.

It had me dancing like a neurologically damaged idiot [big . sur<rise) .” Sons Of Freedom look really strange, Bassist, guitarist and drummer are nice, clean cut, athletic-looking young men, while 4 vocalist Jim Newton resembles Jackie Rogers Jr% in a weirdo Las Vegas leather suit.

Their performance was gritty and spirited and long: in excess of two hours. A few days prior to the shows, I caught DeLorenzo early in the morning before his hotel’s coffee shop was -open. We grabbed some chairs anyway and here is where our story begins: crash, crash, and crash. Victor: What a concept, trying to talk over the din. Imprint: I know everybody has probably asked you this: Why did you call your new album 3? Victor: Well, it was one of the few titles that we could all agree on. It also sets up this idea ihat there could be all sorts of reasons we called it - 3: - there - are three guys in the band; we played three instruments; it is our fourth album, There are all

We talked about other titles like Clear, or we were gonna call it one of the things left over from the last album-I Dare Say He Sold Himself. But it didn’t work out, so we just decided tb go with 3. Imprint: I heard that when you went into the studio, you and Brian (Ritchie) didn’t know the music. Is this just a myth? Victor: Brian and I didn’t know the song’s at all. We met up in Connecticut at this studio called the Carriage House and we just sat down on the floor.

As a matter of fact, the first thing we worked on was Nightmares, which had these wonderful lyrics like “Nightmare, getting back together with you again.” I was thinking: how apropos. So, we worked.,on one song, figured out how we wanted to arrange it and what instru-, ments we wanted to play on it and then started to record it. It was a kind of interesting way to work; either you court disaster or you court getting in touch with the emotion of the thing at a very primary level, so *you don’t get a lot of time to think about it: you gotta react on your feet. Imprint: Did you prefer that to The Blind Leading the Naked? Victor: Well, I think that both systems are fine to work in, but for this record that this was the only way we could do it: we were all coming back together again after being apart for almost three .years, So, it,makes sense that we would catch each other by surprise.

But the nice thing about working with Jerry was that he was the kind of a fellow that has done so many records that he’ll say “OK, if you want to hear it differently, then go ahead and try it.”

Eugene’s album. Imprint: Damn, there goes one of my questions. I was gonna ask if he was touring with you but I guess he is. Peter, are you the only Horn of Dilemma on this tour? Victor: He’s here supplying the mental and physical bruelty .,. Peter: . . . and the bad songs and the worst sax playing that you could imag:ine in the whole world, But I have good friends who help me make my support payments. Sigmund Snopeck is along too. Imprint: Gordon Ganno’s lyrics: do they speak for you as well? Are they only his personal feelings; do they represent the band’s philosophy, or just his? ’ Victor: Well, it’s definitely a personal exclusive view because he writes all the lyrics. Certainly I agree with some things that he says, and there are some things which I don’t feel as strongly about, or tha.t I don’t care about, or that I have a totally opposite viewpoint about. It really varies ‘L from line to line. Imprint: It just seems that Gordon goes from extreme to extreme on your albums. He’ll write and sing about religious piety, .and then turn around on the same recoiding and let lose some misogynous diatribe. .Peter: Gordon just has an ext reme personal vision. Victor: Mind you, also that everything he says isn’t- being delivered by Gordon Ganno the person, He can kind of be hiding behind different people in the course of a song. Or maybe his viewpoint - towards a song is op_ _ posite of what he sings. Peter: But because he writes a lot in first person, it’s hard to tell whether it’s Gordon talking; whetherit’s an imaginary character talking; whether it is one of Gcirdon’s enemietizlking* Victor: Hopefully on the next re-cord he’ll start to talk about the viewpoints of animals. Then we’ll be on to something. Peter: Yeah, my viewpoint.

Another expedition to the heart of the aural control process, on the wings of the psionic Tackhead express. So, I guess we are talking head damage. Keith is drummer and rhythm ace for Adrian Sherwood’s posse of dance floor terror-mongering collectives. Fiction isn’t as dense as his last effort, Major Malfunction, but it packs the sonic walm 0 s t t h a t 1 0 P industrio-electronic body music weenies can only dream of. It’s weird: Stranger Than Fiction doesn’t exactly break new ground-relative to the other Leblanc, Tackhead, Maffia and Fats Comet records-but compared to everything else it
sounds like a garbled transmission from some hellish cyber-future. If you’ve heard the Adrian Sherwood experience, you know what I’m talking about: that familiar mechanical whine, those disjointed sampled voices, that monster beat and that crazy dub style bass. Sure, they’ve been mining this vein for a while but they are such experienced technicians that they know exactly where to uncover the perfect beat. The standout tracks? Well the single, Einstein is pretty boss but my favorite is Taxcider, a wonderful look at the logical conclusion of capitalism-madness. Pain, misery and suffering will be the legacy we leave for our descendants but it’s good to know there will be records like Stranger Than-Fiction to console them. Come to think of it, Keith and his crew will provide precious little consolation. No, I’m afraid the ranting litanies of despair-nuclear proliferation, environmental collapse, the insanity of existence-will only rub salt in our children’s gaping psychic wounds.

thing the Pixies have ever done. With a.nthemic backing vocals and an actual string section, it actually sounds produced.

R.E.M. are selling out arenas, The Replacements are falling into the “sensitive, mature artiste” trap, and Husker Du are long gone. The question burns in everyone’s mind: who will be the new heroes of the American underground? Dinosaur Jr?-too lazy. Sonic Youth?--too self-indulgent. Throwing Muses?--too pretentious, With a promising mini-album [Come On Pilgrim) and one brilliant LP (Surfer Rosa) behind them, and a new distribution deal with Elektra, the Pixies seem poised to claim that title, And sure enough, with their new album Doolittle, the Pixies establish themselves as the most vital, important American band working today. When news of the Elektra deal was accompanied by the announcement that the band would be working with producer Gil Norton [who sweetened up Echo & the Bunnymen a couple years back] it was easy to think the worst. Maybe it really is the end of the world as we know it... Or maybe not. Granted, the leadoff single Monkey Gone to Heaven is the most accessible
The new LP, Doolittle, also has moments of greater pop clarity. Chief among these is the lighthearted romp Here Comes Your Man, enlivened by a playful guitar line and Kim Deal’s sugarysweet backing vocals. In a better world, Here Comes Your Man would be destined for hit-singledom. There’s also a couple of neato surf tunes, Wave of Mutilation and La Lo Love You. And the opening track, Debaser, is simply astonishing: it is the perfect marriage of the franticism and melodicism that make up opposite sides of the Pixies’ coin.

Filling out the album are a handful of “straightforward” Pixies songs, like Number 13 Baby, There Goes My Gun and Tome. Every member of the band truly comes into their own on Doolittle. So take your respective bows: Black Francis (vocals and guitar), Joey Santiago (guitar), Kim Deal (bass and vocals) and David Lovering (drums]. Francis stre,tches his vocal range early on the album; he shrieks and wails oli Debaser and positively croons on Wave of Mutilation. And on Tame he does both, also turning in*some breathy gasps that would turn your stomach [I swear you can just hear the phlegm bubbling at the back of his throat,,, ), Joey Santiago’s guitar work, while not as consistently frenzied as on past Pixies efforts, continues to amaze, His jigged, atonal soloing has been streamlined into more melodic, straightforward (but equally brilliant) guitar lines. David Lovering makes a couple moves towards becoming the .band’s utility player: he sings lead on La La Love You (also
sausage makers can’t be wrong.
Equally outstanding,- though, are the moments of sheer weirdn&s. The album’s apocalyptic mood is augmented by a couple of Biblical tunes (David and Bathsheba star in Dead; Samsom and Delilah in Gouge Away]. And Silver, a sort of countryish travelogue, is downright eerie even by Pixies standards.

turning in outstanding drums on that tune) and plays bass on Silver. But as usual, it’s KimDeal who really shines; she, as much as Francis, is the reason for the Pixies’ appeal. Her basswork is both delicate and mindbending throughout the album (Tame, I Bleed and Here Comes Your Man spring to mind offhand). She also turns in some creepy steel guitar on Silver (which she cowrote with Francis, making her the only person other than him to receive a songwriting credit on the album). Best of all though, Kim Deal is possessed of a voice that could
lure any grown man through the very gates of Hell. Listen to the so long so long’s on Here Comes Your Man and ask yourself if you could resist. What makes Doolittle even better than Surfer Rosa, though, is its thematic unity. Doolittle is an album about the forthcoming end of life as we kIlow it, The signs are everywhere: earthquakes (Here Comes Your Man); modern romance’s surrender to vapid shallowness (Tame); fhe cheapening of sex [Dead and Hey); society’s love of weapons (There Goes My Gun]; and environmental dissolution (Monkey Gone to Heaven, in which a hole appears in the sky and Neptune-god of the sea-is wiped out by sludge]. Mr Grieves, then, is the album’s centerpiede. Hope everything is all riiiiight, chortles Francis as the song opens; of course, anyone with half a brain

Live stuff is really strange to review. I know why bands release live albums: mostly it’s because they don’t feel like going into the studio to record new material, so they dredge up all
their “classics” and slap them on vinyl for little-or no expense. But why would anybody want to buy one? If you’re that big a fan, you already have fhe stuff on bootleg, and if you’re not, why bother? The ideal way to receive a live album is for free (which, luckily, is how I got my copy). U.1.C are a punk band (hardcore? thrash? I can never tell these days] on Og records, which is a point in their favour. The album has appropriately cheezy graphics that make you yearn for the

But let’s flllow Black Francis himself (as quoted a few weeks ago in VME) to take over with the explanations. “Mr. Grieves’ is the death figure of mythoIogy. The man in fhe middle’ is Dr. Doolittle, because if you could speak to, the animals, you’d be the great link between mankind and the an,imal world. There’s this theory that if not smarter than us, animals are aware of what’s going on and if we could communicate with them they could give us the answer of the future and make everything okay. But I’m assuming that a nuclear &inter will mean that Mr. Grieves is going to win in the end.‘” Yeah.
supposed to be a compliment. The playing is fast and tight, the songs have an inkling’ of melodic structure, the second guitarist has this really cool grind/fuzz/distortion on his axe, and the drums aren’t too terribly loud. So-shock two-1 actually enjoyed it. The true test of an album, however, is taking it to my house and cranking it extremely loud on my roommafe’s turntable to get the completely unbiased opinion of my housemates. Surprisingly, they didn’t complain (well, not too much). I guess it’s rock ‘n’ roll enough to appeal to the lower life forms I live with. So what’s missing? There aren’t enough crowd noises to keep me interested. That’s the besf thing #about seeing a hardcore show: you get to scream insults at th.e band without the remotest possibility of getting thrown out, Try that with Floyd, man. But when this was recorded, the crowd at Lee’s Palace must have been sedated or something, ‘cause they’re pretty tame. Didn’t anybody tell them they were being recorded? Like U.I.C. are the Grateful Dead or something. If you really want to hear how a crowd should act, listen to some live Fear material, when they call the entire a,udience homosexuals. Now that’s rock ‘n’ dl.
Here’s the verdict: would I pay money for this ? A moot point, ‘cause I didn’t. Should you pay money for this ? If you like the band, why not: give them more money and-who knows?-one day they may put out another real album.

So, who out there wants the name bf the newest hyped-up sensation from the UK? This latest guitar-pop saviour comes with a twist: he is actually a Canadian. Sorry, make that a transplanted Canadian. It seems he left the New World for some unexplained reason. Perhaps it has to do with his name; this popster goes by the enigmatic moniker of Roy. Roy formed and currently fronts a band called The Bambi Slam. For the most part, this selftitled debut is pretty standard stuff. There is no giant departure from any other U.K. guitar-pop band, The guitar is kind of sludgey; the vocals are mellow and buried beneath crushing drums. All in all, it is well done, and I do like it‘. But it just doesn’t de-
serve the effusive praise it has received. Lately, it seems that someone has only to take a loud fuzzy guitar, play an acoustic guitar on top of it, add layers of neato percussion, and he is lauded as brilliant. Well, this must stop. Anyway, who am I to call for a ? Go ahead and buy revolution The Bambi Slam; it is nice. But as with most nice things it won’t change your life.
A solo Martin Stephenson was the opener for Hothouse Flowers at Fed Hall on March 30, and was predictably overshadowed by the latest Irish fad, since people paid to see them and not him. His set ranged from brooding and melancholy to proudly celebratory, and - was a tantalizing glimpse at an artist that I had never heard of. So, imagine my glee in later discovering this album with Stephenson and his band The Daintees. This is their second album, though it’s their first to me, and it cpvers the same emotional and thematic scope as did Stephenson’s live performance+ Happy and, if, I may use the word, pretty songs include Slaughterman, I Con See, and Nancy. The album surprises you, opening with There Comes a Time,
a song with muted acoustic guitar and blurred baritone vocals reminiscent of Leonard Cohen. This comparison ends soon, as Stephenson cultivates a refreshing acoustic guitar-based folk style, innovative with instruments, and brought to life by deeply expressive vocals with a twinge of his Newcastle accent. He draws from a variety of sounds, including strings, horns, piano and keyboards, bongos+ and yes, a dobro. And the energy and variety of his music is
172 KING
by Derek Weiler Imprint staff They’re both Georgia combos with a clear R.E.M. influence, they’re both possessed of about the same merit, and they both came into the office at around the same time-that’s all the justification I need to stick both these albums into one review. So here goes... drivin’ ‘n’ cryin’ is a four-piece band that seems confused about its purpose. Mystery Road, their latest LP, is a downright schi: zoid disc, split between country balladry and lumbering hard rock. Unfortunately, though, they’re not very exciting in either mode. The brightest light on the record is the opening Ain’t It Strange, which is straightforward country & western. This tune is enlivened by Kevin Kinney’s appealingly whiny vocal and the wonderful fiddle breaks (which recall the Waterboys’ brilliant Fisherman’s Blues). Another fine country tune is Peacemaker, this one banjobased. After that promising start, it’s disappointing to find that the bulk of the LP consists of ordinary, uninspired thudding arena-rock. This is typified by songs like Toy Never Played With, YOU Don’t Know Me and Malfunction ‘Julnction (whiich gets my vote for Idiotic Title of the Year). House for Sale is the only yockin’ song that actually goes anywhere and sustains any interest. On the others, drivin’ ‘n’ cryin’ end up sounding like leftover Aerosmith.
Not that the slower acoustic tunes are much better. Songs like 0 With the People and Straight to Hell are equally boring, and the situation is not helped by the generally banal lyrics. If you want to know where this band is coming from, check out this pukeworthy quote from Kinney that appeared in Roiling Stone: “[the songs are] simple stories about simple people. The only thing that keeps the characters from getting scr.ewed up is patience and understanding.” John Cougar Mellencamp, relinquish this boy’s mind! Guadalcanal Diary is slightly more successful with Flip-Flop, their fourth LP, if only because it at least never makes me cringe. Guadalcanal seem to have some sense of purpose: Flip-Flop is based on the same lightlyrockin’ guitar/bass/d&-& sound that has typified all their albums. This is best exemplified in the one-two punch of thtigreat opening songs, Look Up! and AIways Saturday. Passionate lead vocals, cushiony harmonies, competent and committed mu-

and slaving.
sic-these songs represent what Guadalcanal is all about, The rest of the album follows suit: it’s very energetic, pleasant and listenable-and after hearing it half a dozen times, I can still barely remember a thing about it. Maybe this memorableness stuff is over-rated. By all rights, Guadalcanal should be a truly great band. They’ve got the musical and lyrical ability, and they’re blessed with the rarity of an actual sense of humour. (Take a look at the liner notes: Murray Attaway is credited with “sing-song, jingjang, ding-dong”, while Rheit Crowe handles “mamagama barn-boom, yee-haws”.) The problem seems to be that they don’t have anything to say. There is absolutely nothing to distinguish Guadalcanal from a host -of other guitar-based Southern bands. In the words of Lou Reed: “Some people never find a voice to talk with that they can even call their own” (Street Hassle)-which neatly sums up the problem confrontiqg Guadalcanal Diary.

matched, nay surpassed, by the personal relevance of his lyrics; love songs thlat vividly recall the pain of The Wait. “The wait is a Catherine wh.eel of ever depending remorse,” and accounts of reverence in The Old Church is Still Standing: “he caters for the business man, the homeless child any prostitute and all, within its walls.” Stephenson’s work is truly poetry set to music; that is, the melody isn’t just tacked on as an excuse to sing the words. He is a complete songwriter.

Freedoms Collide: The For Our Civil Liberties by A. Alan Borovoy Lester & Orpen Dennys
by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff
l ’
If there was an overriding lesson to be gleaned from the recently aired Struggle For Democracy, it was that the price of democracy is eternal vigilance-a theme anticipated by A. Alan Borovoy’s When Freedoms ColIide, published in late 1988, A lawyer with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association since 1968 and an officer of the Order of Canada, Borovoy brings a formidable wealth of experience to his examination of the state of civil liberties in Canada. This experience gives him a remarkably objective knowledge of Canadian rights and freedoms and the multitudinous transgressions of them. And objectivity is absolutely vital to a book of this nature, allowing him to dissect the thornier issues of civil liberties without becoming selfrighteous or chanting ideological jingoisms of the right or left. The result is unfailingly thought-provoking and often unsettling: Canadians tend to distance themselves from other countries and agencies, such as the CIA, whose human rights abuses are legendary; Borovoy, however, documents case after case-aside from such flagrant human rights violations as our treatment of native peoples-in which our basic rights have been compromised. For example, we tend to take a naive view of the RCMP, as a quaint and rather harmless force
of do-goading hicks. Borovoy shows us a darker side: a sophisticated and nefarious bureau of arguably overzealous investigators who have gone well above and beyond the call of duty in isolated incidents such as the FLQ crisis of 1971 and such routine activities as wiretapping,
Borovoy makes us see how problematic are our assumptions about our own rights, often contradicting that which we take ‘for granted. For instance, Jim Keegstra and Ernst Zundel are reviled-probably rightlyfor their revisionist views of Jewish history, but if we shut
them up, are we notsuppressing the freedom of speech and expression? This is perhaps where Where Freedoms Collide’s greatest value lies: it becomes increasingly clear as one reads it that nothing is clear, that there are no boldly delineated boundaries between right and wrong, that individual rights breached in the name of the common good are often merely overrun. Is the continued surveillance of a suspected crime figure worth the invasion of privacy of all those connected with him? Is the confinement of the mentally ill to institutions done for the patient’s dwn good or the protection of society, or is it just a convenient means of eliminating an undesired constituent of sotie tv?
-~ I
Kill ‘em all
Do you know me? author and freedop ask my entourage.”
I’m Allan Borovoy, renowned lawyer, fighter! I’m not in it for the money, just
The answer, as usual, is that there is no clearly defined answer, a notion that Borovoy, through his painstaking research (there are some hundred pages of notes) and genial, highly readable style, makes abundantly and sometimes frighteningly evident. Every action taken by every level of government, legislation, or law enforcement must be viewed separately and critically as to its impact on human rights. And in an era when George Bush built a significant part of his campaign on deriding the American Civil Liberties Union, that message becomes all the more crucial.

The Athena 1988-89seasons by Rich Imprint
Nichol staff
This week, we finish the two part series on WaterIoo athletics with a summary of the Athena varsity seasons. Squash This year’s team was the most talented and successful in Athena squash history. Waterloo won all six tournaments this season, collecting a record of 49 wins and 7 losses in exhibition play, and 50 wins and 5 losses in OWIAA league action, At the Western Invitational Playoff Tournament, the Athenas captured the OWIAA Squash Championship Crown, edging Western in some spectacular matches. Gold medal winner LouiseWaite and second seed Diane Lee were named to the All-Ontario team. Diane Hutchison, team leader for fhe last five years, played the best year of her career this year, and will be competing provincially next year qutside of varsity competition. Badminton The Athenas failed to qualify for the playoffs, placing fifth in the West Section in league play. Basketball Plagued by a season of injuries, the powerless Athenas struggled to a z-12 season record, eliminating the goose-egg from the win column in their final two games. Fourth year center Corinna Lueg amassed enough points this season to put her in the top five in scoring in the OWIAA West and in fhe alltime Athena ranks, ,
Cross-country In an effort to improve last year’s mediocre ninth place OWIAA finish, the Athenas ran tremendously well to move up to fifth this season. The team also got a ninth place ranking in the CIAU standings, a first for _ . Athena cross-country.
Curling A shaky start to their first sectional of league play created a domino effect for the Athenas, and they could not qualify for the finals. Field hockey In the always tough West division, the field hockey Athenas placed fifth and the indoor team did the same during the winter months, A highlight of the indoor season was Annette Ko-ehler’s selection as an OWIAA all-star, Figure Skating As the host team in the OWIAA championships, Waterloo finished in the middle of the nine team event. Many solid performances were put forth by Suzanne Scott, who led the team with a second in precision team, a bronze in senior pairs, fifth in open ladies, and sixth in isolated pairs skating. Alpine Skiing The Athena team also placed fifth (same as the Warrior tea@ in team competition, which included a second place finish in meet four.

INSIGHT
sDort and. #w
TribaDsm in the 20th century by Lyn Imprint
McGinnis staff
The Royal Ontario Museum has an unusual exhibit running this summer, studying a mysterious aspect of our culture-sport. Entitled Let’s Play Ball!, the large display purports to “give new insight into a 20th century phenomenon,” The show begins with the earliest forms of the game in pre-Christian Scandinavia. As with pther early European and all non-European cultures, “sport” reflected a different idea system and values than it does today in the West. Or did it? Back then, group rituals fulfilled a multitude of social, political and religious purposes. For instance, the ball and placement of players were symbolic of the movement of the sun, moon and planets. How far sport has come was clear by the pamphlet accompanying the exhibit. The message Seas disturbing-at the top in bold letters was the problematic word heros, beneath which was a picture of a baseball player literally standing on a pedestal. While sport is emotionally compelling and powerful, it is also conceptually ambiguous; always a dangerous combination, Has anything really changed since the solar rituals of Scandinavia? The excessive emotions evoked by the Seoul Olympics and the Ben Jbhnson “affair”-let alone the recent soccer tragedy at Hillsborough, Sheffield, display clearly that sport remains in the religious realm, but what is the religion? The front page of March 11's Globe and Mail, ran the headline: “Runners must use steroids to reach top, Francis says”. “Top of what?” you may wonder“ he heap” of course! Sport provides enjoyable spectacles, while feeding myths, insecurities, and entrenched power structures. It allows a forum for emotional release, a temporary respite from day to day existence. Taken to its logical conclusion, large scale recreational aggression lays the groundwork for political manipulation.
The Dubin enquiry, charged with looking into Canadian athletic steroid use, is in the very early stages of a fundamental dilemma. Our desire to be noble and at the same time “number one” is having a very public confrontation. +
Two neutral dynamics appear universal in human interaction: co-operation and competition. Both are a natural part of humanity, both play important roles in our lives. Problems begin when an imbalance occurs in our valuing of these two social tendencies. North America is predominantly competitive in its orientation, The majority see competition as a virtue.
In the competitive system, out of one hundred contenders, ninety-nine losers. These ninety-nine form a defeated pyramid (the heap); the “triumphant” winner stands on receiving praise usually serving a hundred. Ninety-nine have “failure” given for their efforts, one has “victory”. A casual glance at the sports section in any paper reveals a startling number of “fighting” words: “victory, defeated, bravery, battle, defend, dominated, assert, beaten, erase, catastrophe, triumphant” to name only a few, Competition exists in our genes, but the elevation of competition is a product of cultural development. Every culture recognizes the importanc? of safety valves for the public. And the wiser cultures (including ours] use this necessity to find effective ways to strengthen the status-quo and numb harsh realities. Bread and circuses con‘tinue to keep many political and corporate heads on their dubious shoulders, creating in the process a new race of demi-gods-the “elite athlete”, These creations in turn serve the system both by offering a moment of forgetfulness, and re-enforcing and validating the system’s “virtue”.
Two neutral dynamics in human interaction: co-operation and competition In the competitive system, out of one hundred contenders are ninty-nine losers, These ninty-nine form a defeated pyramid the triumphant winner stands on. The fact many-types of sport involve two internally co-operating groups in no way diminishes the fundamentally competitive nature of their intent. To achieve their objective in spite of the “other side” and to thwart the “other side” from achieving theirs. All for the audience’s mounting tension, glorious release or intense frustration, The public are duped into thinking they are escaping the system at the game, for moment the daunting world is simplified, its threatening complexity reduced to a formula. In fact, they are further indoctrinated by the competitive values they sought to escape, and dissipated and pacified by its observance. Whether the crowds are cheering an individual or a team, they are mystically linking their sense of self and their community well-being with these archetypal beings and their rituals in the arena. The actors, be they “elite” or otherwise, taken out of this context, are as mortal, and often far more obnoxious than anyone else. Their cultural importance is what they do, not who they are. We are looking at a clear example of mass manipulation. People losing themselves in abstractions is the final goal of all nationalists, “Team loyalty” and loyalties to other completely abstract concepts such as “state”, “religion” and “race” are closely linked. At the heart of these primal emotions is individual and national insecurity. On the individual level, insecurity determines self value by making comparisons. The desire to win and fear of loss replace self worth based on personal development and social responsibility. On the national level, the use of uniforms, symbols, and ritual ‘all display the need to be collectively lost in a “glory” supposedly larger than real life. This is the “twentieth century phenothis is the “religion” sport celemenon”, brates! A destructive form of individualism [survival of the fittest), coupled with tribalism, where the individual finds solace in mass allegiance. The goal is the submerging of self in the elite archetype, symbol of the tribe.
What words would be used in the sports pages if the cultural emphasis was on co-operation instead of competition?
Let’s return to the Royal Ontario Museum exhibit. Baseball-all the emotions and dynamics described above are vividly present in an audience cheering on the home team. But the sport does not only exist on the continent of its birth; it is played in many parts of the world. In Japan the game is very popular. Fans dress in team colours and engage in all sorts of hilarious activity. Yet there is a profound difference in how the game is played. In Japan, they play for ties. That’s right, they play for ties! There is a conscious, deliberate, concerted effort to provide the maximum entertainment while minimizing embarrassment and ensuring harmony. Can you imagine picking up the sports pages and reading about balance and harmony and how “no one lost face”?! This enlightened state of affairs is. achieved by balancing strong players and teams against weak ones, giving each their chance as long as harmony is maintained overall. The team winning the championship does so only by two or three games, never by ten or more, Everyone has a wonderful time, both winners and losers. There is no doubt the Japanese are extremely competitive in the world’s marketplace, knowing how to best use competition to their advantage. Yet when they play ball, they display an attitude toward sport almost incomprehensible in the West. While this situation may appear staged to Western eyes, our inherited attitudes are just as artificial-cultural institutions are not born, they are made. The solar rituals in ancient Scandinavia were created for a reason. Certain activities, emotions and concepts were linked together to suit a particular set of needs. They complimented the myths of the society and were fully supported by the religious/political hierarchies of the time.
Whether the crowds are cheering an elite individual or a team, they are mystically linking their sense of self and community well-being with these archetypal beings and their rituals in the arena. In the modern Western world, the situation is the same. Spectator sports are created for a reason, linking together cel’tain activities, emotions and concepts to suit a very specific set of needs. Our twentieth century phenomenon is tribalism. It functiovs as a manifestation of individual and group insecurity finding solace in competitive extravaganza. Tribalism feeds the myths of a destructive individualism and virtuous competition and receives the blessing and financial largess of both corporation and state.
As with all cultural creations, its roots go very deep and its branches are many. We do ourselves. a disservice in leaving unexamined the checkered legacy of sport, and the “virtues” it extols on our culture, Physical activity isI healthy, and can exist equally well in a co-operative context. Just as we increasingly reject war toys for children, preferring development of games encouraging creativity and co-operation, so we can gradually change adult play. Enjoyable physical activity can evolve into something far more engaging than merely a contest between equal forces. Such creative, cooperative, positive activity could contribute much to th’e ongoing maturation of our species. Tribalism, on the other hand, is wholly negative and regressive, encouraging an immature personal’and cultural perspective,
Tribalism functions as a manifestation of individual and group insecurity finding Solace in competitve extravaganza. The goal is the submerging of self in the elite aichetype, symbol of the tribe, Recently, behavioral scientist and Nobel Prize winner K:onrad Lorenz died in Austria at 85 yearis of age. In 1966 he published his sensational work: On Aggression, in which he argued aggression is inherited. He stated our species carries such a glut of aggression in our genes that wars are an inevitable part of our destiny. We cannot afford such fatalism. Our creative response to life has always been the hallmark of our kind. But we get “into a rut” at times, “What’s the harm in enjoying the game, or aspiring to greatness?” Nothing. As long as we do not forget the other end of the human spectrum. The co-operative spectacle of a traditional Mennonite barn raising is surely as great as the heart stopping action of tribal elites.
As often the case in instances of interesting dilemmas, we are confronted by conflicting ideas and values, each claiming pre-eminence. One idea, the noble one proudly voiced in public, involves our high esteem for individual accomplishment .wit hout unfair advantage. This is combined with our highly selective distaste for chemical enhancement of an individual. The other idea, far less respectable, is our naked lust after the competitive so-ciety’s highest attainment-being number one. This i’dea is linked with another, the desire for huge financial rewards. One publication entitled a Dubin Enquiry article Shocking Reve,lotions. I find statements used during the Olympics and in general competition coverage such as “Canada’s best hope” and “Canada deserves the medal”?nfinit ely more shocking than the very human choices individuals make in the unenviable ppsition of ta:king on the tribe’s fickle hopes.

The spring term may be fairly bleak as far as the varsity sports scene is concerned, but one group of Waterloo athletes has no off season. The spring and summer provide plenty .of venues for the track and field and cross-country teams to do battle. Running unaffiliated or for their clubs, Warrior and Athena runners compete in many road races and track meets over the summer months. One Athena in particular has been having an impressive season. Lisa Laffradi has been tear-
ing up the road ram circuit after her fourth place finish in the QWIAAs last March. Most recently, she won a 10 kilometre race in the Metro Zoo last Sunday, May 14. Laffradi finished with a time of 38 minutes, 13 seconds. Her teammate, team captain Jill Francis, ran a 2:23 800 metre race the same day at an all-comer’s meet in Cambridge. Waterloo runners of the past and present were out in force for the Caledon Springs 10 km race in Toronto May 7. Alumnus Mark Inman won the race, which is one of the most prestigious in the country. ’

Inman broke away over the last kilometre from the lead group, which included undergrad Paul Ernst and kinesiology grad Nick Cipp. Ernst placed fifth and Cipp was eighth. Jill Francis ran impressively, taki,ng fourth in the women’s division.
Sneaker Day kicks off Fitweek on Friday, May 26. Canadians from Victoria to Halifax will lace up their sneakers whether they ark wearing suits, skirts, or shorts to support physical activity for a healthy lifestyle. From May 26 to June 4, organizations across the country will take part in fun and crazy events to celebrate Fit week. The Minister of State for Fitness and Amateur Sport egcourages and assists groups to organize activities and challenges to increase awareness of and involvement in physical activity as a means to better health and overall wellbeing. Everywhere Canadians will play sports, walk the block, ride their bikes, or participate in Fitweek theme activities such as Most Original Sneakers contests, the Revolt of the Couch Potatoes, and the In-sock Hop. Play that game or take that walk you have been putting off and celebrate with fhe rest of the country! I

It’s amazing some of the things *hat you hear through the grapeline. As a matter of fact, this is xobably the funniest story to :ome across the sports desk in Jears. In a conversation with West!rn men’s basketball team coach 3oug Hayes at a recent Ford Fesiva and varsity sports promoional luncheon, I found out that lis nearly flawless team (on the :ourt) can be the amusement of he league (in the pool). Apparently, Western has an rward called the “Boner of the Meek Award,” which is given lut weekly to an individual or roup that does something inredibly stupid. At the end of the chool year there is a “Boner of he Year Award,” awarding the rest [worst?] stupid act for that rear. Hayes told me, much to his musement, that his men’s bas.etball team players were the
out of the baql equipment football or

1989 recipients. This past s,eason, Western par ticipated in ,a tournament in Ed. monton during pre-seasor exhibition play. According tc Hayes, the team decided to go fol a swim in the pool at the hote between games. At one end of the pool, thert was a wall covered with mirrors Being the only ones there at tht pool, the daring Mustangs de, tided to moon the mirrors jusl for kicks. Little did they know, the mir. ror they were mooning was 2 two-way mirror for the hote’ dining room. The guys final13 realized what they had donf when a hotel employee rushed ir from a side door to tell them about the mirror. Immediately, the team scampered away from the pool area as fast as they could, with faces as red as apples, So when it came down to deciding who would win the annual award, Hayes’ troop won hands-and trunks-down.

Nichol staff
Wally Delahey, the co-ordinator of Men’s Interuniversity Athletics at UW, has announced that Scott Shantz will be new head coach of the Warrior volleyball team as of this fall. Shantz replaces Rob Atkinson, the coach for the past six years. Atkinson resigned as head coach in order to devote more time to his family and his increasing responsibilities with the Waterloo County Board of Educat idn. Shantz was an assistant coach with the Warriors this past season, and a member of the team for four years from X383-84 to 1986-87, During that time, Waterloo won the OUAA West Title all four years, and took the league championship twice, in 1983-84 and 1985-86. In both of those seasons, the Warriors went on to participate in the CIAU championships. Prior to enrollinlg at UW, Shantz attended Waterloo-Oxford high school in Baden, Ontario. In high school and during his first year of university, Shantz played for the Guelph Oaks, They won Ontario championships in 2980, 1982, and 1984, and placed third in the National Championship in 1984. During his nine years as a player, Shantz won many individual awards, including being selected as an OUAA all-star in 1987. His skill and knowledge of the game will be a great asset to the team as they strive for yet another trip to the CIAUs.
McKee will be busy The head coach of the UW hockey Warriors, Don McKee, will be entering his fifth year at the helm when the Warriors begin exhibition play this fall. As he looks at the upcoming season, he realizes he will have some important decisions to make concerning departing athletes and one of the coaches. McKee, who has a record of 56 wins, 29 losses, and 15 ties in his coaching career at Waterloo, must replace seven graduating players. Most notable among the departees is Steve Linseman. He left UW as the all-time leading scorer in Warrior hockey history. It looks like the strength of the Warriors will be from the goal out. Mike Bishop, Waterloo‘s Al-
l-Canadian goaltender for the past two years, is expected to return, although he will be watched at an upcoming NHL training camp. In front of Bishop, the War‘riors will have four returning defensemen. With all of the experience on and behind the blueline, they may show more patience wj.th the new recruits on the forward lines. Coach McKee is alsd faced with the problem of replacing Kevin Fitzpatrick, an assistant coach with the Warriors for the past three years, Fitzpatrick has accepted a position as the head coach of a junior team in the Midwestern Ontario Junior Hockey League.
