One of the on-going commitments of the Federation of Students is to build better community-university relations. Vice-President (Univer.sity Affairs) Fran Wdowczyk, describes the “Neighbours” Service (formerly WATSHOP) as a “great program that, for students, is an excellent way to get solutions and help in understanding their rights and responsibilities in the community,”

Waterloo City Council recently put into effect the proposal that was unanimously supported bwhen presented by the City of Waterloo On-Going Student Housing Committee. The Neighbours service was established to address a wide range and increasing number of resident complaints and concerns pertaining to neighbourhood living. This objective includes increasing public awareness and the use of UW and WLU student volunteer centers.

ducted through the combined services of Community Justice Initiatives and UW Campus Mediation to ensure a sense of neutrality in proceedings. Paul Feihaber, a municipal liaison of ricer, spends Fridays on the UW campus and Wednesday mornings on the WLU campus assisting students with their concerns. Working in conjunction withCampus Mediation, the ombudsperson and landlord and tenant offices, Felhaber’s job is multi-face ted and ranges from roommate versus roommate to neighbour versus neighbour disputes. After working in Property Standards with the City of Waterloo, Felhaber says he has the experience and the personal repertoire to provide answers to questions and solutions to problems. He urges that if a student feels there might be a problem, “don’t wait until the end of the term to find out what can be done.” He feels that “no question is a stupid question” and even if students don’t think it’s important, it may prove to be very significant. The program,’ initially supported by council in February 1989, has been in effect and operating on campus only since September 5. In that time, Fel’haber handled twelve cases in the first two weeks, several of which involved the report of numerous unlicensed lodging houses. Felhaber is available every Friday in Legal Resources (CC ISOB) for drop-in and pre-arranged appointments through the Fed Office.

Namibia seeks support by Dave Wilson Namibia is in need of continued international support in the period following the upcoming elect ions. This was the thrust of Waterloo MP Walter McLean’s speech to a crowd of 70 last Friday night at Knox Presbyterian Church in Waterloo. McLean stressed the importance of Namibia’s struggle to extricate itself from South African control. He believes that the failure of Namibians to establish a democratic and stable sovereign state will be used by white South Africans as justification for their argument that blacks are not capable of governing themselves. In the case of Namibia, McLean explained why this may well be the case. He described how the hierarchical system instituted by South Africa has left

the black population largely without management or trade skills; Namibians also face the problem of mass illiteracy while trying to use English as the national language. A third, and more immediate problem identified by McLean will be the maintenance of law and order, Right now the Namibian police have only four black officers, and many of the white officers are expatriate South Africans who will soon be returning home. Considering these problems, McLean emphasized the importance of the work of the United Nations, and specifically Canada, in helping Namibia achieve and maintain independence. Canada’s involvement includes supplying peacekeeping troops, helping with refugee settlement, supplying ballot boxes, and training election officials. In the

*Eminence by Garth Frazer While the topic “Faith and Our Generation: Social Witness in the 96s” tnight seem daunting, it will be addressed by a man whose reputation warrants- the challenge. Archbishop Ted Scott, former Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, former Moderator of the Central Committee of the World Council of Churches, and former President of the Canadian Council of Churches, is one of the bestknown Church persons in Canada, and he will be coming to speak on campus Tuesday, October 3, 7:30 p.m., in the Arts Lecture Hall (AL116). The event is sponsored by the newlyformed Student Christian Movement. Archbishop Scott is a man who has earned the respect and admiration of Canadians from all different church denominations, His passion for justice, his ecumenical spirit and his love for people have earned him a place of esteem among church people around the globe. A close friend of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Scott is a member of the Commonwealth Eminent Persons Group on South Africa. In that capacity, he will have just returned from a working visit to Namibia, where his role includes observing the elections underway in that country. Scott’s theme, “Faith and Our Generation: Social Witness in the gas”, reflects the Archbishop himself. He is a man who, from the days of his involvement with the Student Christian Movement at the University of Manitoba, has integrated his faith with jus’ tice issues ranging from Native land claims to apartheid to the detention and deportation of Japanese Canadians in WW II. Scott’s return from the tense region of SouthernAfrica a week - before he arrives should fuel his talk, The Ted Scott event is particularly interesting because it will be the kick-off event for a new group on campus, the Student Christian Movement [SCM) - the same SCM that Ted Scott was involved in during his days on campus at the University of Manitoba. According to Russel SnyderPenner, a member of the SCM steering committee, that was no accident: “We wanted to find a speaker who was widely known

near future, Canada -will send 50-160 RCMP officers to help train black policemen. While applauding these measures, McLean warned that Namibia would need continued support after the elections to counter possible South African attempts at destabilization. He outlined the need for extensive educational reforms that would create a pool of expertise needed to run a modern nation. He also stressed the need for continued financial support and investment to develop Namibia’s economy. Mcbean recently returned from Namibia as part of a Canadian parliamentary observer team and he is the government’s special represent at ive on South Africa. His talk was sponsored by Christians Against Apartheid and the Global Community Centre.

COMMENT

TheL ,g.reat abortion debate

Last week, there was an explosion of emotion at our staff

meeting as staff members looked at the abortion feature entitled “Abortion: choice versus repression” by Lyn McGinnis. First off, let me clear something up. This piece was a feature, not anews article; it was not intended to be objective and factual, nor was it intended to represent the views of Imprint as a whole. It was a highly personal andin-depth analysis of a controversial issue. And believe me, the discussion at the staff table was just as heated as the letters to the editor published this week. ’ Quite a few came in at over the 400 word limit, and every letter has been published in its entirety. One writer wrote me “there was no way that this letter could be confined to such a length. Due to the controversial subject of this letter, and since Imprint should be giving equal opportunity to both pro-choice and pro-life views. . . I am asking you to print this letter anyways despite its size.” He is quite right. Both sides deserve their space in the paper, and we have provided it. We did not edit a single letter on the abortion feature, for or against. Some questioned our reasoning at running such a controversial feature in the first place, whether or not they thought it reflected McGinnis’s views or Imprint’s as a whole. In looking back at features published over the last three years, it is clear many are opinionated, subjective, and controversial. We have published features on capital punishment, prostitution and feminism, gay ordination, ethics of transplants, militarism, mass media thought control, and sexuality. If these topics aren’t controversial, what is? We would be abdicating our responsibility as a newspaper if we refused to publish controversial material in order not to offend or to try and protect some of our readers. We have a responsibility to and an interest in exploring the issues of the day. We have more freedom to tackle certain issues than larger papers do, as‘we are not part of a chain and alsq because we are situated in the “liberal” atmosphere of a university campus. What purpose would it serve to stick to nice, safe topics like Apartheid and world hunger that are generally agreed to be “bad”? Some charge that part one of the abortion feature was too emotional. But how are we to sift out the emotion in an issue that is primarily a moral and emotional issue? If McGinnis had written an objective survey of opinions on campus, for example, it could have been run as a news article, Would we have gotten the letters, stimulated the lively debate that has occurred as a result of the abortion feature? Probably not, L We can’t censor others opinions because they may be perceived as .“extreme” or “wrong”. How can you invalidate someone’s opinion? The whole basis of it is that is cannot be divided into right and wrong. -Thus we bring you part two of the abortion feature. Flew Macqueen

Responsible

drinking:

An oxymoron The coroner’s inquest into the alcohol related death of 19 y~rold Richard Sloan, who choked

to death on his own vomit after

falling down a flight of stairs at the University of Guelph, has once again brought student drinking habits under the eye of public scrutiny. “Students cannot drink responsibly,” assert the experts, ‘media and little old ladies from Manitouwadge. “We encourage responsible drinking practices,” defend the ctimpus pub managers, student government6 and scholarly youths from homes in which the only thing done in binges is grocery shopping. Responsible drinking, they

meau, we are over- achievers when it comes to ducking our fair share of responsibility. We must first learn to accept a certain amount of responsibility when sober, before we can when intoxicated. And society’s recanting of its “holier than thou” attitude toward6 university students’ drinking habits is a mighty fine place to start. Raising the drinking age, serving only one drink at a time or banning shooters, doubles and king-cans, are nothing more than band-aid treatments for what is only a symptom of the real problem.

say. Bull, I say. Look, separate the two w.ords. What do you get? Responsible. Drinking. Now put them back together. What have you got? An oxymoron. I mean, who the hell drinks to be responsible? We might, drink to forget or remember; find ourselves or lose ourselves; feel good or feel sad. But nobody not even Nancy Reagan - drinks to be responsible. We are a superficial, quick-fix, escapist society, for whom alcohol is only one of many ways+ve dodge responsibility. Be it drugs, abortion, or no fault auto insurance; blaming government, big business or Ben Johnson: dumping our pollution in the Arctic, the Third World or Baie-Col

This week is Imprint’s tenth anniversary as a corporation. First published on June 15, 1978 ( the issue is shown here held by the editor of the day, Nick Redding), the corporation Imprint Publications was formed in September of that year. Through the years, volunteers have come and go, and our “lotik” has changed a great deal. But overall, the same things that drew the original members here draw us to continue today. Thanks to everyone that’s kept it alive over the years, and cheers!

Anti-abortion To the editor,

I would like to take issue with some of the opinions expressed in the feature “Abortion: Choice versus repression,” (September ~2)~Some of the charges brought against the anti-abortion movement are based on flawed arguments, not to mention the fact that the charges are expressed in very inflammatory language. For instance, the philosophy of the anti-abortion (and anyone who holds to that philosophy) is branded as violently sexist and fascist. The evidence to support this charge is based on historical illustrations from Nazi Germany and from recent outbursts of violence at anti-abortion protests. Two points can be raised against this argument. First, I submit that the evidence is not representative of either the philosophy of the modern anti-abortion movement, or the large majority of people who subscribe to it. The acts of violence at recent protests are the work of “lunatic fringe” members of the

anti-abortion movement, No societal organization is immune from having such cretins in their membership; no organization should be held in contempt because of this. 3 Let us consider Islam as an analogy. The actions of the late Ayatollah Khomeini and his band of “holy” warriors were, and still are, despicable. However,_no serious study of Islam would dismiss the religion as “divine authorization for trigger-happy goons” becauie of this. As for the Nazis, another analogy may be helpful. It is true that Hitler was an anti-abortionist for all the wrong reasons. However, when Hitler enlisted the help of Ferdimind Porsche to build a “car for the people,” he presumably had morally wrong reaqons to do this. (I would guess that he wanted to show off Germany’s “superior industrial capabilities,” or he wanted to bribe the German people into acceptv ing his mad schemes.)

charges flawed Does this make everyone who owns a Beetle neo-Nazis? You couldn’t be more wrong if you said they were all chimpanzees. Second, not only do I resent being called a belligerent goon, this sort of name-calling does nothing for debate of this issue. This applies equally to antiabortionists. While I believe that a fetus is sufficiently similar to a human being that its preservation is morally obligatory, I have no time for anti-abortionists who shout “babykiller!” at 120 decibels. Another flawed argument is the assertion that unwanted pregnancies that are not aborted will end in abuse of the infants born into such situations. While I admit that many (too many) infants will suffer such a fate, the implicit assertion that this will happen in all cases is an untenable generalization that smacks of a threat. As well, it may be a red herring; I frankly think that proabortionists would not accept the abolishment of abortion if

(by some miracle) child abuse were to disappear from the face of the earth. If we examine this assertion further, it seems to suggest a solution to the problem of child abuse - namely, abort the fetuses that will be born into an abusive relationship. But surely this is a stop-gap measure at best. It does not address the root psychological disorders that drive people to be abusive. It would certainly not tiork in a situation where a woman w~ould not get an abortion, even when it is available on demand, only to have the child be victimized (most probably by the father or older siblings]. Finally, I would like to make an appeal to all people who are involved in the abortion debate, regardless of what side you are on. I urgently request that the issue be discussed in a calm, rational manner. Both sides have produced enough semantic claptrap to sink the US.S. New Jersey, Most sane people, regardless, of where they stand, would admit that the moral ramifica--

tions of abortion maKe me MUG ’ too important to be decided by name-calling or fist fights. If anyone has a tendency to act emotionally in a debate, I ask that he/she either resist this tendency or stay out of this debate. This also involves either accepting arguments raised by the opposition, or finding counter-arguments to refute them, as opposed to dismissing them offhand bacause the opposition is made up of “murderesses” or “born-again bigots.” This article raises serious concerns (i.e. discriminatory adoption practices, bias in the judicial system) that should be addressed. I sincerely hope that the points raised in this letter will also be considered and addressed. If they are dismissed because I am a man (and “can’t know how it feels to be oppressed”), then I wouldn’t want to be involved in such a mockery of rational discourse in the first place.

Ingratitude -for factual representation”

About penises... DEAR SEXPERT: Is it true that guys with foreskins are-more responsive sexually than guys who have been circumcised? ANSWER: In general - no. There is no proven difference in sexual responsiveness between circumcised and uncircumcised males. Some people have suggested that an uncircumcised male will have a more sensitive glans (tip of the penis] than will a male without a foreskin. This assumes that the foreskin protects the penis from constant chafing and leaves it more sensitive to stimulation. In the book Our Sexuality, by crooks and Baur, the authors discuss the experiences of several men who were circumcised when they were adults. These men, who experienced intercourse both with and without a foreskin, had differing opinions about the changes in their excitability. Some of those males said that their glans were less sensitive after circumcision, whereas others reported no changes at all. In other words, circumcision might decrease the sensitivity of the penis for some (but not all) males. It is also possible that some other aspect of the operation accounted for the change in responsiveness. Although this is an interesting question, don’t forget that both circumcised and uncircumcised males are capable of having enjoyable sex,

DEAR SEXPERT: I’m concerned that my penis is abnormal when it’s hard it isn’t that big and it’s kind of curved. Is there anything I can do about it? ANSWER: Let’s take one thing at a time. First of all, I won’t bother mentioning ihe average siz~eof a penis because there’s nothing you can do about changing it. You shouldn’t be concerned about comparing yourself to other males, but if you are, you should realize that large penises exist more often in exaggeration and fantasy than they do in reality. Also, the size of your penis does not affect the amount of physi- , cal stimulation that you can give to a female (except in extreme cases). Most of the sensitivity in the vagina is concentrated in its outer part and the vagina adjusts easily to different shapes. The only way that penis size influences sexual satisfaction is through a self-fulfilling prophecy - if you or your partner believes that your penis will not provide enough satisfaction then it probably won’t, A positive attitude is all you need to provide hours of pleasure. Secondly, curvature in an erect penis is quite common. There is great variability in penis shape and the angle of erection -no one shape is “normal.” Occasionally the curv8fure of a penis is so great that erections and intercourse will be painful. If this is the case, you should see your doctor and he likely will be able to correct the problem.

Reader appreciates feature To the editor,

Thank ybu! I greatly appreciate the inclusion of the “Abortion: Choice Versus Repression” feature in last week’s Imprint. I fear, however, because this article included, you will bear the brunt of considerable criticism. I would like to emphasize my gratitude for the factual representation of some milestone events in the history of the abortion issue. This article did not slam the other side of the issue, nor did it make the author’s opinions seem overbearing. It simply pointed out some important facts. So, a word of caution to those about to wield their fiery pens against the evil-doer who wrote the nasty feature: please ‘consider the fact that we live in a democracy. In a democracy, the citizens have certain rights. The author’ of this feature actively exercised the right of free speech. I do not feel this feature made any attempt to offend those supporting the other side of the issue. It is not hate literature, and therefore it has merit as a representation of freddom of speech. It will be essential for our society to solve the abortion issue, but it is equally important that eople expose themselves to E0th sides so that-they can make an intelligent decision, If, therefore, our student pub-. lication

exposes

both

aides

of’

controversial issues, it is to be commended. I believe it does so, and deserves due credit, So, again, thank you for exposing readers to these facts about abortion. ’ By the way, for those of you who feel that abortion is wrong, I agree with you; but choice is not.

It is of the utmost importance that choice is the primary right of individuals in our democratic society. So before throwing this letter down in disgust, I urge you to consider what choices will be limited next, if we limit the choice of individuals on this issue. Perhaps if women can not decide for themselves about abortion then is it not plausible that they cannot decide as to whether or not they should get married or di-

vorced. Or get a job. Or Ivote. The Handmaid’s Tale, by Margaret Atwood, looks surprisingly plausible. I hope the inclusion of dhis feature has made at least some readers consider the issue more closely-and also conside the importance of choice if we Iwant to continue in a democratic manner.

Blatant

bias

To the editor, After reading Part 1 of Lyn MdGinnis’s feature, entitled “Abortion: Choice versus Repression,” I could not be at ease with myself until I had at least formulated some kind of reponse. The feature was presented under the guise of a historically factual look at the abortion issue. Howevdr, every word was infected with such blatant and unashamed bias, that it quickly became apparent that the article was nothing more than an inappropriate vehicle for the author’s personal opinion. I could only laugh out loud when I read McGinnis’s likening of the motives and values of Mother

Teresa

to those

of Adolf

Hitler. SureIy, all readers will agree that .this absolutely ludicrous comparison left its author bereft of any shred of credibility. I also have to question the ethical standards -of Imprint staff for publishing this feature. Since I could not find a disclaimer attached to the article, I can only

R. Cunningham

1st year

assume that it represents Imprint’s official position on the abortion ’ issue. Perhaps you should consider slightly more objective news reporting in the future. By printing a feature with such an obvious slant to it, you have lost any remaining trace of journalistic int?grity. McGinnis’s feature was, quite simply, trash; it should never have been printed. I strongly urge Imprint NOT to print Part 11 of the article.

Lyn McGinnis’s piece was a feature, not a news article; as such, it was an opinionated, in-depth and highly personal look at Q particular topic. It was not intended to he an objective news article, nor does ir! represent the views of Im rint us a whole. Please see tphe lead comment piece on the first forum page for further clarification - ed.

FORUM

Mahoney vs ,McGinnis

To the editor,

I would iike to thank Lyn McGinnis for his pro-choice feature on abortion in Sept. 22 issue of Imprint. His childish*and intellectually insulting article did more to further the pro-life cause than any pro-life article could ever do. I could not imagine any pro-choice stipporter .wishing to remain in the same group as Lyn, First, in the discussion of the Chantel Daigle injunction, Lyn tries to take the attention away from the issue which is the rights of a male in the decision making process (i.e. the removal of the male’s right to a choice) and focuses on Jean-Guy Tremblay as an oppressive sexist pig. I noticed that Lyn said that it was “heard” rather than quoted that Tremblay said, “I’m proud. It’s my child, It’s my woman.” Lyn, who overheard this? and why was it never quoted by the national newspapers? Did you get a scoop? Fortunately, even if Tremblay did say this, he is the exception not the rule. The majority of prolife supporters do not wish to keep women barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen, they are concerned with what they consider the murder of unborn children. Both the male and the female should have an equal amount of choice in deciding the future of their children (providing that the pregnancy is not a result of a one night stand relationship) and pro-choice supporters are only pro-choice when it comes to the woman’s rights. In the discussion of the prolife supporters ignoring court injunctions, both in B.C. and more recently in Toronto; Lyn said that these people broke the injunction because of “militant fanaticism.” I am not familiar with the B.C. injunction so I will not discuss it (a courtesy I wish Lyn would extend) but in the Toronto case the injunction against

Many students complain each year that by Thanksgiving they weight IO lbs. (about 4.5 kg) more than they did when the term started. People gain weight by taking in too many calories and not getting enough exercise. For students living at home, maintaining a balanced diet is not usually a problem. Students living in residencti or on their own, however, definitely do have a problem in maintaining a nutritious diet, The four food groups used as a healthy guide to eating in high school is still a useful tool: 1 ,- Milk and dairy goods (3-4 servings per dcy). One serving is equal to a big glass of milk or a hunk of cheese [2 oz.) 2.- Meat, poultry, fish (2 servings per day). One serving is 3 oz, lean meat or 4 tablespoon2 of peanut butter. 3.- Bread and cereals (3-5 servings per day). One serving is one slice of brown bread or a bowl of wheat ‘n’oats cereal. 4.- Fruits and vegetables (4-5 servings per day including at least z veggie servings). One serving is one medium-sized potato or a mediumsized orange, Note that the guide does not recommend Fretich fries, sugar-coated chocolate blastum’ bombs, hot fudge sundaes or beer as a serving in any food group. Much of the on-campus foods are high in calories and low in nutritional value, but careful selection allows the maintenance of a balanced diet. Eating regularly is a starter [this includes that breakfast thing!] Skipping meals often leads to fatigue, nibbling, poor nutrition, and temptations to overeat at the next meal. At lunch, avoid fries and gravy and other fast foods. Try to limit your intake of fattening des-

serts+ Instead try to choose soups and sandwiches with fresh fruit for dessert. At dinner, limit fried goo,dsand select baked or broiled meats with lots of vegetables. Eating is an enjoyable activity, but eating should not be used as a means to supplement reading or watching TV. During times of depression or loneliness+ eating can seem like a great cure. Instead, why not try riding your bike, going for a walk, or dancing at Fed Hall to deal with your depression? Many of the students who complain about weight gain have become less active since leaving high school. Our university offers some amazing recreation facilities, ranging from fitness classes, rabquet sports, intramural volleyball to broomball, A quick consultation of the Campus Ret activities booklet available at the PAC has some activity for everyone. It’s a great way to try something new and make new friends. I’m not saying you have to eat spinach every day and work out for three hours every other day. Eating shsuld still be pleasurable and I’m sure you can find some fruit and vegetables that you enjoy eating. Learning to moderate the frequency of non-nutritious foods is probably the toughest habit to break and the biggest thing you can do to moderate weight gain.

Invitation

to Peter V.

Keeping an open mind To the editor, Thirty years ago, many intellectual theologians would have held views similar to Peter Ventresca on the topic of Sodom and Gomorrah. However, wifh the increasing quality of translations from the Hebrew and Greek, biblical historians have a very different view of these two cities. They were destroyed not for homosexuality, but for rape, incest, and the sin of inhospitality. The Bible lists other examples of “homosexuality”, but these can be explained as laws against paedophilia rather than same sex acts between consenting adults. I would question why gay and lesbian behaviour is so “deplorable.” If no one is hurt and no one is murdered, why is it such a big sin? What do the sexual relations of two consenting adults have to

do with the censure of society? Gay rape does happen, but is far less of a problem than straight rape. Statistics prove that paedophilia is no more prevalent in the gay and lesbian community than in the straight community; it simply receives more media attention. Society is tolerant, but only of actions which it considers “normal.” The reason the gay and lesbian community now looks with pride upon its endeavours is a new lack of patience with-the traditional social suffocation that the community has always faced. We take pride in the works of Michaelangelo, Christopher Marlowe, Frances Bacon, Jean Couteau, and Tennessee Williams as artists whose sexuality has influenced the culture which we call our own. Even the man who commissioned the King James Bible-King James-was

himself a homosexual. What society needs to fear is not “deplorable, gay and lesbian behaviour,” but the march of ignorance and the prejudice associated with it that threatens the fundamental freedm of each individual, Gay and lesbian pride comes from a desire for tolerance that has been denied too often. For those ready to condemn the gay and lesbian community, all I ask is that they first educate themselves. I would invite Peter Ventresca to a GLLOW coffeehouse some Wednesday night. It is not a den of “licentious, baseminded people,” but an opportunity for conversation and learning open to any individual willing-to keep an open mind.

What comes to mind when you think of food? Hot fudge sundaes? Macaroni and cheese?Caesar salad? Generally we think of something scrumptious to eat, yet when we think about ‘who produces our food and how it gets to our table, it suddenly becomes a complex issue.

Right on Petey! Go Petey Go!. To the editor, Re: “The Lessons of Sodom” by Peter Ventresca - right on Petey! It’s good to see people starting to believe in the old testament God again, the God who isn’t afraid to turn people into sugar cubes (or whatever) for thinking about having sex, the god who will raze an entire city if he has to. Goodness knows, we all love Christ, but he’s always been too wimpy for my taste. “Love thy neighbour” ? Lynch him or her, I say! Especially these disgusting faggots and dykes. Sex is bad enough, but these people insist on taking it to the most perverse extreme. And to parade in the streets! Have they no shame? They could learn a lesson or two from nice heterosexual rituals. Marriage! Children! Real, adult responsibilities, not lives of mindless

promiscuity and diseasespreading. You can bet that I won’t wait for the day when God zaps them all. I want to kick some faggot butt NOW and start doing God’s work on earth - Lord knows most of society, while horrified by the perverts, is just too lazy to do anything about it. What I’d like you to do, Petey, is leave your number in the Imprint office. I’ll pick it up, give you a call, and we can grab our baseball bats and take our hatred out on the people who deserve it in real, physical terms. It’ll make us feel better, really it will! Better than sitting around and stewing. I am looking forward to hearing from you, Petey - it’s you and me against the damned. Charge! _ Terry Gambarotto 2N Arts

What a shock to learn that there are actually people (although I can think of better words for them) at UW who derive some kind of entertainment value out of torturing or maiming the animals here.

The “Joe KooW of Waterloo To the editor, Yes, we’re mad, spitting mad. Recently, a new bar opened on King Street across from Taps. Gleracious Hornblowers, otherwise known as Glers, is a much needed addition to sleepy Waterloo. It has a lively atmosphere, lots of TV screens to keep otherwise idle minds active and good music in the background. Glers also has a large bay window complete with tables looking onto the street, a zany “tabloid” style menu asking the customers not to order the pizza because they don’t make any money on it, broken nickelodeons in each booth, an assortment of T-shirts hanging- from the ceiling,

There’s more. The floor plan is almost identical to JoeKool’s, the slogans used to advertise the place are the same and the strips of wood along the walls are in preparation for old pictures of movie stars (just a lucky guess,) Is the owner going to purchase the building to the north and build a convertible patio? We wish the stock market was this predictable. Maybe the management believes that these are necessary ingredients for a successful bar, Or maybe they think that no one would notice the similarities. However, judging by the attitudes of the staff and theamount of Mustang wear worn in the place, we believe they thought Waterloo geeks would be eternally grateful for the chance to be just like our neighbours sixty mil’es to the west. Joe Kool’s is successful because Mike Smith (the owner) created an unassuming bar and

There will always be enough “Gee, I wish I go,t into Western” people around for it to survive. Or the management could strap on the balls and create something original that reflects the unique identity of Waterloo and Laurier students rather than our purple colleagues in London.

Food production and distribution is linked to corporate concentration. Ask who owns Loblaws, Wonder Bread, Neilsen’s Chocolate and a whole host of food processing and distribution companies, as well as resource and investment divisions, and the name of corporate giant George Weston is repeated. Something so vital to our well-being is just another division of a business empire. The food system is structured to meet the priorities of corporations+ not to satisfy basic human needs. Food is also a global issue. The hungry of the developing world and Canadians who are forced to use food banks are victims of an economic structure in which the first consideration is profit instead of social justice. While the international food system causes problems for people in developed countries, the effects of the system can be devastating to the lives of people with less economic power. This is abundantly clear when we consider our supplies of coffee, bananas and other food imports from developing nations. In many of these countries the entire agricultural system has been organized and manipulated to guarantee the supply of these export items to the Western world. This means that peasants in developing countries are forced to grow food for export rather than food for themselves. It is important to recognize that this exploitative relationship is taking place within the context of an inherently unjust international economic order between the rich industrialized and [he poor developing countries. Price is one method of control, violence is another. For example, in El Salvador the structure of the food system is an important factor in the civil war. Export agriculture dominates El Salvador’s economy and has left large parts of the rural population landless and vulnerable to the manipulative practices of those who have gained control of the land. State sanctioned violence and terror have been a common p-art of the life for the Salvadorean people as they try to organize and improve living conditions on corporate farms. Those in control, both national and multinational companies, use their power to ensure that their economic interests are not jeopardized. Choosing Change Suddenly,:during your weekly shopping trip, guilt strikes, and you feel embarrassed to be implicated in this whole overwhelming problem. But take heart. We have the ability to make choices about elements in the food system and support practices we favour, Some of these choices can be personal, and some must involve collective efforts, The problems of food are rooted in many different institutions and structures. Together we are strong enough to make changes. At WPIRG we do research and plan educational activities about the food system and how it affects people’s daily lives - locally and globally. We participate in actions on campus and with the broader community. Being part of WPIRG can help strengthen that change. Join one of the WPIRG student workgroups, and inform yourself, then plan some educational events. Visit our Alternative Food Fair, October 2, in the Campus Centre, or take part in the speaker/discussion on the involvement of women and the food system in Guatemala called “The Granddaughters of Corn” on October 11. WPIRG is a student-funded and directed organization that carries out research, education ond action on environmental and social justice issues.

Make a friend, discover yourself by Michael H, Clifton Imprint staff To participants in the Friends volunteer program, friendship involves discovering yourself while also helping someone else discover independence and selfconfidence. For UW’s Paul Ter Steege and WLU’s Gary Van Lingen, being a Friend involves such a voyage .of discovery. Paul Ter Steege is a tbird-year environment and resobe studies student in Renison College. He described the eighteen-yearold program as similar to Big Brothers or Big Sisters, The commitment for Friends is for a much shorter period, however, as they need a three year commitment, while the Friends commitment is for one school year, ending in April. The Friends program involves pairing up school age children with caring adults in order to meet the special needs of the child, such as adapting to a new school environment and new classmates. In terms of personal rewards from the experience of working with the child he befriended, Paul recalled the pleasure involved in seeing his friend become more socially-adept and

conclusion of the pair’s relationship. Although this appears’at first to be an unduly harsh policy, the cause is correct and the benefit apparent - the program’s aims are to develop independence and social adeptness in the child, en-. couraging self-confidence and recognition of individual worth. If the relationship between the volunteer and the child begins to take precedence over those aims, the likely conclusion is that the child may begin to use the friend as a crutch, ultimately defeating

confident during their once or twice-a-week visits. The Friends program was set up in 1971 by the Canadian Mental Health Association and the Waterloo County Board of Education, Volunteers involved in field placement act as friends, not tutors, to children who have special difficulties adjusting at school; behavioral problems and personal problems. qre listed equally under the’ h&ding of ‘*special needs.” Friends matche.9the child with a suitable volunteer, one who shares similar interests and is prepared to relate to the child’s needs on his or her own level of understanding. The volunteer then spends anywhere from one to three hours each week with the child at the child’s school, though in a separate room from the class, becoming friends. The commitment ends by April of that school year, adapting to the university student’s schedule. When Paul first met his friend at his school in Waterloo, the boy would barely speak a word to him. Later, though, Paul learned that the boy would return to class excitedly telling his classmates about his new friend. In time the boy’s barriers were lowered and he began to communicate with Paul as wall. His progress with Paul so impressed the school’s principal that Paul was requested to return the next year to help the same child. Gary Van Lingen, a UW student who is currently active in the administration of the Friends program in the K-W area, explains that it is very rare for any volunteer to spend more than one school year with his or her assigned child. An essential part of the program is the definite

Volunteers learn to accept this aspect of the program, Gary said, and to grow more because of the experience. Initial training is provided for all volunteers. Gary is a fourth year student in honours medieval studies at UW after spending a year at WLU. During all five years in Waterloo, he has been involved with Friends. After two years in field placement, Gary joined the administrative side of Friends, helping local program co-ordinatoi’, Bette Simard, conduct interviews with potential volunteers

riate children. Patience, tolerance and an ability to relate to children are important qualities for a Friends volunteer, said Gary, Both he and Paul mentioned that the ideal -volunteer should remember what it was like to be a child, and be able to approach the child on his or her own level, as a compassionate friend. This is a primary element in the process of giving the child truly constructive assistance, To volunte&r or for more information. contact Bette Simard at

by Derek Weiler Imprint s?Pff Before Imprini existed, the UW student newspaper WQS caIJed “the chevron” [born 1966, died 1978). To term the circumstances surrounding the chevi ran’s demise “convoluted” would be to ridiculously understate the case. What follows is by necessity a somewhat simplified account of the fall of the chevr&. On September 24, 1976, the student council executive panicked. Since 1966, the chevron had served, for the most part admirably, as the University of Waterloo’s student newspaper. At that time, though, the growing feeling on campus (and especially among the Federation of Students) was that the chevron was . no longer fulfilling its duties as a student newspaper. Over the past summer, this problem with the chevron’s content had become the prime issue of student Federation politics. Shane Roberts was President of the Federation, and therefore he felt this tension perhaps more acutely than anyone else. The essential problem seemed to be in the chevron’s editorial bias. In the course of the past year or so, the paper had slipped into a spiral of ever-increasing Marxist-Leninist rhetoric and dogma, with objective reporting on the decline. As the chevron and the Feds became more and more alienated from each other, the situation showed every sign of getting worse instead of better. So much so that now, Roberts and his executive were prepared to deploy their final solution: the closure of the chevron. Doug Thompson was a member of Roberts’ executive student council on that Siptember 24 (some months later, he would succeed Roberts as Fed President). As Thompson remembers it, the problem with the chevron could be traced back to October of 1974. At the end of October in ‘74, a Renison College professor named Jeffrey Forest was dismissed, allegedly because of his propensity for spewing forth Marxist dogma in class, From the beginning, student sympathies were with Forest and his wife Marsha (who was also affiliated with Renison and told not to darken their doors again). In short time, the Renison Academic Assembly (RAA) formed to protest the firing. The RAA was a coalition of students and others who were sympathetic to the Forests. The chevron’s-coverage of the affair was reasonably objective at this point, although there was clearly a definite (and probably justified) anti:admina istration bias. However, “several key players became influential in the chevron at this time,” says Doug Thompson. Neil Docherty arrived on the UW campus because his wife was attending classes there. Larry Hannant arrived as a graduate ’ student in history. Both Docherty dnd Hannant became involved with the chevron, and in due time had become fairly prominent staff members. With a psychology prof named Doug Wahlsten (who only departed the UW campus recently), Docherty and Hannant were members of both the Communist Party of Canada [Marxist-Leninist] and an offshoot organization called the Anti-Imperialist Alliance (AIA).

Speciai issue of the chevron, Doug Thompson claims that Docherty and Hannant both arrived on campus in the first place because of the RAA affair, and that the AIA grew out of the RAA. “The RAA transformed from a group of students concerned about their profs into something much more,” he says. However, Chevrons published at the time repudiate these claims, and Larry Hannant insists today that both his and Docherty’s arrival on campus were coincidental. Whatever the case, it is certainly fair to say that by 1976, Docherty and Hannant had begun the process of “initiating the AIA into the chevron,” in Thompson’s words. The Renison issue was kept alive as long as possible, but even after it died out, the spirit of Marxism and anti-establishment politics remained. The problem was not that these things existed; it was that they dominated the paper to such a large extent, almost to the exclusion of all else.

way elected as editor-in-chief. Rodway had no affiliations with the AIA, and Roberts clsarly hoped that his presence would provide more of a balance to the paper, The situation was tense from the beginning, though.

Over the summer of 1976, things quickly went from bad to worse for the chevron. Docherty and Hannant treated ‘every minor mistake of Rodway’s as a sign of incompetence, repeatedly making non-confidence motions and calling for Rodway’s resignation. “Rodway was continually subjected to what I can only call abuse from Docherty and Mannant,” says Doug Thompson. “Rodway trJas a pathetic figure, really,” counters Larry Hannant. “He was a person caught in the middle.

Staff meetings became tense and fractious, and volunteer recruitment dwindled. The chevron matter became the prime issue of Federation politics, with “constant bitching from student reps at every student council meeting,” said Thompson. Finally, on September 24, 1976, Rodway resigned. “I was not wellin the first place, and the constant struggle had become a bit too much for me,” he says today.

was published to protest the decision. Locked doors won’t stop us, the lead headline trumpeted. The four-page issue was devoted entirely to protesting “the arbitrary and anti-democratic action of the Federation in closing the chevron”, and calling for action against Shane Roberts. Over the next nine months, the chevron continued to publish+ under the banner the free Chevron. Although the budget was frozen, the staff were able to cover production costs solely with ad revenue, says Larry Hannant. Unable to stop the chevron from publishing, the Feds entered the student paper sweepstakes with such publications as Other Voices and flullseye, designed as alternatives to (and critiques of) the chevron. And in November, the Feds published the first issue of “The Real Chevron”, an apoliticized version of

the only, real campus issue; the problem “couldn’t be ignored for even 15 minutes,” and showed no sign of being resolved. One of Shane Roberts’ last acts as Fed head was to instigate a student referendum concerning the chevron’s fate. The chevron claimed that the wording of the referendum was biased against allowing the paper to remain on campus, Nevertheless, the referendum went ahead on January 13, 1977, and the results did indeed come out against the chevron, However, this was essentially meaningless, as the staff still refused to vacate the office and continued producing the free chevron as before.

On February 27, 1977, there was another scuffle in CC 140, as Thompson and a handful of supporters forcibly evicted two chevron staffers from the office. Thompson says that Docherty and Hannant retaliated by “work(ing) me over with their knees.” In any event, the Chevrics continued to occupy CC 140. The situation remained tense for the rest of the school year, with the free chevron and The Real Chevron publishing simultaneously, and continued warring between the Feds and Chevrics. Then, in june of 1937, came an event that absolutelynobodyexpetted: the reinstatement of the chevron.

Essentially, Doug Thompson finally gave up. “I wasn’t prepared to fight any longer,” he says, The Chevrics “proved their point through tenaci ty.” Thus, he offered the chevron staff precisely what they had been clamoring for: reinstatement and investigation. (However, he offered them no cash reimbursement for the months that Docherty and Hess had been denied their salaries; they accepted the deal anyway.) In June of 1977 an agreement was drafted and signed by the attorneys for both the chevron and the Federation of Students. Thus, the chevron once again became the official student newspaper of the University of A “No Trespassing” notice issued by Federation of Students Waterloo.

Here the story of the chevron ends. But another story begins in its place: the story of Imprint. On March 31, 1978, as the chevron was in its death throes, two engineering students named John Chayahuck and Hugh Alley organized the first meeting of what would become Imprint. Bernie Roehl, an early Imprinter, recaIls that many of the first Imprint staffers were disgruntled former chevron staffers who felt the need for an “alternative student newspaper” (alternative to the chevron, that is). With the results of the chevron referendum, Imprint more or less became the official student paper, as of June 1978. It was produced under the supervision of the Journalism Club, with a small grant from the Feds and “the time and effort of a great deal of students,” said Roehl. However, Imprint’s founders soon saw the limitations of exist ing as a Federat ion-subsidized organization. Indeed, they

did not wisd to Leavethemselves wide open to interference as the chevron had. So it was that on September 29, 1979 (ten years ago today) Imprint became a fully licensed corporation, distinctly separate from the Federation of Students. In short, editorially the paper is completely free from interference by the Federation. All fee-paying UW students are members of the corporation. With the excception of a handful of salaried full-time staff, the paper is staffed entirely by student volunteers, The business side is handled by the elected Board of Directors. To find out more about how all this works (and how you can have a hand in it] you need only show up today, at the Annual General Meeting.

Iti i& CI subjective and highly personal in-depth @ok,at the topic of abortion. while the short examination in part one of the history of abortion, run last issue, provides some answers, the real story is found in deeper waters. The debate hinges on the conflict between two different perspectives. One side respects the newly fertilized ovum. The other respects URadult person’s autonomy, particularly decisions about an individual’s most personal possession - the body. There are many things about ourselves that we value highly.

Therefore, knowing when the embryo develops into what can. be scientifically defined as a truly functioning brain is very significant.

more accurate to say, a case of an individual dissenting against the expectations of the group. “Pro-Life” language estranges itself from 20th Century society. As an example, witness these excerpts from four “letters to the editor” from major news‘papers: “If an 2innocent life can’t be protected in the womb, what kind of selfish world are we living in?” “We’ll be judged by how we treat the weakest among us!

I am familiar with the staff and resources of WPIRG. I have worked in the resource centre [strongly recommended for reports and projects), with the recycling Workgroup and have conducted research for WPIRG. I am familiar with several aspects of environment al issues, especially acid rain. I also have an interest in development i’ssues both overseas and in Canada.

Marc Brzustowski: year 3, PhilosophyWPIRG’s role on campus and in the community as an independent and critical organization devoted to research, education and action on matters of public concern is, I believe, vital not only to the tasks WPIRG sets for itself, but to each student’s university education as well. WPIRG’s perspectives on the local and global-impacts of social and ecological problems are important if we wish to understand and address their causes and develop their solutions. As a WPIRG board member, I would stress each part of the WPIRG mandate, encourage students to empower themselves by becoming involved in the issues, and playan active role in working on such issues myself.

Jill Proud: year 1, Environment and Resource Studies The social and environmental issues facing us today are both complex and challenging. I feel that WPIRG is an excellent venue through which one can become more informed about these issues, an organization that really makes a difference. As a member of the Board of Directors I would be willing to devote the time and the effort needed to try to remedy some of the problems facing us-all. 1 honestly feel that toget-her we can continueto have a positive impact on our community.

In an effort to speed up development in Ontario, the provincial government is planning to change Ontario’s land use and development system by possibly adopting a new Sustainable Deconsolidate Planning and Environmental Assessment Acts, according to a leaked government document. “We made a commitment to cut out red tape and all the things that make it hard for builders to build things quickly”, Chaviva Hosek, then Minister of Housing, said in May. The objective of the proposal is to “reform our land use and development systern” by eliminating barriers tu development, such as phasing out the Environmental Assessment Board. Angry environmentalists believe that the new act would set back their efforts at least fifteen years. Environmental groups such as Greenpeace, Pollution Probe, and the Canadian Environmental Law Association have signed a two page document that

velopment is a necessity, not an option” and that “land development issues, such as the Rouge Valley lands, (involves] difficult trade-offs in policy objectives and values”. If implemented, the Act would limit public involvement and shift more of the government’s responsibilities to the municipalities. Regional governments will be responsible for developing “urban structure plans based on the Greater Toronto Area model” and would “let mature, politically accountable municipalities make their own mistakes”. The environment ministry was not aware of the ProPosali L which was drawn up by officials from the ministries of municipal affairs, housing and natural resources, and the cabinet.

Hello! My name is Michael Matthew, and I work in the Landlord and Tenant Information Office (LTIO). The :LTIO is located in the north-east corner of the Campus Centre (CC) - the one closest to the PAC -in room 150B. It is staffed by student volunteers whose primary mandate is to provide guidance and assistance to other students who have problems with or questions about landlordtenant relations, although other areas are dealt with. The purpose of this bi-weekly column is to promote greater awareness among the university community of tenants’ rights and obligations. To that end, questions of a general nature concerning this area are welcomed. They can be placed in the envelope on the door of the LTIO, and need not be signed. More specific questions are best dealt wilh by coming into the office, or by phoning the LTIO at 888-4634: frequently the complexities involved make it difficult to print one answer that will be the correct one for all similar situations.

Applicability Q: Who does the Landlord Tenant Act (LTA] apply to? A: The LTA applies to all renters who do not live with the owner of their building or with a member o-fthe owner’s immediate family. However, even if the renter lives with the owner, the LTA will still apply as 16ng as the tenant does not share kitchen or bathroom facilities with the owner. Certain types of accommodation are not covered bp the LTA; these include shared accommodation provided by an educational institution where decisions are made after consultation with a residents’ council - i.e. . Village One and Village Two - and hotels and motels. I It is very important to note that this column answers questions assuming that the LTA applies.

Too hip to live ,from their brand new full-length LP Up To Here. b Lead singer Gordon Downie, the “toughest guy on the girls’ playground”, quite obviously enjoyed himself as he spent an entire number boxing with his microphone stand. He also played air-guitar when bassist Gord Sinclair broke a string early in the concert. Guitarists Paul Langlois and Bobby Baker also played prominent roles as they teamed up to provide a smoldering attack.

Maria!

Opening the show for The Hip were The Phantoms, a Canadian band who “love to play the blues.” A distinct portion of the audience was there specifiizally to see them. Their frontman could wail on the harmonica like a banshee, and he joined The Tragically Hip on stage when they slipped into a cover of Suzy

by j&n Zacbariah Imprint etaff Having heard so many different things about Toronto band National Velvet, I decided to set aside all preconceptions until they took the stage last Friday at the Bombshelter. This, as it turned out, was a pretty good idea because the whole affair was an unexpectedly pleasant surprise, On their latest single, 68 Hours, the Velvets lead singer, Maria de1 Mar, sings, “I am the world’s most passionate girl,” and she proved it beyond a doubt, bugging her eyes, twisting her unique body, ‘and dancing like a mutant goth dervish as the band plowed through material old and new. Most of it I’d never heard, but each song seemed relatively diqtinctive; their material is strong and their musicianship is sound. Add to this de1Mar’s extraordinary stage presence and exuber-

I couldn’t stay for the whole thing because the smoke was bothering my throat, but I was there long enough to know that everyone had as good a time during the second set as the first. 1 In-between, de1 Mar signed autographs, proving to be as sociable offstage as she was on. In concert, she made contact with various members of the audience, like myself, while the band droned on in a most competent manner behind her. Special mention must be made of the bassist’s outfit, which was almost Gwar-worthy in i.ts gladiatorial resplendence.

Bands like Mihor Threat and Government Issue gave punk a fresh breath of air while demonstrating a social conscience in their lyrics. The D.C. underground scene has come a long way since then.

From here on in, a wide spectrum is covered: there’s an acoustic anthem from three (not the ELP bandj, soulful hard rock from’ Kingface, abrasive haidcore from Christ on a Crutch andpop-punk from Marginal Man, while Red Emma sounds eerily , reminiscent of Jane’ Siberry. Soulside turn in the best track, a powerful blast culled from their excellent Trigger E.P. The lyrics bring back punk’s social activism, which has seemingly been lost in the noisy obscurity of today’s “alternative” music. While some of the bands here remain overly idealistic and naive, the revailing sentiment of the neeB for change is delivered forcefully. The record itself is a project masterminded by a IX. social action group called Positive Force. Proceeds from record sales are being given to the American Civil Liberties Union and to a group that helps the homeless in DC. Fugazi are one band on State of the Union that has been building a name for itself as of late, and their second E.P. Margin Walker does not disappoint. Granted that three of the six tracks nearly slip into the mediocrity of raw, grinding, guitar burnout, Burning Too and Promises stand out as the band’s best tunes to date. Promises provides bitter commentary on the meaninglessness “Promises. are of rhetoric: shit/we speak the way we breath Free me from this give and &kkl free me from this great debate.” The music is brooding and melodic at the same time. Burning TOO is a condemnation of man’s apathy towards the “Anytime but environment. now/ Anywhere but here/ Anyone but me/ I’ve got to think about mv own life” mocks the opening ierse, before slamming

Pete is singing Came Home With Me Baby, a song about picking up girls. “I was looking for somebody/ you’ve got the body I want,” says Pete. The song ends, but it doesn’t. There’s no space between the songs, just little keyboard riffs, or drum machine riffs. It’s a nonstop disco adventure. The next song has Pete explaining the nature of their relationship to some girl,& probably the one he went home fiith in the last song. The next song has our hero telling her to “Get out of my house.

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff It seems a little premature, maybe even reactionary+ to say that a band’s second album shows them to be in a rut, but that’s exactly the position The Razorbacks find themselves in with Live A little, the followup to the enormously popular Go To Town. Of course+ the problem is not confined to The Razorbacks; only a handful of bands, such as Thin White Rope, Giant Sand, and probably Blue Rodeo are doing anything remotely different with the basic country-rock/rockabilly form, and if The Razorbacks have a failing, it’s that they play basic countryrock and rockabilly with a purist’s zeal. Normally, this would be a selling point for a band, and it has been, along with the exuberant fun of their live show, their biggest drawing card; but when you’re dealing with an inherently limited form like rocka-

billy, energy and good humour become a compensation for, instead of a complement to, originality and solid song writing. * Add to that’their adherence to their $ght, strummed acoustic style, and you even lose the option of guitar solos,-arguably the one thing that kept every Stray Cats song from sounding like Rock This Town. And while we’re picking nits here, what happened to all the energy from Go To Town? The usually redoubtable Chris Spedding is back behind the boards, but this time out, he has effec-, tively taken all the bite from The Razorbacks, leaving Tony Kenny’s voice crooning far too politely over the innocuous wash of acoustic guitars and strolling bass lines - the only tracks that really heat up are the ones Spedding leaves alone: a surprisingly good cover of My Generation and the genuinely scruffy Didn’t Your Mamma Tell You, sung by Donny Cartwright are the only remnants of rowdy nights of revelry ai: the Beverley in an album filled with milk-and-cookiesfun. Yeah, your parents might even like it. Still, this is a record thatrockabilly purists and completists would probably not want to be without, as their ire will not be raised by the pernicious effects of diverse influences contaminating The Razorbacks’ rockabilly. As for the rest of you, Live A Little is pleasant enough, but not pleasing.

If you’re in T-O., Jr. Gone Wild are playing the El Mocambo and Rocktopus at the Apocalypse. Guelph is the place to be on Saturday for a performance by Washington D.C.‘s Fugaxi which will be their first time in Canada. Also appearing are local celebs Noise Floor, Rise from Montreal, and Shades Apart from New Jersey. Four bands for $6’at the Loft which is downtown near the Albion (who never send us listings), Fugazi will also be in Toronto at the Rivoli on Sunday. On Tuesday, the Washington Squares from NYC are playing TAPS, of all places. They’ll also be at the Traaheteria in Guelph on Wednesday and “the Musical Monarch of Tex-Mex” Joe King Carassco and the Crowns will be in town for a gig at Phil%. Also on Wednesday, the Rivoli hosts a super-alternative bill featuring The Flaming Lips and Steel Pole Bathtub. There are two interesting shows in Toronto on Thunrday: Adrian Belew is at the Diamond and Homestead artists Nice Strong Arm are at the Apocalypse. Additional notes: Public Enemy tickets went on sale over a week ago and if you don’t have yours, you better move fast (they’re playing Oct. 23 at the Twist).

by John Hymers Imprint staff In the future every successful individual will be like Zelig; the mass production and dissemination of information will result in the creation of two actions: acceptance or rebellion. And most of us aren’t ready for the latter, so the former shall be the rule. Automatons and software shall guide and lead us. We are damned. Thus the Zelig principle: we must learn how to adju’st to all situations. Without that vital skill, no advancement is possible, either professional, personal, or relational. So those of us who chose to lead what we call lives will have to select some philosophy which best contains our beliefs, our raison d’etre. And those of us with our feet firmly rooted in our own reality, shunning that of the consensus, will choose severism. Simply put, severism is the belief that for something to be good, it must be overwhelming, non-subtle, radical; hence severe. All things will be judged by

such a principle. Severism is the natural rebellion from our robotic future. Robotics ensure banality, boredom. Severism alone will deliver that deviance that we all need and crave. Of course. what we accept as culture will take a beating. It already has. Expose was on the Today Sholv as I write these words: popularity rests not with the people, but with the producers. It is a short jump from culture to life: from music to integrity. And of course this self-indulgent rant has nothing to do with Dish, the new Asexuals album. In fact, I applaud you if you have read this far. But the simple problem with this album is that it is absolutely featureless, so I had to find something to write about. I mean, I like Dish. That’s all, though. There is not much there to sink my teeth into, and with the example they set by their first album, that is one hell of a disappointment. Dish is a lot like Pleased to Meet Me, the Replacements’ final decent album. The vocals are virtually identical, and the music is similar, though more gritty. Yet, I don’t wanna hear the Replacements when I stick an Asexuals album on the slab. And yes, li know about the Doughboys and how they carried on that Asexual banner. More power to them. But as for the Asexuals; hell, Diah is fine and I shall continue to listen to it, but .a. Lord, it’s just not severe.

# musical skill

musical skill are interchangeable. Music&l skill is a product of slavish devotion to chromatic concepts and music theory. * Musical skill, no matter how one chooses to express it, is related to having an idea within your head of a certain sound which you want to achieve, and being able to use the tools at your disposal to achieve it. Whether the tool is as simple as yqur voice or as complex as a massive church organ, the goal is the same. Years of musical training mean nothing if the essential drive and ability to make music are lacking. What seems to aggravate the guardians of conventional music ideology most is that sampling, the cornerstone of rap music, requires no musical training or sEciII. d However, . -rapm music, in order to be good, does require musical talent to assemble and arrange the various sounds into a coherent, list enable whole. A single close listen to the dense collage of sound and rhythm as contained in an LP like Public Enemy’s It Takes a Nation of Millions . . . should be enough to convince anyone, that, like it or hate it, large amounts of musical talent go into making a good rap record. yurther, though the rhymes of a sexist dick like Tone Lot may be written at a kindergarten level of complexity, many other rap artists construct rhythmic lyrical structures which are infinitely more complex than anything else being recorded today.

While the music of the Beatles always retained some semblance of a connection to their rhythm ‘n’ blues roots, the excesses which would follow - like the pseudo-classical pomp of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Genesis and their ilk - was rotten with the stench of the death which

surely comes with cutting off roots. Within these excesses, however, we find the origin of the

snobbery against music which is percussive and danceable, of music which values simplicity of function over complexity of form. Bo Diddley and Jerry Lee Lewis never had to worry whether or not their music required large amounts of musical skill to r,eprody e or whether or not it subjugate B the idea of melody to rhythm. What was important was that it cocked and that people enjoyed dancing to it. Likewise, EPMD, Eric B. an& Rakim and IIe la Soul know that the primary function of their music is to make people dance and that any considerations of profundity and melodic merit are secondary.

he doesn’t get enough time on the screen. Even the amusing scene of the stolid Japanese detective singing an American pop song while wearing a cheesy tie ian’t enough to safe this part. Kate Capshaw is also in this movie, a-lthough you will probably have to watch it twice to find out where. Capshaw “stars” as Joyce Kingsley, an American working as a hostess in a Japanese club, Although she shows up on screen five times (tops), she does manage to help Michael Douglas out of a tricky situation.

way is one of the best in the entire movie. Douglas and Matsuds are perfect opposites and the director exploits this to its fullest. Hack Rain was directed by Ridley Scott, whose past credits include Alien and the highly acclaimed Blade Runner, Like Blade Runner, Black Rain portrays a world of dark sub-cultures, gangs and technology. The only light in the shadows is that of neon. Ridley’s imagery is reason enough to pay the admisdon. That’s why it’s so unfortunate that Black Rain lacks substance. The plot is simple, some characters are two-dimensional and it lacks any sort of original twist. Barring this detriment, however, the movie is still worth seeing, It is a kaleidoscope of sound, colouk and motion with visual imagery crashing in from every side. The action doesn’t stop and it has that internal. rhythm which is found in all good movies. Black Rain should not be seen, it should be experienced.

The Season’s Smartest that he tapes women in erotic situations and probably sells the tapes, right? After all, why was he so cryptic when asked about his source of income? But again, anybody drawing such conclusions is wrqmg. It is fitting that the truth of the movie hides behind the bravado of the rest of the title and is missed. The whole point is about the lies we teIl our friends, the lies we tell our loved ones and, most importantly, the lies we tell ourselves. The sex and the videotape serve as tools to explore these lies.

by Jeff Smith Imprint staff

With a provocative, kinky title like Sex, Lies and Videotape, the casual observer might expect this movie to be ki&y, pse;dopornographic fluff. In fact, many ‘people will probably see the movie and come away thinking the same thing&fter all;it’s just about a guy w&o sleeps arouhd with his wife’sR&ster, while she starts spending time with his childhood best friend. But then one would have to stop and ask the question, “If it’s ell about sex, why isn’t there any nudity?” Indeed, the movie is Think about it, What one topic fraught with both resolved and are people most hung up about? unresolved sexual tension, but Most consumed by?

The mote-rcade s’ped on Libra By Don DeLiIlo Lester & Orpen Dennys 448 pages

by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff You may recall, in the midst of all the “Who really shot Kennedy?” hysteria surrounding the 25th anniversary of JFK’s assassination last fall, the release of a novel dealing with that very question. Which is to say that this review of Don DeLillo’s eighth novel, Libra, is even more shamelessly out of date than the standard, woefully unpunctual Imprint review, but what with term papers, incompletes, etc. weighing h,eavy on my mind for the past year, engagements to keep, etc., well . . .

’

All right, enough whining: Librtl is quite a brilliant novel, and this reLiew is so old, it’s out in paperback already, so let’s just call this a review of a new release in paperback, hmmm? With much decorated novels like white Noise and End Zone under his belt, DeLillo has moved to the forefront of American letters and established a reputation as an acute, acerbic observer of an ailing society strangling itself with its own hypocrisy; with Libra, he steps into possibly the single most mythologized event of American history: the Kennedy assassination. Speculation about CIA and/or KGB complicity in the shooting and, most importantly, just who Lee Harvey Oswald really was is nothing new: the wrinkle DeLillo adds is creating a probing and

A boy and his gun largely sympathetic biography and psyche for Oswald, o&e of the most reviled of the long American tradition of outlaws. DeLillo casts Oswald as an underprivileged, idealistic youth brimming with half-formed ideas which are easily seduced and plied by Marxist theory. A constant source of perplexity for his long-suffering, abandoned mother, Marguerite, Oswald’s upbringing is almost archetypal

of the disaffected youth. It’s replete with truancy, fights, and an early fascination with guns fostered by David Ferrie, an air force type who views the milit ary, discipline, training and power relations with a mystical, near-poetic intensity. It’s an frustratingly uneventful life for Oswald until he enlists in the Marines. In rapid succession he manages to get stationed in Japan, wound him-

Feeling that Castro has gained the upper hand in the Bay of Pigs aftermath, they need a Communist sympathizer to nearly kill Kennedy, thus making Castro blameworthy and justifying a plot against him. Oswald is recruited for t!le task and is authored by the conspirators who concoct for him a whole new biography. The mystery of Oswald deepens since he is not even a product of his own creation; DeLillo thus shows us how any perception of Oswald, including ours and his own, are merely constructs, At this point, Libra would seem to have the makings of an interesting, perhaps even riveting novel: what makes it a brilliant novel is DeLillo’s remarkable gift for language and character. We see neurotic, paranoid, small-time hoods like Jack Ruby, who gets tearful at the sight of Old Glory one minute and’then haggles over the wages of the dancers working his strip joints the next, all the time worrying that all wdmen think he looks gay.

The president’s skull is missing not exactly rival Thomas Pvnchon, but there is a Pynchon-fike air to the carnival df language; each character has his own cadence and rhythm: from Ruby’s scatterbrained rantings to Oswald’s deeply considered utterantes to the strange rhythm and idiosyncrasy of Marguerite’s speech. - Incredibly, for a novel of Borne 450 pages, ihere are no superfluous words: every sentence carries some sort of revelation. . The other element which carries Libra well above the rest of the espionage-thriller class is the lack of any clearly defined ending. Yes, Kennedy is killed, and yes, i!: seems as though it is Oswald who kills him, but the point where the plot changes from an attempted miss on Kennedy to an attempt on his life is curiously buried, as if the conspirators became the servants to the plot in another Pynchon-like twist. All this, and an absolute pleasure to read, too. And remember, you still have time to read it by the observation of the 26th anniversary.

Imprint, Friday, September 29, 1989 m

, by Rlich Nichol Imprint staff It was too good to believe. The UniverLity of Waterloo football team was dominating play against a team that was ranked second in Canada three weeks ago and sixth ranked before this game. With the two minute warning flag up in the fourth quarter, the Warriors were beating the Guelph Gryphons 2% 17 and looked to be on their way to ending their 32 game skid and pulling off one of the biggest upsets in OLJAA football history. But it was only a field of dreams as Guelph scored one last touchdown with a minute left on the clock, winning 249 21. Waterloo was supposed to be blown but by the highly-touted Guelph squad, but the Warriors shut down the incredible passing wizardry of Gryphon quarterback Mike Shoemaker. Ncit only did pass defence improve dramatically, but every unit of the team did well. “We played a lot better than in previous weeks,” commented a dejected head coach Tuffy Knight adding, “we have to be the best football team that hasn’t won a game in. five years. We had a few breakdowns late in the game and that cost us. You can’t let up the pressure against a team like Guelph. Our team is getting better and somebody is going to get it soon.” It was a heartbreaking lose both for the Waterloo players and the 1200 plus fans that fought the chilly winds and rain of Hurricane Hugo for two hours in the stands at Seagram Stadium. “The support from the student body and the school newspaper has been great,” thanked Knight. “The large crowds really inspire the team and makes a differedce in our home games like the Guelph and Western games.” Waterloo started the first offensive drive of the game but after the first 10 plays the Warriors were forced to kick on 3rd and 7 from the Guelph 32 yard line. Peter Tchir tried to kick a field goal into the gale force winds of Hugo but the ball fell a couple of yards short. With 1% left in the first quarter, Waterloo scored the first major on a first ,and ten posses&on. Warrior starting pivot Brian Lenart handed the ball off to

Peter Tchir kicked the convert and Waterloo led 7-0. At the end of the first quarter, Guelph had no first downs and Shoemaker had only completed 1 of 6 pass attempts. Two minutes into the second frame, Waterloo defensive lineman Mark Yarme1 got the Warrior fans wound up by sacking Shoemaker for a loss of four, yards. But Guelph recovered and three plays later, on the Waterloo one yard line, Shoemaker tossed the ball to wide receiver Dan Tocher in the end zone to knot the game at seven. The extra point was kicked by Dave Bromstein. With 3:20 remaining in the half and Guelph in possession, Shoemaker threw the ball intended for slotback Bob McLay. But McLay read the running

pattern wrong and the ball landed in the hands of Warrior Blair Greenly for the interception. . Waterloo kept possession of the ball to halftime, with Tchir collecting field goals of 44 and 16 yards. The score at the half was Wate%loo13 Guelph 7. The half time stats showed that Waterloo

UW accumulated twice the offense yardage of Guelph in first half had accumulated almost twice the offensive yardage of Guelph. A report from the Guelph dressing room stated that an unidentified Gryphon had busted ribs from a spearing incident, Things were rather quiet until the middle of the third quarter when a controversial call allowed Guelph to keep possession. Now I don’t know the OUAA rulebook inside and out, but I’m pretty sure the referee screwed up the call. Gryphon running back Chuck Sims caught a Shoemaker pass, ran 3-4 yards and then dropped the ball. d In my book that ball was a d. when Waterloo pounced on have been their ball. But tht! &bras ruled it incomplete. Why, I can’t figure out. In the final minutes of the third quarter, Waterloo began a second touchdown drive, highlighted by a long bomb pass from Lenart to wide receiver Hayden Vialva for a 48 yard gain. On the Guelph one yard line, Chartier hopped over the scrimmage crowd for his second TD of the game. Lenart passed wide to T.j. Diehl for the two point convert+ widening the lead to 21-7. On Guelph’s next play after the kick, Shoemaker threw the ball to Sims who found an opening between three Warriors for a 73 yard touchdown romp. At the six minute mark of the fourth quarter, Waterloo fumbled the ball and Guelph recovered it at the Warrior 10 yard line. The Gryphons capitalized on the turnover when Sims ran in for a six ytird major. About a minute later,

Guelph added a 22 yard field goal to their totals, narrowing the gap to 21-17. With just under three minutes remaining, Waterloo All-Canadian linebacker Dave Shaw nearly intercepted a Shoemaker pass, putting the Gryphons at second down and twenty. In a mixed up call on the Warriors part, Shoemaker threw a long pass complete to Frank Marof for a 47 yard gain. Five plays later, Sims ran from 14 yards out, dodged a couple of Warrior defenders to steal the win from Waterloo with a minute to go, 24-21. “Shoemaker is one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Our guys shut him down pretty well,” commented Knight. “We’ve got a lot of talented young kids this year. I was particularly impressed with the performance of defensive backs Lionel Felix and Keith Reardon. Keith moved to.a starting role for this game. Shoemaker completed only 10 of 23 pa&es, as Epelph collected 128 yards passing and 212 yards rushing for a total of 340 offensive yards. Comparatively, Lenart threw six completions on ten attempts for 118 yards in the air and 238 yards on the ground, edging Guelph in offence with 356 yards. The Warriors next game is Saturday afternoon in Toronio against cellar dweller neighbors York, who also share an 0-3 record. Waterloo should win this game. UW is slightly favoured and is statistically better than the Yeomen. “York is a little bit stronger and bigger than Guelph defensively but they have a much weaker offence than the Gryphons,” said Knight. We can’t be giving away the easy touchdowns.” Kickoff time at York is 2 p.m. A fan bus to the game will be leaving at 1200 noon sharp from East Campus Hall. Round trip bus tickets are on sale for $5 at the FED office and at the Engineering Society office. The football tickets will be sold at the game for $4. Face paints and clappers will be distributed on the buses free of charge ion the way down. Don’t forget to wear the Warrior black and yellow and make lots of noise!

Ruggers urwbeaten in division 11 by Peter Brown Imprint Staff The Waterloo Warriors Rugby team is improving at just the right time. Tomorrow they will travel to Queen’s to meet the only other team in Division One who has not ye, lost. The Warriors improved \B @r-position as one of the strongest teams in the OUAA with two impressive victories this week, stretching their record to 3-0. Last Saturday, there were no offensive fireworks or spectacular comebacks - just solid rugby with a work ethic. This is what the Warriors were all about in their 10-3 victory at York. They welcomed the return of Paul Toon to the lineup, but his name was only one of fiftee.n on the pitch, as the Warriors continued where they left off in the second half against Western the week before. They played intensely and cohesiveIy and it showed. The Yeomen dominated in size, but the Warriors used their heads. The strums were roughly even, with each team winning most of their’ own put-ins. But the difference was the team play of the Warriors, led by the persistence of Toon and Steve Slater. These two homed in on the ball and launched them-selves like guided missiles into rucks and mauls, while York consistently found themselves offside. With the wind advantage in the first half, York adopted the obvious defensive strategy, and

kicked a lot. This was ineffective against the Warriors, as Marc Cohoon and Peter Keir made an art of catching kicks and leading the counter-attack. The wind wreaked havoc with the kicking game of both teams, as York made only one of the four penalty kicks awarded to them in the first half. Waterloo had a scoreless half, and just like last week, were left with 40 minutes t6 win. But this time, the score against them was only 3-0, not good news forYork when the wind would turn in Waterloo’s. favour. Like last week, the second half was all Waterloo’s. The lone try of the game was scored on a beautiful dumbie loop. Waterloo retrieved the ball from a midfield strum, and Darren Wilton broke free; passing to Hayden Belgrave, who faked back to Wilton. Belgrave passed back inside instead, to Cohoon, the looping blindside winger. Cohoon ‘outran the befuddled York defence to score the try. Cohoon was later robbed of another try by a poor call. He had plunged over the try-line, and slammed the ball down, only to have it bounce out of his grasp. The official called it back as a knock-on, seeming to forget that downward pressure on the ball is all that is needed to award the try*

Luckily, this call did not affect the outcome. Waterloo did not let it, holding York scoreless for the rest of the match, and adding 6 more points on a penalty kick

and a kick for goal by Wilton. This made the final 10-3. The Warrior kicker later hit the left goalpost on another penalty kick attempt, not a problem because of the control that Waterloo enjoyed over the game. York did mount a threat late in the going, makingi a good run deep into Waterloo’s end, only to have Belgrave force a try-saving knock-on behind the Warrior try-line. Saturday’s Junior Varsity game saw the Waterloo side dominate their York counterparts 17-O. On Wednesday, Waterloo began their game against Guelph ,with much the same excited jitters as been in their earlier matches. But they soon settled down to intense rucking and mauling, and excellent running that powered them to a 19-3 victory over the Gryphons. Opening play was sloppy by both teams, and opportunities were squandered at both ends of the pitch. Finally, Waterloo opened the game’s scoring for the first time this season. Wilton made an amazing 45 metre penalty kick, the ball barely clearing the crossbar. Though this seemed to wake up the Waterloo side, the score stood at $&at halftime. In the second half, Waterloo opened up the _ throttle and struck early and ‘often. They. started getting the ball out to the wingers more quickly, and it soon paid off. The home side overlapped perfectly after a strum, and suddenly the ball

7-o.

Guelph responded with intendriving to Waterloo’s tryline but coming away with only an easy penalty kick, giving a 7-3 score. But this was all, to be heard from the Gryphons this day, as the Warriors poured it on, Fischer scored again, and Jim Closs and Peter Keir capped off -fine games by each adding a try. The Warriors had put the game away, leading 19-3. Frustration on both sides led sity,

.so.ccer scoring on a penalty shot. This game ended up in a tough 2-1 loss for the Warriors. The team seems to be playing quite well in the early season, moving the ball around with confidencg and finesse. With some more work on finishing touches, the Warriors should be able to improve their record. Much appreciation goes to the fans who came out and sat in the cold to cheer the Warriors on. This weekend the Warriors play the Alumni Team on Saturday and travel to Guelph on Sunday to face the Gryphons. So if you’re out in Guelph on Sunday, come out and support us.

Playing in a combination of sun, rain and hail on Saturday, the man gave a tough one up to Windsor on a questionable gdal scored midway through the second half, making the final score 1-O.

Soccer team travels west

Athenas split weekend games by Lynn Hrryles Imprint staff In the early morning of Saturday, September 23 the Athena soccer team tr elied to the University of Win %”& to take on’the Lancers on their homecoming weekend. Thg%usic ‘and crowdi must have inspired the visitors as the Athenas continued their unbeaten streak by winning 4-l. Waterloo native Anita Toogood opened the scoring on a hard, low shot to the far post from a through ball by Laurie Whyte. Windsor came back to tie

the game, but Catherine Hollifield came right back to put the Athenas up by one. The wind was a majbr factor and in the second half, keeper Tammi Winchester punted a long ball that was misheaded by the Windsor fullback. Striker Leanne Wiens &ed her speed and hussle to tip the ball past the diving Windsor keeper to get her second goal of the season.

Waterloo was awarded a throw-in deep in Windsor’s end, and Kerry Jameson’s excellent long throw into the box was back-headed but not cleared by

to take on the Mustangs. It seemed Western could do no wrong in this game as the ball continued to take hometown bounces all afternoon. The Athenas ended up on the short end of the score card, losing their first game of the season 5-0. The Athenas record stands at 1-1-2 in league play as they get ready to take on McMaster at Columbia Field Sunday October 1 at LOO p.m. McMaster is currently ranked fourth in the nation and this should be a good test for the young and talented Athenas. Come out Sunday and cheer them on!!

Tennis opener by MarceHa Krajny The women’s varsity tennis team opened yet another wondrous season, under the guidance of long-time coach, Sandy Macovik. This year’s team has ’ the thankless task of carryingon the winning traditions of previous years. After a string of OWIAA bronze medals, this year’s five returning members and two newcomers attempt to go beyond the bronze. With a decisive first win (9-o at Windsor) this Athena team has accepted the challenge. They not only had to battle their border-hugging opponents, but the elements as well, as Hurricane Hugo endlessly swept over the courts. Despite the odds, our girls literally blinded their opponents (with pink, yellow, and green fluorescent team shirts] to kick-off what hopes to be yet another winning season. What to look forward to in the upcoming season: - Will we ever be able to say “Karen” without two heads turning? - Will Mary and Paula ever get the car keys again? ’ - How many team members will Shanika kick in her sleep? - Will Marcella remember her toothpaste or will she always borrow others? - Does Fiona really practice in Hamilton? -Will Sandy fall for the charms of Art, York’s coach? These questions and more will be answered as the season pro-. gresses.

Jays all get good grades by Al Folliott

Ernie Whitt

/ Pat Border8 -

Catcher:

The Toronto Blue Jays have had a successful regular season because of some strong individual performances which resulted in excellent team ploy. Here is a “report curd“ on how the individuaI Jays fared in 1989: Fred McGriff -let base: A more powerful hitter does not exist, League leading 36 homers and a ,400 on base average. Still learning at the plate which makes his potential extremely scary. Weak fielder, but is also improving in this area. Grade: A Nelson Liriano / Manny Lee - 2nd base:

Sclid defence from both. Very adept at turning the double play. Average hitters for their position. Combined stats of 87 RBIs and 78 runs. Speed a great asset. Grade: B Tony Fernandez - Shortstop: Simply the best defensive shortstop the game has ever seen, including Ozzie Smith. Makes difficult plays look so easy. Is at pace to set record for fewest errors in a season by a shortstop. An off year at the plate but still above average at his position. Grade: A Kelly Gruber: 3rd baae: Injuries have hurt his stats in the second half. Has a .290 average and 81 runs scored. A solid year defensively. Overall, has lived up to expectations. Grade: B

In baseball today, there are very few catchers who are capable hitters. The Jays are lucky to have two of them. Have combined for 71 RBIs so far. Both are average defensively although Borders has shown an impressive arm at times. Grade: B George Bell - Outfield: An M.V.P. type year for Bell. An excellent hitter with runners in scoring position and is of the best two strike hitters around. Has 101 RBls, .300 batting average, and only 57 strikeouts. Defense has improved, although still lousy. (Thank God we aren‘t grading his temper tantrums and other off the field antics.) Grade: A -

Junior Felix - Outfield: A terrible second half after a quick start. 100 strikeouts in only 400 at bats. Average has dropped 40 points since June. Great baserunner, but often overruns balls in the outfield.

Dave Stieb - Pitcher: Another solid year. Most wins on staff this year and in his career. Still has one of the most wicked sliders in the game. Grade: B

Lloyd Moseby - Outfield: Despite a late season surge, a terrible year at the plate. Only 41 RBIs and a ,300 on base average. Poor for a lead off hitter. Defensively is still good, but one of the worst arms in the game. Has never thrown out a runner at home in his career. Grade: D P Mookie Wilson - Outfield: The Jays M.V.P. after he joined the club in early August. A smart player who runs the bases with the best of them. Has had 12 steals this season without being caught and has a ,309 batting average. Does everything well. Best leader the Jays’ have ever had. Grade: A

& Stewart

The Canadian Publishers

Jimmy Key - Pitcher: An up and down year caused by injuries. Most innings pitched on staff, despite injury layoff, Has come back nicely since returning from the DL. Grade: B John Cerutti - Pitcher: Jays most consistent starter this year. A definite asset to the team. Grade: B Mike Flanagan - Pitcher: An off year. Appears to be on the way out. ERA of over 4.00 (worst on staff). Grade: D -

Todd Stottlemyre i Pitcher: Has finally shown the potential everybody knew he had. Pat Gillick is now thankful he didn’t trade Stottlemyre. Record of 6-2 since being called up in late July. Grade: B Tom Henke - Pitcher: A strong second half after a poor start. Has 106 strikeouts and 2.07 ERA. Grade: B -Cito Gaston Manager: The Jays have the best record in the American League since he took over. Need I say more? Grade: A l
