by Renate Staedel _ Imprint staff Labatt’s Road Scholarship Chief Instructor Gary Magwood and crew provided-some of WV’S most entertaining teaching this past weekend. But that’s only if you enjoy skidding and sliding over slick pavement in somebody else’s car. The course combined in-class demonstrations video, in-car and hands-on practice to teach UW students how to handle emergency driving situations. And to answer those jesters in the crowd - no, you were defi~ nitely not allowed to drink before exorcising your driving prowess: The first words out of former champion racer Gary Magwood’s mouth were “Don’t drink and drive.“.Magwood lectured to a packed hall Thursday, September 28, bringing to light some interesting statistics, information and tips. For example, a West German study showed that if drivers had one more second to react, 80 per cent of accidents wouldn’t happen. Another study of a stretch of the 401 between Cambridge and London ‘indicates that,the major cause, and according to Gary, the stupidest cause of fatal auto collisions, is swerving into oncoming traffic after going onto the shoulder. Instead of abruptly swerving across two lanes, get off the gas, regain control, check your mirrors, signal and slowly ease back onto the road. Most of Magwood’s tips are designed to provide you with that one extra ~econd to avoid collision. Or as k Jary said, “If you’re paying attention, there will always be a softer target.” 1 One of the ideas Magwood introduced is to angle your mirrors more widely. And make su.re your car has a right side mirror. Increasing the mirror angle adds about 20 per cent to your vision, “The sides of your car are travelling with you,” Magwood pointed out, “You don’t need to see them.” This mirror placement virtually eliminates blind spots, By the time the passing car leaves the mirrur, it enters your peripheral vision. HOW you sit and hold the steering wheel are two more important aspects of safe driving, Make sure you sit close enough to the pedals so your right heel stays on the floor when moving your foot from gas to brake. Holding the steering wheel correctly is obviously vital, judging from the emphasis in-

Numerous wrists were slapped during the in-car sessions for holding the steering wheel with a wrist on top of the wheel. “There is no way you can react quickly enough or have complete control over the car unless you have both hands on the wheel,” Magwood stated. During the lecture, Gary also poked fun at drivers holding onto the sideview mirror or the roof (“obviously afraid they’ll lose part of the car,“) myopic types who cling to the top of the _ wheel, and lap steerers. Proper hand positioning is at nine and three o’clock on the steering wheel, -with hands at about shoulder height. And cvhatever you do, keep both handson t/tc St&ring wheel. Drivers aptly demonstrated the increased mobility and better reaction ability with- this hand positioning. Other don’ts include palming the wheel, two second plus shoulder checks and looking down the hood of the car instead of down the road. Even if you just attended the lecture, you would have received all of the above-information. The in-car sessions went on to prove adthe validity of Magwuod’s vice. Six Canadian driving ex-

perts including Craig Fisher, Penni Barker, Al Souter and Doug Titus provided top-rate incar instruction. Ford supplied six new cars for the hands-on demonstrations, Driving practice started with stunts performed by the instructors. (Students were not allowed to copy these maneuvers.) Students then took the wheel to practice emergency braking, accident avoidance, skid control and conning the instructors into letting us have just one more run at the skid pad. The Labdtt’s Road Scholarship program is in its second year. Because of the success of the pilot project last year, due in part to UW, the program was expanded. Waterloo was one of the five universities offering the’course last year; this year,-t he program is offered at 27 universities across Canada. The focus so far is on university students because’ of the high risk of auto collisions for th& age group. As a long-time commuter, this reporter can definitely vouch for the need for more driver training for Canadians (for others, not myself of course). Ideally, this program should probably be offered once per term at every Canadian university. Maybe next year I . .

Doug launches recyding by John MacFarlane Imprint staff

area re’sidents

It’s not over yet. The fight over exclusionary by-laws rages on despite provincial legislation which struck down all such regulations last February. In fact, the by-laws are still on the books in Waterloo and will be enforced if a complaint is lodged against a student dwelling, according to Federation Vice-president (University Affairs) Fran Wdowczyk. Although Mayor Brian Turnbull is personally in favour of removing all the offending bylaws, there is still great support for them by many local ho. meowners who would also like to see them strengthened if pos. sible, said Wdowczyk. The bylaws seek to regulate student housing by limiting the number of~unrelated people who can live under one roof in areas zoned for single-families. A recent report concerning possible amendments to the existing yet illegal local by-laws will be the subject of an-anticipated heated debate next Wednesday October II at 730 p.m. Due to the turnout at last fall’s ill-tempered rrieeting on the bylaw controversy at city hall, the Waterloo Collegiate auditorium has been booked in order to hold

the hundreds of students and

expected to attend. - A formal city council decision on the recommendations of the report is expected October 23 in the Council Chambers, where five of the nine city concillors are needed to agree in order to offi-

‘cially strike down the by-laws. While Wdowczyk says the overall tone of the report is favourable towards students, she admits that most.neighbourhood homeowners won’t be pleased. Wdowczyk points out that the by-laws are mostly being used for purposes for which they weren’t really intended. She notes that the residents have been using the exclusionary regulations as their only means to combat noisy parties+ poor property upkeep and parking problems. Regular by-law enforcement officers do look out for such violations but are on duty during the daytime only. Most of the complaints are lodged in the evening however, when the local police are often too busy to deal. with them. . by-laws While the current should be scrapped, Wdowczyk feels that new by-laws must be enacted to ensure safe living conditions for students and to recourse provide a viable against unsciupulous and absentee landlords,

Last Friday morning, Tom Galloway, the director of Central Services, presented Dr. Wright with the first white box on campus. The expanded program consists of white boxes similar to

The university currently receives $lOO/ton of fine paper which includes: computer printout, photocopier paper, tablet sheets and ‘white envelopes without windows, Colour paper will not be collected in the new recycling boxes. Central services is encouraging people to use white paper to increase the amount of top quality paper which is recycled. The university purchased 1000 white boxes and there have been 400 requests for them so far. The first 1000 boxes are free and come with a sheet which explains what. kind of paper is recyclable. Additional boxes will cost $7 apiece. The order the university placed for the thousand white boxes was the first time the

Visa student BlocIcing awarded UIC Z~~F~ii~

At the same time she began applying to various universities for a job. Mota was eventually extended a job offer by UW; however, she was denied working authorization by the government. Unable to work, Mota applied for UIC benefits, which she was also denied because she was not available for work since she was not authorized to work. Flannery said Mota appealed the decision to a UIC tribunal and lost. She then appealed the tribunal’s decision on the grou with in an equal manner as others.” The case then went before Federal Circuit Court Justice, James Jerome. According to Flannery, Justice Jerome decided that Mota “should not have been treated in an off-hand manner,” and that the conditions for Mota to collect UIC was “too much of a hardship.” The issue, Justice Jkrome decided, was whether she had done a proper job search, which it was resolved she had done. The federal government appealed the decision to the Federal Court of Appeal, but later withdrew its appeal. Flannery said the decis favour of Mota sets an imps precedent for visa student working as teaching assi! in Canada, “If they (visa students) , are Dlan.~. -~ - rravine - ,, -- ” into ~~~ this ~~~-~~~ they are now eligible-for benefits if they conduct a proper job search.‘*

After a three year legal battle, a graduate visa student has been awarded Unemployment Insurance benefits. Mariaurora Mota, who studied and worked as a teaching assistant at UW from 1984 to 1986, received $1,580 in back UIC benefits after the federal government dropped its appea1 of a federal court circuit judge’s decision. All teaching assistants have UIC deducted from their pay; however, until the ruling, foreign teaching assistants were not eligible to collect benefits. Angela Schneider, Chairperson of the Ontario Graduate Association, called the decision “an enormous victory for fairness, and for visa students. No longer will the Unemployment Insurance system be ripping off educational guests we invite study in Canada.”

The history of Mota’s case is red wrapped in bureaucratic tape. Mota’s lawyer, Tim Flannery, said Mota, like visa students working as teaching assistants before her, was originally denied UIC benefits because she was deemed not “available” for work under UIC Act guidelines. When Mota’s teaching assistantship at UW end in April 1989, she applied for further -work authorization from the ministry of employment and immigration.

) Techno-chair by Michael Clifton Xmprint staff Finally ratified by each level of university administration, the UW Research Chair on the Impact of Technology on Society was approved quickly by a motion and vote at last Tuesday night’s Board of Governor’s meeting. The chair and program were created in response to the declaration by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board that the educational curriculum in Canada must begin to concentrate on the ways in which technologies affect society, specifically in Canada, but also internationally. The program, called, “Technological Impact on Canadian Societ y,” is hailed as not only another first for the university’s engine’ering department, but is also a first in the nation and will be a vital link for such studies worldwide. It will also serve to increase the involvement of the engineering department in Waterloo’s interdisciplinary program on science, technology and values (STV). The primary aims of the program are as follows: [i) To conduct research and produce material to be used in teaching about the role and impact of technology i and engineer1 ing; [ii] To engage in ongoing re-

1“Slanderous

search projects in appropriate fields on technological impact; (iii] To engage in ongoing undergraduate and graduate teach-

ing: (iv) To develop special intensive training to faculty members from across Canada, or elsewhere, who wish to prepare for teaching about technology and its impact in -response to CEAB requirements. A Board memo suggests that the new chair provides an important opportunity for LJW to show how schools of engineering can effectively promote awareness of the nature and impact of technology and engineering in society. ’ Chosen to head the program is renowned schdlar, Dr. Norman Ball, whose work in this field has jbrought him many awards. His appointment was one of the only points of contention which arose during administration discussions about the program. . Jack Brown, University Secretary, explained that during the Senate meeting when the Chair was discussed, some members were concerned that the posit ion of chairing the program hacl n,ot been opened up to applications before Dr. Ball was chosen. Despite this, the program was ratified by the Senate also. The Iron Warrior reported that Dr. Ball received thisposition in July, leaving his post as Senior Cura,t or, Engineering and Indus,trial Technology at the National Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa. It is considered an advantage for this university to receive such an accomplished and well-known scholar, whose concern for his area of st udy is at least equal to the time and effort he puts into the study itself. I Funding f6r the first three years of the program will come from a variety of corporate sources, primary among which is Northern Telecom: After that period the responsibility for funding will revert to the universitya Advocates of .the program explaified at a meeting of the Board of Governor’s Executive Committee that preparations are already in place and they are confident that funds will be immediately available after the three years without adversely affecting affecting the university’s budget.

WPIRG demands .apology by Mike Soro !mprint staff

The Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG) has sent a letter to the Committee for Progress, Technology and Free Enterprise demanding a public apology for statements it made in an information flyer. Kara Symbolic, research coordinator for WPIRG, says WPIRG wants the committee to submit either an article or letter, to the editors of the Imprint, K-W Record and Waterloo Chronicle, publicly apologizing for “slanderous statements made in its flyer.” The letter was sent by registered mail to the committee on September 27: At press time, it was uncertain whether the committee had received the letter from WPIRG. Imprint did, hqwever, receive a letter to the editor signed’by Committee for Progress, Technology and Free / Enterprise members David Bowl,and and Janice Jackson, defending ihe commit tee’s clainis. Neither WPIRG, nor its lawyer, would comment on courses of action available to WPIRG if the committee refuses to make a public apology. In addition to the flyer, the committee has also been circulating a petition calling for the removal of WPIRG as a voluntary fee on tuition fee statement-s. Federation pf Students President, Dave Readman, had given the committee until October 5, to procure the signatures of ten per cent of UW students. Federation by-laws state that to remove WPIRG a petition from tuition fee statements, would need the signatures of ten per cent of UW students. Areferendum would then- be held, requiring a majority vote in favor WPIRG as an incidental fee. The issue would then go before the

UW Board ,of Governors for a final decision. Asked how many signatures had so far been obtained, Jackson said on Wednesday, that she had not been in touch with all committee members, but guesstimated that approximately 300 signatures had been collected. Approximately 1,400 signatures are needed to attain the required ten per cent student representation. Jackson added that, because of a “shortage in staff,” the committee has not been circulating the petition as actively as it had intended. Symbolic says WPIRG has increased its promotional campaign as a result of the committee’s attack. The number of classroom talks done by WPIRG during September was increased, often at the request of professors, she said. Support for WPIRG, according to Symbolic, has been pouring in from well wishers, the munici-

Degrees: a dollar a pound For ten weeks, you’ve been searching for the perfect person to spearhead project platypus. You’ve narrowed your choice down to three contenders. As this is an extremely important’ position, it is only-natural that the three contenders all sport spanking new University of Waterloo degrees. How do you make your decision? Flip a coin? Consult the stars? Meditate in an isol&ion tank? Would it make any difference to you knowing that one of the three had purchased his degree without enduring the rigors of th,e education? Of course it would. It seems people have always bandied about the idea of selling- degrees to the less academically inclined, those who attend only for the career opportunities that it affords them. Degree selling would solve a few problems, particularly in these days of financially depressed higher learning. It would generate revenue for the university without incurring the overhead involved in teaching every student, while relieving the pressure on classroonis overflowing with those there only * to get a good job. I! is not too difficult to imagine people opting to buy their degrees. You probably know several people who would if they could. But the opening scenario illustrates one of the flaws of. this system: the paper-itself is worth nothing. If such a system were ever to be seriously undertaken, then to protect the value of earned degrees, the over-the-counter ones would have to look different. In effect, if one were to sell a degree, it would have to come embossed with large, friendly - letters stating “this degree not worth the paper it’s printed on.” Now who in his right mind would still be interested in buying that? On the surface, the idea strikes a pleasant chord in the hearts of those of us dedicated to our education. Particularly when our efforts seem constantly frustrated by those just interested in the piec‘e of paper. And it’s fun to entertain a’ plan, no matter how ridiculous, that would effectively separate them from us, yet satisfy everybody. gut like all fantasies, the realities of the dream are fraught with too many inconsistencies to allow it to be realized. SO until a better plan comes along, we are bound together,-these two independently motivated camps. But that’s not so bad. They tend to be lots of fun at parties. Jeff Smith

might rise

Exhausting (ISIS) - A proposed Transport Canada tailpipe standard to control carbon dioxide (COZ) pollution would actually increase carbon dioxide pollution, let the automobile industry off the hook, and result in backsliding on progress made with fuel economy standards over the last decade, say representatives of the environmental group Friends of the Earth. In testimony to a public hearing in Ottawa recently, Friends of the Earth Energy Policy Advisor Philip Jessup said that the government plan to ‘:cap” CO2 emissions per mile driven “will actually lead to an increase in the total carbon emissions produced by autos, because of projected growth in auto use, and use of dirtier heavy oils in the

mess

future, In fact, this plan will allow CO2 emissions to rise by at least 23 per cent by 2005,” said Jessup. “It’s hardly a step toward the 20 per cent,cut in CO2 emissions discussed by the ~energy ministers,” during a Toronto conference last month, said Kai Millyard, Policy Director for the group. The energy ministers agreed that “improved vehicle fuel efficiency is the first step” in fighting global warming. In an FOE report released in July, the group showed that new fuel economy standards are the way to go, and could reduce Canada’s CO2 emissions by four per cent by 2005. Transportation fuel burning in Canad.a puts 32 million tonnes of carbon into the air each year - ,-

more than a tonne for every Canadian, ac.counting for 27 per cent of Canada’s total carbon emissions, Automobiles are the single largest source of CO2 pollution in Canada, The Transport Canad’a/Environment Canada proposal suggests setting a limit on CO2 emissions per mile, which has the same effect as a fuel economy standard. The proposed value, however, corresponds to’the current fuel economy standard, and so requjres no progress. “In our view, the whole idea of sett’ing a tailpipe standard for CO2 is unenforceable and unnecessary. Fuel economy standards have worked well in the past, and should simply be updated and used again iy the fuI’ ture” said Millyard.

(UN Data) - Improved US.-Soviet relations along with other factors offer the rare prospect of a decline in worldwide military spending, according to a recently released study. “In many respects, the decade of the 1980s is ending on a more hopeful note than it had at the start,” says the study entitled World Military and Social Expenditures 1989, The report was written by Ruth Sivard, a former official of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. Each year she publishes an updated version of global military spending and how it compares with spending on human resources. Her principle thesis is that defence spending absorbs funds desperately needed for social

anistan, Central America, southern Africa and Southeast Asia and the revival of the United Nations’ role as a peacemaker. The report also notes that China, the Soviet Union and Vietnam - countries which large military establishments all have. undertaken pers,onnel cutbacks. Beyond that’, she says, no new wars started over the past year for the first time in 31 years. Still, in real terms, military expenditures have continued to rise with the expansion of the global economy and may have reached the US$l trillion mark worldwide for the first time last year, the report says. In 1986, the last year for which complete figures ;Ire available, the United States spent about $261 billionprograms. q defense and the Soviet Union Sivard writes that the positive $271 billion, accounting for trends at the end of the decade about 62 per cent of global milhave not as yet had a measurable impact on government budgets ,itary spending, the report says. It adds the global “obsession” and that world military spendwith military force since World ing is still at record levels. Nonetheless, Sivard cites as War II has produced hundreds of millions of casualties, not only causes for optimism the warmfrom war but from neglect of uring of superpower relations, the gent human needs. As an examwinding down of wars in,Afgh-

ple, the study cites “the appalling number of lives lost to hunger and to sther killer-diseases that ar,e preventable at the cost of a few dollars for an individual life.” The study also makes these observations: - Six times as much public re: search money goes for research on weapons as for research on health protection., - Every minute, 15 children in the world die for want of essential food and inexpensive vaccines, and the world military machine takes $1.9 million from the public treasury. - The chances of dying from social neglect are 33 times greater than the chatices of dying in war. - In the developing world, there is one soldier per 240 inhabitants, one physician per 1,950. - The U.S. and the U.S.S.R., the

top ranking military powers, rank 17th and 45th among all nations in infant mortality-rates. - Since 1960, developing countries have increased military expenditures more than twide as fast as living standards, meastired by per capita income.

Womb woman’s strongest connection To the editor, -In the first Pro-choice article which appeared in Imprint. many instances were cited ot women being oppressed by having child-bearing roles forced upon them. There is no doubt in my mind that we should fight to free women whose lives are controlled by governmental powers. However, I would propose that abortion is not the answer. Abortion will only serve to take us to the other extreme. Once it becomes acceptable. it can only become enshrined by dominating persons as the best way to “get rid” of the “problem.” Women who seek alternatives will be asked why they didn’t just have an abortion? ‘tegalizing abortion won’t change patriarchial attitudes.

Football fan bus fiasco To the editor,

I am writing in regard to the Federation of Students’ handling of the fan bus that travelled to York on Saturday for the Warri-or-Yeoman football game. Eager to see the contest, a couple of friends and I purchased the five dollar tickets from the Fed office on Friday and arrived at East Campus Hall at 11:30 am Saturday. There we were greeted by a sparse but enthusiastic graup of supporters and later the UW cheerleaders. There should have been a Fed representative there as well, to collect our tickets and supply the deposit for the two waiting buses. There was not. As noon approached, we were told by the bus driver that he required a one hundred dollar deposit per bus befoie we left, refundable upon leaving the bus in the same condition as it was when we embarked. Hearing this, we gathered everyone onto one bus, a cheerleader supplied the deposit and we left. No one collected the tickets we bought. What concerns me IS how poorly this trip was organized by the Feds, To begin with, it was poorly advertised. If there were over

twelve hundred reported fans at the game versus Guelph, why were there only enough Warrior fans to fill one bus this weekend? Selling tickets on Friday with only the support of a mention at the end of the football article in the Imprint was inadequate. Many people just didn’t know about the buses. Given the poor turnout, I can’t understand why the Feds paid for two buses to show up. Either fifty or so people bought tickets and there were no-shows - a somewhat unlikely occurrence - or the Feds erred in their judgment. The latter suggests a waste of money, perhaps the nineteen dollars and change included on the fee statement .of the average student. I personally did not ask for this refund because until now I had thought it was money well spent. In the future, J hope to seethese problems corrected so that subsequent fan buses to out-of-town games are run more smoothly. ‘As an aside, I would likk to extend my congratulations to the Warriors on their victory. For those who managed to attend, cheerleaders and fans, it was an afternoon to remember. Cliff Conquest 3A pre-PAS

Offend without purpose

Symbols raise concern To the editor, I was amazed and appalled with the symbols used in the record review rating system. The four symbols B+ are all out of place, especially [coincidentally?) the first and always printed swastika. While I could condone the swastika’s use in a context which would serve to shock and so educate, your use promotes it as a symbol accepted, casual ;InJ

of little significance. A remark by your staff that “everything is

offensive to someone” is verbal

diarrhea. To offend without purpose is a poor philosophy, serving only to

Health

Stress Management Are midterms getting to you? Is the workload piling up? The answer is probably yes. When this happens, most people are said to be experiencing stress, Stress occurs when there is an imbalance between the demands of life and your ability to respond to these demands. Simply put, stress occurs &hen you feel that you are unable to cope with your circumstances. It can cause anxiety, fatigue, illness, and general discomfort. Stress is associated with change. Let’s use Bob as an example. While sitting in an.unnamed pub, Bob is quite happily taking a sip at his pint. Bob is content. ‘Bob then realizes his pint is finished. Bob is anxious. He now looks around for a waitress. He finds it difficult to get her attention, so he cranes his neck all the way around to find someone. Bob is really fidgety now. Bob finally flags a person down and orders. Now comes the wait, Bob is a little irritated, Finally, a pint arrives. Bob must have a drink quickly to calm his nerves as I shovel money to the waitress. (Wait a second, I didn’t order anything.) Bob drinks gleefully again. While this example is quite silly and I don’t think Bob will get an ulcer from waiting, we can learn about Bob’s inability to adapt smoothly to a change in the situation. One way to relieve stress is to learn to relax. “Puttfng events in perspective” can always reduce your tension. Bob would be less anxious if

he thought “what difference does it make if I get another beer in five or 50 minutes? After all, I’m not really that thirsty.” Another way to reduce the effects of stress is to set reasonable goals in solving problems+ Being able to realize four weeks in advance that you have three mid-terms on the same day and working at the problem a little bit at a time can reduce tension. This is called time management. Changing the stressor itself is also a viable means to reduce stress. Suppose I had a large paper due in two days that I had no interest in doing. I could kidnap my professor and T.A.‘s and ship them off to Cuba. In this way no one would be around to seeif I handed in my paper or not. The idea is to change the situation so that you can handle the problem effectively. Having someone to talk to is a great way to reduce feelings of being pressured. Not only does talking release tension, but it also solves problems. Lean on your friends and support organizations because it makes your friends’ days more interesting. Stress is part of modern life, but it should not overburden you, so have fun and take care. For information on support groups call the Health and Safety Resource Network (HSRN) at the Health

Shake your head, Lyn To the editor,

Benjamin Franklin once remarked that nine out of ten men are chronic suicides. One might lamentably cite as evidence Lyn McGinnis’ supposedly “reasoned” report defending the prochoice abortion stance. Once again we are witness to the abusive insults of an insecure lobby ‘and its harried attempt to pressure public opinion - and hence influence legislation - through hysteria. The mutilated propaganda forwarded as “examination” parades the whole pro-choice position in ridicule. In better hands, the licentious comparidon of Christianity to Nazism might even have been a little frightening, but instead is quite a bit laughable. I don’t wish to discourage Imprint from printing debate or discussion of critical social issues, nonetheless may I suggest an editorial policy which stresses intelligent rationale and refrains from hysterical hypocrisy. The editorial disclaimer prefacing part two of the eagerly anticipated “Feature” notwithstanding, Imprint demonstrated complete disregard of so much as a common courtesy of rebuttal, but wilfully permitted a two-part dissertation of awk-

ward and diffuse “scientific” hypothesis to randomly steamroll through reality. Posing itself’as infallible fact, McGinnis’ diatribe merely reaffirmed and endorsed the pro-choice movemenf’s real philosophical conviction - that sex is more sacred than life. (Thus, good readership, the rights and ethics to which abortion is justified are irrefutable.] Adding insult to hilarity, McGinnis indicts all dissenting opinion and incredulously propounds the social good of their incarceration. On all counts, this sad piece has done immeasurable disservice to the credibility of the prochoice platform. Placards bearing coat-hangers may fool some of the people some of the time, but aren’t going to fool alI the people all the time. Those who thankfully care to sanctify inalienable life over Lyn McGinnis’ unbridled and unconditional narci’ssism refuse to remain silent. Marshall McLuhan percieves that “man’s right to his own ignorance might be said to be his principal means of Drivate iden iity,” kor all of ou: sakes, bot 1 McGinnis and Imprint would d 1 well to give their heads a goo , shake.

Less than a month ago, Citizens For Choice, a new pro-choice group in Kitchener-Waterloo, held their first meeting. It was well attended by supporters, but unfortunately it was also attended by a group of anti-choice demonstrators. The anti-choice voice is well-organized and wellfunded, as shown by the ad cafnpaign in Kitchener Transit buses. We must recognize that a new abortion law is unnecessary and unfair; women are not criminals! Laws restricting abortion only prevent those most in need of this medical service from receiving it - those unable to travel outside the country, or unable to pay a back-alley abortionist.

Don’t buy those grapes The next time you pick up a bunch of luscious California grapes, think of “The Wrath of Grapes.” While the title of John Steinbeck’s novel is The Grapes of Wrath, “The Wrath of Grapes” is the slogan of the current California grape boycott which refers to the hazards associated with the pesticides used on the grapes. Xalifornia grape growers knou)r that the appearance of grapes is important to consumers. Those plump, innocentlooking grapes have been pumped-up by growth hormones that make them grow three to four times their normal size; however+ this alters the organic composition of the grapes, thus weakening the natural resistance they have to pests. As a result, grape growers have had to increase the amount of pesticides they use. Since the 194os, the.amount of pesticides sprayed on grapes hasincreased eighteen-fold. Last year, eight billion pounds of pesticides were used on the grapes grown in California, and approximately onethird o$ these pesticides are suspected or proveri carcinogens, according to the US. Environmental Protection Agency. The type of pesticides used on grapes are organophosphates, carbamates, and thiophosphates, all of which are considered nerve-gas-type pesticides. The most dangerous pesticides are Captan, Methyl Bromide,fDinoseb, Parathion, and Phosdrin. Parathion and Phosdrin are responsible for the majority of farm worker poisonings and deaths in California. Captan is a widely used fungicide and proven carcinogen - it is the pesticide most often found by the US, Food and Drug Administration in their monitoring of grapes for residues. There are three officially recognized child cancer clusters in California. One of the three clusters is McFarland, a town surrounded by pesticide-laden fields in California’s San Joaquin Valley. In

McFarland,

the rate of cancer

among children is 600 per cent higher than normal. The State of California and Kern County have been forced to look at the possibIe causes of these clusters, but as yet have been reluctant to link the incidence of cancer to pesticide usage. Adults in McFarland are also facing an increased incidence of cancer, specifically head and neck cancers. What makes this incidence of adult cancer particularly noticeable is the rapid growth of the tumors. These tumors can grow ,from the size of a pea to the size of a nectarine in ‘weeks. The state of California is reluctant to include a review of adult cancer cases with its review of children cancer clusters, arguing that it is difficult to trace possible environmental factors with adult cancer. The reluctance by the state to deal tiith the dangers that farm workers face is not surprising. Under the leadership of Cesar Chavez, the United Farm Workers have non-violently organized the predominantly Chicano farm workers. There are now less than 25,000 workers under contract, though 208,000 have voted to have the UFW represent them. The UFW has been successful in securing better wages, shorter hours, and safer working conditions for the farm workers.

Tliese achievements - are currently under seige. In 1983, George Deukmejian was elected governor of California with the strong financial and political support of the growers. Since his election, he and his administration have sought to dismantle the few rights the UFW has fought so hard to secure. The people who work in the grape fields are now involved in one of the most critical battles of their lives. They are fighting to reduce the use of pesticides which not only threaten their health as workers but also threaten the lives of their families and friends who live in the same communities where they work. However, it is not only the farm

workers, their families and friends who may be at risk. The increased use of carcinogenic pesticides also places consumers at risk. Not all of these pesticides can be washed off the grapes: some chemicals are oil-based-and coat the surface of the grape and others seep through the porous grape skin to the inside. Because of the potential hazards to consumers, the UFW is looking for support from the public to end this dangerous use of pesticides. The present boycott on California grapes was officially declared on July 11, 1984. During the following two years, Cesar Chavez and other WFW organizers toured the U.S. and Canada developing support for the campaign. “The reasons for this boycott are similar to the previous boycotts, except that this time one of our problems has become a tragedy, an incredible epidemic of our workers dying from cancer, children being born with birth defects, women having miscarriages due to the use of nerve-gas-like pesticides used on grapes,” said David Martinez, vice-president of the UFW. Martinez, who once worked in the fields of southern Texas, is now livin’g in Toronto, His main responsibility here is to build Canadian support for the boycott. Acco-rding to Martinez, “The same pesticides which cause,death and deformities among farm workers and their children are being eaten in grapes every day, by Canadian consumers.” During July 1988, the UFW sampled grapes in 66 stores in Metro Toronto area, The screenings for organophosphate, carbamate and thiophosphate pesticides showed positive in 60 stores, Of the 72 samples taken at each of these

stores, 86 per cent of the grapes tested positive for the existence of these pesticides. While not enough research has been done on the long-term health effects of consuming pesticide residues, Martinez states; “Don’t wait for a body count! We’re already providing it. Our children

are already dying. Don’t wait till Canadian consumers are contracting cancer too.” il The grape boycott has been effective in the past, and the current boycott is beginning to have an impact on grape prices. The fall is normally a good season for grape growers, with prices and sales normally high; however, this September, prices fell to a break-even point: a twenty-two pound box of Thompson Seedless was selling for $8.37. The price now on the same box is $7.25 and there are an estimated 11 million boxes in cold storage due to slow sales. In specific markets,- the effect of the boycott has been significant. In Boston, grape sales are down 12 per cent from last year, Detroit, 17 per cent, New York, 19 per cent, and Chicago, 20 per cent.

“All we need is a ten per cent reduction in sales to make the boycott effective” says David Martinez, “and our preliminary reports are that there has been a ten per cent reduction in shipping. We don’t think the growers can go anot her year. If the consumers will stick with US, they won’t last another year.” You can support the California grape boycott in several ways. The easiest is to stop buying them, but the UFW would like you to go one step further. Tell.your grocer your concerns and ask the store to stop ordering California grapes until the boycott is over.

Sixty per cent -of U.S. females have experimented with bulemia, and 20 per cent are afflitted with this disease. To what extent would you go to remove those love handles? How would you do it: exercise and diet or liposuction? Along with the rise in awareness of the importance of di$t and exercise, there has been a corresponding i,ncrease in the use of liposuctiqn. Thousands of Canadians pgy thousands of dollars to have liposuction performed, This represents . 2/3 df those who inquire about this operation, since I/Z are not suitable candidates due to poor health, cardiovascular problems Or diabetes, Liposuction involves the removal of fat by suction.

Letter to the editor

Gay bashing letter trash To the editor, At the risk of appearing to support a cause I n&her practice nor advocate, I feel it is necessary to formulate a response to the letter written by Terry Gambarotto in the Sept. 29 issue of Imprint I Perhaps I’m missing something, but it seems apparent to me that Gambarotto,could have only three reasons for writing this letter. First, it is a sarcastic tongue-in-cheek look at the controversy surrounding gay rights. If this is the case, then this piece of trash, thinly veiled as a satirical expression ,of opinion, is in the poorest possible taste. Secondly, perhaps Gambarotto is a lonely, frustrated individual looking for any kind of

attention that he can possibly generate. Note, the following reference in last week’s letter: “Sex is bad enough, but . . .” Come on Terry, who are we trying to kid here? Does publicly lashing out at people who have no bearing whatsoever on your life disguise your inadequacy as a human being and make you feel more of a man??? No, I do not think so. As a matter of fact, this overt display of prejudice accentuates your weakness for everyone to see. Lastly and by far the most serious is’ that Gambarotto has supplied us with a vile example of hate “literature” and propaganda that symbolizes this regime. I have a very “laissez-faire” attitude for the most part towards

Imprint st att Most of us are familiar with the occasidnal depression or fit of aggression. But what about those who seem perpetually de‘pressed or overly aggressive? According to Dr. Ken Rubin, a UW psychology professor, chronic depression or aggression may actually be a behavioral pattern formed in early childhood. Aggressiveness in children USually leads to problems’in later life - often criminal. But what about children who are shy, inhibited, fearful, or socially withdrawn? What lies ahead in their futures?

*Concerned with such problems, Rubin’s current praject involves a study of over 100 children in the K-W region. As part of a greater study involving the United States, West Germany, and China, Rubin hopes to identify the withdrawn child early and determine the cause of their social maladjustment. Children

Nbtably, most passive and withdrawn children are socially submissive and are often ignored but not necessarily rejected. As these childben get older however, these problems become pronounced. As they experience outright rejection and isolation by their peers, tihey, in turn, start to devalue themselves. .

By about grade five, those children were highiy withdrawn in kindergarten and grade two, are those most likely to indicate loneliness and depressiob. Rubin concludes that the *‘combination of social withdrawal, negative self-perceptions, and rejection by their peers and others all conspire in a rather insidious way to produce such internalizing disorders as depression, anxiety, and loneli-, ness.“ He predicts that family relations, early parent-infant relationships in particular, will play a large role in the development of socially inhibited children.

R and D in Canada promoted by Michael Clifton Imprint staff Buried amongst all the discussions and reports entertained by the Board of Governors at their most recent meeting was an Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) report entitled, Ten Years to ZOO&Strategy Document. The report begins, “As we approach the Zlst century, Canada faces new challenges to its economic foundation. The rules of international competitiveness are changing. Industrial economies are increasingly knowledge-driven, compelling us to take a hard look at our current situation.” It focuses on challenges currently facing Canadian industry and specifically Canadian research in the fields of natural science, engineering and related technologies. In recent years Canada’s technology trade deficit has increased annually, surging to $7 billion in 1987 alone, and cumulatively rising to $53 billion between 1978 and’87

The report expresses concern that Canadian industries will face a drastic shortage of qualified, capable researchers before the beginning of the coming century. It is sensitive to the reasons, mostly economic, though some personal, that many students refrain from graduate studies or leave them incomplete, It states firmly that “action must be taken to ensure that more undergraduates choose to undertake and complete advanced studies in science and engineering,” despite likely economic hardships. For their part, NSERC has organized their program budget so that some 80 plus per cent of the budget is allocated to increasing scholarships and fellowship funding, grants to research programs and training (both indi-

We “cannot afford to continue to buy technologies off the shelves of other countries,‘* the report warns. One result of this challenge is that Canada’s most natural research resources, universities, need to be able to prepare numerous researchers capable of entering a variety of engineering and scientific fields. There is an increasing number of present postgraduate researchers approaching retirement age by the year 2000, coupled with a decrease in members of the population in the traditional university age group (18-24).

Their proposal concludes that, “entering a research career should not ,be an economic burden that even the best students have to carry.” For a’ province which ranks tenth out of ten on financial commitment to students, the challenge that NSERC has established C~J+C9 formidable precedent. For ti. rice and engineering students Ihis proposal increases the potential for their continued studies, as the report says increasingly they will take on valuable positions in society, helping Canada to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century.

On Srnday, the University of Toronto started a study that looks at the prevalence of WIV in women of childbearing age. The department of preventative medicine and biostatistics of U of T‘s faculty of medicine is conducting the study. The monitoring of the.AIDS epidemic in Canada is being carried out by epidemiological surveillance of AIDS cases that have been reported to the provincial ministry of health. From ,there, the reports travel to the Federal Centre for AIDS (FCA), says Randall Coates; an associate professor in IJ of T’s faculty of medicine. Although many cases are reported, the total number of individuals that have been infected with HIV in Canada is still unknown Accurate numbers of HIV positive individuals (and HIV negative) in both the general population and that of high risk groups are needed to monitor the spread oft he virus, create strategies in order to deal with the epidemic and provide evidence that future health care funding is required, says Coates. The Federal Centre for AIDS had recommended that a national study be implemented. This study would consist of a series of province-wide, anonymous surveys on specifically selected populations.

The first study Aill begin among women of- chilc#bearing age. The reason for thib is because childbearing wo ’ en reT of the present a large section1 population for which routinely collected blood samples are already available. The study itself has be n developed by a team of res archers from the University of t oronto in addition to the publid health branch of the Ontario ministry of health. The reason for the study, Coates said, is to get an ccurate estimate of the HIV i1 fection ntario rate in a sample of women that are bearing live children.

The study .will take up to twelve months to complete and the blood taken will be used to measure the persons maternal HIV level. Each person submitted for the HIV testing will only be identified by a study number, This number cannot be traced back to the pe,rson from whom it was taken from. Patient consent is not required and it is not possible to identify women who have a positive HIV test result. If a patient tiishes, however, to receive inf ormat on on her HIV status, she may request a routine testing through the Public Health Laboratories, said Coates.

The justification: cultivating social chaos instead of coffee. The expropriations represent an about-face by the government on its commitment, reiterated time and time again, (that land owners did not have to fear’government takeovers. Concern over confiscations has been one of the central points made ‘by agro-producers in meetings with the government, and in order to gain their confidence, the au. thorities promised to end that practice. The opposition daily “La Prensa” accurately termed the move a “political reprisal”. This time, the government made no effort to sheath the political

sword of ex-

propriation in the scabbard of economic rationale. As well, Wheelock went so far as to say that those who conspire against or confront the revolution will see their properties handed over to campesinos demanding land. The iovernment has begun to pI%y hard ball with the sectors of

This program, according to the government, was elaborated not by Nicaraguans, but by the CIA and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a US-based foundation ostensibly dedicated to promoting democratic change. The NED has recently been singled out for attack by the ldcal pro-government media because of its plan to disburse more than $3 million to opposition formations. FSLN loyalists denounce this funding as US intervention in the nation’s affairs and accuse the recipients of “selling out their cotintry.” It hasn’t just been the coffee growhrs that have been causing headaches for the government.

So, there we were, sitting in Taps, the local (ahem) coffee house, relaxing to the muted tones of folk immortal Robert Palmer, watching the regulars play pool, and wondering how the hell a 60s-based, beatnik band like the Washington Squares got booked into this venue.

“Keep

beautiful -in Berlin”

away boys, this one’s

mine.”

by Moustafa Bayoumi Imprint Staff The stdry begins simply enough: a moon is seen from the streets of Berlin. But the moon isn’t in the sky, it’s on the ground and it belongs to a seventy-five year old woman who, full of plumpness and pride, claims to be Anita Berber, the famous German nude dancer of the 1920s. She drops her pants and proudly yells that hers is “the most beautiful ass in Berlin.” So begins Anita: Dances of Vice, one of three new German films being shown this week at the Princess, This is the latest film from the gay German filmmaker Rosa von Praunheim, and here he seems bent on destroying our sexual hang-ups with as much kitsh as possible. The story continues with the old woman being whisked away to a mental institution, and all the while you feel like there are pebbles in your mouth and dust in your throat from the cinematic style which is blaring and gritty black and white film. But when the woman flashes back to her youth as Anita Berber (or is it mere imagination?], the voices leave the film and colour - wild, brilliant colour enters. The scenes of her as the young Anita Berber are played be the svelte Ina Blum who dances and gyrates her way through her scenes, either alone or with her partner Sebastian Droste. Then, flipping back to the bleak hospital setting, we notic? that here partner Sebastian is also her doctor, and the young Anita is the old woman’s nurse. In fact, all the other characters besides the old woman seem to be merely extensions

per-

formance as the old woman pumps the film wi‘th a needed neurotic energy. The dream or memory scenes balance the hospital scenes as a blazing, expressionistic silent movie in the style of early horror flicks. The visual sense of the film seems a homage to the German expressionist movement [played to the hilt) which was contemporaneous with

ass ’

Herber’s life (who was the first actual historical ‘hude dancer in Germany). The sharp expressionistic images are augmented by a jagged-score running through these sequences, giving the audience a sensory extravaganza that, after a while, becomes tiring to watch. Young Anita dances several extended sensual dances with her partner (in the nude), yet he is eventually rejected for another woman. Our heroine is also a cocaine addict. At one point, three men who look suspiciously like Nazis condemq Anita for her “forbidden dances, drugs and homosexuality” and they call for “a strong leader” to lead them through this degeneracy. Political allegory seems not far off at times, Iti fact,‘old Anita is also condemned by the hospital machinery and it seems’ this is Anita’s appeal to Rosa. As a nude dancer, drug addict, bisexual and overall reputable degenerate, Anita reprosents that fringe element (and revolutionary artist] of society that is viewed as immoral by the eyes of an immoral society, “My revolution is to smash all restraints” calls out the old Anita. Near the end of the film, and exhausted nurse complains to the old Anita that her “lies about the ’20s are getting on my nerves. Why can’t you pretend to be Helen Keller or Doris Day ?” Anita seems to have ~fhe right reaction. She shrieks “Doris Day” in horror and has a stroke, only to get up again at the end of the film. She seems eternal, this woman, because she lives more in her colour dreams (memories?) than in her black and white life. 23omefimes dreams are more vivid than life” says the old Anita. But if you had to choose between the bleak black and white life of reality or the colour extravagance and decadence of dreams, where would you be? Anita: Dances of Vice and two other new German films are playing at the Princess Cinema from Tuesday, October 10 to Thursday, October 12.

by Peter Dedes Imprint staff Acadie is not an eminently detestable record. It’s rather a plea-

sant, emotionless vision of New Orleans, dutifully sanitized by Lanois and his record police, Actually it’s an American version of an elder Atlantic coast paradise. It’s obvious that Lanois attempts to come to terms with his culture, but it’s so unnecessary. Especially since he can’t even put his emotions on vinyl. Do you remember at camp, if you put somebody’s hand in a cup of warm water, they’d piss themselves? Well, if you played this album for somebody while they were asleep, they’d probably piss themselves. The talent that Lanois com-

RECORD REVIEWS mands - Neville bros., Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen Jr., Brian and Roger Eno, Malcolm Burns, etc.- is extensive. This is unfortunate because at least some passion should have been generated by somebody. Instead, everybody just sightreads their parts in the studio, gets their fee and goes home to watch television. You’d think that Lanois, what with this important version of folk history that he wants to sell, would kick these guys’ assesin an attempt to elicit performance. But he can’t even throttle himself into submitting his soul to this record.

When your first album becomes an incredible milestone in rock history, it’s hard to match that success in future albums. Such is the fate of ingenious muti-instrumentalist Mike Oldfield. Oldfield came close to duplicating the rock oddity of Tubular Bells in his later albums Ommadawn and Incantations (my fave of his] but never produced anything transcendental to it. So Mikey ventured into the land of “vocal music,” mixing long instrumental pieces ,with full bodied vocals on the same samples of vinyl. Six albums dater in 1983, Crises became his second most popular LP and he has never reached that plateau since. But Earth Moving, his 16th album in as many years, comes close, and outperforms its predecessor Islands. The album combines some upbeat pop style samples with his patented meiodious easy listening pieces. Songs like Holy, Innocent, and the title track have potential as pop chart material in Western Europe. However, most of the material is too sugary for any

by Derek Weiler Imprint staff

The face with no man mainstream status. One big disappointment for fans of Oldfield’s 70s material is that there is not one singular instrumental on the album. Instead, Mike jams the studio with eight different lead vocalists on his ten self written tracks. But for once, I really don’t mind t,he absence. Many of the highlights of this album are brought out by harmonious interaction between the lead and backup vocalists as is

evident in the tracks Far Country and Blue Night, the fatter featuring long time Mike 0. supporter Maggie Reilly. However, this album does have its share of meadow muffins. Runaway Son sounds like a pathetically devout elegy, while See The Light seems to strangle you into ‘liking the rest of side two. Overall though, I think it is an improved effort and his best in about five years.

They actually have fun with what they’re .doing, and if their tongues are planted firmly in cheek, that doesn’t make it any less valid. This is a band capable of churning out catchy, accessible college-radio anthems, such as their early cult classic Take the Skinh-cads Bowling. They choose, however, to pursue their own warped vision of what ethnic music is all about: that’s far more of a statement than making it big first, and then cashing in

on the ethno-fad, Key Lime Pie, the new CvB album, is truly a marriage between East and West. Arabic mandolin and violin lines collide with American country & western strains and rock ‘n’ roll riffs. The triumph of this LP is that CvB (like the Pogues on their If I Should Fall from Grace with God LP) manage to fuse various genres of music into a seamlessly unified whole. This is a band that has based a career on eclecticism, yet every song on this album sounds distinctly like Camper van Beethoven. , Key Lime Pie is more sublime, less accessible, than CvB’s last masterpiece, Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart. At first, this seems to detract from it: there’s nothing as instantly welcoming as Sweetheart’s W&a (the Zeppelin ripoff) or Eye of Fatima. In the end, though, it’s obvious that Key Lime Pie is more consistent, more of a piece than Sweetheart. It’s too’ bad, though, that the band’s notorious ’ sense of whimsy has been for the most part confined to the packaging on Key Lime Pie. There is very little overt humour on this LP; the band are beginning to take themselves more seriously. For a near-novelty act like Mojo Nixon, this may be a necessary step, but for CvB it can only mean trouble. This is a fine worthwhile album, but here’s hoping that they don’t slip into pretentiousness in the future.

of Play-doh, is caught by the police after he and his buddy get caught in a coin shop heist setup. While incarcerated, he is offered the chance to have his revolting puss reconstructed; he’ll be given a new identity, a new personal history, an opportunity to set his life straight. On the outside, he finds a steady job, and the love of a good woman as well. What could be better? Johnny Handsome could be. It

boasts a number of relatively respected players [including Morgan Freeman, thought by some to be America’s best actor], but each is bludgeoned

into medioc-

rity by the dismal script.

The worst victim is the aforementioned Freeman, who plays the jaded New Orleans cop on Sedley’s trail, and who keeps popping up in scene after scene, yammering about Sedley being rotten to the core, no matter what his face looks like, Only Ellen Barkin, as the hosebag who helps to send Sedley up to the big house, comes out smelling even remotely rosy. As she curses and pistol-whips her way through the picture, the viewer is advised to remember her performance in The Big Easy, and to subsequently wonder at both the night-and-day difference and the consummate skill she shows in both movies. She’s fighting a losing battle, though, because Johnny ~ancfsome turns out to be a mere wisp of a movie. An examination of Sedley’s mind, which would have given the picture resonance ad depth, is lacking. In its place is a cheap tale of revenge and a badly drawn love story which fishes for lean, minimalist appeal but comes up cold and unfinished, The fault lies with the screenwriters, not director Walter Hill; he’s always interesting, even at his worst-(the hilarious

Here, he serves up a tasty dish of intense action sequences and propulsive editing and shows an ability to evoke feelings just through images that rivals Ridley Scott’s, The trouble is, Hill is working with damaged goods. The doctor who performs the operation does so because he believes that Sedley, despite his grotesque deformity, has a decent soul. The opposite problem afflicts Juhnny Handsome, a fine looking creature with a drab heart.

Pucks and pranks in print Penn and Teller’s Cruel for Dear Friends Penn and Teller

Riding on the Roar of the Crowd A Hockey Anthology Campiled by David Gowdey

Macmillan of Canada 328 pages

However, I’ve tried most of these jokes, and they don’t really work, but that’s partly because I don’t hang around numbskulls and dunderheads. If you know a lot of people that get fished in easily, then this book is perfect for you. As for the rest of the population, I can highly recommend the book for the thirty or so short stories that areincluded with the book. Here’s a tip for all readers. Do not buy this book used. There are quite a lot of props that come with this book, including a book of short stories (which has a built-in scam). The actual book itself’ is loaded, with three built-in tricks which come with instructions on how to make money on them. For those people with extra-sensitive friends, the book even includes a trick to help you make up with people who feel personally instilted by the book - invite your first victim to help you scam someone else (after all, cruelty heals all wounds). Of course’ the book is true to the Penn and Teller form, revealing how they cut a woman in half, and how they make pigeons appear out of flaming pans. The book is worth the $15.95 alone for the stories, which do not all involve magic. That’s relatively expensive for a softcover, especially if you’re expecting them to reveal how David Copperfield made thF Statue of Liberty disappear. For readers, the book is a treat, for practica-1 ,jokers and class clowns, however, the book may be a bit of a disappointment.

I like hockey. I like it so much that reading about it is almost as fun as ‘watching it. And lordy, this book is fun. It’s filled with wonderful anecdotes and intelligent analyses; witty observations and enlightened criticism. (Oh, by the way, there are only 67 shopping days until Christmas, and you know how hard it is to shop for your dad...) The first section of the book is Wed Origins. Hugh MacLennan reminisces about the “Original Six” and the legendary players to come out of that early era of tough hockey: Ted Lindsay, Gordie Howe, Rocket Richard, Eddie Shore and more. Then Doug Beardsley traces “The Sheer ]oy of Shinny” and the probable origins of early hockey, from when Mounties used to slape chunky shit-sicles around with broomsticks. And for those hapless Leaf fans, Conn Smythe’s moving account of “Building the Gardens” should bring a tiny tear to the eye. Don Cherry (why does that man wear such ugly collars) froths on at the mouth while telling about “The Siberia of Hockey”, his days with the Springfield Indians. If you can get over that caustic style of his, you’ll find that he’s actually a

good story teller. Part two of the book is in the Arena. Hugh Hood starts with “The Style is the Man”, an intimate look at the playing style of Jean Beliveau. Then, Ken Dryden’s “Saturday” (my favourite part of this book) describes a night at the Forum against the Red Wings; Dryden has a unique, hypnotic manner of writing that takes the reader right into his mind; we see and feel what he does in the change room and on the ice. Any Rangers fans out there? Find out why it’s futile to keep on cheering in “Why the Rangers Will Never Finish On Top”. Read about hockey violence in Klein and Reif’s “We have Only One Person To Blame, and That’s Each Other,” which is a good

analysis of violence in American sport as well. Satisfy your curiosity about Team Canada ‘74 in “Hanging Together, Falling Apart.” And that’s not all: there’s a third section, Moving In Alone, a collection of mini-biographies of Rocket Richard, Max Bentley, and Gordie Howe. There’s a hilarious account from Brian Fswcett, My Career with the Leafs, an incredible tale of how a poet played for a season in the early 70’s. I’m still trying to decide whether or not to believe him. If nothing else, this book is a great procrastination tool. Many a minute is whiled away, savoring witty dialogue,and enjoying emphatic narratives. And hey, trust me,, . your dad will love it.

Cruel

Tricks

for Dear

Friends. This book proves that these New York boys are easily two of the best short story writer’s around. Their stories are just :hock full of imagination and style. Unfortunately, this book is not a collection of short stories, but a text with which to bait your simian friends into revealing themselves to be the pigeons they are. with this book, you can humiliate people you claim to respect and make money from people who trust you - well, at least in theory. Unfortunately, out of the only six tricks in this 200 page book, only a few are really workable. The tricks are very well thought out, but are not really “practicat jokes” in the literal sense. To the book’s credit, it is a sincere attempt to help the book’s buyer enjoy his/herself at the expense of others (to maintain a sense of mystery, I won’t pull a Penn and Teller and revea1 all of the book’s jokes).

Warriors

Yeomen are no men

The. streak

i-stpver!

by Rich Nichol Imprint staff It was bs if they had just won a Super Bowl. It was arguably better than a possible second coming of Christ. It was unbelievable+ The Waterloo Warriors football team finally ended their Canadian college record 33 game losing streak with a 32-g trouncing of the York Yeomen at Esther Shiner Stadium in North York last Saturday. Losing was the rule: this was the exception. Rumours had spread that this seemingly never-ending losing trend would spell the end of the crumbling Waterloo football program. But with the acquisition of Tuffy Knight as head coach, a winning attitude began to build. And now, with a win behind them and the weight off their backs, the Warriors can establish a more positive feeling towards future games. “The defence played exceptionally well and the special teams were phenomenal,” commented the proud coach Knight after the game. “Offensively, I thought we did better against Guelph, although we did do well with the fourth ‘quarter drive. The main thing is we wqn and finally got the monkey off our backs.” UW’s first win brings their record to 1-3 this season, good enough for sixth place out of eight teams in the OUAA West,

We won! We won! The football Warriors spi!l onto the field to join fans in a celebration that would last all night long. Waterloo’s next game is against McMaster in Hamilton on Saturday lust ahead of M&laster. Western, Guelph, and Laurier are jammed up at the top with six points apiece, while Toront,o and Windsor follow close behind with two wins each. The Warriors didn’t dominate the game offensively like they did the previous week against Guelph. Instead, they beat the Yeomen by capitalizing effectively on York’s mistakes. Waterloo collected a small

total of 189 yards on offence, 177 of which were rushing yards. York’s pathetic offence consisted of only 26 yards on the ground and 186 yards in jhe air, with an unforgivable loss of 86 yards. Waterloo’s attack was led by Richard Chen, voted Player of‘ the Game by York, and Dave Ropret, both of whom returned punts for touchdowns.

In the opening quarter things were relatively quiet until Waterloo linebacker Benoit Drouin caught York quarterback Jason Bitter off guard with a sack that cost the Yeomen five yards. York was then forced to punt on 3rd and 19 from their own ten yard line, The inexperienced Yeomen center Enzo Cirillo threw the snap over the punter’s head and out the back of the end zone, conceding two easy points for Waterloo. With two minutes left in the first quarter, Chen returned a York punt 57 yards on an impressive run, dodging several Yeomen, for the first touchdown of the game. Tchir kicked the first of three converts to make the score 9-O. Just before the end o’f the quarter, the York pivot Bitter was stripped of the ball on another sack, this time by defensive lineman Mike Lane.

On the following play, the Yeomen threw a long pass up the middle to wide receiver Keith McFarlane, who .had ten yards on the nearest pursuing Warrior. But it didn’t matter because the Yeomen were still far behind 25-g. The York public address announcer responded to the by sayhome team touchdown ing, “York is still in this one.” The 400 plus fans, most of which were from Waterloo, nearly fell out of the stands laughing. York tried a two point convert but Warrior defensive back Blair Greenly knocked it out of reach. The Warriors showed no mercy late in the game, despite their big lead. Just before the two minute warning, Dave Ropret returned a York punt down theleft sideline 45 yards for Waterloo’s third touchdown. The score would remain 32-g. As the crowd counted the clock down to zero, Waterloo backup pivot / Dave Sharp took the honours of dropping to one knee to end the ball gameand the team went into hysterics. The team was full of emotion, as was evident by some teary eyes on 250 pound bodies. They didn’t care about the tears. They were proud. They were happy!

Quotes from the tegm

“\IVe have defeated defeat” by Rich Nichol Imprint etaff

Not long after the team had completely drowned themselves in champagne and changed their dressing room into one big floating keg, the football Warriors filed onto the team bus in a noisy and appropriately chaotic fashion. Waterloo had kicked butt and began quaffing celebratory malt-based beverages while the radio play-by-play said the Jays were winning in the 8th inning. There was five years of partying to catch up on. Yours truly ventured cautiously onto the team bus for the trip home [with umbrella ready) to get victory quotes from all the players. Fittingly, some of the quotes included some of our most popular four letter combinations, which were blurted out in a nonsober state. Unfortunately under the circumstances, imprint has decided to leave some of them out. Sorry guys! I tried.

44 Dave Shaw [LB) “Being named an All-Canadian doesn’t even come close in comparison with the team feeling that was brought out today with the first win. We’re going to do even better and I’d like to thank the university for’ the boost that their support has given us.”

31 Gene Chartier (FB) “This is a special day. Dave, Brian, and I have been here five years. We’ve seen the good and the bad, but mostly the bad. People don’t realize that we’ve been trying for years to win. I’d like to thank all the people who have stuck with us through thick and thin. I’d like them to see us make it to the top. Finally, I would like to second Lennie’s comment!” 25 Tom Cbartier [RB) “What more could you ask for on your birthday! Thanks a lot to my offensive line, They were flawless today.” 11 Peter Tchir (K) “This is the greatest feeling! We went from o-30 in the last

The first period was characterized by sloppy play, with both teams showing signs of the jitters. Waterloo was unable to complete an effective end-to-end rush until 15 minutes into the match. Of course, this is not unusual for exhibition games, where players must adjust to different line combinations, as well as be disconcerted by the fact that coaches are judging their every move. On the plus side, the rookies showed a swiftness and desire that kept the action exciting. The scoring was fast and furious right fro-m the opening face off.

Medals galore for UWrunne-rs /

by Kevin Shoom Imprint staff A cramp spoiled what was otherwise a stellar day for Waterloo’s cross country teams last Saturday. Paul Ernst had a sub-. stantial lead in the men’s 10 kilometre race when his -diaphragm cramped up, Although passed by Ottawa’s Richard Charrette, Ernst held on for second. Up to that point, the third-year student had been running a smooth, controlled race. “I had

Laffradi started fast and never left the lead pack in the women’s five kilometre event. Her rise to prominence on the OWIAA racing scene has led to choruses of “Who is this Laffradi person?” from rival schools. Athena captain Jill Francis also reaped the benefits of running with the leaders as she took seventh spot. Two other Athenas cracked the top twenty: Nancy Calder placed 17th and Laureen McLaren was 20th. Marci’Aitken, in 28th, and Ingrid Vander-

OUAA silver medal - Paul Ernst OWIAA bronze medal - Lisa Laffradi problems breathing,” Ernst said of his cramp. “I didn’t feel weak at all,” There, were not many disappointing results to be found among the rest of the team+ Lisa Laffradi’s astounding third-place finish led the Athenas to second place as a team. The Warriors, meanwhile+ returned the favour of Ernst’s silver medal in kihd. Queen’s hosted the meet on the couise which will serve as the OUAA/OWIAA Championships site on October 28. Sunnv and warm conditions smiled “down on the gently rolling, *largely forested route as eight Ontario universities fielded teams.

schot in 32nd showed the depth which has made the Athenas a contender. Fiona Griffiths, improving her racing each week, finished 42nd. Linda Hachey took 6oth, and Victoria Seay followed in 63rd. Coach Brent McFar!ane was fairly enthusiastic about the women’s performance. “We’re surprising a 101 of people,” he said afterwards. “A couple of universities thought they could knock Waterlpo off.” The Warriors sent a huge team of 16 runners, second onlv to the h.ost conting&t . Followini Ernst were four. Warriors in the top twenty: Steve Symon (fsth], Peter, Self <(17th), Al Faulds

[lgth], and Robin Beynon (20th). Jeff Anderson, head coach of the cross country team, was impressed with his team’s depth and tactics. “We were clump running today,” he said after the race. . The Waterloo clumps cropped up elsewhere in the pack. Shamir Jamal and Brian Hagameier came in together, with Jamal taking 27th by fractions of a second. Chris Rogers, coming off of an injury in 41st, was in the sights of 44th place Peter Brooks, while Mark Rab in 50th narrowly held off fast-charging Kevin Shoom in 52nd. Pat Macdonnell and Steve Bentley ‘placed 59th and 60th respectively, and Daves Massie (67th) and Frake (71st) and Scott McDonald (85th) rounded out the WatSquad. Toronto won the women’s division while. Queen’s took the , men’s. One question was answered as the Ottawa team made an appearance. Talent-laden but apparently lacking in depth, the Gee-Gees placed three runners in the top ten and their fourth was gist! The Warriors did not get a good look at Western or Toronto, however, as neither team was at, full strength. Waterloo next sees action on October 2lst at the Laurier meet in Bechtel Park.

Friday, October 13, 1989 by Marcela Krajny . Imprint staff Last week, the Athena Tennis team continued its outstanding winning streak. Against Wilfrid Laurier, the Athenas won all three of their doubles and lost only one out of six sin&s matches. Playing Guelph, they won all their singles and lost one outs of three doubles matches, ending up with the same 8-l victory over Guelph as was achieved against WLU. The first hour pf play saw’a little bit of sunshine, and then

the temperature dropped drastically to . seemingly arctic weather.

Big splash in the regattas

Rowing ,team makes pleasing debut by Laurie Featberetone

Rowing has been given varsity status this fall at Waterloo with four crews competing in the fall utiiversity program. The rowing season began Sept. 30 at the 19th Annual Head Of The Trent Regatta. Three Waterloo crews entered in the coxed four category. The race took place on the Otanabee River and the Trent Canal and covered a distance of 4.4 kilometres. The Head Of The Trent is a relatively large regatta with university crews and club crews participatin’g in the race. This fall’s university schedule is a busy one, with races every Saturday until the end of October. The races for the remainder of the season will be sprints ranging in distance from 12OOmto 20001~ The three crews from Waterlbo were pleased with the results of their first race.

Fortunately for Waterloo, the university rowing program has

been altered, allowing smaller boats (singles, pairs, and fours] to enter in the Ontario University rowing regattas. Traditionally university rowing has been dominated by the larger boats (eights).

Western struck first in the opening half despite some strong defensive play\ by rookie Lisa Armstrong, Carolyn Robinson, Patti Crawford, Caitlin McGregor and veteran HeIen Snare. In the second half, Western committed a foul within the Athenas’ goal circle, which resulted in a free st rake for Waterloo forward link Annette Koehler, The shot successfully passed the Western goalkeeper, and the game was tied up by KoehIer. Neither Waterloo nor Western were able to score again and the end resuli was a I-I tie. The Athenas met the University of Toron I I) players in their second and final game of the day on Saturday. Although the Athenas came out prepared to play Toronto, they could not cant rol possession of the ball. The only Athena goal was scored in the second half by left winger Maureen “Sub” Owens on a heaut iful cross pass from inside forward Janet MacPhersun. The TOrtJIlt team cant inued to play at a strong and skillful level, taking the game in a 2-1 win ovf+r Waterloo.

The Athenas will continue to practice and hone their skills on Columbia Field until the weather prevents them from doing so. The Athenas will be limited in 1 I -

The Athenas played their best game of the season, winning balls in the midfield with hard tackling and hard work, Waterloo dominated the se‘cond half, with the fullbacks shutting down Mac’s forwards and Macdonald making some key saves. The Athenas just missed tying the score late in the second half when midfieldrlr Kerry lameson connected with a header off B far-post corner kick

Their next home game will be October 17 at 4130 pm, against GueIph. Come out and show fan support for an exciting Athena inter-university sport!

A big Mmacattack

Every fall, it seems, the arrival of October means injuries for the Athena squad. The Athena soccer team faced McMaster October 1 - a beautiful fail day without their goalkeeper Tammi Winchester. In practice September 29, she took a hard shot off the hand and sprained the ligaments. Friday evening was rookie initiation and the injury went virtually unnoticed (I wonder why?) until . Saturday. Sunday afternoon centre half Sheri Macdonald donned the gloves and keeper’s jersey to face Canada’s third-ranked team, McMaster. The Mai;auders were late getting to the field and the Waterloo squad went right at them. McMaster scored in the first half during a mix up off a corner kick. .’

by Anita Toogood. The ball went just over the crossbar and the game ended 1-O for the visitors. The entire team showed great hustle and determination and ar.e currently tied for the last playoff spot in the OWIAA West division.

Rugby team

First time by Peter Brown Imprint staff The Rugby Warriors were given a lesson in homefield advantage last Saturday. They roadtripped to Kingston, where they lost to Queen’s on their smallish field by a 23-15 score. The play of Marc Cohoon and Darren Wilton stood out, with Wilton providing all of Waterloo’s points on four penalty kicks and one kick for post. The whole black and gold side was flat, perhaps psyched out by the impressive credentials of many of the Queen’s players. The game was certainly within reach, but Queen’s was tactically flawless for the most part. The Golden Gaels pressured Waterloo’s fullback and,wingers immediately with a kicking game led by National Team fulIback Dave Lougheed. The redsocked Warriors did not field

high kicks well in this game, putting them in a hole early on this short field, a scant 95 yards. Queen’s forwards pressured constantly, and the Gaels completely dominated lineouts. Still, Waterloo persevered, and held the half-time score to 9-6 in favour of the Gaels. The Queen’s side secured some offence in the second half, scoring two tries and adding two more kicks for their 23 points, The score could have been much more lopsided, since the official called back two Queen’s tries, the second resulting in an unusual score for the Warriors. After the official disallowed the try, some of the Gaels argued vehemently, and the man with the whistle responded by assessing a penalty which moved the ball ten yards back from Water-

loo’s tryline. This angered the Gaels even more, and they cnn-

1 tinued to protest. The official penalized them again, and this continued until the ball was Waterloo’s, just inside the Queen’s half. This set up a brilliant kick for post by Wilton, in one of the few times that the short field favoured the Warriors. Queen’s demonstrated their remarkable depth in the Junior Varsity game, trouncing Waterloo 36-O. Six Warriors went out with injuries, ranging from a blown knee to a scratched cornea, leaving Waterloo to finish much of the second half undermanned by two, with 13 players. The Varsity loss drops Waterloo to second place in the OUAA’s Division One. They’re still sporting a strong 3-l record, identical to Queen’s, but are officially 2nd by virtue of the Gaels victory. The Warriors travel to London on Saturday (tomorrow) to play the fourth pl.aceWestern Mustangs for the second time this season. 6-O victors over York last weekend, the 2-2 ‘Stangs have improved since Waterloo’s 13-8 stirring, comeback win here three weeks ago, so no one on the Warrior side expects a pushover. In fact, there’s no holiday for this team, as their next home game is against a strong McMaster squad on Oktoberfest weekend, Saturday, Oct. 14. The Marauders are current’ly in 3rd place, with a 2-1-l record, but host Queen’s this weekend. York and Guelph round out fhe hot tom of the division.

What does it mean for us, the students?: - better lighting with 48 1000 Watt metal halide lamps - year-round play with no court fees during University times - an 80% increase in available court times - a more efficient furnace and double-membrane bubble means that operating costs will be kept to a minimum, which means that students (indirectly) and taxpayers should be content that their money is being spent wisely - as well as the four new courts, courts I I and 12 (previously outside] were resurfaced.

Baseball fever: Jays versus the A-3 by Al Folliott Imprint staff As baseball’s pqular season has ended, a second season begins: the playoffs. This gives us a chance to look at what might happen in post-season play as well as some possibilities concerning major individual awards. AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES Toronto versus OakIand: The A’s have the best pitching staff in baseball. Fortunately for Toronto, the four Oakland starters are right handed‘ fastball pitchers. The Jays hit better against righties and are an excellent fastball hitting team. Oakland had the best record in baseball despite a rash of injuries to key players such as Jose Canseco, Walt Weiss, and Dennis Eckersley. Both teams are healthy now, which should make this an exciting series. Prediction: Oakland in 7 NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES San Francisco versus Chicago: The Giants are by far the most talented team, with Will Clark and Kevin Mitchell providing the best 1-2 punch in the league.

The Cubs have played above their heads most of the season and should be handled easily by the Giants. -. Prediction: Giants in 5 WORLD SERIES: A’s in 7 NATIONAL LEAGUE AWARDS M.V.P. Award - Kevin Mitchell, San Francisco: With 125 RBI’s and 47 homers, Mi’tchell led the Giants to their second division title in three years. With superior statistics and a contribution to a winning team, Mitchell should be an easy winner. Other notables: Will 2Clark, San Francisco; Eric Davis, Cincinnati; Pedro Geurrero, St.Louis; Howard Johnson, New York. Cy Young Award - Mike Scott, Houston: Scott’s 20 wins were tops in the National Leaguy. His nine. . complete games w&e second. The Astros could always count on a strong performance from the league’s most consistent starter.

Other notables: Rick Reuschel, San Francisco; Mark Davis, San Diego. Rookie of the Year - Jerome Walton, Chicago: Walton was the sparkplug of the Cubs this season. His 30game hitting streak was the large*stin the majors this season. His ,293 average was seventh best in the National League. Other notables: Greg Jeffries, New York,. 1 Manager of the Year - Don Zimmer, Chicago: Zimmer got the most out of a team which lacks the talent of m.ost contenders.- The collapse which was supposed to come all year never did. Other notables: Roger Craig, San Fransisco. GOLD GLOVE WINNERS: 1B Will Clark, San Fransisco 2B Ryne Sandberg, Chicago SS Ozzie Smith, St. Louis 3B Tim Wallach, Montreal OF Eric Davis, Cincinnati OF Andy Van Slyke, Pittsburg OF Tony Gwynn, San Diego

C Benito Santiago, San Diego AMERICAN LEAGUE AWARDS M.V.P. Award - George Bell, Toron to: With no runaway candidates, this award should go to a player on a winning team. No player has helped his team down the stretch more than George Bell. With men on base, he is the best. Even though his homerun totals have dropped, he still had 104 RBI’s and a solid .297 average. George Bell’s clutch hitting saved the, pennant for the Jays in September. Other. notables: Reuben Sierra, Texas; Robin Yount, MiIwaukee; Nick Esasky. Boston. Cy Young Award - Brett Saberhagen, Kansas City: Saberhagen’s 23 wins and 2.16 ERA led the league. He was third with 193 strikeouts in over ZOO innings. Saberhagen’s statistics make him the obvious choice for his second Cy Young award. Other notables: Tom Gordon, Kansas City.

Rookie of the Year - Greg Olson, Baltimore: Olson set an American League rookie Necord with 27 saves, most of which came in! the second half. He was the -ain reason why the Orioles didn’t collapse as expected. Other notables: Tom Gordon, Kansas City. Manager of the Year - T&y LaRussa, Oakland: Even though Frank Robinson will probably win this1 award, LaRussa deserves it th’ most. The A’s had the best r cord in baseball -with four of t eir top players on the D.L. for e tensive periods. It’s tough enougi to deal with adversity and be ‘ood, let alone the best.
