90,days till Via gets axed by Yetta Veerman Imprint staff Less than 90 days remain until Via gets the axe. On January 15, 1990, the federal government will cut Via services in half. Currently, 55 trains serve the Kitchener-Waterloo area. As it statids, four trains a day will be cut. Two of these rtins are in the ~~;cs morning and evening .

were represented. The committee decided to petition the federal government to delay all Via cuts until the royal commission on Via completes its report. The commission, recently mandated, reportedly has no municipal representation, and thus may not be fair in its findings, committee membeis said. The Via cuts were made by an order-in-council, and are therefore reversible. In 1981, the Liberal government made simiigr cuts to Via which were subsequently reversed. The alternative of extending GO train services was also discussed, but is not a solid possibility. GO has publicly stated it is not interested in -picking up Via’s services. U.,i &urge *Bechtel, dhairperson for the committee, said that the government defends the cuts because Canadian geography makes successful rail services impossible. Bechtel disagreed, citing the example of Australia, which has a population density similar to Canada’s, ,and runs a successful public railway. ‘*These are cuts that nobody wants,” Bechtel state$ “They go ‘against the world trmd.” 3 l

model parliament

Tibfor-tat

Minister of Science, Andrew Dalby. “Why do men have nipples?” Jay demanded, referring to the campus question that appeared in the last issue of Imprint. Jay demanded that the minister ensure the answering of this question in the future, while pointing out the failure of the government to do so in the past. “Men have nipples just because,” Dalby retorted. The answer brought the House to its knees in unrestrained laughter. Later, the New Democratic Party got its turn at minority government. The Prime Minister, the right honourable Lisa Descary, entered Question Period while dodging inquiries abaut a possible NATO pull-out and the proposed bill on VIA Rail. The bill was later defeated. It was clear to participants that the Third Annual Model Parliament was a great success, made so by each individual member of their respective party. However, this year’s model had the added attraction of the Independents, which included the Reform Party, the Monarchists For Equality Party, the Moderate Feminist Party, the Anarchist Party, the Kitchener Separatist Party and the Working Class Scum Party. All in all, the spirit of Model Parliament permeated every soul in the House. It contributed greatly to the success of this year’s Model Parliament. May that spirit of Model Parliament continue to do so in future proceedings.

by Nancy Usjek “May divine providence guide your every effort”, exhorted MP Jake Epp at the opening ceremonies ‘that kicked off the Third Annual Model Parliament at Conrad Grebel College last Saturday. Whether divine providence did guide the proceedings is debatable. Approximately fifty people representing four different parties took part in the all-day event. The Liberal Party was led by Thomas Richards, the Progressive Conservative Party by Dan Stevenson, the New Democratic Party by Lisa Descary, and the Independents by Greg Carter. The parties all debated vehemently about the various bills introduced.

Zoning by-law deferred FALL AUTHOR

Fakworse by ludy Holland8 Imprint staff All the world leaders were allowed to ask God one question. The president of the U.S. asked, “Will communism come to my country?” and God replied, “Not in your lifetime.” The Soviet leader asked, “Will capitalism come to my country?” and God replied, “Not in your lifetime.” The leader of Brazil asked, “Will we be able to pay back our debt?” God answered, “Not in my lifetime.” Susan George, author of A Fate Worse Than Debt, began her talk on third world debt with this humorous anecdote. Addressing a crowd of over 200 on Wednesday night at the,Mumanities Theatre, her whimsical introduction contrasted the very serious topic she discussed. The speech focused on the so

cial implications and impacts of third world debt. George emphasized that debt “is not a financial question.” Her goal is to get the issue “off the business pages of newspapers,” adding that you do not need to be an economist to understand how debt contributes to suffering and poverty. Brazil is currently the third world’s largest debtor, owing over $120 billion. It is estimated that two-thirds of the population there is malnourished, and studies have shown the dismal nutritional standards are creating a “population of dwarfs.” Simply, children are not growing at normal rates because they are not eating enough. George said. Susan George began by explaining how the debt crisis evolved in terms of the roles of both borrowers and lenders. With the OPEC crisis in the early

1 ‘Big bucks by Yetta Veerman Imprint staff Does the money never stop? At the official opening of the Centre for Cultural Management on October 20, the arts administration

specialization received another whopping pledge, $775,000 from the Samuel and Saidye Bronfman Foundat ion. Earlier this term, the Chalmers family of Toronto donated a million dollars to arts administration, a co-op program which educates students to work in arts management positions. Held in the Davis Centre, the opening was attended by heavy cultural brass, including arts $atron Belle Shenkman, Dr. Floyd and Jean Chalmers, the Honourable Christine Hart, minister of cult&e, and John Hobday, executive director of the Bionfman foundation. The Honourable . Christine Hart officially opened the Centre. In her remarks, Hart admitted she had not heard of arts administration or the centre, this being a university known for engineering, math and computers. Hart expressed pleasant surprise at Waterloo’s newest ventur’e. “Culture means many jobs, and is a spur to our economy,” said the newly elected minister of culture. UW President Doug Wright was on hand to accept the cheque from Hobday, promising to make it work. William Poole, currently head of the National Ballet School, has been named director of the Centre, Poole said he was challenged by the centre, and finds the university remarkable.

“I feel very welcome here,” Poole exclaimed. “We are treated like visiting royalty. I will do everything I possibly can to make the centre a success.” Dr.- David John, dean of applied studies, under which arts administration falls, said he was glad to welcome Poole aboard. Key speaker and arts patron Belle Shenkman has years of experience under her belt in managing arts organizations. Shenkman, who was awarded an honorary doctorate at Saturday’s convocation, advised current arts administration students on running cultural organizations. . * “Never, never fear competition. Watch it.” Shenkman said. “Build up the image of the musical director. Do your homework. Create original programs, and watch out for repeats.” As for fundraising, a key activity for al3 cultural organizations, ballet orchestras, or t heatres, Shenkman said managers should not go running to the government or corporations when they need money, but develop a network. One result of inefficient fundraising are over-priced tickets. Shenkman gave the example of Covent Garden in London, which has become so elitist the only ones who can afford to attend shows there are corporations, which buy blocks of tickets and send customers. As director of the centre, Poole said his agenda will include continuing with arts administration, developing non-credit courses and enhancing scholarly research into cultural management.

Teaching deserves more credit Professors act both as teachers and researchers. To students, their primary role is that of a teacher, yet it is undoubtedly their research for which they receive wide recognition. As well, when professors are hired, it is often assumed that because they have attained a PhD, thus proving themselves as researchers, they know how to teach. In order to teach elementary or secondary school, potential teachers spend a year obtaining certification. It can be argued that teacher’s college does not effectively train educators, hut .at least it exists. At Ieast they are required to have some training in teaching methods. Newly-hired professors do not necessarily have any teaching experience, and often are not given any kind of teaching training courses. Professors at UW are better off than many at other universities; here they can turn to Trace, the Teaching Resources and Continuing Education Centre, for some help. Once hired, professors are expected to continue publishing their research in order to be promoted. At UW, to advance to associate professor status, you must be able to teach and research well. But you cannot make the final step to full professorship without being recognized as an outstanding researcher. In the April issue of University Affairs magazine, published by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Capada, Western’s Professor S.D. Neil1 examines the relationship between research and teaching. He quotes a 1983 study by Western professors that found that “being good, bad or indifferent at one activity has veQ little implication for pe’rformance at the other.” Neil1 disagrees with the common belief that to be a good teacher you must do research. He says universities shouldlook at the functions of teaching and research as separate, but equally important, activities, and acknowledge that professors may not be good at both. Granting agencies that fund research don’t care about teaching’ or any other activity a professor is involved in-all they care about is research. Thus professors are faced with the “publish or perish” syndrome. Some professors spend as little time as possible working on their teaching, so they can concentrate on their research. They are then rewarded for it, if they’re..good, with more research funding, promotions, and greater academic stature. Others feel teaching comes first, and concentrate on it. They may be well regarded by students, get good evaluations’ and even be awarded distinguished teacher awards, but without good, published research, they are much less likely to be promoted or officially recognized. The real shame of this system is that the professors devoted to teaching - their chief role for us as students - are not better recognized. Universities should give these people more credit. Surely teaching and research are equally important. Why qren’t they equally rewarded?

* In the midst of stupidity What a wonderful government, or rather, Prime Minister we have looking out for our country. The Tories have been lurching from stupid ideas to polititial catastrophies and back to stupid ideas. Cutting Via services is the latest brainstorm from the masterminds of Free Trade. It takes all of two or three seconds to contemplate the consequences of taking 2.4 million people off of Via. So why are they doing it? Well, they haven’t exactly done it yet: January is the month of Via’s demise. Let’s look back a couple of months. The GST is part of Wilson’s deficit reduction plan. It is also necessary to implement the GST, says Mr. Wilson, to prey serve the high standard of living and social services Canadians expect. The hidden agenda is to cut spending on social development policies and services. I believe it all started back in 1985 when Mulroney

tried to de-

index senior citizen’s old age pensions. There is so much stupidity generated by Ottawa that it’s hard to distinguish one crisis from the next. However, this Via rail affair will undoubtedly remain somewhat memorable to Canadians.

Why’s that.? Try to catch a train once the routes are gone. No luck? Take a bus. It’ll be caught in the same traffic jam that the other 2.4 million displaced commuters will be in. Our born-again environmentalist Mulroney has no doubt taken into a’ccount how much more carbon and nitrous oxides will be emitted into the atmosphere as a result of the extra cars on the roads. Oh, I almost forgot. Two new runways at Pearson International Airport are being proposed. Of course! Everyone who can no longer take Via can simply fly to work (in their private planes) if they live in Toronto, And planes are so quiet and environment-friendly. The last time I took a train anywhere was about five years ago, so why am I complaining? Because the federal government is once again ignoring the people it is supposed to serve. Also, the facts I have seen (from both sides)

cut which carries twice as many passengers as the one which will continue running. Would you be astonished to learn that remaining route just happens to go through the ridings of three MPs? There is something inherently wrong with a government that ignores voter’s opposition and implements unpopular legislation anyway. I shouldn’t blame the whole government. Mulroney is the agenda-setter and holder of patronage powers, He is abusing the power given to him by the Canadian people, To all you die-hard Conservatives out there - aren’t you getting

even the least bit annoyed at the Prime Minister’s indifference to public opinion? Once again, they haven’t cut the routes yet, and there are a lot of public and private hearings to be held that will bring out untold volumes of information that will assuredly enlighten the decision-makers as to the best route (bad pun, couldn’t resist) to take. Just like Free Trade. Merry Christmas! Next month: Canada Post privatized and Mulroney consults astrologer about when to call an election. David Thomson

Responsible To the editor,

“Perspective: use it or lose it,” That quote came immediately to mind upon reading Mr. Blair’s comment piece regarding the reaction to the use of the swastika. As is often the case with Imprint, Mr. Blair has missed the entire point. He should have taken his own advice about knee-jerk reactions, If you read the letters regarding the swastika over again, you will probably see that the swastika was simply a focal poiat for argument. The underlying issue, the “big picture”, is journalistic responsibility. What kind of reaction do you expect from printing a swastika out of context? By the publishing of Lyn McGinnis’s pro-abortion drivel? By the “Her Majesty’s Se-

cret Cervix” headline (how Iong did it take you to think that up?]?, by the “autoerotic asphyxiation” piece? Does this in any way resemble responsible journalism? Do you actually believe any self-respecting reporter would go out of his/her way to insult or annoy an audience? To be offensive in order to make a point is one thing. To do it simply because it’s “cool” or “the in thing,” or just because you have an audience is quite another. Ask yourself: what are your motives? Mr. Blair has got himself so wrapped up in the issue of the moment that he conveniently ignores the larger question. This ignorance of the “big picture” is not of his own making. It is a condition suffered by most univkrsity types (myself included] brought on by years of bulimic

learning - that is, absorb it now, spew it out come.exam time. The “big picture” is ignored, Too much emphasis on trivial details, not enough (if any) on the larger context. Maybe Mr. Blair should heed his own advice - “Question the validity of the premise by which you base your reaction” - regarding _ his exceedingly long winded response, before accusing readers of being “slaves to symbols, ” “in desperation to be counted.” ‘Nuff said. My anger is spent, My conscience is clear,. The argument is over, Let’s have a beer.

History

To the editor, I am writing this letter in response to Crispin Cowan’s letter of October 20. I am shocked at the title chosen by Imprint staff for this letter. The person who took it upon him/herself to choose such a title is risking treading upon liable waters. The fact that Imprint is a member of the Ontario Community Newspaper Association should play a major role in ensuring that the opinions expressed by its readers are respected and that the “newspaper” does not impose its own opinion upon someone else’s, The title chosen for Crispin Cowan’s letter leaves the impression that the Imprint staff is iaking the same otiinion about Teri - you did formulate a title which was not taken as a direct quote from the letter - a common characteristic of such

“newspapers” as the “National Inquirer.” I thought the purpose of Imprint was to represent the students of the University of Waterloo and not to make critical and degrading assessments about them. As fol; Crispin Cowan’s response to Teri’s article of October 13, if one is to ATTEMPT to discuss an adult issue such as abortion, then one should also attempt to do so in an adult fa-, shion, One would expect this kind of name-calling at an elementary school level, however, one would not expect this kind of behaviour from a university graduate. We all realize that the issue of abortion is a very emotional and controversial one, but please, let’s try to remain civil shall we? m ~Ir~;fomes

Horrible

bodies!

DEAR SEXPERT: My boyfriend and I have a great relationship or SO I thought. I recently moved in with him and found a large stack of Playboy magazines in the closet, He said he didn’t read them anymore and the only reason he still has them is because of their monetary value. That was fine. He knew they bothered me, but I agreed to let them stay at the bottom of the closet. That was about two weeks ago. Yesterday I found another magazine inside a Maclean’s. This one was opened to some really ugly pictures of girls with bodies that were the extreme opposite of mine. I’m extremely offended by this, We have sex at least three times a week. I’ve never said no to him and he always says I’m the best lover he’s ever had. So why does he need these trashy magazines?

What am I doing wrong? I feel like he’s not satisfied with ow sex life so he has to look at these horrible pictures. He refuses to get rid of them and says I’m being narrow-minded. I thought ow relationship was great, but now I’m scared and I don’t know what to do. It makes me feel sick when he touches me now. I can’t help thinking of those other women who are completely different from me. What can I do to make him realize how this is hurting me? I’ve tried telling him, but he doesn’t believe it’s his problem. Help! ANSWER: In this situation there are only two relevant opinions about erotica - yours and your boyfriend’s, First of all, you are not doing anything wrong. It is obvious that you have put a lot into this relationship and you shouldn’t feel that the problem exists because of anything you have (or haven’t) done. The reason that he reads Playboy probably’has nothing at all to do with your body or your sex life. However, I am not saying that you are unjustifiedin being upset with his insistence on reading the magazine. His apparent disregard for your feelings is definitely something to be concerned about. You have tried to tell him that you are offended and upset by his behaviour, it’s therefore difficult to know how you can make him’ realize that he is hurting you. It is probably worthwhile to make a few more attempts at communicating your feelings to him, Perhaps it will sink in once he realizes that this is more than a “passing concern.” If your boyfriend absolutely refuses to stop reading Playboy, you will have a difficult decision to make: whether you would rather stay with him and put up with this or whether you would be happier without him. I realize that neither of these outions is ideal and there will likely be a lot of hurt whatever you:decide. There are many things to consider - positive and negative aspects of the relationship, living arrangements+ future plans, and so on, It usually helps to talk things Over with either a friend or someone more impartial.

To the editor,

Once again seemingly inteliigent Canadians are being blinded by the glint of gleaming gold Olympic medals. Ben Johnson is a loser; to allow him to run again for Canada is a mistake. Ben Johnson’s intelligence and athletic ability are questionable, but let’s give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he isn’t stupid (forget about him pointing a starter pistol at people on the 401) and maybe he can run 100 metres in under ten seconds. The one thing we cannot doubt is his lack of character. This is what failed him in the past and will fail him in’the future. The man is obsessed with getting

Anyone who denies the derogatory implications of the symbolic use of swastikas is insolent, narrow-minded and naive. What message was Mr. Blair attempting to convey to his readers by including swastikas in his rating guide?

Power To the editor, If the statements of Dr. Gary Griffin, the new Independent Studies academic director,. are accepted, nineteen years of shared student involvement in the program were literally impossible. A recent article in the Gazette states: “Griffin said it was impossible to expect students to have ‘the right kind of involvement in the academic or administrative hierarchies,’ which are crucial to an academic program.” Born in the dying days of the 196os, IS was never able to escape a campus image of a radicalized student government in conflict. In December, UW’s Senate ended that government. ‘The real story of the old IS was a complex one. For students who chose to become involved in activities in the program, the focal point had been the council which held regular town hall meetings of students and staff, with the chairperson for each meeting being chosen from those in at-

is the reason for IS fall tendance. Students sat on a variety of administrative committees and shared in decision-making about staffing, admissions and financial matters. They were paid to tutor other students and they also co-evaluated term performance reports. All that has ended now. These activities were in addition t 0 participation in staff/student-developed small group learning projects and a variety of other learning involvements, including courses, as students pursued the breadth and depth components of their self-designed programs of study across campus and beyond. It all culminated in two terms in degreephase, during which students researched an wrote a Bachelor ;Leil.dependent Studies (BIS) . It w’as a flood of both academic and non-academic possibilities for involvement in learning.. Some UW personnel accused students of becoming too involved in the administrative learning activities, and some of the students willingly admitted that. such involvement could be-

Disgusting To the editor, I was disgusted by John Zachariah’s comments about Cinexplex Odeon in his recent review of Phantom of the Opera. Cineplex Odeon invited him to a free showing of Phantom [worth about $701, gave him a program (value about $lO), a record ($5?], fed and watered him, and allowed him to tour the backstage and speak to the cast. For this, he associates Cineplex Odeon with “global disintegration” and “Union Carbide,” Just being a “megacorporation” these days is sufficient excuse for attack, it seems. How would Mr. Zachariah have liked Cineplex to treat him?

Re: the article contained in the October 13 issue of Imprint concerning Angela Evans and the Miss Oktoberfest Pageant Protest coffee house, what a load of shit! When will the misled members of the Women’s Institute, particularily Angela Evans, realize that this is a free country and the thought of more censorship being rammed down my throat sickens me. I’ve been trying to understand what motivates these rebellious women and have finally figured it out - it’s jealousy. All the members of the Women’s Institute glow green with envy, Gee! Could it be possible that the Feminists were eager to chase the pageant off of campus because all the women in the contest were better-looking? I was amused by the totally irrelevant costumes worn by the picketers last year and was disappointed that I would not be similarly entertained this year by Feminists who were wishing they were inside

Would he rather that they had not invited him? Or, once invited, should they have neglected him completely, leaving him in an uncomfortable seat in the back row to escape being accused of “shameless bribery?+’ Sure, Cineplex wanted to make a good impression, but what’s wrong with that? Is Mr. Zachariah saying he has such a shaky sense of his ownopinions that he cannot write an unbiased review of a play if its producers treat him royally before and after the performance? Mr. Zachariah says, “Corporate sponsorship of the arts will no doubt be viewed increasingly askance by anyone who regularly exercises their social conscience.”

consider their attitudes towards society and act on more important issues that are of serious concern to the women on campus.

How are corporations to redeem themselves in Mr. Zac hariah’s prejudiced eyes if not by sponsoring charities and the arts? Mr Zachariah says, “The Phantom of the Opera could be shown in a school gym and still be just as good,” by way of disparaging his hosts’ pride in the newly-refurbished Pantages Theatre. It might be as good in a gym, but why deny so many people their excitement with the Pantages and the Phantom? The show is sure to sell tickets and what’s wrong with that? From photographs in the press, it looks beautiful, and I’d like to see it. What I am objecting to is the general cynicism towards business that informs Mr. Zachariah’s article. If he wanted to attack Cineplex Odeon, he should have written a standalone article that detailed specific practices of that corporation and how they are harmful. Instead, he did what bigots have always done: he identified Cineplex Odeon with an unpopular group (big business] in order to disparage it, Certainly Cineplex Odeon is a big business, but so what? I assume that Mr. Zachariah is not scathing all human beings because of the Hitlers and the Boston Stranglers amongst us. Likewise, I assume that he does not condemn all religious groups because of the repression and bloodshed that have resulted from certain sects at certain times. Surely, the most dangerous thing in our complell; world is the intolerance of condemning all for the behaviour of some. And it is espe’cially disturbing to discover such attitudes being spread by our journalists. The food that we eat, the clothes that we wear, and thegovernment services that we enjoy all come, in the end, from the efficiency of our business structure. If there are problems that you perceive with that structure Mr. Zachariah, deal with them suggest solutions, work to achieve them - but do not contribute to simplisfic and damaging misconceptions.

tie. Brinkley crying the blues about having s’uccessful modelling careers. If you women don’t like pageants don’t think about or look at them, no one is forcing you to and I doubt any women ran to the Women’s Institute in fear that the pageant was a threat to their existence. It is pathetic to watch women ridicule these events simply because some women can make an excellent living off of their looks, while many ugly women have to bust their ass to pass a meager buck, Upon consideration there is something more pathetic than this, and that is guys jumping on the Feminist band wagon in order to score brownie points, It’s obvious that Imprint reporter Jason Rochon was more impressed by the “cheap drinks,” and only bullshitted his way through the coffee house in order tp get at the beverages. Mr. Rochon, if you can’t be impartial then get the hell off of the Imprint staff in order to leave room for someone who can be. I suggest that the individuals I have mentioned

versity never required nor attempted to put in place a mechanism for internal problem resolution in IS. Problems often festered and spilled out onto the campus in search of external solution. Students do not lack intelligence’ but they can and often do lack experience in conflict resolution, particularly when it involves persons in positions of authority. According to both students and staff, members of the Senate review committee consulted each group only once before making their December recommendat ions - and then failed to implement any of several proposals for constructive change originating- from within the program. I do not believe it augers well for a university, as a centre of higher learning, to be unable to resolve internal conflicts without ongoing dialogue and efforts to achieve consensus. If reason - and reasonableness are to be found anywhere’ it should be in the training ground-s of the future professionals and leaders of our society,

Within IS, I found many students and staff members had been deeply involved in trying to achieve the best possible results in every aspect of the program’s multi-faceted learning process. Among its members there was a unique sense of family in IS. I saw it and I saw the love in it, even amid the ruins of the winter term, in light of the university’s present approach to the program, efforts I participated in to explore new modes for student involvement were eventually abandoned, I am now preparing for degree-phase, In consultation with advisors and thesis supervisors, IS students are deemed mature enough to plot and successfully pursue their own programs of academic study. The question thus arises: might they still not be able to offer something in a shared and possibly enriched - learning experience within IS?

The program only had an enrollment of 60 to 70 students and, in a normal fashion, participation by students in IS activities varied from a handful to a significant majority, depending on specific issues and interests. Power is a two-edged sword. It can lead to conflicts arising from clashes in a struggle for control but, as a learning experience, it can also generate commitment and responsible self-action. As a who middle-aged journalist transferred from ERS to IS last winter, I saw both experiences occurring in the program - not just the former. After 1985, student control in the program was shared in a series of committees whose membership included student-hired academic advisors, IS academic board members (professors from the various faculties who served voluntarily), university administrators, and a university-appointed academic director.

by Michael Matthew Subletting Question: I understand now how subletting works, but my landlord refuses to let me sublet. Even if he eventually does allow mq, to do so, he says he will charge me at least $300: Can he do this? Answer: According to.the Landlord Tenant Act (LTA), a landlord cannot unreasonably. withhold consent to assign ‘or sublet, although the lease can specify that the landlord’s approval is required. The landlord is entitled only to recovery of actual out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties during the sublet or assignment process, such as for a credit check or drawing up a new lease. The landlord is not entitled to recover any internal or in-house administrative costs which the landlord claims to incur, according to a- recent district court decision upholding a divisional court ruling. If you can prove to a judge that consent is being unreasonably withheld, the judge might permit you to terminate your tenancy. In brder to do this, you most likely tiuld have to have presented several possible sub-tenants to the landlord who were then turned down for other than economic reasons. Keeping track of the rejected sub-tenants’ names and addresses is a good idea so they can act as witnesses, if need be. It is important to note that current case law has established that month-to-month tenants - including those whose leases had “expired” - do not have the right to assign or sublet for more than one month. However, many landlords will still accept a subtenant or assignee in this situation. Damage Deposits Question: My landlord wants a damage deposit of $500, Do I have to give it to her? Answer: No. The only type of deposit that a landlord can legally demand is an amount less than or equal to the last month’s rent if the rent is paid monthly or at greater intervals (i.e. antiually).If the rent is paid more frequently’ for example, bi-weekly or weekly, the deposit cannot exceed one-half of one month’s rent. The landlord is required by the LTA to pay the tenant interest at the rate of six percent per annum on the deposit for as long as it is held. If you have already paid the landlord the deposit, write her explaining it is illegal to charge such a deposit, and that you are demanding the return of the full-amount over and above the amount she may legally retain. If the landlord refuses to return the-deposit, you can lay acharge with a Justice of the Peace [J.P.] who can order the return of the deposit and fine the landlord. Seizure of Belongings Question: I was late with my rent and my landlord seized some of my belongings and refuses to return them. Can he do this? Answer: No! You can call the police and have the landlord charged with

if the

You can also lay a charge with a J,P, under LTA 122 for violation of section 86 (distrainment not ,allowed]. The police evidence of the landlord refusing to return the goods would be good independent evidence.

To- Your. Health a Just the facts-on Drinking at universities is coming under scrutiny lately. Everyone is throwing out their opinion, so I thought I’d throw out mine.

The blood alcohol level is a ratio of ethanol as a percentage in the blood stream (which is mostly water). Comparing two people,of equal weight, a leaner person [higher water content) would have a lower blood alcohol level than a fatter person (lower water content] after the same number of drinks. Using the average person, one to two drinks in an hour causes flushing of the skin, increased heart rate and increased use of the vocal chords. Three drinks slows judgment, causes giddiness and impairs coordination and driving. Five drinks causes blurred vision, fuzzy speech and slowed reaction time. Eight drinks causes staggering, double vision and loss of balance. Fifteen to twenty drinks causes clammy skin, dilated pupils, and “out like a light” syndrome, If you can say, “Ha, I can hold more than the, average person”, that is probably true. First, there is no average person (neither male nor female]. Second, alcohol prevalence on campuses causes two effects, learning and tolerance. Learning, due to repeated exposure, is people adapting to appear normal at moderately high levels of alcohol intake. General motor abilities like waIking and talking appear relatively normal, but less observable behaviours may be impaired

precise judgments. Another eff.ect of alcohol is the hangover. I don’t think I need to elaborate on the “shitty” feeling one has after a binge. Excessive drinking also can cause inflammation of the stomach known as “alcoholic gastritis.” This condition is painful and bleeding can occur.

alcohol

Daily consumption of three drinks or more increases the risk of health problems such as cirrhosis of the liver, hypertension, cancer of the pharynx, brain damage and all sorts of other unpleasant, unpronounceable diseases. Semifrequent (once every couple of weeks) binging can increase the probability of these nasty disorders, even if a binge is the only time you drink. During a period of colds and infections, large quantities of alcohol impair the body’s resistance. Mixing drinking with antihistamines, tranquilizers or other drugs (including illegal ones) can intensify the effects to a dangerous degree (even after one drink). , For people worried about weight gain/loss, two beers has more calories than a piece of pie or chocolate cupcake, That’s enough incoherent alcohol bashing, but what can one do when “out on the town”? One can-order non-alcoholic drinks which includes mocktails (c6cktails minus the alcohol) as a substitute. If one can’t live without the mood altering effects of alcohol in moderation, one could something different than beer (implying more expensive). A waitress at the Shelter introduced an amazing coconut something drink t.ome with same alcohol content as a beer, but at twice the cost. After two I figured I had spent enough money and ‘was pleased to sit idle for the rest of the evening. Wine is another good option to slow down the pace of consumption. If you happen to drink and have a car on campus, you can call security and tell them not to tow YOU away while you find other transportation or sleeping arrangements. rf you want more information on alcohol and its effects or on other interesting topics, call the Health and Safety Resource Network at the Health and Safety Building, Room 121 or phone 4385-1211ext. 6277, Mon. to Fri., 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. HSRN is a volunteer organization who will help you with any question to health and personal concerns.

Eating fruit has always been good for us, and a healthy staple in any child’s diet. But a recent study by the National Resources Defence Council (NRDC] in the United States casts doubt on how confidently we can make these claims today. The Council claims that children are at considerable risk of developing cancer and neurological disorders as a result of consumption of fruit containing dangerous levels of pesticides, especially in apples. Many red apples are grown with the aid of the pesticide daminozide, better known as Alar, which is sprayed on apples to delay ripening and bruising and improve colour and crunch. Alar contains the potent carcinogen UDMH, a breakdown product of the Pesticide. This synthetic hormone an&growth regulator is made by Uniroyal Chemical Co,. in Elm&rg Ontario. Alar penetrates the skin of the apples and thus cannot be washed off or peeled. The UDMH derivative has been detected even after the heat-treating of Alar-sprayed apples that is required to make sauce and juice. In February 1989, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), gave notice of its intent to ban Alar effective in 1991, stating “that there is an inescapable and direct” link between cancer and UDMH. Not only is Alar used on apples in Canada, Canadians consume vast quantities of the fresh and processed U.S,- grown fruit that has been sprayed with the chemical. Health and Welfare Canada is waiting for further test results before making any proposals to ban the chemical. Children face greater risks than adults from chemicals because of their lower body weight, [more pesticides per kilogram), the greater proportion of fruit in their diets, and their exposure to carcinogenic chemicals will occur over a greater time span, Farm workers and their children also suffer a much greater exposure, as not only are they in close proximity to newly applied chemicals during work hours but they usually live near the growing area and thus risk contaminated air and drinking water. Proponents of pesticide use argue that theestimated risks associated with chemical use are minimal when compared with other risks we face such as driving on the 401, or using aspirin more than three times a week, and that these risks are far outweighed by the benefits pesticides bring to society. However, little comfort is derived from the supposition that one’s child may suffer .a statistically greater peril whilst being driven to little league games than by eating fruit from the grocery store. The chronic, or long term toxicity of most pesticides currently in use is at best not well understood and is likely to remain so as such effects are difficult to study and correlate statistically. Only acute effects can be readily evaluated and are thus the main criterion for pesticide licensing. Are contaminated groundwater, bioaccumulation in fish and other aquatic life, and the disruption of natural food chains benefits pesticides bring to society? Greater pesticide use has resulted in the evolution by pests of mechanisms to detoxify and resist deadly chemicals, and in many cases the reduction of crop production by. weeds and insects remains close to its pre-chemical levels. Because of public concern, some apple growers are now voluntarily banning the use of Alar. British Columbia Tree Fruits Ltd., a grower-owned marketing agency, banned Alar last year largely because of concerns in the U.S. Heinz of Canada and Gerber Canada voluntarily banned Alar-treated fruit for their baby food after consumer fears about Alar began in 1985. However, fresh apples, canned juices and sauces do not necessarily come with this same assurance. What are the alternatives? Strategies known as Integrated Pest Management (IPM) offer safer and more cost effective pest control. They use of natural predators of pests, cropping patterns that suppress insects and weeds, and pest resistant crop varieties. They use selected pesticides as a last line of defenoe, only under conditions where the population of a particular pest is likely to undergo a large population increase, or, alternative, they are introduced at a specific stage in the life cycle of the pest. If you still want to have an apple as a healthy snack, you can purchase organically grown apples from local natural food stores and sometimes at the farmers’ markets. If that alternative is not available, organically grown apples can be purchased from the Organic Orchards of T, Nimmo of Heidelberg, (69%448l] or W, Pfenning of Baden, (662-3468). To convey your concern to regulatory agencies and gro,wers that their current promotion and use of chemicals in our food is unacceptable, write to Health and Welfare Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, who recommend the use of Alar by growers. Contact groups such as the Canadian Organic Growers to find out’ how you can help their lobbying efforts.

Oh, well anyway now therels this stick about Playboy in the library. Is there a point to this, my little cranium of fuzz? Ya, professor, I want to know what’s next. What’s next? Ya, well these people jump around with no rhyme or reason. They say they are concerned with women’s issues, yet they ignore the dangers of the arts library. Why? First let us examine the flaws in your reasoning. There are no such things as women’s issues.

Watson’s campaigns for the conservation of marine wildlife have certainly provided the media with plenty of material. Publicity surrounding Watson’s sensational actions during the Reykjavik summit, sinking two whaling ships which had been operating illegally, lost him two members but gained the society another 250 members. The only lawsuit launched because of the incident is Watson’s against the Icelandic government for deporting him illegally. Although the- Sea Shepherds have been called terrorists, the society calls itself a “self-appointed police force” and follms five guidelines: no member is allowed to carry a firearm; no explosives are used in campaigns: no action is taken which would endanger any living being; members accept responsibility for their actions, and also accept the moral consequences of their actions. Watson states firmly that the society is a non-violent organization, quoting Martin Luther King’s definition that they cause “no injury or death to any living thing.”

This ploy results in confusion on the part of the navy and police force, and polite treatment to the Sea Shepherds. The Sea Shepherd Society consists solely of volunteers. “We want loyal members,” said Watson. The Sea Shepherds hope to eventually put themselves out of business, hoping that will eventually no longer be needed.

This definition of non-violence does not apply to property. The success of the society’s guidelines is evident in the fact that no member has ever been injured during a campaign, not even in an industrial accident. Watson feels a special kinship with marine mammals, especially whales. “It’s hard to explain the feeling when you’re around them,” he told the very small audience in attendance last Thursday. “I’ve never met anyone who was afraid of a whale.” Watson also claims that whales are much more intelligent than humans because they “are able to live in harmony with their environment .” As to charges that he is a-terrorist, Watson replies, “one person’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter.” The captain firmly believes that “the blatant hypocrisy of Western politicians negates accusations toward us.”

Bernard Hellen is a recent graduate of the Western Buginess School+ and founder of ACE, a non-profit, volunteer organization that supports young entrepreneurs while they are attending university and community college. Hellen recently conducted a survey across Canada about student entrepreneurs. “With all this activity, there is a need to understand the demographic and psychographic information about Canadian student entrepreneurs,” says Hellen. Partially due to formal courses in entrepreneurial ventures and student-run campus entrepreneur clubs, university and college campuses across Canada have witnessed a large growth in student entrepreneurial ventures in the last five years. “According to the ministry of state for small businesses, over100,000 Canadians between the ages of 15 to 24 own businesses,” says current National Director of ACE Dean MacNeil, a third year student at Western. Researchers studying the motivations and obstacles of 115 student entrepreneurs at the University of Western Ontario’s Business School have found that money ranked fourth as a motivating factor in a list of the factors that influenced students to start a business. The single largest factor inhibiting student venture growth was the lack of ‘available startup capital. The problem is twofold. First, more capital needs to be made more available for stu-

dent entrepreneur ventures, Hellen says, Second, students must be educated as to where and how to apply for it. The study recommends that that the self-actualization and satisfaction generated from meeting a personal challenge should be emphasized when you want to promote entrepreneurship to young people.

“We build more than just bridges “, and “Beyond the lab, into marketing and management.” The panel felt that the reason that more women weren’t in engineering was partially due to the stereotyping of engineers as beer-guzzling partiers, but mostly due to the fact that females seem’to think taking math and science in high-school “just isn’t cool,+’ and that withdut these courses, the ‘door to math and engineering is closed.

Polygamy also aggravates the situation. Because AIDS is a heterosexual phenomenon in Africa, it &as indefinite expansionary possibilities. As Dr. Anne Bayley, professor of surgery at the University of Zambia notes, the West doesn’t understand the awesome problem confronting African nations because AIDS is a heterosexual disease, nor does the West understand the limitless expansion potential of AIDS in African society.

Trying to determine the exact figures pertaining to the AIDS epidemic in Africa is not easy. The November 1987 edition of The New Internationalist cites ,studies estimating there are as many as ten million infected people in central Africa alone. More recent estimates contained in The Af@ca Report (December 1988) suggest a more conservative estimate of two to three million carriers in all of Africa.

Scientist hypothesize that the open sores of first stage syphilis, chancroid and herpes may make it easier for the AIDS virus to pass between partners. Also related to this is the sudden and dramatic increase in the number of tuberculosis cases. In Kinshasa, Zaire, 40 per cent of TB patients tested were HIV positive, while only six to e‘ight per cent of the healthy population tested population. The incidence of tuberculosis is also increasing in people aged 20-40, the age group most at risk of HIV infection. The economic implications for Africa’s future are immense, researchers warn. For many of

Senior Zambian officials now estimate that ten per cent of qadult Zambians could be dead in the next decade if no cure is found. The World Health Urganization (WHO) notes there is a growing if still somewhat reluctant trend to openness in discussing AIDS in official circles in Africa (government officials in Mozambique still, do not tell patients when they are infected). As of this year, all African nations have had a technical visit from WHO, in an attempt to first assess the problem and then to devise methods of combating the disease.

Condoms are now listed as “essential drugs” in Zambia, meaning they are distributed free of charge from any Zambian health unit while supplies last. Approximately fifty companies are currently working on AIDS testing kits, anti-AIDS drugs and vaccines. What has been postulated is that any treatment for AIDS will most likely take the form of a daily administration, similar to that of insulin or anti-hypertensive drugs. Such a conclusion would mean the drug will be expensive and require a regular administration; a remedy with considerable first world orientations and biases in administration. For the impoverished nations of Africa this could prove to be not only inappropriate but also economically impossible, The Africa Report concludes.

Professor Lefkowitz argued that the Greeks were more concerned with women’s minds and behaviour than their physical form. Lefkowitz went on to say “I’m trying to show in antiquity women were educated to make their minds more like those of men.” Furthermore, Plato proposed that women be educated in the same way as men, not to help women achieve their goals, but to make women “go away, to be mini-men.” Professor Lefkowitz has published I several books, including Heroines and Hysterics and Women in Greek Myth. Her lecture, along with another on Sophocles, was part of the classical studies department’s tenth anniversary celebrations.

Have you heard? If you haven’t, CKMS-FM is doing something about it. The University of Waterloo radio station is planning to increase its power from a meager 50 watts to a rockin’ 600 watts. But it needs help. “We have a dual goal,” says CKMS Music Coordinator Jacqui Bruner of the station’s fund raising drive. “We need $5000 now, but if we get $10,000 we won’t need to have another funding drive next term.” CKMS estimates the powerincrease will cost approximately $25,000. -Those contributing to the funding drive have a chance to scoop some bitchin’, albums, tapes and CDs. Dr. Disc gift certificates and Princess Theatre passes are also up for grabs, says Bruner. According to Bruner, there are two giveaways on every program (programs last an average of three hours). The first is for the individual donating the largest amount during a program. The winner of the second giveaway is determined by a draw of all the pledges received during a program. Lucky winners have between four or five selections to choose from. The station embarked on its “Channel 17” style programing at 8100 a.m. this past Monday, and will continue until Sunday,

November 5. Bruper suggests, “If people have a particular show they like they should pledge during it to show the programmefs they have appreciative listeners.” If you are not sure when programs that fit your tastes are airing, Bruner recommends checking out a CKMS program guide, available at CKMS and in

the Campus Centre. According to Technical Coordinator Bill Wharrie, if the Department of Communications accepts CKMS’s application, without requesting changes, the ribbon cutting ceremony could be as early as June 1990. The alternative sounds of CKMS call be detected at 94.5 on the FM dial.

by Sherwood Hinze Imprint staff I The third annual “Youth Building the Future” conference was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina last summer from August 1l-18. Attending the conference were university students from fourteen countries, including three students from UW. The students had the rare opportunity to meet with their peers and discuss some of the common concerns facing all of humanity. The primary purpose of the YBF organization, since its inception in Australia in 1987, is to unite students from around the world to discuss contemporary global issues. Thrqughmeetings, workshops and plenary sessions, the participating students attempt to find solutions and methods of action in which a more just global society can be created. Of primary concern to YBF is the establishment of international linkages through which information and

communications can be passed. This year’s ‘conference focussed on scientists’ responsibility in the arm’s race, environmental conservation, the concept of common heritage of humankind, human rights and education for peace. Such notables as Adolf0 Perez Esquival (1980 Nobel Peace Prize recipient), Lars Ryden (Uppsala University, Sweden), Margaret Moore (Australian Conservation Foundation], and Dr. Gustav0 Malek (UNESCO representative for South America and the Caribbean) were in attendance to meet both formally and informally with the students.

Next to sleeping and working, Americans spend the greatest part of their time watching it, Children spend, on average, four hours a day with it; three hours more than they spendstudying. Preschoolers spend one third of their waking hours with it. Ninety-nine percent of Canadian households own at least one, almost half have two or more. U.S. advertisers spent 11 billion dollars to use this medium. What is it? Television. In the last 40 years, television has had profound effects on family relationships, entertainment, education, politics, advertising, news, sports and North American culture. Is television man’s greatest invention, or the cause of social breakdown? Man’s most used invention, or his most abused? . There are concerns about the disproportionate amount of violence, crime and sex portrayed by television. By placing women in unintelligent, dependent, and weight and appearance-conscious roles, they believe television reinforces gender stereotypes. Researchers have estimated that the typical American five year old has seen over 200 hours of violent images and that the average 14 year old has witnessed the killing of 13,000 human beings. By seldom presenting violence truthfully, as random, squalid and painful, television bestows upon it an implied legitimacy. Television is very successful at blurring fantasy and reality (it wouldn’t be drama if it didn’t]: children may believe what they see. and act on it. American research has shown that TV violence leads to a rise in aggressive behaviour in children. Adults aren’t immune either. Over 200,000 adults wrote to the fictitious Marcus Welby, MD, for serious medical advice. Television claims to be an effective medium for education. Unfortunately, most children

quickly forget what they learn from television, unless it’s constantly repeated. They need time for reflection and lots of htiman interaction in order to learn optimally. On a more positive note, college courses can be offered by television, freeing the student from class time, and allowing people who cannot attend classes the chance to enrich their lives. Television is undoubtedly a fantastic means of communication. Since the first newscast on December 7, 1941, which reported events at Pearl Harbor, television has served to communicate information through out the world. In 1969, an estimated 600 million people in some fifty countries, on six continents, witnessed the first manned landing on the moon’s surface. Without television, many of us wouldn’t learn about the horror, or glorificatibns of war, or witness the spectacle of professi&al athletics. We might never see a play, an orchestra, parliamentary debate or Charlie Chaplin. Without television, we may use that time to participate in a play, learn to play a musical instrument, write stories and letters or talk more effectively with our family and friends. Or we may not. Television has an immense impact on individuals and families by competing with a family’s normal communication and sharing of daily experiences. As well, watching television requires no participation - mental or physical. Whether it serves or enslaves society, television is here to stay. It can be argued that the problem with television lies in the corruption of society, not with television itself, and that networks produce the kinds of programs that audiences demand. In that way, society drives tb images, and therefore what values television chooses to depict. If you believe this, then it’s solely a question of control. Who’s in charge, the magic box or you?

the truth about Hallow’s The legend cautioned people against going out on the Eve of Samhain; all the dead souls would be frolicking with creatures from the spirit world. This is the beginning of the association of Halloween with ghosts and goblins. The Celts also sacrificed humans and horses on the Day of Samhain. The humans were usually criminals, and the horses were intended to appease the Sun God. Sacrifice was done by burning the victims in huge wicker cages. The Romans banned the practice of human sacrifice shortly after their conquest of Britain, but the English continued to offer up horses to the Sun God as late as 400 A.D. Allhallow’s Eve, the evening before Allhallow’s Day, was eventually corrupted into “Halloween,” showing a

Lair Bhan, being a horse, was sacred to the Sun God. This role-playing was a significant step toward the masquerading tradition of Halloween. An important part of the Irish festival of Halloween is the mythical little people. The little people were originally much larger in stature; in fact, they were much larger then men, and correspondingly more beautiful. They were the angels who failed to choose a side when God cast out Lucifer and his legions from heaven. The little people were very important spirits in pre-Christian Ireland. But as

Guy Fawkes led a plot to assassinate King James I of Britain in 1605. The conspirators planned to bomb the Houses of Parliament with a barrel of gunpowder while the King was occupying them. This episode, known as the Gunpowder Plot,

The feast began to take on more of the .Christian character as the Celtic religion died off, although it has never totally shaken its pagan roots. The origin of dressing up for Halloween is uncertain. It seems to have come from either a Christian festival, or from ’

Christianity came, they were literally shrunk in both importance and stature by the sign of the cross and holy water. As well, the little people had no souls and were doomed to be immortal until the Final Judgment, at which time they were to be destroyed. For these reasons, the little people was uncovered before Fawkes was able to carry out his deed. He was arrested on November 5, 1605, confessed under torture and was executed on January 31, 1606. The Gunpowder Plot is commemorated yearly in Britain on Guy Fawkes Day, November 5. On this day, it is customary to hang Fawkes in effigy and to burn him. Equally as customary, people go around begging “a penny for the Guy.” Since Guy Fawkes Day occurs so close to Halloween, it seems natural that this begging is a forerunner of today’s trick-or-treating. But- there is a much more religious side to trick-or-treating as well. The day after All Saint’s Day is All Soul’s Day, a day in which Catholics pray for all the souls in purgatory. A custom was developed in England whereby people would go about begging and singing on this day. In return for money, there was an understanding they would say extra prayers for the deceased. After time, however, this practice was bastardized and the songs more often praised beer and strong ale more than offering supplications for the dearly departed. This practice, called souling, became part of the Halloween tradition. Making Soul Cakes [special cakes baked only for the festival of All Soul’s bay] was adopted by Halloween to become the convention of trick-ortreating for sweets.

dress up in silly costumes and stick their heads under water to spear apples with their teeth. How does any of this relate to the historical Halloween? Where do we find out thetruth about the historical Halloween? Our current version of Halloween came to North America from the Irish who fled the potato famine of the 1840s.. This distinction of nationality is important because Latin countries celebrated Halloween as a sacred feast and associate different images with it. Our ideas of dressing up, of ghosts and goblins, and of trick-or-treating stem predominately from Irish customs and folklore, Allhollows, or All Saint’s Day, has been a very solemn Catholic feast-day for the better part of the past two millennia. November 1 is a celebration, lemembrance, and veneration of all of the Christian saints. Catholicism believes that anyone in heaven is a saint, so the day is really intended as a feast day for the majority of saints that have not been officially canonized. In 834 AD, the Catholic Church picked November 1 as the date for Allhallows because it was already strongly associated with the dead. (The Celtic druids had a festival on that date dedicated to Samhain, the Lord of the Dead.) November 1 was the Celtic New Year’s Day as well, and it commemo-

an ancient pagan ritual. On All Saint’s Day, it became customary for the local church to parade around its patron’s relics. As individual churches grew more wealthy and were able to obtain many relics, it was infor smaller creasingly difficult churches to acquire artifacts of fheir own. Parishioners soon began to dress up like their patron saint to continue

This explains the pranks and shenanigans associated with Halloween to this very day.

Along with the secular and Christian roots of trick-or-treating, the pagan procession of Muck Olla obviously influenced the practice. Going door-todoor and asking for treats was essentially the direct forerunner of trick-or-treating. The history of Halloween does not stop here; many customs have not been discussed. And, of course+ Halloween itself is still a dynamic feast: horror movies will no doubt affect how we perceive Halloween fifty years from now.

Nitassinan:

NATI-ON- UNDER SIEGE Part 1 -

by Marc Brzustowski Imprint staff When Innu spokespeople Bart Penashue and Ambroise Marc speak on campus next week, they will come as ambassadors of a nation under siege, as representatives of a culture teetering on the brink of existence. Low-level military flying and Canadian government plans for aNAT war training base in their horr$eland of Nitassinan are simply the latest, and most threatening assaults levelled at Innu culture since the Second World War. On Thursday November 2,. at Ml0 p.m., Siegfried Hall of St. Jerome’s College will be the-forum for their testimony to the effects of militarization and development way -L .

life in Nitassinan for centurTes. Archaeological findings date their culture back at least nine thousand years. But only in the past five decades have the Innu come under the overwhelming effect of Canadian culture, and that effect has been overwhelmingly negative. Never having ceded their rights over Nitassinan to any government by treaty or agreement, the Innu properly call Nitassinan their land. In.1941, the American military constructed an air base in Goose Bay, Labrador, which housed approximately 12,000 military personnel. After the war, non-native activity in Nitassinan escalated rapidly. Communities of white settlers developed as the Newfoundland and Canadian governments sold, to Canadian and American interests, mining and logging rights to Nitassinan. In 1971, construction ended on the hydro-electric complex at Churchill Falls, opposed by the Innu who suffered the consequent flooding of large parts of the land upon which their survival depended. The use of over 80,000 square kilometres of Nitassinan as low-level military flying and bombing ranges began in 1980-1981. War planes of the British, Dutch, German, Canadian, and Ameri-

rorces use Nl’tassinan to train for “Deep Strike,” part of NATO’s first strike nu:lear warfighting policy (as Gwynne Dyer, the military analyst, confirms), 3nd also for practising “surgical strikes” which are geared for third world intervhntion. The planes fly as low as 30 metres above the ground. In 1984, the Canadian government volunteered Innu land for the NATO Tactical Fighter Weapons Training Centre, and have since spent at least $90 million upgrading the base and its facilities. If. the NATO base is establish&q in’ Goose Bay - an @n&ncem&nt ‘h imminent . Dver the neWfe”+v mbnt’hs - then the number of low-level aflights-‘-will rise From 8,000 per year to 40,000. In addition, NATO will use another 30,000 sqtiare ,kilometres of Mitassinan for nine bombing ranges, three of which will be used for live weapons, and for supersonic air-to-air combat training ranges. In spite of a Canadian Public Health Association recommendation that no new military activity be allowed, the Department of National Defence (DND) began

Recall that these conclusions are based on military activity which, at the time, amounted to approximately 7,000 low-level flights each year. Nearly 4,000 Innu, out of a population of over 10,000, are directly affected by the war testing over Nitassinan, yet the federal government did not recognize Innu land claims until after 1978 when it accepted, for negotiation, two comprehensive claims (one each with the governments of Quebec and Newfoundland]. Since that time, however, the Federal government has paid little attention to the Innlf - thtif i’s. until last fall. when

Innu concern with the noise level of the flights is well-fsunded. According to the United Nations World Health Organization, physical damage to the ear, usually a ruptured ear drum, is risked when exposure to sound levels over 140 dBA occurs, Military aircraft flying out of Goose Bay cause noise pulses that rise 40 dBA in half a second and have peaks exceeding 140 dBA when flying at or below 30 meters above the ground. Innu hunters have reported having their camps flown over more than 25 times in one day. The IFHR mission concluded “that overflights of camps and individual hunters and fishermen do take place on a very frequent or at least regular basis. it seems doubtful that the military iinore the location of the camps.”

The panel asserts that “if it were demonstrated that such activity were causing for were likely to cause) environmental or social impacts that could not be mitigated, the panel believes that it would be in its mandate to recommend severe restrictions, even to the point of suggesting that [lowlevel flying) should be terminated or phased out.‘” As early as June 198 vid Barnes. : chair of the panel, held. it DND was :not cooperating fully an’iP‘had failed to igdvise the panel of new flying orders, ignoring a January 1987 letter of interim recommendations in the process. Accusations of DND interference in the panel‘s work must be understood in light of that mandate. Arguments in support of the NATO base and war testing over Nitassinan tend to be of two sorts: the first iustifv the militarization on an economii ba&,

A ten year agreement signed between Canada, the U.S., the U.K. and West Germany in 1986, promising access to the testing ranges, independent of any possible NATO base, and in spite of the FEAR0 panel which is to determine whether such activities can be allowed to continue, was hailed by then .Associate Minister of Defence, Harvie Andre, as a great development “for the present and future economic stability of Goose Bay.” For such economic stability to include the Innu, however, their way of life, their culture, their existence QSa people must b’eforfeited to make way fbr wagepaying jobs servicing the institution that forced them off the land they once called theirs. The free world argument is no less grotesque. Stated Lt. Colonel 1.M. Scott, Goose Bay Base Commander, “it is evident then, that to ensure the safety of our citizens, including the Innu People, our air forces and those of our allies must be allowed to regularly conduct low level flying training I +. Our use of this airspace allows us to makea significant contribution to the defence of our freedoms and way of life, including yours.“ (italics mine).

bail hearing for those Innu arrestedduring an occupation of the run ways at the Goose Bay base, countered that “We Innu have acted and protested in the cause of the safety of not only the Innu people, but of the whole world - and we call again for our homeland, Ntesinan, *to be freed of this military presence and we will cqntinue to struggle to have our land become again a place of peace and not a place for the preparation of war, “ Bui gccording to DNI3 afficials, low.-. level:‘ttaining’i& “the &fel:$e of our freedoms and way of life, ihcluding yours.” ‘This assault on health, on’the environment, and on a people itself is carried out “to ensure the safety of our citizens, including the Innu people.” The benefits of militarization are staggering.

Public by John Hymers Imprint staff Public Enemy came to the Twist last Monday to preach a gospel of racial inequality and media hatred. But they also found the time to blow away their fans with a brilliant ninety minute-plus sound-fest. The whole concert concept of rapping over albums was set on its head by the frenetic performance of lead Chuck D and foil

Devastating mix of medium and message. Flavour Flax Prancing, posing, and perching on every part of the stage, the duo swept aside the usually sedate and overtly cool stylings that the unaware normally identify with rap. By being as innovative on stage as they are in the’ studio, P.E. proved why they are nearly without peer in the Rap world;

nobody can be the message and the medium as well as they, and still sound fresh - and awesome (as the word was meant), Their message is the oppression of blacks, and their medium is the crushing, disjointed riffs, rhythms, and sounds found in deejay Terminator X’s record collection. Though hardly unique, nobody has come up with .brilliance upon brilliance as Public Enemy has: witness You’re Eonno Get Yours, Night of the Living Baseheods, Bring the Noise, . . . etc., and most recently, the incendiarv Fight the POW& (Motown’s higg&t-selling l&inch single in history.) However, their message has often overshadowed their medium: music. They are famous for their long-standing feud with’ the print and electronic media. It was brought to a head this summer when Minister of Information Professor Griff nearly

destroyed Public Enemy by spouting off about the evilness of Jews and God knows what else to the Washington Post. The P.E. don’t deny his tirade; but they claim that the media treated them unfairly over the whole incident. They claim the media lies when they say that Public Enemy is racist. By their fruits thee shall know them, and there was not a hint of blind racism in their presentation. But make no mistakes, they were hostile to that which they did not like. Though they were very warm (?!I with the predominantly white crowd, they left no doubts as to their hatred of the historical treatment of blacks by the white man, They didn’t leave their hatred merely with historical treatment, but chronicled the on-going oppression that the system still dishes out.

Imprint: Ya, I was thinking of comparing you to Peter, Paul, & Mary. How do you feel about that? Tom: Well, Peter, Paul, & Mary, to me personally. . When we first got together, we were singing mostly music from their first album, We developed harmonies around that style, and the Weavers and the Kingston Trio and the Limelighters. Those are bands that we took from when we first started.. As we went along, the influences grew broader, and we started including punk and new wave influences which are much stronger than our folk influences. NME called us “The Ramones singing the Joan Baez songbook”, which is probably closer to what our sound is than Peter, Paul, & Mary. They’re very quiet, very laid back.

There are some radicals at every college that will come out and just sit in their rooms and spout philosophy with friends, and figure out how to change the world before they take over their fathers’ businesses and get engulfed by corporate Canada. It’s nice to play to those people. It gives them a shot qt seeing that if you’re actually out of your minds, and really feel that the world can do a complete about face and save itself, you can earn a living doing. it, which is what we’re doing.

It was produced at first almost as a British dance record by a very competent producer named Michael Thorn, who produced Soft Cell’s “Don’t you want me, Baby?” or “Tainted Love” or something, and he produced ‘Til Tuesday. And he loved our band for some reason, and he produced it in a sort of dance mode. The record company heard it and said,

Marianne Epp began her ninesong, half-ho& set-with Here I Wait, a number with folk lyrics and a much “popier” music base. This tone was carried throughout her set.

Apparently sensing the crowd was less than enthusiastic, Andrew Cash opened with a cgu le of his more obscure material i!lefore laying into Smile Me Down. Well, the crowd had been given enough time and by now-they were a boppin’ in the isles. Cash continued to warm up the crowd as he gyrated, pranced, and sang exactly as we have all heard him on vinyl.

WHERESTHE EXPRESSWAY ENDS SAVINGS BEGIN

by Moustafa Bayoumi Imprint staff Maybe it’s the pleasure one gets from being a good voyeur (which is what all good filmgoers are), but there has always been something very intriguing about watching an actor develop into a role. It’s usually a private exercise, something we’re not supposed to be able to see. Denys Arcand knows this enjoyment, and in Jesus of Montreal (playing at the Waterloo Cinema], he has given to our illicit viewing two characters to watch develop: Daniel playing Jesus, and the city of Montreal. Daniel (played by Lothaire Blutheau) is a talented but unknown actor in Montreal who is asked to play the part of Jesus in the annual play of the Church the Passion on the mountain. He is given license to modernize the play, just as Arcand modernizes the story of Jesus to modern-day Montreal. We see Daniel recruit his actors, and they put on the collectively written, controversial play. The audience stands closely behind the actors and only a security guard separates the two. The line between audience and actor is blurred even further during the day, when the play is not being performed and the security guard is not there to police the actors’ sense of reality. HOW this line is transgressed, made elastic and tied into knots is the film’s mission. And Arcand largely succeeds, He converts us into following Daniel who, like the whiskers on his face, has grown more and ‘more into his role. Both Arcand and Daniel accomplish their miracles by control and restraint. Daniel is wonderfully restrained and introspective to just the right degree to make him prophetic. He is the director of Passion. and tells his actors to also show restraint. Arcand, the film’s director, shows restraint by not using trite effects and cheap analogies. When Jesus walks on water, we can tell how its done. We don’t need movie miracles anymore, we’ve become too sophisticated for that,

Instead, the miracle is the miracle of both art and science to transform. With art, the universe explodes into colour, the city rises above itself and floats these actors above it on Mount Royal. Science, clearly today’s religion, is not seen as a contradiction to religion for Arcand, but part of it instead. If the movie is flawed, it comes from its vision being too large, too omnipresent. It seems to want to pass judgment on all, but doesn’t give a clear enough indication for some. The worldweary priest is a character developed to an interesting dialectic in the film, and is left hanging, Occasionally, Arcand’s breadth stalls the film. But its saving grace comes from its humour. Tragedy is dangerous, we are told in the film,

and Arcand’s vision won’t accommodate a tragic Montreal. He has fun with the city, with the people and their faults. He delves deep into the commercial (underlworld of Montreal for rich comic effect. % Here, as Canadians, we should applaud Arcand for investigating the essence of one of our cities. He has as much fun with religion, with beer, porno movies, Coca Cola and perfume. Arcand’s comic side is Arcand at his most divine. Jesus of Montreal is a movie built on dialectics. It gives us both art and science, high drama and cheap advertising, reality and illusion. Although it occasionally cannot keep up with its own cleverness, Jesus of Montreal does have at least one thing going for it: soul.

Calamity Jane wears dresses tighter than a young girl’s vi?tue and goes by t he name of Maureen Linoleum in this plastic tale, but she doesn’t go by many men. Killer Kenny is a murdering minstrel show who’s got executive dreams for him and his .45, Hell, he’s willing to take all the risks like murdering people, etc., while sweet-faced Monte takes off with+the horse with the emerald stomach and teaches eight year olds to smoke cigars by the river.

by Paul Dome Imprint staff A copy of Stone Cold Rbymin’ should be placed into one of those hermetically sealed time capsules which North Americans seem to be so fond of treating On this LP, Young MC (aka Marvin Young] crams references to more cultural icons than John Waters manages to in his movies.

From th& standards like Mike Tyson, Eddie and Freddie (Murphy and Krueger,’ that is) and Geraldo, to legions of less obvious examples like Don Ho, Dorothy Hamiil, Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka, Young MC manages to name a stunning number of icons - human and otherwise.

Who the hdl is Lorne Thomas? While Bust a Move is the obPious hit single from the LP, my favorite track is 1 Come Off, the LP’s opening track- The combination of a fat ’70s P-Funk-style bass line, slow syncopated drums and Young’s snappy rhymes set a standard which the ples and funky grooves, and rest of the album fails to match.

by Lorne Thomas Imprint staff So what is Acid House? What does it mean to you? Is it the music, or is it the lights, or is it the experience? Or is it all that? Could it just be shit? Acid House is beat intensive music. Very loud, and usually accompanied by drugs: hallucinogenic drugs. People get dressed up very nice and get stoned and impress the chicks or possibly the dudes and dance.

But their fuI1 effect pales in comparison to the real kind, Theirs is spectacle; the Pig Posse lives this way. So again, is acid house shit? Probably, but who am I to say that? But I will say this: Acid House is killing music. So what: music deserves such a fate. There is too much music in the world. And mostof it is intended to sell you something: be it a lifestyle, a beer, or a hair remover. Down with music. The real rebellion will be in realizing how music controls your life. Mutiny against the corporate gods who want to suck your soul and infuse you withtheir reality. Then again, go see the Rolling Stones: Labbatt’s wants you to, But of course as a co-op student, you don’t really care about selling your soul now, do you? So this is just a roundabout way of imploring you to purchase this album. Help kill music: remove it from the mantle of respectability that it has attained in these post-individualistic days+Then maybe rebellion will creep back into music like life comes out of the phoenix’s ashes. Maybe music needs the enkma that Acid House provides.

Wiseman is a nightmare for the FBI. His apocryphal keyboard meanderings when acting as minister of keyboard information for Blue Rodeo serve only to reinforce his genius and insanity, virtuosic vocalist he is not, but he promulgates Wrench Tuttle’s version of environmental and social assault with vigour. He believes. And he is partially successful in subduing ot.hers’ forcing them to listen. Words are not coddled. They are direct dissatisfaction with corporate culture.

by Sandy Atwal Imprint staff Including greatest hits packages and other compilations, Oh Mercy will be Bob IIylan’s 35th album in 28 years. Someone who his made that kind of contribution to music and been so prolific, deserves to put out some bad albums. Fortunately, Oh Mercy, is not one of those albums. This record is a sort of retrospective of Dylan’s career, with some songs done in styles resembling older albums, especially the ‘74 album Blood on the Tracks. The same sorrow and pain Dylan expressed on that album also comes through on this one. The man responsible for this album’s high quality is producer Daniel Lanais. Although Lanais’ solo efforts come across like funeral dirges, his New Orleans influence on Dylan has been nothing but good. He provides a soft musical cushion for Dylan’s harsh voice and lyrics, As Rolling Stone will no doubt say “Dylan is back, and he hasn’t sounded this good in years.” The first side is a bit more political than the second, in fact the first track is Political World, which is a pretty big departure for Dylan lyrically. Usually he damns the world in a poet’s voice, with similes and metaphors. “We live in a political world/where love don’t have any place/ . . . where peace is not welcome at all;‘* sings Dylan. The cynical and highly critical tone set in the first track continues throughout the album no big surprises there. where Raindrops Full is heavy on the lyrics - some of Dylan’s most poetic stuff on the album is here, but the music sounds like a cheap Lawrence Welk tune, especially when the sax cuts in at the end. Everything is Broken is ahbit more Dylanesque’with the same - world-criticizing tone as P&Gcar, but more poetic. The cover of the album is more relevant to

of mankind, you believe him first and ask questions later. The next song is another great tune; in What good om 1, Dylan asks himself, and in a way gets us to ask ourselvest about self worth if “I shut myself off so 1 can’t hear you cry/. . . /if 1 laugh in the face of what sorrow brings.” The last track, Shooting star, is a decided anti-climax to the album, although it does contain some of Dylan’s strongest disillusionment statements. Oh Mercy fulfills the hidden prophecy in 88’s Down in the Groove. That album swayed on a teeter-totter of emotions and feelings without making a statement, but here, with Dylan expressing his disappointment with himself, the world and his past, we see which way that seesaw has gone. It almost doesn’t seem right to enjoy an album which seems to contain a lot of grief and pain, but it is this feeling of mixed emotions that sets this album so much higher than something like Steel Wheels, which will no doubt get more airplay. Dylan’s voice has a sense of defeat in it, and atJeast we can try to appreciate it, even if we can’t understand ii,

Either that or he’s a pompous fool begging for street-cred. In Her Dream may be more important than reading the ingredient list on your favourite oat bran cereal. It certainly is better than drinking your water filtered through a box of fifty-year

this track* Rhythm and cadence are two biggies on this album. NO stretching words here, Ring them BeUs is a straigbt sequel to When he Returns from Slow Train Coming [the first of his religious trilogy.) Both the piano and the words he uses to rhyme are easily recognizable. The final track on the first side, The Man in the Long B~cI& Co& is a prelude to the second side because of its similarity taa watered down My, Rosemary and the lock of Hearts from Blood on the Tracks. The song is done in a new style for Dylan. He punches every second word in tune to the drums’ which has an eerie effect, especially in the Tom Waits style voice he sings it in. The second side starts with what will definitely be a Dylan classic- Most of the Time is the kind of song reviewers will eat up and Dylan freaks will rant about. It is most likely about his ex-wife, Sara Lowndes, who he doesn’t like to think about. Here, on tracks like this one, you realize what makes Dylan great, He sings with conviction and belief and his words fiI1 up a room. when he savs that most of the time, he can labgh in the face

Almost like being i.n a zoo as the insane Jerry* He conveys Jerry’s intensity through every aspect of his actions. Bristow is simply a joy to watch act. Going to see him is worth the admission price, Jerry’s character is an extremely complex one. Questions hide Jerry from the reality that he sees much too clearly, He is filled with wonderful little phrases that make you stop and think, like: “don’t react, just listen,” and his comparison of the sound a dog makes when eating to that of a woman.

Chris Reid plays Peter; the very average gentleman with two kids, two cats, two parakeets and one wife. While sitting on a park bench, Peter meets Jerry. “I ‘ve been to the zoo” are the first words out of Terry’s s mouth.

Jerry starts talking to Peter, and Peter listens in spite of (or because of] the fact that Jerry is a really weird guy. Jerry is funny and Jerry asks questions. Soon, however, he starts asking questions that are a little disturbing, Peter listens and, through Jerry, discovers a great deal about himself. -

Reid plays Peter flawlessly as the straight man - the one whom Jerry can bounce his ideas from. As the play goes on, Peter gets more and more quiet as he listens to Jerry’s ramblings. Reid has a very powerful magnetism and he manages to convey a sense of bewilderment and ultimately, terror. ’ Anthonv Bristow is brilliant

HIP HAP

Little, Brown and Company 425 pages

by Stacey Lobin Imprint staff Martha Grimes is playing with my mind, How idare she turn out an exciting+ fascinating mystery novel when I’m so used to a mundane, mediocre product? Well, perhaps I’m being a bit unfair; her other nine novels to date have been good efforts, with good characterization and nice action, but The Old Went just

new, dizzying heights

blows them all away. Grimes soars to new, dizzying heights with her writing skills. Superintendent Richard Jury and his pseudo-aristocratic buddy Melrose Plant fairly leap off the page with Grimes’ vibrant details of description and dialogue. Sergeant Wiggins, Aunt Agatha, Jury’s Chief Racer, and that clever feline Cyrilhave never been more alive than they are now. Grimes has even honed her talents as a story-maker; a strong plot supports much of the novel, with interesting, intert,wining sub-plots creatively placed throughout the book. About eight years previously, a young boy named Billy and his friend Toby were kidnapped and held for ransom. The boy’s father, Roger Healy, refused to pay: Toby was later identified as a hit and run victim, and Billy was never found. The novel opens with Nell Citrine Healy shooting Roger Healy in a pub called The Old Silent; Richard Jury is there to witness the murder. From here on, it’s a pains taking unravelling of motives, actions, and explanations, This is by no means the main focus; a mysterious singer, an angry young girl, and a strange, eccent: ric brother and sister team also: flesh out the sub-plots and di-’ gressions. Jury and his sidekick Wiggins, the Walking Pharmacy, divide their time between the bitter Yorkshire moors and the glittering world of rock and roll. Jury’s old friend Brian Macalvie lends him a hand, as does Melrose Plant. (Much of the humour in the novel is provided by the exploits of Melrose’s Aunt Agatha, an asinine, piggish woman, and Plant’s attempts to avoid her.)

What is North America’s favourite contact sport? Guess again. It’s going to the drive-in Friday night. Tonight in fact is an ideal evening to be seen at the outdoor screen. It’s the World Premiere of Roadkill. It’s a rock ‘n road movie about a girl who takes distinct pleasure in making rabbit pancakes with her ‘78 Nova. Director Bruce McDonald will be there as well as several members of the cast tind maybe even a band. If you can’t make it, Roadkill appears at the Princess November 1 and 2. If you’re stuck babysitting, take the screaming brat to the Humanities Theatre, where Berky the Clown will stuff a fist-sized pacifier down its throat. The drama department is putting on two short plays, Almost Like Being and The Zoo Story tonight and tomorrow night at ML’s Theatre of the Arts, 8:OOp.m. Ray Lye11will be appearing in Kitchen& only bar with artificial smoke flavouring. Stages is Lyell’s venue on October 30. If you don’t want to support the corporate nightmare that Hallowe’en has become, don’t buy a pumpkin and don’t buy candy for kids. Turn off the porch light and head out to the Princess Theatre for the Surrealist Film Festival. Unfortunately, The The will officially not be appearing at Federa- * tion hall on November 1 because bf a death in Matt Johnson’s family. The The’s debut North American tour is being rescheduled, but if you have any problems with advance tickets check at point of purchase, Turns out that the concert of the term (other than Public Enemy) will be happening in Toronto at the Diamond.

Resolving therefore to seek God, his life was transformed by entering a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. After his conversion, God began to teach him many of the simple but essential truths of a consistent Christian life, He learned a life of Prayer and personal holiness, and he learned to live carefully, seeking God’s plans for every step of his life. As a simple Indian boy, he could in no way foresee that God was going to one day take him to the four corners of the planet to preach to thousands of people. lt is therefore very interesting to read about his growth and about the burden and vision that God was placing in his heart. .

The Waterloo rugby team headed into last weekend’s regular season finale as the number two team in Division One. They needed the seemingly unlikely event of Western knocking off Queen’s along with a win of their own to claim first place, And it happened. Waterloo got the job done, and Western lent a hand. The Warriors com.pleted a successful regular season by beating a tenacious Gryphon team in Guelph 16-6. At the post-game beer-up, the team heard the other good news. In Kingston+ the Western ‘Stangs had upset the defending champ.s Queen’s Golden Gaels 9-6 to give Waterloo the best record in the division going into the playoffs. This means that UW has home-field advantage for the OUAA Championship, should they get there. Oh yeah, there was something in it for the ‘Stangs as well, The win gave them the third and last Division One playoff spot. Wilfrid Laurier, meanwhile, trounced Trent 22-O to seal the Division Two title. They’ll take a stroll over to Columbia Field tomorrow [Saturday, October 28) to meet the Warriors. Guelph, winless on the season and headed for Division Two to trade places with Laurier, was a team with nothing to lose, and they showed it. They did not bend for a moment, and played UW much more closely than the ten point difference would indicate. Scott Webb, Hayden Belgrave, and Michael Fischer turned in inspired performances along with the rest of the Waterloo side. Nick Nikolakakis played superbly in replacement of Marc

standouts in the victory, which saw Guelph spend 20 minutes in Waterloo’s end only to come away empty. The )-V’s have been steadily improving this season. This bodes well for future years, as the team’s rookies have been contributing more and more.

called for an offside on a strum, and Waterloo gained possession. The team got the ball to Webb, who punched it in on a terrific crash run for the try, It was unconverted, and the score was 4-0 for uw. The backs continued to run well and Waterloo maintained the pressure in Guelph’s end, Ralph Engel and Darren Wilton combined for a great run, and forced a five metre strum. Waterloo couldn’t finish this time, though, and Guelph won the strum and kicked the ball out, Ment’al errors hurt the Gryphs again, and Waterloo scored on a Wilton penalty kick after an offside infraction. This made the score 7-O for the black and gold.

At the post -game beer-up, Waveterans cautioned against looking past the semi-final against Laurier on Saturday (tommorrow), reminding the team that only last year, the Division Two-winning Warriors upset McMaster in the first round. Teams from different divisions do not play each other in the regular season, so Waterloo has not played WLU this year. terloo

The team loosened up before the game to the strains of rock group Queen, chanting to the refrain “We will, we will rock you!” And they did!

We just want to go out and play our game.” Whether or not the opposition Lancers heard reverberations of the Warrior’s “pre-game warmup” in their own dressing room, once on the ice, thpy fell prey to the mighty black and gold.

Then, on a similar play, with Jamie Maki running interference in front of the net, Ian Pound set up Crisp who was alone in the right slot. Crisp made no mistake about it, one-timing the puck past a disillusioned Lancer goalie, Mark Seguin.

perfect, crushing the York Yeomen 13-5 at the York pool. This game evened the Waterloo record at four and four on the season heading into this weekend’s tournament against three of the

league’s top four teams. The York game opened on an ominous note as the Warriors were penalized inqide the first minute, however they successfully killed the man down situation. The Warriors have always had problems winning at York, and things did not look good when they trailed Z-O half way through the first quarter. Waterloo came back to tie the score at the end of the quarter on goals by Michel Denault and a buzzer beater by Greg Baldwin. The Warrio& controlled the second quarter scoring four times, two by Norb Molnar. In thE third quarter they gained control, with six different Warriors scoring to push the lead to The final frame was marre-d by some cheap shots by the Yeomen, but retribution was accorded without any significant injury for the Warriors. A final glance at the score sheet showed three Warriors, Jeff Slater, Norb Molnar and Greg Baldwin, collecting hat tricks while Keith McLeod had another strong game in net showing his reactions are coming back after a two season layoff! The Warriors travel back to the shallow water of the York pool for this weekend’s action, where a supreme effort and a bit of luck will be needed steal any points from the three games.

by Lynn H&s Imprint duff The playoff quest for the Athena soccer team hit a* snag last week as they lost two games and dropped to fourth place in * the QWIAA west division. The team travelled to Guelph on Wednesday evening and had to battle the snow and poor lighting at Guelph stadium, as well as the Gryphons. The wet, slick conditions hampered the Athenas’ usually excellent passing game and seemed to be perfect for Guelph as they played longball soccer. The final score was 2-o.

What a difference there was when Western arrived here on Sunday for the Athenas” last home game. Conditions were perfect, and Waterloo was looking to revenge their loss early in the season to Western. The Athenas came out fast from the opening kick?off and played the passing game t6 perfection. The Waterloo squad controlled the game and mid-way

through the first half, left-winger Anita Toogood took a ball down thtieleft sideline, beat the Western back, and laid a crossover to Catherine Hollifield who finished it off to see the team go up 1-U. The Athenas continued to press, but failed to score. Western came back to tie the game and the momentum swit:hed. Keeper Tammi Winchester made some excellent saves, particularly on a high far-post shot that she-just got-a hand on to direct past the post. The teams played even until the last ,ten minutes when a Western half headed a ball through to their forward who knocked it past the keeper, making the score 2-1 for the visitors. Waterloo continued to attack and only some excellent goalkeeping by Western prevented the Athenas from getting the tying goal. Sweeper Lisa Bater bit chg crossbar on a free kick and their keeper snatched it away from the incoming Waterloo striker.

As well, long4hrow specialist Kerry Jameson had the Western defenders scrambling to clear the ball. Unfortunately, they did and the score ended 2-l. The team played extremely well and special mention goes to Lisa Page, our centre back, who tackled hard, distributed the ball well and supported the attack, as well as having some scoring opportunities herself* ’ The team is still in the battle for third place and the final playoff spot.

But she needs to take more advantage of her towering height. With a notable shooting range, the coaching staff is looking for Erickson to move out to the perimeter soon. Jennifer Hinton 5%” F At first, Hinton shocked the team by announcing she wasn’t going to play this season. But after the summer, the veteran forward decided to return for a fourth year with the team and will take on co-captain duties. IIinton is the glue that holds the team together because she is smart and has a great basketball sense. Watch out for her wide shooting range.

B-ball slaughterfest by Rich Nichol Imprint staff Just like the headline says - it was a slaughterfest. What seemed like a two hour fast break layup drill was actually an exhibition game rematch between the York Yeomen and our own Waterloo Warriors. In the end, Waterloo tipped the hardwood, go-!j$ before a pitiful total of 75 fans at York’s court. The previous match-up between the two saw Waterloo win convincingly, 88-59, at the PAC. “We were surprised to be able to duplicate our efforts almost exactly this second time,” commented Warrior head coach Don McCrae. “Our defenc’e shut down York really well. With York’s inexperience we were able to play all of our players, probably for the last time because the rest of our schedule is’s lot tougher.”

Sophomore guard Andy Zienchuk is playing like a fourthyear veteran in the early going of the Warriors exhibition schedule. Zienchuk once again led the Waterloo offence with 18 points, logging almost 25 minutes on the court. Fellow third-year guard Chris Troyak also took on a leadership role orchestrating the offence and anchoring the fast breaks’ with equal floor time. “Chris and Andy worked well together with good stability”’ said McCrae+“Chris [Moore] and John [Hamilton] played outstanding for us tonight, With performances like this’ the future looks a lot brighter.” Moore potted 14 points for the Warriors while Hamilton ripped down a fair chunk of the rebounding totals. Jason Poag also had a stellar evening’ canning nine points. Overall Waterloo led the Yeomen in practically every stat on

the score sheet. The Warriors shot a respectable 48 per cent from the field and an impressive 75 per cent from the charity stripe. York meanwhile, tossed up a mediocre 35 per cent from the wood, The two teams played fairly evenly in a sporadic first half. Waterloo always had the lead, would bolt further ahead and the Yeomen would rebound to narrow the gap. The Warriors took the early lead with two quick baskets by Hamilton, York’s passes were sloppy and resembled that of a pick-up game, but the consistent scoring of forward Mike Lynch kept it close. At about the middle of the half Zienchuk had the ball in the York zone at the baseline with heavy coverage. Zienchuk just calmly passed the b.all over to a wide open Pat Telford, who ran in from the top of the key for an

authoritative slam dunk. Just before the break, Zienchuk became a one-man wrecking crew sinking three jumpers, one on an incredible steal. The Warriors led at the half 38-30~ Waterloo bolted out of the dressing room for the second half, storming ahead by taking advantage of several turnovers and key rebounds. The pace quickened, finally, but both teams were often called on three second violations in the key. York regained some dignity at 12:50 of the second half when Yeoman John Small stole the ball and slam dunked a basket of his own. The Warriors’ had a few globetrotting tricks of their own. On a throw in, Moore tossed the ball over to Poag, who had a lawnchair set up under the rim and potted an insulting two points. Zienchuk, Poag, and Troyak took turns pecking away from

Men row ho.me With. gold by Belinda

The University of Waterloo varsity rowing crews attended their fourth regatta, the Western Invitational, in London this past weekend. The crews did well despite the poor regatta organization. The Western regatta chairman was trying to resurrect a rowing association that existed before the OUAA came about. Presently small boats (fours, doubles, and singles] can race allowing smaller rowing schools such as Waterloo to participate in the Ontario University rowing season. Only eights raced according to the old association rules. The regatta officials tried to exclude small boats from the races the day of the regatta after all the crews had arrived and were ready to row. It was through the persuasion of the Waterloo head coach, Don McLean, that the small boat events were still held. Medals and plaques bearing the old association’s name were given to winning eight-man crews while simple U.W.O. medals were handed to small boat winners. In reaction to Western’s departure from the set format of OUAA and OWIAA regattas, Brock University did not attend. Several other crews such as Queen’s were also absent, having chosen to attend the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston instead. Heavyweight and lightweight men’s crews raced together this weekend since fewer crews were

present than usual. The Waterloo men’s crews, however, were not called to launch their boats and missed their originally scheduled race. An additional race was run between the two Waterloo crews and alightweight crew from McMaster. The . Waterloo heavyweight men won the first gold medal for Waterloo rowing, with the Waterloo lightweights coming in second. The McMaster light weight crew was left far behind in last place. Western later offered to lend Waterloo an eight-man shell to race in the Heavy Eight category (one of the more prestigious events). The two Waterloo men’s crews combined to form the first Waterloo Heavy Eight. They placed third, a mere ~5 meters behind the experienced Western crew and the close second place crew from U of T. The heavy eight from Erindale came in fourth behind Waterloo. The result was remarkable considering that the Waterloo men had never been together in an eight before that day, many of them had never been in an eight at all, and several were complete novices before the season began The lightweight women’s crew rowed their best race to date. They held the lead in their five boat race only to lose to Trent in the last 50 meters of the course when they thought the unmarked finish line was behind them. Three out of four rowers on the lightweight women’s crew are novices but the crew has managed to improve over the last week from a last -9. pla&e finish

to a position where they’re giving serious competition to the more experienced crews. The heavyweight women’s crew also has three inexperienced oarswomen They placed last in their race this weekend but finished in fine form. The Western Invitational was only their second race since there was trouble setting the crew at the beginning of the season. The heavyweight women’s crew was formed almost two weeks later than the other three crews but

are showing equally steady improvement. This is the University of Waterloo’s first year with crews in the OUAA 8 OWIAA races. At least half of the oarsmen and oarswomen in each boat are novice and two crews have novice coxswains. Many other universities such as Western and Queen’s have very well established rowing programs that attract experienced rowers. Even with less experienced rowers, Waterloo crews are competitive

in their first season ancl are gaining more respect for rowing at Waterloo with each race, The crews are in their last week of training before the finals in St. Catharines this upcoming weekend. All the Ontario crews will be in attendance for the most important regatta of the season. If you haven’t made any plans for Saturday, October 28, come down to Henley Island in St. Catharines and check out Waterloo’s newest varsity sport and cheer on our crews.

Tennis ZAthenas wiDed out under bubble by Ruhuni

DeAlwiss

The Athena Tennis team played their last regular season match against Western and U of T, The Athenas hosted the tournament in their usual style, playing for the first time, in the new six court bubble. Even though there have been great strides in bubble technology, they have got to figure out how to heat the oversized blister. Unfortunately, UW cannot claim that only their side of the court lacked heat. Although the weather conditions encompassed all teams, UW was definitely hardest hit. La-1.,, ‘L. ~ ..

Maybe it was the snow that fell only in Waterloo. Our opponents were so overjoyed to see the white stuff that they used this enthusiasm on the court to wipe out the home team. Or maybe it was the chance to make that long trip to Waterloo that gave our opponents the time to psyche themselves up. “The drive to the bubble from my house is only five minutes,” said Shanika DeAlwiss, number three player for UW. “That’s not enough time for me to get in the right frame of mind.” Thanks, Shanika. (She has been known to win when playing out of the country,]

Nevertheless, the UW team played hard. Although their wins were few, they deserve bonus points for trying. The team played with a winning spirit and hung together until the bitter end. Every one of them deserves a pat on the back for a job well done. To Paula, Mary, and Shanika - good wins. To Karen S., Karen B., and Fiona - good try. Aud to Marcella - thanks to a fearless leader. Well girls, here’s to the playoffs (if we made it!). Remember - winning isn’t everything, but is sure is a hell of a lot. Thanks for coming out.!

by Kevin Shoom Imprint staff The University of Waterloo has a legitimate shot at several medals in tomorrow’s (Saturday, October 281 OUAAO WIAA Cross Country Championships. Fourth-ranked nationally, the Athenas are the third-ranked Ontario team in the women’s race. The Warriors,meanwh+, hre slotted in at fifth nati&alIi but are also ranked behind two other Ontario teams. Paul Ernst, fourth last year, returns to lead the Warriors, while Lisa Laffradi has emerged as a dark-horse contender in the women’s event. only the first two Ontario teams and three individuals qualify for the CIAU Championships. The Athenas have established themselves as one of the top three teams this season, but will have to get by Western to qualify, The men’s race, meanwhile, will feature a dogfight between U of T, Queen’s, Western, and Waterloo, with Ottawa a longshot. Last Saturday, October 21, Laurier hosted an open meet at Bechtel Park. Despite fielding incomplete teams, Waterloo took second in both the men’s and women’s divisions. Athena captain Jill Francis led her team, placing fourth. Ingrid Vanderschot out kicked Maureen McLaren as they finished 14th and, lsth, and Mgrci Aitken ran to 18th. A trio of Athenas filred the 23rd to 25th spots, with Victoria Seay being followed by Fiona Griffith and Marielle Rowan, Louise Embacher came in 29th, and Linda Hachey and Claudia Hancock finished !ilst and 56th respectively. Brent McFarlane, Athena head coach, announced after the race that Vanderschot, Ait ken, Seay, and Griffith will be on the team competing tomorrow. They join Francis, Laffradi, McLaren, and Nancy Calder, who were selected earlier this month. The Warriors ran Al Faulds.
