“The city is not proud .of US” by Mike Soro Xmprint staff
The excitement was almost unbearable as representatives from Ontario’s universities, university communities and the provincial government gathered to discuss student housing issues. Wilfrid Laurier University played host (because it can’t play football) to the meeting of the minds for the 1989 Town and Gown Symposium on Saturday, November 18. The symposium, named “A Step Towards Neighbourhood Unity,” was organized by the City of Waterloo, the office of Waterloo North MPP Herb Epp, WLU Students’ Union and UW’s Federation of Students, to promote awareness, discustiion and resolutions regarding university student housing within residential neighbourhoods. Participants included mayors, councillors, residents, landlords and mufiicipal staff of many of Ontario’s university towns, representatives from university
administrations and university student associations, members of the building industry and policy planners from the Ontario ministries’ of Housing and Municipal Affairs. Noticeably absent was the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, who declined to attend. Symposium Chairperson Brian Trushinski said that though they did not .find the “golden egg” on student housing issues, many “action-oriented resolutions” were produced. A member of Waterloo’s planning department, Trushinski said the city learned that stronger by-law enforcement and mediation are “very proactive solutions.‘* The need for more community awareness of bylaws and problems landlords have when licensing boarding houses, were also identified by Trushinski as issues which surfaced during discussion workshops. Fran Wdowczyk, Federation of Students vice-president [university affairs) and a member of the Symposium Committee, called
the endeavor productive and worthwhile. Wdowczyk says she was introduced to a number of initiatives being undertaken by other university administrations and student associations+ which she would,like to see implemented at uw. Among these are the production of a two-page information pamphlet circulated by McMaster’s administration to Hamilton residents near the university, as well as the sale of the university’s paraphernalia through an outlet in the community, which is done in Kipgston and other university towns. According to Wdowczyk, “The most important outcome (of the symposium] was that we got community spirit going, ‘We try to make UW a positive member of the community by hosting events such as Canada Day, Shinerama, the Skating Party, Village Semi-formal plus faculty events, but the city does nothing to help. The city is not proud of us.”
Young Liberal love-in l
COpps’ UW ca mpagn *’ by Rose-Cunningham
Hamilton Member of Parliament, Sheila Copps, who recently announced her official bid to run for Liberal leadership, stopped off to campaign at the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier last Friday. Copps is on a cross-country tour, during which she will attempt to persuade Liberal delegates Canada-wide that she is the person to lead the Liberal Party into the nineties and back into power.’ The s&year-old first spoke at a conference at Laurier and later at a wine and cheesereception in the Davis Centre lounge. The event was organized with the help of Young Liberal groups
and her only real competition will come from Chretien. from both universities. The task of winning this federal leadership campaign will not be an easy one for Copps. The winning candidate must face the disunity of the Liberal Party on issues such as Meech Lake, and eventually the 1992 election, where Brian Mulroney will have two majority governments under his belt. Copps is currently perceived as running third in these early stages of the leadership race. She is headed by first Jean Chretien, the heavily favoured former deputy prime minister, and second, Quebecer Paul Martin Jr,, a political novice ridingroq the recognition of his father. Copps feels confident the polls will change

Copps emphasized her twelve years of experience and continued loyalty to the party, advantages she feels she holds over both Martin and Chretien.

Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG) held its annual general meeting last Wednesday, November 15 to provide members with the opportunity to find out what WPIRG had done over the past year and to preview what is in store for the next year. Also included in the meeting was the auditor’s report, financial statement and voting on this year’s <I corporate resolutions. WPIRG has been active iri three main fields of interest to Waterloo students. In the field of research, two awards they recieved were highlighted. An “Award of Merit” was given by the Regional Council of Waterloo for WPIRG’s work in waste management and recycling. Ontario PIRG, which is the provincial networking headquarters for all of the PIRGs, received the United Nations Global 500 Award. This was one of only three awarded in Canada. Dr. David Suzuki and Dr. Kenneth Bry‘naert were the other Canadian recipients. Dave Thomson In the popular education sector, WPIRG helped fund UW visits uf such international figures as Joseph Collins and Susan George. WPIRG was also involved in creating the petition to get UW to start a recycling program, raising public awareness on the Temagami issue, California grapes, and sponsoring the . two-!mah play Woza Albert, which dealt with apartheid. The research c&tre is the third aspect of WPIRG. It now has over 3,000 works catalogued in its library. The research cen‘14900 $7900 $1000 .slooO 81900 2l900 RESTAURANT

courtesy WPIRG 1 Financially, the auditors report shows that WPIRG ended up with a $5,500 deficit for the last fiscal year. The proposed budget for this fiscal year forecasts a second consecufive deficit which could exceed $7,500. The finalized budget was not yet ready as of the annual meeting 8s the executive was still looking for ways to cut the deficit. Eight corporate resolutions were put to the floor for voting. All eight resolutions were passed with majority vote. Five resolutions dealt with basic procedural requirements: acceptance of audit, appointment of auditor, acceptance of actions of previous board, accept election results for new board, and appointment of executive positions for this year. The remaining three involved significant changes for the upcoming ‘year. Fir&, members set in place a fee increase in line with the Cost of Living Allowance set by the federal government of 4.1%. This amounts to a 13 cent increase ($3.15 to $3.28) effective the beginning of summer term 1990. Secondly, WIRG’s office hours will be changed from M-F 10:00430 to M-Th 8 to 5 and by appointment on1.yfor Friday. Finally, amendments to the WPIRG bylaws will, rather than going from board level to members for voting, will now pass from the board to OPIRG and then to the members. The meeting was then adjourned.

COMMENT
Veggie commandos?
Capitalism is cannibalism! A very well-informed friend of mine at McMaster recently telephoned me very early in the morning to alert me of what he termed a “significant crisis.” Evidently,- a radical pressure group, the People’s Veggierchy Commandos (PVC) will presently be exposing a longstanding conspiracy in Canada. My friend tells me that our hamburgs, hotdogs, sal amis and saus#agesare currently made almost entirely fro m human flesh. And furthermore, our steaks, chops, &d prime rib are next on the chopping block. Any meat could be disguised as any. other meat, he assured me, through the right combination of chemicals and taste modifiers.
Wait a minute: p.lease, wait a minute, I told him. It’s late at night and you’ve awakened me with this insane conspiracy notion. It simply cannot be true. I told my friend that I found it impossible to believe the worst about our honest and just consumer society. How could they take the idea of mass consumption so literally and threaten my morals so implicitly? I was growing angry. My friend told me to stop being so naive and face up to facts. He claimed the existence of several underground processing plants and black markets that supplied cheap food to large urban centres. Like a snuff film, he said, human.flssh was exceedingly easy to acquire and process in an already overpopulated world. According to my friend and his scientific
colleagues, the other options were ultimately moreinhumane. If science did no3 mold and control consumpti,on, then we, as a society, might quickly run out of affordable housing and appropriate space in cemeteries. .This is insane, I cried over the phone. How’could Canada-be involved in this? The government is responsible for maintaining our best interests. That is exactly what it’s doing, Don’t you see?Their rhetoric says not to believe unofficial sources that discredit them, and in so doing, they turn a blind eye to the whole affair. My friend began to whisper. He suspected the government was, in-fact, providing considerable subsidies to the large food processing companies to help them develop this alternate food source. Ultimately, thby wanted to free up more pork and beef exports and cut down on lamb imports. The economid benefits
would
be tremendous
he assured me, and would
outweigh people’s morality+ Most importantly, he iterated that Canadiah firms must not lag behind the Japanese or Americans on this issue or we would soon lose our international competitiveness, Wait a minute, I reiterated. Our bastion of free press would surely have exposed this kind of scandal, No, he said. All journalists are bound to deny the existence of this conspiracy at the risk of having themselves selected for processing and consumption. Only the PVC have sacrificed f everything to go underground and expose the CCC [Canadian Cannibal Conspiracy.) They were ready to deal- with the urban police and rural militia. Their numbers were very great, but could not be disclosed. He felt certain that the “veggie 1 troops” would strike first at campuses, government offices and broadcast networks, seizing controlof the elite intellect’ middle-class resignation, and mass media manipulation. My friend felt his own life endangered at McMaster’s medical school where he and his colleagues have been working to perfect a chemical compound-that will alter the taste. and consistency of the flesh so as not to be identifiable from any of the other more common meats. Near the end of the conversation, he s’bunded very tired! He said one more thing before the line was cut, The time is near when “veggie storm-troopers” will cause such a civil crisis in Canada as to send a message to the rest of the Western world. The, PVC’s message wool& read: “We will nut tolerate ‘mass consumption of flesh; we must change our eating habits or face the charge of being civilized cannibals.” Now I .too am afraid. I have thrown away the Big Mac, half-devoured, and sit patiently waiting for my friend’s suspicions to pass from my body.
Will I eat again; or will I be eaten? Peter Stathis

Celebrity co-m too easily Has the wondrous, glorious Age of Information robbed us o,f the superlatives of our achievements? There was a time when the prerequisite for international celebrity was an elite level of excellence in one field or another. Names like DaVinci, Socrates, Einstein, Edison, Shakespeare and the like stand as clear synonyms for achievement within their chosen fields. These names carry such weight with us because only the select few from their time were given any real attention. It is only of historical interest’ for the sake of perspective, that 05 might run across names like Democritus or Courbet; names that shed light on the genious of their more renowned contemporaries by providing a contrast against which the modern student may judge their works: The peoples of the ages recognized that the world was full of mediocrity’ but it is only our current society that lauds the efforts of the barely competent. It seems that the
media presents us with a never ending parade of today’s great talents in their effort to make four minutes of content fit within the confines of their thirty minute television program. What is the end result of such exhaustive coverage?
co-op
About the same as mixing an ounce of Dam Perignon with a bottle of. Baby Duck. One quickly loses sight of the great achievements, hidden within a sea of meaningless filler.
It is hard to imagine any real geniuses arising, from the present being recognized by future generations. It would just be too much work to sift through the masses of candidates supported by one faction or another. It seems that regardless of what field one wishes to consider, their are innumerable awards given out to its minions with a regularity that defies their actual merit. Consider the number of awar& ceremonies for authors’ actors, musicians and so on. It is absolutely insane to believe that there are sufficient visionaries in those fields to warrant such thorough recognition, Andy Warhol may have been right.

Symbols are evil TO
To the editor, This letteris written jointly by both a MAN and a WOMAN, addressing the recent topic of
heated debate in Imprint and in society abroad - the status of women. First alid foremost, we find it amusing and disturbing how women define “demeaning portrayals” of their sex in society. They are justified in speaking out about causes that have substance, such as the banning of beauty pageants, about rapeprevention, sexual harassment and discrimination in general, which can be applied to men as well. Topics of the like deserve media and public attention. However, what we are sick--of hearing about are the feeble natterings of women crying “sexism” every time we turn around. For example, those opposing the Homecoming“89 poster must either be a little slanted, or desperately searching for anything to attack on the grounds of sexual inequality. To most people, the poster was not offensive nor suggestive (excluding the few with overactive imaginations or expectations) nor did it require ’ banishment. Furthermore if the claim that the word “manholes” will be changed to “maintenance holes” ’ (Imprint,Nov. 17) is true {we stress if), it is yet another example of women going overboard on ; such issues. What are they gaining by changing this or any other word? Do they think that having a piece of steel covering a hole in the gro’ Id is giving credit to men by incb;porating their name in its title? We think not! Shouldn’t women be focussirrg their effor,ts on issues that have true relevance? Sure, we can see policeman being changed to policeperson or policewoman so that those.,aspiring, young females who wish to become such, aren’t inhibited; , but manhole?!? We doubt this title would defer anyone’s future
\
occupational plans. We’re surprised the women of UW haven’t found it disturbing that they are not called Warriors along with the men. just for interest’s sake, how many varsity teams segregate their women from their men by the way of a name? Can women not be Warriors too? More seriously, we are concerned that such “nit-picking” by women is going to discredit the good works that can be accomplished by women’s groups with a real cause. Many people - women and men alike - are going to get sick and tired of listening to their pitiful complaints
and will be deaf to the sounds of a true issue of importance when it arises. As the old adage goes, “If you cry wolf too many times, people will no longer listen.” Unfortunately, a fEw I?) extreme women may end up wrecking it for all womankind. We wonder, are women not proud to be women anymore?

“lridology \
To the editor,
I was wondering how long it would take for the issue of iridology to resurface in imprint (“Wholistic - for the whole self,” November 10). Since Robert Day “debunked” this practice a couple of years ago in Imprint, I have researched the subjects extensively and formed the personal conviction that iridology is quackery. However, the point of this letter is only to indicate the seriously warped implications cant ained in unsubstantiated or incomplete statements that often appear in pro-iridology literature. Take, for example, Michael H. Clifton’s feature article, The first two paragraphs prepare readers to open their minds to a new concept. The reader should have been told that iris diagnosis originated in 1880, about the same time that scientists were trivializing Mendel’s theory of inheritance. Iridology is not at all new. Is the casual reference to John Nauss’s “lectures” for UW’s op-

is quackery”
tometry depdrtment intended to lend him credibility? Allow me to complete the story. I am a final year optometry student. Every profession, optometry included, has an ethical responsibility to critically examine and weigh the claim of “new” or controversial theories and clinical procedures. To this end, a faculty member invited Mr. Nauss, in 1985, to speak to our students. The autonomic nervous system is that part of our nervous system responsible for involunt ary reflexes, including cons triction of the pupil in intense light, and dilation in dim light. Mr. Clifton has reported that these fibers “register what is going on throughout the body.” Most iridologists state without proof that the autonomic nervous system mediates the mapping of the entire body in the iris of the eye. This statement is intended to mislead the reader. Finally, the label of “professional practitioner” was erroneously awarded to Mr. Nauss. It
myths and fears
People with epilepsy often complain that popular myths and fears are more disabling than the medical condition itself. Well, in this week’s column I’d like to dispel the countless misconceptions and misunders t&dings surrounding this chronic disorder of the “brain. Epilepsy is not a mysterious disease. It is a sign or symptom of an underlying neurological disorder which is character&d by the tendency to have recurrent seizures. Seizures are sudden, uncontrolled episodes of excessive electrical discharges of brain cells, associated with sensory, motor and/or behavioural changes. They may occur at any age, regardless of an individual’s sex or race. Epilepsy research in the medical field has been progressing rapidly, and although a cure remains elusive, effective treatment is readiIy available, For 80 per cent of people with epilepsy, medication can control their seizures. Therefore, it is the public’s reaction to epilepsy, not the control the condition itself, which is the principal problem that epileptics face. Discrimination at school and in-the workplace is a sad reality for people with epilepsy. The
the editor,
Over the past few months readers have written in complaining about the symbols used in your music rating guide. Upon reading the November 17 edition of Imprint, we were rather shocked to find other equally offensive symbols. For example: the cross representing Christianity, and the Star of David, representing the Jewish faith, We found these symbols can be offensive to other beliefs and non-beliefs such as Satanism and atheism. We find the martini equally offensive as it ‘promotes drinking and general carrying on. We also feel that the
faces when seeking education or employment is the misconceptions of peers and employers: Many people fear that their presence will disrupt the normal classroom or office routine. This fear is, in most cases, unwarranted. In fact, statistics indicate that people with epilepsy on tiverage, take less sick time off and have fewer accidents on the job than that of the general workplace. Unfortunately, negative public attitudes are slow to change and the epileptic is still faced with prejudice and coloured attitudes regarding his/her role in society.

It’s interesting how the article neglected to mention this. “Iridology is of no medical value and might even be a potential danger to people seeking medical care, It should be exposed as a medical fraud.”

Patrick’s To the editor, I picked up a copy of Imprint and and the first thing to hit mein the face was an article about the banning of the Homecoming posters. 1 couldn’j believe that this had been done. I noticed that there were not that many around campus, but I didn’t know that they had been banned. Then the article continued to expIain the reasons for the removal of the poster. First, the girl was kneeling beside the guy so that was taken as being demeaning to women. In the-article, it said “if it’s not discrimination for one, it shouldn’t be discrimination for the other,” but I know that if the figures had been reversed there would have been no ban on the posters. You can bet
on that. Next, the lighting caused the -girl’s shadow to be projected onto the guy’s crotch. Supposedly this was suggestive and offensive’to people viewing the posters. I honestly think that the people who ordered the removal of the posters were seeing what they wanted to see. The caption also read “Your passport to GOOD TIMES!!!” Is Homecoming not supposed to be fun? Are we not supposed to try to have a good time at university? 1 remember walking across campus and seeing the Homecoming posters and thinking how professionally they had been done. I liked the posters and thought that the Feds had done a really good job. Why did I not see this supposed smut plastered
across the front of this poster advertising Waterloo’s never-ending fight to demean women and show the world that we are nothing but sex-crazed maniacs? I think that this sexist maie-female superiority thing really has gone too far. I look at this poster and probably the reason that the girl was kneeling was to give the photo some balance. Even if the guy had been kneeling and the girl standing, it shouldn’t be looked at like some battie for gender preference. It’s just a photo for crying out loud! Everybody has to have some stupid &us& don’t they? Please, do me a favour and just give it a rest. Maybe the people responsible should try to decide what they would have found appropriate. Imagine this. A guy and a girl,
approximately
the same height and weight, standing side by side to avoid any symbolism of degration. They would be wearing the exact same thing and standing with their hands at their sides. Then the lighting -.ould have been shone right in their expressionless faces to avoid any nasty shadows and the caption would have read “Homecoming - a place to not have too many GOOD TIMES!!!” Sound good? I’m just glad that I was not the person in charge of the spending
of funds and organization of the production of these posters. After a large amount of t’lme and effort a great poster is made, printed and Idistributed only to have a select few order them removed. If it was me I would have had a fit. I ask Mr. Kalbfleisch and his gang to take a second look at one of these posters (if you kept one for yourselves) and ask if maybe it is all just in your minds.

I disagree on some of your views expressed in “Woody Allen’s criminal mind’:, Imprint, November 17. I believe you miss the point. It is true that Allen asks big questions, both in Hannclh and her sisters and Crime and Misdemeanors, but certainly I would not consider his latest film a failure. Allen is not a comic: his art is a direct critic to the American way of life. He does this by taking to extremes familiar aspects of reality. He finds virtues and flaws in the American model. He is a philosopher. To alleviate the tension created when criticizing our ways, he uses comedy, Allen has questioned our concept of religion, sex, our concept of relationships, our concept of success. Nobody likes to be told, straight in the face, that there is the possibility of a different way $0 carry on with his life. The central question asked in Crime and Misdemeanors is the practicalities of morality. Classical works as Tolstoi’s Crime and Punisment have deeply ex-
what is good and what is bad. Allen discusses what has become a common American moral
standard. In the Regan’s world, as long as you can get’along with something, as long as nobody finds out, along as nobody catches you, your acts are morally correct. This view is represented by several characters in the film. The opposite moral statement is “a crime is a crime,” independently of who finds out. This position proposes the existence of a universal morality “that always watches” {it can be named God). This position is based on the pa: radigm that if an act is correct there is no need to hide it. Allen display both positions beautifully in the film. Arguments in both directions are portrayed by different characters in the movie. Moreover Allen reaches superb symbolism, when the rabbi, a character that pepresents the universal morality position, is going blind. Yes, in North America, more and more people are convinced,

Ken Dye, the Auditor-General of Canada, wants to set up a hotline to blow the whistle on government overspending, and a group of students at the University of Waterloo want to help. The Auditor-General is the “bloodhound” of government. He is independent and does not be-. long to any political party. It’s his job to report government’s mismanagement of funds to the House of Commons every year, in the form of an annual report. Wasteful spending is brought to the attention of the public this way. Come election time, the public should be able to judge the present government by looking at the waste it has created or eliminated. In this year’s report, the AGdrew attention to the fact that cabinet ministers spent almost two million dollars on travel costs and the use of government
planes. The pressure resulting from this revelation has meant that all travel expenses of ministers are now public information. Ministers have been sent the message that they are accountable for the funds the public allows them. He also drew attention to the Marine Sciences Research Institute in Mont Joli, Quebec, which was supposed to cost $17 million at completion. The project is still incomplete, and the government now predicts a total cost of $77 miilion. The federal government’s need for tax dollars would be reduced if it became more efficient, Dye feels. The Office of the AuditorGeneral is trying to improve the government’s’ efficiency. One obstacle to the AG is finding all cases of misspent funds. Establishing a hotline similar the successful K-W “Crimestoppers Hotline” to anonymqusly report waste would help Fle AG pinpoint areas and de-
pzrtmeir7fs to be inlvestigated immediately. Such a venture would not be a fly-by-night operation. The program would cost $600,000 to set up and another$300,000 per year to maintain. A similar program in the US, gives Americans a return of between $20 and $50 per dollar invested. The program would protect identities, so that government workers, or even taxpayers will be able to report perceived overspending. Since university students are the taxpayers of tomorrow, an on-campus group, Citizens Against Waste in Government, has put together a petition which will be presented to various Members of Parliament, The petition is available for signatures beside the Turnkey desk in the Campus Centre (at the Ring Road exit). The group believes that with public backing, the MPs will force the government to react ,and initiate this hotline,

Is douching necessary? DEAR SEXPERT: I am a sexually active female (with only one partner) and am curious to find out more about vaginal douches. How necessary are they and how often should they be used? ANSWER: Although vaginal douches can be useful at times, they are generally -not necessary and there are risks associated with frequent use. One possible reason for douching would be to clean ou‘t contraceptive foams and jelliLes from the vagina after intercourse, However, this should NEVER be done within six to eight hours after intercourse because you would be washing out the spermicides that help to prevent pregnancy, Although douches can be useful for this, alternatives [such as taking a long shower the following morning) should be considered’ because frequent douching can lead to infections in the vagin.a. There are bacteria in the vagina that prevent infections, but douching changes its normal acidity and takes away this natural form of protection. If you are concerned about routine hygiene, douches are not necessary for this. All that is necessary is regular bathing with a mild soap and washing bet ween the folds of the vulva. This will not eliminate all vaginal odour but why should it? If your partner is offended by nature, that’s his problem. One important thing to note though ig that an unusually strong odaur might be a symptom of an infection or sexually transmitted disease. In this case you should get it checked out by a doctor [don’t douche before your appointment because this will make it more

Canada World Youth (CWY) gives young Canadians and their Third World counterparts the opportunity to learn about international development and interpersonal communication through a challenging seven month cross-cultural program, Informal learning through hands-on experience is an important aspect of the CWY philosophy.

difficult to detect infections). Deodorant vaginal sprays are another product that could be used for hygiene. However, these can cause allergic reactions or irritation in some females, and there are no significant positive effects to offset this. Although the following information is probably not relevant to what you’re asking, I’ll mention it for completeness. Dpuching after intercourse can slightly reduce the iisk of getting a sexually transmitted disease. However, this is not reliable and frequent douching can have the negative effects mentioned above. People concerned about protecting themselves against STDs would be better off using condoms and contraceptive foams that contain nonoxonyl-9. There is absolutely no truth to the myth that vaginal douches can be used as a method of birth control. In fact, they increase the chance of a pregnancy occurring. Douching might wash sperm out of the vagina but it is just as likely to push them closer to the cervix (if they aren’t there already).

Ontario’s job market is the most active in Canada. Em,ployers report making three and even four job offers before obt’aining a suitable person. Shortages of specialists are widespread, particularly for experienced systems analysts, sales engineers, heating, ventilating and air conditioning engineers, electrical engineers+ mechanical project engineers and accountants. Job hunters from other provinces are reluctant to consider Ontario, especially Toronto, because of high housing prices, the lack of rental accommodation and the quality of life. Young professional couples are leaving Toronto for areas with lower housing costs, thus reducing the supply of available talent.
VW - Job vacancies for accountants, engineers, scientists and executives increased seven per cent in the last year, according to the Technical Service Council’s quarterly survey of industries from coast-to-coast Although openings increased eight per cent during the three months ended September 30, Ontario vacancies did not change. Ontario has more jobs -than any other province, but council officials see the lack of growth as the beginning of a decline in demand. The survey, which reflects openings in industry and not institutions and government, showed major differences between the regions. In British Columbia, openings for specialized engineers were concentrated in pulp and paper mills, construction and electronics firms and consulting engineers. About 30’per cent of job offers in B.C. are declined by candidates, but vacancies are filled more rapidly than in Ontario. Fewer openings in B.C. remain unfilled after three months.
This trend has benefited employers in cities like Kitchener, Cambridge, St. Catharines and Peterborough. Some Toronto firms have moved staff to small outlying cities for fear of losing good people. ‘In Quebec, demand is strongest for experienced engineers
[always with specialized experience), accountants, technical representatives, and both commercial and scientific programmers and sy?ems analysts. Some specialists are in such demand that they are constantly solicited by search firms and employers, which encourages them to be selective. Some employers have responded by countering job offers, while a few have offered signing bonuses, automobiles, or extra vacations to get the right person. Communication skills are considered important in most positions. and receive more emphasis in engineering, dataprocessing and accounting than ten years ago. Employers are also looking for self-motivated people who are flexible, because, they are uncertain how their organizations will be structured in the future.

from gaining Federation cIub statuS. ’ The proposed addition, Section 3.4, states “The Federation of Students will not recognize any clubs which practise any form &coercive techniques on their membership or potential membership, nor will any clubs be recognized who are found to be associated with an outside body which practices coercion, or knowingly violates any of the Policies herein,” According to its preamble, this bylaw is primarily concerned with religious groups which operate on campus. Terry Playford, the Federation’s internal liaison officer, says this bylaw was draw up in response to growing concerns about cults on campus, One group which needs to meet the bylaw is the Transcendental Meditation group, which is currently seeking official club status here and on the University of Guelph campus. To do so, they must present a democratic constitution for their club, a list of the executive’s names, ID numbers titles, address and stu- 1 dent status, and a. list of members and their student status as well. All this is in keeping with current Federation clubs policy. Helga Tucker, of The Council On Mind Abuse (COMA), a cult Lwatch dog organization, recommends that universities should also include other stipulations in their clubs policies. Finding out whether or not the g&up is nonprofit is one important point. ?Because,” as she says,“if a group is not non-profit and they are on campus, you know what you have? A business, that can get university funding and support .” Her further advice to students’ councils of universities is that, “The most important thing is to get any desired information from a new group on paper. You can’t take wind to the police or civil court.” The religious nature of Transcendental Meditation has been questioned many times in the past, and it was labelled a religion in a 1978 Appeals Court ruling in Philadelphia. If this group does get club status it will have access to Federation funding, use of university (audio/visual equipment, room bookings, graphic services) and use of the Federation poster boards, as the clubs policy states. COMA is currently on a cult awareness campaign to, update people’s knowledge of cults. Unlike the cults of the seventies, Tucker Bays the newer ones have changed and adapted to todai’s yuppie market place. No longer having religious bases, they now parade as counselling services which

Killer fungi are being used, right here on UW campus, to effectively and economically suppress. and ultimately kill off pathogens and new invaders. No, it’s not a new video game. A UW biology prof is using the “killer fungi” to develop a synthetic potting soil to be used by greenhouse owners, landscapers and green thumb types. Dr. Kuruvila Zachariah recently received an $11,000 University Research Incentive Fund grant from the provincial government to continue his research on the synthetic soil. The grant is the first of its kind to be awarded to biology. The current technique of killing off pathogens and other soil invaders is to “pasteurize” the soil, by heating it. Pathogens include pythium, the common cause of “damping off” in house plants. Pasteurizing also kills off microscopic-sized “nematode” worms that abound in nature and often present problems to indoor plant growers.

Negotiating your *way to, success bv Daneal Charnev &print staff * To get what you want in life, whether it’s a raise, a higher mark, or an extension on an essay, you’ll: have to learn how to negotiate. Two of the world’s best negotiators of all ti,me, Jesus Christ and Socrates, knew the secrets ofI negotiations. Almost everything in life is negotiable; you just have to understand how to gain the favour of people who have what you want. Herb Cohen, a guru of negotiating skills, explains in his book You Can Negotiate Anything the crucial elements of negotiations. This article is based on his suggestions. Information, time and power are the three key elements always pres. ent in negotiations. Often, we feel disadvqntaged in these respects (ie: we feel .the other side is not under the same time restraints) but if we can change our attitude, we can use these elements to our advantage. Herb Cohen’s favorite story explains negotiations in his “one-price store” scenario. A couple go to a store to buy a refrigerator. As they approach the one they like, they notice a professionally-printed price ominously staring at them. The price is over their budget. The salesperson, upon seeing that the pair are interested in one particular refrigthat he’ll erator, says abruptly write up the sales slip. They feel so embarrassed that they can’t really afford the fridge, that rather than admit it, they just nod their heads. This situation, one which has confronted many people, [especially in crowded mails with pushy commission-motivated salespersons) can be very intimidating. It seems that there is an imbalance in all _ . three key negotitating elements: information, time pressures, and a lack of perceived power. The potential negotiators have made a mess of the situation by letting the salesperson know directly
related to price may give the salesperson more flexibikcy in the offering price. Trade-in allowance is an area where the salesperson may be willing to lower the price. This is a good technique to use when buying a car. Negotiate to have the salesperson deduct the price of the tradein from the price of the new car. One of the most powerful tools of negotiating is the ultimatum. Its success depends on the extent to which the other side makes an investment of time and energy. Therefore it’s important to make an ultimatum when the salesperson has invested so much time that he is keen to get a return on his efforts. Other ways to make your ultimatum stick are by using “soft ultima-

The attitude of a negotiator, according to Cohen, should not be sure and egoistic, despite how good negotiators are commonly portrayed. Instead, the negotiator should display his human qualities to the other side. Modesty and asking
duct of negotiation, it is obviously negotiable. People also gain power by taking risks. Overall, Canadians risk far less than their American cousins. It seems we are anxious to invest in a “sure thing.” But, to be a good negotiator, ,one must sometimes take a risk. The power of expertise is also an effective negotiating tool. Often people accept an expert’s opinions as the final word. If you are perceived by others as having specialized knowledge, many people will treat you with respect. Establishing your background and credentials
early in a confrontation makes your statements less likely to be challenged. Persistence is also a power in itself, Most ideas are resisted fiercely when first introduced., This occurs because people generally do not like change. They find the status quo comfortable. This means in negotiations, you need perseverance to win. Time is important for negotiations. According to Cohen, the most significant concessions and settle-

As long as you get there before its over, you’re never too late. - James J. Walker that they’re interested in the product. They’ve also shown they can be pushed around, and finally they’ve accepted the legitimacy of the price. Often, we do not question things such as printed documents, forms and contracts because we perceive them to be the final word. This isn’t ne’cessarily _ so. The Q~st valuable &gotiating tool in @urnstanctis. such as this one is u~&ng comp&ition,. Think of your money as something @veryone is bidding for, Let others know that there are comparable models in rival outlets that are cheaper or that you like better, Perceived competition creates an’instant edge in your favour, Showing that your needs are not satisfied also provides’ an advantage in negotiating. Whether real or fictionalized, making reference to unsatisfactory qualities of the product indicate to the salesperson that your needs are not fully met. Therefore, his needs shouldn’t be totally satisfied either. With every trapsaction, both parties should win. Dealing with secondary elements
up your final position with some form of documentation. A tactic Cohen calls the “nibble” is often used preceding the ultimatum. The nibble gets the other side to invest his time in you, For instance, spending six hours asking questions and looking at products before you make an ultimatum make’s it harder for him or her to say no to it because of the time invested in you.
questions are important to this process. These characteristics are especially important when using the nibble approach. Cohen advises using a collaborative approach at the initial stages of the nibble tactic, as though you’re hungry for help, Pretending you need help, forces the other side to invest time in you. Power is also essential forGego& ation. It is simply a way of getting from one point to another. Power is not all negative: there are’ many forms of positive power. Already
ment actions occur close to the deadline. Therefore, it is to your advantage to be. patient, rather than jI make panicky and rash compromises. Do not be coaxed into believing that deadlines are sacred. A dead2 line is also a product of negotiation, and therefore negotiable. In negotiation with adversaries, do not reveal your real deadline to the other side, and if possible find out theirs. Although the other side may seem to have all the time in the world, their deadlines are limited too. Information is the most crucial element of negotiations. Try to obtain information prece&g any negotiations. This information could come directly from the colleagues of the other side, objective third parties, or the adversary’s competition. The more information you have about the other side’s deadlines, financial position, priorities, costs, real needs, and organizational pressures, the better off you are. Again,
The secret of walking on water is knowing where the stones are. mentioned are the powers of precedent and Iegitimac). We shoild be wary of both of these whenthey are being used against us, but at the same time, we should use them to our advantage. Do not regard printed words as the final word. Use these documents to strengthen your negotiations. Begin to question the legitimacy of things. Legitimate documents and prices are only the result of other negotiations and by no means absolute. For instance, a price in a store has been manipulated by the marketing, financial, and advertising departments before it was decided upon. There is no legitimate price that came out of the “The Big Printer in the Sky.” Cohen reasons that since price is the pro-
using the modest .?h&p: me” approach gets .a)more responsive audience; You can use information to your advantage. Say you want to buy stereos from a manufacturer. A key piece of information you would like is the other side’s real l&its to cost, and how much they are willing to sacrifice to make a deal.-Assuming a budget of $15,000, begin with a low offer. When it is declined, let it climb slowly, but by a narrower number each time as if you are approaching your upper limit. - Negotiating is a vital, everyday skill that can help you to be successful. By practising negotiating skills in circumstances where the stakes are not high, you can prepare yourself for the big time. Good luck!
lease is eagerly awaited. At about 11:00 p.m., Blue Rodeo took the stage and launched into a set of tunes from their two LPs, Outskirts and Diamond Mine. Over the next ninety minutes or so, the band showed why, a couple of weeks ago, they received their Casby as Canada’s best band. At the opening chords of Outskirts barnburner Heart Like Mine, the stage was a-crushed with people, all dancing and many singing along.
by Peter Brown Imprint staff Blue Rodeo used to be regulars ‘round these parts, but success with their latest LP, Diamond ~ia8, has drawn them away to exotic locales like Hollywood to visit such luminaries as the Streepster herself. All kidding aside, it’s good to see Jim and Greg and the boys getting exposure south of the border, when you consider only moderately talented bands such the Cowboy Junkies becoming media darlings. Blue Rodeo has been virtually ignored in the U.S., except for a promising Rolling Stone review. Anyway, how qbout the concert? The Rodeo made their much-awaited return to the Fed Palace last Saturday night, and delivered their usual molten performance, This band has built a reputation of energetic and intense live work, and certainly lived up to their billing. The polarized vocal styles of co-leads Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor again set off the satisfying mix of country and guitar psychedevlia, But, lemme talk about the opening act first. Last time, they had Crash Vegas, and the tradition of solid openers continued. An Australian band called Tall Tales and True, a true product of the late 80’s guitar resurgence+ treated our ears to forty minutes of interesting and entertaining guitar rock. This five-member group rumbled and crooned its way through a wide range of stuff, from heavy rock/blues to semiacoustic country.

Greg Keelor gave the audience a taste of his Dylan-esque nasal twang in the Rodeo’s more rocking tunes Joker’s Wild and Out skirts, two songs that encapsulate the cynical personal and social comment of the band. Meanwhile, Jim “Cuddly” Cuddy (Jude says “Mmm-mmmm”] revealed their country ballad side with House of Dreums and encore favourite Try. The concert featured the always solid and occasionally inspired bass work of Basil Donovan and drumming of Mark French, the newest member. And, as always, the customers closest to the right side of the stage could get their money’s worth by watching intense and eclectic keyboardist Bobby Wiseman, who just never sits still. Wiseman involves his entire+ body in the music, and does not rest with a part of his hardware untouched, using elbows, knees, and inanimate objects on his ivories, especially during such solo sound delicacies as Piranha Pool and Diamond Mine.

After we figured out how the beer stands worked, Pete and I waited and waited for the first auditory assault. The opening group, Ultima Thule, was a more than adequate warm-up band. These Estonian rockers, whom 54-40 met during a Moscow rock festival, are fresh, lively, and sometimes even sing in English. Most interesting, however, are
Floating, a favourite for Wiseman fans, was conspicuously absent, as were live gems Love and Understanding and Let’s Live It Up While It’s Still Legal. But the set was still jam-packed with tunes from the Diamond Mine LP: One Day, The Dime Store Greaser and the Blonde Mona Lisa, and Now and Forever, as well as their live standards Galveston and What Am I Doing Here.
Frozen in blood Keelor preceded Florida with a description of the events leading to him writing the song. Something about his best friend stealing his gal on a vacation, and the two of them now living in suburban limbo in Scarborough. The Rodeo finished off their encore with a characteristic inQtrumental number, with Wiseman, Donovan, and French all chipping in solos. Altogether, Blue Rodeo made a fine introduction to newcomers and gave old fans more of what they love about the band: a mixture of classically country hurtin’ songs, rocking celebrations of love, and rich, psychedelic accounts of “the outskirts of your life.”

their modern interpretations of Estonian folk tales. They entertained the crowd for a good hour or so, but after a while all their material started to sound the same. I was a teensy bit glad to see them go. Also, the sound system (either the Twist’s or the band’s) was incredibly loud and painful, and I fekrled that my delicate hearing wouldn’t last the night. It did: however, my ears were still ringing thirty-six hours later. After a painfully long wait, during which we were sutijected to horrid danse musique, 54-40 took the stage.

h BOREllPixies debacle y OFTHE’ NMlTllFE ? bjr Derek Weiler Imprint staff
The Apocalypse Club, nestled iin the heart of Little Italy on Toronto’s College St. West, is unquestionably a hole. The place is tiny and was not designed with a I=oncert-going audience in mind. The ceilings are low and cramped, and the stage is raised perhaps one foot off the floor. I Even under the best of circumI stances, it’s not a very good place 1to see a band. And tonight is far 1from the. best of circumstances. Anticipation of tonight’s attraction has resulted in a soldout show, and the tiny club is packed to the rafters. From the, stage back, there is one solid crush of human flesh. As you I---l mm-ml-P .I move rarrner Dam, people arc or the standing on chairs shoulders of their friends, or li! terally hAnRing from the beams ! ’ 1 n the ceiling. The end re this- mess :* +L* **a
Ace photos Piet Stathis leans against a wall, sadly shaking his head. “I’ll never truly be able to say I saw the Pixies,” he says with a rueful smile. Nodding glumly, I wander off to try to catch another glimpse of what’s happening onstage. No luck. Perhaps the cruelest aspect of this whole business is that the Pixies are performing fabulously. In fact, when they took the stage and started flogging the B-side Do the Manta Ray, I almost thought they’d be able to pull it off. Certainly, they’re giving it their best, running through songs from DoolittIe and Surfer Rosa with passion and power. Cactus drips with -steamy Ye-
Evidently, the crush in front of the stage has become so serious that the Pixies must cut the show short. So after a fine run through Manta Ray, Charles announces, that they’ll be finishing up with Tame. They play the song and leave the stage, but the crowd doesn’t budge. Clearly they’re expecting an encore; after all, the Pixies have played for less than an hour. Only after a terse announcement from a manager (“Ladies and gentlemen, that’s it, the show is over!“] do they begin, reluctantly, to disperse. In the aftermath of a concert that will universally be remembered as a disaster, it’s hard to

But with $.‘~.&&,‘:‘&ttingthe band putting in so much, how could the concert have been such a complete catastrophe? The fans that were there that night will have to bear their fair share of the blame. The crowd’s selfish and disgusting behaviour only ensured that a poor time was had by all. But most of all, the Pixies should never have been booked into a place as tiny as the Apocalypse. I don’t know who was responsible for that, but they goofed. Even the intense demand for tickets for the sold-out show demonstrated that. If the Pixies had been afforded the medium they deserved (they could have easily filled RPM or the Diamond, or even‘prbduced a respectable turnout at the Concert Hall) the concert would very likely have been one of the major 8%&r, as it’s been\0 nighi.

by Leslie Petrault Imprint staff South Pacific has been seen by most television viewers. Many of us may know songs such as I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right / Outta My Hair. and Some En‘chanted Evening. From November 15-19, The Centre in the Square hosted the Rodgers and Hammerstein production. The musical is set on two islands in the South Pacific during a lull in fighting with Japan. The most spectacular feature of the whole production is the set. Like The King and I shown last season at the Centre, it thrusts the audience immediately into a different era. In both cases, it is a time where optimism prevails, regardless of the surrounding circumstances. My first impression of the production was that it seemed out of sync with what ‘is going on in the world today. There was the naive, happy-go-lucky attitude of Nellie Forbush, a native from Little Rock, Arkansas. Her admirer, Emile De Becque, is more worldly than Forbush, but
lie s Cl1 seeks

someone
“young and smiling” to fill the gap in his life. The two refer to themselves as “cock-eyed optimists.” The American marines are being asked by their superiors to “lick the Japs,” but they are optimists and disregard thoughts
of battle in favor of fun. The nurses on the island share in the antics, and the sailors love iti after all, There is Nothing Like a Dame! Of course, one must remember that this play is of a different era, The people behaved differently, and they probably had to. In the midst of death and fear, South Pacifid shows the sense of fraternity that was needed to get through the war. It shows that
people can search for happiness in the simplest ways: that romance can evolve out of a battle caused by hatred. South Pacific is a‘very funny play.

the greatest
laugh when he dresses up as a “beautiful” dame, complete with shapely coconuts on top. De Becque humorously mimics the American women as he dances around the stage, a towel over his head, singirig I’m Gonna Wash that Man Right Outta My
Hair. The most redeeming feature of the play is also the most relevant: that of racial confrontation. The Americans have been “taught to hate all the people [their) relatives hate,” those who have eyes of ai “odd”‘shape, and skin of a different shade. Both central romantic relationships in the production rely on a resolution of racial differences. When these differences are
resolved, the audience sees that even at that time, prejudice, could be overcome. The optimism and humanitarian elements that grow out of this production remain in the viewer’s mind, South Pacific leaves a warm feeling in your heart. Although the world may seem impossibly happy, its effect is positive. South Pacific is a lot of fun and one should not be too quick5 dismiss its releVance.

Char Ots of the Bigheads
by John Hymars Imprint staff
It seems that being Canadian is almost advanta&ous in the music business these days. Sure, Bruce Cockburn took a while to achieve global notice, but the worId has grown up since then and discovered Blue Rodeo, Jeff Healy, Cowboy Junkies, k.d. lang, Sons of Freedom, and so on. And now our unsuspecting planet is about to get a taste of the latest Canadian assault: Monuments Galore, from Winnipeg, This Saturday, they raid the Bombshelter in support of their new, Mitch Easter-produced album. According to the band, there should be no surprise about where they come from: Winnipeg is apparently crawling with young, new bands. “Right now,” says drummer Doug Dobson, “it’s actually quite- booming. There is a bii surging of original bands coming out from there.” But Monuments Galore paid their dues before breaking free of
pened to have his number. So we just phoned him up and got through to him and sent him some tapes. He loved them, and it worked out from there.” Mitch Easter or not, the biggest publicity push Monuments Galore received was from the Canadian public, in the form of the CASBY awards: they won an award in last year’s ceremonies for “Best Unsigned Recorded Act,” says Dobson, “We were shocked. We had no idea. We didn’t even know that ,Ar* IAIPFPnnmin atnt-4 INn happened to be watching ‘rii awards, and we went ‘oh yeah, this looks fairly Canadian.‘Then Dave Thomas (of SCTV fame) came on and named a few bands, Change of Heart and a few others, and nominated us. We just went pheeew, and then we won; it was quite a shock. It was good; real good, lots of exposure in Toronto.” This good exposure has merely augmented their seven year existence. If nothing else, ill@+
Monuments Galore have been Inked with the ancient Mayans. Winnipeg’s musical permafrost. According to Dobson, they initiated the warming trend: “We pretty well were at the forefront of it (the wave of new bands). We started this a long time ago. Seems like lately that everybody has jumped on the band wagon. Yeah, lots of original bands right now. The Johns, the Watchmen, the Crash Test Dummies. In fact, they’re [the Crash Test Dummies) working on a deal with BMG right now, the same label that we are on.” With all these bands coming out of Winnipeg, it makes sense that somehow it is special, that it somehow coerces bands out of the city’s furthest corner and deepest crack. ‘*Well,+’cominents Dobson, “in Winnipeg you have nothing to do in the winters except staying down in your basement and keep warm and write songs. It makes you work a little hardep <in the
’
However, this did not constitute a problem for the Winnipeg quintet. Says Dobson: “No, we weren’t really too worried about that because we are nothing like R.E.M. But we didn’t know what to expect. We just taIked to him on the phone and he sounded like a real down to earth Southern type of guy. When he got off the
winters: that’s for sure. But we don’t have nothing to compare it
stops along the way; including two colleges in the Maritimes. And, as far as I know, we are about eleven overall on the college radio, which is pretty good.” The product that they are pushing on this tour is their first BMG release, a self titled effort produced by Mitch’ Easter, whose most notable work was with R&E.M. Working with such a bigname can prove to be quite an albatross, especially in the pigeon holing cate :ory so loved by the masses.
“We had this album recorded for about a year before we even had a record deal. So, it (getting Easter) was all our own doing. We happened to know a girl who happened to live there and hap-
record deal, and stuff like that which boosts you along the way. You just keep looking for things like that, and hopefully this album will do well for us.”

I mean, look at the real thing: they’re kinda fun in small doses, but listen to ‘em for a while and they get real annoying real quick. Yet for some reason they’ve spawned a whole legion of PWEI
wanna-be’s, “grebo” bands. Jesus Jones and the Wonderstuff are two of those. Jesus Jones have followed PWEI into the world of metal guitar meets hip-hop rythms. Too bad that they have even less to say than the Poppies. Too bad their first LP Liquidizer is a load of boring crap. Too bad I can’t even think of anything else to

the Wonderstuff
are a prime singles band, Their tirst album, The Eight-Legged Groove Machine contained a batch of great singles - It’s Yer Mbney I’m After Baby, A Wish Awtly, Unbearable - three minute masterpieces that effectively can)ouflaged the dreck that surrounded them. On Hup, I’m afraid there’s a little less camouflage and a little more dreck. The first single, Don’t Let Me Down, Gently is a blast of fresh air . . . well, not completely fresh, since it wouldn’t sound at all out of place on the first LP. Golden Green and Unfaithful are also keepers; the latter sounds like the Waterboys attempting Norwegian Wood. ’ Other than that? Well, it’s , . . okay, I guess, but not muchmore . than that. It’s all pretty mediocre, in fact. In the old days, back when it was okay to be a “singles band”, a group like the Wonderstuff would release a single at a time, and then collect them all into an alburin.
say about this except don’t waste your money on it. Whatever you think about the Wonderstuff, you must admit that they haven’t done the copout thing and simply emulated whatever mood the Poppies are in, The new Wonderstuff LP Xup displays that they are indeed a separate entity from PWEI. They’ve spiced up their basic

by Sandy Atwal Imprint staff Sire, why dost thou look so melancholy? A hh, page, the new /oe Strummer album is out. But sire, this should be a day of rejoicing and festivities! Let me call for the mutton and the ale! Nay, page, it shall not be so, for verily, the album sucks. Nay sire, it canSlot be so, for Strummer is from the Clash, a mighty band of fierce fighting men what changed the course of histopy! Aye, ‘tis so, but I say again, the album i-s just shitty. Speak not so loudly sire, lest the gods hear ye and smite thee down, I ctlre not, for I am a wise and powerful king and must beseech my citizens to heed my advice and not buy this album. Strummer has insulted his listeners, he has profaned their ears, and tried to fuse jazz and existential lyrics, the result of which is sheep’s droppings. He believes that he is some type of beat poet, he makes references to Charlie Parker. Sire, is there no redeeming feature on the album? Nay, I fear not, for the album’s first track Gangsterville is an alI-time low for Strummer, and the rest of the album goes downhill from there. The lyrics are supposed to invoke thought, yet they invoke only sleep. They are a cross bet ween James Joyce and Mother Goose, truly offensive. Alas, sire, this portends ill for our country, J fear for our crops. As do I. It is indeed o sad day in the kingdom, scorned.

but their stance is difficult to ascertain; it’s tough to distill sincerity from the bored whineof their singing and their hip cynicism (showing them to be heirs of David Letterman). It’s impossible to tell if such songs are touching and largehearted or just glib and callous, especially when they sing in mock sentimental voices on Bside of Life. about buying dinner ’ at the 7-11 and eating it in front of the TV.

The Bad Brains are back! Vocalist HR has reunited with his bandmates after a couple of.solo years and the original masters of rasta-core, unlike most mainstream rock reunions, still have something valid, if not incredibly new, to offer. Producer Ron St. Germain has once again helped Bad Brains make a killer album with exceptional sound quality, perhaps even bettering the Brains’ last studio effort I A ainst I. While that LP was ten i!ered around a few standout tracks, Quickness is uniformly strong. The beauty of this record lies in the band’s ability to simultaneously sound restrained and monstrous. Having expected a deeper exploration of their reggae, funk, and soul influences on this record [and indeed there is some), I was [pleasantly) surprised to be bombarded with the power rock material that predominates here.
Profit’s eye? Dr. Know’s deadly accurate axemanship shines as usual, as it interplays wonderfully with the potent and precise rhythm section. All the while, HR sings, gro.ans, and shouts spiritually
In the church of the poison mlnd motivated praises to Jah. These four form a unique combination that, while treading on familiar ground here, still manages to send shivers up and down my spine. On Voyage of Infinity the familiar chord structure of I Against I’s Intro is fleshed out into a full length powerhouse. Gene Machine, Meanwhile, Don’t Blow Bubbles, and Sheba thrash with all the intensity of the band’s Rock for Light days. But with all their heavy energy the Brains can still create a shimm&ring reggae song in Prophet’s EjW. it would be wrong to predict that this record will change anyone’s life. Quickness, for the , most part, -builds on familiar
foundations and, thus, is likely a “for fans only" affair. But, in the case of Bad Brains, familiarity breeds admiration rather than contempt.

H:IP-MAP 1 , No doubt about it, your best bet tonight is at the godawful Apocalypse club in Toronto. SST band Run Westy Run are touring in support of their latest [great) LP and their rockin’ sound promises to translate very well live. If I hadn’t sworn never to see another show at the Apocalypse, I’d consider going myself. If you’re in a cultured mood, you can catch the drama department’s presentation of Twelfth Night at the Modern Languages Theatre, 8:00 p.m. The play will also be appearing tomorrow night. Tomorrow night, Winnipeg band Monuments Galore are at the Bombshelter. They’re touring in support of their major-label debut, which was produced by Southern guru Mitch Easter. . For all you skinheads and ska lovers out there, the.MorthAmerican Ska Party appears at Toronto’s Concert Hall on Supday, November 26. The Toasters and the Hopping Penguins will be on hand, among others. Well folks, what with the end-of-term crunch upon us, you should really all be studying and working hard. So it’s probably just as well that there’s nothing too hip going down for the rest of the week. I will mention 10,000 Maniacs at the O’Keefe Centre on Tuesday, November 28. But don’t go expecting Peace Train; after Cat Stevens backed the Ayatollah’s death threat on Salman Rushdie, Natalie Merchant declared “I have no intention of playing that song ever again”. It’s a little hard to be impressed by Merchant’s integrity when it’s painfully obvious that the only reason she recorded Peace Train in the first place was,in a bid for some airplay. Oh well . , . Urn, let’s see . . . Kid Crible-& the Coconuts are at RPM on Tuesday the ZBth, and at Superstars on the 29th. Also on Wednesday the 29th+ the Phantoms are making a rare local appearance at Guelph’s Trasheteria. Over at the Princess Cinema, you can catch the Animation Celebration till next Sunday. And next week, from Monday the 27th through Thursday the 30th, you can catch a live action play, Pass the Butler, written by none other than Monty Python genius Eric Idle. It starts at 6130on the Tuesday, 7:~ on the other days. Should be -funny. Uh, well.. . in the future, watch for The Alarm, The Deja Voodoo Barbecue, and of course the ever-present Rolling Stones appearance at the SkyDome in early December. That’s it, that’s all, I’m gone,/ laughter) But Kloves gives the old formula a stiff shot of melancholy and pours it into a tragic mold. You may leave feeling dissatisfied that cherubs did not sing at
the wedding of Jack and Susie, but The Fabulous Baker Boys shows something more valuable - the masks worn by the cowardly, the lonely and the desperate.

TUFFER THAN THE REST Knight best coach, Chen best defensive back in CIAU Yo recruit wants to play for a team that is; always O-7. So, with a winning season bfnind them now, the Warriol+s will benefit from a greater interest in the Waterloo football program by grade 13 players who are trying to select a university to go to and play for. “We are received now with a little bit more respect.

by Rich Nichol Imprint staff It was a fitting end to a great season. Any coach of the year award is not only decided on a team’s success, but also on the team’s improvement compared to the rest of the league. In CIAU football there was no person more deserving of the CIAU Coach of the Year Award than Waterloo skipper Dave “Tuffy” Knight. At the CIAU awards2banquet, a part of the Vanier Cup festivities in Toronto, Knight collected his hardware and Waterloo defensive back Richard Chen was named a first-team CIAU all-star for being among the best in Canada at his position. Knight brought a crumbling football program that was 0-30 in just under five seasons, to 4-3 in 1989 league play. It is incredible to see what one man’s influence will make on a team that has been kicked around by the critics since the fall of 1984. L When asked how he felt about receiving the award after such a comeback season, Knight said, “We were really pleased and I am very gratified -about winning this award. It definitely capped off a great season. But it was a coaching staff award. Football is a lot more complicated
A team effort’with coaching staff of Chuck McMann, Ed ~3Bajon, Mike Sitko, Chris 3 Piantafilou, Brad Winter. . than other sports and needs more coaching specialization.

We thou@ of the playoffs as our goal from last year and were very satisfied to accomplish it. It would have been nice to win it all but this is a start.” Knigh’t, the second winningest coach in CIAiJ history with a 108-51-4 record, has received the CIAU Coach of the Year Award on two previous occasions as head coach of the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks, Was this one the best yet? I “I think that this might be the most satisfying of the three because of where we came from at the beginning of the
season. The fact that we came from O-33 to win our last four league games and make the playoffs is very gratifying.” Knight has already got a head start on preparations for nextseason. The co&ing staff has looked at potential recruits from 50-60 different high schools in Ontario. At this time last year, they had only looked at approximately 35 high schools. “We’ve seen some high schools play and now we have to visit the schools. The third step is to get the players to come here to the university for a visit. Our coaching staff is right where we want to be in our recruiting, way ahead of last year’s schedule. Hopefully we will be able to repeat the huge success of our visits to the schools last year.”
round season with an O-7 behind us. The kids hesitated when we made promises like that;so now we don’t have to worry about that anymore. It makes the recruiting process a little easier,” Knight says, When asked what’s in store for the future of Tuffy Knight, he replied jokingly, “Well I think I’m going to go with the Cleveland Browns coaching staff next season. No, seriously, I am settled here now and I have a feel for the school and its academic and athletic programs. The longer you are here, the better you will be to explain the university programs to the recruits and hopefully increase interest.” “Tnis has to be one of the highlights of my football career,” said Chen regarding his first-team All-Canadian recognition. !‘But like coach Knight said, this was a team effort and there, were 50 other AllCanadians on the team this year.” Teammate Paul Kilby remarked, “Richie is a great assetlto the team. Even though he is an individual all-star, he is probably the best “team” player I have ever seen here in Waterloo football.”

What does the Warrior fosward line of Tony Crisp, John Goodman, and Jamie Maki have in common with the former,Edmonton Oiler trio Gretzky, Kurri, and Tikkanen? Quite a lot, if you ask Warrior head coach Don McKee. “They’re such an explosive unit,” said McKee. “That line has a lot of experience in this leagtie. You’ve got Goodman with five years, Maki with four years and Crisp with two years.” McKee then compared the impact of the line to that of the Edmonton line. Crisp, Goodman and Maki certainly dominated hockey action last weekend, being a part of 11 out of 13 Warrior goals. In the process, Waterloo routed the Ryerson Rams 9-4 last Friday night
in Toronto and then came back to double the Toronto Varsity Blues 4-2 at the Columbia Icefield on Sunday afternoon. At the beginning of the season, Crisp talked about his two linemates. “Jamie is one of the toughest guys in the league and
,he’s starting to get a rkputation an4 guys are staying away from him,” artid Crisp, “and John , , , they just can’t catch him. So I can give John the puck and you know k’s going to get it down the ice. Sd we’ve been wqrking well together.” Crisp no longer has to worry about the line working well, Ag’&inst Ryerson, Crisp collected five goals - doubling his goal scoring output to ten on the season - and added three assists, a new UW points per game record. On this night, it seemed Ryerson had just as good a chance of stopping Crisp with or without a goalie. Crisp used his mastery of the quick release snap shot to elude goalie Mark Murray. The Ryerson goaltender tended to go down on the pray too quickly and his slow lateral movement allowed Crisp to find the openings with little difficulty. Jamie Maki scored his first two goals of the year, both power play markers, to put Waterloo out in front 2-O after lo:49 of Play* The Warriors had staked out a
‘5-1 lead midway through the game when defensive errors permitted Ryerson to get back within striking distance. Ryerson forward Mark Cascagnette intercepted a pass from Ian Pound right in front of the Warrior net, and he slotted it between the pads of goaltender Mike Bishop. The Rams added another shorthanded goal just 28 seconds later and closed the gap
to 5-3.
But after that, it was all Warriors. Crisp popped in three more and also set up Maki for his third goal of the evening. Pound was the other Waterloo goal scorer. The Warriors outshot the Rams 43-22.
On Sunday afternoon at the Columbia Icefield, the Warriors offered more exciting action and
were able to stay ahead of the Toronto Varsity Blues, clinching
the game 4-2. At 294 of the first period, Landry Smith centred the puck to John Dietrich w.ho cruised through the slot all alone and scored on Blues goaltender Paul Henriques, John Goodman came in close

The Warrior basketball team raised its pre-season record to g-2 with two victories, and the tournament crown at St. John Fisher College in Rochester, N.Y, this past weekend. Waterloo defeated the host Cardinals 76-70 in the final, after trailing 37-31 at the half.
In their first round game, the Warriors tipped the hardwood in a big wag as they ripped St, losgph, a small NCAA division III school from Vermont, 118-61. Their performance must have opened some eyes at CIAU headquarters, as this week’s national rankings include Waterloo for the first time in this pre-season. The fourth team in the CardinalMony Tournament was Webster College from New Hampshire. This was Waterloo’s third appearance in the event, and their first gold. The Warriors were again--led by tournament MVP guard Chris Troyak (39 points, .five rebounds], along with all-stars Andy Zienchuk (48 points, nine rebounds) and Ron Braley (25 points, 12 rebounds). “Sometimes it’s hard, after the hype in the Naismith, to g& going again,” said head coach Don McCrae. “Defeating an I American team in its own gym, on its own floor, is a feat.” This observation was borne out by the stats of the championship game, in which only seven members of the Warrior roster
first-round rout. In that semi-final game, the St. Joseph squad was “really shorthanded,” as six Warriors scored in double digits and St, Joseph committed 23 turnovers, to Waterloo’s 13. Top-scorihg Warrior Zienchuk launched 17 field goal attempts, making eight of them, and was l-for-3 from the* far side of the three-point line for a total of 20 points. He also hauled down seven rebounds.

Then came the St. John Fisher Cardinals, semi-final winner over Webster College, in the championship game. Waterloo was down 37-31 at the half, but proved to have “much better focus at both ends of floor, offensively and defensively” in the second-frame, according to coach McCrae. “The post-Naismith blues were overcome in that half.” Waterloo again proved to be ice in the closing minutes as they sank six cdnsecutive free throws in the last two minutes, two each by Troyak, Zienchuk, and Telford. ’ As usual, Troyak and Zien-chuk were the main workhouses, each clocking 36 minutes.

Athenas by Rich Nichol Imprint staff At the beginning of pre-season play,, the Athena basketball team looked to be in its best condition in three years, with five returning stars and eight highly talented rookies. But injuries are starting to plague the improved Athenas, much the same way last year’s squad suffered. During a game against the York Raiders last Friday, rookie starting guard Kathy Wordham twisted her knee on a collision with an opponent while driving through the paint in the dying seconds of the first half, Wordham has had knee problems before and “heard a crack” when
she hit the floor this time round. After an operation and tests on Thursday, it was confirmed that a partial knee fracture and torn ligaments will keep Wordhamon the sidelines for the rest of the season, a great loss to the Ath& nas. Luckily, some other injuries from earlier in the year are now gone. Sniper centre Leah Ann Erickson had b&en sidelined in recent games with fluid buildup in the knee and is back in the starting lineup, Meanwhile, the broken bone in the foot of rookie guard Paula Bishop is now healed and her return should add some quickness at the perimeter. Without the two starters Erickson and Wordham, the Athenas, limped through two weekend losses. The Athenas suffered through ‘a cakewalk courtesy of the York Raiders on

In the season opener, the Athenas still missed the anchored offence of Wordham and lost to Brock in a second half sleeper, 71-54. Details of the latter game will be published in next week’s issue.

When the Athenas did get the ball into the front court, they began throwing up bricks as York outsc.ored the Athenas 16-2 in the next nine minutes, Waterloo continued to show unorganized offence to halftime, slipping behind 32-17. The Athenas had problems draining baskets again in the second half, falling further behind, despite several timeouts by Dal Cin. Waterloo did not press the big ghooters at the perimeter, allowing St. F.X. to -drain five treys. At the final buzzer, the XWomen won 68-45. This time round, Waterloo gave up less turnovers and canned a much improved 49 per cent from the field and 70 per cent on free throws. But St.F.X. killed the Athena8 on boards, outrebounding UW 34-23 (15-7 on offensive rebounds]. St. F.X. guard Paula Doncaster led all scorers with 21 points, in~eluding three treys on seven attempts. Rookie Athena Sara Bradley added to her fine preseason totals, going 7-for-12 from the field and potting both of her free throw for 16 points.

More Pla&ue.victims. by Carol Dougen Imprint staff When the coach says “Who are I they?” you ’ would expect the team to be in trouble, and that is the feeling the volleyballers gave us on Tuesday as they met the Guelph Gryphons at the U of G. The Warriors gave the minuscule crowd a thrill as they got off; to a rough start. The teani’s anaemic appearance was made more apparent by the well-psyched Gryphons. Fortunately, Waterloo is stacked with extremely talented players. They didn’t play to their full potential, but still managed to capture the first game from Guelph 15-g.

Atherias. play’ some American by Diane Grady -. -* The Athena squash team travelled down to Dartmouth University in Hanover, New Hampshire to play in the CanAm tournament..Waterloo, along with York and McGill, competed in this hardball tournament against the American universities of Dartmouth, Williams, and Vassar. Hardball is the American game of squash, and as you might guess, the ball is hard as opposed to the soft ball used here. After spending one practice hour with.the hardball on Thursday, the Athenas were ready. _McGill was the first team encountered, with Waterloo winning four of the five matches. Louise Waite, playing the
number one position, won Waterloo’s only match against Dart-
mouth, the tournament’s eventual winner. Then came wins against York 5-0, Vassar 4-1, and Williams 4-1. The girls left Waterloo at 8 a.m. Friday and travelled through a snow storm to finally arrive in Hanover 12 hours later. Three rounds of the tournament were played Saturday, followed by a banquet. On Sunday, they played the last two rounds and, after a quick lunch and awards presentation, the Athenas were back in the van hhading home. Louise Waite came up against strong opposition, losing to the McGill and Vassar number one players. She handed Dartmouth one of their only losses of the tournament with a 3-2 decision+
Diane Lee playing second had wins against York, McGill, and Williams. Diane is looking forward to the softball part of the tournament next year at York. Playing third is the captain, Liana. Cooper. She had a very good tournament with four wins and-one loss. Lianti played consistently in the match agaihst Dartmouth, but was unable to
