ding “we need love like Natalie showed.” In another tribute to the victims of the massacre, Jennifer Armstrong, a UW engineer on a work term at the time, asked women engineers across Canada to wear white scarves on Monday, December 11. “Female engineers are experiencing a special kind of grief that this man sought out female engineering students.” Students on campus after the Montreal massacre may have noticed that the flags at the main entrance were not flying at half mast. John Mason, President of Imprint Board of Governors, circulated a petition asking that flags be lowered for tragedies which affect students. The petition, bearing 400 signatures, was presented to the Federation of Students. Fran Wdowczyk, Federation of Students Vice President University Affairs explained that the Feds have proposed that the Federation of Students and Graduate Student Association should have input when deciding when the flags should be lowered if Ihe relevant event concerns students. Current I y, the administration decides on the flags, and the present policy states that flags be at half-mast for incidents involving UW students only,., The proposal and the petition have been submitted to the SCUdent Relations Board and Wdowczyk indicated that the head of the board, Dr. George, seemed quite interested in the proposal. The Federation of Students will know if the proposal has passed by mid-January.

Still no h-ape for VIA rail ‘4 by Henrietta Veerman Imprint staff

The future of VIA rail continues to look grim. The federal government and transport minister Benoit Bouchard have not relented in their policy to cut rail service in half on January 15. The VIA cuts contradict the 1981 and 1984 campaign promises made by the Conservative _ Dartv to preserve and enhance passenge; rail service. One significant breakthrough in the fiiht to stop the cuts ckcurred last week in British Columbia. The B.C. Supreme Court ruled the federal government is constitutionally oblik.ated to continue rail service between Esquimalt and Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. VIA North-Mainline Committee member Mary Pappert sees hope for future legal action to stop the cuts. According to Pappert, mayors from various cities across

Brian Mulroney established a Royal Commission to study the long-term transportation needs of Canadians, and prepare a plan. The date the Royal Commission will conclude is unknown. In the meantime, the government has made no signs of setting up alternate transportation for Canadians dependent upon rail. In 1988, 2,4lO+OOOCanadians rode the train. These two and a half million Canadians+ which

includes many university and college students, will now, be hopping a plane, bus, or driving. Increased fuel use and ernissions are the biggest environmental concerns, but in an analysis released by the Prime Minister’s Office, it was stated that environmental change would be negligible I As an example, the analysis stated that VIA services have low load factors, and as a result have poor fuel efficiency. The example of regional and traris-

Continental routes, with locomotives pulling only a ‘few passengers, was given. Much of VIA’s equipment, including these locomotives, is very old, and cannot be expected to turn a profit, aTransport 2000 study revealed. Buses’, the analysis concluded, are the most energy efficient mode of transportation for Canada. The same analysis stated that of those 2,41O,OOOVIA riders, 152,000 would now take the bus,

and 2,021,OOOwould now drive. It was estimated that there would be two people per car, so only one extra million cars would be on road, with only a small increase in fuel consumption and emissiok A source for the two-people per car estimate was not given.

VIA worms, Continued from page 3 back protest on December 6, 1989 at the Kitchener VIA station. Although only 300 peopIe showed up, Pappert was not displeased, given the bitter cold. As well, few university students attended because of exams. Pappert, also an executive member on the Consumer’s Association of Canada for Ontario, said events staged included a casket, for the doomed VIA rail service, and trumpeters playing a dirge. Fran Wdowczyk, Federation vice-president (university affairs) says they have nothing planned in the immediate future, although she invites anyone with suggestions to get in touch with her. Wdowczyk said there may be a number of rallies in around Valentine’s February, Day, but no dates have been set yet. The VIA story may be opening

a squiggly can of worms. Jo Davis, of the Turnaround Decade Group, is publishing a’ book that will unveil what she terms “a VIA-gate.” Entitled Not A Sentimental Journey, the book will be released January 14, the last day on which VIA Rail will operate on schedule. An upcoming issue of Imprint will examine in some detail the findings of Davis’ book. The December 12 issue of Toronto Star ran the printed agenda of a key VIA rail meeting, entitled “A Time for Action.” Objectives included a plan to “neutralize” all critics cf cutbacks, including transport ministers, city mayors, premiers, Transport 2000 and VIA rail employees. VIA managers were to promote loyalty among employees to support the government’s decision. The agenda did not enlarge on how other critics would be-neutralized.

NDP leader Bob Rae

1 by

Michael H, Clifton and Judy Hollands Imprint staff

“Capitalism or socialism: which is the moral system?” will be the topic of the day next Wednesday, January 10 as Dr. John Ridpath of York University and Bob Rae, leader of Ontario’s official opposition debate right here at UW in the Hum^anities Theatre at 7:30 p.m. John Ridpath told Imprint that in light of the events in Eastern Europe in 1989, asking what kind of social structure is suitable for humankind should be on evBryone’s mind, He emphasized that free-enterprise and private ownership versus a socialistic, state-centered economy, is central to that dilemma. In the upcoming debate, Dr. Ridpath plans to present a case for a free-enterprise system. Specifically, he favors the views of objectivist philosopher, Ayn Rand, famous for her novels and texts, such as The Fountainhead and The Virtue of Sel’fishness. Rand’s views are considered radical capitalism, rejecting most of the methods we presently use to direct the affairs of

Dr. John Ridpath society. In her works she questioned modern morality and ethics. She proposed’ta prove, to her satisfaction at least, that immorality and selfish desires are behind the majority of modern economic and political theories. Bob Rae has a reputation as passionate debater and was in high demand during the last federal election, effectively debating free trade advocates at universities across the province, including Wifrid Laurier. He will a&x the New Democratic Party point of view, proposing ethat social democracy is the moral system. Rae received a BA and a law degree from the University of Toronto; from there he went to Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship where he graduated with a degree, in polit its. He was first elected to the House of Commons in 1978 as a member of the New Democratic Party. He continued to serve, through 1979 and ‘80 as housing and finance critic. In 1982 he became the leader of the New Democrats in Ontario, and was elected to the provincial legislature later that year, Rae’s understanding of com-

munity and worker needs comes from his previous involvement in a housing and legal aid clinic in London, England. His legal experience is in labour law, and he has worked for the United Steelworkers of America in Toronto. John Ridpath began his education, at the University of Toronto, where he received an undergraduate degree in engineering and business, and a master’s degree in business administration. He later received a PhD in economics fram the University of Virginia. While at Virginia, he had an opportunity to hear a lecture given by Ayn Rand, the founder of objectivist philosophy, and later he, along with other graduate students, were invited to talk with her about her vision of society. Since that time, Dr. Ridpath has taken part in numerous debates at the universities of Toronto, Harvard, Yale, Simon Fraser, and UCLA, amongst others, defending Rand’s views. He is presently an instructor at York University in Torbnto, teaching economics and intellectual history.

Ode to Ollie Ramone-by Justin Web Wendy facan, Matt Horyn, and Ingrid Payer

- September 4,1988 - just another day? Maybe for other universities, but not Ear UW. That was the day Oliver Davies arrived in Waterloo, and the town has never be the same.

So what sort of person is this Oliver Davies? A “low down cheap little punk?”You got that right. The kind of &on who memo&es the entire .

Oliver arrived at Village Two, East A, Room 224 in the early hours of the afternoon with his hair down, a collared shirt, a pair of white dress pants, and his shoes (a one and only opportunity to see him thus attired). After saying farewell to his family, he disappeared into his room and shortly thereafter emerged the Oldiewe all know. I guess it’s not particularly unusual for a student to let his hair down after leaving home, but Olie was different - he put his ha@up. Radical rockabilly style.

scrbt of the Rockv Horror Picture Shdw? Right dow&o the last role of toilet paper? Yup- And then wins prizes for the best Rocky Horror dress-up costume contest without wen d&sing up? Yup. And the sort that makes Rocky Horror more fun than your wildest dreams? Righty right. How about vices?Well - Ollie had three big ones: arcades, music, and people. Most of all people. Did Ollie waste a lot of money in the arcade? Not a chance, the Great Ollie Davies zapped aliens at a rate of 45 minutes per quarter: unbeatable. Well then, did he throw his m&y away on music.7 Damn right. Oh more albums than you could ever imagine: from Black Flag, Zen Slap, Sonic Youth and Flipper through to Blondie, Madonna, and the everidolized Ramones.

Ollie played the drums too. He played in a few bands, the latest being Neanderthal Sponge. Yep, Ollie lotied music (not that yoti’d have noticed if you knew him). Then _there’s those people who could never get like enough of him. When Ollie didn’t eat right they would say , “fo=et v that noise’and run right out to buy him groceries. Good as they may have been, none were ever as good a friend as Oliver. it seems making his friends happy was his single biggest addiction. Wendy speaks: “Oldie was a nice guy; The nicest. I don’t think he could hate anyone, even me (for any significant amount of time). The first thing I noticed about him, besides his shyn&s, was his dark penetrating eyes. They could be s6 absorbing kd tkoughtfu! at times. Most would think he looked silly - he did - but in a wonderful way. Maybe he did it to make people smile.

“That was Ollie, you could tell he really cared about people. He talked a lot, about music mostly, but he also listened. He was the type of person, if you knew him somewhat, you cared what he thought. Though I knew him for only a few months, I cared about him as if I knew him for years. That was him, OHie.” Not much would stop Ollie from being with his friends: from his totally opposite roommates, to his trusty faithful sidekick (you know who you are). Not even the formality of having to he 19 to get into bars could stop the under-aged Ollie. He would just sit on the front steps of his favorite bar white his friends partied downstairs. Eventually the management built a coat-check and created work so they could hire Ollie and let him in. So OtIie liked music and he liked people. Just what do you do when you like music and people? You throw a party. In Ollie’s case,it had to be a Ramones party - and three of them, each one better than the last. These social events had al) the ingredients of a great party! there was “Noisy Ramone” (the stereo), “Fridgey Ramone” (fhe beverage cooler), “WalIy Ramone” (the four walls tinclosing the happening event), and so on.

Oliver Davies 1970 - 1989

Speaking of bars and bands, Ollie used to put on Amnesty International benefits in Ottawa. Amnesty was his favorite cause, and the concerts he organized for them were great successes.Recently Amnesty mentioned Oliver at a vigil at the eternal flame, outside the Parliament buildings, and held a moment of silence in his honour.

Death a mystery * by Judy Hohids Imprint staff

Early in the morning on December 8, 1989, Oliver Davies, a 19 year-old Uw chemistry student was rushed to the K-W Hospital where he later died of undetermined causes. Oliver was studying for a final exam with friends in the Campus Centre’s smoking room when, at approximately 4:30 a.m., his breathing suddenly became shallow and he appeared to lose consciousness.The turnkey oh duty, Al Revesz immediately contacted the UW Police, who called an ambulance. Oliver’s breathing stopped as the ambulance arrived, and he was ( revived and rushed to the K-W Hospital. At the hospital, his heart stopped and could not be revived again. He passed away at 5:55 a.m. An autopsy did not reveal the cause of death and more extensive forensic test results will take six to eight weeks. Active in the Waterloo community, Oliver was an Imprint writer, CKMS dj, and worked at Phil’s Grandson’s Place,He was also a dedicated mernber of Amnesty International and a drummer in two Ottawa area bands. A wake for Oliver, held al Phil’s on December 14, was attended by friends and familyfrom asfar away as Germany.

The funeral was held in Ottawa where Oliver% famtiy r&k, and a group of 20 Waterloo friends made it there to pay the* last respects.

She felt only further forensic tests will explain what hap pened to Oliver that night. Oliver’s friends would like to thank Marshall Gavin of the UW Police for his support.

The supercontinent

Laurentia

Precambrian

Folded layers of rock near Coronation emcontinents”.

by Lmraine Brown Canadian Science News A scientist with the Geological Survey of Canada in Ottawa has discovered that North America is made up of seven microcontinents that had come together as pieces of a supercontinent, called Lauren@ about 1.85 billion years ago. Dr. Paul Hoffman has beee compiling a geological history of North America’s first billion years, based on new techniques that allow very ancient rocks to be accurately dated. At the seams where the microcontinents are welded together, there are rocks that crystallized at the time of the collisions. These rocks have now been dated, using a new method which involves analyzing the radioactive uranium and its “daughter” products in the mineral zircon. Uranium acts like a clock that begins ticking when the rock first

crystallizes. Before the new zircon dating method, geologists could reliably determine the exact age of rocks only by studying the fossils in them. Fossils make their first appearance during the Cambrian era, which began about 500 million years ago. The age and history of the ancient rocks of the PreCambrian, which formed about 2.5 billion years ago, have remained a mystery. Hoffman estimatesthat at leastfour supercontinents ( pre@ed I North America between 2.5 billion and 250 million years ago?The last one, Pangea, had a fossil record that allowed scientists to piece its history together. At present, the continents are breaking up and moving together again, to form another supercontinent, this time in the area of Eurasia. Hoffman says the Americas will get there last, in about 100 million years.

math and engineering

North AmericaHoffman has been able to determine that the microcontinents that formed Laurentia came together over a period of about 150 million years. Laurentia included much of what are now Greenland and Northern Europe, as we.11as the interior of North America. Convection currents in the earth’s mantle - the layer of molten rocks just below the crust in the earth’s interior - drew massesof the crust together above an area of downwelling, where crustal material was pulled down into the mantle. Hoffman theorizes that as it formed, the new supercontinent insulated the underlying mantle, causing it to heat up. From 1.5 to 1.3 billion yea-rs ago, the heat made Laurentia’s crust melt, producing the igneous granite and rhyolite rocks that run from Southern California-to Labrador. Until now, scientistshave had trouble explaining the source of the heat. Hoffman’s supercontinent theory neatly fills that gap in geological knowledge, but it still needs to be tested further, he points out. The best test will be to apply the-new dating methods to other continents to see whether their origins and the origins of Laurentia’s rocks synchronize. Studies of Australian rocks show that they have similar geological records. There are periods of collision, and periods of melting without collision. ‘“They may have similar histories because they were together during the periods of supercontinents,” says Hoffman. “Not only . North America formed a supercontinent. Most of the other continents a&o came together to form supercontinents, then broke up.” The more regent geolo$ca.I history of North America is described by Hoffman as “bump and grind” tectonics. It is characterized by collisions and shearing behveen the North

American plate and other plates to form the Rockies and the Appalachian mountains. How the stable inteiior of the continent formed in the first place is now just emerging. Hotian’s research into North

America’s Precambrian history is part of a major research effort called the Decade of North American Geology. It was instituted by the Geological Society of America to celebrate its 100th anniversary.

Starting the healing

The vast majority of people grieved the actions of Marc Lepine, women and men alike. Yet some women decided that he represented men’s anger against women. This assertion grossly oversimplifies the whole gender issue, To say that men hate women is to treat a particular man’s anger with a particular woman the same as Lepine’s irrational anger with women as a whole. This generalization makes me angry, I’m angry at those few women who find it easier to point fingers than to put forth a constructive plan to rectify centuries of sexual discrimination and abuse. This does not mean I hate women or feminists; I do not always agree with what they have to say. This recent onslaught of anti-male rhetoric only alienates men and women creating more misunderstandings between the genders. There is the unfortunate belief that slander and bigotry against men is the same as criticism. I don’t want to trivialize the very real issues that women have concerning their role in society, but it is difficult to take anyone seriously whose idea of equality is to transform a male-dominated society with a female- dominated one. Fortunately, not all feminists think this way, and anyone who is hostile towards feminists needs to realize that feminism covers a very wide spectrum: not alI feminists think alike. Instead of hating men, these radical feminists ought to take a broader focus. Granted, there are inequities in our society, but the reality is that it is made up of men and women. Solutions between the genders will only be found by taking the needs of both groups into account. As a male I try to be sensitive to the societal needs of women. I sometimes fail, but I still try. I cannot take away the years of abuse, nor do I care to accept the responsibility for someone else’s actions. Lepine is not an extension of my conscienceness or anyone else’s, except for his father who reportedly abused him as a child. As a member of our society I am concerned about the polarization along gender lines. The healing of deep wounds of abuse will never come about through hatred. Men may be the problem, but wetare also part of the solution. Only a few women hate m&n, but they have a loud voice. Hatred begets hatred; this vicious circle needs to be broken. Men and women need to become friends before the healing can begin. Michael Salovaara

Tragic education I am here to fight against ferninism, that is why I am here. With these words, Marc Lepine began his infamous slaughter of 14 women with another 12 wounded at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal on Wednesday, December 6, 1989. Several issues arise out of this tragedy - the level of violence in society (Lepine we are told, liked to wear army fatigues and enjayed war movies), mass murder psychology and the need for gun cant rol. But the real issue of violence against women because they are wumen, was quickly picked up by ordinary people across the nation.

Though he still had bullets left, ,one of his victims was stabbed to death with a hunting knife. Andre Tessier, head of the Montreal police force’s Organ,ized Crime Squad said: “Why did he use a knife in this case? It seems he,was crazy with rage, determined to kill any way he could.” To say the assailant was “just crazy” is a comfortable and selfdeceptive way of distancing ourselves not only from such terrible violence, but from any need to look closely at the wider -implications. As women rise out of their traditional roles, and this fundamental change gradually alters the established patterns sf the past, some men feel threatened and strike back. Herbert Pascoe, a forensic ipsychiatrist at Alberta Hospital is quoted as saying: “Many, many men feel inadequate and inferior in their relations to the opposite sex. And this can show up in some very unpleasant activities.” This terrible tragedy has been the subject of discussion with several friends, revealing both positive and negative responses to’ the killings. The negative side f discovered was among the group I would have least expected - women.

concern this event would be divisive in the continuing struggle for the two sexes to understand each other. She pointed to the vigil held in Thunder Bay the weekend after the massacre, where men were asked to stay away, “because” the organizers said “of the depth of emotional scarring among women who have experienced male violence,

they need to be alone.” There are a great many men both aware of and joined in the struggle to end all forms of violence against -women in society, “Did men in Thunder Bay have nothing to mourn about?“, my friend asked, The worst enemy of every movement are the “separatists” in its midst, calling to separate themselves from the mainstream. Separatists within the women’s movement have with this, and other actions, done great harm at a time when coming together is vital. The positive response 1 have found among most women and many men, seeing the context this incident occurred in, and becoming more aware and sensitive to things once not noticed or ignored. I talked about this event with a male friend, with whom I have enjoyed a longstanding d.isagreement on the subject of feminism in general. I am a male feminist, he is not. He has expressed a great deal of satisfaction at several incidents last term on campus where feminist concerns (Homecoming posters, and the term “manhole” being labeled sexist) have received much criticism. But after December 6,1989, he fell silent. He didn’t try to claim this an isolated incident in no way relating to society in general. Admitting to me he had done a great deal of hard thinking, he is now re-evaluating many things he has heard and dismissed in the past in the are& of “women’s concerns.” It’s my hope many more like him are now rethinking their position after such an unequivocal example of “misogyny” (hatred of women), and pause before accusing any using the term of “hysteria.” It is here we may find hope out of such despair, that my male friend represents growth in our society, having rested so long in traditional, simplistic, conservative stereotypes. Another friend twi> days after the tragedy made a sign for his truck which said, “This Man Loves Feminists!” Many signs of this possibility of social growth and a new

awareness and activism were apparent immediately following the massacre. On Sunday, December 10, the same day as the Thunder Bay vigil, outside the engineering building at the University of Toronto, the two year old group “Men Against Men’s Violence” held their own remembrance (women were invited and did attend] of the victims. Among them was Gordon Cleveland, a member of “Men for Women’s Choice.” He called for a Royal Commission to study violerice against women in Canada, saying the massacre “lifted the veil on oneiof society’s coilective secrets - widespread misogyny.” Elliott Leyton, an anthropologist at Memorial University in Newfoundland, and author of Hunting Humans, a study of serial killers and mass murderers, commented: “Whenever a social group rejects its subservience, as women everywhere have been doing, it threatens those in power, . . No catastrophe is unrelated to major changes in so. ciety.” It takes some sophistication to see beyond isolated incidents to underlying causes. I am proud of how quickly the general public in Canada have seen this act as having a very clear message to our society. Ten years ago, many men seemed to embrace feminism not only for the positive benefits it brought to women, but to men as well. Men after all, live with the inhuman “macho” legacy, sacrificing their feelings, spontaneity and creativity for the sake of power. As with all other progressive tendencies, such sentiments seem to have suffered a setback in the last decade, with the return of 1950s style neoconservatism. Ou‘t of such unspeakable tragedy, we can only hope to renew our evolution toward a more just society, no longer hiding behind cliches. We must mature enough to see how interconnected our social fabric is, how in any social, economic, or educationally disadvantaged group or minority, violence IS related to inequality. We have to stop pretending unpleasant realities don’t exist, but acknowledge and fight them. Not only in the social arena, but in ourselves. Lyn McGinnis

I am writing in reference to the December 1 letter, ‘Travel CUTS my ass!.”

The CUTS in Travel CUTS is written using capital letters and stands for Canadian Universities Travel Service. We are a non-profit travel agency owned by the Canadian Federation of Students and staffed by protravel trained fessionally counsellors. Although Travel CUTS is predominately a student oriented company, we also operate as a regular travel agency.This enablesus to offer students and non-students the best of both worlds. We have student fares for many destinations, some which are attractive simply due to their low cost,others becauseof their flexibility in comparison to regular fares.

As Travel CUTS only makes nine per cent on the ticket, and had discounted this to Mr. Brooks already, I can hon-

concerned about students’ dignity and self-esteem versus faculty members’? Sexual harassment, abuse of power and discrimination are not tolerable and are signs of a corrupt social system. In such a system anyone could become a victim. The least we should do is criticize constructively and reveal all forms of corruption that we confront.

Owls vs. Jabs They are postcard-perfwt forests filled with trees, “green Cathedrals” that can reach heights of 300 feet and diameters of six. Some of them are 1,000 years old. These old-growth forests are also home to a rare subspecie5 of owl, the northern spotted. As the trees are logged away, so is this owl’s future. It has been seen in the old-growth forests of Oregon, Washington, California, and recently British Columbia. Current data suggeststhat there might be as few as 100 owIs in that province. Although the spotted owl has seen its habitat reduced by logging it has yet to be declared a threatened or endangered species. Environmental groups are fighting to save the owl and its habitat, They have won court injunctions preventing the sale of approximately 1.5 billion board feet of timber in areasinhabited by the owl; federal agencies,worried about future lawsuits, have been reluctant to sell lumber from owl-inhabited forests not affected by the injunctions. In total, industry officials estimate that more than three biion board feet of timber has been withheld from the market this summer. They claim that this has cost the government at Ieast$200 million in taxes.As well, it hasforced sawmill owners to cut shifts and, in some cases,shut down for the season.Industry publications and pro-logging editorials estimate that between 20,000 and 80,000 jobs were lost and as many as 150,000 workers have been affected by the timber shortage. Since the spring, the spotted owl has been the subject of legal battles, political debates,and protest rallies at which local residents have drowned owls in effigy. hti-owl protests ranged from bumper stickers and t-shirts with sloganssuch asSavea Logger / Eatan Owl, and I Like Spotted Owls.. . Fried, to public marches and protests in logging communities. Lawsuits have been filed addressing the issue of how much Iand is necessaryfor the survival of the spotted owl. The forest service has proposed taking 374,000acresof national forest out of timber production. Adding wildemesg areas to that acreage,the service hopes 1,300 pairs of owls will be supported. For how long, no one knows. Groups in Washington, California, and Oregon have stood firm in their beliefs and just may have succeeded in sa@ng the spotted owl and its habitat, as welI as preserving some of the worlds “green CathedW. In Canada, however, our fight is just beginning. I .Consumers are not uninvolved ob%~rversof this struggle. The timber “shortage” reported by the industry is, after all, relative to consumer demand. The cumulative, effect of many private citizens reusing per, using recycled paper, and reducing their use of paper products coul r drastically reduce that demand, and hence that “shortage . The most effective protection of the otdgrowth forests’and their owl and other inhabitants would be the unprofitability of logging. Simple economics saysthat a decrease in demand will ‘force a decreasein supply. Such a reduction need not translate into lost jobs in the logging industry. Current job loss is the result of intense stratification of that industry. If locals could be responsible for and manage a specified area, money and jobs would stay in the areaand processing could be done close to or on site.Laws in Canada need to be changed to allow for sustainable small community logging with less expensive equipment.

Religion bad Dedes does it again To the editor, In the December 1 issue of Imprint, one letter caused a minor irritation in my cerebral cortex, and as a result spawned a few thoughts on re1igion in general, and Christianity in particu!ar. The letter was “Intruding on established Christianity: TM more than a. meditation technique.“ It innocently started our as a letter of concern regarding the issue of cults on campus and hinted the danger of Transcendental Meditation as a form of cult, and we all should be aware of it yak yak yak yak yak. . . Well that’s fine with me. What completely blew me out of the, water was yet another typical Chiistian self-righteous and pigignorant preaching messages that popped out like acne near the end of the letter. I am sure any semiinte1ligent being will become at least slightly irritated at such a grotesque display of self-centered hypocrisy. Why should our Christian brothers be a1lowedto establish themielves on campus as a religion while others labelled as “cults” (probably by our Christian brothers) cannot? I suppose some of you are labelling me as “Satah’s tool” already. Indeed, this has always been the problem every time we txy to talk some reason ,into the deep held .beliefs,It is amazing how a sentient being’s mind can and will be so completely surrendered to a fabricated entity, a man calling himself the reincarnation thereof, and a book. (If this doesn’t sound like a “cult,” I don’t know what does.)

why is it that every time you read letters from these people, they always have to backup their arguments with. God, Jesus Christ, and a few quotes from the Bible? Come on guys, can’t you take a stand for YOURSELVES for once? Can’t you bloody think for yourselves???Sheesh. Now it’s already bad enough that we are living in a vast network of bureaucracy and outrageously stupid rules that we inflict upon ourselves. It is already bad enough that people are dedicating their short lives around the monetary system like flies buzzing around a fresh heap of parrot droppings. It’s bad enough that we are sitting on a time bomb that’s ready to go off anytime and destroy ourselves a few hundred times . . . if the pollution doesn’t kill us first. It’s bad enough that the world is getting more and more ridiculous, stupid, and idiotic. Right now, we need self-righteous brain-washed zombies saying what’s good for us like we need another world war. It reatly does not concern me that you are wasting your lives away seeing the world behind a blinding curtain of faith. Just don’t come and tell me that God loves tie, and if I love him back, 111be granted eternal life ... but if 1 don’t, he will let me burn in Hell. She-h, what kind of crap is that?”It’s like saying “Oh darling I love you. . . but if you don’t love me, Ill put a bullet hole through your pretty head--So you better do what I say!” People today lack culture, so they tie up religion instead. Come on! For once in your life, wake up and see the world with your OWN eyes,and judge things with your OWN mind - maybe you’ll learn something new. But whatever you do, please don’t quote another phrase from that outrageously outdated book again.

End ti?mes nigh To the editor, Have we reached the point of no return? Today, we live in a violent, fearful world. We are afraid to eat this or to drink that; afraid to walk the streets or ride the subway, for fear of being robbed, raped or murdered. The rich have high electric fences, vicious dogs, or armed guards to patrol their estates. Other barricades their homes as best they can. More and more people are turning to drugs and/or alcohol to obtain a short respite from their unhappiness and despair. The Bible says:“Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in anguish; let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their rhisery no more.” Every so often we hear of yet another country that has erupted into civil war or are at war with their

neighbour - each faction wishing to dominate the other. South Africa, Pakistan, Afghanistan, El Salvador, the Gaza Strip (just to name a few), are illustrations of what is meant. Naturally (and rightly so), the citizens of each country wish to preserve their tradition, culture, and mother tongue. The Bible sayswe are to treat the alien within our gates (this means any country) with respect and justice (Leviticus Z9;33,34). It also saysthat the alien must obey the laws of that land (Leviticus 24:22). If this is not adhered to, it can cause conflict, resentment, endless demonstrations and confrontations. in spite of mans efforts to change our world into a law-abiding. Peaceful habitation, it cannot-beachieved until we follow (obey) the two greatest commandments which are written in the Bible (Matthew 22: 34-40). Gladys E. Barrett

He said Cl? “outlived its intended purpose.” I-low? Don’t people still have to mail letters? Isn’t that a post office’s purpose? Yet by converting CP into a profit-oriented company, the government has created two classesof customers: those who get home delivery, and those who don’t. There is also the distinction between those who can afford to pay for the “privilege” of quick delivery and those who have to wait.

pleas for peace and change sooner. Mr. Gorbachev was dutifully assured that Canada would not lag behind again. Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union have taken the impu!se of change, and in three short years successfully displaced the West as the most dynamic force in the world. Has the University of Waterloo fallen into the same lethargic trap as the West; desperately trying to maintain a now-defunct status quo? We think it has. Now is the time for the students of Waterloo to tear down the walls that inhibit us from true understanding of each other. Ban apathy. Stop hiding behind antisexist language. Reject macho and feminist rhetoric. Accept differences, but do it

For example, the fraternities should host a pafly with the Women’s Centre, the football team should invite the Computer Science Club to its end-of-sea&n banquet, and the Jewish and Muslim students associations should hold joint meetings.

Thesebarriers, like those ‘now torn down in Eastern Europe, can only succeedin stunting our perceptions and our values.

by Andrea Zypchen When Charles Babbage invented the calculating machine, the precursor to the modem computer, did he imagine that it would be used to monitor -the performance of 70 per cent of those working on networked computers in America? Was it anticipated that the birth of the sewing machine would aIlow the development of the “sweatshops” which exploit so much of the world’s labour? Undoubtedly, the inventors felt these technologies would liberate and seme people. Whose role in society is it to consider the eventual impacts of science and technology? Should we develop ways to safeguard the ethical use of technology? The rate of scientific and engineering advances has continued to skyrocket. At the same time, the increase in complexity and magnitude of these developments has made comprehension by a layperson difficult. In hh “Age of pervasive T&nolo& (as Ursula Franklin describes it), often it is solely the engineers and scientists who fully understand the potential impacts of their work. They have a responsibility to carefully discuss and ponder among themselves, and to create a forum with interested laypeople to discuss issues such as the social and environmental impacts of their researchand development. AS well, the scientific and engineering communities have a responsibility to discuss the ethical implications of their research.And laypeople have the responsibility to question developments, push for answers,and gain a

place in the decision making process. For scientists and engineers to fulfill this enhanced role, they would require skills such as those to summatie key t&hnical information in non-technical terms, and inquire into social impacts. Are these skills encouraged and learned in the university setting?They can be. As students learn about issues,they could question ‘their professors about them, and raise them as points of discussion in classes. One way to discuss and learn about the impamof shnce and technology on society is through Pugwash. our PharY goal is promote and encourage balanced discussion about thw issues among aII students. This cohm is one bum for opening discussion on such kws and any topic sug@stions would be appreciated.

Ontario’s

far north

Nibinamik - north of Superior by Cindy Long Special to imprint

“One of the most enduring misconceptions we have about our North is that it is all of a piece - or, at the most, of two pieces: a bleak expanse of frozen seaand a dreary wilderness of frozen forest and tundra. The truth is that the North displays as much variety as any other great natural realm on earth.” - Farley Mowat, Canada North NOW “How serious are you about wanting to work in an isolated community?” That question, posed by a prospective employer, marked the beginning of my Northern education. Like many Canadians, I had never considered the idea of working or living in the North. My idea of north was Sudbury. In late June, less than two weeks after that phone call, I was sitting in a jet plane headed for Thunder Bay.The interview was short and the job, if I still wanted it, was mine. Before I accepted, I was offered a chance to see the place I was proposing to call home for the next year of my life. Check your maps. Summer Beaver, or Nibinamilc, to use the Ojibway name, lies almost directly over Thunder Bay, approximately 470 kilometres north. It is near no other settlement (which is no accident) and appears to be smack in the middle of Northern Ontario. No roads or railways scar the landscape. To reach Summer Beaver,one must fly in a plane small enough to land on the lake.

We flew from Thunder Bay to Pickle take in a twin-engine Otter. From Pickle Lake, the last spot in Ontario to which an all-season road ventures, we chartered a small, threeseaterCessnato fly the last 200 or so kilometres to Summer Beaver. (When northerners refer to all-season roads, they mean ones accessiblein summer as well as winter. Only in titer, when the water is frozen, is it passible to drive a vehicle any distance. There are no cars in Summer Beaver.)

If you’re imagining endless green and blue, tq again. The lakes, some large, others tiny, display a wide variety of colours. Vmng shades of blue, brown, copper, yellow, green, even black. . athe shading depends on their depth and what lies beneath, as well as whether water is flowing in and our or whether they are stagnant (as many become i.n the drier months). The rivers wind like doodles, twisting and bending rarely straight for more than a few yards. Some appear broad and deep while others seem too narrow for even a canoe. This is the taiga, the broad stretch of mainly coniferous forest and lakes that runs northward to the treeline. From the air it appears flat, but actually it is marked by eskers, moraines and the accompanying ravines, remnants of the glaciers which once covered the province. Considered sub-arctic, this part of Ontario enjoys a warm summer, comparable to Waterloo. Further north, on the tundra, a sunny day in July can be uncomfortably hot, In Summer Beaver, the ice forms sometime in October and breaks up usually in May. The seasonsof spring and autumn are short. This year, summer seemedto extend well into October, then suddenly it was cold and snowing. Bush planes are the taxis of the north. People jump inand out of planes the way southerners hop on and off buses. Given the geography of the North, this comes as no surprise. The very first thought I had as we gained altitude after leaving Pickle Lake was that Ontario is mostly water! Indeed, the further north one goes, the more water appears until it seemsasif you are flying over a vast lake and river system dotted with land, rather than over huge forests containing lakes and rivers. 1 wanted to ask the pilot a number of questions concerning visible land forms, but a small plane is a noisy contraption, and shouting not my idea of conversation. - This part of Ontario, which seems so tar north from the perspective of Toronto, geographically lies at the southern boundary of what legitimately can be called Canada’s North. Summer Beaver has no caribou or muskox, but moose and beaver abound. Muskrats, wolverines, black bears and minks live in the forests and marshes along with many other common, small mammals. The lakes and rivers teem with pickerel, pike and whitefish. The raven dominates the sky, present even in the depths of titer. Partridge and many smaller, migrating birds inhabit the woods and clearings. Hunting, fishing and trapping are the occupations of choice for the natives of the region. Given the rich abundance of wildlife, I was surprised never to spot from the air so much as an antler. I was also surprised, in June, by the presence of several small forest fires we passed. Liiter in the summer, a few of these grew large enough to threaten a few major settlements in Northern Ontario including Summer Beaver, which had to evacuate its babies and elderly when the smoke became dangerously thick Fortunately, the longawaited rains came in the nick of time. The fires, fed on desert-dry timber and driven by winds, came as close as an island only a quick canoe paddle away.

In August, I returned to Summer Beaver to begin my job as a teacher, my computer experience apparently my passport. Again I experienced the thril1 of flying at low altitude over that magnificent land and the relief at finally seeing the village, clustered neatly on an earthy peninsula jutting into Lake Nibinamik. I was certain that here, far from Bay Street and the 401, I would find something important, something forgotten.

Once, they came came red as blood and the children, gathered to watch near the school, told me it meant someone would die. When the snow came and the lake had frozen for the winter, I donned cross-country ski and ventured out beyond one of the

The majesty of the North touched me immediately. The magic waited until late September when, on a clear, moonless night, a flash in the sky caught my eye as I pounded the keyboard in my cabin. A glance out the window sent me scurrying outside where I beheld for the first time the Northern Lights. p.m. and the show was in It was near 11:OO full swing. A band of dancing, vertical rays stretched from east to west across the northern half of the sky. Without warning, a ray would curve suddenly outward acrossthe night sky, swirling and swelling to dim the stars,only to shrink again and fade back to the parent arc. The Lights, which I’ve seen many times since (and not yet tired of) are usually white or greenish-white in colour. They might appear as faint glows on the northern horizon, or cover nearly the. entire sky in a breathtaking display defying description.

many points of land leading out from the village. The air was crisp and frozen, but there was barely a breeze. It was late afternoon, the sky already turning slightly rosy in anticipation of sunset. I did’not plan to go far. I did not have to go far. There, out of sight and hearing of the vilIage, I was able t0 experience the land, the vast land which is Canada. Not a whisper stirred the stillness. No waves lapped on the shore, no trees rustled, no birds cried . . . only sky and cloud and snow, and the stubborn pounding of one human heart rrying to touch the silence, yearning for communion with that wilderness, hoping to understand a peopie, survivors of a land of fire and ice, lost in my own ancestry, and to know with my very soul this frighteningly huge country I was taught to call my home and native land. -next: Pmple of Summer Beaver

How could anyone perform this ballet without it? We was robbed, we were; after all, it is the centerpiece of the ballet.

If anything could stand some updating, you’d think it would be The Nutcracker, having made it through some 100 years and untold thousands of performances. However, some things are better talked about than actually done. Performing at The Centre in the Square December 12-16, Ballet de Montreal, under the direction and choreography of Eddy Toussaint, attempted an alternative staging of the Tchaikovsky ballet geared toward today’s generation of children reared on Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Unfortunately, the element of the fantastical and the magical was played down in favour of something more accessible to cyberpunks. The traditional Nutcracker opens with the scene at a child’s Christmas party. This version begins in a ballet classroom before Christmas vacation with the students trying on the Nutcracker costumes. This new scene successfully maintains the magic and mystique of the ballet, setting the mood for the remainder of the story. Unfortunately, the experimentation of the second half does not maintain the ambience established at

A -dirty by Chris Wodskou Imprint staff It’s already been out for almost a month, but there’s still time to miss War Of The Roses. That’s right, miss it. As in misogyny. As in, it’s a miscarriage of justice that it has become one of the critical and box office favourites of the Christmas movie rush. And lest you misconstrue my meaning, consider the following. As the movie opens, the war is long over. Lawyer Gavin D’Amato (played by that huggable little ogre, Danny DeVito, who also directs] uses the saga of Barbara and Oliver Rose to caution a prospective client against divorce proceedings, a public service to the naive who actually believe, in their untainted vision, that an amicable divorce settlement is possible: a marriage, intones the sage solicitor, however rotten, should be clung to at all costs to avoid the inevitable carnage that trying to wrest property away from an ex-wife entails.

The Rose marriage, he explains, exacted the heaviest of tolls. Golden girl Barbara (Kathleen “What, me play a moody, libidinous femme fatale?” Turner] and bright, ambitious lawyer Oliver (Michael Douglas] should and do have the perfect marriage; he licks the right his young boots, sacrifices adulthood and gets his partner.0

However, it was just one of several disconcerting liberties Eddy Toussaint’s troupe took with the ballet. While some of the deviations were genuinely innovative, such as the playfully sinuous Dance of the Snakes in place of the Dance of the Flutes, the production too often veered toward a sort of slapstick clearly aimed at the younger contingent. Pratfalls and exaggerated facial expressions abounded tit the expense of (hate to sound like a stuffed shirt) very much real artistry. Toussaint’s choreography seemed to make the assumption that children are unable to appreciate the spectacle of pure grace and athletics that good ballet affords and resorted to milking cheap laughs out of the kiddies.

the beginning. The bbnbon land of the traditional ballet is transformed into a Brazil-like, sterile, futuristic distraction. Whil’e the dances of the second half were most interesting .and energetic, audience attention seemed to waver be-

tween the inflatable silver props and the dancing. The props disrupted the flow of the ballet. They took far too long to fill and when they were finished floundering around, they still seemed limp and lifeless.

This left viewers wondering if they were -really supposed to look that way. The silver props were cold and harsh, shattering the magical quality of a traditional favorite. . And what happened to the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy?

little .War *of ship-in his law firm while she is the model homemaker, raising two (eventually) impeccable children. Their marriage is culminated in the purchase of their dream house. The course of true love runs smooth until Barbara manages to complete the furnishing of the house, the task into which she has thrown herself completely, and is thus no longer distracted from the fact that she can’t stand the sight of Oliver, let alone the way he chews his food. Oliver eventually acquiesces to Barbara’s demand for a di-u vorce, and all is well until the matter of said house is raised: they both want it, the gauntlet is thrown, and the detente between the sexes heats up into total war. From there, The Wclr Of The Roses degenerates into The Untaming Of The Shrew. It’s not so much that Oliver is blameless within the movie - indeed, he is positively cold and calculatingly singleminded in his determination to get the house out of Barbara’s clutches - but the film’s ethos is clearly a holdover from Honeymooners-style domesticity: the husband’s sweat and toil has paid for the house and now here’s this uppity broad who has the bare-faced gall to think she can have the run of it. Barbara is nearly impossible to sympathize with - her demands are patently unreasonable, and she manages to outdo Oliver in the viciousness depart-

ment. Now, fine, the fact that she is the worse of’the two villains need not signify anything more misogynist than that she is an unsavoury character, but what DeVito has done is turn her into a caricature of the shrewish woman, the uncontrollable, hysterical, vindictive woman whose greatest matrimonial joy is sending her (ex-)husband to an early grave. “Women are a lot meaner than

we give them credit for,” Devito soberly coaches his client, much the same way as a general commands his troops not to underestimate the enemy. And her behaviour validates DeVito’s advice, She is unremittingly mean-spirited and her actions take a much heavier toll than Oliver’s. Frankly, I found this Cold Warrior view of the battle of the sexes exceedingly embarrassing,

But it’s black comedy, shout the ads - i.e. you’re supposed to be shocked by it. But a sharp, successful black comedy - Parents and Eating Raouj - works through its perversity, its eagerness to find,rot, evil, danger, and decadence at the heart of all that we find innocuous, pristine, respectable, and good. War Of The Roses does the opposite, trying to persuade us to laugh at domestic violence, to convince us that it’s just funny - harmless, really - that Oliver takes a swing at Barbara with a tire iron, that it’s kind of fun to watch Barbara tumbling down the stairs. t . after all, Oliver didn’t really mean to knock her down the stairs. There are, to be fair, some mitigating factors which make the movie watchable. DeVito’s direction, if not his screenwriting, is lively and inventive, using lots of DeVito’s-eye-view (that is to say, low angle) shots and a playfully rambunctious camera reminiscent of the likes of Raising Arizona. It is also well-paced, fairly steamrolling ahead, so you don’t

being appalled. Also in spite of what the ads and the critics have hailed, the majority of the alleged humouris lame, and what does hit the mark is usually tarnished with a generally unpleasant aftertaste of sleazy and cynicism. A Rose by any other name would smell as bad.

In no particular order: The Company of Wolves A dense, atmospheric psychodrama sweaty with sex and Freudian allusions and some of the scariest special effects of the decade. Look for Danielle Dax skulking around with nb clothes on like a cat in the night with no clothes on. Brazil The closest Terry Gillam has come to realizing his vision (whatever that may be). Probably the most cohesive and concise this particular auteur will ever be, Spinal Tap This “rockumentary,” if you will, shows that heavy metal needn’t be played by witless, sexist Nean’derthals, but it helps. Blade Runner, Aliens, The Road Warrior, The Terminator This quartet of films set the tone for science-fiction/adventure cinema in the eighties. The first, a luscious sensory feast, virtually defined the genre “cyberpunk.” The second was, quite simply, the best action film of the decade. The third saw Mel Gibson reviving the Man with No Name and sending him into a post-apocalyptic wasteland on a reluctant mission of deliverance. The fourth was a desolate timetravel pursuit movie; Schwarzennegger is good, but the plot rules! Full Metal Jacket Stanley Kubrick avoids blackand-white moralizing, asking very basic questions, and leaving the answer to the viewer, Like all of Kubrick’s films, it’s lean, meticulous and visceral. Tampopo Boisterous, busy and sexy, with a large debt owing to the westerns of yesteryear. Juzo Itami’s bloated hybrid proves that east can be west, west can be east, and perhaps the trains should meet.

Smell the sleaze, Umai The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith Of all the Australian imports, this was easily the best. Fred Schepisi, who brought us the excellent Smash &A.~ce, here tells the story of an aborigine.2 revolt against his white masters, and his subsequent downfall. Frank, simple and clinically brutal, it addresses issues of racism and colonialism with almost unheard-of eloq’uence. Do The Right Thing A tense, clatistrophobic workout of racial tensions on a hot summer day in New York. Spike Lee’s uncompromising story plays top to our ossified racial attitudes’ bottom. *Heathers The first North American teen flick that gives its intended audience a genuinely useful mesdespite sage. It succeeds Christian Slater’s irritating Jack Nicholson impression. Hollywood Shuffle Skewers white attitudes about blacks [Afro-Americans?) without being threatening or preachy. Director, producer, screenwriter and star Robert Townsend constructs a devastating comedy, using a rapier wit where Spike Lee uses a fist of ham. Batty batty batty! Toxic Avenger Still Troma Team’s finest moment: Perfect meets George Romero in a dimension barren of production values, credible acting or taste.

Dead Ringers An artistic and technical triumph. Whatever Cronenberg’s Weftanschuuang is, he continues to make unique and exciting motion pictures. Kudos to Jeremy Irons for playing, t he dual role of Beverly and Elliot. Fright Night Great Saturday night cartoonish horror fun. Skillfully straddles the line between horror and comedy with great performances from Chris Sarandon and Roddy McDowell. Dangerous Liasons Sleaze fest disguised as art. You can almbst smell the corruption ,beneath the powdered wigs and low-cut gowns. Get out the party hooters and welcome Uma Thurman! Un Zoo La Nuit Dazzling, schizophrenic, excessively violent and unapologetically sentimental. This film led the recent renaissance in Canadian filmmaking which has given the likes of Atom Egoyan a considerably wider audience. The Metal Years This “rockumentary,” if you will, shows that heavy metal needn’t be enjoyed by witless, sexist Neanderthals, but it helps. River’s Edge Based on a true story, this film depicts a murder in a small town without any of the glitzy dressing which keeps us from feeling the gravity of the crime.

B.OOKS ‘Raymond Brigga Unlucky Wally - Twenty Years On Hamish Hamilton Ltd.

by Stacey Lobin Imprint staff Do you know any small children - siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews - wi,th an unhealthy interest in disease, pestilence, and death? Perhaps you should introduce them to Wally, hero of the books UnI&ky WaIIy and Unlucky WoIIy - Twenty Years On. Wally is a fairly amiable fellow, however, the fact that he has halitosis, body odour, false teeth and fungi does not easily endear him to-others and leaves him an outcast, lonely and unlucky. Wally doesn’t seem to mind, though; he carries on with life, ,

drinking his Dubonnet-and-lem-‘ onade, acquiring a new kitty, losing both of his parents and learning to drive. “All in all, he is not much unhappier than he ever was and the future looks only a little worse than the past. Waily considers himself quite lucky.” This is one of I&iggs’ works geared to children rather than adults, unlike When the Wind Blows or Fungus the Bogeyman. Although those books are superficially childlike and appealing to children with their whimsical drawings and simple diction, they are ‘better understood by adults who can pick up on Briggs* snide comments and subtle innuendos. With Wdy, however, there is a dearth of subtle messages; the book is just trying to say “don’t be afraid to be alone - be proud, to be yourself”. Good advice, certainly, and hopefully that will eet’throueh to those nastv childFen’s miids while they%e contemplating Wally’s verruca and his dead mother.

.-Sandra Birdsell The Missing Child

lives and hidden thoughts interwoven with the day-t&day routine of laundry, meal planning and pathetic sexual realities.

by MichaeI Salovaara Imprint staff

Anyone who has grown up in a small town will recognize the characters and the events that mark their lives as intimately faWhen I brought this book miliar: the pious inflicted with home my brother inquired unholy yearnings; the mystic whether The Missing Child was who communes with the Word; a spy novel, a thriller or an adthe faithful stumbling into infiventure where right triumphs delity; the outsider trying to fit over left and the hero gets the i by becoming a blond; the love interest. “No, john,” I said, “it’s about life in a small town, wronged desiring to right the not much different than South past: the lovely and the tolerated River,” being loved and despised.

The setting is in small town Manitoba inhabited by a mosaic of Hutterites, Mennonites, Francophones, Anglos, Native and Metis. As we drive by small town Canada, small buildings appear and disappear along with those nameless, faceless bodies. We wonder what sort of meaning life holds for these little people with their pitifully myopic lives. Sandra Birdsell takes us to Agassiz, Manitoba for us to discover what lays behind that layer of first impressions.

“Good for what ails ya!”

172 KING ST. W.,

Then she takes away another layer, then another, and another. Before we know it, we forget thgt these people are no longer twodimensional cutouts along the highway, There develops a rural sophistication that is as rich, diverse and phony as its urban counterpart.

Don’t get the idea that Birdsell has painted another idyllic picture of life in the country or how quaint life is in that town we never stop at but always plan to, Such places don’t really exist, except in the pages of secondrate novels authored by minds too lazy to care about what really goes on in that town,

The 8-0s >-in pro. sports by Rich Nichol Imprint steff Professionat sport had its fair share of thrills, excitement, progression, degradation, and controversy in the 80s. The most unforgettable sports game of the past decade was, arguably, team U.S.A.‘s upset win over U.S.S.R. 4-3 in the 1980 Olympics. The team went on to win the gold medal over Finland in the finals. Another story which finished a close second was “The Gretzky Trade,” undoubtedly the biggest player transaction in the history of sports. On August 9, 1988, Wayne Gretzky, Mike Krushelnyski, and Marty McSorley were .sent to the Los Angeles Kings in return for Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas, three future first-round draft picks, and a check for $15 million. The biggest lowlight in sports in the 80s saw Ben Johnson being stripped of his loom gold medal at the Seoul Qlympics in 1988 for testing positive for steroids. Johnson went even further to make a fool of himself by stating at the airport that he has never taken steroids and then testified differently at the Dubin Inquiry back home. He later decided to direct traffic on the Toronto highways using a starter pistol. Canadian ‘hero? I think not. A disgrace to Canada? Yes. But there were more problems in major league baseball than in any other sport this past decade. There were stories of betting, drugs, sex scandals, paternity suits, and racism. Personally, I . think the biggest problem in baseball is the fact that it runs for nine months of the year. Nonetheless, here part one of a wrap-up of the top events, stories, and news from the past decade in professional sports.

OLYMPICS: s - U.S.A. surprised U.S.S,R. 4-3 in hockey when Mike Eruzione beat Vladimir Myshkin for the winner and later claimed the gold over Finland in the final - the U.S. and 61 other countries boycotted the Moscow Summer Olympic Games HOCKEY: - the P elpbia Flyers finished up a@mL-record %-game unbeaten stR4a.k : : _’ + ,

Cagefrs. 1 for 3 in, LO. by Rich Nichd Imprint staff Hopefully with a new year and a new decade, there will be a new outlook for the UW basketball Athenas. In late November, the team somehow survived an onslaught of injuries and are now repairing the damage and fine tuning their >front court game, The improvement was evident at the Ryerson Invitational Tournament held at Kerr Hall Gymnasium in Toronto December 30 to January 1. If it wasn’t for the fact that Waterloo paired up with the best team in the opening round, they might have been in the finals

Twen though our draw of the tournament was tougher than the other, I thought we performed well.* Leslie Dal Cin against the same team under a different draw structure. Instead, the Athenas settled for sixth in the eight team tournament. “We’ve . really improved our passing game and lowered the number of turnovers we make,” said satisfied head coach Leslie Dal Cin. “Even though our draw of the tournament was much tougher than the other, I thought we performed well,” Waterloo began the weekend against Official Sports, a Toronto club team and eventual tournament champions, and ‘were relegated to the consolation draw by a 65-48 loss. ; In: the consolation semi+final tilt, the Athenas met up with Ca-

rleton Ravens and advanced to the consolation championship game after a third straight pummelling of the Ravens in exhibition play this season, this time winning 58-33. UW settled for the bridesmaid role in a battle with Guelph for the consolation crown, losing a squeaker in the dying moments, 52-47. In game one, Waterloo took the early lead but Official Sports threatened to run away with it after the first ten minutes. A much needed timeout by Dal Cin helped her squad reorganize, and the Athenas came back to close the gap, behind by only six at the half, 35-29. Unfortunately, Waterloo could not keep pace with the Senior “A” club team, despite a great battle in the second segment, losing 65-48. On the stats sheet, Waterloo shot a mediocre 46 per cent from the floor and a fantastic 75 per cent at the gift box. This beat both of Official Sports’s figures, but the difference came in the number of opportunities to shoot. UW, attempted only 46 baskets, compared to 77 by the. Toronto workhorses. Fifth year forward Michelle McCrory paced the Athena attack with seven rebounds, three assists, and 16 points, 12 of which came in the first half. Sophomore star Brenda Kraemer canned ten points, and teammate Jen Hinton came off the bench in a tenacious ,relief role to score ten in a span of three minutes late in the game. National team member‘ Mary Ann Kowal was the top scorer for Official Sports, shooting 80

per cent from the hardwood for 18 points. In the consolation semi-finals, the Ravens did not sink their first basket until 15:40. Waterloo took advantage of the Carleton brick tossing show by coming back to hoop shots on several baseline drives. After eight min-

utes, the Athenas led 23-10. The Ravens then switched to a deeper defence, which was just like using gasoline to put out a fire - that allowed UW more room inside to work. At the half, j Waterloo had a commanding, {lead of 37-14. The second frame began at an extremely fast pace. But Carleton crowded the paint in the front court and went scoreless for a span of seven minutes at the middle of the half. Somehow the Ravens got a second wind and narrowed the gap to a respectable margin at the final buzzer, 58-33. Both teams potted only 33 per * cent from the wood, but Waterloo shot with better accuracy at the charity stripe, sinking 80 per cent. The Athenas ruled the paint throughout the contest, out-rebounding Carleton 35-19. Kraemer had another stellar day on the hardwood with 13 points and seven rebounds. Veterans Jane Willett and Hinton showed strong support, canning 12 and ten points respectively. Offence orchestrater McCrory (dubbed “Air McCrocy” by the P.A. announcer during the game) rippled the nylon for eight points and collected six assists, Athena post Leah Arm Erickson also nailed four baskets despite an ailing knee problem. Finally, in the consolation battle, it looked like a barnburner in the making, as Waterloo took a narrow lead over Guelph 14-11 with 8:04 left in the opening half. But the Athena offence came to a grinding halt as the Gryphons outscored UW IO-2 over the next

four minutes. McCrory pulled the offence out of neutral to narrow the gap in the final five minutes, and Guelph led 25-23 at the break. The two teams equalled each other basket for basket throughout most of the second half. But unfortunately for Waterloo, st2vera1 jump shots were rejected by the basket in the dying minutes, and the Gryphons staved off a takeover to win 52-47. Guelph edged the Athenas in practically every aspect of the contest. They out-rebounded Waterloo 32-17 and shot a standard 45 per cent from the floor as compared to an inexcusable 18 per cent on tosses by the Athenas. Waterloo made up the difference at the foul line, sinking 77 per cent. A phenomenal effort was putforth by Kraemer, who led all scorers with 19 points. McCrory added to her fine pre-season total canning 13 points while fellow co-captain Hinton sank eight points of her own, Erickson ripped down four rebounds at each end of the court and added a deuce. Marnie. MacDonald was the top scorer for Guelph with 14 points, and mighty mouse guard Jennifer Heelis collected ten points and seven assists. The final game in the Athenas pre-season schedule is this Saturday (January 6) against the Metro jr. Raiders here a~ the PAC: with a 2 pm. start. Waterloo gets back into league play with a road trip to Windsor on Wednesday, January 10 and Western un Saturday, January 13.

The waiting is over. Four - months of practice and exhibition games will be put to the test when the University of Waterloo basketball Warriors begin league play with a road game at Windsor against the Lancers this Wednesday night. Waterloo finished the pre-season with an 11-6 record after a fourth place showing in the eight-team Ed Dearmon Memorial Tournament at Ryerson on December 27-29. The Warriors began the tourney with an 85-78 wip over the host squad to move into the champibnship draw. UW met up with McMaster in the semi-finals but fell one basket short of a win and were relegated to the third place game. Potsdam College, NY., who lost to eventual tournament champs the Alberta Golden Bears 92-75, defeated Waterloo 79-64 to take the bronze. “We came into this tournament without our big man Pat Telford (6'8") but Ron Braley and John Hamilton filled the hole well, commented head coach Don McCrae. McCrae described this year’s squad as quiet but sporadically powerful, heading into league Play “The addition of John Bilawey should really help us on offence,” said McCrae. “Andy (Zienchuk) and Chris (Troyak) have already shown fine efforts in the front court and John shoulddeepen the attack.” Zienchuk has certainly shown high numbers in exhibition play. He sank 13 treys on 16 attempts, tiollecting 86 points over three games and was named to the tournament all-star team. In game one, Ryerson began to comn+t countless personal fouls as the game turned ugly early. But Waterloo struggled to take full control of the contest because of a lack of shooting, The Warriors seemed to be making one too many passes, allowing the Rams defence to force UW into poor tosses. Waterloo went X-for-47 from the field but recovered with 7for-nine at the treylina and 70 per cent at the charity stripe, Ryerson bettered the gold and black only in field percentage (W-forl

51). The game took on a slow p-ace in the opening half as Waterloo led 43-42 at the break. But led by the tenacious attack of Hamilton and Zienchuk, the Warriors crept ahead for a seven point win at the final buzzer. Zienchuk was the king of the court, scoring XI points and canning all five trey attempts before fouling out late in the game. Troyak showed his consistency at the foul line by nailing nine of ten free throws in the second half en route to a ~4 point night. Big men Ron Braley, Chris Moore, and Hamiltbn combined to rip down 22 rebounds. The semi-final tilt saw Waterloo and McMaster exchange the lead four fimes in the opening half. McMaster began the game with a deep defence, but the extra room created for the Warriors was nullified by their inability to make controllable passes. Some great teamwork by Zienchuk and.Troy& allowed UW to take a four point lead with six minutes left in the half. But the Marauders went ahead just before the buz.zer on a sky hook in close by 6'10" centre Mike Preocanin. McMaster led 39-35. Waterloo stormed out of the dressing rqom, with a quickpaced offence in the second segment and made several fast drives through the lane. At I%%, the Warriors knotted the score at 47-47 then jumped to an eight point lead in the next three minutes. On one play, Braley fed a pass from the top of t-he perimeter to Troyak on the far left; Troyak’s trey attempt was rejected but Braley followed the shot to get the easy rebound.

B-BALL

The Marauders came back later on, taking advantage of several steals to outscore Waterloo 14-2 over a span of five minutes. With McMaster ahead 80-79' and nine ticks left on the clock, McCrae called his last timeout. But when play was to resume, an argument ensued between the Waterloo team and the zebras about placement of the throw-in, In a controversial ruling, the Warriors had to start their last play from their own endline. Consequently, the Warriors could not get good organization -in the front court for a solid shot and the ball bounced off the rim to give Mac the win. Zienchuk carried UW with 30 points while Troyak, Hamilton, and Moore potted 10 apiece. The Warriors shot an atrocious 30 per cent from the floor but recovered with 70 per cent on rainbow attempts and free throws. In the third place tilt, Potsdam displayed good offensive circulation in the early going while Waterloo failed to sink the routine layups in close. As a result, the Warriors fell behind 13-0 after the first six minutes. Then sophomore sensation Zienchuk began a solo of string music, naiIing three straight treys, the last resulting in a rare four-point play. Waterloo scampered back to narrow the gap to 39-33 at the half, Waterloo came otit of the dressing room with glue on their Reeboks as they watched the Bears can two baskets and a three-pointer just two minutes into the half. Potsdam took the wind out of the sails of a possible Warrior comeback when 6’8” centre Scott Burgess marched through the paint for an uncon-

tested slam dunk midway through the half, The Bears rampaged to win 79-64. “Every trip we took down the floor, we fouled up,” formulated McCrae. “There was confusion in the front court because every time we tried to run a play, only half the guys understood what was going on. We pushed to regain the lead and Potsdam broke it open.” Zienchuk became a sniper once again for the Warriors, hooping 31 points highlighted by five treys.

new you!

New decade, . by Lance Dawson Imprint staff

Happy New Year! Welcome to the new decade and to a new you! Campus Recreation (C-R) would kke to help everyone reach their New Year’s resolutions by starting off 1990 asone of the most fun-filled years yet. If you would like to attain new heights of physical fitness, improve on a personal skill, become ‘more socialIy active, or develop your leadership potential, then Campus Ret is just what you have been waiting for! With the coming of the new year, Campus Reb has turned over a few new leaves.There is a brand new sixcourt tennis bubble that has been built by the university at the Waterloo Tennis Club. This is available for student use free of charge. Campus Ret clubs have also been busy purchasing new equipment for the upcoming season. why not get involved in something different in the 9Os? If there wasn’t enough spice in your life in ‘89, then you weren’t spending time with us. The 1990 season is going to be our best ever and can be yours too. Registration for our many instructional programs begins on Sunday, January 7 and runs until January 11. Final entry dates for league registration begin on January 8. It is vital that you pick up your copy of the new Campus Ret brochure so you don’t miss any important dates. Campus Ret is trying to touch on all of your fitness needs. We have an

extensive aquatics program from beginning levels to level five diving classes.Our gyms are filled with basketball and volleyball teams of all levels. We have all kinds of aerobic classes, not to mention our brand new weight rooms. We have a full line fif free weights and Polaris equipment. 1 he arena and 700 acres of open spaceon the North Campus are yours to explore, hike, and discover. Columbia Icefield is alive in the 90s with broombaIl, hockey, and an incredible skating program (including power skating and figure skating). This winter, give your mind and your body a workout and develop a total new feeling with Campus Ret! There are also numerous clubs looking for someone like you, The Outer’s Club is for the outdoor enthusiasts (yes, in the winter too!). Some others are the archery, curling and sky-diving clubs. FROM THE SUGGESTION Box (Implemented last term by the Campus Recreation Advisory Council, Customer Relations Commit tee) SUGGESTIONS: 1) Sug: a change machine by the rental token machine Ans: suggestion noted but not previously considered 2) Sug: full tength mimers in the washrooms Ans: not a priority at this time 3) Sug: repairs to squash courts Ans: suggestion noted and forwarded to facility manager who coordinates annual maintenance with plant operations 4) Sug: repairs to excercise equipment Ais- are done A.S.A.P.

5) Sug: better safety features Ans: passed on to facility manager. Priorities need to be established in any physical activities compIex. Luxury or convenience items wiI1 be last on the list, especially if they are costly. Some repairs to facilities are costly, but safety factors and maintenance scheduIes (that attempt to coincide with siow periods) are also taken into consider tion. Some repairs are relatively inexpensive, but need to be fixed by outside parties, so may take longer. As most of you know, some thingi get heavily used and abused, for instance trying to use the rowing machine for something other than an aerobic workor It. Safztlr sL%esLions will definitely be a priority, and if feasible, implemented quickly. 6) Sug: weigh scales in the men’s changeroom Ans: they are in the faculty changeroom, 1023 7) Sug: no women’s sauna? Ans: it’s in the shower area, but perhaps it should be indicated more clearly. 8) Sug: use own locks on lockers? Ans: we need to have control, otherwise the privileges will be abused. But some lockers may still be available Some students, in their comments, expressedinterest in supporting new recreational and athletic facilities on campus. You can do it by getting involved in: a) the Student Life Building Committee, headed by the Dean of Students b) the Athletic Advisory Board c) the Cainpus Recreation Advisory Council d) the Federation of Students e) writing to any of the student or university publications - you can’t get much better exposure.

Sixteen teams attended the University of Western Ontario’s season opener. This 15th edition of the Western SeasonOpener starts the UW teams on the road to the National CI.N’s to be held in mid-March in Winnipeg. “We have over 40 athletes training on a regular basis,” reported Brent McFarlane,head coach of both teams. “The new indoor 40 metre track in the PAC building has helped our sprint program immensely. The middle distance group is training well on the roads. Our strong cross-country seasonis encouraging for the indoor season. We are looking forward to, and need to, recruit more women for our team. Hopefully, returning co-op students will come out for the team in January. We still need a few more athletes for our team.” Although only a small number of athletes attended this first meet, the results were very good. Many team members were studying. Rookie hurdler Jane Taite from Kingston is a welcome addition to Athena track. Her time of 9.74 seconds in the 60 m-hurdles placed her second. All-Canadian cross country sensation Jill Francis placed third in the women’s 3000 m in 10:17. Rookie Lynne Hedley was third in the women% 300 m. Rich Koomans and Shawn McCann led the Warriors by placing third in the high jump and 1000 m respectively. Pat Kirkham placed sixth in the men’s invitational 600 m. ‘The

team

is in need

of women,”

McFarlane says, “and this rebuilding will take some time. A strong recruiting program will be implemented in the coming year.” Any students returning in January who are interested in joining the team should contact the Athletic Department. The team trains in the PAC’s Blue mezzanine on Tuesday and Thursday at 5:15and Saturday moming at 1O:OO.
