Media analyst and publisher Barrie Zwicker was a welcome addition to WLU’s Btick in the USSR festival which drew to a close Tuesday, January 16. Zwicker has researched and written extensively on the Western media’s portrayal of the Soviet Union for print and visual media. Recently Zwicker analyzed the three major Toronto dailies’ Soviet coverage over a six month period. Although he conceded that Gor-. bachev’s image h&s had a positive impact on Western coverage of events in the Soviet Union, he says that the old Cold War mentality still t4WiVeS.
Vandalism
Zwicker found that over 50 per cent of all news events dealing with the Soviet Union centre on sieged spying - 126 separate cases in a 2xmonth period in 1986. These stories outnumbered all other areas combined. Zwicker made it quite clear that he uses “Western” media as a euphemism for “American” media. Two-thirds of all news stories produced in the world emanate from the United States. As a close neighbour of the U.S., Zwicker suggested Canada and much of the rest of the world is unduly influenced by American attitudes and interests. Political dissidents and media censorship, he maintains, are not a Soviet monopoly. He reminded his audience that British law restricts the

An unknown person or group of persons vandalized the Columbia Business Park last Monday night. Using blue and orange fluorescent spray aint, they scrawled the slogans “Deat if Awaits” and “Gotcha! I did it - $2000”on a garbage dumpster and the face of the building at 175 Columbia. The director of Cora Development Group which owns the land and buildings, Manfred Conrad, suspects that the vandals were disgruntled UW students. According to Conrad, the vandals probably I attacked the buildings because they had been denied access to the business mall’s private parking. During the mail’s construction, he
says he did not mind letting students patik there, but now that business tenants have moved in, he has cracked down on illegal parking. To date he has not resorted to towing away the vehicles, but he says he may do so in the future. In the past, students were asked by Conrad and his maintenance staff to remove their vehicles after Cora put up private parking s@-ts. Monday ni&t's

signs, as well as denting in some of the Iower windows. Conrad is frustrated with the lack of respect that the vandals showed for his property rights, and is considering hiring fulI-time security guards to monitor the buildings and parking lots. IxonicaIIy, he said that the $2000 damage slogan was a pretty fair estimate of the insurance repair bill.
into Afghanistan it was labelled an “invasion,” but when the United States sends troops overseas it is called a “liberation.” He attempted to prove his point by analyzing a CBC Journal videotape describing the on-going civil war in Afghanistan. Although his analysis was penetrating, his view of monolithic self-censorship and proAmerican. bias in the Western media was occasionally questioned. Zwicker handled these exchanges gracefully, granting that some of his analysis could be interpreted‘ differently. *’ *’ He spoke about the media/s preoccupation with not offending its audience or sponsors - the lifeblood of any news organization. As alternatives to the institutional biases that he sees dominating the media, Zwicker suggested 771~ Nation,an American public affairs newspaper and i%is Magazine, a Canadian publication. Barrie Zwicker’s presentation had a decidedly anti-American bias which he offered freely. He spoke privately of his fears that the CBC and BBC are our last line of defence against a completely market-dominated media. Both Prime Ministers’ Mulroney and Thatcher make no secret of their willingness to do away with an independently-funded media. Zwicker concluded that we should carefully select and question the information we receive from the media.

Confrontation’90 I
It was standing room only at the Humanities Theatre last Wednesday night as over 700 people gathered to hear Dr. John Ridpath, an economics professor at York University and Bob Rae, the leader of the official opposition of the Ontario legislature, debate the morality of capitalism and socialism. Audience reaction indicated that there were many supporters of both sides present. One enthusiastic Bob Rae fan held up a sign reading, “Socialism: Rae of hope” before the event started. During the course of the debate the crowd cheered and at times hissed the debators’ statements, showing its intense involvement in the confrontation.
Who won,? by Judy Hollands Imprint staff
and Michael

To ask who won a philosophical debate is a shallow undertaking if it deals only with the question “with whom did I agree,” We are taking up Dr. Ridpath’s directive which concludes that a good debate is one containing good cases. Did the cases sufficiently prove their conclusions? Did they contain contradictions? Were the arguments based on faulty notions or ideas? Whether Bob Rae or John Ridpath won the debate, on this level, does not determine whether socialism or capitalism is the more moral system. We do recognize, however, whose arguments met best the criteria of a realistic analysis.
The speeches and rebuttals were followed answering two questions from the other, opened to the audience. There was no vote taken to choose the debaters emphaslied their ultimate purpose about the timely issue of political and social

*A case against ‘a’ is not a case for b’,” Ridpath said. Nevertheless his case that capitalism is “the only moral system” is based upon his considered opinion that all other theories contain no part of morality or reason. His subsequent arguments are sufficient to prove that capitalism can be a moral sytem, however, only according to his particular concept of the ultimate value and aim of morality.

Simply
calling capitalism “the only moral does not make it so. Ridpath’s arguments fell short of proving the point according to his own rules of debate. In an almost flippant manner he discarded a limited spectrum of alternative theories as “collectivistic and mystic.” Such theories, he said, are neither rational nor moral. According to objective logic, which Ridpath used, to cal1 something “not rational or moral,” rather than “irrational” and “immoral,” implies that those theories have no moral or rational basis whatsoever. Ideas such as “the working of God’s plan . . . the unfolding of history . . . (or) evolution,” and morality for the sake of “nations, races, communities (or) human robots,” therefore, are completely devoid of reason and moral thought. system”
Three I!3sues
Ridpath’s arguments involved three beliefs for which he provided no conclusive evidence. They provoke us to question: Is society an accident or a property of human nature? What are the limits of ownership in a rational and free society? What is the rationa basis for the conclusion that all human beings are essentially “good”?

Why Ridpath lost On the surface Dr. Ridpath’s arguments for capitalism - or objectivism, the capitalist doctrine which he espouses - were powerful. The following syllogism contains his main points: I l Life is the ultimate value or aim of a moral system. l Life occurs only in individuals. . Therefore, only individuals (individual life) can be the ultimate value or aim of a moral system. On this basis he claims that capitalism is “the only moral system.” His subsequent arguments were set up to prove this conclusion. But in fact, they raised further questions about the viability of Ridpath’s system in reality. Ridpath believed that a philosophical debate is separate from reality per se: an idea itself requiring discussion.

Ridpath said triumphantly, “Every one of us is an island. We all live through the exercise of our own mind.” By this he meant that each of us is a “morally sovereign unit” and that human relationships must therefore be based on “persuasion and trade.” Ridpath suggested that this concept does not deny- the “natural benevolence” we feel toward one other. The suggestion that benevolent interaction is not only a “natural” choice we make, but a sine qua non of the successful human life does not fit his concept of human nature. We can experience the fullness of life without it, Likely few people would appreciate being forced “to live some life other than that life they would freely choose.” Forcing someone to be kind, for example, carries with it overtones of hypocrisy almost anyone will recognize. . . -This_ is not the problem with Ridpath’s conclusion. The problem is that he supposes that life can somehow be fulfilled in isolation from human society. Ridpath offered no argument supporting this idea.

According to Kdpath the right to property is fundamental. He suggested no limits to what or how much of anything an individual could own. In his society anyone rich enough can control life-sustainhg resources, Potentially, access to those resources could be denied those who need them. For example, an individual who controls the water supply could, at his whim, cut off water to someone he does not like. In Ridpath’s philosophy this action would be tantamount to a forceful denial of basic rights, but his arguments offered no guarantee against such abuse of individual freedom. Ridpath’s response would likely be that “the value of every person’s life is already a basis for understanding why it would be immoral for (someone) to deny any others those rights.”

tern. However, ultimately it amounts only to an interesting philosophical endeavour. Since every person’s opinion rests heavily upon only his or her own experience, conclusions based upon such opinions remain unprovable and abstract. Humans do act irrationally and immorallyRidpath’s comments did not account for that aspect of our nature. In the context of the debate, his examination of the fundamental character of human nature merely raised more questions than it answered.
Why Rae won Bob Rae’s definition of the ultimate value of a moral system was that it must be a “response to what we share as humans.” Therefore, though life does occur only in individuals, a fulfilling individual life cannot be sustained in isolation from human interaction. “At its simplest,“he said, “Socialism is ‘I am my brother’s keeper.“’ Rae’s arguments did not appear as academic as Dr. Ridpath’s. They were designed to reflect the understanding and experiences of the audience. Rae relied on real life to support his conclusions, rather than theoretical logic. His arguments applied philosophy to the difficulties of our present social conditions. This was not the pure use of phtiosophy to find ultimate answers to ultimate questions. By this method he made his comments compelling, and thus successful in the context of the debate.

Totalitarian socialism and the Mafia use physical force and coercion to suppress these fundamental rights. To idenw how his system would work, Rae used Sweden as a prime example. In Sweden a minimum standard of living is successfully provided to everyone without any violent suppression of individual’s rights and freedoms. The mutual obligation

“I reject thateach of us is an island,” Rae exclaimed. “The foundation of the morality of democratic socialism is an answer to the question, ‘What do we owe one another?“’ Rae considers the needs of interaction and interdependence as “permanent facts about the human condition.” The ultimate moral system, he suggested, must respond to and not avoid those needs. Social democracy determines to “reinforce this sense of obligation” by answering not only the needs of this generation but of future generations. This involves a coordinated

Rae’s first point clarified that “what happened in Eastern Europe has as much to do with democratic socialism as the Mafia.” East Europeans are fleeing totalitarianism, not socialism.

These include health, housing, and education,

effort to provide for the rights of every generation, such as a clean environment, effective health care and social security. Rae asked rhetorically, if one “ruthlessly pursues self-interest,” why would one be concerned about future generations? He showed how a moral society must encourage benevolent attitudes and equity rather than’ leave those rights up to the “arbitrariness of nature.” The morat gift. Central to Rae’s dissetition was the question, “What could be more moral than the expression of love?” He defined love as the willingness of individuals to give to others who are in need without “putting a price tag” on the gift. Rae related this notion to his own giving of bone marrow to his brother. The objectivist argument may be that he gave marrow to respond to his own interest in the life of his brother. Rae clearly considered that this reasoning degrades the capability of humans to give without expecting a return. Quoting Rabbi Hillel, Rae concluded, “If I am not for myself, then who is for me? If I am for myself only, then what am I?” Rae established a view of human nature which was not limited to rational behavior. His comments were designed to encourage moral ideals which expand the capacity of individuals to be concerned for one another. A moral system must be equal to this ideal. It may appear that we have contied arguments to support Rae’s viewpoint. Rather, Dr. Ridpath made the mistake of delivering insufficient arguments in a sophisticated manner which made them easy to dissemble. RaeS comments were presented colloquially and were not logically structured. However, after investigation they appear founded to a greiter extent on rational& discerned, sensible reality. Abstract intelIectualizing enlivens a debate, but the effect is reduced when the issues at hand are relevant social concerns. As Dr. Ridpath suggested, in light of the events in Eastern Europe, the question of the best social system is on many people’s minds. We do not believe that the views we have expressed should necessarily change anyone’s mind. Neither John Ridpath nor Bob Rae considered this the aim of the debate. Winning or losing the debate was not their central concern. Rather they presented ideas which would provoke the audience to consider the issue seriously.
Although he assumes that such immoral activity would be unthinkable to people living in the society he imagines, Ridpath does concede that some policing activity on the part of an otherwise impotent “state” would be necessary. Ridpath claimed that all people are inherently good. If so, why would any police activity be necessary? What is the rational basis for the assumption that all human beings are essentially good? Ridpath argued the main premise of socialism is that humans are evil while capitalism assumes we are good. He equates “good” with living morally, which is “to live by the exercise of the rational mind.” In Ridpath’s hypothetical society, the welfare of the population depends on rational individual behaviour. People are good, therefore, because it is rational for them to be so. Ridpath offered no evidence to support this assump tion. Discussing the question of human nature can relate to the concern about a moral sys-

Privacy

by Moustafa Bayoumi Imprint staff
Workers have no rights to privacy while at work, including when they’re in the bathroom, says Dr. Vincent di Norcia. Such was one of the revelations of corporate philosophy for the use (or abuse) of information technology, di Nor&, a visiting philosophy professor from Laurentian University, at a well-attended brown bag lecture last Tuesday, January 16, entitled “Privacy in the Information Age: Do you have any?” Di Norcti’s talk focused on three major applications of information technology in our society today: the taping of private conyersations; the monitoring of workers’ performance; and the amassing of information on individuals, particularly by credit bureaus. Viewing none of these issues as inherently value free, nor as intrinsically good or evil, di Norcia pre ceeded to trace the complex web of rights and privileges that these issues cover. Speaking mainly through anecdotes, he gave examples of each issue and its relative importance to our own rights to privacy. Under Canadian law (as reported by 71ru Globe artd Mail,) the right to record private conversations is sanctioned, so long as one party has Vince di Norcia holds up his wallet and suggests keeping a given consent to the practice, di Norcia revealed.

Therefore, di Norcia sees the issue as one of design. Monitoring systems can benMe employee by clearing one of a false charge, or by providing information for a defence in a law suit. The question then becomes what is a good system. As it is, the worker is presumed to be untrustworthy and thus has no right to privacy at work, Di Norcia likened this to a panopticon, a nineteenth century prison concept where the guard can see all the prisoners and the prisoners can see no one. Penal in more ways than one, he maintains the present system allows for no negotiation and no consent on the part of those being monitored. Di Norcia says Orwellian logic takes over to the greatest degree, however, with the discussion of credit agencies. Withdrawing a credit card from his wallet for effect, he explained how much of our private life is public knowledge due to the signature and magnetic strip on the back of these credit cards. “Money is . abstract and anonymous, while unlike money, credit cards are personal - they include your , name and number.”
Thus all our purchases with credit cards can be traced and our movements and lifestyles monitored by those who are willing to pay for the information. As an example of the relative ease with which this information can be accessed, di Norcia drew on an example from Business Week magazine. Working through some spurious bureaucracy and paying a five hundred dollar application fee and twenty dollar-a-head fee, a Business Week reporter was able to access the credit reports of two of his coworkers (who knew of the operation.) Di Nurcia sees as the most pernicious part of the system the fact that none of us are asked whether we wish to partake in this information gathering system, There is no effort to inform us of what is going on, nor of asking for our consent, and for the most part we cannot verify our own files.
Instead, he says, information is collected, centralized and dispensed

Conspiracy
is afoot
Once you enter the wilderness of mirrors - the world of espionage and counter-espionage - there is no escape. Even if you leave direct secret service activities, the poison of suspicion, deception and intrigue can never,be filtered out of the bloodstream. Lies course through your arteries and out of your body as naturally as blood or sweat. Truth is a maleable and muteable commodity at the best of times. In the world of espionage and diplomacy, truth is as elusive as phantasms. Speculation and conspiracy theory often come closer to the underlying truth of international manipulation that the sanitized factual lies which are filtered to the public through media organs+ many of which consent dumbly to simple-minded tales told by the American government. As I read the media’s reports about the developing situation in Panama and the U.S. invasion, somehow the reported facts and the history of US. foreign relations with brutal generalissimos didn’t quite add up. Mere insubordination to American command is not an adequate reason to justify full-scale military intervention. The U.S. has been subjected to more abuse and treachery from other puppet regimes than they ever received from Noriega. Further, assassination or coup would have been sufficient to
be rid of Noriega. Full-scale invasion and the overwhelming US, desire to apprehend Noriega while he was still alive have opened the door to other possible theories. A liberal amount of caffeine and fatigue-induced delirium has resulted in this alternate interpretation of events.
Involvement in the “Golden Triangle” drug industry of Southeast Asia and the foundation of offshore banks in the Caribbean are but two of the documented events which point to the CIA’s involvement in the international drug trade. Others have called the CIA the world’s largest drug dealers. From .a purely pragmatic perspective, CIA involvement in the international drug trade makes perfect sense - it gives them a large source of income to finaace code “Black” covert operations without involvement or interference from political masters and watchdogs. Further, the drug trade gives the CIA access to large private armies and avoids the difficulties of infiltrating operatives into numerous foreign countries. A third advantage is that the income allows the CIA greater leeway to bribe and buy the loyalty of foreign governments. The connections between Manuel Noriega and the Colombian drug cartels were well-documented and reported by American government agencies and form the basis of the charges which have been laid against him in American courts. The long-standing relationship between Noriega and the CIA has also been the subject of many articles in the western press. It is easy to deduce that Noriega was acting as a CIA middleman in their extensive drug trade, and allowing them to use Panama as a dispersal point. From Panama, the drugs could then be split up and ferried to various parts of the U.S. - either on American Armed Forces transport planes, or through other means, Imagine that an especially large shipment of drugs arrived in Panama. Noriega, tired of being tossed scraps’ from the CIA’s table, hijacked and hid the load. now would the CIA recover the drugs since Panama is a sovereign nation? We already know the answer - they must topple Noriega through an invasion. Invasion is the only option. CIA operatives could not move freely through Panama while Noriega was in power. Assassination would not guarantee enough chaos to allow the CIA to search Panama and find the drugs. Once it became clear that military intervention was the only efficacious route to get the shipment back, three issues had to be addressed: 1) convincing the president, Z) convincing the public and 33 violating international law as little as possible. George Bush, an ex-CIA chief and participant in the IranContra fiasco would only be too easy to convince of the necessity of invasion, I’m sure. The barrage of anti-Noriega rhetoric and bombast, along with the charges of drug trafficking, would amply justify the invasion to the leaden masses. Issue number thr& was the difficult one. Under international law, one can only invade another nation when an act of war has been committed by that nation. Noriega is far too astute and educated in the ways of intrigue to pull a stunt as stupid as attacking off-duty American servicemen. Given. America’s track record of bandit0 diplomacy, wisdom would have dictated that extreme caution should be used. If Noriega was not going to provide America with justification for invasion, it would have to be manufactured, Knowledge can be a dangerous thing, and the CIA would have to engage in some track-covering if it was to pull this plot off. What better way to accomplish two tasks at once than to use loyal Panamanian CIA operatives to murder an American soldier [and probable CIA agent) in broad daylight? The rest is, as they say, history. The Americans riega. If they do not have the drugs already, the imprisonment will probably motivate Noriega beans. And business goes on as usual.

To the editor, I have a question for the managers of Fed Hall and the Bombshelter, the Feds and the university administration. Why is smoking permitted at Fed Hall and the Bombshelter? Isn’t it time these two places caught up to the rest of the campus as far as nosmoking policy goes? have come to Most people associate smoking with bars. It’s hard to imagine a bar where, God forbid, you’re not allowed to ,light up. Everyone knows that smoking and
drinking go together, right? Who could imagine clean air in a bar? You may have to pay for the drinks, but at least you get something extra: you’re sporting a different fragrance when you leave - eau d’ashtray and it’s absolutely free! Why does this have to be? The vast majority of people on this campus do not smoke. Even on a busy night in the Bombshelter, a glance will will show you that the majority of patrons there are not smoking. It’s usually a sizable majority, at that. So why are so few people permit-
ted to contaminate the clothes and bodies of so many? Those staff whom I’ve spoken to do not like the smoke, and most of the patrons have chosen to do without it, so why must we be forced to put up with it? The managers of Fed Hall ahd the Bombshelter should take a hint from the rest of the campus: we don’t like cigarette smoke. The smoking minority certainly can’t be relied upon to to respect everyone elsefs right to clean lungs, so something must be done. This uote sums up the feelings of a lot o7 non-smokers pretty well:

In search of a more objective viewpoint, I searched through back issues of Time magazine and discovered some interesting information. First of all, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (which means “great seer”) doesn’t meditate. He has reached the fourth state of consciousness and no longer needs to. Maharishi has a degree in physics, spent 12. years studying under a Swami (the Guru Dev, which means “divine teacher”), and spent two years meditating in a Himalayan cave. As to the question of whether TM is a religion, further research revealed that when you are initiated into TM, you are led into an incense-filled, candle-lit room with a picture of

“Cigarette smoke is the residue of your pleasure. It fills the air and putrefies my clothes and hair and lungs without my consent. Phave a pleasure also. I like beer.

Ibowdown... at whose dooi the whole galaxy of gods pray for perfection day and night.“You can decide if that is religious or not; U.S. COUI+S think so. Doctors disagree about the passible benefits of TM. They are troubled that the majority of research on TM benefits has come from TM itself. Herbert Benson, of the J-Iarvard Medical School, feels that the value of meditation is in its relaxation of the meditator. He claims that many of the

benefits claimed from TM could be obtained from any good relaxation technique, which he distributes for free. Relaxation is a good thing, but TM does not have a monopoly on it, This is‘ al1 unusual enough, but there is more. In the late seventies, the Maharishi claimed that through TM people could learn how to walk through walls, how to feel infinite compassion, how to become invisible and how to levitate.

bum irregular shapes, Ieaving behind diverse plant communities and the majority of the biomass returns to the soil. The saddest fact of all is that we have no accounting of the state of our forests or the best methods for harvesting wood in a sustainable manner. The Ministry of Natural Resources relies on the industry for much of its information on the forest, and has no records of harvesting costs or on past decisions on specific site reforestation. After two centuries, we have not worked out sound matigement practices; the Swedes have, so had the Germans before acid rain killed their forests. From the inception of the logging trade, we have undervalued our forests, virtually giving them away so as to promote industry which could then be taxed for revenues. We undervalue our forests. Consider the consumption patterns which closely follow the dollar cost of a product: Canadians are world leaders in per capita consumption of paper. Think of the amount of paper that enters the waste stream each day without ever having beeniused: whole sections of the newspaper never‘read, serviettes that never d-4 a dirty finger, or th.e short life-span products suchas coffee cups, paper towels and bags, kleenex and food containers. A child wearing disposable diapers will consume upwards of 7,000 of them before being toilet trained. All of this biomass is then buried in our hnd-fill sites which are rapidly expiring. Hence the urgent push to recycle and reuse in order to divert this waste. Although recycling is a worthy effort, it is only the first step. It addresses a symptom and not the problem, which is our wasteful and destructive production and our mindless consumption. If we use it all up today, there will be little or nothing left for tomorrow. What can you do? The ways and means you possess to influence change are only limited by your imagination. To start with, you can: l educate yourself about Canada’s resource extraction polices; l become involved ig the decision-making process by voicing your enlightened concerns to the decision makers; l understand the cost of your consumption, not simply in terms of money out of your pocket, but as the consumption of our non-renewable energy and resources and our habitat; l avoid frivolous consumption; exercise some thoughtful restraint.

At present, the Federation runs three buses to Toronto and two returning every weekend at a cost to students of $6 one way and $11 return. However, based uponstudent response and enthusiasm for this initiative toward expansion, buses could be organized to run to cities such as Windsor, London and Ottawa. now
Further, Monk hopes to expand the service to Warrior volleyball, basketball, and hockey games, running buses to more events and increasing student awareness of such buses. In fact, you can support the “Black Plague”, the Volleyball Warriors that is, during their visit to Western on Tuesday, January 23. Buses will be leaving from the Campus Centre at 5~30 and cost $6 for a round-trip. In the past, the Fed bus has been organized on an ad hoc basis without an eye toward possible future expansion, Monk says. Since the Federation of Students can break even running relatively full buses while charging slightly more than 50 per cent of the comparable Gray Coach rate, expanded bus ser$ce could save students a significant amount of money.
stresses that the expansion depends upon student response. Since the Federation cannot afford to run routes simply to test the response, student response based upon petition to the Fed Office and directly to Monk himself will be the determinant of new routing. Only students Monk

Maybe some of the effects of this addictive drtig can make the reasons a bit clearer.
’ Nicotine is an alkaloid poison which is lethal in a 60 mg dose. Cigarettes have a fraction of the dose, so most of the nicotine passes from the body before a lethal dose is built up. Tar seems to be the major cause of the cancers and the respiratory diseases (emphysema and bronchitis). Tar is composed of a thousand solid chemicals combined in a goop that would make some people etch. Carbon monoxide (CO) attaches @ red blood MS (rather than the required oxygen). Thus C&n&es the heart work harder by decreasing the efficiency oxygen exchange. Some of CO’s other side effec& include promotion of cholesterol deposits in arteries, impaired sensory perception, and poorer physical endurance. Non-smokers should note that the toxins a smoker inhales is also inhaled by a stander-by. So second-hand smoke is nearly as danierous
In the short term, nicotine in cigarette acts aS a stimulant by causing a rise in bid pressure and heart rate by as much as 50 per cent. The initial stimulant effect curbs the appetite and slows digestion by affecting the bowel. Nicotine also lowers skin temperature and reduces blood circulation in the legs and arms. Smoking initially stimulates, but is shortIy followed by a reduction of central nervous system activity. Regular smokers quote a relaxed feeling from inhaling smoke.

FIag causes conflict on campus During the week of December 4-8 the only flag flying on the ?J of C’s campus was that of the Palestinian people. Palestine Awareness Week was cosponsored by the Arab Canadian Students Association and the Students Union, and was supposed to foster awareness about the Palestinians people’s side of their ongoing struggle for nationhood and selfdetermination in the Middle East. The flag was flying in front of the library and had the dates Dec.4-8 printed on it, along with the motto “struggle for seti-determination” surrounding a picture of the flag of the Palestinian people. This flag is usually associated with the Palestine Liberation Organization and is considered a sign of conflict. Many groups complained that the group was being supported by the students. The flag was taken down, but was put up again after the students’ council decided that the group of students did not endorse the PLO. I And yet another recycling program! The University of Calgary has acquired a new campus recycling bin, donated by IG Paper Recycling. The bin will serve the sole purpose of allowing students, staff, and faculty to recycle all types of waste pqper. Next month the university will be getting smaller fireproof bins to be placed in every campus building. University

One of the bombs was to go,off at 8:30 a.m. and the other at 9:30 a.m. Stud&s missed classes due to the threat, but the SpokesFrsonsaid that even though most of the threats are false, the students will always be evacuated.

Money is being made from our own lives and we share no part of the profits. ‘You make money auf of me, I want a cut!” exclaimed de Norcia Several methods of safeguarding some privacy are available to the individual, di Nor& pointed out. l Never give your phone number when purchasing with your credit card. l Never give your social insurance number (SIN) unless the law requires it. (Only three groups can legally request your SIN employers, government agencies, With and financial institutions. regards to the last group on this list, di Norcia sees a problem with this law.) Information has become a commodity, and thus there must be a fair exchange. Thus, di Norcia advises the individual to “refuse as much information as possible.” Our own university did not escape unscathed, During the question and answer sasion, the right of the university to deliver automatically the academic records of students was questioned as a possible invasion of privacy. Di Norcia concluded his talk with a somewhat positive outlook. Referring to the Organization of Economic Community and Development’s (OECD) recently deveIoped guidelines for the information collecting branches of governments, he believes that the same guidelines should apply for big business. These include, among other things, limits on the amount of information allow@ to be collected, ways of checking for data accuracy, open collection and known practices, and accountability of the collecting agency for the information. The fact that we live in a highly complex information age cannot be denied. Di Norcia’s lecture provided the first step in realizing a way of under&&cling such a system. The transgressions on our personal privacy have already been massive, but such lectures begin the necq steps of coutiemcting our loss d power. n’ Di Nor& ended his lecture with a quote from the A~s&$ian judge MiclGel Kirby, chair of the OECD commission: ‘The hare of technorogLy races ahead. The tortoise of legal protection dawdles amess, lost, bewikkred, far wd.”

,:.y NEW BE’)s Box Spring, Mattress,Legs -Rail-a-way ........................ Single ............................ Double.. ....................... Queen In the early 1960’s, researchers at the university of California at Davis developed a mech,anicd dmato harvester - a wonderful machinecapable of harvesting tomatoes at 13 miles per hour. Because normal tomatoes would be sauced at such speeds, fellow scientists developed a “new and improved”variety of tomato able to withstand such punishment It was hard, square, and simultaneous ripening, allowing the harvester to be used to its maximum eff%iency. Is this yet another tale of scientists developing technology to better the human condition? In our world, where values of efficiency and rationality reign, the answer would appear to be yes. But these technological developments drastically altered the nature of tomato farming in California. At a cost of $200,000 U.S. per tomato harvester, this machine reduced the number of tomato farms from 4000 to 600, wib far&y farms being among to the first to go. Plastic gondolas carrying 12 tons of square tomatoes made the conventional 50 pound boxes obsolete. Eighteen thousand farm workers lost their jobs. Ironically, after all was said and done, tomato prices rose twice as fast as other vegetables! Was the public served? The Californian courts ruled no. It was found that the University of California failed to “represent the public interest.” A small initial investment from farm equipment manufacturers directed research toward the narrow interests of the large farms.
Today, as governments cut funding to academic research p@&e funding, especially from industry, ti play an ever-larger and important role. How does this corporate influence affect the direction, or bias of the research work being done? What research is not unqer- , taken as a result? Which may benefit the public to a greater extent? In the case of agriculture, biotechnology research gets funding left, ri t and centre, but has research into nitrogen fertilizers T?een supported to the same extent? Is longer term research suffering because it is based on slower financial returns? As the percentage of industry funded research increases, w$l the free exchange of views and active collaboration the growth of science be thwarted? As the knowledge developed with private funds becomes private property, delays on disclosure of results and even bans on publication will become common place. There could be safeguards again@ the worst of these scenarios. But these require carefully thought out university policies. Are you apprehensive about the ultimate impact of corporate funding on academic research? Come to a participative debate on the resoIution entitled “Private investment in academic research must end!” It takes place Tuesday, January 23 at 12:30 in Physics 150.

One October morning, Jo Davis took VIA rail to Toronto. The train was late - surprise and Jo Davis began to ask why. Since then, Davis’ questioning has lead far beyond checking train schedules, Davis has just released. a paperback on VIA rail, entitled “Not A Sentimental
Journey.” The book is intended as an expose uf behind-the-scenes at VIA rail, and as a call to arms to the Canadian public, to stop the cuts. So far, Davis has not been pleased with the press coverage she has received on her book. She gave an exclusive interview to the Toronto Star last week, and as of Wednesday 17 it had not been published. Next week, Imprint will be featuring an interview with Davis, as well as a look at her oook.

Feminism equals drudgery
by Susan Lynn Women in the Soviet Union have had legislation guaranteeing their equality since 1917. Are they in of losing this under danger Glasnost? This is just one of the issues tackled in a seminar held at W&id Laurier University last Monday. Sociology and political science students gathered in the Paul Martin Centre to hear Ester Reiter and Meg Luxton speak on their experiences in the Soviet Union, the mind set they found there, and whatperestfkka and ghsnost mean to these women. The Soviet Union proclaims equal rights for women. And, indeed, it looks like they have them, said Reiter and Luxton. They have equal access to nearly all trades and professions, guaranteed equal pay for equal work, and a variety of other guaranteed rights for women. But what does this really give them? Reiter and Luxton say it’s the right to an eighty hour work week. Men in the Soviet Union have 50 per cent more leisure time than homen. Is it any wonder then that women want to get rid of this notion of “equality” and become less ernancipated? expressed their Both speakers amazement at the mind set among Soviet women. The mere mention of feminism brought angered mutters into the conversation. To the average Soviet female, equalib, emancipation, and feminism all equate to work

devastated economy, emphasis was placed on building their military force and industrial base, the presenters said. Their consumer -sector, however, was basically ignored. The result is long lines, poor service and a lack of energy-saving devices in the home. Soviet women are adversely tiected by this because they are responsible for buying the groceries, clothing the children, and cleaning the house. When faced with these obligations, they feel unable to accept the prom&ns that would impr&e the& position at work. Forty per cent of skilled Russian women work as unskil1ed labour, an enormously high percentage when compared to the mere six per cent of Russian males who work below their skill level. Inequalities run rampant in a country that has had legislated equality for over 70 years, Luxton said. Abortions are legal, and have been since 1921, but the conditions for them are unsanitary and unsafe. Birth control is legal, but hard to come by; condoms are washed and rewashed because it is believed that a little protection is better than none. The Soviet Union speaks of equality but does little to put the theory into practice, Reiter said. What,‘then, will perestroika and gh12ost mean to Soviet women?

sector is due to be improved. Glus~~ost - is encouraging communication between the East and the West, and as a result new feminist theories are entering the Soviet Union and small women’s groups are starting to emerge.
With discussions of laboul sharing, improved household devicl:s, and joint child-rearing, Soviet women are beginning to demand relief from the double-burden of their present lives and a. right to true equality, not just equality on paper.
Trends bf the 90’s Brian Meloche and Douglas Grant Special to Imprint
On Tuesday, January 16, Dr. Larry Smith of the economics department spoke to over 200 people at a WW Entrepreneurs’ Club meeting. He discussed what he saw as the big trends of the 1990s and how we can become prepared for the future. The following is a summary of the six trends Smith outlined:

The answer is, at best, uncertain, Reiter and Luxton believe. Women ready to turn their backs on emancipation and take up a traditional role. This view is echoed by Soviet males and Gorbachev himself; he touches lightly on women’s issues in his book Perestroika, speaking of “returning women to their seem
1) Leadership/ Vision Gap Modem organizations are marked by chaos and lack effective goal setting and planning. Organizations require leadership and forward vision to survive, especially in the 90s. 2) Growth of Anti-Science Movement - Science and technology advances will continue more rapidly in the 90s. As a result, opposition toward this technology will increase dramatically. Stronger pressures to stop animal experimentation is an example. Entrepreneurs and organizations won’t be able to ignore the anti-science sentiment.

You can make a diff,erence by Michael H. Clifton Imprintstaff Dr. Roger Downer, UW’s vicepresident of development and alumni affairs, has great pride in the school, and a determined vision for the immediate course of its future. “I want to create an environment in which students, teachers and staff can function optimally,” he told Imprint. The term “environment” refers to all of the physical, financial, intellectua1 and cultural aspects of the university’s development, he said. The creation of it involves every one of us. The view of the development office as only a fund-raising department is an image Dr. Downer would like to eliminate. Much of his activity since he was assigned to the post in September 1989 has involved creating a better, more realistic understanding in the school. The office’s real duties include three major areas: infomiation services, alumni affairs, and development. Each of these plays an hpcwtant role in develaping the school’s image, internally and outside the school in corporate and political sectors. Influencing external sectors depends greatly on how effectively the school’s image is portrayed and realized on the inside, among faculty and especially students, Downer says. Through information services the school can promote its own achievements. Student and faculty breakthroughs and personal successes are promoted through school publications like ?71e Gazette, and elsewhere through the News Bureau’s wire service. The department also serves as a PR group, emphasizing and improving UW’s role as a member of the larger K-W community. Alumni affairs encourage; past graduates to keep in touch with the school. Dr. Downer comments proudly that “they are the university’s best ambassadors.” Nearly thirty years of UW graduates include some 60,000 members of various corporate
“political clout.” If the university’s 16,000 students and their parents wrote to Ontario Premier David Petersen expressing concern for the declining support given to educational institutions, the government would be unable to ignore their unified voice, he said. Students in UW’s engineering faculty have lead the way in presenting innovative ways to support the school. By referendum, they have committed to contribute personal funding to an engineering endowment fund. If that kind of dedication and spirit would spread throughout the university, Dr. Downer believes there would be great and radical benefits to the school as a whole.

A surcirculated to vey Dr. Downer numerous Canadian executives and professionals last year indicated that UW is “thought of favorably, and respected as innovative and resourceful at creating excellent academic programs,” he said.

As a professor and researcher, Dr. Downer also exemplifies UW’s standard of academic excellence. He has two earned doctorates, one from WO and one from Belfast, where he also earned his BSc and MSc. At 46, he also has an impressive list of over 130 publications and collaborations. His research in entomology has taken him as far as Japan, and he is a popular defender of the world’s environmental needs. He is presently continuing research into effective and enviromentally-safe insecticides, Dr. Downer feels that his role as an academic makes him an especially effective and understandtig advocate for the university’s needs.

He praised Federation president Dave Readman and Vice-president (University Affairs) Fran Wdowczyk for aU the help they gave him. During his term, Jackson will tackle that age-old question of government post-secondary funding in hopes of bettering it. “Yearafter year, the Peterson government has given us rhetoric about their commitment to post secondary education. Their funding shows they aren’t committed.” Jackson also hopes to get OSAI? revamped, improving funding for specific groups such as disabled or francophone students. “There is a general feeling that OSAP isn’t helping everyone it should,” he said. Jackson wants to see more grants, because he feels students are also graduating with extremely large debt loads. He also expects to face problems between the playoff of health care and university systems. Jackson is the first student from the University of Waterloo to be elected chairperson for OFS. His term starts in mid-June, and runs full-time until mid-May of 1991.

Tim Jackson has a reason to smile. He was just elected the chairperson for the Ontario Federation of Students. This win is especially sweet for him, as he lost out last year in the same race. Last year, he predicted he would lose to current chairperson Edith Garneau. This year he was more confident he would win, saying that he knew he had support from most schools at the recent OFS conference, during which the election was held.

UW chemistry
- centre of excellence
by Phillip Chee Imprint staff Last November, the federal government announced the creation Of 14 centres of excellence for research. The objective was to bring together academics from universities across Canada with similar research goals in order to share resources and information. By forming a number of centres each with a different focus, it wc/uld also facilitate the awarding of funds. The University of Waterloo is involved in one such group known as the Centre of Excellence for Molecutar and Interfacial Dynamics (CEMAID). Dr. James Sloan of UW’s department of chemistry is the director of one of six CEMAID “nodes.” Node directors, who coordinate the CEMAID research, are also located at UK, U of T, University of Western Ontario, University of Montreal, and University of New Brunswick. Professors John Hepburn, Robert LeRoy, Tong Leung and Terry M&Won of UW, Randolph Dumont of M&laster, and Brian Henry of Guelph are also involved in the Waterloo node. The main focus of CEMAID will be to study the dynamics of molecules in isolation, how and why they stick together in clusters, and their interactio’ns with respect to surfaces. The researchers hope to find new insights into the behaviour and properties of molecules. They are cnteiested in further develop&g the areas of spectroscopy, surface and interfacial science, and reaction dynamics (or the control of chemical reactions).‘ Two facets of this centre of excellence, are to produce highly trained researchers for industry, and to develop new hardware for analytical and process control applications for research and industry,” says Sloan In the area of spectroscopy, the are developing researchers improvements to current equipment For example, currentIy in the works is the development of a diffusion cell to improve the opticsof an infra-red spectrometer that may be applicable to a gas-chrornatograph in a forensic lab. Catalytic converters on cars is one application where surface interfacial science research can be used. Materials suspended in these converters react with the products of automobile combustion to try and reduce their damaging properties before being released into the environment. Basic research in this area aims to understand the behavior of solids, liquids and gases when they react at surfaces.
Sloan described two interesting areas of research that CEMAID funding will hopefully bring into reality in the near future. Currently he is working on a stratospheric simulation chamber that will experimentally reproduce the composition* of the ozone layer. The chamber will be used in studies hying to understand the interactions that may be depleting the ozone layer. To do this, the hardware he is developing will be able to recreate temperatures in the range of 0 to 90 degrees Celsius, pressures from 10” 25 Torr, and contain the atmospheric gases making up the ozone layer, mainly nitrogen, oxygen, and ozone itself (a molecule of three oxygen atoms). It will also have a light source to provide illumination similar to the solar spectrum. He says it is currently thought that polar stratospheric clouds (FSCs) may affect the rate of ozone depletion by CFCs in a very complicated set of interactions. PSCs are most likely small nitric acid crystals, only micrometres in diameter.

The immediate push for the publication comes from the announcement last summer of a new NSERC-SSHRC scholarship program at the master’s level for studies in science policy. Dean of arts Robin
In the future, Sloan hopes to’show industrial spin-offs” from CEMAID. He feels that this type of program “encourages us to work with our colleagues and share resources.” These centres of excellence also open up more research opportunities for graduate students.

“As for reaction dynamics, most of the time when one mixes two chemicals together, one has little control over the ensuing reaction,” notes Sloan. “Reaction dynamics involves the study of reactions to fmd out how they occur and how they can be controlled”
uses “ The government’s plan in creating centres of excellence is to ’ bring together the best people in an effort to create new industries. It believes that the most effective way to do this is to give money to the researchers who have the best chance of meeting this challenge.

Sloan says that when researchers in his general discipline learned of the lukive funding that would be available, (CEMAID will receive over $18 million over the next four years), and the chance to work with colleagues in the same field, they cametogethertodrawuPaProposal.

CSTV research The Centre for Society, Technology, and Values (STV) is looking for submissions for a directory they are compiling of UW faculty members interested in or involved in research in the STV area.
By recreating the ozone layer, these PSCs can be added to the chamber along with chlorinated compounds, and enable researchers to measure the rate of ozone depletion, determine if this rate may be increasing or decreasing, analyze the products created, and hopefully deduce what may be happening in the upper atmosphere, Dr. Sloan believes that his work will help researchers understand the dynamics of ozone depletion. Also, he is heIping to develop a light emission source that reproduces the light emitted through the ozone layer. This will be used to calibrate instruments on board satellite probes that measure the ozone layer, to be put into orbit by U.S. space shuttles.

extended deadline has been extended until everybody has had a fair chance both to learn of the project and to respond. So, if you’- in a UW department and have an interest in STV research, you should complete an information re&est form for this project, available frum your department chairperson or call the CSTV office today -8851211, ext. 6215. The first edition of the directory will be published this spring.
The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) will give $2.7 million to University of Waterloo researchers in the coming year. All of the grants fall under the federal government’s category of “strategic” grants, which apply to the research areas of energy, environmental toxicology, oceans, communications and computers, food-agriculture, biotechnology, and industrial materials and processes. This forms a fairly limited scope of study as to who is awarded the extra funding allotted to “strategic” grants. NSERC says that “research grants are awarded to individuals and groups for research expenses in support of a spectrum of research activities.” However, UW science professors RJ. LeRoy, Ralph Smith and James Sloan say that applications for grants are awarded by peer review on the basis of: the research excellence of the applicants; the quality of the research proposals; and in some programs, the relevance of research projects to. selected areas of national concern LeRoy works in theoretical chemistry of particle dynamics, Smith uses algae to study the history of lakes, and Sloan is researching the chemishy of the ozone layer. Therefore, if a researcher is not working in an “area of national concem,“according to NSERC, his or her funding will be limited. Ultimately, of course, this will coerce university researchers into undertaking
research projects aimed at understanding or solving problems in areas deemed of national concern, the researchers say. NSERC states that their largest single initiative is in operating grants. However, NSERC reports over the last ten years show that the average increase in operating grants is 7.4 per cent, compared to 7.8 per cent for strategic grants. It also illustrates what many researchers, Smith and LeRoy among them, say: targeted research is disadvantageous toward scientific studies on the whole. Strategic pants give funds to “strategic” research, which is not always equivaknt to “good” research, says LeRoy. His research could be considered to be of utmost importance to physical science, but it is not seen as a national concern Therefore, he has not been awarded the higher strategic grants. “What we are seeing here is another example of politician’s lack of perspective on ‘good’ science,” Smith says. ’ However, LeRoy adds that grants have been given to good people, especially those here at Waterloo, as the accompanying chart shows. Although the above statistics show excellent funding towards University of Waterloo resemh, researchers believe we must -not forget those scientists whose research is “good” but not “strategic!”

From the outside, the National Gallery in Ottawa is a striking edifice, in form both majestic and clean. The inside is cool, inviting, expansive. But the most impressive thing about the National Gallery is not the building itself, but the pictures hanging on its walls. The core of the gallery’s collection is made up of Canadian painting from the days of colonialism to the present, and it can stand proudly beside similar collections of national art anywhere else in the world. To be certain, the gallery can boast nothing on par with, say, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam’s cenYrepiece Nightwatch, but strolling through its halls, I found myself as satisfied and enthralled as if I’d been in the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Tate. Part of this good feeling, this “glow,” if you will, was the exuberance of discovery; names I was dimly aware of, Tom Thomson, Emily Carr, and others I had never heard, ‘Alfred Pellan, Jean-Pierre Riopelle, were all represented with vibrant, inventive, stunning work. Riopelle’s vigorous, colourfu~ Parune (1954) looked like a helicopter ride over a recently bombed city. Charles Comfort’s huge Romnrrcr @V&e1 (1937) was more than a match for the New Deal-esque “Progress Though Techno1ogy” muraIs which only Americans like Thomas Hart Benton seem to be good at. Comfort’s intelligent use of earth tones throughout the painting was especially impressive. Entry to each section of the gallery revealed something new, unfolding a wide and varied

history of arhuork. Judging by the dates on the name tags, the works reflected international innovations in art and events in Canada and around the world as well, especially as they affected Canadians. But, from the earliest works to the most recent, many of the paintings also exuded a distinctly Canadian quality. Some showed vast expanses of seemingly untouched land. Others were austere, crisp (like Lawren Harris’s), almost harsh, reflecting the character of so much of the Canadian landscape. 1 realized, thinking about it later, that this “Canadianess” of so many of the works was in fact an introspective quality. This observation is not mine; Robertson Davies, writing in Harpuri last January, used it to describe the Canadian national character as compared to the extroverted American character, when writing about free tiade. These Canadian paintings were thoughtful. Even at their most garish, like Pellan’s On ne Beach, with its patchwork surface of loony patterns, they displayed an inward-looking, almost parochial quality. As we crossed the river to Hull, going toward the Canadian Museum of Civilization, I was thinking of this collection of work at the gallery, and of it6 (to my mind, at least) very distinctive Canadian flavour. It was still in my thoughts when we went into the Native Art exhibition room at the Museum. Here I received a most extraordinary surprise. The works are arranged chronologically, so if you walk through the room in a counterclockwise direction, you start with the earliest and end with the most recent. Much of the latter had been painted since 1980, and presented a stark contrast to the proceeding stuff, most-of which was typical Native art; sinuous, colorful, organic shapes in the form of eagles, bears and other things (an overly simplistic summary, to be sure). The contemporary Native art was quite different It was bitter, full of allusions to the India&plight, sporting a wide range of styles and colours. Carl Beam’s large M&down (1984) combines images of alienation and scraps of text, much of it in footlocker stencil font, alluding symbolically to the stifling
in which we have no genuine interest, and with which we have no real desire to merge, we help to perpetuate the hammerlock that the rich have on the poor. To hold someone in high esteem and respect, you must respect yourself first. A hackneyed truth, to be certain, but what is obviously true for individuals may be, in a subtle way, true for nations as well. A nation must have a co11ective sense of self, an unders’tanding of its history and its achievements, and an awareness of its faults, if it is to flourish, Concomitant with this self-

bureaucracy which has been the bane of the Indian’s existence. In Thu UI1iuecYeIs Su Big The white Mm Keeps Me On My Rexrvatiun (1987), Lawrence Paul applies Dali-like distortion to familiar Native motifs, creating a nightmare landscape of cultural oppression Bob Boyer paints directly on a woolen blanket, again combining images which allude to, rather than directly comment on, the government’s attitudes towards the Natives, in his Government Blanket Policy (1983). Blake Debassige shows a tree on which a man has been crucified in Tke Of L@ (1983). Both the tree and the man appear to be near death; both are thin and fraiL But the tree still supports life. Animals caper about on its branches, birds fly around. The painting is primarily hopeful, suggesting that the earth, ravaged as it may be by the hanky plague, can still be saved. This eco-centric commentary was, at times biting: one sculpture had a cheap, rusty school child’s globe with a tap drilled into it, draining blue plastic ribbons of water into a foul, old commode. The work of Jane Ash Poitras (her bright face, on the cover of Now magazine last summer, makes her look as thbugh someone just told her she’d just won a lottery)‘ can be evocative, as in Cree Ribbon Shin’ (1982), a monoprint etching depicting fragments of writing and strips of coloured ribbon.

years or so, represents possibly the greatest threat to the future of our planet and our species. Innovations in transportation and communication have cheapened the concept of culture; the West now worships at the altar of globalism, and a new dawn has been foretold, when the world, linked economically, will embrace and revel in an unheard of pluralism, a vast World Culture, marching together under the banner “Unity Through Tolerant Diversity”. Peace shall reign. Such a forecast should be regarded, I think, with deep suspicion, not because such an arrangement would be undesirable but rather, because it will be easy to convince people we are moving in such a direction, when we are actually moving in the opposite one. This deception will be easy because most Westerners (more specifically, most North Americans) do not understand the meaning or significance of culture. If they did, it would probably be a simple matter for them to see that, as things are arranged today, glob&m equals Western economic and cultural hegemony. By gobbling up the scraps (Le. rai music) of cultures

knowledge is an understanding that other nations have the same cultural baggage; thus, if we value our own heritage, we will value that of other nations. This sort of respect would go a long way toward helping to end neo-colonialism and North-South dependency. The end of oppression begins at home, not while ,filling a two-year CUSO contract. The Left hasn’t figured this out (or, more appropriately, hasn’t admitted it) because, as Orwell pointed out, it is fighting against something’ it really doesn’t want to destroy. As the new social paradigm of globalism is crammed down our throats with increasing igour, respect for national cuIture will be labelled as xenophobia and chauvinism. But a respect for and understanding of our art till help US to respect and understand our history, to value it. Only when we have done this can we treat other nations with respect. This includes nations within our own state boundaries, nations of native peoples, for etimple. The Beatles are regarded by many as an important Western cultural institution. But just the other night, I saw a TV ad for McCartney’s present tour, which ended with the aged Paul doing some strange pompous rock ‘n’ roll gesture, frozen in time, the Visa logo glowing in its finery in front of him. The sight was revolting and sad; a respected cultural icon co-opted by big business. The implications are staggering, and the death of history is nigh. Francis Fukuyama, deputy director of the US. State Department, has predicted the end of history; a post-historical epoch in which Western liberalism shall -*n. Without memory, without history, damage will be unending. Our art helps us to remember, and it should not be ignored.
Woods Cree R4tunz tu theL.und ufAncient Mmcash from Deserted Wooded Houses (1986) is a colorful but bitier fantasy of escape, of return to the land. The heads of trendy art world dilettantes probably swim with thumbnail definitions of postmodemism when they see these paintings, but the works display a depth and a bitterness which stultifies even the deepest post-industrial information-age ennui. The artists convey a sense of loss which speaks not of some present condition, but of a great hisand injustice, of genocide torical culturecide. That the Museum of Civilization is showing these paintings indicates, I think, a genuine commitment to make Canadians aware, in some way, of the plight of the Natives. Having established this awareness, it is only a small step for people to learn more about native culture themseIves. 1 The works at the National Gallery are just as valuable. Canada is middle aged as a modem state, but as a nation, it is still in an early embryonic stage. Part of that which solidifies nationhood is a body of artifacts, like paintings, which give the nation’s members a sense of history and respect for their territory. Why is this important? The debasement of culture and nationhood, as a piding force in our lives and our society over the last100

Jamming to a sold-out show, the boys in the band were in top form.‘ 1 caught up with singer Gordon Downie afterwards. Downie: Tonight’s show had a lot of energy. We played Western in London last night and had a good response, but the stage here is much bigger and so are the surroundings. Imprint: Your latest album, Up to Here, was produced by Don Smith, who has worked with some big names: Keith Richards, the Rolling Stones - how did you come to work with him? Downie: Well, we really liked the work Llm has done in the past, so Bruce Dickerson at MCA put us in touch with him. HP said yes, so we went down to Ardtmt studios in Memphis, Tennessee and recorded the album in five weeks. Imprint: That must have been intense work laying down all the
stumbled, as if by accident, into the pigeonhole of alternative music. How refreshing, how liberating to at long last see rockers with long hair (along with UIC and 13 Engines) who don’t look as though their hairdressers are on their regular payroll. How refreshing, too, to see an opening band get a fair shake from the usually aloof Fed Hall crowd whose law of etiquette dictates against venturing near the dance floor until Bizqre Law Ttiff~gk is played. Basic English’s brand of
chance: Basic English’s 40 minute set was filled with originals. If they didn’t exactly sound original, all harkening back to post-Yardbirds/ prepsychedelic garage rock, they were well-stocked with verve and tunefulness. The tunes have always been there, though; what Basic English have added is showmanship. On their lasi trip through these parts, they played a hard enough set, but shyly, coyly introduced songs and made prattling small talk to a largely reticent crowd. This time, their confidence and assured musicianship quickly bridged the caverfious gap of the dance floor separating them from their audience. One gets the feeling that The Tragically Hip are poised on the brink of something massive. Radio programmers and record company executives have steered the music industry away from tough, raw guitars. They have completeIy ignored a hungry market for grimy, bare-bones rockwnd roll, a market The Tragically Hip are more than willing and capable of satisfying. I
In spite of the uniform excellence of Up To Here, their first full-length album, their metier is clearly the live forum. Solidly mid-70s Aerosmithlike songs (I’ll italics Irr You) and southern rock, veering toward REM with its muted harmonies and jangle (Evcry~ime You G’cj and Whw Th ?ti$$r Cornc3 Do~jrl) missed the Waterloo turnoff and chugged down the 401 clear down to Detroit (ca. 1969) when rock ‘n’ rollers were raging, ugly behemoths like The Stooges and MC5. So it wasn’t surprising that they really kicked out the jams when they got around to playing the already grinding, ful some HOW Al Hij$ Dough and fVc*l O&W~~S I Sitrkiag. Imagine a dance floor filled with longhairs in lumberjack shirts slamming to a song that, frankly, wouldn’t be the least bit out of place in a Rolling Stones set were it not that menopause has all but depleted the testosterone stocks of Mick and the boys. The crowd was having almost as much fun as singer God Downie. After banging the microphone into hit; teeth (which I doubt, given the state Downie was in, caused him much, pain), he tap danced offs&e wearinga daemonic death grin of Mansonic proportions.

In a year in which a number of 60s fossils long given up for dead - Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Lou Reed for starters - have released their best albums in at least a decade by retuming to their roots, Michelle Shocked has decisively given her acoustic guitar the toss on Captain Swing. Her third album pays tribute to the apocryphal Captain Swing with an appropriately brash, brassy ensemble, but at the expense of the immediacy and intimacy of her previous LPs: a sparseness and smallness which has always made her approachable. Where we could actually hear the crickets in the field accompanying Michelle’s jittery voice, acoustic guitar, and storyteIling on The Texas Campfire Tapes, we now hear all manner of swing and Dixieland paraphernalia blaring away in full regalia. As big as Michelle’s voice is, it can’t help but be dwarfed by the arrangements. It’s not a problem of authenticity indeed, for much of Captain Swing, Michelle makes a credible stab at playing the jazz vocalist standing in the spotlight in front of Tommy Dorsey’s big band to a crowd of champagne-tipping tuxedos. It just sounds too glib; Str=&omer Ambmudor, for one, has an eye for detail, characterization, and street narrative worthy of Lou Reed or Tom Waits, which is entirely glossed over when she scurries to keep up with the jive-skitter of the vibes.

I’ve read a lot of reviews of this album already, and I have to agree with most of them. Crossroads is a disappointment, in that it is too much like her brilhant debut release, Tracy Chapman. Sure, Tracy Chapman is young and this is just her second album, but 1988 must have been a maturing year for her, touring with superstars Sting, Peter Gabriel, and Bruce Springsteen for Amnesty, and I thought that her newest stuff would reflect that. Franklv, it doesn’t.
On this album, as on her first, Chapman’s strong suit comes with her love songs, much more than with her political or social ones. Sometimes one of her songs is just the best expression situation.

by Chris Reid Imprint staff At one time there was a certain amount of anticipation for the release of a new Rush album. Unfortunately that anticipation has ebbed recently with a string of seemingly obligatory, compromising studio albums and the addition of a third lifeless live album to their catalogue. So it was with mixed emotions that I picked up Presto, their latest effort. First, the bad news. Since their’ incorporation of the keyboard as a dominant instrument, Geddy Lee’s proficiency has not progressed and the album is occasionally layered with the same, tired synth riffs that have plagued the last few albums. Drummer/lyricist Neil Peart has produced some of the most illustrative lyrics of the progressive rock era, and has subsequently penned some strong social observations in the early eighties. But he has now turned to unoriginal eenvironmental cliches, unresolved ideas and, in the case of Anagram, verbal self-indulgences that aren’t consistent with his past
He either recoils at its flakiness and art-pop pretentiousness, or embraces with open ears the atmospheric swaths painted with sounds from Kate’s Fairlight palette. A centrist position is probably the wisest. Like Prince or Talking Heads, Bush’s output has been uneven, usually goocl, occasionally brilliant, but with its fair share of miscues and false starts. The Sensual World, unfortunately, is a little top-heavy with these latter demons. The record is well-crafted and shows a few bright spots (descriptions to follow), but it’s stained with a streamlined mediocrity which may give devotees cause for despair. The biggest disappointment is the title track, mysteriously pumped up by the British music press as a fine return to form. To my ears, 77ze SensuaZ Whld is the tiger trap of ponderous, aimless musicianship into which Bush has finally fallen (after teetering on the edge for the length of
brilliance. These faults are trivial, however, beside the quality af the music overall. Rush followers are sure to appreciate the band’s strongest guitar work since Moving Pictures (1981). Alex Lifeson’s role has been mostly limited to absurd powerchords and a reliance on effects, but he now returns to the forefront with convincing performance on songs like Superconductor and Available Light. HE even resorts to an acoustic guitar on the Cinderella Man-like title track. Geddy Lee’s bass is predictably solid and technically unequalled in the rock field. His vigorous bassline in Scam is nicely complemented with his syncopated duet with Neil Peart in the solo section of Show tin 1 Tell. With the possible exception of Tony Levin and Bill Bruford, Rush possess rock’s most consistently innovative and experimental rhythm sections, a claim strongly reinforced by their powerful contrasts and offbeat choruses on Available Light Of course, there’s Geddy’s voice. No longer does it sound like Robert Plant on helium (for the most part) as it did in the early to mid-seventies. It has been toned down noticeably, and credit should go to producer Rupert Hine (former Saga producer) who actually manages to harmonize with Lee on occasion. With this effort, Rush is certainly as stable musically as they’ve ever been. Traditionally, with each new release, a tour has been promised, and according to Alex Lifeson, Rush should be in the States in February and “around here (Toronto) in March.” So enjoy the album and the tour. Rush is bac,k on track.

Redemption comes soon enough, though, as Kate rips through bve and Anger, a roiling mess ofI. traditional instruments punctuated by Leave Gilmour’s wide slashes of guitar. Side
one closes well with Heuds I+@Dance, limber pop with a moderately catchy sing-along chorus. The second side is bracketed by the album’s best songs. Deeper UndtLrstanding is awash in the harmonies of some vocal group called Trio Bulgarka, who manage to jam Kate into the background while she sings about her love affair with her computer. Beautiful. At the end of the record, Kate’s piano wanders into l7zi.r Woman’s Work, written for John Hughe’s movie She > Having a Baby. Here, Bush’s songwriting ability is laid bare, and it glows quite nicely; delicate like spun sugar, the music caresses her vocals with tangible sensitivity. Nothing on this album has the vitality of The Kick Inside or The Dreaming. Bush’s last album held great promise, but bad omens as well. It’s unfortunate the latter were accurate; The Sensual W&d, despite some high points and fine songwriting is, in the end, a step backward. Kate Bush and her music have always been closely associated, ceruinly more than, say, LOU C;ramm -

Heart Unfortunately, this Lp lapses into even more mellow AM sentimentality than does Collins’ earlier work. Fatherto Son is the only decent one of the lot. He also enlists the help of David G&y, Steve Winwood, and Eric Clapton on one song each, but their presence is undetectable without a credits list . Collins’ only significant change is lyrics to it couple of songs Coluurs and nut’s Just the Wa&vIt Zs, ‘in which he tries to advance some social or political themes. Co/ours is the most vocal of these two, with inane words like “How can’ you really think you can take your horse down to the water, hold a gun to his head, and make, him drink.” Forgive me for being cyniad when this, the extent of Collins’ political complexity, is accompanied by his usual lush
Another album, another picture of Phil’s face keyboards and jazzed-up horns and percussion. But, heck, if he can reach the masses with any sort of message at all, it’s probably an improvement over the status quo. Another Day in Paradise, All of My L$e, and Samething Happened on the Way to Heaven are hackneyed, cliched,. and exasperating even for a Phil Collins album. And the last couple of songs, Do You Remember? and I wr’sh It Would Rain Lbwn are borderline. In the past, Collins has been able to disguise lack of lyrical content with great tunes. This time, he takes a stab at some powerful lyrics, but simply fails. And the similarity of many of the tunes makes all of side B pointless.

by Michael Salovaam Ilqeint staff Connie Kaldor is a folk singersongwriter based in Winnipeg who is “caught by the human element in any issue.” However, she does not see herself as a spokesperson for any particular cause. Her goal is to “lift people out of their lives for a couple of hours and make them feel good with a bunch of other people” and maybe give them the strength “to tackle all those things that + . . I alone cannot do,” Her latest album Gentle of Heart is unfortunately not as illuminating as her noble goals.
I have heard Kaldor do better musically on her other albUmS. Maybe it was the mixing, the producer, or spilt coffee on the control board. Whatever the reason, I expect better on the next album and I hope her band is r&t so lethargic.

The album does contain excellent songwriting, but the music arrangement detracts from a voice that, although powerful and full of promise, does not deliver the goods. Take the song Rage Inside for example; here is a song with lyrics that demand emotion and power, not mediocrityThe music provides a backdrop that gets in the way of the song. Something like house music, but not as hopeless. There are songs which ‘do stand out. The title tqk i$ an indication of what Kaldor is capable of producing.

Aack! A poncey supergroup! New Order’s Bernard Sumner, Ex-Smith Johnny Marx, and guest Pet Shop Boy Neil Tennant conspire to create the firstgreat nice record of the 90s.
Tis’ a nice thing too, the three of them standing around in their afterdinner jackets, sipping scotch, singing: “It’s plain to see, I love you more than you love tie,” and that wonderful chorus: “Getting away w-&h it, all my life - getting away with it.” What are they on about? Who cares?! The whole thing reads like a recipe on New Order’s tombstone. The first big laugh of the ’90s is Sumner flubbing the first line, making his vocal shortcomings painfully obvious. Tennant to the rescue and it’s painless from there on. The synths are pure milksop New Order, and will sell this unit by the truckload. The instrumental, Lucky Bag, should nestle ~itself into the hearts and pants of DJs everywhere. Gee Wally, it’s not a kick-ass dance record, more of a friendly-pat one, and that makes me feel all creepy.

The tight-lipped grin of singer/ guitarist R&ert Palmer reflects a solo music career that has calmly and quietly cut its fair share of popularity. After eight albums spanning 11 years, Palmer packs 13 of his best known singles into his latest vinyl release “Addicths” Volume 1. Palmer reminisces as far back as his first hit Every Kinda &ople from the inventive debut album Double Fun.

“Take the third fashion campaign, out of nowhere these Ordinaires suddenly appeared wielding a warped no-wave sensibility, laying waste to the landscape. One minute they were flying the banner of minimalist avant classical, the next they’d sport the uniform of the committed post punk jazz-bo. “If you can’t pin it down, how can you fight it? You can’t. Where do you begin? When you’ve penetrated one level of irony, you find another right beneath - in a war of ideas, the perfeet armor. “Take that version of Kashmir; on the surface a fairly straight cover, but Led Zeppelin? Are they serious? Do they mean it? What if they do, what if they don’t? Does it change anything?

III the end we went down without much of a fight. We’d been trapped in the classic conspiracist’s paradox; we’d learned so much about the enemy that we’d become the enemy.” A pall of smoke hangs over the scene of battle. Complete ideologies lie broken on the sand, tattered remnants of once invincible paradigms wave slowly in the wind. We turn away as a veil is dropped over this grisly tableau. The sleeper stirs and wakes, was it real? Was it a dream or will the future really be an endless series of inconelusive skirmishes? Maybe the answer can be found at the Bombshelter on Friday, January 26 when the Ordinaires drop by to declare whose side they’re really on.

Ardeleana by Mavis Dixon Imprint staff The lunchtime concert at Conrad GrebeI College on Wednesday, January 10 was a gentle reintroduction to a fresh term of free concerts at the CGC Chapel. The Ardeleana Trio, composed of flute, cello, and piano, gave a varied and competent performance of the works of George Frederich Handel, Rudolf Kelterborn, Jean Micheal Damase and Conrad GrebeI’s oivn C;rrdl Ann* Weaver. ’ The trio eased into motion with Handel’s Sonata in E mall There was some excellent ensemble pIayirlg in the Grave and Adagio. They maintained the aura of constrained elegance associated with Handel’s music throughout these movements. Unfortunately, their spirited interpretation of the second Allegro sacrificed the melody for a flurry of notes. Kelterborn’s Funf Fantcrsim was an effectively contrasting second piece. The trio strove for emotional density in this contemporary “expressionistic” piece. The playing in the first fantasy conveyed yearning, aggression and pleading. Switching to a te.chnically intricate second movement, the trio made the most of the unusual rhythms and the complicated interplay. The suspense of the third and fifth fantasies suffered from the technical weaknesses of the trio.
Trio Carol AM Weaver’s 0tter Frolic was introduced with a poem by Judith Miller. Pianist Bonnie Shevan Jeffries established a delicate, watery atmosphere punctuated by the breathy gasps of the flute and cello (Laurie Glencross, Brenda McInney). Wonderful ensemble playing made this piece stand out. The rollicking dialogue between cello and flute/ piano bounced into a brief “minimalist” piano solo and returned to a funky trio treatment of various rhythms. After the concert one audience member was overheard referring to Ofler Fmlic as an accessible contemporary piece and, played with the infectious spirit of the Ardeleana Trio, it proved to be the highlight of the concert. The trio could have chosen a better cIosing piece than the cliched Sonm en Coizcerp by Damase. I grew tired with this conventional and thoroughly predictable piece within the first movement. Thankfully, the trio did not schmaltz up the unbearably sentimental themes. It seemed that they would have been better to have quit while they were ahead. FutureCGCChapel12:30 concerts will be held January 24 (New Music of Carol Ann Weaver), February 7 (Performance Art Concert), February 28 (New Music Concert) and March 14 (Early Baroque Music).

Ten years in the making, director Oliver Stone’s epic Born on the Fourth of July tells the true story of Vietnam marine veteran Ron Kovic and his extraordinary experiences in Vietnam and back home in America, Tom Cruise is masterful in the IeGd, capturing the grimier side of a war that still divides Americans. Cruise takes us through a typical boyhood in Massapequa, N.Y. Born and raised on apple pie and the American flag, Ronnie.Kovic rushes into the Marine Corps to fight in Vietnam and become a man. The all-American euphoria ends there. The rest of the film captures the darker side of American i&oIvement in Vietnam and the disgraceful treatment of returned veterans. As a paraplegic, Kovic becomes embittered and disillusioned, eventually turning his back on everything h& ever believed in. He becomes a fiery, outspoken critic of the war.

a macho all-American kid Iike Cruise could play such a role without looking “Un-American.” The film’s weaknesses are readily apparent but not fatal. For instance, the film feels about a decade late in arriving. Many of Cruise’s fans are too young to remember the climactic events of the early 1970s when Kovic achieved prominence. Also, one is left wondering what happened to Kovic after 1976, when Born 017 the Fourth of Ju@ ends its account. The film also lacks continuity. One is never quite convinced of Cruise’s remarkable transformation. It all happens so quickly on the silver screen that it seems unconvincing, Born on the Fourth ofJu(v is powerful, but not the equal of Stone’s earlier film Platoon. Nonetheless, this controversial film may. be more irnDor1 tant. It is already receiving a lot of attention from Vietnam veterans and 1960s protesters who still feel animosity toward one another.

“A Novelist’s Autobiography” is ’ the subtitle for this book; consider yourself warned. Certainly, no one can question Philip Roth’s credentials as a novelist. Since the publication of Goodbye CoZumbus in the late ‘5Os, Roth has been one of the best-known and most important American writers. His credits include such novels as My Lifr as a Man, Ltting Go and the much-‘ acclaimed Zuck&man trilogy. Much of Roth’s work is autobiographical, but ayer thirty
years of fictionalizing his life, he’s finally decided to provide his admirers with a limited account of his life and career. Nonetheless, he remains wary of giving away too much, as evidenced by the terse title of his autobiography. Roth is fairly generous with the details of his childhood and young adulthood - his parents, his Jewish upbringing, his university years. After that, though, he becomes increasingly reticent. He does speak with candor about his disastrous first marriage to a neurotic wife, but beyond that, there’s a dearth of really meaningful content. Of course, writers have never been the sort to lead the most fascinating of lives, which explains why books like this are useful to diehard fans only. Roth’s reflections on his Jewishness and literary approach will-only really be relevant to someone who has devoured his fiction.

It was another four-point weekend for the Warrior hockey squad as they improved their record to 10-2-l to stay three points behind the first place Laurier Golden Hawks. Friday night, they pleased the Icefield crowd with a physical 6-3 win over Brock, and Sunday tightened up for a 7-l rout of Laurentian in Sudbury. On Friday night at the Icefield, Calgary Flames coach Terry Crisp was in attendance to watch his son Tony score a goal and an assist against Brock- The Warriors’ Crisp was one of many team members to contribute offensively that night, along with TJW’s top scorer of the game, John Dietich, who notched a pair of goals and an assist. But the offence wasn’t the story, as both teams seemed determined to establish physical supremacy over each other. Ken Buitenhuis opened the scoring for Waterloo early in the first period, taking a pass from Crisp. The home team maintained this lead until just past the halfway point of the period when Brock tied it up on a pdwerpla y. This goal seemed to be the wakeup call for the Warriors, as they shook off the cobwebs and scored five unanswered goals, starting with two consecutive scores by Dietrich. He assisted on the next goal, the first of three with the man-advantage.

lead for a brief moment at the 12 minute mark, before Troyak went on a six-point bucket binge. The ,Warriors led 56-52 with 8:48 left on the clock. McMaster scra’mbled to a onepoint deficit with two minutes to go but couldn’t take over, as the Waterloo defence built a wall in the dying moments td pull away for the 71-64 win. Saturday afternoon was an off day for the Warrior sharpshooters against CIAU <third ranked Western. Waterloo had improved all aspects of play, compared to the nightmare at Windsor, ‘but for some reason the ball would not drop into the basket, disappointing the 3000 plus Warrior faithful, McCrae echoed the play of his team in the game. “We took Western out of a lot of things but we couldn’t return with the points,” said McCrae. “Offensively, we were terrible inside 15, but our perimeter game kept it close.” The win for the Mustangs put them at 2-O in league play and 16-1 including exhibit ion. Their only loss came at the hands of a Toronto club team made up of former OUAA all-stars. “We got off to a good start and built on it,” commented Western skipper Doug Hayes. “Waterloo chopped into our lead for a while but we kept our composure.” Waterloo captain Troyak led all scorers with 25 points and 11 rebounds in iagrueling?~ &.nu~e workout. Teammate Braley put forth a tireless 38 minute effort, gollecting 11 points and an iniredible 17 rebounds. The Warriors shot a troublesome 30 $ercext from the field. Luckilfla UW, Mustang AllCanadian John ?%efelmeyer had a quiet day, nailing only 18 points and snatching five rebounds. Team quarterback James Green nabbed 21 points, going ‘/-for-l1 from the hardwood and a flawless y-for-7 at
the gift box, Collectively, the Mustangs potted a satisfactory 57 percent from the floor and an incredible 82 percent on free throws. The first six minutes of action was end-to-end, as the two teams equalled each other basket for basw. Then the Warriors statted t@wing up bricks, allowing the more accurate Mustangs to pull ahead. After a trey by Stiefelmeyer and a couple of cliffhangers by Green, the Mustangs led 30-16 with 5:49 left in the opening half. A Waterloo timeout didn’t cure the problem. Western began to show why they are nationally ranked outscoring the comatose Warriors 12-6 to take an insurmountable 42-22 lead at the half. An early second half surge, highlighted by a turnaround jump shot and a trey by Troyak
brought the Warriors within a respectable margin - 44-33 at 16:39. The ten-point spread stayed constant for the next seven minutes, but then rigormortis started setting in on the Warriors once again. Western toughened up on defence and stayed consistent in the front court, outscoring their mortar-tossing counterparts 136 in a span of five minutes. As the final three minutes fell from the clock, the ‘Stangs steamrolled ahead to win 72-52. The next action for the Warriors will be thi? Saturday night when they take a trip to St. Catharines to play Brock. Waterloo travels up highway 7 on Wednesday, January 24 for an 8 o’clock game against the Guelph Gryphons, and then returns home on the following Saturday for a rematch with Windsor.

Athenas skid to A? I O-5 in league play -* \
by Rich Nichol Imprint staff If the Waterloo basketball Athenas do not get a win soon, their 0-5 record could snowball into a long losing skid. Last season, the injury plagued Athenas limped through twelve straight losses before winning their final two games of the season. ’ One of the reasons why Waterloo sits in the cellar of the OWIAA West division is that they have started with, arguably, the toughest schedule in the entire league. Waterloo was thumped by Western (ranked 9th n tionally) 73-40 in London on S 2 turday, January 13, and sucbed to powerful McMaster
ranked McMaster and Western were too powerful for the Athenas
,CIAU
Waterloo was reluctant to travel to Preppyville to play the Mustangs after they thrashed Waterloo in their previous bout, 79-54, here at the PAC. The fear showed, as Western dominated play in the early going, acquiring a 10-O lead in the first four minutes. he Athenas had all sorts of opportunities but could not cut into
the deficit throughout the rest of the game. In comparison to their the Athenas imlast outing, proved their game tremendously but could not capitalize in the front co.urt. “It is incredible that we outshot Western and yet our shooting percentage was so low,” commented Waterl’oo head coach Leslie Dal Cin. “You can’t win games if you can’t get the ball in the basket.” Dal Cin hit the nail on the head. Waterloo shot a horrific 30 percent from the field and were outrebounded 36-12, a mindboggling stat. In comparison, the Mustangs nailed 52 percent from the hardwood. Western forward Debbie Kraemer led all shooters with 20 points and 10 rebounds, canning 8-for-11 from the floor and a-for5 at the line. First-year teammate Claudia DeJulio collected 18 points and ripped down eight re-bounds. The top scorer for the Athenas was rookie sensation Sara Bradley, who sank 14 points, going T-for-12 from the field. Waterloo veteran forward Michelle McCrory also added to the team’s totals with ten points. This past Wednesday, the McMaster basketball juggernaut was just too powerful for the Athetias to stop. Waterloo fell behind early and could not keep pace with the scorching hot Mac squad. The Marauders hooped a standard 47 percent
from the field and 67 percent at the charity stripe. Waterloo’s numbers finished at 28 and 71 percent respectively. .McMaster edged UW in rebounding 42-32, and committed only 14 turnovers, compared to 23 by the Athenas.
Rookie Sara Bradley shone against Western OWIAA all-star Heather McKay paced the Mac attack, draining 22 points (g-for-13 from the field) and grabbing 13 rebounds. Second-team All-Canadian Gloria Tomasevic poured in 17 points ‘and snatched 10 rebounds of her own, while teammate Mary Harrison sank 14 points, highlighted by two treys. Waterloo’s offence was spread over five players, four of which were starters. Brenda Kraemer, Susan Gowdy, Sheila Riehl, Jane Willet t, and Michelle McCrory all scored six points apiece. Will. lett dominated the paint in the back court grabbing six defensive rebounds. Waterloo gets a well deserved break this weekend before returning to action on Wednesday (January 24) with a short road trip to Guelph for a 6 p.m. game. The Athenas have a rematch with Windsor on the following Saturday here at the PAC with the first jump at 4 p.m.‘following the Warrior game,

swim team results
Joynt The University of Waterloo Warrior and Athena swim teams travelled to McMaster last Friday night to challenge a couple of highly ranked foes. Tired but encouraged by their Florida training camp, both teams arrived at Mac prepared to race and find out how fruitful their efforts in the pool had been. McMastefs men’s and women’s teams rank sixth and seventh respectively, and Laurentian’s ninth ranked men’s team and unranked women’s team would provide the competition for the unranked Warriors and ninth ranked Athenas. The Athenas handily defeated the Voyageurs while falling to Mac; the Warriors lost a hard-fought battle with Laurentian onIy to be swum

lead .:pack Andi Kenyon, making a successful comeback after a one year hiatus, Kris Jackshaw and Kim Boucher. The Athenas have picked up several other strong swimmers as well as the returnees to unite this powerful team. With the return of Tami Lee’s enthusiasm to the team and the good work ethics displayed by veterans Nancy Grump and Corrie Powell, the team should be prepared to maintain their national ranking throughout the season. The Warriors are involved in a rebuilding program which is already showing signs of progress. A spirited group of rookies ‘and veterans returned from Florida knowing that they would have to rely on each other and fight for every point at each meet. The dudes may have lost the meets, but some ‘of them accorded themselves very well, especially considering the work load which has been laid on them of late. Performances on Friday suggest that severa of the men are in for outstanding, season ending swims in a month’s time. Brad Oesch came in as a cocky rookie but is provinp; hi bravado. A good 200 IM and a power-
ful 50 fly were backed up by an impressive relay swim. Oesch was joined in his success by Jason Krupp, who also had a strong 200 IM which he followed up with a tough 400 free where he won a hard fought four and a half minute battle. Several co-op returnees showed that they had not been enjoying their freedom from the rigors of training too much. Kevin McDonald, Jeff Budau and Graham Stringer each swam well in their respective events. McDonald came second in the 100 back with Budau close behind, and Stringer placed third in the 50 breast. The teams will have to really buckle down for the last month of the season to attain last year’s standings, but it is well within reach. This week the swim teams travel to Brock on Friday night for another hi-meet with the Badgers and Western. Saturday, Waterloo is at home for the only time this term against the Windsor Lancers at 2 pm in the PAC pool. Come on out and support the team.

The University of Water100 women’s cross-country ski team has a great past, with several OWIAA banners hanging in the PAC. At present, we have a small core of competitive women cross-country skiers lead by veterans such as Fiona Griffith, Kathleen Fraser, Brigid Rowan, and Rhonda WiIliams.
These women have developed their ski technique, fitness, and racing ability with guidance from our UW coaches. The men’s team seems to draw a lot of skiers from high school programs. Interest is growing and improving to the point where, for the first time in years, Lakehead, Sudbury, and Ottawa should be a little worried come ski finals. The women skiers, however, seem to be staying away from the university program and coach Brian Farrance doesn’t understand why. . “We now have one of the best organized and cohesive nordic ski
*race teams in Ontario,” says Farrance. ‘The addition of several men to our team and the improvement of others has led to a real battle to the final seven who will make up the OUAA team. “We need this situation within the women’s team and we will have it if the women cross-country skiers will come out.” Skiers who wish to begin training for the 1991 Waterloo nordic team are encouraged to call Brian Farrance at ext. 6339, If you want to get back into nordic ski racing again and have fun in the process, here’s your chance.

Super 60 WI preview
Broncos by Al Falliott Imprint staff
.
On January 28, the Denver Broncos have the unenviable task of taking on the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XXIV. In a lot of people’s minds, the only question is whether the Broncos can keep people watching in the second half. The Niners have played brilliantly this season and are showing signs of becoming one of the greatest teams of all time. Denver will have to play their absolute best just to stay in the game. Offensively, the Broncos and the 49ers are both powerful and can score points as well as anyone. The Denver offense is great, but San Francisco has one of the strongest offensive arsenals in the history of the NFL Joe Montana has spread his passing around effectively to make it difficult for a defence to put double-coverage on Jerry Rice. His other wideout, John Taylor, would be the star receiver on most other teams. Montana loves to throw to Roger Craig and Tom Rathman out of the backfield; in fact, these two combined for over 100 catches this season. The other dimension to the San Francisco offense is their powerful running attack. The offensive line, led by Jesse Sapolu and Harris Barton, are excellent sweep blockers, catering to the strengths of Roger Craig. Tom Rathman give the ‘Niners a threedimensional fullback, who can run, catch, and block as well as any other in the league. Denver’s offence is strong, but doesn’t have as many dimensions as San Francisco. Bobby Humphrey racked up some impressive yardage this season, but hasn’t done anything in their last two games. Another problem for the Broncos is their complete reliance upon John Elway. When a defence puts pressure on Elway, and keeps him in the pocket, Denver has a lot of problems moving the ball. Vance Johnson is a fine receiver, but can be shut down if cornerbacks play him physically. If Elway is given time, he can be nearly as awesome as Montana. He has a stronger arm, which often gets him into trouble when he tries to force the ball into his receivers. The Bronco offensive line will be
take
on m,ightg
the key to their offence on Super Sunday. They must give Elway protection and control the ball on the ground if Denver is going to have any chance of winning. Defensively, both teams are solid and have come through when needed. Two safeties are the keys for each defence. Denver rookie Steve Atwater and San Francisco veteran Ronnie Lot-t are the dominant players on each side. They are both punishing hitters who make a difference merely with their presence. The Broncos have a weak pass rush which must be rectified for the Super Bowl, If Joe Montana is given a lot of time, the Broncos 1 ill get buried. The San Francisco pass-rush is lead by Charles Haley and, although not one of the league’s best, is better than Denver’s pass-rush. They only way Denver can hurt the San Francisco defence is if Elway is given time to set up and throw downfield. If he is forced to stay in the pocket and hurry the ball, Elway becomes a mediocre quarterback who throws a lot of interceptions. Easier said than done. San Francisco is an awesome team and have shown no signs of faltering. Denver has not shown that they are any better than the LA. Rams or the Minnesota Vikings, and we all know what happened to those two teams when they met the Nners: they were buried. For Denver to have any chance, they must come up with some big plays on special teams and win the turnover battle. Even if they do these things, the Broncos still have their work cut out for them.

New tennis by Paul Condon Athletics Department
Tennis in January? Not a problem, thanks to a brand spanking new tennis ‘bubble” in Waterloo Park, The University of Waterloo and the Waterloo Tennis Club, in conjunction with the City of Waterloo, officially announced the opening of this airsupported stnrcture. The bubble contains six resurfaced courts wjth new lighting and heating facilities. Tennis in Waterloo has received a big boost, especially during the winter months. Courts are available for booking by Waterloo Tennis Club members, university members, and the general public. While the University of Waterloo financed the bubble, the Waterloo Tennis Club will pay a flat rental fee for its court time. It will also share the operating costs equally with UW, and we will cover some of the club’s administration costs. Many thanks go out to the Tennis Liaison Committee. Special thanks are extended to Yeadon Fabric Struc-
facility
tures Limited of Guelph and to Ron Wagner Tennis Court Supply Company of Waterloo. The official opening will take place on Thursday, January 251990 at 6:00 pm in the tennis bubble, with the ribbon-cutting scheduled for 6:30 pm. . As far as the teams go, Western once again dominated the field with
133 points, leaving Waterloo and U of T to battle it out for second and third. Again, U of T prevailed with 117 points leaving the Warriors to third with 116 points. The Pepsi University Alpine Racing Series will continue this Friday with a slalom race at CraiEleith, hosted by the Universih, gf Western Ontario.
