Building Nicaragua’s peace Since the Western coast of ; Nicaragua was always under S@ish ’ rule, the two coasts were isoIated from each other. This isolation continued under the dictatorship of the Somoza family, whose tyranny was backed by the American govemment The influence of American interests in the country was summed up by example - the major highway into the capital city Managua used to be called the “Roosevelt Highway.”
The Nicaraguan people are determined that next month’s elections will be a step toward peace, says Bather Augustino Sambola. Speaking last Thursday at Wilfrid Laurier University, he said that the elections will be “free and fair,” despite interference ment

Sambola is a Catholic priest and a member of the indigenous Garifuno people of the East coast of Nicaragua. He spent an hour discussing the history of foreign domination over’ Nicaragua, and its effect on the native peoples. His appearance, sponsored by Oxfam Canada, was attended by about 100 students and faculty. Sambola cited an example from the 200 years of domination by British colonists. The Miskito, the original inhabitants of the Atlantic c&t of Nicmw, no longer use Mi&& surnames. All have British names, resulting from British use of the church 2s an “ideological tool of repression,” he claimed.

East German by Jane Morrison Imprint staff
Who ure all those people we see on TV, chipping away at the Berlin Wall? Ever since November 9, when the wall opened, people from all over the world have flocked to Berlin, eager to join in the celebration of openness and to take home a few souvenir pieces of the formerly formidable East-West barrier. Wilf Ruland, coordinator of the onInternational campus Amnesty group and a former UW grad student, went to Berlin for a few days in early December 1989 to see the spectacle for himself. His impressions were the subject of an “Update on East Germany” Amnesty presentation held . . . J?~~dtsplaymg the slides from his trip and his own souvenir pieces of the wall, Ruland provided interesting background on the changes that have been shaking East Germany of late.

Protest demonstrations within East Germany grew throughout the fall. Weekly demonstrations in Leipzig that were drawing crowds of 8000 in September drew 300,000 by the end of October. Tens of thousands demonstrated in other cities around the country. By November 9, it was estimated that 240,000 people had fled East Hungary and Germany via Czechoslovakia. On that day, the government decided to open the Berlin Wall, and the Politburo resigned. Resignations of many other government officials have followed.

sambola also talked of the influence of Nicaragua’s different, cultures in the peace process. He said that the Spanish Peoples of the West “struggle to have,” and the native people of the East “struggle to IX.” Both these lifestyles are needed, and the coming elections will show the participation of aI parts of the country in the attempt to build the nation.
The explanati6n? Ruland explained that East Germans watch West German television; the communist government cannot control the information available to its citizens. Whatever information is available to the Western press gets to the East Germans. Dissent can spread very quickly under these circumstances. Sin& the past summer, change has been occurring in East Germany at a dizzying rate. An opposition group, New Forum, the first truly independent political organization in East Germany, was formed.

Developments in the 198Os, though, showed how dissimilar the situations are in different communist countries, such as East Germany and China. For one thing, the East Germans are very aware of what is going on in the West. The 1980s saw the development of peace and environment movements in East Germany, paralleling the same movements in West Germany.

For Sambola, peace does not mean “the peace of the graveyard,” but development and growth. This, he believes, is not favourable to U.S. policy. For the U.S., “peace means wbt hawend h Panama Ir The
Since the uprising of July 19,1979, when the Somozas were overthrown by the current Sandinista govemmerit, Fr. Sambola says the situation has improved. h the tit year, the literacy campaign brought university students to the rural areas to teach the Poorer people in the ‘Ountry to readf and an “eruption of culture” took place. But then the American govemment organized many of the former members of Somoza’s police force, who became known as the “Contras.” Since 1981, the Contras have destroyed health posts, schools and bridges, and killed 50,000 people. Most recently, two nuns were killed and a bishop injured in an attack that Sambola said could only have been carried out by Contras.
East German tourists simply did not return home Discontent is nothing new in East Germany. People have been dissatisfied with the communist system ever since it was introduced to the “Soviet zone” at the end of the Second World War, Ruland said. Between 1945 and 1961, about three million East Germans left for the West. The Berlin Wall was constructed in then 1961 to stop an exodus estimated at 100,000 people per month. Protests were generally put down by force, and people trying to Ieave the country without permission were met with barbed wire, mine fields, guard dogs, and machine-gun fire. Ruland said repression in communist countries seems to be similar around the world.
‘The Sandinistas are not known to kill nuns,” he said. The Smdinistas have not been blameless, though. He told of plans to reslettle the Miskito people away from their traditional homes in order to keep them safe from Contra attacks. This plan met much opposition from the Miskito, and the government has

Un December 3, the entire govemment resigned, and the present (more or less) govemment took over. That is, Egon Kreru, the man who took over from Honecker, was part of that “present government” when Ruland made his presentation. last weekend, though, Krenz was expelled from the Communist firty. At the same time, the party’s er Wolfgang deputy chairman, ref Berghofer, resigned, long with 30 other prominent f rty members from Berghofer’s home city of Dresden. It is impossible to predict what will happen next in East Germany. Much change has occurred very quickly, but the final goals are still unclear, Rulant explained. Next May’s free elections should provide some answers. Until then, East Germany has some serious economic problems to sort out. The country’s manpower continue-5 UJ drab to the wEst, thvn+ 6 P slower rate now than before restrictions were lifted. The opening of the Berlin Wall in November, and the Brandenburg Gate in the ‘New Year, prompted much celebration.

Forum promotes by Swan Lynn Imprint staff Students from the faculties of math and liberal arts gathered to speak with successful graduates on the paths their careers have taken at St. Jerome’s Career Forum 1990 last Wednesday. Rob Donelson, who is in charge of development and college relations, planned the two hour discussion session, and introduced 24 different alumni from a wide variety of nontraditional professions. He said that students, especially in arts, often feel their choices are limited to vocations like teaching and law. Career Forum 1990 was an attempt to steer undergrads away from this sort of thinking. Richard Slowikowski, a 1978 grad who works for the federal department of industry, science and tichnology, opened the forum with a t$k on career life planning. He also hiolds a public administration Masters from Carleton. Slowikowski suggested that a wellbalanced life contains education, achievement and pleasure. He believes that we must try to allot an equal amount of importance to each area of our existence in order to achieve symmetry and harmony in our lives. His advice to the gathered students was to avoid compartmentalizing the three life sections: learning working and fun. A blend of the three throughout our day-today existence is much more healthy and barmonious. After the opetig remarks, everyone present was advised to mingle. When questioned, Donelson

him to maintain contacts in the entertainment industry built up during his previous term. As Entertainment Co-ordinator, Patterson operates under the mandate to provide the general masses with entertainment at cheap prices. LJW is the biggest buyer of entertainmerit of any Canadian university, offering live bands at about half the price of performances at Toronto VEIWS.
For example, The The tickets cost $30 in Toronto, compared to $17 and $19 on campus. In his next term as BEnt coordinator, Patterson plans to contime to offer a wide scope of music. For the future, he wants to feature innovative bands at the new, Bombshelter, such as The Ordinaires, who appeared last weekend.

instrumental in contributing to shows running smoothly. Patterson receives about ten demo tapes per day from bands who want to play on campus, but since students have come to expect a certain quality of music, he no longer books completely unknown bands. Patterson hopes to make UW a major stop on tours, with big-name acts coming to Waterloo, as well as Toronto and Montreal. Having The The come to campus is one such coup, since UW is the only university on the band’s tour. Fed Hall is also their smallest venue, with facilities for 850 people, compared to 5,000 seats at other arenas. About 85 per cent of the bands Patterson books sell out, consolidating UW’s rep&&ion as a viable tour stop. In the coum of a day, the BEnt coordinator is in contact with about four agents daily, having established contacts across North America and in England, including record companies and publicity fu-rns. Along with booking bands, he is also responsible for promotion of appearances) assisting with graphic design, hiring a crew (usually a reliable staff of ten) and lining up press interviews with the performers. As Special Activities Co-ordinator, Patterson also organizes every activity run by the student societies a\nd the Federation of Students, including Wiinterfest, Homecoming and Orientation. In addition, his work entails some community involvement and speaking engagements. Only seven other Ontario universities have full-time entertainment co-ordinators.

If he breaks the terms of the bnd he will be liable for a fine of $500 and charges under any new offence.

Advertising: Good vs Evil Last week, I went to see the 1989 Cannes International Advertising Festival. I was so anxious to see it; I sat on the floor with my friends. As we left, how odd it was that we had just paid to see commer-
one of them remarked CidS.
I agreed, especially since we had just paid to sit on a floor and watch commercials. This comment sparked some reflectionand introspection on my part. My experience so far has gained me access to the pro and con arguments about advertising. As a coop student, I worked as an advertising assistant in a Fortune 500 company. As an environmentally and socially conscious university student, I am experiencing growing concern with the negative impact of advertising. In twentieth-century life, advertising has become almost an omnipresent ture. We expect and anticipate advertising each time we turn on the radio a newspaper or magazine. Trends in advertising over ” r television, or read have made us anticipate ads on bus shelters, buses, walls, the pastdecade and in the sky. How do we react to this omnipresent fixture? Apparently, we hold completely contradictory views. Public opinion surveys reveal that many people enjoy advertising as an art form. The Cannes International Advertising Festival was created to reward advertisers for artistic expression. We also believe our economy could not run without it, and - yes, it’s true - we think that it plays a positive role in society. On the other hand, in one major Canadian survey, respondents were asked for a yes or no answer to this statement: “Most advertising is an insult
Sixty per cent answered yes. Another survey found that where 54 per cent of respondents believed public schools exerted a greater influence on society, 42 per cent beiieved ads did. These same respondents also found ads cannot be believed, ads make products more expensive, do not influence consumer choice, and prompt consumers to spend money on things they do not need. How do we make sense of these inherent contradictions within ourselves? These respondents are not alone. I went to the Advertising Festival last week, and laughed. Yet I fully believe advertising helps promote and develop materialistic values within society.

Other defenders of advertising &aim it necessary, vital to a free-running and efficient economy. Still other critics claim that advertising is an inefficient business tool that raises the prices of goods. They purport that the present standard of living .+. while high, would be even higher without advertising. . _ < ‘Ibis line of thought leads one to conclude that if true, materialism and environmental chaos would be worse without advertising. However one star&, it is incorrect to name advertising as the sole-+se ..I of materialism, because it is not unique to our society. Throughout history, property and possessions have always played a distinguishing role. Whether one considers the art and castle collections of Ia& XIV, or Excalibur; King Arthur’s sword, or the Joneses’ new pool+ these material objects have conveyed a message about the owner’s rank, status, privilege,

As the last decade of the twentieth century comes and goes, many of our traditional disputes go unaltered. One of these disputes is the continuing question of male/female. equality. This question has been answered, or shall I say bludgeoned into submission, by the faculty of the Ontario
College of Art. The OCA has instituted a ,new p&y that will see all of the ‘50 teaching jobs that are opening in September .go to women. Also, they have decided
tliat for the next ten years,
every single position that opens up due to retirement will be glwen to a woman.

.I ,
Now, you may consider these type ,;of ,@ions to be extreme, and- you be right ;in thinking so’ But, $ \muld i according 30 the college’s president Tim Porteous, these measures will be put in place to correct the imbalance
that already exists: 87 per cent of coties at the OCA are now being taught by men. Now, where is this blatantly dis, &minatory policy going to lead, you ask? Good question. By eliminating more than half of the potential job applicants (no matter what the man’s qualifications), standards are going to suffer. Porteous disagrees. He says that men can still apply for jobs &at will open for non-retirement reasons, and that over ten courses are now open. Affirmative action programs are what have given women the rights they t have today. I just object to d&imina\ tion ‘,*I
At York Universityc there isa pro-’ gram in effect that states when less
than 30 per cent of a department is filled with women, a woman will be ’ hired to fill the next job opening conditional upon her credentials being equal to those of a male applicant (if there is one). tn 1989, more than 50 per cent of the jobs at York werit to the fairer sex.
Unfortunately, the “program” that OCA has implemented is blatantly discriminatory to men and in this there is no justification. Admittedly, there are some gaping inequalities in
We Recyc
the OCA. These inequalities cannot be remedied by discriminatory policies that hire women over men . no matter what their experience level. Recently, the OCA has also come up with a retirement package that will have 50 of its sbff retire in 1990 and 100 more leave in the next ten years. If there is inequality now, in ten years it will pow to incredible proportions.
To top it all off, the feminist group that lobbied for this policy has been given a government grant for $53,000. Their opponents could not hope to match that type of backing. Already teachers at the OCA have begun to talk publicly about nude
models being treated like pieces of meat and a very real danger is developing: Soon, judging a piece of art w$l not k on how appealing it is, but whether or not it meets with the OCA’s feminist standards.

WPIRG mug To the editor, ’ obvious environmental For reasuns, 1 am a WPIRG mug user. I recently discovered that ail but one
campus coffee shop honours the use and purpose of these mugs. On Wednesday, January 17, I entered Mrs. Brown’s coffee shop in St. Jerome’s College to grab a much needed mug’o’java, only to be confronted by Mrs. Brown who refused to service my mug. Mrs. Brown stated that her reasons for not filling my mug were as follows. 1. WPIRG mugs are larger than the cups she uses and to fiIl the cups halfway would be inconvenient; 2 If she fUs the mugs, she may run out of coffee; 3. She claims that her cups are not
styroffoam because they are CFC-free. I would
like to take this oppor-
responsible for Mrs. Brown’s supply of coffee. It is her business responsibility to ensure that the demand for coffee is met. Finally, and most importantly, CFC-free does not mean styrofoamfree. It merely means that the styrofoam is produced without the use of chloroflorocarbons, thereby preventing further damage to the ozone Iayc.r when the cups are produced or incinerated. The cups are still non-recyclable and nonbiodegradable, and only add to the vast amount of waste our society pm duces. In using my mug.

The ability to recognize the signs which indicate more serious trouble enabIes us to make a sensible assessment of our situation, and to take the necw action to rectify the problem.

But as the boom receded in the early seventies and more so a decade later, and as the demand for Swedish exports dwindles, the myths failed, Huge strikes hit both public and private sectors in the seventies. On their return to power in 1982, the Social Democrats announced cuts equivalent to a four per cent cut in living standards. The cuts have continued, with pensions de-indexed in

In 1986, Swedish trade unions published a report stating that living standards had declined ten per cent in the preceding decade.

The Brazilian government did ensure that the miners left the Yanomami reserve, but pollution and disease don’t recognize the borders of the reserve.

While I applaud the efforts of Kim Speeti and others on the Women’s Issues Board to obtain improved security measures on campus as described in the article “Student securitv force approved,” (January 26, pa& 13), I must question the motives behind the article’s Dart&&r format. 1
I can believe that Ms. Speers is the driving force, but not, as the article strongly implies, the sole force behind the new program.

ing as horrible as the Montreal massacre actually registers on our brains as wrong and reminds us of how much further we have to go before “feminism” achieves what it set out to do?

“Unless English speaking Canada stands up and says ‘go to hell’, this country is going to be a totally French speaking country.” In Enotigh! Andrew suggests that multiculturalism is yet another vehicle for French domination. The Trudeau government conjured up the idea to fracture English Canada in an attempt to divide and con;luer. “The only remaining, unified entity is French speaking Canada,“Andrew quips. J.V. Andrew extends the call to university professors and students, urging them to take up the cause. “My advice is to get a number of copies of my book and lend it out to friends.”
Despite opposition, Bilingual Toduy, French Tumorrow sold a whopping 120,000 copies. In fact, Trudeau’s loss to Joe Clark in the federal election has even been attributed to popularity of Andrew’s bestseller. This success gave the author enough encouragement to write his second book, Backdmr Bilingualism . “This book was moved to a machine shop in the north of Toronto for storage and, within a week or two,” Andrew’s eyes widen, “the machine shop burned to the ground.”

All three books attempt to alert English Canada to Andrew’s claimed pattern of French Canadian domination. Elk asserts that French Canada holds ultimate control over employment, taxation, immigration, the RCMP and education (just to name a few) within Canada. The author also insists that from the international perspective, Canada appears to others as a French country.
Andrew has declared war
Many bilingual English people simply do not qualify for these . positions since they do not have the proper ethnic background, he argues. Andrew prophesies that the English Canada of tomorrow will be reduced to “hauling bed-pans” to make way for French Canadians who will take over prestigious government jobs.

Approximately one hundred peo-, pie gathered in the Humanities I’heatre on Thursday, January 25 to hear Dr. Wixman speak. The talk was sponsored by the Waterloo-Laurier Centre for Soviet Studies and the Waterloo branch of the Canadian tnstitute of International Affairs. It Cocussed on Uzbekistan, one of the five Central Asian republics of the Soviet Union. Wixman, an exuberant and personable New Yorker, brought his considerable knowledge of Central Asian history and culture, along with a keen observer’s eye with him when he visited Uzbekistan in 1985. In the case of Uzbekistan, however, its urban Moslem inhabitants today are generally cosmopolitan, welleducated Uzbeks and Tadzhiks. Wixman said they dislike their Russian overlords because they believe that the local Russian and Ukrainian populations occupy the best government jobs and the best housing. and regard the “locars” paternalistically as a subject race. Examples of the colonial attitude cited by Wixman abounded. The Central Asian, republics enjoyed a golden age between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries under the rule of the Mongols and later Timur (Tamerlane) the Great, with the cities of Sam&and and Bukhara ranking among the world’s great centres of learning and culture.
theatre, in which alcoholic drinks were sold at intermission, while the tiled walls of the one working me&se were adorned with huge posters of local industrial and cotton production quotas. The T&hkent Museum of History stresses the backwardness of the Uzbeks before the arrival of their socialist Russian brethren, rather than the glorious civilizations of the area, which are twice as old as Russian civilization. Ancient markets, architectural monuments of the thirteenth century, were tom down to make room for centrally heated concrete apartment blocks. In Bukhara, an ancient mosque was bulldozed to make way for a radio station. Wixman likened the cities of Uzbekistan to those of coionial India or Algeria: the Russian population and the Uzbek and Tadzhik inhabitants live separate lives in the same city.
Russians divide and rule Yet, according to Wixman, the Russians+ regard Tirnur (a scholar who spoke four languages and founded schools and a huge library) as a mere barbarian.

Wixman said that the Russians’ colonial mentality can also be seen in affairs. The region’s economic agriculture and industry have been single-mindedly toward steered greater and greater cotton production, at the expense of local food production and the environment. The soils of the republic are depleted and contaminated with chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The rivers have been poisoned by runoff which makes the water undrinkable and also unusable for industry as it corrodes pipes and machinery. The Aral !%a, its rivers’ waters used to irrigate an everincreasing number of cotton fields, is fast evaporating in& a giant salt flat.+
poisoned rivers As for the future, the population growth in Central Asia (Uzbekistan’s population grew from six milliin in the 1950s to 36 million in 1979) will soon make it a major force in the Soviet economy and political structure. By the year 2000, half of the children in the U.S.S.R will be Moslems, living in Central Asia and the Caucasu3.

According to Wixman, political unrest will increase unless greater self-determination is granted. Wixman felt it is virtually inevitable that the vast multi-ethnic Russian empire will break apart, as have virtually all multicultural empires of the past, as the various ethnic. groups, well educated and newly assertive, awaken to the fact that they are being hindered in their development by the colonial power+ructure. In the question and answer period after the lechn-e, the contentious issue of Armenian-Azeri relations was brought up. Dr. Wixman, who has studied the Caucasus extensively, gave an informative synopsis of the history of the area. The Russians, first during the Czarist era and then under the Soviet regime, have pursued a policy of divide and rule in the Transcaucasus, redrawing regional boundaries in order to create enclaves of one ethnic group in the tetitory of another, granting ethnic rights to one group in the republic of another. The Russians have used the Armenians in the past as pawns in imperial designs on Turkey and Iran, and until 1985 pursued territorial claims on behalf of Armenia against the two countries. Wiian said Gorbachev relinquished these claims, and revealed that an unpopular nuclear reactor in Armenia was supplying most of its wwer to the hated Turks. He believes

this triggered Armenian claims of sovereignty over NagornoKarabakh, a region created by Lenin expressly to provoke ethnic strife. After violence erupted two years ago, Moscow offended Azeri sensibilities by announcing that it would reconsider giving the disputed region to Armenia, and then taking Nagomo-Karabakh from Azerbaijan and placing it under direct rule from Moscow. Meanwhile, the centuries of hate unleashed by the conflict have led to the strong Azeri nationalist movement. The emotion stirred by this issue was evident, as two members of the audience disputed Dr. Wixman’s assertions, feeling that he should have shown the Armenians as innocent victims of Azeri aggression. Wixman, however, hwas able to deflect these criticisms by producing numerous facts to support his conclusions that the Russians are reaping the harvest sewn by years of deliberate fomenting of ethnic conflict.

Media% role in famine . Having landlord troubles?
by Sherwood Hinze Impat staff
International Students for. Develo merit held their inaugural public Porum last Thumday, January 25. During the forum they shed light on the imminent Ethiopian famine and discussed the media’s role in covering famine issues and molding public awareness around this topic Two films (Conslrming Hunm G@-ting the Srory and The H&Y& to I@) were used to highlight the role of the &e&a in the last mass famine to hit Ethiopia (19854%). The films were then followed by an open forum where everyone present could participate in a discussion on the power f the media to influence public perof world issues. What was of note in 1985 and being epeated now, is the lack of media f overage at the time when such coverage could prove to be most worthwhile. Eighteen months before the height of the last famine a BBC television crew rei)orted on the dire consequences about to hit many people living in the Eritrean and Tigrayan regions of Ethiopia and the people of the southern districts of Sudan.
However, because the story lacked the necessary visual images associated with mass famines (so needed for T.V.), it was deemed and therefore “UMewsworthy” never made it to our T.V. screens. Only when the huge refugee camps were set up and people were literally dying like flies did the WAStern media fully cover the disaster.
Students for International Development holds inaugbl meeting Once that coverage moved into full swing the media focus& only on the issue of hunger. At best there were only superficial attempts made to discern the underlying causes of the famine. T&lay, this sad story is a&h repeating itself. Civil war (now in its 28th year) continues to devastate Eritrea and Tigray. Last August agricultural experts were predicting upward of 95 per cent failure due to drought of crops due to be harvested in November and December. Famine casualties, while apparent in August, were predicted to rise steadily into the early months of 1990, possibly reaching proportions in excess of 1986.
Refugee camps, death and food aid will again become the primary focus as they will be the most immediate issues of concern. Civil war, pol&ical illegitimacy and poverty - the longterm and fundamental causes of this famine - will again be pushed to the background. As eariy as October 16 1989, the Toronto Star reported that two million Ethiopians faced famine. Since then coverage of this issue have been sporadic. News editors now argue that the public is still recoveringfro&‘famine saturation” coverage of three years ago. Again the opportun2y is being lost to inform and unite public awareness around this tragic issue. Coverage will again only mount when there are images which we in the West can best associate with the “traditional” images of famine.
Students for International Development was formed by a wide cross-section of UWstudents whoare concerned about global development issues. SID wishes to bring together students from all levels and faculties to educate, promote participation and generate new ideas about international development and Canada’s role in that process.

Western politics in transition
Reform Party chips off Tory block by Ted McCollum
I li l.
.
The Reform Party threat to the Tory dominated West is so real that a top Edmonton Conservative M.P., David Kilgour said, “there is not much doubt that Reform candidates would capture every federal riding in rural Alberta.” With that kind of talk coming from top Tories, perhaps the only questions left are how many seats will they win, and how far witl the main three parties go with the agenda that the Reform Party wants? Western Canada is known for creating fringe political parties that address the specig needs of the West. Among these ranks are the Social Credit Party, the Progressive party and the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation, now the New Democrat Party, Recently, a new party has appeared on the landscape of the West. That party is the Reform Party of

Canada. Like most parties created in the West, ihe Reform Party started as a “grassroots” movement relying on farmers and other individuals for their political and economic survival. Although the Reform Party was officially formed in 1987, it was conceptualized long before that. The party idea was a result of .events in the early 1980s between the West and the federal government in Ottawa. In February 1980, Pierre Trudeau was re‘. elected primcb minister of Canada. However popular he was in Central and Eastern Canada, he was as popular as the plague in Western Canada. He quickly introduced the National Energy Plan. This, in itself, was not a bad thing. He did what he felt he had to do for the good of Canada. However, when oil prices dropped, so did the economic fortunes of the western provinces. Western Canadians felt that Ottawa’s selfserving attitude did not meet the needs of all of Canada, creating an entrenched mistrust of the nation’s capital.

In 1984, when Canadians followed the western tradition in a majority Conservative vote, the West thought that they would now have proper representation and clout in Ottawa. The result was quite different. In the eyes of many Westerners, Mulroney took the votes and ran back to Ottawa to serve the interests of Central Canada. With the creation of the Reform Party in 1987, western Reformers and disenchanted Conservatives now had a party that could voice their opinions and show the ruling Conservatives that ignoring Western concerns

ridings. In those 72 ridings, they collected 275,000 votes, far more than expected. Most votes were taken from the Conservatives. In fact, one ‘ibry MI’ frbm Calgary stated that “a vote for the Reform Party is a vote taken from the PC. party.” But those ridings ended up in the hands of the NDP. Although they did receive seven per cent of the vote in the West and 15 per cent in Alberta, the Reform Party did not send a member to Ottawa in 1988. The party did come close when its leader, Preston Manning, won 28 per cent of the vote in his riding, opposing Joe Clark. However after the federal b&election on March 13, 1989, the Reform Party sent their first member to the House - a school teacher, Deborah Grey. The Reformers celebrated another victory

What are the limits to longevity? This was one of the issues tackled by Dr. David Mills during a talk he gave at the Kitchener Public Library last Monday. -’ _ .% Dr. Mills is a Health Studies faculty member, and has been at the Universitv of Waterloo since 1981. His disc&ion of longevity covered two major aspects: Lng&ity’s limits, and how these limits have a bearing upon our health care system. The current medical model for aging being used in North American society is based on four basic premises. The first premise, Mills stated, was that the average life span is increasing, The second is that death in the elderly occurs from disease. ThirdLy, that disease is best controlled by medication. Lastly, that aging is controlled by the brain.
aging controlled by the brain Mills pointed out that while these beliefs are widely held by society, they are not true. Average life expectancy is increasing, while life span is not. He said that there is a capon the absolute upper limit of aging of 115 vears. ,
Regarding death by disease, he stated that a lot of demise is simply due to old age. As people grow older, their ability to regulate their bodies becomes less effective; the parts simply wear out. 7.
Parts simply wear out
Mills disagreed with the tidelyheld view that medication best controls disease, Death by infectious disease is not prevalent anymore. Nowadays, fatal illnesses are heart disease, cancer and strokes; these are chronic diseases that worsen as we age and. cannot be treated with medicine. Finally, Mills declared that while the brain does have some regulation over the body, each system has its own biological clock as well. The aging process is intrinsic to every cell in the bodv and cannot be controlled by medic&ions which influence the brain. Of the stories regarding superlongevity, Mills said that every case studied had been disproved through a piecing together of the person’s life in relation to their relatives. Claims of centenarians were more frequently found in places where illiteracy made documentation of birth more difficult and in areas where prestige is synonymous with age. There is no documentation of people who have managed to live past the age of 115 years, With the limits to longevity

established, Mills moved on to how we should take this knowledge and apply it to the health care system. He feels that it should be postulated that the life span is fixed; society should accept this f&t. Prevention should be our biggest health care goal. Treating chronic diseases in the elderly is almostimp~ssible, so health care should - be concerned with eliminating these illnesses. A better life style would help, including healthier eating and more exercise, Miils said. By doing this, chronic ailments will at least’ be delayed to increase life expectancy. Mills concluded with an anecdote demonstrating the speciousness of certain longevity stories. As the story goes, Ponce de Leon discovered the fountain of youth. He found a tribe where everyone was young to middle aged, so he asked them where their elderly were. They said they had none.

Ten Canadian youths, UW political science student Susan Kurbis among them, hav;e been selected for an historical Soviet-Canadian arctic expe& tion called Arctic which will start in the U.S.S.R on May 25, 1990. The Canadians will meet with ten Soviet youths for the 92day quest tit begins 4th ~atr?k over the Ural Mountain range, which separates Europe and A&+-y id then rq.f-t down the Ob river, and travel to a village of Nantzy people, wh?re they will help build a school. One of the primary goals of the expdition is to promote preservation and understanding of the Arctic environment. Kurbis said she has “a great interest in environmental cooperation and feels that Arctic Quest is a really good step in .that Quest,

Arctic Quest is being organi@ by Youth Challenge JrttemationaT, a ‘Toronto+& organization, which is also cookbatkg a program in Guyana, South America this year. The ten Arctic Quest p&cipants were chosen after intensivejselection weekends earlier this month in Ontmio and B.C. A group of 41 youths, including five UW students, was short-listed from over 650 applicants to travel to the Ontario weekend session at C.F.8. Borden, near Barrie. They travelLed there from places as far away as Labrador and Northern Quebec.

lf he had questioned them further, , he would have discovered that the reason people did not grow old was because the villagers did not give them a chance to. They killed off all their older tribe members. Instead, he went away thinking that he had found the fountain of youth. Mills opined that we should look to making the average life expectancy longer and the quality of life better. He felt that one should not think of how long, but how to Live.
The group will travel to the environmentally sensitive Yamal Peninsula, and perform environmental research with a Soviet scientist. A good portion of the program will also include grass-roots cultural learning to take place .while the group spends time <with people in northern communities doing development work The Soviet stage is being organized with Dmitry Shj?aro, who or&nized the first Polar Bridge ski expedition two years ago,. where nine Soviets and -four &adians skied from Siberia to Canada over the North Pole.

They will travel toward the Steenby Peninsula by Kayak and by foot to survey Arctic birds and study

Afterward there were a few questions followed by the candidates’ wrapup comments. Here’s a rundown on the candidates, in the order that they spoke, and the issues they spoke about:
Mark Elliott (President) Elliott stated the four central issues of his campaign: underfunding the Student Life Building, school spirit and recycling. His personal motto, he said, is ‘The University of Waterloo - not just a place to learn, but a place to grow.” ElGott wants to emphasize the school as 50 per cent academic and 50 per cent social. He emphasized the need for students to get involved and be organized. Women’s sporting events need to be as well attended as the men’s, he suggested.

John VelIqa (President) The focus of VeUinga% comments was on the maintenance, improvement and expansion of existing services. He also said the Federation should be in closer contact with the “grass-roots” level of the school, societies, faculties, associations and such. This was a theme taken up by a number of the candidates. Vellinga wants the Feds to “take a leading role” with recycling. He stressed that the Federation must become the example for others to follow in the use of recycled products.

Frank Stendardo (Vice-President, University Affairs) He opened with the line, “I like to party.” For him, issues revolving around school spirit and the social experience a good campus community should offer are most important. Stendardo was the only candidate to discuss the CFS proposal, which he obviously favdured. He contended that the voices of all students unified, would be stronger than those of any one school alone.
Nick Vatalaro (Vice-President, University Affairs) The issues he considers to be foremost include co-op students, housing and recycling (this is the recurring issue of the 1990 elections). He says the present housing system is “patheuc,“and that we should look to the model of WLU and improve what we have. For co-op students he sees a need for communication, keeping co-op students in touch with each other and the school. Most importantly, he said, is that co-op services should be focussed toward the students, not the employers. Tess Sliwinski (Vice-President, Operations and Finance, Like all the rest in this race, Sliwinski wants to see an improvement in school spirit She thinks that added transportation to all key varsity events would help, She also suggested a “Summerfest” program could help to round out the school’s calendar of fun activities.

Tttctm~ (Vi43+President, Operations and %ance) Tudor also ’ wants to see improvements to essential services. He sees in suchthings as the FedBus an opportunity to coordinate efforts with other universities, creating an Ontario-wide network of student transportation services. * Tudor also mentioned the GST. Whether his comment that he wasn’t going to protest it finds sympathy among students may remain to be seen. He did comment that he is interested in being involved in the way the tax will be applied at the I university.
The main point stressed by all candidates was that students need to be involved. Students who don’t get to know the relevant issues, and don’t take part by at least voting really don’t have a right to complain when things don’t turn out as they’d prefer them to.
There will be two more forums where students can meet the candidates and form their own opinions. They will be at Campus Centre, February 6, and at Carl PoUock HaLl on February 8. Both forums will be at 11:30 am. Referendums regarding the CFS issue will be held Monday, February 5 at Davis Centre 1301, and at the Campus Centre on February 7.
Forget the issues. Forget the platforms.

CFS REFERENDUM
Imprint, Friday, February 2, 1990 17
..
CFS - to be or riot to be by John MacFarlane Imprint staff The Canadian Fededon of Students what does it doand why should students even care about voting for or against membership in it? These and other questions were asked of the organizers for the Yes and No-CFS membership sides as the campaigning charges toward the February 13 and 14 referendum on the issue. Newly-appointed OFS chairman and Federation of Students’ Council speaker Tim Jackson, along with Barney Savage, an OFS representative working in conjunction with CFS, are running the Yes-CFS campaign. It favours UW becoming a full-fledged member of CFS (it is currently only a prospective member), at the cost of $2 per student per term.
.
The No-CFS camp believe the main answers to that question are the incompatibility between the goals of the CFS and those of Waterloo, CFS’s involvement in nonstudent issues and its organization. Szwyrlo says, “I don’t feel it is an organized committed to studentissues lobby group.” She points out thatstudents voted No in the 1987 referendum but the Federation of Students didn’t listen to the results and bowled ahead with its own agenda. She believes the Feds are doing the same thing this time around. Regarding the Students’ Council decision last month to endorse the Yes-CFS bid, the two sides pl’edictably have conflicting

opinions. Jackson feels it will not bias the referendum outcome, and believes that since the council has had the most contact with CFS, it should give the students some direction, On the other side, Szwyrlo claims that it was unfair for Federation President Dave Readman to announce he had consulted with the faculty student societies and that the acceptance of the CFS membership was there. “it p&es me off that the Feds do things without talking with the societies,” she says, adding that the students will assume that all the societies agree with the Federation, which is not the case.
CFS only group lobbying for Federal funds

Organizing the No-CFS campaign are Federation of Students math Co-op counflor Paul Trudell and former Math Society Pent Pat Szwyrlo. Jackson feels the main reasons to vote Yes Ior the CFS membership are that it provides representation in a national studeht lobby pup, and cheaper student services such as SWAP, StudentSaver and the International Student Card. Savage notes “there is strength in numbers and it makes more sense to have one student voice lobbying the federal government than forty-seven different voices,” and argues ‘%ow could anyone possibly vote No?”
When asked why the CFS issue is important enough to interest the apathetic UW electorate, Szwyrlo says the students will have to pay Hty to sixty thousand dollars per year to an organk3tion which spends its time worry% about non-student related issues if the membership is approved. Jackson counters that CFS is the only student group currently lobbying for Federal education funds, and says “we can only benefit from joining with students from acrti the country.” The actual effectiveness of the CFS as a lobby moup is also a matter of debate. Trudell adm&kat?JW needs a national lobby group but feels that CFS is not playing that role effectivelv. Szwvrlo claims that CFS executives ofteA corn6 up with policies which don’t reflect the concerns of the members and then

“US is recognized as the national student lobby goup by the federal government,” notes Jackson and points to the Federal Working Group’ on Student Assistance and the Special Conference on the Economy as two examples where CFS representatives were asked to participate. He adds that if the CFS were not lobbying on behalf of students, the federal government could do as it wished on post-secondary education matters. Trudell also charges that the CFS concerns it&with issues which are not directly related to students, such as GreenPeace and international political Lsituations. “If you want to
CFS members have accessto research network students don’t fully know what CFS is and what it does, byt Jackson says it is one of the gods of his campaign to get that information out to the voters. Savage noted that it is not my different than the Federation of Student elections where students have a limited time to study the issues. Szwy~lo and Trudell say they will be speaking to as many students and student societies as possible but believe it is a little too late to start educating the electorate. %vyrlo criticizes the Federation’s CFS-education campaign this fall, saying there was no
too many non-academic issues join GreenPeace then you can join GreenPeace” he says, but adds that students shouldn’t be forced to pay CFS for this involvement. Jackson points out that the CFS gives no direct funding to any international organizations, and only passes declarations supporting foreign student movements. Savage adds that it is difficult to define exactly what are non-academic issues and points to housing, train service and AIDS as issues which affect students but aren’t directly related to them. Currently there is a one-vote-per-school voting procedure used by CFS, meaning that schools with smaller enrollments have the same voting power as their larger counterparts. ‘It’s not really an issue,” says Jackson Krause the larger schools can afford to send

John Vellinga, President by Judy Hollands Imprint staff “Students serving students” is the motto which John Vellinga hopes will land him the job of Federation president for the next year. Vellinga, a 4B engineering student, served as the president of engineering society A last year. He has also held the position of EngSoc vicepresident and serves on the Federation of Students Committee of Presidents. According to Vellinga, the most important issue students face is underfunding. However, he disagrees with OFS tactics, arguing that “pressuring the government into zero tuition is a mistake,” Realistic solutions are needed to combat the funding problem, he explained, suggesting voluntary contributions as a potential solution to the underfunding crisis. At the same time, Vellinga says the “government has been totally delinquent in funding Ontario schools.” He pointed out that on a per student basis, the U.S. government funds 30 per cent more Lhan Ontario.
Vellinga would not say what he thinks about the CFS, stating “I think it would be irresponsible for me or any candidate to take a stand on CFS.”
backs, but Vellinga does not think that Iobbying the government for more rail service is a good use of time and energy. Instead, he supports expanding the FedBus network and joining with other universities to create a province-wide, student run transportation service. To foster more spirit on campus, Vellinga said he would continue to expand Homecoming to make it an ingrained Waterloo tradition. One of his ideas is to have a “re-orientation” for returning alumni. Further, Vellinga would play up the type of department rivalry in engineering to get the entire campus involved. He thinks orientation should “be a religious experience” and that at the pep rally, “you are being brainwashed that this-is the best university in the entire world.” Vellinga searched for a phrase of three words or less which encompasses his vision of the Federation of Students. “Students serving students” reflects the involvement he would like to promote on this campus in the next year.
He emphasized that he will support whatever decision the student body makes in the referendum. Addressing sexism on campus, Vellinga commented that we “must become enlightened that feminism is not a dirty word.” He thinks that education and encouragement of women at young ages will help more women enter traditionally maledominated fields such as engineering. The Student Life building is also one of Vellinga’s priorities. He sees three issues which must be addressed: ik location on campus, funding and ik main theme. An active student l&e is important but as * Vellinga explained, the funding crisis makes academic matters the priority of the administration.

When asked how he stands on CFS, Elliott stated he would support the result of the referendum, but that personally he supports Waterloo becoming a member. Addressing the concern that Waterloo would only have one vote in the organization, he commented “We have to change it from within.” The Student Life Building will be a priority of the next Federation of Students. Elliott’s main interest is in funding the project. He expressed concern that it will be difficult to get students to pay for facilities that may still be under construction when they leave. He suggested the Feds could go to the private sector and the community for support for the venture.

In light of the inquest at the University of Guelph last fall, he thinks Waterloo does not have similar problems. “We shouldn’t say don’t drink, rather we should educate people to drink responsibly.” Elliott’s main concern is that students should be aware that university is not just a place to learn. “We have a tough academic schedule here so people have to get involved and have a lot of fun. The friends you make at university will be your friends in twenty years.”

by Stephen Fischer Imprint staff VPUA candidate Nick Vatalaro, who describes himself as “friendly and sensitive to the concerns of students,” hopes to make some positive fundamental changes on campus. A fourth year environmental studies student, Vat&r0 has been involved with the Environmental Studies Grad Formal Committee and served as the geographyi;representative on the Executive Committee of the Environmental Studies Society. Vatalaro gained experience in “teamwork” while serving as vicepresident and treasurer of the Geography Association, sock1 convener for the Environmental Students’ Society, and the 1989 Homecoming Committee. Vat&o’s top priorities are overhauling the Housing Office and pushing the administration to fulfill
course of action. Stendardo is in favour of joining CFS. He believes the advantages butweigh the minimal cost. The perennial housing squeeze ranks on Stendardo’s list of priorities. He understands the difficulties students have finding decent and affordable housing. He suggests contacting builders and act& as a mediator between them and the administration to try and better co-ordinate housing developments to the needs of students, though he admits this could be very difficult. Stendardo would also like to see better out-of-town lists for co-op students. Stendardo would like to d a student forum to publicize the new Student Life Building and see its development accelerated. Recycling is also a concern. As a first step, he would like to see

Responding to the question of sexism on campus, Elliott seemed encouraged with initiatives like the sexual harassment officer. However, when asked about sexist traditions such is having strippers at engineerthe iron ring ing orientation, ceremony, and the ridgid tool, he said, “These traditions have to change to improve the university as a whole. There will be a lot of opposition but we must mould attitudes of students in first and second year.”

He feels that its hours and location are ridiculous, and it is difficult for co-op students to make use of the office when outaftown ‘You have to take a day off wqrk” to find. housing Vatalaro charges. He suggests taking a closer look at the WLLJ system which he says is accessible “day and night.” He also lauds the WLU system for providing a detailed description of each unit, the di.s&nce from school, bus routes and assistance with ummupulous landlords. He would also like to see an offcampus dir&tory so that students can compare notes on housing conditions before committing themselves. Vatalaro wants to include a copy of the Landlord Tenant Act in Fresh kits. He says the administration has been “dragging its feet” on its com-

Lemon Drops keep fallin.’ by Kenton Augerman Imprint staff The hdighty Lemon Drops, promoting their excellent fourth album, Lau&er, played at The Diamond in Toronto on January 29. This was only their ninth stop oh an extensive 6% city tour expected to last until late April or ear& May.

The neat thing about theatre, especially theatre as stylistically conventional as George F. Walker’s Love And Anger is that people speak quickly and say a lot of meaningful thins that make sense. This differentiates theatre from television and poIitics, where people speak slowly, saying a lot of meaningless things that make noise. Which is not to say that there isn’t lots of noise and politics in Love And Anger. which is currently showing at ficf~~ 77mzfmin Tomnro. Sometimes the characters even speak slowly. But Waker, one of Canada’s most prolific playwrights, knows how to combine passion.with his politics and meaning with his madness to create exciting and resonant theatre. Love And Anger ties place in the grimy basement office of lawyer retie Maxwell (Peter BIais). Petie was once called Peter, and he was recently one of the rich and powerful, with his own prestigious law firm. Then one day he had a stroke, saw the light, quit his job, and began a one-person crusade to destroy “Babe” Connor (Joseph Ziegler), an influential publisher of a trashy tabloid akin to the Wonro Sun. retie is concentrating on Babe for now, but his true mission is to rid the city (obviously Toronto, but it could be any large urban hell-hole) of all that is evil, cruel, and heartless. This sounds dumb and cliched the typical “underdog against the establishment” story. But Walker hasn’t won tons of awards for nothing. Through careful and compassionate characterization he draws the audience in. retie seems alternately senile and sensible, and it is the precarious balance Walker St&3 between the two that keeps us hoping and waiting. Walker’s other characters are crafted just as carefully. There’s Eleanor (Clare Coulter), Petie’s longsuffering but obviously loyal secretary, who screams, upon more than one occasion, “Don’t include me in your problems, I have problems of my own!” (This is a comedy, after all.)

Pennsylvania. They played the first two singles, Between Something And Nothing and Dri@ng Falling, from their debut LP, as well as the probable third, The Oflce OfA Busy Man. They were poIished and professional, and it won’t be long until they are headlining shows of their own. When The Mighty Lemon Drops stated that the addition of new bassist Marcus Williams added excitement to the band and allowed them to move forwards and try new things, they must have been referring to w&king in the recording studio.
Because live, the band is the same as they were when Tony Lnehan was a member. They are very loud and very good, but they remain introverted, keeping band-audience interaction to a minimum. The Mighty Lemon Drops closed the concert with Inside Out and 77ze Other Side Of You, and were summoned back twice for brief encores. Their final number was a cover of Paint -It Black, atfter which the band exited, leaving their noisy guitars reverberating and feeding-back on the stage.

Jones has said that he meant for the film to be an adventure first, and comedy second. Yet the adventure is lame. It lacks a sense of wonder and instead consis-
tently undercuts itself by its sarcasm The two are never resolved. We never know if we should be following the story or waiting for the jokes and neither are exceptional. Instead, the humour detracts and ,misdirects the film. Erik is the sweetfaced, sweet-hearted viking who has never raped beforeqd falls in love with his first near-%ztim. This is strange stuff for a humanistic cornedy. Rather than giving us Erie neurosis to laugh about (like what Woody Allen does with his character inLove andDeath), Jones has us laugh at the violence of rape and beating. For having such a soft-hearted hero, it’s a cold, vicious, and misogynistic beginning. Take for instance the exchange between Erik and his father when they discuss Erik’s pangs of conscience: Father “It’s woman who causes all the trouble. What did you do to her?” Erik - “I killed her.” Father - ‘That’s my boy.” The misogyny is toned down as the film picks up. But the film is always too loud, too busy to ever give us a chance at a real laugh or a tight handle on the adventure.

Tim Robbins is probably the brightest candle in this soggy story. His Erik is just the right combination of innocence, leadership, and musculature. His delivery is usually right on, his timing is fine. And the rest of the cast works adequately through this dreary tale. This is moviemaking gone too big - like Temple of Doom or Baron ibnc~hausen. Both narrative and comedy play second to meglomaniacal atmospkre effects. Dungeons and Dragons fans and/
or Monty Python diehards may find just enough meat on this thin ankle bone to enjoy a 90 minute nibble, Needless to say the taste will soon disappear from their mouths. c It’s a pretty forgettable little moral ditty and a very forgettable comedy.

Kenny G is truly gifted. The way he plays those horns, you’ve gotta wonder how he has time to talk. The fact is, my beloved disciples of yupjuz, he don’t have to say a word. He can’t spare a breath because his mind is on his music. What a man! What concentration! What melodic charisma! Mr. G must be descended from the great race of yesterday’s troubadours. He is a contemporary bard with his Roland’s horn charging boldly into the future and his buttocks set firmly against the pastMy mind hearkens back to a simpler time, before people cluttered into the city and bought long-playing discs. In the pastoral age of my mind’s eye, wandering minstrels would delight the toil-soaked peasants with snatches of music and verse. The farmers would stop theirwork, and for a moment, lean their calloused arms over their ploughs. Tilting up their weary heads, they were rejuvenated by the music raining down on their sun-burned faces. And the minstrels would not ask a price. Can you understand this mammoth self-sacrifice? Can you or I or any of us truly understand? It inspires awe, even from the most skeptical audiophile. No, these virtuous bards perceived a common bond with their peasant a*cumrades and would ask no token be spared to them. For lo! they beheld and understood the poor were just

plziEq/ Best of the Bee Gees
.I. Wnen, 1989. 2. 3. 4 5:
by Rhonda Riche Imprint
staff
‘-! The third album by the Georgia SateWes is quite a tricky review. At first listen, it sounds a lot mellower than their previous efforts or their manic live show. The production is a little too clean and it almost sounds commercial. Yet, something is, well, different about this record in that it doesn’t really sound like a record; it sounds like a soundtrack. No one song is truly awful, but only the bass driven Crazy, and the hazily acoustic Another Chance really stand out.
The album includes a song that might be familiar - Gr’ve me a Littk Sip. The SattaIites thrive on human relationships, in particular human relationships breaking up. It’s that old boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy continues this process, producing musical laments about the process theme redone. There’s only onit song on the entire album which doesn’t have the word “love” in it - Pcucr Talk, a rather poignant song about talking and not acting. Without the eternal feud between the sexes, the Sattafites wouldn’t have much materiaI to sing about. Some may think of this more appealing m&c as a detriment to the band bec#e they don’t seem to be doing what they want to do. This may especially seem the case on something like Live via Sattafite, which captured the band’s improvisational style in concert (perhaps another jazz influence). This album is more commercial. There, I said it. The world didn’t stop turning for all the Sattalites fans, the anti-Sattalite did not-appear to herald a new age of anti-reggae music. Anyone who still thinks popular is bad should go back to Boxcar Willie. The rest of us will listen to Miracles and enjoy it:

Reggae was never one’ of my favorite types of music, “too much beat” I would say. Every now and again, I would hear something from B.A.D. likeJust P@Music, or something very ska from The Specials and my antipathy would soften somewhat. I still can’t listen to Yellow-man, but the new Sattalites album has definitely opened my musical taste to a new genre of music. Miracles can be best described as a tiion between jazz and reggae. The trumpets and flugelhorn blend with the bass to produce a sound that is probably going to appeal to a greater audience.

WarriorS Thirst for first on ice
Warriors still 3 points back -
Warrior
Hockey
by Peter Brown Imprint ataff The city’s two university hockey teams set the stage for their showdown-in-progress by each collecting four points in two games last weekend. The Waterloo Warriors out-muscled the Gryphons in Guelph 5-l last Thursday, and returned home to embarrass Laurentian 11-2 at the Icefield. A sad note marked the home rout for the Warriors, though, as veteran forward John Dietrich suffered a broken ankle late in the game. He will be sidelined for four to six weeks. “It wilI be difficult getting the chemistry that we had with John,” W coach Don McKee said. “If we go far enough in the playoffs, he may be back . . . . He’s a miracle worker.” Meanwhile, the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks maintained their three-point lead over W with a 9-3 rout over the OUAA West third-place Western Mustangs, and a 5-3 win over Windsor. “I was pleased with how consistent, defensively, we played,” McKee said of Thursday night’s visit to Guetph’s Memorial. Gardens, the temporary home of the Gryphons while their on-campus ti has new ice installed. “The Gryphons are a fine team,“he continued. “They haven’t got it ail together yet, but when they do, they’ll be very good.” Clark Day and Ken Buitenhuis scored first for the Warriors to take an early lead in this physical match, but Guelph started to press and eventually scored on a powerplay. Day added another goal, giving him his first two of the season, and the first period ended with UW up 3-1. Guelph continued its efforts to shift the game’s momentum in the second period by stepping up its aggressive pIay. But tie Gryphons

were too eager, skating offside three times in quick succession. The Waterloo counterattack was led by feisty, twice-penalized forward Pat’ Daly, with John Dietrich and Clark Day also posting strong periods. The Gryphons heated it up even more, knocking off an angry Tony Crisp’s helmet and sending Sean Burton to the bench with a bIoodied nose. Late in the second, a four-on-four situation devastated GueIph’s goon-
ing tactics and gave the advantage to the nimble Crisp line. Captain John Goodman took a pass from bigdefenceman Ian Pound, and relayed it to centreman Crisp, who found the net for his 20th goal of the season. The Gryphons continued their tenacious managing a Play, breakaway at the end of one of their penalties. Mike Bishop, UW’s all-star between the pipes, responded with g scintillating save that looked more like a karate kick
The third period opened with the Warriors leading 4-l and two penalties for each team still on the scoreboard. UW got some more good chances with Crisp missing an open net on a rebound. Guelph’s goalie Scott Lute prevented an embarrassing final with a couple of remarkable two-on-one saves. Waterloo managed a powerplay goal to make the final 5-l.

In the women’s 6Om, Jones was second in her heat in 8.38 seconds. She advanced to the semifinals, where she ran 8.35. Later, Jones won her 300m section in 43.90. Rob Meikle ran a personal best in the men’s 60m. His 7.23 advanced him to the semifinals, where a poor start cost him a chance at making the final. MeikIe also ran a swift anchor leg in the 4x2OOm relay, teaming with
Simon Foote, Peter Papp, and Miland Ghankar for second in their section (eighth overall). I& lXradi completed a tough double.

Laurentian Voyageurs 11-2. Dave Shaw, Rod Thacker, and John Goodman each scored two goals, while John Wiuiams, Pat Daly, Steve Girardi, Jim David, and Steve Richard each had singIes. “Laurentian came out playing very chippy hockey,” commented coach McKee. This was their best strategy against W, a team that completely outmanned them offensively and ended up outshooting them 52-22. But the chippy play did the Voyageurs no good, giving UW plenty of pow lay chance. The Warriors scored f3: ree times during a Laurentian five-minute major penalty, two of these set up by team scoring leader Tony Crisp. W notched seven powerplay goals in total. Laurentian was exasperated at many times during this game, and the breaking point came for one Voyageur with UW leading 7-1. He was angry at a linesman for penalizing both himself and a Warrior for fighting, so he gave the official a frustrated shove. The result? A five-minute match misconduct and disqualification from the game. The player must have wanted to sit out the rest of the season, though, since he tossed a w+ter bottle at the linesman’s head on the way to ’ the locker room. Well have to see what the OUAA has to say about the incident. He left the game in the first period to receive stitches on his head, and returned to the ice when the game was wrapped up But unfortunately, he crumpled to the ice after a check into the boards, and had to leave the game for good.

Waterloo head coach Brent McFarlane was quite pleased with the overall performance and spirit of his team, noting Ernst’s fine race and the many personal bests established by team members. But McFarlane voiced a concern over the size of the women’s team. The middle distance contingent has several members on work terms, while the sprint and field divisions are in their infancy. With over a month to.go before the OUANOWIAA championships, there is still time for people to join the , team. <Anyone who is interested in competing is welcome to telephone McFarlane (884-7143) or assistant coach Jeff Anderson (745-8094).

Warrior giant Ron Braley ripped down 14 rebounds of his own and hooped 13 points. “We have been having good performances from our main people and our support players are taking turns struggling, instead of all at once, which is nice,” commented McCrae.

Some people are really surprised by the progress of the Waterloo Warriors basketball team this season. Why, you ask? Well, this was to be a rebuilding and development year. This squad does not have a former or resent Al&Canadian scorer and Peader like what previous UW teams have been bleed with. ’ So why are these nameless players d oing so well in the always tough OUAA West? The answer is simply - teamwork Sporting a healthy starting five and an always reliable bench, Don McCrae’s crew now have an impressive five game winning streak and sit alone in second place at 5-2. Western is perched on top at 6-1, while Guelph ranks just below the Warriors at 4-2 with one game in hand. The inconsistent M&aster Marauders and slumping Brock Badgers (both 3-4) are at the middle of the pack Lakehead (24, Laurier and Windsor ‘(both 2-5), round out the division with four points apiece.
Quick-footed guard Jeff Nekkers led the Lancer attack with 21 points. Teammates Dennis Byrne and Chris Daly worked well inside, to collect 14 and 12 points respectively. Overall, Waterloo survived a disastrous shooting game, sinking only 50 percent from the field and 58 peqent on granny tossesI Fortunately for the host team, the Lancers shot an unforgiveable 34 percent on field goals.
Waterloo’s lastest wins were a 9282 drubbing of the Windsor Lancers here on Saturday (January 27) and a choppy 76-67 victory over the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks this past Wednesday night. In other action Wednesday, Windsor upset McMaster 85-83 and Western edged B&c 77-73. The Warriors were reluctant toward their rematch with Windsor last Saturday afternoon. As you’ll remember, Waterloo got off to a horrific season start with a flat 87-67 Ioss in the Lancer gym. Thii time round, UW put forth a more controlled and well circulated style of game. “After that tough start in Windsor, we’ve been slugging away ever since,“said Waterloo head coach Don McCrae. “We’re going to have to keep that momentum going now. We are playing toughly but not smdothly! The Warriors led almost the entire game except for a couple of brief ‘moments when Windsor tied it up at the midway point of the fir& half.

Then Windsor was caught doing a two minute power nap once again, as the Warrior snipers collected t& pointsto finally break the game open in a span of two minutes.

UW held a 43-34 lead at the half. In the seed half, the Laurier pkkp-~ (particularily j0h Duncan) decided that the only way to beat the more talented Warriors would be to harass their snipers (particularily Troyak) enough to get them off their game. Well, after nearly 19 minutes of trips, pushes, shoves, chops, hacks, and tackles, Troyak pushed back and a four man scuffle ensued. Braley from Waterloo and Duncan from WLU were eiected from the final minute of the game for flagrant technical vi0latiOnS. After the technical foul shots were taken and the final 60 clicks expired the Warriors had won 76-67. ‘The Laker players are small but hard, scrappy, and aggressive,” said Mcerae. ‘!I%& will d&&&ever they can to win.

It took a while, but the University of Waterloo basketball Athenas have finally put a notch in the win column. The seemingly insurmountable hurdle of a season-starting six game losing streak fell with a weekend win over the Windsor Lancers 70-65 at the PAC last Saturday. Unfortunately this past Wednesday, the trend did not continue as UW lost to the Laurier Golden Hawks, 5442, due to a scoring drought in the last twelve minutes of the second half. The two game split puts the Athenas’record in the OUAA West at 1-7, good enough for a share of seventh @ace in the division with Guelph, and a longshot possibility of a playoff spot. “Our players really understood their roles and our game is starting to come together now,” said Waterloo head coach Leslie Dal Gin. ‘We sank some great shots and fmally climbed out of our scoring slump.” That was exactly the key. UW canned a much improved 48 percent from the field and a slightly higher than normal 65 percent at the freethrow line. Windsor had similar stak but were simply outplayed for most of the game. The difference? Waterloo put forth a solid defensive effort, forcing a lot of turnovers. Fifth-year Athena MicheIle McGory led all skorers wi& 22 pink, draining 8-for-11 on field goals and an unblemished 6-for-6 on free throws, and added nine steals. Sophomore sniper Brenda Kraemer set a personal points record in varsity basketball, netting 20 points, while freshman star Sara Bradley contributed 15 pohk to her fine season totals. Team post Jane WiIlet set the boards with ten rebounds (seven on defence) and back court specialist Susan Gowdy showed her progressive talent, ripping down five rebounds of her own. Waterloo shut down Windsor’s top scorer Allison Duke, allowing her only 16 points. Consequently, two other Lancers hit the double digits in a replacement role. The game began at a crawling pace with both teams tossing up bricks in the opening minutes. Waterloo pulled ahead, 15-8, over the next three minutes on quick baskets by McCrory and Kraemer, but took a

In the dying minutes of the game, the Athenas fell apart and were

On the stats sheet, it was discovered that rebounding was the major disease that plagued the Athenas. They were outrebounded 33-22 in total. Waterloo shot a poor 33 percent from the field but an impressive 6-for-8 at the charity stripe.

Hoping to break 5-way tie PP
Women headed for finals at Brock Swimming by Jeff Hater Imprint staff Back in September, close to thirty women showed up for the fbst Athena swik practice of the year. This number has fallen to twenty, but these are the best, most perseverant of the bunch, and they are ready to fight for second place at next week’s OWIAA championships in Brock. It will be a tight five-team battle for in the standings. second place Waterloo will be challenged by Brock, Guelph, McMaster and Western.
A triumvirate of Athenas will challenge the 100 and the welling 200 fly. Kim Boucher, Kris Jackshaw and Juanita Diegel can all place well with solid swims. Nancy Crump, “Sparky” to her friends, will hopefully light the competitive fires within her teammates in the individual medleys. Crump till be joined by Shaun Joynt in the 200 and CIAU qualifier from last year Sheryl Slater in the 400. Finally, there are the freestylers. These are the events which will dictate the success of the team. If in season races are any indication the Athenas are ready for victory. Lmley Horton will swim the 200, 400 and 800 frees, she has already qualified for CIAUs in the 800, put-
ting her in the top fifteen in the country. Horton had three top-six performances last year but she will need to beat out some of her teammates to maintain these lofty standards.
The freestyle will dictate the successof the team Ryersofi
transfer Chris Gibson will
swim the 400 and 800 after having sat out the obligatory year. Kris Jackshaw
and Zeke Slater will race in the longest event on the program, the BOO. Sprint specialists Nicole Amoroso, Matins Juricic, Michelle Bliss and
Maureen Hurren will all double in the 50 and 100 frees. Amoroso has the best opportunity for success if she can overcome a late season injury. Corrie Powell and Shaun Joynt will power through the 100 while Alridge and McQueen will sprint just the 50.
The meet will be decided on the relays. Each school will be allowed two teams in each of the three relays so a high placing by Waterloo’s “A” team must be supported by spirited swims on the “B” team to ensure spectacular results. The Athenas will miss Kathleen Flynn, whose late season illness will keep her from competing, but not from the minds of those in St. Cat&wines.

Scoring at the OWIAAs is done for the top sixteen places in a nineteen event program which includes three relays. Coach John Oesch h& been planning carefully how to maximize individual points while keeping some people fresh for the relays, which score double. Waterloo has a well-balanced group with strong swimmers in almost every event. Backstroke specialists Trish Felszegi, Nicole Peters, both very pro&sing rookies, and Marissa Amoroso will be joined in the 50 metre by Maureen Hurren and in the 200 by Sheryl Slater. Returning after a year off, Andi Kenyon will swim all three with her breaststroke events hiathaIon buddy Tami Lee. They will be joined in the 50 by Joann Aldridge, Chris Gibson and Roann McQueen.

by Peter Brown lxqmint staff Three years ago, the Denver Broncos were trounced 39-20 by the New York Giants in the Super Bowl. Being a fan of Denver, I was painfully d&ppointed. One year later, they weie pummelled by Washington 42-10. I was numb. The Redskins’ 35 points in the second quarter were the most scored in fifteen minues of NFLfootball ever, regular season or playoffs. Last Sunday, I was neither disappointed nor numb. I was disgusted. I, along with tens of millions of TV viewers, probably including you, witnessed the worst performance of a

quarterback, and probably a team, in a championship game, in any sport, in modern history. Period. For those of you trapped in an elevator since the weekend, San Francisco ravaged Denver 55-10 in Superbowl XXIV. Of course, the 49ers were superb and, well, flawless. Of course, they deserved to win, and deserve to be recognized as the dominant team of the past decade, but did they play well enough to beat the runner-up by 45 points? Well, no. It took more than Montana-to-Rice in order to amass 55 points. It took more than a dominating offensive line and a pass rush that controlled the volatile John Elway for the 49ers to score more points than any Superbowl winner in history. With just those things, San Francisco still would have won, but probably by only 25 or 30 points. The game would have resembled closely S.F.‘s previous two playoff outings. But what millions of viewers saw on Sunday was not just Sdn Francisco’s total domination of the game, but also a losing team out of control.
Ihey saw a QB, in Elway, who was throwing the ball like he was releashg a day pigeon. They saw a speedy corps of receivers who dropped routine passes, when they were on the mark. They saw a third-ranked defence surrender four Montana TD passes on the same pattern. That’s right. All San Fran had to do was find the pages of the playbook marked “Post Pattern” and colIect 23 points. Now, the question is obvious. Can Elway, and Denver, ever win the big game? Only the man, and the team, can answer that. What’s clear is that “pretty good” just isn’t good enough. Now come fans’ chants of “Threepeat!” San Francisco is certainly capable of achieving this first-time feat. Their offence is not an aerial circus that relies upon a couple of brilliant players, but an efficient machine with 11 parts. This, the maturity of Joe Montana, and the skill of the San Fran front office all point to 49ers continuing to be an NFL power for a few seasons vet.

Molson’s Athletes of the week 1
Totally dedicated. , . totally committed. . . Qperfectionist. All of these terms have been applied to the late Don Hayes. Don was most closely associated with the UW Athletic Department in the five-year period from 196445 until 1968-69 when he was the Head Coach of the Hockey Warriors. As was the case in so many of his endeavours, he took ;i loser and made a winner of the hockey team. Don took a team in a rebuilding year (his first with the team) from a record of three wins, and I1 losses to a record of 11 wins, three losses and 1 tie in league play in year five of his coaching career with the Warriors. The Warriors lost to the University of Toronto in the Championship Came that year. Don came by his hockey background in Ottawa where,he played junior and senior hockey. It was while playing in Ottawa that his playing ability caught the eye of the New York Rangers. Don signed a professional contract with the Rangers but a knee injury sustained at his first Ranger training camp forced him to Sptingfield, Massachusetts for a recuperative period. The knee never did recover to the level where Don could pursue a professional career. * Don gave up his active coaching of the Warriors in 1969 when he returned to Springfield to study for his D.P.E., specializing in sports medicine. His work was completed in 1971 and he remained in that field until the time of his death in November, 1977. The Chairman of the Kipesiology Department at the time of Don’s death, Norm Ashton said, “He was an outstanding teacher. His lectures on sports medicine were the most popular.” Don’s activities were not confined to his teaching and research role at the University of Waterloo. He was very active in the local community and on the national level in his areas of specialization. He was the Chairman of a Provincial Task Force on Sport and Physical Recreation Research; he was Chairman of the sports medicine section of the National Coaching Development Program; he was a member of the Ontario Hockey Associatian’s Technical Committee and he was a member of the American Medical Association’s subcommittee on the medical aspects of hockey. A partial list of some of Don’s activities will emphasize just how dedicated and committed he was in his areas of expertise: l Chairman, Student Affairs, C.A.H.P.E.R. I Consultant, Federal Government on Sports Medicine l Editorial Review Board Member of the Physician and Sports Medicine publication a Author of many books, articles and papers on hockey, sports medicine and coaching a Member of many National and International organizations dealing with research and leadership in sports medicine. l Member of the Senate of the University of Waterloo and many other Univetiity Committees + Consultant with the Ontario Hockey Association, Waterloo Regional Sports Council, the Kitchener Minor Hockey Association l Chairman of the Faculty Council and member of the Executive Committee in the Faculty of Human Kinetics and Leisure Studies at UW l Founder of the Don Hayes Hockey Schools At the time of his death in 1977, the Don Hayes Memorial Fund wa5 established. Awards from this Fund are made annually to an undergraduate student who had a minimum of a B average standing and who is involved in athletics or the sports training function at the University or in the community.

by Sanford Carabin The preliminaries and finals of the mens’ doubles tennis tournament were contested on January 28 at the Waterloo Tennis Club. At the “A” level, accurate shotmaking from Kent McFarlane and Richard Bradley proved to be too much for Sandford Carabin and Robert Frisco as the former cruised to a 6-1,6-O victory In ‘3” level play, consistent play helped the duo of Joe Cascagnette and Karen Schurr pass Brent McKenzie and David Brodie by a score of 6-2, 6-2. In “C” level play, entertainment was the key aspect of this very lengthy and dyanding match. In the end, the excltmg duo of Shawn Cohen and Ricardo Deare squeezed by the stubborn tandum of Amo Krause and Hans Dworatzek with a final score of 2-6,6-4,6-l. We wish to thank all participants for coming out and making it all worth while. A special thanks to the management of the Waterloo Tennis Club for all their helpful input.
