WINTERFEST . ..the ultimate.quest... March 1st to 4th

on the PAC PATIQ

(

The sonus remain by Anna Done Imprint staff The turnout for the second Federation candidates’ forum, held last Tuesday in the Campus Centre, was much better than for the first, possibly due to increased student interest. More likely though, it was due to the usual lunchtime crowds at the CC. Here’s a brief summary of the candidate’s speeches:

named recycling and underfunding as two important issues on his platform. He concluded by saying that he promises not to let the issues die when the elections are over. Kim Speers (Vice-President, University Affairs) Security on campus is a major issue on Speers’ platform. She believes that emergency phones placed around the campus would help. On recycling, she suggests forming a student Environment Commission.

When the topic of the Student Life Building came up, Speers said that it should be a joint venture with students and corporate sponsorship. She believes that the students shouIdn’t have to bear the heaviest burden in the cost of the building. Frank Stendardo (Vice-President, University Affairs) Housing is an issue which Stendardo believes is important. He would like to see a’ rating guide for

off-campus housing to let prospective tenants know what they are in for. He would also like to see better jobs for co-op students. Stendardo is pro-CFS since it may aid in the problem of underfunding. He believes we need to have closer ties to the community. Nick Vat&r0 (Vice-President, University Affairs) Vatalaro would like to see the needs of the co-op students put before the needs of the employers.

Mark Elliott (President) Elliott discussed underfunding, CFS, student security and student involvement. In regards to safety, Elliott believes that more student involvement would ensure the success of any program implemented. In answer to a question about delegislating student life on campus, Elliott stated increased involvement in groups such as Bacchus is the key. On recycling, Elliott thinks programs such as mugs similar to those used by WPIRG and the using of recycled goods would be beneficial. John Vellinga (President) Vellinga believes that the job of the Feds should be to maintain, improve, and expand services currently offered. He said it is important to promote school spirit from day one by doingthings such as providing a better orientation. With the question of de-legislating :>studeqt life, VeHinga stated that education is the answer. He also

by Henrietta Veerman and Fleur Macqueen Imprint staff This isn’t as dry a Fed election campaign as you might think - rumours are flying left and right about alleged and actual campaign rule violations. Early this week, Federation candidates John Vellinga and Roger Tudor were slapped with a $50 fine apiece for illegal campaigning by the Federation of Students election committee. This fine was undergoing

appeal as Imprint went to press. The Federation of Students’ policy is to run a fair and clean campaign, not always easy in politics, student or otherwise. On January 25, Vellinga and Tudor flew to Ottawa to campaign at a Watpub. The election committee decided this contravened the rules, as the candidates were felt to have an unfair advantage with~access to free flights. Tudor and Vellinga are sons of Air Canada pilots. There was also no election committee official present to monitor the campaigning, and the other canI didates did not know that Vellinga

and Tudor would be attending an Ottawa Watpub. ‘_ According to Tudor, the Feds’ actions are constitutionally illegal, because they created the offence after the fact, Fed president Dave Readman said that the election committee exists to establish g-round rules, and that the rules cannot cover every scenario. However, a source close to the Federation said that the fines were justified, and the campaign was a dirty one. , Chief Returning Officer Terry Playford has had a hard job this year, trying to oversee a campaign fraught with tensions, backstabbing and continual bickering among czindida tes. There have also been widespread . allegations of candidates’ posters being torn down by other candidates, and illegally placed posters. Playford learned that a university staff member ripped posters down from a glass wall in the physics building, considering them messy. Vellinga had to remove posters from rooms inside the church colleges as they were posted there illegally by his campaign workers. Last week, the engineering newspaper ThC hl Mm-icrr furthered the problems by printing an article entitled “Vellinga enters the ’ race.“The election committee felt this contravened the fair campaign policy, as no similar article was printed on Elliott, Vellinga’s opponent. However, lrurt ’ Wwrior co-editor Elliott Simcoe said that as the paper is independent of the Federation, and not obliged to follow the Federation’s lyles. To compensate, the Federation placed a similar article in the form of an ad in this week’s Imprint. Tudor told Imprint that he attended a ,Toronto Watpub on Wednesevening, and was not day accompanied by an election committee member, even though the committee knew he was going.

Avarice threatens elephants’ survival by Mark Kemp-Gee

Imprintstaff

On January 18, an international ban on trade in ivory went into effect. However, a number of countries have declared that they are not willing to honour the prohibition. The ban came as a result of a 103country conference in Switzerland last October. Time, in their October 16 and 30 issues, covered the conference and ivory trade extensively. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) voted to place the elephant on the endangered species list. Trade in animals which are designated as endangered is prohibited.-

Seventy-four per cent of the voting nations supported the decision to place the el@hant on the endangered species list. Time reported that most of these countries including Canada, France, and the U.S. .- have already adopted policies banning the importation of ivory. Japan abstained from the vote, but will honour the ban. Unfortunately, a number of nations Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mozambique, Burundi and China say they will not abide by the treaty. The four African countries feel that their herds are adequate, and they have a financial dependency on the export of ivory products. The aim of the ban is to eliminate all markets for ivory, thus forcing the producers, predominantly poachers, out of business. This would, hopefully, result in the elimination of

Engineers by Derek Weiler Imprint staff An engineering student prank last Friday may result in serious consequences, says Dean of Engineering Bill Lennox. On Friday, February 2, approximately twenty engineering students sat in on a first-year English class held in the Engineering Lecture Hall. They then disrupted the class by asking inappropriate questions, coughing, and whistling. One of the students videotaped the entire incident. After about twenty minutes, the demonstrators left the class.

the threat to elephants, thus allowing their numbers to increase. The African elephant faces a very real threat of extinction: between 1981 and 1989, fime reported, the world’s elephant population plummeted from over 1.3 million to about 600,000. It is estimated that the species will be extinct in ten to 20 yeaB*if no regulations are put in place. In the recent past, the largest importers of raw ivory were Japan (which consumes 40 per cent of total annual consumption), the U.S. and Europe. Hong Kong is the international ivory marketplace. Between 1979 and 1987, Hong Kong imported 4000 tonnes of ivory, which reIjresents the killing bf almost half a million elephants. fiossibly the most concerning

aspect of the issue is the sheer waste. The elephants are killed only for their tusks, &hile the carcass is l&t to rot. Thus, in order to feed the worldwide demand for ivory in the form of jewelry, piano keys, billiard balls, chopsticks, and other trinkets, Time said elephants are slaughtered at an average rate of 1,000 per week. r..

have been caught and a number have been executed. In some nations, including KFnya, the anti-poacher forces have been given authority to shoot-to-kill. It is hoped that the international trade in ivory, valued at between $500 million and $1 billion annually, will be drastically reduced by this

*jclm gears

Andrew Park, one of the demonstrators, said that the demonstration was an activity related to the Engineering Weekend, and was designed to promote spirit in the engineering faculty. Parks said the sitin was organized by the Systems 2A class, although there were many demonstrators present from other classes. Dave Gara, representing the Engineering Society, said, rather than parading around campus as they usually do, this class decided to try something more original. He said they asked around to find out if there was a prof who would take such an event in stride. Because the English class chosen

was so small? only a small proportion of the participating engineers entered the room; the rest wandered around campus. The sit-in, however, is a good deal more serious than the demonstrators had anticipated - disrupting a class in progress is an academic offence. Dean Lennox plans to organize an undergraduate advisory committee and then hold a hearing investigating the incident. Punishment, according to university regulations may range from a reprimand to, at the unlikely extreme, expulsion. It was “a stupid thing to have done, and now they11 have to take the consequences,” said Lennox.

Poachers, armed with AK-47 assault rifles, are responsible for most of the killing. Traveling in groups, they kill whole herds of elephants, removing the animals’ tusks with chain saws. The age of the animal is of little or no concern - the average tusk size has dropped by half, from 8.2 kilograms, since 1979, indicating that younger animals are now being killed. On the positive side, the war being waged on the poachers is having a rel&ve degree of success. Thousands

ban. If the major importing countries do not close their doors to the flow of ivory, mass killings of elephants will continue. Soon, this popular animal will be gone. It remains to be seen what the effectiveness of the ban shall be. If the ban fails, then we may, in the future, see the extinction of several other species whose numbers are diminishing as a result of man’s ignorance. Public concern is the greatest protection these animals

have.

OPINIUN

All opinions

on this page am strictly those of the authoI”s

Readers’ ‘survey brings perestroika \ to Imprint The Policies and Procedures of Imprint Corporation state, “Imprint is a student newspaper, democratically run by students ap,d dedicated to serving students, The staff of the paper, accountable to student opinion, determines the policy and content of the paper.“ While Imprint has never consciously chosen to alienate a majority of our readership, the results of the November 1989 reader survey investigating UW attitudes toward Imprint show we have at times failed the “accountability” test. Imprint strives to challenge the frequently laissez-faire UW student body. Survey evidence suggests we have not always succeeded in stimulating the students of this campus. The survey was initiated last fall to address mounting campus cdncerns about alienation between Imprint and the student body. The survey took the form of a full page questionaire in the November 10 and 17 issues of Imprint. Questions focused on readers’ opinions of the news, forum, features, arts and sports sections of the paper. Additional questions related to photography, graphics, comics, distribution, circulation and readership. ’ In light of results from the 135 survey respondents (one per cent of readership; a typical response for a survey of this sort)., the Board of Directors and staff of Imprint have committed to altering and adapting our product to better reflect the diversity and interests of the UW student population. The first and most prominent changes include the introduction of a Science section and the evolution of the Arts section. Respondents felt UW’s academic emphasis and reputation in science and technof-, ogy have not adequately been represented in the paper. Im@int hopes the new Science pages will grow and provide increased diversity to this neglected aspect of campus coverage. The Arts section was subject to the most criticism in the survey particularly about the narrowness of coverage and objectional copy. Imprint Arts has developed a national reputation in campus papers for redefining acceptability. Although we intend to maintain maximum opportunities for continuing this reputation, students reading the 1990 version of Imprint Arts will already notice drastic changes in the content, diversity and balance of the section. A sincere effort has been initiated to bring increased coverage of theatre, classical music, dance and “mainstream” music. Imprint News received a moderate approval rating. Must suggestions and ideas to improve our news coverage seem ignorant to the fact that all writers for the paper are students with full course loads, and limited time and energy. We will attempt to provide more OFS coverage and increased alternative international news where possible. Imprint’s Forum, Feature and Sports sections received high approval ratings and will continue to achieve increased diversity and interest. The photography section’s upward qualitative trend was recognized by the respondents while the comics received a vote of confidence. tn addition, Imprint is trying to increase communication between the student societies on campus so we will be informed of and better able to cover student events. Hopefully all concerned will be able to look ahead, leaving past antagonisms behind. Imprint is sincere in its attempts. While Imprint is committed to evolving to meet our readers needs, one must remember that the newspaper is primarily a volunteer organization. As such, Imprint is a reflection of the volunteer students who often dedicate upward of 15-20 hours each week to providing the campus with a student voice. Staff works hard, and their work often goes unnoticed and unappreciated. Fashion at UW dictates a requisite measure-of Imprint bashing in most circles. I would posit for the uninformed that while Imp&d is not perfect, it remains the most active student organization on this often apathetic campus. Imprint provides one of the few dynamic forums at UW for debate and discussion of the day’s issues. Next time Imprint’s coverage raises your ire, remember your view is not always right. And remember, we are your voice. Write a letter to the editor to express your views, or become a contributor at our office

in the Campus

Centre.

tf Imprint fails to report events you want covered then inform us. We attempt to meet all our readers’ interests, but remember the surest way to get your special interests covered in Imprint is for you to become a staff writer yourself. John Mason President, Imprint

Clarification To the editor, A letter by M. -_Dziz and- T. Poechman in last week’s Imprint argued that students should not have to financially support groups within the Federation of Students that “promote activities contrary to (their) convictions.” Although I feel that they have a legitimate argument, I am responding to their letter because it contained statements that could leave readers with a serious misunderstanding about one of the organizations they object to - the Sexuality Resource Cent-re (SRC). The writers allege, based on information that they “heard” that “one Catholic student was advised to get an abortion” by one of th;ee organizations: Gay and Lesbian

Liberation Organization of Waterloo (GLLOW), the Womyn’s Groupor the SRC. Although they did not specifically name which. of . _.these organizations was associated wrth the rumour, students who are familiar with these three groups might assume that the allegation is directed toward the SRC. The Sexuality Resource Centre does not “advise”people to do anything. Our fundamental policy is to proin a vide information nonjudgemental manner. In other words, our volunteers are trained to provide the information and support that will allow people to make decisions that are consistent with ’ their morals and beliefs. In the ‘event that someone consulted us regarding an unplanned would provide pregnancy, we

Cannot “exempt” ~ourselwbs To the editor, This letter is in response to M.Dziz and T. Poechman’s letter, “Feds and us at odds” (Imprint, February 2). The basic assumption in the letter is that individuals should have the right not to contribute to organizations that use their contributions in ways with which they disagree. If we assume that the Federations of Students is indeed a federation, then I would argue Dziz and Poechman’s suggestion is untenable. I am a pacifist; by their reasoning I should be able to avoid any payment of federal taxes that supports military activity. Indirectly, I pay taxes to help cover the cost of (tax-exempt) Christian churches - including land, building and maintenance costs. Following Dziz and Poechman’s logic, however, I should be able to “exempt”myself from such expenses, as this particular doctrine “promotes activities contrary to my convictions.” A society based on the logic espoused by Dziz and Poechman would be tribal - composed of individual fiefdoms, each narrowmindedly protecting its own tiny corner of interests (i.e., not a democracy). I would suggest that M. Dziz, as a political science ‘student, read (or reread) John Stuart Mill’s On Likq, where he will discover a highly rational plea for toleration and the encouragement of diversity. If you do not agree with the policy of federal organizations, you have the right to try to change the policy or to remove yourself from the jurisdiction of the government (i.e. change schools). Governments, at least Western ones, try to operate on a principle of pturalism. This means that they fund activities and organizations with which we sometimes disagree. These authors state they “do not wish to legislate our beliefs on the public” - however, by suggesting we mav all “pick and choose” what part of ihc Federation to support, they clrc prcq~)s~ng just that. Presumably, if nobody wants to

Pedestrian crosswalk needed To the editor, With reference to students walking over from Married Students Apartments, having to cross University Avenue West: a pedestrian crossing in the appropriate place would be most conducive to safety and pedestrian rights, particularly in view of the facts that: 1. It takes on “peak” average just less than a minute to cross. 2. I have noticed near misses on several occasions including today, February 5. 3. Drivers a’re particularly discourteous during peak hours. I am sure that my fellow students would have similar views. F. Mohamed 3rd year Health Studies

unbiased information about the advantages and disadvantages of three options: adoption, parenthood and abortion. If a female decided to have an abortion after talking to an SRC volunteer, it would be because she had considqred these three alternatives and decided herself that abortion was the option she was most comfortable with. It should be clear from _the above explanation that the SRC does not “promote” abortion. We believe that females havethe right to be informed of the options available to

them; we do not promote any one option over an other. Dziz and Poechman’s letter might also leave readers with the mistaken impression that the SRC only exists to counsel students about unplanned pregnancies. Most of our calls and visits are about birth control methods, sexually transmitted diseases, female health, sexual@ and research for term papers. We also make an effort to decrease the likelihood of unplanned pregnancies occurring by encouraging sexually active students to be sexually respon-

sible. I have great respect for Dziz and Poechrnan for striving to make their actions consistent with their contictions. However, it is unfortunate that they did not make the effort to find out what the Sexuality Resource Centre actually does before publicly stating that they were opposed to it.

To Your Health Alcohol is a widely accepted drug which can help people to relax, socialize and unwind, For moderate drinkers, the pleasures of alcohol - tasty wine or beer, good times with friends at a local bar, a before or after dinner drink - are well appreciated. But, alcohol can have disastrous effects on your family life, social life, employment, and personal health (both physical and mental). We all need to be aware of how much alcohol we drink.’ Most alcoholics begin as social drinkers; but drinking becomes more necessary to them than their friends. As drinking becomes more frequent, it takes more alcohol to feel the same “high”* People tend to move into a heavier drinking crowd and weekends are centered around drinking parties. Gulping drinks, sneaking extra shots, and loading up even before the party may become the pattern. Drinking alcohol becomes increasingly’ important to the developing alcoholic. Problem drinking Development of alcoholism in some is signalled by blackouts (temporary memory loss), uncontroll,ed drinking. and periodic benders, In others, it may take the form of a regular pattern of daily drinking, in gradually increasing amounts, with occasional obvious excesses. Drinking is a serious problem when it interferes witk home life, job performance, budget, or personal health. People become dcpcndent on alcohol because they have problems they can’t handle, or simply because they get into the habit of drinking too often.

Christian convictions? Is that what you call your bigotry: convictions? It is ethically unfounded to dislike individuals based on their private lives. How can anyI doctrine that denies personal rights be good? The Womyns’ group is not supported by the Federation of Students for the soIe reason that they discriminate

against men. The entire problem with Christians is that they’ve got too many moral cdnvictions to be@ with. Just relax. Feminists, gays, lesbians, and pro-choice activists all have morals, just not the ones you have. Slaughtering others over differing religious beliefs is less moral than two mature adults loving each other in the privacy of their own home. You state you would like students to have control over mandatory student fees. Well, Fed fees are not mandatory. I have never once hesitated in giving my money to the organization to

which you ascribe. I would never condone giving my money to what I believe to be the largest organization in the world built on faith, fiction and fairy tale. I rarely use the PAC, but I still give money. You don’t give your money because it’s against your moral principles. Christianity is against mine, but I do not stop paying my fees. Not giving GLLOW four cents out of the one thousand dollars you give to the university each term is not going to drive gays off our campus, or out of the Campus Centre. You offer the alternative of having other organizations use the office

Fed Hall policy bad m8 m

pNext time. lie I

To the editor,

Last Thursday, my roommate and I went to Fed Hall after having a few beers. “Have you had anything to drink?” bellowed the student on the door, disguised as yet another Club Fed employee on a power trip. Not thinking that it would tarnish my chances at getting in, I said, “Yeah, I’ve had a few beers.” He replied, “Sorry, you can’t get in.” It is their policy not to let anyone in “who has had too much to drink” or who is “undesirable.” This policy is acceptable if applied consistently. But obviously it is up to the,discretion of whoever is guarding the entrance. After trving to encourage a few staff members to think &tionally, they offered to get the manager. After

trying

to reason with people who never had a few beers before going out, and thinking that they rep resent the policy (and probably the mentality) of the management, 1 felt I would be wasting my time. I left. This is the second time this term that this has happened to me. I have talked to a number of others who have been refused admittance. We are pissed off that students are denied entrance to a facility they are forced to pay for, based on the discretion of some bonehead that works at Fed, Hall. If these people operated a bar outside of the protective boundaries of student funding, and treated their customers in a siniilar fashion, how long would the business survive? Students pay $7.50 a term to sup port this facility, as was decided in a 1982 referendum. At that time, Fed Hall (“Fed” meaning Federation of Students,. meaning representing the students) was a student pub and didn’t bow down and kiss the feet of the university’s administration by have

adopting policies that come from Dr. Seuss. If Fed Hall is going to change their policies, they should have to be held accountable to the students who support this inefficiently-operated and improperly-managed joint. Students should not have to support a facility where they are refused admittance. With the kind of service one receives at Fed Hall and the prices they charge, who wouIdn’t have a few beers before going out! If this continues, I suggest the management tear down the bar facilities and install a Kool Aid stand. That. way they. can attract a “desirable” clientele, the staff will be able to deaI with people at the same stage of brain development, and UW will still have a claim to fame - the largest university K~ol Aid stand in North A*merica!

Or perhaps we could open a “drop-off -your-newly-bomunwanted-child-because-l’m-toldby-the-Christians-that-I-shouldn’tuse-birth-control-or-have-an abortion-clinic.” How does that sound? My last comment on this article concerns the statement that you don’t want to give money to a chauvinistic organization. If you own a Bible, then you own one of the most chauvinistic documents in circulation. The man is the ruler of the household right? Wrong.

At a time when First Nations people are struggling to overcome grave problems of unemployment, welfare dependency and language and cultural losses, federal funding cuts to something as essential as education will only aggravate these problems by reducing the access to and adequacy of post-secondary financial assistance. In April of 1989, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) put a budget “cap’% place on the First Nations Post-Secondary Education Assistance Program and revised the policy governing First Nations student eligibility for funding. known as the E-12 Guidelines. E-12 lias been in place since 1980 and, up to 1989, has undergone many revisions to accommodate the policy of Federal government deficitreducing measures. Both the budget cap and the E-12 revisions were unilaterally produced by INAC, ignoring any, First Nations consultation and recommendations. Although INAC Minister Pierre Cadieux does not see the budget cap and the E-12 revisions as placing limitations on First Nations post-secondary students, these revisions will reduce the funding given to each student, making it more .difficult to cope financially, or reduce the number of students to whom funding will be granted. The E-12 revisions make it more difficult for First Nations students to be accepted for funding reduce the amounts for scholarships, Ph.D. and Masters degree incentives, and do not allow for any student appeals. It reduces the time limit in which a degree must be completed to receive funding, and limits the institutions which a Fit Nations student can attend and still receive funding. The fight for adequate First Nations post-secondary education funding is not taken lightly by First Nations people. Multiple hunger strikes, such as those in Thunder Bay, and protest rallies in Ottawa and nation-wide occurred showing First Natioqs dissatisfaction and frustration with Fed+ government cutbacks. The Federal government still refused to listen to the First Nations students and organizations that called for a more just and adequate funding policy. The government implemented the changes in kp-

tember 1989.

To the editor, After nearly a year away from -Waterloo, I am reminded again of the place Canadian Federation of Students has on Canadian university campuses. Having finished my term with the Federation of Students last April, I went back to school. I’m now at University of Calgary law school. U of C and UW have many similarities: both were built *in the mid-60s, they have about the same number of students, and both are in the midst of CFS referenda. The issues presently being brought up in Calgary sound quite familiar. However, some benefits of CFS membership have not been discussed. This includes inter-campus communication and the sharing of information and strategies. I believe this to be unfortunate as some of the problems that students have in Waterloo and in Calgary could be greatly helped through discussions of the experiences of each other. Two issues of concern are athletic facilities and co-op education. The student body in Calgary lobbied successfully for new student facilities that fortunately included an Olympic athletic centre. They also managed to

First Nations

The core problem facing First Nations educational reforms stem from the Federal government’s refusal to”recognize and affirmv aboriginal rights to education. The First Nations Treaty right to education originates in the ’ Federal government-First Nations Treaties signed in the 1800s which granted Crown/Federal government use of First Nations Land, in return for the provision of funds and services from the Federal government, including educationAny notion of “free” education for First Nations people misleads by denying the treaty agreements which make education a pregrranged right f&First Nations people. The Assembly of First Nations feel that a more adequately funded and First Nations controlled education system will help them gain the skills needed to support their move to self-government. First Nations post-secondary education would be an essential tool to developing First Nations governments. These governments vould allow First Nations communities to bring their cultures alive, raise their children with positive role models from their own communities, an.d turn the vicious cycIe of unemployment and welfare dependency into p,osltive First Nations defined and controlled opportunities for development and autonomy within Canada. Recognition of the First Nations’ right to adequately funded education is essential to any educational, First Nations and/or Federal government reforms. It is hard to say what anyone can do about this situation. While a letter to your MP couldn’t hurt, it seems unlikely that the government will listen since it has not so far. You could form and/or join unlearning-racism workshops, which employees of Women’s Press (Toronto) and the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre have been known to facilitate. Support any means for Flit Nations people to speak out on this issue. Cal local First Nations groups for ideas, for example Weejeendimin Native Resource Centre at 743-8635.

Their experience would definitely help in the ongoing effort to build such facilities in Waterloo. , At the same time, U of C students would gain from the Waterloo experience in ~0-0~. U of C is starting up a similar program, but students are relativelv naive about the Dotentia I prograr& and costs of such a program. This is where the CFS comes into the picture. Aside from various services and lobby efforts, CFS provides a forum for Canadian students to discuss common problems. The pre blem for some time has been that this happened only at conferences. One improvemenb the introduction of the CFSNet computer network, has recently put students who don’t go to conferences in touch with CFS, and more importantly, it’s put them in touch with each other. Now I’m not saying the CFSNet%y itself makes CFS perfect, but it does demonstrate a willingness and a desire to improve, grow and reach out to member students. Through programs such as CFSNet# CFS provides the means for students in Waterloo and Calgary to communicate and help each other. By joining, the students of Waterloo stand to gain much while helping fellow students in other parts of Canada to benefit from their experience.

)/ GST bad I) I To the editor, I am writing to clarify some points reported by Michael H. Clifton in the last issue on the election forum that took place in Hagey Hall. Mr. Clifton stated that Roger Tudor, a candidat+ for vice-president, (operations and finance) “wasn’t going to protest” the new Goods and Services Tax that is to be implemented in January 1991. My understanding of Mr. Tudor’s comments was that he didn’t plan to protest this tax because such lobbying would be the responsibility of the vice-president (university affairs). He certainly didn’t seem to condone the tax.

Instead the role of the vicepresident (operations and finance) would be to make sure that steps are taken to ensure that the tax’s effects on the cost of services to students is minimized. His plans of how this could be done were further explained at the forum two days later in the MathC&D. Craig Cudmore 48 Mathematic2b

deeply disturbing. The first being Andrew’s constant reference of both French Canada and English Canada.

In light of the growing pressures being pbced on Canadian unity, I was appalled to read about J.V. Andrew’s insane views concerning the apparent French-Canadian conspiracy designed to gain control over the test of Canada (“Enough is enough, he says,” February 2).

His explains that these labels are justified because multiculturalism is only another vehicle for French domination. Simply stated, Andrew displays an intolerable ignorance towards the many e_thnic and native groups that have helped shape Canada’s unique character. The other equally disturbing point revolves around the sales of books that this man has generated. Can it be that there are other English Canadians with a shattered selfconfidence similar to Andrew’s? 1do not believe so; but I do believe that the growing number of fainthearted English Canadians threatens national unity. The time has come for Canadians to look outward into the changing world. We must settle our internal squabbles, and get on with building a Canada that can meet the challenges of the 1990s and beyond. Canada’s success depends directly on our ability to act as a unified country. If we are to prosper, Canadians must demonstrate the confidence and desire necessary to accomplish these goals. What about J.V. Andrew? Send him a one way ticket to Sault Ste. Marie so that he may live in the company of other cowardly EnglishCanadians, bent on disrupting Canadian harmony.

Quebec, representing about one quarter of Canada’s population, houses over 80 per cent of all FrenchCanadians. Consequently, less than one in five francophones are currently scattered across the remaining nine provinces. Demographic trends point to a continual decline in both the size of the French-Canadian population, and their presence outside of Quebec. Yet these facts have Andrew all worked up into a frenzy of fear. He believes that this French, minority, struggling to preserve its own cultural identity inside of Quebec, is poised to take over the entire country. The Vancouver Canucks are closer to dominating the N.H.L Aside from the ludicrous notions of this individual’s paranoia, two aspects of the article emerge as

Education To the editor

Recently I have become aware of a petition which has been circulated throughout this and other universities which calls for the banning of “all military or para-military weapons with the exception of members of armed forces and law enforcement officers for the purpose of their duties.“ It has apparently been circulated in the hopes that legislation would prevent the re-occurrence of the Montreal massacre. I “feel it is not appropriate and urge all persons to read it carefully and then @ore it. XThe phrase “military and paramilitary weapons” is far too open to interpretation. If taken literally, it would entail the banning of all firearms in general, cross-bows, longbows, knives etc. since these have all had their origin with military organizations. I do not believe that this is the petition’s aim, but it is so. loosely worded that this is effectively what it entails I own several firearms and fail to see why my rights of legal ownership should be curtailed because of one’

To the ed@~r,

I hesitate to respond to the Voice of Treason column entitled “Ms. Plato” because it is unclear whether the message berates .or commends the’ Ontario College of Art and the Human Rights Commission. The title and introduction s;et a tone of derision towards the OCA’s decision to hire only females, yet the parodic imitation of women’s status in this century, applied to men, is so grimly accurate, that even a selfproclaimed misogynist might be convinced that drastic measures indeed are required. The corollary of each paragraph (e.g. “when women weren’t boss . . .“, ‘“women could become a socioeconomic force of their own”) appears to be that “enough is enough” and that since women will never be equaIs, and will never make good art, they should just be satisfied with the vote. Obviously, the author’s use of role reversal was intended to illustrate that this is not an acceptable alternative, however, I perceived this only after reading between very vindictive and vengeful lines. While I found almost every line objectionable, it is surely reprehensible to print that the women of the OCA are overweight, not suitable objects for art, and that this fact, were it true, could in any way be at the roots of their requests.

not legislation madman. 1 have completed courses on the safe and proper usage of firearms, and enjoyed both target shooting and hunting. I and many like myself would be strongly in favour of more education regarding firearms, and more thorough scrutinizing of potential owners; however the suggestion of an outright ban is simply not warranted. There is no guarantee that an unstable individual could not acquire a firearm ariyway. Ask anyone who has crossed the Canada-U.S. border how easy it can be to smuggle back items that are about the same size as handguns readily available across the border. Does anyone really believe that Lepine would have been deterred by a sign reminding him about the legal aspects of carrying firearms across the border, or that the impact of this tragedy would be lessened because he used a weapon or par& that was not “military military?” Banning firearms will not prevent large Scale violence.

Racing with ‘the / Smun by Marc Gagnon Midnight Sun Team As you may have already heard, a team of students is currently working on Midnight Sun, the University of Waterloo’s entry in the 1990 General Motors SUNRAYCE USA. Midnight Sun will be competing against students from 31 other universities in North America. GM SUNRAYCE USA will be a south-to-north, transcontinental U.S., solar-powered car race beginning in July 1990. The race w.ill run approximately 1,800 miles from GM’s World t,f M&ion pavilion at Walt Disney World in Florida to GM’s Technical Ctbntre outside Detroit. s joining GM and the Chevrolet Motor Division to help plan and stage thtk race arc the U.S. Department of Enprgv and the Society of Automotivtl Engineers. General Motors will st>nd the top three finishers in GM SUNRAYCE USA, to compete in the World Solar Challenge that will be held in November of 1990. Midnight Sun is the largest student project ever taken on by the Universitv of Waterloo, with a budget of well over $200,000. The single passenger vehicle which is powered solely by solar energy, will be able to attain . speeds of over 100 km/hr. The Midnight Sun team is drawing on valuable experience gained through participation in other student competitions such as the Shell Fuelathon and the Formula SAE. The Midnight Sun team has made

some steady progress during the last few months, with many tomponents of the car well under construction and nearing completion. The team’s leader, Marc Gagnon, is currently working full time on the vehicle as his 38 mechanical engineering co-op work term, and two of the group leaders, Rob Leslie and Shawn Marshall, are also both doing their 3B mechanical engineering co-op work terms on campus and are thus able to work on the vehicle in

their spare time. The remaining team members (approximately 20) are able to work on the vehicle after their classes and on the weekends. The team’s next major event is participation at the Toronto International Auto Show that runs from February 15 to 25. This auto shqw was visited by over 250,000 people last year, and should provide an excellent opportunih to raise public interest and awaren& with respect to our entry in GM SIJN-

Sa<ferp%3Sticides by Phillip Chee Imprint staff The recent change’in attitude on the environment has brought about a’ new awareness of human activities. One Ievel of this awareness is the growing consensus that indiscriminate spraying of chemical pes-+ ticides for crop protection, is a deadly practice. However, many biologists have realized the folly of this idea, and have been investigating other ways of insect control. This research area goes back a generation, and was au thorita tiveIy documented by Rachel Carson in her book, S&r Spriug, almost 30 years ago. For the past 20 years, Dr. Roger Downer of UW’s biology department has been studying the biophysiotogy and biochemistry of insects. Downer has devoted his research in trying to understand insects, and what is unique and important in how they function. “Armed with this knowledge, we can exploit these systems to bring about the suppression of insect populations,” Downer expIairis. He prefers the term “suppression” rather than “control,” as control conveys an image of “nature existing for the convenience of man,” which is based on archaic biological and philosophical ideas. In the last seven to eight years, DownerS work has been trying to lead the pesticide industry in a direction of producing acceptable and environmentally safe compounds.

“This is mod&n thinking in terms of regulation,” Downer says. The current buzzword is, “integrated pest management.“He recognizes there is a time to use chemicals, but there are other strategies available that pose less risk to the environment. This is called biotic control. The notion of using insect predators, or introducing diseases into insect populations for crop protection is not a recent inhovation. During the 193Os, the microorganism of the genus Bdlrw, was used to fight a Japanese beetle outbreak in the eastern U.S. The spores from this insect pathogen were used to introduce “milky white” disease, into the beetle population. However, other discoveries similar to this were slow to impact on mainstream biological research, partly because of the almost total reliance on chemical insecticides. The current philosophy now embraces a greater research emphasis to use microorganisms suited for insect suppression. Downer is looking at ways to use the science of biotechnology to bring about better insect management. By engineering insect pathogens that are almost custom-made, Downer feels more effective management is possible; without adding more man-made chemicals into the ecosystem. This requires an understanding of the chemisty of enzymes and structural proteins. Hence, his lab has been looking into the expression of particular proteins in natural bacuioviruses, through recombinant

,g something we .ld know about?

DNA technology._-_tt protein expression is successful in these “biolr$$cal factories”, the next step is to see if they are indeed harmful to the target insects. Probably fhe best known exdmple is- the use ofBtr(4l~r.s ~/rr/r~~~g~~~~~,si,s in the control of moths, The vegetative spore of this microbe produces a toxic protein that is specific for the digestive tract of the moth. The toxin acts like a “diet suppressant”, and causes th’e insect to lose its appetite. Eventually it starves to death. But more importantly, the protein has no effect on plants or humans.

An important development that will help research in this area, was the creation of a Centre of Excellence of Biotechnology for Insect Pest Management. Downer was invited to head a node at Waterloo. c The scope of this centre will help bring together resources and expertise from academia,- industry, and guvernment. The centre is headquartered at Queen’s, with other nodes at U of T, York, Naval, and Western Agriculture Canada, Ontario. Cyanamid, and C.1.L have tie-ins to the network. The centre will receive sY.2 million, ‘with $350,000 going to UW. With NSERC and strategic grants, and minor industrial contracts, DOWner is now in the position of embarking on a major research effort. His initial task at present will be to attract the best workers for this progressive Hopefully, other clearly program. thought out concepts will emerge from similar research philosophies.

Stay in school forever!

Siiiwe by Peter John&n During the spring term of this year, 33 ~0-0~ BSc candidates from the faculty of science will be attending Que&S University, the first group to participate in the science teaching option. The University of Waterloo has a well-established French teaching option in connection with Brock University, and a mathematics teaching option through Western, but UW’s science teaching option was just approved in December by the faculty of education at Queens. All in Ontario must be teachers accredited through a faculty of education. The science teaching option requires that one co-op work term be replaced with a term at Queen’s University, and two work terms be replaced with two terms teaching, A teaching term must precede the term at Queen’s. Students who enter the program right after their 2B term could

offers graduate as teachers within the five years of an honours Co-op BSc. The normal route for teacher training in any subject is eight months at any faculty of education after a three- or four-vear baccalaureate degree _~ from a university. With the science teaching option, the honours co-op BSc (through UW) and the BEd (through Queen’s) are earned concurrently. Teachers in Ontario must be certified for two teaching subjects, The first teachable subject requires at least ten half-credits in a discipline. The second teachable subject requires at least six half-credits in another discipline. According to the arrangement for this science teaching option, the first teachable subject must be biology, chemistry or physics and the second biology, chemistry, physics or mathematics. The earth sciences are not eligible for this option. The job-placement procedure for the science teaching option is similar to that of the established co-op procedure, but the process is

teaching streamlined: teaching jobs for science, math, and French are all advertised in a special Want Ads paper containing about 100 positions. Interviews are limited to one week, followed by ranking and computer selection. Placements are confirmed the next week. According to Ruth Parker of the department of co-operative education and career services, about 40 UW students are enrolled in the program and 28 taught on work terms last fall. These students were given excellent reviews. Salaries for teaching terms are lower than other co-op disciplines, but are increasing. Currently, there is a shortage of teachers in Ontario in all subjects mainly due to lucrative early-retirement benefits, but the shortage is acute in the sciences, mathematics, computer science, and French. School boards in Peel, Halton, York, Durham, Barrie, Ottawa, Kingston, Brockville, and all of the Metro Toronto boards are interested

Green future by Neil Bamett Imprint staff

Green Future, a non-radical environmental group, recently lobbied in front of Queen’s Park and Ontario Hydro to, according to their Waterloo spokesperson Peter Jantzi, stress the government’s responsibility in large scale energy conservation. Green Fuhlre is engaged in making people aware that we need nut continually expand energy production, but should rather spend effort in conservation. While conceding that Ontario Hvdro’s media campaign aimed at p&ate consumer conservation wiI1 yield some energy savings, Green Future would prefer that the government put more emphasis on conservation in institutions and industrv. Green Future wants the government to spend their monies on high efficiency light bulbs instead of new nuclear reactors. Quoting an Energy Probe study, Jantzi says chan@ng to high efficiency bulbs ,in institutions and industry would cost’(the government) $5 billion.

Too late to learn? by Cindy Long Special to Imprint Cimiv Long is a UW graduate and former hprint reporter. She is cumwtiy teuching grades seven and eight in Summer Beuver, Ontario. a fly-in Ujibway community north uf Thunder Bqv. 7X& is the third in a series of features; the pwviuus twu were published in the January 5 and 26 issues. When they hired me, I believed at the time I would teach in the primary grades, probably grade one/two. The grade three/four had a teacher already, as did the grade five/six. 1did not want kindergarten because I did not speak Ojibway and the children coming into the school spoke no English. I had heard only horror stories about teaching at the grade seven/eight level in native schools. Sometime in July I received a phone call from the future principal informing me I had been assigned to teach grade seven/eight. With grave reservations and a lack of training at the intermediate grade levels, I found myself on my first day of teaching confronting a class of children ranging from age 12 to 16 with ability levels ranging from grades two to six (by Southern Canada standards). They stared at me, and that was all. They did not speak, did not question, and only barely followed direction, obviously disliking every minute spent in the room. Almost one-third of the class had failed the previous year. To complicate the situation, I found the principal’s daughter in my class. A very I bright, articulate girl of712, her chatter, smiles and questions were in stark contrast with the . sullen atmosphere. I feared for her well-being ’ from that first day as I noted the silent glances from the other students. It seems that responsibility for communicating anger, pain, frustration and hatred has been delegated to the teenage grade seven/eigfit class of Summer Beaver, and they handle that one responsibility i admirably. No one else acknowledges that such feelings even exist here. Denial has become a way of life. In the security of the school environment, the teenagers act out their frustration. For the first two weeks, the hostility was kept in check I was being tested, watched. When they decided they had seen enough to p~po~t the weak spots, they moved in lie wolves circling for the kill. It started with muttered insults and tricks, progressed to spitballs, verbal abuse and destruction of classroom materials, and wound up the same way this class winds up every year, with blatant verbal abuse, occasional physical abuse, destructiveness and a general environment which makes learning next to impossible.

The one white girl in the class suffered right along with me as we were taunted with “white nigger,” “white bitch” and “white trash” almost daily. When they couldn’t take out their anger on me for fear of reprisal, Sharon (not her real name; al1 names have been changed) would get a cup of water down her back, or her pencils stolen. She has managed the situation well, given her age, but I feel for her and curse a situation that does not allow me to comfort her immediately; it would only make things worse if she were perceived as teacher’s pet.

kindergarten child. Believe it or not, Joel is not an exceptional case. His behaviour is a slightly, but only slightly, extreme example of the behaviour of almost all these teenagers. I did discover part of Joel’s problem. He could not read. His frustration in a grade where it was assumed one could read must have been immense. Since then, he has been on a modified program which has him reading more and more each day. He is making progress, but very slowly, and the behaviour, while less of a problem, still makes working

work or make them out of plastercine. Since this is partIy a ploy to shock me, I am careful to react with non-interest or with great enthusiasm: “Wow! You know how to draw a penis!! That’s excellent! Does your father know how well you can draw? Let’s save this one and show him!!” That ended the anatomical-artist career of one of my boys rather abruptly. Last week, Roberta broke a piece of glass off an already broken window and held it against my neck.

I refuse to believe that to be a Native means to fail “If you don’t let me do my word puzzle book, 111cut your throat,” she threatened. “You can cut my throat if you want,” I replied calmly, “but it won’t change the fact that you’re expected to do schoolwork here.” She laughed and threw the glass away. Inwardly, my whole being sighed with relief. I wasn’t sure she wouldn’t have done it, but I knew from last year that she wanted a major reaction and a big fuss, and I was determined not to give her either. ***

Two teachers I have known who worked in Native schools quit at Christmas. Last year’s teacher quit psychologically although remaining physically until the end of the year. It is easy to understand why.

+** “How’s your class so far? How are the boys?” one teacher asks me in September. ‘?‘he boys are fine,” I .reply, ‘%‘s the girls who give me the hardest time.” She smiles. “Wait until Joel gets back.” Joel had been out fishing with his family and arrived back just before the end.of September. He appeared to be a polite, quiet child and I wondered at the legitimacy of the warning . . , for about five days. Jbel tore into the classroom after recess one day, screamed “I’m freezing my bails off out there!” and threw open the door of the stove, exposing the room to a fiery blast which w,ould result in an uncomfortably hot classroom long before noon hour. I walked over to the stove.

*** The first student I was warned of, even before Joel, was Roberta. “She pulled a knife on her teacher last year,“I was told. Great. Just what I needed to hear: Roberta is 15. She failed a few times in the primary grades. She still cannot read very well. She has been designated as the “troublemaker” and lives up to the reputation with a flourish. Roberta’s favourite classroom antic is disrupting a lesson which requires listening. So far, during math lessons or explanations ofa project, I have been asked by Roberta if I am a vi.rg& whether or not I shave, how often I wash, whether sitting on the edge of a desk “feels good,” and so on. She’s not the only one, although she usuaIly starts it. The preoccupation with sexuality would come as a shock to a Southern teacher. The boys draw genitals, usually male, on their

The first reaction of iomeone outside the situation is shock; that and to question why these kids are not dealt with more harshly. The fact is, they have been dealt with harshly in the past. But now that they are physically too big to be controlled, all their repressed anger is coming out. The idea that anger and pain are normal feelings has not caught on in this community. No mechanisms exist for dealing with them, except denial. The European school system contrasts sharply with the culture of indigenous peoples. Children are expected to speak English. They are expected to listen and respond verbally rather than watch and copy physically. They are expected to sit still, keep quiet, ask permission and twrsically live up to a standard that is entirely different from the standard of the community. LiMe wonder they are reacting with hostility by the age of 12 Why didn’t I leave at Christmas? Why did I ret-urn to another term of abuse and craziness? I suppose I am stubborn. That’s one reason. I refuse to believe that to be a Native means to fail at school. There has to be a way to make learning an activity that these kids wiIl enjoy. I refuse to accept that their negative side is 4.l they can show me, and my refusaI has, in the few rewarding moments I have experienced, resulted in at least some progress with this class. My first term I tried to teach the way I had been taught to teach. I tried to evoke some interest in anything by providing activities and materials for the students to use. They

page 12 wouldn’t toucn tnem. I ney wouldn’t do anything on their own. They wanted me to w&ie things on the board that the could copy into notebooks and that was Q7I they wanted to do. Any effort on my part to encourage active learning rather than passive copying was met with extreme hostility and destruction of materials provided. I had to find another way or I would not survive. I found it, predictably, with my language program, the one area in which I feel personally confident and very we11 qualified. Spelling is a serious problem for these students. They don’t read enough to learn the words well by sight and they never study. This term 1 tried something different. Instead of giving them words at the beginning of the week, going over them all week and testing them at the end of the week, I cut myself several 1.5 X 10 cm cards. As the students wrote in their journals, I copied down each word they as-tied me to spell on one of these cards and gave them to the student whti asked for them. At the end of the day I put all the cards up -on a bulletin board. The next day, I requested that they use some of those words in their writing, if they could. The cards were left up all week. More were added as I was asked other words duiing the week. By the end of the week the b&rd was full bf words, written iri black magic marker on bright yellow cards. I noticed ail week that students were writing more in their journals. On Friday I gave them a surprise spklling quiz at the end 07 the day (after taking all the words down). To my amazement, each student spelled 40 per cent of the words correctly. And 80 per cent knew 60 per cent of them or more. What really surprisid me was this: even the words that were spelled wrong were very close. “Persade” for “persuade” and “motem” for “modem.” This is a tremendous improvement over the old method, where if they didn’t know the word, they really didn’t have a clue, sometimes not even getting the first letter down. The words came from the students and therefore had meaning. They remembered them. I don’t want to think about what the native language teachers must have thought when they saw the words “condom,” ‘Xkinis” and “sexual” on my bulletin board, but the words didn’t come from me . . . Most importantly, though, my students have started writing daily and seem to be

CFSREFERENDUM

In November 1987, students at Waterloo were asked if they wished to be members of the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS). At that time, I urged students to vote “no.” In fact, not only did 1 urge students to vote no, I acted as the chairperson of the No-CFS Committee. T4vc1 and a half years later, I am the chairperson of the Waterloo, Yes-CFS campaign. What has changed? Why shou td Waterloo students want to pay $2 per term to be members of the CFS? Personally, I never doubted the of a national student importanctz organization. Over five billion dollars in transfer payments through the Established Program Financing (EPF) Act trverv year are given to the provinces for post-secondary education. Many WattAm students receive monev through the Canada Student Loan Program, and Waterloo gets a lot of monev from th& federally funded research councils. In 1987, then: was another national student organization. Schools like the Universitv of Calgary, Western, and Queen’s had pulled out of CFS, and were members of something called the Canadian University Students’ Executive Councii (CUSEC). L~~rge schools were trving it on their own.

damzing days CUSEC is now dead. ‘l’he truth is they never came close to matching the resources of CFS; they never had an office in Ottawa, they never had people working full time with the government, and with the media. Most importantly for us, schools like Calyary, Western and Queen’s have ioined CFS as prospective members. These schools will be running referenda over the next eighteen mclnths.

For example, when the federal government struck a special working group on student aid, CFS was appointed as the official voice of students. As nonmembers, Waterloo would have no sav in what the federal gqvemment is h;aring from students. 3. Adding Waterloo’svoice to the CFS wiI1 make the national student lobbying more effective.

The CFS is opposed to tuition, and we can’t legitimize ‘any rise in tuition.” CFS, in effect, is opposed to any increases in OSAP grants and loans.

Also at this meeting, a motion was brought forward to extend the meeting time by 15 minutes so that the upcoming year’s operating budget could be passed. It was debated for 53 minutes. How can an organization that cannot reasonably control debate at their own general meeting be an effective lobby group for the students at Waterlou? In Ottawa, with CFS”fighting for a better education,” we are going to lose the WAR!

CFS provides students with many services, including Travel Cuts, Student Work Abroad Program and Student Saver, all of which are ava+jlable to non-member students. CFS intends to set up a computer network called CFS-Net to link all CFS schools, which will cost tens ,of thousands of dollars. Why don’t they use one of the three exi$ing networks: USENET, NET-Noqh, or CANET?

CFS: highway to hell or stairway to heaven? If CFS is a national student lobby group, why does it have policies on International trade, El SaIvador and South Africa? These, to me, do not sound like student concerns. In 1987, CFS’did not believe in rep resentation by population. A school of 300 paying only $600 in fees received the same weighted vote as a school of 25,000 paying $50,000 in fees. In 1990, nothing has changed.

Is it fair to force every student to involuntarily pay $2 every term to join an organization that does not represent them and is completely ineffective? The issues today are the +ne as they were in 1987 when Waterloo students said NO to joining CFS by a margin of almost two to one. It is time for you to make the decision. It is your money. Do you want to waste it?

; After a heated debate; the committee chairperson and the CFS st& person walked out. No vote took place. Is this democracy in action? How effective can a lobby group be if they tell the voting members what the issues are? Shoulhn’t it‘be the other way around?

My name is Mark Elliott, and I’m running for president of the kderation of Students; however, there is more to me than just the issues. Stop! Please don’t turn to the personals now, I’m just getting started! IstartedatUWin1984andinthat time I have been actively involved in miny areas of the university. These indude campus recreation, the oncampus alcohol co&, the committee on student appeals, a two-time summer employee of UW Plant C$erations and a village don for the last six terms. All of these contribute tomyreasonsforrunningforpresident, and they all give me the ex&ence to be a successful student

It is important -t-d C-m-

that whoever you Cpdpwllbic\n

strong university is not the academics, not the sports, not the social life - but all of these. Right now each of’these exist as individuals, but they should be as a group. School spir& academics and enthusiasm must be brought together in balanced- proportionsWhen this happens our school will become a-better place to be for both academics and social enjoyment. In closing I would like to urge you to follow the issues and the candidates themselves. When you’ve done this, you‘should then go out and elect the person you feel best rep resents your interestsh

executive -must be appra ach able. Having worked extensive 1Y and closely with students in the IaSIt six years has taught me a lot Everyone here is equal and we have to treat each other in that way. This means talking with each person, no2 talking at them or talking them down- We also must be strong listeners and keep an open mind to all new ideas. All of these are keys to a friendly but still strong Fed president. Since all the issues and the candidates’ positions are welldocumented in last week’s Imprint. I’ll only touch on them here. They include underfunding, recycling s&o@ spirit, the student life building, co-op job quality and housing. Since space here is limited, please take the time to read the issues and {allow the elect5on. One of my goals, if elected president, is to impress upon people that at Waterloo you must be a p”ticipant as weI1 as an observer. What makes a ’ ^ - I

society executive for three yea=. I was also lucky enough to be on last term’s Homecoming executive. My experience is broad and diverse; which, I hope, will make it easier to tackle the issues which face us as students.. Issues. There are so many that come to mind. Here are just a few. Caap: We must ensure that students’ needs are placed ahead of, employers’ needs. A telephone/ housing directory - must be established. wouaing: The housing office must be revamped. We need an effective off-campus directory so students can

upgrided lighting and encourage the use of the new student security force. Environment: This means more than just recycling. We must make a firm commitment to address all environmental issues which affect us. Recyclingmust be implemented campus-wide. The administration must toe the line. Parking: We need short-term metered parking along Ring Road. This is no longer convenience but necessity. I could go on and on, but space is limited. In conclusion, I’d-like to encourage you to read what the other candidates have to say. Weigh the issues and candidates carefully, and abve all, get out and VOTE!!! Make your voice heard on February 13 tid 14. Best of luck to you in weeks and months to follow, and 1 look forward to working with you as your tie-’ fK+ident (univtity affahs).

The Federation of Students’ elections are now drawing to a close. You will have the opportunity to vote next Tuesday and Wednesday. I hope that you take advantage of this chance to set tie course that will benefit all students. By now you have probably had at least one candidate address you in a lecture. I hope I,was that candidate. This is probably my last chance to tell you about some of the issues

vices need to be improved, expanded and, most importantly, maintained. f+deration Ha11 and the Bombshelter are quality venues and these must remain competitive against all the new bars around town in terms of drawing top name acts. Safety on campus remains a top priority in terms of resource allocations. 1am committed to ensuring the longevity of the student security force. I also see a need for a second safety van. There have been fears in the past that a second van would double the

So, why do 1 want to be vicepresident (university affairs) anyway? During the past four years as a student at UW, I have lea&d a great deal.

Regarding academics, I’m in my fourth year in an honours history program with a political science minor. Regarding the social scene, I believe I have diverse and edensive that qualifies me as a suitable candidate for the position of VPUA. Writing this piece is perhaps the most challenging moment of the campaign thus far. It reminds me of grade school, when we had to write compositions on “What I Want To Be When 1 Grow Up.” There’s so much to say in so few words. While at UW, I have been president and treasurer of the History Society, chairperson and safety commissioner for the .Women’s Issues Board of the Federation of Students, founder and co-ordinator of the Student Securitv

At this time, the most important initiative to expand Federation services, is the Student Life Building.

I believe experience is not necessary for the position of VPUA; however, it is definitely an asset. Energy, enthusiasm, and dedication are further prerequisites for this position. 1 would like to become VPUA because I truly am proud to be a UW student and i would try mv best to make every student f&l this way.

of the skits is p&arily a group effort. With that in mind, it’s a wonder that the show ever makes it past the drawing boards. * Surprisingly, the skits all play very well. They rely on running gags, like Lorenzo and his brother Darius and his other brother Darius. They also rely on the reworking of iyrics to tunes many will recognize, and on references to topical issues like the Miss Octoberflesh pageant and polluted drinking water. Some moments might make you guffaw right out loud. The skit sending up the Imprint. - called ‘ThP Printer of our. Discontent” parodies favourite passages from 1 Shakespeare. writing

They’re back, those madcap F.A.S.S. people. It’s another motley assemblage of wit, style and savori, battling the bhh, de&ing the dullminded, and generally bringing the lowest form of humour to previously unplumbed depths: Yes, it’s FAS%cal Studies 1990, offering courses in “Life, the Wniversity and Everything.” Professor Edward Lacktic is played by Peter Carette, looking suspiciously professorial. Lacktic presents a two and a half hour multi-media lecture on the rise of the University of Waterloo and the parallel - if less significant - rise of western civilization. He manages to tie six skits and a cast of thousands into an albiet rickety framework. The tie is a journey from prehistoric man’s first yearnings for higher education - “University is college without the tech classes” through ancient times. The journey moves through the Dark Ages and on through Prohibition into the future. Here “Doug Wright’s brain” proves the undoing of civilization as we know it. Imagine it if you will. My source, F.A.S.S. uresident Briai Holmes, informs rng that the

F.A.S.S., which stands for Faculty, Administration; Staff and Students, is strictly a voiunteer affair mounted by the &forts of amateur and not-soamateur theatrical types. Director Preston Gut-d has assembled the cast and crew to turn entertaining out a highly production. FASSical Studies runs from Wednesday February 7th through Saturday the 10th at 8 pm, with two performances on Friday the 9th at 7 pm and 10 pm.

Meat

Puppets:

an artist’s

conception.

The Meat Puppets are somewhat of an anomaly in the music business. That they existe_d for nearly a decade in the alternative/punk genre i,v weird (considering the Damned breakup and various Ramones’ line-up ’ changes). Yet, the Meat Puppets do the next to impossible ,thing: they constantly release albums that remain challenging and required listening. Saturdav’s show at Guelph’s Albion H&l saw the trio in their. glory: tight musicianship, hot and oblivious to their grooves, audience. The last point deserves comment. The Meat Puppets are unlike m’ost underground bands. They never pander to their enthusiasts. With as little as hello and goodbye (and a little banter), the Puppets concentrated their effqrts on performing their music. They did not take to requests. The encore they gave that night was quite a surprise: they are on record as stating they don’t do ‘em (and definitely did not last time they hit Toronlo). So the Meat Puppets are hardly endearing. So be it. Clicfies and pat music phraseology are just as useless as original and lucid prose for describing their charms. Somewhere behind their hermetics lays a brilliant fusion of country sens-il$lities and punk attack. If this is evident in their albums, especially

the impossibiv groovy A4rrl P~I/P/Jcv.~ II, it is doubly so in <he context of a concert. inskad of shrugging off punk and country as an incompatible dichotomy, the Meat Puppqts create A sound which revels in the grandeur of both. In between FuIsom Prison and the Bullocks is found a unique sound. Some used to call it cowpunk. - But as most catch-phrases go, it cannot really convey the sense of immediacy and raw power that the Mat Puppets are about on stage. Their live performance is anything but static. Often choppy and often abrupt, their power chords and heavy percussion will give way to the delicate interplay between guitar and rhythm section, sans warning. This ability to switch gears in progress gives them an edge often found dull in other performers. They almost have the knack of improv jazz musicians. By refusing to hint at what comets next, the Meat Puppets kept the audience pierced on this edge. By delivering what they refused to prt+ mise, they used the edge tocleave the atidience apart and let loose a flow of physic sweat. As for the openers, Gventh Dream Day, they showcased a spirited sound that more than made up for their slight imagination and relative lack of diversity. Their cover of Neil Young’s “Souihern Pacific” deserves mention, as did the sexy chick behind the drum kit

It was some enchclntinas by Ma& Dixon Imprint staff Haydn certainly must have had a talent like Steven Isserlis in mind when he composed his Curtrvtiua/br Cdlu iit U mijur. lssedis gave a thoroughly enchanting concert Saturday evening, at Kitchener’s Centre in the Square. Delicately and precisely accompanied by the K-W Symphony, Isserlis’ sonorous tone was the perfect complimeht to this very‘ classical concerto. Playing with gut strings, Isserlis is able to enhance the soft, breathy voice of the cello. The exceptional acoustics of the concert hall preserved his rich cadenzas for an iippreciative audience. After this remarkable performance, I was sorry that I had not been ;tble to see Isserlis in recital at the KWCMS Music Room, January 31. I Anton Bruckner’s L~l~/r~/&o~~~l~ tw, 7 1II E rllr@r proved a dramatic contrast to the first half, This expansive Romantic work requires ar immense brass section (complete with four euphoniums!), additional strings and woodwinds. Under the direction of Agnes

Grossman, the K-W Symphony met thechallenge offered by this dramatic piece. The first movement opened with a soft tremulo in the strings, added cello and horn and soared into a brass chorale. The more thoughtful second movement (Adagio) was written in part as a lamentation of Wagner’s death. In it, Bruckner has written some wonderful counterpoint. KWS was careful to bring this out. The walls of the concert hall rang in the Scherzo. The sheer force of three trombonists virtudlly iron-lunged knocked us out of our seats in the finale. Fun stuff for Bruckner, a mild mannered composer known for his piety. Those of you interested in future concerts should know that half-price tickets are available on the day of most Centre in the Square performances. Acoustically, it is. the best Canadian concert hall I’ve been in, in fact the Toronto Symphony prefers to record here over Roy Thompson Hall. Check it out February 24 when the K-W Philharmonic Choir presents Mwwt: ves~?L-vYwSOlPfi t?L’S & Curlf~~~rt~ and Schulx~n: M~SX Nu. 6 it 1 .‘b.

Prostitutes, nude bisexuals, yuppies, gay men, lesbians, serial murderers, adulterers, and sadomasochists. If you’ve always had a secret desire to see a play involving these, L'~lidwr~fkrl Hlrrlwr~ RLwIlri!r.Y crrlcl ~Iw 7i~tj :Vtltlvc trf’ LOGY is what you’ve btlen waiting for, And best of all, writer Brad Fraser weaves these characters together in an exciting way that avoids gratuitous sensationalism. This play with the unbearablv long title is fantastic. U~~idtwtifj~~tl ffttn11111 Rtwwi/t.+... focuses on David (Stratford star Brent Carver), who is a gay waiter and former CBC actor, and his “woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown,” roommate Candy (Lenore Zann). As they struggle to alternately avoid and discover the nature of love, we are introduced to their friends, lovers,’ and acquaintances. Everyone does Iots of talking, not much listening, and has tons of sex. Benita (Kristina Nicoll) is the proverbial prostitute with a heart of gold and is the most well adjusted of the bunch. She also functions as a kind of chorus, recounting with obvious delight tale after tale of ax-murdered babysitters ,tnd mutilated boyfriends.

Action and dialogue is fragmented and often assumes a dreamlike quality.

by John Zachariah Imprint staff Jt’s a rarity to recommend a horror movie. To iecommend one without reservation is even more unlikely. But ~~ww:s, now playing at the Cineplex, shatters all preconceptions with panache and smarts. There’s practically rlotllill,~bad about it. No action movie has been paced this well for a long time, the violence (of which there is lots) comes in visceral, lyrical bursts and the film sports an acute sense of terror which transfixes rather than repels. What Wilk;~ll* did for swords-andsorcerers fantasy epics, RWW\ daes for the man-against-nature horror genre, so popular in the ’70s. Does a movie about giant worms terrorizing the pop&x of a small, isolated town in the western U.S. sound a Iittle cliche-ridden to you? Sure it does. But the new twists put on these old ideas is sure to whip you up into a frenzy of delighted disgust as all sorts of victims falJ prey to the creepy crawly carnivores. The design teani that created these monsters deserves some kind of award. Every appearance they make will have you recoiling in disgust, but you won’t hide your eyes completely. The picture moves briskly, primarily by balancing the purelyfor-thrills action with some ‘real human drama. For instance, Michael Gross and Reba McEntire, playing a husband and wife bent by the survivalist ethos, are at first laughable in their xenophobia, paranoia and the ridiculous concern they have for military technology. But, in the end, their skills and preparedness prove to be very valuable. Twists like this set Tr~~~rc~s apart from, say, the legendary h?rl~$t~rn 01 /hcp Sjli&r~ to which, superficially, it bears a resemblance. The movie’s appeal does not rely on some cheap noveI gimmick - explanations rrf the worms’ origin, atways dry and scicntifically suspect In other pictures, are all but absent in 7i~~ot:s. The appeal, as mentioned before, rests on a good balance of various violence, elements like humour, action, chills, horror, drama, etc. Tn other words, this movie is a right hoot and is helped a great deal by the presence of the much-loathed Kevin Bacon (welcome back).

It is no coincidence that the first five lines of dialogue in L/tlitl~~~r[/L~~l are “skin,” H~I~zw~ R~wwir~s... “blood,” “breasts, ” “hair,” and “feet.” The play is an explicit, disturbing and sometimes surprisingly funny exploration of love, death, and body parts in thz 90s.

Jump with me once again - February 1990, and a new single by The Mission. Gt{c-:~s M#~II ir .stll&y like: “Butterfly On A Wheel” is easily the Mission’s smoothest moment. Wayne and Co. have apparently raided Robert Smith’s laxative cabinet, and in true Mish style of excess, devoured the whole lot in one fell swoop. Musically, it doesn’t hit its stride till about 2/3 the way through and then.. . whoosh! Also, what happened to the over-the-top lyrics? Gone forever are sexual double-entendres like “Foreign tongues in familiar places.”

by Trevor Blair Imprint staff Husker Du left the world with a whimper, just as songs like “Turn It Around” seemed to pave their road to rehabilitation. Even at their most gloomy, Du were always brilliant. The writing workhorses of Bob Mould and Grant Hart churned out five albums (two of them double), one EP and six singles between ‘84 and ‘87. After the split, Hart was the first out of the gate with his solo E.P. ?S41. three songs that, after a year of listening, haven’t even begun to wear out their welcome. Mould rebounded with l#?~rkl~~k, one of my favourites of ‘89. /rrtol~rrrrru is a stunning achievement, more diverse than anything Du did. Hart seems to be playing around with styles, getting on with life more than th,e emtional exorcism of M/irr*XhovX allowed Mould. In playing around though, Hart has a few misfires, re-working old material and creating a strange muddled sound on “You’re the Victim” and “Always.” The reworkings of “2541” and “Come Come” are “rocked up,” sounding OK, but’ don’t really contribute anflhing to the spirit of the originals. “Twenty-five Forty-one”

’ Back in the humid haze of last summer, Wayne Hussey, frontman for the moderately-popular Mission met up with Robert Smith, frontman for the mega-popular Cure. liussey blushingly (and through the bottom of an empty bottle), told him “fknow, I’ve always wanted to be in The Cure,” or something to that effect.

stagnant rock wasteland. The rollmg, layered keyboards of “Senses,” the scieeching harmonica in “Now That,” the church organs and Hart’s chiming cvmbals in “Angels” all snub the sac&d grounds of rock. In doing so, they lay the footsteps for another generation of followers.

Instead we get cryptic stuff like “I’m falling into the arms of nemeses, I’m falling into the grip of disease,” from “Grip of Disease”. Now let’s figure this out. If Wayne thinks that Disease is his Nemeses, what does that make Wayne? Uhhuh.

by Sandy Atwal Imprint staff Bauhaus. The name represents a change in music, beyond the “goth rock” label attached to the band by the music business. Bauhaus was one of the most important postpunk bands around and owed much of its fame and fans to Peter Murphy, the band’s singer. In 1983 the band broke up into Love and Rockets and a solo career for Peter Murphv. IIN/>* is his third album and if it is any indication of where Murphv is headed, he’s going to be surpassing Love and Rockets’ commercial success bv far. The musical instruments are standard: kevboard, guitar, bass and drums. But the first thing that struck me \tcls the production qualitv of the r4but71, the perfect recording that made the album sound like it had about fourteen artists plaving everything from a’midi keyboard to ;1 violin. The most striking.thing about the album, however is Murphv’s voice. His dark brooding lyrics match his dark brooding voice. He has a pretty deep voice actually, but I don’t think _

Devil’s-Teeth/ And that Which Cannut be Repeat.” The song mulls over a continuing inner conflict. Its strength lies in its efficiency of words, not wasting space in crmv;ying the singer’s message with imagery of religious icons and wastelands. The best song on the album is the second single, and the first video, “Cuts You Up.” The’violin is a haunting backdrop to the strong percussion instruments. it has very much the same feel as Scarlet Rivera’s violi? on Dvlan’s “Desire.” God knows what the cryptic images in the lyrics are, but sdmetimes its just better enjoy without questioning The topics of the songs aren’t easily explained.

Who is the best team in the OUAA West division? It’s still a mystery after last week’s home-and-home showdown between the elite pair. Thursday, Feb. 1, the Waterloo Warriors fell 4-2 to the Laurier Golden Hawks at Waterloo Arena. W rebounded at the Columbia Icefield on last Sunday afternoon, holding on to edge the Hawks 6-5. On Wednesday night, they struggled to an ugly 5-3 home win over Guelph. These results, combined with Laurier’s 8-4 victory over York on Wednesday, leave LJW still three points back of WLU. But Wednesday’s victory clinches second place in the division for the Warriors, guaranteeing them, along with Laurier, a bye to the second round. “We have two goals remaining in the regular season,” said UW coach Don McKee, who recognizes the unlikelihood of catching Laurier now. “The first is to have the best goalsagainst average in the country, and the second is perfecting of special teams.” McKee spoke highly of his squad after splitting with the Hawks “We proved a lot to ourselves by beating-them back here to even the pair of games.

boards which produced either scores. or freethrows: uw’s post men were outrebounded 28-10. Waterloo was forced to throw three pointers for much of the game, but even that turned into a brick tossing drill at 4-for-18. To add to the damage, the Warriors sank a pitiful 41 percent from the hardwood+ Luckily, the team went 15-for-19 on granny tosses, Ron Braley paced Waterloo’s scoring attack with 17 points, despite goitig 7-for-17 inside. Andy Zienchuk chalked up 14 points and now sits in fifth place overall in OUAA West individual scoring. Rookie sensation John Hamilton pottgd two treys in the second half en route to a ten point night, while teammate John Bilawey led all rebounders with 12. “We didn’t do anything different with our game plan,” commented Phillips. “Our mys built themselves a losing streak, an$ I told them they would have to(,c~~~e. out today and compete bet& tolend it.” When Brock upset our Warriors on Wednesday, it was just one element of a magnificent turnaround year. Last year the Badgers finished the season with an embarassing 0-14 record. They are 5-4 so far this year. Waterloo had another tremendous start, jumping ahead 14-5 in the opening five minutes and warning signs of a cakewalk were present. %, Brock h*ad coach Ken Murray called a much needed timeout to settle his squad down. From then on, their defence tightened up like steel workers’ union-management negotiations. At halftime the Warriors led 46-40. Like many other times this season, UW came out of the dressing room after the break at a turtle-like pace and started shooting cold for most of the second half. As a result, the Badgers took the lead at 15:10, 54-53. A highlight of thecomeback was an alley hoop by 6’9” center Gord Wood on a pass from guard Frank Capretta at the perimeter. With two minutes left, Brock had a nine point bulge, but a Bilawey trey in the final minute helped harrow the gap to a final score of 80-73. ‘I’We had two tremendous starts against Mac and Brock,“said McCrae. ‘“The boys thought that they would never get caught cold like in the McMaster defeat. “But a combination of our cold offence arid their tight defence is what

killed us. We turned over the ball on four or five occassions at money time and Brock converted them into scores and ran away with it.” UW’s Zienchuk paced all scorers with 19 points and 10 rebounds, an impressive number for a 6’3” guard. Braley had a great night against his former teammates from St. Catherines sinking 9-for-14 on an 18 point night. Lngging 39 minutes on the court, BrAey also ripped down 13 rebounds (he is currently third in OUAA West rebounding). Troyak and Bilawey also hit the double digits with 17 and 10 points respectively. Waterloo threw up mortar from treyland, nailing only six of 23 tosses. The Warriors also shot a mediocre 48 percent from the field and an unforglveable 38 percent at the freethrow line.

The turning point h this game seemed to come early in the final frame, when Waterloo kiIled a minor penalty in a dominating fashion, led by Crisp’s lightning-like clearing shot. This defensive triumph seemed to inspire the Warriors to shake off the cobwebs.

He blamed the team’s lack-lustre, sporadic performance upon the three-day rest after two hard games against Lauricr. “This win was more good Luck than good management,” he continued. He wasn’t kidding. Both teams came out unsettled and undisciplined, with passes rarely making it to stickblades. A four minute penalty against UW gave Guelph an early chance, but it was Waterloo who caught the Gryphons by surprise. Jim David took a pass &om Steve Girardi and scored shorthanded to take the lead 1-O. Waterloo sensed the building momentum and surged farther ahead just as their penalty ended. Tony Crisp flew over the blueline, coasted and looked for an opening, and fired. The shot was deflected to the corner, and John Goodmangot the puck back to Crisp in front of the net for Tony’s team-leading 22nd goal of the season. Then the Warriors started to make’ mistakes. Instead of putting away the Gryphons, they let the visitors back into the game with $oppy defence and risky passing. A Waterloo slashing penalty gave the Gryphons the opportunity they sought, and Todd Richardson scored with 21 seconds left in the minor. and came after the Warriors,

For the first time this season, the Waterloo Warriors dominated the field to tie for first in race four of the Pepsi University Racing Series. Each week, a different university has the responsibility of “hosting” the race. Hosting a race entails setting the courses (one in the morning and one in the afternoon), preparing the race hill with flags and banners and helping with the timing and recording of the results. This past week, Waterloo hosted a slalom at the Craigleith Ski Club. Peter Bier and Cdin Rogers bath

faced the challenge of the icy hill to set the courses, With the rain and warm weather that we have been having, it was a difficult task,-but both courses were excellent, challenging yet rhythmical. Bier took advantage of being the course setter and led the team to its first 1990 victory with his third place finish. Colin Rogers was not as lucky.

He straddled a half of a gate on his first run, and a whole gate on his second run. This proved to be a large enough buffer to hold off any

challenges in the second run. Catherine Mainguy, despite a fall in the first run, still managed an eighth place. Rookie Linda Glenday had a good race finishing 14th, her best finish this season. The icy course took its toll on the remaining Athenas with Crin Churchill in 15th spot, Maria Burton 22nd, and Tina Lukezic in 26th. Despite their troubles, the Athenas still managed a second place finish. This leaves them in second in the OWIAA standings, just 26 points behind Western, going into the provincial championships this Thursday and Friday. The Pepsi University Series raps up this weekend at Craigleith with a slalom on Thursday and a giant slalom Friday. At this time, the OUAA and OWIAA final standings will be decided.

Last weekend the University of Waterloo nordic ski team travelled to Sudbury for the last qualifying .meet before the OUAA/OyAA finals. The event featured all the participating university ski teams and UW had a very fine weekend. The Waterloo women raced a ten kilometre skating technique race in _- _ 113 degrees Celcius temperatures with some wind as an added bonus. UW placed three skiers in the top 15. Rhonda Williams placed sixth, Fiona Griffiths Ilth, and Brigid Rowan 14th. Eva Sanz-Sole placed 18th in a field of approximately 70 competitors and it was her best race of the year. It’s a perfect time for Sanz-Sole to get on track, as the OWIAA finals are only three weeks away.

In men’s competition, the race was over a 15km co&se and UW’s Mark Rob was second, a mean three seconds behind Laurentian’s Eric Finstad. In an event dominated by Laurentian, Waterloo was ve* strong. Dave Lumb was eighth in a time Gf 43.28 and Chris Rogers tenth in 44.41. Rounding out Waterloo’s top four was Trevor Rickwood at 47.23.

Top UW finishes Mark Rob 2nd in OUAA Rhonda Williams 6th in QWIAA The team placed in the top five of the ten university teams presentgn excellent result.

The women’s varsity indoor hockey team defeated Western in two great games this past weekend at the PAC. The Athenas warmed up in the first game. They had to adjust to playing without three of their key forwards, absent from the weekend plav. Goals in the first game w&e/scored by replacement midfielder Kylie Scaggin, who made two marked shots on the Western goalie. Veteran forward “MO” Owens pitched in a single goal to make the final outcome 3-1 for the Athenas. Despite plaguing tendonitis, Owens continues to play consistently. In the second game, Western came out strong, taking the Athenas by surprise. Technique and mental readiness fell a bit. short in this game,

resulting in a 4-l victory for the Mustangs. Waterloo’s only goal was scored by Aussie exchange student and rookie Julie Nibka. If the second game was slightly disappointing f’or the Athenas, they made up for it in the third. The final and most successful game was a remarkable success for the Waterloo squad. Within eight minutes, the Athenas scored four goals, leaving the overly exuberant Mustang goalie with her mouth agape. Owens scored three more goals whiIe Nibka bumped and ground her way into three penetrating shots. Veteran deiender Helen “Stretch” Snare sprinted down the gvrn, forcing the {orwards to “clear 6&” as she fired one into the opposing goal. The field hockey Athenas have been working extremely hard this season in preparation for their trip to Bermuda during reading week. Waterloo will participate in five games along with Laurentian University. As the- women will be in Bermuda for ten days they will have ample time for extra athleticactivities! We wish them good luck and bon voyage.

The two day conference was a time to exchange information about the various campus recreation programs that are offered by colleges and universities across the province.

The active and entertaining seminar was we11 attended and well received by conference delegates. Brock University did a great job of hosting the event, which included seminars, guest speakers, and social events like a beach party dance, early morning fitness, and a university souvenir swap sessjon.

The preliminaries and finals of the Mixed Tennis Tournament were held on February 4 at the Waterloo TIMES Club. The level of play this year was very closely matched and, as a result, a lot of preliminary games went to tie breakers. In the A level mixed doubles, an all HKLS final was contested between the hard hitting representatives from Kin and the upstart duo from Rec. In the end, the former team of Ilsa Wong and Brian Ledrew prevailed over Rick Martin and Nadia Andretta by a score of 6-3, 6-3. In the B final, the Conrad Grebel team of Richard Bradley and Ellen Hofer defeated the stubborn team of Jagesh Shah and Gail Grainger by a score Of 6-3, 6-I. In the C final, a consistent effort helped Tim Welch and Lynn Miller upset the powerful serving pair of Martin Bates and Sue Owen in a final set tie breaker (7-4). I wish to thank all the participants who made this an exciting sporting and social event. Hope to see you ail again next term.

NHL’s.Nicholls, Pro Sports Report by Al Folliott Imprint staff

What were the Los Angeles Kings thinking when they traded Bernie Nicholls to New York for Tomas Sandstrom and Tony Granato? In Nicholls, the Kings have given one of the game’s best players. They received two good players in return, but still didn’t receive equal value and definitely didn’t address their biggest need: defence. Granato is a hard worker and was one of last year’s best rookies. At 26, he isn’t as young as you would think, after toiling in the minors for several years. Sandstrom gets his share of points, but is a one way player. He plays poor defensive hockey, and is well known for messing up common practice drills be&use of his lack of intelligence. The Kings have had no problem putting the puck in the net, but have needed a “top flight” defenceman to anchor the blueline. The Rangers definitely appear to have gotten the best of this deal.

With the utter domination of the San Francisco 49ers over the rest of the NFL this season, we must ask, are they the best team ever? Further-

NFL’s Niners, NBA’s All-&tars

more, is Joe Montana the best quarterback ever? In the mddern era, only two other teams have been close, The Green Bay Packers won the first two Super Bowls and were the top team of the sixties. They were, however, in a time where passing offence was nothing compared to today. The Pittsburgh Steelers of the seventies won four Super Bowls in six years. The difference between the Steelers and the Niners is how easily San Francisco walked over their opponents. The Steelers constantly received fierce struggles from other teams, namely Dallas and Oakland. Nobody even came close to the Niners, which is why they are the best

F Karl Malone - Utah Jazz F Charles Barkley - Philadelphia C Patrick Ewing - NY. Knicks Second- team al&tan: G Magic Johnson - LA. Lakers G Kevin Johnson - Phoenix Suns F James Worthy - LA. Lakers F Clyde Drexler - Portland Trail Blazers C David Robinson - San Antonio spurs Look for the Lakers and Jazz to fight it out in the West with Utah dethroning Los Angeles. Detroit should prevail in the East and go on to win their second straight title. Watch out for the Bulls and the Celtics if Michael Jordan and Larry, Bird get hot during the playoffs. Jordan appears on his way to the MVP award, as long as the Bulls continue to play well. -

also deserves Joe Montana recognition as the greatest quarterback of all time. Sure, Jerry Rice and Roger Craig make it easier for him, but Montana also helps himself. Don’t forget, two of his four Super Bowls were won before Rice even came to San Francis&. Montana doesn’t just play well in big games, he plays his best. Give Rice a few more years playing at the same level, and will he deserve similar consideration.

As Mario Lemieux aDDroaches Wayne Gretzky’s record’ ior most consecutive games tith a point, people are wondering who is the better player, I don’t think there is any doubt that Gretzky is the NHL’s finest. Gretzky has- won four Stanley Cups and took the LA. Kings from the bottom of the league to right near the top. Lemieux has only made the playoffs once. Their individual statistics are close, but Gretzky’s greatness can be seen by his team’i accomplishments. Lemieux is great, but he is still second best when it comes to the NyL’s elite.

DTK 386 systems deliver more MIPS for the money. Superior performance at prices that are hard to beat. Better value. XMHS Take the 3.3 MHz model, for example. It’s innovative highspeed write-back cache memory and 80386-33 microprocessor combine to deliver zero wait state performance, a MIPS rating of 8.17 and Landmark Speed of 58.7 Mhz. It’s the f&test system in it’s class. And features like 8 expansion slots and room for up to 8 MB df 100 nsec RAM ‘on board make it one of the most flexible, too. ZSlkfHz. The 25 Mhz KEEN-2500 has the same cache memory scheme as the 33 MHz unit. It delivers 6.2 MIPS and a Landmark speed of 43.5. MIPS Magazine called it: “one of the best high-performance bargains we’ve setmn It’s available in desktop and tower configurations and is Novell certified for use with NetWare. And XXCAL Testing ~ Labs certified it for compatiblity with a long list of hard-ware products, operating systems and of course; the Jastest highperformance software. The tower model supports up to five half-height drives and both desktop and tower models are fully featured to carry you far into the future. It’s a lot of b6x for the buck.
