by Judy Hollands Y: Imprint ‘staff A swiet valentine’s eve it was for John Vellinga. A margin of a f mere 105 votes made Vellinga e Federation of Students Presi1 dent for 1990/91 over Mark Elli: Ott. m Mark, Elliott won six of ten polls but the margin in engineer! ing - 407 to 78 votes for Vellinga - gave‘ Vellinga the victory. Overall, he won with 52 per cent ’ of the vote, compared to Elliott’s . 48 per c,ent. “I didn’t want a landslide. I am really happy that it came out that way,” Elliott commented, adding, “I did my best.” Vellinga was convinced that Elliott had the village vote which transcends all faculties, but it is evident that the engineering vote - his faculty - Iaunched him to his new job; Of the total engineering vote, 8S per cent supported Vellinga. . “I knew it was going to be really close,” Vellinga said. He emphasized that he has gained alot from the campaign. “What I have gained is a new friend, and his name is Mark Elliot:.” Vellinga’s first priority as president will be to clarify the objectives of the Federation of Students. “It will be the same as EngSoc. First we have to clarify our vision and articulate our values and objectives. It is an essential first step.” Vellinga doesn’t think the campaign was particularly confrontational. “Neither Mark nor I feel animosity,” he said. In spite of his views, both he and Elliott think all the candidates should work out rules for posters in future campaigns. They hope to avoid the controversy which occured this time. Regarding CFS, Vellinga said he would go on record as supporting it. “I voted yes but I think some changes need to be made.” First, he would like to see the CFS abandon their policy of zero tuition, explaining that it is “unreasonable.” Both candidates expressed concern at the poster which urged student’s to “vote for nobody. ” “If they were upset with

the campaign, they should have run in the election themselves,” Elliott said. Vellinga was concerned that the group sponsqring the antielection posters’ questioned candidates’ motives for entering the race. “There is a lot of sacrifice on behalf of all the candidates,” he explained, pointing out that the time candidates invest is time away from school work, He also pointed out their personal investment in the ca,mpaigns, $3503%&r candidate, of which 50 per cent is refunded by the Federation of Students if a candidate receives at least ten per cent of the vote.

Kim Speers proved to be a political juggernaut for the position of vice- president (university affairs]. In Speers’ opinion, her experience around the school, such as the donship for Vl North 5, contributed largely to her overwhelming.success, with a. majority of 55.3 per cent of the vote, to Nick Vatalaro’s 28.5 per cent and Frank Stendardo’s 16.5 per cent. Speers was tremendously excited at her victory. In fact, she said she had “prepared for the worst, just in case.” When interviewed, she was virtually speechless. She was hugging and kissing scores of adoring fans while we chatted, and soon after, she escaped to the dance floor squealing with joy to the sound of Cecilia. Speers looks forward to implementing her election promises when her term as VPUA officially begins. Meanwhile, she is still busy fulfilling prior obligations, She is still Women’s Commissioner and the History Society president. Speers will be conducting the first interviews for the Student Security Force next week. She hopes that this service will be in place by the first week of March, bringing her Is-month involvement to a logical conclusion. Speers is looking forward to working with VPOF-elect Tess Sliwiski (whom she has known for four years) as wkll as President-elect John Vellinga (with

CFS good, CFS, nice, voters say cerned about the 13~3 students who voted against CFS, and wants to make sure their problems with it are addressed. Paul Trudell, one of the two CFS-No organizers, said he was a “bit disappointed” at the outcome. He thought it unfair that the Yes side had the help not only of CFS themselves, but the Ontario Federatioq of Students as well. “It had nothing to do Ath OFS,” he argued. Trudell hopes that the Federation of Students will stick with the students’ decision this time. In the last CFS campaign, held in November 1989, despite its clear defeat [63 per cent voted no), some student counsellors lobbied CFS in order to become prospective members, which UW did, Ironically, Jackson was on the winning side in the 1987 election as well - he ran the CFS-No campaign. At that time he said CFS “doesn’t represent Waterloo and its students.” What changed his mind?

by Flew Macqueen Imprint staff After spending two years as prospec,tive members, UW students have decided to make it official by saying yes to the Canadian Federation of Students. Of the 21.37 per cent of eligible voters, 55.9 per cent said “yes,” and 44.1 per cent said “no.” The Yes side lost in math, engineering, and at St. jerome’s College, but won in the rest of the polling areas. The on-campus and co-op mailout votes showed mirror image results, with on-campus votes at 61 per cent yes and 39 per cent no, and mailout at 39.9 per cent yes, and 60.1 per cent no (the numbers aren’t whole ones because of the way in which spoiled ballots were calculated). Tim Jackson, who organized the Yes campaign, said he was ‘*ecstatic” at the win. “It sends a message out that nationally that CFS is the student organization,” he said, However, -he is con-

moral opposed, to medical decision. He believes women choose abortion because they know they cannot provide for the child, whether emotionally, physically, monetarily and so on. To the question “Can women be trusted to make the right decision?“, Morgantaler responded in the affirmative; “Women do not want to kill babies. When they seek abortion they have already realized that what they are carrying is not a baby.” Ranalli disagreed with the last point.

Dr. Paul Ranalli: Toronto neurologist Canadian Physicians for Life.

Imprintstaff Last Wednesday night’s sold-out debate on Bill C-43 at Fed Hall was more accurately a debate on the moral issue of abortion since both candidates took the anti-position when discussing the stated issue. Both Dr.Ijenry Morgantaler and Dr. Paul Ranalli find the new bill unacceptable for surprisingly the same reason: unfairness to women. The crowd of 850 appeared to be split evenly between the sides, and sat for the most part quietly throughout the two hour debate.

The bill recently passed its second reading in the House of Commons, and will restore abortion into the CriminaI Code as a doctor’s ruling on the threat mother’s mental, physical or psychological health. Dr. Morgantaler, the well-known secular humanist, has inhabited courtrooms and prisons for twenty years in attempt to provide women access to safe, therapeutic abortions. Relaxed and speaking without notes, Morgantaler began by stating “women will only become equal

Battling nerves and a strong prochoice contingency, Ranalli implied that the new bill was a blight on woman since it “puts all the guilt, shame and responsibility of abortion on the woman.” Ranalli feels that women may be unable to make clear decisions when it comes to abortion because of this guilt. “Abortion is just not enough tieedom for women today.”

Citing abortion as a quick fix, not a lorig term solution, Ranalli saw the unborn fetis as the missing person at the debate. According to Ranalli, most abortions are done between the ninth and hrvelfth weeks of pregnancy. Since most organic systems, including the brain, are developed after six weeks, the fetus is a “real person” with brain waves and heartbeats by this time. Each real person is a potential Einstein or Hitler. After the main debate both the physicians fielded questions from the audience, which reinforced the opinions already articulated. The only potential for real ctinfrontation existed when a handful of anti-choice demonstrators miIIed around outside of Fed Hall waiting for the press to show up.

CFS poster questionable

Fleur

Mucqueen

on this pa& are strictly those of the authors

\’

Imprint wishes to clarify the following points made in the Federation of Students Election Committee’s pink poster plastered up all over campus: 1 - The incorrect information in Imprint on the CFS campaign came‘ from the No-CFS campaign’s statement, not from Imprint itself. ; z - This poster did not really clarify much. They just helped discredit ! the No-CFS campaign and Imprint all in one fell swoop. . s , Federation president Dave Readman said the wording on the poster was not intended to lay the blame with Imprint, and the Federation recognized these statements were made by No-CFS, not Imprint. b He apologized for the way the poster read. Well, apology accepted, i but not without a bit of griping. You may wonder why I’m going on abqut what seems such a minor thing. Believe it or not, Imprint staff try their hardest to get their facts straight and tell it like it is. Week after week volunteers stay up . almost all night to make sure the paper will be waiting for you on i Friday morning. We get our fair share of criticism, which we expect and try to accept gracefully. But we don’t expect to see posters tip all over campus which make us look bad for something that was not our : fault. Imprint offered No-CFS and Yes-CFS equal space in the gaper to i j state their cases. We didn’t check up on what they wrote because it s wasn’t our responsibility to SO in this case. Now on to my second point, on poster clarification. After question1 ing whoever I could get a hold of, this is what I came up with. CFS is not opposed to OSAP increases: Yes-CFS organizer Tim / Jac k son said that CFS is in favour of increasing student grants over loans, and that there’s much more to student’aid than loans. No organizer Paul Trudell said that their campaign stated CFS was against OSAP increases because they votea against increasing OSAP loans by the rate of inflation at a recent meeting, and don’t loans as they’d rather have an all-grant or free tuition sysi support _ : tern. CFS does not have any policy on El Salvador: I checked with CFS researcher Sylvia Sioufi dn this one, and it appears both sides were right in a way on this one. At their November 1989 meeting, the CFS adopted a<policy reading “Currently the Canadian government provides bilateral aid to the government of El Salvador, which is responsible for massacres of its own death squads. The Canadian Federation of Students opposes the Canadian government’s bilateral aid to El Salvador.” However, this policy is not official until the minutes of this meeting are distributed to CFS members (they aren’t yet), as they have up 1 to three weeks after they’ve received the minutes to change their :: votes. I’ And yes, the No side was ‘wrong when it said the Student Saver , Card is available to non-member students. i: 1 Are things a bit clearer now? Not that you can do anything about it, as Cf?3 has already made its return to our fair campus. 1 John Herbert, a math counsellor who helped tally up the election i results, pointed out something interesting about the whole voting f breakdown though: if you add up the percentage of people who voted on CFS in November 1987 and now, the No side comes out on top, I with 107.7 per cent, versus Yes’s 91 per cent, out of 200 per cent. In numbers alone, adding the two years, 2702 people voted No to 2462 Yeses, What’s the point of all this? Just that Tim Jackson was right when : he said we have to deal with the concerns of all those voters who do ’i not support CFS. Now is Wgterloo’s chance to make a positive impact :I on CFS, and Imprint hopes to keep you as up to date as possible on that impact. I Stay tuned next week for another exciting installment of “Mud1 slinging 1990,” the continuing saga of the Federation of Students mt: election problems.

To the editor, To the editor,

Well, election time has come and gone, so let’s summarize what we’ve seen. We have seen the candidates. . , boy, have we seen the candidates. We’ve been affronted by their pictures on the walls of every building and even in the washroom of the Arts Lecture Hall (which bv the way was the appropriate asso&ation for my activities at that time). They have indulged us before and after lectures with their wellrehearsed speeches. Seventeen of us were curious enough to sit and listen to them during the first forum. So, where does this leave us? 1 can honestly say that the candidates are adequately eluquent, well-dressed, and obviously attend very few classes. They all champion issues which they think will achieve their eIection, whether they are person4ly interested in them or not (but I guess that’s politics). Why is it that we have vo pertinent information on the candi’dates themselves? Every co-op student is aware that the three most important

documents that will help them to gain employment are his/her resume, transc;ipts and cover letteri I feel that the candidates should submit their transcripts for review by us, the student population. Their marks would display to us not only their strengths and weaknes$es in the various disciplines, but they would be a key indicator of their levels of and maturity, responsibility perhaps more importantly, their level of dedication. I wouldn’t want to elect a candidate to a financial affairs position whose marks in math and accounting don’t display a basic proficiency, nor would I eIect a student president who has failed management, for example. Although grades are not the only indicators of success in “real life” activities, with their exposure, 1 think that our student government would be elected more on merit rather than on their ability to coordinate their clothing or due to their popularity on campus. Oh well, maybe next year .

I am writing to complain about the Federation executive elections. After reading many of the articles which appeared in various have publications, and tilking to people around campus, I have decided that whatever the result of the elections, I am not confident that they were run cleanly. Firstly, Imprint’s articIe about the student security force. Imprint, as the premiere vehicle for campus news, has a great deal of power in manipulating student opinion. This “error” in timing was irresponsible. 1 do not remember seeing paid courtesy of the advertisements, Federation of Students for the other candidates for the VPWA position. The Federation’s reaction to the article about John Vellinga in the IR.W Wh-riur was swift and decisive. 1fail to see a difference in the two cases. My perception of this is “the‘

To the editor, Doug Giles’letter (“Next time, lie”) reflects a misunderstanding which persists among a portion of the student body regarding the constraints under which Federation Hall services the student community. Making Fed Hall g studentoriented facility is only one aspect of Fed Hall management’s mandate. Fed Hall must operate within the Fire Code, the Health Code and the Occupier’sLiability Act, and the legal constraints as set out by the Liquor License Act of Ontario. They all transcend university boundaries. The fact that Fed Hall is a student-operated facility does not negate the power of the Province of Ontario and the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. The Liquor License Act clearly stakes that it is illegal to serve a patron past the point of apparent intoxication (LLA43); illegal to be intoxicated and holds (LM45(c)), establishments 1iabIe for any previous consumption by patrons prior to entering the facility (tLA53). These laws are flagrantly disregarded by both patrons and establishments. However, Fed Hall’s mandate is to operate within the law as it stands. Mr. Giles is completely correct; this aim is in direct conflict with the open, unrebtricted use of Fed Hall by all students regardless of their condition when they arrive. Mr. Giles believes our policy of refusing entrance to those with considerable previous consumption is acceptable if applied consistently. He is implying! that we are inconsistent, yet says this is the second time it has happened to him and it has happened to people he knows. Is this a reflection of inconsistent application of policy? The management and staff freely admit that judging a person’s level of intoxication is a subjective process. This is made more difficult by the fact that “intoxication” is not defined by the Act (It is 0.08% for driving as *defined under the Highways Act). Intoxication also varies from individuat to individual -depending on sex, weight, stature, mood and amount of food in the stomach.

Mr, Giles feels we were denying him his birth-right as a student by refusing him entrance based on his obvious state of intoxication (he admitted to us that he wuutd not drive in his condition) but we sincerely betieve that we were looking out for his health and wetl-being, upholding the LLA and reducing the likelihood of civil litigation against the Federation of Students and UW which inevitably arises wtien an Intoxicated person harms themselves or others.

Mr. Giles’ “largest university Koolaid stand in North America” will become a reality, choking off the considerable revenue Fed Hall now generates for the Federation of Students, which funds non revenuegenerating student services. The few off-campus bars which have responsible serving practices treat their customers the same way we do; with care and concern for their welt-being. The irresponsible ones serve their customers without regard for the condition or the consequences of intoxicated patrons wandering the streets or driving in cars.- They prefer to take the money now and the fines, civil litigation and possible suspension of the liquor license later.

Henrietta right on!

Advertising’s To the editor, Henrietta Veerman, in her opinion piece “Advertising: Good vs. Evil” (Imprint, February 2) raised many good points in discussing the dangers of advertising. She concluded that more careful research into the problems and benefits of advertising would be needed “before any solid conclusions can be drawn.” Regarding her references to economics and environment, I contend that several conclusions must be drawn today. While advertising, to some degree exemplifies human creativity and entrepreneurship, it also perpetuates social apathy. Whether if be state or rhetoric (Budget ‘89) or corporate

clouded

propaganda (W e d 0 it all for you!) advertising insults and assaults our critical capacities every day. These assaults are manifest in print media, television, radio, highway strips and even fax, machines. Massive amounts of human creative energy are expended on glossy promotions, marketing blitzes and variations on old themes (Detroit’s 199 1 cars). Opinion polling exemplifies the thinking that the “market” can be neatly divided into homogeneous groups which demand unique goods, information and lifestytes. In our mass media culture, advertising even disguises itself as as objective news, perpetuating hype. Newswire and generic stories are the norm in this, the era of media conglomerates (eg. Thomson, Southam, Gannett papers), Entertainment Tonight and Batman, Society is ody now realizing that human wastes, indus‘trial * toxins, resource depletion and ecosystem collapses are not just “externalities.” Perhaps the advertising which I am referring to should be viewed as a human waste and a waste of human potential. It seems that advertising and marketing in general have &uded and professional our ac&lemG priorities. Have we lost touch with

You want cheap condoms? ” . -c . DE&R READERS: There weren’t any questions for this week 60 we’re going to take this chance to ask you some questions. The Sexuality Resource Centre (SRC) and Health and Safety Resource Network are looking into the possibility’ of having condoms and contraceptive foam sold somewhere on campus at reduced prices. We would like to get an idea of how much demand there would be for such a service. Some students have told us that they would like to use condoms and foam as a method of birth con@ but that the cost is prohibitive. The cost of a 5Og container of foam, 12 condoms and a tube of lubricant approaches so. Given the reality- of limited budgets, some students choose oral contraceptives (the Pill) over other methods for financial reasons (the Pill is covered by the student drug planj. Although we can’t change the nature of the drug plan, we would like to decrease the expense associated with condoms and foam. We would also like to help students who use another method of birth control but use condoms to protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS. Perhaps condoms would be used by more people and more often if they were less expensive. If you would be interested in purchasing condoms and foam at reduced prices, we need to hear from you to know whether or not it is worth our while to follow up on this idea. The questions below are completely con, fidential. Do not put your name anywhere on the form. As a way of thanking you for your input, we will have a draw for T-shirts for anyone submitting a response. If you would like to be eligible for this draw, put your first name and phone number on a separate piece of paper and send it with the survey. Completed surveys can be dropped off at the SRC (CC206) or sent to us through on-campus mail(c/o the Federation of Students).

Our societal knowledge should be applied to fundamental technological and environmental priorities, human and economic growth, rather than zero-sum games.

To the editor, As two frequent attenders of the Womyn’s Group, we thank G. Zimmerman et, al for clarifying, in last week’s Imprint, that “the Womyn’s Group is not supported by the Federation of Students for the sole reason that they discriminate against men.” The Womyn’s’ ‘Group has never, and likely will never seek Federation support (we have more sense than to bang our heads against a wall.) Since the word “discrimination” tends to cause discomfort among most open-minded individuals, we want to clarify the group’s purptise.

Cindy! To’the editor,

our priorities

In response to Cindi Long’s feature last week (“Native teens - too late to learn?), I agree with her general implications that Native communities are troubled. Certain fundamental principles should be stressed, however, to provide a more complete outlook on the Indian First Nations. I mentioned in a recent discussion that some Native peoples considered a blond blue-eyed m&e to be a status symbol. The reaction I received was disbelief - perhaps, it was suggested, I had overgeneralized (since opposites attract). But I have witnessed Native peoples bleaching their hair and qsing tinted contacts in an effort to pass for white in the mistaken belief that being white is somehow superior to being Native. The self-determination of Indian Fitst Nations now gives more Native peoples the opportunity to assert themselves. Indian First Nations often refer to themselves in their own languages as opposed to the Iabels assigned to them by non-Natives. For example, the term “Ojibway” is being replaced by “Nishnawbe.” ‘bide from being an assertion of cultural pride, it is an effective negotiating tool. Imagine an Ottawa bureaucrat trying to understand the implications of “Nishnawbe,,” let alone pronounce it. There are numerous reasons why Native students fail in the European school system. Cindy Long mentioned that there is an expectation that Native students will fail because they are Native. Alison Ariss, in last week’s WPIRG column, outlined the problems involved in obtaining financial assistance to continue formal education. Two other factors

group

Girl Guides, women’s church groups, knitting circles etc.), Controversy arises only when one advertises a group, meeting area etc. as being for women only. If one attaches lasbianonly to a group, meeting etc., objection and suspicion tend to increase substantiaHy. The Womyn’s Group is open to all Lesbian-positive Lesbians and women. We meet every Thursday at 8: 30, usually in the CC 110 (the room may vary due to lack of Federation affiliation which prohibits us from making block bookings). Our purpose is primarily social. We meet to converse, exchange life ‘experiences, and favorite Lesbian books and movies. We have a lot of fun.

Cin-dy! should be mentioned: curriculum and teaching methods. Current formal education syitems are presently educating Native students with values contrary to their ‘own. Teaching Native students the rudiments of math and English is not sufficient. Literacy in one’s own language is equally if not more important. Federal and provincial standards cannot be forced upon Native communities without adaptation of the curriculum to Native values, ‘or else it will be littIe more than an assimilation attempt. Native teaching methods differ from that of’ European teaching methods. I’m glad to hear Cindy’s use of index cards for spelling has been met with a positive response from her students. A more effective method would be to incorporate some of these concepts in her teaching method. If Cindy attempts to learn some of the Nishnawbe culture, she will learn of the importance of the circle, the different relationship toward authority figures, and the different criteria authority figures must satisfy to gain legitimacy (it goes beyond a calm exterior). I applaud Cindy’ Liong for her efforts to help the Niihnawbe in Summer Beaver. Often the most enthusiastic non-Native people take only a fleeting interest in Native peoples. I also caution her to remember that there are limits to her legitimate involvement with the Nishnawbe.

Burying’the lnnu by Marc Brzustowski The release of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the effects of low-level military flying in Nitassinan - that part of the Quebec-Labrador peninsula inhabited by the Innu - marked a new phase in the Canadian government’s efforts to sell further war testing and a NATO flight training base. The EIS provided the Department of National Defence with a document it said proved that the testing would “cause only negligible environmental damage,” (Gloh~crrrdM~~il, November 1,1989). However, only two months after the publication of the study, a panel of 22 independent scientists, asked to review the EIS by the Federal Environment Assessment Review Office, released their conclusions finding the study to have over 115 major flaws. One of the consulting scientists, Sylvie Vincent, noted that the EIS “treatment of the human environment is extremely disappointing” while a Memorial University professor called large parts of the study “inadequate by all conceivable standards of assessment.” An expert on caribou asserted that “one cannot escape the impression of some sort of a coverup,” and one reviewer noted that the study “did not address the oft-stated concern of the Innu that low-level flying drives away the game.” As Vincent wrote, “the EIS is wholly confined to the project’s own logic and merely promotes it.” One might wonder how and why an “impartial and in-depth” multimillion dollar government study could fail so miserably in its assessment of this military project’s effects on the people whose land and culture is being subdued to make way for it. First of all, the study was overseen and published by DND, clearly not impartial to its results; secondly, the study was written by a corporation with many conflicting interests, involved in military production itself and boasting a series of global projects whose environmental and human rights effects have been nothing short of nightmarish. The company which wrote the study, Fence Ltd., owned by Lavalin Corporation of Montreal, has a $4.5 million contract with DND to prepare plans for the construction of 12 minesweepers at a projected cost of half a billion dollars. Lavalin’s Urban-Transport Development Corporation in Kingston supplies the armed forces with military trucks. Other Lavalin subsidiaries have built office buildings for rnilitaw contractors such as Oerlikon Aerospace, and have cooperated with such krms as Martin Marietta, a company highly involved in the manufacture of first strike and related nuclear weapons sys- ’ terns. Truly astonishing is the fact that, according to Lavalin’s 1988 Activity’ Report (AR), one of its companies, Geocon, is providing “in Iqaluit (Fro bisher Bay) in the Northwest Territories, engineering and technical assistance for the geotechnical investigation of the construction of a forward operating !ocation .for jet fighters.” The company’s track record reveals another aspect of its lack of commitment to the environment and human rights. In Indonesia, Shawiningan hvalin “is carrying out the country’s fifth transmigration project,” (AR). Transmigration projects have destroyed 3.3 million hectares of tropical forest, uprooted over two million people, and devastated abori@nal cultures in the country’s province of Irian Jaya. Another Lavalin project, the Three Gorges hydro-electric development in China, shelved for five years by Beijing in April 1989, would have forced over one million people to leave their homes, and flooded valuable agricultural land and numerous cultural sites. But the low-level flying EIS was written to placate Canadians. The EIS was not intended for the Innu, who justifiably refused to participate in the study, and it was not intended for the government officials who have a vested interest in the continued military use of Nitassinan: one Innu stated that “we are a people who have been beaten to the ground, we refuse to die,” (Gk& lrrltl Mtril, February 7,199O) while DND signed agreements. with certain NATO countries in 1986 to volunteer Innu land for at least ten years of war testing. The EIS was written to quiet your opposition to this testing and to secure your quiet consent. What can you do? You can further inform yourself on this issue: come to our resource centre, call the Weejeendimin Native Resource Centre at 743-8635, and talk with other people about it. If YOU disagree with the findings in the EIS, then you can withhold your consent by writing to your MP and letting him/her know how you feel.

root of all evil ing to assign a dollar value to such indeterminate items as environmental impact. To me, an ES student, the natural environment is priceless. It’s not so much ialuble as precious. We know this is true ‘when we realize how much we prize the national and provincial parks set aside by our predecessors. In systems design, the professor introduced the problem in a manner I found most disturbing. From what I could observe, the engineering students seemed to accept his viewpoint readily. The attitude was carefree, the monetary value assigned, in my opinion, ludicrously small something like $300,000 for a vallev flooded by a new dam. What was this figure based on? Thti going price of timber? That’s a logger’s perspective! The point is, the value was determined in a utilitarian way, by how much money could be obtained. The same situation was’ discussed in my planning 100 class using cost/ benefit analysis, with considerably more debate. The attitude was far more serious, the actual value

Dating:

So you’ve fallen in love with that man/woman in your afternoon class. Yet you realize that nothing will ever become of your emotional desire becape you are afraid to let your interest become known. Your situation is shared by an estimated one-third of all university students who are, like you, afraid to ask someone (anyone) for a date. People who have little experience dating, or who have ended a long-term relationship report even more anxiety about getting back into the dating game. Initiating a date can be an especially difficult social skill to acquire. This is because it requires more than conversational skills, eye contact and the iike, and because it has to do with intimacy, displays of affection and actually asking another person if they’d like to see you (date) again. Four basic reasons are commonly offered to explain the anxiety associated with asking for a date. First, people may

or go on a date. They don’t know how to act, or what to do. Perhaps they were unsuccessful in the past and, as a result, get very anxious. A second reason is fear. It’s like a phobia. In these cases, the anxiety has to do with a fear of intimacy, being alone with the opposite sex, asking for a date, physical contact (touching, holding hands, etc.), or perhaps a fear of rejection. A third reason for dating anxiety is negative self-

Finally, several studies have found that personal attractiveness is strongly associated with frequency and success at dating. Although we can’t do anything about some aspects of our physical appearance, many factors can be altered. Posture, weight, dress, facial expressions, complexion, hair style, cleanliness and grooming habits can all enhance (or reduce) a person’s physical attractiveness. Simply knowing that initiating dates is a common problem should encourage us to feel better about, and subsequently deal better with, the anxiety associated with it. If

in when the PC’s took office in 1984. In 1468, the federal government had to pay only 12 cents of every dollar toward the national debt. According to the PM, this was increased to 32 cents by 1984 due to “out of control spending” on government prdgrams with no thought to the growing deficit. Mulroney believes the deficit is the reason for the present Canadian economic crises manifested in poverty, political sovereignty and cultural identity.

Lunch with the Prime Minister. I expected nothing more than. blue suits and stale crackers, but came away with cream puffs and starry daze. Those who fault Brian Mulroney for being uncharismatic; obviously have never seen him in person. The Prime Minister addressed the Confederation Club meeting last Wednesday at the Valhalla Inn, downtown Kitchener. Unlike his recently criticized, smug and shallow speeches, the PM said he had much to explain, and he did it with a smile.

Listing government actions of the past few years: the Free Trade Agreement; G.S.T; Meech Lake; VIA cutbacks, etc., Mulroney jested about the popular unrest with his decisions: “If you introduce these measures, you become unpopular. I know. I tried it. And it works.” Yet the Prime Minister believes his government is justified in its actions. “What do you do so that Canada emerges as a strong, competitive and united nation? You do what must be done and doing that means doing unpopular things.” Again, Mulroney blamed Trudeau’s government for the .-.. _ economic coudition the country was

The Conservatives have challenged the demons of contemporary democracy with the strict government measures which have made them so unpopular. After challenging poIitica1 foes to offer alternative answers for Canada’s ills, Mulroney set a deadline for his own agenda. “If we can hold to our present course, 1993-94 will be the last year we have to borrow from capital markets. From then on, we should be able to begin buying back some of our debt in the market, the first time any government will have done so since

He thought that Speers was a high-profile candidate from the start. He said that being a don and previously involved with the Feds gave Speers the advantage. Also, the f&t that Speers is an arts student and campaigned an engineering with Vellinga, student, gave her the vote coverage and momentum she needed to win. Vatalaro said, “most people care about where you’re from and who you know.” His basic regret was that voter turnout was poor and that people voted on popularity rather than concentrating .on election platforms and debates. Nevertheless, he thanks his supporters, and points to the challenge Speers will face in her new job. : Before the results were annuunced, Stendardo told Imprint that .he was planning on recommending that the campaign period be shorter.

Echoes ofr*-Valdez by Renate Staedel Imprint staff Laurel Creek was almost the site of another ecological disaster. A leaking hose on a hoist lifting bricks on the north side of the Campus Centre apparently spilled hydraulic oil into a catch basin that empties into the creek several weeks ago+ Joan O’Connell, President Doug Wright’s secretary, spotted the slick on her way from Needles Hall to Health & Safety. The odour caused her to investigate and locate the source in Laurel Creek. She said the oil slick stretched “as far as my eye could see in both directions and covering both banks.” She immediately explained the situation to Nick Ozaruk, director of safety, who contacted Plant Operations. Plant Operations ‘staff informed Ozaruk of the workers’ explanation that only one litre of hydraulic oil had leaked into the catch basin. Heavy rain at the time flushed the liquid into the creek. When questioned about the possibility of dumping, Grounds supervisor, Brian O’Riley told Imprint that it was difficult to ascertain exactly what had happened. At any rate, the amount was deemed “not that critical.‘* ‘O’Connell stated that ‘“about 15 ducks” were huddled on the banks when the oil covered the water.

Since 1946, the Canadian Council of the Blind and the Canadian National institute for the Blind have worked hard to emphasize the symbol of blindness, the white cane, to Canadian society. This ~year, White Cane Week ‘90 aims to give Canadians a better understanding of the specialized skills needed by blind people to compensate for their visual loss. On Monday, February 5, a walk was organized to Waterloo City Hall, starting from the CNIB office at 11:OO am. City officials were presented with a framed copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms - Section 15 on Disability - in large print, with braille overlay, and a cassette tape. Sighted participants, such as Mayor of Waterloo Brian Turnbull, staff and &her local officials were blindfolded and provided with white canes to further sensitize them to the needs of the blind and visually impaired people.

Prior to the presentation of the plaque, there were three readings ofthe disability section of the charter: one by Turnbull, one by a visuallyimpaired person using large print, and one by a blind person using j braille.

Raising awareness of the blind White Cane Week organizers also set up booths from February B-10 to display -various technical aids in Fairview Park Mall and Conestoga Mall. People tried out talking watches, talking clocks, large print telephone dials and liquid level indicators used to measure the amount of liquid in glasses, pots and pans. Christine Hoffman-Seip, coordinator of district volunteers for CNIB, said the purpose of White Cane Week was “to make the public aware of the needs and abilitiesof @e blind and visually-tipaired.”

Originally, the white cane symbolized people’s disabilities because of their bhndness and vision impairment. But presently, it has changed instead to represent their abilities. According to Hoffman-Seip, blind people should be accommodated, no7t pitied. For example, she mentioned that merchants are losing potential customers because their advertising is focused on newspapers, TV or in stores. If price tags were made larger, and local media (such as radio) were notified of sales, she said it would assist the blind as well as boost their sales. Hoffman-Seip said that we deal with blind people on an everyday basis, but we sometimes tend to discriminate, often pitying them. People who rely on guide dogs are not permitted in some restaurants, yet without their dogs, the blind cannot go anywhere on their own. Hoffman-Seip said the blind are individuals too, and have their dignity just like anyone else. The blind and visually-impaired must be able to retain their independence.

out of lounge

Radio and television arts students locked themselves out of their lounge on February 5 and till stay locked out until February 39. The decision came after RTA students were blamed by student services for vandalizing the civil engineering lounge in late January. An RTA course union representative said the executive closed the lounge to send the message that the blatant vandalisti and feuding must stop. Course union reps from civil engineering and RTA met last week with the director of Students services Marion Creepy. Creepy said the unions must get involved in some charitable projects that will bring students from both course unions together and produce some good for thecommunity at large. She also told the unions she wanted something in writing to confirm their desire to work together on a project.

TaintedL Yen at York by Michael H. Clifton Imprint staff When York University president Harry Arthurs accepted a one million dollar (US.) donation from the Japan Shipbuilding Industry Foundation USIF), he likely had no idea what a stir that would create. Jessie Mae Roundtree, of York communications, told Imprint that, in some respects, the donation came as “a surprise” to the university. The affair began with a mysterious letter to the school in 1987 which was forwarded to the VP of academic development. They replied, but it was a number of months before another letter was received requesting the university “come up with a proposal for a graduate fellowship program,” Roundtree said. Later a draft agreement arrived by fax, and the school was visited by some JSIF representatives from Japan.

7%~ G/o& arid Muil reported that the 91 year-old Sasakawa is known as a kuromclku - in Japan, a bastardized theatrical tertn which implies that Sasakawa is a kind of “backstage” political player there. His long history includes ilIicit engagements with over 500 women, war crimes for which he has never been punished, and a close friendship with Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos. He also claims to have had an admiration for Benito Mussolini. Sasakawa established JSlF in 1962 2s a non-profit organization dedicated to “the world as one family, and all mankind are brothers and sisters,” as a JSIF press release says. The foundation sent York an impressive list of their donations from 1971 to 1988. They have funded activities and emergency aid for some 47 UN. related projects and 87 different countries totalling over 257 million dollars (U.S.).

Roundtree said that a member of the foundation had previously studied under a professor who was now working at York. She suggested that may have been the reason York was chosen as the object of the foundation’s gift, The source of the thirty-eight year old foundation’s income and the character of its president, Ryoichi Sasakawa - who calls himself the “world’s wealthiest fascist” - were not discovered by the school until after the agreement was made. When York professor Bob Wakabayashi protested the gift by resigning as the school’s coordinator of East Asian Studies, he brought attention to those concerns.

administration seemed to deliberately “skirt” the issues when Wakabayashi introduced to them his “long list” of Sasakawa’s activities. The repercussion from this event is that all uiiversities must be on their guard about donations. From whom should donations be accepted or not accepted, and on what grounds? Just

Downer said he did not have enough information to pass any judgment on the York case. Opponents of the donation aren’t worried about Sasakawa or the JSIF pulling strings in the university’s affairs. They are more concerned that York’s name is now connected with the JSIF, and may be used to promote Sasakawa’s ambitions for increased world recognition. They are afraid the university has essentially condoned Sasakawa’s types of activities.

are certain gifts the university should probably not accept. Downer said that while it is difficult to generalize, gifts from groups whose activities are “reprehensible,” or are using the donation to gain some undes&ved credibility (which is an accusation in the Sasakawa affair), should not be accepted. Also

moral standards York administration insists it was not wrong to accept the Sasakawa donation. They claim it is a “nostrings attached” deal for “a very good purpose.” The foundation’s summary of the award’s management and operations rules explains that a member of JSIF may be invited to be involved in the university’s committee regulating the award. However, that is not required. What appears to be a requiEment is that “annual scholarship and fellowship plans with details concerning the allocation of proceeds wilI be submitted by recipients for JSlF’s approval.” While it is natural that the foundation would be concerned about the use of their donation, this does destroy the “no-strings” image of the deal. Roundtree suggested that the annual gift of ten to sixteen thousand dollars to assist certain MA and PhD students is nothing to be sneezed at. I Lrry Arthurs conceded, however, that the university will be more cautious reviewing potential donors in the future.

rich fascist Japanese

JSIF revenues come mainly from gambling on boat races, legal in Japan, but which gives it the image of tainted money over here. Opponents of the award are mainly upset about the character of Sasakawa, whose name, one source told Imprint, is “one mighty rope” connected to the donation. Wakabayashi, who resigned from York administration but not the faculty, has extensive information on Sasakawa’s illicit, illegal and fascist activities since the Second Wbrld War.

how choosy can universities afford to be in light of present day economic conditions? UW’s vice-president, university development, Dr. Roger Downer, suggested some answers. Although it’s not Downer’s job to decide on donations, it is part of his responsibility to encourage private groups to be generous to the university programs in terms of gifts and assistance. He suggested that there

donations that are not directed toward purposes central or agreeable to the university’s aims ought to be refused. A gift for the design or manufacture of weapons, for example, would not be acceptable. It is the university’s responsibility to set moral and ethical standards for society, Downer said. He said it is very easy to hide behind the law, “but the law by nature is responsive. We should be setting the standard, not just followingiit.”

IRIS proiect

by Darcy Brewer Imprint staff In November 1988, Gordon M. MacNa b b, President of PRECARN Associates Inc., on behalf of over 120 researchers at 20 Canadian universities, submitted a proposal to the federal government’s “Networks of Centres of Excellence” program. On October 26,1989, the federal government announced that the proposal made for the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Systems (IRIS), along with thirteen others, had been successful in a competition involving 158 applications. PRECARN will receive $23.8 million over four years for the support and management of IRIS. PRECARN Associates Inc. is a Canadian company that will administer the IRIS project. The company was formed in 1987 to pursue a joint research effort, between industry and

university, into intelligent systems and advanced robotics. It heads a consortium of 35 Canadian corporations including companies such as: Stelco Inc., Noranda Inc., Bell Northern Research, and Spar Aerospace Ud, as reported in The Glvk rod Md. The research program of MS includes 22 projects within three areas of enquiry. The use of “intelligent systems” of all kinds will play a major role in keeping Canadian industry competitive, whether they be expert systems to control increasingly complex manufacturing processes or intelligent robotic devices employed in difficult or hazardous environments. There are many be&fits to universities who have some emphasis on corporate-sponsored research. These include: expanded academic opportunities, intellectual stimulation,

increased resources, diversification of funding, and outside income. The research going on at Waterloo is in the area of knowledge-based systems. Dr, E.P.F. Chan and Dr. F. Bacchus, both of the computer science department, are Ihe two researchers involved with the IRIS project here at Waterloo. Dr. Bedi, of the mechanical engineering department, is also involved in the IRIS project, but he states that he will probably be opting out of the project due to an already overly busy schedule. Dr. Chan is specifically doing research in the a-rea of database techniques for knowledge-based management. The project leader for this area is Dr. Mendelzon of the University of To&to. The focus of this area is the application of techniques and results from database

Supercomputers present the possibility for -ethnological applications that are, at once, extraorlinarily beneficial, and exceptionally frightening and negative. Supercomputers can store and process enormous Imounts of information,including personal data. In the uture, these systems could be combined with artificial .ntelIigence programs to produce extensive and sophisicated data bases on individuals. They could b&used as part of the apparatus of a .otalitarian state, and could have dramatic implications lor the personal privacy of individuals within society. he potential for abuse by private individuals, groups, Ind government is enormous. However, the technology itself may be less at fault than those who use it. Consequently, this is a ripe area !or strong government intervention and education. society has to determine what the proper trade-off is Jetween the benefits of these systems’ increased access :o information and the costs of their effects on personal Trivacy . The emphasis placed on computers and computer research in Canada reflects societal influences as much 1s a need for the technology itself, especially since much 3f this research is a product of determined efforts by government to fund and promote this field. Artificial intelligence is still in its infancy, and there is no single acceptable definition of it. For sqme, artificial intelligence conjures up the idea of a dream in which a thinking, responsive machine iSc@able,of origi&land creative interaction with its environment of learning, and of language and communication in &eal Itime. For others, the idea of artificial intelligence is much more limited in scope. Some say that, in practice, artificial intelligence refers to what a machine cannot do, since human beings see any task that a machine is capable of performing as necessarily non-intelligent. Others believe that when human beings cannot determine if they are interacting with a machine or a human being, the machine is defined as intelligent. Regardless, artificial intelligence systems will presumably reflect the characteristics of those who created them. Some computer programmers, a? in the case of any profession, may have inferior social skills and may be Iess emotional and more logical than the typical human being. Consequently, the intelligence systems which reflect these individuals’values and behaviour may not reflect characteristics of the typical individual. Negative implications of human interaction and social cohesion, may arise. why are so many resources internationally devoted to this field? Should this be continued? Despite these

uncertainties, technology cannot be reversed; rather, like a wildfire,its direction And strength’can and must bc manipulated and managed. There is much evidence that expert systems offer potentially great benefits. One example of this is medical diagnostic systems. However, much medicinct requires human interaction, and so, diagnostic systems must be a supplement to, not a replacement for, traditional medicine. Our society is bi?sed toward the rich and the powerful, and the computer revolution is likely to reinforce this situation. The potential exists for the rich to have human doctors, while the poor might have to visit the neighbourhood diagnostic machine. Already, many are suggesting these systems for developing countries which canrlot afford an adequate number of doctors. While there may be some practical benefits to such an approach, important issues of justice and ethics are raised. Finally, these systems raise important and difficult issues of liability with which the Iegal professio& will’ have to wrestle. Other issues relating the applications of computers include: l de-skilling, surveillance and quality of life 0 the need for computer literacy, and the effects of computers on health. .\_ University educators should encourage students to _ iiCt prtiionally in their careers, cQt;lputer scientists .:. included. , The University of Toronto h$$&en a step in this direction by offering a comptifei science elective entitled “Computers and Society,” in which the emphasis is wholly on issues arising out of the use of computers. Only a basic understanding of computers is required. Thus the students come from a variety of backgrounds and discussions are broad. Here, the University of Waterloo offers CS492, entitled, “The Social Implications of Computers,” designed for those with an extensive computer science background. Its emphasis is on equipping the future computer science professional with the background and skills to analyze the social implications of their work. Both universities have been successful, but attain different goals. The remaining question is how such discussions can become more common place among engineers, scientists, computer scientists, and social scientists, Interested becoming involved with Pugwash? contact Andrea Zypchen at 747-1808, or leave a message in our Fed office mail box.

New deans here at Waterloo (UW News Bureau) - New deans have been appointed to head UW’s faculties of science and engineering, effective July 1, 1990. Dr. Douglas Wright, president of the University of Waterloo, announced today the board of governors approved his recommendation that Prof. John E. Thompson be appointed Dean of Science, and Prof. David J.’ Burns be appointed Dean of Engineering. Thompson replaces Prof. Don Brodie and Bums takes over from Prof. Bill Lennox. Both Lennox and Brodie have completed successful eight-year terms as deans of their respective faculties. Burns is a mechanical engineering professor who was educated at Bristol, England, where he received both a BSc and PhD. He joined the engineering faculty in 1967, Bums has done extensive research I on weld defects in oil pipelines such as those found in Alaska, and oti the design of LNG tankers (ships carrying Iiquid natural gas). Burns was previously chairman of mechanical‘ engineering for two terms, 1973-79. ~ Thompson, a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, was chairman of biology from 1980 to 1986. A native of Peterborough, he was educated at the Ontario Agricultural College (BSA) and the Univqsity of Alberta (PhD). He has been kt%ely involved in researching plant senescence (aging), particularly from the viewpoint of understanding the molecular basis for membrane deterioration in aging plant tissue. Lennox has been engineering dean for two terms, the first commencing February 1, 1982, with a renewal for three years in 1987. He was one of the first engineering graduates at WaterIoo, enrolling in 1958, one year after the university was founded. * A PhD graduate of Lehigh University, Lennox joined the civil engineering department, his research concentrating in stochastic process, Brodie ako served a five-year initial term (July, 1982) and a second three-year term from 1987 to the present. Brodie, a physicist, joined the faculty in 1958. A native of Bracebridge, he was educated at McMaster University-in Hamilton. He is a leadine researcher in semiconductors and

For the general knowledge test, Calma said you should regularly read local and international news to keep up with current events. YOU should know about specific cultural groups (like university students!) and events that take place in the community, such as Oktoberfest, and the Santa Claus Parade. Your knowledge of Canadian geography will aIso be tested, including the provinces and capital cities, along with spelling of commonly used law enforcement terms. The niost grueling part of the whole process comes after you have finished the other two components and the humafi resources departmerit has reviewed your entire file. (With a three-person staff, the entire reviewing and hiring procedure can take up to one year.)

You must then endure a two-hour interview which is actually more

After you pass the final exams, you’ll hit the pavement under the tutelage of a supervisor. After six weeks, you’re on your own. Police work offers some solid advantages: the job is secure; the pay, at over $40,000 after four years, is well above average; and you get to work with a wide variety of people, giving back to your community. According to Staff Sergeant Calma, part of the “thrill of the job is that every day you come to work, you don’t know whether you’ll be going to a barking dog complaint or investigating a homicide.” The police department also offers employee development programs, and the opportunity to work in different branches, such as poiice community relations or even human resources. On the down side is the fact that officers face personal danger while they are on the job. In the extreme, this includes the possibility that you could be shot and killed on the job. The stress associated with this knowledge can cause some officers to quit the force, and is related to the seven out of ten police marriages that end in divorce. However, this figure encompasses police officers across the country, and does not necessarily reflect the situation in this region. Shiftwork fits into either category. Some people like having their days off in the middle of the week,

like an interrogation session. Staff Sergeant Calma does this himself,

supplying the applicant with var-- -ious scenarios to see how the potential police officer, responds. This technique tries to establish how you think, how you support your stand on issues such as abortion and capital punishment, and how you relate such issues to police work. “Basically, we’re trying to find out how yen where raised, and what kind of values your parents in~ stilled in you,” Calma stated. Above all, “you’ve-got to be honest.” If you win his approval, you have another interview with the Chief of Police himself. Once you overcome this last hurdle you are offered employment - on the condition that you pass nine weeks of police college! But that’s not too much of a hardship, since the college in Aylmer is like a self-contained community, with shops, movie theatres, gyms, and anything else you could possibly want in a home away from home.

neither the impressive lights nor excellent sound were much compensation for The The’s poker-faced delivery. The whole thing was done with such eameme.w, the band striving for note-for-note perfection with Johnson gurgling the lyrics like they’re the sacred writ of the gods. And you just know that it isn’t the music that’s compeliing the backup vocalist to dance, it’s just part of the staging - she’s beingpdd to look Iike she’s having a great time. Eventually even her ersatz enthusiasm was better than the comatose band’s complete lack of rapport (Though during the second encore the acid (or whatever) finally kicked in and Johnny Marr started whirling his arms like a broken windmill.) What really bugs me is the fact that The The could have put on a really interesting show. Despite themselves, occasional flashes of showmanship crept into the festivities, only to be stamped out. It steams me that a talented band, excellent sound and a zillion watts of electricity were misspent on trying to recreate someone’s ideal version of each note, verse and chorus of every song. It’s like Matt Johnson’s tiep rntsa~e is #far too important to be risked on spontaneity or innovation or

-Pete’s’ just m ad about -

by Peter Brown imprint staff

Boy, here’s a concert, I thought. Crash Vegas and Tall Tales & Tiue. Two great opening bands partnered up at the cosy Bombshelter for a modest four bucks on a Friday night. Sounds like a sure bet. Despite Bay, was I wrong. moments of aural and performing brilliance and a solid show overall, this was just not the barnburning bargain I had envisioned. Hey, it’s not the bands’ respective faults that they didn’t live up to my expectations, but I gotta tell you - they didn’t. Both acts are masterpieces of innovation and tuneful grooves on vinyl, and have magnified their energy and sense of uniqueness in their tantalizingly brief opening sets

or maximize the capacity, because they decided to place tables and chairs on the dance area and in every other available space except aisles. As one of my companions pointed out, the ‘Shelter is bit of a warren when it’s packed. But that sounds like I’m talking about the venue to delay writing an actual concert retiew, so* here wg go. Tall Tales trooped onto stage soon after 1O:OO pm to reserved hoots and hollers, and wasted no time establishing their moody, melodic electric guitar sound that was out-smoothed only by the crooning baritone of lead singer Matthew de la Hunty. A voice, and a sound, that I had given a good listen to the week before

on the Stair”. Tall Tales ran through a bunch of other songs from the album, and added a couple of others, “Looking for a Place”and “Wasted Life”, new or old, I’m not sure. When Crash Vegas hit the stage at about 11:30, they seemed to fall into the same pattern as had Tall Tales: just not as &pressive as I had rem&mbexed them as an opening band. It continued a disturbing trend with bands that I see for the first, or near to first, time. Namely, my favourite song of the set was a cover song: Neil Young’s “Down to the Wire,” though other moments of interest were “Bury her,” “Give me your Heart,” and “Red Earth.” /

Moody, electric guitar sound in the past. But something just didn’t click this time. I don’t know, maybe they were an unexpected surprise as openers, and this time I saw them coming. Something sure was wrong. Could it be . , . the Bombshelter?? To an extent. Part of what makes the mood of a concert, especially one ir a venue the size of the Bomber, is beir : able to drink standing up and dancing six inches from the band. And normally, that’s possible. Friday night, however, the powersthat-be either wanted to reduce the chance of injuries on the dance floor

was unfolding on the stage in front of me, or at least in front of the pillar in front of me. The other two members of the basic three-piece, Paul Miskin on bass and D.C. Rashleigh on drums, provided competent back-up, and the vioEn of Simon Alcorn was a disappointment on all but a few songs. The band’s overall volume was too much for the sound dude to properly mix the string iri. The only places where the fiddle did strike it rich were, not surprisingly, the songs that feature, Alcom on Shiver, their first full-size Lp, including the brooding “Stranger.

A quick glance over the crowd checked against my impressions. There was the occasional fan grooving to the cool Vegas sound, a lead singer growling like Margo Timmins on cocaine and a competent back-up from the rest of the band. But for the most part, not a finger drummed a table in time with the music, not many feet bothered to move either. Most concert-goers seemed to be saving their energy to order beer rather than get into the concert. Still others practiced the ancient Japanese art of origami instead of paying attention. Get my drift? ’

Sure, bands have used a violinist before, but most contemporary stuff using strings is more roots folk music rather than the rock that th& band purveys,‘$o much a product- of the eightie$&@.ar rerevolution. This album has such ran,, all the way from quick-shummirig, foottapping happy stuff like “Trust” and “The Bridge” to seriously melancholy nrimbers like “Stranger on the Stair.” “Think of Yourself,“‘?his Town,” and “Hold On.” De la Hunty’s favourite kind of track is the love song, and few of them venture from this formula. No heavy-duty poetry here; it’s de la Hunty’s “smooth as twelve year old scotch” voice that makes these songs jump off of the magnetic cassette tape and into your heart.

bv Peter Brown 1r;lprirltstaff I arrived at the Bombshelter at 600 pm on Friday to find Polygram dude lvor Hamilton, who promptly directed me to the Wild Duck Cafe, where sat Matthew de la Hunty, lead singer of Tall Tales & True. We had these things to say.

de la Hunty: Well, it’s more spacious than the last time we played here, at Fed Hall opening for Blue Rodeo; we were up in the solvents room, with a hundred bottles of toilet cleaner and a hundred bottles of high-strength industrial cleaner, So, this is totally salubrious by comparison. It’s almost as big as the gig.

de la H.: Their agent is our agent, that is, our agent is their management company. Michael Wyatt, who works with Trick or Treat; he just saw us in Australia and said, ‘hey, can I book YOU guys in Canada.’ He’s certainly a very important part of the equation for us being here. * 1 f-pad a cmple of ‘articles UTMN4tJWU und they ali compare you to other bands, &$kh is normal I guess, Sornc have mentioned -WIU in the same SUP tettce 0s Nitjc Cme and The Velvet C/ndergrourrd.

de la H.: That happens. We’ve also had The Beatles, Deep Purple, and a

shot0 by Joanne San&in

couple of other eyebrow-raisers. But that’s okay. It’s hard for people who haven’t heard us to get an idea of what we sound like without some sort of reference point.

de la H.: Well, on our records and stuff, this is independent releases dating back to 1986 or so, we had guest cellists and such, just to add something when we were recording. And people seemed to respect the way we did it as a three-piece, and the way that it was on the record was similar but had its own sort of character. When Simon came along, we were just looking for someone to do some violin or something on the new album, And he’s a good bloke, as we say. It just enabled us to further our interests in using strings on the record and a chance to bring that to the stage, It came at an appropriate time, when the album was just being released. His contribution to those songs on the album is, well, I can’t really hear the ‘songs without it any more, It’s gradually got to the point where he’s completely indispensable to those songs. And now, with those songs on the album, and us playing them live, it’s been sort of like, here’s a guitar, is there anything else you want to do?

YOU could just sort of stand around back stage for half of the set.

Roger & Me: right the power by Derek Weiler Imprint Staff The new film Roger & Me presents itself as a documentary about the labour problems in the town of Flint, Michigan. Well, make no mistake, folks - documentuty this is not.Got that? Whew. Flint, Michigan is the birthplace of the enormous General Motors company, and until fairly recently, was home to a number of GM plants. That is, until GM closed down a whole stew of factories across the country, including those in Flint, resulting in 30,000 lost jobs. Flint - a town which depended utterly on the GM industry for its prosperity - promptly went to Hell in a handbasket, so to speak. Enter Michael Moore, onetime magazine editor who was born and bred in Flint. Moore has always had an affinity for auto workers: hii father worked for GM, and he was fired from a San Francisco magazine for putting a GM worker on the cover against instructions. So Moore has a bright idea: why not make a documentary of Flint’s

plight? Furthermore, why not get . eer, as he tells a joke that is both homophobic and anti-Semitic, Roger Smith - the Chairman of General Motors - to come to Flint We hear a former GM worker destribe a nervous breakdown he had and see firsthand the damage he has while awaiting his sixth layoff in five wrought? years. We also hear Miss Michigan, Sounds good so far. But be warned: Michael Moore’s definition of a when asked if she’d like to say anything to the unemployed and homeless documentary does not encompass the concept of objective reporting. of Flint, tell them to “cross your Everything you see on the screen is fingers for tie, ‘cause I go for the gold specifically designed to reinforce in two weeks” at the Miss America Moore’s biases. There is even a strong pageant. (She won!) argument that Moore takes certain This stuff is black humour, to be liberties to this end. sure. But that is perhaps its greatest strength: even at its most disturbing and thought-provoking it is still intensely entertaining. Whether or not this is a good or bad thing is a question that can be avoided for much of the movie. Roger & Me is both informative and entertaining, The big problem I have with Rug~r & Me is the sense of staginess to it. thoughtful and intriguing.

I guess what happens is that anyone always has that one idea and they spend their entire lives trying to perfeet it whether it’s songwriters or filmmakers or writers. The more they learn about their craft, the more articulate they get at expressing their ideas. And for me it’s the same, there are thinf

Al&, many of the civic restoration programs the film pokes fun at were implemented FFtifo~l~the layoffs, and not in rgsponse to them (as the film implies.) But what offended me most about Roger& h$~ were the scenes in which go6d 01’ boy Mike Moore innocently tries to get in to see unapproachable bigwig Roger Smith - at the GM office, at a yacht club, at Smith’s health club.

wonder that they seemed so in line with the rest of the label’s.sound. The latest BBP! release is the new album Sor~gs .fbr thr Sud-l?vtd Girl. Quite simply, the title says it all. The sound of Biff Bang Pow! is lush, acoustic-based balladry, and above all romantic. Eveiy song is infused with a

deep sense of longing and regret. This is perhaps the sound Joy Division would have created, had they hai!ed from the pastoral English countryside rather rhan the bleak industrial cityscape of Manchester. Both lyrically and musically, Alan McGee is utterly singleminded in his vision. In terms of lyrics, the song titles tell the story: “Hug Me Honey,” “Someone to Share My Life With,““lf You Don’t Love Me Now You Never Ever Will,” (the last not to be CUTIfused with that godawful Simply Red song). Longing and love are the order of the day, and they are themes McGee never strays far from. Musically, the style is equally firm: folkie acor Istic guitar strumming and plaintive vocals, embellishedZ- with faint percussive and keyboard touches.

Curry, Tandoorl and Vegetarian Dishes are our Specialties

So obviously, S’or~gv $I* I//U S& EIGHT</ Girl is anything but eclectic. Fortunately though, McGee has enough songw&ng savvy to actually ensure that the songs are distinguishable from one another (a rarer and’rarer talent these days). And he also displays’ his wisdom by making this record shstf(a mere seven songs), so that it ends long before his lamentations approach the annoyan& level of, say, a Morrissey.

Yes, it’s time once again - another eagerly-awaited new platter of allnew Forgotten *Rebels songs, to be

greeted ‘round the world with cries of “God, are they srill around?” (A brief aside hqe: a few years ago, onetime Forgo&% Rebel Chris Houston broke away from the band and released a wonderful LP called Hrrit) Filld h&r/r. incorpciating rockabilly, country, funk, and a sort of warped jazz, Htrt~ Filid Mtrrt is more accomplished and more purely . _ . well, trhdhrrs than anything the Rebels have done.

RIGHT NOW and go see if you can’t find a copy of Hurt> Fiikd Mm by Chris Houst6n. It’s the one with the astroturf cover, you can’t miss it.} Ar~ywciy, a brand-new untitled Forgotten Rebels record is out and, not &qrisingly, there’s not a surprising thing about it. They’re still looking mean on the cover, they’re still writing one-chuckle songs like “The Girl Can’t Come,” they’re stiil playing exactly the kind of music they always have. That said, 1 suppose 1 should remind myself that there are actually people OUTthere who find this kind of thing entertaining. So it’s to you per)plc that 1 address myself ncjw - ~(‘1 .SOW~JIrvll~, But seriously . . . If LOU are actually a fan of the F~rg&ttln Rebels, than you11 probably love the new album. You11 also

probably want to see ‘em tonight al the Bomber. A couple of the songs ..particularly “Dizzy” - will translate pretty well to the livr show. Anyway, a band like the Forgotten Rebels is probably best appreciated in a smok) pub se&g in the first place. Su even if you’re just a casual fan, or even if yw’vtr never heard of ‘em, there arr’ plenty of worst’ ways to kill an t’vcning than catching tonight’s shl)w.

t 1 Lyrics of Lotie j by Paul KowaIski Imprint staff Do you ever see someone walk by with music so loud its audible to you emanating from a walkman, and wonder what they’re listening to? Whenever you see a dreadlocked, walkman-ed Rastafarian stalk by wearing the “Lion of Jah” necklace over a black Sisters of Mercy shirt, with black trousers and black Dot Martens, you won’t have to ask what he’s listening to; it will be the new Creatures album Bvomeratzg.

One can hear a precursor to some of Roomewrlg’s songs on Siouxie and the Banshee’s last release, Peek-n-boo. ~ While this sound is new for the Creatures, they pull it off artfully with songs like “Untiedundone,” “Simoom” and the single “Standing There.“While those three stand out, a few tracks have negative effects “Venus Sands” and “Manchild,” and the rest of the songs are strewn between. Boomerang is music to inspire creativity, have nightmares to, lay on the beach at Lorca to, and to shag to. If it weren’t for the infusion of the superlative African sounds into this reiease, BOO~WVWI~ would be little but trite gothic music, and if I want to hear that, Ill throw on a Sex Gang Children record.

by Rich Nichol Imprint staff

For the greater part of last Saturday night’s basketball tilt at WLU, it looked like the Laurie+ Golden Hawk.s would upset the Waterloo Warriors. But the Hawks must be pretty comfortable at the doormat of the OUAA West division, as the Warriors quadrupled Laur-. ier in points, 28-7, in the final eight minutes to turn a possible upset into a predict able blowout. “We won it frdm the foul line,” summed up Waterloo skipper Don McCrae. “When we got the least bit ahead, they just started fouling us and that’s what teams do near the end of the game is dare you to win from the free I throw line and we did.” McCrae hit the nail right on the head. His squad went a perfect 24-for-24 from the charity stripe, nailing 16 of them in the comeback effort. Waterloo sat idle Wednesday night in preparation for a doubleheader matchup with Lakehead this weekend in Thunder Bay. Elsewhere Wednesday, Guelph thumped Laurier 85-70, McMaster upset Western 73-66, and Brock lambasted Windsor 104-87. The Warriors’ latest win puts them at 6-4 on the season, good enough for third place in the West. Western is still at the top at g-2, while Guelph sits in second at

Brock and McMaster (both 6-5) are battling it out for fourth place and home court advantage in the quarter finals. Lakehead (3-7) holds down the last playoff spot from Windsor (3-8), while Laurier is dubbed the cellar dweller with a 2-g record. The opening minutes of the city rivalry took on a sporadic pattern, as the Warriors took a slight lead in some end to end action. Then Golden Hawk sniper Danny Deep canned a three-pointer, Tony Marcotullio potted a deuce, and Ray Tone followed suit with two more rainbows, putting the Hawks ahead 1310.

Laurier continued the attack from the perimeter because of a case of dwarfism inside, sacrificing several rebounds in At the other end of the the process. court, the Hawks pressured Waterloo marksmen Andy Ziencbk and Chris Troyak, forcing them *to feed passes to the big men. After s&e roller-coaster drives and grinding in the paint, Laurier had the lead at the intermission 46-38.

The two teams struggled through the . opening minutes of the second stanza. Waterloo committed several turnovers while the Hawks threw some arrant passes. It appeared as if Laurier might take control of the game, as the score stood 58-49 at 11%. The quickness of the WLU guards had to be tamed, so McCrae substituted spidery point guard ]ason Poag. Poag was tenacious on defence and starter! his front court attack with a trey, to help the Warriors shave the lead to 62-57 with eight minutes left. Shortly thereafter, a tussle in the paint saw 6’7” Waterloo forward Ron Braley clock Laurier forward Steve Duncan in the eye fur a foul. I guess you could call it clearing up of accounts payable following a four man scuffle from the last time these two teams met. The hit was hard enough to disable Duncan from shooting his free throws, Over the next five minutes, the Golden Hawk offence broke down and threw up enough bricks to shadow the CN Tower with. As a result, Waterloo stormed back with 11 unanswered points to take the lead 68-62 with 3:26 left to go. As the clock wound down, the Laurier defence fouled anything that moved. Waterloo scoring leader Andy Zienchuk sank six of his team’s last ten points, all from the free throw line, en route to the 82-69 rout.

When the final damage was tallied up, the Warriors had outscored their University Avenue counterparts 44-23 in the second frame. Braley paced the attack for UW with 19 points, going 6-for8 from the field and a flawless y-for-7 at the foul line. He also ripped down nine rebounds.

Collectively, Waterloo rippled the twine for a perfect 24-for-24 at the line, hit on 52 percent from the floor, and 4-for-6 from treyland. WLU on the other hand went a dismal 54 percent from the insta-teller, a sickening 39 per cent from the wax and 6-for-20 from Phil’s Grandson’s Place. One of the biggest factors of the Warriors’ comeback was their dominance in the paint. Overall, UW outrebounded the smurfy Hawks 42-16. But it wasn’t a pretty win for the black and gold as McCrae explains. “They still forced us into 25 turnovers which we were disappointed with. But we are bound to give up the ball when they come after you and overplay you like that .” Comparatively, Laurier coughed up the ball only a dozen times. McCrae was also concerned about this weekend’s doubleheader against Lakehead up in Thunder Bay. “We have a very important weekend coming up, It’s going to be’ a rough trip because we fly up Friday morning and play back-to-back games Friday and Saturday night. This is something we are not used to and Lakehead is. Plus they’ll be awfully tough at home? The Warriors round out their regular season schedule with a trip to the big Mercedes parking lot in London for a rematch with Western on Wednesday, February 21 and a CHCH-TV home game against Guelph the foUowing Saturday. 1

And it wasn’t over yet, ; Seconds later, Maki found Chris Naylor all alone at the top of the circle, and Naylor blistered a shot between the pads of Howe. The score: 8-l. Time to let up, right? RMC didn’t think so. Just secohds after that, 14:30 to be exact, RMC’s found the mesh Peter Alpajaro behind Bishop for the Redmen’s second goal in’ four games. Wgterloo seemed to enjoy this pace, as Warrior Mike Payne scared the goalie into the net and Pat Daly collected the rebound and a goal. Time of goal? 15:03.

If you’ve ’ been paying attention, you’ll note that five goals were scored in one mir;ute and 36 seconds. The final 9-2 score was a pleasure for UW fans, but another sixty minute exercise in humility for the RMC faithful.

The Warriors’ first playoff game will be either Thursday, February 22 or Friday, February 23, depending upon the outcome of the,firstLround games’ Tuesday night ari’d !-aurier’s choice of night. Remember: the Warriors play Western tonight at the Icefield, game time 7:30 pm. Let’s pack the place to give Waterloo the playoff momentum that a team ranked third in the nation deserves. PUCK EPISTLES: Waterloo’s allowance of two goals by R.MC on Sunday have allowed Laurier, who shut out RMC the night before, to move into a tie with UW for lowest goals-against average in Canada. Each team has allowed 56 goals in 21 games . . . a GAA of 2.76.

Is RMC (2-18) the worst team in the nation? Maybe not. The Lethbridge Pronghorns have one win and one tie in 24 starts, and have surrendered (ack!) 177 goals.

The Pepsi University Alpine Fking Series finals took place this past week at the Craigleith Ski Club. The finals consisted of a slalom on Thursday and a giant slalom on Friday. The Warriors were unstoppable this week Michael Bier, a co-op student working in Toronto, phoned in sick on Thursday and Friday so he

could join tie Warriors in their quest for a tbptlu~e OUAA finish. In the slalom, the Warriors had three top-five finishers. Michael Bier was third, followed by his brother Peter Bier in fourth, and Colin Rogers in fifth. John McFarlane was a strong llth, Andy Dawson was 17th, and Greg Hemphill was22nd. In the giant slalom on Friday, the’ Warriors were set to take four of the top seven spots. Unfortunately, Peter E&r fell onhis second run aft& placing fourth on his first run. Michael Bier once again led the way, placing fourth. Rogers skied half of the first course on one ski, bvt still managed a

sixth place finish. MacFarlane had an excellent finish of seventh, and Hemphill was 15th. As a result of these great finishes, the Wtiors, as a team, smoked the field, winning very comfortably on both Thur&ay and Friday. These two wins, preceeded by a Warrior win the previous week, put the Warriors into second place in the final OUAA standings just 40 points behind first-place Western. The Athenas, on the other hand, had a rough two days of racing. Before the finals, they were in second place, gunning for a first-place overall finish. Waterloo pushed @e limits as much as possible, each woman skiing as fast as possible for that slight hope of providing more points to the team, so as to beat out Western’s women. Unfortunately, the results were disappointing. In the slalom, Rauter was third, followed by Maria Burton in tenth, Erin Chur+lI in 12th, Catherine Mainguy in 15th, and Linda Glenday in 16th. Tina Lukezic, a consistent top-ten finisher, failed to complete the course. In the giant slalom, Martina Rauter led the way with a fourth place finish. Mainguy skied her personal best this season, ending up in seventh place. As a team, the Athenas placed third on both days of the finals. They should end up either second or third in the final OWIAA standings. The final standings are still unknown at this time. On an individual basis, Rauter won the women’s overall title as the top woman racer for the second year in a row. Rookie Mainguy ended up sixth overall. On the men’s side, Peter Bier slipped to fourth in the overall stall dings due to his fall on Friday. Overall, it was a fine season for both the Warriors and Athenas. Although there was inconsistency among the ranks thii year, both teams ’ proved that they can win and will be a furce to be reckoned with next year.

Athenas couldn’t find Colonel’s recipe Athena

Basketball

by Rich Nicltol Imprint ataff

The injury list of the Athena basketball team is getting larger and another losing streak is beginning to grow. Despite all the misfortunes, the strong and stubborn Waterloo crew played an away game on the turf of their cross town rival WLU. But even though the Athenas had a tremendous first half, they could not find the Colonel’s secret recipe with which to cogk the Hawks. After a second half breakdown by UW, Laurier came out on top, 75-54. “Sve been trying to figure out these ’ second half collapses because it has happened in two games now,” said Waterloo head coach Leslie Dal Cin. “Physically we are still there running up and down the floor. We’re not taking shots when we are open, and when we are, we’re hitting the front of the rim. Basically what it boils down to is that the majority of the problem is mental. We can’t seem to put two solid halves of basketball together.” In a sporadic first half, the Athenas -were getting a lot of good scoring opportunities inside and making them count. T&m tiajksman MichelleI

McCrory started UW off with four quick points to help Waterloo take an early 6-4 lead in the opening miniltes. Laurier answered back with buckets from Dayna Perry and Colleen Ryan to go ahead 15-11 at 9:32. . The Lady Hawks fell asleep for a while as the Athenas went for six straight points to regain control. Laurier was missing a lot of open shots and having difficulty with the UW defence, Waterloo began forcing their opponents to the latter half of their shot clock. But WLU stormed back once again, taking a tight 28-26 lead to the dressing room. After the ten minute intermission, the roof caved in on the Waterloo squad. Some tenacious defence by Laurier brought the Athenas’ offence to a grinding halt and made their front court look like a city morgue. Meanwhile, the Hawks were making good paspes inside to Susan Little and Ryan for a great deal of their points. In total, Laurier outscored the Athenas 47-28 in the second half to win it, 75-54.

McCrory led all scorers with 19 points and six assists, while teammate Brenda Kraemer drained ten. Perry paced the attack for Laurier with 15 points and Little potted 14 points and 14 rebounds (according to the se, verely biased rebounding st atistician). Collectively, the Lady Hawks

Figure Skating by Michele Hahn Imprint staff

It was an abrupt end to a long season for the varsity figure skating team, more so because of spoiled expectations this past weekend at the OWIAAs in Kingston. Finals were, generally, a disheartening experience for the team not only because of the results, but also for the emotions that spilled into the arena of competition. After excellent showings at the two previous invitational meets this year, Waterloo finished fourth. Still, it was a tight race to the end when Queen’s emerged, surprisingly to some, . as the champions and engaged in rather too many “Oil thigh whatever Gaelic” songs with their hometown crowd. Oh well, better Queen’s than Western. The fourth place finish can be explained by the combination of some questionable judging and some flawed performances. Carol Snow always competes first and sets the team off on the right foot. She is a very consistent skater and skated a clean program in both the intermediate and senior “A” categories. Yet, with the rest of the field falling and flailing all over the place,- Snow was placed fourth

and fifth in the standings tively. The team was confused.
