Ten easy steps to anger readers

Sexist articles arertt’funny ‘Ten easy steps to get a woman in bedonthefirstdate,“pubbshedinthe February 9 issue of OPUS, the Science Societynewspaperand’TIow togeta girl” published in the January 26 Mathnews, have aromed a ministorm of controversy around campus. The two articles offended numerous students and raised serious concerns

“I accept responsibilitty for complaints” within the Federation of &dents and uqiversity administration. ,!mong other things, the article in OPUS suggests to guys :‘Don’t use big words.

(giggle).“’ The Muthnews article expresses similar sentiments and teIls, men, ‘If you’re tired of calling your favorite girl ‘gir1,’ try some ok chick, babe, fox, yo bitch (if you’re feeling brave), and fluffhead.” The day the OPUS article was distributed Fran Wdowczyk, Federation vice-president (university affairs) received a dozen complaints about it.

In a trend which began with Challenge funding cuts two years ago, Employment and Immigration (EIC) Minister Barbara McDougall has reduced funding by 35% in the area which will affect post-secondary students most adversely.

Regulation of the press on campus also concerned the Fedemtion of Students and the Advisory Council on Academic Human Resources. “I don’t understand why people would print this sort of thing,” Wdowczyk said. The university does not have the ’ authority to close down these papers but if they continued to publish similar articles blatantly and continually, the university can disallow dishibution. However, it is apparent that blata& tly sexist articles will not appear ti OPUS nor M&ntws in the near future.

the February 16 issue. “Is this your idea of a joke?” was written on several of the articles from OPUS which were stuck to walls in science buildings. Apparently this action started a wave of graffiti in reaction which concerned the Feds and Dean of Students Emie Lucy. ‘This incident started out innocently enough with an error in judge merit.” Wdowczyk acknowledged, “But it was the fallout we were concerned about. We didn‘t want it to turn into an incident like at Queen’s.” Last fall a date rape awareness campaign at Queeti’s University caught the attention of national media when some students wrote vu@ respon-

A press release distributed by EIC stated, “More emphasis has been placed on helping high school students, . . as well as potential and recent high school dropouts.” In justification, the press release cited the high school students summer unemployment rate as 10.3 per cent last year compared to 8.1 per cent of postsecondary students who couldn’t find jobs. The press release, however, made no mention of the differences in living costs that the two groups face. Vice-president (university affairs) Fran Wdowczyk stated that because lof the booming economy, most ‘students from the two universities I and the community college in the KW ‘area would not have trouble finding jobs this summer but that those jobs would likely not be careerrelated.

INDECENT EXPOSURE IS A CRIME

Imprintstaff

Most exhibitionists do not fit the “unshaven, brokenstereotyped, down old vagrant. . . flapping his tattered coat open and closed in an effort to reveal his exposed genitals to the innocent female passerby,” states a Women’s Issues Board press release produced in tandem with a poster which reads “Indecent exposure is a crime.” Both are part of a campaign to promote awareness about the seriousness of the crime and encourage people to report it.

Though Bradley would not isolate any problem areas or areas on campus where police patrol &‘uIarly for security reasons, the -Women’s Issues Board identified the libraries on campus as the frequent site of indecent exposure. “We don’t have the manpower” to patrol the libraries, says Bmdley and he doesn’t see it as a problem area anymore.

The crime must be taken seriously

“The individuals that have been apprehended by the UW police normally would never be suspected of engaging in this type of behaviour,” says the press release. Sergeant Bradley of the UW police force reports 11 indecent assault charges filed in 1989. However he attributes five of those charges to one man who made regular appearances in various clothing articles of women’s throughout July, August and September.

Individuals would have never been suspected

There have been no reports since the beginning of 1990. The most recent convicted case was Steve Linseman, a fourth-year UW student. “I don’t think we’re getting the complete picture,” says Bradley. If more -_peoplee reported the incidents *... . - it would make their jobs easier, ne said.

Victims of this crime are advised to report the incident the UW police right away. At the time of exposure she (victims are usually female aIthough males have reported incidents in the past) should try to note the description and clothing of the offender and if the act occurs in an isolated area, leave as quickly as possible.

Bradley recommends common sense as a person’s best protection against indecent exposure. “Try not to be alone in a poorly lit area. Some of the areas (on campus) are poorly lit and we’ve made our concerns known (to plant operations),” he says. fighting still remains bad in some areas of campus due to budget restrictions. Outdoors, the path through the woods behind the Minota Hagey residence, the bush area near parking lot “C” and the gravel road leading up to the Bauer Warehouse (behind the Optometry building) are also high exposure areas. The exhibitionists usually step out from behind a bush or tree beside a pathway. The new Student Security Force walk home program will be a “fantastic asset,“said Bradley, if York University’s similar program is any indication. The force should be operational in the next few weeks.

The crime should be taken seriously by both the victim and those close to her, says the Women’s Issues Board. “Whether she is frightened, confused or merely indignant she has had an experience that may generate into future problems or a negative attitude toward males.” The Women’s Issues Board will be holding a women’s self defense course as part of International Women’s Week on March 4 and 11. For more information about indecent acts or the self-defence course, students can contact Kim Speers at the Women’s Issues office in the Fed - >* Wfice.

As active members of the Engineering Society, we were very upset with Judy Hollands’ opinion piece “Engineers Must Act Responsibly.” The Engineering Society acknowledges that the organization behind the sit-in was very r. The professor was supposed to r ve been consulted before the event, but was not.

To the editor,

Much has been said of late about the lower status of women resulting from their perceived derogatory role in society. This view has been accepted by many women and men since the beginning of the women’s liberation movement. Accordingly, women have b&m working toward eradicating their role by occupying “derogatory” traditional male roles and so on. The problem is is that, in fact, women never held a derogatory role in our society. The traditional female role in North America has been mothering. In other words, to successfully

staff. One is led to the conclusion that there is conscious bias on the part of your editorial board to exclude the coverage of events which show the positive side of the Engineering Society. A good example is your late coverage of The Voluntary Student Contribution referendum, and your lack of coverage of the talk given by Claudette MacKay-Lassonde during National Engineering Week Furthermore, Judy’s opinion piece implied that X%4 Iron Wurrior was somehow involved in the sit-in The Iron Warrior has done much to bury the notions that an engineering newspaper must be sexist and homophobic to be successful. We are neither.

integrate a child into the succeeding , generation. This involves instilling values - values of love, hate, fairness, justice and morality. This role of mothering is extremely important and necessary. However, a vast majority of women today would like to forget this and forge themselves into traditional “male roles.” This is wrong. The role of mothering is too momentous to be denied. Integrating into male roles is relegating your own importance as a female. In addition, how can any traditional male role, regardless of what that role is (doctor, lawyer etc.) compare to mothering? It can’t. Mothering is simply the most pertinent, humanly necessary role in world his&v - without a doubt.

Frosh week great To the editor, This letter is in response to Stephen Shoshan’s letter “Communal scream” in which he claimed “it sepms as though many engineering traditions are meant to turn wellinto adjusted young people emotional infants.” Mr. Shoshan said “fresh week consisted of a large number of communal screaming fits” wherein engineers denounced every other faculty on My impression of fresh campus.” week was somewhat different. Mr. Shoshan’s not mentioning any orientation activity other than “communal screaming fits” leads me to conclude that his fresh week consisted of one hour of screaming and five days of sulking in his room about being turned into an “emotional infant.” My fresh week consisted of one hour of screaming and five days of meeting new friends and gaining respect for the entire UW community, including other programs. Mr. Shoshan said he was “taught that the highest thing on the Hierarchy of Life was the ‘Ridgid Tool.“’ I was also taught this, and I took it to mean that the UW engineering program, which the Ridgid Tool represents, is the most important thing in the world, a claim 1 would expect from any program at any university. Mr. Shoshan took it to mean the most important thing in life

is an erect penis, which he claims is “inappropriate, offensive and stupid to teach new engineering students.” I concur. Apparently the organizers did as weil, because they didn’t teach me that. Not once did they say, or even imply, that the Ridgid Tool was “meant to be a phallic symbol” and I suspect they did not say or imply this to Mr. Shoshan either. I find it inappropriate, offensive and stupid to decide the Rid&d Tool is meant to be a phallic symbol and then try and blame the engineering program for making you think that way. c I came out of fresh week at exactly the same level of maturity I went in at, as did all my friends, and, in fact, Mr. Shoshan himself. This is also try for the group of engineers who disrupted the English literature class on February 2; they went in as idiots and came out as idiots. The entire engineering program cannot be held responsible for the actions of a few bad eggs. I challenge Mr. Shoshan to show me one responsible person who took fresh week seriously enough to be turned into an “emotional infant.” Unless he is able to do this, all of his accusations against the engineering program are completely unfounded and, frankly, insulting.

By directly invotving it with a negative event like the sit-in, students who have never read l%e Iron Warrior are given the wrong impression of our newspaper and its content. Imagine linking the quality of Imprint to some negative event which occurs on campus. It’s not fair. Engineers know that the spotlight is on them these days. We admit that we are not perfect. Times are changing and we are too. All we are asking is for fair coverage when we do well, and for fair coverage when we do not. Eric Langford 38 Civil Engineering

Also, women are highly treasured in our society. The phias “don’t kill women and children,” reflects this fact. Traditionally, our society values women tremendously. Why would females (or the female-centred movement) want to change this? There is an element of factual reality and some perceptual reality that needs analyzing. Factually, the traditional female role does occupy a prestigious and respected position. Perceptually, however, our society has downplayed its true worth and as a consequence, its true level of status and respect. Those concerned should concentrate on matching perceptual reality with factual reality. That is, making society (especially men) aware of the real value of mothering. Only then can women truly occupy leading levels of respect and status in society. Surely, this should be the objective of the women’s movement.

Several weeks ago, a petition was being circulated around campuses across Canada calling upon the authorities to ~make it illegal to possess military and para-military weapons. Reports put the number of people who signed it at 300,000. Can 300,000 people be wrong? I strongly believe yes. . 1. In effect, the gun owners are being held responsible, and are being made to pay for this heinous crime. Marc Lepine didn’t kill these women because he was into guns, but because he was a misogynist who felt women were responsible for his failings.

Webster’s New World Dictionary defines para-military as “forces working along with, or in place of, a regular military organization.” _ Not very helpful for making a workable, objective and consistent distinction between “good” guns and “bad” guns. In fact, all guns could be deemed para-military, since they all could be used for para-miltary purposes and are capable of killing people. Anybody who believes that these 14 women would be alive today, had this law been in existence piriar to December 6, is dead wrong. Guns are tools, just like cars, knifes, screwdrivers and baseball bats. It is the person using that tool that decides if it should become a weapon. If that person is insane, all the laws in the world won’t stop him from using a weapon, any weapon, to kill someone. 3. The costs in terms of individual rights and freedoms, and the

To Your Health It’s not necessary to spend a fortune to maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Saving on food costs is easy if you’re willing to put a little time into planning and comparison shopping. Planning should begin at home. The first thing you should do is decide which store offers you the best deals for most of what you want to get. Advertising flyers from nearby grocery stores are a good place to start. If it’s dry goods (canned vegetables, pasta, fruit juice, etc.) you need, consider a store such as Valdi, where prices are up to 30 per cent less than larger stores (there is a Valdi at University and Weber in Waterloo). Alternatitiely, if you need meat, cheese, and produce, consider one of the local farmers’ markets. The Feds provide a free van to and from these markets on Saturday mornings, leaving from the Campus Centre. Before heading for the store or market, create a weekly menu based on Canada’s Food Guide (mm servings milk and milk products; two servings meat, fish, poultry and alternates; four to five servings fruits and vegetables; three to five servings breads and cereals daily). Menu planning allows you to have nutritious meals while taking advantage of advertised specials. It also helps to eliminate waste by allowing you to plan for using up left-overs; especially perishable foods.

additional burden on the criminal justice system would by far outweigh the benefits of such a law. It is clear that this proposal does nothing to help women achieve their rightful place in society. It does nothing to change the intolerable mindset of some men. It does nothing to prevent tragedies, like the Montreal massacre. Knee jerk responses, like this petition, target the wrong people.

To the editor, In the February 18 issue of Imprint you featured a review of the “Lambada” album. included with this review was a picture that barely framed a set of scantily clad female buttocks straddling a male high. Is this the only way you feel readers will be attracted to the page? I would wager that this picture was used out of context, in that, the full picture was of the couple, instead of her backside. , At a time when society is trying to eliminate all forms of exploitation of women, Imprint does not appear to be contributing to that effect. Simply put, the picture was unnecessary! To Rhonda Riche, author of the review: I hope you expressed your dismay with whoever layed out that page.

Women constitute over half the human race, and suffer most from poverty, violence, illiteracy, and immobility. Recognizing how the “family” allows male governments and society-at-large to evade responsibility for health insurance, child-care centres, old-age pensions, public assista?YZ!!, and equal opportunities for women, women are calling for a radica1 redefinition of family. Redefining women’s and men’s .employment roles in the traditional family is a major step towards the eradication of male domination and female subordination. Patriarchy is manifest throughout society, and its roots are in fhe home: in a father (patri) who controls (archy) his home by virtue of being a bread-winner. Children learn more by imitation of parental roles than by what they are told. If the mother is at home and the father off at work, the child will learn that women stay home to take care of children, and men go ‘out to “work” in the “real” world. Even the best-intentioned man who wants to give more than financia1 support can never give his child the nurturing needed if he is working full-tin&. But with women earning, on the average, 60 per cent of what men do, there is economic pressure on the mother, rather than the father, to take any time off work to give that nurturing.

“Roger & Me”

Nothing to lose but m I n

To the editor, Regarding the review for Roger & Meof course, the movie was not a documentary in an entirely objective sense, but how can a documentary prove its point without revealing some kind of bias? s Michael Moore does not distort the reality of jobless autoworkers. He makes a statement based on behalf of those whose lives are determined through the decisions of General Motors. Do not those who feel powerless to the system have a right to express their biased opinions? Concerning the staginess of the documentary - yes, Michael Moore is no dummy and his experience as a journalist surely has taught him that getting an appointment with Roger Smith, chairman of General Motors, would not be an easy accomplishment. However, despite all the rhetoric of trying to get an interview, Mr. Moore was brushed aside when he was finally in a justifiable position to ask Roger Smith a question. At a press conference on hearing the announcement of Mr. Moore’s name, Mr. Smith purposely closed the panel and refushd io answer any

more questions. Mr. Moore’s efforts reveal just how otit of touch we can be with America’s corporations. The review states that critics have revealed an inaccuracy of the film in regards to lost jobs. Approximately 30,000 jobs were lost in Flint, Michigan over an extended period of time from several plant close-downs. Thousands of factory workers are largely controlled by a corporation that gives its chairman a million dollar raise for his profit making success in General Motors. The review failed to acknowledge the film’s ultimate message: the hypocrisy of the American dream. How can unemployed autoworkers feel any kind of patriotism when their own corporations are pulling out and setting up plants in foreign countries like Mexico in order to profit by exploiting workers at a cheaper wage? What made Roger Smith look bad was his denial of the implications of decisions made at General Motors. Perhaps there was no other altemative in closing down the plants. But why deny the fact that people are being evicted from their homes, that people are miserable, that the jails are suffocating with rising crime rates since the close downs?

Patriarchy begins at home by Calogero Beneteau

Engineers are by far the most united faculty on campus. Not because they are clones or 200 animals as MS HoIlands seems to believe, but because they beIieve in working as a teak towards a goal, whether it be building the fastest toboggan or the most fuel efficient car or having the best time they can possibly have when they have time to have fun. Or is having fun something for which engineers will be soon be criticized too?

raise her children, the only way to ensure that that choice is made freely is to remove the economic pressure to do so. Minimally, that means “equal pay for work of equal value” legislation. But guch legislation is ineffective without affirmative action aimed at having women equally represented in the higher paying professions. Some parents have both gone out to work and put their children in day-care. From the point of view of attitude formation though, this option is no different from the traditional one. Since most day-care workers are female (97 per cent in Ontario according to the last census), children in day-care learn that while some women go out into the “real” world to earn a living, hardly any men nurture children, either at hom’e or in a day-care. One simple solution to the economic problems of child-bearing is to just not have any children. If the number of those who choose to remain childless reaches a critical point, as it may have in Quebec and West Germany, then since those societies only provide women and couples with options that are oppressive to women, those societies are threatened with extinction. In both places, the government has responded by financially rewarding thp having and raising-at-home of children, thus increasing the economic pressure on ,the women to conform to patriarchal roles. A man whose partner stays at home to raise their family has a decided advantage over a woman who is trying to do both. Job-sharing would have to be more common for both parents to be able to both give nurture and financially support.

The structure of traditionaIly maleintensive jobs, which necessitate over-time, prioritizing work over family and recreation time, and a willingness to rearrange schedules at short notice, does not make that possible. Especially in high-paying professions, an over-time mentality is rewarded with promotion. The hiring mind set assumes that one will not be caring for a child, If salaries are a measure of the value that society places on different types of work, then the fact that having and caring for children is an impediment in the higher paying professions means that our society does not value raising children. We can see, despite all the rhetoric, how little value our society places on child raising even in lower-paying professions. According to the last census, the average full-time salary of a truck driver was $25,571, while that of an early childhood educator (with university degree or college certificate) was $8,867. A crucial part of effectively eradicating patriarchy is to disassociate the tasks of financial support and child raising from their traditional

genders.

Tuition whining unwarranted To the editor,

In last week’s article “University Funding Cuts”, OFS chairperson Edith Gameau urged students to write letters to their MPs and Finance Minister to protest of Wilson’s budget. Do you know what I’d do if1 was an MP and recieved such letters? I’d fire them right into the garbage! Underfunded? So education is a right and not a privilege? You think our tuition is a little high and facilities limited? How would you like to pay the full cost of your education? What would you say to a tuition increase from $1200 a term to $6000 a term? I feel greatly indebted to the taxpayers who are giving me a quality education at minimal cost to myself. With higher tuition, what would happen to our non-academic facilities? Guess you’d have to put your plans for the $8,000,000 Student Life Building on hold, eh? How much did the Campus Centre cost? Or Fed HaII, Columbia Ice Field, PAC, athletic teams, and endless campus events and services? Do we have a right to these or are they privileges? How can we belly-ache about funding when we have huge amounts of money invested in extravagances? When you have trouble paying the rent, do you go out and buy a new car? Edith Gameau is u set because a government almost P 380 BILLION ($380,000,000,000) in debt can’t give us a free ride. Hey, it’s your education, you pay for it. And its for the $8,000,000 clubhouse - when you get serious about where your money is going maybe the government will too. Kent L&dwell 4B systems Design

According to the Book And Periodical Development Council, these are the Canadian communities which have rai5ed the most opposition to certain books in their schools, libraries and book stores. These communities, along with others, have challenged and banned books like Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot; William Golding’s Lord oj 77ze Flies; John Steinbeck’s Of Mice afld MPF~ and the ever popular Catcher in 77te R-ye by J.

Current pressure to impose uniformity limits the range and variety of inquiry and expression on which our nation and culture depend. “Every Canadian community must jealously safeguard the freedom to publish, to circulate, and to sell in order to protect freedom itself.” One of the ways the BPDC promotes their vision was last week’s national Freedom To Read Week. One of the . problems with safeguarding publishing freedoms is the way in which the government deals with the selection of books to be taught in high schools. Section eight of the Education Act designates the minister of education responsible for the selection and approval of all learning material in high school programs and libraries.

YOU CAN TELL a lot about Jack Daniel’s Whiskey from the sign on our front gate. Visitors from Canada always comment on this sign and especially our quiet, unhurried way of life. You see, we make an old time whiskey here, slowly charcoal mellowed to sippin’ smoothness. And we age it slowly too, over long years and changing seasons. Yes, ihere are faster ways to make whiskey. Many distillers employ them. But once you compare Jack Daniel’s, you’ll * understand

our reluctance

This task has been delegated to each local board of education. In this way censorship has taken on a quiet and sinister in edge small municipalities. In the case of the Brant County Board of Education, a guideline called Circular 14 puts the onus of selection on each school. The circular contains all of the books to be taught in class with the exception of English literature. These texts are to be “selected by the principal in consultation with the department head and the teachers, and the selection is approved by Board resolution.”

“What this amounts to,” states an English department head from Brant county, “is the department choosing what books they want and the Board basically rubber stamping the choice.” When asked about selection of controversial books, the Head replied that it was a moot point. “There isn’t enough money in the budget to worry about selecting these books. I suppose this is bad because we only pick the books which present the kinds of literary devices and conventions we are trying to teach. They are not as stimulating as some of the controversial ones.”

He further observed that he does feel “the censor’s pressure” when selecting books and so “goes’with the boring but safe ones.” ‘You see, if someone complains, then someone from the Board comes down here and dumps on the principal and then 1get called up and they both dump on me. That’s what happened when I taught Catch 22 when I first started teaching.” The selection of books for the library at this same school is affected by the same economic trouble. “If I have to choose between a book that is controversia1 and one on the Canadian plains, I have to go with the plains. I don’t have the budget to worry about borderline books.” Although the Board has outlines for challenged materials in the library, which include consultation with the principa1 and Board before removal, another librarian in this school has his own solution; “If someone comes in and isn’t some kind of crack-pot, but seems to have legitimate concerns over a book, Ill take it off the shelf and put it in this cupboard.” The Iibrarian revealed a locked cupboard which contained about thirty or forty books, among which were Margaret Atwood’s Dancing Girls, Stephen King’s Cujo, Allen Ginsberg’s &bed &ems,, William Faulkner’s Lzght In Augur& and several books by Phillip Roth and Alice Walker. These were the books that people had objected to. The librarian feels his actions avoid the fuss and problem of complaints. When asked whether or not he reads the books before they go into the mpboard, he replied that he had planned to do so originally but now he no Icnger has time. “I think I can trust the person who brings in a complaint,” he said. The cupboard and its contents are not accessible to any student in the school, nor does the librarian have any plans for the books. “For now I just leave them there. It’s doubtful they11 ever go back on the shelf.” Does your high school have a cupboard in its library too? Next week, an examination of local problems with censorship in libraries and schools.

WiIfrid Laurier University’s Faculty Association voted Tuesday to recommend the Association executive go on strike if, within approximately a month, conciliation cannot be reached and the executive deems it necessary. Eighty-seven per cent of the membership turned out to vote, and 83% of those who voted were in favor of recommending a strike. The major issue in the contract negotiations between WLU and the Faculty Association is wage parity with other Ontario universities.. Other issues include pension changes and the status of part-time faculty. Th; Faculty Association is riot yet legally in a position to strike, and conciliation talks are taking place with provincial conciliator Fred Long. If, after the talks, the Faculty Association decides that it cannot agree to WLU’s terms, then it has 17 days before they can legally strike. The.

On November 16, E4e Campus published the first of two articles critical of SRC spending $55,000 on a computer that was unsuitable for its needs, said ex-editor EIIiot Soifer. The second article reported that a $5,000 typewriter that no one could use was also purchased. Dean French, president of SRC, denied that Soifer was fired because of the two articles. He said the reason for termination was that Soifer was “acting as a divine editor without consulting his staff, specifically not handing out the constitution of the paper which outlines the rights and responsibilities of the paper.” Soifer said, “the SRC acted out of its jurisdiction by firing me. They changed my locks and kicked me out of office, I wasn’t even there when they fired me.” Q-F’S Students going to the races!

Shauna Thompson, a student, said “professor Colwell gave us an hour to write, then told us to pass our exam to the person behind us. People were shocked; everybody stayed in the room, talking, with exam papers at their desks. There was total opportunity for people to look at their textbooks . . . as if Colwell didn’t know what was going on”. When a student said the method was unfair, Colwell said she didn’t get any teaching assistants, so she decided to have the students mark them themselves.

Well-known consumer activist and crusader Ralph Nader is coming bat k to UW after his highly successful speech of 17 years ago. When he was here then, he was instrumental in encouraging Waterloo students to set up the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group (WPIRG). The topic of Nader’s speech, to be held. in the Humanities Theatre at 7:30 on March 7, is citizen action in the 1990s. It promises to be powerful and empowering. In 1972, he urged students to form an autonomous consumer research group to fight against corporate “crimes of violence,“suggesting that group should link the community and university to provide independent social criticism, research and an alternative forum for public organization. Students at Waterloo heeded his call, forming the first Canadian interest organization. Seventeen years later, WPIRG, one of seven such organization across Ontario, continues to carry out the research and educational programs that Nader advocated. WPIRG is organizing and sponsoring Ralph Nader’s lecture in conjunction with a number of university and community organizations. Tickets, available at their office in GSC 123, are $5 for those employed, and $4 for those who aren’t.

Freed - N’elson Mande1.a by Stephen Fischer Imprint staff It was a long time coming. After twenty-seven‘ years in qaptivity Nelson Mandela, the once militant leader of the radical wing of the ANC (African National Congress), was released from prison. Tall and fit, Mandela addressed a crowd of close to half a million pledging the remaining years of his life to ending apartheid. Even at theage of seventy-one his indomitable spirit could be felt around the world. Professor Donald MTimkulu of Ret-&on College (he teaches African studies), was visibly thrilled at Mandela’s release. MTimkulu likens Mandela to Gandhi, and referred to the black activist as “something of a prophet.”

The rapidly changing events in South Africa in the last few years have caught many Western observers by surprise. Only a year ago, ailing South African Prime Minister P.W. Botha recommitted his country to the apartheid system. But the election of Prime Minister DeKlerk in the fall of 1989 and his promises of genuine reform seemed to offer an alternative to the enduring violence which racial segregation provokes in this predominantly black nation. His gestures of good will raised expectations considerably and, by the end of 1989, there was a strong sense within both white and black that something communities dramatic was in the wind, MTimkulu said. The small white minority of five million in a nation of over thirty million has felt the tide of- events slowly but inexorabiy turning against

them. Brutal crackdowns by the Botha regime only spurred black South Africans on to greater feats of civil disobedience and sporadic violence. Economic and diploma.tic sanctions by many of South Africa’s h-ading partners have also taken their toll, MTimkulu said. The standard of living for the once prosperous white minority has deteriorated significantly over the past decade. Divestment and trading boycotts has led many white South Africans to feel isolated in a rapidly shrinking global community. Dr. Shakanovsky of McMastcr University, a native born white South African, suggests that the white minority have grown increasingly fearful. Outnumbered and very aware of this fact, white opinion appears to be polarizing around those who support conciliation and

Initial suspicion of DeKIerk among btack groups appears to be giving way to genuine respect. The release of Nelson Mandela and the Iegalization of the ANC have convinced black groups that DeKlerk’s intentions are genuine. But Professor MTirnkulu points out that an end to apartheid is not in the near future. The proposed talks between the African National Congress. and the DeKlerk government are simply “talks to prepare the way for talks.” The prospects for a peaceful transition toward equality are better than at any time in the past, however a great deal of this hope rests on the shoulders of Nelson Mandela.

During the 1980s when civilian government shared an uneasy alliance with the military, theckilling intensified, leaving 50,000 to 75,000 dead or “disappeared,” says Amnesty International. The miIitaristic environment of the nation has prompted the human rights group Ameticus H4z& to label Guatemala “a nation of prisoners.” I Guatemala is a country rich in naturaI resources and fertile land, yet most citizens live in dire poverty. Guatemaia has the worst malnutrition rates in the Western hemisphere. According to the United Nations, 92 children die every day due to malnutlitiOIl. The underlying problems are economic and political. A small oligarchy along with powerful multicorporations control national approximately 80 per cent of the. cultivatable land and over 80 per cent of the nation% wealth. This exploitative system is maintained by a huge military budget, with economic aid and military training from the United States and Israel. One victim of this distorted society is Armando Ramirez, a former junior union official in Guatemala City, who fled to Canada in 1985 after being beaten and submitted to electric shock treatment at the hands of the police. His crime was being a union official at an American company. After receiving a death threat, Ramirez sought asylum at the Canadian consulate and now lives with his wife and children in Kitchener where

On September 10; 1989, four members of the A+ociation of University Students were fouqd dead some 200 metres from the University of San Carlos in Guatemala City. All of the bodies reportedly bore signs of torture. Amnesty International has recently concluded that the death squads responsible for these acts of violence “are in fact remlar members of the police and miI&y operating in plain clothes, but under the orders of their superiors.” lThe Canadian government has been supportive of -@ditical refugees from Guatemala, much to the consternation of the U.S. State Department, But some refugees feel Canada should do more. Armando Ramirez and others are concerned by one of the conclusion6 of a Canadian government factfinding committee which toured Central America in 1988. It recommended as part of its Report of the Special Committee on the Peace Process in Central America that the Canadian government should “provide assistance in militav and ILlice force mining.” they

Ramirez is concerned that these groups are ‘already too well trained” at killing civilians. Rather, he would like to see aid to the -Guatemalan government be suspended until human rights VioIations decrease substantially.

The program, part of the Federal Networks of Centres of Excellence, was awarded in October 1989. UW will be one of the fourteen institute partners associated in the national network. The funding will be used to pursue interests over and above the current research ongoing. The total funding for the CITR program is 14.7 million dollars over the project’s four years. Jon mark, Chairman of E & CE, explained that UW will receive funding of 1.6 million dollars during the four year program.

The primary objective of the program is to conduct basic research to enable Canada to have and maintain

This research will have a bearing on existing industry standards, and to provide results that will give new impetus to new standards from our developments at Waterloo. CITR will be incorporated into a non-profit organization for pure research. The board of directors will be composed of 50% industry representitives and 50% academic reps.

The project committee’s industrial representatives will be allowed full access to results from the projects, this will support the wider goal of coop@ration. Bell Northern Research is the first industrial supporter committed to serve on the CITR directing committee.

Science

and Society

The World Health Organization defines health as “a state of fulI physical, psychological and social wellbeing, not just simply the- absence of disease ,symptoms.“Under this definition, few people in today’s ,society would be considered healthy. Over the last century, the average life span has ,mcreased, coin&ding with the scientific and industrial evolution. One might beIieve that technological tie reason for longer life spans. 1dvances have pn j However, the true cause of this increase was a better bnderstanding of the importance of sanitiry measures uch as the provision of cleaner drinking water, sewage R eatment and general sanitation. These improvements Iead to the dramatic reduction in deaths due to infekhous diseases such as influenza (pneumonia), tuberkulosis (TB) and gastroenteritis, which were the leading killers of the time. Ironically, orthodox medicine attributed the drop in deaths from diseases to drug therapy. The case of TB illustrates the fallacy of this argument. Between 1900 and 1950, the deaths due to TB dropped by 75 per cent. During this time, the sole treatment was to institutionalize the patients. Drug therapy was not introduced until after 1950. Despite an increased average life span, the average quality of life is lowered by the prevalence of chronic diseases and afflictions. A large percentage of the population is or will be inflicted with chronic disease of borne sort (diabetes, back pain, asthma are a few exam-

ples).

The majority of present day diseases are, to a large bxtent, influenced by our lifestyles. Therefore, present

day diseases are preventable. In contrast, 95 per cent of , Canada’s health care budget is spent on the treutment of disease, Ieaving a meager five per cent to be spent on

prevention.

One reason for this imbalance has been the emergence of pharmaceutical companies in the early 1900s. They have infIuenc.ed medical phikrsophy through their funding of medical schools, medical jourMIS; pervading every a$ect of modern medicine. As a result of their influence, the traditional doctor tends to focus on t&e treatment of symptoms with specific drugs. Often, the cak! 6f th~s)rinptcms is’lefi unexplored or is simply not understood, and less regard is given for the entire health state: mental, social, spiritual, and physicaL In 1987, Ontario spent close to 13 billion dollars on health care (compared to 4 billion spent on education). Rising health care costs have prompted the formation of a Health Profession Legislative Review‘ Committee (HPLRC) in Ontario, to review the present health care system. The hope is that the system can be streamlined, streamlined to reduce costs. To summarize, while health care costs have risen tremendously with the advance of medical technology and pharmaceuticals, the majority of North Americans are still unh~&hy in Some manner. Remember, much of this ill-health is preventable. Modern medicine focuses on treatment of disease, not prevention. Therefore, there is a need for a shift to a less expensive, wholistic, prevention based medical philosophy. Next week: one possible solution. The integration of naturopaths into the health care system.

by Cameron Douglas Barbara Stankiewk and Jeff Murdock Special to Imprint Recently I attended a debate that focused on the current state of environmental affairs, In. response to a comment from one of the debaters as to the severity of the impending ecological crisis, a certain member of the audience shouted out “You’re just a pessimist portraying a doomsday scenario - they’ve been warning us of this for twenty years and they always fix it. They11 fix this one too.” They’ll fix it? Who is this nebulous they who will continue to fix things? Is “they” the government? Is “they” the large multinationals? Or is “they” the environmentalists? All and none of the above. Ultimately, they is us, they are we, and we are them. Together we must solve the problems, both as individuals and as active members of society’s many organizations and interest groups. Just who is an environmentalist anyway? Isn’t an environmentalist someone who cares about the future of this planet and its inhabitants? Are they not just people who care enough to stand up and voice their opinions in the face of traditional thinking? The point is this - stand up for what you believe in. There are many ways to actualize your beliefs -some involve refinements of your own lifestyle, and others require an outlay ,of energy and ideas to promote new behaviour in those around you. After being given a means to recycle, most of .us have filled our blue boxes enth?ls$stically. But this is just afirststep - why ntilook for ways to recycle and reduce? Take a critical Iook at your lifestyle, decide what is really important, and then live by your convictions. By always setting and verbalizing new goals, those around you may follow your example. There are limits to the amount of environmental issue bombardment one can take from the media before a sense of frustration and stress sets in. Activism is a great way to constructively release this frustration. By takaction, you go beyond imz awarenessThis first step is not easy - one wonders, “Where do I start? Do I know enough to contribute effectively?” However, once the first step has been taken, the sharing of ideas, enthusiasm, and activity among similarly concerned individuals not

only makes a positive contribution to society but provides emotional release to those involved. Maybe you haven’t got involved‘ because you are suffering from “fatalism of the multitudes” - how can one person make a difference in a sea of global problems? But by becoming involved, you are not one person. You are a group, or you are talking to a group, and groups derive great strength from sharing ideas and encouraging action. By “planting a seed in the minds of others/you add to the momentum of change, and if this momentum reaches a critical level, you will make a difference.

The Soviet Union may have first world weapons akin to the United States, but its economic production is more akin to Tibet. Lenin and Stalin championed economic nationalism and closed the borders. It worked for a time supplemented by slave labour, but now Gorbachev is championing perestroika to gradually bring the USSR back into the European community. Third, the world is a very different place than it was in 1917 or even 1945. Western

1989 was a year perhaps witbout equal in modern times. Not since the sporadic revolutions of 1848 has the world seen so much change come so quickly. Just one year ago, few would have imagined the prolific events that have transpired. The Cold War, the defining feature of the past forty years, came to an end. !Sdidarity came back from the grave in PoIand; the Romanian people rose up to destroy a despot and, most symbolically of all, the Berlin Wall came tumbling down - that great relic of a divided Europe trapped in a Cold War for almost half a century. The post-war period is now over. Little did we in the West know that as we prepared to commemorate the bicentenary of the French Revolution, Soviet Resident M&hail Gorbachev was preparing to initiate a revolution of his own. The bloodless revolutions of the past year (except Romania) in Eastern Europe can largely be attributed to the Soviet Union’s phenomeual shift in foreign policy. What caused this dramatic change in a nation known for its reactionary orthodoxy is now a hot debate in the West. Conservatives insist that the massive Reagan military build-up forced the Soviets into yet another costly arms race that they knew they could not win. Former Reagan Chief of Staff Donald Regan wrote of how gIeefuIly his boss received CIA reports about

The prospects for Germanreunifi~tion are bright. Recent opinion polls suggest that 75 per cent of the people in both East and West Gennanyfavour such a moveand both superpowers have offered their grudging approval. But there remain lingering doubts in Europe about “one Germany.” The Soviet Union has not forgotten that more than twenty million of its people were killed in WWZ and such feeling are not unique to Russia. The Solidarity-led government of Poland has expressed concerns about future German intentions. In’ Western Europe and North America, the concern seems to be more of an economic one. Germany is once again becoming an economic powerhouse and in January 1990 its trade surpIus was greater than that of Japan Privately, some people are beginning to question who won the WW2. The victorious allies have been in decline for some time while Japan and Germany seem to he heirs to the future. Such fears about Germany were expressed in the London-based Economist last summer. They reported that a reunified Germany would have an annual GDP of “$1.5 trillion, one and one-half times that of France” and “660,000 men under arms, more than twice Britian’s armed forces and the largest military power in Western Europe.” These fears appear to be sensationalist The generation that witnessed the rise of Hitler is now largely gone and the new generation has been angered repeatedly by references to the nation’s past Czechoslavakian President Vaclav Have1 has endorsed German plans. “The Germansare certainly entitled to a fresh

Liberals, on the other hand, give credit for the thawing in East-West relations to former West German Chancellor WiIIy Brandt who, in the early 197Os, established his poIicy of ospolirik (peaceful co-existence). Brandt, and his ~yckssors, believed that if trade with the Soviet Union were increased and mutually beneficiat. then it would be in the Soviet’s interest to keep the pace. These two conflicting ideologies: Brandt’s of integrating the Soviet Union into the rest of Europe, and Reagan’s of isolating the Soviets, appear to have worked together to push the

The Reagan build-up forced the Soviets to the verge of bankruptcy by the mid-1980s. Painful choices became necessary. Ostpolitik may have persuaded Gorbachev’s Politburo that Europe was not quite the same foreboding place it was in the past. Reagan may have forced the Soviets to make a dramdtic change in policy, but ostpolitik made a peaceful outcome more palatable. Western leaders are now scrambling to come to terms with the new realities being born in Eastern Europe. Red Army troops are presently withdrawing from Czechoslovakia and next month they will begin leaving Hungary. Soviet representatives say they are confident that all Soviet troops will back on Soviet soil before the end of the century. If this policy continues, and it appears that it will, the map of Europe will be inexbrably altered. All this, of course, is a Western view of the Soviet break-up.

Just as Britain and,France gave up their empires after World War II, the Soviet Union now also sees their former satellites as “excess baggage.” With the threat from Westeti Europe diminished, the need for buffer states also diminished. After seventy years of going it alone with calamitous results, the prodigal son of Europe is finally c&ring home. Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev has announced in no uncertain terms that the Soviet Union has “no moral or politial right to interfere in events” in Eastern Europe.

It’s frustrating

to see a band who

has put out good material on vinyl but can’t deliver live. Maybe it was just a bad night for them. The sold-out crowd’s disinterest quickly turned into wild enthusiasm by the time Tom Cochrane and Red Rider banged out “Ashes To Diamonds” and “Victory Day” at the

Cochrane’s band, Red Rider, also set an example to be followed. They behaved like the professionals they are. It was almost as if they could anticipate each others’ movs. They also didn’t indulge themselves in the concert kiss of death: long, boring, senseJess solos that practically always ruin the overall effect of a concert. Although the majority of the wellbalanced set came from their last two studio releases, the best of the older songs weren’t left out. “White Hot”, “Avenue A,” ” Light In The Tunnel/ Human Race,““Can’t Turn Back,“and a version of “Lunatic Fringe” were all included. . The best was saved for last though. Cochrane delivered his one-two punch when he performed “Big League” and “The Boy Inside The Man” back to back. “Big League,” which will certainly become a Canadian classic, carries even more emotion when performed live and one can look around and watch 2000 others singing “My boy’s gonna play in the big league, My boy’s gonna turn some heads.” And even though “The Boy Inside The Man” might have been a bit dragged out (in my opinion it should have ended about a half minute before it did), there was no denying that it’s a great song.

It was a treat to see Cochrane in a place as small as The Twist, considering that he has already played much larger venues such as Maple Leaf Gardens and the Kingswood. I’d be surprised if he performs in the K-W area again.

Young MC wiris Grammy, Waterloo. by Honda Riche Imprint staff Indulge in some nostalgia for a moment. Think about the first time you went to a concert. Maybe you saw Lighthouse or The Stampeders at your local summer fair. Perhaps The Spoons came to play at your high school dance. Or did your parents take you to see The Who or Thrple Dog Night when you were still a mere toddler? Remember the e+itement of the crowd? Remember @hesmell of dope and liquor and sweat? Remember how everybody was wearing the same concert t-shirts, holding their lighters aloft, and staring at the band intently? If you were at the Twist lastMonday night, you could have relived those sweet days of youth. The crowd was there to see Maestro Fresh Wes and Grammy Award winner Young M.C. The majority of the crowd were minors. You could see in their eyes that for many, this was their first concert. They cruised the room like it was a high school dance, looking for their friends and really fly members of the opposite sex. When you walked in the room, though, something smelled funny. The place smelled like a movie theatre instead of a smokey, sweaty concert hall.

The Grapes of Wrath did not play a concert this past Monday night at&d. Instead, they gave an “On Stage” peifonnance for CTV. I was not quite sure what to expect from this television special, but it wasn’t much. The 200-strong audience was slowly and calmly (and freely) let in just after eight. To my surprise, plastic beer cups soon abounded. Is this Waterloo? On a Monday? During midterms? I suppose this school really is changing. The Grapes were a fashionable 20 minutes late, beginning their nontelevised warmup just before nine. The whole band looked ready for a show from the start. t

The crowd responded as enthusiastically as possible, considering tables and chairs ,replaced the dance floor and considering the-preshow pep talk from the CTV floor director included info on when to clap and a request not to stand up. A long night became evident from the start. A delay in the MC’s arrival gave the Grapes an opportunity to rebx, but they didn’t. Mentioning that t&y were getting nervous with the w+t, the band provided us with a trhquil ver&n of the Stones’ ‘White H&ses,” apparently one that they do fo+ fun. iunfortunately, the band couldn’t sh’ e their nerves for the first song. en the cameras finally began to ro i , a false start by The Grapes, and a m&ake near the end which caused thf. whole thing including the intro to bcj repeated.

The crowd soon cheered freely, with the director merely cueing them rather than demanding their response.

You got the look! The Grapes looked out of place on such a clean, uncluttered stage. They are at thatpainful teething stage, between a garage band and a valid touring band. Their movement% were awkward Monday; perhaps the cameras continued to spook them, but their intermittent prancing around seemed forced and uncomfortable. The sound, however, was joyfully clean and superbly mixed, while the sound levels were accurate and tame.

Yes, you could actually talk to your friends, though few took advantage of this bonus. I had expected the cameras to take over the performance, but they didn’t. The crowd retained its importance. When

The Night Breed% by Trevor Blair Imprint staff A lot of what Clive Barker (The l?umnutiun Game. Weaveworki Hell R0ls~~zs) writes cannot translate well onto the big screen. Clive Barker is the first to admit this, but the lure of big-budget Hollywood allows him to suspend reality, escaping into a dream world where bad films still make money. That was the story of Hell Ruisitzs, and since Barker has decided to have another go at directing it has also become the story of Nigh tbreed. Based on Barker’s novel Cabal, Nightbreed at first seems to be about a psychiatrist (David Cronenberg) who commits a series of grisly murders and then manipulates one of his patients (a guy called Boone) into believing that he did it. In his first starring role, Cronenberg gives great dry, deadpan deliverv of all those iuicv one-fmers horro; audienctislovk. The film ’ quickly .&$imes con+ plicated; buried u&l&$~yer upon layer of psuedo-religious mythology the plot suffocates, never to resuscitate. Get this: Boone is killed by the police, but he doesn’t die. Instead, he goes to an underground city called Midian located beneath a cemetery in Calgary. All sorts of freaks - monsters with super powers - live there; some are good folk, some bad. Boone is seen as a threat to Midian by its inhabitants because he still loves his living girlfriend. Y’see, if people find out about him and Midian, then -_ _the _local - townspeople will murder the freaks (as has been the modus uperurrdi throughout the centuries). Cronenberg hooks up with the local police station and they as well most of the townsfolk stock up on gasoline, semi-automatic rifles and explosives. They get into their pickup trucks and Yu-hoooo! go out to

The book opens with some good, 01’ fashioned paradoxes that anyone who has taken a course in logic or phiIosophy would have already seen. One of these is the ‘Ibrains in vats” or “evil genius” paradoxes, which hypothesize that your brain couId just be sitting in a vat, receiving all of -the electrical stimuli necessary to produce sensation and consciousness, and thus life is just a hoax, and how would you really know anyhow? This sort of brain-tingler has been around since the days of Plato. . Other basics of logic that Poundstone discusses are satisfiability, syllogisms, inductive and deductive proofs and the information requirements of both, and plenty of variations of Zeno’s paradox (you know, that one about the tortoise with the head start always winning the

And he draws physics into the study of paradox, highlighting some more contemporary issues in this field.

Pounds&e wanted me to find my way out. In other words, the book doesn’t provide much of a conclusion. Of course, what do you expect from a book on paradox and the frailties of knowledge? But, he does provide a reasonably sized bibliography that would perhaps light the way to the ambitious reader. This is a well-written, clear book, and one that connects diverse topics of knowledge, namely logic and physics. It’s only fault is that it does not advance a clear thesis or reason behind its being written. But as an interesting read and a good reference, book of ideas, it certainly succeeds.

tell the difference? The search for the answer lies as much in pure physics as in pure Iogic. Poundstone includes a Hofstadteresque scene of a first-person narrator presenting Sherlock Holmes with a number of mysterious brain-teasers. ,He also dispIays the prisoner’s dilemma in many of its fascinating permutations, and enlarges the question of logical problems to the solving of codes and mazes. He even touches on a currently fashionable topic in physics and computer science: chaos, and its dark patterns. I never found the exit of the labyrinth, and I don’t think that

Hopefully, RIPER XI. will be one of them. This magazine is as much an aid to writers as it is a showcase for their work. It’s divided into five sections.

Some of the contributors include the winner of the 1988 Governor General’s Award and the writer-in-residence for the Kootenay School of Writing. What this means is that this may be a magazine for those who are already published and want to move on to harder markets (which, it should be noted, does not make them any better).

This is why this magazine is presented without any specific themes in mind. As the editors put it “if we think the submission is well written, we accept it.” This helps Tab& Rosa present a wide variety of material, from prose

Normally when The Black Plague Volleyball Warriors take to the court for a match against an OUAA West opponent, the concern is not whether they will win. Instead, it is whether or not they can destroy the opposition in under 40 minutes. But that was not the case last Sunday afternoon in the Ontario West final against the McMaster Marauders. After sweeping Laurier, 3-0, in the semi-finals Tuesday night, Waterloo had trouble disposing of the boys from Steeltown, who came to the PAC looking for an upset. In the closest divisional match all season, the Warriors grindcd through for a 31 win (15-8, 15-10, 14-16, 15-12). The Plague took longer than usual to add Mac to the obituary column because All-Canadian power hitter Steve “Scratch” Smith was ill and sat on the sideline. “We were missing Scratch, who is our passing specialist, and passing is the key to winning games,” commented LJW head coach Scott Shantz, sporting a dashing maroon and yellow tie. “Plus, we are not at our peak yet. As the playoff games get increasingly important, we will get more into it.” Shantz, by the way, has been named OUAA West coach of the year for leading his squad to a perfect 12-O record. Upon hearing this announcement, the team laughed hysterically, but Shantz got the last laugh, as he started practice Monday afternoon with the Warriors doing several pushups. Four of the six spots on the West division all-star team are held by Waterloo players. They are Scratch,

Midway through the first game, Ian “Stouffer” Heynen fooled the Marauder back court with a snaky serve that was barely touched before it hit the hardwood. Waterloo began to intimidate at the net and, under the pressure, McMaster gave up the game point on a fluke volley, 15-8. The Plague started the second game with some nervous and weak passes, allowing the Steeltown crew to jump out to a 4-2 lead.

Luckily, UW rebounded to take the McMaster game, despite nearly giving it away in the dying seconds, and advanced to The Final Four. “It was a heck of a finish, but it shouldn’t have been a finish,” commented Waterloo assistant coach Mike Kilpatrick after the McMaster contest. “We should have had it wrapped ‘up a lot sooner than we did.” Finally, a reminder to all Warrior faithful; get down to London early because Alumni Hall only has a capacity of 2600.

The East division finalists are the York Yeomen, 2-l series winners over Ottawa, and the UQTR Les Patriots, who swept McGill 2-O. The Warriorsgave their fans a scare last weekend, taking all three games to defeat the Windsor Lancers in their OUAA West semi-final series. Water100 lost the first game 3-2 in Windsor on Thursday, but returned to home ice to dominate the Lancers 5-1 on Sunday and 8-4 on Tuesday. The university powers-that-be who schedule hockey games didn’t want both Waterloo and Laurier to have home games on the same night, so Waterloo travelled to Windsor for game one. This was a must-win for the Lancers; there was no way they could win two in WaterIoo. “We could have won that game,” refletied Don McKee. “You’ve got to get ahead on Windsor because they’re very good at protecting a lead. lf you let them get a read, they can concentrate on their &en&h, which is checking.” * ’ nd ’ And they practiced their strength quite profi&ntly on Thursday r&h. A hot goalie didn’t hurt either. Lancer goalkeep Mark Sain faced 35 shots to Mike&shop’s 21. After an early goal by UW’s Craig Shaw from the left point, both teams settled down until Lancer big gun Don Mahon scored to tie. Windsor scored again midway through the second frame with a goal from Scott Johnson, and UW’s Clark Day tied it up again 1ate in the period. The score remained 2-2 until 655 of the third period, when Windsor forward Brad Belland struck from Bishop’s stick side. Windsor held on to win 3-2. The end-to-end start of Sunday’s rematch at the Icefield showed that both teams recognized Windsor’s skill at protecting a lead.

Lancer backstop Mark Seguin was peppered with a superhuman 44 shots, allowing five goals, while Bishop yawned his way to 13 stops, letting one past. Stalwart defence, overly anxious offence, and brilliant goaltending kept the game scoreless for much of the first period. Finally, at 15:38 of the first, John Goodman struck. The captain took a Tony Crisp pass, glided to the top of the circle, and fired a wrist-shot into the top left comer. Minutes later, Windsor applied pressure of its own as a UW penalty ended. A clean shot by Lancer defencernan Jason Anderson rebounded and caused a scramble in front of Bishop that looked Iike a rugby maul Mahon finally ended up with the puck, and scored unassisted to tie it l1. The rest of period belonged to Waterloo on the ice, especially to Goodman’s line, btit a tie on the scoreboard, despite high sticking and cross checking penalties assessed against Windsor.

12 shots in the first was a lot, dodged all but one of 16 secoiid period bullets. The score stayed at 2-1 into the third until Pat Daly found the right corner just after a Lancer penalty had expired. Now, Waterloo started to pour it on. Goodman had two shorthanded breakaways during one penalty, and Jim David and Mike Payne added late markers for the final 5-l scqre. Tuesday night’s tiebreaker started very much like Sunday’s game. Both teams were pumped up, and Waterloo scored first. But this was one Seguin should have saved. Jami Maki shot the puck right at the goalie’s chest, and the puck slipped between his gloves and trickled into the net. Respopding, Lancers Brad Belland and J.D. Urbanic managed a shorthanded two-on-one that Bishop almost saved. BeIhnd’s shot dribbled between the UW goalie’s pads, and the score was notched. Waterloo took the lead again at 9:40 with a powerplay goal li-om David, who deflected an Ian Pound shot. Tony Crisp tried to regain his scoring touch on a shorthanded breakaway, but shot wide left after collecting his own rebound. The Lancers continued the seesaw with another powerplay goal from Mahon, but the Warriors went on top again when Goodman snapped one in from the left point with a manadvantage to make it 3-2. Early in the second, Belhnd con-

tinued Windsor’s powerplay success by surprising Bishop, who was behind the net retrieving the puck. The Warrior netminder couldn’t get back into position and Belland scored. Midway through the period, Waterloo took the lead again, this time for good. Goodman took a shot from just inside the blueline, and Maki scored on the rebound, Suddenly, the wheels came off of the Lancers’ carriage, and it turned back into a pumpkin. Warrior Steve Girardi won a faceoff in the Windsor zone, and flicked the puck to linemate John Williams, who one-timed it past Seguin. Then, with 13 seconds remaining in the period, Girardi was tripped as he approached the Windsor net, but still passed to Geard, whose wristshot put it upstairs where Norman keeps his mother. 6-3 at the end of two. Waterloo’s confidence shuddered momentarily when Lancer Jason Anderson scored to reduce the lead to two goals. But, as the clock ticked, Windsor began playing as though losing was inevitab1e. In other words, thev let uo. The Warriors added two ‘late’powekplay goals, by Maki (completing a hattrick) and Daly.

by Rich Nichol Imprint staff

It’s bee; a rough ride through league play in the OUAA West this season for the young and battered Waterloo Athena basketball team. Bu &er losing five players do to injury *,d the progress of the season, including their starting point guard and pivot, the Athenas eked out a 2-12 league play record for the second year in a row. Waterloo finished seventh in the tough eight-team OWIAA West division, _just ahead of the Guelph Gryphons (1-13). The Athenas beat Guelph last Wednesday (February Zl), 59-50, in their remaining home game, and then Iost to the incomparable fifth ranked M&laster Marauders in the season finale, 90-53, this past Saturday in Hamilton. Wednesday night’s game started on a good note for the Athenas, as they burst out to a 13-8 lead in the first

six minutes on high range shots by Michelle McCrory and inside points from Jane Willett. From then on, UW kept the lead for the entire game, going up 30-21 at halftime after a seven-point run. Guelph sophomores Marnie MacDonald and Anne b Wideman narrowed the lead to six, but Brenda Kraemer answered back with a threepoint play to kill the threat. Waterloo pulled even further ahead at 7~10 when perimeter specialist Paula Bishop nailed a trey, and the leaders went on to win 59-50. Fourth-year veteran McCrory orchestrated the Athena front court with 18 points, and also ripped down nine rebounds. Kraemer sank 4-for-5 at the free throw line en route to a 14 point day, while Willett went S-for-6 from the field to mesh 12 points. MacDonald and Jennifer Heelis paced all Gryphon scorers with 14 points apiece. Overall, UW sank 52 percent from the floor, which was a welcome change from the usual brick tossing show. Guelph on the other hand drowned in the quagmire of a 30 percent shooting accuracy. Another fac-

sdiit tor in the win came from rebounding, 30-22. “Everything seemed to come together at once,” said Athena skip per Leslie Dal Gin. “It’s nice to finish off our home schedule with such a pleasing win.” In Saturday night’s game, UW got off to a slow start because of some sloppy passes, and trailed 17-6 at 13:58 of the opening frame. Waterloo cranked up the defensive pressure to force some lumovers and create easy scoring opportunities to close the gap. But the large and tale’nted Marauder squad, currently ranked

Report

by Folliott Imprint staff Al

Two weeks ago, James “Buster” Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson to become heavyweight champion of the world. For a while, at least, he was not the undisputed victor. Because of the ranting by the human-weasel and promoter Don King, the WBA and WBC didh’t recognize Douglas as the winner right after the fight. They tainted the biggest boxing upset in history and made Buster Dou-

glas look like something less than he was, the true heavyweight champion. Douglas beat Tyson soundly throughout most of the fight. His only error was Tyson’s knockdown at the end of round eight, where Douglas received the controversial long count. This should have been a non-issue for three reasons. First, it is the referee’s count that matters, not the clock outside of the ring. Second, the rule book says nothing about a ten second count. It mentions only a ten-count at the referee’s discretion. Third, most fighters are trained to get back on their feet at the count of eight. Douglas was listening to the referee, not

watching the clock, so what clock said was irrelevant. If referee had kept up with clock, Douglas could have got up in time.

Buster can fight whomever he wants, when he wants, and should take full advantage of these options.

counting. The next-thing I remember is floating under a parachute, watching the plane fly away. I am on an adrenaline high as I float down to the ground. An instructor on the ground talks me down using a one-way radio. He tells me to turn right, then left, and helps me practice landings. While this is happening, I am enjoying a spectacular view of the surrounding countryside. A few minutes later it is time to land. The instructor gives me directions over the radio. I touch the ground and roll as I had been taught earlier. The feeling of accomplishment is ecstatic. I am hooked. 1 immediately sign up for a second jump. So ended my first parachute jump. It is now two and a half years later. Since then, I have learned free-fall skills and made jumps from as high as 10,000 feet, with as much as 45 seconds of free fall. The campus-ret skydiving club helns orovide exDeriences such as this’ to ‘many stud&ts each term. The

It rises to reveal a vast expanse of nothing- All I see is the landing gear with the ground 3,000 feet below. Pete sticks his head out of the door and makes faces at me in the wind. After a few instructions to the pilot, he returns his attention to me. “Sit in the door,” he yells. I immediately follow a procedure that was rigorously practiced on the ground. I put my left foot on the step, my left hand on the wing strut, my right hand on the door frame, and I iook back at him. “Get ready,” he yeUs. Now, I climb all the way out, standing on the step and hanging on to the wing strut. Pete waves his hand in front of my face to draw my attention back to him. “Go,” he yells. Everything becomes a blur as I jump bff the airplane and begin

More BOX ’ For,The Bwck. DTK 386 systems deliver more MIPS for the money. Superior performance at prices that are hard to beat. Better value. 33MHz. Take the 33 MHz model, for example. It’s innovative highspeed write-back cache memory and 80386-33 microprocessor combine to deliver zero wait state perfoimance, a MIPS rating of 8.17 and Landmark Speed of 58.7 Mhz. It’s the fastest systemin it’s class. And features like 8 expansion slots and room for up to 8 MB of 100 nsec RAM on board make it one of the most flexible, too. 25MHz. The 25 Mhz KEEN-2500 has the satie 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 seen.” 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 lastest 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 box for the buck.
