Internationally acclaimed consumer activist Ralph Nader brought his message to the University of Waterloo Wednesday night.

Nader spoke favourably of the burgeoning “green movement” in North America, but warned that the public must keep up the pressure for more of these products. He suggested that “companies always bring up the rear” in consumer-related issues.
“It’s easier to sell yourself to a company for a pay cheque than stand up for what you believe.”
First and foremost is the disintegration of the family unit. “Kids spend more time than ever before” without adults, Children, he asserted, are too dependent on becoming machines for companionship.
Nader is also concerned with “expanding democracy.” By this he means making companies and government more accountable to governmentIn this way, Nader argues, the citizenry can more ably make decisions that concern them.

Brzustowski says their purpose is “to isolate the apartheid regime and prevent Canada’s continued diplomatic position with the regime.” He points out as common knowledge that the residences of the Prime Minister and the Governer General are located directly across from the South African Embassy. Brzustowski feels that the proximity of the highest Canadian officials to the racist regime’s embassy is symbolic of their hypocrisy in dealing with South Africa. The federal government’s official rhetoric is contradicted because they still maintain diplomatic ties with a country which they outwardly condemn. Canada, is in effect, condoning a racist structure according to Brzustowski. He argues that “the continued existence of the South African Embassy facilitates economic trade between the two countries and gives the South African government unwarranted political legitimacy.” The example that Brzustowski provided was the fact that South African officials are present during ARMX, Canada’s fair, held in annual weapons Ottawa. WRAC grew out of a concern for local education and action, and the group is still actively recruiting members from universities, high schools, church and the community at large. Brzustowski says the group will how to protest “teach people peacefully while still being effective in their actions.” To further this goal, they are sponsoring a one-day nonviolence training workshop on April 8 called ‘Youth, Racism, and NonViolence.”

Prez.and prez. elect talk about CFS
We said
what’s next? Regarding current CFS lobbying efforts, Arnold says she is taking a wait and see attitude toward the future of Bill C-33 following Michael Wilson’s budget. The proposed bill lowers the growth of federal transfer payments to the provinces for postsecondary education. Last month’s budget, however, went beyond that and actually froze the growth of,such payments to Ontario. Lobbying against the transfer payment freeze is a prime example of the role CFS can play for UW, claims Readman, and fighting the proposed three per cent administration taxdon loans and grants is another. Vellinga believes CFS should also be lobbying harder for the establishment of a federal tax credit given to companies who donate equipment to universities for non-research purposes.
by Chris Frey Imprint staff University No booze for Guelph? The LCBO has recommended that the University of Guelph have their licence revoked for a two-week period. The board hearing, held on January 9, was a direct result of the Sloan episode at the Brass Taps bar last January. The establishment is being criticized for serving Richard Sloan too much alcohol before an accident at Mountain Hall claimed his life. As a result of the accident they have been strictly monitored by various alcohol related agenciesand the media. Director of Administrative Services, John Mason, has suggested that part of the problem is that instead of being compared to other universities and licensed establishments, Guelph is being singled out. The U of G is third on the Brewer’s Retail’s list of beer saIes in the province. University

ply maximizing the number of students admitted while minimizifig the costs to them. He says increasing enrolments have a grave effect on the already dangerously low teacherstudent ratios. He also believes lower and middle class Canadians should not have to foot the bill for the education of wellto-do students.
Now that the students of Waterloo have officially joined the Canadian Federation of Students, the question arises: Where do we go from here? The strong showing of the No-CFS forces in last month’s referendum (44.1 per cent of decided voters) indicated that many students still have reservationsabout the organization, and both Federation of Student’s President Dave Readman and President-elect John Vellinga would like to see some changes made. First on the hit list is the CFS statement of principle which calls for the total elimination of tuition fees, “I don’t believe we shouldn’t have to pay anything,” says Readman, adding, “there should be a commitment on the part of the student.” He feels it is odd that CFS, which lobbies the federal government, has a policy on, tuition at all since the federal government have no direct control over setting tuition levels. Vellinga calls the no-tuition policy a bad idea since it presents the CFS as radical and extremist, which hurts its lobbying effectiveness. He also notes that the CFS lacks any real strategy on student loans as it believes loans aren’t necessary if there is no tuition.
Both Vellinga and Readman support the Queen’s Blueprint For Action which recommends higher student tuitions accompanied\< by increased government su-pport. Thk report, h&&ever, has not -yet been adopted by CFS. “Unnecessary political posturing” is what Vellinga calls the large amount of time bent bv the CFS on non-educational ‘issues’and he says he will be pushing for the CFS to limit its scope to more educational issues.
Despite its faults, Readman says “I’m happy that the students of Waterloo decided to join CFS.” Velli3ga notes, “there is a definite need for a national student voice”and says he is going into the general meeting this June with an open mind and will ignore rumours about the nondemocratic nature of the organization. Waterloo students will start paying their CFS fees ($2 per term which is included in the Federation of Students fee) next September, but Readman plans to gain access to CFSnet (a computer network linking student unions of member schools) before he leaves office at the end of this term. He says the National Student Health Plan, which is run by CFS, will have little affect at UW since we Jready have a successful health plan although he says the establishment of a dental plan is possible. In other exciting CFS developments, in a referendum last February 6 and 7, students at the University of Western Ontario overwhelmingly rejected membership in the organization. The Yes-C FS organizers claimed the No-CFS side used scare tactics such as suggesting theCFS is in financial trouble and could not be trusted to vote exclusively on student issues. Yes-CFS organizers claimed that any person who voted No must not have been properly informed.
Readman also feels there should be less effort spent lobbying on issues which don’t directly affect students but Arnold points out that the CFS executive is simply acting on the policies and priorities set out by its membership. Readman says the current voting procedure of one vote per student organization needs to be changed to better represent the population sizes of the -various sc’hobls. Vellinga doesn’t consider the voting pr?? cedure as a burning issue, noting the difference in interests is far greater between schools from different pro-’ vinces than between schools of-d& ferent sizes.
CFS chairperson Jane Arnold defends the tuition policy since it falls under the more general policy concerning accessibility which declares that there should b no financial barrier for students. She also notes that CFS members may change any policy they disagree with, provided two-thirds of the voting delegates at the semi-annual general meetings agree with the change. The whole manner in which Canadian universities are funded should be examined, according to Vellinga, and it should not be a matter of sim-

marks di&qualified!
The results of a physical education mid-term written by 225 students have been disqualified following numerous complaints to the chairwoman of the department’s undergraduate program. Additions and deletions to the exams indicate clearly that students cheated, and thus the exam results, worth 30 per cent of the course mark, were rejected. Another 20 per cent of a student’s mark went toward a paper worth 50 per cent for the final. Now the course mark will be made up of a 60 per cent final and a 40 per cent paper. Chairwoman Janice Rutherford said she consulted students to determine the most viable resolution to the situation. The decision was accepted by an almost complete consensus of students, although a few students remain upset over the resolution.

Queen’s recycling program is getting underway. The program involves distribution bins for the collection of fine paper and pop cans in buildings across campus including residences and offices. Chair of the Alma Mater Society Recycling Committee hopes to receive a grant from the Industrial Waste Management Branch of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment to subsidize the $6,000 program. On top of the obvious environmetital benefits, fine paper recycling makes economic sense because the costs of waste disposal will be reduced by the implementation of this program.

OPINION
6 Imprint, Friday, March 9, 1990
Alhplnionsonthi8p8gmrestrictlythoseofthea~~
hristians: be reasonable! Religion is good, Religion is bad. These are the two basic arguments that have materialized since the beginning of this year in the forum pages, I would like the thank Allen Chen for starting the debate again, and for having courage to challenge people’s beIiefs. Writers who have “accepted God” have tried to validate their belief by quoting from the Bible and making emotional Brgumegts. Non-believers have questioned the multiple uncertainties that Christians must make up their mind about, and said that there wasn’t enough evidence to confirm the existence of supreme being. - The backbone of many religions, Eastern and Western, are centuries-old \?.ritings and stories kept alive over the years. It is fascinating to realize that .>l.lch a diversity of faiths and practices have arisen from mere words on a iqe, that, centuries later, still provide enough assurance of a supreme bc+ng that people accept the faiith. It is incredibIe that people will alter their lifestyles, engaging in a pres1.rIbed set of practices based only on scriptures and the hope the words proI de. Regardless of what side of the fence you sit on, you should ask yourself rihy this isso. Why do some find it plausible and others not? Are Christians, ;I+ Allen Chen put it “self righteous brain-washed zombies” (January 5, Imprint letter to the Editor), or have they just been smart enough to “see the light”? Are atheists poor lost souls {what is a soul, exactly?) who won’t be “saved” or simply people who don’t see authority in scriptures or the ,Ictions of parents and peers? Many people laugh when they first hear the story of the effect of Orson Wills War of the Worlds radio play. The play, about Martians invading the earth, was so realistic that thousands of listeners became hysterical, believing the world was coming to an end. Based solely on voices emanating from the radio, people believed. No visual confirmation was needed. The belief was quickly dispelled of course, once they found out it was only a script. This can be analogized crudely with the Christian belief. The Bible is a book which Christians refer to as a source of authority. But, unlike the Martian story, believing in God offers hope, as well as guiding readers toward a set of practices that will reward the faithful. What hope? The words “Eternal salvation” jump to mind. If one is not “saved,” then it stands to reason that something worse happens: you, or rather, your soul goes to heaven or hell. In both the Christian and Martian stories, I believe that the basis of the faith is fear. Fear of what? The consequence of life, which is death. Some would argue that the basis of the Christian faith is belief in Christ as the son of God. I believe both the statements to be valid. Fear of death is natural. But when a faith promises some type of extension of life in a heaven, fear of death has to be a factor, although not necessarily a large one. Prolonging life is society’s main preoccupation (excepting NRA supporters). Witness people in hospitals who are kept alive solely by machines they are vegetables, some of whom are not functioning at all and have no capacity to enjoy life or even realize the situation they are in. A couple years ago, someone with the idea of having these vegetables contribute to society suggested that they be kept alive to allow doctors to harvest blood, plasma, extra organs, and so on from these people. The soul is yet another Christian concept where faith overcomes reason, What is it? It’s another way people can prolong life, at least in their minds. Each of us supposedly has one which, upon death, goes to heaven or hell. Everyone wants to believe that life won’t totally come to an end, and tlyt there is a non-physical entity that lives on after the physical body dies. Miracles are something else to be addressed. They are supposed to be indications of God’s powers and wisdom. We constantly hear of new “miracle” technologies and use the word so often in regular speech that it no longer relates just to acts of God. Is the destruction of the Berlin Wall part of glasnost and a natural progression of an unsuccessful political system, or did a God play a part in the peace process? All right, if I think Christianity is somewhat irrational, why has it survived all these years? Well, not only is the Bible a good piece of writing, but such a strong presence is maintained, by the Church ~that it is often difficult to decide whether all those believers could actually be wrong. ’ The Bible, as previously mentioned, is the backbone of the faith. The reason citing passages from it has no impact on non-believers is that they regard it as little more than a best-selling novel. Rushton, in his now-infamous paper correlating brain size to intelligence (among other things) has an extensive bibliography of sources - some of which are his own previous writings - backing up his claims, yet no one I know of has supported his theory. Most people have dismissed his theory because, regardless of the validity or falseness of his evidence and sources, people simply do not want to believe his conclusion. With Christianity, fieopie want to believe the conclusion and the hope it offers and therefore no scientific or physical evidence is required. Now, for all the fuming faithful already reaching for a pen and paper to counter my evil thoughts and suggestions, please do this for me. Present if L’C)Ucan, logical reasoning for you believing what you do without quoting 5cripture or making emotional arguments. If the Bible is the source of authority for your belief, then explain what ( jnvinced you to accept it as an authority. Was it a gradual process that you ;Iever bothered to question, or did something else convert you? Ask your%ulf these questions. I Iave Thomson

Take a deep breath, and another. . . enjoy the free air we breathe, for it may not remain so forever. Air, rather oxygen, is the final frontier of commodification within our multinational controlled world. With the gradual controlled destruction of our atmosphere, we will be forced to turn toward the only organizations with the capital resources to produce through artificial means ‘or through purification - breathable oxygen. The privatization of the air which we breathe, complete commodification of the planet will be achieved land upon which to build shelter or grow food, water to drink, combustibles for warmth or cooking, and of course, flesh and air will all be available to those with money to spend. From a corporate view, worldwide calamity has never been a bad thing, it is more accurately a time of great oppdrtunity. Take WW II for example. The number of large corporations on both sides of the conflict which made fortunes in the manufacture of military goods is stunning. God and country my ass! While countless died and died and died, U.S. cortheir own porations gouged government with padded contracts. The state of cold war in which the world existed allowed corporations to get billions of dollars of public money in exchange for building
weapons
which were destined to quickly obsolete and replaceable - in addition to the money the public already pays directly to corporations for ‘the commodities we consume. But all good things come to an end, and careful worldwide manipulation has allowed multi-national control of the greatest oxygen-production centre on earth - the Amazon basin. Thus even as environmentalists fight the uphill battle against air pollution, the second prong of the corporate attack is producing a declining oxygen percentqge in our atmosphere. To reduce the whole equation down to money though denies that the heart of the corporate struggle is for power. Power that may be obtained through monopoly or oligopoly control over important commodities, bought public officials who ensure that our t/~~~~rlloc~~~~c~~~ is as empty and ineffectual as the swine we elect, or the far-reaching tendrils of the control data octopus which tracks our movements by our bank machine and credit card transactions along with checking the destinations of our phone calls. As our ravaged planet becomes more and more unliveable, more and more barren, money will lose importance - the slavery into which we will sell ourselves for a few sips of drinkable water, a few breaths of breathable air, a few mouthfuls of food will be their greatest reward. Only corporations with the resources will be able to produce the commodities we need to survive. Bodies will be the greatest measure of Icorporate success. Names of those sold into voluntary slavery will be on the bottom line of corporate statements.

The school of the ridgid tool To the editor,
I read with dismay the responses to my February 23 letter, “Communal Scream,” namely “Frosh Week Great” from Colin Dale and “Engineering Fan” from Clark Martin and Gord Alerez.
I hoped my letter would evoke thoughtful responses. After reading them, though, I found that their tones were almost savage in nature and that they emphasized personal attacks rather than critical, fact-based thought. Mr. Dale seems to feel that because I did not discuss all of the good things
Gun control To the editor, In response to the criticism of the petition calling for stricter gun control laws, we feel it is necessary to clarify the intent of the petition. The petition was initiated through the student engineering association at Ecole Polytechnique as a tangible effort toward a safer society, in response to the massacre which occurred there. Its nationwide distribution was undertaken by the Congress of Canadian Engineering Students, of which UW’s Engineering Society is a member. It was expected that there would be ‘.’ some opposition, especial@ fram present gun owners. The petition is not aimed at hunters and lawful gun owners. Its intent is to control the accessibility and acquisitions of “unnecessarily dangerous” firearms. For example, weapons such as the Ruger Mini-14 semi-automatic rifle. It is used by SWAT teams in the U.S., and is considered too powerful for routine use by state troopers.* However, such a weapon can be purchased in Canada. There is some controversy as to the wording of the petition. It should be known that-weapons experts were consulted in its development. Words such as “semi-automatic” were decided against because it would prohiit certain weapons which are deemed lawful and necessary. The term “para-military” was recommended to avoid such controversy. This term, though not evident to the @man, is widely accepted and

To the editor, As a woman, I would like to respond to the letter by Jonathan Yuen that “Focus on motherhood” appeared in the March 2 issue. I do not understand the motivation behind such a letter. To question the objective of the women’s movement and base his argument around traditional roles is to not fully comprehend what the women’s movement is as well, an examination based in the past rather than the present. Mr. Yuen states that “the traditional
female role in North America has been mothering” yet, he neglects to mention the traditional male role has been farming! Today, this male role has changed; men support their families, but are rarely the sole provider. The percentage of men who are “traditional” in their role as farmers has decreased drastically. The female

-A %ocially stupid” attitude?1 To the editor, As an engineer, I was rather perturbed by Eric Langford’s and Elliott Simcoe’s letter to the editor “Engineering deserves better press” in the March 2 Imprint. Is there any real evidence that the Imprint editorial committee holds a “conscious bias” against fairly representing engineering issues, or is it more likely that engineers have not shown their presence at the Imprint in terms of writers and staff? Here are a few more questions I feel engineers ought to ask themselves. Do engineers have the right to interrupt a class outside their faculty, e<en if, in the remote possibility, the professor actually gives consent? What about the students; they might object? Need they not be consulted? Just because it is accepted for engineering events to interrupt -engineering
traditional role today still involves mothering but the care and feeding of children, is no longer the total essence of our lives; it is no longer our inevitable destiny! I agree that “mothering is extremely important and necessary”; this is rarely disputed. However, I don’t. understand his problem with women who better themselves through education and thus enter what he calls “traditional male roles.” How does occupying such positions lessen our importance as females? Society
has downplayed
the t-rue
worth of motherhood, but you cannot make such a statement without first looking at how the role &women in society has been dovnplayed! Women are the oldest oppressed group oi~ the plapet. Their sole function is not to, produce children. A female’s a)&v to produce children is one of many she may possess, and whether they are developed fully& a choice.
classes does not mean the same applies to other faculties’ classes. Disrespect to other students only reinforces their opinion that engineers “don’t give a damn” about anyone else. Wouldn’t engineers have a better reputation if we stopped constantly associating sex and reproductive body parts with engineering tradition (e.g. The Rigid Tool)? Face up to it,! Some of these traditions do have sexist undertones. I know these m&oriented rituals are meant mainly as spirit builders, but what are people outside the engineering faculty to assume? With our portfolio, it is hard to convince non-engineers, who view engineering as a traditionally sexist maledominated profession, that we’re not, in general, sexist pigs. It is obvious that engineering students throughput Canada have an image problem. In the short term, it seems no matter how much good we
roles Realistically, in today’s society motherhood is no longer a career. Mothers are still very much the nurturers and creators of their children’s environment, but the difference today is that many women choose to nurture themselves first. Personal fulfillment and the occupation of traditionally male roles does not lessen our role or ability as mothers, it allows us to set an example, open new doors, and gain added respect because of it. The objective - of the women’s movement is not to Fake “society (especially men) aware of the real value of mothering,” it is, if anything, to make them aware of our value as women and this is not solely based on our ability to have children, but in our ability to functidn as equals in society.

I would think that more care should have been taken so as not to misrepresent me in their response. Messrs. Martin and Alvarez also say that I have “experienced the bandwagon” and that it’s time to “jump off.” I expressed constructive criticism because I am concerned about the current situation in engineering. It is unreasonable far two people who do not know me to insult me by questioning my motives. Also, contrary to the statement made in “Engineering Fan,” I did not label the fostering of team rivalries childish. I did say, however, that screaming insults at others is the WRONG way to express our spirit. Finally, I till quote from the letter by Martin and Alvarez. They write:“1 t is hard to resist sarcasm when addressing the points brought up in Mr. Soshan’s letter.” I suggest to them that is is NOT difficult to avoid sarcasm, if, of course, one is dealing with facts and issues, not insults and misrepresentations.

To qet women to stay at home . , .
Place To the editor, I must respond to Jonathan Yuen’s letter in last week’s Imprint -ah well . . * what kind of can opener is required to open up your mind? Back in 5000 b.c., there was a group of people hunting and gathering around the Tigris-Euphrates (the Twin Rivers Area). One day, Ug, a prehistoric kind of guy (or gal), decided to plant seeds, surely not “the traditional role” - Yuen 3: 1. A group of redneck cavemen protested;
they wrote letters to the prehistoric Imprint, etc. Farming then became the norm, and then Ag the Great domesticated animals. The same kind of opposition took place. Life was never the same. The millenia crawled by. In 1917 A.D. wometi legally became people in Canada, thus slavery was abolished. Now, in this age of compact disks and pluralism, we still find these Cro Magnon types who think they know how everyone
shoutd dress, what kind of haircut they should have, what they should do with their reproductive functions, etc. Jonathan, if you want certain people to get pregnant and stay in a home all their life why don’t you just place them under house arrest? It’s the same thing isn’t it? The “traditional female role in North America has been mothering.” Hmrnmm . . . let us explore this logic: How about, the traditional male role in North America was hunting and gathering; then it was farming; then it

was working in a factory; then itwas going to war; then it was being poor; then it was going to war again; then it was to make money. Do you get my point, Jonathan? Am I untraditional because I am a university student? I guess that the answer to that question is “yes” because I am the first person in my family to be one. The point is the foIloting: every person, male or female, has the richt lo choose any life and/or lifestyle &at that one person wishes. Thi-operative word here is “chooses.” I know

Gender To the editor, After having had many years of hearing feminist ideology, men have responded in varying ways. In this column, we present where some men who are open to feminism see that we are today, and where we should go from here. Next week, we take a closer look at these views and strategies from a feminist perspective. Some men have come to see that if human beings and the entire planet are to survive, then we must critically challenge the accepted definition of masculinity. It is consistent with being pro-feminist and non-violent, to find it necessary to address feminist issues so that other men who feel trapped within their masculinity can find a path toward relating equally to the women in their lives. As Rosemary Ruther put it in her Lih~~urion Thyo/&v in her chapter “The White Left in the Mother Country”, the role of those in power is to educate their peers. Domination as the defining characteristic of masculinity - the unequal control of one group (men) over another (women) - is constantly re-affirmed in our society. Note for example, men’s fascination with sports. While some men who never fared well in competitive sports as boys, are bothered by that fact, they still take pride in neither playing sports nor watching it on television feeling that sports re-enforces competition from the earliest school yard activities to the professional match on national television. There is more to the playing of games than merely to increase health levels: their very structure re-enforces competition: team versus team, me versus you, us versus them, boys versus girls. Along with competition, this socialization of boys through sports can teach men to relate to one another aggressively. While on the one hand, there is a social taboo against boys touching other boys, there is an accep-tance of boys punching, kicking, and hitting one another in sports. The attitudes learned in this model of competition between men is hard to keep out of all other areas of life, such as dating women, politics, and business. Where men want to exclude women, they protect this model by glorifying and mystifying the trivial. Sports trivia (famous athletes names, scores, armchair coaching) becomes mystified, somehow important, and understood by men. This form of knowledge is prized by men. Many men have memories of watching all the sporting events they could; memories of replays, “vital” statistics, and game results being shared the next day at school; memories of girls being excluded from this ritual since sports is always something boys do. Male bonding around sports trivia reflects how’male control over even trivial knowledge can keep men in a role of greater respect, iniportance, and prestige. While women do the unpaid work of child-care, men are h;ee to partake in the very highly paid world of sports enthusiasm. The intention is not that all sports are trivial in and of themselves, but that men can create a realm of sports trivial pursuit which excludes the majority of women. Sexually, there are two main factors that re-enforce male dominance over women and other men: penis centred, sexuality, and compulsive heterosexuality. As evidenced by Freud, the penis is the focus of male sexuality and represents the power of masculinity. This power is bc$h a form of competition with other men, and a tool to dominate women. Male angst over penis size equates the “real man” with the bigger penis. Both women and men are told that the penis is a mystical thing, even to be worshipped. This re-enforces the myth that women are somehow dependent on men for sexual pleasure, and that men are active while females are passive.The theory of this active-passive dichotomy reaffirms women’s “dependence” on men. To overcome sexism, pro-feminist men have seen a need to educate themselves about sexism: to read all the feminist theory they can find. They have seen that compulsive heterosexuality and active male, passive female roles must be challenged in interpersonal relationships. Very practical and easy things that some men have tried to do are to not walk behind a woman when they are alone on the street, and to cross the street when approaching a women alone at night. Men can challenge sexist comments made in the company of other men, and make companies which run sexist adds aware of their disapproval and concern. Pro-feminist men have seen the need to respect women’s oniy space and the intelligence and integrity of all the women that they meet.

I am writing concerning the March article “Sexist articles aren’t
fUMy.”
I’m a woman, I read the Opus article “Ten easy steps to get a girl in bed on the first date” and thought it was humorous. Are any of these words familiar to the Women’s Issue Board or the Women’s Centre on campus? I think its time to learn what is truly offensive and Btop dwelling on insignificant things. Grow a sense of humour. If the article had been titled “Ten easy steps to get a guy in bed on the first date” would you be so offended and call it blatantly sexist? I think not. I’m sure that all of the women on campus have, at one time or qnother, read articles in “Glamouf or >“Vogue” on “How to get that perfect man”or “Improve your flirting Skills.” Are those sexist? Why haven’t men been able to ban the distribution of those sexist magazines that so blatantly suggestways to “net” a men with our womanIy skills? I was shocked and angered when the memorial service for the massacre in Montreal was turned into a stage show for women’s rights and. expressing how we are always “wronged” by men. That was a time for mourning - not time for a stage show. The Women’s Issues Board is not representing or ‘acting on behalf of the majority of women on campus. They are making their job into a circus and, quite frankly, are sometimes laughable. I am embarrassed by the Women’s Issues Board &ore often than 1 am pleased with what they are doing. Are we so insecure with our position in society that we have really become so defensive of everything? Is the ground ye’ve gaine& in this “man’s” world so precarious? The time has passed for us to worry about changing the word “man” in everything to something alternate. We’ve got our equality, we’re accepted in society - it is now time to fight for unity between the two sexes. I don’t think that the Federation of Students was justified in asking either the editor of Opus or the editor of Mathnews for a letter of apology. It only takes common
sense to rcalizc
that those articles were published to make us all laugh - certainly not offend us. Expend your energies on something that really needs fixing - not on articles that were written to tickle everyone’s funny bone. Lisa Clarke lJ3 Physics
Talk
sex!
Although people frequently talk more than they act, it is often easier to engage in sex than to talk about it. However, sexual experiences will be much more enjoyable (and safer) when communication is part of your sex life. 0pen communication is-easiest in a trusting and caring relationship. It is much easier to open up to your partner when you know that whatever you say will be accepted. Communication is important before, during and after sexual activity. Whether a couple is hiving sex for the first or 347th time, they should be sure that they are both willing at moment. Partners should be comfortable letting each other know when they are (and aren’t) in the mood for sex People who are entering into a new relationship must do a difficult and awkward thing - talk about their sexual histories. This is essential in knowing whether or not it is necessary to take precautions against sexcally transmitted diseases (STDs). You don’t need to know every sexual encounter that your partner has had in the past but you do need to know if he or she has been exposed to STDs in the past. If you don’t feel comfortable asking your partner these questions, use a condom until you are. Communication during sex can be either verbal or nonverbal. Nonverbal communication is usually the easier of the two and can be use-’ ful while a couple is developing the trust that will allow for open verbal communication. Nonverbal communication can be as easy as observing what your partner positively responds to and learning to recognize their signs of arousal. It can also take. the form of gently guiding your partner’s body, genitals or hatid to where you would like it to be and demonstrating the speed, pressure, etc. you desire. Don’t be concerned that your partner might consider such an action “aggressive. ” It is very likely that he or she is wondering what you would like and will be very appreciative of your guidance. Laughter can be another way of communicating with your partner. There are many things that happen during sex (e.g. “strange” noises during intercourse) that your partner might think are unusual when in fact they are completely normal. Being able to laugh at such things enables both of you to focus on the pleasure you are experiencing without worrying about unnecessary things. Verbal communication can be a good supplement to nonverbal communication. Although some people do not like talking during sex, it can be a good way of sharing fantasies or ensuring that both of you are getting what you want out of the experience. Try to avoid questions such as “Do you like this?” or “Is this what you want?” because it is difficult for someone to answer “no” to these quPs~ons. Whatever type of communication you choose to use, make sure that you learn what pleases your partner. Everyone has their own unique likes and dislikes and these cannot be learned by guessing or by reading books of magtizines. Talking openly about sex isn’t easy, but it is worth it!

The weatherman came through with bright skies and plenty of snow as UW’s spirited students welcomed Winterfest 90 . . . .the Ultimate Quest. Wednesday, February 28 brought the arrival of the big tent. No, it wasn’t the circus, it was Winterfest. On Thursday, March 1, the doors to the tent opened with a graffiti party and ice fishing hosted by the ES. Society. A scavenger hunt, organized by the Science Society, also provided excitement for students with the midterm blues. A team from engineering won this event. Several events dominated Friday, March 2. The polar plunge took place 0~ the Bomber Patio, presented by the Engineering Society.The weather was somewhat crisp, but this didn’t dampen the spirits of the over 30 peopie who decided to take the frigid plunge. Fortunately, there were hot tubs within running distance of the pool to defrost the contestants. The Winterfest ball hockey tournament was the centre of activity for Friday afternoon. It was easy to notice
the two ball hockey rinks set up next to the 5500 square foot tent on the PAC Patio. Many good teams competed both Friday and Saturday afternoons. The final game took place at 5 pm. Saturday, pitting the Eviction Party against the Bulldogs, who won by a 12 to 2 margin. For the second night the tent offered groovy dancing and the odd refreshment, while the Campus Centre was the site of a popular square dance. The Midnight Sun Solar Car race crew hosted a Mexican bash at the Bombshelter Friday night. Even though the mercury thickened outside, the ‘Shelter proved to be the ideal refuge as many a Corona fell vi& tim to Amigos quenching their thirst in the Mexican heat. On Saturday, the weather was great once again. The Winter Olympics and the ball hockey tournament provided opporfunities for contestants to work on their facial tans. Participants in the Olympics were challenged by the obstacle cuurse, ffag football, snow volleyball and tugof-war. Although the weather was not exactly conducive to surfing, loads of near zinc face paint was donned by

You think you’re pretty hot stuff don’t you? “Damn right 1.am.

Whores do it for money.” So if you do it for cash it’s bad and if you do it for dinner and the night on the town it’s okay? “You know what I mean. It’s a whore’s job to have sex for money. Not a reward for presents or a date.” Oh. Being a house wife is a job nowadays, isn’t it? “Yes, today we recognize the valiant efforts of women who decide to stay home and take care of the home.

Every university has its distinct features; every university has its advantages and disadvantages. Many who consider attending the University of Waterloo have been drawn here by one feature: the welldeveloped co-op system. .

Try not to- look stup.id Jane Fleming 3A Applied Studies - Sociology (from Grand River Collegiate Institute, Waterloo) Trying to casually refer to a carefully hidden map.while at the same time attempting to look like you know exactly where you are going; tagging along inconspicuously on a tour; and making a mental note to ditchthe gym bag in favour of a knapsack are just a few of the many tactics used by high school students visiting a university campus. The desire to know as much as possible about the campus seems to be matched only by the fervent wish not to stand out too ’ much.
Well, stop worrying about it. No matter how hard you try, you simply cannot look like a true university student until you have pulled at least a few all-nighters in the library, lived on a steady diet of kraft dinner and pizza and closed down the local pub at least a few times per term. Sound like fun? Well it is!.So ask all the questions you want, and make sure you find out about all facets of university life, not just the courses and marks, but the atmosphere, spirit, sports facilities, pubs, and societies. As a tour guide, I have heard a wide variety of questions. Some clearly have their priorities in order: “What are the men at Waterloo like? I mean, what are the chances of me finding a

La bour day, September 1986. There 1 was, in the back seat of OUI Oldsmobile, my mother at the wheel my older sister beside her. Ont hundred-and-sixty kilometres of pavement lay between me and my first day as an Ontario post-secondary student. r’ I tried to act calm as we raced down the 401 to our destination. It was a pretty popular day for famiIy outings. I swear we must have passed 50 Oldsmobiles each with a nervouslooking fresh in the back seat, snickering parents looking on from the front seat, and a tonne of useless junk, painstakingly accumulated over five years .of high school, in each trunk. Yup, this was a pathetic-looking caravan. It became eten more interesting when huge signs started to appear on the side of the highway reading “this way stupid frosh’j . . . “there’s no turning back now” . . . “prepare to meet your maker.” Well.. . maybe that last one was just my imagination running away with me. I guess those signs scared me, but my mom and sister nearly killed themselves laughing. ” ‘In any case, we turned onto highway eight, then 86, then, UNIVERSITY AVENUE!! As soon as we entered the main gate, I asked my mom to turn around and go back. “I don’t really need university . I . 1 can work in the drug store . . . Ill get promoted to head cashier . . . it’lI be great!” No dice. We proceeded around ring road, and my heart began to pound.. I was so nervous, I nearly , coughed up a lung. .
When we pulled into Village Two, my eardrums began to pound to the sounds of New Order, I caught a glimpse of a group of other nervouslooking frosh in ugly bright yellow tshirts. Our fresh shirts, I thought. This didn’t look that bad. Ev&yone was having fun. Then someone yelled, “free beer and pizza!” Instantly, I knew I would love my new home.

From feminist by Angela Heeds Imprint staff Special thanks to Kim Speers, Women’s Issues B-d, for her research.
What is it that makes women so afraid of being labeled a feminist and men so afraid of meeting one? What is the phenomenon that has led a whole generation - the one which has benefitted most from the women’s liberation movement - to alienate themselves from the activists who brought them the equality they now take for gran_ted? One reason is the media portrayal and popular conception’ of a feminist. The stereotypical feminist is overwei&t (and likes it), probably a lesbian -or at the very least hates men, does not shave her legs or underarms, is loud and abusive, wears no make-up and is badly in need of some. Unlike other stereotypes of rnarginalized or visible groups, this depiction is a selfperpetuating generalization. Since women have the choice of classifying themselves under this label, many women in the mainstream who support the cause and the issues prefer not to associate themselves with the group. The result is a small minority of women as spol&persons for an ideology
women’s experience and to the mate&l basis of their oppresion. Women’s role in biological reproduction is seen to be the basis upon which male privilege is established and the root of male control of women’s bodies. This control is expressed in the exploitative patterns of female/male sexuality and in violence against women, Unlike liberal feminism which identifies the power of men as a goal for women, radical feminism validates the differences between women and men by identifying fundamental emotional, social and political differences. Radical feminism has been largely responsible for the development of a womancentered culture that takes the form of alternative businesses, art, music, etc., which provide an alternative to “male (main)stream” institutions and culture. Radical feminists have organized against male control of women’s bodies through rape crisis centres, Take &I& the Night demonstrations, shelters for battered wives and antipornography actions. The socialist ,$wMsm approach analyzes women’s oppression through four interconected categories: gender, class, race and sexual orientation. It’s supporters

In 1971, Canadian full-time female employees were earning 60 per cent of the wages of full-time male employees. Fifteen years later, wonen were earning 65 percent of male wages, hardly an improvement., Even student summer jobs show a large wage gap according to a 1988 University of Victoria study by Dr. Roy Watson. While 30.1 per cent of male students were shown to earn over $6,000 during fhe 16 weeks of summer break, only 617 per cent of female students eatied the same amount. Further supporting the gender basis of the gap was the lack of variation in earnings between studenk in the humanities and those in sciences.

occbpations that women dominate and which employ 26 per cent of all female workers are generally low paying. “Feminism is a movement where women get more radical as they get older,” observes Ireland (NOW). As the competition gets fiercer and the stakes higher, all marginalized groups wilI face increasing and more apparent discrimination. For many women the barriers hit home when they collide with the glass ceiling over middIe management. Or, they decide to raise a family and must now juggle two full time jobs or make a choice. “In 7%~ Second Shifi," reports %W magazine, “a study of 50 mostly middle-class, two-career couples published this year, Arlie Hochschild, a sociologist at the University of California, Berkeley, found that wives typically come horn6 from work to another shift: doing 75 per cent of the household tasks.” Says Hochschild, “Men are trying to have it both ways. They’re trying to have their wives’ salaries and still have the traditional roles at home.” Whether couples function this way consciously or unc&sciously, the social&ation that our parents gave us is difficult to deny but not impossible. Currently the federal government is making some &tempts to aYddress the issue of matema and paternal leave. Along with the reforms to unemployment insurance that
Says Watson, “I was interested in trying to explore if there were differences in students from various faculties but, in fact, there are no real discrepancies there.”

crimination that perpetuates the cycles. We associate these problems with the kind of poverty many of us have not witnessed, or if -we have, hope and expect never to encounter personally. Unfortunately,as the Montreal tragedy showed us, violence against women knows no socio-economic boundaries. The answer to the problem does not lie in segregation and alienation. As a demonstration in B.C. made the mistake of doing after the Montreal massacre, we cannot send men to the fringes of our circle of consciousness. They are a part of the solution just as they are a part of the problem. The women’s movement has brought innumerable benefits for men - some might

Queen’s student-run residence council set the pace for the university’s administrative complacency. Dr. Elsbeth Baugh, Queen’s dean of women received calls from people after the sign incident saying, “I’d never send my daughter to Queen’s.” She was sympathetic. “The sad thing is, I’m not sure (girls) would be better off anywhere else.” And it seems she’s right. Last September our own backyard was the scene of offensive posters against women and men as a result of fresh panty raids. The women’s panties, decorated with ketchup and other gunk to represent blood and feces, were captioned with “Do you t&c Vi&“, * other insults and drawings of female @r&a% . marked with obscenities. When a group of graduate social work students and faculty, being so offended, tore down some of the posters they were met with shouts of “Nazi!” ” lesbian radical bitch” and an offer to show them “what a real man is good for.” The retaliatory posters helped the female fresh slip into the cracks that the male fresh

Several of the posters were removed by university security guards, deemed obscene, but at least one was left up which singled out one maIe student as a “fag.” ‘lbver and over again,” says Michele Landsberg, Torurtro Star journalist in response to the incident, “our human rights tribunals have found that a sexually degrading environment amounts to sex discrimination . . .

The second of the series in Mathnms, How To Get A Guy was not humorous, it was not even really offensive (although I can’t speak for the men of Waterloo), just stupid. A good rule of thumb - if you can’t publish your real name with an article, or if you need to add a qualifying statement, “The views in
the following article aren’t even mine,” then you shouldn’t print the article. One of our problems as a society is that we’ve always found our “isms” funny, stemming from the fact that we need to laugh at our own stupidity in order to live with it. Racist jokes used to be the going thing (and still are in some circles).

When the situation arises among young, educated and career-oriented women it is almost PS/JC’I’tedthat she obtain an abortion if possible. Rather than putting so much emotional and organizational energy into protecting a surgical procedure that cuts out the cancerous symptom of a societal problem, we might better address the needs of women through more financially supportive options for single mothers or mothers with careers. No one wants to kill her potential baby, she is forced into that position. We do not have a population problem in Canada unless you consider underpopulation a problem. In fact, were our social support systems adequate and our attitudes toward female sexuality not the remaining archaic ones of shame, the situations where abortion is desirable would be vastly reduced. These are not Arguments against offering safe, legal abortions as the pro-life movement would have us believe.

strengthened our abilities to campaign on many issues,” says NOW president Molly Yard. But it is important for us to be forwardlooking in our beliefs. We must think of how we will feel in the long term and not just fight for the quick-fix band-aid as our society is always so wont to do. Our struggle as women is not qne against men, it is against the social structure which we have all taken a role in sustaining and that keeps men in the dominant roles they hold. Feminist is not a label we should be afraid of. But perhaps it is already too late to salvage it. It has been stigmatized with unflattering physical attributes, a sexual orientation that
many people do not want to be a part of and a femaie superior, man-hating attitude. Possibly the only way to combat the ugly connotations that have attached themselves toj&mi~l&f, making the label almost as much of ai insult as be&g cott~mmist in American society, is to change the label to something which connotes an egalitarian viewpoint. Some have suggested ~~~~ucrlis~, a name which both women and men might feel more comfortable associating themselves with. It is not that we no longer need anger or solidarity among women but that we must be careful not to n&place it, Our male peers are not to blame for being born male. If they encourage the patriarchal structure of our society by persisting in misogynist actions and beliefs or economic or political discrimination based on gender then they need help not hatred. The time for exclusion is over.

There had been talk in the past few weeks that the University of Waterloo volleyball Warriors were not playing at their full potential. One reason might have been the absence of AllCanadian power hitter Steve “Scratch” Smith. Another could have been that The Plague had yet to meet a challenging opponent. Well, both possibilities were eliminated in last Saturday’s provincial championship tilt between Waterloo, the OUAA West champions, and the QueenS Golden the East. Gaels, representing Although the match score wasn’t indicative of the play, the fourth ranked Warriors won 3-O in just over 70 minutes. And the fans knew it would be a great bout, as they started filing into the PAC about an hour before the scheduled match.

But the Warrior faithful were silenced by two sideouts before the PAC turned into pandemonium with match point. “Scratch was a little rusty in his first game back, but he was definitely thtr key to our win today,” commented Spud. “Another key was the crowd. I’ve never seen a crowd so wound up for a volleyball match. They made it exciting and helped force the young Queen’s players into mistakes. But you have to give Queen’s credit. They proved that they can play with the big boys and should be an elite team of the future.” “The points won’t be as easy to get in Winnipeg,” noted Waterloo assistant coach Steve “Spunk” Funk referring ‘to the nationals next weekend. Fittingly, the three fifth-year players, Dambo, Turbo, and Axeman came into their varsity volleyball careers with a provincial championship and went out with one. Overall, Waterloo finished 28-O against provincial opponents this season. Not a bad incentive, heading to Winnipeg.

by Peter Brown Imprint staff Three years ago, the Warrior hockey team was beaten by a referee. Last weekend, they were beaten on the ice. Waterloo fell 2-1, in OT, and 5-2 to the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks for the OUAA West title, and was eliminated from the playoffs. The Hawks go on to the CIAU final four at in Toronto next Varsity Arena weekend, as well as playing the UQTR Patiotes for the OUAA * crown, merely a formality since both teams go to the nationals. The officials started off the series I determined to”let ‘em play,“but soon lapsed into blatant inconsistencies, trying more to keep the play even than to be fair. “There was nothing wrong with (the) officiating,” Don McKee offered. “But, the official doesn’t referee the game; he comes in and predetermines what he’s going to do, and has a certain mind set. I don’t blame it on officials.” Thursday night’s opener at Waterloo Arena, officials or not, was a classic. The two best university goalies in the nation were faced with two of the most potent collections of offensive talent.

Unfortunately for their playoff hopes, the Warrior defence lapsed briefly and disastrously in the third period, allowing Hawk forward Dan Rintche to tie the game at one apiece with only 2:13 left to play. Buoyed by the goal and facing a team who had played three game in six days, Laurier didn’t waste much time scoring in the sudden-death frame. At 295, Golden Hawk Garnet McKechney took a picture-perfect pass from team captain Peter Hellstrom and beat the helpless Mike Bishop from right in front. Appropriately, Waterloo’s only marker was scored by a defenceman, Rod Thacker, midway through the

This looked like it would be the winning goal. ‘The Thursday night game took a little bit of hope out of us,” regretted UW coach Don McKee. “lt took a lot out of us psychologically in preparation for the next game. You just hate to lose a game like that.” Both teams came out hitting hard and looking for the opponent’s key men. Laurier flexed its offensive musde, getting ashored bre&away,. only to have a weak shot saved by Bishop, who was faced with 37 bullets, to Rob Dopson’s 31 in WLU’s net. Ironically, Bishop was named this week to the OUAA all-star first team, while Dopson, despite his slight edge in goals-against average, was relegated to the runner-up squad. The onIy momentum &.&shed early was one of big plays and big hits, with UW captain John Goodman and Tony Crisp both shaking off punishing checks to get shorthanded shots on net late in tie opening frame. Players on both teams were playing their hearts out. Six minutes into the second period, Warrior veteran defenceman Ken Buitenhuis, also an all-star, selflessly leapt spread-eagle in front of a WLU attacker to thwart a breakaway,

Their confidence regained, WLU stormed out in the overtime period, McKechney scoring at 2:05 to send the Warriors home with a 1-O series deficit. But with the Icefield waiting, everyone e?pected the series to be tied. “It really hurt losing that first game, but J thought that we came back and prepared for (game two),” McKee regretted. “Laurier was just a little bit looser, and didn’t make the mistakes that we did.” The Hawks started Sunday’s rematch at the more-than-capacity UW rink (870 fans) the way they left off Thursday night bv scoring only 47

At l2:Z&3 of the period, Waterloo finally converted an opportunity. Laurier’s Scott Driscoll was sitting cooling in the box after a hooking infraction, when Waterloo’s Jamie Maki got control of the puck in the. right corner. He passed it out to an uncovered Rod Thacker at the top of the left circle, who fired it past Dopson to take a 1-O lead. This seemed to pump up the team, and sciati Steve ’ .Watefho Girardi and Maki each had excellent shots on net. The fine play of the Girardi line continued into the third period as he and John Williams forced Dopson to make two more amazing saves.
There was a scramble in front of Bishop at 17:47 of the period, and Dan Rintche punched in the puck to notch the score l-l.

loss in game one. The
rieve the puck, and UW’s Pat DaIy violated his halo of protection, checking him into the boards. The Waterloo team shook off the resulting penalty and began to dominate. Jamie Maki put one past Dopson, but he was offside. Seconds later, Maki gotcontrol of the puck along the boards, and set up a Crisp shot in front for the tying goal. John Goodman set up Rod Thacker to send the Warriors ahead later in the period, going wide on a rush and skating behind the WLU net for the wrap-around pass to the defenceman, who flicked it in. Maki had another opportunity with Dopson on the deck, but fired low instead of high. Laurier’s defence firmed, and the score stood at 2-2 after the first period. The Waders solidified their defensive momentum early in the second, when they fought off a WLU two-man advantage that lasted just over a minute, but they couldn’t convert this emotional lift into scoring, despite out-shooting the Hawks 13-6 in that frame. The second period also featured more enigmatic officiating, with the referee ignoeg all of the stick work and calling drily interference and holding infractions. I3oth teams began the third frame testing the limits of the official’s inconsistent calls by playing roughand-tumble hockey. Warrior Steve Girardi swooped in and put the puck past Dopson, but the whistle had blown. Laurier stormed back and Steve Griggs scored at 7:19 on a pass from Scott Driscoll in the crowd in front of Bishop. . The rest of the game was played under a blanket of whistles as both teams preferred to freeze the puck against their boards than allow shots on net. Midway through the period, Laurier players and fans erupted when UW blueliner Pound alegedly gooned WLU’s Rintche without drawing a penalty. This supposed injustice incited Laurier to score again. With 6:16 remaining, right-winger Mark McCreary got the marker with the help of Steve Griggs and Tom Jackson to put Laurier ahead 4-2, almost out of reach. Waterloo pulled Bishop with 1:40 remaining, and Sean Davidson scored an empty-netter to make the final 5-2 for Laurier. If you’re still hungry for university playoff hockey before the nationals, you can catch Laurier hosting the Patriotes at Waterloo Arena on Saturday night for game two of their OUAA final. If necessary, game three will be Sunday afternoon at 2:OO pm, again at the bubble.

with 11 and 10 points respectively. “He . (Stiefelmeyer) elevbted his game one notch this season, but tonight he elevated his game up about four notches and there was nothing we could do to stop him,” commented McCrae. “We played great defensively but played very poorly on offence.” “We came up big defensively tonight and S tiefelmeyer always comes through when there’s something special on the line,” agreed Mustang skipper Doug Hayes. Spidery guard Chris Troyak ended a fine season with 15 points, to lead the Warrior offence. Rysdale shut down the inside firepower of 6’7” 230 lbs. Waterloo tower Ron Braley, holding him to just two points. Western came out very stale at the beginning of the opening half. Hayes replaced some of his starters and then realized it was a mistake when his team fell behind 13-5, titer seven minutes. Then the’ momentum swung the other way, as the Warriors took a nap to z&w Western to pull within one, 15-14, at 8:46. Waterloo guard Jason Poag answered back with a three-point play to jump forward again, but a basket and a trey by Stiefelmeyer in the final miriutes allowed Western to take the iead to the half, 28-26. In the second frame, the Mustangs tightened up their defence inside, while UW’s perimeter players wasted most of their 30 second clock. Warrior marksman Andy Zienchuk nailed one from the trifecta before getting into foul trouble with his third of the day. Consequently, the purple crew outscored Waterloo 23-9 over the next ten minutes, opening up a 51-35

‘They didn’t have a big star player like predecessors Schneider, Froese. Boyce, Norris, Savich, and Moser. They weren’t evtln supposed to make it this far. But under the coaching wizardry of Dr)n McCrae, the Universitv of Waterloo men’s basketball t&-n made the 1989-90 Final Four Tournament at Western’s Alumni Hall in London this past weekend. But unfortunately, the fifth-ranked W&stern Mustangs rained on the Warriors’ parade with a 63-47 win to advance to the OUAA West final. In the other semi-final match-up Friday night, the second-ranked Guelph Gryphons just barely squeaked by the stubborn Brock Badgers, 70-67. Saturday afternoon, Guelph surprised the highly touted Western squad, 63-55, to take the division crown. But because of their high CIAU rank, the Mustangs will still make their third consecutive national basketball championship appearance in Halifax next weekend under a wild-card spot. The University of Victoria will be the other wild-card team to battle against the six conference winners. Former All-Canadian John Stiefelmeyer orchestrated the win for Western with a game-high 22 pdints and a tenacious defensive effort. Mustangs Kyle Rysdale (6’9”) and rookie eff?Pettkr (6%“) dominated the paint
bulge by 9:55. To add to the damage, Warrior giant Pat Telford ended his fine varsity career on a sad note by fouling out at 7:54, literally shortening Waterloo’s rebounding chances.- But it did alloti UW rookies John Hamilton and Chris Moore time to show their scoring prowess for next season. However, the gap was just too wide and the Mustangs weren’t lctting up. After some thrilling end-toend action in the dying moments of the game, Western won 63-47. The Warriors wrapped up their 1989-90 season with a healthy 19-14 win-loss record (1 l-6 in exhibition, 77 in league play, and 1-I in the playoffs). McCrae is already well underway with the recruiting process for high school students. “We are looking great from the perimeter with a lot of strong guards,” said McCrae in a synopsis of next season’s Warriors. “But we will lose a lot of power inside with Telfotd, (John) Bilawey, and possibly Braley all leaving.” Well whatever happens and whoever plays, you can guarantee that the twenty year varsity coaching veteran will put another great team on the hardwood next season.

Ernst earns s-ilver urn Track
& Field
by Kevin Shoom Imprint etaff
Paul Ernst added to his collection of OUAA medals with a silver at the OUAA/OWIAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Windsor last weekend. Ernst placed second in the 3000 metre race, and his time of eight minutes, 27.20 seconds quahfied him for the CIAU Championships tomorrow (Saturday) in Wtinipeg. Ernst is one of two Waterloo athletes to qualify for the nationals. High jumper Rich Koomans cleared 2.01 metres (6 feet, 8 inches) to make the CIAU standard and place sixth. Overall, the Warriors placed seventh and the Athenas ninth in the 12 school field. The men’s 3000m started slow and Ernst ran a’ patient race. He waited unti the second half of the race to move up to the leaders and took off in pursuit when top-ranked Colin Dignum of Queen’s made his move over the final half-mile. Ernst’s finishing kick gave him his fastest race of the season. Koomans also saved his best for last. His clearance at 2.01m on his third attempt was the highest jump of the season for the UW rookie. The men’s high jump field was exceptionally deep this season; in past years 2.01 would have put Koomans in the medals. Some of the meet’s strangest results came from men’s middle dis-

went to rurtnerS in the “slow” sections. Competitors with slow or no seed times competed on the Friday night, enabling all the potential medallists to race against each other on the Saturday. Toronto’s Mike Birke (Commonwealth Games semi-finalist) in the 600m and Brendan Mathias (1988 Olympic team) in the 1OOOm had no seed times and had to run in the Friday sections. Birke won and Mathias took second. The 1500m was another matter. With Mathias in the fast section, none of his competitors wanted to risk taking the lead. The race degenerated into a very slow affair and, despite sizzling kicks, only Mathias finished fast enough to win a medil. A very happy Dave Lorne of McMaster received the ’ gold. Waterloo’s Robin Beynon, who was third in Lome’s Friday section, finished eighth overall in 4:06.3. Brian Hagameier pIaced 11th with 4:09.8, and Jeff Barrett’s 4:20.1 gave
The men (Welbum, Forrest, Meikle, Glendinning) were seventh in 3:33.2, while the women (Taite, Jones, McHale, Francis) finished in 4: 13.1 for eighth.

In the shot put, Jeff Davis threw 10.90m and Dalton Morgan 10.40m. Waterloo head coach Brent McFarlane expressed pleasure over his team’s showing. He noted that UW Iiad a small team - 23 men, six women. The athletes responded well to the situation, showing great improvement throughout the season and providing several personal bests.

Besides Ernst, UW was represented by Allan Faulds and Kevin Shoom in the 3000m. Both are graduating seniors, running in their final season of varsity competition. Faulds won the Friday section in 8:49.7. His gutsy front-running gave him eighth overall. Shoom ploughed to fourth in the section in a personal best 9:02.2, placing him 14th. Athena captain Jill Francis notched a 4:46.67 1500m, good for seventh. Francis was the only member of last fall’s CIAU cross-country bronze medal team to compete.

In the 600m, Kelly McHale ran a personal best 1:42.20 for 14th (fifth in her section). Welbum ended up 16th in 1:27.25. Waterloo’s relay teams all performed outstanding.

Waterloo is destined to have a mediocre track and field team, though, until it gets some proper facilities. There is no way the school can attract and train a competitive team without an indoor track. Maybe it’s just coincidence, but the major track powers 1 Toronto, York, Western, Windsor, and Queen’s - all have multi-lane facilities available on campus. It is essential for UW track that the proposed Student Life Building have a full 200 metre, multi-lane indoor track. McFarlane expressed hope that the team will attract more people to try out next year. Waterloo was short on field athletes and women this year. McFarlane also thanked assistant coaches Jeff Anderson, Dave Rombough, and Tim Mussar, and complimented the athletic department for their renewed support for the team.

The long, boring Hunt for Red October by Sandy Atwaj Imprint staff Every medium has its own conventions and methods of expressing a certain point of view. Books are different from movies are different from records are different from paintings, and so on. When an attempt is made at joining two media such as a book to a movie, the product has to be identifiable as the final objective; in this case, a movie. This is especially true in a case where one of the original media uses many of its particular conventions. Thu Hunr.for Red October is based on John Clancy’s novel of the same name, and the movie seems to reinforce this fact, making it more than obvious to the film’s viewers. The movie follows the tale of Captain Marko Ramius (Sean Cannery) and hid submarine the Red October. The submarine is a specially adapted “typhoon class” submarine.which can move silently and cannot be detected by radar. It’s also a submarine of first-strike capabilities, making it even more deadly. We are supposed to believe that this is the reason that Ramius, a legend in the Soviet submarine ranks, hero of the Soviet people, and trusted member of the upper echelons of the Soviet military, decides to defect and hand the sub over to the Americans. The Americans don’t know his true intentions, and are therefore out to stop Ramius, while the Soviets (via a letter by Ramius himself) find out the captain’s intention to defect and launch eighty per cent of their submarine fleet after the deserting comrade.

Instead ot using lilm techniques to tell the story of Alexandrovich Marko Ramius and the super-sub the Red October, McTiernan borrows too heavily from the book and the end result is two and a half hours of nothing less than boredom.
1 wouldn’t be so presumptuous as to say that the director of 0~ Hurd doesn’t know how to make a good action movie, but one of the problems this movie has is that it isn’t an action movie at all and at the same time it’s not suspense or any definable genre with which it can stick to and hold the audience’s attention. In addition to the Iack of central focus, there are many scenes in which nobody is moving and the dialogue is extremely boring. One ends up trying to read meanings into the words in order to keep any interest in the movie. A lot of time is wasted, wasted in that there is no action by anybody, nobody is speaking and nothing is happening. Unlike the book, there is no narrator to bring the viewer’s attention to any details, and the camera, in this case, is a poor substitute. The movie uses methods which are probably quite clever in the txjok but are too obvious in the movie. For exampie, during the Hurstfew minutes, Ramius kills a man and tells the crew the victim slipped on spilt tea and broke his neck in the fall. The movie then uses tea as a method of reminding everyone just how much of a tough guy Ramius really is,. However the use of it is so blatant, it loses any subtlety and thus, its strength as a character-building method. The movie is also set a few months before Gorbachev came to power, before pwcstroiktr and &NUN. Even being told this, the cold war mentality

to revenge, mutilating and gore in general are lifelong vocations. For them, for those few who are willing to face and conquer their inner demons, life is a veritable pageant of violence, blood, offal and flying viscera. Steven Seagal is one such “shadow warrior.” Over the last couple of years Seagal has parlayed his impressive martial arts skills and covert operations background into a successful action movie career. If you’ve seen his debut feature, Above the LI~M*.then HurdTo Kill won’t pack too many surprises. Come to think of it, if you’ve seen any action-adventure flicks of the last ten years the faintest of thumb nail sketches can describe the “plot”: good guy gets incriminating film of bad guy, bad guy sends goons to take out good guy (Seagal, of course), cloying wife, and mewling brat. But wait! Here comes the big plot twist - Seagal didn’t kick off. After a seven year coma, that last sustaining
“love” interest, Kelly LA_IBrock is the lucky coma centre nurse who spirits Storm away to a secluded dream home she just ht~~>/~t~t~\ to be babysitting. Looking pensive and pouty, and wearing skintight, crotch-length skirts, she shares loads of adventures, fun, frolic and fornication with Seagal, helping him out any way she can. And in true action/adventure fashion, our taciturn hero has more to say with his murder and mayhem trained body than anything else. But no amount of flying fists, whirling feet or pulsing groins can paper over the gaping holes in the Swiss cheese-like plot. Particularly ridiculous is being asked to believe that Mason Storm really looked like that in 1483. The clothes, the hair, thtr gadgetry are all 1990, and I’m afraid having Chuck Mangione play on the car radio just doesn’t evoke that early 80s mood.
In the mood for some ultraviolence? spark of life within his ravaged, though inherently pure soul, gains strength and reaches his untarnished inner sense of duty, telling him that there was work to be done,bad guys to track down, skulls to crack, kneecaps to crunch - yes, the hands on the alarm clock of destiny had finally reached pun’ hnc+ iitrw. It almost goes without saying that Seagal (or rather, his “character”, Mason Storm) is the last honest cop. in a world where the doughnut stores are filled with cops so crooked they sleep on corkscrews, where the only thing an honest person can count on is a kick in the teeth every time he steps out of his house, one man stands alone: Mason Storm. And of course, behind every hero stands the token screaming bimbol

And in another miraculous twist, not that I want to give lrll of the “story” away, the mewling brat also survived the onslaught of machine gun and machete seven years ago.

Choral music struggles nowadays to maintain an excited audience. It isn’t easy; but Conrad Grebel Chapel Choir director, George Wiebe, little help, was able toexcite and uplift audiences in the St. Catharine’s area last weekend. Wiebe and his wife, Esther, are spending a sabbatical year working at CGC through a professor-exchange program with the Canadian Mennonite Bible College (CMBC) in Winnipeg. They’& brought with them a number of innovative ideas in the presentation of church music, some of which were put to the test at two St. Catharine’s Mennonite churches last Saturday and Sunday nights. Saturday night a young audience watched and participated in a combined dramatic-choral music presentation that celebrated church music and the message of deliverance implicit in the bnten season. The drama portion was provided by another group of Conrad Grebel students under the direction of Cheryl Nofziger Leis, a master’s student in theology with previous theatrical studies. Their dramatization included the vision of the resurrection in Ezekiel (Brad Regehr as Ezekiel and Rob Spencer as the pile of dry bones), Jeremiah’s declaration of the judgment of God (Shawn Derksen) and the plaintive lamentations of some of the daughters of Israel (Julie Snyder-Penner, Carolyn Bell, April Nicolle, and Beth Burton). The play served to set up moods which were variously answered or emphasized by the choir’s music. When Ezekiel commanded the pile of dry bones to come to life the choir sang an energetic negro-spiritual, “Dem Dry Bones”; to lamenting Israel they offered “A Balm in Gilead.”
.and
..
In the final segment all the characters lament together and beg Yahweh to be their shepherd and guide while Ezekiel recites the 23rd Psalm. Their voices rise discordantly and are suddenlv soothed bv the choir’s plaintive and gentle “Shepherd Me; Lord.” Leis’ direction tocussed mainly on physical activity. Those portraying characters used literal action similar to a children’s production while the four daughters of Israel employed what Leis called “abstract movement” to signify the healing balm of Gilead. The most entertaining scene was the enlivening of the dry bones. Rob Spencer’s exuberant and comical dancing - “leaping about” might be a better expression - was the most memorable performance of the whole show. later some choir members led the audience in a singalong of traditional Christian and Mennonite songs before the evening ended with a series of games organized by the local youth. Sunday night the audience was a capacity crowd, mostly the older folk of St. Catharine’s Russian and German Mennonite communities. Ushers had to set up a number of extra seats extending to the balconywalkway overlooking the church auditorium where the performance was held.
The program had been developed by a hymnology class taught by 1Wiebe at CMBC. Called “0 For A, Thousand Tongues to Sing,” it portrayed the history of the Wesley brothers, John and Charles, through some of their hymns and sefected readings. Audience and choir sang together though a few solos were presented by choir members. The most endearing of these was Simeon Butler Marsh’s arrangement of “Jesus Lover of My Soul” sung by Lisa Unrau. Her voice was gentle and sweet as a trained boy soprano and carried clearly to the back of the auditorium. The effect was a warming emphasis of the spiritual themes expressed throughout the show; not as effective, however, was W be’s follow up with Joseph Parry’s more sombre-sounding interpretation of the same song. ‘l’he songs were separated by readings from the sermons and diaries of the Wesleys, each great Protestant preachers. The character of John Wesley was played by Luke Snyder, partly directed by Leis. Snyder received very little direction, said Esther Wiebe. As in Saturday night’s show his minimal actions had the literalness common to children’s productions; in this instance they were not as appropriate or effective. Except for simple hand motions Snyder simply walked to certain places on stage with little apparent intent or purpose. However he played and read the part well and was

by Mavis Dixon Imprint staff Wednesday evening I headed off excitedly to hear one of the world’s most highly acclaimed orchestras: the Moscow Philharmonic. Its weighty reputation as an interpreter of Russian composers suggested that the allRussian programme would be an awe inspiring concert. So what happened? Artistic Director Dmitri Kitaenko demonstrated questionable judgment in choosing Mussorgsky’s “Night on Bald Mountain” to open the concert. Mark Ermler conducted the most disappointing performance 120 musicians of this calibre could muster for this potentially dramatic work, The torrential rush of Romantic excess that makes this piece a Pops favourite was buried alive in this performance. Serge Prokofiev’s piano Concerto 110. 3 in C, op.%, promised great things: Tchaikovsky Competition gold medalist Vladimir Krainev exploring Prokofiev’s rich textures. In the Andante allegro, Krainev convinced me of his technical fluidity. The slinky Theme and Variations was beautifully handled by Krainev but the conductor buried his head so deeply in the score that he let the orchestra slip out of synch with the piano. Finally, the Allegro ma non was

The story goes as thus: Thad Beaumont is th& hain character; one half of a writing team that has made him famous. He has written a critically acclaimed book and lives a happy life with his wife and child. George Stark is Thad’s secret alterego; the personality that Thad uses to popular write his extremely Mudtinels Wav books. These are the books that ha;e made Thad rich.

This books bears an’ amazing likeness to his earlier work /l&v. In fact, it took me until chapter two to realize that they weren’t the satie bopk. Just kidding ha-ha.
George Stark personality by exposi ing it to the world in a national magazine, even going so far as to create a fake tombstone and grave. Ominously, a few days later a gravedigger finds that George Stark’s fake grave has been dug up - from the inside. The next thing anyone knows, two people are dead with no explanation and more are on the way.
Seriously, this book is really slow. It plods alon& page after page until it becomes a chore to read. Worse yet, it’s predictable. You will guess the ending by the middle of the book. Yes, The Dark Ha!f is typical King. Unfortunately, it is typical bad King. His constant repetitive style only makes the text strained and difficult. The book is longer than it should be

As events progress, Thad Beaumont begins to discover that George Stark has actually come alive somehow and is murdering people. It turns out that Stark has come back to write a novel and he needs to take Thad’s place (and life) to do so.

Stark is an unstoppable force, and death follows hi& kverywhere he goes. He stalks Thad, taunting him as he kills and kills. As the story comes to a close, Stark steals Thad’s wife and child and uses them to get Thad to write the book that Stark needs to write to become a real flesh and blood Iperson.

The agent of control is the media, which does not reflect public opinion, but creates it, either through a decided editorial slant or willful omission of pertinent facts that could be damaging to the government, the corporate world, or the militaryindustrial complex. Throughout Nmxsaty I/ius~o~s, Chomsky posits and bolsters support for the “propaganda model” of the media, maintaining that the !VL%~York Times,
to give the most prominent example, is just as much a government organ of official “information” as Pr(rrul’lr. Typically, Chomsky looks to the US?& recdrd of inter&ntion in Central America over the past fifteen years for most of his examples. He examines the discrepancies between the reporting of news of political “communist” or violence in nations antagonistic “totalitarian” toward the U.S., such as Nicaragua, and in “fledgling democracies” liiendly with the U.S., such as EI Salvador. The media, protecting the interests of America’s elites, toes the party line and calls the Contras “freedom fighters,” while damning the leftist rebels of El Salvador as terrorists; any military operation undertaken by the Sandanista government against the Contras is an act of aggression and repression while the Salvadorean army is . protecting its citizenry and . preservmg democracy.

When Lee strutted onstage, she proved that she is still one of Canada’s top female rockers. Aaron’s dynamic stage presence and tireless abandon kept her in perpetual motion about the stage for her entire set (which lasted approximately 80 minutes).

The majority ot the evening was concentrated on promoting the Bo&ro& album. Lee Aaron has found her niche with her distinctive brand of hard rock from the new album, and she was delighted to meet the crowd’s pleas for her hit singles “Whatcha do to My Body” and “Hands On.” The ballad “Only Human”, from Aaron’s previous album, anti one of her own personal favourites, “Rock Candy,” also managed to captivate the audience. Throughout the show Lee teased certain males in the crowd with her seductive glares and inviting gestures. In response to the persistent cheers and remarks pertaining to her scantily-clad body, Lee o$ined “YOU guys have dirty minds . . . but I like it.” The lead guitarist and bass player John Albani also deserve special

by Sandy Atwal Imprint staff ‘They dun ‘r gbe u damn about any trumpet playing band/It ain t what they call Rock and Roil” - Mark KnupJler, “Sultans uf Swing".

Jazz’s most accessible form comes from efforts like Sting’s post-Police days, and people make judgments about jazz based on this, regardless of the fact that they don’t know who Charlie Parker is. Jazz is not Miles Davis. It hasn’t been for about twenty odd years ever since Mr. Davis went on his postmodern bebop-fusion trip, or whatever he calls it. Jazz is not Charlie Parker anymore.

With Courtney Pine, one has an artist whose sincerity and intensity can sustain a musical ideal. This album could never have been produced with a computer, the sound is just too human. The interplay of the instruments and the improvisational sound make this album a pleasure to listen to. Proof of the fact that Courtney Pine is a dedicated individual could be drawn from the fact that he didn’t pack it upand move to America at the first sign of success. He recorded three albums Jourm?; to the Urge Within, Out qf Mclr!v. Orru F+opl~ and Lkstiny :s Sung (& The Image qf Pursuanrp). The week after his first album was released, it entered the British pop charts at number 38. It doesn’t take too long to understand the importance of a serious jazz al bum in the British listings, and one that qualified for a silver album there. His second album hit the American Jazz charts in 1988, corresponding to his first U.S. tour. By this time, Pine was considered a major international jazz artist. Certain elements of jazz are identifiable: ilyogel (the call-response form of instruments, a playful conversation), and the concept of jazz being a performance art, and ergo a heavily improvised art. These are concepts that are’at the heart of what jazz is and Courtney Pine handles them beautifully. The second reason to buy this album is to give Courtney Pine mrwe money to be able to afford whatever it takes to produce more of this art. This album is only music, no words (although the liner notes by Delfeayo Marsalis are a masterful testament to the power of the pen and worth the cost of the album alone as a companion to the music). This is no great loss, however, because actions speak louder than words and Thu Visiurl k T& is some of the best action I’ve heard in a long time.

by Derek Weller Imprint staff Unlike his inspiration Jim Morrison, lggy Pop wasn’t lucky enough to ensure his place in history by croaking in the early ’70s. So after his short, brilliant career with the Stooges, lggy proceeded to treat the world to lots and lots o’ crap. The few bright moments of lggy’s solo career (‘The Passenger”, “Funtime”) have been far outweighed by confused, muddled, ineffective recordings like Blah Blah Blah. Which is to say that 1 didn’t have very high hopes for the lg’s new single, a ballad called “L&in’ on the Edge of the Night.” And boy, does it suck It sounds all right at first, midtempo and slightly menacing. Soon, though, it turns into a radio-friendly, purely sickening chorus. It’s as if after conquering the dance floors with “Real Wild Child.“lggy has set his sights on the wasteland of AM radio.

Accordingly, they pretty much run the gamut of lggy’s solo career: ‘The Passenger” kicks; “Nightclubbing” sputters; “China Girl” pains. The real attraction (though still not much of one) about this 12” is its packaging. Livin ’ on the Edge of the Night is being released in a “special limited edition gatefold sleeve, with discography.” And sure enough, we have a complete discography of all albums by Iggy Pop, lggy and the Stooges, and the Stooges. Now, the other day, I happened to catch the video for “Livin’ on the Edge of the Night,“and judging from lggy’s haggard appearance therein, one thing was clear: this is a man who does r?oi have long io jive. So this “limited edition with discography” thing could very welI be the last record lggy Pop releases. In which case, it might be worth picking up for sheer collectabiIity,alone. Anyway, you certainly shouldn’t buy it for the music.

While most are quick to poo-poo music critics and their opinions, the public’s perceptions of mgsical history are shaped by the tastes and biases of critics. A problem for rock ‘n’ roll fans is that modem music criticism is di;minated by thk AngIoAmerican axis, which contends that rock ‘n’ roll really only happened in America and England. This flies in the face of the innumerable great bands who sprang up in countries as diverse as Australia (The Easybeats, The Black Diamonds, The Missing Links), New Zealand (The La-Di-Da’s), Uruguay (LOS Mockers, Los Jockers), Sweden (The Thanes), our own filir country (The Ugly Ducklings, The ScaIIiwags, Les Sinners, The Haunted)

worthless lifestyle, an ad for impotent “rebellion.” When Macbeth said “fuf; of sound and fury, signifying nothing” he *could have been describing 99 per cent of our so called popular “culture”. So combine elements of pagan folk art and socialist realism, tack Wagner onto slowed down Eurodisco, put your fist in the air, chant along with Milan Froese and you’ve forged the link between North European atavism and our spiritually bankrupt post-industrial epoch. The true “modem primitivism” will be found here, in Laibach’s OU~P, not in some .tattoo parlour or the pages of EA’. Laibach are playing it both ways: art as state socialist propaganda is mixed with comic opera Aryan gestures. The apparatus of statist repression is applauded in the mock heroics of the Ubermmch. Laibach are merely double agents in the information war. As Dr. Infinity once said, a civilization is judged on its myths and legends. wily the fearless will be remembered because it is only they who will create anything of any

You wonder these days if any kind of collaboration album is going to be Worth the vinyl it’s on. But no, there are some real musicians stiff alive! John Lee Hooker is a legend about which so much is written his status is already a given. But would he compromise years of preaching the blues by recording a quick, pop record? Never! This is an oasis for music lovers that really want to get down in the contemporary desert of disposable music. Forget Dirty Dancing. forget Lambada, Hooker’s authentic grooves provide enough sexual energy to make even white people dance hip. And he doesn’t do it alone. The first side features charts with Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray, Canned Heat and L.os Lobes. They range in style from the scintillating Latin infused title track, The He&r, (with Carfos Santana on guitar giving blues yet another facet of expression) to the sizzling Cu@itl’ Our, with Canned Heat that is what dance mu+ is all about. It& the kind of music that makes you lwant to get up and move, grab yout woman and . . . if you can’t figure the rest out go back to your TechnotroniF, ‘cuz baby, you ain’t got no soull The flip side, however, is a the real trea$ure of this album. It is infinitely diffikuft these days to get hold of decent recordings of real rural blues, but here is Hooker with the best. Both George Thorogood (And thank God he poesn’t sing on this one), and Charlie Musselwhite join in the pain that’is this man’s blues. The music on this album is piercing, electric, rejuvenating and divine, but most importantly it is something that has alf but disappeared from today’s music: sincere. When Hooker sings of his various feelings you feel them too. It’s as simple +as’that. Can you say that about Milli Vanilfi, Roxette or Soul II Soul and keep a straight face? .

Amy delivers a raw, inspired rendition of one track from last year’s LP, “Land of Canaan,” this time without drums. “Crazy Game” and “Make it Easier” deliver the same playful power, but ballads iike “Hey Jesus,” “Left Me a Fool,” and “You Left it Up to Me” provide the emotional greatness of this album. In “Hey Jesus,” EmiIy wonders “how come I gotta die to get a chance to talk to you face to face?” And her great lyrics are in “Make It Easier”: “1 got a chip on my shoulder about the size of a mental block, I’ve got someone on the telephone trying to self me a future in stock.” For those of you who own and enioy the Indigo Girls’ 1989 LP, this is a m&t-purchase.

should not be on any one particular contaminant, but exposure in general of everything across the environmental spectrum.
Water contamination. Should you you be be concerned ? Should frightened? Is it time to stock up on bottled water or invest in that shiny new water purifier? These are some of the questions that are being asked in the nineties. The current attention on the Elmira situ ll tion has severely heightened our awareness of drinking water qualilty. Dr. Colin Mayfield, a UW biology professor, says that we must ask common sense questions to gain a balanced understanding of the problem. “There is a lot of concern about contamination in water because it is something that directly affects us, yet we have no control over it,” Mayfield replied when asked why people are up in arms when news of a toxic chem,ical is found in drinking water. “Look at the reaction concerning the coliforms in the water last year,” he said. For those who forgot, last winter term, everyone in the city was told not to drink tap water until the fecal coliform bacteria numbers returned from an exceedingly high level. One of the first questions that we may ask is, should we be concerned at all when the media reports to us that chemical X has exceeded proticial water quality standards by 0.01 or more parts per billion? The answer is not straight forward. These standards are based on toxicology data performed on animals in the laboratory. Consideration of uptake rates, metabolism, and a number of chemical and physiological parameters are evaluated. “It is very difficult to extrapolate a risk level for humans from lab results,” Mayfield cautions. The issue
For example, the Canadian Water Quality Guidelines, published by the Council of Resources and Environment Ministers, lists over 44 heavy ‘metals, 14 classes of man-made organic compounds with close to 60 specific examples, that water control plants must monitor for, when treating drinking water. This includes such things as calcium, which is essential to all biological organisms from mammalian bones to invertebrate shells, to any species of dioxins, a waste product from industrial production of fertilizers. The reality of course, individual compound, DMNA, will always reaction.
He also suggests that because most groundwater users live in rural areas, they have little political influence, to force governments to take a strong stand. Further, “government priorities that derive primarily from the media’s concept of what constitutes a groundwater problem,” does nothing to help efforts aimed at improving protection of this natural resource. The next question may be, in a case such as Elmira, has the provincial government performed its duties adequately?
is that one such as cause a
Mayfield says it is difficult at times for the Ministry of Environment to respond to a problem like this, taking into consideration risk assessment, because of lack of knowledgable individuals at all levels in the ministry, It is not a question of whether they are acting properly, but of acting faster.
If you have come to the conclusion that, yes, I’m concerned about my drinking water quality, that’s why I’m now drinking only bottled water, ask yourself, is it safe? Mayfield is not surprised by the trend toward bottled water, but he is not sure if this is the best solution. At present, there are no Canadian regulations concerning the water quality of bottled water. “For all we know, it may be groundwater,” muses Mayfield. Groundwater that may contain any number of trace compounds. Without guidelines, it is difficult to know where the water came from, or what is in it.

activated charcoal systems and filters is steadily increasing. But again, no one has done any extensive testing of the safety of such devices. What happens to these systems when the filters are not changed? what if they get pierced? “Will you be saving up all the bacteria for one glass of water?” he asks.

Asked whether the government should force Uniroyal to pay for the clean up, Mayfield says it may be premature. Even though the discharge of the company’s waste water contained elevated DMNA levels, that was then put into Elmira’s water pollution control system, indicates a good link, the compacy may not necessarily be the point source of contamination for the wells south of the town. This is because the chemical is not a waste product unique to Uniroyal’s production. He indicated that a company upstream of EImira could also be a source, and until tests on wells north of the town are completed, the jury is still out.

Warren Taylor, vice-president and general manager of Networks Systems, says that with university
involvement, research funding will play centre stage to keep the fledgling a competitive company. With all that was said, and done in the hours of seminars and labs, three important issues came up. The public must understand the role of universities, the university research has to move out of its vacuum, and the continued role of government in long term investment in basic and advanced research programs, speakers said.

Schwas vs* nature continued guidelines for their education, licensing and regulation. It is safe to say that midwives wish to support a pregnant woman’s physical and emotional needs, and her family’s, from before conception until several months (or years if necessary) after the birth. The preventative focus of midwifery includes nutrition, exercise, rest, emotional stress and lifestyle changes such as avoidance if alcohol. Many complications can be headed off in this manner. Midwives often have more knowledge and experience than the majority of gp’s and certainly all obstetricians, about normal birth, pregnancy, postnatal care and breastfeeding. By being involved for the entire cycle, being willing to attend the whole labour process (not solely the ultimate delivery of the baby) and having hours, not minutes of discussion with their clients, continuity and thus confidence is achieved. As well, midwives believe that it is the parent’s right to make intelligent, informed choices regarding the birth setting and atmosphere, and courses of action of complications arise. Today there is a tremendous imbalance in the care of pregnancy. Since Canadians are service-conscious consumers, they increasingly want information, choices and personalized attention. Once young couples are , aware of the midwifery option, most are unwilling to settle for less. Midwifery wiI1 never replace medical maternity care. The few high risk mothers need both modern obstetrical and midwifery care. Midwives need emergency medical backup. What Canadian women deserve is universal access to a choice of caregivers. Dr. Peter Whitby, K-W GP, and Elsie Cressman, a local midwife, both of whom deliver babies, wiI1 briefly give their opinions on “What role midwivesshould play in our health care system”, on March I4 at 12:30, in room 110 of the Campus Centre. An open discussion will follow, so join us with your opinions, questions, and comments.
Today there is a tremendous imbalance in the care of pregnancy. Canada is unique among industrialized nations, having an exclusively physician-oriented hospital birthing system. It has not always been so. Until the 19th century midwives were esteemed figures in most Canadian towns. Doctors took little or no interest in attending births. It is estimated that over 95 per cent of women are capable of delivering without surgery or the use of any technology. But once in a hospital, a woman has only a 50 to 60 per cent chance of delivering “normally.” Advanced medical technology, developed to protect a few high risk mothers, is increasingly applied to the normal birthing population, often creating high risk births. For example, the World Health Organization states that Caesarean rates should range from 10 to 15 per cent, yet Canadian hospitals have rates around 25 percent. It is highly likely that you, if you are female, or a woman with whom you have a close relationship, if you are male, will become pregnant sometime in the future. In today’s society, a pregnant women may consult a general practioner (GP), obstetrician, and/or midwife. In North America, few GPs are willing to deliver babies, due to the potential for lawsuits, the inconvenience and the need to maintain skills. Presently, the majority of pregnant women are under the care of &tetricians. These highly trained medical specialists, are trained to deal with abnormalities occurring in pregnancy and birth. As well, obstetricians work on a 9 to 5 schedule, greatly diminishing the chances of them actually being the doctor to ,deliver the baby. Midwives I view pregnancy and birth as normal healthy events in a woman’s life. Aside from this basic tenet, it is impossible to generalize about the education and beliefs of midwives. Presently they have no legal status in Ontario. There are no formal provisions or

He doesn’t know the truth of this statement, but used it to iIlustrate that contamination can be from many diffuse sources. Until all the facts are weighed, nothing is certain. The questions presented in this article are those that must be considered when a discussion of water qtiality is undertaken.

However, Cherry warns, “every year of inaction on ground water protection adds untold millions of dollars to future costs; costs that could be largely avoided with a little forethought.“’ Someone once said that water pollution forces the ordinary person to become a geologist, hydrologist, and physiochemist overnight. But we do not need to attend night school if we inform ourselves and maintain a balanced perspective.
