EngSoc bus push for charity by Terry Gauchat

6.5 km tow down King Street an easy

Imprintstaff

Last Saturday, March 17, the Engineering Society held their fourteenth annual bus push to raise money for KW Big Sisters. It was actually a bus pull, involving well .over 200 engineering students, Big Sisters, and Little Sisters. The sheer number of people pulling, the unseasonal weather, and the abundance of enthusiasm, loud turies and free pizza combined to make the

The bus push raised $6500 last year and the laden buckets of change collected Saturday morning indicate similar results this year. Bus Push Chairman, Scott Rose, and Engineering B-Society President, Jorge Serrador, insisted that “the Bus Push is not just an‘engineering event - it’s a university event. Lf anybody wants to come and get pledge sheets and help pull the bus, there’s no problem at all. We’d Iove to see representatives from every faculty out here.”

Serrador feels that the good even& run by EngSoc must be emphasized, “If people want to dwell on minor points, they’re really being shallow. The fact of the matter is, we just went out there and dragged a bus from here to downtown Kitchener and we just raised probably $7000 for , charity.” En$hc made a great effort to publicize%heir virtues in a special ’ press kit. It included recent copies of the Imn Wambr (to dispel notions that the spirit of the ill-fated Enginaos still exists;) letters of support from Dr. Wright, Dean Lennox, and G-I-I a discussion about the speers; Waterloo Engineering Endowment and Voluntary Student Contribution fee; a list of EngSoc provided student services; and .a description of the Pathmakers and Science Day events being conducted to encourage female high schoql students to enter

OFS protests cuts by Judy Hollands Imprint staff Students protesting a 15 per cent tuition hike and transfer payment reductions marched up Yonge Street to the headquarters of the Ministry of and Universities last Colleges Thursday. Metro Police escorted the 800 noisy protestors who disrupted midday traffic on the busy Toronto thoroughfare. The protest gathered at 1:OO pm at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, where Ontario Federation of Students organizers provided protest placards and OFS field organizer, Mike Akpata the OFS campaign coordinator, stirred the crowd to a noisy pitch. Brandishing a sign telling Minister Conway to “eat my shorts,” Akpata told the crowd “They say cutback, we say fight back,”

Canadian Federation of Students chairperson. Representing 400,000 university students from across Canada, Arnold said, “I bring their support to you in your fight today.” She said that education is a right and not a privilege, and that we must continue to fight this tuition increase. Water160 students recently voted to join the CFS, and when asked how the organization was combating tuition hikes Arnold responded, ‘We deal with the Federal government on the issue of transfer payments. It is our goal to have students across Canada organize at ail levels.” When asked if she was pleased with the turn-out for the rally, Arnold commented that it was much better media coverage than the protest held in Ottawa last November. That rally

Liberal Ministers snubbed demonstrators from across Ontario campuses After several speeches meant to excite the crowd, the protest wound its way up Yonge Street and across Wellesley to the ministry building where several speakers -addressed the crowd. Neither the minister nor any of his important aides came out to address the crowd, reportedly because it was March break and most of the staff were on holidays with their children.

New Democratic MPP Richard Johnson also addressed the crowd, congratulating student organizers on the turnout. He comment&d that tuition increases like this one would be expected from a Conservative minister like Betty Stevenson, but the current so-called “Liberal reformers” were “playing games with access to higher education.” r OFS chairperson, Edith Gameau said the tuition fee increase was unacceptabIy high and that we all share the common problem. The OFS will continue to battle fee increase in an effort to make post-secondary education accessible to all. After the speeches, Mike Akpata showed the crowd a huge petition on which students were invited to write their thoughts on underfunding. Ryerson alone wrote 350 feet of comments, including ‘hly pen is running out and I can’t afford to buy a new one,” and ‘We are the future, at least give us a chance.”

was held on the same week that the Berlin Wall came down and a first ministers conference was underway. The student protest did not even make the local cable station.

As the protest wound down, the protest placards were left in the trees outside the minister of education’s office building. Among other things. the signs asked, “What about my deficit?” and “Hey buddy can you spare $1,822?“.

Imprint, Friday, March 23, 1990

Imprint standards? A newspaper produced by a primarily volunteer staff must be flexible to the varied interests of its contributors. Over the past year many controversial issues have enriched the pages of Imprint - a campus newspaper and, as such, a forum for views outside mainstream media. But does being flexible to a variety of writers mean we should run whatever staff writes? Is deciding to exclude an article necessarily censorship, or is it a wise editorial decision? Last week Imprint ran an interview with Erica Boyer, a porn star. Some staff members strongly disapproved of running the interview, considering it inappropriate and, quite simply, bad journalism. Poqography is certainly an appropriate topic of discussion and an interview with a pornographer is an innovative approach. However, “Porn Star Erica Boyer 1 exposed” was an offensive article and should not have bqen run in Imprint. The interview is in the arts sectiqn and its tone is light - the piece & meant to entertain. But for many people pornography is not an entertaining subject. The author, J. Hagey, does not once ask Erica Boyer how she this her industry affects society, nor does he ask her if she thinks her job contributes to violence against women. If someone interviewed a hate literature writer and d&l not ask them how their work affected society, I doubt Imp&t Fould%vn the interview strictly for its entertainment value.

The questionable nature of this topic combined with the author’s ’ poor approach force us as Imprint staff to disassociate ourselves from it. We want readers to recognize that though ” Imprint”asked the questions and made explicitly sexist comments during the interview (such as “There may be a revolution when the women on campy read this,“) these were the views and questions of the two 6 Imprint staff members who conducted the interview. ! llr During our weekly staffmeeting we asked questions that you may have asked as well.

But we should not do this by spbon-feeding people &hat we consider our own unique version llof the “truth.” This would simply be selfrighteous crusading. Truth must be chosen freely - that is what gives it value. The best that Imprint can do is to provide us with many differing ideas, several of which will necessarily collide. This is good..lt challenges our progressive intellects and asks us to form opinions. Yes, in short, students are made to think for themselves: listen to all - accept some - deny the rest - move on with your life. We are not children. We should not pretehd that “‘bad things”do not happen. Prostitution, pornography, racism: surprise! these-things exist. We shouldn’t form our opinions based a single oint of view. If Imprint allows feminists to claim that pornography lea cfs to violence against (some) women, we should also*be able to print that (some) women can profit from the industry. We should not have to homogenize our information. Oppsing sides can both be valid. tn fact, that’s the way it is in the real world. Surprise again! Hopefully, my peers and I are sufficiently mature and intelligent that we don’t need +beprc#ected from all the “sorrow and evil”around u’s. We read the newspaper not just to e entertained btit also, more importantly, to be informed. Sometimes, the @formation is hard to swallow: this should be a warning that we don’t have the final, unassailable answer. Everyone would advocate that hp&t have editorial standards. But some would advocate that llrnprint also have self-censorship. The lirst is often used to support. the second. This is rhetorical extortion. I would enthu+astically debate anyone who feels that Imprint should promote one viewpoint while muting another - no matter their respective top& or perq~nal biases. Take again the example of feminism versus por“nography. On campus, it’s safe to support feminism because you will be part of a majority (accepti& of course that we can accept feminism as a homogeneous set of beliefs), but try the same with pornography and you’ll bq hounded by special interest committees. * “‘However, because people believe in each of them, they necessarily both have legitimacy, and should be given equal forum. In a democracy, if you g&t the right of free speech to one person, then you must honour it for Meryone, even if their view contradicts your own - and even if it pisses you off! Imprint does not expect that everything it prints will appeal to everyone at any given time; it doesn’t try to do the impossible. lf we did, we couldn’t continue: we would have to scrutinize every article and advertisement so stringently that we c&.d never put out a paper. Like any other organization, Imprint is @fed by people of differing viewpoints. But because we share a common role as independent iournalisk to be tolerant of people’s dkordant biases and. bpinicks, we should rise abdve squabbling over i&at to print and what to cut - and run the whole damn shooting match! If you don? like something you read; be grateful you even had the chance to read it, then draft ybur own reply, and be grateful you can do that as well . . Free speech is essential to free life.

In the Imprintarticle “WLU fans outstay their-welcome,” Peter Brown painted an unflattering portrait of some of the WLU hockey fans. I would Iike to add my comments to his portrayal. On Saturday, I was in the’crowd of the CIAU championship game between Laurier Moncton. and Naturally, there was a disproportionate number of Laurier fans in attendance, one particular section of whom were very vocal in their support of the Hawks. To their credit, this loyal group maintained their decibel level throughout the tight game, attempting to intensify their team’s attack. Their enthusiasm, however great, couldn’t spur the Hawks past the more imaginative Moncton team who prevailed in the end. Shortly after the final buzzer, while the appreciative fans were cheering

Moncton’s victory and applauding both teams for an exciting match, the WLU fans began what I thought were their final chants. I assumed this was their way of thanking the Hawks for a great season. At some point, I must have also assumed that these fans had class, for I was surprised when after a brief silence they started chanting again, at the very moment that Moncton’s captain was accepting the championship trophy. In one inane display, these knobs showed their true colours, managing to insult the other fans, show disrespect to the winning team, and ironically, embarrass the players they were there to support. Talk about outstaying your welcome. Even the highly partisan Montreal Canadiens fans gave the Calgary Flames a standing ovation when they won the Stanley Cup over the Habs. At the forum, no less. I do not mean to imply that I hate all burier hockey <fans. I just hate all stupid Laurier hockey fans.

/ Disappointed )

The root of the problems that gave rise to these definitions is the inability to recognize the notion of difference as a dynamic human force, one which is enriching rather than threatening to the defined self, when there are shared goals. (Definitions and root cause taken from Audre Lorde’s Stier Outhkr, The Crossing Press, 1984) A cure for the human inununodeficiency virus ,- AIDS - is a shared ’ goal of all humanity, but left up to the individuals who test HIV positive and their companions to deal with in our society where heterosex@m and homophobia still abound. Unlike our society’s appropriate response to cancer patients - one of nurture, assistance and financial commitment AIDS “victims” are treated as social outcasti without the nurturing and assistance appropriately given to others with diseases that are similarly long drawn out, often demobilizing, for which there pmently exist no cures. While a cure for cancer ranks high for funding both publicly and privately, funding for the discovery of AIDS treatment and cure are not given the high priority needed to save lives. AIDS education, sometimes focusing on safe sex methods and accessibility of latex condoms, is often taken up by conservative groups out of a fear of open sexuality rather than from a sincere concern for the spread of the disease. Thus the slant &anges to the unrealistic discouragement of sexuaI relations entirely. Campaigns which still predict exorbitant numbers of AIDS patients do not acknowledge the huge strides made by gay communities in major cities to practice safe sex methods which have greatly curtailed the earlier epidemic predictions. However, patients who have developed AIDS need support &td treatment. In K-W alone 59 people have tested HIV positive and 13 have developed AIDS, 6 of whom are still living with the disease, In Toronto, 905 people have developed AIDS, of whom 269 people are now living with the diiase (ACCKWA). By September of 1989, more Americans had already died of AIDS-related causes than the 58,000 that died in Vietnam (Rolling Stone magazine, issue 573). While drugs do exist for the treatment of AIDS symptoms, major pharmaceutical companies have taken advantage of the desperate patients’ willingness to pay large sums of money for treatments. Thus, the drugs are inaccessible to most AIDS patients. Another related problem is the unwillingness of some major pharmaceutical companies to release AIDS drugs and the bureaucratic government testing guidelines which also restrict the release of drugs that have not gone through the full span of trial cases. While the early release of drugs has many risks, the alternative of patients dying of AIDS makes for a complicated debate. Several grass roots groups have formed to address the issues of homophobia, AIDS education and safe sex awareness, community action, and AIDS drug testing and manufacturing. Locally, ACCKWA (the AIDS Committee of Cambridge, Kitchener-Waterloo Area) exists to mobie our community to respond effectively and with compassion through education, advocacy, and support to individuals infected or affected by HIV. Their directive is to provide public education and to give support to people living with AIDS, Volunteers can be trained to work as buddies on a one-to-one basis with people with AIDS @‘WAS), to provide practical care to PWAs, to assist ACCKWA with office duties, a newsletter and special events (Contact: 741-8300) In Toronto, the group ACT (AIDS Committee of Toronto) is Ontario’s largest non-profit AIDS organization in operation since 1983. ACT services include a buddy system, self-help support groups for PWAs, housing legal clinic, women and aids project, deaf outiach project, memorial services and vigils, community Liaison and advocacy, and a resource centre (Contack (416) 926- 0063).

To the editor, I am writing to express my disappointment with Imprint’s lack of coverage of our Dance-A-Than. The Sigma Chi Fraternity has held this charity fundraiser annually for the last five years and continues to get no support from Imprint. It is beyond comprehension that Imprint could somehow be unaware of the event as this year Imprint was twice given press releases prior to the event. Furthermore, I6 hours of loud music and dancing right outside Imprint doors could have jarred someone’s memory. Dance-A-Thon V raised approximately $2500 for Big Brothers of Kitchener-Waterloo this year and has had similar success in the past. coverage in Imprint could help make Dance-A-Thokiores;ccessful in the future improve support given to unfortunate children while boosting the image of UW and students in general. While we were pleased with the coverage given to us by CKCO TV and the Waterloo Chronicle, we

remain somewhat baffled thatthe student newspa er did not see fit to report our efr orts. Members of Sigma Chi held 7 of the 22 positions of Student CounciIlor on the Federation of Students. This year Homecoming was run by a Sigma Chi, Mike Wolfe. Winterfest was run by a pledge of Sigma Chi, Dave Beaulieu. Last year Winterfest was run by a Sigma Chi, John Watt. Among us are several village dons and a past Federation of Students Vice-President, Mark McKay. It is obvious that the members of Sigma Chi are disproportionately active on campus and have made a significant contribution to the image of UW and campus life in general. The Cord, Laurier’s paper, gave praise and support to that University’s fraternity and sorority in a Nov 23,1989 article. Is it unreasonable to expect unbiased coverage 6f the activities and accomplishments of Waterloo’s Greek letter organizations? Craig tiot Resident, Sigma Ch.i

I &II a Christian who would like to respond to Dave Thomson’s challenge of March 9 to rationally explain Christianity without resorting to emotional ar@xments or quoting scripture. Why do people believe in God? There are many bad reasons. I have talked with hundreds of religious people, and agree wholeheartedly with Dave Thomson’s analysis. The vast majority of them seem to base their beliefs on unsound reasoning. Tradition, fear, enthusiasm, or emotional needs or desires of any sort are p&r causes to trust something. Anyone whose faith is based, even in part, on these reasons, has forfeited the right of rational thought to someone else, and is very likely to fall prey to false ideas. Previous 1et-k~ have argued, basically, that the BibIe is old, and that lot6 of people l&eve in it, therefore it is true, and that nature is complicated, and that God is an easy explanation for its order, therefore he exists. These arguments reduce to tradition, and emotional need. One letter even evaded the issue by asking not to be asked such hard questions. v What conclusive, external evidence is there that such a being as God really exists, in the same sense

and with the same reality that you and I exist? Absolutely NONE. To be fair, arguments against the existence of God have merely demonstrated that Godcannotbeacertaintypeofbeing, but othem fail miserably. What reason do I present for believing in God? My personal conviction alane. This is, of course, no reason for anyone else to believe in God. God respects the privilege of free choice he has given us, and wiU do nothing to take that away. If you want proof of his existence, first seriously consider the possibility that he may indeed exist. Then investigate what people say about hii, and who he is. If those people are telling the truth they wiIl also show you how you can find out for yours&. If you really want to use your free choice to find outifthereisaGod,andarewUingto followupontheresult,hewiIIartswer you pmmauy. I know God exists, and have perSoti evidence of him as conclusive as the evidence I have of the existence of my own mother. I’lI gladly share what I’ve found with anyone who is seriously interested. siicm aft 2B Math

Do what you’re saying To the editor, Why is it that what people say and what people do seem to have little in common? Everyone likes to talk of the environment, so I will illustrate accordingly. Our society is not short of rhetoric when it comes to this issue, but progress seems to be proceeding at the same rate as the Wednesday night Bombshelter line-up. A few questions may shed some light How many of those people who blame corporations, politicians and the U.S.A.or our acid rain problem, still drive to school instead of making a 20 minute walk? How many of those who talk of garbage problems generated by our “throw-away” society still accept new plastic or paper bags while shopping, instead of reusing old ones or using a knapsack? How many people who express ethical or nutritional concern over the deplorable factory farming techniques used in our agricultural community still buy meat and eggs from the supermarket? There are nonvegetarian alternatives. Are these people concerned about the environment? Or is it that they would like to be concerned? After all, it certainly is in vogue to talk about the environment. It’s even more in vogue to blame politicians for being all talk and no action. Lack of governmental action does indeed make positive change very difficult to effect, but I would suggest thatsome folk look within for inconsistencies before pointing fingers at others. Often I hear descriptions of such people as those whose behaviours do not reflect their beliefs. I would argue that in fact their behaviours do reflect their true beliefs. Is wmeone who complains about our “toxic soup” Great Lakes, but who still uses standard toxic household cleaners mu& concerned? Granted that some inconsistencies arise from lack of awareness of certain interconections (not all realize that toxins that go down the sink ultimately end up in the Great Lakes), and certainly there will be a time lag between awareness and behaviour modification. But how long should we wait before changing our behaviours? Should we hold off until the politicians pass laws that forbid certain household cleaners, while we criticize them for stalling in the meantime? What will the next fad be? Maybe it will become in vogue to make sport of tree-huggers and the like. Or possible it will become trendy to actually do something about the environment.

New security force on campus

Students by Stay Lobin imprint staff The University Student Escort Team, sponsored by the Federation of Students, is a service for people who feel uncomfortable walking alone on campus after dark. Kim Speers, VIVA-elect, organized the service while she was safety commissioner for the Women’s Issues Board. “I noticed in the files that there were various attempts to initiate a volunteer walk home program, but for a variety of reasons, this type of service could not get off the ground. A walk home is needed because people are afraid to walk alone on campus during the evening hours. Everyone should be able to do this and the University Student Escort Team guarantees this right.”

Tell the dispatcher where you are and where you would like to go; there will be a team to pick you up shortly.” The service is being run on a trial basis currently. There will be an evaluation of the service in April and at the end of August ,to see if it is worthwhile; if it is, the escort teams will be outfitted with uniforms and permanent posters will be put up around campus.

The escort team maintains tw* way radio contact with a campus police dispatcher. Speers has received many inquiries into the quaiiitions of the students hired for the program.

To the editor, I would like to clear up a few misinterpretations of points in my letter entitled “Iran: clearing up confusion,” in last week’s Imprint. 1. I did not want to offend Arabic countries by any means, I was trying to explain that historically the origin of Iranian culture is not Arabic. 2. According to our Islamic thoughts, all mankind have equal rights, In parGc&r, !&&ems are brothers and sisters regardless of their background and nationally. 3. In my letter, I did not want to segregate Iranian civilization from other countries. In particular, Iranians have shared a tremendous amount of knowledge with Islamic scholars in the course of time. I hope all the stereotypes regarding different countries including Arabs would disappear and that we would give ample credit to Islamic scholars from all Moslem countries.

Dave Readman continued from page 3 flooded with products to recycle, but there hasn’t been the same demand for products that have been recycled, d Readman says. At the start of the year, most departments said they couldn’t “afford the frill” of the higher-priced recycled products. Now many departments, including Graphic Services, used recycled paper, and Readman feels this is partly due to his efforts. The administration has also struck a task force on waste management, which will look at campus recycling. “The staff association also played a big part in that,” Readman says.

Regrets Student Life Building delay His biggest disappointment was the postponement of the Student Life Building referendum. Readman states, quite emphatically, that the building is badly needed. “The idea was there, but we really worked on it, to sell it to the students, to raise financing. When we came in, the questionnaire but not a lot else was done.” The outgoing executive had hoped to hold a referendum at the end of the term, but has been postponed titil at least next October. On accomplishments, Readman credits the warm, co-operative relationship among the three Federation cronies for much of their success. “‘It’s a mutual admiration club,” Readman said, smiling. To incoming president John Vellinga, Readman has some advice: “Delegate as much as you can, go out to as many student activities as vou can, and Ge prepared to go to &ybodv in the administration with vour co&ems, especially, if things &en2 moving as quickly as you’d like them ( to.“ Along that line, this year’s executive tried to promote the Federation as much as possible. “Anything and everything we did we tried to put the Fed name on it,” Readman says. In the near future, Readman plans to go to Australia and relax a bit. As well, he may one day be brushing shoulders with predecessors Adam Chamberlain and Ted Carlton - at law school.

Tim Collins .F continued from

-~ In the late 1970 s French scientist Etienne-Emile Baulieu discovered a drug. given the code name RU 486, thathas the potential to be used in the treatment of cancer, glaucoma, or AIDS. However, there has been little research into these possible uses because of the controversy surrounding another application of the drug - early termination of pregnancy. RU 486 is currently being used for abortions in France but is not available anywhere else in the world. This column will not discuss the moral arguments for and against the drug but will rather discuss how it works, how it is being administered in France, and some consequences of its development. During the female reproductive cycle a lining develops on the wall of the uterus that a fertilized egg can attach to. If an egg does become implanted in the uterus, the level of the progesterone hormone remains high to maintain this lining. RU 486 blocks the transmission (not production) of progesterone and this results in the uterine lining breaking down. In France the drug is only given to women who have had a positive pregnancy test and who are less than 7 weeks pregnant. In addition, there is an eight-day ‘thinking’ period between the time a woman requests the drug and the time it is administered. When the drug is used to terminate a pregnancy, three pills containing RU 486 are taken at one time. Two days later, a woman is given a small amount of prostaglandin that assists in expelling the contents of the womb.

There is a follow-up checkup to ensure that the pregnancy has actually been terminated. If it hasn’t, a surgical abortion is performed. The effectiveness rate of this procedure has been found to be about 95%. Using RU 486 with prostaglandin is by no means a painless ‘do-ityourself’method of abortion. This method can be more painful than a surgical abortion would be and bleeding can last for as long as 12 days. The major distinction between the use of RU 486 and surgical abortion is that, 95% of the time, a woman does not have to visit a hospital or clinic to have an abortion. In France, approximately 30,000 women have chosen RU 486 since it was introduced in late 1988. It is not available in other countries, partiy due to moral objections in some countries and partly because the manufacturer (Roussel-Uclaf) is very hesitant to distribute it widely. Roussel-U&f is very concerned about the possibility of a black market developing for RU 486 pills. Ef the drug was readily available in one country, there would be people who would profit from selling it in countries where abortions were illegal or difficult to obtain. The existence of a black market would increase the likelihood of RU 486 being misused (e.g. in the late stages of pregnancy) and this would affect the reptitation of the drug and the company producing it. The controversy over RU 486 at the moment is between people who are opposed to it on moral grounds, people who believe it is the right of women to have access to it and doctors or scientists who would like to research its potential medical applications.

In short, they wanted to reinforce an “open-door” policy to give any student a chance to talk to them directly. Collin’s overall philosophy has been to “develop a strong spirit at UW through Homecoming, Winterfest, and similar events.” He mentioned the Beijing protest, which was organized under very short notice during last summer’s t&n. He said he was “deeply moved to see 1000 students caring enough and breaking down the notion of apathy on our campus.” For all of his satisfaction as VPOF, CoIlins future plans do not rmoIve around politics.

Free play! by Al Wadley An important step in alleviating serious problems such as sexual harassment is to educate people abut the problem and what can be done about it. However, finding an effective way of communicating this information is often very difficult. One way of meeting this challenge is to provide the information in an interesting manner. This is exactly what will be done next week when the Twin Cities Theatre Company presents Power&v - a play about sexual harassment in the workplace. Denise Angove, the University’s Sexual Harassment Officer, commissioned the play to replace the sexual harassment forums that had been held in the past. Attendance at last November’s forum was very poor and she realized that a new approach was needed. Although Angove has not received a lot of formal complaints about sexual harassment on work term jobs, she knows from word of mouth that it is a problem. The decision to use Powerplay to inform students about sexual harassment was based on the very positive reaction to the Twin Cities Theatre production Single and Sexy last September. Singie and Smy provided information about relationships and safe sex in an entertaining manner that was neither judgmental nor offensive.

Breakim the law before the law breaks you

Although Powerplay was written primarily for co-op students, it is also relevant for faculty and staff as well as students who wilI be working this summer. The play consists of four interwoven vignettes about work situations in which students encounter harassment. The play shows that sexual harassment involves more than threats about losing one’s job or actual physical contact. In addition, students who have been harassed should talk about it and realize that they shouldn’t feel guilty - it wasn’t their fault. Although sexual harassment is a very serious problem, Powerpiay prt, mises to be an entertaining play in which the cast display their talent for comedy in the process of providing information about harassment. The facilitator for the collective is -Anita McFarlane and the cast consists of UW student Kelly Wilson and alumni James Calnan, Wendy Fan-ant and Chris Katowski. McFarlane, Farrant and Katowski were also in Single and Sexy. There are’ two performances of Powepluy: Monday, March 26th at 7pm and Tuesday, March 27 at 1230 pm. Both shows are at the Theatre of the Arts in the Modem Languages Building. Admission is free thanks to the sponso&ip of the Federation of Students, the Dean of Students, the Sexual Harassment O&e and the Department of Civil Engineering.

So if ymhe into those late nights at the library, the van can accomodate you on the extended runs - Keatsway to Sunnydale at 1:40, and Sunnydale to Keatsway at 2:20.

The defendants were arrested April 7,1989 for blocking the road in front of Department of National Defence Headquarters (DND) in Ottawa. They had been participating in a demonstration organized by the Alliance for Non-Violent Action (ANNA) to resist DND’s low-level military flight testing in Nitassinan, the Innu homeland located in the Labrador-Quebec region,

After taking an hour to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the demonstrators had blocked traffic for eleven minutes - even in light of the defendants’ admitted involvem&t in the event - the crown prosecutor summarized his case claiming the blockade had created a grave hazard based on the chance &at there might have been an ambulance needing a clear road that day.

OF WATERLOO

SENATE BY-ELECTION

In their defence, the resisters called upon three of the co-accused as witnesses, refusing to use a lawyer. The firstwitness, Lyn St. Cyr, is a Montreal woman who had participated in the blockade while piegnan’t in support of a pregnant Innu woman arrested and jailed for her non-violent occupation of a Goose Bay, Labrador military runway. She spoke of the effects of low-level military flights on the Innu and their traditional hunter-gatherer culture. St. Cyr cited the numerous condemnations of the military activity by such groups as the UN affiliated International Federation for Human Rights and mentioned the various studies linking the noise of the flights to long term human illnesses. St. Cyr blamed the military for “a slow death of (Innu) culture, their lifestyle . . . a cultural genocide.” The second witness to testify, Robin Kobryn of Toronto, told the court how the land used by DND for

military testing remains Innu land: never have the Innu ceded any parts of Nitassinan to Canada by treaty or agreement, he noted. Kobryn spoke of the motivation behind his actions and of the justification for his use of civil disobedience: “The Innu themselves refer to the rape of their land, the rape of their culture . . - at some level as human beings we have to listen to these people , . . at some point ordinary peopIe can take a moral position on this issue.” Kobryn, noting that Innu resistance to the militarization of their,. homeland had brought the issue before the national conscience, argued that “resistance to the invasion of Nitassinan from within the invading society” is justified since the government is “doing it in our name, with our tax dollars, with our obedience.” The crown, cross-examining Kobryn, asked him if he did not think that his actions”created a hazard which is

crime a serious one,” once again bringing up the hypothetical case of the ambulance. The defendant replied that the real hazard is the situation that DND has created for the Innu: “there is an emergency situation.” Kobryn then quoted Martin Luther King on the necessity of training a group of ambulance drivers to run the red lights of the system in order to save the world’s bleeding victims. Having had the ambulance situation forced back on him, the crown quickly brought his cross-examination to a. close. As Kobryn reiterated, “the question is, ‘can non-violent action by ordinary citzens limit or constrain state violence?“’ The judge, Ms. Linhares dasousa, gave a brief answer: “Based on the evidence I have heard today.. . I have no difficulty in finding the accused before the court guilty as charged.” Da Sousa imposed fines of $300 or ten days in jail on first offenders while requiring those who had previous records to return to Ottawa April 20 for sentencing, requesting f&r of them to prepare pre-sentencing reports. Speaking to sentence, one defendant, Matthew Behrens of Toronto, lectured the judge on the irony of her decision, point&g to the non$iolent struggle of which she is a benefactdr: “100 years ago it was considered irresponsible for women to block traffit because they did not have the right to vote.”

Protesters refuse to 1pay fines Kobryn, aIso speaking to sentence, explained a sentiment commoti with most of the defendants: ‘We’re here to take responsibility for our actions, and we%e doing that. To pay money to you foi doing what was right. . . is an admission of guilt.” On April 4,1990, ten young offenders face trial on mischief charges for participation in an ANVA blockade of DND last November 14. The 110 adults, including 11 from KitchenerWaterloo, arrested in that Innu solidarity action face trial September 14, 1990.

ative view of funding for education

Former by Stephen Fischer

Imprintstaff

Tom Kent blasted both government and university administrations for their “short-sighted view” of education in a talk to a small group at Hagey Hall last week. Kent, a former adviser to Prime Minister L&er B. Pearson, talked about his experiences with federal funding for universities.

Government should be “financing students” The Oxford-educated former editor of the Winnipeg Free Press was a major player at the Kingston Conference of 1963 where the policy proposals that would underscore the Pearson agenda for the 1960s were developed. Kent advocated then and still does that “government should not directly fund universities,” rather the federal government should be “financing students, not institutions.” Kent bemoans our present system whereby university administrations receive millions of dollars in grants while some students are unable to attend higher education because of economic hardship. Kent subscribes to the liberal notion of equality of

PM adviser.

on education

opportunity; he feels that any student who meets academic requirements should be supported, if necessary, by governm+. Funding administrations instead, he argues, is ‘a perverse kind of subsidy.“ The strategy that Kent adopted in the 1960s suggested directly supporting students in the form of loans much more significant than present student loans. It would be paid back in installments after graduation by all except the very poor. Although the Pearson government did not initiate Kent’s proposals, more money was allocated for the expansion and improvement of university facilities. In the late 1960s and 197Os, Canadian universities were relatively rich.

It was not until 1977 that government cutbac& began to seriously erode the ability of universities to upgrade facilities, Kent said.

Blames Trudeau and Mulroney Many universities did not anticipate the Trudeau government’s actions and were caught with large mortgages and other debts outstanding at a time of high interest rates.

Tom Kent photo by Naomi Snieckus

The Trudeau cuts in transfer payments to the provinces earmarked for education resulted in what Kent ridicules I’one of the most

horrible pieces of legislation ever inflicted on the Canadian people.” Ironically, Liberal leadership candidate Jean Chretien, who claims to supportincreases in university funding, was a part of the Trudeau government which began dismantling federal support for higher education. Although Kent did not explicitly discuss the Mulroney government’s cuts to university funding, his contempt for the present government was obvious. Tom Kent is currently a fellow at the Ottawa-based Institute for Research on Public Policy. He has just released his latest book, G&jlg Rmdv for 1999, where he offers suggestions for future public policy.

Economic forecast 1990-9 1 by Stephen Fischer Imprint staff The. eleventh annual economic forecasting seminar was held on campus last Tuesday. Sponsored by the University of Waterloo and the Society of Management Accountants, this year’s panel consisted of Wood Gundy chief economist John Grant, J. Alex Murray, dean of the school of business and economics at WLU and mes Brox, associate professor of J? economics at UW. John Grant, known in some quarters as the “dean of economic forecasters in Canada,” predicted lower interest rates and higher unemployment culminating in a mild recession this year. He suspects that the “worldwide fraternity of central bankers,” including our own, will force inflation to new lows which Grant predicts will mean a Canadian dollar below 79 cents before the end of 1991. J. Alex Murray of WLU concentrated his research on the Waterloo region. He finds support from local business for free trade, but serious reservations about the proposed GST. Graduating students who would like to work in the region received little encouragentent from Dean Murray’s comments. His SWvey concluded that the local business community is “not as optimistic as last year.” James Brox of UW believes “things are going to get a lot worse before they get better+” He believes that Bank of Canada Governor Crow will keep interest rates high to halt any slide in the value of the Canadian dollar. This would keep inflation low but may bring “a sharp recession at some point during the year.” The conference on campus was attended by a crowd of almost one hundred, made up of students and members of the business community. - .-. --_. - -...

The speakers included UW Biology faculty members, Dr. Bruce Greenberg and Dr, Wayne Hawthorn, University of Guelph biologist, Dr. Jack Trevors, and from the UW Centre for Society, Technology and Values, Dr. Daryl Pullman, a philosopher. Trevors and Greenberg presented some current applications of biotechnology to agriculture, while Hawthorn and Pullman spoke on the ecological and social impacts, respectively, of this issue. Biotechnology is a modern branch of science that has its origins in genetics, cell biology, microbiology, and biochemistry. The term is generally ascribed to the use of enzymology and molecular biology to manipulate DNA, the hereditary material of all cells, in such a way as to produce living organisms capable of improving all aspects of human life, from agriculture, pollution clean-up, to medicine. The first speaker was Dr. Trevors, a microbiologist. He commented that seven to eight years ago, the media was full of concern over the possible release of genetically engineered organisms into the environment and their unknown interactions. “These concerns may not be as important now, but the dispersal of these altered microorganisms to undesired areas may be a problem,” he noted. Trevors cited the advantageous use of these modified organisms in pollution control, bacterial fertilizers, oil recovery, and mineral extraction. The major ok&nxtion in making this technology more widespread is the lack of knowledge regarding the fate and bioengineered effects of organisms in the environment. He listed some of the concerns inherent to this field. They included ignorance about persistence in the environment, reproductive rates of the organisms, rates of gene transfer, transportation from the introduction site, and ecosystem effects. Setting up and interpreting field tests of this technology, are generally dependent on cost, extrapolation from the lab to the real world, and difficulties of measurement. Since these organisms are microscopic, you cannot see them, and they disperse very rapidly. As an example, he talked about a field release test in Holland where scientists were monitoring the release of il strain into a sample of canal water. This was a useful iliustration of how a microbe that can thrive in a petri dish can be outcompeted and excluded from the food chain when placed in the na)ural world. Dr. Greenberg, a plant molecular biologist, outlined the use of biotechnology in plant and abticultural research. He described scme of the methods involved in

affect evolutionary processes. It is the phenotype that is selected in natural selection not the genetic make-up. The genes that may provide a superior fitness do not necessarily determine if it will get passed on to the next generation. There is the possibility of something eIse sneaking in we don’t know about.” In other words, a harmful genetic trait can be passed on with out some means of detecting it, thus underscoring the lack of data concerning genetic interactions. “The idea behind making the bacterium less fit is to throw in some genetic baggage so as to make it lose out in the game, but there will always be exceptions.” Hawthorn

The

genetically-engineered strain showed no drop in fitness compared to the wild-type strain. Basically, mutations can undermine all the safety checks. “We have incomplete knowledge of crop plants and their wild relatives, mainly because we don’t know the natural distribution of the wild-types. We need to track things like pollination vectors to the wild relatives, and a 100 square meter field test zone is probably not sufficient, we may need as much as 1000 m.”

for a useful protein. Each individual copy can than be transferred to a second bacterium. The protein that people would want to put in a plant is one that will benefit the plant in its growth and development. In research which involves plants, the second bacterium is the Agmbuct&urn species. @bactetium is then introduced into a plant cell by a number of means, one of which Greenberg called, “shot gun cloning, whereby the microbe is coated onto aluminum particles, which are then shot into a cell” with a device resembling a pistol, The use of a second host to mediate the DNA transfer permits only the resistance marker and the required DNA to be incorporated stably into the nuclear DNA of the plant cell This lowers the worries about excess genetic material and its potential interactions, since there is not any to worry about. The antibiotic resistance marker gene is required so that a technician can monitor the transfer of genetic material. So far this rocedure has been success ru lly demonstrated in dicot plants. “It is much harder to do in the monocots, which are the more useful cereal plants, such as rice and wheat,” Greenberg said. This technology is expected to bring about improvements so that crops will have higher herbicide. tolerance, insect and viral resistance, or increased yields, such as larger fruits.

In fact, he was in full support of the work of both the biologists and felt it was very important and useful. He spoke of the “schizophrenic dilemma for the ecologist in which they would advise caution” as a counterpoint to the march of progress.

clence an While health care costs have risen trtiendously with the advance of medical technology and pharmaceuticals, the majority of North Americans are still unhealthy in some manner. Much of this ill-health is preventable. Modem medicine focuses on treatment of disease, not prevention. Therefore, there is a need for a shift to a less expensive, wholistic, prevention based medical philosophy.

In contrast to doctors, nahuopaths receive a diverse education on nutrition during their four year program, whereas doctors receive solely the four&d groups flavour of lecture. They work with, but do not rely on technological advances, and are willing to accept the benefits of alternative medicines such as acupuncture and shiatsu massage, regardless of whether or not they can be proven to be “scientific.”

One manner in which this shift can be achieved is through the integration of naturopaths into the health care system.

Will the integration of naturopathic approaches into our health care system occur? There is growing recognition of the benefits of a real shift from an emphasis on treatment to an emphasis on prevention, but oiher signs are less encouraging. One of the.recommendations of the HPLRC is the de-regulation of naturopathy, regulated under Ontario law since 1925.

One of the social and economic impacts of this technology is proprietary protection. “The agri-chemical companies will give you seeds that are tolerant to their herbicides,” he remarked. This is because there is not much profit to be gained in selling seeds. By developing seeds through biotechnology that are linked to certain herbicides, these companies produce the market for their products. Buy this herbicide that will control this particular weed and we?1 also throw in some seeds that can grow with this herbicide, too. Another implication is public per-

rather than merely suppress the-symptoms. They treat the whole individual, taking into account each patient’s physical and mental health, genetic predispositions and environmental influences. Costs can be saved by shifting to the naturopathic health approach, since minor illnesses can often be prevented from developing into more serious or chronic degenerative diseases. l

De-regulation would mean the end to organized supervision and enforcement of legal requirements for the practice of naturopathy. implications include: no assurance regarding the education and qualifications of naturopaths,&o er&rceable disciplinaj procedures to ensure standards of practice, and the loss of access to research funding to validate and further develop scientific and natural health care.

bioengineering native plant species. He cites the analogy that 600%~ of insect pests in North America were once native species. The Colorado potato beetle -only became a pest when the potato, a native of Peru, was introduced into North America. Dr. Pullman was the only nonscientist on the panel, and has just recently obtained his PhD in Philosophy from UW. I-L main argument concerned the impact of biotechnology on social values. What is the role of the philosopher? “Philosophy is perceived as superfluous to the rest of society,” he noted. “Socrafes calIed himself a gadfly on the head of humanity, irritating and always asking quegtions. That’s what I see as the philosopher’s role in the biotechnology debate. As our technology-oriented society continues accelerating, it raises value questions irrespective of your world view, a?d has&he possibility of changing your views and perceptions rather quickly.”

Mabe we’re going against nature Pullman says man has progressed in his thinking toward changes in

Nature from a consideration of “supernatural selection to natural selection to perhaps unnatural selection.” .He asks: maybe we’re going against Nqture? Oh, there’s nothing wrong, we’re just assisting Nature, since we are a part of Nature. But men b we speeding things beyond their naturalpace? But speed and efficiency is what we want, right? However, he cautions, we must consider the effects upon ecosystem and social systems+ We can easily adjust things and see them take place

Oh there’s nothing wrong we’re just assisting nature in the ecdsystem. We impose a particular human value on Nature and everything balances out quickly. Yet, for social systems, how do people react to these adjustments. Humans are less resilient to change than Nature, evidenced by “hangers on,” people who stick to old values. The main concern is really safety he notes. Part of the problem- with human endeavours that seems to prevent us from making wise decisions is that we pull things apart without actually knowing how it functions, was Pullman’s prognosis. “CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency) was blamed for missing the boat when it introduced diesel tractors into a Third World country forgetting that the country didn’t have the social infrastructure needed to maintain it.” He went on to explain that to use the new biotechnology wisely, iYe have to make more efforts

in making social and anthropological studies as partners with the overall environmental perspective.

we are a part of nature

Each speaker was then given a chance to make some closing remarks, For those who think biotechnology is scary stuff, Trevors says one should think about the nuclear industry. ‘The nuclear indushy had no controls, they were self-rlegulating, they made weapons during the cold war, and we still have problems with waste disposal. With biotechnology, here’s a chance to develop a new technology on a case by case basis.”

“People are adaptable, especially at the grass-roots level,” Hawthorn stated. “We will make the right decisions, but we need to make these regulations first.” The forum was ended by Pullman, who noted that there is-a lack of general knowledge in society. “If we’re going to understand the effects of all this new technology, it is i&urnbent on all of us as soca individuals, to be aware of the big picture.”

Last week, Solicitor General Pierre Cadieux said Sikhs wishing to join the RCMP will be allowed to wear their turbans (a mandatory part of observing their religion) in uniform, RCMP Commissioner Norman Inkster had proposed the change, observing that: “The face of Canada is changing”. We have taken another tiny step on our long and difficult journey toward becoming the “just society” we always claimed we wanted to be. But there is little to feel smug about; every step is dogged by fear, ignorance and resistance, In attempting to become the best we can be, we are constantly revealing to ourselves and world the very worst we can be. The reac$on against this announcement clearly illustrates how this country continues to be confronted by the sad spectacle of the fear of change taking on the ugly face of racism. As in the past, this militant intolerance and unashamed ignorance has risen up for the sake of complete abstractions, in this case, a uniform.

Why are reactionary right wing politics, be it the Reform Party of Canada, or the Libertarian Party, moving out of the lunatic fringe and more into the mainstream? And what about the uniform? I’ve heard it described in this debate as “our uniform”and as a “cherished national symbol.” The RCMP’s traditional scarlet tunic and tan Stetson once upon a time didn’t exist.

To escalate war testing in Nitassinan the military needed a documti to show that the various impacts of low-level flying on the Innu people and their Iand could be mitigated when not minor. In the Goose Bay Environmental Impact Statement, the Department of National Defence (DND) found just such a document. And the Iavalin Corporation, in preparation of the study, became a wiII.ing partner in DND’s campaign of violence against the Innu people. Only two months after the publication of ihe study - which DND told the Globe and ail last November proved that continued w-level flying would “cause only negligible while producing significant f amage economic benefits for the Happy ValleyGoose Bay area” - the Federal Environment sessment Review Office (FEARO) released i!Fe findings of 22 independent technical experts who found the study to have over 115 major flaws.

DNb hopes to use the EIS to escalate war testing in Nitassinan Even in the liberal context of the EIS, a eontext which broadly presupposes the legitimacy of the NATO invasion of Nitassinan and which warrants its escalation given the operation of certain constraints, the study fails. FEAR0 retained the panel to assess the adequacy of the study for discussion in public hearings, and determine whether its guidelines for the study were met. One such guideline states that “the term ‘ecosystem’ must be interpreted broadly, to include human populations with their social, spiritual, cultural, economic, and other structures, systems, practices, institutions and values as part of a life-support system composed of the air, water, minerals, soil, plants, animals and ,micro-organisms, all of which function together to maintain the whole.” In comparison to the guidelines, the study’s “treatment of the human environment is extremely disappointing,” commented Sylvie Vincent of ssDcc, a social sciences consulting firm. Her report alone on the EIS identified ten major deficiencies and asked, rhetorically, “How can the impact of low-level flights be assessed if we know nothing about the two native groups that are likely to be most affected by the project?” She-also charges that “the authors. . . do not venture to establish a connection between the decline in the health of aboriginal peoples, in particular the Innu, and low-level flying . . . ” And in relation. to the study’s view of the economic impacts of further militarization, ‘The EIS,” she writes, “is wholly confined to the Project’s own logic and merely promotes it”

One EIS critic stated that “one cannot escape the impression . . . of a cover-up.”

Other reviewers concluded that “the EIS oes not meet the normal design, analysis or * terpretive standards expected of ecological eld research,” that “the consultants did not ddress the oft-stated concern of the IMU that 1 w-level flying drives away the game,” and i t the EIS treatment of live weapons use “is inadequate by all conceivable standards of assessment.” Ironically, one review commented that ‘Ithere appear to be no major deficiencies in e EIS sections dealing with military policy,” gvlhile another critic stated that “one cannot escape the impression of some sort of a coverup.” What accounts for this “cover-up” is the EIS by a firm with such conas to make any meaningful

What the report neglects to mention is the fact that the transmigmtion project is an environmental and human rights disaster. The relocation of over two million people from the heavily populated islands of Indonesia to the province has caused, in less than 15 years, the destruction of 3.3 million hectares of tropical rain forest. On the fate of the related masses, Envimnesia magazine (08/89) states that “migrants are often reduced #o cheap labour,” characterizing the transmigrations in the following manner: in one case, “the lives of 6,500 families have been reiduced to one of reliance on a meager remittance and Iand they do not own” The magazine goes on to state that “the concerns remain the same: destruction of tropical forests, insufficient support for resettled peoples, and displacement of indigenous populations.” Compare the account of one transmigration problem with a related criticism of the EIS. Envirorzesiu states that “from the beginning *. . both the transmigrants and the local people’s rights were not adequately taken

Heavy involvement in military ’ industries did not exempt Lavalin corporation from conducting the EIS.

an increase in flying to reach over 16,000 lowlevel flights each year, regardless of a NATO base. Evidently, for DND, the question of emimmental impact had been decided years before any large-scale study had begun A recent NATO recommendation that the NATO base go to Turkey instead of Goose Bay changes little for the Innu The NATO proposal was never more than an abstract threat - what has been and what continues to destroy the IMU is the current testing which will continue until at least 1996. Evidently, the flights have not stopped. NATO is still in NW&an. DND did not, however, conduct the EIS study itself, but contracteddthe project out to a group of !irms led by Fence. Ltd., a subsidiary of Lavalin Inc., of Montreal. Another Lavalin firm, Iavalin Environment, prepared the “indepth and impartial” report. In addition to its substantial involvement in interests directly conflicting with the possibility of writing an impartial impact statement, Iavalin firms have demonstrated, in past projects, little concern for the environment or its various inhabitants. Ladin’s

interests

are

diverse,

yet

the

con-

flicts these interests present are numerous and blatant, providing insight into the rationale behind DNDS choice ~of Iavalin as EIS authors. In June, 1989, DND awarded Iavalin’s Fence Engineering of Toronto a one year, $4.5 million contract to prepare plans for the construction of 12 minesweepers at a projected cost of nearly half a billion dollars. Lavalin owns UTDC of Kingston, which supplies DND with military trucks. Other Lavalin firms

A smaIl sample of Lavalin’s clientele also gives clues as to the interests it regularly courts, and serves. Governments and corporations largely comprise Iavalm’s clientele, including such organizations as Pratt and Whitney Canada, IBM Canada, Trans-Canada Pipelines, the James Bay Energy Corporation, Hydro Quebec, CIDA, the World Bank, the National Institute for the Electrification of Guatemala and numerous Federal and Provincial government departments. The possibility that the engineering firm which helped make increased NATO war testing in Nitassinan a reality might benefit from DND’s search for contractors to build the base would not be lost ti IavaIin. The firm has also received r&ions of taxpayers’dollars in the past, Iargely for involvement in overseas ‘development’ projects. Indeed, Montreal-based IavaIin receives approximately half of its nearly $1 billion in revenues from exports and has offices around .the globe in Africa, South America, Asia, Europe and the United States. Two of these larger projects reveal a great deal about the true nature of Iavalin commitments to the environmental and cultural impacts of their

Shawinigan Lavalin is involved in another controversial project which, in the words of Probe International’s Grainne Ryder, “would be an environmental disaster.” The world’s largest hydro-electric project, China’s Three Gorges Dam, threatened uproot more than one million people, inundate parts of ten cities, 800 villages and 44,000 hectares of farmland. CIDA paid a consortium of Canadian engineering firms, including Lavalin, SNC Engineering, Hydro Quebec International and B.C. Hydro International, millions to conduct a feasibility study for the project. No CIDA regulation disqualifies these firms from bidding on the project whose feasibility they have determined. All Three Gorges activity was suspended by the Canadian government after the Beijing massacres, much to the chagrin of Marcel Dufour, President of Iavalin Inc., who in a Ma&an’s interview last year stated “that his company has worked to gain access to the Chinese market for five years and was not about to give up its investment.” The Chinese government had already shelved the project for five years in April 1989.

Given the confhcts of interest and the involvement in these ecologically harmful projects, Iavalin authorship of the Goose Bay EIS, written in full knowledge of Innu opposi- I tion to war testing over their land, amounts to 1 nothing less than participation in a criminal endeavour - this study is the document ,I which the invaders of Nitassinan wish to use to seal the Innu’s fate, forcing their nation out of existence.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream March 20,23,24 UW’s Theatre of the Arts by Brian Hulmes Imprint staff Every couple of years, the Drama Department goes wild and stages a major production of a famous show with a huge cast. Two years ago, it was A Furtry Thing Happed on the Way . to fhe Forum, and this year they take on A Midsummw Nigh1 i Dream. The show has been in rehearsal since the term began, and as a result, the endproduct is fantastically detailed and thoroughly enjoyable.

The actors number over twenty and their performances are outstanding. In particular, Anne Hoselton and Sean Saunders, who are both double cast as the rulers of Athens and the rulers of the forest, are wonderful. Saunders’ evil tone and alien movements as Oberon reveal his versatility; in the past he has done mainly comic roles in productions of Titl;elJih Night and A Funny Thing Happendcd on the Way to the Forum. Anne Hoselton is simplv a iov to watch and listen to. Eve&pe&h is well-rehearsed and clear arid, like Saimders, she is fantastically varied in her mannerisms and emotions.

This brings up another outstanding element of the show: the costumes. This i; the second term that Drama had a resident Costume Mistress, and Marion Marshall’s outfits add greatly to the production (especially the Mechanicals). There is no higher praise I can give her than to say that visually, this is one of the best Drama productions I’ve ever seen. The staging is truly impressive, and some of the best scenes are ones in which nothing is said. The opening interaction between Hippolyta and Theseus, for example, is fantastically tense, before a word is spoken. The fight involving the four lovers is also incredibly complex. The effort put into this production by c;tst, crew and director William Chadwick makes it one of the best shows of the year. Don’t miss it.

Godot: awasti waitingfor Godot lklar&

F@rincess Cinema by Brian HoI.r&s Imprint staff Samuel Beckett passed away four months ago, but his most famous play, Waiting for &dot, survives. Last week, a new theatre group in the K-W area, “more or less theatre” staged Godot at the Princess Cinema with some success.

The productionhad itsgood points and its bad. Highest among the good has to be the outstanding performance of Chris Reid, as Fstragon. Reid, who has been in most UW drama productions for the last year and a half, (I&KY, New Canczdiun Kid 772s Zoo Story) has an extremely talented “naturalistic” acting style, and an outs-ding sense of comic timing* Phil Blackmore as Vladimir, the other iead, is also good, but in a differen! way. Blackmore tends more toward a farcical performance, and hence the two leads don’t seem to integrate well.

Vladi& and Estragon have been friends for many years. At the time of the play, they are waiting in a field by a tree, far a man named Godot. As they continue to wait, they bicker, talk about nothing, and generally look for ways to waste time. As it becomes less and less likely that Godot is going to arrive, Vladimir begins to relate the expgrience to the human condition: we iive our lives from day to day, without a$complishing fiuch, making more ur less the same d&xove;;ies with rntioz variations, and wait until it all ends. This theme is somewhat sophisti@ed~ but explai& why the play is a ci&c, The pIay is at times surreal and even rididous, and it h ciear that the ludicrous moments are emphasized.

This kind of refreshing sound is direly needed in today’s disposable airwaves, a hopeful voice with the potential of stamping our culture with their art form as cubism or Bau Haus has in their respective fields. Their up-coming recording is eagerly awaited.

Roy Ellis, a Iaurier student, opened for Invisible College with his twanging Latin guitar and haunting vocals. Singing ail original material, some borrowed from friends, Ellis provided the atmosphere needed in the small cafe setting. His lyrics drifted from poignant love songs to absurd ones, like the soon-tobe classic “Butcher Girl”. Indeed, Ellis’ original strength, as both performer and song-writer, is with his satirical, mocking melodies, not unlike Joe Hall or Frank Zappa. Invisible College, a local band, was the main event.

I U collective have t&en the revised definition of pammid to heart and have made it their mission to produce records which capture the essence of the miasma of anomie/dissipation into which we have been thrust. Through their crunching knife-edge beats and their post environmentalarmageddon diatribes, they drive their point home like true aesthetic terrorists.

Wrong. The future can be deduced because our society is on the fast escalator down toward a future of techno-industrial damnation. In the age of computerized databanks and corporate economic and political control, the words “individual rights and freedoms” are rapidly passing from irony to hilarity.

Me and a Man key on the Moon preserves the ephemeral entity of this musical project called Felt. The album is bound to the material that has come before it, which ranges from the spectral Mexican-blue of ‘%ly Face is on Fire” to the urbane fifties atmosphere of “The Pictorial Jackson Review.” - The music on Me and a Monkqv on the Moon subtly transcribes the deliberate spontaneity of the moment, The newfound musicianship is in part due to the inclusion of two new members for the album, guitarists John Mohan and Richard Left.

The strangely humourous Lawrence

Have you ever wanted to get something off your back but were afraid nobody would pajl attention? Lawrence, lead singer and songwriter of Felt, must entertain these thoughts. After a decade of creating phonographic artifacts, his end has been reached. Unfortunately, few people have listened. With the release of Me and u Mom key on the Moon, Felt’s last album, Lawrence has encompassed, built upon and extricated everything he has leame&about music in the last decade bto one final attempt at popularity.

It sure felt like the Velvet Underground But is anyone listening to this man and his existential landscape of personal desires?

As I sit here, pen in hand, thoughts of you and all you’ve come to mean to me float through my head:Memories,

Although the musical style of Felt always encompassed several decades of popular music, making a lot that has come before it redundant, Lawrence has now authentically translated his literary feeling for the southern United States into his music. The album abounds with stretches ot steel guitars and lonely prairie. Accompanying such enterprising music are Lawrence’s self-reflective lyrics. Lawrence articulates in the tradition of such American writers as William S. Burroughs, Charles Bukowski and Jack Kerouac. The ghc3t of Kerouac especially haunts the images of Me and a Monkey on the Moon as Lawrence jumps into the pages of On the RouJ and bathes in the experience. The lyrics further reveal biographical sketches of the band together with hints of what direction Lawrence might take in the future. What. ever happens, I hope Lawrence decides to complete his ill-fated 1907 El’ which was going to consist of one side of “horror music” and one side of “porno music.” This Lawrence is a very strange person, but at least he’ has a sense of humour. good memoriesAtlantic City, Summer of ‘59; Innsbruck, 34; La!

“Swastikas For Noddy.” But as we both used to agree, Cheb Mami’s two tracks weren’t very good. I don’t even know why we continued to listen to it - habit I guess. Wow, sitting here writing about this stuff really brings back the memories. Maybe the music means more to me than just a soundtrack for the good times. After all, the basic raw material for those recordings has existed for countless thousands of years, it just seems to strike a chord somewhere deep down. The “updating”and embellishments by obscuroindustrial Crowleyites somehow make this timeless (literally) music even more relevant. Far more affecting and interesting than faddish “world beat” music. I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go, I’m getting misty-eyed and sentimental. Maybe the good times have gone, but yeah, well always have the music.

And what kind of music will we be hanging around to? The Cramps’ new album Stay Sick,of course. It’s been close to a decade and a half since the Cramps moved from their native Cleveland to fester in a New York City apartment where the blue rays of late night television aided in the creation of some of the strangest music since Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.

Diamond’s songs can be accused of sounding. Granted, some of the songs on this album e good, especially when sung by the original artists; performed by Carole, the songs are vaguely ludicrous.

The R&B band, By All Means, have shown themselves to be lyrically insightful and mature. Although their themes often deal with love (lost, gained, unrequited, etcetera), they aren’t cliched. As for innovation, well, you won’t find any on this release. Fortunately, this record lacks the sugary arrangments and tinkling electric piano that mars most AOR tunes; bwjqer, it ah33 lacks any spontaneity or feeling.

One begins to wonder if Carole understands English, or if she merely interjects breathy sighs randomly. Carole’s exaggerated passion is irritating by the middle of the first song; listening to the whole album is almost unendurable.

Carole Laure is a Parisian singer. Her exclusively cover album, Westem Shadows, contains cuts in both English and French. And some of the French cuts are adapted versions of English songs also on the album.

A fourteen year drought of national championships by university volleyball teams east of Winnipeg is finally over. The University of Lava! Rouge et Or have accomplished the seemingly impossible, sweeping the top ranked team in the country, Manitoba, three games straight (15-9, 15-9,. 15-IO), before a near cap&y crowd at the University of Winnipeg Sunday night, m$ last time an eastern team won the Tantramar Trophy for the Canadian Ijnteruniversity Athletic Union’s volle#all title, Sherbrooke did it in 197475. LavaI’s win was only one of two big ups& in the eight-team tournament this p@ w.eekend. ESier in the day, OUT &mrloo Warriors (ranked fourth) whipped the third ranked Sask&hew~~ Huskies 3-O (158,156, 15%) in just under 70 minutes to take Fe bronze medal in Canada. In the consolation final, the Sherbrooke Vert et Or defeated the Alberta Golden Bears 3-O (15-8,154, 15-7) for fifth place overall, relegating Alberta Lo sixth. Both the Dalhousie Tigers and the host Winnipeg Wesmen were eliminated after losing their first two matches. Waterloo lost its chance to be in the finals after a tough 3-O loss to Manitoba on Saturday. But this is the second year in a row that the arrogant Bisons have choked under -the limelight taking: the bridesmaid role. “It’s a tremendous and outstanding feeling for us and a dream come true,“” said ecstatic Lava1 head coach Clemment Lemieux. He started the volleyball program there eight years ago and has coached the last five. Manitoba beat bval 3-O sit the beginning of the year, however, the .

The sprinkling of fans that fought a Winnipeg k&zzard to come see Friday night’s prelimiiary round tilt between the Warriors and Alberta sure got their money’s worth.

The second game was highlighted by a couple of long palm-sweating rallies. Neither team would let up and a couple of series went to six sideouts between points.

Soccer

The annual Guelph women’s indoor soccer toumament was held this weekend, and a team comprised of mainly varsity players from UW participated in the two-day event. The team was looking to improve upon last year’s bronze medal finish in this tournament. invitational

The firstgame was against North Bay, and both teams had a hard time getting on track, with the game ending in a scoreless draw. Waterloo got their attack going in the next contest against a Guelph team, Eurochoice. Karen Waghorn scored on a pass from Ellen Veysey and after that, Waterloo protected that lead to win l0. Unfortunately, they lost keeper Kris Gordon to a concussion after a collision while making a diving save. A three-game layoff gave Waterloo a rest before facink two tough squads from Queen’s and Laurier. Queen’s was coming off a high-scoring win in their previous game, so Waterloo took to the floor playing a tough manto-man defence with pressure on the ball constantly. The pressure seemed to rattle the opponents and Waterloo’s Lambrini Mantzios scored on a scramble in front of the net after the keeper couldn’t get control of the ball. a

Waterloo was caught napping right off the kick-off to start the second half, resulting in a three-on-two break Keeper Laurie Whyte had no chance on the shot. UW regrouped quickly after that, with their defence intercepting passes, winning tackles, and starting quick counter-attacks. Fullbacks Kerry Jameson, Kelly Campbell, Mary Green, Sue Penson, and Sarah Boswell all had excellent games and tournaments. The game ended in a l1 tie. It doesn’t matter whether it’s on the playingfield in the fall or on the hardwood indoors, UW’s rivalry with Laurier continues. At the&art of the game, Laurier seemed to pass the ball at will, pinning Waterloo in their own end and forcing the defence to block shots and help keep the game scoreless. After a quick counter-attack by Sarah Boswell, Waterloo seemed to turn their game around. A quick kickin from the sideline by Boswell found Julie Latreille in front Qf &en& and she made no rnistak&&#$%ie volley, blasting the ball pz&&?%!& Iaurier & ,;, keeper. The second half saw Iaurier press the attack but once again, strong tackling by both forwards and defence disrupted their offence.

advance to the semi-finals, but that was not to be. It was a see-saw battle, with both teams getting scoring chances. Forwards Carol Farough and Anita Toogood combined to get some excellent scoring chances, but Windsor emerged with the win 1-O. Waterloo ended up tied for second with Queen’s with two wins, two ties, and one loss, but lost the chance to advance based on the teams’goals for and against totals. -It was an excellent effort by the entire team, who worked hard during the practice sessions and tournaments this winter. As well, special thanks goes to the assistant coaches, Jim, Sarah, and Barry for all their sup port and extra effort during the indoor season. Friday night’s athletic banquet will bring to a close the UW playing careers of four Athena soccer players. Wendy Smith, a member of&he first Athena soccer team, has played four seasons with the squad, mainly as a midfielder. Tamrni Winchester, the other remaining member of that fust team, also aaduates after three seasons with the team. She started out as a forward, and then played two solid seasons in net. These two players contributed a great deal, on the field with excellent play, ‘and off the field helping provide stability and leadership in the ,early years of the program In the third year of the team, a transf&r student from Laurier, Heather Bowen, arrived on the scene and made her presence felt with good soccer skills and goal-scoring ability. Heather scored four goals in her first season as a forward and then continued her career mainly in the midfield.

McKee received. UW’s first ever CL4U Coach of the Year award for hockey, what he called “a great honour,” at the All-Canadians banquet last Friday night on the ‘eve of Li)urier’s appearance in the national final. “It brings a lot of credibility to UW and our hockey program,” McKee _& felt. “It also indicates to me that the hard work that we’ve been putting into this program to make it one of the b&t in the Canadian universities has been recognized by others.” The Warriors compiled a 17-4-1 regular season record, and were ranked as highly as second in Canada in one of the best seasons ever for the squad, before losing in two straight to , the eventual CIAU runners-up Golden Hawks. 1 Mike Bishop, the Warriors’brilliant goalie, received the crowning glory of his university career at the same awards ceremony.

Report

by Al Fdlioft

Imprintstaff With the owners’ lockout now settled, it’s time for baseball fans to Concentrate on the upcoming season Here is a team-by-team analysis, with predictions on what might happen

with baseball’s best pitching staff. They have to choose between Ron Darling and Bob Ojeda for their fifth starter. Both would be topflight pitchers on any other staff. Dwight Gooden, Frank Viola, David Cone, and Sid Fernandez round out the staff- The off-season acquisition of John Franc0 from the Reds, gives them one of baseball’s best Closes. The departure of Keith Hemandez allows Dave Magadon to step in and play every day. Strong offerisive production from Daryl Strawberry and Howard Johnson will ensure the h&s third title in five years.

Whereelsewmldyou go for Iialian?

3. Chicago

Diego Padres: Tony Gwynn, Joe Carter, and Jack Clark give the Padres the best l-2-3 punch in baseball. The pitching staff will be hurt by the loss of Cy Young winner Mark Davis, but should hold together. Benito Santiago is the best catcher in baseball. The big problem for the Padres is third base, and the aging Gary Templeton at shortstop. 3. San Francisco Giants: If you were to ignore pitching the Giants would be baseball’s best team. Will Clark is one of the game’s best and Kevin Mitchell may be developingsimilarstatus. Thirdbaseman Matt Williams is an outstanding young player, who will only get better. The signing of Gary Carter may help behind the plate. Their pitching is average with Rich Revsheli and Don Robinson in the twilight of their careers. 4. Los Angeles Dodgers: Ore1 Hershiser anchors a strong pitching staff. They need Kirk Gibson and Kal Daniels to stay healthy and Jay Howell must carry the load in the bullpen.

cubs:

The Cubs played above their heads iast year and should fall back to earth this season. Mark, Grace, Ryne Sandberg, and Jerome Walton will have a heavier load to carry, with Andre Dawson’s knees reducing his playing time drastically. 4. Pittsburgh Pintes: The Pirates have one of baseball’s best outfields with Andy Van Slyke, Barry Bonds, and Bobby BoniHa (moving to right field ‘from third base). From there, ihe Pirates have problems. Their pitching staff isn’t very deep and every infield position is up for grabs. 5. Montreal Expos: The Expos had their pitching staff decimated by free agency and it doesn’t look lie they will recover. Andres Galarraga, Tim Wallach, and Tim Raines give them some offensive punch, but it won’t be nearly enough. 6. PMadelphia Phi&s: Another long year is ahead for a team with a lot of holes. Roger McDowell and Jeff Parrett give them a strong bullpen, but the starting pitchers are weak. Van Hayes and John Kreik have too heavy an offensive load to carry.

Cincinnati had a talented roster which has been hurt the past three seasons by injuries more than any other team in baseball. Given a

The key will be how well Vince Coleman and Willie McGee “set the table” for the big men, Guerrero and Tom Brunansky. Both McGee and Coleman had horrible years last season. The bullpen is a question, with Todd Worrell on the sidelines until July, recovering from elbow surgery,

Barry Larkin, who led the league in hitting when he got hurt at the all-star game, is now the best shortstop in the National League. The Reds’ pitching staff is deeper than anyone else’s, Rob Dibble, Randy Myers, and NOT Charlton give them three excellent relief pitchers. Danny Jackson, Jose Rijo, and Tom Browning are all potential 20 game winners, while rookie Scott Sudder is one of the top ptiching prospects around. lf Davis stays healthy and plays to his potential, and the pitchin staff lasts all year, the Reds should !inall y -4n the West after years of frustration.

Eric Anthony is a young player who may become a superstar in the Astros’ outfield. Beyond Anthony and Mike Scott, there isn’t much hope. 6.

Monday night was an exciting ’ ht in women’s competitive basketJ 1 with the first place teams of both leagues being defeated in the finals. The “A” league game between the VBs and the Jammers was close for the entire game. The Jammers, led by Krista Smith’s scoring, her drives for the W’s net, and Sheri Brown’s enthusiasm, went on to victory. Both teams showed excellent skills and effort. Congratulations to the Jammers for their 30-27 victory over the VBs. North B&D is a new team to the “B” league and this group of players could be the ones to watch out for next year. This spirited team played with determination against the previously undefeated Renison Rockettes and earned a 21-20 victory in a well-fought game. Congratulations to Angela Lee and S-J. Bowder for their scoring efforts in the game.

In his thirteenth year at the helm of the Bisons, Garth’Pischke was handed CIAU coach of the year for his team’s number one ranked performance through the greater part of the 1989-90 season.

Steve Smith, a member of Canada’s national team, raked up some impressive numbers with Waterloo in league play this season. Among his statistics are per game averages of 0.37 on serving aces, 4.11 on kills, and 5.0 on total points. Last year, Steve was given an AllCanadian honourable mention and not one Warrior made first or second team.

Although the CIAU hockey champions were decided last weekend, a much more prestigious hockey title will be up for grabs this Sunday. The C mpus Recreation men’s competiti e hockey championships run this . S nday, March 25,1990, with the first ’ 1beginning at 5 pm and culminatwith the “A” league final at 10 4P. * Final standings in the “A” league had Jack’s Squad and St. Jerome’s on top with identical 5-l-O records with tl-y tie coming when these teams squared off against each other. After both winning their first round games, it ppears these teams will meet in the fi.L ‘~ hs. In the “B” league, it appears that nbne of that Tuffy Knight magic. has wbrn off as many football Warriors e changed their cleats for some .s Ja tes. Tuffy’s Knights finished with a pfdect 5-O record and appear to be the team.to beat. Don’t count out the h’ -scoring Beekeepers (6.4 goals f r game) or the defensively sound FYEI (0.4 goals against avg) to upset. ’ Rounding out the “B” league top tqn are: Dynamo, Beer Goggles, The Sbpsticks, South Bear Skins, Funken Puckers, Melancholy, Fetish, and Shafted & Piston. Good luck to all as the playoffs continue.
