U W president

examines .economic backwardness

and economy

Resea+rch,-developement l7yFleurMaqllleen Imprintstaff By international standards, Canadian spending on research and development is one of the lowest of major industrialized nations. The National Science and Engineering Research Council reports that at 4.2 engineers and research scientists per thousand of labour force, we are well below the 6.5 per thousand of the United States, or 7.9 per thousand of Japan

’

UW President Doug Wright says this state of affairs ‘*is a serious problem, and bluntly is a measure of our econotic b&cwardness.” But Wright cautions that statistics can be misleading: for example, although the United States has had a high research and development expenditure, much of this is on the military* When asked why we spend so little on research, Wright outlined what he

“In Europe in the 50s and 60s, they introduced many similar programs, but by the late 70s . . . (they) had tightened up their programs. Not to withdraw benefits from those really in need, but to make sure the benefits didn’t go to those who didn’t need them.“

goods into Canada. Company profits still went to the parent companies. “Behind a high tariff barrier, you can often manage on second hand technology, so technology was very often licensed in, or brought in by a parent,” Wright explains. Such an economy brought us a reasonable standard of living in the 195Os, 60s and 7Os, but was not conducive to innovation or research. That kind of economy probably cannot maintain our standard of living now, he believes. The Free Trade Agreement addresses the branch plant problem, Wright says, as Canadian companies now must innovate in order to compete with American imports. “It’s a stimulus, it’s tough for the protected industries, but it’s also very good news for those that are innovative, and are able to export.”

“Unemployment insurance acts as a guaranteed income” The Canadian government targets their programs poorly, according t0 Wright, often giving unnecessary benefits to the middle classes. ‘Wnemployment insurance acts as a guaranteed annual income,” he =ys* UW’s president sees politicians, faced with the choice of spending less or taxing more, leaning toward taxes, as they “lack the courage (to cut pro grams), and the reason they lack the courage is too many of the Canadian people think they have a God-given right to all these extravagant programs.

We are now living beyond our means, resulting in our massive deficit. “In the &Is, we were so damn rich that Canadians saw this as some

sees as the reasons. “Maybe this is a bit of an oversimplification, but (our economy) has been extraordinarily dependent upon the exploitation of resources, and much of what we produce is exported in an unfinished or semi-finished way.” Wright cites high trade tariff barriers for the creation of Canada’s branch plant syndrome, in which American companies located plants here to escape paying tariffs to import

giant Kuwait, that we would just have to export natural resources to be rich forever,” he explains. During this time, we introduced expensive social programs, such as many federal transfer payments, unemployment insurance, and business subsidies. The government paid companies like Canadair and De‘ Havilland hundreds of millions of dollars, Wright says, money that was wasted. _

Wright advises ed ucators by Fkur Maqueen Ilqrint staff “Canadian kids do well until grade seven or eight, by international standards in school, (but) in high school we fall down to the middle or bottom ofthepack,“saysUWpresidentDoug Wright Such a standing concerns the president, and in his new role as the prime minister’s representative on the Council of Ministers of Education, he is working with the provinces to do something about it Last August, Bri+n Mulroney stated that our prosperity as an advanced country “is going to depend mostly on the level and quality of the skills and knowledge of canadiansnot just how hard we can work, but how smart we can work,” Wright says. The provincial premiers agree with Mulroney, and the Council of Ministers of Education is now laying the groundwork for a study looking for d~tions to the problems challenging (hxla’s labour force. Wright is spending about one day a week meeting with provincial officials on the council. Wright believes that Canadian high school students perform poorly because they believe that “we’re going to be rich anyhow... a lot of parents and a lot of kids think that socialking is more importantthan intellectualizing, and dating is more important than homework.”

Wright cites the academic success of the children of many recent immigrants to their pare&attitudes. “Some people are inclined to blame the schools @r poor academic performance); I think that more of an answer would be found in the family. L,ook how well young people who came as Vietnamese refugees or immigrants from South East Asia, look how well their kids have done in school because their parents have conveyed to them a tremendous ut homework desire to learn They ahead of dating in hi EJ school, (and)

“a lot of parents and a lot of kids think. . . dating is more important than homework” we see their success all around us.” The council is also looking at retraining older workers to meet the skill requirements of today’s skilled jobs, as there are not enough new entrants into the labour poo1 to fill these jobs. The labow force has grown substantially in the last twenty-five years, due to the entrance of baby boome= and a great number of women, but that growth is behind us now, Wright says. The only part of the labour force grocurrently is workers in their forties and older. Some of these workers are not highly skilled, but he says “we can’t afford to have these people becoming unproductive.”

Wright cited a study, done several years ago by the automakers and the Canadian Autoworkers Union, that found the %ew manufacturing technologies for automobiles required a knowledge of mathematics way beyond that then held by the kind of people working in auto plants.” As a result, Wright sees that older workers and their employers need to be ready for a great deal of retraining. Many retraining programs are not covered in unemployment insurance, a program Wright finds very inefficient ‘VI has never done anythwho are ing for older workers underskilled but waits for people to be unemployed. You get paid for being unemployed, but you don’t get paid if you get retrained - you disqualify yourself. UI is a reward for sitting on your butt and doing nothing... (we have) too many programs like that.” In Wright’s view, the fundamental problem in our society is complacency. He believes too many people do not care enough about their education and training and that we cannot maintain our status as an advanced and wealthy country if our citizens are not willing to work for it. “We have to get people to care, so they prepare themselves, so they protect themselves, and so that we can continue to sustain the kind of society in Canada that we really want.”

“People tend not to see the handwriting on the wall until their backs are up against it. We don’t have our backs up against the wall yet, but people find it difficult to acknowledge that programs have to change.” But to survive in the coming years, Wright urges that we have to read the writing on the wall, and accept that we simply cannot afford the generosity of current government programs. photo by Joanne Sandrin

The Board of Directors of Imprint had requested a $1 iurn@ to allow for the purchase of replacement equipment necessary to maintain the current standard of weekly publication. Since 1986, the newspaper has grown an from 20-24 pages to 32-40 pages weekly, increased coverage of campus events, computerized the office, and bought a new typesetter and PMT camera. Printing costs have soared and salaries for full-time staff increased as a result of the paper’s increase in size during this period. imprint felt the one dollar request was justified and necessary. The Federation of Students’ President Dave Readman trimmed back the Imprint request to 65 cents. He later told imprint that he “did not feel it was appropriate to go above and beyond that”without holding a referendum on campus. Duringa meeting prior to the increase, he did not indicate that he wanted Imprintto hold a referendum or put a question on a Federationheld referendum if it wanted an increase beyond the cost of living. Imprint revenues come from a combination of advertising and refundable student fees. In 1987, student fees represented thirty-seven per cent of revenue. By 1989 that figure had hit an all-time low of twenty-seven per cent. hprint is an independent corporation, created by student referendum in 1979. At that time the Imprint fee was $1.75; it was increased to $2.25 in 1981 and $3 in 1986.

The problems with Meech m

stated that “the Mulroney govemment has shattered the collectivist public policy logic which had both defined and sustained a united Canada.”

byPeterl3rown Imprint staff

“I think we’ve got a problem that threatens Canada as it ezdsts now. It’s a much larger problem than just French and English,” says UW political science protir Temnce Downey. ‘You can see it in the constitutional deadlock that we’vx ‘got right now, in our divisions of wealth and income, and in divisions of working people and business peapie.”

‘The presence of Quebec as part of the country is one of the things that makes us different, and we’ve always seen that as worthwhile-.” Until now. ’

Downey views the recent rash of resolutions being English-only passed by Ontario municipalities, sparked by &@ S&L. I Ma&s. @tv council decision, merely as a symptom of the cuhural and social bankruptcy brought by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s Conservative mandate since 1984.

ment that market forces should prevail,” Downey continued in an Imprint interview. ‘They’ve told us that we should all try to do the best we can as individuals to succeed, and in ,doing so, they’ve broken down the psychologicaI, political, and econi omit ties that kept us together.” For Downey, Canada’s French heritage is part of these ties. He championed this thesis in a recent K-W Record article which

‘These municipalities say that they don’t want to be forced to put in French services because this will cost too much money. But there’s nothing in the provincial legislation that says they must have biigual services.” Downey believes that they are clearly sending a mmge, and that message is self-interest. ‘We’ve been told in the last six or seven years by the Mulroney govem-

In his view, Canada cannot survive when the bottom-line is paramount, as it is in the free trade deal. “Under free trade, we’re encouraged to let market forces run this country, but this counby has never been run by market forces. We’ve never allowed it up to this time because we recognized that Canada could not be held together by economic matters aIon~. There had to be public policies which constantly drew us together, like crown corporations, tariffs to protect industry,-and legislation to protect workers.

Municipalities show self interest ‘We didn’t always like them, but we chose them because we recognized that that’s what it takes to keep the country together.” Now, Downey sees self-interest as the

motive that is gaining popularity. ‘?f everyone pursues their own interest, @en no one is going to give a damn about promoting another language if it’s not in their immediat$economic interest to do so.” Downey feels hat free trade “severs the ties where I, as a taxpaver in 011mi0,

am willing

help people in the Maritimes who don’t have the opportunities that we have, or I’m willing to pay more to promote bilingualism in the places where it’s appropriate.“ Meech Lake is also a prime example of the effects of a free trade philosophy. According to Downey’s article, the accord “would deter the federal government from introducing ‘people programs’ and absolve it from responsibility for (and preclude the possibility of) forging a truly national will and identity.” He echoed this sentiment in the interview. ‘There’s obviously an unwillingness to compromise in the negotiations. I have serious reservations about Meech, not so much because of what it says about Quebec, but because of how it limits the role and the power of the federal govemment to achieve national objectives, Canadian objectives. So that policy ma.kingwilIbetheresultmoresoof an agreement of various provinces ,rather than the federal government taking a lead.”

wee UW students have been chosen to represent Canada at the fourth annual Youth B&Iding the Future (YBF) Conference this summer in Cairo, Egypt. Economics student Al tit, Joanne Alderidge of civil engineering and John Mason of history/political science will leave in early July for the week long conference at the ‘American University Cairo. Students from over forty countries have been invited to participate in the conference, which will focus on the Middle East peace process, first world - third world relations, preservation of the Sahel environment and sustainable development. YBF is an international student network created by university students concerned about the well-being of their planet and its inhabitants. The group’s aim is to promote peace and cooperation through cultural exchange and education. The network had its beginning in August 1987 at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology when the first conference was organized in conjunction with RMIl?s centenary celebrations. Ninety university students from 18 countries participated in that first conference. YBF is not a single-issue group, but is concerned about any issue of importance to the world’s future. The conferences and the network are a means to brea& down btiers brought about by lack of knowledge, understanding, commtication and political misinformation; to increase the appreciation of other social, cultural and political systems and to develop action plans for solving problems that face the world. Since the initial conference in Australia, concurrent annual conferences have been held at UW in August 1988 and the University of Buenos Aires, Buerios Aires, Argentina in July 1989. UW’s YBF group is active in fundraising to cover the transportation costs for the three Canadian delegates. As well, the UW groupis. .hoping to sponsor a student from Nicaragua to represent his or her count+ at the conference. $3200 of the $5000 target amount have been committed to date.

Citizen’s Referendum ami other groups want change

Referendum by John MacFarlant?

Impfit

staff

Meech Lake. The GST. Abortion. Free Trade. Quebec Independence. All &ese are contentious issues Of with strong MtiOIIal concern opinions on either side, but there have been many ckhns that the federal government is running roughshod over the interests Of the people they are supposed to reprosent. Canadians also feel ManY potiti~ims in general have been ignoring their constituents once in office and only become responsive to the needs of the electorate come election time in order to save their political careers. A new movement is afoot, however, which would like to see Canada adopt a political system similar to that of Switzerland where electors have a more direct influence in the running of their country. Tom Schmidt of UW’s engineering photo lab and proponent of Kitchenerbased Citizens’ Refwendum says the referendum system of government would allow all Canadians to have their say on major contentious issues.

According to a Citizens’ Referendum pamphlet, such a system would give the people a constitutional right to “veto any unpopular legislation by referendum, initiate legislation, or request that an unsatisfactory Member of Parliament resign at any time.“ Schmidt explains that after a petition for a referendum is presented to the fedad government a vote would be taken in the House of Commons to decide whether the particular issue should indeed go to a n&o& referendum. If a referendum is then called, it would be run in a sin&r fashion t0 this term's CFS referendum, and the majority decision of voters would become law. What would happen if a majority government decided to vote against having a referendum, preferring t0 implement their own legislation? Schmidt says there would be a recall procedure in place where the eiectorate could force any politician t0 resign if they were unhappy with his or her performance including the blockage of a referendum. In Australia, a candidate pledging to support the Swiss system even signed an undated resignation before being elected.

Woolstencroft notes that many theorists believe democracy should involve people electing qualified candidates to make the tough decisions and accommodate the diverse interests of the various social groups. He asks “is politics simply winning and losing or does it involve accommodation?” and adds that referenda often don’t solve any problems but simply re-enforce the existing cleavage between social groups. He says wit the population distribution in Canada, less populated areas such as the Maritimes could conceivably be permanent losers in the referendum game. ‘Politicians are assuming they know what we want,” according to Schmidt, but they can’t possibly represent their constituents when they have to folios the party Iine. He adds that referenda would alleviate much of the blame heaped on politicians since the tough decisions would be made directly by the electorate. He also argues that lobby groups would have less influence on major policy decisions since they would have to persuade all Canadians to see things their way as opposed to only a handful of politicians. Woolstencroft disagrees however, saying no voter can be independent from the influence of the interest groups, regardless of the system, Schmidt was asked whether such a system woulg result in every tough decision being vetOed, such as raising taxes, despite the necessity of having

such legislation, He responds that it is up to the government to educate and persuade the electorate to vote one way or another. He points out that the federal government is currently the largest advertiser in Canada, and is familiar with the seUi.ng game. Woolstencroft counters that citizens can’t be expected to know all the arguments involved with every referendum issue, and while they would make the decisions, it would be the politicians who would have to deal with the consequences of those decisions. Human rights issues also pose a problem because referenda would play the courts and constitution against public opinion on important issues such as abOrtion and immigration.

McLaughlin is also investigating “the macho image that developed at Waterloo.” The male/female ratio was once 25-l. It was in this atmosphere that the Ridgid Tool (now known as “the Tool”) was established. He also hopes to look at why UW students were so radical in the late 1960s. A great deal OC attention will be brought to bear on the university’s highly publicized split with Waterloo College (now WIN). McLaughlin will interview surviving members of the board of Waterloo College, as well as any other surviving professors. He says the papers of the late Gerry Hagey, UW’s first president, will be invaluable. McLaughlin’s first book was a prize-winning study of the developmerit of the-city of Kitchener, c& authored by colleague Dr. John English. He does not know when the WV history will be done.

by Stephen Fischer Imprint SW Dr: Ken McLaughlin, dean of St. Jerome’s College and history professor of long standing at the University of Waterloo, is presently researching an authorized history of the university. McLaughlin will tackle some of the unique issues that have shaped Waterloo since its inception. The history professor begins his study by capturing the mood of the times. Just as classes were beginning in 1957, the Soviet Union launched its Sputnik satellite into space, an event which terrified much of the Western world. Dr. McLaughlin suggests that this event may explain why many “felt the older universities had clearlv let us down.” Shortly thereafter, & smggling young UW campus was granted a great deal of funding for primarily technological studies.

He does favour referenda in situations where the legislation would chwe the basic fabric of a society, such as joining or separating from confederation, but fears that the system could get out of hand, with referenda on relatively minor issues. Schmidt grass roots “YS organizations similar to Citizens’ Referendum are popping up all over Canada, born out of frustration with the current political setup. The current focus of their efforts is educating the public on what this new system involves and asking them to petition for a vote on its implementation.

Schmidt stresses the Citizens’ Referendum is not a politicalparty nor does it endorse any political party or ideology. He says it is simply a political system which can be applied to any level of government. While the referendum system may be fine in theory, it runs the risk of being abused according to UW political science professor RP. Woolstencroft. He says people simply get tired of constantly voting on so many issues and he points to Switzerland as an example, where there is only a 25 per cent turn-out rate, the lowest in the democratic world. He adds that voters’ in California are faced with pages upon pages of referendum questions on relatively minor issues, and often decide to tune-out.

Its foreign policy has thrived for so long on a baIance of power between superpowers, upon having an identifiable them to make the target of its national energies. Certainly, American policy-makers want to see a weaker Soviet regime, one less capable of countering the expansion of U.S. economic interests abroad; all the crumbling Berlin walls in the universe couldn’t change that. But, America is coming to realize’ that what can happen to the USSR can happen to the US., and that what is happening to the USSR wjll happento the U.S. As the changes come thick and fast, one unthinkable schism in standard political doctrine after another, the U.S. is silently gulping as it begins to recognize that what it sees in Europe is a analogic preview of its future.

In the past year, incredible international reforms have taken place. Communism is crumbling so fast that the man who instigated more freedom, Gorbachev, cannot keep up with it. In Germany, the citizens smashed holes in the hated Berlin Wall, in Hungary a dissident poet became the president of the country, and in Romania the people deposed their loathed dictak Around the world, there are signs of the kind of global warming that the citizens of the earth welcome. But Canada is in another state altogether. Our media brings us new stories each day from French and English Canadians, often ones which tell us how one group is fed up with the other and wants to leave, or wants them to leave. The mood in the country now is one of tension and hatred. This hatred seems well reflected in Imprint’s Forum section. No, we don’t have a myriad of letters on language and culture questions. But we do have recurring themes in the letters to the editor: religion, sexuality, gun control, women’s rights, engineers, the university administration, Fed Hall, politicians and Imprint itself are all dis’ cussed regularly in Forum. And the one thing common to many letters is the kind of cynical, hateful, vehement statements found there over and over again. Readers sometimes say that Imprint shouldn’t allow other readers to have their letters published, as they don’t deserve it. One comes to mind, in which the writers said we shouldn’t have published a letter that contained what they felt were “morally and intellectually bankrupt arguments.” Another reader told us on the reader’s survey that “other papers aren’t so full of people cutting down other people’s beliefs.” We could refuse to publish personal attacks, as the KidwnerWale&o Record does. We could throw out some letters, as one reader suggested, because “some people are too stupid to be published.“But such actions on our part would decimate our letters section. We wouldn’t h&e anything left! Not that I’m a great lover of letters to the editor. After typing them for over a year now, I think I’ve heard every argument at least once, and am tired of them all. While it is important that readers have a iorum for their opinions, I think that they have often abused it, saying things in writing that they would never say in a conversation with those who hold opposing views. When I verify the source of a letter which is particularly cutting, I’m often surprised at how reasonable the letter writer sounds on the phone. If these writers don’t mean to insult people, as they have told me, why do they? Why do they feel that anything goes in Forum, that they can be as mean as they like, and it doesn’t matter? The people that bother me the most are the ones that ask to hide their vengeful views behind the anonymity of “Name withheld on request.” I grant very few writers with this privilege, as I believe people should stand up for what they believe in. If they won’t, I ask them why not? Usually because they want to insult people without facing the consequences of these insults. Very disturbing. Forum is a service provided to Imprint readers. We print almost all the letters we receive, but we do cut off discussion on topics that we feel have been dragging on too long. and don’t allow the same writer to dump endless letters into the section, so that other readers can have their turn. Right now, though, I would be happy to get rid of Forum completely. I’m tired of providing a place for readers to spew hatred on each other. Flew

Of course, I don’t mean an analog as strict as the state. Alaska or New Mexico are not about to elect radically left-wing governors and suddenly declare independence from the union. But American economic weI1bei.q is still dependent upon domination of its neighbouring states and many other countries around the globe, and this empire is still vulnerable to ideological sabotage by smallscale nationalistic movements. This is why the state department will watch without serious protest while the Soviet army invades a Lithuanian mental hospital in order to capture escaped conscripts. This is why the White House’s only official response to the seizing of Communist Party headquarters in Lithuania by Soviet troops is assorted hums and hahs from Marlin F&water about “a very complex, delicate diplomatic situation.”

The Americans,

secretly,

would

probably urge the Kremlin to crack down on the disobedient republic for two reasons. First, repression of Lithuaqia and the other Baltic Republics would divert the world’s self-righteous attention to the ‘%arbarous” Soviets and away from the oppressive economic vice applied by the United States upon the third world, especially Central and South America. Second, the U.S. is at a stage of its devolution when it appreciates any rearguard action by a fellow superpower to defend the very principle of superpowerdom, that a state has the other right to seize or control territories by economic or military means and enforce its seizure or control by those same means. Thankfully, Canada’s response to the crackdown in Lithuania has been slightly more outraged, but this rare and marginal deviation from American foreign policy is tainted by External Affairs’ cowardly and regressive policy of refusing to declare its recognition of governments. It will be interesting, and ominous at the same time, to watch the Soviet fist tighten on the Baltic, and hear the stilted American voice falter to whispers.

Daycare subsidy for, a.11 To-the editor,

AS it stands now, parents pursuing a graduate degree, additional diploma or certificate are ineligible to apply for subsidized daycare spaces according to the Regional Municip-

ality of Waterloo’s priority system. Whether they are single or not, at the poverty line or below it, such parents are systematically denied access to the region’s subsidy program. However, undergraduate parents are eligible for this subsidy. The arbitrary nature of such a priority system discriminates against all other post-

Get mad, get even To the editor, Now is the time to get mad. The new term for democracy is “Say what you want but do as you’re told.” The GST is a blatant tax grab. Rather than make the government more efficient, they make us pay, pay, pay. Did you know: l The GST in England (called VAT) is fifteen per cent on everything. l The GST in Ireland (called VAT) is twenty-five per cent on everything. When Canada follows so closely in the tracks of England, are they going to try to tell us it will stay at seven per cent here? The middle class is being eliminated. The next generation and maybe this generation will not be able to afford houses. The rich, now holding and building revenue and rental property, will prosper again. The government wants to keep us broke because it is the low income earners that pay al1 the taxes. We cannot afford the investments etc. that lower our taxes. Have you seven per cent of your wages to give away? Seven per cent, next year, maybe fifteen per cent the year after? The only way to stop a snowball is to not make it or allow it to be made to start with. We are bowing under the

Censorship To the editor, Where there is sex, read “sexism.” Where there is pornography, read “discrimination against women,” and draw comparisons with hate literature. A. Heeds and J. Hollands wrote an opinion piece in the March 23 issue entitled “Imprint standards?” in which they accuse J. Hagey of asking offensive questions instead of useful and interesting ones, in his interview of porn star Erica Boyer. They proceed to tell us the question that offended them: “So what is your advice to young lovers today?” In case you’re confused, this is offensive because it implies that a porn star can be a “role model” (if this constitutes making her one) or that she can perhaps have a valid opinion about sexuality, which of course, she can’t. {Nope, nothi@ offensive or discriminatory here, folks.) They also complain that Hagey didn’t make an issue out of “state boards” and ‘Marilyn Chambers,” nor bombard us with his dpinion in an interview. Instead, he &owed his interviewee to speak freely. Hagey posed questions that were both provocative and allowed Erica room to air her views.

pressure of everyone in our back pockets now. Our arrogant government is already hiring a new secret service of tax collectors before it is law. We can still change this, even if the mission seems hopeless. We have one hope left - to sway our MPs to vote a no confidence vote against their own party; to vote with the people. We the people have to exert this pressure on our own MPs. We have to stand up and be counted. It is time to protest this atrocity by action, not apathy. We want to form a public demonstration across Canada on Sunday, May 13, Mother’s Day. This is our war. A nation-wide, exact same time protest. We are asking for volunteers in each community in Canada to head their demonstrations. We will picket the city halls and town offices across this great country all at the same time. Write to me now and help coordinate this public outcry. It won’t be a big job. Just get the word out to people. Time is short - write today to Mrs. Debbie Dunn, 4802A - 51 Avenue, Red Deer, AB.

offhsive! And what- did she have to say? I encourage everyone to read the interview if you haven’t already. It’s in the March 16 issue. Clearly, Erica does not see herself as a victim. She’s proud of her profession, and feels in control of her career. She also advocates safe sex as a first concern, caring for your partner, and a non-judgmental attitude about trying new things. Perhaps this is really what disturbs Heeds and Hollands. A porn star has been treated with respect, and has actually come across as being respectable. A. Heeds and J. Hollands claim that the Erica Boyer interview “was an offensive article and should not have been run in Imprint,” and also claim that they are “not advocating censorship, merely editorial standards.”

Despite the very real possibility of legal action under human rights legislation, the committee decided to defer its decision on eligibility pending a public meeting ‘to discuss daycare in the Waterloo region.

No juice thieves please To the editor, On March 3, South Campus Hall management cancelled our presentation of Noisefloor and The Gathering (See “New music hits sour note,” March 16). At that time South Campus Hall management held several misconceptions about the nature of the New Music Club which have now been cleared up. Also, several measures have been taken to insure that both the NMC and SCH feel secure with the plans for future events. . The NMC has agreed to allow SCH employees to staff the door; and NMC has organized a small team of bouncers to insure the safety of students, and prevent damage to the hall. The NMC__ feels~ these measures are reasonable and responsible. We are pleased with the administrations new positive attitude towards our activities. .

Noisefloor, The Proles, and Jizmo have been lined up for a show tommorow night (Saturday, March 31) at South Campus Hall, in the Festival Room. We would like to extend our gratitude to Noisefloor for agreeing to return to SCH. We also extend our apologies to The Gathering: the cancelled March 3 show was to be their last ever performance; and apologies to the. many people who made the effort to come out for the show.

NMC is a non-profit, Federation recognized organization dedicated to the promotion of the local alternative mu& scene. Our mementirely of consists bership volunteers, and our activities are aimed specifically at the UW student population. We can be reached via the Federation of Students. Justin Wells NMC Chairperson

It is important that our position is heard at this meeting; there will be many other issues justifying the problem in light of harsh federal budget cutbacks, the usual cabal of antidaycare enthusiasts, and the very scary attitudes those who think it is unreasonable to extend eligibility to those students who “may not be pursuing something practical.” This is an issue of discrimination and must not get lost in the shuffle. We, members of the daycare committee of the Graduate Student Association, will attend this public meeting, and urgently request the support of students and their families. Please contact the GSA office (8851211, ext, 3634) for more information. Stephanie Mehta Wendy Ewara Annie Steinhauer Brad Kuntz graduate students GSA Daycare Committee

Eat better

To Your Health It’s not necessary to spend a fortune to maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Saving on food costs is easy if you’re willing to put a little time into planning and comparison shopping. Planning should begin at home. The first thing you should do is decide which store offers you the best deals for most of what you want to get. Advertising flyers from nearby grocery stores are a good place to start. If it’s dry goods (canned vegetables, pasta, fruit juice, etc.) you need, consider a store such as Valdi, where prices are up to 30% less than larger stores (there is a Valdi at University and Weber in Waterloo). Alternatively, if you need meat, cheese, and produce, consider one of the 1ocaI farmers’ markets. The FEDS provide a free van to and from these markets on Saturday mornings, Ieaving from the Campus Centre. Before heading for the store or market, create a weekly menu based on Canada’s Food Guide (2 servings milk and milk products; 2 servings meat, fish, poultry and alternates; 4-5 servings fruits and vegetables; 3-5 servings breads and cereals daily). Menu planning allows you to have nutritious meals while taking advantage of advertised specials. It also helps to eliminate waste by allowing you to plan for’ using up left-overs; especially perishable foods. Make a shopping lit from this menu plan (or better yet, add the plan to a list you’ve been keeping on the fridge to add to as groceries run out). This list will help to keep you on track when you’re in the store, and will eliminate the

for less need to run to more expensive convenience stores between shopping trips. Once you reach the store, taking a few extra minutes in choosing foods that can help you save even more. Try store and no-name brands which are generally cheaper than their brand-name counterparts. Buy food in larger sizes, and divide it into smaller packages yourself. Try less expensive cuts of meat which are just as nutritious and simply require marination before cooking Choose fresh fruits and vegetables that are in season, or buy them frozen out of season and save money without sacrificing nutrition. Once you’ve filled your basket and reached the checkout counter, watch the cash register: Mistakes made at this point could cancel out all your shopping efforts. Yes, you can have fun and eat well even when you’re on a budget. For health-related information, see the volunteers at the Health and Safety Resource Network in Room 121 of the Health and Safety building (across from the campus centre) or call 885-1211 ext. 6277. Note: In the March 16 column FumiZy &/exe, the services provided by Anselma House were not mentioned. Anselma House provides teniporary emergency shelter for women who have been physically or emotionlly abused. The phone number for their 24hour Crisis Line is 742-5894.

Sorry to burst the multicultural bubble, but this fallacy should be laid to rest. Canada is a melting pot! Rather than the burner being on high like the Americans, our burner is just on simmer. Not only white Anglo-Saxon Protestants fear change; count the Sikhs and every other homogeneous culture in the “fear” catagory also. Long term universality is for the RCMP, short term multiculturalism is for your personal lives. As I see it, the difficult part to sorting out our cultural dilemma is getting our Charter of Rights fixed to everyone’s satisfaction Get rid of that extraneous stuff; throw Meech Lake into Meech Lake! Unfortunately, my gut feeling also tells me that Trudeau in Towmis CIJust Shciep.- t/w Thckau Yunrs is right in saying “Alas, by now it is clear that barring a sharp change of course our Great Helmsman (MuIroney) is indeed steering us toward peace and reconciliationthe kind to be found in graveyards of the deep”.

Ir ” To the editor, Undoubtably, you are acquainted with our term of endearment for Needle Hall: “Needless Hell,” The stress associated with this building is due mostly to the worry and frustration inherent in school life married with the “co-op experience.” I have a bone to pick. I have heard others with the same problem. The receptionists employed here make this one hell of an experience, all right. Is not the job of receptionist to offer support and assistance? To provide “reception”?

Toward the contrary, it seems that some of them here attempt to make life for the student miserable . . .

almost go orit of their way to let them know that students are the very least of their worries. (Il’m sorry, ma’m. Don’t let me interru t your conversation. I think your co if ee is getting cold I, *. . ) It has been said that students are the stupidest people alive. They pay to come to school, to participate in the mental anguish gladly offered by an institution of such grand repute as UW. I also think we are sometimes ungrateful bastards and don’t know our place. Some don’t care who they step on. . . but some do. Some try. We try to make something of ourselves. Is that so wrong? I don’t think we all deserve to be treated like pimps and slavetraders I have enough trouble keeping my head above the water without the problems that Needles Hall throws at me. But that 1 can deal with. I got myself into it. But I refuse to subsidize the eight hour coffee breaks of some bitter receptionist who seems to be going through mid-life crisis and taking it out on me.

going to behave in this Lay.” In response to a critical awareness created by incidents of sexual assault on campus, Chief Librarian, Murray Shepherd and Associate Librarian, Bruce MacNeil, have initiated plans to install cameras in the #Dana Porter Arts Library to deter acts of sexual deviants there. Two cameras will be installed. One will be placed on the back wall situated near the Information Desk of the second floor. The other will be placed in the corridor of the receiving dock. The cameras will be recording constantly while the library remains open. The new camera svstek will film the faces of people ehtering the library so that in case of sexual assault, the victim will be able to identify the perpetrator from videotape. Cunsequently, UW Police will have a suspect to help their investigation.

No known case of sexual assault has occurred at the EMS Library in the Davis Centre. Shepherd attributes this to its large, but widesetting. According to open, Shepherd, the administration’s focus is definitely on the Arts Library. Shepherd contends that three incidents are sufficient justification for installing a SurveiIlance system. Shepherd says, “We only need one (incident) to be serious. We’d be in a lot of trouble if a possible solution was presented to us and we didn’t take it. For a few thousand dollars it could prevent trauma to an individuil for a lifetime.”

Surveillance on the part of UW Police, both plainclothes and uniformed, will supplement the students’ effort. Posters will be placed throughout the Librarv to matie DeoDle awire that thev, are’on UW cz&dib camera.

The initiative comes in the wake of three “flashing” incidents in the last six months - a drastic increase from a previous average of one incident every other year.

One thing seems clear, the ghost will not come out in the rain (but it will in the snow). But McClelland was impressed with the number of credible witnesses who claim to see it routinely. The road is now so popular that the Port Perry police regularly patrol it every evening. A myriad of possible explanations have been offered, but so far, none is convincing. Some have suggested swamp gas as the culprit, but swamp gas has never been seen in the area and presumably, its effect would be retarded in the winter. Others suggest that the white and red lights are reflections from automobfles on a concession road further along the island. A careful

Students demand thatprof be fired! More than 200 student protesters occupied Western’s psychology department and called for Philippe Rushton’s dismissal. The demonstration began in the University Community Centre with several speeches from anti-racism activists. It was organized by Western’s Academic Coalition for Equality. They said the psychology professor’s theory of genetic differences between blacks, whites, and Orientals is racist. The protestors, some coming from such universities as York, Guelph and Toronto, marched to the psychology department in the Social Science Centre, pounding on walls and stomping on the floor. They shouted “Hey Western have you heard, this is not Johannesburg!” One protester scrawled “racist pig lives here” on Rushton’s door. The protester then marched to the Stevenson Lawson building to occupy the hallway outside Western President George Pedersen’s office for about 30 minutes before returning to the UCC. University police watched the demonstration but did not intervene. Assistant Director of the police said there were several complaints but no charges were laid.

Attention graduating students! Classes are almost over and the real world awaits, you will be able to leave UW and start a new life. Hopefully you wiI1 come back for reunions and the better-than-ever Homecoming weekend. When you do come back for a visit, remember to walk down Alumni Lane between Math and Computer and Bert Matthews Hall, where you might find the tree your class donated to the UW campus. In 1987, a questionnaire was distributed to all graduating students. The overwhelming response to the idea of a tree as a senior class present Student Alumni prompted the Association to organize each faculty in raising money to plant a tree every year. In 1988, the first tree was plan-

This year, interest is not as high with close to 3000 graduating students, only $800 has to be raised. Each student is asked to donate $1. Raising enough money should not be a problem, but it is. Every graduating student receives an envelope in their intent to graduate forms, and donation boxes are available in every society office, the Fed office, and South Campus HalI room 227. The Student Alumni Ass&ation is asking graduating students to donate their $1. This is a worthy project that leaves the campus with a different species of tree each year. Not only is it good for the environment, it adds some tradition to the university. When completed, the lane will have trees representing classes from 1962 to the present.

AII investigation is now underway into allegations of sexual harassment and gross professional misconduti at the university’s faculty of medicine. In total, five charges have been brought against professors in the faculty. Two of the complaints concern incidents of sexual harassment, while the other three involve faiIure on the part of staff to respond to an alleged knowIedge of the incidents. The formal complaint was lodged by a femaie graduate student who has since left the university. Several other students made some informal allegations concerning the behavior of the professors. They complained that faculty members had held drinking parties in the labs and they also cited an incident where a tank made for btiy temperature experiments was used as a hot tub.

We at Metropolis Salon, Frenzi Hair, Pino Hair Studio, Salon Insieme, David’s Hair Salon, the Dark Room in Guelph and other hair salons are proud to carry personal care products which are entionmentally safe and which are manufactured - by active Earth aY participants. in December 1989, Aved&Zoras a result “-of _ ‘their poration, philosophy and actions, becad the first U.S. corporation to sign the Valdez principles, the most rigorous set of environmental guidelines ever developed for the nation’s business and corporations. The Valdez principles are a set of ten guidelines for corporate conduct on the environment which have been drafted by a coalition of leading environmental organizations, of which Earth Day 1990 is one. Aveda meets all the strict requirements of the Valdez corporate code of ethics. Further, in recognition of his many activities in support of the environment, and for his leadership in corporate environmental responsibility, Horst Rechelbacher, founder and CEO of Aveda Corporation, has

joined the board of Earth Day 1990 at the request of Denis Hayes, founder . of Earth Day., Aveda Corporation is an official sponsor of Earth Day 1990, and is the on!v salon-distributed line of products invited to be part of the Earth Day 1990 program. They have been working since 1978 to develop their line of natural beauty and health care products.

Their motto is “Protect the planet, protect the people”

WhiIe Aveda has taken a leading role in the development of enwonmentally safe hair care and beauty products, other companies are folIowing suit. Joico International has recently started a program of environmental preservation entitled “Our World, Our Future.” Sebastian has also recently said that they have “environmentally consciotis products” following their new motto “Protect the planet, protect the people.” Herbs, whole food and pure essences from flowers are the main ingredients that are used to make Aveda; the purest, healthiest and safest line of health and beauty products today. Every day, new evidence

Planet

in peril - what will you do?

friendly is found further proving that synthetics are dangerous to maintaining a healthy body and environment; therefore, it is essential to use internally and externally, products free from synthetics, petroleum derivatives and other artificial ingredients. Aveda carries a full lime of biodegradable hair care products packaged in recyclable plastic. They are as gentle to your hair and scalp as they are to the environment. Further, they are not animal tested. Unlike other shampoos which coat the the hair with waxes, animal fats, proteins and plastics, Aveda aromatherapy herbal shampoos don’t use any coating bases. The result is natural-feeling hair which non-organic shampoos cannot give you. The shampoo contains no artificial detergents - the cleansers are derived from coconut and palm oils to help retain a balanced scalp. There are currently six shampoos in the line - five specially formulated for different hair colours and, the sixth “Shampure,” which is manufactured using a unique cold-processing technique. As a bonus, Avecia products are priced in the same range as other salon products, despite the effort which has gone into ensuring their quality and environmental friendliness. Aveda also manufactures a complete line of conditioners and styling

hair .salons

aids - all safe and all natural. Both ranges allow you to select the correct amount of conditioning and hold which your hair needs. Like the shampoos, when these products are washed down the drain, no harm is (done to the environment. Aveda has also developed an allnatural perrn, which is not only nondamaging to hair and the environment, but is also free from the unpleasant odour usually associated with perms. The company is also working on a new perm formulation which.will be so harmless that Horst Rechelbacher will drink it onstage at the next Aveda Congress. A new line of all-natural hair colour is currently under development. The second aspect of the Aveda line are the skin care products which are based upon “calming;” and “energizing” fdrmulations to-balance the skin to normal oil levels. The third aspect of the skin care are the “Infusions” which are blends of natural oils and other ingredients designed for therapeutic effects on all skin types. Bodily toxins are released through the skin and hair, Aveda pro,ducts actually extract these toxins leaving you looking and feeling healthier. The Indra line of naturally and organictilly derived cosmetics is the third part of the Aveda line of beauty and health care products. Along with foundations and concealers, the Indra

line contains a full range of lip and eye pencils, mascara and an array of blush. The 28 shades of eyeshadow are derived from stones, minerals and flowers actually used to create the shades. The most unique product in the lndra line are the “Aromatherapy Lip Colours” which use extracts of peppermint to create a breath-freshening lipstick that tingles when applied. Further, basil atid anise have been added to aid in digestion. The idea of “Earth Day” is that we must consider the fate of our planet and the environmental ramifications of everything we do. Aveda products come from nature and return to nature without harming the environment. They are one way in which you can benefit both yourself - through improved health - and the environment.

A pre-election goody?

Rouae -

by Phillip Chee

Imprintstaff

Monday, March 26, 1990 will be celebrated as a victory for the environmental movement, and anyone else concerned with our natural surroundings. Ontario Premier, David Peterson, announced the crea-

to be saved

River

Valley

environmentally,. scientifically, and archaeologically significant - areas, that members of a local environmentalgrouphave fought to preserve. Jim Robb, chairman of the Save the Rouge Valley System, declared, “the government has ruled the right way on this one.” However, he says, the battle is not finished. He stated that this only represents 12% of the Rouge - watershed.

The area will atrophy if the surrounding areas in the regions outside of Metro are not looked after too. One of the pressing concerns will be how MetroToronto proceeds with its plan to open a 55-hectare tract of land in the northeast comer of the area, for a waste disposal site. A local resident admitted t&t Toronto would be the laughing stock of the worid by having a garbage dump in a protected provincial park.

Metro Toronto says it will consider other options before deciding if the Rouge site &ll be their final choice for a garbage dump. Metro Chairman, AllanTonks says it will only be a “last resort” if no other sites are suitable. Some observers have commented that the province’s timing of the

announcement to save the Rouge Valley looks more than coincidental to a pre-election campaign goody. Regardless of the political advantage the government may hope to earn, the important issue is that the province has taken a positive step in saving the environm>nt. x

In the case of Jeff Healey, all the advantages and privileges of sight were put into his hands and voice, to master his musical talents. The Jeff Healey Band, featuring the genius blues guitarist, songwriter and singer, brought a near sellout crowd of 500 fans to its feet on numerous occasions, during a CKCO-TV “On Stage” taping session at Fed Ha11 Monday, March 19. The last time yours truly saw an “On Stage” taping session, The Spoons were there. No offence to the band, but it was a disaster. They lipsynchronized every song and the entire crowd felt cheated out of a “live”performance. Plus, the opening song had to be done four times because the CD player kept skipping. Standard procedure for the prerecording of shows is to do a take, review it, and either do another take or go on to *e next song. With the wizardry of Jeff Healey

and his two man support band, not one pause was needed between songs for review. He&y put on a fIawIes pexfomance with the hi@@hb from the &w fhe tighf album If you were compIeteIy oblivhs to the T.V. -eras, crew, .~~~~wouUswearit wasa VIP!!f!F?F+.-. I . 1 . I . . •‘u:~‘,.evvv. q-1 ..

tion. To say that Mummenschanz is animated sculpture would not do them proper justice, although it would be a start. Every skit was like an abstract painting come to life. The bare traces of a gesture, a dream, an emotion are presented in silence with a skill that has, itself, a dumbing effect. A thread swirls through space creating squiggles that mutate into faces. A blob tries valiantly to conquer the box. Two huge inflated bodies fight in slow motion then embrace in forgiveness. MTre description is futile, these are moments of visual delight.

The simplicity of each skit allows for individual interpretations. In one skit an unrolled carpet coma back on itself. The two ends grope and touch each other resembling a fight, a caress, a rape. The unassuming gentleness of each skit draws the audience in, and much too late our curiosity reveals the biting side to these impressions of life. After the curtain had closed the expressions of the absurdly and drama of hate, the fragility and comedy of love displayed quietly by Mummenschanz begin to register. Like fine Origami sculptures they inspired and entertained, while at the same time produced awe for those who could craft such elegant pieces from human existence.

In the opening number,‘ Healey struck his signdture pose - sitting in his chair, guitar flaton his lap, walking his lightning quick fingers up arid down the strings - and received a thundering round of applause. Then one of Healey’s roadies walked out and replaced the guitar on his lap with a double neck model for the song “Life Beyond .The Sky.” Healey stood up to venture around the stage during his first of many hot guitar solos.

He followed that up with an amazing rendition of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” written by longtime friend George Harrison. The highlight of the opening set for the ecstatic crowd was ‘Roadhouse + Blues”,.a trick from a movie last summer which really put The Jeff Healey Band on the inap in Yankeeville.’ A fifteen minute break between sets seemed like an eternity for the unusually wound up Monday night crowd. Mumentum built up even more in the second set. The group played the

track ‘I Think I Love You Too Much” followed bv the smash hit love ballad “Angel E$s” (written by John Hi&). But the c&nax of the entire evening was the song “see The IA&&” from .the Phtinum: sdictg +brn of the samename.He&!ygdupinthemid&tiitandpLu&&@~an&xmi& l

Tonight, Fed Hall presents west coast sensations, Spirit of the West. During their so far relatively brief appearance in the public eye, Spirit of the West have won legions of fans with their unique blend of Celtic folk, alternative leatrings, and political stances. Their latest LP., Save this th&could House, is excellent and promises to preserve their status and hopefully expand it. Tomorrow night, Justin Wells, aka the New Music Club, presents Jizmo, with supp&?ing acts Noise F!ioor and the Roles at South Campus Hal. Jizmo has been described as “a sick joke on the music world” and “aesthetic terrorists.” Make your own decision, but remember, the accent’s on vh$.kk Sunday night, the Princess Theatre is bringing Andrew Cash and the Skydiggers. Cash puts on a great show, and his reputation is strong and well founded here in southern Ontario. Though Cash is probably sick of hearing this, he used to be in a great band called L’Etranger. If we’re all lucky, he’ll pull out some of their chestnuts (he wrote ‘em anyway). On April Fools Day, Jane Siberry rolls her caravan into the Humanities Theatre. Siberry is a well known Toronto singer and song writer who -used to play W on the village green for free. And that’s no April Fools. My Alma Mater (actually, a joint venture by St. Mary’s and St. Jerome’s High Schools} is presenting Jesus Christ Super Star, written by the Cats dude, Andrew Lloyd Weber.

on Uillean pipes (pronounced aian) and tin whistles sounded thoroughly lrish even when playing the Chinese folk song “Full of Joy.” Kevin Conneff on bodhran (pronounced bore’aun) also led a couple of great ditties such as ‘The Salt” (which, when sung with his wit and sensitivity) lost its .morbidness. The group bandstanded through “Drowsey Maggie,” in which each player had his say before coming round again to the main theme. The Scottish waltz “Give Me Your Hand” was a lovely closing piece. Of coume the audience refused to leave, so The Chieftains came out once more to play their Music from Treasure Island and left us with a vision of Jean Butler dancing out the last chords of “Morning Dew.“.

The recording sounds like the master tape was put in a washing machine with some pumice for that worn, comfortable sound. Think about it for a few minutes and you11 realize how lame the whole idea of Thee Headcoats is. Who reallv wants to listen to really boring so&s done in a style that ignores the last thirty years or so. Chuck Berry was fine way back w&en but his music means n&$ng to me. To build a musical career@n trying to simulate that creaky old sound is nothing short of pathetic. Get it together guys, not even Chuck is putting out records .these days; instead he treads the golden oldies circuit wisely milking the nostalgia hounds for all he can get. Since these guys aren’t sixty years old, black, or “legendary” they are wasting.their time. All ti all a fairly shit record.

They were decimated by a larger enemy force, and ~11anybody knows about them is found in the poem. Going the

Rock and roll, or whatever you call it, needs a rhythmic tradition to meld with, if it is at all to tread past its already ill-defined and defended borders. Celtic drum music fits the bill.

Back in the sixties, bands experimented with adding symphonic elements to their music. Though the Moody Blues were the main culprits, l’rocul Harum followed suit, and even the Beatles fell prey to this affliction. Thissynthesisoftheclassiiandthe avante garde pro-forthetimeduced mostly nightmare music devoid of classical passion and rock ‘n roll immediacy. Procul Harum’s “Conquistidor” was deservedly lost in the mist of time, but it merely left the Moody Blues to haunt us with “Nights In White Satin” on solid gold music stations. And the legacy has lived on with Toti Cochrane in the nineties.

Though I’d hardly want to call Test Department rock and roll; their brand of noise depends more on the bag pipe than the Rickenbacker. But ;I&ertheless, they have come out of the pop culture and do channel their particular brand of aggression through means that are in the broadest sense rock and roll (rebellion) and in the narrowest sense, alternative.

‘The montaignais language (innu Aionun) has no equivalent for the word ‘music.’ To us, music is everywhere; it vibrates through everything” (Kashtin). So Kashtin prefaced. This philosophy is reflected both in lyric and style of singing. A rough translation of each song is included on the album jacket; the songs are all in Innu Aionun. Delightful south American and strains dominate the calypso instrumentals; bluegrass and folk flavour this mix. And very fittingly. The very gentle, and beautiful songs can only be faulted for music that very occasionally sounds like it was piped in from the nearest elevator (not that is necessarily bad, just inappropriate in the Kashtin context). Powerful vocal expression annihilates any larguage barriers. Ku&in is a reaching heart rending album.

FILM

30, 1990

Hear us, 0 Lord of the Flies by Sandy Atwal Imprint staff Seei+g the 1990 film adaptWon of William Gelding’s novel Lord offhe Fh. is validly at the bottom of many

people’s list of priorities.

I say validly

for two main reasons. First of all, an adaptation from a book to a movie is like interpreting a book from one language into another - something is undoubtedly going to be lost in the translation, and fans of Gelding are going to have many reservations about anyone (in effect) rewriting the book. In addition to this, several changes were made to the movie from the book. The boys are now American and from a military academy. These things aside, I went back to visit Piggy, Ralph, Jack and the boys. The opening underwater scene of the movie is one of its highlights. After a few seconds of scenery, the body of a man floats past the camera, blood flowing from his mouth. The man is rescued by some boys in military garb, a raft is inflated, and the boys float into the bay of an island and the adventure begins. The first scene is a good example of most of the exceptional cinematography in the film. Later scenes of the fire watch and the pig hunting have nature as the predominate image. This works on both a visual and psychological level. The shots of lush forest with all of its variety and natural beauty create an aesthetic quality not possible with

mantide sets (the movie was shot in Jamaica). At the same time, the theme of society

being only a thin, easily

tom v&l hiding our natural savage state is supported by presenting

nature in a position of great power. Most of the scenes do present nature in a position of authority, such as during the pig hunts when it is nature which comes between the boys and the camera, shielding, hiding them from the audience. The advantage film has, of being primarily a visual medium can be used not only to create visual motifs, but can also update certain mental pictures. This works well with the boys in this movie because their clothes, one of the few tangible representations of society that are in the movie, gradually erode as do the representations of society that the boys carry via their demeanor and the characteristics of their behaviour. This is not as evident in the book. The movie makes sure to represent this equallyRalph and Piggy are more civilized than Jack and the hunters, and their clothes reflect this. The problem of straying from the text of the original book becomes evident when the structure on the island starts to fall apart. The breakdown of society when it is not enforced by certain conventions, like tea-time and television, is a theme in both the movie and the book. The difference that the movie makes takes away considerably from this idea. I3eing from a military academy, Ihr but3 have already hwr~ rtmvv~d~mn socw~. The rigid social framework which is in questi.on is not as strong in the tiilitary which is almost by definition, outside of society. This weakens the movie somewhat, but a comparison between original texts and adap tations is not always the best way of critiquing movies, and the advantages, at least in this case, counter this

drone of the flies as they buzz about the rotting pig’s head evoke a strong feeling of disgust and nausea. Unfortunately, the pig does not talk, or convey anything via a dream to Simon, which would have added to the disturbing imagery. When Simon’s face is lit up by the lightning, and the

entire audience jumps, you realize the tension that the movie has built. Nature is used here to help develop Simon’s character. character development ‘is extremely well presented, especially with Piggy. Unlike many movies, you don’t feel like you know everything about the characters. AfIer all, they are kids and are still developing themselves. Add this to the fact that they are in a totally alien environment and you then realize how well the movie evolves. The movie

reactions at the point of the two deaths. Simon’s is incredibly violent and very gruesome. Mistaken as the ambiguous ‘kast”, Simon is skewered by the hunters, and when the lighting lights him up this time, he is face down on the beach with only an almost unrecognizable mess of flesh, his back practically torn from his body. Piggy’s death is similarily revolting. As his shouts of “I’ve got the conch” ring out, the movie goes to

More correctly, however, we can pinpoint the unity of artistic goals as a function of geography and hence similarity of environment. The phenomenon that requires further exploration is not this con‘ventional vision of past supporting present. A fundamental change has taken place within the artistic community that lends authority to a completeljr new artistic feature. “Facadism” cuts across all artistic media. A new aesthetic ideal, it is not ashamed of cultural memory. As an aesthetic ideal, it is predicated upon the purchase of a new burden suffioutcries of cient ’ to subdue plagiarism. An extension of neo-classicist and post-modem traditions, facadism is most easily visualized in architectural terms. In discussion, musical terms, though more nebulous, can provide interesting topography in examination of this surface aesthetic. Hip hop has popularized the term “sampling.” In the genre, sampling is defined as a technological extension of the fashioning of “break beats” -the practice of mixing the “breaks;” the most rhythmic parts of songs into a seamless danceable mix. This was done by using two copies of a record and mixing back and forth between the same song segments. Electronic sampling allows the building of a more dense dance collage. Sampling in this discussion is applied not so rigorouSly. The sample is a direct confiscation from one artistic work for the purpose of transposition into another piece. The act of sampling occurs within many media. Television, music, literature and architecture will form the basis for this discourse.

Probing the legitimacy of the sample is an important step in understanding the concept of facadism. Architecture will serve. In London, Ontario, there existed for a time an armoury for the Canadian Armed Forces. The property was purchased under the auspices of the Sheraton Group for the purpose of building a hotel property. Architectural preservation activist groups were outraged that this civic landmark would be razed, and in its pl$ce, erected a steel and glass tower. Fearing the loss of the right to develop the property, Sheraton commissioned its architects to incorporate a major portion of the armoury into the structure of the hotel. The result is a steel and glass tower piercing the skin of the armoury and a lovely canvas portal proclaiming to the boulevard, “the Sheraton Armouries Hotel”. Inside the building, there are no signs that the armoury ever was. The structure has been altered to accommodate a bar, an edenic swimming pool and a dining room. There is little sense that the building ever was a warehouse. Fundamentally, this change has done Iittle than preserve the surface. Toronto architect, Jack London, in a CBC radio interview com&ined that much of the “preservati&” effort in Toronto was f&used upon the protection of the street-fronts. Justification for preservation is stretched beyond t6e boundaries of necessity when the really interesting anh significant portions are happily plattered for the wrecking ball.

concern umkd.i.nes the surface nature of popular ideas for the :mMming of a city’s budding

7eritage. As a city plays iconographic hide and seek, shivering behind symbols Bf its friendly, desirable past, it attempts to preserve whatever dignity is left as it sprawls. Traditional growth of the city cycles from expansion to stagnation, demolition and renewal. SKunning a perceived destruction of metrGpolitan life is to admit a cancer of hidden decay. These notions cannot hold all fractionation illegitimate but should raise questions about environmental awareness. Are societies too frequently masking and restraining wholistic renewal? This important question focuses attention uoon two issues,

served by at least two masters. OriginaI context of the sample and context within the new work will conflict. Additional error value is added as readers are unfamiliar with the entirety of the sampled text. Density within the medium of television is served well by sampling. MTV is currently producing a weekly television magazine, Buzz, consisting of a collage of video images and sound and voice. The samples chosen are not necessarily obvious nor always identified. The culling of the images however allows for freedom of assembly and the half hour program is a blur with images appearing every .36 seconds. Identifiability is not the manifest

Within music, the sample is used in distinctly different formats. Capture of acoustic and recapitulation was the patent instruments implementation for recent electronic technology. Significant use of sampling has occurred most evidently in hip hop. Artists who are sampled often lament the usage of their work Mostly unidentified, it can appear peripherally within a mix, but often, a +hrase can become the backbone for an entire tune. Complicating matters are laws which are ambiguous in interpretation. Before a work can be considered as plagiarism, it must be recognized as containing more than two continuous uninterrupted bars of music

necessarily musical. But the collage is made dense with the layering of samples. Humour is added when artists begin sampling their own work. Stripping away surfaces when confronted with examples of facadism allows us an understanding of current culture. ignorance is no excuse. The manipulation of taste can only be resolved when ,those subject

can separate themselves horn the media and visualize its creation. Actual sampling techniques are facile in use and understanding. Perhaps by realizing its employment can facadism redistribute itself as something beyond topography. There is a place for its inclusion in the continual construction of cultural memory.

by Rich Nichol Imprint staff Another successful season in University of Waterloo varsity sports officially ended on Friday, March 23 with the 29th annual athletic awards banquet at the Waterloo Motor Inn. Warrior hockey superstar goaltender Mike Bishop took the prestigious Totzke Trophy as the top male athlete of the year. Two weeks ago, he received the highest award given in university hockey, the Senator Joseph A. Sullivan Trophy, as the country’s most outstanding player. Bishop ended his four-year career at Waterloo with a third consecutive All-Canadian selection. He wqn CIAU rookie of the year in 1986-87. Among Bishop’s other endless achievements are all-star and MVP honours in virtually every toumament the Warriors have participated. The Hildegard Marsden ‘Trophy (also named the Dean of Women’s Award) for the outstanding female athlete of the year went to Marcela Krajny, a fifth-year player on the Athena tennis team. In five years of singles and doubles competition, Krajny collected two gold medals, one silver, and six bronze, including a share of the OWIAA doubles championship in her rookie year. She has been named MVP of the team in her final two seasons along with Ontario all-star status in 1987-88 and 1988-89.

Imprint’s highly lauded Coach of the Year Award went to Warrior football god Dave “Tuffy” Knight, who previously received the ClAU Coach of the Year honour. In his first season on the sidelines, Knight changed a frustrating five year 30 game losing streak into a 4-3 record in 1989. The Cinderella season brought the Warriors into their first playoff appearance in 11 years. Other nominees were Lynn Hoyles - Athena soccer (OWIAA West Coach of the Year), Don McCrae - Warrior basketball, Don McKee Warrior hockey (CIAU Coach of the Year), and Scott Shantz - Warrior volleyball (OUAA Coach of the Year).

Gillies coached the men’s and women’s alpine ski teams for the past four years, served for three years on WIC, and was a trainer for the football Warriors in 1989. The WIC Award, presented annually to students r who have greatly contributed to WIC and to women’s sportsi was awarded to former Athena basketball guard Karen McCulla and field hockey veteran Maureen Owens. Both McCulla and . Owens produced and co-ordinated the video slide show, presented at the intermission of the awards banquet. Three new rGmes have been added to the prestigious University of Waterloo Athletic Hall of Fame. This year’s inductees were Owen Jones, Ruth Priddle, and Ron Hawkkhaw. Jones was a member of the Warrior volleyball team from 1982-83 until 1985-86. During his four year career, Jones led the team to four OUAA West championships, two provincial championships, and the consolation title at the nationals in 1984. He was named rookie of the year and team MVP in his freshman year. Priddle was” hired by UW in 1964 as ‘a dance ‘instru-ctor in the newly formed physical education department. She formed the first women’s basketball team at UW, helped set up competitive tournaments between the newer universities, and implemented the East-West Conference of Intercollegiate Athletics. In 1965, Priddle helped to organize women’s varsity teams in volleyball, field hockey, and badminton.

Now for sorne real athletes by Peter Brown Imprint staff Whether Gweebs or Intrepid, it’s the same result. Yes, the Athena basketball squad topped the improved Imprintcampus ret team 63-53, pulling out the victory with nine straight points before the buzzer. “It was a good workout,” comrnented Imprint starRich Nichol, O-3 from trcyland on the day. “A he11 of a lot better than that poncy sport they’re playin’ down in Florida right now.” The Intrepid were led, of course, by their only real advantage, the big men. Paul “Holcxxust” Done, Gerry ‘The Slasher” Schrauwen, and the newcomer Chris “Dali” Williams provided virtually all of the scoring and rebounds the Imprint squad could ever want.

But the Athenas ain’t varsity athletes for nothing, soon latching onto this strategy and beginning to

Meanwhile, Pete “Downtown” Brown broke out of his Thinker’ pose on the bench long enough to sub in for a few minutes. The women pulled away and increased their lead to 13 by halftime, 43-30. After an inspiring tutorial on defensive strategy pucon by Done at the bench, the Intrepid came out smoking in the second half, retutiing to their brilliantly obvious gameplan, Suddenly successful at pressing the Athenas’ outside shooting, the men pulled to within one point, 54-53, with a couple of minutes left.

The Athenas’ contention that the Imprint squad would be sucking wind by the final buzzer was refuted when the Lads issued a challenge for another game, only to witness the women crawling to the showers. They had obviously been pressed to their limits. Needless to say, the Intrepid routed the Athenas in the liquid portion of the competition at the Bombshelter.

Baseball preview Part 2:

A look at the American.LeagUe Pro Sports Report by Al EWiott Imprint staff Major League baseball’s delayed opening day is a week and a half away, so here’s a look at the upcoming- * season for the Ametican League, with team--by-team analysis and predicted finishes.

1. rm loronto Blue Jays: 1ne .Jays are .ledI Iby a strong pitching staff. Tom Her&e, Davidv hells, and Duane Ward give them the deepest ‘bullpen in the American League, while Dave Stieb, Jimmy Key, Todd Stottlemyre, and John Cerutti are all excellent starters. Fred McGriff, Tony Femandez, Kelly Gruber, and Manny Lee/Nelson Liriano give them as good an infield as there is in baseball. The big question is the- outfield. George Bell will . cat mp, 1lLLJlC m*r* Ulllt: am-... rl WI-l T\u anu --a WI-IO -.-l- - Knows 1 6jcL if Mookie Wilson is past his prime, Glenallen HiU and Junior Felix will have to produce. If they do, the Jays will cruise to their second straight title. 2. Miiwaukee Brewers: Brewers’ problem last year . _ --

best in the business. The Brewers have mrne offensive power with PauI Molitor, Robin Yount, Rob Deer, and free agent Dave Parker. The infield is questionable, with Molitor having the only solid spot. 3. Boston Red sox: Roger Clemens is one of the best, but the Sox starting pitching is very shaky after the Rocket. Free agent Jeff Reardon and Lee Smith give them a powerful bullpen. The departure of Nick &sky has created a big hole at first base. Wade Boggs and Mike Greenwell must produce the great statistics of which they are capable. 4. New York Yankees: The acquisition of Tim Learn and Pasqual Perez will help their s&tinrr staff, but uroblems &ill exist n& Righetti a&ears to be on his las%ii and the- bullpen is empty thereafterDon Mattingly, Steve Sax, and Dave Winfield can only do so much. 5. Baltimore Orioles: L&e the Cubs, the O’s played over their heads in 1989. Greg Olsen anchors a good bullpen, but the starters are questionable. Cal Ripken and Micky Tettleton are coming off great years. The outfield has a lot of pro11 t3rems. 6. Cleveland Indians: Reliever Doun Tones and ‘---CL” qtaftp= Greg Swinde~ “&i-?o&‘can&oti appear to be the only sources of hope for the Indians. The loss of Joe Carter will hurt. 7. Detroit T&em:

solid, but don’t have a big slugger to come up with quick runs at key times. 4. Texas Rangers: Free agent Gary Pettis fills a hole in centerfield and at the leadoff spot. Ruben Sierra and Julia France are great young players who may get even better. The major problem is behind the plate where ex-Blue Jay Gino Petralli ‘is the best candidate. 5. Seattle Mariners: The Mariners have some good young talent with Ken Griffey and Jay Buhner, but are still a long way from contention. 6. Minnesota Twins: The loss of Frank Viola and Jeff Reardon has decimated the Twins ‘$9 staff.- Kirby Puckett and Kent Hrbek z.2 will have sore backs from carrying their teams all year. 7.

Oy! it’s. Aussie .rules footba.ll by King&y

Ellis

Thrilling, exciting, spectacular, non-stop action. These are some of the words used to describe one of the world’s unique sports - Australian Rules football. This skiIlfu1 and action-packed game is now played here in Canada, beginning with the establishment in 1989 of the Canadian Australian Football Association. In that inaugural season, two teams were formed, the Toronto Panthers and the Mississauga Mustangs, and so high was the interest among Canadians and Canadian businesses that the 1990 season will see expansion to five cIubs. The new teams will be based in Scarborough, North York, and Hamilton. Contrary to popular opinion, Australian Rules is not a wild, no-n& melee, but is actually a strictly controlled, albeit non-stop game that requires a high level of personal fitness and mastery of some unique skills. Canadian players have relished the challenge of learning this new sport and their enthusiasm has resulted in a comparatively high standard of play that impressed visiting Australian officials and players at the CAFA’s Conacher Cup “Grand Final” day last October. The game truly has everything the thrill of no&top competition, the inner pleasure of attaining a very high level of fitness, and the easy camaraderie that follows with the fellowship of the sport. It’s a game ideally suited to the rugged, pioneering spirit of the Canadians as embodied by the CAFA’s president,

Bill Frampton - a Canadian who decided that Australian Rules had a place to fill in the Canadian sporting scene. The 1990 season kicks off with Aussie Rules Week starting April 2. The highI&@ of the week will be an 0pen House, held at the Ramada Inn 400/401 to unveil to members of the business, media, and athletic community our plans for the new season. The CAFA realizes that the future life-blood of the game in Canada will come from the youth and schools, and part of the 1990 plan revolves around junior development. A program specifically designed to present

the game to young children, and their parents and teachers, as an nonviolent, healthy, skillful activity, is being developed for promotion at the elementary school IeveL To the business community, Aussie Rules represents an ideal vehicle for sponsorship with its excitement factor and healthy image appealing to a wide segment of the population. The participation IeveI within the CAFA is not restricted to playing. The Association has opportunities of game officials, team administrators and training staff - and in each case there is a strong support program to ensure that the participant is fully

educated in the requirements of each position. Obviously, the CAFA’s primary is to attract more requirement players, and the main thrust of Aussie Rules Week will be to make more Candians aware of the benefits of joining in and having fun! To this end the CAFA has received full endorsement from the Australian football authorities as well as financial and maferial assistance.

in New Zealand and Great Britain. Communications between the CAFA and the British Australian Rules Football League have been established with both organizations resolving to make intentational competition a reality. So, the call is there for those Canadians looking for a sport * endeavour that’s a little different. Try Aussie Rules; it’s now Canadianmade. For more information, contact Bill Frampton at 335-5477, Sandro Mancino at 421-1167, Peter Gordon at 633-2301, or Malcolm Foletti at 821-

Australian Rules also offers the promise of international competition. As well as the annual Foster’s Cup visit and game by Australian teams, competitions have now been started
