Rents rising faster than provincial

standard

on Phillip St..

Niahtmare by David Thomson and Tina Hefferm Imprint St& A perennial problem for Waterloo students, aside from the co-op program and Needles Hall, is landlords. Kaimor Management Limited has been the “landlord” of the 68 residential units at 256 Phillip Street in Waterloo (the townhouses closest to the new University Pl*) since 1988, when they purchased the units for $5.1 milIion. Since this time, there have been numerable incidents of the landlord over-charging the students for rent. But first, _ a little background. The Ontario Ministry of Housing regulates by what percentage landlords can lawfully increasetheir rental charges. A landlord can apply for an increase higher than what the government allows if they can justify it, such asfor pools, porches, or other building additions. Once the landlord has submitted the application, they can start charging tenants the proposed rent, with the assumption that the application will get passed. lf, for example, the landlord is proposing an eight percent increase, and the government has set a four percent maximum rent increase for the year, the tenant will likely be asked to pay the proposed eight percent increase. Even though the tenant is only required to pay the four percent, it is to the advantage of tenants (especially poorer ones, like students) to pay the eight percent, because the extra four percent is

applicable retroactively if the application is approved four or six months later. If the application is dismissed by the Ministry of Housing, the landlord has the option of appealing the decision. If it is dismissed again, or the landlord doesn’t appeal the initial decision, they are obIigated to refund

to tenants any money they may have paid that exceeds the Ministry’s allowable increase. Kaimor Management Limited, the landlord of 256 Phillip Street, has a history of filing for increases larger than the Ministry’s maximum lawful increase, which usually get dismissed, appealed, and then dismissed again.

The residents of the 68 units at 256 Phillip Street are overwhelmingly shtdents, the majority of whom are not there for longer than one or two terms at a time. The implications of this are that by the time an application for an increase in rent over the maximum limit has been filed, dismissed, appealed, and dismissed again, students who have trusted the landlord or for whatever other reason have paid the extra money requested are usually no longer around to collect any refunds they are entitled to.

Another tenant ‘who has been residing there for a number of years recently found out that he/she was owed approximately $5,500 as a result of over-charging. Yet another complain! resulted in the Ministry ordering Kaimor to pay back over $400 to a tenant. The latest notice sent to the tenants was one which stated that the landlord was proposing a rent increase of ten percent, effective September 1990.The Ministry of Housing hasset a maximum allowable rent increase of 4.6 percent for 1990%.

By talking to residents of the complex, Imprint has coIlected notices from the Ministry of Housing referring to five different applications to charge higher than the maximum rent, that were dismissed. When these applications are dismissed, the Ministry of Housing sends out notices to the tenants of the building notifying them that they are eligible for refunds if they have paid the higher-than-maximum rent charge. It is not known what effort Kaimor Management makes to track down tenants who have moved and are eligible for refunds.

When asked what the rationale for the ten percent increase was, Kaimor Management bited told Imprint that it was likely due to either maintenance or financing costs. The person who answered the phone would not comment further.

Last year, one unit was being charged - and the tenants were paying - gteater than $200 per month ‘more than they lawfully were required to. The tenants eventually complained, and the Ministry ordered Kaimor Management to pay back nearly $1,900 that they had over-charged during an eight-month period.

Hagey ended hiB speech remarking “censorship is the problem, not the solution.” Vice-President Federation (University Affairs) Kim Speers spoke briefly and then invited questions and comments from the crowd. The questions directed at Hagey indicated a mixed response. Some speakers questioned whether or not there should be some line drawn on material depicted on the screenwhile others expressed that they felt any kind of censorship was dangerous. One remarked that while feminists seecensorship asa tool to eliminating bad‘ stereotypes of women, censorship itself “is the tool of white male domination” and must be suspect from the beginning. The forum concluded after the last speaker pleaded that “everyone should take responsibility and censor themselves,not for others.” No other Fed forums are slated until the winter term.

The forum, sponsored by the Women’s Issues Board of the Federation of Students, featured a whole day of activities. _, In the morning, a video called “The Body Test” from the Canadian Dietetic Association was shown four times. The audience was given test cards to answer 20 questions that the video asks about diet, exercise, lifestyle, and s&-image. At 12:30,another video was shown &led “Still IGlIing Us Softly,” a powerfuI statement of the dilemmas and pressuresthat women facegrowing up in a Western culture. It showed hqw our society stereotypes sex roles and Render traits, and promote the

idea -that thinness equals beauty, which equals success. Unrealistic images of women that infect the media are the acknowledged rook of self-starvation in today’s women. Professor Gail Grant from IJW’s sociology department and Theresa Castille-Reis from counselhng services spoke afterward. Grant discussed the problems I that every woman facesin attempting to fit into her gender role in a society in which women learn to suppress their own emotional needs and assumeresponsibility for the needs and expectations of others. In a more clinical dissertation, CastiIle-Reis discussed an extensive survey of samples of students on the campus of the University of Toronto. She revealed shocking statistics about sufferers of eating disorders and their self-images.An hour of discussion followed with excelIent audience participation.

Since then, however, “five requests tcr reinstate selected alt groups have betln received.” A faculty member put in the request for the altfractals group, which carries discussion of the topic of fractals in mathematics, and a “senior manager of an academic support department” asked for the altsecurity group, which discusses protection of computer data.

The premise that natives can not put themselves above the law is ludicrous. Naive at worst. We all know that governments, judges and the police have been guilty of such. breeches (e.g. the budget leak, Donald Marshall, etc.) It is sidestepping the issue by asking whether natives should resort to armed confrontation; they have been forced into this situation by over 150 years of systematic racism, marginalization, and cultural assimilation. Tom Siddon, the federal minister of Indian Affairs, should resign; that way he can continue his fishing trip without guilt. Robert Bourassa should consider his statement in which he called for use of weaponsby natives as unacceptable; was he feeling spiteful for the failure of Meech Lake and Elijah Harpur’s death blow to the accord?

.exists...

In dealin& with the sensitive issue of censorship, let us first ‘establish some essential facts.Western history over the past thousands of years has produced a political and economic system dominated by white males. In the interest uf perpetuating the system of greed and avarice from which power flows, this white male establishment has ingrained a set of negative,destructive stereotypes of genders and minorities within the members of our society. The pornographic and hateful materials upon which pro-censorship forces concentrate their attention are the twisted products of this society which rationalizes interpersonal reIationships in terms of power and dominance.

The censorship forum which was held Wednesday night uuly 25) wasa fine example of why censorship cannot and will not ever be an effective way of dealing with the various issuesof racial and sexualdiscrimination. The forum was also a great example of the free exchange of information and the benefits uf such. Though the issue during the forum was ostensibly censorship with regards to pornography, greater issues of stereotyping in media and advertising were brought forth by the various speakers.Without realizing it, th; pro-censorship speakerswho discussedthese harmful stereotypes were introducing the evidence which disqualifies their case.

The problems which exist in our society with regard to sexual discrimination, sexual assaultand discrimination of all forms penetrate to the core of our societal programming. Suppression of “offensive” material does absolutely nothing to get at the root of these problems. Education and awareness are the only weapons which will begin to chip away at the edifices of lies which have been constructed around gender and sex roles. Free accessto, and exchangeof, all information is a necessary condition for meaningful education (and reeducation) .

Not only does censorship not deal with the root problems, it takes the backward step of choking off the air upon which education breathes. Censorship merely makes a futile attempt to attack the symptoms. In fact, censorship is a particularly male, power-oriented way of ‘dealing with the issues of pornography and hate literature. It defies in every way the ideals of coIlectivization and democracy which have driven the women’s movement from its very outset. it behaves in the same way the male establishment behaves when threatened - suppression, suppression, suppression. The alternative to censorship? In my opinion, the only wav to effectivelv confront the hatred which lies *atthe heart of controversial materials - the materials which censorship advpcates which to suppress - is to allow the

freest possible access to them. The further they are driven underground, the harder the attitudes are to combat, becausethe better disguised and veiled they become. It is a pair&! step; advocating free accessto pornographic and hateful materials. It means defending the rights of expression of the vilest type of exploitative, bigoted scum. We must though, for only through exposure to the full light of inquiry and examination can these attitudes be shown for the falsehoods and misconceptions they are. Free access is the most dangerous, revolutionary and effective tool we possessto break down hateful, harmful societal stereotypes. Through education we can produce new generations of children who can be instilled with a critical function sufficient to allow them to judge and reject the inaccurate media stereotypes which confront us everyday. In doing so,each of them will be, in no small fashion, rejecting the entire corrupt system in which we have been raised. if one really wishes to see discomfort among the ruling establishment, let Nor u Lore Stay be added to high school sex education curricula. Let children from grade school on be educated to the false stereotypespresented in media. Let the. educational system be the counterbalance to the constant media barrage that they face in their day-to-day lives. If we are to overcome the lies and hat-red which pervade every strata of our society, we need more information, more freedom to discuss,more education - not more repression. Bring pornography and racism out of dark rooms and basementsand into the full light of intelligent inquiry - no matter how painful it may be. Then can we begin to rid our society of the cancer which eats at its heart.

It is clear that Jesusfasted: “Then Jesuswas led by the spirit out into the wilderness.. .

are necessary steps toward responsible care for our enviomment. I bring. however, to the surface some additional issues which were overlooked in Mr. Brown’s article. There are two issues of concern about the use of Baygon in our apartments; the health issues and the environmental issues. Only the health issues were raised in the article. The environmental issues are just as important, if not more important than the health issues. Sooner or later we are going to have to start acting responsibty on issues involving the environment. Look around, pay attention, and take notice of what we have done to our humble planet in the last 100 years. If our attitudes do not change yadicaI1.ythen we are

Mr. Harry Hut-t, of Safeway Pest Control Services of Kitchener, really summed it up when he stated, “We’ve been conducting this program since 1974.” This way of thinking is completely outdated. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it. Mr. Huti, I bet that the people of Hagersville used to think like you. Justbecausesomething has been being done since 1974 does not mean that it is the correct thing to be doing. In the 1930’s when the development of CFC’s allowed the domestic refrigerator to become part of every kitchen, industry figured it had

use of CFC’s is perfectly acceptabie, after all we have been using CFC’s since the 30’s. This type of attitude has got to go! Mr. Hutt also stated “It is applied around the pipes and sinks in the kitchen and bathroom and in the cabinets.” Why not seal around the pipes with caulking and patch the holes in the cabinets and in the wails. This is a safer, long-term solution to the problem, and, no hazardous chemicals. To finish I would like to askal1of you this; is our campus community really this apathetic.

Myantitar scene of brutal ‘torture by Illdrani

Canadians, through the activities of PetroCanada, are guilty of supporting a brutal military regime in Myanmar, known until June, 1989 as Burma. Myanmar is a country where people believed nobody would ever go hungry. Situated east of India and Bangladesh, west and southwest of China and Vietnam, MyanmarisrichinMturalr~urcessuchastimber, petroleum, rice, cotton, and opium. Yet, an estimated 23,000 refugees have fled to Thailand this year alone.

military coup led by strongman Ne Win, who led the country for the next 26 years down what he termed the “Bmese Road to Socialism.” This period of oppression was marked by single-party rule and the loss of basic rights and freedoms. The country destended into abject poverty. March, 1988 marked the beginning of peaceful pro-democracy demonstrations, quite similar to those which woujd take place in China the following year. These protests called for an end to one-party nx.le by Ne Win’s militarydominated Burma Social Prc~ gramme Party, and were led primarily by students and monks. The demonstrations were brutally crushed in a Tiananmen-style massacre by General Saw Maung, Armed ForcesChief of Staff.The general subsequently led a %oupfl on Sep tember 18,1988.

Reports indicate that some of the more common methods of torture include: “walking on the seashore” (walking on gravel or broken glass on one’s knees), Chinese water torture, beating electric shocks,and the slitting of parts of the body with a knife or bayonet and the rub bing Of salt or curry into the wound. Others who have been arrested, especially peaceful student demonstrators and members Ofdissident hc minorities, have been forced to serve as porters for army units in remote areas on c0unter-insurgency activities. As a rsult of the repression in Myati following the coup, donor nations began to withhold aid and demanded ref~nns. These reforms may have taken place, had trade relations with several countries, most notably Thailand, not suddenly blossotiecl and once again allowed the SLORC’s repressive rule through the actions of Petro-Canada, which continues to carry on relations with Myanmar. One of the few promises kept by the SLORC was to establish a multi-party system in Myanmar. Over 2,000 parties registered for elections which took place in Myanmar On May 27,199O. What the government had not promised, however, were the widespread arrests of those active in the non-violent opposition parties. Aung San Suu Kyi is the daughter of independence hero Aung San, and hexself leader of the National League for Democracy, the largest opposition party in Myanmar. Aung San Suu Kyi was placed under house arrest last July and many ‘of her party’s workers were also arrested at that time. IXspite this, an overwhelming majority of the people voted her their next leader. Even now, she remains guarded in her home for “endangering the state.” The University of Waterlm chapter of Amnesty International is actively working to find information about three students, all Of whom disappeared on March 21, 1989, following demonstrations at Yangon University.

The Animal Rights movement essentially seeks a sane relationship between man and animals. It questions whether technological supetiority is a Licenceto exploit and wonders whether human self-interest is sufficient reason to kilI animals. Although there were one of two nineteenth-century thinkers who asserted that animals have rights, the serious political movement for animaI liberation is very young a product of the 1970’s.Since thii time it has grown to become a powerfurl voice in society in North America, Australia and Europe. In Canada,about 200,000people acrossthe country directly support humane societies and at least 5000 people have become members of fledgling animaI rights groups such as ARKR and Lifeforce since 1980. These organizations have been working to raise public awareness as well as lobbying various government agencies. LnEurope, animal rights activists have convinced governments to enforce new laws for thecareoffatm animals. Sweden has become the leader in this trend toward a more humane system of animal husbandry. Under the new Law,enforced in 1988, Swedish cattle have been given grazing rights. Pigs can no longer be tethered and must be given separate bedding and feeding places. Both cows and pigs must have accessto straw and litter. Chickens must be let out of their cramped cages.No drugs or hormones can be used on farm anim&,acept to treat disease.Most of these reqaents will be phased in over the next few years to allow farmers time to change to the n;ew systems. Some animal rights group3 have been criticized for their violent approach toward animal liberation However, E&x&ive C&ctor of the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies James Bandeau, states that only a SrnaIl portion of animal rightist!3 back the actions that put the movement into the headlines. In fact, the influenu moderate side of the movement holds views that are not that different from the envir0nmenta.l movement. .F+zterSinger,aF+of~rofPhilosophyand Director c$the Centre for Human Bioethics at Monash University in Melbourne Austmlia, is theauthorofAnirmrlfibemabrt.Thisbookhas been described as *‘the bible of the new

animal rights movement.” Singer states that our present attitude toward animals can be attributed to the influence of the Judeochn’sti;ur beliefs of our Western society. The insistence of the God-like nature of human beings has set us above all other animals The animal rights movement rejects the human assumption that we are superior to other animals. This anthropocentric attitude - the idea that humans are the crown of creation, the measure of ail things 1- is deeply embedded in our culture and corkciousness. Thisinturnhasledtowhatmanyanimal activistscall specieism,or human chauvinism. Specieism is similar to sexism, substitute “human race” for “man”, and “all other species” for “womkn. ” This attitude c&n also be compared to racism. Should an individual simply act on the assumption that humans, as a result of their membership in a class,have intrinsic rights, where asthings that don’t belong to that class have no such rights. If so, then how is this different from Nazis that found no wrong in massacring Jews or from apartheid supporters today? m does not mean thatanimals have all the same rights as humans have. Animal liberationists do not minimize the obvious differences between members of our species and members of other species.However, one thing that is common to both humans and other animals is “inherent worth/ The ability to feel pain and experience emotion is what hasgivenallself-animatedbeingstheintrinsic right to-life. ‘I think what you can do is extend respect to all living things, and in my mind that includes plants, the earth, the air, and the piant itself as bell of ir&erent value” states Miller, President of the Toronto Vict@a Humane Society and founder of ARKIL Ms.Mille~%stafement me;lns that man cannot s+t~mo&lye~fromnature~thout disastrous consequences.

Animal activists are try-

For people who want to continue to eat mea& the option is to buy organic meat. 0nce people establish the market there, the factory farm will have a hard time competing.

An average North American meat-eater will consume 12 cows, 29 hogs, 1 calf, 37 turkeys, 984 chickens, and 910 pounds of fish in one lifetime (up to seventy years).

To reduce or eliminate meat from your diet is a persod and ethical choice. With information and awareness, a vegetarian diet will. seem like a healthy, harmless alternative.

protein Yet, almost every food you eat contains protein. According to the Waterloo Regional Health Unit, we actually do not need copious amounts of protein LRSSthan 10 percent of our daily energy should be protein The average Can&m has no difficulty satisfying this requirement, and in fact, consumes twice as much protein as necessary. The production of meat is responsible for many severe, and unnecessary negative environmental impacts. Soil erosion is a serious tieat to the fertility base that sup pods us. The United States alone loses over four million acres of cropland to erosion every year. CMthis loss. 85 percent is directly associated with Livestock raising. Pure vegetarian food sourcesmake lessthan 5 percent of the demand on the soil as meatoriented diets. The North American demand for meat is a driving force behind the Central and South

BEEF TOP LOIN STEAK Contrary to popular belief, humans are not natural carnivores. In fact, the physiology of the human body is far from resembljng a carnivore. Meat-eaters have claws and perspire through their tongues. Leaf-grass and fruiteaters, as well as humans, don’t have claws and perspire through their skin. Other differences are also evident. ,Carnivores have sharp pointed front teeth to tear flesh and no flat, back molar teeth. Humans, and plant-eating animals have flat, back molar teeth to grind food, but no sharp, pointed front teeth. The intestinal tracts of carnivores are only three times their body length. This allows food to pass out quickly. Intestinal tracts in humans and plant-eating animals are only three times their body length. This allows food to pass out quickly.

American countries clearing their tropical rainforests. Much of this destruction is taking place to provide land on which cattle can be raised for the North American fast-food market. These r&forests are the old&t ecosystem on earth and contain extreme ecolo@calrichness.Most of 1000 speciesnow lost in a year, is due to this deforestation. The carbon dioxide build-up in the atmosphere and the resulting greenhouse effect is aIsodirectly related to the destruction of these rainforests. Meat production wastes enormous amounts of energy and water as well. Studies at Ohio State University compared energy costs associatedwith poultry, pork and other meat production with the energy costs of pro ducing soybeans,corn and other plant foods. Results showed thai even the least efficient plant foo’d is nearly ten times more efficient than the most energy efficient animal food. Water is needed to irrigate Land growing feed for livestock and huge quantities are also necessaryto wash away animal excrement. It has been found that it takes up to a hundred times more water to produce a pound of meat than it does to produce a pound of wheat Animal excrement is another problem The concentration of huge amounts of animals in feedlots and confinement m does not make it economically feasible to cycle their waste back to the soil. The enormous amounts of excrement producti, hi@ in titrogen often end up in our ground water.

Child abuse causes mental disorder -

by Sally Johnson Reprinted fram Canadian Science News

Severe child abuse is the cause of multiple personality disorder, a complex psychiatric illness that usually affectswomen, concludes a study by Canadian mental health experts. The study found nine out of’ 10 people with the disorder suffered extreme abuse as children. In multiple personality disorder, different parts of the individual’s pertonality begin to function as though hey were separate people. Sufferers kern the disorder are likely to display at least 15 different personalities, the study found. Some may have hunAreds of whole or partial per3xl.alities. The personalities may behave, speak, and dress quite differently. Some may be aggressive. Others behave as children. They can also have quite distinct interests and skills.

The survey of 236 patients in Canada and ihe United*States was one of the largest conducted on the disorder. It aimed to confirm the findings of earlier research and help medical professionals, who have been struggling to understand multiple personality disorder since it was first officiaIly recognized as a psychiatric illness just 10 years ago. The findings were similar to those of previous studies. Of those surveyed, 88.5% had been physically and/or sexually abused aschildren. Ninety per cent of the patients were female. “Multiple personality disorder is a way of coping with child abuse,” says Dr. Colin Ross,head of the dissociative disorders clinic at St, Boniface General Hospital in Winnipeg. Ross, Ron Norton, chair of the department of psychology at the University of Winnipeg, and research associateKay Wozney did the survey. “In more than half the cases the abuse began before the age of five

and lasted for more than 10 years,” Ross says. In abusive situations the child often develops an ability to dissociate and block out feelings, events, and memories. The child goes into a selfinduced trance, similar to hypnosis. If the abuse goeson for a long time, part of the brain can set up a separate memory bank which later begins to function like a separate personality, Ross says. Once this happens, these personalities may “come out” and behave as separate people, without the sufferer being aware of it. The patient may report periods of “blanking out” or amnesia, covering the time when the other personality is in action. Dr. George Fraser,head of the anxiety and phobic disorders clinic at the Royal Ottawa Hospital, has treated more than 100 people with multiple personality disorder and sys thewhen the problem often begins abused child imagines being someone else in order to block out the pain. “A little girl being abused by her father might imagine herself as her brother because she sees he isn’t being abused,” says Fraser. “Or she may createa violent male personality in her mind to fight off her attacker.” In one rare casea woman had the personality of a dog because her abuse had been so horrific she thought it could only happen to animals. Patients often hallucinate, so that when they stand before a mirror they “see” their other personalities. ‘“This morning I had a 28-year-old female patient in my office who had dark hair and was wearing pants,” says Fraser. “Yet when she stood before the mirror shesaw a four-yearold girl with blonde hair and wearing a dress.” Personalities can be male or

female, regardless of the sex of the person with the disorder. Sixtyttwo per cent of those surveyed hadat least one personality of the opposite sex. Child personalities were the most common, appearing in 86% of the patients surveyed. IThe child personaIities hold the abuse memories,” says Ross. The researchers sent questionnaires to 203 medical professionals, including doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and SO&I workers, who had treated multiple personality disorder patients. One of the biggest problems for patients is getting the right treatment, the researcher found. Patients had spent an average of 6.7 years in the mental health system, before b&g correctly diagnosed. Many had been diagnosed for, other mental illnesses, including manic depression and anxiety disorder. Four out of ten patients (40.8%) were misdiagnosed asschizophrenic. Suicide attempts were high among those with the disorder. Seventy-two per cent had tried to kill themselves, usuallyby slashing their wrists or taking a drug overdose. Two people succeeded. Almost three-quarters of those surveyed had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital at some time.’ The average length of stay was four weeks. Ross says that one problem with multiple personal@ disorder is that mental health experts are still leaming about it. Until a decade ago$the phenomenon was thought to be extremely rare and only 200 cases had been recognized. In 1980 the America Psychiatric Association officially recogntied the disorder in its medical “Bible,” the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders III. Partly asa result, more than 6000 cases had been diagnosed in North America by 1986.

“It’s also been helped by the women’s movement bringing abuse out of the closet,” saysRoss.“And the Vietnam war helped us mental health experts become aware of the psychological effectsof trauma on the mind.” People with multiple personality disorder usually seek psychiatric help when they are in their 20s or 30s and are experiencing amnesia (blank spells) and/or hearing voices in their heads, says Ross. Other people may assume the victim is moody, becausehe or she can switch dramatically from good humour to rage and back. Sometimes a patient’s personalities conduct near-separate lives. Ottawa’s Fraserrecalls one case of a pious 19-year-old minister’s son whose “other” self would get up from bed at night and enjoy wild nights on the town. The “bad” personalities can lead the person with the disorder into crime. Ross’ survey found 12% of patients had been to jail. Still, Ross says treatment is frequently successful, though it may take several years. “Multiple personality disorder is the only chronic mental illness that can be completely cured,” he says. Treatment involves integrating the personalities through therapy. Treating a pfson with the disorder ti like “group therapy in the head,” followed by “piecing together a jigsaw puzzle,” Fraser says. “The patient hasto confront the different personalities and this is generally very intense and painful, as buried it involves recalling membrie3,” he says. Once the personalities are integrated, patients retain most of their skills.

Cloaked in green, the green of envy, avarice and royalty, Lady Macbeth’s unquenchable and unreason-

able desire for the Queenship of Scotland pushes her to manipulate her husband, forming him into a murderous traitor. She alone provides the impetus for Macbeth’s descent into madness. Macbeth’s desire for power, encouraged by his wife, does not blind him to the fact that he commit high treason to acfiieve it. But each time he wavers in his resolve, gender roles reverse and Lady Macbeth dominates. Once their goal is achieved, the Macbeths are mired in a contagion of guilt and deception.

The boom of thunder and the !flash of lightning create an atmosphere of terror -and dread which is sustained throughout the dranatic action, leaving the audience suspended over a precipice of fear. Macbeth’s disruption of natural order plummet the characters and the audience into despair. Costuming was artfully chosen.

On July 12 I did an interview ovei the bhone with Henry of The Christians,who are in New York City do@ the promotiona thing for their second album on Island records. This is what was said, as far as I can remember: The Christians are currently enjoying Ttip 10 and Top 20 status on European charts (at the time of this interview, they were ‘number 1 in France) and.are gearing up for a big European tour. They are playing several dates in North America, with a possibility of a few dates in Canada coming up sometime in November. While they enjoy huge successesin Europe (the5 first album went triple platirt~~ ,th+e finding that the No& Arritergcanmarket is tough to b&k into @hat eIse is new?). ‘We hi-i% no illusions about walking in aid taking over the market,” Henry ad&s. “We’d like to be able to, but we’re wt about to prostitute ourselves to make it big.” For instance, while on the music talk show circuit in New York, the band admitted that the single they were supposed to be promoting was not their personal favourite. fieir record label flew into a tizzy about what was, after aU, an honest opinion. The Christians play a melodic blend of pop, blues, country, rock... their interests and infuences are wide and varied. ‘It’s hard to describe our music in terms of its influences,” explained Henry, “as far asthe band is concerned, we all liked the doo-wop and old soul of the ’50sand ’60s.If you take a look at my own record collection, I’ve got the Beatles,John Mayall, Wiiie Dixon, and Muddy Waters, to name a few.”

What does sticcess mean to The Christians? “We& it’s nice to he in relative komfo& (meaning he doesn’t have to live in a fiat with a leaky roof, and he doesn’t have to move his record collection about every time it rains anymore) “and successIto me, means I have a platform from which to do my work. We’re lucky to have a good label behind us that lets us do what we want to. At home we get recognized .alI the time, which is a downside of success.It’s just rather tiring after a while. That’s why we like being in New York - Gary’s only been recognized about 6 times in the last 5 years;and he just loves it.” Gary’s big and black and bald. In all, Henry is glad for the opportunity to have a paid hobby. And success is not so important that the band is going to change to achieve it. When asked about who he considers his contemporaries, Henry finds that The Stone Roses and

Happy Mondays are the bands The Christians most identify with. Are The Christians, then, “alternative”? “It’s veIy dificult to categorize our music. That’s one thing I notice about North Americans, they tend to categorize too much . . . everything has to be in a cert&n slot. I think that’s one reason why we’re not popular here, it’s because no one can find a category for us.” So as the interview drew to a close, Henry asked me if the album had already been reviewed in the Imprint. ‘Whh . . . (I decided to make a clean breast of it and face the consequences. After all, he seemed a very nice dude) . I . yes. I slagged it. Sorry, man.“He laughed.“Oh, that’s okay. A friend of mine told me that he didn’t like it either, but after he listened to it a few times, he found that it grew on him. So try it again, maye you’ll like it.” We said goodbye. Okay, dude, I tried, and you were right.

The album has sold over 250,000 copies in its first seven weeks on the shelves, an astonishing figure for a comedy album. His successhas even spread to the movie screen with Z%e ‘Adventure uf Ford Fairhe, which made its debut two weeks ago, and 7ZeAndre Dice Clay ConcertMovie, scheduled for release in September.

him. Comedy’s bad boy, Andrew Dice Clay has just released a double LP live recording of one of his standup routines, filled with some of the most sexist comments about women and cynical views on life that you have ever heard. * But in his ten year stint on the comedy scene, the 32 year old native of SheepsheadBay has never been this popular until now. Dice changed the content of his monologue about two yearsago and hassince enjoyed limitlesspopularity. But in the process,he has also enraged women, e&n.ic minorities, midgets, and gays. So what? Ifi a feature article on Clay in ‘I;he KmntuSun, Joan Rivers was quoted as saying %nyone who takes him seriously is an i&ot.” Precisely! Clay himself went on to say, ‘It’s not me up there - it’s an act. I do a bit about having kids and how (terrible) it is. But, in real life, I’m in love with my girlfriend and we’re having a baby

Hundreds, sometimes thousands of musical products float across my desk; every month.

Shortcomings aside, any Sex Pistols recording carries intrinsic value simply as representativework from an extremely influential period in rock ‘n’ roll history. The Pistols may not have been the first punk band (debatable), they weren’t the last punk band, or even the best punk band (status reserved for the Clash). But they were the most important, the quintessential punk band. The Sex Pistols epitomized punk be&se they took their ‘“speed and noise and manic glee” further than any band before or since. Smashing the cuIt of technique which had so thorou&tly controlled pretentious art

Getting to the review, the most significant characteristicof this tape is dismal sound quabty, far worse than any Pistols studio album. Among other problems, Johnny Rotten’s voice is muffled and barely audible and it’s a real disappointment to miss his ruthlessly satirical lyrics. The audio quality on this tape is so bad it sounds like it was recorded in, well, a

prison.

Another knock against the tape is that, made in 1976, it doesn’t co&in any songs that weren’t yet written. (Surprise!) I’m talking about masterpieceslike”Holidavs in the Sun.” On ltie plus side, you-get to hear (live) such gems of punk petulance as “Submission/ “Liar,” srnd “Pretty Vacant”’ along with “Anarchy,” complete with cleverly changed words to be more relevant for the prisoners. And if this isn’t reason enough for the fanatical Pistols devotee to clomp over to the his/her cleverest record dealer, there’s more! You also get rather distinctivecovers of the Who’s “Substitute”and the Monkees”‘Stepping Stone.” (No, it’s not a typo - the Sex Pistols covering a Monkees tune!)

Gee, the music scene in Mar&e9 ter must be just like Hollywood - as soon as someone makes it big,’ everyone else sets out to copy what they’ve done. How else to explain ‘The Only One I Know/ the new single by Mancunians The Charlatans? Funky bass,guitars wahwahing away - it’s a dead ringer for the Stone Roses. And you would MP the vocalchords on this disc belong to Ian Brown. The only real original touch here is the chugging organ in the background.

Though it will appeal to limited numbers, Live at Chelmsfod Top &m&y Biwn is a must for all devoted SexPistols fans.But it’s more likely to sit on the shelf as part of a cherished collection than see the head of a tape player. “C’mon, wake up!

Recommended for Stone Roses fans who just can’t get enough. As for the real thing though, the new Rosessingle “One bve” is out now. It’s no blockbuster like “Fools Gold,“but it does carry on in that vein - funky bass, guitars wahwahing away. Musically it’s probably the densest thing they’ve ever recorded; there’s so much going on in the performance that it threatens to obscure the power of the song. Same goes for the flip, ‘Something’s Burn+” The band still loves interminable instrumental jams, but rest assured: gone are the excessesof ‘Fools Gold 9.53.” “One L+ove”lasts only about eight minutes or so. Ian Brown’s vocals have a little more bite than usu.aI,but lyrically he’s at his wimpiest, going for some-vague neo-hippie sentiment. ‘One love, we
