Rhetoric by David Thomson Imprint staff An all-candidates forum organized by the Federation of Students was held last Wednesday, August 29 in the Davis Centre. The event allowed candidates a five minute opening address,followed by a half-hour question and answer period and a short closing address. The candidates running for the Waterloo North regim addressed two issues: Postsecondary education and the environment The event was attended by candidatesfrom five parties: the Family Coalition Party, Liberals, Libertarians, New Democrats, and the Progressive Conservatives. in her opening address, Rita Hu&hkaSprague of the Libertarian Party stated that all other issues are secondary to the environment and that a Libertarian government would prosecute any corporations or individuals responsible for polluting the environment. Speaking about educaticm,she advocated less government interference in the system by allowing teachersto take more responsibility in the system. A Unive&y of Waterloo Alumm, Andrew Telegdi of the Liberal party acknowledged that taxes are a major concern of Ontario voters and stated that there is no “fat” to trim from the budget for education. He stated that more long-term planning is needed in this area and that he sees funding of postsecondary education (PSE)asan “investment in the wealth and future of the nation.” He said that the environment is a major concern for him and he is not “just sticking his finger in the wind and dropping an ounce of green dye on his shoulder”. He believes that everyone has to make a contribution and that business, industry, and the government has to act together to successfullysolve environmental problems. Starting off by attacking the Peterson government, Elizabeth Witmer, the candidate for the Progressive Conservatives told the audience that she was familiar with Waterloo

and PSE problems since she did postgraduate work here and has been on the Board of Education for ten years.If elected she would like to seeadmission policies reviewed and improved cooperation between universities and businesses. Addressing the environmental issue, Witmer .stated that it was a “time for strong action” and that it was imperative that we start to become more of a consewer society rather than a throwaway one. The New Democrats’ Hugh Miller also agreed that PSE was an “investment in the future” and the key to allowing all citizens to mcipate in the development of the nation. After debunking the Peterson government’s handling of the issue,Mr. Miller said his party was committed to increasing funding to Chtario’s universities until provincial funding levels were on par with other provinces (Untario currently ranks tenth in this area). Attacking Peterson for prioritizing business issues over environmental ones, his party is committed to developing a sustainable economy - one which can is sound financially and environmentally. More laws and protection for employees who expose unscrupulous corporate polluters are crucial to making sure that there is an Ontario for future generations,according to the NDP candidate. The candidate for the Family Coalition Party, Ted Kryn, introduced himself as a family doctor who would like to see a return to traditional family values, which include preserving the dignity of the individual by respecting the individual, providing a fair efficient health care system and affordable housing. He acknowledged that his party is the only anti-choice/pro-life one and said that the party’s

policies

essential services” and establishing a law and order system based upon “justice and common sense.”In summation he also stated the FCP was committed to “the restoration of traditional values and morals in public and private life.” During the question and answer period, the f&t question was asked by John Vellinga, the President of UW’s Federation of Students. He expressed doubt that the Waterloo candidates as individ@s could do much to influence the policies of their parties. The Liberal candidate’sanswer, in the longrun,wasthathewascommittedtotuming things around and it was important to let the

public know what issuesare on the top of the agenda. . Mr. Miller told the students that he has pre-

viously been involved in policy-making at the provincial level and will live up to his commitments. For the Conservatives, Mrs. Witmer said that she has been talking to the local people about there priorities and concerns and wiIl attempt to demonstrate to her party what the * real priorities are. Mrs. Huschlca-Spraguecriticized the three mainstream parties for not answering the

in the,GSA by Paul Done Imprint staff Usually, the activities of the Graduate Student Association (GSA) board of directorsare invisible to the 1700 members of the GSA. Even, when not, they inspire an even greater level of apathy among grad students than the work of the Federation d Students executive does among undergrads. On behalf of the apathetic and silent grad students, Imprint took a position of advocacyagainst what we perceived as mismanagement and Perversion of due processduring the events surrounding a proposal to modify the upstairs of the Grad House. The controveny started when the GSA House Liaison officer came to Imprint with complaints that the President of the GSA, Nelson Joanette, had usurped &e authority vested within the House Liaison Officer and

the standing House Committee. Under GSA ByJaw 4 it is stated that House I&son Officer shall “imake recommendations to the Board, in collaboration with the House Cornmittee, concerning capital projects including furniture, equipment, and facilities and their maintenance.”

At Jmnetie’s request, the Board struck an ad hoc Office Expansion Committee to formulate a proposal to relieve the overcrowding in the GSA and Grad House offices. The Board was not made aware of the f&ct that this committee usurped both the authority of the standing House Committee and of the House Liaison Ufficer. Further, without the knowledge of the House Committee or the Officer, Joanette com-

missioned an architect in Plant Operations, Pat Sutherland, to prepare plans for the renovation of the Grad House’s second floor. Under

Changes to these plans, the present office upstairs in the Grad House would be divided into two offices while a third office would be built next to the door leadingtothebacksfaircase-

Under the provisions of the plan, the three offices would measure 7’6”x13’, 6kll’ and Sx13’. These are small offices; when crammed

with

desks, chairs, a photocopier, filing cabinets,etc; their small sizebecomes problematic. Another major area of dispute were the estimated costs associated

with

the plan

to restructure

the

offices.when Gary Craib went to Pat Sutherland to discuss the plan, she estimated the costs at $12,000 to $18,000. However, upon presentation to the Board during his President’s Report of May 24, Joan&e reported the estimated cost to be $4800.

During that meeting which began with a 90-minute in camera session (from which all non-boardmembers were excluded), an attempt by boardmember Ralph Zuljan to have the Pat Sutherland plan with the h&her estimate tabled and con-

estimate for materiel related to the project. When the plan was finally presented for approval the estimate for the project had been raised to $9400; a figure which was based upon consultation with John Armstrong, who had submitted a set of prew tenders for the work to the GSA. discussion with Plant Upon Operations, it was learned that John Armstrong is not a ‘recognized or approved contractor to whom P.U. would submit the plans and request a I. tender.

The ramifications of this are as folIows: work done by John Armstrong - or any unapproved Grad House contractor -0naprojectsuchasthis which would require electrical or echantcal modifications - would sidered was rebuff& by Joanettewho said “For ail I know that could be a ZLituteaviolationofUWPoIicy22. forgery” - despite the fact that it was Thisistheof6cialUWplicywhich on an official UW form, signed by F%t cktates, in the strongestterms, that all Sutherland. At this point, Gary Craib on-campus building renovations had already resigned from the must be cleared through Plant Uperations. The GSA board has board. As the discussion continued in ignored Policy 22 before, and it would be no surprise for that to be the following meetings, it emerged that caseagain the higher estimate was the official The motion containing the $9400 estimate from Plant Operations.

was introduced. Three proxy votes were used to ensure th@ the motion to approve. ti expedture got the nec&sary 2/3 majority. Without the three proxies, the motion would have been defeated. The pertinent GSA statute,Standing Motion 6, statesthat “.iAll financial matters . . . must be passed by a majority of 2/3 of votes present.” This motion seems to have the intent of excluding proxies from these votes when this was brought to light, NelsonJmette brought GSA lawyer Cam Trotter to the meeting to clarify the issue of proxies. His opinion was that proxies “create” a person at the meeting and thus, the motion was valid as passed.He went on to suggest that Standing Motion 6 be clarified regarding the use of

hpdnt hasbeen criticized for the constant coverage which we have devoted to this hue. Inthe minutes of the President’s Report during the July 31 GSA board meeting, it was stated by Nelson Joanette that “it is recklessand irresponsible to confirm such stories with Imprint # especially wyith a possible lawsuit pending.” It is ironic, indeed, to be threatened with a lawsuit by student representatives for attempting to inform their student body.

News

Devil with a bltie dress on For the past several months there has been a man in eyeliner and black skirt exposing himself to females, fondling his genitals and making profane remarks. Unfortunately for those involved this activity was not made at the invitation of the females present on various occasions, so he was reported to the

campus @ice. Four reports have been made so far concerning this fellow, who is described as being male; Cau&&n; 20 to 25 years old; 5’ 10” to 6’ fall; weighing about 150 to 170 lbs.; of slim build, dark brown hair pulled back in a pony

tail, wearing short skirts of various colours, panty hose and a padded bra under a T-shirt type top. The last report was made at 3:20 pm, July.11, 1990. The suspect approached his victim in the Bauer road area but he has been G&ted all around the campus.He was also reported last April outside the Math and Computer building at 11:OOpm and has also exposed himself to women off campus in Waterloo Park and in an elevator of Waterloo Towers,an apartment , complex on University near the Married Student’s Apartments. Most of his victims describe him as being intoxicated or stoned when he approach& them. The University police have been close to catching him but he slips inside campus buildings where he loses them. The univer-

sity police request that anyone who spots this man or is confronted by his fondled genitals, contact them immediately and to be alert for anyone acting in a suspicious manner. lf you are unsure about walking across campus at night lhere are student escorts available from the Feds at extension 3212 or 8884911. There is also the safety van provided for taking concerned students off campus and it runs ni&tly till LOOpm from the front of the Campus Centre.

Apart from the actualshining of shoes,cars, and windotiS, funds will also -be raised through the sale of raffle tickets, tunnel passes, and designated faculty Fed l-la11 nights. Uther special programs available this year include the donor card system, bus transportation, and taxi service. Each first year student who shines shoes will also receive donor cards to passout to the community. Like a driver’s license card, the cards can be kept in wallets. Bus transportation will be provided to the nine districts, as well as Iunches for the day. For students who live off campus in the KW area, taxi service will be provided from their homes to the campus. Hence, there is no excuse not to be out there.

1990 marks the sixth year that Shinerama ‘hasbeen part of the frosh week activities at the University of Waterloo. Shinerama is the university’s campaign to raise funds for the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Over $30,000were raised last year and the goal for this year is $50,000. The money raised by Shinerama helps in CF research. In fact, the funds donated last year helped in the discovery of the gene that triggers CF, an essentialfirst step in the search for a cure or control for this difficult disease. This gene occurs when a child inherits two genesfor the condition, one from eachparent. When this happens, each pregnancy brings a 25 percent chance that the child will have CF, a 50 percent chance that the child will only be a carrier of the CF gene, and a 25 percent

FCP, PC, LP, TLP,- NDP l cont’d from page 39 question that was posed, and Mr. Kryn didn’t even dodge the issue - he merely re-stated some of his party’s policies. Vice-President of University Affairs Kim Speers askedthe candidatesif they supported funding to establishwomen’s centres on cam-

pUS&.

Mr. Kryn of the FCP demonstrated either an utter lack of knowledge about women’s issues or believes a little too much in the Bible’s directives. According to Mr. Kryn, there are health care centres staffed all the time on university campuses and there is no need for more women’s services,shelters, or crisiscentres.As well, Mr. Kryn fears that this would takemoney away from post-secondary education. The Libertarian Party candidate believes that women would be farther ahead managing centres on their own without any government interference. The NDP supports shelters,rape transition centres, and other womens’ services oncampus and can’t see why they shouldn’t be more of them. Mr. Telegdi of the Liberals stated that he

supports more services for women and that politicians have to become more sensitive to this issue. Elizabeth Witmer of the Conservatives addressed the question by saying that she used to campaign alone in 1980 but that she didn’t feel safe doing that anymore. She added that more women should be encouraged to enter engineering and science

programs. After the candidates finished their closing remarks they and members of the audience attended a wine & cheese across the hall where candidates had informal discussions with concerned students. University of Waterloo President Doug Wright attended the debate and felt that the issues were reasonably addressed and was surprised by the large attendance, which was around one hundred people.

This summer the campus experienced yet another attempt by a cult to gain access to UVV student minds and wallets. Early in June Imprintinvestigated pbsters proclaiming a need for social

The flyers were recruiting for a group known asthe Movement.

As we4 former members were complaining that the t&m. Movement used mind coercive World wide the Movement was techniques on them to recruit and switching its political party’s name keep &em in the Movement.

The New Ethics by Peter Brown Imprint St& At a May 22 meeting, the UW Senate passed,on second reading, a new, more stringent ethics policy greatly expanding its definition of discrimination. The potential penalties for violating the policy range up to and including expulsion from the university. During first reading of the Ethical Behaviour guidelines on April 16,the Senate section IN.1 to read: ‘ . . changed I -t-ion includes any act of communication whether oral, written, electronic or non-verbal, and which lacks any redeeming artistic, intellectual or literary merit and which promotes disrespect or intolerance for any person(s) based on” personal characteristics. At the May 22 meeting one lone voice objected to the possible openandedness of the policy, but the body

of the senate was not moved. In the first draft of the document, dated February 20,1990, this section read: “Discrimination is any action which denies or has the effect of denying any services, benefits, opportunities, and/or f&i&s provided by the University on the basis of” those same personal characteristics. The policy places ethical offenses as defined by the Ethics Committee under the Academic Regulations & Student Discipline policy, under which the maximum penalty is expulsion The Ethics Committee can recommend a punishment which the Vice President, Academic & Provost can choose to implement. The VP’s decision can be appealed to President Doug wright The policy implies that these three prties, the Ethics Committee, Vice President and President, will be the arbiters of what constitutes “redeeming artistic, intellectual or literary merit.”

The group is considered by the Council On Mind Abuse (COMA) to be the newest expanding cult in Toronto and outlying areas,and commented that the Movement is “just as bad as the Moonies.” Locally, several high school students who had quit the Movement made similar accusations.They students descibed several mind control techniques applied by the group when they were recruited and at Movement meetings. A list of these is followed by the technique’s name: inducing a state of high suggestibility by hypnosis, often thinly disguised as meditation (hypnosis); suppressing doubt and resistance to new ideas by exploiting the need to belong (peer group pressure}; creating a senseof family and belonging through hugging kissing touching or flattery (love bombing); accele&ing acceptance of new life style by constantly denouncing former values and belief%(rejection of old values); encouraging blind acceptance and rejection of logic through complex lectures on an incomprehensible doctrine (confusing doctrine); implanting subliminal meSSageSby stressing certain key words or phrases in long confusing

Plumbers under

lectures (metacommunication); encouraging child-like obedience by orchestrating child-like behaviour (diibition); desensitizing through bombardment with foul and abusive language (verbal abuse); encouraging the destruction of individual ego through confession of personal weakness and innermost feelings and doubts (conk&on); achieving increased dependence on the group through the donation of money (financial commitfnent); creatingafalsesenseofrighteousness by pointing to the short comings of the outside world and other groups (finger pointing) and reinforcing the need for ‘salvation’ by exaggerating the sins of the former lifestyle halilt).

One letter accused the Catholic church of practicing hypnosis In answer to these various charges

Imprintreceived severalletters to the

editor, one of which accused the Catholic church of practicing hypnosis. As well a Movement spokesperson denied all thesechargesmade by the ex-members. The Federation of Students continued to receive complaints about posters of the group being put up around campus without the propet ‘okay. stamp being applied.

rntprintataff The Uw engineering faculty could not escape a sexist stigma this summeras another isolated incident drew the spotlight to the faculty’s society.In June, a few short months after the society dropped the word ‘Xidgid” from the name of its mascot ‘The Tool,” several posters appeared depi&ng the president and vicepresident of the society,both women, as strippers. The posters show a photo of president Andrea Jane Baxter and vicepresident Gtherine Koszamy, and the emblem of Splashes,a local strip club. This negative publicity comes at a time of historic change for EngSoc. When Baxter and Koszamy were elected recently, they were’the first women in the history of the society to fill the two positions at the same time. Baxter is the second ever female EngSocpresident Curiously, the posters appeared to be stamped with the EngSoc logo, indicating that they had been approved for posting on bulletin boards in the Engineering buildings. The originators of the posters obviously pasted on a logo photocopied from a legi&nate poster. The Tool’s name change drew fire from some who said that the revised me was just as sexist without the word “Ridgid.”

‘.Welchme Frosh4‘7r Join Imprint - the best This is usually the spacewhere the editor of the student newspaper offers sincere and well-meaning advice to first year students to “make the most of your time at un.iversiS/ and not to expect“education handed you on a plate.” I’m not going to do that - those are lessonsthat you’re going to learn for yourself - the hard way or the easy way. In this brief space offered to me, I would like to challenge a couple of the basic assumptions which underlie Iife at universities - in a sense,I would hope to offer some sort of alternative context in which the institution of university may be understood. (1) Universiti653are Institutions of Higher Learning I disagree, Universities are essentially status-granting institutions. University graduates, in being granted their degree, are given a certificate to prove that they have learned all the necessary lessons about obedience to authority. Not simply authority, but the traditional authority which is associatedwith white men, in whom the vast majority of our society’s power and wealth resides. Further, universities are organizations which operate upon a principle of selfregeneration by producing new generations of graduates - convinced of the worth and correctnessof the institution. Some grads will, in turn, move through post-graduate studies to replace retiring professors and ensure the survival of the idea of the University as it has existed for centuries. The deeper one gets into university, the :more one understands that learning is selfmotivated. In researchand reading, the learning experience extends only as far as the interest of the student. The professor is merely a statusquo-approved judge who sets

minimum standards of mediocrity which must be reached or faked before one can receive credit for a course. Through repetition, the university student eventually reaches a point where the University as instiktion will grant them a degree - a societal stamp of approval ‘which automatically bestows the holder with a greater status than the uneducated socially “inferior” class.This underclass consists of a disproportionate number of women and peoples of colour. (2) Univen3it@3are places of free thought and inquiry. Perhapsuniversities do host the freest possible thought and inquiry as can exist within a status quo approved and monitored institutibn. However, the primary function of any power-based institution is survival and the maintenance of power. Within this framework, it becomesobvious that certain forms of radical inquiry and experiment into the method and structure of post-secondary education cannot ever be allowed since they chaIlenge the essential societal assumptions upon which the institution of the university is founded. The major difficulties which we face in universities is that they presume the correctnessof an approach to learning and information based upon these presumptions: the superiority of white, Christian ethics; on the excellence of European civilization; and on the greateness and worth of the maledominated capitalist system which, through force and war, has come to dominate our Planet As much as high whools, universities operate upon the principles of obedience to power-based authority, the regurgitation of factual information, and the submission of intuition and emotion to cold technique.

Truly free thought and inquiry must be pursued outside the boundaries setby the institution of university. The processwhich you will undego within the classroomduring the next four years is merely a process of status and social class approval. Universities are not designed to educate, they are designed to ensure the continued social and economic imjustices upon which the power structure of our society rests. Paul Done

Three blind. mice It’s kind of like New Order, Depeche Mode, and Erasure.Everything sounds the sameand is about as valuable as my toejam. All three major political parties are worthless.Bob Rae runs around Ontario criticizing what Peterson has done or has neglected to do, and makes alternative suggestions that, for the most part he knows couldn’t possibly be implemented. If for some reason he were elected, it’s a simple matter of shrugging off promises with an excuse about the financial messPetersonleft him, and therefore he can’t implement the hundreds of policy ideas spewed out at the TV cameras prior to the election. Mike Harris, an apparent idol of George Bushhascampaigned on a platform of no new taxesand possibly even lower taxes.He even named his two campaign buses TaxFighter’ 1 and 2. As well, being a person from Ontario’s northern area, he claims to know ‘northern’ issue better than the other candidates. The most ridicuIous pledge to be uttered from this man was to have every member of his legislature travel agoss Ontario’s north (whatever that encompasses,he didn’t say) by bus, car, or train. Peterson is the most fun to watch on the evening news, as he is confronted by prc~ fessional protesters wherever he’ goes. The man definitely is a qualified politician.,having

the ability to instantly spit out vague nothingness and still sound like he successfully refuted whatever he was just accusedof. It is just simply so ridiculous to watch all of them tread the &me circuit. Each of them agree that the environment is a priotity, as is women’s issues,government accountability, job losses in the manufacturing sector, lowcost housing, increasing minimum wage, ecetera. Perhaps it’s a bit unfair to group the NDP with the Grits and Tories, since we haven’t seen them in actiorl yet in Ontario. As well, Bob Rae is in his umpteenth election campaign, so he is experienced in the ways of politics. Predictions? Mike Harris is unknown and isn’t too impressive on the tube (visual appeal is everything these days) and therefore won’t get much of the vote. As well, he sounds a bit like Mulroney, which automatically eliminates him from my taking him seriously. Although Mulroney was also unknown when he regretfully became our leader, he had an energetic look to him, no competition, and that hypnotizing deep, warm chocolatey voice. A sufficient number of voters should become dissuadedfrom voting Liberal - since one can read about Dave’s legacy daily - that Petersonwill have a reduced number of seats

The purpose of Easting is neither excIusively for the mortification of the body nor for physical health. According to the Hebrew Sageswho composedthetextoftheRoshHashanahandYom Kippur muchzor, fasting is inGnsicaIly connected with the concept of repentance (cf. R’Munk, IW Wlsdumin the Hdmw Afplraba, Brooklyn, 1983, p. 165). Isaiah expands this concept, teaching that the root purpose of the fast is liberation: “Is not this the fast that I God have chosen,?to loose the bands of wickedness,to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every

hinq.andthatthouhidenott)lyselffromthine own flesh?” Liberation is thus not metify forgiveness obtained through repentance. By means of fasting the heart of the faster is meant to turn purposefully toward the concernsof society% needier elements. Inmostchurchesfastingisregardedasonly an occasionaI practice for the purpose of repentance and purification. It is generally a public act, performed5 at the church or meeting-place, and in some cases involves elaborate liturgies significantly different from those groups’ regular services. The fast which Jesusadvised was to be performed in secret (M&t. 6:16-18), and its specificrole in all New Testamentexamplesis as a liberating actitity (i.e.,Mark 9:29). There is one Christian church which practices a regular fast in this manner. Performed once Fach month for a twenty-four hour period, mzhurchmembers fast in order to donate the v&e of the mealsthey do not consume to the church’s welfare projects.

in the legislature. Unfortunately, he will probably still get enough to govern for another term. Why? Because the media have been kept busy the last six years scrambling around parliament hill trying to get the scoop on Mulroney’s disaster-of-the-day.A consequenceof this is that a substantial portion of disgruntled Ontarions direct their criticisms towards the federal government - valid or not - and are ignorant of what the provincial government is doing. Bob Rae is getting good media coverage, cannot be criticized since he hasn’t been in office, and is the only other mainstream alternative to the Liberals or Conservatives.I think Bob will probably get a surprisingly large portion of the vote - probably even enough to form the opposition. If all goes well the PC’s and NDP may have enough seatsto operate together as an effective check on Peterson. This is just a prediction. I don’t care how you vote - just get off your ass and cast that bailot. I’m probably not going to vote for any of the aforementioned parties - I dox$t trust any of them. If you feel this-way as we& you can vote againstall the candidatesrunning by going to the polling station and declining your ballot.

Missionaries,for example,are often people who have sacrificeda few years of the6 lives, putting aside j school, occupation, in some caseseven postponing marriages,in order to give needed aid in some outer part ol the world. They can be said to have fasted from those desires, in order to give more fully elsewhere. The fullest application of this concept mightbe termed a fasting theology, which lies unmistakably at the base of the whole Christian lifestyle.

Spring Term Rants & Raves \

I was pampered and spoon-fed ‘til my heart’s de&ire, So they threw me to a world of hell’s flaming fire. And so off to a campus with ducks, geeseand grass Where there’s no one around to help me wipe my ass. Early morning classes,andlate nights at Fed Flicks Or is it nighttime Iabs and morning caffeine fix? The lovely term “sleep” once existed as a word However, its concept has become quite absurd. My mind has no time to procs subconscious thought I suppose that’s ok but my love life is not. I have a few condoms that came in my fresh kit, But they came alone; you see,no men were with it. Yet I survive in my sad and lonely state Thanks to some sexy sights I’ve observed as of late. The homework situation is realIy scary I’m only in first year - what will become of me? There’s just so much to read, and just so little time would like to cover my professors in slime At least go to the Bomb for tequila and lime But instead 111just sit and wrife this siIly rhyme. It is true, I’m in Arts, and by choice, I might add If you look down upon me, that’s really too bad. But you see,I don’t care, or at least not much Becausethe things I want are now within my touch. And hard work, 1 must, to attain my future goals Whether they be world peace, or to drive a Royce Rolls. There’ll be no more milk and cookies from here on in So take it nice and easy; always sport a grin I wiIl conclude these deep refIections of a frosh With a piece of good, true, sound advice (oh my gosh): To live each day as it it were your very last; When the time comes, you’ll look fondly upon the past.

No one should ever work, Work is the source of nearly all the misery n the world. Almost any evil you’d care to lame comes from working or from living in a vorld designed for work. In order to stop sufering, we all have to stop working. That doesn’t mean we have to stop doing hings. It does mean creating a new way of life rased on play; in other words, a ludic revoluion. By ‘play’ 1 mean also festivity, creativity, :onviviality, commensality and maybe even lrt. There is more to play than child’s play, as voxthy as that is. I call for a collective advenure in generalized joy and freer interdepenlent exuberance. Play isn’t passive. Doubtless Meall need a lot more time for sheer sloth and black than we enjoy now, but once recovered exhaustion +om employment-induced Iearly all of us want to act. The ludic life is totally incompatible with existing ‘reality,’ the gravity hole which sucks he vitality from the little in life that still disjnguishes it from mere survival. Curiously all [he old ideologies are conservative because hey believe in work. Some of them, like Marxism and most brands of anarchism, believe in work all the more fiercely because they believe in so little else. Liberals say.we should end employment discriminatiofl, I say we should end employment. Conservatives support right-to-work

This situation stinks of censorship. Instead of openly admitting that they are banning the discussions on sex, the powers that be have decided to stick their colIective fieads in the sand,hide under the cloak of budget cutbacks, and axe an entire section of news.

Unions and management agree that we ought to sell the time of our lives in exchangefor survival, although they haggle over the price. Mamists think we should be bossed by bureaucrats. Obj ectivists and libertarians think we should be bossed by businessmen. Feministsdon’t care which form bossing takes so long as the bosses are women.

You may be wondering if I’m joking or serious. I’& joking; and serr’us. To be ludic is not to be 1uhicroGs. Play doesn’t have to be frivolous, although frivolity isn’t triviality. Life should be a game - but a game with high stakes. A game played for keeps. The alternative to work isn’t orz& idleness. To be ludic is not to be quaaludic. As much as I treasure the pleasure ‘of torpor , it’s never more rewarding than when it punctuates other pleasures and pastimes. Nor am I promoting the managed time disciplined safetyvalve calIed I&urr; far frcbm it. L,eisure is nonwork for the sake of work. Leisure is the time spent recuperati$g from work. People return from vacations so beat they look forward to work so they can rest up. The main difference between work and leisure is that at work at least you get paid for your alienation

and enervation. I am not playing definitional games with anybody. When I say I want to abolish work, that is just what I mean. My minimum definition of work is forced labour, that is, compulsory production. Both elements are essential. Work is production enforced by economic or political means, by the carrot or the stick (The carrot is the s&k by another mizans.) But not all creation is work Work is never done for its own sake, it’s done on

&count of some product or output that the worker (or, more often, somebody else) gets out of it. This is what work necessarily is. To define it is to despise it. But work is usuaIIy even worse than its definition decrees. The dynamic of domination intrinsic to work

What are a tenant’s rights? What are your rights?

Privacy

With the new school year here many students will find themselves renting. Here is just a small list of things you should watch for.

Tenantshave the right to privacy in their unit. The landlord cannot enter tithout tenant’s permission, only by giving written notice 24 hours in advance. This is nulled in emergencies or after notice or termination of the tenancy has been given. In this case, the landlord has the right to show the unit to possible renters within reasonable hours.

Izases

’

Termination by the tenant Here are some particulars to keep in mind when signing a lease: - Read it over and make sme you understand all the clauses - Have any landlord promises put in the lease, and have them initial any amendments. Key money and deposits Many times “key money” in disguised as a charge for furniture, draperies, etc., which are already in the unit. Ontario’s rent review legislation makes it illegal for landlords, tenants or any person on their behalf to collect or attempt to collect key money. The only deposit a landlord can legally demand is a sum equal to or less than the amount of lastmonth’s rent. The landlord must pay the tenant six percent on this money. Legal Rent Before you move in, ask around to seehow much other people are paying in your building or previous tenants have paid. Call Rent Review at 5793790 to see if the unit is registered and what the legal rent is.

Tenantsare responsible for repairing any damage causedby “willful or negligent conduct” by them or their guests and for the ordinary cleanliness of the premises unless the tenancy agreement states that the landlord cleans the premises.

UW student travels to by Moustafa Baymmi Imprint staff Qn the way to IFSiT ‘90, the first International Student Festival in Trondheim, Norway, the train which had been collecting participants since Paris stopped for a dinner break in Aachen, West Germany. It was there, in Aachen, where many of us participants from Western Europe and

abroad had those delicate first encounters with other strangers from strange lands. We were about 125 people at this point, alI trying to anticipate what this conference on a changing Europe, and its participants, would be like. By the next morning we were to reach Copenhagen and meet the train that was coming from Budapest, carrying participants from Eastern Europe. We would be about 400 students then, from around the

worId, caught in our own wonder at this new internationahsm. From Copenhagen, the train would eventually travel above the 62nd parallel, to Trondheim. And here on ApriI 17, 1990, with about 500 students from 44 countries around the world, ISFiTwquld formalry begin. Now, a conference on Europe is not particularly anachronistic these days, but a student conference of this

magnitude and from this wide of a representation was certainly a brave endeavour. None of us had been to Norway before, and this was the very

political laryngitis. To speak of politics was to speak on the side of life, as it was for Radu, his compatriot from Bucharest.

This hegira continued on to Copenhagen, where East met West and the “migration of modem times” (as the student organizers dubbed the train journey) continued from there on to Oslo, and then a mere 8 hours due north to Trondheim. And in true Chaucerian styIe, the train provided the opportunity for stories to “cross borders” (another slogan the organizers were promoting). It was on this train, somewhere between Copenhagen and Oslo, that I first met Comma. At a time when adrenaline was running as quickIy as the train, cozma - a medical student from Timisoara, Romania - wouid taIk of nothing but his home political situation. Any why not? As I sat and listened to Cozma, with his head slightly bowed as searingly searching for the correct English words, it became clear to me how much of a hobby politics can be to someone from the West. To most of us, political reality is not reality at ail, but a chance to argue theoretical systems at the best of times, and offering the excesses of solipsitic pedantic&m at the worst. It was different for Cozma, however, as he explained his detest for Ceacm and fear of Illeanescu (who -recently won the possibly dubious elections in Romania). His intensity captured an urge to speak and be heard after years of forced

Such was the mingling of the serious with the social that was to be prevalent during the week And on Tuesday, the festival was set to begin with a grandiose opening ceremony. “AI1 diatribes must be checked at border,” the conference might have announced, for it seemed very few of us came with any plans for &e&ctual imperialism. Instead, we came to . try to make some personal sense out of the “avalanche of history” that continues to take place before our eyes. The phrase is Gro Harlem Bruntland’s, former leader of the Norwegian Labour party, former Prime Minister of Norway, and chairperson of the United Nations’ World Commission Einvironment and on Development, who gave the opening address to mark the official beginning of the ISFiT. But before she could ascend the stage, our Norwegian hosts took the opportunity to display their propensity for professionalism in performance. Nothing it seems is done without pageantry in Norway. Standard practice in Trondheim calls for some such bite into high culture, before continuing with the planned , public lecture. For these opening ceremonies, we were treated to an audio-visual journey entitled “I-Iappiness,” which irduded a dance performance by Ame Fagerholt, Norway’s premier bakt star. ‘wappiness” might have

Eeqtures

Norway *for conference been the way Joyce would have characterized the display, punning on the enormity of the effectsand the mood they evoked. , A parade of nations followed, and next, festival leader Mette Husemoen took the stage to welcome us. Mette explained to us the genesisof ISFiT: it was one student’s Mea almost tinro years ago (Torbjom Larsen’s, now second-in-command), whereupon it as adopted by the jttldent’s s&ety and a board of +4 members was formed to oversee.the organization. As the festival appro&hed, the board sent out a call for volunteers and received over 150 responses, doing everything from nmning group Sessions to constructing a 30 foothigh mascot man who would carry the symbols of ISFiT, the apple of knowledge and the cup of hemlock Mette explained how the idea of ISFit blew across Europe with more force than they had ever imagined. Receiving over 3000 applications from over 44 countries, and with space for about 450, the organizers decided to reach for as broad a representation as possible..They kept a balance between the sexes,and took some representation from every country which had sent applications. Iceland was the only European country not to participate;

even Albania,

which first appeared to be stoic and disinterested, at the last minute sent

Western contacts and participate in ISFiT, Asia risked the wrath of her mother, the dangers of hitchhiking, and the unknown, temperamental northern European weather to travel with four others and hitch rides all the way. It took them four days and 15 rides, but they made it in time. Once there, Asiaivas visibly impressed by a few of the Westernamenities, such as waterbeds, that she had only heard of. Her astonishment brought home to me the luxuxy of having - or rejecting - the luxuries that we have. To write off the monumental changes in Eastern Europe today as a desire for consumer goods, for Levis and VCRs, is to underestimate not only the massive, fundamental upheaval in peoples’ consciousness that is occurring but is also to misunderstand the choice thatconsumer goods offer. To those of us who choose asceticismfrom consumerism, it is a rational choice, a decision to abstain from something we view as excessive. But to Asia, there is no choice, for there are hardly any consumer goods to consume. She assured me she didn’t want a waterbed, but she was excited to see one just the same.For us to lament the desire of Eastern Europeans to see consumer goods on their shelves is easy, since we have the shelves and the goods. In Poland they seeonly the shelves.

porate sponsors had all contributed, giving the board an operating budget of 1.2 million Kroners (about $200,000 Canadian). Mette’s senseof commitment and level of excitement was inspiring: ‘Young and naive as I dwose to be, I feel there’s a need for changesandforafairerworld,andwe each have a responsibility to effect thesechanges.We eachhave a role to play. To that extent, we ought to strengthen female role. They’re needed to open up new ideas and new ways.“ Bearing all this in mind, Gro Harlem Bruntland was next to speak One of the world’s first ministers of the environmex? (1974), Bruntland is also a doctor, mother of four, and a leading figure on the international environmental stage. Her commission on environment and development was responsible for the over-used catchphrase of the 1990s: sustainabledevelopment. And Bruntland, wearing a green suit, wasted no time before launching into her environmental anthem. She began by citing the ISFiT symbol, which places an apple (Adam’s, the fruit of knowledge) beside a goblet (Socrates’, of hemlock, symbolizing the rkponsibility of knowledge). The symbol economically shouts the overriding theme of the conference: knowledge and responsibility. ‘This symbol is the environmental dichotomy,” she said, “for we know

But back to Mette’s- opening remarks. She said that, for the past two years,the board had been soliciting funds from various groups. The student society, the university, the town of Trondheim, and several cor-

Norwegian Inst. of Technology what appeared to be five carefully selected participants. To ensure I&tern European participation, the board sent out packagesto as many universities in Eastern Europe as possible, and attended all sorts of international seminars and conferences to make sure the idea took off. It did and it gained tremendous velocity on its run. Eastern Europe sent a large group, including 45 students from the Soeet Union, the largest single delegation (Lithuania, which sent 6 people, was treated asan independent natiov? The %otid understood how mting .any manetary investment’ &dd be for the economically depressed regions of the East. So, they adopted as their mandate a no-charge festival: the conference would be free to all participants, including mealsand,accommodations (we were billeted with other students),and the only cost was from transportation to and Trondheim.. ISFiT also created its own currency, the MISFiT, which was purchased with Norwegian Kroners and entitled the bearer to discounts on food, drink, and ISFiT paraphenalia. Eastern European participants ivere given’ five free MISFiTs. Still, Johanna, a language student from Poland, who insisted on being caned Asia, would tell me later how, for her and the other Polish par-

ticipants, the price was high. Train prices in Western Europe were far out of their grasp: Determined to go and see Norway, make some important

Warning that this only increasestheir matginalized status in an expanding world economy, and that the Third World can then only make the same environmental mistakesthat we have made, Brundtland pleaded for solidarity with the Third World, if not for their best interests then in our own environmental best interests. “Poverty is the worst polluter,” she said. As an example of the current lack of commitment for global change, Brundtland drew the example for us of the Marshall plan Immediately following the Second World War, the United States allo&ed, for the recovery of Europe, the equivalent of ten times the r esourcesthey currently give in forei& aid. Not trying to vilify the U.S., Brundtland explained that I’m not sure why teachers are so that was only an example,and that the chickenshit It cotid be that academic commitment is all of ours. ‘we have lminingitselfforcesasplitW=n the minds and we have the money,” thought and action It might also be she told us. “Now our efforts must hat the tenured security of a teaching cross sectoralized, generational, and @b a&acts timid persons and, national lines.” furthermore,thattea*likepolice ln this way, Brundtland <as able to posit a burden of responsibtity on work, pulls in persorrs who are unsure of themselves and need her student audience. ‘“You are the weapons and other external trapInterrail generation,” she told us (the pinp of authority.

afrom As could be expected, the major topics of discussion were Lthuanian independence and German reunification. But perhaps not to be expected,there was surprisingly little disagreement about the former, and a fair bit or worry about the latter, Most vehement in his support for Lith~anian independence was Bielinski Calling for the tie&ate support of the Nowegian government and their oil and gas reserves,Bielinski posed the question to the audience: ‘Why, pray tell, should Norway not help Lithuania?” Many of the Russian students somewhat surprisingly supported the Baltic nation’s drive for independence and looked disqprovingly .on Gorbachev’s hard line. But only one student, Ramin - an lranian refugee studying in Trondheim - had the courage to open up the question of selfdetermination to a broader than European outlook “What about other groups suchasthe F%lesGnia.ns? What are we prepared to do to help them in their struggle?” Despite Brundtland’s warnings, it appeared that the focus of the festival did often tend to some form of Eurocentrism. The issue of German reunification brought with it a whole different set of issues.Bielinski’s talk consisted of addressing this issue from a Polish perspective, hardly a disinterested position in light of remarks made by Chancellor Kohl a couple of months ago calling for a redef%nitionof the border between Germany and Poland. ‘I hold this against Kohl,” Bielinski proclaimed loudly. “This type of nationalistic incitement hold no place in the Europe of today. He’ll blow up the entire European house.” Bielinski admitted that the existing . borders in Europe today may not be just and fair, but they must be respected, for attempts to change them would end in much conflict and greater tragedy. vowever, this is not the case of the border between the two Germanys. “Of course they will unite,” he told us. ‘Their division is a symbol of Stalin’s division of Europe. Without the Iron Curtain there is no divided Germany. “However, we must move slowly and talk, talk a lot, about these changes,” Bielinski warned. And later, when I was discussing these issueswith Dirk, a new-found friend from Cologne, he would repeat Biehwki’s prophecy, candidly and without Subterfuge. Dirk a blond businessstudent with a sharp wit and a tight grasp on European politics, explained his apprehensions to me: ‘It’s not the economics of the situation,” he said, responding to my typically North American worry, “I’m quite sure we can absorb that. No, the problem is that we don’t know who these people are. Not only have they not had a chance to develop economically, but they haven’t developed politically either. We are now seeing some very scary, nationalistic and right-wing extremes coming out of East Germany. And that is one thing the young West Germans are absolutely

Moustafa (third from right) and new pals. dangers of nationalism. SO, we’re scared becausewe don’t know these people and they’re coming over here in flocks.” Two evenings later, the renowned and highly respected German manof-letters Hans Magnus Enzensberger delivered the keynote address at the Trondheim Students’ Saturday evening lecture or debate. Every Saturday, the society brings in a guest speakeror host a debate that is always well-attended. In conjunction with ISFiT, Enzensberger spoke on European culture and literature. Full of fromp and easy brilliance, Enzensberger spoke the words of a philosopher with the precociousness of a child. Enzensberger expressed his unease with “the slight smell of triumphalism that Europe is again becoming number one on the world stage,” and told us that he would like to try “a modest sabotageof my own subject” Adopting a piecemeal approach, Eruensberger set out to define European culture. Stringing together such as ideas a$ “we can claim a pension” with “most of us like one piece of old furniture in our apartments” with “we use words like utopia, irony,and individual like they’re self-evident,” Enzensberger took a defiantly antitheoretical approach to the study of culture. He encouraged the same in use: “If ever in doubt, trust your own experience and sharpness of mind,” he said. “Here, perhaps, you have learned more falling in love with someone from Amsterdam than from the academic seminars.” Concepts such as culture and suffer from rigid, literature au~mitarim theories, Enzensbeger

He did, however, admit that there is a substantive difference between today’s European literature from the West and from the East, Western literature, claimed Enzensberger,has a prevaikg defeatist attitude. Literature in EasternEurope, however, is a very prestigious pursuit “Just think of Vaclav Havel. This is hi&minded literature,” he purported. “It’s not afraid of pathos and great words.” “Bath sides are extreme. In the West, we say: Excuse me for being a writer,’ while in the East,it’s: ‘I am a writer, who the hell are you?” So the test for European literature in the near future, claimed Enzensberger,is to find its true size.

SideeffecbofthePiU by Sarah Clarke R#!mumecentm -9 Whether you’re using oral contraceptives right now or thinking about starting, you should know the potential side effectsof the Birth Control PilL The Pill is the most popular and convenient form of birth control. The Pill prevents conception primarily by inhibiting ovulation with two synthetic hormones, e&radio1 (a synthetic estrogen) and norethiidrone (a synthetic progestin). Most brands of Pills have both hormones. The MiniPilL is a progestin-only Pill. Besidespreventing pregnancy, the Pi affects the body in ways that medical researchers don’t always understand. All the side effects that can be attributed tothe Pii are not yet known, and for most people the PilI will have minor side effects. People who should absoIutely not use the Pill include anyone with any diseaseor condition associatedwith poor blood circulation or excess blood clotting, including bad varicose veins and heart disease or defect, Women with hepatitis or other liver diseases should also use another method of birth control. Those people strongly advised not to use the Pill include women prone to migraine headaches, those with hypertension, diabetes,and smokers. If you smoke fifteen or more cigarettes a day, you run a higher risk of stroke and heart attack,and most doctors at Health and Safety suggestthat you don’t smoke at ‘all while on the Pill.

Akhough chlamydia was only recently discovered, it is already the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease (STD) and is rapidly spreading. It is especially serious because many people who havechlamydia do not have any of its symptoms and are therefore unaware of having it. Chlamydia affects both males and females regardless of sexual orientation.

* In males, chlamydia can cause mflammation of the urethra. If this is left untreated, it canlead to inflammation of the testicles,which in turn can cause stqility. Some studies have found a connection between chlamydia and Reiter’ssyndrome (an arthritis-like condition). In females, chlamydia is far more serious.The infection usually startsin the cervix and an then spread through the uterus into the Fallopian tubes.Thiscancausesc~i.nthe tubes severe enough to cause infertility or increase the risk of ectopic pqnancy (the embryo develops in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus). chlamydiacanalsoresultinpelvic If you think that you have any of illfhmatoly disease pm), an irdlammtion of the entire female these symptoms (or that you might reproductive system.PID can lead to have had sexual contact with somesterility, spontaneous abortions, one who does), you should seea dottor immediately.

This column is here to answer questions you might have about anything related to sexuality. The column is prepared by volunteers of the Sexuality Resource Centre (SRC) and each week we will answer one or two questions that we have received. In the past we have answered questions about birth control methods, sexually transmitted diseases, indicators of pregnancy, delaying ejaculation and more. ’ There are several ways that questions can be sent to us.

You can also leave a note in the envelope on our door (Campus Centre, Room 206). Questions will be answered anonymously - there is no need to put your name on them.

The use of lubricant can also make intercourse more pleasurable for both femaleszind males - especially when using condoms (latex is not the same as skin). Although the condom might already be lubricated, that does not mean there is enough lube to make

intercourse pleasurable for the female. The more lubricant there is, the less friction (and more pleasure) there will be. When condoms are used malescan also directly benefit from lubricant. If a drop of lube is placed in the inside tip of the condom (before it is placed on the penis), this will allow the condom to move freely over the head of the penis during intercourse. The fact that lubricant can increase the enjoyment of condom use has implications for safer sex - people will be more likely to use condoms when they &cover that they can be pleasurable. Females might appreciate more lubricant even when a condom is not part of intercourse. The amount of natural lubricant produced will vary depending on fatiors such as hormone levels and degree of sexual excitement. Sometimes nature could use a little help. One potential side effect of the PiIl is that it ciln decreasethe amount of natural lubrication in the vagina. If this is the case,lube should probably be a regular part of intercourse. The Sexuality Resource Centre (CC206) will have free sample packages of lubrickt available in midSeptember for those interested in safer and/or more pleasurable sex.

It is important that people understand what constitutes sexual harrassment. Sexual harrassment on any level humiliates, insults, and threatens the victim. Any time someone is forced to endure unwanted sexual attention, whether it be lewd comments or coercive intercourse, when acceptance of sexual advancementsis a condition of education or employment, when rejection affects grades or performance evaluation, or when unwelcome sexual advancements interfere with the recipient’s work, there is due reason to register a complaint .of sexual harassment against the offender. No one should have to endure this sort of intimidation and disrespect. Sexual harrassment ranges from unnecessarytouching or paverbal abuse, leering, demands for sexual favours, to insulting remarks directed toward members of ape gender or one sexualpreference. Victims of sexual harrassment do not have to be in a position of academic or professional inferiority. 0ften it occurs between co-workers and class-mates and while women are the most victimized, some men also encounter it. The victim of sexualharrassmentis not to blame becauseharrassment is imposed sexual attention - the harrasseris responsible for the abuse and the abuse must be stopped. A victim of sexual harrassment should document any encounters with the harrasser, keep notes, pictures and write down dates,incidents, and names of witnesses. Witnesses will serve asa vital resource if charges or complaints are laid. The victim may also discover that others are suffering the same abuse. Most importantly, the harrasser must be informed that his or her actions are unwanted and offensive. Often a letter or a verbal statement to the harrasser voicing these opinions will stop the abuse. The Sexual Harrassment Officer can help you with the letter. Complaints should be registered with the Sexual Harrassment Officer or with the department or faculty. concerned.

Sexual harrassment

Don’t be a rube, lube! “I always use a lubricated condom, 1 don’t need to use any lubricant, right?” - Not necessarily. “Lubricant is only used for anal intercourse, right?” - Wrong again. A lot of people have heard about lubricants such as K-Y jelly, Lubafax, and Muco, but don’t really know about its benefits. This article discusses how lubricant can make sex sqfer and more ple&urable for any sexually active individual. Lubricant plays an important role in increasing the effectivenessof condoms in preventing sexually transmitted diseasesand unplanned pregnancies. Adding lubricant to a condom will reduce the amount of friction between the vaginal walls and the penis during intercourse, which in turn decreasesthe risk of a condom tear, ing. Insufficient lubrication is one cause of condom failure tit could easily be eliminated.

WelcOme to UW sports The University of Waterloo has been recognized throughout Canada for its academic prestige for many years now. But Waterloo, is also known for its many sporting achievements and organizations. Since the start of varsity competition at UW in the fall of 1958, Waterloo hascollected many national and provincial titles. There are the great memories of Waterloo’s spectacu@ Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union (CIAU) ice hockey gold medal win of 1974and the many trips to the national championships for men’s basketball. Last season, the men’s VolleybaIl team captured the bronze medal at the CIAU’s in Winnipeg. The women’s cross-country team ran to a phenomenal third place finish in the nation, placing two runners in the top ten in Canada. The Athletic Department at UW encourages the elite student athletes to try out for a spot on one or more of its varsity teams.Training camp and/ or tryouts for most of the fall teams starts in early or mid September A list of team meetings is supplied on this page. Most cmches have done extensive scouting searches for freshman athletes. But there are many talented sports enthusiasts that are missed in the search and later make the team roster. These athletes are called “walk-ons”and are not uncommon in Waterloo sports. First-year students are encouraged to try out for their favorite sport. If you follow sports but do not want totakeanactiveroleinthesecompetitive sports,come out and cheer on the teams at their home games. You can take in all the action by using your Athletic Season Ticket (which is included with your ID card stickers when you pay your fees). It entitles

you to admission to all Waterloo interuniversity home games up until the playoffs. There is the exciting Warrior Naismith Basketball Classic tournament in November;at which over 6,000 Waterloo faithful fill the PAC to see Waterloo’s greatest spectator spoti Also, with the uprise of the Warrior football program, many a curious eye will be out this season to catch the action at Seagram Stadium. Perhaps playing or watching varsity sports is not your ball of wax, but you still want to participate in a sport on a less competitive level through intramural sports.There is an endless list of sports, i.nstructionaI or recreational programs, and clubs in Waterloo’sCampus Recreation (C-R) prwam. Pick up a Campus Recreation brochure for details and then register at PAC 2039. The C-R pre gram also has various job opportunities pa&time for extra money, such as pool staff, instructors, referees, conveynon and organizers. Also, we have a slogan here at Imprint Sports: ‘Those who don’t play, write.” Why not kome an Imprint sports writer or photographer? There are many sports to chose from, so come down to Came pus Centre room 140 and sign up early. Your experience at the newspaper can be an eyeopener on your resume. Finally, on behalf of everyone here at Imprint sports, I would like to welcome all first-year students to Waterloo and encourage you to catch or take part in the action of Waterloo athletics.

Warriors look strong in camp; UW ready for OUAA gridiron counterparts 1ST WESTERN MUSTANG? (6-1)

Warrior ,Football by Rich Nichol rmprint staff

If anything, the 1990’swill mark a new era in Canadian university football. The departed decade sported no real surprises, and standings were somewhat predictable. With the exception of maybe Western, every team in the Ontario Universities Athletic Association will experience the full range of the successscalefrom juggernaut all the way down to league doormat. Already this season, look for some drastic changes in the standings. Here are how the teams should finish up in the regular season (last season’s team record in brackets):

@II Tschlrhart Bill Tschirhart TBA

No university has dominated one single varsity sport more than the University of Western Ontario has with its football program. Western proved that last seasonby capturing the national title in the Vanier Cup gameat the SkyDome. The Mustangs ,took the OUAA conference pennant in the regular season,finishing fust in offence tid defence by yardage. The team also spawned 15 provincial allstars and five AU-Canadians,including veteran linemen Rob Godley (offensive guard) and Tibor Ribi (tight end). Although the line may be strong, the running game may suffer in 1990. All-Canadian slot back Dave Sapunjis leaves the team after terrorizing the opposition for three solid years. He now plays for the Calgary Stampeders of the CFI, after leading the OUAA in TDs with seven and finishing third in punt returning. Also gone is the graduated senior quarterback Chris Gaff&y, who ranked second among QBs in passing and yardage.

Despite the losses,Western still has tremendous power and depth. Back for another year are running back Duane Forde and wide receiver Tyrone Williams, both of whom were instrumental in the Mustangs Vanier Cup victory. Yet, Western has been known to win gam& not by’ skill alone, but with intimidation. (UWO was the most penalized team in OUAA football last season) 2ND TORONTOYAXSlTY BLUES (5-2) Toronto is a team with no great starsbut a lot of good ones who work in near perfect cohesion Running back Lome King enters his junior year, after an OUAA all-star performance in 1989 in which he finished third in scoring overall and tied with Sapunjis of WO for the most majors in the OUAA.

OUAA football previews l cont’d from page 24 The Varsity Blues didn’t lose many key players due to graduation or eligibility limits, except maybe defensive lineman Rob Davidson. However, Toronto has almost always been known for its strong offensive and defensive lines. Weaknesses will show slightly in the other units. 3RD WATERUXI WARRIORS (4-3)

5TH WINDSOR &ERS (3-4) In the past few years, Windsor has developed a stonewall defence anchored by first-tAU$Lnadian lineman Nick LavalIe and CKJAA allstar defensive back Jim Aspropotomitis. Guard Gerald Hlady returns to play the offence one more year with a group of high potential rookie linemen. Dave Vanderhoeven led the team in scoring as most place kickers do and finished second among punters. ’ . Running the ground attack again this seasonwill be such stars as punt returner Ozzie Nethewle and Lancer top receiver Tim Sadai (344 yards on 16 completions for three TDs). A thorough recnritment process has put Windsor backinto contention for a playoff spot.

The Warriors’ statisticsweren’t the best in 1989 fifth in offensive yardage and seventh in defensive yardage - but at money time they pulled away with the wins.

Women’s interuniversity athletics

X-country and soccer Athenas aim high by Rich Nichol Imprint staff Here at the University of Waterloo there are 16 women’s interuniversity athletic teams, All of the chhs use the nickname Athenas, Athena being the Greek goddess of wisdom, prudent warfare, and womanly art, extolling the characteristics of learning, good judgment, and the mastery of athletic skills. Wearing the traditional black and gold, the Athenas play in the Ontario Women’s Interuniversity Athletic Association (OWIAA), a member of the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union (CLAU), the governing body for university sports in the nation. Here is a brief outlook on each of this year’s Athena squads: ATHENA BADMINTON Head coach: Tony Lea In his first year of coaching at UW, Lea will. try to correct the Athenas’ poor showing of eighth in the league last season. The team should improve, since only Jane Byers was lost to graduation. ATHENA BASKETBALL Head coach: Denise Dignard After two straight 2-l 2 seasons and major coaching changes during the off-season, this team is ready to move up in the OWIAA ranks. Veterans Leah Ann Erickson and Brenda Kraemer will power the offence, and Kathy Wordham (back from major knee surgery) will orchestrate the back court. ATHENA CROSS-COUNTRY Head coachz Jeff Anderson

’ Waterloo’s most successfuI women’s sport in 1989-90 was Athena cross-country.

of blood and aore -

Julius Caesar Stratford Festival July 28 to November 10

by Stacey Lobin and Derek Weilpr rIqmi.ntstaff /-

Juiius Caesaris perhaps one of the most easily accessibleof all Shakespeare’s plays. The language is unusually simple and the play’s structure is single-mindedly focussed on the climactic events that occur in the middle (not the end) of the play. Essentially, the play is concerned with the political machinations in ancient Rome that preceded and followed the assassinationof Julius Caesar,on the Ides of March, 44 B.C. The critical characteris Brutus, one of Rome’s elder statesman, who is drawn intothe plot against his better judgment. Julius Caesar and Brutus are both tools to be used by their younger

compatriots

Cassius and

Mark

Antony. It is Cassius who convinces Brutus that for “the general good” Caesar must die, while Antony uses the bloodinesS of the murder as a means of seizing political power for

himself, out of Brutus’ very hands. The play hinges on personal motivations disguised as political ones (Cassius} and v& verSa (Antony). The castingcontributes to this idea of master and puppet relationship: Brian Bedford asBrutus And Nicholas Penell as Caesar both give the impression of political figures who, while still powerful (and aware of it) are slightly befuddled, easy prey for their leaner, hungrier string-pullers.

ccW~eto the hand that shed this costly blood. . .1’ Colm Feore as Cassius.and Scott Wentworth as Antony are the real stars of the show. Feore conveys perfectly Cassius’ brooding menace, while Wentworth’s is more than up to

Antony’s masterful speech to the Roman plebs at Caesar’s funeral (easily the most important scene of the play). The text was great, the acting was the task of delivering

August I$1990 by Paul &me Imprint staff

While her career may have started by accident, when a Walkman-taped fireside performance found its way to England’s Cooking Vinyl records and was released as l%e TEUZ.S Camp@ Tapes,Michelle Shocked has since grabbed a firmer grip on the reins. Her second lp, the wonderful Short, Sharp,. Shucked was proof of the variety and excellence of her songwriting skill. With Captain Swing, Michelle pay homage to an affection for swing and big-band jazz which wasn’t evident in her first two outings. Unfortunately,

the production and band were not quite up to snuff on some of the lp, so the album occasionallyfizzled where it should have sizzled. The tour pairing of Michelle Shocked and Tower of Power seemed like an appealing one, since Tower’s all-

out brass attack seemedideal to inject the necessary zip into the Captain Swing material. And, I’m here to testify today that the pairing worked . . . but first the rest of the show. Tower of Power have been pump ing out their brand of whitened big band funk for over two decades,and have gone through innumerable personnel changesin the process.This is fairly unimportant with a group like Tower, though. Their sound is based far more on arrangements and group competence rather than tidividual excellence. As time has gone by, their oftcopied sound has become somewhat cliched - they drafted the blueprint for just about every late-night television show band, especially the Saturday Night Live Band.J3utig their set, they ran through a set which consisted of favorites culled from their long career such asthe evergreen “What is Hip?”

Power, simply devoured Michelle.

Despitethe problems in scale, she

forged a connection to the audience below. After the solo set, Tower of Power returned to the stage to accompany Michelle Shqcked in a romp through the material from Captain Swing, in the process adding some needed muscle to the material. Further, Michelle’s voice demonstrated far more power than one might have credited her with, easily holding her own when it would have been easyto be drowned out by the five-piece horn section. “On The Greener Side,” “Don’t Mess With My Little Sister,” and the rest were dispatched with aplomb. The best was saved for last though, as the band and Michelle encored with a cover of Robert Parker’s stompin’ soul classic “Barefootin’,” during which Michelle dispensed with her shoes and socks. After Tower of Power’s warmly Michelle Shocked has forcefully received set, Michelle Shocked came bust out of the pigeonhole into which on stage to perform her familiar she was placed along with the group acoustic set consisting of material of folkie women artistswho came into from her Shoti, Sharp, Shocked and prominence a few years ago. Her TerxarCam@& Tupeslps, along with a songwriting and performing skills are handful of unrecorded new-ies.The far too wide-ranging to permit easy huge stage at Superstars,whife ideal classification.I can’t wait to seewhich for a ten-man gang like Tower of way shell go next.

u--

past and present the so& flowing, formal togas and those neat skirt things with leather strips seemed to date backto the actualera,but clashed horribly with the bright yellow “Freedom, Liberty” t-shirts and black biker-sandals. The erratic costuming is probably meant to give an accepted timelessnessto the play, but succeeds only in creating a chaotic muddle of age and era. The staging of some scenes was inconsistent with the tone of the general staging. The dark, stark stage sported only a small stool and a moveable bust of Caesar as props, and continued that way until the fourth act. The bust of Caesar was raised and lowered periodically, but early on in the play it was raised and abandoned in the rafters of the playhouse, its function (never clearly defined) obviously over. The fourth actintroduced a sudden plethora of props, an almost overindulgent and over-the-top excess of cushions, tables, costumes, and chairs. After the Spartan emptiness of the play this far, the props are confusing and distracting. (They disappear shortly after, leaving the stage bare once more.) Ultz, the stage designer for this production, has lost his mind. Anyone who is pretentiously known by only one name must be suspected of dubious motives; anyone who conveys such confused and garbled messagesmust be trying truly, to mess with our heads. Where does the blame lie? The stage designer, the head of design or the artistic director? Certainly, the wonderful; however, there were quality of the artistic presentation of severalawkward points in designand ’ this year’ phys - not only hhs staging which detracted from the Caesar- is not up to par with the preplay’s overall fluidity. The costuming, &ion, eleganceand style of pmtiou~ for instance, was an odd mixture of productions.

Pubs Clubs and Hangouts by Chris and Judy and Paul Imprint staff Desert Rose Cafe - On Mill Street in Elora, the Rose offers fantastic mexican-vegatarian-artsie food at affordable prices. They have a great selection of imported beers and are famous for their frozen yogurt made with fresh fruit and served in homemade waffle cones. Elora Gorge Cinema - Elora’s repertory cinema offers cult classics, foreign films and more current blockbusters too. They often have series of films by certain film-makers or actors. If you have a car to get to Elora, it is a nice change of scene. The Bookshelf Cafe - Located in Guelph, the Bookshelf is an all-in-one evening out. The restaurant will quell your hunger while the neighbouring bookstore will satisfy your intellectual appetite. The cinema upstatis will finish off the evening with a good selection of films. This is definitely a hangout for U of Moo students, and is a good adventure outside Waterloo.

Baker Street Bistrp - This bistro in Cuelph has a delicious selection of international cuisine. It is somewhat pricey for student budgets, but would be good for a special occasion when you are looking for an intimate dining experience away .from Waterloo. Princess Cinema - If you buy a membership, this is the best movie deal in town - and the most interest-’

hg. The Princess is a repertory hema offering a great selection Of foreign films, cult classics and box office blbckbusters. They also host live acts-about once a month, including performers such as Andrew Cash. Located behind the Huether on Princess Street in Waterloo, this cinema is a must for dedicated filmgoers.

canning jars The Duke of Wellington - Located downstairs in the Atrium across from the Waterloo Town Square, you can actua.Ily buy bangers and mash here. They have draft Guinness too. This is a convincing English-style pub because it is friendly and feels cozy. It is not too expensive and you can play darts if you bring your own. Wordsworth Bmks - They have a much better selection than a typical C&s or W. H. Smith. Wordsworth recently expanded to become new and improved, so they are better than ever. It still isn’t as good a bargain as buying second hand books, but for new books it’s great. It is on King Street across from Waterloo Tow-n Square. Caravan Cafe - No need to saddle the camels, it’s located right next to the U. in University Shops Plaza II, Could this be the best falafel in town?

circles - BiIls itself as “Kitchener’s Premere ‘Gay Dance Bar.” Located behind Charlies in Downtown Kitchener, Circles fills’a hole (excuse the pun) in K-W’s social scene.

The Olde English Parlour - Emulating a British pub atmosphere, the Parlour, on King Street near Erb in Waterloo, is a place where you can play darts (remember to bring your own) and drink warm, dark beer by the mugful. It is expensive by student standards and attracts an older crowd. The Parlour has live entertain‘ment which usually consistsof someone playing a guitar and singing or someone playing the piano. Cafe Mozart -Beware! Mozart’s has an outrageous and decadent selection of rakes, pastries and other dessert temptations. Just looking at them can make you gain weight. They also have great coffees and teas, and if you order hot chocolate, it comes with a mguntain of real whipped cream on top. There is one on Queen Street near King in Kitchener and one in Waterloo on King Street near Erb. Fed Hall - One of UW’s claims to fame is being home to Canada’s targest student pub. Club Fed gets some of the hottest acts going, so strap on your boogie boots and dance your feet off. Remember, if you are a UW student under 19, you can get in but you will not be served any alcohol. McGinnis Landing - This is a popular place to go for dinner and drinks.

It is very close to campus (University Shops Plaza), so if you really want to chow down, and not spend your life’s savings, McGinnis is for you.

East Side Marion - At first glance this n-tay seem like “just another restaurant,” but the reasonable prices, consistent quality of the food and the all-you-can eat garlic bread and soup or salad make this one a keeper. Lulu ‘s - The longest bar in Canada lives at Lulu’s. If you want to check it out, be prepared for drunken middle aged swingers and Ronnie Hawkins. Oh yeah, don’t forget to wear your sequined headband. Stanley’s Burgers - If you want to get away from McGross-outs and other fast food chains, try Stanley’s Burgers. k’s not expensive and the fries are great. It is in Laurier Land near the comer of King and University.

eats. Angib has two kitchens. One is on Erb Street near King in Waterloo and the other is in St. Agatha. If you have a car, go to the one in St. Agatha. Veterans of Angie’s swear that the homemade sausages there are ambrosia. If you are ambitious and want to catch the breakfast special, be in St. Agatha by noon and in Waterloo by l&30. Mediterranean Cafe - A trendy place with a good variety of quiches and salads. In good weather they have an outdoor patio right there on King Street across from the King Centre. Prices are reasonable and the food is good.

Saucee tips - Located on Albert at Bearinger, their specialty is chicken wings. You can eat them there or get them to go. The prices are not the best in town and the suicide sauce only just brings a tear to your eye (that-:(;a

matter uf upirrion - ed.). Harmony Lunch - Probably the cheapest burger (many say the best) in town and their specialty is a burerer with fried onions. The decor is 195Os, and in fact, you almost expect Beaver Cleaver to come waltzing in to buy cracker jacks or pink elephant popcorn (they sell both). This is a happening place so go check it out for yourself. It is on King Street near Bridgeport.

Angie’s Kitchen Breakfast at Angie’s is a cosmic experience. They serve it all day lofig, so no matter what time you crawl out of bed, you can cure your hangover with their bottomless cup of coffee and homemade

Three Minute Deli - Though success has worn a little of the bloom of this downtown Kitchener legend, their breakfasts and brunchesare still top-rate.

HEAR YE, HEAR YE. THE SEX IS BACK IN SHAKESPEARE! At least, sex is back in Nightcap Production’s Romeo qnd Julk??e, ;which-played at the Stratford Festival July 27 to August 12. Nightcap is a young talented resident company of the annual Shakespeareon the Saskatchewan Festival. This summer, Nightcap is taking this particular production of Romeo and Juliet& across Canada. It’s a damn fine show. We’re convinced that old Bill is radiating heavenly beams from above for rescuing this fine play from eternal sappiness. Innuendo and healthy lust is what this play is all about. Did Romeo and Juliette have sex? OF COURSE! Why the debate? We were ali young once . . . and we, for two would much rather see Romeo in jeans and a tshirt than tights and a turtleneck. It gets worse. Purists may take further offense at the sight of Romeo and his young aristocrat/farmer friends hanging out of a beat-up Chevy, swilling cans of Labatt’sBlue and carousing like true sex-starved teenage dudes. (yes, the car and the beer were real! A bout 12 cans of Blue per show go down.) What else would young, rich aristocrats be doing? Mooning around spouting poetry - or gate crashing parties and picking up chicks? And on top of all this, the play is bilingual. Imagine the Capulets as French-speaking Saskatchewan farmers, and the Montagues as Englishspeaking rivaIs and neighbours. ‘ Sacfe bled Yee haw! The decision for bilingual Shakespeare waspurely artistic,and not supposed to be a comment on Meech Lake and the culture tensions in Canada.However, intentional or not, this bilingual Romeo and Julktte offered an excellent interpretation of our cultural differences. Co-director ROkft Lepage says norneo in etfect

nous ete...visionnaires?” (We understood that...we have the English version .) The play reflects ac<rurately the reality of French/English relations. For example, Romeo and the English speaking-Montaguescmouldnot speak French. So the French speaking Capulcts, Juliette et al, would stitch to heavily accented English when together with the Montagues. Sound familiar? But enough babbling. The most visually striking thing about the play is its setting. The theatre is actually a huge outdoor tent, with two entrancesat either end. The audience sits in bleachers on either side of a paved road running through the tent, and the actors drive in and out in their cars and pickups. Indoor scenesrequire only a bed; one is easily captivated by the action and need not rely on other visual references for setting. Sometimes, the constant running up and down is a little distracting, but not too much. The fight scenesare quite real and violent . . I so violent in fact that the crriginalMercutio broke his jaw opening night in the opening scene. We were late for the first scene because we were searchingfor a hill on which to park (long story, rusty car) and we unfortunately missed it. Oh well. . Most sceneswere quite straightforward. In a few, however, the company generated a surrealist dreamscape, using slow motion (Romeo first seesJuliette across the crowded dance floor), leatherclad drug dealers (Juliette buys her sleep poison) and ghostly apparitions (Mercutio and Tybalt appear and disappear). These sceneswere not silly; rather, they were exciting, tense and fascinating managing to Iift the audience out of the bleacher seating. We’d recommend you go see this play, except it’s not playing Stratford anymore. So . . . we hope you’ve enjoyed this pointless review. Honestly, though, if you ever have the chanceto seeit in another city, grab it. It can’t be missed.

unbelievbly easy to forget that Goodbye Jumbo is a pop album, for Karl Wallinger loads it full of heavy thoughts, transforming what should be fun into a ponderance regarding the possibility of re-creating objective reality.

pilot program where background music is used to control the composition of crowds in an Edmonton park. By playing classical music on loudspeakers mounted in the trees, civic leaders hoped to chase bums and drug dealers away and attract yuppies and affknt oldsters. The theory is that there are certain types of music - or even specific groups of sounds - that will affect predetermined segments of the populace enough to m&e them gvt up and actually, physically leave. The possibilities are endless. Thorough demographic control without t:vcn having to resort tr) subliminals. However, contr4>1 will probably never bc complete.

Wallinger’s puzzle, I’ve failed to figure it out. A bit of it makes some sense, though. It opens with two rollicking songs which both contain dire lyrics: beautiful packages with rotted contents. This pattern continues with little variation, but the music begins to fit the message of desperation more and more as the album continues. Somewhere near the middle of the second side the songs mirror the themes: the tunes are-as plaintive as the words (“God on My Side”). But “Thank You World,” the concluding piece, defies logic; after an album’s worth of sorrow, Wallinger almost sounds happy, and ‘7’hank You World” sounds in no way sarcastic. Go figure, go buy.

The University qf Waterloo

A- history of our school by Martin Vnn Nierop CourtesyInformationandPubIicAffairs,

This year (19%) marks the 33rd anniversary of the founding of the University ot Waterloo. Thirty-two years ago last July, 75 students gather+ &ether on the campus of what was then d&erloo College (an affiliate of the University of Western Ontario now known as Wilfrid Laurier Univenjity) in the city of Waterloo. The original 75 were entering a new university-level engineering program, the first in Canada ever. offered on the “cooperative” principle according to which students alternate between their studies on campus and related jobs in industry, busine$s or the public service, every four months. Seen in retrospect, the attempt to establish a school of engineering within the KitchenerWaterloo community becomes readily understandable. The “twin cities” of Kitchener and Waterloo had, over the years, acquired a diversified industrial structure which included the electronics, plastics and rubber industries, utilizing state-of-the-art technology. The 30s were years of intense new interest in technology development; the Soviet Union had just put the first man in space;solid state physics was promising miraculous new electronic devices; atomic energy generating

they proceeded to their degrees. Soon, however, they began to realize that not only did the co-op system give them the opportunity to earn their way through school, it gave them superior educations, since what they learned in the classroom could be supplemented by workplac? experience, as they went out &.‘their wbrk terms. The neti progrti flour&hed and the buildup of the needed faculty expertise included not only those who could teach engineering.. . but science and mathematics specialists as weIl.

Before-lorigthe new program threatened to swamp the small (4QO-student)college that had spawned it and perhaps inevitably, rifts occurred. The AssociateFacultiesdetermined to go its own way independently. Early in 1958 a new 235-acre was purchased .at what was then the northwest comer of the community. Much of it involved what was known as the Schweitzer family

population numbered almost 5,000; the graduate enrolment was 750 and there were 384 faculty. The faculty of mathematics was formed in 1967, followed by the faculty of human kinetics and leisure&dies, whiigrew out ofthe schodl 0: physical and heal& education. The @i&y 9f environmenti~~s took ..‘i. foti iit 1970: . Today, Waterloo offers a wide range of ’ academic programs through its six faculties, and the researchactivities of its faculty members and students covers a wide spectrum including science (pure and applied), health studies, behavioral’studies, social studies, the humanities, languages,the arts, the environment, and the urban environment. . . That the University has been highly successfulis to be seen in the fact that todav it has more than 25,000 students includini more than 15,500full-time students; it has approximately 800 full-time faculty members, and

Waterloo’s success relates to the decision, made early on in the institution’s history, to allow its students to have “hands-on” experience with the computer. Back in the late ‘5Us,when the university had its bG@n.r@ngs, the camputer was just beginning to came into its&n.. . beyond its use as a ma&&e for the keeping of accounting records. :: Computer ni’aodeling-- involving complex phenomena of all types - and computer decision making were still on the threshold; but the future had become clear enough that Waterloo’s innovative professors felt the best way to equip students for it was to permit them to work with computers directly. This meant hundreds (initially, and later thousands) of students working at keypunches and submitting their individual programs to a mainframe computer, convenient to them on campus.It was soon found desirable to create some new special com-

close to 2,000 fulMrne support staff. It is the fourth largest university in Ontario

puter software, to. permit the mainframe to handle these unusual (at the time) needs. It was from these decisions: first, to make the computer readily available to students and ‘second, to meate new software so this could in fact come about, that Waterloo’snowvaunted reputation for mathematicsand computer research has arisen. Today, Waterloo not only has a major faculty of engineering on its campus, it also hasthe world’s largesacultyof mathematics.. . though admittedly this claim is hard to establish. (The Soviet Union is also known to have a very large one). Engineering and computer science(the latter, a branch of the faculty of -mthematics) have earned the University of Waterloo a widespread reputation throughout the academic world, and in business, industry ---and government as well.

Founded in 1957 plants were seen as the hope for the future; serious concerns over environmental problems had scarcelybegun to emerge. ,Thc Univ&ty;qf ~&+o was thus founded in a socialclimate of hope tid optimism.. , when it was also beginning to be recognized that Canada could very soon have vast new needs for technological expertise, on a scale not previously dreamed of. The founding president,, J. G. “Gerry” Hagey, at that time president of Waterloo College (a small, Lutheran church-owned college affiliated with the University of Western Ontario) had become imbued with the spirit of progress and with the idea of launching a co-operative engineering program. His enthusiasmwas shared by a number of industrial leadersin the community, including Carl Pollock, the president of the largest . electronics-related company in KitchenerWaterloo (Electrohome) and Ira Needles, president of one of the three major rubber companies (B. F. Goodrich) and himself a graduate of a co-op university in the United ’ States, many years earlier. That the venture would be successful’’ beyond the wildest dreams of its founders soon became readily apparent. Students flocked to the campus, initially attracted by the idea of earning their way, as

farm. Plans for new buildings began to be drawn up and moves were made to create a new and completely separate institution, today’s University of Waterloo. By December, 1958, the first building on the new campus was open, still’ known as “engineering 1.” In 1959 the faculty of science came into being, as distinct from the faculty of engineering. The creation of the faculty of arts followed (the first arts lectures were given in the fall of 1960). Buildings were added; funds were raised, and the pace of growth quickened. In 1962 the university was physically expanded to approximately 1,000 acres,with the purchase of the 750-acre “north” campus. Renison College (Anglican) and the’ University of St. Jerome’s College (Roman Catholic) entered into agreements of a.ffZation and federation, respectively, with the new university in 1960.(St.Jerome’shad long existed in the c~mmurtity, having been founded in 1864; prior to federation with UW it had been affiliated Ottawa.)

with the University

25,000 students now at IN Both colleges proceeded to erect buildings on the west side of the new campus. They were followed by St. Paul’s College (United Church), in 1963, and Conrad Grebel College (Mennonite) in 1964. One boon the church colleges provided, i.r&lIy, was residence accommodation for the thous&s.of students who were starting to flock to the campus. The co-operative programs attracted unusually large numbers from acrossthe province, as well as from the Kitchener-Waterloo area itself. Housing became imperative; it was not until 1964 that the young university began to plan its own student housing - known today as the “viUage 1” complex.

UW President Douglas Wright

Rapid growth continued throughout the ’60s.By 1967 - at the end of the first decade - the University’s undergraduate student

The reason Waterloo has proved So SuCcessful is primarily, the appeal of the to-0p system. The fact that the co-op principle as developed by Waterloo is successful & undeniable. Today, Waterloo has more than 10,000co-op students.. . more than any other university in the world. Moreover, the co-op education concept is now being applied in dozens of other universities, community colleges and even high schools, across Canada.

With any problem, the first step toward a solutionis recognizing that a problem indeed sists. As the twentieth century closes,many leople are taking that first step. Awareness of he myriad environmental problems and acid injustices in our world has risen iramatically. The media is full of stories on environmental degradation ranging from acidrain and ozone depletion, to deforestaion and the greenhouse effect Extensive Ioverage of social injustices range from apartheid and the dictatorships of Central America, to the plight of the homeless and 3rd Nations people (Native Indians). But what can any one person do about hese problems, which seem massive and nsurmountable? In the faceof them, one feels mwerless.However, eachperson does have a *oice. You can choose to take the path bf lope or that of despair. The path of despair eads to inaction; your situation deteriorates, Nhich in turn feeds your despair. The path of lope leads to action, which can bring about Ihange, which bolsters your hope. After briefly considering your situation, md discoveringthat you have no other planet :olive on, have you chosen the path of hope? Lfso,.will you recklessly set out on your jourley, or first provision yourself? But what pr* &ions? This path has not been trod before, here are no blazes,no experts. Knowiing where you don’t want to be still eavesyou with an infinite number of possible kstinations. How will you choose?How ylse )ther than by gaining knowledge and thereby xing better able to make these decisions. In taking your second step toward a soluion, we are not suggestinga specific solution 3ut a process,that of learn&g through investigatioq sharing and experience. At the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group [WPIRG), we know this as research,educaSon and action, which the organization has been engaged in for the past seventeen years.

Power through collective effort

Individually, each student has limited time md moneyto apply to any given problem. At WIRG, the resources of the entire undergraduate student body have been POOledtogether to create an organization dedicated to facilitating research and educason that empowers people to act on social jus ice and environmental issues.What no one mdividual student could ever hope to accomDlishis within the realm of possibility when iach student contributes the small fee of $3.15 >er term. This money, when consolidated,

funds an organization with a full-time researcher,a resources’ coordinator, and an alternative resource centre in a permanent office on campus. Although a small, student organization, WPIRG has been recognized internationally. In 1989, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) recognized VVPIRG for lead&ship and excellence in environmental protection

Not only is WPIRG student-funded, but it is directed by a board of seven student-elected undergraduates and two members of the community at large. We are your public interest research group (PIRG). You, the students, are an integral part of the community, the public’ in whose interest we do our research and education. Yours are the issueswe wish to address.

Graphic by Paul Sk. Marie Public-interest research is the skill of discovering and disseminating information that enables people to make informed decisions Onissues.That information also he1pspeople to both understand and influence decisions made by others on their behalf. Publicinterest. research provides an alternative some of information to that which originates from government, business, the academic community, and the popular media. In some cases,this simply means translating research already done by academics or scientists into a form more accessible to a larger audience. In others, it means uncovering new information through original research. Over the years, WPIRG has done this research in a variety of areas, most notably: acid rain, electricity generation, waste management, tenants’ rights, and food retail. This researchhas been published and is available for purchase or loan through the WPIRG office. Our current researchproject is excesspackaging and will be available in the fall.

LA PARTY

Environmental concerns need not be restricted to students of Environmental Resource Studies, just as soc@l.justiceissues need not be restricted to students of %ciology or philosophy. All human endeavors are interrelated and impact on each other. So no matter where your interests lie, WPIRG is open to investigating your concerns. How can we aid you ti your second step? As mentioned above, MLPIRG provides an alternative resource centre, consisting of: journals, books, video tapes, government documents and newspaper articles: We have just catalogued the holdings of our resource centre and put this information in a database. We are now in the process of culling and updating. The centre exists to empower its membership through information. You, the WPIRG members, can borrow books and journals from the centre. If you discover that there-are books or journals that you can not get elsewhere and to which you would like to have access?Pleaselet us know.

For those who wish to pursue this path more vigorously, engage yourself in a singleissueWorkgroup. The Workgroups provide a vehicle for you to explore an issue initiated by the members of the group. WPIRG provides resources and guidance to help each group meet its goals. Past workgroups have addressed issuessuch as: Apartheid, Recycling, fnnu Solidarity, and Domestic Water Resources. Does this oppb rhmity interest you? Register now for one of our two Volunteer Oxientation Sasions. Thesesessionswill provide you with a moredetailed picture of your PIRG and the variety of ways you could become involved. You may even befriend someone else with similar views as yourself. These groups are facilitated by one of the Workgroup members. Facilitation is the art of effectively drawing out each member’s skills and helping them overcome their weaknessesin order to create a productive group. Doesthis seemchallenging to you, if so,come out to our Workgroup Facilitation Workshop. There are many ways in which you can become involved in public interest research including: public speaking, event organization, writing articles, poster design, and research.Also the day to day running of the organization requires considerable peoplepower to staff the reception desk and the resource centre. Of the future, the only thing of certainty that we can say, is that the more people that take the path of despair, the less our chances are of surviving into the next century. Conversely, the adventure of the path of hope can be filled with the joy of working with others and bringing to bear your talents on the problems at hand. We eagerly await your arrival. Pleasepre-register for all of these events so that we can make appropriate arrangements. You can dropoff your registration at WPlRG’s office and pay us a visit, or alternatively at the Turnkey desk in the Campus Centre. WPIRG is located in rwm 123of the General Services Complex, which is acrossfrom the Davis Centre.

Instead, with these controls of society discarded, biting reflections of our sexual obsessions and practices shock us into amusement and laughter. No doubt this kind of revealing and penetrating art will be subject to controversy in due time, which is not only a shame,but exactly the attitudes and reaction Kanders himself portrays in his paintings.

Salvador Dali while remaining faithful to the medieval painter Hieronymus Bosch, Kanters creates his own mythology of symbols and images. Signs of Freudian, Jungian and Lacanian origin abound in barren, existential landscapes centralizing around western society’s

These two ideas,dualism and propaganda, give us a conceptual sp*gboard from which we can begin to reassess the societal and political place of popular music. Rock’n’roll, as it has been defined’ by its manufacturers and performers, pro&ims itself as the repository of youth, of dreams of success,a life of leisure, sexual power and fame. It cultivates an aura of wildness and rebellion. The reality and corporate control over pop music, though, serves to alert us to the form’s dualistic identity. As much planning and clearminded, pragmatic consideration goes into the marketing and and selling of a rock group as goes into the selling of a car. More, in fact. The commodity known as popular music depends on far more cultural variables.

On September 24, 1976, the student council executive panicked. Since 1966, the chevronhad served, for the most part admirably, as the University of Waterloo’s student newspaper. At that time, though, the growing feeling on campus (and especially among the Federation of Students) was that the chevronwas no longer fulfilling its duties asa student newspaper. Over the past summer, this problem with the chevron’scontent had become the prime issue of student Federation politics. Shane Roberts was President of the Federation, and therefore he felt this tension perhaps more acutely than anyone else. The essential problem seemed to be in thechevron’seditorial bias. In the

COPPER ELECTRICALVUI;km

Once, way back when, waaay back in the mists of time Cabaret Voltaire were considered to be on the “cutting edge” of some new sound: Industrial music. Disembodied voices, found tapes and cut-ups, whining, grating synths were thrown like a blanket over the clanking beat. The Cabs had a knack for it, they could, at times, make the most experimental and challenging noises sound interesting and compelling. They also had enough smarts to bail out when the going was good. They shaved off the rougher edges and became dance floor gurus when the bloom was starting to go off the Industrial rose.In a lot of ways, their music became even more chaIlengin& applying those old industrial techniques in a new context put them head and shoulders above the competition. But somehow events have overtaken the Cabs. It’s kind of- ironic that the same techniques they wielded so effectively have been appropriated by the hordes of mindless House masters. Groovy finds the Cabs playing catch up. They’re trying to sound au courant, hip and clued in; but instead the smell of desperation waf& but of the tape deck Whatever the “point” of House music is, Cabaret Voltaire have definitely missed it. I was really surprised to hear how incredibly bad this album is. I’m no big fan,of House, (come to think of it is anyone a House “fan”?) but I can’t describe how mindless, how empty this album is. Thoroughly mindless beatsare further stained by repetitive and irritating synth and tape effects. Completely bereft of inspiration, ideas or anything, this product seems to just he there, begging you to pick it up and throw it as far away as possible.

Though Holly is undoubtedly thk starof this album, the other two mem. bers of her trio, Aaron Davis on piant and David Piltch on bass, provide some wonderfully understated back ing. The few brassflourishes are well. placed to augment the tasteful]) sparse music. Though a profound distastefor tht Cowboy junkies makes me loath tc admit it, the warm, intimate sounc produced by the live recording witi the Calrec Ambisonic microphone ii absolutely perfect for these recor dings. The sound drifts out of tht speakers swirling and insinuating around the listener like a mist of emo tion. Not only are Holly’s vocalscorn municated with great authenticity but the playing of Davis and PiItch i captured with all the subtleties which are a part of acoustic musicianship. As a Smokey fan, it’s no surprise that my favorite track on Girl Taik iz Holly’s magnificent and surprising version of Mr. Robinson’s “Cruisin’.’ While the rhythm is slapped out or the body of the bass,Holly Cole turn: the song into a paean to the virtues 0: summer sun, music on the stereoant romance in convertibles. Though it has been done to death the version of ‘Ym So Lonesome Could Cry” puts a new twist on tht old rope. The aching vulnerability o her voice strangely recalls the young Michael Jacksonwith the Jackson5. Holly sounds most comfortablt though when she is reinterpret@ old plums like “Melancholy Baby,’ ‘Talk to Me Baby,” and the title track The countless performances of these songs at clubs up and down Queer St. have not diminished the intens+ and feeling which she manages tt impart to each one. The ballads achr with the pain of a million broken pro mises, of a million lie8 believed. -There is a playfulness about thf album which defusesany chancetha it might turn into a drudge of beatiq one emotional setting to death. Iikr the version of “Cruisin’,” Holly’s ver sion of Pet Clark% ‘Downtown’ augments the album’s fun quotien considerably. This album is a revelation. While i was always obvious from her omnip resenceon Queen St.,that Holly Cola had a fme voice, Girl Talk makes i clear that she a song interpreter pa excellence. Many people can sin1 well with their lungs and vocal: chords. Holly Cole sings weU wit1 her heart, too.

Let the Rhythm Hit ‘Em is a great sounding album with Rakim dodging in and out of the funky beats like a prizefighter: propulsive beats which demand physical interaction. The vacuousness of the album is more ironic considering Rakim’s membership in the Five Percent, a dogmatic sect of the Black Muslims. His “third eye” imagery which recurs throughout the record indicates the possit&tv of somethinrr other than breast-besting a pos&ility which never reaches fruition.

It’s a strange set of values which determines that black artists should be more socially aware than white ones, but hip-hop’s proven ability to deal with difficult issues is something that should be expIoited. There probably isn’t a better sounding rapper than Rakim working in hip-hop today. His rumbling, _‘.

Eight leas runnina nowhere by J. Michael Ryan Imprint staff I didn’t have too many expectations of Aruchnophobitz.After all, it was billed in previews as a “thrillomedy”, and fat buffoon John Goodman was featured prominently in the advertising. But Aruchnophobiu mercifully fails to deliver on the”-omedy” but comes through with thrills aplenty. Sure the characters share a few quips and wise asscomments ,but to saythis is anything closeto comedy is a transparent marketing attempt to appeal to the broadest possible demographic. The plot itself is pretty shop worn:

lethal creatures inadvertently introduced to smal.Itown, hero tries to persuade disbelieving bone heads that something is amiss, sirnultaneously battling the creatures.So while there are few surprises overall, the film makers are pretty shameless in exploiting the natural squeamishness that most folks have toward arachnoids. The worst part is, you never know where those vicious little creepy crawlies are: the ceiling, inside a lamp shade,in the shower. The tension mounts and mounts while hapless arachnophobe Jeff Daniels goes crazy trying to save his family from the spider general and his marauding hordes.

The cast is pretty undistinguished - sit-corn cast offs, and characterless stereotypes for the most part, Julian Sands does a serviceable job as the snarky scientist, fascinated by the spiders as a phenomenon, but willfully ignorant of 1 their social implications. A subtle allegory for how scientists and their blind worship of so called “progress” have landed our planet in its present mess? Probably not. The film succeeds in providing some cheap thrills though it’s pretty obvious the film makers pulled a few punches at the cost of missing a fair amount of opportunities to scare the HELL out of the audience.

societal construct which is based the concept of the commodity. The ritual is the most important part of the marketing process of pop culture. Through rituals which have been programmed into the consumer from the firsttime they came into contact with the media, the agents of media control can tap into the deepest desires of humans. The desire for love, for security, for a sense of self-validation - each of these can be utilized to mold and sway the consumer. Through the enforcement of the empty ritual - the spectacle - spontaneous behaviour can be repressed and in its place a false spontanaeity, one which is defined by learned patterns. Why do people behave in -specific way in specific settings? Because it is the natural thing to do? Or because commercials and other media have taught them that one is suppused to drink beer and ogle women on the beach; that one is supposed to clap along with Jon Bon Jovi when he puts his hands up in the air; that one is supposed to feel envious of

the man with his possessions: the Porsche and the woman, in the Braun commercials. . Where once musicians were’ the interpreters of social change, they have become the enforcers of societal dysfunction Upon the realization of the power contained within the mythological character of the musician, the agents of social control seized and subverted the process, all iconoclastic images murdering which stood in the way - dead stars piled up in mounds. We no longer.have musicians,only Musicians - expressions of a few expedient cliches ‘7he Sex God,” “The Rebel,” “The Boy Toy,” ‘7’he Boy/Girl Next Door,” “The Bitch,”

“The sensitive One.” As the need devel@, these may be reconstituted and recombined to produce the false sensation of “new” or “different” within the consumer. The nbsicians themselves are not free to define themselves since they have been programmed with the during their entire stereotypes experience interacting with pop culture. Secondly, since a handful of record companies control and dictate the production and promotion of pop music, their monopoly grip wil not allow va$ations to slip through In archetyped form, the musician now stands as the strongest reinforcer of the social process of commodification, consumption and control. In representing production and consumption in their maximal forms, the musical performer is thrice dead: as dead as the consumFr, as dead as the producer, and as dead as the archetypal commodity that they represent. The pop star is idealized, for the massive acts of consumption which they perform. They buy more material goods than the public at large. Myths are created surrounding unbelievable accounts of alcoho!, drug, and food gluttony. Finally, since the rock star has traditionally been male, legendary appetites for sexual consumption are frequent. When we speak of the rock star as producer, we must understand concerts as product. In this context, the mythology of “life on the road” and the massive fatigue and effort which we are supposed to associate with this same myth defines pop stars as producers of legend. And third, as soon as a person allows their efforts to be reconstituted and packages as a commodity, they

canno? be separated from that commodity. In fact the mystification of the pop star is a process which defines the person in terms of their com-

modities, not in human terms. Thus, the commodification is the murder of the pop star as individual. Can pop music, and consequently the musician, be rescued from the gutter of greed, bigotry and regressiveness into which they have slipped? Not without some serious revision in societal attitudes toward greed, the social justice system, exploitation, women, peoples of colour, international I relations and every other facet into which the cancer of commodity materialism has eaten. Pop music is a propaganda, with

every stereotyped image and enactment of the ritual of consumption, it reinforces the values upon which our dysfunctional society has been constructed. The pleasures it proclaimed to offer are the pleasures of the anesthetic; the numbness of sensory dullness which infuses everything with a pinky glow. The incredible power that music possesses to affect and influence means that it is far too important to be abandoned completely to the corforces who presently porate dominate it. Many have entered the pop world with intentions of imposing change or inflicting destruction, none have survived with their ideals intact. Punk rock and the Summer of Love are bitter irony sold over and over to willing consumers as though fiere were substance to the legend -

there isn’t. Pop culture must be approached and consumed with full awareness of its intent - to anesthetize and reduce the individuhl into a automated consumption device. With due caution and criticism, perhaps we can ‘begin to sift through the detritus for the few worthwhile gems, If not, if we accept pop culture without criticism, we choose a spiritual euthanasia - we choose to be isolated and insulated in the allencompassing media experience. The human and environmental wreckage of our planet will be cleaned up and processed into another set of inputs designed to produce a specific set of acts if consumption. And as walls collapse around us, we will be comfortable and safe with the radiance of the TV shining upon our faces.
