R@rendumsetfor November

Student’ Life proposal is here by Peter Brown Imprint staff On November 21 and 22, you will decide on the largest expenditure ever undertaken by students at the University of Waterloo. That’s right, plans for a Student Lie Building have finally solidified into the form uf a feasibility study that identifies three varying scales ranging from of the project $12,000,000 to $21,000,000. l’he document, created by Brisbin Brook Beynon, architects, discusses the various financial, functional, and aesthetic aspects of the project. The architects believe “that the SLC building can have a positive effect in terms of new facilities, of provision revitalization of new buildings and reinforcement of the imageability and identity of the campus as a whole.” The central part of all three schemes is a recreation complex that would contain a 200 metre indoor track with infield activity area and seating gallery, along with an expansion of the facilities currently offered in the Physical Activities Complex (PAC). This new complex would be built adjacent to the PAC in the grassy area between it and B.C. Matthews Hall. Iabelled Scheme A by the architects, this project would cost $1 Z,OOO,OOO dollars. The other two schemes are addens to this. Scheme B would include a ’ ., - .

50 metre indoor swimming pool and seating gallery built in a floor below the track, and Scheme C would join this complex to the Campus Centre with a Student Life-Centre. This centre would contain an expanded version of the Campus Centre, with space for Federation offices, CKMS, Imprint meeting rooms, lounges, and retail space. This site for the complex was chosen over the other potential site, north of campus (behind Columbia Icefield) because it would be VunctionaIly at the heart of the campus. Pedestrian traffic is very intense in this area and captures high volume traffic between the academic campus and the residential villages,” according to the feasibility study. Also, the “South Campus” location adjacent to the PAC and CC would allow the linking of related services. The study ako describes many structural aspects that would contribute to the aesthetic appeal of the area, especially with the creation of three smallergrassy areas: Federation Court, The Row, and Alumni Row. This last area, between the SLC and the Central Services building, would Consist of a “more formal ceremonial open space here which would . . . serve as the centre for graduation exercises, ahmni gatherings, and other large ceremonial gatherings” Stay tuned for more information about the Student tife Complex as the referendum nears.

Navs ‘Comment

Rally for choice by Fiuna Milles Rightto Choice Association The Right to Choice Association is holding a rally and march on Sat., Oct. 13, beginning at 12:00 noon at the Gazebo in Victoria Park, Kitchener. Oct. 13 is a”National Day of Action for Choice.” It was called by the Canadian Abortion Rights Action League (CARAL) and is supported by the Pro-Choice Network Action (PUN). Across Canada, people will be Wbrching For Women’s Lives,” which is the theme of the dayThe K-W Right to Choice Association was organized by students on campus to suppartthe pro-choice view. The issue of reproductive choice is contentious and poorly understood. There are, we aie told, two sides to the issue: . pro-choice and pro-life. By framing the debate in this way, the two opposing points of view are presented as balanced extremes between which all moderate Canadians must steer a path. In fact, there are not twc singleissue extremes; there is one moderate position and one extreme. A pro-choice standpoint is not proabortion; it is not pro-death (as the term “pro-life” would suggest). It supports the right of the individual, and in the case of reproduction the individual is necessarily a woman, to make decisions about her reproductive life and for these decisions to be more lhqn abetract, access to the 1’ I-I . _ P’.

Poverty5is crux Of environmental by Jennycroft imprintstaff

Everybody wants to save the world, and everybody, it seems, has heir own priority for saving it. For Stephen Lewis, poverty is at he crux of the environmental debate md, if left unresolved, will make our Ylanet’s survival extremely tenuous. “It’s not to manifest our generosity like we did during the Ethiopian famine that we need the developing world, or because we want them for :rading partners, ” said Lewis, “but to save the planet. It’s as simple as :hat.”

is reserved for use in cash crops to pay the interest on their debts. The developing world tries desperately to overcome this “bleak swamp of despair,”said Lewis, “but the chasm between the developed world on one hand and the developing on the other is becoming virtually unbridgeable.”

It is poverty in the developing underlies the that world phenomenon of spiralling population growth, said Lewis, which in turn burdens land and resource use. “Families in thse countries have more and more children because they need them to work, to get food, to get wood - they become a matter of life itself, and the more children you have, the more you might be able to survive! It’s the ultimate paradox,”

Most of these countries live off the export of one or two commodities to coffee, for one. It was interesting hear that the price paid per metric ton for coffee to these developing nations has decreased from 3,500 pounds sterling to a mere 500, and yet the price in the stores has not reflected that drop.

Lewis said, explaining that population rates declined when mortality rates were first reduced. “The strongest contraceptive in the developing world is the knowledge your children will live, because if your children will live then you don’t feel the need to have so many.”

Speaking to an audience of about 300 at the Human’ities Theatre on Thurs. Oct. 4, the former ambassador to the United Nations, Lewis paraphrased a speech given by Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe on behalf of IO0 non-aligned, developing and third world countries. means

Spirahg populationpub pressure on the land as more and more people move “into the hinterland,” cutting their way through rainforest in an attempt to eke out some sort of existence. Meanwhile, the truly arable and productive a&iculturai land

many of the countries of Latin Americaand the Caribbean, and poor countries of Asia Iike Bangladesh - it makes it absolutely impossible for them, no matter how hard they try to reform their economies. They are straight-jacketed.” In one day, in October 1987, the western world lost, on the stock market crash, four times the entire African debt. “And yet, you will notice,” said Lewis, “that capitalism is stiI1 limping along.”

Summit for children

“So just who is getting the money?

Spiralling population hurts environment

“If you think that the environment acid rain, hazardous waste disposal, recycling activities, polluted lakes and rivers,” Lewis said, “and you want to do something about it, go ahead, be our guests; we understand your priorities. But if you want us, in the developing worlds to collaborate, then you have to understand that the environment means one thing and one thing only, and that’s poverty.”

Debt repayment is another constraint for developing nations, one that also clearly outrages Lewis. “By 1990,” he explained, “over and above what we h’ansfer to them by way of loans, grants, investment and trade, they pay us, by way of interest on their debts and capital repayment, 42 billion dollars more. It’s an international and economic obscenity,” he said, “what it does is make it absolutely impossible for the poorest of the developing countries - the 45 countries of sub-Saharan Africa,

Where is it going?” Lewis asks, and then thunders his outrage. “When western society dictates the amount they will buy and the price they will pay, these large groups of countries consigned to plermanent are impoverishment.”

‘It was an exhilarating experience. One should not over-exaggerate the context of those extraordinary meetings, but the fact of the matter is, one felt again that the world was inching along that real pro&.ss was being made in terms of children and that conceivably something positive would fiow from that. There’s never been such a large gathering of world leaders at any event in one place in the history of humankind - 71 heads of government, gathered together to deal with the issue of children, to set out a chart& and a program of action which establishes. a series of goals and targets which, if achieved, would result in the saving of 50 million lives! In an increasing crescendo over the course of the 196Os, 7Os, and ‘~OS,

the world finally came to understand the acute vulnerability of children and the need to construct a series of defences in order to sustain better their durability. Finally, stimulated by the charismatic and principled leadership of UNICEF, the world leaders came together to deal with the grotesque violations to the lives and survival of children in the developing world. I want to remind you of the central truths. Seven thousand children under the age of five die every single day in the developing world from entirely preventable diseases, diseases that are rarely even talked about b anymore in a country like this: measles, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough. And all it takes to save

Gauchat

Every single day in the developing world, another 8,000 children under the age of five die from the greatest child-killer of them all: dehydration induced by diarrhea. There is a simple cure. The British technical magazine Luncet called it the most remarkable scientific discovery in the last quarter of the 21st century, and it’s called Oral Hydration Therapy. It’s a little packet of sugar and salt, which, when mixed with water and ingested orally, stops the dehydration, induces hydration, and the child lives. A packet of rehydration salt costs seven cents. Seven cents for the life of a child.

Another 7,000 children under the age of five die every single day in the developing world from acute resusually piratory infection, pneumonia, all for the lack of antibiotics valued at one dollar. Every day, 1,000 children go blind in the absence of vitamin-A supplement valued at something under 10 cents. It’s worth asking yourself what kind of international society we have constructed? What kind of values do we embrace that we are prepared to Iose up to 14 m.iIlion lives every year in the absence of pennies? We have what we call the noisy emergencies; you can get two billion dollars a month to sustain the response to Iraq, and then we have the silent catastrophe: the obscene daily harvestof chilclren, and we can’t get, relatively speaking a few dollars a month to save their lives. The world leaders understood that a lot of lives would be saved by some modest application of these 1Ow cost, highly effective measures, and if one turns one’s mind to it, by the end of the 1990s you could make a stunning turnaround. If it doesn’t turn around in the 199Os, the world won’t be worth inheriting and if we can’t achieve it through international cooperation, then it cannot be achieved.”

Jnion, and the great test came vyould the Sovia Union withdraw from Afghanistan? It did. The Iran-Iraq war stopped, there were glimmers of hope for South Africa, Vietnam withdrew from Cambodia, and the UN won the Nobel Prize for peace keeping. Suddenly, everything was in place and everyone looked at what the first test would be for the UN in its revival from what the charter expected in 1945. ID and behold! The first test involves traq, and diplomats at the UN were positively pinching themselves at the good luck of getting the one villain in the world on whose villainy everyone could agree! It might have been Panama or Israel and then you’d get the kind of divisions which could not affect rap prochement. But with Iraq, everybody is onside and therefore the UN appears to be working and the effecGveness in the Security Council activities around Iraq suggest there may be further effectivenes down the road.”

OnthdJN: The United Nations has very much come into it’s own. It’s experiencing a remarkable renaissance that is rooted not so much in Iraq, but in Glasnost.

Sgt. Hunter, who said that the loca police and the two universities’polic~ and security forces are in touch OI these sorts of concerns, also said tha the incidents are not being treated a! “pranks” They are criminal offenses he said For theft of a road sign, a “prank which is costing the city thousands o dollars each year, an offender will h cwed with theft under $1,000. The sentence could be a fine of $2,000,01 up to six months in jail. If an injury 01 death results from the incident, tht chaqe will of course be raised to the appropriate level, as serious as Iift imprisonment It takes little imagina tion to comprehend the effects o even the least charge on a student’: present and future careers. The attitude of both police ant residents is that university studenk need to change their attitude dramatically. One resident said thai students “rape the city,” when they move in for a brief time and forcibly abuse other people’s property, and cause danger to other people’s lives Unfortunately, students who have been confronted by local residenti have only proven their disregard for others, by swearing, threaten& those who confront them, and continuing their ‘barbaric” activities. Sgt. Hunter suggested that there have been admirable moves made by both universities’ student councils. II is obvious, though, that there is still some distance to go before studenti generally obtain a respect for others. Thereafter, it is. only a brief step before students might also obtain the respect of others. A final suggestion by one resident was that students realize that these sorts of pranks are simply “un-cool.” Painting a beer on the water-tower, now that he thought was funny. Endangering lives is not.

“After twenty years of this bulls--, you get kinda pissed off,” said one local rqident about the rapaciouS abuse of property suspiciously concurrent with the anival of university students in the area A recent WUA&W Chronicle article by Keren Adderly has renewed attention to the dangerous pranks played by UW and WLU students. Some students have &en seen destroying and stealing street signs, stop signs, and road constructions signs. And local residents are fed up. Staff Sergeant Al Hunter of the Waterloo Regional Police commented that most students are responsible about issues of personal and public safety. Unfortunately, a small percentage think that pranks like those mentioned in the Chronicle article are fun, regardless of the potential dangers they cause. One resident recz&zd some past incidents in discussion with Imprint. In recent history, some students living in the Waterloo Park area have made it a weekly practice to break or steal stop and yield traffic signs. They seem ignorant of the risks to motorists and pedestrians, including themselves. A few years ago&e same sort of prank caused a ‘bad accident” at University and Lester, for which the student was eventually charged with criminal mischief. Just last year, a student was caught with numerous stolen “road closed” signs. Fortunately that time, there had been no accident caused. Another resident commented that ambulances, police cruisers, and fire trucks rely on street signs to reach their destinations. The degree to which resultant hazards could reach seems limitless.

A quiz for the Feds This is an open address to the Federation of Students Executive: Concerning the upcoming referendum that with be held on November 21& 22 on the implementation of the Student tie Building fee there seems to .-have been little discussion and even less debate about the issue. As such many questions have not been asked of those who wish to bring this facility into being, questions, it is felt, should be asked; First, how did the Federation develop the idea that growth in students at this university has outpaced the improvements in our athletic and social needs? By what standards did you determine this need? Were there perhaps huge and multitudinous line-ups at the PAC? No place to sit in the Campus Centre? Were there rallies to protest lack of space or petititons signed?

How much has been spent by this administration in promoting this facility? How much have previous administrations spent on this same proposal? How do you justify spending our money in this fashion? What percentage of Federation Executive time has is taken up? What other student issues were ignored or put on the back burner because of this? Student safety? Rising student fees? Higher Co-op fees? Student rental problems? Student funding? Student oppression? Do you really need a bigger desk and roomier office? Paid with fees you are exempt from? Who are the chief supporters of the proposal? How much is it going to cost? How much am I, the average student, going to have to pay towards it? Where is all the other money going to come from? When will it be ready

for use? When does “now” begin? How is it that the Federation wishes to pursue this complex but ignores less fashionable but more pressing phoblems, like growing class sizes? Shrinking classrooms? What has been said publicly about how the Federation is dealing with the hundred thousand dollar plus it lost due to poor management at Federation Hall? What are the remedies proposed for this? Who is to blame for such a huge oversight in scheduling errors that incurred these huge losses of our student funds? Does this administration think it is capable of managirig over this proposal that will cost millions when it can’t even manage a dance hall? Or was that the last administration’s fault? One that also supported this proposal for a new complex? J=Hagey

In His Image - “Pride and .Humility” by Michael w. Clifton

‘And he said unto him, Why c&32 thou me goud? thereis nunegood but one,that is, God *’ Mat. 19:17

“If you would move forward, in business, in science, in any profession or labor - keep humble.” (Obett C. Tanner, Chrixtk Idealsfor Living, S.LC., 1980.) Humility, it is sometimes thought, involves ultimate disregard for self. Thus the selfdespising are called humble, while those possessing a heaIthy self-esteem are seen as proud and arrogant. Humility, as one twentieth century “prophet” suggested, is neither servile, vasc&&g, nor-&Kdespising (S. W. Kimbati, GospelStudyfor Missionaries,1986). Pride, however, may be any or all of these things. Pride is a deception. By it one believes in an image of self neither like reality nor com-

tion, or personal growth in a real world. In Biblical mythology, the downfall of Lucifer wasnot that he had pride in what he was, but in what he was not. He could not be God, nor even comprehend the principles of godhood, yet he sought to usurp that throne for himself (Isa. 14:12fQ However, pride may involve either the errors of self-aggrandizement or of self-despite and self-pity. The centrality of self is the key factor in any pride oriented philosophy.. “Pride,” suggested Professor Tanner (Harvard, Stanford, U of U), “is a fearfu1 barrier between men. It takes many forms: the white man’s conceit in the paleness of his skin, the self-righteousness of the church-goer, the condescension of the scholar, the haughtiness of wealth, the cruelty of social climbers.” The properties of the opposite perspective, humility, are observable in the example of Christ. Although he adamantly supportid the divine nature and potential of humanity, including himself (i.e. Matt. 548; Jn. l&3438), he did not fail to note our shortcomings in relation to the final reality of being, which is God (ie. Matt. 19~17). Christ’s view of

capable both of good and eviI. Neither trait alone is conceivably progressive or beneficial to the human condition, generally or individually (the supposed absolute goodness of the Eden scenario is to a great measure seen to be the ultimate cause of the Fall; had there been wisdom rather than innocence, the sin might have been avoided). The view of either element of human nature as the dominant trait is deceptive and will likely result in a luciferean perception of one’s own greatness, or a pitiful disregard for human value. Humility is an honest perception of both one’s strengths and weaknesses, and maintains a realistic perspective about them. It involves “a contintious re-examination of goals and perspectives,” promoting personal change, sympathy and empathy toward othe&’ cauies-and-concerns, aid the constant upgrading of individual and collective acheivements (Tanner). Thus, as a moral foundation, it permits the values of proper perspective, personal progress, and character development in anv individual, and also of

The death of Work What I really want to say is work turned into play. A first step is to discard the notions of a “job” and an “occupation.” Even activities that already have some ludic content lose most of it by being reduced to jobs which certain people, and only those people, are forced to do to the excltision of all else. Is it not odd that farm workers toil painfully in the fields while their air-col&tioned masters go home every weekend and putter about their gardens? Under a system of permanent revelry, we will ‘titness the Golden Age of the dilettante which will put the Renaissance to shame. There won’t be any more jobs, just things to do and people to do them. The secret of turning work into play, as Charles Fourier demonstrated, is to arrange useful activities to take advantage of whatever it is that various people at various times enjoy doing. To make it possible for some people to do things they could enjoy it will be enough just to eradicate the irrationalities and distortions which afflict these activities when they are reduced to work. Second, there are some things that people like to do from time to time, but not for too long, and certainly not all the time. You might qoy baby-sitting for a few hours in order to share the company of kids, but not so much as their parents do. The parents meanwhile pro-’ fuundly

appreciate

the

time

to themselves

that you free up for them, although they’d get frelful if parted from their progeny for too long. These differences among individuals are what make a life of free play possible. The same principle applies to many other areas of activity, especially the primal ones. Thus many people enjoy cooking when they can practice it seriously at their leisure, but not

when they’re just fuelling up human bodies for work. Third - other things being equal - some things that are unsatisfying if done by yourself or in unpleasant surroi.mdings or at the orders of an overlord are enjoyable, at least for a while, if these circumstances are changed. This is probably true of all work People deploy their otherwise wasted ingenuity to make a game of the least intiting drudge-jobs as best they can. Activities that appeal to some people don’t always appeal to all others, but everyone at least potentially has a variety of interests and an interest in variety. As the saying goes, “anything once.” Fourier was the master at speculating how aberrant and perverse penchants could be put to use in postcivilized society, what he called Harmony. He thought the Emperor Nero would have turned out all right if as a child-he could have indulged his taste for bloodshed by working ‘in a slaughterhouse. Small children who - notoriously relish wallowing in f&h could be organiied in “Little Hordes” to clean toilets and empty the garbage, with medals awarded to the outstanding. I am not arguing for these precise examples but for the underlying principle, which I think makes perfect sense as one dimension of an overall revolutionary transformation, Bear in mind that we don’t have to take today’s

work

just 9s WC fink it and

match it up with the proper people, some of’ whom would have to be perverse indeed. If’ technology has a proper role in all of this it is less to automate work out of existence than to open up new realms for re/creation. To some extent we may want to return to handicrafts, which William Morris considered a probable and desirable upshot 01’

communist revolution. Art would be taken. back from the snobs and collectors, abolished. as a specialized department catering to an. elite audience, and its qualities of beauty and. creation restored to integral life from which: they were stolen by work It’s a sobering thought that the Grecian urns we write odes about and showcase in museums were usedi in their own time to store olive oil. I doubt auf everyday artifacts will fare as well in the future, if there is one. The point is that there’s no such thing as progress in the world of work; if anything it’s just the opposite. We shouldn’t hesitate to pilfer the past for what it has to offer, the ancients lose nothing yet we are enriched. Be seeing vou.

To the Editor,

Every time I pick up an Imprint to read I always think “Oh. . . yuck!!” I want to know how people continually put up with inkstained fingers and clothing every time they come in contact with the newspaper. You must know that newspaper ink does nutdry. Why is it necessary to have the front page covered completely in multiple layers of ink?! Really!, I hate touching the newspaper and I wish something could be done about the multiple layers of ink completely smothering the cover page because I do like reading it.

The article ‘What to’ do when a friend comes out to y0u”i.n last week’s issue contains errors. some mathematical The first paragraph reads “Gays and Lesbians constitute more than ten percent of the population. So, if you know more than ten people, which we sincerely hope you do, some simple statistics should tell you that at least one of them is bound to be homosexual. In fact, if you have parental inclinations, keep this in mind: if you have three children, the odds of one of them being gay or lesbian is about four in ten.” To demonstrate that this par&-mph’s second sentence is wrong, suppose you know fifteen people, and thai ea& of &em has (independently) a 0.1 probability of being homosexual. Then the probabiity that none of them is homosexual& 0.9 to he fifteenth power, or 0.206. Thus there is a 20.6% chance that they are all non-homosexual, and a 79.4% chance that at least one of the f&en is gay. This may be more than many people would expect, but it is far from the article’s claim that “at least one of them is bound to be gay”. Now suppose you have three children, each with a OJ probability (independently) of being homosexual. Then there is a 0.271 probability that at least one of them.is homosexuaL This is aboslt 2*7 in ten, not “about four in ten.” It is unfortunate that these errors mar an article thatcontains some very good advice on reacting to a friend’s homos&&ty. Statistics have a bad reputation in some quarters because they are so often misused. People that don’t understand probability should not try to base their arguments on it, and ImpriM’s editors are at fault for letting these errors slip by.

For the past several months, we have been witness to the simmering furore over the censure of the “ait?” newsgroups. The question which remains unanswered concerns Dr. Wong’s (Dr. Johnny Wang ‘0Asst. Provost, who censured the groups) accountability for his actions in removing this facility. Dr Wang. as an employee of this University, is responsible to this institution’s administrators. When controversial items are communicated by the “alf.*” newsgroups, the provost indicates to Dr. Wong &at approp riate measures must be taken. And how high does Dr. Wong jump? Does Dr. Wong commit , focusedpunitive action against selected areas or does he indeed make tide sweeping cuts to demonstrate his faithfulness to the provost’s intentions as a means of protecting himself from criticism? The latter is clearIy the case. Further, in a year of widespread cutbacks, it appears Dr. Wong has resolved his personal budgetary crisis by unilaterally slashing our educational services. Way to goJ Dr. Wong. As post-secondary institutions suffer -financiaI shortages, you attempt to resolve temporary cash flow problems by undertaking actions which result in a shortage of EDUCATION. Your Masters must be pleased with you; we, the users, are not.

Students financially inept d To the Editor, I must clarify Jon Krys’ claim that the University Student Escort Team (USET) discriminates against students who do not receive OSAP. The reason students are required to be on OSAP is because the USET is funded 75 per cent by the Ontario Student Work Program which is funded by the government. Without the funding, the program would not operate as it is an expensive service. Quality students are chosen as the application process is lengthy. Women and men need not be afraid to call USET (888-4911) because they feel quality students were not chosen for the job. As you can imagine, there are a great deal of studentswho arefinancially inept to pay for their ‘education and with this program we are killing two birds with one stone - providing needy students with jobs and providing students with a safer campus.

U.S. Drug War: a cruel hoax? by Jennifer B&ram Public Issues Board Chair On Tues. Oct. 16 at’ 8:00 pm, Michael Levine will be talking corruption to UW students. His speech at the Humanities ‘Iheatre, entitled “Guns, Drugs and the CIA” and dealing with the Drug Enforcement Agency’s false war on drugs, is sponsored by the Public Issues Board and the Board of Entertainment of the Federation of Students. Born in the South Bronx, Michael Levine was educated early in the cm,elty of life. As a teenager, realizing that his lifestyle consisted of gang membership, street fights, heavy drinking and numerous close encounters with the law, Levine joined the U.S. Air force at 19 in an attempt to save himself from his environment. Soon, Levine became a military police officer and a sentry dog’handler. He became an avid student of boxing and the martial arts as an outlet for his aggressive institicts.

He left the Air Force and graduated from Hofstra University with a degree in accounting. In pursuit of more excitement and action, he joined the US. Treasury Department as an enforcement agent. Craving more action and danger, Levine transferred to the Treasury Department’s Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms division where he posed as an “outlaw biker” in order to develop the largest bomb seizure investigation in U.S. history. To this day no one has equalled his record for undercover cases arrests and seizures that he established in 1968. Levine joined the Bureau of Custom’s Hard Narcotics Smuggling Unit in a response to the discovery of his brother’s drug addiction. His undercover work in this field led to the destruction of an entire international heroin smuggliirg ring. On the conception of the Drug Enforcement Agency, Mr. Levine was drafted to teach his acquired undercover skills to agents in addition to his role as an active combatant in the so-called “drug war.“ In this capacity, Irvine set a record for undercover actions and arrests

and was promoted to the DEA’s Country Attache to Argentina and Uruwy. It was here that he managed to penetrate the Roberto Suarez’ Bolivian cocaine cartel that was threatening to overtake the entire government. Based on his exposure to undercover operations with three of the most impomnt drug cases in history (the Roberto Suarez organization, Operation Hun and Operation Trifecta), he has put together a stinging and indicting criticism of the inner workings of the drug enforcement establishment. He makes his case in his book&p Cover (77~ Inside Story of how DE4 hflghti~g, Incomptience and Subterfuge Lost us the Bigfpt Battleof the Bug ‘Wbr), in whi& he reveals several damaging accusations against theDEA. . According to Levine, the DEA’s war on drugs is being lost intentionally. Investigations which could

have dealt crippling blows to major drug cartels were sabotaged in favour of giving control of an entire nation to a drug organization. The book reveals that this could not have been accomplished without the tacit help of the DEA and the active, covert assistance of the CIA.. Levine feels that “we must expose the powerful people and OP ganizations in this country who, under the guise of directing and supporting anti-diug campaigns, are actually aiding and abetting the international narcotics cartels and turning the drug war into a cruel hoax.” Levine is intent on exposing the criminal aspects of the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency as well as educating students about the implications on North American society. Tickets for Levine’s speech are available at BASS/Ticketmaster or the Fed Office (CC 235), $5.00 for Feds and $7.00 non-Feds.

ScienceFiction:

Arts and Science Reconciled

by Edmund Chow Special to Imprint

blem. Science fiction, Benford claims, is a way of pulling together the polarities.

The 1990 Hagey Lectures were given by Dr. Gregory Benford at the Theatre of the Arts on October 3 and 4. His lectures, entitled “Science, Fiction, and Things in Between,” discussed a way science fiction could reconcile the gulf between the arts and science. Benford is a professor of physics at the University of California, Irvine, and also an established science fiction novelist. Despite the differences between these two areas, he is distinguished in both: he has done pioneering research in plasma physics theory and astrophysics, and his novels, including Enescape (1980), have won international fiction awards.

Benford demonstrated his assertion with an example of a problem posed by the U.S. Congress. The Congress was asked to license a nuclear waste site which had been dug in New Mexico. The site had to be kept secure from intrusion for 10,000 years. The Congress asked, what was the probability of intrusion during the 10,000 years, and how could the site be marked to prevent intrusion?

implications of technology During t$ study, Benford suggested that in the next 10,000 years, there may be “worm miners,” or automatic machines which mined resources by worming themselves through the JZarth. These miners may inadvertently open sealed nuclear waste sites. Worm mineIs such as these are technological innovations qtiy only envisioned in science fiction. This type 0f imaginative thinking is more and more becoming a necessary part of scientific problem solving.

To begin his first Hagey lecture, which was often injected with quick witticisms, Bfmford ihstrated the dichotomy between his writing and his role as a scientist: people are constantly surprised at his unlikely combination of careers. ‘There is a tendency to slice things up,” he said. “Socie~ seems to have a problem with seeing things whole.” Benford also remarked how historicaIly as well, there have been very few scienalso well-known tists who were fiction writers.

“Every technological event has implications. But what you can do as scientists is to - present alI! the implications. A scenario like this is not impossible, therefore you must defend against it if you wish to defend at all. Ten thousand years is a very long time. If you are to mark a site, you must anticipate technologies which do not exist today. As scientists, you are going to be increasingly answering to issues which cannot be answered by the scientific method, and yet the public will ask you for a scientific answer.

l

Reading from a lecture given by C. I?. Snow thirty years ago, Benfqrd defined the ‘Two Culture Theory”: “the intellectual life of the whole of western society is increasingly being split ir;rto two polar groups, with literary intellectuals at one pole, and scientists at the other.” Snow continued: “Between the two there is a gulf of mutual incomprehension sometimes (particularly among the young) hostility and dislike, but most of all, lack of understanding. They have a curious distorted view of each other.” Snow, who also was both a scientist and a novelist, based his observations on the past 30 years prior to his lecture in 1959. Benford observes himself that in the more than 30 years since Snow’s lecture, there still has been little progress made, and there is a need for the sides to reach out and confront the pro-

‘This kind of problem - how you mark a site in such a way that it till last a very long time, demands answers which will invariably have to have speculation in them. You can’t confront a problem like nuclear waste without speculation. That means certainty is not availably. “Science fiction, which is speculation about science, is actually becoming a useful mechanism in the world, because most of our major problems can now be confronted only by an adroit and effectively informed speculation.” Benford pointed out that specula-; tion has and will become more and more significant as technology progresses. “The reach of human

On October 4, Dr. Gregory Benford gave the second of two 1990 Hagey lectures in the Theatre of the Arts. He was speaking on science, Fiction, and 77&g in Between. is the author of Dr. Benford many articles, short stories, and novels. His best known work is 7hnescape (1980) which won the Nebula Award, the British Science Fiction Award, the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, and the Australian Ditmas Award for International Novel. Dr. Benford also is one of the winners of the 1990 ‘Faux William Faulkner” contest This summer he published, collaborating with renowned writer Arthur C. Clarke, Beyond the Fall of Night. Dr. Benford is a professor of physics at the University of California, Irvine; his refmrch interest is in the areas of plasma physics theory, turbulence, astrophysi~ and the question of extraterrestrial life. He is also technical advisor to NASA. One of the underlying themes of his lecture was that f&ion is sometimes more true than fact Such evidence for this is: Robert Heinlein’s Solution Unsabfum~published in 1942 which told of the aftermath of World‘War II being a stalemate where no power could control the world by the threat of atomic materials, Jules Verne’s book about a moon launch which predicted the launch site of rocket less than 100 miles from Cape Canaveral, and Arthur C. Clarkes development of the communications satellite back in 1945. The extraordinary thing about these works was that they were published not in a major newspaper or periodical, but rather dismissed as too fantastical and put in a science fic-

tion magazine. It can be observed, however, that more than imagination were put into the development of these idea+ Jules Verne, for instance, used two thought processes for his reasoning of the launch site.

He therefore picked one of the southern points in the U.S. Gregory Benford has been working in the field of radio-astronomy for

firmed. This idea can be supplemented by the statement that a measure of the vitality of science is exactly the fact that when you look in a new area you are surprised, Benford explains. For instance, the old method of space exploration was to observe through telescopes in a passive way. However the new activity of the twentieth century is to go into space. It is now widely foreseen that scientists as welI as most of the first world nations are going to have to be the global keepers of the biosphere. This is a duty that must be accepted in order for the humanity td survive. This entaiIs using AIL of our available resources to uplift the bulk of humanity to eliminate the existing social problems. It is evident that what most humans want is something to eat, a place to live, and something to do, and we are going to have to give it to them It is not going to be easy since solutions such as the MarshaU Plan will not work with the bulk of humanity. ‘hly ideology is that the exploitation of the solar system and its resources, over a vast scale, is absolutely imperative in order to sustain the bulk of the human race” states Benford, ‘The reason for this is that you can’t keep scraping the surface of the Earth for resources, and maintain a biosphere.” It is very evident that many sources of pollution are ordinarily caused applications. through low-tech Evidence of this arises from the runoff of rain from coal mining facilities causing the bulk of the worlds water pollution. We’ve been digging up the Earth and disrupting the biosphere for 10,000 years now, it might be a good time to stop! Dr. Benford’s solution to our environmental problems lies in

15 years. One of his latest achievements has been to reproduce the galactic center in his laboratory, not much to scale though. The results he has obtained show th&tthe generation of “lightning like” filaments by the galactic center can be reproduced by the use of his electrical apparatus. However, this re&lt was not predicted by physics illtistrating that “every time you peel back one onion skin you see something that you did not anticipate” states Benford. This is especially true of the study of astronomy. His viewpoint is that the real greatness of science is to predict a result, and then see your prediction con-

When using the Change Directory command to move around within subdirectories, rather than retyping the entire path, you may need to move only one level at a time. Since directories are set up in a tree structure, with the root directory (C:\) as the top of the tree, it is useful to use the foltowing command to move up one level.

A scientist with the Geological Survey of Canada in Ottawa has discovered that North America is made up of seven microcontinents that had come together as pieces of a supercontinent, calIed Lauren& about 1.85 billion years ago. Dr. Paul Hoffman has been compiling a ‘geological history of North America’s first billion yeaIs, based on new techniques that allow very ancient rocks to be accurately dated.

At the seams where the microcontinerats are welded together, there are rocks that cqstallized at the time of the collisions. These rocks have now been dated, using a new method which invplves analysing the radioactive U~nium and its ‘daughter’ pro&c& in the mineral zircon. Uranium acts like a clock that begins ticking when the rock first CrystalIizes. Before the new zircon dating method, geologists could reliably determine the exact age of rocks only by studying the fossils in them.

We are not only the new kids on the block, but most likely tie dumb kids on the block as well, says Benford. We must take care of what we have inhedecI. In looking at the future of humanity one must look back at the major themes in science. The 19th century was under the influence of chemistry. The 20th century could well be said to have been physicsaffected. However, the future, the 21st century, wi.U deal not with the large scale, but rather with the small scale of biology. The next century will deal with the human domination of the very small. DNA altetig, This includes:

super Cambrian, which formed about 2.5 !Gllion years ago, have remained a mystery. Hoffman estimate that at Ieast four supercontinents preceded - North America between 2.5 billion and 250 milIion years ago. The last one, Pangea, had a fossil record that allowed scientists to piece its history together. At present, the continents are breaking up and moving together again, to form another supercontinent, this time in the areaof Eurasia. Hoffman says the Americas will get there last, in about 100 million years. Hoffman has been able to determine that the microcontinents that formed Laurentia came together over a period of about 150 million years. Laurentia included much of what are now Greenland and Northern Europe, as well as the interior of North America. Convection currents in the earth’s mantle - the layer of molten rocks just below the crust in the earth% interior - drew masses of the crust together abouve an area of downwelling. where crustal material WASpolled down into the mantleHoffman theorizes that as it formed, the *new supercontinent insulated thLe underlying mantle, causing it to Iheat up. From 1.5 to 1.3 biion years ago, the heat made Laurentia’s crust melt, producing the igneous granite and rhyolite rocks that run from Southern Calif&nia to ’ . I i l ‘,fr;-t Labrador.

cryonics, cellular manipulation, and the list goes on. This forecast can already be ken in various ways. Cryonics is using low-temperature cryogens such as liquid nitrogen, to freeze a terminally ill or such type person fqr a hundred to two hundred years. This process is complicated and probability for success isn’t high, but your as the motto will go, your chances are better with this than not. <,a Unfortunately x@livPin a SWt&r b society that for the most part does not believe in an after life. We therefore try to sustain life at &II costs. Cryonics is the newest 5&+ of escaping death. As Dr. Benford $ays, “Dead is a relative term!” Years ago people died of various illnesses that they would not have had they been living in today’s society. DNA, the signature of life, is being “read” as we speak The Human Genome Project as it is known in the U.S., wiII Iikely have it read by the turn of the millennium. Then we can write on it! The various methodologies used then are probably going to be very similar to those used today in microbiology, immunology, genetic engineering, and others. For example, the techniques used to discover the Cystic Fibrosis gene. Control of cells for various ‘beneficial” purposes are going to be undertaken in the near future. This could include the use of parasites as toothpaste, building cleaners, etc. This can already be seen in bacteria which gobble up those nasty oil slicks. As can be seen, the human race has already entered an era where people have begun to act, even only on the new science, assumption of explained Benford. This is a signature of deep faith in technology in that even the anticipation of new technology is effecting the behaviour of humans. It is also probably the first time in -history that this such phenomenon has occurred. It can be viewed the we are going to be able to indulge ourselves in this science. It is fairly obvious that in order to sustain the planet we will need utmost use of science and technology. However we must realize our higher obligations to think carefully about where our horse is parking the cart!

continent Until now, scientists have had trouble explaining the source of the heat Hoffman’s supercontinent theory neatly fills that gap in geological knowledge, but it stiI.l needs to be tested further, he points out. The best test will be to apply the new dating methods to other continents to see whether their origins and the origins of Laurentia’s rocks synchronize. Studies of Australian rocks show that they have similar geological records. There are periods of collision, and periods of melting without collision. ‘They may have similar histories because they were together during the periods of supercontinents,” says Hoffman. “Not only North America formed a supercontinent. Most of the other continents also came together to form supercontinents, then broke up.” The more recent geological history of, North America is described by Hoffman as “bump and grind” tectonics. It is characterized by collisions and she&g between the North American plate and other plates to form the Rockies and the Appalachian mountains. How the stable interior of the continent formed in the first place is now just emerging, Hoffman’s research into North. America’s Precambrian history is part of a major research effort called the Decade of North American Geology. It was instituted by the Geological Society of America to celebrate its 100th anniversary. ,-j i-, sdscl

There’s some bad things about that: its fun to be doing this kind of thing on your own, secretly, in a way going against the physblogy of the institution.

examinations of years ago; _chronological works of literature, My examinations stopped with Thomas Hardy and hcd no twentieth century literature. There’s a kind of snobbish class thing that’s involved there. Until I went to John Hopkins there was no professor of Victorian literature because it was assumed a gentleman would know Victorian literature on his own, as with twentieth century Iiterature, if there was any. So scholarships stopped with Wordsworth, because, . . . well, everybody knew Tennyson.

but it’s a lot of different thmgs in a lot of different places. Now that doesn’t mean that I’m not prepared to say something about what it is, but the first thing to say is that it’s diverse, its a kind of multitudinous, because there’s Deconstruction now in theology, in philosophy, law and legal critical theorists (as we were hearing

everybody knows Tennyson

. . .

Now, following my itinerary, (which is a kind of history of literary criticism from about 1940 or so on), when I went to John Hopkins a year after I got my degree, one of the people who was teaching there was Ceorges Poulet. His work and the work of his colleagues were called the Geneva School of Phenomenological criticism and were tremendously important for me, as was so called Phenomenological criticism generally for somebody like Geoffrey Hartman. that his I found (Hart-man’s) book and his vision were very exciting; this was somebody who was applying to the criticism of, or at least in part, English literature these European methods. So what’s Phenomenological criticism? Well, it presupposes the real category, the clincher category: the consciousness. That is to say that literature is expressions of the consciousness of the person who created it, and that the reading of literature is a way of ultimately identifying yourself with the c9nsciousness of the poet or novelist. And he (Poulet) had a fascinating analogy for this that has stuck in my mind. He said if you were a chess player and you replay an eighteenth century chess game, you can get a kind of access to the way the eighteenth century mind worked, because they had different dimensions in chess. So, he (Poulet) would

Oh no.. I attack of the frog criticst say that by reading Hawthorne I could find out what it felt Iike to be Hawthoirne, so that literature was his means of access to the mind of another person. So the early work that I did was a Dickens book, the first book I ever had published. I was deeply infIuented by those critics, and they were very important during that period.

Criticism with that conference, which I always associate with the smell of Gauloises cigarettes because they all brought real, genuine, bona fide French Gauloises sharps, stronger by far than American cigarettes and the place reeked of them. So my own work there after - and still is, deeply influenced on attendance at Derrida’s seminars and so

about this morning), Fish has been deeply influence by Derrida in particular, . . . and there’s Deconstructive architecture. The architect I know of who is very distinguished, Peter Eisenman, has collaborated with Derrida on the design of a building in Paris. Imp: whet1 was that group at Yak? Miller: I went to Yale in 19 72, DeMan was already there and we gradually got organized. There’s a book, I can’t exactly remember exactly the date, called Lkconstructim and Cntieism, which has essays by all five of those people, which came out, I don’t know 1978 or so, and I wrote an essay at the time which appeared in&w Republic of all things, which identified this new group of critics at Yale. Bloom had the idea of, he’s got a better eye for publicity than I do, of bringing out a book which was called L?ec~tz&~c~ion and Criticismthat would allow Geoffrey Hart-man to say ‘Tm not Deconstruction, I’m criticism.” That was a way of reminding people we had some pretty diverse people. I

don’t hy any means agree that even Derrida and DeMan tried not to be identified with one another. But, I think that ail five of those pee ple wchld agree Deconstruction is oriented toward language rather than toward the social and historical context of literature; it is concerned with the rhetoric of literature in the sense of the role language figures in criticism.

So for me, I would in the * _ say the _ next stage . -. development of twentieth century literary criticism, at least in the United States, was the appearance of Stmcturulism, in the sense of Levi-Strauss who tried to-develop a Structuralist mode of literary criticism and almost immediately along with that was what came to be called Deconstmction with Derrida, who was present at the famous colloquium at John Hopkins in 1966. This publicly brought for the first time to the United States Jacques Lacan, Derrida and Marxist critics like Lucien Coldmann. People usually take that influx of what I caIl Frug

That went along with the appointment at Hopkins, and of alI those people toYale where, for awhile, we had a group of people that included Harold Bloom and Geoffrey Hartman, as welI as the cIan of Derrida’s that formed a kind of group for a while, in one way or another doing something called Decmstruction. Derrida always calls it Deconstructionism, and he means by that, Deconstruction is a lot of different things. That makes it, in principle, very difficult to say Deconstruction is something or other, its essentialIy something or other you could say, well, Deconstruction is literary criticism,

Spirit of the West: The Frank Interview by Frank Seglenieks Boone Courtesy CKMS-FM Fridays 4:30 - 6:00 pm

and

David

Magazine,

This interview was done before Spirit of the West played Fed Hall last Thursday. The two members of the band spoken to were Linda McRae and Geoff Kelly. Help for thinking up some of the questions was given by Robert Armstrong and John Shimeld.

Imprint: l7te band just $7~ in $XWI Vuncuuverto do this tour, but beforethis you had sometime ofl Linda McRae: We took a month off, we’ve been really busy this year, we try to take blocks of a month twice a year off wh&e everybody is just spending time with their families or doing what they want to do when they’re not doing this. Imp: How o&en du you get together and

vrmtise? LM: Actually, we’re playing so much that we really don’t have much time. For this tour we had two solid days rehearsing together to get our tunes back in shape. And we’ve actually worked up a couple of old ones too that we haven’t done since I joined the band. Imp: I noticedon thcJirstfm albums Geofl and John were the maif sungwri~ers,how is the songwriting sharednow that therearefuur peoplein the band? CM: Geoff and John have been the main songwriters since the band started, and when Hugh joined for the l&our Day album he wrote 9 few songs with them and for this last album we wrote 2 together and I collaborated on two other ones with Geoff and John. But we’ve tried to do ;omecollaboration together, we have :o come up with some writing material for the next album, we’re soingto take some time in November :O do that. It’s tough with four people who all have different opinions and everyone is quite fussy. It’s mainly the lyrical content which is the real tough Brie, we all have so many musical

There’s

a feeling I get when I look to the West

ideas, but lyrically it’s’ hard to say things in such a way as not to sound clich&d OI glib. a Geoff Kelly: It’s still primarily John and I, we’re definitely trying to involve everyone, because it’s a really exciting part of it, being part of writing a song. But it’s just trying to find the time for all four of us to go away, We’ve been having these writers’ retreat weekends where we go off to the islands and do some writing there. Un the last album ‘Zast to Know” and “the Wrecking Ball” were done this way. We’ll definitely try to continue to

p&sue thataswell& iohn and I writ-

ing three-quarters of the shtff together. It’s hard writing with 4 peaple, you have to be very careful with everybody’s ideas, but we’re getting better at it.

Imp: You have played both in the Bombshelterand in Fed Hall, do yuu pre$r one to the other? LM There are good things about both places. It’s nice to have the room so if people want to they can dance, but you can’t really do that in the Bombshelter, it gets pretty crazy. But the thing about the Bombshelter is that everyone is right in front of vour face, and?hat’s k&d of fun too. ’

GK: The Bombshelter is just great, it’s just so crowded, but that’s magic too. It’s a real workout playing such a small place, I think we’re still a sweat band anyway, and we’re quite happy to sweat it out with the audience and with the smalIer venues you tend to do that because .you don’t have this big sound system to push the sound across, so you work reaily hard.

GK: No I don’t think we’ll do any more videos for this album, I don’t think we’re a great video band, we don’t seem to have the great ideas for videos. We’d rather put our energy into recording records and writing songs and not worrying so much abvt the videos. It’s just not a priority right bow.

heard us play once in Vancouver, and they liked the band. They asked us into the studio and we recorded two songswith them for their new album, and then we had a 2 week tour opening for them. They are great people, we had a really great time. hp: Have you played. url+whurr in

Imp vow did your tour of England P? imp: Doyou havea lot of organizations LM: It went really well, we did a five askingyuu to do charitableevents? week tour on our own, and then we LM: We have quite a lot of that, we try met up with the Wonderstuff, whom

GE When we signed with WEA, Holgar Peterson, who runs Stony Plain, phoned us up and asked us how we felt about re-releasing the first album. We said if we can make some changes to it we’d release it, because there were some songs we weren’t too proud of. We took the songs we thought were the strongest from the original album and some songsfrom an old concert we did and stuck them on the other side. Imp How many videoshave yuu made fbrn Save this House? LM: Two, one for “Save this House” and one for “Home for a Rest.” It was a lot of fun, the one for “Home for a Rest” was a travelogue of our tour in Britain, it was a lot of fun. A couple of people came with us for a week and travelled around and shot footage of us.

GK: We really had a lot of fun doing “‘Home for a Rest”. But that one is kirrd of special, because we’ve done a lot of touring over in Britain and even if nobody really likes the video for us personally it’s great to have a nice little four-minute memento of a tour. I think it really captures the fun really -welL

Imp: will yuu make any more videos?

Euwpe uthw than Britain.? GK: Mostly just Great Britain, we’ve played in Finland and a couple of little things.

It begins with tonight’s appearance at Fed Hall by Canadian blues-s&locker Colin James, who - despite unforgivable mediocrity - has actually managed to make it relatively big in Canada. Tomor@w night (that’s Saturday, folks) Marianne FaUfuU will perform at Convocation Hall. Y%.now: “As Tears Go By,” “Broken English?” Also on Saturday, E-&art Seeber is at UW’s very own Conrad Grebel Sunday, you might wanna shell out rkk~lo~~ly inflated ticket prices to go see Okra Haa at the Pantages Theatre. Didn’t she useta be a b&up singer for Eric B. & Rakh$ Well, next week is quite the week for TO concerts.

The latest Youth Lp, GW is one of their most accessible and melodic, and the eqdly fine Recld Ktoss have a new one out to promote as well. On Tuesday the l&h, the (sub?- ed) genius that is Fbbyn Hitchcock will be doing a sdo acoustic gig at the Diamond. Hit&cock is touring to SUPport his rather fine LP Eye, an all-acoustic set released earlier this

A long, strange trip indeed that the interview not bepublishedin bookform. Wenner ran the interview

gave a free concert - touted as ‘Woodstock West” - at the Altamont Speedway in California. However, the show was policed by the Hell’s Angel s, and the mood was ugly and violent from the start. It culminated when the Angels clubbed and stabbed a fan to death. When the Stones tried to leave the stage, they were told that if they “did not play, they were dead men.” The chapter on Altamont in ne Uncemonzd Hitory is simply harrowing.

id&S, the issue’s sales hit the roof and put the magazine back on its feet. . . and then Wenner promptly published the interview as a book, Lmnon Re?nembem. Draper’s book also chronicles RoZiing Stone’s political reporting e$ the early 70s; most notablythatof Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. Thompson’s coverage of the 1972 Democratic Presidential race among other stories - simply took the nation by storm. Another blockbuster of this period was Howard Kahn and David Weir% Patty Hearst story, in which they scooped every otherpublication in the country.

In 1967, a pudgy 21 yr-old 3erkeley. dropout named Jann S. &nner founded a ‘little ti ‘n’ roll nagazine.” Rolling Stonewas hailed s the voice of the counter-cuIture in IO time flat, and quickIy became the nost influential music publication in Robert Draper’s he country. Despite these successes, the early biography of the magazine chronicIes days of Rs were a constant battle over ts progression from the idealistic editorial philosophy, as Wenner arly days into the slick, vacuous wavered between promoting music noney-maker that it has become. journalism or hard news. Intrinsic to the history of the nagazine is the story of its editor, Probably the beginning of the end Wenner. Draper paints a highly for Rolling Stonecame in 1977, when mflatteringpersonal portrait of Wen- Wenner decided to move the xer right from the start: a scheming magazine from San Francisco (where ~ustlhg fanboy who saw Rolling it had operated since ‘67) to New Stoneas simply the most fun and crea- York City.

Fqually notable, tho’, is the humour. Witness Chuck Young’s discourse with Gene Simmons of Kiss, on the subject of artistic value: Young: “Jacqueline Susann seIIs more books than Shakespeare, but she’s stiIl shit and Shakespeare is still Shakespeare.” “Wait a minute!” Simmons exclaims. “I think Shakespeare is shit! Absolute shit! He may have been a genius for his time, but I can’t relate to thatstuff. Thee’ and Thou’; the guy sounds Iike a faggot. Captain America is classic because he’s more entertaining If you counted the number of people who read Shakespeare, you’d be very disappointed.”

Wenner exploited he intense 1oyaIty and idealism of his early employees by paying them little x no salaries, while he grew rich off he success of their work. Job interriews might consist of a single quesion: “What’s your favorite Rolling stones record? Nevertheless, Rolling Stone’sposiion as a cultural artifact was quickly iecured. The magazine was usually he first and last word on current rock nusic, and an artist Iike Johnny Win:er might watch his career skyrocket lfter only one prominent Rs plug. However, the steps Wenner took to &eve these credentials were at imes ethidy dubious (a kind stirnate). As music industry ads xcame the financial backbone of the nagazine, Wenner would sometimes suppress negative record reviews, eery of offending his advertisers. P&hap most &spicable was the 1971 John Lennon interview. R~firzg Qone was in financial trouble, so Lenton agreed to give Wenner the (senHtiot&) inter&w, on one condition:

(When RS ran a critics’ polI of the “100 Best Albums, 1967-W” in 1987, Wenner was horrified to see the Pistols at number 2, and demanded to know where were such luminaries as the Eagles, or Loggins & Messina? For a si.miIar singles poll a year later, Wenner took a more hands-on approach. He inserted personal favourites “Uptown Girl” and “I Want to Know What Love Is”into the list, and took it upon himself to drop Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition” from number 6 to 73.) Since the late 7Os, RS has been consistently outdated and behind the times as a &sic journal In the words of staffer MikaI Gilmore, the ma-e, had messed from “taste ders” to “taste 6ackers.” One need only pick up a few current issues

The Rev. Charles M. Young to confirm this. Dwarfed by the umpteenth Stones tour update or heaps and heaps of ridiculous nostalgia coverage, the “New Faces” cohnn offers one- or two-column profiles on acts that have been recognized elsewhere for months, or Y-m

The book offers fairly detailed par. traits of a number of Rs “personalities” - Wenner, Thompson, the Rev. Charles M. Young - but only sketchy ones of many others. I would have thought the insane genius Lester Bangs deserved more than the paragraph or two allotted

Even more hilarious is the descrip tion of the mid-‘80s “focus groups” the magazine relied upon: “IndividuaIs who fit the magazine’s standard demographic profile were literally taken off the street, brought upstairs to a conference room and seated. Placards of potential cover subjects were mounted on easels. Qwstions were asked of those seated....” One such “focus group” went like this: ‘The main +ubject being tested was Van Halen’s David

The cLGonzojournalismyy of Hunter S. Draper’s book then represents a damning indictment, both of Wenner’s megalomania, and of Rolling Stone’s slide into mediocrity.

Perhaps we can take Living Colour’s suit againstKeenan Wayans (director of In Living Colour) over the use of the name “Living Colour” as symbolic of their assimilationinto the materialistic world of the entertainment industry.. LA’s hdpe I’m just beingcynical and that %e’s up is * simply a glitch on the graph - otherwise I’d saywe’re losing the pulse on this Living Colour.

Imprintstaff It is a novelty to have the chanceto review two albums by the same groupat the same time. Tackhead’s 1989 release Friendi) as Q Hand Grenade has just been released domestically while their new album StrangeThings was releaseda couple of weeks ago in England.

If this were the casefor some bori ing old fart like Dylan, the simultaneous release of two LPs would be of no great consequence since all the stuff sounds the same anyway. However, as the sound of Tackhead is constantly in a state of flux and change, the oppotinityto listen to a year’s progression is welcome. Tackhead has .always been a strange proposition, Keith Leblanc, Doug Wimbish and Skip McDonald - the former rhythm section for the %garhill Gang (and the whole Sugarhill record label) -

mated to

Adrian Sherwood’s earth-shaking dub production and industrial cut-? ups. Their migration toward a mor6 conventionauy funky sound, MS con-

tained a couple of m&steps. When 1 first heard Hand GrPnadti, lastyear,I wasn’t very impressedwith it, and frankly, I’m still not. The addition of former Material and Golden Palominos singer Bernard Fowler gelled Tackheadinto a unit which one could safely call a ‘group.’ Songslike “‘Tell me The Hurt” made faltering stepstoward a leaner,stripped-down sound, others teetered too much toward the dated industrial crunchinesswhich characterizedtheir earlier incarnation.

The momentary lapse of Hand Gmude has been followed up by a resounding

success in which

the

shackles of the& brilliant past have been thrown off and they have fashioned a new hybrid. They have

mated the, spare, sinewy funk of groups like Material and Defunkt to an updated version of the Parliament/George Clinton psychofunk.

At moments, like “Super Stupid” the subtle tension which is contained within the grooves is abandoned in

f&vow of the baser delights of simply rockin’ b&. Most of the time, though, Tackhead revel in the complex delights of thefink. Particularly outstanding is the sublime eightminute “For This I Sing” and “Class R& the first single.

It takes a fair amount of will for a group to abandon a sound, or a formula which has been as successful as industrial hip-hop the monster groove which Tackhead defined in 1987 and 1988 with records like

Women media in men’s change Axnns

Speak into the mike The Big Picture RaoulDuke,jr.

l

Before I start this week’s tantrum,1 should state that I am not a sexist pig. I am, in fact, a strong believer in the equality of all people. I further believe that all reporters should have equal access to the players and teams they’re covering. So, I really don’t understand the current lamentations over women in the locker rooms of various football teams. Never mind that the person who decides the league policy on the matter is some turkey-necked dweeb who’s always got his clothes on when he’s interviewed. And please ignore the fact that the female reporter who seemingly started the whole thing has been the object of harassment complaints by players for over three months now. It has been made clear that reporters must have equal and clear access to the locker room. Having established this, let’s go one further. See, I don’t understand why anyone in their right mind, who didn’t have to be there to change, would want to be in a football locker room in the first place. Put simply, they really smell bad, and the sight of a 300-lb offensive lineman without his clothe on is best left to the strong of heart. But, if you’re going to be there, you accept these things as some of life’s unpleasant realities. And you have to accept locker room humour. It’s juvenile, derogatory and usually obscene, but it won’t go away just because there’s “a lady present”. Anyone who can’t, accept this should stay the hell out df’ thP’ locker room. But there’s a larger issue here, and that’s basic human dignity. Professional athletes give up a lot, allowing themselves to be sold or traded in a society that has outlawed slavery and to have their ‘actions subject to constant scrutiny. They have to accept this just because their natural

Do they also have to give up the right to privacy while naked, something most ‘oftis demand of practically everyone, because they may Say something n’eat just as they step from the shower? And, let’s face it, females in the men’s locker room has to make some, if not all, players uneasy. Obviously, just because the female doesn’t mind their nudity (or claims not to) doesn’t mean diddly squat to some men. So do we restrict locker rooms to reporters of the same sex? Well, no that’s unfair. SO, how ‘bout this: you want to interview a player in the locker room, you should be in the *me state of undress as that person. And the reporter would redress as they interviewed, keeping pace with the athlete. This would relieve most of the discomfort on the athlete’s part,

This would also give some reporters time to realize tit Bubba McDeath wasn’t thinking about any-thing as he laid that bone-crushing hit on their quarterback (“Well, I was pondering the validity of Freudian theory, Chuclc..“). I know this makes sense, but maybe we could try it anyway; maybe they could set up an interview area outside the locker room. William Gay, retired Detroit Lion, once said that football was, by its very nature, dehumanizing, but do we have to‘ strip pro athletes of all their dignity and privacy? and

Ti e Waterloo side was determined to gain two points before the Thanksgiving break, and Brock offered an excellent opportunity to feast early. At the first whistle, it was apparent that the Athenas overmatched their opponents. Proving their dominance, Waterloo contained the play in Brock’s half, and shot at every opportunity. The Athenas tallied one thirty minutes into the first half. Left winger Anita Toogood passed to rightwinger Catherine Hollifield, who ient the ball by the Brock keeper.

Why is it on the fresh shirts? A few years ago, th’e Waterloo Warrior volleyball team went on a rampage. With most of its matches

lasting barely i%y minutes, the team destroyed virtually all opposition and eventually finished fourth in the country. The winning streak coincided with the acquisition of new allblack uniforms and the idea of “the Black Plague” was conceived. The name caught on, and grew very popular with media and fans al&e. The success of the team mirrored the success of the concept. Since the advent of the Black Plague,

with the ball, looking for support, and Ending none. This lack of cohesion and tentative play meant that Waterloo lost most of the rucks and mauls and could not get the ball out to the backs even when the forwards could gain possession Down by only a couple of penalty kicks at the half, Waterloo went downhill in the second frame, losing both props and a flanker to injuries. Their only score was a try off of a linecut by one of the substitute props Paul Avbar. The next Warrior home game is the season finale on Sat Oct. 20 against Iaurier.

Warrior volleyball fans have become the best, most vociferous in the country. W&or fans wear black to home games, and even help spread the Hague when the team travels, engulfing opposing gyms in a sea of Black. Volleyball fans now have a theme to rally around and a colour to wear to matches - Black! This intimidates the opposition and gives fans vicarious identity. + Last year the team printed and sold “Warrior Volleyball: The Black Plague” t-shirts to help meet travel costs. The fashion merchandising arm of the Warrior volleyball team was incredibly successful; the name and the team became synonymous. In the meantime, the volleyball team’s conception became incredibly popular. So popular that other groups wanted to use it. This year’s fresh shirts are printed with the words, “‘the Black Plague,” to spark the spirit of incoming students. Also, some other Waterloo varsity teams (and Waterloo athletics in general) are now being informally called the Black Plague. Don’t be misled. The Black Plague began with the volleyball team and the name belongs first and foremost to that team. This year the Black Plague promises to be just as devastating on the court Last year, the volleyball Warriors placed third in Canada, and with four returning starters plus a bumper crop of rookie talent, the Plague can once again be huge and black. Catch the Black Plague: Warrior Volleyball. It’s contagious; you won’t be disappointed.

1. Calgary Flames 2. Edmonton Oilers 3. Lm Angeles Kings 4. Winnipeg Jets 5. Vancouver Canucks

Les Canadiens have lacked a dominating offense in recent years. This problem should be corrected with the acquisition of Denis Savard. Together with Stefane Richer and Shayne Corson, the team should tally some impressive scoring statistics this year. Patrick Roy gives them arguably the best goaltender in the game. The loss of Chris Chebs will hurt, but Matt Schneider and J.J. Daigneault will only get better. Buffalo will also improve with strong goaltending and a good offense led by Pierre Turgeon and Dale Hawerchuk. Boston will contend but the Bruins aren’t as solid as last year. The Whalers and Quebec will again live in the basement.

Chicago now pos&sses one of the league’s best blue-line corps, having added Chelios. The dealing of Savard to the Canadiens will put pressure on Jeremy Roenick to perform. Steve tier and Doug Wilson are veterans who can always be counted

The Flames are powerful both offensively and defensively. Mike Vernon is one of the league’s candidates for top goalie, while Gary Suter and A.1 MacInnis provide an outstanding tandem on the blueline. The Oilers are the defending champions and will once again be strong. Contract difficulties with Mark Messier and Glenn Anderson will have to be resolved. Bill Ranford picks up the slack as Grant Fuhr is suspended for the season. The Kings will again ride on the back of the Great One. Kelly Hrudey must step up his performance so the Kings can whittle down their goals against average. If LA. can keep the puck out of its own net, it may surprise in the Smythe. Winnipeg and Vancouver have too much to overcome in a muscular division.

O,n.

The Red Wings will improve from last year’s disaster with Steve Yzerman leading the way. As well, a fuIl season from a new and improved Bob Probert will help. St. Louis opened up the free agent market by wasting a lot of money on Scott Stevens. Brett Hull is good but will have trouble matching last year’s career numbers. Toronto and Minnesota can both score, but are pathetic defensively.
