YES Committee says why.*.

University needs Student Life Building J

by Peter Brown Imprint staff The Student Life Building is the solution to one of UW’s worst problems, according to the YES Committee for the referendum set for next Wednesday and Thursday, November 21-22. Imprint spoke to the main members of this committee. ‘There are so many reasons why we need this building/said Women’s lnteruniversity Council chair Michele Hahn. “Studies have shown that we have one of the most active student bodies, but one of the lowest amounts of recreational space per student, in the province,” according to the third-year Political Science student. ‘The PAC (Physical Activities Complex) is tied up for one-third of the year for non-recreational events such as exams, career days, and convocation.” Hahn also stressed how a facility such as this will be a drawing card for students to come to UW. “Certainly it will allow expansion of current services, but it will also offer new services for all students,” Hahn said. She mentioned the planned cafeteria or juice bar, meeting space, and the sports injury clinic which will be opened up to all students, not just varsity athletes. The facility will also provide a venue for the UW varsity Indoor Track team, which now has to practice with the Kitchener-Waterloo Track Club. Hahn was quick to point out that the track and court area will be open for use by every UW student, since the track team would not need exclusive use of more than a couple of tracks at a time. She foresees the SLB track facility allowing a balance of individual recreation, competitive team sports, and varsity athletics. Fourth-year Science student Cass Avery is Campus Recreation’s rep-

resentative on the YES Committee. “Many C-Ret programs have been canceIled or greatly limited by the small amount of space we have,” said Avery. “So, the participation in C-Ret has been limited. We have more students wanting to take part than we can handle. There are shortages of kxkers and space in aerobics classes, and we’ve had to reduce numbers of games and game duration for both competitive and recreational sports. Andreas Kurvits is a second-year Political Science student and represents the Federation Student Council on the Committee. He mentioned how there are about a dozen student clubs crammed into one room in the Campus Centre, and how some of the space in the SLB can be used for this purpose, thus relieving s0me of the overcrowding in the CC. He also pointed out that the 3,5OOcapacity permanent seating gallery means that the facility could be used for events other than just important varsity sport competitions, such as convocation. It is unclear if the track surface itself would allow such multiple use. All three of these YES Committee members had other reasons for students to vote yes, Any student paying the proposed fee will automatically have a lifetime membership for the building. Also, the proposed location of the building adjacent to the PAC and near the CC draws together the centre of the campus. Responding to arguments from some students that they shouldn’t have to pay for something that will come into use after they have graduated, Hahn had this to say: “We have to be concerned for future students too. lf students in the past had had that attitude, we wouldn’t have Fed Hall and the Columbia Icefields today. We wouldn’t even

Fine Update by Peter Brown Imprint staff: The Electian Committee for the Student Life Referendum has assessed some minor fines against both the YIPS and NO sides of the debate, although the NO fine has come posthumously. The YES Committee has been assessed two fines totaling $60 against their $1000 budget limit, while the now nonexistent NO Committee was hit with a $30 penalty. The first fine against the YES side concerned red and white “Vote Yes” posters that were posted in the Physical Activities Complex last weekend. These p0sters were jointly sponsored by the University of Waterloo Athletics department and Molson Breweries, and the Election Committee ruled that Molson’s could not be called an “officially” Iecognized organization because it does not fali under the UWumbreUa. Citing section 2-i of the referendum policy, the EC set a fme at $50, and will allow the posters to be rep0sted if the Molson’s name and logo are removed from them. The EC added a $10 fine to the YES Committee’s total for viok&ing section 2-d of the policy, which requires each side to submit the originals of their campaign materials to the EC on the first day of the referendum campaign. The NO Committee’s $30 fine came ai a result of lack of participation in stuffing the mailout envelopes to be sent to off-campus students. According to the EC, this penalty was suggested by NO Chain Mike Abramczuk before he resigned on November 5. Even though the NO side no longer formally exists, the EC felt that “the principle warrants the fine.” The YES Committee’s fine brings their fine t0ti to $160 including one assessed last week for a fuB.page endorsement of the Student Life prod irr’ the Federation&f Students hand&&

Students by Peter Brown Imprint staff Some students and faculty on campus are hoping that students can contribute some ideas to the $12 million Student Life Building proposal if it is passed by referendum next Wednesday and Thursday, November 21-22. Some of them, such as Darin Dinsmore, Sarah Rupert, and John Kay, are also worried that no such input has been solicited so far. Rupert, along with fellow secondEnvironmental Resource Y-r Studies student Sherri Nauffts and four classmates, are working on a course project that would iecommend environmental measures for the SLB. “We could use the Federation’s proposal and appIy a skeleton framework of environmenta principles,” said Rupert. The project is for a second year ERS course taught by Prof. John Kay, the chairperson of the WATGREEN committee. Each incarnation of the course has a particular theme, and the theme of this one is the the Greening of the Campus Project announced by University President Doug ‘Wright in October 1990. Each project group in the course choose particular buildings or areas of campus to study in their search for solutions which are both environmentally responsible and financially cost-effective in the long term “We chose the Student Life Building” said Rupert, ‘because it’s a building that hasn’t been built yet. With existing buildings, you can only really do fine tuning.” Her group’s project is basically a feasibility study thatwill examinethreemainaspeds of the building desigru heating. cooling, and ventilation; water circulation; and the interior design and lighting. “None of us have an architectural background, so it made more sense to deal with an existing plan and how to improve it,” Rupert said. Rupert points out that more environmentally conscious design aspects can greatly reduce operating costs, even enough to make up for the in&eased capital costs. ‘We plan to study everything from the best way to heat the place to using organic paints instead of ones containing mercury. We’re interested in the total well being of students, not just the athletic aspect fl Rupert says that her group approached the Federation of Students at the beginn@ of October to see iftheir recommendations could & t&a14nto constieration for the

departments or faculties. The Student Life Building will be far everyone.” Next week’s referendum will ask students to a prove a continuation of the existing 3 10 per term athletic fee, which expires this fall, and yearly increases until the fee will sit at $40 per term, to be collected until the building’s $9 million mortgage is paid off. The Feds estimate this time to be the year 2018. The remainder of the

$12 million project will come from UVV administration and outside fun&aSIlg.

The last public forum for this referendum will be next Tuesday, November 20 at 123Opminthe Campus Centre Great HalL Since Imprint cannot cover this or yesterday’s forum, it is vital that students attend so that they can make an informed decision

building’s design, Vice-President (Operations and Finance) Tess Sliwinski was very receptive, Rupert said, and told her to give Sliwinski a copy of the final report when it was completed. According to Sliwinski, the proposal that students will be voting on does not include a fmal building design, just the parameters that the final building would have. If approved, a design phase would finalize exactly what the building would like and how it wilI be constructed. Rupert hopes that her group’s recommendations can be incorporated into the building design duiing this phase. Prof. Kay also hopes that the Federation will incorporate his student& ideas into the project8 but feels that student involvement thus far has been sadly lacking. “It seems that the expertise we have here on campus has not been used well.” In addition to the ERS department, Uw has an Urban and Regional Planning program and one of a handful of Schools of Architecture in Canada. ‘Ihe process has not been par-

ticdady impressive,” Kay continued. ‘There hasn’t been a long enough campaign or enough publicity, and it kaves me scratching my head and wondering whether this is just a glorified sport5 complex.” And third-vear URP student D& Dinsm0re agrees. He was involved in another SLB design pr0ject for a second-year Planning course during the spring 1990 term. ‘The theme of the whole course was a Student Life Building” said Dinsmore. “We (Dinsmore and a classmate) did a site plan analysis and building design; we used a computer design application to produce actual drawings and blueprints of our plan.” Dinsmore said that a representative of the Federation spoke to the class early in term and told them that their ideas would be collected and considered for use in the proposal. So far, he hasn’t heard back from the Federation, and neither has the course’s professor, Dr. Saul Herzog. Federation Hall is the Iast building on campus whose construction was

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by the walls on the blood of the blood vessels as it flows through the body. Blood pressures are reported by two numbers such as f20/80. This is because while the heart is beating the pressure it exerts is uneven: the 120 refers to the maximum pressure and the 80 refers to the minimum pressure exerted by the heart as it pumps the blood. Blood pressures greater than 140/90 are considered to be high and thus fall into the hypertension range. It must be remembered, however, that factors such as stress and excitement, anxiety and physical activity can temporarily elevate blood pressure, thus a single blood pressure measurement is not usually enough to diagnose hypertension. Once high blood pressure is confirmed, it should be dealt with immediately since its presence greatly increases the probability of heart attack or stroke. The higher the blood pressure above normal, the greater the risk. The most serious diseases caused by hypertension are heart attack and stroke. Coronary heart disease ranks among the ten leading causes of death of those aged between 25 and 29. Between 40 and 44 it becomes the Number One cause of death. A number of factors have been identjfied as being responsible for the high incidence of stroke and heart disease. These included: high levels of cholesterol in the blood, cigarette smoking too little exercise, stress, heredity, hypertension and diabetes. Of all the items on this list hypertension is considered the most significant disease causing factor. Atherosclerosis (the hardening of the arteries), stroke, congestive heart attack, and angina pectoris (crippling chest pain due to poor circulation to the heart muscle) are all results of hypertension. About 50 per cent of all hypertension victims have been shown to have enlarged hearts. If the condition is ignored or neglected irreversible damage can take place. Unfortunately, high blood pressure does not usually produce unpleasant or uncomfortable symptoms. People will often let the condition evolve to the critical stage because they are unaware of the problem, choose to ignore it, or do not seek medical attention until it is too late. Such cases may prove to be fatal since the heart can only be pushed so far; heart attacks usually occur in persons with heart conditions that have been present for some time. If someone is suffering from angina pectoris usualIy the condition has progressed to the critical or chronic stage. Hypertension can effect anyone - young or old. Regular medical checkups can go a long way in preventing the disease from developing to the critical stage or, in most cases, from developing at all. All the factors which ensure good health are beneficial in preventing heart disease and strokes. Get plenty of rest, exercise and eat well. Remember - An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

The Canada Student Loans Program makes post-secondary education more accessible to those in need, by supplementing the resources avaihble to students from their families, employment, and other sources. The program is administered by the Government of Canada and delivered in cooperation with the provinces and banks. Nearly two million Canadians have received a Canada Student bn since tie program started in 1964 and currently almost one third bf university and community college students in Canada are recipients of the CSLP. In late October 1990, Secretary of State Gerry Weiner announced the appointment of Dr. Gail CookBennett to review the way in which the financial needs of post-secondary students are assessed under the CSLP. ‘The way in which students’ needs areiassessed,” said Mr. Weiner, “is the key to ensuring fair and ecpitable student assistance, controlling government spending on student aid, and preventing abuse of the program. I am commitied to pursuing these objectives and am very pleased that Dr. Cook-Bennett has agreed to take on this important assignment. She brings to the task the necessary combination of public and private sector experience and a sensitivity to the concerns of the post-secondary sectar.”

The appointment results from the gov&ent’s commitment to review the CSLP, including the needs assessment criteria and the administrative arrangements for assessing student need under the program. There are measures currently underway to improve the interest relief program, and to increase communication with financial institutions and student aid administrators so &tat students are more aware of the responsibilities and consequences associated with CSLI? The federal government has also implemented measures which have angered student leaders and many students across Canada, such as the three percent tax on a Canada Student Loan. ,In effect, students are being taxed for going into debt. Her report is expected in early 1991 and we hope that the prc@osaI will eliminate the three percent tax on the CSLand come forth with effective and realistic plans to improve the CSLP so that all students in colleges and universities across Canada can benefit. In-carrying out the new study, Dr. Cook-Bennett will consult key provincial government officials, student leaders, ,and financial aid administrators, as well as officials of the financial institutions which actually advance the funds borrowed under the program.

I don’t think there’s any doubt in the minds df students who have been on campus a little while, and who enjoy a bit of exercise that UW’s rer_reational facilities could do with some improvement. Do we really need to spend $12 million on a glorified athletics’ facility when campus clubs cannot find any office space? When all activity in the CC is forced to cease an~~time there are activities such its craft fairs or blood donor clinics in the Great Hall? When the Used Book Store is shoveXiit0 a tiny comer of the Campus Centre? When our poor oppressed smokers are confined to one room in the CC? When Federation,Commissiotiers are crammed two to an office? When line-ups snake out of the bank and the Wild Duck Cafe? Phase A of the Building - the only one whkh is being voted upon - does nothing to rectify the various non-athletic facility shortages that UW students face. If it is ‘approved and built it would contain three new basketball courts, an indoor track, more fitness/ dance studios, a couple of squash courts, more change room space, a juice bar, and seating for 3500 to watch events on the track and coUrts. Can anyone really envision the proposed Student Life Building solving the problems mentioned above? Line-ups for poster purchases stating in lane 1 of the new track, perhaps? A craft fair on a basketball court? A blood donor clinic next to a game of pick-up volleyball? It’s a good thing that the new athletic injury clinit will be accessible to nonvarsity athletes, since the career fair reps who get injured in collisions with runners while crossing the track would likely need some immediate attention. Where is the space for clubs? Where is extended jVbere+ __ _ ~t@l~qw2 _ _ - __ is the qwe that will make the Federation offices mcrr’@tiessible to those in wheelchairs, or those with other physcial hatidicaps? Where is the space for career fairs, craft fairs and ‘he like? AnsGer me! Don’t tell me that this space is accounted for in Phase C - a section of the building for which there is an additional $4.5 million price tag. Phase C is not guaranteed - in fact, in this recession the funding it depends upon is probably a pipe dream! This phase should have been the first priority. Even if the students, you, approve Phase A, there’s no guarantee that youll get ewxything that you bargained for. When the Columbia Ice Field was sold to the’ &dents (.&a isthe same word that John Ve&n@t~~&Xto@~b~ this ‘pferendum c&@#&&~~$$~$@r$,t~~~, tlyg p.@e rink ,wo@d ~~i~~~~i,~~~~.~~~~~~~” arbtind tie ia su&t$ ~~$$& w:b” Columbia rti Field lately? &v$‘y& .$#&$T track? The m&sing track gpiries thk End of cutbacks that can occur in large building pr.ojects. Of course, the situation that we’re in now is like a dead-end street: if students turn down the proposal, the& is no alternative offered. Students can either choose a very3awed option or no improved facilities at alI.

IIMPRINT

Why didn’t the past couple of Federation Executives learn from the way in which thy Fed Hall design was selected. A juried competition was held and a panel of professors and students then selected the best design. Students were invited to submit designs, and were involved in the whole process. Unlike this secretive one-dimensional process! Just as serious as the flaws in the building itself is the sliphod way in which the whole referendum has been run. Federation executives John Vellinga and Tess Sliwinski, members of the YES committee, were both intiolved in campaigning before the referendum campaign officially began, a violation of the Federation of Students’ Referendum Policy. Having realized their error, Student’s Council proceeded to alter the Policy -fir lhis referendum only - removing the clause which they had already violated! The deleted clause wiIl be reinstated for all future referenda (“No Committee battles premature campaign&$ Nov. 2). . Though I think that the resignations of the NO Committee have made debate on the issue very difficult, the YES side has done very little to inform the student body. Their posters simply state “Vote YES - A solution to one of Waterloo’s worst problems,” Because the pas-

ters are so vague, most students have the impression that they are getting office and wtail space. Once again, I state, THERE IS NO OFFICE OR RETAIL SPACE-IN THE PLAN THAT STUDENTS WILL VOTE UPON! Chris Burcsik, the Referendum C.RO. scheduled only two forums - neither of which could be covered by Imprint due to press deadlines. Not a brilliant way to inform the students. Further, the notion that a onemonth referendum period can be in any way adequate is one more ludicrous element in this whole sorry saga At Lakehead University, their stud&t union ran a seven-month referendum during which students were fully informed of the plan that they were voting upon and subsequently, approved it (see sidebar page 3). Because the proposal is inadequate to rectify truly pressing student needs; because the process has been pemerted from the outset; because students were never adequately involved in the design of the building, vote on November 21 and 22 - vote NO on November 21 and 22,

What to do with your junk mail It’s times like these that make you wonder just how effective the Canadian parliamentary system is. When the Prime Minister is elected, he or she is elected on a mandate to do whatever they promised to do during the election. That is a commonly understood convention In 1984, Mulroney said that there wasno way he ’ 13wXil~ ‘tipp&t+ * free ’ tiade, ’ ma&-@ some metaphor with elephants and mice. In 1985, he made another statement about how on&--tiust be’open-minded, and reversed his opinion of free trade. In the fall of 1988, the Senate forced the great conctitor to call an election - not because they simply didn’t like him - but because they felt he needed a mandate TV enact the FlZ.. He got it, but just barely (in terms of % of voter support). Whilst John Turner was hyperventilating in front of the all-important television, diligently &yir@o~convince the public that the FTA was not good for the nation, nearly all other politic$ is&es we!e obscured, and now he is doing ,Ltihatqiyr he feels like. ‘, I .+“&@&or@ . did say something about at the time, and. it is now -I,,; .x&& @t”i@ades a seven percent&x every i- ‘l’&i!, ti $&$k about buying anything. That “economik reform” thing can also ‘be used to justify cutbacks to anything. A mandate? The public thinks not. I have always been amazed that Canadians could never really muster any good-sized crowds to protest something the federal government did; until now. Mulroney’s GST has brought us all together. He has succeeded

Staff Meetings

in his quest to unite Canada. All of Canada wants to see him in Lac Meech with cement shoes. How he keeps his sanity is beyond me. A crowd of 300 protesters. He gets out, smiles and waves. They spit on his limo. Middle fingers are waved. They scream obscenities. He keeps smiling. He’s no longer out of touch 6&h puhlicopinion of his leadership, so why does he persist? “&hG3&@ hF&~hg’%+l%af’s”gcmd fo? thi? &un; ’ try, not what’s popular”. Pretty lame rationale if you ask me. Past -Prime Ministers have found some kind of a fine line between the two sides to walk on, thus getting themselves re-elected. That is the top priority for care& po&icians. But Brian’s punch-drunk with his agenda and consequently tipped way over to the righl. The recent television “debate”? Would it surprise you to learn that the President of the station that broadcast the thing was a longtime friend of the Prime Minister? No chance of things being rigged. No way. Uh-uh. Not a chance. We don’t have to put up with thism&ense. Send all your junk mail to the Prime Minister (it’s free!). Don’t send in your tax return early wait until the last day, thus depriving the government of anticipated revenue. Do anything possible to show your displeasure. Then maybe he could kill two birds with one stone, He could do what’s popular and do what’s right for the country - RESIGN!!! Dave Thmxmn

beine an OSAP recipient a requirement for an On&o Work Study job. 1 Maybe a solution to the problem with the Escort Service is to “can” the funds given by OSAP for this job and let the Federation of Students fund the program entirely. I think this would make everyone happy (except the Feds).

we vote NO for now and have another vote for the Building if the Rae government carries through on its promise to fund our tuition fees? As anaside, it’s too bad that the plans for the Building do not call for a hotel overlooking the running track It would definitely make a run on the new track a lot more interesting.

Vote on November 21/22 To the editor,

To the editor, Re “Lori’s livid” (Nov. 2) I enjoy reading Imprint’s forum section, especially when there is a good battle of opinions from week to week. What I don’t enjoy is people stating their opinions without thinking. I am referring to Lori’s statement “. . . If I had received OSAP, why would I need to work?” It is obvious this statement was made purely out of anger. Needless to say, I am receiving OSAP and I have an Ontario Work Study job. Since I am receiving OSAP, why do I need a part-time job? We11 . . . “Ixt me count the ways., . ” 1. As everybody (who gets OSAP) knows, OSAP doesn’t cover all your needs. 2. My parents can’t afford to help me financially. 3. My summer job earnings don’t cover the balance of my expenses after OSAP (loans and grants). Where do I get the rest of the money? Maybe 111 get a part-time job? Now there’s a good idea. Now that is off my chest, I would like to put in my two cents worth (GST not included) about Ontario Work Study Jobs being discriminatory. I don’t think that they are . . . why? . . . because OSAP is a REQUIREMENT to get the job (and just because you get OSAP doesn’t mean that you11 get the job either). For example, say you are looking for a job; you search the newspapers and finally you see a job that appeals to you You read through and find that the applicant must have an MBA and all you have is a BBA. What hap pens now? Are you going to file for dis. . -tion on the basis that you don’t have ah MBA? Probably not! You realize that an MBA is a requirement to get the job. Well, so is

Problems? What problems? To the editor, “Vote yes for the future.” “We’ve got a solution to one of Waterloo’s worst problems.‘* As I read these posters, I came to understand that on Nov. 21 I can vote to solve this “problem,” What is this alleged problem? Adjacent posters asked me to come out on Nov. 8 and protest underfunding. This led me to believe that underfunding is actually Waterloo’s “worst problem.” Reading on, I deduced that the “worst problem” these posters were talking about was the lack of a Student tie Building After finally deciphering these cryptic messages, I would like to ask the Federation of Students one question: how can you ask students to approve a $12 million-plus Student L,ife Building on Nov. 21 just 13 days after protesting underfunding? So, Waterloo students, what is Waterloo’s worst -problem? Peter Ihchler 38 Mech Eng

Whether you are in favour of the Building or not, please vote on November 21122. The vote might turn out to be much closer than expected with your vote.

It’s too bad that the NO Committee fell apart last week since this means that students will not be able to get an accurate picture rep resenting both sides of the issue. If you are planning on voting in favour of the Building, please keep the following points in mind. We are being told that the project should cost in the area of 12 million dollars - yeah right, and the Skydome was to cost only 150 million, or was that 300 million or 1 billion? Who can control that the project doesn’t get delayed by strikes? In this project, you have to involve brick layers, electricians, and other skilIed labour of which many are unionized. It only takes one group to go on strike to stop all the others from completing their work. Picket lines mean delays which in turn mean much higher costs. Currently, we’re in a period of stagflation. This means two things in respect to the Building. The first is that we, as students, will have a harder time finding jobs to pay for alI of our fees. The second is that the costs of everything,’ including raw materials will be rising rapidly, We will be paying off this mortgage in many more years than the YES Committee would Iike us to believe. Lastly, if the Rae government carries through on its promise to fully fund university student tuition fees, this wiIl mean that we wilI only have to pay for the extra fees. As students, we wilI all find it much easier to pay for extra fees including as much as forty dolIars (in today’s money) for the Building once this policy takes effect It would be great to have a Student Life Buildin& but is it a luxury that we can currently afford? Why can’t

Fear no labels TO the editor, It has come to my attention that many Villagers are afraid to sell tickets for the Benefit Semi-Formal (which this year is a fundraiser for ACCKWA) because they are afraid of being labelled as gay. It is unfortunate that such a worthwhile, desperately-needed organization as ACCKWA should suffer because of homophobia. Attitudes like this reinforce the need for public awareness about AIDS and the role of ACCKWA. ACCKWA is a support agency for AIDS victims: male and female, gay and straight It is also an educational resource for the general public. With the incidence of AIDS rising d.ramaticalIy, both roies of ACCKWA are vitaI. They need to expand their resources, and this requires money, Sell those tickets!

traffic, I was about to turn left from the road by General Services onto Ring Road. Just as my foot touched the accelerator, you broke the light reflected from the pavement by the street light over the road. I saw this out of my water spattered driver’s side window for a small fraction of a second and hit the brakes. Had I been your average lead footed student driver, had I not been young, and with fairly quick reactions, had that street lamp not been in a lucky place, and had I not glanced left just at that precise moment when you blocked the light, you would either be reading this from KW Hospital with severe injuries, or not be able to read it at all.

Delusion of immortality To the editor,

I am writing this as an open Ietter to someone 1don’t know, but came very close to meeting under tragic circumstances. As you may recall, the evening of Wednesday November 7th was very wet, overcast, and dark. I was driving a large North American built car, you were riding a bike without either lights or visible reflectors. At about 7:20 pm, after carefully checking for

‘without lights? Many times along Bearinger Rd., north of campus, I’ve come up behind students, riding unlit mountain bikes, and wearing black UW leather jackets and dark jeans. They seem to think that the two little reflectors on their pedals will alert drivers to their presence on a wet night. They are usually spotted when the car is about 30 feet behind them, if at all. It’s a wonder that only a few are killed. You yourselfcame within about a tenth of a second of dying. To any cyclist reading this: PUT LIGHTS ON YOUR BIKE! Many stores will happily sell you a set for about $15. Even on wet nights, I usually spot those little red back lights from about a quarter mile away, giving me ample warning. Reflectors alone only light up brightly when they are in the path of my headlights, but using extra reflectors front, back and sides, can only make things better, and only costs a few dollars. Please take my warntig seriously. I’m sure YOU don’t want to end up as so much pulp under my car wheels, and I certainly don’t want to live with the guilt of having wed you.

So what the heck is going on around here? I am an employee of Federation Hall and on Saturday, October 20, myself and three other employees dug three holes to accommodate volleyball posts on the new sand volleyball courts. These courts are now a permanent fixture at Fed Hall. We intended to hold numerous tournaments, including one during this year’s Homecoming weekend. But alas, this never happened. On Monday, October 29, five employees from Plant Operations, equipped with a back hoe, came over and ripped them out. The three hours of labour that it took us to dig and cement the posts was ruined in a matter of minutes. Why? Well, reportedly we did not go through the proper channeIs. Yeah right! A supervisor, who was a member of our group, talked to Plant Operations to have; them actively involved in the location of s&ices. Plant Operations obliged and sent someone over to do a locate of these services. We felt that we could save the Student Federation a few bucks by doing the work ourselves. I smell a conspiracy! If they didn’t want us to do the work in the first place, why did they let us do it all? Plant Operations had to know what was going on that Saturday morning because they lent us a pair of wheelbarrows and shovels. Do they think we are not capable of digging three holes in the ground? Do you need an engineering degree to wield a wheelbarrow? Their excessive time could be better spent fixing the urinal that has been missing from the men’s washroom in Fed Hall since 1986. We have been trying for three years lust to have them fix the‘ tiles in the ladies’ washroom. Is it any wonder that universities are having budget problems. AU I want to know is why? PS I would like to know who is going to get slapped for the bill for removal. I put my money on the Feds.

AIDS has received so much media attention of late th& the typical resp&se seems td b;e ZQh no, pot more AIDS stufL” The average university student seems feel that he or she is well-informed about the disease and methods of prevention. Sadly, this knowledge does not seem to be having any great effect on people’s behaviour. AIDS is spreading at an alarming rate, and more and more, it is being spread by heterosexual activity. The World Health Organization estimates that the number of AIDS cases will increase by nine limes in the 1990s. Despite public education, myths about AIDS still abound. Myth #l: “AIDS is a disease of male honwsexuals.” Fact: AIDS is spread primarily by sexal intercourse and sharing needles. Ihose at risk are male, female, gay md straight. In certain parts of Africa, where the disease originated, heterosexua! intercourse is the primary method of transmission of he disease, and equal numbers of males and females are infected. Myth #2: “Peaple with AIDS d-e the d&ad’ Fact: AIDS can happen to anyone. Your partner could be infected with he HIV virus and not know it - don’t take someone’s word that they are ‘safe”, even if he or she is a nice per;on. Nice people get AIDS, too.

How the HIV Virus is Transmitted: -Fromwomantomanormanto woman during sexual intercourse - Anal sex - Intravenous drug use - Artificial insemination - Oral sex (on a man or woman) this is less risky, but should be, avoided if you have any cuts or sores in your mouth - “Deep kissing” is an extremely low risk activity but technically the HIV virus could pass into the bloodstream through cuts or sores in the mouth.

or sores in your mouth. Don’t share needles or se%- If you are planning artificial insemination, check first with your doctor to ensure that the donor’s blood has been tested and does, not contain the AIDS virus antibody - Abstain from sex when you’re drunk or stoned. You’re less likely to properly protect yourself in this state. Remember, you’re having sex with everyone your partner has ever had sex with. Protect yourself. Condom

You will not become idvxtd from: - Casual contact such as hugging or touching - Receiving a blood transfusion (all blood in Canada is now screened for the HIV virus) - Donating blood (all needles are sterile and only used once) Sharing bathrooms, food, kitchenware or clothes, or being in the same classroom or lab as an infected person -l Public toilets, drinkinn founbins, public transportation oi swimming pools. How to pn&ct

yourself:

- Use a latex condom during sexual intercourse For vaginal intercourse, use nonoxynol-9 spermicide (foam, sup pository) in addition to a latex condom, or use a condom with nonoxynol-9 already on it (it’ll say on the package if it has it) - Avoid oral sex if you have cuts

Tips:

- Use latex, not animal membrane condoms - Use water based lubricants and sperrnicides - not petroleum jelly or oil based lubricants, as these weaken Iatex and may cause condor-n breakage. - Put condom on prior to any sexual contact with your partner.

healthy for years. However, over time most people will develop illnesses which become more and more severe as the immune system weakens. Whether he or she has symptoms or not, a person who is infected with the HIV virus can transmit the infection to others. General symptoms occur in some HIV-infected people, and include persistent fatigue, unexplained weight loss, diarrhea, enlarged lymph glands in the neck, armpits or groin, night sweats or fevers, and thrush, which is a ‘thick persistent whitish coati& on the tongue or throat. If you have any of these symptoms, don’t panic - they are often caused by common illnesses. Do see your doctor.

Are vou sexuallv active? Are vou sexual& responsible? Do you care about yourself and your partner? If you do, then consider the need for protection from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like AIDS, chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, syphilis, and vaginal warts, and from unwanted pregnancy. Remember, it can happen to you! The following is the short and incomnlete summarv of the wonderful world of birth control. The natural method, or Vatican Roulette, is designed to help women detect the fertile time of the menstrual cvcle. This method involves mon&oring fertility before, during and after the time of ovulation. The disadvantage of this method is that such variables as stress, illness or fatigue affect normal body temperatures, and menstrual cycles, and therefore it is difficult to be accurate.

Step up to the whell of VaticanRoulette The success rate is 70 percent, and there are no physical side effects except, of course, that 30 women out of every 100 become pregnant-and it is sanctioned by most religious groups* A sheath of thin latex, also known as a ccmdom, is a very popular alternative to the natural method. Condoms, when used properly, cover the man’s penis and trap semen before and during ejaculation Condoms should be used during ail genital sex, to stop those pesky pre-cum leakages.

such as K-Y Jelly (not Vaseline, crisco, or butter), the condom is 90 percent ’ effective in preventing pregnancy and 95 percent effective in preventing STDs. When a condom is used, a man shares the sexual responsibility. And now, The Fill, that series of tablets containing progesterone and estrogen, two normal female hormones. When taken daily, they prevent a woman’s body from producing an egg and alter the uterine lining and cervical mucus, making impregnation impossible 96 percent of the time. The pill must be taken at the same time every day to be effective, and if more than one pill is missed, another birth control method must be used. The pill is easy to use, but there is great controversy concerning its side effects, and the male does not have to assume sexual responsibility. The diaphragm is a shallow rubber cup with a rim fitted over the cervix. When used with jelly and cream, the diaphragm blocks sperm from uterine entry, and stuns the sperm. This method is 83 percent effective, with easy insertion and few side effects. And last, but not least, The Wonder Sponge! Soft, disposable, and made of polyurethane, this foam sponge, when inserted into the cervix, releases spermicide that kills sperm dead on contact. But beware: an allergic reaction may cause toxic shock syndrome, and the sponge must be put in at least six hours before intercourse and must be removed no sooner than six hours after penetration, to ensure that alI the sperm are dead, dead, dead! As you can see, no birth control is 100 percent effective. If you are going to be sexually active, be prepared to accept all the responsibilities and consequences of the action. This means both men and women; all participants are responsible. Sex is both fun and good, and with the proper respect and a little planning, sex can be safe. Safe sex is great sex. There is a lot more to know about sexuality, sexual responsibility, and safe sex options. For more information, contact the Women’s Centre, Sexual Resource Centre, or Health Services. Enjoy!

As with food, it is difficultto tell if you enjoy or dislike an aspect of sexuality before tryQ it. In this sense, the key to sexual happiness is exploration. If you’re curious about sexual satisfaction, try what appeals to you before deciding what to avoid. But bear in mind that it is physically impossible to fulfill every one of your sexual fantasies, and that there are health risks associated with certain activities. Sexual satisfaction is not total and eternal. Human desires are sometimes too complex. SexuaI needs can also change or diminish over time. So exploration will not provide a onetime answer regarding happiness. Counselling, reading and open dis-

All sourcesof happiness are valid Traditions and biblical origin give this form of sexuality its popularity, and so deviations from it are less common in the aggregate. This imbaIance has led to a heterosexist environment in which sexual minorities are not given equal recognition or tolerance. Therefore, it can be more difficult to derive satisfaction from less common forms of sexuality.

Perhaps the satisfac *on you derive from your sexual ac $‘vities is sufficient to ke<ep you from questioning your own happiness. Even if you have no doubts, try to determine how much of your happiness is buiIt upon society’s approval. For some individuals, such approval is the key to happiness, regardless of how they feel about their sexual relationships. At the other extreme, society’s judgments can be disregarded by those individuals whose sexuality is sel&defined. We al1 value approval and self-gratification differently, so all sources of happiness are v&d ones. Still, it is easier and more instinctive for humans to satisfy themselves than it is for them to satisfy others. ShouId we all be open about our

Safe routes to Library Five ways to prevent abortion and one way that won’t byFii?@Uer Right To Choice

The committee has posted petitions for safety around campus during the past few weeks and has acquired nearly lm signatures to date. These signatures will be sent to mversity R&dent Doug Wright with the hope that he will respond bj implementing better safety measures around the campits.

Imprintstaff Anyone walking to or from the Dana Porter Arts Library late at night can attest to its poorly lit routes. Last year, a group of third year planning students conducted a survey of

The Right To Choice is conducting a panel discussion on Wednesday, November 23 in Campus Centre room 110 from 2:30 to 3:30pm to discuss “Five Ways to Prevent Abortion and One Way That Won’t.” This discussion is being organized as part of “AIDS and Sexuality Awareness Week” The pro-choice movement has consistently fought to provide people with the information and the means to control their reproductive lives. Ideally such control can.be enact&l by education combined with available and effective contraception. Unfortunately, no contraceptive is 100 per cent effective, and some of the most effective measures (such as the IUD and the Birth Control Pii) have side effects and potential complications which make them unusable for many women. The vast majority of unwanted or crisis pregnancies occur despite the use of birth control - over 80 per cent. Obviously, such failure rates suggest that some of the birth control being u&d is inadequate and/or improperly used. These pregnancies result, therefore, not from care&+ ness but from ignorance and misinformation. Women must be morally and legally free to choose how they wish to deal with an unwanted pre&nancy. There are those who argue that if people - read women - are sexually active, they must be prepared to face the consequences of their actions. This argument is problematic for many reasons, but primarily because it is vindictive. Its intent is punishment, and the crime is sex Pregnancy and consequent motherhood is not and should not be a punishment. It takes more than biology to make a mother, it also takes conscious commitment, and coercion is not conducive to developing such commitment. For many reasons most people would like to reduce the total number of abotions performed, It is always better to prevent than to beat; though abortion is one of the safest mediczJ proceduresavailable, it is still an intrusive medical procedure. There are numerous ways to reduce the number of abortions; accessible contraception, sexuality edu&ion, and new and safer methods of bii control are the obvious methods. In addition, it is crucial that we increase male responsibility for birth control and encourage ongoing dialogue between couples. Finally, we must acl&owledge that issues of sexuality and reproductionare part of our broader social concerns. We must include in the debate discussion of poverty, employment and educational opportunities, and day care.

Abortion is a complex issue, and a knee-jerk reaction will not resolve it. Illegality-will not prevent abortion, it will only make it dangerous, again. Across the world and throughout the ages, when women have felt that abortion was the only option, they have had abortions, safe and unsafe, legal and illegal. Do we need to go back to those dark days in Canada when women died or were maimed trying to control their Lives?

students’ perception of safety on campus. The results were that 72 percent of the women polled and a similarly high number of men felt unsafe on campus at night

72percent of women pulledfelt unsafeon campusat night A group ot both undergraduate &nd graduate planners, sharing their mutually negative feelings of travelling to the library at night, formed the Committee for Safety on Campus. This committee is not reactive, but rather proactive, irk the sense that its aim is to prevent any serious assault to a person that may occur in the future.

The Committee for Safety on Campus requests that in the short term, library access from main bus stops, residences, and the north entrance of campus on Columbia Street be better Iit and patrolled by easily identifiable guards. The Committee sees instalLation of emergency telephones to be a medium-term priority, and in the long term, security should be better taken into account when making design changes to campus. Safety within a university campus is a fundamental right, says the Committee. It is the responsibility of the administration to do everything within its capability to ensure that this safety is maintained.

is going to be over in another 12 months and people are going to to be saying ‘you haven’t produced, the violence is still going on, you haven’t changed anything’.”

This comment was made by Richard Ma&ride, programmer and educator with the Global Community Centre in Waterloo, speaking at a meeting on South Africa held on November 6 sponsored by Students for International Development.

Anyone hearing of the recent violence in South Africa is bound to be somewhat confused. Nelson Mandela, held in prison for 27 years by the white Nationalist government on charges of sedition, is the black revolutionary who started his career as a lawyer in 1952. It wasn’t until the infamous SharpviIle massacre in 1960 in which 69 black protestors were killed that Mandela abandoned his earlier peaceful methods of protesting white rule to set up a black military underground for the ANC the African National Congress. Convicted in 1964 of attempting to overthrow the government, Mandela

is ending was sentenced

to life imprisonment.

His recent release was seen by many to signal the end of tyranny and the beginning of a process of reconcilia-

tion between the 26 million disenfranchised blacks and the five million whites who have dominated them politically and economically, socially+ Ofinions vary as to the reasons for Mandela’s release. Some say it was sanctions that effected the release not only of Mandela, but other prominent political prisoners. It was sanctions that saw the lifting of the 30on political year old ban *continued to page 159

ive the

by Dave Thomson Imprint staff The Campus Centre was originally built with money from students who attended UW in the late 1960%. It was completed in 1968 and under control of university administration until October 21 of that year, when a Campus Centre Board was created to allow students to run it. Doug Wright became the Resident of the University of Waterloo on July 1,1981, and said that he didn’t foresee “any particular changes.“In November of 1981, President Wright announced that he was going to change the structure of the Campus Centre Board from a decision-making body to an advisory committee. This would mean that students wouId no longer have control over the buikling that they had paid fees toward to have built. On February 11,1982, during a meeting of the CC Board, UW’s Director of Academic Services Fat Robertson suspended the CC Board on behalf of Doug Wright during a motion to dismiss the Chair of the Campus Centre Board. The Committee of Presidents supported this decision in a Ietter to Doug Wright, saying that the CC Board “should’he suspended until March 15, 1982. Mr. Wright defined the problems of the CC Board as “IIlogicality in the constitution (of the CC Board) and, the definition of responsibilities of the board” and certain other political conflicts. Then on March 10 1982, Mr. Wright dissolved the CC Board indefinitely, and sybsequently proposed a new set of policies for the Board whereby the President of the University (Mr. Wright) would have veto power over all Board decisions. I could not locate any further information pertaining to the restructuring of the CC Board, but the current situation is that the Campus Centre and its activities are run by the University administration. Rumor has it that administration gained control through one of those “dollar” sales, whereby the building was sold for the nominal sum of one dollar to make things legal. Regardless, this means that the university administration is responsible for bringing us recent “junk from around the world” displays disguised as craft fairs. How many students can afford “crafts”priced past $lOO? No-one I know. The administration is essentially determining what they think students want, and then providing it. This whole preamble leads up to another subject that the apathetic student body should know about. Did you ever notice that the downstairs of the Campus Centre seems to be crowded? Does it seem that you have to squeeze past someone every time you go downstairs? Well, the truth of the matter is that the downstairs is smaller, by roughly two thousand (2000) square feet. Simply put, there are two huge rooms which lie on the Ring road-side of the hallway which runs through the downstairs of the Campus Centre. They are filled with about three and a half feet of sand and are not accessible to the general public, unless you know where the entrances are. All together, there is at least 2000 square feet of undeveloped space just waiting for someone to do something with it. Do what? More student lounge space. More meeting space for campus clubs. More shops. Expand, the Campus Shop, Used Bookstore, and the Record Store. More Federation of Students’ 0ffices. Possible new location for the Imprint? The possibilities are many. And it has to be cheaper to vacuum the sand out of there than to construct a new buiIding. Ernie Lucy is the Dean of Students, who is in charge of Ann Simpson, who is Manager of the Campus Centre. Someone in this chain of command in University administration is res risible for initiating a proposal to ban the smoking room in the Campus cp”entre. Part of the rationale for this is that student clubs need more meeting space. Hmmm. Where is the student input into this policy? None visible. Seems to me that we don’t need administration to decide what is bestfor students. As I recall, that is the job of the Federation of Students, whom we pay somewhere in the neighbourhood of $20 every term. But they don’t have any authority over the Campus Centre. Administration has however, in their wisdom, granted the Feds their office space free of rent. I don’t care how, but some student bbdy should be in control of the Campus Centre. It was built with student’s money. I’m sure the Federation of Students is more than capable of organizing Blood Donor Clinics and lmaginus Print Sales. Give control of the Campus Centre back to the students. Make the CC Board answerable to the Federation of Students and not to University administration. This would make the Board more directly accountable td the students, and therefore more responsive to their needs. And would someone please do something with alI that wasted space downstairs in the CC?

l cont’d, from page 140 demonstrations and of several other changes the eased, but has not yet erased the ugliness of apartheid (apartness). 0ther people contend that violence, or the threat of violence, is what forces change. This view, which history corroborates, cannot be the explanation for the changes in South Africa, neither can sanctions, to a lesser extent, be the force that caused the turnabout, though both have undoubtedly contributed to it. In 1979, long before economic sanctions were considered, then president P.W. Botha told his cabinet the country and government must “adapt or die.” Changes were aheady being negotiated. Was it the violence then? Richard MacBride, who worked for years in Lesotho, says that most of the action to end apartheid, as much as 95 per cent, has been in labour, business and consumer boycotts. Perhaps some wouId quibble with that figure, but the fact is, the country cannot operate without the

black labour, so the ‘stay-aways’ have proven to be highly effective. The repression has always been from the white colonists; the economic violence that has kept the majority of the population in virtual slavery. the anger this subjugation has has produced has not, however, been directed to the whites Much of the violence, despite past media depictions, has been black on black. Sowetq in recent months has seen an upsurge of clashes between the various movements and organizations of South African blacks that all demand the same thing black majority rule but who are fiercely, and blo-+ily opposed on how to attain it. Mandela has grown, over the years, to the years, to almost mythical proportions, to the stature of saviour of South Africa, and yet, since his release earlier this year, the violence in the townships has grown. The A.N.C., whose followers are derived xn&nly from the Xhosa tribe, is the lar@st and best-known movement,

but even in its splinter groups who want to either abandon the armed struggle or fight to the death. Many of the members within the AN-C. are young enough to think of Mandela as more a symbol, and are resentful of his taking over the reins. other groups, such as the P.A.C. (Pan African Congress) are violently opposed to any negotiations with the government at alI and vow to continue their armed struggle until blacks-only rule. The biggest opposition to the A.N.C. is the Zuludominated Inkatha Movement led by Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi. Buthelezi campaigned along with everyone else for the release Mandela, but claims eJf rights to participate in government negotiati&s, a right the AN-C. demand is theirs alone. The negotitions are on the balance of power that ail the black groups agree must rest with the majority rule. The white government, however, with the minority of votes (in a one person, one vote scenario) wants the balance

to be shared equally between the whites and blacks. Whether the power,mn be shed eqdy be+ ween the black factions is another question. Meanwhile the violence

The fee was to be $5 per term during the construction phase (between fall 1982 and fall 1983). The fee was to increase to $10 per term after thr: opening of the facility in October 1983 and was to be charged for seven -years, the expected time to pay off the mortgage. The seven years is now up, and VPOF Sliwinski says that the mortgage was paid off about eight months ago, giving the Athletic FaciIity fund a $360,000 surplus.

The British Columbia governnent is seeking funding to pay the fil.23-billion cost of this facility to upgrade the current Vancouvergased TRIUMF particle accelerator. B.C. has pledged to contribute $280million and is seeking money from 3ttawa. However, a number of critics fear hat Ottawa will earmark half of next year’s National Science and Research Engineering Council budget for this. An unreleased negative review of the project by the National Advisory Board on Science and Technology suggests that industrial and economic spino& are not forthcoming. In Strauss’ article this week, our own president, Douglas Wright, has be quoted as saying, “the scientific community felt that good sense would prevail and Kaon wouldn’t

proceed, and now, ior a number oi reasons, they are fearful it will go ahead.” Arthur May, former head of NSERC states, “apart from a few dozen individuals in the physics community, and not even all those in high-energy physics, there is zero support for &ton.” We also learn that B-C. officials say the critics are wrong in their attacks and counter that they will not be taking away financing from smaller projects. “We have always said Kaon should not compete with small science projects,” Erich Vogt, TIUUMF director assured. Al1 this brings us back to what Strauss wanted to find out from his aixdience. What do Canadians and not just scientists think about big mega-projects like this. Ddes anyone care about the cost and possible affect on research funding for things like studying the behaviour of pollinating insects on plant populations. Canada is not in a position to throw a lot of money into one basket. So where do we set our priorities? Part of -the problem may be brought back to the level of scien’ce literacy in this country. If people don’t want to touch a test tube with a proverbial ten-foot pole, how can you expect them to ponder the imptication of fundamental particles and the structure of the universe. I’m generalizing, but, Strauss has implied that maybe regular science news is pretty boring stuff and people like to read about political debates, backstabbing and bickering. Well, if his

recent article this week is any indication, he is trying to oblige. However, I think one of the pr* blems is the dichotomy in the meaning of: a scientific community, and the idea of everyone else. Scientists do science; everyone else does whatever else they do. Therefore an esoteric subject like particle physics wiU not pull at the heart strings of your gverage citizen, let alone their pocketbook And that is the tragedy. If the critics of Kaon are correct and research funds are diverted, they can yell as loud as they want, but most Canadians won’t think twice about what just happened. If you were to come up with an idea to clean up toxic pollutants, reduce sulfur and carbon dioxide emissions, or save old-growth forests from logging you would see public concern over how the money is being handled. Yet money for these projects aren’t in the immediate offing. The merits of the Kaon project should be weighed against these other. projects. But it won’t generate the same amount of consternation and debate as pulling out on a ball&opera hall. That is the reality. As long as there are two cultures, science and art, that strive to maintain mutual exclusivity, people in both areas will have a hard time trying to understand the merits of the other’s goals. I’d like to hear from Imprint readers in science and any other faculty about this dilemma. If I can get at least one reply, I11 know at least that others are thinking along similar pati*

by David Kder special to I.mplint N&OU& depletion of the ozone layer has not been in the news much lately, the situation is far from ~dved. The ozone question will b around far a long time. Even without our releases of ozone-destructive chemicals into the atmosphere, ozone fluctuations occur naturally and take place over long time scales. Ozone fluctuations have huge effects on life on earth, and duly have received a lot of discussion.

Clearly, the problem of ozone depletion is very serious and deserving of more fundamental discussion than what comes out in the news. For those interested in the environment and environmental science, here is a brief account of the formation and function of the ozone layer. The formation of the ozone layer is a~sxided with the evolution of multi-celled life, Its function is to protect, and apparently, to regulate life on earth.

Ilie Atmospheric and earth sciences are the leading voices on the ozone situation,andbGlsedupontheirviews, the problem is not simple or about to go away. Dr. w M. Caldwell, a leading authority on on the biological efkk of ultraviolet (UV) radiition says that if solar radiation reaching the earth was not filtered by the ozone layer it would be “lethal for qmkcted organisms iis we know them.” B.V. Boville of the Canadian Atmospheric Environment Service had written that the ozone layer is a “crucial element to climate and the existence of all life on earth” A paper deliv4xed at a United Natiunsspsored conference in 1977 states “the whole biological world, so rnicpl-organis~, dependent on my, if dws of W radiation increase, be in serious trouble.“These views, combined with predictions of significant continuing ozone n&Ktion, are not to be taken tightly.

l cont’d. from page 16. There is evidence that the develop ment of DNA followed soon after photosynthesis. However, because DNA is harmed by UV light, evolution, in places within the reach of the sun, was hindered. The organisms also had the problem that the 02 they produced was toxic to them. The 02 problem was ultimately solved with the development of enzymes that could return their 02 harmlessly to the environment. Freed of the toxic effects of 02, life proliferated in the ocean and built up the atmospheric Q2 concentration. With 02 came the ozone layer, and with less surface UV, the earth became a much safer place for life. Some scientists believe that the formation of the ozone layer set the stage for the “eruptive” proliferation of species that is found in the records of the Cambrian period. Naturally, the question arises Vyhether heavy depletion of ozone might bring about a dramatic d&ppearance of life on earth. The question, with our current state of scientific knowledge, can’t be confidently answered. However, one relationship between life on earth ;3nd the amount of ozone in the stratosphere has been identified that gives us some idea as to what might haDben.

cfzuses of ozone layer depletion still beingsadied It is known that the ozone concentration is influenced by the amount of organic decay, and hence the amount of organic life on earth. Nitrous oxide is a product of organic decay. Nitric oxide, one of the compounds responsible for ozone destruction, is produced from nitrous oxide. Hence, organic decay acts to regulate the ozone. When life is abundant, more nitrous oride is released, which reduces ozone. And, when life is sparse and there is little organic decay, the ozone layer builds up. Serious losses of ozone have been recorded and further damage is predicted to result from the atmospheric ozone-destructive build-up of pollutants, such as CFC’s and nitrous oxide from agricultural fertilizers. It is pretty safe to predict that the total amount of organic life on earth will decline as a result, although it may impossible to ultimately be accurately say by how much.

Skin disease breakthrough by Lorraine Brown Canadian Science News

ted, and incurabfe.

Melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer, is on the rise. But scientists at the University of Alberta in Edmonton have found a way to detect melanoma in its early stages, greatly increasing the chance of successful treatment. Dr. Kowichi Jimbow, a researcher in the university’s Dermatology and Cutaneous Sciences Department, has found an unusual protein in the abnormal cells that develop into melanoma. He and his colleagues have found a way to identify this protein, giving them the ability to detect melanoma very early - even before it is noticeable in changes on the skin Surface.

Melanoma develops in pigmentDroducing cells caIled melano*es-These cells are located hroughout the body - in the brain, Gr, mucous membranes, inside the m, nose, and mouth, as well as on he skin, where clusters of them are *ible as moles and freckles. Melanoma can develop in any of hese areas. But in Caucasians, it is nost likely to occur on the skin, specially skin exposed to the sun. The people most likely to develop nelanoma are fair-skinned, light laired people with a lot of moles, specially moles of an unusual shape, :olour, or size. If there is a family hisory of melanoma, they are at even geater risk. Melanoma often begins with :hanges in the shape and colour of noles. It develops most frequently on he back, where people are unlikely o notice the changes. They go to a doctor only when a mole starts to )leed and becomes ulcerated but by hen the cancer is often quite adva&

Jimbow has found that there are two forms of the pigment melanin. True melanin, a pigment found in black skin and black hair, seems to play a protective role against melanoma. Black people have a far lower incidence of the cancer than white people. The other type is pheomelanin, a yellow and red pigment. Fair people have this pigment, but the presence of large amounts of it in a mole indicates the presence of the cells that make it - cells that can develop into melanoma. So the more pheomelanin one has in moles, the more one is susceptible to melanoma, Jimbow says. Both dark and fair people have both types of melanin, he says. But dark people have a lot of melanin and little pheomelanin; fair people are the reverse.

nh?lunumaand skin cancer For some reason exposure to certain wavelengths of sunlight not only increases the production of pheomelanin but aiso causes the pigment to change, inducing changes in the cells that produce it. The cells become cancerous, and as they grow and spread, more pheomelanin is produced and is secreted into the body fluids. Jirnbow and his colleagues have discovered that these cancerous cells also contain a protein with a unique structure. The researchers have developed a monoclod antibody specific to the protein. (Monoclonal antibodies are man-made hybrid cells that can be tailor made to produce antibodies against a very specific target _ - in this case, the uniquely

structured protein in melanoma cells.) If a patient has a mole that is changing in colour or shape, a biopsy of the tissue is taken. The biopsy might not melanoma to a derindicate matologist, especially in the early stages. But if the tissue is combined with Jimbow’s monoclonal antibody and produces a reaction, this signals the presence of disease, and chemotherapy can begin immediately. The excess pheomelanin produced by the melanoma cells winds up in the blood and urine. Jimbow also developed a monoclonal antibody against the pheomelanin as well. This test is useful in determining the effectiveness chemotherapy. If levels of pheomelanin go down in body fluids after chemotherapy, then the treatment is working. Jimbow is working with Biomirti Inc. to produce a diagnostic kit that

will make these new techniques available to doctors. The kit should be on the market within two years. Scientists know that the incidence of melanoma increases with increased exposure to sun. They are less certain that the thinning ozone layer is a direct cause of the recent increase in melanoma, but many feel it could be. Melanoma is caused by exposure to the ultraviolet-B (UV-8) part of sunlight, which is also the part that the ozone layer stops from reaching the earth’s surface. Scientists predict that, if the ozone layer grows thinner, more W-B will get through and even greater increase in melanoma cases will result. Jimbow’s research is funded by the Medical Research Council of Canada, The National Cancer Institute, the Alberta Cancer Board and thr Alberta Heritage Foundation fo Medical Research.

This article is a brief introduction to the role that you, the Waterloo student, have in either prese*g or destroying the environment of third world countries. It will explore a diversity of ways in which industries and consumers in first world countries contribute to environmental destruction in third world countries. By exploring a variety of topics we hope to stimulate thoughts about the role of the consumer in counteracting environmental destruction. 5pecifically, we hope to enable you, the Waterloo student, to feel as though your solitary decisions can effect change; change that reduces the amount of environmental destruction that occurs in third world countries.

why Industries

Degrade

the Environment

Faced with fewer environmental laws or standards, industries in third world countries will often operate at a level of environmental degradation that wotil[d be u&xeptable in developed countries. They w-i@ also wield their power in a more heavy-htided manner, especially when the industry pr&ides much needed foreign exchange earnbe. In Ghana, 80,000 people were displaced by a hydroelectric project built to supply electricity for aluminum smelting operations for the Reynolds and Kaiser aluminum companies. For an industrial operation to be profitable in a third world country, markets must exist for the final products - often these markets are back in developed countries. The industry must be able to create a product at a low enough price to overcome the cost of transporting the product worldwide. While the low cost of labour and other factors of production help, there is often no incentive to reduce the level of environmental degradation resulting from production. Environmental laws are weak, fines (if any) are low, regulations are imperfectly enforced, and polluting industries are not subjected to organized community pressures to desist polluting. In short, the industry only succeeds in making its products less competitive economically by enforcing a more rigorous code of environmental conduct.

Who degrades? Tropiml

Rainfore&

Destructi~

It is a well known issue that tropical rainforests are disappearing worldwide at an alarming rate. One estimate places this rate at one to one and one-half acres per second; rainforests are disappearing in Bra.& Burma, Indonesia, the Philippines, West Africa and a host of other tropical third world countries. In Madagascar, 95% of areas that were formerly covered by rainforest have been denuded. Why is it a problem? The most frightening aspect of rainforest destruction is the permanence of the change brought on by logging. Rainforests, once destroyed, are gone forever. Rainforest ecosysterns, evolved over thousands of years, cannot be reproduced by reforestation. Fifty to eighty r cent of the earth’s life-forms reside in rainp”orests since it is characteristic of r&forests to support small numbers of many species. This is a radically different system than in northern climates which support large numbers of comparatively fewer species. Rainforests are also home to groups of indigenous forest dwellem that have molded their way of life to the conditions found in rainforests; destroying their habitat usually destroys them, which amounts to &n&de. Globally, rainforests act as a sink for socalled greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. As rainforests are destroyed, less carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere and thus, the greenhouse effect is intensified. Regionally, water transpired from rainforests acts as an agent of heat transfer from humid tropical zones to drier temperate

zones. Thus, rainforests irk equatorial zones moderate weather patterns north and south of the equator. Lmally, rainforests act as a means of ero-

Coca-Cola requires cola nuts, Minute Maid needs oranges, fast-food hamburger chains needs beef, and the rainforests are being destroyed to make way for plantations that provide these products in multinational-size portions. The fra&e soils underlying rainforests quickly reject intensified agriculture and erosion takes over. Forests in South East Asia are being destroyed to supply Japanese and American companies with wood and pulp. The Mitsubishi corporation is considered the worst offender in Sarawak, Malaysia where the Penan Indians have been t@ng desperately to prevent the wholesale destruction of their environment. In response to blockades of logging roads by the Penan, the Malaysian government enactedalaw that made blocking a logging road a offence punishable by imprisonment, thus assuring Mitsubishi’s continud exploitation of the rainforest.

One prime class of industries causing environmental degradation has already been mentioned - the multinational agribusiness. The production levels required. by agribusinessinvariably lead to the use of machinery, yet often soils cannot support the compaction and disturbance that machinery causes. Soils become compacted or broken into fine particles; erosion by water or wind results. World Watch describes the horrors that a Guatemalan woman experienced at the hands of a multinational coffee growing company, “Two of my brothers died in the plantation. The first, he was the eldest, was caLled Felipe . . They’d sprayed the coffee with pesticide by plane while we were working, as they usually did, and my brother couldn’t stand the fumes and died. . . the second one.. . his name was Nicolas . . I died when I was eight.. . he was two then. When my little brother started crying crying crying, my mother didn’t know what to do . . . he lasted fifteen days. . .” The woman’s tale about pesticide spraying graphically illustrates another common destructive practice of industries involved in third world food produdion. Chemicals that have been banned in developed counties, due to the serious ecological and health risks they pose, may not be subject to the same restrictions in third world countries. The I chemicals are used by industries that obtain the cheap stockpiles of the banned chemical, then use them on agribusiness cro@ in third world countries. Ironically, the principal use of 70 percent of the pesticides exported to third world countries is for crops grown for, and exported back to, developed countries. This undermines the protection that banning the chemicals was supposed to provide in the fi$ lace, and supports continued exposure tLd world counm farm workers to l

leaving a third world country ends up discharged into that country’s oceans. Other aspects of oil production that contribute to this problem include: dry docking, oil platforms, leaking tanker filling hoses, and of course, tanker accidents. In addition to oil pollution, another area of concern is the introduction of halogenated hydrocarkxm and heavy metal wastes into the oceti of developing countries. These products “bioaccumulate,” or concentrate in the tissues of

The burgeoning growth of third world cities has created a new type of marine degradation. These cities, faced with rapidly expanding population, oftendischarge untreated sewage directly into the nearest ocean.

Degradation

The marine environment of developing countries around the world is being destroyed for many of the same reasons outlined for industrial pollution. Environmental laws, marine regulations, environmental monitoring; each are ineffectual in dealing with the scope of problems that can be created when wealthy first world companies decide to take a slice of the marine pie.

How Marine

Environments

are Degraded

Much of the degradation that has already occurred in developing countries stems from industrial pollution and over-exploitation of marine resources. Because oceans are treated by many as the ultimate source of waste dilution, untreated effluents and industrial byproducts are routinely discharged into oceans. The oil industry is particularly supportive of this approach. In oil tanker operations, tanker holds are filled with seawater after the oil has been offloa.ded. When the tanker returns to fill up with another load of oil, this seawater is flushed directly into the ocean. It has been estimated that 0.5 percent of every tanker load of oil

plankton, fish, and higher organisms. The latter, of course, includes humans. For the people of third world countries who have traditionally relied on fish as a protein staple, the bioaccumulation of toxics poses a distinct threat. In 1981, the city of Jakarta, Indonesia, had incidents of ‘Minimata Disease,” the common name given to mercury poisoning that results from consuming mercury-tainted fish. The mercury was introduced into the ocean through industrial waste dumping in rivers that drained into the ocean and the poisoning that resulted caused physical disabilities, birth defects, and 13 child deaths.

areas of developing countries. Izge first world hotel chains are prime offenders since these large scale developments also translate into large waste loads being dumped in oceans. The destruction of coral reefs may seem far removed from the concern of first world consumers, however, seveml pra&ces that cause coral reef destruction may be traced to products sold in f&t world stores. The most obvious practice, coral reef mining is supported by anyone: who purchases coral products such as earrings, wind-chimes, and necklaces, “or by purchasers of similar products

Presently, companies in developed countries are accumulating so much toxic waste that safe handling and destruction becomes a pipe-dream. Developed country regulations have becoming so stringent that toxic waste disposal is a regulatory and technological nightmare. With the burgeoning cost of new waste disposal units one solution has been exposed: dumping toxic waste on third world countries. The extent of the problem is massive. A Greenpeace study revealed a list of 115 shipments of toxic waste over the 1986-88 period. The countries of destination included: Mexico, Argentina, Bra& Panama, Uruguay, Morocco, Senegal, Gabon, Guinea Bissau, Djibouti, and Zimbabwe. Why Toxic Wate Exgort Occurs - Companies in the highly regulated developed countries find it much cheaper, and more legally feasible, to export toxic wastes to third world countries than to safely treat the wastes themselves. As an example, Western companies have been offering US $40 per ton of toxic wastes to third world country brokers, while costs ‘back home” vary between US$160 to US$lOOO per ton. Two attempts have been made to restrict such practices. The US Environmental Protection Agency and the

The US government found that it was, in effect, paying for toxic wastes produced by US companies. Although it is difficrult to trace major ‘brandname” companies to practices like toxic waste export, some have come to light. IBM and Hewlett-Packard originally sent metal wastes to Taiwan to be reprocessed and resold.

This incident was ,exposed in 1988. One infamous exporter of toxic wastes was the US-based Colbert brothers organization. Toxic wastes were obtained by the organization from companies such as: Ford, General Motors, Exxon, and DuPont Chemical. The toxic wastes were first relabelled and then offered to third world countries as useful industrial chemicals. The only reason the Colbert brothers were convicted of this practice is that a US government foreign aid organization provided the funding for the

Paradoxically, companies that decide to expand into third world countries can have adverse effects on the country’s economy. The theory behind allowing foreign investment into third world countries is straightforward: labour supplies are typically large, unemployment may be high, and the need for

for&n earnings intense. By producing labour-intensive products for the export market, unemployment shrinks while foreign earnings rise. In reality, however, power rests with the company after it has successfully reoriented the local system to export production. Often prices for the products are held down through exclusive contracts, long-term pricing agreements, or debt-service arrangements. Development aid agencies such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund contribute to regional economic demobilization by insisting that foreign earnings from exports go toward servicing the interest on outstanding national debts. Foreign earnings that may have gone toward local community development instead go toward swelling the financial resources of IMF and the World Bank. Third world countries that have been persuaded to follow the export-driven model of development for cash crops sometimes find themselves in the position of producing more food than ever before; yet losing the ability to be food self-sufficient. A dependency on the vagaries of fluctuating food prices and foreign aid efforts emerges whee none existed before. The country finds itself Iess self-sufficient instead of more. Who contributes to the disruption of third worid economies? Hundreds of examples could serve to illustrate the previous discussion. One company called “Secord,” a subsidiary of US Hanover Brands, established contracts with Guatemalan farmers for exclusive rights to cauliflower and broccoli harvests. The project worked well for all concerned for the first few years and more and more farmers were encouraged to sign the same agreement with Secord. One year, twice the needed amount of these vegetables was produced so the management of the company stopped purchasing from the farmers. However, because the farmers were under contract to sell only to Secorci, they could not sell their excess produce to anyone but the lcal mark& l&ally, prices plummeted and huge amounts simply rotted. l+Uowing this incident conditions for the local economy worsened.

With all of this facing the average student consumer, how cm anyone hope to sleep at night? The typical response for many of us is denial, “Well, every product has some effect on the environment so how can I change that?” The dual answer to the question is consumer education and consumer choice. By reading this article you have begun the proces of consumer education; finding out what products and companies are causing the worst forms of environmental abuse. There are numerous guidebooks that address the connection between first world companies and third world destruction. Some recommended books are: 1) “Global ecology handbook” - Global Tomorrow Coalition 2) “How to make the world a better place, a guide to doing ~CJCKY- Hollander; 3) “The primary source, tropical forests and our future” - Myers; 4) &Bridging the global gap” - Benjamin and Freedman. Another suggested strategy is to follow any of the numerous magazines that regularly comment on companies that have been Iinked to environmental destruction in third world countries. These include: the&w Inter-

national& Multinational Monitor. Buyeutt News, andAsia-Pac@c Environment. These are available at either the WPIRG resource centre in the General Services complex, or the Global Community Centre at 89 King St., Waterloo. With education about company practices in hand, you will be in a prime position to flex your consumer muscle. One obvious way to do this is to boycott the products of companies that are destroying third world environments. In addition, it is also important to let the company know that you are boycotting their product, and to tell them your reasons for the boycott. Many consumers regularly send a simple post card to the boycotted company outlining their position. In that way, the company can act on their complaints tid change to less destructive practices. It has been claimed that a boycott exerts major pressure on a company when only I-2 per cent of sales are affected. In one example, environmentalists from Rainforest Action Network and Friends of the Earth successfully blocked a plan by Coca-Cola to convert thousands of acres of pristine Belize rainforest into orange plantations. As consumers we can refuse to buy furniture made from tropical hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, and teak, unless it can be demonstrated that the wood has been the result of reforestation projects. We can refuse to buy food products grown by multinationals in rainforest-replacing plantations. We can refuse to buy products made by industries that have a poor record of environmenti protection in third world countries. Another ’ moTe positive approach to the use of consumer power is to buy the products of companies that you feel are promoting ecologically sensitive practices. Thus, for

Eat Health Feads, Yum, Yd example, your usual qp of pre-class co&e could be made from coffee beans sold by A2oampy~~~roByal ‘-“’ multi-national brands. Bridgehead supports more equitable pricing policies for third world coffee growers and supports smaller scale, less ecologically damaging coffee growing practices. You can buy this product in the Environmental Studies coffee shop, Ebyto~ food co-op, Waterloo Market, or the Globai Community Centre. You can take the time tosupport the catis of indigenous groups around the world who are hying to preserve their environment and way of tie. The media are very good at publicizinb such causes but lessadept at keeping these causes in the focus of attention; it is up to you to follow up and support these causes when the limelight fades. It is apparent that as we go about our lives, much of our lifestyle contributes to the destruction of the environment and thus, the livelihood of the rest of the world’s population. By supporting companies and products that cause less environmental destruction in third world countries you will send a clear message - a healthy environment is important everywhere in the world, not just your own backyard. Over the coming months, a regular update wiIl provide you, the consumer, with information required for consumer education. As far as possible we will identify products and companies to avoid, and identify ways to incorporate ethical consumer choices with your normal shopping patterns. The next step, the most important step, is up to you - consumer choice.

In almost a mirror image of the recent success of the phenomenal Detroit pistons, the St Francis Xavier K-Men marched into Waterloo to take repeat as Naismith Classic Basketball Champions last weekend at the PAC. But unlike the defensive wizards of Motown, the X-Men defended their crown with an unstoppable inside attack. In this year’s championship tilt, St. F.X. defeated the Winnipeg Wesmen, 81-76. Anchored by tournament MVP

“We didn’t beat anybody and nobody beat us,“summe~ up warrior head coach Don McCrae. “We could have easily won or lost all of our preseason games. It has been that way for us ail along, Great focus and effort was shown by all the Waterloo players in the iournament. It was a surprise for us to see such solid play for three consecutive games. We have set a standard for ourselves which we must maintain.” McCrae and his assistants Tom Keswetter, Tom Schneider, and Mike Kilpatrick were pleased with the play of the big men, especially against Guelph. Waterloo’s opponents gave freshman star Sean VanKoughnett special attention, forcing the scoring attack to the inside. Sophomore sensation Mike Duarte put forth tireless performances at both ends of the

Luckily for Winnipeg, Central African Republic Olympic Team product Richard Bella committed two quick personal fouls and had to be taken out with the game only five minutes old. Winnipeg took a slight lead to the half, 38-35. Bella was back on the court for the second half and to sum it up in one phrase, he put on a 20 minute dunking show. The 6’9,” center drained five dunks, three lay-ups, a jumper, and six free-throws in the second frame to spearhead the X-Men takeover for an 81-76 final score. The top scorer in the game was, you guessed it, Bella with 26 points, going ll-for-14 from the field. Leading the scoring for the Wesmen were John Mathieson and Anderson with 23 and 22 points respectively.

All the action began on Friday, with all four favorites victotious. The Golden Hawks kept their tradition of being bounced in the opening round, losing to St. F-X., 9763.

Saturday night’s championship semi-final matchups included “The Battle of the Big Men.” The highly touted contest between St. F.X. and Guelph was supposed to be the game of the tournament. But unfortunately, the X-Men kept Guelph under control for most of the game, holding Eric Hammond to 11 points. St. F.X burned the Gryphon defence with some easy weak side lay-ups.

Athenas surprise Laurier, sweep Windsor Athena Volleyball by rviichdevimwet Imprintsports The Waterloo women’s volleyball team is back in action for this year after having begun regular season play last week. Unfortunately, the team is relatively inexperienced (again) with only five returning sophomores and six rookies. After a disappointing season in 1989, the more dedicated and cohesive squad this year is hoping to improve last year’s 2-many’ record and are currently l-l. The Athenas have been kept busy with pre-season tournaments held at Brock and laurier. Both proved to be

great learning experiences, but despite admirable performances, the team was not rewarded with much success. These tournaments helped in preparation for Waterloo’s home opener last Wednesday against Wilfrid Laurier. Waterloo came out strongly and took the f@st game decisively. Unfortunately, w :-.Golden Hawks came back more forcefully in the next three games and captured the match in a well-fought battle, That Friday, the Athenas travelled to the south-western border to chalk up their first victory of the young season over the Windsor Lancers. After a long bus trip and long wait before the match, the Waterloo squad overcame a mediocre warm-up and large Windsor home-crowd to win the y&&h in three straight games.

Friday’s win put the Athenas at l-l on the season. It seemed the Windsor team was unprepared for the more polished and strategic Waterloo squad, which the Lancers had narrowly defeated at the Laurier tournament in five games. In the first game, the Athenas demoralized the Lancers, 15-O. The second game follmed an identical pattern, as the Athetis ran away with the game allowing the opponents to accumulate only four points. The third and fmal game proved to be a bit more challenging, but Windsor conceded defeat at 15-11. The Lancers all but rolled over in this match, but that , shouldn’t take away the fact that WE WON!

Remember when you were a kid, there was always one guy on the block who was the neighborhood bully. He would beat up anybody and everybody because he was the biggest and toughest guy in the area. Well, that is how the rest of the OUAA West Volleyball Division must feel about the University of Waterloo ‘Black Plague” Warriors,. the fourth-ranked team in the country.Thesebul.liesknowvolleyballand they are out to prove it early. The Plague began the 1990-91 campaign with victories over Laurier, Windsor, and Brock The increasingly powerful McMaster Marauders are atop the OWAA West at 4-0, while Waterloo sits h a close second at 3-O with one game in hand.

While Jim David opened the scoring for the Warriors on a powerplay goal, the Stingers potted two goals past UW’s James Organ to take the Iead. After David tied the game in the second period, however, the tie was broken again by Concordia at 19:53 on a controversial goal scored while it seemed that they had too many men on the ice. The Warriors knocked all the wind out of the Stingers’ sails by knotting the game six seconds later with only a solitary tick left in the second period. Clark Day scored the tying goal on a tip-in. With the momentum from their late goal, the Warriors controlled the third period. Jeff Ballantyne put Waterloo up for good on a powerplay goal assisted by Clark Day and Steve Schaefer. Day then put the game out of reach with his second goal (and third point) of the game. For the second straight game, the Warriors enjoyed a large margin in shots-ongoal, outshooting the Stingers 4228. The Warriors have two big divisional games this week, last night (Thursday) at Guelph, and Sunday afternoon at 2:3Opm against Windsor in the Columbia Ice Cube. This will be a stem test for the Warriors who still need to deliver on the promise they have shown thus far. Games such as those this past weekend should be dominated by the Warriors (their crosstown rivals, the Laker Golden Ducks crushed the Redmen and Stingers by scores of 9-2 and 83!). If the Warrior personnel can gel like the hair on their GM, the undefeated string should not be broken. Get out and cheer ‘em on!

The Athenas lost a close meet, 103-80, because they couldn’t pull together enough sprinters to challenge Guelph’s highly ranked relays; individually the Athenas were Guelph’s equal. Thk Warriors knew that they were going to have to scrap for every point they could get. Fortunately, this years ta-n is very well balanced and deep. victories came in the 200 fly, Jason hpp; the 200 back, Dave Dineen; and the 500 and 1000 free, Mike Cash. These victories accounted for only 28 of Waterloo’s points. The others were collected by a phalanx of Warriors pouring over the Gryphon rank and file. The race of the meet was the final relay. The teams pitted stud against stud in a race where every Warrior turned in personal best times. Guelph squeaked out an e@ht one hundredths of a second victory in a traditionally have race hey dominated. John Heinbuch and Jeff Slater form a revamped coaching stafE which is enjoying their involvement greatly. Heinbuch-commented on the men’s meet, “the Warriors are targeted for an assault on the team records riot

seen since the seventies. I’m thrilled with their work ethic.” The Athenas knew they had to make good on their superior fitness in the distance events and hope that their stroke swimm ers could pull a few upsets. Sheryl Slater did what She could winning the 500, the 1000 free and the 200 back and she had plenty of support. N&a Scotian transplant Christie Selig scored a victory in the 200 free and posted seconds in the 200 fly and 500 free, both in extremely close races. Kris Jackshaw made her hard work pay off with thirds in the 200 free and the 200 fly, both were inseason best times. Nicole Peters each had a second and a third place finish to round out the Athenas top rankings. As the women’s team prepares for an CWIAA Invitational next week they are confident in their knowledge that this is the bestteam in years. Heinbuch states, “the whole team has been pushing themselves in practice everyday and tonight they reaped the rewards. The intensity on this team is vq exciting to be part of.” Both teams would Like to thank their enthusiastic fans for their suppor& The stands were packed for this exciting event and hopefully all will be back when Queen’s surfs in on December 1.

Magnificent perforniance relieved by the allegro conclusion. The second selection was a more modem experiment by Ruth Crawford (Seeger), 1931. I feel lucky to have experienced this mesmerizing work. The composition starts out vague, but its structure quickly becomes evident. Crawford often uses the quartet as a single complex instrument, passing the dominant themes rapidly from player to player, or sharing a rhythmic or undulating

Schubert’s music is emotional and this performance was nothing short of moving powerful during the allegro and breathtakingly controlled during the adagio. Thankfully, the typically dreary third movement was followed

And ooh, what 2 performance it was. Nudity, women kissing each other, love, betrayal, suicide - what more could highbrow heatergoers ask for? Oh, and singing. 3f course - lots of singing. l7ie Corunatiun of Poppeti is the story of Nero, Emperor of Rome, and his efforts to replace his consort 3ttavia with Poppea, his latest mistress, Nero is obese and slightly xfuddled, easy prey to I’oppea’s machinations. Fewer-hung? (There’s a word to describe Poppea’s zharacter, but out of politentrss, we till simply say that throughout the Dpera, we rarely see the lady outside ler bedchambers.)

intensity. Particularly the sweet Soprano sounds of Irena Welhasch Baerg as Poppea. Like many of Monteverdi’s operas, The Cormration of Poppea features a disturbing suicide scene. It occurs after Foppea turns Nero against his friend and colleague Seneca, and Nero orders Seneca to kilI himself. After Seneca reluctantly complies (yes, you read that right) Nero and a

&uard &u&enly rejoice over Seneca’s body in a highly charged scene. The audience mhs and aahs, maws agape, as the blood and the wine flow like some Biblical body of water (whose q eludes us). Gabielle Prata, *’ woman who played the male role of Chtone, delivered the most outstanding performance. This versatile artist has appeared in L&y Mac&h @ Mtsensk

and Mu&me &dter$ly, to name a few. She is a mezzo-soprano, and boy, : could we tell! Her voice rang true and clear throughout, and because she was cast in a male role, she kissed 1 DrusUla (on the lips!). The music was provided by a tenpiece chamber orchestra consisting of violins, a violoncello, double bass, recorders, lutes and keyboards. Boy, did they sound good! They provided a subtle backdrop that did not distract from the intense caterwauling onstage. All in all, then, a fine evening. Still, we can’t help feeling that in some respects, the old ways are stil1 the best. The program informs us that when The Coronaton of Roppea was written, it was common practice to have certain parts performed by “a male singer who had undergone surgery at puberty to prevent his voice from changing.” What was the nature of this surgery? Well, here’s a hint: such a singer was labelled a “castrata” (ouch). Sadly though, the castrato is a thing of the past, and today we must make do with mezzo-sopanos. Whatever happened to self-sacrifice in the name of art? Oh well . . .

quiet (?!?) local band, the Rhinos are made up of Danny Michel, Michael Blanchard _ Darren Iles and Steve Kendall. They play anything and everything, mostly whistles and things from the guts of pump organs. More seriously they funk their audience in an amazingly fresh and warm style.

The are fun and they are now. They are fie Rhinos. Imprint talked with Dan, Mike, Daxren and their manager Doug and this is what happened.

IMPRINT:

So how’s thejliture

look?

DOUG: The future’s a white sheet right now, but I think you can identify a rhino under a white sheet - they have a very distinctive profile DAN: What? They’re going to print in the article that our future is a white, blank sheet? Doug you can go now. We

were domg fine without you. MIKE: No, we do have a very distinct profile. DOUG: I think up until now the band has basically been regroup&g. In the first few years everybody got together and enjoyed playing together and a descent body of work happened and there was a good repertoire. But the band hasn’t really gigged a lot. I think this is a new challenge. I’d like to see them play universities. I think that’s a gOti venue because 1 think university students are always interested in SW that’s a little off the beaten track And The Rhinos are not just a musical group, they’re a visual group;itslike, we’re having fun, join in. DAN:The party has begun. DOUG:Yeah, join The Rhino party.

IMPRINT: paq?

Isn ‘t there alreudy a Rhino

DOUG: There is, but I don’t think they’d be upset for us using that line.

IMPRINT: Okay. I’m going to ask each member here what you think about music. What place does it have in your liji?? DAN:tts the universal language. It’s passion man, you’ve got to have passion for music. You don’t play music because you wanna, you play it because you have to.

IMPRINT: So if you had a choice, would you remove this obsession fim you lives? DAN: No, its a good obsession. MIKE: Its a very good obsession. DARREN: Listening to music as well as playing it is important. Everyone in the band listens to a lot of music. MIKE: I think music is a good thing. DAN: Music makes people laugh. Its a language thateveryone knows. MIKE: Music brings people together, it gives them a reason to get together. It used to form a function in the community, like the news. Minstrels would would travel around (sings) Well, the King of Oxford county, he’s fucking around on the queen, so she’s got herself a little dildo . . . DAN: In the seventeenth and eighteenth century, music was considered the only real form because when it was finished and done there was no real product. If minstrels came to your town and played, when the show was over that was it, there was no tape, there was no product. Even with a painting they could sell it and that was more of a business thing, music was more . . .

IMPRINT:

Uncummercializti?

DAN: Yes: IMPm: So what do you think about

it now? DAN: We’re trying to make it into a massive product. We’re trying to change that. /

of Love begins to Fade London

Fields

Martin Amis Penguin Books, 470 Pages, $6.95 c

by Paul Done Imprint staff

here is a murderer, there RIFT a murderer, and there is a foil. Everyune is always out there searrchinsfor someune and something, usually for a luvg, usually for love. And this is a iuve story. But the murderee - Nicolu Sti - is looking fur something and someone else: her murderer. She knows the time, she knows the place. she knows the motive, she knows the means, she just doesn’t know the man. l%ere is a jiiil, and there is a murderer. And there I%a murderee. (inside dust cover, London

Fields)

After you’ve read a few books, you start to realize that love/sex isn’t so simple on the page *. . everyone needS it to be more than John Lydon’s “two minutes of squelching.“To Lawrence, it symbolized some mystical connection to the primal rhythms of the Earth; to Miller or Nin, it was an expression of personal freedom; in Harlequin Romances, the act is hextricably linked to the stereotype of ideal romance; in Martin Amis’ Lendon Fields, the sexual impulse is tied into the death throes of our poisoned planet - call itpomasexuality. Sex is a weapon, sex is a lure, but most of all sex - the process of attraction - is deathly. “We haven’t been around for very long, And we’ve turned the earth’s hair white. She seemed to have eternal youth but now she’s ageing awful fast, like an addict, like a waxless candle, JCW.S have you seen her recently? We used to live and die without any sense of the planet getting older, of mother earth getting older, living and dying. We used to live outside history. But now we’re all coterminous. We’re inside history now all right, on its leading edge, with the wind ripping past our ears. Hard to love, when you’re bracing for impact. And maybe love can’t bear it either, and flees all planets when they reach this condition, when they get to the end of their twentieth centuries.“(pl97) With his sixth novel, Condon Fields, Amis has shed the gratuitous, though richly and blackly hum-

ourous, misanthropy which characterized Success and Money in favour of a nuclear love story, one in which the misanthropy is immaculately conceived and executed. He has integrated his fixation upon the inverted phallus of the nuclear mushroom cloud, which defined the short stories in Einstein’s Monsters, into a Iovetiory - one which contains love in all its many-splintered forms. Against a synergistic backdrop of nuclear brinkmanship and darts, Nicola Six (“double three - the hardest on the board”) plays a game of willful self-an&&&ion with her orbiting male satellites, preying upon their basest, loftiest impulses. For her, 35 is the terminal birthday.. . the zero hour.

exchanging homes - pIaces - with Samson. Beyond Nicola and Samson, the main characters include the talentless aspiring darter and accomplished cheat Keith Talent - “the murderer” - and the well-nigh strangled Guy Clinch - “the foil, the foal, the fool.” Do any of the three men love Nicola . - well two think they do . . . in their, own fashions, but they don’t; and one , thinks he doesn’t, . . but he might. The four make a worthy circle no, a cross, a black cross, like the Black Cross (pub) where they met - in their mutual sexual dysfunction; there’s a man who walks around with an unquenched erection, one with an unquenchable erection, and one with no erection at all, And Nicola, dear Nicola, she has a secret that’s too dark

ComplicatingLove and Sex The germ of Lmdm Fields can be found in “The Murderee,” a short which appeared in Granta, Penguin’s quarterly, journal. The fleshier version of the tale unites a host of ennuiridden postmodern themes within an elaborate multi-layered edifice of plot worthy of the Victorians, Amis has deliver4 a novel which has been executed to its fullest. With prose which cuts, caresses, soothes and crackles, London Fields makes the oozing green and yellow pustulated infection of so&corruption a beautiful thing. Amis is a constantly inventive narrator, and London Fields, is a constantly inventive narrative. The fractured structure of the novel creates the constant illusion that the novel is unfolding rzght now - in the thirdperson, narrated by Samson Young, an American author/journalist of very smaI1 renown. The end of each chapter division cont+ins a firstperson address from Samson which colours and fills in blank spaces in the narrative. It becomes more and more evident as the novel unfolds that our narrator is a participant in the action and not the observer which he imagines himself to be. But, love wil! do that. If fact, the unfolding of London Fields shatters the expectation that, in some sense, the narrator is a potent figure.

“wo mangled bodies arrived at the emergency room. The tank shell had literally cut the first body in two. The second had an almost identical injury, but somehow was still alive. I took a quick look at him - a great, gaping hole where his hip bones should be stared up at me, half his intestines lay on the table beside him, and he had received a blow to the head as well. An impossible case, but he refused to die a quick death.” Besieged is the story of how 3,500 men, women and children, over a f&h of whom died or were wound& withstood two years of siege from late 1985 to early 1988 in Beirut’s Shatila Palestinian refugee camp, an enclave the size of two city blocks - about 200 yards square. For three weeks at the height of the siege, artillery, mortars and 40 tanks pounded the camp with 250,000 shells. That is eight shells a minute, every minute, for 21 straight days and nights. There were a number of battles during the siege. The shortest lasted four days, *e longest six months. The book has several pages of photographs, but one depicting the remains of Shatila is, by itself, a testa-

ment to Palestinian determination. It shows nothing but rubble; it is a wonder how a single person survived, let alone defended, this miserable patch of ground. They survived by living underground. The fighters, following Chinese and North Vietnamese techniques, dug tunnels to the perimeter of the camp, where they popped up to repel every advance by the Syrian-controlled Amal militia, the main Lebanese Shi’ite political organization. Women and children lived underground in one of three bomb shelters, the largest being 60 feet by 90 feet, holding 800 people in cramped, unhygienic squalor. Duringthefinalpartofthesiege,35 women gave birth, and there were an additional 85 children less than 1 year old. The camp was in a depression, and Amal snipers, using highvelocity ammunition, shot anyone who strayed into the 0 n - fighters, children, old peep $e and even women who were visibly pregnant. “No birds lived, or even perched in Shatila,“writes Giannou. When there was no gunfire, the only sound at night came from rats searching the rubble. Several people contracted typhoid and everyone was skin and bones by the time Syria and Amal were finally sham4 into calling off the siege. It was not the two city blocks that Syria wanted. It was, says Giannou, “to destroy the symbol of Palestinian resistance.” He subscribes to the view that the most cherished goal of Syria’s Hafez Assad is to gain leadership of the Arab world, and central to that ambition is control of Lebanon and of the PialesOthers would argue that Assad’s actions have been defensive,

He arrived in Shatila in October 1985, during a ceasefire. The camp had already survived one 304ay assault, but the neighbouring refugee camp, Sabra, had f&llen, and Amal militiamen had taken 700 Palestinian prisoners, none of whom were ever seen again In 1976, after a 54-day siege, the Tel el-Zaatar camp in East Beirut, cut off from water, surrendered to the Phalange, the right-wing MaroniteChristianmilitia.AstheRed Cross was evacuatingtheinhabitants, Phalangists descended and slaughtered all the men - about ZSOO of them. Then in 1982, during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon Israeli commanders allowed the Phalange unre$rictedaccesatoSabraandShatilawhere, according to the conservative estimates of Israel’s Kahan Commission of Inquiry, they hacked to death between 700 and 800 men, women and children Faced with such history, no wonder the residents of Shafila fought so tenaciously. Giannou describes their preparations, their setbacks, their ingenuity, their squabbles, their heroism, their agony and their anger with the detached precision of a surgeon - that is what makes this book so compelling. EspeciaUy poignant is Giannou’s account of the assassination of Ali Abu Toq, the Fatah commander and the acknowledged leader in the camp, blown to pieces by a member of a pro-Syrian Palestinian faction that had been fighting Amal alongside him. &si~e&sabookaboutthelifeand death struggle for the ideals of human freedom, justice and equality for the Palestinian people. As Giannw writes “this book is the duty of the living to the dead, but also the duty of the privileged, the free, with Canadian passports to those without rivikge but who maintain, in the % ce of untold danger and suffering. their humanity.” Many people talk of these ideals but few live for them As this book superbly bears witness, Dr. Chris Giannou is one.

However, for the Palestinians of Shatila, it matters little which view is correct; the consequences are the same, Syria is determined that its will shall reign supreme in Lebanon. Giannou is a surgeon and a Canadian, born of Greek-Macedonian parents in Toronto. His heroes, all of them doctors, were Albert Schweitzer, Norman Bethune and Che Cuevara, and he has lived a life to rival theirs. Kicked out of McGill University at the age of 19 for Ieftwing activism, he taught school in Mali, West Africa for a year, and then enrolled in medicine at the University of Algiers, Algeria Three years later, in 1975, he was in Cairo, Egypt to finish his medical degree and to specialize in surgery at the National Cancer Institute. By 1980 he was in Lebanon, working for the Palestinian counterpart of the Red Goss. Since then he has become one of the world’s leading battlefield surgeons.

ture Miller’s Crossing.

That sounds like impressive credentials, but the Coens’ first movie, the arty and empty BloodSims pie, was also showcased at the New York F&n Festival, 3 few years earlier. Their newest venture is a little less arty - the camera doesn’t go nuts, for but it’s still empty. example However, since it belongs to the gangster genre, it seems weightier; it and benefits, philosophically politically, from the association.

We spend most ofMiller’s watching people who never seemed human become slabs of meat. The plot keeps us vigilant, but mostly out of self- . interest; we want to be prepared when the next execrable event occurs.

That doesn’t make the film any less gruesome.

Then Tom is fatale, conscripted by rival ganglord Caspar, and his first job for the new employer is to kill Verna’s brother, sleazeball Bernie. The tangled web of double crosses Tom finds himself ensnared _ in as he staggers about in a nearcannibalistic universe makes for a very complicated plot. Almost every second is taken up with either some act of violence or scheming. There isn’t a lot of time left to care about the characters. Gabriel Byrne, in the lead, spends so much time staring off into space that you keep wanting to get up and find out what he’s looking at. Marcia Gay Harden, as Verna, is wimpy and gives Byrne a run for his money for the most washed-out performance. Jon Polite gives a very energetic portrayal of Caspar, but he seems to be in the wrong picture; with the camera practically licking his beefy, slobbery, asthmatic face, he looks more like one of the deformed villains from Dick

Barry Sonnenfeld, the Coens’ regular director of photography, is deft at making things ugly. The scene where Caspar bangs his henchman over the head with a shovel s6ehs designed to drive you out of the theatre. Meanwhile, the pivoti moment in the film is whenTom takes Bernie out to the woods under orders to “whack” him. The expression on Byrne’s f&ze is so contrived, and editor Michael Miller cuts back to it so often, that any tension is undermined. There’s also a black hat motif, which has been given a substantial amount of press. Symbols are always a little suspicious; surely they ought to evolve organically from the ma&riaL This one sticks out, like the fan in the Coens’first film. The term “pretentious” springs to mind.

.-Vocally, Mike Scott’s voice has matured much like a fine wine, the raspy, cutting edge from the days of This is the Sea, replaced with a mellow, full body, all thanks to the effects of time. To some, this may be disappointing others, a saving grace.

The new Waterboys album is out. Seventeen tracks. Yes, that’s right seventeen. By most standards, that would almost be considered a double album, right?

By the time you hit play on the CD player, and settle yourself into your favourite La-Z-Boy to allow Mike Scott and his troubadours room to roam around your room (say that fast three times!), track ten is about to begin. Stylistically, the Waterboys have pretty much taken up where they left off on Fishemank Blues.

The completeness of the album from its smooth ballads to its powered funk grooves made it one of the best and most successful debut albums in R & B history at the time of its release.

clear voice and tear-jerking lyrics certainly make this an interesting album, but not one I would recommend to the depressed.

by Anita De Rub& This is one fine country album, guaranteed to make you grab your cowboy hat and boots, stomp out the door and yell “Yee-ha”. This album was produced in Scarborough, right in our own backyard, but you would never guess it. It has a distinctive Texan Z& to it. Patricia Conroy’s sweet

cold, damp, and dreary Winter morning. Bar the title track, and perhaps Z%e Natural Bridge Blues, there really are no other tracks I would contemplate programming out. There is however, an annoying little, unrelated, thirty second dit$ that chimes in a full five seconds after The Islandman has ended. Unbelievably, it remains affiliated with that song. Conversely, the end of A Man is in Love flows hand in glove with Kuliape House another short ditty, this time totally related, yet, listed as two separate songs.

It could be me, after all I’m not very familiar with country music but does it always have to be so dog-gone sad? Some of the lyrics from the song “Blue Angel” (“But I’ll pay the price for love/I am giving just to lay here beside you once more”) or from “HOW Many Horses” (“Tell me how many horses must a cowgirl ride/ before she can walk by his side”) give just a taste of the album’s overall theme which is one of lost love. It is a theme which we all can relate to but is it necessary to hear it on every single song? But that’s good old country for you-Yeeha. So 111 wipe my tears now. .and. . teI1 ail you folks to n m go listen to this album now, y near!

On November 22, the “Raggle Taggle Gypsies” will be rambling into Massey Hall, (a venue best left to the sedate likes of David Syivian or Cotteau Twins) but don’t expect to hear more than three or four tracks of the new album. Also, it is interesting to note that Steve Wickham, acknowledged for introducing Mike Scott to the world of Celtic music, has subsequently left the band under a shroud of controversy. Apparently, Mike Scott has once again picked up his old electric guitar in an effort to rediscover the world of rock’n’roll. who knows, pefhaps the next album will find Mike Scott wearing a leather jacket instead of a i&her cap.

A common misconception with McFerrin’s music is that because it does not have a dominating beat or pounding bass that it is classified as easy listening (Said like the words are sliding from your orifice loose and free.) This album is anything but easy. Its polished presentation is deceptive, makes it sound simple-like watching Gretzky play hockey. The melodies, harmonies and rhythms are witty, Iyric and pleasant to the ear. At the same time the soul is cleansed, the mind is aroused. The entire album is based around a pagan Afro/Christian theme which is initiated by the first cut, MedKne Man. It continues through an allusionary song, The Garden, the pensive, tense Sweet in the Momin’ and culminates in the final track, a reworking of the 23rd psalm, perhaps its best treatment, certainly its most beautiful. Listening is not only pleasing but might convert you if you’re not careful. LX artists currently operating few can develop a distinctive style which

Fixing on standard p;ospel barmonies, McFerrin multiplies his voice into a chorus, each blending into what sounds like one man singing, (which of course it is, only in several different harmony lines) discontinuous and always already in rhythm, a rhythm of subtle complexity, drawing on various African rhythms. This influx relaxes the American gospel sound and gives it new presence, a new perspective. But McFerrin isn’t satisfied with only that, so part way in he is joined by his father’s voice, a deep rich timbre textured with age and wisdom. it keeps to a deceptively simple spiritual melody, contrasting the young and moody intonations which McFenin puts into the backgro,und. This younger voice takes over and broods then relents and again the timbered soul feels out for your heart, makes it see the light. Like I said, if you aren’t careful you might be converted. This

is another fine album from one to put along side his others, perhaps not as innovative in an obvious way, yet ingenious in its approach to material which becomes SO cliched in the hands of others.

This outing of the Sisters sees Eldritch playing guitar as well as doing vocals, and not one, but two lead guitarists with an additional guest guitarist and a bassist. The result, as might be expected from the line up, is a mesh of songs drenched in he&y guitar.

It becomes clear thatthe Sisters of Mercy I used to know, have been completely replaced, right down to their gothic roots: At first the thought of a non-gothic Sisters of Mercy is hard to swallow, and the subconscious search for gothic elements in the album beg&. Unfortunately, only a few are found. That is not to say that the album on a whole is bad, it is merely different. Every track, except the opening one, “Vision Thing” has something to its credit, and each track, except the closing one, “I Was Wrong” has its failings.

TRAVEL CUTS University Shops Plaza 170 University Ave W. Waterloo, N2L 3E9 (519) 8864400

If you can survive the first track, or better yet, skip it completely, you are onto better fields (or should I say floodlands). The second track, “Rib bans,” opens with the cherished and familiar beat of Doktor Avalanche. Visions of Sisters past glories rise up in me. Unfortunately, although this song has the feel of the Sisters last albumFZoo&nd, it fails to evolve past the first thirty seconds and basically coasts for over six minutes. With the last half of the song splintered by Eldritch continually screaming ‘Incoming!‘* “Ribbons,” like ‘When You’re Not Here” and “Doctor Jeep,” show the unrealized potential of this album. These songs need only a bit more focus and, although I hate to be nasty, better guitarists. The strengths of the Sisters of Mercy have arguably been the dark hypnotic guitar work, Eldritch’s excellent songwriting and of course, Eldritch’s atmospheric voice. The hypnotic guitar is absolutely nowhere to be seen on this album. Lyrically, most of the album is good, although not the calibre we have come to expect from the Sisters. Very little can be said in favour of the inept lyrics on the title track and the advance single “More,” but most of the album is interesting if, unfortunately, uninspired. Eldritch spent the last album exploring the apocalypse, he spends this album exploring three topics. The first is human confusion; “God knows everybody needs a hand in their

decision/some of us are not so sure,” another is war; “I Iike Cal and his dog ’ Napalm/I Iike Ike and his itty-bitty Afl bomb/ everybody got one, I want 1mine,” and the last is biting cvnicism ; “pain looks greatOn olhuer’peoplej that’s what they’re for.” The really surprising fault here is the apparent lack of voice control that Eldritch seems to have in a few spots. There is a noticeable strain for him to keep up with the heavier feel of “Vision Thing” and “Detonation Boulevard”. The addition of a female backing vocalist, again hints at what this album could have been, had her contribution been more thought out As it turns out her voice adds to some songs such as “Doctor Jeep,“and det-

Rdy returning for the next outing. but one can hope. How do I give an overall description of this album? I’m not sure. Is it a transitional album? In that case I would hate to think what the Sisters would look like when the transition finished. Personally I would prefer to call it an experimental album. I am arguing over words, I know, but at least this description leaves me with the hope that Eldritch will realize the flaws and restore the Sisters to their former glory. I must say that the last album Floodland left me feeling that the Sisters were going for a more pop orientated approachable sound. For all its faults, at least VLS~+OPI 7%ing can definitely not be described as a more approachable project.

E(c)Eect(i)icGoth Rock racts from others, the most obvious of which is ‘More”. If YOU are looking for the gothic feel in this album, the best songs to look to, are the slower tracks “Something Fast” and “I Was Wrong” the latter being the showpiece of the album. In these songs, Eldritch uses his greatest asset, his voice, to the best of his ability. The most surprising aspect is that Eldritch shares the chorus of “Something Fast” with the backing vocalist and their voices work well together. With the Sisters undergoing Dersonnel changes everv album it is h0ubtfu.l that & will ‘see Maggie

This may be the album I have been waiting for for almost three years, but it certainly is not the album I have been hoping for for three years. The trailblazers of goth seem to be a little confused, and, well, so am I. Vision Thing leaves me with some strange feelings. Am I starting to like it simply because it is The Sisters of Mercy? Or is it actually a god album and I find it disappointing because I don’t Iike change? No, that is not it. Both Fkst and m and Always, and Floodland are among my all time favorite albums, and I’m afraid V+%ion Thing will never be a favorite of mine, no matter how much I learn to like it,
