Emergencyelection

HAM* to hostilities f by Paul Done Imprint staff A long. drawn-out lobbying campaign protesting the removal of the “al t.*” has finally newsgroups resulted in what John Vellinga terms a “surprise” and a “victory.” Last week, Vice-President Academic and provost Alan George announced the restoration of the “alt?” newsgroups, with the exception of the “aksex” tree. Further, he announced the formation of the Advisory Committee to the Associate Provost, Computing & Information Systems on Network News.

Administration ‘&zveirt to our demands” According to the formation document of the Committee, its Terms of Reference are to “present a clear statement of principles vis u vls responsible use of University resources to support newsgroups” and to “review the contents of each newsgroup (including alt* which are currently not supported) and make recommendations on whether it is appropriate for University resqurces to be used to distribute, store, read, prepare and submit articles belonging to that newsgroup.” The Advisory Committee will be composed of eight members, selected as follows: three faculty members, one of whom will chair; one staff member; one member from UCC; one graduate student and one undergraduate student; and finally, one more resource person to act as a technical advisor to the Committee. While it was surprising to Vellinga that the Administration”gave in to all our demands,” he feels that it is credit

to the solidarity that the students displayed, and their unwillingness to forget about the issue. “(The administration) underestimated the amount of political weight students were willing to bring to bear on this issue. Once the political weight of all the societies and the Federation had been assembled, the administration took notice.” In the future, students must monitor the actions of the Advisory Committee to make sure that it remains a “valid way to express opinions.” The outcome of this series of events has made it clear what the original motivation was, SYS VeIlinga. The fact that the “altsex” tree has not been restored is evidence that the Administration removed the “alt.*“family of newsgroups simply to censor the objectionable subset of groups. “Our argument was always with the method by which the groups were removed,” he said. “Debate will now continue about the actions of censorship. Our primary goal has been achieved.” As stated in the background section of the formation document, the possible ethical ramifications of newsgroups are primary in the responsibilities of the Committee: “. . . newsgroups can contain articles which may be objectionable to members of the University community a concern vb a vis Policy 33 on Ethical Behatiour.”

Learned the lesson John hopes that students have learned the lesson that “they should not give up or &ve in” when dealing with the Administration, that if they “make their arguments forceful and convincing and use strong tactics,” disagreements with Administration do not have to end in failure.

by P&r Brown rmpriikt staff In a hastily called emergency election, students in the Mathematics Faculty selected their Mathematics Society executive last week for the spring 1991 term. Harish Pawagi, Markus Baumann, and Kevin Boyes won the positions of president, vicepresident, and treasurer respectively (Baumann was acclaimed.). MathSoc was forced to call the second vote in two weeks after the resignation of its Election Committee, whose members felt that the Math% Council’s overturning of an EC decision indicated a lack of confidence. ‘We believe that you have overturned our decisions on spurious grounds, and are extremely offended,“said Doug Hopkins and the rest of the Committee in their letter of resignation to the MathSoc Council. Hopkins had been the Chief Re@nine: Officer.

Klwlatiorzs of campaignpolicy This resignation came after an appeal by Seema Wadhwa, one of the candidates for president, who had been disqualified by the EC for six violations of the campaign policy. After five such fines, the EC has the obligation to disqualify any candidate, but Wadhwa pleaded innocence on three of the convictions.

At an all-candidates meeting after the closing of nominations, the Election Committee and all of the candidates agreed to the specific campaign rules, including the one about disqualification after five offenses. Wadhwa clainis that at the time of the removal of her name from the ballot, she was aware of only one violation for which she received a he: the placing of posters on a painted door. On the night of Wednesday, November 7, and into the morning of Thursday, November 8, the day that voting was to begin, the EC deliberated for four hours about Wadhwa’s candidacy.

“They (the EC) called me at Zam and told me that I had five more fines, and so I was struck off the baIlot,“she said. “And some of the fines were like two for the price of one. First, I was lined for a computer posting I didn’t know about, and then fined because it wasn’t off of the system before mid-

Statements

considered slan&mus These additional violations included placing posters on a varnished door, which she denies, and two postings on computer network “uw.general” that discussed the candidates for the election. The first posting, by Kivi Shapiro, contained statements about three of the other candidates which “were considered slanderous” by the EC, according to present CR0 Jeffrey Hornby. “I had no idea that the posting was on the system,” responded Wadhwa. “How can I be held accountable for something written by someone else that I had no knowledge of?’ A second online posting written by Jason Rochon in support of Wadhwa’s campaign was written and placed onto the system with her knowledge, resulting in another fine from the EC. She also received fines for the two articles being left on the system after the campaigning deadline. Following Wadhwa’s name being removed from the ballot on Thursday, November 8, Hopkins, Hornby, MathSoc President Tom

Vandekw consistentlyuppsed EC actions Vandeloo, and Council Speaker Janine Graham met to discuss the calling of an emergency MathSoc meeting for that evening. The MathSoc constitution requires 48 hours notice or agreement of all voting members of Council for such a meeting and not alI voting members could be contacted. Thus, the issue

had to be deferred until the regul;iI weekIy Council meeting on Monday, November 12. It was at this meeting that Wadhwa’s appeal was heard and her name reinstated on the ballot. Immediately afterward, the EC submitted their letter of resignation. “I believe that the EC acted properly,” said Hopkins. He admitted that the disqualification of Wadhwa was not necessarily fair to her, bul that fairness to everyone involved must be the first consideration. In defense of the EC’s fines for the computer postings, Hopkins cited the “Clean Campaign Rules” adopted al the all-candidates meeting, which allow that “A candidate may be responsible for the remarks made by supporters at the discretion of the EC.” Hopkins was also displeased with Vandeloo’s handling of the November 12 Council meeting in which Wadhwa’s appeal was heard. “AfteI we had disqualified Seema, he assured us that he would support OUI position because we were the dull appointed Election Committee,’ Hopkins said. A letter to Vandeloo from Hopkin: and fellow. EC member Dave Wei states that Hopkins had receivec assurances that Vandeloo “supportec the position of the Election Commit* tee, since (Vandeloo) felt that the pre, sident, as a professional, should support his duly appointed officers.’ At that meeting, Hopkins claims, Vandeloo “consistently opposed the actions the EC used to support iti position.”

When it comes to people who are physically challenged, the University of Waterloo has a long history of being a “user-friendly” campus. In fact, IAN is co*idered to be one of the most physically accessible universities in Canada. As far back as the 1950s and 196Os, UW took steps to try to accommodate students with disabilities. Wheelchair ramps to buildings have been in existence for more than 20 years. The UW residence was built in 1965 and accommodations for the physically challenged were constructed soon afterwards. ‘T.JVV made a commitment years ago to assist students to get an education - before it became fishionable or legislated,” says Florence Thomlison, coordinator of services for students with disabilities. The university recognized the need for support long before there were any grants provided by the Ontario government, (which began only last year),” she says. As well, over the years UW has been spendiig between $15,000 and $20,000 a year to improve facilities for the disabled. Since UW, at 33 years, is relatively young university, its buildings were constructed in an architectural era that lent itself more easily to adapwould provide tations that accessibility. In fact,every building on UW campus is accessible and it is a ~olicv to “never denv a student a has&” even when it keant moving

classes from upper flo&s of a building without an elevator. An&her example of UW’S Commitment was the establishment almost seven years ago of the co-ordinator’s position The mandate of the office is to provide assistance to individual disabled students, faculty, staff and campus users to “assure -them equal access to programs, servces and facilities.” Universities that didn’t put any money into accessibility in *the pa& are now “playing catch up,” while UW moves ahead in providing more facilities and acc$ring special devices to aid students. Of the $4 million in provincial grants available to 21 Ontario universities to provide special services for the disabled, UW will receive $300,000 a year. Thomlkon finds th& each year there is a big increase in the number of students who register with her office as being disabled. This fall term there are more than 70 additional studenk, compared with 33 newcomers a year ago. This pushed the total to more than 200 self-identified disabled students taking classes, while in 1984 there were-about 38 students. There are probably many more studenk with disabilities who haven’t registered because they feel they can get by without any ~assistance from the office, she says. It is acknowledged that although some provisions were made years ago, students with special needs acquired their degrees with a great

For someone with a disability, selecting a program is not just based on the program or the location. It involve5 research into the support services that are available to them, Thomlison says. ,An innovative 24-hour attendant-

Note-takers are provided, lectures are tape recorded, and many of the students arrange to write their exams in the disabled services office where people are available to assist with their needs. Last term, 150 exams some of them oral, others recorded and some by computer - were taken there. Correspondence courses, which have traditionally been on audie cassettes, are being transcribed into w&en form for the hearing impaired. Thomlison praises the faculty for “a willingness to go out of their way to assist and take a special interest in these students.” Entrance requirements are not altered for the disabled, and Thomlison says she gets “irked by eople who think they are getting a iitreak, because they’re not” Thomlison says, however, that she has the ‘best students on campus they’re UW students first, and students with a disability second.” Many disabled students are successful in obtaining work-term employment through UW% cooperative education program. Employers actively recruit qualified students and graduates who have a disability because they realize they’re capable of doing a good job, Thomlison says. We want to assist the disabled student to study independently and accommodate their disabilities in order to “give them the same advantages as other students - then they’re on their 0~” Thomlison says. As a result, this assistance provides the university experience for students who are academically capable but have been unable tp live away from a home environment because of their disabilities.

Helping to make it all work is a large volunteer group made up of both studentsand staff members who give their time to do such things as reading texts on tape for the visually impaired and assisting them to get around. They also help with such things as homework, the setting up of computers, taking lecture notes and even doing the laundry and errands. ‘The volunte&s are learning valudeveloping able skills and friendships as a result,” Thomlison says. Without the volunteers and someone taking an interest, a university campus “can be a pretty lonely place for a blind student.” Since most learning is oral in nature, there are some special devices in use at UW to assist the hearing impaired. These include personal FM hearing devices in which the professor wears a microphone and the students listen through a receptor and their hearing aid. In residence, there are devices to turn on a light if someone is at the door and special telephones with a keyboard to type in and receive messages. Sign language interpreters are working in classes with some

‘To land at a university is a shock for any student but it’s really gratifying to see how those with disabilities grow,” she says. At last spring’s convocation, there were 12 students with variety of disabilities who baduated. ‘These initiatives show the commitment, not only by the university administration, but aIso the caring attitude on campus,” Thomlison says.

asked questions and on topics as wideranging as the role of the student in financial support for academics to the brass tacks of loan payments on the building’s mortgage. The forum turned uncomfortable for a moment as a handful of students asked questions which Vellinga and Sliwinski felt they had already answered, causing both students and the executive members to briefly lose their cools. made comments

A time for reflecti-on )n page 13 of this issue, our annual Iders’ Survey is printid. I hope that you I take the opportunity to fill in this survey I give us feedback on the kind of job that t feel we have been doing as a newspaper. he past, action undertaken as a result of ders’ responses included the initiation of Science and Technology s&tidn, to name one example. Vhen you look back on a term’s work (or two terms’, in this case), you always hope t you will b&able ta* l&k upon your wo@k h pride and confidence. Unfortunately, I ’ I’t feel quite so confident about our posit as we print this survey. Several issues represented us with great challenges so far ; year, home we have met head-on and Idled quite successfully, while others we re perhaps not dealt with so well. dically, I speak of the issue of the Student z Building Referendum. #bile we began covering the issue quite ly on, and devoted weekly coverage to ny facets of the issue, a couple of instances )wed Imprint’s, and more specifically my igment to be less than adequate. Last week, ran an editorial entitled, “SLB: it just won’t “While the tone and sentiment of the piece re sincere, simply put, the editorial conled factual errors. Despite the fact that the ors were based upon honest misinterstation of information presented by YES nmittee members Jphn Vellinga and Tess winski, the errors were nonetheless unparnable. While I do not want to arrogantly overeslate the effect that Imprint has upon cams opinion, I feel that, in some small sense, print contributed to the unseemly and tty bickering which characterized the last rek of this referendum. In attending the urns, and being exposed to the general rel of student ignorance about the Building, uestion whether we did enough. Whatever the outcome of the referendum, I ologize to all students, whether for or ainst the proposal, for the misrepresenions in last week’s editorial. If our coverage 1s not sufficient, I hope that campus lderstands that this referendum was as lch a learning experience for Imprint as it

was for the Federation of Students and the student body.

soul-searching

when

things

seem

Last night at the Bombshelter, the results of the Student Life Building referendum were revealed to an expectant audience, and regardless of the outcome, I now feel it necessary to discuss actions of students campaigning against the proposal, actions whose effects are difficult to measure. My major pastime over the past few weeks has been criticizing the handling of this referendum by the Federation of Students. Many students, including the editors of the Iron Warrior and the Turnkeys making up the “TJnofficial NO Side,” have seized upon these issues of process in their railing against the proposal, But in the interests of fairness, I must mention abuses of process by some of the NO forces. I’m talking specifically about the Engineering Society’s decision to begin approving the posting of “Vote NO” flyers in the Engineering buildings a few days before the voting opened Wednesday morning. I’m also talking about the actions of specific Engineering students who saw fit to subvert the democratic process by plastering hallways with posters and badgering waiting voters to “Just vote NO.” Don’t get me wrong; I am happy to see the grassroots organization of the engineering students rev into action to motivate and inform students, and above all, t& get them to the polls. No outcome could be worse for this referendum than low turnout, making it impossible to draw conclusions abuut the will of the student body. But the tactics and behaviour of a handful of engineering students reported by Chief

RetUming officer Chris Burcsik show a simply ludicrous ignorance of the most basic principles of electioneering primarily that all campaigning must cease on the days that voting takes place. Burcsik told Imprint that not only were students posting campaign materials on Wednesday, but at least one student was seen pestering people waiting in line to vote. Some of the students supporting the NO side would probably argue that such tactics were necessary to make up for the huge headstart supposedly given the YES side by the Feds. I disagree. The most important of the issues had been sufficiently aired in Imprint and at the two open forums that neither wallpapering of engineering buildings nor browbeating of fellow students were truly necessary. The more legalistic and pragmatic of these students would likely say that as private individuals, they were not under any referendum policy constraints. Again, I disagree. These students should have felt some tug of democratic process slowing their enthusiasm for dogmatism. Regardless of who started campaigning when, there is no excuse for sticking posters to walls knowing that the CR0 is following you tearing them down; there is no excuse for leaving slogans on lawns that you know will last well past the voting period; and there is simply no excuse for attempting to influence voters at the polling booth.

WOIlg.

By all means, please fill in the survey, give us feedback, good or bad, and help us to become a better, more representative paper.

Quest for _Canadian identity he death of Hugh MacLennan last week dened me more than I would normally be en a literary figure passes away. Although _ Lknown since late summer that he was in ;pital, severely ill, his departure was noneless a loss that pulled at my heart. this past summer I was on a work-term in bntreal, during the Meech Lake debacle and Oka crisis, reflecting on the state of nada, Globe and Mail in hand, CBC Radio ny ear. Growing up in Ontario, I knew that re were shortcomings in my understandof the francophonepsyche. Where could I n to so I could get a feeling of the frustraI that was so evident in the local French dia? t seemed natural to read, 7ii Soiituab, a fel written by MacLennan 45 years ago. I oyed the book immensely, not just ause it seemed topical, but because it bught out some beautiful insights about the ure of love and understanding, respect and mnce, and the ingredients needed for th building of a young nation. A coming of !scFtospeak it the same time, I found MacLennan’s w of the Quebecois somewhat naive in the It of Duplessiss, the Silent Revolution, the

October Crisis, and Sovereignty Association, How could an English-speaking writer from Nova Scotia f@y comprehend the ,francophone character, I asked? How could he truthfully portray them without slipping into stereotypes aqd cliches? But, I realized it did not matter so much as it was his attempt to bridge the gap between the two dominant cultures that aspired to build Canada. The word “solitude” that he has been credited with coining has become fixed as meaning complete iMarion. However, some commentators have tried to remedy that by stating that MacLennan wanted solitude to reflect cultures and people that both try to remain intact and at the same time share and work together-to form a diverse entity* MacLennan wrote in Maclean’s magazine

in 1971, ‘ldid not, uf course. ‘invent’ tClephrase Iwo S&L&S. ‘It comes&m a sentenceof Rat&r Maria Rilke, and Istill think it is one of tJTesupreme poetic utterances uf our century, though actually it was a lineufprvse in a letter to afiend *.. ‘Love consists of thb, that two sob& p?v&rt and touch and greer each other ’ Suply the be+rtpmctical dt$nitbn af love ever uttered, whether appiied to individual or to two nations sharing a single state. ”

So, maybe I should become used to the thought that these troubled times are actually good for Canada. Maybe we need the navel gazing. Canada’s history is unique from any other country in the world Even though our coming to existence as a nation drew no blood, I really believe Canada was born on the Plains of Abraham. The motto on the car licence plates in Quebec read: Je me soui~z2n.s. Quebeckers will never forget. That for them is how they define their existence. They continually question who they are. But I think maybe everyone in Camda should continually ask these things+, We must always questiori and probe through our art and literature and our academic endeavor. A nation that stops asking these questions, MacLRnnan mused, is a dead nation. At the same time we must not let empty rhetoric from a few closed minded individuals or city councils to obscure the real quest for Canadian identity. A session on Keith Spicer’s couch is a start but it won’t solve all the questiOn?L

battlefied To the editi, When USJ3 was first criticized for implementing d&&minatory hiring practices, little did we know that Imp&t’s F0rum sectionwasabouttobetran&mnedintoa battldeid. We have thoroughly enjoyed obseming the defenders qf humanrightsdismantle the USET supporters’arguments and we just couldn’t resist delivering the coup de grace* Thank to M. Gallant’s &tile whimpering the USET supporters motives have come to lighh They are only interested in validating their own selfish desires rather than the common good of the entire campus. Argu@ that “OSAP is a REQUIREMENT” is simply preterous. Since when did finand need cz ome a job -cation? You probably think that we don’t require employment because we’re not OSAP students. Think again The primary reason why we, and many other students, declined OSAP is pride. We sacrifice our summers and our free time to work rather than rely on the government for handouts. Pride is a &re virhe that the govemmeni should be trying to promote. Instead they encourage the abuse of these programs by denying opportunities to hard-working students. What makes you so special? It is clear that the Ontario Work Study Program and OSAP are two very different pre grams and should be treated as such when it comes to applications. The OSAP requirement is a discriminatory measure that was implemented because f&r alternatives were noi properly evaluated. As students of economics, etiuring that funding goes to the most needy is a relatively simple. By reducing

the outrageous wage rate ($9/hr) to the current average wage level-($&7/hr), the demand for positions would significantly decrease as the less needy would seek fmancial alternatives. Thisapproach would also reduce Costs - allowing more students to be w and the extension of hours of operation, thereby ben&tting .both students and employees alike. The contiuatiwti such unabashed di+ criminatory hiring p&ices will (and has) resulted in the alienati~ of students and ultimately, the failure of the program

ridicuious. The problem becomes even more siwnt when you multiply the number of pages wasted by the numbr of floors/houses that received them.

Big deal - we11 just put up another. So you defaced our cartoon. Boy, youmust be really insecure if a littlebitty cartoon bugs you By the way, asshole, “faggots” iSS ed with an “o”, not an “i.” Pace it: we’re not going to go away because some insecu~ bozo marks up our door. Another w there’s many a lesbian in GLLOW - they aren’t faggots, in case you weren’t aware. What possible, mtional point wereyoutryingtomake?0risthattoomuch toexpectfromyou? Get used to it: gay men and lesbians are here to stay. So tear down our posters. We’ll still be here. We can’t stop you, but we will put up more posters. Do what you will; well still be here. You can’t get rid of us and we are NOT going to go away. So let’s make a deal: you go and wallow in your insecurities and bigotry and leave us alone, ‘and we’ll sit back and pity you from afar. Kind of a ‘Iive-and-let-wallow” arrangement. OK?

Reduce, Reuse Recycle a To the editor, An open letter to the Feds: As a don in the Village Residences, I am regularly handed posters to hang up for the benefit of the residents. While I recognize the value of many of these posters, I feel that quite a few of them are not only unnecessary, but are redundant and a waste of paper. Specifically, I am referring to a stack of posters that I received yesterday dealing with the upcoming Student Me Building Referendum. Instead of listing all the polKng stations on one sheet of paper, a stack of eight papers was used. These consisted of seperate papers for most of the different faculties, as well as two pages once again restating the importance of the referendum. I realize that this is a very important issue, and that student participation is necessary, but I think that the waste of paper is

Universities were originally designed to be places of progressive, critical thought, Imprint &lling the Movement a’cult is an opportunity for students to enhance these &inking skills in a practical situation. To what extent is Imprint responsible for its articles? I urge students to consider the possibility that Imprint has higher ptiorities than informing readers of the facts, and that reporter John Hagey has personal or pr* fessional interests in creating sensationalism.

tively in bed in a magazine advertisement for sheets exactly eight years to the day after she was raped on a New York City street. It was at this point that she decided to quit mod+@. Simonton’s primary focus of attack is the propagation of violence against women in the media. This subject has gained prominence recently because of apparent increases in the number of rapes and assaults of women, especially last year‘s murder of 14 women in Montreal. This massacre had a tremendous impact on many people and led ,not only to action within women’s groups, but within the male community as well. As an example, we can point to the formation of the Toronto group Men Against Violence. Here on the LJW campus, the implementation of the University Student Escort Team program is a reflection of the growing concern about violence everywhereThe sad fact is that women - and in some cases men - don’t feel safe walking home on campus at ni@.

.negutive imagesof women in the media, ” l

Simonton says that negative images of women in the media begin to act at the very basic level of obje tifying women, Step one in&e process involves making women part of a product Often in commercials, a womanwillbeshownaspa?tofthe benefits package of buying a product, It is implied that if you buy the beer or the car, the woman comes with it. The woman.& n0 longer a person but’a bonus that comes along with the purchase. Women arealso objectified when they are displayed piece by piece, implying that they are to be

judged as a collection of parts and not as a whole. The second step relates to women’s perceptions of themselves. When women see images over and over again in which they are objectifed, some of these images are internaIized. For some women, these images remain in their psyches as acceptable ima@s of themselves. Once women aclept these images of themselves, ther& are no bowidaries to what seemingly can be done to thgir bodies. Women are shown enjoying abuse, beii degraded and humiliated. In their mul lives, the Iine between the media image and reality Incomes blurred. Some women begin to imitate their media image, believing it to be glamourous. They learn, through the,media, to be victims of abuse. The w&@d idea that a woman asks to be abused comes from the mouths of p@ple who believe in the gospel of these images. Some blatantly violent images of women can be seen inmagazines like R~~thotrse and HL&r. One picture in Admuse showed a woman with her heel stuck into her vagina, This image gives the impression that the woman being portrayed is enjoying this kind of action and legitimizes this kind of activity. Another glamorization of violence can be seen in an elevenpage spread inHustler which featured a woman being gang-raped on a pool table. This mixture of sex and violence is truly harmful. Other image that are more playful but also potentially ham&l, are whip-andchain type images. Once women be* to mimic their media images they become a part of the media. Ann Simonton stresses that what she tries to do is make people more criticalofthemediaimagestheyview~ She is not, she says, anti-nudity or anti-sex; instead, she would like to see a more balanced media image 05 women, one in which women are not always pIaying the typical roles of manipulator, seductress, and hysteric. Simonton says that some images of women playing a victim are obviously justified because this is part of reality. However, women should also be shown in more positive leadership roles that focus on stronger qualities. Women need to set and clarijl boundaries within the media around what constitutes acceptable images of themselves.

A new fuse in,Soviet politics?

CUSTOM

It looks as though the student factor, until recently barely noticeable in Soviet domestic policy, may be&me an explosive and unpredictable element in the development of crisis situations in the USSR, On November 1, the Russian Federation formally embarked on a . market economy, thus challenging the slower pace of the centre. On the same day, a group of students was allowed into the Kremlin to meet with M&hail Gorbachev. Seen against the background of the transition to a market economy, which raises social tensions over the expected price growth and an upsurge in unemployment, the entry of Soviet students into big time politics looks very significant. It was students who provided the explosive material that blew UP to&arian regimes in East Europeah countries. Everyone remembers the events in China in Tienanmen.

away in history oneran recall student unrest in France in 1968, which then swept over the whole of Western Europe. The meeting between the Soviet president and student representatives is an indicator that authorities see the significance of that factor. At the same time, one must concede that, like in many other spheres of politics, the centre has been a bit slow in this matter too. And the recent conversation 6f Gorbachev with students is like a hasty action to catch up with events which are already getting out of control The point is that a group of 50 studenb staged a hunger strike outside the Kremlin on November 1. And although the official TASS News Agency hastened to deny any connection between the president’s meeting with some students and that “unauthorized hunger strike,” the link between these two occurrences is apparent. It may be recalled that recent student demonstrations in Kiev, the first to show the scale of possible student political weight, led to the resignation of the Ukrainian premier. The speed with which the Ukrainian parliament met students’ demands is evidence that authorities are aware of the possible consequen-

ces of a long confrontation tith them. The current hunger strike of a group of Moscow students has been a direct outcome of the events in Kiev. In this connection, the political sterility of Gorbachev’s meeting with 4he students is surprising. Mainly everyday and social matters were raised at it. It is beyond question that students are one of the most neglected and least protected groups of the population. Nevertheless, to confine the discussion to hostels, canteens, stipends, and job placement at a time when hunger-striking students near the Kremlin walls advance clearly political slogans and demands - in particular, that the government resign, that Communist party property be nationalized, and that universities .. and the army be depoliticized - appears to me to be a dangerous caution. A clear attempt to simplify student demands politically may only worsen the situation. Student leaders believe that a constructive dialogue between students and the president is necessary and possible, but only if it covers the entire range of accumulated issues, including political ones. The last meeting, unfortunately, showed that there was no place for big politics in that dialogue as yet. That let slip a good chance for pre-emptive frankness. The impression is gathered that the country’s leadership has already felt the cracking of the fuse and found it necessary to “react” to it, but does not seem to have assessed fully the menacing experience of student politicization in East European countries. There has been a growing awareness in the coj@ry of the ned to refr&n tiom extreme protests, large demonstratio~~and strikes. Some of @te left+4ng.+@cal leaders whd but six months ago willingly paraded their ability to get hundreds of thousnds of people into the streets are also coming to see the danger of uncontrolled anger. Today, everyone - hardliners, centrists, and radicals - understands the perniciousness of big striks or any other forms of social explosion. But against the backdrop of early signs of consolidation and calming of political passions, there stilI runs the danger of spontaneous political outbursts as a result of general destabilization and an extremely sensitive situation. In such a situation, students may play the fateful role of a fuse. The student hungerstrike staged in Moscow, seen in this light, might have hard-topredict consequences in spite of the meeting with the p&dent. P+iw

All about embryology, in the Qu’ran by Dianne Al&ndez specialtohngrint Muslim religious book the @‘ran contains remarkable information about embryology just recently discovered in modern day science, claims Dr. Keith Moore, a Professor of Anatomy at the University of Toronto. In his seminar and slide presentation entitled “A Scientist’s Interpretation of Embryology in the Qu’ran” on Thursday, November 15, Moore interpreted various verses in the Qu’ran, explaining in each case how it describes scientific facts about the way in which human life develops after conception, facts we’ve only just discovered in this century. If his interpretations are correct, it will provide the Muslim religion with strong evidence affmn@ the validity of the Qulran. When the Qu’ran was written in approximately 600 AD, very little was known about embryology as it was virtually impossible to see the microscopic embryo with the naked eye. This ignorance continued until the invention of the microscope in the 17th century when the study of embryology began to flourish. As embryos could be neither seen nor studied at the -time of writing Dr. Moore’s findings in the Qu’ran are all the more convincing. One of the verse Moore interpreted is “He (Allah) makes you in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of ClaAlWSS...” (Surah 39:6). The stages mentioned in the verse are what modern scientists refer to as horizons and were not discovered until the 1920’s, says Moore. The three veils of darkness are the membranes which cover the embryo, namely the abdominal wall, the uterine wall, and the placenta with its chlorionoamniotic membranes. Another quite remarkable example is ‘*He created a new individual from a nutfah and immediately planned or programmed him” (Surah Abasa, 19). Moore interpreted the nuti to be the zygote or original human celland the program to be the determination of the zygote’s traits as expressed in the chromosomes of the DNA, a discovery that had not been made until 1959. An obvious criticism to these findings is that many of the verses are somewhat ambiguous and can therefore be interpreted to prove many different theories An example is this verse:Then we change ihe leech-like stru&re (zygote) in a chewed like ?h.hstance.” Moore arguedthatth&mbryoatthisstagein development &es in fact amble a chewed-liked substance, for instance apieceofgum,andprovided@tures to illustrate his point. The f&t is, however, that almost anything ccndd

be made to resemble a chewed-like substance, and thus very little is proVfXL

When asked whether anything could be determined by studying the @‘ran that embryologists don’t already know in their science, Moore confessed that nothing cotlMete has been discovered as of yet Considering the amount of information he claims the Qukan to contain, it is surthat it has been of no predictive value to embryologists. Regadess of the apparent ambiguity of the vem and other such criticisms of Dr. Moore’s interpretations, the fact remains that much ofwhatheclaimsisnotonlyvakdbut azsoquitefasciMti.ng*

The LQ(Ys: A Space _” _.t I-Odyssey _

-_ .* There has been quite some talk recently about the need for more space in science. The present situation has been referred to as the saturation point for science. No more expansion within the faculty could realistically be accommodated. This raises many, many doubts as to whether present &ienti& capacities will be able to* continue. These include both research and teaching needs. Something must be done to ensure the touchston& of science here at UW are not abandoned. If one were to look around campus at present it can be seen that most faculties are at a point where they cannot expand. However it must be noted that certain faculties are in

T‘k more need of spii ri’ihers, This brings us to the notion of administrative prioritization. The person presently in charge of space allocation for the university is Dr. Jim Kdbfleisch at Needles Hall. He is currently I making an evaluation of space needs on campus. However, there is not much space that Gould be readily reallocated to protide much relief for the departments, says Kalbfleisch. “only a new building as well as other present ende&ors can si&antly remedy t6e space shortage on campus.” ” e * Prospective solutions to the saturation problem all point to the need for a new building.

The building til be divided as 75% science, earth sciences especially, and 25% engineering. It will total approximately 80,000 square feet according to present plans. This building is planned to be built within the next three to five years, depending upon the university-wide fundraising CamPah

One cannot sim~lv look ahead a number a years for a solution’t6 a problem that has to be at least somewhat remedied today. Therefore there are basically two options for the university: to reallocate space according to need, and/or provide a means for necessary renovations. This is a very difficult task for the administration due mainly to a lack of proper governmental funding. The present recession has the government in doubts as to their funding capacity for universities and colleges in Ontario. This coupled with unfavourable university prioritization, has darkened the outlook for some scientists. If we start with the Department of Chemistry, it is plain to see that there is true saturation. It has come to a point where expansion within the department for equipment, student enrollment, etc., has had to be frozen. “It wouldn’t be fair to those people already here to try to accommodate anything more,“stated Dr. McCourt, Chairman of the Department of Chemistry. “We’ve had to find the optimum compromise among several often conflicting requirements” in order to accommodate peo. ple or alleviate overcongestion. This has iesulted in what can be regarded as definitely non-ideal or even unfavourable conditions. Ever decreasing lab and teaching space and ever increasing undergraduate and graduate enrollment, has put severe constraints on many faculty and students. “We can run a wasonably safe lab,” states Dr. M. Chong, organic chemistry professor/researcher. However, it is getting to be a “real horror show, and a fight for space.” ,This tremendous lack of space must be viewed in the light of Vice-President, Academic and Provost, Dr. Alan George’s latest report that: 5% Depatiment of Chehihy hm a dis;, tinguished and active fucu@ whibh h&e:’ ‘the’ largest peer-adjudicated (NSERC.

This is the department that although mandated to expand through its various funding capacities, Centres of Excellence, etc., cannot feasibly expand. Something must be done. Although as outwardly disgusting as it is, the space wan of science are not limited to the department of chemistry alone. The departments of Earth Sciences and Biology are also in great need of space. In the Department of Earth Sciences, national and international awards have been won by four senior professors. The Department has been host to the Geoscience Council, and several members are associate editors of journals. Right now the department is located in 13 locations around campus. It is obvious that consolidation and administration of the department is getting near to impossible. The greatest need for space, according to the Chairman of the departmant, Dr. John Greenhouse, is in research. This includes the burgeoning fields of hydrogeology and groundwater research, of which the Centres of Excellence are located here at UW. It should be noted that a very high percentage of Canadian hydrogeologists are UW Earth Sciences graduates. The Department of Biology is also at a point of saturation. It has had to do as the others and convert much needed lecture space into research laboratories. There is still need for at least “seven offices, labs and lecture rooms, and a much needed animal room,” explains department chairman Dr. George Dixon. “We were given an electron microscope from WINTRON and it took the space where three graduate students were working.” It has been shown that there exists a great need for space in order for very deserving institutions to provide the excellent type of education for which UW Science is renowned. There IWW comes a point where one must reflect on where, with such a vast need for or other possible space, reallocations solutions could be made. The near future looks very rough to say the least.

W&m the history of the twentieth century b written, it will probably mention that science was the most influenti force for social change and affected the lives of practically every human being in the world. It was the most pervasive activity in Western c+ ture: more food was produced; tie expectancy was pushed beyond 70 years; nuclear weapons were constructed; pesticides were into the environment. And released inevitably, the naive assumption that science only uncovers facts and that society misuses them, will likely grace the pages of those conclud ing chapters. But LRwontin wants us to realize that science is a social institution with all the bi%eS that the people who do science, namely scientists, bring to it. Scientists are social beings and therefore the scientific endeavor is a cultural activity. It also takes time and lots of money to do it, and it produces commodities. As an institution, it has a stake in maintaining the power and privilege of the few who control ’ the key to the door. For example, he sees that women have been pressing men to open up a society that has maintained domination of society as a whole. Men have reinforced the biological inferiority of women: hormones and the menstrual cycle make women emotionally unstable, SO how can they do the same things as men effectively; women. have different brain structures, use differ&t parts of the brain, that’s why they can’t do higher III&. muS, d inStitutions mirror the society they he in Other social institutions then also have an input into science.

Out of &is came the idea that the properties of the individual are the causal agent of whole societies. But there was no mutual dependence of the parts, the beauty of in&vi&.&sm. It was not long before living beings were seen as determtions of gene products. LRwontin says biologists claim we have some genes that destine us to be great or poor. The world around us give us 06 internal problems, we do not create them. This is the basis of the selfish gene concept attributed to Richard Dawkins. The argument continues that if our economy is competitive it is because the individuals are like that. Lewontin then speaks of the sociobiological paradigm of Edward Wilson: culture genes give rise to culture. And that is why biologists want all this money for the Human Genome Project, says Lewontin. Once we know the sequence of every piece of DNA, well know everything about culture, why some societies are more powerful than others.

L-IU wait?” In- the backg&und of that panel will be an election poster with the campaign slogan “Four More Years”. It is the subtlety with which Moore operates that makes him a delight to read. Moore is bored of superheroes, however, and his current project Big Numbers (put out by Mad Love fiblishing) moves onto ideas of fractaf mathematics and chaos theory. Mow believes that if you want to explore political iY&astrW&es, there’s no need for superheroes to get in the way. Moore’s hometown of Northampton provides the setting for Big Numbers. The plot sees the town (called Hampton) as the recipient of a huge U.S. supermalL It doesn’t take long to work out the theme of US. cultural imperialism. This specific incident of imperialism takes the form of an invasion from outer space, where the strongest symbols of the capitalist Americans lie, such as in Mars bars. What makes Big Numbers another masterpiece (well, from the two issues that are out) is the fact that Moore doesn’t rest on hii law&. He continually introduces new methods of pk@ng the literary and visual aspects off each other. The synthesis of these two parts, after undergoing Moore’s alcptemy, draws the reader into the book, trying to figure out how Big Numbers all adds up. For example, the book m without words for the first ten pages (an extremely noticeable effect is achieved), The first word of dialogue is “Shit!“, and the response by an elderly couple is “There’s no need to use language.” Whatever your conception of comic books, any work by Moore is bound to change it by exploring ideas that reflect aspects of our culture. His is slowly changing interpretation whatcomic writers write, and how they write. Frank Miller is another titer who has had a profound effect on the face of comic books. This is primarily, although not exclusively, through his best-selling interpretation of the caped crusader in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. instead of the typical casualty of society turned vigilante treatme& that Batman normally receives, Miller decides to deconstruct the aDotheosis

of this superhero and present a more subtle character that can be suitably integrated into a serious examination of his situation and setting. With Dark Knight, Miller’s main tool is the cultural baggage that Batman &cries with him, from Bob Kane’s original conception through Adam West’s brilliant perversion, to modern day treatments. Miller shows his skill by justifying the serious treatment of a character that has in the past been so easily trivialized. Miller currently has two comics on the stands: Hard Boiled, and Give Me Liberty. The former is coming out in three issues, the latter four (at last ,,word). Both present strongly themes of a consumer s&ety gone berserk, and both are published by, Dark

Pekar’s personal reason for writing i

publicity, mainly on appearances on late Night with David Letterman, is far greater than Miller, Moore or Spiegelman. Pekar writes and publishes American Splendor, perhaps the Velvet underground of comics, probably responsible for many writers getting into the underground comics scene. It’s a love/hate response to his work, that’s for sure. You either think his material is the work of a simpleton or that of a hyper-realist/ex-

perimental

writer.

l&at Pekar avoids by choosing this sort of hyper-conscious reality is the homogeneous character who doesn’t work That is to say, assuming writers draw from real-life experiences one will often finA that their characters are (consciously or not) a synthesis of people, or traits of people, that the author knows. Unfortunately; this sometimes results in a character that has conflicting ideas or character traits, This runs the risk of invalidating the character and maybe even the whole work Pekar avoids this problem altogether and like a diary, his work carries with it the immediacy and validity of a journal of l&Ill&can Splendrk The medium is the message, and the contributing artists (abourten an issue, one for each story) give the effect of Pekar’s life changing slightly with the start of every new page. The comic is an attempt to push the limits of this medium, and Pekar succeeds like others, by bringing another facet to this ever-expanding method of expression. Art Spiegelman’s MAUS uses the anthropomorphism such as that of Orwell’s Animal Farm, but rather than describe the events of the Russian Revolution, Spiegelman documents the life of a Jewish survivor of Hitler’s Germany and his son, a cartoonist (Spiegelman himself). Throughout the non-fiction piece, the Jews are represented by mice, the Germans cats, and the Polish peoples are Pigs. MAUS is primarily a historical comic. Unlike the fiction of many other comics, MAWS deals with a serious issue that has been documented in many other places, but never in comic book form. If there were any preconceptions as to the material which comics could explore, MAUS 1 definitely helped destroy them. The text jumps back and forth from the artists’ home in New York of the early seventies to Poland of the forties. The book explores two storylines. The first plot follows

On the basis of this week’s evidence, the Warrior Hockey team has begun to show signs of playing up to their potential. With victories over two tough division rivals, Guelph and Windsor, Waterloo remained undefeated and climbed into first place in the OUAA West with a 4-O-2 record, good for 10 points. On Thursday night, the Warriors made the trek up highway 7, through BresIau, to the shiny new double ice rink facility at the University of Guelph - includin’ a bar with a panoramic view of the ice surface. While the Gryphons put up a fight during the first period, UW began exerting its authority during the second and third periods to win by a solid 5-2 margin. First-year rightwinger Darren Snyder made a spectacular return playing in his first game in over a month due to strained knee ligaments. He scored two goals and added two assists, for a total of four points. He got the Warriors on the scoreboard early, potting a goal in the second minute of the game. Mike GilIies tied the game for Guelph, letting the WarQors know, this wasn’t going to be a garroting in Gryphtown

Waterloo sumed back on toD when Steve Richardv put the f&hing touches on a beautiful set-up from John Williams. Once again thi gritty Gryphons refused to play d&d and a god from Eric Ross knotted the score at two. Late in the first Waterloo took the lead for good when Craig Shaw unleashed a howitzer bIast upstairs to make it 3-2 Warriors at the first Gatorade break. Waterloo seized control in the second period as Darren Snyder scored his second ona tip4n off a shot from Wtior blue-liner Jeff Ballantyne. When Dave Lorentz scored on a tip-in off a Tony Crisp drive, the score was 5-2 and it looked as though the Waniors could put it in cruise control and start thinking about what items they wanted on their post-game victory pizzas. . This wasn’t to be the case though as the Warrior penalty&lling units got a thorough workout,, foIlowing a 5 minute major penalty to former Kitchener Ranger Cory Keenan and a minor to Jamie Maki Despite a 5-on-3 man advantage, the Gryphons could not get any shots on net thanks to the suffocating UW defence. Along with the four-point outburst from Darren Snyder, Waterloo’s multiple point-getters were Tony Crisp with three assists, Jeff Ballantyne with two assists and Dave Lore& with a goal and an assist. Steve Udvari turned in another soli performance between the pipes, allowing only the two goals on 24 Guelph shots. The Windsor Lancers brought a bucket’ full o’confidence into their

Monday morning, Waterloo appeared in a tie for tenth.

Sunday afternoon showdown with the Warriors, having beaten the Lmier Golden Ducks earlier in the weekend, and having earned a tie with the Black and Gold when they played in bordertown at the season’s outset. It showed, as the Lancers broke on top thanks to a Dan Mahon goal at 4149. A breakdown in the Waterloo defence aIlowed Mahon three cracks at the puck before he put it home. The good guys came back to even the score at 9:03 when wingers John Williams and Steve Schaefer converted a ‘2-man breakaway, with Williams counting the goal. The lead

didn’t last until the end of the first period though, as Brad Belland redirected a pass behind Steve Udvari to put Windsor up 2-1 at the first intermission. The Warriors got back on even terms with the Lancers at 2:40 of the second when Jamie Maki jumped on a rebound off Brad Geard’s shot off the boards and put it past Windsor’s keeper Mark Seguin. Geard was involved in the winning Warrior goal at 12:15 of the second when he followed his own shot and put the rebound into the mesh for a 3-2 Waterloo lead.

high-octane netplay Mrnrolled into a dominating 15-5 win. Game three developed into much the same sporadic pat-tern as game one, with the two teams exchanging the lead six times. Western’s top power hitter (who is considerably

pushed ‘into the, *purple floor by &lodis seemed to be the inspiration for the Plague early in the final game. Then Western self destructed in the Xatter half with one net violation, one potential kill hit wide, one serve long, and another spike hit long. Combine that with two more kills by the Smith brothers and it was good night Mustangs. Waterloo took the game, 15-13, and the match, 3-2. Itithe W..&s%otit &ith McMas;-t&r, ‘the match lasted an exhausting two hours and 15 minutes. The game scores for UW were 15-7,6-15,10-15, 15-9, and 8-15. Too often, Waterloo was playing as six individuals rather than one cohesive team. The top Plaguesters on the stats sheet were Steve Smith (27 kills, three aces, five stuff blocks, and 10 digs), Scott Smith (21 kills, two aces, and five digs), and Dave Balodis (12 kills, two sh& blocks, and two digs).

Just’ as they had against Guelph, the Warriors shut play down during the third period, using a closechecking defensive style to stifIe any Lancer offence. Final score 3-2 Waterloo. Steve Udvti continued to whittle away at his excellent Goals Against Average - the whispers of ‘Mike who?” keep getting louder. Despite the f&t that they stand as one of only two undefeated teams in the OUAA, except for the awesome Patriotes of UQTR, who stand 8-0-O (including 14-O and 12-O victories this past weekend), the Warriors have not been blessed with a top-10 national ranking. Maybe the colour Black scares ‘em so much that they’d rather have a team with three loss&s in their top ten, if it’s wearing Purple and Yellow, that is. A BIG test for the Warriors will be their game Thursday, Nov. 22 against the York Yeomen, up there in Mel Lastman land. A victory there would certainly earn the Warriors some of the respect they haven’t been given so far. After that they tussle with the toothless RM.C. pucksters in Kingston on Saturday. Word is that a losing record this season means a vacation in sunny Iraq for the RM.C. Hockey squad. After a couple of coughs and the Warrior hockey splutters, machine looks to be settling into good tune, gears meshing and working smoothly for a drive to the top of the OUAA, and who knows, the CIAU, too.

Strcing efforts,‘kgainst Brock juggernaut leads Athenas past Western Athena

Volleyball

by Frank S+nieks Imprint

sports

Over the past week, the Waterloo Athena Volleyball team played two’ excellent Matches against Brock and’ Western The Athenas lost against Brock but were victorious against Western to even up their record at 22. First off, Waterloo went up against a strong and experienced Brock team last Wednesday in front of a sparse crowd at the PAC. The Athenas lost the match threegames to one, but the rnatchwasvery evenwiththewinner being decided by who could make treztter plays and get the lucky W&loo jumped to an early 5-O lead in the frrst game, but could not hold onto thii lead as it was whittled down unti the game was tied at 11. The Brock team then put together a good streak of hits to take the game 15-11.

The second game was a see-saw battle with neither team taking more than a three point lead. Late m the game a couple of missed serves proved to be the undoing of the team and .the game was lost, 15-13. In volleyball, as in life, sometimes all the little things start going your way and eve-g just works, this is ’ what happened to the Athenas in the third game. As they came out on top of another see-saw battle, 15-12. In the fourth and final game, the Brock team took no prisoners and were victorious by a 15-5 score. Overall, the showing by the inexp&en& Athenas was very competitive as the Brock team was ranked fo&th in the country and is currently on top of the OUAA standings. The first three games were all very close with the winner being wbmver could string together a few point5 at the right moment. The only aspect of the game which the Athenas had consistent problems with was on the set-up for the spike return. The powerful Brock team was able to get their spikes through the block and onto an open spot on the.court a majority .of the time. After the game, head coach Dena Deglau said that her team bad played well, but noted the lack of consistency in her young players. Unfortunately, that’s something you can’t teach, you have to learn it between the lines. The next game for the Athenas was against the WesternMustangs iriI~ndon last Friday. Here the result was more favourable, with Waterloo coming out on top 3-l. Game one was close all the way’ through, with Western having two

opportunities to win the game, only to be stymied by the Athenas. This gutsy per&rmance earned UVV the win by a tiore of 17-15. The team had a slow start in the second game, falling behind by eight points before Deglau called them in to talk things over. Well I hope she remembered what she told them, because it worlced, as the Athenas came back with solid serving and hitting to take the game 15-12. In the third game, the team again felI behind early, but this time no amount of coaching was going to help, as the Western team managed to connect on numerous spikes and win the game 15-3. Waterloo managed to shake off that loss and come out strong in the fourth game, leading alI the way to a 15-F victory.

DegIau didn’t think that her team had played exceptionally weIl, but was impressed by the comeback in

the second game. She noted how a young team will tend to play at that slow level of the competition, and that certainly happened here, as the Western team only has a record of O-3. IfIhadtopickanMVPofthetwo matches for Waterloo it would be second year player Katrina Englebrecht. Her consistently accurate serves and sets helped get many points for Waterloo, as well, she can hit when the opportunity arises. Other notable performances were put on by Suzi Judd and team captain MicheIle Vanvliet Waterloo played against M&laster this past Wednesday (results unavailable at press time) and wiII be participating in a tournament at the ;university of Guelph this weekend. The next home game for the team will be this Wednesday, November 28 against the Guelph Gryphons at 6 pm in the PAC.

PROSPECTS:

Bates 5’6”

This BelIeville native had limited competitive experience at Albert College but is continuing to develop into a fine player. Her tremendous attitude coupled with her eagerness to learn makes Bates a valuable asset to the team. Marion Femandez 5’8” G Femandez, who comes from St. John’s in Brantford, displayed tremendous shooting skills in cIub play last year. Her conscientious attitude and good basketball sense will help her to adjust to the faster paced varsity game and possibly become a future Athena star. Cathy Miller 5’6” G In her third-year of Rinesiology, MilIer enters her first season of varsity basketball, after a high school career at M. M. Robinson in Burlington. Although still learning the game, Miller is in incredible physical condition and could use her endurance to contribute defensiveIy. Tina Murray 5’6” G This speedy point guard has had plenty of club experience and Boor time on the high school hardwood with Sherwood Secondary in Hamilton. Murray will probably be a starter because she has added a fat of strength at the perimeter. Her excellent court vision should help execute the offence. Julia Passmore 5’10” F Passmore, from Timmins High and Vocational School, will build into a versatile university player in the coming years. She is a forward who is mobile enough to become a big guard, able to play the entire floor on offence. Her great jumping ability should help UW’s rebounding.

The Go-Go’s

byPeterDia2 Buffalo Tom with the Devil Dogs Lee’s Palace Friday, Nov. 9

by Craig Netterfield Imprint Staff Every now and then the major labels open those big iron doors and let a few lucky independent bands into the inner sanctum of superstardom. Well, maybe not, but they do throw a few promotional bucks out to the young-uns. Well, it has happened again. Bands like the Pixies and (go figure) Sonic Youth are getting major label attention and even some air

play.

With all the attention they’ve been getting, it was no surprise that Sonic Youth sold out their latest Toronto show. In fact, a couple hundred fans’ wirh tickets couldn’t get in because the show was oversold. Instead, they got to stand in the cold for a while and were handed a sampler of two Polygram bands: Buffalo Tom and James. Thanks for coming out. Needless to say, as we left the show there were a few smashed tapes on the sidewalk. It’s too bad, really, because the Buffalo Tom tracks were really good. James’ two cuts sucked, in spite of what Paul might say about them (hnk here, yuung felklr. whm I was ytwmg witms respeded their ed$m, and thg loved it Eike that! - ud) m A few weeks after I got a copy of

that tape, and then promptly bought the album, Buffalo Tom put on one of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. As with most good shows, the opening band - Broil - was awful. It was their first gig, though. They told US that three times. And put it on the posters. And on the ad in Now. They also let us know that they were supposed to be playing in New York that night,“We had it all lined up. . . But I’m sure this crowd is nicer.” I+ good to see a band that can charm an audience into euphoria and then serenade them to sleep - at their first show. The next ban&up, the Devil Dogs, actually came from New York to Toronto t~~&a~~a”‘y that. And they were g&r&?t,mundirtg like the Ramones or the Saints, although unoriginal. They played fine versions of “I’m gonna make you mine” and DMZ’s “Ball me out.” I sure didn’t expect Buffalo Tom to be as great as they were. Their fuzzed out Underground-isms Velvet worked far better live than on vinyl; the vocals were even on-key+ When the guitarist’s patch cord died, the rhythm section ably carried the show. They played a healthy dose of son&s from their latest release, Birdbrain, often adding longer instrumental breaks and extra verses to push the songs past the three-and-a-half minute barrier of the recorded versions. They even played a fine version of Blondie’s “Dreaming” in the encore. Sure, Paul Westerberg didn’t join them on stage, despite their reauest. but *who can expect perfecI 1 tio;l?

Although Carlisle is the beauty behind the beat, it’s Wieldin who captures the audience’s attention and keeps it for the entire show. Constantly running around the stage, dancing and talking to the audience members up front, she looked like she was having a hell of a time and reminded me of a hyper-active child.

Prince Ally: 1by Sandy Atwal Ihprint staff

spending some time composing and writing nlusic, he started on a tour during which he made stops at the Copa and the Concert Hall in Toronto. Ally works with many other artists including Jimmie Reed, Eric Smith, Jackie Mittoo, Charles Sinclair, Tony Campbell, Raymond Ruddock and Errol Blackwood (ex-singer of Messenjah).

By all music industry standards, Prince Ally 1richly deserves the recognition that he is now 1beginning to get in this region. Recognition Ithat he has enjoyed in the past from the i audiences in his native Guyana. Ally’s reggae iand calypso styles present a story of a lifetime iinfluenced by musicians from all over the 1 West Indies, and are a testament to his unique 7 voice, flavoured by years of musical interest 1 i 3nd enthusidsm.

“I don’t really follow any other artist,” he says “I’m just trying to be what I am.” The strength of Ally is his jack-of-all-trades approach to the industry. His experience ensures a following by the local West Indian population and his control over the production as well as the release of the album on his

Multi-talented music messenjuh Prince Ally, 29, was born in Corriverton, Berbice, Guyana, and he has had quite a successful musical history. He started in 1979 in, Guyana, where various musical influences from the Caribbean and South America influenced his own musical style. He made a big impact at the “SMILE GUYANA” show at the National Park in Guyana in 1980. The show brought together various musical artists and allowed them to showcase their musical talents. His first professional encounter with the music industry came when he took on the role as lead singer of the New Graduates. With the New Graduates, managed by Ally’s father (another of the Prince’s musical influences) he did an extensive tour in 1984 of Trinidad and Tobago, Brazil, Barbados and venues as far north as New York.

to quality.

The Prince has released a single, “People of the World”, a tribute to Nelson Mandela, which is the first song from his album of the same name, and a twelve inch which features the tracks “Ain’t No Sunshine” and “It Burns Inside”. The “People of the World” single has sold well over 800 copies since its release in April; quite an accomplishment for a local artist. The track features some of Ally’s musical friends from Messeniah. Ally records his songs at Wax World Production Facilities in St. Jacobs, and from there, he uses his own record store in Kitchener as an outlet for his music. The store, located at 265 King St. E. specializes in the latest reggae, calypso and soca music.

In 1985, Ally decided it was time to expand his musical horizons and moved to Canada. He decided to settle down in Kitchener where he still lives with his wife and two children. He wasted no time in discovering how he couid bring his own brand of West Indies music to _ this new market. The region seemed more than willing to accept this new artist; after

Ally has had a strong career so far, and there is no reason as to why this shouldn’t continue. His unique brand of music has shown him to be an artist adept at all aspects of Ihe trade, and this will go a long way in ensuring a successful musical career.

Can a sequel- equal theoriginal? TexasviIIe Directed by Peter Bogdonavich

by Jennifer Epps Imprint staff

TexamilZe isn’t the kind of film that’s spectacularly bad, the kind pf film it’s fun to talk about because the people who made it must have known how bad it was and simply didn’t care. Instead, it’s just clumsily bad, vaguely bad, and you’re embarrassed for the ople involved because it seems to K ve slipped through their fingers. Peter Bogdonavich, who directed the fine, sedate movie ve&on of Iary McMurtry’s novel ne L.UYZpitture Show, has also directed Tmasville, a sequel set thirty years later. Bogdonavich’s film follows the second book closely, and that’s where the trouble starts. ’ When McMurtry wrote The Last Rcture Show, he was full of love and longing for his hometown and he understood the psychology of his sexually repressed characters. The protagonist, adolescent Sonny Crawford, does a lot of growing up in a short period of time; he gets suckered by the pretty, scheming Jacy Farrow, has a fight with his best friend, Duane Jackson, who had been Jacy’s beau, and even has an affair with Ruth Popper, the miserable wife of Sonny’s boorish football coach. McMurtry describes Sonny’s insides in such detail that you become convinced what is being depicted is real life, despite the melodramatic moments. The tone of the book is brooding and wistful, as the characters realize that they have lost their innocence without becoming any wiser.

In Tmasville, however, McMurhy abandons Sonny, and makes Duane his protagonist. Sonny is still around, but he is losing his mind - he seems to be suffering from Alzheirner’s, though it’s never diagnosed - and so we are never giQ%n the chance to match the present with the past. Jacy I returns, after achieving some small fame abroad as a movie star, but she is changed; she has lost a child, and has become a decent human being. Ruth’s husband died and freed her; she now works for Duane, as his secretary, and is confident, independent, and full of advice. Duane himself made millions in the oil business, though he owes them all now, and he “Catch the number of that water-buffalo?yy is married and has a large family.

It’s like watching the end of The wizard of Oz, when the Good Witch Glinda tells Dorothy she always had the ability to return to Kansas - but watching it for two hours. None of the characters’ problems are allowed to matter, you’re just supposed to admire their spunk and realize how terribly life-affirming it all is.

of little-known and l-regarded animals, animals that we may never have heard of, and that we might never have a chance to see. The book, therefore, is a small but desperate attempt to make people aware of animals that are in danger of becorning extinct and the efforts of governments and zoologists to help restore their populations. But why? So what if a few animals which we’ve never heard of nor ever want to see die off? Why would we miss them? Carwardine, in the last chapter of the novel, gives his reasons: ‘There is one last reason for caring and I believe that no other is necessary. It is certainly *4 ‘reason why so many people +ve devoted their lives to protecting the likes of parakeets, kakapos and rhinos, dol$ins.

This term’s University of Waterloo Drama Society presentation offers a new twist on Shakespeare’s Taming of lie Shew - sexual transposition of the actors playing the lead roles. As the notes in the programme indicate, the sexual politics of S&W have produced wide-ranging opinions for centuries. Sexual reversal offers an interesting opportunity to reevaluate the ‘morality of the phy. Director Maarten van Dijk also chose to abandon the notion of historical consistency, in favour of a more freewheeling approach to costume and ‘staging. Ergo the varsity jacket on Lucentio (Naomi Snieckus), Petruchio’s motorbike entrance, or the Labatt’s 50 being consumed by Chrisfopher Sly (Ross Bra&.

There was a constant sense of parody and blunt slapstick about the proceedings. It was quite difficult for the audience to get through any lines utteredby the s&t&s Kate and Bianca, played by Tony Simopoulous and

Craig Mason, respectively, without breaking out into laughter. In particular, Bianca’s countenance produced mass hysterics. The role of Petruchio, the tamer of the shrew, was handled with gusto by Darlene Spencer, who stormed about the stage like a tornado waiting to touch down. In ripped jeans, cowboy boots and a moustache,she was easily the most intimidating force on stage. Darlene, a fourth-year acting/ directing major will be sitting in the director’s chair for next term’s production of Tartuffk oIz,qk b&is of the quality of her past &&prestit work in UW dramatic productions,.we can set our expectations high for this presentation. IN watching Petruchio interact with Kate, it was a little ironic that the shrew seemed conquered from the outset. There was little taming involved. Ideology aside, these was a consistent level of comedic merit achieved. The whirlwind leaping presence of Cathy Janzen aS Biondello lit up the stage every time she entered. Her extended tongue-twister before the wedding scene was a tour-de-force. The revelation scene, in which Lucentio’s various deceptions are uncovered, is handled with dexterity and aplomb. The lurching confrontation between the fake Vincentio (Bernard Keamey) and the real Vincentio, (Tanya Ross), is full of tension, wit and snap.

Another masterful Comic moment was the tailor’s scene, during which Petruchio tortures Kate with affected affection. The mugging toadying haberdasher and tailor are ideal foils to Petruchio’s mutability and Rate’s desperation. While the general level of performance and staging was admirable, ambiguity remained within the play’s sew politics. The last scene; Katherine’s speech emphasizing woman’s serviet marital role, aroused contradictory emotions within the audience: while a few hissed, the majority couldn’t restrain laughter. 1 found the hissing to be, more than a little absurd given the context of the words: the entire ‘production revolved around a mockery of the original theme; the climax should have been the funniest moment. To lose one’s sense of humour at that instant would seem to deny the previous two hours’ work. The set design, with a packing crate magically opening into a full set, was inventive, despite the gaffe of sexual politics which the lettering “Women% touring company” seemed to present. The incidental music was anusing and the use of smoke effective.. . the first time. You’ve two more chances to see Taming of the Shrew; tonight {Friday) and tomorrow evenings.

convincing as the previous stuff. Tt may not be terribly new, but it is Alice Donut as we know them, which is a wonderful thing indeed. Where to begin? Well, the lyrics remain as striking as ever. “Cow’s Placenta to Armaggedon” reads l&e the plot syno+s to some cheap Stephen King novel (77~ Stand IW I. maybe). “Mother of Christ” details a Messiah complex that’s gone a bit too far. ‘hly Severed Head” compares various freakish ways to die, concluding that “the average death in a hospital bed, stuck on a Frankenstein machine” is the most horrible of all. And following are the complete lyrics to “Crawlpappy: “Huge, burly, tattooed- pppy! &ye, bU@? obtuse- pappy! I’ve been pappied-Oh, the indignity of it all!”

The music remains the same high-energy metal that it’s always been. But the best songs - “Mother of Christ”, “Roaches in the Sink”, a couple others - are the ones where the songwriting is strong enough to match the intensity of the sound. Unfortunately, a little too much of Mule-like “Big Ass” or “Mrs. Hayes” - is merely tuneless headbanging.

by Hood Linti 10,000 Maniacs’ newest release is actually not new at alI. The album is subtitled the Fredonia Recordings 1982-1983 and consists of the Maniacs’ early work Is the album therefore a record company ploy to keep the fans interested in the band until the next release? Well yes, but it accomplishes more than this. The release is a compilation of two independent releases Human Conflict Number Five and Secwts of the I C/zing (the title taken from a random glance at book spines) both issued on the band’s Christian Burial Music label. The r=ordings capture a young Natalie Merchant and the five other Maniacs one year after their formation in 1981. The extensive liner notes share the typical struggling artist anecdotes about life on the road, but fails to explain how a 17 year old school girl banded together with five university graduates ( a mystery perhaps better left unsolved). A copy of Skm ofthelching made its way to John Peel’s influential BBC-l show

Elektra, the Maniacs released Z%e Wu/zing Chair in 1985. This album’s wishy-washy production and lack of direction resulted in poor record sales, and put the band’s future in doubt. 1987’s In My Ttibe, along with appearances on S.N.L and Late Night turned things around. Rolling Stone magazine fell in love with the precious Miss Merchant and 10,000 Maniacs became the new hip university hand. Last year’s Hind Man b Zoo really solidified their fan support and increased their pop&arity. This brings us ti the substance of Hope CheSr The album has some of the best demo sound quality to tickle the ossicles in quite some time. An early version of “Grey Victory” and “Daktari” appear on the album, and the recordings have a raw down to earth feel lacking on later renditions. AIbum highlights include ‘Planned Obsolescence” and ‘Tension” (written after one of Natalie’s english assignments). Some tracks contain some guitar and recording experimentation, (spinning microphones in the air while recording) but once you get beyond these neverbeen-in-a-studio-before tricks, the songs contain some good playing nice melodies and intelligent lyrics. The purpose of Hope Chest is to keep the fans satisfied until the next 10,000 Maniacs release. Though it won’t win new fans, Hope Ch4st suc-

Melbourne’s Hunters & Collectors have reached the stage in their musical career at which they are still generating powerful, thoughtprovoking rock’n’roll, and yet have accumulated enough material to provide for an interesting retrospective look at the band. Hence the release of

most of the attention but stresses the concept of the band as a whole. This congruence was taken a step further last summer when the outfits toured together. Because it serves as an. excellent synopsis, Collected Works is an ideal way for someone unfamiliar with Hunters & CoIlectors to get acquainted with their music. Fans of the group should take note that the unreleased B-sides “StiIl Hanging ‘Round” and “Give Me A Reason” have also been included in this offering.

For much of their existence, H & C have been compared to fellowAu&es Midnight Oil, and justifiably so. Both acts made early reputations for themselves as live performers, both refuse to compromise their ideals, and lead singer Mark Seymour, like Peter Garrett, receives

obvious reference to the’tirefooted” tendencies of middle-earth - a theme whose resolution Tolkien took to the grave.) All this and it’s only the first track: “Sunnyside of The Street” Even this early off however, Bilbo foreshadows: ‘As my mother wept it was then I swore/ To take my life as I would a whore,” hinting at &e sordid travels that manifest th&mselves most clearly within the lyrics of the Lp’s title track: “Genet’s felling Ramon’s dick/ The guy in the bunk above gets sick.../Black dildo, black hell... tittle man how you have suffered.” There is a brief lull in the pervasive drunken despair: “Sunnyside of The Street” sees Bilbo and Frodo (played by Jem Finer, whose involvement in this project is also quite prominent) relaxing with a pipe, dreaming about a “moon. full of rainbows.” You can almost smell their smoke rings and envision happier times. We then hit ‘Rain Street,” which opens side two and it is here where tie see some validity in the argument that what could possibly have been Tolkien’s masterpiece, eventually surrenders to an unforhmate and (unfinished?) complacency. The inarticulateness of “5 Green Queens Q Jean,” the albums’ last lyrical song, is a true disappointment; sure Bilbo and Frodo are happy but what about Gandalf who is stilIat the mercy of the Balrogs? What about the tumour of gentrification that is strangling the lifeforce from The Shire? These questions are left unanswered. That the album closes with a twopart track with the lyrical sophistication of an instrumental suggests the sad truth that BiIbo and Frodo are growing apart. Those that together once shone so bright are losing each other. The sickn& of disconte*nt has irrevocably germinated and begins to spread through the otherwise lush vallevs of Hell’s Ditch.
