Political activism is a rare thing at Waterloo, and sometimes it takes the threat of war to generate it. A quickly organized 11 pm candlelight vigil on Tuesday, January 15 brought together about 300 students to call for peace in the Persian Gulf and the pull out of western troops from the region.

Vice-President, University Affair Kim Speers spoke to the crowd, as1 ing them how they thought sh should vote on a resolution car demning Canada’s involvement i the Gulf conflict that was tabled at th Ontario Federation of Student Opening Plenary.

Speers began the vigil outside the Campus Centre by explaining why she organized it. “I was sitting in classes yesterday and it gradually began to hit home that our country will soon be at war,” she said. Out of this realization came a great impetus to make some sort of statement against Canada’s military involvement in the Gulf.

Many of the same students, numbering over 200, gathered together again Wednesday afternoon to paint anti-war banners and signs in the Campus Centre Great Hall. ‘Troops out of the gulf. . . hell no, we won’t go, we won’t fight for Texaco,” they chanted as they marched from UW to the downtown Waterloo office of Waterloo Member of Parliament Walter McLean at 5 pm that day. Once there, they covered the windows with large paper banners and encouraged protestors to write down their feelings about the war. The building’s security guards were encouraged to join in, but they declined. Speakers encouraged people to join a protest bus going to Ottawa Monday, and led cheers condemning the GST, or “Gulf Service

The march was organized by The Coalition Against War in the Gulf in tandem with other protests across the country Wednesday night. Tuesday night’s vigil was organized on Monday primarily by Tammy Speers, chairperson of the Women’s Issues Board of the Federation of Students. “I was very pleased with the number of people who came,” Speers told Imprint. ‘“Though apathy usually

Bryan Smith of the Coalition Against War in the Gulf spoke after Speers, calling on the protesters to make their opposition to the war known to their MI% and federal leaders. The crowd of 300 then marched around Ring Road, with a security cruiser escort, chanting traditional peace songs and slogans.

Whose War is it??
Canada in the Gulf &tics
By the time this is published, Canada may already be participating in a war in the Middle East. Back at home, Canadians are asking a lot of questions. Why are Canadian lives being put at stake? What should Canada’s role be in the Gulf crisis? Dr. Kim Nossal of McMaster University argues that Canada’s support for armed intervention in the Persian Gulf reflects a tradition of siding with the United States in foreign affairs and is, in fact, consistent with Canadian actions of the past. “Critics have misread the traditions of Canadian foreign policy,” said the professor of Po$itical Science at McMaster, who is considered a leading authority on Canadian foreign policy. He talked about Canada’s role in the Cd to a packed meeting of the Canadian Institute of International Affiks at Hagey Hall on Tuesday night, in the absence of scheduled speaker Alex Morrison, According to Nossal, Canadians dissent at our cotitry’s commitment to armed aggression can be attributed
that Canada is abanrole as an impartial peacekeeper. Nossal strongIy questions the prevailing perception of Canada as a great peacemaker and neutral power. In most of its historical peacekeeping roIes, Canada has simply been responding to persuasive international requests. No& suggested that Canada’s peacekeeping activities have been influenced largely by bureaucratic factors, rather than altruistic aims. As for our perceived neutrality, Nossal asserted that in. almost all important international incidents, Canada has sided, at least in part, with the Americans. He drew numerous parallels between the current Gulf crisis and the Korean War. In both cases, Canada is following America’s footsteps and joining a UN-backed force to challenge a “nasty dictator” who has invaded a neighbouring territory. The frightening possibility was raised that a Persian Gulf war could turn out to be similar to the Korean confEt in terms of Canadian casuaItks, as well. Canada suffered over 1,600 casualties in the Korean War, hcluding 309 deaths. Nossal suggested that the Korean War seems to have been forgotten in recent public debate because our invoIvemerit there was “not consistent with

In essence, Canada decision to get involved was not on1 a precedented one, but a pragrnat one. One can be aImost certain thi Canada would choose to avoid war they.could do so without contradic ing the US. In fielding questions, Ness explored some other aspects of th Gulf crisis. He labelled “political1 stupid” Mulroney’s decision t approve armed aggression with01 the approval of Parliament, thoug the executive has the legal power f engage the armed forces in this tour trv.

To Your Health
!
IT’S FLU SEASON Has this seasons bout of cold weather left you feeling under the weather? are you have picked up a common winter ailment: influenza p?pularly called the flu. The flu is an acute, highly contagious respiratory infection caused by the influenza virus. It occurs most often during the late winter months and is spread by direct contact with secretions of the respiratory tract - the nose and the mouth. The disease remains contagious as long as the symptoms persist. The onset of the flu is sudden. The symptoms include chills, muscle aches, joint pains, and headaches. The person may also experience weakness, loss of appetite, vomiting and diarrhea. There is also heavy nasal discharge and persistent coughing. Although there exists no sure fire method to prevent the onset of the flu there are some steps you may take which may lower your chances of contracting the disease. An influenza vaccine is available which gives quick immunity and lasts 6-8 months. Elderly people and persons with any serious illness should be immunized just before the winter season. As always, proper health and nutrition practices go far - they strengthen the immune system. This is beneficial because even if you do contract the flu, the healthier your body, the more efficient you will be at fighting off the virus. If you do develop flu symptoms it is good to know that the disease is a self-limiting one - it runs a definite course within a short, specific time. Unless complications develop, nursing care should concentrate on alleviating the symptoms. Get plenty of rest and drink lots of liquids. There are various complications which may arise if the flu symptoms are left untreated. It may lead to tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, and meningitis. If you suspect that your influenza has escalated to one of the above mentioned diseases see your doctor immediately. In most cases the flu will run its course in about a week. About all you can do is bundle up, stock up on chicken soup and grin and bear it.

Take responsibility!!
Spicer asks by Keith Spicer Chah, Citizen’s hdlue
Fwtm
on Canada’s
The times they are a changin’. But this time its not the young telling the old how change is coming, change is darkly coming by itself. Canada is threatened by social and political disorder for which no one wants to take responsibility, and there are no daysaving heroes or heroines waiting in the wings. There is a serious chance this country may break up along regional and linguistic fault lines, to the surprise and dismay of most of the 26 million spectators. Now is the time for students and all young people - who have the tiost to lose and win - to step otit? the stage and take some responsibility for their future. It’s time for students to take the lead again, because the older generations may have so fouled things up that the country needs an entirely new way of thinking about itself. The Citizen’s Forum on Canada’s Future has been set up to help Canadians discover this new way of thinking - and, perhaps in doing so, discover themselves. The Forum is an independent, non-partisan group of a dozen Canadians with a wide range of backgrounds and beliefs, which has been asked by the government to report by July $1991, on Canadians’ ideas for their country’s future. Think of the Forum as a chance to break an intellectual and emotional logjam as making it possibIe for Canadians to talk to each other again, and particularly to listen to each other again. The Fontm wants to make it easier for all Canadians to he1 reshape their country - and it wi s especially seek out Canadians who aren’t used to speaking up, or speaking out. And it is meant to be an exercise * in grassroots democracy: its emphasis is on listening. In addition to the well-known and vital issue of Quebec, we want to hear about the fundamental but delicate questions politicians often shunt aside. These could include the righti of woken, children, the handicapped, and minorities of all kinds; mulregionalism; evolving ticulturalism; aboriginal rights; a preying society; violence; sagging research; and education and training &fitted to the twenty-first century. The Forum’ especially wants students’ ideas on how to respect the dignity of, and to bring together, groups across Canada feeling left out: westerners, northerners, ethnocultUral Canadians, Atlantic Canadians, and, of course, Quebeckers. It’s not as easy as it used to be to dabble in politics or join crusades for noble causes. Bob Dylan’s celebrated political generation spent more money than you do, and fypically worked less hard at school, because
there was more money then and more jobs were available. When students want to change things today, they must often make personal sacrifices. But your help is crucial in getting Canadians to understand each other better, because ignorance, distrust, and sometimes outright selfishness are killing the country. Don’t think individuals can’t make a difference: I was an overworked, underfunded, even pre-Dylan student when I co-foundedwhat quickly became CUSO. And I worked as a student on the railway while successfully bugging the president of the University of Toronto to set up a course grandly called “Canadian civilization” for foreign students. I know what students can accomplish - their ideals and drive - and, yes, even their “innocence” - are powerful antidotes for the tired cynicism which clogs the brain cells of every establishment. If I have h6pe for Canada, and I have a lot, it’s mainly becausP I believe in the clear-headed idealism, energy and creativity of its young people. Nobody in Canada can make a bigger difference than you if you get out and speak up for your own future. You can and must make yourYou can do this by discusshg Canada with friends, lovers, professors, or anybody with ears then ca.lEng the Forum’s “Idea Line”: l-800~66-FORUM to give us your views. At another level, you can organize a group of five to 20 people to run through one of our two-tothree hour Group Discussion Kts. These can help you define a new future in a free but ftised way that will seriously count in our Final Report. Or, you can send us letters, essays, even theses if you think these will help. You might ask professors to spend a class d&cussing the country. Invite the Forum to come to your campus. To reaIly make thing; happen, some of you could even form student organizing committees for Canada’s Future - as several campuses have. Tlyme could rally large numbers of students into d&w&on groups, make available our kits, and ensure that we get repprting forms’ from every student you could reach either in a group or as an individual. To help us help you, we’ve hired student bison officers who’ve temporarily left their studies to work with you. WelI need a number of students over the next few months to participate in regional and national TV discussions. We’ll be able to use student volunteers on every campus to help promote and run discussions. Many campuses have an education commissioner, or student, who brings in speakers to address a topical political issue. She or he might like to selves heard.

Don’t Gnk you’re dealing with a government bureaucracy. Nearly all of us are from outside the government, and we’re ferociousIy separate from it. We’ve got less than six more months to fulfill our mandate of listening to, and reporting, your views. Whatever you say will appear in some form on July 1 in our Fti Report. The Forum’s members are not bureaucrats or technocrats they’re something like commandos for dialogue, racing the clock to stir Canadians into taIking to and about each other. And into listening to each other. If you were frustrated last June by seeing eleven politicians try to shape Canada’s future behind closed doors, then now is your chance to do it your publicly, powerway - personally, fully. Stand up, speak out, and bear witness to the future you want. You can, of course, stay quiet now. If you do, then later you will have to. endure without complaint the country others will have defined and decided for you. Canada is your country: Act for it today or pay for it’ tomorrow.

The Spicer Commision came to Waterloo Wednesday morning to ask student groups in Ontario to help gather. opinions from Canadian students. Kay McKinna, the newly appointed youth commissioner .began her cross-country quest to find out how students feel about Canadian unity.
While McKinna did answer questions, the main reason she was there was to ask the student representatives to organize sessions with the new Discussion Kit that premiered in New Brunswick last week. wile McKinna wanted students to use the kits and their fourteen questions as “a way oj getting your point of view across,” fhey will not be available just yet. They are now being fine-tuned after being criticized by the media for being overly general in their questions.
Spicer is the variety of life
McKirtna admitted that the commission may very well be “a whitewash . , . but it’s up to you students to see that your point of view gets across. What is in this report is what Mulroney will use.”
The representatives of Ontario student groups who gathered were in agreement on what the barrier to Canadian unity was: Brian Mulroney. One student from York said, “He’s dismantled the CBC, Via Rail . . . everything that held this country together. I really wonder if this government wan& a united Canada.”
One student even questioned the handout, saying that she had seen the time letterhead on PM0 releases, and should she conclude that the commission was biased in favour of the government’s views. The mood was generally cynical and rowdy, with people pounding on desks when anyone criticized Mulroney.

A The other editorial on this page was written on Wedn&ay afternoon, in the quiet time when war was still referred to in the future subjunctive tense. This one has been patched together on Thursday morning as press time looms. Though humtity and reticence have never been qualities which I would assign to myself, in the face of such events words fled me. Staff members turned to me and asked me what I would be writing in thii editorial, I had nothing to say. These events continue to produce a profound numbness. One would think that, given the incredible build-up of tension, and the grim anticipation which infected the thoughts and fears of our planet, the outbreak of war would have prompted emotional outbursts of the highest order. I did not feel, nor did I see these. Instead, I saw only a shocked numbness, I felt only a vast emptiness, an utter incapability to deal or confront the reality of the carnage that had been unleashed Righteous indignation was all but absent in the faces of my friends with whom 1 had spent many hours breast-beating and sermonizing on the topic, and with whom 1 satwatching the telqon coverage unfold for hours and hours on what was suppo5ed to be our production night Inthefaceofthishumancalamity~theanger I saw was directed at political leaden, who seem to produce automatic anger in much of our population anyway.
While the rhetoric emanating from Iraq has been replete with most bloody and imagery, George Bush frightened me to my soul when he spoke of a “new world order / . . for the next 100 years” in hi 9 pm speech last night. A world order built on the re-introduction and use of massive military force is something that I think many would rather not participte in. If 1 have anythtig of substance to say, it would be a grave warning to mistrust news media, especially American stations, whose coverage last night descended into raw jingoism. To hear Tom Brokaw refer to the attacking forces as “we” illuminated the bias which: had crept in. It made it clear that NBC, at least, had become little more than a conduit for US Military information. To some extent, I believe that our Canadian media failed us. All night they failed to challenge the language which was being used. In the early information vacuum, they resorted to bcmsterisxn. As the night went on, the term “allied forces” was increasingly used to describe the ag%ressive force. That the media would allow themselves to become tools of base subterfuge attem@.ng to associate these forces with the “Allied forces” of WWII. This is, of course, a false comparison. This rhetorical tick has been uSed not only to gloss over the moral ambiguities - which surround the use of military force, but further to try arrd fake a unity of intent which may not have existed.
The task has now been left up to you to sift and examine the information which is given to you by our news media. In the next week, there will be more information broadcast and published than you can possibiy ingest. Question it. Will this be a “Liberation of Kuwait?” Can we consider the restoration of a monarchy into a state long accused of human rights violations, a state in which parliamentary democracy has not existed for years, in any way a liberation - or merely a transition from one set of chains to another? Whatever happens, do not let the cool detachment, the arrogance of ‘expert analysis’, in the media fool you into believing that the outbreak of war in the Middle East in an-g less than an utter calamity for h&an&d.

They were there to catch a Cinema Gratis screening of the intellectual classic, Bill and Ted’s Exc&nt Adventure, Meanwhile a group, about a fraction of that size attended a “teach-in” on the Gulf crisis, also in the Campus Centre. Earlier, only a few dozen students attended a talk in Hagey Hall on Canada’s Role in the Gulf. If I didn’t know better I’d think that this was just another Tuesday night rather than the night of the UN-set deadline for Saddim Hussein to withdraw from
Kuwait.
Do the majority of students on campus really care about this issue? Should they be taking up valuable study and leisure time to worry about some squabble in a desert thousands of miles away? The average student probably doesn’t have time to educate him/herself on the complex-- _

And even if everyone dib familiar with the situation, how much can realistically be done about it, especially since the point of no return was passed on Tuesday at midnight? Whatever the answers to the above questions are, the situation at hand remains deadly serious. There’5 a little more at stake here than some oil and a few hundred lives, We’re talking about art inherently devastating war in which the casualties will include Canadian lives, the lives of UN forces, and countless thousands of Iraqi soldiers and innocent civilians (manv who are armed with knives and tools and told to sz~rifice their lives). This is not to mention massive destruction of the entire physical infrastructures of Iraq and Kuwait; including the deva&ation of huge oil reserves. Even the nahxal environment is in grave danger from immense fires, chemical weapons, and the radiation caused by such a huge conglomeration of weapon systems and radar. Somehow, the potential immensity of this conflict tends to make Canadian squabbling over c6nstitutiom and taxes seem a little silly by comparison. Personally, for the past week or so I’ve tended to view everyday events in a different light.. Courses seem that much more have time to become

academic and removed from reality. Everyday pastimes like reading the comic pages, watching a hockey game, and sitting through 90 minutes of Bill and Ed seem, well, a bit meaningless in the shadow of a Gulf war. At this point, however, the’whole idea of a war against Iraq still seems to be unreal and distant. My gefieration has not experienced a major world war, making the current crisis very difficult to Conceptualize. The issue has been further obscured by a myriad of redundant media coverage. The absence of any concrete identification with events in the Middle East is probably as much a factor, as any, in the general lack of concern by students ‘and the general public alike. Those with fiends and relatives in the Persian Gulf, however, will be the first to tell you that this crisis is very real, indeed. And the rest of of us may not tune in until the body bags start being shipped back. Any one care to join me for a B-52 at the Bombshelter?

No more stool To the editor, After reading your page three article entitled “‘WLLJ Admin. squeezes cord” (Jan. ll), we were heartened to find that cleanminded, upstanding citizens of Wilfrid Laurier, both in administration and throughout the student body are talc@ a stand against the filth dumped upon our sensibilities by the writers involved in 27~ Bored. We, the members of SWDS (Students Who Don’t Shit), are dedicated to the elimination of such base instincts. After all, purity of body means purity of mind, Through intense mental discipline at weekly group sessio?, we have eradicated all such physical impulses from our metabolisms. A quick examination of the Davis Centre floor plan will reveal the invisible hand of our organization, where we have lobbied ce&elessly to keep such ‘f&ziIities’ to an absohte minimum. The very fact that the architects managed to squeeze in a few S~CWS the sheer magnitude of our opposition, no doubt carrying out the hidden agenda of those responsible for 2%~ &rti.
The glorification of public defecation on our own campus is both offensive and a continual temptation, not only to our own members, but to aI those who strive for perfect continence. It s our sincere hope that Imprint will not follow the poor example of l%eBored, cleaning up its own act. As if we really didn’t know what you meant by “Groovin’ Choco-Fudge.”

Hey, son, how ya doin’, kiddo? Come on over here and talk to your old man for a while, eh boy? That’s right, come on over and sit with me. Gee, you are gettin’ big, just look at you! Well, I shouldn’t beat around the bush, son, I got some bad news for you. You’re going to have to leave home soon and go on a little trip. Now son, don’t look like that, it’s not that me and your mother want you to go but it’s out of our hands. We, son, are just small cogs in the social wheel. Sometimes things are bigger than us, things like honor, responsibility, fossil fuels, government. Sometimes we can’t think of just ourselves, we got to think of others. So you are going to have to take this tip, my boy, a little trip around this great big ole world of ours. It’ll be hot where you’re goin’, so stop with your frownin’. It’s just like a big beach. lf it was up to me you wouldn’t have to go, but nobody I&tens to your father, not any more. I’ll try and explain it this way, see there’s gonna be war. That’s right son, just like you seen on the VCR, only this is bigger, more audience participation. That’s right son, you get to take part in it all. No, it’s not like video games neither son, just sit stiIl and listen to me. Now you’re going to have to go and do a lot of things and take orders from people who you’d as soon spit on in the street, but you gotta take them orders, and you gotta take

Some of it won’t be pretty for sure, but you better do them, all the same, you got a long line of soldiers behind ya, lot of ‘em in our family, so ya gotta keep the tradition strong, don’t let us down. I don’t have any real experience to relate to ya, but we need to preserve our standard of living so you youngsters gotta go over there and defend it. What . . . Yes, thanks to them feminists over the years your sister will be goin’ with you. Can’t be unfair: to her on account of her gender, she’s got her right to kill and bum as much as you do. Now don’t expect to come back all in one piece, you probably won’t. Oh, you11 lose an arm or some toes or something, everyofie does, it’s part of the game. Your grandfather wasn’t so lucky, he lost half his face and his penis in his war. Sorry son, I don’t have time to go into what a penis is right now, maybe when you’re older well have a talk but right now you got to get set for this adventure. It’s comin’ at you and you can’t do nothin’ to prevent it, so just enjoy what small parts of it that you can. Now, like I said before, I wish that you didn’t have to go, 1 wish there was another way around this but it just ain’t so. No, they that decide these things are too important to do theit own fightin’so we poorer folks gets to go in their place. We go and meet the other important people’s poor folk and then we kill each other for them. No, I don’t think those important people give a damn about us small guys either, but that kind of attitude isn’t goin’ to get you anywhere fast in this world, son, so mind your tongue. Besides we have to have gas or civiLation as we know it would grind to a halt, no more cars or planes, or trains or buses or boats. All our freedom of transit would be squashed, so you got to go and protect it, protect our freedom. Stop cryin’son, I can’t t&e it when you cry. Makes me think I’m askin’ ya to do something terrible, and it ain’t so bad. Sure, you11 have to maim some civilians, bum their houses and you’ll have co go up to’women as sweet as

Then the video cameras focused on the children A few of them spoke. One was a little boy who clearly didn’t like war. He spoke about people’s heads getting blown off. He happened to have two uncIes stationed in the Persian Gulf. When asked about them he only answered with tears. Now. whenever I think abut anything to do with “the Gulf Crisis” and war, I can only picture this little boy. There must be many similar boys and girls, men and women alI over the world, but Thai little boy communicated on their behalf. I finally saw the truth in that boy’s face; he showed tie what it all really means. Tragedy, grief, confusion, fear; and a little boy who cries for his family and a world he does not understand. I feel Iike crying too. I feel so sad; what can I do? If I could, I would have the Ieadezs of all the involved countries, directly and indirectly, meet here with me in my room or in the basement here where I live. I could mediate. They wouldn’t be allowed to leave until they alI found a peaceful solution to whatever prw blems they had. Perhaps a peaceful solution is not possible-but I would demand it! I mean, if I had the power to get them all here with me, I am sure I could demand it. No aides, no bodyguards. Only me, them and a handful of impartial translators. We’d have a party, a peace party . The rules would be simple: peace not violence, friendship, good wilI, honesty and no more crying children.

“Safety on Campus -gender neutral?” To the &itor,
Re: “An open letter to Doug Wright.” I would like to point out to Kim Speers that she does not practice what she preaches. In her open letter to Doug Wright, she states ‘7 would recommend that the Student Committee for Campus Safety use genderneutral language , . .II I would hope that MS Speers realizes that safety on campus should be gender-neutral as well. What does she mean when she states “it (campus security) is an issue and will always be one until every woman can walk through this campus without fed? I hope that MS Speers means “until every person” on this campus, not just every woman, If she really means what she said, then I suggest she resign from her post as safety commissioner for the WIB, and as VicePresident, University Affairs for the Federation of Students. No longer will the students of this University tolerate inequality of any type. You don’t obtain equality for the sexes by reversing the past. We must adopt a policy such that everyone is treated equally, regardless of the past. I hope that safety remains an issue until every person on the campus can walk through it without fear. If this is not what MS Speers is striving for, then I respectfully suggest that she look for a new job.

Religious Harmony and World Peace
Peeved Ph.D.
Even though
the purpose of religion is to and souls of the the peoples of the earth, it is clear that much of the conflict in the world is reIated to religion. One of the advances required of mankind in order to achieve world peace is the &&&ion of religious confIict. This principle is clearly described in the message, A Promise of World RUCP, addressed to the people of the world by bind together
the hearts
the Trustees of the Faith of Baha’ullah. “Religious strife, throughout history, has been the cause of innumerable wars and conflicts, a
major blight to progress,
and is increasingly of all faiths and no
abhorrent to the people faith. Followers of all religions must be willing to face the basic questions which this strife raises, and to arrive at clear answers. How are the differences between them to be resolved, both in theory and in practice? The challenge facing the religious leaders of mankind is to contemplate, with hearts filled with the spirit of compassion and a desire for the truth, the plight of humanity, and to ask themselves whether they cannot, in humility before their Almighty Creator, submerge their theological differences in a great spirit of mutual forbearance that will enable them to work together for the advancement of human understanding and peace.” There is only one unknowable Creator. We all tread the same earth and seek, in our own ways to strengthen our relationship with the Almighty: all religions share these and other similar fundamental truths. The leaders of all faiths have the well-being of their people sincerely at heart- they must set aside their differences and work together for the sake of the well-being of aI1 humanity. More information on the basic unity and harmony which binds together the spiritual foundation of all religions is available from your local Baha’i community.

TO the Editor, I was not very impressed with Kim Speer’s “open letter” to Doug Wright. It could be argued that Safety First didn’t’ do its homework on what had already been done regarding safety issues on campus, or maybe even that it didn’t consult appropriate bodies, but these failings don’t warrant Speers’ haughty
and dism&sive attack. Safety First is comprised of sincere and well-intentioned individuals and should have received Ms. Speers’ full support. Instead, she saw fit to turn the issue into a dispute over turf. It’s nice to know that students’ elected representatives are more interested in their political careers that substantive issues. Also, the crack about sexist language (without furnishing examples) was a cheap shot. Shame on you, Kim!
P.S. Physical redesign and eduation sexism are not mutually exclusive.

Mason is morally confused To the editor,
Firstly, Mason begins with the erroneous assumption that Iraq is a third workl nation. Of course, it makes it easier to condemn the UN action if portrayd as the a&powerful forces of Western imperialistic evil imposing their ‘hegemony” on a downtrodden third world nation. But Mason does not realize that Iraq is one of the richer nations in the world, with abundant natural resources and a relatively high standard of living. Iraq’s massive armed forces are themselves a testament to the wealth of the country. This is not a case of first versus third world. Mason then goes onto say that the merits of any criticisms of Iraq are “outweighed by the mischief and obfuscation cause by a condemnation of Iraq.” I do not see what is mischievous about condemning the invasion of one sovereign nation by another, or the horrifying atrocities being committed, such as the slaughter of civilians. I also do not see the obfuscation in demanding that Iraq withdraw from Kuwait, period; no linkage and no concessions. Instead, the obfuscation come from Mason in trying to slough off Iraq’s actions by pointing to violations the US has in the past made of internationar law or questioning the Us’
motives.
Of course, the US is concerned with protecting economic interests in the Gulf, but
.
invaded without warning, suddenly under the pretense of reclaiming Iraq’s natural territory. Mason claims to be recognizing the “present reality,” but his article is full of distorting unrealities which faiI to recognize Iraq’s invasion for what it is: a barbarous act in violation of international law. To preserve the integrity of international law and the UN, it must be unequivocally condemned with the necessary steps taken to back up that condemnation.

the entire world also has vital interests there. It would be extremely dangerous to allow such economic power, as represented in the region’s oil reserves, to fall within the hands of such a power-hungry dictitor. Also, if the UN reaction were of the weak, morally confused naturq Mason would seemingly want, Saudi Arabia would probably be next on Saddam’s list. I am sure a host of similar rationalizations could also be dredged up to avoid condemning such’ an invasion. Mason justifies the Iraqi invasion by point-

Grad Gift Raffle
by Alexander N. Rink special to Imprint Right now, you are probably ail wondering, ‘What is the 1991 Grad Gift Raffle?” Well, let me give you a bit of background. In past years, tradition has dictated that the graduating classes contribute a gift of some sort upon graduation in appreciation for all the hard work and good times that have become such an integral part of student life at the University of Waterloo. Generally, these gifts have been presented individually from each of the faculties to such worthy recipients as the University, the community, or some other charitable organization. The main purpose of the gift is to improve the way of life of, or produce some benefit to, the recipient. Notable grad gifts from previous years have included the events board outside the Campus Centre, an automatic door-opener for the handicapped on the Math Building, and a contribution of $6,000 to the KW Illiteracy Foundation. This year, the graduating classes from the Engineering, Mathematics, and Science FacultiTs are trying
something a little different. Rather than each raising their own funds and contributing a few smaller gifts, the 1991 Grad Gift Committee, composed of two members from each of fhe three participating faculties, is trying to pool its resources and raise enough money to donate one larger grad - gift. - The main method that will be used to raise the amount of money necessary to offer this gift will be the 1991 Grad Gift Raffle. Even as you read this article, tickets for this first-ofits-kind lottery are now on sale in the Engineering Math, and Science Society offices and from many committed student sales agents. Here are the prizes: Grand Prize: A Marlin Travel gift certificate for a one week trip for two to the Play Dorada Princess Hotel and Casino in the Dominican Republic; Second Prize: A SHARP GXCD75 portable stereo with CD player from Krazy Kelly’s; Third Prize: A 1991 Schtinn “Outlands” mountain bike from Homefit; 4th - 15th Prizes: Gift certificates from East Side Mario’s, HlVfV, Gus Maue Sports, and the UW Campus Shop.
UW names waste management official from UW News Bureau Patricia Fraser plans to clean up in her role as the University of Waterloo’s first waste mnagement coordinator. Fraser, who was previously a senior buyer with UW’s purchasing department, is now responsible for carrying out the recommendations of the campus waste management task force. As well, she will be consulting and recommending a “philosophy for adoption by the university that would provide the framework for our waste management priorities,” said Bob Elliott, associate provost for general services S~t,~,-:,~’ -7ctr l-n~,‘l:!*q on called four R’c - reduction, reuse, lW@lg ‘, cl ClbrLtin., -ewe, recycl& BILL recovery.

Among the challenges of the position will be to ensure that faculty, staff, and students have the”same commitment” to waste management, Elliott said. The task force spent last spring and summer studying the ‘issue and issued a report last fall. At the time, Elliott said that waste management is a university-wide challenge, not one just for individual departments, and would require the attention of a campus-wide coordinator. The report said the amount of waste diverted into recycling programs represents only “a small percentage of what the tonnage could be.‘% tid attention should be paid to “altering traditional consumer buying habits” to reduce waste, and urged UW to expand its existing recycling programs.

A‘India’s beaaina business by Angela Heeds Imprint staff The baby hung IimpZy over her shudder. She was anly two and a liarfed tdl and maybesix years old and the child in her arms must have weighed 15 pounds. She was thin and barefiot, running beside me aZong the hot und oppressively dirty strm of Delhi. I had just arrived in India ufter an odyssey-like 24”hour journey and I had tine @the rupees she wunted. One hand with fmgemuils uf chipped, red nuil@lish clutched my skirt, the other touched her mouth and then stretched, open-paEn& in .@nt of me. I understood - she was hungry; her baby was hungry. Shesh@& him to her other arm exposing his genitals.His head urchedoverher arm; he did not move. Perhups he was dead. Where did she get that baby, I thought. And who is that man walking beside us and what k he saying to her? The sight of beggars on the streets of Delhi is a constant emotional drain. They are maimed, diseased, emaciated. They are often children or have children with them. But rather than handing out onerupee notes indiscriminately, refusing to give to anyone or arbitrarily giving to the most aggressive or pitiful looking beggar, I found myself searching for some rationale not to give to them. When approached by beggars, I was hit with a barrage of emotions - pity, disgust, guilt. At first, my refusal to pay out was actually a denial of these emotions but later I discovered that, for a number of reasons, giving to beggars defeats the purpose. After all the rationales and arguments, I still felt the internal cringe of emotion when I looked at them, but what came out of this moral deliberation was a policy I could live by. I couldn? use the common student excuse, ‘I can’t afford it,’ since 50 cents, meaningless to me, to them meant feeding a family for two days. I may be living under the poverty line in my’ own country, but in India I was materially very rich. Recognizing this fact made it very difficult to refuse any beggar. The maimed beggars had to be the most throat-tightening. Especially when I found out that parents scar, cripple and mangle their children so that they may profit more throughout their begging life. In fact, the maiming has become such a “business” that people are said to be employed as maimers -perhaps being paid according to their originality. The beggars are engaged in a sick disfigurement competition, sores are encouraged to infect and fester, and children play dead. But how can one tel.I if the injury is legitimate? Although health care in India is free, it is often inaccessible and overcrowded. With no social welfare system India’s disabled and dseased people have little choice but to beg. Though we did see a few disabled entrepreneurs with street-side businesses, these endeavors are hardly more
profitable
than

busi-
ness. One man with no legs in M&ali provided the service, for five rupees, of the use of his weigh scales. But he was an unusual case - begging income being comparable to unemployment insurance, though certainly not as

generous or stable. So, why get a job if you are being paid more to stay unemployed? _ Not to suggest that these beggars would not readily accept a job were it there for the taking. Rather, f&ding the begging industry perpetuates a corrupt system that has no long-term benefits. There are many disparities within India - a mere 10 per cent of the population compri‘ses the middle class and tourists only make the material gaps more apparent. It is not uncommon to find huge, luxury hotels virtually around I the corner from cardboard slums. As was probably
the case with
the lit-
tle girl who approached me that first day, the “employment” of beggars by a pimp of sorts is common. My solution &as to give food to ensure that the handout did not fill the pimp’s pocket but instead the beggar’s hungry stomach.
To make sure that it was not resold it was often necessary to peel the banana, for instance or open the packaging. In India’s cities, I also experienced aggressive mobs of beggars who seemed to appear out of nowhere. Though they were only small children their aggressiveness was offensive, shocking, and frightening. It was difficult to resist the overwhelming urge to give to them in the hopes that they would disperse. They approached apecting handouts. Afterward, I had to ask myself, do I, as a rich westerner, not owe these people something? Low export

con-
tribute to my high standard of living. By participating in our consumer society I am indirectly exploiting this country. True, I’m not the only one benefiting, but should I not look at these contributions as just another income tax
given voluntarily to equalize the income disparities in the world? But as the old adage “it is better to teach someone how to fish than to buy their dinner” suggests, it would be better to give the money to grassroots organizations that have proven effective ways of helping people help themselves. Handouts teach children that may not need to beg, that an open palm is an easy way to get a few rupees. This money could lead these children to a lifetime membership among the impoverished beggars pacified with subsistence payments, Though India is a democracy, everyone there does not have an equal opportunity to succeed. A rigid social structure and lack of access to basic education and health care are among the many impediments to social mobility. Minimum survival payments will not change these circumstances nor lend any hope to the children’s futures. This view is not a western one. During our stay in Leh, in the very north of India, an isolated and beautiful cold desert which has been “open” to tourists for only seven years, we were encouraged by local organizations not to give to beggars. These organizations had been formed to attempt to protect the indigenous culture of the Ladakhk which was being adversely affected by the influx of luxury hotels and adventure-seeking tourists. These tourists, always so quick to toss a rupee note into an open palm, had begun to condition the children to beg even when they had no real need. The better solution then, accepting that for now we cannot change the worldwide income disparities, is to research a reliable international organization and fund them either with donations, volunteer work or by sponsoring a child. The results are much more promising and long term in effect. One of the members of our study group in India did set up a bank account for a recently orphaned child to provide her with food, clothing and a good education. For the duration of my trip I usually gave-food to beggars - faced with a starving person what would you do? and money only to leprosy victims. But even self-made policies that make sense intellectually are hard to deal with emotionally. Sometimes I was so overwhelmed that it was easier to reach into my pocket for some loose change than to deal with the moraI issue and guilt at hand. I did not give anything to that six year-old on that first day in Delhi but my companion bought her some fruit and I took her picture, thinking how I wanted to try to share those feelings I went through, looking at her, with people at home that couldn’t be there. I know that if I’d had currency that day I would have given it to her out of desperation to- assuage my own guilt.

I wil/ not.” (From an open letter, New York Times, 23 August 1990) As I write this piece, only hours remain before the United Nations ~ffk@dly authorizes the use of force against Iraq. We are on the brink of a truly massive war. The Washington-based Center for Defense Information (CDI) estimated that a three-month war would kill 65,000 people, and injure 250,000 more. These estimates, however, do not
apply to a regional conflict involving Israel, nor do they account for the use of any of the hundreds of nuclear weapons that have been gathered in the gulf region. Neither assumption is likely to obtain. Saddam has advertised well that Israel will be his first target, and Israel has promised a strong defense. This will change the whoIe character of the current alliance facing Iraq. Even in Egypt and Syria, who have mobilized troops against him, Saddam can muster strong pop-
ular support. The Mubarak regime is partitularly vulnerable. The assassination of Rift Mahjoub, the speaker of the Egyptian parliament, betrays the depth of the crisis in that pro-Western country. Syria has already stated that it will withdraw from the coalition if Israel becomes involved. But there 1s much more. In Jordan, Yemen, Sudan, Algeria, the West Bank, ‘Lebanon, Tunisia, and Iran, tens of thousands have demonstrated in the streets against the US. Iratian spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed to align with Iraq and to drive foreigners out of Saudi Arabia and to topple the Saudi royal family. Similarly, according to the Econumist, powerful religious Ieaders in Sudan, Algeria, and Tunisia have also promised to support Iraq in the event of war. The war with Iraq will quickly turn into a world war, with Arab states fighting Western Europe and North America. Further, no one has eliminated the option of nuclear weapons. In fact, one British military official has positively hinted that Britain would use so-called “theatre” nuclear weapons if Iraq employs chemical weapons on western troops, which is likely. Amazingly, given the enormous death and

destruction entailed by war with Iraq,George ‘Bush seems intent on starting one. And for what? John Mason, in his feature in last week’s Imprint,was correct and blunt: “The US does not give a damn about international law.” So was Lawrence Korb, a former US assistant Secretary of Defense: “if Kuwait grew carrots we wouldn’t give a damn.” Senator pobert Dole spelled it out: “America is in the region for one reason and one reason only: 0-I-L” And the editorial writers for Business Week spoke for most of the mling elite when they wrote that “oil is worth going to war for.” Though leagues deeper than the mainstream press, this analysis is still too superficial to permit a ful1 understanding of the crisis. For one of Washington’s greatest fears is that Saddam might declare peace unilaterally. The US will not leave the gulf region before Saddam is ousted, and the Iraqi army is pulverized. In Navweek Bush was startlingly frank: “Iraq can never again be in a position to threaten the survival of its neighbours or our vital interests.” Why? To begin, John Mason is wrong to say that the “new world order is really Bush’s world order/The “new world order” is a multilateral system in which the US is a declining econotic power relative to Japan and the reunited Germany. But the US remains a military giant. And what their intervention in
respect that have been steadily evaporating across the Middle East.” But the US is not interested ’ just the Middle East, nor has its rep $ tiw as an imperialist threat waned only her&. “Operation Desert Shield” represetits the Iatest manifestation in the long process of recovery from the “Vietnam Syndrome.” Their defeat in 1973 d&aIt a huge blow to American foreign policy. It cannot be overstated just how important the domestic opposition was in extending that defeat. The anti-war movement, which had gaIvanized millions of people into real political a&ion, effectively illegjtbized the’ use of American troops abroad. Thus, in 1979, two of America’s most brutal client states, Somoza’s Nicaragua and the Shah’s Iran, were toppled. This infuriated many people who knew that, militarily, the US could have handily squashed both revolutions. Since that time, however, the US has slowly and carefuily been reasserting its might overseas. The invasion of Grenada, the bombing of Libya, the sponsorship of the Contras, and the recent invasion of Panama - in which US bombs, according to 60 Mimtes, killed bet:veen 4,000 and 7,000 civilians. These are all part of a process through which the US government haq sought to regain theability to use its military to defend ‘q international l

We must protect democracy, like the democracy of Kuwait, carved out of the sand by tie British in the 192Os, where women are stoned to death for adultery, where torture is commonplace, where political prisoners are executed, where parliament has been suspended for years. Brian Mulroney tells us we can’t put a cap on spending in the defence of democracy, hence the commitment of over !§600 million, the domestic cuts, the purchase of 800 fresh body bags, and the messages of regret to the millions of Canadians. officially under the poverty line, the hungry children, the home-

It must take half one’s waking hours just to fight down the sheer inconsistency, if, that is, we can assume a conscience that, sadly, may not exist. Racism takes a toll on even its most ardent supporters. It must be hard work to make this fight fit the word defence, Let us demonstrate pride in our wise leaders, so determined and principled to travel that extra mile for peace. I do admit, they have the knack of persuading people that the maiming and death of their loved ones is the price to be paid for the defence of democracy, in the good fight against tyranny. Mind you, the loyalty of the media to democracy and peace eases the toil this onerous task demands, if only somewhat. We can be thankful that convincing the enemy of our noble goal is as simple as saturation bombing of populated area. We all have to make moral choices, and from time to time take sides. That is why, our leaders teIl us, they will not permit Iraq to gain from its brutal occupation of Kuwait. No truck or trade with the enemy. The new international order, promising an era of respect for law, decency and cooperation - that kinder, gentler world - will not tolerate another Hitler, another madman poised to extend his dark shadow over all the globe.

demonstrated brutality, but who now struggle with the profound responsibility of deciding whether or not to send thousands of other people to their deaths in order to neutralize this threat. Strange how the equally profound burden of enforcing international law did not figure in the minds of George Bush, his advisers or his ambassador to Baghdad who stated that the U.S. would have “no opinion” whetiasked by Iraq what its response to an invasion of Kuwait would be, or the people at the CIA who knew of the invasion plans a week before the event. They remind us, in such humble resignation, how their resolve is not weakened even though these awesome burdens fall disproportionately upon their shoulders. But these responsibilities are assumed only selectively, and that they fail to mention. While U.S. client states run rampant over whole nations, slaughterin% thousands, not a whimper of protest is heard from the men of princi@le and cqurage or their free and ever vigilant press which manages to silence even the cries of the victims. The contest to see who can scale the heights of hypocrisy has many contenders, but thankfully there is plenty of room at the top. Sitting there now are scores of Canadian apobgisk for official terror led by the likes of Joe Clark, Brian Mulroney and Stephen Lewis, who, in his capacity as UN Ambassador, among other achievements, helped frustrate c‘ontinuous attempk by the people of East Timor to bring to the eyes of the international forum the brutal and ongoing occupation of their once independent natiqn by the Indonesian military which, with American and Canadian arms and political cover, invaded Timor in 1975 presiding over the deaths of at least 200,000 of that tiny nation’s inhabitants. The Mulroney government’s current passion for international law turned ik blind eye to the U.S. invasion of Panama with its bombing of civilian neighbourhoods, was muted at best throughout the years of illegal US. aggression against Nicaragua, and permitted trade with the Apartheid regime -illegal and crim&l under UN covenank this government itself has signed - to increase dramatically every year. It is very unlikely that this principled group of men and women will call for sanctions against Israel, let alone sup pt the threat or use of massive violence to make it quit Palestinian lands. Win American and Arab people, very few of them anyway, speak perfect English or sport white skin. The racism is complete. So I do not call upon the Canadian govemment to return to ik traditional role as a peacemaker, for it has no such tradition, as murdered Kurdish children would tell YOU, if only the dead could speak It was our “peace” government that approved for export to Iraq the Canadian made engines that powered the helicopters which dropped the poison gas into their villages. For years Canada has been preparing for war in the gulf, twning v& areas of native lands into simulated combat zones (simulated, that is, unless you happen to be one of the native people whose land has been stolen) in order to ensure that our boys are prepared - to make killers out of human
beings. And I will not support sanctions against Iraq for I want no part of the racism and hypocrisy that their selective application entails. There is a moral choice to be made, Do we 4 dlow oumelves to become part of this violence or do we withdraw our consent? We , do not have to kill or die for the state or for the corporations. Disagreement, however, is not enough in a culture where passivity is encouraged and exploited as support. Withdrawal of consent to the killing of citilians whose only crimes are constituted by their skin colour proximity to “our oil” must be active. It must also be non-violent to sucteed, to create a moral climate where such state violence cannot occur with impunity, to risk suffering and sacrifice but to do no violence, to defeat war on the home front. It is entirely appropriate to rage against this outrage. In a society where conventional power is concentrated in a political and economic elite with at1 its apologists and experts and its own consensus on how much blood to alow in the gasoline, the withdrawal of consent is expressed most clearly, I believe, through the denial of cooperation to the institutions that benefit from this order and administer the violence that perpetuates it. But they have that \ power because we give it to them. We hand these butchers the axe on the silver platter of our obedience. And if we want to tie the hands , that wield the axe then, it seems to me, it is that obedience which we must withdraw. You need no expert status, just the basic notions of right and wrong, a conscience. For such reasons, people of faith and people of good conscience are making moral choices to deprive war of its support. We have ’ the responsibility to do no less. By all means we must write letters, sign petitions, call MPs, but we must also indicate that our protest will only escaIate as the demands remain unmet. What will we do if they say no? Better yet, don’t give them the opportunity to do so. People are, I sense, more and more abandoning the notion that there is salvation in praying to the government, in asking it to stop the bombing when the answer is no. Let us also petition our own consciences and assume a personal responsibility for what goes on in our society. IRf us decide for ourselves and not forsake our moral choices or hand them off only to be made for us by the same government officials who manage and administer the misery we protest Tax resistance and non-violent direct actions are now in the minds of many anti-war citizens. One voice has been clear above the din clamoring for war, preparing us for the return of young men and women in body bags and arguing that a pledge not to use nucIear weapons would be “counterproductive to peace.“Extemal Affairs Minister Joe Clark has pushed hard for war and I hope his efforts to ingratiate himself to James Baker have succeeded because the Department of External Affairs has proven to be a leading international force in the headlong rush into war. As such, I am asking all of you to consider ‘joining with myself and others in Ottawa on Monday when we will close that building down, .

Imprint staff During the hours leading up to the United Nations’ deadline on Tuesday (January 15), Wilfrid Laurier University sponsored an allday Teach-ir-2 on the Gu~Crisis which featured five sessions. The sessions were entitled “The Role of the Media in the Gulf,” “Views and Perspectives on the Gulf,” “Oil and other interests in the Gulf,” “Images of the Enemy,” and “Canada’s Role in the Gulf.” The Teach-in, which was organiied by WLLJ’s United Nations’ club, was held in the Turret, Wilfrid Laurier’s student pub, which was crammed with a few hundred interested students, faculty, and members of the cummunity at large, along with a swarm of radio, televisiqn, and newspaper journalists. The 6pening session was a roundtable session on lk Role of the Me& in the Guywith panelists Ann Medina, longtime CBC Middle East Correspondent, Bruce Gushing, Senior Producer of. CBC’s 224 Journal, media critic Barrie Zwicker, and Israeli journalist Tamar Meroz Each of the speakers was allowed 10 minutes for opening comments, then a brief period to respond, expand, or elaborate upon others’ comments. The opening speakers were Cushing and Medina, who presented different slants on similar themes; the journalist as witness, the potential difficulties which may be faced in attempting to adequately cover the crisis, and the danger of “conduitry” - becoming merely outlets for propaganda - in journalism. Perhaps it would have worked better had the two voices of ‘official’ media not spoken in succession. As it was Batie Zwicker, who usually has enough trouble confining himself to his allotted time period, had twice the material to which he wished to respond. He was consequently twice as scattered in his discursive pro-cesses, A point of some salience, given recent comments from the US Armed Forces was made by CushinG who stated that, since Vietnam, the trend during military actions has been to limit and restrict media access. In the FalkIands, the British did it. In Grenada and Panama, the US did it. The obvious logic is that it is easier to affect the content of news reports by restricting the information flow at its outset, rather than trying to censor and discredit once sensitive information’has become public.

try to prevent injustice altogether. But to do SO, we must not prejudge the future, as though we play no part in shaping it. What couId be more deflationary than a statement like this: ‘Tomorrow will Qkely bring new Panamas, Grenadas, or even Viet Nams”? That is to say, the world will always be ruled by the armed services of Washington-based, international capital accumulation. This sort of self-fulfilling pessimism may satisfy those who are able, or else who simply prefer, to withdraw from world events. But not only does it fail to explain the exceptional challenges to American hegemony, it is contrary to popular experience. Already thousands of Canadians and millions around the world have realized that they can no longer sit idly by.
‘%itulfor students whofeel strongly about peace tu sturt doing something about it”
Many of these people are offended that unemployed American youths from the depressed “rust belt” states are being used to defend a system of exploitation that give them nothing. . Others object to the idiocy of liberating supposedly innocent Iraqis and Kuwaitis by bombing and shooting as many of them as possible. Others refuse to cooperate when their ovemment tells them that there is no money Bor schooIs, hospitals, day care, housing and the fight against poverty, but finances a reckless war from these already squeezed programs.
Given this set of circumstances, he suggested that news media might have to turn to listening posts in the conflict region in order to get a sense of the extent and the development of the armed conflict. Ms. Medina was even more forceful in her analysis, declaring that she was “very pessimistic” about the ability of journal& to fulfill role as “witnesses” to events. She pointed out instances in which journalists have abandoned this role, and have depended upon information supplied through official sources. . . information which turned out to be false. She warned of the danger that journalists might become tools used in duplicitbus government disinformation campaigns. As a method of ensuring that coverage, though lacking in particulars, ,might maintain a sort of balance Medina suggested that journalists be posted to report ‘propaganda’ from all sources. Thus, a journalist reporting with the Palestinian Liberation Organization leadership might be able to gain insights, or information to balance the official reporting from UN sources. A constant topic of discussion during the session was the differentiation between American and Canadian news reporting. It was repeatedly stated that Canadian foreign corr&pondents have more input into the content of their reports, whereas American COI; respondents are given direction by their superiors in New York and Washington, who are isolated from the events. Rambling aimlessly across a thematic terrain which touched many points of reference from the philosopher Thomas Bailey to Bart Simpson, Barrie Zwicker railed against the “false dichotomization” which news media uses to simplify stories and make them easier for the public ‘to digest. He also claimed that “most news stories are written in advance,” based on prejudgments made by reporters, who then sift information to justify their biases. Zwicker mocked the mainstream media’s shoulder-shrugging attitude of “well we’re not perfect, but we do a pretty good job.” In the most provocative single statement of the forum, Zwicker stated that “there is more truth in one episode of Z&z Simpsuns than in a month of CBC news.” Of course, Ms. Medina and Mr. Gushing took the time to reject this statement. Some protest all efforts to make the world safe for monarchy and the right-wing regimes that the US favours, and which the US WilI be able to promote worldwide if, and only if, they emerge victorious from the Gulf. If the US does not win this war, they will lose with it the cutting edge of any threat to intervene in countries that act independently of American interests, Not more Panamas, but more Nicaraguas, would likely result. For all of these reasons, the US and other western troops must be withdrawn. This is requisite for peace, not just in the Gulf region, but in the world at large. If we allow the US to reassert its role as “world’s cop,” the stability they would enforce would not be one of peace, but a more systematic violence than ever before. There is a rapidly growing anti-war movement in Canada, the US, and all over Europe. Activists are putting pressure on their own governments to prevent a war. Many of these people have ngt newly politicized. This is highly reminiscent of the Vietnam era. Then, the role of literally a few students at the beginning of the war was instrutiental and cannot be underestimated. In these sorts of campaigns, students can play a special role. Since the university environment allows greater exchange of ideas and permits more spare time than most people enjoy, students often raise the issues and organize around them first. And it is here that broader opposition will be first legitimized and large social movements initiated. It is vital, then, for students who feel strongly about peace and justice to start doing something about it. On campuses across the US, and Canada too, students are organizing sit-ins, teach-ins,demonstrations, vi&, forums - whatever they feel is effective to get their message across. There are many reasons to call for the troops to get out of the gulf. Whatever your reason may be, I would ask you to pause and think about the changing world and whether it is worth your while to play an active role in it. Think about how you could work with others to stop what could be the most horrible war in modem history.
She pointed out that early on, Israeli teletision had broadcast a series of interviews with citizens from Amman, Jordan and Cairo, Egypt which examined the common attitude among Muslims that Saddam Hussein is the liberator of Arabs. The open question period which followed produced lively debate on topics such as the Israeli media’s coverage of the Infatidah, the trend toward sensationalist jingoism, and CNNS role as a dipIomatic go-between.
The final speaker was Ms. Tamar Meroz, an Israeli Journalist who reiterated Zwicker’s assertion that newspapers are instrumental in fostering a “we and them” attitude toward world conflict situations. Though she was accused of glorifying the Israeli press, she claimed that the Israeli press operates much more on the principle of moral accountabilty rather than the North American credo of “objective reporting.”

The invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by Kary Mullis, a scientist at Gel-us Corporation in California was, if anything. a major breakthrough in molecular biology. The application of this technology in which a small piece of known DNA, the hereditary material of all living organisms, is amplified to produce millions of copies, has had a profound effect on other areas of biology. When the first paper was published on the technique in 1985, it described the problem of how to find a point mutation that led to sickle-cell anemia Other researchers have used it to identify the mutation in cysticfibrosis and jist last year, the isolation of the gene that determines the sex of the fetus in humans. Newborn babies can be diagnosed for HIV, the virus correlated with the development of AIDS in affected individuals. HIV can be found in low amounts in some people, incorporated in their DNA, which PCR can amplify and pr.oduce enough of for analysis by conventional detection methods. DNA or genetic fingerprinting, in which small amounts of DNA from any type of biological sample such as semen, skin, blood, and hair, is made possible by PCR It has allowed police and forensic scientists to identify individuals leaving traces of such materia1. Ecologists have used the technique to create DNA fingerpiints subsequently build up and evolutlunary pathways of animal populations The principle r)t PCK i5 rather simple It I . IJ of the
ability of DNA to seek and bind to another piece of DNA, the target sequence. The “seeking” DNA pieces are actually oligonucleotides called primers and bind to the regions on either side of a single-stranded target sequence. An enzyme called DNA pu&merdse, required for DNA replication, is added and the target sequence is copied by adding to the primer strand. The newly-replitiated doubIe-stranded DNA is separated by heating the mixture and more primers are added, binding to the 01 %ginaI and copied sequences.
Polymerase and heat are added again and the cycle repeated. The products of each cycle increase exponentially; 20 cycles would give you a million cop& from one strand. The conception of this technique will likely open up new possibilities for research in molecular hiol~gy. To undemtand its influence, one only ha: to lnarvei thdt c)\/~‘I 2OUll papers have been published in the last two years that have cited PCR in their methods, according toDr. Jack Paslcrnak. a UW molecular biologist.

Pugwash ago, when
the first
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were produced, scientists concluded that this gas was completeIy harmless. This supposition remained widespread until CFCs were detected in the atmosphere in the early 70s. We are now more aware of how unsafe these chemicals actually are. And &.lwqh CFCs are a relatively simple type of chemical compound, scientists are still unsure exactly what reactions do occur when they are released into the environment. Most biologists would agree that potential problems arising with a genetically engineered organism would be much more complex than those caused by CFCs. Chemicals have definite properties that are consistent, whereas the nature of a living organism is known to change over time. When scientists engineer an. organism for a particular task, what are their responsibilities to society? What is safe? What should be considered safe? How much laboratory wurk should be dedicated to prove, beyond a reasonslble doubt, that the organism or chemical will not cause a dra&ic chain reaction? How many incalculable hazards can our fragile environment cope with? Geneticists will be able to fully account for all these possibilities. If such organisms can evolve and survive an initially destructive environment. thev could pose a major problem to the biosphere. Geneticists in the mid 70s attempted to improve human digestive efficiency. There is a bacterium currently in the human intestines that is responsible for breaking down starch into simpler sugars. By modifying this bacterium, geneticists found they could enable the organism to reduce and use a type of sugar that isn’t normally used in humans. This sugar is cellulose, and is found in all plants. If we were able to digest cellulose, it might be theorized, many of the world’s food problems could be solved. New products would hit the market, such as edible wood chips for those who aren’t satisfied with the crispness of potatoes. Cereal revolutions would make Crispix look like a soggy substitute. And since paper is made from trees, you could eliminate a few of the hazardous chemicals used in making paper and ink, and snack on your Poli-Sci text if you got hungry in the middle of your lectures. On top of this, we would need to eat considerably fewer fruits and vegetables for our daily energy requirements. The introduction of such an organism could eliminate world hunger almost instantaneously. Soon aftenvard we could see a regeneration of forests in land once needed for farming because we would consume less food. With that might well come a
of global ending.

However, after manipulating the organism to the stage where it would be introduced to a person for testing one of the scientists noted bubble2 forming on the side of the beaker housing the organisms. The bubble; turned out to be carbon dioxide, pro duced in quantities that would cause us to swell like balloons if we were tc eat fibrous products. This was a obvious problem, which would have been easily and definitely testable Other organisms, however, mighr produce more indirect complicatiorw in the environment which scientisti would have more difficulty defin@ and which might prove to be more than just inconvenient. On the other hand, creating new organisms could be helpful in clean tig up the environment if problem! become worse. Groups of geneticistr are working on the creation 0 organisms which will help clean ul in; a:or 1prispills. If they create a bat terrum which thrives solely on crudr oil and produces a manageable by product, could we deny its use? I would be especially helpful after dis asters, such as the Exxon Valdez spill the environmental repercussions 0 which are still making nationa news. And ifan organism could digest oil why not plastics? Plastics, after aI1, an only a structured form of oil whid today is not biodegradable. Plastid packaging currently takes hundred! of years to reintegrate itself into, tht environment, A bacterium could br used to, significantly reduce thr amount of plastics which remain ix the environment after our consump tion. Genetically engineered organism could provide solutions to problem: such as ground water pollution, con verting acidic lakes into life supporting lakes, creating man nutritious food, making seaweed tha tastes good, and many others. We may never be able to identifl everything that threatens thl environment, and it is quite possible that organisms introduced into tha environment today may wreak havoc in the biosphere tomorrow. We mus keep in mind that CFCs seemed like i simple safe answer half a century aga Genetic engineering may provide i crutch to todays’s problems, but it i: likely that its products will not pro vide permanent solutions. ,Perhaps, though, there is anothe question we must ask ourselves.

Duarte paced the attack for Waterloo with 21 points, including a flawless g-for-8 at the free-throw line. Moore drained 17 points and ripped down nine rebounds, while freshman sensation Sean VanKoughnett added 14. “There’s no question that Sean carried us offensively through the preseason, so it was nice to see some other guys step in and do the job for US,” said McCrae. Top scorers for Lakehead were Leslie Ragguette and Ray Foster with
18 and 15 points respectively. Saturday night, the two teams seemed to switch performance roles. Fueled up on a good night’s sleep with no jet lag, the Nor’Westers jum-

Nonetheless, for their part, the Warriors are gearing up for what have always been two key games of the regular season. “First place is on the line,” said Warrior captain Clark Day, who feels his teammates are prepared for the matchup. “We’ve been slowly but surely building.” Last weekend, both the Warriors and the Hawks tuned up for the showdown by making life %iierable for the hapiess Queen’s Golden
Gaels. The Warriors buried the visiting Gaels 4-O on Sunday afternoon after the Hawks had defeated them 62 the night before. Wmior head coach Don McKee felt that the Queen’s side, now winless in 11 outings, had run out of gas after playing Laurier. “They (Queen’s) played well for the first 10 minutes of each periud, then fell back,” said McKee. The Warriors built up a 3-O margin after one period and then a four-goal flurry in the last two minutes and 33 seconds of the second period put the game out of reach.

Plague tops Warrior
Volleyball,
by Bill Falshaw
Imprint sports
and Rich Nichol
The Black Plague’s national ranking slipped a notch to fifth this week as a result of a fourth place finish in last weekend’s Wesmen Invitational at the University of Winnipeg. Although Waterloo did not finish in the medals, you must still consider the weekend a success considering the elite competition present. The tournament boasted nationallyranked teams from Manitoba, Laval, Waterloo, and Saskakhewan. UW lost a hard fought bronze medal match to the host Wesmen, 3-1 (16-17,12-E, 16-14,14-l@,whilethe Lava1 Rouge et Or moved up to first in the nation by beating last week’s number one ranked Manitoba Bisons
pool
in the championship match, 3-U. This was reminiscent of Laval’s shocking sweepof the arrogant Bisons in the gold medal match at last year’s CIA&. The Warriors, expected to dominate their pool, got off to a slow start Friday afternoon, losing their first match to the Saskatchewan Huskies, 3-2. Waferloo won the first two games by comfortable margins of 157 and 15-9. But the stubborn Huskies refused to surrender and made a remarkable recovery, tiing three in a row, (15-12, 16-14, 17-16), to win the hard-fought opener. The power hitting tandem of Steve and Scott Smith paced the attack for UW with 29 and 24 kills respectively. Furious of having a match stolen right out of their hands, the Plaguesters screamed into match tie Saturday night with a vengeance and victimized the University of Victoria, 3-O (15-2, 15-7, 15-l). UVic’s quick
play, loses bronze medal death was the work of Scott, Steve, and Shawn Smith with nine, eight, and seven kills.
At high noon on Saturday, Waterloo edged the host Wesmen, 32. The Warriors controlled game 1, 15-7, and the Wesmen rebounded to win the next two games, 15-11 and 16-14. Then the mighty Plague used a , deceptive net attack to clinch the
match, winning games four and five, 15-12 and 15-13. Steve and Scott Smith led the attack numbers once again with 30 and 23 kills respectivel y. This left Waterloo in first place in their pool and set to play the Manitoba Bisons in their first playoff match at 6 pm. Other action Saturday had left Manitoba in second in one pool behind Lava], and Winnipeg behind Waterloo in the other, Manitoba went into the tourney ranked numero uno in the nation, and left little question why in the match with the Warriors, winning 3-l (E-7, 13-15, 15-6,15-12). Waterloo’s brie game tin was a gutsy performance which cbuld be pegged as the highlight of the team’s accomplishments on the weekend& Steve Smith topped the stats sheet for UW with 31 kills and freshman Shawn Smith hammered down 19 of his own. _
The loss relegated the Black Plague to the bronze medal match against Winnipeg, where the host team took the hardware, 3-1 in a squeaker (1715,15-12,14-16,16-14). On the positive side, Steve Smith set another school record in the loss boosting the individual kills-per-match record from 39 to 43. Is there a limit to this national team member’s potential? Also, the play of the Smiths throughout the whole tournament has to be considered incredible. The grand total for the three was over 220, with Steve
Smith nailing 141 alone. The competition against the best teams the in the nation can only improve and toughen the Plague as they head toward this year’s CIAUs. And finally, for those who were wondering Warrior head coach Scott Shantz was modelling his new 1491 line of tie-wear, a dashing array of colours as per usual, Rock on Spud!

Waterloo’s basketball Athenas weIcomed the Lakehead NorWesters to the start of a new year. The Athenas proved to be quite gracious to their guests, losing both games over the weekend by scores of 68-48 and 69-50. Because of distance, time, and mostly money, the Norw7esters must play their games back-to-back, either at home or away. In the opener Friday night, Lakehead showed no sign of jet lag however, jumping ahead 11-4 seven minutes into the game. Waterloo was able to bounce back to a 15-15 score midway through the period, before Lakehead eventually pulled away to a 35-24 lead at halftime. The smaller Athenas, which boast a lineup of no less than six freshmen, were able to cut into that lead in the second half. With six minutes to go, they had pulled to within five, 464& and were still down by only nine with a- -de -..e- of minutes left. Wahoo attempted to get back into it by shooting 3-pointers, but missed shots afforded Lakehead the

opportunity to run up the score and win by 20. “The score was not at all indicative of the game’s closeness,” Athena head coach Denise Dignard said afterward. Turnovers were a problem however, as Waterloo committed 24 to Lakehead’s six. Waterloo’s scoring was balanced albeit meagre, as Leah Ann Erickson topped the points parade with 12, followed by Brenda Kraemer and Tina Murray with nine and eight points respectively. On Saturday, the Athenas found themselves in a similar position by falling behind early. Lakehead utilized a fuIl court press to force turnovers and was also able to control a majority of the boards and hit over 50 per cent on field goals. Waterloo found themselves down by 21 at the half, 45-24. “It’s easy to understand that with 32 turnovers you don’t win too many Dignard, who gmeS,‘* explained played on the National team for three years. A more positive second half was displayed by the Athenas. They pushed up their intensity on defence and played with more composure on offence. Spurred on by Brenda Kraemer’s 15 second half points. Waterloo at the very Ieast play&l&I; up with the Nor’Westers. Lakehead eventually won 69-50.
‘with six minutes left, we just wan ted to make sure we could keep then under a 20 point win,” saic Dignard. Brenda Kraemer totalled 23 pointz to lead the Athenas, while Lab AI-UErickson tossed in nine more. Just before press time, the Athena5 pbyed against Brock at the PAC thi5 past Wednesday, and lost by a score of 5340, Waterloo’s next games are Saturday, January 19 against the Golden Hawks at Laurier, and then home against Guelph on Wednesday, January 23.

Squash Athenas survive OWIAA 2 to finish fourth Athena
Squash
by Chico Silvesti
When the winter term began this the Waterloo squash January, Athenas discovered they were two players short of a full roster. Co-op has always been an enemy to the varsity program, but it almost destroyed the team this term. Requiring six players to make up a unit, the team usually carries ten players in practice, When Christmas exams were over and students cleared out, Waterloo lost four players to the coop monster, one to an important Optometry School Conference and one more sidelined under doctor’s orders. With two days to recruit before part two of the OWIAA squash season, the Athena’s hopes looked extremely dim. But with a few signs and some desperate calls for help, two brave players appeared and offered to fill in the gap, though neither had much competitive squash experience. Susan Bieniek, a third year Mechanical Engineering student, and Karen McColeman, a Geography Grad student worked hard with the help of assistant coach Dave Dietrich to prepare for this past weekend’s tournament. After three days of practices, they had to be ready for the OWIAA Squash Tournament Part Two. When
everything
was
over
Waterloo finished up with a fourth place overall out of nine schools competing. McMaster found themselves at an unusual position, first, with a much improved team including Waterloo’s OWTI Michelle Samways who is doing Med School at McMaster. Queen’s was second followed by Western, Waterloo, Toronto, McGill, York, Ryerson and Zaurier. The Athenas met their eastern rivals in this sectional tournament and defeated York, Ryerson, McGill, and Queen’s Their only loss was to the University of Toronto. In head-to-
head competition this year, Waterloo lost only to Toronto and Western. But when total match points are accumulated Waterloo sits in fourth in a very close race to the finals. McColeman played number six for the Athenas and, although her matches don’t count for overall team points, she defeated York and Ryerson’s sixth seeds and showed big improvementi with each game. Bieniek was thrown into a tough spot at number five and added to the team total by defeating York easily 30. She had a tougher time @th the other schools but she fought hard throughout and with a bit more practice time she will turn a few scores around. Connie Mayor, F --normally Waterloo’s sixth seed, was promoted to the fourth s-pot. UW head coach 1
Chico Silvestri was extremely proud of her performance. Mayor won four out of five matches including a tough 3-2 victory over the number two Queen’s team. She also fought hard against Toronto despite a 3-2 loss. Silvestri was also pleased with Christine Anderson who played number three also up two positions from her regular spot. However she proved herself by winning three out of five regular matches. Anderson lost her fifth match to Toronto mostly due to lack of conditioning, which she will have plenty of time to work on before the finals. Diane Lee played number two and once again proved there is no match for her at that position. She won all five matches 3-O. Lee has been undefeated at the number two position for three years now. She will be
graduating this spring and the team will miss her greatly. Louise Waite played number one and although she is far from being in top form she won four out of five matches. Her only loss was to Toronto’s number one seed. Hopefully this loss wiU motivate h&e to get serious for the OWlAA finals. Lianna Cooper was absent from this tournament due to school commitments. With her back in the lineup the team will definitely be stronger. Nikki MacKenzie was also absent under doctor’s orders. Both Mayor and Anderson put on very gutsy performances and wilI fill in most competently if MacKenzie cannot be present for the finals. Bieniek and McColeman will round out the team

In heavy loose snow, on the technical and physically demanding Orangeville Mono Nordic course, the UW nordic racing team Was in action on Saturday, January 12. There were six other Ontario universities present; Western, Guelph, Laurentian, U of T, McMaster, and Queen’s, Lakehead, Carleton, and Ottawa did not compete in this meet. The UW skiers were not up to full strength due to lack of snow and the cancellation of the Christmas ski camp glso due to a shortage of the powde’ white in Huntsville. Fortuna&l r ,, many of the team members were in Ottawa and did some skiing but far fewer days than in previous years. While in the nation’s capital, the women’s relay team of Eva SaruSole, Lisa Patterson, Fiona Criff~ths, and Julia Norman placed third in the Polar Bear Cup. It was a different story in Orangeville with Rachel Holden overall (second placing second among university athletes), Orangeville native Patterson finishing third overa (third among university participants), and Griffiths placing sixth (eighth among university women). The Athena nordic racers finished in first place as a team over two other teams, Laurentian and Queen’s, who were ahead of them at the OWIAA’s last year. In men% ski racing Laurentian was dominant

To date, most of the instructional programs and other courses that were offered are full, but there are a few limited spaces open in some of the swimming, fitness, tennis, and weight-training programs. CPR 352-03 and CPR 352-02 programs are still not full so to avoid disappointment see the PAC receptionist in PAC 2039 ASAP if you are interested. In total, 2,124 individuals registered for instructional and special interest programs, As well, there was a very high response for League Registration.

V-ball Athenas are similar to Winnipeg Jets Athena
Volleyball
byFtankseglenieks'
Imprint sports
Well the purpose of this title was to introduce students to the Athena
volleyball team, and I figured that the best way to do this would be by discussing the haunting simtities between the Athenas and my favourite hockey team, the Winnipeg Jets. The most striking thing about these two teams is the relative youth of the players. The Athenas have only five returning players in the line up with the rest of the team being rookies, and
this is only the second season for the returning playemr while overall the Jets don’t have a lot of experienced players . This lack of experience leads to inconsistent play, and the tendency to play to the level of the opposing team. The Athenas have put up strong efforts against some the top teams in the OWIAA, and have floundered
against others, while the Jets can beat the Bruins 6-O one night and lose to Quebec next day. A lot of this can be attributed to a lack of confidence. When your team is winning you feel good and things go right. But when you’re losing you need to have the confidence that you can turn things around and this is the mark of a good team. Similar to the Jets, the Athenas don’t have star players which dominate the play. Although captains Michelle Vanvliet and Katrina Englebrecht make great contributions to the team, it is a solid team effort from players like Sue Bylsma, Carren Hall, Nikki CampbelI, and Suzi Judd, and solid coaching by Dena Deglau which make the team what it is.
‘Niners and Bills _ heat up for TaWnpa r
Both teams are also at about thr middle of their seasons and fightiq for a playoff berth. The Athenas arr currently in sixth place, four point! out of playoff spot, but they have played two less matches than some other teams in the league. While tht Jets are in the tough Smythe Divisior sitting in fifth place. The second half of the regular season for the Athenas starts or January 23 at GueIph *at 6 pm followed by two games at Lakeheac the following weekend. The Jeti resume play after the all-star brea1 this weekend. Both these teams musr play more consistently if they hope tc be granted the opportunity to go or to post-season play.
Athena Volleyball
Pro Sports Report by Al &lliott Imprint sports
The Forty-Niners have been the class of the NFL for two years and have shown no signs of faltering. Their offence is nearly unstoppable at times. Joe Montana and Jerry Rice are the best around. The Niner defence, led by linebacker Charles Haley, is and greatly quite underrated overshadowed by the offence. The Giants rely on an awesome defence and will have to score more points than they usually do if they want to win New York’s most positive difference offensively is Jeff Hostetler. He forces a defence to be aware of him at all times because of his scrambhng abilities. If he is on, Phil Simms will not be missed. The last time they met, neither team moved the ball very well. As usual, the Giants will have to control the ball on the ground. If Ottis Af ierson rushes for over 100 yard., New York can win. San Francisco’s success will depend on turnovers. The Nners must prevent the explosive Giant defence from creating interceptions and fumbles. Expect Joe Montana to utilize a short drop and keep his passes as conservative as usual. Prdicticm: Niners by 10
*
The Buffalo Bills are looking for their first Super Bowl. The L.A. Raiders are their best possible opposition for this game. It will probably be a high scoring contest with bad weather helping to create turnovers. The key for Buffalo will be preventing the Raiders from making big plays. Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen, Willie Gault, and Mervyn Fernandez are all capable of making gamebreaking plztys. Buffalo relies on a ball control offence and will try to exploit a somewhat weak Raider secondary. Last week, the Bills caught Miami trying to cover Andre Reed and James Lofton, with safeties and linebackers on their crossing routes. The Raiders cannot afford to do the same. Jim Kelly appears healthy and showed his importance to the Bills’ offence last week against the Dolphins. If Bo Jackson can’t play, Marcus AIlen will again have to carry the load on a rush-oriented offence. The Raider offensive line is one of the best around and must control Bruce Smith to give Jay Schroeder the necessary time. Buffalo’s secondary is also its achilles heel on defence. If Schroeder is not effective, it could be a blowout Prediction: Bilk by 7
Whoever the Niners Slav, it should be a close contest. Buffho is probably the best team the AK has produced in several years+ Stopping Jerry Rice is something they may not be capable of. Offensively, the Bills should be able to put some points on the board. Expect a high scoring Super Bowl if the field conditions are good. As much as most people would like to see, the ‘Niners lose, they have Shown no signs of faltering. Prediction: miners by 6

Well, at the risk of being a bit of a Nostradamus, my money is on the ‘Blackwater Noise,” a collective term for the intriguing and vigourous rhythms coming from the small clump of towns that straddle the Essex/ Cornwall border.

Archangel~AWibbling with asylum inmates
Archangel L&wed by Guy Maddirr
Archangel is a 1990 black-andwhite Winnipeg film from late show hell. Director Guy Maddin cIeverIy tells this World War I story through the styles of international cinema in the first few decades of the medium’s existence. It’s a film historian’s dream. The reproductions are both remarkably faithful and subtly tonme-in-cheek
‘Fhere are sets on a slant, Iike in Z&e Cab&~ oJ& Culigari. There is voiceof-god mation, Iike thirties’ newsreels, while at other times there are inter-titles from the silent cinema. The women are layered with m&eup, as they often were in twenties’ films, and the music runs the gamut of old movies’ emphatic scores. There are jolting visual non-sequiturs Iike those of silent surrealist films, and there are several scenes that mimic the thematic editing techniques of the
Russian filmmakers, particularIy Sergei Eisenstein But that doesn’t mean the film has no plot. Billed as ‘a tragedy of the great war,” the movie focuses on the confusion pf a one-legged &.na$ian lieutenant named John Boles. The script, by Maddin and George To& lqins with Boles saying goodbye to his love, Iris, who is now containable in an urn A short while later he finds himself at a drafty (it’s always snowing, even inside) peasant shack Boles tries to help them rouse their young boy, who has just had some kind of seizure, but he himself mints after seeing a pretty young woman he believes is Iris. The woman’s name is actqally Veronkha, arid she has her own troubles; Phi&in, her once unfaithful husband (he betrayed her on their honeymoon) now has amrda Meanwhile, the lady of the house, hdmk, has the hots for Boles. Events swing back and forth, up and down, and sideways. People are always marching off to war, and these smoky, dark conflicts have no gene&, no direction, and no t;rIl.ies, You can’t even @II who’s fighing whom.

VanlX3rfune is not merely a rock-hard, kick the *&$! out of everyone kind of guy. He shows intelligence and sensitivity in a genre thathas long since proven itself void : 1 ot these traits. At tie outset I thought it would be interesting to count the number of violent acts in cirmheart but I soon lost count. So well have to settle with this stat: VanDamme has 18 fights (involving countless opponents) and does the movie in six different outfits (not counting his naked butt shot). For all of us non-mathies, that is an avera e of three fights per outfit. Not bad fot Hollywood nowadays eh? Lionheart should open a new world for VanDamme. If he chooses his scripts carefully he actually may heighten the action genre to include more than just senseless violence that is fun to watch for its expert execution. I’m not saying this film has great depth or even sensational acting but the performances are good and the movie makes an admirable attempt at sincere emotion and sensitivity. With the R~ky series wrapped up and Stallone apparently looking for different, Schwarsomething zenegger back in Kindergarten, and Chuck Norris and Clint Eastwood getting up in years, VanDamme may just own the 90’s as far as action-

direction credit (surely a very big job in this film) with Jeff Solylo. The bizarre Edwardian costumes were designed by Donna Szoke, and a duo, Terry Reimer and Pierre Naday, tackled the chiaroscuro lightingcopying those antique shadows, contrasts, and black backgrounds. lt takes the viewer awhile to figure out whether the actors’ dreamy way of speaking and the sudden shocking eviscerations, most notably several long looks at a living person’s intestines, are meant to be funny or serious. The answer is both. It’s a Tower of Babel view of war. The parade of film styles reminds us of the succession of wars that have existed alongside the art form, and of the use that has been made of the medium for propaganda, war effort documentaries, battle epics, and pictures about the families back home. Since Maddin doesn’t follow a traditional narrative, doesn’t place the sudden attacks in a rational context, the poWcal conflict surrounding the characters seems as impersonal and Alice-in-Wonderland-ish as war ever has. Boles accuses Philbin of being an impostor, of faking amnesia. It’s like the quibbling of asylum inmates. “I’m sicker than you are, na-na-na-na.” This weekend’s showing of Archangel at the Princess couldn’t be more timely, but the film has been around for several months. It opened the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado last August and also appeared at the Montreal International Film Festival and Toronto’s Festival of Festivals in September. But of course, war is always topical. PIaying at the Bincess Cinema in watt?dm, Jun. 18-20.

of the propaganda of the time, but the motley group that seems to have assembled on Boles’s side includes the Russian women Danchuk and Vmmkha; Phi@in, who Is Belgian; and a number of fighters in national costumes’ (not uniforms) that look Persian, Turk&h, even Swiss. We think we’re in czarist Russia, because there are SO many Sotiet-looking spires and Rasputin clones, but what Boles is d&g there is never explained. In-between battles, the story swirls around like a jumble of soap operas: Boles eavesdrops on two men trying
to hypnotize Veronkha, Danchuk pines for Boles, Veronkha realizes she is attracted to Boles, Veronkha rejects Boles and returns to Philbin, Philbin leaves Veronkha in the nuptiaI bed, (most likely for a liaison with the hotel derk,) and Veronkha has an emotional collapse that causes her to think Boles is Philbin. Back home, Danchuk’s husband, a fat, greasy, coward who whimpers in his sleep, grotesquely fights off a pack of evil, marauding “Bolsheviks,” but Philbin takes the credit for it. Kyle McCulloch, a Winnipeg theatre actor and rock singer, has the central role of Boles. He has a difficult task, because he has to imitate the acting mannerisms of old films, which do not fiit our present realistic standards; he is also in the middle of an absurdist piece, which requires its ownkind of acting logic; and on top of it all, he has to be beIievable. He pulls it off, though, partly by using the Same sort of tools as the Kyle on Twin Peuks does, a kind of campy dead-panness in the midst of chaos, He even looks a lit-tie like the David Lynch star, with a similar cleft-chin. The rest of the cast also manages to execute the requisite stylized acting. The most noticeable performers are Kathy Marykuca as Veronkha, Sarah Neville as Danchuk, 1Ari Cohen as philbin, Michael Gotii as the corpulent spouse, and Margaret Anne MacIeod as a creepy old woman; but the place is literally crawling with extras and bit players, just like an Eisenstein film.

WZw~.turned out the lights? Dtimg Viking
through the skylight U.B. Hurdkwn, Jr. Press, 392pp, $29.95
by Paul Dane Imprint staff Stomach-churning revulsion is a difficult concept to intellectualize, to manifest h-k language. The moral vacuity of Disappearing through the Skylight revolted me. The respect which our technocratic academic institutions have obviously afforded a decrepit crackpot like 033. tirdison is stupefying. The term “humanist” has always connoted so fuzzily and warmly; conjuring, as it does, images of people engagedan the betterment of humankind. To see O.B. Hardison described as ‘humanist” drove me back to my dictionary, where I found ‘%umanism” described thus: “1. the denial of any power or moral value superior to that of humanity; the rejection of religion in favour. of a belief in the advancement of humanity by-its own efforts” (Colli.ns). By this definition, Disappearing through the Skylight is certainly a humanist document arrogant, selfish, disconnected from the biological and ecological bases upon which human life is founded.. . suicidally egoistic.

The primary challenge of human existence is learning to function in a more collective, accountable fashion;

Crohne Thee? What the hell hap pened to tilume Twu? The ongoing rumour is that they recorded a few jongs with that other Wilbury, “Spike,” but not enough tracks for an fiburn, so they’ve decided to keep them aside. Whatever. But to the goods at hand; just how does this new Bob Dylan, er, Traveling Wilburys album hold up without Roy Urbison? Well, it’s all right on its own, but Orbison’s eight-octaverange voice wouldn’t have hurt. If you l&d volume one, you’ll probably like Volume three, but will be looking to see if they do anything different on kitlme four. The most Dbvious criticism of this album is that this Jim Keltner person on the drums LSan incredible bore. He’s the same guy from ?%iumu one, and I can’t magine why the hell they’d want the iame guy. The drums set the beat for the entire album at the same pace, and although the songs change, the rhythm and lyrics differ, the drum is this incessant pound-poundpounding that drives you insane. One thing’s clear - if you don’t like Bob “king-of-singing” Dylan’s voice, you91 hate this album. This is not just because he’s on the album, but because his harsh rasp is played

The problem with this criticism ti that it doesn’t help anyone. It’s preaching to the converted. Nobody who supports the CIA is going to listen to this record and say ‘%nmmm, I bet that IWiam Casey really was a fascist”. I guess in a way, it kind of makes me happy that I can criticize this album. As short a while as thirty years ago, an album like this one that calls the USA. a fascist state on a record would today be heralded as the pioneer of social criticism on vinyl. This album would be incredibly influential etc. etc. when it really isn’t all hat good. I’m glad we don’t have to accept pappy.
This compilation, although not for retail sale, is worthy of review because it reminds one that there is a Canadian music scene, while simultaneously tracing its evolution. Burton Cummings and Kim Mitchell are industry veterans who have been on the circuit for what seems like forever. Their former bands, The Guess Who and Max Webster, have achieved legendary status in this country. Other durable performers included in this package are David Wilcox, Tom Cochrane, Murray McLauchlan, Anne Murray, and the quintessential Canadian musician, Stompin’ Tom Colors. They are joined by the up-and,coming bands Skydiggers, Lava by, and The Leslie Spit Treeo, as well as those who have reached the security of middle-age, The Grapes Of Wrath, Glass Tiger, and The Box. Obviously, a great deal of d iversity now exists north of the fifty-fourth parallel, and this extends to rap and heavy metal, represented by MCJ & Cd G and Helix respectively. French music is the only major genre omitted on this cassette, which is ironic considering its bilingual title. Although
ie. the slow but sure domination by the CIA and FBI over the civil liberties of Joe Average. Yeah yeah. It’s pretty hard to care very much since the music’s pretty boring. Wilbury style, it’s sort of tongue-incheek, as in “She’s My Babv:“She’s gut a body for business/and a head -for sin , , . ” Not bad overall, but I’m sure that after I’ve had about two or three listens, it’ll slowly fade into boring land, where all the boring tapes go, and you only listen to the album so you don’t feel like you wasted your money. The problem with the album is that there’s not enough of any one artist, that you can Say this is the Tom Petty song, or this is the George Harrison song. As I said, each person does his own lead vocal thing, but the problem of the boring drums and the fact that no one artist does all of the singing, every song bs vocals by everyone else. This might be considered an advantage, but I don’t think so. + Yeah, buy this one.

There is more to the music scene than the latest pop slop to waft out from the radio or television. Many sounds that titillate, scintillate and accentuate life ;lye available for your listening pleasure but you don’t know about them. A very small amount of music occupies a very large portion of the airwaves so that you are never exposed to things you might like. More importantly, you develop the wrong idea about different types of music which prevents you from really exploring them. . This column is going to try and expose you to one of the most misunderstood areas of music - jazz. The very word strikes fear into some, with visions of mobster-filled nightclubs, while others laugh as they envision old men in stuffy back street bars. Sometimes people think of the sounds which saturate television themes, light and airy like the Love Boat or funky and slick like Starsky and Hutch. Is any of this jazz? The music seems steeped in myth and secrecy, its listeners more than fans; they are practitioners of some strange cult that makes them both superior and pretentious. This column is going to try and demystify and help you to explore jazz and enjoy it Each week compact discs will be reviewed and discussed, on their own and, how they may fit into the jazz scene as a whole. The compact disc format is favoured since jazz ori vinyl is extremely scarce even in used record stores, and a lot of material is being re-issued on CD. Also, since vinyl is no longer being produced, you probably have (or have your eye on) a CD player, not a turn table. Other aspects will shape the column as well, explanations of jazz slang. short reviews of new releases and artists, answers to readers’questions about jazz, who knows where the fun can lead? This week let’s explore a word that seems very overworked in jazz swing. According to Funk & WagnaU’s it means “1. To move to and fro or backward and forward rhythmically, as something suspended; oscillate. 8. To have an immediate and compelling effect, as jazz music. 10. A form of jazz music developed after about 1935, characterized by large bands, contrapuntal (construct&i according to the principles of counter-point) styles, arranged ensemble playing.” So here we have two basic uses, as a noun and as a verb. As a noun it is best applied to the music formulated by Fletcher Hendemon, the Dorsey Brothers and Benny Goodman, just to name a few. The term has come to mean a kind of sound which is closely related to the term “big band,” but the two are not completely interchangeable. Small bands in the same era as the big bands were called swing bands. Swing bands developed a particular style which is still influential’in the creatio of jazz today. Next week I will examine how this sound was used in the b’B band setup. S&ing also is a verb, as in “Man, that swings!“ where the speaker is m.aking mention of the rhythm of the piece. In all pieces of music there 1s a regular pulse, be it from the drums, bass or other instrument affecting accents at regul& intervals. To “swing” it, a complex variation of the pulse is added to the present beat. The tension between the two creates a sense of swing in the listener. (That is why even Bach can be said to swing, because of his use of rhythms, unlike the very monorythmic Beethoven.)

I’d heard @him, the myth of the young bluesman who sold his soul to the devil was familiar to me, but I’d never heard his music before. I was expecting a lot. At first I wasn’t satisfied. The intros and conclusion were almost identical on every song.

All the tracks are presented ir the order which they were recorded The problem with this is that clever of the tracks have alternate takes stil available, and ‘these are placed back. to-back with the master versions With songs like “Cross Road B&S” the tracks are signi.ficantIy differen enough to allow for an examinatior of the differences but for most of the tracks the songs are more or less the same and after one becomes f&mm with the songs, there’s a justifiabk tendency to skip over the second ver sion. The other problem with thti boxed set * the timing of the release. With? a plethora of rereleases, it would have been wise tc wait until the public didn’t have thy dilemma of limited resources and almost unlimited re-releases. The advantage this set has over others k definitely its price.

Hyperbole is an oft-used, and rarely justifiable method of musical appreciation, but one which finds a valid recipient in Robert Johnson. Although unappreciated in his lifetime, Johnson deeply affected many musicians who find in his music a quality of soulful keening and mastery of the guitar unparalleled in popuIar song. Artists including Eric Clapton and Keith Richards have accredited Robert Johnson as beingone of, if not fhe single most important artist in their careen. Until recently, aIthough some of Johnson’s recordings were available in re-releases like-‘King of the Delta Blues,” it was next to impossible to find all of the mere 41 recordings that survive this artist. However, Vocalion Records, Johnson’s original label, has released all of Johnson’s known existing recordings as one more of the boxed sets to flood the market. All of the tracks were recorded in five sessions, the first three within five days of each other in San Antonio Texas in late 1936 (23rd, 2&h, 27th of November), and two in the middle of 1937 (19th and 20th of June).

features an intro in which James does the first verse of Johnson’s “Stones in my Passway.” In their heyday the Rolling Stones covered both ‘Gve in Vain” and “Stop Breaking Down.” These current artists are covering mate&l which is over haIf a century old.
But the music grows on you. At first, I listened to the album like I did with most other album; while I did my homework or something else. However, it’s just as interesting simply listening to the melodies and rhythms that Johnson weaves together. On some tracks, it does sound like there is another guitar in the background. Perhaps the easiest way to examine why Johnson receives so much praise is simply to compare him to other guitarists, and one quickly realizes how much men like Robbie Robertson and Eric Clapton owe to Johnson. His slide riffs and counter melodies have worked their way into popular music, and only through the men he influenced does Johnson receive the credit he deserves.
The booklet which comes with the collection contains a thorough history of Johnson, with pictures of many of his influences, and relatives, as well as a brief description of the state of blues in Johnson’s lifetime. As
Anyone who knows anything about blues can also place Johnson in the historical perspective along with other blues players like Son House and Lonnie Johnson, but like me, you don’t need to have this kind of historical knowledge to appreciate Johnson’s talents. Buying the collection immediately allows you to recognize the deep debts owed to Johnson in the songs of artists such as Led Zeppelin, whose ‘Traveling Riverside Blues” is a mix of Johnson’s song by the same name, and his “Kindhearted Woman Blues”.

Deep Purple has sold over 70 million albums, which is amazing when you consider the number of solo ventures and substitute bands (Whitesnake, Rainbow, etc.) that the DP members have hopped back and forth from. On SZuves and Mmiem, Rainbow vocalist Joe Lynn Turner appeais with Deep Purple regulars Ritchie Blackmore (on guitar), drummer Ian Paice, keyboardist John Lord, and bassist Roger Glover. (Personal differences a couple of years ago forced frontman Ian Gillan to begin a solo career.) Anyway, this album is great but it is not a milestone like the reunion album Pe@c1 S’trangm, IF’s best since Mclcbine Head. Yet, S!uves and Mastpls is a definite uprise from the stqpant ‘87 release l3e Holcs~ ojthe Hue Light.
The band +s alwaysbeen known among producers for its quick recording ability. “King of Dreams”, the album’s first single, was a jam session that was played once and recorded at the same time. No touch-ups were needed on this gem. Other tracks to give an ear to are “Love Conquers All”, “Fire In The Basement”, and ‘The Cut Runs Deep”. I have alwayspegged Death Angel as a group with a style that is reaching toward the thrash metal supremacy displayed by Megadeth, while keeping ahead of such upstarts as WWIII, and ICreator. This rough-edged, but near-psychedelic LP was recorded live at the Paradsio, Amsterdam in the summer of 1988.
Grme would be a good choice, It features previous hits “Bored”, “Voracious Souls”, and “Evil Priest”. Metal Yhiahms is kind of like Roseanne Barr trying to stay afloat in a kid’s lifejacket (ie. the bad outweighs the good). There are some strong tracks that stand out, including I Xyz’s “Inside out”, Stryper’s “Not That Kind of Guy”, and Motorhead’s 1live version of “Iron Fist”, But there iare also the drowning lulls of Aver’ sion’s “GOD. C.O.D.“, Laaz Rockit’s
“Theatre of the Damned” excepted, these songs won’t start a stampede to his section in the record stores. Relum To kktalopolis, Poland’s first solo effort, will be appealing to screamingguitar enthusiasts, but he is no Yngwie Malmsteen or Joe Satriani. Well Chris, guess you should have stayed with Megadeth. manks for playing though. We have some lovely parting gifts for you backstage and the home version of “Senseless Guitar Wanking!” tors, or it is just plain awful.

The material itself would have been good back a few years ago when house was hip and hopping but the samples and watered down soul that infests the album are insipid and boring. Lame rap hustles its way into material that seems better suited for shopping-mall air-play. They use every tried and used house tick, from the use of the intro from some fifties self help recording to the girlygirls moaning in the background. The only interesting sample is used to death in “My Christmas,” some chap exclaiming lustfully, “Girl, 1 want to trim your tree.” So: unless you are a diehard house fan you had better avoid this reminder of the holiday spirit.

3 and 1/2 by Sandy Atwal Imprint

from the Since relocating Maritimes to Toronto a few years have back, the Jellyfishbabies changed considerably. Formerly, they borrowed heavily from the powerful Minneapolis rock sound of Soul Asylum and Husker Du. Recently, they’ve shown quite different influences and have toned down to a softer, more introspective style (as exemplified by a recent single on which they covered Leonard Cohen and the Velvet Underground). 7Ae Unkind Truth About Rome, the band’s second album, chronicles nicely a few years worth of varied material, ran@ng from intense (“Wild to far mellower Cows”, “Abbott”) grooves (“Greycoat Orchestra,” “63 Misery Avenue’). The diversity makes for a bumpy fide at times, but the overall package is quite impressive, indeed. Phiiip Micheal Producer Wojewoda (Change of Heart, Doughboys) maintains a simple, crisp sound quality which com-

plements most songs. Some interesting guitar bits surface periodically as do some keyboards and even violin \ and cello. Scott Kendall’s fine vocal performance deserves special mention; his ability to switch from delicate crooning to a coarse howl is quite remarkable to behold. I wish I could think of some way to distinguish the Jellyfishbabies from the seemingly infinite number of melodic gui& bands currently pressing vinyl, but to be quite honest, I can’t. Suffice it to say that I like this album a lot. These guys definitely have something w thwhile to offer and they’re Canadian to boot. So be a patriot and pick this up.
Sampling and audio collaging isn’t all that new. As early as 1964, William Burroughs was discussing it in ?%e Job. As for how far it has come, albums by bands like PWEI and Consolidated, and this one by Meat Beat Manifesto are a testament to just that. This album isn’t fantastic, except for one track, but it does represent how musicians are slowly stretching the anachronistic forms of musical which haven’t really expression changed for over f ty years, and delving into new methods of communication. The target of this weapon is more often than not the very medium which they are expressing themselves in. The theory of “music as a weapon and music as a target” (oh God, I’m quoting John Hymers) holds true. The absolutely fantastic track on this album, which definitely ranks up there with “Dysfunctional Relationship” or “Wise Up Sucker” is “Mr. President.” The fun thing with sampling is the game of “spot the theft” and this track provides for end-
“Countdown” with its irresistible power-pop formula and chiming sixties-type harmonies, I knew there could be nothing purer than my adoration of this aIbum. It’ll never look haggard on a bad morning, nor sneer at my sincere endearments, nor
ning pop formula, Montreal’s Doughboys bring a barely repressible energy to their efforts. Veteran Toronto knob-twister Michael Phillip Wojewoda only adds enough sugar to the mix to make the medicine slide down smoothly. The songs positively burst from the grooves. Over their career, the Doughboys have played a constant game of revolving personnel, and Happy AC&w ts is no different. It apparently marks the last appearance of John Bondhead in the-group, tho’ John Kastner continues to handle lead VOX. If the Clash liked the Monkees half as much as they liked the Sex Pistols, they would have sounded like the Doughboys, if the Red Hot Chili Pep pers had listened to Kiss instead of Parliament-Funlcadelic, if . . . if . . . screw the comparisons, this baby just plain rocks. There’s little slackening of the pace, nor the fun quotient, from the first Happy Accident to the last. YOU can’t argue with love, espe&lly when it’s as pure as this. fd you can profess yours February at the Bomber, when the doughboys, and Change of Heart (Canada’s other great power-pop band) come to play and play and play.
less hours of family fun. Public Enemy (surprise, surprise: pretty much a staple for samplers, including the already-mentioned Consolidated and PWEI) as well as a member of the press whose tribal cry for salvation of ‘Mr. President” is used throughout the track (I hesitate to call this a song). One of the interesting side effects of this track is that the repetition of the introduction to the question’$lr. President” brings to mind the absurdity of addressing someone by two pro-
per, nouqs so- that it (sumy) increases his or her authorityIt’s much like calling sornmne Mr. Sir OT Madame Lady. Amid the vague “industrial” noises in the background, the album closes with some brilliant (sampled, of course) jazz trumpet riffs. Like many albums reviewed within these pages, you’ll have to do some searching to find this thing but it’s probably worth it just for this one track The rest of the album’s o.k. too.
