Playfair resigns as pub manager .

by Catherine Coleman specid to Imprint

As part of UW’s WATGREEN initiative, faculty offices are being assessed for their level of environmental friendliness. A research group composed of second-year Environmental and Resource Studies students last fall began to examine the feasibility of greening campus offices.

by Dave Thomson Imprint staff

The result is a Green Office Information and Supply Package, to be revealed on Wednesday at an orientation session for all faculty offices. The five-member group, who call themselves Toward a Green Office, have a longer term plan: eventually they hope to develop packages for all offices on campus. The group mem-

After spending many years turning the Bombshelter into a profitgenerating pub, manager Dave Playfair has resigned from the position to move on to bigger and better things. He officialIy left one week ago, on Friday, July 19 to begin working for the Waterloo Inn. His new position will allow him to expand his talents in the in the food and beverage industry as well as participate in marketing and promotions. “I enjoyed working with the students, but it was time to move on,” said Playfair, adding that it was an offer he couldn’t pass up. He said that he put a lot of effort into turning the bar into a place that both students and staff enjoy going to and regrets having to leave. He also wanted to thank the Federation of Students, Imp&t, and faithful patrons for making it as suCcessful as it is.

Youth gather for conference byAngeIaHeeds Imprintstaff Thirty-two young people from across Ontario gathered in Paris, Ontario for a four-day intensive conference to discuss environment and development issues and make a plan of action to address world leaders. The conference was organized as one in a series of six regional conferences which would feed into the national and international youth conferences. The L objectives were to empower youth, form a support network among the youth, and, ultimately, begin work on a position for Canadian youth to contribute to the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) to be held in Brazil in June, 1992. The participants came from a diverse cross-section of backgrounds - some were in the workforce, some were students (including two from the University of Waterloo), and some were unemployed. There were youth from rural, native, and recent immigrant backgrounds who all shared their insights and made strong representatives of their groups. As individuals, the youth were not your average kids. They were generally all very active in their communities and schools organiziig events and educating their peers and their parents on environment+l i!%UeS.

The focus of the partitipanfs tentred around regional environmental issues. The participants were eager to do something and make definite commitments to action. “Because of the process of working in groups and arriving at consensus, I’d like us all to be conscious of what

bers are Catherine Coleman Elizabeth Crawford, Barb Francis, Paul Tindale, and Michael Torreiter. .The group targeted paper waste as an area of reduction after conducting *a waste audit last November. It will also address throw-away office supplies. The research group has been working closely with both UW’s purchasing department and the waste management coordinator to ensure that the integration of the packages, which contain an educational component as well as supplies, causes minimal disruption to office employees. Pending employees’ responses al the orientation session, the package will be modified if necessary, and the group hopes to begin expanding distribution of the package. For more information, please contact ext. 3245 and leave a message.

we’re learning this weekend, as well as what we are trying to achieve/said Luke Winttjes, regional conference co-ordinator. although the facilitators made SeveraI informative presentations on UNCED and the issues surrounding it, it was clear that the majority of participants felt somewhat removed from the process. They generally wanted to see their impact through more definite local action.

‘I’m trying to save a local woodlot in Kitchener, Andrs Ibanez, a student from Kitchener Collegiate Institute, told participants, “but the mayor won’t listen. Can you guys help?’ There was concern, however, that international development issues, specifically developing country isues would need to be addressed in more detail at the National Youth Conference. “Environmental issues dominated the conference. This was positive as it lead to concrete actions - it’s a lot easier for us xt on environmental concerns. But it also meant that once again the “D” in UNCED - Development - which is the primary concern of the majority of the world’s pop&tion, was ma@na.ked by Northern interests,” said Melanie Samson, a Queen’s economics student and one of the participants selected to attend he national conference. ‘9.f Canadian youth are to truly contribute to the IJNCED process, it must be by putting develdpm&t issues at the centre of the National Conference,” she said. During the Ontario conference, a working group on “alternate expression” decided to coordinate a crossCanada tour of youth art (poems,

videos, paintings, and so on) on and development environment which could be presented at UNCED, The “education” working group recorded almost 12 hours of video tape and plans to make a series of short commercials and perhaps a half an hour video to tell youth about why (what the issues are, what the rewards are) and how to get involved. The working group on personal change developed the “refrigerator philosophy” which consisted of a series of slogans to inspire people to thii in a new way. These will be slogans to post on your refrigerator. For example, “Smile. How do you feel when someone smiles at you?” Ten participants from the Ontario conference were selected by the participants’ vote to represent them at the national conference in Nova Scotia in August. Two of these ten from each region will go to Pointe de 1’Eglise two days early to begin drafting a working document. This working document will provide a basis from which the group will form the wdian youth position for UNCED and working papers for the International.Youth Preparatory Forum in Costa Rica in March, 1992.

by Paula Hendsbee Board of commu.nkitions Do you enjoy helping others? Do you want to meet people and make new friends? Do you want excellent work experience? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the Student Volunteer Centre may have just what you’re looking for. While most students recognize volunteering as an excellent way to improve a resume or Teacher’s College application, *we often disregard the opportunity for personal growth and satisfaction through helping others and getting involved with the community.

Verna Keller, the manager of the Student Volunteer Centre, hopes that the shortage of summer jobs will encourage -more students to volunteer for a wide variety of placements available through the Centre- Volunteer positions are available both onand off-campus and are extremely flexible. If you are uncertain or curious about volunteering, the Centre has opportunities. many temporary Keller suggests trying it out for a few hours. The Centre can also match you with a volunteer position that suits your interests and skills. For more information on volunteer contact the Student opportunities, Volunteer Centre at ext. 2051 or visit Campus Centre room 150A.

The 11th annual Terry Fox charity run will begin from the University’s Campus Centre in just a few weeks, on September 15. Last year, approximately 350 runners participated and raised over $17,000 toward cancer research, which is slightly more than totals in recent years.

This year’s run starts at 20 am and finishes at 3 pm, winding its way through ten kilometres of Waterloo’s less busy streets and ends once again at the campus centre. With free pizza, soft drinks and prizes being donated by various sponsors, this year’s turnout is hoped to be higher than in previous years.

The University Student Security Service (USSS) has been in operation since June 13 and reports that business is pretty slow, completing only 49 walk-homes to date. That is less than one walk-home per night and is not good use of the service. Campus securiv is aware that many people, particularly women, are still taking unnecessary risks by walking home done late at night and wish to remind all students, staff, and faculty to take advantage of this free service offered seven days a week from 9 pm to 2 am.

Why walk home alone and afraid when you can walk with someone else and get home safely? Rash of bike thefts continues Bike theft has continued to skyrocket’ on campus and UW security reports another 37 bicycles have been reported stolen since June 1. This summer has been particularly bad for bike thefts, which have increased 300 per cent from the same period last year. Once again, security urges you to lock your bicycle at all times and to make sure it is locked securely around ib frame to a stable base, such as the bicycle racks. Mountain bikes are the most popular models and thieves are still being selective in the bikes they take. The most effective locks are the $40 D-shaped cryptonite ones or copy-cat ones available at a cheaper price. Security encourages all bicycle owners to record the serial number of their bike in a safe place and to mark their bike with some personal identifying number, such as ID number, SIN number, or driver’s license number. This is the only way you will be able to identify your stolen bike if it is recovered, since often thieves strip and repaint the bikes, making them difficult to identify. Police report that only one in five people takes these precautions and, as a result, most stolen bikes are never returned to their rightful owners. The Turnkey Desk in the Campus Centre offers free use of an engratig tool to ail UW students and periodically sets up bike ID days. Contact the Turnkeys for more information. Remember: Lock it or lose it!!

Good Luck On Exams!! This is the LAST Imprint of this Spring/Summer term. Our next paper, theII Orientation Issue, will miraculously appear on August 30 . see YQ!!

@ MicroWay I!!!! --

Answer: You signed a contract to rent premises for one year. Whether you live in those premises or not is not relevant. Your obligation to pay rent continues until the tenancv is terminated. You have U-&e oMions. Your first option k to negotiate an early termination with the landlord. If the landlord agrees, that agreement must be in writing to satisfy the requirements of the Landlord and Tenant Act. Your second option is to sublet the premises. Normally, leases contain a term that the consent of the landlord is required. The only restriction & that the landlord not be unreasonable or arbitrary in providing such consent. If a sublet is arranged, you are still responsible to the landlord. In particular, if the sub-tenant damages the unit or falls behind in the rent, the landlord can sue you to recover his or her losses. If the sub-tenant does not wish to remain in the unit beyond the termination date of the lease, you should give the landlord M-days written notice (with respect to the last 60 days of the lease) to properly terminate the lease. If you don’t, the lease is deemed to continue on a monthly basis. Your third option is to walk away. That is your worst option. The landlord would undoubtedly sue you for the lost rent. Theonly obligation upon the landlord is to mitigate his damages by attempting to locate a new tenant. He may not be able to obtiin a new tenant for several months. You would be responsible for any lost rental income.

QlWStiOIl:

I have rented my prcyent town housefurJve and a hayyears. I am cunently a monthly tenant. EWeen week ago, I was permanently laid u#j?om my job. I fell behind in the rent. I presently owe the landlord $1,200.00.~ recent& obtained full-time employment which sturts immediately, I have advised the landlord of this and have told him that I wuuld pay the am~rs within the nat JWU to thee weekx He said nuthing. A f&v days later, the lundi& called me at work and urde& me to move my b&ngings out at the end of the week. He said that the Iucks would be changed whether I muved my be/ungings or not. 1 know thut the landlord must obtain a court order tu evict tenants. No dmuments were ever sewed on me. when I questioned the landlord about that, hesaid rhat he wasn Arguing to wasteany time with meand that he wasnjgoing to lose any more monq He said that IshuuId beglad that I was getting advance notice. Who is tight? Answer: .You are. Although the landlord has grounds to evict (i-e: rental arrears), he must obtain a court order to do so and to regain possession of your unit. In your case, the lahdlord must serve an initial eviction notice, setting out the amount of the arrears and setting out a termination date. The termination date must be specified to be effective 20 days after the notice is @en. If you are able to pay the arrears within 14 days of receiving that notice, the eviction does not proceed. If you are unable to pay the arrears within the 14 days, on the 15th day the landlord is entitled to apply to the court for an order terminating the tenancy, for a Writ of Possession, and for the arrears outstanding. If you are able to pay the arrears and costs on or before the date the application is returnable (the court date), the eviction will not proceed. If you are not able to pay the arrears and costs on or before the returnable date, the landlord will obtain an order terminating the tenancy, granting a Writ of Possession and an order that you pay the arrears and costs to the landlord. However, there is still a reprieve. If, within seven days after you are served with this order, you are able to pay the arrears and the costs, the eviction wiXl not proceed. If the landlord changes the locks or regains possession of your unit without a court order, he is in violation of the Landlord and Tenant Act. If he does not allow you to retrieve belongings unless the rent is paid, he is again in violation of the Landlord and Tenant Act. These violations are dkalt with under the Provincial Offences Act. Each violation exposes the landlord to a maximum fine of $2,000.00.

You can apply to the Ontario Court General Division to terminate your tenancy but in all likelihood you would probably not be able to obtain a termination of your tenancy based on the factual situation mentioned in your question. You certainly would have grounds for damages against the landlord for renting premises that force you to pay utilities for all rental units in the house unless your tenancy agreement indicates that you must pay for utilities for all the rental premises in the house. YOU could attempt to renegotiate with the landlord and advise him that he is risking legal action and that may force him to reconsider and alkw you to pay a cheaper rent if the landlord does not want you to make arrangements for the rewiring required for the installation of separate meters for all the rental units in the house. Also, you may try to negotiate with the other tenants who live in the other unit and ttiey may voluntarily pay for their proportionate share of the utility use. That may be an easy way out of your predicament.

Telling a true Tory fireside chat bY peter

Brown

A common criticism of Republican administrations in the United States in the 1980s has been that they have concentrated 50 much on foreign affairs to, of course, mainain and extend American hegemony, but also :o distract attention from the sorry state of domestic affairs on the continental US of A. The 1991 version of the conservative pevolution -cannot be accused of such diversionary tactics. No sirree, George Bush can nonestly and unabashedly profess to be, not lust the Contragate President and the Gulf President, but also the Education President and, above all, the Peace and Justice President. Already tiith the largest prison population in the developed world (over one million people), the US is poised to increase the growth rate of this figure over the 133 per cent seen in the last decade. A new crime bill making its way hrough the Senate with little opposition would nake mandatory a VI-year minimum senence in drug cases in which a firearm is found. 4dd to this the creation of 51 new capital ximes, including making homicide with a ‘irearm a federal crime punishable by death, according to TRe Glob and Muih Colin Mac<enzie. Currently, US federal penitentiaries house 51,000 prisoners, but proposed mandatory sentences are estimated to hike this figure to 100,000 by 1995, with 70 per cent of th8se Ming drug offenders. Of course, America’s legislators are acting Jvith the crudest of democratic principles in mind: self-preservation. Their constituencies agree, for the most part, with the use of the $25 billion it cost the US to house all of its prisoners. It’s unfortunate that this kind of political and financial capital can’t be marshalled for more preventative measures such as childhood education and rehabilitation counselling. But, as evidenced by their foreign policy, the American administration has a history of being reactionary instead of forward-thinking. Just look at the situation in. Iraq where United Nations sanctions on that country’s sale of oil are continuing the work started by the American-led air assault, unprecedented in American military history only in its sheer fury. That work, of course,

In ten or twenty years, we21 be sitting down with our kids just as they’re getting interested

in politics. They will treat us like veterans of war: ‘“Tell us about the Mulronq Years . . . you were there.” I saw the headline in the Globe on the soonto-be historic day, July 18, 1991, “Top Tory politicians, law enforcers charged in Ottawa,” and just felt this comment piece waiting to come out ofmy fingertips. Sixteen important Tories including a Senator, thi Speaker of the Senate, a few RCMP dudes, a Cabinet Minister, and various has-beens have been charged with conspiring to obstruct justice, fraud conspiracy, and fraud. We’re not talking about nails in the coffin here folks: these are huge, oversize railway

spikes. Sealed with cement. But would we expect any less from a government that has consistently had more and bigger problems than anyone else? We have had record numbers of Tories resign due to: hunk driving charges (at least one, on a motorcycle), voting against federal policies (at feast 4 in the last year inchding Bloc Quebecois and GST), going to strip clubs (1), various comiclions of committing federal crimes (Sinclair Stevens, for one), and more. Why not finish the term with a bang? Also consistent with the Mulroney legacy is the ignorance of parliamentary tradition. The minute that a Cabinet Minister is charged with a federal crime, tradition holds that they aretoresignassoonastheycanwritetheletter. What they hope to accomplish by waiting until September 16 (the date they appear in couft) is anyone’s guess* The fact that a Justice of the Peace felt there

was enough evidence to approve criminal charges against such importantand prodnent people is significant. It is not a simple matter of whether or not they are guilty. These people should not be acting in govemmentas a representative of the Canadian peapie if a JP felt there was sufficient evidence to lay charges of fraud, fraud conspiracy, and conspiring to obstruct justice. The only possible event that c&Id

beat this one and decisively decimate the Tories is if money were somehow to be implicated. I have a gut feeling (and a wee bit of hope) that MulroneywiU

Funny thing is, T&e Globe and Mail didn’t print anything about this absolutely huge c& ’ aster on Monday or Tuesday of this week. Surely there’s some different angle they can go at it from, or a different aspect of the story. And just a couple days ago, I saw an editorial in the same paper that read like a government press release, extolling the virtues of the GST (voting against it caused two Tory backbenchers to resign)* PuIlleeeeease! Supporters of our federal government often mention the supposedly wise economic and fiscal policies (I disagree, obviously) of the Mulroneyites when defending them, but ability to set interest rates does not a good govenunent make. Then our Ieader tried to rationalize the interest rates being higher than ~popularity.

is the oppression

and demoralization of the Iraqi populace for the heinous crime of tolerating Saddam Hussein. Buttake heart! Bush might be reconsidering his hard line with Iraq. According to Reuters, he may consider allowing Iraq to sell oil SO that it can buy food and medicine. Reuters quotes him as saying: “I’m not trying to hurt any individuals there. Our argument is not with these women and children of Iraq. It’s with the dictator.” Interesting that this s8ntiment was lost on George back when he ordered massive bombing missions against the country which resulted in over 100,000 deaths, according to most reliable estimates. of course, most good news about those happy fellows in the White House is too good to be true. 6ush also has refused to rule oul more air attacks on Iraq if Hussein does no1 give a full inventory of Iraq’s nuclear capacity. That’s the first thing the Iraqis need if they are tc repair their shattered infrastructure and reduce the death rate from malnutrition and disease. More hmbing. None of us should be too surprised by this curious behaviour; it is typical American behaviour to throw astounding amounts -01 money, effort, and lives at symptoms while being incapable of seeing any causes at all.

Mea culpa et cetera To the editor, First of all, I’d like to apologize to Peter Brown for labelling him as an Objectivist (with a capital “0”). Mea culpa. That said, it’s time for some constructive criticism. The main area for improvement in the Imprint is probably its news/arts ratio: this should probably be better than one, which it isn’t now. . As the Imprint stands, there’s a lot of emphasis on record and concert reviews, which may or may not (I suspect the latter) be of general interest. Concerts are one-time events, and it makes no sense to tell people how good they are once they’re done. Either people went, and have their own opinion, or they didn’t, and probably don’t care. In either case, we can save money by not sending pew ple to the concerts, which are in Toronto as often as not. What may be useful, though, is to publish previews, telling people what’s coming up and giving some idea of how well that band has performed in past concerts. Record reviews aIso don’t seem terribly useful. A lot of us simply can’t afford to buy records, at least on school tern%, and when it is time to choose, there is no substitute for hearing the group. The printed word does not even come close. The Gazette is the University talking to its&; thehnprintshould be the students talking to themselves. It should deal with issues that are important to all students. The current News section actually does this fairly well, but it’s way short. Also, it’s nice to see something controversial in the paper every once in a while. We’re an independent, and that means a lot of licence to do things like ‘Where do We Draw the Line.” To quote someone or other, I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. Of course, one hopes it won’t come to that PersonaUy, I don’t get a feel from reading the Imprintthat I’m being told what happens on campus. What are the clubs up to? Have the societies made any innovations recently? The Feds are starting some pretty major activities; let’s hear something about that! Obviously you can’t print what people don’t write. However, you might consider directly asking people or organizations for articles. The Fed column and turnkey column are nice, butI’m sure there are other places on campus that can be cajoled into writing. Can

we get someone from Students Advising Coop to advertise their accomplishments? Can the Waterloo Public Interest Research Group get their column back? How about Health Services, the Campus Centre board, the theatres, or whoever’s in iharge of public relations to tell us how we’re getting along with the outside world? Also, do you offer anything to people who do write articles (besides eternal fame, of course)? A cheap shirt or something might be a cool idea. Or have some award for excellence in reporting, winner to receive an Intelligent Humour book or other mondo boffo wizard prize. I don’t know. Everything else seems to be okay. The photos are usually good and often excellent, and the opinion is usually thoughtful. Do try to promote the events calendar, though! There are people who actually try to use that to know whai’s approaching who may not see any posters that may be up. KM Shapiro 3A Mathematics Editor’s Note: Ready? Set? Go!

Anonymity understandable To the editor, Re: Lizabeth Pirstl’s article “Prof assailed anonymously.” I would like to clarify my statements regarding my belief in the legitimacy of the student’s letter concerning Professor Lawrence’s insensitive handling of the acquaintance rape issue. The day I received a letter, I spoke with Dr. Anne Dagg of independent studies. Dr. Dagg had a well-documented conversation with Prof. Lawrence in which he made similar statements regarding acquaintance rape to those the student called into question. The concerns Dr. Dagg and the anonymous writer had were one in the same. In addition, all one has to do is read past issues of Math Quotes to see Prof. Lawrence has quite a history of making sexist comments, which have been the focus of letters written by Dr. Dagg to the Faculty’s Forum and Gazette. These events, in conjunction with conversations I have had with fellow students and the obvious sincerity in the student’s letter have led me to believe the writer’s concerns are legitimate. I think it is unfortunate that while on the one hand, the Imprint chose not to print the letter, it nonetheless took select quotes from it, which, in my opinion, did not serve justice to the letter writer or the material it contained. The letter was a well-written, thoughtful accoutit of a student’s disillusionment of Prof. Lawrence’s handling of the acquaintance rape issue. Although tinfortunate, it seems obvious to me why the writer chose to remain anonymous. We live in a climate where sexism is well rooted and those who speak out

against it are seen as over reacting or in the extreme, lying. Those who do speak out are often left open to verbal attacks regarding their concerns. As well, the ramifications of a student speaking out against his or her professor would appear as a legitimate reason this writer chose to remain WhY anonymous. My fear is that the Imprint article invalidated the student’s concern. I hope that is not the case and I would like to assure the writer that there are those of us who are just as concerned and committed to the eradication of sexism in our university community and in society. As for Prof. Lawrence, it is unfortunate that he is now the target of anonymous calls and threats and it is obvious these are not the proper channels for people to express their concerns. However, it would be refreshing to see him take a look at the comments in question and realize the impact he has on students. Attitudes, once obtained, are difficult to change, especially when they are handed down by those who teach us. Carmel Greene Women’s Issues Board

The ‘Person Student Party Pack I

by PhiUIp Chee

Imprintstaff

It is just a week before the vernal equinox and the birds are singing - four or five distinct harmonies, highlighted by the basso VOX of an owl. As I look to the south of the woodlot, the silhouette of a squirrel serenely perched cm a maple branch stands foremost, And my none too deft steps upon the winter hardened leaves attest to my tentative place among the other beings; the squirrel dashes away only to return. I’m glad I’m not a threat. It is hard to imagine how the Christian West could actually believe those desert metaphors should apply to their forests. Those fears of an inhospitable, untamed, demonic otherworld seem like the flimsiest coats of culture that I can just throw off my shoulders. These past weeks have reinforced my realization that we can and do need a subtle shift in perception to solve our crisis. But it’s not as simple as being an idealistic, modem-day Percy By&e Shelley. The feeling of emancipation that one can gain from a practical phenomenological approach is wonderful and should be shared. We must return to the things themselves and bring back experiential education. Science is not the only way to look at the world and our education system must change - it must challenge the dominant CarMan world view, and every tree-hugging granola head, corporate Gecko lizard, or bored dxutmite must be allowed to overcome the coIIective self-forgetting that has obscured Personhood. For the definition of person should not be a distinct, absolute, objective description, but should give a sense of the relationships that describe something to its fulled. There is a time to shame and a time to wax poetic, each one complementing the other. The beech leaves, still retaining their autumn glory, phyfully shiver a melody. The wind amplifies the natural reeds and the sound of a fast-fIowing stream flows through the mind, but ironically with images of polluted shores crowding out Rachel Carson’s memory.

“It was

a big experience for all of us to be here in Canada at thii toumament,” said Niva. ‘The players worked hard for a year to prepare for it. They had been to other parts of Europe to play basketball, but this was the first time any of them had been on this continent. We would like to come back again next year to compete.“ When the two teams were invited totakepartinthetoumam ent, the OBA assumed they would bring two uads of 15-year-olds. But because 2 the in&match in age of the Finland 2team and the comparatively limited experience of both teams, neither won any games. However, both teams were very competitive against their Canadian counterparts andare

considered two of the best teams in their region. Both are club teams belonging to the Rovaniemen NMKY (YMCA) in Rovaniemi, the capital of Lapland, at the Arctic CircIe 700 kilometers North of HeIsii. Basketball is young

in that area; their YMCA club is only 11 years old. Each together

team has been playing for almost four years now

Fencing set back by Lizabeth Imprintstaff

pirstl _

UW% fencing club’s recent attempt to take action toward attaining varsity status met with dismal results. Vijay Prasad, the recreational club’s coach since January, recently met with the university’s recreation program and varsity sports coordinators to discuss the possibility of competition at the varsity level Prasad said the club’s purpose is recreational, but that there are a number of fencers who wish to pursue the sport at %acompetitive level. Men’s varsity co-ordinator Don McCrae said that the issue of fencing as a varsity sport has come at time when varsity sports are “trying to hold their heads above water.” Financially they must maintain the Status quo, he said. Water polo, synchronized swimming and alpine skiing have recently been dropped as varsity sports at uw.

There were two main concerns with the club’s potential, said McCrae, One was whether there are enough members to field a full team for each event (foil, sabre, and epe). The other was whether the skill and experience of the fencers could warrant varsity status. Prasad said he feels some members would show good results competing against other varsity fencers. ‘Most university fencers are just starting. Out of a squad of approximately 20 fencers, only two or three are really experienced,” explained Prasad, He said that a major concern from administrations’s standpoint is that they want to see more development, within the club before allowing the members to fence at the varsity level. “I think they want to see people competing of their own accord next year in circuits other than varsity and getting results and going from there,” Prasad added. Sally Kemp, co-ordinator of the

campus recreation program, said she was concerned that right now there isn’t really a team. ‘We just can’t start up ad hoc teams as they arrive on our doorstep. No one has seen them function as a team yet, only as a club,” said Kemp. She added that they must first be able to field a full and functioning team for a few years. John Kasunic, club president for the spring term said he feels that it is because of the lack of a varsity team that the club has only a few developed fencers. ‘There are a lot of goad fencers at the school that would probably enjoy varsity but don’t join the club because it’s not competitive enough/ e IainedKasunic. Trasa d said for now he plans to pickup ffie train.Q in preparation for local competitions in the fall, He wants to make sure he keeps in contact with students on work terms and will help them 6.nd clubs to fence with while they are away from university.

Bonin’ in th ’ grooveyard FiShbOne Concert Hull July l&l991

Fishbone truly are sailing on the Jolly Roger of punk funk On Thursday July 18, boasting an artillery of glistening trumpets, explosive drums, fiery keyboards, razor sharp vocals, and two heavy cannon guitars, the Los Angeles pirates raised their skull and crossbones flag triumphantly claiming Toronto’s Concert HalI and every voluntary prisoner in it as the treasure of their musical plundering. There is a vivid image that spr&s to mind when recalling the atmosphere on that mercilessly hot evening in T.O. Jiffy Pop Popcorn. Think of a thousand kernels in a hall notorious for pathetic ventilation, and watch the heat slowly begin to rise. Speed the process along by switching on the mttsical element. Immediately, and without warning the kernels begin to thrash and slam chaotically, reminiscent of neurons randomly firing. It starts with one. Pop. Off the ground it flies, tumbling high above the rest. Before you know it, Pop . . . Pop . . . . POP, POP. POP.

It is the subject of ‘night, Mother, a play that is being presented next month by the K-W Little Theatre. There are only two characters in the play, a young suicidal woman and her mother, played by Julia UHaIlaran and M. Ruth Ann Peters respectively. The play examines their relationship intensely, and explores the effects of suicide both on the victim and the survivors. Jennifer Epps, the play’s director, was drawn to Marsha Norman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning text by the subject matter. ‘hly grandmother committed suicide before I was born,” says Epps, That was one of the reasons I was interested in doing this play.” Epps has also flirted witi the idea herself. ‘#Iused to be realIy depressed, and I have considered suicide in the

The Rules of The Game by Luigi PirandeUo directed by William Gaskill Stratford

Festival

until Sept. 7

by John Hymers Imprint staff

by Paul Done hIprint staff

When a man iiv4s he lives and does lot see himseij! We/l, put a mirror in bnt of him and make him see himsev rl the act of living. . . In a word, there is a ri&, and that crisis is my theatre. 4uigi Pirandello

SuperficiaIly, at least, Pirandello’s “he Rules @lXe Game is a manipulaion of the triangle of husband, wife, md lover. Rather than a parlour farce hough, currents of bitter humour md pessimism define the play’s tction. The husband (Leone Gala, played my James Blendick) is the motor who fives events to, their remorseless Dutcome. While his wife Silia (AnneMarie Cadieux) and her lover, Guido Venanzi (Juan Chioran), twist and m-n in the breezes of fate, Senor Gala remains, in his own words, “empty md anchored.” Blendick is exceptional as Senor Gala, projecting the turbulence and anger which lie just below the surface of his outward stoicism. Anne-Marie Cadieux carries herself with grace and poise - with the easy carriage of Dne used to inspiring adulation and obsession. In Iarge part, Rules of the Game is a $.ay of mannem and appearances. he Galas, who are separated, mainain contact for outward appearances. likewise, a constant arguing point for jilia and Guide is the way in which she wiIl be perceivd because d hi Dresence.

The action whi’ch drives the play onto the bumpy road to tragedy, again, is predicated on the decrees of honour. Mistaken for the prostitute next dwr by four drunken men, Si uses the situation to attempt to taunt her husband and penetrate his icy facade. Pen-ate it she does, with acrimonious results, as he exacts his jealous vengeance on Guido. One might argue that much of the pessimism of Rules is because of the

darkness df PiiandelIo’s own life at that time. Though there is a certain amount of truth in this statement, the fractured and savage ending fits. The performances of the three principals are bolstered by fine performances from the minor players; Bernard Hopkins is exceptional as Leone’s i&tempered cook, Phillip. 7he Rules of the Gume plays at the Tom Patterson Theatre (formerly the Third Stage) until September 7.

“It started off as a joke,” commented John Millard of the Polka Dogs to CKMS’ Eva Ku&i about his band’s name, “We began as a pit band for a theatre, so we really didn’t need a name. But then the Cameron (a Toronto club) wanted us to do some shows there so we had to pick a name, and Polka Dots is what we chose. Somebody once thought maybe it was the Polka Docks. Then we decided that the name did not really describe the band; everybody thought of the Polka Dot door. Dogs seemed to describe the mongrel nahrre of the band.” The Polka Dogs hardly followed a generic path in their quest to solidify as an outfit. While a theatre band, they wrote a piece describing the history of Kensington Market in Toronto, in terms of immigration waves. An interesting topic, especially considering that if Preston Manning’s Reform Party ever forms a gov?nunent, such a colourful neighbourhood would never come to be. Though the piece was written long before the Reform Party &came the great WASP hope, the work’s message is even more potent now: Canada% past history is indebted to immigrants, and so ought the future to follow. And besides unorthodox scoring, consider the band’s make up: Colin Couch (tuba) is classical trained and tourswith an opera company; Tom Walsh (trombone) is noted for his collaborations with Kichard Underhti; Tii (free accordian) is well known in new music circles and constantly gigs solo; and*Ambrose P&tie (drums) works with Crash Vegas and is currently on tour with them. Add to the band John Millard,

an accomplished banjo player, and you truly have a mongrel band. And a mongrel band is hard to draw together at one time, says Millard: “we try to get steady gigs like Clinton’s every single Tuesday and we don’t rehearse a lot, Perhaps we should; I think we will in the near future just because we got to get some new material happening for gigs. It is really difficult to keep it together right now, we have members touring both coasts. But it’s worth it to have the quality players, even with the shuffles, because you know when you get on stage there’s is going to be no problems.” And what do they play when they finally do get together? “Well, we play a hybrid version of polka. We play it too fast to be a polka; really, it approaches a weird kind of ska. It’s somewhere between ska and a country-and-western shuffle, but fast - it’s quite fast, a choppy one/two that hits your spine,” Their unique and quirky compositions, best described by Millard above, are the result of a give-andtake arrangement between Millard (as lead songwriter) and the rest of the band. According to Millard, “I write the tunes, then I come to the band. On a simple song, I present them a lead sheet, which is really just the main melody and a counter melody, and then they can figure out what to do with it. But a song like Certain Happiness,’ or Under the Pines,’ is really scored completely right from the slxl? But Millard stresses that teamwork is important: ‘“lt wouldn’t work if peapie didn’t push to change the tunes push the parameters. That’s what makes it a band.” Come see the Polka Dogs tomorrow night (July 27) in beautiful downtown MaryhilL Tickets are dirt cheap, and loczils War Wagon are the qxning act.

In Elliott Hayes’ new play Homeward Bound, suicide, infidelity, and homosexuality all collide to form a

shifting mass of re&mination# anguish, and surprisiig verve and humour. The play revolves around an older couplet Glen and Bonnie, who have invited their two children to dinner. The parents have news: Glen is dying of cancer, and wants to choose his own time and place of expiry, before the disease does it for him But the children have problems of their own. Norris, the daughter, is a shrewish bitch who is canying an unborn child but cannot name the father. All she can say with certainty is that it is not

the offspring of her doltish husband in an even pattern on the stage. Kevin, And Nick, the son, is wrestling The acting was uniformly superb, with the alcoholism of his homosexwhich is even more impressive conual lover, Guy. The play is an actor’s dream, full of sideringthatthemaleactorsaregiven much less to work with in the way of welhafted dialogue and intricate character. The character of Guy relationships* Hilarious oneliners Nick’s lover, witha secret - is almost like ‘Where’s the champagne? Your tzrimhdy underwritten, as is Glen; father always thought euthanasia was there is very little of his motivation or the epitome of decadence” are only thought processes revealed. Douglas part of the story. Rainas Glen, though, was masterfuIly The real meat of the play lies in convincing given the chailenging Hayes’ development of the wo female characters. The male actors are often relegated to the sidelines as the two critical characters, Norris and Bonnie, are given. long speeches outlining Hayes’ major themes. Michelle Fisk (Norris) and Barbara Byrne (Bonnie) both turned in sp-& tacular performances as wumen who buy into conventions. Conventions, in fact, are the central concern of the play. Norris is enslaved by the middle class conventions that Bonnie mocks. In fact, it is . her middle class-ness that has made her an utter monster, offhandedly claiming Glen’s old possessions for her children in the emotionally charged finale. However, the conventions Bonnie subscribes to as an alternative are ultimately no less illusory. Bonnie’s outlook on life leads to accusations of izoldness; hers is a world where it is ; acceptable to plan your vacation to I Tibet as your husband plots his death, I a world where no-one g& hurt. / However, Bonnie’s view is based on 1 lies, for she does get hurt; as the play , doses, she is inconsolable. Th,iig theme of conventions is reinforced by the set and sta@g. The Glen and Bonnie’s stage set parlout - is almost strangely symmetrical, and the action complements this, with the actors always spread out

task of rer&ning silent and basidy motionIess, yet still looking bterested, throughout much of the play. The problems with the play are simple to point out: the underdevelopment of Glen’s character, and the ending that errs just on the wrong side of ham4istedness. However, the play% strengths must be seen to be truly appreciatti the wonderfully acerbic dialogue, the amazingly convincing performances, and the sensitive treatment of adult themes.

upon a time in the projects. Bqz Wthe Hood Directed by John Singkton by Paul Done Imprint staff It’s inevitable that Buyz N’Tirre Hood and Jung/e F&J~ (and, of course, John Singleton and Spike Lee) are going to be compared by critics of every ilk. Simply put, this comparison is shallow and lazy. In essence, the only reason that critics choose to compare the two is because they share a common skin colour. Spike and Singleton have very different perspectives on the function and place of film. While both are students of film, L,ee is much more influenced European filmic concepts. On the other hand, Singleton is every inch a Hollywood mainstreamer he had an agent before he even graduated. In terms of personality and media relations, the two are like night and day: Lee’s a noisemaker, a near selfparody vilified in many media circles. Singleton is much more content to play the humble role in the game, shucking off high praise and criticism alike. While it is unfair to assess Singleton on that basis of his one f&n, the movies reflect the gulf of difference between the two men - particularly in age; at 34 Lee is 11 years older than Singleton, Lee has the brashness of a New Yorker, where Sie~on is LA all the w;ty. Like later Woody Allen fihns, or even good Scorcese, ZRc never loses sight of the fact that he is creating art.

His jarring kinetic camera work can be redolent of Godard or other New Wave directors, always reminding one that there is a controlling intellect behind the viewfinder. Singleton is an unabashed populist. In this style, he succeeds in communicating a harsh semi-autobiographical vi&on of the struggle to exist, and transcend, in South Central LDS Angeles. &;ryz i’U?te Hood starts out with a trio of ten-year old buddies Doughboy, the delinquent; Ricky, the athlete; and Tre, the one with the determination to t=-iiie the bourgeois train out of the ghetto. With this material, Singleton constructs a moral fable, one which pays lip service to the intractability of the social problems, but which, in the end, offers a solution. And what might that be? - stronger parental role modelling and control, greater emphasis upon education, and better developed communities. No small order. Despite whatever sins of oversimplification are committed, the movie itself is often wildly SucCeSSfUl in communicating the psychological battle terrain of South CentraI LA. ‘~-OU@IOU~ the film, the helicopter spotlights shine through windows, sirens wail in the background, and every slow-moving car is the carrier of potential drive-by death. In his role as Furious Styles, the movie’s aware blackman, the redoub_ table Larry Fishbume is excellent. Singleton’s direction is all-too-

obvious in in its extol&ion of his virhxe. Fishbume often seems to be addressing the audience rather than the other characters on screen IronicalIy, the casting and characterization of the movie undermine the themes; as Doughboy, Ice Cube is easily the most charismatic actor on the screen. Compared to the onedimensional Tre (Cuba Goding, Jr.), Ice Cube is darkly charming and

compelling. of course, bad guys are always much more fun than the clean-t good guys. One needn’t wonder why kids are cheering the most brutal and violent scenes in the movie. Some of the movie’s most harrowing scenes revolve around police harassment and apathy. The brutality of the black and white police team harks to NwA’s “Fuck tha Police” -

Yet. another : Big Chill ripoff Call it St Elmo’s Fire Syndrome, or The Big Chill Cknera. Producers

Creative ill&UCtOrS writing usuaIly tell students to wfite about what they know, and Tony Spiridakis did just that with his screenplay for Queens Logic. However, some professors also caution their budding writers against losing perspective when they’re too wrapped up in their subjects. And apparently Spiridakis wasn’t listening that day. He modelled the main characters after the friends he grew up with: he kept several of their names, professions, and trademark characteristics the same. But what he has reproduced are only surface details. Spiridakis doesn’t have the distance to understand these people, and he winds up overwhelmed and misty-eyed. It’s like watching him stare fixedly at his high school yearbook for two hours. The leads - Joe Mantegna, John Malkovich, Ken Olin, Kevin Bacon, and Spiridakis himselfspendmost of the film chumming around. Career-wise, they are uncertain and unsatisfied; on the home front, relationships are strained, since spending so much time with each other doesn’t help these men understand women any better. We’re nudged, and winked at, as if it were endearing that these grown men, pushing forty, behave like Puppet Babies. The premise is that the charactersare a decade or so younger than the players, except in Bacon’s case of course. Queens Lagic is a paradigm of casting confusion This troupe is pois@ on the brink of the future, nostalgic for their innocence, and clinging to each other.

persist in making movies about one old gang after another. (They also persist in making beer commercials about them.) There’s nothing inherently wrong with the topic, but you have to tell the w/&e truth. Not just that friends have good times and great hopes; butalsothat friendship is a complex, mixed bag. That belonging often requires some excluding (as i%zr Streets and l&er bravely demonstrated). The irony behind the romanticization in Queens Logic was exposed by &&VV magazine last July: Spiridakis and his friends worked up a lot of animosity toward each oth& during the development of the film. Lines like “What is this, a vampire movie?” and Spiridakis’ false,

pseudo-poetic, poor man’s-Woody Allen pose would be a lot easier to swallow if tJw plot simply made sense. Joseph W. Savino (from the &ghbourhood) co-wrote the story, and Steve Rash directed, but neither of them was any help. Mantegna plays Tony, the irrepressible central character, and the movie begins when he stands up his wife Carla (Linda Fiorentino) on their anniversary and she leaves him. Meanwhile, Ray (Olin) and Patty (Chloe Webb) are preparing to wed, but Ray is getting cold feet because he wants to be a painter, and he’s afraid shell hold him back. Dermis (Bacon) returns from LA, bragging about his success as a musicianj%l~ to reveal later that it’s all a lie. Spiridakis is Vinnie, a stud and an actor; Malkovich is ElIiot, Ray and Patty’s roommate,

employee, and a celibate homosexual. Most of the film has the men and women in separate camps, wanderingaround barsand stuff. The climax occurs when Tony is picked up by a luscious, rich playgirl (Jamie Lee Curtis) and she holds a gun to his head. He undergoes a transformation and sees the light. So he tries to climb up the bridge he and his friends always played on. Then he decides not to. Then he throws away the ring he bought for Carla. Then Ray picks it up and gives it back to him. Then Tony gives the ring to Carla. Then Carla goes it to Patty and Ray. All these symbolic acts, sQ@fying . . . less than

nothing.

I’m starting to get frustrated with this man Bragg’s last album, Work& hytime, is now three years gone and there’s not much since to show for it. Word is that he’s got an Lp coming this fall (he wants a fall release; his cornpan+ wants to wait ‘tilchristIrlas) and it’s about time. His only other release between Pbytime &d this single was that head-scratching El? ‘The Internationale” in which he gets out of the way covers of all those political songs that he has always wanted to do. The unfortunate p& is that he puts them out of his way into CMS where we might actuallihave to listen to them iniheer deference to his legendary Now to this release. “Sexualiv is a great song because it is suffused with one of Bragg’s more likeable characteristics: cleverness, The song concept is clever, the lyrics are clever, and

byTmmrBIair Imprint staff Richard Thompson’s been around for a long long time; rather than bog you, gentle reader, down with Thompson’s labyrinthine biography, suffice it to say that this man is an acoustic virtuoso with a penchant for enigmatic song structures and haunting choruses. After three listens to Rumour and Sigh I was surprisingly able to hum every melody, A vague familiarity seized me and I felt like I’d known the songs all my !I@! Songs of violence, torment, love, confusion and motorbikes; titles like “Backlash Love Affair,” “God Loves A Drunk,” and ‘Tsycho Street” Like an electrostatic

even the sleeve photo (though not his idea: he is standing in front of a highway sign for Essex, blocking out the ‘Es” to leave the first three letters of the song title) is clever. From the opening lines (“I’ve had relations with girls from many nations, I’ve made passes at women of all class&) to the bouncy refrain about sexual freedom Texuality, your laws do not apply to me”), this is a jangly and upbeat number that drips with influence of Johnny Marr, one of the two producers. There must be something about working with Marr that makes Bragg unwittingIy and transitorily sew shock-chameleon, Thompson is at once the Hustler-educated lover in “Read About Love,” the ex-con in “I Feel So Good,” and a storyteller laying down the legacy of a “1932 Vincent Black Lightning.” The side and alleyways of Rumour and sigh are but a subdivision removed from the desolate madness of Lou Reed’s N4w York or of those bound in Neil Young’s Free&m. And, like said masterpieces, Thompson keeps enough of a sense of humour to keep out of the mire of apocalyptic surrender: “A man his an inflatable doll made that looks exactly like his wife - he murders his wife;dissolves her body in acid, and marries the doll - three years later, he leaves her for another doll I. . .” (Tsycho Street’?. It took the human race thousands of years to create a Richard Thompson and a Rumour And Sigh. Hooray! Game over! Back to the caves!!! Toted as “the best-kept secret” in songwriting today, Richard Thompson has made it difficult (as well as ludicrous) for us not to adore him. FoMve the horrid album cover for a woad of warmth and chill.

Morrissey’s shadow on his boots, if the bridge of the song is any indication: ‘Tm sure that everybody knows how much my body hates me / It lets me down most every time and makes me rash and hasty / I’ve been a total jerk before your naked body offer.” Even the arrangement in this part evoke thoughts of the Suede One. I bitched at the ,bewg of this review, so here’s why. “Sexuality,” though excellent, is the only song on this expansive 12-inch! The other two tracks are remixes, the ‘Manchester Remix” (there’s that word again!) and the “London Remix,” of the same _song! Bragg releases one EP and this burp in the three years since his last LP! Bragg has got to be made .to understand that his fans will not stand for such negligence. Hopefully, the rating of one out of a possible five will make him sit up and take notice. And if he m knows what’s good for him, hell follow my advice and make surethathisfaIILPisthebestdarn record he can make. Or else.

Mhough you may not have heard the name Stu Hamm before, you have probably heard him play. Since 1987, the bassist has complimented albums by rock guitar wizards Joe Satriani, Richie Kotzen, and Steve Vai During three years of touring with Sat&r& Hamm released two solo albums: Radio Free Albemuth and Kinm sf Sleep,both in 1988. And now that the Satriani tour has drawn to a close, Hamm has started on his own solo tour focused on his new album, me Vrg;e. Stu has taken a new direction with thisalbum.MovingawayfromthealIinstrumental album format, the 31 year-old graduate of the Be&lee College of Music has hooked up with some major musical talent (including guitarist Eric Johnson and drummer Tommy Lee of Motley Crue) and sings on three of the album’s nine tracks. Never before has a bass soloist come out with such an album as 772e Urge. Stu Han-m has succeeded in creating, as he himself puts it, a more “rocking” image. One of the tracks, ‘Zone Star,” has already begun to receive airplay in the US and Canada, and it shouldn’t be too long before a multitude of Stu’s songs are heard on radio stations all over North America.

St-u is equally energetic in concert On July 15, at Rock & Roll Heaven in Toronto, Stu, accompanied by guitarist Alex Skolnick (Testament), drummer Ron Riddle (Blue Oyster Cult), and keyboardist Jimmy Yaeger (who toured with C&y Osbourne), put on an incredible show. The band really enjoyed playing together, and their own excitement seemed to rub off on the audience. Their opening act, the Randy Coven band, was pretty good too. One small complaint is that Stu Hammk vocals may need some improvement. Perhaps as Stu gets more confident with singing in a studio his voice will improve. Until then, Stu’s album wjl.l remain one my personal favourites, mostly due its “feel”. There’s something about the grooves that Stu catches with his bass guitar that makes the album almost infectious. So go out and grab it!

by Derek Weiler Imprint staff They say you have a lifetime to come up with a title for your first record, but a mere six months or so to entitle your second. The House of Love received much praise from British pop pundits in 1988, with the release of their debut album The House of Love. Their sophomore eff art, 1990s ne House of Love, was stupider than the first and correspondingly much more fun. However, the long wait for that record, and the uneven product that resulted, tarnished the band’s reputation as golden boys. Now, the House of Love have assembled a stopgap release consisting of old studio out-takes. Entitled

The House of Love, the IP features the cuts ‘Zove II,” “Love III,” “Love IV,” and ‘Zove V.” Creativity has never been their strong suit. To be sadly frank, this project fairly reeks of death and decay. The impression is of a band whose well of ideas (always a fairly dry and dusty thing in the first place) has simply evaporated What do you do in a situation like that? Cash in on your cred while you

monies. With beautiful tunes and arrangements, and inventive ly&s, as good as any of their work, these four songs are definitely the album’s highlights. The band’s only real attempt at the requisite slow, sappy ballad (akin to You’d Better Be Home Soon”) on this LP is “AU I Ask” It can be admired for avoiding romance, but it’s ambiguous sentiment can be too easily summed up with the oftrepeated lyric “All I ask is to live each moment free from the last.” That’s fury, I can’t figure it out either, ‘There Goes God” is another gOOd one, but smacks of trying to out-“Dear God” XTC. The rest of the IP is truly forgettable.

by Peter Brown Imprint staff Pop journeymen Crowded House have a new album, Wmdface, that might be better entitled Powce due to the band’s inscrutability. One minute they’re writing infectious pop ditties and the next labouring through tired exercises in ambiguity, Sure, they wear their hearts on their frets, but their sincerity is difficult to gauge. Listening to this album, like their previous releases, is a fleeting and ephemeral experience, but not necessarily a satisfying one. It’s quite pleasant to listen to its 14 tracks, but one is left with amnesia afterward. Even as I sit and write this review, I have to listen to the songs over and over again to even start to write anything about them. This sensation is worsened by the varying quality of the tracks: a scattering of good songs and a lot of chaff.

“Chocolate Cake,” the first single from. the album, is well-meaning but ham-fisted (a fault that recurs in “Fame Is”). All about the rampant materialism and shallowness of American society, it’s references are dated and its moral&m not well expressed: “The excess of fat on your American bones / Will cushion the impact as you sink like a stone,” “Fame Is” is the same kind of moralistic and cynical snitching on success and fame as “Chocolate

Cake,” which always seems problematic coming from what is essentially a pop band trying to self-promote and sell records. The famous are labelled merely “the handmaidens of end time,” which leads us to imagine where the Finns belong in this metaphor. “Only Natural,” “Weather With You,” ‘Fall at Your Feet,” and “She Goes on” are all great examples of what Neil and Tim Finn can do with simple ballads awash in tasty har-

been pared down from a duo to a solo act by Asher’s stay in jail for trafficking weed, while Shabba has cranked out records at a phenomenal pace usually a single or so a month in JahMek-Ya. Purther, Shabba has recorded a series of duets which have combined his roughneck rapping with various smooth c3oona, reaping massive success in the process.

Not only did it lead to a big concert dates throughout North America and Europe, it also piyed, we. .way& h& record deal dth Epic records, For his debut LP for Epic, Shabba hasn’t&anged his style a whit, except to abandon the duet format for an allout hardcore rap’n’riddim attack.

His fimt LP, the seminal Ragmufin Hip-Hop was released only in the UK Of course, that LP was released with the now-incarcerated Asher D.

H~UC~OUS ACWS shows Dangerous Toys’ true Texan background of footstomping rock ‘n’ blues, while stil keeping the patented fiendish ways that are heavy metal. They are sort of like ZZ Top - with an attitude.

That particular state of mind is stressed right from, the start, with “Gunfighter” and “Gimme’ No Lip.” “Best of Friends” should be a standard FM-rock selection, along with the intrinsic r.ock composition “Sticks & Stones.” A busy tour schedule and increased exposure on video channels should help Dangerous Toys move from gold to platinum status in the southern US. However, theix mundane style will limit future SUCcess elsewhere. The album’s pryducer, Roy Thomas Baker, has excellent credentials with such previous works as Queen, The Cars, and Foreigner. If the Toys collaborate with Baker on their next album, they should break new ground. It you want to catch these Dangerous Toys in action, they will be one of the opening acts at the “Operation Rock W Roll” concert to be held in Toronto at the CNE on August 18.
