Julie Ellis, who is former speaker for the Viige 2 Council and has experience working with the Feds, was appointed as the new speaker. In his report, President John Leddy explained that. the Feds felt the focus of OFS was inappropriate and wasn’t as concerned about central issues affecting students as it should be. During a conference this past summer, Waterloo tried unsuccessfully to convince the orj$anization of this.

Safety Van Coordinator Calvin Tripp was one of those present, and he circulated a petition among council members that was signed by over 800 students that disagreed with the proposed cutbacks. Steve Millard, Vice-President, Operations and Finance (VPOF), explained that the cost of running the van last year was over $50,000, which was $22,000 over budget. He stated that the Feds could not afford to spend that much money on it this year if they are to avoid deficit spend-

UW projects deficit for 1991 -1992 Under the previous accounting system, as President Wright pointed out, the University would have had a
byRoryMoes special to Imprint
In what one University of Waterloo Governor called a “historic event,” UW is projecting an accumulated deficit for 1991/92 of $1.4 million, the first such shortfall ever projected in its history. This revelation came at the first Board of Governors meeting of the fall term last Tuesday, September 17. According to President Wright, the academic year is off to a strong and vigorous start. Numerous

filled
the
meeting’s agenda, but none more so than that of the operating budget for 1991/92 and its estimated fund deficit of $1.4 million as of April ZKl, 1992. The accumulated deficit essentially means that UW will be in a negative financial position overall by the end of the school year. The reason tar the deficit lies with the recent changes in generally accepted accounting principles for non-profit organizations adopted by the University. These changes have required certain liabilities, such as a vacation pay which accounts for over $3.7 million, to be included in this year’s budget. Many, of these

We (especially poli sci and history types) have come to treat such horrors as interesting quirks of human developments. Dyer did not burst this bubble by describing peaceful change.

three-year perid starting 1993/94, the new system has been a significant and conscious step by the Board toward accepting an accumulated deficit in the budget. Other items discussed at the meeting included concern over “ominous signs” from the Provincial govemment regarding cuts in funding for the Province’s universities. These culs will require even greater fiscal responsibility and more ‘careful budgeting by the University in the future. Union negotiations with Plant Operations and Food Services were touched upon with the 400 member staff amicably agreeing to a 5.3 per cent wage hike. A revised edition of the Campus Master Plan was introduced by the Properties Committee addressing the potential costs associated with the proposed realignment of Westmount Road. The Master Plan follows a “green theme” whereby an environmental preserve would be maintained around. the Laurel Creek conservation area. The Properties Committee is concerned about the effect the reaIignm&t may have on the green theme and is studying ways to make the change less harmful.

“We hope to prove that there is an university administration, the private sector, students, and government, and that through this alliance, our goal of zero tuition can be realized,” Leddy said. OUSFA proposes that the provincial government inject an additional $175 million into the university system to raise Ontario to the national average in terms of per student funding. Leddy also said that one of the short term goals of OUSFA is to increase student contributions, with a corresponding percentage increase in the allocation to student aid.

point was that in a ten-year period, those living under democratic systems has doubled: presently, almost two-thirds of the world’s population is in such a system. lf China comes around (which he feels will before 1997) that number will rise over 90
per cent. Still hungry, Dyer’s listeners were gorging themselves on eqery morsel. Their patience and awe was finally rewarded as he moved on to his explanation behind the already discussed social transformations. The patriarchal system’s gradual collapse is at the root of such massive social, political, and economic movement. Female and minority repression, the “narrow masculine hierarchy, militarization, and slavery are all on the way out” (although women and minorities might dispute Dyer on this). He feels society has moved from “adult white males” to “adult males” to “adult citizens.” Recognizing this is not quite enough; Dyer hopes “adult humans” will eventually control society. In essence, he holds that our present organization is only in place because it is the most efficient form we know. This is changing as mass communication’s importance spirals skyward. Better informed people are discussing things more. As a result, the democratic decision-making process is moving from the top to the bottom - where it belongs. Higher literacy rates only endorse this trend as people become better equipped to interpret complex issues. After having the question and answer period c’ut short by show organizers, Dyer, having received a warm ovation, moved to the reception area where he entertained (endured?) even more questions (intelligent or not). Judging from the
compliments put forth by those asking questions, all enjoyed Dyer’s riveting, yet humorous, discussion. If you only attend one political, economic, and social discourse, make sure you follow the Gwynne Dyer optirnis~c pessimist road show. Imprint: tienerah’y, it seems acknowledged that democraq is the best pulitical system, what, though, do you feel are some of its problems? Dyer: You certainly wouldn’t.. . if you were developing a democratic system today . . . end up with anything like what we’ve got. But. . . representative democracy appeals in the fact, that in a mass society, where you have a democratic system based on a previous technological era, it’s the best we’ve got. You do the best you can. Imprint: Do you fee/ media literacy (bullshit dd4ctoTs) enhance disillusionment and apathy? Dyer: That’s actually very destructive. There is something fundamenfoolish about being tiny contemptuous of all politicians, even though we all are. It’s infantile, because you elect a government, for Christ’s sake, and now you blame them for what happens. Didn’t you apply some bullshit detection? Imprint: 73qv changed their bullshit. Dyer: You get the politicians you get, more or less, in a democracy. Imprint: How do youj2el women and minorities have un increused role in our system? Dyer: Poliical involvement (although still very limited) and child-rearing although I won’t go into that. Female participation in the business world, outside of traditional subordinate roles, which represents very rapid transformation. hprint: On our campus, political carrectness is pretty prominent. what do you think of this trend?

OUSFA Or
OFS l cont’d.

page 3.
According to the OUSFA, total university funding in Ontario has decreased by over 30 per cent since 1972, while student to faculty ratios have increased by 25 per cent. This contrasts other areas of the public sector which have enjoyed real increases in funding levels. Leddy is planning to hold a student referendum this fall to decide whether the University of Waterloo should remain a member of the Ontario Federation of Students. He feels that the OFS has lost touch with student issues in their attempt to maintain that “Education is a Right, not a Privilege.” While the OFS is unwilling to abandon “zero tuition” in the short term, Leddy feels that this is a necessary step to achieve OUSFA’s long-range plans of restructuring university funding. Leddy also disakes with the OFS on key issues of fee allocation. Whereas Leddy sees the UFS as having a specific student agenda that should be its priority, funds that the OFS derives from student fees go to more general issues such as abortion, which are n&t specifically studentrelated issues. “Students have to look at ways to help solve the problem,” Nick Jimenez, president of the Wilfrid Laurier University Student Union and a member of.the funding alliance stated. “If tuition-fee increases we the way students can help out, the Zgovernment has an obligation to help out too. We’re saying this is a partnership.” I

Looking for something to do? Is innertube water polo- full and you find yourself with extra time on your hands? Why not visit a part of the University that you probably haven’t been to before? Right now at Conrad Grebel College is a chance for you to explore four African countries. Displayed in the lower lounge of the college is an impressive collection of African paintings gathered by Ray Dirks. Dirks, a prominent Canadian artist who has travelled extensively throughout Africa, will be speaking at a private dinner for the college’s students and staff on Wednesday, September 25. He is available for private interviews earlier in the day through the college’s Peace and Con-
flict Studies department, 885-0220, ext. 265. Ron Mathies, who teaches at the College and is Director of the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies, in co-operation with Artists in Partnership For Africa, was instrumental in bringing the collection to Waterloo. The exhibition can be viewed until October 29 at the college and even better, the admission is free. The exhibit represents an honest attempt to project a more positive image of Africa and its culture in the face of often depressing and negative news stories on the country.

Student Service Spotight: The Safety Van
Since February, 1971, the Gay and Lesbian Liberation of Waterloo (GLLOW) has been an integral part of Kitchener-Waterloo’s gay, lesbian, and bisexual community, especially within the University of Waterloo. The time has come, according to GLLOW members, to consider the present needs of the community. GLLOW currently defines itself as an organization of lesbian, gay, bisexual and straight people working together to promote a healthy attitude toward sexuality. GLLOW is considering numerous changes. Its memb&rs are seeking a new mission statement as a basis lor future goals.
GLLoW’s ad-hoc Steering Committee is convinced that a public forum will provide the first step in creating change. On Wednesday, September 29th, at 9 pm, everyone even those who have had no past involvement with the group - is invited to attend an open discussion in rooin 104 of the Modem Languages Building. The meeting’s agenda includes a chance to voice ideas for future projects, for GLLOW’s general direction, and for governing body structure. Finally, meeting attendees v+l.l be given the to participate in opportunity GLLOW’s permanent Steering Committee for the Fail Term, 1991.
Goals, GLLOW hopes, that will enable the organization to broaden its membership and functions - to avoid focusing solely on the Uw crowd. As an &ample, GLLOW’s membership currently consists of less than 10 per cent womyn, even though womyn compose 50 per cent of its present executive. And it appears that, within the lesbian, gay and bkxual community, GLLOW is frowned upon by many who see the group only as an elitist clique. Changing crowds and attitudes is a difficult task. Can redirection and goal revision effect the necessary changes?
What can you contribute? If you are not able to attend the forum, pIease submit your written surgestions to the CLLOW office, room 209. of the Campus Centre. For further . information, call 884-GLOW.

fireside chat ly Peter &own
There will very likely be two student eferenda this fall, campus-wide votes in which all undergraduate students will be Eked to offer their vote on important esolutions. The first one, to decide whether the Univer;ity of Waterloo will secede from the Ontario Weration of Students, is comparatively rrelevant. I mean, sure, we’d save $43,000 3er year infees, but it is not at all clear that we zould secure the kind of lobbying voice outside of the OFS that we do while members of rhat organization, regardless of its particular 3et causes. The second, if it takes place,bwilI be enornously more important merely because it wilt Involve vastly larger sums of your money. Here’s some quick math: a typical building project will probably cost in the area of $10 million (last year’s failed attempt was a $12million project, of which $9 million was expectedto be contributed by students; student bodies at other universities have spent anyNhere from $5 million to $20 miltion for student centres). If the cost is paid off by way of a typical 25 year mortgage, that’s $4OO,U00 in capital to be paid off per year. Without interest, that’s already ten times what we pay to be members Df the OFS. Now, the good news. This year, itseems that the Federation has learned from the mistakes of last year’s executive with regard to this issue. If there was any doubt as to why last year’s referendum failed (like, oh, I don’t know, iust off the top of my head . . . three-year old survey information, no student input, a ludicrously short campaign, unfair campaigning by Federation executives, join in any time . . . ), Peter Hopkins sought to begin his term as Associate Provost, Student Affairs by dispelling that doubt. tie hired a consulting firm to analyze last year’s referendum, tell the Feds what w&t wrong, and recommend acourse of action for any new one. And they seem to have taken it to heart. First of all, they wilt begin by asking for input from students, Last Monday evening saw the first meeting of the Student Life Committee, a body struck to gather opinion from students about whether they want a building and, if so, what parameters it should have and how much it should cost. In November, this committee will decide, based upon this accumulated data, whether a referendum should be called and, il so, what it should ask students for. One has only to Iook back on last year’s Student Life Building debacle to understand how revolutionary the concept of consulting one’s constituency can be in student politics. If the process initiated by Federation president John Leddy and Hopkins lives up to its advance bilting, then critics should have nc way to attack the referendum because 01 peripheral issues like unfair campaigning. The undergraduate students will actually be able tc debate the idea of a student life centre on iti merits. Are you dissatisfied with the amount of recreational space on this campus? If SO, horn much are you willing to pay? Let the committee know. Its members will be gathering student opinion over the next few weeks, but ii you want to make sure they hear your voice, drop a line to the committee directly, care Oi John Leddy or Peter Hopkins.

What do the Rhinos think? With the House of Commons sitting again as if MI3 do anything else - and Canadians bracing for yet another round of talks aimed at improving the country’s constitutional competitiveness, what are the thoughts of the one federal party whose members are renowned for sticking out their tongues, wagging their ears, and crossing their eyes at any pditicd initiative? We don’t know. The Liberals can speak for themselves.

Memo.ry
by Sandy At& Imprint staff Whether the slow disintegration of the Soviet Union is a “good” or “bad” I thing remains to be seen, but as Gorbachev and Yeltsin try and sew the battered states together, the change to a free market and how quickly the retarded Soviet economy can adjust will be the make or break point. Fine . I . nothing that hasnlt been said already. Whether or not the USSR, or what remains of it, can make this transition depends more than anything else upon the ability of individuals to fight the past 73 years of extremely wrong Marxist economics, take the initiative, and switch the state-controlled organizations over to ones that will obey laws of supply and demand. Not an impossible task, but as close as you can get.
by Phillip Chee
But say that the transition is successful. What then? The obvious efiect would be for the Soviet Union to wind up as 260 million consumers for the United States and Japan. Just like selling candy to a baby. But the question this raises is that although a free market is all very well and fine for me to make my decisions and the rest of the world to choose for themselves, the question of how these decisions are made is almost never addressed. In a society like North America’s where growth, productivity, and “consumer satisfaction” are the holy buzzwords, it is almost impossible to market a product that is going to take any time to consume. If you sell one copy of Finnegan’s Wake to someone, it may take a little while to read, think over and discuss - the damn book could last a year. l3ut whip up a couple of Harlequin Romances, and they’re finished before you can say Big Mac. This is what the Soviet Union will inherit from their switch. The Soviet people will now be able to purchase all of the wondrous goodies froin the west. There’s no question they want them. Six-hour lineups in front of McDonald’s shows that. If anything, the ’90s will show the weaknesses of both economic systems. The failures of a planned system should be plain for all to see (except those who maintain that the Soviet Union wasn’t real communism). The free market is probably the best (or only) economic system for those who maintain the absolute importance of liberty, but unless there is a change in how people make decisions, then the freedom to dig our own graves will be the last one we have.
The silver maple trees in the woodlot do not come into being overnight. There is a history, a development from seed to germination to growth to its own fecundity, and back to the firmament of nature. And so does the grey squirrel partake in its own development, acting out its “timel&s script.” No species develops in isolation; the story of evolution is written in the relations that each species cultivates with another. It is a relation of complementarity, offering to those in need and exchanging it for something you lack. It is the ethical basis of mutual aid. Although the natural memory of the fossil record erodes any trace of these ties, I wonder if I can find my own Burgess Shale. Metaphorically, the ecologist calls it the food web. The mystic reveals it to us as evidence of the Oneness of creation or the interconnectedness of the universe, the Way. But alas, industrialism has cornmodified it, denaturing it ironically with the best of intentions. This poetic monism can give the mind a meaningful grasb of the natural worI’d, manifesting itself in myth and spirituality. But, left unscrul-inized it becomes a potent aphrodisiac that enslaves @man@; the Te Tao Ching that blindly shows the Way to the peasant or the bloody Wagnerian march of Nazism. If anything, our “mind” did not come to being in an act of supernatural willingness. Nor can it be said to be merely a random energy fluctuation, although I do not deny a sense of fortuity. Like the other plants and animals, our ancestors too developed with their own and with them a common natural h@tory. Our uniqueness (which at least hands us an ethical responsibility) does not set us apart from nature. On the contrary, it is the actualization of a natural process. Thoreau eloquently stated that he felt himself to be Nature looking into Nature. And while we look, we can participate in a creative and not just a destructive manner. For, like it or not, we are the bearers of nature’s memory.

forum Sex Ed TO the editor, It was disappointing for me to be reminded of the misconceptions that always arise over issues like the ones raised by Gwen Jacobs, a Guelph University student who decided to take off her top in the summer’s heat and was charged for committing an indecent act. I am referring in particular to a statement in V. Haag’s letter to the editor in the Sept 13 issue of Imprint. Haag wrote, “a man would get arrested for not wearing anything below the waist, how is that different from Ms. Jacob’s crime.” In answering V. Haag’s question I would like to also address any other man or woman who believes in the importance of equality but whose reasoning powers are shrouded by the traditions and cultural influences of our society’s sometimes illogical norms and values. That we should regard the identical conduct of two human persons differently for no other reason than that one is male and the other female is‘ not right. In fact, it is discriminatory. 1 believe this is the truth that Gwen has forced us to face in her brave defense of human equality. Let me explain to V. Haag and anyone else equally confused how a human naked below the waist is different from a human naked above the waist. The reproductive organs (the ones used in sexual intercourse for the purpose of the creation of an embryo) are the male penis and the female vagina. Breasts - male or female have no role in conception. If we agree that the sexual genitalia should not be exposed in public then this refers specifically to nudity between the waist and the knee (approximately), regardless of sex. If, on the other hand, we reach the consensus that chests are indecent, then both men and women should be charged for exposing this body part in public. But if one accuses a woman of public indecency because she is topless but does not @ve a topless man the same treatment then
this judgment is not based on sound reason and can only be considered sexist. With belittling the fact that exploitation of the male body is also prevalent in our society (I am rermnded of this every time I turn on the TV), I would like to point out that female exploitation is more common. If you don’t think this is so I urge you to explore the adult section of any movie rental outlet and compare the number of movies depicting females in half naked poses to those with males in similar circumstances. Exploitation of either sex can be conceptualized as yet another consequence of the confused state of thinking concerning gender roles and sexuality in our society. Will we ever be able to perceive each other as human beings rather than mere sexual objects? A good place to start might be the destruction of today’s psyche and the restructuring of it into one which honours all human persons as the equals that they are. P. Kirkland. hychology
Know vour riahts m

To the editor, . In your August 30,199l issue of Imprint, you published an article called “Know Your Rights as a Tenant.” While the article was very informative and fairly complete, one point was left out of the discussion, one which landlords frequently use to extort money from their tenants; I speak from experience. Many landlordswill place in their lease contract a clause tiat entitles them to claim a fee if the tenant sublets the rented property; typically a fee of $50 or more is levied. However, most tenants don’t know that according to the Landlord and Tenant Act, 91(4), this is illegal. I am told that this doesn’t render the whole lease null and void, but that particular clause in the Iease has no meaning. Furthermore, seine landlords do not tell
.
their superintendents that this is the case, so the superintendents will deny a sublet until that money is paid. This claim against your money to which the landlord is not entitled is probably criminal extortion (even though it’s just $50). This is what happened to me not long ago. A quick trip to small claims court resolved the problem. Be warned, and as the article in your recent Imprint said, be very sure to “know your rights!” Murray S. Kucherawy 28 Ma&KS
Safety vs. the Referenda
’
To the editor, 1 read with interest your article titled “Safety Van Service Threatened” in Imprint, September I3,1991. The articfe indicated that the Federation of Students’ executive is cutting back services and trimming budgets in order to save money. This same executive has also decided that this November it is imperative that Waterloo students reaffirm their membership in the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS). This referendum will cost the Federation thousands of dollars (based on prior referenda we estimate $8,208 - not including staff time). Many people including this writer are quite happy with our membership in OFS and don’t think a referendum is needed at all. If the referendum is to happen, there is absolutely no reason that it could not be heId in February with the Federation of Students elections at no additional cost to the Federation. During a year that has already seen Federation services cut back it would be extremely unwise to waste student’s funds on an unnecessary referendum. To suggest that safety of students may be jeopardized through further budget cuts, while allocating money for this indulgence shows that the
Federation executive-needs to rethink its priorities. Even if budget constraints were not a problem,it makes no sense to pay $8,000 today for something we can get free in February. It is also curious that although the upper offices of the Federation can’t wait to get out of the OFS,they have chosen to use al1 the OFS materials for their upcoming date-rape campaign. Instead of wasting $8,000 on the referenda the Federation should wise up, hold the vote in February and put some additional resources into productive services such as the daterape campaign - not to mention ensuring. that the safety van program is not cut back.

Forum Is Pete a plagiarizer??
Rhino(plasty): l cont’d. from page 60
To the editor, I would like to bring to the attention of Imprint and the campus, the reality of plagiarism. In Webster’s Dictionary, 1981 Edition, plagiarism or to plagiarize is “to steal the words, ideas, etc. of another and use them as one’s own.” On that accord, I would like to ask the Imprint about i& new (just about four months running) column “Fireside Chat” came from? Everyone is probably saying “well, the staff of Imprint thought of it.” Well, here is the clincher, on July 15, 1991 the Physics News mer darkmatter (one word, all lower case) went into publication. In this news letter there was a column done, by the then Physics Club president, entitled ‘Fireside Chat” (just over nine months ago). This being well before I started seeing a column under the same name in Imprint. I ask the staff of Imprint - where did they get this title (“Fireside Chat”)? Did Imprint think that no one involved with darkmatter (the Physics News Letter) would care? And what does the present Editor-inChief Peter Brown (who also happens to write the column) have to say about this incident of bad ethical judgement?
for jaywalking is pure coincidence.” Olive branches will be offered to keep other parties in line. External Affairs Minister Barbara McDougall will personally negotiate with Shiite terrorists for the release of Jean Chretien, in exchange for the complete works of Mordecai Richler. Hopefully they won’t renege on the deal when they discover his origins.. . he’s Canadian.

for my column from
On Saturday, September 7, .1991, seventeen members of the Sigma Chi Fraternity and several friends provided a pancake breakfast for over fifteen hundred Frosh and Orientation leaders, I am sure the lack of coverage in the Imprint was an oversight. I feel the people who worked hard making everyone breakfast before Shinerama should be given recognition for their efforts. A special thanks to the members of the Sigma Chi Fraternity, Theresa Cockbum, Arts Orientation Chairperson; Wendi Oaks, VicePresident Arts Student Union; and Sue Kohler, Office Administrator Arts Student Union. I certainly hope the editor will correct this oversight

nose job or snow job? especially welcome. However, should a snap-election be called, we intend to be ready. Careful of the party’s image, a communications program will be undertaken to put a Rhino-spin on PC - party correctly. Male candidates will only appear with nearbeer, a six-pack of condoms, and a COPY of Ironing John, a Rhino publication. Not to be outdone, Preston Manning, in a move of crass correctness, will change his name to Preston Staffing. As part of a comprehensive economic competitiveness strategy, we would remove federal tax deductions for Canadian managers who have attended the PeeWee Herman school of business administration. Canadian immigration policy would be streamlined to remove massive backlogs; anyone who could pronounce Michael Ondaatje would be allowed in. Keith Spicer will be given $20 million to tour the country and ask who is more Canadian: Bryan Adams or Rod Stewart? To prevent the masses from pondering the staggering federal debt, we will mount an “I saw Don Messer” campaign in Canadian tabloids like the Toronto Star and Maclean’s. Drawing on his close government sources, GIobe columnist Jeffrey Simpson would break the story to an unwitting public, reporting that Mr. Messer was spottedat a 7-11 in

Guelph will secede to Saskatchewan so that people from Toronto will think it is too far to drive to work To ensure continued Canadian content within our cultwal establishments, the Department of Communications will merge the appeal of Stompin’ Tom Connors with the hot sound of the Tragically Hip, to create the Tragically Stomped, a band all Canadians can relate too+ After applying for a Canada Council grant, lead singer Gord “don’t tax my sOfl~Ood”COMOrs will say, “We could make it on our own, but hey, we’re Canadian.” In a similar vein, and to silence critics, the National Gallery gf Canada will pay $28 million for Robert Bateman, who will be exhibited for two months with a flock of hungry Canadian geese. The humane society is not expected to complain.
On unemployment and the Constitution, we propose a confederation of people, where each person is their own country; each could also be their own customs officer. As part of a comprehensive free trade deal with Mexico, we propose trading British Columbia, (where most people already own panchos) for Ricardo Montalban and a 1974 Eldorado Iow-rider with a horn that plays Babaloo. They originally wanted Lindros, but he refused to play there. On national detense, bring back Bobby Orr. To alleviate the effects of mass transit shutdowns in the Greater Toronto Area and.the slowdown in the airline industry, we propose a redistribution of municipalities within the GTA on a more equitable basis so that all p’ovinces can share the wealth. Who is going to take the subway to Scarborough, NS? This will also turn the Don Valley Parkway back into what God originally intended it to be: an airport The challenge before us is immense. Earlier this year, the Globe reported that 1990 contributions to the Rhino party declined 33.3 per cent to $400. Meanwhile the NDP drew in $15.4 million, the liberals $12 million and the Conservatives $11 million. So eccentrics and eclectics, please make yourself known. As the Official Monster Raving Loony party demonstrated in 1986 in the UK, there is always hope. One of their candidates was elected to Ashburton town council on a reformist platform that included setting all acco.untants in concrete and using them as traffic barricades, and putting all joggers on a giant treadmill to generate electricity. Finally, we would introduce legislation giving politicians the right to strike.

Franqois G&aid
(1924-l 991): .
by Michael H. Clifton hnpriilt staff LAS week, Imprint belatedly announced that Dr. Franquis Gkrard, principal of St. Pa&s College on the UW campus 19774989, died while travelling in India with students and Dr. Qhdev &mar uf I/u’s environmental tiudies department. I have only met Dr. G&ard once, at his son i wedding about thm years agu, although I have known his daughter-in-law, Heather fur nearly 13 years. It is to Heather, her husband Erie, and to Eric’s m~therAndr&that I dedicate this, my firsr and introdtcctory consideration of their fiend and reinfive. (Ishouldalsu acknowledge the willing ax&tance of h. Daniel Sahas, Russell Loge, Al Evans. and S2hdev Kumur, . all of the Unive&y of Wuterloo, in preparing this article..)
I
Franqois G&ard died by falling into a ditch outside his hotel in Leh, in the territory of Ladakh, in India. Leh is a small, mountain city, some 11,500 feet above sea-level, and is important primarily for Tibetan Buddhist and Indian religious sites. The party of nine students, lead by Sehdev &mar of UW’s Envirorunental Studies department and accompanied by G&ard, had been in Leh onIy two hours when the accident occurred. Surrounding their hotel was a wall, approximately five feet high, and surrounding that was an irrigation ditch which was at some points only two feet deep, and at others more than six. In the wall were two gates, one wide enough for vehicles to pass through, and the other, next to that one, sized for pedestrian traffic.
At nights, only the smaller gate is kept open. There is a bridge crossing the ditch only in front of the wider gate, and space enough to go from the bridge to the pedestrian gate once one is across. There are no lights which make the proper way visible at night. It was lo:30 at night, August 8, when the group reached the hotel. They were walking, not deliberately, in a single-file fashion. In the lead were some of the students, who crossed the bridge to the wider gate and discovering it closed, walked to their Ieft to reach the smaller gate. Seeing that the students w&e heading to the smaller gate, G&=ard, who was behind Kumar in the lineup, appears to have decided to walk directly to the smaller gate, not realizing that there was no bridge to cross
directly
to it.
each one’s interpretation
Aft& his faI1, which was in one of the deeper parts of the ditch, the students and Kumar were able to get Gerard to a local hospital. In time, they planned to transfer him to a more advanced hospital in Delhi, but poor conditions would not allow a plane to land there. Instead, they were able to obtain assistance from a nearby airforce base, to fly Gkrard to Chandigarh on a “mercy mission.” GPrard remained in a coma due to a serious head injury until he died on August 18 at 67 years old. vvv
After any person’s death, a legacy is left. Grandiose or of a smaller scale, the legacy is nevertheless meaningful, to those who loved him {or her), or to those he (or she) foved, though

of it will be according to his or her particular relationship with the deceased. Franqois Gbrard’s legacy, not grandiose, but not much smaller, is indelible in those who knew him, and is informative now to those who did not. It is not the legacy specifically of his academic or administrative achievements, but of the kind of person he was. It is a legacy which is informative especially to those who seek balance and energy in iife in order to be all their fondest imaginations conceive they may become. Gkrard arose with France from the ashes of the Second World War, although we cannot at this time speculate much about his experiences there. Born in 1924, we know that he was a teenager when Germany invaded France, but it will be for a later biographer to discover any interesting details of what he was doing at that time. It is probable that his experiences in World War TWO shaped, in part at least, the compassionate server he became as an adult. Gbrard’s father, and many other family members were involved in the medical profession. It is likely he had next-tq-firsthand -knowledge of the degrees of humail suffering, and learned from his father a “bed-side manner” he would later employ in his own wc%k, caring for his parishioners iA each city where he wan a minister, for ;the students who attended St. P+% Cpllege while he was principal there, and in his work &I the last few years teaching relaxation and meditation techniques to patients in the psychiatric ward of KitchenerWaterloo Hospital. Al Eva?, G&ard’s colleague at St. Paul’s College, also knew him when they each pursued degrees at McGill University in the late 1950s. G&ard had previously attended the College St. Dominique in Voirin, France; at McGill, he sought a Bachelor of Divinity degree in preparation for the ministry. After pastoring at churches in Montreal and Almonte, Quebec, and receiving his Canadian citizenship in 1962, Grard pursued graduate studies at Hartford writing a dissertation on ecumenism. Evans explains that while at McGill, Gkard studied both theology and the practical aspects of ministry without deciding what his precise specialty would become. His later employment as chair of the history department at a Geneva College, Pa,, seems to indicate a specific interest in that discipline. The essential focus throughout his studies, however, appears to have been deeper than any mere academia. By all accounts, he was a scholar who sought evidence and understanding of the divine within the experience of the mundane. As a teacher of history or theology, it was important to‘ him that real life experiences be infused with spiritual content. Perhaps the best characterization we can give of Gkrard’s ideas at this early stage of investigation, is that he was able to balance diverse and seemingly contrary concepts and conditions in human experience. The relationship he perceived between the mundane and the divine is perhaps the most significant example. others include his ability to balance adequately his responsibilities at work and at home, and his impressive effectiveness in adding to the well-established community life at St. Paul’s College an aspect of academic pursuit without at all diminishing the quality of the college’s residential life which previous principals had created. made
At home, Franqois G&ard was singularly focussed on his family. Evans says he was essentially a
caregiver, educator, family-man attempted to dictate a particular lifestyle to them. His method of instruction in terms of relationships in the residence was by providing an example of interaction and caring. His favorite phrase, Legge said, was that St. Paul’s be “a caring community.” Evans added that Gbrard seemed to know every student by name. While building both a caring and an academic community at St. Paul’s, Gkrard continued to examine his personal interests in spirituality. Gerard had for a long time a profound interest in Christian mysticism. Sahas explains that for two or three years in a row he and G&ard attended the Medieval Studies Conference at KaIamazoo together. Each year a Fratiiscan monk from Boston also attended and taught workshopIike seminars on mysticism; each year G&ard attended them. After G&ard’s memorial service at I?arkminster United Church in
“family person.” Everyone interviewed commented on the deep devotion he and his wife, And&e, had toward each other. Although the G&a& had initially been pleased with the freedom gained when both of their children had moved from home, when grandchiIdren began to tiw thy opted to purchase a larger house to which the children could come for extended visits. Whether at or away from home, Gkrard was able to trust every material household concern to his wife. According to long-time friend, Daniel Sahas (professor at UW’s Religious Studies department),
AndrGe’s occupation more than qualified her to handle any business matters. Her husband, Saha~ says, never seemed very concerned for those kind of “down-@-earth” afhirs. mattm?3 Other **down-to-e artv very much intetited him. Grard is descrikdbythosewhoknewhimas Frenchman through-and“a through,‘~ a lover of fme foods, good cars, and good company. Of thc~ things, however, human relationships were of the most importance. Kumar, IFder of the expedition to Indiaduringwhich G6rard died, was impressed by Gkud’s sensitivity to the conditions suffered by people a.roundhinAIthoughhecharzicteristicalIy enjoyed a fine meal, and good fish best of all according to Sahas, Grard gratefully comprehended his own lot in comparison with the less fortunate people of India. Kumar related that G&ard told him, “it would remain a great, sad disappointment for him to see the injustices of the world continue. So he did not always like the food that he ate (in India), but he showed his gratitude for even the luxury of complaining about it.” G&ard’s sensitivity and attention to the needs and feelings of others was the basis for the many close relationships he formed with students who resided at St. Paul’s College during his time as principal there, GPrard’s career at St. Paul’s began in 1977, after he had served as a pastor to three different congregations, and held academic and administrative positions at four other colleges and universities. Sahas, who studied at Hartford with Gkrard, relates that GPrard
visited his office at UW one day, wondering if any he knew of any openings. Although he loved the cImr& the time seemed right to return to academics. Sahas quickly got Ghrard in contact with the committee at S@kul’s who were looking for a new principal, and it was c&y a short time before he was hired. Ghrd is remembered there for more than the academic programmes he introduced - a French mge emphasis, the Canadian &d&s option, the Franqois and And&e Ghrd Award, and SIFNR (Studies in I%mmaIity and R4igion) - and the physicat expansion of the school building for which he was responsible (bringing ii to its present size). He is also remembered as a counsellor and friend to each college resident. , Russell Legge, who joined St. Paul’s from UW’s faculty a short time after G&ard arrived, reflected that Gkrard “was involved on a dav-today basis with the pains and the’joys of the students. He knew pretty well all of them on a personal level, as their counsellor, friend, and leader.” According to Legge, G&ard was very open with the students, and, contrary td the conventions sometimes - employ.ed in religiouslyoriented i?&itUtiOnS, he - never

Waterloo, September 7, Sahas also related how Grard had been intent, on one of their trips through Europe with students from the university, that they must visit Tail, a Protestant experiment in mo~ticism in France. He was so ex,tited to remain there long enough to learn substantMly about their practice, that when the itinerary was interrupted he opted to remain behind-at Talz while the rest of the group went on. However, his interMs were not. limited to Christian mystic%m According to Kumar, Gkird had fur some time been wantiq to travel to India with Kurnar’s students, especially to visit ashrams, “spiritual abodes where a spiritual teacher has spiritual students” (Kumar). While they were on the trip, he and I&mar discussed the concepts of suffering in Buddhism
and
Christianity,
and
further compared ideas in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. G&ard had also been involved for some years with ecumenical work at various levels, including in the Canadian Council of Churches, and the Canadian Jewish-Christian Dialogue Consultation. He translated on at least two occasions at conferences of the World Council of Churches. Having retired from principalship
in 1989, Gkrard continued to teach at St. Paul’s, and pursuing those other interests. He also continued to prove that his ideal of discovering and building the divine spark in common reality was more a practice than an idea. For the last few years he had taught meditation techniques to psyK-W Hospital, chiatric patients at and was expected to return there this

1 BLUEBOXREVUE by Mark
Vanderkam
I will never forget Vinay Deshpande, who was tragically killed in a car a&dent two weeks ago. He was a man in the full flower of his life. He was two weeks away from defending his PhD thesis at Waterloo, and he had just started a job as Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the University of Guelph. On the afternoon of September 1, I was travelling with Vinay on highway 401, just 20 minutes from Waterloo. The driver lost control of the vehicle on a comer, and the car rolled three times. A physician came to us from a passing car to tend to the injured. I was unharmed, and neither Vinay’s wife, Pearl, nor the driver was seriously hurt. But Vi&y, who was slumped in his seat, did not have a pulse. He had died instantly from undetermined internal injuries.

Vinay is survived by his wife, his parents, and two brothers. And he is lovingly remembered by the many people who knew him. A memorial service will be held on Thursday September 26 at 7:15 pm in the Davis Centre, Room 1302. Vinay wasan extraordinary individual who was involved in the lives of many students. He was a gifted scholar, graduating with a joint Pure Math-Computer Science degree and then going directly into the CS PhD program in 1986. He was loved and appreciated by his fellow grad students and supervisor and will be greatly missed. In addition to his academic pursuits, Vinay was a popular Bible-study leader at UW for almost 10 years and made a deep impression on many lives. Coming from a Hindu background (he moved to Canada from India when he was six ye&s old), Vinay became a Christian in 1980 after a lengthy inquity into the teachings of several religious faiths, including Islam. He used to say that, in the course of his search, he finally came to a point of confwed desperation in his life. Then he prayed a simple prayer that the one true God would be revealed to him. Shortly after praying this prayer, Viiy met a Christian who told him that Jesus Christ is a loving and speaking God. He said that Christ would reveal Himself to Vinay if Vinay would pray to Christ with an honest and open heart. When Viiy did this, his life was transformed. He came into a vibrant personal relationship with Christ that filled him with a joy and assurance that he had never before knwvn Vi-y had natural leadership qualities that developed spontaneously after his conversion. Because he was a diligent student of the Bible and had a disciplined prayer life, he was able to help other people who were looking for answers to their own problems. Many UW students and alumni have told me how much Vinay helped them when they were at crisis points in their lives. One psychology alumnus, Gus Wright, showed me the room in the Campus Centre where he first met Viiy. He says that at that time, he was on the verge of suicide because of all the problems in his life. Vinay, he says, was instrumental in helping him through his prc~ bless and establishing him in a joyous Christian life. Vinay maintained a close friendship with Gus despite the fact that Gus moved away from Waterlm sweraI years ago. Another student, Paul L+onsdale, who graduated with a Master of English, told me how he never would have made it through university without Vinay’s help. Not only did Vinay help Paul when Paul became a Christian, he also paid for Paul’s rent and groceries when he was in financial difficulty. Furthermore, Vinay worked with Paul on organizing his Final Meter’s paper. I can give an almost identical account of how Vinay helped me. When I arrived at UW to study psychology in 1984, I met this zealous young Christian and was deeply challenged by his life. I wanted to be like him. He told me how he had learned to pray and study his Bible for at least an hour every morning and evening. He said that when he gave his life to God, God began to help him and guide him in so many practical ways.
UW Phd candidate Vinay Deshpande fondly remembered. Vinay’s influence also extended beyond Waterloo. He preached in the United States, Europe, and India, and students from Malaysia, Australia, and Germany were challenged by his life. To cite one example, an engineering student from the University of Stuttgart in Germany flew to Toronto immediately upon hearing of Vinay’s death, though he was in the midst of his exams. He had come to know Vinay over a two-month period last year when he visited Waterloo. Other students came to the funeral from Indiana, Michigan, and Massachusetts. Viiy maintained a testimony as a wholehearted Christian right to the end of his life. As usual, it was his whole desire to reach out to students with the gospel of Christ. In the last minutes before the accident, Vinay sat quietly, praying and studying his Bible in preparation for a Bible-study that evening. As the car began to swerve out of control, Vinay called qut the Name of his Lord: “Jesus!” Those who knew Viiay best believe that God, quite simply, called him Home. Several people who knew Vinay say that God showed them that Viiy had died even before the news reached them. While they were on their way to the hospital just after the accident, they read in their Bibles the verse from Psalm 116, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” Incredibly, this same verse also echoed through the mind and heart of a second-year engineering student at UW, though that student, who was in &gi.na at the time, had no way of hearing about the accident. Vinay had helped this student in both spiritual and practical ways. In the last year of his life, Vinay worked many long hours as he wrote his PhD thesis. In July he finished it and was immediately offewd jobs by several univellsities. He selected U of Guelph and started his work there on August 1. His academic supervisor at UW, Dr. Paul Larson, Chairman of the CS Department, says that the department would like to award Vinay his degree posthumously. Larson, who spoke at Viiy’s funeral service, said, “Vinay was ve+ religious but didn’t carry his religion on his sleeve.” Indeed, he was not obnoxious about his faith. He simply felt that he had found something good and therefore wanted to share this good news with others. He was firm in his convictions and could express them in a natural and lovi”gway. Well over 200 people attended the funeral service held in Toronto on September 4, and many came to the burial in Waterloo. Though Vinay’s absence is keenly felt, he has left a legacy and example that will kindle a flame in many people. His example will encourage othhr *Christians . to live’ selfless lives for-Christ. The memorial service on September 26 will celebrate and remember the life and ministry of Vinay Deshpande. Anyone who is interested in learning more about his life is ‘encouraged to attend.

Youth Building the Future (YBF) is 2n international network of youth of different backgrounds working :owards increasing global communication, cooperation, Jnderstanding, and awareness. Along with those fundamental goals, it is concerned with such global .ssues as the preservation of the Sth’s environment, human (especially children) and cultural ights, a human centred economic xder, world peace, the responsible lse of science and technology in society, an honest and impartial slobal media, and others. Three Waterloo students attended he fifth annual YBF InternationaI *onference in Oslo, Norway this .ummer, which had a specific theme )f Human Rights with sub-categories If cultural, children’s and environnental rights. The students were rlarion ‘Black (Spanish, Latin Imerican Studies), Caroline Guirguis (MA - Economics), and indrew Pape (Systems Design Eng., nt. Studies). The conference was Ittended by over 100 people from 38 mount&s around the world.
It was a fantastic environment for earning, discussion, and making great friends. The conference was structured with keynote speakers, small workshops discussing specific topics related to human rights, 2lenary discussions after workshops, Jady write-ups in the “YBF Today” 3ublication, social activities, and a Gpeaker’s corner on the last day that sllowed delegates to speak about 3reas of personal interest. Youth Building the Future started n 1987 in Melbourne, Australia at the Koyal Melbourne Institute of I’echnology. Since then, it has held yrearly conferences in Waterloo, 3uenos Aires, Argentina, Cairo, Egypt, and most recently in Oslo, Vorway. The head office shifts each year to :he country and universiw where the previous year’s conference was held. newsletters are 41~0, quarterly published. Waterloo has sent three delegates :a& year to the international con$rences, and has recently started to ;ponsor students from developing ,-ountries to go as well. We helpeda Peruvian delegate with travel expenses to Oslo, and till be sponsoring three non-Canadian students next year.

environment... Fundraising is of primary concern to many YBF chapters along with the promotion of some of the principles within the YBF charter that outlines many of the fundamental goals of the organization. Later this term, we will be selecting delegates to attend the sixth annual conference in Sverdlovsk, USSR, in August, 1992. Sverdlovsk is in the Ural mountains, on the Asian side of the USSR.

to achieve full cultural rights, independence and freedom? The workshop had delegates from Bangladesh, Canada, Egypt, Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, Peru, the USSR, and Zaire. What a dynamic bunch!
Mention was also made during the discussion of the dilemma in Canada with Qu6becois cultural rights, and Aboriginal rights and self-determination, As well, the Egyptian delegate expressed her viewpoints on Palestinian autonomy within and

Dave Si.m has two specific qualities as a writer/artist which enable him to cross over to an audience that would not normally pick up a comickok His characterization of historical figures in his book creates a recognizable quantity which may attract some readers. However, as he explains in this interview (continued from last week’s issue), this is not done merely as an attempt to broaden his audience, but relies far more on Sim’s personal tastes. Characters as varied as Oscar Wilde, Foghorn Lqhoxn, and the Glimmer Twins have ail received the Sim treatment in varying degrees of seriousness.‘ Second, cereblr~ is a work of epic proportions, large enough to successfully incorporate what Sim wants to say about politics, religion, literature, and whatever else he decides to comment on, and do it in an intelligent way. Unlike most books, Sim doesn’t have to save the universe in every issue - he can take his time and fully develop his ideas.
Love al&, Numbers that kind evercOme Sam? sort
the company that’s publiFhing B& mat’s one obvious ber@t of having of commercial success. Has anyone up to yuu concerning Cerebus in that of light?
sim: Oh Yeah, I mean it’s not an altogether common occurrence because people know what I’m like, but it certainly does happen.
Imp: Have
you just&tly declined the o$ers? Sim: Yes, for the most part We have done a
smaIl bit of merchandising, all of it years ago. It has always been in front of me, but no one had ever gone through it so aU you could do was speculate as to what would happen . . . and you can pretty well see what does happen. I think it’s fine for them, it’s sort of like Kevin and Peter’s little joke that sort of mushroomed, it% a very different thing if you’re spending 13 years really trying to say somr+hing. Over the course of 3,000 pages of, story-telling, you really don’t want a movie f$l of pizza and an animated cartoon show on Saturday morning. Look at the level of importance the Turtles comic book has, given the Turtles’ success, which is not very much at all. “This is where it came from - it started as a comic book”
heard of it” The mere kt of having a box in their living rOOm that pictures come through, they think they know everything. They believe that everything that’s any good or of any worth whatsoever comes to their attention and it’s really the compIete opposite of the situation. Most of.what you see is television, movies even newspapers are in television style.
Imp: Like USA T&lay, emphasizing the gmphics fur an illiterate population, it has basically taken on a televEon format. Sim: And the attitude, and the morality, that knee-jerk quality. There’d be no way for thep to address Cerebus even ifat some point 20120 decided that they need a do-minute segment about it for television. What would they do? It’s got nothing to it that they could relate to. Aside from showing pictures of famous people I’ve done. And they’ll want to know ‘Do you have an animated cartoon?” Well, no I don’t. “Well maybe we could get people to act it out, or we could dramatize it or blow it up.. .“Well no, anything that you did to that would ignore the point of what it is.
Imp: 27tat seemed to me the problem with the movie Comic Book Confidential. Thqv had ro
Dave Sim will be appearing at Now and men Books, 90 Queen St. South, Kitchener, In the afternoon of Oct. 19.
Imp: when yuu characten>e real people in your comic like Mick Jagger or Oscar Wilde, or the Mapx Brothers, do you use them because you ‘re Oying to advance the stuty line or just because you like them? I guess it’s a bit of both. Sim: Yes, it’s both. That’s part of the pleasure of doing Oscar Wilde: you put the parts of the character that you want in. Oscar Wilde has this very critical role in Jaka’s Story, and would definitely be the element of the story I would want to bring out. Usually you come across something th.& might help ybu right when you need it. At the same time that I was looking for a more sitister edge to Jaka’s Story, I came across a biography of Oscar Wilde and ten pages in, you think, I really want to do this guy. I want to take the image that I get of this guy when I read this biography and put it on paper.
WellI’veseen it a coup/e of times. and what seem to do is take one i~~twview with Ned Gaiman and they ‘Ilsplice it intojive-second biips aver a season (sim luughs). 11’0~ I asked you about the show actually liking wtiain aspxt~~ of it, I mean it tells me what Neil Gaiman is up to and what he thinks about whatever he> up to. andthat interestsme. It tllsmethings thut Ican ‘t getfium The Comics Journal. Dolt iy014 think it has any merits in that wspect? they
Sim: Well I only put things in that I’m really interested in.
hp:
Well you do seem to get pretv good ratings on those characters @m the readers.
Sim: Yes, yes, I’ve always managed to do that, it’s just one of those elements that all the way through Jaka’s story, and all the way through Melmoth there are scrupulous little bits that are of no interest to the average reader but are critical to me, helping develop the character. But that’s ‘a challenge to me to do. them as accurately as possible, you know. Reading the original correspondence between Robert Ross and Reginald Turner, being there as Oscar was dying; it’s a challenge, reading and re-reading the letters, trying to read between the lines. And there’s a satisfaction I get out of it, it’s something that genuinely interests me. Imp; Some of the mumy that Kevhr Eastmcm
and Feter Luird
have rpc’eived ffom all the Turtles rowvalties have one into Tundra Press, he/ping publish lesser a nowi comics in Britain, and I think irlto Mad Teenage Mutant
Ninja
Sim: I suppose it does, but they always ask those television type questions. I mean they skirt around Chester Brown. They interview Chester Brown saying “look, this is what he’s doing”, in two sentences you know. It would be the same thing as doing a two-sentence synopsis of Cerebus, giving the impression that this is just a wacky barbarian aardvark taking on Conan the Barbarian, who later becomes pope, and isn’t it a wacky, daffy guy who would do something like this. Imp: Do you think The Comics. Journal has
might put them in
Sim: Well, no, that doesn’t really tend to work. I tend not to like people with very broad appeal (laughs). Madonna would be a much better bet than Mick and Keith . , . . I don’t how who I could have instead of Oscar Wilde. I wouldn’t do WC Fields because I don’t know-the person that well. I would just do a standard Rich Little doing WC Fields. I can look at Rich Little doing WC Fields and say that’s pretty good, but if I see him doing Groucho Marx, I11 say “you don’t know Groucho Marx” because I feel I do.
I’m complaining about it like “isn’t this awful? VVhatcanwedo? Wehavetostopthis,“butthe fact is that everybody’s so obsessed with television, nobody could cdre less about comic books. They don’t register on teIevision. It would be impossible for a kind of witch-hunt panic sensation to go through the populous as it did in the 1950s because just trying to watch a comic on television puts you to sleep. They can pan across the cover, they can show Catwoman’s skin-tight outfit, and none of it could challenge the Dallas Cowboys’ cheerleaders. Imp: Have you seen the show Prisoners of Gravity? Sim: Yeah. Imp: What do you think of it? Sim: WeIl it’s wretched, it’s television, you know. It’s television doing comic books, television can do science fiction to a degree because it can do them as this eccentric sort, as “the weird one wearing way too many buttons to a party” type. Whereas comic book people are just very, very ordinary. Chester Brown is a very ordinary guy, I’m a very ordinary guy. We don’t talk in that excited high flown sort of science fiction voice that everyone in science fiction uses. About the only way that I have ever seen cartooning or comics work on television is just a camera moving very slowly around soniebody drawing as you watch the drawing develop and, overtop, just classical music. It works great. Or Pink Floyd or something like that. You become absorbed in the drawing and it’s actually more involving than any kind of television. Television always imposes its Dick Clarlcs between the viewer and the subject “I will sit here and represent you the viewer and say what you’re thinking.” It’s repulsive to even think of Commander Rick pretending to represent what I’m sitting here thinking. I mean there’s nothing more vomitous in the world. I saw Neil Gaiman on it and wrote to him right away and told him he should be ashamed of himself. But then a lot of these guys do the interview and they have no idea what the show is like. TV Ontario sends them tapes of it and they just sit there and wince in their living ‘rooms. hp:
I.q: Do these characters r@lect your tastes did you just huppen to come ucross the biography, or were ,vou genuinetv interested in Oscar Wilde, as we/i as uther characters such as the Maxx Brothers and the Rolling Stones? Imp: Ithought sometimesyou to get a broader appeal.

But to the world out there, the fact is that it’s toys, junk, movies, television. It’s very difficult to argue against that. I wouldn’t want to be in the situation of having to do that, to have people say “Oh, Cerebus, that’s the one that eats Submarine sandwiches all the time.“And you can’t really quarrel with them, because they know; their kid is the world’s biggest turtles fan, they eat pizza, they say “Hey dude” and stuff like that. Imp: You seem reulZy disdain$A uf that sort of
marketing, for obvious reasons. & you think that in order to market surhething and make it popular, it has to be made shit@ Sim: I think it’s more the preeminence of television. I don’t think we’ve really grasped that five years later on - everything is television. Some people may think Cmwbus is a suc-
cess now, well to most people it’s not a success because it’s not qn television. When you say Cerebus is a success, Canada’s longest running comic book, people will say “well I’ve never
makeeverything moving, even thought they were static pictures. 771~ rushed a picture uf the Dark Knighr past the camera, and it wusjust . . . annuying. Sim: Yeah, particularly because we don’t realize that as a culture, our knee-jerk reaction to anything that sounds interesting is to put it on television. Like a novel is considered a great novel if it’s’been made into a mini-series with an ex-Chariie’s Angel in it. Comic books don’t register, they put them on television, and suddenly the Flash is okay because it’s a television show. Batman’s okay because of Jack Nicholson, Superman’s okay because of Marlon Brando. We’re not standing back and saying, wait a minute, is this what legitimizes things in our culture, when some name actor or some teIevision network does a really screwed up version of something? And it bears no relationship to what that thing was; it’s sort of like a mixture of that and a series of hardened cliches. I mean I know it sounds like
Sim: Well helping and hurting. We have to remember that we are visitors there too. The Comics Journal and Chester Brown and Neil Gaiman and Dave Sim and the Brothers Hernandez, yeah, we’re exploring what this medium can do, but we have to remember that this environment exists for, by and about 14 and E-year-old boys. You can’t really say “It’s time to get all of this shit out of the comic book stores and just sell good stufp when the thing that has made all of this possible is all of those $1.50, $2 purchases of puerile garbage by thousands of 15 year-old boys. Imp: Well Iguess in that respect. comics arepre-
tty much the same us everything else, I mean 90 per cent of music is dross, 90 per cent uf movies . , . Sim: (Laughing) Well, exactly, or television, or anything else, Whoever you can squeeze the most money out of, those are the people that you try to appeal to the most. In the same sense, certainly a lot of the retail environment can’t understand that if I’m capable of doing something that would sell better, why am I

ness, is under the control of advertising. And nothing goes into anything that we see that could in any way offend anyone anywhere at any time. And we sit around talking about this great information society that we’vb got which is insane. I mean you can’t get anything on television, you know, look at the whole AIDS crisis, and they still can’t bring themselves to show how to put a condom on a banana. It’s that squeamish maiden aunt sensibility coupled with the arrogance that we have real communication that I think is dangerous. Imp: ?i!& thedungerofta/k shows like Uprah.
Sim: But that also makes it a nice place to come home to because there are people who have been with it for 13 years. They haven’t done anything else in their life for that length of time - for 13 years. Their marriages might have lasted six years, my marriage lasted five years, I’ve been doing &&us for 13. With the letters page, a large number of letters that I get are from people who really got steamed about something last night and realize the only person that they could write to who might take this and spread the word for other people to get irritated and say “yeah that really sucks” is “Aardvark Comment”. The guy that wrote about McDonald’s, you know, going in and wanting to get the two paper-wrapped hamburgers that w&e sitting on top of the lamps, and they said “no we’re throwing those away.” Well, where else are you going to get that said, no newspaper’s going to say that they all have McDonald’s advertising, no television show will do it, no radio show will do it. I mean, picture somebody walking into any media concern saying ‘lets do a real knock-down, drag-out expose on what
Sim: Yeah, absoIutely. Ultimately, we’re being distracted on a full-time basis. I think that’s certainly one of the things 1 see the letters page being for. From what are we being distracted? I printed a very passionate fetter from one guy saying that he wanted a boycott of Domino’s pizza because they support the pro-life movement and what not, and of course a letter comes in from a guy who manages one of the franchises saying you can’t punish the whole franchise; people have licensed these things out and are independent businesses. With a boycott, you shouldn’t try to make everybody think the way you do. You should just buy the pizza if
not doing that instead of what I’m d&g? They fmd it impossible to sell Cewbus because nothing happens in it far issues and issues at a time. That is their way of looking at a comic book where the universe isn’t threatened by Darth Vader every three months. “And until something does happen, I’m not going to sell this book.”

Of course, the running game was high on Waterloo’s agenda with the team netting 200 yards on 49 carries. The U of T defense had to concentrate on workhorse tailback Tom Chartier, who rushed 27 times for 101 yards and a score. This emphasis opened up some lanes so that fullback Orville Beckford could gain 74 yards on only 12 carries. Chartier’s main effectiveness came on third-and-short plays with Waterloo converting four of them. Buccigrossi opened the scoring with his 40-yard piece of trickery on Toronto’s second play from scrimmage after bolting out of the grasp of UW linebacker Andy Allen Later .in the period, the. Blues turned the ball over on downs after a’ quarterback sneak on third and less than a yard came short.

After two days rest, the Athenas were off once again, this time to Guelph on Wednesday evening. Waterloo fell behind early, but Sheri MacDonald followed up with a goal for Waterloo. The game ended in a l1 tie.
The Warriors exuded an offensive prowess consistently throughout the match, but were (by some miracle) denied time and again. The game was marked by a solid Warrior defense anchored by veteran goalkeeper Dan Sicoli. A dominating midfield combined w#.h skillful strikers kept the pressure on the weak Brock defense.
Athena coach Bruce Rodriques was pleased with the play of his entire team, atid in pa?ticularz Catherine Hollii?eld, Darka Tchir, and goaltender Andrea Jalbert. Each of these players were outstanding in their positions, and were a major reason for the successful outcome of the game.

Disappointing weekend for field, hockey byCadFkrgusm Imprint spcd.23
tast weekend, the field hockey Athenas travelled. to Lamport Stadium in Toronto to compete in the ‘Red and Blue Tournament,” Hosted jointly by York University !nd the University of Toronto, all of the tournament’s competing teams were ranked no less than 11th nationally after last year’s season. As can be expected, the play was highly competitive. Waterloo faced the traditionally strong U of T Blues in their opening game on Friday. Despite the loss of some notable players, Toronto managed five goals, as the
Strong play on the part of both the offence and defence allowed the team to hold the University of Alberta to a O-O tie. York University were the Athenas’ next opponents. It could be seen that the Yeomen were not the team they had been in previous years. An early goal by a York forward was followed by an incretise in defensive play. York’s second goal, on a penalty stroke was their last of the game. Waterloo played well defensively, and made some nice drives toward the York g&l. The next meeting between these two teams should be interesting. The Athenas field hocke team for the &ll season consists o P: Annette

llie Athenusare playing better with eachgame, losinga closelyfought match . on Wednesday Athenas struggled with new positions and new teammates. Next up, the University of New Brunswick. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that field hockey from the east does not compare to its western and central counterparts. Waterloo lost the match to UNB 4-0, but it was a learning experience to its fullest. Saturday was a better day for the Athenas. Facing the University of Manitoba, the team seemed to pull together. Practice drills finally found practical applications, and the players started to think, as well as play. A fade-away goal from secondyear player May Quan (incidentally, UW’s only goal of the tournament), put the Athenas on the scoreboard. The Manitoba team prevailed, however, with two goals of their own, for the victory. Sunday proved to be the best day of the weekend for the Athenas.

The Athenas’ first league game was on Wednesday evening at Columbia Field against Gpelph. Waterloo coach Judy McCrae saw this first game against a very strong Guelph team as a must-win. Unfortunately, after a close and very exciting game, Waterloo gave up the loan goal of the game with less than ten minutes to play in the 70-minute game. The Athenas’ next games will be played at Columbia Field on Saturday,Sept. 21 at loamagainst Western and at 3 pm against Toronto. Hope to see you out there cheering v our Athenas to victory.

Rugby Warriors tour the East Coast by Doug Milbum special to Jmprint
bars with them the night before were not the same first-team players who were setting up for kickoff against them. Even so, the Warriors put out a respectable effort on the field. Thanks to some excellent running by Waterloo backs Mike Fischer, Josh Windsor, and Jamie M&y, Waterloo led 12-9 at half-time.
On August 23,1991, after months of planning, 19 members of the rugby Warriors piled into two vans and left Waterloo for a lo-day, 4,500kilometre pre-season exhibition tour of Eastern Canada.
In the second half, however, the larger and more experienced TMR forwards began to dominate the game. Their fitness (and extra sleep the night before) began to show, as every run by the backs was extremely well-supported. This made the difference and the final score was 30-15 for TMR.
The first leg of the journey was to Montreal. The group was two hours late leaving Waterloo, and after side trips and stops, what is normally a six 3r seven-hour drive turned into 11 hours. The host club in Montreal was he Town of Mount Royal RFC, and they were kind enough to still be waiting at their clubhouse when the Waterloo side arrived three hours later than anticipated. Billets were arranged and after several beers and many songs at the clubhouse, everyone headed downtown.
The warriors massaged their vocal chords while sucking back a few beers at the clubhouse after the game, Team vacuum cleaner Mark “Kirby” Kilgour spread his fame around Montreal as boat-race team anchor. He later spread his dinner and those beers around Montreal when the chugging caught up with him. Another night of revelry on Crescent Street and the Warriors were off at the crack of noon for Fredericton, NB. After 14 long hours in the vans,

That day was filled by a relatively short drive to the Prince Edward Island ferry, a ferry crossing, and the drive to Charlottetown. The Warriors were hosted jointly by UPEI and the Charlottetown Abegweit RFC. The first night consisted of meeting billets at the clubhouse, then heading out to the local bars. On the way home, Rugby Zulu practices got the local Constabulary a little irritated, but cordial introductions from that smooth talker and cool head Dean Percy soon patched up any bad feelings.

Early the next morning all 19 warriors found themselves on Captain Mac Allen’s fishing boat in the Gulf df St. Lawrence, halfway between Cape Breton and Eastern PEI. Jigs in hand, the lads brought up quite a haul of exotic fish such as cod, hake, sculpins, and the like.

I think this one’s going to Doug! Photo by Joanne Sandrln
“Waterloo played a strong defensive game,” coach Glen Harper enthusiastically declared, ‘but I would like to see the team score more tries.“ Waterloo’s offensive shortcomings were evident even in the early stages of the game. Western kicked off to Waterloo, and the forward pack consolidated possession of the ball. me Warriors attempted to spin the ball to the open wing and utilize the talents of their speedy wingers Mike Baril and Brian Anderson. The ball was mishandled along the way out, and the Mustangs pounced on the loose ball to gain possession. The Waterloo team played a disciplined style of rugby, led by coolheaded Steve Slater. Western capitalized on the few Waterloo mental lapses to score nine points from penalty situations. After being awarded a penalty on Waterloo’s 22-metre line, Western opted to pass the ball out to’the backs, who ran strongly through poor Waterloo tackling to score a try. The convert made the try worth six points and the ‘Stangs added a further three from a penalty kick , Waterloo scored all 15 of their points frond penalty kicks, with Edson Castilho kicking effortlessly and consistently to help the Warriors win. Waterloo cannot depend on kicking to win the OUAA title on November 2.They must start putting the ball in the opposition endzone for tries In the junior varsity game, Derek Featherstone anchored a determined but overmatched Waterloo team. The Waterloo forwards had trouble in contact; they were unable to prent the ball cleqrly, and as a result, wrestled with the more experienced Wes-
tern team. The backs passed the ball too slowly, and like the varsity team, could not make the gain line. Coach Harper expressed satisfaction with the junior team’s effort. “The JV players showed their enthusiasm and determination against Western. The players are continually improving, and I look forward to a winning result against York.”
Waterloo plays at York this weekend. Last year, York won the battle and finished ahead of Waterloo in the standings. The Warriors would like to improve their standing to 2-0, and prepare for a tough week They play McMaster and Queen’s, two traditional rugby powerhouses, within four days. Waterloo will have a tough time against these opponents if they don’t score tries.

Waterloo was anchored by the strength of UW athlete of the week Edson Castilho’s kicking and the forward packs’physical play dominated the loose play. The Waterloo pack improved its scrummaging considerably from the previous week’s performance against Guelph. Veteran Mark Roest added stability and presence to the front row which played competitively. However, the Warriors still lost five of their own strums.

Unfortunately, Halifax did manage to keep scoring even with the small amount of possession won by the Halifax forwards.

Afterwards, the Warriors headed downtown to experience a Halifax Friday night and some of the cheapest draught beer in Canada. Edson Castilho took advantage of the cheap beer for a little power drinking session, leaving the other Wtiors in awe. However, not much was heard from him for the rest of the trip.

mishmash... This tour saw a Waterloo team that was a mishmash of first and secondteam players and alumni thrown together against excellent opposition. Although the Warriors were O-4 on the tour, the playing performance was excellent considering the level of the oppo&tion. The Waterloo side Was close in every game, against more experienced senior club players. Some of the younger players gave excellent performances in the face of strong opposition, indicating that more will be heard of them in the upcoming season. These include forwards Mark Cameroon, Dave Turner, Rick Schnurr, and Darren Leblanc, as well as backs Derek Featherbed, Jamie Misw, and Josh W!ndsor.

The Warrior golf team, split into two squads, tied with itself for fifth place in the Trent Invitational Golf Tournament on Monday, Sept 16 at the Lakeridge Links Golf Course in Peterborough. Ten players from UW competed against ten other university teams. Coach Doug Painter divided the UW golfers into two teams: Waterloo A, captained by Craig Moore; and Waterloo B, captained by Matt Kwiecien. Counting the best four scores of the five team members, both Waterloo squads finished with identical team totals of 326, for a tie at fifth place. Defending OUAA Champions, Queens University, finished first, with a score of 314. Top individual results for UW were Craig Robinson and Shawn Brown, both with 79, and Greg Lawrence and Jamie Peden with 80. Other team members were: Derek Rynard, Mike Zidar, Scott Clayworth, and Ed Butt. The

So what were you doing on Thursday, September 12? Battling Archaas-style mayhem with 900 of your closest study buddies in an attempt to procure a limited edition bottle of Fed Dry inside Federation Hall, or were you one of the 900 fashionably late tossers fisticuffing your way into a line up going nowhere outside Federation Hall? My eyes water and my throat gums up every time I think of that fateful Thursday when Canada’s Largest
have gone from peddling for coins at the Waterloo Busker’s Festival (then a streamlined trio of Steve, Ed, and Tyler) to peddling logoed parapherna1ia to a pack of ravenous walking advertisement wannabes at UW’s mammoth mamba mansion. How does this happen? If you were one of the lucky 900 early enough to avail of the Fed’s Free E-4 9 gimmick, the reason is undoubtedly Krystal Carrington clear. If not, read on for a* little course on the merits of being an early bird. Listen up class, listen up. Lesson 1. It is a good thing to show up early for a Barenaked Ladies show in order to secure a comfortable position on the dance floor for you and your other Ed Robertson-lookalike friends. Once you’ve achieved this, you can then sit in a circle, so that that evervone else in the hall can point
Lesson 2. Now that you’re inside the hall, rubbernecking your way up and down both levels, grooving to your favourite “Guitar Rock” track, the stage is set for a raucous evening of retro. Take off your tie-dye T, hide your Zeppelin pin (not your C20H6 pin, BOZO), close your eyes and envision yourself hanging out at the local shopping mall. If you think that Dee-lite have captured the essence of reliving the past, you’re in grave danger of failing this course. Memorize this. Eighties is where it’s at. Lesson 3. At a Barenaked Ladies show, cover songs to look forward to include Prince’s “When Doves Cry,” “Still Ill” by the Smiths, Madonna’s “Material Girl,” and “Fight the Power” (need l say Public Enemy?) Add to this playlist a generous help- , ing of Rush and Max Webster (Cana-
songs not to look forward to at a Barenaked Ladies show include Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone” and God forbid you even think about “American Pie.” Lesson 4. Ever thought Kraft dinner could induce uncontrollable laughter? Ever really care how they got the caramel into the Caramilk bar? Do you agree that broccoli and pea soup make up two of the five flavours in 5-Alive? Have you seen every episode of the Flintstones and still can’t figure out what exactly Barney Rubble does to bring home the bacon? You have just passed the midterm. Lesson 5. At a Barenaked Ladies show, between sets, you can conceivably weave your way up to the front to have your favourite Lady con you into buying one of their T-shirts. do Bet you’d never see Mellencamp
Lesson 6. Trust me on this. It doesn’t take long before you too can unabashedly sing right along to the lyrics of “If I Had a Million Do1lars” or “Be my Yokr,, One.” If you’re the shy type, trip down to your local Hot Meat Varnish and pick up a copy of their independent self-titled fivetrack EP. You know what to do after that. Lesson 7. Be sur? to clip out the Barenaked Ladies Trading Cards out of this week’s Imprint in order to get them signed at their next gig. Marketing students, I’m sure, can appreciate the $84 value of this lesson. Now class, just before I let you go, to be submitted on Monday, I would like you all to copy out “I wiJl never
be late for a Barenaked Ladies show again” 500 times in technicolour. Yes, that means I expect you to use a different coloured pen for each word.

Steve’s Barenaked ambition ‘?n the last article you wrote (August 30), you picked up on the image we try to construct.. . Ill be the first to admit that it’s a constructed image.”
by PaUl Done Imprint SW At first glance, the Barenaked Ladies might seem like a bunch of suburban nostalgia mongers, selling their audiences prefab memories of AM radio and fruit-flavoured Hostess chips. But, a second glace will show that the Barenaked Ladies. . urn . . er . . do exactly that. They do it with wit, panache, and a dash of kitsch and manage to carry it off without becoming a Ldu’s

that we’re being retarded for doing this. Having said that, I do love Wilson Phillips.” The whole notion of selfconsciousness is an important one when discussing the Barenaked Ladies. Where Wilson Phillips are making lots of money from rehashing the seventies in the form of Fleetwood Mac, without admitting to it, the Ladies’ nostalgia and influences are readily admitted to. ‘There’s a kitsch to this instant nostalgia thing, and we’re really, really guilty of it. . . I feel badly about that because I see what Dee-Lite has done fpr the seventies and I don’t really approve of it.” The Barenaked Ladies aren’t the
For all the mugging and suburban schtick, Steve claims that the Barenaked Ladies don’t enjoy the whole scene. “I don’t really find pleasure playing in shopping malls and record stores - but I like to pretend that I do, because I find that humourous. After all, it’s what Tiffany did.” Ah Tiffany, that doyen of the department store, that fatima of the

In fact, one of the unique elements of the Barenaked Ladies as comp?red to their contemporaries is the way that they incorporate hip-hop inta their mishmash of styles. Without trying to mimic the original, the Ladies cover Public Enemy’s “Fight the Power,” and customarily close their shows with a medley of bits and pieces from Soul II Soul, Maestro Fresh Wes, Public Enemy, and others, with human beatbox courtesy of Ed. At Mtiriposa, after a set which was lapped up by an audience there to see folk music, the Ladies returned to the stage to kick their medley, and got a massive response from the crowd. “It was important for us to do that because hopefully people are smart enough to come away from an experience like that and say ‘maybe I should give rap another listen Maybe they won’t. If five people out of the audience do though, it will have been worth it.” And to those who claim that they’re just another bunch of white guys hijacking black culture: “I think that we’re doing it authentically - with our instruments and cultural background. That. makes me ~ haY!ZZo~?~tin universality to suburban experience - all around ~ the world suburban kids do the same ‘I things: watch TV, listen to music, ,( drink, get bored, go shopping, borrow ma and pa’s car, crash said car, etc. Along with the not-somundane fact that they have an impeccable ability to write pop songs, the Barenaked Ladies consciously tap into that pool of universal experience, There’s gold in them thar suburbs, ~ and don’t be too surprised if you see I the Ladies truckin’ around with a sack ( or two of the stuff slung over their 1 shoulders in the near future.

While KLF, a,ki. the Justified Ancients of MuMu, have had dribs and drabs of success before with “Doctorin’ the Tardis,““3AM Eternal” is a giant commercial leap forward. Who would have believed that one-time Echo and the Bunnymen manager Bill Drummond and sidekick Jim Cauty (a.k.a. King Boy D
From beginning to end, The whirs Room delivers on the promises made, but never quite delivered, by previous KLF and JAMS releases. The first side is : mixed non-stop house groove. Opening with the obvious “What Time is Love?,” the album segues into the more mellifluous “Make it Rain.”

Not only do these albums contain my two favorite dance songs of the year so far, but they also represent leaps to much higher levels of success for both artists. The facile connection between the artists is that each chooses to go around in disguise Clail in facial bandages and KLF in ritualistic black robes.

According to the promo stu& Art Bergman, the bad boy sweetheart of Ms. Canadian Content, isn’t angry; he’s just “. . . savagely disappointed.” (but is he heavy? - ed..) What’s on his mind these days, you ask? He doesn’t talk about adult survivors of incest (“Our Little Secret” from his first album Crawl with Me) or tired, old rock ‘n’ro13 never-was’s trying to pass for has-beens (“Bound for Vegas” from LP number two Sati Rouktte). Topics floating around his mind these days range from the democratization of Eastern Europe and the questionable enlighening forces of popular American culture to disillusionment and Marianne Faithfull. “Remember Her Name,” the first track (you might think it’s called “Marianne Faithfull” but it’s not) started getting a lot of airplay this summer as did the first release “Faithlessly Yours.” Both songs are strong pop numbers with catchy choruses. “Faithlessly Yours” is fun, jangly guitar stuff complete with “la”ing and “ooh”ing harmonies and a happy, plunky piano. “Remember Her Name,” Art’s ode to a bad day and feeling like a fallen hipster diva, is darker, but since all you remember is the chorus, it is not so very depressing. Art uses metaphor and mystery in “American Wife” and “Message from PauL” Metaphor: the “American Wife” is the sleazy spouse who is tricking Husband USSR into buying into the cheap0 American nose candy dream. (Yo! Art, FYI, America is governed by men, so is the USSR. Wouldn’t the Cain and Abel thing have been more appropriate?) Mystery: who is Paul? St. Paul? Pope John Paul? Who is Paul Westerberg? Well this song is slow, languid even and a nice change of pace from the overtly political and sometimes cantankerous cuts like “God’s Little Gift,” “Baby Needs Oil,” and “I Can’t Change This World.” ‘Tf She Could Sing”has pulIed way out in front as my fav song on the disk It leaves behind the feedback

An abbreviated “3AM Eternal” kicks the intensity back up a couple of notches and booms into “Church of the KLF” and “Last Train to Transcentral,” which updates Kraftwerk’s “Trans-Europe Express” for ‘91. And that would be the end of the dance side.
The reggae elements and washes of grey noise which punctuated “Em of the Century Party” have been mos tly stripped off to produce a mart skeletal, yet no less propulsive for mula. Thematically, Emotiona Hodigm moves away from tht apocalyptic visions of End ant focuses in on the cruelty and violence of day to day life: “Another dome&< drama / in a suburban hell (“Emotional Hooligan”).
While the intent of side one is evident at first listen, there’s a constant sense that side two might be more than a bit of a joke. “Build a Fire” sounds like Twin Peaks music performed with a thick Scats accent, while ‘yustified and Ancient” is a paean to the righteousness of the JAMS - “Rock Man he is made of bricks / and King Boy’s lost his screws.” While Gary Clail and the On-USound System continue to be found in the “Alternative” section of record stores (whatever that archaic term means anymore), Emotional &oligan and copies of the singles from it, have started to appear in Dance music sections - that’s kind of a lateral move from one ghetto to another. Clail continues to move toward dance-friendly beats, a move which began on last year’s End of the Century Party. Before, CIail had specialized in mating his quasitoasting to Tackhead’s grinding headslamming industrial beats. Emotional Hooligan was preceeded by “Human Nature,” a topthree hit in the UK “Human Nature” is easily one of the catchiest dance grooves of the year. To great effect, it mi%es Clail’s Panting about greed and exploitation wirh a muscular acid groove.
‘IMagic Penny” mixes a simple child’s song with found voices to haunting effect. The second single from the album is “Escape” a low and slow groove with a raggamuffin feel. In a disconcerting commercial ploy, Emotiunai Hooligun includes a remix of “Beef (How Low Can You Go?),” which was a minor hit from End ofthe
Century Puny Despite the fact that the sound is clearly more accessible than before, Adrian Sherwood’s beefy production ensures that the music still produces solid blows to the solar plexus. There11 be no mealy-mouthed defence of dance music here, 771e

He knows that if the women he has put on display in his lyrics could tell the world about him, then the shoe would be on the oeer foot and it would be kicking his butt!
the album is balanced between harder stuff complete with feedback and accessible, feel-good pop numbers.

Oh Jangle/and. . . Forget England, it doesn’t exist anymore. Maggie took it with her when she and Dennis headed off to the Isle of Disposed Dictators. I hear it’s nice, the Isle that is, and the Thatchers have a rqom right beside Panamanian strongman Manuei
Noriega, who, apparently, is not so strong because even Dennis has beaten him in three-out-of-five armwrestling competitions. The England of Spinal Tap, Ska, the Smiths and several other S-related musical bands and trends is gone. What is left is a new generation of shoe-looking bands, a new Sphenom aptly named as the bands do not lift their heads as they jam out their sundry music but only stare at their shoelaces as though there is some mysterious truth interwoven among the fibres, who hack out their guitar driven music without any pomp or circumstance. Several common traits transcend
YEAR SIXTEEN 1
*alI of these bands which range from the likes of Ride right through to The La%. Namely these traits are a penchant for the saccharin elements of the love song, traceable origins to England (the sovereign state of jangle pop bands), white, middle-class, art school backgrounds, .and the use of every jangle-enhancing guitar effects pedals available on the European Common Market which fuse the sounds of all of these bands which include Blur and Chapterhouse. Blur’s lehure is an album which shares much with it’s shoe-looking cronies. It has a singular sound which comes together for the singles especially ‘There’s no other way” but is stretched too thin over the 12 songs which constitute the album “She’s so High,” “Bang,” and the aforementioned ‘mere’s no other way”are this album’s sole highlights. The rest of the album is more of the same but is inferior as it is akin tir clothes that cover you everywhere but fit you nowhere, Blur lacks style and individuality.
Chapterhouse’s Whirlpool succeeds on the points where Blur fails. The band’s high energy sound may be similar throughout the album but the fact remains that it is a high energy sound. Driving beats and distorted guitar work characterize Chapterhouse and tie them closer to the likes of Ned’s Atomic Dustbin then to bands like Blur and The High. Tracks like “Breather,” ‘Pearl,” and “Falling Down” stand out among the web of tracks on whi#0ol. Chapterhouse’s tracks “Something More” and “Autosleeper” were produced by Cocteau Twin’s guitarist Robin Guthrie. The remaining tracks were overseen by a consortium of experts including engineering Stephen Hague, Ralph Jezzard, and John Fryer. wh~~/pool is worth a listen whereas leisure should be avoided. Blur is best on their remix singles which enhance the best elements of the band and do not give away the fact that these elements are the only elements which the band has. is a tribute the beau@W Iwe which they respect within Julian Cope. Well, not really, but the song is a fine song regardless. The remaining tracks on the single are “Kinky Love” and a demo version of “Hair Shoes.” As for the latter, the concept of a demo track, complete with the connotations of a little rehearsed, roughly hacked out, 4track version of a song, is negated when the demo track in question is as slickly produced as the other three tracks. Nonetheless, this alternative version of “Hair Shoes” weighs in as an equal to the other material on Flesh Baloon . “Kinky Lme” is a Cruise-like lovey-dovey bout with the Nutrasweet Plum Fairy.

called a reworking of that self-same genre of music. By encompassing light and airy vocals, dare I say breathe, with somnolent musical arrangements, Flesh Babon constructs a mellifluous musical mosaic which can be closely tied to the likes of 7?zis MO& Coil and J&V Cm&e.. The opening track of Flesh Babon is by far the finest piece of crafted music on the single.

It succeeds in capturing that cer@n forlorn and, yet, assured characteristic which Lee’s abandoned but stalwart persona championed. Flesh Baioon is a rarity in these remixed and remastered times. It stands as a single which presents four pristine tracks which all stand together on an equal footing. It is a solid single which lacks ail of the rampant commercialism which generally rears its gold-covered head at the mere mention of those two magic letters EP which for once do’not stand for “easy profit.”

Dave Sharp was n&d more for his guitar playing than for his songwriting during The Alarm’s eight year existence. Only three of his own cornpositions - “Across The Border,” “Tell Me,” and ‘Xeason 41” - were ever recorded by the band, and the last of these was way back in 1984. He did make significant contributions as a co-writer, but more often than not his efforts were overshadowed by the work of frontman Mike Peters and bassist Eddie Macdonald. Sharp steps out of the shadows on Hard Traveilin ‘, originally intended as a side project, but with the break-up of The Alarm this past July, it becomes the first solo release for any of the Welsh quartet’s members. (Mike Peters will reportedly release a solo album within a year’s time.) Hard Travellin ’ consists of an electric side and an acoustic side. The former follows the same direction as the last two Alarm albums in that it is purely mainstream rock ‘n’ roll, with none of the rough edges or sparks of rebellion that characterized their early material and made it both exciting and briIliant. The latter has folk and blues qualities to it and emphasizes Sharp’s belief that man will be redeemed from the continual hardships of life if his faith in God is strong. There were times in The Alarm when Sharp sang lead vocals and seemed out of place in doing so because Mike Peters was the established and recognizable frontman. Sharp’s throaty voice holds up well on Hard Travellin ‘, however, and is complimented on the electric side by the organ playing of&ties blues veteran Al Kooper. Kooper takes on a role similar to that of Bobby Wiseman in Blue Rodeo: he isn’t absolutely necessary, but he is damn fine to have around. “Lang Black Night” and “Wonderful World,” in particular, highlight his skills. The latter track is a reworked version of the one that appears on The Alarm album Raw (credited to Sharp and drummer Nigel Twist), with the harmonica part replaced by Kooper’s Hammond B3. Hard Travel&n’ is a promising debut for Dave Sharp. It conjures up many images - Bob Dylan in his prime, Neil Young singing “Sugar Mountain,” and The Alarm cranking out their live staples “Blaze Of Glory” and “One Step Closer To Home” - as it proves he is capable of standing on his own without The Alarm. -
The ‘song’s intro is reminiscent of “Stairway TO Heaven,” T wishing life was like The Cosby Show and police come to your house to get your cat out of the tree etc. But as T tells US: “Shit ain’t like that!! It’s real fucked up!!!” And then BANG!, Body Count comes to life; a bit of rumbling of the bass, then the guitar detonates and. . . “God Damn, what a brother gotta do / to get a message through / to the red, white and blue.” Not what you expect in the middle of a rap album. Anthrax’s collaboration with Public Enemy on “Bring The Noise” certainly expanded PE’s appeal amongst predominantly white metal fans. IceT attempts this on his own, crossing over into “metal” territory without any “approved” emissaries. A bold move that should leave jaws ahang-in. If I haven’t aIready, I’d be writing an essay tryirig to comment on every good track - one last surprise is “The Tower,” T’s vision of oppression as product of system, in this case the prison power strutire. Find me
by Trevor Blair. Ilnprint Staff Every year there’s a select few albums that inspire me to RAVE/ RANT about them; many are good, many bad, yet wonderful is the release that makes all the sifting and searching worthwhile. Q.G. comes across with the urgency and honesty of “a black CNN” without sounding tired after three or four listens. Ice-T is, first and foremost, a craftmaster of the rhyme, easily up there with Chuck D. of Public Enemy or Ice Cube, formerly of N&gas With Attitude. With an hours wotih of solid rhymes and funky beats, and a lyric sheet long enough to hang yourself, T has produced his best album yet, and one of the best of ‘91. Things get underway with “Home Of The Bodybag” (LA) which is basically Ice-T shouting out various song and album titles, a sort of “word up” to himself and his struggle from prison to pop star.
Side one: eleven tracks including the “hits”“Hustler’: (also on the New Jack City soundtrack) and the title. track. T establishes himself of course as the meanest motherfucker (and you shouldn’t mess with him) or y0u’l.I get hauled off (or your teeth smashed in.) Apart from the bravado, here’s lots of ‘splainin - where T lets us know why he calls himself a nigga “Straight Up Nigga” or about his generic perception of the label “bitches” (on “Bitches 2’-‘.) “Ed” and ‘The House’:’ ire more snippets than songs, chronicling the death of a. friend and tension-fuelled suburban trauma. Apart from one lame attempt at humour “First Impression,” T invests the “Mind Over Matter” manifesto into every track - it’s the same mesage as”Letha1 Weapon”from his last Lp Icebee. - of using your smarts to rise above minority oppression and the “economic prison” of the streets.

It would follow that any “minority power” movement defeats itself on principle by not including all other similarly oppressed minorities. Wake up Chuck D. Loud and proud, Ice-T sez what he sez. After lambasting the gulf war, the police and George Bush, he stands defiant: “I’m outta here . . . you should’a killed me last year.”

Marvin‘s voice had been burnt raw by the ravages of touring and he delivers songs with a rough edge previously missing. “LA Get it On” becomes a shout of sexual angst, while “Heard it Through the Grapevine” is infused with more intensity and bitterness than before. On the other hand, The Last COP COY TOW frequently becomes little more than a voyeuristic look at a man in the process of collapse.

Though there is no indication on the cover as to which part of the tour this recording is from, it’s safe to guess that it’s from the latter stages, when Marvin hit rock bottom. Early on, “Sexual Healing” the concerts’ finale, was performed in silk pajamas. During the latter stages of the tour, Marvin began to doff the pajamas and strip down to his bikini briefs. Perhaps looking to bolster his flagging self-image with one last cheer from the crowd, or unsure that his artistry was sufficient anymore, Marvirt’s build-up went thus: “Should I do this?

In a final stroke of irony, Marvin introduces “Joy” by talking about his memories of his father’s holy r01k church - “I used to love to hear him preach +. . I used to love to hear him shout!” In general, the compilation of Thu fast Concert Tour is pretty shoddy “Distant Lover” is misidentified as “Let’s Get Close,““Mercy, Mercy Me” is listed on the cover and not included, and no specifics are given as to the band and dates of recording.

NINA: Raw Melody by Trevor Blair Imprint staff
The area’s club event of the year is shaping up to be New Model Army’s gig in Guelph’s Trashateria on Monday, September 23. The Opera House show in TO the night before has the TTC strike working against it, so IocaI punters might want to make the Trashateria even cozier with their presence.
Eleven brig yews and no nearer home. . . (“Eleven Years” from Imputiw) It’s been 12 long years now and it seems that the Army’s survived their various
album, and her new book. The task at hand, however, is their new live W Raw Meh$Mh7 and the “Lust For Power Tour” - a slogan, by the way, which wasn’t the band’s idea and ironically contravenes the message in their song of the same name. Justin: “There’s a few reasons why a live album now; firstly it’s me bowing to pressure, we always have people coming up to us saying ‘for god’s sakes, put out a live album’ . . . there’s lots of bootlegs in Britain. One’s just come out that’s all demos - songs we never planned to release, but yeah, there’s millions. All cult bands have them. Secondly, Im~lutiq was written at a strange time . . . when we didn’t have a band. Moose (the bassist) had left and we weren’t touring. Nelson joined. and we recorded the album before we’d gotten the chance to play much of it live.. . and it sounded very much like that to me - it’s very much a studio album. There’s certain things that when we went out and performed it live.. certain tracks came more to life.” Indeed, “Whirlwind,” “Innocence,” and “Lurhstaap” all from last fall’s lmputify leap from their redundant mire to frolic about on Raw. More incredibly, “Get Me‘Out,“perhaps the band’s most frantic song to date, turns into a complete frenzy live. Busy lads, they seem to come over to our shores only once every three years or so. Admittedly, it is a bit redundant touring a live album, so we talk of new material and songwriting in general: “We’re writing stuff now but not playing it because it’s not finished . . . I was gonna say writing songs is easy but it isn’t, it’s quite hard actually. We work very hard at it but we do love it. . . we’ve written 96 songs all together and I don’t think one of them is junk.. . but I’m biased!” I mention a bias of my own: a song that didn’t make it on Raw.: ‘men Nelson joined, he learned about 56 ofthesongs... and that wasn’t one of them.

In England, in a way . . . the media ‘blackout’ sorta helps us - keeps us underground whether we want to be or not.“ So, I wonder “who pays the bills?” Was there record company pressure to do a “greatest hits live”collection to generate cash? ‘The record company has never pressured

“Get me out of this trap” When we recorded the four shows we didn’t take into account. . . ‘Oh gosh, we’re making a live album, we’d better play all our catalog so well have a choice.’ Far from it, we just concentrated on the shows . . . forgot we were’ recording them, which is the best thing to do. So at the end there were sofigs which we would have liked to have included which we didn’t even play . . . we have this problem every night - Little fights about what to play.” In the United States, New Model Army was dropped by their record label after blunder. Of the general situation, drummer Rob sums up their relations with EM1 as ‘kinda like a vegetarian trying to cut meat.” Justin adds: “They really haven’t got a clue as to what we’re trying to do.” In arranging the interview I was told by an unnamed American promoter: “EMI will not know who you are talking about.” EMI-USA that is, they’ve still got friends in Canada.

traumas, censors, line-up changes etc. Vocalist Justin Sullivan downplays the turbulent history of the British band from a promoter’s office in Chicago: “Jo012 was our first manager actually, and in her early diaries she has ‘1981: New Model Army splitting up’ and then ‘October 1982: Band definitely finished now’ and ‘1983: d@nife& splitting up now!’ And here we are, years later.” Joolz, punk poetess and collaborator, was initially 6upposed to appear stateside with the band. Her artwork graces many of NMA’s record sleeves and she has collaborated with them in the past: her Lp HEX features mainmen Sullivan and drummer Rob Heaton providing the tunes for her tales. A new album is finished, once again with help from NMA, but Justin is quick to point out: “It’s a little bit less NMA than HEX. H. ‘was very much more NMA with joolz on top.” She is significant in the context of NMA in that she has survived, along with Sulivan and Heaton, since the very beginning. tiewise, her presence can be felt throughout the band’s five LPs. We spoke a bit further about Jo&, her’ new
Relations in the US of A have been strained before; back in the mid-‘80s, they were denied entrance visas on the basis that they had “no artistic merit,” despite critical acclaim heralding th&m as “the best band since The Clash.” Since America is gearing up to implement a ceiling on the number of touring acts (be they rock, ballet or theatre) allowed inside their precious borders - a sort of fortune two or three hundred - it’s quite possible NMA and many, many others will find it quite dif&zult to come over in the future. Justin worried of retaliatory, copycat policies in Europe, and then referred to the whole nonsense as “paranoia in the highest degree.” Jf denied US access in the future, the band .will fare just fine on European shores where their hard-core touring fan-base has a kind of legendary status of its own. Not surprising given NMA’s recurrent themes of family and fraternity. “The fcjllowing in the UK goes on rising in spite of the fact that we’re not played on the radio and the papers on the whole don’t like us very much yet - it gets bigger and bigger and bigger.

MacLeod has developed a fiendship with members of Canadian band Skydiggers that resulted in him serving as guitar technician at one of their recent Toronto gigs. He has also jammed with lead singer Andy Maize and guitarist Josh Finlayson. MacIeod may re-record his original “Green Shoes” because Maize has expressed interest in harmonizing with him on this track. It’s possible that MacLeod will be invited to tour with the Skydiggers or else Andrew Cash - as they hit the road within the next couple of months. This would be an excellent opportunity for him to unleash his O@i.ds on an unsuspecting nation. For now, you can hear him on CKWR FM (98.7 in Waterloo), or check him out around town on the following days:

...maybewe’re just sick Freddy kill them systematically, capitalizing on their only weakness. The problem here is that the dream sequences are too ordinary. Think of the possibilities. Dreams and dream psychology could prtiuce some of the most fascinating horror / science fiction scenarios in cinematic history. (This reviewer eagerly awaits a film version of the IX comic book Sandman which possesses the same potential.) Here, however, we can only laugh at the sadistic punchlines being uttered by Robert Englund as he slices and dices another victim, and then wait for the next death / joke. The only feature Talalay adds to the ’ formu’la is the presence of oddball celebrities in cameo roles. From the film Cry-Baby (where she worked as a producer), Talalay brought Johnny Depp for an inspired send-up of the anti-drug commercials. Also present are Tom Arnold and porker wife Roseanne with the campiest performances in the film, and dinosaur Alice Cooper appears as Freddy’s dad (not exactly a casting coup). It is ironic that the core audience for these movies are the same age as the victims of Mr. Krueger. Maybe we do not see Freddy as the bastard son of a hundred maniacs, but as a symbol of teen angst that is triumphed at the end of each film by the young protagonist. Then again, maybe we’re just sick.
