Campus Awareness Day for persons with disabilities

Life focus

groups

kick off

by D. Campbell Imprint staff Learning from one’s mistakes has been said by many to be one of the

best ways to learn. Perhaps this is because nothing is free and the more you pay, the more you get. Well, if the almost complete lack of success of last year’s referendum on the Student Life Centre is any indication, pain and humiliation was paid for a very good lesson. One year later, an entirely new approach is being tried. This time, Janine Sindrey, a student on a co-op term, was hired by the Student Lfe Committee to direct a study of why last year’s attempt failed so badly to reflect student wants, needs, and desires as well as to guide this year’s process to a fruitful conclusion (to make something positive come out of it). To this end, an independent company was hired to also provide a professional and outside view of the aforementioned referendum. This has been completed and has been a very helpful tool in setting-up the new agenda. One of the main conclusions brought forth was that the students felt that they were denied the oppottunity to make their views known.

combat this most undemmtic prozess, Sindry has created a series df up

to 20 groups that consist of between six and ten people based on a comcross-section of pletely random students, staff, advisory board members, club representatives, and others. bring these meetings, each group is asked to give input on issues such as: do we need a separate building or can current facilities be upgraded, moved, or better co-ordinated in an effort to improve accessibility; what are your specific needs in this area; how do you foresee future trends developing and how can we best meet these in a design now? A rough time-frame has been developed and is as follows. The cross-sectional group discussion meetings will go to October 11 and will be compiled in the following week to form a survey for general circ&&ion on the week of October 21. Altemhves

will then

and selected

by the Committee

Voting material

be compiled for from these.

But Sindry says that this process is “just be@nning” and that she hopes to “get an accurate idea of student interests” by “ptioritizing the needs” of th& future usersof such a facility. She also pointed out that past students agreed to and paid for the’ Campus Centre, knowing full well that they would never get to use it.

by Teresa Kennedy Imprint staff More than 300 students at the University of Waterloo rely on the office of Services for Persons with Disabilities to help them pursue a productive and enjoyable educational experience. The first annual Campus Awareness Day was held Wednesday, October 2 to increase awareness of the special needs of these students and of the services provided by the university, Displays set up at the Davis Centre, the Campus Centre, and Health and Safety promoted awareness through literature and videos.

Municipal election needs student invohement by Bruce Fletcher Waterloo Group

Public

Interest

Research w-2 lAKEs#loRf WAR0

A Municipal Election Awareness Campaign is being put together by WPIRG, the Federation of Students, and several student Imprint, societies. Articles, posters, and an allcandidates forum are being planned. If you would like to get involved in this effort, contact WPIRG Election Mechanics. In the “Just so you know” department, here is how the local electorate is to be represented in the November 12th municipal election: This will be the first City of Waterloo election under a ward system. Previously, there were eight counciIlors selected at large to represent the enee city. Three of these councillors sat on Council for the regional government as well. With the new system, there will be seven councillors elected in seven wards, and three more councillors will be elected in the old “at large” fashiQn as “regional and city councillors.” And of course, in all of this one mustn’t forget the Mayor. In Kitchener, the already established ward system is being maintained. Apart from the Mayor, the city is represented by ten aldermen in ten wards, who select among themselves eight representatives to the Region.

And October

now, here’s the pitch: by 11, GET ENUMERATED!

On November

12, VOTE!

Why Should

Students

Vote?

In the hustle and rush of student life - exams, assignments, referenda, more assignments should students care that there is going to be a municipal election next month? You can decide for yourself, of course, but here are some considerations which YOU might want to be aware of when

you make your choice: “Politicians hunt where the ducks are,“Ideally, everyone’s opinion matters. If you want to get elected, however, you are well advised to consider the likelihood of any given constituency actually coming out to vote. University students are quite an easy group for a candidate to select out, either to consider as an important interest group, or to ignore. Furthermore, student turnout is simple to estimate after an election by examining return rates from polling stations in different areas of the city. It easily follows, then, that candidates who wish to succeed in future elections will pay attention to current poll results, and represent student concerns to the extent that students are likely to be significant in latter ballots. While this is a somewhat blunt political analysis, it is a reasonable generalization. Even so, it is only significant if there are issues of interest to students which are decided by municipal government. Are these issues of interest to you? Issues, issues, issues. One of the most important areas of municipaI influence is that of housing. Through zoning regulations, cities can indirectly control the amount and quality of student housing available. We no longer have a tent city on campus, but we do still have some dilapidated student-shelving-units around, typically operated by absentee landlords. When housing issues come to I Council, which they invariably will, do you wish for your concerns to be taken into consideration?

Transportation is another constant student concern. Bus routes and bus pass rates, cycling and pedestrian ‘safety, computerized intersections which almost discount nonmotorized travellers (such as the one at the main entrance to the University), and other such issues are all within the domain of the municipality. Another note on pedestrian safety; do YOU feel unsafe walking in Waterloo Park at night? Perhaps elsewhere in the City? Other than safety on campus, city ha11 is your target for safety concerns. Perhaps you are even willing to vote for the sake of environmental issues. In this line, municipalities control zoning (how much farm and undeveloped land do we want to give to developers?), transportation (see above), and water supply and waste disposal (the recently expanded Erb St. landfill is over one of our drinking water aquifers, by the way). Votes for the environment are at least as signticant at the municipal level as they are at the provincial and federal levels. The final word on participation goes to Dr. Woolstencrofi, from an upcoming Kitchener Waterloo Magazine article: “Ironically, municipal government - the jurisdiction most amenable to citizen influence and direction attracts the least citizen attention. Despite candidates’ best efforts, only 25 per cent of electors will vote, unless a well-contested mayoralty race arouses the electorate. The lamer&ably low interest in municipal politics provides an opportunity to the inquisitive citizen for great influence.” Want to be a “great influence?” By October 11, that’s next Friday, get enumerated, and on November 12, get out and vote!

Close to 2,000 first-year students attended t)le performance which for the first time was both written and directed by UW students. The play looked at issues such as sexual attitudes, de sex, contraception, substance abuse, and sexual assault, but without lecturing and without being judgmental. From the sreaction of the audiences, this objective was reached with the crew receiving a standing ovation. A great deal of effort was put into this year’s performance, and this was rewarded with record attendance. Director DarIene Spencer and stage manager Leslie Storm, along with the actors, Karen Morton, Mark McCrinder, Irene Binstock, Alanna McLean, and Tim Rogers did an excellent job of depicting first-year life at UW. The Federation of Students would like to thank Denise Angove, Assistant Supervisor at Health and Safety, whu

New enviro mental lecture series

ENVIROTALKS by D. CampbeII imprint staff

Often when an issue first comes out into the open, it seems very simple, very cut and dry. Usually this is not the case. Few thjngs are ever as simple as first thought and this whole issue about the damage that has been and is continuing to be done to the environment is no exception. Although most people are concerned with the implications of a deteriorating environment, few people have any real idea of the actual destruction. Those who do are generally scientists working in very different fields, such as chemistry, physics, environmental studies, and earth sciences. One problem exists in getting these people together to share and correlate information in order not only to detect patterns but to also turn this raw data into specific information. This can then be shown to people in a clear, concise manner to get them to act. Politicians and companies can stall solution implementation only for so long as the issue and results remain unclear.

E4Now Now!

Once the parameters of an issue have been identified, positive action can then be taken. It is for these purposes of education and consultation that the Envirornental Advisory Network of Waterloo, EANoW, exists. A non-profit organization working out of the University of Waterloo, EANoW holds discussions that are open to the general public with no charge for admission. These series of lectures, called “Envirotalks,” are being held at the Victoria Park Pavillion in Kitchener with the intention of broadening the understanding of the general public. At this they can hardly fail. 1 attended the first of the three-part lecture series last Tuesday, Oct. 1 and listened to Dr. Mieke Delfgaaun, a professor in UW’s environmental studies department, take “a look at the economic and social consequences of environmental policies.” The next lecture, on Wednesday, November 6, also at the Victoria Park Pavillion in Kitchener, features UW’s Dr. Roydon Fraser on “energy use and humanity.” The series will conclude on Wednesday, December 4 with Professor Mary Ellen Tfier, also of UW, who will address the topic of environmental rehabilitation. According to Delfgaaun, people must “stop trying to simplify things” because

that “won’t

work

in a com-

13lex, dynamic system” like Canada. Anyone interested in getting more information on this topic can do so by speaking to the guest lecturers (they’re really nice people) or by calling 8884808.

Local farmers and animal welfare activists entered into a lively and productive dialogue after watching author Jim Mason give a presentation on “Current Farming Trends: Where Does Our Meat Come From?” in the Humanitie? Theatre Monday evening. Jim Mason, author of Aimul Fixrori>.~, presented a slide show to illustrate his belief that intensive “factory” farming is harmful to animals, harmful to consumers, harmful to the environment, and harmful to farmers and farm communities. Distressing photographs were shown of huge concentration camplike steel buildings containing masses of cattle, pigs, hens, or chicks confined so tightly in cages that they can’t move around or open their wings. “Crowding leads to higher profit,” he explained, “even if more individual animal lives are lost. It’s an optimization problem. How to get the most pounds of meat per square foot of building? How many hens per cage yields the maximum egg production? The animal is a commodity only.” Harm to, consumers occurs, he stated, when, in order to combat the infectious diseases that could quickly run rampant in such crowded conditions, antibiotics are continually given to the animals in low doses in their feed. “There is a fear that drug-resistant strains of germs will develop. Factory conditions are ideal to encourage this. If a human caught such a disease and went to the hospital, no drug available would cure him.” Salmonella outbreaks, he claimed, have been traced to poultry factories. Both antibiotics and hormones’ are frequently incorrectly used because FDA. inspection procedures are inadequate, Mason said. If conditions are not yet so bad in Canada they soon will be, as a result of free trade, he warned. The long-term health effects of these drugs on the eater of the animal are not known. The huge build-up of manure at animal factories leads to a big environment4 problem. In addition, huge tracts of land are required to supply corn, soybeans, and oats to feed such concentrations of animals, causing a very inefficient use of land. Lf the US government did not subsidize the cost of whter for beef farrning, he claimed, meat would be enormously more expensive. The price we pay for meat does not reflect anywhere near its true cost, he said. Farm communities have suffered greatly as the smaIl family-&&l

are kept in gestation crates. Farmers are definitely feeling the heat from the animal welfare movement.” Two men who design equipment and buildings for hogs then spoke up. “I share your concern. But to say that we should put swine in groups instead of in cages is simplistic,” one said. There is a move toward more humane equipment, said the other, especially among farmers who are immigrants from Europe. Humane equipment costs money but it also pays, he said. Mason’s conclusion was that alternative farming will have to secure for itself a niche in the market. We have to get to the point where we label things so that the consumer can choose cruelty-free and organic products, even if they do cost more. A son of a fisherman from Nova Scotia received a round of applause from everyone in the room when he said with passion, “We used to have mixed farms. All this has disappeared. Why can’t we find a viable alternative that would allow family operations to be successful? The big guys are manipulating the market. “We are being cruel to animals in that we don’t care. Apathy is the worst enemy. Science isn’t going to help us. only old-fashioned common sense will help.”

EEF SPARERIBS

operators are forced out of business. The United States lost 40 per cent of its hog farmers in 5 years and 75 per cent of its egg producers in the space of 10 years, Mason said. When family farmers are pushed out, the whole life of the community dries up. The toll on the individual farmer is intense stress, as high overhead costs lead to high debt, which Ieads to more piessure to mass produce. There can be no normal relationship between man and animal under these conditions, as the desperate attempt to survive in business becomes the only consideration. Mason advocates returning to a style of farming he calIs LISk Low Input Susta.inable Agriculture. He can said Ordinary consumers encourage this by changing their eating habits. ‘If you don’t like the V word (vegetarianism), then just consider that we now eat two to three times the animal protein we need. Cut down.” If we still want to buy meat and eggs, he said, we should search for sources where the animal is allowed to range outdoors. “Do we want doctors to get rich by doing quadruple. by-pass operations forever? I It was when someone in the audience asked, “How can we verify the facts you’ve given? Most of us can’t visit a factory farm,” that farmers in the audience started to voice their opinions. Two local farmers agreed to take interested people to see their operations, and names and phone numbers were exchanged after the meeting. A veal farmer said, “I don’t know of any farmer today who isn’t aware of the concern (about confinement of animals). But we need scientific study to see what is better. The little guy can’t do research. Let the scientists tell us. The farmer is the most progressive industrial person today. We’ve come a long way in producing food for a helluva lot less money.” Mason mentioned that we’ve had trouble getting any kind of a dialogue

going. ‘rSecause a lot of people in farming perceive that you want everyone to become vegetarian,” a worker on a veal farm retorted. “You aren’t upfront about your motives,” The veal farmer added, “If people can come and see for themselves it will facilitate dialogue. Some animal rights people wouldn’t care if you changed the cages (to make them more humane), but others are willing to talk with you. This is a two-way street” he said. “I am a veterinarian who works with large an&n&,” another said. ‘The slides you showed apply perfectly well to conditions here in Ontario.

against

“It’s symbolic of his struggle real My.“ - Monty Python’s Life of Brian

against

The amazing thing about controversy is that is so of-ten misdirected. Small issues are blown up into earth-shaking moral debates and i&es that actually affect people’s lives are ignored. Caqe in point: whether or not Gwen Jacobs “did the right thing” by exposing her chest to the public eye and the vastly larger question of whether or not women are oppressed by being required to wear shirts on hot days. Those who rally behind Jacobs state, quite rightly, that what she did was a “symbol” of empowerment from oppression and is therefore an action to be supported. I say quite rightly because the proposition that it is a symbol is a fairly obvious one. I posit, however, that it is little more than a symbol - that in a real, practical way, a woman’s life is not demonstrably harmed by having to keep her breastscovered. In this respect, it is a “non-issue,” a controversy created

as a media opportunity

. Affirmative action explained and defended

by a well-meaning

person frustrated by a perceived injustice. Frankly, there are issues which are of much more importance to the lives of women than this; an example of one ran in our August 30 Drientation issue, the same issue which saw the initial “I agree with Gwen” letter, this one penned by Women’s Issues Board chair Kim Creed. In that same issue, we ran a pair of comment pieces written by staff met-n bers taking opposite sides on the topic of the rape shield law being struck down, In the days that followed, I was surprised to find that we had received three letters responding to Creed’s letter and none concerning the rape shield law issue. My surprise turned gradually to disgust as September ticked by with a steady drone of people discussing various aspects of the Jacobs issue, while not a single letter arrived expressing any reference to the rape shield law. Unlike the non-issue that is “that breast thing,” the rape shield iaw - or lack of it - is a “real” issue, for two reasons. First, it cuts to the very core of our legal system, which some would claim is inherently patriarchal. There is an entire range of social debate that can take place with respect to the ruling that struck down this legislation. What rights ought an accused to have and how should those be balanced against the rights of the victim of a crime? Should exceptions to these rights be prescribed in the case of.certain crimes, such as rape? What does a woman’s sexual history ‘have to do with her credibility as a witness in a particular case? Second, the rape shield law actually affects real people’s lives! The existence of a rape shield law may mean that evidence 6cessary for the def&ce of an accused cannot be brought forward, regardless of its Pelevance. The striking down of that same law maymean that a woman who has been raped NilI be placed on trial, her testimony given less credence because she had p&t sexual relations with the defendant. Whatever option we consider to be the more dangerous to the principles of basic justice, the debate about these options has not takev place in Imprint’s forum pages, your student forum. Thankfully, debate on the topic of affirmative action and other socially relevant issues is taking place in these pages, but occasionally, more visible “(pun intended) non-issues will z&cure the tiings that really matter. .

What does affirmative action mean to you? Even if you don’t know what exactly it is, you are likely have an immediate negative r&action. Sandy Atwal’s feature on the topic in last week’s Imprint (Sept. 27) could have done nothing but to reinforce such views. If unfamiliar with the subject, readers could easily form opinions on affirmative action without having all the. facts. . Firstly, a few misconceptions should be cleared up. One, there are no such thing as affirmative action laws. AffinnatiGe action (hereafter referred to as AA) pugrums, however, do exist. Such programs are a means to comply with I3ill C-62, “an act respecting employment equity” which came into force in 1486. Secondly, the federal and (to the best of my knowledge) provincial governments have not legislated any quotas governing the hiring practices of businesses. The only time that corporations can be told by the government to hire a specific number of the four designated groups (women, aboriginals, disabled, and visible minorities) is after a ruling by the Human Rights Board that the business still has not overcome the institutional and systemic barriers that pvent~ these groups

/km

having equal UCC~SSin the#nt

place. The

only time that a corporation will even be investigated is if ari official complaint is registered, such as was the case with Canadian National Railways. Another statement made near the end of the feature was that ‘There are even more questions of whether or not women, for ex&mpIe, are indeed under-represented in Canadian universities.” In a special “Status of Women” supplement (April 1991) to the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) newspaper, numerous &tistics are given to demonstrate the opposite: that Canadian universities are not representing women adequately in their faculties.

Editmial Board

The total percent of women enrolled in doctoral programs in Canada in i989-1990, averaged over all fields, is 35.5 per cent with a high of 57.5 per cent in education and a low of 9.8 per cent in engineering and applied sciences. At the University of Waterloo, the statistic is that we have women hoiding 11.1 per cent of tenured or tenure-stream positions. UW’s rating is the second lowest of any postsecondaxy institution in the province, with King’s College taking the dubious honour of achieving the lowest. This means that out of a total complement of about 800 faculty, only about 80 are women. In the engineering department, the ratio of men to women is 80 to 1. Considering that the ratio of women enrolled in doctoral programs in various engineering fields ranges from four per cent (electrical) to forty per cent (management science), I should think the average could be somewhat improved. How could we go about making the workplace more representative of the population? Well, we could start by eliminating institutionalized barriers that have historicaIly discriminated against various nonwhite and non-male groups. Regardless of your views of affirmative action, that is its purpose. The most common argument against AA is that it itself discriminates while attempting to cmrect discrimination But discrimination is quite widespread in our society. At certain tities in h&tory, we decide that individuaIs must give up some of their “unalienable” rights for the greater good of society. Precedents include the draftin of o le to fight wars, getting your car sear&ec/?t ge border, the Fm crisis, etc Regardless of whether you agree with the motives or the action taken, the fact of the matter is that such instances occur on a regular basis. @continued

To me editor, I should like to apologise to P. Kirkland (and others who had formed the same impression) for the presumable lack of clarity which led to a misunderstanding of my point in my letter to the editor of Sept. 13. I can only assert that the banshee cries of pop-moralists (a category in which I feIt Creed’s letter of Aug. 30 beionged) make it extremely difficult to be critical without also seeming to fall into the “enemy camp.” When I said that “a man would get arrested for not wearing anything below the waist, and how is that different from MS Jacobs’ crime?“,

I was attempting

to point out the rather arbit-

rary nature of this society’s conceptions about decency. The issue is not whether a man’s penis and a woman’s breasts can be compared biologically, or whether they are both involved in the reproductive process (of

course, they are not both directly involved), and I never meant to intimate that it was. In this, despite appearances, Kirkland and I seem to agree whole-heartedly; I merely went about making my point by a,different direction. The issue on which I was taking Creed to task was not the issue of the unfairness of the decency laws (their fairness or unfairness is another topic of conversation), but rather Creed’s blanket equation of Ms. Jacob’s situation and the exploitation of women by society (“is a woman’s body not her own?“). I felt, and still feel, that, the rightness of Ms. Jacob’s cause and actions aside, the link between the decency issue and the exploitation of women is not as cut and dried as Creed wished to assert. Kirkland asserts that the exploitation of women is “more common.” I would assert that this statement is terribly selective. While it may be true that in one situation the exploitation of women is more noticeable (their sexual objectification in displayed pornography/erotica), the exploitation of men in the same material is every bit as prevalent, if more subtle (the male as insensitive objectifier, as aggressive oppressor). The set of people who are exploited in pornography is not necessarily limited to those who are cast in the objectified and passive role, and to assert that this is so is, in my opinion, rather single-minded. While the depiction of women in traditional straight erotica may “teach” the observer one thing about women, it aIso teaches them something (equally dangerous, and one would hope fallacious) about men. Exploitation is also a bigger issue than its visible aspect of pornography - there are many other ways in which human beings can be exploited, and ways in which men have been traditionally exploited that women have not (the forced suppression of some emotional development, and forced engagement in dominance hierarchies). Exploitation in our culture seems to revolve quite often around the concept of enforcing stereotypical or “normative” behaviour on a certain class or set of individuals. Seen in this light, it is a much larger and more complex phenomenon than either Creed or Kirkland seem to suggest. IL Haag. PQst hgree,

I accept “man” as a generic term for all humans of both sexes, all the ages and all races. I consider interrelationship in the terminology to be a l

tions of sexism in today’s society were in the heads of a few old men and the hearts of dozens of feminists. Three things caused me to reconsider the situation. Two weeks ago, my cousin announced to a primarily male family that he.was to host the upcoming Miss Canada pageant. What followed was the typical male response, easily passed off as ego and hormones. Fine. I attempted to explain to these guys, all relatively intelligent, why I believe pageants to have a negative influence on the role of women in society as perceived by men. It validates the judging of a woman’s value based on physical attributes, reducing them to the status of Barbie delis that are nice to look at and play with, but really don’t count in terms of emotion or intellect. As to the effect it has on the self-esteem of women who are less than beautiful - just ask an anorexic or some-

one undergoing

plastic surgery how wonder-

ful it makes them feel to see women glorified mainly for their physical appearance. I don’t

think it really clicked. The second incident occurred in my lab. I am starting a Master’s program in biology, and I share an office with two males, while the associated lab space is often used by a multitude of associates, mostly men When I first entered the lab, I noticed a great number of pictures of near-naked women and comics portraying naked women in so-called humorous situations. I thought, oh well, boys will be boys, and let it pass with, “Well, if you can’t get the real thing +. .” Several days ago I was at my desk, and some of the guys were gathered around the computer, laughing. Thinking it was a new computer game, I glanced over - to see a high-quality graphics porno picture. I said nothing. I knew that if I said anything, retaliation would come in the form of jeering heckling and the posting of even worse pictures. Do these men know the barrier that they have erected between myself and them? I don’t feel that I can ever respect them or become friends with them. But do they care? Probably not. I am only a dim figure, skating about the edge of their world, not and never a member of this boys’ club. I am as valid a scholar as any of these males, my work as important, my contribution to science as great. Yet they feel totally justified in posting, showing and viewing pictures that degrade my sex, even when I am present. I have never felt the touch of male chauvinism as I did that day, walking past a group of laughing males and trying not to say anything. They see nothing wrong in it. This I cannot comprehend. When they consider women, do these men consider all of their attributes, or merely their exterior, and how that exterior can serve their wants and needs? They must be blind. The third incident took place last night. My friend and I were watching a documentary about the Snowbirds. Initially I felt that they were a waste of taxpayers’ money, but as the show continued, I began to see them differently. They represent Canada in many places and many ways, as our ambassadors, sharing part of Canada’s glory with its citizens. I began to feel pride in the Snowbirds - the same pride I feel for -mapIe syrup, the Canadian Shield, the Mounties, and the maple leaf. The closing segment gave me pause. In it was depicted a young boy watching the Snowbirds fly overhead, with a voice-over about the future Snowbirds - “young boys who are struck with the dream to fly with the best.” I almost jumped up arid shouted “What about young girls? Why can’t they dream of flying with the Snowbirds? Dream of being part of Canada’s glory, one of its heroes, one of the best?“@er an hour of building up the Snowbirds as role models for Canadian youth, this institution of Canada exdudes the starry eyes and hidden dreams of Iittle girls across this true North, strong and free.

Information Technology and Ecological Peril by Brent Wood Canadian Student

Pugvvash

Chatter about the looming “‘information age” is everywhere these days, just as talk of the “nuclear age” was everywhere in the 1960s and ’70s. The “nuclear age” was to be an era marked by unlimited energy supplies to power the advancement of humankind. It was also to be marked by an unprecedented threat to our very existence by an ever-escalating build-up of nuclear arms - the arms Einstein viewed as essentially “new” kinds of weapons. The nuclear power unleashed from God’s furnace by man’s Promethean wiles, however, has proven to be of questionable value and duration - aside from the waste products of commercial nuclear fission, which promise to stick around for a few thousand years. Nuclear weapons, it seems are essentially impotent their image is unarguably terrible, but they are too powerful to deploy without ruining the game in which they were designed to play. And the commercial nuclear industry has proven, in economic terms, to be the greatest white elephant of all time, eating up tax dollars as fast as it produces electricity to ‘generate them. To question the potential of the “information age” is therefore simply to exercise a little common sense in the midst of major commercial hype over the proliferation of yet another extension of humanity - the high speed, high-definition transfer of information made possible by digital technology of the 1980~ and 90s.

manufacture of more arms, so today we look to information technology to replace resource exploitation as the principal driver of our economy, to help our scientists “discover solutions” to our environmental crises, and to act as a medium through which we can educate our unwashed, not-yet-recycling masses as to the state of the rainforest in Brazil. This is a remarkable

situation.

That we look

Our society’s behaviour in this instance brings to mind nothing so much asthe behaviour of a drug addict. The addict is not whole. S/he has trouble dealing with the emotion, with social pressure, with trying to fit into our often restrictive social systems, so s/he exercises what little control is available, and ingests a drug. The drug acts as a mediator, expanding to fill the space between the addict and what s/he cannot deal with. When the hangover hits, however, the situation seems worse than before. The answer? Take more drugs. The ecological crisis is a crisis on a planetary scale. Most of us would have trouble conceiving of all the interactions that make up our own universities, let alone our cities, our countries or our world. So when we sit in our living rooms watching five-second cable television images of clean-up crews “fighting” an oil fire in the Persian Gulf, we are using the technology of television to bring the incomprehensible ecological crisis our earth is undergoing down to our own level, when our top atmospheric scientists recommend that

age” really began when Samuel Morse and his friends developed the first practical application of electricity in 1844 - the telegraph. To our info-saturated 1990s ears, Morse’s infamous first words through an experimental cable from Baltimore to Washington - “what hath God wrought?” now sound deliciously ironic. Since Morse’s time - just 150 years ago we have progressed through telegraphs to telephones, fax machines, cable television, and most recently to high-spend electronic data transmission, all through digitally organized descendants of the telegraph En&s. In the meantime, the American industrial and economic system that helped push ahead this “info-tech” has expanded its influence to . global proportions. In 1991, Coca-Cola has become easier to find than water in Mali, McDonald’s is among the most popular restaurants in Moscow, and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (on the Alaskan side of the Yukon border) is about to be opened up for oil and gas drilling. The terrible image of the “nuclear age” has been put on the back burner by the terrible image of the “ecological peril” to which industrialized society’s ill-conceived path of expansionism has led us. And just as 20 years ago the answer to our problem of nuclear arms build-up was the

How about instituting a “coat-check” type of system for bicycles at our bus and train You could check-in your bike at a counter in exchange for a voucher. You get the bike back by returning the voucher. Simple. Of course, it’s going to require some inside space. Storing bicycles needn’t take up as much room though. Install hooks in the ceiling of a room, and you can hang bikes vertically. stations?

P&haps there’s even room xiow for ten bikes or so in the Parcel Express room at the Kitchener bus station. They could charge a few dollars for the service to make up for the inconvenience suffered by employees during this experiment.

So you’ve opted for the 15-minute bikeride to the bus station. One last hurdle: where the hell are you going to leave your bike? You s&e a couple of flimsy no-parking signs that might do, but you decide you may as well use the bike rack - that’s what it’s there for, right? Unfortunately, the bike rack at the Kitchener bus station, aesthetically pleasing as it might be, is a bit of a sad case when it comes to providing something secure to attach your bike to: a big slab of concrete with slots for wheels, and small steel rings to put locks through. Your kryptonite lock can’t reach both the bike frame and the ring, so you either lock a wheel really securely to the ring OR lock the wheel really securely to the frame, and then lock the remaining parts together with a less secure cable lock. Regardless of how you do it, this is not a place you want to leave your bike after dark.

Manning described in his introduction as a “visionary and an architect of a new Canada” wants significant changes in Canada’s constitutional arrangements, fiscal situation and parliamentary system. The Federal Government’s recently announced proposals for constitutional change were attacked by Manning, on the grounds that they are based on an old model of Canada. “This model of Canada, which presents Canada as an equal partnership between French and English, has been expanded so that constitutional unity can only be achieved by granting Quebec special status,” Manning said. “Our constitution has created a house divided on lines of race, language and culture.”

Manning’s vision of a new Canada is, “a balanced, democratic federation of provinces,” guaranteed by a TripleE Senate and greater public participation in politics. “This federation would be distinguished by equality of all Canadians regardless of their race or culture, rather than because of their race or culture,” he said. The most popular of Manning’s suggestions was that social programs, such as the Family Benefits Allowance, should be targeted to those who need them most. Other suggestions for reducing government expenditures included trimming salaries of politicians and bureaucrats as well as “delayer-ix& management in the public service. Joking that children should not be allowed to watch Question Period on television, Manning called for changes to the Parliamentary system. One desired change would allow Members of Parliament to vote in the

interests of their constituents rather than towing the party line, as is presently the case. In addition, Manning spoke of a National Referendum BilI which would enable Canadians to vote on most legislation, especially legislation dealing with major moral issues such as abortion and capital punishment. The Western-based Reform Party was founded in Winnipeg in 1987. It has carved out a niche for itself as a party of integrity and honesty. At a time when the electorate is disheartened by politicians and the political system, the Party holds considerable appeal for voters. ‘Mmning is the only alternative to the other three federal leaders. . . the others are all a crock,” said David Haight, a new member of the Reform Party. “The appeal of the Reform Party is in its fiscal responsibility and its belief that we should be Canadians first, not

Italian-Canadians, or Polish-Canadians. MuIticulturalism is just money wasted on Greek dancers!“, claimed a new member who used to be a card-canying Progressive Conservative. The crowd of approximately 1,000 supporters, mostly middle-aged or older, gave Manning a standing ovation. Protesters, who have attended Reform Party meetings in the past, were visibly absent, thus allowing Manning to exit without answering any questions, and without having to provide details on the more controversial positions of his party.

The Party has come under attack for its positions on multiculturalisrr and bilingualism. The Party would end funding of federal multicultural programs because it believes that the concept of hyphenated Canadians alienates individuals and groups from other Canadians. The Party opposes official bilingualism outside of Parliament and the Supreme court. The Party has one MP, Deborah Grey, who was elected in 1989. In the spring of 1991, the Party membership voted to extend the Party’s activities across the country.

30percent Can-con must stay_

Left-wing by Frank

Seglenieks

rmprintstaff

I am writing this piece as a response to I? Spacek’s article on Canada’s culture policy (Imprint, Sept. 27), in particular the 30 per cent Canadian_content rule which all radio broadcasters must adhere to’in order to keep their licence with the CRTC. I strongly believe that this rule is very important to the music industry in Canada as well as Canada as a whole, as it has helped to strengthen Canadian culture. :

The first thing I would like to point out is that nobody is denying that Bryan Adams is a proud Canadian; indeed, he spends more time in Vancouver than a lot of so-called Canadians who ,live in LA and only come back to Canada for vacations. On this point he should be commended, but according to CRTC regulations his latest recording is not considered Canadian content. One must remember that there is more to a song than just the person who performs it - ask Milli Vanilli. There is the production as well as the titers of the music and the lyrics. According to CRTC regulations, when any two of these is done by a Canadian, the selection is considered Canadian Content. Thus, each song must be individually decided upon, and indeed many albums have different classifications between different tracks.

i I i i

A tribute to Neil Young last year was considered Canadbn content because he wrote all the words and music although bands from other countries performed the songs, and the album was produced outside of Canada. Now we could argue for days about how a record is to be judged Canadian, but the bottom line is that some formula such as the one above must eventually be used. Admittedly, some instances will occur where a particular song or album will seem to be singled out, but that would happen in any system. Now, these regulations have been around for 20 years, so it should be no surprise to Adams that his record was not Canadian content. Either he has never been told the rules, he forgot about the rules, or worse he thought his status would put him above the rules. I will stop there as I don’t want this to be a personal attack on Adams, whom I believe can write marketable songs and should be given every opportunity to sell his music, but in the case of his latest album, not as Canadian content. A lot of last week’s article had to do with the Nazi government of Canada shooting people in the streets, or at

fascists must go. least that’s the impression one would get reading the article. To see how exaggerated this is, let’s look at one paragraph in particular which dealt with broadcast policy, and apply it to traffic laws. I decide to buy my own car with my own money because I want to get around. Now, no one will dispute that the car is mine and that I have the right to decide how to fast to drive. Fine. The only problem is that when I go to get my licence, the Ministry of Transportation tells me that I have to drive less than the speed limit or risk having my right to drive revoked. Wonderful. They are telling me how fast to drive, while stillgiving me enough leeway to claim that they’re not trampling upon my rights, you can see from that example that if you extend this individual rights thing to far, everything we do can be justified - people can do what they want, rob bing banks, murdering and so on. Some might say here that the highways are different because they belong to the public. Well the same is true of radio frequencies. When you go into the radio business, you may own the transmitter and the records and pay the on-air personalities, but the frequencies you broadcast on are public domain and you are only borrowing them from the public under agreement with the CRTC. In any society, a line must always be drawn between individual rights and the good of the society as a whole. As far as the Canadian content rule, I think the line has been drawn in the right place. I would actually rather have 50 per cent Canadian content, but just having it at all is enough for me. tit’s look at Norway as another example - who do they hear on the radio? Madonna, New Kids, and the Rolling Stones. They have no law restricting what can be played on the air. What chance do up and coming young artists have of getting airplay? Not much. Consequently, not many record companies will sign new talent when they know that the chances of getting a song on the radio is slim. But you might say that we in Canada would not do the same; we would support our homegrown talent. Look at the Canadian movie industry. In Canada, you can buy and show any movie at your own movie theatre. Any reason to favour Canadianmade movies? Nope. The result is that in one year, 98 per cent of the money which was paid by theatres for movies in Canada went tecompanies outside of Canada. Talk about cross-border shopping? But without a doubt, this is how the Canadian music industry would be if the 30 per

cent Can-con rule was not there. It is not that Canadian movies are of lesser quality some excellent movies have come out of Canada:

Roadkill,

Graduating Students *

if Sirmgm,

Je.sus of Mor~twal, and @e Bye Blues, to mention a few recent ones. Who knows what the effect of making movie theatres play Canadian-made films even once a year for two weeks would have? In a recent book entitled Cornmunicariuns PO&J in Canada by Iarimer and McNulty, the authors state that “it is generally agreed that the Canadian record production industry has benefited enormously from the (30 per cent Can con) quota.” Well, that certainly seems like a law which is bad for Canada and should be struck down immediately. For a country of Canada’s population we have a plethora of record companies and artists and a means by which new talent can get exposure in Canada. Also, in last week’s article, the author assumed that if Canadian bands are as good as any other then eventually they wiIl get the same amount of airplay and thus the public will decide who will survive. Well, that’s a nice dream, but as Ice T says, “I live in the real world and for me shit ain’t like that, i& real fucked up.” That is the actual situation - you don’t need talent to get a song to the top-lo; you need money, money, money and that’s all. There are numerous examples of talentless buffoons catapulting to the top of the record business because of slick marketing and heavy exposure created using capital. This is the underlying reason why I believe that the 30 per cent Canadian content law is needed: not to slant the field toward for Canadian artists, but to make sure that field is straight so everybody has the same chance to make it. The article seems to say that there are only ho types of performers: the successful ones - like the Tragically Hip, Bryan Adams, Rush - and bands of “questionable talent.” How about the thousands of bands in between who have the talent but not the money to support a 50-stop North American tour. These are the bands like the Bourbon Tabernacle Choir, Barenaked Ladies, or Crash Test Dummies who really need the 30 per cent Can-con. quota to help get exposure on the Canadian airwaves.

Minas began the evening’s talk with an hour long paper that outlined some fundamental concepts critical to liberal feminism, especially the notion that “liberation for women requires that we have opportunities for education and professional advancement which are equal to those of men.” Capping a variety of models she had developed to iilustate her points, Minas arrived at a “new a Disney World game contraption,” called “Meritocracy.” The game consists of a series of pools, each one somewhat higher thhn the one before it. Water flows downward from the topmost pool creating a series of small waterfalls pool-lo-pool. In the bottom-most pool are a number of mechanical fish, each one either pink or blue. The player’s object is to select a fish (either colour) and propel it electronically boy levers and buttons from the lower pool to the higher pools. Each player has only a limited time to play the game - “when your time is up, the game is over for your fish.”

Answer: I am assuming that you nrt, not telat~d to tht* Inndlr~cl in any way and therefore you are the landlords c~f your roommate under the Landlord and Tenant Act. You can only terminate his tenancy if you have grounds under the Landlord and Tenant Act. Since he has paid -his rent, you will have to ascertain if there is anv other grL>unds to terminate his tenancy. From your qurstion’it would seen1 that his conduct would not amount to substantial interference of your enjoyment’ of the premises. The fact that , you are complaining about your lx k of privacy does not amount to substantial interference since this was an issue that you should have thought about prior to renting to this other roommate. Another ground of termination that might arise is giving notice of termination for your own use. This notice would state that you would require the premises for your own use, ie. you require both bedrooms. This notice can only be served sixty days prior to the end of your roommate’s written agreement. Of course, this does not solve your problem for him leaving the premises immediately. You could try to tempt him to sign an Agreement to Terminate, in which both parties sign an agreement to end their tenancy arrangements prior to the end of your roommate’s four-month tenancy. You may have to convince your tenant by offering him some financial incentive to leave the premises early.

Another option would be to consider one of the local mediationservices. There may be an opportunity for you to save your tenancy through thirdassistance. Mediation may solve some of the incompatibility problems between your roommate and both of you. Your question raises a potential problem that must be considered by all tenants who want to share their rented premises with third parties. If it does not work out between yourselves, you cannot just change the locks and force your roommate to leave the premises. If your tenant wishes tg stay in the premises, yO;u would have to serve the proper Notices of Termination and go to Ontario Court General Division to terminate the roommate’s tenancy.

When one of thuse fish advances to the next pool, another can jump up into its old place, provided it has the highest marking in its pool In case anyone has missed some of the imagery, blue fish are men and pink fish are women. The ranked pools represent the ladder of success in our society; the markings are the oppmtunities we each have to move ahead, or the skills and talents or other properties that determine our merit, relative to society’s goals or standards.

Answer: The first thing that you should do is check to see if the request for retroactive rent covers the period during which you resided in the rented premises. Due to the backlog at Rent Review Services, Rent Review Orders are determined inany months after they have been filed by your landlord. Often tenants gave Notices to Terminate after they have been seived with Notices of Rent Increases under the old rent review legislation that requested large rent increases. Although you certainly left before the Order was decided upon by Rent Review Services, there may be a time period of months prior to your vacating the premises that is covered by the Rent Review Order. The landlord still has a right to request the increased rents given to him for this time period and this Order be paid by tenants who are not living in the rented premises. If the Claim covers the period in which you were still living in the premises, you should check the Rent Review Order carefully since recent Rent Review Orders have allowed tenants to pay retroactive rent increases in installments over a 12-month period. This is to avoid undue financial hardships on tenants who are awaiting rent increases. Even though you do not live in the premises, you have the same right as tenants who live in the premises in paying retroactive rents by installments. If there is no issue as to the amount of rent owing as alleged in the Claim, you should request from Small Claims Court the right to pay in twelve equal installments or over a period of time that you can afford. This can be done by filing a Dispute within 20 days after being served with a Claim. If you discover that the landlord is attempting to claim all or a portion of a rental amount that covers a period that you were not living in the premises, you should file a Dispute and indicate this so that the court will determine that the landlord has no right to collect this amount. Hopefully you have kept some evidence of rental payments during the time period that you lived in the premises, since it may be required if you feel that the landlord has incorrect information stated in the Claim pertain‘a to rental payments made. Rent receipts or copies of cheques can be introduced in Small Claims Court to prove what rents you have paid. It is important to know what rentaI payments you have made since if the lan-

“My body belongs to the Methodist Church but my soul belongs to the primordial tradition.” This is how Prof. Huston Smith, renowned scholar of world religions now serving as a visiting professor at the University of California at Berkeley, characterized his own religious commitment during his recent four-day visit to the University of Waterloo. “By primordial tradition, I ,mean that there is a golden strand of truth which finds expression in various and complementing religious traditions, including the primal {aboriginal) traditions,” he said. “The truth is reflected in all the traditions I have seriously worked with. I do not like to think that God would play favourites with the peoples of the world.” Huston Smith is a man who speaks from personal experience. Born to Methodist missionaries in China he developed a deep respect for Chinese Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. At 17, he came to study in the United States, and was dismayed by the lack of interest in mysticism in the Christian literature. (A lack which has since been corrected, hg assures us.) Becoming a young l&turer of World Religions in the late 194Us, he sought the help of the Hindu Vedanta Society in St Louis, and there he found the mystical and universalist dimension he was looking for. But this was only the beginning his adventure.

After thoroughly 1,eaming the philosophy of Ramakrishna, he went on to Japan to study Zen, which he practiced for ten years. Then the world of Islam opened up to him when he met a Sufi community in Iran, and he practiced their

many approaches. “On the surface (the traditions) contradict each other point by point. One has to look in the haystack for the needle (the unity). But I think the needle is there.”

problem One reason our picture of lslam is distorted, Smith pointed ,out, is that we think of it only in terms of the Middle East and the conflict with Israel. But Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world today. ‘There are more Muslims in Indonesia than in all of the Arab world.” The secondlargest population of Muslims is in the Soviet Union, the third largest is in India, the fourth largest is in Pakistan, and only the fifth largest is found in the Arab world, Prof. Darrol Bryant, chair of the Religious Studies department pointed out. There is a different “feel” to Islam in each of these settings, Smith explained. Political ideals and social and dress codes are relaxed, as Muslims mingle freely with others, even adopting common practices of worship with Hindu mystics and devotees in India, for example. Smith spoke briefly about Sufi mysticism, which is the aspect of Islam most attractive and approachable to Westerners. What Christians call the Fall, Sufis calJ Forgetfulness of God, he explained. The cleansing substance one must use to remove the accretion of forgetfulness from the heart is dhikr - the constant chanting of the basic prayer if Islam “La ilaha ill’ Allahoo” - There is nothing worshippable but God.

The above remarks were delivered at an informal talk to about 25 guests at Conrad Grebel College on the afternoon of Saturday, September 28. During his stay on campus, Smith gave guest lectures to a number of Religious Studies classes. On Friday morning he led a discussion at Siegfried Hall on “I&m: The Quest For God.” What are the roots of conflict and suspicion between Islam and Christianity? “Islam” means commitment to the Divine without any reservation, Smith explained. It means total selfsurrender. Westerners, liberal democrats that we are, feel uneasy with this, especially when it takes the form of surrender to social and political structures. But, at least in the Arab world, Smith pointed out, Islam is experienced as “a separate civilization, a blueprint for life as a whole, Tension and anger in the Middle East occur because of their fear that Western culture will erode their civilization. Our culture looks like a social cesspool to them.”

On our part, Smith went on, we Islam because we can’t overthrow its power even when we colonize the area. ‘The United States has to have an enemy!” he excla%ed, “NOW that the Russians are no longer a threat, Islam is becoming the target. We may not call it jihad but it is actually a holy war of the American religion of patriotism,” he said. fear

I wont’d. from page 12a Something she aiznounces, is wrong with the scanner. It needs to be fixed. In order to do that, the first step is to examine the markings of the pink fish who 3were held back in disproportionately large numbers compared to the blue fish who were being advanced. The real-world application is that “we need to look more closely at women’s qualifications.” This illustration does not seem to advocate a kind of target hiring that would create reverse-discrimination against men in the job-market-place. Rather, Minas and the liberal feminism she supports ask only that women be given the fair shake they deserve. With only a brief time left after Minas’ paper was done, Narveson made short work of the ideas he has put forward at greater length and leisure in a variety of other places (most recently, the Gazette, but also in his books and other published articles) * His primary focus was the idea of a free market, whether there should be one, and what its nature is. These questions, he said, are fundamental to the issues under discussion. In sunmary Narveson argued that first, there is no obligation, in a real free market, for anyone to create a business; second, if one does open a hkness, one is under no obligation to hireanyone (ie, other than hersew; third, if one is under no obligation to hire anyone at all, one cannot have

any obligation to hire anyone in particular; and fourth, thus, one is undeI no obligation to hire particular pro portions of people with certain pro perties, ie, being male, or being female. The relevant criterion which an employer in a free market has to consider, Narveson suggested, is the success of the business in achieving its objectives. If those objectives are its profits, then the employer should hire on the basis of-which of the applicants will best serve to raise mose profits. A vague term like “corn. petence” in regard to a particular job, will be determined according to the objective which is defined. It is not at alI cIeai that Narveson’s comments react directly upon whal Minas had elaborated, nor that they are actually in disagreement on most of the issues raised. He was more concerned with the ethical issues surrounding enforced hiring practices, she seems to have been primarily intent on explaining that women need to be treated more fairly in the regard to opportunities for advancement. That they “talked past each other” was a fact that seemed to humour both professors. To rectify the issue, .they have combined their efforts to produce their papers, reviewed and re-vamped. These two documents should be presently available from the philosophy office at Hagey HaI room 365.

The Stis’ecstatic realizations have sometimes led them to philosophical conclusions which were nondualistic and universalistic - accepting such diverse things as idol-worship and the merger of the soul into God. For this reason, they have received mixed reviews among other Muslims being generally well-respected in Africa but banished in Saudi Arabia, for example.

Mental disorder affects sleep patterris, study finds

Childhood experiences of abuse, particularly sexual a&se, lead to emotionai grid mentafdisorders which in turn cause disturbances in sleep patterns, research at the Royal Ottawa Hospi&l suggests. Led by Dr. Dragoljub Radonjic, the researchers found that the abuse itseIf is not the cause of the sleep disruptions. Rather, the disorders caused by&e abuse - such as multiple personality disorder (MPD) or posttraumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) - are responsible. The different types of disorders affect sleep in different ways, though people with MPD and PTSD often share similar backgrounds of abuse. MPD is a ‘dissociative disorder’ (characterized by a ‘split’in consciousness that allows conflicting thoughts, ideas, and opinions to be held at the same time about the same thing). It involves the emergence of two or moredistinct personalities-in the *me person. It is believed that these different personalities develop as a way of helping the abused person deal with different aspects of the abuse. experience; for example, one sub-personality might handle the rage, another the pain, and so on. In PTSD, on the other hand, the reaction to a traumatic even, such as sexual abuse, can cause a variety of symptoms besides anxiety and depression, such as re-experiencing the event in dreams or memory, a blunting of responses to other events or people, and difficulties with concentration or memory. At the Royal Ottawa Hospital, 10 PTSD patients were monitored by polysomnography for two or four consecutive nights, and similar measurements were made of a group of 12 MPD patients for two consecutive nights. Polysomnography involves monitoring changes in a sleeper’s blood pressure, breathing hear rate, and brainwave patterns. In this way, the progress of sleep can be measured throughout the night and compared to ‘normal’ patterns. Sleep occurs in a cycle that alternates ‘rapid eye movement’ (REM) sleep with non-REM sleep. During REM sleep the eyes flicker back and forth; it is at this time that the most vivid and most clearly remembered dreams occur. Tydically, four to five REM periods occur per night, each one lasting longer; the final one takes about 50 minutes. Prior to each REM phase, however, there are four stiges of deepening sleep that make up the non-REM phase. Stages 3 and 4 involve markedly slower rates of body responses (eg, breathing, brain action). This ‘slow wave sleep’ (SWS) is believed to be the most restorative period of sleep, when the body recovers from fatigue and the brain recharges. The group of MPDs studied showed “very deep stages 3 and 4 slow wave sleep.. . similar to that of a young person, a teenager,” says Dr. Radonjic. Adults tend to require less sleep than is needed in adolescence and usually show a decrease in SWS. In the MPDs, the longer SWS usually meant a loss of stage 2 non-REM sleep, with little change seen in the REM phase. The researchers also found that the sleep pattern for MPDs didn’t appear to vary significantly from one personality to another, though they hadn’t set out to study this. In the PTSD cases, no consistent variations were seen; the quality of sleep varied within and between subjects and from night to night, but was generally lower than normal. Radonjic says the PTSDs tended to have longer REM periods, which suggests they were “dreaming and going over experiences, over and over again.” The PTSDS were much more variable in the SWS readings, compared with MPDs and normal sleepers. This suggests that SWS is less restorative in these patients, Radonjic says. He suggests that the coping mechanisms they use while they’re awake don’t work while they’re asleep; consequently, their sleep is disrupted and fragmented, leading to

further problems, such as fatigue during the day. Because MPDs and PTSDs have different sleep problems even though they have had similar traumatic experiences, “our conclusion is that it’s not what they experienced then, not the abuse, so much as the present, their condition now,” Radonjic says.

indication of some sort of immaturity, Radonjic speculates. Other studies have shown that with age the number of personalities and MPD sufferer has will dwindle; whether their sleep patterns become more normal too has not been investigated, he says. In addition, he suggests that MPD sufferers may need the longer SWS period to compensate for the strains of coping with their waking existence - both the disruption caused by ‘switching’ of personalities and the stress of

Naps help ~narcolepsyiictims ’ to perform better by Lydia Dotto courtesy

of Canadian

Science News

The daytime alertness and performance of narcoleptics - people who sulfer sudden attacks of extreme sleepiness can be ~@n.ificantly improved when they take about a quarter of their normal sIeep during a single long nap in the afternoon, rather than taking it all at night, according to a study by sleep researchers at the Universi.q of Ottawa. Janet Mullington and her colleagues Martin Rivers and Wayne Dunham also found that the long-nap pattern produced better re$uIts than when subjects took a quarter of their normal sleep time in several short ups during the day. MuLlington, a PhD candidate in U of Ottawa’s Experimental Psychology Program, says most previous studies have neither investigated the effect of nap duration and timing on narcoleptics nor included repeated performance test. Consequently, even though doctors often tell narcoleptics that napping will help them - and “subjectively, narcoleptics have claimed that naps can help - there hasn’t beeb an awful lot of supporting evidence,” she says. “In terms of hard data showing the advantages, there hasn’t been very much.” The study involved. eight subjects, four male and four female, between the ages of 19 and 57. First the subjects slept 100 per cent of their normal sleep time (which varied from subject to subject) at night: this was called the corisolidated’sleep condition. Then they slept 75 per cent of their normal sleep time at night and 25 per cent during a single long nap placed about 12 hours after the mid-point of their night-time sleep - typically, in the afternoon. Finally, they slept 75 per cent at night and the remaining 25 per cent divided into five short naps of equal length, with the third nap being placed at the 12-hour point. “If we’re talking about an eight-hour sleeper, then their long nap would last about two hours and their short naps would last about 24 minutes,” Mullington says. About two dozen times a day, the subjects did performance tests to measure their reaction time, logical reasoning and arithmetic skills, and they also answered questionnaires about their mood and subjective sense of sleepiness. In addition, the subjects’ brainwave patterns, heart rate and other physiological factors were constantly monitored, The test done were on notebook’ cdmputers, which also served as alarm clocks. The computers “wake them up, they test them, they do everything but brush their teeth,” Mullington says. ‘They run their lives for eight days.” But the researchers also kept a constant watch, to keep the subjects from falling asleep at the wrong times. Mullington says that when one subject failed to emerge after her nap, she went to check and found her “fast asleep on top of her computer, right on top of it. All the keys were depressed, the computer was screaming, and she was sleeping right through it. This does happen, but we went through a lot of effort to try and keep people

awake.” When the results of the reaction time test were analyzed, the researchers found that the subjects performed significantly better while in the longnap’condition than they did in the consolidated sleep’ condition. In fact, in the long-nap condition there is a sharp drop in errors, while in the con&dated sleep condition, there is a sharp increase. The subjw’ performance during the short-nap condition was between that during the long-nap and the consolidated condition. The short naps -appeared to produce greater sleep inertia - a feeling of grogginess that sometimes occurs just after awakening and this in turn affected performance. “Short naps showed deteriorated performance immediately following the nap period, whereas long naps did not,” Mullington notes in a scientific paper. “The number of errors immediately after the nap period was significantly greater for the short naps than for long naps.” In fact, it took about 80 minutes before performance after the short naps equalled that- after the long nap. The long naps also sustained performance at higher levels for longer periods than the short naps. For example, 50 minutes after the

nap, performance levels in the long-nap condition were significantIy higher than those in the short-nap condition. “I thii that what we’re seeing is that they’re sustaining the benefits of napping” says Mullington. S@e adds that “it’s clear that the long nappirig hndition is benefitting the narcoleptics over the consolidated condition,” even thought the totaI amount of sleep time is the same in each case. However, some people may benefit as much from short “aps, depending on individual differences, she says. Although narcoleptics are often advised to nap during the day, “I think the scheduling of naps is uncommon,” Mullington says. The study suggests narcoleptics could probably bet&t n&t from schebuling a loig nap ik the afternoon, but this is often difficult for people to manage. “It depends on the flexibility in their workplace and on how they are able to schedule other things in their life. I think what this demonstrates is that if you can, it may be to your advantage.” Mullington and her colleagues are still analyzing other aspects of the data. Their research was funded by the Medical Research Council of Canada.

The Naturalist by Phillip

Chee

You don’t expect to find too many instances of nature in a bustling urban main street; particularly in Montreal during the jazz festival. To the t ical city-dweller, such thoughts seem.foreign to their perception. Som 3 ow the gas-guzzling toys amidst the postmodern facades of urban planners seems unconducive for that sort of sensibility. Henry Ford and Le Corbusier dancing the lambada of dystopia. The idea of actually stopping to admire an insect rather than dismissing it, or worse, threatening its existence, would seem nonsensical to the people promenading onward around me. What a flake. So, when a black and yellow-jacketed wasp alighted upon my nose with a tickling softness, I froze. Not in fear. Recalling the childhood wisdom to freeze on the spot soas not to provoke bees, hornets, and wasps, I did just that. But instead of wishing it away, I invited my six-legged friend to stay; and she did. By emanating good will and clearing my thoughts of any malice, I figured I might entice her to stay. The little wasp began exploring my watch, curiously investigating the ridges in the wristband. The thought emerged: Who was actually the specimen being studied? This went on for some minutes, maybe ten. Although my gaze had been fixed upon my watch, I paid no notice to such temporal constraints, to that ultimate in societal bondage. Sometimes, the little wasp flitted to my cardigan and back to my hand. I felt a strange kinship to this creature; a bond of respectful coexistence. So much did I feel a sheer swelling of emotional delight did I wish others around me to know. Glancing upon the faces seated stoically on a bench in front of me, I gathered they had not noticed this little episode. Their loss. Eventually the wasp departed. As soon.as she did, I looked up and noticed a man, kneeling low and aiming a camcorder in my direction. He got up and walked past me, smiled, and assured me that I had been witnessed after all. I smiled inwardly, my distrust for voyeuristic technology aside. It was not a self-flattering smugness I guess, but a brief experience of the irony that, like Public Eye, I had managed to throw a kink in that unarticulated presence that is slowly making the world disappear.

With regard to these other sorts of resource, there is a further basic reason why “finite” doesn’t entail “scarce”: it is that we Ieam to use these substances more efficiently.

even as we make more and more things with those resources, then of course the picture of a supply that is dwindling remorselessly already begins to lose its ominous quality. Technology, in other words, is again the essential catalyst. And technology, is, of course, driven by the market. (It is also, as we will be emphasizing further below, in principle unlimited.) The very fact that known resources are getting harder to come by, when that is so, spurs on research on how to use them better. And the research is always successful+ a fact which it is a major purpose of this essay to persuade readers that it should be utterly unsurprising.

Some basic resources are not in any sense even finite, not even potentially scarce. But what about the rest, though? Aren’t we runi ning low on some resources such as oil, cop per, iron? And what about food - isn’t there starvation? Isn’t there reason for concern? The short answers to these questions are, again, negative, We are not “running low” on anything, and there is no reason to think that we will either sooner, or later. And the kind of concern we need to have about starvation has

People just love to prophesy that we are running short of food, even as surpktses mount skyward in those counh-ies foolish enough to subsidize its production; indeed, those same countries often resort to paying their farmers not to grow crops on some of their agricultural land. Food is, of course, locally scarce in countries foolish enough to keep food prices artificially low, and heartless enough to block entry to the mountains of provisions so readily extended by generous wealthy nations. Coercive restriction of agricultural prices, in Russia, Nicaragua and various African countries, provides highly efficient disincentives to their farmers. But thatis no reflection on the capacity of either the land or the farmers in those coun-

it bluntly, in cloud-cuckooland - as the facts keep on confirming. Agricultural production keeps going upand up, at a pace in advance of population; so does industrial production of all sorts (and would far more, surely, if the human resources siphoned off into administration of programs designed to repress it were instead utilized for its further enhancement) . Here’s a lovely example of what people who are bound and determined to find a crisis around every corner will say about this matter. Anne Erlich tells us that ‘Ibetween 1950 and 2000, acreage of land planted in grains per person worldwide will have shrunk by half. Nearly all the 2.6-f&d increase in grain production since 1950 has come from increasing yields (production per acre).” And just what is supposed to be wrong with that? She doesn’t say - despite the obvious inference with what she does say. For the population of the world hasn’t increased by anything like 2.6 times since 1950 (it’s more like 1.4)) so that in fact the amount of food available, even on a per capita basis and despite substantial population increase, has greatly increased. So even if her “facts” about the absolute amount of “farmland” available were correct, what her claims would imply is that the amount of farmland available is becoming increasingly irrelevant, that humans can take of their needs for food admirably on a decreasing amount of land. Her facts are wildly off anyway -acreage under cultivation has increased steadily over the past century and is still doing so - yet even if they weren’t, why would it matter, so long as we can extract more from a given acre, and our capacity to make an acre yield more continues? There is, of course, no reason whatever why the food supply per person should keep expanding: individual people are not expanding at exponential rates - why should their food supply? Alas, Ehrlich’s mindless report is no worse than most.

Wont’d. from page 170 tries to produce food. And the cure for it is by now utterly obvious: don’t do it. Let farmers and consumers agree on their prices. That is, let the food production and distribution system be market-driven and thqse farmers will cheerfully supply the demand. AI1 of the actual starvation in the world since the first half of this century has been due to politics, and some of it to poor management and technology; none of it can be ascribed to limited resources. This too is unsurprising, again for essentially the same reason. Basically, as I say, the food that goes into US at one end and comes out in different forms at the other converts, by assorted familiar processes, back into food. It is an inherently recycled class of products. Malthus was wrong in principle. Land People talk of a finite supply of agricultural land, for instance, or of fertilizer, and the like, and infer doom from such considerations. Part of the problem tith such arguments is conceptual and we will take that up a little later. But, for the moment, consider that on recent estimates, enough food can be grown to supply the minimal nutritional needs of an average human on a mere 27 square meters of earth - about the size of the average living room for a “bourgeois” homeowner. If my mathematics isn’t too far off, then at this bestcurrently-possible output, that’s enough to feed 37,000 people on one square kilometer. At that rate, the entire population of the world could be fed on a mere 135,000 of them about the area of say, New Brunswick, one of Canada’s smallest provinces. If we suppose that even one-quarter of that efficiency is prctty realistically possible on good farmland, then to feed everyone in @e world nowadays would require an area roughly the state of Kansas. With hydroponic farming technology, now beginning to come on stream, food output per unit could beat that by a wide margin. There is no limit to this process. You have to keep your head very firmly fixed in the technological sand to mouth Malthusian

United Way biased?

No, says organizer

To the editor,

This week UW folks (faculty, staff, graduates, and I believe, students too) are being sent an appeal from the University asking them to contribute together to the United Way. In order to be sure that everyone has an opportunity to inake a fully-informed decision, I want to point out a little-known current policy of the local United Way. The organization has decided that it will not fund the important services of Planned Parenthood because of that group’s willingness to provide information on abortion, while at the same time the United Way is funding Birthright, an organization that opposes choice on abortion. A small but vocal group has pushed this policy on the organization, and the policy will remain if nothing is said. If this is of concern to you, as it-is to me and to many others in this University with whom I have spoken, I would encourage you to consider the option of returning your pledge form with a note written on it stating that you would be happy to donate but will do so only after the United Way publicly reverses its policy of refusing needed funding to Planned Parenthood. In the meantime, you can contribute directly to groups that rely on United Way funding, such as the local food banks, so as not to penalize them for decisions over which they have had no control. An alternative measure, which does not harm other United member way organizations, is to stipulate that a specific portion of your donation be sent to Planned Parenthood, a directive with which the United Way will comply.

Rebecca Filyer Psychokgy Grad Student

A grad student, Rebecca Filyer, wrote a letter to the Imprint regarding a perceived injustice to Planned Parenthood (PP for brevity). She also implicates Birthright, a United Way agency, in the controversy. We were aware of this letter due to an earlier discussion regarding posters in PAS. We taIked to the Executive Directors of the three agencies, and all agreed that Rebecca’s actions were inappropriate. Rebecca suggests that you withhold donations from United Way, and send donations to individual agencies. This is impractical since there are 47 participating agencies. Donor designation through the United Way, or a direct donation to PP are bet,ter solutions. PP prefer direct donations so they can keep donors informed of their work, and status. Donations can be sent to them at 119 King St. W., Kitchener NZG lA7. Donor designation cards can be obtained from department representatives, or from Karen Hicks (ext. 3760). We have reported several errors of fact to Rebecca regarding her letter: a) United Way has an open door polilcy regarding agencies, and has contacted PP periodically. The ne)v Executive Director of PP was unaware of this, and incorrectly advised Rebecca that no contact had been made since 1977. b) Birthright’s “reason for being” is to assist pregnant women in distress. They are not judgmental, and respect the right of the woman to choose. PP occasionally refers clients to Birthright. c) The withdrawal of PP was not caused by “a small vocal group.” For the two years that PP was a member of the Federated Appeal (now the United Way), canvassers reported large numbers of people who were withholding donations because of PP’s participation. A special committee was formed to investigate the issue, and it was found that indeed the involvement of PP was having a detrimental effect on Federated Appeal’s fund raising ability. To save the organization, the board

decided to ask l?P to withdraw. The United Way is caught in the middle between supporters and opponents of PP. In November 1984 the organizations met to discuss the problem. The meeting was amicable. One result was the issuing of a nonjudgmental, joint response in October 1985. It was also resolved that PP would inform the community of its feelings on the issue, ie, they are suppo&ive of the i&ited Way because 6f their worthwhile work in the community; they harbour no ill feelings over the split-up; they were not interested in participating in the United Way at that time. At a PP board meeting last fall similar resolutions were reaffirmed. If anyone has any questions, they can call us.

To the editor, Sandy Atwal, in his feature on page 16 this week, makes the following statement: “. . . the Ontario College of Arts sic .. . has determined through some twisted reasoning that it is going to counteract pastdiscrimination by not hiring any males as part of their faculty until the ratio of men to women is one to one.” This is not true. According to articles in the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail in January 1990, the decision taken by OCA was to fill positions created by retirements (not all positions) over the next ten years (not forever) by hiring qualified women. Their target is to have the percentage of female faculty rise from 25 per cent to 38 per cent (not 50 per cent) ; Could we have a correction printed, please? Prabhakar

They say that to be a playoff team, jute got to be able to beat other .ayoff teams. Tomorrow, Waterloo ilI continue their quest for a playoff zth by playing host to the McMasr Marauders at Seagram Stadium.

As always, the defence was inspired, limiting the Yeomen to 85 net yards. Waterloo’s “D” has allowed only three touchdowns in three league games and accumulated nine interceptions for two TDs. But in thii game, the offence got on track as well, rolling to 409 net yards, a stunning 384 yards of that on the ground. Running up the score? How about running roughshod.

At York’s Esther Shiner Stadium st Thursday night (September 26), .e Warriors demonstrated the other 3lf of that equation - you’ve also It to be able to dominate the weaker ams in your division - as they ounced the hapless Yemen 44-l. he York squad gave Waterloo all the zip they could, allowing 20 secondlarter points, most of them leading om turnovers.

“For the firsttime in Waterloo foot311history,” said head coach Dave ‘My’ Knight, “we were accused of inning up the score!” Of course, you in’t blame Waterloo for churning bwn the field in the fourth quarter ith its back-up offence in.

Waterloo fans look forward to the Roy Owens Memorial game on October 26 between UW and the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks, which will pit the league’s best pass defence up against the second-best passing offence.

The Highlights Warriors contributed Five juchdowns on the frigid and rindswept tundra of North York: bm Chartier, Jason Prickett, Rob latai, Steve Dean, and Mike Son, lese last two coming in the fourth uarter. Chartier topped the century mrk for the third straight game, massing 197 yards on only 25 caries, and Cory Delaney snagged his Durth interception this season, to put im in a tie for the lead in the CIAU. ‘his game brought the all-star ailback’s numbers on the season to !53 yards on 73 carries, with 4 TDs.

The first points scored against York set the tone for a dismal performance by the Yeomen, as their snapper tossed the balI over their punter’s head tb aIIow a safety. This 2-O score held for the first quarter, but York’s finger was roughly removed from the dike in the second period.

On York’s next play from scrimmage, backup quarterback Mark Leo, starting in place of the Yeomen’s starter (injured the week before), threw an interception to Waterloo defensive back Delaney, setting up the Warriors at the York 45-yard line. Six pIays later, Bennet passed to Prickett for a three-yard TD.

With Waterloo up 9-0, York muffed a kick-off return on their 30-yard line, with Waterloo recovering and driving to the five-yard line before being forced to kick a field goal.

Two downs and a punt for York, and Jason Rosettani’s 30-yard punt return placed them deep in Yeomen territory once again, this time at the 34syard line. Waterloo tacked on a field goal to make the halftime score 22-0, and coasted from there. Things went so well for Waterloo that one feels almost guilty describing highlights. Ah, well.

With Waterloo up 30-0, York received their only break of the game - little consolation after more than 40 minutes of a thrashing. Placekicker Velentzas shanked a 27-yard fieldgoal attempt, and Delaney kneeled to concede the single and mar the shutout. But no matter.

Hockey

by CD Coulas

Imprintsports Hockey has been making sports news for a few weeks now, with the Canada Cup, the Eric Lindros stupidity, and all the other trades and turmoil, but now is the time for the Ontario university hockey season to Start.

Entering the season, the UW Wa?riors are defending OUAA West champions, and third-ranked in the country. However, a repeat of last season’s spectacular performance will be very hard accomplish.

Last seuson‘s success tough act to follow The Warriors finished with an 1% 2-2 win/loss/tie record last year going without a Ioss in their first 18 games. In the play-offs, the Warriors lost their first game to Guelph at home, but went into their building and beat them 4-O. The Warriors finished off Guelp’h with a 12-O romp here in Waterloo. They then went on to beat the tough Laurier Golden Hawks two games to none. Waterloo was now looking forward to the CIAU champiqnship series in Toronto.

Unfortunately, the Warriors losta 5-4 double overtime heartbreaker to Alberta in the CIAU semi-final game, and had to settle for third place. The Trois-Rivieres Patriot= skated away as the national champions. Head coach Don McKee attributes Waterloo’s success last year to “very goaltending,” “excellent strong defence,” and “good hard-working forwards.” In preparation for their defence of their OUAA West title, coach Don McKee has put together a wellrounded team,filling in the holes left by departing players, and shoring up his already strong coaching staff with some new personnel. Gone this season are: OUAA West All-Star defenceman Ian Pound {who is playing pro in Scotland), defenceman Craig Shaw, fourth year assistant captain Jim David, captain Clark Day, Gord Costigan, hard-working leftwinger Mike MacKay, Ken Feddema, third-string goalie Mark McCue, and Jamie Maki who played out his ~NI and last year of eligibility last season. To make up for their absence, coach McKee did recruiting over the summer, and came up with some rookies that should h&p Waterloo’s offensive prowess,

Helping out in the decisionmaking this year will be the largest coaching staff UW’s hockey has ever had. Returning to the staff are: defensive specialist Rob Whistle, 1989 CIAU Most Valuable Player and future UW Hall of Famer Mike Bishop to help out the goalies, and McKee’s number one assistant Geoff Ward. New this year are former player and captain under McKee John Goodman, and Rob Barnes, another defensive coach. Mckee and his coaches are going to have their work cut out for them against much improved teams like Guelph and Western. McKee sites their goaltending as the key to victory over these teams becausk of the equally talented skaters put forth by these teams. However, experience in winning, and good work ethics instilled in the players by the coaches will keep Waterloo as a team to beat, now, and for years to come.

Waterloo stands at 2-2 on the season. The battle to make the playoffs is heating up with Queen’s, M&laster, and Western standing as early favourites for the three postseason spots. Waterloo needs to beat McMaster in Hamilton this weekend to keep their hopes alive. Coach Mark Harper wants more point production from his team - after four games, they still have not scored a try.

The offensive barrage continued, as rookie sensation Mark Cianopolous streaked up the middle and arched a blast between the Ryerson pipes. 1 Even with the game in the bag the merciless Warrior side maintained its “pressure cooker” offense, and the hapless Rams yielded to victory. On Sunday, the Warriors took the low road to Windsor to joust with the Lancers. After a slow start due in most part to the three-hour bus fever, the Warriors regained their form and began to take charge of the situation. The Warrior defense (which has not allowed a single goal) was inspired by the “Eat ‘em raw, spit ‘em out dead” play of Mark ‘Terminator’ Blake, and the coast-to-coast rushes of sweeper Greg Pappas.

After a scoreless half, the Warriors tightened their defensive play, and .pressed for goal. The Windsor netminder was however, equal to the onslaught. Dave Presta was robbed of a free kick (over the wall) by the Iancer keeper, who had to “sprawl to the

Last Wednesday, the Waterloo women’s soccer team travelled to Steel-town to face number-one McMaster, dropping a disappointing game to the Marauders 5-O. The Athenas played a strong first half, fending off the “Mac attacks” until an unlucky break caused the Athenas to score on their own net, making it 1-O for Mac at the half. The luck of the Athenas didn’t improve with the beginning of the second half. Goalkeeper Andrea (Andy) Jalbert, who had kepf Waterloo in the game with her outstanding performance, met with a Mac knee to the pelvic bone, and was taken to hospital by ambulance. The situation rapidly deteriorated for the Athenas and the game ended 5-O. For the near future, Andrea will be resting her bruised bones, and either Sheri MacDonald or Anna Hoogendoom will occupy the space between the two poles. All friends and fans are hoping for a swift recovery that will return Andy back to where she belongs. Until that time, the Athenas will have to make do for their upcoming games against Brock, Western and Guelph. Come out and support the soccer Athenas this weekend as they play at home to (boo, hiss) Western on Saturday and Guelph on Sunday on the Columbia pad.

special t0’Impri.d The Athena cross country running team stormed past the top schools in Ontario on Saturday to win the Queen’s University Invitational Cross Country Meet. In a phenomenal display, they placed all five of their scoring runners in the top-10 for a convincing victory over Queen’s and Western. And when the national rankings came out Tuesday, the Waterloo Athenas were third, behind the University of Victoria and the Univ&sity of British Columbia. Ranked only sixth in the OWIAA last year, and unranked nationally, the team has astounded everyone with their consistent improvement this season. The final test will come on November 2 at the OUAA/OWIAA Championships in Toronto, where the Athenas will be vying for gold once again - and a trip to the CIAU Championships on November 9.

Thefinal test will comeon Nov. 2 At the Queen’s meet on Saturday, over 150 runners from 10 Ontario universities and five running clubs met at Lemoine Conservation Area just outside Kingston. Cool weather and a fast course on wide forest trails made racing conditions ideal.

Brent McFarlane

(Coach),

Laffradi Lisa led the team to take third place in a time of 19:36. Marci Aitken and Victoria Seay worked together through the race to pass runners from Queen’s and Western, finishing fifth and sixth (19:53,19:57) respectively. Aitken ran a strong race, despite a collision in the last 100 metres that robbed her of an extra position. With a new race strategy, Victoria Seay ran the best race of her season to improve dramatically over her finish at last wee k’s race. 1 Not far behind was Nancy Calder who overcame a bit of bronchitis to place eighth (20:25). Sepanta Dorri, continuing her outstanding performance as a rookie, anchored the scorers with a tenth-place finish (20:29). Margaret Barnes, Julia Norman, and Marina Jones did their part in displacing runners from the opposing teams: Barnes’ 12th-place finish ahead of three scorers from Western increased their score by three points. Norman, a nordic skier at heart, showed how to run a fast race and finish strong by taking two runners in the final 1OOm to finish 22nd (21:32). Continuing to prove that sprinters can make excellent distance runners, Jones placed 34th (22:20) in the tough field of 74 runners.

The Athenas won the 5310-metre women’s race with a combined score of 32 points, placing ninners third, fifth, sixth, eighth, and tenth. Queen’s was second with 47 points and Wes-

The men’s team had a tough act to follow, but rose to meet the challenge to place fifth among university teams. The University of Western Ontario won the meet. The crowded start of the 9945-metre race saw 100 runners sprint across the clearing to the forest entrance. Jason Gregoire, another nordic skier, had a field day leading the Warriors through the trails. He set back three Western runners in the last two kilometres to finish in a personal-

ball home for a Waterloo goal. Although the Athenas played well for the remainder of the game, they had lost some of their initial momentum, and were unable to add to their first goal. The final score was 1-O for Waterloo. After a short break, Waterloo faced the York Yeowomen in a battle. York is in the midst of a rebuilding year and their line-up is noticeably weakened by the uncertainty of their freshmen, despite being anchored by some some strong players. The game was well played by both sides, with neither side being able to score a goal. York Disappointingly enough, managed to score on a p&My comer in the last 20 seconds of the game to dump UW 1-Q. Nonethela% Coach Judy McCrae was proud of her team’s endeavors, and congratulated them on their skill and tenacity. The team, however, attributes their success to their new socks.

On Sunday, Waterloo we slated to meet the University of Toronto Bfues at Columbia Fields. As the game started, the team realized that their cohesion of the day before was lacking. Man-to-man marking was lax, and the. team was silent; their normal relay of information from player to player was absent. As the Athenas struggled, the Blues scored four goals, a tally that was to remain to the game’s end. Waterloo managed to regain some of their former unity, but it was too late. The team discussed their lapses in play, and have implemented some new communication techniques.

On stage, Strange Days inject a vibmncy into their music that is missing from their Sive” recordings. Strange Days are often compared to The Tragically Hip and the Skydiggers, but they don’t seem to mind. In fact, they encourage it. Uebig sported a Skydiggers T-shirt on stage, and the band included “Monday Morning” and the Hip’s “Upiated” in their set. If these songs underlined the distinctive sound which made Strange Days’ original songs - especialIy “Johnny” and “The Last Waltz” - big hits with the audience, they also explained why. There is a famiharity to their original songs that gives you the impression of having heard that melody - those lyrics - before, or of having lived the experiences Shannon Lyon (lead vocals & guitar) writes about. The effect is similar to that of seeing an old, Moved friend in a fresh, new light. Its always’ nice to see an old friend in a newt light, of course. But Strange Days co&!e dangerously close to throwing the very mrne light, however distinctive, on every single one of their songs. The newness fades, and after two hours, even a fresh sound can become monotonous. The fans didn’t seem to mind, however, and cheered the txmd on to a 20-minute encore.

He started out most of the songs by saying, “Well I wrote this song I wrote in 1956” or “I wrote this song when my daughter was six years old.“Consequently, you get the idea that not a lot of new material was offered by the Man in Black. But of course the crowd didn’t care, they lapped up everything he did and said. As usual the Johnny Cash Show consisted of more than just the main man - he had his fourpiece back-up band as well as his wife, June Carter Cash, their son John Carter Cash, and June’s sister Helen. His voice was what you would expect after touring for 30 years, rough but still powerful. The firstset went on for almost an hour Of jOhMy and the back-up band. Thii was loneer than I expected but he really wasn’t very energetic until his wife came out and together they hammed it up for the song “Jackson,” about a guy going to foyxQ9 g& away from his wife.

F&m the first few seconds of Plague Mass, however, one can instantly tell that she has an absolutely incredible voice (read: she m&es Sinead O’Connor sound like a six-year old), which spans three-anda-half octaves (with multiphonics, whatever that is). This project is the culmination of a four-part set of works she began thinking about in 1984. The first three parts were released as the Il4mqz4e of Red Death trilogy on the Mute label from 19861988, and is dedicated “to

Then Robert Forster (one of the band’s songwriters) borrowed a couple Bad Seeds from Nick Cave to produce the brooding masterpiece Danger in the Past. Not to be outdone, Grant McLennan {the other songwriter) teamed up with Steve Kilbey of the Church for the brilliant Jack Frost project. Now McLennan has released his first solo Lp, Watmhed. Even a casual comparison of the Forster and McLennan albums suggests a lot about what the musical dynamics within the Go-Betweens were like. Forster’s record was challenging, menacing and occasionally difficult, but it stayed in the listen&s mind long after the needle left the final groove.

In a way, it’s almost like undergoing hypnosis: it’s completely captivating and effective while you’re experiencing it, but when it’s over, it’s as if it never happened.

So when he speaks in a twisted, horny tone, we assume as we always have - that it’s Prince, loveable Prince yearning for a spiritual, union with femininity, fusing sex and religion into one orgasmic wet vision. So what does ‘let a woman be a woman and a man be a man” imply? Is Prince regressing into a macho cock-rocker?

While Fugazi fans should be quite happy with it, the LP unfortunately does not break any radical new ground. Steady Ilie? reminds us of what is good about Fugazi. Their proven formula is in fme form: Ian Ma&aye and Guy Picciotto’s raunchy vocal assault combines with jagged, distorted guitars,all held together bythe potent and precise rhythm section (Brendan Canty and Joe Ially, to be specific). This is stripped*down r&k at its most basic. Fugazi’s raw, but inspired sound and honest, thoughtproVoking lyrics make up for what they may lack in instrumental talent and prolific songwriting abilities.

However, Sready Did fails to explore any new musical territory. Most of the songs here are interchangeable with those on Refilter. Even the producer and recording studio are the same.

sane pretty good songs. It’s not just the surface gloss that undermines the album, though. If the Go-Betweens were the perfect pop band, McLennan’s songs are simply textbook pop. He has followed ail the steps to the letter - great hooks, strong rhythms and melodies, big choruses - but his work is missing any distinctiveness, any sort of edge. That kind of edge was present in the Go-Betweens, and that was apparently provided by Robert Forstex. Barring an unlikely group reunion, we seem to have two separate solo careers to look forward to: one that will become increasingly bizam and erratic (Robert Forster as John Lennon), and one that will degenerate into a flaccid parody of pop music (Grant McLennan as Paul McCartney). Maybe those tears weren’t so unnecessary after all.

Apart from the confusion, it really is his most disappointing single since, say, “Thieves In The Temple.” Thii EP, clocking in at 45plus minutes, is nothing short of a test of patience. The charms of “Gett Off” are brief; the beat goes from funky to flatulent, and the call-and-response vocals have but a few short minutes of potency. Sure there’s bonus tracks ‘Violett The Organ Grinder” (get it?) “Gangster

by Sandy Atwal Imprint staff If there’s one problem that any artist who’s been around for along time is going to have, it’s lame-ass comparisons by shameless fan-boys to earlier periods in the musician’s artistic development. The Moz is no exception and is in fact the rule considering the lasting impression The Smiths have on the neurotic youthoubiders of today (myself included). But even the angst-in-his-pants Morrissey has gotten over that, and continued to put out noteworthy platters. “Pregnant for the Last Time” is not an EP I initialIv liked.

- those reluctant to believe that the “new” Spirit is still producing good work need only to listen to the lyrics of these tunes to recognize the famiir themes and metaphors of the band. Now for the bad news; inconsistency is the order of the day with GO Figure. “Pulling Lame,” about a void of political leadership, and “Just Another Day,” a diatribe against sensationalism in the media, and ‘%ig Head” are the weakest of the litter, reflecting all of the things that can go wrong when an acoustic band adds drums and bass to their music; they’re repetitive, plodding, and bora3-

For all intents and purposes, +iis back-up band is now the Razorback, doo-wrapping to tales of hopeless losers that the Mozzer, in all of His sold-out-Madison-Square-Gardens introvertedness somehow still identifies with. But this track seems to have a little more sprite in its step than most of the stuff from “Kill Uncle” and its is the realm of pop where the Melancholy Mancunian whines best. As is His wont, Morrissey includes a great B-side; three tracks: “Cosmic Dancer,” “Skin Storm”’ and “Disappointed.” “Skin Storm” is a little slow and “Disappointed” is “truly, truly... ” W& you know how it goes. It’s rather erratic (but very well updated). On the other hand, “Cosmic Dancer” is a greut cover. Well rehearsed and charged with emotion, it continues in the vein of ‘That’s Entertainment” as Morrissey doing a good job with other people’s material I was going to slag this one, but it definitely bears closer and repeated listen@.

we were writing - it didn’t feel that it fit a real Celtic feeling and we were also kind of tired of lifting a lot of Irish tunes out of O’Neil’s song book and various Boffee band albums. The two Celtic-styled tunes on the new album are tunes that Geoffrey Kelly wrote. So, that’s been a big change for us, and also we just felt that we wanted to explore some different avenues. When Geoff and myself were writing the album, we brought it into the band for arrangements, the instrumentation was quite aggressive and the Celtic parts took a bit of a back seat. On the next album, it might be the dominating force, but on this album, you’re right, it’s more of a highlight. Imprint: So you didn ‘t real/y set out to do that, it was just the way that thesongs jlowe&

Mann: Well, that was actually the label that wanted us to redo “Political” basically the same way we did it on theIAlbOurD~y album except adding drums, and we said that we didn’t want to do that because it felt like, you know, what’s the point. Actually, we went into the studio and laid a tit of it down, and we felt so terrible that we just said forget it. So, the producer, Joe ChiccarelIi, said, well look, let’s just have some fun with it; let’s go in and pick up different instrumentsand let’s re-write the song. If it doesn’t work after an hour and a half, then don’t even bother, So, we fooled around with it and now we’re all quite excited by it. To us, it seems like a very different song - bright, optimistic I don’t ihink it has the drama of the original version. But the original version was written not long after the relationship that inspired it, and this is seven years old now, so it’s kind of hard to bring up that kind of passion again.

Career Opportunities The Pogues

Exhibition Stadium, Torrrn to September 30

by Kenton Augerznan Imprint staff

cheers, not jeers, when he blundered his way-through ‘Rain Street,” “The Sick Bed Of Cuchulainn,” and “Dirty Old Town.” It came as quite a shock to see how easily an icon like MacGowan who, in Strummer’s words, is “the visionary, the poet of the band.. . one of the finest writers of the century” could be forgotten Apparently, the crowd would rather have seen The Clash than The rogues because they reserved their biggest pvations for “London Calling” and “I Fought The Law.” Even the finale, “Honky Tonk Women” (perfomed for some

The Pogues’concert in Toronto last Monday night was a disappointment for two reasons: the absence of lead singer/ head songwriter Shane MacCowan, and the complete indifference of the audience toward his absence. The void left by MacCowan should have been felt immediately, as exClash frontman Joe Strummer turned in a sub-par vocal performance on the opening number “If I Should Fall From Grace With God.“The frenzied throng didn’t mind, however, and they welcomed Strummer into the fold. Similarly, Strummer received

In fairness to him, he did do a good job on “Sayonara” and “Turkish Song Of The Damned.” Moreover, he undoubtedly had to learn enough songs to get through a one-and-ahalf-hour set in a very short amount of time (MacGowan and The Pogues ,, parted company three weeks ago).

The rest of The Pog&s were their usual solid selves, and this proved to be the evening’s salvation. Philip Chevron on acoustic guitar and Spider Stacy on vocals were particularly impressive. If anyone has the right to replace MacGowan, it’s Stacy. Unfortunately, The Pogues just aren’t the same without Shane MacGowan, as they proved when the He//‘s Ditchtour stopped at Exhibition Stadium.

Dynamite with The Farm and Downtown

by Sandy Atwal

Imprint

staff

With rumours of a Clash reunion just around the corner, Joe Strummer officially joining the rogues as frontman, and this being Mick Jones’ first visit to Canada since his tour in the early ’80s with that other band he was in, the hype machine was in full effect. The climax was reached this Tuesday at RPM with a sold-out crowd ready to sample the all new Big Audio Dynamite II. Of course this would have been enough ‘to ensure a capacity crowd, but having The Farm as an opening act, riding as they are on the Groovy Gravy Train of success, didn’t hurt. There was an opening-opening act, New York duo Downtown Science. I caught only the last two songs by them, but this was enough to hear and see some very solid rapping. A rap style reminiscent of LL Cool J, and a DJ with spaghetti fingers delivered an energetic, involving performance to the receptive RPM crowd. Part of their style can be attributed to their producer Sam Sever +also producer of 3rd Bass. Definitely worth following. A half-hour break, enough for everyone to cram up to the front, and the Farm took the stage. What might superficially be seen as a baggy cashin, the Liverpudlians handed out tickets to ride with a much more powerful and much more raw edge than on their LP Spartclcus. They flagrantly broke the iaws of shoe-

We’re gunna play Dublin soul. - Jimmy Rabbitte “We can ‘t all be slcrrs ehe the sky would full. ” - Kevin Healy

So have you seen my movie yet? I’m the star y&u know. And I just &t a big huge record deal and 1% been approached by blaah blaah ,

“HAVE YOU got soul? If so the World’s Hardest Working Band is looking for you. Contact-J. Rabitte, 118 Chestnut St, Barrytown Rednecks and Southsiders need not apply.”

FOOT,

363 King Street, N., WATERLOO (King and Columbia St.) 888-0203

In an effort to bring soul to Dublin, Jimmy Rabbitte (Robert Arkins) placed that advertizement in the local newspaper. After sitting through some awful renditions of everything from “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now” (The Smiths) to “On the Good Ship Lollipop” to a little Elvis “‘Cajun style,” the fruits of his patience spawned The Commitments (of course we all know every good soul ‘band must have a name that begins with the word ‘The”). In June ‘90, Alan Parker, like Jimmy Rabitte, started advertising for actors/ musicians to fill character roles for a film adaptation of Roddy Doyle’s novel ‘The Commitments.” What he didn’t anticipate was the arduous task of having to sift through over 1,500 applications from which he only needed 13. Not a bad turnout considering that at the time Ireland was well on the way to a quarter-final berth in the World Cup. The beauty of Roddy Doyle’s novel lies not ti the storyline itself, but in the dialogue. An English and geography high school teacher, Doyle has an incredible ability to astutely capture the essence of language on paper. His work focuses onthe north side of Dublin (the Liffey being the dividing line), generally considered the working class side. His astute use of pithy slang, be it clean or not, is a testimony,of his success, found elsewhere inhis two hit plays ‘Brownbread” and ‘War.” It

was sheer pleasure to find that Parker did not compromise the language merely to appease the international market. Incidentally, Doyle is currently in contention to win the Baker award (a top British literary award) for his third novel ‘The Fan” During the movie, it is mentioned that the Irish are the blacks of the British Isles, a metaphor used to justify a group of white guys singing soul. This is further justified since the setting (the north side - low income housing run down tenements, block a artment buildings) and characters aE reflect the black side of Ireland. In an effort to avoid the “picture postcard” romanticism of the Emerald Isle usually captured on film and attempt to document a rougher, starker, economically crippled “realistic” Ireland, atmospherically, Parker has achieved a sort of Lord of the Flies meets Cherry 2ooo. It seemed that in every outdoor scene the background was monopolized by a myriad of psychotic children running amuck in a post-apocalyptic playground. In trying to drill home the “black” motif, he has overcompensated by creating an Ireland darker, more sinister than Mad Max could ever stumble upon. In no way do I believe that film should be a medium for travel guides, but in this case the aspiration of effect may have muddled the intended realism. . . . . . . . . . . . ..*........-m-b*=****Wow, I should lighten up. ’

the first

song

I heard

from the soundtrack on CAMS (a Bttle plug for the needy) made me want to heave hardballs, (and 1 still don’t know if 1 could con myself into shelling out some of my OSAP for it), with a little visual aid and some necessary contextualization, some (not all) was actually more than palatable. In particular, the vocal performance of Maria Doyle (Natalie, the Commitment-ette in the middle) was outstanding - shivers and tingles galore. The length of the movie could have possibly been shortened considerably by leaving a little more of the musical footage on the editing floor, the showcasing of the band enjoying marginal success became a little self-induIgent and tiresome. Very often, supporting actors overshadow the stars, prompting a reassessment as to who really should be earning the big bucks. There really isn’t that problem here as there are stellar performances by all (an impressive feat considering only two of them ever had any sort acting experience). Andrew Strong (sixteen at time of filming) - better known as Deco, the band’s lead singer - is beginning to reap the benefits of being found. Apparently, he has just signed a guaranteed five-record recording deal with MCA - pretty good for someone who can’t shave, An extra Oreo cookie should go into bouncer/replacement drummer Mickah Wallace’s (Dave Finnegan) packed lunch, whose mere prmence on the screen induces cacophonous laughter throughout the cinema. Jimmy’s dad, Jimmy Rabitte Sr. (Colm Meaney), @so deserves one, filling the boots of an Irish Homer Simpson. Have you ever heard anyone say - ‘You know, that movie has its moments” ? You’re gonna hear it again. You know, that movie has its moments - lots of them. There’s obviously no sense in giving you a “and then this happened and that and it was really funny when blah, blah, blah, blah . . .” because when you do see it, youll be guilty enough of this crime for weeks to come. (okay, kids, wait for the cheesy catchphrase ending . . J Commit yourself to the Commitments. Ta daaaa.

_ Bon Appetit! . Late For Dinner D&ted by W R. Richter

There is a scene in Late For Dinner where one of the main characters, a childlike man named Frank with a kidney dkorder, says,‘The purpose of time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” This line rings true for the film itself: everything relevant, everything that is theme-oriented and dramatically effective happens at the end of film. The film can be divided into two pam: the romantic part and the comedy part. These two qualities are never intertwined and as they exist, independent of each other, never quite achieve a climax on a comedic or emotional level.

The first hour is devoted almost entirely to establishing the characters’ ’ predicament and moving from one. plot-propelling scene to another, I never settling down and focusing on the characters. Add to this the fad-that there really is no subplot (essentially, two guys get frozen for 29 years and wake up to a new reality, in search of their lobed ones) and y&r have a very one dimensional, life&s film after an hour of watching.

The last half hour (right up to its very abntptending) is an emotional onslaught (unfelt, of course, by a cold, cynical movie critic such as myself). Here the real uniqueness of the film shines through. We discover that true love exists, that this man loved this woman for who she was and not for her looks alone. Gazing into her eyes he reassures her that despite what the aging process may have done to her exterior she is still the same person he loved 29 years ago. Compared to the shallow emotions of films like Ghosr (a film that proves yuppies never really die) and m Woman (which teaches that being a hooker isn’t so bad after all), L.ute For Dinner possesses a genuineness that is commendable. Timeless love is not a new theme, but rarely is it dealt with in such an honest fashion.

It would be understandable if you were late for this dinner. After all, they’re serving broccoli here: it’s good for you but it doesn’t taste as god as fast food.

Poem”)

This Saturday, October 5, Fed HaI1 will be the sight of a performance by England’s The Wonder Stuff. The band has had a tumultuous rise to pop prominence since their 1988 debutalbum,7J?eEightLpgqpdGmove Machine. In fact, after a somewhat lack-lustre 1990, depending on what side of the fence you were on, it seemed that the demise of The Wonder Stuff was imminent. However, 1991 has thrice blessed The Wonder Stuff and their supporters with a slew of reIeases in the form of their third album,AJmer Loved Elvis, and its subsequent single releases, more related releases that link the band with collaborators Vie Reeves and The Spirit of the West, and a number of live shows across Ontario. The band comes to Waterloo via Toronto where they are playing two sold-out shows at the Opera House. The last time +e band came through Toronto was one’year ago when they played a one-off show at the nowdefunct Diamond Club. The show was by far one of the finest of the year as the band performed select highlights from their repertoire and played early versions of songs which would appear later on Never Loved EKs. This show quickly dispelled any of the rumours about the lack of creative vitality within the band. Apparently, the band were just going through some readjustments. The most interesting thing about the Diamond show was the crowd’s reaction to the abrasiveness of-Miles Hunt, the band’s singer. The same

A sample of song-titles from the past and present elicit such gems as “Astley in the Noose,““30 Years in the Bathroom,” and “Welcoine to the Cheap Seats.” Miles will be the first to admit that he has toned down his abrasive stage antics. He mentions that it got to a point where the band’s audience

The band warmed up the crowd to extremes by blistering molten through tracks from their debut God Fdder such as “Selfish,” “Grey Cell Green,” and “Happy.” About threequarters of the way through their set; Ned’s, from the crowd’s standpoint, peaked prematurely by playing an outstanding version of “Kill Your Television” followed by a super-sonic ‘Throwing Things.” The following songs, including “Terminally Groovy” and ‘What Gives My Son?,” really showcased Ned’s talent.

the stage, and the by force. As for of the crowd, before they even

entire grabN,ed’s took

I have never witnessed crowdsurfing prior to a band ever before. The predominately teenage crowd were there to lavish undue amounts of affection upon both bands regardless of how each respective band actually performed. It seemed that

The best thing about Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, other than their name, is their meaty double-bass sound. The -band is as close to the grunge Seattle SubPop sound as any British act has come. Only their rock-star posing keep them from the ear-splitting sonic rock’n’roll act which they showed strains of during their fide thrash cross-over tune and portrait of youth angst What Gives My Son?“. Mike Edwards either did not know about the power of Ned’s Atomic Dustbin or thought it would be a good idea to force the band to rise to the occasion of every show by having an excellent support group set the stage for them. For what ever reason, Jesus Jones had placed themselves in a tough situation coming into the Cgncert Hall after Ned’s had blown

the roof off. But as it turns out, Jesus Jones saw their show as a warm-up from the Skydome and they played to the stars. Taking the stage with a b-side called’Move Me,” Jesus Jones played a crafted set which featured the highlights from their two albums, Liquidizer and Doubt. Their set was very similar to the set which they played at the earlier RPM show - it seems that, over the summer, Jesus Jones have learned to play together as a band. Of course, this can be attributed to the fact that they are essentially playing the same songs every single night.

Praise be The set was short but featured all of the singles which the audience had come to hear. The band was jovial as they celebrated the keyboardist Martyn’s birthday. Martyn has livened up the Jones’ stage show by his Bez-like dancing which adds another dimension to their show. All in all, Jesus Jones played a good show under adverse conditions. What this band needs nbw more than ever is a break. On their first tour, they were honing all of the material for Doubt; however, this tour Mike Edwards has not had the luxury of writing, let alone honing any new rnateriaL It will be on the strength of that material which will decide if Jesus Jones grows again in popularity enough to play yet a larger venue in Toronto. All and alI, two great bands and a great hot and sweaty show even if Mike Edwards committed the fashion crime of wearing the same polka dot shirt that he wore at the RPM show. The horror, the horror.

Tutie Danielle like pigs after truffles. It’s .a French movie almost tailormade for American adaptation. And when Tinsel Town adds the American stars and the classic rock soundtrack and the half-dozen swear words, people who have seen the original will comment on how much better it was. But really, what’s the difference? Katie Dunielle is made as if director Etienne Chatiliez’ film idols were John Hughes and Lena Wertmuller. It’s lightweight, but it. galumphs. It doesn’t matter how funny you found the trailer; you may not crack a smile the whole two hours. Tatie Danielle (Tsilla Chelton) is a crotchety, crabby old widow who torments her affable live-in housekeeper (Neige Dolsky) to death. Literally. Feigning feebleness, Tatie cons her nephew Jean-Pierre (Eric Prat) into letting her move in with his family, where she slowly reveals her true nature. Her relatives are hardpressed to believe that she intends her remarks to sound so nasty, or that she would knowingly wreak such havoc. Eventually they can no longer stand it, and they leave her in the care of a stem-faced young woman while they vacation in Greece. Predictably, Tatie meets her match in this determined little guardian (Isabelle Nanty). We do begin to have flashes of feeling for the devilish, obviously lonely, old lady. But screenwriter Florence Quentin quickly smothers these sentiments. The last part of the movie is, thankfully, more entertaining than the first two-

thirds, if only because Tatie’s fortunes waver, and we don’t have to watch her trampling flowers, swallowing pastries, and @acing all the time. The film suggests that it is worse to be insipidly cheerful than to be cruel, manipulative, abusive, and murderous. When Jean-Pierre makes love to his wife, the soft-voiced, buxom beautician Catherine (Catherine Jacob), he calls her “bitch” and “whore.” His teenage son has a picture of Robert Redford over his bed and does secretive things in his room,with a male companion. At the beauty parlour, women go through tortuous treatment to meet artificial standards and at the rest home, a nurse imitates a spastic patient for the benefit of a doctor and nurse snuggling in the comer. We’re supposed to find Tatie normal by comparison. It doesn’t wash. At its core, the movie is meanspirited. Jean-Pierre and Catherine are made to look like patsies for putting up with Tatie, and there’s a particularly vile scene when Catherine is crying behind a green beauty mask, and we are encouraged to titter at her distress. Chatiliez obviously has no sympathy for the bourgeoisie, despite the fact he learned his craft in advertising. Making commercials may also be where he learned to aim for #he lowest common denominator; where he learned, for instance, to get yuks while Catherine’s sister-in-law

confesses her pregnancy by a&g back again and again to reaction shots of an eavesdropper. There’s black comedy and then there’s comedy’ that’s just an abyss. Static Danieile is one joke; the relentless attempts of a bitter woman to make everyone else miserable. Within this one joke, individual jokes are repeated ad nauseum. Whenever someone comes in to be nice to Tatie, you know shell hurl an insult the second they’re out the door. Perhaps the script was written for Tom Hanks’ Saturday N@t Live character, Mr. Short Term Memory. lf the filmmakers made any attempt to truly explore why Tatie is so vicious, or if the other characters were more like people and less like punching bags, the picture might actually find a niche, have some worth. Sure, the mirage of the sweet, blue-haired grandma needs debunking. But simply replacing it with its opposite is no service, either to the elderly or to the audience.

Interested in Upgrading Graceland conzputer system...

ELVIS TO VISIT UW CAMPUS??? z1

Captain Bob Parker, spokesman for PC FACTORY, campus provisioner of outstanding computer hardware, announced in a recent interview that ELVIS may make his first real life public appearance in more than 15 years right here on the campus of the University of Waterloo.

“That’s right”, Cpt. Parker said, “we’ve heard that Elvis wants to upgrade the computer systems at Graceland, and he says he’s going to make a personal visit to the GIANT COMPUTER FESTIVAL being held on campus next week so he can ‘spend some big bucks’. That’s right, that’s exactly what he said . . . he’s gonna ‘spend some big bucks’. And man, I believe it! The King’s got money coming out of his ears.” “That’s the GIANT COMPUTER I FESTIVAL”, Cpt. Parker repeated, “I don’t want you or any of the students out there to miss it. PC FACTORY is going to be in the CAMPUS CENTRE on Monday and Tuesday with a whole rift of computer equipment on display. There’ll be WHOPPIN

BIG DEALS

ON C’OMPUTERS. GIVE-AWAYS, WORLD PREMIERS, CLOWNS, BRASS BANDS, NAKED GIRLS JUMPING OUT OF CAKES, PLUS A FULL SIZE WORKING MODEL OF THE CN TOWER AND MUCH

There’ll be DEMONSTRATIONS,

The King in his heyday 20 years ago. A, recent photo (inset) shows he retains much of his sex appeal. Is the King on his way fo UW? Cpt. Parker thinks so, and he says he’s bringing a whole entourage of buddies to pick up some computers at the G/AND COMPUTER FEST next week in the CAMPUS CENTRE.

MUCH MORE!” “And, oh yea, don’t forget ELVIS. He’s going to be here and he’ll be bringitig the whole Memphis Mafia. You just wait, they’ll all be driving around campus in their Caddies honking their horns and throwing money around. Man, it’s gonna be great!” When asked if he might be exaggerating just a bit, Cpt. Parker just smiled and said “Well son, you just come on out and see for yourself.”
