THE UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO STUDENT NEWSPAPER

Our campus was granted a rare privilege on Thursday, October 17. A man came for a visit. I11 tell you straight away that right now he isn't very popular but this was not always so. Just a few brief years ago, he held

the highest office in our country. This man held more power in his hands than any of us can even aspire to. His name is Joe Clark and before you turn to the sports section, read just a *contmued page 3. little farther. to

Nutshell

Additionally, I feel more comfortabl generalizing about atheism since there aren many differing degrees of believing in the non-existence of something, whereas there are many different interpretations of religious texts which has led to multiple sects of believers within various religions.

In tie beginning.,. Becoming an atheist is not a simple thing because one has to reject a lot of what they have been brought up believing. If, for example, a parent told a child from early on that skunks could speak French and had magic powers, and the child never saw a skunk in her lifetime, odds are that she would believe this myth about the skunk. Furthermore, if all the child’s friends and their parents also believed this about skunks, the belief would be further reinforced. But once someone began doing research about

skunks,

they

would

quickly

discover

mention of magical or speech powers. If they went to look at a skunk in a zoo, they would realize that it is similar to many other animals and likely conclude that it is nothing more ‘than an animal. I concede that the skunk metaphor is simplistic, but it serves to illustrate the indoctrination process. As a child, I recall going to church pretty

If there are any positive attributes that religion has, it’s that it helps to explain things about the world, provides a framework through which you can interpret your state of existencecand makes it easier to accept death. A single religious story could be interpreted differently by two different minister (or Ayatollah, shaman,. . . the person teaching the religion) to apply to different situations. An individual’s fear of death, however, is what I believe religion plays upon to maintain sup porters. Death is the end of life as we empirically know it to be. The idea that it is just our physical body that dies and a “soul” goes on living is a wonderful belief to have, no matter how little evidence there exists to support it. Many believers would respond to this by asking what the point to Iife is, for an atheist, if there is indeed no afterlife. Well, I don’t think anyone knows what the meaning of life is, but

Chretie sense duty

Canadians need to get their pride back, Federal Liberal Leader Jean ChreQen told an audience gathered in Kitchener last Friday. Chretien, who was in Kitchener to celebparticipate in Oktoberfest rations, said he was proud to live in a culturally diverse country and that Canadian‘ pride has been compromised by the Mulroney govemment. The current constitutional crisis was created by a government that should have concentrated on improving the economy. “He

reopened a wound that is difficult to cure;” said Chretien. He also expressed dissatisfaction with the free trade agreement, noting that it was implemented without adequate safeguards and adding that Canadian industries could become more competitive if the government lowered the value of the dollar. Chretien explained to his audience that Canada is troubled and that his sense of duty led him to re-enter politics. He said he is aware of the hard work ahead of him, but feels confidence in the Liberals~ability to repair damage in&ted on the country by Mulroney’s inexperience.

A new dimension of symbolism by Heather A&n special to Imprint In this male-dominated world where it seems women have to struggle to gain any recognition, it is encouraging when some very women manage to beat the odds. Four women in particular, all graduates of Waterloo, are presently gaining recognition through their art. An exhjbition entitled “Mother / Daughter” opened last Thursday at East Campus Hall. This exhibition contains the impressive artwork of four talented women.

Cindy McMenemy, who also works with sculpting has created a very detailed collection promoting women. It is a piece which follows women through time using a number of sculpted clocks which are hung in a round clock-like formation. A lot of imagination has gone in to this work which is entitled “The Hours of Women.” . And

finally

Linda

Kathryrl Forler has taken her art to a new dimension of symbolism. Along with her freestanding sculptures, she has produced a unique type of artwork using what appear to be doors as her canvas. These wall reliefs are ceramic despite their wooden appearance and fit in with the theme of the home and mothers from every generation.

Liz l&age, who just graduated with her honours BA in fine arts in the spring, has done some very startling work using a tot of feminine imagery. There is an abundance of colour and life in all of her oil paintings, and have been described by fellow artist, Linda Carson, as “luminous dreamscapes.”

Carson,

whom I had the ‘pleasure of speaking, has combined painting and needlework and has produces the “Delta t Project.” This artwork also involves several pieces combined to make one collection, and also follows women through a time period ranging from 1663 to 1978. Linda has also done some beauml sculpted vessels. To fully appreciate this artwork, it has to be seen. You will have this opportunity until November 1 at East Gunpus Hall.

CMRENCETHOMAS' &TCfK..... /JUSTiKE

by Peter Brom How did you feel this morning waking up knowing that you’re attending the 22nd besi university in Canada? Are you feeling sad ot betrayed? Do you wish that you had an anatomically correct voodoo doll of your high school guidance counsellor to torture? Do you actually care? If you haven’t heard, a recent Maclean’s magazine survey ranked 46 universities in Canada and the University of Waterloo clocked in at number 22. Predictably, this resull has brought cries of foul from Uw’s administration, and rightly so. There are two quite good reasons to reject this survey as liffle more than bird-cage lining. First, its methods; and second, its very assumptions. At the University Senate meeting on Monday night, President Doug Wright described some of the methodological errors that may have caused a ranking so out of whack with our academic reputation nationally. For example, Maclean’s included co-op students on work terms and distanceeducation students in our full-time enrollment figures, meaning that all of the per-student measures were underestimated because of their large denominator. Since co-op students on work terms in Toronto or Ottawa are not taking courses, they have no need for professors for their four-month stint and shouldn’t be included in student / faculty ratio numbers. The survey contained a few curious categories: the acceptance rate, or percentage of applicants who get offers from the university (any program can arbitrarily be as exclusive as it wishes); the operating budge1 per student (spending more per student could indicate an inefficient bureaucracy, unless the money was spent on professors, in which case this would show up in student / faculty ratios); and residence spaces per student (the importance of on-campus housing will vary from the University of Toronto to Lakehead). But probably the most curious category is “Presidents’ ranking,” which makes Queen’s, number one in this respect, sound like a Loblaw’s no-name brand salad dressing. (“Shoppers, we have a special on President’s Choice Psych Major in aisle 6. Free with the purchase of this education comes big wgrds to impress people at parties.“) Seriously, though, how relevant is the opinion of 46 middle-aged senior administrators (even il one them is our very own Pres. Wright) to the choices that must be m+e by an 18-year-old grade 13 student? The second fault in this survey is the underlying assu-mption that comparing universities as a whole is firstly possible and secondly yields any useful data. There are XI many factors that make up the quality of a university and its suitability for any single person that to attempt to normalize these factors jeems to be a futile stab at analysis. To compare universities as a whole ignores differences between what programs these schools have to offer. And to use a comorison of just arts and sciences faculties to rank universities numerically is simply miseading. How can one talk about the University Df Waterloo without mentioning its Faculty of Engineering, with one-quarter of the undergraduate population? As a Senator at Monday night’s meeting Dbserved, the only valid way to compare Jniversities is on a program- by-program basis and to take into account individual differences between universities, like tie presence of coDperative &&cation or how the cost of living in sn urban setting can make .residence beds a ess important statistic. I’m starting to sound more and more like someone whose university was ranked 22nd and not in the top-ten. Ah well, someone’s aotta whine. --

* We’vegot trouble with a capital C As all of us going through interviews know, co-operative education is a gift from the tuition gods. The money we earn during our four months on the “outside” helps us carry the burden of psychotically high fees: yes, yes, they are still low compared to what we could pay, but, they are still high. Not only do we earn more money than we can count, we get valuable experience that commands respect and a decent wage upon graduation. Also, just * as alI the high school liaison pamphlets say, we can be proud of finishing a “rigorous program few can finish.” That ends the cheerleading section of this piece. Despite these benefits, though, we must also realize that co-op does have some problems. Now, 1 am not particularly bitter with the co-op system But I do feel that we will ’ never be able to improve it until we admit there are some definite problems. First off, lets all say a prayer for those suffering through their first work term. Perhaps, they are running a photocopier and practicing their Saturday Night Live copy-guy schtick. Those are the lucky ones. Others might get to endure the same kind of hell I had to during my first work term (my boss was an asshole and still owes me 200 bucks), True, before beginning co-op, students are warned first work terms are not all peaches and cream. Still, many are never quite prepared for what

they encounter. Assuming a student begins a work term and realizes he is invoIved in something compIetely “unkosher,” there is little they can do about it. After all, incomplete work terms are grounds for removal from co-op. Because the

co-op system would crumble if everyone waltzed out when not elated, some restrictions do seem sensible. However, as it stands now, students are often stuck like flies in melted taffy. Yet another problem is the traditional adviser-student intenriew part way through a work term. This chat is designed to make sure everything is going well. Advisers are wellmeaning people covering large territories (mine was someone I genuinely liked). However, this does not negate the fact that many students do not receive this visit until the term is well under way, at which point it is nearly impossible to do anything if the term is co-op hell. One thing I was not going to complain about were the people in Needles I-ML Oh , sure, they can be snotty and curt, but, they do do their job. Recently, though, I have heard horror stories from friends who had resume lost or rankings screwed up. It would be ridiculous to expect perfection from anyone. The problem is these people rarely apologize; it is as if it is the student’s fault for noticing the error, Surely, an apology (and perhaps a part co-op fee refund) would be in order. Despite these rantings, I want it known that I personally could not imagine myself in any other program. But, I do feel co-op labours under some significant problems that need attention. And, believe me, I could write another article on intetiews, ranking systems, and, work reports. For now, though, I will just present this for all those who think ceop is a heaven-sent bit o’ perfection.

funds for cultural cohesion and awareness would likely vaporize; yet, many East Indians (especially youth) continue to be lulled into a false sense of security. They seem content with-the status quo and many are too busy training for professional careers to understand that the very political framework which has allowed them to flourish is in danger of radical change. But the issue extends beyond the Reform Party; it goes into the very fabric of our culture. There is still a multitude of Indians who cling to traditional careers: engineering, accounting, and medicine. Very few, if any, venture into law, environmental management, or politics. What we as East Indians have to realize is that if we wish to make this our home (and most of us do), we have to start asserting ourselves politically to ensure we (like many other ethnic minorities) are not swept away in a new Anglo/France-centric nation. Engineers, doctors, and computer scientists can only go so far in representing our rights and interests in a pluralistic society. For example, the East Indian community is woefully represented in the legal profession in Canada. As we grow demographically, our needs and interests are going to change and wiIl have to be met and the current trend is simply not going to do that. We should stop worrying about our squash game or our wardrobe and start joining political parties and forming opinions. The instruments for change lie right in our backyard. Unfortunately, we tend either to ignore or misuse them. As you& we have an excellent command of English, most of us are citizens and of voting age, and we have full access (as we would not in South Africa or Fiji) to political mechanisms like parliamentary hearings, political parties, and members of parliament We even have our own ethnic group on campus. But, alas, even they decided to opt out of the process. At a recent Indian Students Association (INDSA) meeting, very few discussions cen-

East Indians .must act To the editor, The recent popularity of the Reform Party has brought to the forefront of Canadian coverage several issues: political medti bilingualism, Senate reform, immigration, and multiculturalism. Of these issues, the latter two have a direct affect on many racial/ cultural minorities. Unfortunately, many of these minorities have been invisible in any commentary on these issues. A conspicuous lack of activism is evident in East Indian youth. In the past, East Indians have generally avoided politics in Canada. The exceptions have been when conflicts at home have spilled out abroad (ie, the Air India bomb blast and tensions behveen Hindus and Sikhs). An examination of prior circumstances do a fair job in explaining the lack of involvement: problems with language, culture, legal barriers, and adjusting to a new environment may have hindered a desire to participate in the political process. These problems can no longer be associated with today’s youth. When I look around-the UW campus, there are many East Indians who speak fluent English and for the most part are very well fused into mainstream Canadian society. The disappointing situation is that many East Indians are unwilling to channel their intellectual assets into constructive political action. There has been virtually no orchestrated response to the racist tenets of the Reform Party. These policies (restrictive immigration, abolition of multicultural funding), should they be implemented, would have a pronounced affect on East Indians across Canada. Immigration by family and friends of current citizens would likely cease,

tred on politics, current events, or other socially relevant matters. A comment by a former INDSA executive summarized its ideology. When asked if the club was involved in anything political, he innocently answered: “We don’t get political; we just do social stuff and have fun. N “Social stuff and have fun” is understandable but it does have its time and place. An ethnic group which has a strong membership (as does INDSA) can set up information booths, promote political ideology concurrent with Indo-Canadian interests, and highlight India’s unique so&-political history. The difficulty is that few youths have even formed an intelligent, cultivated opinion on many of the issues facing Indo-Canadians and Canadians at large. Sadly, many East Indian youth are mistaken in the belief that hard work, a professional career, and assimilation will be a panacea to their goals and aspirations in a changing Canada. If we wish to make Canada our home, we have to start acting like this is our home. Otherwise, we will be left our of the decisions that are shaping Canada.

No silence To the editor, I am a radical feminist. I feel that there is a purpose to my radical position. Listen: My sex is being raped. My sex is trapped within their bodies. * My sex’s right to abort was almost, and people are stilI trying to take it away. My sex’s natural functions are considered taboo, or, in plainer language, gross. My sex cannot walk home at night with any sort of pretense of safety. My own personal sexual history may be brought into the courts as a means of defence - or prosecution. You have told me that I don’t need to be radical anymore because my work is done. I have equality and jobs and opportunities. ... Society has accepted the equality of male and female. Then why are women still being raped and beaten and harassed and discriminated against? Make no mistake - these are not women. These are my sisters. I will not, I cannot, silence my voice of radical feminism. Not until the exact moment that I have freedom and true equality.

And neither a&he advertisers, the people who allow the media to keep marketing their product: information. Within our mass capitalistic society, information is a tool of power, creating the political climate to maintain stability and profit margins.

On a recent airing of Geraldo, the question posed to the panel, a collection of Black Americans, was “must Blacks sell out to succeed?” Watching the show, I was interested to see what Gerald0 choose to include or exclude. On the show, one black woman insisted she was going to marry a white man. A former member of the Black Panthers insisted that for her to doso was a political act, since “no one can argue that we are living in a Eurocentric society.” Gerald0 called that too big a word and shot him down.

The media is as guilty as anyone in restricting the access of minorities to power. Umberto Eco takes the statement on media and ideology I opened with and takes it one step farther. “What makes the newspaper something to fear,“he says, “is not (or, at least, not only) the economic and political power thatruns it . . . . When someone everyday has to write as much news as his space allows, and it has to appear readable to an audience of diverse tastes, social class, education, throughout a country, the writer’s freedom is atready finished: the contents of the message will not depend on the author but on the technical and sociological characteristics of the medium.” Gerald0 included and excluded what he could, what worked within the context of his style of investigative television journalism, what sold. Is that the same thing as what’s relevant?

Ma Bell: no deposit,

noreturn

by Hugh Kerr My middle daughter, Rachel, is in firstyear at the Scarborough Campus at the University of Toronto. She started there in early September, after taking a year off to see parts of Mexico and Guatemala (a trip financed by her), then working until deciding what to do. She wants to help people in third world countries, and is taking a program in International Studies. She, moved into residence about three weeks ago, and a phone was installed about that time. On a Wednesday not long ago, she phoned to tell me that Bell was asking for a deposit of $300 from her. She is a first-time Bell client, and has no credit rating from them. She has the $300, having simultaneously held three part-time jobs during much of this recessionridden summer, but we agreed that this would be a poor investment for her. She had tried to reason with Bell after receiving the demand by post the previous Friday, but they were threatening to disconnect her phone on Friday (in two days). I agreed to act as security blanket by guaranteeing her credit, and she gave me the number of her local business office. Early (about 8:20 am) Thursday morning, I phoned our local business office. After getting the “all representatives are busy” message for at least five minutes, someone came on the line. They quickly informed me, politely but firmly, that I would have to call Rachel’s business office since it had her file. They said I could call collect, but calling directly ,was easier. The call to Rachel’s Bell business office was answered immediately. (“This is ----. How may I help you?“) Unfortunately, I did not write the name down; Ill use M. B., for Miss or Ma Bell. I explained the situation, and that I was willing to guarantee Rachel’s charges. M. B. said that she would get my file up on her computer, and then informed me that my file, was incomplete. “What is it that is incomplete?” “Your place of employment, and your work phone number, in case we wish to contact you in a huny.” (I’ve been at the University of Waterloo since 1967. My phone number there did change three years ago, but I could be reached through the main University switchboard.) “I could give you that information,” (Whether she had a phone which allowed her to see the number from which I was calling. like our secretaries do, I don’t know.) “I’m sorry, sir, I cannot get into your fiie from here. You11 have to call your local business office.”

“What are you at Bell trying to teach young Canadians about trust?” (Now, I realize that students and others move about - sometimes very quickly and that some of them leave bad bills behind. But unless they change their name every time that they do, E5ell’s computers ought to be able to prevent them from getting a phone at their new location, or later in the future. Everyone needs a phone, and we prefer a telephone listing in our own name. Bell requires permanent home addresses when students request new listikgs, along with their SIN number and their driver’s licence or other proof of ID. I’eople who owe Bell money are told that this could affect their credit rating in general with banks, etc. Bell did make a. little money last year. Remember, we’re talking here about a first-time subscriber who father is offering to guarantee her charges.) “Just a minute, sir.” r She put me on hold. I listened to music for about five minutes while attacking the pile of mail on my desk. Then the music stopped, but I kbpt attacking my mail for about another five minutes before deciding that she wasn’t coming back on the line. I phoned back and was greeted with a recorded message that the office was closed. It was now about 8:50 am. I don’t know whether she has a phone which would permit her to screen out only me in this way, while still taking other calls. ’ Thinking that perhaps I had misdialled, I carefully redialed. I got the same message. I phoned my business office.

Thinking.that perhapsI had misdialled,I care$ullyrediulled.

“Last time I called my business office it took me at least five minutes to get through, and I really do not have the time.” “I’m sorry, sir, there is nothing 1 can do.” “So if I do not call my business office to tell them my place of employment and work telephone number today, my daughter’s telephone will be disconnected tomorrow, even though I am telling you I am willing to _ guarantee her charges?” “That’s right, sir.” “Couldn’t I give you that information, and you contact the Kitchener office to update my file, at the same time noting in my daughter’s file that 1 am willing to guarantee her charges?” “No sir, I cannot do that.” “That is not a service you are willing to provide?” - “No sir.” “My daughter has just started university and will be at that address for at least four months. You will still take her phone out on Friday, unless my file is completed by me phoning back to my business office to complete my file?” “That’s right, sir.” ‘Who has the authority to disconnect her phone?” “I do, sir.”

The lady there (Mrs. McKeown) was very pleasant and listened to the above story with understanding about just why I was angry. She took my place of employment, my work phone number, and promised to call my daughter’s business office so that her phone would not be disconneded. I told her that I would be writing various people about this incident, because, although I had previously been not too concerned about whether Bell was successful in maintaining a monopoly, M. B. had convinced me that they needed competition. I would be writing to the CRTC (who determine whether Bell should have a monopoly or not). The insensitive and autocratic attitude which 1 had encountered was one cause for a change. Later that day, the situation was ironed out, and my daughter’s phone was not cut off on the Friday. But the incident really showed me that Bell’s monopoly has led to abuse of power. You can imagine how my daughter was received when she tried to.reason with Bell that $300 was excessive for a student to pay, before the first bill is even received (She was treated with the same cold, unwavering response that I was, without the “sir.“). Several of her female friends received the same letter asking for $300. My son, and my

daughter’s boyfriend, tell me they did not have to pay such a deposit. A female faculty member told me she and some other girls were constantly being asked to pay Bell when their bill reached a certain limit, when she was an undergraduate. Whether you need to pay such a deposit appears to depend on, when you apply for a phone, how much you estimate you will use the phone. A Bell form given to Rachel refers to deposits if the customer “will not ‘provide satisfactory credit information.” Only Bell decides what is “satisfactory.” Bell does not differentiate between those proven to be bad risks and those who are first-time users who will pay. It remains to be determined whether Bell has a sexist approach to who is required to pay a deposit. I will find out from my second-year class of 78 students (most of whom are male) how many of them are required to pay a deposit.

Bell uses the excuse of poor credit risks of some students (and others) to raise cheap capital. This is an abuse of power. It would cost Bell more to borrow that money from a bank or other sources that they are willing topay to Rachel in interest. Her money would be tied up for a year, she was told. (A form she brought home said “a minimum of six months.” Another student has since told me she was also told a year for return of such deposits.) This really is giving Bell relatively long-term, cheap use of Rachel’s money (at a time when she cannot afford it) without the opportunity of her retrieving her money when she shows that she will pay. This is another aspect of their abuse of power. The deadline for responding with $300 or someone else’s guarantee was very short. Rachel received the letter on Friday, September 20 (postmarked the previous day). It required a deposit by September 25 (one tieek after the date of the latter) with the threat that the service would be disconnected on September 27. Rachel called Bell between classes in her busy schedule, beginning on Monday, September 23. I don’t know how long she was on hold trying to get through. This short deadline is also an abuse of power. Until now, I felt Bell provided reasonable service and I was not very concerned about whether they had competition. My recent interaction with Bell, despite the gracious apologies later (by several phone calls, including another on September 30 by someone at least two levels above M. B. - Bell responds to the initials CRTC), has convinced me that Bell needs competition. Bell is abusive and autocratic. “She” may also be sexist!

Eating Disorder Awareness Week

Music in Vienna

“Be Good To YourBad!)’ by Kimberly crefxl chair, Wouten’s Issues Board

’

see the beauty

The week of October 28 to Novem hex 1 marks the annual North American recognition of “Eating Disorders Awareness Week,” a time to gain a better understanding of societal and other causes of eathg disorders. The media teaches us that there is an ideal of beauty. Anyone who deviates from this cultural ideal feels pressured to strive to look like the athletic, white, flawlesslySlim, complexioned model seen on the cover of this season’s magazines. When unable to achieve the ideal image, many women’become depressed and develop negative feelings toward themselv&. . Self-esteem is linked with one’s appearance. In North American society, 90 per cent of women dislike some aspect of their body. Approximately 50 per cent of women are on a diet. Between four and eieht Dercent of North American w&en&have an eating disorder. The goals of Eating Disorder Awareness Week are to encourage people to accept themselves, and to

in all individuals. There is not one beauty ideal. The Women’s Issues Board has chosen t? recognize EDAW as “Be Good to Your Bod” Week. We would like to emphasize alI the bodyfriendly things people can do for themseJves. No matter if we don’t look like the cover model (how many of us do?) we can all feel good about ourselves!

by Walter Wagnleithner Imprint staff Have Canadians tired of dealing with Quebec and possible separation? For those still interested in this somewhat exasperating debate, the economic, and political history, science departments banded together to present a discussion titled ‘What Quebec Really Wants.“ Professors Pierre Fortin from the University of Quebecat Montreal and the University of Western Ontario’s Bob Young were presenting papers Thursday, October 17, in the Hagey Hall Humanities Theatre to an attentive, if not eager, throng made up of, for the most part, a Canadian Studies class (ie. they had to go). Fort-in began the proceedings by explaining that he, as an economist, was presenting a political paper. Shortly, it became obvious this was not the best idea. He had three points: Quebec deserves its culture (pretty original), it could eventually survive economically, and it was not likely to remain in Canada cheerfully. Having set such a positive mood, he decided it was appropriate to ridicule Eric Lindros, Mordecai Richler, Pierre Trudeau, and anyone else seen as anti-Quebec. These potshots made it hard to take him seriously. Finally, he concluded by telling us again how Canada needs a psychoanalyst, not a new Constitu* tion Hoping

audience then gave their attention Bob Young.

After

starting

is this mike loud (“Testing, enough?“), he explained the problems inherent in the Federal government’s negotiating policy. The present one-track position was one of promises (“Youll get your culture”) and threats (“You’ll never survive on your own”). What Canada really needs, according to Young, is a twotrack position in which we continue begging for them to stay, while at the same time prepare for them to leave. This may work - may just establish a pattern of cooperation and communication. Or, it may give Quebec cause to feel as though -Canada were about to kick it out of nest. Young stressed the first possibility and ignored the second. On the whoIe, the evening and presentations were disappointing. Fortin was especially so as he supported native rights and then tip-toed around difficult questions concerning Northern Quebec Cree Indians and their land claims. He also seemed to trivialize language problems immigrants work under (suffer through?): “Oh yes, at first they did not like them, but now they tell us the language laws should be tougher.” Obviously, he has forgotten that some of the harshest bigots are new bigots. Young also seemed to skew his answers as he moved off topic.’ Neither man was willing to take any kind of stand. It would have been more entertaining had they walked up to the podium, rolled up their sleeves, and had a manly pro/antiseparatism arm wrestle. Then again, maybe I am just sick about hearing about Quebec and separatism.

GST reminder by David

Earlier this week at tutprint, we received a little notice in the news inbasket from the Minister of National Revenue and we couldn’t believe our eyes. Now, in a time of reduced government assistance to postsecondary students, some of you are not bothering to fill out forms to receive your GST rebate. Here is a golden opportunity that, according to the Minister, many of you are passingUP* So let me get this straight . . . the government wants to give you money and you’re not co-operating. The basic credit for everyone who is over 19, married, a parent or any combination of those three is $190 for an adult and $100 for each child. If you are over 19 they will probably

give you mbney. If you are under 19 but are either a parent or are married they will probably give you money. All this for filling out a form and mailing it away. The little reminder also says: ‘It’s not too late to apply for GST credit payments based on the 1984 tax return. To be eligible for the 1989 or 1990 CST credits, you have to file an income tax return and a completed GST credit application for each year.” Also, notify them if you move so they don’t give your cheque to your former landlord/lady. More information may be obtained at the nearest Revenue Canada, Taxation district office. Even if you don’t need the money, I can think of plenty of charities that do so go find your pen and make yourself some money.

special to Imprint The University of Waterloo’s music centred at Conrad department, Grebel College, is offering a fullcredit course set in Vienna, Austria in May and June, 1992. Next spring will mark the tenth offering of “Music and Culture in Vienna,” led by Dr. Wilbur Maust, music department chair. The fourweek course is open to 25 students from across Canada and representing a variety of fields of study. Some knowledge of music history, such as Music 100, together with a desire to learn and explore are the only prerequisites. As a participant in the 1990 seminar, I highly recommend it as a means of experiencing another culture and learning first-hand about music history. For many of the Classical and Romantic period composers, Vienna was the centre of their musical Iife. Each weekday morning. students meet with Maust for two hours to learn about Vienna’s history, art, architecture and of course music. Before aniving in Vienna, each prepares a report on a composer or a related topic and these are also presented during class time.

Henna is rich with musical history Afternoons are often left free for participants to explore the city on their own, and there are pIenty of sights to see. Spring in Vienna is a beautiful time and there are many parks and gardens in which to enjoy the warm weather. The accommodations are located in the heart of the city, only minutes from St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Hofburg palace, the State 0pera House, and a large outdoor market. After a few days, one feels quite comfortable using the efficient transit system to’ travel about. Some days include visits to other parts of the country. One such trip begins at Melk, the home of a huge Baroque abbey, then features a cruise down the Danube River to Duerenstein. A mountain climb then leads one to the ruins of a castle where Richard the Lion-Hearted was imprisoned. In addition to these planned excursions, one weekend is left free to travel to nearby Salzburg or Budapest or relax in the mountailIS.

Nearly every evening is spent enjoying a concert of some sort Because the course is held af the beginning of the Vienna Music Festival, musical opportunities are abundant at the city’s opera houses, Musikverein, and Konzert Haus, World-renowned musicians are featured in a variety of top-notch performances (which seminar participants often follow with amazing ice cream from Tichy’s!). Sundays provide the chance to hear choirs, including the Vienna Boys Choir, perform masses by famous composers in magnificent cathedrals. Those with an interest in Western music and the culture from which it grew are strongly encouraged to consider participating in this seminar. Vienna is rich with musical history and Dr. Maust is a knowledgeable guide to the city and it’s heritage. On Sunday, October 27 at 8 pm in the Conrad Grebel College Board Room, there will be an introductory meeting for students interested in attending this year’s course. Travef and accommodation plans will be discussed at this time. Please contact Dr. Maust at 885-0220 ext. 253 for more information.

Now, you may be asking yourself why we need to be further inundated with environmentalist propaganda, more “Green” slogans, another “Green” week, even one that claims to be “Not Another Green” Week” You may be thinking that enough has been said about the environment, that we have seen the light and things are beginning to change, we must only give it time. What with municipal recycling campaigns, with whole new companies being founded on the new doctrine of “environmentally friendly,” with universities devoting whole faculties to the academic pursuit of “environmental friendliness,” with Earth Days, and with Time magazine’s “planet of the year” edition, you would think it was about time to pat some environmentally friendly backs, kick back, and watch Mother Nature stroll down that road to recovery. We may find ourselves a Iittle confused. and asking what all the fuss has been about if, in truth, nothing substantial has really changed.

Is our healthworth our humanity? by Wakr Wagnleithner Imprintstaff . There were ushers collecting the free tickets, fancy crowd barriers, faculty dignitaries, and plants on stage. Obviously, Dr. Abbyan Lynch’s “Biotechnology and Bioethics: Collaboration or Combat” Lecture was going to be something special. Following in a long line of notables such as David Suzuki, Geoffrey Elton, Richard Leakey, and Margaret Atwood, Dr. Lynch’s presentation was the latest in the Hagey hcture Series held, appropriately enough, in the Hagey Hall Humanities Theatre. After the usual “Excuse me, Pardon me”shuffle, and, the theatre’s bottom level filled, the proceedings began. Before Lynch actually began her talk, the audience was treated to two introductory addresses and a list of her many accomplishments and degrees. With the pleasantries over, she took the stage. Looking elegant, and sounding like a wellwritten book, Lynch first explained what biotech is. Simply, technological ingenuity and biology are joined to form a new discipline. She moved on to show that there are both benefits and problems connected with this rapidly progressing field. On both sides, there rests scientists and laity involved in a tug-of-war. There are some major concerns with this technology: both agricultural and medical management are major issues. Lynch feels agricultural concerns can be alleviated if all

. involved collaborate to prevent misuse and abuse. Unfortunately, the medical concerns run far deeper. Even assuming there will be no tragic mistakes, do humans have the right to alter genetic structures ? Perhaps, in individual cases it may help, but, what about manipulating the sex cell? Does humanity really need, or want, the ability to create “perfect people”? Besides, what constitutes a “perfect” person? And, can we realistically even come close to achieving such things? For this, she had a solution. Informed public discussion and decision are the only way all those in the gene pool (everybody) can have meaningful input. She would accomplish this by initiating High School and University classes designed to increase awareness. While noble, it seems highly unlikely that everyone can be informed. And, even if they were, there will still be a large number who do not untirstand the ramifications of moving ahead with thjs technology. It seems the greatest question is, “How Much is Enough”? Will humanity ever reach a point where it has enough knowledge. Although our society may have more than it needs, it seems impossible to imagine a world where we believe mankind has nothing more to learn. It also seems unlikely that we can stop something which has moved so far ahead already. The scariest thing, though, is that we do not know what biotechnologists are capable of.

VGA SPECTACULAR

by PhiUip Chee

Humanity has constantly struggled to understand the paradox that arises when it thinks about its place in nature. Are human beings really free? Do we have a free will to choose our destinies, or are we trapped within a deterministic world, caught up in a fluctuating energy system? Does a chaotic sensibility, replete with Brahmins and Taoist pooh bears, afford us the clarity to understand ourselves? Reductionist nonsense to me. Our biological functions are determined by the laws of physics, but I recoil in fear when someone claims they can explain human society, its social relationships, its structure, and the variegated phenomena that is human nature, as mere sociobiology. It is a lewd debasement of human rationality to compare an Animal Kingdom with the historical monarchies of antiquity; human beings create feudal serfdoms, not nature. To suggest an analogy between the pyramid builders of the Nile to that of bees performing thei? tasks in a hive effaces from history the tyrannical misery that thousands of human beings endured under the despotic pharaohs. Ay, there’s the rub, you say. Am I not creating a false distinction between human nature and non-human nature? Am I not building a dualism that I am constantly trying to dismantle? Perhaps. But there is a method to my madness. We depend on plants, their fibres and fruits and seeds; animals, their meat and milk and eggs. That is our primary necessity. Yet human ingenuity (or disingenuity) has multiplied this harvest, through agriculture and centuries of selective breeding. It occurred over a lengthy period, lost in the obscurity of preliterate history: our weaning from natural necessity. Now we stand on the precipice we have constructed for ourselves, blindly believing that this weaning is complete (though, can it ever be?), dazzled by the glare from the synthetic beacons of industil society. Naively we believe our world to be complex. that is to say, technically rather than culturally. A solid critique of our environmental crisis, a crisis more sweeping than a narrow environmentalism can hope to dare, must deal with the fact that human society has been built upon domination by men of other men and women. That the domination of nature, to free humanity from necessity, a5 a byproduct of the former, cannot be understated. The march of civilization, far from carrying humanity on its shoulder, has left it behind. Are we the paragon of animals or a mere quintessence of dust?

Student Life SuWey to probeneeds by Teresa Kennedy

Imprintstaff

The Study Centre Ad HOC Committee met Monday to finalize plans for a student survey to take piace during the week of October 28 November 1. The committee will survey students to find out what students want in terms of a Student Centre and how much they are willing to pay for it. The seven-page survey will be distributed at information booths set up around campus and will be mailed to co-op students.

voteorjiie die cm2sequentm Federation of Students President John Leddy said the survey is long because the committee needs a clear understanding of what students want. The survey, he said, will allow

students answers

to provide thoughtful so a good decision can be

made,

Results of the survey will determine whether a student referendum will be held on the question of construction of a new student centre. If students indicate a desire for a new student centre, a two-phase referendum will be held at the end of November and the end of January Leddy says the referendum will be done in two phases to ensure that all co-op students have the opportunity to participate.

The survey is designed to test the results of focus groups which met earlier this month. The committee met with 13 focus groups of about eight people each to assess student on-campus needs. The focus groups represented a broad cross-section of student life including co-op, regular, disabled, graduate, part-time, and mature students.

While results of the focus groups did indicate a need for a new student centre, Leddy emphasized the importance of massive student participation in the -survey. Only- if a h@ percentage of the student population responds to the survey will the commiiiee have a clear in&cation of the .need for a new student centre.

First of all, unless the man is the best actor of all time, I believe that he is sincerely interested in what we as citizens have to say. All through the meeting he had a notepad in front of him and whenever someone made a point he thought deserved more consideration, he jotted it down. Maybe it’s just because he is a good politician, but I honestly believed he weighed every point carefully and when he was unclear on a certain point, he looked it up. All in all, it came through that this was not a finished, “take it or leave it” plan, but rather an outline that needs more work and a lot of help from the people it’s going to affect.

Add to this the fact that this man has gotten far more abuse than arty one man deserves, plus the fact that his party is in power with a different leader who is less popular than any other since they started taking polls. Let’s face it, this might not fly. And yet it has to. It has to work this time. Canadians make good peace-makers because we have the ability to compromise. We are in this union that we call Canada for the benefit of all. We are made stronger because of it and we are better people than this. We are some of the most fortunate people anywhere and we are tearing ourselves apart for no good reason. Yes, we have differences, but 1 duse to believe that we can no Ionger live under the same roof. Yes, I joke to my friends that Montcalm should have shipped all the French back to France, but that’s all it is - just ajokeand I’ll tell anyone who asks that I love my neighbours to the east and I don’t want them to leave, In a union such as ours, every member is made better by what every other member contributes and Canada would lose a big portion of what is good and right if any part left. But by the same token, 1X not allow myself to be forced to preserve the French culture for the French. I’ve got no problem with it being entrenched in the Constitution that the French culture is “distinct” but the onus is on each and every culture to ensure its own survival We have probIems but we’re strong and I know well pull through.

Council meeting by Dave T~O~WII Imprint staff The Federation of Students Student’s Council met last Sunday at Fed Hall to deal with, among other things, the upcoming Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) referendum, safety on campus, and a budget proposal. Approval of Vice-President, Operations and Finance Steve Millard’s budget proposal for the Waterloo Federation was supposed to be one of the major agenda items, but it was postponed until the next meeting after someone discovered that no budget had been allocated for the Human Rights Board. Another highlight of the meeting was the presence of two OFS staff. OFS Chairperson Laurie Kingston and Field Worker Nini Jones presented a short summary of the purposes, rationale, and accomplishments of the

and answer session followed. One of the primary concerns that Council Members seemed to have was that OFS was spending a large amount of their time on so-called non-student issues such as abortion and the recent Gulf War. In response, the Kingston and Jones said that they

spend- less than five percent of their he dealing with such issues, and that be rest of their time is devoted to “concrete educational issues-” Kingston also pointed out that the abortion and Gulf War issues were only dealt with by OFS because delegates from member schools had been directed by their students to do SO.

Federation President John Leddy reported that the Student Centre Committee’s sub-committees on Funding Needs, and Means were “almost finished” and would be generating their reports shortly. Concerning the recent report by Stuart Smith, entitled “Commission of inquiry on Canadian University Education,” Leddy commented that Smith’s ideas on future tuition policies fell along the same line as CNJSEA’s (Ontario University Student Funding Alliance).

Vice-President University Affairs Lisa Brice reported that the Safety Committee has established a few preliminary goals to make the campus a safer place. The Committee was set up after it was announced that the government would be granting money to universities to help them q-bsure the safety of women on campus.

One of the objectives of the Committee is to establish an on-campus self-defence course for women. Another is the desire to have one person or committee coordinate the actions of the various on-campus safety services (Student Security Service, Safety Van, and the Library Patrol).

Alternatively, an atheist likely would not look for some external cause to explain the crisis, but rather examine the event on the basis of what she or he knows and resolve it with reason and logic. To be an atheist, though, one doesn’t have to disbelieve everything that hasn’t been scientifically proven beyond a doubt. It is necessary to believe in a certain number of unproven assertions,

This is but one of many contradictions that atheists run into at a young age when they are first told that a god exists. The tale of a god is quite a wonderful and captivating one for young chiklren - it sucked me in. I ran into numerous doubts about this and made every effort to resolve them; I really wanted to believe in a god. I grew tired of looking for evidence.

Lying, killing and stealing

but most atheists try to keep these to a minimumAnother aspect of religion that is often touted as beneficial to society is that it instills a sense of morals and “decency” in society. I concede that, yes, religion does teach a number of useful morals and patterns of behavior but seriously doubt that an atheistic society would not also largely abide by most of those teachings. I cannot envision a modern society whereby every person has total freedom to act as they wish. If one had the freedom to kill others without punishment, then others would also have the freedom to kill you. I think most people would rather make Laws that helped society live in some sort of harmony. Children would probably be socialized at a young age toward many of the typical ethical or moral “do’s and don’ts” such as lying. killing, and stealing. Many of our current laws are influenced by religion but only recently are . being challenged and changed to reflect a changing society that is not dominated by religion. I wonder what kind of laws an atheistic society would develop and what would influence their development. Although there would be the absence of fundamental religious censorship groups, there would still be interest groups scattered across the ideological spectrum, Laws regulating the society, made with the absence of a religious filter would likely create fewer problems overall. Religion interferes not only with laws, but a

Nor should they be terrorized with stories about how they will be punished for their mistakes.

At that point in time, all I knew was that being preached at really annoyed me, and that I found it hilarious to think about all the people going to church each week believing in a superstition. I didn’t even hear of the word or concept of atheism until I came to university. It is unfortunate that children are not exposed to the possibility that a god may not exist earlier on and perhaps side-by-side with various religious beliefs. It would make an interesting psychological or sociological project to do this with a couple dozen children and see how many of them become theists and how many don’t. If it’s ever done, I’ll put my money on the vast majority of them becoming declared atheists by the time they get out of high school.

I hope thatthis piece of writing has helped open-minded readers in some fashion, be it to further your understanding of atheism or to challenge your existing views. And if you don’t really care what the hell you’ve just read, then you are an apatheist, something which I am quickly becoming as I tire of,repeating my rational for being an atheist.

Warrior hoopsters w-in first two games Pour on points against York and Ryerson Warrior

Waterloo sprinted out into an early lead, building the bulge to 14-8 at the five-minute mark, with Chris Moore chipping in half of those points. The l&ad fluctuated. between one and four points over the next seven minutes, until Clive Anderson went on a tear, scoring twelve points on four straight treys in a two-minute span, to carry York to a five-point lead, at 35-30.

Well, if exhibition games are a time For teams and their coaching staffs tc ask themselves questions, the 199132 basketball Warriors answered one question with an exclamation point: we can Score!

The rest of the half was tightly contested, with Waterloo making a late run at York. Led by Alex Urosevic,

who took the ball into the teeth of the York defense with strong baseline drives to the hoop, the Warriors chipped away at the lead. A lastsecond fastbreak lay-up by VanKoughnett, launched blindly with his back to the rim, put the Warriors up by a point at the intermission, 45-44.

Led by internationally-seasoned VanKoughnett and Alex Urosevic, who poured in 89 of the 202 points, the Warriors have established, according to assistant coach Tom Kieswetter, ‘that we can put the ball in the hoop.”

There was certainly the air of exhibition play to the first half. Both teams looked shaky and disorganized at times, and both had defensive lapses which led to easy points.

The Warriors opened their season at home on Friday night against the York Yeomen, prevailing 104-90. It was a scrappy affair which would have been a blowout if not for the heroics of Yeoman guard Clive Anderson, who poured in 32 points, most of them on 7-of-10 three-point shooting many of them launched from somewhere beyond the Waterloo city line.

Massive freshman centre Mark Hopkins, starting the second half in place of _Pat Telford, who slightly sprained his ankle in the first half, opened the scoring in the stanza with a rim-rattling two-handed follow dunk on a missed lay-up by Urosevic. The two teamed up again, with Hopkins dropping a lay-up in off a sweet Urosevic dish: 49-44 Warriors. A lapse in intensity then allowed York to run off six straight and regain the lead, 50-49 with 17:20 remaining.

After struggling to find someone

at times last season to take some of the

Hash to three minutes later. With York up 59-57, Mike “Bruise” Duarte ignited an 8-O Warrior run with two steals, an assist, a jump-shot, and a fast-break lay-up. This was a lead that would not be relinquished.

Of course, if you play with thatkind of intensity, you’re going to get your bumps and scrapes, and Duarte added a couple more to his body while crashing into the stands swatting a pass out of the air, and landing on his shoulder in the process. The key coaching move of the game was when Don McCrae went to a three-guard alignment to combat the quickness of the smalIer York players. With heady freshman point guard Jim Toole joining Duarte and Urosevic on the court, the Warriors went on a tear, outscoring the Yeomen 33-18 over an eight-minute stretch, to take their biggest lead of the game 103-83. A late York surge was moot as the final buzzer sounded with the Warriors up 104-90. Ten Warriors

solid play find reward on the scoresheet with eight, seven, and six, respectively. Rounding out the scoring were David Lynch, Pat Telford, and Mike Leitch with six, two, and one.

Waterloo’s dominated the stats sheet as well. They shot a scintillating 64 per cent (42-of-66) from the field, compared to 42 per cent (35-83) for York. The Warriors also used their height advantage to out-rebound the Yeomen 39-20, with Chris Moore

In what will, no doubt, become a familiar refrain this year, top scorers for the Warriors were Urosevic with 21, and VanKoughnett with 19.

Tomorrow, the 4-2 Warriors meet the 5-l Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks at Seagram Stadium for a share of second-place. If Waterloo wins by 10 points or more, we clinch second place.

In case you hadn’t heard, the Waterloo Warriors’ hopes for first place were dashed 48-19 Saturday by a Western Mustang team that simpIy had too firepower for a defensive squad that had led the nation in points allowed, giving up only 30 .points in their first five league games.

Along with its lead in that defensive category, Waterloo also lost their first top-ten ranking in LAN football history and a chance at a share of first

The field hockey Athenas clinched fifth-place in the OWIAA after a twowin roadtrip to Ottawa this past weekend to finish off league play with a 4-5-4 win-loss-tie record. Earlier losses left the Athenas ranked lower in the OWIAA standings than they had hoped. The team needed wins against both McGill and Carleton to obtain a favourable cross-over for the upcoming OWIAA finals. The long drive to the Nepean Sportsplex was draining but the team’s warm-up on Saturday afternoon before playing McGill was spirited and intense. Waterloo had been somewhat debilitated due to the loss of some key players to injury and illness, but they were willing to play hard.

A goal in the first half by veteran Annette Koehler put the Athenas into the lead, and their heads-up play and determination kept them there for a 1-O win over McGill.

Playoffsbegin in Toronto this weekend

Sunday morning, Waterloo faced Carleton in yet another must-win game. Some initial confusion resulted in an early goal by Carleton, but the team soon pulled together and went into the offense.

A goal by captain Janet MacPherson, followed by another by Koehler,

gave Waterloo a 2-l lead by half-time. Defensive play was good in the second half, but the Athenas had lost some of their continuity, Carleton continued to press hard into the final minutes, but they were unable to score. The weekend’s victories enabled the Waterloo team to finish in fifth place at the end of league play. This means the Athenas will meet the number-four Queen’s squad (7-3-3) in the first round of the eight-team OWIAA finals tournament on Friday, October 25 at 11 am at Lamport Stadium in Toronto. Other first-round match-ups include 12-0-l Toronto versus 3-7-3 Western, 11-2-O York against 4-5-4 Laurentian, and 7-5-l Guelph against 6-6-l McGill. The bronze-medal and gold-medal games will take place on Sunday. October 27 at 12 noon and 2 pm respectively. The Waterloo in the OWIAA are hoping for finish this year.

His shot blew past the Western backstop like a Ferrari blows past a Lada. The second half was all black a in, black for the simple ‘Stangs. Neil E e’s Everywhere’ Daniel back-heeled the ball (it’s a popular move!) onto the boot of Wilf Grassau. His shot whistled past. , . nobody a, . because their wasn’t a Westerner in sight! Three to zilch. And to throw salt on the wounds, Neil Daniel used his Arnold-like chest to redirect another of Pither’s headballs into the strings for his second tally of the day. Four to nil. Some believe Steve Binioris (exGreek National Team standout) was somehow in on that goal. In all, Columbia tern side, punch Warriors.

Just a boot away from first place.

Sunday’s match was a bitter confrontation between the number one and two standing teams in the South Division. The result was a scoreless draw under a veil of poor officiating. dirty tactics, and high tempers.

Laurier established their gaml style early, physical toughness tair~ ted with dirty antics. What thl Golden Hawks lacked in ski11 the: attempted to make up with cheap shots, late tackles, and 100~ tongues. To fan the flames, a spineless i referee was unable to establish order I atid the dirtiness progressed. Or several occasions, the ref passed of;; disciplinary action on blatant fouls I and the game got ugly. This wx i capped midway through the seconc 1 half when a near brawl broke oui t involving most of the players of both 1 sides. As far a play goes, Laurier per- * formed well but never posed a threai t to the Warrior defence. The Warriors for the most part controlled the play, and outclassed their opponents in the skill category. There was certainly no love lost between these two teams. The Warriors get another opportunity to bury the Hawks on Saturday, Oct. 26 at 1 pm when they clash at Bechtel Park in Waterloo. On Sunday, they travel to Western. The Warriors are threatening to take their first division tiitle in a coon’s age, and can wrap it up with a solid performance this weekend! Come out and support a winner!

season,

it took

18 games

play before the Warriors lost their first game of the season. This year, it tuok one. On Saturday, Oct. 19, our ice Warriors engaged on a voyage to Windsor to do battle in their first game of the OUAA hockey year. After 60 minutes of play, it was Windsor that came out as the victors, 6-3. The victory marked the their first win over Waterloo in Windsor in six years. A number of unfortunate circumstances contributed to the Waterloo loss and thus head-coach Don McKee places the result as “a learning loss.” One of the things that they learned was that they have to capitalize on their chances. In the first period, Waterloo had 13 shots on net and came up with one goal. Windsor had two shots, and also had one goal. Three of the reasons for only the single tally was the hot goaltender and his two best friends, the goalposts. Once the offence began to click in the second period by opening a 31 lead, it was the defence’s turn to falter.

L&e the game against Western in the Oktoberfest tourney, untimely penalties and less than adequate defensive play let their opponents back into the game. Unlike the Western game, where Waterloo fought the tide of momentum and came up with the win, Windsor went right on by a tie at three, and put in three more. (the last of which was an empty netter) to seal up the victory.

York Yeomen TONIGHT!

at Columbia IceJield 230 p.m. A lapse in the defence might have been predictable because Waterloo went to Windsor minus three of their starting defencemen. Brad Geard is out with a broken hand and won’t be back for a while. Jeff Ballantyne took ill and didn’t make the trip, and Steve Woods is serving a suspension. However, credit must be given where credit is due. Windsor did score on three of their four good scoring chances, and they did get spectacular goaltending. Waterloo did get their chances (including two break-aways for Cory Keenan), but “we could just not finish,” says McKee. If any good did come of this loss, it might be that Waterloo now realizes that they will have to work exceptionally harder this year to maintain the standard they set for themselves Also, this was only the first game of the season, and as usual with a young team, the longer they play, the more experienced they get, and with the talented bunch of players Waterloo has, the experience will show in victories.

“We haven’t been bearing down as much irr practice a week ago as we could have, and it showed in our Windsor competition,” McKee said. If how the players bore down this week points to how well they’ll play in their next game, then York will have a pretty intense team on their hands.

The Yeomen will be in Waterloo tonight for a match-up at the Columbia Icefields at 7:30 pm and will prove to be tough opponents for the Warriors. Last year, the Yeomen finished fourth in the eastern half of the province and show little signs of weakness this year.

A victory is important because the Warriors are at home for six in a row, a significant chunk of their 22”game schedule. “We’re at home for six in a row L’IW, and so we better ‘get six wins,” McKee said. The Warriors only get one day off after their game against York before they host the University of Toronto Varsity Blues on Sunday at 2:30 pm. Toronto finished one point higher than York in the East and will not be easing up on the Warriors to let them heal their wounds horn the York game. If McKee’s players pick up on his determination to win (and I expect they will), the York and TO games will prove to be exciting hard-fought games. As incentive to attend, Imprint sports will publish a picture of the most decorated fan(s).

Ca.mpus ,Recreation LIFE has arrived

at UW!

Campus Recreation has recently broadened its program in an effort to offer UW students (and staff) a holistic approach to living+ No, LIFE is not a new building, or exercise equipment, but it is a program that will help you lead a healthy and active lifestyle. Lifestyle Improvement and Fitness Education (LIFE) is a program initiated by Campus Ret to encompass all aspects of active living, not just physical activity. Similar programs are being adapted across the country after an initiative by the Ministry of Recreation and Tourism, geared toward promoting “Active Living.” Schools and businesses, as well as government are latching on to the “wellness” theme. Wellness models ab toward a “whole” person and incorporate six dimensions of health: spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, social, and vocational. There are a variety of programs that can enhance your level of “wellness”: weight control, smoking cessation, fitness enhancement, proper emotional growth, sleep patterns, nutrition awareness, just to name a few. Most of these programs are available through the university or in the local community (you just have to know where to look).

Campus Fkc offers a variety of instructional and recreational programs to increase physical activity. Counselling Services offers many seminars in stress management, relaxation, anxiety management, assertion training, plus a variety of other group or individual setices (Needles Hall 2080). Health and Safety is available for individual nutrition counselling (especially for eating disorders), lipid clinics, and information on any other health matters (call or stop by for more information). There are also a number of interest groups in the community: Whole L,ife Training, Meissner Natural Health Care, Shiatsu Therapists, the Allergy and Environmental Health Association, and the Vegetarian Association, as well as others. LIFE will attempt to fill in the gaps and offer seminars on various topics that students show an interest in. If you have an idea, let us know. Check out the bulletin board across from the Tote Desk in the PAC for continual updated information on LIFE. Next week (Oct. 28 - Nov. l), be sure to drop by the displays and discussions put on by the Women’s tssues Board+ Topics will include: eating disorders, nutrition, fitness, and body image. Most events take place between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm in the Campus Centre, Room 110 or 135. Check the posters and hprint’s

news section for details. For further information or suggestions about LIFE, see the information bulletin board across from the Tote Desk in the PAC or pop into the Future Department. Athletics seminars will be posted on the bulletin board. Keep your eyes open and come on out and get some LIE;E!

Report Men’s Ice Hockey

O-3, so it’s always fun to watch a team at the bottom try to knock off the top dogs. Although it’s also fun to watch tons of goals being scored too!

by Walt Neubrand Imprint sports It was a relatively quiet week in Men’s Ice Hockey due to Thanksgiving, although it did feature two undefeated teams facing off against each other: Banged vs. The Bruins. It didn’t turn out to be much of a game as Banged lived up to their name and lost 8-l to the Bruins. That win by the Bruins puts them, along with Greasy - The Final Chapter (don’t ask), as the only teams with a 3-O record. The Chewy Pickers, however, take their 2-O record as well as a q15 into this week and are looking to claim first place overall. John Pagola of Don’t Have a Sub, continues to lead the league in scoring with eight goals. Right behind him, out of nowhere, is Joel Box of Guys With Pits with seven goals. Joel scored, well, geez, I can’t remember how many last game, but a few anyways, and that was enough to land him our Player of the Week honour. He receives the latest New Kids on the Block CD plus a shotgun which we hope he will use wisely, (that is don’t use it on yourself after listening to it!).

sports

Once again, the men’s competitive basketball league is full, consisting of 60 teams - 8 in the A-league, 24 in the B-league, and 24 in the Cleague. As always, A-league is showing soee competitiveness, with many games being decided by a couple of points. In the B and C leagues, games vary quite often and as all leagues are halfway through the season, the standings are starting to become clear. Top teams to beat so far seem to be the Electic Hogsmen and the Fuzzy Monkees in the A-league; Drunken State U., The Men They Couldn’t Hang, The Hungry Heffers, and President’s Choice in the B-league; and Flaming Hoops, APV, IMPRINT INTREPID, and Seasoned C-Men in the C-league. With the exception of a number of defaults, the league is starting the second half with playoffs close by. It’s good B-ball all around! Remember, the playoff meeting for captains is on Nov. 6 at 4:45 pm in CC 110. .

After a l-4 Ioss to 15th place Stuttgarter Kickers, trainer Jupp Heynckes was ridden out of town on a rail. Even Weltmeister Deutschland have not been the all-powerful force that conquered the world last vear. A 1-O decision over England last’month has given confidence, but the Germans have a tough road to Sweden with tough qualifiers against Wales and Belgium in the next eight weeks. Happier for Munchners is that their citv, on October 8, hosted a IGnefit match for UNICEF, between the champions and an all-star Rest of the World’ team. With a greater number of south American and African players in Europe, only four players had to make a flight longer than four hours to reach Munich, giving the FIFA trainers Bobby Robson and Bora Milutinovic (the Yugoslavian vagabond / miracle worker / US Trainer) many options. The game was to feature a host of talent that starred in last year’s World Cup, including Sergio Goycochea and Oscar Ruggeri (Argentina); Rene Higuita and Carlos Valderrama (Columbia), Jorghino, Ricardo, and Mozer (Brazil); Ruud Gullit and Marco Van Basten {Holland); Chris Waddle (England); Tomas Skuhravy (CSFR); Kim Joo Sung (S. Korea); and Dragan Stofkovic (Yugoslavia).

German pressure continued and paid off six minutes later with midfielder Stefan Effanberg. benefitting from intelligent work from Matthaus and Andreas Thorn, left unmarked 14 metres out, putting Germany ahead to stay. Effenberg, the only player from FC Bayern was whistled every time he touched the ball, showing fan displeasure with the trials of a club that is -expected to win every game, but hasn’t. Of course, his goal was hailed but on his next run, the whistles returned. The final goal was a defender’s nightmare, as Ruggeri’accidentalIy knocked a shut from Thorn into the goal, in the 38th minute. The remaining minutes of the half showed intelligent play from GulIit, Stojkovic and Waddle producing pre: ssure, but without success.

Goycochea has rightly acquired the reputation as the world’s best stopper of penalty kicks and he confirmed it, denying striker Audi VoIler of what seemed a sure goal. For Klinsmann, it was his only highlight as a tackle in the 17th minute would send him off for the night in a stretcher.

The second half began with wholesale changes for FIFA, and the play for the most part was either in the midfield or with the Germans on the attack. Voller in particular showed his skill, testing Higuita several times. The 80th minute saw him turn Jorginho inside out and chip a shot that froze Higuita, but like Rummenigge in Spain, it hit the bar! It was apparent who the fan favorite was, as Voller was serenaded from the terraces! FIFA was no,t as organized or as aggressive in the second half, but speedy Chilean midfielder Zamorano provided good runs and hard shots that kept backup keeper Andreas Kopke awake.

The team also included players who star in club play, but whose national teams stand little chance of

The play was entertaining for the rest of the halfwith Gullit running the FIFA midfield like a quarterback sending Weah and Stojkovic for good chances. It wasn’t until the 27th minute when a Gullit through ball

Actually, when the band first took the stage, they sounded remarkably conventional. They bounded into some tunes from their new record Lulu (including the excellent single “Bachelorette”), and seemed to be testing out their new guitar-powered sound. They were tight, tuneful and sounded much like any otherUS indie band. Things really got going soon enough, though, when they responded to crowd requests for “The

Mansions on the hill Fatima Mansions

last Sunday the Fatima Mansions were in Toronto to support their debut album T/iva Dead Ponies. A string of garlic around my neck, a small revolver loaded with silver bullets in my pocket, and wineskin filled with holy water strapped to my hip, I entered the crypt known as the Rivoli, fully prepared for just about anything they had to offer. Everything that is

Now usually I condone the absence of pyrotechnics, but in this case I think pithy use of a (rented?) smoke machine might have enhanced the “Diablo” atmosphere intended. One thing I must admit,

Coughlan did have rather pronounced neck veins. The Fatima Mansions ended their very short set with their new(ish) self-proclaimed anthem “Blues for Ceausescu” which finally began to

Cole Talk by Christopher Imprint staff

Waters

Holly Cole has come along way from the smoky interiors of Toronto’s jazz clubs. Her trio, which in&ides David Piltch on string bass and Aaron Davis on piano, have proven to be an anomaly in the Canadian music scene as they are a group who rearrange and reinterpret other people’s songs in a manner which makes them new and unique; in fact, they find a way to make these songs their own. Holly Cole, herself, is an equal parts combination of Peggy Lee and Peg Bundy, or if you would prefer, she is a mutation of Sandra Bernhard and Sarah Vaughn. She is and she is not these estimations. She is theatrical, campy yet classically elegant at the same time, funny with a strong dramatic presence; she is singular in her artifice. She is a paradox who on stage can create a moment of musical beauty only to dispel it a mere moment later with a flippant remark. Such is the disparate musical style of the Holly Cole Trio.

The repETCUSSiOtlS SteIllmhg from the overwhelming success of Wother ‘s Milk, the Red Hot Chili Peppers last album, manifest themselves in several ways on the band’s latest project Blood Sugar Sex Magik. since Moth& Milk was an overwhebnirlg success, for the first time expectations ran high among fans, both new and old alike. Instead of ‘I expecting another noteworthy album for which the band is notorious, the masses wanted another album mined from that classic vein which yielded the paragon that Motherly Milk has become. Well expectations, like delusions, can lead to disappointment. If you were expecting another arrangement of Mother’s Milk, you will be sorely disappointed. Replay your copy, try and adapt to the inferior Mofhrr:s Milk-esque sounds of Extreme, or seek counselling, do anything but do not burden this new album with preconceived notions. For I posit that were Mother’s Milk never made, or was not received as the scintillating success that it was, this album would not be getting slagged off as badly as it is, and it is getting slagged off in a major way. I say this self-assuredly because were Mother’s Milk not made, the Peppers would not have had the production carte blanche that they were afforded. But that whole point is moot because Mother17 Milk was made, and it consequently gave the Peppers the leverage to create a sprawling unfocused album of epic proportions namely Blued Sugar Sex Ma@k. They were given a massive amount of slack which they gladly took up, gleefully put around their necks, and promptly hanged themselves. Blood Sugar Sev A4qik clocks in at TO-plus minutes. The advent of CD technology has given way to this potential$llrr abuse. In the not SOdistant past, artists were limited by the parameters of the reproductive album which made a duuble album necessary after 40 minutes, and with its higher price, and other negative features, such as the fact that only artrock bands like @LX, ELP, and the like used this format to release ludicrous concept albums that had little in corn-

Albert), there are times when Biz’s rap descends into “eeba abba ooba” - like indecipherability. There’s something winning about a performer who has no conscience or shame about making a fool of himself in public. Biz’s lumbering charm finally found a large audience with “Just a Friend” from his second album The Diabolical Biz Murk&

and a few

choice others fit the established formula. But these are only a few among the many which constitute the album’s 17 tracks . The archetypal funk elements of the Chili Peppers are present on this album and yet they are simplified in comparison to previous material. In some ways, the album is a throwback to the band’s second album Fre~~k~ swlqv; however, ultimately, B/Q& Sugar Sex A4agik is nothing like anything the band has recorded before. Proof enough of this fact is that the new album presents its listener with what was once thought impossible the Red Hot Chili Peppers performing ballads. These three songs are strong; although some (“Breaking the Girl”) work better than others (“Under the Bridge”)

Though essentially a terrible record, with off-key singing from Biz, he came across as just too likable a chump to be passed over. I Need,4 HNim4t is the third album from the Biz, and it sticks to the formula he has established on his first two LJ?s. Grooves which move at two speeds - slow and slower, a few good tracks, a few forgettable ones, and some which are too dumb to even give credit to. “Road Block” finds Biz Markie yelping bits of the Guess Who’s “American Worn&n” between bits of the normal simple-minded rap about romance gone wrong. Biz’s extralarge cranium is the subject of “Leggo My Eggo,” while Biz sings bits of “Lonely Soldier” throughout “Kung Fu.” He really seems to enjoy “singing” bits and pieces of pop classics Gilbert O’Sullivan’s “Alone Again (Naturally)” is done in a Biz style. “I Told You” reprises “Vapors” from Biz’s first album Goirl’ QJin dissing his doubters and nay-sayers. It’s done over one of the coolest, spaciest backing tracks I’ve heard in ages. What sounds like a Robert Plant sample is looped behind a huge and slow bass line, with a Twin Peaks-like saxophone fill thrown in. The best song on the album is “Buck Wild” the token social message song on the album, With a fuzzed-out guitar sample, it easily has the most propulsive groove, and mercifully, doesn’t come across as preachy or simple-minded. In a rap world where sports team association is a measure of legitimacy, Biz shuns the cliched Raiders, Bulls, and Giants geal in favour of a New York Islanders shirt. I doubt that a more apt scale of comparison exists to compare Biz to his peers.

Prove that you’re Serial K. and claim your prize! So perhaps it’s best to simply St&e that they play instrumental music, and then to list their instruments: banjo, harp, various keyboards, bass guitar, and percussion (actually, a futuristic machine called the “synthaxe drumitar,” invented by band-member Roy Wooten). Fleck’s banjo playing receives the most attention, and it’s true he plays the instrument in ways that belie all perceptions of its limitations. However, on vinyl and on stage, Fleck’s banjo rarely takes the spotlight; he is content to complement, and not outshine, his bandmates. Victor Wooten’s bass is both fluidly jazzy and outrageously funky, and Howard Levy’s keyboards range from classical to classic pop. As well, Levy’s harp playing is pure blues. Put it all together, and it’s a sound you simply cannot classify.

by Lance Manion Imprint staff If you missed the Flecktones’ wonderful afternoon gig at the Bombshelter last month, their current LP Flight qf the Cosrniln Hippo may serve as a poor substitute. In an age where it seems every new act is classifiable by genus and species, Bela Fleck and his Flecktones are something of an anomaly. The only real label that has a prayer of sticking to this group is “jazz,” and even that’s an iffy proposition.

On this, their second LP, the Flecktones run through a batch of Bela originals, plus some well-chosen covers: “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the Irish traditional “Star of the County Down,” and Paul McCartney’s “Michelle.” Hearing them deconstruct an insipid Beatles relic (with the added bonus of losing McCarney’s vapid lyrics) is mesmerizing, as are many of the original tunes (like the opener “Blu-Bop”). However, the Flecktones’ music may just be a little too rarefied for its own good, and the LP occasionally slips into tedium. In concert, their wondrous and wandering stage presence (they often stroll amidst the audience while playing) cornpensates for the music’s occasional lack of, well, propulsion. All in all, Flighr cjflhr Cwrr~icb Hippo is interesting for a short while, but eventually fades into comfortable background level. The stage, not the turntable, is this group’s ttuc home.

First of all, you just have to love an album with a title like that. How more pretentious can you get? The answer is none, none more pretentious. Fortunately this Chicago trio manage to make a pretty good go of it, making at least a bubble on the International Pop scene. The first single and the first song on the tape, ‘Valerie Loves Me,” was pretty much a CFNY staple over the summer, and rightly so. That track hasn’t begun to wear thin yet - it’s just enough pop to keep you interested. Sparse producing very little overdubbing or remixing, and a catchy pop tune, that’s what it’s all about. But the rest of the stuff. Give me a goddamn break. Four of the songs have women’s names in the title (one of them could have) and nine, I said, 9 out of the 14 songs is a love song with the word “you” scattered about in it. Holy writer’s block, buddy. I mean, the first couple of times maybe, the fourth time it’s wearing thin, and the ninth time you’ve worn it clean on to the other side. Other than that, there are some pretty catchy-yet-cliche teen-angst lines like “. . . every time I turn on the TV screen / I don’t see no one at all who looks like me.” AItogether now, AWWWW. The title track is a good example of what the whole album sounds like. Enough repetition to make it stick in your head, a guitar hook to keep it interesting and singable lyrics. Hooray! Formula writing lives!

a neuter effect, so the song, as sung by her, could well be the lonely lamen! of either a male or female lover. The central and best piece on the album is a moving rendition uf Tennyson’s “The Lady of Shalott.’ Following McKennitt’s desired imagery, this poem is the perennial visit: the visit of life, of death, of love and chance, of the inevitable and the undesired, of the unexpected, and the required. A long song (11 minutes), a great part of its meaning for McKennitt is in the opening lines of the last verse: “Who is this? And what is here?” She writes, ‘The visit - any visit - is a time of discovery; new places, new people, new ideas.” The majority of songs epitomize McKennitt’s conception of a visit as something “unbidden.” Save a couple, they simply leap into life, like emotions whose precedents are unrecalled, but whose presences are ultimate!y, eminently welcome. “Cymbeline,” based on lines about death from Shakespeare’s play of the same name, is one which does not; at the album’s end, it bids a musical farewell to the listener who has let her in. The visit, by its very nature, must always, though regrettably, come to an end.

(M. C.) Some aestheticians consider the quality to be an otherwise indescribable emotion released by the artist, through the art form, finally resting on and somehow stirring the auditor. Loreena McKennitt’s i%e Visit exemplifies that magic. For those unfamiliar with McKennitt’s style, her music is an interesting combination of the most ancient (ie. Celtic) traditions of the British Isles,

It’s funky, sexually orientated, and typical of Prince’s style. His latest release is entitled Diumond~ and lcparls but it’s not full of gems or any surprises - Typical would be a more accurate title. Diversity of sound is there, Ill give him that. Included on this tape is the sound of rap and some slower songs, it’s not all panting or funky. I just can’t get away from Prince’s slimy image which overshadows every project. To me he’s someone like Madonna - I like a couple of their songs but 1 hate their image. Prince is like that slimy guy at the bar that offers to buy you a drink and then tries to impress you with his gold chains. His image comes through in his music and he’s not subtle in either. Prince’s song-writing abilities cannot be ignored though, they have been consistently successful, both for himself and other artists. He can play over 20 instruments, which is once again impressive. I don’t dislike Prince for his music because it’s his own and he’s proved to be a diverse songwriter and singer.

Some of the songs on this tape don’t sound typical of Prince’s singing. I’d even venture to say that a few of the songs have some depth to them. In one called ‘Money don’t matter 2 night,” one thatI especially liked, he makes a politica statement about the Kuwait crisis and the poverty he sees in his country. But most of the songs deal with sex - getting it and wanting it - and that to me, is what makes Prince especially ’ slimy and this tape especially predictable. Maybe if he toned down a bit he’d be a little better, but then he wouldn’t be Prince, would he? He’d just be a disgusting, horny creep who put out an album of fantasies.

Their sixth album, Worldwide , is bland and wimpy. From beginning to end, the fey mebdies and lyrics float by on go&amer wings: pretty but insubstantial enough to be blown away by any sign&ant breeze. The album opens with “Old Friends” which borrows the intro chords from Madonna’s “Live to Tell.” The lyrics are bittersweet, cutting to the heart of friendships growing apa& Like the rest of the album, it suffers from production which is flat and lifeless. The album’s oddest track is ‘Twin Cities,” a paean of sorts to Minneapolis-St. Paul. I’ve never been to those twin cities, but if they’re anywhere near as quiet as the song, I hope I never do. It’s quite saddening to see Tracy Thorn and Ben Watt slip so deeply into the morass of AOR I’m going to throw this tape into the Grand River, and hope I never see it again. That way, I can remember EBTG for their former excellence.

It also contrasts his earlier work ‘“The Angels Are Voyeurs,” by suggesting an animalistic nature of voyeurism. Momus’ mode of communication is the muted vocal, and the breathy whisper. None since Leonard Cohen have evoked an air of intimacy so well “Marquis of Sadness” uses sophomoric female vocals to tel1 “they’ve announced the new writer in residence . . . and the cutest girls in the arts faculty / must read poetry in his presence,” setting pervy Momus up perfectly: “I11 get along quite nicely in this university / In my little office with it’s sofa . ..anditskey . . . theyll call on me at all hours for cheer and sympathy f bringing bad but intimate poetry.” Classic! This is the tale of Lolita in pop form (or perhaps the tale of those who teach it.) The song fades ** . . s. r.. amidst . ., the. .gentle contusion _. ,,_ _ ot , the r adoring girl repeatmg “Marquis ot

sadness . . .‘I and Momus’ goodnatured insistence of ‘bad, but intimate . . .“ No stranger to campus life, Momus got his English degree in ‘82, while part of The Happy Family. Their lack of success and his desire to pick up an A-level marked an exodus from the pop domain until his phenomenal solo debut in 85: Circus Maximus. which, with titles like “Lucky Like St. Sebastian,““Hotel Marquis De Sade,” and “The Gospel Of Sodom According To Lot” bore evidence of his penchant for historical and literary allusions. Such allusions abound throughout Momus’ entire ouvre Hippo being no exception, “Bluestocking” features a litany of literary references, name dropping and what have you. Cheeky Curie also mentions his own forthcoming tome of lyrics: Lusts Of A Moron. Oh, yes, a few reasons why he loves his girlfriend: “youie so well read / bluestockings - well spread!” Tsk. Such cheek. If you take violence against women seriously (what right-thinking Momus fun wouId? - ed.), ‘I Ate A Girl Right Up” will either offend you for being too graphic (intestines described as a yummy. . . plate of hot spaghetti,) or enchant you in its muted madness. Or perhaps you need a fresh look at relationships: check out the smash hit “Ventriloquists atid Dolls” or ‘The Painter and His Model.” Then again, maybe you should be told of the ‘Monkey for Sallie,” that plays with itself from “dawn to dusk, from dusk to the crack of dawn.” Or, if you’re inclined to dismiss Momus as a pervert, hell be glad to tell you why in “A lkti r)Tullmentary.” Hippopotamomus is nothing short of a triumph of literate pop; if there’s to be a Nobel Prize for pornography, Momus gets my vote. Crawl under the covers with the greatest poxnographer the world has ever known. “Pornography: just the stuff of every young girl’s dreams, just a young girl’s diary - rendered into photography - it’s just the body . . . are you scared of the body? Are you scared of me? Boo-booby doop.” Sleep tight.

The UW Drama season kicked off Tuesday night with the opening of Jack Heifner’s knities. This wellcrafted play has the distinction of being the longest Iunhbg offBroadway production and it’s performance in a University environment is both timely and apropos. tinilies is essentially a coming of age story of three young women. These three, Joanne, Mary and Kathy, are the upper echelon of their peer groups. Be it high school or university, these girls are always involved, are aIways popular, and thus evoke the well known image of the Heather immortal in the audience’s collective consciousness. The three characters are given liberal and adroit performances. Mary Moore, Karen Morton, and Kimwun Perehinec all found those significant aspects and facets which distinguish their character and develop their uniqueness as much as the predominant tendency of the audience would be to unite them for their character’s empty egotism. Whether it is the evolution of Mary’s liberal sentiments and attitudes, the methodical turned stoic Kathy, or Joanne who holds tight to her esprit de corps, these actresses all breathe Iife into the character shells which they were presented with. Heifner’s play, Joel Greenberg’s direction, and the acting of the three principles, can all be equated to equally matched, well-executed, and

Photo by Scott Deveber superbly fought Olympic boxing match. As ludicrous a metaphor as this sounds, and it is extremely ludicrous, it rings true. Like an OI-ympic which has three boxing match rounds, Vanities is a three-act play. Within the first two acts, just as in our exampie bxing match, the participants involved are all vying for position as they discover and project

their characters, as well as they feel each other out. It can be said thatin this case scenario, these first two encounters are merely informationgathering sessions for that ultimate encounter: the final round. With the end in site, the participants reach down into the depths of their abilities in order to conjure up that elusive something that will empower them with the coup de grace. So it is with this fantastical boxing match, so it is with Vhities. When you enter into the theatre, the drama is already afoot. There is continuous action from the moment you enter until the end of the performance. In an apt turn of drama, the costume changes are set on stage in an intentional exposure of the vanity that is enacted for the sake of duplicity. This dressing area is elevated from the main stage area where the action is set. We see the changing areas of the three with a voyeur’s eye intent on seeing what happens before the drama is unloosed. This production of Vanitks brings into question the notion of constructed realities. The notion that the environment which your daily interaction occurs within can merely be a buffer from full-blown reality. There is probably no better place to perform this play thsn in the hallowed halls of academia as there it finds not only an empathic audience but also an audience which can be effected by its statement. Not that Vmitks is didactic in any extent; for it to be didactic it would need an admission of guilt of the selfsame vapid vanity which is portrayed; rather, it’s message is significant enough for one to evaluate, as the university attempts to every year, the quality of one’s (student) life.

The art of conversatkm Talking

It Over

by Julian Barnes Alfred A. Knopf 275 pages, $24*00

by Derek Weiler Imprint staff 1. British novelist Julian Barnes appeared at Harbourfront’s Premier Dance Theatre last week (October 19th) as part of this year’s International Festival of Authors, He spoke of, and read a chapter from, his new novel Talkilzg Zt Owr. 2. Barnes has written six novels since 1980. He has gained much notoriety as a writer who questions the traditionaI parameters of the novel. For example, F/a&d Pawot (1984) seems less a novel than an informal critical biography of French novelist Gustave Flaubert, SZCI~~~I~at the Sun (1986) begins with World War Two and continues well into the

21st century, recounting existential dialogues between an insurance salesman and a God-like computer. 3. Barnes’ new novel is not as wildly experimental as some of his recent work. In fact, in both content ?nd structure, Talking It Over is probably the most conventional novel Barnes has produced in years. Both the subject matter and the format are so familiar that they verge on the cliched. 4. There are three central characters: (a) Stuart is a dry, dull banker; (b) Gillian is his pretty, sensible new wife; (c) Oliver is a campy Oscar Wilde wanna-be, and is also Stuart’s oldest friend. The action is infomed by one central crisis: on Stuart and Gillian’s wedding day, Oliver realizes that he is in love with Gillian; he must have her. And away we go.

5. Barnes’ narrative technique also dates back to the dawn of literature (well, at least back to William Faulkner). The characters take turns narrating the action, leaving the reader to ponder the resultant discrepancies in their stories. Talking It 0~er recalls recent novels like Martin Amis’ hopelessly confused SUC~~XS and Bret Easton Ellis’ inane The R&Y

of Attvucrion. Parenthesis. The basic materials Barnes uses for Talking Ir Over may be well-worked, but his execution is so masterful that he makes the love triangle *conflict, and the split narration, seem fresh and exciting. 6. The various narrative voices are simply flawless, and what the characters actually say isn’t nearly as important to .the story as the way Barnes juxtaposes differing versions of the same events. This was apparent at the Harbourfront reading: Barnes read a chapter in which Oliver, buying flowers for Gillian, bumps into Stuart, in this chapter, Barnes’ technique advances plot and character so subtly as to seem effortless. 7. Barnes’ characterization is no less than brilliant. At first, it seems that obtuse Stuart and pompous, selfcongratulatory Oliver are the important characters. Not only do their opposing viewpoints define much of the novel, but their personas develop and change believably as well. Oliver becomes more sympathetic even as Stuart gradually metamorphoses into a brute. Gillian, though, is the truly pivotal character. Underwritten at first, she seems more of a catalyst for the reactions of the two men in her life. However, she ultimately becomes the most important character, so that by novel’s end it is Gillian’s desperate gambit that provides the resolution.

8. Barnes expertly manipulates both the format and the content so that they play off of each other. In the early chapters, when the players seem to have their lives under control, Stuart, GiIlian, and Oliver politely take turns speaking. As the novel progresses and chaos enters these peoples’ lives, the neat arrangement disintegrates. People speak out of order; they become incoherent; minor characters (Gillian’s parents, Stuart’s ex-girlfriend, Oliver’s landlady) make cameo narrations. At the novel’s emotional turning point, Oliver and Stuart seem to be both try-

ast, ht Barnes is still Boundaries of the novel

ing to speak at once+

9. In the end, 72ikiqg It Uver is not so straightfoward and conventional as it at first seems. Suffice it to say that while Barnes may be using a familiar narrative technique, he pushes that technique to the limit. Early on in the novel, the reader will ask himself: ‘Who are these people talking to?” The answer becomes apparent eventually, and the issue that answer raises is at least as important to Barnea’ goals as is his commentary on love and marriage. He may not be

doing it as brazenly

as he has in the

pushing form.

10. In this respect, Edking Ir Ch ?r shares the attributes of Barnes’ be st work: a ten&on between accessibilii ty and readability that is associated wit h the “mainstream” novel, an d experiment&m and debunking (:,f tradition thst comes with pos tmodern “metafiction.” Like Ffuubeti ‘.

The double messages Capitol executives send Fink’s way just make him feel worse, and so he seeks out .the company of another author, played by John Mahoney. T’his once brilliant novelist is no help; he hates his job and divides his time Detween mistreating his lover (Judy Davis) and boozing. It seems the ;anest person around is Fink’s nextdoor neighbour, the jocular salesman Zharfie Meadows (John Goodman). Fink looks forward to Charlie’s visits, because he perceives in him a simple, untortured “Everyman” Barton Fink is genuinely funny. Ethanand Joel Coen no longer expect us to find loud, garish violence a source of endless amusement. Instead, the daffy, witty characterizations are what make us laugh. Turturro captures Fink’s confusion, idealism, and self-absorption; Goodman gives Charlie’s corn-ball cliche dialogue just enough of an edge to intrigue us. Michael Lerner has the best lines in the Coen siblings’ script - as the fast-talking, under-educated head of the studio, he praises writers in one breath, and speculates on their sexual proclivities in the next.

Eventually two gruff cops (Richard Portnow and Christopher Murney) make an appearance at the hotel, speaking in unflappable tandem like typical screen detectives.
