a treat for the UW community.

A small furor about the name of the Women’s Issues Board erupted at the Federation of Students’ annual general meeting this Tuesday in the campus centre great hall. ‘An amendment that would have changed the board’s name to the Genders issues Board was itself amended to remove this idea and instead add a gender relations commission within the board. The Federation also reported a net loss of $322,824 on $4,296,607 in expenditures for the fiscal year ending April 30, 1991, with bar sales revenue collapsing from $1.62 million to $1.45 million. “Women’s issues are men’s issues as welI,“said Shawn McLn’an, chair of the Human Rights Board. McLean sought tcl change the name of WIB to the Genders Issues Board to reflect the joint responsibility that women and men to achieve change in gender-related issues.

1989,14 women were shot dead by a man who hated them because they were women. Is this right? Is this normal? No. Mindless hatred; pure and simple. This act was enough to bring many more acts of vioIence which had previously been ignored to the forefront.

When debate began on the motion to amend the Federation by-laws to make the name change, VicePresident, University Affairs Lisa Brice moved to amend the motion so that the board’s name would remain Women’s Issues Board, but that a Gender Relations Commission would be added to the three existing commissions within the board. Brice and other proponents argued that such a name change would indicate a change in focus for the board.

“Adding the commission is a good interim step,” said Board of External Liaison chair Paul Done. “No one here would

Those attending the meeting voted to keep the name and add the fourth commission.

This act was enough to make more people aware of violence against women. This act was stupid. The Women’s Issue Committee is holding a special memorial service at Siegfried Hall in St. Jerome’s next Friday, Dec. 6. They shall not be forgotten.

Did vou know that the student identifiiation cards that the University of Waterloo issues to its students are not valid proof of age to be admitted to a licensed facility, even on campus? The Liquor Inspector for this region, Jim MacEachern, held a round-table discussion recentIy with the Standing Committee on AIcohol Use and Education during which he reminded the bar managers and other relevant persons of this fact. The minutes of the meeting state that “Student identification cards are not recognized by the LLA (Liquor License Act) as acceptable proof of age, MacEachern strongly advised that identification recognized (Ontario driver’s Iicence and photo; Canadian Canadian passport; citizenship card and photo; age of majority card; Canadian Armed Forces ID Card), in addition to student identification, be required. If UW accepts non-fecognized identification, as is its current practice, it is “sticking its neck out.” It was noted that “altered identification will always be a problem/concern.” One reason that student cards are needed for admittance is as a proof that they are members of the Federation of Students and have paid their Fed fees. This recent reminder was a result of extensive changes to the LLA last fall, of which partly affects on-campus pubs. Previous to September of 1990, entrance to university bars was limited to members of the university and their guests. However, if the university implements a policy more restrictive than the LLA, the latter can be overridden. Manager Larry Bombshelter Vaughn and Federation Hall Manager Chuck McMullen both stated that they will continue their current practices, although they cautioned that students should be prepared to present some sort of

Referendum by Terew Kennedy Imprint staff The decision about whether UW students will be called to the polls in January to vote on a new student life centre proposal now rests with the Federation of Students student council. OnMonday night (Nov. 25), thead hoc student iife task force, formed this fall to plumb student opinion on the subject, finalized a rough outline of a new proposal and voted to recommend that the Fed council authorize a referendum that, if approved sometime in December, would take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, January 28 and 29,1992. As per usual election procedure, students on work terms would receive information on thg options in a maiIout. The committee’s recommendation has three parts: a new student centre adjacent to the PAC and campus centre, new physical recreation space on the north campus, and a fund for student-directed projects.

The committee further concluded that administration must contribute a significant amount of dollars to the plans, and that students should be directly involved in determining the direction, and in managing the student coordinated plan. This proposal was based upon over 1,800 surveys completed and returned to the Sderation. The results indicate that almost 70 per cent of students on campus and offcampus co-op students are in favour of a new Student Centre, and over 75 per cent prefer the South Campus as a location for the new Student Centre. Students ranked their space priorities priorities in this order: social / recreational space, physical recreational space, service-s / amenities, and retail space. An ovenvhelming 89 per cent of the surveys support funding the new centre, at an average amount of $22.40per term. Of those students who agree with funding the centre, 45 per.cent would agree to start paying when the centre opens, while 36 per cent would rather start now with i ncreast)s Ia ter.

government-issued photo identification (that is recognized by the LIA). Vaughn stated that the Bombshelter doorstaff will still check university identification cards first, and possibly ask for a second piece of identification if the person looks underage. He said it makes more sense to check university ID first, because it is more recognizable to the doorstaff and therefore easier to identify ID cards that have been tampered with. While talking to Imprint, hc proved his point by producing a couple dozen ID cards that had been confiscated by Bombshelter staff. “We’re not implementing it,” Chuck McMullen concurred. He said that Federation Hall is unique in that it admits underage students, and that there are a “rekonable number of people who don’t have drivers Iicenses” or carry passports, military ID, or citizenship cards with them when they want’to p;o out to a nightclub. In the’case of Age of Majority cards, he added that this form of 1D is the most likely to be tampered with since the sole purpose of it is to prove that you are old enough to drink. He also produced dozens of phony or falsified ID cards. Asking for two pieces of ID “literally multiplies conflicts at the frorrt door SO-fold” and delays the rate at which people can be admitted to the facility, McMullen said. Fed Hall has one of the b@ systems to stop underage drinking and has never been cited for serving a minor, according to McMullen. Since it is their right to choose to accept student ID cards and doesn’t actually violate the LLA, Fed HalI “is willing to take the gamble.” Vaughn and McMullen acknowledged that although their current admittance procedures would not stand up in a court case, they both felt comfortable with the current system, given its troublefree history.

likely Surveys also indicated that 71 per cent of students support the idea of student-directed projects. Those who support this idea listed their priorities in the following order: improved safety, improved accessibility, improved lounge space, renovations to the campus centre, improved study space, and renovations to other student services. Those who support student directed projects also support student funding of these projects at an average

$6.10 per term.

The major student service areas that students would move from the campus centre to the new centre, in order of preference, are: campus shop, used book store, record store, games room, bank, graphix factov, Fed offices, Fed services. Other major student services that srudctnts WOUM :vant to move to the new centre are: disabled students, book store, and counselling. While 71 per cent of the shldents who responded to the survey want club space in the campus crntre, 57 per cent want clubs to have space in the new Student Centre.

recognizes two major water and energy conservation projects undertaken by residents. Last summer, the co-op installed water-saving devices in all taps, shower heads, and toilet tanks. Although the project cost a total of $17,000, Kulczycki projects the water fiow reduction will save the residence $20,000 annually. The co-op also spent $156,000 to retrofit light fixtures and switch to energy efficient compact fluorescent bulbs, for a projected annual savings of $30,000. Ontario Hydro contributed $80,000 to this project as part of an incentive plan, and Kulczycki says that all other funds used in these two projects came from the residence capital budget.

By the end of November we will have taken over 4,000 people home. Other bits of useless information about us: we drive about 200 kilometres a night or the distance to Toronto and back. Thursday nights are our busiest night, while Saturday is our slowest night. So far this semester we have put over 15,000 km on the van. The drivers try their best to get you close to home at night. But sometimes that is difficult if you live off the main route. So please don’t get mad at them for trying to do their best. If you have any questionsabout the Safety Van Service just ask one of the drivers: Darrell, Dave, Lisa, Calvin, Kevin (aka Norm), Peter J. or Jon. They will by happy to explain the route to you, the reason behind the or our favouritc priority cards, bribes. If you lose a glove, earmuffs, books or anything on the van we turn it into the Turnkey Desk. They help us out quite a bit in handing out priority cards and fielding questions on the service; for this we are thankfd.

by Michael ClifAon Imprint staff If you aren’t going away from Kitchener-Waterloo this Christmas, and you’ll be looking around locally for some seasonal entertainment, you might try Waterloo Park on the evenings of December 22,23, and 24. Local residents will be there performing Waterloo’s fourth annual live

nativity pageant. Each performance runs about 15 minutes, telling the story of Christ’s birth from the entry of Mary and Joseph into Bethlehem, and their search for a place to stay. This year’s artistic director Mark Staff, a local photographer and graphic artist, says that the crew will be working to improve the set design and decoration from previous years. They will

atso be looking into a remaking ot the audiotape that narrates the story (accompanied by carols sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir) in order to accommodate some revisions to the play’s original script. Each evening there .will be three performances, beginning at about 6:30 pm+ The Kitchener- Waterloo congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-dav Saints has volun-

teered to provide free hot chocolate for viewers of the pageant each night. Students interested in volunteering to be involved with the pageant, possibly playing a role, should contact Michael Clifton, casting and stage director, to find out if positions are still available. Messages can be left at the Imprint office.

Staffer Chapter

One

In the misty land of Definitoria it was discovered that the evil Dr. Atheist had found a way to destroy Christmas. Alone in his metaphysical laboratory, atop magic Mount Ivory, Atheist concocted a remedy for the joys and pleasures of Christmas that distorted the minds and hearts of the Befuddles and the Bemused, the blissful and ignorant people who lived in the valleys surrounding his lofty peak. A Christ, he said to himself, is a phantasm, a chimera. Without it, he decided, the blissful Befuddles would be freed from their lunatic attraction to the Christmas season full of good will and charity for other beings. Since Christmas is a celebration of this chimera’s birth, then if I show them it does not exist in reality, they will forget it all and praise me instead. Dr. Atheist donned his gay apparel, his gown and cap, his Oxford colours, and pennyloafers, and made his descent to the land of the silly Befuddles below. For days he preached to them: “On the first day of Christmas,” he began, “my true love gave to me . . . My true love, not some imaginary, fictitious, non-existent, fantasy of ii being you call Christ.” With energy and exuberance he trod on their beliefs, exhausted their feeble minds, insulted their traditions, their morals, their society; and he begged their ftirbearance, for he was their kind and gentle superior. However, the Befuddles were not persuaded. . This perturbed the grand designer of truth, whose experiments in his hidden and secret mountain place, where no other person could influence him by their false and inferior experiences and opinions, had shown him how obvious it was that he was right. He decided the Befuddles must be even more stupid people than he had before presumed. A new technique would be needed. Rather than appeal to intellects, which they obviously did not have, Dr. Atheist needed to appeal t.o their emotions, to the foundations of their values, in order to destroy the bases upon which their faith in the chimera Christ seemed to rest. Thus he resumed his preaching: “What is the value of human life?” he questioned them. “IS it worth preserving, is it worth creating? What is a child, but another mouth to feed? What is a family but undue obligations and theft, in fact, from your individual freedoms, your purpose, and your true, personal, absolutely private happiness?” By destroying familial affections and the sentimentality the Befuddles felt when they saw the birth of a child, or the child’s progress to moral adulthood in an atmosphere of love, Dr. Atheist thought he could absolutely destroy the foundations of their Christmas. Christmas, which celebrated birth, and therefore life - Christmas, which told the story of dedicated parents and charitable neighbours, of community sacrifice, and universal joy - this Christmas, he thought, he could finally destroy. With these arguments, Dr. Atheist struck at the core of Befuddle nature. Self-interest, a noble enterprise, seemed to them now to beat odds with the fundamental values of the family, This was something they had never before considered. They were largely continted. However, to Dr. Atheist’s surprise, his efforts did not entirely destroy Christmas. Was it possible that some other values, some other beliefs, were at the heart of this Christmas problem? He retired back to his lofty, paradisiacal hide-away, to contemplate :he strange diIemma. ’

Thomson to be gunned down? It’s always interesting to be sitting in class and have someone beside you recognize your name, and say “oh, you wouldn’t happen to be the Dave Thomson. who works for Imprint?” I am always curious, as most writers down here are, as to what the general campus thinks of their ramblings, reviews, or criticisms. Reactions have ranged from luke warm,“1 like some of your stuff but” conversations to having one individual show me clippings he had of some of my comment pieces. One recent evening, however, one staff member came down here and said “Dave, I feel obliged to warn you that when I was walking through the campus centre, l distinctly overheard someone say something about going down to the Imprint office a$ gunning down Dave Thomson.“’ Well, I feel our gun-control legislation would discount thatpossibility, but that sort of comment bothers me for different reasons. Firstly,, I have no idea why I have angered this person - sure, I wrote that atheism feature in October, but that was over a month ago and I haven’t written any opinion pieces since then (I’m trying to compress 12 weeks of schoolwork into about 20 days, like many Imprint wlunzeem.) Secondly, it is interesting that this person hasn’t bothered to come down to the office to talk to’me about it. What likely happened is that he simply had a knee-jerk reaction to something and like most such reactions probably has no reasonable argument to confront me with. But maybe he did. I’ll probably never know. -On more than one occasion, I’ve been confronted by friends about something that a different writer has penned, such as: “So who’s this Sandy Atwal character? What the hell did she mean when . . .” First, I tell them that Sandy is of the male gender and secondly I suggest that they go talk to him about what he’s

written.

has done this. Why are people scared of coming down here? We don’t have security guards ready to toss you out of the office if you raise your voice, As well, criticism is probably warranted. After all, nearly everyone on staff are undergraduate students like yourselves, and the only qualification we have is that we can

form sentences and paragraphs ill a somewhat coherent manner, and even that is occasionally disputable. The other thing that distinguishes Imprint staff from the rest of the student population is that many of us choose to devote more time to producing a paper every week than to our scholastic studies (it is more fun). Why a student newspaper on a campus of this size cannot attract more than 30 or 40 volunteers each term is a perennial mystery, but it would seem that people would rather whine and complain about the paper rather than come down here and attempt to mak& contributions to rectify whatever they feel is missing. Which brings me to the November 22 issue of The /ron Warrior, which is a newspaper for the Engineering students. Although I have many criticisms of 7%e iron Warrior, I won’t follow my own advice for the simple reason that I haven’t the first clue about engineering. As well, it hasn’t really bothered me until it’s recent “editorial” against Imprint Kevin and Chris (the editors): May I first suggest that you brush up on your knowledge of libel law - you might end up in court someday if you’re not more careful. Secondly, can you say “copyright violations”? Check out your front page. In your poorly thought-out comment piece about this organization, you urge students to withdraw their financial support from Imprint on the basis of what you have read in it and your conclusion that we don’t represent all students. Have you withdrawn your fees? If so, why do you still read it? Just so you can get pissed off at what we print every week? Or maybe, just maybe, there might be something of interest to you within these pages every week. You see, the rationale is this: for the enormous sum of money each student gives us, they in return receive information about what’s happening on this campus. At the current $4.10 a term, each student is paying a littIe nv~r a dollar per month to get a newspaper every week. Finally, we are not the “Fed’s paper” - we are an independent, autonomous corporation that continually encourages students to participate. Chris and Kevin: with your superb editorial skills, why don’t you come on down and enrich the paper’s content? Dave

To the editor,

In response to Sandy Atwal’s inane contribution to the animal rights issue, 1 .have a number of comments and questions. 1 will begin.with a question. why do you feel that morally and vegetarianism is “unfounded logically”? Morality must be defined by the individual. It is not your place to tell others that their beliefs are not morally sound. They may be contrary to your own beliefs, but that is of little interest to others where morality is concerned. As you say ‘To be a vegetarian is a personal decision. ” How can the decision not to kill be morally unfounded? You ramble on with a number of reasons why you feel that we “can’t” allow animals even the most basic right to live. You say that we must respect the rights of other humans because they can think and reason (though you later contmdict yourself by saying that animals “can probably think and feel pain”). Are you implying that we should be allowed to kill those without this ability, such as the severely mentally handicapped? I would argue that it is not the ability to think and reason that grants us the right to life. It is our desire to live that gives us this right, and there is no evidence that animals do not possess this desire. You suggest that animals have no rights because they have nothing “of value to respect.” It is the desire to live that is more valuable than anything monetarily beneficial as you imply. For example, you have nothing that 1value. Do 1have the right to kill you? NO. Your “what’s in it for me” attitude is bullshit. You say you “have nothing to lose by killing (animals) and a full stomach to gain by eating them”. The pleasure you can derive from the taste does not give you the right to kill. Using your argument, a sadist could easily justify the torture and mutilation of stray dogs and &ts because pleasure may be had. Even you say that dogs and dolphins have rights. Why is that? Does it have anything to do with the fact that they are cuter than cows and pigs?“Cows don’t have a world view with which they can deliberate the meaning of their bovine existence”. First of all, you haven’t got a clue what’s’going on inside a cow’s head. Secondly, an animal’s lack of philosophical thoughts hardly gives you the right to kill it. In your conclusion, you say that animal experimentation and factory farming are wrong (though you have no trouble supporting them). You’re not a cold-hearted bastard. You are just blindly following the traditions passed down to you without taking the time to think for yourself. If this were a cannibalistic society your letter would be defending your right to kill other humans and most peopIe would agree with you. Just because something has been going on for a number of years, or because a dollar can be made, doesn’t make it right. Child labour and slavery were once accepted traditions. Looking back, we can all agree thatt slavery is wrong, but would we have supported it if we were living in the southern US at the time? Sandy Atwal’s blind faith in tradition makes me believe that he would have. His letter then would have been entitled “Niggers have no rights”and my letter would (I have to believe) be saying the same thing 1am now. Fuck tradition. Well, fuck the food chain too. Jeff Wills English

To the editor, This is in response to Sand (sit:) Atwal’s article “Animals have no Rights”, dated NOV. 22, 1991. I feel that it would be in favour of all concerned if Mr. Atwal stopped spouting his bias and uneducated opinions all over the Imprint, be it in the column Paranoia, his album reviews or his recent article. In the latter, Mr. Atwal once again demonstrates his ignorance by such statements as “animals

don’t have anything of interest to let us give them freedom”, and “why should it matter if animals feel pab. 3”. 1 am amazed that at this poini in time, there are still people as narrowminded as” Mr: Atwal. Fact is, we have a lot to lose by kiIling animals, and people who care about anything but themselves know this. Since much of the North American meat still comes from South America, eating meat is directly related to the desbuction of the Tropical Rain Forest, and therefore also relates to increased global warming. 1 am not saying hat everybody should become a vegetarian because of that, but it is something to keep in mind, when dismissing the slaughter of animals as something inconsequential. The problem is that people with Mr. Atwal’s attitude don’t care about what happens to this planet as long as their precious peace is not affected. This is exactly the attitude that has caused our present environmental crisis. We simply cannot continue to pretend that humans are the only things that count on this earth. Animals (including the human species. . .), phnts, and yes, even rocks, are part of an intricate system, and just because they cannot tell us what their purpose is in our language.. , , doesn’t mean they don’t have one. People like Mr. Atwal will have to realize that their ignorance is remarkably similar lo the ignorance of 50’s, 60’s and 70’s which has led to both human and environmental disasters. Continuing along a close-minded path like this can only lead to self-destruction. Eva Boehrhger 28 Applied Chemistry

However, jf I were to apply @e afithor’s criteria consistently, &en severely ‘retarded people would abo qu&fy Ati food for us, as far as they can’t reasori or communicate any more than animals can. More importantly, they do meet Atwa+ most important requirement - “there’s nothing I have to lose by killing them and a full stomach to gain by eating them”, But that’s different, he would argue, they’re I-IUMAN! And here we reach the core of the argument - the superiority of human over animal. The nature of this superiority is in our intellectual (not sensory) capacities. How strange then, that we use the argument of animal intellectual inferiority to justify their physical suffering! Atwal’s next Catiments on Northern animal communities and cattle ranching in the rain forest are too childish and illinformed to merit much comment, other than to say that the author clearly has little knowledge on either topic. 1 would advise him to pick up a book on cattle ranching in Central America to determtie whether the connection between hamburgers and rainforest depletion is “even true or important”. In his final paragraph, the author wonders if perhaps he has given us the wrong impression of himself, Having argued for the continued slaughter of animals, Atwal asks us not to think of him as “a callous, cold-hearted bastar&’ because he doesn’t like the idea of animal experimentation, factory farming (!) and the video “Shock the Monkey” freaks him out. But before we have time to marvel at the depths of his sensitivity, Atwal quickly warns Ls of emotional excess. He pulls back from the brink of sentimentality upon realizing that his temporary “freak-out” is only an emotional reactkm. And it’s a good thing too!

Why, next thing you know, we’d all be 1 wallowing up to our eyeballs in those irrational, wimp‘+, ’ unmanly thir&s called feelings!. Better to maintain our cold, detached, scientific view of the world. After all, that’s what allows us to see animal as mechanical apfiaratus for ‘consumption, experimentation, or whatever. A callous, cold-hearted bastard? Of course, not! Joel CJmoy Environment

To the editor, 1 am writing to respond to the article by Sandy Atwal on animal rights. I found the logical basis for the two basic answers a tad fUZZY. It was stated that “cows don’t have a world view”, and that “there’s not enough to them upstairs”. I have met large numbers of people that fit this description very well. This is extreme, but the idea is valid. How intellegent does an animal have to be, before it is considered too smart for a foodstuff? Is a dog smart enough, how about a pig as it’s smarter. What about severely mentally retarded humans? Should they be fried in butter too? It was also stated that “If one party, for example the pig, can’t communicate what he wants and how he wants to be treated then there’s no reason why we shouldn’t fry him.” This must have been stated in jest. Are deaf and dumb people a viable dinner alternative? - I have to admit that I’m a vegatarian, but the reason is not that1think cows are likely to con-

To the editor, This letter is in response to Sandy Atwal’s article “Animals have no rights” (Imprint, Nov. 22/91) in which he claims that we should not attribute the concept of “rights” to animals. Let me start by saying that over the years I have read some well-researched, intelligent, and cleverly-written articles in the Forum section. This was definitely not oni of them. Atwal presents two arguments to show us why the most basic human rights do not apply to animals. Number one, people have the right to freedom; a right that the author respects because of people’s ability to think. Disregarding the fact that in the very next paragraph, the author concedes that animals can probably think, this is a strange criteria for rights in any case, He goes on to say that animals don’t illustrate the ability to make decisions. They can think, but they can’t make decisions? Ahhh, how illuminating.. _ However, cerebral capabilities are not the issue here. When we are discussing the production of animals for consumption, we are dealing not with thoughts, but with senses. Animals feel fear, deprivation, and pain when they spend most of their short, miserable lives in the grotesque conditions that are so typical =.-of modern farming. For you see, when Atwal ,sa$ that he doesn’t like the idea of factory farming, he evidently doesn’t realize that most of his meat and eggs are produced in the factory farm system. Yes, ignorance is bliss, indeed. The author’s second argument is that human morality depends upon an agreement between people to respect each others rights. Since “the pig can’t communicate what he wants and how he wants to be treated, then there’s no reason why we shouldn’t fry him”. So now, communication is a prerequisite for compassion. Has the author considered the possibility that we arenlt able to understand the animal’s attempts to communicate its distress? Really, how can the author allow himself to function within such narrow mental constraints? An animal’s capability to suffer is the clear reason why we must extend our sphere of compassion to all sentient beings. But Atwal asks; why should their pain matter? 1 don’t believe I can formulate a polite sentence in reply to such a question.

punishment. If her sex is trapped as she claims then consider that it might also be trapped in their own minds. There is an endless list of women, thus physically trapped, who nonetheltiss overcame that handicap to exercise the power of their minds and convictions. In deploring her loss of the right to abortion she should be aware that when rights are granted to one group it is always at the expense of another. By whom are her natural functions considered taboo? May I assume she means menstruation and menopause since I believe both sexes share the other common body functions. Is she referring to a boorish miniscule minority who take a perverse pleasure in dwelling on these subjects? And how does she propose to deal w& the problem? Will radical feminism better or worsen the situation? As to the matter of walking home (or anywhere ref. Nina Devilliers) I consider it deplorable that this should be so but unprbvoked attack is not confined to rape nor to women. With a predilection to violence in human nature no law nor police action can be expected to eradicate this type of crime. While the offenders may be caught and punished and while men may be exposed to education about these problems, it is too much to expect that they will completely disappear. This is probably why the police and other agencies attempt to educate women about their own ability to avoid such dangers. If a person’s sexual history is ab6ve reproach and conducted discreetly there should be little value of using it to either defend or prosecute offences against the law. Promiscuous behaviour and exaggerated sexuality may however be pertinent. Certainly rape and physical abuse of all types should be considered and punished severely. Tolerance of sexist attitudes and inappropriate sentencing should be enough to have a judge removed from the bench or prohibited from hearing such cases. But neither radical feminism nor legislation will remove this blight from humanity’s realm. Ten years, one hundred years, a millenium will still be showing this dark side of the human soul. There is more hope that harassment and discrimination can be reduced to insignificant levels by education and c&operative action by legislators and business people and we should work together to bring this about.

Advocates cont’d... tribute to our pool of knowledge, and it’s not because “Bessy” the cow saved my life when I was three years old. Eating meat, in the quantities North Americans enjoy, is not only bad for the global ecosystem, its bad for the body, and maybe for the guilt-o-meter. Moderation is probably the key, but I’m not an expert. Finally: Is political correctness really worse than politcal incorrectness? Lachlan Paterson Engineering

Katie, Katie, Katie To the editor, Regarding Katie Driscoll’s letter which I read in 711e lhontoStar of Nov. 7,1991, may I say that she and I view this world from quite different perspectives. I presume she is young and of the feminine gender. She displays the feistiness of youth and a lack of tolerance, which may not serve her well during her lifetime. I am old, of the opposite gender, have tempered a lot of my own feistiness and intolerance and have reached a perspective on life which has been formed by a lot of Iiving. I am sure she has a lot to contribute to ameliorating the conditions she complains of - but I hope she does not compromise the world of living and loving which is open to her. Nowhere in her letter does she mention rqen as the catalyst of her doleful litany but their complicity is clear in each of her indictments. In her less radical moments does she ever consider that the vast majority of men are not guilty of these transgressions and that most male youths grow out their immature conceptions and convictions. Let nie make some brief responses to her indictments. My comments are not meant to denigrate either Katie’s sex or her militancy. Rape, deplorable as it is, has always been with humankind. Consider King David and Bath-sheba, consider the rape of the Sabine women to realize how long this human brutality has been perpetrated and then consider if it can be eradicated by legislation or

WIB vs GIB To the editor, Why is it that while women’s issues are finally being recognized, an organization which addresses them has to be hidden under another name? “Gender” is a meaningless word. It fails to address the real issue, which is that women are the ones who are discrlhinated against,

women get raped and harassed. “Women” are the ones affected by the decisions of this Board, not some anonymous “gender”. Changing the name of the Women’s Issues Board onIy hides the fact that women are the main focus of its work. Pretending that this focus does not exist is not going to make us magicaliy equal with men. This is a classic example of sexist doublethink: women. are allowed things like this board to help us achieve parity, but only on the condition that we hide its real nature under some vague title, so male feelings won’t be hurt. .Well, male privilege is still a very real thing - even without neutering the Women’s Issues Board. If I understand Mr. ,MacLean correctly, women are now expected to help men become more “liberated”. I don’t see this as our job. It is the responsibility of the sexist to learn more. Mr. MacLean seems to be labouring under the delusion that women are already free, and at leisure to educate benighted males. We are far from free, and renaming the Women’s Issues Board will only set us back more. Sheena McGrath General Arts

. Tua Culpa again To the editor, It would seem that Fed Hal! is growing in popularity as a subject for discussion in your paper, As a sometimes patron of the place, I would like to express my own views. Firstly, in response to Emily Sutherland’s article about the food service at Fed, 1must say I have never myself eaten there. However, her experience strengthens a growing belief in my mind about the attitude of the whole place. I am not.,one to generalize often, but Fed Hall seems to believe it is not really a place for the SERVICE of its customers. Rather, the customers are there primarily as an irritation, next as a hindrance to their own enjoyment of the activities, and lastly as a direct source of income. Now this is obviously not the right order. Indeed, I think the first two perceptions should not even exist in a service establishment. As to the article by Stephen Taraniuk regarding the Door Staff, hear, hear. You and the rest of your crew are doing a fine job, Mr. Taraniuk, as MOST of Fed’s patrons will assure you. However, I do have a bit of a bone to pick with the security department, as I will shortly show. And as to the last seritence of that article, well, I hope theeditor and readers will agree that while “Fortunately, the proof of how the student population feels about Fed Hall is at Fed Hall”, unfortunately, the students themselves are suspiciously not. I would like to share with the public the experiences I had at Federation Hall on Thursday, November 14. As many are likely aware, that night was Math’s “Wild, Wild, ’ West Night”, which might of been more wild had more people attended. The 1A term was notably in absence. I enjoyed myself for the evening, yet was a bit put off by the setice. The bar service was irritating to say the least, and the security was angering. I am 18 years old. As such, upon entering Fed Hall I am required to sport a fashionable wristband and button. Al1 sarcasm aside, however, the exact purpose of these articles has recently been put in shadow. The following is an approximate transcript of a, urn, conversation between the Fed Hall staff and myself. Before reading it, be aware that I was tired at the time, having mixed dancing to AC/DC with rounds of robotic boxing. Thus I was likely not as clear in speech as 1 may portray myself to be. Also, I am still bothered by my encounter with this woman, so 1 may make her seem more antagonistic than she actually was. She: Urn, excuse me, where is your button? I: (patting my pockets and producing the button) Oh, sorry, here it is. She: What is it doing in your pocket? I: Well, 1 had to take off my, urn, overshirt? at the coat check and I took it off and put it in my pocket and I must have forgotten to put it back on. (Now pinning the button to my shirt) She: Well, you’re supposed to wear it at all times. I: I thought. . . Doesn’t the wristband da the same thing? {holding up my arm to show that the band is still in place) She: When you’re up at the bar, they can’t see your wrists. I: Well, I haven’t had anything to drink. (meaning alcohol) You can ask any of the bartenders. She: No, I won’t ask the bartenders. I’ll let you go this time.

Well, thank you, your honour. I thought to myself, jump back, Zac, you’ve been found guilty without being charged or given a trial. Just be thankful the sentence was also waived. Truly, the session served its purpose: there’s no way I’ll ever forget to wear my button again. But it could have been done in a much nicer fashion. You should aIso know two things. Firstly, there is no way I could pass for 19. Secondly, the accosting took place at about 1: 10 am. That’s right: the bar had closed. The button and wristband were now defunct. Their purpose had ceased. The possibility of my procuring drinks with my unbuttoned chest existed no longer. THIS, I thought to myself, is a DEAD BUTTON. I should, of course, have avoided the bar altogether over the course of the evening. $1.35 for some Coke in a cup of ice cubes should have been more than enough incentive to stay away. And when I tried to get it, the firstguy I spoke tQwaved me over to the one already busy serving drinks. Not that the first one had anything to do, more likely he didn’t think I would tip. Smart fellow, he was correct. Nevertheless, I have more respect for Fed Hall than to think that the ability to get a Coke was only present in one of the barmen. But the.thing that annoyed me the most was the comment about the bartender being uriable to see my wrist. Now it seems to me that if this is true, the wristband is utterly useless. But of course, it isn’t true. The wristband is for people just such as myself. I had come in to Fed wearing a T-shirt under a pullover. The first time I got a Coke from the bar, I still had the pullover on, with the button. The second Coke I bought while not wearing the pullover, but the wristband was in plain evidence on my wrist, Admittedly, the color of my skin is enough to give a photographer nightmares, but I thought that, nevertheless, the fluorescent yellow stood out rather well. So unless I was wearing a long-sleeved shirt (which I wasn’t), or had ripped the wristband off (which I hadn’t), I don’t see how. . . No, wait! Of course! I could have bent my khees sufficientl}r to hold my right forearm under the bar while getting ,my wallet from my front right pocket and producing the payment with my, left hand, while also disguising myself to appear as a 19 or 20 year old man so as to not arouse any suspicion. Give me a break. If I could have done that, I could have stolen a beer, My point, Mr. Editor, is that the people who work in this nice place seem to forget that, as part of the service industry, they have to earn my money. To do that, they must first maintain my willingness to giv; it to thttm. Rude accusations and too much ice will not do so for long. I will continue to bt> a patron of Fed, because 1 enjoy myself when I am there. But if our next set of encounters with Fed staff is of the same stuff as the last, I and others like me will take our business elsewhere. And if the staff members reading this say to themselves “Oh, what do I cartf what people think of how I do my job? I’m only going to be working herp temporarily anyway”, beware. You may btl surprised when &d’s popularity takes a’ fa Cal blow (which need not be strong), and your employers decide that you should be the first to go.

Stop the War On Drugs! by Douglas

PowelI

The Asskns preyed on the Christian Crusaders, the later of whom believed the former were wild on hashish before murdering But the Crusaders had mistaken religious fervor for physiological induction. Hash got a bad name back in Europe, which led to the drug fiend mythology. As Robinson puts it, “a ruthless and fearless monster, crazed with drugs, on the rampage, killing all and sundry with inhuman brutality.” But myths die hard. Popular is the notion that marijuana use leads to brain damage, based on studies of rhesus monkeys done by Dr. Robert Heath in the late 1970s. Those studies were subsequently reviewed by a

Today’s kids know that drugs are bad. From the classroom to pIastic deodorizers in public washrooms, the message is uniform in its simplicity. Drugs are bad. But do they know why? In Ontario, curriculum guidelines and the programs themselves focus on “living skills,” “developing a positive self-image,” and the requisite “respect for the laws and rules prohibiting drug use.” No doubt, these are important considerations, but what of the diverse biological interactions elicited by different compounds? Are students becoming equipped with the knowledge to discern cause and effect, a to identify biological damage, and to recognize addiction, whether the drug is nicotine, heroin or penicillin? This is particularly important in discussions of marijuana, a drug with both recreational and medicinal uses. Following a decade in which “Just Say No” has become the mantra for a generation, public policy must now consider what science - and history - has to offer. Marijuana is derived from Cannabis sativa, the first fibre plant domesticated for spinning, basket making and cloth production. Fibres from wild hemp varieties have probably been used since Neolithic times. And while the Chinese first recorded the effects of marijuana as early as 2800 BC, it wasn’t until the 11th century Christian Crusaders that marijuana became know to the Europeans in its more concentrated form, hashish. According to crop historian Raoul Robinson, formerly of Simon Fraser University and now a United Nations consultant based in Fergus, Unt., the name hashish is derived from Hasen-e-Sabbah, the Persian founder of a Muslim political and religious sect whose spiritual duty it was to kill their enemies. The killers were called Assasins, and thus the origin of that word.

Despite the myths, marijuana has been used for centuries as a folk medicine, and more recently as an effective treatment to relieve nausea in chemotherapy patients, to help AIDS patients gain weight, and to reduce the swelling in the eyes of glaucoma patients. In 1985, a synthetic form of THC in pill form trade-named Marinol was approved for medical use in the US. However physici-, manyof whom have lobbied for decades to permit the medical use of ma+ juana cigarettes, are divided regarding the benefits of oral THC versus smokable ma+ juana. In a recent study, drug policy

This is the basis of the “Just Say No” mentality. Except that delta-l,9 tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, is not physiologically addictive. Alcohol, caffeine, cocaine and heroin are. THC can elicit a psychological dependence, but so can an old lover. The logic that marijuana will always lead to a depraved crack addiction is like saying that kissing always leads to pregnancy. What toxicity there does appear to be associated with marijuana is related to smoking the cannabis leaves and flowers. Because anecdotal evidence suggests that THC must be heated to release its effects, many users choose to bake with marijuana instead.

researchers at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government polled American oncologists and found that nearly half of the respondents said they would prescribe smokable marijuana if it were legal. Many have already done so, despite the risk of prosecution. Educational programs are careful to include nicotine, alcohol and the nonprescription pharmaceuticals in their definitions. But the implicit message to children, through media and parental hypocrisy, is that legally-sanctioned stimulants and intoxicants are somehow okay. In common usage, the term drugs does not include caffeine, alcohol and prescription drugs (the latter only being fashionable after a week at the Betty Ford clitic and six weeks on the circuit Bogging the tell-all-expose-style book describing the depths of the addiction), Yet marijuana and various non-addictive hallucinogens are classified with cocaine and

heroin. Where are the pharmacologists demanding to set the record straight, railing against the relatively dangerous alcohol and the relatively safe marijuana, as documented in both scientific experiments and anecdotal evidence? Why the silence, a passive quiet similar to the red-scare of the 195Os? Drug re-legalization various drugs, including marijuana, opium and cocaine, were legal until the early twentieth century is one of those issues that unites the far left and the far right of the political spectrum; the former because of the infringement on personal rights, the latter because of cost. After waging battle as a colonel in the war on drugs under three U.S. administrations, former Secretary of State George Shultz has come out in favor of legalization. Several contributors to a computer-mediated discussion group for drugs end their messages with, “George Shultz for President.” _ Nevertheless, high on the action list of Toronto’s new mayor, June Rowlands, is a crackdown on drugs. It, like others before, will fail. Rampant drug abuse leads to crime and miserable living conditions for those on the boundaries. But simplistic preaching is not an answer. A parallel can be found in the problems of drug abuse and the soaring costs of our health-care system. Both must be confronted with a fundamental knowledge of biology, one that should be initiated in elementary and secondary school. Our kids, and the populace as a whole, do not need slogans; they need knowledge to make informed decisions. Only then will our society begin to confront the havoc of biological abuse.

Sta$responds to Iron Wambr allegations

Is Imprint of, ,by, and for Last week’s issue of the Iron Waniov (the biweekly Engineering student newspaper) devoted almost a full page Lo an editorial attack on the Imprint, penned by IW editor Chris DeBrusk. While DeBrusk ostensibly intended to raise some legitimate concerns about the Imprint, his piece was so rife with internal inconsistencies, founded on so many misleading assumptions, and so (dare we say) hypocritical that some sort of response is necessary.

Imprint was founded in 1979 by a group of UW students with an eye to establishing an official student paper. This aim was achieved following a student referendum which decided that LJW students would support the paper with a nominal fee each term, Imprint was therefore owned and controlled directly by the students, with no ties to the Federation of Students or to UW administration. It was decided that Imprint’s mandate would be twofold. First, it would provide a forum for the views of any and all students interested in contributing. Second, it would provide an opportunity for any interested students to gain newspaper experience. Imprint also incorporated and chose to supplement the student fees with ad revenue. Essentially, the only freebie Imprint gels is the room in the Campus Centre in which it is produced. Everything else - the salaries of the four paid full-time staffers, the printing costs, every piece of equipment used - is all paid for by the paper. Imprint has two sources of revenue: the student fees (about 30 per cent of total revenue) and advertising (the rest). From this revenue, it must pay for everything; unlike the Iw, Imprint receives no free services from any part of the University (save for the room in the CC).

tributions from these respective years amounted to approximately $73,000 per year. In other words, the Imprint is losing money and the profit they are showing is as a result of student contribution, rather than as a result of the paper’s good management.” Somehow, to most, it would seem logical to link the idea of a “Student Newspaper” with the idea of a “Student Fee.” When students pay a voluntary fee to an organization which has democratically been mandated to represent them, they have a right to hold that organization accountable for their actions. Without that connection, the idea of a paper representing the students is ludicrous. The students would have no right to submit

Imprint. Moreover, he implies that these interests and needs are better served by Irurl wat”Ffor. Frankly, that’s just not borne out by the facts. Recently, a press conference was held in Waterloo lo announce the distribution of NSERC grants, many of which went to the Engineering Faculty. Imprint actuaIly sent a reporter to the announcements, and gave it prominent coverage on the first page of the news section. On the other hand, a week after Imprint, /W reprinted a UW News Bureau press release, and buried it on page 10 (out of 16).

“The Irur~ Wurrior provides a forum for engineering views and as a result very few engineering students write for Imprint.” Debrusk. Does the existence of IW really have that much of an impact on the staffing of Imprint? Participation in IWU Wkrior is hardly overwhelming - the contribution list for the Nov. 22 issue of I W included ekven names three /W staff, five EngSoc exec., and three non-titled others. Debrusk goes on to refer to /MY as “their (engineers’) own paper,” either oblivious or wilfilly ignorant of the fact that Imprint is “their own paper” as well. Once again, Debrusk seems to be feeding into the kind of divisive, us-vs.-them mentality, which has long plagued the UW campus. Imprintprovides a forum for all students’ views - not just those of one given faculty. Sorry to say, Chris, but most people realize that student concerns tend to have many com-

DeBrusk quotes Imprint’s financial statements from 1988 and 1989. In each of these years, Imprint operated in the black, with revenues exceeding expenses. In 1988, the amount was about $29,000, and in 1989, it was about $45,000. Since Imprint is a nonshare corporation, this money is not given to anyone, least of all the staff, The money is put back into the corporation to improve our means of production, so that we can produce a better, and better-looking product. Somehow, Debrusk manages to interpret this as mismanagement, because the total amount of student contributions exceeds our operating surplus. I quote: I’. . . student con-

articles, to get involved and learn about the mechanics of publishing a paper, and to ensure that the paper fulfills it% mandate to them. Unfortunately, by “scratching off” his Imprint fee, Debrusk has forfeited much of his right to criticize the paper. He is no longer a member of the corporation, and consequently, our finances and management are none of his concern. It’s really a little like the perennial non-participant complaining about the state of the government.

Let us state this one more time: every student, regardless of facuIty (not to mention race, sex, age, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) who pays their Imprint fee is welcome to contribute to the paper. Imprint is responsible and accountable to all fee-paying students, These are not merely empty words, they are the defining principle of our organization. It is Imprint’s policy to publish reader’s surveys every year, and to, as much as possible, act upon readers’ comments and suggestions.

concerned the levying of a voluntary fee. The students democratically approved of that fee. Thus, the fee is on students{ fee statements. There are processes in place which IWand other society newsletters can pursue in order to have the same kind of levy put in place, if they so desire. If the case for an IW fee, or a general s&iety newsletter fee, is that pressing, then why not present it to Students’ Council, who could then debate the suitability of such a referendum? Of course, if you’re going to ask students for their money, you11 have to put financial and editorial accountability measures in place, in the same way as Imprint or student newspapers at other universities, That means no more illegally reproduced tit@ Fair covers.

In the last few paragraphs of his diatribe, Debrusk gets down to the brass tacks of what’s really eating him - “I question the justness of the Imprint fee on the fee statement without the inclusion of a similar fee for the other student publications here on campus.” It’s not really a quesion of “justness” (or justice); it’s more a question of democracy. As stated in the background section, part of the referendum question which was posed to the student body upon the genesis of Imprint

Iron Winriw's masthead reads “Views expressed in Iron Warrim, other than editorials (emphasis ours), are those of the authors and do not necessarily reffect the opinions of the editors or the Engineering Society.” From this, are we to infer that the editorial not only represents the views of IMPS editors, but also the Engineering Society? Apparently not. A quick call to the EngSoc offices confirmed that President Sean Murphy had nothing to do with the editorial, nor did it represent any kind of official EngSoc opinion.

Circled about with the images of his fertile darkness, the depths of true intellect, Dr. Atheist reviewed the problem of the people who lived below his mountain. What could it be @her than the family upon which the Christmas influence was b&ed? This problem nearly exhausted all of this energies, until at last a glimmer from the shadows told him. Until this time, his concern had been with the existence of Christ, one half of the Christmas equation. This had lead him to attack the simple Befuddles, whose reliance on their community and familial affections made the image of the Christ child most significant to them. This he had adequately dispelled; but among the Bemused, with their more rigid rule and tradition-based society, there still existed the practice of the “mass,” the other half of Christmas, in which they celebrated the mythical death of the myth, Christ. Renewed by this revelation from the corners of his laboratory, Dr. Atheist once again released himself from his Ivory mountaintop, and visited the city of the Bemused. Here he needed a special deception to gain the attention of the Bemused, whose eyes focussed only on the relics of their forbearers, and the systems of their culture. He pretended, therefore, to be one of them for a time, until he was given permission to speak, according to their laws. RighteousIy invading their traditional centres of discourse, Atheist began his new tirade against their principles of the mass: “What are the items of food you partake at fhis time? Bread, wine? What are these but materials of your own making? And do they change when you partake? Can they be given meaning by a being who never existed, a death which never took place? The falsehood of Christ is your own creation, and yet you worship it as if it made you!” His new and well-planned arguments of theology and philosophy were strong and convincing. At first the Bemused were outraged, but the wise. Atheist had used their r.?wn terms, and related thetrtrths he shared to

the errors of their ancestors. He. soon had some of them convinced. This success, however, put no end to the Christmas preparations. This was even more frustrating thought Dr. Atheist, than the confusion of the Befuddles. This time, though, he knew how to play hardball. Atheist’s next technique needed to be to strike at the fundamental values of the mass. Self-sacrifice, genuine charity, integrity, submission to legitimate authority, and other insidious principles needed to be done away i with.

He began, “Who do you live for? Can you live for others? That is a philosophical mistake; obviously you can only live your own life. To sacrifice yourself to any cause is contrary to your nature, to its fundamental laws.” As with the Befuddles, the appeal to selfinterest, added to the concept of intellectual error, thoroughly convinced the Bemused against their mass and all that it represented. Dr. Atheist had won

Epilogue Once the Befuddles and the Bemused were convinced of their errors, they rightly did away with all their previous conceptions upon which the Christmas lie had preyed, and which it represented: familial affection, community service and sacrifice, personal sacrifice for others’sakes, integrity, principled behaviour, universal love and consideration, expanded human potential, and all such principles were completely and quickly eliminated.

The reader may imagine the emptiness these reborn beings of intellect and accuracy must have sensed, because of their previous weakness in relying at all on what they thought were significant human qualities. This was the source of Dr. Atheist’s greatest victory. The changed Befuddles and Bemuseds now turned to him to be their moral and social guide; at least, they did until the day he died.

’Tolstoy: farmer and landowner by Paul Reichert

specialto Imprint There are many Tolstoys. Most of us are familiar with the author of that unread novel, War and F&m. But hardly anybody here remembers Tolstoy the moral and religious authority, whose words and deeds were reported worldwide in the headlines of 90 years ago. This is the Tolstoy who preached pacifism and vegetarianism, loathed Shakespeare, and brought the Doukhobours to Canada. It was in quest of this Tolstoy that members of the UW Student Slavic Society went on an excursion to Durham on a wintry Friday several weeks ago. After Tolstoy died, his estate, Yasnaya Polyana, was converted into a national park and museum devoted tu the man and his work. So when like-minded individuals near Durham discovered a mutual interest in Tolstoy’s ideas and ideals, it was only natural to establish a Canadian branch of the Tolstoy Society. This was begun last spring and the Tolstoy Society of Canada was officially inaugurated, with delegates from Yasnaya Polyana, just last September. Christopher Zakrzewski is the president of the Tolstoy Society of Canada. We met him at the headquarters of the society, located in an old farmhouse just outside Durham. Besides providing a home for the Tolstoy Society, the farmhouse is also

the head office of Ontarbio Farms and Sesmmuele, a distribution centre for organic hygienic products, whole grains and flours. Zakrzewski kindly devoted that day to explaining the aims of the Tolstoy Society and showing us how they could be carried out in practice on a tour around Ontarbio farms, the

affiliated farming ~0-0~. Procedures at Ontarbio Farms run directly counter to many of our more practices of high “advanced” mechanization, capitalization and standardization.

people at Ontarbio are well aware of facts like this and consequently much of their harvest is baked right on the premises, to be distributed in the form of bread and excellent muffins in natural food stores across Ontario. In this way they manage to escape the hegemony of multinationat food processors over the food we eat. The farm is also working to develop alternative livestock practices. Most farmers concentrate on raising single herds of the most productive cattle, poultry, and swine in fattening-factories, but Ontarbio Farms is raising non-standard breeds which cost less to buy and to raise. I was surprised to see wild boars running around, but I was truly struck by the native Canadian red cattle. Michael Schmidt, who looks after the farming end of things, explained that, although these cows produce less than half the milk of the favoured breeds, their input/output (so much feed to produce so much milk) ratio was far better. Heavy debt loads force most farmers to go for the highvolume cow, but, since they eschew mega-mortgaging, Ontarbio can rely on the homely but more economicaf Canadian breed and keep costs down. Maybe it’s hard to see how all this relates to Tolstoy, but in fact Tolstoy, a farmer and landowner himself, was keenly interested in agronomics and, as a landbwner, felt in a personal way the moral ambiguity in owning someone’s means of livelihood. If you look around and see the spectacle of the high-investment / debt / poverty cycle many Canadian farmers are trapped in, and then examine Ontarbio’s relative freedom from banks, farm supply corporations and the robber-baron habits of foodprocessing businesses, it is easier to see a relation to Tolstoy’s communitarian ethics. The three philsophical pillars of the Tolstoy Society centre around agriculture, art, and education. Tolstoy published a number of pedagogical works and ran a school for peasant Ichildren at Yasnaya Polayana. His idea of education might be summed up in his remark that “It is not we intellectuals who must teach the common people, but they who must teach us.” There is still a school at Yasnaya Poiyana, carrying on Tolstoy’s ideals of centring education on the child’s needs and interests, and in not smothering their native creativity. The Canadian branch is keenly interested in education, but cannot really do much as long as our govemment insists that we all suffer equally in the same public school system. Tolstoy held equally strong opinions on the subject of art. tt was his btllief that art should be able to unite people in their appreciation of art works. He would have probably been equally disgusted at the sight of present-day television trash and the elitism of the $50 theatre ticket. We spent the last part of the trip witnessing how Tolstoy’s ideal of Art for Everybody was carried out by the Saugeen Bach Choir, The choir is composed, judging by appearances, of people from all walks of life. We had the privilege of seeing them practice, painstakingly led by farmer Michael Schmidt, a trained conductor. They have been recorded by the CBC, and a tape, which we listened to at the farmhouse, is availabIe (get it!). They have performed all through Ontario and are planning a concert tour through Russia. I’m no judge of classical music, but they sounded professional to me (but check with Prof. Narveson), ful1 of feeling and as far as I could hear, right un the money. This must be the resuIts of the inspired coaching of Michael Schmidt. I’d like to go on, but this is all I could learn in one day. If you’d Iike to know more you can call the Tolstoy Society at (519) 369-6825.

to attract more women to science and engineering, the terms of the Canada Scholarships provide that 50 per cent of the first-year schoIarships are awarded to female students. The Canada Scholarships Program was announced by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney as a result of a recommendation made by Minister for

Science William Winegard and the National Advisory Board on Science and Technology. The program, valued at $80 million, is administered by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC).

Dr. Melanie Campbell - Optometry and Physics Departments. Dr. Campbell, who joined the University of Waterloo in 1984, is an associate professor in both the School of Optometry and the Department of Physics. She is also a member of the Guelph-Waterloo Program for Graduate Work in Physics, a collaborative effort involving the University of Guelph and uw. Over many years, Campbell’s research has centered on understanding the image formed by the optical components of the eye (the cornea and the crystalline lens) on the retina at the back of the eye.

Finding out the quality of the optical images to the retina is of prime importance to understanding how the retina and brain process visual information and how we see. The latest NSERC strategic grant will enable Campbell and her colleagues on the research team to use their knowledge of the optics of the eye to produce safe, higher resolution optical diagnostic instruments for investigation of the human eye, including the damage associated with common eye diseases such as glaucoma. Campbell received a PhD in ‘applied mathematics and physiology from the Australian National University’s Institute of Advanced Studies. Afterward, she was a postdoctoral fellow with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization of Australia. Later, she joined UW as an NSERC university research fellow. She has authored more than 25 book chapters and articles in professional j oumals. Her current research takes in chromatic and monochromatic optical image quality on the retina, and its effect on accommodative response and visual acuity. She is also studying the influence of the gradient of refractive index in the crystalline lens on image quality of the lens and eye, particularly during growth and accommodation. As well, she is focusing on the influence of optical quality of the eye on ophthalmic instrumentation. Campbell is currently a visiting professor at the University of Rochester’s Centre for Visual Science.

Enzymes for brewing and distilling Owen Ward, biology professor And former head of the School of Biological Sciences, Dublin City University in Ireland, joined UW in 1987 and is the holder of the Allelix/ NSERC industrial research chair in microbial biotechnology. He recently received major funding for a three-year pharmaceutical research project involving the production of proteins by human pharmaceutical micro-organisms. genetically engineered Funding of $540,000 is jointly sponsored by All&x Biopharmaceuticals Inc., the Natural Sciences and and Engineering Research Council and the provincial University Research Incentive Fund. A key aspect of modem biotechnology is the ability to produce protein products by genetic engineering. A number of commercial pharmaceutical products such as insulin, growth hormone, hepatitis vaccine, and TPA (used to dissolve clots that cause heart attacks} are produced using this technology. It is hoped that the results of the new research collaboration will lead to the development of processfor the production of new pharmaceuticals to be manufactured in Canada. Ward’s research, focused on fermentation and enzyme technolofi, has widespread applications in the food, chemical, pharmaceutical and environmental areas and has resulted in the commercialization of quite a few commercial processes. On the food and nutrition side, he has used enzymes to improve brewing and distilling processes and is currently investigating methods to use biotechnology to produce important polyunsaturated fatty acids, naturally present in fish oils which prevent cardiovascular and other diseases. He hopes to apply related techniques to improve the nutritional quality of food products.

The neo-liberalism of the 1990s has no regard for national boundaries, said Bakshy. In the “New Era of Global Competition,” the aim is to use the state as an instrument for expansion by pressuring nations to deregulate in such areas as labour laws, and weaken their internal standards so that economic activity by foreign companies can be unfettered. “Low-paying and temporary jobs will be the norm, and Canadians will compete for them. . . . The modem nation state will trumpet market power.” He pointed out that when a nation’s self-confidence is on the decline, as in Canada at the present time, that’s when American strategy is to talk about economic union and free trade. But, Bakshy predicted, Bush’s quest for the ‘THoly Grail” of world integration will entangle him in a great deal of resistance, hostility to the US, and regional conflict. The US has triumphed over Marxism-Leninism; its next enemy is nationalism, protectionism, ethnic@, and religion. Islam may be the strongest force in the world capable of fragmenting the American “order,” he said. Also featured for the evening’s lecture A. Edreis, principal of the Toronto Islamic School in Mississauga. He began by pondering the con-

tradiction that the most successful national revolution in history was the American, yet America’s global policy has been increasingly to intervene in the affairs of other nations everywhere on earth. se only post-war US presidents who have truly sought peace, Edreis says, have been Dwight Eisenhower and Jimmy Carter. All others have taken a very aggressive stance toward the world, from the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to the Cuban Missile Crisis, to Vietnam, Nicaragua, Panama, and the Persian Gulf. The Gulf War, Edreis pointed out, destroyed the Iraqi people and infrastructure but preserved Saddam Hussein in power. One strategy of the Western powers, he said, was to impose artificial nation states on the Arab world, which has led to division within the Muslim world between monarchies and republics. The monarchies tend to follow strict Islamic rituals, while the militant Muslims will follow anything, h_esaid. The result is that the Arab League has been broken. The representatives of the Palestinians at the recent peace talks in Madrid were artificially chQsen, he said, and the olive branches were an orchestrated media event. But what will happen to the world is totally in the hands of God, Edreis reminded his audience, made up almost entirely of Muslims, citing a verse from the Koran on the fate of strong nations, Bakshy elaborated further on the Muslim view of what world order should be. The key Islamic concepts, he said, are education, representation, worship, and justice. “The Muslim concept of justice is very critical of Bush’s values,” he said. “There can be no peace, Salaam, Islam, without justice.” Justice is based on the God-given knowledge thst enables us to know our proper place in the universe. Man is the created, and he must be submissive to the Creator. Man’s relationship to others and to his environment will be ruptured if we are not obedient to God. “Just look at the values which infest our educational system,” he said. Man out of ignorance disrupts the proper order of things. Islam aIlows force to be used to re-establish equilibrium that has been broken,

Bakshy explained, such as in Afghanistan, Kashmir, and Palestine. We should support these struggles for freedom. “0 ye who believe, be ye staunch in justice, witnesses for Allah,” he quoted from the Koran. Restotig God to His rightful place of supremacy in our affairs is what will restore order in the worId. The meeting opened with prayer and ended with the traditional peace greeting. Of the 65 persons in attendance only four (besides myself) were women. Afterward over juice and donuts supplied by the MSA, we had a lively discussion on subjects such as the veil, family planning, and schools. Two of the middle-aged women were wearing the proper Islamic head-covering which completely hides the hair and the throat. When I admired how nicely they wore it, a young student, an exceptionally beautiful girl with Arab features, became troubled and wistful and said she would like to start wearing it but fears she would suffer discrimination. “I started wearing it when I went on my pilgrimage to Mecca,” said one of the middle-aged women. “It is the commandment of God. Think of it as an investment in the Hereafter.” Another said she would like to wear it but her husband does not allow it. We talked a little about socioeconomic differences in Lebanon, where one of theni was from. The Muslims and the Christians are equal in this regard, “only the Shi’ites tend to be poor because they have too many children,” she laughed. They explained that under Islamic law you are allowed to take measures to space out your children, but you aren’t allowed to do anything* that permanently changes you body, such as sterilization or plastic surgery. “This is the body our Creator gave us,” they explained. We talked about the fact that children do not get any religious training in school. “They should teach religion in school,” said the Lebanese lady. “They should teach Islam, they should teach Christianity, they should have all religions in school.‘:

Warriors extend winning streak to six by CD Co&s imprint sports

The Warriors made a trip to Kingston last weekend to play against two celIar dwellers, Queen’s and RMC. Our boys marched back home with with two victories under their belts, beating their opponents 5-l and 8-l respectively. The Warriors went into their rival rinks with a must-win mentality, realizing that they were playing two teams with only two wins between them. A loss, or even any extended amount of poor play, would not sit well with head coach Don McKee, and would not help the mentality of the team. Fortunately, the Warriors put in two solid efforts, and did not disappoint McKee, or themselves. First up was Queen’s on Saturday. The Gaels’s struck first, five minutes in but that’s it, that’s all. It was all Warriors from then on, starting with Steve Woods, followed by Dave Lorentz, short-handed no doubt. Jeff Ballantyne and Greg Allen scored in the second, and John Williams capped the Warriors scoring in the third. James Organ played the entire game, stopping the 27 shots that came after the first, The penalty killing units also had a great game by not letting Queen’s score in any of their six opportunities plus Lorentz’s short-

handed tally to add insult to hjq. The players enjoyed the hospitality of the Kingstonites that night, and awoke the next morning looking forward to some army bashing. This time, the Warriors felt less generous and scored first. Mike Orzel was the first to inflict damage on the enemy with a direct hit in the back of their net. RMC never recovered from that early blow, and the Warriors continued their offensive in the second period with early tallies by Williams and Steve Richard, and Iater Cory Keenan and rookie sensation TroyStephens. Guns were ablazin’ in the

Coach McKee partly credits the winning-streak to how all of the players are performing their jobs. “It’s a 22-man team out there,” said McKee, and as more of the less prdlific players continue their improvements, the team will continue to improve their depth and thus, their general play. Other improvements that coach McKee hopes to find, are in the areas of finishing checks, winning face-offs, the transition game, and goaltending. And after three good practices this week, McKee believes that the improvement is there, especially in

The only RMC offensive that broke our final defence Steve Udvari, came in the third while one of our Warriors went AWOL for less than two minutes. These wins, paired with a Laurier loss to Western and tie with Queen’s, places Waterloo in top spot in the OUAA West division with a win-loss record of 8-2 and second onIy to the eastern division leaders UQTR, in the OUAA.

travelled to Montreal for the Loncordia tournament. In their first match, the Athenas faced off against Laurentian, last year’s national champions. Unfortunately, the acclaimed status of the opposition did much to intimidate the less experienced UW squad, and they lost 62-26. Waterloo fared better in the second match against the host squad, Concordia. At the half, UW was ahead 27-18, and thanks to a strong performance, Waterloo took the game, squeaking past 49-48. Top scorers were Leah Ann Erickson and Brenda Kraemer, with 13 and 10 points respectively. In the third and final match of the tournament, Water’100 met Queen’s, who led the game halftime by a score of 32-24. Queen’s maintained their lead for the rest of the match, winning by 58-4 1. Top scorers were Brenda Kraemer with 11 points, and Tina Murray with eight. This past weekend, the Athenas travelled to St. Catharines for a tournament at Brock University. On Friday, the Athenas met York, and despite a good effort, lost 53-43. Kraemer led the scoring with 11 points, while Erickson and Murray each put in eight. Erickson captured player of the game honours as well. The second match saw UW face off against U of T, one of the top teams in the eastern division. Toronto led at the half by 40-31, but in the final four minutes of the game, they exploded with scoring, netting 16 points to cap their win by a score of 84-57. Despite the loss in composure, Erickson netted 19 points, and won player of the game honours, while Kathy Wordham scored eight points. The final game matched UW

against Concordia for the second time in as many weeks. Despite some rough moves by Concordia and being the underdogs for the whole game, the Athenas went ahead in the final 13 seconds of the game, and won 57-56. Tina Murray picked up player of the game honours, leading an overall strong performance by the entire Athena squad. This past Wednesday, November 27, the Athenas brought their play home to host the Brock Badgers at the PAC-o-rama. While the Badgers showed their drive by netting a good percentage of their shots, the Athenas were tentative in the first half. The starting posts didn’t come to play, and coach Denise Dignard replaced them with two eager but inexperienced rookies. Brock led at the half 39-26. The Athenas were a different squad in the t second half, finding their aggressiveness in an attempt to catch-up to the Badgers. Despite their efforts, the Athenas were plagued by bad rebounding and foul trouble. Lean AM Erickson fouled out with five minutes remaining, ending a h&rating game. The final score saw Brock win the match by a score of 82-63. Top scorerS for the Athenas were Tina Murray, with a whopping 23 points, followed by Brenda Kraemer with 10, Kathy Wordham with 9 and Susan Kruis with eight. The Athenas will be practicing their rebounding skills for the next few weeks, in preparation for their next match, on Sunday December 29, at the PAC. Be sure to spend some time next season at the PAC, supporting your Athena basketball team.

by Rich Nichol Imprint sports Now that’s more like it! The Black Plague volleyball Warriors are finally back to their old powerful selves again after a dominating 3-l win over the Guelph Gryphons in the Royal City on Wednesday-night. Waterloo won the match 15-10, 13-15, 15-12, 15-1 I and now sits alone in third place in the seven-team OUAA West division with a 3-2 record. All three wins have been on the road. “When we bare down and focus fully, we can play well against any,body,” said Warrior head coach Scott Shantz. The Plaguestem have put hunger and intensity back into their matches, but they were still sporadic at times against Cuelph letting game two slip away from their grasp. Shank explains. ‘Our guys still have trouble staying focused during matches. We turn our concentration on and off and that is when we get burned. Once we had Guelph’s offence figured out, we settled down and played a more controlled match.” ‘Mr. Hang-time” sophomore power hitter Jon Tenthorey spearheaded UW’s offence with 15 points on 14 kills and a stuff block. Fourth-year middle Ian Heynen had an aggressive outing at the middle position, smashing 12 kills and building five stuffs for 17 points. Veterans Rene Holt and Wiliiam Zabjek added 12 and 11 points respectively. The previous weekend, Waterloo participated in one of the biggest interuniversity volleyball tournaments in Canada, the 16-team Guelph Invitational Tournament. This event drew a high calibre of teams including the defending Canadian champion Manitoba and thrw

by Paul Done Imprint staff In a word, Friday night’s loss to the Brock Badgers was plain ug-lee. The Warrior Basketball team played one of their worst games of the year against the nationally fifth-ranked Badgers. The Warriors were dominated at both ends of the floor, and were only kept in the game by a gutsy performance from Alex Urosevic. Last year, Brock was big with five players 67” or bigger on their roster, but weak around the perimeter. This year, they’re still big but their guard play has been improved by the addition of first-year phenom Kevin MacDougall. Most of the damage was done by 6’8” Gord Wood irid Brian Bleich, who burned the Warriors time and time again inside. Wood, in particular, killed the Warriors on the glass, getting at least 10 of his points on offensive rebounds and tipins. Sean VanKoughnett, in an uncharacteristically quiet outing. got only three points, on a solitary trifecta less than a minute in. Brock used the same tactic that they had used in the second half of their playoff victory over the Warriors last February. They rotated Bleich and Wood on VanKoughnett to deny him the threepoint shot. During Sean’s 40-point outburst in St. Catherines, though, he took advantage of his superior quickness to drive past the Brock big men. This time, he remained on the perimeter, not forcing the defence into double-teaming, nor forcing them to give him a little daylight. The Warriors were also hurt by the

Before the Athenas last game of 1991, Coach Dena Deglau said that the upcoming game against Guelph would be a real test for her team. Waterloo was in a tie with four other teams for second place in the 0WlA.A West division, so a win would help in securing the team’s pre-season goal of making the playoffs. But, the long, dark trip down Highway 7 was not generous to the Athenas as they went down to the Gryphons in three games straight 1 l15, 10-15, and 4-15. A lack of intensity and too many’ unforced errors were the downfall of Waterloo against a Guelph team which had a fine defence, but was no better than the Athenas talent-wise. As Coach Deglau said after the game “we just did not play well enough to win” although she also added that the team is “very solid” and that there

was nothing specific she wanted to work on with the team for the next couple of weeks except for “keeping intensity.”

In the first two games of the match, the games were closer than the scores would suggest as neither team really was able to gain any momentum to take any sizable leads. The Athenas played catch-up most of the first game managing to tie the score at seven and then again at 11, before the Gryphons good defence got the best of Waterloo and took the game 15 11. The highlight of this game for our side would have been a great shoot set to power hitter Nicky Campbell by setter Katrina Englebrecht. The second game again had Waterloo behind early, but this time they could not even shore up the score as Guelph was always in the lead. When the score was 13-8 for the Gryphons, Deglau called a time out

The Warriors briefly got the margin back to a single digit, 33-26, with 6:23 left in the first, but another Brock run, this one of 9-4, built the margin back up to a dozen. That margin held steady until halftime, at which point the Badgers led 48-34. The second half was no prettier as Brock quickly pumped their margin up to 17, leading 54-37 two minutes into the second frame. The margin remained fairly steady at 12-15 points, until Urosevic poured in ten straight for the Warriors to close the gap to nine, 71-62 with 550 to go. Urosevic got little support, though, and the Warriors were outscored 15-6 down the stretch. Final score 86-68. In Saturday’s consoiation match, Waterloo met the Windsor Lancers, UUAA West doormats. The Lancers lived up to their billing falling 88-80 to the PVarriors. The first National Basketball Rankings have come out, and three teams from the OUAA West are in the top 10. The McMaster Marauders are at no. 4, Brock is at no. 5, and Ctielph is no. 7. The Warriors’ work is clear: if they are to progress in their division, they must be able to beat those teams. This weekend, the Basketball Warriors travel down the road to Lendon to play in the Western Invitational. It’s another chance for the Warriors to compare their progress against the rest of the OUAA west.

and got a break as Guelph missed the next serve,, Waterloo then won a monster ralIy where both teams each made amazing digs. But this was one of the last points Waterloo would get as Guelph went on to win 15-10. To shake things up for the third game, Robin McKay and Karen Schmidt were put in the starting rotation marking the second time this season that a game was not started by the traditional line up. But even with this, Waterloo never really got into the third game, as shown by the score of 4-15. The first point for Waterloo came on an ace serve by Sue Bylsma, after about eight service rotations did not yield any score. But Waterloo would only get three more points during this game, most of them after the they had already fallen behind by 10 points. So after the first half of the season, the Athenas are fighting for a playoff spot with a record of 3-3. Waterloo will have to turn it around in the second half, right now all the skills are there, they just need to keep playing like they are able to long enough to put some wins under their belt.

The University of Western Ontario Lady Mustangs won the tournie with 12 points, while host McMaster had IO points and Waterloo eight in this three-way race. Wilfrid Laurier brought up the rear with zero points. The team travels to Toronto tomorrow (Saturday, Nov. 30) for an exhibition match. Heather McLeod, who played in the number-five position on the team, has been training on her own while on a work term in Mississauga. She defeated both her opponents from McMaster and Laurier by scores of 30, and played a Lady Mustang in the final match of the day. McL.eod fell behind O-2 in games before storming back with a tremendous second effort to win the next three games and claim the match. The score in the final games was 10-9. . In the fourth spot, Laura Hahn defeated both of her opponents from Mac and WLU by using some of her tournament toughness and court sense, from earlier badminton experience.

by Kevin McDonald Imprint sports ‘. Last weekend, the Warrior and Athena swimming teams traveled to two different venues for Ontario invitational meets. The women’s team went to Hamilton for a meet hosted by M&laster University, while the men traveled to tie University of Toronto. Both teams fared very well with many good individual performances. These meets served as a bell weather mark for the season, so that coach Reema Abdo could assess how far the teams have progressed. The Athenas showed marked improvement pver their results from the Brock relay meet. Even though only four other schools competed, these teams (McMaster, Western, and Guelph) will be their main competition at Ontario championships. Steeltown native _and super fresh Erica Belluz had a fantastic meet, earning UW’s female athlete of the week honours. She won the grueling $00”metie freestyle, in a time that placed her fifth overall on the Athena all-time school top-ten list. Belluz backed this performdnce up with a second in the 400-m free (also fifth overall all-time), a third in the 100-m free, and a tired finale of a fourth in the 200-m free. Joining Belkuz in the win column was sophomore swimmer Christie Selig, putting in an intelligent race to better the field in the 200-m butterfly. She then backed up this result with a

sixth place finish in the 200-m free. The Athenas showed their depth in the 800-m free with the first place finish by Belluz, a third by team veteran Sheryl Slater, and a fifth by fifth year senior Kim Boucher. Rounding out the top performances by the women were team co-captains Trish Felszegi, with a third in the 200m backstroke and Kris Jackshaw, with a fifth in the 400-m individual medley.

the team will head down to Fbrida Excellent swims were also turned in by Chris Gibson, second-year swimmer Andrea Booth, and Melissa Williams (who was plagued by some bad goggle luck prior to each race). . At the U of T Invitational, the Warriors saw all the teams that they would be competing against at the Ontario Championships, including their main competition: U of T, Mac, Western, Brock, and Windsor. From the results posted, the outlook is good for the men to improve on their fifth place fir$sh atlast year’s OUAA finals. Leading the charge for the .men was German transfer student Ralf Gunther. He placed fifth in the 100-ti breaststroke, with the fourth fastest time in school history. Gunther also finished seventh in the 100-m fly, improving on his time from the Brock

meet and moving up to fifth all time, and a fast time in the 50-m free to put him ninth all time. Joining Gunther in the 100-m fly was Ian Hunt, who placed sixth and Jason Krupp, who placed eighth. Hunt also finished sixth in the all-out sprint 25-m free. Krupp, on the other hand, placed fourth in the real man’s event the 200-m fly, with a very tactical race. Also placing well in the exciting 25m free was Mark “Horman” Yip. On the other end of the distance spectrum Mike ‘Take your kids off the street” Cash finished fifth in the 1500m free, in a time just 11 seconds off his fastest ever (which was done when he was shaved, tapered, and rested). In addition, swimming well for the Warriors were Dave “of Thunder” Schneiderman, Matt MacTavish, and Eric Huff (just off a week long infirmityj. On thix whole, coach Abdo was very pleased with the results and is very enthusiastic about the upcoming meets. The next meet for both teams is this Friday, when the teams will make the very long trek down the 401 to my home town of Kingston for the Queen’s Invitational. The team will then head duwn to Florida after exams for the annua1 Christmas training camp. The teams will have to train about four hours a day plus dry land, so without the distraction, of school everyone should get in real good shape heading into the championship season.

Erica BeIIuz is UWs female athlete of the week. Erica, a first-year recreation and leisure studies student competed in four freestyIe events at McMaster on Saturday, posting a first, second, third, and fourth place finish in the 800,400, 100, and 200-metre events respectively. This was a great effort by Erica who competed in all four events over a three-anda-half-hour period, the chief reason why most swimmers compete in two events only. Erica’s performance in both 800 and 400metre freestyle was also good enough to place her in the top-five on the all-time Athena list here at WaterIoo. With the season just underway, the Athenas will look toward Erica to

agical Misery Tour Sarah McLachlan Humanities Th~atru November 20,1991

by Michael Clifton Fmnk Seglenieks and Waters Imprint staff I

Michael: In concert McLachlan is personable, ‘but her rapport with the audience is primarily musical. She introduced some of her songs, sometimes explaining their significance; eventually she just sang them, letting them speak for themselves. The audience raved most after “The Path of Thorns,” probably because it has received the most airplay of all her songs on video shows. Her real triumphs were the rendition of “VOX,” her danceable hit from the Touch album, and her changes of repertoire during her three encores. She closed the encore sessions with her own brand of Talk Talk’s single, “Give It Up,” and a personalized version of Billie Holiday’s, “Gloomy McLachIan Sunday,” in which accompanied herself on the accoustic guitar.

Christopher

Michael: The packed-in crowd at Humanities Theatre were drawn right into the rhythm and fire of Sarah McLachlan’s misty, moving music. On either end of the stage stood the naked figures displayed on the cover of the Solaw album, like sentinels guarding her in her strange world of sultry sounds and lightly throbbing lyrics. McLachlan’s music doesn’t rock; it lays down to the l Listener, offering itself, hoping it seems, for acceptance. Combined with the yearning quality of her voice, her songs seem to invite the listener into Mclachlan’s land where loneliness and disappointments battle the desire for security and the protection of honesty and fair treatment. Listening to McLachlan’F lyrics ic like opening her diary; the, arc personal, although not all of them reflect her own experiences. “Shelter” records the suffering of animals trapped by human cruelty - “they’re crowded into the smallest spaces / While outside all of nature cries . . .” “Lost” tells a story like a T. S. Eliot

poem, of the ignorantly alone, and the individuated society, an experience which 4~ r~la!es with the clarity of one who has experience cl such an rzpisode.

Frmk: The opening act of Gregory Ho.skim und Stickpeople failed to impress me,

as they never were, able to grab the audience with any part of their music or vocals. I know it’s not fair to paint all alto sax players with the same brush as pop sensation Kenrjy G, but whenever I hear that instrument, I can’t get his brand of happy pop music out of my head. The set ended with Hoskins flogging his latest album and his upcoming gig in Guelph.

Chridtopher : The figures, the naked man and woman, on either side of the stage were almost imperceptible. They stood as majestic as brass rubbings and can in this estimation be connected symbolically to McLachlan’s music. Brass rubbing is the art of taking an impression off of stone by placing paper over it and rubbing over it with chalk or graphite. Commonly the source of these rubbings, the original stone, are tomb stones. The departures which are memorialized in these works elicit a monument of grace. This loss, pain, and suffering, culminate in a work of beauty which

is transferable to different matter, and states of being. So too is Sarah McLachlan’s work. The intense beauty of McLachlan’s work is wholly accountable to the fact that it is founded upon such personal points of reference. “Black,” which appears on Sarah’s latest release, Solace, and which was performed at the Humanities in a manner befitting a work of Weill and Brecht, is a perfect this quality of example of McLachlan’s vocation. “If I cried me a river of all my confessions / Would I ,drown in my shallow regret” would be right at home in the brooding brilliance of The Threepwny Opwa. Sarah is a paradox within herself. She appeared at the Humanities Theatre clad in a subtle black dress, shod in ungraceful biker boots with a squared toe. She is at times ‘The Lady evoking images of of Shallot” solitude, and yet a solitude which is lessened by visions of a lover, or apparitions of a past love. “I Will Not Forget You”,is a songexplained by Sarah as being about “being in love with a Prince until you discover that he never existed.” Sarah McLachlan is a brilliant young artist. Her brutally honest work is unusual in the genre of pop music which provides the framework within which Sarah operates. Her two releases to date, TouL’~, and Suluce, as well as her live performances, as was evidenced by this show, suggest that Sarah McLachlan is a major talent embarking on a long and bountiful career. A career in which “her bitter tears” will reap much more than merely the coming of the tide.

The Ksiraoke Kid Billy Bragg with Disposable Heroes of HipFopracy Friday, Novem her 22 The Concert Hall by Peter Brown Imprint staff

We must have woken up the neighbourhood. With all our pent-up frustration, we must have, seeing as Billy Bragg took three years to put out a new album, two to return to Toronto, Let me tell you, it was worth the wait. It marathon love-in with was a everyone’s favourite socialist that lasted for over two hours in the jampacked Concert Hall. Bragg kicked off the set by rollicking through “You Woke Up My and “Greetings to Neighbourhood” the New Brunette” before sending the band off-stage to make way for* some solo selections. Thus began a good mix of songs from throughout his career - from older stuff like “A Lover Sings,” “The Milkman of Human Kindness,” “The Diggers,” and of course ‘“The Saturday Boy” to “Mother of the Bride”and

every word had me worried that the venue might be packed with brand new fans, but that cloud was dispelled as everyone sang along with “Milkman.” Thankfully, he tried to stay as true

as possible to his earlier songs and not give us a funkified, Manchester version of some sombre ballad. A few notable perennial favm that he didn’t get around to included “There is Power in a Union,” “Levi Stubbs’ Tears,” and “New England.” This was a Bragg concert: the extended version. He couldn’t force himself to play two songs without a

for 16 weeks.

His regular set lasted 90 minutes and gave way to a lengthy encore, capped off by a playful and celebratory IS-minute-long rendition of “Groove is in the Heart,” featuring Cara Tivey on lead vocals. Quite the

hoot. The openers, the Disposable Heroes of Hiphopracy, soundly disproved the mainstream notion that rap is a genre for people who haven’t got enough talent for anything else. The band was stopped at the border on the way to the show, and ended up at the Concert Hall an hour late and without their seemingly necessary accessories: keyboards, samplers, and drum machines. The only weapon left in their armory was the bassist’s miraculous, 12-string contraption, something that looked and sounded Iike half bass guitar and half lead. Even more miraculous was that he could practically make this guitar sound like it was both instruments at the same time as the Heroes tumbled through a handful of songs including “Television,” “Death is the Silence,” and “Socio-genetic Experiment.” The Heroes are a more skeletal and intelligent version of Public Enemy and their songs were made pvLwerful even aco’ustically by the lead singer and the drummer on a real drum kit. The DJ looked a bit lost, though, as all he really had to do was dance about the stage and provide the occasional back-up vocal.

Amis

Viking Press, 176 pages, $22.99 mby Paul Done Imprint staff At some poini during Time Uwow, the reader realizes that there’s something nasty going on . . . and like the narrator, they’re trapped in the speeding passage of time, with no escape. Starting on a deathbed, Time:s Arrow flys backward, from target to bow, with a sideways look at the landscape as it goes past. When Amis’ Lundon Fields was published in 1489, it signalled a move to a higher plateau of writing - one where his fascination with the scarred corpse of human society mutated from ill-tempered scab-picking into .pit-iless wound-salting. With its dual narrative structure, the 500 pages of L0ndorr fi&i5 were sprawling genius, A finalist for the Booker prize, Tirzro:s ,~TTOM~is a far more compact and fast-moving tale. Unlike Lurr&j/~ f+lc~s which moved in circles, then ended with a terrifying adrtnalinecharged rush. Its first score of pages are like the drawing of breath before the headlong charge to perdition which in this case comes at the moment of creation. The narrator is trapped within the body of one Tod T. Friendly, old man getting younger by the minute. Like the narrator, we get glimpses of the world around us in fleeting oblique glimpses - and we must decipher these backward-encrypted messages. As we fly backward into the unknown of the past, events occur without clarifying themselves women come in and out of his bedroom with increasing frequency, his masturbation becomes more furious, he moves house f . . and he changes his name.. . Other than shadows of emotion which fly across Tod’s emotional terrain, the rewinding events are our only glimpse into his past-future we’re always a step behind/ahead. Tod’s name might have been friendly, br!t there’s something dirty lurk-

ing underneath his white doctor’s smock. A secret which makes him nervous and jumpy (and it’s not just caffeine), as do the letters which arrive one a year, to tell him that the weather in New York is fine. I’m a little above giving away.

‘Til the fat lady sang! by Michael Clifton Imprint staff University’s Wilfrid Laurier second, third and fourth-year opera classes answer the cIassic questions: is opera accurately characterized by a screeching herd of over-fed Swedish matrons wielding axes and wearing ox-horns? Is opera agonizingly drawn out scenes of emotional turmoil suffered by young Italian lovers or traumatized Vikings with incredible lung capacity? No, no, they declare! Rather, opera is an evening’s comic delight, and a night’s sombre recollection of frail humanity and the outcome of decent yet struggling ambitions, played out by attractive actors and sweet-voiced singers. Last Friday and Saturday nights, 16 of WLU’s most talented performers lit up the Theatre Auditorium’s simple stage floor with five opera excerpts, from Rossini’s C’imim&r, Verdi’s l+I.stt~[~; Donizetti’s 77.1~Elij-ir oflm~: and the finale from Strauss’ moving Lb- R~~.vtwk~rvcrl;~r.

It seems that, in some sense, the record industry is reaping the fruit of the power that they have given to angry black voices . . . and they’re neither happy, nor comfortable, with that reality. Death CertijWe builds upon the ugly rage of Ameti’KKKa’s 440s Wcrnted, and finds Ice Cube at the height of his powers. With shaven head, symbolic of his conversion to the Nation of I&m, Ice Cube piles layer and layer of horror upon the big, fat beats provided by the Lench Mob. Like Ame%KKa, Death ~eH-@mte demonstates Ice Cube’s ability to create music whose density of collage creates a near-cinematic verisimilitude. Thematically, the LP is divided into “Death” and ‘Xife” sides - the former documenting the current state of blacks, while the latter purports to examine the state that blacks should be striving for. Ironically enough, the songs which have garnered Cube the negative press are on the Life side. Considering just how precisely Ice Cube documents the depravity of the AfreAmerican condition on songs like “A Bird in the Hand” and “Doing Dumb Shit,” it’s a shame that he proves himself to be a racist. Slamming your oppressors is one thing, but lashing out at Orientals and Jews is pointless - they’re really not the problem. “No Vaseline” hits back at NWA, who took time to diss Cube on IV@faz4Life, their utterly worthless number-one &bum. There really doesn’t seem to be any point to this exercise, since Ice Cube is a light-year better than NWA, anyway. ‘Vaseline” also lets the anti-Semitic and homophobic beasts into the open, ending Gwth Certi$cate -on a very sour note. Likewise, “Givin’ Up the Nappy Dug Out” must have been recorded with an eye to entertaining dumb-ass white B-Boys - they seem to make up the majority of those who find humour in songs about “sluts,” “hos,” and oraI sex, (Thanks&the token mention of his m&gyny - ed.)

album, “Alive On Arrival” puts Ice Cube in the position of a dying homeboy, laying on the ground with the life ebbing out of him. “A Bird in The Hand” is as political as Ice Cube is going to get - damming George Bush’s economic policies while assuming the role of a young father askingifhehastoresorttocrimeto support his family. ‘True to The Game” and “Color Blind” lay the groundwork of Cube’s agenda, while ‘7 Wanna Kill Sam” contains a level of revolutiof&y fervour rarely seen beyond Public Enemy records.

Lush is a band which works best in the single or El? format. lfheir domestic debut Gala was merely a coktion of the band’s British EP releases.

B&k Spring is Lush’s new four-song release which remains true to Lush’s proven, albeit formuhic, sound, This time around, the production fell onto the shoulders of Robin Guthrie, a member of the Cocteau Twins, who is presently producing every British band who aspires to sound like his band. He was assisted by Mitsuo Tate who joined the Cocteau Twins for their North American Tour last year. So, this FP has the pedigree for jangle guitars and. ethereal vocals in spades. Between Lush’s previous work and the work of their producers, the sparse yet luxuriant sound which is present on Black Spring is no surprise.

Just like last year, Ice Cube has released a better album than Public Enemy, but has shot himself in the foot with empty-headed and UMCceptable racism and homophobia. unfortunately, but probably deservedly, the negative stuff onfiath Certiicate will get all the attention. Until Ice Cube learns that all forms of bigotry and hatred are equally vile, his unmatched narrative voice and penetrating vision will be lost amid the furor which surrounds his offensive material. “Nothing Natural” opens this single with its two part harmonies and driving guitar sounds. The song is typically Lush, typically good. The Rickenbacker Revival, the renaissance of the Rickenbacker guitar made possible by such shoegazers as Chapterhouse, Ride, and, of course, Lush, is complete on this song as jangle elements open into thrash elements which power into a phalanged bridge, All the while Emma and Miki sing over top of this fusion in an all-encompassing ballad to the highest planes. A cover of Dennis Wilson’s “Fallin’ In Love” appears in a sultry version complete with quiet guitars and whisper soft veals. Hereis the diversity of Lush, this speed change from driving and intense, “Nothing Natural,” to floatig and surreal, “Fallin’ In Love.”

“God’s Gift” picks up the pace a bit and drops the listener right off at the beginning of ‘Monochrome,” this single’s best track Its verses build a brooding intensity which is washed away by the sing-sorig nature of its chorus. The beauty of Lush’s vocals make such grace seem elementarq when their voices are anything but. Biuck Spnhg is a good collection. It contains four songs, 18 minutes, of quality material. It highlights the diversity and the artistry of Lush without betraying the formulaic sameness of the band which becomes hugely apparent on Gala.

Despite the eminent arrival of the band’s “Star Sign”single and its ensuing album Bandwugonesgue, certain demo versions by the band were surfacing on that “evil” bootleg black market. To ensure creative control of their material, the band collected a number of demos to crrate an album to tide the ravenous fans over until the release of Star sign.

of the guitar pedal which was used to create that wall of distorted sound which transcends this Fan Club version. Good stuff, indeed. The rest of the material on 77&z King, the other seven songs, are all demos from earlier in the band’s career. It includes two appendixes to A Cutholic Education’s songs “Heavy Metal” versions 1 and 2, namely

“Heavy Metal” versions 6 and 9. Remarkably these King versions sound very similar. Perhaps they are dl movements in one great rock ‘n’ roll symphony. Perhaps not. The title track is by far the least impressive track on this collection. It is more a song segment idea as opposed to an entirely thought-out

song. But that would be the risk of releasing mere demo versions. Whereas one of the finest moments on this album is Fan Club’s “Mudhoney” which more than suggests itself as a anthemic ode to the Seattle band of the same name. The idea of a band releasing

Machine. However, it seems that by going through the proper channels, ‘l’eenage Fan Club shot themselves in the foot. Instead of having a novelty inexpensive release for their fans, the band found their record company marketing material

However, either way it is totally asinine to have included these sound bytes at thk end of an otherwise good single package. These fans lavish amounts of praise come out as being extremely laughable. Apparently Morrissey’s de-deification is complete with a new legion of fans, who were too young to have experienced the Smiths firsthand. ‘There’s a P4ce in Hell for Me and My Friends” appears here, as it did in Morrissey’s Kill Uvcle live performance, performed at double time.

. Kill the best -and buy the rest by Peter Brown Imprint

staff

Twenty sounds like a nice, round number. With his 20th Lp, Nothing But u 3urning Light, Canadian folk legend Bruce Cockburn has turned the page on an illustrious career and produced some of the most tuneful music of his storied career. Imprint had the opportunity to chat with Cockbuq a few weeks ago from Ann Arbor, Michigan while he was on the American leg of a tour that will last until next spring.

Imprint: Itlr Q big changefor you to be recording in the States. How did the link with Sony happen? Cockbum: There are several angles to that. Getting the Sony contract was one of the main ones. That came about because the president of Columbia, a guy named Don Einer, is someofie that we’ve worked with before, Back in ‘79 and ‘80, we were with a small, independent label called

Millenium Records and Don was the guy was responsibIe for getting “Wondering Where the Lions Are“ played on the radio. So, we’ve worked with him for a couple of years, that company folded, and he moved on to other things and ended * up being president of Columbia. We were in sporadic contact with him over those years, and about a year ago he approached my manager Bernie Finkelstein about the possibility of doing a deal for me. We talked back and forth and as of last we signed it. And because the deal was a. bit more direct and allencompassing than previous

T. Bone Burnett was the one who picked LA to record in because that’s where he wanted to work and the people he wanted to use mostly were. And 1don’t mean to imply that there’s anything wrong with the Toronto scene or the musicians that you can work with in Toronto, because they are some of the best there are, but you need to change things every now and then. I: Does this deal with Sony ailow you to tour a bit more internatiunai!y than you would huve.’ C: Ultimately, it could. It depends on how the record does in the various territories in question. The record is going to come out in France and Spain, which is a first for me. I’ve never had any albums come out in those countries. We won’t know for a while yet whether the record will do well enough to allow me to go there. In other parts of Europe, I’ve already been touring a lot, so it should just help the standings. I: So, the new album is still distributed by Tnre North in Canada? C: Well, I’m still recording for True North, but I don’t know what the status of True North is. True North was always distributed by CBS in Canada, now Sony. That relationship continues, but the big difference now is that most of the parts of the world where we’ve got records coming out are now under the Columbii or one of the Sony labels as well, instead of having to rely on separate little deals in each country, which was always hard to coordinate. I: I see.j-om the new album, with your cover of ‘;sOul of u Mun, ” and from other sources that blues is an eurlv influence of yours. Did you listen to blues regularly LISII young Ix--non? C: Well, certainly as a younger person. I first started wanting to play music because of the original rock and roll records, Elvis, Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers, people like that. But it wasn’t long once I started playing guitar that 1 got introduced to a whole lot of other kinds of music. Blues was one of them - country, blues, and rag-time was the music that 1 learned to finger-pick with. Over time, I’ve gone through a lot of different styles of music and listening habits, but it was very much a part of the guitar style that I used and every now and then, it surfaced. There are some bluesy songs on previous albums, and there’s a lot of that sensibility on this album, both that and the old rock and roll. I; “Great Big L.ove” seems to an e~pression of satisfaction with your current Igesl;vleandyou ‘veenjoyedjust about 12s much success us is possible within Canada. Do you have widerzoub ofgetting your mmsage to the world.9 C: Well, I’m not sure what my “message” is, but when you write these songs and put them out, you want people to hear them, that’s what it comes down to. Not to a point, of course, of sacrificing the content of the songs or the integrity of what I’m doing. But it’s better when I get to play more places and have more people hear them - that’s the motivating force there. It hasn’t been an enormous frustration, but a mild annoyance 1 suppose, that we’ve haven’t been able to get more going in the US and England, the two areas where linguistically speaking people could realiy understand these songs. And yet we’ve managed to do very well, at different times anyway, in Italy and German and Scandinavia.

I: When you k playing conceris in the ntajor Canadian centres, like Toronto, it seems like ~OU’IV pluying to converted, Iike the bulk of the audience Ls people who have listened to you for years. Do yuu find the prvlblem of peopie wantirag you to do “Wonden’ng Where the Lions Aw” when you want try to introduce as much new mu~‘ul us possible? C: It’s never been too much of a problem for me. There are a few songs Iike that one that kind of stick out for people,

and that they yell out for at

Scratching the 20 year itch. I respect that and value it, obviously. It means a lot to me that they Iike something that much. But I don’t keep doing the songs once I can’t do them meaningfully anymore. I efer to accommodate people, but 7* the song is dead for me, then I just don’t sing it. For example, the song you picked is one we’re not doing on this tour just for that reason, and not because I don’t Iike the song, but just because I’ve sung it too many times and I can’t make it mean anything. It’s a balance - it’s really not that difficult a thing. I’m always most interested in doing the new material; as you surconcerts.

mised.

The pattern over the years has been for any one of my shows has been 50 per cent newer songs and 50 per cent old&r material, depending on what suits the band I’m and what I feel like playing. I: It seems like your albums, specially the on4s in the ‘&I~, have beept motivated by particular eventx Stealing Fire, for ample, seemed to be motivat& by your intent in Centnd American, politiix What isma dnwe to produce the album that you did with your new one? C: First of all, I’d like to clarify one thing. When 1 write songs, I’m not thinking about issues, generally, or thinking about albums, I’m just think-

playing with

ing about the particular song and the song itself usually comes from some experience of mine, whether it’s dkct or storiesfrom people who are closer to a particular issue than 1 am. There are one or two exceptions. “Call It Democracy” - I was going to say that it was consciously written about the issue of north / south financial relations and putting that into a context that was comprehensible to people. But even that & after the fact. The real motivation for writing that song was that I was really pissed off at the things that I was seeing. Through my own efforts to understand what 1 was seeing I came to the conclusion that,a lot of the problems were being exacerbated, if not caused, directly by agencies like the International Monetary Fund and the people behind those agencies who were basically using the financial system of the world to, in effect, enslave the populations of third world countries to alIow us to maintain our extravagant

lifestyle.

In the abstract, it sounds like that is one plausible tiysis out of many of the current global situation. But because of the experiences thatI had

had, and how close I had gotten

people who were at the bottom end of that scale, it infuriated me that that could exist and that so many wellmeaning people seem unwilling or unable to see that that was the relationship that existed. So, the song is really written out of

a personal sentiment, even though it talks abput a political issue, and the same is true of all the other songs. So, 1 didn’t plan for Steuling Fire to have anything to do with Central America. It came out that way because several of the songs came from there. And the same is true of the albums around it, in a way. World of Wonders particularly, and Eig Circunzrtance a bit less so. But on the new album, I didn’t go anywhere. So, there’s no exotic travel in there - the most exotic I got was spending a few weeks in Arizona early on. And that did produce the songs ‘Indian Wars,” ‘Kit Carson,” and “Child of the, Wind,” which doesn’t really have anything to do with an issue. The native thing is something

that

has been important to me for a long time. I haven’t talked about it in a concentrated way very much, but there are older songs that do talk about it: “Stolen Land,” there’s one called ‘Red Brother, Red Sister” on an earlier album. I guess because I was staying at home and because the issues were very gmphically presented to us in the form of the siege at Oka and a few other events during the last couple of years that were very visible, combined with the fact that 1 was travelling to a degree in native circles on and off. In a way, it’s the same kind of look at that situation as 1 was taking earlier on at Central America or other places. I: Would you huve had people like 7: Bune Burnett, Bo&er T. Jones, and Jackson Browne working on your album without the &ny &UP C: Well, I’ve worked with Jackson a number of times on benefits in the States and we know each other well. But, 1 doubt veIy much if 1 would have been able to have him come up to Toronto to sing on a record. The fact that we were recording in LA made that a possibility, along with the other artists. In the same spirit of change that made me want to record outside of Toronto, 1 didn’t want to work with the same musicians and producers. It was time for to change things. I: To you sti/i plan to have Canada as your base, yuur home? C: Ya, it is still my home and it’ll never not be. How viable it will be eventually for a base of operations, I don’t know, if the direction of Canadian government keeps going the way it is. I: How would the proposed changes in us visil hvs a$ect you? C: If it goes through as it’s currently talked about, a big problem for me is that my band will have to be together for a year in order to qualify. The whole thing is complete bullshit. I don’t know why they’re even thinking about it at this point Looking around

me and having

I: Ubvious[v when it was buck at Barn-e - what were yuur impressions of having a “roots ” festival in down town Torontu.y F: Actually, it’s a big improvement myself. I played Barrie and thought, man, this really stinks.

I: Just in terms offlliiities? F: Ya, it’s maybe harder, but I think you can have a festival on the moonas long as the attitude amongst the organizers and the volunteers, and then therefore the performers, is right. It’s sort of like of a church, you know. I just found that the attitude up there was ridiculous - the way that the security people were so heavyhanded. There was a tier system in terms of some performers got to have their food here and some of them couldn’t go there. It really destroy@ the whole feeling and 1 think they got less of a show from everybody because of that. So when they moved to Ontario Place, it really got some of that back. There were some problems, but it was a much better feeling. F: They had a finale! 1don’t think they even had one when I was up in Barrie. Everybody was flying in the day that they performed and flying out the next day, so there was no sense of community at all. 1 think a festival really relies on the performers getting together and meeting each other and talking an.d perhaps doing something impromptu. I know that I had a chance to play with people that I hadn’t with before at Mariposa. I know of at least one workshop where the audience got to see something that has never happened before and will probably never happen again. 1 have no idea how it wOrked financially for them, but from a performer’s point of view, it was way better, I: Arc yo1-l ~n*t.~~rnilrltl-vitl~ &uC~i~ ctdi-

But Rough Trade pretty much fell apart in Britain last year and they had really not fulfilled their end of the deal with my record contract, so they graciously, and without any kinds of hassles, gave me back the masters and said let’s call it quits, which was really quite decent of them.

He and I had become pretty good friends - we met in 1988 at the Vancouver Folk Festival and when 1 was touring in Britain in 1988-89, we thought that there was probably time to do a record that’s a little more indicative of the live show now. Outlu SPY was getting a little dated. So, he suggested that I do a record in Britain when 1 was there - go into a studio for four or five days and throw up a

F: It happened through John, our, mutual agent/manager. I was talking to him about my second album and we were tossing around names of producers. And he said, “I know Clive likes what you do.” I knew Clive - when I went up to Manchester I stayed with him, so it seemed like he would be the obvious person to ask, being a songwriter and a guitar player and a producer, he would understand. So we approached him and he was really interested in doing and was pretty much involved from then on.

“Turn Out the Lights,” it was very dtificult, not so much because what I had to deal with singing it. The song has real strong echoes of sexual abuse and incest. I’m not a victim of sexual abuse, but when I wrote the song, I wrote it because I lived with someone who is and statistically, I think it’s one in four women before the age of 18, one in six men before 18, are abused - and you look at an audience of a couple of hundred people and you know that they are people there for whom the song is going to very heavy for them. It’s great to be on stage and be the focal points of people’s excitement, and the lights are on you and everyone’s face is turned toward you, but when someone is going through something very hard, it’s hard to be the focus point for that. After a couple of times, you do distance yourself, not in a cynical way, but it’s a reality. I think that the performer has an obligation to keep a part of himself from the whole proceedings and monitor it and not let himself get pulled in by it.

“Folk Ghettu ‘? F: Ya, it’s not so much that I want to turn my back on it. I love performing solo, and not just because of economics. That’s the way I’ve made my way in business and 111 keep doing that. But I also like to work with other musicians. The joy of getting on stage with other players, I mean, it’s so neat an experience to rehearse tunes and get up and1 see that you’re creating some sort of magic right there with the players. When 1 made the decision to record Blare Line that way, it was more that I was acknowledging those influences. And if I wlent solo again, it would make it that much harder to do that kind of an album next time around. I: Ally platt.s4for rec&irlg in the Itcttr .futuw? F: I’m writing right now, compiling a new body of tunes. I’m probably jinxing myself here - I made the awful error of jokingly referring to Blue Line before it was recorded as “the difficult second record,” but 1 would hope to be working on a third record by the fall of this coming year.

I: I have a.fewquestiuns,from n~~~~ntl about Blue Line. HOW is it that you ‘vu been ablt, to SH some painful. haunting lyrics to such beaut$ui music*:1 Do +WU see this ax un irony? F: I think the greatest example of that is “The Bells of Morning.” I was on Vancouver Island just after’the shooting in Montreal. I started working on it the day after - I didn’t really want to write a song about it, I didn’t really want to stick my neck out, because if you remember, it was a time when everyone was upset and it was not really a good time for men to be sticking their necks out, because women were quite understandably angry at men. But, I found myself writing a song anyway. When I was writing it, I was thir&ing how am I going to make a song that isn’t so obviously depressing, sad. It was hard to work the lyrics in such a way as to find something hopeful in the whole scenario. I think that there is something hopeful in it all, and certainly in the debates that came out afterwards were very positive and it opened a lot of doors of discussion. I also wanted to write some music that was a lot more hopeful. The key phrase in the song is “the bells of morning” and when I was writing it down in print, I wasn’t sure whet&r to say “mdurning” with a “u” or”moming”without one and I chose not to have the “u” to focus the song toward after the event, something that happened in the past.

The smell of Cape Fear Cape Fear Direcred by Maniu

Scurcese

by Lance Manion Imprint staff In which Martin Scorcese (a) makes perhaps the most artistic suspense film of the year; (b) does for author John D. MacDonald what a number of film-makers did for Jim Thompson last year; and (c) introduces some knotty themes into a traditionally mindless genre. Helped along by a splendid story, brilliant acting, an eerie score, and overwhelming cinematography, Scorcese has crafted the most visceral, thoughtprovoking and wte&ning film of the season. Scorcese’s Capr Few is actually 3 remake of a 1962 film of the same name, which in turn was based on John D. MacDonald’s 1957 pulp novel. Until his death in 1986, MacDonald specialized in the same sort of sleazy Southern Gothic as Jim Thompson and Harry Crews. MacDonald’s work is always entertaining, often compelling but rarely thought-provoking. The heroes are hopelessly idealized and always

come clean in the end; classic “the good guys are the ones in the white hats” kind of stuff. The ‘62 film was quite faithful to the source. Goodhearted lawyer Sam Bowden interrupts a parking-lot rape and serves as key witness at the young rogue’s trial. Years later, the psychotic criminal is released on parole and sets his depraved sights on Bowden’s family; particularly Bowden’s nubile teenage daughter. Scorcese alters the story significantIy. Sam Bowden (played by Nick Nolte) is not an innocent bystander; rather, rapist Max Cady (Robert DeNiro) had retained Bowden as his defense lawyer. In mid-trial, Bowden had come across evidence that Cady’s victim was promiscuous. However, because he was convinced of his had supclient’s guilt, Bowden pressed the file, knowing full well that it could seriously help Cady’s case. Cape Fear begins fourteen years after these events, as the deranged Cady is released from prison. And he is a man with a mission. You see, during his years in prison, Cady has (a) discovered his lawyer’s neglect; (b) transformed himself into a physically fearsome brute; and (c)

read the Bible a whole lot, and interpreted it in such a way that he now feels it’s his duty to exact revenge on Bowden and his family. Indeed, Cady’s body is covered with tattoos of Biblical quotations like “Vengeance is mine said the Lord.” So Cady’s campaign begins subtly - even seems silly at first - but soon escalates into a siege of terror. Early in the film, Cady sits in front of the Bowdens at the movies, laughing nonstop and blowing cigar smoke into their faces. Next he harasses Sam Bowden as he’s driving. Things get worse and worse - the family dog is poisoned, one of Bowden’s co-workers is brutally raped - and still it seems the law cannot touch Cady. At the same time, Cady’s attacks work on deeper levels, as Bowden’s ostensibly picture-perfect family degenerates into rage and resentment. Bowden is a reformed adulterer; his wife (Jessica Lange) is distant and mistrustful; his daughter is sullen and rebellious. Cady exploits all these things to the fullest. For example, there is the scene where he poses as a drama teacher and lures fifteen-year-old Dannieue Bowden into the deserted school auditorium. He does not rape her; rather, he seduces her - not her body, but her mind. He plays on her insecurities and resentments and strengthens her alienation from her parents. Then he lets her go, after having pretty much gained hei sympathy. Thus, Cape Fear is disturbing on a number of levels. While Cady’s increasingly physical attacks on the Bowden family grow more intense, the psychological war he wages is somehow more unsettling. Whatever the case, the film is filled with honifying scenes that raise the audience’s tension to almost unbearable levels. And while the directing; is no less than brilliant, the cast IS equally inspired. DeNiro in particular shines a~ a psychotic criminal who is nonetheless full of deadly cunning. Adept at adopting any role that suits him, Max Cady is adept at rnanipuhtig almost every other character in the film. Indeed, one of the most frightening aspects of Cape Fear is the repeated implication that through it all it is always Cady who controls the action. Also notable is Scorcese’s use of subtext. The film ostensibly just recounts a psychotic’s reign of physical and psychological terror. However, Scorcese is also clearly concerned with (a) religious themes; and (b) rape laws. Cady seems to set himself up as an avenging Old Testament god, swearing to awaken Sam Bowden from his material com-

placency. By the film’s climax, he is even speaking in tongues. Add some confusing Pontius mate imagery (as Bowden literally rinses Cady’s blood off his hands) and you have interesting layers of meaning. Likewise, there is the question of rape. When Bowden withholds the evidence that could have saved Cady, it is hardly presented as a noble act; rather, it is pretty clear that Bowden has inexcusably betrayed his client. Yet, this does still not seem to justify Cady’s horrific psychoses. And when

is based.* Cady rapes Bowden’s assistant, she refuses to testify against him, knowing that her sexual past will be used against her. AI1 this raises some deeprooted questions about rape laws, without providing any clear-cut answers. Not that any are necessary. The best films can hope to do no more than examine issues in a thoughtful way; if they go beyond that they are moving into the realm of propaganda. And make no mistake; Ctipu Fear is probably the best current film you could hope to see.
