Student Ckntre referendum approved by Peter Brown Imprint staff

For the second time in 14 months, University of Waterloo students will go to the polls to decide on a proposal for a student life building at the end of this month. After conducting a survey of student opinion in the fall of 1991, a Student Centre Ad Hoc Committee struck in September developed a three-part plan to satisfy the needs indicated by the survey and recommended to the Federation of Students that a referendum be held on January 28 and 29,1992. Fed Student Council members and the Student Association Graduate approved the referendum in December. Carolyn Thomas, a first-year student, has been named the Chief Returning Officer for the vote. The plan proposed by the SCAHC begins with a $10 per-term, perstudent fee that would create a $750,Project 000 Student Directed Endowment Fund for improving

safety and accessibility on campus, renovations to the existing campus centre, and improvement of current lounge and study areas. If the proposal is approved by students, the fee would begin next term, the spring of 1992 and would end once the $750,000 target had been reached, in a maximum of seven terms. The second and largest part of the project would be the 33,000-squarefoot Student Centre proper, estimated to cost $6.6 million. This building would provide social and recreation space, improve services and amenities, and increase retail space. A M,OOO-sq-ft, $2.9 million physical recreation project on the north campus would make up the third stage of the project and would include multi-use recreational space and additional change and weight rooms. To pay for these two parts, students wou1d begin to pay a $25 per-term, per-student fee when these facilities open. This fee would continue for 25 years.

The SCAHC, the Feds, and the GSA will be trying a different approach for this referendum: there will not be “yes”and “no”committees in charge of publicizing the two sides of the debate. Instead, there will be a so-called “neutral committee” that will conduct an informational campaign starting on Thursday, Jan. 14. This campaign will include inforrnation booths across campus, people knowledgeable about the proposal speaking to classes, and posters. The budget for this informational campaign has been set bv the Federationlat $800, since the ho opposed

committees in a Fed referendum normally get budgets of $400 each. Any Fed referendum or campuswide vote must have 10 per cent of eligible undergraduates voting to be valid. The Grad Student Association requires a turnout of 25 per cent of eligible grad voters.

Fed Hall didrvt turn cm* the way students hat planned.

The SCAHC developed this project from almost 2,000 surveys out of 7,000 that had been distributed to students on and off-campus. Seventy per cent of respondents were in favour of the concept of a new Student Centre and coordinated plan.

Co-op unemployment by Scott Carson

special to Imprint Co-op students are turning out to be the latest victims of Canada’s faltering economy. The number of people looking for placements through the program is increasing as the co-op population increases but, due to hard economic times there are fewer employers. This term, there are about 3,200 students to be placed and approximately 88 per cent have been successful in finding work. Unfortunately, that leaves nearly 450, mostly first-year students, looking for jobs. The hardest hit are the first-year engineers who make up most of the

remaining unemployed I while the rest are divided among the other faculties. According to co-op coordinator Dick Pullin, efforts are being made to find placements for all students but layoffs in the manufacturing industries of Ontario are making things difficult. The problem here is twofold; firstly, workers are being laid off from jobs similar to traditional student positions. Therefore, the people who were laid off are competing for the same positions as the students in coop programs. Where does UW tub for more jobs? Most of the employers the university has relied on in the past are hiring to some degree. The lack of

positions comes from a reduction in the number of jobs offered by large’ firms while some of the smaller employers have pulled out altogether. The forecast is not completely gloomy, however; co-op officers have been working doggedly to achieve a 100 per cent placement rate and are willing to bend some rules if necessary. Their objective is to find work terms as beneficial as possible for everyone but if a student has a bad term, special attention will be given to them to ensure that the remaining work terms are more productive. Hopefully, the system will have things work out in the long run.

Holiday B & E spree by Michael Clifton Imprint

staff

The investigation continues into the key heist last December from the General Services Complex on campus. UW Security announced on December 16 that the stash of master keys to certain campus maintenance areas had been stolen after “somebody went to pains to get through the door and into the vault.” So far Security has not released many details of their investigation.

They have also kept hushed about exactly which keys were stolen, in order not to inform the thief or thieves. Key Control was not breached, and the Gazette reported (Jan. 8) that Dana Porter keys were secure, although some “sensitive areas,” such as “libraries, residence rooms, places money is kept, areas with confidential records, and animal-care centres,” had to be resecured before the Christmas season. To reduce the risk of break-ins during the holidays, campus security hired a number of students to patrol in addition to the regular UW police

force which includes three or more officers on duty at all times. While the main campus remains essentially. secure, and all the locks affected by the stolen keys have been replaced, other areas have had recent and not unexpected break-in scares. At least two attempted break-ins were &ported around Christmas at the Married Student Apartments, one including an obvious threat against the persons in the apartment. To one incident Waterloo Regional Police brought in the K-9 division to sniff out the perpetrator, but to no announced avail. Over the same period there were at least six reported break-ins at student residences in the Hazel and Austin Drive area. According to Waterloo Detective Staff Sgt. Al Hunter, there is always a certain increase of such criminal activities over any holiday or vacation period, when most students are away from the city. Those breakins are almost all successful, since not only are the student residents away, but so are their student neighbours. Regional police have a difficult job watching out fox break-ins in the offcampus student areas, since by-and-

large the offenders tend to be around the same age and often of the same appearance as university students. They have also had no success yet in finding the offenders involved in the reported cases, Largely, this is because the thefts were not discovered until the students returned from vacationing. Sgt. Hunter advises students to prepare in advance of going away by storing expensive and precious objects somewhere safe, such as at the home of a friend who is not going away, or in the trunk of your car. High risk objects include stereo equipment, CDs, jewelry, and cameras. Students who live in shared houses or residences also tend to be careless about leaving doors unlocked. Subsequently a lot of thefts in those houses are pulled off with incredl%le ease. Sgt. Hunter suggests that any students seeing unfamiliar characters around their homes or their friends’ homes ought to call the police immediately to investigate the situation. Cooperation and concern for one another is one major way to prevent crime on. and around the campus. On-campus suspicious or criminal activities should be reported to UW Security at ext. 3211 or 4911.

Friendly Fed Update .

by John Leddy President, Federation

of Students

Welcome back for another funfilled term at Canada’s top university. Although this wiI1 sadly be (well kind of sadly) the last term for the Friendly Fed Team, we’ve got a whole lot of stuff planned for the next four months. Some of the highlights: Student Dkct<d Co-ordinated Plan - referendum on the proposed plan to improve the quality of student life at UW will be held January 28 to 29. This proposal is a three-point plan: a student directed endowment fund, a new student centre on the south campus, and new physical recreation spaces on the north campus. Stay tuned for more details - the information campaign kicks off on January 16.

Jeti Chard, a federal Minister of the Environment will be on campus on January 20 to lead a panel discussion on the federal government’s constitutional proposal.This event will be held at ihe ?heatre of the Arts at 7:30 pm. Admission is free for Feds and $5 for non-Feds. Eked Elections and the OFS Referendum will be held on February 11 and 12. This is your chance to vote in a new Fed executive and make a decision about UW’s membership in the Ontario Federation of Students. Post-Secondary Education Funding Proposal is a comprehensive procalling for provincial posal government, the private sector, and university administration. This plan, which will deal specifically with tuition fees, will be ready for submission to the provin+l NDP government by the end of January. Winterfest is an on-campus winter carnival to be held at the end of Feb-

ruary. Specific events are in the planning stages and. we need all the volunteers we can Ret! fid Hall and the bomber: After an astoundingly successful fall term at both bars, we have an awesome Jineup of live acts and theme nights planned for this term. Watch for the “Free Before Nine!’ concert series. These are just some of the planned events but you can be sure there will be much, much more! Another highlight would be the start of the National Hockey League playoffs in April - soon after, the Montreal Canadiens will be crowned Stanley Cup champs . . . again! (Norhing like hometown funs! - ed,) PS - congrats to Laurie and the gang over at Student Alumni Affairs for all of the help they gave ROOF, a local charitable organization serving street kids, over the holidays.

Indecent m~osure charm called disctiminatorv

To~lesskal by Dave Thomson Imprint staff Gwen Jacob, the University of Guelph student who went for a topless walk last July, attended two more sessions of court during December 1991, when Imprint wasn’t publishing. The results of those sessions are summarized below. On December 2, Judge Bruce Payne heard from the last three of the defence’s witnesses. The first was Allan Fairweather, age 40, a resident who met Jacob on July 19,1991, the day that she chose not to wear a top ’

the fact that there was no commotion” and glad that “finally someone had raised the issue.” When asked by the Crown Attorney Owen Haw why he didn’t find Jacob’s actions offensive, he cited examples of beaches in various parts of Europe whereit isn’t a problem for women to walk around without tops. Twenty-seven year-old Mary Cross also testified in support of Gwen: she felt “good for her . . . she was challenging an unfair law.” Having two children under the age of three, she said that it wouldn’t bother her if her kids saw Gwen walking

When cross-examining, however, Haw asked Pederson about the results of a telephone poll that the Me~ury had run. When Peterson responded that he didn’t know what the exact numbers were, Haw asked for and received a delay in the trial until the exact numbers could be obtained.

The trial resumed on December 20, at which time Pederson’s testimony was concluded and both sides presented their closing arguments.

The defence argued that the “conduct is not more than what the community can tolerate,” and that what Jacob did was simply indicative of changing social standards. Judge Payne engaged Wright in a rather long discussion as to whether or not charges that apply to only one sex are discriminatory or not, in what was to be the first of an unusual number of interruptions by him during the defence’s closing arguments.

Wright finished by saying that the Crown hadn’t presented any evidence “that the world is going to fall apart if women g;o topless,” and that the charge of indecent exposure was a result of section 15 of the criminal code relating to indecent exposure was being applied in a discriminatory manner against Jacob.

In attempting to establish that public opinion supported Jacob, defence lawyer Jeff Wright questioned Pederson about the written response he received concerning a sipportive editorial that he had written about Jacob.

Crown Attorney-Owen Haw said that the time, place and circumstances of the act are important in distinguishing whether or not an act is indecent. He cited several decisions from American courts and argued that the purpose of the legislation was to protect people who do not have the choice to avoid having “tasteless” or “indecent” acts thrust upon them. Jacob appeared calm and thoughtful during most ofthe trial, except for the occasional silent, but visible laughter at Judge Payne or Haw’s statements. Judge Bruce Payne stated that he will have a written verdict prepared for 9 am on January 17, 1992, in Guelph Family Court.

-fireside chat. by Peter Brown Ah, January. It’s the beginning of another mild winter, my Broncos are a mere win away from another embarrassing Superbowl, and the recession is not even close to being over yet. That’s right, folks, it’s another term of whining from yours truly. The traditional view of a university is that it is rather removed from reality, a so-called “ivory tower.” Part of this metaphor comes from the role that universities play in searching for knowledge as opposed to pursuing profit. But profit, or economics, does have a lot to do with how universities must operate in our society. And we’re starting to feet that squeeze here at uw. For co-op students out on work terms this winter, this is one of the worst terms in quite a while. Of 3,200 students looking for jobs, only 88 per cent have found them. This may sound like a high success rate, but not here at Waterloo where we are used to 98 or 99 per cent placement. The depressed job market has another large affect upon universities in the form of enrollment. At a recent Senate meeting, UW President Doug Wright reported that enrollment at U W last fall was eight per cent over the projected level and attributed this jump to an increase in the percentage of students who accepted UW’s offers of admission. Could it be that our university is getting moreand more popular? Perhaps, but it is more likely that the difficulty that young people have getting jobs these days means that more of them are accepting any offers they can get. Also, since Waterloo’s co-op programs have a successful track record, recessionary times may cause more people to apply and accept offers to co-op programs, thus increasing the co-op employment pool. What this all boils down to is an increasing strain upon the university’s resources, more crowded classes, more overworked TAs, and less individual attention for students. Even the additional tuition revenue from more students would not do much to defray the strain, since tuition only accounts for about 17 per cent of the University’s budget. And we all know the financial condition that the provincial government, the major contributor to the university’s coffers, is in right now. Last fall, Queen’s Park backtracked on their original promises about increases in transfer payments for the 1991-92 fiscal year and treasurer Floyd Laughren has warned Ontario universities to prepare themselves for just a sliver of an increase for 1992-93. For this, we cannot really blame him - he hasa $9 billion deficit to worry about. Thus, is it not a curious time for us to be deliberating about spending millions of dollars on a student life project - to be proposing the addition of a non-refundable $25-dollar fee onto every students’ fees when tuition could be legislated upward at any time? It would be easy to look at this project in such a way, wondering if recession-beset 1992 was the time to lock oursetves into such a large commitment. I prefer to think that we can look at this project for its longterm merits and costs, In the coming weeks, we should be asking ourh selves, not can I afford this $25 dollars per term but, do students need and will they use these facilities, and is what we will get worth what we will pay for it.

GM, ‘Sports and You -

The world ain’t much different than hell these days. The blood-bath in Yugoslavia, the internecine insanity in Somotia, guerillas in EL Salvador, India, Sri Lanka, et al., and Europe in toto’s spooky rise of fascism, all haunt us, just to summon a few demons. These are important times; we are not merely going through a similar deja vu process as past generations, for what happens right now more than ever before is going to shape our future. And as such, we shduld not be galvanized toward indifference. L,ife may go on, but we are responsible for how life goes on. Our responsibility toward the future demands it. And paying Jack Morris $5.375 million to hurl a baseball is not an act of responsibility. The same day this most wondrous of signings transpired, General Motors perhaps best known for its film debut in “Roger and Me” - announced plans to ax billions of jobs and 21 auto plants. But which story was given more play in 7716~Toronto Star on December 19, 1991? Stay tuned, sports fans! Bluntly put, America is falling apart. GM, Eastman Kodac, AT&T, and IBM Blue, all very important companies that had traditions of employee-company loyalty (going all the way back to your grandfather’s time), a11 leveled similar fiats in 1991. And that loyalty worked both ways if your collar was white. Simply put, middle class loyal management-types were never laid off, even in the worst of times. But now this last vestige of the capitahsthumanist facade has been rent asunder. The situation is riddled with farce, except that this farce has a very human body count. We created and then acquiesced to a system that guaranteed the death of the individual: rabid capitalism. We smugly laughed at Marxism for its authoritarianism and its blandness, while we marched off to work in our uniforms (supplied by Alfred Sung) and bought pet rocks. Perhaps the latter is a dated example to sure, but a lesson worth remembering ne the less. P Capitalism was destined to destroy the individual. Possession becomes the only goal - including possession of companies. Hence

trap hit. PeopIe NEED GM, and GM has let them down Cynically. It has made people dependent and then screwed - no, fucked - the implicit trust its dependents had. High salaries to top officials and ludicrous perks to the self Same are merely footnotes in this -farce. The very different Robert Maxwell story ought to make us weary of money management in the corporate culture, not that the GM people are crooks or anything. .. . Wait a minute, they are crooks. Roger Smith, the general of General Motors’ throughout the ‘~OS, is now struggling to get by on a yearly pension of $1.2 million; in his last two years as head honcho he sweated to A earn a measly $6.3 million. Keep in mind that his pension was doubled to its present amount two months before he retired, even though under his tutelage GM lost it dominant market position, not just to the Japanese but to Ford and Chrysler as well. His finances are in line with the typical American CEO in America, the average CEO earns 160 times the amount of an average worker, compared to the ratios of 21 in Germany and 20 in Japan. However, Robert Stemple (present CEO of GM), has a plan to get GM back on its feet: though billions of jobs wiIl be lost and numerous plants padlocked, those who survive the “restructuring” can be content in the knowledge that the leadership of the company “remains in place.” But the Blue Jays got Jack Morris, and for the bargain basement price of $5.425 million per annum, cheap compared to the Pirates’ Bobby Bonilla (oh, that’s right, this year he’s with the Mets for $5.8 million). The World Series MVP Morris had rationally rejected the poorer offering of his team (the World Champion Minnesota Twins) : $5.375 million. The corporate culture had completed its invasion of baseball a long time ago, but now it had better start asking itseLf a very important uestion - where is the money coming om? Printing tickets is not analogous to ! rinting money; the former does not create money, it merely dilutes an individual’s own supply and concentrates another’s.

forum The bare facts To the editor, I believe I must inform Jay Shorten (letter to the editor, Imprint, Nov. 8, 1991) that in regard to the issues surrounding Gwen Jacob’s situation, he completely missed the point. Certainly I would agree that in our society, going topless in public is inappropriate regardless of gender. Tastelessness, however, is not the portentous concern. What is disturbing is the fact that it is illegal for a woman to b&e her breasts in public, while the same does not hold true for a man Although perhaps being visibly unpleasant, you Jay, would certainly not be arrested for doing the exact same

thing. To be honest, I rarely remove my shirt in public because I feel uncomfortable. Not embarrassed or ashamed, just awkward. But just the same, I do have that option without fear of the persecution to which Ms. Jacob is being subjected. And that, Mr. Shorten, is not even the half of it. Christopher

To the editor, I am writing in response to an article from the November 15,1991, imprint written by Phil Chee and titled’weat is Murder.” My initial reaction to this article was anger and disbelief. I was surprised by my reaction because the principals behind vegetarianism appeal to me and I have often sat nodding with understanding and agreement as my friends have explained why they don’t eat meat. Over the past year I have only bought meat on a handful of occasions because I find meat too expensive for my tight budget. Since the beginning of this work term I have had a small freezer full of meat (my family owns and operates a beef farm and when my mother came to visit she brought a cooler full of meat) which I have barely made a dent in because I have been by preference choosing to cook lighter meals. As my diet has become more vegetarian I have remarked to my friends with a sense of pride that I really seem to notice when I eat meat, as if my body was responding to what I put in it. So why would Phil Chee’s article upset me? Why do I look at the romantic pictire he attempts to paint with nothing but a sense of disbelief and amazeinent? After rereading his article, I decided that it is the facts on which he builds his argument that I disagree with. First of all, it never ceases to amaze me that the general public still believes that tropical rain forests are being destroyed to feed “Western appetites.” Well, let me say it one more time, North American has never and stiIl does not let any meat from South America across its borders unless it is cooked and canned. This restriction has been put in place to protect North American livestock from Hoof and Mouth disease and as a result only a percentage of a percent of all meat sold in North America comes from South America.

The article asks us to “witness the lucrative ranching interests that root up tropical rain forests.“Yes, it is for lucrative reasons that rain forests are uprooted but ranching is not the right answer. Yes, South American meat sells for an incredibly low price of $0.21/ lb. but it is not because they are reaping the benefits of rich newly cleared land; instead, it is because no one is buying, they have no market. So why are the rainforests being destroyed? One of the most lucrative crops being grown on this land is soya beans. A farmer who harvests only three crops of soya beans wiIl have a healthy

bank account

and robbed

the soil of

a.lI its nutrients. Brazil and Argentina produce such a large share of the world soya beans that the success of their crops impacts market prices around the world. Next point, the article states that “most commercially successful beef traders are no longer family-owned farms set on the

memory of temperate forests and rolling grasslands.” Wrong. The majority of beef is grown on family owned farms. Corporate farms do exist but their size has drawn attention disproportionate to the amount of meat they produce: these farms produce such a SW percentage of the industry’s meat that if they alI went out of business tomorrow the market would not flinch. As far as rolling grasslands go, their memory is still alive and doing quite well with 95 per cent of the world’s meat being grown on temperate and arid grasslands. I should add here that 75-90 per cent of the land on which livestock grazes would not be suitable for any other crop due to the climatee, geography of the land, and economics. Which brings me to my next point. “The energy required to produce fertilizer, drugs, pesticides and the water and land needed to support the fodder and animals seems ludicrous as a sustainable economic policy let alone ecological activity.” As our society has begun to move towards becoming more “environmentally friendly” we have discovered how painful it is to discuss ecology and economics in the same breath. How can you put a price tag on a litre of clean water? Should we be discussing dollars and cents when what really matters is Mother Earth? My personal answer is that as long as our Society, both the consumers and producers, makes its choices based on price tags economics must come into the ecological picture. So that leaves me with a very difficult equation to WTap my mind around, as equation that is to me at the heart of the argument for vegetarianism. As I do not feel I know enough about both sides of this equation I cannot answer whether or not producing and consuming meat is a sustainable economic policy or ecological activity. However, I would like to present several questions which I hope wiIl get people thinking about this equation. I must admit that these questions are biased ‘to the beef-producing, meat-eating side of the equation. 1. If the land currently used to produce meat were to be used to produce crops instead, what types of resources would be required to successfully grow-n crops? (By resources I mean nutrients in the soil, fertilizer, pesticides, water, and labour.) 2. AII land on which crops are grown must be rotated back to grass every 2-5 yem in order to maintain the nutrient content of the soil. When a piece of land is in grass, what can it be used for other than to graze livestock, unks we find a way to convince humans to consume grass and grass products? 3. Where would the additional water come from togrowthecrops (iithelandislocatedin an arid climatic zone)? 4. What would substitute the natural fertilizer produced by livestock? 5. Would more or less pesticides be required to grow only crops? Phil addresses a very important issue as he personally tries to “consider where our tastes will lead us.” This is an important question and one that we should alI ask ourselves as what we consume has far reaching effects. I only hope that as we struggle to respond to this issue that we will recognize it&omplexity and make informed decisions. Terra’s greatest enemy is terrae filius’s ignorance.

Reformed? To the editor, When political parties deliberately paint themselves in ambiguous colours, such ambiguity cannot be resolved by asking them

for clarification. This is especially

true regarding

the Reform

Party. The May 3992 issue of Z’%e Rejiimner reported on a speech by Chief PoIicy Office Stephen Harper in which he told members that the Reform Party must learn “from the mistakes of minor parties like the WCC, COR, and CHIT.” Spifically, this means ensuring that their agenda appears “free of extremism.” But the truth is hard to hide. Recent articles in the Imprint (Oct. 11, Oct. 18, 1991) have sought to expose the Reform Party as a rightwing party that uses populist language to cloak its racist policies.

Sandy Atwal cIaimed that the Reform Party is “racist,antiQuebec, and anti-immigration.” But he promptly defused the situation by say-

anyone can think it right to inflict unnecessary pain and death upon living creature to satisfy acraving.

ing that “(i)gnorance and an unwiLlingness to cooperate seem to be the order of the day.” Rather than English Canadian nationalism and growing intolemnce, “the order of the day” is ignorance and sulkiness. Is the Reform Party racist or is it just s,$npIeminded? Sandy leaves us wondering. Mark Heckman’s response (Nov. 22) on behalf of the Waterloo Constituency Association demonstrated why we should not take their words at face value. His string of platitudes is soothing, but not once does he mention Quebec. And yet the fact that there is a constituency association here at all is directly a result of the hysterical reaction that swept English Canada following opposition in Quebec to the squashing of Bill 101. When Quebecois nationalism forced Bourassa to use the “notwithstanding” clause, “distinct society” came to mean the oppression of anglophones. It was only through the national debate over Meech Lake that parties like Reform and COR began to grow significantly. In particular, Reform’s eastward expansion decided last April would never have occured without the widespread beIief that the trouble with Canada is Quebec. Quebec is the touchstone of Canadian politics, and English Canadian nationalism has made anti-Quebecois bigotry a respectable racism. The Reform Party is thoroughly tainted with eis- Their “new model” of Canada treats Quebec, not as an oppressed nation, but as a “special interest group.” So while their policies on muIti-culturalism and immigration hide behind respectable platitudes, we cannot be satisfied so long as the door to their formerly virulent formations is held open by their views on Quebec. It is clear what the growth of the Reform Party has been based on; they positioned themselves at the crest of the anti-Quebec wave, and have turned that into the central axis of their pokics. So it is the denial of the oppression of Quebec that Canadians who fear right-wing politics must challefige.

Meat’s not a treat This letter is in response to the article entitled “Animak Have No Rights” (Imprint, Nov. 22,199l). As a vegetarian, I felt I must respond to Mr. Atwal’s claim that eating animal flesh is perfectly fme; that animals have no rights ‘1 . . simply because animals don’t itlustrate the abiIity to make decisions or have anything of interest to let .us give them said freedom.” His reasoning sounds farnil& to those 19th century politicians and scientists who felt that women did not possess the intelligence or ability to make &cisions and were therefore denied equal rights. Now of course I realize that human beings are inteIlectuaIly more advanced that cows, pigs or chickens, but animals do possess intelligence and just because they cannot speak to us in our own language does not justify their expluit$ion as freezer-wrapped goudies. Contrary to Mr. AtwaI’s claim, PAIN IS REASON ENCXJGHTO NOT EAT MEAT. In my view, the whole point of being a vegetarianjs to remove oneself, in some small way, from the needless exploitation of animals species that has occurred since the advent of domestication. Animals in today’s food industry do not choose to be force-fed, pumped with antibiotics or kept in tiny, dark stdls for their prematurely short lives. Since they cannot say “no,” which is what they would say if given a choice, we must say “no” to meat-eating for them. Some of you reading this letter may be thinking that eating other animals is all part of the natural food chain Sorry to burst your‘ bubble, but today’s f&tory farming in com-

To the editor, I was reading the letters Imprint published some time ago, regarding door persons and bouncers at Fed Hall and the Bomb. They all seemed to have said the same thing, that on many occasions bouncers were out stepping their boundaries or creating problems that did not exist Well, last rock & roll night at the Shelter (Nov. 27), one bouncer did just that. Like many people must do while in a bar, my friend had to relieve himself. When doing his deed, one of the bouncers was present in the washroom observing him by looking over the stall door. Upon exiting the stall, the bouncer concluded that my friend was too drunk based on the “unnatural” way my friend was urinating. The. bouncer then informed him that if he did not put on a button he would have to leave Of course, my friend became somewhat upset, as he felt his basic rights were violated. He argued. with the bouncer and the assistant manager, who appeared in the washroom out of nowhere, that based on the Ontario Liquor Board legislation, a person cannot be kicked out based on the their posture white urinating. thing the whole interrogation, my friend was speaking very coherently and did not use vulgar language with the assistant manager. Although he did tell the bouncer what he could do with himself one time. WelI, he did end up putting on the button, but he basically sat in his chair for the remainder of the evening because he was too upset to enjoy.himseIf.

Dibs on WI6 and MIB To the edikor, I feel compelled to make a few comments in response to Sheena McGrath’s letter in last week’s issue of Imprint. I agree wholeheartedly with Sheena on one count: that the Women’s Issues Board should remahled so named. I can honestly say that in my 6 years at Waterloo, the WTE! has quitefre-

gently maintained a negative stance, from a male point of view, on many issues. To rename a group with such strong bias against men on many issues so that its name implies male representation is an affront to many men on campus. I’m not saying that the WIB are “maIe bashers,” just th# many of their viewpoints to which I’ve been exposed do little to consider the male experience. Now, there may well be many men on campus who work for the WIB, or there may only be a few. I don’t know. But letters, such as Sheena’s, from people who are clearly strong supporters of the group, such as Sheem impdies of herself, will do much to etlSure that few new men joint the WIE’s ranks. L&s consider her bold statements:

i) ‘Women

are the ones who

are dis-

criminated against”. There are two ways this claim is “proven” these days. The involves list@ seveml cases of individual crimination against a woman, presmbly a man, hoping that sheer numbers make

case. This is an appeal to emotion. The second involves looking at the gender make-up of some set of people (say, university professors) and looking at some other group’s gender make-up (say, the general population, or the pool of PhDs) and claiming that, in the absence of discrimination, these make-ups should be identical. This is an appeal to reason. Whether either of these is enough to convince a reasonable person of the claim is not something I wish to address. The point is that we can make the exact same arguments to “prove” that men are discriminated against. We can produce anecdotal evidence of individual discrimination against a man. This will be written off as being the exception, not the rule, by some people. These same people will make anecdotal evidence the rule, not the exception, when it comes to discrimination against a woman. We can also make the statistical argument, even if the argument itself is questionable in “proving” anything. We can look at nursing or NSERC graduate scholarships and conclude men are discriminated against. Sheena should be more careful when maksuch an inflammatory blanket 45 statement. ii) “Women are the ones affected by the decisions of the Board.” This statement seems to be true. But men are indirectly affected by the Women’s Issues Board, because the name of the group seems to imply exclusion of men, and men have no issues board of their own. Presumably, this was the reason for the name change suggestion of the Board. iii) “Male privilege is still a very real thing.” Yes, indeed. There’s the privilege of being the most likely sex to be killed by random violence. Jhere’s the privilege of having a snowball’s chance in hell of getting custody of my children, should I have any, when I get divorced. There’s the privilege of paying gross amounts of alimony under the same circumstances, and now, the government is even considering deducting that directly from my paycheque. There’s the privilege of having to get a “yes” from a potential sex partner, without her having to get a “yes.” There’s the privilege of being the sex that will initiate all dating and sexual activity. There’s the privilege of dying earlier. There’s the privilege of competing for less scholarships per person, or even not being able to get cerfunded scholarships. tain government There’s the privilege of it being assumed that,

Forum in war, I’ll gladly work the front line and die, since I’m expendable, while people gasp at the idea of of my female fellow soldier in the same role. There’s the privilege . . . The point is that men and women both have crosses to bear. If we want to make relations between the sexes more harmonic, then we should focus on making things easier for both sexes. How can the Women’s Issues Board even attempt to claim that this is their goal? Well, upon reading the excerpt of their mandate which was in the Imprint in the announcement of the name change suggestion, one concludes that they don’t make any such claim. Sheena also says that “it is the responsibiity of the sexist (which she has pretty much implied are necez+rily male) to learn more.” I hate to inform her that men are not the only sexist people on the pIanet, or even in Waterloo for that matter, and perhaps we could alI take those words to heart. Perhaps what we really need is a Men’s Issues Board, not a fake male representation in the Women’s Issues Board. The MIB and the VVIB could work together to promote harmony between the sexes, while keeping their own internal focus on men’s issues and Women’s issues, respectively. Sure, we wouldn’t agree on certain issues, and we might even disagree on the importance of certain issues, but that is because of our different experiences. If we learn from each other’s experiences as men and women, we might even be able to get rid of the bullshit that occurs in both directions when men and women relate. Herb Kunze

HuRB, won7 disturb TO the editor, was an idea to change the name of Issues Board to the Genders’ Issues Board. However, without changing the mandate (persondate?) this name change would be a mistake, Why not include women’s issues under the Human Rights Board, as a commission? And There

the Feds’ Women’s

if we can’t do that, why not then set up boards for Native Canadians, Krishnas, or men? Why should women be so special as to have their own issues board on the Federation of Students! HuRB has a purpose to promote “. . human rights as outlined in the Canadian Charter of Rights.” To me, and maybe I’m wrong, these human rights would include equality based on race, creed, and colour, as well as age, sex, and religion. Why then must we sexually disc riminate by having a Women’s tssues Board! I have been told that I don’t know what WIB does and I admit this to be true. HoweveT, I do know what WIB’s purpose is. And that purpose is clearly biased against men. I am not anti-women, I am proqquality and that is why I am so upset at the existence of a Women’s hues Board Ifit is true that women are a minority group, then adding a Genders Commission to WlB is simply masking the problem.

Maybe it is just those damn human emotions acting up again. Damn inconvenient quality. Without them we could have fun, do whatever we wanted to anything we didn’t like. We could test turpentine on Budgies, eat Monkey Burgers, the Gulf War could be an annual event! So long as it was “morally” respectable. Maybe there is a reason for the guilty feelings Sandy has when he thinks about factory farming, when others talk about their vegetarianism. Maybe his emotions are trying to tell him something. Unfortunately for Sandy, morality doesn’t exist in a mental .vacuum - everyone has a heart that affects their actions. So when mascara comes “consumer safe,” meat without bowels attached, and wars without mangled bodies, some of us will do the right thing and reject them. You can too, its your choice.

Mike Abramczuk 3N Math

Elect to Reject To the editor, I would like to point out a few lapses which Sandy Atwal makes in his “Animals Have No Rights” article. Firstly, with his remarks on the valuelessness of rocks, he neglects to realize the direct

causal relationship

between

rocks and him-

self. With the recession of glacial ice, rocks and boulders are crushed, the nutrients and minerals within them being then retained in the soil they create. Needless to say, without this soil, there would be no plant life and subsequently no animal life - including Sandy and myself. Secondly, Sandy lapses in his assertion that he himself kills the animals that he eats. While he could offer up some palsy economic argument stating that “I paid for it therefore I did it,“the fact remains that he doesn’t actually kill his meat, I doubt he ever has, ever will, or even could look into the eyes of a frightened cow and proceed to beat it into unconsciousness and cut its throat.

“Pop culture is politics, and politics is pop culture . . . . During the Reagan years, this fact was most visible in the remarkable way pop culture - television and movies especially served as the medium for implementing Reaganaut ideology.” - Danny Duncan Collum, Sojourners, January 1992. To begin the new year and the new term, it may be prudent to return to this column’s first principles. “Media Surfing” is based on the desire to take a critical approach to culture, no more and no less. There is no hidden agenda, no message I wish to propagate, no ideology. I have my biases, sure, and Ite probably got more than a healthy cynicism. But I’m not on the one hand particularly idealistic, or on the other particularly nihilistic. If I believe in anything, it is that the constant interplay of culture affects our lives and thus we ought to pay attention to it. Says ColIum: ‘This interplay of cornmercial interests, official ideology, and popular self-expression makes the popular culture of the American people an especially vital battleground in the war for the American future. That war is, as it has always been, orie between interests that see the masses of people as economic vassals (worker-consumerdrones), and those that see the people as sovereigns of society destined to create their own world by God-given right. “The former forces will always seek to use cultural expression to demean, trivialize, and divide the mass audience. The latter will seek always to ennoble and unite it. Both impulses are visible (and audible) on a daiIy basis in American TV, pop music, and movies.” And that is what this column is most often about. It is, of course, too optimistic to hope that university students are above the workerconsumer-drone syndrome. Try as Imprint might, for example, to break students’ established record buying patterns, this newspaper’s record reviews are still seen by

(dare-I &y it?) the vast majority of students as esoteric bordering on freakish. They are definitely fascist, propagating the tastes of the few over the disbelieving cries of the many. But, ironically perhaps, it is a credit to liberty that they exist. What is marginal, alternative, outside of mall culture and’probably even weird by its own definition, these are things that Danny Duncan Collum (and I agree with him) would call ennobling to the human spirit. They call into question the structure of society and culWe, the same thin% after aI1.

TODAY Friday, Jan. 10 in CC140

On Rattle and Him, “God II,” Bono sings: “I don’t believe that rock and roll can really change the world / spins in revolutions, spirals and it turns.” And it’s true. Real change takes place in socio-political realms. Culture, however, can have a much more profound effect. It can sustain or even create hope, the base and inspiration for all change.

And change is needed. Some of the sociopolitical issues this column has attempted to address include gender power politics, political power politics, economic versus social power politics, imagology as ideology, sex and the new beer commercial. Power relations have been heavy on my mind. Politics is always about power, and as far as culture is political, it is also abqut power. The presentation of reality often gets taken for reality itself. T&t this is dangerous ought to go without saying. “Demeaning, trivializing and dividing the mass audience,” as CoIlum says, is a favourite pastime of corporate America. Anyone who saw the piece on “A Current Affair” on Milwaukee Beer’s Swedish Bikini Beach Volleyball Team and who has any sympathy for the relation between the presentation of women in North American culture and the social, emotional and physical violence against women in the same culture will surely understand. The only reality such images of women represent are the fantasies of preadolescence. Will the culture ever mature? It begins with you.

Aurora Borealis The forests are quiet once again. The luckIess deciduous trees have surrendered their possessions in the annual cycle that heralds nature’s sleep. The birds are gone now. It is a rhythmic order this changing of the seasons. Fortuitous circumstance endows these latihdes with the wonder and beauty of the equinox and solstice. The tropics have their seasons, wet and dry they may be; the frozen poles have their days and nights in the most extreme. But our lifeways, centred around the worship of the global market, obscures this complex natural drama and replaces it with the simplistic script of buyer and seller. Terms of political discourse are no longer redolent of the organ&m of human relations, a true social ecology, but with the abstractions of la&z-faire economics. A highly variegated natural landscape with ail the diversity and cultural elaboration that natural and social evolution can further, is levelled by an irrational urbanization, driven by the engines of capitalism. I was a passenger in a car driving from Montreal to Toronto the other day. The darkness of night blankets your perception and only the beams from other cars pass by your attention.

The juxtaposition of this natural piece /of artwork on a carbon and sulphur dioxide muted canvas filIed me with winder, irony, and sadness., I’m sure some other drivers peered in front of them and marvelled. And others were oblivious, an incomprehensible haze glancing off their perception. What have we lost along this journey? For us who live in the “developed world” it may seem that we have attained all the desiderata of the “good life.” But I cbflenge this dictum of received wisdom. We live in a corporatist and statist world. We no longer feel at home and in place, wherever we may be born or end up living. Our freedom is a poor refIection of the antiquated ideal that first emerged two millennia ago in the Hellenic archipeIago. Our sense of being a complete humm being, heir of the Renaissance, is slowly dissolving into the World Machine, creating the mass products for the mass society. Our petty nationalistic and statist bickering ’ (assuredly not political in arty sense or meaning PerikIes must be dying a thousand deaths in Hades) is evidence of a regression to a simplified and naive social world of the past, a past where patriarchal domination, racism, and parochialism in its worst sense, were part of the daiIy social dispensation. We no longer recognize the alternatives that the Medieval communes, the Great French Revolution, the Paris Commune, or the Spanish Anarchists presented t& history, as we try to resist the senseless urbanization of today.

AreMidwives all that Bad? by Dr. Wendy Powell and IDouglas Powell

specialto imprint

Hospitals are for sick people. Women about to bear children are not sick; they are in labour. Therefore, labouring women should not be in hospitals. Yet most North American women give. birth in an institutionalized setting - either hospital or birthing centre - an observation that underscores a cultural apprehension of biological phenomena, speaks to the ascent of technological mythology in Western culture, dictates the birth and, unfortunately, experience of most parents. Last November’s passage of provincial legislation that established midwifery as a self-regulated profession and last spring’s acquittal of two British Columbia midwives by the Supreme Court on charges stemming from a homebirth have once again brought the issue of midwifery and homebirths to national prominence. But controversy surrounding midwives is certainly not new. Female midwives have always served as Q the conduit for fetal travel from womb to air (or water if you’re a fan of Frederick LeBoyer); at least until early 17th century France when males came to be instructed in the art of midwifery. But the issue here isn’t sex. It is one of philosophy, birth as a natural phenomena to be nurtured, or birth as a pathological manifestation to be expedited. The history of intervention in normal childbirth, beginning about the 16th century, is one of questionable good. Ergot, a drug of fungal origin that stimulates uterine contractions, was used extensively in the early 19th century. However, the induced contractions had a tendency to kill the fetus, and its use+was eventually dropped. At the turn of this century, US hospitals developed a fervor for cleanliness that included numerous douches which only served to spread any infection that may have

been present. Shortly thereafter, normal labor became characterized by morphine for mom at the beginning, and either chloroform or ether at the end. We think of these as archaic aberrations; yet how will anthropologists view the late 20th century with respect to childbirth and our mythologies? Ergot has been replaced by the pitocin drip to cause induction in women whose gestation is,deemed too long, or labor is deemed too

cal procedure in the Western world. Studies have demonstrated that they do not decrease the l.ike@umd of a woman tearing in fact, an episiotomy is itself a tear, but along artificiallyinduced boundaries rather than naturally occurring weak areas of tissue. Thisisthestuffofmyths. Birth is no longer seen as a physiological process that occasionally needs assistance, but as a pathological event that is normal only in retrospect. The kinder, gentler hospital is

“a percentage of births require medica. assistance and midwives are trained to specifically detect such complications” slow (pitocin is a synthetic version of oxytocin, the hormone that causes uterine contractions). Morphine has been replaced by the epidural. And the routine forceps for all deliveries regardless of difficulty, f&t espoused by Dr. Joseph DeLee of Chicago in 1920, have been replaced by the routine episiotomy, a scalpel cut of the vaginal muscle, from stem to stem, so to speak. It hurts. And is usually unnecessary. Yet episiotomies remain the most common surgi-

simply not a reality. The cascade of intervention is. Undoubtedly, a percentage of births require medical assistance, and midwives are trained to specifically detect such complications weli before they actually occur. Or they should be. What the BC case demonstrated, more than anything, is the need for a regulated profession. In January, 1991, a report commissioned by Alberta’s health disciplines board concluded that while no evidence exists to say whether

hospital births are either safer or less safe than home births, there is some evidence that home deliveries “can be done safely as long as the birth is planned and the mother gets proper care before and during the event” An earlier study by researchers at the University of British Columbia reached similar conclusions, that nurse midwives “provide more adequate and comprehensive care to pregnant women than family physicians do.” Canada is the only Western nation that still fails to legally recognize midwifery as a viable health-care option. However, with the passing of the Health Professions Regulations Act, Ontario has now legalized midwifery (previously it was neither legal nor illegal; midwifery existed in a legal vacuum), With the emotional, physiological, and economic (homebirths are significantly cheaper than hospital births) benefits of midwives, other provinces need to enact similar legislation to establish midwifery as an autonomous profession and ensure adequate accessibility. Homebirth itself demands a high level of consumer commitment and is certainly not for everybody. But homebirths represent more than incremental improvements - like birthing chairs and flowered wallpaper - to fundamentally flawed approaches and outdated paradigms. As a norm, birth is not a pathological .situation and should not be treated as such. And unlike in an institutional setting. the father is as important in the labour and delivery as he was in conception.

Say it in German from UW News Bureau You have to say it in German at a local cable TV show hosted by a University of Waterloo professor of Germanic and Slavic languages. The one-hour show is called “Drehscheibe Europa” and “Diskussion zur Drehscheibe.” The first halfhour features news from German TV, followed by a panel led by Prof. Frank Jakobsh, who also introduces the news segment. “We try to have stimulating thought and conversation,” Jakobsh says. “It’s a program of informative material on Germany and a discussion on whatever interests us.” So far, response to the show has been enthusiastic both from students as well as from the local community, the professor reports. Tapings are conducted at UW’s Davis Centre. “It is a fascinating experience to be sitting in front of a TV camera,” he says. “It’s so unlike being in the classroom, where students provide you with visual feedback on what you’re doing. You are always aware whether what you say registers with them or not.” Earlier this year, the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages was approached by Rogers Cable TV about producing an information program aimed primarily at the local -German community. Jakobsh was designated by his department to host the show. “I select the panelists and I usually see to it that one of my colleagues in the department is involved,” Jakobsh says, Other panel members are drawn from the community. The monthly program was launched last September, with a look at Mennonites in Canada, Germany, the former Soviet Union and South

America. The second show focused on Germans in Transylvania, a region RoIMnia where so-called ill peripheral Germans live. ‘Most Germans in Canada - in fact, 90 per cent - are not from Germany itself, but from the peripheral regions,” Jakobsh says. ‘They come from Eastern Europe, Russia and other seas ,, l

He says it is interesting

that . German traditions ‘uch ? weddm6s and festivals are stronger m the penphery rather than Gexmany, itself. “In Germaiiy, these traditions have been lost in the postwar era with the influence of American culture and the integration with the wider European community.” In peripheral areas, however, Germanic traditions have been practised

to a much greater degree during the same period, he says. This month, the show examined the touchy question of racism surfacing in Germany against mostly visible minorities and foreigners. “Germans are very sensitive about it because of their past,” Jakobsh says. “The show seems like a natural outlet for what we do on campus,” he says. T?artly, we owe the existence of our department to the local German community.” One of the largest Germanic and Slavic departments in the country, UW’s program provides undergraduate and graduate comes in language, literature and culture. Besides German, it offers Russian, Dutch, Polish, Ukrainian and Croatian.

Accountants score big from

UW News

Bureau

Seven University of Waterloo graduates placed in Ontario’s top 20 for the national Uniform Final Exam in chartered accountancy heId this fall. First spot in Ontario went to UW graduate Rosemary Chiu, with the second place captured by colleague Teresa Walterhouse. Both were enrolled in the master’s program offered by the School of Accountancy. Students at UW can work toward a chartered accounting professional designation in the faculty of arts and the faculty of mathematics. Rounded out the UW list: Deborah Foote (6th - BMath); Walter Jankovic

(11 th - master’s); Barbara Chiu (12th master’s); Cindy Veinot (13th - master’s); and Alan Brett (18th - BA). Randy Klawitter, CA program administrator in UW’s co-operative education and careers services, said: “I like to think the co-op aspect has had an impact in the high placings for so many UW studerK’ Prof. David Carter, undergraduate officer in the School of Accountancy, said the exam results reflect “very well on the quaIity of students at u-w.” The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario, which administers theJJFE in the province, will award the gold medal to Rosemary Chiu and the silver one to Walterhouse.

Early K-W history subject of new book

from UW News Bureau

Here’s a new book for the history buff or antique collector: Fm1n

hrr.ylrmr~ia

~?.~-~~~ania-G~~nan

Waitdw, PmFolk Culturt~ irt

Tramitiun . Just published by the Friends of the Joseph Schneider Haus, the book draws on papers from a symposium held last summer to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the historical home, It includes illustrations and color pictures of folk treasures. Several University of Waterloo professors contributed to the largeformat publication, co-edited by Schneider Haus curator Susan Burke and UW anthropologist Matthew Hill. Priced at $29.95, it’s available at Provident Bookstore, Words Worth Books and the UW bookstore.

Among them is historian Kenneth McLaughlin, also vice-president and academic dean at St. Jerome’s College, a UW-federated institution. He writes on the early white settlement in Waterloo County, noting simkities between Germans from PennsyIvania and directly from Europe. ‘The whole idea is to explore the development in the United States and in Canada of a distinctive Germanic lifestyle,” McLaughlin says. “For the first time ever, the symposium brought together experts from both sides of the border to discuss this diverse cultural tradition.” Besides historians, he says the book will appeal to folklorists, antique collectors and even gourmets. “Personally, what intrigued me were Edna Staebler’s contribution about

local food customs and Nancy Roan’s on Pennsylvania-Mennonite food.” In his article, McLaughlin shows how much Mennonites&d Germans have in common especially through the folk-art created mainly by their women. Folk-art is insightful because both groups didn’t leave behind “massive volumes” of diaries and journals. ‘There has been a much closer relationship among those people than historians have ever thought,” he says. In the 19th century, local Germans were more rural than usually believed, while many Mennonites were firmIy integrated in urban life. Other UW faculty involved in the project were Prof. Michael Bird, of religious studies, Prof. Stan Johannesen, of history, and Prof. John English, of history.

UW residential

students

raise funds for charity

Undaunted by the deep recession, University of Waterloo students living in the village residences have just ended a successful campaign for a local charity. They raised $12,000 in a six-week campaign this fall, complete with a benefit semi-formal held at the local night spot, The Twist About 730 students, most of them villagers, attended the Nov. 15 event. 0ther money-raising events included a pie-throwing contest, a raffle and a bottle-collecting effort in Waterloo neighborhoods. In the past 12 years, the village residents have raised a total of about $275,000 for local charities. Students adopt one charity every year; this year, it was the Sunbeam Residential Development Centre. ‘It was a chance for the villagers to put something back in the community,” says Sue Crack, a residence don and chair of the campaign’s organizing committee. “I think that the villagers sometimes get a bad name with the residents around campus. We want to do something positive.” Crack said the 46 dons in Villages 1 and 2 are involved in running the fund-raising campaign, which takes around six months to plan and implement. / Planning students at UW help Guelph city planners Students at the University of Waterloo’s School of Urban and Regional Planning are lending a hand at Guelph city hall with a major road study. The three students wilI conduct a study of Gordon Street, once the main southern entrance to Guelph. It will focus on the corridor between Stone Road, just south of the University of Guelph, and Hi&way 401. Their assistance was first suggested by Karen Hammond, a lecturer at UW’s planning school and a Guelph resident. She is also a member of the Guelph Planning Advisory Committee. “As a member of the committee, I found that we didn’t have any guidelines to follow to ensure that a development was positive,“HFmond says. But the city didn’t have the money to devise them. The fourth-year students will present their fmdings next April before city council They will receive credit toward a senior studio course called landscape pIanning. “I thought it would be an excelIent project for senior students who can actually apply some of their knowledge,” she says. “It’s also exciting because they have to interview some high-profile people.” The students - Tracey Decks, Margaret Choi and Andrea Rousova will conduct both visual and landscape analysis of the target area. In January, they wiU hold two charettes - brainstorming sessions - with students from the University of Guelph’s School of Landscape Architecture. ‘The idea is to develop new landscape and land use concepts for the corridor,” Hammond says. Travel

for credit programs

offered

Several travel study programs for academic credit are being offered next year by the University of Waterloo: - Columbus and the Atlantic World since 1492 is the theme of the history program offered through UW’s continuing education department. While travelling through Spain, Portugal and Italy, the class participants will learn about the world of Columbus and the explorers of the late 15th and early 16th centurim and their impact on the New World. The cost of the threeweek trip, from Aug* 9 to 30, is $3,695. For information, caII888-4002. - ReIigion and Culture in the Middle East is a full-credit course offered by UW’s religious studies department. The travellers will visit Egypt, Sinai and Athens to study the histoT, life, culture and religious dive&y of the Middle East. Prerequisites include third-year standing, completed courses in religious studies, and required readings. The price of the three-week trip from April 24 to May 15 is $2,500 ( maximum). Information is available from Prof. Daniel S&as, 885-l 211, ext. 3565 or 2440. - Music and Culture in Vienna is offered by &e music department at UW’s Conrad Grebel College. The trip next spring wiIl include evening concerts and operas, a tour of Vienna, cruise down the Danube and excursions to art museums and palaces. Estimated cost is $2,000.

I 1 B

by John Hymers Imprint staff at large Leuven, Belgium

Heaven knows I’m mecneval now

Well, this story was supposed to be about the Smiths Convention in Paris on October 39, but my funds dried up - or more accurately, got liquidated into beer - and I could not make the five-hour train trip. So instead accepting an invitation to travel to Scotland with a bunch of Glasgow Celtic supporters whom I met while they were destroying my favourite bar here in Leuven, I stayed in town and heard Professor Dr. Umberto Eco speak. (By the way, I out-drank those Scottish wankers, for they left at a rather young 4 am in search of the red-light district; I pointed them in the direction of the Priory at the edge of tow-n and ordered another Kilkenny.) Eco is a man of some repute in many fields. His more popular fame is the result of his two rather dense novels: TheNumeuf the Rose, and more recently, the superb Foucuultsk Pendulum. Both novels showcase another claim to fame: as part-time Mediaevelists go, he has no equal. In Italy, he is a respected newspaper columnist with an acute accent on social observation. Yet he created his professional reputation in semiotics, which he teaches at the University of Milan. Eco’s talk at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven was in the form of three one-hour lectures, spread over three days, and an open forum that was held in whatever language each speaker addressed the polyglot Eco. I myself only attended the third and final Iecture, which dealt with the problem of translation and the so-called perfect language. Perfect Language is that utopian language that would of necessity be understood by everybody on earth. A language such as Esperanto does not count as Perfect Language, because besides being synthetic, it would have to be taught. Perfect Language would be innate within the speaker - think of it as the language that Adam @co’s example) would have spoken with God. The search is concerned with finding this language. Semantics are an important piece of this or any - language. Eco defined structural semantics as a describable system of the form of the content; such a definition also illustrates the basic essence of grammar. The quest for Perfect Language, then, is dedicated to finding a Universal Grammar, a system of semantics that would be understood by all. Nowadays, this search is conducted on the plane of syntax by thinkers such as Noam Chomsky, with the goal of finding universal similarities. This grammar of ideas can, at the present, describe the difference between high and low - fairly ubiquitous human observations but utterly fails at the level of contextual nouns; for instance> the difference between a bishop and a hippopotamus. Hence, context is the bane of the Universal Grammar of Ideas. To get around such a problem, the Theory of Rigid Designation (TRD) was proposed. In the theory, recounts Eco, a category (name) refers to an essence that is not stipulated by any definition. The category results from a “baptismal ceremony.” Again, the allusion to Adam pops up: Adam’s naming of the creatures of earth (Genesis 2.19) resulted in their true names. The various names we use now are all accidental corruptions coming from the imperfections in our prehistoric, historic, and contemporary languages. TRD was an attempt to banish context by claiming it is of no true consequence; a Perfect Language exists

in which

everybody

understands

the

proper context. TRD is the basis for Radical Translation. When Captain Cooke landed in Australia and was confronted for the first time by the Aborigines (is that the politically correct term?) and by a strange animal, he looked at a representative of the 20,000 year old people and then pointed toward the animal. The

Eco conference

a resounding

success

Aborigine responded “kangaroo,” whereupon the word entered the English lexicon. This technique was Radical Translation. But the great problem with the Australian example is the complete uncertainty regarding the accuracy of the question itself, whether such a thought crossed Cooke’s mind or not. The Aborigine

might have totally

misinterpreted Cooke’s question (the pointed finger). He could have thought Cooke was pointing at something behind the kangaroo, or at the action of the kangaroo (hopping), or perhaps the spot to which Cooke pointed was sacred. Even was the possibility that Cooke’s pointing was considered rude, and hence the word “kangaroo” could have been a response

in kind. Cooke’s naming the animal from the data he received was also an example of another critical problem in Radical Translation: the Analytic Hupothesis. He called it a kangaroo with out really knowing what the answer meant, and thus proved that the nature of his translation “handbook” determines the form of its content (even if the book had onIy one entry as of yet). He assumed one thing, and thus his translation reflects this entire assumption. So much for a context-free translation and TRD. From this point, Eco went into a full frontal attack against Perfect Language. He described every culture as a territory, which is held by a

strong centre. At the centre is something relatively eternal (for example, two plus two equals four) and peripheraI discoveries very rarely shake this centre. This phenomenon is known as the Law of the Excluded Middle. (Such an argument is not meant to argue the permanence of culture - we know cultures collapse.) Translatability depends on soundness of meaning and hence on the so-called centre of culture. Here a grave error of Perfect Language is exposed: translation does not hinge upon commensurability of language, but upon comparability. It is comparability that allows us to speak of meaning, especially within the context of translation. Think of the French word buis; it does not have the English exact equivalent of timber, of forest, nor of woods - to translate it, we cannot depend on TRD, on context-free translation. We would have to understand the context of the Frenchman’s understanding when we pointed to the bois in order to know his answer was the answer to our query. To Eco, understanding a language is like learning a town by walking around in it, with a map. The places we come across (the words in language) are dictated both by the placement of the streets and by the sites’ placement on those streets (grammar). Thus do the definitions within language depend on the structure of language itself; just as the Huether must be on the comer of King and Princess due to the pre-existing road structure, so must the meaning of the verb “to hit” depend on the pre-existing grammar of English. We could not think of the Huether (qua the building itself) being anywhere else, nor, equally, could we think of the verb “to hit” meaning anything else: the structure determines the content, as the Analytic Hypothesis illustrates to the chagrin of Radical Translation. Context matters. If the Huether could move, we would need a new map; if “to hit,” a new understanding of our grammar. Now, obviously, words change meaning, but this does not weaken the argument: when a word changes, it is not a pre-meditated synthetic change, but the result of enough speakers adopting a new meaning. This illustrates a shift in language, not the word, and hence the new content still is bound to the form of the language. If the content is bound to such mundane rules, it is obvious that Radical Translation is not possible at all. In fact, the best that Radical Translation can do is prescribe the meanings of a foreign language. And when read in the translated language, these prescribed meanings are merely descriptions of the biases inherent within the translator; these prescribed meanings are completely the products of Radical Translation. In short, the quest for Perfect Language is circular because abandoning the idea of context is silly. Denying context is obviously possible, but doomed to failure because language itself is completely contextual. And though one may deny context in language, one is tied to context . . . and so on. Vernaculars, regardless of whether Adam had a unique language (and of course whether he existed), are part of the human scene. To deny context and to accept the vernacular is patently ridiculous because it is context that gave birth to the vernacular. The quest for Perfect Language will never reach its grail because of context, and context necessarily implies that a Universal Grammar is impossible. Such went the talk of Umberto Eco. Any m.istakes are probably the result of my lessthan-perfect understanding of his lecture, a l-e, by the way, that was the result of his working papers for his next book, due sometime in 1992.

With a referendum on a new student l(fe centre proposal slated fur January 28 and 29, the issue of how studentfirnded faciliks are designed and built has again appeared. In this article, Imprint summarizes fhe planning and deveky men t pnxesses of Federation Hull, the last building to be built with student money.

These features were cancelled from the design of the building mid-stream without the general student body knowing what was going

In November, 1983, completion was delayed four months because tenders exceeded the project and the architects needed to redesign. Later, $400,000 had to be shaved from the budget by making 61 minor revisions. The loan for the $1.5 million construction cost and other operating expenses of $110,000 would take 20 years to pay back and would be funded by a $7.50 per term, per student levy. As well, Federation Hal1 would need an annual gross of $847,000 to break even.

Hall, since it’s first proin 1982, caused disagreements regarding fees and the building’s importance. The building went through many referendums and three different opening dates due to countless revisions and additions, and the budget changed often as well. Although Fed Hall ended up as a SUCcess for University of Waterloo students, it was through various unnecessary complications that this was accomplished. The early stages of design and cost analvsis saw beneficial ideas and, wt& the students thought to be,

reasonable budget plans. The facility would provide more student jobs since it was, more or iess, student run, cheaper alcohol and event tickets because Federation Board of Entertainment (BEnt) events would not be serviced by Bar services, and facilities for conventions, formals, and exams.

Referendums in 1983 suggested an overwhelming ’ majority in favour of this new building, one that would have students involved in the decision-making process and be student-funded. The construction contract was, &iven I to Lavem

Rasmussen, whose $1.5 million bid, $1.2 million for the building itself and $300,000 for furnishings, was originally projected to be $60,000 under budget. The design called for a barn-style pub that included a basement for conferences, a big kitchen, a half-horseshoe bar, and a tunnel connecting the building to the University’s main system. But as earIy as late-1983, the Federation realized that the budget was unrealistic.

Despite student protests about the exclusive invite to the opening of Federation Hall, the night was a huge success. Federation Hall’s large capacity, large dance floor, and better sound system forced the Bombshelter’s business to drop 66 per cent. Throughout&e th>ee years of problems concerning design, cost analysis, and construction of Federation Hall, the main people dealing with decisions and to whom accusations were made regarding their accessibility of information deny all such conclusions. Primarily, Federation of Students president during 1983, Tom Alison, stated that it was in students’best interest that they not be informed of budget revisions and redesign decisions because of expediency. Just a couple of years earher, Columbia Icefield, also built primarily with student money, ended up smaller than originally proposed with a running track around the rink and much larger spectator capacity being scrapped.

Smart, cockt-ails by Douglas sped

says

“I’m very skeptical that you can make people smarter than they are naturally,” Vanderwolf. “To actually take a person who is in good health, fully awake and alert, and then try and improve whatever mental capacity you have, has never been done in a non-trivial way, and I’m rather skeptical that it is possible.”

PowelI to lmpIint

Mind Mix. Memory Fuel. Rise and Shine. These are just a few of the cocktails now being served in several California nightclubs. Patrons say the drinks improve their concentration, allow them to better distinguish sights and sounds, and “wake up their minds.” But if there is one thing that both the serious advocates and critics of cognitive enhancers - or smart drugs - agree upon, it is that these drinks are probably exerting a placebo effect; customers expect to become more alert, so they do. However, away from the glare of California party scene, a much more realistic debate is being waged: to what extent can pharmacot ogy enhance the capabilities of the human brain? On one side are scientists who are keenly interested in developing therapies to combat cerebral decay wrought by age and such diseases as Alzheimer’s. On the other side is a group who want to take these same findings and apply them to healthy humans in hopes of boosting their mental faculties. This group is part of a new counterculture that is young, hip and, unlike the majority of their 1960s predecessors, scientific. Smart drugs are compounds like lecithin, phenylalanine, and tryptophan, precursor molecules which are metabolized in normal brain cells to yield acetylcholine, noradrenaline, and dopamine. The latter compounds are neurotransmitters, which carry electrical impulses from one nerve cell to another in specific regions of the brain. Because these molecules have been found to have a role in memory and learning, proponents argue that consuming high doses of chemical precursors will increase neurotransmitter synthesis in the brain and enhance cognitive function. These compounds have been available in health-food stores for years. The smart drinks that have become popular in California often contain high doses of choline or other amino acid precursors mixed with juice.

About 30 purported cognition enhancers are listed in Smart Drugs & Nutrients, a recent book (1991) by Ward Dean, medical director of the Centre for Biogerontology in Pensacola, Fla., and journalist John Morgenthaler. According to Megabrain Report, a newsletter based in Sausalito, Calif., several nootropic drugs are now being tested now on humans including vinpocetine (being developed by Ayerst Lboratories), which speeds up leaming and improves memory; aniracetam (Hoffman-La Roche), which appears to be about ten times more potent in improving and protecting memory than piracetam; (Warner-Lambert/Parke pramiracetam Davis), which seems to improve learning and memory by enhancing the firing of neurons in the hippocampus; and oxiracetam (CibaGeigy), apparently two to three times as powerful as piracetam. All of these substances seem nontoxic and free of side-effects. How they work, though, remains a mystery.

But there are another class of compounds called nootropics, derived from the Greek words noos (mind) and tropein (t-urn) to literally mean “acting on the mind.” Although nootropics have not been approved for sale in North America, they are quite popular in Europe. Tests in the early 2970s with a nootropic called piracetam pointed to an increase in leaning activity in mice who were given the compound. Piracetam, developed by UCB I&oratories in Belgium, enhances cognition under conditions of hypoxia (too little oxygen), and outside North America is used to treat alcoholism, stroke, vertigo, senile dementia, sickle cell anemia, dyslexia, and numerous other health problems.

Advocates maintain the United States Food and Drug Administration has refused to license nootropics because they are simply not interested in drugs that enhance people’s abilities. But Hans Fibiger, professor and acting head of the department of psychiatry at the University of British Columbia has a different explanation. “My strong suspicion is that the reason they haven’t been approved in North America is that it is impossible to demonstrate any reliable efficacy,” he says. “There are people who claim, for instance, that by giving lecithin you can get more acetylcholine synthesized and released in the brain. That is nonsense. The data don’t show that.”

Pharmacology..

. shaken, not stirred Although they have yet to be officially sanction&, the FDA does allows the irnpotition of a three-month personal supply of drugs considered safe in other countries. Nootropics are available to Canadian and US residents through mail-order houses in Mexico, the United Kingdom, and other European countries.

mental steroids Dr. Case Vanderwolf, a professor in the department of psychology at the University of Western Ontario, explains that excitement in this area dates back to 1976, when researchers in the UK discovered a somewhat specific defect of acetylcholine in the brains of deceased Alzheimer’s patients or other dementiaa Resear&ers have subsequently tied various ways to boost acetylcholine production in the nervous systems of people suffering from dementia: using precursors like choline or lecithin; drugs that imitate the action of acetylcholine; or drugs that block its destruction. The efforts to date have been unsuccessful. Fibiger argues that because the target cells themselves are damaged, the amount of acetylcholine availabIe becomes irrelevant. But even if the cognition of an BO-year-old be improved (there are some examples in the literature), can those same techniques be expected to work in a 20-year-old?

URIF funds five UW-industry I from UW News Bureau University of Waterloo scientists have received more than $267,000 from Ontario’s University Research Incentives Fund to carry out five projects in co-operation with indw fry. UW researchers in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, and Electrical and Computer Engineering have joined forces with the private sector to conduct research in manufacturiw high technology and aerospace. In one project, Prof. Joseph Howard, of mechanical engineering, is working on aerospace research, sponsored by Pratt and Whitney Canada. The idea is to develop better turbine blades for jet engines to improve fuel efficiency. “The investigation will lead to smafle;,

lighter aircraft engines with higher power,” Howard said. “It focuses on a more eficient and smaller turbine blade section - we are working on an idea that is suntlosed to 11 improv: its efficiency.” The project, “Expetiental Study of Splitters in High-Flare Turbine Blading,” has received $12,500 under the URIF program.

For Max More, a PhD student in philosophy at the University of Southern California and editor of a newsletter calIed &lr0~~, nootropics are simply one way to push the boundaries of human knowledge. Others include artificial or virtual reality, nanotechnology, and the use of computers as extensions of the human brain. While publications like the Berkeley, Calif.-based Mundo 2ooO (the hip magazine for those in the bow) cover many of these “cyberpunk” trends, Extropy is more interested in the philosophical basis and implications of these new technologies. “The Extropy readership is characterized by people who are into learning as much as possible,” says More. “Any technology which can push back human limits.” Although More takes daily doses of choline, piracetam (available by mail-order) and dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE, another acetylcholine precursor), which work in a synergistic manner, he has yet to notice any real effects; certainly a smart cocktail is not going to make much of a cognitive difference. “I’m doing it for the long-term, preventative benefits,” says More. “The effects are quite subtle.” Nevertheless, others maintain that clinical studies with humans have shown that piracetam tiproves the integration of information processing improves attention span and concentration, and can produce dramatic improvements in both direct and delayed recall of verbal learning. But Fibiger points to the difference between statistical significance and clinical significance. He says they are numerous examples of drugs that produce a statistically significant effect in the lab, but do not produce an effect that really helps, such as improving the quality of life. “It’s close to being fringe pharmacology,” says Fibiger. “My sense with nootropics is that perhaps, if you did enough batteries of neuropsychological tests in humans you could say ‘yes, yes, the score on this test went from 7.5 to 7.9 with a significant probability of less than 0.05 using 200 subjects.’ In the real world, that improvement wouldn’t mean a damn thing.”

OUAA West Basketball Preview ‘. Western and Guelph are no longer the shoe-ins by Rich Nichol Imprint sports If you are looking for some intense hoops action this year in the CIAU, you have to look no further than the OUAA West. Last year, Canada’s toughest division spawned two representatives at the nationals, Wetern and Guelph, who finished first and second. But now in 1992, these two teams are no longer shoeins for the road to Halifax in March. If there has ever been a great deal of parity in the OUAA West, it is this season. Two teams are currently ranked among the top ten in Canada - Brock is fifth and McMaster is eighth and Guelph, Waterloo, and Western are just bubbling under. So it will be an exciting and close battle for the division pennant.

Here now is a brief scouting on each team:

report

h Brock developed into the highest scoring team from inside last season. And the Badgers have already praven to the rest of the country that they will be one of the most potent offences in the CIAU in 1992. Many of their exhibition bouts have been won by at least 100 points while keeping the opposition below 90. A great deal of that success has come from highly-touted freshman Brian Bleich who took unanimous MVP awards at the Guelph Tip-Off Tourney and the Brock Invitational. Back with a vengeance is the league’s premier centre Gord Wood - tops in rebounding and field goal percentage over the past two years. Previously shallow at guard, the Badgers have strengthened the perimeter with the recruitment of 6’3” hometown product AIIen MacDougall and 6’1” Dave &ton. Both play well in a 2-3 zone defence. They will join aggressive senior guard Rob DeMott and energetic junior Glen Tone, who are always dangerous on the drive, No. Name 14 Glen Tone 22 Gord Wood 24 Pat Sullivan 31 Dave Picton 32 Rob DeMott 33 Brian Bleich 34 Allen MacDougaII 51 Joe Dekker 52 Stath Koumoutseas 53 Kevin Stevenson 54 Mike I’uIIar 55 Jamie Huebert-

After the Gryphons were awarded back-to-back silver medals at the nationals in the past two years, they will get one last chance to transform from bridesmaid to bride. Two-time all-Canadian Tim Mau is now in his senior year and will once again show his wizardry at the power forward position. And the Eric Hammond rumouk~ have been confirmed. The 6%“ low post king has rejoined the team this term for his fifth and final year of eligibility. He will be a welcome return because of his stellar shot blocking and rebounding abilities. Other veteran Gryphon workhorses in the paint include 6’9” centre Brent Barnhart and 6’5” small forward Shawn Taras. Guelph has lost the talents of back court duo Ray Darling and Darren Thomas. Those spots could easily be filled by highly-touted freshman Rich Wedowski and junior Humphrey Hill, both of whom are dangerous snipers inside and at the trifecta. The Gryphs have also lost forwards Dave Sherwood and Steve Cuevas. But don’t .rule out this team’s uncanny ability to steamroll ahead, especially at home with Dine in the “House of Slam”. With the strong fan support, I call it the “House of Cram.” No. Name 00 Eric Hammond 1 Mark Ton&o 3 Humphrey Hill 5 Tim Mau IO Terry Upshaw 11 Chris OXourke 21 Brent Bar&art 22 Rich Weslowski 23 Randy Mahoney 24 Themis Mantzaridis 25 Rory Steele 32 Shawn Taras 33 Mark Holland 42 FIoyd Cobran 44 Eriti Grizzle 55 Harry Freelink Chris Baldauf Chris Williams

Therefore 6’2” guard L.esiie XaggUette will take over to quarterback the offence. He is one of the quicker guards in the division and can disect an opposing defence with his tremendous Shooting range. What Ragguette can’t sink outside, Mike blonde, one of the most underrated pivots in the conference, can drain in the paint. This athlete is mobile, has a smooth shooting stroke, and shows a remarkable work ethic under the glass. Fourth-year swingman Ray Foster can also gather up some high numbers when left unattended. Yet, the secret of Lakehead’s success could be the seasoning of juniors David Pineau and Steve Ri$dle along with the developement of sophomores Peter Brown and Brian Norland.

If any OUAA West team is to go aIi the way to a national title this season, the early favorite is M&laster. The Marauders have tremendous depth and experience with eight of their 14 players at least in their third year, The 1990-91 OUAA West coach of the year Barry Phillips has molded the team into one of the most cohesive squads in the country. Senior forwards Ed Madronich and Jeff Zownir make up one of the most potent 3-4 combinations in thee league, could be the key to taking the Marauders all the way to Halifax. Madronich’s high-octane offence has been recognized with two OUAA West all-star selections and Zownir is known for his flypaper defence. The league giant, 4’9” 250 lbs. Jack VanderPo1, is a tremendous rebounde,r and usuaIly scores in the double digits. This could be an all-star year for him. Spidery Derek Howard developed into a solid backcourt defender last year in his sophomore season. Fellow third-year guards Sheldon Laidman and Craig Connolly will fight for the other guard spot. Speedy point guard Rupert Wilson has graduated, but three promising freshmen have *

The Mustangs won the CIAU championship last year with their offence.

Western may not appear in the nationals this season, but the team will be no push-over either. UWO is consistently strong year in and. year

out.

The Warriors are a revamped team after adding Dave Lynch, i transfer from York University of the OUAA Central Division, Alex Urosevic, another red-shirt who previously played NCAA Division 1 hoops at Stetson University in Florida, and Pat TeIford, who returns for his final year of eligibility after a one-year absence. Telford keeps experience at the pivot spot despite the graduation of Dave Rosebush. Lynch is a marksman from three-point range, especially in the corners. Urosevic’s wizardry at the offguard position has resulted in a collossal30 points per game average through the’pre-season. Also, always dangerous is last season’s CIAU rookie of the Year and OUAA West scoring champion Sean VanKoughnett. Both VanKoughnett and Urosevic gained plenty of international experience over the summer VanKoughnett played for the Junior National Team and Urosevic for Canada’s Pan-Am Team. w could very well be the best recr&ing year in recent Warrior basketball +history.

Despite being one of the smallest frontcourt players in the division, 6’4” Toronto native Everton Shakespeare displays outstanding mobility inside and superior ballhandling in opencourt. A stellar freshman season for Shakespeare last year should blossom into a commanding role in 92. Another leader could be fourthyear power forward Michael Ogley. The 6’5”senior shows aggressiveness on the drive and, in a split second, can dish it off to an open man. Big improvement could come from a reduction in turnovers and shutting down the opposition’s inside game. Rookie coach Mike Havey takes over for last year’s intern skipper Wayne Curtin. The only way is up for Windsor and this year’s squad may just be the team to do it. Don’t take them lightly.

Temporarily, he will share the right side spot with dynamic team scoring leader Jon Tenthorey.

Zabjek also bulldozed for 57 kills and one service ace for a total of 87 points. Sophomore power hitter Rene Holt had a strong attack, burying 74 of points on kills. his 81 to umament Other Piaguesters in the high numbers were sophomore setter Shawn Smith, Fullerton, and Balodis, with 56,41, and 38 points respectively.

The new year will bring about a new look for the Black .l%gue volleyball Warriors. After bumping and grinding through the first half of the season for a 4-2 record and third place in the tough OUAA West division, Waterloo has strengthened its roster and should have a smoother ride in the final six league matches+ Returning from a work term to finish off his fifth and final year of eligibility is prolific middle hitter Dave BaIodis. The 6’2” Toronto &tive has been a starter on the team each of the last three seasons and was

Waterloo put the improved squad to the test with exhibition action at the prestigious York Mizuno Excalibur Tournament this past weekend. The three-day event drew some of the highest calibre of volleyball from across the country, including NCAA Division I1 Michigan State and’four of the top-ten ranked teams in Canada. Unfortunately for the Warriors, three of those four teams were their pool opponents in round robin play. Yet, despite being severe underWaterloo displayed an dogs, performance. incredibly gutsy Although they lost four of their five matches and finished sixth out of the eight teams in the tournament, the Warriors didn’t go down without a fight. Three of their matches took over two hours to complete and four of their first seven games went to the

In their first match on Friday afternoon, the Warriors met up with the 1990-91 national silver medalist Toronto Varsity Blues. In one of the most entertaining

by CD Codas Imprint sports Did we all have a nice Christmas? I hope so. Well, while you and I were decking the halIs with bails of holly, making snowmen, and drinking hot chocolate, our fearless Warriors were jetting to that hockey haven, Los AngeIes, California, for the McNall (as in Bruce) Cup. The team went into the tourney in a positive frame of mind, after hanging on to beat the Brock Badgers in Brock and scoring a convincing win against everybody’s rival, the Western Mustangs, on home ice in their last two league games before the Christmas break. The wins extended Waterloo’s winning streak to a lofty eight and improved their OUAA West division leading record to 10-2. The wins were big in two ways. One, they were against teams in their own division, making the games “four point wins, ” as head coach Don McKee put it. Two, ending the first half of the season with the winning streak intact would give the boys plenty of incentive to continuetheir once the long winning; ways Chris&as break is over. L A. was the first of two Christmas break tourneys, and the University of Calgary was the first team that the Warriors faced. Jamie Hartnett and Steve Woods put Waterloo in a 2-O lead after the first, but Calgary woke up in the second period, scoring three of their own, including a short handed tally to give U of C the lead going into the third period. They continued

their scoring ways in the final frame one more time before the Warriors power-play clicked with Steve Schaefer being the beneficiary of the goal. Calgary salted the victory with a goal in the Iast minute of the game handing the Warriors their first loss in exhibition tournament play this year. Things got worse for the Warriors in their next contest against Michigan State. Michigan walk&l away with a 9-4 win as the Warriors doubled Michigan’s minutes in the penalty box, thus giving MSU the opportunity to score three power-play goals. And when the Warriors got a power-play, they scored on one of their three chances, but also gave up a short-handed goal on another. Needless to-say, coach McKee was not pleased because he “hates to lose.” As a result, he made a few alterations in the make-up of the team, shifting players to different lines, putting new faces in different positions, and giving each line definite roles on the ice. McKee believes he now has combinations which gives him two lines with a definite scoring punch, one line with strong defensive skills, and a trio that straddles the line of offensive and defensive. McKee got little chance to practice his new lineup (because he felt obligated to let his players go home for Christmas) before they had their first test of their enhanced svstem. The tourney was the Duracell cup, in Toronto. Unfortunately, the Warriors didn’t last in this tournament.

most part, brilliant a cleverly molded work of dark genius that would make Alfred Hitchcock proud. This has been apparent since the release of the first single and video ‘“The Fly,” with Bono distortedly lamenting: “A man will rise / A man will fall / From the sheer face of love f Like a fly from a wall.” This lyrical bleakness continues into the songs “So Cruel," ‘Who’s Gonna Ride Your

Northside faithfully surf the dance pop guitar hyphen hyphen trend, but despite their success, they’re all svle and sound, no substance.

A feeling Chat is temporarily entertaining but in the end completely vacuous, leaving the listener (dancer, that is) with nothing after “Step On” or “Vapour Trail” replaces it. Complete confection, offering only the most momentary of satisfactions.

Wild I-lorses, ” “Love is Blindness,” “Ultraviolet (Light My Way),” and “Until the End of the World” (also available on the soundtrack of Wim Wenders’ movie). Eno shared the helm of Achtung Baby with Daniel Lanais, Steve Lillywhite, and Flood, and this much input on the production level has had some interesting effects. For instance, U2 seem more unified as a band, as it’s difficult at times to discern individual instruments, and it’s hard for the listener to say “Edge carries this song with his guitar,” or “the way Bono sings this Iine makes this tune” because everything sounds lie the product of intense collaboration. A second consequence is the way Bono’s vocals are projected. Some-

on “The Fly,” it’s as though the amps have been turned way down. Maybe if Bob Rock had also been in the studio . . . Achtung Baby has enormous staying potential. Any one of the album’s twelve tracks could be released as a single, although “Love is Blindness” and ‘Try-in’ to Throw Your Arms Around the World” would probabty flop. It’s unfortunate that “Mysterious Ways” was chosen as the second single and video because it’s the third weakest song and it only detracts from the strong path blazed by ‘“The Fly.” This fact notwithstanding, Achtung Buby is an excellent offering from U2, and it grows exponentially better with each listening.

Everybody’s an angel these days. At least, that’s what record producers and marketers would ha6 us think about young female artists. I have my own ideas, especially about British pop darling Tanita Tikaram, who strikes me as more of a brat. Tikaram’s third offering. “Everybody’s Angel”, leaves me musing

bemusedly about angels dancing’ inside the heads of pinheads. The only thing that makes me really happy as I write this review is knowing that Ill never, ever, in a million years, listen to Tanita Tikaram again. Okay, Christmas IS coming, and I’ll do my best to be charitable. Among Tikaram’s best qualities is her deep, rich voice, which at times reaches the almost beautiful. Okay, so much for charity. I suppose that if the angel actually used her harp-like vocal chords to tell me something, anything at all, I wouldn’t be quite so pissed off. However, even with the liner notes I have no idea what she’s talking about, What do these words mean to you, gentle reader? “Well, our dog beats in his own heart / Our dog was from the start / Not much use in the rain / Not rngsh

Oh, the B.AND. You want to hear about the BAND. I almost forgot, what with yet another diatribtl over angel-cake lyrics. Even ‘“The Section”, fuU of flugel horns, violins, and saxes, and ‘The S-g 0rchestra”do little to make this album interesting or accessible. For the most part, “Everybody’s Angel” comes across as everybody’s brat - petulant and whiny. I think I’ll leave Tikaram with her head full of clouds. Meanwhile, Ill be winging off to the record store. Ta-ta.

The album is a rhapsody of sampling and spirituality+ Prince B’s lyrics address God, racism, and love over mean dance hooks and outrageous and wonderful samples. Prince B and his brother, DJ Minutemix, have created a hip-hop album that combines the whimsy of some divinely inspired samples with the seriousness of a religious and philosophical quest. Far from being the frighteningly, heavy-handed lecture you might expect, their approach quietly lures the listener in and works on a variety of levels, encouraging you to get up and shake your disco ass while Prince B philosophizes over the state of the human condition.

Spandau Ballet’s biggest hit “True,” one of the sappiest, most wonderful slowdance songs of our collective junior high school careers, to create a watershed of romantic memories. Bliss is an apt description. The collection’s biggest disappointment is “Shake,” Prince B’s lame attempt to get “the females in the house” up on the dance floor. Its street comer posturing and fervent self-endorsement are entirely out of place on this otherwise unassuming debut. While at times Prince B’s lyrics verge on esoteric silliness, that indulgence is easily forgiven when you consider the all-out groove funkiness of the entire project. Fusing

The most outstanding tracks are the ever-danceable “Comatose,” “The Beautiful,” “If I Wuz U,” and ‘*A Watcher’s Point of View (Don’t ‘Cha Think).” The ingeniously sampled “Set Adrift on Memory Bliss” uses

Sly and the Family Stone to The Doobie Brothers, with a spiritual message, The U@un Experience is PM Dawn’s ode to God and grooviness; a temple to positivity where the doors are always open.

times they’re distorted; other times they ring out with great clarity. But the most obvious result is the way Edge’s guitar playing has been restricted. His trademark jangle is evident only on a handful of numbers: “Even Better than the Real Thing”and “Ultraviolet (Light My Way)” being the most prominent. Bono and Lanois also receive guitar credits, but with the exception of a power chord or two

With a gig at Toronto’s biggest smaller concert venue, RPM, and an exciting date with the lovely Monica De01 on Electric Circus (Thanks for singing along Monica!!!), PM Dawn made the rounds this fall in TO to promote their full-length album Of l%e Heart, Of 77wSoul. . , let’s just call it l3e Utopian fiperince and their chart-topping single “Set Adrift on Memory Bliss.” After hearing their first

The same cannot be said for the rest of Chicke~l Rh+ythms. The album as a whole does not even offer momentary satisfaction. It’s not offensively, outrageously bad, it’s just merciledy boring. It’s not com/lk@ u&tenable,: that is, as long as you’re quite preoccupied and aren’t really listening. Ian Broudie’s production is pure and simple all the time; all members of Northside seem competent on their instruments; occasionally they can even come up with a decent riff or two. But the playing is bland, the sound is tired, the songs are lacking in lustre. In a better world, Chicken Rhythms would not exist. use in the sun / Put it outside and let the paint run / Put it outside and let the paint run.” Och, it hurrnts! Let’s just say Tanita Tikaram gives Edie Brickell a run for her feathers in the fluffy lyrics category.

Observe by Dave Fisher

Imprintstaff An immense influence on music of the past decade, Pere Ubu remain an anomaly few are aware of and even Iess have heard. After an inauspicious beginning - Cleveland, 1975 - the almost band was maligned immediately with critical slaggings in the popular press, most notably by RoGzg Stone, only to be redeemed yearslater as sort of a latter day Velvet Underground. Indeed, not too dissimilar to that band, it appears that in marked contrast to their lack of chart success, Pere Ubu’s effect upon their sparse dilettantes - Husker Du, REM, The Replacements, etc. was remarkably pronounced. After a six-year layoff, which practically no one noticed, Pere Ubu returned to recording at a time when record companies were belatedly going underground in pursuit of new, or alternative, talent and accompanying market share. In the st two p” years, Ubu have released Coudland

A wire service byline rbsulting from the furor of their thoughtful David Letterman appearance has been the only notice the press have given the band in recent times. That Pere Ubu have failed to stir our collective imagination is both a shame and rather mystifying. Perhaps that all might change in view of their more recent fortunes. Having toured with the Pixies, Pere Ubu have

introduced themselves to a new audience in an appreciably strong fashion. The rumours of Ubu blowing the Pixies away on this past tour are anything but off the mark; not that any of this is the Pixies fault, but rather that Pere Ubu’s performance is of such force and drama, particularly so given a blithely ignorant crowd’s utter absence of expectation, that

In one nine-week period, McLennan completed both the Frost project as well as ‘“Watershed,” a pop masterpiece and further foray into the majesty of the “Go-Betweens sound.” End of ‘9 1, and mutual pal Lloyd Cold invites them along on tour - an

Interesting note: on McLennan’s “Haven’t I Been A Fool,” Forster alternated on verses; in fact it was impressive how naturalIy each seemed to integrate into the other’s solo material. Between songs, Forster’s characteristic dry wit (‘Thank you, young people of Canada . . .“) provided chuckles aplenty. Other highlights came by

way of “People Say,” their second single from 79, ‘Zove Goes On!” from their last album 16 Lovers Lane and the show-closer, an extended version of Forsters’ “Danger In The Past.” Cole obviously has impeccable taste, and certainly deserves a “best of 92” footnote for orchestrating this extraordinary, albeit brief “reunion.” I wonder if he knows Bob Mould and Grant Hart?

The House Jack Kerouac Built Generation X by bughs Coupland St. Martin’s Press, 183 pgs. reviewed by Michael Imprint staff

Bryson

With apologies to Natalie Merchant. Hey, Jack KerouacWhat a trooper you were, what a flash, a guiding light. Rummaging through the underside of America, seeking redemption, glory and truth, you were a novelist of solitary strength. The L.oi-tesome Traveller in a lonely culture. A runaway dreamer. You said yourself: “Am known as ‘madman bum and angel’with ‘naked endless head’ of ‘prose.’ . . . Am actually no ‘beat’ but strange solitary Catholic mystic.” Ginsberg called you the “new Buddha of American prose,“and all you wanted was “to be considered a jazz poet blowing a long blues in an afternoon jam session on Sunday (1959) .” I think of your mother. Sir, it’s 1992, and the heretic philistines that so tragically wretched away from you your dreams and visions, twisting them into soulless, commercial hedonism and uncharitable profit, hippie love’ and fests

preposterous imitations, man, they’re still in charge. Says beat-sister, Carolyn Cassady, loving wife of On the Rmd bodhissatva and mate Neal (Dean Moriarty) Cassady: “They were judging (you) Kerouac from his writing, and as a result jumping all over what they imagined his personal life to be. But they really didn’t know the man, and they missed the point of all of his underlying motivations. “He was very principled, shy, comand passionate and sentimental, never was advocating free love or drug abuse, which were attributed to him by the media and the hippie generation. And it killed him to be given the credit for inciting people to do anything they wanted.

“He was so misunderstood, sensitive it was too much for bear. He drank himself to because he got famous for wrong reasons.”

chasing the self-interested greed dreams of bummed out middle ,America. Generation X has the same message, but by the Nineties much of the hope has faded. Witness the distant clouds and infinite horizon line on Coupland’s cover. The narrator, Andy: “Okay, okay. I’m being one-sided here. But it’s fi.m to trash Tobias. It’s easy. He embodies to me all of the people of my own generation who used all that was good in themselves just to make money; who use their votes for shortterm gain. Who ended up blissful in the bottom-feeding jobs - marketing, land flipping, ambulance chasing, and money brokering. Such smugness. They saw themselves as eagles building mighty nests of oak branches and bulrushes, when instead they were really more like the eagles here in California, the ones who build their nests from tufts of -abandoned auto parts looking like sprouts picked off a sandwich - rusted colonic mufflers and herniated fan belts - gnarls of freeway flotsam from the bleached grass meridians of. the Santa Monica freeway: plastic lawn chairs, Styrofoam cooler lids, and broken skis - cheap, vulgar, toxic items that will either decompose in minutes or remain essentially

novel,” says The Los Angeles Times, though not exactly jazz prosody: “In her small voice she was talking to the sun and telling it she was very sorry if we’d hurt it or caused it any pain. I knew then that we were friends for life.” Generation X addresses from the inside the insipid mall culture of American suburbia that you were ridiculing in The Dhama Bums, Big Sur, and Desolation Angers even as it was emerging on the landscape in Eisenhower’s 1950s. Crass commercialism does not create meaning is the message the media philistines missed. On the Road is a celebration of the freedom of the individual soul, not an amoral masturbatory fantisy

unchanged until our galaxy goes supernova.” Wow. Maybe more like garage rock than jazz, more Neil Young than Dizzy Gillespie, but Crazy Horse is more likely a direct influence anyway. Fantastic.

Manzarek, the Doors’ &Y keyboardist, has said if you’d never written On the Road, “the Doors would never have existed;” atid the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia, “I don’t know if I would ever have had the courage or the vision to do something tithmylifeor even suspected the possibilities existed - if it weren’t for opening those (you) Kerouac doors.” Such an influence! Bob Dylan says you turned him on to poetry; RoZZing Stone credits you as the muse for “the careening, word-jammed songs of Bruce Springsteen’s first three Then there’s Mr. D. albulns.” Coupland. In TheDhcrmza Bums you sat atop a mountain divining cosmic inspiration from solitude among the forest trees and the rhythmic, patterned clouds streaming across the clear blue canvas of a sky. Coupland divined his inspiration from a lonely sojourn in the California desert. Like Dharma Bums, Generation X is a novel about isolation. Social, material, and spiritual. Andy, Dag and Claire, X’s heroic triumvirate, have dropped out of the rat race to heal their wounds and find their own meaning. “I’ve got my own demons,” says Dag. “and I’d prefer not to have them trivialized by your Psych 101isms. We’re always analyzing life too much. It’s going to be the downfall of ail of us.” In other words, leave me alone. Bret Easton Ellis covered similar territory in 1984’s Less than Zero, and Jay McInemey followed Ellis with Bright Lights, Big City. But both books were filled with satirical stabs at over the top yuppie indulgence, whereas Generation X takes a minimalist, outsider’s approach: indulgence is for fools. Coupland’s outlining the New Bohemia, re-defining subterranean. Hey, Jack - of the San Francisco beat boys, you were the biggest. You

You were dead, of course, by the time Woody Allen made Annie Hall. At one point in that film, Allen, a standup comic, addresses a university audience: “I dated a woman who worked for the Eisenhower administration,” he salys. ‘1 was trying to do to her what Eisenhower was doing to the country.”

In 1958 you were addressing students yourself, Hunter College to be precise. And, says Rolling Stone% Martha Bustin, in your speech, recorded for posterity on “The Jack Kerouac Collection,” “one hears with heartbreag clarity an artist making a clown of himself, a speaker whose dreamy, eloquent, inappropriate speech falls on deaf ears,” Kerouac: “‘Live your lives out, they say, nay, love your lives out, so when they come around and stone you, you won’t be living in any glass house only glassy flesh.” Yeah! Those were the days. Heading out on the highway, looking for adventure. Those things meant something, then. Before everyone went overboard, became opulent. Before Bret Easton Ellis filled us in on how comfortably numb everyone was. Generation X: “‘I just get so sick of being jealous of everything Andy -’ There’s no stopping the boy. ‘- And it scares me that I don’t see a future. And I don’t understand this reflex of mine to be such a smartass about everything. It really scares me. I may not look lie I’m paying any attention to anything, Andy, but I am. But I can’t allow myself to show it. And I don’t know why.’ Walking ‘up the hill to the memorial’s entrance I wonder what all that was about. I guess I’m going to have to be (as Claire says) ‘just a teensy bit more jolly about thtigs. But it’s hard.” Oh, yes. Sometimes it’s very hard. Generation X: “‘I think he thinks about getting blown up too much. I think he needs to fall in love. If he doesn’t fall in love soon, he’s really going to lose it”’ Now there’s an answer to everything.

Don’t think about making her come, I reminded myself. Just taste her, smell her, think about nothing else. A Zen blow job, a%it were. When her breathing came faster and faster I ignored her. I maintained the same pace, like a robot tennis player. Indefatigable. Don’t aim for the finish line. In a Zen blow job, there is no finish line.” No, Miller was too obsessed with his own transcendence. And there the difference lies (no pun intended).

Mordecai Richler, to his credit, knows a good line when he sees one. In two ofhis essays, written 20 years apart, he recounts Hemingway’s opinion of Henry Miller. Miller had once got laid in the afternoon and thought he’d invented it, said Hem. And, depending on which of Richler’s essays you read, so have certain other fools who spout off about the originality of their sexuality,

SATUIRDAY,JANUARY 18, 1992

How Buys See Girls is a charming, self-defacing and honest book, surprising in these earnest if at times paranoid days of political correctness. Henry Miller, the king of phallic obsession, has been taken to task by feminists far and wide for his brutal portrayal of women as objects of desire. One wonders these days where to draw the line between erotic fantasy and the selfish abuse of power.

but out of that genuine need for fulfiument through copulation. l3ix is head over heels in lust, and the novel, as tenderly and sweetly as is probably possible, turns his graphic desire into art.

Bix, the novel’s protagonist, is a 40year-old professional speech writer with an erotic obsession for a l!+yearold street vendor. He courts her, wins her, loses her, suffers for her, gets her back, leaves her, and, we suppose, lives happily ever after: “‘I love you,’ I .whispered in her ear. ‘Promise me you11 remember that. No matter what.“’

But How &ys See Girls not only provides the Art of Zen Lovemaking, it also provides the suffering of breakup and the terror of heartbreak. “I pushed it (the thought) in a bit further: While I was thrashing around in my sheets with the window open, in case she should come by, with the phone beside my face, 6 case she should caIl, she was on her back with her legs wrapped around him. “It was simply nightmare mindboggling, the enormity of it, a kind of wrecking balI right in the nuts.” It is entirely possible that Gilmour may find himself the centre of a discussion on gender power politics with the publication of this novel.

David Gilmour, the CBC’S film critic and second-time author, to his credit or not, has reinvented Henry Miller with his novel, HUM! BU-Y.Ssee C&-/S. While there is nothing terribly original in iove, sex, suffering, and ecstasy, the novel is a reminder of the chaos of trying to put together an eventful love life. The accompanying joy when it succeeds. The horror when it fails. And the need simply to get on with life when it’s all over.

Gilmour dodges the question deftly, and the book sparkles because he does it so well. Holly, the love interest, is portrayed with sympathy and understanding. A high school dropout, she wants to go back to school. “‘Do you know how attractive you are?’ ‘I’d trade it for a good job,’ she said.” She is a long way from one of Miller’s “cunts.”

In the beginning there was ziggy and Major Tom, then there was David Bowie as himself, and now Tin Machine. A few weeks before the Chrrstmns hohdays 1,800 people packed themselves into the Concert Hall to see David Bowies latest ensemble XII Machine (sorry, I mean Tim Machme including David Bowie only 2s an equal member). The show started early in the evening with a raging rock band with flaring gums and flailing red hair who sounded a bit like Nirvana. The band was called The Neighborhoods, from Boston, and surprise, surprise, there were more Bostonians on that stage than from anywhere else. I’m sure no one in the mass of bodies in front of the stage who were beginning to smell a bit like teen spirit were there to get a glimpse of the lead singer’s bright red hair, or maybe to pull on it as it passed by their faces.

After The Neighborhoods, the crowd in front of the stage disappeared as a platform of heads created a raised floor, everyone wanted to catch a brief but close look at the legend, or maybe they just wanted the hockey scored from the TV centred on the stage during the intermission.

Finally the darkness fell, the smoke rose and-the sweat stunk; there was a hum, a pregnant pause filled the hall, then there was screaming a bolt of light and there He was - sorry, there they were. Tin Machine certainly was nothing to look at, (once you were over the initial shock of DB 15 feet in front of you) no spectacular light

few hours before the show (thanks Carl), their set list consisted of songs such as “Baby Universe” and “Crack Baby,” a lengthy sax solo performed by Bowie and a few cover songs (no, no David Bowie hits). Almost a two hour show of pure enjoyment in an intimate atmosphere. That was the reason Robbie Robertson (David’s close personal friend) was there.

The ignorance of cultural rt%tivism is a powerfur weapon. It allows governments to alienate other cultures and other countries, usually to relieve the nation’s conscience so that killing people in that country isn’t murder as much as patriotism. Attempts to reconcile different cultures usually fall prey to an inability to leave one’s value system and achieve a degree of objectivity. Unfortunately, TVO’s documentary Hidden Fatxs - about the role of Islamic women in Egypt - falls victim to this problems and many more. The documentary focuses upon the travels of tlhe narrator, a young Muslim woman returning to Egypt, visiting her family and friends and following a doctor turned writer Nawal El Saadawi, The doctor visits small villages in Egypt counselling women and discussing the role of religion, sex, and social customs in the lives of the women. The first town visited is the town of the mother of the narrator and immediately this piece starts to show its bias. All the men are portrayed as victims of fundamental obscurantism, demanding layers of veils and treating women as mere objects. The

a long discussion of female circumcision and mutilation

women are all victims of a brutally retarded religion and an uncaring society. The elder women of the village tell tales of uncles holding guns while marriages are consummated shooting the bride if she is not a virgin. The viewer is subjected to a long discussion on female circumcision and mutilation. Which serves only to shock the viewer into affirming his or her righteous indignation of the western world over the rest of the world. The only redeeming thing about this documentary is the discussion of the documentary by a panel made up mostly of Canadian Muslims. They recognize the flaws of the piece they saw and of the Western conceptions of the Muslim religion. Small rural towns in Egypt are portrayed as the norm for the Muslim world and no attempt is made at objective understanding. Hopefully TV Ontario will, in the future, avoid the cultural bias that it accuses its subjects of.

Reader’s Survey Results As we promised, we have compiled the results of the survey we asked readers to fill out several weeks ago. This task was not overly di.fficuIt, given that only 22 (that’s right - 22 students out of about IS,OOO) filled out and retimed the survey.

Perh+s Imprint arts is not that far off the musical mairtstream. Some survey respondents called for “objectivity” in reviews. Insofar 3s a review is a piece of criticism, objecti,*.ity is antithetical to the purposes of this. 7~ offer one’s opinion of an album, book, or concert is to pass judgment upon it. We cannot do that and remain objective.

PHOTOS SCIENCE NEWS People did not have much to say about the news section. The argument of whether or not we should provide national and/or international coverage was split between four people, and one individual suggested we pay more attention to loca1 issues. It is Imprint’s policy to give first priority to on-campus events and student issues, and international or national issues are usually dealt with almost on a weekly basis through one of the columns, features, or opinion pieces.

GENERAL COMMEWS and SUGGESTTONS FUR GENERAL, IMPROBMEIVT

One woman wruie that she was concerned with her person al safety on cam pus, and suggested that we should have a column about crime on campus. Rr well, shefelt it would be usefil to know abuut the mure dangeruus places on campus to be walking at night. i%e suggestion about a column is an interesting one, because we actually had statied one at the beginning uf this term. However, the peuple in charge of writing it became busy once the term got underway and column submissions eventually ceased. We ure currently tying to

w-start it as soon us possible thti term. A suggestion about including more mainstream news and international articles was repeated several times, but isn I m&tic fur a nu,mber #reasons. t+~tj~: #we wew ici pkt .ruch articles, the news would be several days old by the time you wad it in Imprint, due to the nature of our production cycle. Secondly, we would simply be repeating information available in the Toronto Star, the Sun, or 7%e Giube ar?d Mail, all of which are available in distribution boxes and the Turnkey Desk in the Campus Centre. One individual said that the graphic used for the October 25,199l feature on Atheism originally appeared in the December 19, 1969 issue of something called the NOLA Express, and felt that we should have credited the original artist or the magazine. We did not get the graphic from that magazine; ironically, we found it in 7Ihe Chew-on, Imprint’s predecessor from that same time period and thought that it was ours. There was also a suggestion about getting “stupid strip joint ads” out of the paper. This debate occurred amongst students and staff several years ago over an ad placed in the paper by The Dollhouse, which was advertising “Betty Boobs” with a photo that included the woman’s breasts. At that time, the staff decided two things: one, that it was not the place of Imprint to censor someone who wishes to advertise a legal service and secondly, that a newspaper should have an extremely good reason to refuse advertisements if they wish to

stay in business. That’s the nature of the beast. The argument surfaced again during the recent Persian Gulf conflict when we were publishing ads by the Canadian Armed ForGs depicting a troop carrier on a sand dune, and the staff reiterated these principles. But regarding the strip club ads it is still legal for people to take off their clothes in front of others in exchange for money. We are not in the business of telling others how to make their money, especially if they are doing it legally. If the government feels that we shouldn’t be advertising such enterprises, then legislation to that effect would be implemented. Imprint appreciates comments about it’s content, but possibilities for change are limited and relative to Ihe number of volunteers we have. Each volunteer also has academic work and part-time jobs to attend to, as well as working on the production of this newspaper. If you feel that Imprint would better serve students by (insert suggestion here), come and talk to us! We’re always interested in suggestions or new ideas. We hate to put the onus on the individuals with suggestions, but the truth is, as aforementioned, there isn’t a great deal of room left on any of our plates to follow through on them. We’re not trying to brush off criticism or sugg&io~~ - the point is simply this: you can greatIy improve your chances of translating your suggestion into print if you can afford a few hours a week to work on it.
