Feds plan bylaw changes by Peter Brown Imprint staff The Federation of Students plans to make its $23.70 student levy a nonrefundable fee at next Thursday, March 12’s annual general meeting. Currently, it is a compulsory but refundable fee, meaning that students must pay it when they register and pay academic fees, but can come to the Federation office for a refund during the first three weeks of classes. This winter, 153 students asked for their Federation refund, out of 11,84 1 full-time undergraduates and at a cost of $3,626, according to a document prepared by Fed general manager Fred Kelly for Vice-President, Operation and Finance Steve Millard. That brings the total refunded for the year May 1, 1491 to April 31, 1992 to $7,915, up from $4,437 last year (when the Fed fee ranged between $19.20 and $22.25). Kelly says that the administrativr~ involved is time-consuming and that many students continue to use services and to benefit from other Fed activities after they obtain refunds. He also says that UW is one of few schools that still has a refundable student association levy.

If the University Board of Governors approves last month’s referendum to pull out of the Ontario Fedel’ation of Students, the $23.70 levy will drop by $1.50. Other changes to bylaws include the creation of an eIections and referenda committee that will search for a chief returning office? for campus-wide undergraduate votes. The Feds are also seeking to empower the students’ council to approve the CR0 instead of the board of directors. Also on the agenda is group of changes to the bylaw governing the Board of Entertainment to reflect the hiring of a full-time special events coordinator, currently Dave McDougall, “When Dave’s job was created last year, there was no real explanation of how he would relate to BEnt,” said President John Leddy. “These changes are meant to reflect what he actually

does.”

Proxy forms for the AGM must be submitted to the Fed office, CC235, by next Wednesday, March 1 I at 4:30 pm. A valid student ID card is necessary to register to vote at the meeting. For more details, see the advetiement on page nine.

As part of Winter Thaw ‘92, an art show and sale were held in the Great Hall of the Campus Centre from Tuesday to Thursday of this week, March 3-5. Forty pieces of art work were contributed by 18 different artists on the UW campus. “The show acted as a medium for students within the university to show and sell their work to the public,” said Dave McDougall, supervisor of the art show, which added some cultural activities to Winter Thaw and represented the quality and calibre of work students can achieve through arts at this university. First prize went to Melissa Doherty’s acrylic “Things are Not As They Seem,” second going to Deana Fusco’s linocut “Venus,” and third prize going to Rochford Svasti Salle’s untitled pencil crayon work. This is the first year that winterfest activities have included an art show, but the reactions of students this week indicate that it will not be the last. Organizers encourage artists to submit works for next year’s show to gain the recognition they deserve and have the chance to receive a prize for their efforts. The Winter Thaw Art Show & Sale was coordinated and run by Monica Hadely and Mamie Thompson, both students at UW. For any information concerning; .the artists or their paintings for sale, please contact Dave McDougall in the Federation of Students office, CC235, 888-4042.

Journal ‘is reborn by Michael Bryson Imprint staff After a year that saw its name changed, its mandate aitered and its future cast in doubt, Phoenix (formerly 0n li!ro) , the Federation of Students’ annual publication of poetry, arh+vork and short fiction, is scheduled for release next week. The official book launch party, hosted by the Federation of Students in conjunction with the Arts Student Union, will be held at Fed Hall on Tuesday, March IO, 1992, beginning at 7~30 pm. All are welcome. The cost at the door is $2.00, which includes a copy of the publication. The evening consists of readings by the contibutors, followed by a collection of live bands. Playing at the event witi be the Mary Ann Epp Band, a local talent recently praised in the KWRecord; Kate B. and the Beggar; Louis Litwizller; Jack Cooper; and Clint Turcott. The MC for the evening will be Darlene Spencer. The publication, a University of

Waterloo tradition since the early 198Os, ftew into some turbulence late last year when it felI under the scrutinv of the Federation of Studex&s accountants. Because the publication was perennial moneyloser, the Feds asked the editors of the publication, Shirley Moore and Tamara Knezic, to make the publication more accountable to the general student body, and more profitable. The first move Moore and Knezic made was to change the name from online, which had more computer connotations than literary allusions, to Phoenix, a metaphorical title in more ways than one. Other moves followed, though as in the past with online, the editors of Phoenix mainly accepted submissions

poetry,

short

fiction

and

artwork. This year, they tried to make the publication appeal to a larger selection of the university community by seeking submissions outside of these areas, like graffiti or snippets of dialogue. As a result, the publication includes creative non-

fiction for the first time this year. Moore and Knezic are also introducing this year a new price for the publication. The publication will be sold this year for $1 per copy. Last year the publication cost $5. Because the cost per copy has been so drastically reduced, the editors are hoping for a larger circulation. “If people don’t buy the book for $1,” says Knezic, “they aren’t going to buy it.” Last year the Creative Arts Board published 300 copies of which 150 were sold. This year Moore and Knezic are hoping to publish 800 copies, some of which may eventually find their way into frosh kits. If there is not a sign&ant increase in interest in the publication by the student body, the publication risks being cmcelled by the Federation vi Students. Assuming that there will be a Phoenix next year, submissions for that publication will be accepted at the Creative Arts Board in the Fed Office in the Campus Centre beginning April 1,1992.

/ males who drink excessively, read , pornographic magazines, and who express the belief that rape can at times be “justified.” There was also a list of “do’s” and “don’&’ to help a woman avoid being raped: avoiding risky situations, having someone always know where you are, staying sober, trusting your instincts, being consistent (both verbally and with ‘body language), and not being afraid to scream or run if a situation is getting dangerous are all important. The post-film discussion featured topics that ranged from mandatory rape education courses to frosh week activities, the legal system and the proposed rape law Bill C-49, and male-female relations. The general consensus was that more education was needed at all levels, from university orientation down to grade school, and that rinore males should be involved in presenting the importance of this topic.

The seminar began with a film, Aguim2 Her will - Gwnps Rqq followed by discussion. The statistics raised were horrifying: of 6,000 students interviewed by MS magazine, one-fourth had either experienced a rape or an attempted rape, half of which occurred on dates. Seventy-five per cent of the men and fifty-five per cent of the women involved were under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Date rape comprises 84 per cent of a11sexual assaults, but only one per cent of those assaults are reported.

The film showed seemingly endless interviews with women who were the victims of date rape, and interspersed them with interviews of men who had a very misinformed concept of what constituted rape. It also gave clues for women to use in helping to determine if a male is likely to turn into a “date-rapist.”

Academic freedom to b.e-discussed at W Lb by Robin KaIbfleisch

Imprintstaff

As students, many of us have experienced the disappointment of getting a poor grade on a project which took weeks to prepare. This situation is , especially frustrating when we know that we have been penalized because we have expressed so-called radical or controversial opinions. Although it is dis-

heartening to receive a poor grade, imagine what it would be like to be a student in a country where you could be arrested or even shot for challenging political or social norms.

ticular, the conference will explore the relationship between the repression of academic personnel and the narrowness of the development policies of their governments. In countries where academic freedom does not exist, students and teachers face a wide range of dilemmas. For example, in order to assure their own personal safety scholars may be forced to avoid working an proiects that tackle social problems.

Tomorrow (Saturday, March 7), students and scholars will be meeting at Wilfrid Laurier University to discuss the various ways in which academic freedom is constrained in different parts of the world. In par-

Gwen Jacob speaks up for WOrnen proof of a community standard, whereas the Indecent Exposure Act does.

by Dave Thomfbon Imprint staff As part of International Women’s Week Gwen Jacob spoke at the Davis Centre last Monday to give her rationale for taking her top off while walking home in July of last year. Jacob was fined $75 and convicted of indecent exposure in January after removing her top last July 19, because it was 33 degrees Celsius and she thought she might be more comfortable with it off. The University of Guelph student began the discussion by recounting the events leading up to her arrest and the numerous court appearances that ensued, making the occasional humourous jab at the inability of most television and newspaper reporters to get the facts of her story correct. After reiterating some of the sexist remarks made by the judge during her trial and remarking on the entrenchment of patriarchal values in the judicial system, she stated the reasons for appealing her conviction.

On February 7 to 9, urban planning students from coast to coast met in Canada’s capital to participate in the National University Workshop in the Greenbelt. Sponsored by the National capital Commission (NCC), the workshop provides national perspectives on how to manage. the unique 20,000 hectare “emerald necklace” of green space that surrounds the capital. ‘The workshop is an exciting reallife opportunity for the urban planners of tomorrow to design the capital of tomorrow by preserving one of its most important assets,” says NCC Chairman Jean Pigott. ‘%y coming together in the capital and sharing their expertise and vision, these students will help qmm that we have an environmeritally friendly capital that reflects Canadian values.” Professor Karen Bowles Hammond of the University of Waterloo’s Urban and Regional Planning department attended the workshop along with undergraduate IJRP students. ‘The workshop provided handson experience for students to work under time and financial constraints, to present information in an effective way,” Hammond said. “It also provided the chance to meet students from other universities.” Her role in the workshop was to give lectures, organize field trips and workshops, and supervise the students’ projects. Universities from British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia participated in this workshop. Each university team presents a detailed land-use concept for the Greenbelt to their peers and a panel of experts, including Ian McHarg, the renoy ;ned ecological planner and author of the landmark book De@ with Nature. The NCC will use the students’ ideas to develop a long-range plan to make the Greenbelt sustainable and relevant to the future of the capital. The Greenbelt creates a rural landscape in an urban environment by providing sustainable faming ad forestry, recreational opportunities and conservation areas on the capital’s doorstep.

It is as little as eight kilometres from Parliament Hill and ranges in width from two to ten km. The National University Workshop on the Greenbelt plays a critical role in ensuring that the National Capital Greenbelt is sustainable and relevant to the future evolution of Canada’s capital. In September 1990, the National Capital Commission (NCC) launched a major three-year, three-phase review of the Greenbelt. Phase I, which is essentially’ finished, involves amassing detail&l

information on the Greenbelt, including future trends and public opinion, and the elaboration of a new vision of the Greenbelt’s role in the capital’s future. Phase II will elaborate alternate land use concepts for the Greenbelt and lead to the selection of a preferred concept by the summer of 1992. Phase III, to be completed by the summer of 1993, will formulate the strategies and policies to implement the preferred land use plan for the Greenbelt. A team of students from each planning school has been formulating a Greenbelt land use concept since September as part of their university studies. The National University Workshop on the Greenbelt offers the participating planning students valuable experience and university credits while providing the NCC with the alternative visions needed to make the Greenbelt viable and nationally

She argued that there is a distinct difference between something that is basic and something that is trivial. “The right to wear pink socks is trivial,” she said, but the right to take one’s shirt off is a basic one that men legally can exercise, but women cannot.

This week’s column is for the sports fans ir \e audience. If you aren’t one, please indulgr le and keep on reading. Sports is in the business of playing with you motions, with highs and lows - teams gc om worst to first and back again, buoying nd then dashing fans’ hopes, Warrior ant thena fans included. This year, we were treated to the bes ?gular season ever in school history for var ity football when the team compiled a 5-i 2cord and finished in second-place in tht NAA West. Then, disaster struck; Wilfric aurier, the team we had battered in wee1 even, returned the favour the following wee1 I knock us out of the playoffs. They advancer I, and won, the Vanier Cup. In hockey, the Warriors led their division fol lost of the season and rose as high as third ir le national rankings before losing to the iuelph Gryphons in the playoffs. Again aurier’s Hawks eliminated Guelph tc dvance to the nationals. But in both cases, the letdowns were ngular and from a successful pinnacle. Thiz inter, however, the men’s basketball tears as taken us along on a tantalizing rollercoas!r ride, fuelled by the hype of preseason hope ‘Id driven on by shimmering moments 01 rilliance. The team’s 7-7 is a telling indication i how this year has gone - it represents the sst and the worst of times. The season’s low point was a home-coun j-point loss to the Western Mustangs in the 4C and its high point came last weekend Jainst the same team, this time in Alumni Hall London. In recent weeks, the poetry of this team’s ‘ogress was made all the more visceral by the ?ws that this is Don McCrae’s 22nd and final mason as head coach of the team. in the last game of the 1991 campaign, we 3re treated to the chest-pounding, heart-inlur-throat thrill of Sean VanKoughnett flying ward the Western Mustangs’ zone like a run-bound Russ CourtnaIl and launching ree-pointers as soon as he entered visual nge of the hoop. In the second half of last weekend’s playoff Ime, as in all occasions when the Warriors Ive struck with force, the excitement doubled Alex Urosevic lent his unique brand of inlur-face trey bomb to the attack againstthe angs. He takes the pass on the baseline, bps, looks for the pass, leans into the defenr to fake the drive, and springs into the air, ling, releasing, and landing to the sound of ?sh 25 feet distant, Victory is sweet but beating Western is pure oxication. in fact, the only thing better than rating Western in the playoffs is doing so ice in one season, as the Warriors did during 5 1966 campaign. The Brock Badgers now occupy the lofty irch owned by Western last season: a tional number-one ranking. They are ,)iath, and if the Warriors can successfully #y David tomorrow, they will head back to ! magical PAC next weekend to participate the Wilson Cup. Even with a loss, the team must be credited those qualities exhibited by all varsity uads - trying their hardest and wanting, Ire than anything, to win. Something

I thorobghly accept that words like ‘rag’are often used in a context to denigmte women, and ‘rag’ in particular, to ridicule and reduce a woman’s anger to a mere symptom of her ‘inferior’ biological being. ‘Rag’ has often carried a degrading connotation, but so have the words: woman, wife, feminist, dyke, bitch, cunt and whore. These words are not inherent insuIts. I believe that words, as peo-

ple, change over time. I am not willing to give up language solely because someone chooses to use it against me; I would rather reclaim a word than lose it. I try to use as an analytical framework the context of a situation, dependent of course on my (always) limited awareness of many factors comprising a context. Though words are generally

prefer words

seen as having

to focus primarily

‘objective’

status, I

on the meaning

as understood by the speaker, and as intended for its audience. A politica belief of mine is that the less one has a vulnerability to those opposed to ones’ beIiefs, the easier it is to stay focused and direct energy towards affectink change, rather

than constantly being in a defensive position of having to validate. I do not choose to limit myself personally nor politically by those who are opposed to my ideas. From these beliefs and in the spirit of reclaiming, I decided to name the pullout section “International Women’s Day Rag.” Both the content and perspectives of the pullout was unusual for (even a campus) newspaper: PMS, women’s anger, pads, lesbians in academia. Part of empowerment is to (re)claim as a sense of strength what has

traditionally been used to minimalize. I am certainly not the first (self-identified) feminist to reclaim ‘rag’; the Vancouver publication, Diver@: Thu ksbiurt Rug, dedicated

several pages in its first issues to a

similar debate. Their masthead continues to carry the oxford Engksh Dictionury definition of rag: “an extensive display of disorderly conduct, carried on in defiance of authority or discipline.”

I accept that 3ume people will continue Co disagree with my choice of words. Upon having received complaints I felt a responsibility to explain my choice of words; please understand, this is not an apotogy,

We’ll heed you next time To the editor,

Well, Louise Graham, 2A Civil Engineering (and proud of it), and also a number of people on Imprint staff, as well as several others around campus: You have all had various things to say about the conduct of the recent Fed. election, and the vote on UFS, and I have something to say about your several opinions First off, Louise, it is a GOOD’thing to have opinion in a Newspaper. This idea that a newspaper should report just the facts, and nothing else is absurd, because an opinion involved in even choosing which facts to report, and how to go about reporting them. Anyway it is fairly obvious when something someone states is an opinion: you managed to figure it out, for example. And while it might not be prudent for a National newspaper to assume that it’s readers are reasonably intelligent, I should certainly hope that this a safe assumption for a university paper. And Louise, as to your anger about the suggestion that the Engineering undergrads vote as a bloc (“like sheep”) - well, it is something that has been true at U of W for quite some time now. Whether you think of it as being “like sheep” or “with faculty spirit” is completely a matter of perspective. But in any case there is really nothing wrong with it, and no reason why it shouldn’t happen. And lastly, to all of you: Louise, the Imprint, and everyone else who has got so upset recently about the election: WHY? The Federation of Students is a nothing organization. It represents almost nobody (10 per cent? 12 per cent?) and does very little. I’m sure that the Bombshelter and Fed. Hall, and the variety of other student services could exist quite happily without the Federation executive. That Imprint is upset because such a pathetic, small, and unimportant club didn’t let the paper know what was going on is rather funny, and not at all complementary to the paper.

seems to have spilled over onto our university campus. The situation I am talking about is the civil war taking place in the old (but no longer existent Yugoslavia. As the son of Croatian parents (I myself was not born there), 1 found the latest announcement by Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic that, “the civil war in Croatia is over” to be a bit of a relief. I must say, though, that I was quite annoyed on Thursday, February 27, when I saw the Serbian Chetnik symbol emblazoned on the wall by the stairs leading up to South Campus Hall. I shrugged it off, knowing fuII well what it was, but thinking that this was just an isolated incident. But, I was mistaken. In a stairweIl in the Modem Languages Building some Serbian (or supporter of Serbia) had left another sign of their presence. There was also graffiti in one of the bathrooms in ML, commenting on the sexual orientation of Croation males. I have also learned thaton a stop sign on campus someone had stuck the word “Croatia” under the STOP. I have had my car vandalized twice (stickers put over a Croatian sticker, and a tire slashed); and I’m directly blaming the Serbian students at this university. I have been going to this university for two years now, and have not encountered any “ethnic problems” until Croatia declared its independence Iast June. I did not come to Canada to fight Serbs. I don’t think any Croatian student has any intention of inflicting any harm to any Serbian student, but the Serbians are making it awfully hard for us not to notice them. I guess my point if this: the war is being waged in Croatia. Let’s keep it there, and not bring it here, is that too much to ask? Yugoslavia is DEAD. Croatia has fought for independence, and there’s no force will bring back under Serbo-communist rule. And I think it’s about time some peopte noticed that. Name withheld

OFS doesn’t represent professional students To the editor, Peter Brown has retracted his comments likening engineering students to sheep but he continues to offend with his condescending suggestion that engineering students are . “like-minded” while the Faculty of Arts has “more diversity.” In searching for explanations of why engineering students voted overwhelmingly to withdraw from the Ontario Federation of Students, Brown has overlooked the obvious: the OFS does a poor job of representing engineering students. In fact, it’s not representative of students in any professional program. Mathew EngIander 4N lkglisln/Math

This is a time when much is being made of euthanasia and the right to die. But what of the right to live? Neither the state nor one’s relatives may morally force themselves upon one. Why is self-determination not recognized as the simple moral right that it is?

For euthanasia may be a strategic move. What if your brain is being slowly destroyed by a brain tumour that modem medical technology is helpless to cure. Cryonics should be used. Cryonics is a last-resort measure of freezing critically ill people who may be thought of as “dead” or who are declared legally dead, in hope that they might not be really dead if they, that is, their memories, (and only secondly, their DNA) can be successfully saved until medical technology has advanced to the level at which a whole new body can be grown for them. What good would it do to have pronunciation of legal death forbidden only until after your brain is totally destroyed by the tumour? If you can declare yourself legally dead, ie. invoke euthanasia, you just might be able to give the grim reaper a judo throw. In general, however, you should join a Cryonics organization at an early>’ age as Iife insurance. There are three Cryonics organizations who have frozen many people. They are: The Cryonics Institute in Detroit, contact Robert Ettinger at (313) 548-9549, The American Cryonics Society in San Francisco, contact Jim .Yount at (415) 639-1955, and the Alcor Foundation in bs Angeles, contact Ralph Whelan at (714) 736-l 703 or (800) 367-2228. Alcor now has custody of the longest-frozen patient, a man frozen in 1967.

International Women’s Week printed in the February 28 Imprint. AZ1 of the pieces were written thoughtfully and courageously. The body of articles has acted as a catalyst, encouraging more informal discussion of gender-related issues that I have ever heard on campus before. As a female in a male dominated faculty, I find the dialogue among my male classmates especially encouraging. I am disappointed, however, at the Imprint staff’s choice of titIe for the pull-out section: “The International Women’s Day Rag.” The word rag has many connotations. By my interpretation, none of them are positive. While it may have seemed fit& printing “Rag Rag Rag” on the front of the section was certainly not a mind-opening introduction for such a sensitive group of issues. Please clarify the intended meaning of your label if I have misinterpreted it.

in last week’s issue of Imprint. I haven’t had such a good Iaugh since.. . well since the last time you pubIished a Women’s Day section. Like many of your readers, I’m not exactly sure what %eterosex.ism’, lesbophobia’, and ‘eco-feminism’are supposed to mean, but I do find these word derivations highly amusing. You will be happy to know that this linguistic creativity is not confined to the Women’s Studies faculty. As a case in point, I, Iike other members of my floor at residence, am proud to be an official ‘cunnilinguy.’ Sadly, I doubt whether any of these words will find their way into the next edition of the QED, but one never knows. As for the problem of those people who unjustly accuse feminists of being lesbians, perhaps you should reread the article entitled ‘An Academadyke.’ It seems to me that you state their case for them After alt what is one

Right-toopression To the editor, It is appropriate that we respond to Chris Reitzel’s letter ‘Stats Misleading’ {Imprint, 28 February). Chris challenged our claim, made in the previous issue of Imprint, that teenage pregnancy in Kitchener-Waterloo decreased from 1976 to 1989 by forty percent. The figures from the Ministry of Health and an independent study by M. Orton and E. Rosen’ blatt for McMaster University (due for press release 11 March) are as follows: in 1976 there were 804 teenage pregnancies, and by 1989 this had been lowered to only 479, down 40.4 percent. In 1976,247 of these women opted for an abortion; in 1989, 163 did, down 34.0 This had resulted primarily from family planning of the sort in which Planned parenthood engages, which includes education about contraception and sexuality. Such programs are “coktructive” in that they empower young women (and men) to control their bodies and their lives. It is irresponsible to claim that Planned Parenthood “strongly advocates kiIling unborn babies”. This vicious lie is typical of Right-to-Life supporters. Planned Pamtthmd prwid~~ cowpkte and unbiased cou?~w~~i~~gthqv udvucatu mthifjg but i~!fomwd choice. Right-to-Life has contributed nothing to reducing the number of abortions in K-W. In fact, they have made our community more dangerous. While denouncing Planned Parenthood, Chris blithely condemns “seriously harming a mother” (ie. a woman). But on 26 may, 1990 a 16-year old woman in Kitchener was “seriously hanned” and hospitalized following a ‘backstreet’ abortion. Had information about safe alternatives been more widely available, this would not have happened. And now that evpv doctor who performed abortions has stopped because of harassment, this tragedy is more Iikely to recur,

This suits’ Right-to-Life just fine. It is disingenuous to defend Right-to-Life while claiming to be “partial to life, motherhood and health.” This organization is a menace: it puts young women in danger; it praised the defeat of the proposed Women’s Health Centre; it supports attacks on pro-choice physicians; and it’s slander at Regional Council - combined with the other smear campaigns (see KW Rmrd, 29 February) - nearly cost Planned Parenthood its provincial funding. The restricted ‘life, motherhood and health” that Right-to-Life advocates for women aims to curtail non-traditional, autonomous lifestyle by denying access to necessary resources, especially abortion services. They are also eager to censor information. Although we do not believe your claim to have “studied” PIanned Parenthood, Chris Reitzel, we do believe that you have the right to do so. Unlike you, however, we believe that every woman in K-W is fit to enjoy this same right, and to judge for herself. Bryan smith Scott Mintz

Freedom opinion

To the editor, I am writing in response to Martin Bruin’s letter (“Naked Choice”) from February 28. In his letter, Mr. Bruin attacks the concept that everyone is entitled to their own opinion in as much as there is some higher morality which overrides choice. I’m afraid Mr. Bruin has missed the point entirely about freedom of choice and opinion. It’s not a question of there being an objective truth, but rather one of whose idea of it do we follow. In my opinion, we can’t argue for or against the existence of higher morality because it has no physical form. How do we detect an objective “reality” with only subjective senses? I, like hundreds of mi.IIions of others, do happen to beiieve there is a higher truth - but none of us can prove it exists. We just believe it is there. The big problem and the source of all the debate is that we all believe in different things. Who is to say whose version of reality is right and whose is wrong? You? Me? Many people think that Church leaders and scriptures reveal the objective and m&al truth. But whose church? Even amongst Christians vthere is much dissent - to say nothing of all the other religions in the world. So how, Mr. Bruin, can you say there is some overriding morality that we just have to “sense” and follow? You say anti-abortionists are just in favour of making “good” choices. Whose experience of this objective good are we talking about? For ail we know, the pro-lifers may be right - but the point is that we don’t know. We just believe. In my opinion, we as a society get our laws and “truths” when enough people believe in a thing to force others to follow. Like it or not, higher morality has nothing to do with it. This imperfect

process is exactly why I believe we

must all have the right to hold and express our own opinions - out own imperfect vision of that elusive objective truth. For all anyone knows, society may be wmng and that one dissenting voice may be right; or perhaps it is

Where I iive, there is no blue-box recycIing program, Instead the city has opted for neighbourhti green dumpsters because it’s cheaper. Bloated garbage bins these large, green, plastic containers are; three to a site, scattered on various street corners, like automated banking machines, their single, push-open mouths stuffed with Globe and Mails, 1I-a Btxws, Allo-&h&s; corrugated paperboard, flattened boxes; empty tins and cans that once held tomatoes, kidney beans, syrupy fruit, Thai chili paste, coconut milk; foreign and domestic wine bottles, cheap and dear; and a number of restricted items - plas tic bags, glossy Elle magazines, ang white paper fragments with somebody’s deep but frivolous inner thoughts. And excess recyclables are stacked neatly beside these satisfied eco-green machines giving a false fastidious sheen amid the imprint of the wasteful societyThere is something disturbing in this image. As equally dishzrbiig as the one in which it was reported in a letter to the editor to the Montnwl Gazette, of a woman who walked her dog while driving in her BMW, near Concordia University. No kidding. She drove, stopped, drove slowly, stopped and continued in this manner while her pooch trotted on the sidewalk beside the car. The letter writer was correct in pointing out this blatant exampIe of’let them eat cake” (my hyperbole), damn-the-poor attitude that afflicts the wealthy class. It is comforting to know in thesf depressionary times that the time-honoured practice of flaunting your wedth hasn’t much changed. StiII, it may or

may not have been -20 degrees outside - it was February. I don’t want to argue about the immorality of this act, here, - that’s for you to decide but just to say it was quite tactless. These two images have more in common than I would like to admit. Both seem to be illustrations of the cuItura1 attitude of the “throw away society”. The poor and middleclass can imitate the rich by being environmentally good citizens. The green glutton and the blue boxes attest not to a heightened environmental awareness by ordinary folk. No, I think it reflects the same mindset of that woman walking her dog with her car. It is the outlook of having too much or trying to have too much because you have too little. Granted, there are those who genuinely believe they are doing their duty by participating in the Great Recycling Campaign. Every little bit helps - I do ‘it. But we shouldn’t stop there. I don’t give much stock to those who argue that environmentalisni is an ideological damper on capitalism’s parade toward greater prosperity and a higher standard of limg for society. “Society” is often times an exclusive club. That “Other” we call nature, or resources by the more economically inclined, will run out or be irreparably damaged, no longer able to replenish quickIy enough to meet the demand for ever more and more goods. A broader society unfettered ,by class interests (a tied Marxist cliche, perhaps) that is organized around ecological principles gives many an unpleasant vision of Utopia. But this seems eminently preferable to the corporate oligarchy that is the Utopian dream of the G7 industrialized states.

“If you build it, he will come.” - W.P. Kinsella, Shoeless Joe I wasn’t exactly the president of the Madonna haters fan club, but to this day the only money I’ve spent on the Motor City diva is the eight bucks I forked over to see that luscious and ludicrous rockumentary, Truth or Dare, a rare and insightful (if cliched) look into the chutzpa behind the glamour, Worth seeing, even if you couldn’t care less about Ms. Cicconi’s obsessive personality or her sugar pop tart ballads. Usually, I find myself in tune with Sean Penn’s assessment of the former “Boy Toy” and Mrs. Penn: (on Letterman) “Actudly, Dave, like I was saying earlier about things getting blown out of proportion . . . We’ve never met.” Who cares about Madonna anyway? Certain women, like Camille Paglia (of Sexupl Personae fame)’ in particular, have championed the Material Girl as a .more fully appropriate - and, in fact, the most excellent - fematle role-model ever to have come out of popular culture’s corporate towers, which may very likely be true. This isn’t saying much. Myself, I’ve just borrowed a,friend’s sister’s copy of Wayne’s and Garth’s number one babe’s greatest hits package, “The ImmacuIate Collection.” (As in “the immaculate conception”? Whoa, hold off on the Catholic imagery.) And, to describe a certain conversion experience (devirginization), it ain’t bad, man. That is, “tb be. touched for the very first time.” (WhoaJ Truly. Yeah, Madonna, you made me feel shiny and new.

And though, really, I’m not that kind of boy, this time was different. Special. Exuberant. I mean, hey. Ill be the first one to give the woman credit for staying power, but listening to “HoIiday” ten years after the fact (God, really) , . . I -was right up there on my tippy tms, snapping my fingers, having a grand 01’ time. When,it was first released, we all did our best to ignore it (Viva Zeppelin!). But listening to this CD, a little older and a little wiser, I began to think that even a Marilyn Monroe wanna-be can be a smart cookie, if she wants to be. With songs progressing from “Material Girl” rend “Crazy for You” to “Express Yourself” kd “Justify My L,ove,“Madonna has shown a maturing talent for strong. assertive, albeit danceabIe songs about love, relationships and power. Even early songs like “Borderline” have elements of later declarative lyrics like, “you’ve got to make him express himself/ to show you how he feels/ tell you *at his love is real.” What’s perhaps most interesting about songs like, say, “Borderline” and “Express YourseE” is the shift from the earlier almost helpless wishfulness of “you’re pushing my love” to the dynamic and pedantic “you’ve got to . . .“A sign of the times? Maybe. Madonna a feminist? Sure. So, yeah, Madonna. Party on. You’ve earned my respect. Will you still love me in the morning?

EXTRA, EXTRA . . , Rhetoric is everywhere. On a recent episode of ‘Netvhart” the town is debating whether to cut down a scenic forest to make room for development. Developer: “God has done his part (by making the trees); now it’s time we did ours (and cutthem down).” George claps. Bob scolds him. George: “Boy, that guy can really play with your mind.”

Question 1: Are you female? Scoring: If you answered “yes” to question 1, then ves, you are being ripped off. tt seems that a woman pays more for several basic goods and services than men do. In other words, it costs a woman more simply to exist in this society. Don’t get me wrong; I am in no way asserting that men don’t get ripped off (anyone who is a consumer has certainly been ripped off more than once}, nor am I saying that men don’t spend a great deal of money during their lifetime. What I am asserting is that women often pay more for the feminine version of a product than a man pays for the masculines version of that same product. Furthermore, this type of sexual discrimination is blatant - all I had to do to find proof was to take a tip to the local mall. At the drugstore I discovered many examples of pricediscrimination according to the gender of the consumer. Take, for example,

Discriminating prices by Lori Beckstead Money is a primary concern for most people, especially for us students who, in general, don’t have any to spare. Getting ripped off is the last thing a person on a tight budget wants

There was a book published in Great Britain just after the First World War called “The ICrisis of Democracy” and that cry has been raised often in the past 90 years in the face of rising socialist and pacifist ideals. Typically, this rhetorica label has been used as a pretext to bash any opposition to State aggression and repression in the so-called democratic countries. For example, near the end of the US invasion of Vietnam, this refrain was heard chiding the chorus of student, counterculture anti-war demonstrations that had soured middle America’s support for the military offensive. Paradoxically, there is a crisis of democracy if one steps outside of the conventional use of this epithet. As I see it, most industrialize4 nations do not actually have democratic forms of governance adjoined to their political institutions. By that I mean a face-to-face, participatory democracy. And the use of this term “a crisis of democracy” by those who would justify state power to quash dissent obscures ~this very real problem. There is not a more effective argument than to suggest that in our complex, global village, the Greek face-to-face democracy is inadequate to meet the needs of modern people. You might even add that this is the best possible arrangement that we have come up with to face the challenge of maintaining order and the rule of law among inherently selfish andcompetitive individuals. Although I’m no political scientist - no “secular priesthood”. for this independent writer who values his own thoughts, small though they may be - some familiarity with our contemporary social institutions must be addressed. By doing so, we may then be in a position to guard ourselves against the public relations (read: propaganda) verbiage that infects so much of our political discourse from those in positions of power and authority. First, let us address and hopefully agree upon the concept of democracy. Conventional wisdom offers at least four interpretations or meanings, though it could be expanded to embrace many more: 1) government by the people - a form of government in which supreme power is rested in the peopie and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system; 2) a state having such a form of government; 3) political or social equality; democratic spirit; 4) the common people with respect to their political power. The word “democracy” is derived from the Greek citwnkrd~, or popular government. What I will try to show in a very sketchy portrait is how the “official history,” the democratic rhetoric we are given does not correspond to the “real history” of democracy in practice, a history that is certainly real for its victims. Constituents,

voters,

taxpayers

or serfs?

The first meaning does not exist in the West. In the three traditional levels of government in most industrialized countries municipal, provincial or state, and federal all are based on some form of representation either parliamentary or republican or some hybrid of the two. Although this may sound absurd to some, the feature that links a Western democratic country and a communist country is the fact that both have capitalistic economic systems: the former is corporate and the later is Statemanagerial. Do not believe the trite phrase that the end of the Cold War was a triumph fur capitalism. Think of it more as restructuring. Noam Chomsky’s &&ting Dumocrtlcv (Versa, 1991), his scathing critique of Bush’s New World Order, throws some interesting historical light on the ideological construct that was the Cold War.

(For a more complete discussion of the emergence of hierarchies and states, see Bookchin’s The Ecology of Freedom, and Urbanization Without Cities, both 1991 publications from Black Rose Books.) In fact, the rise of the state and more recently the nation-state (as two separate phenomena, the former be epitomized by

Now let us turn to the se&&meaning of democracy. By definition, a state is a &I government as distinguished from individuals or the church or whatever religious authority holds sway over a society. After arguing against the first instance above, it follows that a democratic state is not democratic, by definition. Sounds a bit Orwellian but I assure you it isn’t. Look at it this way: The modern state is the collective apparatus of representatives and its bureaucratic support system - the peopIe, or civil servants, whom we face when we pick up our welfare cheque. The state also holds a monopoly on legal violence, vested in the military and the police. You will find little that

imperial Rome and the latter by the US), spelled the end of freedom of democracy in the industrialized countries. George Woodcock, Canada’s most perceptive social critic, calls the Canadian parliamentary system fiveyear fascism (Canadiun Forum, December 1990). His argument is that Canadians only get a taste of political freedom on election day and that leadership has been degraded to nothing more than “the cult of the leader” as it entrenches a corporate oligarchy in Ottawa. American author Bertram Gross labels his own country’s state of affairs friendly fascism (Ftiendlv Fascism, South End Press, 1982). The “democratic” corporate capitalist state can no Ionger exercise violence against its own people, as what the state capitalists of China did during the student protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989, but must resort to subtle though control. In practice, this has been achieved by the culture industry known as Hollywood andJ&qeyland in the West. ‘War,

whslt is it &ad

for? It’3 good for bud-

negs.“ Let us illustrate friendly fascism at work, or having so much fun as the rap group Consolidated puts it. Many Third World countries created governments along the western political model after gaining independence.

(Some had to first await the fall of domestic dictatorships, as was often the case.) It was the only way for these countries to quaIify for the massive development aid and relief that was to be had ever since the Truman administration committed the US to Third World deveIopment - a major part of its global economic strategy of securing markets for US capital. And of course these countries were free to develop their own forms of democracy so long as US corporate interests were protected. When some of the governments became overly “nationalistic” ie. advocating domestic control over their economies, greater citizen participation in political affairs, and popular movements for social reform they ran into troubIe with Uncle Sam. Overnight they became state regimes, “Communists”, and/or Soviet-sponsored dictatorships among many colourful invective adjectives found in the editorial rhetoric of The Nau York Times and K%e Washington Post. Never mind that these governments, or the new, popularly elected ones, were implementing democratic reforms, US business risked losing profitable markets and cheap resources; ergo, they must be undermined. This is what happened to So&h Vietnam on a morbidly massive scale during the 1960s and to Nicaragua during the 1980s of the Reagan administration, But wasn’t the task of Kennedy’s and later Johnson’s administration to protect the South Vietnamese from the Soviet-backed, Communist north? “Don’t let Viekain fall.” And weren’t the Sandinistas a bunch of totalitarian anti-democrats? Well, the US invasion of Vietnam was quite complex tind this is not the space for a @uonoIogical history. However, let me put it this way. Doesn’t it seem absurd that if you want to save a country from Commuriism you would carpet-bomb them bck to the Stone ‘Age? It happened. Not to mention the secret bombing of Cambodia and Laos iri’a spurious attempt to flush out the Viet Gong. Only a cynic would venture to say that Western European and Japanese capitalism needed a new market; recdnstruction would be a logical outcome of this naked aggression. A more educative example would be the covert, economic war waged by the US on Nicaragua (as a result of the YYietnam Syndrome”). This was a proxy war between the two superpowers, it has often been suggested. This argument falls flat when you consider that the US, via the Contras, was fighting the Nicaraguan government, the Sandinistas, who were put in place by a popular insurrection that toppled the US-friendly Somoza regime in 1979. A popular insurrection, I may add, that echoed the democratic spirit of 1776. Therefore, the role of the Soviet Union is irrelevant to our discussion here. The real reason for the US-backed campaign against Nicaragua was the Sandinista government’s social reforms that improved the general welfare of the peasant population and the poor workers. The Sandinistas removed institutional barriers to agrarian, any educational, and economic refornis. Such popular movements that the US government and its media lap dogs besmirched as Communist aggression against US security were actually democratic processes. In the eyes of US strategic planners, the development of popular movements within Nicaragua threatened the interests of US busi- i ness. While the Sandinistas were not saints, in comparison to the governments in El Salvador. and Guatemala, they never indulged in the brutality of the statesponsored death squads in the latter two countries. The Sandinistas did not murder their opponents. Meanwhile, the majority of ordinary working people in the US weren’t even paying attention That is because the US government

Government ‘of tl$t? people )mnt’d. from page 110 fits the model, indeed is the paradigm, of the “state-corporate nexus” that protects the power, interests, and privilege of an elite class of industrialists, lawyers, and politicians by hiding reality from its own citizens, with the help of the mainstream media. (See Noam Chomsky’s N4cessury Illusions - l%oug/zt Cont.& in Lkmocm~ic Societies, Anansi, 1991, for further discussion.) No such situation exists to this extent in Canada at the moment, but Mr. Muhoney is trying his damnedest to imitate it. Witness corporate Canada’s behaviour (with me Globe and Mails editors as cheerleaders) in regards to the Free Trade Argument and the 1988 federal election. Would you or I have the financial wherewithal to influence the electorate? Or what about the recently completed constitutional conferences? The government randomly chose citizens to attend 1 one of the five conferences, yet can we honestly believe they were representative of the vast differences in opinions that make up our society. Democracy

Today

Sadly, our third meaning of democracy has no existential reality in our world. Social equality, I think, necessitates the absence of a class system, at least as a precondition. Class structures still abound in every corner of the , world while political equality is difficult to manifest in our current parliamentary and party system. But this class system is not -necessarily an economic one. Indeed, -throughout history, the will to dominate has -emerged prior to the economic system of modem capitalism. This will to dominate may “still linger even after economic equality has ! been reached. 1 The interests of capital and power l invariably sets the political agenda. Not since the last depression in the 1930s has the voice iof the poor and workers been heard ‘meaningfully. And since that time, popular f movements, unions, cooperatives, and many rforrns of voluntary citizens’ organizations 1

have effectively been marginalized and silenced. The Reform Party is not a popular, grassroots movement as its leader and acolytes may claim They reflect the pyramidal power structures of the party system so well they don’t need a mirror to tailor the business suit of a parliamentarian to fit them. It is reaction in disguise. Trotsky betrayed the Russian workers and I’m afraid that Preston Manning will do the same to

Canadians. Is the picture beginning to fill in? If we do have a crisis of democracy in our midst, how should we remedy it? Current political institutions are a systematic mess. Mere parliamentary reforms are not enough. Indeed, as reported by i?!te Globe and Mail, MI% in Ottawa have already dismissed the recently released proposals of a royal commission on parliamentary reform and election spending.

And contrary to Marx, the state will not wither away when the workers form the state. Nor will our indifference and apathy hurry it along either. Such a stance only strengthens its hold on all areas of life, Political reform till have to involve the broader issues of ensuring economic democracy as well as political democracy. T,his will certainly mean a reevaluation of market ‘values and the dominance of capitalism as modes of producing the things of everyday life - food, clothing, shelter, energy. There are other ways of doing things. Fundamentally, democracy is the political power of the common people. The adjective “common” merits some comment because we can make a small distinction without it. In a perfect world, or as close to Utopia as possible (which is not what I’d wish for, because that is too limiting), democracy would be the political power just the people, equal and free. But because of the prevalence of classes - castes, according to Paul Fussell’s satiric formulation (Class, Ballantine, 1983) - to veil the latter conception of democracy over our present conditions obscures the social inequality that exists qua our present conditions. But the fourth meaning of democracy can provide the basis for a true democratic praxis. Every issue - equality, freedom, and social justice - must weave itself into the democratic fabric. Recovering the best thoughts of socialist and anarchist dissent has now become an urgent project. This at a time when the left has lost much credibility. And although their many internal contradictions must be faced with and resolved, popular movements such an.feminism and environmentalism can help concerned women and men sustain a comprehensive critique of the status quo. To dismiss them outright is myopic at best and fatal at worst They have already created a shift in people’s values. They are not bandwagons. In the next article, I will try to expand from this premise in an exclusive interview with the l!?th-century Russian anarchist Mikhail Bakunin.

Three, records fall

Into the Badger -den by Paul Done Imprint staff As Yogi Berra would have said, “It’s &ja vu all over again.” Like last year, the Waterloo Warriors playoff road runs through Brock University in St. Catharines, home of the number-one team in the nation. Saturday’s game (2pm) should be much different from last year, when it was a match-up between the underachieving Badgers and the inexperienced Warriors, each team sporting an identical 6-8 record. The Badgers went 12-3 this year to finish first, while the Warriors’ 7-7 fifthplace finish is more representative of inconsistency than mediocrity. For the first 20 minutes of their OUAA West quarter-final match against the Western Mustangs, the Waterloo Warriors looked like they were set for a third successive double-digit loss to the Purple Satan, and an early exit from the playoffs. Things didn’t turn out that way instead, a 24-6 run in the first six minutes of the second half set the stage for the Warriors’ 97-89 win in overtime. -’ Waterloo was sparked by Sean VanKoughnett’s offensive fireworks, pouring in twelve points in less than four minutes. Referring to VanKoughnett’s performance after the game, running-mate Alex Urosevic said “Sean just went bananas.” The second element in the Warriors’ surge wastougher defence; coach McCrae removed all the adjustments from the Warriors’ defence and told them to “get out there and challenge people, play it straight up and break down their patterns.”

It worked. In the 25 minutes of the second half and the overtime period, Waterloo held Western to a total of 40 points. In particular, Urosevic who’s defence has occasionally consisted of little more than an ‘Ole’and a wave of the cape - played in the face of his man, and grabbed six rebounds, *

uvercume ‘Stiulgs \

in uvertime most off the defensive glass. How much of the Warriors’ surge was accounted for the gunslingers? Urosevic and VanKoughnett poured in 42 of the 60 point Waterloo scored after half-time. Qverall,.they tallied 58 of Waterloo’s 97 points, with Alex getting 32 and Sean 26. The Warriors also got what CHCH-TV announcer Wes Hicks would call “‘paint performance” with 15 points each from Pat Telford and Chris Moore. Telford made a living at the free throw line, canning 9-of-13. * Rob Baird had perhaps the best game of his career. Though the things he provided the team couldn’t be measured on the score sheet, he had six assists and zero turnovers in 36 minutes, while providing stability at the point guard position throughout. That was t.heQ, BrQck is now. The Badgers have. improyed since the Warriors beat them lOl.-98 in overtime earlier this season in the PAC. Led by first-team OUAA All-

Stars Gord Wood and Brian Bleich (known as ‘the meatheads’), Brock has a potent inside/outside attack. While Wood and Bleich pound the glass, Alan MacDougall and Dave Picton snipe from the outside. Point guard Picton is the key to the Badgers offence: he breaks pressure, gets the ball into the big men, and hits enough of his no-arc three-pointers to keep defences honest. Having been named a second team OUAA West All-Star, he will also likely get the nod as OUAA West Rookie of the Year over Guelph’s Rich Weslowski. The fifth starter is swingman Rob Demott who handles the tough defensive assignments. It was Demott who was burned by VanKoughnett for 40 points in last year’s playoff game. In order for Waterloo to win they11 have to do several things: 1) Play 40 minutes at both ends. It’s one of the dumbest sporting cliches around, but it’s one that the Warriors have proven time and time again this year. They beat Western with 20 solid minutes. Beating Brock will take a full game’s effort. 2) Keep Telford, Hopkins, and Moore out of foul trouble. In order to minimize the damage that Wood and Bleich do inside, the Warriors will need their best post players in the game. 3) Get Mike Duarte back. Duarte, Waterloo’s defensive sparkplug, missed the last.two games against Western with an ankle sprain. He can put the pressure on Picton and interfere with Brock’s offensive flow. Duarte’s murderous doubleteaming can also slow Wood and Bleich. 4) Find MacDougall. U of T transfer MacDougall is a deadly standstill three-point shooter, and is an complement to the Badgers’ post game. Whether in a zone or man-to-man defence, the Warrigrs must not lose MacDougall on the floor, or they11 get burned again and

again. 5) Get Sean into the fI;w early on. In his big games last year, Sean got the ball early and often. Once in his groqve, VanKoughnett creates opportunities for the entire team, and will draw double-teams to allow Urosevic more shooting room, The second half of the Western game demonstrated the way in which the whole team feeds off his confidence. 6) Defensive boards. Wood has been one of the leading rebounders in the country for three straight years and Bleich is no slouch himself. Every black jersey will have to rebound like a fool in order to take away the putbacks, easy hoops, and foul trouble which stem from offensive rebounds. The pot of gold awaiting the Warriors, should they upset the Badgers, is sizeable indeed. This year, the OUAA will be holding a final-four tournament to determine-the winner of the Wilson Cup as OUAA Men’s Basketball Champions. The touma-

CFL Draft shucker

Warrior tailback inches short of the pros by Rich Nichol

Imprintsport8 There is one man at the University of Waterloo who is the epitome of a world-class athlete. He has spent endtess hours, day after day, year after year, pushing himself beyond all limitations and expectations toward one main goal, to one day make it to the Canadian Football League. However, it seems bitterly cruel, even discriminatory, that one of the greatest players ever to grace the gridirons of Canadian college football will be denied a chance to play in its pro ranks because of his height. Surprisingly, Warrior super-star

running back Tom Chartier was not chosen in the 1992 Canadian Football League Entry Draft held in Hamilton,. Ontario last Saturday. Scouts speculated that despite his tremendous talents, the S’Y’, 190-pound Ottawa native is simply too short to play in the CFL “I think the CFL made a terrible mistake,” said UW skipper Dave ‘Tdfy” Knight. “They base their draft picks solely on measurables. But there are two factors about Tom which he is the best at: one is his toughness, the other is his balance. He has the best balance of any player I have *ever coached. In a one-day CFL recruitment camp, you can’t measure things like that.”

Three other CIAU running backs were picked: Lome King of Toronto, Chris Wilson (Bishop’s), and Craig Kittleson (Calgary). But with alI due respect, the only thing which makes these three players superior to Chartier is about three inches of height Their rushing stats are virtualfy equal. Chartier has played four years at Waterloo. He was a first-team AllCanadian in 1990, a second-team AllCanadian in 1991, an OUAA all-star in the past two seasons, and is the alltime leading rusher in UW history. In 1990 he became only the fourth player in the OUAA to rush for over 1,000 yards in a season, collecting 1,031 yards, and repeated the feat this past season with 1,052 yards. The accolades are endless. Despite his lack of height, Chartier sure makes up for it with his speed and strength. At the Warriors’ training camp last fall, he ran a Q.&second 40-yard dash and bench-pressed 225

pounds for ten repetitions and a maximum of 440 pounds once. Those figures were the highest of any player on the team. It is amazing the number of potential super-stars who’s dreams of a pro career are snuffed out because of height. Yet, there are many shorter players who defy the odds and prove the scouts wrong. Toronto Argos running back Mike “Pinball” Clemens is three inches shorter than Chartier. The NFL also has its share of pintsized powerhouse running backs. Bany Sanders of the Detroit tions is only 5’8” and 200 pounds. Others only slightly higher are: Thurman Thomas - Buffdo Bills (S’lO”, 198 pounds), James Brooks - Cincinnati Bengals (5’10”, 182 pounds), and Earnest Byner - Washington Redskins (5’lU”, 215 pounds). .

to Imprint

Emmanuel United Church, (or E MANUEL United Church, as the sign outside would have had me believe), a beautiful old building situated in the very heart of Uptown Waterloo, seemed at first an unlikely venue for the likes of Garnet Rogers and fiddletoting sidekick Doug Long. At least that’s what I thought, as I glanced around at the curious, semicircular sanctuary, marvelling at its gorgeous carved woodwork and flipping through a hymnbook just for fun. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Rarely have I participated in (yes, I copied the lyrics of “Northwest Passage” as best I could from the people sitting close by who already knew the words) as intimate and enjoyable an evening of music. Garnet, in trademark fine form (tie if you’re a sucker for huly corny comedy), quickly put the congregation at ease by quoting Woody AIlen, drawing our collective attention to his “virility-enhancing machiie” (read: guitar synthesizer), and generally poking fun at his accompanist, Doug Lon& “a lovely man.” ln spite of their feigned derision of one another, Rogers and Long shared an enviable, easy-going yet intense stage presence. Watching one another intently, they created musical magic. Note that a collaborative album is currently in the works. In spite of their constant stream of silly banter between songs, Rogers and Long created a da&, dangerous mood. (They described the first segment of the show as simply “depressing,” the second as “truly suicidal”) The anguishing “Last of the Working Stetsons,” a lament for the “good old

folk for concert-goers in need of refreshment (and ,a fresh wad of Kleenex)) Being a bit of a Rogers family neophyte, I had heard only a few of the songs before and could only guess at the titles of most of the songs featured in the second half of the program. Not that I consider that a disadvantage. Rather, as a relatively uninitiated Garnet Rogers fan, 1 was able to savour every word and lyrical image, rather than waiting to sing along with my favourite songs.

Rogers is intense, imaginative, and intimate. Both artists face haunting or disturbing images and themes headon, both are musically masterful, and

both command their listeners’utmost attention and respect. It would be as impossible for me to leave Stan Rogers out of this review as it appears to be for Garnet to leave him out of one of his sets. Garnet, who embarked on a solo career only after Stan’s death in the early l%Os, seems to feel an obligation to pay homage to Stan in front of each and every audience he entertains. Not that that’s a bad thing. Stan was one of the finest folk musicians this country has ever seen. The point here is that Garnet deserves credit as a wonderful musician in his own right, and not he exhibits an simply because uncanny musical resemblance to Stan. Similarly, by featuring songs from his folkie peers, Garnet Rogers is also doin& his partto make Bobby Watt, Mary Chapin -Carpenter, and John Jennings household names. Garnet Rogers and Doug Long deserved every second of an emotional ovation they received after their encore, a heartrending rendition of Stan’s “Northwest Passage.” Before I go, there is a moral to this story. Julia learned that E MANUEL is a cosy venue indeed, save for its harder-than-concrete pews. (Ever squirmed through church for THREE HOURS?) ,Promoter Mary Joy Aitken deserves thanks and.credit for her continued and continuing efforts to bring some of North America’s finest folk musicians to the area, as do the ticket-sellers, browniebakers, and tea-steepe,rs who made the evening one Birkenstock-clad fan’s dream come true. This’magical series continues into May; look forw?rd to Judy Small on Friday March 13 and Connie Kaidor on March 27 (both at E MANUEL), Two Nice Girls and Bourne and Macleod at the Commercial’ Tavern, on March 28 and April 25, respectively, and the fabulous Ferron on May 5.

by Stacey Lobin Imprint staff The University of Waterloo’s Upstage Productions, in association with the Creative Arts Board of the Federation of Students, is presenting Christopher Marlowe’s Erhuard 11, next week (Wednesday, March 11 to Saturday, March 14) at UW’s Theat-re of the Arts. Upstage Productions is in its tenth year on campus. Edward II is the story of King Edward II’s of England’s erratic reign, from 1308 to 1327, during which he showed ill judgment in choosing “favourites,” angered his court, abdicated his crown, and eventually got himself murdered. That, of came, is just the mere bones of an intricate and bloodthirsty play; Bdward, a hind-sighted and foolish

leader, is constantly under attack from his noble court, his favourite/ lover Caveston, his wife Isabella, and even his brother, Edmond - the many subplots and sudden twists and turns in narrative give the play an exciting flavour of intrigue and espionage.

Intigue and espionage are further enhanced by period costume, namely 1930s gangster gear, with Edward II as a Mafia don and his nobles as sleazy henchmen. Anita Kilgour,the play’s producer, explained that “although we didn’t want to change the nature of the text, we did want in some way to update the look of the Play - and decided on a Mafia motif.” Also, the play features some interesting cross-casting: ‘We also have some women playing male roles, but they’re playing them as women. So you will see the young Ptice Edward as a Princess, and the Bishop of Coventry as a woman,

among others.‘* The cast features a group of wellchosen and creative actors. Ronald Green is a formidable and imposing

Edward II, complete tith flowing bead and booming voice; he is well able to hold centre stage as a strong and furious king.

Lise Fortin is an expressive and versatile Queen Isabella, full of wifely concern one moment and evil treachery the next. Newcomer Marie Anzovino is hilarious as Lady Margaret de Glare, a shrill, ultra feminine, over-the-top niece of Edward, who is betrothed to Edward’s little pet, Gaveston. “I’m reaIly happy with the way the actors have developed their characters,” director Joe Vamell said. “Some have never acted before in university and they’re finding great ways to express the range of emotions and impressions that the characters require. I think we’re,going to be able to turn out a very good product.” Edwurd /I is playing at the Theatre of the Arts in the Modern Languages building. Tickets are $5 for &de>ts and seniors, and $7 for others; tickets are available at the Humanities boxOffice, in Hagey Hall. Try it - it’s cheaper than a movie and good for you, too.

This coming Monday’s My Bloody Valentine show presents itself as one of the most eagerly anticipated shows in recent memory. In having exceeded stagering expectations with their astounding song-cycle Lu~Y+.s.Y,fans and critics alike can scarcely conceal their verve and wonderment as to how the band will pull the material off live. Regardless, if advance notice is worth anything, the performance should be remarkable.

undoubtedly one of the finest albums to come out of Britain in years. For awhile, however, critics focused more on the Valentines’ apparent predilection for interminable procrastination - by comparison, the Stone Roses looked prolific - than the obvious influence they had transfixed upon the development of many young bands which the British press, for better or worse, have derisively dubbed “shoe-gazers.” Rumoured to have

Given their own high standards and precedence then, ~~G&.Ks eclipses all doubt, imitation and reason. A great/ deal of the album’s endearing charm lies in it’s baffling paradoxes it is simple yet complex, personal yet remote, ambiently gloomy yet uplifting. It’s intimacy won’t be found in the James Taylor confessional sense, (the lyrics defy audible comprehension), but rather in an aural sensuousness which washes over the listener.

I+?~~& is a bawdy, intelligent, and graceful documentary from the National Film Board’s Studio D. Filmmaker Gail Singer has interviewed a number of female comics and interwoven their comments with clips from their performances, in a quest to uncover what life is like for women in comedy. Featured comedians include established celebrities Whoopi Goldberg and Phyllis DiIler, up-andcoming talents Sandra Shamas, Ellen

DeGeneres, and Paula Poundstone, and off-beat, marginal artists like the Clicheties, a trio which pokes fun at pop tunes and images by lipsynching to them in various costumes. ‘7-Iumour can be a very dangerous sword,” explains one interview subject. When a woman starts telling the truth about her experience, it can be “like saying the Emperoi has no clothes.” Singer’s film is subversive in the sense that it gives women in stand-up a chance to speak their minds, both on-stage and off. The movie points out that while men have a habit-of interrupting women in conversation. (as has been shown in studies), when the woman has the

mike and is doing a stand-up routine, the maIes in the audience are forced to listen.

“Stand-up ‘comedy is a very aggressive thing,” says one participant. A few women comics prefer not to think about their gender, yet others can’t help sensing the hostility in an audience when they first step out. Some sav that the men in the crowd “look at ;ou twice, once to see your tits, and once to see what you can do,”

language. It is noted

in the fiim that comedians tend to be very angry - they _,_,_ want to talk about their lives and locate universal experiences, and the emotion underlying their mirth* making observations is often rage. And yet, Wismm~ks isn’t a battle cry. As Shamas remarks, one must “surrender to create the e&t of laughter. And when we surrender to one another, we empower each other.” Singer’s documentary is about that empowerment.

in order to rise above the throngs of unrecognized bands. Musically, any comparison to Sonic Youth is likely in part a result of ‘Kim Gordon co-producing the album (with Don Fleming). Courtney, the lead singer, has a powerful voice (surpassing Kim’s, in my opinion) that meshes well with the distorted guitars and general “grunge” sound that the band produces. Lyrically, part of it has a feminist tone, and another part of it appears to be disjointed psycho-babble, of which sense is not to be made. She also swears occasionally, resulting in the standard parental advisory label l being slapped on it. All in all, Prprry on fhe hide is a notable album that should soon manage to separate itself from the thousands of other indistinguishable efforts that flood the record stores each week.

Their self-titled debut is trippy and atmo$pheric, with an emphasis on creating afeeling rather than making any bold lyrical statements. Several songs are about “taking a ride to the stars” and are composed of simple phrases such as: “She plays electric guitar/ She drops the bombs on your heart” (“She Drops Bombs”) and “Ah, la, la, la, la, follow me” (“Ocean Wide“). While this is not exactly genius, it does work, largely due to the hypnotic voice of lead singer Colin Gregory. For the most part, Gregory’s voice comes across as an instrument,

kaging has some neat NASA photos. The first song “The Statue Got Me High” is the best one on the single. It doesn’t quite measure up to the quality of “Don’t Let’s Start” or “Birdhouse in Your Soul,” but it is bet-. ter than most of their songs. The song itself is about a statue taking over someone’s life and is better than most music out today. While the second song “She’s Actual Size” would be more the quality of a typical TMBG offering, and as such it is hard to pin down any great meaning to it. The last two songs are from a demo tape TMBG made in 1985 and I am glad to see they have improved since that time. “I’m Def” is a minute long and,sounds like an experiment they did when they first got a drum machtie. The last song “Which Describes How You’re Feeling” is again typical TMBG and again is typically unfathomable. So ovqralI, quality material, but would I recommend paying $12 for this thing? No way - wait a few months for the full-length album. If it is like their others, there will be 15-20 songs on it. At least that’s what I am going to do.

Stick Aruund For Joy. To be completely objective about this album, I would have to say “more of the same.” But that, in itself, is not a bad thing.

The tunes on Stick Around Fur Joy are crisp and refreshing. The opening track “Gold” and the zealous “Walkabout” leave us eager for more. Inciting us to enthusiasm, the Sugarcubes are a small fix of kinetic energy, kind of like a cube of.. . what. . . sugar? The only problems I have with this new album lie with the vocalists. Simply put, I can’t hear enough of Bjork, but still wish Einar would learn to sing. The only fault in Bjork is that production has fettered her usually visceral voice and consequently the

After listening to the album for the last couple of months I found it to be a really good album and as such should have been included in my list, 1 regret any hardship this omission may have caused.

As for Einar, sure his broken rap is part of their sound, and maybe it does nicely juxtapose with Bjork’s flowing (strong as the NiIe) vocals, but he should be the fettered one. A little melodiousness would help much. AlI that aside, Stick Around For Jov pleases me well. The Sugarcubes have offered u’p an admirable. selection of tasty pop morsels.

Hmmm . . . a Damned tribute album. What?! How did this ever come to be? Then again, in these days of compilations, come-backs, boxsets and tributes, this could actually be expected as inevitable. Actually, it’s quite fitting for the first tribute album for a punk band (if I’m not mistaken) to be dedicated to the Damned. This only adds to the complicated history of the group who were the first British punk group to issue a single (“New Rose”), the first to tour America, first to break up,first to reform and break up and reform

best description I can offer is that the Damned were a messy, chaotic, uncool, occasionally invincible bunch of fun loving assholes who screamed sang crashed through, and even composed, some great tunes. this album only However, occasionally resurrects the,. spirit these songs originally had. This isn’t to imply that they should have been reproduced verbatim, in fact the best offerings on this album have reinterpreted the songs while still retaining the reason why they were written in the first place.

All the bands come from northwest America, specifically Seat-

sound that probably

a few notches below most garage rock. Being a bit of a Damned freak it was hard not to expect more. Most of the covers are performed adll;luately, but there’s nothing distinctive about them. I’m probably biased, but most of the songs are delivered by soft fuzzy guitars instead of the harder crunchy guitars that there should be. Also missing is the heavy, chugging bass and the ever-dominant drums. The best cover on this album is “Neat Neat Neat” by The Accused who have run the song through the trash mill. It’s fun and it sounds great. Skin Yard’s “Machine Gun Etiquette” isn’t bad either with some demented vocals that help make the song. Con-

tinuing hard and fast with honourable mentions are Freak’s Anti-Pope (helped along with some samples), the Fastback’s “Hit or Miss” sung as a demented duet, Mudhoney’s “Stab Your Back,” and Flop’s “Disco Man” which contains some funny lyrical improvisation. Two tracks that receive some major rethinking are Love Battery’s “I Just Can’t be Happy Today” and Hammerbox’s “New Rose.” “Just Can’t be Happy” has the original’s droning organ replaced by swiShy swashy guitars. “New Rose” has the chorus played fast and the verses rather laid back (so laid back that it wouldn’t be a far reach to have turned it into a reggae version). The heinous inclusion is the Posies’ cover of “Smash it Up.” I’m sure the The very rare exceptions

such as

Sgt. Pepper knew Mv Father or I’m Your FUII succeed only because the bands doing the covers are big enough not

to be picked on. It’s rarely because the song has undergone an original treatment.

Wonder Stuff could bash tha) one out better and it would still sound like shit. Why did they bother? It’s nice that they took the time to remember the Damned but this album will have a narrow appeal (strictly for fans of these bands and perhaps Damned freaks). For those who are adventurous enough to go beyond the Pistols, Ramones, or Clash, I would highly recommend Damned Damned Damned, Mtxhine Gun Ehpew, The Black Album, or TheLight~rth~End ofthe Turtdcompibtion to get you started.

1 can’t help but shed a tear when I see how slowly the Damned’s albums sell in record stores, so give a damn and ask Vince at Dr. Disc for those albums. “New Rose” from the Damned’s first album is treated pretty fairly by Hammerbox (no lack of stupid names here). Mudhoney plow through a pretty good version of “Stab Your Back” and the Accused, I must admit, do rock through “Neat Neat Neat.”

by Michael H. Clifton Imprint staff “A void, a dark emptiness, was before all time. From within this nothingness came a wind, gentle and quiet, . . . After many, many years the wind became thick and heavy, forming Do@ Gym-am, a great double thunderbolt in the form of a cross. From the thunderbolt came clouds, one upon the other, growing thick and heavy Iike the thunderbolt and the wind. Then, from the clouds, came the great rain, each drop as big across as a wagon wheel, each drop enough to cause a flood. For countless years the great rain fell, and when it stopped falling it had created Gjxztso, the primeval ocean.” (Norbu and Tumbull’s Tihel, Simon and Schuster, 1968: p. 19, “The l-egend of the Beginning.“) This gentle and picturesque ancient story of the beginning of the earth tells another tale to modern hearers. Metaphorically, it seems to tell the tale of Tibet’s suffering, the suffering of her peaceful people under the crushing storm of Chinese tyranny and oppression, which like a great ocean has washed them from their homes and washed their homes from the land. The story of Tibetan suffering is told without metaphor and without shame, on TVO’s Humart Edge- A Surrg.for Tihut, Tuesday, March 10, at 10 pm. Thubten Samdup was nine years old when he last saw his occupied homeland. Of the 12 families that fled Chinese oppression, his was one of three to survive the trek. Once secure in India, Samdup joined with 15 other refugee children to create the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts, aimed at preserving the music and dance of their culture, symbols of the

heart and soul of their ret&ion of peace, gentle co-existence, and “a philosophy aimed at developing a clear and unclouded mind.” Now his home in Toronto is headquarters for the Canadian Tibet Committee and he: is teaching the Tibetan songs to “the first generation born in exile.” The program follows the activities and travels of Samdup and another Canadian Tibetan, Dicki Chhoyang, whose parents left Tibet in 1959 with the exiled Dalai Lama. As they interview members of their own families, and other friends and survivors of Chinese brutality, the simple power of Tibetan peace becomes evident. Chhoyang’s father is interviewed at the beginning and the end of the film, signifying the rhythmic cycle of life and truth. He recollects with a mixture of regret and, it seems, astonishment, “we were so caught up in our own lives that we lost our country. We were simple, religious people, minding our own business.”

At the end he admits, “I believe in the law of karma, and truth and justice will prevail. . . . As more countries learn of our tragedy, they will have compassion.” Chhoyang’s father’s faith in human nature comes from the testimony of the Dalai Lama, recipient of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize, regarding the fundamental truths according to Tibetan Buddhism: “Suppression by force may work in the short term, but in the long run it cannot last. It is contrary to human nature. . . . In human society, truth, genuine love, and compassion are priceless, and they will ultimately prevail.” To date, however, the only evidence that this faith has any validity is the incredible patience and inner strength of most Tibetans. Other countries, by and large, have not responded positively to the Dalai Lama’s requests for moral aid, despite his status as a Nobel laureate and head of the previous Tibetan state.

The main criticism the film raises is the “cold shoulder” Canada’s governmentgave the DalaiLamaduring his first and so far only official visit in 1989. Relegated to a back-room meeting in Ottawa, the Dalai Lama was granted no VIP status, and never got to meet the Prime Minister. The few MPs that did attend his speech were gracious and grateful, but because the House of Commons bells were ringing, most never even thought of attending. Accommodations, food, and security for the Dahi Lama’s visit were entirely provided by the Canadian Tibetan community, since the government refused to pay attention to the visit, in order, it seems, not to offend China and lose its massive market. For some Tibetans in exile, the attitude of most of the world’s governments to the Tibetan struggle means that the Tibetans themselves must be taking the wrong approach to their situation. Contrary to the Dalai Lama’s call for non-violence and faith in the ultimate goodness of human beings and human society, some Tibetans think there needs to be more action. “Essentially, we have missed the point,” says Lhasang Tsering, of the Tibetan Youth Conference. “Gov-

emrnents do not base their foreign policy on truth and history; they base their policy on the basis of selfinterest. We are trying to sell a commodity for which their is no market. Nobody wants to buy truth.” Sadly, this pessimistic reproach may be as true as we would like to believe the Dalai Lama’s simple hope is. It is with a hope like the Dalai Lama’s that A Song for Tibet has been produced. In a simple, unobtrusive manner the Tibetan struggle and suffering is portrayed with honesty and human emotion. It is not an overbearing plea for support, but a beautifully photographed, sensitively written, reflective interpretation of the needs and nature of a unique and oppressed culture, an exemplary subset of the world’s population who believe that history and truth will prevail, and the compassion of humanity will eventually be manifest. In the words of Thubten Jigme Norbu, elder brother of the Dalai Iarna, “There are many things in the future that are hidden from us, . . . Yet at least we believe that there is a future, in Tibet, and . . . we know that the uItimate end - enlightenment, release from all ignorance and suffering - is bliss.. . . This makes all sufferkg bearable.” (7X&, p. 351.)
